This blog describes my experience with using AOP, namely AspectJ, to measure the individual execution times and their average of a particular low-level method invoked many times during a JUnit test run from within Eclipse. It concentrates on creating the aspect and integrating (weaving) it into the JUnit test execution in the Eclipse environment.
Of course it would be easier to use e.g. profiler but I wanted to play with AOP/AspectJ to learn it better because it's an incredibly useful tool for a number of problems and you can use it even if you don't have access to the application's source code and/or cannot control the runtime environment (such as running it in a profiler).
Why AspectJ?
There are also other AOP tools for Java but it seems that AspectJ is the most wide-spread one, especially since its merge with AspectWerkz. I used to dislike it because it required a special extended Java syntax and compiler but this isn't true anymnore (more on that later).
I'm only learning AspectJ, so the solution may be not and likely isn't the best one. I appreciate improvement suggestions.
Preparing the environment
I use Pulse to set up my Eclipse environment. For this I'll use:
- Eclipse 3.4 for Java EE (Pulse doesn't yet support 3.5)
- AspectJ 1.6.5
- JUnit 4
- JDK 126.96.36.199 (the test fails with 1.6 due to xml libs incompatibility) and Java 5.0 syntax
Implementing the timing aspect
My goal is to create an aspect invoked around the method in question that will measure the time it takes for the method to execute, log it, and compute and log the average execution time.
Since AspectJ 5 we have two options – either using the older custom AspectJ syntax with AspectJ compiler or using annotations. I'll explore both possibilities.
Project structure
First, we have a Java project with the junit test that we want to run with the timing aspect. It depends on another project with the actual class and method whose performance we want to measure.
- /src/main/java/com/tonbeller/jpivot/xmla/XMLA_SOAP.java
- /src/main/java/
- eu/ibacz/studna/jpivot/OLAPModelStructure.java
– calls (indirectly) XMLA_SOAP.discoverMem during its execution
- eu/ibacz/studna/jpivot/OLAPModelStructure.java
- /src/test/java/
- eu/ibacz/studna/jpivot/OLAPModelStructurePerformanceTest.java
– standard JUnit4 test case
- eu/ibacz/studna/jpivot/OLAPModelStructurePerformanceTest.java
We create another project to hold our new shiny aspect: File > New > Other… > AspectJ > AspectJ Project =>
- /src/
- eu/ibacz/pbns/util/aspect/TimingAspect.aj (solution 1)
- eu/ibacz/pbns/util/aspect/TimingAnnotatedAspect.java (solution 2)
Solution 1: using custom ApectJ syntax
Before AspectJ 5 this was the only option and it is still more powerful and has better support of AJDT (according to the FAQ). Basically you write the aspect in an extended Java syntax in an .aj file and compile it with a special AspectJ compiler – though this is done behind the scene for you thanks to having created an AspectJ project, which also provides you with a special AspectJ/Java editor for .aj and .java aspect files.
Enough talking, let's see the aspect:
File eu/ibacz/pbns/util/aspect/TimingAspect.aj:
package eu.ibacz.pbns.util.aspect; import ... public aspect TimingAspect { // instance/class field ... public TimingAspect() { formatter = NumberFormat.getIntegerInstance(); formatter.setMinimumIntegerDigits(3); System.out.println(getClass() + " instantiated!"); } // before(): execution(public * com.tonbeller.jpivot..XMLA_SOAP.*(..) ) { // System.err.println("About to call " + thisJoinPoint.getSignature().toShortString() + ", args:" + Arrays.toString(thisJoinPoint.getArgs()) ); // } Object around() : execution( * com.tonbeller.jpivot..XMLA_SOAP.discoverMem(..) ) { final long startTimeCpuMs = getCurrentTimeMs(); final long startTimeMs = System.currentTimeMillis(); Object result = proceed(); final long endTimeMs = System.currentTimeMillis(); final long endTimeCpuMs = getCurrentTimeMs(); final long execTimeMs = endTimeMs - startTimeMs; final long execTimeCpuMs = endTimeCpuMs - startTimeCpuMs; ++totalExecutionCount; totalExecutionTimeMs += execTimeMs; totalCpuExecutionTimeMs += execTimeCpuMs; final String msg = "executing discoverMem #" + formatter.format(totalExecutionCount) + " took " + execTimeCpuMs + "ms of CPU, " + execTimeMs + "ms real; current average is [ms/call]: " + totalCpuExecutionTimeMs / totalExecutionCount + " for CPU, " + totalExecutionTimeMs / totalExecutionCount + " real time."; System.out.println(getClass().getName() + ": " + msg); return result; } }
(I've ommited the fields and some methods for brevity.)
PS: You can use the commented-out before adivce to print all methods called on XMLA_SOAP including their name and arguments. This is useful to find out whether the method you're trying to measure is actually called at all.
Solution 2: using annotation (@AspectJ)
Since AspectJ 5 we can use a normal Java class with special annotations to define an aspect. It's less powerful (see above) but more familiar to a Java developer and more comfortable to use since it doesn't need any special compiler (the annotations are processed by AspectJ during weaving).
File eu/ibacz/pbns/util/aspect/TimingAnnotatedAspect.java:
package eu.ibacz.pbns.util.aspect; import ... public class TimingAnnotatedAspect { // instance/class field ... public TimingAspect() { formatter = NumberFormat.getIntegerInstance(); formatter.setMinimumIntegerDigits(3); System.out.println(getClass() + " instantiated!"); } @Around("execution( * com.tonbeller.jpivot..XMLA_SOAP.discoverMem(..) )") public Object around(ProceedingJointPoint pjp) { final long startTimeCpuMs = getCurrentTimeMs(); final long startTimeMs = System.currentTimeMillis(); Object result = pjp.proceed(); final long endTimeMs = System.currentTimeMillis(); final long endTimeCpuMs = getCurrentTimeMs(); final long execTimeMs = endTimeMs - startTimeMs; final long execTimeCpuMs = endTimeCpuMs - startTimeCpuMs; ++totalExecutionCount; totalExecutionTimeMs += execTimeMs; totalCpuExecutionTimeMs += execTimeCpuMs; final String msg = "executing discoverMem #" + formatter.format(totalExecutionCount) + " took " + execTimeCpuMs + "ms of CPU, " + execTimeMs + "ms real; current average is [ms/call]: " + totalCpuExecutionTimeMs / totalExecutionCount + " for CPU, " + totalExecutionTimeMs / totalExecutionCount + " real time."; System.out.println(getClass().getName() + ": " + msg); return result; } }
As you can see, we've replaced the special AspectJ syntactical elements with annotationes @Aspect and @Around (there is also @Pointcut and others).
(I've ommited the fields and some methods for brevity.)
Conclusion: Annotations vs. custom syntax
When deciding
whether to use the the old custom AspectJ syntax and .aj files with an
AspectJ compiler or the new annotation-based aspects in standard .java
files you have to take into account that the annotation-based aspects
