As for the IDE itself, I've been working with version 5.5 as well as the version 6 milestones. NetBeans continues to advance at a steady, rapid clip, both in terms of features and overall quality. It has become a formidable competitor to Eclipse 3.2.1 and should continue to be for quite some time to come.
I'm sure that it required at this point to make an obligatory poke in the eye at Eclipse, but I won't. As I've said before, the developer community needs a strong and vital NetBeans and Eclipse. NetBeans was inferior for quite some time in comparison to Eclipse until NetBeans 4 was released. From that release up to 5.5, NetBeans has reached parity with Eclipse, and that's with Eclipse continuing to advance in its own lane.
For me, the best solution is currently Java 6 (build 103) with NetBeans 5.5. I like what it does for me as a developer. And I can't wait for NetBeans 6 to finally hit final release. Unless something goes horribly wrong, there's only one way for NetBeans to go, and that's up.
Based on some comments with a fellow employee.
- I use both Eclipse (3.2.1) and NetBeans. I use Eclipse strictly for its Java editor. The Eclipse editor is, hands down, the superior editor of the two.
- I use NetBeans pretty heavily for its Profiler and Matisse visual builder. Again, when comparing NetBeans with Eclipse, NetBeans wins hands down.
- I like NetBeans because it's complete out-of-the-box (or out of the installer). I also find NetBeans update and module management superior to Eclipse.
- Which leads to Eclipse configuration capabilities. Eclipse is incredibly configurable, and yet it's very well organized, especially to NetBeans. NetBeans configuration, in a word, is weak.
- If it wasn't for SWT and Eclipse, there's little chance that Java (specifically JFC) and NetBeans would have improved. Their competition should not be a zero-sum game. Frankly, competition is healthy for both.

VRay for SketchUp Manual
Wondering why the V-Ray
rendering engine doesn't have the highlight option built into it? The truth is
that the highlight is created by reflecting a very bright object or light into the
scene. It is also called lightsource.
Some rendering engines use Highlight to create lightsource if there isn't any
lightsource in the scene. But the current V-Ray for SketchUp version does not
support this option. So you must create a Rectangular Light or other self lit
object as a lightsource for the scene.

Director Steven Knight on Why Locke Is No Ordinary Thriller
Steven Knight's takes an unconventional approach to drama and suspense in Locke.
Courtesy of A24.
The Phoenix Film Festival kicks off a week long of movies and parties tonight with the screening of Steven Knight's Locke. With Tom Hardy as the lead and only visible actor in the film, which takes place in real time over an hour-and-a-half drive through the U.K., the film has the star power behind it to gain some major buzz. While the trailer pegs the movie as a thriller, Knight explains why audiences checking the film out at the festival shouldn't expect explosions, death threats, or assassinations from his film.

Without giving away too much, Knight's film Locke centers around Ivan Locke, an ordinary man with a family and a job in construction played by Hardy. The drive he takes and the barrage of phone calls he receives during it alter his life forever -- and not necessarily for the better. His character's unwavering concept of rightness in the situation is reflected in his name, according to Knight.
"He's locked into his situation," he says. "It's also a reference to the philosopher [John] Locke, who was the first to present the idea of the individual over the group."

While Knight admits that for a thriller the main dilemma for Locke may seem trivial, he wanted to explore drama in the context of everyday events and relatable circumstances. Although Hardy's portrayal of the character as a working class Welshman was spot on, in general, his character felt anything but relatable, and his decisions were intensely frustrating in some parts.
"I did fear it would alienate female audiences," he says. "It's a story about men and their decisions and responsibilities."
However, Knight says at the U.K. and American screenings this hasn't been the case.
Hardy donned a beard in the film, which Knight says "makes him more ordinary still as he didn't want to be too pretty."
Courtesy of A24
While the film excels at realistically simulating the droning on of a long night drive with effective cinematography, it also, unfortunately, carried the burden of constant reminders of how much longer the trip would last as Locke announced his ETA in phone calls throughout the movie. This acted more as a drag on the film than a device to drive suspense.
Despite that, Knight's film is an innovative presentation of a modern thriller, not just because of its surprisingly ordinary subject matter, but also because of the way Knight filmed it. Over the course of eight nights, Knight and Hardy drove through "cold, wet" roads and shot the film twice all of the way through with the voice actors calling in real time from a hotel conference room to provide dialogue.
In the end, there was one particular performance that stood out to Knight where Hardy had mastered the control of emotion it took to play the role. He says this rare opportunity was what drew Hardy, an in-demand actor, to the project.
"It really gives the actor the chance to calibrate their performance and actually invest in the character," Knight explains. "Hardy loves theater."
Knight says he's excited to get back to Phoenix's beautiful weather to see his film screened as the opening night feature for the Phoenix Film Festival. The film, so far, has been received by audiences with a lot of emotion and attachment to personal memories.
"People will tell me, 'That's the journey my father never made,' or, 'That's the journey I never made,'" he says. "The question you're left with at the end is: Was it worth it?'"
See Knight's experimental film Locke at Harkins Scottsdale 101 at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, April 3, for its only screening during the festival. For tickets and more information, visit www.phoenixfilmfestival.com.

