The Hive Winery
Humans have been making wine from everything from elderberries to bananas for centuries. Jay and Lori Yahne left engineering careers to make fruit wine in Layton. Trying to use local fruits—raspberries and currants from Weeks Berries in Paradise, honey from Cox Honeyland in Logan and cherries from the Payson Fruit Growers, they make wines and mead. Alcohol content ranges from 12.5 percent to 16 percent, and bottles sell for $17 to $35. Store and tasting room open Monday through Saturday from 1:30 to 6:30 p.m. 220 W. Jack D Dr., Layton, 801-546-1997, thehivewinery.com
Kiler Grove Winegrowers
Michael Knight grew up in the middle of California wine country, so winemaking was always a part of his life. When he moved to Utah, he got a job as the winemaker for La Caille. "It gave me hands-on experience, and reconnected me with the wine culture," he says. Knight set out to buy wine-growing land in California and found property on the Central Coast, perfect for Rhone varietals. With the grapes coming along, Knight needed a winery but ran into an inpenetrable wall of California red tape. Finally he decided to open his winery in Utah and ship the juice from his California vineyards—an unconventional but economically sound solution. Now, Knight blends and bottles Kiler Grove wines and sells them from a tasting room from 12 to 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday all year long. 53 W. Truman Ave., SLC, 801-746-097, kilergrovewines.com
Spanish Valley Vineyards
Stacy and Cory Dezelsky grow and make wine from cabernet sauvignon, riesling, syrah and gewurtztraminer grapes. "I let the vines grow a full canopy and that shades the grapes so they don't get too hot," Stacy Dezelsky says, noting her cabernet gets a lot of hang time and that she harvests at a slightly lower sugar level than is usual. Spanish Valley's late harvest riesling has achieved notable success. Because of state regulations, Spanish Valley is closed to visitors on Sundays and holidays. (Nearby Castle Creek Winery can remain open because it operates a restaurant.) But during the growing and harvest seasons, the vineyards and winery are open to visitors from 12 to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. 4710 Zimmerman Lane, Moab, 435-259-8134, moab-utah.com/spanishvalleywinery
Castle Creek Winery
Located 14 miles from downtown Moab and up the Colorado River, Castle Creek is everything you would hope for from a Utah winery. Huge red rock cliffs tower over the buildings, which overlook picturesque white water rapids. Originally Arches Winery, the operation was sold, moved to Castle Creek in 1998 and changed its name. Now the winery is sister to Red Cliffs Lodge and produces 8,000 cases using mostly locally grown pinot noir, merlot, cabernet sauvignon, chenin blanc and chardonnay. Daily tours and tastings are available. Milepost 14 Highway 128, Moab, 435-259-3332, castlecreekwinery.com
Stay and play
While Moab's two local wineries are a good day trip for a visit south, don't bank on the Utah wine scene to keep your schedule full. Make the most of your trip to red rock country with mountain biking, river rafting, hikes and scenic drives through neighboring Arches and Canyonlands National Parks and Dead Horse Point State Park. Red Cliffs Lodge (Mile Post 14, Highway 128, Moab, 866-812-2002), home to the Castle Creek Winery, is nestled along the Colorado River and makes for an easy commute to the tasting room and vineyard.

When we look at DJ Shadow's new video for "Border Crossing," we feel like we might have teleported into a psychedelic version of M.A.S.H. The video and track release at an interesting political time for the United States, with an urgent, throbbing focus on immigration.
For those still not up on game, DJ Shadow also released his most recent album a few days ago, The Less You Know, The Better. The album spans an array of moods and genres it seems, including appearances from Tom Vek, Little Dragon, Talib Kweli & Posdnuos.

- 8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 4 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, divided
- 3 egg yolks, beaten
- 2 tablespoons thawed orange juice concentrate
- 2 tablespoons Nutella
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
- 1-1/2 cups whipped topping
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
- 2/3 cup heavy whipping cream, divided

- Bake 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, in top of a double boiler or a metal bowl over simmering water, melt chocolate with sugar and 3 tablespoons coffee, stirring until sugar is dissolved (mixture will be thick). Whisk in egg yolks; cook and stir 4-5 minutes or until mixture reaches 160°.
- Divide mixture among three small bowls. Stir orange juice concentrate into one bowl. Stir Nutella and cream into another; stir remaining coffee into the third bowl. Fold 1/2 cup whipped topping into each. Chill 10 minutes.
- Cut a small hole in the tip of a pastry bag or in a corner of a food-safe plastic bag; insert a very small pastry tip. Transfer one filling to bag. With a metal or wooden skewer, poke a hole through bottom of paper liner. Insert tip through hole; pipe filling into eight cupcakes. Repeat with remaining fillings and cupcakes.
- For ganache, place chocolates in separate small bowls. In a small saucepan, bring cream just to a boil. Pour 1/2 cup cream over bittersweet chocolate; pour remaining cream over white chocolate. Stir mixtures with a whisk until smooth.
- Stir 2 teaspoons corn syrup into bittersweet ganache and 1/2 teaspoon corn syrup into white ganache. Cool bittersweet ganache 10 minutes or until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally. Tint white ganache as desired; refrigerate, covered, until thickened.
- Dip tops of cupcakes in bittersweet ganache. Pipe designs using white or tinted ganache. Refrigerate until set. Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Yield: 2 dozen.
Editor's Note: To fill a cupcake, insert tip of pastry bag into bottom of cupcake; squeeze bag gently to fill. Cupcake will be filled when top expands slightly. See photo

