ESPN analyst Jon Gruden offered up his thoughts on the New Orleans Saints during a Wednesday conference call for ESPN's Monday Night Football broadcast crew.
When asked about his thoughts on the job his friend and Saints coach Sean Payton has done with his team's offense, Gruden didn't hold back the praise calling the Saints a "well lubricated machine" and a "factory."
"I still think the New Orleans Saints are the team to beat in the NFC this year," Jon Gruden said. "I really like what they've done in the offseason and I think [Drew] Brees takes care of the ball and they take care of that turnover margin, I think they're on their way back to the NFC championship."
In reference to Payton's play-calling abilities, Gruden said Payton is among a handful of guys that are outstanding.
"I think Sean has done a tremendous job working with Mickey Loomis. I think that's the real strength behind the scene is his working relationship with Mickey Loomis. Their ability to develop players, undrafted guys (Pierre Thomas, Lance Moore), late round draft choices like [Marques] Coleston, getting free agents (Drew Brees, Jeremy Shockey, [Darren] Sharper) and making trades (Jonathan Vilma) you name it. They made a lot of tremendous moves and made them work," Jon Gruden said.
The early favorite for the NFC among the media chatter has, of course, been Michael Vick and his "dream team" with the Philadelphia Eagles. Defending Super Bowl champions Green Bay can't be excluded from the conversation, of course. But no one is really talking about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They've got a young, talented team and a real shot at winning the NFC South.
That being said, it's entirely possible to see the New Orleans Saints back in the NFC championship game and – depending on how the team performs this season – back in the Super Bowl.
What's your take?

Heart Diagnosis
An accurate diagnosis is the first step in treating any sort of heart abnormality or disease. Please speak with your Banner Churchill Community Hospital heart specialist to determine what specific testing you need.
During an echocardiogram, also called an echo, a technician uses a painless technique to send sound waves into the patient's chest. This produces a moving picture of the heart and heart valves.
Electrocardiography (ECG)
Also called EKG, an electrocardiogram measures the electrical activity in a heartbeat. Patients can be hooked to electrodes or wear a heart monitor (a small box that weighs less than one pound). The monitoring devices send signals to a technician that observes the heart rate and rhythm.
Treadmill Stress Testing
Stress/exercise testing involves studying the heart while under maximum cardiac stress. It allows a technician to measure the heart's efficiency when subjected to predetermined exercise or cardiac medications. Patients may walk on a treadmill or lie still under a camera depending on how the physician wants to see their heart function.

Former Hampstead fire chief charged with shooting wife, stealing truck
Published: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 4:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 18, 2013 at 4:34 p.m.
A former chief of the Hampstead Volunteer Fire Department is accused of shooting his wife Sunday before stealing his neighbor's truck and wrecking it on U.S. 17, according to the Surf City Police Department.
James Daniel Garvey is being charged with larceny of a motor vehicle, assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury, possession of a firearm by a felon and assault on a female, according to Ron Shanahan, assistant chief of the Surf City Police Department.
Garvey was chief of the fire department about a decade ago.
About 5 p.m. Sunday, police were dispatched to a Teresa Drive home for a domestic dispute. Before they arrived, though, they received a call saying that Garvey had been involved in a wreck on U.S. 17.
Police responded to the scene of the wreck, just north of Man Hollow Church Road, and took Garvey into custody.
Garvey had hit a mailbox, run into a ditch and snapped an axle off the truck before coming to a stop.
After taking him into custody, police headed to the Teresa Drive home, where they found Dianne Garvey on a neighbor's porch with a gun wound to her upper thigh.
Garvey is no stranger to the law, with a record including two convictions for embezzlement in 2004 and one for drug possession in 2006.