Project Description
Hi Freelancers,
Our company is gearing up for a full marketing schedule that is due to commence in March. For this we need to create five email templates for each one of our products plus two Newsletter template designs – one intended for customers and one for prospects.
We use Dotmailer for our email marketing; the system contains a wyswig/html editor and a 'drag and drop' easy editor. Ideally, the template design would need to be compatible with the latter.
For the product campaigns
Each template would need to consist of three main areas – header, content, footer. The header and footer areas would ideally be locked for each campaign with the content area (text) allowed to be editable.
Each header would contain the product logo and strapline with a navigation bar underneath. The purpose of the product campaigns is to drive to a landing page and from there to the relevant product website - so for this we want to make this link obvious. It might be and idea to have this link in the navigation bar AND within the content area of the email. Rather than linking directly to one of our websites in the navigation bar (this is what the landing page is for) we would include generic links in the navigation bar such as contact, forward to a friend and view in browser.
The footer would be locked for each campaign and include logos of our full product range plus company details.
For the newsletters
The same concept except the customer newsletter header would contain our full product range logos w/ strapline and the customer newsletter would contain the company logo (Gemini Network Media) as this is our corporate identity which brings all our products together under one banner.
I can provide all original vector artwork and a full brief upon request.
If this is a job that appeals to you and you think you could cope with quite a quick turnaround (these all need to be ready for the start of March) then please get in touch.
If you could quote for the work as a whole – the five product templates will be basically the same with differing logos / straplines in the headers. Two newsletter designs should be unique.
Attached are two screenshots of the dotMailer interface so you can see what we are working with.

Face Slide

Sometimes you just need a little push. Thanks, dad.

Sometimes you just need a little push. Thanks, dad.
(submitted by Alayna)
Faceplant brought to you by…Dad?!
A nose manual … nice
This is awesome! Best picture I've seen on this site.
whos the one legged guy ?
That's funny because I have slid that same way and I am 22 lol
Go! Bwaaah!
Best photo on the site 😀
Oh my goodness!! I cannot stop laughing!!!
Football kick off~ and he topped it..
The baby liked it, the toes never lie.
I woke up this morning in a bad mood but after finding this page my state of mind improved.
Made me spit my soda out thru my nose. LOL!
HAHA My favorite photo!!
ouch was she crying????
i betcha she was waaa waaaing!!!!
i know i shouldnt laugh but it is so hilar'!!!!!
Oh no! Poor child. But I cannot stop laughing. The hair! The knees! The TOES! Poor thing. It's just too funny.
A rush? No, but I giggled my a** off. How is this hurt? It's not like being an adult and face-planting. She'll be fine unless her parents give her a reason to think she's really hurt. I get the distinct feeling your household goes through more bubble wrap than a shipping warehouse.
"How is this hurt"?! I did this when I was five years old and knocked out six teeth. My parents didn't need to tell me I was hurt- the gushing blood and teeth scattered all over the lawn kind of clued me in.
Maybe you don't have kids and are one of those people that just can't remember ever being one, but I'll clue you in- being a kid and face-planting into the hard ground is exactly the same as being an adult and doing the same. It HURTS!
That being said, this picture is funny. In the long run, I'm sure this kid is fine, just like I was. If I had a picture of myself doing the same, I would submit it and be glad that at least we can all enjoy the moment now. It's not often you capture something like this on film and it's definitely giggle-worthy.
(Also, I'm aware that these posts are two years old, but I wanted to get that off my chest.)
Think maybe the picture is a little misleading. It give the notion that she was tossed. I think she probably was put on her belly and give a little push. If she had on a dry suit to start with she's gonna rock forward on her nose. I guarantee Dad was on her like white on rice with hugs and a "let's try that again."
Don't worry, they bounce.
oh my gosh…. i havent laughed so hard in i dont know when…at the comments too…thank you all so much for makeing my day. ROFL
does anyone know where the guy's other leg is?
O>M>G !! Seriously yelled "WHAT THE HELL !?" when I saw this and laughed SO HARD ! faceplant FAIL !
That leg is shaved…. this is not the dad…..
I cannot stop laughing. Slip and slide FAIL
It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt – and then it's downright hilarious!
Seriously, she must have been fine but I'm worried about the off-camera daggers that the mom probably shot at the father with "the look"
I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying. Thats for all the sleepless nights ! The dirty diapers ! Puking on my business suit 5 minutes before my carpool arrives !
For me it's the one leg in the background.
Oh, I laughed so hard. Yes, you can feel bad for the little girl…but I swear I have BEEN that little girl! This was the funniest one I have seen so far and there are LOTS of funny pics!
There are no words to describe this! I just busted out laughing!!! It's the hair and butt in the air at the same time that make it hysterical! Best post so far!
Where's the bow?
obviously the owner of the picture thought it was funny enough to submit
so i don't feel as bad about laughing until i pee my pants
i mean literally… i had to change clothes
I have tears running down my face right now! I wonder what they thought when they got their pictures back and saw this one? So funny!!!
first drink
lol…. your comment made me laugh.. XD
ok i've been looking at these pics all night and this is the first one that just made me laugh so loud i might have woken everybody in the house! … it's the flying hair that does it.
I did the same thing except I'm here at work. Laughing tears here!
Noooo! It's the knees! Look where her knees are! (Now laugh.)
Now have another look! THE KNEES!!!!!!!
No, it's the TOES!!! I mean I am in a coughing fit in laughing from that picture. Poor little thing, but the perfect little frog legs with the curly toes, flying hair, oh God, this is funny!!
AAAAHAHAHAHA!!! THE TOES!!!! OMGosh I'm crying right now!!!
not funny. :/
Bringing new meaning to Facepalm.
Funny and really messed up at the same time. poor kid!!
awwww….wrong…just wrong…..poor baby!! 🙁
poor baby…. that fails…
I'm crying from laughter – I think I'm related to these two…
– its the one legged man who's awkward.
Easy to see how we might be descended from frogs.
I didnt even notice the man had one leg!!!!how funny …..things that make u go hmmm
I'm guessing he's an NFL punter!
lol…i have always said that babies have lil froggy butts. can't stop laughing.
HA! HA! Can not stop laughing ! !
?? I don't see why this is funny.. It looks someone just threw a kid on the ground and it hurt her a lot.
I'm laughing not at the hurt child, but your comment. Too funny!
I have kids and this is just classic! The thing that probably hurt the most was her pride and a little water up her nose!
The poor girl will never live this down…her dad will show this to her first boyfriend and tell the story of the day his little girl got pnwed by her father…the little one was prolly not hurt, my kid did things like this all the time, its more embarassing than anything
We hope nothing else is hurt. This picture is disturbing to me and the fact that people think it's hilarious is even more disturbing. wth?
me too! ☺
What's funnier than children getting hurt?
And that's not funny?
i'm with you cmb…
This was why my parents sold my slip n slide two days after I got it. Rise of spine or nose injuries.
omg..bless her heart..good thing a stick or rock was under there..poor girl could of lost an eye..smh
i meant was not..typo of course 0.o
we could just throw the dangerous slip and slide away… but no, lets sell it so someone else's child gets hurt instead.
You know the parents immediatley posted this on failblog
That's gotta hurt!


