#DearMe: Advice to my younger self - Canadian MGTOW
Today's video is called, Hash tag. Dear Me. Advice to my younger self.
Good grief. HeforShe, Ban Bossy, Impact 10 by 10 by 10, Lean in, and now another new campaign called hash tag Dear Me. In this global initiative by You Tube, women as supposed to write a letter to their younger selves, (supposedly their high school selves), and preferably on You Tube. It's all leading up to International Women's Day. on March 8th. As one You-Tube commenter put it, " it is about women who should believe in themselves, who are having trouble in life, who have self-harmed, or been abused, or resorted to suicide, okay?" And here I thought all women were strong and independent, and that all women were GREAT mothers. As always, in this gynocentric society, just another day where men and boys issues are totally ignored. Yes, there is an International Men's day, but if you haven't heard of it, that is not surprising. There is literally no press coverage of it, and no UN sponsored campaigns. It takes place on November 19th.
Of course when I left a comment how hash tag Dear Me campaign was sexist, there was no shortage of commenters attacking me, but no one debating me. All of the 25 linked videos are all done by women, so I guess males need not apply. Same old feminist undercurrents of Rah Rah equality Rah Rah, but this day is all about women. The various Dear-Me videos I have seen so far, have as much depth as a fortune cookie. Be true to yourself. Be different. Don't be afraid to be yourself. Embrace the things that make you, you! Don't be in such a rush. Don't be perfect. "You are great. Continue to be great."
And my favorite,
You are gay! This will all become abundantly clear in college.
Then there is,
You are beautiful. You are good enough for someone to love you for who you are, regardless of your past.
Sounds like someone's younger self was riding the cock carousel. Pity.
Perhaps some of these people who have 'endured' so much should actually try and think about real hardship. So much of this feels like "First World Problems." From what I see, it just further perpetuates narcissism. Narcissistic personality disorder. Celebrated. Why? Nobody told their teenage selves to pick a book up and read it. And that reading it isn't enough, you have to question what you read. Much like you have to question initiatives by corporations.
Regardless, I have made this video, as a letter to my 14 year old self, as what I would want 'him' to know from my 46 year old future self. Yeah, this whole exercise seems weird, but here it goes, MGTOW style!
#Dear Me: Advice to my younger self - Canadian MGTOW.
Do NOT get married. In spite of the education system, you have critical thinking skills, so you won't take this advice at face value, so I will explain why.
Reason #1: Marriage is a SCAM for men. There is close to a 50% chance a marriage will end in divorce and you will lose half, or more, of your shit. Sometimes you'll hear
it's just money.
that's very easy to say – when it's NOT YOUR MONEY. That's your retirement and life we're talking about. And it's 1000 times worse when you have children, then you're paying for child support. Do yourself a favor and look up the Canadian Child Support Table. It is not simply an amount that covers food and clothing; it's an amount to keep children, and your ex, in a similar lifestyle level while you were married. Theirs may stay the same, but your quality of life will go down. When children are involved, the divorce is just a legal contract that keeps your ex-wife in your life, potentially for the next 20 years if you divorce when your kids are very young. Even after your kids are grown up, there will always be children's birthdays, weddings, and other events where you will see your ex, whether you want to, or not.
Reason #2: Marriage and dating is slavery, for men. Society and the government favor women for EVERYTHING in a marriage. If the man cheats on her he's scum, if the woman cheats on the man – well I guess he wasn't satisfying her, obviously. If a man hits a woman he's horrible, but if a woman hits a man the MAN is STILL at fault! I hate to break it to you, but society in general, hates men.
Reason #3: Freedom.
You are free. You can spend your money the way you want, go wherever you want, talk to whoever you want and just live. I always hear the word "compromise", but it seems that the man is the only one doing the compromising. I've gained so many skills by having the freedom and time to do it.
Reason #4: The "ME, ME, ME" mentality. Society and parents NEED to stop putting women on pedestals. The narcissism or just spoiled rotten attitude that SOME women have is insane. They're are women who literally expect a man to take care of her for his whole life. We need to understand that men can be victims and women can be the cause.
Reason #5: No respect. Pre 1950s a man getting married was fuelled by pride, but now the husband and father is portrayed as either a wimp or a clown, on TV, movies, and commercials. These are not harmless entertainment. Everyone, everywhere, has some agenda.
Reason #6: Remember all those spoiled girls that were 'Daddy's Girl'? Well, she is now used to it, and when you marry her, she will demand that of you.
Reason #7: Things that don't matter in teen life, will matter a lot in later life. You are well aware of reproductive rights, and abortion, but realize that as a man you have NO reproductive rights. The woman can have the child, abort it, or give it up. Your role should you become a father, by intention, or by accident, is to simply pay the bills.
Reason #8: You may still hold the belief that a divorce won't happen simply because you are a nice guy, and you won't let it get to that stage. I have news for you. You are just one half of the equation. Your future wife, like you, is an autonomous human being. Her needs, wants and views will change over time. She could be an atheist when you meet her, but 10 years later she could be inviting Jehovah Witnesses into your home, and openly agreeing on their stance on blood transfusions.
Reason #9: You cannot trust that the police or the courts will treat me impartially. The only justice you see is on TV.
Reason #10: Look at every marriage around you. Does it strike you as a series of burdens and obligations, or an easy friendship?
Reason #11: Romantic Love is the biggest lie, ever. It is all about money, looks and status. Anyone telling you otherwise, is trying to sell you something.
Reason #12: Ask yourself, what does the woman bring to the marriage other than her vagina? It is your job to impress her, provide for her, protect her, make her happy, restructure your life and relationships to please her, and often change yourself for her. What is she doing for you?
Reason #13: Savour your freedom to enjoy hobbies, late nights out and freedom from extra financial burdens. The only person that can own me, is me.
Reason #14: Minimal reward with too much to risk. This connects all of my previous reasons together. It's just not worth it. So my choices are spend an unfathomable amount of time and money to find the "right" woman, marry the woman, have a 50% chance of divorce, and risk losing everything. And on a side note, just because half of marriages end, does not mean that the couples that stay together are necessarily happy. A lot of men simply acquiesce to their wife's demands. When people joke that the key to a successful marriage is saying, "Yes, dear." it is so true. Also, there are many men who CAN'T get divorced due to staying for the children's sake, or parental, religious, societal and financial pressures. If you truly want to experience hell, try working at a job you hate, only to come home to an unhappy home-life.
Your future self.

