On January 26th, I was in the writers' lounge at the Diggi Palace Hotel, in Jaipur, where the city's annual literary festival was being held, and was in a leisurely conversation with fellow writers. Suddenly, a group of police officers barged in. A gruff man in a traditional kurta pajama, wearing a black cap and a shawl, was leading them. I began to hear the name of Ashis Nandy being repeated. Ashis Nandy is one of India's foremost intellectuals, a clinical psychologist and sociologist who has produced some of the most original and important works of scholarship in independent India in his forty or more years in public life. He is also a prolific writer of essays and newspaper columns and a feisty public speaker.
"How could Ashis Nandy call us the most corrupt in India?" the politician in the black cap shouted at the growing crowd of festival organizers and writers. A few hours earlier, Nandy had been on a panel discussion called "The Republic of Ideas" with Urvashi Butalia, a writer and publisher; Tarun Tejpal, a magazine editor and novelist; and a few others. The conversation had turned to the endemic corruption in India. Nandy, a small, bespectacled seventy-five-year-old man with a balding head, a wispy beard, and a ready laugh, had, as usual, an unorthodox take on corruption, "I do wish there remains some degree of corruption in India because I would also suggest that it humanizes our society."
Nandy spoke about lower-caste politicians, and argued that because they have only recently gained access to the spoils of power, they didn't yet have the sophisticated social networks that allow India's upper-caste élite to hide their corruption. Indicating his fellow panelist Richard Sorabji, an Oxford scholar, Nandy said, "If I do a good turn to Richard Sorabji, he can return the favor by accommodating my nephew at Oxford; if it were in the United States, it would be a substantial fellowship." He mentioned Mayawati, a Dalit (formerly called Untouchable) politician who is president of Bahujan Samaj Party, the largest lower-caste political party, and was the chief minister of Utter Pradesh until last year. Like a vast number of Indian politicians, she has faced charges of corruption (which have since been dismissed). "If she has to oblige somebody or have somebody in the family absorb the money, she will probably have to take the bribe of having a hundred petrol pumps, and that is very conspicuous, very corrupt indeed. Our corruption doesn't look that corrupt, theirs does."
Tejpal, the magazine editor from Delhi, followed Nandy's thought and described corruption in India being a class equalizer, as the only chance for the people on the "wrong side of the tracks" to make it in a highly stratified and unequal society. Nandy responded, "It will be a very undignified and—how should I put it—almost vulgar statement on my part. It is a fact that most of the corrupt come from the O.B.C.s and the scheduled caste and now increasingly the scheduled tribes. And as long as this is the case, the Indian republic will survive." Dalits, the former Untouchables, and others on the lowest rung of the Hindu caste system are described as Scheduled Castes in Indian legalese; India's poor and marginalized tribal communities are known as Scheduled Tribes. The Indian Constitution initially guaranteed affirmative action for these two groups, but over the years other castes on the lower and middle rungs of the caste ladder have been included—often after political agitations—as "Other Backward Castes" (O.B.C.s).
A populist television journalist, who was also on the panel, promptly called Nandy's remarks a casteist slur and demanded an apology. Within moments, Nandy's remark about most corrupt Indians being from traditionally oppressed and marginalized lower castes and tribes was tweeted without its context. Television channels and wire services ran the headline: "SC/ST/OBCs most corrupt: Ashis Nandy." His words divorced of the complexity of his argument and their context spread quickly—an allegation against a multitude, provoking anger and offense.
And that was what brought Kirori Lal Meena, a lower-caste member of Parliament with a formidable constituency in the state of Rajasthan, to the writers' lounge at Diggi Palace. Meena's supporters were already agitating outside the festival gates. Meena sat cross-legged on a bench, his hands interlocked and his body language stiff and unrelenting. He demanded that Nandy be produced. He was accompanied by police officers, who took seats around him, their faces tense. The festival organizers moved about frantically, speaking to Meena in polite, supplicating voices, urging some sort of reconciliation. He seemed keen on legal action against Nandy.
Tejpal, the co-panelist, joined in and began describing Nandy's career. Nandy had for decades supported and written about equal citizenship for the religious minorities, the lower castes, and the poor in India—even putting himself at risk.
In one of the gravest moments of crisis in Indian polity, after the mass sectarian violence in the state of Gujarat, in 2002, when more than a thousand Muslims including pregnant women and children were killed by extremist Hindu mobs—with the alleged complicity of the government led by Hindu nationalist chief minister Narendra Modi (who is now positioning himself as a candidate for Prime Minister and the future leader of India)—Nandy wrote an essay describing Modi as a "classic, clinical case of a fascist," with "clear paranoid and obsessive personality traits." The essay appeared in one of India's much respected intellectual forums, Seminar magazine.
Six years later, after Modi was reëlected in Gujarat, Nandy published an article in the Times of India commenting on the dire state of civil liberties and institutionalized prejudice against minorities in Gujarat. Article Nineteen of the Indian Constitution guarantees free speech, but it is a right limited by five exceptions: the interests of the sovereignty and integrity of India; the security of the state; friendly relations with foreign states; public order, decency or morality; and in relation to contempt of court, defamation, or incitement to an offense. All these can be interpreted rather broadly, and potentially encompass almost any critical writing, political statement, or cultural expression. In this case, Modi's police registered a criminal case against Nandy, charging him with promoting communal disharmony—making assertions prejudicial to national integration.
Nandy fought the case for several years and Indian intellectuals and liberal journalists rallied behind him. "The case against me in Gujarat has not been closed, but the Supreme Court of India stayed my arrest," Nandy told me.
His history and biography failed to check the anger at the Diggi Palace. Meena refused to relent; his hands continued their dismissive, unrelenting interlock.
A few minutes later, Nandy appeared. He was sombre. He faced Meena and spoke slowly, explaining his comments, insisting that his remarks weren't a casteist slur. Namita Gokhale, a co-director of the festival, appeared with a tea-tray, offering the first cup to the enraged politician.
Meena seemed to demand a written explanation. Nandy began to write. One of the sheets of paper was torn as he wrote. He copied his explanation onto another sheet. I stood by his shoulder, watching him slowly pen his words. Nandy repeated his earlier arguments about the entrenched social networks of the élites facilitating their corruption and added,
But when Dalits, tribals and the O.B.C.s are corrupt, it looks very corrupt indeed.
However, this second corruption equalizes. It gives them access to their entitlements. And so, as long as this equation persists, I have hope for the Republic.
I hope this will be the end of the matter. I am sorry if some have misunderstood me. Though there was no reason to do so. As should be clear from this statement, there was neither any intention nor any attempt to hurt any community. If anyone is genuinely hurt, even if through misunderstanding, I am sorry about that, too.
When Meena left the lounge, television crews had been waiting for him; he was unyielding as he faced the cameras. In a few hours, news came that Mayawati, the former Uttar Pradesh chief minister, had demanded Nandy's arrest for his remarks. Nandy's family sought to get him back home to Delhi. A few policemen and the organizers took him out of the festival venue through a back door. The embattled, aging scholar walked briskly through the crowds as the sun set on Jaipur. He stepped into a car and drove six hours through the night to Delhi.
Politicians from all communities in India are among the first to take offense, partly with an eye on political profit and increased visibility. And yet one of the foremost Dalit intellectuals, Kancha Ilaiah, who teaches at a university in Hyderabad, was in Jaipur. Ilaiah's best-known book, "Why I am Not a Hindu?"—a searing critique of the Hindu caste system—is required reading on the subject. Several years back, attempts were made to censor Ilaiah's essays on caste by the authorities of his university. A letter from the registrar of his university directed him to write "within the canons of conduct of our profession" and accused him of "accentuated social tensions" through his writing. It was the Indian equivalent of Princeton trying to stop Cornel West from writing about race.
Ilaiah, the polemicist, is a slight, soft-spoken man with wisps of grey hair. At Jaipur, he wore a navy-blue suit, rimless glasses, and carried a bag full of books. Ilaiah was troubled by Nandy's statement but opposed calls for his arrest. "His statement was not intended to hurt, but it is an assertion that encompasses the ethical life of eight-hundred million people. Are our laborers corrupt? Are our tribals who live and toil in the forests corrupt? Nobody ever said that the slaves were corrupt," Ilaiah told me. "Ashis Nandy intended to support the cause of an oppressed people but he deployed the wrong concept and made an incorrect assertion. It is a very emotive issue. You are calling a people corrupt, a people whose life in this country is harsh." It was not as if their marginalization was entirely in the past: "Even at a conference like this, not even one per cent of the participants are from Dalit or other lower-caste communities."
The Jaipur police proceeded to register a criminal case against Nandy and sought the video recording of the discussion to check if the scholar's comments constituted an offense under the Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes Act of India. (The law is aimed at preventing untouchability, which includes denial of access to certain places to an S.C. or S.T. person; preventing him or her from getting water from any spring, reservoir or any other source; or making a comment in order to insult or intimidate with intent to humiliate a S.C. or S.T. person in any place within public view.) The police also ordered the organizers of the literary festival not to leave the city until they were questioned by the police about, among other things, whether they had breached the terms of an undertaking they had signed to "not hurt the sentiments of any community or religion during the literary festival." A court order helped them return home after two days, but the police summoned Nandy to appear in Jaipur for a probe against his remarks.
The undertaking the organizers had signed was a condition that the Rajasthan government had imposed after opposition from Muslim groups and death threats forced Salman Rushdie to cancel his visit to the festival last year. (David Remnick wrote about it at the time.) Even before the Nandy affair, there was a certain jitteriness around open speech, nationalism, and religion at the festival. India's most powerful Hindu supremacist group, Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, or National Volunteers Association, had issued a warning that the participation of Pakistani authors was "not in the country's interests at the moment."
Younger officials of the R.S.S.'s political wing and India's opposition Bharatiya Janata Party threatened to stop Pakistani authors from entering the venue. Like their brethren on the Hindu right, a little-known Islamist group called for banning from the festival four writers—Jeet Thayil, Hari Kunzru, Amitava Kumar, and Ruchir Joshi—who had read extracts from Rushdie's novel "The Satanic Verses" during the previous festival.
The threats seemed mere bluster when I first arrived in Jaipur, although visitors entered the venue through metal detectors, and scores of policemen and private-security men were present at the gates. Diggi Palace's lawns held a boisterous crowd of writers and readers, a cacophony of voices debating the global economy, religious landscapes in India, and arguing about the Jewish novel. I saw the Pakistani novelist Nadeem Aslam signing copies of his new novel, "The Blind Man's Garden." Aslam was excited about the end papers: "Aren't they gorgeous?" A little later, I saw the Indian novelist Jeet Thayil, one of the authors that the Islamic fringe tried to ban (and whose novel "Narcopolis" was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize last year). He had been assigned a policeman who followed him throughout the festival. "He has been with me at all my talks and at all the parties," Thayil said. "After we attended several talks, he was bored and asked, 'Is this what you do? You talk all day about books?' Yes, I said. He was quiet after that, but his amusement and disbelief at our vocation was evident." Thayil went on to read a section from his novel where the word "cunt" and its variations appeared several times. Four charges of obscenity were filed against him at a Jaipur police station.
My own panel had been, appropriately enough, about censorship. In it, I'd dwelled on the image of a tall, gangly man with a luxurious mustache in an ill-fitting leather jacket and baggy trousers, walking about the newspaper offices in Srinagar, the main city in the Indian-controlled Kashmir, a decade ago. I was a novice reporter travelling between sites of atrocity, visiting the drab offices of pro-India or pro-Kashmiri independence politicians for press conferences. The man always stood in a corner, listening intently, scribbling intensely. Occasionally, I would bump into him and he would ask about my family, or bring up an event he had missed. "I had to take my son to a hospital. Please tell me what was said? Who asked the questions?" It could feel like a fellow reporter seeking help, but I had learned by then about his vocation: he was the policeman whose job was to report on the press. The colder, faceless sign of surveillance and censorship was a faint noise, a crackle over the phone, a slight echo of your own voice that reminded one of the policemen listening to our words. The regime of censorship in conflict zones like Kashmir extended to unknown callers making intimidating threats to writers and journalists--and in the worst cases, assassinations.
But Kashmir has for decades been a state of exception, a gray zone where democratic imperatives are subservient. Recently, the Indian government has been showing greater intolerance of dissent and critique beyond the borderlands, too. Apart from censorship and surveillance by the government, an insidious trend of political, ethnic, and religious groups threatening artists, writers, and scholars with violence and legal action has been gathering strength across India.
In September, Aseem Trivedi, a Mumbai-based cartoonist, who mocked politicians facing a litany of corruption charges by redrawing the seal of India—replacing the lions with wolves—was arrested on charges of sedition in Mumbai. After intense criticism by the courts and civil society, the charges were dropped and Trivedi was released.
On November 18th, Mumbai was shut down following the death of its most powerful and controversial Hindu politician, Bal Thackeray—a divisive figure who, as the leader of Shiv Sena party, had a record of inciting xenophobic and sectarian violence. Fears of violence by his grieving party-members kept vehicles off the roads and shops closed. A twenty-one-year-old woman in a Mumbai suburb remarked critically on Thackeray's death on her Facebook page, "People like Thackeray are born and die daily and one should not observe a 'bandh' [shutdown] for that." A friend of hers liked the comment. The police arrested both girls and charged them under a section of India's Information Technology Act, which governs cyber offenses. The girls were eventually released on bail after appearing in a local court.
Shiv Sena, the political party that Thackeray headed till his death, and whose members lobbied for the arrests of the two Mumbai girls, has, in fact, performed the role of a vigilante censor in India. The great painter Maqbool Fida Husain, known as the Picasso of India, was in his nineties when he became the target of the Hindu right for a series of nude paintings of Hindu goddesses that he had made in the nineteen-seventies. His exhibitions were vandalized, his house attacked, and criminal cases were filed against him.
Threatened with arrest, Husain had to leave India and live in exile in London and Dubai, before he accepted citizenship in Qatar in 2010. "He kept calling us from London, from New York, pleading that he must absolutely come back to India, 'not die in a foreign land,' " his friend N. Ram, the publisher of The Hindu newspaper wrote after Husain's death in June, 2011, in a London hospital.
And just a few weeks back, Muslim groups in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu protested against a thriller that they believed depicted Muslims as terrorists; the release of the movie was delayed by a local court. It was about these stifling trends that my colleagues and I spoke.
By Wednesday morning, another case has been registered against Nandy under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe Act in Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Fearing arrest, Nandy appealed to the Supreme Court of India, which has the authority to stop his arrest and quash the case against him. On Friday, Justice Altamas Kabir, the Chief Justice of India, along with two other judges, heard his appeal. Nandy's lawyer invoked free speech, but the judges reprimanded him: "Tell your client he has no license to make such comments."
The court said it would reserve judgment until seeing the government's response to the motions. "In the meantime, the petitioner will not be arrested in FIR filed in connection with the statement made by him at the JLF, on January 26," the Court ordered—so Nandy would not have to wait in jail. After the decision, the scholar spoke to the press, expressing his gratitude to the court. Nandy added, "I will have to be careful now."