text: The Hammerfight wiki last edited by Forcen on 02/16/13 04:08PM View full history OverviewHammerfight is a 2D physics based action game set in a medieval steampunk universe. It was sold in the Humble Indie Bundle 3, with a separate PSP Minis release.StoryAfter the destruction of his people, the last of the Gaiar, once the ruling house, is sold into slavery. When he regains his freedom, he joins a tournament in order to seek revenge on the nobles that were responsible for the deaths of the other Gaiar. At multiple points in the story the player is given the ability to choose between two different dialogue options which changes the outcome of the story and gives access to different missions.GameplayHammerfight is played by using the mouse to pilot a small ship which can equip a variety of weapons. The weapons consist of different hammers, swords, axes, flails, and firearms. They are attached to the center of the ship and pivot around it as the player moves. Basic swings are made by moving the ship in circles to get the weapon to rotate around the ship. Force of impact and its location the opponent help determine the damage of the blow, requiring the player to reach the optimal position while retaining the weapon's momentum.There are 6 modes that can be accessed from the main menu. They can all use the same save so weapons unlocked in one mode can be used in another.While combat is the main focus of the game, there are several one-off missions in the story that use the game mechanics differently. These include objectives such as hitting a falling boulder as high in the air as possible, destroying baskets as they are being thrown towards you, and launching a flail to destroy hanging baskets then flying over to catch it before it falls.ModesSolo - This is the basic story mode where other modes are unlocked.Hall - The armory is accessed here so you can set your loadout for the other modes.Grim - Waves of creatures must be fended off for as long as possible.Arena - The player must fight off increasingly difficult enemy ships. It is similar to most of solo mode.Hammer Ball - A simple game where the player and an A.I. team try to hit a ball into their team's goals.Tribal Wars - A large two team battle where the player must destroy the opposing team's flying worms.Acclaim2008 Independant Game Festival - Nominee for Seumas McNally Grand Prize2008 Independant Game Festival - Nominee for Excellence in Visual ArtSystem RequirementsOS: Windows 98SE / ME / XP / VistaProcessor: Athlon / Pentium III 2 GHzMemory: 256 MbGraphics: DirectX 8.0 compatible with 64 Mb VRAMDirectX®: 8.0Hard Drive: 150 MbSound: DirectX 8.0 compatible

