ZF-4034: Unnecessary call to _getTmpDir() in Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Abstract::getDestination()
In revision 10979 of the standard trunk, line 823 of Zend_File_Transfer_Adapter_Abstract calls its _getTmpDir() method for retrieving the current system temporary directory.
However, the return value of this method is only used conditionally, in two spots in the method (lines 836-837 and line 854). If I'm reading it correctly, it's only used when the destination of a file has not been explicitly assigned.
Now, this isn't really a problem in most cases. However, in the event that _getTmpDir() fails to find an appropriate temporary directory (i.e., it throws an exception from line 885), getDestination() fails too...even if the destination of the specified file HAS been explicitly assigned previously via setDestination(). In that latter case, the temporary directory isn't even needed, but its absence is causing the whole process to fail.
Given this, it would be better to retrieve the temporary directory only when it's absolutely certain that it's necessary; i.e., right before it's used in 836-837 and 854. That way users with unusual temporary directory settings will still be able to use the adapter by explicitly setting the destination every time.
Fixed with r10989
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

ETSU drops just one set during three-day tournament
ELON, N.C. (Sept. 15, 2013) – In its opening weekend of fall play, the ETSU women's tennis team dominated the Elon Fall Invitational, dropping just one set en route to winning all five flights it competed in.
Sophomore Lyn Yee Choo (Kuching, Malaysia) capped her stellar weekend with a straight set victory over Isabel von Stryk of USC Upstate (6-1, 6-3) to win the A-1 singles flight. Choo did not drop a set in singles play or doubles play, as she teamed with senior Salma Dahbi (Marrakech, Morocco) to capture the A-3 doubles flight.
Dahbi and fellow senior Sofia Espana (Mexico City, Mexico) elected to share the B-1 singles title, as both advanced to the finals Saturday. Espana dropped just one set during singles play, losing the first set to Taylor Casey of Elon in the semifinals before storming back to win in three sets.
Senior Giulia Andreazza (Balneario Camboriu, Brazil) knocked off William & Mary's Sydney Smith in the finals of the A-3 singles flight, 6-2, 7-5. Andreazza also paired with Espana to win the B-1 doubles flight, beating Mia Ramic and Aissa Muamba of North Carolina Central University, 8-1.
Choo (ETSU) def. von Stryk (USC Upstate), 6-1, 6-3
Andreazza (ETSU) def. Smith (W&M), 6-2, 7-5
Espana (ETSU) ties Dahbi (ETSU)
Choo/Dahbi (ETSU) def. Camara/Jansaker (Elon), 8-4

The Smyrna Middle School wrestling team won their 100th consecutive match Monday afternoon in a 46-28 win over Milford Middle School.
The 100 straight wins dates back to the 2001-2002, said head coach Steve Stewart.
"I feel great," Stewart said. "We consistently do the same thing year after year."
Stewart contributes the success of the Smyrna Middle School program to the Smyrna Little Wrestlers program, which Stewart said has been a good feeder for the wrestling team.
The winning streak is the longest winning streak in middle school Henlopen Conference History, Stewart said.
Smyrna previously had the longest undefeated record from the late 1970s through the mid 1980s when the team went 98-0-2.
Up next for the Eagles is a match Thursday, Dec. 15 at Laurel Central Middle School. The match starts at 4 p.m.

Prime Numbers
THE PARTY With yellow poppies decorating the stage, yellow flower centerpieces and yellow poppy cookies at each seat, you could say the AWF's Numbers Too Big To Ignore luncheon was in full bloom! The 81,000 yellow flowers in the ballroom were meant to make a statement: They represented the 81,000 girls who woke up in poverty in the five metro Atlanta counties that morning. The org's mission aims to help those ladies blossom. THE PLAYERS Kelly Dolan, Sal Kibler, Danita Knight, Elizabeth Noe, Ingrid Saunders Jones, Susan L. Taylor THE HIGHLIGHTS While guests munched on chicken and Israeli couscous and tried not to eat the poppy cookie first, Mayor Kasim Reed took to the stage to charm the predominantly female crowd before announcing he was donating $5,000 of his own money to the cause. Prior to keynote speaker Susan L. Taylor, editor emerita of Essence magazine and founder of the National Cares Mentoring Movement taking the stage, guests went wild when Spanx came down the aisles to rousing music handing out special yellow poppy power panties made especially for the event to everyone in the crowd.

ZF-8564: Zend_Service_Amazon_S3::getMimeType() should use strtolower on extension to detect path like moo.JPG
Zend_Service_Amazon_S3::getMimeType() is best effort function anyhow. It's not something reliable so it can at least try to be more forgiving to input.
I belive it should do $ext = strtolower($ext)
Doing that it will successfully consider moo.JPG of type image/jpeg and not binary/octet-stream as is now. Cheers

Although I make a living writing articles, blogs and books about personal finances and work, my first job was selling Avon products door-to-door.
It wasn't easy. I had a pit in my stomach each time I showed up at someone's home. I calmed my nerves, reminding myself that it was only a summer job and that I wasn't planning to have a career as a salesperson.
Why Every Job You've Had Matters
But was my work as an "Avon Lady" just a job? Or was it part of my career path?
What I know now, at 52, is that a career is a lifetime of jobs and that every job you snag is meaningful — if you see it that way.
(MORE: How Women Job Seekers Can Beat Age Discrimination)
That brings me to my advice to you: Every woman, regardless of how many decades she has been working, how much longer she plans to earn income and the job she happens to have at the moment, must be at the controls of her career. That means learning and growing from every job along the way and in the future.
As much as I disliked selling lipstick, moisturizer and bath oil door to door, the experience taught me lessons that I apply directly to my work today. I learned, for example, that there's no harm in asking (a lesson that has helped me squeeze raises from employers). I also learned how to face rejection, something we all confront periodically.
Today, I'm constantly selling myself, my expertise, and yep, my books. (Did I mention that my latest one just came out? It's Great Jobs For Everyone 50+.) Thanks, Avon!
The Career Mistake Too Many Women Make
I'm sorry to say that many women I meet in their 50s and 60s have stagnated career-wise and lost their zeal. When I ask others how things are going now that they've returned to work after raising kids, they shrug and say, "It's a job."
But today's 60-year-old woman might wind up working at least part-time for another 15 years, figures Marc Freedman, author of The Big Shift: Navigating The New Stage Beyond Midlife and founder and chief executive of Encore.org, a nonprofit that promotes second acts for the greater good.
(MORE: Brain Science Shows We're Wired for Reinvention)
"That changes the entire equation about what you want to do, what's possible to do," he says.
I think it's also a pretty good argument for finding ways to expand and embrace your career. (Incidentally, Freedman's group today is honoring five extraordinary women and men over 60, winners of the 2012 Purpose Prize for their extraordinary work as social entrepreneurs.)
Tips From Author Kate White
For smart career advice, I interviewed Kate White, 61, former editor of Cosmopolitan and author of the new book, I Shouldn't Be Telling You This: Success Secrets Every Gutsy Girl Should Know.
Why is it important for a woman who has been working for three or four decades to keep managing her career path?
You must always manage your career and be its relentless architect or it can slip away from you.
It's important to realize that you may be vulnerable at this time. In a tough economy, bosses look at your income and ask if someone younger could do it almost as well, but cheaper.
Make sure you are delivering on a big level, that you don't seem lazy or lax, and that you're always engaged. Ask for promotions. Go for the next big job.
If it's not too big of a risk for you financially, it's also a good time to think about your girlhood dreams while you still have a chance to make them happen. I wrote my first novel in my late 40s.
What should women do to keep their careers on track after 50?
Network, network, network. This is how great opportunities happen.
Also, ask yourself, "When was the last time I made my boss say, 'Wow!'? Just because you're 50, doesn't mean you shouldn't be a "wow-maker" anymore.
(MORE: Why Women Should Join Networking Groups)
What should boomer women do to move their careers forward?
Learn to drain the swamp as you slay the alligators. By that, I mean spend an hour each week thinking not about your day-to-day work, but about your goals. Write them down. It can be fun and freeing.