Finding a file is a lot like looking for a pair of socks when you get dressed in the morning. You can't really start working until you locate those socks, and it's something you need every single day. Windows can't help you find your socks any faster, but it can definitely lend you a hand when it comes to finding your files. Here are some ways to find and organize your files, no matter where they might be stored.
There are so many ways to find files on your computer that you might not know where to start. Most of the time, you will probably start by using the search tools that are available within any folder. For example, here are the search tools that are available in the Documents folder:
The method you use depends upon what you're searching for, and where you're searching for it. The following table describes the different search methods and when they're useful:
The Search box
If you're looking for a file or folder located in a common folder (such as Documents or Pictures), you can often find it fastest by using the Search box at the top of the folder window. For more information, see Use the Search box
later in this article.
If you're looking for a program, a website in your browser history, or a file that you've stored anywhere in your personal folder, you can use the Search box at the bottom of the Start menu. For more information, see Find a file or folder.
File list headings
If you're looking for several related files, such as all the files from a particular month, or all the documents that you have written, you can use the headings above the file list to filter, stack, or group your files. Organizing your files in one of these ways makes them easier to locate and select. For more information, see Use file list headings
later in this article.
Search folder
When you need to build a search with multiple filters, or when you're looking for files from several folders at once, create your search in the Search folder. When you are done, you can save the search criteria, and use it in the future to find the same set of files again with a single click. For more information, see Create an advanced search in the Search folder later in this article.
The Search box is located at the top of every folder. It filters the current view based on text that you type. The Search box finds files based on text in the file name, text within the file, tags, and other common file properties that are attached to the file. In addition, it searches the current folder as well as all subfolders.
For example, if you created a trip report called "Las Vegas Seminar," as soon as you type Las into the Search box, most files in the folder would disappear from the list, but the trip report, and any other files with the word Las in them, would immediately be displayed.
The following table lists the common properties that you can use in the Search box:
File name
The name you have given the file.
Type part or all of the file name you are looking for. For example, to find a file called November invoice.txt, you can type Nov or inv.
Kind of file
A broad description of the content. Most of your files fall into one of these kinds: Document, Picture, or Music.
Type the kind of file you're looking for. For example, to find all of your text, spreadsheet, and presentation files, type Document.
Type of file
A more specific indication of the file's content. The last three letters of the file name, called the file name extension, identify the file type. Common types include DOC (Microsoft Word document), XLS (Microsoft Excel spreadsheet), JPG (JPEG image), and MP3 (a standard digital audio format).
Type the file name extension. If you want to find only MP3 files, type MP3. For more accurate results, type *.mp3.
Words or phrases you add to your files to describe them.
Type any tag to see a list of files to which that tag has been applied.
The name of the person who created the file.
Type the name of an author to see a list of files by that person.
Windows will usually search for whatever you type in the Search box by looking in the file name, file contents, and file properties of all the files in the current view. Type "Summer," for example, and it will find files named "sunset in summer.jpg," files tagged with "summer," and files written by anyone named Summer. This broad approach to search usually helps you find your file quickly.
If you want to search more selectively, however, you can filter your search in the Search box by specifying which file property to search. To filter by file property, separate the name of the property and the search term with a colon, as these examples show:
Find only files that have the word sunset in the file name.
Find only files that are tagged with the word sunset.
Find only files that have been modified on that date. You can also type Modified:2006 to find files changed at any time during that year.
Which file properties can you use in this way? Anything you see in a folder. You can filter by any property that appears in the file list headings, for example. To see the complete list of properties that you can filter by, right-click the heading you want to see properties for, and then click More.
For more information about advanced searches, go to the Windows Desktop Search: Advanced Query Reference website.
Using Boolean filters is another way to perform a more precise search. Boolean filters let you combine search words using simple logic, as you can see in the following table.
tropical AND island
Find files that contain both words "tropical" and "island" (even if those words are not right next to each other).
tropical NOT island
Find files that contain the word "tropical," but not "island."
tropical OR island
Find files that contain either of the words "tropical" or "island."
"tropical island"
Find files that contain the exact phrase "tropical island."
(tropical island)
Find files that contain both words "tropical" and "island," in any order.
date: >01/05/06
Find files that are more than or later than a certain value, such as after 01/05/06.
size: < 4 MB
Find files that are less than or earlier than a certain value, such as less than 4 MB. You can also specify other sizes, such as KB and GB.
When you type Boolean filters like AND or OR, you need to use all capital letters.
You can combine Boolean filters with other filters. The following table shows how you can get very different results using the same search words, but different Boolean filters. Also note how the use of parentheses can change the effect of a filter.
author: Charlie AND Herb
Find files that are authored by Charlie as well as any files that include Herb in the file name or in any file property.
author: (Charlie AND Herb)
Find only files that are authored by both names.
author: "Charlie Herb"
Finds only files that are authored by someone with exactly this name.
If you turn on natural language search, you can perform searches in a simpler way, without using colons and without the need to enter AND and OR in capital letters. For example, compare these two searches:
kind: music artist: (Beethoven OR Mozart)
music Beethoven or Mozart
kind: document author: (Charlie AND Herb)
documents Charlie and Herb
Open Folder Options by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Appearance and Personalization, and then clicking Folder Options.
Click the Search tab.
Select the Use natural language search check box.
Even with natural language search turned on, you can continue to use the Search box in exactly the same way. If you want to use Boolean filters or introduce filters with colons and parentheses, you can. In addition, you can use all the same properties to fine-tune your searches. The difference is that you can enter searches in a more casual way. Here are some examples:
email today
documents 2006
author Susan
pictures vacation
Some searches might give more results than you expect. For example, if you search for "email today" you will see all messages sent today as well as any messages with the word "today" in the contents.
By clicking the headings that appear above the file list in a folder, you can change how files are displayed. Viewing files in this way can help you find files that share something in common.
When you filter the contents of a folder by file properties (such as file name, date, author, or tag), only files with those properties are displayed. For example, if you want to see only files written by a particular author, filter by that person's name.
Open the folder that contains the files you want to filter.
Click the arrow to the right of the heading that you want to filter by.
Click the property that you want to filter by. If you want to filter by two or more properties, select the check box for each property that you want to filter by.
When you stack files, all of the files in the view are arranged into piles, called stacks. If you stack by Author, for example, you'll see one stack for each author. If you want to see only the files written by a particular author, open the desired stack.
Open the folder that contains the files you want to stack.
The files can also be located in subfolders inside this folder
Click the arrow to the right of the heading that you want to stack by.
Click Stack by to arrange the contents of the folder into stacks that correspond to the heading.
To see the files that are contained in an individual stack, double-click the stack.
Unlike a stack, which hides the files it contains behind an icon, a group displays a sequential list of all of the grouped files. When you group your files by Author, for example, you'll see several groups, each one displaying all the files written by a particular author.
Open the folder that contains the files you want to group.
Click the arrow to the right of the heading that you want to group by.
Click Group to arrange the contents of the folder into groups that correspond to the heading.
The is a good choice for searches whenever you:
Don't know where a file or folder is located, and want to look in many locations at once.
Want your search results to include files from several folders at once.
Want to create an advanced search that looks for files using several different criteria.
To customize your search, click the Advanced Search button in the Search folder.
Here, you can change any of the following:
Location. By default, the Search folder searches in a set of locations called Indexed Locations. This includes all of the folders in your personal folder (which includes Documents, Pictures, Music, Desktop, and other common locations), e‑mail, and offline files. You can add additional locations to Indexed Locations if you commonly store files in different locations. For more information, see Improve Windows searches using the index: frequently asked questions. Alternatively, you can choose to search a different set of locations, though any searches on files that have not been indexed will be slower.
Date. You can narrow the search to any time before or after the date you specify.
Size. You can look for files larger or smaller than the specified size.
Property. You can filter the search according to one or more file properties, such as file name, tags, and authors. The search will be limited to files that include all the properties you specify.
If you cannot find a file you are searching for, or if searching is slow or stops working, you can try running a troubleshooter to diagnose and fix common problems with search and indexing.

In the File Download dialog box, click Run, and then follow the steps in the wizard.

WordPress seems to be filtering Pastebin URLs.
When attempting to include pastebin links into either new or pre-existing posts, the following error is returned:
"Not Found"
It seems most — if not all — pastebin URLs kill my posts. If a pastebin URL is included in a new post, it is deleted altogether and even the draft is sent into the abyss. If a pastebin URL is included into a pre-existing post, new changes are deleted and the post reverts to the previous draft.
I contacted my hosting company and they claimed to have no idea how or why this is occurring. Their only suggestion was that it must be WordPress.
So this has me wondering; what is causing this? I can't think of any plug-ins that would be responsible, and beyond that, I can't think of much else without seeming paranoid.
Whatever the cause, I thought it strange enough to document.
If it is a restriction, it is supremely stupid.
If only a bug, I'd sure like to know more about it.

