ZF-10869: Zend_Http_UserAgent_AbstractDeviceTest::testMatchMobileOtherHeaders() unit test failure.
{panel} 1) Zend_Http_UserAgent_AbstractDeviceTest::testMatchMobileOtherHeaders Failed asserting that is true. {panel}
The same error is generated by different code within trunk and 1.11 release branch:
trunk: {panel} $userAgent = 'Opera/5.12 (Macintosh;US;PPC) [en]'; $this->assertTrue(Zend_Http_UserAgent_Mobile::match($userAgent, array( 'HTTP_USER_AGENT' => $userAgent ))); {panel}
{panel} $server = array( 'http_accept' => 'midp' ); $this->assertTrue(Zend_Http_UserAgent_Mobile::match($userAgent, $server)); {panel}
It seems, that the problem is produced by some of latest fixes, but corresponding changes were not merged into release branch.
PS It looks like large enough part of new commits were not merged into release branch yet. That would be good to have it done, since new release is coming soon.
Fixed on the 1.11 release branch; had to merge 3 commits from trunk to the branch.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Herbs
Problems with Deer
by Karen Jescavage-Bernard
Deer are cute, intuitive, persistant, and adept at surviving in the woods or on our gardens.
It was bound to happen sooner or later, and as gardener-versus-wildlife conflicts go, this one is comparatively new. But we've got to face it: There are more deer in the world than 20 years ago, and there are more people, especially in the suburbs and country. As an ecologist would put it, our respective habitats overlap more frequently than before.
Nevertheless, this overlap is causing traumatizing and sometimes expensive dilemmas for gardeners. In truth, there is no tidy solution. The only sensible option is to rely on a smorgasbord of big-picture and garden-level techniques.
Name That Deer
The greater frequency of deer encounters on suburban roads indicates their increasing numbers.
Of the 38 deer species worldwide, the whitetail in the East and mule deer in the West are the two that cause the most problems for American gardeners. Surveys estimate the current total deer population at approximately 30 million, compared to about 12 million a decade or so ago. Although the causes of this population explosion are elusive, the threat it poses to gardens and farms is clear.
Deer are a fecund species, and they produce multiple offspring when stressed. Over her average 10-year lifespan, a doe and her daughters can produce up to 100 fawns. In recent years, the incidence of twin and triplet fawns has increased.
Concurrently, residential and commercial development has encroached further into deer habitats, which also discourages herd-trimming activities of hunters and coyotes. Development also adds to garden and landscape plantings that provide more nutritious food sources than were available to deer in the past.
While science works on an effective contraceptive, gardeners struggle with a growing problem. Over the long term, effective planning could minimize future problems. On the community level, replacing widely spaced suburban lots with clustered homes and large undeveloped-land areas would preserve blocks of natural habitat large enough for hunters and animal predators like coyotes to reduce deer populations. Also, managers of public parks, highways, wooded watershed lands, private preserves, and corporate parks could reduce deer damage in residential areas by replacing ornamental plantings in nonresidential areas with species that provide habitat for wildlife.

CLEVELAND (June 22, 2009) – The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will host the 12th annual Rock and Soul Festival on Sunday June 28, 2009. The event will be held from noon until 4:30 p.m. The general public is invited to attend this FREE concert.
The Rock and Soul Festival is a celebration of African American music. The vitality of Black influence on American music and culture has been irresistible; its impact, profound and lasting. This soulful festival features performances by national and local artists and coincides with Black Music Month.
Artists performing at the Rock and Soul festival include Artistree, Christelle, Eddie Holman, Kharizmah, Malina Moye and Sylver Logan Sharp.
Artistree is a group of four Pittsburgh vocalists consisting known for blending harmonies and hip-hop into a unique mix of R&B. Their album, The Truth, reflects personal episodes they have each encountered. Artistree plans to continue on the journey of having a positive image in which younger listeners can look up to.
Las Vegas based 19 year-old Pop/R&B artist Christelle has taken on countless challenges in her young life and career and has successfully met every single one. Born in Gabon, West Africa, Christelle grew up listening to French, African and American music, but the music that struck a chord in her was the American R&B and hip-hop of artists. Her debut album broke the Top 40 R&B/hip hop albums on Billboard on May 9, 2009 and has remained there since. Her single with Dizzy D, "What You Gon' Do Wit It" was #1 in top 10 Hot R&B/hip-hop singles sales on May 23, 2009.
Eddie Holman's repertoire has secured accolades over the years, and his admirers include industry artists such as Isaac Hayes, Dionne Warwick and super-rapper NAS. He works year-round, performing at concert halls not only around the country but throughout the world, mesmerizing fans with his rich tenor voice and the original Philly sound. He is best known for his songs, "Hey There Lonely Girl" and "This Can't Be True, Girl."
Kharizmah is an electric 10-piece show band that is quickly gaining popularity throughout the Kansas City area. Kharizmah specializes in old school R&B and current hits, but also perform a wide range of diverse tunes. The groove band delivers a hard hitting and well choreographed two hour plus show that is filled with much excitement, which often has brought audience members to their feet.
Malina Moye is an independent singer, songwriter and guitarist. She fuses Soul, R&B, and Rock. Moye has shared the stage with Prince, Boyz II Men and Robin Thicke. Her single "Alone" peaked at number 27 on the Billboard 's Hot 100, and her first single "Girlfriend" peaked at number 48 on Billboard R&B charts.
Sylver Logan Sharp, an R&B, soul, pop and dance recording artist and entrepreneur, is the lead singer of CHIC. She has recently released her solo album, Place to Begin. In 2005, her vocals topped the dance music charts with her #1 Billboard Hit, "All this Time" featuring DJ Jonathan Peters. She also sells jewelry from her line, Sylverwear, at her shows.

