|Vandals sweep WAC awards
MOSCOW, Idaho – University of Idaho track and field swept the Western Athletic Conference men's and women's Track and Field Athlete of the Week honors for the week of Feb. 11-17, the league announced on Wednesday.
Senior Barry Britt and sophomore Matt Sullivan claimed the WAC Men's Track and Field Athlete of the Week honors, respectively, while seniors Liga Velvere (track) and Kristine Leonard (field) took the women's honors.
The honors give Britt four in his career, Velvere three, Leonard two and Sullivan one.
Britt, a distance runner from Hampton, New Brunswick (Georgia State), ran a five-second career-best time of 4:07.33 in a fourth-place finish in the mile at the Idaho Collegiate on Friday. It's the fastest in the WAC this season and the fastest by an Idaho runner since 1998. It's the best time in the WAC since the 2010 indoor season.
Sullivan, a vaulter from Caldwell, Idaho (Caldwell HS), became the third Vandal to crack the 17-foot barrier on Friday with a winning clearance of 17-0.75 (5.20m) in the men's pole vault. It marked the second-year Vandal's third-consecutive weekend with a career best in the event and moved him into a tie for second in the WAC in the event. He enters the week ranked 43rd in the NCAA in the event.
Velvere, a senior from Saldus, Latvia (Latvian Academy of Sport), ran a season-best and WAC-leading time of 2:07.83 to win the women's 800m on Friday at the Idaho Collegiate. It's the second-fastest time of her career and ranks 41st in the NCAA so far this season.
Leonard, a thrower from Rathdrum, Idaho (Concordia University), won a pair of events and earned five top-three finishes over the weekend at the Idaho Collegiate and Idaho Open II. On Friday, Leonard hit a career-best 57-7.75 (17.57m) and finished second in the weight throw, won the indoor discus with a mark of 156-7 (47.72m) and then took third in the women's shot put with a mark of 45-7.25 (13.90m). She followed it up on Saturday with a win in the weight throw at 56-9.5 (17.31m) and a second-place shot put performance of 46-0.5 (14.03m).
Along with the four honors this week, Idaho men's and women's track and field earned a combined seven WAC Athlete of the Week honors during the indoor season.
The Vandal men and women will compete at the WAC Indoor Track & Field Championships this Thursday through Saturday, Feb. 21-23, at Albuquerque, N.M.

Denver/Boulder Couriers to Provide Bike Delivery Service to Boulder Farmer's Market
Submitted by Amy Thompson on
From the Daily Camera
You're riding your bike through Central Park and decide to stop at the Boulder Farmers' Market to buy some fresh veggies. While there, you decide you'd also like a box of peaches and some bread.
Before you know it, you have bags of food and no convenient way to get it home.
It's with this kind of situation in mind that the Boulder Farmers' Market this year has partnered with Denver/Boulder Couriers to provide a bike delivery service for customers, market manager Jenn Ross said.
"This is a service so people can complete their shopping in one stop," Ross said while making her rounds at the market Wednesday. "You don't have to take a car down here. You can buy three cases of peaches and have them delivered to your house. It's cheap, it's efficient and it's pollution-free."
Using a 5-foot-long by 2.5-foot-wide aluminum trailer, a pair of coolers and a gently used 18-speed bike, DBC offers $6 deliveries to locations north to Iris Avenue, south to Table Mesa Drive and east to Foothills Parkway. A delivery to areas outside that perimeter but still in the city of Boulder is $9. He offers the service from 5 p.m. until the market closes on Wednesdays, and from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.

ZF-8639: due invalid cache id Zend_Controller_Action_Helper crashes
Zend_Controller_Action_Helper uses request URI as cache id. It generates an exception.
cache id is generated at library/Zend/Controller/Action/Helper.php:157
The exception came from Zend_Cache_Core "Invalid id or tag '/mycontroller/myaction' : must use only [a-zA-Z0-9_]"

A drug investigation has led to the arrest of a 60-year-old man, according to a Davidson County Sheriff's Office news release.
Myless Ray Hooper Jr. of 1477 Enterprise Road has been charged with two counts of felony trafficking opium or heroin, felony possession with intent to manufacture, sell and deliver a schedule III controlled substance, felony maintaining a vehicle/dwelling/place for controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and felony possession of a firearm by a felon. He was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center under a $100,000 secured bond.
The Davidson County Sheriff's Office Vice/Narcotics Unit arrested Hooper on Wednesday during a drug investigation. During the investigation, Hooper allegedly sold an undercover Davidson County Sheriff's Office Vice/Narcotics detective 50 Dilaudid pills and 74 Hydrocodone pills, according to a DCSO news release. As part of the investigation, detectives conducted a search of Hooper's residence at 1477 Enterprise Road.
During a search of the residence, detectives seized $5,600 in cash, two firearms and items of drug paraphernalia. The seized pills have an estimated street value of $2,300, according to the news release.
Hooper has a court date of June 25.

