Supervisor Repeatedly Exposed Himself to Female Employees, Federal Agency Says
MADISON, WIS. – A major Midwestern lumber supplier, Biewer Wisconsin Sawmill, Inc. (Biewer), violated federal law by allowing female employees to be sexually harassed at its sawmill in Prentice, Wis., the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
The agency's administrative investigation which preceded the lawsuit revealed that a Biewer supervisor created a sexually hostile work environment when he repeatedly exposed his genitals to female employees over a period of years. EEOC alleges that Biewer did not fire the supervisor until the Price County District Attorney began an investigation which led to the supervisor being charged under Wisconsin state law with two counts of lewd and lascivious behavior (Case No. 08-CM-106 in Price County Circuit Court).
"Women have the same right as men to earn a living in an environment free from sexual harassment," said EEOC Chicago District Director John Rowe, who supervised the agency's investigation. "Employers who don't protect their workers' rights need to know that the federal government will enforce our national policy against sexual abuse in the workplace."
The EEOC filed suit after first exhausting its efforts to reach a voluntary settlement out of court. The agency seeks compensatory and punitive damages for Verna J. Weber and a class of similarly-situated female employees, in addition to an order barring future discrimination and other relief. The suit, captioned EEOC v. Biewer Wisconsin Sawmill, Inc. (Civil Action No. 3:09-cv-482), was filed in federal district court in Madison and assigned to U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb.
EEOC Chicago Regional Attorney John Hendrickson noted, "Despite all of the negative attention focused on sexual harassment over the past 20 years, it continues to be an area which demands the EEOC's focused law enforcement attention. This appears to be one of those cases which show exactly that – and in extraordinarily graphic terms."
According to its web site, Biewer is one of several affiliated and closely-held companies engaged in the lumber business under the Biewer name in Wisconsin, Michigan, and Illinois and headquartered in St. Clair, Mich. The companies manufacture and distribute products for a wide variety of building applications under the names "Select Cut," "Monarch," "Dricon," and "Everguard." The companies have sawmills in Prentice, Wis., and McBain, Mich., and manufacturing and distribution facilities in Seneca, Ill., and Lansing, Mich. They are affiliated with Biewer Logistics, which the web site describes as offering custom transportation and expert shipping management, and with Biewer Industrial Lumber, LLC, which is described as the "business to business" branch of the companies.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting discrimination in employment. Further information about the Commission is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.
The EEOC Chicago District Office is responsible for processing charges of discrimination, administrative enforcement, and the conduct of agency litigation in Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and North and South Dakota, with Area Offices in Milwaukee and Minneapolis.

The only recipe I have brewed with mash hopping is Tasty's JBA. I just added the required hops to the 60 minute mash. I dont know if it makes much difference, but when Tasty was asked why he does it, he said "i dont really know". It would be interesting to try an only mash hopped beer.As far as FWHing, I know that Denny sent two bottles to Jamil, and Jamil took them to blind taste testing. The majority of people said the FWH was more harsher/bitter. But, from reading the forum I see Denny is still a big fan of FWH. I am curious if he had a different experience.Anyways goodluck with your DIPA, I found this article to be very interesting:http://www.homebrewersassociation.org/pages/community/news/show?title=5-tips-on-brewing-ipas-from-mitch-steele
Somewhere someone told me to count FWH as a 20 minute. But the gas chronometer test shows maybe it should be 70 min? I guess it doesn't matter too much. Just curious

I have a pet that "seems" to be helping me in battles as I quest. When I am in battle with some creature I find along the way, my pet appears to be following the NPC I'm doing battle with and not me. What it's doing, I'm not sure, but it seems to be attacking the NPC.
Any help or thought?

The recently elected right-wing National Action Party (PAN), led by president-elect Vicente Fox, has a disturbing history of hostility towards women's human rights. In the PAN-controlled state Chihuahua, PAN legislators repealed clauses that allowed abortion in circumstances where the women were raped or where their lives were in danger. Elsewhere, in Ciudad Juarez, a city within Chihuahua, more than 100 young women have been raped and killed in the past six years that PAN has been in power - with little legislative or judicial action being taken. Local NGOs charge that Fox's "indifference" towards women and his strong ties with the Catholic Church will threaten the family planning programs and birth control used by over 11 million Mexican women.