The Civilian Conservation Corps, one of the most popular New Deal programs of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, offered jobs to unemployed young men. Most of them, aged 18-24, were from families on public relief during the Great Depression, and had few other prospects for employment. Some three million of them applied, passed a physical, and made their promise of a minimum 6 months' service, before they were sent to work constructing parks, planting trees, working on public roadways, and constructing buildings on public lands. In return, they were given room and board, plus a small wage. They were required to send money to their families back home.
I had heard that my father-in-law, Bob, had taken a job with the C.C.C. when a young man, but had no details. While we know a fair amount about his life, the years from 1930 to 1950 were somewhat fuzzy. I contacted the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis several times inquiring about records before finally receiving an answer informing me that his records were available. I filled out the paperwork required, sent in $60, and waited. Within two weeks, I had a packet of about a dozen pages of information. I was hoping what I found was worth the cost and the persistence.
Through the information found in these records, in addition to information I already had, I was able to put together a fairly good timeline. The family moved from Hand County, South Dakota to Spearfish sometime in 1937. Bob attended his first year of high school in Spearfish, but went to work at the Red Owl Grocery store in January of 1938 as a "helper". He worked there three months, and was unable to find another job until his enrollment in the C. C. C. in July.
He was AWOL for 3 days after Christmas in 1938, and "AWOP" for five days after that, all for unknown reasons. He was "Absent With Out Pay" from 6/19/1939 (the day his step-father passed away) to 6/26/1939 (when he was discharged) for "Emergency Leave". Before the year was out, Bob, his mother, and his siblings had relocated back to their home in Hand County.
I learned a few personal details about Bob that I had not known. He was barely 17 when he quit high school to go to work, but during his first three months with the Corps, he expressed interest in completing some high school coursework. Had he put aside his own education to help his family financially? Or had he quit school for other reasons? The interest in completing high school was apparently still there.
I learned that Bob considered himself best suited for work as a mechanic, but was hoping to work as a traveling salesman after completion of his C. C. C. enrollment. While he did work at implement and hardware stores, he never did sell his wares on the road.
I didn't know he was small kid - 5'5" and 124 pounds – when entering the C. C. C. camp. Upon his discharge a year later, he had grown an inch, and gained 11 pounds. Later photos of him depict a slightly stocky build.
He was called "honest and reliable" by his camp adviser, and described as an "able and dependable workman." He enjoyed reading while at the camp.
While the C. C. C. file did not reveal any surprising news, it did present a snapshot in time of Bob's youth, his interests and abilities, and his character. Since he died young, learning these little bits of information from whatever sources we can find is especially important, as there aren't many people left who knew him directly, particularly at this stage in his life.
Some of the more interesting pieces of information in the file, besides the basic birth date, birth place, and address, included an educational and work history. Results of the physical exam were also in the file. Work preferences, as well as the kind of work actually done, was also noted.
To find if your Great Depression era ancestor has C. C. C. records available, write to the National Personnel Records Center, Civilian Personnel Records, 111 Winnebago Street, St. Louis, Missouri, 63118-4126. Be sure to include as much information as you can about your ancestor: name, birth date and place, home address, parents' names, specific dates of C. C. C. employment, if known, and any other applicable information.

