Kirk Simplex
From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 18:48, 21 August 2010 by Gta-mysteries (talk | contribs)
Kirk Simplex is a hedge fund manager in Grand Theft Auto IV. In 2008 alone, he had made $3 billion. He married Samantha Muldoon, which lasted twenty minutes (among other celebrity marriages in the in-game media that last under a week, this is possibly meant to mock Britney Spears' 55-hour marriage to Jason Alexander, a childhood friend of hers). He once bought eight different historic English castles, decking some out with tacky, modern fittings, and burning down others to increase the value of the former. In a later interview, he states that he bought the castles shopping online while drunk, and regretted the purchases.

This is the smaller, 7"x7" version of this book.
"Visions" is a collection of photographs created by JenFu Cheng on his various pilgrimages under the surface. They are the products of the synergistic combination of JenFu's passions...SCUBA diving and photography. It includes images of creatures both tiny and grand, captured in diverse locations such as the Maldives, Galapagos Islands, Cocos Island, Cayman Islands, Turks & Caicos, Bonaire, Curaçao, Socorro Island, and Cozumel.
This book is an attempt to present just a tiny fraction of the diverse life that inhabits the Earth's oceans. It is a tribute to the artful, yet delicate, balance in which all life exists.
JenFu Cheng is an East Coast-based photographer who travels the World with the goal of capturing in photographs the essence of his passions. He learned the technical aspects of photography through a voracious appetite for books and magazines on the subject. However, being an avid climber, hiker and SCUBA diver, his inspiration has come from a close connection with his subject matter and those individuals who share in these passions. This connection facilitates immersion into the scene, something that JenFu believes is essential to capturing the spirit of one's subject. He sees photography as a means of exploring new facets of each sport as well as communicating to others his love of the outdoor world. JenFu's photography has been featured in publications including Climbing, Campbase, and Urban Climber. He also maintains a close relationship with his community and has produced work for many non-profit organizations.

I spotted this box of Lemonhead & Friends Redhead on a quick trip to Ralph's a couple of weeks ago. They were on display and the bright red box completely caught my eye. It's been some time since I had any of the Lemonhead brand, and craving something new I grabbed a couple of boxes. I figured they'd be fun to review as well as something tasty I could nibble on at work during the 3pm lull.
The first thing that stood out to me about the package was the "updated" look. Usually when Lemonhead and Friends appear together, they tend to be standing around looking at one another with fruit in their hands. This box, also cleverly named Redheads, has all the friends actually doing something. I like how here at least they're all dancing to music, it immediately feels a lot more fun.
The candies, once I open the box to inspect them, all roll out in beautiful colors of all shades or red. At first it's a little hard to tell them apart, well, the ones that weren't maroon or pink anyways. There's no distinct aroma to them as they just smell vaguely fruity. The candies are about chickpea sized. Some are smaller and some are a little larger. Quality control isn't a big concern here, but I do find the irregularity refreshing and fun.
Strawberry: Orange pink in color. The flavor is sweet and reminds me of jam. There's a nice intense berry flavor to it.
Cherry: Colored bright red. It immediately has juicy flavor that turns into a fake cherry flavor. I'm reminded of medicine. Blech.
Raspberry: Dark red in color. It tastes very "red" but also has an odd aftertaste of perfume.
Watermelon: These are the pink ones in the mix. Typical fake Jolly Rancher watermelon flavor. Notes of melons, flowers and a strange sourness that overwhelms my taste buds really easily.
These are alright, but they also aren't really my thing. I'm a citrus lover, so I want my lemon and orange flavors back please. I do realize how Lemonhead wants to get in on this recent fad of having only red flavors in a mix. It just made me miss the other flavors and want a normal box of Lemonhead. However, I do realize I'm a minority, so if you're into these red flavors, these just might be your new favorite.

Discover More Ideas You'll Need
Rated 5 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JessicaC Perfect Gift My boyfriend is a hot sauce fiend. I ordered multiple boxes of these so I can always keep one in my purse for when we go out. Cute gift idea. February 11, 2016
Rated 5 out of 5 by Trisha88 It was exactly what I was looking for! This was a gift for my brother-in-law and he loved it! It was very easy to order and the free shipping was a bonus. I'll definitely be ordering again! March 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by SpeedySloth Heaven for those bland-food emergencies! If you like your food with a little heat, I mean flavor, this is the perfect emergency item to carry in a glove compartment or purse. It is a small cardboard box containing six teensy bottles (1oz.) bottles of Tabasco sauce. Tabasco has been around forever helping those of us who cannot stand flavorless food and letting us feel a little sunshine on gloomy, bland days. The six bottle supply can be refilled, as these little guys are only available around the holidays. If you do refill the bottle, I'd say to use it quickly and not to keep the refilled bottle in your pocket. A Tabasco meets Skin Injury would be awful and probably quite memorable, depending on which pocket we're talking about. This is also the perfect gift for a spicy food lover, or anyone who asks for "extra hots" on their submarine sandwich. Enjoy! January 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Barbara Tabasco Sauce Anywhere, Anytime! Keep a pack in your desk drawer at work to spice up a drab meal! Keep a bottle with you on the go! Great size to spice up anything at a moment's notice AND it's the real Tabasco brand pepper sauce! I LOVE this product and keep a pack at work and one at home all the time. April 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Babicka Hot Stuff! We added a mini bottle to each of our "personally prepared" picnic packs that we used at a Cajun dinner. Unique! Everyone loved having his own little bottle! October 17, 2011