Marcus Wainwright, 34, founded the denim and clothing brand Rag & Bone in 2002, and is now co-owner and co-creative director with David Neville. The company has won two awards for emerging design: the Ecco Domani Fashion Foundation Award in 2005 and the Swarovski Council of Fashion Design award in 2007. Celebrities who wear its designs include Cameron Diaz, Kate Moss and Jude Law. Wainwright lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and son
David and I met at boarding school in Berkshire. I was in the year above him, so although we knew each other, we didn't become really close friends until during my gap year in Portugal. I was working in a bar and he came out for a holiday, then ended up working there too. We were just bumming around on the beach enjoying ourselves before university; it was a lot of fun.
The following year he went to Durham to study something weird like molecular biology and I went to Newcastle, but we still saw a lot of each other – mainly on Monday nights at The Boat, this awful nightclub on a ferry on the Tyne with a revolving dance-floor and 50p vodka shots. David had always been a bit of a golden boy at school, so I think he was enjoying his new-found freedom and liked to live it up a bit.
We never dreamt we'd end up doing what we are now. We didn't even think we'd end up doing the same thing – he went into investment banking and I set up my own telecoms company. After a couple of years I couldn't handle London weather any more and went to Mexico, where I met my wife. I moved to New York to be with her and that was when I set up Rag & Bone.
David came on board to handle the money side of the business and initially he worked from England, but it didn't take much persuasion to get him to come to live in New York and work full-time in fashion. I think he might also have been trying to escape a young lady in London at the time.
David's always been more into fashion than me. He's a bit of a dandy. I just like drawing and making things, whereas he is interested in creating a whole brand. We had no training at all and didn't really have a clue what we were doing – all I had originally wanted to do was to make a nice pair of dark denim jeans for myself. But suddenly, there we were visiting factories in Kentucky, staying in motels, drinking moonshine and talking about jeans. It was a steep learning curve but a lot of fun.
David and I make such a good team because we want the same thing, but do different things to achieve it. David is much more positive than me. He always sees the bright side, whereas I can see the pitfalls. We balance each other out.
Unless you have been to a boarding school it's hard to explain, but you go through a lot together and make incredibly close friends. I think it's fair to say that neither of us has made friends as good as those we made at school. It's nice to have someone who I go back that far with in New York; it's like having a bit of home here.
David Neville, 32, joined Rag & Bone in 2002. He lives in Manhattan with his wife, the celebrity make-up artist Gucci Westman, and son
I must have been about 13 when I first met Marcus at boarding school. He was a bit older than me, so we weren't close at that stage, but I remember him as a confident, likeable guy who I smoked the occasional cigarette with on rooftops or in bushes.
Our friendship was galvanised by a few months spent together working in a nightclub in Portugal. We slept on cushions on the dance-floor after work and traded free drinks for sun-beds on the beach and meals at local restaurants. We were young and frivolous and I have very good memories of that time.
Our lives since have developed strangely in tandem – we both went to university in the north, then moved to London for work and finally to New York, where we teamed up to create the business. We even had our sons a week apart. It's quite amazing when I reflect on how far we have come together.
I jumped at the chance to get involved when Marcus asked me, as I have always enjoyed clothes: what I wear, what my mother and girlfriends have worn. That said, I am a heterosexual guy, which is worth pointing out in this industry – Marcus and I did a shoot with Mario Testino a while ago and he was trying to persuade us we should be a couple.
We now have about 50 people working in our office in the Meatpacking District, and it's important to us that we set the right atmosphere with our own relationship. We worked though a lot of the stress early in our partnership, so we know how far we can push each other. We very rarely argue.
Now we both have young children we don't hang out as much as we did when we first arrived in New York – not so much playing pool in bars. What's cool, though, is that we can incorporate a bit of fun into our work – if we have an event to go to, such as the Met Ball or something, we can go and have a pint in our black tie beforehand and laugh at the fact we're about to take some Russian model as our "date".
It's reassuring to have each other here as support. Our lives resemble each other's very closely – we share the same schedule, the same family situation, we do the same things at the weekends. It's unusual to have a friend with whom you have almost every experience in common, so we can compare notes on it all. We're very lucky in that respect.

Winning Catalog Review is from Nolen for B. Krigstein Comics:
B. Krigstein has been an overlooked master of the comics medium and Fantagraphics really does him justice in this hefty volume. This is one of the best comic reprints I've seen, because the stories have been (for the most part) reproduced with the original colors and not redone digitally, so the pages look how they did originally. At a quick glance, his art seems typical, but upon a closer reading, individual panels, or sets of panels, could easily stand as a masterpieces on their own for the composition, rendering, and emotional impact. Well worth the price."
Eric read Blindness and Seeing:
I've been reading at a madman's pace this year, and my most shattering discovery has got to be Portuguese novelist Jose Saramago -- particularly his mid-'90s masterpiece Blindness. Blindness immediately thrusts us into the action: an unnamed European metropolis falls prey to a mysterious plague of blindness, beginning with rush-hour gridlock as the very first victim becomes afflicted while driving downtown. From there, the novel follows the grim aftermath for the first few sufferers (all unnamed, as in most of Saramago's work) as well as the even grimmer governmental response to the plague. In the process, Saramago evokes modern catastrophes such as AIDS and the Holocaust without ever being anything less than compulsively readable; his dense but addictive style and diabolical sense of humor (in which humanism and sadism violently collide) are more than enough to renew your faith in modern literature, and remind me of the thrills I experienced when I first discovered authors such as Dostoyevsky, Bukowski, and Thomas Bernhard.
For those who have already read and loved Blindness, you'll be happy to discover that Saramago's latest novel, Seeing, about an electoral revolt against a right-wing regime, gradually reveals itself as a sequel of sorts to Blindness (with a setting and several characters in common) and compliments the first book perfectly. Both are extreme page-turners -- not to mention art of the highest order!"
Benn read Fart Party:
I'd like to thank Julia Wertz for the extra joke of naming her comics "Fart Party". Not only is Fart Party my favorite comic of the year, but every time I try to recommend it or tell someone about it, I get the second joke - the one that's on me - for telling someone, "You have to check out Fart Party, it's awesome." They always give me that "you've got to be kidding me" look. People seem reluctant to believe that something called "Fart Party" can be good, but it is. And I imagine that Julia's response to people like that would be, "fuck 'em." Unabashedly autobiographical, with art that brings to mind a darker Ariel Schrag, Julia's sudden bursts of inappropriate hostility and frustration only serve to make the comic version of herself more endearing. Plus, she picks her nose. And her letter pages alone are worth the cover price. So, there it is. Fart Party. Take a whiff."
Rachel loves Kid Robot/My Paper Crane's Doughnut Keychains:
Just released today, they're a perfect keychain replica of Heidi Kenney's plush creations. They're flocked and a nice fit in the hand, somewhat bigger and more adorable than you'd expect. How does something so simple and tiny give so much joy?

