What to do when you have to run some thread and make it do the same things for X times? We can do it in several ways, but today I am going to show you achieve it using ExecutorService implementations:
- scheduled thread executor
- single thread executor
To show you how do they work, I will write two tests, one per each executor thread, but first of all we need to add one dependency to our TDD project:
<dependency> <groupId>com.jayway.awaitility</groupId> <artifactId>awaitility</artifactId> <version>1.7.0</version> </dependency>
Awaitility, which we have added above, is library used for testing asynchronous code. The main trick is done by waiting until some events occur within some specific time. We can also specify poll interval of condition checking.
Let's move on to the topic and write tests:
@Test public void testScheduledExecutorService() throws InterruptedException { AtomicInteger i = new AtomicInteger(0); ScheduledExecutorService executorService = Executors.newSingleThreadScheduledExecutor(); executorService.scheduleAtFixedRate(() -> { i.incrementAndGet(); if (i.get() == 10) { executorService.shutdown(); } }, 0, 1, TimeUnit.SECONDS); await().atMost(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS).until(() -> i.get() == 10); assertTrue(executorService.isShutdown()); }
When we want to run scheduled thread for several times it is good idea to use AtomicInteger, which is thread safe. In this test, we run thread without initial delay. New thread will be executed after exactly 1 second after the last one. When counter i reaches 10, current thread shutdowns executor service, which will no longer call another threads. In the last but one line, awaitility blocks test until within 10 seconds counter reaches 10. At the very end, we check if executor service was shut down properly.
Second test is quite shorter, but does similar things:
@Test public void testSingleThreadExecutor() throws InterruptedException { AtomicInteger i = new AtomicInteger(0); Future future = Executors.newSingleThreadExecutor().submit(() -> { while (i.incrementAndGet() < 10) ; }); await().atMost(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS).until(() -> i.get() == 10); assertTrue(future.isDone()); }
This time the approach is nearly the same, but there is only one thread which has 'while' loop. Within this loop we can wait for 1 second each time, but this is not necessary in this case. When we submit() Runnable, we receive Future instance. This object lets us tracking job/thread state. If we don't want to do that, we can always execute() thread and let it live aside without our care.
After all we can run both tests. They should pass within less than 10 seconds

Research is a necessary part of an author's vocation. We write often about things we don't know about and need to provide at least a minimum amount of realism to our stories. For the short story I'm working on and more projects set in the same world, I plunged into an ocean of content while trying to do some research.
It started with me checking out "The King In Yellow", an old book of short horror stories that was referenced in the popular HBO show, "True Detective". It's not an amazing book filled with stories that will blow your mind, if anything, the stories are rather mediocre, but his work did inspire many authors, Lovecraft included. At the same time, I was looking over Lovecraft's work and trying to find what may have inspired his unique mythos and tales. I started looking into other authors of the time writing similar things, all with an underlying theme of ancient horrors and beings beyond our comprehension, which, if witnessed, would inspire insanity. The genre is called Cosmic Horror.
It fascinated me. I found that Lovecraft had littered his stories with references to real and imaginary texts, ancient books of magic and he even created the famed "Necronomicon". I don't mean that he wrote "The Necronomicon," but he made it up, thinking up a whole history of the text and referencing it in many of his stories. In fact, there was a group of writers who referenced each other's made-up ancient texts, almost as a way of respecting one another's work and perhaps, showing that they shared a similar world in their own stories.
I learned a great deal, in fact. 'Grimoire' is a word for a book on magic, which is pretty awesome, if you ask me. I also learned that grimoires actually existed, that people thought they could perform magic and wrote books of magic, rituals and steps to summoning demons and the like. That sounds so completely crazy today, a how-to book on magic, written in all seriousness, blew my mind. I mean, if I had thought about it, I suppose I would have realized that people obviously did once believe in magic and why not write a book on it? It's just, in this day and age, that sounds so crazy to me.
Now you might be wondering why am I delving into this old world filled with magic and horror and things. My current project is set in modern day but with the idea that some of what Lovecraft written might be true, there might be Old Things, beyond our comprehension attempting to break into our world, there might be cultists with true grimoires performing sick rituals in an attempt to summon dark beings, and with these things there also comes a ragtag band of people who have been secretly fighting to keep our world together throughout history. Sound cool? I hope so. The short story is sort of a prologue, with novels coming after. The dream is a rotating cast of characters telling stories in first person....and that's as much as I'm going to say, for now.
Research can be incredibly fun for an author, learning things they never would have even got into, otherwise, but it can also be a time sink. You can find your writing time dwindling as you dive further and further into details, history, etc. At some point, you need to say you've seen enough, at least for the time being, and get to writing. You can always edit things later after more research.
If you are a fellow writer, how does research apply to your writing? How much or how little do you do? Does realism matter in a story that much? Does getting certain things right matter or is the story itself enough to keep the reader invested?

