Is there a way to isolate the domain, repository, service classes each in a separate maven module (with a roo managed multi module)?
dependency/module chain could be something like this:
service -> repository -> @RooJpaEntity class
I tried to setup this with roo but noticed that the generated integration tests for a @RooJpaEntity class got a back reference to either the repository or the service (autowired). The back reference was noticed in the aspect {Entity}IntegrationTest_Roo_IntegrationTest.aj which was generated in src/test/java of the domain module.
Did I hit a current limitation with this?
Thanks a lot for any advice.
All in the same maven module works like a charm!
p.s. SpringSource rocks! Thanks a lot guys.

From Hardwood to Hotels
What's most important to hotel guests? You'll get no penalty if the word "service" immediately came to mind. Guest service is and always will remain the essence of hospitality, but in this age of a transient population hotel cleanliness has overtaken service in the eyes of the traveling public, according to research conducted by Booz and Company. That sentiment is at the heart of Best Western International's rollout of its I Care Clean program this year.
"Cleanliness is important, but cleaning practices haven't changed much. We wanted to take it to a different level," Ron Pohl, Best Western's senior vice president of brand management and member services said during a showcase of the new program at the Best Western Plus Bloomington Hotel at Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn. The hotel is owned by Regency Hotel Management of Sioux Falls, S.D.
And that it did.
Two years in the making, the I Care Clean program being rolled out across all 2,200 Best Western hotels in North America—more than 700 have already implemented the program—is a somewhat high-tech type of housekeeping. It brings advanced technologies that are used in hospitals, including UV wands and backlights, even "clean" remote controls, to the hotel to turn housekeeping into as much a science as an art.
"I Care Clean is about empowering the housekeeping staff," Pohl said. "We think this is a game changer in the hospitality industry."
At first glance, the concept might not register to the naked eye. And that's precisely the point of the program. Today's travelers list cleanliness as a top priority for more reasons that simple "icky" factors. Fears over viruses such as H1N1, E. Coli, and influenza often have travelers worried about what they might pick up by staying in a transient room occupied by many people over time. With its new program, Best Western is offering a solution to easing those fears. But its aim is to reach consumers in subtle ways.
"Word of mouth is the best marketing," Pohl said. He and other Best Western officials on hand for the demonstration pointed out that the hotels already implementing the program have seen a noticeable difference in guest satisfaction scores. They said that guest satisfaction scores at properties using the new program have risen 13.3 percent in "overall experience, 12 percent in "cleanliness of room" and 12.4 percent in "intent to recommend." Pohl said that many of the comments have come before the company even announced the program because guests have seen room attendants using the new tools.
While not replacing traditional cleaning procedures, I Care Clean adds an element of inspection to the process and puts it in the hands of room attendants. "We are unlocking the potential of the housekeeping profession by providing new tools and training to help ensure customer satisfaction, loyalty, and ultimately trust," Pohl said. "We believe this program will do just that."
In the process, Best Western is admitting that germs and other "biologicals" are left in hotel rooms. Using black lights and UV wands, a room is cleaned and then sanitized, especially in high-touch areas such as phones, light switches, door handles, and bathroom fixtures. Following cleaning and disinfecting, the room attendants will now scan all rooms with black lights and use the wands to sanitize anything that may be found via UV light. According to the company, the UV wand kills 99 percent of bacteria.
"It's a new way to think about housekeeping," said Michael Nalley, Best Western's senior manager of education and training, who along with Colby Hutchinson, hospitality management trainer, lead the training of hotel managers and front line staff on the new program.
The new program isn't limited to the black lights and wands. The hotels will also feature clean remotes, originally developed for hospital recovery rooms. The remotes are designed specifically to be easy to disinfect. In addition they are wrapped in one-time use material that alerts guests that the remote has been disinfected and covered until they use it. A similar wrap is used for extra blankets in the hotel rooms.
Pohl said the program is an expensive one for the company—he estimated the investment to be $500,000 and $1 million companywide. For individual hotels, the purchase of the tools runs a few thousands of dollars. But the payback is, "it builds trust in the brand, and loyalty from the guests," Pohl said.
Training for the individual hotels is done in two parts. First a regional one-day training program for property managers takes place. Then, a four-hour on-site training for front-line staff is performed.