This report provides a global look at circular migration experiences, depicts various governments' attempts at creating circular migration, evaluates the economic costs and benefits of circular migration for sending and receiving countries, identifies components of effective bilateral agreements, and reviews outcomes governments might realistically expect from their circular migration policies.
This brief takes a look at hometown associations (HTAs)—immigrant organizations based on a common hometown—and their often overlooked function as integration intermediaries in their country of destination.
More than half of all the states in the world, countries of immigration as well as emigration, now tolerate some form or element of dual citizenship. This report goes beyond statistical trends to the heart of these changes and how best to think through the policy answers.
This report identifies features of remittances that make them ideal leveraging agents for poverty reduction and migration management agendas, and proposes a four-part international research and policy agenda for maximizing the development impact of international remittances.
This report draws from the existing body of knowledge surrounding circular migration to identify: research gaps, shortcomings of common policy routes, innovative circular migration policies, and critical considerations for policymakers seeking to design and implement positive circular migration schemes.
For an increasing number of scholars, international migration has undergone a transformation particularly in the last decade or so. Although circular migration's impact on development is far from settled, a review of the current literature suggests increasing optimism about its developmental potential.
Previously confined to everyday conversations among migrants and their families, remittances are now on the minds of most governments, members of civil society, the international community, and, to some extent, the private sector. The continued deficiency in our understanding of some of the fundamental aspects of remittances is evident in current literature.
En años recientes, un flujo de estadounidenses que aumenta continuamente se ha estado dirigiendo a América Latina, especialmente para su jubilación. A medida de que la generación del "baby boom" envejece, se espera que ese flujo gane velocidad.

ZF-7941: Allow to instanciate Zend_Tranlate without file/directory
It could be pratical to be able to instanciate a Zend_Translate object without having to specify a filename or directory. For the moment, the first way I find is to pass into parameters a file without content.
Example of use : instanciate Zend_Translate in its own resource plugin (to configure it : type of file, language, ...)., but populate it later, in an other class, which does not matter with Zend_Translate configuration.
Why don't you then also instantiate it in an other class?
To benefit from resource plugin functionalities . This resource plugin does this work and my other class (another resource plugin specific to modular functionalities) add translation file, if needed, to the current Zend_Translate instance (stored in bootstrap registry). Bad approach ?
So you have no basic module or translation when no module is attached at all ? Bad approach ? :-)
eheh ! My resource plugin takes into account each module functionnalities, among them the application core. So this class is always called, with or without module attached (at all). All languages files are located in the same directory (not in /modules/), then the class parses 'default' module and others (which are detected as activated (in DB)). By loading translation files in resource plugin just for the core ("default" module), I would need to not take into account these files when I will load the rest (files linked to other modules), whereas it's simpler to load all of them in the same time, without having two processes in two classes (with three levels of tree structure of each file (translation overloading system) I would have to externalize the process elsewhere if it is shared) (sorry if my english is not impressive)

"I've heard family members say that the police told them, 'If you want treatment for this guy, press charges. This is the only way they'll get treatment.'"
One of the best things about getting together the NAMI community for a convention is that in the course of a conversation someone can share a story that gets right to the heart of the matter. Such was the case with the quote above from Dr. Robert Keisling, a psychiatrist with Pathways to Housing DC. He was part of one of several workshops dealing with one of the most difficult questions many of us will ever face—what to do when people don't want help? Or to put it another way, what would we want done for us when we are so sick that we don't feel we need help?
Assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) and mental health courts, two approaches for reaching people in the throes of a mental illness who do not believe they need treatment, are often divisive issues in our community. At a standing-room-only session about anosognosia (the condition when someone is sick but doesn't know that they're sick), AOT, and advanced directives, panelist Jonathan Stanley drew upon his 10 years of experience as a lawyer and advocate as well as his own journey with bipolar disorder. "I've been to Lansing, Mich., to Newark, N.J., and I've been to anosognosia—and I have no desire to return to any of them," he said of the year when his illness was at its worst. "At my most psychotic was when I was most sure I wasn't sick."
The problem is that the treatment system in America in many communities has failed. The system that is meant to fix the people itself desperately needs to be fixed.
"Is this a mental health problem or a criminal justice problem? It will be handled one way or the other," noted Dr. Keisling in a subsequent workshop. A mental health system that leaves no recourse other than calling the police for a mental health crisis has been likened to "calling a plumber to fix a light bulb"— seeking the wrong expert for the problem. Crisis Intervention Teams or CIT has made great strides in educating the officers who are often the first line of defense for people in acute psychiatric distress. "In some areas 20 percent of 911 calls are about people with mentally illness," according to Keisling, who asserted, "It's really unfair to ask the criminal justice system to manage this problem because they're not trained to enforce compliance with treatment. The mental health system has fallen down on the job."
Other sources have reported family members, and individuals, turning to the criminal justice system to get their loved ones the help they didn't get through the mental health care system. "Some parents have resorted to filing criminal charges against their children in order to change out-of-control behaviors," the Child and Adolescent Bipolar Foundation confirms, cautioning, "once in the juvenile justice system, they are more likely to receive punishment than treatment."
No matter who answers that call for help, there is an obvious conflict about making it. Workshop participants who had been on the receiving end of help they didn't want said they were now thankful that someone intervened when they were very ill. Others have had experiences that drive them to take a strong stand in opposition to imposed treatment or interventions. NAMI community members who have been on either side of the issue—those who have resisted treatment while ill or who have tried to get a resistant family member help—what has been your experience? Have you been able to get help without entering the criminal justice system?

