This election year taught me many lessons. I didn't realize the haughtiness of human thought processes and beliefs until I saw them manifest in social media. Some of my brothers and sisters in the "mature" crowd unfortunately used the platform as a bully pulpit for intolerance and disdain. As the mother of teenagers, I have had more than my share of conversations about internet etiquette. They now realize that social media is a "footprint," a personal signature, and it is critical to be careful of how you brand yourself. I didn't realize at the time I was conversing with my own teenagers that the advice given to them could be of value to their elders, my "friends."
The first lesson I learned is that I really don't care what my "acquaintances" think about politics — unless they are running for political office. Quite honestly, I don't feel the need to let all of my social media "friends" know my position on politics. I suspect they don't care. As I quite innocently peeked at profiles and wished happy birthday to acquaintances, I found myself assaulted by links to articles and hate speak. Wow! I just wanted to wish someone happy birthday.
Scrolling through pages of crazy talk I began to question myself. I became frustrated and incensed when I read the mean spirited comments about society and the world around me by people I thought were my friends. The anonymity of the computer made bullies out of adults. Not strangers, but people I called friends.
A co-worker was imploring me (and 500 of her closest friends) to go see a movie and read articles to get the real truth about the news story du jour. A neighbor sent me (and 255 of her closest friends) a less-than-riveting article on social security, which was followed by thousands of venomous comments from strangers. I was dizzy from following links that sent me down dark and scary rabbit holes occupied by hate mongers and cocky, brazen angry people. What did I do with this lesson? Stay tuned. Thankfully my second lesson was soon to follow.
Negative energy is like the flu — it's contagious and often subtle. You shake hands with someone, and the next thing you know, you're lying in bed achy and sick for two weeks. The same can be said for the negative energy emitted from social media. You peek at profile updates and the next thing you know, you're mad at the world. At least the flu only lasts a few weeks; unlike the political season, which lasts for months.
Staring at my computer screen I was made incredulous by the comments. I would look at people around me shaking my head, suspecting that they too, held similar beliefs. Yard signs and bumper stickers that were once innocuous became tethered to angry anonymous mobs that had smiling pictures linked to their names. They posed with family and pets, enjoying vacations and having fun with friends. They appeared to be living a double life, smiling for the camera by day and propagating anger and animosity by night.
Who are these people, and why are they my friends? Have no fear for there is an inoculation available just the same. There is an arrogance that comes with anonymity. I can't believe that this behavior is separate from the person. It is an extension of the person. I slowly began to realize that I was gifted with information that I would never have been able to see. Being invited inside of the dark labyrinth can be scary, but once you open your eyes and focus, there's much to be seen and learned. This led me to my third and most important lesson.
Managing and filtering the impact of social media has saved me from much frustration. As tempting as it may be, hiding from it is not necessarily the correct answer. It is quite O.K. to remove people from your world who can cause you frustration and whose values don't align with yours. I learned that opinions matter, but that delivery and tact matter more. In teaching my children about branding themselves, I learned much about the brand of my acquaintances and friends. I learned that my circle needs to be smaller, and that those in the circle can be hovered over, hidden, and if necessary, deleted.
Life is short, but frustration is not. We are largely in control of the pain we expose ourselves to. The crowd — and the mode in which it delivers frustration — changes with the times. I am learning to be nimble in my efforts to minimize its damaging impact. I didn't realize that nestled in the lesson I taught my children about branding themselves would be a lesson for me. There are real friends, and there are acquaintances. Both groups are in complete control of their own brand, and you can choose to buy or boycott. You will benefit from the clarity.

ZF-8741: Zend_Cache_Core::getIdsMatchingAnyTags() not implemented
Cache backends implementing the extended interface all have a getIdsMatchingAnyTags() method. However, this is not implemented in Zend_Cache_Core, so the backend method can not be called.
A new method Zend_Cache_Core::getIdsMatchingAnyTags() should be created similar to Zend_Cache_Core::getIdsMatchingTags().
Thank You for report, I will be happy if You try trunk code ( SVN r20815)
The impementation looks fine.
However, there ought to be unit tests that test calling all extended backend functions through Zend_Cache_Core, not just load, save, test, clean. And that would mean having Zend_Cache_Backend_Test implement the extended interface to make those methods available.
I could do that if there's interest for it.
Yes, it's right, Sven. We should implement missing test and do several changes that the test needs.
merged SVN trunk r20815 to 1.10 branch at SVN r21290.

Remember when the economy collapsed a few years ago?
I bet you do.
Well, guess what? There's (another: The Company Men, Inside Job, Up in the Air, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps) movie about it!
Margin Call is J. C. Chandor's debut feature as writer/director and it's pretty impressive to see the cast he was able to assemble as well the performances he got out of them.
The first to sell from this year's Sundance fest, Roadside Attractions and Lionsgate purchased the film last week, and with Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Jeremy Irons, Stanley Tucci and Demi Moore on the marquee, the studio(s) might just make back their nickel.
But Margin Call is more than an all-star fest as the ensemble individually throw down terrific little character studies.
The film is set at a Manhattan investment firm and takes place over a 24-hour span in 2008. With the financial crisis just taking shape, junior analyst (Zachary Quinto) sees the firm's mortgage-backed securities arm is about to go belly up.
The moral dilemma: Do the advisers notify clients to jump ship, or do they betray the best interests of their investors, make a killing, plea ignorance and walk away rich?
CEO (Jeremy Irons) flies in to size up the situation and, as he does, each character reveals the carnal carnage of the economy of the last three years.
This is a very talky movie and reminded me of something David Mamet would write, but it speaks to the layman (notwithstanding needing a quickie MBA in finance to muddle through some of the industry doublespeak) and gives us a diversity of emotion and character development that really works.
Director Chandor, during the Q&A after a screening, said the movie was shot in New York over just 17 days. Not only is this a feat worth recognizing, but the finished product shows a polish which may be a reflection of a young filmmaker on the rise.
This movie will not change history, but with solid performances and compelling subject matter, you get a film worth seeing.
The character study also adds heft to the everyman notion: the more money you made during the financial meltdown, the bigger monster you may be.

See...now I suddenly care about swimming....well done benman and Cy-Hawk Series, well done. Anyone have a livestream for the swimming thing (match, meet, game..what do they call those things)? Who's announcing...hell...tell me anything about swimming...I gotta know!!!!
Seriously, best of luck to the swimmers. They get my respect as a guy who can't even go too fast on land under my own power, much less in water.
But it's BASKETBALL TIME!!!!!! Although this year it arrived with Michigan and BYU, traditionally the Iowa game really signals "it's go time" for basketball. Guys, keep up the Hilton domination started by the ISU women.