Also is a person that will fuck a dog in the mouth, jizz on the dog, lick the jizz off the dog and then suck off the dog. They will not use willing dogs, so this is rape. If you see a Layne, shoot it, it will rape you. Look at that guy talking about absolutely pointless shit to his friend, he must be a Layne, get me a gun.

I have a four year old daughter with cerebral palsy. She wears braces on both feet, for which I have to buy wide shoes. I'm not at all pleased with the selection of wide shoes carried in the store. The only place I'm able to find wide shoes is Stride Rite, but there is absolutely no way I can afford $40.00 or more for a pair of kids shoes that last maybe 6 months. Why aren't there wide shoes in the character shoes, like Dora the Explorer for example? I know I'm not the only parent frustrated with the lack of wide shoes available. I've talked to other parents that have a hard time finding a pair of wide shoes at an affordable price. Of the three or four pairs of wide shoes I did see today, one was a pair of boys black dress up shoes, and the others were sandals, which are adjustable, so why are they in a wide? I would like Payless to contact the shoe manufacturer and explain that they need to start making more shoes in a wide size. Or I'd like for Payless to carry more of a selection for wide shoes in the store. I shouldn't have to be looking online for wide shoes at the Payless website. I'd like to see them in the store.
Are you kidding? My 13 son is very atletic, 5 foot, 6 inches andweighs a whopping 110 pounds, soaking wet!!! Unfortunetly, due to hisGENE POOL he was born with wide feet, requiring EE hockey skates, andlacrosse cleats. He hates that he can't even find a Nike shoe to fithis feet. You sound very ignorant! Why not educate yourself beforeyou spew your venomous opinions.
It really must be hard for you with such tiny tiny feet, no wonderyour so MAD!!!! lol
I agree with your letter 100%. I don't have wide feet but I do havelarg feet (size 11) I can never find anything at Payless and even inother places it's a pain in the you know where to find dress shoes inmy size. I usualy end up buying shoes that fit my older sister (whohas a smaller foot) and getting blisters for the one time I wear themand then giveing them to her because they are to small. I think 90% ofher shoe collection is things that I had to buy and wore once maybetwice before giveing to her. Luckly she understands and pays me backand allways grabs anything remotly cute in my size when she isshopping whether I need it or not.
Payless carries no shoes in narrow or slender at all. They are a cheapshoe store and are only concerned with mainstream sizes.
I don't think that Payless is the best contact for this; I wouldsuggest the shoe designers. I think that this is a great letter,however, and I like that it's concise. If your daughter's pediatrician would be willing to writeprescriptions for her shoes, your insurance probably wouldn't coverthem BUT they'd be a medical tax writeoff at the end of the year. Sounds like your kid's got a mommy who cares. Awesome.
Payless can't satisfy every customer. After all, it is Payless!
Silly question, but---have you tried KMart or Target? Whenever Ibrowse their shoe aisles, seems all I see are dozens and dozens ofshoes in wide sizes. I take a 4 or 4-1/2. Try getting that size shoefor business dress! Good luck!
I have calf-length braces on both feet. I've never had an issue atPayless. Half the time, what I buy is on sale around 50% off. If youreally don't like the selection, see your orthopedist and ask whereelse you can purchase affordable shoes that might fit your daughter'sfeet. This will get easier as she gets older, as I doubt nobody inhigh school would wear Dora the Explorer shoes! Until then, seek analternative, or special order at your local stores.
Maybe when your daughter gets a little bigger and her feet stopgrowing so fast, you might try Doc Martens. They are relativelypricey, but they wear like iron. I have had the same pair since highschool and they are still going strong. (Class of '97 if you'rewondering) Also, they are honest to goodness orthopedic shoes, andhave nice comfy wide soles. I have found them as low as $50-75 onsale, and they will last *well* over six months!
When I was a kid, my parents ALWAYS had a hard time finding shoes forme because I had a wide width foot too. I feel your frustration foryour daughter. I never got the cute or cool or stylish shoes, I hadto get whatever fit my foot. They were always expensive and they wereALWAYS ugly! I hated it! Sadly, I will never know the joy of wearingManolo Blahniks or Jimmy Choos and my big old feet! ; ) I would also contact Stride Rite and ask why they never carry anylicensed character shoes and do they have any programs for specialneeds children to get special sized shoes for less money? I remembereven back in the day they were very expensive. You shouldn't have tomortgage your house for something that is a necessity. Just wondering too, are Buster Brown or Kinney Shoes still around? Iremember sometimes getting shoes there too. Maybe if they are stillaround, they have something that could help you out. Good luck - I hope you find what you need.
You've written a great letter. I hope Payless listens to you.
It never hurts to ask about these things and I hope they at least giveyou a response. I think the reason that discount shoe stores have such a narrow sizeselection is that is costs more money to manufacture a wider sizeselection and the prices would have to go up to reflect that. For whatever reason, Payless has chosen to stick with low price/lowsize selection thing and Stride-Rite has chosen to do the higherprice/better size selection thing. I also have a child with a disability and find it frustrating to paymore for clothing which will fit him. I speak up and make suggestionsto businesses, but understand that not all of them will be possiblefor the business to implement.
I hope they listen to you too, and not just in the children's section! I wear a five-and-a-half wide, on the rare ocassions when I can findthem, otherwise I have to slide around and get blisters in sixes orsix-and-a-half's. My fiancee wears a nine EE, which is super wide,and the only shoes he can find are Red Wing boots, which are ugly andexpensive. I can only imagine what will happen when we have kids,talk about "Flinstone Feet!"lol. It would be really nice if storescarried sizes that fit all types of people, not just "average" people. I've never met an "average" person, but I know they would have notrouble shopping if one existed! Good luck!
Yikes! Sorry to hear that. I hope they listen to you :) It sounds like it's in their best interest to comply with yoursuggestion. If they don't respond to e-mail (it sounds like a lot ofcompanies don't), you should definitely phone or even make a petitionor something.
My now 4-year-old had what I called "Fred Flintstone feet" when he wasa toddler and learning to walk. I had to buy him wide shoes, andunfortunately, the only place that had ones that fit were Stride Rite. Stride Rite has an outlet in my area, you may want to check that outin the mean time. I really hope Payless listens to your suggestion.
I totally agree with you! My daughter had to wear braces on her feetwhen she was younger, and it was HELL trying to find shoes wide enoughto accomodate them without paying a fortune. I hope that Paylesslistens to your suggestion!
Both of my children have wide feet and the only store I can find anyselection at is Stride Rite. Do you hve an outlet near you? CHeck outstores like Marshall's and TJ Maxx also, I have had good luck therefinding Stride Rite shoes. "and the others were sandals, which are adjustable, so why are they ina wide?" The straps on sandals are adjustable, but the sole isn't.That is why they are made in a wide. The bottom part of the foot iswide, it would be pretty uncomfortable to have you foot hanging overthe edge.

