Jonathan's Vaughters Darker Side Exposed
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Is this Jonathan's first time to expose that he was once a doper? Either way, great article in the NYTimes on doping in cycling and sports and the journey a Denver kid took that killed his dream to race.
The choice to kiss your childhood dream goodbye or live with a dishonest heart is horrid and tearing. I've been there, and I know. I chose to lie over killing my dream. I chose to dope. I am sorry for that decision, and I deeply regret it. The guilt I felt led me to retire from racing

I always assumed he doped,
Submitted by Jens (not verified) on
I always assumed he doped, hell, I assume every racer from that era doped. I'm glad he went public finally. Given his stance against doping and what he's built at Garmin I don't harbor negative feeling for JV.

Everything in that article

Everything in that article was completely obvious. Athletes train hard and in a world where others are doping, the only way to win is to dope. The only way to end that temptation is better enforcement. I think we already knew that.

Really? The only way to end
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Really? The only way to end PED use is better enforcement? Taking a cue from the Criminal Justice system, it's pretty clear that the success of simply increasing enforcement for all manner of criminal behaviors is minimal at best. Increased testing/enforcement and stiffer punishments generally does not deter most types of crime. Given the prolonged history of PED use in cycling and the current market realities of the sport, seems to me that the very culture of the sport must change (particularly at the pro level). Specifically, this must involve making PED use as socially unacceptable as other forms of cheating. Of course this will not completely end PED use any more than better social and criminal justice policies will end crime but I think it will lower the incidences of PED use.

Here's the thing on JV that I
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Here's the thing on JV that I find 'less than honorable'. For some time I and others have suspected that he doped during his career, as previous statements he's made have in so many words said so (or at least implied so). He decides to give up his dream as a pro cyclist, most likely coming to the realization that even with his doping activity he still wasn't as big a player in the sport as he hoped to be. He immediately goes on an anti-doping crusade, but he doesn't confess at the time. Of course not, he's still trying to establish himself in the team management side of the sport and being a confessed doper won't further his goals.
For many years, as he moves up the ladder of success (arguably much more successful as a team owner than as a rider) he continues his anti-doping crusade. This is good, but it would be better if he confessed. He doesn't. Not yet. Not even after hiring at least one ex-doper, one who has confessed, albeit only after having been caught.
Now we finally get a confession from JV. Why now? My guess is that he's tied to the Armstrong investigation and perhaps the USADA had something on him, too. So, they pressure him to make a statement against LA that can only carry any evidentiary weight if he implicates himself. So, to save himself from charges, he accepts immunity IF he testifies against LA. Now that we're likely weeks if not days away from all of this coming out anyway, he finds the moral courage (yeah, right) to confess publicly. Nonsense. Nothing courageous about this at all, it's just damage control from someone who's admitted that he didn't have the strength of his convictions to do the right thing when it mattered.
He can make his confessions now because he's finally reached a point where he's entrenched in the management side of things, and besides, the truth was going to come out anyway. Nothing brave or honorable about that.

Certainly an interesting perspective. I have to admit I have questions about "why now". Can't imagine this is all about finally dealing with his conscience.

Hybrid Legacy Trailer is…
- a dark, dynamic and epic sounding track, in the style of modern hybrid film scores. The track has the standard trailer length of 2 minutes and a half and contains all the dynamic changes, crescendos and buildups an epic cinematic trailer requires. It starts off with a dark pad, a subtle cool wobble bass and all sorts of electronic and orchestral atmospherics and risers, sounding eerie and horror. Things get more interesting as an intriguing harp arpeggio emerges and the atmosphere becomes even more serious. The soft sound of the harp can make the music suitable for fantasy or middle ages theme based movies or rpg games.
- The staccato strings offer all the thriller suspense your action packed visuals need, once they arrive around the middle, accompanied by big digital percussion and cinematic drums. The mysterious breakdown at 1:48 confirms the SF nature of the music, as more modulated electro basses deepen the sense of urgency, before the final stage in epic suspense, when everything adds up for one final grand buildup, exploding in an ominous unnatural synth horn trailer hit.
Useful as…
- music for motion picture advertising and trailers, as well as for video game trailers and production. It's suitable for titles and endings, commercials and promos and other forms of media entertainment advertising. It will take your After Effects projects and intros to the next level (so VideoHive authors help yourself to the preview!). It would work great in shooter or adventure games, cops and terrorists plots, as well as epic final battles between Good and Evil, men and zombies and other apocalyptic face-offs.
- Multiple electronic layers and effects send this hybrid score into science fiction territory, becoming the perfect underscore for a futuristic bike chase, involving androids and other robots fighting humanity for the tron of the planet or other intense episodes. As a bonus, you can use it for creative advertising and promos dealing with extreme sports.
- If you purchase this track for your project, please send me a link through my Profile page or Twitter and I'll help you promote it. Thanks !