Three members of Jefferson Starship appeared at the Rock Hall on Friday for an afternoon of performance and conversation, including Chris Smith, David Freiberg (who was also an original member of Quicksilver Messenger Service), and Hall of Fame Inductee Paul Kantner (Jefferson Airplane). The group was in town to perform an evening of music with Cleveland's Contemporary Youth Orchestra – Kantner mentioned it would be the first time they ever worked with an orchestra in a live concert.
During the afternoon session at the Rock Hall the group performed songs from the very first Jefferson Starship album, Blows Against the Empire (1970 - technically a Paul Kantner solo record that was the beginning of the band), including "Baby Tree" and "Have You Seen The Stars Tonight," and thrilled the audience with the Quicksilver Messenger Service song "Pride of Man." Kantner and Freiberg then talked about what it was like for the two of them living in San Francisco in the late 1950s and early 1960s when, as Freiberg said, the Beatniks were still hanging around. The most interesting conversation came when Kantner described how he had conceived of Jefferson Starship in the early 1970s as a collective of musicians who all would bring new ideas into the mix and contribute to the songwriting as a group effort – an idea that was inspired by communal living. Blows Against the Empire contains performances by a who's who of the 60s countercultural scene including Grace Slick, Jack Casady, Jerry Garcia, Mickey Hart, David Crosby, Graham Nash, Harvey Brooks, and David Freiberg. Kantner and Freiberg explained how they viewed the musical core of the Jefferson Starship sound as the use of three part vocal harmony that they learned by listening to groups like the Weavers.
On Sunday night I had the chance to see the group perform live at the Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica with the CYO. The students in the orchestra were amazing and added new layers of music and magic to classics such as "Miracles" and "White Rabbit." Bravo!

Trip to Piney Grove area for Red-cockaded Woodpeckers. Geoff Giles says there are 2 spaces left, so if you held back to let others get a chance, you can sign up with Geoff: tylerandal2 at aol.com or use contact form. Note the departure time is 4:00 am from Colony Square Shopping Center. Mike Wilson from the Center for Conservation Biology will meet us there and show us where the birds are. Please register with Geoff in advance.
Mike Wilson from the CCB will be our leader and educator. Mike has arranged with The Nature Conservancy for a limited number of our members to visit this protected site. In past trips, participants have seen Red-cockaded Woodpecker nest sites and had good views of adult birds at and just after dawn when they exit their cavities. In January 2011, Mike Wilson presented our Club monthly program on the Red-cockaded Woodpecker and described the research and work done to bring back the breeding birds at this site. So the expert will be leading this field trip for us! Thanks, Mike!Due to the sensitive nature of the site, the group is limited to 15 participants, and WBC membership and pre-registration are required. Spotting scopes are a PLUS for this site if you have one.Those wishing to carpool and/or caravan from Williamsburg will depart Colony Square Shopping Center (Jamestown Road) a 4:00 AM to to ride the 4:30 AM ferry over to Surry. Trip participants will meet leader Mike Wilson at ~ 5:15 AM at Adam's Peanuts in Wakefield. Mike will lead the group to the Piney Grove site to be on site by dawn to have the best chance of seeing the woodpeckers first exit their cavities.
See the May 15 article in the Virginian-Pilot's PilotOnline.com about the Red-cockaded Woodpecker conservation efforts at Piney Grove.

On Saturday 19 May, 22 people participated in the latest event in support of the Western Shore Marshes IBA. This bird survey and clean-up was held at Gosnold's Hope Park and was a joint venture between our two bird clubs and the City of Hampton through their Hampton Clean City Commission. Other participants included master naturalist and 9 members from Scout Troop 18.
The day was divided into two 2-hour segments. We conducted a bird survey during the first segment, and we identified 51 different species. Highlights included a nice view of a male and female Blue Grosbeak and several views of Brown-headed Nuthatches which is a species of interest for this IBA. The remaining participants showed for the second segment, and we canvassed the entire park.
As expected, the majority of the litter was found along the shoreline which is subjected to tidal and storm surges. With the litter disposed of and species tallied, the members departed leaving this portion of the IBA in better condition.
Thanks to the following bird club/naturalist members who were able to support this event: Bill Ferris, Cheryl Jacobson, Jan Lockwood, Jane Frigo, Betty Peterson, Sharon Burton, Bryan Barmore, Brent Slaughter, Laura Slaughter, Tom Charlock, and Ken Lipshy.

The next scheduled event for our Important Bird Area (IBA) is a survey/clean-up at Gosnold's Hope Park on 19 May beginning at 8 am. This will be in conjunction with some volunteers through the Hampton Clean City Commission (HCCC). Details are as follows: Arrive at 8 am and conduct a bird survey of the area until around 10:00. From 10:00 until around noon, perform litter removal. Wear appropriate clothing for the weather conditions (hat, sunscreen) and bring water/snacks as desired. Trash bags and grabbers will be provided, but ensure you bring work gloves for handling the trash. Directions to the park: From Williamsburg, take I-64 East and exit onto Mercury Blvd toward the Coliseum. Take the King St exit and turn left toward Langley AFB. Turn right onto Little Back River Rd and continue to Gosnold's Hope Park which will be on your left. Go through the main entrance and continue to the boat launch on the right side of the road where we'll assemble before starting. If you want to carpool meet at 7 am at Colony Square Shopping Center on Jamestown Road.
At the May meeting, the three recipients of the 2011 Ornithology Research Grants will make a short presentation of their research.
Megan Kobiela—Does mercury contamination affect risktaking behaviors in a small songbird? Tradeoffs between eating and being eaten.
Jenna R. Carlson—The effect of mercury on molt and flight performance in European Starlings.
Kenton Buck—An evolutionary approach to investigating mercury contamination in songbirds.
Plan to join us on May 16 at 7:30 pm in Room 150, Millington Hall on the W&M campus. Joanne and Alex Andrews will be providing the refreshments. Don't forget to use your parking permit.

Getting there Fly Delta Air Lines out of New York or American Airlines out of Chicago; Russia's Aeroflot flies between New York, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Before you even book your flight, wrap your head around Russia's visa requirements, which can be complicated.
Where to stay For a hip, energetic spot, try the Artistic Hotel, which opened across the street from Red Square and the Kremlin in 2009. Each room, designed by a different Russian artist, is stunning and modern. Just steps away from the Hermitage Garden is the Golden Apple, a 5-star boutique hotel that's worth the splurge. If you're on a budget, consider the more affordable Melody Hotel, which is walking distance from the famous Arbat Street.
What to see Red Square is the obvious—and best—place to start your trip. Enter through Resurrection Gate (stop to admire its red towers and famous green spires), then spend the afternoon admiring the sites: Saint Basil's Cathedral, Lenin's Tomb, GUM department store. Although it's right off the square, You may want to save the Kremlin for the following day, depending on your energy level. Spend another fun afternoon at Gorky Park, home to amusement rides and a giant Ferris wheel.

