The Booktopia Book Guru Asks
Gregory Day,
author of
The Patron Saint of Eels, Ron McCoy's Sea of Diamonds and now The Grand Hotel,
Ten Terrifying Questions
1. To begin with why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself – where were you born? Raised? Schooled?
I was born on Shakespeare's birthday, in Cotham Road Kew, and undoubtedly that was my greatest moment. After being expelled from an atheist kindergarten in the suburbs of Melbourne I was fortunate to be taught by Carmelite priests and brothers in a bush setting.
2. What did you want to be when you were twelve, eighteen and thirty? And why?
When I was twelve I wanted to be Joe Strummer from The Clash, when I was eighteen I wanted to be stoned, and when I was thirty I wanted to be a swagman. Although others might doubt it, in my own way I feel I've achieved all of these ambitions.
3. What strongly held belief did you have at eighteen that you do not have now?
That the earth was round. I know now that it's a lot bumpier than that. I must admit also that back then I thought writers were particularly interesting people.
4. What were three works of art – book, painting, piece of music, etc – you can now say, had a great effect on you and influenced your own development as a writer?
Such Is Life by Tom Collins, which is Australia's great neglected literary masterpiece; La Route Montante by Paul Cezanne, which hangs in the National Gallery of Victoria, and Music For Airports by Brian Eno, which I first heard as a teenager in a black church in the Otways.
5. Considering the innumerable artistic avenues open to you, why did you choose to write a novel?
To me reading is an almost sacred activity and the great novel is its high mass. The novel is so deeply powerful as an art form because of the investment of time and faith it demands. A good novel can sweep you up, quarry you out, illuminate you and truly inhabit your life. And, of course, although the writer composes the sentences of the novel the reader is a full participant in the imaginative process and far from a mere voyeur.
6. Please tell us about your latest novel…
In a crazy world, so brutal and so beautiful, I wanted to express my version of a heartland in the liveliest way. And so, The Grand Hotel was written with the cork out and is essentially a story about the fine line between laughter and tears. It's set in an unlikely, artistic, iconoclastic and uproarious hotel in the coastal bush of Victoria. Like Australia itself the book is full of colourful, confronting, and hopefully entertaining juxtapositions, and as the story unfolds and the characters deepen, the borders between the colonial past and the global present, the strictures of reality and the freedom of the imagination, really begin to blur.
7. What do you hope people take away with them after reading your work?
I'd love my readers to feel more in touch with the natural world, more at home in their own skin, and to smile at the mere thought of The Grand Hotel.
8. Whom do you most admire in the realm of writing and why?
I admire Joseph Furphy (alias Tom Collins) for his incredibly gifted local eloquence and humour, and W.B.Yeats for his incomparably cosmic and fine crafted poetry.
9. Many artists set themselves very ambitious goals. What are yours?
To write what the heart and mind demand rather than from any notion of a career.
10. What advice do you give aspiring writers?
The horse of the mind must submit to the harness of the word.
Gregory, thank you for playing.
Note from Booktopia Buzz's Toni Whtmont:
Gregory Day holed up at the Bundanon (Arthur and Yvonne Boyd's inspirational property) to write the first draft of The Grand Hotel and you can feel the landscape breathe through this story from its opening scenes. The novel starts with Noel emerging from weeks of self-enforced exile, living in fact as a swagman, to gradually re-connect with the town of his youth. Noel eventually becomes the unlikely publican of an even more unlikely hotel. There is a lot to recognise about ourselves in The Grand Hotel, although I defy anyone to name another pub where random dadaist recordings are played as musak in the men's loos!

Taken the year before he died in 1884, this photograph of the artist George Fuller is by fellow artist J. Wells Champney (1843-1903). With a studio in both New York City and in Deerfield, Mr. Champney was a painter, but was also intrigued with the relatively new craft of photography. This picture, taken in Mr. Fuller's studio in the Bars section of Deerfield, Massachusetts, shows the subject holding his large palette as he looks toward a painting in progress fixed to an easel.

I recently finished a book called "I Loved, I Lost, I Make Spaghetti" by Giulia Melucci. The book was a quick read, and a wonderful mix between Sex in the City and Bon Appetit. The book takes you through Guilia's dating life, along with the food she makes along the way. Recipes sneak into many of the pages, so the creations can be made by the reader.
When I read her crab cake recipe, made for her boyfriend at the time as an "all American dish," I thought I could give it a try with the crab I had from a month ago (frozen) on this Fourth of July Weekend.
I have to admit I have tried crab cakes before and although they are always good, I could never get the texture just right. I am unsure if it was this particular recipe or my previous "practice," but these cakes had the perfect crab cake texture. After reading more on the subject, I have a few tips for making crab cakes that don't turn into crab scramble.
1. Make sure your recipe includes an egg as a binder.
2. Make sure your recipe includes some panko/bread crumbs as an additional binder.
3. Make sure to refrigerate for at least one hour to solidify before baking or frying.
Now that I have the basics down, I might get creative with this classic recipe – but for now, this is one of the best crab cakes I have ever had. I created a lemon mayo sauce to be served on the side.
Thanks to Giulia Melucci for her recipe, adapted from Bon Appetit Magazine.
Serves 2
2 tablespoons celery, minced
2 tablespoons scallions, green parts only, minced
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 egg
1 1/2 teaspoons dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/3 pound crabmeat
1 1/2 cups panko
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 lemon, cut into wedges
In a medium bowl, mix together all but the olive oil, butter (and lemon wedges, of course). Shape into 4 patties. Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, for at least 1 hour.
Over medium heat, fry in olive oil and butter until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Serve with lemon wedges.Yields 4 small crab cakes (2 per person).
Add 2-3 tablepoons of mayo with lemon juice, cayenne pepper and salt to taste. Put a dollop on the crab cakes.