are less powerful (regarding what all can be weaved) and have weaker
support of the AJDT tooling so that your aspects may not display in its
views etc.
Common project info
For both projects we need to have the class to modify with the aspect, in our case XMLA_SOAP, on the classpath, to get some special support from AJDT (see below).
The good thing when using AJDT is that if a pointcut definition (such as the execution(…) above) doesn't match an existing class/method, you will be warned about it – in Eclipse there will be the standard warning marker with text like "no match for this type name: XMLA_SOAP [Xlint:invalidAbsoluteTypeName]". This works both for .aj and .java files though it may not discover all issues.
The common code, if you're interested:
private ThreadMXBean threadMxb; /** * Return the current time in miliseconds, if possible, return only the current thread's CPU time, if not, * return system time. * <p> * thread's CPU time is usually few times less than the absolute time between * its start and end due to the fact that it has to share the CPU with other processes/threads. */ private long getCurrentTimeMs() { return getThreadMxBean().isCurrentThreadCpuTimeSupported()? threadMxb.getCurrentThreadCpuTime() / 1000000 : System.currentTimeMillis(); } /** Lazy-init getter. */ private ThreadMXBean getThreadMxBean() { if (threadMxb == null) { threadMxb = ManagementFactory.getThreadMXBean(); if (threadMxb.isThreadCpuTimeSupported()) { LOG.info("Thread user/cpu time monitoring supported."); if (threadMxb.isThreadCpuTimeSupported() && threadMxb.isThreadCpuTimeEnabled()) { LOG.info("Thread user/cpu time monitoring supported&enabled."); // TODO do only once } else { LOG.warn("Thread user/cpu time monitoring supported but disabled."); } } else { LOG.warn("Thread user/cpu time monitoring NOT supported."); } // supported thr. time } return threadMxb; } /* getThreadMxBean */
Integrating the aspect into the JUnit test
Our tracing aspect is ready and we want to apply it to XMLA_SOAP.discoverMem when running our JUnit test OLAPModelStructurePerformanceTest. Unfortunately AJDT doesn't provide any support for running JUnit tests with AspectJ support though it does that for normal java programs via the additional Run As… > AspectJ/Java Application menu item therefore we will need to do it manually. Maybe there is a better way but this is what I did:
- Get aspectjweaver.jar – it includes complete AspectJ runtime plus Java 5 agent lib.
- Modify the Run configuration of the JUnit test (Run > Run Configurations) as follows:
- On the tab Arguments, add the VM argument
- On the tab Classpath, click on User Entries and add there the project MyAspectProject so that it can see the aspect.
- On the tab Arguments, add the VM argument
- In the project MyTestProject create under /src/test/java/ (or any other source folder) META-INF/aop.xml with the content shown below.
File aop.xml :
<aspectj> <aspects> <!-- aspect name="eu.ibacz.pbns.util.aspect.TimingAspect"/--> <!-- fails if not found --> <aspect name="eu.ibacz.pbns.util.aspect.TimingAnnotatedAspect"/> </aspects> </aspectj>
This file tells AspectJ's Load-Time Weaver what aspects to introduce into the existing classes. Without it no instrumentation would occur. You can configure here which of the 2 aspects to use. You can also "specify
the set of types that should be woven. If no include elements are specified
then all types visible to the weaver will be woven". See the documentation on aop.xml and Load-Time Weaving configuration for more info.
Troubleshooting load-time weaving
If you need to learn more about what AspectJ does during the weaving and whether it does modify the target class or not (e.g. due to wrong pointcut match pattern or classpath order) you may enable some logging using either some properties on the command-line or by specifying this in the aop.xml:
<aspectj> <aspects> <!-- aspect name="eu.ibacz.pbns.util.aspect.TimingAspect"/--> <!-- fails if not found --> <aspect name="eu.ibacz.pbns.util.aspect.TimingAnnotatedAspect"/> </aspects> <weaver options="-verbose -showWeaveInfo "> <!-- add -debug to print every class [not] woven --> <include within="com.tonbeller.jpivot.xmla..*"/> <!-- Notice the 2 dots to include also subpackages --> <include within="eu.ibacz..*"/> </weaver> </aspectj>
If the weaving proceeds as expected, this should produce an output similar to the one below:
[AppClassLoader@1858610] info AspectJ Weaver Version DEVELOPMENT built on Friday Aug 29, 2008 at 00:25:33 GMT [AppClassLoader@1858610] info register classloader sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@1858610 [AppClassLoader@1858610] info using configuration /home/jholy/devel/MyTestProject/target/classes/META-INF/aop.xml [AppClassLoader@1858610] info register aspect eu.ibacz.pbns.util.aspect.TimingAspect [AppClassLoader@1858610] info processing reweavable type com.tonbeller.jpivot.xmla.XMLA_Model: com/tonbeller/jpivot/xmla/XMLA_Model.java [AppClassLoader@1858610] info successfully verified type eu.ibacz.pbns.util.aspect.TimingAspect exists. Originates from eu/ibacz/pbns/util/aspect//home/jholy/devel/MyAspectProject/src/eu/ibacz/pbns/util/aspect/TimingAspect.aj [AppClassLoader@1858610] weaveinfo Join point 'method-execution(void com.tonbeller.jpivot.xmla.XMLA_Model.retrieveMemberChildren(com.tonbeller.jpivot.xmla.XMLA_Member))' in Type 'com.tonbeller.jpivot.xmla.XMLA_Model' (XMLA_Model.java:1094) advised by around advice from 'eu.ibacz.pbns.util.aspect.TimingAspect' (TimingAspect.aj:56)
The line 'info register aspect eu.ibacz.pbns.util.aspect.TimingAspect' tells us that AspectJ has found the aspect referenced from aop.xml. If the aspect class didn't exist then it would print an error message. The information about registered aspects, configuration aop.xml and AspectJ version is displayed thanks to the option -verbose.
The line 'weaveinfo Join point …' tells us that AspectJ has actually found and modified the target and is enabled with the -showWeaveInfo flag.
If you enabled -debug in aop.xml, AspectJ would print the list of classes that it has processed (whether there was an aspect to apply or not) – this can help you to verify that it doesn't ignore your target class.
Note: all weaver messages are prefixed with the classloader the weaver instance is attached to, e.g. in a web server you'd have multiple instances.
It works! 🙂
Limitations of aop.xml
AspectJ is extremely powerful, especially because it isn't limited to "advicing" or intercepting method calls but can also intercept field access, add fields, inject interface implementation into classes and much more.
What I find quite limiting is that in aop.xml you cannot specify very much what should or should not be woven, only the classes to include in/exclude from the process. If you want to limit to what methods etc. your apect applies, you have to change that in its source code and recompile it 🙂