The feminist movement has created non-gender-specific terms, political correctness, sexual harassment lawsuits, hairline cracks in the glass ceiling, diversity, and equal opportunity — a mixed bag, certainly.
It has also created a subclass of women — an under-groundswell — who are fighting to retain their most important right — to be feminine.
We are women who:
• Do not need the Equal Rights Amendment to grant us equality with men. We are created the same as men — in the image of God, who is neither male nor female, therefore our inalienable rights — life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness — are already guaranteed to us by the Constitution, and we do not need Congress to validate our importance or existence.
• Do not want to be treated with the same respect one man affords another. Ah, I can hear the collective "What the (s) … !" Now hear me out. We want to be treated with more respect. We don't want to be subjected to "locker-room" talk. We want you to open doors for us. We want you to pull out our chair in a restaurant. We want you to take our arm or hold our hand in public — something we hope you are not doing with your guy pals. We want you to carry the heavy stuff, open stuck jar lids, and fix the car. This does not mean that we won't pay for dinner, or contribute to the family budget, or carry our weight in any endeavor — we will — or that we can't carry the heavy stuff, open stuck jar lids, or fix the car. Most of us can do that. But we would appreciate it greatly if a man would flex his brain or muscles and do that for us.
• Are emotional beings. We want the world in general to recognize that women listen, see, and act from the heart. Women are collectively and singularly unique that way. Some men have been gifted with the same ability, granted, but it is the woman who knows what her child's cry means, what her best friend's silence is saying, what her beloved's various touches signify. A woman may not understand the words another man or woman speaks, but she will watch the person's face, she will pay attention to the set of the shoulders, the placement of hands, the direction the eyes move, and will "read" the words in that manner. Do you remember trying to lie to your mother? How'd that work out for you? Yes, we have a sixth sense, that subtle perception of the unseen world. We do not do these things consciously, it is automatic—a sub-conscious act.
• Are warriors of particular renown. We are Queen Esther of the Old Testament, who saved her people; Joan of Arc, who led the French Army against the English Invasion of Orleans; Golda Meir, the "Iron Lady" of Israeli politics and Israel's fourth prime minister; Margaret Thatcher, the "Iron Lady" of British politics, and the only woman to be elected prime minister of that empire; Catherine of Siena and Mother Theresa, who dedicated their lives to helping the poor and needy; Florence Nightingale, the mother of modern nursing; Rosa Parks, who refused to be relegated to the back of the bus; Frances Perkins, the first woman member of a presidential cabinet (Franklin Roosevelt's), Shirley Chisholm, the first African-American congresswoman; Mary Katherine Goddard, the editor of the Maryland Journal and Baltimore Advertiser, the first newspapers that bravely and defiantly published the Declaration of Independence; Louise Blanchard Bethune, the first woman inducted into the American Institute of Architects; Wilma Rudolph, the greatest woman sprinter in history; Sally Ride, the first American woman in space; Marie Curie, the first woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics and Chemistry; Maria Montessori, who did phenomenal and groundbreaking work with mentally disabled children and adults; Sandra Day O'Connor, justice of the Supreme Court.
We are every woman who works two jobs to support her family, sacrifices her own wants and needs and stays home to raise her children, protests war, supports the troops, ties a shoe, sews a flag, bakes a cake, drafts a proposal, stands proudly at attention, and kneels in prayer.

Poverty and the Environment
19 Jun 2012 - 19 Jun 2012Since global population could reach 10 billion by 2100, people��s needs (food, basic services, etc.) and requirements could also rise, forcing societies to adapt and devise new development and growth models. At the same time, the world is facing several other challenges: limited and vulnerable natural resources, loss of biodiversity, finite land that is sought for competing uses, need for new energy sources, demographic pressures - particularly in urban areas - and climate change. All those have to be addressed simultaneously if we want to find solutions that will make the future of societies sustainable.
Teatro Tom Jobim - Jardim Botanico de Rio de Janeiro
Teatro Tom Jobim - Jardim Botanico de Rio de Janeiro
The economic fragility often goes hand in hand with environmental vulnerability and vice versa. Particularly in urban areas, access to basic services for the poor is seriously lacking. Combined with the natural capital��s fragility, poverty reduction programs must integrate environmental and social dimensions to go beyond purely economic and short term improvements. Promoting a more inclusive development is also needed on the condition that poor communities are recognized as full partners who have the right to take part in the definition of their future. For example, in the case of access to energy, not only low-carbon solutions should be deployed but it should be done according to local contexts to avoid inappropriate one-size-fits-all strategy. In this context, a number of priority objectives stand out.
They are:
?p To make the poor less vulnerable to climate-related risks;
?p To improve the livelihoods of the poor through the preservation of biodiversity, the sustainable development of natural assets and an improved access to energy;
?p To contribute to improving the quality of life of the poorest, and their access to basic services, particularly in cities;
?p To promote innovations in business models, in modes of funding, and in forms of cooperation between key parties.

Jury indicts woman for attempted murder charge
Published: Monday, October 8, 2012 at 2:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 8, 2012 at 2:26 p.m.
A woman charged earlier this year with using a kitchen knife in a cutting is now facing a charge of attempted murder, according to court records.
A Davidson County grand jury last week returned a true bill of indictment on Carla Mechelle Fuller, 42, of 113 Hankins Drive, for felony attempted first-degree murder. She was initially charged in June with felony assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury.
The charges stemmed from a June 16 incident, according to court records.
That's when the Lexington Police Department responded to an incident at a home on Link Circle. The victim, whom court records identified as Princess Harris, received cuts and injuries to her arms but refused transportation to the hospital.
Fuller was in the Davidson County Detention Center on Monday under a $100,000 secured bond. Her next court date is Nov. 12 in Davidson County Superior Court.

Magnesium supports parallel jobs via the
MPICH message passing interface
(version 1.2.6).
LAM/MPI might be coming. A coexistence with MPICH is not
without problems; SGE and LAM/MPI are not the best of friends.
SGE, the queueing system, is not optimal for managing parallel jobs, so
there are a few things that you must use in your job script when
running parallel jobs.
Many parallel program packages need a directory that is visible to all
processes on the nodes used. If this is the case, the only alternative is
to run at least partly on /home. But even if some files need to be
accessible to all processes, others, like two electron integral files
and such, might not be. Find out the situation for your program.
In any case, it is forbidden to store 2e-integrals on /home!
(The disk quota effectively takes care of this anyway, but it is still
forbidden.) Minimize other disk access to /home as well! For example,
don't dump MO files after every SCF iteration, etc.
Example parallel job script:
The queues have different limits. Choose the one that suits your
The test.q can be used for example to test if a job
really would start with the job script you've meticulously prepared.
It's also useful for diagnosis of programs that seem to crash right
after start.
The jobs in test.q run on the front end, so you don't necessarily have to
copy your files to a /wrk-dir. And if you do, you don't have to log onto
a node to check the files produced.
You can choose to run in either chem-smallmem.q or
chem-largemem.q by selecting any chem queue with a wildcard,
like chem*, i.e.:
To see for example how many free slots the queues have available:
If you need to log on, use ssh mgXX where XX identifies
the node and runs from 01–15. For example
NOTE! There is no need to log on to a node for following
job output and such. For this, there exists a special command,
(for distributed shell, or dancer's shell). dsh runs the
command you specify on a host you specify. You only need to tell
dsh which node (machine) you want to run on with the
-m parameter. An example:
You could of course do the same thing directly with ssh, if you prefer:
The advantage of dsh is that you can specify more than one machine
to perform an action on. With the -c switch, your command is
executed simultaneously on all specified machines. More info via man dsh.
There is a special parameter for executing a command on all nodes; -a.
For example, if you would like to see the main processes on all nodes, you
could execute one of these:
To quickly clean up (delete) all your files from all /wrk disks (note that
the front end is not included with the -a switch):
For a list of all nodes as well as some info about them, you can

