Have a great day,
Hi Jean! You sent me a welcome message about a year ago and I am thankful for that... because now I am trying to donate classes and can't figure out where to do it on this website. Am I missing something? I recently bought a house and have fixed up part of the house as a yoga studio and am ready to start classes. Could you please direct me as to how to get things started? Thanks!

Dear Jean,
Thank you for such a warm welcome. I am not a Yoga instructor. I am a mental health professional teaching mindfulness and skills to chronically ill patients.
I am enjoying my Cancer Survivor Classes at OM in NYC. My daughter is in Yoga teacher training at a studio in CT. I have been passing all the wonderful information to her... love the videos on the website. I have been using Kate's "Thriving Yoga "at home since early in my treatment.
Thanks, Jean ~ my name is Celtic birth given (first name) and Sufi second name ;)
I'm going to do a blog on my website as I redo it .... hmmm, different one here? It really *is* an opening experience.....the studio I go to isn't listed, is there someone to talk to about that? They're cool though, they also have work study so I'm applying for that ~ yoga feels really important in these next steps in my journey.....
I have to mention the similarities in our profile pix :D
Congratulations on your winning video! Thanks for all you do!
Om Shanti,

For a while, what I missed most in changing from a married person into a single person was the act that we were as a couple. I don't mean an act as in a piece of fakery, although toward the end it was kind of fake. I mean it in the sense of how we were when we went out in the world. We made a good couple. We were entertaining. I had a joke I'd tell about a priest and a speeding ticket—I won't tell it here, because it won't sound funny, but it was funny, and I told it well. My husband did a great riff on why Death of a Salesman wasn't a good play. Even though I think it is a great play, it was a kick to hear him carry on, like listening to someone poke fun at Mother Teresa.
We got sick of each other's routines, but that came much later. For many years, each of us thought the other was a hoot. And we complemented each other: I'd ask people about their children; he'd talk about the next election.
You spend 25 years going out into the world together, and how you are together becomes part of your identity. You're half of a matched set, like a pair of salt-and-pepper shakers. It feels safe. You always know who your Plus One is going to be. And then, suddenly, the salt (or pepper) isn't there, and it just feels weird, as if you forgot to do something important before you left the house—to put on makeup, or your coat.
For the first time, you have tender feelings for Art Garfunkel, when he found himself performing without Paul Simon. Maybe you won't be enough of an act. Maybe he was the funny one. Maybe someone will ask you about the situation in Chechnya and you will have to say, "I'm sorry, my husband was much better on former Soviet republics."
Or maybe people will worry that you have some new, awful act—that you're bitter or furious or a wreck about your newly single circumstances—and will steer clear. Maybe you'll be subtly shunned, because you make people uncomfortable.
Not since the seventh grade have you had such social anxiety. It feels bad, and humiliating, more humiliating because you can't believe you're such a wimp.
And you know what? All the worry is a waste of time. You make yourself see people, and it turns out you're enough of an act. You crack people up. They crack you up. There's more than enough for you to talk about and ask them about. You walk into rooms full of strangers, and it's scary for 10 minutes, that's it.
Yes, people do feel sorry for you at first, but the way they show it isn't to avoid you but to ask you to do things. They ask you to the movies, or out for coffee, or over for dinner. They take care of you. Sometimes this makes you feel so grateful that you shed a tear when you think about it. And then, when some time has gone by—less time than you think, I promise—
you invite them back. You have a dinner party, and then another, and the men who come help you do things without being asked: bartending, carving the leg of lamb, moving extra chairs to the table, things they think your husband may have helped you with in the past, gestures that also bring a tear to your eye. And you all have a fine time, and you think, I can do this. That feeling—that you left the house forgetting something important—evaporates.
Sometimes I think it would be nice to have a boyfriend, but that desire is about companionship and, well, desire. It's not about needing someone to make me part of a couple in the world. It feels fine being a solo act. I can even tell you a few things about Chechnya now, if you're interested.

Adam Yauch, better known to fans of the Beastie Boys as MCA, passed away on Friday, May 4, 2012, after a battle with cancer that began in 2009. He was 47.
