Java Developer CV/Resume Update
URLConnection HowTo
This subject is pretty often asked here and the Sun tutorial is too concise about the subject. So I thought, let's post a CW question and answer about this so that it can if necessary be referenced in other topics. Others are of course free to add more hints and best practices here.
Java-Erlang Bridging
Java and Erlang are not mutually exclusive, they complement each other. I personally have learned to embrace both because very few complex business problems can be modeled exclusively from an object oriented or functional paradigm. The solutions to these problems can be sequential or concurrent. Jinterface can cleanly divide (and conquer) a system into parts suitable for Java and parts suitable for Erlang.
There are two basic mechanisms for communicating with Erlang, described briefly here. Note that the two mechanisms are not intended to be used together. Which mechanism you choose depends on your application and the level of control it needs.
You can use OtpNode, which can manage incoming and outgoing connections for you. With OtpNode a thread is automatically started to listen for incoming connections, make necessary outgoing connections, and dispatch messages to their recipients. OtpNode supports the concept of mailboxes, allowing you to have several Java components communicating independently with Erlang.
If you need more control (but less support from the library), you can manage connections yourself using the OtpSelf and OtpConnection classes, in which case you can control explicitly which connections are made and which messages are sent. Received messages are not dispatched by OtpConnection.
The classes OtpPeer, OtpSelf and OtpServer are used to represent OTP nodes and are neccessary in order to set up communication between the Java thread and a remote node. Once a connection has been established, it is represented by an OtpConnection, through which all communication goes.

Build Tools : Proguard
ProGuard is a free Java class file shrinker, optimizer, obfuscator, and preverifier. It detects and removes unused classes, fields, methods, and attributes. It optimizes bytecode and removes unused instructions.
The proguard-maven-plugin is maven2 plugin to execute ProGuard
The Maven Way (continued)
I am trying to migrate a Java application built by Ant to Maven2. among other the build perform the following operations: 1) Running a javadoc doclet to find annotated Java files to be externalize later as web services 2) compile a small part of the code for step 3 3) run Axis java2wsdl on the compiled code from step 2 4) produce java code with wsdl2java on the wsdl files from step 3 5) compile the entire code when trying to "mavenize" the process I can accomplish each task at a time but fail to achieve them all in that order.
Steps 2-3/4 sound like they should be in a separate module. If you move them to a separate module (or two) you can leave things like the compiler plugin bound to the compile phase. By trying to keep things as a single module you are fighting Maven.... and that is not "the Maven Way"... you will have a much easier time if you give in and put them in a separate module.
В общем, мое мнение в целом не поменялось - "плакали, кололись, но продолжали...". Ничего лучше интегрированного с метаданными проекта и зависимостей пока вроде бы не придумали. Достаточно сделать в продукте несколько killer features, и несколько достаточно серьезных просчетов в юзабельности можно попросту игнорировать.
IntelliJ project metadata sharing practices
Since *.iws file stores your personal preferences, it should not be placed under version control. On the contrary, the project and module files (*.ipr and *.iml) store project-wide settings, and should be shared.
The files that store local settings (workspace.xml and tasks.xml), should not be placed under version control. All the other settings files should be shared.
Lingering Close and Http 1.1 Expect: continue
Необходимо заметить, что ограничение размера числом больше 1M будет работать не всегда. Дело в том, что около 20% всех запросов выполняется через прокси-сервера Squid, в которых по умолчанию стоит ограничение на 1M (директива request_body_max_size) и его очень редко меняют. В отличие от Apache Squid после передачи сообщения о 413 ошибке сразу же закрывает соединение.
В стандарте HTTP/1.1 для закачивания файлов предусмотрен заголовок браузера "Expect: continue", в ответ на который сервер может вернуть сообщение об ошибке или же ответить кодом "HTTP/1.1 100 Continue", после чего браузер может передавать тело запроса. Однако ни один из современных браузеров это не поддерживает.
Swing Hacks
Swing Hacks will show you how to extend Swing's rich component set in advanced and sometimes non-obvious ways. The book touches upon the entire Swing gamut-tables, trees, sliders, spinners, progress bars, internal frames, and text components. Detail is also provided on JTable/JTree, threaded component models, and translucent windows. You'll learn how to filter lists, power-up trees and tables, and add drag-and-drop support.
Swing Hacks will show you how to do fun things that will directly enhance your own applications. Some are visual enhancements to make your software look better. Some are functional improvements to make your software do something it couldn't do before. Some are even just plain silly, in print only to prove it could be done. The book will also give you give you a small glimpse of the applications coming in the future. New technology is streaming into the Java community at a blistering rate, and it gives application developers a whole new set of blocks to play with.
Steve Ballmer
Steve Ballmer has been CEO of Microsoft since 2000. During his tenure, Microsoft came out with Windows Vista, perhaps the most unsuccessful operating system in modern history (Windows ME doesn't count, since Microsoft's core customer base was using NT/2000); it tried a "Microsoft inside" strategy in digital music and, when that failed, launched the Zune, which also failed; it watched Firefox (and Safari and Chrome) eat a large chunk of its lunch in Internet browsers, the application most people use more than everything else put together; it launched Windows Live, a marketing strategy with no noun behind it, which completely flopped at whatever it was supposed to do; it got blown away in Internet search to the point where it had to re-launch as Bing, a plucky underdog; and in mobile phones, which everyone has known for a decade would be the next big thing, it stuck with its bloated, awkward Windows Mobile for far too long, letting everyone (RIM, Apple, Google, and even Palm) pass it by to the point where it has no customer base left. (BlackBerry rules the corporate market, Microsoft's traditional stomping grounds.) Recently I saw a headline saying that Microsoft is going to try to relaunch Hotmail to make it cool. Really, why bother?
Ubuntu Music Store
In Ubuntu 10.04 LTS we have launched a new music service called the Ubuntu One Music Store. It's a really cool place to go and buy tracks from the world's biggest bands. The Ubuntu One Music Store is a cloud-enabled digital music store. Purchases are first transferred to your Ubuntu One personal cloud and then automatically downloaded to all of your computers. We give all customers 2 GB of free cloud storage.
To contribute to the charity all you have to do is buy a track at the normal cost. That's it. Canonical will give away 50% of our take of the revenue up to a total of $1004. You can of course directly contribute to the charity if you prefer.
Log4J supports SMTP+SSL appenders?..
Since 1.2.16, SMTP over SSL is supported by setting SMTPProtocol to "smpts".
Spring provides HandlerExceptionResolvers to ease the pain of unexpected exceptions occurring while your request is being handled by a controller which matched the request. HandlerExceptionResolvers somewhat resemble the exception mappings you can define in the web application descriptor web.xml. However, they provide a more flexible way to handle exceptions. They provide information about what handler was executing when the exception was thrown. Furthermore, a programmatic way of handling exception gives you many more options for how to respond appropriately before the request is forwarded to another URL (the same end result as when using the servlet specific exception mappings).
Instead of only redirecting to an error page, you could also put these exceptions in a database, so you have a list of the most common ones that occur. Joel and Jeff mention that they do this for StackOverflow, and that list becomes part of their bugs-to-fix list.
Сбор требований
«Product owner (он же Product Manager) - это человек, отвечающий за разработку продукта»
Что не может не радовать. Скажем так — это здорово и очень правильно выделять роль product manager. Многие методологии запросто игнорируют аспект управления требованиями, предполагая, что они, непротиворечивые и полные, как бэ даны нам свыше.
Что, естественно, нихрена не так. И даже - ровно наоборот. Термин «сбор требований», иногда встречающийся в литературе — отражает это недопонимание. Требования — не грибы, чтобы лениво разгуливая по лесу, увидев его, сказать: «О! Требование!», сорвать, и положить его в корзину. Они больше напоминают редкоземельный металл, добываемый нечеловеческим, рабским трудом в «этих проклятых рудниках» (кхе-кхе).
D. Agans : Debugging
When the pressure is on to root out an elusive software or hardware glitch, what's needed is a cool head courtesy of a set of rules guaranteed to work on any system, in any circumstance. Written in a frank but engaging style, Debugging provides simple, foolproof principles guaranteed to help find any bug quickly. This book makes those shelves of application-specific debugging books (on C++, Perl, Java, etc.) obsolete. It changes the way readers think about debugging, making those pesky problems suddenly much easier to find and fix.
Illustrating the rules with real-life bug-detection war stories, the book shows readers how to:
* Understand the system: how perceiving the "roadmap" can hasten your journey
* Quit thinking and look: when hands-on investigation can't be avoided
* Isolate critical factors: why changing one element at a time can be an essential tool
* Keep an audit trail: how keeping a record of the debugging process can win the day
FlockDB : Practices
Lessons learned
Some helpful patterns fell out of our experience, even though they weren't goals originally:
* Use aggressive timeouts to cut off the long tail.
You can't ever shake out all the unfairness in the system, so some requests will take an unreasonably long time to finish — way over the 99.9th percentile. If there are multiple stateless app servers, you can just cut a client loose when it has passed a "reasonable" amount of time, and let it try its luck with a different app server.
* Make every case an error case.
Or, to put it another way, use the same code path for errors as you use in normal operation. Don't create rarely-tested modules that only kick in during emergencies, when you're least likely to feel like trying new things. We queue all write operations locally (using Kestrel as a library), and any that fail are thrown into a separate error queue. This error queue is periodically flushed back into the write queue, so that retries use the same code path as the initial attempt.
* Do nothing automatically at first.
Provide lots of gauges and levers, and automate with scripts once patterns emerge. FlockDB measures the latency distribution of each query type across each service (MySQL, Kestrel, Thrift) so we can tune timeouts, and reports counts of each operation so we can see when a client library suddenly doubles its query load (or we need to add more hardware). Write operations that cycle through the error queue too many times are dumped into a log for manual inspection. If it turns out to be a bug, we can fix it, and re-inject the job. If it's a client error, we have a good bug report.
Some of UI primitives
The Apple Human Interface Guidelines officially refer to it as the "spinning wait cursor". Its colloquial names include "spinning wheel of death", "beach ball of death", "hypnowheel", "spinning pizza", "spinning pinwheel", "pinwheel of death", "rainbow ball of doom", "the beach ball of hell", "spinning beach ball of death", "pin wheel of death", "rainbow wheel of death" and "marble of doom". The suffix "of death" in these names is a reference to Microsoft Windows' Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), which also leads to the acronym "SPOD" for "spinning pinwheel of death" or "spinning pizza of death," commonly used in mailing lists such as Mac-L. The suffix 'of doom' is also commonly used.
JQuery : Split button widgets
* easyui is a collection of user-interface plugin based on jQuery.
* using easyui you don't need to write lots of javascript code, you usually define user-interface by writing some HTML markup.
* easyui is very easy but powerful
jQuery UI features low-level effect and interaction API's (like drag and drop) as well as full-featured and highly configurable ready-to-use widgets.