The much-hyped guest appearance of Tom Cruise Tuesday gave Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution's "The Rosie O'Donnell Show" its highest-ever metered-market average, and made "Rosie" the most watched talkshow of the day.In the 35 overnight markets, "Rosie" averaged an 8.9 rating and 26 share, beating King World's "Oprah," 7.8/20, and Buena Vista TV's "Live With Regis & Kathie Lee," 4.8/19. "Rosie" outperformed its previous metered-market high of 6.1/19, and it finished first in its time period in 26 of the 35 overnight markets. In the nation's largest market, New York, "Rosie" averaged a 12.3/40 at 10 a.m., which was 22% higher than its previous high. In fact, competitors in New York appear to be scheduling some of their weakest shows against "Rosie" at 10 a.m. As expected, Paramount Domestic TV's "Montel Williams" is moving from WNYW, where it was scheduled at 10 a.m. against "Rosie," to WWOR, where it is expected to air at 2 p.m. In its place, WNYW will be running reruns of "America's Funniest Home Videos" and "I Love Lucy." WNYW isn't the only New York station that appears to be keeping its better shows away from "Rosie," whose competition at 10 a.m. now includes the struggling talkers "In Person With Maureen O'Boyle," "Scoop With Sam & Dorothy" and "Rolonda," as well as the soap "Guiding Light."

When I'm sitting in the dark corner all alone,
Sitting still as a wrecked stone,
I just want to be by myself,
Just put my head down and cry,
Trying to pry,
Into my heart,
Just maybe I can make it start,
So there's somewhere for love to stow,
Just thought you should know,
When people look at you and laugh and tease you,
There's nothing you can do,
Except make a dash to the restroom,
It's like hell unleashed and made you boom,
Now looking at the person in the mirror,
Cutting yourself with a broken scissor,
They messed up my life,
Now I'm desprate and turning to my knife,
Depressed and hurt and so,
Just thought you should know,
Sitting once again alone at the lunch tables,
Reading quietly yet another fable,
So peaceful until a buff guy picks on me,
Throwing down my book and laughing with glee,
Then pushing me down and kicking me until I was in pain,
With this keep on hapening, what is there to gain?
Then, you show up in my life and ask me if I need a hand,
You helped me stand,
And fight for I want,
You helped me grow,
Just thought you should know......

It won't have a waterbed, shagorific wall carpeting or be filled with dirty, pachouli-doused hippies, but Volkswagen and DaimlerChrysler could produce a new VW-branded minivan for the US market. The Chrysler Voyager-based microbus, which could appear as early as 2007, would fill a gaping hole in VW's US line. Full details will likely be revealed at the Frankfurt show, but a German magazine writes the venture could add 30,000 production units to Chrysler's minivan plant, and notes (quite obviously) that the new van must retain enough VW-ness to distinguish it from its Chrysler platform mates. VW boss Wolfgang Bernhard, formerly COO of DaimlerChrysler — who recently was ruled out to head Mercedes — and DCX chief Dieter Zetsche will likely be burning the midnight oil to get the deal done in the next week or so.

Look into my eyes and
tell me what you see.
Tell me if you see anything at all.
Can you see that I'm empty?
Can you see straight through me?
Can you see why I'm not smiling?
Can you see the swirling pools of blue,
or the things that humans do?
Can you see that I'm empty?
Can you see what I've made?
can you tell I'm afraid?
can you see my emotions?
Or just an iris, cornea,
lens and fovea?
Can't you see that I am empty?
Look into my eyes and
tell me what you feel.
Tell me if you feel anything at all.