A good value, the only temporary negative was when we were removing the plastic from the pads. They had a strong unplesant smell at first, most likely from the components they are made from.

Why is there so much interest in Bigfoot? Why are we searching for aliens? Why is there so much interest in what lays "outside of us" when obviously it's "what's inside" that matters most? Aha – I've got the answer; time-and-time again we've found no answers to our problems by examining self, so now we look to those "things" of myth and little science for the answers to life.
An alien (not sayin' I'm not one) had just finished a six-billion-mile journey to this third-rock orbiting around a medium-sized star. After first empowering the crafts invisibility-cloaking device, he'd take a day or two to psychoanalyze and examine the "nature and actions" of earth-life before stepping in to say "hello". History points out that after that examination, being wonderfully intelligent – he'd de-cloak and without any hesitation go to yet another place. As any intelligent alien would – she'd pass-up stopping by any life-force that fails the "tests of intelligence and compassion". And people if there's a failure (an 'F') in a life-force - it's found in the species known as homosapien (human).
Now I fully understand why unidentified flying objects (UFOs), and Bigfoot for that matter - are always seen leaving the scene. They've left because of these primary reasons: she (the alien) would have to be white, or black, or yellow – well let's just say she'd have to be in the empowered color-majority wherever she first approaches human life, he would have to worship the "God" of those in the empowered color-majority he first seeks to touch, and finally, after a quick-read of human history – she'd have to be just to the left-side of insane. If you were given the opportunity to be an alien of superior intelligence and compassion (not sayin' I'm not one) you would never seek contact with the humans - for the vast-majority have failed the following life-force tests: compassion, literacy, morality, ethics, and perhaps the greatest – the "consistency of truth."
Speaking of truth, hey was it not just a year ago that there was a pulpit-rant related to drinking and purchasing liquor on Sundays? Didn't they, the ranter's, warn those who listened of the reduced "power of the house", the coming dramatic increase of Sunday drunkenness, many alcohol induced accidents, and a dramatically increased crime rate? Well, here we are almost a year later and that never happened - and the ranter's knew it wouldn't. In 2007 were there not pulpit-rants related to the Mormon faith being anti-Christian, polytheistic, and opinions expressed that persons of such religions should not be elected to high-office? It's amazing how humans and houses-of-power simply alter their beliefs based on what appears to best for them – Oh yes, another "F" in life-force testing.
Seems both aliens and Bigfoot have left the scene (once again) and lately we've listened to the presidential debates (as of this writing: Romney 1 – Obama 1). Obvious it is that we should listen as the Aliens would, with openness to intelligence and compassion. We must test the statements made in these debates with research and achievable (reachable) goals. It just might help if we listen to these debates with our hearts and not simply "watch" with our eyes. There are two types of humans who will watch these debates – those whose hearts and minds are predetermined by political-party and personal bias and those who will listen, research and then decide based on truth. Hmmm - the intelligent and compassion-filled alien just might want contact with the later…

