ZF-7718: Fix Controller Name Created By ZF Tool With Module Layout
I have try zf tool to create project layout with modules. And when I create controller use it, I must edit the controller name according to the module. Ex:
$ zf create controller user index-action-included=1 admin
The command above will produce a controller in admin module with class name UserController. When access the controller, it will return error, because the controller name is not match with controller name that ZF suggest for modular project. The suggest controller name from ZF is Module_ControllerName (Admin_UserController).
And for this, I have made a patch for this case.

The connection between Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center and the community at large has been strong throughout the more than 90 years we have been in operation. Our commitment is to offer the highest-level care we can for you and your family, and to uplift the overall health of the community as a whole.
As an academic medical center, not only are we devoted to giving you the highest level of excellence in care and the latest technologies and treatments, but we are committed to educating future doctors, clinicians and scientists and researching the cures of tomorrow.
Toward that end, we're proud to share our annual report on the community health benefits provided in the 2013 fiscal year by the Medical Center. These benefits reflect our commitment to every part of our mission, in particular the services and programs that provide a foundation for health for the community at large.
As reported to the North Carolina Medical Care Commission, Wake Forest Baptist invested $259 million in programs it defines as community benefits for the fiscal year that ran from July 1, 2012, through June 30, 2013. That number reflects a 9 percent increase over the previous year.
Our community benefits total of $259 million includes charity care, but does not include bad debt from charges the hospital is unable to recoup—which amounted to an additional $44.9 million.
We invite you to take the opportunity to read about our commitments in the community, through charity care, education and research, and subsidies to wonderful outpatient clinics such as the Downtown Health Plaza. We also offer you a glimpse at some of these programs and the people in our community who we are privileged to serve.

No. I use bare thumb and two fingers (mainly) - very occasional use of third finger. Flesh and a bit of nail (approx 1/16 to 1/8 inch) protruding.
The day I put the flat pick down, I discovered the dexterity of thumb and opposing finger... I gained an extra digit and never looked back. A little volume and speed was no sacrifice considering the agility acquired. And ... no more, "where is my pick?"
No picks whatsoever. Started out using a pick and was able to cross pick pretty well. When I started playing fingerstyle I used a thumb pick, but ended up hurting my thumb presumably because of the slight twisting of the thumb that occurs when I was using the thumb pick.
Every once in a while when I'm playing electric guitar I use a pick and it feels funny.
I play with a pick for blurgrass type stuff, with a thumpick and fingers for country blues, and also with fingers and thumb and no pick when I play Celtic and softer folk stuff like Stephen Foster tunes. But then again, I've been playing since 1966.
Glenn Weiser
If I play alone, I like to use my fingers, but for solo much better to use pick.... It's hard question...
Here is an example
To strum, I use a flat pick about 95% of the time. I've tried using a thumb pick to do fingerstyle, but find it clumsy and hard to get used to. When I Travis pick, I use my bare fingers. The metal finger picks are almost impossible for me to get comfortable with.
More and more I've stopped using a pick. The sound of the strings is so much sweeter to my ear when strummed by hand. And of course, your options are so much greater when you play with your hand. You can grab a couple notes, make chords of 2,3,4,5 notes. It's a good exercise to put down the pick and start using your hand more. I've found it very expanding.
Sometimes, but I usually use the tips of my fingers. I used to flatpick but I've been using
this technique for 20 some years now.
I always used to use a flat pick or do hybrid picking. But then I taught myself the solo to Jimi Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower" by ear and came across a part that was much too fast to play with a pick, or even by hybrid picking. Ever since then I've been using only fingers. I find that it sounds better and I can do a lot more. If I play something really fast I use my thumb, too. I sometimes even forget that other guitarists use picks haha
You know how much volume and finesse Neil Young has when playing acoustic, if you have any DVDs of his, watch
his technique. He doesn't use a pic either. He uses his fingers in the shape like he's holding a pic, but there's none between his fingers. He's a gorilla on the fretboard. That's where I leaned to play with only my fingers.
Yeah that's what I do sometimes; I use my fingers like I'm holding a pick. And I'll definitely check out those Neil Young videos. Jeff Beck doesn't use a pick either, and although some of his recordings can be kinda boring (some are wicked awesome though!), he is amazing to see live. I saw him in Boston once, and his drummer is amazing. Bassist Rhonda Smith has really funky solos.
I'm using a pick 99% of the time these days. I did study classical guitar at a program run by Parkening back in the 80s and was very serious about fingerstyle then. But I've been playing electric guitar with rock and country bands for so long that the pick is by FAR more comfortable for me, so with my current "flamenco-jazz" project I just decided to give-up the nails and use my pick. Can't do proper rasgueado and some other things with a pick, but the trade-offs in my abilities with a pick for fast scales and what-not are worth it. I use Dunlop Jazz IIIs and Jazz III XLs for flat-picking on my nylon and steel string acoustics.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
British Colubmia, retreat, spa, vineyard, resort
My kids and I spent last week exploring the beautiful Okanagan region of British Columbia. There was so much to see and do—from touring wineries to feasting on the prolific organic produce that's grown there. We covered a lot of ground, and when we needed a place to rest and relax for a few days, we were thrilled to find Spirit Ridge Vineyard Resort and Spa in Osoyoos, a relaxed lakeside community just a few miles from the U.S. border.
Photo Courtesy Spirit Ridge Vineyard Resort and Spa.
Set in the Great Basin desert, one of Canada's three most endangered ecosystems, the resort faces environmental challenges—and I was happy to learn during my visit that it's facing them head on. Landscaping is done with native desert plants, and the resort takes as much care of the native animals as it does of its guests. The area is home to a significant number of gopher snakes, rattlesnakes and two species of endangered bats. Besides monitoring snake activity, raising money for research programs and promoting wildlife education, the folks at the resort have also built a deflection fence and a safe crossing corridor for the snakes as well as a roost for the bats. In deference to both critters and guests, the pools at Spirit Ridge are filled with salt water, eliminating the use of chlorine.
Spirit Ridge is built on tribal land, as part of a special partnership with the First Nations Osoyoos Indian Band (OIB), or NK'MIP. The winery is the first aboriginal winery in North America, and the NK'MIP Desert Cultural Centre, located at the resort, is a fascinating introduction to Okanagan First Nations culture. The center offers on-site cultural tours and self-guided nature trails as well as rattlesnake research and tagging programs. And its gorgeous multi-colored rammed earth wall is a must-see for anyone interested in natural building.
Our villa was equipped with Energy Star appliances, low-flow fixtures and compact fluorescent lighting—as good as it gets. A new Wireless Energy Management System) could detect when my kids and I had left the room, so I didn't have to worry (quite so much) that we'd left the lights on or the air conditioner running. Resort manager Mohamed Awad told me the system has helped Spirit Ridge cut its energy use by an estimated 25 to 30 percent. (I wish I had this at home!)
"We're the only resort in the south Okanagan that's making this kind of green initiatives," Awad told me. "And now other resorts are starting to follow suit."
That's something worth writing home about.