Rated 5 out of 5 by June My dogs love this bed! My two dogs already have one for the living room and we wanted to get one for our bedroom and bought this one. They love love it! This is the first dog bed that they have not ruined. August 5, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Shopper310 Nice, soft fur. I am actually using this pet bed pillow for myself in my living room chair. The fur is good quality and very soft with short light grey fur on one side and a nice darker grey mix with longer fur on the other side. It's not that cheap looking fuzzy faux fur. Excellent value for the price I paid. The only thing I would want to change is that it could use a little more stuffing to keep it's shape. A heavy dog might flatten it out too much. April 16, 2013

ZF-6805: Zend_View_Helper_PaginationControl should render with no partial set
The params needed for this would be the HTML for the first/last, prev/next combo, the name of the URL param (which could default to "page") for the url() view helper and the route name (defaulting to... well, "default"). Maybe, if feeling really generous, one could supply an "attribs" param which would get embeded to
ul> itself (defaulting to array("class" => "paginator"); I reworked the paginationControl helper by adding __toString() and render() as paginationControl() returns $this.
This would enable cuszomizing the paginator rendering per instance, like:
echo $this->paginationControl()->setPaginator($this->paginator)->setParamName('p')->setParamRoute('articles');
Postponing this issue. In the early prototypes of Zend_Paginator this features was available, but after giving the feature a lot of thought we opted to include good examples in the manual instead. If something like this is attempted it should probably be done in a separate view helper to not clutter the current one too much.
A separate helper is fine, but then you have an issue of "Which is the proper one?" Why was the rendering without partials droped?
The examples in the documentation exist for this very reason, and I think the documentation is pretty clear in this respect. I think a separate view helper would be more confusing.
I don't get the reasoning behind your comment. The component should be able to render itself without requiring an additional view file, much like for example Zend_Form or Zend_Navigation. I don't understand why you'd go for breaking this pattern here and opt for "it all in the doc" stance.
I kinda agree here, (sorry Norm2782). I don't see the problem in providing a few standard partials or view helpers with ZF (those of the documentation maybe? :D).
Dalibor: To be fair, Zend_Navigation was only recently released, so prior to the inclusion of Zend_Paginator in 1.6 only one component was released that did this. One component is not really a pattern, and therefore Zend_Paginator is not really "breaking" anything. :-)
Dolf: I'd more than likely be the one to implement this issue; that's why I assigned it to myself.
After considering a simpler way of solving this (simply including a default view partial under Zend/View/Helper/PaginatorControl/default.phtml) I will re-mark this as postponed until I get some time to do it. However, a patch (with unit tests) will help speed up the time to completion if one of you would like to submit one. It would be appreciated.
Well, the "pattern" might have been an overstatement, but atleast you've changed the WONTFIX attitude so it kinda worked. :) Anyway, as you're proposing adding the first view partial (AFAIK), maybe the core devs should discuss the best place for it (naming scheme, etc.). I could submit a patch for this, it'd get my feet wet.
That's a good point. I'll raise the issue on the mailing list.

Rated 5 out of 5 by qkat Just what I had wanted. I have been looking for this 3 drawer dresser for several years. I initially bought the headboard, 2 end tables and the tall dresser in 2008. I decided I wanted the 3 drawer dresser and it was no longer sold in stores. I was very disappointed but kept looking at the World Market site to see if it could be ordered. In September, I checked the site, read the reviews and saw a post that had the barcode reference. I went in to a local store and the manager said that their were 300 available but it had to be ordered on line. I was so excited. I ordered and received the 3 drawer dresser in less than 5 days. Just what I had wanted. Matches the rest of my set perfectly. October 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by tracy24 has been an excellent piece I bought this originally as a "temporary" piece for a temporary relocation. The dresser is sturdy, quite lovely, and fits in with my decor. I decided to keep this one permanently and get rid of the piece that I had previously. The drawers are deep and hold quite a bit of clothing. And it has moved twice and remains sturdy and well built. It was very easy to assemble and continues to look good. November 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by J&J Looks great It was easy to set up. Its very sturdy and looks great in our mid size bedroom. I just wish that the drawers had wheels to open more smoothly, but there is no problem to open them at all. Drawers are deep enough. November 5, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by jules Great Purchase This dresser is beautiful and very durable. I had a relatively easy assemble and nothing was damaged....It was packaged very well. The drawers are good sized. I am very impressed with the quality of wood and how beautiful this dresser is! October 26, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brandon's mom Solid with great character Bought this assembled for our toddlers room, it's perfect because he can't get into the drawers and pull stuff out. (this is the problem we had with drawers w/ wheels) Had trouble getting the drawers back in after moving it upstairs, just had to angle it. Can't wait to buy the rest of the set. April 18, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by erstewart89[@] great piece! This is dresser a beautiul dark color. The drawer don't slide as easily as the malay pieces, but its certainly not a problem. A little brain teaser to put together, but not bad. And its just so the piece is extra sturdy, and very well built. Also is wider looking then it shows online, which we love. LOTS of space. My husband and I share this for our things. March 28, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by jess of jam very nice At first before putting this drawer set together, it seemed a little cheap, but once assembled, it looks beautiful! it is very sturdy and a great piece of furniture. the dark espresso color somewhat scratches easily though.. December 30, 2010
Rated 5 out of 5 by Victoria LOVE this dresser We've had two of these dressers for almost a year and are in love. The drawers are HUGE and easy to slide. We've pushed two together to make one super dresser, which stores more than our old (massively heavy) dresser did. They are nice and sturdy, but still light enough for one person to slide around. We have a small place, but it gives us a big bang for our buck. It took us about 4 hrs to assemble 2 dressers, 2 nightstands and the 6-drawer chest. Couldn't be happier! August 25, 2010