I gave him extra kisses before I left, and put him back to bed. This was the first time I wasn't home when he woke up for the morning! I'm sure he was just as excited to see dad. He did have a lot of fun last night, maybe a little too much fun ;)
I checked out the set once I got there. Very cool, used to be an old theatre that has been transformed into the video studio.
Hair and makeup was next. Since I was the only woman in the video, I obviously had the most "work" to be done. The makeup artist did a pretty basic natural face- BB cream, neutral eyeshadow, brow pencil/gel, eyeliner, mascara. She set everything with a pressed powder and did a simple lip with neutral gloss. I really liked how she lined my eyes. I usually skip that step but it does help to open the eye and look more awake- which I certainly need help with these days!
For my outfit, I kept it simple with all black. Lululemon wunder under crops and scoop neck tank.
Once we were all ready, shooting started. It was tough at first to make sure we were all together, doing the right number of reps, and staying on the beat. I was in charge of counting down, and I'm pretty sure we had to do a few extra takes because I messed up the counts! Good thing they can edit.
The toughest part was re-shooting certain segments that were focused on one body part. The workout was pretty heavy on shoulders, so mid way through we were all getting pretty tired.
Today was really fun, and I can't wait to share information about where you can purchase the Zakti fitness DVD!

"Don't work too hard," wrote a colleague in an e-mail today. Was she sincere or sarcastic?"
According to recent research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, we have only a 50-50 chance of ascertaining the tone of any e-mail message.
The study also shows that people think they have correctly interpreted the tone of e-mails they receive 90 percent of the time.
The researchers took 30 pairs of undergraduate students and gave each one a list of 20 statements about topics like campus food or the weather. Assuming either a serious or sarcastic tone, one member of each pair e-mailed the statements to his or her partner. The partners then guessed the intended tone and indicated how confident they were in their answers.
Those who sent the messages predicted that nearly 80 percent of the time their partners would correctly interpret the tone. In fact the recipients got it right just over 50 percent of the time.
"People often think the tone or emotion in their messages is obvious because they 'hear' the tone they intend in their head as they write," Epley explains.
At the same time, those reading messages unconsciously interpret them based on their current mood, stereotypes and expectations. Despite this, the research subjects thought they accurately interpreted the messages nine out of 10 times.
"That's how flame wars get started," says psychologist Nicholas Epley of the University of Chicago, who conducted the research with Justin Kruger of New York University.
"People in our study were convinced they've accurately understood the tone of an e-mail message when in fact their odds are no better than chance," says Epley".
Further,"The reason for this is egocentrism, or the difficulty some people have detaching themselves from their own perspective, says Epley.
In other words, people aren't that good at imagining how a message might be understood from another person's perspective. So, e-mail is very easy to misinterpret, which not only triggers flame wars but lots of litigation.
Note: Tone in a e-mail is the quality in your writing that reveals your attitude toward your topic and reader. Tone comes from your choice of words, the structure of your sentences, and the order of the information you present.

Hattip to commenter RL for alerting me to this. Father Z directs us to Chiesa for some information about the confusion surrounding the release of Towards Reforming the International Financial & Monetary Systems in the Context of Global Public Authority:
Over at Chiesa, there is a piece about the new, confused "white paper", as I prefer to call it, from the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.
Too Much Confusion. Bertone Puts the Curia Under Lock and Key
The document of "Iustitia et Pax" on the global financial crisis is blasted with criticism. The secretary of state disowns it. "L'Osservatore Romano" tears it to shreds. From now on, any new Vatican text will have to be authorized in advance by the cardinal [Imagine! The left hand knowing what the left hand is doing!]
by Sandro Magister
ROME, November 10, 2011 – Precisely when the G20 summit in Cannes was coming to its weak and uncertain conclusion, on that same Friday, November 4 at the Vatican, a smaller summit convened in the secretariat of state was doing damage control on the latest of many moments of confusion in the Roman curia. [You would think they'd be getting good at damage control.]
In the hot seat was the document on the global financial crisis released ten days earlier by the pontifical council for justice and peace. A document that had disturbed many, inside and outside of the Vatican.
The secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, complained that he had not known about it until the last moment. And precisely for this reason he had called that meeting in the secretariat of state. [But… wait. That means he saw it before it was released. Or did I get that wrong?]
The conclusion of the summit was that this binding order would be transmitted to all of the offices of the curia: from that point on, nothing in writing would be released unless it had been inspected and authorized by the secretariat of state. [Interesting in principle, I suppose. But the Secretariat of State is already the über-dicastery of all dicasteries. Perhaps the Suprema, the CDF ought to be involved.]
Go here to read the rest. Go here to Chiesa to read the article by Sandro Magister. Some critics of the paper have called it Marxist. I think that criticism is off base, but after reading the Magister article I have revised my opinion. It was Marxist, but rather Groucho, Chico and Harpo, not Karl.


text: Say what you will about pop radio, you nostalgists and prognosticators of musical doom. I will laugh and scoff with you, because there is, as there always has been, portents of conformity in the monochrome sameness of the popular. But your arguments against are blind to the tail-chasing beast: it's as often in pop as not that the true revolutions happen, where the work is done, before in creeps mimicry and gold diggery. In the case of Hozier, the revolution is subversion by honoring the blues and soul music his native Ireland so loves. In 2014 into 2015 he produced a bona fide pop radio hit in "Take Me To Church," which got played on all the I Heart Radio stations in the U.S. In true pop radio fashion it was catchy, easy on the ears, anthem-y. But unusual too — it wasn't hard to hear beneath the compressed radio waves a rock band sweating it out behind a gifted singer, songwriter, and guitarist. It almost seemed like it was a mistake, because how long has it been since you heard an actual band pumping out the rock on a pop station? The song was from Hozier's full length, self-titled debut, which, while not a perfect record, isn't far from it. With lyrics that investigate sexuality, religion, and drugs without robbing any of them of their dark poetry, the album maintains a soulful bounce that only occasionally loses its chug. Them-period Van Morrison would be proud. "To Be Alone," which Hozier put together, or so I understand because the internet on this point mostly fails me, as a tribute to Junior Kimbrough (who gets a writing credit), does not bear the stamp of Kimbrough's rough electric blues — although perhaps captures the feel — suggesting instead Peter Green during his brief time as the leader of Fleetwood Mac, it's lead riff echoing the B riff of Green's"Oh Well." The production, too, has that dank, rainy reverb that Green loved, and deals in the dark depths of green manalishis and black magic women. Knowing nothing of the man but his music, I can say that he's gotten at least that bit right, and while it would be a stretch to say his is the future of pop music, that he found his way into pop's armored compound is a righteous thing.

There will be about 30 local vendors (a number of Etsy sellers) participating in the Holiday Market. For the next few weeks, I'll be working on new inventory for the show. I'm thinking more paintings on cedar wood slices and rocks. And I'm hoping to have a 2013 calendar ready by then.
If you're in the Portland area at the end of this month, please stop by and say hello. The Holiday Market is a great way to shop for handmade gifts and support a local school. Twenty-five percent of all sales goes back to the arts program at Capitol Hill- yay for art in schools! With the proceeds, we are hoping to update the kiln and stock classrooms with art materials.