Making a Referral
Making a referral
There are many ways that you can make a referral of a student that you are concerned about.
You can walk with the student to the Center for Cura Personalis located at 729 E. Boone Ave. The office is staffed from 8 am to 4:30 pm every business day.
- You can fill out the Student of Concern form.
- You can call the Center for Cura Personalis at 509-313-2227 and talk to one of our staff.
- If you have an immediate concern for the student's safety or the safety of the Gonzaga community because of a student, call Campus Security at 509-313-2222
- If there is an active emergency, call 911 immediately.
Our staff is also available for consultation. If you are concerned about a student but not sure what to do, feel free to call our office. We will gladly help work through the situation with you.
What happens after I make a referral?
Once a referral has been made, the Center for Cura Personalis staff review the information provided and then strategize about the best way to reach out to the student. In every case, thought is placed into how best to reach out to the student in a kind, caring, and supportive way. Sometimes we reach out through professional Residence Life staff who live in community with the student. If we know a particular staff member knows a student well, we may try to gather more information and figure out who is the best person to reach out to the student. We strive to have the person reaching out to the student be someone with whom the student is comfortable, and who can provide support and resources to the student.
Some situations require immediate action, such as situations where a student is making an immediate threat of harming him/herself or harming others. These are situations where we must act immediately to take measures to protect both the individual student and the community. If you encounter a situation similar to this, you are urged to call Campus Public Safety and Security at 509-313-2222 immediately.
Who Can Help?
If you aren't sure who to call about a student of concern, the Center for Cura Personalis is a great place to start. A professional staff member can help talk through your concerns and help create an action plan. The Division of Student Development has a number of different departments and staff who work directly with struggling students. Professional staff in Housing/Residence Life, Health and Counseling Services, and more have training specific to working with struggling students.
Within the Center for Cura Personalis there are four case managers who work directly with students to assess their needs, connect students to on and off campus services, and help students create and execute long term self care plans. At Gonzaga, case management is not counseling or therapy; rather, case managers have the opportunity to develop close helping relationships with students while coaching students toward good self care and advocacy. To speak directly to a case manager, please call the Center for Cura Personalis at 509-313-2227.Gonzaga also has a case team that meets weekly to discuss students who may be experiencing challenges. This team works to gather information on struggling students and appoint a person to reach out to those students. Members of the case team are from many different departments including:
- Dean of Students Office
- Center for Cura Personalis
- Housing/Residence Life
- Disability Access
- International Student and Scholar Services
- Health and Counseling Services
- Athletics
- Office of Academic Advising and Assistance
- Campus Security
Student Development has staff on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to assist in any urgent crisis situation. If you believe you have an urgent situation that needs immediate attention, please call Gonzaga Dispatch at 509-313-2222 for assistance.

Home Domination For Softball, Sweep SMC In Doubleheader
The Pasadena City College softball team stayed perfect in home games at Robinson Park this season at 5-0 after sweeping Santa Monica College, 8-0 and 9-1, in a doubleheader Saturday where each game was ended in the fifth inning due to the 8-run mercy rule.
The Lancers are 6-5 under second-year head coach Brittany Williams, the team's best start since 2009. PCC had won just nine games a year in each of the previous three seasons under three different head coaches.
Williams' 2013 Lancers look to break that streak and appear to be on their way thanks to some home cooking. In the team's five home victories, they've outscored the opponents, 34-1, with four shutouts. After 11 games, the team batting average is .361.
In the first game win over the Corsairs (2-7 record), PCC starting pitcher Melissa Izumida came within an out of a no-hitter, but Arlene Garcia singled to center field to break it up in the top of the fifth. Izumida settled for a 1-hitter, striking out eight and walking only one over five innings.
The Lancers, who scored four runs in both the second and third innings, were led offensively by catcher/leadoff hitter Jazmin Hernandez, who went 3-for-3 with two RBI and two stolen bases. Izumida helped her own cause by going 2-for-2 with a double and two RBI while shortstop Allison Lacey was 2-for-3 with a double and also two RBI. Third baseman Katelyn Thordarson and second baseman Audrey Serna roped a double a piece in the team's 10-hit attack.
In the second game, PCC banged out 12 hits and winning pitcher Cierra Newton completed a 4-hitter over five innings, walking one and striking out two. Newton knocked in two runs on two hits while Lacey was 2-for-2 with three runs scored, a hit-by-pitch and the team's only extra-base hit, a double.
Santa Monica led 1-0, scoring the first run in five games by a PCC road opponent on a RBI single by Selma Cortez. The Lancers scored five runs in the third inning to break a 1-1 tie.
Hernandez, who was 5-for-6 in the two games, batted 2-for-3 with two runs scored, Izumida was 2-for-2 with two RBI as a reserve hitter, and third baseman Sara Quintero went 2-for-3. Lacey ended game 2 with a bases-loaded single up the middle to plate the ninth run in the bottom of the fifth.
"Robinson Park is starting to become a fun place for our team," Williams said. "To mercy the other team twice in a doubleheader is such a far cry from the past few years here. Once again, our pitching shuts other team down and that takes the pressure of our hitters. We need to show some of this confidence when we are playing on the road."
PCC begins South Coast Conference play on Tuesday, Feb. 12 when it travels to face East Los Angeles College in a 3 p.m. first pitch.