Tar Heels oust Wolfpack with 7-0 victory
Published: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 21, 2013 at 12:04 a.m.
OMAHA, NEB. | North Carolina's Hobbs Johnson combined with Chris McCue on a five-hitter, and the Tar Heels stayed alive in the College World Series with a 7-0 victory over North Carolina State on Thursday night.
Michael Russell drove in three runs for the No. 1-seeded Tar Heels (59-11), the first on a sacrifice fly that resulted in a close play at the plate to open the scoring in the fourth inning.
Johnson allowed five singles, walked two and struck out six before leaving with one out in the ninth.
N.C. State's Carlos Rodon started on three days rest after throwing 108 pitches in an 8-1 win over Carolina. He gave up two runs on four hits in his five innings.
Carolina must beat UCLA twice — first on Friday and again Saturday — to reach the finals. North Carolina State (50-16), in the CWS for the first time since 1968, was shut out for the first time this season.
Atlantic Coast Conference player of the year Colin Moran had three singles, reached base four times and drove in two runs for Carolina.
Johnson (5-1), a 14th-round draft pick of the Milwaukee Brewers, bounced back from a dismal start in the super regionals against South Carolina. He lasted just 1 2-3 innings and gave up five runs in an 8-0 loss that day.
But he had turned in a strong start the last time he faced the Wolfpack, and he did again Thursday in the fifth meeting of the teams this season. He relied on a fastball that reached the low 90s to keep the Wolfpack in check. He got an assist from a 22-mph wind blowing in at a ballpark that has surrendered only two home runs through 10 CWS games.
Rodon (10-2), projected as the possible No. 1 pick in next year's draft, was a surprise starter for the Wolfpack.
NC State coach Elliott Avent originally planned to go with Brad Stone. Rodon was scheduled to throw an extended bullpen session Thursday, but Avent and pitching coach Tom Holliday scrapped it and decided to go with Rodon and give him a 75-pitch count that stretched to 80.
Rodon, who held the Tar Heels hitless into the fifth inning on Sunday, had his fastball humming in the mid-90s but wasn't nearly as dominating as he was Sunday.
The Tar Heels had runners in scoring position in the first and third innings but didn't break through until Russell's bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the fourth. NC State right fielder Jake Fincher made a perfect throw home, but the headfirst-sliding Brian Holberton touched the plate with his right hand just ahead of catcher Brett Austin's tag.
Austin bounced his mask off the ground and Rodon, backing up on the play, threw his glove in the dirt as Avent bolted out of the dugout to confront umpire Joe Burleson. TV replays appeared to support Burleson's call.
Burleson, wearing a television microphone, told Avent that Holberton beat the tag.
"You really believe that, Joe?" Avent asked.
"I do," Burleson said before warning Avent he would eject him if he didn't quit following him.
Rodon caused some of his own problems in the fourth. Colin Moran singled leading off and was safe at second when Rodon bounced a throw into center field as he tried to get Moran on Holberton's bunt. He walked Cody Stubbs to load the bases with none out.
Moran was forced out at home on Skye Bolt's grounder to third, and then Russell delivered his sacrifice fly.
Rodon hit Parks Jordan leading off the fifth, and Moran's two-out single to center brought him home. Moran became the first Atlantic Coast Conference player to drive in 90 runs in a season since Florida State's Buster Posey in 2008.
The Tar Heels broke open the game in the four-run eighth, with Russell singling in two runs and Mike Zolk doubling in two more.

Steely Dan's music resides at the intersection of highly polished precision and jazz-fueled jams, and I'll readily admit that's an intersection I've spent the better part of my lifelong musical fandom actively avoiding.
That said, the Steely Dan appearance in Salt Lake City Saturday night was clearly a big deal for the fans who made it one of the first Red Butte Garden summer concerts to sell out when the season slate was announced. I don't know if it was the first time ever that Donald Fagen and Walter Becker brought their project to Zion–Steely Dan's been kicking around off and on since the '70s, after all–but it's the first time in my two decades-plus in Utah that I remember them coming to town.
Steely Dan is known as a "musician's band," and the reason why was clear from the moment the backing musicians, dubbed the Bipolar Allstars for this 2013 tour, preceded Becker and Fagen to the stage with an instrumental workout of Gerry Mulligan's "Blueport." Featuring four horns, guitar, bass, drums and keyboards (and abetted by three female backup singers known as the Borderline Brats), the players on the road with Steely Dan were remarkably entertaining throughout the show, whether taking one of the seemingly endless solos dotting the songs, or tightening up for Steely Dan's myriad FM staples from yesteryear. Peeking at my Facebook feed during the show, it appeared that every musician in town was at Red Butte Garden posting their thrilled responses to the show, save for the folks with gigs at the weekend-long Uncle Uncanny festival up in Heber.
With the guitar-playing Becker content to blend in with the band, save a couple of turns on vocals and a couple more nonsensical rants and band introductions, Fagen naturally took the spotlight for much of the night. Mostly sitting behind his keyboards or moving around the stage blowing into a recorder, Fagen led the band into the show-opening "Gold Teeth," "Aja" and "Hey Nineteen," the crowd on its feet for every second.
After "Showbiz Kids," Fagen accidentally flip-flopped the band's pre-planned next couple songs, leading them into "Black Cow" before "Black Friday." It's a testament to the skilled players on stage that the mix-up was imperceptible, only coming to attention when Fagen explained what he did after the band finished "Black Cow."
"Time Out of Mind" and "Godwhacker" led into Becker's taking over vocals for "Daddy Don't Live in That New York City No More," followed by what I thought was the best performance of the night, an energetic take on "Bodhisattva" that truly showcased the band in all its glory. Drummer Keith Carlock was a powerhouse throughout the show, locking in with bassist Freddie Washington to give Fagen and Becker's songs a strong backbone no matter what direction they chose. Likewise, the horn section–Michael Leonhart on trumpet, Jim Pugh on trombone, Roger Rosenberg on baritone sax and Walt Weiskopf on saxophone–proved invaluable to the songs, and helped draw this non-Steely fan into performances that otherwise might have left me cold.
The Borderline Brats had their own chance to showcase their considerable vocal chops on "Razor Boy" before Steely Dan thrilled the crowd with old favorite "Deacon Blues." After Becker used a cover of Joe Tex's "I Want To (Do Everything for You)" to formally introduce the musicians on stage, and the band followed up with "Josie," I'd heard enough, even though there were a few songs left in the show.
After all, if I want to hear "Reelin' in the Years," I just have to turn on any classic-rock station in American and wait 10 minutes.