Born on August 5, 1964, the vocalist and bassist was raised in New York City, a fertile backdrop that informed the street-smart attitude and urban swagger of the Beastie Boys. Formed as a hardcore quartet in 1981 with Yauch and Michael Diamond aka Mike D, drummer Kate Schellenbach and guitarist John Berry, this earliest incarnation of the Beastie Boys played its first gig at Yauch's 17th birthday party. This was the same lineup that recorded the group's debut eight-song EP, Polly Wog Stew, which included the hardcore manifesto "Beastie Boys." When Berry left the group, Adam Horowitz aka ADROCK was recruited and the newly formed band cut a 12-inch single for "Cooky Puss"/"Beastie Revolution." When Schellenbach left the group (later joining Luscious Jackson), the three-man posse of MCs took shape.
The Beastie Boys brashly announced themselves to the world with the full-length Licensed to Ill (1986), produced by Rick Rubin. A milestone rap-rock release, it contained a feisty statement of purpose ("The New Style") and the boisterous Gen X anthem "(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!)," a Top 10 hit. Later described by MCA as "a joke that went too far," it turned into the party-rock anthem of the Eighties. The raucous video they made for the song – intended as nothing more than "a goof," in MCA's words – became a staple of MTV, establishing the Beastie Boys as poster boys for rude, obnoxious fun. Other songs on the album – including "She's Crafty," "Paul Revere," "Girls," "No Sleep Till Brooklyn" and "Brass Monkey" – reinforced the notion of the Beastie Boys as a threesome obsessed with girls, rhymes and good times. Rubin's hook-minded production, and galvanizing bursts of guitars and drums gave the album a forceful sound. It was a rap album that rock fans could get into.
The group exploded any notions of one-dimensionality with its ambitious followup, Paul's Boutique (1989). After Licensed to Ill's stratospheric success, the Beastie Boys now found themselves working with a different set of producer/collaborators (the Dust Brothers). Although it didn't sell as well as its predecessor, Paul's Boutique was a dizzyingly brilliant, sample-heavy collage that has been called "the Pet Sounds and Dark Side of the Moon of hip-hop." It was a critically revered masterpiece.
The Beastie Boys released three albums in the Nineties – Check Your Head (1992), Ill Communication (1994) and Hello Nasty (1998) – along with a smattering of EPs. With these releases, the Beastie Boys – who are competent instrumentalists - developed a self-contained style of writing and recording that involved collective jamming, individual composing, sampling, revising and assembling.
Although they came intermittently, the Beastie Boys' albums were packed with music. Check Your Head, Ill Communication and Hello Nasty each contain 20 or more tracks. Beginning with Check Your Head, the Beastie Boys – having relocated to Los Angeles – worked at their own G-Son studio, which gave them the latitude to jam and experiment at their leisure. They also launched their own imprint, the Capitol-distributed Grand Royal label.
For To the 5 Boroughs (2004), they returned to their New York City roots, recording at their own studio in downtown Manhattan. Working under the pseudonym Nathanial Hornblower, Yauch directed many of the Beastie Boys most memorable music videos, such as the one for "Intergalactic" (from 1998's Hello Nasty), an uproarious homage to classic Japanese monster movies. Yauch also directed the Beastie Boys' 2006 concert film, Awesome; I Fuckin' Shot That!
In 2011, 25 years after the release of Licensed to Ill, the trio released Hot Sauce Committee Part Two, their eighth full-length album. The group that virtually invented rap-rock had maintained its relevance with cool grooves and razor-sharp rhymes with each release.
They Beastie Boys were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame at the 2012 Induction Ceremony in Cleveland on April 14, 2012. Chuck D. and LL Cool J inducted the seminal group, and though Yauch was unable to attend the ceremony owing to his health, Michael Diamond and Adam Horowitz accepted for the group and read a speech written by Yauch. Kid Rock, Black Thought and Travie McCoy of Gym Class Heroes were joined by the Roots to perform a medley of Beastie Boys classics, including "Sabotage," "So What'Cha Want," "No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn" and "The New Style."
Upon news of Yauch's death, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine/Audioslave/The Nightwatchman wrote on Twitter: "RIP dear Adam Yauch. Words can't express the sadness and loss. Ur humor, talent & gentle soul are just irreplacable. Be at peace brother." Sean Ono Lennon wrote: "Adam Yauch Rest In Peace. I'll miss you very, very much;" while Justin Timberlake commented: "Crushed to hear the news of Adam Yauch's passing. A true pioneer of art."
Please share your memories of Adam Yauch and the Beastie Boys in the comments section below.

Mitt Romney's presidential campaign has settled upon an unusual—but not completely unfamiliar—strategy for deflecting media scrutiny of his membership in the Mormon Church.