Post subject: What is the worse romance you ever read?
I gave up on Catherine Coulter after reading An Honorable Offer, one of her earlier book. The hero demands that the heroine loves him and when she finally does and then walks in on him with his mistress, he beats her. What a jerk. Yeah, I know it was considered normal during that time period. I could not manage halfway through The Devils Embrace. Lousy writing, terrible plot and icky hero.
And then there is Jude Deverauxs Knight in Shining Armor and only remember that it was boring. Some people don't like Katie MacAllister; I only read her historical novels and those I liked. They were easy nice beach readings. As for Lolah Burfords Alyx and her other books, I have a hard time with her writing style. I know that folks are passionately divided about her books; I would like to make up my own mind but as I said, I find them extremely difficult to read. Maybe its because English is my second language.
Kinley MacGregors The Warrior simply had me baffled. I like The MacAllisters and Brotherhood of the Sword until The Warrior. I seems to me she is trying to hard to bring those together and for good measure throws in her Dark Hunter (as Sherrilyn Kenyon) concepts. Another book I havent read yet but I know from various forums that it causes people to voice their opinions strongly, is Stormfire by Christine Monson.

lol, I gave up on Catherine Coulter only because she hasn't written any historicals with the broad humor of her 90s releases.
My vote for the worst romance I've ever read?
The Saint
by Madeline Hunter. Not because it was "bad," but because that particular story line is my pet peeve and I was angry throughout the entire book.

Most of my worst reads were unmemorable Mills & Boon romances or obscure romances delegated to the darkest corner of the library. I can remember a lot of plots, but few names. A particularly bad Western comes to mind, with a heroine who was the first judge in her state or something. And the hero was a Native American with a brother in jail for a crime he didn't commit - i'm sure you can imagine the conflict that ensued. Will she or won't she save his brother? Let me perch on the edge of my seat while I find out(!) I think the hero was a widower and blackmailed her into marriage so she could look after his baby and cook and clean for him. Man, oh man...that was an awful book. I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy.

The worst books I've read were 'Shana' by Woodiwiss, followed closely by Catherine Coulter's 'Rosehaven'. I stopped reading Coulter after that book and I never bothered giving Woodiwiss a second try after 'Shana'. I'm sure I've had my share of wall-bangers but those two were so bad I am still trying to erase the memory unsuccessfully to this day.

Really bad writing usually makes me give up on a book and I don't tend to remember those but
Her Only Desire

First and only book that comes to mind is Linda Howard's "
All That Glitters
Hm where do I begin? The hero is an ASS, he RAPES the heroine, and the heroine is a STUPID, WEAK, DUMB@$$ cry baby.
I apologize for my language or if I offend readers who love the book. I just cant seem to associate the book with anything other than these descriptive words.
THANK GOD it didnt turn me off Linda Howard or the romance genre in general. It was my second romance book =/
I'm sure there are more that I've thrown against the wall. I will post again when I remember more =]

Like everyone else, I can think of several "worst" Romances, each one terrible for a different reason.
A Fine Passion
by Stephanie Laurens
The most long-winded thing I've ever read!!! The book could easily be 150 to 200 pages shorter. Laurens just goes on and on and on and on and on in this one . . . If that weren't bad enough, the prose is awful: I believe a good expression is "All foam and no beer."
His Mistress by Morning
by Elizabeth Boyle
The premise was promising: make a wish and it will come true, but your entire life will have been changed to make it so. (For instance, if you wish that you could be a skilled prima ballerina, then you will wake up with no childhood friends and siblings who are like strangers, because you practiced so much growing up that you didn't have time to get to know anyone.) It would have been okay, if the heroine hadn't been so breathtakingly TSTL: she spent half the novel stuttering in shock and the other half being spoiled and selfish.
Yet what really killed the novel for me was how they resolved all their problems in the end. Not to give anything away, but the phrase
Deus ex machina
comes to mind.
The Marriage Bed
by Laura Lee Guhrke
Reading this was like playing Connect-the-Dots when I already knew what the "secret" shape was going to be. Early in the novel, a minor character tells the hero that he will know he has finally fallen in love when he makes a fool of himself in public for a woman . . . and for the rest of the novel I wait for him to do just that. Talk about killing tension!

I've mentioned this before: Bad on so many levels: Michelle Jaffe's The Stargazer: I hate you I hate you...let's have sex...I hate you I hate you...let's have sex...I hate you I hate you...let's have sex. Hard back, debut author, highly over-rated review from another place. I learned my lesson.

There are plenty of books with offensive storylines and/or heroes, but I feel compelled to pick one that has neither: Wicked Widow by Amanda Quick. In addition to being mind-numbingly boring, it also has dome secret society stuff going on that may have been part of the series (was it?), but really added nothing to the book, and was also annoying in the extreme. I haven't read her since, under any name.