Groove. A slang definition of groove is an enjoyable time or experience. Or, as from the fictional "Stella," your mojo, your vibe, that which makes you click, tick, thrive, survive. Your essence. At times, if you lose your "groove," you can lose that which helps makes you wake up happy each morning, your compass, your roadmap to life. You may feel if something is missing. "It" may be hard to put a finger on but when "it" is gone, you definitely know it. For me, my groove is the essence that makes me happy and helps me accomplish life with an anticipation of what is yet to come, also helps me to be fearless, adventurous and nurtures my being. In fact, serendipity is one of my groove mantras!
I have experienced some "take you to your knees" things in my life — my father suffering from and dying young of a debilitating horrible, horrible disease; physical abuse in my first marriage; discrimination at work (yup, discrimination is real and more awful than you can imagine if you've never been through it); and endometriosis. Yet I survived all of those things, knees wobbly for sure, but I was left standing heading into my 50s pretty darned happy. In fact, I was lovin' life in my late forties! I had figured out some real important stuff, including who I wanted to be, put some tricky relationships in order, got remarried to a sexy-smart-oh-so-yummy-loved-kids-guy who I loved AND really liked! When I was around him, I felt butterflies in my stomach. Ah…real love! Although Stella found her groove in Jamaica, I took my new husband and family TO Jamaica to get my groove on by jumping off the cliffs at Ricks Cafe, dancing on the beach, wearing bikinis, going snorkeling and watching the sun come up each morning, sitting on a lounge chair facing the ocean with a cup of coffee that was so good, it made you want to slap your mama!
I was active, excited, invigorated, alive! Yes, I did dread the every 28 days, but by my late forties, I had learned to manage the nuisance. I had my groove thing goin' on!
Now just when I was poised to conquer the world, I started going through menopause. Menopause caused me to go to one knee. In fact, I was down on both knees. The hot flashes, memory lapses, vaginal dryness, weight gain, insomnia. Seriously! A lifetime of cramps, and now I was going to go through this this...horror? I cried foul but to no avail. My groove started to elude me. I was in a serious funk. Menopause was sucking away my groove. I felt like a different person...not a person who was happy, sunny and optimistic, but someone whose body was turning her into a unhappy, lethargic, moody pessimist! I was losing control and I wasn't curious anymore. I found myself existing from one crummy bad feeling to the next.
Menopause is not for sissies or the faint of heart. For those of us who have experienced childbirth free of drugs (only one birth, I learned with the other two...at the first sign of pain, hello…drugs NOW!) you understand what I'm talking about. Most women that I know are strong. We have to be to keep all the balls of life in the air! But now Menopause is a whole 'nother program. All women will go through it, but HOW we go through it can be a defining time in our lives. In fact, it can affect how we view and live our life for years!
My Mother sailed through menopause as she sailed through her menstrual cycle — pain free and more of a nuisance than anything else. Started at 16, ended at 50, and nary a cramp in between. Wow.
Me, on the other hand, I started my menstrual cycle at 10 years old in the fifth grade. I immediately had cramps. I mean the kind of cramps that aspirin won't help, and every 28 days I knew I would be in bed for at least two days. The kind of cramps that made me miss a band trip to Disneyland when I was in high school. The kind of cramps that made me question if I was being punished for something. When I was 18, I was diagnosed as having endometriosis and that the only real cure was a hysterectomy. Well, what I knew for sure was that I wanted to get married and have children and AFTER that, then I would reassess the situation. I went on to get married and have three beautiful children. Eventually dumped the abuser, and still suffered from cramps and endometriosis.
Needless to say I was actually looking forward to and slightly excited about the onset of menopause. It would end the curse! For years, I had fended off doctors who advised me to just go ahead and have a hysterectomy. Well, I didn't WANT to have a hysterectomy. I wanted to make it to and through menopause with all my parts in place and have nature take care of my lifelong problem (o.k. not totally lifelong, but when you start having periods at 10 years old, by age 50, it seems like a lifetime). But even though I was "looking forward" to menopause, mainly as the final cure to my endometriosis, I'd heard stories about the difficulty of actually getting through those menopausal years. Research was suggesting that perhaps synthetic hormone replacement therapy wasn't the 'holy grail' for treatment of menopause. So, I dutifully did my own research so I could figure out what would be the most effective and safest course of treatment for me.
After scouring the internet for alternatives to synthetic hormone replacement therapy and after having read Suzanne Somers book The Sexy Years, I decided that I would try a natural approach. I must say that Suzanne's book was informative as well as down right funny at times. Her description of the Seven Dwarfs of Menopause (Itchy, Bitchy, Sweaty, Forgetful, Bloated, Sleepy and All-Dried-Up) was hilarious and so true for many women! So, once I started going through menopause, I dutifully scheduled a doctor's appointment and the tests she took came back saying, yup, you've started menopause). I explained to my doctor that I had already decided that I would not be taking synthetic hormone replacement therapy that I wanted to try a natural approach. She gently reminded me it could take years to actually get through menopause. Gulp. I knew that …right? Okay, I breathed deeply and said yes, be that as it may, I was determined to use diet and exercise and bio identicals to get me through. My doctor smiled knowingly (I'm sure she'd heard THAT before...just like some first time moms who think they want to go through a drug free, natural childbirth). She warmly advised me that she would be available should I change my mind and went over alternatives to natural approach, just in case I changed my mind. My doc was NOT a rookie!
About two months later, after hot flashes that felt like my insides were literally on fire, and I'd broken out in a sweat during the most inopportune times (like while at work with customers at my desk, then all of a sudden I'd go from fresh faced to soaked in perspiration…a sheen that couldn't be missed). That was fun, I can only wonder what those poor people thought was happening to me…I mean I didn't want to say, "excuse me, I'm just having a hot flash…don't worry, it'll be over shortly"!) Then, I experienced hot flashes that shot me straight up in my bed from a deep sleep, soaked and burning up at the same time. And, I had a love life that was on life support (my body felt like it had been invaded by an alien...making love was not on my top 10 list). I finally decided to cry "UNCLE" and decided to do something that would involve drugs a.k.a. synthetic hormone replacement therapy regime. To be honest, I wasn't following the advice I'd gotten from the Suzanne Somers book, or my own research. I was winging it, which is NOT a good idea when going through menopause. For some reason I started living in my head, which is never a good place to live, too many one-sided conversations. Also, I was cranky, unorganized and just felt old, and forgetful and muddled and uninspired! I just wanted my groove back, and I wanted this menopause curse to be over! So, frustrated, I called my doctor. I am certain she was not surprised to hear from me but she was very professional, gracious and non judgmental (didn't say told-you-so).
My doctor gave me a combination low dose of estrogen and progesterone. The estrogen came in the form of a patch that I put on my backside and changed every 4 days or so. Easy-peeze! While I wasn't thrilled about depending on drugs and I did experience weight gain as a side effect, I have to admit, my life became much less stressful and my mood swings stabilized. I started feeling less alien-like and more like my old self. I felt my groove slowly coming back though it was drug assisted!
A few months after starting hormone replacement therapy, my husband and I went to Cabo San Lucas for a vacation. We got to our resort, and it was a beautiful, magical place where I was poised to have a romantic fun time with my hubby, margaritas, Mexican food, dancing til all hours and lying out by the pool alternately listening to Pandora radio on my iPhone and reading the latest Daniel Silva spy novel. In other words...my sort of paradise. However, while unpacking my bag, I couldn't find my patches. Holy moly, the one I was wearing needed to be changed, and I had forgotten the replacements at home! I knew what was in store for me, and I literally panicked. My vacation (and my husband's too) was ruined! There is no such thing as cold turkey when you are on hormone replacement therapy. My doctor had warned me if I wanted to get off, I'd have to wean myself with a lower dosage until my body readjusted itself. All kinds of unpleasant side effects awaited me. Crap!
I decided then and there to get myself off the hormone replacement theory and get on a natural routine that I could control without a prescription. A year and a half later, and I can happily report that I am drug free and entering my fourth and hopefully last year of menopause, but my groove is BACK and is natural and drug free. Hip hip hurrah!
Here's how I conquered the stranglehold of my menopause-joy-and-groove-and-joy-snatcher.
To combat my weight gain, I exercise three to five times a week at the gym, 45 to 80 minutes each time doing circuit training. As a result, I've lost 12 pounds, and I feel less stressful. I drink eight glasses of water a day. I do X-box Dance Central with my kids and grandkids a few times a week (the fitness feature is a great way to dance, lose weight and have fun all at the same time). I take one estrogen with vitamins tablet each day (purchased over the counter). I also take an airborne tablet every day to help my immune system. I eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. I confess to a sweet tooth but while I don't go overboard, I also don't diet and I don't deprive myself. I have added healthy items to my diet, but I eat what I want, but practice portion control. I have a massage and an adjustment once a week at my chiropractor. Soy milk and edamame (yummy) are new staples in my diet.
After one year of this regimen, I now only have a hot flash about once every two weeks, my insomnia has abated and turned into sweet dreams, my memory is not so fragile (coming out of a fog and don't fear Alzheimer's) and my love life is oh so delicious again! I go dancing, travel, and spend lots of time with my three darling grandkids. I love Oreo cookies and karaoke (my first karaoke performance was in Mexico — what a blast!). I have trips planned to Brazil and want to go on an African safari, definitely going to back to go to New Orleans to Jazz festival next year and am writing a book. In other words, full steam ahead! Balance and joy and fearlessness and curiosity are staples in my life again. I am living my life on my terms, synthetic drug free and definitely have my groove back, with all my parts in place! I'm thinking about buying a pink scooter to tool around town on. Way cool!