Back by popular demand, I am teaching my online course on naturalism as a philosophy and worldview this May (just a few weeks away). Learn about all aspects of naturalism as a philosophy of life, and how to use it in practical ways and improve on it. In the process you will learn many of the basics of college-level philosophy.
The course begins May 1 and ends May 31. You study and participate at your own pace, as much or as little as you like, and you get to ask me any questions you want about the course topics all month long, and read and participate in online discussions with me and other students. I will direct and comment on readings each week and give weekly course assignments which consist of answering questions about what you've learned and what you think about it. The course text you have to buy is Sense and Goodness without God. All other readings and media will be provided to students free of charge (all you have to provide is access to the internet).
Course Description: This one-month course builds the foundations for practical philosophy. Learn how to develop and defend your own naturalistic worldview from studying a model example, and how to employ it in your daily lives and your understanding of the world. Learn the basics of how to develop and test a philosophy of epistemology (theory of knowledge), metaphysics (theory of existence), ethics (theory of morality), aesthetics (theory of beauty), and politics (theory of government), using logical, evidence-based reasoning. Based on assigned readings, lectures, and weekly class discussion online with Dr. Carrier (Ph.D. in the history of philosophy).
Tuition: $59
Must register by April 30 . And the course could fill quickly so register sooner rather than later. It may be a year before I offer it again.
More details here.
This time I've signed up with a new educational project, SecularActivism.org. As a growing consortium of teachers and experts, we will be offering an increasing array of college-quality mini-courses in many diverse subjects for the benefit of the secularist, skeptic, humanist, and atheist communities. We aren't offering this for college credit (so it's not for pursuing a career). We are offering this for the mere benefit of making this kind of knowledge and learning accessible to more people, in an age when college is becoming prohibitively expensive and inaccessible to a hard working public, and yet precisely when sophisticated knowledge needs to be more widely available.
SecularActivism.org lists several other courses of interest taught by other experts this May (and soon for June and so on), and those offerings will increase in coming months. The site link also contains an option to join a dedicated mailing list that will notify you of new course offerings as they are announced. My own courses I will announce on my blog here.
Participating is not only a good way to add to your learning and exploration of philosophy (and naturalism in particular), it is also a way to help support my continued work in all fields. If we can keep this educational project successful, it may finally bring me some income security. And do our community some valuable good in the process, by making courses of all kinds available to more and more people who most want to keep learning, for their own good and the good of the world.

This is an official blog for the Marin County Free Library.
All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
What is so special about January 10th? Well January 10, 1946 was the first meeting of the United Nations, which is definitely special. However, this year January 10, 2012 happens to be the day that John Green's new book A Fault in Our Stars come out. We are talking about THE John Green, renowned author and famed Nerdfighter (you know those among us who "fight to increase awesome and decrease suck"). John Green is going to be traveling around promoting A Fault In Our Stars. His only Bay Area appearance is going to be on Friday January 27. This event sponsored by Kepler's will be in Redwood City at the Fox Theatre. This is a bit of a haul from Marin but I know for a fact that some fellow Marin County teen Nerdfighters will be attending.

Happy September everyone! Want to know how to celebrate the new month? Here are a couple of solid suggestions for tonight.
Caddy's Shack at Massey Cadillac: I know what you're thinking, 'You want me to hang out at a car dealership?' But seriously, if you're into the networking thing this looks to be a great event. From 5 – 8:30 p.m. the folks at SoSocialEvents.com will have complimentary valet parking, glass of champagne (upon arrival) food samplings, gin and tonics, shoe shines, five-minute chair massages along with live jazz entertainers, over 100 exhibitors, gift bags and more. All they want you to do is dress like an adult (business attire) and give them $25 at the door. I don't know how the golf theme figures in, so if you go, let me know! Massey Cadillac is at 4241 N. John Young Parkway in Orlando. Go to SoSocialEvents.com.
Wine Not Wednesday at Dechoes in College Park: If hanging with the professional crowd is a bit much, head over to Dechoes at 2110 Edgewater Drive for their monthly "Wine Not Wednesday." Deals on vintage clothing and wine samples sounds like a great way to spend a Wednesday night. The event happens from 6 – 10 p.m.