Lemon poppy seed cupcakes
It is a happy day for me because this afternoon my new stove was delivered! What could be better than cupcakes to celebrate this joyous occasion? The great thing about this recipe you can leave out the frosting and have great lemon poppy seed muffins. This was my first time using egg re-placer and I am still undecided if it's a good thing?
2 cups flour
3/4 cup organic sugar
1 tsp baking soda
4 tbsp poppy seeds
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 1/2 cups non-dairy milk
1 1/2 tbsp pure lemon extract or 2 tbsp lemon juice
1 egg replacement
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup canola oil
1 tsp white vinegar
Add wet to dry and mix until all combined. Spoon into a greased muffin tin and bake at 375 for 15 minutes or until cooked ( test with a sharp small knife by inserting into the muffin, if it comes out clean there done!)
Frosting..I usually just eyeball it, but here is a good idea.
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 cup organic icing sugar, plus a little bit more :P
2 tbsp vanilla soymilk
2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp sea salt
With a mixer combine everything and blend until fluffy. Adjusting the taste to your preference

I have been thinking about lemon poppyseed cupcakes lately. You are a mind reader! Thank you for the recipe.ReplyDelete
Thanks for the great idea! These look like a perfect treat - - even without the frosting. BTW - I started using ener-g egg replacer a few years ago - - No one has ever complained. I think it works great. :)ReplyDelete

PEMBROKE, N.C. – The Georgia College women's basketball team (4-13, 2-6 PBC) out-scored the Braves of UNC Pembroke (8-8, 5-3 PBC) in second half, but a 28-23 deficit at halftime proved too much as the Bobcats fell 54-50 at the English E. Jones Center Sunday afternoon.
For the second-consecutive game GC held the opposition to under 35 percent shooting from the field, limiting the Braves to 18-of-54 (33.3 percent) and 7-of-27 (25.9 percent) from beyond-the-arc. Meanwhile, the Bobcats shot 19-of-48 (39.6 percent) from the field and 5-of-17 (29.4 percent from three-point land.
Freshman Shanteona Keys (Roswell, Ga.) led all scorers with 17 points, doing a little bit of everything with six assists and five rebounds, as well. Her points came on 6-of-14 shooting and 2-of-2 from the charity-stripe.
Much like Friday night, Enisha Donley (Loganville, Ga.) made the most of her start , scoring 12 points on 5-of-9 shooting. She also corralled a team-high seven rebounds along with two assists.
With 13:01 remaining in the game, GC found itself trailing 40-29 before rallying to cut the score to 45-40 at the 6:05 mark.
A Donely lay-up with 50 seconds on the clock would get Georgia College within a bucket, but that's the closest the 'Cats would get as the Braves were able to fend off the relentless effort.
UNC Pembroke's Jazmine Kemp would knock down a free-throw to close the door on the Bobcats, finishing with five points and eight boards for the Braves. Courtney Bolton and Domonique Washington each had 10 points in a balanced scoring attack for UNCP.
Georgia College finishes their road trip 1-1 before a five-day hiatus to prepare for a matchup with Lander University Saturday, Jan. 28 at 1:30 p.m. at the Centennial Center.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 10 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

|Winnebago County Sheriff's PoliceNews Media Release
|News Release Number2008 - 033
|Information: Flood Debris Clean Up & Used Sandbag Collection
|Date: 07/08/08
|Time: 10:00 AM
|Page of 1
NARRATIVE:Winnebago County Sheriff Richard Meyers and Winnebago County Board Chairman Scott Christiansen are announcing that countywide debris clean up and used sandbag collection from the recent flooding along the Rock River began today, and will continue until all areas are cleared of debris. State resources consisting of a state prisoner work crew along with State of Illinois Department of Transportation trucks and end loaders (along with the personnel resources) are being coordinated through IEMA. These crews are working along with Winnebago County resources consisting of the Sheriff's inmate work crew and Winnebago County Highway Department trucks and end loaders and personnel. Although most of the areas that were severely affected by the flooding are known (such as Edgemere Terrace in the Roscoe Area, Shore Drive in Machesney Park, and Blackhawk Island in Southern Winnebago County,) other isolated areas were also affected which span from the Stateline area in South Beloit to the Winnebago / Ogle County line. We urge residents in these areas to place debris from flooding, and any used sandbags to the curb. These items will then be picked up by one of the work crews. Residents in the isolated areas should call the Winnebago County EOC at (815) 319-6215 with their address, to ensure that all debris / sandbags are picked up and properly disposed.

Townhouse Revisited Info < 4/8 >
Chicago Illinois This prototypical townhouse, winner in the 1999 Towhnouse Revisited Competition sponsored by the Graham Foundation, explores the impact of new domestic possibilities on a typical Chicago housing lot. Spaces in the project are organized around an open air courtyard with reflecting pool, allowing light from two directions into every room. Spatial gradations from public to private are explored and redefined in this study for an urban work/live domestic arrangement.