The Certificate in Documentary Media Studies is awarded for successful completion of six courses
(five required and one elective; a total of 18 credits) in documentary
history and theory and video production and post-production. During one
year in residence, students produce, direct, and edit an original short
documentary video based on a subject in or near New York City.
Classes and other program-related
activities occupy a minimum of three weekdays each week. In addition,
students must devote significant time outside of class to their
documentary project, as well as to assigned readings and papers. In the
fall semester, production shooting typically includes weekend days as
well. (We recommend that students with jobs not work more than 10 hours
weekly.) Students typically work in crews of three and contribute to
their crew-mates' documentary projects as directors of photography,
sound recordists, or production assistants. Students have access to
state-of-the-art HD cameras, lighting kits, sound kits, and editing
stations. All necessary technical skills are taught as part of the core
production. The production period concludes in December, and
post-production is the focus of the spring semester.
All students are required to attend
bi-weekly Doc Talk events, which feature filmmakers, editors, sound
designers, indie lawyers, festival programmers, distributors,
researchers, and archivists, among others.

KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — An American journalist who was arrested while filming an opposition rally faces deportation for working in Uganda without proper documentation, a government official said Friday, but the journalist himself insisted he was targeted by police who worried he would expose their brutality against protesters.
The arrest comes as the Ugandan police are cracking down on opposition protests in Kampala, the capital.
The journalist, an independent documentary filmmaker named Taylor Krauss, is due for "an organized departure" from the East African country, said Benjamin Kagiremire, a spokesman for Uganda's Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"The decision has already been taken and we are processing his ticket," he said.
Krauss, who has been in police custody since Tuesday afternoon, said he was arrested while filming a violent confrontation between supporters of a protest leader and police who fired tear gas. He said he had been subjected to "intensive interrogation" by officials who searched his hotel room and seized his passport and equipment.
"I believe it was because I filmed an event that was politically sensitive," he said.
Ugandan police have mounted a crackdown on protest rallies in Kampala, even restricting the movements of the mayor, an opposition politician who is a fierce critic of President Yoweri Museveni.
Kampala Mayor Erias Lukwago is one of the leaders of an activist group that is trying to spark a wider political movement against Museveni, who has held power in this East African country for 27 years. On Monday – the day protest leaders planned to launch another round of street demonstrations – Lukwago's house was surrounded by police, effectively putting him under house arrest.
The police restrictions of Lukwago's movements mean that he cannot see much of Kampala beyond his residence.
"This is a national tragedy," the mayor said. "There is public despondency on matters of the law in Uganda."
Museveni, who took power by force in 1986, is accused of wanting to rule for life and of encouraging corruption that benefits his cronies in business and politics while most Ugandans remain poor. This year, after Western donors cut direct budgetary support over their concerns about corruption, the Museveni government announced new taxes that critics say will be felt more by the poorest Ugandans. Kerosene, a combustible liquid that many here use to light lamps, will be taxed, as will water consumed by households.
The new taxes are one of the reasons cited by activists who charge the government has lost touch with ordinary Ugandans. But their attempts to connect with supporters through rallies have been thwarted by police, often leading to violent encounters as police fire live bullets and tear gas to disperse crowds who sometimes fight back by throwing rocks.
The activist group responsible for the protests -4GC, which stands for the national motto "For God and My Country" – was declared an illegal organization by the country's attorney general, one of the reasons given by police as they crack down on its activities. To restrict the movements of anti-government activists, police have begun launching pre-dawn raids on their homes and putting them under "preventive arrest." The tactics have effectively made Kampala a no-go zone for opposition activism.
Frederick Ssempebwa, a law professor at Uganda's Makerere University, said Uganda could no longer be described as a functioning democracy despite the regularity of elections.
"It's just an autocracy," he said. "It's really a dictatorship."
Ssempebwa, who helped draft Uganda's constitution, said the pre-emptive arrests of opposition activists was illegal "executive action."
Police insist their tactics are simply to maintain public order in the city.
"He is supposed to inform us so that we provide security," said Patrick Onyango, a police spokesman, referring to the Kampala mayor. "He will hold rallies again when we have reviewed and have known that they will mobilize people for development, for a noble cause."
Uganda's next election is still three years away, and it remains unclear if Museveni will run again. He faces growing opposition even within the ruling party as more officials previously close to him mount challenges that once were unthinkable.
A former deputy president has announced plans to seek the presidency in 2016 and a four-star general who sat on the military's high command recently defected to London and accused Museveni of wanting to keep power within his family at all costs.

X5L Fell...oh hell
Yeah so I dropped my recently acquired second hand X5L and I'm just sick about it. Best player I ever had. Sounds better than my D2 to me.
Anyway the screen just flashed white when turned on. I opened her up and a red wire had become detached I noticed but soldering it back made no difference. I played with it for a while and found that if I plugged in the power charger through the sub pack AND attached the unit to my PC using the usb cable then the unit would turn on okay !
I should have left it at that but tinkered with it more. For some odd reason I decided to format the drive. Since then I haven't been able to turn the unit on even using the method as described above. I couldn't be sure that formatting the drive caused this as I did tinker around the insides of it at some point and could possibly have damaged the main board.
I really don't know what to do with it now I really wan't to repair it but I dont' know what's wrong with it. It's odd the way the screen just goes white when I turn it on and starts to flash white when I plug in the charger as if were a programmed code to tell one something. Btw the hard drive is not recognises by the PC now but I suspect it's not the HD that's at fault.
So, anyone have any suggestion what I can do. Chuck it? Sell the HD on ebay? Anyone got a faulty one to sell and and I could join the 2 together ? All suggestions welcome

Sprint wanted to get in on the Galaxy Nexus hype early with an announcement at CES 2012 in January. At the time, the carrier hadn't even made plans for its LTE network public, and all it said about the device was that is was coming later in the year. Here we are months later, and Sprint has finally made known its plans to sell the Galaxy Nexus next week.
Sprint will be selling the Galaxy Nexus on Sunday, April 22, but pre-orders are open now. The Verizon Nexus costs $300 on a 2-year contract, but Sprint has chopped the price down to just $200. Physically, this device should be identical to the Verizon version, which is also LTE.
Perhaps that charitable price drop is a tacit admission by Sprint that its LTE network will still be coming online when the phone is released. The overwhelming majority of buyers will be stuck on 3G until later in the year. The Galaxy Nexus won't have access to Sprint's deprecated WiMAX 4 network due to hardware limitations, either.
To sweeten the deal even further, Sprint has teamed up with Google to get an even better deal for users of Google Wallet. The contactless NFC payment service already offers $10 of free Wallet money on a pre-paid card to new users, but Galaxy Nexus users will get an extra $40. The only catch is that the promotion runs through May 22, and you have to activate Google Wallet within 7 days of buying the phone. However, other carriers are backing a competing standard called Isis. You might want to spend that free money quickly.
The Galaxy Nexus on Verizon received mostly positive reviews. The Sprint version will have identical hardware including a Ti OMAP 4460 dual-core chip at 1.2GHz, 1GB of RAM, a 720p Super AMOLED screen, NFC, and runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

Fossils found
Michael Edwards, 8, is an aspiring paleontologist and always looking for fossils. When on Memorial weekend he actually found some he was super excited. The fossils are ammonite fossils and they date back to the Jurassic Period (as per a paleontologist at ISU) which date about 240 million years ago! Super find! Submitted by Esmeralda and Brandon Edwards.