on saturday, about 40 of our csa members gathered for the bossy season kickoff, and to say it was awesome is an understatement.
a packed house with standing room only!
connecting on twitter and facebook are lively in their own ways, but there's something particularly delicious and nutritious about meeting face-to-face. we're very passionate about what we do, and being able to communicate that to a group of kickass supporters and fellow food lovers was a stellar way to start the season off right.
steeped in the goodness of the blue ox coffee company, we were able to zip through the logistics of dropsite pickups and csa add-ons, and riff on our views about farming and the community.
it won't come as a surprise to any of you, but we're all about food as medicine — the preventative kind that nourishes and delights. in a very similar way, our community sustains and supports us. seeing so many people voicing their agreement with these principles made our bossy hearts melt a little.
we sure do love you guys.
also during the meeting, we were also able to articulate some ways that we aim to stand out: with our "no waste pledge," weed n' feed wednesdays, dirty thursdays, farm fresh fridays, and csa member events during the season.
as a bonus, you don't have to be part of the csa program to be a member in our farm community. everyone is welcome to come out and weed and get dirty and help us pack up vegetables.
or just come visit us at the fulton farmers market on saturdays, starting on may 19. we'll be there with the same zesty enthusiasm for making this a bossy season indeed.
the csa kickoff reminded us of why we started a farm in the first place: to feel connected. to each other, to ourselves, to our food and our land. but also connected to others.
you fuel our excitement for what's ahead, so thanks for such a perfect kickoff.
(*big thanks to our csa members for these photos)

This is day 4 in my ramp up to Super Bowl 47 with helping you step up your game to host the best football party of the year.
Today I'm tackling desserts.
Most of us have a sweet tooth, and no matter how good we want to be if we are on a diet, or swear to ourselves not to touch any sort of dessert, you end up doing so.
Especially while attending a Super Bowl Party.
Desserts for your big game bash range from cakes, candies and ice cream to brownies, fudge, cookies and other goodies.
For something a little different, this is a recipe from Epicurious for Chocolate Dulce de Leche Bars.
It's a fairly simple preparation with not a lot of ingredients needed. But the key ingredient is the dulce de leche.
You can now buy dulce de leche already prepared (best idea) or you can make your own like this.
Make something that is definitely a fan favorite, as opposed to the old, "buy a bag of candy and let the monsters tear it up," method.

The US company has acquired all rights for the feature documentary which was recently screened at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival and follows the case of 38 year-old Joyce Vincent, who died in her London apartment in 2003.
Vincent's skeleton was not discovered until three years later in her flat, where the TV and heating were still on. Morley (The Alcohol Years) has said she made the film so Vincent would not remain forgotten.
Strand will release the documentary in the US on August 3 after buying the rights from Entertainment One.
The film features a series of dramatic reconstructions of Joyces life that were partly filmed in Dublin with the film receiving funding from the Irish Film Board. The documentarys reconstructed scenes were shot at Hannay Studios in north Dublin with Vincent played by English actress Zawe Ashton (St. Trinian's 2: The Legend of Fritton's Gold).
Post-production on the feature was done at Dublin post house Egg with all of the grading, finishing and digital cinema print carried out by Sebastian Guest and Edel McDonnell. Other Irish crew who worked on the shoot included costume designer Leonie Pendergast; art director Emma Lowney; third assistant director Mike Hays and sound recordist Robert Flanagan.
Dreams of a Life was co-produced by Irish producer James Mitchells (Ordinary Decent Criminal) Soho Moon Pictures alongside Britains Cannon and Morley Productions.
The project also received support from Film4, Shoot For The Moon and the UK Film Council.