I'm inclined to second athena_d's nomination of Linda Howard's All That Glitters.
However, there's a new entry in the "worst romance" sweepstakes as of May 2008:
Notorious Rake, Innocent Lady (Harlequin Historical Series) (Mass Market Paperback)
by Bronwyn Scott (Author)
I stood in the B&N aisle far longer than my gimpy right knee should have stood there, helplessly mesmerized by the appalling prose of it.

If not the worst, this book is at least in the top 10. The title that springs to mnd is Midsummer's Magic by Catherine Coulter. Dumb title for a book with a complete ass of a *hero*. I got so sick of him taking out that little jar of cream for her during the sex scenes (not love scenes). All through the book I was screaming in my head....She doesn't like you, you dolt...get * a * clue!
Besides this one, there are others, but I can't remember titles or authors. One of them features a hero who keeps the heroine imprisoned for almost the entire book...and it's not romantic in the least. Another one that I can't remember either title or author features a hero who leaves the heroine after many years of marriage because she's not the young lovely thing he married. He goes off with a young mistress and keeps her for most of the book. In fact, when he goes on a ship to rescue his wife, the mistress...and the h/h son (who is a young boy) is there right along with him. Finally...the mistress is sent away on the last 2 pages. Complete garbage...complete waste of time.
Oh, and I'll second the Rosehaven mention...also by Coulter. The hero has his mistress living in the same building, the hero chains the heroine to the table to eat with the dogs..what a lovely man. yuck. The only difference between him and the other guys mentioned is that he's sort of a dolt and not mean but clueless as can be. An idiot.

Here are a few of my grade F-- books:
Untie My Heart by Judith Ivory
Once a Princess by Johanna Lindsey
The Marriage List by Dorothy McFalls
Any book by Diana Palmer
And, arguably NOT romance (they are more in the erotic spectrum):
Colters' Woman by Maya Banks (gag!!! pass the sick bag)
Equal Opportunities by Mathilde Madden - after reading comments on this by an AAR poster, I got a copy because I like a damaged hero. Instead I got myself a damaged ego for being so stupid as to even read past chapter 1. And no, I did not finish this piece of garbage. I tried hard to view it as esoteric comedy but in the end found it insulting and puerile beyond belief.

I challenge ANYONE to come up with a worst book than this one. Unfortunately, I can't remember its name or author (maybe someone could supply it?), probably because our brain protects itself against such things. I DO remember, tho, that it was written in the '80s and by a known author.
Plot: Virginal young thing marries a man who callously and coldly has sex with her. He's enamored with his jaded mistress who does her best to make man hate wife. Both of them plot against her. I kept reading, waiting for the protagonist (can't call him a hero) to wake up to the evil manipulations of the evil mistress as she plotted evil acts. But he never did, EVEN WHEN MISTRESS POISONS the heroine and she dies! I looked for an epilogue, telling us the unending grief of the protagonist when he discovered the truth, but no, nothing. Stupid me, I even read it twice because I thought I had remembered it wrongly. It has been the only romance I have ever read that ends unhappily.

All That Glitters by Linda Howard - the hero was the biggest jerk hero I've ever read and it still makes me mad when I think of him telling her she can't wear that wedding dress!
Everyday Average Jones by Suzanne Brockmann - I hated the heroine so much in this story that it turned me off to SB altogether.

[kml_flashembed movie="http://www.youtube.com/v/Al89UR2l3oI" width="550" height="445" allowfullscreen="true" fvars="fs=1" /]
Johnny Otis, music legend and one of the "first musicians to cross the racial divide," passed away yesterday at age 90. The man's influence on soul music, jazz, and even rock-n-roll is an epic movie in and of itself.
Among his many accomplishments and honors are his discovery of Little Esther (Esther Phillips), his co-writing and production of the original version of "Hound Dog" (later covered by Elvis), and recording with Frank Zappa. The tireless entertainer also wore many hats – radio jock, TV presenter, politician, preacher, organic farmer and of course, father of Shuggie Otis.

What should be the Miami Dolphins' first move when the NFL lockout ends?
Or so it seems. We hope.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and DeMaurice Smith, the leader of the NFL Players Association, resumed talks on Thursday in Minneapolis. It's another in a series of meetings that points to the end of the lockout, though ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported late Thursday that the negotiations were stalling.
Either way, we'll just assume that a deal will be struck at some point in the not-so distant future. Too much money to lose, after all, the longer this thing goes. Even so, all we can do is guess on when this thing will end and my guess is that it will be over by sometime in the middle of July. If it ends by, say, July 20 or before, that still leaves time – not a ton of it, of course – for teams to sign players, make roster moves, hold team meetings and get in order before the start of training camp, which likely will have to be condensed.
Any deal that's struck after July 20, though, and you have to wonder how the preseason would be affected. Of course, it's fair to wonder about that as it is right now. But if the lockout persists into late July or, worse, into August, then you're looking at the possibility of a delay to the start of the regular season.
Regardless of when things wrap up, teams will be faced with immediate decisions. When the lockout lifts, it's going to be a chaotic, frantic time. The only question is how much so. Think about all that will have to be done:
-First: teams, players and agents will have to understand the intricacies of the new collective bargaining agreement.
-Second: roster moves. Yes front office personnel have had a lot of time to prepare a strategy for once the lockout lifts but, once it does, there won't be much time to put that strategy into place and go after desired free agents.
-Third: signing draftees. This could be the easiest thing of all assuming the new collective bargaining agreement comes with some sort of rookie wage scale, as speculation seems to indicate.
-Fourth: team meetings and installation sessions. This is especially important for teams like the Miami Dolphins, who will be installing a new offensive scheme under first-year coordinator Brian Daboll.
So the question at hand is this: What should be the Miami Dolphins' first move once the lockout ends?
I was discussing this very topic the other day with my colleague and partner, the venerable Omar Kelly. Omar said the Dolphins would be best-suited to go after a running back first. Daniel Thomas, the team's second-round draft pick, fills a void at the position but the Dolphins still have a need for a stretch-the-field speed back. It'd be a wise move to make that a priority.
Still, I disagreed. No, I think the first thing the Dolphins should do is add the veteran quarterback that general manager Jeff Ireland and coach Tony Sparano would like to add to give Chad Henne some competition for the starting job. If the Dolphins are in fact going to make a move at quarterback, it makes sense that they'd want to do it quickly.
Think about it: Miami, like every other team in the NFL, is already going to be up against the clock. And time will be especially important for the Dolphins, who will be learning Daboll's new offense. If the team wants to add a veteran quarterback – and it would likely have to come through a trade – then the Dolphins should act quickly so that quarterback has ample time to adequately challenge Henne.
If, say, the Dolphins try to trade for a veteran like Kyle Orton, then Orton – or whomever it is – would be best served to arrive quickly in South Florida. He'd need ample time to learn a new playbook, familiarize himself with the personnel and gain a sense of standing in the locker room. The more time passes, the less likely it is that another quarterback would be able to step in and challenge Henne.
At least, that's what your rookie NFL scribe thinks. This is, of course, all conjecture.
About the only thing we do know is that it's going to be a crazy, weird time once the lockout ends and the league is back to business. As Willy Wonka once said, there will "so much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it."
And if you're Ireland – with so much to do and so little time – what's your first move?