News item from 2012
HUMANITAS 2012 Visiting Professor in Museums, Galleries and Libraries
As part of Oxford's symposium for the HUMANITAS2012 Visiting Professor in Museums, Galleries and Libraries, take this rare opportunity to listen to:
Dr Christopher Brown & Dr Malcolm Rogers 'In Conversation'
Tuesday 8 May 2012, 4.30 – 6pm
Headley Lecture Theatre
Ashmolean Museum, Beaumont Street, Oxford OX1 2PH
Free Admission, Spaces are limited. Places are allocated by tokens available from the Information Desk from 3pm onwards.
The Humanitas Visiting Professorship in Museums, Galleries & Libraries has been made possible by the generous support of Foster + Partners.
Dr Christopher Brown CBE, Director of the Ashmolean Museum, will be 'In Conversation' with Dr Rogers on Tuesday 8th May in the Ashmolean's Headley Lecture Theatre from 4.30 – 6pm. Dr Rogers and Dr Brown will discuss and compare their experiences of overseeing the extensive renovation of the Ashmolean and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
Malcolm Rogers was educated at Oxford, where he received an MA and a DPhil in English Language and Literature. He served as Deputy Director (from 1983) and Deputy Keeper (from 1985) at the National Portrait Gallery, London, before assuming the role of Ann and Graham Gund Director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA) in September 1994.
Malcolm is one of the most eminent museum directors in the world. Under his leadership, MFA has undertaken a transformative building expansion and renovation, which has increased space for its collection of more than 450,000 objects and enriched the ways in which visitors experience its works of art. This work was supported by a remarkable capital campaign that raised more than $500 million.
Malcolm has hugely expanded the Museum's encyclopedic collection with more than 40,000 acquisitions, and he has worked to display the MFA's riches on the world stage, presenting numerous innovative exhibitions in association with internationally renowned arts institutions. He has presided over the development of the MFA's online collections database, featuring nearly all of the Museum's holdings, which constitutes one of the largest online art museum collections in the world. He has also overseen the organization of nearly 300 exhibitions at the MFA, which have ranged from old masters to photographs, and Egyptian treasures to the artistry of guitar design.
The Museum has welcomed enormous new audiences since Malcolm first became its Director. Its extensive arts education programme has been enhanced, and admission fees for children 17 and younger have been abolished; its hours have been extended to become some of the longest of any major museum, and a series of free community days has been instituted. Approximately one million visitors each year now explore the infinite possibilities for education and inspiration at MFA.
An authority on sixteenth, seventeenth, and early eighteenth century portraits, Malcolm has written extensively on Van Dyck's English period as well as on photography and on London and its museums. Among his numerous honours are a CBE (2003), Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres (2007), Commendatore al Merito della Repubblica Italiana (2009), Encomienda de la Orden de Isabel la Católica (2010), and Membership of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2011).
HUMANITAS is a series of Visiting Professorships at Oxford and Cambridge. Created by Lord Weidenfeld the Programme is managed and funded by the Institute for Strategic Dialogue with the support of a series of generous benefactors in collaboration with the Humanities Division of the University of Oxford.

Selfie Campaign Protests Jailing of Journalists in Egypt
To protest the arrest and imprisonment of members of the Al Jazeera English staff in Cairo, journalists around the world are carrying out a social media campaign that asks: What if all journalists were muzzled? As part of the protest, journalists are posting self-portraits on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook showing themselves with their mouths gagged and taped. Some hold signs demanding the release of the Al Jazeera journalists. They're posting the images with the hashtag #FreeAJstaff.
On December 29, Egyptian authorities raided the Cairo office of Al Jazeera and arrested four employees. Last week, the government announced it was charging 20 journalists affiliated with the network, including five foreigners, with inciting terrorism and being agents of the Muslim Brotherhood, the ruling party that was ousted from power by the Egyptian military in July. Journalists have been repeatedly attacked since the military took power, according to human rights and press freedom groups.
The Committee to Protect Journalists, other human rights organizations and press freedom groups have called for the immediate dismissal of the charges.
Today CNN International Correspondent Christian Amanpour held a #FreeAJStaff sign on the air. Journalists in Nairobi have staged a protest outside the Egyptian embassy to demand the release of imprisoned Al Jazeera staffers. Among those who have been detained since December is the Nairobi-based, Australian-born journalist Peter Greste, the East Africa correspondent for Al Jazeera.

desmopressin 0.1 mg/ml spray - nasal (refrigerate), DDAVP
GENERIC NAME: DESMOPRESSIN 0.1 MG/ML SPRAY - NASAL (REFRIGERATE) (dess-mow-PRESS-in)
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: Desmopressin is used to control the amount of urine your kidneys make. Normally, the amount of urine you make is controlled by a certain substance in the body called vasopressin. In people who have "water diabetes" (diabetes insipidus) or certain kinds of head injury or brain surgery, the body does not make enough vasopressin. Desmopressin is a man-made form of vasopressin and is used to replace a low level of vasopressin. This medication helps to control increased thirst and too much urination due to these conditions, and helps prevent dehydration.Desmopressin products applied in the nose are no longer indicated to control nighttime bedwetting in children because of the increased risk of developing a serious side effect (a low level of sodium in the blood).