From a basket hoisted on the back of his trawler, fisherman Freddy Gutmann proudly picks up a giant geoduck clam fresh from the frigid waters off the northwestern Canadian coast.
"This one is a great specimen," Gutmann says, as sea water gushes from the massive mollusk that measures an impressive 20cm.
Gutmann has good reason to be in high spirits, since within 24 hours, the super-sized shellfish — shunned by Western chefs — will be served at top restaurants in Hong Kong, Beijing or Tokyo for a steep price.
Without missing a beat, the 35-year veteran of the Pacific waters off northwest Canada swiftly fills three orange cases with his sorted and cleaned catch so they can be rushed to the airport in Vancouver — and on to Asia.
While a kilo of geoducks goes for about C$30 (US$27) these days — six times less than what top Asian eateries will ask their patrons to fork over — that was not always the case, Gutmann said.
"Fifteen years ago, its price was around C$0.30 per pound [0.45kg] maximum," he said.
What's more, licenses to harvest such clams were once available for a pittance.
"License owners got them for a couple bucks. Sometimes they were given by the government," said the native of Tofino, a small seaside town in the province of British Columbia popular with surfers and aging hippies.
Today, however, "they're worth C$4 to C$5 million," he said.
In the port of Tofino, flanked by rugged, snow-capped mountains, mariners talk of astronomically high fees of C$50 million per permit and annual salaries of C$200,000 — all difficult to believe and verify.
However, just 55 fishing permits have been issued by Canadian authorities who are not planning to increase that quota — even though environmentalists say the geoduck population is overabundant.
The conspicuous clams can be found all the way from Mexico's Baja California peninsula to Alaska, but they are particularly present off the shores of the US state of Washington and in neighboring British Columbia.
However, harvesting the shellfish is no easy task and, except for slightly more modern equipment, the task has not changed much since Gutmann started his career more than three decades ago.
It takes two divers weighed down by 30kg belts and taking turns over 12 hours to plunge 15m to 20m into the dark waters to wrest the geoducks from their perch on the sandy Pacific floor.
Dressed in thick wetsuits and attached to a boat by a 300m-long air hose, the divers scour the sea floor for tiny holes that suggest the presence of a clam, often buried under a meter of sand.
"You've got your ears against the sand — you hold it, but it's fighting to leave," said David Thomas, who has spent 27 of his 48 years searching for geoducks.
"It's really hard to catch, especially for young divers," he said.
Boasting the build of a US football player, Thomas — who works with Gutmann — swears this season will be his last.
Sometimes, the underwater current is so strong that it plasters you to the sea floor, said the family man, adding that he has even come face-to-face with a sea lion.
Interest in geoducks is so strong that once the Tofino fishing season ends, the modest local fleet of 30 trawlers heads further north to the Alaska border.
"There's nothing out there — you go from one bay to another and you don't see anybody," Thomas said, as he pointed to a map on board the trawler known as the Hideaway II. "It's all white here."

A Matter of Hygiene: A Physician's View on Minimizing Swimming Pool Health Risks
New preliminary research on swimming in indoor chlorinated pools in Spain draws an uncertain line between exposure to certain pool water contaminants and health effects. After reading these studies, I asked myself: What do these tentative findings mean to me and my family of swimmers? I agree with the researchers that it's not time to get out of the pool, but it is time to focus on better swimmer hygiene.
Swimming is a healthy form of exercise for people of all ages. As a physician who is trained to consider swimming pools from a public health standpoint, here's what I see: The contaminant chemicals in question, called disinfectant byproducts, are generated from chemical reactions between (a) one absolutely necessary addition to pool water (disinfectant) and (b) various unnecessary additions to pool water (organic substances, including swimmer waste products, sweat, oils, lotions, etc.).
Disinfectant: Necessary Addition
Used correctly, chlorine disinfectants are a good and necessary addition to swimming pools. Swimming pool disinfectants destroy the germs that would otherwise make swimmers sick, with everything from diarrhea to swimmers' ear and athlete's foot. Chlorine disinfectants have a unique advantage over alternatives in that they provide a residual level of disinfection, meaning disinfectant remains in pool water long after its initial application, helping to protect swimmers against harmful microbes. But we cannot stop chlorinated disinfectants –or any chemical disinfectants for that matter—from also reacting with organic substances that may be present in pool water. What we can do, and what CDC urges us to do, is refrain from inadvertently adding organic substances into the pool.
Organic Matter: Unnecessary Addition
When swimmers enter pools without first showering, they introduce perspiration, urine, fecal matteri, lotions and body oils into the water. As these substances make contact with the disinfectant in the water, chemical reactions produce an array of disinfection byproducts of variable health concern. For that reason, ridding the pool of unnecessary organic substances is a high priority of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
A 2009 Water Quality & Health Council survey of 1,000 U.S. adults found that almost half (47%) of those surveyed admit to one or more behaviors that contribute to an unhealthy pool. Roughly one third (35%) pass the shower without stopping and three quarters (73%) say their fellow swimmers fail to shower before swimming. The survey also revealed that 20% of those asked admit to "peeing in the pool." Such unhygienic behaviors are directly responsible for degrading the quality of pool water. I have also heard of swim team practice rules that no bathroom breaks are allowed. What would your child do under those circumstances?
Here's my logic: A + B → C. We want to minimize C. We must have A. Therefore, we must minimize B. We can do this by following and promoting the CDC rules for Healthy Swimming: showering before swimming, taking frequent bathroom breaks, washing our hands after using the bathroom, and never swimming when we have diarrhea. Considering the "yuck" factor alone, no one wants to swim in water that contains the organic substances that give rise to disinfection byproducts. Given the new preliminary research, we may have further reason to pay attention to swimmer hygiene.

How Much POOP is in your POOL?
CDC staff estimates that each swimmer brings in about 0.14 g of fecal matter into the pool-largely because we fail to shower or wash our 'private parts' with soap and water prior to jumping in the pool.
Multiply 0.14 g by the estimated number of swimmers in the pool and then multiply by 0.0022 to get pounds of poop in your pool. yuck!