By following the U.S. Department of Agriculture's food guide, called MyPlate, you can make healthier food choices. The new guide encourages you to eat more fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and low-fat dairy. Using the guide, you can learn what type of food you should eat and how much you should eat. You also learn why and how much you should exercise.
Alternative Names
There are 5 major food groups that make up a healthy diet:
- Grains
- Vegetables
- Fruits
- Dairy
- Protein foods
You should eat foods from each group every day. How much food you should eat from each group depends on your age, gender, and how active you are.
MyPlate makes specific recommendations for each type of food group.
Grains: Make at Least Half of Your Grains Whole Grains
- Whole grains contain the entire grain. Processed grains have had the bran and germ removed.
- Foods with whole grains have more fiber than food made with processed grains.
- Examples of whole grains are whole-wheat flour, oatmeal, and cornmeal.
- Examples of processed grains are white flour, white bread, and white rice.
Most children and adults should eat about 5 to 8 servings of grains a day (also called "ounce equivalents"). Children age 8 and younger need about 3 to 5 servings. At least half those servings should be whole grain. An example of one serving of grains includes:
- 1 slice of bread
- 1 cup of cereal
- 1/2 cup rice
- 5 whole-wheat crackers
- 1/3 cup cooked pasta
Eating whole grains can help improve your health:
- Reduces the risk of heart disease
- Helps you lose extra weight
- Helps you have regular bowel movements
Ways to eat more whole grains:
- Eat brown rice instead of white rice.
- Use whole-grain pasta instead of regular pasta.
- Replace part of white flour with wheat flour in recipes.
- Replace white bread with whole-wheat bread.
Vegetables: Make Half Your Plate Fruits and Vegetables
- Vegetables can be raw, fresh, cooked, canned, frozen, canned, dried, or dehydrated.
- Beans and peas can be counted either as a vegetable or a lean protein.
Most children and adults should eat between 2 and 3 cups of vegetables a day. Children age 8 need about 1 to 1 1/2 cups. Examples of a cup include:
- Large ear of corn
- Three 5-inch broccoli spears
- 2 cups of raw, leafy greens
- 2 medium carrots
- 1 cup 100% vegetable juice (carrot, tomato)
Eating vegetables can help improve your health:
- Lowers your risk of heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes
- Helps protect you against some cancers
- Helps lower blood pressure
- Reduces the risk of kidney stones
- Helps reduce bone loss
Ways to eat more vegetables:
- Keep plenty of frozen vegetables handy in your freezer.
- Buy pre-washed salad and pre-chopped veggies to cut down on prep time.
- Add veggies to soups and stews.
- Add vegetables to spaghetti sauces.
- Try veggie stir-fries.
Fruits: Make Half Your Plate Fruits and Vegetables
- Fruits can be fresh, canned, frozen, or dried.
Most adults need 1 1/2 -2 cups of fruit a day. Children age 8 and younger need about 1 to 1 1/2 cups. Examples of a cup include:
- 1/2 large apple
- 8 large strawberries
- 1/2 cup dried apricots
- 1 cup 100% fruit juice (orange, apple, grapefruit)
Eating fruit can help improve your health:
- Lowers your risk of heart disease, obesity, and type 2 diabetes
- Helps protect you against some cancers
- Helps lower blood pressure
- Reduces the risk of kidney stones
- Helps reduce bone loss
Ways to eat more fruit:
- Put out a fruit bowl and keep it full of fruit.
- Stock up on dried, frozen, or canned fruit, so you always have it available. Choose no-sugar-added canned fruit.
- Buy pre-cut fruit in packages to cut down on prep time.
- Try meat dishes with fruit, such as pork with apricots, lamb with figs, or chicken with mango.
- Grill peaches, apples, or other firm fruit on the grill for a healthy, tasty dessert.
Protein Foods: Choose Lean Proteins
- Protein foods include meat, poultry, seafood, beans and peas, eggs, processed soy products, nuts, and seeds. Beans and peas are also part of the vegetable group.
- Choose meats that are low in saturated fat and cholesterol.
- Most adults need 5 to 6 1/2 servings of protein a day (also called "ounce equivalents"). Children age 8 and younger need about 2 to 4 servings.
- An example of a day's serving of protein for adults includes 1 small chicken breast, 1 egg, and 1 tablespoon of peanut butter.
- Include 8 ounces of cooked seafood a week.
Eating lean protein can help improve your health:
- Keeps your cholesterol levels healthy.
- Seafood high in omega-3 fats, such as salmon, sardines, or trout, can help prevent heart disease.
- Peanuts and other nuts such as almonds, walnuts, and pistachios, when eaten as part of a healthy diet, can help lower the risk of heart disease.
Ways to include more lean protein in your diet:
- Choose lean cuts of beef, which include sirloin, tenderloin, round, chuck, and shoulder or arm roasts and steaks.
- Choose lean pork, which include tenderloin, loin, ham, and Canadian bacon.
- Choose lean lamb, which includes tenderloin, chops, and leg.
- Buy skinless chicken or turkey, or take the skin off.
- Grill, roast, poach, or broil meats, poultry, and seafood instead of frying.
- Trim all visible fat and drain off any fat when cooking.
- Substitute peas, beans, or soy in place of meat at least once a week. Try bean chili, pea or bean soup, stir-fried tofu, rice and beans, or veggie burgers.
Oils: Eat Small Amounts of Heart-Healthy Oils
- Oils are not a food group. However, they provide important nutrients and should be part of a healthy diet.
- Fats such as butter and shortening are solid at room temperature. They contain high levels of saturated fats or trans fats. Eating a lot of these fats can increase your risk of heart disease.
- Oils are liquid at room temperature. They contain monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. These types of fats are generally good for your heart.
- Children and adults should get about 5 to 7 teaspoons of oil a day. Children age 8 and younger need about 3 to 4 teaspoons a day.
- Choose oils such as olive, canola, sunflower, safflower, soybean, and corn oils.
- Some foods are also high in healthy oils. They include avocados, some fish, olives, and nuts.
Weight Management and Physical Activity
MyPlate also provides information about how to lose excess weight:
- You can use the online SuperTracker to learn what you currently eat and drink. By writing down what you eat and drink every day, you can see where you can make better choices.
- You can use the Daily Food Plan to learn what to eat and drink. You just enter your height, weight, and age to get a personalized eating plan.
- Use the SuperTracker to track your daily activity and food you eat, plus your weight.
You also learn how to make better choices, such as:
- Eating the right amount of calories to keep you at a healthy weight
- Eating less and avoiding big portions
- Eating fewer foods with empty calories. These are foods high in sugar or fat.
- Eating a balance of healthy foods from all 5 food groups
- Making better choices when eating out at restaurants
- Cooking at home m
ore often, where you can control what goes into the foods you eat
- Exercising 150 minutes a week
- Decreasing your screen time in front of the TV or computer
- Getting tips for increasing your activity level