ZF-9324: Zend_View_Helper_HeadTitle wrong params in code ws comments and API documentation
The Api documentation:
Zend_View_Helper_HeadTitle headTitle ([string $title = null], [string $setType = Zend_View_Helper_Placeholder_Container_Abstract::APPEND], string $separator)
The comments above the function: /** * Retrieve placeholder for title element and optionally set state * * @param string $title * @param string $setType * @param string $separator * @return Zend_View_Helper_HeadTitle */
The function:
public function headTitle($title = null, $setType = Zend_View_Helper_Placeholder_Container_Abstract::APPEND)
So, as you can see the function params doesn't match with documentation and comments params.
As far as i checked there are no ways to actually set the separator...
For the later part, about setting the separator i was wrong, this can be done by setSeparator...
I've uploaded a patch which removes "@param string $separator" from the docblock.
This should bring the API documentation for the headTitle() method inline with the method's current signature.
Fixed in trunk r23386 merged to release branch r23388.

Looks serious enough to keep him out of the game against us... TT imo is a must win if we want any chance of going to a bowl.
"If baseball players speaking in front of Congress can be put on trial for perjury, then why shouldn't the politicians we vote for be held accountable to the same standard during their campaigns?" -Paraphrased from The Newsroom
Hate to see a player for any team go down. I'd rather our program just focuses on winning a game right now. And putting themselves in a position where questionable officiating won't determine the outcome.

Thank you to Kagavi & amestoplease for the sweet designs!
**** we are screwed. Their backup will light us up.
Like I said in anither thread. Davis Webb is a legit QB, and will get very important reps in oractice, and hes had gametime this season, too.
He will be ready to go.
Although if Brewer isnt ready to back Webb up next week, and if Webb goes down, then Tech will be in serious trouble.
Tech right now is facing what OSU faced last season with their QB's.
Tech is the onky team in the conference that can legitimately go 3 deep at QB.
Yay, a backup.
a backup you say, i see this going very well for us...
Tech has scored almost as many points since Mayfield went out, as they did when he was in. Their backup is pretty legit.
Webb was an Elite 11 QB, and really just needs reps as the starter.
Now, it seems, he will get them.
Mayfield just makes better decisions, and thats why he was the starter, but Webb has everything else you would want in a QB.
I am very pleased with the progress of this team in the last couple weeks. But face reality, there is zero chance of a bowl.

Kansas is not good. Especially when they've lost all interest in the game, being down 30+ points.

Not a math major, I see.
Kansas would not even be ranked in FCS, worst team I can remember and the coaching is just laughable.
I really don't see the TT game going very well for us.

Cause they have been so dominant against us, oh wait...
Does it matter who the QB for TTU is? This Mayfield kid would be #3 QB at best on this Iowa State team. He is a walk-on. Texas Tech is a system offense, you plug just about anyone in at QB, and they're gonna light it up. This Mayfield kid is living proof of it. It is also why none of their QB's last very long in the NFL...their weaknesses become exposed once they are out of the "system"

Between the ages of 10 and 12 I learned so much from all of the projects I was involved in. From there I got Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. Despite what you may think, my career was built very slowly. Yes, I love what I do, but at the same time I have things outside work I like to invest my time in, such as family and hobbies I enjoy doing.
More: You are working on a book called Melissa Explains It All: Tales from My Abnormally Normal Life, which is due out in the fall of 2013. In the memoir, you will pen some tales from what has been described as your rebellious years. Can you explain?
MJH: That would be my twenties. I was starring in Sabrina and living in L.A. Read the chapter that touches on my wild twenties. I did what every other kid did. I let loose, I wanted to be independent and I thought I was invincible.
More: Will there be a lot of jaw-dropping stories that will leave your fans in shock?
MJH: I think there will be, especially when I talk about a particular magazine cover I shot in 1999.
More: How did you avoid veering off in the wrong direction?
MJH: It was a combination of things. I credit a lot to my parents, especially my mom. I wasn't raised in a wealthy household. If anything, we were a low-income household, and I was trained to appreciate everything I got. I was taught I had to earn things and see firsthand how things do not come easily. It gave me a real sense of responsibility because so many people relied on me, such as the crew, the staff and my family.
More: That's a lot of pressure for a kid.
MJH: Yes, I felt a lot of pressure, especially with my family, while I was growing up, because I was helping out with putting food on the table. Now that I am the adult, I know those years educated me in how to be responsible and careful.
More: That sounds positive.
MJH: I am a positive, glass-half-full kind of girl. That message really guides me and keeps me happy.
More: Speaking of happy, you are teaming up with The Hub, which is a really fun network to watch.
MJH: Yeah, and they air Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. At Christmastime they'll even air a Sabrina marathon. Not only am I helping the network launch the new season of My Little Pony, but I also get to color in the world's largest coloring book with my boys.
More: You talked about your onetime hit Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. If you were really a witch and could grant yourself a wish, what would it be?
MJH: How about reversing Hurricane Sandy? I'll also wish that my boys grow up to be loving, caring, smart and thoughtful people who are dedicated to society.
More: After the Sabrina series ended, did you have to reinvent yourself since you were on the path to becoming an adult?
MJH: Believe it or not, I was 20 when I started filming Sabrina. I was an adult playing a kid again. My reinvention came after Sabrina ended. I was 27 years old and in the process of getting married. After the show wrapped, my day-to-day activity was gone and I needed to find things to do with my time.
More: Which were?
MJH: I did a lot of charity work, spent time with my husband and became a mom. I can say, when I did Dancing with the Stars that was a bit of a reinvention, because I was trying to be more of a glamorous woman. I felt it was time to wear heels, lipstick and pretty clothes. I never learned how to style myself because I always had people doing it for me. In fact, I am still trying to figure out how to put on eyeliner.