Tuesday Coffee Talk - Can great racing and great parenting coexist?
Submitted by Amy Thompson on
This week's coffee talk has to do with racing and parenting. Can great bicycle racing and great parenting coexist? Coffee talk discussion gives me the chance to rant and you a chance to fire back with your 2 or 4 cents.
I was recently reading an article on a local healthy-family website, ZisBoomBah.com about a mother who had just completed her first triathlon. Her spin was that parents have the power to inspire kids to participate in athletics. Case in point, after finishing her first triathlon, her daughter was so impressed that she asked if she could take swimming lessons in order to "swim like mommy".
that I accomplished more on that October day
than just my first triathlon. I also inspired
Bella to give the sport of swimming a try. Sure,
she has taken swim lessons off and on since she
was nine months old. But I chose to enroll her
in those classes as a safety precaution. This
time around was different, because Bella voiced
her wish to do more than blow bubbles in a pool.
She wants to swim like her mommy."
I am sure this is the case for many of our local bike racers, their kids watch the races and want to race too. Fortunately for us in Colorado, many race promoters oblige by offering lots of fun events for kids. Besides the obvious health and fitness benefits, kids who get involved with bike racing learn about commitment and training to prepare for races, tenacity to finish a race (even if it has a huge hill) and great sportsmanship, learning to both win and lose gracefully. Cycling has the added advantage of being a very individual sport which can be attractive to kids who don't care for team sports. Even if your kids aren't inspired to race bicycles, racing parents are setting a great example of being active and getting outdoors. They also show kids and other parents alike that athletics aren't just for kids. How many adults do you know who stopped exercising once they graduated from high school or college?
But what about the flip side? Bicycle racing is expensive and can be draining to family resources. Even more draining is the time issue, effective race training takes hours every week added to the time commitment of doing a race (packing, driving, registering, warming-up, actually racing, and going home can suck up an entire day). Kris at 303 has often joked that they need a "married with kids and a full time job" race category. Other local racing parents have shared that they have family rules around racing, like only one race per weekend. So what about you? Do you think great racing and great parenting can coexist? Take our poll and share how your family manages racing and child rearing.

Cool subject, Amy. Can these
Submitted by Greg (not verified) on
Cool subject, Amy. Can these two 'things' coexist. Yes. They most certainly can. It comes down to the parent acting...well, parental. It's about balancing priorities and being able to 'listen' to the needs of everyone else around you (significant others, kids, your boss at work...) as you strive for goals while being completely present for the needs (and goals) of those around you. Your article has two distinct 'halves' it seems to me: kids who are inspired by the antics of their parants....and parents who want to race yet have kids. In the case of the former, I consider that a blessing. Something's working if your child wants to pin on a number and ride a bike 2x their body weight in the mud. It is likely due to the parents positive attitude and the demonstrable fun the parent is having....up to and including coming across the finish line in a good mood regardless of place. Kids see ALL OF THIS. Even if they don't understand it is seeping in. So if you're a bitter racer, you really think your child wants to be a pill like you? No.
In the case of the latter, I feel it comes down to insanely great communication. The racing parent needs to communicate...yes, I mean TALK...about their goals with their loved ones. You can't drop bombshells on the family like: "Honey, I forgot to tell you I wanted to do this race tomorrow. Can you take Johnny to the pool like we promised for a fun day of swimming?" Translation: dick move. You need to articulate what you want and what you think it will take to get there. Then sacrifice like hell to make it happen. Train in the dark on the rollers, sacrifice a weekend of racing when it's clear the long season is dragging on your family.
Simply put: be an adult.

Parenting and racing
Submitted by Nicole Duke (not verified) on
At this point I might be able to write a book on this subject, juggling work, racing, kids, and family life.
I remember as a child growing up in the gym watching my Mom "pump the iron". She was a competitive body builder and I was always filled with such pride as I watched her competitions. I witnessed her triumphs and failures, the emotions that went along with these and how she handled herself. For me, important life lessons.
My racing career has a small shelf life at this point, and sometimes I wonder what the hell I'm trying to do, racing and raising a family at the same time. I'm following my passion and what I love, something I hope my children will do in their lives. Parenting is always a balance and in this day and age everyone is overloaded and busy. It's just what you choose to be busy with and the example you lead with that your children will take with them throughout their lives.
As far as racing, it suffers. I am the only one out there at a top 10 national cyclocross level with children. I don't have family or a nanny, my husband and I are on our own and sometimes we want to pull our hair out. BUT, the strengh and support I get from my family makes up for all the rest.
So to all those parents out there, please follow your passion, but with balance and integrity for your family.