Some clever campaign worker suggested: substitute the word "Jew" for "Mormon" in that news story.
Reporters at The New York Times and The Washington Post both picked up on the spin last week. On the coasts, linking bias against Mormons to bias against Jews is a mind-blowing novelty.
But in Utah, it's a fetish, where comparisons between the faith of Joseph Smith and the faith of Abraham are universal. It's a measure of the Mormon faithful's affinity for all things Old Testament that they keep baptizing Jews after they die to add them to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' flock. And Sunday schools everywhere are filled with juxtapositions of persecution tales—Jewish and Mormon. It's no accident that the LDS call those not of their faith "Gentiles." So do the Jews. And Mormons challenge Evangelical Christians for status as the most hawkishly pro-Israel in their politics.
The Romney camp's verbal flip is masterful—and not off-point. Journalists would never inject "Jew" or "Catholic" before the clauses they connect to the former Massachusetts governor. Just one example from Romney Spokeswoman Andrea Saul, protesting a Washington Post literary reduction: Imagine writing that Romney "was far from the only young and brilliant Jew on Harvard's campus."
While a light bulb seems to have gone off at the papers of record, for those in Romney's religious fold, the Republican presidential nominee is just returning to their tradition.

Lupe Fiasco - "The Show Goes On"
Latest News
Lupe Fiasco - "The Show Goes On"Posted byOctober 26, 2010Filed under:103
Great uplifting track right here, if you take it for anything else you are just crazy. Stop saying that this is "mainstream", if anything this is a song to his real fans that stuck by him over the years and most importantly the things that he went through recently with Atlantic. Keep your mind on the positive, FnF UP
I never said Lu sold out or that he changed what he talked about... Actually, the ones that went at me said it first...
Ok, now I'm getting attacked on here for an opinion. 1st of all, Did I say the lyrics were bad? No. Did I say I hated the beat? No. I only said that Lupe can do better than this. I know what the song is saying. I did listen to it before I commented. Twice even. I never said he sold out. People just want to be quick to tell somebody off when they don't know what they're talking about. Lupe Fiasco is not mainstream. That's why you never hear him on the radio. Mainstream rap is mostly Gucci, Flock, Fabolous, OJ, Luda, Wayne, etc. And pretty much all of them suck. And the reason why people used to play Tupac, Biggie, and all of those people back in the day is because they didn't the higher ups didn't realize how powerful and intelligent hip hop was back then. That's why most hip-hop now is trash. Aka "mainstream" hip-hop. Yes, there are some artists still out there (B.o.B, Eminem, etc.); but there are very few. But back to the song. The reason why I said I wasn't impressed was because he didn't make me think in this song. The reason why Lupe became my favorite rapper is because in every song he made prior to this, he made me think. He showed me his gift for metaphors and wordplay. In this song, he didn't do that. That's why I'm disappointed. I most certainly will skip this song every time I hear it after I buy the album. Even 'Enemy of the State', a mixtape, had me deciphering lyrics for months. And he was talking about the same stuff he was talking about on this song. There was just more artistry involved with his prior work, in my opinion. And, um, HANDS13, I am a true fan. It's because I'm a true fan that I could Lupe dead in the eye and tell him that I didn't like this song and that he could do better. A true fan knows his favorite artist's potential and has the balls to say when he isn't meeting my expectations. So, no. I don't care if you agree or not, But don't assume that I'm stupid just because I dont' feel the same way you do.
I believe what HANDS13 means to say is that we should appreciate the good rappers in the mainstream like Lupe Fiasco and B.o.B which he mentioned. Although it is filled with untalented artists, there still are good rappers out there that are mainstream but still bringing us the lyrical adept music, which all who respect real hip-hop know and love. If you believe that every single mainstream artist is mediocre, you will miss out on the few versatile artists out there.
All you kids living in the ghetto, keep pushing and pursuit your own happiness, skys the limit. The show must go on!
@HANDS13 If Lupe was mainstream... would Atlanta hold back the record? If the record was finished in the summer why was a bruno mars song and video legitimately released before Lazers? The only time i heard Lupe on the radio was when Superstar was released then that stopped in a week... CALL THAT mainstream... atleast it brought me here
Great use of a Modest Mouse sample, "Float On" The chorus to the Mouse song goes, "Alright already, we all float on" Initially I wasn't sure how I felt about Lupe piggy-backing so closely on Modest Mouse's song, but I've come to realize it's even cooler because of it. I wish he'd give them some credit, but all things considered, it's an awesome song. Cool messages, cool beat, I respect it. LASERS
@HANDS13 We are idiots for hating mainstream? You are telling me that I should like listening to songs about drugs, sex, and money? Lupe avoids these society obsessed ideas and you go ahead essentially insulting him by putting him on the same level as Lil wayne, ludacris, and other ridiculous rappers.