For the past few months I've been a technical editor for a book my good friend and colleague, Doug Finke, is writing entitled PowerShell for Developers which has just recently become available on Amazon. The purpose of the book is to show how easy it is to accomplish normally mundane, repetitive, or clunky tasks with PowerShell, a simple, concise scripting language that you already have installed on your box.
On my current project, I was recently tasked with setting up the build for our project. Of course, build scripts aren't exactly glorious or interesting in any way and the prospect of dealing with MSBuild's XML files gives me a fleeting sense of vertigo.
But fortunately, there's a much, much less painful way to make build scripts by using psake. Continue reading "Leveraging Templates in psake"

Kanye's latest video. What y'all think?
Kanye West - Coldest Winter
Latest News
Kanye West - Coldest WinterPosted byFebruary 23, 2010Filed under:48
Kanye's latest video. What y'all think?
I kinda stopped listenin to kanye. He said in his latest freestyle that he sold his soul to the devil.
all i have to say is why now? 808's came out mad long ago, he hasnt started working on a new album already? If not, then i feel bad for him cuz he's still stuck on the whole singing thing...
I'm still wondering what Kanye is on... lol. Karo that was like the first thing I noticed. Video was out there though.
Agreed with SLR819 and JermiahD that this video runs deeper than your surface demonic stuff.... kanyes definitely sold out....
I think the idea is fresh, some sort of viking norse mytholgical scenary with a fairy tale like story....a bit new....not bad...fnf Lupe all the way!
It's not my favorite video of Kanye's. Like a lot of his fans, I miss the original Kanye we all grew to love.
Great Production on The Video - But It doesn't mesh well with the song in my opinion. The Video almost comes across as a Movie Trailer.
All you need now are videos for Say You Will and Bad News and you'll have a video for every song on 808s. Kanye West - "Good Ass Job" - Coming later this year
Kanye, needs to come back with something 5 times better than 808's. i did enjoy the cd, but, I gave up listening to it once i found My college Dropout and LR. All Falls down, Breathe in Breathe out, Crack music and, Diamonds; to Coldest Winter? We aren't feelin it Kanye. but, if you aren't doing it for us, cool, more power to you, but as long as you put stuff on the market for us to buy, stick with your Arrogant drive that brought us all to Respect and Love your music in the first place.
Wow he went from Rap to WTF. I cant say u cant try something new but IMO i liked Kanye when he was on the real rap shit. "I say fuck the police thats how i treat'em we buy our way out of jail but we cant buy freedom" -Kanye thats the real Kanye if you ask me
i miss thee mixtape days and college dropout and late registration. and i guess graduation...somewhat
Idk if Kanye sold his soul but idc he's still talented and thats on him if he did. I still like his music but dont agree with the concept of this video yes I understand it but come on this is very demonic and creepy. But hey Kanye you still making them hits come back man stop hiding lOl. Lupe you still the man tho
I also agree with Keyon about tellin Kanye to go back to rappin, singing is definately not his thing
i dont really understand the video when it comes to the song, but I think the main thing i was payin attention to was...the same as most of the other guys that watched this video...the special effects
i love the song...the cd versoin. this video version wasnt terrible, but it wasnt that great... the video had some cool effects (besides the camera staring directly at the girls boobs) but i woulda called this Tim Burton's Coldest Winter..
The video is visually striking and the beat is dope. But the song sucks! Lupe, please tell Kayne to start rapping again and stop singing. he can't sing or hold a note for shit!
Sick vid. It kinda captures the whole feel of the 808's and Heartbreaks CD. That whole CD is a bleak experience, but it came out at a perfect time in my life..I remember hearing "Bad News" and thinking that Kanye was reading my mind..And if you havent already I recommend you check out the "Welcome to Heartbreak" vid too.

Showing the Love
Before they got competitive on Key Biscayne, the tennis pros of this year's Sony Open Tennis got social at the VIP Players Party presented by Bombay Sapphire. Serve masters like Novak Djokovic, Maria Sharapova and Andreas Seppi found their way to the JW Marriott Marquis where they mingled to the tunes of DJ Calvin Harris and enjoyed cocktails with names like Mansour Smash. The players were careful not to overdo it as game day loomed near. Their invited guests, however, were a whole different story. Photography courtesy of Bombay Sapphire

Hot Air Balloon Party (28 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I've always had a "thing" for hot air balloons. Just something about them that's awesome: quiet but loud, peaceful and majestic, and the colors! Your imagination in the limit! With this party, I wanted to match the removable fabric wall art (vinyl) and show moms and moms-to-be how cute it would be to host a baby shower using the same wall decor that you would then re-use in the baby's nursery.
The baby shower was focused on a few key elements: hot air balloons in pastel pinks, blues and greens, fluffy clouds, and items that could be re-used in a baby's room: the wall art, the baby bunting, the fluffy clouds, and the wire-art "Baby" letters.The sweets were the perfect addition! Check out the sugar cookies, chocolate-covered oreos, the cake, the cupcakes, and the cake pops! All so cute!
Last but not least, the whole table came together because of the ruffled table cloth from Cupcake with Character. I love the whimsical feel of something that most people wouldn't give a second thought to. But a good quality table cover can go a long way to pulling your table together.