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Yard & Garden Planning
May's Flower: Bearded Iris (page 2 of 4)
by National Gardening Association Editors
Where and How to Plant Bearded Iris
Container-grown iris are less susceptible to transplant stress.
These flowers' popularity is explained in part by their being widely adaptable and easy to grow throughout most of North America. The only exception is the humid subtropics. For instance, they're fine from Bangor, Maine, to San Diego, California, but not in Houston, New Orleans, Miami, or Savannah. However, they do grow well a little farther north in the southeast (Shreveport, Birmingham, and Atlanta). Generally, iris grow in USDA Hardiness Zones 3 through 10 in the dry-summer West and in 3 through 8 in the rainy-summer East.
Most iris need at least 6 hours of full sun, and good drainage. In deeply cultivated, rich soil, they respond with superior growth and flowers. A soil pH near neutral is best. Sand or clay soils are okay, but you need to pay more attention to drainage in heavy clay soils. If water in your garden pools for more than half an hour after a rain, plant in raised beds or mounds.
In cool maritime regions like Seattle and Boston, day-long full sun is required, but in hot regions, such as Phoenix or Dallas, locate plants so they receive afternoon shade.
Set out plants anytime between midsummer and a month or so before first frost: July to October in most regions, July and August in coldest climates, and September and October in hottest climates. You have somewhat more latitude in transplanting container-grown iris as they suffer less stress in the process.
Whether you buy plants by mail or are the beneficiary of a generous neighbor, what you put into the ground looks the same: a 1/2-inch-thick, 2- to 3-inch-long fleshy rhizome with short, spaghetti-like roots spreading from its sides, and a short fan of leaves at one end. The rhizomes are tough enough to stay out of the ground for a week or two without serious harm, but the sooner they are planted, the better.
Amend the soil with generous amounts of compost or peat moss, and add 2 pounds of 5-10-10 fertilizer for every 100 square feet of garden. If your soil tends to be acidic, add ground dolomitic limestone to raise the pH to nearly neutral. (Use a soil test to determine your soil's pH and the type and amounts of amendments necessary.)
Space rhizomes 1 to 2 feet apart, or closer for a more immediate effect and for dwarf varieties. However, close planting usually means sooner replanting. Set each plant in a shallow hole large enough to accommodate the division and the attached fibrous roots. Because new plants will emerge from the fan end and sides of the rhizome, orient the leaf end in the direction you want to growth to take.
If you're planting several iris of the same variety, arrange them in drifts with the fans all pointing in the same direction, or plant in a circular clump with fans pointing outward.
Cover the rhizomes with only 1/2 inch of soil. Depth of planting is particularly important in heavy clay soils where drainage may be impeded. Water to settle the soil and start growth, then water sparingly until new growth indicates that roots are growing.
Plants need regular water throughout the growing season, but especially until six weeks after flowers fade. It's during this period that the next season's growth is initiated. Established clumps are drought tolerant and don't need water except in areas where there's little rainfall.
Lightly mulching new plantings is important. It prevents sunburn in the hottest regions. In the coldest regions, it prevents freezing and thawing of soil, which can kill the shallow-rooted plants.

What character on the Poke'mon show should go away forever and never return? My opinion-May.
What character on the Poke'mon show should go away forever and never return? My opinion-May.
^Made By EarthDragon! Thank-you!^
I Hate You, You Hate Me... ~<3
May leaves when ash goes to shinoh
Pikachu should leave. I never liked Pikachu. Ash never paid attention to any of his pokemon except Pikachu, and that always made me so mad because he had some pretty cool Pokemon. But nooooo, Pikachu was his favorite and so he just gave away the rest of his Pokemon. Ash is such a friggin idiot.
Squirtle was way cooler than Pikachu.
I always liked Charmander. But then he turned into Charmeleon, and Charmeleon was a douche.
Basically, I liked Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, and Muk. Muk was the most amazing creature to grace that show.
I think Pikachu should become Raichu, that would make the show much better.
Pairs: MPT, Panda Rocker, MEX, SuikunMyuu, Zapdos, CL, Link, Revan, DSX, Kelsh, and Goku!
Yes, but we all know that he should be replace altogether, right? Right?
No, cuz Raichu owns! ^__^
Pairs: MPT, Panda Rocker, MEX, SuikunMyuu, Zapdos, CL, Link, Revan, DSX, Kelsh, and Goku!
I think Ash should leave he never learns any thing!
pairs:signal Flare,Flyingfeebas349,thebryman27
i think brock should leave he has been their for the longest and any way ash is the main character
Okay, first off, Raichu is damned awesome, but Pikachu is a real crapbag, at best powerful enough to knock a bush down.
Squirtle was really hot with his shades but as always Ash didn't make it evolve. I would've liked a Wartortle with shades...
Charmander. I liked it, but Charmeleon or Charizard, no. "OH BUT Y DONT U LYK DEM DEYR SUM OF DA MOR FANBOI'D POKAYMON EVAR!!!!!!!!!!!" Oh, please. I hate them, they look so pretentious.
Bulbasaur! I wonder why I don't like it that much, after all, it's so cute and cuddly <3 Plus its evos, Ivysaur mostly, looks way cooler than a Wartortle with glasses. If I wonder correctly, Ash left it when it evolved, right? >_>
Ash- the stupidest of all the douchebags I've noticed in animés. A Pikmin is 100x smarter than him. He ASKS his Pikachu if he wants to evolve, instead of stuffing the Thunderstone down its throat (and therefore having it die =D). He also annoys me to hell, always going "im gong 2 cutch m all lollllllllloooooooollllllolololol.;.lkoloplolool". Plus his brain is probably Ketchup, according to his dumb name.
May and Misty - I never had anything agaisnt them. At all times I've seen them, they never acted like total asstards like the one Ash is. Period.
Brock is asian, and he cooks...
Hikari should never leave. NEVER. EVER. <3
...if she passes in the face of Agunomuu without catching it, okay, she can leave.
Mays voice actor should leave or some one should kill!!! :}
pairs:signal Flare,Flyingfeebas349,thebryman27
May should really get a grip..... seriously.... she is just a big winey baby! may- definatly....
My opinian, May should leave and Misty should come back. ^_^
I HATED MISTY She was such a little slut with her pigtail and short shorts and stupid overalls and her stupid "Ash! You still have to repay me for my biiiiiiiiiiiiiiike!" And she was so mean to Caterpie...
Lol if Ash leaves then there is no Pokemon!!
fuck. charmeleon was awsome. charizard sucked. in my opinion, may should leave. ever since she came on, pokemon has benn 'may'. all her dumb contests. it doesnt even follow the manga. she was the opposite in there. max should go with her.
they should have a drawing where someone gets drawn and is on pokemon with thier pokemonof choice.
Brock & Max should leave. May stays, Misty returns and that Hikari chick joins. Ash hits puberty. Hilarity ensues.
I have sPoken.
Team Rocket shall leave. I'm geting tired of seeing Jesse and James's ugly face on every episode,I prefer Cassidy and Butch cause when you miss pronounce Butch's name he'll start to yell.LOL.
I don't think Team Rocket should leave. They should just appear every 10-15 episodes and actually manage to pull off some of their jobs every once in a while. But Drew should be killed off in a horrifying 10 minute long sequence that consistently gets worse.
Drew is a cool psuedo intellectual and a groovy person. He pwns. Brock stays, because everyone knows he's never leaving. I mean, 5 seasons together? He's most likely going to end up analing Ash and forgetting all of his affections for nurse joy and officer jenny.
Misty should visit at times, not return, just visit. She was okay to me.

