Valentino Morales (The Fast and the Furious) and Gonzalo Menendez (The Island). Hit the jump to watch the trailer. Thanks to Jeff Sneider at Variety for the heads up. »

I have a PHP array, set up using
$this->cart = array();
Which is all ind and dandy except the array will not, no matter what i do, take new values, but only replaces the existing values with the new ones.
I've tried array_merge, array_push and others and the same thing happens but this is the code that should work.
The first time that is used, it say there's one item in the array "Array ( [0] => 1 " The second time it's used it will show this, replacing the first value "Array ( [0] => 2 ) "
Adding values are triggered by a form with pulling the ID and putting it into the array as the value
echo '<input type="hidden" name="addeditem" value="2">';
But no matter what code, it will not append the array, only replace it, any ideas. I have tried adding a key and value, as well as creating a second array and merging it in and nothing works.
The function to add to cart is this
function addToCart($input){

Teddy Ndaro wants to be first native Kenyan to sail in the Olympics
by Robert Deaves on 17 May 2014
Teddy Ndaro ISAF media
Like many a sailor around the world, Teddy Ndaro (KEN) has a dream - to represent his country in the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
He is not unique in that, but in doing so he would become the first-ever native Kenyan to sail in the Olympic Games. He knows it is going to be an uphill struggle, not only to be competition ready, but also to manage the logistical and financial burdens that come with such a challenge.
Strangely, sailing is not a large participation sport in Kenya, despite the excellent sailing conditions along its coasts and on its many lakes. Teddy explains, 'It is a very difficult to participate in sailing in Kenya because there is not much support for the sport or its participants. So far, all my sailing has been self-funded.
'The sport of sailing is also suffering here because participation numbers go down every year. Since it is mainly a white dominated sport, many of them of the older generation, it means the numbers are low and reducing. A few natives like myself are trying it out but there are still not many because of lack of equipment. Most equipment is privately owned, and it is very expensive to own a boat, and to participate in the events, making the locals less likely to take part.'
Now 28 years old, Teddy was introduced to sailing by his older brother, Samuel, 12 years ago. Teddy got hooked on the sport and has developed into one of the Kenya's best sailors. Last year he launched his campaign for the Olympics, 'Teddy for Rio 2016'.
He currently sails a Laser out of Mombasa Yacht Club, one of the largest yacht clubs in Kenya and while his trophy haul there is impressive, his dream is much bigger. He explained the appeal that sailing brings. 'It's the ability to interact with the forces of nature that gives me the thrill and attracts me to sailing. Propelling the boat using wind and currents in the water, plus the physical aspect of the sport is exciting yet challenging. Racing then lets me use all the knowledge gained over the last 12 years to compete at the very top level. I am very competitive so I am always pushing myself to do better, so the racing part is also interesting for me.'
In March 2014, Teddy represented Kenya at the ISAF Development Symposium in Cape Town, South Africa and took a lot of encouragement from the experience. His club is also trying to help him achieve his dream with the commodore, Chris Soper, even donating his newer boat to help Teddy train and race at the club.
As well as being a qualified Royal Yachting Association Dinghy Instructor, gained after a time spent in the UK from 2008 to 2010, Teddy owns a tour company called Costo Tours and Adventure Activities, which specialises in safaris and day trips along the coast. Unfortunately Teddy is otherwise lacking in home grown financial support.
'Although there is moral support, a lot still is needed financially. Mombasa Yacht Club has supported me financially before in 2012 but since then they have been busy with club development projects so cash has not been easy to spare. The Kenya Yachting Association (KYA) has been helping me with writing me letters to support my application for visas, but I think more could come from the clubs and the KYA on supporting their athletes but hopefully good things will happen in the future.
'Sadly, with not much funds to spare, I have no budget to do any European events, which is a shame. There are a few local events that I plan to go to and these shall be key in my preparations. My cry for sponsorship and support from the sporting authorities has not been heard yet but I am still fighting on. I have come too far to give up now.'
Also, though grants are available from the International Olympic Committee (IOC), Teddy is not eligible. 'I am not eligible because they have to be made through the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOC-K). KYA is not registered as a national sport yet by the Kenya National Sports Council and so sailors are not recognised by different sports national authorities and so we miss out on these. This is because the NOC-K will only endorse applications by registered Federations.'