As previously mentioned, the Mini 5101 features a rugged anodized aluminum display enclosure with a black, brushed metal finish and a magnesium alloy chassis. The metal construction really gives the Mini 5101 the feeling of being a premium ultraportable notebook rather than a typical netbook.
From the first moment I picked up the HP ProBook 5310m to the last minute while writing this review I kept thinking, "Why didn't HP release this ProBook sooner?" Honestly, if HP had released this notebook at the beginning of 2009 then every other SMB notebook manufacturer would be running scared by now. Unfortunately, HP released several less-than-spectacular ProBooks before this one, and that will probably make some potential buyers overlook this excellent business laptop. The ProBook 5310m finally delivers on HP's original goal to create a more affordable EliteBook.

Styling upload inputs
Fortunately, reader Michael McGrady invented a very neat trick that allows us to (more or less) style file upload fields. The credits for the solution presented on this page are wholly his, I only added the position: relative, a few notes and tests, and ported it entirely to JavaScript.
The problem is I want to use Ajax Upload or something similar to allow the user to click what looks like a button and see the File chooser appear. This works by placing an invisible file-input element under the mouse. I have managed to change the script to allow you to TAB to the hidden file-input element and for this to trigger a CSS change so the fake button looks like it has focus, the upshot being that, on browsers other than IE7, it looks to the user as if you can tab to the button and activate it as you would expect.
Velocity + Spring = ISO-8859-1
Try to add in your dispatcher-servlet.xml, at viewResolver bean definition a contentType definition like this:...
<property name="contentType" value="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
I'm such an idiot.
Expander Exaggerations
Now don't get me wrong, the Zig-Zag Product is swell, it's Annals of Math-worthy, and it's inspired a lot of recent work, both in expander constructions and elsewhere (e.g., Reingold's SL = L theorem). However, the story I sometimes heard as to why it was cool was that it was the first explicit expander construction that was actually understandable; that you didn't have to know lots of deep number theory to verify the proof; that all other previously known constructions used zaniness like Weil sums, Ramanujan conjectures, Kazhdan constants and whatnot. But as you probably know, this is an exaggeration; it's really not so.
Get Real
Want to build a successful web app? Then it's time to Get Real. Getting Real is a smaller, faster, better way to build software.
* Getting Real is about skipping all the stuff that represents real (charts, graphs, boxes, arrows, schematics, wireframes, etc.) and actually building the real thing.
* Getting real is less. Less mass, less software, less features, less paperwork, less of everything that's not essential (and most of what you think is essential actually isn't).
* Getting Real is staying small and being agile.
* Getting Real starts with the interface, the real screens that people are going to use. It begins with what the customer actually experiences and builds backwards from there. This lets you get the interface right before you get the software wrong.
* Getting Real is about iterations and lowering the cost of change. Getting Real is all about launching, tweaking, and constantly improving which makes it a perfect approach for web-based software.
* Getting Real delivers just what customers need and eliminates anything they don't.