When my mum feels she cannot get through to me she will send me a letter. Hence the following letter came this morning in the mail full of guilt-condemnation and pressure towards me along with an Easter Card. I am not happy about this letter at all and I will not address it with her. I refuse to take this guilt on:
Dear JBR,
It is easier to write then to talk to you. I am enclosing article about improving looking for jobs and also some ads from last Sunday's paper.
I am not blaming you but you must have seen that I was shocked that you had no money saved. You don't want to listen to me but I also know that the Lord will provide but He Wants us to be thrifty and think of our old age. You are not getting any younger. About 10 years from retirement but SS alone will not do it. You must start a systematic savings acct as soon as you have an income and make it as high as possible as you have wasted too many years by not saving. The main thing is to be employed! You need to find a job soon and arrange for your later life. I do not know how many years the Lord will give me maybe there will be something left for you and your brother but even that one cannot know. You know I love you and you know I worry even though I speak to my Lord and that helps and you know I want the best for you and your brother, so please take this letter seriously, it's advise that is good and that I have been able to follow as I came to the US with no money but the Lord gave me a brain and I followed His lead. He always had His hand on me even when I was not obedient in my younger years. He knows I never denied Him and love Him. All my love, Mom
It is amazing she starts off saying "I am not blaming you," then goes on blaming me. Everything is a "demand" from her that I "must" do! Pressuring me to find a job is not going to help matters. I have started to look. But, I am not going to become my mum. Guilt and condemnation is not going to cut it with me. Obviously I do not have a brain, but she does.
My heart has tenderized these past few months. So, when the opportunity comes up regarding this letter, I am sure I will not go too ballistic towards my mum like in the past. Lord continue to heal my mum from her fears!

Oh, JBR, I'm so sorry you had to have this. As wrong the hurful words in this letter are, I do think your mom loves you.ReplyDelete
Not one moment of your life has been a waste. Even more than people on this earth love you, the Lord loves you to the highest level you can be loved. He doesn't regret for one moment loving you, and not only that, His love for you is not measured, but is extravagant, and lavish. Let that wash over you today. Ignore the hurt. You are loved my friend!