Donations for Contest Prizes: TMNT-U-Donation
Q: I have lots of great TMNT art. Can I submit it to your group?
A: We're sorry, only TMNT University themed art will be accepted by our group.
Q: What is the difference between being a member and "enrolling"?
A: Being a member of the group is easy - just join. Enrollment means that you want to be a part of the TMNT U yearly class photo and the events.
Q: How do I enroll myself or my fancharacter in TMNT University?
A: Anyone is welcome to join the group as a member, but if you want to be part of the class photo, you must enroll your student by filling out the enrollment form for your year.
Q: I have a great group, too! Can I affiliate my group with your group?
A: Sorry, TMNT-U will only affiliate with other TMNT groups at this time.
Q: My fancharacter is not a turtle. Can s/he still appear in the photo?
A: Absolutely! All are welcome, including non-mutants and humans.
Q: I don't have a fancharacter. Can I still participate?
A: You are welcome to draw yourself in the TMNT U uniform, if you'd like to participate, but don't have a character.
Q: I don't have a digital art program on my computer. Can I submit a drawing in marker or color pencil?
A: If you are using color pencils or other traditional media, please make the colors dark and vibrant. Light colors will not be accepted, so we may ask you to re-color your submission.
Many free digital resources are now available - Gimp, Paint.net, and older versions of OpenCanvas are all free for your use to help color your drawings.
Q: I don't have a scanner. Can I take a photo of my drawing?
A: For quality purposes, photos of your submission will not be accepted unless we can't tell they're photos. Scanners are easily available at most copy service centers.
Q: Can I have my character in a special pose, or holding hands with Mike, or playing a prank on another character?
A: The TMNT canon characters will be the professors, and will be standing to the sides of the student group, so your character will not be able to interact with them. However, if you would like to be placed near a special character, we will put you as close to them as possible
Q: I want my character to be holding up a sign/wearing a huge hat/holding a weapon. Is that okay?
A: Don't forget that this is a class photo, so your character will be sitting in close quarters with other characters. If you plan on doing something that requires a lot of space, request to stand in the back or make sure that it doesn't cover up someone else's drawing!
Q: My character is older/younger than normal college age. Can she still attend, or be an instructor?
A: Your character should look college age for this photograph (teen or older). We're sorry, only canon characters will be instructors at TMNT-U.
Q: Can my character wear his/her uniform differently? Like, can they wear their tie as a headband or sag their pants?
A: Yes! You're allowed to customize your uniform quite a bit, but it must still be identifiable as the school uniform.
Q: What is the class schedule? What do the professors teach? How many years can my character attend TMNT University?
A: The TMNT University group isn't an RPG, it's just an art project. we don't have a class schedule or specific subjects that students must take, or anything like that. As such, you're welcome to do whatever you'd like! You can roleplay, make comics, give your character whatever class list, major, or instructors you'd like - whatever you want!

Every drop counts
"Volvo has more dealerships than others and whether it's regularplanned servicing or something unexpected we know we canleave that side of the business to them. They go the extra mile forus which keeps our utilisation up and allows us to really focus onour customers."
"We once had a truck break down in Belgium with a fuel filter problem. Volvo Action Service European coverage is included in our Gold Contract. It gives us total peace of mind. There is no need for me to take phone calls in the middle of the night as the responsibility for sorting the problem out is with the Volvo Dealer Network. I do not have to go through the procedure of sorting out the details of the account and the payment with the dealer before the repair can be completed. It is a huge, huge advantage. I can say that the Volvo's very seldom breakdown."
"What I find so rewarding is that I only have to pick up the phone to the Volvo dealer if there is a problem to know it will be sorted. Likewise, if there is a breakdown, they will call us to give progress reports but we know we can leave it to them. This allows us to focus on our customers."
"The reliability of our fleet is of interest to our customers as well. We are selling our service to them and they want to know what the reliability of our vehicles is and what cover we have in the event of a breakdown. Things happen and we need to give peace of mind to our customers."
"The standard of work at the Volvo dealership in Inverness is A1 and there is a quick turn-round. They really go the extra mile for us and help keep our vehicle utilisation up."
"Having all the trucks on 24 hour VAS cover takes the onus away from our own transport office, particularly for out of hours breakdowns. We wouldn't do it any other way now."
Donald MacRitchie, MacRitchie Highland Distribution
MacRitchie Highland Distribution operate 12 trucks including 7 Volvo's (6 FH tractor units and 1 FM9 4x2 curtainsider).
MacRitchie operate across Europe as well as the UK and have their whole fleet on repair and maintenance contracts with the local Volvo Dealer. For them placing their trucks on contract means never going back to organising the maintenance schedule themselves.
If your truck has come to an unexpected standstill, you'll soon be on the move again.

The old library building has been gutted and with all the stacks and desks cleared out, you can see what a beautiful piece of modern architecture it really is—not that suitable for a library, because the buildings functional accessories blocked the light and the sightlines.
But its soaring ceiling and open escalators provide a perfect setting for Doug Snow's enormous painting and for the Leonardo's eye-popping, theme-setting, quarter-of-a-million dollar work by Phillip Beesley. This piece alone will make the Leonardo a must visit, and it should also help inspire the curators to remember to prevent the Leonardo from becoming just another hands-on science experience, like the Exploratorium.
Instead, the mission is to examine the intersection of art and science—a very specific and somewhat elusive idea that was personified by Da Vinci and manifest in Beesley's architectural sculpture project—or whatever-it-is—called Hylozoic Soil.
Beesley, a Canadian architect, has been working with this weirdly beautiful idea for years; his "Hylozoic Ground" (and you'll be sorry if you don't click this link)
On his website, Beesley describes it as "a geotextile mesh that senses human occupants and responds with air movement produced by peristaltic waves of motion within distributed fields of lightweight pores."
Right. Beesley, a friendly soft-spoken man who is eager to explain his head in the clouds concepts to those of us stuck on the ground, explained it more simply to me when he was here supervising its installation.
The piece itself floats up three levels in the Leonardo, gently waving, randomly lighting and slightly liquid, like a sea anemone in the air, or an alien life form as imagined by Ray Bradbury. Delicate fronds are fitted with microprocessors and whiskery sensors pick up motion and respond to it—the piece is astonishingly beautiful as well as mind-blowing. It's art, but it knows you're there.I visited it during installation, saw the volunteers on cherry-pickers hooking it up,

Rated 5 out of 5 by PattyzMom More beautiful than the online picture I ordered these dinner plates online and they are even more beautiful than the online picture reveals.

