Pallet Survey: The pulse on pallets
November 01, 2012 - MMH Editorial
The who, what and how of pallets
Who is using pallets, what are they using, and how are they using them?
For starters, most respondents (58%) are involved in manufacturing, with a variety of industries represented. Wholesale distributors (17%) and retailers (6%) are also represented.
The respondents represent a solid mix of large companies with revenues exceeding $1 billion (17.5%), mid-size companies with revenue of between $250 million and $999 million (12.2%) and small companies with revenue below $250 million (70.3%).
For these users, a number of factors go into the decision to buy a certain type of pallet, but the purchase price is still the most important factor, cited by 63% of readers. The cost per use is cited by 35% of readers, suggesting that readers are getting more than one trip out of their pallets.
Other factors include:
55% strength
49% durability
43% customer requirements
38% reusability
- 33% availability
Wood pallets are still predominate. They are used by 94% of readers—no surprise there. However, pallets manufactured from alternative materials are in the mix, with some readers also using:
40% plastic pallets
17% wood composite
8% cardboard/corrugated
- 7% metal
While there was a large demand for plastic pallets a few years ago following the introduction of a pool of plastic pallets by iGPS, demand for plastic pallets among Modern's readers is largely unchanged in the last year. While 27% report they are using more plastic pallets, 13% are using fewer and 60% say there has been no change in their use of plastic.

ZF-2872: Zend_XmlRpc_Server throws an exception "Calling parameters do not match signature" with base64
Zend_XmlRpc_Server throws an exception "Calling parameters do not match signature" with base64.
Code to illustrate
* Enter description here...
* @param base64 $data
* @return base64
public function setAvatar($data) {
return $data;
$client = new Zend_XmlRpc_Client(".");
$avatar = array(
'type' => 'base64',
'value' => file_get_contents('avatar.jpg')
$response = $client->call("setAvatar", array($avatar));
From XML-RPC server we got error "Calling parameters do not match signature", and if we change {{@param base64 $data}} to {{@param string $data}} no error happens.
I've watched code, so here is my opinion on this Issue:
One part of issue is in Zend_XmlRpc_Request, in loadXml method. It's parses XML to params (protected member $_params) and saves them as native PHP array with native PHP types. So at this part information about base64 in RPC request is lost.
Second part of this Issue is in Zend_XmlRpc_Server, in _handle method. It's uses params array from Request (Zend_XmlRpc_Request, witch has native PHP types) and compares them with RPC method's Reflection data (where it has base64). Here we got this "Calling parameters do not match signature".
Possibly, fixing issue in Zend_XmlRpc_Request->loadXml and tiny fixes for all Zend_XmlRpc_Request to store data about requested param's types should solve this issue, but I'm not sure about depended Zend_XmlRpc functionality.
Fixed in trunk and 1.5 release branch
I'm assuming this fix is merged to the 1.5 release branch for release with 1.5.1. Please update JIRA if this is not the case.

Boulder Green Streets Presents Ciclovia 2012 this Sunday
Submitted by Amy Thompson on
Boulder Ciclovia Map
Boulder Green Streets and the City of Boulder will present the third annual Boulder Ciclovia, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 16. The Ciclovia transforms nearly three miles of Boulder's streets into a car-free public space for the community to engage in healthy, active, sustainable activities.
Two major activity centers connect the route: Pearl Street between 15th and 20th streets, and the North Boulder Recreation Center at 3170 Broadway. Activities will be free and include live music, dance, arts, fitness and recreation. There will also be opportunities to learn about local sustainability efforts, enjoy local and natural foods, and explore outdoor adventure gear and more.
"This event is a fantastic opportunity to experience our streets in a new way—free from cars and full of community. Come on out on Sunday, Sept. 16, to be a part of the global Ciclovia movement, play in the streets, and help make our community healthier, safer, more livable and fun," said Karta Elise Hassler, education and outreach coordinator for the city's Local Environmental Action Division. "Ride, roll or stroll down and leave your car behind."