Guest poem submitted by Mukund Rangamani:
(Poem #458) The Chariot
Because I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves And Immortality. We slowly drove, he knew no haste, And I had put away My labor, and my leisure too, For his civility. We passed the school where children played, Their lessons scarcely done; We passed the fields of gazing grain, We passed the setting sun. We paused before a house that seemed A swelling of the ground; The roof was scarcely visible. The cornice but a mound. Since then 'tis centuries; but each Feels shorter than the day I first surmised the horses' heads Were toward eternity.
This is one of the few poems which has imho done justice to the concept of Death. The poem itself is pretty simple, but the imagery conjured is quite nice. I especially like the rather abrupt way in which the poem begins, rather beautifully capturing the phase transition which seperates death from life. The rest deals with the passage of time after death in a manner that seems to immortalise the theme. Mukund.

Nineteen sixty six
Nineteen sixty six: a late November afternoon. And suddenly the calm burst of light that envelops everything. What air was that air behind the persistent and heavy midday; taking its time and light, made of crystal, like a bird that stops flying when we breathe. The perfection of the sky: that still intimate and final splendor of the city that was about to be given to us. In the garden: the mahogany tree still not too slender, the acacias and the dance of the green and red. And you're reading in a corner beside a large window. And you lift your eyes not as if looking to see the afternoon: as if returning from the long memory of having already seen it.
La vastedad (1988)

IDP-100 is Sony Ericsson's First Digital Photo Frame
We've reported on several digital photo frames in the past, but this is the first time we covered one made by Sony Ericsson. This is only because the IDP-100 digital photo frame is the first one from the famed telecommunications company.
The user can download all their images to the IDP-100 via Bluetooth, USB flash memory, as well as memory cards like M2 card, micro SD, SD or MS Duo. This seven inch frame can display your photos in a landscape are portrait format with a very high image quality.
The IDP-100 can display up to 500 still images in a variety of options. The whole thing has a touchscreen interface that is very similar to the menu screens of most Portable Media Players.
In addition to displaying your images, it can also improve upon them. The Digital Image Correction (DIC) program includes adjusting images for color correction, tone enhancement, and even edge enhancement. The IDP-100 also has an auto-flip quality, so you don't have to reformat the vertical pictures for the frame.
Sony Ericsson that the IDP-100 will work perfectly with the C905 Cyber-shot phone which has an 8.1 megapixel camera. There is no information about how much the frame will cost, but it should be out in the fourth quarter of 2008.

Trasc McCallen, owner of Bama Breeze, enjoys listening to Don Galaga live on his entertainment island, Gilligan's Lost Lagoon. A nice crowd showed up on his cozy beach - his old friends and new ones too. Don, usually in country duds, was a bit tropic on this night. Don played a mix of country and pop ballads, and of course JIMMY BUFFET tunes. Don Galaga is an incredible singer, smooth and natural. Bama Breeze pays homage to Jimmy and his lifestyle. Don will be playing at least twice a month at the Breeze. Come casual.
By the end of the night, I got a little causual too. It's addictive! Bama Breeze, enjoy the sands and the good company - and of course Jimmy Buffet music and atmosphere. Look for the rest of the story in the October 2010 Best of SL Magazine.

Q:What was the reason for trying to create a regional transportation authority for Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties?
A: That's simple. It was to grab control of the traffic mess in Central Florida, which has dozens of transportation agencies running off in different directions with no coordination. The point was to have a single agency that could plan, finance, build and operate major road, rail and bus systems in the three-county area.

Leslee Dennis discovered her highly developed eye for talent from the famous and highly esteemed acting teacher Lee Strasberg. As a student in his directing classes, she was able to hone her natural ability in gaining the trust of the actor thus raising the actor's performance level. This experience led her to become a directing member of the west coast branch of the prestigious Ensemble Studio Theatre. Leslee's passion and respect for the craft of acting and understanding the importance of putting the right actor in the right role made becoming a casting director a natural segue for her. She knew that casting is "half the battle" for the director. By finding the best actor to fit the role, a good casting director makes the director's job much easier. She began a career that would span over twenty-five years, helping to launch the careers of Tobey Maguire, Poppy Montgomery, Jeremy Piven and many others. Her casting experience includes shows on every major network from CBS to FOX, THE WB and SHOWTIME, numerous pilots, series, and Academy Award-winning indie films.
Leslee has always been known as an actor-friendly casting director whose specific direction in pre-reads not only got actors called back but got them the job as well.
While on a hiatus from casting, she decided to do something that had become another passion of hers: Teaching. During pilot season, she taught an acting class with the emphasis on auditioning, immediately filling two classes, leaving her students so satisfied with their progress that they wanted more. As a result, with her classes being in high demand, Leslee now teaches full time.
Leslee's gift is the laser vision she uses in helping the actor identify the problems that get in the way of being true to their character and situation. Helping her students work through these issues to achieve a real connection to their characters has led them to refer to her as, "Dr. D" – The Audition Doctor.
Her genuine concern for her students has been a very rewarding experience for everyone. Leslee's primary goal is to create a safe place for her students to explore all the emotional levels necessary to the acting process. With this in mind, she continually finds more in-depth and creative ways to teach her students, providing them with the necessary tools to thrive.

Time for my October Foodie Penpal reveal!
This month's Foodie Penpals was such an adventure! I was paired up with the magnificent Miss Chelsie from Balance Not Scale. You'll never believe our luck! After contacting me and discovering that we both live in Ottawa (literally about 10 minutes away from each other), Chelsie suggested that we meet up.
Flash forward two weeks, Chelsie and I met at a local café where we sat and