A few days back we introduced you to Accent Inns new cousin Hotel Zed. Today is the day when Hotel Zed officially comes into being but that also means we are saying goodbye to an old friend, The Blue Ridge Inn. Other than the general outline of the building, the transformation into Hotel Zed essentially removes all traces of Blue Ridge.
Think of it as saying goodbye to an old car. It did you well for many years. Only required servicing at the appropriate times but alas, the mileage was high and the style, well let's just say not really anything that will ever obtain that "timeless" quality. (more…)

California Anti-Paparazzi Law Fails First Court Challenge
A California law meant to impose special penalties on the paparazzi for reckless driving has been declared unconstitutional by a Los Angeles County superior court judge, according to several news reports.
Judge Thomas Rubinson said the law was too broad when prosecutors invoked it against photographer Paul Raef. The paparazzo was charged with reckless driving last July after a high-speed chase of pop star Justin Bieber's car.
The law, which was enacted in 2010, imposes extra penalties on anyone who drives dangerously to take photos for commercial gain. It was intended to target the paparazzi, although it could be used to prosecute photojournalists rushing to breaking news events.
The extra penalties include jail terms up to six months and fines up to $2,500. It was signed by former governor (and actor) Arnold Schwarzenegger, and it was supported by several celebrities who have lobbied state lawmakers to pass laws restricting the activities of the paparazzi.
Raef was first to be charged under the law when he chased Bieber's car on a California freeway last summer at speeds that allegedly exceeded 80 miles per hour.
Rubinson said the law interfered with news gathering activities protected by the First Amendment.
Reaf still faces reckless driving charges and fines that any driver might face, but he's no longer subject to the additional penalties called for by the photos-for-commercial-gain law.
And the law itself has not been struck down entirely. Rubinson's ruling on the law applies only to Raef's case. If prosecutors appeal the ruling to a higher court, the law could be struck down entirely.

From Twitter to TIME: An Egyptian Photojournalist Finds His Voice Amid Violence
A difficult reality of photojournalism is that photographers often define their careers by covering conflict. Egyptian photojournalist Mosa'ab Elshamy is the latest example. Elshamy began photographing as a citizen journalist during the Arab Spring protests in Egypt in 2011, when he documented demonstrations against then-President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo's Tahrir Square. Two and a half-years later, he's made the transition from being an amateur to being a photojournalist who is watched by top photo editors and a nearly 40,000-strong Twitter following.
Elshamy's work in Egypt, and from Gaza during the 2012 war there, has been published by the likes of The Economist and Harper's among others, and he's won awards in the Egypt International Photography Contest and Arab Union of Photographers competition. Yet during the last few weeks his photos of Egypt's descent into violence, particularly his images of the clearing of a pro-Morsi sit-in at Rabaa at the end of July, have earned him the cover of The New York Times and bylines for TIME International and AlJazeera English, among other publications.
Patrick Witty, international picture editor of TIME, says he first heard about Elshamy's work on Twitter at the end of July. "After the massacre at Rabaa Square on July 27, someone I follow tweeted about a picture he made," Witty told PDN in an email. "I tracked it back to his Flickr account and reached out to him."