What is the best way of expressing 'dates back to' in Mandarin? e.g. the family's lineage dates back to 1720..etc
Chinese Language Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for students, teachers, and linguists wanting to discuss the finer points of the Chinese language. It's 100% free, no registration required.

'Dates back to' is usually translated into '追溯到', which literally means 'trace back to'.
When used in a sentence, people usually add 可以 (can/may) or 要 (have to) before 追溯到, for example:
A very formal way to translate this word is "追(zhuī)朔(shuò)到(dào)"。
For example: 中(Zhōnɡ)国(ɡuó)的(de)历(lì)史(shǐ)可(kě)以(yǐ)追(zhuī)朔(shuò)到(dào) 5000 年(nián)以(yǐ)前(qián)。 ( China's history dates back to 5000 years ago.)

great for highschool racing
Great for highschool racing team. I have 2 boys,1 in 9th and the other in 11th. These are the best goggles they have tried so I bought a bunch during your end of season sale. Only once during the entire season did they not stay on after a starting dive. Unfortunately it was a 500 yd race. But 4 events per swimmer at each meet and only once did they come off is excellent.

Wasn't for her
If your face is narrow, this product may not work. We bought it with a few others to see which fit best. Didn't use them. There was problems with her other goggles causing constant bruising and swelling under her eyes and cheek bone curvature. Did some research and learned that fitting is everything. They are now only her race goggles, so looking for something for daily practice wear
Greenwood IN
Comfortable and air-tight
My first time using goggles that fit right around the eye socket and I love them! I was concerned that they might feel constricting but I barely notice they're on. I bought the tinted ones, which seem to make me more relaxed and "in the zone" as I do my laps...soothing and dim. They come with three different sizes of bridges for across the nose, so I may try for a larger spread, as when I remove the goggles I feel pinching in the corners of my eyes near the bridge of my nose. I don't fee that while swimming, however. No water leaks into these goggles at all! Wonderful!
Eileen B.
Perfect fit
I usually purchase a new pair every three months...they're excellent goggles, and they fit perfectly to my face without irritating my eyes. If you keep the inside of the lenses dry and only blot at water droplets, they won't start to fog for a month or two. I swim on a daily basis, and this may not be the case for everyone, but they are the most comfortable and clearest goggles that I have been able to find. The straps are pretty easy to adjust as well. As for them coming off, I haven't had that happen yet, but I do wear my cap over them.
these are the goggles that my 17 year old likes to wear for competition. She has been wearing them for 3 years.

Good but not as good as RacTec
I bought these because I can not find metallized RacTec goggles any more. The RacTec fit me better and are more comfortable.
Sarasota, Fl
Not too comfy
I had to really tighten these to not leak. Experienced leaking with my first kick turn. After a 45 minute swim, these things are stuck to my eyes and is a bit painful. These would be good for shorter time frames. For a long swim, will opt for more comfy googles like my Aquaspheres.

good fit with nose bridge choices, strap does not stay tight, loosens when rinsing while on. annoying to have to keep pulling strap to keep tight.

The Milford boys cross country team raced well ahead of the pack to win the 2012 Kent County Cross Country Championship meet held Monday afternoon at the Millponds Nature Preserve. Smyrna High School won the Girls Division easily outpacing second-place Milford and five other area schools. Milford senior Henry Phalen was the overall winner in the time of 17:06. His teammates James Hagen and Trevor Maloney finished second and third respectively. In fact, the Buccaneer runners total 23 points, and had five of the top 11 runners on the cool and crisp autumn afternoon, a perfect weather day for a cross country meet. After the race, a tired, but happy Phalen said that his time was a personal best on the Buccaneers home cross country course. "It definitely felt good to win my last race on this course, and it was also great that my team was also able to win the championship today," he said. Phalen is planning to go to college next September to study Engineering. As far as running in college, Phalen added he will probably run to stay in shape, but doubts whether he will run competitively after high school. Following Milford, Caesar Rodney's team came in second with 56 points, Dover finished with 81, Smyrna was fourth with 94, while Lake Forest, St. Thomas More and Polytech were the bottom three finishers. The closest race was between St. Thomas More, who's team had 165 points, while Polytech had 168. In the Girls Division, there were some close races, as Smyrna edged Milford 47-54 to finish one-two. Caesar Rodney finished third with 76 points, just ahead of Lake Forest with 84 and Dover with 99. Polytech easily finished ahead of St. Thomas More 154-192. Milford's Alexis Groce (19:47) finished 19 seconds ahead of Smyrna's top runners Tori Vickers (20:06) and Erin Cooper (20:21). Groce said she enjoyed the race and that the weather conditions helped her stay on pace throughout the race.