EUGENE, Ore. - Brianne Beemer and Adam Salzmann led the University of Colorado track and field team at the Pac-12 Combined Events Championships on Saturday afternoon at Hayward Field.
Beemer is in fifth place in the heptahlon with 3,138 points and Genny Mayden is only 15 points behind Beemer in sixth place with 3,123. Alyssa Frank is ninth (3,017) and Katie Dreher is 13th overall (2,929).
In the decathlon, Salzmann is sixth with 3,590 points and Jason DeWitt is 10th with 3,513. Eddie Taylor is sitting in 15th (3,288) after the first day of action.
Beemer recorded a pair of top-six finishes on the first day in the 100-meter hurdles and the 200-meters. She was sixth in the 100 hurdles, crossing the finish in 14.28 seconds and took fourth in the 200 with a time of 25.16. Beemer tied for sixth in the high jump with Mayden as both cleared 5 feet, 5 inches. Beemer was 10th in the shot put with a toss of 33-07.50.
"The Pac-12's multi championships has superb competition which has pushed us to season PRs," Beemer said about her and her team's performance on Saturday. "Hopefully tomorrow will prove more of the same."
Mayden did well in the shot put, placing fifth with a throw of 38-06.75. The mark ranks seventh on CU's combined events chart. She also clocked a time of 25.42 in the 200, placing seventh.
"I was really happy with my day one," Mayden said. "I had a PR in the 200, and all of my other events were very close to my PRs. I was able to put together a great day one score and hopefully I can build on that tomorrow."
Frank tied the fifth best jump in CU heptathlon history when she cleared 5-07.25 in the high jumps, placing third in the meet.
"I was really happy to improve on a few of my events for my first day and hope to take the same stamina into tomorrow," Frank said.
Salzmann ended the day by winning the 400 in 48.59. He was second in the 200 (11.13) and placed 13th in the long jump (20-06.25). Salzmann picked up a 13th-place finish in the shot put (37-03.50) and tied for 10th in the high jump, clearing 6-00.75.
DeWitt had a great day in the shot put. His throw of 40-09.75 ranks fourth in Colorado's decathlon history. DeWitt also recorded the fourth best high jump for the Buffs at 6-08.
"I am incredibly happy with my first day of competition and I can't wait to see what will happen tomorrow," DeWitt said. "I want to thank my coaches for giving me this opportunity to come out and compete at a place I've always dreamed about competing in."
Overall the Buffs had a great day on the first day.
"We had a phenomenal first day in the heptathlon and decathlon," assistant coach Lindsey Malone said. "Bri, Genny, Alyssa and Katie competed as a team and fed off one another's performances in each event. On the men's side, Jason and Adam set new personal lifetime bests for day one as well. Jason had an enormous breakthrough in the shot put and followed it up with a fantastic high jump. Adam capped off the day with a fearless 400.
"The men and women competed as an elite team today and I am incredibly proud of their representation of the CU track and field program. Everyone is healthy and ready to earn a spot on the podium tomorrow."
The Pac-12 Combined Events Championships will conclude on Sunday, May 6. All other events for the championships will compete next weekend, May 12-13.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs. Symptoms include breathing difficulty, cough, sputum production and wheezing. It's caused by long-term exposure to irritating gases or particulate matter, most often from cigarette smoke. People with COPD are at increased risk of developing heart disease, lung cancer and a variety of other conditions.
Emphysema and chronic bronchitis are the two most common conditions that contribute to COPD. Chronic bronchitis is inflammation of the lining of the bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the air sacs (alveoli) of the lungs. It is characterized by daily cough and sputum production. Emphysema is a condition in which the air sacs (alveoli) at the end of the smallest air passages (bronchioles) of the lungs are destroyed as a result of damaging exposure.
COPD is treatable. With proper management, most people with COPD can achieve good symptom control and quality of life, as well as reduced risk of other associated conditions.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Herbs
No-Soil Gardening
by Howard M. Resh
What started years ago in laboratories is today a system of crop production used around the world. It is also a way for home gardeners to produce high-quality fresh vegetables, herbs, and ornamental plants efficiently year-round.
Even though commercial and homemade systems are simple and reliable, hydroponic gardening retains its laboratory aura. Hydroponics began when scientists isolated and studied the six requirements for plant growth: temperature, light, water, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and mineral nutrients. Their goal was to determine the optimum amounts of each of these factors for a specific plant--an impossibility in soil outdoors.
The surprise came when the scientists got all the growth requirements just right. Gardeners who witnessed the astounding growth under these conditions were early converts to hydroponic gardening. Other advantages include no heavy soil to dig, no weeds to pull, and no soil pests and diseases to overcome.
Now in winter, with fresh vegetable prices rising and quality falling, is a good time to start growing your own crops indoors.
Types of Hydroponic Gardens
While the basic principles of all hydroponic gardens are the same, three basic systems have proven practical for home gardeners. In each case, plants grow in a sterile medium, instead of soil, and a small pump cycles a nutrient solution over roots.
Nutrient film technique (NFT) gardens are easy to build at home and are well suited to a variety of vegetables and herbs. They work by constantly passing a thin stream of nutrient solution past roots. Plants grow in specially designed channels such as gutters or PVC pipes.
Ebb-and-flow gardens are best for growing anything potted, such as house plants. A watertight tank or tub periodically fills, then drains back into the nutrient reservoir.
Drip gardens deliver a nutrient solution to plant roots using the same types of emitters as in outdoor drip-irrigation systems. Draining nutrient solution can be trapped and recycled, or allowed to drain away.
Growing Media
Instead of soil for root growth, hydroponically grown plants need a porous but stable and inert material. Different materials can work, depending on the situation. Washed, 20-grit sand, various gravels, redwood bark, polyurethane foam, coconut fiber, perlite, and vermiculite will serve. But the two you're most likely to encounter and use are rock wool and some type of expanded clay.
Rock wool is manufactured by melting rock and extruding it into fine threads that are then pressed into loosely woven sheets. These sheets are cut into cubes, blocks, and slabs. Chief advantages are its ability to hold water and still provide excellent air circulation around roots. It is also very easy to work with. Compared to other materials, it costs somewhat more.
Expanded clay is manufactured by heating various kinds of clays in kilns. The clays expand rather like popcorn. All provide excellent air circulation and don't break down quickly. They are most often used for potted plants in an ebb-and-flow system and are available under various brand names.