And for those who keep saying its mainstream, its not, etc. Stop over thinking it. If you like it, mainstream or not, you like it, and vice versa.
Fuck iTunes, support the artist more directly by buying it off his site. Great track, just bought it and will gift it.
Dude you guys are idiots how could you hate the mainstream, it's literally got the best songs, b.o.b and loupe fiasco are the mainstream kings, true their stuff should be bigger with all the heart and soul put into em but their albums still drop, they still sell, they still are fricken amazing. So why y'all hatinn? Y'all disgust me "I hate main stream this is bull complain complain complain" you ain't a true loupe fan your a jack*** that's what you are. So "question" or whatever your name is you need to stf up dude you don't even know what you're saying
If anyone says this is mainstream should kill themselves like seriously...even if the beat has high pitched tones like any other song...its still a different beat...and foremost...The lyrics...there is nothng mainstream about it....POINT BLANK PERIOD! FNF UP...ALWAYS
YALL COMPLAIN THAT YALL WANT TO HEAR LUPE ON THE RADIO AND GET RADIO PLAY....HE GIVE YALL WHAT YALL WANT AND SOME OF YOU UNGRATEFUL B*STARDS STILL COMPLAIN, SINCE WHEN HAS BEING "MAINSTREAM" BEEN BAD??....ITS ALL ABOUT THE CONTENT OF THE LLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCSSSSSSSS AND LUPES LYRICS IN THIS SONG ARE ON POINT, HE STILL STAYED TRUE TO HIS FANS AND HIMSELF....just because he has a "banger" beat doesnt make lupe a sell-out or any of that..did you hear him once talk about money, cars, clothes, hoes, clubbing, a** poppin', p-poppin in this song?...NO so whats the problem?.. SO For all the non-beleivers about lupe being a sell out plz REALLY listen to the lyrics b4 making judgment : 1st verse: Is talkin about being treated like a slave, making him and making him do what they want him to do (record company, illuminati) BUT he refuses and stays true to himself and his fans. 2nd verse:Talkin? about how he reps for all the kids, unfortunate kids, and teachers tellin their kids to experience the world , NOT to have a gun or b a dope boy 3rd verse: Survive and persevere through any struggle. nas had mainstream songs, tupac, biggie, jay-z...so wtf? bottom line is its a great song, its uplifting and he didnt sell out....he's still the lupe we know and he's still against the bulls**t indusrty, and he clearly shows that in this song..so stfu, enjoy and support it :)
Wow! This song is really good. It's a feel good kind of song. Try and be mad while listening to it, you can't! Haha. But on the real this song is Lupe with Atlantic breathing down his neck. Don't get me wrong this song is amazing and Lupe kills it and i'm sure he loves this track, but it's pretty clear to see Atlantic wanted him to have a popular hit single or they weren't going to release this album. Either way this song is still dope and i'm really excited for March.
You guys are being ridiculous, are you even listening to the lyrics? Lupe comes through with fluid, meaningful lyrics as usual. Who cares that it has a catchy hook? Bring this to mainstream and change the face of hip hop forever Lupe. Don't let anyone get you down. These "fans" say you're real hip hop but don't want you to spread farther than their expectations for you. You are hip hop and it's about time the rest of the world knew.
I kinda think disliking "mainstream" is MAINSTREAM. But, that so call need to rebel against so call popular music of the day has been going on for decades. I dont listen to the radio, not because of the songs played but for the replaying of the same 10 songs all day. Anyway, I like the song. Funny for those to say its not Lupe, sounds like ya'll waiting for the past to resurface. The world is ending after one song. Lyrics fit. The sound of the song fit but isnt a sound that brings Lupe in your mind first when you hear it. Though seems part of what Lasers was aiming to be, 2nd and 3rd verse that is. First verse is basically the feelings of how he felt during the struggle to finally get the album released and why he wont going to let it stop him. In other words, title speaks for itself. If on the album, seems more like a song to place towards the end. Next to the last song. I've been waiting for the next Lupe album. No matter if it was LupEND, or Lasers because Lu gives you everything that an artist should give. It's why i'm a fan. Let the countdown begin to the release date.