HAVEN'T HEARD MUCH FROM YOUR MOM IN AWHILE. I GUESS SHE COMES IN SPURTS. JBR YOU'VE NOTHING TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT. SHE'S STILL RELYING ON FEAR IN HER LIFE AND NOT THE GOD SHE CLAIMS TO KNOW. I BELIEVE SHE DOES LOVE YOU. BUT ONLY REACTS OUT OF FEAR.ReplyDelete
Thanks a lot for your always kind words (((JBR)))..and I wish you be free of your mum's shadow that follows you even when you have enough on your plate..hope God helps her to open her eyes..and stops wasting this precious little time we all have to be together.ReplyDelete
God Bless You always
So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Matt.6:31-34ReplyDelete
You are in the care of a loving father who knows your every need...he will provide...no worries :)
Maybe you should send these scriptures in a note to mum...as a loving reminder that you are well cared for.
I have not a savings to speak of here but,the rewards of heaven are not to be compared...
But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 1Tim. 6:8
I know what it is to be a mother and worry for a child,even a grown child...I am asking God to help your mother to turn all her worries and cares over to him...as mothers we can not fix the problems and trials of our children,only God can help with those things...it is then that we must pray and trust him..leaving the fixing to God alone.Loving advice is welcomed I'm sure but,the words must be chosen from wisdom and through prayer. Certainly without words to bring about feelings of quilt and shame...
Surely God is my help; the Lord is the one who sustains me. Psalms 54:4
Blessings dear friend
I meant to type (guilt) NOT,quilt :)ReplyDelete
My heart ached for you as I read your letter. I have been told this crazy saying that I use often. It says to eat the meat and throw out the bones. In the letter, glean the good you can, throw out the bad. Whatever you do, don't chew on the bones and do remember that your approval and affirmation come from your Heavenly Father! Love and peace to you this day my friend!ReplyDelete
So sorry, JBR. My heart is hurting for you.ReplyDelete
Your mother treats you like a child. I wouldn't stand for it.ReplyDelete
((HUGS)) I believe your mother is concerned about your future but she certainly doesn't know how to encourage you. She doesn't see the hurt in here words. I am so sorry.ReplyDelete
JBR I'm sorry. The human tongue can do so much damage. It can ruin friendships, cause misunderstandings and put a wall between mothers and daughters. I don't think your mother is mindful what she says can damage. A lot of what we say is probably best left unsaid. You seem to have a positive attitude which will undoubtedly help when confronted. God Bless.ReplyDelete
Thinking of you, JBR. You are undergoing such a wonderful feat right now by taking controlling of your mind and life. I am confident that your future is going to be a bright one, and most importantly, a future that you have worked hard to create for yourself. You inspire me! xxReplyDelete
first off, ((((JBR)))) hugs to you! I wish I could do it in person. Words of criticism and guilt are not helpful. It seems that what might be best is just putting it aside and dealing with it when the time is right. Whenever I get a letter filled with such a mixed bag I just sit with it and ask myself is there anything I can take from the words and apply it...the serenity prayer says it best; God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference....
my thoughts and prayers are with you!
- AnonymousApril 04, 2012
I don't know your story. So, I cannot draw conclusions. I can only say that I had a rocky relationship with my mother. Your mum's letter sounds Beto one's my mom used to send me. Now, I'm sending them to my own grown child. Because I don't know the history between you and your mom, I could not see the condemnation quite as you do. I see a mother who is desperately meaning well, but has pushed some very sensitive buttons. My mother died, ten years ago. I now see her wisdom, and I thank her for all the financial wisdom she kept banging my head with. Now, I can only hope my own grown child will pick up on it. I pray for healing between you two. Once our parents are gone, we sometimes realize how much they can infuence us. I hope it's well, for you. In his name.ReplyDelete
Being minupulated by guilt is not a fair way of playing. Hoping your mother realizez whats shes doing.ReplyDelete
JBR, I pray that you will turn to the Lord for His leadership in your life and be able to keep your focus on Him. And not let your Mother's desire to control you keep you upset. You are a wonderful person. I'm sorry your mother makes you feel bad about yourself. You have grown and healed so much and God is taking suc good care of you.ReplyDelete
That is hard to take and swallow, but you are doing a very good job at showing mercy.ReplyDelete
From an outsider's point of view, I see a mum who cares for you deeply and is very, very concerned about your future. My mom was like that. The difference is I didn't come from an abusive family so I can see this from a very different angle.
Keep your eyes on Jesus and He will help you through this.
I really wish your Mum could understand what she is doing to you. A mother's love should be without conditions. As a mother myself I just do not understand why she lays a guilt trip on you! Stay strong and realize there are those that love you without laying guilt on you.ReplyDelete
- rcubesApril 04, 2012
There is always balance & no confusion from the Lord. I pray that for you today & for His divine wisdom to always guide you. I could feel your mother's love for you. What's hard is that her worries tend to tip the scale more. May she also have peace in her heart. Take care JBR...God bless.ReplyDelete
Sounds like my Ma. Obviously, she loves you but the way she loves you is killing you. I'm about your age and I know how you feel right now. I've been there. Don't give in to fear. There is a job. It has nothing to do with money or position. It has to do with who God wants you around. All the rest, the bills, the food you put in your mouth, your shelter....He will take care of. You haven't begged yet nor will you. Your needs will be met. Your change of employment is about who God wants you around and who God wants around you. He will take care of you. That is a sure thing. Bless Mum's heart. Help her faith.I appreciate you JBR.ReplyDelete
I appreciate all of your comments, prayers, encouragement, insights, and your own personal experiences.ReplyDelete
I think my mum is at a place now that she has to "tell me her opinion and what to do," but does not go any further than that now. Because I think she realizes that I will not tolerate her controlling me anymore. Stepping over my boundaries.
I spoke with her last night. Thanked her for the Easter Card and there was no mention about the letter. Not saying will not bring it up at another time. Especially if she is having a panicking episode.
But, I think she now knows, if she does not want me to hang up on her, she will let it alone. Just as long as she somehow gets her two cents in without going any further. Time will tell. Thank you again everyone. Blessings and hugs!