Parenting and racing

Even at the local level, racing, having a family and working full time is a constant balancing act. Every weekend, Sept-early Dec, we bring the whole family out, usually leaving the house by 6:30am (for our son to race) and getting home around 2:00. As we are leaving our house it has become a joke that there is more stuff in our truck than what's left in our house.
Together, our family has experienced the high's and low's that come with doing what you are passionate about. Our kids are learning that not everyone wins but that doesn't make the experience any less exciting. They have made friends through racing and spend the day riding their bikes, playing in the dirt and just being kids.
As for the quality of racing, that can be mixed bag. Sometimes your warmup doesn't happen, sometimes you don't get the quality of training you need during the week, and a cool down…what's that?. But you learn to roll with the punches and I wouldn't change anything.
A few tips:
1. Be flexible
2. Be organized
3. Bring snacks!

Well Said Nicole
Submitted by Lucas C. (not verified) on
I agree with Nicole, she is following her passion but yet balancing her work, racing and family life. Racing at the level that she is at and having a family is in my opinion an accomplishment worthy of a National Title in and of itself. She is also a great roll model to little girls (like my 2 daughters) that you can have a job, be a great mom and follow your passion. Our girls need more role models like that. And you SHOULD write a book. Keep up the great work.

Are we blinded by our own passion?

Are we blinded by our own passion in the sport to provide a unbasised answer? Replace the topic of racing with "work"... aka workaholic and see how this story reads. My father was a work-aholic and as a result he rarely did much with me as a child. Sure he set a good example of hard work pays off at least in $$$ but a bit of my childhood with him was absent due to his obsession.
Now racing/cycling can have a better spin than working and family can be included into the activity better than general work can.... but be cautious with our obsession with this sport.

Here is how Nico T. balances it all (including 4:30am rides)
Submitted by Amy Thompson on
From 303's interview with Nico: My number one trick to balancing training, racing, family life and work is marrying the right woman. Seriously, however, it's a difficult balancing act, and there is no way to do it all without making some sacrifices, in some areas of your life. My wife and I trade which one of us gets to wake up early and exercise, and which one of us stays at home to handle the morning kid routine. She gets Mondays and Fridays to go to her yoga practice, and I get Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays to do early morning rides. I definitely get the better end of that deal, but she's super supportive of my racing, and knows that I'm happier (and easier to be around) when I'm exercising. We also try to bring our kids to my races and make them into mini family vacations/ fun events. We camped in Durango for the Iron Horse Classic, so for our kids it was a camping trip, not a bicycle race trip. And at the State TT we packed a picnic lunch, crammed the kids' bikes into the back of the car, and made a family outing of the event. The kids rode their bikes around the parking lot and ate lunch under the portable gazebo while I obsessed over how aero my number was pinned on, and whether I should ride with my Zipp 1080 or 808 front wheel. They had a great time and napped solidly all the way back to Boulder in the car.
I also make some cycling sacrifices for the sake of my family life. There are several races that I'll miss so I can do our annual two-week East Coast trip to visit my wife's family. And we have a couple of weekends where I'll miss races so I can spend time with out-of-town visitors, or to go camping with our kids. In the end I think I race better, however, when I balance life with bicycle racing, because the time off forces me to rest, enjoy other aspects of life, and recharge my batteries, both physically and mentally.

Balance: It's a cliche', but...
Submitted by Glenn (not verified) on
I read that interview last year and was fairly inspired by it--makes you realize it can be done. The old cliche' of "balance" is the key.
I've seen both sides in the last dozen years: obsessively racing and basically having no life...and having a great family/work life but being 50lbs overweight and months between workouts. Both states of being ultimately lead to dark places. I'm happiest and most present for my family when I am able to somewhat balance all three interests.
Trick with kids is that cycling (or any endurance sport) is a tough sell given the amount of work and suffering involved. My hope is that if I merely do my thing with enthusiasm, they'll become interested in due course.

I love Japanese Kit kats. Even though my review history hasn't shown it, I do keep up with all the new flavors that are released, almost obsessively so. I have a pretty big backlog of these, I assure you. Getting a timely review of them up, considering the quantity of Kit kats that I have and the ones I've yet to taste, make it a very difficult endeavor. So I hope you don't mind that when I review these flavors that some of them may be unavailable. Unless you look on eBay, of course.
So, all that aside, these were a release from this summer. They're Kokuto "black sugar" flavor and they come in this giant bag filled with mini, two-fingered bars. Now, you may be wondering what "black sugar" is, and it's an easy thing to not know about unless you're into regional Japanese foods. Okinawa produces a special kind of sugar, the very black sugar that's flavoring these Kit kats, and it's similar to brown sugar. This black sugar contains lots of minerals and is considered a very healthy, and tasty, sugar to eat. You can easily find hard candies made from this special sugar, and I am ashamed to say I have not yet tried them.
The base of these Kit Kats are white chocolate, which I feel is a good decision since I don't want heavy flavors to overpower what flavors the black sugar may impart. The bars are attractive as Kit kats always are.
As for the flavor? It tastes of molasses. Thick, blackstrap molasses. I'm a big fan of molasses, so I'm immediately addicted. The rest of the bar is the tried and true Kit kat, with crisp wafers and a nice balance of chocolate to wafer.
I love the flavor, and these are great with a nice cup of tea. I wish I had gotten more.

This has been an idea of mine for years, I am honestly surprised someone has not started it. Basically what if you took satellite images from NASA/Google Earth, and used them to make a comprehensive role playing video game of our own real world. We have had google earth for almost a decade now. I know it would take some serious work to turn satellite pictures into a video games, but most of the work seems to be already there, just make the buildings, some trees, and finally enemies and people, and bam, your done.
Is it because no one would play it? I would play it in a heart beat, I don't know about you.