AMES, Iowa – The Arizona State University wrestling team dropped its fifth consecutive dual of the season on Friday, falling to Iowa State by a final score of 23-18 in Ames, Iowa.
The Sun Devils (7-10, 2-1 Pac-12) got off to a decent start, scoring decision victories from Matt Kraus and Joel Smith at 141 and 157 to take an early 6-3 lead.
A fall by Ray Waters to ISU's #18 Michael Moreno at 165 pounds would set the tone for the rest of the match however, as the Cyclones took a 9-6 (6-3, 1-1 Big 12) lead at that point and never relinquished it.
Jake Meredith dropped a 9-1 major decision to #8 Kyven Gadson at 197 pounds and Ryak Finch pinned Dalton Miller in the 125-pound matchup to seal the deal.
ASU returns to action next Saturday, Feb. 9 in a Pac-12 matchup against Oregon State in Corvallis, Ore.

text: "Thank you very much. And, hello, Phil, I'm Johnny Cash. I would like to thank Sam Phillips, and I'd like to thank Jack Clement, who steered the career and directed recording activities of myself for sound, as well as the recording activities of a lot of other people, including Elvis, and Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, and my dearest buddy Roy Orbison. By the way, I'd like to make one correction, if you don't mind: the store on Beale Street was Lansky Brothers, not Lasky Brothers, it was Lansky Brothers. That's where we hung out and bought those shining LeMay [?] clothes, back in the mid-'50s. Just down the street was the home of the blues record shop where I spent all my money, and realized some of my first dreams, and that was actually owning the recordings of some of my heroes - people that had influenced me and made an impression on my life. Of course, there was the Hanks - Hank Williams and Hank Snow, and the Carter Family, the country folk in the hill country, they called them back then. But there were also other stations that I listened to in Memphis - lived near Memphis in Northeast Arkansas. I listened to WHBQ, and they had a program on there called Red Hot and Blue, where they played back then what they called race music, and there I heard some of my earliest heroes - and it was at the Home of the Blues Record Shop where I bought my first recording of Sister Rosetta Tharpe singing those great gospel songs. And I can still see Sister Rosetta playing that Stella Guitar (sorry Mr. Fender, but it was a Stella that Sister Rosetta was playing.) And I bought some of the recordings by Alan Lomax, who did some feel recordings back in the '30s and '40s - he took his wire recorder into the alleys and honky-tonks in Mississippi and South Carolina and Louisiana, and I listened to those by the hour and by the day, and the week, and the month, and they influenced a lot of my writing songs like "Big River" and "Get Rhythm." Some of the earlier songs that I wrote were influenced by people like Sister Rosetta Tharpe and by Pink Anderson and Blind Lemon Jefferson, and some of the Carolina Street Singers. So I don't know, maybe was trying to make sure that I belonged here tonight, and make you see that I might actually possibly belong in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I'm extremely proud of it, and whether I belong here or not, I'm going to take it off and show it off at home with June, who's here with me tonight, my wife June. I've always had a big family that I've been proud of, and while we're at it, my daughter Roseanne Cash is here. My daughter Carline Carter, and my son, who is ready, Phil, John Carter Cash, is here tonight. I've taken too much time. I want to thank you very much, and as Little Richard said at the beginning of this program - he and I were talking - he said, "God is watching over things tonight," and I feel that, Richard. I thank you for reminding me of that. And I asked June, "What should I say when I get up there," and she said, "Just as God to guide you and it'll be all right." I find that works - not only tonight, but every day of my life. Thank you very much and God bless you all."

Born: 1909.
At 15:00 a major review is conducted, with Komarov, Khrunov, Gorbatko, Kamanin, and other VVS officer meeting with OKB-1 leaders Mishin, Tsybin, Severin, Alekseyev, Anokhin, and other engineers. Film is shown of the difficulties in the zero-G aircraft of cosmonauts attempting to exit from the 660 mm diameter hatch. In four sets of ten attempts, the cosmonaut was only to get out of the hatch half the time, and then only with acrobatic contortions - the inflated suit has a diameter of 650 mm, only 10 mm less than the hatch. Mishin finally concedes the point. But installation of the hatch in Soyuz s/n 3 and 4 is not possible - the spacecraft are essentially complete, and to add the hatch would delay their flight 6 to 8 months. Then Mishin makes the astounding assertion that Gorbatko and Khrunov are not adequately trained to be engineer-cosmonauts, and without this he will not allow them into space. He suggests OKB-1 engineers Anokhin and Yeliseyev instead. After outraged response, Severin finally sinks this suggestion by pointing out that no space suit has been prepared for Anokhin, and that it will take two to three months to make one. Kamanin is astounded that Mishin has pushed Anokhin all the way up to Smirnov and the VPK without even knowing he could not possibly fly due to this restriction. It again points out their poor management. Finally Mishin agrees that spacecraft s/n 5 and 6 and on will have 720 mm hatches. The ECS for the suits for those missions will have to be changed from a backpack configuration, with the equipment rearranged around the waist of the cosmonaut. The crews for the flight will be an experienced VVS pilot cosmonaut as commander, and (Kamanin realizes he may have to concede) a VVS engineer as flight engineer cosmonaut. They will have to complete training by 1 October 1966.
In turn, Factory 918 insisted on a final decision on Soyuz crews. They cannot build 16 of the custom-built spacesuits for all possible candidates for the flights (8 from VVS and 8 from OKB-1). It was therefore agreed that the commanders of the first two missions would be Komarov and Bykovsky, with Nikolayev and Gagarin as their backups. It was finally decided to assume that the other crew members would be either Khrunov and Gorbatko from the VVS, or Anokhin and Yeliseyev from OKB-1.