Yesterday I made a quick dash to the local shopping centre (hellish – too many Christmas shoppers getting in my way. Online shopping people! Why wasn't I online shopping? Why darling, when I need a sparkly mauve lipstick, I need it now).
Whilst I was in Boots, I was accosted by a bizarre lady from the Benefit counter who grabbed me and asked where I got my brows done. I know a sales woman when I see one, so I mumbled something about getting threaded a few weeks ago.
"Come, come…" she said, "sit in my chair. There. Sit."
So it turns out Benefit have a brow service at £11 where they will sort them out for you (waxing and tweezing). To be honest, I did actually think she sound like she knew what she was talking about, but she was so damn pushy! Even when I said I only had them done recently, she was insisted I need some tidying up (which I do but can't people take subtle hints anymore?).
I managed to get away although she looked like she was going to stuff a dr. feelgood down my throat.
Here's the thing – I have a confession….
I did the training for Benefit many moons ago when I was a student at University. They have a very particular style of dealing with customers but let's just say it doesn't rhyme with supple.
Here is my rather more relaxed selling style.
Me – "Would you like to buy this?"
Them – "No"
Me – "Fine!"
I lasted a day, 5 hours if you count the time I spent in the toilets, sobbing uncontrollably, 4 if you count the hour I spent saying "I don't need this, I don't need this, I'm a student, I'm supposed to be poor."
So – I have a hierarchy of counters with the worst staff for being pushy or generally not helpful.
Of course each counter will vary from place to place – I am not tarring – but..these are just my observations.
There will be great MAC staff out there – I just haven't met any of them. If its not queuing for hours whilst a few tranny-rific girls exchange drinking tips (do they go home looking like that?), its the inability to offer advice and suggestions, and a general, "Take it or leave it – we are MAC and we will hit our sales targets whether you buy from me or not" attitude. If you were helpful darling, you would sell a lot more.
I once called the London store, where I spoke to one of the most condescending women, ever.
"I just bought this pigment, its a quarter full"
[laughs hysterically] "No, no, its a finer matte powder which is why its only partly full"
"But its a frost. There's glittery bits in it."
[laughs hysterical-er] "No."
*I do recommend MAC mail order though although they send me cracked make up quite a lot.
Bitch Rating: 4/5
2. Benefit
Benefit are one of the pushier brands, thats for sure. They try to sell you things in threes…you have to look out for the ones with crazy eyes. They are crazy. They are told of course, to reach certain targets but it doesn't bode well for long term customer relations.
The problem with pushing someone into sale, is that in the UK we can't return stuff. Once you make someone resentful that they have bought something the really didn't want to buy, they are going to avoid you like the plague the next time they walk past the counter. You know, walking round in a giant U bend whilst ducking and diving to avoid you…
Bitch Rating: 3/5
3. Trish McEvoy
I had the much discussed issue at Trish McEvoy. I must emphasise that there is a brilliant counter and a really bad counter near me. The bad counter has a super scary lady, who likes to tell you that your skin looks "awful" and you are going to turn into a swamp monster if you don't buy her beta hydroxy pads…
And of course she palms off faulty (but still expensive) make up on you too. And she makes you feel like a petty cow for being annoyed that a £28 foundation that doesn't even come with a case has a big giant crater in it.
I can't face going back to that counter, no chance.
Bitch Rating: 4.5/5
I could go on all day but I won't….but you can certainly let me know which counters annoy you and why?
My top 5 counter bugbears:
1. Staff that ignore you when you are waiting to be served (and don't even acknowledge you – a simple hello, or I'll be 10 minutes makes *all* the difference)
2. Staff that chitter-chatter too much, before – during and after a sale. I have worked in retail and I know it can get dull but when you have a customer having a conversation about penises (yes, really) is kind of not really suitable.
3. Staff that try to sell you something you don't want or pull the hard sell. It can be that you just really don't want it, or you have explained why you don't need yet another mascara or red lipstick. Some people panic and decide they must offload as many products on you as possible otherwise their time has been wasted.
On principle, if I have had great service I do always, always remember, and will buy a lipstick or a small item at least if I am happy with the SA (and of course the product itself). But when I say I really do have too many foundations etc. and they still try to convince me, I get quite irritated.
On top of that there's staff that are always trying to add on extra products (the Trish lady was not happy with my £100+ spend and wanted me to buy the planner organiser too – she looked miffed when I didn't!). If I want to see more, I shall ask – honest.
4. Staff not taking their time and rushing through. I don't know if anyone else experiences this but I find that some SA's are mega lazy. Like when buying a product such as a foundation, a good SA should always test it on you, right?
But the amount of times someone has tested a base on my hand (when we all know very well that is not a good way to colour match!) or have used the power of their eyesight to tell me if a shade is right….nope.
You need to take a bit of what I have on, off my face and test the new base however annoying it is for you. Anyone who won't do this (on a high end counter) is lazy and just wants a sale done asap.
In terms of staff rushing – I once was interested in four lipsticks (and knowing me, I would actually buy four if I liked all four)…well the SA tried all four on me…AT THE SAME TIME. One each quarter of my lip. No good for getting a true feel for the shade, is it?!
Also, I once went to a Laura Mercier counter and the SA was great then at the end of it she shouted "NEXT!". I didn't like that. I didn't go back.
5. Staff that are dumb. By this I mean a members of staff that do not know what their products are, what ingredients mean, that can't apply make up etc. etc. etc.
True conversation
"I'd like a cream with SPF please for my other half"
"You don't need an SPF in England"
"Yes but – we can still get sun damage."
"But its not very sunny here, its cloudy"
"Yes but it doesn't have to be. UV rays come through clouds too…"
"Oh. I didn't know that."
The brand begins with the letter C.
Staff training – its there for a reason. I clue myself up before buying most things (as I resent paying full price so I shop around for the best deal first anyway and go to a counter if I can't get it cheaper online). So I know when someone it talking rubbish to me – I did the research, darling.*
*I seem to be turning into Kim Woodburn.
Theres more irritants, but I better stop before I get labelled…dare I say it…grumpy?!