The More I Owe You by Michael Sledge (Counterpoint Press)
When U.S. poet Elizabeth Bishop took off for South America in the early 1950s to flee her alcoholic past, she was a delicate bird released into a hothouse of tangled vines and the love affair that would save her life. In this fictional portrayal of that relationship, Bishop restores her soul under the devoted care of Brazilian aristocrat Lota de Macedo Soares. At a time when lesbian unions stayed underground, Sledge writes, their love "crossed a new latitude."
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake by Aimee Bender (Doubleday)
Talk about an eating disorder. On her ninth birthday, Bender's heroine consumes a forkful of homemade cake and tastes her mother's misery. "Get out my mouth!" Rose Edelstein shouts, but it's no use: She's able to intuit the emotions behind every dish. In a tight-lipped family, this is an arduous recipe. Bender cleverly interprets how adolescents find their way to adulthood as Rose learns to cope with her gift and the food on her plate.
The House on Salt Hay Road by Carin Clevidence (Farrar, Straus and Giroux)
In 1937 three generations reside under one roof in a small seaside town. But when a stranger arrives, 19-year-old Nancy decides he will be her ticket out of this insular world. Or will he? In this deceptively simple first novel, family cohesion holds its members back as well as together. "It was only after something broke into its individual parts," Nancy's brother observes, "that you saw how miraculous the whole had been, how fragile."

Recently, we heard about Matthew Strange, a landscape architect who has made the Curbed Young Guns semi-finals. Curbed Young Guns is in its first year, aims to identify promising up-and-coming talent (35 and under) in the fields of architecture, interior design, and urban development. We interviewed Matthew via email about making the Curbed Young Guns semi-finals.
WLA: How does it feel to be nominated a Curbed young gun "in the fields of architecture, interior design, and urban development"?
I'm still sort of shocked, actually. The principal of my current firm, Tom Balsley, nominated me a few weeks ago – which was obviously a huge honor, but also very unexpected. He has been a great influence on me as a designer, so I'm truly grateful to him for the opportunity. It makes my upcoming move back to Hoerr Schaudt in Chicago even more bittersweet.

Attention Forum Members,
With Linkin Park's new album coming out in a little over a month, and forum traffic dramatically increasing as a result, we here at The Linkin Park Association have felt it necessary to put our collective foots down, and address a growing issue on our forums... which is the existence of trolls.
What is a troll you ask?
Courtesy of Urban Dictionary, a troll is:
"One who purposely and deliberately (that purpose usually being self-amusement) starts an argument in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by his or her peers. He will spark of such an argument via the use of ad hominem attacks (i.e. 'you're nothing but a fanboy' is a popular phrase) with no substance or relevance to back them up as well as straw man arguments, which he uses to simply avoid addressing the essence of the issue."
With every new album release, the existence of trolls posting in threads increases ten fold, and unfortunately the hype surrounding A Thousand Suns has been no exception. Since the announcement of "A Thousand Suns" over a month ago, we have had many new members sign up solely for the purpose of causing arguments in threads or with the intention of spreading malicious behavior and negativity in every thread they come across.
These trolls not only represent everything that is inherently wrong with the internet, but also cast a negative cloud of the forums they inhabit, driving old members away, while creating the appearance of an unwelcoming forum to those who have yet to join and contribute to the boards.
Therefore, due to the recent rise in trolls, we have been left with no choice but to implement a new policy. For now on, any member deemed to be a "troll" by a majority of the forum's staff and it's members, will be put on a two strike policy...and will be given only two chances to quit their antagonizing/trolling behavior before they are banned from the forums indefinitely. While this may seem a bit strong, we refuse to let our peaceful and positive forum community be derailed by attention seeking trolls, and will do whatever we can to protect the integrity and community aspect of The Linkin Park Association for our existing members and new members alike.
It should be noted that this policy does not apply to all members, and those who break a rule (but are not a troll/antagonizing member) will still adhere to the normal three infraction policy currently implemented on these boards. The LPA will also only deem a member a troll if the majority of the boards have remarked or complained that the member in question serves no contributing purpose and is only here to cause a problem on these boards.
We hope these new changes, while sudden...will help the LPA continue to grow, and will help to maintain the community aspect that has made it such a welcoming forum over the past nine years. Thank you for your understanding, and we appreciate your continued support.
Also one more thing in closing: we here at The Linkin Park Association do not tolerate members bringing feuds over from other fan sites onto our boards. This happens far too often, and we do not need the forums to be littered with such mindless garbage. Therefore, if you have previously gotten into an argument with a member of our boards on another fan site, please leave your arguments on that site as they have no business being on here. We are not the site you just came from. This is The Linkin Park Association, not [insert site name]. Thank you.
LPA Staff