Dr. Smith: "Most veterinarians today recommend topical flea prevention products like Frontline® Plus, Advantage®, Advantix®, or bioSpot. These once-a-month liquid solutions that you apply directly on the skin of your pet's back and neck provide excellent protection against infestations, will eliminate any fleas already on your pet, and are easy to use. Flea collars such as the Seresto collar, can also provide good protection, but in areas where fleas are prevalent, the topical products have historically been more effective.
Keeping the grass in your yard mown and using yard flea sprays in areas your pet frequents are also helpful."
Can't I just wait until my dog has fleas and then eliminate them?
Dr. Smith: "If you wait until you see fleas on your dog, you're too late. Now you have a flea problem that is a lot harder - and more expensive - to deal with. For every flea you see on your pet, there may be hundreds more in your home. Fleas often hitch a ride on your pet into your home and jump off to live in your carpet, furniture, or your pet's bed, reproducing in higher and higher numbers.
With fleas, prevention is critical. Don't wait. Start your pet on a flea prevention program and don't stop until at least two months after the first hard frost. If you live in a warmer climate, keep your pet on a flea prevention program year-round. Eliminating a problem often means repeatedly treating the home and spraying the yard."
Are fleas harmful to my dog?
Dr. Smith: "They can be. The most common medical problem with fleas is Flea Allergy Dermatitis (FAD), which can cause extreme itching and discomfort in dogs. Dogs with atopy (inhaled and contact allergies) are more likely to develop FAD.
"When dogs itch, they scratch themselves with their nails or chew on the area that itches. Scratching and biting can lead to hair loss, skin abrasions, and potential infection. And think of their quality of life. If you've ever experienced the itch from a sunburn that peels, think about how miserable you would be if that's how your life was day in and day out."
"Severe infestations can also cause anemia from blood loss, especially in puppies and kittens, and there is also a risk of tapeworms, which fleas also transmit."
Can I use more than one flea and tick product on my dog?
Dr. Smith: "Maybe. In most cases, one product should do the job. However, there are some situations in which using two products together can be more effective. Refer to our compatibility chart as a guide for which products may be able to be used together, and consult your veterinarian if you are unsure."
How do I know if my pet has fleas?
Dr. Smith: "The easiest way to tell if your pet has fleas is by seeing adult fleas on your pet or the flea feces (often called "flea dirt") on your pet's skin. Brush your pet over a damp white sheet or paper towel and look closely under the hair and on the skin for small dark specks. Flea feces contain digested blood and they will turn a reddish brown color when moistened with a small amount of water."
"Flea combs, which have very narrow teeth, are also effective in determining if your pet has fleas."
Do flea control products also control ticks?
Dr. Smith: "Many do. Some even help repel mosquitoes. As you probably know, ticks can transmit a number of diseases, including Lyme Disease, and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, while mosquitoes can be carriers of West Nile Virus and Heartworm - all of which can be very serious diseases. We recommend choosing a topical monthly product like K9 Advantix® II which provides the broadest protection possible against these different potentially dangerous pests. It is important to also use a monthly heartworm preventative. A flea and tick preventative that also repels mosquitoes does not provide adequate protection against deadly heartworm disease."
What time of year should I use flea and tick products?
Dr. Smith: "Start your prevention program a month before the warm spring weather arrives if you live in the northern portion of the country, and don't quit too early. Many people stop using flea products as soon as it gets cool outside and wind up fighting a flea infestation. If you live in the southern states, protect your pet every month, all year."

Panama City - Alzheimers. By age 85, 30% to 50% of adults show signs of the disease. For family caregivers, dealing with Alzheimer's effects on their loved one can be heartbreaking and stressful. That's why a local in-home senior care provider is spreading the word about a new, and free resource for families. The online training module is called "CARE: Changing Aging Through Research and Education." It helps families better understand the disease and how to cope with it, as well as offer tips on how to care for the 60% to 70% of Alzheimer's patients still living at home.
Lee Harrell owns the Panama City "Home Instead" Senior Care center. His company provides in-home care for many Alzheimer's patients, and also provides resources for family members. He says the stress of caring for a loved one effected by the disease can take really take a toll on family caregivers. "They have the most difficult job because, number one, they don't know how long the dementia will last until the person passes. Sixty-four percent of all family caregivers pass before the person who actually has Alzheimer's, 64% and it's because of stress," said Harrell.
Harrell says the more family members are educated about the progression of memory loss, they better they are able to cope with it. Which is why the new online module is so helpful. "Many times family members are so busy caring for their loved ones or at work, they don't have time to go to a professional classroom setting. What the online module will do is offer 5 different learning sessions that they can go through, they can do it at their speed with the time they have available," said Harrell.
The website to access the online module www.HelpForAlzheimersFamilies.com, which is also under Newslinks on wjhg.com. Home Instead also offers family caregiver training sessions in person at their location on Forest Park Circle in Panama City.
A very famous country singer, Glen Campbell, is himself dealing with Alzheimer's disease. His Goodbye tour is making a stop in Panama City later this month. Campbell will be performing at the Marina Civic Center on July 15th at 7pm. Tickets start at $32.50, you can get them online or at the box office.