Gibbage Cases is an interesting home grown venture that takes advantage of 3D printing to produce a protective case for your HTC 8X Windows Phone. The cases are the creation of Kevin "Gibbage" Miller that have been designed with three principals in mind. Protection, Design and Function.
The Gibbage Case protects the soft outer coating and corners of the 8X by creating a small buffer between the Windows Phone and harsh surfaces. The design is minimal to complement the HTC 8X's native design and the case hopes to be functional by giving the 8X a little more grip, easier access to the buttons all the while not interfering with wireless charging (Verizon models) and other core phone functions.
The Gibbage Cases are a work in progress with limited color selections. Apparently the dyes in the 3D printing process will leach into the soft case of the 8X. While the cases are only available for the 8X, Miller is working on designs for the Nokia Lumia 920.
Depending on the design and color, the Gibbage Cases are running in the neighborhood of $25-30. The Gibbage Case does make a nice first impression as being a stylish case for your HTC 8X. We've got a review unit heading our way and we'll get a review up as soon as possible.
In the meantime you can find out more on the Gibbage Case here and offer your thoughts on the cases in this Windows Phone Central Forums discussion.

Brilliant. Sharon has been fantastic from the start. We have not been the easiest of customers (changing our mind about the hotel and then who was coming on the trip and we mistyped names on passports, and we changed the room allocations etc etc) and Sharon remained helpful, friendly and professional the whole time. And she also sorted out paying the hotel tax when we were in Barcelona - responding unbelievable quickly to our SOS email! I would not hesitate to recommend FHT to colleagues. Thank you Sharon, we couldn't have done it without you!

"We like to have an idea of where they are in the fall," said Forehand. "But doing this as long as we have we recognize that the fall and spring are two different seasons. Sometimes guys have above average falls and they come into the spring and are not what we thought they were. And we have players who don't play well in the fall, but in the spring they are really good.
"I think we have a pretty good barometer of where we are as a team going into November. If we played tomorrow we know how it would be. When we meet with them prior to Christmas break they will know where they stand and the role they might fit into."
This week the players, including 21 newcomers, have been undergoing a baseball version of final exams in the "Bisons World Series", a series of intra-squad games.
In the first game Monday senior right-hander Josh Smith, the only pitcher remaining from the top three starters last season; and senior right-hander Matt Bowling were given strong looks by Forehand and new Bisons pitching coach Tyler Shrout.
"Josh threw a lot of pitches but only gave up one run in the first and one in the third," said Forehand. "Josh gets stronger as the game goes on. If we had played a regular game he would have been back out there for three more innings. And he would have been better the second three innings than he was the first three."
Bowling has been used as a spot starter and in long and short relief. This fall he has made strides towards holding down a spot in the starting rotation.
"Matt has really come on and shown us he is ready for a different role," said Forehand. "He has pitched with confidence all during the fall. He is throwing the ball hard and throwing a lot of strikes.
"He is making strides to go into a starting role of us. I think he could really help us. We need to get his arm on a weekly rotation instead of throwing in relief here and there."
Forehand thinks his pitchers have improved this fall. He also likes what he is seeing offensively as well.
"We are going to be a little different offensive team than we were last year," said Forehand. "Base running-wise I think we are going to be able to pressure the defense more. Everybody has pretty good speed. We are able to force the defense into some action and not just sit back and wait for someone to hit a ball into the gap."
Senior outfielder Tyler Wilson returns. He was first overall in base stealing last season in the Atlantic Sun with 25 and was second in A-Sun games only with 13. Also providing speed on the base paths will be sophomore outfielder Antonio Butler, sophomore utility player M.L. Williams and freshman outfielder Ricky Coleman.
"Those are the four guys who can run the best," said Forehand. "But we have several other guys who can run. We are hopeful we can play at little different pace."
Last season Justin Sanders and Allen Bolden were the main players with home run power. Both are gone this season.
Forehand is counting on freshman catcher Brett Teschner, senior infielder Ryan Wilkins, sophomore infielder Tennyson Dodd; and juco transfers Zach Messer, Cory Hale and Josh Chism.
"I don't know if we will have one guy hit 20, but we have several guys with the potential to hit eight to 12," said Forehand. Forehand is anxious to see what his team will do when the regular season begins.
"I want to see how we are going to shake out," said Forehand. "If we started tomorrow we would have four guys, five counting the DH, who were actively playing on offense last year.
"We have the potential to have a new catcher, a new second baseman, a new shortstop and a new third baseman. We have more depth than we had last year."