Congratulations to all the participants in the 2005-06 Toyota Gator Bowl, and especially to the Virginia Tech Hokies for their 35-24 victory over the Louisville Cardinals
The 2005-06 Gator Bowl will match 9-2 Louisville of the Big East Conference against 10-2 Virginia Tech of the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC). Get your Gator Bowl tickets to be there and cheer for your Louisville Cardinals or your Virginia Tech Hokies!
The Toyota Gator Bowl is a contest of teams from the ACC and the Big East, or Notre Dame, following the BCS selection. Its long and glorious history stems back to New Year's Day of 1946, when Wake Forest bested South Carolina, 26-14. In 1955, the Gator Bowl became the first collegiate bowl game to be televised coast to coast, and it has been part of America's holiday season ever since.
Still, why stay home and watch the Toyota Gator Bowl indoors, when you could head for sunny Jacksonville, Florida? See if you can pick out future NFL players from the rosters. After all, the Gator Bowl was a step in the careers of guys like Dan Marino, Michael Vick, Earl Campbell, Thurman Thomas, Archie Manning, Larry Csonka, and Peyton Manning, to name but a few. Over the decades, some 175 first-team All-Americans have participated.
The Toyota Gator Bowl not only provides first-rate athletic competition but also spurs the local economy and raises funds for charity. Its special focus is kids, as can be seen in many of the events surrounding the game. These include a 5K Run in which donors have the option to 'Run For A Child' who is a patient at Wolfson Children's Hospital, the Winn-Dixie Hometown Gator Bowl Parade preceded by a Little Red Wagon Pull, a kid-friendly tailgate party. Local businesses make tickets to the game available to youth organizations, local children participate in a pregame dance show, and kids take over the field right after the game for rounds of flag football.
Alltel Stadium is the home base for the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars. Opened in 1995, on the site of the old Gator Bowl, the facility was upgraded to the tune of $47 million to host Super Bowl XXXIX in February 2005. Outside escalators to whisk fans into the 82,000 seat arena are just one example of the facility's unique luxuries. The Alltel is now the venue for the ACC Championship, a playoff inaugurated in 2005. It also provides neutral ground for a fearsome football rivalry dating back to 1915, diplomatically referred to as the Georgia-Florida game one year and the Florida-Georgia game the next.
If you love football or just great fun in the sun, get your tickets now to start the New Year off right at the Toyota Gator Bowl.

MINNEAPOLIS -- For the last few years, the Minnesota Twins have been known for promising young pitching and playing small ball.
On Saturday, those things did the Twins in and further dimmed their chances for catching Detroit in the AL Central.
Brett Anderson threw seven sharp innings and Cliff Pennington had three hits with an RBI as the Oakland Athletics won for the fifth time in six games, beating the Twins 4-2.
Less than 24 hours after routing Minnesota with a season-high five home runs, the A's showed the Twins their own style of small ball by making the most of a relatively quiet day at the plate. They drew walks, stole bases, advanced runners and scored on sac-flies.
Anderson (9-10) retired 18 of 24 batters, including the final eight he faced, and didn't allow a walk for the fourth time this season to win his second-consecutive start.
"He was fantastic," Oakland manager Bob Geren said. "He's had a few really good outing this year. This is in the top two or three, that's for sure."
Michael Wuertz pitched a scoreless eighth for Oakland and Andrew Bailey pitched the ninth for his 24th save in 28 chances.
Oakland held Minnesota's two best hitters - AL batting leader Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau - to just one hit in seven at-bats.
"Any time you hold those guys to one hit, it limits their offense," Anderson said. "So I feel pretty good about that."
Twins rookie Jeff Manship (0-1) lasted four innings in his third-career start, charged with four runs off three hits and three walks.
Pennington was the only one to drive in a run with a hit when his double in the second inning scored Daric Barton to give Oakland a 2-0 lead.
Despite the relatively quiet day at the plate, the A's made the most of their chances; three of their six walks eventually scored and their five stolen bases tied a season high.
"When we get on, we're going to make things happen. We're not going to stand around," Pennington said.
For the second-straight game, a young Oakland pitcher rendered Minnesota's lineup harmless.
The Twins evened the game at 2-2 with runs in the third and fourth, but Oakland regained the lead for good by scoring two runs in the fifth without a hit. Reliever Jesse Crain walked Adam Kennedy to load the bases after Manship walked Eric Patterson and Pennington. Rajai Davis and Kurt Suzuki each followed with a sacrifice fly to give the A's a two-run lead.
"After we tie the game and we walk three to load the bases, that's pretty much going to shoot you," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "You can't give free passes in this league and expect to get away with it and there's the ball game."
Minnesota entered the game 5 ½ games behind the slumping Tigers in the standings after blowing several chances over the past week to make up ground.
"We're just not playing very good," Morneau said. "It's hard to describe it. We're just not scoring runs like we were. The frustrating part is that we know we have the guys to do it."
- Athletics manager Bob Geren said RHP Vin Mazzaro felt "even better" after throwing Saturday, a day after throwing from 140 feet. Geren said Mazzaro may throw a bullpen session on Monday and that the goal is to have Mazzaro return to the mound before the end of the season.
- Davis stole second in the first inning to become the first Oakland player to steal a base in four consecutive games since Stan Javier in 1995. He has a career-high 36 stolen bases this season.
- Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said he expects RHP Kevin Slowey, who had season-ending wrist surgery in August, to be ready for spring training.