i wonder how many hours it would take playing videos with such battery..
i'm preety sure that panasonic haven't mistaken when saying-12 days! Fact is they have excellent batteries and all others are far away from that matter! Worst thing ever having cell on charger every 12-24h! They're making batteries 25 years or more! Like that's not enough? You go panasonic!
Welcome back panasonic. And for all those negative comments, keep'em to yourself's. Great to see panasonic bringing smartphone devices.
Panasonic can rival the best of them all.
this phone will be a massive fail. 4.3" qHD AMOLED with only 1150mAH? every company will never say anything bad about it's product, of course they will say this has excellent battery.
It's good to see Panasonic get back into the mix. They look to be wanting to bite into Sony's market aim of excellent upscale design with a little something extra, but not trying to be kings of the hardware race. Kudos. There's enough flimsy black slabs around.
I'm working in company which has history in making various mobile phones & accessories product for customer such as Nokia, Sony ericsson (major), Siemens, BenQ, Motorola and latest is this Panasonic- Eluga.
The manufacturing process is way difficult compared to others. And quality requirement is very high. From tooling, injection, painting, printing and etc... This phone built is very good. For painting itself takes 6 layers coating to finish with astonishing high gloss finish.
Some more interesting, some colours variants are printed with Disney Mickey Mouse logo. Pretty cute when you look at it. This phone has 6 variants of colours and all looks cool..
Tizen Takeover, 14 Apr 2012Eluga? More like BEluga.It stands for: ELegance, User friendliness and... eleGAnce ?!
You mean, "There doesn't seem to be other UK retailers that carry it at the moment..."
the battery is really bad...especially for android devices and i personally don't think the screen is that big for its dimensions..take HTC for example and how little bezel they have
Panasonic save yourself some money and don't launch this phone. The battery is killing it. You wont get half a days use out of it.
This phone is annoying!
feels kinda wrong that the bottom screen is so much space.
Does not feel solid and the camera is crap.
camera is poor like htc DHD at its time.
Battery is a joke! poor phone but it more like Mp3 player and to watch movies, not that verstile...
it's available for pre-order on expansys france.
it costs 424,99

Sometimes when we are in a hurry in life we tend to "cut corners", as I did last year in August. When people are in a hurry we don't think about what we are doing too much, just as long as it gets done on time! I am, as well as all of us, guilty of "cutting corners" in life in order to get deeds done.
As I started my senior year in high school, I was also taking the challenging course of Physics A.P. My teacher told the whole class that we would need a textbook not supplied by the school. So, I would have to go out and get it, and there was only one place in the whole town, Davis-Kidd Bookstore, that had it in stock.
After school, I decided to go and get my textbook. As I left my house, I already knew I would have some trouble finding this bookstore.
As I got downtown, I realized that it was rush hour on a sizzling day. A drop of sweat trickled off my nose into my mouth. Yuck! Traffic was at a turtle's crawl as I made my way around the block. As I was driving, I was looking for the sign for Davis-Kidd. However, all I saw were fast food joints like McDonald's and Taco Bell. As I drove around the block again, thinking I had missed the sign. I saw the McDonald's and Taco Bell again. I had been driving in a circle! I drove around looking for Davis-Kidd Bookstore for about 30 minutes until I gave up and decided it was time to stop and ask for help. So I pulled into a gas station. "Excuse me, do you know where the Davis Kidd bookstore is?" "Yes sir, it...

We asked a few girls what the purpose of dating was and most had a healthy perspective, saying such things as:
- "to determine eligibility for marriage,...and to build the relationship on which marriage stands. To get to know a fella!"
- "A relationship where you can serve and glorify God together in a romantic way."
- "To get to know someone further that you feel has the potential to be your future spouse."
The difficulty comes in translating these ideals into real-life situations. When we think of a man who will be suitable for marriage, we can tend to create these long lists of expectations in our minds.
"My guy will be 6 and a half feet tall..."
"My hubby will have great wavy hair..."
"My boy will drive a corvette..."
"My man will be as funny as Steve Martin in Father of the Bride..."
And though this may seem a bit exaggerated, we have known girls (ahem, ourselves included!) whose lists contain very specific requirements. And while this may be a good tool in the struggle towards discovering what a healthy relationship could eventually look like, it might be somewhat limiting as we can tend to measure a man against our list to see if he has potential.
As I (Becca) was talking to my mother yesterday, she told me that perhaps when I woke up from my nap my prince would be standing there waiting for me, and as much as I wish my mother was a prophetess, the likelihood of that happening is very slim. Where can we go to find a man who will fit the bill set out by these standards? Better yet, should we even have these standards at all?
We are not here to knock down the idea of making a list of what you would like in a man. Indeed, this gives you a better picture of the kind of man that eventually might become your spouse. However, do not be afraid to amend the list. Instead of thinking of the list as a measuring stick, look at it as a guide to help identify potential. So what is he doesn't meet all 63 items on the list? Or what if he does have every quality on your list, then what?
What matters is this: do you feel God's calling on this relationship?
If not, then do not be afraid to say no. We know a girl who said yes to a boy because he met her list of standards, but the relationship still fell apart. What do you say to her? In Christian community, there's this misconception that just because both people involved in a relationship are Christian, it must mean it will work out. But there is something so empowering and edifying about being able to assert yourself in saying no when you are certain that it is not what God is calling you to.
So make lists of qualities you'd like in a man (and no, "six pack" doesn't count as a legitimate quality!), but be prepared to change them, add to them, or remove items from the list. At the end of the day, make sure you are giving over these hopes to the Lord, for He is sovereign above our desires and knows how (and if) they will be fulfilled.
Becca and Kelley
P.S. - "It's like the word 'single' means 'find someone.' "
Once more, a shout out to the girls who bravely voiced their opinions for us. :)

Cool Kitchen Ideas – Coolest DIY Storage Tips of the Year
I think none of us denies the fact that order in the kitchen is very important. That is why we consider it a top priority responsibility. How about already having a good management for your kitchen stuff in addition to hygienic and shiny kitchen together? Sadly, some homeowners do not have spacious kitchen to store all kitchen stuff. The following DIY ideas will guide you through reusing some of your old items, which you are not using anymore and creating some new ones. You will be able to keep your kitchen organized, clean and make the best use of the free space in it.
Plate Organizer. Seeking a way to display your wonderful plates and at the same time save some space in your kitchen cabinets? Plate organizer is a smart tool, which can be placed in a high place in your kitchen by putting a plate rack under. You can create one on your own for storage purposes by using dish rack rails and dowels. This storage style is very cool due to its ability to fit your plates perfectly.
Spice Rack. It is some sort of cabinets, which you can stuff it with variety of herbs and spices that cannot be arranged easily. By using sturdy plywood, you can either design a spice rack and hang it on the wall in an empty spot or design a rack on your own, which you can place it on the back of the cabinet door to keep your spices and herbs on a fixed and organized display.
Panel Cookware Organizer. In order to set up more efficient space for storage in your kitchen, you should get rid of the current shelves of your kitchen cabinet and renovate your cupboard from the inside. You will be able to put your baking trays and some slim items smoothly and directly in your cabinet by attaching a plywood panel to one cupboard side. Cutting down the current shelf will make the organizer fit in with the space left, in addition to placing appliances.
Pot Rack. What if you have no ceiling space for one of the old-fashioned huge pot racks to install on the kitchen island? You can simply use a curtain rail and small hooks which will enable you to reach all your cooking needs easily for more productive and effective cooking space.