The Z1 first segment of the space station truss was built by Boeing/Canoga Park and was 3.5 x 4.5 meters in size. It was attached to the +Z port on Unity. Z1 carried the control moment gyros, the S-band antenna, and the Ku-band antenna.
PMA-3, built by Boeing/Huntington Beach, was docked to the -Z port opposite Z1. PMA-3 was installed on a Spacelab pallet for launch.
On October 14 at 16:15 GMT the Z1 segment was unberthed from the payload bay and at around 18:20 GMT it was docked to the zenith port on the Unity module.
On October 15 at 14:20 GMT the ODS airlock was depressurised, beginning a spacewalk by Bill McArthur and Leroy Chiao. Official NASA EVA duration (battery power to repress) was 6 hours 28 minutes.
The second spacewalk was on October 16, with Jeff Wisoff and Mike Lopez-Alegria. The suits went to battery power at 14:15 GMT and Wisoff left the airlock at 14:21 GMT. Repressurisation began at 21:22 GMT for a duration of 7 hours 07minutes.
Leroy Chiao and Bill McArthur began the third STS-92 EVA at 15:30 GMT on October 17, completing their work at 22:18 GMT for a total time of 6 hours 48 minutes.
After the spacewalk, Discovery completed the second of the three station reboosts scheduled for STS-92. They fired reaction control system jets in a series of pulses of 1.4 seconds each, over a 30-minute period, gently raising the station's orbit by about 3.1 km.
The last of four successful spacewalks began on 18 October at 16:00 GMT and ended at 22:56 GMT, lasting 6 hours and 56 minutes. Jeff Wisoff and Mike Lopez-Alegria each jetted slowly through space above Discovery's cargo bay.
After the space walk, Discovery completed the third and final reboost of the space station.
On 19 October the astronauts worked within the ISS. They completed connections for the newly installed Z1 external framework structure and transferred equipment and supplies for the Expedition One first resident crew of the Station. The crew also tested the four 290-kg gyroscopes in the truss, called Control Moment Gyros, which will be used to orient the ISS as it orbits the Earth. They will ultimately assume attitude control of the ISS following the arrival of the U.S. Laboratory Destiny. The tests and the transfer of supplies into the Russian Zarya Module took longer than expected. As a result, the crew's final departure from the Station's Unity module was delayed. Melroy and Wisoff took samples from surfaces in Zarya to study the module's environment. They then unclogged the solid waste disposal system in the Shuttle's toilet, which was restored to full operation after a brief interruption in service.
Discovery undocked from the ISS at 16:08 GMT on 20 October. The final separation burn was executed about 45 minutes after undocking. The crew had added 9 tonnes to the station's mass, bringing it to about 72 tonnes. The return to earth, planned for 22 October, was delayed repeatedly due to high winds at the Kennedy landing site. The landing was finally made at Edwards Air Force Base, California, on October 24, at 22:00 GMT.

The 12U Heber Springs Cardinals have played with a stacked deck all season, using a superb lineup to win all but one game. Although, that one loss came against the Astros, who needed to beat the Cardinals twice in the championship round to steal the city tournament.
But, the Cardinals would not be denied as they pounded out eight hits in only two innings in a 17-5 rout of the Astros on Friday night at the Heber Springs Sports Complex.
Cardinals' right-handed hurler Seth Jenkins pitched around a Julian Cameron walk and Nick Chaney single with one out in the top of the first inning, leaving them stranded with a pair of strikeouts.
The Cardinals got to work in the bottom half, scoring six runs on three hits, starting when Jacob Blasingame, who finished 2-for-2 with a triple, grand-slam and 5 RBIs, drew a leadoff walk.
Blasingame stole second and third before Brodi Goshien ripped an RBI single to center field for a 1-0 lead. After Jenkins walked, he and Goshien pulled off a double steal then Dillon Spivey poked a 2 RBI double down the right field line, pushing the Cardinals' lead to 3-0.
With only one out, Brandon Loethen was hit-by-a-pitch and Jacob Johnston walked, which loaded the bases for Jacob Bremmon, who cleared the bases with a 3 RBI triple to the alley in left center.
Trailing 6-0, the Astros got out of the top of the first as pitcher Dillon Creasey recorded a strikeout then following a Jarred Lawrence walk, Creasey induced a groundout handled by Evan Moore at second.
The Astros battled back with four runs on two hits in the top of the second. Hunter Carter pulled a single through the hole on left side to leadoff the frame, then Corey Horton walked but Jenkins responded with a strikeout.
Following a walk drawn by Moore, Xavier Osburn worked a full-count, RBI walk that scored Carter as the Astros trimmed their deficit to 6-1. Creasey drove home Horton with an RBI groundout to Lawrence at first base, then Cameron nailed a 2 RBI double to deep right center, scoring Moore and Osburn as the Astros suddenly pulled within two at 6-4.
Jenkins got out of further trouble with the help of Spivey, who made a diving play from his second base position to rob Chaney of a base hit while saving a run and ending the top half of the second.
In the bottom half, the Cardinals blew the game wide open with 11 runs on five hits, ignited by a leadoff walk from Clay Feemster, who advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored when Blasingame smashed an RBI triple to left field.
Creasey fired back with a strikeout but Jenkins singled to center then Spivey roped an RBI single to center, scoring Blasingame as the Cardinals took a 9-4 lead. Loethen, Johnston and Bremmon followed with three consecutive walks, pushing Jenkins across the plate for a six-run advantage.
Page 2 of 2 - Brady Taylor was hit-by-a-pitch for an RBI that scored Spivey and Lawrence bashed a 2 RBI double to the gap in deep left center as the Cardinals took a 13-4 lead, causing the Astros to relieve Creasey with Chaney.
Chaney retired the first batter he faced on a chopper back to the mound but he issued a walk to Feemster before Blasingame launched a grand-slam home run, which he lined over the center field fence for a 17-4 lead.
Chaney pitched out of further trouble and the Astros scored the final run in the top of the third as Joseph Stacks walked and scored on a throwing error following a ground ball off the bat of Carter.
Leading 17-5 with the time limit expired, Jenkins completed the game when Lawrence secured a pop-up to first base as the Cardinals celebrated the city tournament championship.