This I believe is another holiday limited edition flavor put out by Vosges this year. I have seen more popularity surrounding the gingerbread flavoring in recent years, so it seems only natural that Vosges would find a unique way to incorporate it into their chocolate. I admit, I haven't encountered anyone yet who has infused gingerbread flavoring into toffee so they can put it into chocolate. Very creative!
The gingerbread spiced toffee is paired with a 65% dark chocolate. Milder that most dark chocolates but still it's not going to be too sweet for the infused toffee bits. The color is a pretty rich brown with a high gloss and red undertones to it. It smells sweet and slightly spiced.
The flavor is wonderfully complex. It stars off very sweet with buttery tones of the chocolate, which is very mild and rich for a 65%. Then you taste the toffee bits, which start off salty the and blossoms into a rich, buttery, spicy flavor of gingerbread. The gingerbread toffee is soft and slightly crispy so it adds a level of texture to the smooth creaminess of the chocolate. This bar had a wonderful play of sweet/salty, smooth/crispy and buttery/spicy. Really yummy!

Olive.You.Nanny is unique from other agencies because Sarah meets face to face with the prospective family. We had an extensive discussion about my family's needs regarding a caregiver. In the past, I have been skeptical about using an agency. However, Sarah employs a no pressure approach, and instead exemplifies a strong desire to ensure the satisfaction of the client. While I was waiting for other agencies to return my phone call, Sarah had already arranged several candidates for me to interview.
I have recommended Sarah to several friends and I will continue to do so in the future. If I have any additional caregiving needs, Sarah will be my first phone call
- Robin L
Olive.You.Nanny was prompt in their response and extremely professional. They spent over an hour at our home getting to know my husband and me while gaining an understanding of our desired qualities in a nanny so that they could make the perfect match for our family. Within weeks of our daughter's birth, they had arranged three interviews with potential nannies. While all three nannies interviewed were well-qualified and professional, we quickly made our choice as it was such an obvious match. It was also no surprise to Olive.You.Nanny who we chose as she had the same nanny in mind for us. We feel incredibly fortunate at how well our nanny has worked out for our family; we cannot imagine not having her. She is a truly loving care-giver for our daughter, which provides me the peace of mind to return to work. The success of our nanny search can be directly credited to Olive.You.Nanny and their ability to understand our needs and the fact that they took the time to find the perfect match.
- Jorrie
We were able to interview 3 candidates within the week, all of whom were what we were looking for: energetic, caring and creative. We hired one of the three. The whole process was as quick and painless as it could have possibly been! We really appreciated Olive.You.Nanny's attention to what we were looking for, and for sending us only candidates who fit the bill-- we didn't waste any time interviewing candidates who weren't right.
- Lorrie E
As a new mom, the idea of leaving my young baby with any nanny was very upsetting and scary to me. Olive.You.Nanny gave me confidence that they would find me the perfect nanny and would not stop their search until I was 100% comfortable and satisfied with the nanny. They were true to their word. They found our family the perfect nanny: one with extensive newborn experience and a sweet, kind personality.
I am 100% happy and comfortable with our nanny. It is thanks to Olive.You.Nanny's thorough understanding of what kind of nanny I needed for my baby. While it is never easy leaving my baby to go back to work, it is much easier because Olive.You.Nanny took the time to understand what kind of nanny I needed to make me comfortable, and then worked hard to find us the perfect fit. And they did.
We are very pleased and would highly recommend Olive.You.Nanny to find your family a nanny who is your "perfect fit".
- Wendy S
They are always available with their expert opinion - helping to make a difficult decision a little easier. We especially appreciated Olive You Nanny's ability to find us multiple candidates - and to keep presenting options until we found the perfect fit for our family. Olive You Nanny comes with our highest recommendation. They are our "go to" resource for childcare in Chicago.

Last Modified: Sunday, March 17, 2013 at 7:18 p.m.
As of 10:50 a.m. Sunday, both northbound and southbound lanes of Interstate 95 were reopened to traffic.
The interstate was originally shut down between S.R. 44 (Exit 249) and S.R. 46 in Brevard County (Exit 223) due to a combination of multiple crashes as well as visibility issues due to fog and a brush fire.