Higher taxes through referendum will be pitched by Elkhart superintendent
ELKHART — Elkhart Community Schools superintendent Rob Haworth doesn't want your kids walking to school in the cold any more than you do.
Haworth announced Monday, Dec. 16, that he will ask the school board to consider a referendum to fund transportation operating costs, safety upgrades to school buildings and more.
"There's never a good time to go to your community for a referendum, but this is a better time," he said, citing corporation debt that will soon be paid off.
If the board agrees, a public hearing will be held on Jan. 6 where board members and school administrators will talk specifics of the project — including how much it will all cost and how much tax payers would be expected to kick in. Haworth declined to give a dollar amount for the proposed referendum on Monday, saying that it's yet to be decided.
Haworth said that if the Elkhart community votes to support the referendum — meaning an increase in taxes — that additional money could pay for:
- Transportation. "When I think of a referendum, I think of the two-mile walk zone," Haworth said.
The school corporation currently has less than 100 buses running and would need to cut even more to stay on budget. If a transportation operating referendum were approved, it would fund transportation for seven years. Haworth said that after that time is up, the hope is that Elkhart's economy — and assessed property values — will have improved, creating more money in the transportation fund.
- Safety upgrades. Elkhart Community Schools recently went through a safety audit. Haworth said that administration knew, even before they got the results of the audit, that major changes would be needed.
"Our schools are safe, but they could be safer," he said.
He added that audit results showed that all the buildings in the corporation put together have only as many cameras as an average high school.
- Pools. The corporation has two pools, one at each of the high schools. Both pools are about 40 years old, Haworth said, and they need some work. He would ask for a "total rework" of the pool at Memorial, and more minor changes to Central's pool.
Money made available from increased taxes would also help with maintenance and repairs that some Elkhart school buildings desperately need, Haworth said.
"It's time for new roofs on some Elkhart Community Schools," he said.
Haworth said that he didn't make the decision to recommend a referendum on his own. Since October, he's met several times with a group of 45 community members.
The group decided that a referendum was necessary to deal with some of the corporation's losses as a result of property tax caps, Haworth said.
But will the community support paying more in taxes in order to help the school?
Haworth thinks so, adding that he's been "blown away" by Elkhart's spirit to help others.
"I think we will be successful because of that heart, but also because it's the right thing to do," he said.
He also referenced support from the community group that recommended a referendum.
"It's their vision to not keep Elkhart schools at status quo — to bring more people in," he said. "That's why we are going to win."

Gardening Articles: Health :: Cooking
by Jim Wilson
Chayote (pronounced "chy O teh" -- rhyme it with coyote and you'll be close) is the perennial vine Sechium edule. It's a tropical relative of summer squash, and the flavor of the pear-shaped fruits is similar. They store much longer, however, and are harvested in fall, long after your squash vines have faded away or succumbed to squash vine borers.
Prime chayotes have smooth skin with virtually no wrinkles, spines or ropy lines, and no stringy interior fiber. Fruits range in color from ivory white to medium green. Most weigh 1/2 to 1 pound, but some reach nearly 5 pounds. The skin is edible when cooked but it can be quite tough, so is usually peeled off. The fruits remain firm after cooking and can be served as a side dish or used in soups, stir fries, salads or casseroles. The large, tender seed, the leafy tips of the tendrils and the fleshy, starchy roots are also edible when cooked.
Chayote is native to parts of Mexico and Central America, where a great many heirloom varieties can be found. If you scout the major produce markets in California in late summer or fall you can usually find several very different kinds. Chayote is also relatively common and inexpensive throughout Florida and south Texas, as well as in Louisiana, where it's known both as vegetable pear and by its Cajun name of mirliton. In early winter, you can even find a few chayotes displayed -- at a fancy price -- among the tropical fruits at produce counters in the East.

ZF-3838: $conditionalStylesheet incorrectly stated as boolean
The $conditionalStylesheet is referred to as a boolean rather than a string or false.
"The $media value defaults to 'screen', but may be any valid media value. $conditionalStylesheet is a boolean, and will be used at rendering time to determine if special comments should be included to prevent loading of the stylesheet on certain platforms."
Usage example is:
$view->appendStylesheet("styles.css", 'screen', 'lt IE 7');
Which outputs:
Used as a boolean it would simply output:
Should be updated to reflect that the primary use is to pass a string, but you could pass the boolean value of false.
This has been fixed in r11835.
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.

Shop for a Cause
A chic mix of more than 500 guests brought their purchasing power to Barneys New York's Chicago store for a shopping event benefiting the Children's Research Fund.
Arriving guests headed to the second-floor shoe salon, where they were greeted with Champagne and cocktails. Armed with an exclusive discount (and the knowledge that a portion of the night's sales would benefit CRF), style-savvy shoppers browsed the latest collections while nibbling savory hors d'oeuvres and chocolate petit fours. Lauded makeup guru Tony Surratt, who recently launched a new cosmetics line, was also on hand to provide one-on-one beauty consultations.
Adding to the evening's excitement was a selection of luxe prizes, such as designer shoes, jaw-dropping earrings and a sleek assortment of men's tailored clothing, that were won with the purchase of the lucky key that would unlock their tempting packaging. By the end of the night, more than $120,000 was raised for children's medical research. –Photography by Barry Brecheisen