Not wanting to start thinking about work yet on Monday morning, so this topic came to my mind. It would be interesting to hear stories from some posters on CF.
What was the one greatest sports moment/story in your life that you accomplished. It could be from early years, high school, or even college if you were lucky enough to play. Lets hear em!
Can't think of a great individual moment in a game (lots of team moments), but the best individual feeling was waking up to a voicemail from my high school football coach that I had made the Des Moines Register's All-State football team.
Going to get a copy of the paper later that day and seeing my name in it was a huge validation of all the work I had put in over the years.
Finishing the Des Moines Marathon was a huge accomplishment.
An even bigger accomplishment was not hurling the Natty Ice or whatever terrible beer they were giving out for free at the finish line.
I beat two future all big ten safties on a play for the "greatest catch I've ever seen in high school football" - Bob Brooks.
I qualified for the state wrestling tournament. I wasnt supposed to. I had a tough district. First round I got smoked by the kid that ended up third in state and in the wrestle backs i faced a kid that had beat me 3-1, 8-1, 9-1 when i met him during the regular season. I took him down and caught him in a cradle in the first period. The crowd and my coaches went crazy. I still watch that video when i need a pick me up.
In high school cc there was one race at Johnston where coming into the final straightaway I was something like thirty or forty feet behind the kid in front of me but was able to beat him in a sprint to the finish when I passed him on our last stride. I felt like Rudy
I had a pretty big chest when I got voted captain of my small college football team, twice was the player of the week (as an O-lineman, unfortunately both times was with losses), Nothing huge, but at the time it sure felt good. One moment I will never forget is breaking up a no hitter in high school in the 7th to the best pitcher in our conference by knocking a triple off the right field wall. Of course I was stranded there when the game ended.
I was on a coaching staff that won a state title. That was pretty awesome
Exaggeration is a BILLION times worse than understating.
Hitting an inside the park home run my 3rd game playing varsity. It was the only way all 6'1" 150 of me was ever going to hit a home run.
The Official Paul Rhode's Salt Truck Driver.
I got the Most Improved Player during my senior year on my high school basketball team...because I spent most of my junior year on the bench with a leg injury.
not sure how i'd rate them but here's what i got:
A) clearing 6'2" in high jump when i was 5'10" (hs)
B) finishing 8th in the distance med at state despite our anchor leg dropping the baton (hs)
C) selected as one of about 6 players from the state of iowa to represent on the all midwest rugby team. (isu)
Winning ISU soccer intramurals twice!
...and being named a high school all-american swimmer.
I gave up 17 Earned Runs to Colfax-Mingo. In 3 2/3 innings.
I think this is why I drink so much.

Co-ed Soccer has some really weird rules and I can't ever find enough players for mens.
I went to Iowa State even though my dad wanted me to stay in Cedar Rapids and go to Coe, he was worried ISU would be too big and I wouldn't get involved. On a Saturday in March 2009, he and my mom walked along side me to center court at Hilton as I was honored on Senior Night as a basketball manager. Hearing those 12,000 clap for me (even though they had no idea who I was) was really an honor, and felt good to prove my dad wrong.

Live Aid was arguably the greatest live concert ever staged. A less-argued point is that Queen's performance at Live Aid stole the show. Freddie Mercury's commanding stage presence and the band's impeccable musicianship blew away stadium audiences in London and Philadelphia and the global television audience of two billion. But even the superstars performing that day, from Elton John to the Who, acknowledged that Queen's performance dominated Live Aid.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will open its latest featured exhibit, Common Ground: The Music Festival Experience on Friday, April 25, 2014. The exhibition will be an engaging look at the music festival as more than just an outdoor concert, but as a community experience. Whether it's forging human bonds, building a sense of community, providing broad exposure for musical artists or as one of the most important economic engines of the music industry, the story of the music festival is inextricably linked with music's powerful cultural impact around the globe. Visit Common Ground: The Music Festival Experience to immerse yourself in this story.

Council Unanimously Approves Holland Road Paving Project
If all goes well, a dirt portion of Holland Road west of Murrieta Road will be paved in time for th...
If all goes well, a dirt portion of Holland Road west of Murrieta Road will be paved in time for the re-opening of Menifee schools on Jan. 14.
The Menifee City Council Wednesday night unanimously approved an agreement with the city of Lake Elsinore to split evenly the $89,622 cost of paving the road. The narrow, hilly road, once a tractor path, is now one of the main routes parents take to drive their children to the new Herk Bouris Elementary School in Lake Elsinore.
Council member Tom Fuhrman recused himself from the discussion and voting. Furhman is one of four residents in that area who own the land over which the road travels. After a complicated process, Menifee secured the right to pave the road, citing a legal standard regarding prior public use of private property.
"This is an interim solution," said acting city manager Rob Johnson. "There will be no curb and gutter or sidewalks.
"This has been a very difficult issue to deal with and we had to come up with a compromise solution. This has been a thorn in the side of travelers getting their kids to school."
There have been many complaints about the condition of the road since the opening of Herk Bouris Elementary. The situation escalated a couple weeks ago during a rainstorm, when area resident John F. Smith voiced complaints on behalf of a group he formed called Citizens for Honest Government.
Johnson said the paving would begin next week and would be completed prior to Jan. 14.

ZF-2400: Add plural support to GetText Adapter
Plural support in the gettext adapter, would be extremely useful.
Resetting 'fix version priority' and 'fix version' to be re-evaluated for next release.
It should be supported in all translation adapters, not only gettext.
Gogo, gogo-sheep, we need this! :)
Agreed, this should get included for any adapter that supports it and short-circuited on others if there isn't a way to get it done.
There is no need to agree what already has been discussed. As you see this issue is already in progress and is being worked on.
Hi Everybody,
since the assignment was more than one year ago, what is the status of this "work in progres"?
We use gettext plurals and gettext domains in our zend application and need this feature quite badly. This isnt such an issue in english, but in other languages with multiple plural forms (3-6 based on numeric conditions) it is immediately visible. Users view translations without proper plurals as very unprofessional.
Domains are important if u have independent modules/applications which share same library, and you cant translate the library multiple times. Therefore u can use gettext domains to bind multiple "translation sets" into your app.
kind regards for yor help Tibor
Domains are not necessary for Zend_Translate. The actual API supports already what their benefit to PHP's gettext is. Note that domains are not part of the gettext definition but a construct of PHP's gettext extension.
Hi Thomas,
I respect your opinion where you state that you dont need domains in Zend_Translate. Just your opinion doesnt match with the general usage of PHP gettext function.
Despite the speed advantage, there are two major strengths of gettext: plurals and domains.
If you think you dont need them, then you should learn more about them. This two functionalities are a base for professional translation inside applications. Without them we can go back to txt files. There is no other API which has been able to create plural support.
The task is in progress for one year already and it isnt clear where it is going. Could you please state what the situation is, and where the progress stands now?
kind regards Tibor
Zend_Translate does not use PHP's gettext extension because it is not multi-thread aware. Zend_Translate reads the mo files directly, therefor it does not need PHP's workaround.
And even if you don't believe it: Plurals are native to translation in general... they are not unique to gettext.
Since a few weeks plural support is available to 4 adapters within Zend_Translate. But the code is in review by the development team and for now not allowed to be cored. We have to wait until it is reviewed. It should be release with 1.9 as new features are not allowed within mini/bug-fix releases.
This new feature has been accepted and integrated into the core with r16883.