Caribbean-Themed Resort near Orlando Theme Parks
Silver Lake Resort is set on 35 sun-kissed acres bordered by natural wetlands in the heart of Kissimmee, a town Fodor's dubbed "the gateway to Disney." The resort lies just a few miles from the entrance to the Walt Disney World® Theme Parks, and sells tickets to other major attractions in the greater Orlando area, making it an ideal home base for theme-park-bound travelers.
The resort's campus is dotted with residential villas and town homes. Set among these, standard hotel units are designed to feel like a home away from home. Each unit is equipped with a king bed and mini fridge and is decorated in bold, tropical colors.
Guests can take breaks from park hopping by relaxing in the resort's outdoor hot tub or in the 9,000-square-foot heated pool while enjoying a drink from the poolside cabana bar. The resort is within walking distance of several upscale and chain restaurants and has barbecue grills outside, where guests can grill their own dinners.
Kissimmee, Florida: Easy Access to World-Famous Theme Parks and Major Orlando Attractions
Located on the banks of Lake Tohopekaliga, Kissimmee sits about 22 miles from downtown Orlando and just 16 miles from the Walt Disney World® Theme Parks. The world's most-visited entertainment resort, it spans roughly 30,000 acres, encompassing four theme parks, two water parks, five golf courses, and the Downtown Disney® area. There's no shortage of things to do here: begin your day by boarding a rocket-shaped three-seater that climbs to 180 feet before entering a deep black tunnel and racing past stars, satellites, and constellations. Walk across the park to sample Moroccan cuisine for lunch, or ride a dune buggy through a haunted 18th-century mansion. Before heading back to the hotel, take in the nightly fireworks, laser, and water show. As one of the most popular family destinations in the world, sunny Orlando is home to other theme parks including Universal Studios and SeaWorld.
Those hoping to shake up the typical theme-park-dominated itinerary can head into downtown Orlando's vibrant arts district. The neighborhood boasts venues such as the CityArts Factory, a multifaceted patchwork of gallery spaces, and SAK Comedy Lab, which holds improv shows five nights a week.
About a 10-minute drive north, you'll find several cultural institutions surrounding Orlando Loch Haven Park, including the Orlando Museum of Art, with a collection featuring pieces by Georgia O'Keeffe, Robert Rauschenberg, Ansel Adams, and Andy Warhol. The park is also home to the Orlando Shakespeare Theater and the Orlando Science Center. Visit the Science Center to take a rover across a simulation of Mars's red surface or race model cars down a 70-foot pinewood-derby track.

The four words I need to know to get by in Valencia, Venezuela, for the 2012 FUDCon in LATAM while being an english speaker. (The fifth word may be "poker," we shall see tonight.) I've had a lovely time here thus far, though the internets have been somewhat unkind to me 🙂 I'd go on and on about how lovely it is here, and how good it is to see everyone, but you all know that stuff anyway (all true!) so I'll skip right ahead to the meat of this post:
FUDCon here is distinctly different from from how it works in North America, and even EMEA to some extent; I haven't had the pleasure of attending a FUDCon in the APAC region yet, but I suspect it is somewhat similar. Lots of people showing up to learn about Fedora; there are maybe 30 or so people here from various parts of South America who are Fedora contributors, all of whom contribute in varying parts of the Fedora Project, in different capacities. Lots of sharing of knowledge – from the use of different applications, robotics hacking, graphic design, becoming a contributor.
We did get the opportunity today to have two solid chunks of time to gather the regional ambassadors and spend some time making plans around a few things, though we did see a few folks shuffle in and out to give presentations. It comes down to a few things, and they're things that I'd like to be seeing ambassadors in all regions think more about.
One of the items is planning for the next year to 1.5 years. First off: the budget for each fiscal year (our money year runs from March 1 – February 28) gets set around the December/January time-frame, maybe into February a bit. So knowing what the needs are when that time comes helps us to get the money we need to continue to do outreach, FUDCons, etc. The things I'm talking about planning, at least in this particular situation, are specific events where we'd like a Fedora presence. There are a few things we need to know:
- Event name/type of conference
- When, where, how many attendees, does it have a booth fee
- How many people needed to staff at a minimum; how much it will cost to get people there if they need sponsorship
The "we" here is the Ambassadors from the LATAM region – finding this out for each country, making sure that there is coverage, and then prioritizing what to go to. If there are events where we want to have a bigger presence, figure out what the plan is around that. Figuring out what the needs will be for swag at the event.
The second major issue for ambassadors here is really logistics of shipping; some countries can't ship to others, customs is a nightmare, and items need to be printed in various languages. We talked today about the possibilities of just possibly having a hired person specializing in shipping, or outsourcing to a logistics company who can package and drop ship things as needed, having FADs where we can put together packages and bring them home, as well as simply coordinating what countries are best for production and shipping, finding out who their friendly neighbors are, and making sure there are volunteers to wrangle ordering, payment, shipping, etc.
LATAM has spent very small amounts of money in the past; part of this is cultural tendency, part of it is simply difficulty of payment (some places don't have paypal, we can't directly pay in some places, etc), some of it is simply lack of coordination, or someone saying, by God, GO FORTH AND DO THINGS, the money is there. So to those of you in LATAM, please: Make plans. Think big. Let's think about where we can go, where we can reach the most people, in this region of the world where people are incredibly interested in open source and the opportunities it can provide them.
The logistics piece is going to take a number of people to investigate; planning out the event "wish list" for the next year or so should take less time, and I suggested that September 28 (about a month from now) be the goal date for having a complete list of events that could possibly be attended over the next year to year-and-a-half. Alejandro Perez has a wiki page already for coordinating this, and a number of people volunteered to help push in weekly meetings and to work with other ambassadors in their more immediate regions to try and coordinate this list. Remember: it's a "wish list" – once the LATAM ambassadors have that as a starting point, it's easier to narrow down the priorities, so don't be afraid to throw your favorite event on the list. From there, it's easier to start thinking about swag needs, and when and where things are needed, which helps from the view of ordering things like media, shirts, stickers, and the like. Which will put us at a good point come December, right as the budget planning for next year starts. This is also when the planned EMEA FAD in Rheinfelden will be – a fair amount of that FAD is centered around planning the next year+ of events, swag, etc. I'm hoping that we'll be in way better shape as far as planning and knowing our target budget for next year than we ever have been by this point.
Ambassadors worldwide have always done an excellent job of being responsible with the budget, carefully weighing the value of what we spend against the return on that money, ensuring that those attending events are contributing event reports and blog posts. But I have noticed that towards the end of the year – when we are getting lower on the amount in the bucket, we tend to slow down spending – mostly because of concern about "I don't know what other people are planning" – and I know that in EMEA and NA, I have seen people say things like, "We've already spent plenty, and LATAM and APAC have hardly spent, but we don't know what they have coming, either." So planning – not just in LATAM, but really, in all the regions – is one thing that can absolutely help each of these groups to know what is expected in terms of spending, and helps us to be more confident about decisions towards the end of the year; ideally, spending all the money is where we want to be at, so that we don't wind up with a lower budget in the next year.
I do want folks in all the regions to start thinking bigger – and thinking outside their normal event types. We've predominantly been attending traditional linux conferences, either of the community/homegrown type, or bigger-budget events. But I think there is definitely value in getting Ambassadors – and even non-Ambassadors who are contributing in other areas of the project who want to share their domain knowledge (and honestly, I really do consider contributors, in any area of the project, who share with others to be Ambassadors, regardless of the formalities) – to events that are more specific to interests, roles, etc. There are Ruby conferences, Python conferences, cloud conferences, etc. – and I'd like to see us think about how we can get some of our Ambassadors and/or people who specialize in an area where there is a conference (ie: get a python person to PyCon), to that conference. Get them in a Fedora shirt. Encourage them to submit a proposal to present. If they want to be learning at the conference, and not necessarily sitting at a booth, make sure they can get at least a small package of media and stickers to be a walking booth, to some extent – so they can spread the brand and media and knowledge at least in presentations they attend, when they meet others. Hopefully as we start seeing people do more planning for events in the future – we'll see some diversity in these new areas, and maybe we'll find that those places are just as good of locations to find new users or contributors, and possibly even better.
It seems to me – with my former program manager on – that thinking about the budget, and event and swag planning, is something that we could definitely be doing on a yearly (every other release) basis, to be coordinated with the time period when the budget gets set. (That's not a hint, Jaroslav, it's just me thinking out loud and wondering if that would help Ambassadors. I promise.)
I look forward to seeing what the folks in LATAM come up with over the next month, and am hopeful that these kinds of efforts will enable them to do a wider variety of events in the future – and I definitely hope that other regions (I'm looking at you, APAC Ambassadors!) start thinking about doing similar planning; I encourage everyone to take a look at Alejandro's wiki page as he shares that information, and see if something similar will work for you.