Gardening Articles: Flowers :: Annuals
Bountiful Basil (page 2 of 3)
by Deborah Wechsler
Harvest and Storage
Tip growth, harvested just before the plant flowers, is the most flavorful.
In my own garden, I tend to follow a combination method: pinching off the top clusters for sale or home use, and then when the flowers are starting to get ahead of me, cutting the plants way back for a pesto- or vinegar-making session. I repeat this progression several times during the season.
Studies done at Michigan State University by horticulturist Diana Dostol have shown that basil actually keeps longest if it is picked as late in the day as possible. Dostol also worked on post-harvest storage. "If you simply put basil in a perforated plastic bag at room temperature," she says, "it will keep for 10 to 14 days." The optimum storage temperature is 60?F. "At refrigerator temperature, which is about 41?F," says Dostol, "basil only keeps two to three days."
I like to keep a few stems in a jar of water on the kitchen counter. They last a long time, they are right there when I need a few leaves, and they may conveniently root some plants for winter. "If you store basil stems in water," advises Dostol, "treat them like cut flowers, changing the water frequently. You can also add something like lemon juice to the water to bring down the pH and retard bacterial growth."
Basil's bountiful production can be both a delight and challenge. In my family, when the lettuce is all gone, basil's not just an herb, it becomes our main leafy green. A midsummer salad consists of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and a huge handful of basil. Every year, I put bags or yogurt cups of pesto in the freezer and chip off chunks as needed for the ultimate winter convenience meal. I also make basil vinegar and dry the leaves for cool-weather cooking. Then basil's evocative summertime smell fills my house, and I can practically feel the su on my back, hear the leaves rustling and taste the ripe tomatoes warm in the garden.

ZF-5847: "max" option of Zend_Form StringLength validator considered as "min" option when "min" option is omitted
When you create a form element from .ini file, and add a StringLength validator to your element with a .max option but without .min option, then .max is wrongly interpreted as .min.
user_details.elements.firstname.options.validators.strlen.validator = "StringLength"
user_details.elements.firstname.options.validators.strlen.options.max = "30"
Let's say I input "foo" as firstname Actual result:{quote} - form does not validate - following error message is displayed: 'foo' is less than 30 characters long {quote} Expected result:{quote} - form should validate - no error should be displayed {quote} NOTE: this bug may impact other validators as well. Problem comes from Zend_Form_Element::_loadValidator() ``` $validator['options'] is passed to constructor without taking into consideration options name<
Temporary workaround: - always specify a min length as well (set it to 0)
Already fixed with r18058 on 10.Sept

The web is a great way to get information and communicate with others. To use the web, you need to understand how to use a web browser. This demo shows you around the Internet Explorer web browser, including the basics of navigating to a website, searching the web, saving favorite webpages, and using tabbed browsing.
The World Wide Web is part of the Internet, a network that links millions of computers around the world. The web contains a vast amount of information, which you can access from your computer using a web browser. Here are a few tips for using the Internet Explorer web browser to get around the web.
Like other Windows programs, you can start Internet Explorer from the Start menu. There are millions of websites across the web, and each one has a unique address, or URL.
You can visit a site by typing its address here in the Address bar. Then you click this button. Notice how the website displays in the browser?
This is the website's main page—or home page—but most sites are made up of many pages. Pages are connected to each other with links, which can be text or images.
See how the pointer changes to a hand over this word? That means it's a link to another webpage. If you click it, you'll go to that page.
To return to a page you've already looked at, you click the Back button. And to return to the page that you see when you start your web browser, you click the Home button.
If you're looking for information but don't know where to start, you can search the web. You type a few words or a phrase in the Search box about a topic that interests you. Be as specific as you can. Then, click here.
A list of search results appears. Note that you can change which search engine Internet Explorer uses to provide results. When you find a search result that seems relevant, click the link to go to the webpage shown in the result.
When you discover a webpage that you'd like to return to regularly, you can save it as a Favorite so you don't have to remember its address. You click this button, and then click Add to Favorites. After you click Add, it's in your Favorites list. To get to the Favorites list, you click this button. Here's the page we just added.
To open and quickly move between several webpages at once, you can use tabbed browsing. You click here to add a new tab. Type the address for the page you want, and then you can switch between your webpages just by clicking the tabs.
A web browser is the only tool you need to explore the web and get quick access to your favorite sites.

Throughout my years as a Divorce Financial Strategist, I've learned that my clients tend to fall into three separate groups when we discuss their attitudes towards their marital residence. The first group sees the house as not just a piece of real estate, but as a home filled with family history and sentimental value. The second group feels quite differently. They consider the house the center of painful memories and/or the root of financial trouble. The last group adopts a more matter-of-fact approach, seeing the marital residence as neither overwhelmingly positive nor negative. To them, the house is an asset –like many others --to be negotiated in the divorce process.
Regardless of how you view it, rest assured of one thing: Your marital residence is likely to figure prominently in your divorce proceedings. Often, it's the biggest asset a couple owns together, and usually, it comes " fully furnished" with all sorts of emotional trappings, as well. Part of our job at Bedrock Divorce Advisors is to complete the financial analyses needed to help a woman understand if she can afford to own the house, and if so, for how long. For example, if you're going through a divorce and think you would like to keep your martial residence, consider the following questions:
Why are you interested in keeping the house? There are many practical and fair reasons to want to keep the house. Perhaps you're raising your children in this house, and it's near both school and work. Or, it could be a family home passed down from generation to generation. Just be sure that your list of reasons to keep the house isn't dominated by purely emotional ones. Remember: In order to reach a divorce settlement agreement that puts you on solid financial footing, you'll need to Think Financially, Not Emotionally®. Also, please keep this in mind: When children are involved, the parent who is awarded custody often stands the best chance of being awarded the house, as well. Most courts want to minimize disruptions to children and family routines, if at all possible.
Can you afford to keep the house? Whatever your income level, this is a critically important question. House-related expenses can significantly impact your budget once you are single, so make sure you carefully consider all the costs associated with home ownership: mortgage payments, real estate taxes, utility bills, maintenance, repairs, landscaping and upkeep, etc. Even affluent women who own marital residences worth millions of dollars, mortgage-free, will have to sell their houses at some point. Why? Because it's just not sensible for them to keep so much cash tied up in these relatively illiquid investments (which, in this economy, may not increase in value for many years).
Have you fully considered the true worth of the house vs. other assets? Not all assets that are valued the same are actually worth the same. Here's an example to illustrate my point: Let's say you're trying to decide whether to keep a $600,000 bank account or a $600,000 house that's completely paid off. You really love the house, and you're leaning in that direction. Great idea? Maybe. But, you need to carefully assess how the house will impact your bottom line –both now and years down the road. Even mortgage-free home ownership involves expenses, such as real estate taxes that need to be paid every year, upkeep and maintenance, fuel costs, etc. In addition, when you eventually sell your home you may be hit with a big capital gains tax bill. Let's assume you bought the home for $200,000, and it's now worth $600,000. Your capital gain is $400,000. Subtract your $250,000 capital gains exclusion as a single person, and you'll have to pay capital gains tax on $150,000. At the current capital gains tax rate of 15 percent, that amounts to a $22,500 tax bill! (And chances are pretty good that those tax rates will increase in the near future.)
Once you complete this type of analysis, the cash may look like a much better option than the house.
What other living options are available to you? It's only natural to feel a sentimental attachment to the place where you live. But don't become so entrenched that you fail to recognize viable alternatives. Perhaps it's a good idea to down-size. Or maybe, when it comes right down to it, you would actually prefer a different neighborhood? Could a new home give you that feeling of a clean slate? Odds are, even if you weren't divorcing, you would eventually move from your current residence. Though it may not seem like it right now, there are lots of different places you can call "home."
Could the proceeds of selling your house create new opportunities and allowances? Selling or downsizing could open new doors for you and your family. These new proceeds could be turned into an investment, a retirement fund, reserves for your children's future education, or simply extra financial security to depend on if another curveball comes your way. In the end, knowing these new options are now true possibilities may be more valuable than the house, despite attached sentimental value.
Maintaining emotional distance when it comes to negotiating your marital house won't necessarily be easy. But if you can successfully so do, you'll put yourself in a better position to strategically manage your assets and develop a comprehensive plan for financial stability and security in the future.