Well you're never to old to learn new things. Lately, I've been taking my little sister's advice and taking a copy of my latest book around with me. What's one more thing added to the purse after all? Today that paid off because I sold a copy to someone I was showing it too. I wasn't exactly expecting that, but it made my day. The lady was very much in awe that anyone could write a book.
In fact, looking back on this month, I have to say it was pretty good. I had lots of compliments out of the blue, which was surprising. I always try to be encouraging to people and I guess I really must have helped some of them. That really felt good because I do try to give everything I do my all. That's why I get consumed in all my projects, I guess. I don't mind sharing what I know with others and helping other writers realize their dream of seeing a book in print. I think a creative mind would understand that. Maybe.
I really feel things are starting to turn around for me, so we'll see what October brings besides cooler weather. I have high hopes, but then I am always the eternal optimist, even when things seem bleak. I don't know why I'm that way, but in my mind I live by the mantra "things can always be worse." And indeed they can be if you really think about situations.
My website needs re-doing again, my husband informed me today, but I was thinking about re-doing the whole thing anyway - as soon as I get the time. He had some good ideas that I'm mulling over.
Okay, I need to get off here and get some rest. I need a massage after all the long hours at the computer lately. I'm glad the weekend is coming and I won't have to get up so early. I'm sure some of you know the feeling. It's tough on a night owl. I have to set the alarm for sure when I'd rather throw all the clocks out the window, but that's a whole other subject I can't delve into just now.

Big D
What better way to end the weekend than to leave this dusty city, although this time it's not for volleyball. Alan's running a half-marathon in Dallas on Sunday, which gives us all day Saturday to do whatever, anything! We get to see DeeBee and Caitlin for a short time at Caitlin's soccer game, but after that who knows. We haven't been to the Dallas Museum of Art, so I'm thinking a trip there will satisfy my little-known artsy needs. Or shopping. Shopping could be good. (I think our hotel is close to the Galleria.) Anyway, come 4:00 we're outta here!

Babyface turns 50
Posted by Scott
I couldn't believe it, either. Venerable R&B songwriter/producer Kenny "Babyface" Edmonds is a half-century old. I personally have a soft spot for his '80s pop/R&B work like After 7's "Can't Stop" and Pebbles' "Girlfriend," but neither makes my list of...
8 The Whispers - Rock Steady, 1987
I was going to give this last spot to Eric Clapton's Change the World, because he's a more legendary act, but screw that - Rock Steady is a better song. It's totally '80s, so its sound is quite dated, but just try to listen without singing along.
7 Fall Out Boy - Thks Fr Th Mmrs, 2007
Proving that he hasn't completely disappeared, Face pops up on FOB's latest record. He adds devious-sounding strings to Fall Out Boy's pop sound and helps create a top ten hit.
6 Babyface - Whip Appeal, 1989
In terms of his own solo work, Babyface never topped his 1989 album Tender Lover. Whip Appeal has stood the test of time better than the rest.
5 TLC - Red Light Special, 1994
Babyface gives the trio their sexiest song ever.
4 Madonna - Take a Bow, 1994
Madonna collaborates with Babyface and records the longest-running #1 song of her career.
3 Waiting to Exhale soundtrack, 1995
Face wrote and produced nearly all 16 tracks on this soundtrack, marking his commercial peak.
Video: Brandy, Mary J. Blige, Whitney Houston, CeCe Winans - Exhale Medley (1997 Grammys)
2 Bobby Brown - Roni, 1988
Yes, I own Bobby Brown's 1988 CD Don't Be Cruel, and this is the song I've never been able to stop listening to. The vocal delivery, the cute lyrics about "the sweetest little girl in the whole wide world," the passionate bridge ("once you've had a Roni you will never give her up!"), it all adds up to one of my favorite Babyface-penned tracks.
1 Boyz II Men - Water Runs Dry, 1995
Babyface's most famous collaboration with Boyz II Men is End of the Road, the 1992 song that broke Elvis Presley's 36-year old record for most weeks at #1 on the Billboard chart. But that song is a bit cheesy. Allow me to announce that 10 million people were wrong, and instead declare Water Runs Dry, an acoustic guitar-driven ballad, to be the superior track. Face's production really shines - the Boyz' voices never blended more beautifully than they did here.

"FROM PAGE TO PLAY" – Guest Workshop by Ira Seidenstein, Saturday April 7
Pictured here teaching Slava's Snow Show, Ira Seidenstein has previously worked with Cirque du Soleil, and across the globe with the most enviable checklist of accolades a clown could dare to cry over.
Maybe, you missed Ira, last time he was in Canberra, or maybe you missed him so much since then? Either way, here's your chance, to learn from a world-great, whom the world travels to study with, but with whom you can study, right here.
In this workshop, 'From Page to Play', using snippets of texts from Shakespeare's clowns, you'll dive into the rabbit hole of creativity, and discover carrots of joy, you can apply to improvised theatre play, or any live performance. With just a few lines from The Bard, you can expand and explore a whole playground of true foolery.