Saying it's been awhile is an understatement. Almost 2 years without a new vulnerable VM and over 2 years without a blog post. I only have myself to blame, but work and family life takes up most of my waking hours. This is a hobby and hobbies come last.
I must start by saying how shocked I am with the reception my VMs have received since their inception. Over the past 24+ months, I've gotten so many nice messages and e-mails from people saying they enjoyed them. A few of my VMs have actually been mentioned in books, which was a pleasant surprise… So to all that have enjoyed them, and used them as reference material (or what have you) a big thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I never expected this little project would turn out the way it did. This just proves, if you put a bit of effort and time, anything can happen.
Why the new VM
The original idea behind my VMs has always been about learning, not only for the people downloading them but for me as well. With each new VM, I always try to do something "different", something to take me out of my comfort zone… just a bit, just enough so I can learn something new and hopefully remember it. Installing old unsupported software from source on a newer OS or just using a flavour (or flavor) of Linux I've never tried before. It doesn't have to be something huge, just something I don't know or not too comfortable with. For me, trying and reading is one of the ways I learn.
This new machine is no different. I had an idea in my head, wanted to know a bit more about it and saw an opportunity to apply it in a VM (however
g0tm1lk g0tmi1k kind of pushed me a bit to release a new one). I didn't spend 2 years building this thing, but in the short amount of time it took me to build it (2 weeks… 3?) I got very familiar with what's in there.
Why build these things…
Which brings me to another point I wish to blabber about, why build these things. As mentioned above, it's primarily to learn. To experiment and discover different operating systems and software. Get more acquainted with compiling, installing and uninstalling (just to name a few). The great thing about this is, you'll ask yourself questions and if you're lucky bugs to look up and fix. At the end of the day, that's the point really… to figure things out on your own.
If you're building a VM to submit to vulnhub.com (as an example), then you need to pay attention to how your machine reacts to scans and attacks. You need to figure out what works and what doesn't.
Why does attack "A" work but not "B"?
What if…
Why this…
Why that… You can learn lots if you take the time to ask yourself questions.
So I've come to the part where I'm babbling and writing for the sake of writing which is my queue to stop. Hope you enjoy the new VM.
About the VM
As usual, this vulnerable machine is targeted at the beginner. It's not meant for the seasoned pentester or security geek that's been at this sort of stuff for 10 years. Everyone needs a place to start and all I want to do is help in that regard.
Also, before powering on the VM I suggest you remove the network card and re-add it. For some oddball reason it doesn't get its IP (well I do kinda know why but don't want to give any details away). So just add the VM to your virtualization software, remove and then add a network card. Set it to bridge mode and you should be good to go.
This was created using ESX 5.0 and tested on Fusion, but shouldn't be much of a problem on other platforms.

Renntech releases Mercedes SLS AMG long tube headers, +20 horsepower, $8200Renntech has released their Mercedes SLS AMG long tube headers. They don't come cheap, MSRP being $8200. They seem to be a quality piece that is ceramic coated. Power claims are 20 horsepower and 20 pound-feet of torque but there are no dyno or performance numbers to substantiate any power claims. The headers include 200 cell sport cats and we wonder what the gains and price would be without the integrated cats.