Communication is important, no doubt about it. But, it is also more difficult than it sounds. Often times when we open our inbox and see emails from people asking for advice we feel like most of them just need to communicate better (example: getting your partner on board with domestic discipline = communicate your desire to do domestic discipline, what it is, what you like about it, how it would help you) but how to communicate all of that is a different story. And, communicating as a submissive partner can be even more tricky. Now, I'm not saying HOH's have it easy (don't get me wrong, or misunderstand, because I definitely think being an HOH is a hard job) but communicating as an HOH is different than communicating as a submissive partner. Communicating a punishment to your submissive partner, the "terms" of a grounding (for example) – that's very black and white. Communicating as a submissive partner is a whole different story.
The number one most important rule of communication as a submissive partner is to not be afraid to do so. Don't be afraid to tell your HOH what you think, how you feel, and what's going through your mind. Those are not only things he needs to, and deserves to know, but things that can be helpful in ensuring open lines of communication and minimizing problems down the road. I've talked to many submissive partners who seem hesitant to communicate things to their HOH for one reason or another. If you're struggling to talk to your HOH I would recommend the following tips:
- Identify why communication is a struggle. Like everything with domestic discipline, in order to change a behavior or a mindset you must first identify why it is occurring. The same is true for communication. Pinpoint what it is about communicating that is difficult.
- Write instead of talk. There are many submissive partners who choose to write their HOH a letter, a quick note, an email, even a text instead of face-to-face communication. While this isn't always an ideal option, some find it easier to communicate this way.
- Don't set expectations. If you're planning to have a conversation with your HOH about a decision he made that you disagree with, for example, setting expectations ahead of time that he will change his mind has the potential to make the problem worse instead of better. Expectations in domestic discipline cause a lot of problems, in fact. If things don't go the way you expect, it then causes a let down as well as the original dilemma or problem not being solved. So, we recommend not setting recommendations before approaching a serious conversation with your HOH and to get to a point where you're okay (even if not happy) with whatever the outcome is.
I like to call the art of communication as a submissive partners as the "4 R's Method". The 4 R's are:
- Respect. Similar to how important communication is in a relationship, respect is equally as important. Make sure that your communication is done respectfully, even if you are upset. Yes, there is a way that you can still get your point across, and your emotions across, without being disrespectful..you just have to master it. While that may be easier said than done, it's important to keep in the back of your mind that the respect you want your HOH to show you is the same respect you need to show him. Backtalking, rolling your eyes, walking away from a discussion, or overall having a bad attitude are all things that can make communication extra difficult, as well as disrespectful to your HOH. If this is something you struggle with, I recommend taking a minute to count to 10 (or some other number that works for you) and to gather your thoughts before responding. Responding without thinking will likely make the disrespect worse.
- Rationale. Having a rationale behind what you're thinking, feeling, or wanting to discuss will help the conversation to go smoother and will help your HOH to better understand your point of view. Having your HOH fully understand what you're asking about, or why you're feeling the way that you do is crucial for any change to happen.
- Reciprocate. You want your HOH to listen to what you have to say, and consider your thoughts and feelings, right? Make sure to reciprocate those actions to your HOH. Give him plenty of time to talk, share how he feels, and communicate with you as well. Remember that communication is a two way street.
- Real and raw. Although it's important to express communication in a respectful way, it's also important to express your thoughts and feelings in a real, open and honest way. Your HOH needs to know how you feel, what you're thinking, what you want, what you need, and so on. Don't sugarcoat anything, as it could lead to your HOH not fully understanding what you're communicating. Be open and raw about what is going on.
Communicating as a submissive partner can be difficult, no doubt. Finding balance between being respectful and being real with your HOH is something that many submissive partners struggle with, and that's normal. Just remember that communicating with your HOH should be a "safe zone" free of punishment threats, or free of the fear of breaking a rule. Although HOH's reserve the right to punish for things that may be confessed during a discussion that doesn't mean that communicating should be something submissive partners fear, or struggle with. With a little practice, and remembering the 4 "R's" it should get easier over time.
We hope this helps.

Barents Island
Also found in: Wikipedia.
Barents Island
an island in the eastern part of the Spitsbergen Archipelago in Norway. The island was formed by Mesozoic limestone and shale lying horizontally over folded and heavily metamorphosed rocks of the Paleozoic era. In the western part the sedimentary cover is broken through with basalt. The island's elevation rises to 610 m. The central part is covered by a glacial cap from which the Duckwitz, Freeman and other glaciers flow down the valleys. The vegetation is arctic tundra. The island was named in honor of the Dutch navigator W. Barents.

Getting the CRM url for Silverlight based on the browser
There can often be problems with using this address, for instance in development environments or similar, as the address returned might not be the address used in Internet Explorer. When this happens, Internet Explorer will block the connection to the REST endpoint since it does not connect to the same URL as the webpage that hosts the Silverlight application.
During the latest course I held for some CRM consultants at Evry, we discussed this and one of the attendees, Klas Adolfsson at Evry, was very quick and wrote an alternative to the getServerUrl()-method that bases the url on the hosting browser url instead of the url context variable from CRM.
HtmlPage.Document.DocumentUri.Scheme + "://" + HtmlPage.Document.DocumentUri.Host + "/" + App.Current.Host.InitParams["orgname"];
Edit: There are some relevant comments to this posting below, please read these if this posting is of interest to you.

This approach is good enough but it has issue - it would not work using the same code for different types of deployments - in case it will work for CRM On-premices (when OrgName in url after host) - it would not work for OnLine and IFD deployments when OrgName is the part of hostname.ReplyDelete
A very valid commment Andrii, you are right of course. This is usually only an issue in OnPremise deployments as both Online and IFD have set hostnames that have to be used, as SSL and HTTPS is most often used.ReplyDelete
To create a dynamic solution that takes this into consideration I do believe that you would have to try to sense which implementation type you are running and then use the CRM getServerUrl() based one for Online and IFD and the above one for OnPremise.
The fact you are mentioning could actually be used as a method to figure out if the system is running in OnPremise or not, as the hostname would contain the orgname in a IFD or Online but not in an OnPremise. If anyone has a simple solution, please share! I checked the Xrm.page.context but found no matching methods there.