Chile mines dodge quake harm, but Collahuasi workers evacuated
Posted: 01 Apr 2014 09:41 PM PDT
SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Mines in world No. 1 copper producer Chile appear to have emerged unscathed from a major quake that struck near the mineral-rich north of the Andean country on Tuesday.
Most mines in quake-prone Chile, which supplies around a third of the world's copper, are designed to withstand tremors.
The Collahuasi copper mine and port did not report any damage, but some workers were evacuated to be with their families following the 8.2-magnitude earthquake.
"We facilitated the descent of people who wanted to be with their families," mine Chief Executive Officer Jorge Gomez told Reuters in an email. The mine is perched high in mountains.
"The port's operations are completely halted because we had to evacuate everyone, as per the authorities' orders."
A joint venture led by Anglo American and Glencore Xstrata, Collahuasi was one of the big mines closest to the epicentre.
State copper miner Codelco and London-listed Antofagasta both said their mines were functioning normally. Teck Resources said its Quebrada Blanca mine was also fine.
World No.1 copper producer Codelco said it had evacuated workers from its Ventanas smelting and refinery operation due to a government-ordered tsunami evacuation order.
It was unclear whether Chile's ports might be damaged, which would harm metal shipments.
"I would expect the largest danger is to infrastructure, namely ports and roads, which could obviously affect exports," said Morgan Stanley analyst Joel Crane in Melbourne.
Benchmark London Metal Exchange (LME) copper prices rose to the highest in three weeks after the quake.
But traders said further gains were likely to be dampened by ample supply and slow demand in China.

Hawaii under tsunami advisory due to earthquake off Chile
Posted: 01 Apr 2014 09:40 PM PDT
(Reuters) - A tsunami advisory has been issued for Hawaii due to a magnitude 8.2 earthquake that struck on Tuesday off the coast of Chile, but no major damage is expected, U.S. officials said.
"Based on all available data, a major tsunami is not expected to strike the state of Hawaii," the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said in a statement.
"However, sea level changes and strong currents may occur along all coasts that could be a hazard to swimmers and boaters as well as to persons near the shore at beaches and in harbours and marinas."
The initial wave from the earthquake off the coast of Chile is expected to reach Hawaii at 3:24 a.m. (9:24 a.m. ET/1324 GMT) local time on Wednesday, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center said.

Chile says five dead following 8.2 magnitude quake
Posted: 01 Apr 2014 09:35 PM PDT
[unable to retrieve full-text content]SANTIAGO (Reuters) - Chile's Interior Minister Rodrigo Penailillo said five people had died following a massive 8.2 quake that struck the north of the Andean country on Tuesday.

Research from Economic Lifestyle reveals that more than 858,000 adults aged between 35 and 64 now have one or both of their parents living in their home.
The phenomenon of 3G families (those with three generations living under the same roof) has been attributed to the financial squeeze faced by the over-65s struggling to maintain a home on low incomes.
Rising council tax and heating bills on top of home maintenance costs plus the possibility that over-65s are suffering from failing health makes it more convenient for them to live with their families.
Currently 4% of households with adults aged between 35 and 64 have their parents living with them. Households in the north of England and London are most likely to have parents living with them some 8% and 7% respectively.
Families in the West Midlands and the south-west of England are least likely to have elderly parents living with them just 2% and 3% respectively, the research shows.
Mark Neal, managing director of Economic Lifestyle, says: "Retired people struggle by on average incomes of around 11,000 and many are even still paying off mortgages. Around one in five pensioners live below the poverty line.
"Financially it makes sense for them to go back to live with their adult children who may be reasonably well-off and able to help them just as they were supported by their parents while they were growing up.
"However it is the case that three generations of a family living under the same roof can lead to tensions. Many families will be happy to have their parents come to live with them but for others it is an arrangement forced on them by financial necessity."
Those aged 35-44 are most likely to have their parents living with them in fact, there are more 3G families in this category than all the others combined.
As the age of the home owner rises the proportion of those living with their parents fall. However the research shows 148,000 adults aged between 55 and 64 have one or both their parents living with them.