I am on Day 2 on my quest for an Imposter Ditto (I've checked-biked-checked-bike so so many times...) and I have a question. I've heard that the contents and gender of the item/pokemon within the grotto are set upon regeneration, but you can soft-reset for nature and IVs.
In order to successfully soft-reset to change natures/IVs, should I save before entering the grotto, or can I just save while standing right next to the pokemon?

Going Green: What Companies are Really Green?
By: Kailey Franz
Updated: May 27, 2010
Its a big deal in some places, companies claiming to be 'green.' If you want to be sure, you may want to do some checking
Most people in the environmental community are pleased with the national trend to 'go green' but some warn us to watch out for "greenwashing."Greenwashing is a person or product that professes to be green but really aren't. David Byman of the Sierra Club says consumers should do a little research. "Follow the money! Where are these companies really putting their money? And that will give you the answer. I mean, of course you may have to go through several sources for that."
Byman suggests checking websites that track corporate "green efforts." before you do business with a company that claims to be green.

Set Visit: An Introduction to 26 Members of the Green Lantern Corps
Features By Scott Beggs on May 17, 2011 | Comments (6)Last year, I had the honor of traveling down to New Orleans, piling in a van, heading to a secluded warehouse and talking to an alien. I also spoke with the first human member of an elite group of interstellar heroes, a director who has more energy than anyone at his age has a right to, and I got a glimpse into a world beyond our own. So before comic book purists protest the insanely small number listed in the headline, these are the Green Lanterns hanging up on a wall somewhere in New Orleans – character design sketches to fill out the alien landscape of those who bravely, selflessly, and fearlessly patrol the universe. Some were born from the comic books, others from the minds of the production team. Some will be featured heavily, others will be hanging out (valiantly) in the background. We'll be bringing Green Lantern set visit coverage to you all week, but to get things started, we figured it would be a good idea to do a round of introductions. Some you already know, and some you haven't yet had the pleasure, so we wanted to make it official. Green Lanterns, meet the world. The world, meet the Green Lanterns.

Is Superintendent's Paid Leave Connected to Financial Audit?
By: Bill Palmer
Updated: January 28, 2013
Plenty of mystery and few answers from the Millcreek School District today, as school officials push back on revealing why superintendent Michael Golde is on paid leave.
Action News learned from informed sources that Michael Golde's sudden departure may be connected to the results of a recent audit of the district's finances.
Elizabeth D'Aurora has more on this story.
We have asked Millcreek School District officials to see that audit, which was paid for with public tax dollars, but so far the district has refused to make it available.
And repeated calls to the district's publicly funded auditing firm Felix and Gloekler, who did the audit, have not been returned since we broke this story last week.
What's surprising is that the audit we want to inspect is the one Felix and Gloeckler reported in a legal notice in the Erie Times News at least three times, stating that it was available for public inspection.
So when we took this notice to the district today, communications director Erika Howland told us that that notice was a mistake, the accountant was in error, and it's not available to the public.
Action News attempted to find out when the error was discovered and when the retraction to the legal notice was subsequently published in the newspaper. And that's when the district's communications director stopped communicating, and instead referred us to the district's solicitor, Tim Sennett.
Sennett says he could not comment until the meeting tonight where he says he will provide more information, but he says the notice was properly printed in the paper and thus should have been given to us when we requested it.
What we also know is that all of these developments have cast a huge cloud of uncertainty over the proposed renovation of McDowell High School and the relocation of Gus Anderson Field, which has a price tag approaching 100 million dollars.
Even school board president Terry Scutella is now publicly questioning the project, and did not return a phone call today.
We asked the question, if the district's finances and leadership are not in question, why all of sudden are some supporters of the project questioning it? What do they know that you don't?
The group that has opposed the plan from the start , No New McDowell, is expected to make its position known on all of this at tonight's school board meeting.