Issue Type: Bug Created: 2012-07-27T09:35:25.000+0000 Last Updated: 2012-07-27T16:05:43.000+0000 Status: Resolved Fix version(s): Reporter: Piotr Deszyński (piteer1) Assignee: Ryan Mauger (bittarman) Tags: - Zend_Application
Related issues: Attachments:
This bug occures while using modular ZF1 structure and module specific Bootstrap class. To reproduce this bug:

resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules"
resources.modules[] =

class Default_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap {

resources.frontController.plugins.dispatchTest = "Test_Controller_Plugin_DispatchTest"
From now on preDispatch method will be called more than once. This leads to confusion.
To fix this behaviour it's needed to remove module specific Bootstrap.
Expected behaviour:
PreDispatch called only once.
Posted by Ryan Mauger (bittarman) on 2012-07-27T09:43:59.000+0000
This sounds more like the common problem of not having a favicon.ico, or another missing file which is referenced in the output html (like a link to a stylesheet which is broken).
Could you clarify how you are determining that preDispatch is called twice?
Please also note, that preDispatch will also be called more than once on requests involving the error controller, or any use of _forward in a controller, or if you change the requested controller / action, as all of these methods involve running a second iteration of the dispatch loop.
I'm going to close this issue as preDispatch being called more than once is expected behaviour in many circumstances.
Please provide a clear, reproduce case, and documentation of how you are observing preDispatch being called more than once if you wish to re-open, so that we can rule out all of the legitimate use cases where this is normal behaviour.
Posted by Piotr Deszyński (piteer1) on 2012-07-27T13:45:02.000+0000
I tried this while using curl instead of a browser (so this shouldn't make favicon.ico request). Additionally it's like I wrote: when you remove module specific Bootstrap, everything behaves like it should. There is no _forward call, there is no error either.
I will write again how to reproduce this bug:

class Test_Controller_Plugin_Test extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract {
public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request) {
var_dump('pre dispatch');
and put it into file 'library/Test/Controller/Plugin/Test.php'

autoloaderNamespaces.Test = "Test_"
resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules"
resources.modules[] =
resources.frontController.plugins.test = "Test_Controller_Plugin_Test"

class Default_Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap {
and put this code into 'application/modules/default/Bootstrap.php'
Posted by Piotr Deszyński (piteer1) on 2012-07-27T14:00:11.000+0000
Additionally you can change Plugin class to:

class Test_Controller_Plugin_Test extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract {
private static $_preDispatchCalled = 0;
public function preDispatch(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request) {
public static function getDispatchCalled() {
return self::$_preDispatchCalled;
And run a test:

class IndexControllerTest extends Zend_Test_PHPUnit_ControllerTestCase
public function setUp()
$this->bootstrap = new Zend_Application(APPLICATION_ENV, APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini');
public function testPreDispatchOnce() {
$this->assertTrue(Test_Controller_Plugin_Test::getDispatchCalled() === 1);
This test will fail whether it shoulnd't have
Posted by Ryan Mauger (bittarman) on 2012-07-27T14:22:26.000+0000
Given the steps you outlined, there are no controllers in your new 'default' module, so there would have been a controller not found exception, looping the request to the error controller. try creating application/modules/default/controllers/IndexController.php and in it put:

class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
public function indexAction()
This should make your test pass (it does for me). Also, this is expected behaviour.
Posted by Ryan Mauger (bittarman) on 2012-07-27T14:36:47.000+0000
Additionally, I've just noticed I did one thing different from you when creating the test, I used Zend_Application_Module_Bootstap as the bootstrap for the 'default' module as it is a module bootstrap the way you have used it. Having two or more Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap bootstraps will cause unexpected problems also, as this is not its intended use.
You would save yourself some pain by not having a 'default' module in the modules directory, as this really isn't the way that your application will behave anyway.
Posted by Piotr Deszyński (piteer1) on 2012-07-27T16:05:43.000+0000
Yes, thank you. probably that was the cause. Sorry for the problem.
Have you found an issue?

I'm just trying to find some basic care instructions for growing
Amorphophallus prainii. The plant is approximately 10" tall now and
appears to be actively growing (was given plant in early October this year).
I'm growing the plant in a 50 % loam and the remainder in 1:1:1 peat, perlite, vermiculite under
a 4' fluorescent light.
Since I live in Fitchburg Massachusetts, Can I expect a dormancy and if so any idea when it would start?
Just trying to get a sense how finicky this plant is and how susceptible to rot.
Anyone have a fact sheet? All I know is it's habitat is near Thailand/ Indonesia and not much more.
Any help is appreciated,
Kirk Martin
Fitchburg, Mass.

West Allis Library is thankful it can still stock its shelf
City's budget continues to allow for material acquisitions
West Allis — The West Allis Public Library continues to enjoy city support that allows it to order books and materials patrons want, its director says.
Michael Koszalka says he is relieved that the library has been able to keep its materials acquisition budget strong, despite pressures from a poor economy and the proposed 2014 library budget's 3.9 percent increase.
"Some libraries are struggling with their materials budgets," West Allis Public Library Director said.
The library has spent $281,000 annually for books and other materials for several years, he said. Next year though, it got a $1,000 bump.
To make that money go farther, the library participates in the state buying consortium, Koszalka said.
Traditional books are still very popular at the West Allis Library, he said, but DVDs are also extremely popular.
The library's 2014 budget made it through the Library Board's scrutiny and didn't attract any flak at the Nov. 5, he said. The city's budget reviews continue, but Koszalka is hopeful nothing will change.
"We weren't cut, and these days that's something we're very happy about," he said.
He was able to hold 2014 library spending at zero except for pay, Koszalka said.
Because of the poor economy, wages had been frozen for several years, he said. Small raises were given this year and 2 percent raises are in the 2014 budget, he said. The $71,220 for the raises next year boosted the library's proposed 2014 budget 3.9 percent. The total proposed 2014 budget is $1,895,226.