Tarahumara's salsa bar
Best Mist dish
The Campfire Plate
The molecular gastronomic extravaganza called Mist had the town buzzing about something besides Sundance this winter: 16 courses of over-the-top inventive foods, the likes of which this city had never seen before. Our fave was the campfire plate: charred beef with a can of beans and edible charcoal.
Best Soup Service
Chef's Table
At this Orem institution, your soup is served in an individual, portioned china tureen, covered until your server lifts the lid so you get a full rush of aroma. 2005 S. State St., Orem, 801-235-9111, chefstable.net
Best Wine Dinner
The Paris

It's getting to be a big, piggy habit. 1291 S. 1100 East, SLC, 801-487-0699, fincaslc.com
In other pig news: Creminelli Fine Meats started making lardo, the pure creamy fat beloved by connoisseurs, and Mist introduced us to the joys of bacon dust.
Best Quick Breakfast
Les Madeleines
This toaster pastry–so not a PopTart–takes the ersatz and makes it better, a reversal of the usual course of American civilization. A buttery pastry pocket encloses intense fruit jam. 216 E. 500 South, SLC, 801-355-2294, les-madeleines.com
Best Table Trend
Communal tables
Ta-ta to the four-top. Restaurant seating these days is all about singletons, eating at the bar, like we do at Copper Onion (111 E. Broadway, SLC, 801-355-3282) and Finca (1291 S. 1100 East, SLC, 801-487-0699), or instant party dining at a communal tables, like we do at Pallet (237 S. 400 West, SLC, 801-935-4431) and Plum Alley (111 E. 300 South, SLC, 801-355-0543).
Best Pasta Dish

Best Food and Wine Pairing Menu
Frida Bistro
The weekly soup-to-nuts pairing menu at Frida consists of four courses of fireworks, each one paired with the perfect wine, making the best unexpected series of flavors in the city. For instance, Hongos al Ajillo—mushrooms with guajillo, green onions and garlic—and Marietta Old Vine Zinfandel. 545 W. 700 South, SLC, 801-983-6692, fridabistro.com
Best Pure Utah Decor
Portrait of Porter Rockwell at Pallet
Along with the dusky landscapes and Flemish still lifes by artist Courtney Derrick, wife of Pallet owner Rocky Derrick, lurks a portrait of Porter Rockwell, Brigham Young's "Destroying Angel." Utter Utah ambiance. 237 S. 400 West, SLC, 801-935-4431, eatpallet.com

The salsa bar at this Midway Mexican cafe features an ever-changing array of fresh, cooked, hot, sweet, thin, thick, fruit and chile salsas. Some are mild, others are hotter than the Human Torch. 380 E. Main St., Midway, 435-654-3465, tarahumara.biz
Best Supermom Dish
Bambara's Mac 'n' Cheese

Women's Hockey Rallies Past No. 8 Ohio State for Win
PRINCETON (11/24/12) - The Princeton women's hockey team turned the tables on eighth-ranked Ohio State and rallied for a 2-1 win on Saturday afternoon at Hobey Baker Rink. Princeton scored both of its goals in the third period to overcome a deficit a day after the Buckeyes did the same in the third period to rally for a win.
Princeton drew even 14 seconds into the third period when Alex Kinney scored on a blast from the top of the right circle after Princeton won the opening faceoff of the period and controlled possession until the Kinney shot. Corey Stearns won that opening faceoff and assisted on the Kinney goal for her team-best 13th helper of the season.
The Tigers and Buckeyes traded power-play chances through the middle of the period before Brianna Leahy scored her second goal of the weekend and third of the year at 16:46 to put Princeton ahead. The goal came off the rush with assists from Brianne Mahoney and Olivia Mucha as Leahy finished by driving to the net for the go-ahead score.
Kimberley Newell made a game-high 13 saves in the third period to keep Ohio State off the scoreboard and notch her fourth win of the season. Lisa Steffes made her first start for Ohio State and had 21 saves in the loss.
Ally Tarr, who had three assists in Friday's win for Ohio State, scored the lone Buckeye goal midway through the first period, scoring on a rebound from the left side of the net.
Princeton improved to 4-6-2 with the win, while Ohio State fell to 11-5-0. The Tigers host Union and Rensselaer net weekend.

ZF-1684: Tab inserted into temporary directory path if no path available in user's environment
I stumbled upon this when skimming through the Zend_Cache code. I don't have anything that uses Zend_Cache and I don't have admin rights on my Windows workstation to unset system environment variables so I can't verify this, but I figured I'd bring it to somebody's attention.
In Zend_Cache_Backend::getTmpDir() at Line 178, if Windows is detected and if no temporary directory path is found after exhausting all the environment variables, '\temp' is returned (which would be 'emp'). I believe this should look like the return statement a few lines above on Line 172 ('\temp').
Feel free to mark this as invalid if this isn't really a bug. Most of my expertise here revolves around Zend_Gdata. :)
Assigning to [~fab] to initiate issue review.
Confirmed as fixed in trunk (r6674).