An electrician dies after working on an energized 277V circuit. Find out why his employer wasn't held responsible.
If you routinely grab exposed conductors barehanded by their insulation to install wire nuts, you're putting yourself at high risk for electrocution. If it's a 277V circuit, chances are you won't be able to let go. And without GFCI protection or someone present to administer CPR right away, you may end up dead. The following case demonstrates the dangers of working hot.
Dispatched from a construction labor supplier, an electrician worked several days for an electrical contractor. He was found dead, dangling from his ladder, after his foreman asked him to "safe-off" a 277V circuit and then left him alone. (The task of safing-off involves insulating and securing the exposed ends of hot or potentially hot conductors.)
After the accident, the victim's family sued the employer (electrical contractor) under the Serious and Willful (S&W) Misconduct exception to the workers compensation exemption that normally shields employers from big lawsuits. They claimed the electrician hadn't been properly instructed or equipped to work on energized wiring above 300V, as required by Cal-OSHA (California Code of Regulations Section 2320.2). The plaintiff alleged that 277V was part of a 480V system and confirmed OSHA's requirement that workers must use insulated gloves when working on energized circuits above 300V.
In addition to his contention that 277V presents additional danger not present in 120/208/240V circuits, the family's attorney tried to prove this seemingly "routine" procedure was, in fact, complicated and dangerous because the victim was: 1) on a ladder; 2) working above a "T-bar" ceiling with many exposed grounds; 3) working from the back side of the metal box; and 4) working in a low light/poor visibility area. Considering these facts, the plaintiff maintained that the supervising contractor should have been on-site to enforce the OSHA Energized Wiring Regulation and therefore was negligent.
The plaintiff's expert witness presented calculations to demonstrate why 277V circuits present extra danger. Human external body resistance is accepted to be around 10,000 ohms. At 120V, this allows a 12mA current to flow through the body. A 277V circuit allows a current of 27.7mA. The threshold of perception is about 1mA, and the inability to let go (the "lock-on" threshold) begins at about 15mA.
The plaintiff alleged that allowing the electrician to work hot under these circumstances (combined with the absence of lockout/tagout kits in the contractor's trucks) constituted S&W misconduct.
According to the presiding judge, to receive S&W benefits an applicant must prove: 1) the employer knew of a serious, dangerous work condition; 2) the employer knew the probable consequences of its conduct concerning the condition would cause a serious injury; 3) the employer acted with reckless disregard for its employee's safety; 4) the employer deliberately failed to take corrective action; and 5) the misconduct was the proximate cause of the employee's injury or death.
He further wrote: "An applicant cannot establish serious and willful misconduct by showing the employer acted with negligence, even gross negligence. Citing prior case decisions: The applicant must prove an exceptionally high degree of employer fault, surpassing even gross negligence… Serious and willful misconduct, within the meaning of Section 4553, is an act deliberately done for the express purpose of injuring another, or intentionally performed whether with knowledge that serious injury is a probable result or with a positive, active, wanton, reckless and absolute disregard of its possibly damaging consequences. In sum, the provisions … were designed to penalize intentional misconduct of an employer."
After reviewing the evidence, the judge ruled against the plaintiff. "The dangers in the work the decedent was performing were open and obvious, and should not have needed explaining …The scope of the job was simple and the work techniques and hazards obvious to an experienced electrician," he wrote. "Subsection (a)(3) [of Section 2320.2] did not require using insulated gloves when working below 300V." He added, "It is worth emphasizing that at the time of decedent's accident, Cal-OSHA deemed it safe to work on exposed 277V energized electric systems without insulated gloves. Applicants suggest the failure to supply insulating blankets over the T-bar ceiling violated Subsection (a)(4). However, that subsection requires barriers to prevent contact with energized parts, not to prevent contact with grounding materials such as the T-bar ceiling." Finally, an employer "could not be found guilty of Serious and Willful Misconduct for assigning an experienced, skilled journeyman to perform a potentially risky job that was part of a journeyman's normal duties." Thus, he ordered the plaintiff "take nothing by reason of their claim."
Although some of the judge's opinions might convince us that lawyers shouldn't be responsible for assuring safe electrical wiring practices, his decision was legitimate within the legal standards for this case. However, a consistent practice of working on energized 277V systems resulted in a contractor spending a lot of time and money in court. More importantly, it resulted in an unnecessary death.
What can we learn from this case? Technically, you "work a circuit hot" even when you merely connect an appliance. In other words, an electrician should always assume a circuit is energized — even if he knows otherwise. At one extreme, fully insulating yourself and making sure you have a solid footing may be overkill for "wire-nutting" two stripped 120V wires. At the other end of the spectrum, a wiring scenario such as the one presented in this case has all the tenets of a lethal situation and shouldn't be treated as routine, despite the ruling of this judge.
Any time you're on a ladder and above a T-bar ceiling, particularly working with live 277V, you should consider yourself in grave danger of imminent death. You shouldn't work alone in the event you should accidentally come in contact with the circuit. Although it's easy to become distracted while doing routine tasks, this case demonstrates the importance of taking the small amount of extra time it takes to watch over yourself and your coworkers, making sure to use "hot-circuit" safety practices at all times.
If your client balks at shutdowns, ask him if he's willing to be responsible for the death of an electrician. Then ask if he thinks the client's employees in this case were less disrupted by the death of a worker and the resultant presence of police, paramedics, and numerous investigators than they would have been by a brief disruption in production had the electrician performed the task with the power off.

Sidebar:Electric Shock 101
One important factor that determines the severity of body damage from electric shock is the length of contact time a person has with an energized circuit. Contact time also affects the point at which fibrillation (erratic heartbeat) occurs.
Duration of contact and current path also greatly influence the effects of shock. Secondary factors include age, physical condition, and size of the victim. The lethal element of electric shock is current, although voltage, resistance, and frequency are also contributing parameters. The Table below lists the effects of AC current flowing through the trunk of a 150-lb adult male. (Current levels are approximate because of the many factors affecting the severity of the shock.)
AC 60 Hz
Perception level
No-let-go level
Fibrillation level (0.2 sec)
Fibrillation level (0.5 sec)
During electric shock, your arm muscles flex and become rigid, making it impossible for you to release your grip. The minimum amount of current causing this inability is the let-go current, which varies with frequency. Another important aspect of electric shock is the pathway a current takes through your body. This determines which tissues and organs suffer damage.

Denver is crazy for the London Olympics
[media-credit name="John Leyba/The Denver Post" align="alignright" width="270″][/media-credit]
We know Denver is insane for sports, whether cheering seven professional sports teams, engaging in personal recreation, gossiping about individual Broncos or watching the Olympic variety.
We know Colorado has produced and trained a number of Olympic athletes, Missy Franklin included. We also know KUSA is among the strongest NBC affiliates in the country. Put that all together and you have a ratings bonanza in the Denver market for NBC's Olympics coverage.
Denver ranks No. 3 in terms of viewership for the Games in London, behind Salt Lake City and Kansas City, in the five-day metered market average for Olympics viewing. The Denver market scored a 25.2 rating and 47 share (or percent of the viewing audience) so far. No numbers available on where Denver ranks among the loudest complainers about NBC's tape-delayed coverage… But we must be up there.
Note, we have some catching up to do to beat our former record. Denver ranked No. 1 for the Vancouver Games coverage and #2 for Beijing.

The Story of Life Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there, to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson, or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be (possibly your roommate,neighbor, coworker, longlost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger) but when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way. And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first, but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential, strength, willpower, or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness, and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet who affect your life, and the success and downfalls you experience help to create who you become. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you, or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious when you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because in a way, they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things. Make every day count!!! Appreciate every moment and take from those moments everything that you possibly can for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people that you have never talked to before,and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free, and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, it will be hard for others to believe in you. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life then go out and live it with absolutely no regrets. *MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!* If you LOVE someone tell him or her, for you never know what tomorrow may have in store!!!

10 quick ways to make yourself look good
The expression 'You're as young as you feel' is true. To look good and feel younger you don't have to opt for expensive cosmetic surgery. Here, we show you ten ways to knock off the years and lift your spirits.
1 'The secret of a youthful-looking body is a youthful spine,' says fitness expert Jane Wake. 'If your posture is bad, the muscles weaken, the back bends and that adds years - at any age.
'Imagine that you are a puppet with a string attached to the bottom tip of each shoulder blade with someone pulling the piece of string, but crossing it over as if lacing a corset. Pull in your tummy muscles - you'll look ten years younger immediately.'
2 Michael Cohen, psychotherapist at the South London Natural Health Centre, says: 'If you are feeling depressed about getting older, try to recapture your youth with the Anchoring Technique.
'Create a mental image of an enjoyable past experience. Just relax, close your eyes and use all your senses to conjure up that image. Try to visualise how you looked and acted, how you felt, your energy and confidence - even your posture. 'When the scene becomes really intense and you find that you are completely enveloped in it, choose a subtle physical signal - such as touching your thumb and middle finger together to bring back that image and all the associated feelings whenever you are in need of a boost.'
3 'STOP trying to arch your brows!' says top makeup artist Ariane Poole. 'If you've over-plucked your eyebrows, they may be rather sparse. Trying to shape them or draw them into arches can be ageing.
'Use a shade of brow makeup as near to your natural hair colour as possible. Start by brushing your brows in a downwards direction then using an angled brush with some brow powder or a soft, powder eyebrow pencil, brush along the top of your brows to create definition. 'Now, brush the brows back up and you'll see an immediate difference. You can then fill in any gaps from underneath. Finish with a slick of clear mascara to seal the colour.'
4 Listen to a recording of your voice. Does it sound low and rather authoritarian or even school-marmish? Try raising the pitch slightly - the lower the tone, the older people will perceive you to be.
5 Stop worrying about laughter lines. Because our faces lose fat as we age and our brows become lower, in repose we tend to look more serious, unhappy or even cross. When you smile, your face lifts immediately and your cheeks - which may have hollowed become instantly rounder and more youthful.
So, smiling and laughing can make you look years younger, and will give your spirits a boost, too.
6 Hands are probably the biggest age giveaway and if you haven't bothered to use handcream with a sun protection factor regularly then brown liver spots may add on a few years.
Ariane Poole suggests mixing a little fake tan with an anti-ageing protective handcream. This will build up a hint of colour to take away dull winter pallor.
7 Fitness expert Jane Wake says: 'The best strengthening exercise for your back - which helps your posture no end - is to get down on the floor and think of your back as a table. Have your knees under your hips and hands under your shoulders. Your tummy is the middle of the table. 'Pull your tummy in but keep your back straight. Now think of your right arm as a table extension; lift it up and lock it in by pulling in the muscles around your right shoul-derblade. Extend your left leg, straighten out and lock by squeezing your buttocks. Hold for ten seconds. Change sides and repeat.'
8 Listen to music that you loved when you were in your teens. Music releases endorphins - the body's feelgood drug - and lifts the spirits.
According to research at the University of Texas, music stimulates the regions of the cerebral cortex that stimulate memory, which takes you back to your youth.
Studies in Edinburgh demonstrated the powerful effect of music by showing that chickens listening to tapes of Top Of The Pops laid more eggs.
9 Kevin Moss, UK creative director for celebrity hairdresser John Frieda, says: 'I completely disagree with the idea that you cannot have hair that is longer than shoulder-length once you reach 40.
'Providing you have regular trims, condition it well and make sure that the colour flatters the face, long hair is fine at any age.
'Often when women suddenly have their hair cut short they are perceived as more mature - or making an attempt to look younger. Keep your hair long or even grow it.
'But very long hair or hair that is dark and going grey can look rather witch-like and is certainly best avoided - so if you cannot bear to have it cut to just below shoulder-length wear it up, pinned loosely, and let small sections fall naturally to frame your face. 'This can look stunning, especially if you have a natural wave or curl.'
10 Finally, MISS MAZLIWATI MD SHAH, author of Real Age: Are You As Young As You Can Be? suggests that one of the best ways to stay young is to have regular sex. If you need convincing, he maintains that plenty of orgasms will knock at least 19 months from your chronological age