Today's Current Taipei Travel Offers:

No. 8 Florida struggles with injury-riddled roster in 64-58 loss to Tennessee
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Florida is staggering toward a Southeastern Conference title, but a growing injury list has removed the aura of invincibility that surrounded the Gators for much of the season.
The eighth-ranked Gators' health woes continued Tuesday as they fell 64-58 to Tennessee for their second loss in three games. Florida forward Casey Prather went to the locker room in the closing minutes after taking a blow to the head under the basket. The injury will require further evaluation.
Junior forward Will Yeguette hasn't played for Florida since undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right knee Feb. 8. The Gators (22-5, 12-3 SEC) also were playing Tuesday without guard Michael Frazier II, who sustained a concussion Saturday in a 71-54 victory over Arkansas.
Florida's resulting lack of depth resulted in some tired legs and inaccurate shots. After making three of their first four 3-point attempts against Tennessee, the Gators were 1 of 13 the rest of the night.
"We don't have any excuses," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "When we line up, we line up and play. ... Was there fatigue we're battling? Sure. Were we small sometimes, and we got burned with a small lineup? Yes. But you know what? I always believe where there's a will, there's a way. There are things you've got to do to be able to overcome, so to speak."
They weren't able to overcome a huge performance from Tennessee's Jordan McRae.
McRae scored 27 points to carry Tennessee (17-10, 9-6) to its sixth consecutive victory. Jarnell Stokes added eight points and 14 rebounds as Tennessee outrebounded Florida 41-31 and won the lone regular-season meeting between these rivals. This marks the first time since 1964 that Florida and Tennessee aren't facing each other twice in the regular season.
Mike Rosario scored 16 points, Patric Young added 15 and Casey Prather had 10 for Florida.
"I feel like we expected to win this game," Stokes said. "After the game, I didn't even get that sort of 'upset' feeling. ... I felt coming into these games we expect to win. I'm celebrating because we won. I'm happy we won, but those are our expectations."
The importance of the game brought one of the most boisterous crowds of the season to Thompson-Boling Arena, and McRae energized the 19,567 fans with an early steal and dunk to open the scoring. Florida calmly responded with nine straight points and continued to lead for most of the first half.
But the Vols hung around and moved back in front just before halftime largely because of McRae, who was 7 of 12 from the field in the first half, including 3 of 7 from 3-point range.
"The only thing I thought we could have done better is that I thought we gave up one or two threes to him out of the press, which I thought hurt us a little bit," Donovan said. "Then, I think there were one or two plays where there were screens and we were late getting there. He made some tough shots, but he's a good player. Overall, I think we guarded them very, very well. The difference in the game was the rebounding - the offensive rebounding - and then our inability to make a shot."
Tennessee needed a big performance from McRae because Trae Golden and Stokes weren't able to contribute as they had for most of this winning streak.
Golden, the reigning SEC player of the week, shot 1 of 6 and scored just two points in the first half. He finished the night with eight points and two assists. Stokes, who entered the game with eight double-doubles in his last nine games, played just 24 minutes while battling foul trouble.
Florida scored the first five points of the second half to regain the lead at 37-35. When Stokes picked up his third foul with 17:06 left, the Gators seemed poised to take control.
It didn't happen.
McRae blocked a shot on one end of the court and got a dunk on the other end to tie the game with 16:34 left. Golden delivered a driving basket 40 seconds later to put the Vols back in front. The Vols stayed ahead the rest of the way.
"It just proves that we're a good team and that we can beat a quality opponent, like Florida," McRae said. "Florida is probably, obviously one of the best teams in the country, ranked top-10, so it's a big win for us, a statement win."
Florida's last hope faded when Tennessee's Josh Richardson drew a charge to nullify a basket by Rosario that would have cut the Vols' lead to 61-58 with 28.3 seconds remaining.
Tennessee was coming off the longest game in school history, a 93-85 victory at Texas A&M on Saturday that lasted four overtimes. But the Vols showed no signs of fatigue and actually wore down the shorthanded Gators in the second half.
"Those guys executed when they needed to," Rosario said. "They made shots. That was the difference in the game. We didn't get stops when we were supposed to get stops on the defensive end, and we didn't make shots when we needed to make shots. That's what it came down to."