Hi there,
This is my 1st post so please bear with me. As im a noob at all this stuff i was after some advice please. I have a 09 FG XR6 (non turbo) and was thinking of getting a flash tune. I was wondering how this works - is a matter of taking my car to my local Dyno and they do it for me or do i have to buy one of those devices and do it my self? Also what can i expect power wise from this - how many KW does it boost my car. Also i was wanting to do my exhaust system as well, is it best to do this before getting a flash tune?? and what are a few other inexpensive things i can do to boost the performance of my vechicle. Any advise would be greatly appreciated

Flash tune, about the best thing I have done to my BA so far. It all depends on how much money you are looking at spending. You need a Flash Tune box first, I believe you can still purchase them at Repco, I bought mine at Repco, but not 100% on that. Call C.A.P.A and find out where they retail they're tune boxes. I had mine tuned at Chiptorque motorsport. Do all of you're minor mods before the tune as well, because everything you do before the tune, will help you're car with its max potential while being tuned. When i got mine done, I had an F6 airbox, KnN panel filter and extractors, now, i cheaped out on my tune, i got a tune they pretty much have for cheap BA drivers as a base tune, BA with extractors an air intake. I would suggest spending the extra and getting them to tune youre car specifically for what it can push out. If you can make heads or tails of what i say, i applaud you haha but with my tune, i didnt get my car on the dyno, so i dont know what the power difference was, but, it makes my car feel like i put the 4.0l into an excel

Ok so i get all my mods that i want to do first, buy a flash unit and have it flashed.. If i want a custom flash do your local Mechanic shop do this with your flash devise or are there speciality places that do this and if it is the latter and as i live in Bendigo Victoria can some one please link me up with places that do this in Victoria.

Woodland Intermediate School Report
To: Michael Green
From: Steven Carney
Date: November 22, 2017
RE: Monthly Report Woodland Intermediate School
Woodland Reads Culminating Event: The Reptile Man
On Wednesday, November 15th, students were treated to a culminating event that marked the completion of our school-wide book read of "The One and Only Ivan." The Reptile Man brought about 20 exotic reptiles from around world as a way to educate students about reptiles and reptile safety. The majority of the reptiles were obtained from local police and animal control agencies. The Reptile Man and his exotic reptiles have found their way into TV commercials, the movie industry, as well as humane training tools known as "Rattlesnake Aversion Training" for over 100 hunting dogs. The students loved the training they received and literally haven't been able to stop talking about it since.
Veteran's Day Assembly
On Thursday, November 9th, students presented a heartwarming and emotionally moving dedication to our local Veterans. Under the direction of Mrs. Linda Morris, students presented songs and poems that explored their love for our country and the men and women who serve or have served in the Armed Forces. All attending Veterans were also given a loaf of bread as a small token of our appreciation for their service.
Leadership Assembly
On Friday, October 27th, students were honored for modeling the Woodland Way, Habit of the Month #1: Be Proactive, and good attendance. On December 8th, students will also be recognized for making significant learning gains based on
Job Corps
Job Corps is a schoolwide opportunity designed to help students build self-esteem, self-efficacy and a sense of belonging and importance within our school community. Students work closely with their Job Corps mentor, receiving acknowledgment for their work and effort. The job corps mentor also provides positive coaching through problems and difficulties.
Students in the Job Corps apply for a job of their choice through an application process. Once hired, the students report to their job and job corps mentor on the days/times required for that job. Job Corps mentors communicate student performance weekly to the Job Corps manager.
Over 200 students currently have a job as part of our Job Corp program at WIS.