Quick tip #1 for getting the most out of your NuGlow Skincare Products
A word about cleansing your skin:
Some people love the feel of HOT water on their skin when they wash. Very hot water can be harsh on your skin and can cause your capillaries to become more noticeable. We recommend cleansing with warm water. A washcloth is a wonderful exfoliator – a little rub helps remove flaking skin – just remember to be gentle! Remember, facial sponges are particularly susceptible to bacteria and germs, so repeat use may not be a good idea.

Wilmington man charged with molesting dog
Published: Friday, July 11, 2014 at 1:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 11, 2014 at 1:28 p.m.
A Wilmington man remained in custody Friday, charged with molesting a female dog, according to police.
Jose Vasquez, 46, of 5011 Peachtree Lane, is being held on $250,000 bail on a charge of crimes against nature.
A witness reported at 3:32 a.m. July 5 that he was walking in a parking lot of a Market Street hotel when Vasquez asked him about a dog that was in the parking lot. When the witness told Vasquez the dog wasn't his, Vasquez allegedly took the dog with him to his car, said Wilmington Police Department spokeswoman Linda Rawley. A short time later, the dog's owner asked the witness if he'd seen the dog and the witness directed the dog owner to the car he'd seen Vasquez get into, she said.
"When they approached the car, they saw the suspect committing the crime," Rawley said.
The men knocked on the window and Vasquez reportedly jumped out and ran, Rawley said. Vasquez was arrested at 6:05 a.m. on Kerr Avenue, police records show.

When a record 52 female politicians won seats in the House and Senate 20 years ago, pundits declared it the Year of the Woman. But anyone who imagined that women were about to achieve representation in keeping with their 51 percent share of the population was soon disappointed. This fall, female candidates of both parties hope to expand the ranks of women in government. Here, some races to watch.
Representative Tammy Baldwin (D) aims to become the first openly lesbian U.S. senator, but she also would be Wisconsin's first woman in that job. Democrats like their chances in this battleground state, but winning won't be easy, with national interest groups and super PACs pouring in money to influence the result.
Tammy Duckworth (D), an Iraq-war vet who is a double amputee, served in the Obama administration and is making her second bid for a House seat from Illinois. She is looking to defeat Tea Party freshman Joe Walsh; replacing Walsh is critical to Democrats' hopes of reclaiming the House.
Maggie Hassan (D) stands at a crossroads: If she loses in New Hampshire, there won't be a single female Democratic governor next year. Hassan bills herself as a collaborative figure, on the basis of her years in state government.
Linda Lingle (R), former governor of Hawaii, is taking on current congresswoman Mazie Hirono (D) in a U.S. Senate contest. Whoever wins, Hawaii will send a woman to the upper house for the first time. Hirono gets a boost by having Aloha State native Obama in the White House, but Republicans say Lingle, whose popularity and connections make her a fund-raising machine, may surprise us.
Mia Love (R) is a black Mormon with a toss-up chance of toppling Utah Representative Jim Matheson (D). There are only two black Republicans in Congress, both of them male. If Love wins, it's a safe bet that the diversity-seeking House leadership will consider her for a plum post.
Deb Fischer (R), a Nebraska state senator (and rural rancher) aiming for a U.S. Senate seat, rode a Sarah Palin endorsement to victory over better-known primary candidates. Democrats say ex-senator and former governor Bob Kerrey has a fighting chance. But in this conservative state, Fischer may benefit from voters' turning out to express disappointment with the president.

ZF-2819: Allow ViewScript decorator to have access to content and to replace it
Several people have requested the ability to have access to decorator content within the view script rendered by the ViewScript decorator, as well as the ability to replace the content provided to it. This can be accomplished by doing the following:
- add an additional variable to the view, 'content';
- add the decorator itself as the 'decorator' view variable;
- and allow a null value for the 'placement' option, which would allow you to replace the content instead of appending or prepending it.
You would then be able to either:
- pass a null 'placement' option to the decorator at initialization
- in your view script, call $this->decorator->setPlacement(null)
in order to make the content of the view script replace it.
Works as per the bullet points in the posted issue, with the exception that the value 'false' should be passed as the 'placement' decorator option when desiring to replace content.
Applied to trunk and 1.5 release branch.

Hey Mewtwo, I just had an idea for more activity.
Last generation, it took almost a year for the internet to gather up the resources of the animated pokemon sprites, and still even now, there really isn't that great of a database for them.
If we start right away next generation on indexing animated sprites to the pokedream pokedex, we would have a huge burst of people viewing to get their hands on these sprites.
I think its a great idea, entire sites were set up just to do this last generation, and if we are the first major site to do this, we could ride a big wave of activity.
what do you say?