Seabourn Adventure Beginsby Paul Motter | 10.13.11
From the food to the venues, preliminary impressions onboard Seabourn Sojourn delight.
|Seabourn specializes in pampering the cruiser - this is just one example.
I am writing this week's newsletter from my suite aboard Seabourn Sojourn, one of the three newer ships, identical triplets, introduced by Seabourn in the last three years. Seabourn is a famous luxury cruise line that has received accolades as the best cruise line in the world from many different experts and guest surveys. I have only been onboard for a few days so it is a little too early for me to make this determination, but so far the guests onboard appear to be very, very happy.
One of the outstanding aspects of this cruise line is the easy-going energy. The staterooms are comfortable, quiet and always close-by, while the public rooms are roomy and easy to navigate. There are three restaurants to choose from for each meal, as well as an alternative restaurant requiring reservations - but we haven't had a chance to try that special one yet.
So far, the restaurant I prefer is the Colonnade, which might be referred to as "The Lido Buffet" on other ships, but on this ship it also includes table-side waiter service for every meal. Our first night's dinner was a delicious "surf 'n turf" with filet mignon and lobster tail. On most cruise ships you have to wait for the captain's farewell dinner for a meal like this, but we have seen lobster offered in various forms every one of the four nights we have been onboard so far.
Great special values from Holland America!

That first night in the Colonnade there were so many varieties of seafood it felt like we raided a fisherman's wharf. Best of all were the freshly steamed mussels, a shellfish I normally will not even eat, but I devoured these delicious steam-infused chewy nuggets. They had just the right seasoning and a briny broth to make them the best I have had since the mussels we ate in Honfleur, France, on the Normandy coast.
Our second dinner was taken in the main dining room, simply called "The Restaurant." The room is elegant with just the right atmosphere; lively enough to feel good but not so loud that conversation is a challenge. The highlight of that first dinner was a dessert called "Bourbon Soufflé," so light it reached out above the rim of the colander by full half inch. It was completed by a rich vanilla and bourbon based sauce poured into a spoon-made hole in the top.

Celebrity Cruises
Our itinerary is the Fall Foliage route from the city of Quebec, along the St. Lawrence Seaway to Halifax, Bar Harbor, Maine; New York City, Norfolk, Virginia; Charleston, SC; and Ft. Lauderdale. Quebec was absolutely beautiful, the closest thing to a European city in the new world. The maple trees along the Saguenay inlet showed their bright red leaves.
The 300-sq ft. staterooms are extremely comfortable - with king-size beds and a separate seating area large enough to contain a full dining table and two chairs. They will serve dinner in your stateroom delivered from any of the onboard dining rooms as long as you order between 7:00 and 9:00 p.m., the regular dining hours onboard. The bathroom contains a shower and a bathtub. On the first day our room stewardess offered us a choice of soaps from among a menu of three different selections.
All beverages, including special coffees and wine with dinner, are included in the cruise fare. There is a room called Seabourn Square which takes the place of the front desk on most ships. Rather than a desk where you must stand in line for service, they have an area with four people seated at desks and you are welcome to walk up and order a shore excursion or make a dinner reservation. The four desks are partially hidden by large bookshelves comprising the library of the ship, and that is accompanied by a coffee bar where you can get fresh pastries, sandwiches and steamy espresso or hot chocolate infused with spiced rum -- perfect for cool day along the St. Lawrence Seaway.

The entertainment is light and somewhat predictable; four singers and two dancers performing hit songs from movies and shows. But the enrichment lectures are excellent with several speakers onboard including an expert in the history of our itinerary, a biologist speaking on whales and a historian addressing the many important events of this area.
We are just on day three of this cruise, and I will have a far more comprehensive review once the cruise is over. It always takes a few days to become used to any new ship. I can say I am already very comfortable in this spacious stateroom. There are a few little things I would change, but I would really be nitpicking to say much of anything negative right now.
Look for my updates to my voyage to be posted in our message boards in my Seabourn Sojourn Virtual Cruise.

I picked up a NAD 3020A amp. When I turn it on, a loud hum sound comes through the speakers for a second and then fades off. The problem is in the preamp section, as the amp is dead quiet when I pull the amp/preamp jumpers and turn it on. All of the pots have been cleaned. The amp works fine after the hum goes away. Someone suggest me the pre-out muting fets leak. J111 is generic so I looked here https://www.icrfq.com/part/2000795-J111.html for J111 and I got it here. I do not have a schematic for this unit. How many fets should I purchase, and where do they go?
Any suggestion will be appreciated.