Dual-purpose dam
Designed for 100-year storms, the new dam has a double concrete weir and earthen embankments. Water flows through a 3-foot primary weir during normal weather. During storms, the lake stores an additional 522,750 cubic feet of water before overtopping the secondary, 70-foot-wide weir. Cascade blocks on the downstream side slow velocity, minimizing erosion and increasing dissolved oxygen levels for fish and macroinvertebrate. Photo: Merrie Carlock
The 42-acre preserve is home to great blue herons, cormorants, owls, red-tailed hawks, and waterfowl as well as red fox, mink, and deer. One of the few sites in southeast Oakland County with open water and wooded canopy, the preserve is a feeding and resting site for migrating songbirds and waterfowl as they pass over metropolitan Detroit. Map: Johnson Hill Land Ethics Studio
The 90-foot dam is anchored by pilings driven 40 feet deep. Once formwork was finished, concrete was piped into the forms. Photo: Merrie Carlock
Engineers used the dredging process to mimic the profile of a natural lake. Though on average 8 feet deep, some points are 10 to 12 feet. Sand spawning beds and native wetland plants on shallow shelves along the margins house turtles and shorebirds. Photo: Merrie Carlock

The people who pack the 45-space parking lot of a nature preserve in Southfield, Mich., would be shocked to learn that some residents opposed it. And that the 42-acre oasis of greenery amid office complexes and malls in the inner-ring Detroit suburb took more than three decades to come to fruition.
Now, of course, everyone loves it. Its 6-acre lake is the only place within 20 miles to go fishing, and the bass and bluegill are good eating.
"Most neighbors see it as an asset," says Stormwater Manager Brandy Siedlaczek, a certified stormwater manager. "But even though the community had long supported the park's acquisition, some saw it as an invasion of privacy."
Although parks are increasingly integral to managing stormwater, Siedlaczek hadn't worked with the city's parks & recreation department. But in 2003, after 30 years of legal wrangling, the city finally acquired most of what now constitutes the preserve. Siedlaczek spied a funding possibility both departments could use, and asked Park Planner/Landscape Architect Merrie Carlock to help pursue a mutually beneficial project.
Since then, they've partnered on stream bank stabilizations, permeable parking lots, reflective tennis courts, bioswales, interpretive signage on watersheds and now, the final phase in the nature preserve's development: building a LEED-certified facility that provides a vital (and required) educational component.

SHP identifies driver in tractor-trailer accident
Published: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 8:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 29, 2013 at 8:52 a.m.
The N.C. Highway Patrol has identified the driver of the tractor-trailer who left U.S. Highway 52 just short of a bridge and went airborne over Went Center Street Extension before crashing into an embankment late Thursday evening.
Brian Brooks, 44, of Calhoun, Ga., suffered nonlife-threatening injuries after his tractor-trailer was involved in the single-vehicle accident at 7:14 p.m., said Trooper J.J. Sherrill of the N.C. Highway Patrol. A spokeswoman with Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem said Brooks was listed in good condition Friday morning.
Lt. Alton Hanes, interim emergency management coordinator for Davidson County Emergency Services, said Brooks was operating an Atlanta B.A.H. Express tractor-trailer and traveling southbound on U.S. 52 when he went right of the bridge over West Center Street Extension. The cab of the tractor-trailer went airborne about 150 feet, traveling over West Center Street Extension before it crashed into an embankment.
Brooks was transported by paramedics to WFBMC. Sherrill said late Thursday night that the cause of the accident remained under investigation and charges were pending.

I am super happy that I found this candy: Zombie food by Skybar. If you are unfamiliar with Skybar, it's a classic candy made by Necco, that has four different sections that each have a different filling. I recall my Mom introducing them to me at a very young age, and she claimed it was one of her favorite candy bars. I will forever think of her when I see Skybar. I found this Skybar Zombie Food at Michael's of all places. I had stopped in for some things and saw them on the candy shelf while I was making my way to the checkout. The bring package immediately caught my eye, as did the word "Zombie" and the Skybar logo in the top left corner.
"So what is Zombie food?" I wondered as I picked up one of the packages. The front of the wrapper reads: "Milk Chocolate covered assortment of brains, feet, and hearts filled with and oozy red caramel". Well, that certainly explains it! I feel it's a terribly clever idea! I feel up the wrapper and I find the candy is one large piece, so I'm guessing it's one "body part" for each package. For my review, I was guessing that the one I had chosen was a brain, as the candy felt head-shaped. I was mistaken.
The first piece I tried was shaped like a realistic heart. It was leaking a little from one of the top corners on the back as the red caramel found a crack and tried to leak out. No matter, it still looked delicious, and I'm not a zombie!
The chocolate smells sweet and creamy. It reminds me of how a Cadbury Creme Egg smells. My first bite is quite flavorful. I was expecting the chocolate to be more hollow on the inside, and have the caramel be more liquid. The candy is not structured that way, although it was a very hot day when I did this tasting, so it's possible that the candy has lost some of its structure. The caramel is very buttery and toasted, it almost comes across as peanut butter to me at first. The combination of the caramel and chocolate is incredibly sweet, so much so that I had a hard time finishing the sample piece.
This candy was really tasty and really fun. I could see these being handed out at parties and to trick or treaters. They're the size of the Reese's Pumpkin, so they aren't as large as a normal candy bar nor as small as the mini sizes. I mentioned this find to my Mom and she asked me to save her some, which I will as I'm interested to see how she likes them. If you see these around I highly recommend you check them out.