An unusual way to explore
Feeling bored in Bangkok, or maybe just tired of the crowds and traffic? It's time for a day of random travel, Bangkok style. Random travel is simply that: motion for the sake of moving. The details of a culture are written in the way that daily life is lived — Thailand is at its most interesting when it doesn't know it's being watched. The Grand Palace and famous wats are great, but wandering away from it all can be a rewarding view into the way that Thais really live — monks on alms rounds, groups of school children on their way home, motorcycle cab drivers napping the hot afternoon away.
A good way to spend an afternoon is to ride one of the commuter trains out into the suburbs and take a look around. Train timetables can be found online at the State Railway of Thailand's website and once you arrive it's time to explore the Thai way: by eating and walking around.
Our normal itinerary is a snack, then search for a temple or wat (or whatever — this is how we once found a random museum of looms used to weave in Hua Thake), then some green space for a bit of a rest (and an iced coffee), then more food, and then back on the train home.
Most commuter trains run quite often so it's easy to manage an afternoon without risking being stuck (although there's nearly always a way back) — just ask the ticket agent to book you a return when you leave to ensure there is an inbound train.
Greater Bangkok is big and spread out, but grab a window seat and watch the suburbs give way to rice paddy, coconut palms, and water buffalo in the course of an hour — travel in the most freeing sense of the word!
And where to go? Try heading west from Thonburi station towards Nakhon Pathom; southwest from Thaksin station towards Mahachai and Samut Songkhram; north from Bang Sue station towards Ayutthaya; or east from Hualamphong station towards Chachoengsao. We've found that the most intriguing spots are often found by getting off at any random stop and having a poke around.

Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is the major complication associated with allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The progression of inflammatory events that results in widespread tissue damage develops from the imbalance between the effector and regulatory arms of the immune system. In particular, the sustained and progressive decrease in regulatory T cells (Tregs) is a hall mark of GVHD and unleashes effector T cells to mediate direct cytotoxic effects as well as promote the secretion of inflammatory cytokines. The re-establishment of effective Treg control of GVHD through adoptive transfer or in vivo augmentation is an area of intense interest and has significant clinical implications. However, Tregs represent a heterogeneous population and there remain numerous questions with respect to the specific regulatory T cell populations that contribute to the maintenance of tolerance in GVHD biology. The overall goal of this proposal is to define the role of specific regulatory T cell populations in the pathophysiology of GVHD in order to develop clinically based strategies that will facilitate transplantation tolerance. Our overall hypothesis s that Treg populations have unique roles in GVHD biology and that the cooperative function of these populations is necessary for optimal GVHD protection after allogeneic stem cell transplantation. To address this hypothesis, experiments have been designed to address the following specific aims. Studies in Specific Aim 1 will define the role of in vivo-induced CD4+ Tregs (iTregs) in mitigating GVHD and to determine the extent to which these cells complement CD4+ natural Tregs (nTregs) in the prevention of this disease. We will also define the role of in vitro-differentiated CD4+ iTregs in preventing GVHD. We will exploit the ability to stabilize Foxp3 expression in in vitro-generated CD4+ Tregs using clinically relevant pharmacological approaches and determine how these cells cooperatively function with CD4+ nTregs for GVHD prevention. Finally, studies will be conducted to define the role of interleukin 10 in mediating th suppressive effects of CD4+ in vivo-induced iTregs, in vitro-differentiated iTregs, and nTregs.
Specific Aim 2 will examine the role of a novel CD8+ Foxp3+ Treg population that we have identified and found to suppress GVHD. We will define the role of in vivo and in vitro-generated CD8+ Tregs in the prevention of GVHD, the temporal requirement for these cells to exert suppressive effects, and the extent to which the generation of these cells is modulated by Stat 3 dependent cytokines. We will also determine the T cell repertoire and transcriptional signature of these cells in comparison to natural and induced CD4+ Tregs, and the mechanisms by which these cells suppress alloresponses. The overall objective of this proposal is to develop clinically based strategies that will facilitate transplantation tolerance, reduce GVHD-associated mortality, and improve overall survival.
Graft versus host disease (GVHD) is the major complication associated with allogeneic stem marrow transplantation and limits the number of patients that can benefit from this potentially life-saving procedure. A heterogeneous population of immune cells called regulatory T cells (Tregs) has been found to modulate the severity of GVHD. The goal of this project is to define the precise role of specific regulatory T cell populations in the pathophysiology of GVHD so that these cells can be more effectively used to prevent this complication. The ultimate objective of this proposal is that these preclinical studies will translte into new approaches that will improve transplant outcome and overall survival in patients by decreasing the severity of this life-threatening disease.