WELLINGTON, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Luke Whitelock has emulated older brothers Sam and George by becoming an All Black after the Canterbury loose forward was selected on Sunday for New Zealand's northern hemisphere tour in November.
Winger Frank Halai, prop Joe Moody and lock Dominic Bird have also been named in the side after having extended training squad roles with the team this year.
Uncapped scrumhalf TJ Perenara and lock Luke Romano have also returned to the squad after they were both ruled out earlier this year with injuries.
Wellington loose forward Ardie Savea, the younger brother of winger Julian, has been included as an 'apprentice' player for the tour to get a taste of the All Blacks environment, coach Steve Hansen said.
"We are continuing the scheme we started with the younger hookers who came into camp earlier this year, and, like them, the aim of the initiative is to give him exposure to all aspects of the All Blacks environment," Hansen said in a statement.
The All Blacks have already said they will split the squad for the first week to give younger players an opportunity to prove their worth in the buildup to their first non-World Cup test against Japan on Nov. 2.
Nine senior players, expected to include captain Richie McCaw and injured flyhalf Daniel Carter, will fly directly to Paris to prepare for the match against France on Nov. 9 with the rest of the squad joining them after the Tokyo clash.
"The aim of the tour is to further develop our game structures, our skills sets and our individual players," Hansen said.
"We will be looking to use the tour to take ourselves beyond where we are at the moment."
After going through their test season unbeaten so far, the third match on the schedule against England will hold special significance for Hansen and the team.
Last December, a fired-up England side destroyed the All Blacks 38-21 in their final match of the season at Twickenham.
Hansen said the defeat, while leaving a bitter taste in ther mouths, would only serve as motivation for the world champions, who are now on another 10-match winning streak.
The final game of the tour is against Ireland in Dublin on Nov. 16. New Zealand will then host England next June in a three-match series.
New Zealand squad:
Forwards - Dane Coles, Andrew Hore, Keven Mealamu, Wyatt Crockett, Charlie Faumuina, Owen Franks, Ben Franks, Joe Moody, Tony Woodcock, Brodie Retallick, Jeremy Thrush, Dominic Bird, Luke Romano, Sam Whitelock, Sam Cane, Steven Luatua, Richie McCaw (captain), Liam Messam, Kieran Read, Luke Whitelock
Backs - Tawera Kerr-Barlow, Aaron Smith, TJ Perenara, Beauden Barrett, Aaron Cruden, Dan Carter, Tom Taylor, Ma'a Nonu, Ryan Crotty, Francis Saili, Israel Dagg, Frank Halai, Cory Jane, Charles Piutau, Julian Savea, Ben Smith.

I own an Audio Research Ref CD7 and it has no trouble playing CD-Rs. I also have a CAL Delta transport that plays my CD-Rs. My old Theda Jade played CD-Rs. I would think that almost all CD players and transports made in the last 10 years play CD-Rs. I think that your NAD not playing CD-Rs is a bit unusual. My CAL transport has to be 15 years old.
How are you burning your CD-Rs, is you program burning them to be red book compatible? I use EAC and in the past have used Feurio!. I have not had a problem with CD-Rs burned by either program.

|Striker Concepts creates a bold new innovation in flashlights with the B.A.M.F.F. Tactical Series. The B.A.M.F.F.'s are a series of Dual CREE LED Tactical Flashlights. B.A.M.F.F., aka "Broad Array Multi Flood Flashlight" (among other creative acronyms), combines a powerful spot light for long distance visibility, with a wide angle flood light for close range area lighting. These two LEDs can be used simultaneously or independently to provide you with more useful light and increase your overall visibility.
A few flashlights offer flood and spotlight options, but they accomplish the two light options by using a zoom lens, making the user pick between flood or spot. The B.A.M.F.F. series offers the user the option to flood the immediate area, and cast a blinding spotlight into the distance, at the same time. This dual LED combination illuminates the users' peripheral vision as well as their focal point. Users can now see far down the hiking trail, while also lighting up the area around their feet and both sides of the path.
The B.A.M.F.F. can be used for a wide array of activities including camping, hunting, hiking, police, military, repair, and daily carry. It will open your eyes to a whole new way of seeing at night. The B.A.M.F.F. eliminates the tunnel vision you get with a traditional flashlight and allows you to utilize your peripheral vision. The broader range of light greatly increases your field of view by illuminating objects, or even dangerous situations, that otherwise would have been left in the shadows.
The B.A.M.F.F. series is available in 3 models; the 4.0, 6.0 and 8.0. All models feature the dual CREE LED head, aircraft grade aluminum body, waterproof construction, removable belt clip, S.O.S. and disorienting strobe modes, and tactical style bludgeon tip for self-defense. The 4.0 is the entry level lumen flashlight that touts a respectable 400 lumens, and is powered by 3 "AAA" batteries. If more power and runtime is desired, then look no further than the 6.0 and the 8.0. Both of these options come well equipped with an 18650 rechargeable Lithium Ion battery and USB charging kit. Also, as a unique emergency feature, both the 6.0 and 8.0 come with a "AAA" battery cartridge for those times when you can't charge your rechargeable 18650 battery, thus ensuring you are never left in the dark. The 6.0 comes with a 2000mAh rechargeable battery and pierces the night sky with 600 lumens. The 8.0 features a large capacity 2600 mAh rechargeable battery and emits a blinding 800 lumens! The choice is yours. All three flashlights provide optimum field of view for any situation. Just don't get left out in the dark!