Guayabitos and La Peñita, A Study in Contrast
Published Apr 1, 2009 - (Updated Aug 30, 2013)
Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Winter/Spring 2009 issue.
These two neighboring oceanfront towns in Riviera Nayarit, 70 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, couldn't be more dissimilar. Guayabitos, a preferred beach vacation destination for Mexican families, features surf so gentle, it is often referred to as "the largest natural pool in the world." La Peñita, on the other hand, is a no-frills Mexican fishing village, where the biggest draw is its residents, a tight community of local and international folk working together to improve the town's infrastructure and, thus, its tourist appeal.
Both towns do share a common attribute, however. "People still say, 'Buenos dias!' as you walk by, even if they don't know you," commented Ja'Qui, a seasoned entertainer who went to school with Jimmy Hendrix and once shared the stage with performers of international stature such as The Supremes and Bill Cosby and has called the region "home" for the past 10 years or so.
Rincón de Guayabitos
The origin of the peaceful town of Rincon de Guayabitos (or simply Guayabitos, as it's commonly known) can be traced back to pre-Hispanic times. The bay was first explored by the Spaniards in the 1500s and subsequently used by British and Dutch pirate ships looking to benefit from the area's riches.
It was during the 1970s that Mexico's government put the area in the limelight with the creation of the Banderas Bay Trust (Fideicomiso de Bahia de Banderas). As a result, Guayabitos was developed as a vacation destination, with a number of small hotels, tourist shops, restaurants, trailer parks and a residential area.
Today, Guayabitos continues to be one of the most sought-after beachfront vacation destinations for thousands of middle-class Mexican families, who flock to the area throughout the year, particularly during Semana Santa, Mexico's Spring Break equivalent. By the same token, an increasing number of budget-conscious tourists from Canada and the United States are including Guayabitos in their "must-visit" lists as they explore Puerto Vallarta and surroundings.
"We have a large number of return clients from Canada who choose the same suite year after year and even remember our employees' names," said Jose Ontiveros, general manager at Mar y Sol Hotel & Suites, a budget hotel with non-budget amenities (wireless Internet) and a strong environmental sensibility — there are two trash containers in each room, for organic and non-organic materials.
Ontiveros, along with other young community leaders, is ensuring the continued viability of Guayabitos by participating actively in the local hotel-motel association, generating national and international promotion about the destination and protecting its strongest draw: a truly spectacular beach, perfect for swimming, sailing, snorkeling or simply walking.
La Peñita de Jaltemba
Considered by many as the service town for Guayabitos, La Peñita de Jaltemba (or simply La Peñita) is located immediately north, only a river separating the two communities, which combined are known as Jaltemba Bay. But don't think for a moment that La Peñita is not an intriguing destination in its own right! While Guayabitos looks and feels like a planned resort, La Peñita is the epitome of a small Mexican town.
The main avenue (Emiliano Zapata) is bustling with activity, day and night, lined with all sorts of restaurants and small stores offering everything from house wares to clothing and so forth. But perhaps, its most popular attraction is the Thursday tianguis, or street market, by far the largest in the entire region. Would you want to drive all the way from Puerto Vallarta just for a street market? By all means! It stretches more than four blocks and features all the typical items you are likely to find in any Mexican mercado: fresh produce, inexpensive clothing, plastic house wares and much more. A shady main plaza becomes the arts and crafts section of the market, offering a broad variety of Mexican crafts from the region, as well as other areas of Mexico, at surprisingly affordable prices.
Acting as a focal point for the local community (national and international), as well as the many visitors that come to La Peñita for market Thursdays, Xaltemba Restaurant & Galeria is a cozy spot featuring outstanding Italian cuisine and its own art gallery, the only one in town. The brainchild of former TV network manager Eddie Dominguez and artist Roberto Gil de Montes, Xaltemba offers indoor and al fresco dining all evenings but Monday. It is also open on Thursdays for lunch, an added bonus due to its location adjacent to the main plaza. It also double-duties as the town's cultural center, offering a variety of talks, workshops and literary readings. A number of exhibitions and activities are scheduled on a regular basis and can be explored further by visiting their website, www.xaltemba.com.
Consider these singular towns, together or separately, just for the day or overnight. Regardless, if there is such a thing as a true slice of "Mexicana," you will undoubtedly get a good taste of it in Jaltemba Bay.
Los Amigos de La Peñita
A good way to discover the rich diversity in this community is by getting involved. Los Amigos de La Peñita is a local service organization dedicated to raising awareness about the town's most important issues. Among them are recycling, maintaining the water supply and promoting a clean environment, particularly on the beach. Its annual fundraising event, a festive afternoon cocktail party with fine food, entertainment and a silent auction, will take place Sunday, February 8, at internationally renowned interior designer Thomas Bartlett's home. A committed philanthropist from Napa Valley, Bartlett will underwrite all party expenses for the second year in a row. Tickets are $750 pesos per person. For more information, please visit www.losamigosdelapenita.com.

The Most Insanely Complex Stunts from Science Fiction and Fantasy Films

ZF-6340: Documentation for PHP extension requirements wrong for libxml and probably zlib
If you look at the libxml extension in the table you will notice that here aren't any Zend components in the last column but some other PHP extensions. It doesn't fit to the column's header which is calle 'Used by Zend Framework Components'. The same holds true for the zlib extension, which list 'Memcache' as Zend component, which is PHP.
zlib added
Sorry, but Zend_Memory_Memcache is a own class and not a php extension.
Also to note: This dependency table is per revision 1.6 as all developers ignore it and don't fill the needed data. This table will always be behind the actual release.
fixed with r15019
Were the libxml dependencies fixed as well?
I find this list should be up-to-date, especially for PHP being in late beta phase gives you a good list of PHP packages/modules to include with a custom PHP compiled from the sources.
PS: How/where do I find the updated docs? You can send me an email if you want. Thanks.
BTW the zlib dependency docs said "Memcache", not "Zend_Memory_Memcache"...
There is no reason to get rude.
When I write fixed with r15019 then simply take a look into it. When you have no access to SVN then you have to wait until the next release is officially provided.
Also to mention: The homepage is build by Zend and not by us. They build the manual with the release, so to read it "officially" you have to wait for the next release.

Free personalized radio that
plays the music you love
De La Soul
De La Soul formed while the trio members -- Posdnuos (born Kelvin Mercer, August 17, 1969), Trugoy the Dove (born David Jude Jolicoeur, September 21, 1968), and Pasemaster Mase (born Vincent Lamont Mason Jr., March 27, 1970) -- were attending high school in the late '80s. The stage names of all of the members derived from in-jokes: Posdnuos was an inversion of Mercer's DJ name, Sound-Sop; Trugoy was an inversion of Jolicoeur's favorite food, yogurt. De La Soul's demo tape, "Plug Tunin'," came to the attention of Prince Paul, the leader and producer of the New York rap outfit Stetsasonic. Prince Paul played the tape to several colleagues and helped the trio land a contract with Tommy Boy Records.
Prince Paul produced De La Soul's debut album, 3 Feet High and Rising, which was released in the spring of 1989. Several critics and observers labeled the group as a neo-hippie band because the record praised peace and love as well as proclaiming the dawning of "the D.A.I.S.Y. age" (Da Inner Sound, Y'all). Though the trio was uncomfortable with the hippie label, there was no denying that the humor and eclecticism presented an alternative to the hardcore rap that dominated hip-hop. De La Soul quickly were perceived as the leaders of a contingent of New York-based alternative rappers that also included A Tribe Called Quest, Queen Latifah, the Jungle Brothers, and Monie Love; all of these artists dubbed themselves the Native Tongues posse.
For a while, it looked as if De La Soul and the Native Tongues posse would eclipse hardcore hip-hop in terms of popularity. "Me, Myself and I" became a Top 40 pop hit in the U.S. (number one R&B), while the album reached number 24 (number one R&B) and went gold. At the end of the year, 3 Feet High and Rising topped many best-of-the-year lists, including The Village Voice's. With all of the acclaim came some unwanted attention, most notably in the form of a lawsuit by the Turtles. De La Soul had sampled the Turtles' "You Showed Me" and layered it with a French lesson on a track on 3 Feet High called "Transmitting Live from Mars," without getting the permission of the '60s pop group. The Turtles won the case, and the decision not only had substantial impact on De La Soul, but on rap in general. Following the suit, all samples had to be legally cleared before an album could be released. Not only did this have the end result of rap reverting back to instrumentation, thereby altering how the artists worked, it also meant that several albums in the pipeline had to be delayed in order for samples to clear. One of those was De La Soul's second album, De La Soul Is Dead.
When De La Soul Is Dead was finally released in the spring of 1991, it received decidedly mixed reviews, and its darker, more introspective tone didn't attract as big an audience as its lighter predecessor. The album peaked at number 26 pop on the U.S. charts, number 24 R&B, and spawned only one minor hit, the number 22 R&B single "Ring Ring Ring (Ha Ha Hey)." De La Soul worked hard on their third album, finally releasing the record in late 1993. The result, entitled Buhloone Mindstate, was harder and funkier than either of its predecessors, yet it didn't succumb to gangsta rap. Though it received strong reviews, the album quickly fell off the charts after peaking at number 40, and only "Breakadawn" broke the R&B Top 40. The same fate greeted the trio's fourth album, Stakes Is High. Released in the summer of 1996, the record was well reviewed, yet it didn't find a large audience and quickly disappeared from the charts.
Four years later, De La Soul initiated what promised to be a three-album series with the release of Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump; though reviews were mixed, it was greeted warmly by record buyers, debuting in the Top Ten. The second title in the series, AOI: Bionix, even featured a video hit with "Baby Phat," but Tommy Boy and the trio decided to end their relationship soon after. De La Soul subsequently signed their AOI label to Sanctuary Urban (run by Beyoncé's father, Mathew Knowles) and released The Grind Date in October 2004. Two years later the group issued Impossible Mission: TV Series, Pt. 1, a collection of new and previously unreleased material. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Cast adrift by her father's suicide and her mother's flight into lunacy, the unsinkable Grace Winter has latched onto a rich husband and is sailing home from London to a life of Gilded Age luxury when their ocean liner goes down in flames and she finds herself on an overcrowded lifeboat. "Life is a relentless sliding down," Grace reflects later. "Eventually everyone finds himself in water up to his neck." Over three harrowing weeks at sea, as rations dwindle, boat mates disappear (some mysteriously), alliances shift with the wind and the mood becomes increasingly mutinous, Grace has to make some tricky decisions, one of which results in a murder trial. Buoyed by this alternately forthright and self-serving narrator, Charlotte Rogan's debut novel leaves you wondering: What really constitutes strength? Is morality a luxury? And if life deals you a rotten hand, are you entitled to palm a few cards?