Программисты: Эволюционный подход
Я тут смотрела фотки с нового года для детей сотрудников и поняла - основой нового общества станут программисты. То есть, как после атомного взрыва выживут тараканы и крысы, так после постмодернизма, "смерти взрослых", социетального кризиса и окончательного исчезновения реальности выживут программисты. Я практически уверена. Они будут господствующей разумной формой жизни на Земле, потому что, именно они обладают всеми признаками обеспечивающими выживание.
Во-первых, программисты это одна из немногих социальных групп, которые сейчас производят продукт. Причем продукт такой, без которого современный мир существовать не в состоянии. А как мы помним из Смита и Маркса - продукт это архиважная фигня, и тот, у кого он есть практически не может продуть в борьбе за блага.

Apache Pivot
Apache Pivot is an open-source platform for building rich internet applications in Java. It combines the enhanced productivity and usability features of a modern RIA toolkit with the robustness of the Java platform. Pivot applications are written using a combination of Java and XML and can be run either as an applet or as a standalone, optionally offline, desktop application.
Like other modern development platforms, Pivot provides a comprehensive set of foundation classes that together comprise a "framework". These classes form the building blocks upon which more complex and sophisticated applications can be built.
Sun Web Application Guidelines
This document was created by a set of user interface designers, usability specialists, and visual designers, to outline a usable web application look and feel that can be followed consistently throughout a product line. We created it originally for use within Sun Microsystems, to be used for the web applications built here. However, we would like to share these guidelines with anyone else who may benefit from them for creating their own web applications. While some of the guidelines refer to Sun-specific elements and contexts, we are confident that you, the reader, will be able to interpret how they can be reapplied to your applications. We hope you find these guidelines valuable, and wish you success in creating your own powerful and highly usable web applications, building on these usability-tested and carefully designed guidelines.
JQuery flash-free upload plugins
* Those below are not JQuery-dependent, but still quite interesting...
fileuploadarea Uses the new File API supported by Firefox 3.6. Enables you to target any html element and turn it into a hotspot for receiving files from the file explorer! Each file will be sent as a binary AJAX-request with customizable GET params. Includes support for callbacks to track the progress and completion of the file. >>>
LightLoader This employs a similar method to what is found in the GMail file upload, using a hidden IFRAME to post the file and AJAX to check the progress. There is also a tester script in the zip file for you to upload to your server to make sure that you have all the settings correct. Instructions are also in the zip file. >>>
* Couple of upload components with extended features and/or file management mix-ins, AFAICS require perl backend.
XUpload is an advanced upload progress bar indicator for web based file uploads written on Perl. XUpload lets you to accept file uploads on your website and shows upload progress bar which is showing upload progress in real-time. >>>
FileChucker is an AJAX-based web application that lets you accept file uploads on your own website. It's simple to install, packed with features, fully configurable, nice looking, and very handy for when you want to share files with anyone. And during uploads FileChucker shows a progress bar & table, so the user knows how much time is left before the upload is complete. >>>

Tools update
Freemind has been forked off to Freeplane. Not sure which project is better, but I guess the *plane deserves looking into.
Currently I have some troubles with Freemind as our team moved to 0.9.1 while I am still using some 0.8.x release (ubuntu repos do not offer me any newer ones).
Well, I am not that sure that Freeplane would help me with that version class, but it's still worth a try.
CodeBubbles : one of the weirdest Java IDEs I've ever seen. I was thinking towards something similar, yeah (as many others of course did)...
This looks quite like some middle ground between textual and visual programming language representations. Some visual weirdos were proposed in academia but AFAIK none survived to wider use in the industry. At least there was a great taxonomy of PLs in wikipedia and a dedicated section on the visual PLs, which is an interesting read. Personally me thinks that some notation change might be very promising, as text does not scale up well, especially for specifications, code or any other interdependent, non-linear structures. This is of course completely open-ended area, with lots of usability/cognitive/ergonomics factors to take care of...
And of course the new Idea 10 is out. I'm a bit reluctant to upgrade as my licence to Idea 8 (which turned to be free license to Idea 9) would be kinda useless. Oh, I just shall wait till JetBrains offers a free upgrade to 11 from 10! Maybe some Scala or Velocity plugin upgrade would force me, but, It looks quite nice anyway, with lots of polyglot syntax closures and so on and on and on...
As for free project hosting: there's a BitBucket project which offers roughly as much as Unfuddle does, but with limit of 5 accounts not 2. Maybe BitBucket has only Mercurial support, while Unfuddle has git/SVN support? Not sure this is an issue though (for noobs hg/git is more demanding log-wise while svn is less forgiving merge-wise). Another consideration: BitBucket offers free unlimited hosting for OSS projects, while Unfuddle does not. BTW, Revelation uses BitBucket, too. And yes, I know about assembla and google code options.

'Who's making personal remarks now?' the Hatter asked triumphantly.
Alice did not quite know what to say to this: so she helped herself to some tea and bread-and-butter, and then turned to the Dormouse, and repeated her question. 'Why did they live at the bottom of a well?'
The Dormouse again took a minute or two to think about it, and then said, 'It was a treacle-well.'
'There's no such thing!' Alice was beginning very angrily, but the Hatter and the March Hare went 'Sh! sh!' and the Dormouse sulkily remarked, 'If you can't be civil, you'd better finish the story for yourself.'
'No, please go on!' Alice said very humbly; 'I won't interrupt again. I dare say there may be ONE.'
'One, indeed!' said the Dormouse indignantly. However, he consented to go on. 'And so these three little sisters—they were learning to draw, you know—'
'What did they draw?' said Alice, quite forgetting her promise.
'Treacle,' said the Dormouse, without considering at all this time.
'I want a clean cup,' interrupted the Hatter: 'let's all move one place on.'
He moved on as he spoke, and the Dormouse followed him: the March Hare moved into the Dormouse's place, and Alice rather unwillingly took the place of the March Hare. The Hatter was the only one who got any advantage from the change: and Alice was a good deal worse off than before, as the March Hare had just upset the milk-jug into his plate.