Sun GlassFishTM Enterprise Server v3 provides an environment for developing and deploying JavaTM applications and web services.
As an Enterprise Server administrator, your main responsibilities are to establish a secure Enterprise Server environment and to oversee the services, resources, and users that participate in that environment. Your key tasks include configuring resources and services, managing Enterprise Server at runtime, and fixing problems that are associated with the server. You might also be involved in installing software, integrating add-on components, and deploying applications.
The following topics are addressed here:
After installation, you might need to perform some immediate configuration tasks to make your installation function as intended. If configuration defaults have been accepted, some features are enabled and some not. For an overview of initial configuration tasks for Enterprise Server services and resources, see Initial Configuration Tasks.
In addition, you might want to reset default passwords, change names or locations of files, and so on. The following tables list the default administration values.
For the zip bundle of Enterprise Server v3, the default administrator login is admin, with no password, which means that no login is required.
Domain Name
Master Password
Administration Password
Administration Server Port
HTTP Port
HTTPS Port
Pure JMX Clients Port
Message Queue Port
IIOP Port
IIOP/SSL Port
IIOP/SSL Port With Mutual Authentication
Table 1–2 Default Locations
Command-line Utility (asadmin)
Configuration Files
Log Files
Upgrade Tool (asupgrade Command)
Update Tool and pkg Command
For information on replaceables and default paths and files, see Default Paths and File Names.
Some configuration tasks must be performed directly after installation for your Enterprise Server environment to work as intended. For example, if you are using a database with Enterprise Server, you need to set up database connectivity right away.
Some configuration situations are ongoing and will require you to make changes many times during the life of your installation. You can use either the Administration Console or the asadmin utility to modify the configuration. Changes are automatically applied to the appropriate configuration file.
The following topics are addressed here:
This section maps the common configuration tasks to the command–line procedures in this guide. In some situations, the resource or service is automatically enabled and your configuration tasks involve adjusting or changing the default settings to suit your specific needs.
The following resources and services frequently require configuration immediately after installation:
The initial domain1 is created during installation. Additional configuration tasks might include such tasks as configuring additional domains or setting up automatic restart. See Chapter 3, Administering Domains.
The initial tasks for configuring the JVM include creating JVM options and profilers. See Chapter 4, Administering the Virtual Machine for the Java Platform.
By default, logging is enabled, so basic logging works without additional configuration. However, you might want to change log levels, property values, or the location of log files. See Chapter 7, Administering the Logging Service.
By default, the monitoring service is enabled. However, monitoring for the individual modules is not enabled, so your first monitoring task is to enable monitoring for the modules that you want to monitor. See Chapter 8, Administering the Monitoring Service.
System Security. Initial configuration tasks might include setting up passwords, audit modules, and certificates. See Chapter 11, Administering System Security.
User Security. Initial configuration tasks might include creating authentication realms and file users. See Chapter 12, Administering User Security.
Message Security. Initial configuration tasks might include configuring a Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) provider, enabling default and non-default security providers, and configuring message protection policies. See Chapter 13, Administering Message Security.
The initial tasks involved in configuring Enterprise Server to connect to the Java DB database include creating a Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) connection pool, creating a JDBC resource, and integrating a JDBC driver. See Chapter 14, Administering Database Connectivity .
The initial tasks involved in configuring Enterprise Server to connect to an enterprise information system (EIS) include creating a connector connection pool, creating a connector resource, editing a resource adapter configuration, creating a connector security map, creating a connector work security map, and creating an administered object (if needed). See Chapter 15, Administering EIS Connectivity.
The initial tasks involved in making deployed web applications accessible by internet clients include creating HTTP network listeners and virtual servers, and configuring the HTTP listeners for SSL (if needed). See Chapter 16, Administering Internet Connectivity.
An initial configuration task might involve creating an IIOP listener. See Chapter 17, Administering the Object Request Broker (ORB).
An initial configuration task might involve creating a JavaMail resource. See Chapter 18, Administering the JavaMail Service.
Initial configuration tasks might include creating a physical destination, creating connection factories or destination resources, creating a JMS host (if the default JMS host is not adequate), adjusting connection pool settings (if needed), and configuring resource adapters for JMS. See Chapter 19, Administering the Java Message Service (JMS) .
An initial configuration task might involve creating a JNDI resource. See Chapter 20, Administering the Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) Service.
Information and instructions for accomplishing the tasks by using the Administration Console are contained in the Administration Console online help.
After the initial configuration is working, you will continue to manage ongoing configuration for the life of your Enterprise Server installation. You might need to adjust resources to improve productivity, or issues might arise that require settings to be modified or defaults to be reset. In some situations, an asadmin subcommand is provided for updating, such as the update-connector-work-security-map subcommand. However, most updating is done by using the list, get, and set subcommands with dotted names. For detailed information about dotted names, see the dotted-names(5ASC) help page.
Dotted names also apply to monitoring, but the method is different. For information on using dotted names for monitoring, see How the Monitoring Tree Structure Works.
The general process for working with configuration changes on the command line is as follows:
List the modules for the component of interest.
The following single mode example uses the | (pipe) character and the grep command to narrow the search:
asadmin list "*" | grep http | grep listener
Information similar to the following is returned:
configs.config.server-config.network-config.network-listeners.network-listener.http-listener-1 configs.config.server-config.network-config.network-listeners.network-listener.http-listener-2 configs.config.server-config.network-config.protocols.protocol.admin-listener.http configs.config.server-config.network-config.protocols.protocol.admin-listener.http.file-cache configs.config.server-config.network-config.protocols.protocol.http-listener-1 configs.config.server-config.network-config.protocols.protocol.http-listener-1.http configs.config.server-config.network-config.protocols.protocol.http-listener-1.http.file-cache configs.config.server-config.network-config.protocols.protocol.http-listener-2 configs.config.server-config.network-config.protocols.protocol.http-listener-2.http configs.config.server-config.network-config.protocols.protocol.http-listener-2.http.file-cache configs.config.server-config.network-config.protocols.protocol.http-listener-2.ssl
Get the attributes that apply to the module you are interested in.
The following multimode example gets the attributes and values for http-listener-1:
asadmin> get server-config.network-config.network-listeners.network-listener.http-listener-1.*
Information similar to the following is returned:
server.http-service.http-listener.http-listener-1.acceptor-threads = 1 server.http-service.http-listener.http-listener-1.address = 0.0.0.0 server.http-service.http-listener.http-listener-1.blocking-enabled = false server.http-service.http-listener.http-listener-1.default-virtual-server = server server.http-service.http-listener.http-listener-1.enabled = true server.http-service.http-listener.http-listener-1.external-port = server.http-service.http-listener.http-listener-1.family = inet server.http-service.http-listener.http-listener-1.id = http-listener-1 server.http-service.http-listener.http-listener-1.port = 8080 server.http-service.http-listener.http-listener-1.redirect-port = server.http-service.http-listener.http-listener-1.security-enabled = false server.http-service.http-listener.http-listener-1.server-name = server.http-service.http-listener.http-listener-1.xpowered-by = true
Modify an attribute by using the set subcommand.
This example sets the security-enabled attribute of http-listener-1 to true:
asadmin> set server.http-service.http-listener.http-listener-1.security-enabled = true
The bulk of the configuration information about Enterprise Server resources, applications, and server instances is stored in the domain.xml configuration file. This file is the central repository for a given administrative domain and contains an XML representation of the Enterprise Server domain model. Default location for the domain.xml file is as-install/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain-name/config. For details on the domain.xml file, see Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Domain File Format Reference.
The logging.properties file is used to configure logging levels for individual modules. The file is located in the same directory as the domain.xml file. For further information on the logging.properties file, see Setting Log Levels.
The asenv.conf file is located in the as-install/glassfishv3/glassfish/config. It's purpose is to store the GlassFish-specific environment variables, such as the installation location of the database, Message Queue, and so on.
Changes are automatically applied to the appropriate configuration file. Do not edit the configuration files directly. Manual editing is prone to error and can have unexpected results.
Configuration changes often require that you restart Enterprise Server for the changes to take effect. In other cases, changes are applied dynamically without requiring that Enterprise Server be restarted. The procedures in this guide indicate when you need to restart the server.
When making any of the following configuration changes, you must restart the server for the changes to take effect:
Changing JVM options
Changing port numbers
Changing log handler elements
Configuring certificates
Managing HTTP, JMS, IIOP, JNDI services
Creating or deleting resources (Exception: Some JDBC, JMS, or connector resources do not require restart.)
Modifying the following JDBC connection pool properties:
JDBC driver vendor-specific properties
Modifying the following connector connection pool properties:
Vendor-specific properties
With dynamic configuration, changes take effect while the server is running. To make the following configuration changes, you do not need to restart the server:
Adding or deleting add-on components
Adding or removing JDBC, JMS, and connector resources and pools (Exception: Some connection pool properties require restart.)
Adding file realm users
Changing logging levels
Enabling and disabling monitoring
Changing monitoring levels for modules
Enabling and disabling resources and applications
Deploying, undeploying, and redeploying applications
For the most part, you can perform the same tasks by using either the graphical Administration Console or the asadmin command-line utility, however, there are exceptions.
The following Enterprise Server administration tools are described here:
The Administration Console is a browser-based utility that features an easy-to-navigate graphical interface that includes extensive online help for the administrative tasks.
To use the Administration Console, the domain administration server (DAS) must be running. Each domain has its own DAS, which has a unique port number. When Enterprise Server was installed, you chose a port number for the DAS, or used the default port of 4848. You also specified a user name and password if you did not accept the default login (admin with no password).
When specifying the URL for the Administration Console, use the port number for the domain to be administered. The format for starting the Administration Console in a web browser is http://hostname:port. For example:
If the Administration Console is running on the host where Enterprise Server was installed, specify localhost for the host name. For example:
For Microsoft Windows, an alternate way to start the Enterprise Server Administration Console is by using the Start menu.
You can display the help material for a page in the Administration Console by clicking the Help button on the page. The initial help page describes the functions and fields of the page itself. Associated task instructions can be accessed on additional pages by clicking a link in the See Also list.
The asadmin utility is a command-line tool that runs subcommands for identifying the operation or task that you want to perform. You can run asadmin subcommands either from a command prompt or from a script. Running asadmin subcommands from a script is helpful for automating repetitive tasks. Basic information about how the asadmin utility works can be found in the asadmin(1M) help page. For instructions on using the asadmin utility, see Using the asadmin Utility.
To issue an asadmin subcommand in the standard command shell (single mode), go to the as-install/bin directory and type the asadmin command followed by a subcommand. For example:
asadmin list-jdbc-resources
You can invoke multiple command mode (multimode) by typing asadmin at the command prompt, after which the asadmin> prompt is presented. The asadmin utility continues to accept subcommands until you exit multimode and return to the standard command shell. For example:
asadmin> list-jdbc-resources
You can display a help page for any asadmin subcommand by typing help before the subcommand name. For example:
asadmin> help restart-domain
asadmin help restart-domain
A collection of the asadmin help pages is available in HTML and PDF format in the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Reference Manual.
Enterprise Server provides representational state transfer (REST) interfaces to enable you to access monitoring and configuration data for Enterprise Server, including data that is provided by newly installed add-on components. For more information, see Using REST Interfaces to Administer Enterprise Server.
Enterprise Server provides a set of image packaging system (IPS) tools for updating software on a deployed Enterprise Server. Typical updates include new releases of Enterprise Server, and new or revised releases of Enterprise Server add-on components or modules.
The Update Tool graphical utility can either be run in the Administration Console, or invoked from the command line by using the updatetool command. You can use either tool to add components. However, to update or remove existing components, you must use the standalone version. Instructions for using the graphical versions of the Update Tool are contained in the Administration Console online help and the standalone Update Tool online help.
The pkg command is the command-line version of Update Tool. Instructions for using the pkg command with add-on components are contained in Chapter 10, Extending Enterprise Server.
Two distributions are supported for GlassFish Enterprise Server v3: the Web Profile and the Full Platform Profile. After installation, you can view the modules on your system by using the graphical Update Tool or the pkg command.
If you chose the Web Profile, you can change to the Full Platform Profile by selecting the comparable Full Platform Profile package in Update Tool. All dependent modules are automatically added.
You can add and delete individual modules from a distribution, but such configurations are not supported.
If you need information on upgrading your domain configuration data to work with a new version of Enterprise Server, see Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Upgrade Guide.
The OSGi module management subsystem that is provided with Enterprise Server is the Apache Felix OSGi framework. To enable you to administer this framework, the Apache Felix Remote Shell is enabled by default in Enterprise Server. This shell uses the Felix shell service to interact with the OSGi module management subsystem, and enables you to perform administrative tasks such as:
Browsing installed OSGi bundles
Viewing the headers of installed OSGi bundles
Installing OSGi bundles
Controlling the life cycle of installed bundles
The Apache Felix Remote Shell is accessible to telnet clients from anywhere in the network. To connect to the Apache Felix Remote Shell through the telnet service, use the telnet(1) command as follows:
telnet host felix-remote-shell-port
The host where the DAS is running.
The port for connecting to the Apache Felix Remote Shell through the telnet service. Enterprise Server is preconfigured to use port 6666 for this purpose.
To see a list of the commands that are available in the Apache Felix Remote Shell, type help at the Apache Felix Remote Shell prompt.
To exit the Apache Felix Remote Shell, type exit at the Apache Felix Remote Shell prompt.
This example connects to the Apache Felix Remote Shell for a domain that is running on the local host and that uses the preconfigured port for connecting to this shell through the telnet service.
telnet localhost 6666
After the connection is established, the following information is displayed:
Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. Felix Remote Shell Console: ============================ ->
This example runs the Felix Remote Shell Command ps without any arguments to list all installed OSGi bundles. For better readability, some bundles that would be listed by this example are not shown.