No stranger to top-level competition, Teddy has already represented Kenya in the All African Games in Maputo, Mozambique in 2011. 'After participating in Maputo, I met Allan Julie, a sailing legend from Seychelles, who inspired me as it showed that in Africa we can also work hard and compete at the top level. It was possible then and the proof of that was right in front of my eyes and so the building blocks for the 'Teddy for Rio 2016' campaign were laid there and then, in Mozambique.'
He also travelled to Poland in 2013 to train and race against the best Polish sailors. 'I was training with top Polish coach, Robert Siluk, and he taught me tactics, sail setting, hiking techniques and downwind technique, which I am still trying to improve. I also saw the amount of work and effort sailors had to put into performance sailing. Training very hard every single day in the cold Baltic sea was a tough challenge and even though it was difficult, I loved every single minute I was there.'
'Teddy for Rio 2016' is a bold plan. To sail in the Olympic Games in Rio, Teddy must first qualify Kenya for a place on the starting line. There are several chances to do that, the first being at the ISAF Sailing World Championship, in Santander, Spain in September 2014.
However his first challenge is to actually get a boat and himself to Santander. 'To get to Santander I need to first of all get help with funds, so I am looking for sponsors. So far, I have been getting friends in the sailing community who have been offering me air miles to cover my air travels. Apart from that, I have not made any progress with sponsorship, as companies in Kenya are not responding to my applications.
'For Spain, I am looking at two possibilities. One is to charter a boat, which is going to be expensive, as I do not have any money to pay for that. The other option is to ask my Polish friends to bring one for me if they will be trailing their own boats to Spain. Hopefully that will be a cheaper option.
'To qualify for the Olympics, I need to go professional and sail full time. This means training hard and hiring professional coaching and medical services as well as competing at the highest level to gain experience and to know what it takes to perform at that level.'
While sailing suffers from lack of numbers in Kenya, Teddy believes that it can be a growth sport providing basic administrative infrastructure is put in place. 'ISAF has started training and education people on training methods and structures on how to manage the sport. Apart from that, they are awarding scholarships for athletes from emerging nations who aspire to perform at top-level events such as the world championships and Olympic Games to get training and coaching. Lots of support also needs to come from the government through the ministry of sports through funding and educating people that there are other sports out there for people to enjoy apart from the usual stuff. Making the sports accessible to everyone will also help promote it in the country.
'Kenyans, and Africans in general, I think see sailing as either a rich man's sport or a whites only sport. It may be also because of lack of facilities and equipment for training and racing. Facilities can be a problem as a lot of the clubs are still members' only clubs so not allowing the majority of the people to come and try out and experience the sport. If the clubs and centres would open their doors more to people, then I believe the participation would increase and the sport would grow tremendously. Fear of the water could be another thing because a lot of people don't know how to swim so they are afraid to try and learn how to sail. Last but not least, funding to develop the sport and allow athletes to get proper training and racing experience abroad where all the action is also limits the athletes and sailors to the low levels that are present in the country.
'I was brought up in a modest middle class family and we had our fair share of ups and downs. When the opportunity presented itself, I took it and ran with it. The catchword here is opportunity. I think if Kenyans get presented with the opportunity to participate in the sport then we shall be a force to be reckoned with. We can be a great sailing nation. I think I am proof of this theory.'
To get competition ready by September Teddy is trying to put as much time as he can on the water to improve his boat handling techniques, while out of the water, maintaining a healthy diet and getting in some physical exercise to condition his body for the beating it takes while racing in competitions, are priorities.
Apart from a British settler representing Kenya in 1964 in the Finn class, no Kenyan has sailed in the Olympics. 'As for the natives or citizens, there has been no one who has ever represented Kenya in the Olympics and so my inspiration is to be the first.'
He has a look of steely determination in his eyes that convinces you he will succeed in his goal. 'It would be a dream come true for me to be able to race amongst the legends in the Olympics. It would be my greatest achievement, one that I will always cherish and remember for the rest of my life.'