I think all the hipsters here need to calm down - just because it is considered mainstream doesn't make it a bad song. Personally, I don't like this song very much, but the beat is nice. I'm slightly disappointed that they copped the chorus from "Float On" by Modest Mouse though - I hate that song.
I really like this song. Yes, it is very mainstream compared to most of Lu's releases and it does not have the lyricism lupe is known for with double, triple, and even wuadruple entendres. BUT, it is a very uplifting song with a positive message. I think its diope and I'm excited for lasers. This is just one song, if you want the "classic" lupe I'm sure there will be plenty on the album. SUPPORT GOOD, POSITIVE HIP HOP
I think people are blinded by their hatred for anything "mainstream" and can't differentiate artists. Lupe sounds great and I actually like the uplifting beat and overall tone of the song. And no, I don't like most of the mainstream stuff on the radio now.
Question, I feel what you mean. But the only way LASERS was ever going to come out was with a hit single. Even with the trendy chorus, the beat still comes from a great indie rock song, and the lyrics are still Lupe lyrics. I will be disappointed if the entire album sounds like this, but based on what Lupe has said, I'm pretty sure this single to advertise his album will be the only one of it's kind on LASERS. And just another note: "Substance in the place of popularity." Kind of funny how that works, he's forced to make a song that should be popular, but it still contains substance.

Thanks to the folks on this board I have some news on the Flatty project. Cotton: Thanks for the heads up on the intake leak test. And thanks for the words of encouragement about the intake nipple. Both Cyls are off. Found two ex valves in one cyl so I took it to a friend who loves flatheads. I will get new nipples, rings and if the HD valves can be saved a valve grind. If not there are a new set ready to install. One of the heads shows a poor seal in one area so they will get checked for flat and the cyls will too. I got an education in the lifter and valve adjust covers and got to learn some new and old stuff over again. The "permatex" shit on the cases will be the next issue and the pistons are OK. Is it normal for the ex valve to sit lower in the seat than the intake? Is this due to more wear and tear here? Next is the bent kicker and I found that you have to fit it to the bushing. Easy but not a bolt in. Has any one put the bottom stop/mount for the pogo stick back in an old frame? I think a heavy washer the correct size could be centered and welded. Good idea or bad? Will let you know what the machineist says later this week I hope. Again thanks to all who helped and those who make this a good place. Ride it like ya stole it.

Theme II, Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development
Ombudspersons for Future Generations:
Tackling Sustainability Implementation Gaps
October 2011
In 1992 world leaders and civil society met in Rio de Janeiro, concerned and keen to address how human development and environmental protection continues in a harmonious way. They acknowledged that planet Earth is not only a resource, but the home for a wealth of biodiversity, ecosystems and natural cycles, upon which our security and wellbeing depend. They saw that the policies we had in place risked destroying the means for providing healthy and fulfilling lives for future generations:
?We borrow environmental capital from future generations with no intention or prospect of repaying... We act as we do because we can get away with it: future generations do not vote; they have no political or financial power; they cannot challenge our decisions.? World Commission Sustainable Development Report Our Common Future, 1987 A farsighted declaration with principles and recommendations for sustainable development and intergenerational equity was formulated for all countries of the world. Twenty years on and despite numerous international processes and agreements, unsustainable trends continue at an alarming rate and scale. The multiple crises in food, fuel, ecosystem destruction and economic instability are the visible symptoms, rapidly closing down the preconditions for fulfilling lives in the future, even for those economically wealthy today, let alone the marginalised and impoverished.
The future generations that the Brundtland Commission was concerned about are now 23 years old. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) speaks of them as a ?lost generation? because of record numbers in youth unemployment (13% globally). Even in the most developed countries, child poverty has reached 30% (UK), and over 25% of children in the US lived off food stamps in 2010, double the percentage of adults. Most countries face rapidly increasing wealth inequality in their societies (the Gini coefficient in China has moved from 0.3 to 0.5). In some cases we have reached the highest inequality levels on record (US). In a world of 60 trillion USD of global GDP, around 1 billion people live in chronic hunger. Meanwhile, the planetary boundaries within which humanity can safely operate have been reached or overshot ? with a clear rising tendency.