I let the date command do the maths.
This version doesn't use seq.
A nice way to use the console in full screen without forget the current time.
you can too add other infos like cpu and mem use.
This is a different version from my original command: Console clock -- Beautiful (http://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/7902/console-clock-beautiful )
This one uses Boxes and Figlet.

NOTICE: You need to install figlet.
On Ubuntu, this command is:
sudo apt-get install figlet
On Debian, this command is:
aptitude install figlet
Mutes the speakers after an hour, in case you fall asleep watching a video...
I used curl instead of lynx.
No need for a colon, and one less semicolon too. Also untested.
There is no need for variables. I also added sleep to reduce cpu usage, however I didn't test it.
Of course, a fifo is required for piloting the fade out of another song, but with a few bash function, we can mix music in bash like :
crossfadeIn > mplayerfifo1 & crossfadeOut > mplayerfifo2
loop 0 10 > mplayer fifo1
etc etc

Cape Fear Independent Film Festival
The festival continues this weekend. Here's the lineup of events.
'Heart of the Country' premieres to friendly audience
Published: Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 8:18 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 11, 2013 at 8:18 a.m.
Several times before "Heart of the Country" made its premiere Friday night at the Cape Fear Independent Film Festival, you could hear a few people saying, "This is exciting."
Photo Galleries
They were about to see on screen their involvement with a movie made more than a year ago. "Heart of the Country" is a locally made movie written and directed by Wilmington native John Ward.
Many attending the movie's premiere had contributed to it either by raising funds, donating locations or working various positions on the low-budget drama. Bambi MacRae, sitting with her husband, Hugh, said they allowed the filmmakers to use their home at the request of daughter Meg, a producer on "Heart."
"(Meg) came to me and said, 'Mom, we really need to use your house,'" MacRae recalled with a chuckle. "I said no, but I got to thinking about it and said OK. I wouldn't do it for anybody but you."
Their daughter, along with Ward, could not attend the premiere. (Meg is completing studies for her masters in psychology), but producer Wayne Thompson was in town. A former talent manager (he's handled Tanya Tucker and Steven Segal) who segued into television and film production, Thompson praised the crew as "an all-star team" and thanked the community for its help in getting the film done on a small budget.
"They were tremendous at their craft, doing double, triple duties. This amazing group of people that wanted to make this movie, I think, because of John Ward being local," Thompson said. "We were very lucky and had tremendous support from the community. Many of the people here tonight provided us with accommodations (for locations and cast housing)."
By movie's end you could hear sniffles throughout the room, brought on by a story about Calvin Bartlette (played by Gerald McRaney), a father reunited with his estranged daughter Faith (played by country singer and actress Jana Kramer). "Heart" is in part a retelling of the biblical story of The Prodigal Son. Here, a daughter returns home from New York City after her Wall Street investor husband is thrown in jail and the company he works for accused of shady financial practices.
"There's only one thing harder than forgiveness. And that's asking for it." That no-nonsense dialogue comes from Calvin, a widower trying to reiterate ideals of commitment to Faith, who has become unsure about her marriage.
Its one of the movie's faith-based messages, like commitment or the sanctity of marriage, that's done without being pushy or too obvious. Thompson has been involved with other faith-based, family friendly projects but sees "Heart" as having longevity due to its warmth and poetential "chick flick" status.
"The father is the one who says, 'I thought you said for better for worse,'" Thompson said. "I feel in today's society it's too easy to break up. I've been married a long time and you have to work at it. I was very happy with the values John (Ward) brought to the script. Nothing was pushed on you, no preaching, but they're there."
What is obvious to anyone who's lived in Wilmington a long time will be the visibility of Southeastern N.C. in "Heart." Local musicians Justin Lacy and Jones Smith perform in the movie. Scenes shot on Front Street are inter-cut with New York City while interiors of homes and local businesses double for New York homes and bars. Exteriors in Forest Hills, Castle Hayne and Winnabow provide both city and country locales. Thompson stressed that Ward wrote the screenplay with hometown roots in mind.
"We were great at the fairy tale part. It's the real life part we're bad at," Faith says to Calvin about her failing marriage. It's dialogue just as easily at home in a country song, fitting given Kramer's increasing success as a singer. The former "One Tree Hill" actress was recently nominated for two CMT music awards and the cable channel will likely air "Heart" following the movie's run on DVD.
20th Century Fox picked up the movie for release on home video, something Thompson said all parties are happy with. Kramer is on tour with Blake Shelton this summer and Wal-Mart is supporting the movie's release. The movie features two songs from her successful self-titled debut and an unreleased track called "Reeds and Wild Flowers."
"Wherever she goes on tour with Blake we'll be doing promotions in Wal-Mart selling the DVD," Thompson said. "Then we're going to air on television. We're banking on her success as well because more people will see this movie."