Knife-wielding homeless man stabs 3 in Target store
Police say the man used a teen as a shield when two men approached him, one holding a baseball bat
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — A 16-year-old girl who was visiting Pittsburgh from Tennessee with her family was one of three people stabbed inside a downtown Target store, and she is in critical condition, authorities said Tuesday.
A knife-wielding man ran into the store at about 5:30 p.m. Monday after a fight nearby and briefly took her hostage, authorities said.
The unidentified girl suffered a punctured lung and was taken into surgery, police said Tuesday, and a homeless man, Leon Raymond Walls, 41, was charged in the attack, court records show. There's no evidence Walls knew the girl.
Police say Walls at first headed toward the restrooms in the back of the store in the East Liberty neighborhood and that at least two men entered the store searching for him. Witnesses said one of the men had a baseball bat. Walls allegedly tried to use the girl as a shield while she stood in the checkout lanes with family members, police spokeswoman Diane Richard said.
Walls then allegedly slashed the two men who had chased him and seriously injured the girl.
Police said one of the men will need surgery to repair an injury to his face, while the other man was treated for a hand injury and released.
A police officer was also taken to hospitals to be treated for pepper spray exposure. A bystander who helped to subdue Walls complained of chest pains and was taken to a hospital and listed in stable condition.
Walls was unable to post $250,000 bond, court records show, and no home address or attorney was listed for him.

Defiant Sanford considered resigning, but won't
Published: Sunday, June 28, 2009 at 11:10 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 28, 2009 at 10:20 p.m.
SULLIVANS ISLAND, S.C. (AP) South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford gave thought to quitting, retreating from public scrutiny to rebuild his life as the scandal of his extramarital affair with an Argentinian woman came out, he told The Associated Press Sunday.
Unlike Sanford, most governors easy to find
Associated Press Writer
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) Texas Gov. Rick Perry was raising money at campaign headquarters when an Associated Press reporter called his press staff to ask what he was doing. An hour later, he walked into AP's statehouse bureau to show he was alive and well and not, say, in South America for a romantic rendezvous.
Most of the nation's governors were willing even eager to prove they were on the job after revelations that South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford ditched his security detail and disappeared for a secret weeklong tryst with a mistress in Argentina.
The day after Sanford admitted his indiscretion at a tearful, rambling press conference, The Associated Press called governors' offices nationwide to ask: What's the boss doing right now?
Gov. Mike Beebe of Arkansas was at the dentist. Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley was fishing with his 10-year-old son. Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle was flying back from a Washington speaking engagement, while Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin was visiting U.S. troops in eastern Europe.
Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman was in his office, but a few minutes after a reporter called he, too, showed up at the AP's Capitol bureau a state trooper, the lieutenant governor and his chief of staff in tow to jokingly show he could be accounted for.
The AP had problems finding Georgia's Sonny Perdue, who is serving his final term. His spokesman, Bert Brantley, said Perdue had worked at his Capitol office earlier, but he wasn't sure where the governor was precisely when the AP called. When pressed, Brantley said he would not call the governor just to answer a press inquiry into his whereabouts.
"Even when he's on a personal day or family time, he still keeps his Blackberry on him," Brantley said. "There's not a time when he's not reachable."
Sanford's vanishing act had his fellow governors scratching their heads, if not cracking wise. Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer began a news conference Wednesday by joking he was late because he'd been in Venezuela.
"What was he thinking?" said Schweitzer, a Democrat. "Didn't he think anyone would be watching?"
Impromptu checks by the AP showed most gubernatorial staffs keep close tabs on their bosses.
Florida Gov. Charlie Crist's love life hasn't been an obstacle to keeping in touch. Erin Isaac, Crist's communications director, said: "I talked to the governor 100 times while he was on his honeymoon." Crist just got married in December.
Generally, state officials and staffers should be able to locate a governor on a moment's notice, and the public has a right to know too, said Gene Policinski, executive director of the First Amendment Center, a free speech education organization in Nashville, Tenn., that is part of the Freedom Forum.
Besides giving speeches, signing bills and attending ribbon-cuttings, governors must take charge in natural disasters. They command their states' National Guards. And their personal time can become the public's business, particularly when they betray people's trust, Policinski said.