Vallarta Lifestyles' Restaurant Week has just revealed a preliminary list of participating restaurants for the 10th anniversary edition of this popular annual event that takes place May 15-31. "We are calling it preliminary, because in past years, there have been a few restaurants that have made a last-minute decision about joining," explained Paco Ojeda, who oversees the event along with Juan Pablo Hernández. "We anticipate a few additional inquiries between now and the beginning of next week."
It all started ten years ago, when publisher John Youden proposed bringing to the region an event similar to others with the same name that take place in important tourist destinations around the world. The premise is quite simple: each participating restaurant designs a special, fixed-price menu consisting of three choices of appetizers, main courses and desserts, and offers it at one of two set prices (this year they are $199 and $299 pesos, beverages and tips not included). Based on this, restaurant patrons can build the ideal meal for them based on those choices, exploring restaurants they have not previously enjoyed, or revisiting a favorite one.
Ten years later, Restaurant Week has positioned itself as a not-to-be-missed event in Banderas Bay during the month of May. And surprisingly, it is still the only Restaurant Week event to take place in all of Mexico.
To remain in the minds and hearts of foodies everywhere, Restaurant Week relies on important promotional sponsors that help spread the news, particularly for those that make special travel plans to Puerto Vallarta during the second half of May. This year, Restaurant Week has partnered with Puerto Vallarta's Tourism Bureau (FIDETUR) and Riviera Nayarit's Conventions & Visitors Bureau. Both agencies began spreading the good news about Restaurant Week in the many promotional trips they organize around the United States, Canada and the rest of the world. "This is an increasingly important event for us," remarked Richard Zarkin, who handles Public Relations at Riviera Nayarit. Both agencies are showcasing Restaurant Week in their websites.
CANIRAC Vallarta, the local restaurant chamber, has also partnered with outreach to their restaurant membership through their website and social media outlets. "It takes consistent work to reach out to the community," commented Ana María Lomelí, Administrative Director for the organization. "But we like the idea that Restaurant Week opens the doors to a broad variety of restaurants that can benefit from the added promotion."
Another important aid in Restaurant Week's success has been Bay Vallarta, a bi-monthly, bilingual publication that has consistently featured menu guides and additional food-related content during their May issues in past events. This year, they join Restaurant Week as an official sponsor. "The entire Bay Vallarta team is thrilled to be part of this important event and to help contribute to its ongoing success. Now on its tenth year, it has truly established itself as a landmark celebration in the region," commented Juan Espinoza, Editor.
Restaurant Week organizers will continue to receive last minute restaurant additions, along with the menus with which they will participate in the next few days. After careful proof-reading and translation revisions, the menus will be available by April 10 at restaurantweek.virtualvallarta.com. (This web address presently features last year's menu guide, to give you an idea of what to expect!) A menu guide booklet with all the menus will also be available at participating restaurants. For those that choose to browse their offerings on their iPads or tablets, a downloadable version of the menus will also be available online. Here is the preliminary list of restaurants that will participate in Vallarta Lifestyles' Restaurant Week, Tenth Anniversary Edition. (Last minute restaurants considering participation are welcome to read this for more information, and must contact the organization immediately at firstname.lastname@example.com.)

Reviews for Shortbread Lemon Bars
"I made these today using all fresh ingredients. I added toasted crushed pecans to the shortbread and added a homemade blackberry compote for a topping on top of sour cream. Looks delish and can't wait to taste them after dinner tonight. Wish I could attach a picture."
"Just finished making this. The sour cream layer has not set and I cooked it for extra time. I hope after cooling and overnight refridgeration it will set. Haven't tasted it yet, so we will see!"
"Can I just say these are the best lemon bars I have ever eaten? Fabulous! I put some in the freezer so I can get my fix every few days."
"This is too delicious for words. My grandchildren absolutely love them and beg for more."
"Very tasty! Loved the the tangy filling. Used powdered sugar as the topping . Very simple but very appetizing."