I also purchased the matching salad plates and I couldn't be happier with the pairing. June 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by tcplains Excellent every day dishes I purchased these dishes for their vivid colors to coordinate with my kitchen colors.

The coordinating plates are also very nice. April 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Liz Vibrant colors make this pattern fun I, like others, fell in love with the vibranct colors. The pattern and colors go nicely with my everyday white china - great for mixing & matching with other dishes. Wish there were cups/mugs to go with plates. April 6, 2011

Rock and Roll Hall of Famers are dropping in at Red Butte Garden and Park City's Egyptian Theatre in the next couple days, and there's a great indie-rock band playing in between.
CROSBY, STILLS & NASH, RED BUTTE GARDEN, Thursday, 7:30 p.m., Sold Out
Back in the '80s and '90s, it seemed like Crosby, Stills & Nash came to Utah every summer, whether at Park West (now the Canyons), the Salt Palace or some other long-gone venue. Red Butte Garden seems like the ideal environment to see the folk-rock heroes do their thing. This will be my first time catching CSN, and I'm hoping the vocal harmonies that made the band's name are still sounding sweet.
BUILT TO SPILL, THE URBAN LOUNGE, Friday, 9 p.m., $20
Boise's finest come back to town, and I'm cheering the fact that Doug Martsch and Co. are playing The Urban Lounge because it's been a few years since we've had the chance to see Built to Spill in a small club. It's hard to believe it's been 15 years since the band released Perfect From Now On, their major-label debut and a delicious slab of indie-rock focused around Martsch's guitar wizardry and preference for long songs. The band is recording a new album this fall, to be released in 2013, so this must be a tour to tighten up their collective chops before hitting the studio. Helvetia and Revolt Revolt open the show.
MANZAREK-ROGERS BAND, EGYPTIAN THEATRE, Friday-Saturday, 8 p.m., $35-$45
You know Ray Manzarek as the keyboard player in The Doors, the man who lent Jim Morrison's dark lyrical forays their distinct sound (with all due credit to creative guitar player Robbie Krieger, who still plays with Manzarek regularly). For his current tour, Manzarek is bringing along another noteworthy guitarist in Roy Rogers, a slide-guitar killer best known for leading his own band, the Delta Rhythm Kings. Together, the Manzarek-Rogers Band tackle Doors classics, originals and covers. Seeing a Rock and Roll Hall of Famer in the cozy confines of Park City's Egyptian Theatre should be pretty sweet.

ZF-5832: removing pages from a Zend_Pdf's pages[] array causes some PDF readers to issue warning
Zend_Pdf, 37.4.2 (http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…) gives an example of cloning a page and using it as a template for other pages and then removing the template page. To remove the template page, the example code is
I'm noticing that the documents in which I am using this technique, when opened in Adobe Acrobat, cause a warning message: "The document's page tree contains an invalid node." I suspect that the gap left in the indices of the Zend_Pdf pages[] property by removing pages in this way is causing a null, "invalid" page in the document. Perhaps it would be better for the example to use:
array_splice($pdf>pages, $templatePageIndex, 1);
I'm noticing the same behaviour also using the proposed array_splice method.
Darn. I thought that might do it since it wouldn't leave a gap in the array indices, but hadn't had a chance to try it out as I didn't have a Windows box handy to try and open the resulting file in AA. It's too bad because the document views and prints fine after issuing the warning, but the warning seems seems to freak people out a little.
For me, the same error. Would like the error as quickly as possible to have resolved.
The same problem occurs after overwriting a page:
$pdf = Zend_Pdf::load('pdf/xyz.pdf'); $template = $pdf->pages[0]; $page = new Zend_Pdf_Page($template); $pdf->pages[0] = $page;
This should be the alternative to: $pdf = Zend_Pdf::load('pdf/xyz.pdf'); $template = $pdf->pages[0]; $page = new Zend_Pdf_Page($template); $pdf->pages[1] = $page;
But the same warning appears!!
Problem appears if deleted page is referred by document open action attribute or within bookmarks (and probably in some other places).
Fixed for ZF 1.9.0