Is Bigger Better? Size comparison of Pelikan M200, Lamy Safari, Sailor Sapporo and also a full sized 1911
It was a a beautiful day today. Perfect for taking a few snaps for the blog.
I was picking through my pens, trying to decide what to shoot, and it hit me that I never really did any comparison shots between my different pens. I know that when I was looking to buy some of these, I was struggling to understand their true sizes. (Measurements mean nothing to me. I may as well be reading Greek.)
Starting off with a Sailor Sapporo, and a Pelikan M200. Capped, they are very close in size.
Uncapped, the Sapporo gets tiny. I don't usually write without the cap posted, so the Sapporo doesn't bother me. I'd like to add that the Sapporo is a C/C (cartridge/converter) pen, and the M200 a piston filler. Piston fillers hold way more ink. My Sapporo is a medium nib and I'm always re-filling that converter.
Sapporo and M200 posted. They are now once again, closer in size. The M200 is a very light pen, and the Sapporo while not heavy by any stretch of the imagination, feels more significant in my hand. Nibs are very different. M200 is soft and slightly flexy, the Sapporo an "H" for hard, and it writes as such. I like them both, but the M200 is the exception to the rule for me. I tend to prefer a firmer nib.
Sailor Sapporo, Pelikan M200 and a full-size Sailor 1911 uncapped. The 1911 is also a C/C filler and uses the same converter that the Sapporo does. It also has an "H" (hard) nib.
Posted, the 1911 jumps ahead in length.
As flat as I could get them and still hold the camera steady.
I noticed something interesting. While wider, the full sized Sailor 1911 uncapped is only a smidge longer than an M200. Never would have thought that.
Let's throw a Lamy Safari (in Steelers colors) into the mix to show what a giant it is. I have 4 of them. I love them. They are light as can be, durable, and inexpensive. (As far as fountain pens go.) Their nibs are very firm. (I love that for drawing)
The whole gang, posted and hovering over a red Moleskine. The M200 and 1911 stay similar in length, the Sapporo appears to shrink and the Safari to grow....
I am very fond of each of these pens, and I use all but the Sapporo fairly regularly- each as the mood strikes me. (My Sapporo is a wet medium nib that's a tad on the wide side for me. I wish it was a fine...)
If you are curious about their price range, Swisher Pens sells the Safari for $24, (add $5 for a converter) the M200 for $79, The Sapporo for $142, (converter included) and the 1911 for $232. (converter included)
I'd like to add that I purchased my two Sailors in used, but like new condition at significantly reduced prices, in the Marketplace Section on the Fountain Pen Network. It's a great place to buy, sell & trade pens. I just bought a vintage Shaeffer the other day... But that's for another day.

Bigger isn't always better, but I prefer my Pelikan M600 to my 200. I also have an M1000 but find I ink it and use it rarely.
Good comparison descriptions and very nice photos!

Great stuff. I always thought the Safari was a small pen, at least until this post. I know you don't have a Lamy 2000 anymore but can you remember how it compared in size?

If only the Sailors would make them piston fill like the Pelikans, and interchangable nibs...hmmm, I guess I like the Pelikan design, but the Sailor nibs.

Bigger is not always better it depends on the man who use it.

I've just measured the Safari against the 2000 and the Safari is 5/32 of an inch longer.
But.. ZOMG You've got a vintage Sheaffer? I LOVE my vintage sheaffers!!! I have a couple sentinels, a lady, a stylist and an imperial.

One of the few hard-worker pens I have owned were Lamy Safari Pens. For someone who has big hands,or get writers cramps from writing long periods of time, it is most comfortable in feel and balance.
- February 9, 2009 at 12:34 AM
well... is it bigger better or what? you didn't seem to land a point or conclusion!

Anonymous - it's simply a post to show the relative difference between pen sizes and it's up to the reader to decide whether or not a larger pen will suit their needs, or if it's just too much for the hand.

Very nice pictures. I appreciated the shots of the pens posted. Frequently posted measurements of pens are left out of descriptions. I almost always post my pens, and had wondered about the Sapporo's size in relation to the M200/400 (my favorite length). I now see a Sapporo in the collection someday in the future.
- October 23, 2009 at 1:15 PM
- Biffybeans said...
The more I use my various pens, the more I ]think that the Sapporo is the pen that fits my hand the best - specifically when in comes to balance. I love that pen!
- October 23, 2009 at 1:18 PM
Hello! I am new to using fountain pens and interestingly this was the first site I looked at about pens.
I just got an M200 (per your excellent recommendation!) and I was curious if it leaves a mark on the body once it has been posted repeatedly. Thanks!
- January 12, 2010 at 1:41 PM
- Biffybeans said...
James - to easily answer your question, all of my pens have posting marks on them - though not as noticeable on the Lamy Safari and I haven't used my Studio enough to see if it leaves marks. I feel like in most cases, I want the pen posted because it helps to better balance the pen in my hand. My Parker 51 is one of the few I don't post because I think it's too top heavy when posted.