Our existing institutional and governance structures have proved inadequate to meet our rising sustainable development challenges. Our core policy formulation, economic thinking and motivations remain consistently detached from our broader sustainability concerns. Monitoring and enforcement of agreed sustainable development strategies at all governance levels are weak and many central sectors and policies operate entirely without a broader sustainability overview. Since electoral cycles and business models of reporting increasingly define decision-making, short term gains take precedence over future and long term interests. Meanwhile, citizens and civil society appear disconnected from the core of policy-making. Without full representation of their needs, citizens are left without an adequate voice, or a legitimate means by which to question or present their concerns. We lack adequate mechanisms to facilitate accountability, access and monitoring of all sustainability policy decisions and their effective implementation.
Considerable evidence demonstrates that as long as sustainable development remains separated from core policy formulation and economic thinking, and as long as gaps in implementation are not secured, sustainability challenges will not be met.
?Relevant lessons for sustainable development include recommendations to build on existing institutions; promote collaboration, coherence, efficiency and effectiveness in partnerships; and ensure meaningful and equitable public access to international forums related to sustainable development by adapting and structuring their processes and mechanisms in a way that they promote transparency and facilitate the participation of those groups that might not have the means for participation without encouragement and support.? Synthesis Report, UN Secretary General, 2011
?....governance accountability can be strengthened when stakeholders gain better access to Information and decision-making, for example through special rights enshrined in agreements, charters and codes, and stronger participation in councils that govern resources, or in commissions that hear complaints. International environmental, developmental and economic institutions must adopt such novel accountability mechanisms more widely.? The Earth System Governance Project Policy Brief, Sept 2011 Proposal Recalling the two themes of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development: a Green Economy in the Context of Sustainable Development and Poverty Eradication and the Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development:
We call for the establishment of Ombudspersons for Future Generations at national and international levels as a concrete proposal for the conference, under the Institutional Framework for Sustainable
Development (IFSD) theme.
This institution is designed to safeguard economic, environmental and social conditions for the benefit of current and future generations by undertaking their institutional representation in all areas of policymaking. The institution provides the necessary checks and balances to help overcome the structural short-term orientation of our democratic institutions and brings the sustainable development agenda to the heart of governments and policy-making. The Ombudsperson (which could take the shape of a Parliamentary Commissioner, Guardian or Auditor depending how it fits best into each nation?s governance structure) facilitates coherence between the separate pillars of government, to overcome single issue thinking, and holds government departments and private actors accountable if they do not deliver on sustainable development goals.

I purchased this dress at Blush Bridal in Haymarket, Virginia. I was a little nervous about getting a form fitting dress because I do have hips, however once i put this dress on, the crowd who was with me told me it was the one and I soon agreed.
- Alterations: I had the dress taken in a bit at the top (I am size D chest) and had the dress taken up to fall correctly with my shoes (I am 5'8" and wore 3 inch wedge heels). I also had a bustle put in. There is a belt in the pictures, however I am not selling a belt with the dress.
- Preservation Method: I had the dress professionally cleaned at a dry cleaner ($150) to remove any of the dirt that was on the bottom.
- Terms of Sale: All Sales Final
- Original Owner: Yes
- Has Original Receipt: Yes
- Location: Clifton, VA
- Will Ship to: Anywhere at Buyer Expense

ZF-2546: Zend_Db_Table_Select should include its own table in the FROM section
Zend_Db_Table_Select should include its own table name in the FROM section, as it's its goal :) Actually it does not add the actual table to the from clause.
actual code :
public function setTable(Zend_Db_Table_Abstract $table)
$this->_adapter = $table->getAdapter();
$this->_info = $table->info();
return $this;
patch could be :
public function setTable(Zend_Db_Table_Abstract $table)
$this->_adapter = $table->getAdapter();
$this->_info = $table->info();
return $this;
Patch attached
Hi Julien
I removed it specifically from there as I wanted the ability for the 'FROM' to be applied either by the developer during query creation, or 'just-in-time' before the query is executed. This is handy, as it means that the select object doesn't need to be tied down with a one-to-one relationship with the parent table.
Although this bug is marked as resolved, it actually is the cause of a number of other bugs listed with Zend_Db_Table_Select.
For me, the expected usage is:
// Bugs
$bugs = new Bugs();
$bugs->select()->where('something = ?',$id);
// I want to manipulate the table data - that's why I use the class !
$bugs->getAdapter()->select()->from('Other_Table')->where('whatever = 1');
// I don't wnat the "bugs" included? I'll use the adapter's method
The present situation is confusing. I create the class because I want to save time and typing when manipulating THIS BUG TABLE, not because I want it to perform various DB tasks with it !