"As, unfortunately, recent scandals seem to indicate, there is legitimate public interest in knowing where a governor is and what they're doing," Policinski said.
When AP asked where governors were, the most common answer was in the office. Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal was reviewing bills on the last day of the legislative session. Oklahoma Gov. Brad Henry was interviewing a candidate for a judicial appointment.
Even when governors were traveling, staffers had little trouble saying exactly where they were. In Alabama, Gov. Bob Riley's communications director, Jeff Emerson, knew Riley was landing in Seattle after an economic development trip overseas.
Palin's spokeswoman, Sharon Leighow, said the Alaska governor was visiting National Guard troops from her state abroad, but wouldn't immediately disclose where. She called back 30 minutes later, after getting the Defense Department's OK, to say Palin was in Kosovo. Palin told the world where she was that same day in a Twitter update.
As Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty left a Republican fundraiser, he said he always tries to at least let his staff know what he's doing.
"Regardless of whether you're a governor or anyone else, having a little clear-your-head time is probably a good thing," Pawlenty said. "But you always have to make sure you stay in touch in case there's a problem. You have to communicate."
While finding governors through their press offices is easy, tracking them down using schedules available to the general public can be trickier. Most release calendars of public events and news conferences, but some keep closed-door meetings and private functions under wraps even if they're official state business.
Pawlenty's staffers rejected a written request for access to his appointment calendar. On days when he doesn't have news conferences or speeches, his daily events schedule often reads "No Public Events." The fundraiser he attended wasn't on it.
Many states cited security reasons for refusing to release schedules, while others said they're not considered public records.
Most states were also tight-lipped about security, saying revealing details would put chief executives at risk, and arrangements varied widely in states willing to talk about them. In Virginia, State Police guard Gov. Tim Kaine around the clock, anywhere he goes, without exception. North Dakota Gov. John Hoeven, by contrast, normally drives his own car and state law doesn't require him to have a security detail.
Sanford managed to slip overseas undetected because he dismissed his security detail before driving himself to the airport.
Reggie Lloyd, chief of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division, told reporters his agency had no legal authority to refuse Sanford.
"As an adult male, he's free to come and go as he pleases, and so we just honestly quit looking for him," Lloyd said.
There was little need to ask Sanford's office where he was after he returned Wednesday. His every move has been monitored and broadcast far beyond the borders of South Carolina.
On Friday, Sanford met with his agency chiefs to apologize for his baffling absence, then move on with any state business he may have neglected while he was AWOL in Argentina.
Close spiritual and political associates urged him to instead fight to restore his constituents' and his family's trust and finish out the 18 months left in his last term.
"Resigning would be the easiest thing to do," he said he thought.
He's sticking it out and faces endless questions about the affair, whether he used public money to visit his lover and whether his 20-year marriage will continue. Add to it a barrage of criticism from South Carolina politicians who think the two-term Republican should step down.
"Part of walking humbly is you've got to listen to your critics out there," the 49-year-old Sanford said. "And all of us will have critics, and the higher you go, I suppose, the more critics you have."
Sanford spoke exclusively with The Associated Press outside his family's beach house on Sullivans Island. He, his wife, Jenny, and sons were in separate cars, headed to his family's farm where his 83-year-old mother lives in Beaufort, an hour south.
The governor admitted last week to a yearlong affair with the woman from Argentina who he says he's known for about eight years. Later Sunday, 41-year-old former television reporter Maria Belen Chapur acknowledged in a statement that she had been having a relationship with the governor.
Sanford looked like a man of leisure in faded khaki shorts, T-shirt and bare feet. But behind the casual attire, he appeared contrite and spoke of falling from grace and rebuilding his life.
"I am sorry," he said. "I apologize for letting everyone down."
The Sanfords say they will try to reconcile. One person they've sought help from is their spiritual counselor, Warren "Cubby" Culbertson, whom Mark Sanford thanked during the news conference in which he admitted his affair.
Reconciling with fellow lawmakers and constituents also lies ahead. Some lawmakers want his resignation because he secretly visited his mistress during a state-funded 2008 trip, and because he was out of touch with his staff during his recent weeklong visit to Argentina to see her. His staff had told the public he was hiking the Appalachian Trail before the real story of his mysterious absence came to light.