ZF-10177: Misspelled and duplicated validation messages
Unhappy with the default translations available for the various validators of the Framework, I decided to give it a go myself and I found a few inconsistencies while listing all the messages.
- There is an unconstistent use of final punctuation. Some messages have a final punctation, some don't, it doesn't really matter, but it feels a bit cluttered.
There is an unconsistent use of quotes around values, for exemple you have : {quote}{{'%value%' is less than {color:blue} %min%{color} characters long}} {{'%value%' is not greater than {color:blue}'%min%'{color}}}{quote}
But more importantly, there is subtle duplicated messages everywhere. There may be more than the few examples I'm going to cite here, but I can't possibly find every one of them. I guess an IDE could be a great help looking for these. {quote}{{File '%value%' could not be found}} {{File '%value%' does not exist}} {{File '%value%' was not found}}{quote} {quote}{{Invalid type given, the value should be a string}} {{Invalid type given, value should be a string}} {{Invalid type given, value should be string}}{quote} {quote}{{Invalid type given, the value should be a integer, a float or a numeric string}} {{Invalid type given, value should be float, string, or integer}} {{Invalid type given, value should be string, integer or float}}{quote} {quote}{{Invalid type given, value should be string or integer}} {{Invalid type given. The value should be a string or a integer}}{quote} {quote}{{'%value%' must contain only digits}} {{'%value%' contains characters which are not digits; but only digits are allowed}}{quote} {quote}{{The service returned a failure while validating '%value%'}} {{Validation of '%value%' has been failed by the service}}{quote} {quote}{{The mimetype of file '%value%' could not be detected}} {{The mimetype of file '%value%' could not been detected}}{quote}
While I understand this does not stand as an important failure, it does look unprofessional and is a bit embarassing for us since we have to send duplicates to the translation company we work with, and obviously, they bill their services by the line (and we can't remove them manually, it's part of a much larger automated process we don't really want to mess with).
So you have a massive problem because 20 or 40 lines from the 150 provided lines are duplicated. This makes about 30 to 50,-- $ for a translation company.
I expect that you have much more translations than those few lines. And those lines ARE already translated within 12 languages. I see no "translation" problem at all especially since you dont need to re-translate already translated content.
Additionally I checked the last two just to see if there are really inconsistences within the translation... but I can't find the second one.
I expect that you are using an outdated release as you did not note which release you are using. This means for me that this issue is partitially already fixed which makes it not a bug but only an improvement in my eyes. Especially as everyone can change these translations to whatever he wants to have outputted.
Removing affected version as some noted and checked strings are already fixed within 1.10.6
Checking from above to bottom:
- There is only ONE sentence with a final punctation. Not several or more... only one single message
- There are only 2 sentences with a quoting which is discussable.
But your example is incorrect:
It is wished to get:
And it's also wished to get:
Both given examples are wished and consistent.
You sound so condescending and arrogant, that's really a pain. Last time I reported an issue, you behave likewise and in the end, you admitted you were wrong and fixed it anyway. So please, stop being such a smart-ass and try to actually take a few minutes to understand people's problems before assuming people are morons. For comprehension's sake, I'm gonna reply to you the same way you replied to me, condescending and arrogant.
As I already stated in my original message, I don't use the default translations because... well... it's nothing like understandable for real non-IT-capable customers. Don't tell me final users should have to understand concepts like Zend_Date, array or Luhn algorithms. They don't care about this. Which is why I'm rewriting new translations for the default messages (and also because we don't want to use multiple formats for the translation files and we're not actually using PHP files). Maybe I'm doing it wrong, maybe I'm doing it right, I'm just following the documentation:
- http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/… Now if you don't want people to do this, stop writing they can do it in the documentation. {quote}Note: Supported languages This feature is very young, so the amount of supported languages may not be complete. New languages will be added with each release. Additionally feel free to use the existing resource files to make your own translations. You could also use these resource files to rewrite existing translations. So you are not in need to create these files manually yourself.{quote}
Then you say: {quote}Additionally I checked the last two just to see if there are really inconsistences within the translation... but I can't find the second one.{quote} It took me one grep: {quote}root@/home/nicolas/projects/zend# grep -R "could not been" . ./library/Zend/Validate/File/IsCompressed.php: self::NOT_DETECTED => "The mimetype of file '%value%' could not been detected",{quote}
Then you say: {quote}I expect that you are using an outdated release as you did not note which release you are using{quote} I did forgot to specify which version I was using, however, I also did specify the issue was still present for the next minor version since I'm using the trunk and these issues come from the trunk. Now of course, you removed that part from my bug report, so I guess that was irrelevant.
Then you say: {quote}Removing affected version as some noted and checked strings are already fixed within 1.10.6 {quote} And then the documentation says: {quote}[...] as of 1.6.0, you may provide translation strings using the actual error messages as message identifiers. This is the preferred use case for 1.6.0 and up, as we will be deprecating translation of message keys in future releases.{quote} And then I'm like, WTF? If we start using actual error messages as message identifiers, I hope you're not going to change them in each minor version, this is quite hard to keep up and that's why I started to list all the messages that seemed misspelled or duplicated... Now I understand you don't care because obviously, this is just a massive problem because 20 or 40 lines from the 150 provided lines are duplicated. That's OK, I'm not gonna bother you anymore, just do whatever you want with your framework but then don't protest if people stop reporting issues.
{quote}You sound so condescending and arrogant...{quote} {quote}stop being such a smart-ass{quote} {quote}I'm gonna reply to you the same way you replied to me, condescending and arrogant{quote}
I am no native english speaking person and my english may not be very good. But there is no need to curse at people.
When you have a problem, to communicate with non english people, in a way that you must use dirty words when you are getting a reply then I would keep in mind that this is not very constructive. Almost all people here, including me, are spending their sparetime to work on this framework.
Such a reply is neither positive, nor constructive, nor useful. There will be no further response. Work in done independently from this issue.
I am closing this issue because of the vulgar response.
Reopening because (1) there is no vulgar response and (2) we have no policy of closing issues containing vulgar wordings. Thomas, I think the reporter really didn't want to talk down to you, and in fact didn't do so.
Thank you for fixing this, even if we had a hard time understanding each others.
Setting fix version to 'next minor release' rather than 'next mini release'.