Marisa Tomei, who shifts so easily from madcap comedy (Crazy, Stupid, Love) to dark drama (The Ides of March), is equally adept at shifting in her seat. Arriving at a poolside cabana at the Avalon Hotel in Beverly Hills wearing cuffed denim shorts and a rose-colored top, Tomei tosses off her leather thongs, folds up her aviator shades and within minutes turns her Jetsons-style molded plastic chair into an ersatz jungle gym. With the agility of an eight-year-old, she hangs nearly upside down, her legs draped over one armrest, her head propped on the other. "I'll just assume the analysand's position," she says with the easy laugh that finishes most of her sentences.
Humorous self-deprecation is not what you expect from an actress who won Oscar nominations for her roles in such serious fare as The Wrestler, in which she played an aging stripper, opposite Mickey Rourke, and In the Bedroom, in which she appeared with Sissy Spacek and Tom Wilkinson as a woman from the wrong side of the tracks. In Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, Tomei was riveting as the two-timing wife of a narcotics-numbed husband (Philip Seymour Hoffman) who spends her Thursdays having sex with his brother (Ethan Hawke). She transfixed Broadway audiences with her dance of the seven veils (minus veils) for Al Pacino's Herod in Oscar Wilde's Salome.
No, this is conduct more becoming the actress with serious comedy chops, the star who put herself on the Hollywood map some 20 years ago playing Mona Lisa Vito, Joe Pesci's big-haired, shoulder-padded, Brooklyn-accented girlfriend in My Cousin Vinny. Mona's rapid-fire court testimony illuminating the finer points of the 1964 Buick Skylark's axle arrangements and tires is a touchstone of movie-comedy history. Tomei was new to Hollywood, sleeping on a friend's couch, when she heard that that performance had earned her a nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. Her 1993 win was a major upset, given that her conominees were Vanessa Redgrave, Joan Plowright, Judy Davis and Miranda Richardson.
This Christmas, Tomei is back with another family-friendly comedy, Parental Guidance, starring Bette Midler and Billy Crystal. Tomei plays their daughter, Alice, a mother of three. When her husband (Tom Everett Scott) asks her to join him on a business trip, Alice reluctantly recruits her mom and dad—whose parenting style is at serious odds with her own—to stay with the kids. "Where you would say, 'Quit your whining,' " she warns them upon arrival, "we would say, 'Use your words.' " Crystal, who coproduced the movie, came up with the story after a five-day visit from his granddaughters several years ago. Although it's a comedy, there are touching scenes, too, including a climactic moment between Crystal and Tomei. "It's a little vaudeville and a little On Golden Pond," says the actress, who calls the film one of her best professional experiences. The movie's clash of generations simply reflects reality, she adds. "That's the way families are: totally sublime and completely distressing—and yours."
Tomei is not a mom in real life (unless her 11 godchildren count) but often plays one, always with striking ease and believability. "It's really fun to work with kids," she says. "You don't know what's going to happen. When they're in the zone, it's the best." In Parental Guidance, she was such a natural at nurturing that director Andy Fickman sent her a Mother's Day card. "Marisa is a gifted actress who makes subtle choices that are sometimes deeper than the lens can see," he says. "When you're watching her on the monitor in real time, you're like, 'Great!' But when you project to the big screen, what you thought was a great moment was twice as great because of the look Marisa did or the hair toss or squint of an eye."
Crystal first met Tomei when he was in preproduction for 1992's Mr. Saturday Night. "No one knew her very well," he says. "It was before Cousin Vinny. She was too young for what I was looking for, but I was so moved by her audition I called her agent and said, 'I can't cast her, but she's great.' A year later she wins the Oscar. When we thought of her for this part, she came in and said, 'Great. Now I'm too old.' Not at all. She's a perfect fit for Bette and me."
There's an ageless quality to Tomei, on camera and off. "Marisa's in her Hollywood-late-thirties," says producer Dan Bucatinsky, a friend who has known her since they were six-year-olds at summer camp in upstate New York. (Translation: She turns 48 this month.) "She doesn't snuff out the youthful spirits she's always had."
Many actresses have difficulty finding satisfying roles as the decades pass, but Tomei does not. "My career has gone against the grain," she says. "It's really working out for me so far. There are seasons for everything. You recognize that things pass, opportunities flow, and there are times to seize them and times to be fallow. I'm not working right now, and it's not just [because] 'Oh, I'm really tired.' It's a deeper recognition of a cycle, like a field that needs to lie fallow for a while to have another really good crop. I've learned to be easy on myself with that kind of timing."
She gravitates toward projects that "don't maybe satisfy in a very tidy way," she says. "I prefer a beautiful mess. I'm drawn to things that are really not conventional."
John Cusack had known Tomei for years before costarring with her in the 2008 political satire War, Inc. "Marisa dug the politics of the piece," he says. "It's a dumb sports analogy, but there are a lot of gym fighters who talk a good game when the pressure's not on, but when you're into day 40 of a grueling shoot in Bulgaria and you see someone continually caring about what she does that much—Marisa cares so deeply about doing good work. She wears everything on her sleeve and says, 'Take me as I am'—and then just brings it."
That's even harder than it sounds. The Wrestler, she says, "was gut-wrenching material, emotionally and physically challenging." Before she did her first striptease, in front of a room full of extras, "I downed a number of shots of whiskey," she admits. "I definitely felt the dual thing of feeling so vulnerable but also empowered, because the guys, when they're watching you, they're really like little children, wide-eyed, and you could see where they'd give you anything you wanted. There's a certain kind of freedom and control: You're hovering over them; they're little and you're tall. I had heard strippers talking about it, but I didn't know I'd feel that way acting it." Rourke sent her a bouquet of flowers afterward. "He was a complete gentleman," says Tomei.
There's a searching quality at the heart of Tomei's characters, both the comedic and tragic roles, a vulnerability that softens the contours of even their most questionable behavior. Take the lusty middle school teacher who has her way with Steve Carrell's recently separated character in Crazy, Stupid, Love. "Marisa brings real humanity to the people she plays," says Carell. "When you watch her in a role, there's a sense that you're only seeing what her character is allowing you to see, but there is much more that's hidden."