LOL......20 hp? Stupid integrated cat. Seriously?
V12Godspeed - 03-12-2011, 09:51 PM
I am almost certain this brings a pack of lube to go with the installation. Seriously.
People who do not know better will buy it. It definitely will be a quality piece just overpriced compared to what headers for this motor should cost. SLS tax in effect.
guys as i have said before i frequent a race shop and i know what it cost to make things, now i understand because of the price of the car and how rare it is the r&d must cost more money, but that ends after a point!!!i have 4500 evo sport headers in my car and i think thats expensive!!! i know shops that build headers with cad and is able to check the gas flow and temp all on the computer so they dont even need a car to test it or fabricate it
- Going catless on the 6.2L engine makes the exhaust sound way too loud for some people. Having a catalytic converter in place controls some of that sound.
- Sometimes there is an added gas smell without cats.
- Maintain some type of back pressure or torque levels.
Regarding "going catless making exhaust too loud" I would think adding some resonators would be a better option for reducing sound while maintaining performance benefit from no cats. But, that would still trigger the issue of smell, which many people would not like for DD or at least weekend driving.
As far as maintaining back pressure goes, I ran a catless setup on my last car for a few weeks (blower, LT's, catback) and when I installed the LT's, which removed the cats, my torque rose. Obviously, that's from the LT's but these are headers for the SLS and I would think torque wouldn't be a problem.
Anyway, just adding my thoughts. I think you make valid points.

BMW M5 Hurricane RR Touring Details:
German tuner G-Power holds various top speed world records for its BMW builds. Since 1983, it has focused solely on this Bavarian brand. In 2010, its M5 Hurricane sedan broke the world's fastest sedan record at 231mph. This time it chose an E61 BMW M5 Touring model because of its rock solid high-rev 5.0L V10 engine.
Modifying the Bi-Kompressor System allowed for a total power output of 830hp and 582.6 lb-ft (790Nm) of torque. The RR wagon then went on to set the record for world's fastest station wagon after reaching an electronically limited 224mph (362km/h). The force behind the streetable Hurricane RR Touring are of course the performance products. Past the plush cowhide and Alcantara within are 20-inch G-Power Silverstone R2 wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport tires, G-Power G5-Rs 9-way adjustable coilovers, 396/380mm rotors front and rear, a ceramic brake kit and two fully tuned ASA T1-136 superchargers.
The wildest part of all this is not only the performance but also the design of the leather and tech-rich cabin. When you think fastest anything, you think a stripped down and caged land rocket. G-Power invested in the core idea of building the ultimate station wagon, capable of long road trips with the crew or eyeball shaking sprints down the Autobahn.
It succeeded, and the package is for sale. For the uber exclusive tuner with pockets as deep as the Mariana Trench, an identical Hurricane RR Tourer will set you back around $330957 (242016 euros).