Sir David's long-beaked echidna
Sir David's long-beaked echidna (Zaglossus attenboroughi), also known as Attenborough's long-beaked echidna or the Cyclops long-beaked echidna, is one of the three species from the genus Zaglossus that occurs in New Guinea. It is named in honour of Sir David Attenborough, the eminent naturalist. It lives in the Cyclops Mountains, which are near the cities of Sentani and Jayapura in the indonesian province of Papua.
It is the smallest member of the genus, being closer in size to the short-beaked echidna than are the other members of the genus. The male is larger than the female, and can be differentiated by the spurs on its hind legs. The echidna is not a social animal, and comes together with its own kind only once a year, in July, to mate. The female will lay the eggs after about eight days, and the babies will stay in the mother's pouch for around eight weeks or until their spines develop.
The creature is nocturnal, and can roll up into a spiny ball when it feels threatened, somewhat in the manner of a hedgehog. It weighs from 5 to 10 kilograms (11 to 22 lb).[3]
The echidna is endangered by hunting and habitat loss. In fact, in the 1900s, it was thought to be extinct until some of their "nose pokes" were found in the mountains of New Guinea. These "nose pokes" are very distinct and represent the echidna's feeding techniques.[4] The diet of this hardy-built animal consists of earthworms, termites, insect larvae and ants.
The species was described from a single damaged specimen collected in the Dutch colonial era (c. 1961), and has apparently not been collected since then.[5] Given the ongoing anthropogenic disturbance of the Cyclops Mountain forest habitat, this has raised concern that Z. attenboroughi populations may already be endangered or even locally extirpated. However, biological surveys of Papua province are notoriously incomplete; it is possible that the animal still exists there or in related mountain ranges.
This animal is so high in the endangered-species list that locals are being educated on this creature and asked to stop their tradition of hunting and killing it and sharing it with rivals as a peace offering.[6]
As reported on July 15, 2007, researchers from EDGE visiting Papua's Cyclops Mountains had recently discovered burrows and tracks thought to be those of Zaglossus attenboroughi. Furthermore, communication with local people revealed that the species had perhaps been seen as recently as 2005.[7]
In 2007, Sir David's long-beaked echidna was identified as one of the top-10 "focal species" by the Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered (EDGE) project.[8]

Koelmel named president of Sabres HarborCenter
Less than three months after losing his high-profile job as CEO of First Niagara Financial Group, John R. Koelmel has re-emerged in a new leadership role where he could wield his influence in shaping Buffalo's redevelopment.
Koelmel was named Thursday as the new president of the Sabres' HarborCenter project in downtown Buffalo. The longtime banking executive will oversee the operations of the hockey and entertainment complex being developed by Buffalo Sabres owners Terry and Kim Pegula on the Webster Block in front of First Niagara Center.
The $170 million project will include a full-service branded hotel with 200 rooms, an upscale two-story hockey-themed restaurant, two full-size ice rinks, street-level retail space and a five-level parking ramp.
With its direct link to the Sabres arena across Perry Street, it will become the only three-rink complex in the National Hockey League. And it's seen as a core part of the Canalside redevelopment that is transforming downtown Buffalo with four major construction projects at the same time.
"HarborCenter is a world-class game-changer and incredible development for this community. We're beginning to see a one-of-a-kind facility that will position Buffalo as a real destination for both hockey and entertainment," Koelmel said during a news conference Thursday to announce his hiring. "To be asked to play a lead role in fulfilling that vision, helping to make it a reality, is a tremendous honor, and I'm appropriately humbled and grateful."
Koelmel will oversee day-to-day operations of the entire facility, including the hotel, restaurant, ice rinks and parking ramp. Officials hope to have Canisius College, a Division I hockey team, playing at the facility, and to host weekend tournaments and activities that will draw hundreds of thousands of people to the site each year.
"That's a big business that has to be run, and fundamentally that's what John's job is going to be," said Cliff Benson, the Sabres' chief development officer and the Pegulas' point man for their work in the community.
But the new role is much more than a glorified building manager, going beyond "core fundamental operating responsibilities" to deal with broader redevelopment, Koelmel said.
"Weighing in on what happens, how it happens, how it gets done, will be an important part of the role," he said. "This is the linchpin for what's happening in this particular portion of the city. It's very important to Terry and Kim that what gets done here gets done very well, gets done in a first-class way."
The surprise announcement marked a return to the spotlight for Koelmel after his abrupt departure from the helm of First Niagara in March amid clashes with the board of directors and investor frustration with the bank's languishing stock performance. Both he and the bank have termed it a "mutual decision," and he walked away with a $5 million severance package.
The Sabres were quick to tout the hiring of Koelmel as a big win, not just for them but for Western New York. A financial services veteran for over 30 years, Koelmel brings a mixture of business and leadership skills, together with community and political connections, to his new post, along with his stated commitment to the region.
"My heart's with this city, with this geography. I'm in it to win it, for Buffalo and Western New York," he said. The former banker readily admitted that the "core business" of running HarborCenter is vastly different than a bank. But he said the basics of business leadership are "readily transferrable."
Additionally, he is chairman of both the New York Power Authority and Kaleida Health, and serves on the Regional Economic Development Council.
"There's no doubt that John would have had opportunities to go many places with his background," Benson said. "The fact that we can keep somebody here of John's caliber, of his reputation in the community, and the opportunity for us to work with him, is very, very exciting. … It's like getting the No. 1 draft pick."
An Orchard Park native who graduated from College of the Holy Cross, Koelmel spent 26 years at international audit, tax and consulting firm KPMG LLP in Buffalo, rising to managing partner of upstate New York operations. He retired in 2000 and joined Financial Institutions in Warsaw as chief administrative officer but left after two years. He joined First Niagara as chief financial officer in 2004 and was named CEO in 2006 after the board ousted Paul Kolkmeyer.
Over seven years, he built the onetime Lockport Savings Bank into a super-regional behemoth with over $36 billion in assets and 430 branches in four states. During his tenure at the bank – now the second-largest in Buffalo and among the top 25 U.S.-based banks – he also oversaw its rise as a corporate citizen.
"Just making sure everything happens with this big hole in the ground is a full-time job," Benson said, gesturing with this thumb to the windows overlooking the construction. "When those tower cranes go up, you'll know that we really mean business, because they're going to take up the whole skyline."
The HarborCenter's ice rinks, restaurant and retail stores are scheduled to open in September 2014, with the hotel set to open in the spring of 2015.

LinkedIn's new Endorsements feature lets people easily recommend each other, but it will be the quality--not the quantity--of kudos that count.
OK, maybe I got a little dramatic there, but what I was responding to was, one, another surprise update from a social network and, two, what seemed like on its surface another social obligation--in more ways than one. I also worried that LinkedIn was becoming Klout-like, with a single (albeit aggregated) metric determining worth and value. (This is a premise being tested by a University of North Carolina professor who is basing 20% of his Social Media for Reporters students' grades on the number of points their Klout scores rise over the semester.)
So, what is the new LinkedIn Endorsements feature?
In a Sept. 24 blog post, LinkedIn's David Breger explained it this way: "On LinkedIn, you have many smart, talented, and skilled professional connections. Starting today, we are introducing Endorsements, a new feature that makes it easier to recognize them for their skills and expertise. With just one click, you can now endorse your connections for a skill they've listed on their profile or recommend one they haven't added yet. Think your connection is great at programming AND project management? Let them know!"
To endorse a connection, you can click on recommended skills in their profile. Connections can also be endorsed from the new Skills & Expertise section at the bottom of profiles. When you have been endorsed, you receive notification in email and on LinkedIn, and these endorsements will show up in your own Skills & Expertise section.
LinkedIn has launched Endorsements in English across the United States, India, New Zealand, and Australia, and plans to add languages during the next few weeks, according to Breger's post.
What's in it for you?
LinkedIn Endorsements will provide an easy-to-read skills dashboard of sorts--a very streamlined version of your resume. This could be useful for people looking to connect with someone on a particular topic--one of the core functions of social networking for businesses--or for LinkedIn users in the market for a new job or otherwise looking to promote their expertise.
"Having a range of people in your network specify certain skills that they feel you do best provides an interesting data point for recruiters looking at your profile," said Tony Deblauwe, senior HR manager/business partner at Citrix.
LinkedIn Endorsements may also reduce some of the risk associated with bringing a new employee into the company.
"LinkedIn Endorsements might be a useful business tool for customers to review people," said Larry Stybel, president and CEO of career management and leadership development firm Stybel Peabody Lincolnshire, as well as executive in residence at the Sawyer Business School, Suffolk University. "For example, I have a search for a VP and I see two potential candidates rated highly in a skill. But one candidate is rated highly by someone I respect. I will contact that individual for a detailed reference without the candidate's knowledge. In other words, this may be a tool that can reduce risk to 'buyers.'"
So will there be a mad rush as people look to endorse and be endorsed, vying to attain as many endorsements as possible in a particular area? Is this the classic "I have more marbles than you so I win" paradigm?