EMC and VMware Cloud & Virtualization
Build Higher-Value Virtualization and Cloud Solutions
EMC and VMware have a joint vision to deliver innovative solutions and services enabling businesses and service providers to build a Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC), transform their operations and deliver IT-as-a-Service (ITaaS). Fundamental to this transformation is virtualization and cloud computing, delivering maximum IT efficiency and agility. As the #1 choice in virtualized environments, our customers benefit from our strong commitment to VMware and the powerful solutions that simplify management, improve data protection and increase performance while providing security of the IT environment. By helping IT store, manage, protect and analyze their most valuable asset – information – in a more agile, trusted and cost-efficient way, customers gain efficiencies which offer breakthrough business value.
The VxRail Appliance is a hyper converged infrastructure appliance, jointly developed by EMC/VCE and VMware. It combines VMware's hyper-converged software with extended lifecycle management, a configurable hardware platform, extended data services, and unified support from EMC to provide a turnkey, scalable appliance that is ideal for deployment hyper-converged infrastructure.
The VxRail Appliance provides a simple, cost-effective hyper-converged solution for a wide variety of applications and workloads. With the VxRail Appliance, IT organizations can start small and easily scale capacity and performance by non-disruptively adding appliances to the cluster without the investment or up-front planning required with traditional infrastructure. The VxRail Appliance seamlessly integrates into customers' existing VMware data centers, workflows, and tools.
Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC)
EMC and VMware share a joint vision to deliver an SDDC architecture that abstracts, pools, automates and manages all IT resources in an automated and software-defined manner. The orchestration of data center services is automated with VMware vCloud Suite across all software-defined components: compute, storage, and network. Our approach combines the leader in software-defined storage with the leader in virtualization and cloud computing. EMC ViPR, the leading software-defined storage product, is an extensible software platform that abstracts storage with all its unique capabilities, from physical arrays into a single pool of virtual storage. Storage administrators then create virtual storage arrays that they can manage at the virtual layer according to automated policies. Data services, such as block, file, and object data services, run on top of the platform and leverage the unique attributes of the virtual storage pools and arrays. EMC Software-Defined Storage provides specific VMware integrations with interfaces into the VMware vStorage APIs (VAAI, VASA, VADP) across the EMC storage portfolio ( VMAX Family, VNX Series, Isilon, XtremIO, Data Domain, Avamar). EMC ViPR will integrate with VMware vRealize Automation and vRealize Operations to automate provisioning and improve performance, capacity and configuration management across the applications, servers, networks and storage environments.
Cloud Infrastructure
Together, EMC and VMware technologies accelerate the transformation of your data center to a cloud computing platform and run ITaaS. EMC and VMware offer three paths to your cloud infrastructure: build your own with best-of-breed components, EMC VSPEX, and VCE Vblock.Building your own cloud offers unmatched flexibility, but requires a significant amount of expertise, overhead and time to deploy and manage. EMC VSPEX is a proven reference architecture offering choice to customers. Because it is validated to work, it takes cycles out of design, testing, and deployment. Finally, VCE Vblock converged infrastructure, a collaboration between EMC, VMware, and Cisco, is a pre-integrated, pre-engineered system that offers simplicity though a single point of management and single point of support and offers the fastest time to deployment.

ZF-2012: Validate type of set objects
Whenever a method requires a specific data model element type to be set in the call, the type should be enforced.
For instance, calling $entry->setTitle requires that a Zend_Gdata_App_Extension_Title be used. However, if you set a simple string, everything works with the set, but when saveXML or getDOM gets called, it's difficult to determine what failed-- because something like 'Call to a member function getDOM() on a non-object ...*' is thrown.

Rated 4.4 out of 5 by 7 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by ANNEQH Very old hollywood This is a beautiful screen. I found it to be very sturdy, but I have hardwood floors - don't know how it would do on carpet. Looks like something out a 1930s movie. Love the rivets. January 14, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by PickyPam Great Purchase I have been wanting this Hara Screen for months now and finally pulled the trigger. It was on some sale, but not the biggest sale and I am still very pleased with my purchase. It's nice looking and easy to put up. Meaning all you have to do is get it out of the box and stand it up - it's that easy! It was great for me as I have to sleep with my bedroom door ajar for my cat and we had company over the holidays. It added a feeling of privacy that I really wanted. And it helps block out the sun that blasts though the window just outside the bedroom! Thanks World Market for helping me solve this problem!!! January 3, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by rbsmith item was "as advertised" We were pleased with this screen in terms of it's quality. It is "as described and pictured" on your website. January 2, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by luluchicago Great multi-use screen! I saw this screen separated and used as pin boards, so I decided to order it and give it a try. It is adorable in this use. While a little expensive given how light it is, I think it's decently priced for the size. The nailheads and linen fabric go well with many decor styles. Super fast shipping and well packed by World Market. October 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Organizing Guru Absolutely Stunning Looking for a nice, affordable room divider for a loft and stumbled upon this one. I was shocked at how reasonably priced it was for the look and quality. I wouldn't recommend it in a room with children as it could possibly tip over and the light fabric could attract dirty little fingerprints. Can be used in any setting whether it be masculine or feminine. Really quite a lovely, substantial screen for the price. April 28, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by jennylott nice screen, but overpriced The screen looks nice, and the fabric and grommets match the chairs we bought from World Market nicely. I bought it to cover up my ugly under the stairs storage area, and it is doing the job nicely. My only complaint is that it's a bit expensive for a simple screen. February 27, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by southernbelle5 Unbalanced I bought this and lugged it home in my small car only to find that it is unbalanced and doesn't stand folded like in the picture. I had to fold it into a box -like shape and it was awkward and wobbly. Promptly lugged it back to the store. The fabric was lovely though. June 16, 2014

About 3 months ago, we had the pleasure of bringing you the first installment of The Boombox Series, in which Giant Step and Arcade 44 find bold emerging artists willing to throw themselves out there, supported only by a boombox. But before we could even share this experience, our unknown artist – Jessie J – exploded into everyone's favorite new pop star. Her highly-anticipated album Who You Are comes out next week, April 12th.
This isn't quite volume two of The Boombox Series, but rather an extra from our first set. That day in the subway, Jessie sang "Who You Are," captured in the first video, but she also started in on her duet with B.o.B., "Price Tag." [Official Video]