Weekend A La Carte (12/15)
December 15, 2012
Rachel Weeping for Her Children - Al Mohler responds to yesterday's unspeakably horrible tragedy in Connecticut. So too do Russell Moore and John Piper among many, many others. The Getty's song A Mother's Prayer seems particularly appropriate at this time.
There are quite a few limited-time sales on Kindle books that may interest you. The four-volume Essential Edwards collection is on sale at just $0.99 each. They are excellent introductions to Edwards' work: Lover of God, The Good Life, Heaven and Hell and True Christianity. You can also get Voices of the True Woman Movement (DeMoss, Piper, Kassian, etc) for $1.99 or two books from Ted Kluck: The Reason for Sports and Hello, I Love You.
The Losing Ticket - Business Week looks at Jack Whittaker who won the lottery and then had his entire life crumble around him.
The Average Worship Leader - Bob Kauflin salutes the average worship leader. "By average I don't mean mediocre or lazy. Just normal. Because that's what most of those leading in churches today are. Normal."
Sharing the Gospel - Michael McKinley has sound counsel on sharing the gospel with gay people. "Here are three questions that I have found useful in these types of conversations. They can help clear some of the brush out of the way so that you can talk about Jesus (which is, after all, the point!). One caveat: people are not evangelistic projects. You need to communicate genuine, personal care for them as a person or else you might do more harm than good when you share Christ with them."
Christmas Flash Mob - Here's another Christmas flash mob singing about Jesus.
If God were small enough to be understood He would not be big enough to be worshipped. —Evelyn Underhill

Here's the homegrown stuff (world selections to follow) we're already clamoring to see based on, well... nothing. It's sorta like when we got excited before Ke$ha's Cannibal dropped last week.
Click here to read the complete '11 selection list.
U.S. DRAMATIC COMPETITION 16 films were selected from 1,102 submissions and none had Vin Diesel.
Another Earth (Director: Mike Cahill; Screenwriters: Mike Cahill and Brit Marling) - Why: Because Cahill directed the best movie of '07 that like three people and Cahill's family saw (King of California). This one's about discovering a second Earth - like Avatar but not ad-libbed.
HERE (Director: Braden King; Written By: Braden King and Dani Valent) - Why: Because the movie's about an effin cartographer. How long have we (yeah, we as in everyone) been saying 'Make a movie about a dude who makes maps...' Finally, King, who did the best doc ever on Dutch Harbor in the late-90s, delivers with the all-caps title.
Higher Ground (Director: Vera Farmiga; Screenwriters: Carolyn S. Briggs and Tim Metcalfe) - Why: Because Farminga is hot in front of the camera; think of how smokin' she'll be behind it.
Homework (Director and screenwriter: Gavin Wiesen) - Why: It's about cuttin' class and Emma Roberts is in it.
Like Crazy (Director: Drake Doremus; Screenwriters: Drake Doremus and Ben York Jones) - Why: LDR btw. young hot American guy and young hot Brit girl. Doremus is funnyish enough - will this be the Wes Anderson moment he's been craving? The Untitled Sam Levinson Project (Director and screenwriter: Sam Levinson) - Why: We like movies w/out a name. We like Kate Bosworth even better. This has both. U.S. DOCUMENTARY COMPETITION 16 films were selected from 841 submissions.
Beats, Rhymes and Life (Director: Michael Rapaport) - Why: A doc about Tribe Called Quest directed by Rapaport hello, Gary from friends - hells to the yes.
BEING ELMO: A Puppeteer's Journey (Director: Constance Marks) - Why: First cartographers, now puppeteers. Best. Sundance. Ever.
Hot Coffee (Director: Susan Saladoff) - Why: More corporate America bashing - bring it.
How to Die in Oregon (Director: Peter D. Richardson) - Why: In 1994, Oregon became the first state to legalize physician-assisted suicide and here's a he's-on-my-dead-pool tribute to Kevorkian. The Last Mountain (Director: Bill Haney; Screenwriters: Bill Haney and Peter Rhodes) - Why: Appalachian coal mining/future of energy. Ripped from the headlines.
Miss Representation (Director: Jennifer Siebel Newsom; Screenwriters: Jennifer Siebel Newsom and Jessica Congdon) - Why: SF mayor Gavin Newsom's Mrs., long removed from her days as a She Spy, now has time to hang with toddler daughter Montana and make a doc about women being marginalized by media. Can't figure out from the trailer which side Katie Couric represents.
Page One: A year inside the New York Times (Director: Andrew Rossi; Screenwriters: Kate Novack and Andrew Rossi) - Why: I mean, do we really need to say why? Read the title again.
Troubadours (Director: Morgan Neville) - Why: Archival footie from LA's Troubadour in the late-'60s focusing on James Taylor and Carole King before they turned into sucky old people who play on PBS during pledge drives, that's why.