Talk:Hepzibah Smith
Back to page
this wiki
I have amended the date of Hepzibah Smith's death, from 1942 to 1946. Since Tom Riddle attended Hogwarts from 1938 to 1945 and he is alleged to have murdered Hepzibah while working for Borgin and Burkes then 1942 is too soon. Dumbledore states that his memory of his interveiw with Riddle taked place ten years after the Hepzibah Smith memory. Riddle congratulates Dumbledore for being appointed Headmaster, and this appointment occured in 1956. Therefore the Hepzibah Smith memory must be 1946. As she died two days later, her death must occur in 1946. --Potty Harrer 03:26, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Image of Slytherin locket
The image of Salazar Slytherin's locket looks like it's actually Regulus Black's locket. I can't see the "S" (which seems to be the only way to distinguish the two lockets from each other by appearance). Could it be replaced with another image that is more obviously of Slytherin's locket? 184.108.40.206 03:09, October 16, 2011 (UTC)
- Fixed. Specifically, the image was of the Noble Collection's R.A.B. locket. 1337star 03:40, October 16, 2011 (UTC)
Not a muggle-born?
Wouldn't it be possible that she can be a muggle born, despite being descended from Helga Hufflepuff? JK Rowling did say that muggle borns are descended from squibs and it is likely that there could've been a squib somewhere in Helga Hufflepuff's descent that Hepzibah Smith can come from.22.214.171.124 17:07, August 3, 2012 (UTC)

By Jacki Higgins, NAMI Education Program Coordinator
|The trainees from NAMI Georgia share what NAMI programs have done
for them
with Colleen Duewel, NAMI National Director of Education (far left).
From June 6-8, 2014, NAMI hosted its annual National Training of Trainers event in Arlington, Va. Throughout the weekend, the energy and excitement in the air was tangible. Over 160 trainees arrived in the nation's capital to become a state trainer in one of six NAMI Education's signature programs. New this year was a dual training offered for trainees wanting to be trained in both NAMI Parents and Teachers as Allies and NAMI Ending the Silence.
NAMI Education's Training of Trainers event is an annual training, which allows experienced NAMI program leaders the opportunity to become a state trainer. Once certified, state trainers go back to their states and help expand the NAMI education programs by training more teachers, presenters, and support group facilitators.
The theme of the weekend was "Because of NAMI Programs." Trainees completed an artistic collage of messages to complete the sentence "Because of NAMI programs. Here is what some people wrote:
- "Because of NAMI programs, I can change the world."
- "Because of NAMI programs, I found hope and understanding."
- "Because of NAMI programs, I am healthy and can help others."
- "Because of NAMI programs, I am going back to school in the fall."
- "Because of NAMI programs, my grandchildren have the care they need."
- "Because of NAMI programs, I found my son again."
All through the weekend, trainees learned and practiced the techniques necessary to be successful state trainers.
Those that attended the weekend came into the trainings with excitement and hope. Most of the trainees have taught and participated in multiple NAMI programs. They volunteer their time and passion to NAMI and to the education programs.
While the Training of Trainers event can be a lot to digest, the trainees leave with the confidence to pass their knowledge and skills on. The mixture of trainees is amazing – some have taught multiple classes or have been facilitators for years, while others may still be fairly new to NAMI having only taught one class or given a few presentations. But the heart is there. Program leaders are the heart of NAMI programs. As long as the heart beats, the education programs will continue to grow. There couldn't be a group of finer people.