Recall Details
Toyota is recalling 2005–2010 Avalon; 2007–2010 Camry, 2009–2010 Corolla, Corolla Matrix, and Rav4; 2010 Highlander; 2008–2010 Sequoia; and 2007–2010 Tundra models because the sliding surface of the friction lever may become smooth during operation, which can cause condensation. This may cause the accelerator pedal to become harder to depress, slower to return, or to become stuck in a partially depressed position, which can increase the risk of a crash. Dealers will install a reinforcement bar in the accelerator pedal so it will operate smoothly.

The new Guide for a Tanker Energy Efficiency Management Plan (TEEMP) moves forward in practical terms the IMO process to reduce actual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from shipping by assisting operators to implement a Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan as recommended by IMO Circular MEPC.1/Circ.683.
It is based on INTERTANKO Best Practice, using information and experience from Members with more than 700 tankers. It is a practical tool, covering a comprehensive monitoring, recording and reporting of ship performance, which will be used by tanker operators as they enhance the energy efficiency and the emissions performance of their ships by routinely applying operational measures to improve fuel efficiency.
INTERTANKO saw the need to move quickly to develop the TEEMP out of the IMO's outline Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan (SEEMP), and to move forward on a practical day-to-day basis. It involves inter alia voyage planning; optimising machinery; hull resistance management; cargo handling; and the control of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from the cargo.
The tanker industry, working with the IMO, is well on the way to achieving significant, tangible reductions in GHG emissions from ships using technical and operational means. INTERTANKO believes that the IMO is the appropriate body to regulate GHG emissions from ships and supports the IMO process to develop real and sustainable GHG emission reduction regulations that will not impede international trade.
To download a copy of your e-book go to our website Home Page http://www.intertanko.com and click on the TEEMP banner on the right hand side. Price USD 40 (members) USD 90 (non-members).
To order the hard copy, please go to our Bookshop www.intertanko.com/bookshop. Price USD 50 (members) USD 100 (non-members). For sales queries, please contact email@example.com or Trine Melgaard on +47 22 12 26 40 or Sally Woulfe on +44 207 977 7022 who will be happy to help you.

About Nasik
Nasik, a small town of Maharashtra, attracts a large chunk of both domestic and international tourists. Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) offers bus services to and from Nasik at regular intervals. Nasik is well connected to other cities and towns of Maharashtra such as Dadar, Pune, Mumbai, Kolhapur, Chandrapur, Shirdi, Ahmednagar, and Dharmapur. MSRTC also provides bus services to other states such as Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, and Goa. Regular bus service from Nasik to other states is also available. Cities like Indore, Shirpur, Satara, and Baroda are connected to Nasik through efficient bus services. MSRTC operates three types of bus services – Shivneri, Mahabus, and Asiad. Shivneri is Volvo bus service, Mahabus is AC bus service, and Asiad is semi-luxury bus service. The tickets for these buses can be booked online through www.makemytrip.com. The fact that Nasik has an efficient bus service can be gauged from the fact that apart from the MSRTC buses, private bus operators are also rendering their services. Some important private operators include Gujarat Travels, Indani Travels, Royal Express, Aditya Tours & Travels, Konduskar Travels, Patel Tours & Travels, Neeta Travels, Paulo Travels, and Shakti Travels. Gujarat travels charges about INR540 for a trip from Nasik to Baroda for AC sleeper bus. However, if you travel the same destination by Indani Travels, it will cost you around INR500 for sleeper bus. Owing to the frequent bus services from private operators, cities such as Bharuch, Ahmedabad, Pune, Surat, Anand, and Satara are smoothly connected to Nasik. A Volvo AC would cost about INR800 for a journey from Nasik to Dharampur. A lot of Volvo buses are also available both from and to Nasik. Further, a Volvo AC from Nasik to Mumbai costs about INR288, if you travel by Neeta Travels. All the private operators compete with MSRTC as a result of which travelers get to experience some very good bus service. Considering that Nasik falls under tourist circuit of Maharashtra, it is advisable to book your bus tickets well in advance. The tickets for both government and private buses can be booked by visiting website www.makemytrip.com. The site also offers extensive travel related information for all the places in India.

ESCAPE examines how environmental, physiological, and psychological stress-related factors accumulate to affect cognitive health. Cognitive health, which reflects our capacity to learn, process and use information, is a vital part of healthy aging that is crucial for maintaining a high quality of life.
This ESCAPE project is interested in learning more about individuals who range in age from early adulthood to midlife years. This lifespan study aims to better understand how our everyday and life experiences can influence our health, well-being and the aging process.
ESCAPE is funded from a grant provided by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), a division of the National Institute of Health (NIH). The long-term goal of this grant is to better understand healthy aging as well as the special challenges to maintaining cognitive health that face adults as they transition from mid-life into senior years.
Dr. Martin Sliwinski and Dr. Richard Lipton are co-Principal Investigators of ESCAPE and they lead an interdisciplinary team of neurologists, neuropsychologists, neurochemists, epidemiologists, geneticists,and other health care professionals.
The ESCAPE project aims to better understand the biological and psychological mechanisms that can explain how life experiences influence cognitive health. The ultimate goal of ESCAPE is to identify modifiable risk and resilience factors that occur during the life course that may prevent cognitive impairment and promote cognitive health in later life.
Recruitment targets individuals from diverse backgrounds between the ages of 25 and 65 years of age. Potential participants must reside in Bronx County, New York, be fluent in English, free of visual impairment, and be ambulatory.