Each week from now until the first game of the 2013 Sun Devil football season, the ASU media relations department will release a position group summary for every spot on the Sun Devil roster. These will provide in-depth detail on the top returners, promising newcomers and all you could need to know about each position as we head into what should be another exciting season under Todd Graham.
The first batch of summaries will focus on the offensive side of the ball, and this week we review the 2013 Sun Devil Running Backs
By Jeremy Hawkes
TEMPE – Of the many improvements exhibited by the Sun Devil football program during the 2012 season, it was perhaps the great offensive achievement of head coach Todd Graham and offensive coordinator Mike Norvell to take a roster abundant with talent at the running back position and spread the ball around in a way that kept all involved in a back-by-committee offense that was just about as good as any in the conference.
Cameron Marshall (135 carries), Marion Grice (103 carries) and D.J. Foster (102 carries) each saw significant reps last season as they combined for 1,805 rushing yards on 340 attempts (5.3 yards per carry) and 22 touchdowns on the ground.
The three-headed monster approach took advantage of the trio's ability to make plays in the receiving game as well and as a whole on the year, the three accounted for 31.4 percent of all the team's receiving yards this season. Of the 3,369 total receiving yards, running backs collected 1,057. As a whole, the trio accounted for nearly half of ASU total offense on the season (2,812 yards out of 6,039).
Grice, Marshall and Foster also accounted for 35 of the team's 60 total offensive touchdowns. Grice had 19 (11 rushing, eight receiving), Marshall with 10 (nine rushing, one receiving) and Foster posted six (two rushing, four receiving).
ASU finished the season averaging 205.5 yards per game on the ground, which was the second-best mark in the past 25 seasons (since 1988). Only the 234.1 yards per game put up by the 1996 Sun Devils are better. ASU moved ahead of the 200.0 yards per game in 1997 following a dominating effort at the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl. ASU's 380 rushing yards against Navy were the most since posting 405 against Oregon in 1997.
Grice, Marshall and Foster finished the season averaging 216.3 yards of total offense per game as a unit. The team is averaging 464.5 total yards per game.
Gone this year is Camerson Marshall, who finished his career in sole possession of seventh place on ASU's all-time rushing list with 2,700 yards and fourth place on the school's all-time rushing attempts list with 580. His 38 career touchdowns are the second-most in program history, but Grice and Foster both return as perhaps the most prolific returning running back tandem in the conference.
The two bring back 2,130 combined yards from last season (1,172 rushing, 958 receiving) and 25 touchdowns. Among Pac-12 programs returning dual backs where one back didn't take over 75 percent of the touches between the two, only the Oregon squads return numbers that come close to stacking up. Oregon State returns Storm Woods and Terron Ward, who combined for 1,747 yards (1,355 rushing, 392 receiving) and 19 touchdowns. Oregon, who lost Kenjon Barner to graduation, returns a tandem of De'Anthony Thomas and Byron Marshall who put up a combined 1,607 yards (1,148 rushing, 459 receiving) and 20 touchdowns.
Grice and Foster are two of only five running backs in the nation this season that return with over 400 yards rushing and receiving last season.
Grice's 19 total touchdowns last season (11 rushing, 8 receiving) were 14th in the country in total touchdowns on the year while his eight receiving scores led all FBS running backs. The 19 touchdowns were the third-highest single season tally in ASU history. He averaged a touchdown every 7.58 times he touched the ball (19 TDs on 144 touches), which was the best average of any FBS player that had over 100 carries and 25 receptions.
In victories over Arizona and Navy in the final two games of the season, Grice put up 315 rushing yards and five touchdowns, earning MVP honors in both games for the effort. He finished as the team's leader in all-purpose yardage on the season with 1,104 yards and with Marshall's graduation, Grice now steps into the role as the team's top back. This fact was noted when he was named to the Maxwell Award Watch List this past week, given annually to America's College Player of the Year.
A quiet and reserved player during his first season, Grice's biggest gains may be off the field where he has opened up among teammates, coaches and media members over the offseason, making him an ideal candidate to be one of the team's leaders this season.
Running back coach Bo Graham also believes the fact that Grice – who came to Arizona State through the JC ranks after playing prep ball in inner-city Houston - is enjoying his first "true" offseason of training will help pay dividends in the coming season as he is in much better shape and has seen great improvements in the weight room.
Foster was hot on Grice's heels as the all-purpose leader, finishing with 1,026 all-purpose yards. His 533 receiving yards were the most of any Pac-12 running back and the third-most of all returning FBS backs this season. He finished his first season as ASU's all-time freshman leader among running backs in receptions and receiving yards and finished only behind former All-American Zach Miller for the top tallies in school history in those categories.
Foster tallied six touchdowns, including four receiving, and his 4.8 yards per rush were second on the team and his 14.0 yards per catch were third. He also led the team with 31 total (18 receiving and 13 rushing) "explosive plays," which the ASU coaching staff deems as rushes of 12 or more yards and receptions of 16 or more yards.
He played in all 13 games in 2012 and became one of just six true freshmen in school history to start in their first opportunity.
Foster was recently named to the Paul Hornung Award watch list, given annually to the nation's most versatile player. Foster was also named a Fox Sports NEXT freshman All-American following his season last year.
Foster has also gotten into better shape, adding weight but still finding himself moving better than he was before the weight gain, according to Bo Graham. His release and getting off the ball has also improved through the Spring and he will see a lot of reps in the passing game as a result.
One of ASU's most explosive players as a freshman back in 2010 was redshirt junior Deantre Lewis. After an offseason injury following his freshman year, Lewis spent the majority of his redshirt sophomore campaign this last season just getting back into football shape. He saw reps as a defensive back but will return to the offensive side of the ball this season and look to pick up where he left off as a freshman.
As a frosh, Lewis accumulated nearly 1,000 all-purpose yards and scored six total touchdowns. Lewis is another versatile player that can line up in the backfield or as a receiver and the key to his success, Graham notes, is becoming more consistent and continue getting back into shape following his injury.
Terrell Davis is a big, solid back at 6-0, 232 and is someone that could play a role in short-yardage situations as a redshirt freshman. A raw talent, Graham has challenged Davis to make his way onto the field in a special teams role while he works on developing his fundamentals this season.
Marcus Washington adds great depth to the line-up as a power-runner who brings a lot of energy to his game. A physical back, Washington is noted for always giving max-effort on the field and is someone the coaches have to tell to slow down more often than telling him to pick it up. Washington could also seem some time in short-yardage role duty as the season progresses.