Dear Sports Card Radio:
As a brick and mortar store owner in this already f***** up hobby, I would like to personally thank you for promoting wholesale pricing on your website for every customer to see in addition to where to go and how to get the product. What a genuine way to preserve any integrity left in this business. I know, I know, you love the hobby and only do what's best for it! With hobby friends like you who needs enemies?
|Hello Tim,
As a former shop owner myself I can feel your frustration. Emailing me might make you feel better for a day or two, but I would direct any sarcasm and angst you have against the people who are really "preserving the integrity in this business." Do you also email the wholesale distributors, Panini, Topps, Upper Deck, Blowout Cards, Atlanta Sports Cards, DA Card World? Or do you just email website owners who are shining light onto what a "f***** up hobby" this has turned out to be?
I will continue to publish wholesale prices - funny thing is, Blowout Cards and DA's prices are often lower. Imagine how many emails I get from people asking me to explain that!
Save your love - you're in a tough business. I am sure you are just frustrated. Glad I closed my store years ago.
Sports Card Radio
Dear Sports Card Radio:
To answer your question, I direct my sarcasm and angst to whom I feel deserves it, and yes that includes the manufacturers that over produce and proliferate this product to internet dumpers like the scums you mentioned in your reply.
Emailing you by the way didn't result in me feeling anything. I don't do things to draw reactions or glean a feeling from it. I have recommended your site for years to customers only to see more and more and more of you telling my customers where to go for cheaper product. Your time and talents seem on our side of things to be misplaced and you are promoting the sickness that oozes in this hobby.
You closed your store for whatever reason and now you carpet bomb the rest of us with this wholesale propaganda, further eroding the hopes of stores surviving. I hope that whatever endeavors you are in now or will be in the future, that your customer can buy those products and services cheaper than you can, and you get some of your own medicine. Either way I will survive and prosper even in a whore market like the one you perpetuate, and I am sure despite my hopes you will find your calling too.

One of my favorite TV shows is Shark Tank. On the show, business owners state exactly how much they make a product for - and how much they sell it for. The next day, these businesses are flooded with orders & sell millions. Knowing the wholesale price doesn't effect demand for a product one bit right?
Buying Sports Cards Wholesale requires a state re-seller ID or Permit in most cases. Visit your States Tax Board to find out the steps needed to obtain this. Keep in mind this is a competitive business and prices are going to be similar across the board for the most part. Find a distributor that gives you the best price and the best service and you can make money. The better relationship you have with your sales team, the better deals they may be able to offer you down the road.

Daisies were a consistent element throughout the party, including a daisy cake by Decadent Delights, cookies by Sweetopia and more. I created a new printable collection including invitation/menu designs, party circles, food/dessert labels, banner and more!

Reviews for Contest-Winning Rhubarb Meringue Pie
"I took this to a potluck last night and it disappeared quickly, with many compliments. The meringue turned out perfectly!"
"Perfect balance of sweet and tart. Crust is a very old family favorite, known by most as the "Pennsylvania Dutch" pie crust. The meringue is perfect, no weeping, just perfect! The filling is magnificent, very reminiscent of lemon meringue pie. Lovely. Wouldn't change a thing!"
"I threw out my old rhubarb cream custard pie recipe and will now use this one. Awesome!!"
"Very good."
"This is a great pie recipe. I had to bake it a bit longer than the recipe calls for - and the knife never did come out clean. I baked it until the crust looked done - about 70 min. in my 1950 gas oven. The pie set up nicely as it cooled. The meringue recipe is amazing. The meringue will hold up for 3 or 4 days (if your pie lasts that long!) I have made this pie for several occasions and it is a huge hit every time. My guests often tell me that this is the best pie they have ever eaten. A winner for sure."

The U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force arrested Glen R. Carroll III, 21, and his girlfriend, Kristina Miller, about 6 a.m. at the Village Inn Motel on U.S. 190, sheriff's Detective Don McKey said. East Feliciana Parish sheriff's deputies later booked Carroll in Clinton on a felony count of simple escape. Miller, 20, of Denham Springs, was booked with principal to simple escape. McKey said Miller admitted picking up Carroll from his work site at a sawmill near Amite about noon on Monday and driving him to Livingston Parish. Carroll was serving a two-year sentence for aggravated second-degree battery and was eligible for release in January 2014. He was eligible for a work-release program when he was transferred to the East Feliciana Parish Jail several weeks ago, Chief Deputy Cliff Hurst said earlier this week.