The following is an industry press release...
AURORA, Ill. (January 21, 2013) – The fourth stop of the 2013 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, returns to Overstock.com Coliseum this Saturday with one of the sport's greatest championships points race ever starting to heat up. Only twice has the 450SX Class had four different race winners in the first four races, and this weekend that record can be tied should a new race winner emerge. Last weekend in Anaheim, Calif., Monster Energy Kawasaki's Ryan Villopoto, who is the two-time defending 450SX Class Champion, became the third different winner in as many races to claim a Main Event win. In the Western Regional 250SX Class, GEICO Honda's Eli Tomac, brings a three-race win streak into Oakland.
At last Saturday night's Monster Energy Supercross race at Angel Stadium, Monster Energy Kawasaki's Jake Weimer opened the 450SX Class Main Event with the Nuclear Cowboyz® Holeshot Award to with Team Honda Muscle Milk teammates Justin Barcia and Trey Canard in tow. After a sixth-place start, Villopoto began to charge through the field, eventually passing Canard on Lap 5 for the lead and rode to victory.
After a 17-year career competing at Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM World Championship, Kevin Windham decided to hang up his boots Saturday night at Angel Stadium. A true iron man and legend in the sport, Windham racked up 207 starts and earned 18 Main Event wins, 75 podium finishes and went 14 seasons with a podium finish. With a career average finish of 5.8, Windham is third on the all-time consecutive start list with 100.
"The hardest part of all is to hang the boots up," said Windham. "It has been such an amazing ride, and ever since the Houston supercross, where I took the big crash, it has been weighing on me hard. This is my opportunity to step away with my health. Today is the day that I step away. The GEICO Honda team has been amazing. It has been the most amazing ride, and I am so thankful for every opportunity that I have been given."
"The season didn't start like we wanted it to," said Villopoto, who ended a five-race winless streak – tying for the longest he's had since capturing his first career win during the 2009 season. "I had a decent race in Phoenix and the team made good changes to the bike this week. We've finally got the ball going in the right direction and are digging ourselves out of the hole. Once I got into the lead, I was just trying to click of the laps and keep it consistent. The track was really slippery tonight, but I still tried to keep the pace up."
Current 450SX Class points leader Davi Millsaps finished fourth and holds a three-point championship-points-standings lead over Canard, who finished second in Anaheim. TwoTwo Motorsports Honda's Chad Reed earned his first podium finish of the season with a third-place finish. Villopoto now sits in fourth place in season standings, just 11 points out of the lead.
In the 250SX Class, Tomac hopes to pick up his fourth win of the season, but in his way stands rivals Ken Roczen, and Cole Seely. Seely was last weekend's early leader but on Lap 8 Tomac made an impressive pass for the lead and rode off to the 10th win of his career.
"I definitely started off slower [today]," commented Tomac, who has been under the weather. "I was good in one practice and struggled in the other, so it definitely made the race matter that much for the [win]. It was a great battle out there. The track was tough, so I had to keep my feet tight and the bike under control. From now on I just need to keep it on the podium."
Tomac's lead now stands at nine points over Roczen, who has finished second. Seely, who finished third, is third in season point standings and is 17 points out of the lead.
During the 2012 stop in Oakland, James Stewart of Haines City, Fla., became the fourth rider in four different races to win a 450SX Class race and broke his five-race winless streak. Tomac took home his second consecutive 250SX Class victory of the season.
Saturday night's 450Sx Class race will air on CBS Sunday, January 27 CBS at Noon ET and SPEED will air the 250SX Class race at 1:00 p.m. ET.
Tickets are available at the O.co Coliseum Box Office in Oakland, all Ticketmaster Outlets, charge by phone at (800) 745-3000, www.supercrossonline.com, or online at www.ticketmaster.com.

At one point, six fires were blazing across Utah; and most of them forced hundreds of people from their homes with a moment's notice. Some of you reading this were likely among the evacuees, left with time to snag nothing more than a duffle bag of photos before running out the door. In this case, our regard for personal effects like clothes and toiletries goes out the window, so the Utah Red Cross says it's smart to have a pre-packed hygiene kit, which could serve as a small luxury when forced to camp out at the high school-turned-fire shelter. Here are some suggested items for your kit:
1. Dental Essentials
If I can't convince you to pack travel-size toothpaste, a toothbrush, dental floss (that can moonlight as twine) and mouthwash (which multi-purposes as an anti-bacterial treatment and deodorant), at least store some disposable toothbrushes like these, found here.
2. Wet Wipes
A Costco-sized pack can hold hours of poor-man's showers, and also serve to clean spots out of clothing, sanitize surfaces, be used as toilet paper and everything else we love these things for.
3. Feminine Hygiene
Imagine being stuck without a convenience store when the time hits! Don't make yourself extra-miserable by leaving these out.
4. Sunscreen
Use it as your lotion, while ensuring that time spent outside (which could be a lot in this situation) doesn't leave you with a nasty burn.
5. Comb and Hair elastics
Showers will be few and far between, so make sure your hair doesn't get nappy by combing often, and tying it back in a ponytail (or cute piggy-braids). Hair elastics, as we ladies know, can serve other purposes, as well.
6. Shower gel
Include one bottle of all-in-one shampoo/shower gel to use to wash your hair, body, clothes, dishes, etc. It can also be used in place of shaving cream (which reminds me, pack razors if you think of it, but in an emergency, this wouldn't be my main concern). Philosophy makes a good one.
7. Deodorant
That is, if you don't already go au-natural, using only essential oils like me.
These are the basics, but think of the items you use every day (and would REALLY be miserable without), and pack a mini-version in your preparedness kit. You can fit all this stuff in a tiny makeup bag, which you could place in an empty duffle bag for easy access when an emergency comes up. Here's to good vibes that it doesn't come to that. 'Nuff said.