If you are looking to get into shape by starting a running or walking program, you may be wondering which cardio exercise is better for you. Both running and walking are great ways to lose weight and achieve overall health, but if you are looking to attain certain fitness goals, one activity might better for you than the other.
Get Running
When most people decide they want to lose weight or get into shape, they start running. There is no doubt that running is great exercise and you don't need fancy equipment or a gym membership to do it. Just invest in a good pair of running shoes
that will help prevent injuries, and you will be on your way. Studies have shown that running is the better exercise for weight loss, because people expend two and a half times more energy than walking. This means that a 160 pound person can burn around 800 calories an hour while running. In contrast, walking only burns about 300 calories an hour. Another study shows that running controls our appetite hormones better than walking. Just remember, there is more risk for injuries when you run, including runner's knee, hamstring strains, and shin splints.
Walk it Off
If you prefer to take things slow, or an injury prevents you from running, you can still get a great workout from walking. You can walk at a brisk pace (4 mph) while using hand and ankle weights. This is comparable to jogging at 5 mph without the added weight.
If you're walking on a treadmill, raise your incline periodically to burn more calories. If you prefer to walk outdoors, try to pick an area where there is variation in the terrain like hills and inclines.
You Can't Lose
No matter which workout you choose, you will be getting into shape and achieving better health. Regular cardio can give you more energy, boost your mood, and help you lose or maintain a healthy weight.
Make sure to consult your physician or medical practitioner before beginning any exercise regimen. Here's to sitting less and moving more!
Neighbors Emergency Center offers 24 hour care, 365 days a year, and our board certified emergency physicians can treat all medical emergencies. We know you're time is important, so we will treat you quickly and effectively so you can get back to doing what you love. Our emergency centers are located in the Houston area. If you are looking for a quality emergency room with little to no wait time, come to Neighbors Emergency Center.

|Wait... Coldplay? Yep. Coldplay.
Yesterday we looked at the honourable mentions, but now it's time for the real deal; the top songs of 2011! It's Bjork vs PJ Harvey; Kasabian vs Kaiser Chiefs; Lady Gaga vs Lykke Li... and so on and so forth. From established big name acts to emerging new talent, 2011 has given us so much quality music that cutting it down to 111 songs proved to be nearly impossible. Clearly it wasn't impossible though because, you know, here we are. Countdown... commence!!!
#111 - Ain't Nobody
by Clare Maguire
Meet me in the red sky and dance with me,
Let the valley change you and the night set you free.
#110 - It's Nice to Be Alive
by Ball Park Music
I'd prefer your enthusiasm, while you're here with me...
Australia can be proud of its contributions to pop music in 2011. You had breakthrough years for Gotye, Seeker Lover Keeper and Cut Copy (to name just a few) as well as exciting new acts like Boy and Bear, San Cisco and Brisbane's own, Ball Park Music! Hopefully all of these acts can make a big impact on the Triple J Hottest 100.
#109 - Under Cover of Darkness
by The Strokes
And I'm tired of all your friends, listening at your door,
And I want what's better for you.
#108 - Princess of China
by Coldplay ft. Rihanna
I could've been a Princess, You'd be a King,
Could've had a castle and worn a ring but no, you let me go.
#107 - Paradise
by Coldplay
This could be para-para-paradise...
Sure, I thought Mylo Xyloto was an overrated mess, but that doesn't mean I can't admit that 'Paradise' and 'Princess of China' are both pop gems in their own right. 'Paradise' lands one spot higher on the strength of Mat Whitecross' fun video.
#106 - On the Floor
by Jennifer Lopez ft. Pitbull
Don't stop keep it moving,
Put your drinks up.
With the success of 'On the Floor,' J.Lo can afford as many tacos and burritos as she wants. With her judging position on American Idol, the sexiest woman in the world was able to mount one of the biggest comebacks of the year. Despite Pitbull's ridiculous rap (seriously... "back it up like a tonka truck"), 'On the Floor' remains a monster dance hit and definitely the best thing Lopez has released in a long, long time. La-la-la-la-la... la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-laaaaaaa.
#105 - Pumped Up Kicks
by Foster the People
I reason with my cigarette,
And say your hair's on fire, you must have lost your wits, yeah.
Eddie Vedder gave us 'Jeremy,' Foster the People give us 'Pumped Up Kicks.' Sigh.
#104 - Read All About It
by Professor Green ft. Emeli Sande
I want to sing, I wanna shout,
I wanna scream till the words dry out.
#103 - Around My Head
by Cage the Elephant
Are you on the flip side?
#102 - Warpaint
by Warpaint
In like a dull knife, pulls out all the stops,
I fall out like time running out.
Criminally underrated probably isn't a strong enough way to sum up how Warpaint have been received. Los Angeles' most exciting new act should be riding a wave of success right now and you know the best way to make that happen? Go out and get their album The Fool!
#101 - Rumour Has It
by Adele
She, she ain't real, she ain't gon' be able to love you like I will,
She is a stranger, you and I have history or don't you remember?
Sure, she's got it all, but baby is that really what you want?
You just knew the most successful artist of the year was going to show up at some stage. Adele's presence in 2011 has been undeniable as she's stayed in the top five of album charts worldwide for virtually an entire year. With incredible tracks like 'Rumour Has It' you can see why. This bluesy-stomper of a song isn't the defining moment of 21, but it still manages to work its way into your head and stay there. For a long time. Catchy pop music has never sounded better than in the capable hands (and voice) of Adele. Rumour has it you'll be seeing a whole lot more of her on the countdown.