Agree with Tomas. Using Zend_Db_Table_Select implies you are wanting to select from the given table. If you don't want that, then you should be using Zend_Db_Select instead.
Simon, can you give a reasonable use case where you'd use Zend_Db_Table_Select instead of Zend_Db_Select to select from a table other than the table from which the select came from? This is especially frustrating as the current implementation flips the order of the from and join
$bugs = new Bugs();
$bugs->select()->join('Table2', 'Bugs.id = Table2.bug_id')->where('whatever = 1');
SELECT `Bugs`.*
FROM `Table2`
INNER JOIN `Bugs`
WHERE whatever = 1
To fix it you have to specify a from clause explicitly.
Would be good if this issue were reopened and fixed.
It does, except that you have to explicitly choose it ($table->select(true)), which makes the API look strange.
And you have to do that if you want joins to work :
$table->select()->setIntegrityCheck(false)->join('other_table', "$this->_name.mycol = other_table.itscol", "some-col");
won't work and will complain about "columns mycol not in $this->_name table".
True, but its not something we can change pre 2.0. Also, to make it more readable, one might consider using:
I'd suggest adding these notes to the Zend_Db 2.0 pages in ZFDEV wiki
true and right ;-)

I vaguely remember there is a notion of numbers rich in divisors, i.e. (number of divisors of N)/N is comparatively large. What's their name? Given a number M, how could I find such a number in its neighbourhood?

How to find such things? I suppose you could just multiply small numbers together until you are within the "neighbourhood". If you overshoot, take out some factors and replace them with other factors.

About Dionne Warwick
Dionne Warwick's career has spanned more than 48 years, establishing her as an international music legend. She has earned more than sixty charted hits and sold over 100 million records. She began singing professionally in 1961 after being discovered by a young songwriting team, Burt Bacharach and Hal David. She had her first hit in 1962 with "Don't Make Me Over." By 1970, she had racked up more than 18 consecutive Top 100 singles, including her classic Bacharach/David recordings, "Walk on By," "Anyone Who Had a Heart," "Message to Michael," "Promises, Promises," "A House is Not a Home," "Alfie," and the theme from "The Valley of the Dolls."
Ms. Warwick received her first Grammy Award in 1968 for her classic "Do You Know the Way to San Jose?" and a second Grammy Award in 1970 for the best-selling album, "I'll Never Fall in Love Again." In 1974, she hit the top of the charts with "Then Came You," a million-selling duet with The Spinners. In 1976, Arista Records label-mate Barry Manilow produced her first Platinum-selling album, "Dionne," which included the back-to-back hits "I'll Never Love This Way Again," and "Déjà vu." Both recordings earned Grammy Awards, making Ms. Warwick the first female artist to win the Best Female Pop and Best Female R&B Performance awards.
Ms. Warwick's 1982 album, "Heartbreaker," co-produced by Barry Gibb and the Bee Gees, became an international chart-topper. In 1985, she reunited with producer Burt Bacharach and longtime friends Gladys Knight, Steve Wonder and Elton John to record the landmark song "That's What Friends Are For," which became a number one hit record around the world and the first recording dedicated to raising awareness and major funds for the AIDS cause, which Ms. Warwick continually supports.
Throughout the 80's and 90's, Ms. Warwick collaborated with many of her musical peers, including Johnny Mathis, Smokey Robinson, Luther Vandross, Jeffrey Osborne, Kashif and Stevie Wonder. Most recently, she recorded an album of duets, "My Friends and Me," (Concord Records) and a much anticipated Gospel album, "Why We Sing," (Rhino Records). She is currently finishing a new album of the music of legendary composer Sammy Cahn. Most recently, Ms. Warwick added "author" to her list of credits with a best-selling children's book, "Say A Little Prayer."
Always one to give back, Ms. Warwick has supported and campaigned for a number of causes and charities near to her heart, including AIDS, The Starlight Foundation, children's hospitals, world hunger, disaster relief and music education, for which she has raised millions of dollars. A New Jersey school was named in her honor, The Dionne Warwick Institute in recognition of her support and accomplishments.
16th Annual Rock and Soul Festival Lineup
Marilyn Oliver, an Akron native, has music in her blood: she's the great niece of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Muddy Waters. She began singing blues music at a young age, learned to play the piano and inspired her father to form a family band. The Relatively Jammin' Blues Band has opened up for Aretha Franklin, Ringo Starr and the Dazz band to name a few. She has since been dubbed "Akron's Own Queen of the Blues."