Dentistry Without the Fear
A more comfortable experience.
Nervous about going to the dental office? Well, you can relax! Do you feel stressed simply from the thought of going to the dentist? Has anxiety actually stopped you from going to your teeth cleaning or some other preventive dental care?
"The dentist" is listed in the most common phobias in the USA. You're not alone. Did you know almost 50 percent of people start to feel uncomfortable or worried whenever thinking about going to the dentist or getting some type of procedure done?
All of our staff has many years of experience in taking good care of the specific needs and worries of our more anxious friends.
In the event that all you want us to do is merely sit down and talk about any fears you might have in the course of a scheduled visit, we will be happy to do that – you being comfortable throughout the visit is a top priority.
Listed here are some of the most well-known dental fears:
Fear of embarrassment about the current condition of their teeth
Fear of gagging
Fear of injections
Fear of loss of control
Fear of Novocain not doing the job as intended
Fear of being in pain
Fear of the dentist as a person
Fear of the hand device (or perhaps the drill)
Fear of the unknown
Fear of dental sounds and smells
The latest technological developments have meant that in some cases, dentists have the ability to take away noisy drills and offer fast and reliable treatment. Additionally, there are a wide variety of safe anesthetics offered to get rid of pain and decrease anxiety during regular appointments. Our office has also been uniquely designed to set you at ease by taking away the majority of the items, sounds and smells of a normal dentist office you may associate with your prior dental appointments.
Comfort Treatment Options
The Dentistry NW team have effective sedation capabilities. We can provide many levels of comfort.
• Topical & Local Anesthesia
We begin with a topical solution that 'pre-numbs' the injection area. Then the local anesthesia is used to completely numb the area being treated. This temporarily blocks feeling to the nerve and should last one to two hours or longer.
• Nitrous Oxide Gas
Nitrous oxide gas (laughing gas) is especially useful for scared patients. The calming effects are usually miraculous. A patient that was anxious getting ready for treatment is breathing calmly and visibly relaxing.
• Conscious Sedation
Oral conscious sedation dentistry is now the most common technique used in the North America to relieve dental patient fears. The technique is easy and requires no needles. Best of all, the medications create such a comfortable experience that most patients do not remember the visit; it is as if they slept through the treatment. In reality, oral sedation dentistry enables you to be kept awake throughout the entire procedure, but you likely won't remember much about your treatment.
Below are great tips in lessening dental fear and anxiety:
• Talk with Dr. Karl Smith – Though it can be challenging to talk about illogical fears with a stranger, Dr. Karl Smith could take additional steps during visits if worries and stress are conveyed. This way, together, we might identify any specific issues or fears and work at conquering these types of problems.
• Bring a portable music player – Music acts as a relaxant as well as drowns out any fear-producing sounds. Enjoying your favorite comforting music through this appointment will help to decrease anxiety.
• Decide on a sign – Quite a few people are afraid that the dentist will not know they may be in substantial pain during the appointment, but will carry on the procedure no matter what. The easiest way to solve this problem is to decide on a "stop" hand sign together with the dentist. Each party can easily comprehend indicators like raising the hand or tapping on the chair.
• Spray the throat – Throat sprays (for instance, Vicks® Chloraseptic® Throat Spray) can actually control the gag reflex. Two or three sprays will often keep the reflex under control for around an hour.
• Take a mirror with you – Not being able to see what is happening can increase anxiety and make your thoughts run wild. Observing the procedure can help keep reality at the front of your mind.
• Sedation – Choosing a comfortable level of sedation provides an excellent alternative for many.
• Talk to us about the treatment – Make sure you let us know the depth and extent of treatment plan explanations you need.
• Go over all of the choices with Dr. Karl Smith and select one that is most effective and creates minimal anxiety.
Virtually Painless Procedures
With today's dental lasers Dentistry NW can perform procedures that are practically if not totally painless. Treatment with lasers does not require incisions or stitches and greatly reduces healing time.
Fear Can Be Defeated
Within an open and caring setting, patients can be offered dental care realizing they aren't being judged or simply looked down upon because of their anxiety about dental treatment. We make every effort to do well at the technical aspects of dentistry but equally as essential we make an effort to attend to the person's emotional requirements. If you have any concerns or questions about how Dentistry NW can help you overcome fear and anxiety, please contact our office.
I love dentistry NW. They are a caring group of people. I have been going here for over 30 years. Joni is awesome and the rest of the staff is good too.
Dentistry Northwest is hands-down the best dental care I have had in my entire life. Not only are they professional, they are friendly and I feel like family there. Everybody is just fabulous and they take the best care of my family.
One of the things that I appreciate the most is the sense of collaboration in my dental care. My hygienist always has information for me and often times something actually printed for me to take. Dr. Smith is just a character and I enjoy visiting with him if nothing else!
I am older and have had questionable things done to my teeth over the years. Dr. Smith and his staff have brought much of this up-to-date and keep my mouth, teeth and gums as healthy as possible. They are simply the best
I have enjoyed my experience with this dental office for 30 years. As the practice has changed hands, the staff, dentists, and office has remained at an exemplary standard. They hire the best, and perform top tier at industry standards. I enjoy their positive, upbeat style of making the client feel welcomed and relaxed. They always go the extra mile. I enjoy my experience always.

If you've never heard of Fecal Face before, it's not what you're probably thinking it is. Although some of the work they feature might be a tad NSFW, there's certainly nothing ahem crappy about the gallery. As Hi-Fructose Magazine's Online Media Manager, Ken Harman explains, they're making moves, and not just in the art world:
The art world, by nature, is one of constant change and evolution. Much as an artist's body of work grows, expands and gets better (hopefully!), so to does the art scene, in fact, it's a bit of symbiotic relationship. After three years of progressive art shows, Fecal Face Dot Gallery, the brick and mortar location for Fecalface.com is moving on up.
In transition as we speak, FFDG has found a new haunt, that of the former location of the other SF mainstay, the old Upper Playground gallery, Fifty24SF. Now situated at Haight and Fillmore in the dynamic Lower Haight neighborhood, FFDG will be continuing their programming (including the upcoming Josh Keyes show which we're very excited to see) in a larger and better situated location. With this move, we hope to see the gallery, website and SF art scene in general grow in stride.

MIA's "Paper Planes" is already a dope song (in more ways than one) and it just got more dope. UFO314 went and made a mashup video replacing elements of the song with Borderlands 2 and it's pretty incredible! It's not perfect, as you know, no one photoshopped fat blunts into every character's mouth, but it'll do.

Lack of management will only make us easily loose out in this business and we will never going to like how easy it will be for us to loose out in our investment in no time.
Even when you believe that you possess the ability to make money as you want and you lacked good money management then you are definitely going to lose at the longer run! So if you really want to start earning money then you should always make sure that you have enough means of controlling your risks.Every trader have to accept that to prosper in forex requires great money management that will help us in forex and give us the ability to make good trading that we need.
Wisdom Is The Ability To Apply Knowledge And Experience To Any Given Situation.
If you do not take control of your risks then you lose control of your trades
My Trading Journal: Scalping with price actions on smaller time trames
I don't believe that anyone should believe that money management is not important is telling us the truth, you can have all the skills and experience and never make a single dime from the market when money management is lacking. I know many people who have the experience but that has not been able to translate into cash because they don't have the right emotional build up, your mentality is essential, without it, you will lose money consistently, that is the way to approach this business.