Index to First Lines
A blue-black Nubian plucking oranges
A few more windy days
A flying word from here and there
Against the green flame of the hawthorn-tree
A gaunt-built woman and her son-in-law
A gleam of gold in gloom and gray
Ah, Happiness
Ah, never in all my life
Ah stern cold man
A hut, and a tree
A kite, while devouring a skylark
All day the mallet thudded far below
All down the years the fragrance came
All my love for my sweet
All those treasures that lie
Among the mountains I wandered
Among the smoke and fog of a December afternoon
And as we walked the grass was faintly stirred
An image of Lethe
Annie Shore, twas, sang last night
A poet, having taken the bridle off his tongue
A queen lived in the South
Are you alive
Are you awake? Do you hear the rain
Are your rocks shelter for ships
As a naked man I go
As a white candle
As down the street she wambled slow
As I lie roofed in, screened in
As I rode down the arroyo through yuccas belled with bloom
As it
A sky that has never known sun, moon or stars
A storm is riding on the tide
A thin gray shadow on the edge of thought
A thrush is tapping a stone
Babylonwhere I go dreaming
Beautiful, tragical faces
Behold me, in my chiffon, gauze and tinsel
Be in me as the eternal moods
Beneath my window in a city street
Be not angry with me that I bear
Be patient, Life, when Love is at the gate
Better than granite, Spoon River
Between the avenue of cypresses
Blackbird, blackbird in the cage
Blossoms of babies
Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead
Booth led boldly with his big bass drum
Brief on a flying night
Bring me soft song, said Aladdin
Brother, I am fire
By an alley lined with tumble-down shacks
Call me friend or foe
Candles toppling sideways in tomato cans
Child, why do you linger beside her portal
Clear air and grassy lea
Come down at dawn from windless hills
Come let us pity those who are better off than we are
Come, my songs, let us express our baser passions
Come, mysterious night
Come, sprite, and dance! The sun is up
Complacencies of the peignoir, and late
Daughter, thou art come to die
Dead Cleopatra lies in a crystal casket
Dear! of all happy in the hour, most blest
Death, I say, my heart is bowed
Deaths nobility again
Desolate and lone
Did you ever hear of Editor Whedon
Did you ever see an alligator
Do the boys and girls still go to Sievers
Do you remember, O Delphic Apollo
Do you remember the dark pool at Nîmes
Do you think, my boy, when I put my arms around you
Earth travails
Even as the seed of the marigold
Fat black bucks in a wine-barrel room
For God, our God, is a gallant foe
For I was a gaunt, grave councillor
From our hidden places
From song and dream for ever gone
Give me hunger
Gone are the three, those sisters rare
Good-by!no, do not grieve that it is over
Good woman
Gray-robed Wanderer in steep Wanderer
Green afternoon serene and bright, along my street you sail away
Grieve not for the invisible, transported brow
Grow weary if you will, let me be sad
Had he and I but met
Happy boy, happy boy
Have you been with the King to Rome
Have you seen walking through the village
Ha we lost the goodliest fere o all
Hear me, brother
He came and took me by the hand
Hed even have his joke
Here is a sack, a gunny sack
Here lies a most beautiful lady
Her face is fair and smooth and fine
He saw it last of all before they herded in the steerage
Hes gone
He threw his crutched stick down: there came
Ho, brother! Art thou prisoned too
Hog-Butcher for the World
How have I labored
How, how, he said. Friend Chang, I said
How like the stars are these white, nameless faces
How wild, how witch-like weird that life should be
Hush ye! Hush ye! My babe is sleeping
I am Ah-woa-te, the Hunter
I am in love with high far-seeing places
I am singing to you
I am the wind that wavers
I am weary of being bitter and weary of being wise
I ate at Ostendorffs, and saw a dame
I cannot always feel his greatness
I cannot tell their wonder nor make known
I can not tell you now
I despise my friends more than you
I do not fear to die
I do not pray for peace nor ease
If I had known how narrow a prison is love
If I should die, think only this of me
If it
I flung my soul to the air like a falcon flying
I go my way complacently
I had a dream and I awoke with it
I had over-prepared the event
I have cast the world
I have come into the Desert because my soul is athirst
I have had one fear in my life
I have heard that a certain princess
I have heard them in the night
I have known the silence of the stars and of the sea
I have not where to lay my head:
I have seen an old street weeping
I have seen the proudest stars
I heard an old farm-wife
I heard one who said: Verily
I heard the wind all day
I hold your heart
I loathed you, Spoon River
I loved a woman. The stars fell from heaven
I love my hour of wind and light
I love my life, but not too well
I made a vow once, one only
I make my shroud, but no one knows
In an old chamber softly lit
I never knew the earth had so much gold
In halls of sleep you wandered by
In New York Harbor
In the cloud-gray mornings
In the cold I will rise, I will bathe
In the dark and peace of my final bed
In the dawn I gathered cedar-boughs
In the Santa Clara Valley, far away and far away
In your arms was still delight
I reached the highest place in Spoon River
I said, I have shut my heart
I saw God. Do you doubt it
I saw the archangels in my apple-tree last night
I saw the clouds among the hills
I saw the first pear
I saw with open eyes
I saw you hunched and shivering on the stones
I shake my hair in the wind of morning
I shall foot it
I shall see a star tonight
I sometimes wonder if its really true
Is there anybody there? said the Traveller
I think that I shall never see
It is true that you say the gods are more use to you than fairies
Ive won the race
I walk down the garden paths
I was a goddess ere the marble found me
I went out on an April morning
I went to the dances at Chandlerville
I went up and down the streets
John Brown and Jeanne at Fontainebleau
Just as my fingers on these keys
Just now
King Solomon was the wisest man
Lady, your heart has turned to dust
Last night the full moon laid a cloth of white
Leave the lovely words unsaid
Let a joy keep you
Like a gondola of green scented fruits
Like a skein of loose silk blown against a wall
Like a young child who to his mothers door
Like him whose spirit in the blaze of noon
Little brown surf-bather of the mountains
Little my lacking fortunes show
Little park that I pass through
London, my beautiful
Long ago, in the young moonlight
Look at herthere she sits upon her throne
Look at the little darlings in the corn
Look back with longing eyes and know that I will follow
Lookon the topmost branches of the world
Lord Gabriel, wilt thou not rejoice
Loto the battle-ground of life
Love has been sung a thousand ways
Love has gone and left me, and the days are all alike
Love me at last, or if you will not
Love suffereth all things
Mary, the Christ long slain, passed silently
Meditating on the glory of illustrious lineage
Mother, the poplars cross the moon
Music I heard with you was more than music
Musing, between the sunset and the dark
My City, my beloved, my white
My enemy came high
My house stands high
My little one, sleep softly
My long two-pointed ladders sticking through a tree
My moon was lit in an hour of lilies
My mother taught me that every night
My mother twines me roses wet with dew
My son is dead and I am going blind
My sorrow that I am not by the little dun
My Sorrow, when shes here with me
My soul goes clad in gorgeous things
My soul is a dark ploughed field
My thanks, friends of the County Scientific Association
My true love from her pillow rose
Near the great pyramid, unshadowed, white
Never the nightingale
No fawn-tinged hospital pajamas could cheat him of his austerity
Noises that strive to tear
No prey am I of poor thoughts
Now, God be thanked who has matched us with his hour
Now that I have cooled to you
Now while my lips are living
O brother tree! O brother tree! Tell to me, thy brother
O Earth-and-Autumn of the Setting Sun
O glass-blower of time
O great sun of heaven, harm not my love
Oh, beautiful are the flowers of your garden
Oh, seek me not within a tomb
Oh, the agony of having too much power
O Kia-Kunæ, praise
Old Age, the irrigator
O lonely workman, standing there
On and on
On a soaked fence-post a little blue-backed bird
Once the heavens gabled door
One by one, like leaves from a tree
One city only, of all I have lived in
One wept whose only child was dead
O pale! O vivid! dear
Our door was shut to the noon-day heat
Out of me unworthy and unknown
Out of the deep and the dark
Out of the sparkling sea
Out of the window a sea of green trees
Over the green and yellow rice fields
Over the roof-tops race the shadows of clouds
O world, I cannot hold thee close enough
O world that changes under my hand
Passing through huddled and ugly walls
Perhaps it is no matter that you died
Quinquireme of Nineveh from distant Ophir
Red slippers in a shop-window
Renew the vision of delight
Rose and amber was the sunset on the river
Roses and gold
See! I give myself to you, Beloved
See, they return; ah, see the tentative
Serene the silver fishes glide
Seven full-paunched eunuchs came to me
She burst fierce wine
She has a clear, wind-sheltered loveliness
She heard the children playing in the sun
She knows a cheap release
She limps with halting painful pace
She must go back, she said
Since I have felt the sense of death
Sing we for love and idleness
Sing while you may, O bird upon the tree
Sitting in his rocker waiting for your tea
Sleep, gray brother of death
Sleep onI lie at heavens high oriels
Sleep softly eagle forgotten under the stone
Soft as the bed in the earth
Soft from the lindens bough
So-Kin of Rakuho, ancient friend, I now remember
Some one complained to the Master
Something there is that doesnt love a wall
Somewhere I read a strange, old, rusty tale
Splendid and terrible your love
Straight strength pitched into the surliness of the ditch
Stuff of the moon
Suddenly, out of dark and leafy ways
Sun and wind and beat of sea
Tell me
Tell me what youre doing over here, John Gorham
That strange companion came on shuffling feet
The aged man, when he beheld winter approaching
The air is full of dawn and spring
The air is like a butterfly
The ancient songs
The Archer is wake
The arches of the red bridge
The child who threw away leaf after leaf
The coral fisher, who had been a long time beneath the water
The darkness rolls upward
The darkness steals the forms of all the queens
The dawn was apple-green
The earth keeps some vibration going
The elders bridal in July
The emperors of fourteen dynasties
The endless, foolish merriment of stars
The exquisite painter Ko-tsu
The first time the emperor Han heard a certain Word
The hard sand breaks
The huge red-buttressed mesa over yonder
The lightning flashed, and lifted
The little pitiful, worn, laughing faces
The little rose is dust, my dear
The little white prayers
The long resounding marble corridors
The mountains they are silent folk
The old songs
The old West, the old time
The pale day drowses on the western steep
The poet Wong
The Ragpicker sits and sorts her rags
The rain was over, and the brilliant air
There by the window in the old house
There he moved, cropping the grass at the purple canyons lip
There is a bird in the poplars
There is a country full of wine
Theres one that I once loved so much
There was a strangeness on your lips
There was a time in former years
There was never a sound beside the wood but one
There were three in the meadow by the brook
The russet leaves of the sycamore
The sailor boy who leant over the side of the Junk of Many Pearls
These be
These hearts were woven of human joys and cares
The shadows of the ships
The ships are lying in the bay
The single clenched fist lifted and ready
The sky
The snow whispers about me
The stranger in my gateslo! that am I
The swan existing
The throats of the little red trumpet-flowers are wide open
The very small children in patched clothing
The well was dry beside the door
The white church on the hill
They ask me where Ive been
They brought me ambrotypes
They have dressed me up in a soldiers dress
They in the darkness gather and ask
They set the slave free, striking off his chains
They threw a stone, you threw a stone
This is the song of youth
Those on the top say they know you, Earththey are liars
Though I am little as all little things
Though your beauty be a flower
Thou hast made me known to friends whom I knew not
Three days I heard them grieve when I lay dead
To be able to see every side of every question
To come so soon to this imagined dark
To-night the little girl-nun died
To some the fat gods
To the passionate lover
To what shall a woman liken her beloved
Two rows of cabbages
Under dusky laurel leaf
Under the harvest moon
Unfold for men, O God, loves true, creative day
Up and down he goes
Very well, you liberals
What am I, Life? A thing of watery halt
What dim Arcadian pastures
What do I owe to you
Whateer our joy compelled
What has bent you
Whenever Richard Cory went down town
When I died, the circulating library
When I go back to earth
When I looked into your eyes
When I returned at sunset
When night drifts along the streets of the city
When the wind works against us in the dark
When you come tonight
Where are Elmer, Herman, Bert, Tom and Charley
Where shall I find you
While I stood listening, discreetly dumb
While my hair was still cut straight across my forehead
Whirl up, sea
White doves of Cytherea, by your quest
White foam flower, red flame flower
Who is the runner in the skies
Who loves the rain
Who will be naming the wind
Why are the things that have no death
Why do
Why do you always stand there shivering
Will you glimmer on the sea
Within my hand I hold
Woman much missed, how you call to me, call to me
Wrap the earth in cloudy weather
Yes, stars were with me formerly
You are beautiful and faded
You are clear
You are my companion
You are over there, Father Malloy
You go a long and lovely journey
Your bodys motion is like music
Your bow swept over a string
You say I touch the barberries
You that but seek your modest rolls and coffee