Gardening Articles: Health :: Houseplants
The Facts of Light (page 3 of 3)
by Michael MacCaskey
Light intensity
It stands to reason that brighter lights deliver more energy to plants than less bright ones. But while most fluorescent lights appear to be about equally bright, here again careful measurements reveal many differences.
For gardeners, the most basic and generally most useful measurement of light intensity is a simple calculation of watts of fluorescent light per square foot.
Experiments and tests have demonstrated that most vegetables and flowering plants need 25 to 30 fluorescent light watts per square foot. Houseplants and seedlings do well with 15 to 20 watts, and germinating seeds need the least 10 to 15 watts per square foot.
A standard 4-foot-long 40-watt fluorescent tube provides 10 lamp watts per square foot. Two 40-watt tubes 6 inches apart supply double that amount.
From this standpoint, the most important choice about intensity is how many tubes your fixture supports. Assuming that most fixtures are about a foot wide or slightly wider, the intensity of light from one that holds four tubes (40 lamp watts per square foot) will be double one that holds two tubes (20 lamp watts).
The light intensity of fluorescent tubes is also measured and rated on another standardized scale called lumens. In short, lumens are a measure of the brightness of the emitted light. When it comes to growing plants, brighter--more lumens--is better.
You can measure the amount of light yourself by using various kinds of meters. Meters made for gardeners measure light directly in footcandles. Footcandles are a measure of the light that is reflected from a surface 1 foot away. One footcandle equals 1 lumen per square foot.
You can also use the light meter in your automatic camera: set the film speed to 100 and the shutter speed to f4. Place a matt white card where the plants will be. With the lens focused on the card only, note the shutter speed. If it indicates 1/250, you have about 250 footcandles, 1/500 equals about 500 footcandles, and so on.
The light that fluorescent tubes produce diminishes rapidly over distance. For instance, 6 inches below two 40-watt cool white tubes, light intensity is about 700 footcandles.
African violets grow well given 600 footcandles for 18 hours a day, so tubes 6 inches above them are just right. Seedlings grow best with higher light intensity, so lights should be 2 to 3 inches above them, close enough to deliver about 1,000 footcandles to the leaves. With insufficient light, they will stretch out and perhaps topple. Leave the lights on for 14 to 16 hours a day. A similar schedule works best for most plants.
Disposal of used tubes
Fluorescent tubes contain mercury, which the EPA classes as a hazardous material. However, current EPA regulations neither list nor exclude the tubes themselves as hazardous waste. It is considered safe to dispose of fluorescent tubes in any municipal solid waste landfill. Fluorescent lamp ballasts made before 1979 likely contain PCBs, a family of chemicals widely used until they were banned in the late 1970s. Unless the ballast is specifically labeled "no PCBs," you should assume it does contain them and only dispose of it at approved recycling centers.

From the outset, Martha Reeves' voice possessed an earthy, direct quality that distinguished her from other female singers - such as sultry Mary Wells or demure Diana Ross - at Motown. Her voice bore the righteous fervor of gospel and the flinty edginess of rhythm & blues, which, combined with Motown's stylized pop-soul approach, made for a compelling package. Together with her backup singers, the Vandellas, Reeves recorded a classic run of singles in the mid-Sixties, most of them composed by the songwriting team of Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier and Eddie Holland. The Vandellas' hit streak included what may be the definitive Motown anthem, "Dancing in the Street," as well as such danceable blockbusters as "(Love Is Like a) Heat Wave," "Nowhere to Run" and "Jimmy Mack."
The eldest of eleven children, Reeves began singing with the Del-Phis in 1960. She was discovered in 1961 at Detroit's fabled Twenty Grand Club, where Motown A&R man Mickey Stevenson heard her perform – Reeves' prize for having won a talent contest. She was invited to drop by the Motown "Hitsville" compound the next day. Initially, she did secretarial work in the A&R department and sang background vocals on records by the likes of Marvin Gaye (most audibly on "Pride and Joy" and "Hitchhike"). However, Motown founder Berry Gordy soon offered Reeves' group a recording contract of their own. The Vandellas – named by combining Detroit's Van Dyke Street with the first name of a favorite singer, Della Reese - were Rosalind Ashford and Annette Beard (later Sterling), who'd also been in the Del-Phis. Betty Kelly replaced Sterling in 1964, and Lois Reeves (Martha's younger sister) replaced Kelly in 1967.
The trio had their first hit with Holland-Dozier-Holland's "Come and Get These Memories," but it was the irresistibly upbeat "Heat Wave" that made Martha and the Vandellas one of Motown's vanguard acts in the summer of 1963. Another summertime anthem, "Dancing in the Street" – cowritten by Mickey Stevenson, Marvin Gaye and Ivy Joe Hunter – arrived in 1964, charging to #2 in the midst of the British Invasion. Reeves' insistent alto cut through the punchy horns, driving bass line and funky rhythms to deliver a timeless message to the youth of America: "Summer's here and the time is right for dancing in the street." The song's anthemic qualities have much to do with its call for youthful solidarity, with "music, sweet music" bringing a generation together. The song has acquired folkloric status, having been covered by the Grateful Dead, Van Halen, David Bowie and Mick Jagger, and others.
Martha and the Vandellas recorded throughout the Sixties for Motown's Gordy label, charting 24 R&B hits, and became one of the company's most successful touring acts. As female artists at Motown, they were outshone only by Diana Ross and the Supremes, with whom they competed for resources and attention. When the company moved west in 1971, Martha and the Vandellas parted ways with Motown. They performed a farewell concert in Detroit, and Reeves embarked on a solo career with the big-budget album Martha Reeves in 1974. Martha and the Vandellas regrouped toward the end of the Seventies, and the group received a boost when the Motown 25th anniversary TV special aired in 1983. Martha and the Vandellas continue to perform, enduring as one of the most visible reminders of Motown's glory days.