Star Trek (2009)
Your ancestors continued a franchise for ten movies; they lost the interest of their audience over the years; I dare you to make the audience give a damn
Your ancestors continued a franchise for ten movies; they lost the interest of their audience over the years; I dare you to make the audience give a damn
I am now officially a fan of Star Trek. It took me a few episodes of the show, one revered sequel, and one reboot to get to this point, but now I finally have an interest in the Trek universe. But how can this be? A longstanding Star Wars fan that is now also a fan of Star Trek? Highly illogical, yet actually this makes sense in retrospect. If Trek was character driven science fiction, then Wars was the action packed counter to Trek's slower pacing. While Star Wars was a much more mainstream series, Star Trek was driven by its cult following of dedicated fans. What director J.J. Abrams has done with this reboot is bring in the crowd pleasing spectacle of Star Wars, yet still keep the same sense of character development and discovery that marked old school Trek. Lets see what the results are.
Plot Synopsis: While traveling through space, the USS Kelvin is suddenly ambushed by ship run by a rogue Romulan named Nero. When the Kelvin's captain leaves to negotiate a truce, he leaves George Kirk as the new captain. The negotiations fail and the Kelvin is destroyed when Kirk sacrifices himself, but not before saving the other 800 crewmembers which include his wife and newborn son James. Flash forward years later, and James is now in his 20s living as a rough and tumble thrill seeker. He is found by Captain Pike, who was one of the crewmembers that George saved on the Kelvin and he wants James to enlist in Star Fleet, to which he reluctantly agrees. When Nero makes another appearance and the newly built starship USS Enterprise is set to take off, Kirk hops aboard the ship, despite his suspension for cheating on the Kobayashi Maru test. Along the way, he meets the likes of Spock, Leonard "Bones" McCoy, Uhura, Chekhov, and Sulu, who'll have to put their differences aside and work together in order to defeat Nero. But wait, where is Scotty?! Don't worry, Scotty does show up, but not until past the one hour mark.
One of the most impressive aspects of this prequel/reboot is its uniformly excellent cast. Every one of the actors, including Chris Pine (Kirk), Zachary Quinto (Spock), Zoe Saldana (Uhura), Karl Urban (Bones), Anton Yelchin (Chekhov), John Cho (Sulu) and Simon Pegg (Scotty), successfully channel the qualities of these decades old characters while not coming off as cheap imitations. Pine, even with his 'pretty boy' looks, makes for an engaging Kirk, showcasing Kirk's bravado and cocky attitude while still keeping him a likable character. Pegg was a great choice to take over Scotty from the late James Doohan. But it is Quinto that steals the show from the rest. Although Spock has always been half Vulcan and half human, the original show never really probed the possibilities of this characterization. Quinto's Spock is a man that wants to be like every other Vulcan, but underneath his cold, logical exterior there is a hot, emotional fire waiting to release itself when his human side comes into play. Kirk and Spock's different natures are at odds with each other most of the time, but over the course of the story they believably grow to understand and respect one another just as they did in the original series.
Another strong point is Eric Bana as the revenge minded Nero. While Bana doesn't quite reach the heights of Ricardo Montalban from The Wrath of Khan, Nero is still a very menacing villain who also has a pretty awesome spaceship to back that up. Making a surprise appearance is Leonard Nimoy, the original Spock himself. While it is great to see that Nimoy can slip right back into those Vulcan ears like he wore them yesterday, the real thrill is how he is written into the plot. He and Nero were both accidentally sent back in time through a black hole for reasons I leave for you to find out, therefore altering the path of time. Basically what director Abrams and his writers Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman have done is find a way to allow this timeline to veer off into its own directions without negating the events of the original timeline. Of course, that doesn't mean that the film can't make several nods to some of the more memorable parts of the original. But rather than having the entire movie be filled with nods, these moments arrive at exactly the right moments and feel genuine, rather than forced. Many of the characters get to recite their classic catchphrases, while hardcore fans will spot some moments that evoke The Wrath of Khan and various other references.
I've mentioned J.J. Abrams several times during this review, but I haven't really talked about why he is so noteworthy. Simply put, he makes Star Trek actually feel fresh and new, despite having to navigate a universe that had been reheated and overexposed so many times that it became a joke. One reason for this freshness is the films faster pacing and concentration on wowing the audience. I'm sure many fans will think that Star Trek has been dumbed down in order to satisfy the masses, but this is not the case, as this action-oriented mindset is precisely why the movie is so damn entertaining while still keeping with the spirit and atmosphere of classic Trek. Michael Giacchino's epic music score is excellent, and Abrams' nimble camera sweeps across massive space battles and close quarters shootouts, increasing the excitement of the moment as we watch the impeccably rendered special effects (finally!!!) work their magic. Yes, Star Trek actually has believable special effects. Praise be to God.
There are a couple of nit picks that I have with the film though. Anton Yelchin could've toned down Chekhov's Russian accent just a little bit, and the way Kirk's birth is handled is kind of heavy handed. Also, Scotty now has an alien friend that, although he isn't particularly annoying in any way, has no purpose at all. And speaking of Scotty, the way he becomes the Enterprise's technician is pretty hard to swallow. Still, these are just minor issues that don't ruin the movie and how it works. Star Trek is grand, operatic science fiction that boldly goes where it has already gone before, and yet still comes out as an immensely entertaining movie in its own right.

I'm not upset that technology is progressing rapidly, but I just bought that iPod shuffle two weeks ago. Today I found out there's a new, even more badass iPod shuffle with more capacity and VoiceOver. No one is at fault here, I'm just mad at Apple for dishing out new and improved products every 3-4 months. Financially, it's impossible for me to keep up.
In a recent article by Chris Anderson (The Long Tail), he states, "the marginal cost of anything digital falls by 50% every year, making pricing a race to the bottom..." How long before iPods are given away for free and we just pay for the content? Let me know so I can stop wasting my money on the damn things.