Sanford has agreed to reimburse the state for some of the more than $8,000 in taxpayer money spent on the Argentina leg of the economic development trip to South America last year. On Sunday, he repeatedly said he never used public money to see the woman.
Chapur, a divorced mother of two sons, said in a statement to news network C5n of Buenos Aires that said she will not talk about her private life, which has already been the focus of intense media scrutiny in the U.S. and Argentina.
Chapur, a graduate in political science from the Catholic University of Buenos Aires, said someone accessed her Hotmail account without permission late last year and leaked e-mail correspondence that described a relationship with Sanford to the South Carolina newspaper The State.
"I have decided to send this statement to clear up certain incorrect things that are being reported, and put an end to a matter that, as you imagine, is very painful to me, my two children, my entire family and close friends," she said in the statement addressed to anchor Eduardo Feinman, who read it on camera. Feinman was Chapur's editor when she worked briefly as a television reporter in 2001.
When it comes to his critics most notably Republican state Sen. Jake Knotts and their calls for him to step down, Sanford said he understands where they are coming from.
"I don't begrudge the Jakie Knottses of the world," Sanford said. "He's going to do what he's going to do. I gotta do my part."
The governor's efforts to stay in office appear, in the minds of some lawmakers, to hinge in part on his ability to salvage his marriage. While several critics wants a criminal probe and others want him to step down, reconciling with the first lady does have sway among legislators.
"That's almost become a proxy for how some are looking at this. They're looking at Jenny," said state Sen. Tom Davis, a Beaufort Republican and former Sanford chief of staff. "In large measure, it depends on how things work and how people see things are working out between the governor and first lady."
As far as his marriage, Sanford said he and his wife are working on it.
"If there wasn't healing going on, I wouldn't be here," he said, pointing to his beach house, where he had dinner with his family Saturday night and where he took a run at sunrise on the sand with one of his sons.
Sanford added that he has been overwhelmed by the support he's received.
"It's only in the hard times you get a sense of how blessed you really are," he said.
Regardless of what politicians in the Statehouse think, his Sullivans Island neighbors are supportive.
During Sunday's interview, several folks stopped to say hello as they strolled by on their morning walks. One man, driving a golf cart festooned with red-white-and-blue decorations, paused to invite Sanford and his family to a Fourth of July celebration.
"How are you?" the man asked Sanford.
"Considering the circumstances, all right," Sanford replied with a wan smile.

It was easy to tell that the offshore fishermen were back last week. By 8 a.m. on Saturday the nearest truck/trailer parking space was in Archer – slight exaggeration, so maybe Otter Creek.
The weather was ideal and some impressive catches came in. John Blouse reported to me that the gag bite is strong, with plenty of fish in the legal range and several short fish (see photo). And the king mackerel are willing and able to stretch your line to its limits for those who care for smoked mackerel. I just like the way they scream the drag when they hit a flat line.
Retired Educators Meeting
The Levy/Gilchrist Retired Educators Association meets on the third Monday of every month at the Gathering Table in Chiefland with no June or July meeting. The meeting will start at 10:30 a.m. followed by lunch. Any retired educator from Gilchrist or Levy County is invited to attend.

8-9:15 am Monday, Wednesday, Friday – Cedar Key Library. Yoga CDs are used for instruction and some experience is necessary.
Hello, my name is Miss Daisey Dumpster. I was found by my human-mother almost exactly 4 years ago beside the big garbage dumpster at the Cedar Key school.
I did not look nearly as beautiful and healthy as I am now, having been dumped off at the age of about 6 weeks old with only a small food and water dish as my companions. Now, I am strong and playful, romping with my brother-cat and my two sister-dogs at my forever home on the island of Cedar Key. I was one of the lucky ones.
Fileting the fish may not be the most fun of jobs, but the rewards at dinner are worth it.
Capt. Carl Robinson, left, cleans the day's catch with Kip Riley.
A 17-year-old is in critical condition following a one-vehicle accident Monday shortly after 1 p.m. on U.S. Highway 19 at Northwest 135th Lane, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report.