For the past two days I've been talking to myself in a thick Irish brogue. Why? I have no idea. I cannot blame it on the laryngitis that has claimed my voice, nor can I put it on the repeated viewings of Timothy Olyphant kissing assorted actresses. All I know is that, in my head, I sound absolutely brilliant.
I can't identify myself as entirely altruistic when I say that — on occasion — I write so that others might have a voice. But the truth is, I am conscious of this vicarious ticket, and I welcome those of you who have come to feel as I do to ride upon my words and allow them to act as your very own.
The selfish part is that I'll be writing them anyway, whether you like them or not, because the feelings are there. And when you're me, things like feelings can't just sit in unopened boxes, flapping around like bats in the belfry— they have to take flight, as words.
Not all feelings are universal—in fact, some are uniquely characterized and seem way too personal to assume that there's another damned soul alive who might feel as you do. But more than likely there is someone. After all, how many experiences boil down to some universal plea?
What does it mean?
Why me?
Can I be loved?
Am I a failure?
Am I worthy?
Then there are those terrible words like "forgiveness," which only confuse, especially when we're to apply the concept to our own lives. Why do they confound? Because we don't really know what forgiveness means, its definition is so iffy, so uncertain, so "up for interpretation." We look at our lives and there comes a time when all we see are our mistakes and the cruddy roads we took because of them — and we who have any backbone at all know that it's time to forgive ourselves for being such imbeciles, for making such mistakes…but the forgiveness doesn't come, does it?
It's just another word.
I'll give you an example. I can't take a compliment on my looks. I simply can't believe you — but I won't let you know that. I'll just thank you and give you the respect you deserve for being generous with kind words. And if I'm in a particularly self-indulgent mood, I'll even think you're feeling sorry for me and overcompensating. And forget it if more than one person compliments me at a time. My eyes just delglaze over.
It's senseless, I know this. And it stems from a deep insecurity that has only been reinforced by all the bloody mistakes I've made over the last few years. (Did you hear my Irish accent in there?) I simply cannot forgive myself for being stupid, and this manifests as me putting my physical self down.
Then there's the universal plea, "How could anyone love anyone as revolting as me?"
And you think: "Well, what on earth makes me think I'm as revolting as all that?"
You then answer yourself: "Look what you've put up with. Look at the stupid choices you've made. You're the sum of a thousand rejections, what else do you expect?"
And you look over all of your great traits, and you can actually see that they outnumber all the vile things you believe you're the embodiment of, but it doesn't matter, does it? Because you can take compliments all day and all night for the things you've agreed to recognize as great — but it's the things about yourself you haven't forgiven that will simply not allow the happiness to pass through.
And if you're anything like me, you sit there, day after day, on an odd little pedestal that was put up for you to balance on, where you hear the most splendid of things said on your behalf…where you know yourself as someone so capable, so willing to make a difference — an artist, a voice.
And all these people love you, and compliment you. They tell you that you were the one they all loved once, that they all envied you your courage and nerve — that you were the most talented person back then and still are now, that your words move them to tears, that you never deserved to be treated badly, that anyone who could turn his back on you is a fool, they know in their heart that if anyone can rise to the top — it's you.
And you sit. And you allow all this love and respect to reverberate in your mind and in your soul, and the trillion little affirmations bounce around, trying to stick, trying to manifest into one solid feeling, something real, something less abstract and more substantial.
But if you are like me, all you can say is, "If everybody loves me so much, then why is there no one here to love me?"
And you say it alone and if you're lonely enough, you say it in an Irish accent.
"Then let me build a bridge, for I cannot fill the chasm,
And let me set the battlements on fire."
– Sting

ZF-3917: Zend_Form_Element::isValid() losing error messages with arrays
If you create an element that represents an array and configure a validator, then isValid() will run the validators on each of the values.
Problem 1: array_merge() is used to concatenate messages and errors If two values have the same error (but a different message), then entries in $messages will be overwritten, since the key (error) is the same.
Problem 2: Information about which of the values caused which message/error is lost, so it's impossible to render the error message next to the individual values.
Background: I ran into this bug(1)/limitation(2) when working on a decorator which would replace ViewHelper and allow rendering of ANY element as an array (with the help of some javascript). For example, you could add a "text" element and set isArray and the decorator would render it as a series of text inputs with the user having an option to remove any of them or add new ones.
Suggestion: Keep errors and messages in a separate array for each of the values, e.g.: array( [0] => array( [errors] => same as now, [messages] => same as now, ), [1] => array( [errors] => same as now, [messages] => same as now, ), )
Then to maintain backwards compatibility and simplicity merge them on the call to getMessages()/getErrors(). Additionaly add methods like getMessagesForValue($index)/getErrorsForValue($index).
Regards, Jaka

Anyone else excited for the premier tonite? It's been too long!
Here here! DVRing it in case I get home a bit late.
"What's your play, son?" Can't wait to find out.
Can't wait.......until I watch it tomorrow on the DVR, I have to get up early. But SOA might be my favorite TV show right now. Plus the first episode of the season in this series is usually one of the best IMO.