In the last and one of the most beautiful passages in Sacred Scripture, the Apostle
St. John symbolically describes the Church in glory, the kingdom of heaven which awaits
those who do God's will.
And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and
the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and
great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is
the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the
books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death
and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man
according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the
second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the
lake of fire.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were
passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem,
coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I
heard a great voice out of heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,
and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with
them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall
be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for
the former things are passed away."
And he that sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." And he
said unto me, "Write: for these words are true and faithful." And he said unto
me, "It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto
him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall
inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and
unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and
idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and
brimstone: which is the second death."
And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the
seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, "Come hither, I will shew thee the
bride, the Lamb's wife." And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high
mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from
God, having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like
a jasper stone, clear as crystal; and had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and
at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve
tribes of the children of Israel: on the east three gates; on the north three gates; on
the south three gates; and on the west three gates. And the wall of the city had twelve
foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates
thereof, and the wall thereof. And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large
as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The
length and the breadth and the height of it are equal. And he measured the wall thereof,
an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the
angel. And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like
unto clear glass. And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all
manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the
third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald; The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the
seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the
eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. And the twelve gates were twelve pearls:
every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were
transparent glass.
And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of
it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the
glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof. And the nations of them
which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their
glory and honour into it. And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: for there
shall be no night there. And they shall bring the glory and honour of the nations into And
there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh
abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life.
And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the
throne of God and of the Lamb, in the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the
river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her
fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And
there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and
his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their
foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of
the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
And he said unto me, "These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the
holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be
"Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of
this book."
And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down
to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. Then saith he unto
me, "See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the
prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God."
And he saith unto me, "Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the
time is at hand. He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let
him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is
holy, let him be holy still."
"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man
according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first
and the last."
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of
life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. For without are dogs, and
sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh
a lie.
"I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I
am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star."
And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come." And let him that heareth say,
"Come." And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the
water of life freely.
For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If
any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written
in this book: and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy,
God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from
the things which are written in this book.
He which testifieth these things saith, "Surely I come quickly."
Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Gardening With Chickens: Best Backyard Breeds
Fluffy chicks are making an appearance in pet and feed stores right now, just in time for spring. Gathering eggs is the biggest benefit to keeping chickens, but the birds also contribute to the garden. They produce tons of manure that you can compost and they gobble up weeds and slugs if you toss them into their run. If you're thinking about getting chickens, consider a breed that not only lays lots of eggs, but makes a great pet as well.
Ameraucanas, and the more rare Araucanas, lay large, bluish green eggs. The birds have feathery beards and very pretty plumage. The hens lay heavily, but they tend to have aloof personalities. Sometimes hatcheries sell Easter Egg chickens, which are birds that lay colored eggs but don't fit exactly into the Ameraucana or Araucana Standard of Perfection.
Barred Rocks are an heirloom American breed with gorgeous black and white feathers. They lay a prolific amount of brown eggs and have friendly personalities.
Black Australorps have gorgeous black feathers that flash iridescent green when the sun strikes them. Curious and sweet, they make really wonderful pets, especially because they are good layers of large brown eggs.
Buff Orpingtons are sweet and docile and don't mind being held, especially if you handle them a lot when they are chicks. The birds grow quite large and they have heavy golden orange plumage. They lay large brown eggs.
Golden Laced Wyandottes have lustrous golden brown feathers that are rimmed with black. The beautiful hens tend to be energetic and lively and they reliably lay large brown eggs.
Polish chickens have a powder puff of feathers atop their heads and lay white eggs. Part of a Polish chicken's charm is they are very tame and sweet and they bumble around because their floppy head feathers make it difficult for them to see. Just keep in mind that this cute quality also makes them more susceptible to predators and they should be included in a flock with other breeds that can warn them of any danger.
Rhode Island Red chickens are perhaps the most famous American breed. The large birds have reddish brown foliage and big personalities. Their bossy nature often places them at the top of the pecking order, especially when paired with calmer breeds like Buff Orpingtons and Australorps.
Purchasing chicks at a store is a great way to go because you can pick and choose from several breeds and the chicks are often sexed—which means you'll most likely get hens, not roosters (though roosters still manage to occasionally find their way into the mix). Many breeds come in standard and the smaller "bantam" sizes.
No matter what breeds you choose keep in mind that all chickens scratch the soil looking for insects and worms, often digging up newly planted seeds and seedlings in the process. They also love to sample almost any plant, with salad greens and basil being two particular favorites. When left to their own devices chickens can quickly cause a lot of damage in a garden, especially vegetable gardens. This is not to say you should never let them roam, just supervise them when you do and encourage them to explore areas with established perennial plantings or lawns. Chickens are also susceptible to a number of predators, including dogs, hawks, coyotes, and raccoons, so it's important to watch out for them whenever they are outside of their coop and run.