RGV Turns Away Skyforce in Double Overtime
The visiting Rio Grande Valley Vipers erased a 14 point deficit over the final 8 minutes to seize a 119-116 double overtime win over the Sioux Falls Skyforce Thursday night at the Sanford Pentagon.
Losing a big lead late will happen in the NBA Development League as it did with 2,847 people in the building hoping for it not to occur. Any loss in any fashion will sting a bit. Henry Walker completed a three point play with 9:58 to go in the final frame to make the score 100-86 in favor of the Skyforce (22-16). Seven and a half minutes later the lead shifted back to the Vipers (26-11) at 104-103. Tense moments dotted the landscape throughout those final ticks of the clock in regulation and both overtimes with the Vipers prevailing. The final margin provided by three free throws from NBA assignee Robert Covington of the Houston Rockets. A three point try by Tre Kelley at the buzzer to send the game to a third overtime fell short.
As much as it stings to lose to the top team in the D-League in double overtime, the time for reflection must pass quickly as the same two teams meet again on Friday night. Plus a little perspective is needed to hasten the healing. The Skyforce were without their leaders DeAndre Liggins and Justin Hamilton who are in the midst of NBA Call-ups. Larry Drew II scored 22 with 8 assists and Anthony Mason, Jr. filled the stat sheet nicely with 21 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals and 4 blocks. For video confirmation of their body of work, see the adjoining clip.
Despite their gaudy record, the Vipers can be solved. It is noteworthy that Akeem Ellis finished with 21 points and 9 rebounds and Covington recorded 19 points and 11 boards. However we can look back to a game for RGV that went favorably in even more dramatic fashion. December 10, 2013 the Reno Bighorns led 109-96 with 4:15 left in the game. The Vipers came back to win 115-114 in regulation on a pair of Covington free throws with 21.7 seconds left. Ten days later Reno enacted revenge. After another sunrise we shall see what unfolds in the topsy-turvy world of professional basketball.