The Grand Hotel a Villa Feltrinelli will open for the season on April 13th. This 21-room fairytale Villa on the shores on the shores of Lake Garda offers a luxurious lakeside living experience replicating a stay at a private home. From croquet matches on the Villa's ground to boating excursions on Italy's largest lake to such small touches as complimentary laundry and mini bar, the Villa offers a rare Italian house party experience.
For those who want to enjoy the area, a number of options exist. One lakeside experience takes place on Villa Feltinelli's own boat, "La Contessa," reminiscent of a classic 1920s Riva boat. This 52-foot pleasure craft was commissioned in a local boat yard by the villa and is the largest privately owned boat on the lake. The hotel offers excursions on La Contessa through Lake Garda in the Gardone region. While cruising on Italy's largest lake, guests can glimpse historic villas only seen from the water, ancient limonaia structures and beautiful rural scenery. La Contessa can frequently be seen shuttling guests to and from favorite lakeside restaurants. From September 9-11, guests can watch the "Centomiglia" the largest sailing race in Europe, from the shores of Lake Garda.
For the adventurous visitors, a scenic 3-mile hike leads from the edge of Lake Garda to the charming village of San Michele. Curious travellers will also love visiting Villa Vittoriale, once the private estate of Italian poet and military adventurer Gabriele D'Annunzio, now notable for its eccentric Italian Art Deco interior.
Few people can visit Italy without taking advantage of the country's culture, namely a requisite visit to the opera or a tour of the region's architectural treasures. About 45 minutes east of the villa by car, the city of Verona gives guests the opportunity to see the popular opera (from June 24, 2006 to August 27, 2006) and visit architectural landmarks like an ancient Roman theater and a restored Renaissance palazzo. A fascinating study in history, the city of Verona dates back to the time of the ancient Romans and is the setting for Shakespeare's immortal romance, "Romeo and Juliet." where one can still observe the balcony where the courtship took place.
To take sightseeing a step further, guests may employ the services of the villa's personal guide, Chiara Garioni. A native of Gargnano, Garioni is extremely knowledgeable of the region's history including the city of Salo, an area that once served as Mussolini's puppet republic. She is available to guide guests to pre-historic sites, secret gardens, antique markets, cultural sites, historic city centers, and vineyards, among many other attractions.
Located in the Lombardy region of Northern Italy miles away from the bustle of city life, Villa Feltrinelli remains comfortably secluded in what the writer D.H. Lawrence deemed "one of the most beautiful places on earth." An 1892 neo-gothic mansion set on eight acres of lakefront property, the hotel opened in 2001 and is a product of Bob Burns, founder of Regent International Hotels and a dedicated devotee of elegant hotels.
Room rates range from 700 to 2800 Euros (April and October) and from 980 to 3100 Euros (May through September).

New Delhi: Erapalli Prasanna feels it would be tough for India to progress beyond the Cricket World Cup quarterfinals with the bowling line-up they possess, adding that the lack of a leg-spinner in the squad will make the going only tougher for the defending champions.
"It remains to be seen how many spinners feature in the playing XI. I wish there was a leg-spinner in the squad so there was a combination of a leg and off-spinner. But unfortunately that option is not there," the spin great told PTI.
"Anyway the biggest concern for the team is bowling. Unless and until they finalise the combination of pace and spin, it will be extremely difficult for the team to progress beyond the quarterfinals. The format is such they should at least reach the last eight," said Prasanna, a member of the famous spin quartet comprising Bishan Singh Bedi, S Venkataraghavan and B S Chandrasekhar.
Though India had included leggies Karn Sharma and Amit Mishra in the 30-World Cup probables, eventually off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin alongside left-arm tweakers Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja made the final-15.
Jadeja is also among the players whose fitness is under a cloud as India struggle to finalise their combination before the tournament opener against Pakistan at Adelaide on February 15.
The pitches tend to favour the faster bowlers more than spinners in Australia and New Zealand but the surface at Adelaide, Hamilton and Sydney offer assistance to the slower bowlers.
Prasanna, a master at foxing the batsmen with his guile and flight, fears the predictability in the attack could cost India dear.
"If you look at the way they (Patel, Ashwin, Jadeja) bowl, they all are bringing the ball in... To me, Patel and Jadeja are the left-arm leg break bowlers. It is unlikely they will turn the ball enough to leave the bat. It is not a natural leg spin option they have.
"A right-arm leg-spinner with the use of his wrist will always turn the ball away more than left-arm spinners. With the spinners we have, it is impossible to take the ball away like a leg-spinner.
"Only Jadeja, I don't know how fit he is, is capable of turning the ball away and that too if he bowls slower than what he has been of late," said the 74-year-old.
Patel mainly relies on bowling flatter through the air, be it for wickets or the containment job. Prasanna reckons that approach won't work for the tenacious 21-year-old.
"It is up to the team management what they want from him (Patel), whether it is focusing on taking wickets or containing runs.
"I don't think that approach (of bowling flat) will help. When the going is tough, it will be very hard for him to stop the runs. If you ball 10 overs and take no wickets, it won't be of much use to the team," concluded Prasanna.