CAPITAL REGION, N.Y. -- With the cold temperatures, it's important to keep your pets safe.
Frostbite can set in faster for animals when they are outside, damaging their paw pads, noses, ears and eyes. So remember to limit their exposure to cold, stay outside only as long as you need to and leave your pet inside when you can.
Veterinarians say frostbite can have serious complications.
"Unfortunately, many of the most severe cases of frostbite require amputation. The tissue is so damaged that there is not a whole lot we can do to restore circulation and save the digit," said veterinarian Elise Craft.
And don't forget to wipe your pet's paws. City streets and sidewalks are often coated in salt and sand that can be irritating.

Letter to Madhudvisa, revised
by Hansadutta das
Hare Krishna
Dear Madhudvisa Prabhu,
Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.
Just the other day you sent out an email practically glorifying Ramesvara as a truthteller. Why are you promoting him? We are concerned that he has some intention to make a comeback on the ISKCON and BBT Int'l, Inc. stage (Ramesvara wants back in BBT). In the past he has shown himself to be duplicitous, ambitious, cunning and disloyal, and what kind of restitution has he made to demonstrate that he is a changed person with sincere intentions to serve Srila Prabhupada and preserve Srila Prabhupada's books? more

Young artists from the Altus High School arts program have contributed originals of their work to be auctioned at the Shortgrass Arts and Humanities Council's Festival of Trees. Pictured with samples of their art are (left to right): Darbi Latham, Drake Babb and Scott Henderson.
These students have been studying art in the Altus school system for many years and are now students of Bobby Avila at the High School. They have been inspired by southwest scenes, our cowboy and western heritage, and Native American themes. Darbi works in acrylics on various backgrounds and has created a western scene for her auction piece. She plans to attend OSU in pre-med. Drake also works in acrylics and has contributed an untitled canvas of a Longhorn. He plans to attend UCO and study graphic design. Scott is interested in vast array of subjects and is creating a Native American portrait for his auction piece. He plans to attend OU with a major in history and continue his art training. Together they offer a unique sampling of their individual artistic talents. These young artists have graciously contributed their works to the Festival of Trees auction in order to help provide continued funding to support the arts in southwest Oklahoma.
The Festival of Trees will be held Thursday, Dec. 13 at 6:30 p.m., at the Altus Best Western. This festive evening offers musical entertainment and great food; along with the silent and live auctions of unique Holiday items and great gift and travel packages.

According to the National Association of Realtors, the tide is turning in 2013, and a more competitive selling environment lies ahead.
Jupiter, FL (PRWEB) February 04, 2013
Homesellers can expect competitive pricing this year as the real-estate market continues to move forward in its recovery, the National Association of Realtors' chief economist told Fox Business in January. (1)
That means homebuyers need to be on their toes, have their personal credit affairs in order and line up their mortgage approvals several months ahead of time not only because of the advantage sellers have but also because of new lending laws.
Agents at Waterfront Properties and Club Communities can help homesellers as they hop into the proverbial driver's seat and put their South Florida homes for sale on the market. Everyone realizes the time is right to sell.
Jed Kolko, Trulia's chief economist, said the relatively low inventory of homes will translate into pent-up demand for housing as the year unfolds. That only can help sellers. Here are some other expectations from real-estate analysts for 2013:
1) Mortgage-interest rates will remain at near-record lows for the foreseeable future. The National Association of Realtors' chief economist, Lawrence Yun, said the rate might close in on 4 percent, but that it still will be down from the rates of years past.
2) Home-price indexes started rising in 2012, and by all accounts, will continue to trend up. That will motivate homeowners who have been sidelined by depressed prices and homebuyers who don't want to risk being outpaced financially by improving values. The status of the market has the Mortgage Bankers Association predicting a 55-percent increase in home-loan applications from now through December.
3) CoreLogic reported there will be a 6-percent home-price increase this year, compared with 2012, and that will perpetuate confidence in builders, which will fuel new housing starts.
Agents at Waterfront Properties and Club Communities are seeing some of the experts' predictions play out in the local landscape, which includes Jupiter homes for sale, as well as waterfront property in Palm Beach Gardens and Hobe Sound, a coastal community in southern Martin County.