Description: Handmade by Journeyman Smith Jim Arbuckle, this fine point slicer is a perfect choice for slicing in the kitchen. Fine cuts of fruits, vegetables, and meats are a breeze. The slender shape also makes this a great choice when removing silver skin from meat.
The 5-1/4 inch blade is formed from high performing 154CM stainless steel. It is hardened and triple tempered to 58-59 Hrc. A hand rubbed satin finish lends an heirloom quality. The blade is convex ground to minimize food sticking to the blade. Though this technique is much more difficult to create, it is much more effective than a granton edge, and is clearly worth the effort!
The contoured grips are formed from stabilized mallee burl and secured by nickel silver pins. By stabilizing the wood, Jim ensures that it will hold up well to the demanding environment of either a home or commercial kitchen. A deep choil provides a comfortable, secure place to rest the 1st finger. The handle allows for several different grips and makes the knife easy to maneuver even with slippery hands. In between the scales on the back of the spine, Jim has hand fileworked a modified serpentine design.
A very attractive and functional tool for the kitchen, collector, or to be used out in the field.

The federal and Tasmanian governments will throw at least another $102 million at a forest peace deal if the state's upper house passes legislation to back it.
Members of the Legislative Council (MLCs) are about to begin a crucial debate after an historic deal between environmentalists and the timber industry to end 30 years of conflict was done last month.
MLCs have said they want to know exactly how much money is available to fund the restructure of the ailing Tasmanian forestry industry.
They got their answer on Tuesday when federal environment minister Tony Burke jetted in to pledge a further $62.5 million from commonwealth coffers, to be funded by cuts to other environmental programs.
The Tasmanian government will chip in a further $39.5 million.
More money will be on offer to compensate major employer Ta Ann for timber lost with the decision to protect around 500,000 hectares of native forest in the state.
MLCs are now under massive pressure to pass the bill before Christmas, with Ta Ann saying it will close its two mills if the deal fails and Mr Burke flagging a possible end to federal government involvement.
"What the upper house members said they needed to know before they started debate, they've been provided with today," Mr Burke told reporters.
" ... With (the agreement) you can very easily see a path for investment, you can see a path for employment, you can see a pathway where the forestry industry has security of wood supply and a level of social licence that the forestry industry does not have in any other part of Australia."
The $102 million adds to $276 million already pledged to the process.
Mr Burke said $28 million of the federal money would be used to support workers and contractors and $25 million to help regions adjust to, for example, plantations.
He said the money would begin to flow to the state almost immediately once the legislation was passed.
Tasmania's Liberal opposition, which says it will rip up the agreement if elected, immediately slammed the extra funding.
"This offer isn't even 30 pieces of silver, it's more like 15," opposition leader Will Hodgman said in a statement.
"It is a shameful sell-out of the forestry industry and less than half the amount offered by Mark Latham in 2004."
The upper house debate is expected to last several days.

Boca Raton's Amy Botwinick wants you to know that her self-help book about divorce has nothing to do with her work on "Divorce Party The Musical: The Hilarious Journey to Hell…and Back" coming to Fort Lauderdale's Parker Playhouse Nov. 27 through Dec. 9.
"The play has nothing to do with the book," explains Botwinick, a chiropractor-turned-writer. "Once I finished the book I was looking around thinking, 'Ok, what can you do next?' I always say I went from chiropractor to divorce coach. In the book I say to the reader that I made every mistake possible, so you learn from what I learned…the hard way."
What she decided to do next was to take another approach to the subject matter of her 2005 book publishing "Congratulations on Your Divorce – The Road to Finding Your Happily Ever After." Perhaps a comedy for the stage?
In 2009 she started writing the script, but she knew she needed help from someone with experience in the medium. Someone like Juno Beach's Mark Schwartz, who produced the monster hit "Menopause The Musical."
"I had it all in my head," says Botwinick. "I was running around Boca trying to find someone to help and getting nowhere. So I was at a bar function, I mean a bar as in a lawyer bar, in West Palm Beach with my [second] husband Gary, who is an attorney. I don't think we were married yet at the time. Everyone was talking lawyer stuff and I found myself in need of someone to talk to. I'm looking around and I see this guy with a ponytail. He looks cool, so I start up a conversation with him. When he told me what he did I immediately started to break out in a sweat. I kept thinking, 'don't throw up on him.' "
After recalling that he had seen her promoting her book on "The Tyra Show," Schwartz put Botwinick in touch with director/choreographer/lyricist Jay Falzone, who wrote parody lyrics to Top 40 golden oldies for the show ("I wrote it and he shaped it," says Botwinick).
The musical is about Linda who is facing a divorce after 16 years of marriage. Unable to move on, she eats her feeling, preferring large tubs of Chubby Hubby ice cream. Her sister Carolyn, cousin Courtney and college roommate Sheila stage an intervention with a weekend divorce party, which evolves from no-he-didn't moral support…to girl-listen-up advice…to himbo ogling.
The show made a debut at West Palm Beach's Kravis Center back in January to savage reviews but sold-out houses.
"We tightened it up," says Botwinick. "It's a much better show. It's more cohesive. It has better lines. It was definitely good to get audience reaction. You don't know what you have until you put it up there onstage."
Also for this run at Parker Playhouse is new tour merchandise in the form of an "I Rub My Duckie" vibrating bath toy. The $30 pinpoint massager is billed as being for treating muscle tension (go to the website DivorcePartyTheMusical.com for two other vibrating toys: the Pocket Rocket and the Jack Rabbit).
"By the end of the show, women are dancing in the aisles and leaving with a smile on their face knowing they are not alone," adds Botwinick. "And our concessions are a tongue-in-cheek nod to that."
"Divorce Party The Musical"
When: 8 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday; 1 and 7 p.m. on Sunday
Where: Parker Playhouse, 707 N.E. Eighth Street (Holiday Park) in Fort Lauderdale
Cost: $31.50 to $39
Contact: 954-462-0222 or ParkerPlayhouse.com.

Rock On: A Modern Rocker Roundup
I love myself a good rocking chair. It's such a great way to relax at night, get out any nervous energy and even get in a tiny bit of exercise.
I have a vintage rocking chair from my grandmother that I just adore but have also been eyeing a few modern ones lately to add to the mix. Here are a few drool worthy options I have found.
1. The Buttercup Rocker by Blu Dot is my current obsession. I literally dreamt about it last night...sigh.
2. This fun Acapulco Rocker by Innit Designs comes in C(yan) M(agenta) Y(ellow) or K(black).
3. The Don'Do Rocking Chair by Massaud is elegant and stunning and is available at Switch Modern.
4. The Finn Rocker is Anthroplogies Mid Century inspired take on the modern rocker.
5. Iglooplay by 2 Modern is another wood form that keeps me entranced.

U.S. Census Bureau Daily Feature for February 25
Feb 25, 2013, 12:01 ET
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Following is the daily "Profile America" feature from the U.S. Census Bureau:

Profile America — Monday, February 25th. Paper money has circulated in North America since 1690, when the Massachusetts Bay Colony issued some to paper over — so to speak — the shortage of coins. But these were just promissory notes from governing bodies. That changed on this date in 1862, when Congress passed the Legal Tender Act, fixing paper money as a means of paying the government's considerable Civil War bills with something other than gold or silver. One result was that greenbacks became a means of exchange for all private transactions. Currently, there are about 1.6 trillion U.S. dollars in circulation. From that total, America's nearly 117 million households draw an average annual income of just over $50,000. Profile America is in its 16th year as a public service of the U.S. Census Bureau.