50 year old men with hardleys everywhere will be touching themselves tonight! Followed up by sitting in their garage reving up their "hogs", and then driving by big barn and waving at each other. Big night!!!!!
Count me in. Love this show.
Big Thumbs up for this.

I'm okay with Tara (Maggie Siff) as well...
90 minute premiere tonight, I believe.
I was super excited, but now I can't decide... Turns out I missed the entire last season of SOA (I did the exact same thing last season), so now I have to catch up. I'm glad I have an extra season to watch, but wish I would have realized it a few weeks ago so that I could be up to date for the premiere tonight.

You can't go into this season without seeing last season...you would be lost. That is all I will say

Neshama works at the Fairfax Library.
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.
This installment: weird short stories featuring animals, grim childhood doings in England, and an amazing mystical blockbuster.
I Am An Executioner by Rajesh Parameswaran
Subtitled Love Stories, but such surprising takes on the nature of the beast, or in many cases, beasts. A tiger loves his keeper to death. There's interspecies connection between elephants and humans in one story and humans and insect-like aliens in another. (Who knew there's a language called Englaphant?) Some are placed in historical times, some are contemporary, but there's a sense of intimacy in which the protagonists address the reader with true confessions or try to set the story straight. Peculiar, disturbing, and often charming.
The Child Who by Simon Lelic
Another in the stream of childhood atrocities I keep reading about. This one, from England, features a 12-year-old murderer, Daniel, and his lawyer, Leo. It's a huge case that might catapult Leo's career, and indeed it does but with awful consequences for his own family life. Daniel refuses to speak at first and his parents are unpleasant and uncooperative. Community sentiment is grim, predictably. It's an incredible moral tangle trying to support someone who seems unredeemable, and lots of complex underpinnings about who's really at fault. Sad and thoughtful.
Gods Without Men by Hari Kunzru
A mystical blockbuster, totally improbable (magical realism) but weirdly familiar. A geological formation of three spires in the Mojave desert acts like a lightning rod of sorts for many generations of pilgrims or accidental travelers over the years. (Many years, starting with 1778.) A Spanish priest reports strange goings on back then and we leapfrog through the decades, following various story threads. Much centers around a couple and their autistic son who goes missing. Alien abduction?--could be. A commune, the Ashtar Galactic Command, takes up residence, but falls on hard times and its followers wash up in degrading circumstances. Coyote moves through the story, making considerable mischief, as is his wont, and ends up exploding while cooking meth. But we all know that he's not gone for good. Lots of fun to read and I could see it as an amazing movie.
Back next Monday…

Gardening Articles: Health :: Garden Crafts
Landscaping for Winter Birds (page 2 of 3)
by Amy Bartlett Wright
The following descriptions of North American birds include their favorite food sources. For more about birds and plants specific to your area, consult a regional bird book and nearby garden center or wildlife agency. Measurements listed are from beak to tail.
Cedar waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum). This 6-1/2- to 8-inch bird, found across North America, has a waxy sheen and a pointed crest of head feathers. It eats a wide variety of berries and is a joy to watch feeding or tending young.
Northern cardinal (Cardinalis cardinalis). The northern cardinal is one of the most popular North American birds. Its overall bright red color and crested head feathers, which raise when the bird is alert or excited, readily identify the male. Female cardinals also have crests, but their coloring is more subdued. This mainly eastern bird measures 7-1/2 inches. Food sources include insects, seeds (especially sunflower), and fruit.
Finch. Their bills are generally short and wide, just right for cracking seeds. This large group includes crossbills, finches, and grosbeaks. The 5-inch goldfinch is widespread; the 5-1/2-inch purple finch is common throughout eastern, central, and Pacific states. Goldfinches enjoy eating the seeds of many meadow flowers including daisy, dandelion, and thistle.
Blue jay (Cyanocitta cristata). This aggressive feeder, found east of the Rocky Mountains, often wins when competing for food with other birds. The bird measures 11 inches. Jays in the West include the Steller's jay (C. stelleri), which is common in coastal forests and mountains into the Rockies. Jays love to eat sunflower seeds at a feeder or from the plant. Their familiar screech can be heard throughout the year.
Warbler. There are more than 50 species of warblers, most of which are colored with some yellow. They are generally smaller than sparrows and have thin pointed bills. Berries are their main winter food source.
Mockingbird (Mimus polyglottos). Also called the northern mockingbird, this 9- to 11-inch bird ranges primarily in the midcontinent. It composes its song in mimicry of other birds. It is strongly territorial throughout the summer months and eats insects, seeds, and fruits.
Chickadee (Parus). This bird sings its name, "Chickadee-dee-dee," as it flits about tree branches. Chickadees nest in excavated softwood, often using birch trees. The black-capped chickadee (P. atricapillus), measures 4-1/2 inches. Six species of chickadee are found in various regions of North America; besides the black-capped, they are boreal, Carolina, chestnut-backed, Mexican, and mountain. These birds feed on insects, seeds, and fruit.
Tufted titmouse (Parus bicolor). Like the cardinal, it sports a pointed head crest. This cute bird is a pleasure to see at a feeder, at a berried plant, or hanging upside down to feed on insects found under leaves. The male and female sport similar colors and measure 6 inches. The tufted titmouse is found in the eastern half of North America.
Woodpecker. These birds peck wood in search of wood-boring insects; they also enjoy ripe berries. In an interesting adaptation for clinging to branches, the birds' stiff tail feathers act as additional support when they stand vertically on branches, two toes forward, two back. Downy woodpeckers (Picoides pubescens) enjoy bright red viburnum berries. They measure 6 to 7 inches and are found throughout North America.
Eastern or rufous-sided towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus). This 7- to 8-inch bird, which resembles the more familiar robin, is found throughout the eastern United States; the western rufous-sided towhee has white spots on its back and shoulders. The brown towhee (P. fuscus), common in the West, is found on hillsides, in scrubby or wooded areas, and in coastal gardens. In winter these birds enjoy acorns and berries.
Bluebird (Sialia). Western (S. mexicana) and eastern bluebirds (S. sialis) make their nests in the soft wood of decaying trees. Both are 7 inches long. The western bluebird is found west of the Rockies. The eastern bluebird is becoming reestablished after a period of decline. Bluebirds will settle in nest boxes provided by gardeners and also enjoy a local birdbath. To survive the winter, they depend on food sources such as berries, spiders, and insects.
Swallow. These acrobatic flyers benefit us by eating flying insects considered pests by some. Their narrow, pointed wings allow them to swoop and dive. Before fall migration, swallows gorge themselves on insects and bayberries. Tree swallows (Tachycineta bicolor) are 5- to 6-inches long. They are found throughout North America and re the only swallow to overwinter in the southern states. Other swallows include barn swallows, cliff swallows, and purple martins.
Sparrow. Many species of sparrows are found in North America, and most enjoy a habitat of brush, thickets, and open woodlands. The white-throated sparrow (Zonotrichia albicollis) is found primarily east of the Rockies. This bird measures 6 to 7 inches. Food sources include berries, seeds, spiders, and insects.