For the more information about natural sounds and night skies in the National Park Service, please visit http://www.nature.nps.gov/sound_night/.
Sounds We Protect
Natural and cultural sounds awaken the sense of awe that connects us to the splendor of national parks and have a powerful effect on our emotions, attitudes, and memories. The National Park Service regards these sounds as part of a web of natural and cultural resources that must be protected.
Natural Sounds
Natural sounds are vital to the natural functioning of park ecosystems. Section 4.9, Soundscape Management, of the 2006 Management Policies, requires that we restore and manage park acoustical environments and soundscapes (see the Science of Sound page for definitions). Studies suggest that the acoustical environment is important in a number of ways including:
- Intra-species communication
- Territory establishment, finding desirable habitat
- Courtship and mating
- Nurturing and protecting young
- Predation and predator avoidance
- Effective use of habitat
The visitor who experiences the reverberating thud of male bighorn sheep butting heads, the eerie bugle of a bull elk in "rut," and the slap of a beaver tail on the water's surface often cherishes these memories for a lifetime. They are potent reminders of the ancient rituals preserved in our natural spaces and serve as key examples of the richness of park acoustical environments.
Most national park visits, however, are dominated by the songs of birds, frogs, and insects going about their daily activities. Such sounds, while more common than a bugling elk, are a captivating and memorable part of a park experience. Standing in the midst of the deafening trill of spring peepers, for example, is a riveting reminder that wetlands are critical habitat for amphibians. While most amphibians are almost impossible to spot, their calls travel for miles.
Other natural sounds promote understanding of the role of natural sounds in the ecosystem. A rattlesnake, for example, will shake its tail to alert intruders to its presence. Killdeer use a distinct, high-pitched trill, while faking a broken limb, to distract predators from their ground nests. The song of the cactus wren characterizes the desert landscape. When building nests these wrens will call out with a rapid buzz at any threat to their progress. Such examples help convey the significance of preserving the integrity of the acoustical environment.
Bird songs, in general, are ideal tools for introducing young visitors to natural sounds. They are often beautiful, or even humorous, and can be heard almost anywhere. Because they can be likened to human phrases, people easily relate to them and even children can be encouraged to tune in. For example, the American goldfinch call is thought to sound like the words "potato chip!" Children easily relate to the call of the ovenbird, heard in deciduous woodlands in spring, which sounds like "teacher! teacher! teacher!"
Insects, like birds, have an endless repertoire of sounds. Hearing the piercing whine of cicadas brings to mind hot, lazy summer days for most park visitors. Many would not be surprised to learn that male cicadas produce the loudest sounds in the insect world (actually approaching the pain threshold of the human ear). But how many know that the loud noise repels birds? Entomologists believe that the sound hurts the predators' ears.
Cultural Sounds
Culturally-based sounds help reinforce a sense of pride in place, a connection to heritage and the awareness that humans, too, are integral to soundscapes. Many anthropogenic (man-made) sounds have embedded themselves in the American psyche and echo significant movements in the country's development. The chant "No taxation without representation!" needs no explanation to the American adult. The whistle of a train, the heavy rattle of a slave's chains and the crack of musket fire are all imbued with meaning about the American experience.
Many culturally-based sounds are tangible symbols of a park's relevance. The deafening roar of the fabric looms in the factories at Lowell National Historical Park, for example, conveys the loss of autonomy experienced by factory workers who left the farm. The resonant clang of an iron spike being driven into a rail at Golden Spike National Historic Site can depict a nation linked for the first time by the railroad, while the piercing screech of sirens at Oklahoma City National Memorial evoke the sense of a country torn apart by terror. The sounds of gunshots and human cries contrasted with the silence of an empty prairie at Bear Paw Battlefield are haunting reminders of the anguish of the Nez Perce as they ceased their struggle against the white man.
Music has an undisputed ability to transport people through time and space and recreate a mood. Additionally, many pivotal moments in U.S. history are defined by a musical style. An interpretive tour of the Vietnam War Memorial might be enhanced with a recording of conflict-driven songs from the 1960s. Recordings of Native American tribal music help set a jubilant or reverent atmosphere, and the lighthearted sounds of ragtime piano can conjure the robust spirit of the gold rush days.

A tribute to the farmers of the Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality Program
Behind every exceptional Nespresso coffee experience are the untold stories of the committed individuals who proudly produce the highest quality coffee that Nespresso Club Members enjoy around the world.
In a unique collaboration, Nespresso partnered with internationally renowned photojournalist and celebrated humanitarian Reza to portray the farmers who consistently deliver the highest quality coffee to create Nespresso Grands Crus.
Over the course of four months, Reza travelled through Nespresso countries of origin to explore the AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program at its core. Throughout his journey, he captured with his lens the passion of dedicated coffee producers in Colombia, Brazil, Guatemala, Ethiopia and India.
"I hope that this photographic testimony will allow each individual to see the faces of the human beings who contributed to the making of their daily cup of coffee," said Reza.
"Soul of Coffee" celebrates the 10 years of the Nespresso AAA Sustainable Quality™ Program, and a decade of commitment by Nespresso and the coffee farmers it works with in the sustainable production of highest quality coffee. "The beauty is the most important thing for me, I am looking inside the soul of the people," says REZA of his work with those at the heart of coffee production, adding that in capturing their portraits he would add to the global understanding of the role these outstanding individuals play in the quality of their coffee.
A hardcover book with Reza's photography from the Nespresso countries of origin featured in the "Soul of Coffee" is published.

Davidson County reports initial case of rabies for 2013
Published: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 3:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 3:28 p.m.
The Davidson County Health Department has reported the first case of rabies for 2013
On Jan. 23, a rabid skunk was found in the Clemmons area of northwestern Davidson County. The skunk was found inside a fenced-in area with two dogs. Both dogs had not been properly vaccinated and had to be euthanized. There was possible human exposure reported, and that person has been referred to a doctor for medical follow-up.
Do not handle your animal with bare hands after it has had contact with a wild animal. Saliva from the wild animal may still be present on the domestic animal's fur and by handling the animal, you may expose yourself to the rabies virus.
If there are stray dogs, cats or wildlife in your neighborhood, call Animal Control at 249-0131. Call the Rabies Hot Line at 249-2348 if you or your pet comes in contact with another animal.

Today I'm reviewing the second Girl Scout Cookie themes Nestle Crunch candy bar. This one is based on the Samoas cookie, which I have had before and will admit to being quite tasty. I am already confused by the candy bar, as they make no mention of the Samoas on here, even though it's extremely obvious that that is what they're trying to mimic. Maybe it is a copyright or trademark issue? If that's the case I don't know how they got the Girl Scout's logo on the wrapper. I digress, but I am looking forward to tasting this one since I do have a frame of reference for it.
This bar looks vastly different from the Peanut Butter Creme bar. Yes, it is also separated into two pieces but the chocolate looks much darker, so I'm guessing it's perhaps dark chocolate. It smells richly of coconut with an odd additional sweetness to it.
The bar tastes exactly like the Samoas. I can taste the coconut, and even the flakes of coconut tucked into the bar. That strange sweetness that I smelled comes out as a slight caramel flavor. The chocolate is oddly flavorless and sweet. The bar is still tasty, and reminds me exactly of the cookie, minus the cookie texture.
I don't think I enjoyed this one as much as the Peanut Butter Creme bar. This one was just cloying sweet from the combination of the coconut and caramel. In the cookie form you have some shortbread to add some substance and a little salt to the mix, but here the wafers don't contribute nearly as much. It's still a tasty candy bar, and if you're a Samoas fan I think it's worth trying to see how you think it measures up to the cookie.