The keytool utility is used to set up and work with Java Security Socket Extension (JSSE) digital certificates. See Administering JSSE Certificates for instructions on using keytool.
Java SE provides tools to connect to an MBean server and view the MBeans that are registered with the server. JConsole is one such popular JMX Connector Client and is available as part of the standard Java SE distribution. For instructions on implementing JConsole in the Enterprise Server environment, see Configuring JConsole to View Enterprise Server Monitoring Data.
The application server management eXtension (AMX) API exposes all of the Enterprise Server configuration and monitoring JMX managed beans as easy-to-use client-side dynamic proxies implementing the AMX interfaces.
Information and instructions on performing most of the administration tasks from the command line are provided in this document and in the asadmin utility help pages. For instructions on accessing asadmin online help, see To Display Help Information for the asadmin Utility or a Subcommand).
Information and instructions for accomplishing the tasks by using the Administration Console are contained in the Administration Console online help.
Instructions written for the Enterprise Server tools use standard UNIX® forward slashes (/) for directory path separators in commands and file names. If you are running Enterprise Server on a Microsoft Windows system, use backslashes (\) instead. For example:
UNIX: as-install/bin/asadmin
Windows: as-install\bin\asadmin

I sure do wonder how these things happen. This is the first time for me. Please, if you receive any odd emails from me (someone received one about weight loss) please do not click on any links or think I sent them. I did not. I thought something was strange when I tried to get into my account and Yahoo was telling me there had been some unusual activity & I needed to change my password. You would think people had better things to do.

Mary Jane's Cross 'N Stitch
I have many other things I could write about today other than this company, but I believe it is important to get the word out. The company is Mary Jane's Cross 'N Stitch. They are located in Murphy, Texas. Their website is http://www.maryjanes.com/.
They brag on their website that they have been "Your Mail Order source for Counted Cross Stitch supplies since 1977." I find it extremely hard to believe that this company could have stayed in business for 6 months.
On April 13 of this year, I sent an order to Mary Jane's for some chenille trim & a button. I received an automated "thank you for your order." As of April 27, I had not received my order. I wrote an email asking for the status. No response. On April 30 I once again sent an email asking for the status of my order. Again I received no response. I even tried contacting them twice via their website form. No response.
On May 3, I once again wrote to ask the status of my order, informing them that I had already sent them 2 emails & 2 website form requests for an update without a response. They actually responded to this email 3 days later on May 6. They told me they were waiting for a couple of the trims & the button. They informed me that these items were due to arrive that week & they would ship them to me as soon as they received them.
On May 17 my order had still not arrived. I wrote to Mary Jane's telling them this was ridiculous & I refused to put up with such poor service any longer. I told them to cancel my order.
Imagine my surprise when yesterday, July 19 ... exactly 3 months & 6 days after placing my order, & 2 months & 2 days after telling Mary Jane's to cancel it ... my order arrived.
I wrote to Mary Jane's this morning & told them their "customer service" is beyond laughable. I told them I would keep the order even though they had the nerve to send it to me after I told them to cancel it. I also informed them that I would post my experience with their company on my blog to alert others to how they treat their customers. That is what I'm doing now.
I'm sure my next blog post will be a more fun one than this.

It's Been Over a Week!
I think this is the first time in my blogging history that I haven't posted anything in over a week. My excuse is that between physical therapy visits, home exercises, dieting, & constant tiredness, it's been that sort of time. I have been taking photos along the way, however, so I have a few goodies to share with you : )
I wish everyone a happy 4th of July ... even my foreign friends : ) Nothing special will be going on here. It will be a day like any other day. Maybe I'll get in some extra stitching time though : )