Three international teams (51N4E, Studio 012, KCAP) have developed visions for how Brussels will look in 2040. The visions are now being shown in the Brussels 2040: Three Visions for a Metropolis exhibition at the Centre for fine Arts in Brussels. The three teams have produced videos, photos, models, urban master plans to present their visions which hope to provide answers for What will Brussels be like in 2040 if its demographic growth continues? How will people get around the city if the motor car is no longer a sustainable means of transport? How can we reduce the social divide and avoid a dual city? How can we offer everyone an opportunity to live and work in the city with dignity? How can we coordinate the development of Brussels with its hinterland?

This installment: mid-century Romania; Israeli Army life; a visceral, vibrant memoir; and a memoir that combines books and death (yes!)
Painter of Silence by Georgina Harding
Romania in the '50s (a place I haven't read much about). We meet the protagonist in difficult circumstances: almost dead, then deaf, mute, nameless, and shut down. A young nurse, Safta, rescues him; by coincidence this Tinu was part of her past life before Stalin blasted the social order to pieces. As Tinu recovers he starts to draw again in great detail, and ultimately Safta discovers an essential truth that bring some solace. Eventually they find a place of refuge for this unusual, intense, gifted man and it's another coincidental connection. I enjoyed experiencing Romania, described lyrically, and the opportunity to access the internal processes of the painter of silence.
The People of Forever Are Not Afraid by Shani Boianjiu
I'm always a little shocked to think that young people in Israel go into the army automatically--it's just part of growing up. Three young women, friends, endure tedium, fear, camaraderie and brutality amid everyday military life. Yael shoots well and becomes a trainer, Lea does checkpoint scrutiny, and Avishag is a border guard. There's a rough, tough, often bitter humor that comes through--probably part of the territory. Another one of those books that takes me to a place I'm fascinated to visit between covers (as it were) but glad to avoid in real life.
Blood Bones and Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton
Subtitled: the inadvertent education of a reluctant chef. She was brought up, if you can call it that, by bohemian parents in a "ruined mill" near NYC. Her father, a dreamer and theater designer, her mother, a French ex-ballerina, and 4 siblings. Little money, lots of amazing parties and food. Then the split, when she at 14 and one brother were essentially abandoned for an entire summer. She became a wild girl, in and out of college, always supporting herself with food service jobs. Finally her own improbable but successful small restaurant, Prune, replicating the basic European dishes she learned to cook from her mother and her Italian mother-in-law. Now the marriage--that's a fascinating story in itself. She'd started with girlfriends but this Italian doctor wooed her (he also needed a green card) so they got married, had two children, but continued to live apart. The relationship, if you can call it that, was contentious, confusing, emotionally ill-suited, but they managed for a handful of years together. A very satisfying book, candid, gritty, and sensual.
Blood Bones and Butter by Gabrielle Hamilton (CD version)
Then I listened to it, read by the author. At first I found her voice flat and tough, but it grew on me and it felt as if she were hanging out in my kitchen, sharing intimate secrets.
The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe
Books and death--right up my alley. Will's mother is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. While they're hanging out during chemo sessions they discuss what they're reading. Both are terrifyingly literate: mother was admissions director for Harvard and Will is an editor. Thus the genesis of their ongoing communion. Books strengthened, diverted, and nourished them during this difficult time. Will's mother lived longer than predicted. It was a pleasure to get to know her on these pages, a self-effacing powerhouse with very strong opinions and enormous generosity. (She spearheaded many projects for refugees all over the world, including building a library in Kabul.) And Will is very good at summing up what they read. A great pleasure.
Back next Monday. And take a look at the following link:
It will take you to Marin Poets Live!, our new MCFL digital archive in which I interview local poets who then read their work.

ZF-3681: Centralize definition of URI delimiter in Zend_Controller_Router_Route_*
Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Module::assemble() in SVN uses '/' when making urls instead of self::URI_DELIMITER. This patch fixes that.
Forgot to attach patch
This might be a better patch, although I am not sure if putting a const in an interface is considered bad form.
{{URI_DELIMITER}} constant is introduced only in {{Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Module}} and thus it cannot be used in other route classes as suggested in the patch attached in July 2008. In addition line numbers do not apply anymore making this patch pretty much decayed. I think that the {{URI_DELIMITER}} should be declared in {{Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Abstract}} so that it would also be available in other route classes. However, if I remember correct routing will be largely refactored in ZF2 so this issue could be resolved as won't fix.
Fixed in trunk r24179-r24181 Merged to release-1.11 in r24182

Comments about Repositionable World Map, Blue Ocean:
If I bought one of your maps again, I would buy an already framed one. I couldn't believe the cost involved in the framing, even though I didn't use glass in front of the map.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

good map, very tricky installation
By Hong
from San Jose, CA
It's generally a good quality map, however it comes with ZERO installation instructions. Thus I did the installation purely based on guess/experience.I peeled off the protection film, then installed it over a painted wall.In the evening after I came back home, to my horror the map came off the wall completely, and became a twisted mess. Because of the strong adhesive, I found it extremely hard the spread it out, during that process I managed to tear some portion of it.I then contact NG customer service, who kindly sent me a replacement. However I'll contact customer service this time to make sure it will be installed properly.I strongly recommend you to contact customer service before you start to do the installation, otherwise you are likely to repeat my mistake.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