Recap of JavaOne 2006
As usual, JavaOne was full of announcements from Sun and other companies. I am going to try to give you a snapshot of the announcements and provide you with links where you can find out more about each product or technology. Visit the JavaOne website for more information on announcements and presentations.
Three themes seemed to emerge from the conference. The first was various product announcements from multiple companies and groups, the second being Sun's role in the Open Source arena, and thirdly, building a stronger Java community. The third topic came up multiple times during the conference. Numerous executives encouraged conference attendees to join the JCP and participate in making Java and its various components stronger.
Release of the Java EE 5 Platform
Sun announced the release of Java EE 5 platform, formally formerly referred to as J2EE. The aim of the Java EE 5 platform design has been to streamline the features of its predecessor, J2EE 1.4, and add convenience, improve performance, reduce development time, and help developers get products to market that much sooner.
For a great introduction to the Java EE 5 platform go to http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2EE/intro_ee5/.
Release of the Java EE 5 SDK
Java EE 5 SDK is a free integrated development kit that one can use to build, test and deploy Java EE 5-based applications. Included in the SDK is the Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9, which implements the latest Java EE 5 technologies and provides features, aimed at improving developer productivity. The Java EE 5 SDK includes
- Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 9
- Java EE 5 Samples
- Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition 5.0 Update 6
- Java BluePrints
- API documentation (Javadoc)
There are three versions of the SDK:
- Java EE 5 SDK
- Java EE 5 SDK SOA Starter Kit Preview
- Java EE 5 Tools Bundle Beta
Java EE 5 SDK SOA Starter Kit Preview
The Java EE SDK SOA Starter Kit includes everything in the Java EE 5 SDK plus http://java.sun.com/integration/openesb/starterkit.jsp, which allows you to integrate web services and enterprise applications as loosely coupled composite applications, realizing the benefits of a service-oriented architecture (SOA).
Java EE 5 Tools Bundle Beta
You can find everything you need for all three versions of the SDK, plus more, at http://java.sun.com/javaee/sdk/index.jsp
Sun Launches AJAX, JavaScript Developer Hubs
What is a conference these days without the mention of Ajax? Sun highlighted that Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) 6, has support for AJAX components in its Sun Java Studio Creator tool.
As part of this initiative, Sun is also launching two new developer portals:
- The JavaScript hub will become your one-stop resource for all things related to JavaScript technology.
- Check out the section on Project jMaki to see the "best parts of Java and JavaScript to deliver rich AJAX style widgets".
- The AJAX hub for a very good site covering Sun-oriented solutions and a lot of information on JavaServer Faces components using AJAX with the Java Studio Creator IDE and more.
Four New Plug-ins for NetBeans IDE
Sun announced four new plug-in modules for the open source NetBeans integrated development environment (IDE).
The new plug-in modules include Jackpot, Real Time Java technology, Web Services Interoperability Technology (WSIT) and Grid Compute Server for NetBeans. The new toolkit additions embody Sun's commitment to bring new ideas directly from Sun engineers to the developer community.
Jackpot Module
The Jackpot module - intelligent code re-engineering - was developed by Sun Labs. It provides the ability to perform scriptable transformations on Java technology source code. The Jackpot module enables "next-generation refactoring" - global source code transformations based on a comprehensive model of the project's structure.
Jackpot can be used to find bad coding practices and repair them, or upgrade projects to use new versions of libraries. These changes are either made with scripts that use a custom Java pattern matching language, or with Java classes that extend the Jackpot transformation engine. The module comes with support for writing transformations so that it is easy to develop and distribute custom transformations within engineering organizations.
Real Time Java Technology
The Real-Time Java module provides editing support for applications using real time APIs for Java technology (JSR 1), while supporting the cross-platform development features needed to create real-time applications intended for specific devices. Real-Time Java technology regulates the ability to reliably and predictably reason about and control the temporal behavior of program logic.
For the 2006 JavaOne Conference, Sun developed a Slot Car Programming Challenge to expose developers to Real Time Java technology. Developers who enter the Challenge will write a polling loop using Real Time Java technology to gather sensor data and give the small, 1/24 scale cars the appropriate voltage to move around the track. The 10 best times at the end of the Conference will get prizes and the top three will be invited to participate in a "race off" during James Gosling's keynote on Friday, May 19, 2006.
Web Services Interoperability Technology (WSIT)
WSIT is a key component of the Sun internal project code-named "Tango" and part of the ongoing web services interoperability efforts between Sun and Microsoft. The WSIT module will help facilitate development of cross-platform web services. WSIT provides ground-breaking capabilities that enable higher levels of quality of service and reliability than is typical in web services software today. Sun is releasing a NetBeans 5.5 plug-in for WSIT to help facilitate development of cross-platform web services.
Compute Server Plug-in for NetBeans
Compute Server Plug-in for NetBeans helps developers take advantage of countless opportunities for innovation that are presented by the Sun Grid Compute Utility (http://www.network.com). Sun is changing the nature of computing by delivering access to enterprise compute power over the Internet with its Sun Grid Compute Utility. Sun Grid provides easy and affordable access to an enormous computing resource for the predictable and all-inclusive price of $1/CPU-hr.
The Compute Server plug-in is intended to help Java technology developers use the Sun Grid Compute Utility for the distributed execution of parallel computations. The plug-in supports Java developers' use of familiar NetBeans development and debugging tools to create applications based on the Compute Server programming model. Significant features include Compute Server project templates, support for local (off-grid) debugging and automatic packaging of application code and data for delivery to the Sun Grid. The Compute Server plug-in is available for free download under the Apache License 2.0, as part of the Compute Server project, a Sun Grid Developer Community project hosted at computeserver.developer.network.com.
For more information about any of these modules visit: http://www.netbeans.org.
Sun Advances Open Source Strategy
Sun it is accelerating its support of open source through the release of key Java technologies including the award-winning Sun Java Studio Creator, market-leading Sun Java System Portal Server, Sun Java Studio Creator and the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) Engine from the Sun Java Composite Application Platform Suite (Java CAPS), as well as Sun's Java Message System (JMS)-based message queue and Web Services Interoperability Technology (WSIT).
Sun is releasing the next set of components from the Java Enterprise System as part of its ongoing strategy to open source its entire middleware software stack.
- The Sun Java System Portal Server 7
- The first open source release from the SeeBeyond acquisition, the Java CAPS BPEL Engine, is available as part of the Open ESB Community at: http://java.sun.com/integration/community.jsp. Sun's BPEL Engine automates orchestration of complex business processes and workflows, spanning Web services, systems, people, and companies.
Sun is also releasing its award-winning Sun Java Studio Development Tools as part of the NetBeans.org community.
- The innovative and highly regarded Java Studio Creator toolset for rapid visual development of standards-based Web applications will be made open source this year.
- The complete set of Java Studio Enterprise code, a complete package of UML, BPEL-based Web services orchestration and advanced XML editing tools, is now available at: http://www.netbeans.org/products/enterprise/index.html.
Building on the momentum from the release of Java Platform Enterprise Edition (Java EE), Sun is supporting the development and evolution of Java technology by open sourcing additional Java platform components.
- Through the Open MQ project hosted on http://mq.dev.java.net, developers and end users gain access to an enterprise-class Java Message System (JMS)-based message queue.
- Web Services Interoperability Technology (WSIT), a collection of WS-* implementations, focused on the areas of security, messaging, quality of service and metadata support, to help drive web services interoperability between Java technology and the .NET framework.