Outdoor Retailers, here at a convention demo, want to stay in SLC because nearby mountains allow real-world testing.
The outdoor recreation industry, Metcalf says, particularly the firms located in Utah—including Salomon, Suunto, Black Diamond, Easton, Gregory Mountain Products, Petzl and Rossignol—are business people who share the same faith in free enterprise as Utah's lawmakers.
"These lands are integral to the success and vibrancy of the outdoor industry. They are defining to the West and are integral to Utah's economy," Metcalf says. "We are just asking for the governor to not be engaged in some kind of bizarre, demonic attack on the vibrancy and beauty this industry is built upon."
Rep. Ken Ivory, a West Jordan Republican who proposed the bill last year demanding the federal government turn over as much as 30 million acres of land to the state, says the outdoor industry's fear mongering about state land management is insulting. "It's silly," he says. "How have we existed as a state this long and not destroyed everything? That says the people of Utah aren't good enough or smart enough, to manage their own land."
The outdoor industry's rhetoric has more to do with forcing government aid in expanding Salt Lake's convention facilities, including a proposal to publicly subsidize a new hotel, Ivory says. "We know from history they will use any lever to gain advantage."
In other words, the outdoor retailers are sharp businessmen.
Herbert Under Pressure
The Capitol office of Alan Matheson, Herbert's environmental advisor, is decorated with photographs of climbing and Utah's canyons, much like Metcalf's office at Black Diamond. Tall and fit, Matheson is an avid fly fisherman and bicyclist. He says Herbert is keenly aware of the economics of the recreation industry, particularly the trade shows. "We are taking active steps to keep them here."
Alan Matheson, the governor's chief environmental advisor, must forge a compromise on land use.
Last September, Matheson began formulating a plan to address the outdoor retailers' concerns. He envisioned creating a study group before the market in January and had opened talks with industry leaders to discuss land policies. "There's this perception that there is a war brewing or well underway [between Herbert's administration and the outdoor industry]," he says. "It is a relationship that is continuing to build."
But Matheson emphasizes that the public lands controversy is only a sideshow to what it will take to keep the rapidly expanding outdoor shows in Salt Lake City. The real challenges are logistical—hotel rooms and exhibit space. The clash over lands is an example of the industry testing its increasing clout, he says. "This is a growing and powerful industry. They are trying to figure out if they [can] exert political influence commensurate with their economic influence and how, when and where to flex that muscle," Matheson says.
But Metcalf is fearless about taking his industry into a very political conflict. "We're telling the governor, 'It's crazy you are doing this, and we are going to challenge you. If you do not change these things, we will be very public in our opposition.'"
A Clash with Deep Roots
Ownership of land has always been polarizing in Utah. Ivory and his allies, including U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, see it as a sacred last stand to limit federal power. Opponents say it could destroy any hope of additional wilderness areas and obliterate Utah's reputation as one of the last wild places in North America if Ivory and his supporters succeed.
Such black-and-white approaches make compromise nearly impossible. Matheson's challenge is to find middle ground. "People think it is either energy development or outdoor recreation," he says. "The governor has said repeatedly it is not either/or."
Most Utahns, he says, want a balance, protecting most wild lands, but exploiting some for education funding. "We as a people living in this state need to have a voice in managing these lands," Matheson says. "[Ivory's legislation] is a way to reignite that dialogue and allow us to manage our lands in a way that provides for the tax base but also protects the great public lands."

Post subject: Tangle of Need - Nalini Singh
I want to thank Maggie for such a thoughtful and detailed review. While I was reading the first part, I was thinking "oh no", however the information that a good part of the book continues to build the "world" and all the schemes and plots in the PurePsy conflict give me an excellent reason to read this book because even when I couldn't get really invested in the lead "couple" in some of the previous books the really superior world building always sucked me in!
And as a bonus more Sienna and Hawke - that's a big plus for me because I really felt that the "action" overshadowed their romance in their own book.
And I definitely would agree that is doesn't sound like a newcomer to the books would like it at all!
When in doubt, read.

So much goes on in these books that if she gets only half of it right it is still a really good story. I'm still loving this series, which is saying something since I have quit several recently.

Just finished reading this over the weekend and came back to say that the review is spot on.
I'd give the romance between Adria and Rias a B-/C+ because the conflict that keeps them apart isn't one that I find interesting/believeable... this is more a matter of taste than anything wrong with how the H/h are portrayed dealing with it. I don't think it's a big secret but I'll blank it anyway:
It's the I have a fated "mate" who is my true love... even though this other one is really more suited to me - blecch
That said the rest of the book is extremely satisfying to one who is addicted to the overall story arc, as I am. We see how the different parties are handling the aftermath of the big battle that ensued in Sienna and Hawke's book AND we get to see a lot more of how their romance is progressing. Be advised that although a lot is going on, no resolutions to the various plot threads are offered here.
To add the cream on top we get introduced to a new and very intriguing aquatic changeling group. Just hints in this book, however I look forward to finding out a lot more.
This part of the book I rate a B+. I do echo the warning that this is NOT a stand alone read. Fans of the Psy/Changling world will love it - those who read these primarily for the central romance, not so much.
When in doubt, read.

I just finished this one and would agree with
maggie b
's review and comment "When they finally get it together towards the end there are some sweet moments but I just didn't find them worth the trip..." I too was more interested in the Arrows and Alice Eldridge. I loved reading about Hawke and Sienna - so although this was Adria and Riaz's book, the parts I most enjoyed were when the focus was on other people. So, really this book doesn't rate much higher than C for their romance - which is a pity, as here, Nalini Singh is trying to tell a story of a changeling who ends up with (maybe spoiler in white font)
someone who is not the first-choice mate; then Singh tries to explain why this could work, when in previous books in this series, the "mate recognition" was so integral to the story - it's like she's trying to explain a contradiction to something we thought was a rule in the changeling universe she created
. I don't know why Riaz and Adria's story didn't really hook me when the premise was actually quite interesting. Maybe because we love Hawke and Sienna so much, Riaz and Adria were eclipsed? I think it's more than that. Maybe it's series-itis for me too. I am glad I got my copy out of the library.

I agree with what everyone else has said. Not the best romance compared to many of her others (my favorite is Caressed by Ice with Judd and Brenna)
I did love the Hawke and Sienna parts, and learning better how they related to each other.
I decided just this month to take the plunge and read Singh's Archangel series. Wow! I was pretty surprised how dark and violent it is, but I loved it!

About Me Bookworm
I am a retired school librarian, so usually don't run into problems. I have used National Geographic books since my own children were small and really liked them. That being said, I really don't like the content of much of this book. I bought it for a grandchild's birthday. He reads and comprehends at a 6th grade level and enjoys "fact books". He reads many books and magazines by NG, but he is 8.This book is disturbing to me even as an adult reader. Tho it is interesting, it gives you the same creepy feeling as Daphne du Maurier's book and movie by Alfred Hitchcock "The Birds". This is NOT just "Angry Birds", but people attacking with a vengeance birds. You will be eyeing the ones outside with an uneasy feeling after reading thru this! I would recommend it only with reader cautions.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Angry Birds
By Mel
from WI
I think this book is great. I have birds and deemed one of mine the original Angry Bird. He hates everyone but me (but I think I'm just tolerated). My Birds & I go to schools to educate kids about them as pets.This was a great addition to our program. I think the kids will enjoy it.