The 20-year-old Schlopy and 21-year-old Christensen are Park City natives and both attended the Winter Sports School in Park City.
Each skier performed two jumps during the slopestyle event, with the best overall score counting in the medal standings.
Schlopy scored a 92 on his second jump, besting his score of 91 in his first try, while Christensen rebounded from a 36.3 in his first jump to score 90.6 in his final attempt.
Gus Kenworthy, a 21-year-old from Telluride, Colo., took home the gold medal by scoring a 93 on his second jump.
Christensen said the weather conditions affected his decisions about what tricks to use.
"I was going to go backwards and do a switch jump," he said. "But I ended up going forward because (the slope) was so slow."
The change of plans meant he didn't expect to finish on the podium.
"I just wanted to land at least one of my two jumps," he said. "I'm excited I ended up third. I couldn't be happier."
He added that he didn't get his hopes up for Wednesday, so the podium was extra sweet.
"I didn't really expect much coming into today," he said. "I didn't know if we were going to even be doing it or not because of the weather.
The story was quite different for Schlopy, who abandoned his conservative plans when he saw what other competitors were attempting.
"I actually did harder stuff than I was planning on doing," he said. "Once you're in a competition, you tend to push yourself more. I just had to be careful with the wind."
Both competitors said they were happy to spend some time at home after the X Games.
"I haven't done many contests here in Park City," Christensen said. "It's really nice to be at home and sleep in my own bed."
Schlopy said he'll recuperate at home this week before heading to Sochi for an Olympic preview event next week. He added that traveling to places like Russia is one of the best things about the sport.
"You're doing something you love and you're able to travel around," he said. "There's nothing wrong with that."

I earned 11 credits towards graduation this year!
So in other words, you needlessly overworked yourself?
* Assuming the average minimum graduation credits is 24 or 25, and 6 or 7 being the average per year.
Unless you did dual credit classes, which then it would make more sense.
I earned 26 credits in one year that way.
Please explain for the non-Americans here.

im american and i dont understand
Dual credit is where you get both high school and college credit while taking a class. Normally, you would just get the high school credit, but you can register for college credit typically through local community colleges.
i dont understand why people limit their potential so much and why it is encouraged by so many others. from what ive seen, it seems more prominent in western society, more specifically american. people settle for everything. they settle for getting average or below average grades. they settle for going to a shitty university. they settle for terrible jobs based solely on pay scale which isnt often that high. and when they finally get married and have kids, they settle for their children aiming for even less than they did. but most bafflingly these people chide anyone who strives to achieve more saying its 'needless' they should settle like the rest of them.
why cant someone who is obviously intelligent like justin work hard and find opportunities to become a culinary foreman is thats what he seeks to be? why cant lord sincerely work towards his dream of becoming a doctor instead of bragging about his social life to his online friends? why cant dogar actually strive to become respectable or a pioneer in the field of history instead of calling himself a 'historian' because he did undergrad at a shitty college and is going to spend the rest of his life teaching teenagers at a public school because of the mildly less shitty pay and job security? why cant kelsh go to college, take up something that isnt as retarded as creative writing and do something productive for society instead of bouncing between jobs and spending all her money on booze and cons? why cant qoorl work a bit harder for a couple of years to make ends meet while getting a degree so he can ensure a good life for his wife and kid? id say something about god too but i think he realises that fucking up school wasnt the best path to take.
im probably least privileged to say anything like this because im well-off and dont have as many problems as many of you do but fuck yall someone has to. theres no point in molding yourself into the lowest common denominator in society because you convinced yourself youre alright with it when each of you could do something awesome with your lives. all thats needed is really a spark and a push because once you start turning your life around youll end up some where youd never have dreamed of.
i feel its a problem with american culture in general. people are born into mediocre households with mediocre parents who make their kids believe that being mediocre their entire lives is perfectly fine and, in fact, their calling. contrast this to asian societies, both east and south asian, where people are most often born into the bottom of the barrel but face themselves surrounded by people who dream big. they find their environment competitive and conducive to hard work and eventually ride up the slope, breaking barriers and reaching heights that no one in their community have done. they dont settle for anything; they aim for the very top. its a small wonder that the world is being taken over by asians.
i completely agree with all of rayne's 2nd paragraph. except theres nothing wrong with what dogars doing, he actually wants to be a high school history teacher. nothing wrong with that.
rayne is completely right that there is a culture of mediocrity among the working class of the us. i may make a bigger post about that later.
You didn't get the point, Kirbx.
Rayne, I agree completely.

* dragon_berry**Fallen_Wings*
the issue in terms of rayne's noting how many people just settle rather than trying to better themselves is that in this context the means towards bettering themselves lie through the education system. which is about as institutional as systems get. there is a massive acclimation problem with the lower, working and lower-middle classes.
middle class and above children tend to have very structured lives from an early age. they have lots of scheduled activities, scheduled day to day lives, and activities hoisted on them specifically aimed at intellectual/cultural enrichment. the transition to the formal education system is seamless, the system makes sense to them socially. working class etc children have very free-formed childhoods without much of a schedule and without any activities hoisted on them specifically to foster some sorts of development. the educational system makes no sense to them at all. it's a problem from day one and the system really does nothing to smooth it over(in fact it actively makes it worse).
so really the only way a person is going to succeed in the education system is if it makes sense to them socially or if they happen to pick up a love for learning for its own sake. which will happen to a very small percentage of the population. even if you look at very successful students from more well-to-do households their studying style will often rely quite heavily on route learning and mnemonics etc. so its hard to say they REALLY give a shit about what they're learning they're just socialized to try to do well. people who did not pick up those values will have a very hard time trying to find a way to fit in to the system.
although i do agree at a certain point they need to be told to get off their ass and just do it so they can get the fucking degree and have a decent life, from their perspective it cant be that easy.
this could be an interesting discussion so im moving it to misc
it's baffling really how people seem to shun effort. even though i do everything at the last minute, i put in a lot of work into every project that i do and i'm not afraid to take the most difficult path. i'm not even doing that to get excellent grades, i already get them without studying - i actually picked the toughest math program for next year to get me used to studying for post-secondary education, even though the second program is virtually the same in terms of further opportunities. whenever i have to write a paper or other related stuff i do my best -- except in phys ed because frankly i shouldn't be writing papers in phys ed. however it seems that when you're a person who feels self-gratification based on academical success, or that you seem to value doing stuff properly, you are automatically labeled a nerd.
It does suck to see those who don't understand or are just incompatible with the school system drop out or fuck off during classes or smoke pot enough to get them expelled. And in spite of the progress being made with Disney movies or whatever, those who don't at least pretend to not give a shit about school tend to get thrown to a lower social rung unless they're jocks or charismatic or something. While in university this attitude changes, by that point it's too late because you fucked up in high-school and you'll probably end up going to some community college or becoming a plumber.
I think it really depends on how a person grows up, and their environment that helps dictate their drive for success in both school and life. For example, my older sister and brother weren't really given a drive by my parents to do anything; my sister participated a bit in our school's track and field program and she was spectacular, but eventually she just gave up because she had bad asthma. When it came to be my turn, my dad pushed and drove me to better myself for the program, and a lot of my coaches knew my sister and expected big things. I was constantly driven to be the best, even if it wasn't what I wanted to do for the next 6-7 years of my life, and my grades had to be top score or I would be kicked off the team.
Eventually, I decided to make decisions about my life for me, and I dropped out of the program and tried to figure out where I was going. For the last two years in High School, I had no idea what the hell I was going to do with myself, because I knew that I would never be able to afford college, my father would never pay for me to go (he expected me to drop out of school and turn out like my sister, pregnant at 16), and there was no other money. When that recruiter called me, I decided that because I had no other options I would just enlist. I would have my education paid for, and I wouldn't end up working my whole damn life being paid minimum wage like my mother.
It was her, my determination to prove my father wrong, and the drive to be the first of my siblings to do something with my life that made me refuse to settle for what was in front of me. I absolutely refuse. I know I'm better than that, and everyday I strive to make my mother proud. She doesn't encourage mediocrity, she wants me to have better than what she had and has. When my time expires in the military, I'm going to work my ass off to get accepted into CSU's Animal Genetics program, and I'm going to find a job that will help me in taking my mother off her working feet permanently.
For all you that complain about not going somewhere, get off your lazy rear end and do something about it! There really is no reason for being satisfied with a sloth-like life, skimming through with barely any effort. If my dirt poor ass can make something of myself with minamal support, then there is no reason you can't either. Just use the resources around you smartly.