As much as I hate beating this dead horse I figure this article points out the bigger picture.
Bob Barr's Atlanta Journal-Constitution Article | Independent Political ReportThe degree to which race played a role in the confrontation at Gates house will likely never be truly known to anyone other than the key participants themselves. What clearly did factor into the unfortunate encounter was the notion that, in the post-9/11 world, citizens must be prepared to explain themselves to the police and prove to the satisfaction of the authorities who they are under virtually any circumstance - even within the walls of their own house.
Airline passengers are now required to prove who they are to the satisfaction of government authorities in order to board for a journey they have paid for. Anyone trying to enter a building housing a government office has to show proper identification to gain entry. These and many other manifestations of government control have nothing to do with the legitimate effort to prevent weapons or explosives from being brought onto public conveyances or into government buildings. Legitimate exercises of government power are being employed more and more to control behavior and limit individual freedom.

For those of you following my blog, Tess and I were successful in our midnight food raid. We polished off a half bag of potato chips and a bowl of Frosted Flakes and a box of Milk Duds. Grimmeys, I can't believe I ate all of that but I did. Tess did not get any chocolate in case you were wondering. I think she is happy that my appetite is returning.
So my plan of cutting my Oxycontin to half amounts is working and I take a ½ perco as needed. Good, but I can't let my pain get ahead of me….meaning, I have to take a pain pill before the pain starts. If I don't, I pay for it big time.
I had my morning meds and had cereal and coffee. I also had a piece of pepperoni for breakfast. We got fresh pepperoni from a local cow so it was tasty. Hey, I was hungry and it looked good in the Fridge!!
So we did our first walk to the barn and fed some sheep. Tess must have felt that I was well enough to toss her ball as she flung it in front of me and once on my legs. So I obliged and tossed it for her.
Today, I felt quite good. I had expected to feel tired as the day before I was busy all day. This is a good sign that I wasn't tired. I folded a basket of laundry, loaded the dishwasher, washed some dishes and cleaned the kitchen.
Then I wandered outside and fixed the electric fence. I had to add new wire and put some ground wires in. Then since I had the shears in my hands, I then cut down a wild rose and blackberries that had overrun the back lawn tree near the backdoor.
Word to the wise, do not cut blackberries or wild rose, while wearing shorts. I managed to get a bazillion cuts on my fingers and legs but I didn't care. I was doing something!!
Lunch was Tempura leftover and I made a rice plate (Rice of Roni). I didn't even share with the dogs as I wolfed that down. I took another walk and spoiled Kael. I am baby sitting him for Audrey and want to make sure he is sufficiently spoiled when she comes back and gets him.
So by now, I realized it would be a good time to take a ½ perco since I was so active. The bending down of loading the dishwasher also put a strain on my chest.
Then I decide it was a nap time so Tess, Nan and I crawled into bed. Tess lay next to me with her head next to mine. Her body was next to mine. Nan had cuddled next to my legs. I just had fallen asleep when I felt Tess get up. She sniffed my face and then gently licked my arm and then finished sniffing me all over. She then very carefully crossed over me and slept next to me with her head on her own pillow. She wanted to make sure that I was all ok before she went to her favorite sleep spot. Nan held her spot next to my legs.
The nap was great and I woke up refreshed. Jeff came home and we had leftover steaks and Tempura. It's nice to want to eat. Hey, I am 114 lbs now!! Two weeks ago I was 104 lbs!!
I got my nightly phone call from Nelson and I updated him on what I did today. A few years ago, he had gotten into a head on accident and he had a broken collar bone, and other injuries. So we can compare our healing process. It took him a long time for his chest to heal. So it is nice to see how my progress is compared to his. I have to make sure I push myself but not hard enough to set me back. I think he was pleased that I actually did something useful today. Beside eat and watch TV.
I had my nightly dessert. It was ice cream with hot fudge and caramel. I added extra sauce and Jeff put an extra scoop of ice cream. I gave Nan the bowl to lick, after making sure there was no chocolate. Then we watched "The good, the Bad and the Ugly" and Nan was on the couch next to me. She even got silly and rolled on her back and wanted her belly scratched. So I did!!
I looked over my blog and realized how far that I had come. From asking my mom to help me with everything to being able to fix my electric fence. I still have my limits, nothing over 5 lbs, no work using my arms above my shoulder or below my waist and so forth. But as time goes by I can do much more.
I am no longer writing on how much pain I have or how little I can eat or how I struggle just to breathe. Now I can write about the things in life that are important. Soon this will be a phase in my life and I will be well.
Ok, I will be well after my next surgery BUT that will be a lot simpler surgery. And it will be done soon and I will be at the post soon. That will be a grand day indeed.