Once models hit age 30, they usually also hit the end of the runway—but there are glorious exceptions. One is Kate Moss, 39, a top model who co-authored a retrospective of her 20-plus year career, Kate: The Kate Moss Book, and comes in fourth on Forbes's latest richest models list. More and more superstars in their 30s, 40s and, heck, even 60s are continuing to defy the 30-and-out rule to work—a lot. Some, like Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum, are now considered, as Forbes puts it, more mogul than model. But even leaving them out, it was easy for us to come up with this list of a dozen models still strutting on catwalks, starring in ad campaigns and making their beauty marks

Lawson's Surf Shack (44 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
To celebrate baby Lawson, Lori knew she wanted an intimate "sprinkle" with close family and friends. She and husband Pat loved the idea of their little surfer boy coming soon and so the theme was set: "There's a Baby on Board!" - a surfboard that is.
Lawson's custom Surf Shack was built by That's A Good Sign (Etsy Vendor.) The shack displayed delicious treats including Pineapple Up-Side Down Cake in mason Jars, Lori's favorite cookies in the shapes of Surfboards and swim trunks from A Cookie Jar (Etsy Vendor), decadent macarons by The Sugar Monkey, fruit skewers, pop-corn and plantain chips. The top shelf was decorated with gifts for Lawson including baby sun block, Reef flip-flops, beach towels, a beach ball and personalized sand pails for both Lawson and his big brother Parker. On the side of the shack hung swim trunks, shorts, goggles, flip-flops and an adorable fedora to start off baby Lawson's beach wear collection. The Shack of course also advised on the water conditions and a chevron surfboard saying "BABY" leaned up on the Shack to carry through the theme.
As the favor, each guest was given a personalized beach bag, along with a note saying "There's a baby on board and we are so excited! Thank you so much for celebrating with us! Please visit the "Favor Counter" in Lawson's Surf Shack and fill your new beach bag with some items to get you beach ready! Love, Lori & Lawson." Jars filled with sun block, nail polish and SPF lip balm waited for the guests and after dessert each guest visited the shack to fill their bags.
Guest were welcomed by a surfboard sign The tables was set with bright orange chiavari chairs, custom napkins were made in Lori's favorite pattern - Chevron, and beautiful tropical arrangements sat atop burlap runners. The tables were bright and inviting. Décor such as custom signs, orchids and pictures of the Tylander Family were set throughout the event.
A tiki bar was created by That's A Good Sign to match Lawson's surf shack. Blood Orange Mimosa's were the signature drink. Strawberries and Raspberries were also set out to make the mimosa even more fun. Arnold Palmer's; a mixture of lemonade and sweet tea have been Lori's favorite and so they along with Pineapple Juice were served. Champagne flutes and decorated mason jars added an element of feminine and fun.
Brunch consisted of Tea Sandwiches, Quiche, Orange Cranberry Scones and Fruit
Lori and her guest laughed, opened gifts, filled their bellies and laughed some more. In Lori's words "Today was perfect!"

ZF-2105: Zend_Filter::get() could be better named
{{Zend_Filter::get()}} may be better named {{staticFilter()}} or something similar, the goal being to indicate what the method does.
This issue should have been fixed for the 1.5 release.
This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
Please evaluate and categorize/assign as necessary.
+1 for getStaticFilter()
In the MVC layer Matthew has used this naming for the helperBroker too HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('x')
Matthew, please decide what we should do with this. 3 possibilities that I see: close as 'will not fix', mark as 'postponed' and fix version 'next major release', or handle it now by deprecating the get() method and adding the new method. The last possibility has the advantage that users could start migrating their apps now, although we may need to firm up our deprecation policies and processes before taking such actions.
Under code review since 26.06.2009
Implemented with r17073.
After discussion with the dev-team we changed the function name to Zend_Filter::filterStatic()

This is just straight up creepy. When even the compliant press turn against you there is clearly something very rotten in Denmark. From Politico:
The White House Correspondents Association is strongly urging the Obama administration to allow press access to the president's official swearing-in ceremony on Jan. 20, following indications from inauguration committee officials that the event could potentially be closed to the press.
Because inauguration day falls on a Sunday in 2013, Chief Justice John Roberts will officially administer the official oath of office in a private ceremony that day. The public inauguration on the Capitol Building's West Front — at which Roberts will administer a second, symbolic oath of office— will take place the next day.