Jonah Hill confesses to being abjectly in love with Tomei, and not only because she was the first celebrity to give him props. "She came up to me in a restaurant the day after Knocked Upcame out and said, 'I love you—you're awesome,' " he remembers. "When she walked away, my friends were like, 'That was crazy!' " What sealed his adulation was playing her son in Cyrus, an offbeat comedy that depicts the overly close relationship of a single parent and an adult child. The arrangement becomes increasingly problematic as Tomei's character tries to date a new man (John C. Reilly). "My favorite movie I've ever been in is Cyrus," says Hill—high praise, given his Oscar nomination for his role in Moneyballwith Brad Pitt. "And my favorite scene I've ever shot is the one of just me and Marisa crying on the bed. I'm basically saying, 'This guy's not right for you,' and she's admitting that she's made a lot of mistakes and that our relationship is fucked up. I've never had a moment connecting with an actor so much. She and I have remained good friends. I really treasure her."
Tomei grew up in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn. Her father is a retired attorney, and her mother, a retired schoolteacher, now leads culinary and cultural tours in New York City. Tomei went to Edward R. Murrow, a magnet high school with an emphasis on the arts. "We had a drama teacher who brought a lot of joy into my life," she says. Her parents introduced her and her younger brother, Adam, also now an actor, to Broadway shows and local productions. "My mom would take us to the Heights Players," a community theater in Brooklyn, she says, "and afterward you could have your birthday party onstage. So all these things added to the magic of what theater was. Also, seeing how happy it made my parents—that transference of 'Oh, I want to make them happy.' "
Her parents' approach to child rearing was liberal and supportive. "Whatever you want to do, we are behind you," is how Tomei describes it. "My mom was into consciousness-raising groups. She'd have them at our house. Women were coming into their own when I was a little girl. She raised us with that idea, to be who you are."
In the summer, the family went upstate to Goldens Bridge, a community also known as "the Colony," which was started by immigrant socialists in the late 1920s. "It was like A Walk on the Moon," says Tomei, referring to the 1999 movie with Viggo Mortensen and Diane Lane, set in the Catskills. Homes were arranged around a lake, connected by a few dirt roads. "The Colony had a counterculture, hippie vibe," says Bucatinsky, whose parents also had a house there. The center of activity was a barn where skits and talent shows were performed. "No one locked their doors or wore shoes," says Tomei. "Everyone knew everyone, and everyone was your mom. It was really heaven. Sometimes when I have good dreams, I dream of being there, of that kind of safety. If you had something going on with your mom or dad, there were a lot of older people around and you could find your way. For me it was the theater. I'd sit by the people who did the writing for the shows and be their little helper. There were ways to mature outside your nuclear family that were really helpful."
In high school, she starred in Pippinand A Midsummer Night's Dream. After graduation, in 1982, Tomei went to Boston University to study theater. She dropped out after a year to work in New York. "Oh, my God," she says. "I didn't know what the hell I was doing. I didn't have any connections. I'd just get the newspaper, and if it said, 'We need someone to dance for the Grand Ole Opry,' I'd think I could do it: I've taken tap lessons! I would just go on anything. Even as a joke I wouldn't be able to audition for the Opry now. Where did I get the cojones?" She landed parts in Off Broadway plays, then got a one-line role in Garry Marshall's The Flamingo Kid. That led to a recurring part on As the World Turns; a YouTube clip shows her playing a dirt-smudged Cinderella in a dream sequence featuring Phyllis Diller as Fairy Godmother.
In 1987, Tomei nabbed a role as Lisa Bonet's roommate in the Cosby Show spinoff A Different World. She has since become godmother of Bonet's three children and was present at the birth of two. "She was a stellar support, holding my hand," says Bonet, who changed her name to Lilakoi Moon in 1992. "My son was born in a major rainstorm at 3 in the morning, and Marisa was there. She'd come with me to my midwife appointments, read everything, watch the DVDs. She has a very thorough curiosity." Asked to sum up her friend, Moon settles on "delicious. And hilarious. She's a delicious, hilarious, ethereal delight."
Tomei has made more than 40 films—from Slums of Beverly Hills and Wild Hogsto The Lincoln Lawyer—all while keeping a hand in theater. "I like all the lives I get to live within one life," she says of acting, "the little details of cultures I get to learn about, exploring the different themes, the things that are important to a particular character or story. I feel they come to me for a reason, to reflect or bring up something in my own life."
Her forties find her feeling comfortable in her own skin. "No matter what age you are, there are cycles of where you put your energy, things you're trying to let go of and to cultivate," she says. Now her emphasis is on "making more and more heartfelt and authentic decisions. You have to keep your eye on the prize, be more courageous, more connected to life."
Tomei has two other films ready for release: Love, Marilyn, a documentary about Marilyn Monroe in which she joins other stars in reading the icon's newly revealed diaries and letters, and Inescapable, the story of a man who escaped persecution in Syria but returns 25 years later to look for his daughter, who disappeared on a business trip. Tomei plays Fatima, the fiancée he left behind. She transformed herself into an Arab woman for the part and perfected the accent. "It was heavy subject matter and took a lot out of me," she says of the shoot in South Africa.
Over the holidays she'll have time to lighten up—and cook. Her extended family, who have been known to travel to Italy en masse for vacation ("craziness, but a lot of fun"), are making an effort to preserve their traditional Italian recipes. "We put names in a hat, and someone from the younger generation will pick someone from the older generation who will teach them one dish a year," she says. "You just have to have that cheesecake, that certain sauce, you know?" Or that zeppole. Two years ago, Tomei and her brother resurrected an old family recipe for the sugary fried dough that had been deemed too difficult for 21st-century schedules (not even the older generations felt that they had time to do it). "Ultimately it wasn't that hard," she says, "but the surprise, to see all my aunts and uncles, and my dad, as if he were six years old: 'My God! You made zeppole!' They lined up at the kitchen door. It was the most thrilling thing."
Tomei splits her time between homes in New York and Los Angeles and until recently had a long-term relationship with actor Logan Marshall-Green (Prometheus), 12 years her junior. Asked if she has any comments on younger men, she allows that "variety is the spice of life" and laughs. As for marriage, which hasn't yet been part of her life script, "I feel differently about it at different times," she says. "Basically my pattern is that I've been in long, monogamous relationships—12 years, four years. I'm really just interested in true love and intimacy, and whatever package that comes in is OK with me. I haven't been that focused on marriage as a goal in and of itself."
Not that there hasn't been opportunity. Before ending our conversation to go back to shooting Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street, Jonah Hill, 28, has a final request: "Will you ask Marisa if she'll marry me?"