TAM's Health and Safety Policy Template
If your organisation has more than four employees then you are legally required to have a Health and Safety Policy.
Based on the HSE'sThe "Health and Safety Executive",
Many companies create potential trouble for themselves with the Health and Safety Policy. Two common mistakes we have seen made are, firstly, some businesses overcomplicate their Policy and, in doing so, create potential contradictions or shortcomings as to what is actually being done about Health and Safety in their business
A second common mistake is to produce a hardcopy of the Health and Safety Policy, which is then put in a drawer and forgotten about. The company then fails to keep the document up-to-date to reflect, for example, changes in personnel, etc.
TAM's Health and Safety Policy template will help you as follows
All of this will ensure the Health and Safety Policy is an active working document that will actually help to maintain good Health and Safety and risk management standards in your workplace.

Reading List
Two of the most notable open source Java caching solutions have joined forces with Terracotta's purchase of Ehcache. Terracotta, unique for providing JVM-level "pojo clustering", can take multi-threaded single-JVM apps and have them run across multiple JVMs with no code changes. Ehcache is nearly ubquitous with hundreds of thousands of deployments; it provides the standard HashMap style interface similar to Oracle Coherence. The combined entity likely has the largest install footprint of all Java caching products. InfoQ spoke to Terractta CEO Amit Pandey and Ehcache founder Greg Luck.
For Ehcache users, joining Terracotta will bring:
- The same Apache 2 license they currently rely on
- A new hosting environment operated by Terracotta with state-of-the-art forums, source control, maven infrastructure, etc. all running alongside sourceforge infrastructure that will remain in place
- A dedicated team of engineers working full-time on EHCache performance and features
- A seamless and better-integrated upgrade path to add clustering and data distribution Ehcache-based applications.
- Enterprise support and training for existing EHCache installations
For Terracotta users:
- EHCache interfaces will replace Terracotta distributed cache as a single caching interface / standard for Terracotta distributed caching
- A single-node version of Terracotta that can run on the desktop w/o their server array
- Full freedom to run on the latest version of EHCache at all times, knowing it works with Terracotta
- One vendor support structure for their caching interfaces / libraries as well as their scalability / reliability runtime.
Amit Pandey commented that:
first thing will ensure a seamless user experience, make sure that the integration between EHCAche and Terracotta gets tighter than today, such as offering a standalone download of EHCache with a distributed coherent backend from Terracotta. You can do that today since we've partnered but there is extra work that you have to do as a developer. We'll be able to to make the joint performance of the integration different than the standalone piece with all the bytecode stuff that we're well known for.
For Terracotta the acquisition is "definitely a competitive blow to Coherence" according to Amit. Buying Ehcache gives Terracotta an easier path to adoption for the existing Ehcache install base which Terracotta claims "numbers in the hundreds of thousands, including the vast majority of the Global 1000." Buying Ehcache also gives more options for developers building distributed cache-based appliactions. While Terracotta was known for transparent POJO clustering, "the transparency is our greatest strength but some also criticize us that people have to go figure that out" said Amit. Greg Luck added:
Ehcache provies a very simple way of doing caching. I think Terracotta is simple but it requires a bit more thought. There are people who love TC for the pojo apporoach [but also] the mainstream that may not want to try something new. A lot of the sort of sizzle and attraction of TC appeals to the more cutting edge and people very pojo in their thinking but there isa whole class of folks in the J2EE world who are quite happy with a very simple api model.
Asked about the combined entitty's advantages over Coherence:
- Footprint. If you've built your app on ehcache, and you have a simple drop in upgrade for distribution now.
- Multiple approaches to caching. Traditional Terracotta pojo caching as well as the api-based approach.
- Open source. Greg Luck said that "Coherence is not open source. For a developer to decide to use coherence the decision needs to be made at a higher level (cto), while Ehcache and Terracotta development can start from the grass roots. So for people that want massive scale with coherence, they can start with ehcache on one node then move distributed with terracotta easily."
Greg Luck commented that he sees consolidation as important to keep competitive, even though he had rejected 3 offers from other companies in the previous years:
As you saw with SpringSource last week, there is definitely consolidation going on, partly triggered by Oracle's acquisition of Sun. Caching and distributed caching is particular important, and there is a risk that open source projects could get shut out. There is a still an array of new competitors like Apache Dynamite, Memcached - from my point of view it's get big or get out.
On the topic of memcached, Greg Luck talked about the integration with Terrracotta eventually improving Ehcache server, a Java competitor to memcachd that offers a RESTful api allowing it to deploy behind load balancers for easier scale across clusters: "today, each node has a 100% copy of all that data. That means to you're limited to whatever your GC can handle. Our customers have run up to 20gig. What happens if you want to run a terabyte sized cache? Up to this point, you couldn't do that with ehcache.. With Terracotta we'll figure out what the product roadmap looks like."
Ehcache will remain an Apache 2 licensed project available as today via sourceforge, Maven, etc. The acquisition means that Greg Luck is joining Terracotta, and the copyrights on the EHcache codebase is now owned byTerracotta Inc., in the same manner that JBoss years ago purchased Hibernate. Greg Luck posted a personal note about the acquisition.

- - no transactions
- - only full replication (affinity anyone?!?)
- - RMI-based communication (yuck)
- - no asynchronous cache operations
Which is almost exactly the same properties as Terracotta has - except now it has an API. Strange - I thought according to Ari and company API were the evil of this world :)
Anyways, I stand by my original post. Keep it cool guys and keep hyperbole at the reasonable size!