LIVERMORE -- Jim Bottorff settles into a chair in his living room and a pack of his fellow four-string banjo aficionados pile in with him.
Some, like John Green, travel from as far away as Fiddletown, a 200-mile round trip to Livermore. Jim and Mary Raddatz make the trek from Sunnyvale and Ed Rossman takes the weekly trip from El Sobrante to rehearse with the Wineland Banjo Band.
One by one, each banjo player follows Bottorff's foot-tapping lead until all eight banjos and two washboards are deep into "Coney Island Washboard."
"It's a freaking disease," said Green, 84, the eldest member of band, who has come each week since Bottorff founded the group in 2007. "It is an addiction. There is nothing like it. It's that twang."
For the past seven decades, Bottorff and a shrinking group of fellow four-string banjo players have been keeping alive an era of music with a sound that falls somewhere between twangy and percussive and that has long been forgotten by the mainstream.
"The beauty of it is you can play it soft or loud and you don't need electricity," said Bottorff, who started playing the banjo in the late 1950s and was one of a stable of banjo players in the 1970s at Cal's Steak House in San Rafael. "You don't need any power to get music out of it."
The four-string banjo was once rampant in the Bay Area during the 1960s and 1970s with more than 60 banjo groups and places in every corner of the region to enjoy the
While the five-string banjo has seen its popularity grow over the years thanks to the likes of Steve Martin, the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and the popular three-day Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park, the four-string is struggling to keep its audience and players.
Today there are fewer than a dozen four-string groups and even fewer venues in the Bay Area, Bottorff said.
"The style that Jim and his people play is a nostalgic style that they have endeavored to keep alive," said Johnny Baier, the executive director of the American Banjo Museum in Oklahoma City.
"In the 1920s, the plectrum banjo (four-string) was like the electric guitar is today and Eddie Peabody was like Bruce Springsteen, and that is not an exaggeration. That is how (the plectrum banjo) was tied to the mainstream pop and since then it has never regained that popularity."
It came close in the 1960s and 1970s, especially in the Bay Area when post-World War II veterans flocked to the region and hoped to reclaim the carefree spirit of the music from the 1920s and 1930s, Baier said.
The 1920s was when ragtime music found its way into jazz bands and the five-string banjo players needed a way for it to stand out. They began playing their banjos like guitars, plucking them with a plectrum pick and that fifth string got in the way.
As four-string banjos started to come on the market it gave mandolin players a new instrument to be heard during the dance craze.
"When you see (four-string banjo) groups out there they are preservationists in nature and are favoring a style of music and banjo that had its heyday," said Baier, of the banjo museum.
The craft of the music is not lost on today's audience.
At a recent Wineland Banjo Band show, a fan left the group the following note on a napkin at Harry's Hofbrau in Livermore.
"Thank you so much!" the anonymous note read. "You are like the monks who preserved Western Culture through the Dark Ages."
Charlie Tagawa, a longtime member of the Peninsula Banjo Band and a 2003 inductee of the National Four String Hall of Fame, has been preserving the four-string banjo for the past seven decades as both a teacher and critically acclaimed player.
Tagawa still plays once a week with the Peninsula band at Harry's Hofbrau in San Jose, and when he's not playing he's teaching students, most in their golden years.
"Teaching the banjo is interesting and almost nobody is under 40 years old," Tagawa said. "Most of my students are over 50 years old and they decided to play after they retired."
The Wineland Banjo Band knows the challenges of an aging pool of fans. The group was founded with 16 members and since then two have died. Bottorff points out that when he started playing the banjo in 1958 he was the youngest in his group and now at 70 he is still one of the youngest.
"The biggest problem we have now is all the musicians expiring on us," said Paul Knechtli, one of Wineland's two washboard players. "We are in need of some warm bodies."

Van Buren Co Earthquakes Have Geologists Looking for Answers
By: Josh Berry
Updated: March 20, 2013
They reported over 3 dozen earthquakes around Greers Ferry Lake since the beginning of the year and 30 quakes in all of 2012.
Scientists attribute the increase in seismic activity to three potential causes: more seismic stations creating the ability to detect; lake levels of Greers Ferry putting stress on nearby faults; nearby injection wells.
"What we're wanting to take a look at is it's a little bit higher than what we expect for background seismicity," Geo-Hazard Supervisor with the Arkansas Geological Survey, Scott Ausbrooks explained. "So it's warranted us to take a closer look. One of the ways we're gonna take a closer look is putting out some new seismic monitoring."
On Wednesday (3/20), the team will bury seismic monitors in different spots around the area to have a more focused concentration on the specific area in hopes they can pinpoint the spots and possibly narrow the causes.