Buying at Police Seized Car Auctions
Have you been giving thought to perhaps taking advantage of the incredible deals you've heard about when it comes to buying at police seized car auctions? Well, you're not alone. Practically everyone has heard about these police seized car auctions, and the often amazing buys available through them. And, practically everyone, if asked, expresses an interest in taking part in one of these police seized car auctions. But, when also asked, very few people will say that they every actually have attended a police seized car auction, or have any solid plans to do so in the future. So, why all the interest but not much follow through? The fact of the matter is, people know these police seized car auctions are out there and are taking place, but very few people know much about them — when they take place, or how they, themselves, might be able to participate.
In this article, I'm going to do my best to try and provide you with some of the information you'll need to know regarding how police seized car auctions work and how attending one can potentially land you a truly killer deal on a quality automobile.
First off, it's important to realize that each police seized car auction that might be taking place at any given location will have specifics regarding that particular auction which must be taken into account by interested attendees. There's really no way to properly apprise yourself of these specifics for each particular auction other than to contact the party organizing the auctions and finding out the specific information directly from them. With that said, however, the information contained in this article should provide you with some general, yet very helpful insights to aid you in locating such auctions, and what you'll generally need to know before participating.
Buying at police seized car auctions is one of the best methods available to obtain quality used (and sometimes new) vehicles at severely discounted prices. A lot of folks seem to think that the only types of automobiles that are regularly offered up at such auctions are actually old, decommissioned, and/or otherwise surplussed police cars. This isn't, in fact, the case at all. While such vehicles are regularly put on the auction block at such events, they're not the only type vehicles commonly made available. Police seized car auctions regularly feature vehicles that were obtained through asset seizure and forfeiture of property.
Seized and forfeited vehicles come into police possession when the vehicles have been confiscated by the police due to the vehicles use in, or association with, a crime or criminal. In 1986 a federal law went into effect which encourages police departments to seize assets in the execution of a criminal investigation as a means to discourage dealers in illicit narcotics through denying those criminals the proceeds from their illegal activities. So, let's say the police conduct a raid on a known drug kingpin's mansion. They will seize his cars, jewelry, property, and any other valuables that they have reason to believe was obtained by the kingpin through the proceeds earned from drug trafficking offences. The kingpin and his associates and family loses his valuables, and a strong message is sent to others: Crime does not pay. If you break the law, eventually, you're going to lose everything you gain from it.
Many of the items offered up to the highest bidder at police auctions are obtained in this manner. (And, unfortunately, some are obtained by way of, shall we say, less than scrupulous means) When you're buying at police seized car auctions, some of the vehicles you'll be looking at that are up for auction might be surplus vehicles — old police cars, and the like, but many may be seized vehicles obtained by the police department in the manner described in the previous paragraph. These cars will be auctioned off to the highest bidder, and the money fetched will go to funding the police department, or sometimes to other governmental interests.
Police seized car auctions are taking place all the time in cities and towns right across the country. In some larger cities, due to the frequency at which such seizures occur, police seized car auctions may be held at regular intervals throughout the year — they might occur on a regular date every three months or so, depending on the specific city. In smaller towns they might happen intermittently. And, in some states, the auctions are centralized — a state agency will collect such seized inventory from a number of individual police departments and hold regular auctions featuring items sourced from each of the individual police agencies.
No matter how frequent they may be, someone interested in buying at police seized car auctions will usually be able discover when and where one of these auctions is scheduled to be held in their area by looking through a local newspaper, or by consulting an online auction listing source, such as this one. The notice published in the paper will provide the date and time at which the auction is scheduled to take place. It will sometimes also provide a listing of some or all of the automobiles that are to be put up for auction on that date. In some cases there might be a date published occurring prior to the date of the actual auction that has been set aside for interested parties to inspect the vehicles on offer. Taking advantage of a qualified listing service is more likely to provide much more detailed information that will allow you to make the wisest and most informed decisions regarding purchasing any particular vehicle, and how much you should spend. Along with that, such services will notify you directly and proactively of any police seized car auctions (or, sales and/or auctions of other types, if you choose) in your area. They will also have available to you on-line search features that will allow you to enter specif and detailed criteria any time you wish and then be presented with a list of upcoming opportunities that match the criteria you entered.
Putting forth the effort to actually inspect the vehicles prior to the time of auction is an absolute must. When actually buying at police seized car auctions, in almost all cases, the vehicles that are being auctioned off are sold on an "as is" basis and are not sold with any sort of warranty or guarantee. Once you place a bid and the auctioneer drops the gavel and yells "SOLD!", you own the vehicle — no matter what may or may not be wrong with it. If you placed the high bid and then come to find out that the vehicle doesn't even have an engine in it, and you didn't know because you passed on the opportunity made available to you to fully inspect the vehicle prior to the auction and you never opened the hood and looked, well, that's your tough luck. The onus is on you to familiarize yourself with the item being bid on and to structure your bid accordingly. For this reason the wise bidder will always take full advantage of the opportunity provided for inspecting the vehicle — some people buying at police seized car auctions, if not so qualified themselves, will even bring a certified mechanic friend along with them to inspect the vehicles.
One other thing to be well aware of is the fact that while the car has been seized by the police or government and they are putting it up for sale at their police seized car auction, this does not guarantee that the vehicle is necessarily entirely free from any liens. There could very well be outstanding debt still owing to a finance company that was held by the person from whom the car was seized. If you successfully bid on the vehicle, you may be on the hook to actually settle that debt with the original finance company. This is somewhat rare, of course, but it's not entirely unheard of. And, the party conducting the auction will be required to provide adequate notice of any such outstanding debt that may be attached to the vehicle before they can put it up for sale. You should be aware, however, that just because you aren't aware of any such notice given doesn't mean that they didn't necessarily provide proper notice. They have a legal obligation to make such notice readily available, but you also have a legal obligation to take reasonable steps to ensure that you're fully apprised of such notice.
If you get the winning bid and later come to find out there is money owing on the vehicle, but they didn't take reasonable measures to provide notice of such, then you're off the hook. The sale is null and void. They'll have to take the vehicle back and refund your money. But, if you get the winning bid, later come to find out there is money owing on the vehicle, and they DID take reasonable measures to provide notice, but you just weren't aware of it, then YOU own the car, and YOU own the associated debt, and it's not their problem anymore. It's yours. So, the wise and prudent individual always makes sure that they are taking all reasonable measures and action to fully familiarize themselves with items being put up for auction and to find out as much information as they absolutely can regarding such items.
And, of course, there's no excuse not to inform yourself in such a manner. Simply taking about a minute to ask an official at the auction if there is any outstanding debt on any of the vehicles, or what their policy or protocol is regarding such things should adequately cover your butt. If you ask and they say "no outstanding debt" and it later turns out there is, it's their problem, not yours. You made the purchase under the clear understanding, confirmed by an official representative of selling party, that there was no outstanding debt, and the fact that it turns out there is voids the agreement of sale — they can keep their car, and you can keep your money.
With these things in mind, and with an eye to buying at police seized car auctions using a little bit of wisdom and prudence, such auctions can, and very often do, provide truly astounding opportunities for obtaining quality used vehicles at incredibly amazing savings. If you happen to be in the market for a used car, it would be well worth your time to investigate any upcoming police seized car auctions which may be taking place in your area. Or, perhaps you're thinking of starting your own business obtaining vehicles from such sources and flipping them for a profit? If that's the case, then buying at police seized car auctions is most assuredly worth investigating.
Making Money in Government Surplus – Buy Low and Sell High
Everybody knows that one of the absolute surest ways of making money in business is the "buy low and sell high" model. And, it goes without saying, the lower you can buy an item for, and the higher you can turn around and sell that same item for, the more money you'll make. It is precisely for this reason that sourcing potential trade items from surplus providers is so attractive to so many. There are few, if any, other avenues that hold an equal potential to provide a buyer with lower priced, quality merchandise which can then be re-sold for higher profit margins than government surplus sources.
Through government surplus outlets and auctions, a buyer is able to locate all manner of various goods very inexpensively and re-sell those items at a substantial profits. Such cheaply sourced items can be re-sold easily, effectively and without much overhead, through on-line means such as eBay and other online auction services, flea markets, junk sales, Craigslist or print classified advertising, mail-order, liquidation centers, and more.
Sourcing merchandise intended for resale from government surplus sources offers very attractive profit potential because government surplus sources aren't likely to be as concerned with obtaining the highest prices for their surplus merchandise as are private, commercial sellers. When it comes to government surplus sales — such as government surplus auctions, or government direct liquidation — the sales are being run and handled by government employees. This means, of course, that it wasn't their personal money that was used to procure the items in the first place. It was tax-payer money. The sellers have no personal stake or financial investment in the sale of the items which they need to make certain they recoup. So, they are not strongly motivated to make sure that they obtain the best possible price on a sale. At least, they're not nearly as motivated as a private seller would be — one who, if they are unable to obtain a good price for the item they have personal capital invested in, might not be able to provide for themselves or their families as well as they would have liked. The government employees overlooking the sale of the government surplus items you're interested in purchasing are getting paid the same wage whether the item sells or not, and regardless of how much it sells for. Whether an item ends up being sold for one dollar or a million dollars, the people overseeing the sale make the same wage.
Now, many people that are inexperienced in the game of flipping goods obtained from government surplus sources are very often under the mistaken impression that government surplus really means military surplus. And, that most of the types of goods available have very specific military applications only and, thus, appeal only to a very specific and somewhat limited market, making the items obtained somewhat difficult to re-sell unless you already have avenues of distribution set-up within that market. This, however, is not the case at all. Military surplus actually only accounts for a small portion of the surplus merchandise that various government departments sell off practically every day. Most of the merchandise that makes up regular government surplus sales are items with very mundane, every-day, civilian usages.
At government surplus auctions and distributors it's common to find things as ordinary and mundane as office furniture, consumer camera, photography and other types of audio-visual equipment, regular clothing, consumer computer equipment, various electrical and kitchen appliances, musical instruments, hand tools, exercise equipment, janitorial supplies and equipment, and much, much more.
Of course, with all the attraction that's obviously inherent in exploiting government surplus sources in order to make money flipping surplus merchandise, there really doesn't seem to be a lot of people actually doing it. And, one must wonder why this is. The reason is fairly straight forward, however. I explained above how the people who run these government surplus sales aren't personally motivated to get the best prices for the items being sold. And, of course, for this exact same reason, these government surplus sales aren't widely advertised. The truth is, most people just don't know about these government surplus sales. The sellers aren't personally motivated to publicize the sales in order to bring in the widest array of potential buyers and make sure the items are moved for the best possible prices. This is another reason why merchandise can be obtained at such great prices from government surplus sources — there's less competition among buyers than there usually is at private sales, simply because less people are aware of them.
So, all you really need to do is find these under-publicized sales. Fortunately, we've published articles right here on SurplusBusiness.Com in the past that will explain to you the best methods of going about finding these sales. Check out just some of our articles listed below for more information:
• What is a Police Auction? And, How to Find and Take Advantage of Them
• Public Surplus Auctions – Exactly How To Find Them
• Government Surplus Online Auctions
So, these are the attractive advantages of government surplus when it comes to turning a profit by buying low and selling high: The sales tend to not be well publicized, which means less competition among buyers. Which, of course, means less demand and less buyers running up prices. Government surplus auctions tend to place items up for bid with either very low, or absolutely no reserve price. Coupled with the less than normal buying competition, this means that, often, even placing a ridiculously low-bid on an item can result in a winning bid.
Just recently, I was at a government surplus auction where a lot of antique shaving kits — never used and still in their original packaging — came up for auction. I know there's a small, but fairly enthusiastic, collector's market for such items. I estimated the re-sale value of the lot at around $500.00 But, since the market is so small, it probably would have been a hassle to move them quickly, if I won the bid.
In this particular case, it was a silent auction. In such an auction, you don't get to know what other people have bid. You enter the most you're willing to pay, and at the end of the day, the person who entered the highest amount wins the item for the amount they entered. Even though I knew the re-sale value was around $500.00, the reserve price placed on this particular item was set at only $25.00.
So, I thought, "What the hell!" I'll put in the minimum bid. I don't really want the hassle of trying to move the items in such a limited market — so, if I don't win it, I won't be all that disappointed. But, if I do somehow manage to win them for the minimum bid, I've pretty much got to go for it. If I don't get it, I don't get it. No big deal. I didn't expect to win the bid. But, I did. As it turned out, nobody else even placed a bid on the item. And, as luck would have it, I actually did find a buyer fairly quickly and with relatively little hassle. I paid exactly $25.00 for the lot, and within two weeks I found a buyer and sold the entire lot for $380.00. A profit of $355.00. Not bad!
Government Surplus Online Auctions
It used to be that if you wanted in on the incredible bargains available at government surplus auctions, you had to do an awful lot of footwork. Just locating government surplus auctions and figuring out where and when these auctions would be held was quite a chore, as they tended not to be very well advertised. Then, of course, once you found an upcoming government surplus auction, you had to actually, physically go to the location in order to take part.
Today, however, we're living in the electronic age and, as with many things, government surplus auctions have now moved into the online world. Government surplus online auctions have become exceedingly more popular over the last decade. No longer does an interested buyer need to spend the time or gas money to actually travel to the government surplus online auction they once did — all of your auction bidding can now be done in front of a computer, right from the comfortable surroundings of your very own home.
Actually knowing where on the internet one needs to go in order to take part in one of these government surplus online auctions isn't knowledge that everyone has, however. Even in this age of the internet, it still takes a fair amount of searching. Fortunately, there are services available such as the one offered by GovernmentAuctions.Org, and AuctionPass, which act as both government surplus online auction, and more traditional, offline government auction locating services. The more reputable of these services, such as those mentioned above, are truly invaluable tools if you're looking to get a leg up and really snag the absolute best deals on things like federal government surplus vehicles, or local or state government surplus automobiles, government surplus equipment, surplus furniture, government surplus ammo, machinery, clothing, government land auctions, and just about anything else you can think of. GovernmentAuctions.Org also offers auction locating services for both American and Canadian government surplus auctions, as well as repo auctions, police auctions, military government auctions and much more.
Of course, if you're someone who is interested in purchasing quality government auctions cars, you will probably want to check out our very own, updated hourly, live surplus vehicle auction listing that's located here. Be sure to bookmark that page and check back every so often, as the best deals quite often get snatched up soon after being posted. If you're in the market for more general military government auctions goods, or other non-military general government auctions surplus items, you'll probably also want to check out our other listings located here and here as well. Live listings for military surplus items are located here.
With all of that said, it should be clear that while the modern electronic age has made locating such government auctions of surplus goods much, much less of a chore than it once was, it's still not an entirely simple task for many people. The truth of the matter is that many of these government surplus online auctions just aren't advertised or promoted all that well. Internet search engines can often make the task of locating government surplus online auctions fairly difficult as, recently, there has been a trend for the major search engines to favor commercial websites willing to dump money into the search engine's advertising schemes. This pushes the actual government surplus online auctions information that you're probably looking for deep down into the search results and brings advertisers who just want to sell you something up to greater prominence in the returned results. The effect, of course, is that you'll need to spend time and effort hunting through those results in order to find the information you're looking for.
In fact, you're probably on this page right now because you've become frustrated in trying to locate the information you need and are looking for tips on how best to go about doing so. There does certainly seem to be a lot of talk on the internet about these great government surplus online auctions taking place all the time, but there doesn't really seem to be very much direct information regarding where they are and how to find them exactly. That's why we offer our live, updated-hourly surplus auction listings. And, if you're truly interested in maximizing your ability to find the absolute best government surplus auctions — ones taking place both online and offline — your best bet really is to take advantage of a competent government auction locating service like the ones mentioned above.
There really are an absolute ton of amazing bargains to be had at these auctions — bargains that most people just don't know about. And, while it can still be somewhat tricky to locate these government surplus online auctions by yourself — even in this age of instant information via the internet — there are services available to you that will give you a remarkable advantage in both finding the auctions you wish to take part in, or even teaching you the information you need in how to find government surplus online auctions on your own — whether you happen to be looking for either American or Canadian government surplus online auctions.