|Men sweep WAC T&F awards
DENVER – For the second week in a row, University of Idaho men swept the Verizon Western Athletic Conference Track and Field Athlete of the Week honors, which were announced by the league on Tuesday.
Senior Stephane Colle earned WAC Track Athlete of the Week for the second week in a row, while sophomore Ugis Svazs earned his first career Field Athlete of the Week award. The two honors bring Idaho's total to eight so far this outdoor season. The Vandal men have won the last five consecutive field awards, with four different honorees during that span.
Colle, a distance runner from St-Eustache, Quebec (Concordia University), made an all-time Idaho top-10 entry for the second week in a row with a 3:47.86 and eighth-place finish in his heat of the 1500m at the Payton Jordan Cardinal Invitational on Sunday.
Colle's time is ninth-fastest in Idaho history and second-fastest in the WAC so far this season. It's the fastest time in the event by a Vandal since Bernd Schroeder ran a 3:45.08 in 1998.
Svaz, a thrower from Kuldiga, Latvia (Murjanu Sport Gymnasium), took over the WAC lead in the javelin on Saturday at the Duane Hartman Invitational with a career-best throw of 227-5 (69.32m), which is the best in the WAC by nearly 10 feet. He finished second overall and was the top collegiate thrower in the competition.
The mark moves Svazs to 13th in the West Region and 26th overall in the NCAA in the event, as well as third all-time in the Idaho record books. His throw is the best by a Vandal since Oscar Duncan's set the school record in 1996 with a toss of 238-6.
Colle and a small group of Vandal runners will compete in the Oregon Twilight on Saturday at Eugene, Ore., but most of the Idaho men's and women's team will be at home for the Vandal Jamboree on Friday and Saturday, the inaugural meet on the freshly-renovated Dan O'Brien Track & Field Complex.

text: So it's like a family tradition that my dad writes these series of hints that lead to other hints and eventually to a basket on Easter. Well this year my brother's and I's final clue led to my grandma's, so we hopped in my Dad's minivan and drove over. Now we both had the exact same final clue and we saw no other reason for it being over there other than there might be a car there, because my engine blew up in my Neon and there's 5 people at our house with 1 vehicle during the week. Alas, there wasn't a car :/ I know, "at least you have 1 car, ride a bike etc." but I literally live in the middle of nowhere and need a car to get anywhere. Just sucks to get my hopes up and then shot down >_>

What are the optimal wind speed, direction, and surf conditions for wind surfing?

Some of this will depend on your ability, strength and experience.
For beginners, you really want an offshore wind up to about a force 4 maximum with no waves. As beginners tend to use the uphaul method to get the sail up, any stronger wind will make it very difficult.
For an expert, an onshore wind at a force 8 or so can give you much rougher seas, and raise the height of waves to launch off. Experts should also be able to raise the sail to windward, letting it lift them onto the board.
A wind parallel to the shore can be relatively safe once you can tack/gybe comfortably and returning to shore is safe and easy.

God dammit, I was just in Ames this weekend should have waited.
Innnnnteresting. This might be a good one.

Also he will be on team YMCA with hogue and bluford
Of course, Wednesday night is a night I have to miss. Darn it.
Hope he gets a good reception. Royce has been a mess in the NBA, but he was great the two years he was in Ames. I'll always have a soft spot for him.
Hmm, might have to go. Will he be on a team with any current ISU players?

Team YMCA with Hogue and Bluford. They will be playing against Bubu and Gibson. It would have been interesting if YMCA played a team with some Cyclone newcomers to see them play against White.

Who the hell knows? But I am not sure why Iowa State fans are so angry about this....unless you are a Rockets fan, you shouldn't really care too much.
I don't think it has made Hoiberg look too bad, it's just showed that he can handle tough players.
Love Royce's time at Iowa State, just shake my head at his time post Iowa State. But I separate the two and will love him forever.

Yeah, the only thing that bothers me is that I was SO SURE he would be this great success story in the NBA, but for whatever reason he hasn't been. That doesn't change, though, what he did when he was here.
Hopefully they get Brackins for the other team.
Was hoping to see him and Georges have a little battle. Oh well. I'll definitely still be in attendance.

Description: Walking is one of the easiest forms of exercise to engage in. When done at a high intensity for prolonged period of time, walking can be an excellent activity for achieving weight loss.
Pros: Walking is a low impact activity making the risk of injury minimal. It can be done almost anywhere and requires no equipment but a good pair of shoes.
Cons: It is a good cardiovascular exercise but does not build up any strength. If not done at a high intensity for a prolonged period of time, walking may not produce a training effect.
Cost: The price of a good pair of walking shoes.

For those wondering how my last bake off came to be cancelled...
I'm sad to say I still haven't been able to complete the repair but I'm hoping it won't be much longer.
As the Wadia and krells are still in fighting form I'm wondering if anyone would be interested in a speaker bake off. Just a thought but it might be fun.
I know some of you really wanted to hear the Apogee's and I promise the offer will come as soon as I can.