General Contenta) What are the expectations for the outcome of Rio+20, and what are the concrete proposals in this regard, including views on a possible structure of the Outcome document? What should Rio+20 achieve, and how should governments prepare for it? To help answer these questions, WRI has been working as part of The Access Initiative (TAI) to encourage governments to develop specific recommendations for Rio+20. As part of these efforts, the global TAI network has now launched the Three Demands (3Ds) Campaign.
To date, the 3D Campaign has resulted in civil society groups from 26 nations sending their top national environmental governance demands to their governments, seeking specific commitments to national legal, institutional and practice reforms by or before Rio+20. Specific demands by country can be viewed on the map below, which will be updated as the campaign grows. A preliminary analysis of demands trends across countries is laid out in the TAI document ?What we want from Rio+20?.
b) What are the comments, if any, on existing proposals: e.g., a green economy roadmap, framework for action, sustainable development goals, a revitalized global partnership for sustainable development, or others? WRI has been working with its partners around the world to identify solutions under the two themes that the UN has identified to structure the debates: the ?Green Economy? and the ?Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development,? or governance for sustainable development. The first theme encourages leadership and cooperation on policies and practices that promote prosperity while protecting or enhancing the environment. The second theme seeks to strengthen the international, national and sub national institutions and procedures designed to implement these policies.
WRI?s Institutions and Governance Program believes that the key to a green economy that leads to sustainable development is transparent, inclusive and accountable systems of governance at the national and subnational level. Too often, proposals for economic reform emerge from the top down, based on economic models or theories that do not have support or input from the most directly-affected communities. Most economic prescriptions are not equally advisable for all countries, and their success depends on being refined through open processes that engage citizens. This is why initiatives such as TAI and the 3D Campaign are so important.
c) What are the views on implementation and on how to close the implementation gap, which relevant actors are envisaged as being involved (Governments, specific Major Groups, UN system, IFIs, etc.); The 3Ds Campaign is structured around Principle 10 of the Rio Declaration from the 1992 Earth Summit, in which governments affirmed that environmental decisions are best made by providing the public the rights of access to information, participation in decision-making, and access to justice.
The results of the first phase of the campaign will be presented this September at the UN Department of Information Conference for Non-Governmental Organizations that will help prepare for Rio+20, and will feed into the first ?zero draft? of the official negotiating text for Rio+20 itself. This will be the basis for a compilation document to serve as basis for the preparation of zero draft of the outcome document that will be the official outcome of the Conference. Inputs to this document are due November 1st and can be submitted online.
A second opportunity to advance this phase of the campaign will come in December 2011 when the United Nations Environment Programme and the government of Abu Dhabi host the Eye on Earth, a global summit devoted to the challenge of improving access to environmental and societal information, and a stepping stone to Rio 2012.
Finally, the TAI network is actively promoting synergies between the Rio process and the Open Government Partnership, a global effort to make governments more transparent, effective and accountable, and is seeking to generate government commitments to that end for the UN General Assembly this fall.
d) What specific cooperation mechanisms, partnership arrangements or other implementation tools are envisaged and what is the relevant time frame for the proposed decisions to be reached and actions to be implemented? The TAI network will continue in the run up to Rio 2012 to expand the number of demands issued by CSOs and to encourage governments to take these up in the form of commitments in Rio next June. Once these are in place, the challenge of Implementation begins.
Specific Elementsa) Objective of the Conference: To secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development, assessing the progress to date and remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development and addressing new and emerging challenges. Contributions could include possible sectoral priorities (e.g., (e.g., energy, food security and sustainable agriculture, technology transfer, water, oceans, sustainable urbanization, sustainable consumption and production, natural disaster preparedness and climate change adaptation, biodiversity, etc.) and sectoral initiatives that contribute to integrate the three pillars of sustainable development could be launched and endorsed at Rio+20. N/A
b) Green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication: views regarding how green economy can be a means to achieve sustainable development in its three dimensions, and poverty eradication; what is its potential added value; experience to date, including what has worked and how to build upon success, what are the challenges and opportunities and how to address the challenges and seize opportunities, and possible elements of an agreement in outcome document on a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication N/A
c) Institutional framework for sustainable development: Priorities and proposals for strengthening individual pillars of sustainable development, as well as those for strengthening integration of the three pillars, at multiple levels; local, national, regional and international. N/A
d) Any proposals for refinement of the two themes. Recall that Resolution 64/236 describes the focus of the Conference: "The focus of the Conference will include the following themes to be discussed and refined during the preparatory process: a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication and the institutional framework for sustainable development".