Trevor D. Hill, 17, was transported to Shands Hospital in Gainesville after he lost control of his 2003 Ford Escape while southbound on U.S. 19 during heavy rain, overcorrected and the SUV started to rotate.
ORLANDO - More than one in 10 Floridians and nearly a quarter of African-Americans in Florida will be shut out of the polls in November because of past mistakes ― but civil rights activists say they hope to change that.
U.S. Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., has introduced legislation in the House ― HR 5352 ― that would restore voting rights to people after leaving prison, with the exception of those convicted of murder, manslaughter or sex crimes.
The long awaited grouper opener has arrived, and both gag and red grouper may be harvested again. Be advised that as of June 1st gag grouper in the gulf must be at least 24 inches long to keep. From what I understand the state wanted the gag grouper size limit to be the same on both coasts. Red grouper are still at 20 inches however. The grouper limit is four in aggregate, not more than two can be gags. Same for reds.
Inshore the water is heating up and trout limits are less common than just a few weeks ago.

The 640x400 window I'm working in feels a little constricting and would like to make it bigger, say 1024x768.
How can I do this?
What you basically want to do is change the resolution of the framebuffer. Here's the process I used (supposing that your desired resolution is 1024x768, and that Hyper-V's framebuffer supports this resolution):

IKEA lamp mod – STRÅLA
I love IKEA and her low cost products.
Last week I found this STRÅLA lamp.
The cost is $4.99, so I bought it.
Lighting the lamp I saw that it 's very pretty but also … too soft…
So I thought to modify the LED and add a RGB led.
With simple modify you can obtain a dinamic lamp.
I used an Arduino to do a fast work, but of course it isn't necessary.
You can use a small microcontroller like a PIC12F675, or a ATTiny.
And this it the result:
How to
Before all, you have to buy a STRÅLA
Open the package
And disassemble the original LED
As you can see the LED shape isn't normal, but there is a cone in the center to better spread the light.
So I modify the RGB led to obtain the same effects and I also smoothed the surface.
Connect the wire to the led and reassemble all.
To connect the RGB led I used a strip wire and some pin.
And now you can connect this pin to PWM ports of Arduino.
The black, blue and white wire are the RGB pin of the LED.
The red one is the Anode.

General Officiating
Membership Information - Technical Officials (All Levels)
BJA Technical Officials who do not step foot onto a judo mat do not need to pay BJA membership but still need to register with the BJA; in order to be included in the Officiating database, be insured to work at BJA competitions and have the opportunity to be invited to work at events across the country. Anyone in this position can register for free volunteer membership.
There are no benefits associated with the Volunteer Membership; Volunteer members will not receive a quarterly issues of the Matside magazine.
Individuals, who are not judoka, but who are just starting out as Officials will be asked to complete a Volunteer Membership Form when sitting their Timekeeper paper.
Transfers to Volunteer Membership
Current Officials, who would like to transfer their membership to volunteer status can do so by downloading a Volunteer Membership form.
Once completed this form will need to be returned to the BJA Volunteer Development Team, either by post or via email to email@example.com
Refunds on any membership costs already incurred are not possible, therefore we recommend doing this only when your current membership is due to expire.
Please note that any Official who participates in Judo either recreationally or competitively must still purchase BJA membership. The Volunteer Membership will only insure individuals to Officiate at events not to step foot onto a judo mat.
Technical Officials Timekeeper Form
For all individuals embarking on the Technical Officials path and training as a Timekeeper, please collect your training evidence using the official Timekeeper form available here. Ensure you take this to all events in order to collect the required 3 signatures from either a Senior Recorder (SR) or Competition Controller (CC). On completion of attendance requirements and receipt of this form, British Judo will recognise you as a Timekeeper qualified to work at our events.
This policy supersedes any previous requirements and will be implemented from the moment this information is circulated.
Revised Technical Officials Qualification System
Following a Board meeting on the 16th February 2016, several changes have been made to the Technical Officials Qualification System. This includes changes to the examination criteria and the syllabus for Timekeepers/ Scorers, Contest recorders, Senior Recorders, Competition Controllers and Tutors & Examiners. We are confident that these changes will lead to the improved efficiency and effectiveness of all Technical Officials within British Judo.