Amy Jo Scott is the daughter of a church pastor and was inspired at a young age to sing as a way to worship. She has three independent albums, writes her own songs and varies her style depending on the musicians she's collaborated with over the years. Ms. Scott has a powerful vocal range but is not afraid to showcase her softer style of singing.
Cassandra Stewart was born and raised in Cleveland Ohio. Singing since she was three, she comes from a long line of singers going back several generations. Cassandra has released three singles, the latest titled "Come Alive" which sends a powerful message about overcoming adversity. She is set to release her sophomore album "Arise" later this year.
The group Inspire *1* One is comprised of a group of Cleveland School of the Arts students led by Malcolm Hyneman. Hyneman has performed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum with the Antioch Spiritual Arts Choir as a drummer and also for the Rock Your World concert with Cleveland School of the Arts band prior to graduating this year. He sang bass in Gustav Mahler's Resurrection symphony at Severance Hall. He is a multi-instrumentalist who performs on keyboard, piano, drums, tenor sax and is also an accomplished vocalist. He plans to attend Tri-C for two years before transferring to Berkley.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum has FREE educational offerings year round. Additional adult education programs include From Songwriters to Soundmen: The People Behind the Hits, which gives audiences an inside look at aspects of the music business that are often concealed from view, and Rock and Roll Night School, which gives interested adults the opportunity to expand their rock and roll-related knowledge.

Gardening Articles: Care :: Plant Care Techniques
Pear Care
by National Gardening Association Editors
Pears need soil with moderate fertility. Frosts during the bud and blossom period can damage the flowers and reduce yields significantly. Try to locate pears on a slope for better air drainage, or on the north side of a building to retard flowering. Space standard trees 20 to 25 feet apart, dwarf trees 12 to 15 feet apart.
Fertilizing Pears
Keep young trees weed-free, and water well during dry spells to help the roots get established quickly. Fertilize lightly in early spring of the second and succeeding years about 2 weeks before bloom. In moderately fertile soils, use ammonium nitrate at 1/8 pound or its equivalent per tree, multiplied by the number of years the tree has been set. Use less if you have highly fertile soil. If shoot growth on the tree is more than 12 inches in a season, use less fertilizer the following spring. If the leaves are pale green or yellowish in midsummer, add slightly more fertilizer the next year. Be careful applying fertilizer around your pear trees. Too much nitrogen promotes succulent growth, which allows fire blight disease bacteria to enter the tree's tender young shoots more easily.
Also, pears require several months to harden off in the fall. High nitrogen levels after mid-summer delay this hardening-off process. If your pear tree is located in a lawn area, cut back on turf fertilizer applications when you feed your lawn so as not to give your trees too much nitrogen.
Pear Pruning
Dwarf pears are often trained to a central leader. Semi-dwarf and standard-size trees also yield best when trained to a central leader, but they are usually trained to a modified leader because that form is easier to maintain with a larger tree. In an area prone to fire blight, you can prune your tree to multiple leaders. That way an infected leader can be removed while the others keep growing.
Pears are trickier to prune well than apples because all their branches grow nearly straight up. This growth habit promotes weak branches and dense foliage around the center of the tree, which encourages fire blight, fungus diseases, and pear psylla. Once you get the knack of pruning, the results will be worth the trouble. Prune regularly, though generally very lightly. Spreaders will help direct the tree's scaffold branches to a more outward, horizontal direction, and will encourage early development of fruiting spurs. Fortunately, pears are easier to train than most trees. Start in early summer of the first year. Toothpicks or clothespins can be used when branches are small; later, use wooden slats with the ends notched in a "V" to hold them in place. Sharp ends of spreaders can poke into the trunk and branch slightly, but won't hurt the tree. (An alternative practiced by some growers in the West is to hold branches down with a string tied to a clip in the ground). Pears bear their fruit mainly from terminal buds on short branches or spurs. Mature trees need only light pruning during the dormant season, mostly to thin out unfruitful, diseased, or crowded branches.
Avoid heading back cuts during dormant pruning since this will result in new, long, unfruitful shoots. If you have a variety that bears at an early age, such as 'Bosc' or 'Bartlett', remove fruit developing on the ends of thin fragile branches to keep the limbs from breaking.