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 5 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cookinggirl79 my favorite pan! This wok is one of the best purchases next to my cast iron pan. I cook everyday for my family. My pan took no time at all to get perfectly seasoned. I skip the non stick pans all together they are filled with chemicals that get in your food over time. This pan becomes naturally non stick if you take the time and season the wok correctly. I suggest cooking a piece of bacon in it after you season it according to the directions. I started out with the small 8" carbon steel wok. I had to upgrade to the larger one for bigger meals. As you can see in my photo the 8" one is beautifully seasoned. The 14" pan is almost perfectly seasoned another week cooking in it and it will look like the 8" inch wok. April 7, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by tg47 So Surprised!!! I was not expecting this wok to be no where near as nice as it was:) It was absolutely fantastic:) I really could not believe the quality or the sale price!!! I'm sooo glad I ordered 2 and had I known it was going to be this nice I'd of ordered several for gifts!!! After all who doesn't love stir frys:) It also was shipped in a timely manner,which was very nice compared to alot of other companys I've dealt with recently. Thank-You so much world market!!! January 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by DrMac Excellent for all types of cooking The weight is wonderful, it's a heavy wok that allows you to cook a variety of meals, not just stir frying. Make sure you seal it first, instructions included, otherwise you will have a strange taste when you eat. I did't do that with the first one I bought and it also turned very dark. I was able to clean it but save yourself time and trouble. February 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by ricelover Excellent value Own a carbon steel wok from a high end store, but wanted a 2nd one to make multiple stir fry dishes without having to clean wok in-between and let first dish get cold. Amazed to see the low price at World's Market. The same wok is twice the price elsewhere, and I shopped around. The steel is thicker than my other wok, so it is less likely to warp under high heat. But it does take an extra minute to preheat because of the thickness. It comes with a lacquer finish that one must remove first before you can season the wok. There are clear directions for doing this included. Carbon steel woks should always be hand washed--a dishwasher will cause it to rust. I always store the wok completely dry with a thin coating of oil rubbed into the surface. After awhile, a nonstick patina develops inside the wok, making it even more pleasurable to use. I use a metal wok spatula for stir-frying, works very well. I have an expensive stainless steel wok which hardly ever gets used. It will never develop a non stick patina, and food sticks terribly to the surface. I end up using it primarily for steaming. I also have a nonstick stir-fry pan which can never get hot enough for proper stir-fry, since the high heat destroys the non stick surface (and possibly flakes into your food!). With my rice cooker and my two carbon steel woks, I can make fast delicious healthy meals in a fraction of the time. I highly recommend Grace Young's Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge. Her recipes are delicious. I love to wok. October 9, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by houseboy Fits the need but be careful We use it a lot but be careful and don't use anything to clean that is the least bit abrasive. I made the mistake of using the wrong side of one of our scrubbers and wore a whole in the cooking finish. We will replace but will not scrub so hard in the future. January 17, 2013

I believe most of these targeted ads use search terms you put into Google so if you started searching for feminine products, you'll get more ads for them.
Most websites filter out porn ads so people can't complain about them. For the most part, you'll only see porn ads on actual porn sites or sites whose owners may not know how or care about filtering them out.
I always knew. Now that he has accepted it, I'm sure life will emerge with a form of proper balance for Kirby.

clipzip and android tablet help!
I bought the sansa clipzip with the hopes that I could transfer mp3s from my nexus 10 android tablet to a microsd card and play this card on the clipzip. I tested this process with one album and it worked. I then proceeded to transfer all my music from my Mac to the microsd card and sell my mac. I then tried to add more music to the card from my nexus again and it said the card was full, which it was. I ejected it from the tablet (I use an otg cable, stickmount, card reader and 32gb SanDisk ultra microsd card) and when I tried to play it in my clipzip, it now skips through every song in whatever album I am trying to play.
In an attempt to solve the problem, I updated the clipzip's firmware using my friend's Mac (since there is no android option). This fixed the problem!... For a few hours; as soon as I turned off the device and back on, it was back to skipping immediately through every song.
I wrote to the sandisk people and they said I would have to reformat the microsd card to get it working and advised me to not use the same card with my clipzip and nexus tablet. They said the problem was probably that the tablet put some sort of hidden system files on the microsd card that are messing with the clipzip. If this is the case, shouldn't I just be able to somehow view these hidden files and remove them?
This seems like a very fixable software issue and I wonder why SanDisk wasn't more interested in resolving this apparent incompatibility with android. What is weird is that it worked fine with my initial one-album test run.
Additional info: the microsd card continues to work fine when attached to the tablet.
In case it makes any difference, I have never added anything to the clipzip's own internal storage of 8gb.
The clipzip continues to work fine with an identical SanDisk 32gb microsd card that I also filled up with music from my old Mac but never attached to my tablet
If anyone has any ideas or fixes or helpful thoughts they would be much appreciated
|[Remove Advertisement]
What formats are the music files in? It sounds like any combination of five possible things is happening-there are file formats the Clip Zip firmware doesn't support, there are index files from the mac on the card, the tags are not in a format that the firmware supports, you exceeded the song limit that the player supports, or you have protected files that need to be transferred in MTP mode using a Media player(ie Windows Media Player) to transfer the licenses. If you install Rockbox on the player it will solve many problems with incompatible formats and incompatible tags, and has a much larger database capability. Rockbox is a free alternative operating system for the player(Rockbox.org). I don't recommend installing Rockbox though if you have any protected files though, as Rockbox doesn't support protected files, and just installing Rockbox on a player might prevent it from playing protected files even when you boot the player into the original firmware. I have Rockbox on my Clip Zip and it is great. It gives the player many more capabilities and settings, and allows for many more songs. The original firmware has a song limit of around 8,000, however it might be much less than this if you have embedded album art or long tag names, etc. Some have reached the limit under 5,000 songs. The limit is actually the size of the file database.
The only solution I see is using 2 different cards. If you have more files on the tablet (or tablet card) that you want to transfer to the player's card, I suggest using a computer to transfer the files to from the tablet card, then connecting the player (& card) to that computer for final transfer.
Thanks for the replies!
@JK98 - upon reading your response (particularly, "you exceeded the song limit that the player allows") I was inspired to try deleting some songs from the card. I connected it to my tablet, removed a few albums and viola! It appears to be working with the clipzip once again! I even restarted and it continued to work! I will report back if anything changes but this seems to have been the solution! Strange that when the problem started I hadn't added any new songs because I was given a message that the card was full, and also strange that the SanDisk help person didn't suggest this solution but instead was so quick to rule that my android tablet was simply incompatible. Anyway, thanks for the help!