Re: Upon further look...
Couple of misstatements you made that I want to point out:
1. Transaction support is not present in either EHCache or DSO but is coming shortly
2. EHCache has replication and invalidation options. Terracotta has affinity-based replication. Between the 2 we offer as many options as any use case I have seen requires.
3. RMI-based, JGroups, JMS, all are available with EHCache. I will not comment on your opinion on RMI...it is yours to have.
4. Asynchronous cache operations are indeed built in to EHCache. Different cache regions can in fact have synch or asynch replication and all is controlled via config. Very easy to use.
As for Exactly the same properties--as established above, this is not true. More importantly, it is not relevant as EHCache has _the de facto API_ in caching and we are getting behind it with dollars and people to make it even better plus keep Terracotta in lock-step with EHCache always. Terracotta has no issue with API's. If I stated otherwise, I guess I misspoke. What I always meant is that clustering and caching are 2 separate but related concerns. Clustering should not put any new and unique demands on an app if it can avoid it. In some cases, such as Gridgain or more generic master/worker clustering and interfaces are one-and-the-same and people come to a framework with clustering built in because that's the business requirement (divide and conquer). In the case of caching, developers want eviction, eventing, easy memory and cache size tuning. And they want a clustered version to "just work." This makes Terracotta and EHCache a "spaghetti and meatballs" kind of pairing...not overlapping or redundant with each other in any way.
BTW, its a shame you are so upset and stuff because grid-based computing and Terracotta go together quite the same way as caching and Terracotta and if you wanted to integrate, I am sure our community would support the effort.

TC+EHCache without bootclasspath additions?
Peter Veentjer
Can the new distributed version of EHCache be used without having Terracotta needing bootclasspath additions?
Peter Veentjer
Multiverse: Software Transactional Memory
Re: TC+EHCache without bootclasspath additions?
great question. Round about answer here (bear with me).
1. Our Hibernate product that launches Friday works w/o the bootjar. But it does need a javaagent then. This is because of some technical reasons in the Hibernate use case but I wanted to get the message out that our bootjar and associated config for locks, etc. are not present in the Hibernate product
2. Distributed cache products built on the new Terracotta+EHCache do not need a bootjar or agent at all. Unless you want to share memory directly, the old-fashioned DSO way. Both options will be available when constructing a cache (we call these copy and identity caches internally right now). Copy caches don't need bootjars or agents. Identity ones do. You, the developer, will have the freedom.

2 nodes or so?
Nikita Ivanov
On a serous note, my view (and I repeat that this is mine and somewhat biased view) Terracotta is a technology that has a very narrow applicability - but when it fits it fits like a glove. And I'm sure they scale to more than 2 nodes... :)

Why do you think tc has a narrow applicability? There is no limit on the type of application you can build on top of tc imho. So can you elaborate on that?

I run Field Engineering at Terracotta and the consultants on the team are routinely working on 25+ Node deployments. Although, given Terracotta's Server Based architecture, the number of Nodes isn't much of a factor in terms of determining the "enormity" of any specific usage - it is more a function of the amount of clustered I/O against that data-set.
We actually strive to reduce the number of nodes so the customer saves on H/W and Management costs since Bloat-out is not the same thing as Scale-out. You Scale-out application nodes based on Application TPS that it needs to support and Terracotta-Server JVMs (Terracotta Striping) based on clustered-data-set-sizes and I/O against that.
Re: 2 nodes or so?
S Iyer
In the several hundred deployments Terracotta Consultants have been involved with, we have seen everything from Http-SessionClustering to DistributedCaches in various flavours/topologies/frameworks, to Data/Compute Grids to highly availabile Queues.
Applications in production today involve distributed ConcurrentHashMaps, HashMaps, LinkedLists, ArrayLists, LinkedBlockingQueues and complex object graphs in all shapes/sizes/hues. In terms of frameworks where Terracotta does the smart-replication of the underlying state - EHCache, Quartz, Hibernate 2nd Level Cache, Spring WebFlow, Spring Security come to mind as the more popular ones. And in between all of this, more esoteric usages such as using a JVM based Sequence Generator (instead of relying on an Oracle Sequence) or clustering a CyclicBarrier so one can have a quorum of JVMs before they are pressed into rotation and the list goes on...

SAN FRANCISCO - California counties can issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples beginning June 17, the state said in a directive issued today, the state Office of Vital Records said.
SAN FRANCISCO - California counties can issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples beginning June 17, the state said in a directive issued Wednesday.
The state Office of Vital Records said it chose June 17 because the state Supreme Court has until the close of business on June 16 to decide whether to grant a stay of its May 15 ruling legalizing gay marriage.
Gay rights advocates and some clerks initially thought couples would be able to wed as early as Saturday, June 14 - exactly 30 days after the court's ruling, when its decisions typically take effect.
But a group opposed to gay marriage has asked the court to stay its decision until after the November election, when voters are likely to face a ballot initiative that would once again define marriage as a union between a man and a woman. Passage of the initiative would overrule the Supreme Court.
Under the Supreme Court's regular rules of procedure, justices have until the end of the day on June 16 to rule on the stay request, according to the memo sent by e-mail to the state's 58 county clerks. Lawyers involved in the marriage case have said previously the court could grant itself an extra 60 days to consider the stay.
The guidelines from Mark Horton, director of the California Department of Public Health, also contained copies of new marriage forms that include lines for "Party A" and "Party B" instead of bridge and groom. The gender-neutral nomenclature was developed in consultation with county clerks, according to the letter.
"Effective June 17, 2008, only the enclosed new forms may be issued for the issuance of marriage licenses in California," the directive reads.