Wildlife officer holds cutthroat trout taken from traps at Strawberry Reservoir.
Rainbows are keepers. So are some cutthroat. Others aren't. It all comes down to the ruler. Otherwise, when it comes to cutthroat trout in Strawberry Reservoir size matters.
Which is why the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources planted more than half a million "larger" cutthroat trout last month. Smaller fish, the agency found, were being eaten, often by their own kind.
By planting larger fish, not withstanding attacks by pelicans, there will very likely be better fishing at Utah's favorite fishing hole in the years to come.
And it's not a bad idea to take the trip to Strawberry for the fourth and start your day with fishing before you see any fireworks.
All total, there will be roughly 1.7 million new residents in the reservoir this year, which is located 23 miles southeast of Heber.
This will include the 500,000 eight-inch cutthroat, already planted, 500,000 eight-inch rainbow, scheduled for introduction this fall, 400,000 kokanee salmon and 300,000 smaller cutts to be planted in the reservoir's tributaries in the fall.
All this will benefit what is already a reservoir "in good shape.''
The division recently completed a gillnet survey, which is a good measure of the overall condition of the reservoir .
The results, says Alan Ward, Strawberry project leader for the DWR, are:
- Rainbow numbers are good.
- Cutthroat numbers are a little lower than expected.
- There are a few more younger chubs, which is a concern.
- There was no sign of illegally introduced fish.
Monitoring is done in two phases' gillnet checks and spawn surveys.
Cutthroats spawn in May. To reach spawning beds they swim up rivers. The DWR has set up a checking station on the Strawberry River. Fish swim into traps where they are caught, weighed, measured and released to swim upriver to spawn.
"Some years we will also take eggs if we aren't able to collect enough from our brood stock. This year we didn't need to take eggs,'' notes Ward.
"The fish we release will spawn naturally, which we like to see because it ultimately puts more fish in the reservoir. On average, over the past 20 years, we've seen about 35 percent success with the natural spawn. It varies, though. Some years it may be as high as 60 percent and some years as low as 5 to10 percent.''
Because of the poor winter it will be difficult for fish to spawn this year. The low runoff has resulted in some tributaries having little or no water.
The other part of the monitoring system involves the setting of gillnets at various points around the reservoir. The nets are set in the afternoon and retrieved in the morning. Fish caught in the nets give biologists an idea as to the number of fish in the reservoir, populations of the various species, growth, chub numbers and the possibility that someone may have introduced an unwanted species in the reservoir. There are certain species of fish that if introduced could destroy sport fishing at the reservoir.
"We did not find any big surprises (with respect to illegal introductions), which is always good news. It's something we always worry about. Overall, things looked good. Rainbow numbers looked really good. We're seeing lots of rainbow in multiple year classes, which is very encouraging. These fish are available to anglers. The largest rainbow in the nets weighed more than four pounds,'' he says. Some cutthroats recently caught have weighed upwards of 8 pounds.
This is one of the large cutthroat trout pulled from the traps and then released in the river.
One reason for the larger fish is the decision to plant eight-inch fish, which are less likely to be eaten by larger fish. Another reason is planted fish are taken out in barges and released in deeper water where they are not as vulnerable.
Ward expects that by the end of summer the cutthroats planted will be up to 12 inches, "and by next year, they could be up around 15 to 16 inches."
Special regulations at Strawberry allow anglers to keep rainbow, but must release all cutthroat between 15 and 22 inches. The limit is four trout or kokanee, but no more than two cutthroat—one under 15 inches and one over 22 inches.
Alan Ward, Strawberry project leader, prepares to weigh and measure fish taken from the traps.

Time to Resist REAL ID
March 19th, 2012 9:12 pm | by Mike Miller | Published in Activism, Big Government, Civil Liberties, Constitution, DownsizeDC.org, law, Liberty, Politics, REAL ID | 1
Today . . .
The "Repeal the REAL ID Act" is DownsizeDC.org's oldest active campaign.
It is also one of our most successful. Public outrage from the Left, Right, and Middle has persuaded many state legislatures to refuse to implement it. The Obama Administration, which to its credit doesn't like this Bush-era law, keeps issuing waivers and deadline extensions on the states.
But REAL ID's author, James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), is holding hearings this week, no doubt to try to build pressure on the Obama Administration to enforce this unconstitutional law.
That's why it is important to raise our voices today. Tell Congress to repeal the REAL ID Act and replace it with nothing.

Panache Fleece Shorts
Submitted by David on
If you haven't tried a pair of thermal bike shorts you are missing out. I have been using Panache Fleece Bib Shorts for a couple weeks now and they are my go to shorts when the temperature dips below 55F. I do a lot of my riding early in the morning so these have been getting a lot of ride time.
The fleece lined shorts keep your legs extra warm. If the temps dip lower, add a pair of leg warmers and you will be very comfortable.
Here are some technical specifications from the Panache web site:
- FABRIC: 220 weight Roubiax fleece. Durable, long-wearing nylon under the chamois, compression Power Lycra on the printed panels for good looks and muscular support. Breathable, wicking poly elsewhere to regulate temps.
- CONSTRUCITON: Nine panels let us put the right material in the right place. Absolutely no cross-seam in the chamois, making the most comfortable contact point possible.
- CHAMOIS: High density open-cell all-way stretch foam padding with two layer X-TRACT fabric against the skin. Ultra fast drying with great breathability.
- COMPRESSION: Studies show supported, stable muscles last longer. Rest up for the bunch kick.
- STITCHING: Flatlock seams - smoother, stronger seams mean smoother, stronger riding.
- TAGLESS: No tags, no chafing, no problem.
- GRIPPER: Long-lasting, no-crack silicone for durability.
- GRAPHICS: Digital printing means vibrant, crisp, accurate graphics. Your team designs won't run or bleed, giving them more pop than you've ever seen.
- FIT: Performance fit.
You want a pair? You can buy them online.