Warren Sapp - Tannehill will surpass Marino
Warren Sapp said Ryan Tannehill will surpass Marino's second season numbers. You remember. The 5086 yards year with 48 TDs. I am pretty sure Sapp was being 'Tongue and Cheek' with his prediction. However, he must have some belief in the ability and upside potential of Ryan Tannehill.
Ryan, I am not asking for 5000 yards and 40 TDs. But, 4500 yards and 32 TDs will get us to the playoffs.
I couldn't stop laughing after I heard Warren Sapp's Bold Prediction. I must admit. It made me feel warm all over. I might need to get a life. LOL
6 comments
I love Tannehill as much as any true Dolphin fan but I seriously had to laugh at that statement. Warren Sapp makes his living on these over-the-top statements that are nothing more than his arrogant bravado coming out. I think he just makes himself look stupid and his statement doesn't really help us. It just fuels the nay-sayers.
I seen the "bold predictions" segment also ....I must say it was quite entertaining. I have seen enough evidence now from Sapp. Mark my words Warren Sapp is secretly a Dolphins Fan. He always says good stuff about the Dolphins....This last statement was his latest positive comment about the Phins. It would be a miracle if it actually happened (especially with lost of Keller) but Im glad to hear anything positive about the Dolphins
Yes, as a UM alum - he follows us. No Doubt! And, I agree. Finally some positive press. Although, Ron Jaworski has high praise for our offense as well.
Well Tannehill has to average 3 TDs and 317 yards a game. With the way the rules favor the passing game it isn't that far fetched. However, it's a very lofty goal for any second year quarterback.
All the quarterbacks who have surpassed Marino's numbers were in the leaque a while before they accomplished it. Which only goes to show how amazing 1984 was for a 2nd year qb, who begins the season as the starter for the first time and then goes out and just shatters the record book.
I hope Ryan can do it but it is very unlikely.

A Lexington woman has been charged with being on school property despite being a registered sex offender.
Katrina JoDanya Buie, 36, of 299 Walnut Grove Road, was charged with two counts of a sex offender unlawfully on the premises of an educational property. She was arrested without incident and placed in the Davidson County Detention Center under a $5,000 secured bond. She is scheduled to appear Dec. 2 in Lexington District Court.
The Davidson County Sheriff's Office opened an investigation Oct. 5 in reference to a possible sex offender attending afterschool activities, according to a press release. Deputies allege Buie attended soccer games and practices with her child after school hours and on weekends.
The incidents occurred at Tyro and Northwest elementary schools.

Jamie Lee Curtis wants to expose herself to you. It is, she says, the only way to make things right.
Look at her, traipsing around a whitewashed Los Angeles photo studioin nothing but a sports bra and tight spandex briefs. When she strikes a pose, her dark blue eyes stare unabashedly into the camera lens. But don't let the swagger fool you: She knows she's taking a risk. The 43-year-old movie star, who bared her breasts in Trading Placesand did a bawdy striptease in True Lies, has certainly showed more skin in the past than she's flashing right now.But in a very real way, she's never been more naked.
At her insistence, the photographer, Andrew Eccles, is shooting her with no makeup, no manicure, no professional coif, no diamond jewelry and no high couture. The lighting is unforgiving. So is the full-body camera angle and Curtis' straightforward stance. But everything is just as the actress wants it. She says it's the least she can do.
"There's a reality to the way I look without my clothes on," she says. "I don't have great thighs. I have very big breasts and a soft, fatty little tummy. And I've got back fat. People assume that I'm walking around in little spaghetti-strap dresses. It's insidious—Glam Jamie, the Perfect Jamie, the great figure, blah, blah, blah. And I don't want the unsuspecting forty-year-old women of the world to think that I've got it going on. It's such a fraud. And I'm the one perpetuating it."
But not anymore. In an age when divas often use their clout to nix unflattering photos in magazines, Curtis has demanded the opposite: Glam Jamie will pose only if Real Jamie gets equal time. See that worry line between her eyebrows? It exists, she earned it and she wants it to show.
She even knows what this article should be titled. "True Thighs," she declares.
You might think that the Scream Queen—as she's been known since her star turns in a string of horror films, starting with 1978's Halloween—has lost her marbles. She hasn't. Quite intentionally, Curtis is reinventing herself. It's a process that started ten years ago, when she began writing books for children and discovered something more gratifying—she likes to say more "authentic"—than the pretending for which she gets paid millions. Her first four children's books, which are not only smart but also tend to land on best-seller lists, have dealt with issues as varied as adoption and mood swings. But they all share a common thread: It's okay to be you. The fifth, which hits bookstores this month, is the most directly self-affirming so far. Its title? I'm Gonna Like Me: Letting Off a Little Self-Esteem(HarperCollins).
Which, in a roundabout way, is how Curtis ended up here, in this airy photo studio, wearing unflattering undies, not a smudge of eyeliner and a big fat smile on her face. She knows that her body, held up as an icon of female perfection in movies such as, well, Perfect, has made some women think that they don't measure up. She knows how that feels—not being good enough. The daughter of two members of Hollywood royalty, Janet Leigh and Tony Curtis, this actress has struggled with feelings of inadequacy all her life. So while she knows that part of her still clings to her bodacious physical image, she is enjoying the hell out of poking a hole in it.
"You know, a G-string would make me look a lot better because G-strings make your legs look longer," she says, clearly pleased. "This underwear, it cuts you off. It's not good." When the "before" photos, complete with worry lines and exposed midriff, are in the can, Curtis looks radiant. "I love you people!" she yells at Eccles, before ducking into a back room, where a makeup artist and manicurist await. Only now, with Curtis' blessing, can the transformation to Glam Jamie begin.