WORCESTER � As President Barack Obama prepared to speak at the Worcester Technical High School commencement Wednesday afternoon, about 100 protesters rallied in front of City Hall against the deportation of immigrants in this country illegally.
Immigrant students from several organizations attended the graduation-themed rally, some wearing caps and gowns, to remind President Obama that hundreds of thousands of students grow up and graduate without their immigrant fathers, mothers and other loved ones.
The protesters said they demand executive action from the president to end the suffering caused by deportation when families are ripped apart.
Many of those who spoke at the rally are in this country illegally or have family members who are here illegally.
Organizers said they knew the president's motorcade would not pass them as it made its way to the DCU Center where Mr. Obama was the keynote speaker at the 4 p.m. ceremony.
They were concerned the U.S. Secret Service would shut the protest down if they got too close to the DCU Center, they said.
Worcester Tech freshman Italo P. Fini, who is living in the country illegally, said all students at the school were invited to hear the president's speech, but he chose to attend the protest instead. He said several Worcester Tech students graduating were also undocumented, but were too scared to say anything.
"I want to send a message to the president," said the 15-year-old from Brazil. "I'm scared to death that my family will be deported every single day.
"We feel Obama has given up. He promised to pass comprehensive immigration reform in 2009, but with our Congress, that is not possible. He needs to use his executive power," Italo said.
Cairo M. Mendes, a 21-year-old immigrant who came to the United States in 2002 from Brazil and has been living here illegally, said he lives in fear every day that his mother will be deported.
"All we're asking is for the opportunity to not live in fear and have relief," he said.
Cambridge Lawyer Linda A. Jenkins said she attended the protest in opposition to Mr. Obama's immigration policies.
"The U.S. government has enacted global trade treaties that exploit labor and resources in other countries and drive citizens of those countries here," she said. "We need these people here if we are going to have these kinds of trade policies. Corporations are controlling everything and they are the ones driving climate change, immigration policies and mass incarcerations."

Teresa Heinz Kerry makes first public appearance since suffering seizure in July
WASHINGTON – Teresa Heinz Kerry, the wife of Secretary of State John Kerry, made her first public appearance since suffering a seizure in July.
Heinz Kerry was seated in the row behind her husband as he testified Tuesday at a Senate hearing on Syria. The secretary of state and the chairman of the committee, Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey, both commented on her presence.
The 74-year-old Heinz Kerry suffered a seizure at the couple's Nantucket home July 7. She was treated at a Nantucket hospital and another in Boston before being released three weeks later.
Heinz Kerry, an heir to the Heinz ketchup fortune, is the widow of former Sen. John Heinz, who was killed in a helicopter crash in 1991. She married Kerry, a former Massachusetts senator, in 1995.

"Innovation in Action" at Emmanuel College
In an ever-changing world, Emmanuel College provides an innovative academic environment that sustains the pace.
During her senior year, sociology major Jenny Konecnik '14 has held internships at the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office and the criminal bureau of the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office.
In high school, Jenny Konecnik '14 found herself torn between two potential career paths: one, to work for the FBI, and the other, to open her own bridal boutique. After arriving at Emmanuel, her dreams of dresses and veils yielded to the theoretical perspectives and empirical research as she declared a major in sociology with a concentration in crime and justice.
Her interest in criminology began at a young age, when she would watch documentaries on missing persons and homicides investigations.
"Sometimes, in the end, the cases would be left unsolved and I would be so frustrated," Konecnik said. "I would wonder, 'Why can't they solve this?' I needed to know."
When she came to Emmanuel, she took a variety of sociology courses, but it was during "Crimes Against Humanity," a class exploring large-scale crimes such as apartheid, human trafficking and torture, as well as the organizations that work to fight these atrocities, that she set her sights on crime and justice.
Konecnik first began to explore potential career opportunities in her hometown of Sparta, N.J., during the summer before her senior year. For two months, she interned at the Sparta Police Department, where she was able to observe many aspects of the department, including the detective bureau, dispatch, patrol and the gun range. The experience opened her eyes to the variety of opportunities in the field.
"I had always been dead-set on working in the FBI," she said. "So much so that I didn't even know other areas in the field existed."
Returning to Boston for the fall semester, Konecnik began a second internship with the Suffolk County Sheriff's Office, working under Major Paul DeFazio at the South Bay House of Corrections-a seven-building facility that houses adult male and female inmates convicted of crimes with a sentence of two and a half years or less.
During the first half of the internship, Konecnik shadowed employees in the classification department, which determines where inmates at the jail should be housed. For the second half, she utilized her information technology minor by heading a research project on the recidivism rate of the jail by analyzing BOPs.
"I loved working in a correctional office," she said. "I loved talking to the inmates and interviewing them about their backgrounds. I learned that each crime, each person, each situation, is so different.
"I couldn't have asked for a better internship."
This semester, Konecnik is exploring yet another avenue in her major, working as an intern in the Criminal Bureau under the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office. The Criminal Bureau investigates and prosecutes a wide range of criminal cases and violations of the public trust, including corruption, financial fraud, organized crime, major narcotic offenses, appellate issues, insurance and unemployment fraud, environmental crimes, internet and online crimes, and more. In this role, Konecnik assists lawyers by reading and summarizing cases and going through evidence.
"It's definitely not an internship where I'm standing at the copy machine all day," she said. "I'm really helping to move the process along."
With each new experience, Konecnik has grown more confident in her chosen trajectory, while her career choices have expanded far beyond the FBI.
"A few months ago, I was so sure I wanted to work in the prison system, but this internship might have changed my mind," she said. "I love everything I'm doing.
There are definitely worse problems to have!"
Emmanuel is a place where students broaden their sense of what's possible and prepare for inspiring careers in an ever-changing world. Be here.