This food-friendly wine ranges from super sweet to quite dry. Acidity, minerality, and aromas of tropical fruit are almost always present.
Dry: Characterized by bracing acidity and stark minerality. Tropical fruit on the nose, stunningly balanced flavor overall.
Pair with: This versatile wine works equally well with a fresh chevre (bringing out acidity) as it does a stinky Alsatian Munster (playing up the sweet/salty contrast).
Sweet: The other end of the spectrum offers a cloyingly sweet, syrupy wine. Aromas of ripe peaches and tropical fruit dominate, along with floral, perfumed accents.
Pair with: With something this strong it's best to contrast the sweetness with something funky or salty: A pungent washed rind like Grayson or a punchy blue like Bleu du Bocage.

Shon Breaks Through for First Ivy Golf Title, Women Finish Close Second
The Ivy Player of the Year outdueled the Ivy Rookie of the Year in a one-hole playoff for the Ivy League individual championship Sunday at Trump National in Bedminster, N.J.
Both Kelly Shon of Princeton and Christine Lin of Harvard were 2-over through 54 holes as the Ivy League Championship wrapped Sunday, and Shon finished a shot better than Lin on the first playoff hole to break through and claim her first Ivy individual title. Shon tied for fifth as a freshman in 2011 and seventh as a sophomore a year ago.
Sunday, Shon was 1-over, making bogey on the first and third holes before making up one shot on the sixth hole. She moved back to even par on the day at the 15th hole, but both Lin and Shon bogeyed 18 as the playoff became necessary.
Shon became the second Tiger to win Ivy Player of the Year honors, an award that came about in 2009 when Susannah Aboff '09 won the award as the last Tiger to win the Ivy individual title. Lin won Ivy Rookie of the Year honors. Shon's individual title was the ninth for a Princeton player since the Ivy League Championship began in women's golf in 1997, and Shon will be able to try and defend her title next year in hopes of becoming the first Ivy Leaguer since Aboff in 2008 and 2009 to win back-to-back individual league titles.
Though the Ivy individual title doesn't bring with it an automatic bid to the NCAA Regional, Shon gained an individual at-large berth in each of her first two years. She won't have to wait long to see if she can go 3 for 3 in NCAA berths, as the NCAA will announce the field Monday at 9 p.m. on NCAA.com.
It was just about as close for the Tigers as a team Sunday, but there the Crimson came out on top. After more than 900 shots for each team, the margin was just one after 54 holes. Harvard finished at +45 for the team with Princeton at +46 and 20 shots between the Tigers and third-place Yale.
Still, the Tigers had the best round of any team Sunday, but the four-shot deficit Princeton had entering the day was one shot too much. Princeton was +13 on Sunday as a team, better than Harvard's +16.
Shon was named first-team All-Ivy League, while Anna Jang won second-team All-Ivy League honors.
Princeton's complete results are below, and results for all teams are available via Golfstat here.
2. Princeton 307-302-301--910 (+46)
1. Kelly Shon 73-72-73--218 (+2)

source code
Please note: all packages require Mac OS X version 10.2 or newer.
Package Description
Release Date: January 28, 2003
The current ImageWriter driver supports printing via AppleTalk to an AppleTalk-enabled ImageWriter II or ImageWriter LQ, and printing via a supported serial port to all three models of Apple ImageWriter. Keyspan USB-to-serial adapters offer fully supported serial ports. There may be other brands of USB-to-serial adapters that also work. This driver does not support color printing. 3 supported printers
The ImageWriter package includes the CUPS serial backend for Mac OS X, the cups-o-matic CUPS filter, and foomatic PPD files to support 3 printers.
Installation Notes
- Verify now that your USB-to-serial adapter is connected. If necessary, plug it in now before installing the software.
- Make sure that you have installed the drivers for your serial port adapter.
- Make sure that your printer is connected and turned on before installing the software.
Printer Set Up Instructions
In general, deleting an existing printer queue is much easier than creating a new, correctly configured queue. In that regard, this installer will attempt to automatically create printer queues for all of the available serial ports that it discovers (which is why you should plug in any USB-to-serial adapters before continuing). If your Mac has any compatible serial ports you may end up with several unnecessary queues. To remove any unnecessary queue from the printer list simply select the queue within the printer list window in Printer Setup Utility (Print Center in Jaguar) and delete it.
If you ever delete an automatically created queue, and then later wish that you hadn't, simply run the installer again to recreate it (be sure to first connect any required USB-to-serial hardware). It is safe to run the installer as many times as you wish, although you should not run it while you have jobs printing. Running the installer multiple times will not install multiple copies of any files.
If you need to create a new serial printing queue with special settings you may find the CUPS web admin to be the easiest method of setup.
If your ImageWriter II or ImageWriter LQ supports AppleTalk (via the optional AppleTalk accessory card) you can print over a network. To print via AppleTalk from Mac OS X you will need to use some type of LocalTalk converter, such as a hardware Ethernet-to-LocalTalk bridge, or an old ethernet-equipped Power Mac running the Apple LocalTalk bridge software.
Regardless of your LocalTalk conversion method, this installer will create a printer queue for each AppleTalk-enabled ImageWriter that is visible on the network during installation. As with the serial printer queues, if you do not need any of the automatically created queues, simply delete them from Printer Setup Utility (Print Center in Jaguar).
The ImageWriter installer for Mac OS X ncludes support for 3 printers.