so to follow the rules i have to play nice with the other kids, and share my toys!
i think i can do that!
*waves* hello all! :)
sadly............i think 2girls1cup deserves its own thread................
even worse................i now have complete mastery of my gag reflex. this video is a great way to practice how not to puke even though you really want to. if you dont............you are fucked up. i cant possibly imagine what that room smelled like...........oh wait, i can.............i just dont want to.
if there is a dark side to humanity, that video would be an example of that darksides lungs. nothing short of murder videos sickens me that bad! and yet, no beheading video i have seen made me want to throw up, nor did any ever ruin my dinner..............for 2 days.
my overall take..........show it to all your friends at work.
You get one thanks, and now I am BANNING myself from this thread. Good riddance.
I asked hubby if he'd heard of 2girls1cup, and no, he hadn't. I googled that puppy up and told him that I had to walk away, but if he wanted to watch it, just click the top link. I then went outside to smoke a cigarette. Not 20 seconds later, I heard gagging and coughing from inside the house and he appeared not 5 seconds after that. He said that he couldn't click the little X fast enough.
He did say to keep the link for future use. Sometimes, if he's hungover or had too much to eat, he knows that he'll feel better if he pukes, but sticking his finger down his throat does no good (Same with my older son too. I spent a whole morning with my fingers on his tonsils trying to get him to barf up a double dose of the day's medicine to no avail. He gagged a bunch, but no barf.).
My point is: if it makes my husband gag, then it has to be some foul shit! :beurk:
Too funny! I just tried to tell my husband about it. I couldn't even describe it without gagging. I did not even make it through the description. I could not even form the words without retching.
In the end, he refused to watch it.
I have to say though, the choice of background music is HILARIOUS.
I will say that I do love watching the reaction videos that have been posted over at YouTube.
Even though I haven't seen the video, I have heard the background music and I have to agree with Kathy that it's hilarious.
OMG. No way I'm watching that. The reaction videos were enough to scare me away. Shit. I hope my son hasn't heard of this. Ewwwww.
I am happy to see this forum getting some more activity, but I want to remind everyone about this forum's particular rules. So please read them and refresh your memory.
Uh oh... We's in trouble.
I promise to restrain myself when idiots piss me off. Last thing I want is to be banned because some shit-for-brains can't string more than 27 words and a smiley together.

No one is in trouble. Three Things is one of the stranger forums on the site and has seen its share of ups and downs. With the absence of some members who used it regularly, it has been "down". But now that new members are finally taking advantage of it, I feel it is a good time to point out that Three Things, like a couple other forums, has its own rules that are a bit different from the others.
For some reason I get a sort of Tamriel-ic vibe from Dawntide.

"Mods" are not jumping people on behalf of Echo. THIS mod is asking posters to remain on topic and not post paragraphs of complaints against one poster with one possibly relevant phrase. If anyone would like me to go back through the thread and publicly note every single post that fails to add to the discussion, well, good luck. I don't have time to carefully read every post on here and Morbid doesn't pay me a goddamned dime. If there's a post you have a problem with, please report it.

You know I appreciate you pointing it out. Or it you don't know: well, I do.
I deleted most of hc's most recent post because it did not relate to the topic but to a particular poster. I would not be surprised to find that there are posts in that thread that could benefit from similar treatment. In other words: I was not targeting hc. As it turns out, I had time tonight to try to do a little catch up in the forums, and I exercised my mod rights on a particular post to reiterate expectations regarding what is and is not allowable as Three Things posts. Had I wanted to target one or more particular members (which I did NOT), I would've issued warnings or infractions.
Folks, these forums are the shit because they're so damned active, and that's all thanks to YOU. D'D was never meant to be a tightly moderated site, so if there's something you see that you think is unfair or against D'D standards, report it, okay?

I have a complaint, Lizard. You haven't peed on me nearly enough, I feel unappreciated...do you think I should report it? :-D
Dakota Valkyrie : You don't have FBI in Canada. It would probably be the Royal Mounted Child Porn Cadets or some other gang dressed up with cool hats that came in shooting up your pussy