Franco-German friendship in Baghdad
The German Ambassador to Iraq, reports about the joint ceremony with the French Ambassador in Baghdad to mark fifty years of the Élysée Treaty.
Brita Wagener, the German Ambassador to Iraq, reports about the joint ceremony with the French Ambassador in Baghdad to mark fifty years of the Élysée Treaty.
In Baghdad, too, the French Ambassador and myself celebrated the 50th anniversary of the Franco-German Treaty of Friendship on 22 January 2013 – which, given the security situation, was not a matter of course. Although conditions have improved in recent years, the continuing risk of attack still considerably impairs our activities. For example, I can only visit places which are not too exposed or unprotected and are not located right next to a busy road. However, a room on the top floor of the Ishtar hotel with a wonderful view of the city and the Tigris was quickly identified as a suitable venue.
Joint ceremony with Iraqi and international guests
My own and my French colleague's speech, an exhibition and a documentary on the history of the Élysée Treaty were well received by the around 200 guests from the world of politics, the diplomatic corps and Iraqi civil society, as were the French wine and the German beer served with the meal.
French Ambassador Denys Gauer, who delivered his speech in German, described the unique nature of the relations between our two countries as follows: "Germany and France have always had an issue with Alsace and Lorraine. I was born in Lorraine. Although I am French I have a German name. My mother tongue was not German but it was a German dialect."
In my address, which I gave in French, I talked about personal experiences linked to the Franco-German friendship, about my stay in Angoulême as a 16-year-old exchange student and later about a Foreign Office colleague who, while on an exchange at the Quai d'Orsay, spoke on behalf of France at a CSCE conference – much to the surprise of the German delegation.
A small contribution to normal social life in Baghdad
The Franco-German success story made many Iraqis think, given the internal strife and Iraq's difficult relations with some of its neighbours. At the same time the event rendered a small contribution to normal social life in Baghdad, a life which the inhabitants of the city must rebuild following dictatorship, wars and occupation.

Review: Michi Michi Rainbow land
Hi dears!
Today I would like to show you a new review about the etsy shop Michi Michi Rainbow land!
The shop sells a lot of different accessories like tights, necklaces, rings, etc. perfect for j-fashion outfits. My review will be about three different items and I hope you'll like them!
I got the parcel in a few days after shipping, maybe I didn't get a parcel so early in my whole life ahah everything was carefully packed and everything had its protective plastic envelope, I also got the business card of the shop as well (it's too cute!).
The first item I would like to talk about is the tights! It's a lovely tatoo tights with a fake over the knee sock with a cute panda over it, the special thing is the tiny pink cheeks are little jems, they're not printed! I found it really interesting and different from the usual tights you can find on ebay. The quality is really good, the material is thick so you don't have to worry of crushing them after only one use, the print is well done and it's still perfect when you wear it! You can find them here.
An easy and cozy outfit wearing the tights! As you can see they're perfect when you wear them!
The second item is a gorgeous necklace perfect for gothic looks. It has a big pendant with a black frame and an amazing blue/green stone, the effect is fabulous under the light! Even if it's quite big it's really light when you wear it and the quality is really good, it's plastic but very sturdy. It's available in other great colors too! You can find it here.
The last item is a lovely tiny purse, perfect to keep some coins or little makeup items. It has a little chain so you can attach it on your purse if you want! And look at this cute and grumphy face....it's the BEST thing I've ever seen ahahah, for a cat addicted like me it's the most adorable item in the whole world! The quality is really good, the material is really soft inside and outside! You can find it here.
I definitely recomend to buy items from Michi Mich Rainbow land! Lovely items for good prices and inside Europe, so you don't have to worry about customs and long shipping time! Let me know of course if you already know it and if you like their items!

Packaging of Ada programs
This document describes all there is to know about Ada in Fedora.
Ada programs in Fedora MUST be compiled, if possible, using the default Ada compiler in Fedora gcc-gnat. As usual, standard Fedora optimization flags
%{optflags} MUST be used in the compilation. If possible project SHOULD have makefile and configure script
Ada libraries
The Policy for Ada libraries is mostly interesting if you want to package libraries. If you only want to use libraries, see Package Libraries
Files placing
All Ada include files '*.adb' and '*.ads' MUST be placed in the standard include directory: either directly in
%{_includedir} , or if headers have general names or upstream recommends having an own directory, in e.g.
Ada projects files MUST be placed in
%{_libdir}/gnat/ directory of if project have several '*.gpr' files in e.g.
Ada Library Information '*.ali' files SHOULD reside in %{libdir}/%{name}/*.ali.
Rpmlint and Ada packages
rpmlint is a program that checks packages for common problems. For ada packages, some of the rpmlint messages can be disregarded.
Devel packages
Ada packages MUST package Ada specification files (*.ads), Ada body files (*.adb) and GNAT project (*.gpr) files in -devel package. The devel package MUST provide all source files (specs and bodies) necessary for compilation of code that uses the library. The directory with all Ada source files MUST NOT contain any Makefiles or any other files that might be necessary to recompile the library. The -devel package SHALL NOT provide any *.o files.
- Ada Library information
- The -devel package SHALL provide Ada Library Information (*.ali) files that gcc-gnat creates when compiling the shared (relocatable, not static) library. The '*.ali' files SHOULD reside in
- GNAT project file
- The -devel package for each library SHALL provide a GNAT project file named
%{_libdir}/gnat/%{name}.gpr. You SHOULD point ADA_PROJECT_PATH="/usr/lib64/gnat" to build in packages depends on %{name}
- The project file MUST have a
Source_Dirsattribute containing at least
- The project file MUST have a
Library_ALI_Direqual to
- The project file MUST have a

Hull Magicians' Circle have been donated a large collection of books and equipment from Michael Kerridge. Michael Harrop has catalogued the books and will be displaying them for purchase. The donor has agreed for the proceeds to be split between his chosen charity and the club.
After the interval a recording of the TV special 'Lost Magic Decoded' will be shown.