- Distributed Resources Scheduler (DRS), Distributed Power Management (DPM)
- vMotion
Storage DRS
Load Balancing
VMware vSphere Storage DRS continuously balances storage space usage and storage I/O load while avoiding resource bottlenecks to meet application service levels.
- Deploy and integrate additional storage capacity into a storage pool.
- Take advantage of new capacity.
- Improve service levels for all applications.
- Increase VMware vSphere administrator productivity by allowing them to monitor and manage additional infrastructure.
Continuous Monitoring
Storage DRS monitors storage space and I/O utilization across a pre-assigned datastore pool and aligns storage resources to meet your business growth needs.
- Specify how storage resources are allocated to virtual machines with rules and policies.
- Assign dedicated storage infrastructure to business units while achieving higher storage utilization through storage volume pools.
- Empower business units to build and manage virtual machines within their storage pools while providing IT control over all storage resources.
Non-Disruptive Maintenance
When a vSphere administrator places a Storage DRS-enabled datastore cluster in Maintenance Mode, Storage DRS moves virtual machine disk files to another datastore. A datastore remains in Entering Maintenance Mode state until all virtual disks have moved to other data stores within the cluster. Storage DRS also features:
- Placement recommendations where virtual disks can be migrated
- A list of faults that displays virtual machine disk files that cannot be moved and the reasons why
Technical Details
Datastore Clusters
A datastore cluster is a collection of datastores aggregated into a single unit of management and consumption. When you create a datastore cluster, Storage DRS can manage storage resources comparable to how VMware vSphere Storage vMotion DRS manages compute resources within a cluster.
Placement Recommendations
Storage DRS makes initial placement recommendations and decisions based on space constraints and I/O load. These recommendations minimize risks associated with improper placement of virtual machine disk images and reduce I/O bottlenecks and performance impacts on virtual machines. Storage DRS selects the best placement based on lowest latency and available space.
Ongoing Balancing
When one or more datastores in a datastore cluster exceeds the user-configurable space utilization or I/O latency thresholds, Storage DRS makes balancing recommendations. In automatic mode, Storage DRS makes Storage vMotion decisions to lower I/O latency to keep all virtual machines performing optimally. In manual mode, Storage DRS makes balancing recommendations that an administrator may approve.
Storage DRS evaluates I/O load every eight hours and makes recommendations based on the results. The maximum default I/O latency is 15 milliseconds and the default space utilization threshold is 80 percent.
Affinity Rules
You may optionally define affinity and anti-affinity rules for your virtual machine disk files. By default, virtual machines disk files are stored on the same datastore. Storage DRS offers three types of affinity rules that you may apply:
- VMDK Affinity (default): Virtual disks of a virtual machine are kept together on the same datastore.
- VMDK Anti-Affinity: Virtual disks of a virtual machine with multiple virtual disks are placed on different datastores.
- VM Anti-Affinity: Two specified virtual machines, including associated disks, are placed on different datastores.
Datastore Correlation
Datastore correlation is an advanced I/O load balancing mechanism in Storage DRS that discovers when two distinct datastores are using the same set of disk spindles on an array. When this occurs, it applies affinity rules and moves virtual machine disk files to relieve I/O bottlenecks.

CLEVELAND (April 21, 2009) – The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will unveil Live from Madison Square Garden: From the Lens of George Kalinsky on Friday, May 1, in the Museum's Ahmet M. Ertegun Main Exhibit Hall. The images captured by Kalinsky's camera, including many never-before-seen portraits, represent some of the seminal moments in the history of rock music. Over the course of its history, Madison Square Garden established itself as the penultimate iconic venue, synonymous with indelible moments in entertainment, and this exhibition highlights many of the history-making performances over the last 40 years.
George Kalinsky has been the official photographer of Madison Square Garden (MSG) since 1966, and in 2001 was honored with the PMDA International Photographer of the Year award - the highest accolade given by the photography industry. His artistry is also part of permanent collections which include the Baseball Hall of Fame, the Governor's Mansion in Albany NY, the Jewish Museum of New York, and the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
Kalinsky's portfolio of photographs that will be on exhibit in Live from Madison Square Garden include:
Mick Jagger and Keith Richards
A photograph of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, taken on November 27, 1969, marks the first time ever that the Rolling Stones played at Madison Square Garden. The Stones were breaking in their new lead guitarist Mick Taylor, who had only been with the group for five months. Performances from this concert were recorded and released on the Stones' seminal live album Get Your YaYa's Out.
Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley made one historic stand at Madison Square Garden in 1972. He played four shows between June 9th and June 11th, including a matinee. It was the first time he had performed in New York City since the late 1950s. Presley's photograph was taken by Kalinsky on June 11, 1972; he was the only professional working photographer at the Garden that night.
Sly Stone's Wedding Ceremony
Sly Stone never played by the established musical rules. He combined rock and funk. His band, the Family Stone, was one of the first racially integrated groups with both women and men. His concerts were equally unpredictable; sometimes he would show up for a gig, sometimes he did not bother. On June 5th, 1974, Sly and the band played Madison Square Garden and gave the audience an extra bonus – he got married onstage by a reverend and with extended family. Kalinsky captured the ceremony from the front row.
John Lennon and Elton John
On Thanksgiving night, November 28, 1974, John Lennon made his final live performance at Madison Square Garden, sitting in with Elton John for three songs: "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night," "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "I Saw Her Standing There." Elton John had played on the recording session for "Whatever Gets You Thru the Night" and made a bet with Lennon that if the song went to #1, Lennon would appear with him in concert. Lennon accepted the wager, confident that the song would never reach #1.
Jon Bon Jovi – Concert for New York City
On October 20, 2001, just weeks after the tragic events that occurred on September 11th, a benefit concert was held at Madison Square Garden to honor those who lost their lives in the attacks and those who were working on the recovery efforts. The lineup of artists who participated included Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, the Who, Billy Joel, Elton John, Jon Bon Jovi, and David Bowie.
Live from Madison Square Garden: From the Lens of George Kalinsky will close on January 31, 2010.

A uniform rectangle sign h=20.0cm high and w=11.0cm wide loses three of its four support bolts(at points p_1, P_3, and p_4) and rotates into the position as shown, with p_1 directly over p_3. It is supported by the bolt P_2, which is so tight it holds the sign from further rotation. Find the gravitational torque about p_2, if the mass of the sign is 5.0kg.
I couldn't get my image to appear but here is what is looks like: http://www.cramster.com/answers-apr-10/physics/physics-1-uniform-rectangular-sign-16-cm-high-andw-16-cm-wide_816165.aspx?rec=0