A warming trend should settle over Orange County through early next week, the National Weather Service says, with winds pushing toward the ocean helping to keep the air quite dry.
High-pressure air over the West Coast should keep highs in the 70s, while more high pressure over the Great Basin will drive gusty winds.
That prompted a wind advisory from the Weather Service until 10 p.m. Thursday. Gusts could rise as high as 45 mph near the mountains.
The winds weaken over the next few days, with isolated gusts especially near foothills and mountain passes.
Otherwise, it's all about clear skies and sunshine.
Thursday and Friday look mostly sunny with inland highs of 70 to 75 Thursday, 72 to 77 Friday.
On the coast, it's 67 to 72 Thursday, 69 to 74 Friday.
Saturday's inland highs could reach 78, 67 to 72 on the coast. On Sunday, it's 70 to 75 across Orange County, with mostly sunny skies both days.
Expect highs of 70 to 75 again Monday, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, under mostly sunny skies.
Tuesday is just plain sunny and 71 to 76 inland, 70 on the coast.
By Wednesday, air flow could turn back toward land, making skies partly cloudy and dropping temperatures a bit into the 69 to 74 range.

Look! It's a Dress!
Does it look "home-sewn"? Probably. (That seems to be one of the worst possible insults Michael Kors can throw at somebody, so evidently it is to be avoided.) Does it have a few issues? Most definitely. (Bias facing? What? How?) Does my daughter like it? Yes, she does. Am I proud of myself for overcoming my irrational fear of garment sewing? Totally.
Okay, mission accomplished! You might even see a summer version of this one of these days.

Congrats on getting over your fear of garment sewing! The dress looks great and I especially love the photo of your girl twirling in it :)

It's about as far from "suck" as you can get - well done! And way to overcome your fear. That your little girl loves it is the highest praise. Hooray!

I know what you mean about home sewn. Most of my friends and family know what I create, but I strive to make things that strangers would think are store bought. ;)

OMG Lee! I did the same thing when my daughter was the same age! lol Mine was a "dumbed down" dress - a band with straps, no curved neck. Good for you!!! You did great! Glad to know there are other quilters afraid of garment sewing. ; ) Love your pretty photos!!

Very cute! You did a fantastic job!Clothing scares me. I made a skirt recently for my daughter and it was such a disaster that she hid it under her bed.
That is such a darling picture of your cutie twirling too.