To quote: "In his TV Special 'Lost Magic Decoded' Steve Cohen brought together a dream-team of magicians and magic historians - John Gaughan, Eddie Dawes, David Berglas, Bill Kalush, Peter Lamont, and Ken Klosterman - to explore and perform vintage magic tricks from years gone by. The two-hour special premiered on the History Channel on October 18th [2012] and was viewed by an audience of 1.5 million nationwide."
Featured tricks include the Indian Rope Trick, The Bullet Catch, Robert-Houdin's Light and Heavy Chest and The Turk, Von Kemplelen's Chess-Playing automaton.

Green Day debut 'Oh Love' video
Oh, look! "Oh Love" premiered. ("Oh Love" being Green Day's first music video for upcoming album ¡Uno!) And — oh my — the era of rock-opera spectaculars like American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown is definitely over.
Instead, the video invites us along for one of the more mundane aspects of the rock 'n' roll lifestyle: band practice. Green Day's there. (Obviously.) And just so we don't accuse "Oh Love" of being Oh Lame, they've invited some standard-issue eye candy: a few dozen of their closest tattoo-model friends — who seem to be more into each other than "Oh Love's" textbook power-pop riffs.
Oh well.
Earlier this year, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong told MTV News that their upcoming album trilogy — ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!,¡Tre! — is all about "getting back to basics" and lead single, "Oh Love," is driven by one of those rock 'n' roll fundamentals. The track's inspiration? "Shooting from the crotch area."
Video director Samuel Bayer obviously shared the same P.O.V.
Yesterday, Green Day was added to the performers' list for this year's MTV Video Music Awards. ¡Uno! is out September 25.
Watch "Oh Love" below:

Sandra Hyatt Books & Biography
Rhonda can't remember when she hasn't had her nose buried in a book, and most likely, her husband can't, either. Though she took several creative writing courses in college, she never considered a career in writing until her mother pointed out - as mothers are everlastingly wont to do - that she should give it a try. Thus, after giving up her dream of becoming an intergalactic princess or a mermaid - it was a toss-up because both are so cool - an author was born! (Thank you, Mumma.)
Rhonda married her very own hero many moons ago, and she and her family make their home in a small town in northern Alabama. Between volunteering at her children's school (she's practicing a new word called "no") and the typical glamorous duties of a domestic goddess (does it ever end?), she escapes into her office where it's safe to talk to the voices in her head, to tell their stories, and hopefully to entertain her readers. If you like a little giggle amid the sizzle, then her books just might be for you.

Here\'s what\'s happening in the world of banking Friday morning:
A Broncos fan, sort of: Jamie Dimon, CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., is heading to his first Super Bowl ever on Sunday, right across the river from Manhattan. The bank titan, who grew up in Queens, at first told a crowd of employees that he would dress neutral. When asked who he\'d root for, he said the Broncos — but then again, he was speaking in Denver. The Denver Post has more.
(Guess who won\'t be crossing the Hudson River to MetLife Stadium: New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who said he would \"watch the game on TV, just like the vast majority of New Yorkers.\")
A million here: Goldman Sachs Group Inc. CEO Lloyd Blankfein will receive a pay bump. He stands to earn $23 million for 2013, a rise of about 9.5% from 2012 and his highest payday since the financial crisis. (Dimon also got a raise for 2013.)
A million there: Goldman\'s high rollers in Europe needn\'t worry about getting stiffed: The bank has found ways around the European Union\'s caps on banker bonuses.

Funding & Grants | News
The University of Southern California (USC) has received $1.9 million to support research and expand its digital holdings in the humanities. The grant comes from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, which specifically supports research universities and scholarship in the humanities as one of its funding areas.
The university has committed to investing a billion dollars in support of digital knowledge and informatics over the next 10 years.
The five-year grant will enable the institution to support four postdoctoral researchers and 10 Ph.D. students on two-year fellowships; the university will fund employment of an additional four postdocs. The money will also be spent on digitization and storage of research materials, best practices workshops, and undergraduate summer fellowships.
USC maintains the Digital Repository, which has a team for supporting large-scale digitization, imaging services, physical preservation, mass conversion of one media to another, cataloging systems, and design and deployment of software infrastructure. Participants that support the repository include members of the USC Libraries as well as its Digital Library, the USC IT Services group, and the Shoah Foundation. The latter makes audio-visual interviews with Holocaust survivors and people who have lived through genocide experiences. It includes 52,000 digitized, indexed, and searchable testimonials.
The university's School of Cinematic Arts is also immersed in digital media, with a specific focus on the use and future of media and digital technologies. "We are proud that this grant recognizes and provides support for the cutting-edge scholarship and media creation being done at our school, particularly for the Institute for Multimedia Literacy (IML), which benefits students across the entire university," said Elizabeth Daley, dean of the school. The IML was founded 15 years ago, sparked in a conversation with filmmaker George Lucas. The institute will soon offer a "digital humanities certificate" for students who complete at least three courses of four courses: Digital Media Workshop, Techniques of Information Visualization, Tangible Computing, and Digital Pedagogies.
In order to promote the spread of digital scholarship, the university said researchers whose work is supported through the Mellon grant will make their digital sources available to other scholars through the Digital Repository.
"We're at a really early phase," explained Peter Mancall, the grant's principal investigator and vice dean for the humanities in USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences. "The digital humanities can embrace new ways of doing research. Part of doing this project will be to figure out what those ways actually are."