Ulcerative Colitis and Stress
Medical Author: Melissa Conrad Stöppler, MD
Medical Editor: William C. Shiel Jr., MD, FACP, FACR
Viewer Question: My son has ulcerative colitis. Could stress be responsible for his flare-ups?
Doctor's Response: The severity of symptoms in ulcerative colitis (a chronic inflammatory disease of the large intestine and rectum) can vary depending on the location of the inflammation within the bowel and the severity of the inflammation. Doctors do not know the exact cause of ulcerative colitis. Most researchers do not believe that psychological stress is the cause of ulcerative colitis.
Nevertheless, it is known that stress may worsen the symptoms of this condition. And, it is therefore, recommended that people with ulcerative colitis practice stress-control techniques, along with eating a healthy diet and exercising regularly, to help control the symptoms of the disease.
Thank you for your question.

Sucking in the Savings
Operators visit each vacuum station daily to check the charts, meters, and gauges. This monitoring equipment allows the operator to easily identify and locate any problem that may occur. Photos: Airvac
The valve pit is easily accessible and designed so operators don't come in contact with raw sewage. No special tools are required, not even rubber gloves.
Sewer statsTwo-thirds of Cedar Grove's homes — 3,000 — are on a gravity sewer system and the rest are on a vacuum sewer system, giving public works ample opportunity to compare the performance of the two.
Sewers require at least some attention every day. They represent a significant part of the public works budget and require a substantial amount of labor. Perhaps most important, they're vital to a city's daily operation.
Cedar Grove, Fla., looked at all of these factors when considering sewer technology options about nine years ago. When its research was complete, the city chose to install vacuum sewers, a decision that has reaped benefits almost every day since the system became operational.
That's great news for me, because I became the city's public works director in 2002.
Cedar Grove has both gravity sewers and vacuum sewers, so we're familiar with the operation and maintenance of both. When it's time to submit an annual budget, it's clear why my staff and I are so pleased with the vacuum system's performance. It's easy to operate and maintain, requires less of our time, is more reliable, and presents fewer safety concerns.
Any public works director who has to send employees into a gravity sewer worries about the dangers: falling into manholes, working in confined areas with the threat of hydrogen sulfide gas, the moving parts and electricity associated with a lift station, traffic hazards, and contact with raw sewage.
Because of the potential for injury, we always assign at least two employees for maintenance or repair work.
Vacuum sewers present much less risk. There are no manholes, no confined spaces, and access to the collection lines is easy because they're usually buried 3 to 5 feet deep. A vacuum valve's moving parts are completely self-contained and there's never any contact with raw sewage at the valve pit. We have about 500 vacuum valve pits that are easily accessed at curb-side. No special tools are required; and because the pits operate pneumatically, no electricity is involved.
As the person responsible for employees' safety, I have no problem sending a single employee out to perform vacuum sewer maintenance and repairs.
Although both our gravity and vacuum sewer stations require daily servicing, we spend about 2 to 3 hours on the vacuum stations compared to 49 hours on the lift stations in any seven-day period (for details, see chart).
The gravity sewer collector lines require regular cleaning with a jet truck. The vacuum lines are self-scouring, so no jet cleaning is necessary. Also, vacuum sewers are inherently tight, which prevents stormwater and groundwater from entering the system, thus saving costs at the treatment plant. Manholes and lateral connections are notorious for leaks, which vacuum sewers eliminate.
The gravity lift stations put crews in contact with sewage: They have to open the lift station hatch, clean the floats, add degreaser, exercise the pumps, and hose out the wet well. It's a tedious and often dirty job. Because all of the vacuum system's equipment, including the collection tank, is completely sealed, sewage is contained and the vacuum station remains clean and odor-free.
Last year we had two after-hours call-outs for the vacuum sewer. Both involved the vacuum valve controller, which caused pipeline vacuum levels to decrease slightly. But the inherent vacuum reserve in the pipeline, coupled with additional run time of the vacuum pumps, was sufficient to maintain system vacuum so that no customers lost service while the problem was being fixed. These types of problems typically are corrected by one employee in less than an hour, including travel time, time to isolate the faulty valve, and repair time.

Kitchen appliances are the bane of newlyweds. Having been married three times, I've unwrapped a gamut of gadgets–electric can-openers, the inevitable toasters, panini-makers. I'm basically an iron skillet and wooden spoon kind of cook, so most of these labor-savers have ended up in garage sales after the requisite politeness period of gathering dust on the kitchen counter.
Seven or eight years ago–anyway, last wedding–we were given a Cameron stovetop smoker. The culinary friend who gave it to me said she and her husband used it all the time, that it was so easy! that I'd love it and she was sure we'd use it all the time.
I didn't say anything except thank you, but in my mind I put this gift in the electric can-opener category and shoved it under the bed.
Three weeks ago, we finally unwrapped it and, on a crazy whim, decided to give it a try before taking it to DI.
Since then, we've eaten smoked fish once a week. Totally hooked.
It's so easy. Basically a roasting pan with a rack and a locking lid, there's nothing to plug in and no batteries to buy. You just put some wood chips in the bottom, cover them with a drip pan, arrange your food on a rack over that and put it over a medium-hot burner. When you start to see smoke, lock in the lid and set the timer. Depending on what you're smoking (haha), dinner will be ready in 10 minutes to half an hour.
To many of you, I probably sound like I just discovered fire. (It's so hot! It cooks food!) Stovetop smokers are not a new invention. But this thing is so simple, it's like discovering another iron skillet.
Sure enough, we use it all the time. Last night: smoked Coho salmon, butter lettuce with blue cheese dressing, fresh ciabbatta from Harmons. Last Saturday: smoked Idaho trout, green beans with pancetta, corn with caramelized onions, dill bread, tomato salad.
Thanks, Maureen.