ZF-1868: Add a unit test to fetch a LOB column
As a first step to creating more test coverage for the Zend_Db component, I have created a simple unit test that fetches LOBs. It retrieves both a BLOB and a CLOB column, then does a string comparison.
The test is called testAdapterFetchLob() and is placed in the file:
This requires some DDL that creates a table with LOB columns and also populates the table with 1 row. This is provided in:
This may have to be changed because different databases may define LOBs differently. For example, MySQL uses TEXT, not CLOB.
Also, I made a DB2-specific modification to allow a string to be inserted as a BLOB in the file:
Please review the unit test and change as appropriate. If you also have some suggestions on what other type of LOB tests could be useful, I can add them as time permits.
testAdapterFetchLob() is defined here
DDL and population of LOB table
DB2-specific change to convert a string to a BLOB.
Assign to Bill Karwin.
I expanded the original test to now include 4 asserts:
- Number of rows returned (should now be 3)
- Select LOB column that contains data
- Select LOB column that contains null (NEW)
- Select LOB column that contains a zero-length string ('') (NEW)
Updated files now include:
tests/Zend/Db/TestUtil/Common.php -- contains DDL and data for table tests/Zend/Db/TestUtil/Db2.php -- DB2 specific data for a BLOB column tests/Zend/Db/Adapter/TestCommon.php -- testAdapterFetchLob() with 2 new asserts
Assigning to [~ledezma]
Hy Salvador,
if you are not able to commit this patch, you should un-assign this issue so anyone with commit-rights will do this.
Otherwise please commit your changes and close this issue. ;-)
I had submitted these patches for review by someone with commit authority.

GENERIC NAME: propoxyphene and acetaminophen
DISCONTINUED BRANDS: Darvocet A500, Darvocet-N, Wygesic
All propoxyphene containing products (brand and generic) were withdrawn from the US market in November 2010 because of the risk of serious heart related side effects.
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Propoxyphene is a strong narcotic pain-reliever and cough suppressant but is weaker than other narcotics such as morphine, codeine, and hydrocodone. The precise mechanism of action is not known but may involve stimulation of opioid receptors in the brain. Propoxyphene increases pain tolerance and decreases discomfort, but the presence of pain is still apparent. In addition to pain reduction, propoxyphene also causes sedation and respiratory depression. Acetaminophen is a non-narcotic analgesic and antipyretic (fever reducer). Acetaminophen relieves pain by elevating the pain threshold. It reduces fever through its action on the heat-regulating center of the brain. The combination of propoxyphene and acetaminophen achieves greater pain relief than either taken separately. For more information on acetaminophen, please see acetaminophen (Tylenol). The FDA first approved propoxyphene/acetaminophen combinations in October 1972.

POLL: Which sweet southern double names
My husband is the guy who loves surnames for girls because they seem Southern and spunky, so the fact that he's starting to think that these much more feminine double names fulfill the same task is very encouraging to me.
Please vote on which name you like the best. I'm open to suggestions as well. In general, I really like May, Lou, Nell, or Tess in the 2nd spot). We pronounce Evie (EE-vee)
Here are the full name possibilities for each name:
1. Ruth May (Ruth May Katherine)
2. Evie May (Reveley May Katherine OR Everhart May Katherine OR Evie May Katherine OR Eve May Katherine---Reveley and Everhart are namely names...I'm not a fan of Everhart for a girl AT ALL, but if it gets me to Evie May, I migh acquiesce)
3. Evie Lou (Eve Louise Katherine)
4. Adah May (Adah May Katherine)
5. Effie May (Euphemia May Katherine)
6. Evie Tess (Eve Therese Katherine)
7. Emmylou (Memphis Louise Katherine)
8. Ruth Nell (Ruth Helen Katherine)
9. Anne May or Annie May (Anne May Katherine....dh likes it, but worries it would be too boring in case of other kids.He's worried we'll get stuck with fairly conservative names....Anne and Shiloh don't exactly "go" together.
10. Anne Louise (Anne Louise Katherine)

I love Anna! Annie May Katherine is So pretty! Or you could use Anna May Katherine and call her "Annie May"... I know Anne is a favorite here, but I always just feel like she is missing something, and prefer Anna. Still Anne Katherine May would be very pretty.
Evie- is SO pretty!! I am not a fan of the longer names, you are contemplating to get to Evie.. I would go with Evangeline, Or Everly , Eve or just Evie.... I am not a fan of Eve next to Louise, it kind of runs together. Love Evie May!! Eve May Katherine....
Ruth is simply precious! Ruthie is adorable!! Ruth May Katherine is pretty!~ "How can there be too many children? That is like saying there are too many flowers."~ Mother Teresa

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Container Gardening & Ponds
Grasses in Containers (page 3 of 4)
by Rick Darke
Going Tropical with Grasses
One of the joys of container gardening is experimenting with plants that are not hardy in your region, including a number of beautiful tropical and subtropical grasses. Three distinct purple-leafed fountain grasses -- Pennisetum setaceum 'Rubrum', P. s. 'Eaton Canyon' (also sold as 'Rubrum Compactum'), and P. 'Burgundy Giant' -- make dramatic container specimens in the summer and early autumn garden. None is reliably hardy below 40°F, but during winter they can be held in semi-dormancy in a basement or a garage attached to a house if you don't have a greenhouse. If fountain grass isn't exotic enough for you, try one of the purple-stemmed varieties of sugarcane, such as Saccharum officinarum 'Pele's Smoke'. In their semi-dormant state, the grasses will survive. Just don't let the soil in the pots dry completely.
For those of us fond of the aromas of Asian cuisine, it is delightful to have lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) in the garden. The crushed leaves of this subtropical native of India and Sri Lanka are strongly lemon scented. Lemongrass is cold hardy only through USDA Hardiness Zone 9, yet it makes an attractive pot plant in the sunny summer garden. Purchase starts each spring, or overwinter potted plants in a greenhouse or sunporch.
Arizona native Muhlenbergia dumosa is called bamboo muhly for its bamboolike stems and fine-textured foliage. Though not winter hardy in the ground beyond zone 8, it thrives in a container, luxuriating in the summer sun and adding a unique look to the garden. In warmer climates such as those of California and Texas, I've seen it growing with desert plants like cactus and agave. The imaginative container gardener can recreate these striking textural combinations anywhere in the country.
The current craze for bold-textured tropicals, such as cannas and bananas, also suggests exciting combinations with fine-textured grasses in containers. Even on a small scale, container grasses can be enlivened by interplanting them with broad-leafed plants, such as a mix of golden-variegated Hakone grass with bronze-leafed sweet potato vine.

Starry Night
The Bachelor creator Mike Fleiss opened the doors of his Malibu estate for the 12th annual Malibu Boys & Girls Club benefit gala, a whimsical affair featuring outdoor dining, glimmering lights and, of course, a good cause. A close-knit mix of locals and Hollywood luminaries showed up in support, including Minnie Driver, Cindy Crawford and Pierce Brosnan. Appropriately, The Bachelor host Chris Harrison assumed the role of the evening's emcee, as guests dined on Patrón-infused cake pops and cuisine from Malibu Farm. Though a performance by Jakob Dylan and The Wallflowers wowed the crowd, the MBGC glee club stole the show with its rendition of Rihanna's "Stay." The crowd took the song to heart, lingering long enough to raise $220,000—a lump sum as cool as the former Mr. Bond in attendance. Photography by Derek Goes