Surplus Business Equipment – A Wise and Economic Alternative
Surplus Business Equipment – Government Surplus
You've started your business, or you have one already at least reasonably established. You now find yourself in need of some expensive equipment and supplies. Purchasing equipment and supplies for your business new can be prohibitively expensive. You may have heard that a cheaper alternative to locating and procuring the items your business needs would be to source surplus business equipment. Many business owners do go this route. And, procuring surplus business equipment can be a realistic and economical path to locating the quality business equipment and supplies that your business needs.
Surplus business equipment and supplies are often available from private sources. However, one of the more preferred sources for obtaining quality surplus business equipment is actually the government itself. Buying surplus business equipment and surplus business supplies from the government is actually both a simple and affordable method for properly equipping both your new and expanding business. The types of surplus business equipment available from government sources range from computers to automobiles, and even to previously used medical supplies and equipment — even real estate. Practically any type of equipment you can imagine, or that your business may be in need of, can be sold off by the government at or below cost in the form of surplus business equipment.
Surplus Business Equipment:
A Guide to Government Auctions and Sales for Your Business
At a time when a federal agency or a state or municipal agency finds itself with extra equipment or seized items, or if it happens to foreclose on some piece of property, the items will either be transferred to some other governmental agency or they will be sold off to the public at a government sale or auction. These surplus items are usually sold on an "as is" basis by auction or else they're offered to the public in a negotiated sale. The auctions and sales might take place on-line, or in-person, or sometimes both. On-line government surplus auctions tend to work in very much the same fashion as any other, regular online auction works, such as the ones that take place on popular websites like eBay. A person interested in taking part in such on-line government surplus auctions simply visits a website that is run by an agency or broker that is conducting the auction or sale, they register their name with the site, and, when the auction begins, they simply begin placing their bids on the items they're interested in.
Most of these government surplus auctions that are conducted by various states have a single online auction website where the auctions can be found. However, that's not the case with auctions conducted by federal agencies. There is no one, single on-line government auction site used by the federal government. Instead, each federal agency is responsible for their own liquidations of excess or no longer needed property or goods. Individual agencies like the General Services Administration, individual federal law enforcement agencies, and the Department of Defense, to name a few, each maintain their own individual auction websites.
The following list contains a number of online resources and websites that you can use to locate sources for procuring surplus business equipment from government sources.