HOWTO - Use Anonymous Keys
- Why Do We Need Anonymous Keys?
- How it works
- Using Anonymous Keys
- Benefits and Drawbacks
Why Do We Need Anonymous Keys?
The core difference between referential integrity in Java and in an RDBMS lies in where the specific referential information is maintained. Java, and most modern OO languages, maintain referential integrity information in the runtime environment. Actual object relationships are maintained by the virtual machine so that the symbolic variable used in the application is dereferenced it will in fact provide access to the object instance which it is expected to provide access to. There is no need for a manual lookup or search across the heap for the correct object instance. Entity reference integrity is maintained and handled for the programmer by the environment.
Relational databases, on the other, purposefully place the referential integrity and lookups into the problem domain - that is the problem they are designed to solve. An RDBMS presumes you can design something more efficient for your specific circumstances than the JVM does (you trust its ability to do object lookups in the heap is sufficiently efficient). As an RDBMS has a much larger heap equivalent it is designed to not operate under that assumption (mostly). So, in an RDBMS the concept of specific foreign keys exists to maintain the referential integrity.
In crossing the object to relational entity barrier there is a mismatch between the referential integrity implementations. Java programmers do not want to have to maintain both object referential integrity and key referential integrity analogous to
{ Foo child = new SomeOtherFooType(); Foo parent = new SomeFooType(); child.setParent(parent); child.setParentId(parent.getId()); }
This is double the work required - you set up the object relationship, then set up the key relationship. OJB knows about the relationship of the objects, thus it is only needed to do
{ Foo child = new Foo(); Foo parent = new Foo(); child.setParent(parent); }
OJB can provide transparent key relationship maintenance behind the scenes for 1:1 relations via anonymous access fields. As object relationships change, the relationships will be propogated into the key values without the Java object ever being aware of a relational key being in use. This means that the java object does not need to specify a FK field for the reference.
Without use of anonymous keys class Foo have to look like:
class Foo { Integer id; Integer fkParentFoo; Foo parent; // optional getter/setter .... {
When using anonymous keys the FK field will become obsolete:
class Foo { Integer id; Foo parent; // optional getter/setter .... {
How it works
To play for safety it is mandatory to understand how this feature is working. More information how it works please see here.
Using Anonymous Keys
Now we can start using of the anonymous key feature. In this section the using is detailed described on the basis of an example.
The Code
Take the following classes designed to model a particular problem domain. They may do it reasonably well, or may not. Presume they model it perfectly well for the problem being solved.
public class Desk { private Integer id; private Finish finish; /** Contains Drawer instances */ private List drawers; private int numberOfLegs; public Desk() { this.drawers = new ArrayList(); } .... // getter/setter } public class Drawer { private Integer id; /** Contains Thing instances */ private List stuffInDrawer; public Drawer() { this.stuffInDrawer = new ArrayList(); } .... // getter/setter } public class Finish { private Integer id; private String wood; private String color; .... // getter/setter } public class Thing { private Integer id; private String name; .... // getter/setter }
A Desk will typically reference multiple drawers and one finish.
The Database
When we need to store our instances in a database we use a fairly typical table per class persistance model.
CREATE TABLE finish ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, wood VARCHAR(255), color VARCHAR(255) ); CREATE TABLE desk ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, num_legs INTEGER, finish_id INTEGER, FOREIGN KEY (finish_id) REFERENCES finish(id) ); CREATE TABLE drawer ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, desk_id INTEGER, FOREIGN KEY (desk_id) REFERENCES desk(id) ); CREATE TABLE thing ( id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, name VARCHAR(255), drawer_id INTEGER, FOREIGN KEY (drawer_id) REFERENCES drawer(id) );
At the database level the possible relationships need to be explicitely defined by the foreign key constraints. These model all the possible object relationships according to the domain model (until generics enter the Java language for the collections API, this is technically untrue for the classes used here).
The Repository Configuration
When we go to map the classes to the database, it is almost a one-to-one property to field mapping. The exception here is the primary key on each entity. This is meaningless information in Java, so we would like to keep it out of the object model. Anonymous access keys allow us to do that.
The repository.xml must know about the database columns used for referential integrity, but OJB can maintain the foreign key relationships behind the scenes - freeing the developer to focus on more accurate modeling of her objects to the problem, instead of the the persistance mechanism. Doing this is also very simple - in the repository.xml file mark the field descriptors with a access="anonymous" attribute.
<class-descriptor class="Desk" table="desk"> <field-descriptor name="id" column="id" jdbc-type="INTEGER" primarykey="true" autoincrement="true" /> <field-descriptor name="numberOfLegs" column="num_legs" jdbc-type="INTEGER" /> <field-descriptor name="finishId" column="finish_id" jdbc-type="INTEGER" access="anonymous" /> <reference-descriptor name="finish" class-ref="Finish"> <foreignkey field-ref="finishId"/> </reference-descriptor> <collection-descriptor name="drawers" element-class-ref="Drawer" > <inverse-foreignkey field-ref="deskId"/> </collection-descriptor> </class-descriptor> <class-descriptor class="Finish" table="finish"> <field-descriptor name="id" column="id" jdbc-type="INTEGER" primarykey="true" autoincrement="true" /> <field-descriptor name="wood" column="wood" jdbc-type="VARCHAR" size="255" /> <field-descriptor name="color" column="color" jdbc-type="VARCHAR" size="255" /> </class-descriptor> <class-descriptor class="Drawer" table="drawer"> <field-descriptor name="id" column="id" jdbc-type="INTEGER" primarykey="true" autoincrement="true" /> <field-descriptor name="deskId" column="desk_id" jdbc-type="INTEGER" access="anonymous" /> <collection-descriptor name="stuffInDrawer" element-class-ref="Thing" > <inverse-foreignkey field-ref="drawerId"/> </collection-descriptor> </class-descriptor> <class-descriptor class="Thing" table="thing"> <field-descriptor name="id" column="id" jdbc-type="INTEGER" primarykey="true" autoincrement="true" /> <field-descriptor name="name" column="name" jdbc-type="VARCHAR" size="255" /> <field-descriptor name="drawerId" column="drawer_id" jdbc-type="INTEGER" access="anonymous" /> </class-descriptor>
Look first at the class descriptor for the Thing class. Notice the field-descriptor with the name attribute "drawerId". This field is labeled as anonymous access. Because it is anonymous access OJB will not attempt to assign the value here to a "drawerId" field or property on the Thing class. Normally the name attribute is used as the Java name for the attribute, in this case it is not. The name is still required because it is used as an indicated for references to this anonymous field.
In the field descriptor for Drawer, look at the collection descriptor with the name stuffInDrawer. This collection descriptor references a foreign key with the field-ref="drawerId". This reference is to the anonymous field descriptor in the Thing descriptor. The field-ref matches to the name in the descriptor whether or not the name also maps to the Java attribute name. This dual use of name can be confusing - be careful.
The same type mapping that is used for the collection descriptor in the Drawer descriptor is also used for the 1:1 reference descriptor in the Desk descriptor.
The primary keys are populated into the objects as it is generally a good practice to not implement primary keys as anonymous access fields. Primary keys may be anonymous-access but references will get lost if the cache is cleared or the persistent object is serialized.
Benefits and Drawbacks
There are both benefits and drawbacks to using anonymous field references for maintaining referential integrity between Java objects and database relations. The most immediate benefit is avoiding semantic code duplication. The second major benefit is avoiding cluttering class definitions with persistance mechanism artifacts. In a well layered application, the persistance mechanism will not really need to be so obvious in the object model implementation. Anonymous fields helpt o achieve this - thereby making persistence mechanisms more flexible. Moving to a different one becomes easier.