Family of man who was zapped with stun gun at father's funeral receives settlement
Published: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 4:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 7:18 p.m.
Five years ago, New Hanover County sheriff's deputies zapped a pallbearer with a taser as he loaded his father's coffin into a hearse. Now, that man's family has settled for $80,000 a claim that the episode caused severe emotional distress and amounted to an invasion of privacy.
The settlement, which came to light on Wednesday in a memorandum circulated among senior county officials, brings resolution to a long-running legal battle and averts a potentially costly federal jury trial. Because it was reached between the family and the insurance company, the county does not incur any of the cost, though it did pay a multi-thousand-dollar insurance deductible when the lawsuit was first filed.
"That was an unfortunate situation all the way around for both parties and I'm glad it's resolved," said New Hanover County Sheriff Ed McMahon, who was then second-in-command at the sheriff's office and one of five deputies disciplined in the case, on Wednesday.
Deputies showed up to arrest the pallbearer, Gladwyn Taft Russ III, at his father's funeral on an outstanding warrant for communicating threats after he reneged on a promise to turn himself in. Originally, the plan called for deputies to arrest Russ immediately after the funeral, but sheriff's officials said a miscommunication led to them moving in earlier.
The sheriff's office obtained the warrant in August 2008 after Russ allegedly made threats against his estranged wife. But deputies didn't catch up to him until early November of that year. And instead of arresting him, they negotiated for Russ, then 42, to turn himself in two days later because his father had an upcoming surgery.
Two days came and went, and Russ never showed, leading deputies to believe he fled the state. But Russ phoned a few days later, pleading to let him report to the sheriff's office after the Nov. 18 funeral for his father, who had died Veteran's Day.
Now, though, deputies had lost trust in him. So they hatched a plan to discreetly take him into custody at his father's funeral at Andrews Mortuary Valley Chapel at 4108 S. College Road.
Two deputies arrived wearing suits and ties, blending in with the crowd of mourners gathered there to pay respect to the father, 70-year-old Gladwyn Taft Russ Jr.
As the younger Russ helped load the casket into the hearse, the deputies grabbed him by the arm and kneed him in the back of the leg. Russ resisted, hollering, cussing and spitting as deputies tried to restrain him. At one point, they shocked him with a stun gun.
No one else knew what was happening. Confusion ensued. People cried. One of the deputies' guns fell out its holster during the chaos and bounced on the asphalt. "We almost dropped the casket," Russ' brother-in-law told the StarNews afterward.
The frenzy caused such alarm that family and friends went home instead of following the procession to the cemetery, where Russ' father was buried with military honors. He served in the Navy. The episode drew apologies from sheriff's officials, who acknowledged the poor timing. Still, Russ' mother, Peggy Russ, and sister, Taffy Gause, sued then-sheriff Sid Causey and the five deputies involved, including McMahon, the following year, demanding hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages. The case had been set for trial on March 18 before the county's insurance company reached the settlement and a judge dismissed the suit.
Russ' communicating threats charge was later dismissed when the woman failed to show up for court. Charges of assault and resisting arrest also were thrown out as part of an agreement in which Russ pleaded guilty to the most serious offense facing him – possession of a firearm by a felon.
He is currently imprisoned, scheduled for release on May 7, according to the N.C. Department of Public Safety.

Best Tide Clock Ever!!!!!!!!!!
By Gracie
from Flagler Beach, FL
This tide clock is one of the most quality ones for the price. It's very heavy, has beautiful wood and trim with glass front - not one of the cheap cardboard plastic ones. Terrific buy.

Wanted: Cool Single Climbing Buddy
You've had the same climbing partner for three seasons; learned to deal with their peculiarities, even grown to love their dog. It's a marriage made in crag heaven. Then one day they meet their next significant other- their new climbing partner. That's it. That's all it takes. It's a break-up and the best way to get over it is to move on with someone else. The downside of rock climbing is that it's like tennis. You need a partner to play. Fortunately, there's always some signature climbing festival that sprouts come spring. Climbing fests are like speed dating events where after a ding of a bell, you've sampled the lot and usually found yourself a new partner, (and a new water bottle, chalk bag and routes to climb). You've also had one hell of a great time. After all, you're hanging out with a few hundred of your peers, climbing all day and rocking out all night. Read More

2011 Ski Season Continues or Why We Ski In May
Here it is folks: Utah has received 701'' of snow YTD or 58 feet. Alta enjoyed a 200-inch base for closing weekend last weekend while Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort broke a 40-year mark and set a record for most snow received in a single season (690 inches and still counting). With these kinds of numbers, ski areas may be fighting for bragging rights as well as next season's pass sales. Read More

|Lim wins at Pipher Invite
PULLMAN, Wash. - University of Idaho freshman Shana Lim has competed just three times for the Vandals. And she already has her first school record.
Lim, from Singapore, blazed to the victory in the 100 meter backstroke at Washington State's annual Debbie Pipher Memorial Invitational. Lim was clocked in 55.36 seconds, which not only was more than half a second faster than the Vandal record but it was just a drop away from the pool mark of 55.30.
"She dominated the race," said coach Tom Jager, who was pleased with his team's Friday afternoon outing. "The rest of the team swam really well. I was really pleased with the way our athletes swam with heart."
That being said, Jager said he had hope the Vandals would be closer than the 19 points by which they trailed host Washington State after the first day. He said he would have liked to have seen a better race in the 800 free relay (the Vandals were second).
Sophomore Kelsie Saxe drew praise after her runner-up finishes in the 100 breast and the 100 fly.
The meet concludes Saturday.

ZF-2782: Zend_Controller_Request_Http setPathInfo breaks with %20 in url
Between 1.0.3 and 1.0.4/1.5RC1 the setRequestUri method (lines 328-258) in Zend_Controller_Request_Http has added a urldecode($requestUri) call (line 356) but not had this reflected in the setPathInfo method (lines 525-551) around the baseUrl when doing the substr (lin 540).
Example that breaks this: Any Url with %20 in it.
Fix - change (lines 539 - 541):
if ((null !== $baseUrl)
&& (false === ($pathInfo = substr($requestUri, strlen($baseUrl)))))
if ((null !== $baseUrl)
&& (false === ($pathInfo = substr($requestUri, strlen(urldecode($baseUrl))))))
This issue is related to ZF-2052, and I plan to revert the change for that issue as it appears to break more things than it fixes.
Scheduling for 1.5.0RC2
Fixed in trunk; will merge to release branch shortly.