I guess the first poster should have said is there any possibility that the City of Boulder would cancel the event because of the damage that the race would do to the park.
Sunny and warming for Boulder Cup
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Starting tomorrow, it will be sunny, the temps will climb and will be in the 50's for the 2 days prior and 40's tomorrow. Plenty of time for the snow to be gone and any the dirt to dry/firm up by Sunday morn.
Personally, if it doesnt, I dont want to race there b/c it would be nearly 100% mud per the current course design (and probably peanut butter mud) since there there is little to no grass on the site/course as of yet.
C'mon Sun!

No, not really, just being sarcastic and feeding into the psyche of all the negative types out there. I assume that is what you were referring to. Will be interesting to see what the conditions end up as for Sunday. Saturday's not as big a deal given the relatively flat terrain.

Run to You (Mass Market Paperbound)
Rachel Gibson, New York Times bestselling author of Rescue Me, returns to Texas with a tale of what happens when a tough guy meets his match and falls harder than a ton of red-hot bricks . . .
There's nothing like fleeing Miami to ruin a girl's day.
Stella Leon's bartending gig was going fine until gorgeous ex-Marine Beau Junger decked her mob-connected boss, spirited her out of the city, and claimed that Stella's half-sister the one with the perfect life sent him. Now Stella has no choice but to go along for the ride . . . and seduce
Beau's military-issue socks off . . .
The Marine Corps was Beau's escape from his old man's legacy of naval heroism and serial philandering, but no amount of training could prepare him for the day he looked in the mirror and saw his father staring back. The answer: swear off meaningless sex. Oh, and find a way to make Stella Leon quit being so damn hot . . .
About the Author
With the publication of "New York Times" bestselling author Rachel Gibson's first book, readers discovered one of contemporary romance's freshest voices. Four of her novels were named among the Top Ten Favorite Books of the Year by Romance Writers of America.

|Klas, Midles claim WAC weekly honors
DENVER - The Western Athletic Conference announced Idaho's Jeremy Klas and Gabby Midles as its Verizon Wireless Men's and Women's Field Athletes of the Week after the two had strong performances at the WAR3 Dual meet on Saturday.
Klas earned his second career weekly conference award after clearing a WAC-best 16-8.75 (5.10m) to win the men's pole vault at the meet. The height is an outdoor personal best for the sophomore from Moscow, Idaho (Moscow HS), and ties him for second all-time at Idaho in the event.
Midles, a sophomore from Camas, Wash. (Camas HS), earned her first career weekly award after hitting a personal-best 187-11 (57.28m) in the hammer throw at the WAR3 meet. That toss is the best in the WAC this year by a four-foot margin and also ranks 13th in the West Region and 28th in the NCAA.
Midles also improved her standing as second all-time at Idaho in the event and is less than three feet away from Jenn Broncheau's school record of 190-10 (58.17m) from 2006.
The awards are Idaho's fourth and fifth of the outdoor track and field season. Vandal athletes took five weekly honors during the 2010 indoor season.
Klas, Midles, and the rest of the Idaho track and field team will be in action all week long at the Mt. SAC Relays at Walnut, Calif.

Just BEE-cause Tea Party (18 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Life is full of special moments; big moments, small moments and all those in between. I believe in (and love) celebrating "Just BEE-cause" and this tea party was the perfect occasion for doing just that with our friends. I enlisted the help of Piggy Bank Parties to bring my "Just BEE-cause" party to life. They created a whimsical and fun bee collection with dainty details, amazing beehive party favor boxes and adorable signs I could customize for our party. Our little guest enjoyed PB & Honey tea sandwiches, Fruit with Honey Yogurt Dip, Lemon Honey cupcakes, Chocolate Covered Oreos and Honey Rosemary Lemonade. I really wanted a beehive cake so I made one and added adorable buzzing bees from Edible Details. Brittany also captured the dainty details in the adorable cupcake toppers and 3D fondant beehives. As an added treat I ordered honeycomb Chocolate Covered Oreos from Sweet Temptations, delicious and pretty. In addition to the beehive favor boxes each guest took homemade Peanut Butter and Honey Play Dough home as a reminder of our fun afternoon. This was one sweet party and my girls loved having a tea party with their friends "Just BEE-cause"

ZF-11159: wrong 'type' attribute on TEXTAREA for Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_SimpleTextarea
I just noticed the Zend_Dojo_Form_Element_SimpleTextarea element is not properly rendered by its view helper. A 'type' attribute is added in contradiction with the HTML 4 specification (http://w3.org/TR/html4/…).
I would suggest removing the commented line in the following code from the view helper (Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_SimpleTextarea):
public function simpleTextarea($id, $value = null, array $params = array(), array $attribs = array())
if (!array_key_exists('id', $attribs)) {
$attribs['id'] = $id;
$attribs['name'] = $id;
$attribs['type'] = $this->_elementType; // <= REMOVE THIS LINE
$attribs = $this->_prepareDijit($attribs, $params, 'textarea');
$html = '_htmlAttribs($attribs) . '>'
. $this->view->escape($value)
. "\n";
return $html;
Agree with the solution of the orginal poster, all tests run, file attached
Is there any case where this change in behavior would break an existing application?
I don't see any as this attribute is not allowed by the HTML specification. Furthermore, any use of this unexpected attribute would be erroneous.
Agreed. Patch applied to trunk and 1.11 release branch.
Pull request for porting the patch in ZF2 is sent: https://github.com/zendframework/zf2/pull/307