This is our list of the (current) five best gogo bars in Pattaya. The list is obviously
subjective as what we happen to like will not be to everyone's taste but we also take into
account the bars overall popularity in terms of how frequently it plays to packed houses.
Sapphire Club. Only open since June 2010 but
rapidly becoming one of Pattaya's premier night spots with its 4 floors of
Thursday night is Party Night as is rapidly establishing itself as a must do
on the Pattaya calendar
Iron Club. Not a great favourite personally but
with little doubt the most popular gogo bar in Pattaya at the present time.
Drinks are on the expensive side.

Chore I hate: Cleaning….anything!
Bed size: Double. Ole Boy has a queen. OK, yeah, we have separate beds. It has probably saved our marriage.
Favorite color: Normally blue, but I have to say pink is very pleasing to me as well.
Job title: Officially it's "Specialist." I hate that word and rarely use it in my title.
Live: I plan to keep it up until I die…and then I'll really live.
Kids? 1 daughter…4 grandchildren; 6 when I count Ole Boys grandchildren.
Instruments I play: I can't even whistle a tune. I can play the radio, or MP3s and CDs on the Window's Media Player.
Height: 5'8"
Nicknames: All my dad ever called when I was growing up was "Frog." Even one or two of his buddies called me that. No one else in the family did, though. Just Dad.
Mom's name: Dorothy Jean. "Dot" to her sisters. "Mommy" to me. Yeah, I actually call her that sometimes.
Overnight hospital stays: When I was 6, I had my tonsils out, that one a one night stay. When I was 12, I had my nose fixed…not that it was a bad nose, just some internal stuff going on, and I think that was a two day stay. When I was in my 20's, I got very sick and ended up in the hospital for a week. Really sick…I almost died. Pancreatitis. Try to never, ever get that.
Siblings: Two of each…all older.
Right or Left handed: Right
Quote from a movie: "And what's so wrong with being personal, anyway? …whatever else anything is, it ought to begin by being personal." Kathleen Kelley, You've Got Mail
Time you wake up: Usually 2 a.m, 3:30 a.m. 5 a.m. Sometimes even midnight if I get in bed early enough. I try to roll out of bed by a quarter of six when I have to go to work.
Underwear: Why, yes! Yes, I do. Thank you.
Vegetable you dislike: Isn't an onion a vegetable? There is just no excuse for an onion. Period.
Yummy food you make: Green bean Casserole. Yeah, you wouldn't think so, but it's really good.
X-rays: I've had a few…the last one was on my head because I had a major sinus infection. The doctor walked in with my X-ray and asked if I had a screw in my skull. "Uh, no." A previous injury? Uh, NO! He showed me this questionable dark spot in the middle of my forehead. He then searched my head and found the offender…the metal spring in my plastic hair clip. Whew! Another one of my screws didn't come loose!
What makes you run late: Ole Boy! (…and a little procrastination on my part every once in a while.)
Zoo animal favorite: I really like otters. And bears!