ZF-7384: CLONE -Detach Zend_Cache from Zend_Loader
All ZF components should be loosly coupled and be able to be used alone without other components if possible.
Zend_Cache_Backend for example:
// Create a default logger to the standard output stream
A simple require_once would be faster and would decouple it from Zend_Loader, which makes it possible to use Zend_Cache without Zend_Loader. There are a few other places in Zend_Cache where this should also be decoupled.
Method _isReadable in class Zend_Cache, reported in the issue ZF-2891
change to method Zend_Loader::isReadable
This issue was basically eliminated with 1.8.1. For that version, I scrubbed all classes that used Zend_Loader to have a check for "class_exists()" prior to falling back on Zend_Loader. This allows user-defined autoloading to be used, and only uses Zend_Loader in situations where nothing was defined during autoloading.
We will not use require_once instead, as this would lead to code duplication of the class => file resolution logic (a point that's particularly important as we start looking towards 2.0 and adopting the use of namespaces).

Stallone provides bruising action in 'Bullet to the Head'
Published: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 4:38 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 6, 2013 at 4:38 p.m.
For the second time in less than a month, Hollywood has resurrected one of its most venerable action stars for another round of silver screen mayhem. The first was Kim Jee-Woon's "The Last Stand," starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, a film I found to be a brilliantly subversive reimagining of classic Hollywood archetypes.
Want to see?
• 'Bullet to the Head' is directed by Walter Hill and stars Sylvester Stallone, Sung Kang, Sarah Shahi, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Jason Momoa and Christian Slater. It is rated R for strong violence, bloody images, language, some nudity and brief drug use.
• 21⁄2 stars out of four.
• Now showing at Cinemark Tinseltown USA in Salisbury; the Grande 18 and Carmike Wynnsong 12, both in Winston-Salem; Regal Palladium Stadium 14 and Regal Oak Hollow Mall 7, both in High Point; and The Grand Theatre Four Seasons, Cinemark Brassfield Cinema 10 and Carousel Cinemas, GrandLuxe Theatres, all in Greensboro.
• Check out the movie news link under Entertainment at www.the-dispatch.com for show times and more information.
Now we have Walter Hill's "Bullet to the Head," a much more straightforward thriller starring Sylvester Stallone, who unlike Schwarzenegger hasn't ever really disappeared from acting, having starred in the two "Expendables" films as well as the latest "Rambo" and "Rocky" outings. Here we find Stallone back in anti-hero mode as James Bonomo, a career hit man whose partner has just been murdered in a brutal double cross.
Taylor Kwan (Sung Kang), a detective investigating the murder of his former partner (who also happens to be the last man Bonomo and his partner gunned down), connects the two cases and comes to Bonomo with an intriguing proposal — team up and help catch the mob boss who set the whole thing up and avoid prosecution for his own crimes.
Bonomo reluctantly agrees, but on one condition — they do things his way. And that means leaving a lot of bodies in their wake. The by-the-book Kwan isn't too keen on Bonomo's trigger happy ways, but as they move closer and closer to the truth it becomes more apparent that usual police tactics aren't going to work, and strictly abiding by the law will let evil men go free. Through Kwan's police work and Bonomo's brute force, they form the perfect team, but in the end their biggest challenge may be facing their own bitter hatred toward each other.
"Bullet to the Head" has a very specific 1980s vibe to it; a gritty, often lurid aesthetic that is somewhat refreshing after a seemingly endless glut of glossy, cookie-cutter thrillers. Hill uses the film, which is essentially a buddy cop riff, to explore the limitations of the law as well as the limitations of "cowboy" justice and the strange harmony that sometimes exists between them.
What makes it a lesser film than "The Last Stand," however, is that it doesn't quite explore its themes with the same kind of depth of form and content. Hill certainly has a background as a genre deconstructionalist, but Kim's modern-day Western outpaces him here. "Bullet to the Head" is less a formal experiment or genre subversion as it is a throwback, a scrappy B-picture with ice water in its veins.
The main issue is the script, which features some awkward expositional dialogue in which characters (usually the villains) explain the plot at points when it makes little sense for the two. Why are the bad guys explaining to their low level hit men how they bribed and blackmailed hundreds of politicians? To fill in the audience, of course, but it makes for an occasionally stilted narrative.
Still though, Stallone remains an entertaining presence, and watching him blast and beat his way out of sticky situations with a sarcastic quip is always a pleasure. Hill also provides some bruising action sequences that keep the film moving despite its script problems.
"Bullet to the Head" feels like a relic, but not in a bad way. Much like its star, it's a film from another era, and at its heart pulses a steely verve that is sorely missing in many modern action films. Hill isn't straining for political correctness or shying away from the violence inherent to the story he's trying to tell. He's showing the audience a good time. And with Stallone front and center, he succeeds in doing just that.