Guest blog courtesy of 2011 Summer Teacher Institute participant Sarah Dougher, educator at Portland State University and at the Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls in Portland.
One thing about exploring the history of women is that in order to tell these important stories, the personal is made public, and the personal often becomes political. Although this is an old saw, it sings a new tune when we are talking about the materials in the Women who Rock: Vision, Passion, Power exhibit. Upon seeing Wanda Jackson's dress, a kind of shabby-looking red, white and blue number hanging next to her hand-decorated guitar, our tour guide mentioned that when the museum had asked Jackson for items to display, she didn't have many dresses from the early period. She explained that her mom made all her dresses by hand, and because they were poor, would often recycle elements, such as fringe and rhinestones, in dress after dress.
What we saw displayed at the museum were elements that may have graced the famous dress that did not cover her shoulders when she first played at the Grand Ole Opry. She was forced by the host to wear a jacket on stage because her dress was "too revealing." We might have been looking at elements from the dress she wore on Town Hall Party in 1958 when she belted, "You gotta rock your baby all night long" in her growling, assertive voice. But this tidbit of information, which doesn't appear anywhere in the text of the exhibit or in the catalogue, is the one I keep thinking about: Her mom made her dresses. They were poor and had to make due and recycle.
These stories resonate with people, and especially young people. These kind of details can fuel a discussion about the socio-economic conditions for a young white woman playing music in the segregated American south in the 1950s, and can connect the day-to-day elements of music with the flashes of celebrity and fame that also occupy these exhibits.
I felt very lucky to be able to talk with educators at the Rock Hall's Summer Teacher Institute about how women who rock can be a way into history and music for many different kinds of learners. We talked about how girls' singing and dancing games, like "Little Sally Walker," provide an unbroken link between girls who lived in a time before widespread electricity and ourselves, and the importance of these games in different modes of getting along, different modes of singing, dancing and playing together. If we say, "girls' games don't have anything to do with rock 'n' roll," we are wrong. If we say the fringe doesn't matter, we are also wrong. To best connect younger learners with the significance of popular music in American life, in their lives, we have to pay attention to these less obvious, less conventional historical details of the lives of girls and women. The Rock Hall, together with the Library and Archives opening next year, have tremendous intention to keep telling these important stories, in order to connect to a new generation of learners. I, for one, can't wait to see what they come up with next.

Use facial skin care—on your hands
"We wash our hands dozens of times a day and expose them to the sun. Your face would be a prune if you treated it that way," says hand model Ellen Sirot. Her advice: By day, use cream with SPF such as Hand Perfection Day Cream SPF 15 ($15; drugstore.com); at night, try something richer like Curel Hand & Cuticle Therapy ($6; curel.com).
Trim your nails
"Many women opt for a shorter haircut as they age because it's more flattering. The same goes for nails," says Christina Aviles, a manicurist who works with Dior Beauty. Because nails tend to become drier and more brittle over time, the shorter they are, the healthier they'll look.
Use nail color as camouflage
Polish can affect the appearance of hands, says Aviles. Got spots? Opt for sheer, neutral hues (beige or honey) and steer clear of white or dark, opaque lacquers, which accentuate hyperpigmentation. Visible veins? Avoid cool hues such as hot pink (they play up blue blood vessels). Warm colors like coral or golden brown will be more flattering.