I was thinking the same thing on knickers! If I need fleece in my shorts, it goes without saying that I need knee warmers too so why not just make a knicker? Descente used to make fleece-lined shorts but pretty sure they dropped em b/c of the aforementioned reason and for the price, it made more sense to just buy a knicker.

Finding and using alternate sources of energy may be the number one problem looking for a solution in the next decade. Goal Zero takes a step in the right direction.
Goal Zero's portable solar panel is popular for charging personal electronics when you are off the grid. Photo courtesy of Goal Zero.
While working in the Congo with his own humanitarian nonprofit Teaching Individuals and Families Independence through Enterprise or TIFIE, Robert Workman was struck by the lack of reliable power.
Workman returned to Utah to form Goal Zero and devise a portable power source that looked half-bowling pin, half-coffee pot. Funneling solar power to a battery pack, the gadget also had AC and USB ports so was able to power lights and charge cell phones. Suddenly, children could read at night, modern communication was ensured and villagers could charge 25 cents to $1 for a recharge at their seemingly miraculous docking station.
"They'd use that money to go buy corn or goats or whatever they needed," explains Lisa Janssen, Goal Zero's public relations director. "It created a self-sustaining business model within these villages."
Goal Zero, launched in 2009, could have been a purely humanitarian venture. It first provided power packs to developing-world aid efforts organized by the LDS Church. The goal—zero illiteracy, zero poverty and zero hunger—spawned the company name. But Goal Zero's adrenaline-loving executives discovered another, more lucrative, market among the streams of Subarus zipping through Utah's mountains. Between smartphones, tablets, laptops, digital cameras and GPS units, weekend hikers and thrill-seekers lug as many electrical-powered gadgets as tent stakes. And they all need a charge.
"Our main value system is empowering human potential," say James Atkin, the company's director of community marketing, "whether that's in a tent in the Uintas or a wooden hut in the Congo."
So Goal Zero came up with a compact charging combo, easy to stuff into a pack, that is durable and under three pounds. The Sherpa 50 charging kit and Nomad 13 solar panel can charge anything from a headlamp to a laptop in the time it takes for a day hike.
A growing range of devices are tested on Workman's ranch near Morgan. To prove their worth off the grid, Goal Zero products also have supported National Geographic photo shoots from Kyrgyzstan to Antarctica. But plenty of regular recreation lovers—blue-water sailors, river runners and backpacking families—also are buying into portable power. For sale at Cabela's and COSTCO, Goal Zero has taken its Third World product mainstream.
In 2012, Goal Zero earned more than $33 million in revenue, according to Janssen. And Inc. put it at No. 9 among its 500 fastest-growing private companies.
Yet, the trailblazer has not lost track of its humanitarian roots. Last month, Goal Zero launched Share the Sun, a program Atkin says will put the Congo "on steroids." Under Share the Sun, people who buy Goal Zero products earn money to donate to international projects including disaster relief. Goal Zero updates its buyers through pictures and progress reports on social media. "The bigger we get," Atkin adds, "the more we can do to change the world."

Prevent damage to your equipment
Enclosed-trailer storage system
The lubrication rack is a great way to get your tools and equipment off the floor and onto the walls of your trailer to prevent costly knock-around damage and free up valuable floor space. Rack features a hook design that lets you hang it from the walls of your trailer, and is pre-drilled so you can anchor it to the walls, helping distribute the load and prevent constant bouncing. Top rack holds aerosol spray cans while the bottom holds quarts of oil or tools. Racks are constructed from heavy-duty 3/16" steel and are coated with a unique, two-layer, hammered-paint finish that can withstand the toughest job environments. 1-1/4" hook opening. Imported.

This weekend offers a ton to do - and none of it involves holding one's nose like earlier this week - so let's consider the best ways to spend the weekend.
Starting Thursday night, local musicians The Folka Dots play a free show at the Jewish Center at 7 p.m. Thursday night. By now, most of you have read something about this band and this is one of two relatively rare chances this weekend to see the group outdoors - as opposed to bars.
On Friday night, one of my favorite bands in the country returns to Salt Lake City when The Moondoggies headline a gig at Kilby Court. This will be the fourth time through for the Seattle sextet and I'm excited as ever to see them. I maintain they're one of the best-kept secrets in rock music and I'd rather see this group on any given than virtually any other band. Yeah, I'm stoked. Tickets remain on sale at 24tix.com.
Also Thursday, venerable local faves Jerry Joseph and the Jackmormons hit Burt's Tiki Lounge for what should be a racuous good time. Tickets will be available at the door.
The big event Saturday - and really for the whole weekend - is the annual fundraiser show at Library Square, this year featuring 41-year-old indie-rock diva Neko Case. Case, pictured above, has released an armload of albums since the mid-'90s and they're all worth having and hearing. Not only that, but the grassy hillside that the library show takes place one of SLC's best locales to see a concert, but hardly ever gets used. So, enjoy that while you can. Tickets are $30 and remain on sale through First Tracks Entertainment's website. The concert starts at 7:30 p.m. with the Folka Dots opening up.
A more low-key option can be had Saturday night at Kilby Court as Maps & Atlasses bring their top-shelf indie rock in for a 7 p.m. show that will be opened by Hands and The Big Sleep.
Also this weekend, the final showings of Plan-B Theatre Company's "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" take place up at Park City's Egyptian Theatre. This show about a drag queen and rock music has been warmly received by everyone I've encountered who has seen it. Tickets remain available through Plan-B's website.
And finally if you feel like beating the heat Sunday, head for Park City's "Park Silly Sunday Market" and check out SLC's fine country-rockers, Triggers & Slips, who will perform starting at 11 a.m.

In 2000, 21-year-old Lucie Blackman, a vivacious British blonde, sick of being a flight attendant and troubled by debt, headed to Tokyo to take a job as a bar hostess. She'd heard that the work was lucrative and safe: drinking with Japanese businessmen in a hands-off ritual of flirtation and flattery; only egos were stroked. She'd earn bonuses by dining out with the men, then bringing them back to the club for drinks. That was harmless, too—until it wasn't. One night, Blackman headed off with a customer and never returned. It's no spoiler to say she came to a bad end; her death made big news. In People Who Eat Darkness (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), Richard Lloyd Parry, Tokyo bureau chief of the Times of London, examines the case, offering a combination of family drama, police procedural, colliding-cultures ethnography and courtroom cliff-hanger. He's especially deft at illuminating the lives of the victim, her estranged parents and a uniquely kinky killer. Lucid, never lurid, the book zips along like a bullet train, taking us where top-notch true crime ought to: deep into satisfyingly unsettling territory.
