Hello all, I'm Max and I'm new to this forum and also new to java. Lately I've been given an assignment to create an online video shop website. I've done the skeletons and so on, now I'm trying to enhance the website for better marks. So if your free, please kindly help! Thank you.
Currently, I have the sign up/login page done, as well as the add/remove movies. shopping cart(modify/remove quantity), also the admin page which allows to edit
the price and the stock available.
I'm currently using NetBeans IDE 6.7.1, with personal glassfish v3 Prelude. I have the database set up too. Those SQL stuff (SELECT WHERE etc)
So basically, I have several stuffs that I want to implement into the website.
1) How do I check if if a new username created, if the name has already exist in the database. I think it is to use the select count query but I'm not really sure how and where to use it.
2) I would like to make implement a admin/customer account. Basically for the customer account, everything will be standard except that you have no access to the admin.jsp. For the admin account, it will be a different page which will have a link going to the admin page as well as everything else. Best is when I log in, there will be a label saying "Welcome (USERNAME)", Account Type : Administrator / Customer. I have a few ideas about this basically maybe using a radio button in the sign up page either selecting Customer or Administrator. After, making a new database specifically for each account type. But I'm not sure how I could do this. Some guide would be nice.
3) Search Engine. To search for a specific movie title or specific group/genre of movie titles
4) Tracking customer's purchasing histories and preference.
This is what I currently have in mind now. Most probably more in time to come. If any of you are free, maybe you could add me on MSN : [email removed by moderator] or reply to this thread to help. Thanks in advance all!

2006 Chevrolet Malibu - Consumer Review

Bye Bye GM
By Chevy Lemon on
Vehicle2006 Chevrolet Malibu LT 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
ReviewRotors at 6K, lot rust..not, headlights shake, both units are loose, tap on the lense, you'll see, no GM fix! Tie rods replaced at 12K along with rotors, again! Power train control module, door latches, security system, horn blows all by itself, check engine light, thermostat, blows all over the road, wind & road noise, car shakes so bad the visors move, rattles, clunking under the floor & pedals, 34K & going for another rotor "fix" as we speak #7, you can only file them so many times, replacement might work but no, tires are junk, told I needed 30K on them before they will replace under my warranty. What! No wonder GM is going under. Worst car ever. A roach! So much for "Buy American"!
Best FeaturesGosh, I'm trying to find something good to say but it's just not happening. Used to think it was the remote start but even that only works sporadically. Not enough room above to continue with complaints but there are many! Careful if you buy a used Malibu under 34K it just might be my trade in!
Worst FeaturesCustomer Service might help, GM headquarters has never responded to survey's I've sent back to them at their request after warranty work was done. I've also sent letters on two occasions along with many surveys & still no response from them or the dealership to date. Stand behind your warranties!

A good cause was celebrated last Thursday night as former mayor and recently retired South Middlesex County Register of Deeds Gene Brune and members of the Somerville Lions Club honored 85-year-old Murray Kusmin, the sole surviving charter member of Milford Lions. For the past 60 years he has been a member, beginning the quest to help find the cure for blindness. The historic evening was made even more memorable and an extra honor to Kusmin when his grandson, David Kusmin, was installed as a Lion that same night. This makes him a third generation family Lion member. Kusmin's son Steven, David's dad, is also a Lion.
The event was well attended by Murray's family and friends, as well as by members of Somerville, Westwood, Cambridge and Milford Lions Clubs. Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world. Their 1.35 million members, who perform community service in 206 countries and geographic areas, are different in many ways, but share a core belief: that the "community is what we make it."

Brad Nelson's hot bat continued to sizzle on Tuesday night, knocking in four runs for the Sounds in a 7-3 victory over the Colorado Springs Sky Sox at Greer Stadium.
Nelson raised his season average to .346 with a pair of two-run singles in four at-bats and helped jump-start a Sounds offense that was shut out the previous night. It was only the Sounds' second win in 17 night games this season.
Colorado Springs plated the first run of the game in the first inning when Jon Herrera led off with a bunt single and then stole second before Cory Sullivan singled him in on the next pitch. Nashville starter Mark DiFelice escaped further damage by inducing a double play from Seth Smith and striking out Ian Stewart to end the inning.
Sky Sox starter Victor Zambrano followed DiFelice's rocky start by walking Hernan Iribarren, Laynce Nix, and Joe Dillon to start the bottom half of the inning. Brad Nelson capitalized on Zambrano's control issues by continuing his hot streak with a two-run single, giving him a total of 12 RBIs in the last five games. Dillon scored the final run of the inning on the next at-bat when Vinny Rottino grounded into a double play.
Zambrano's control problems continued in the bottom of the third when he issued back-to-back walks to Nix and Dillon on eight straight pitches, and Rottino came through with a two-out triple that scored both runners. Not to be outdone by Nelson, Rottino is on a hot streak of his own, batting .302 with 12 RBIs in his last 10 games after getting off to a slow start this season.
The Sky Sox responded in the top of the fourth when Joe Koshansky belted a two-run homer to right field. It was his second home run in two days and his fifth on the year.
But Nelson struck again in the bottom of the fifth inning with another two-run single to extend the Sounds lead to four after Nix singled and Dillon doubled in front of him. With that hit, Nelson raised his average to .353 with runners in scoring position on the season.
Erasmo Ramirez pitched two scoreless innings in relief and handed the ball over to Luis Pena who kept the Sky Sox off the board in the ninth inning to end the game.
DiFelice (2-0) earned his second win in as many starts on the season after pitching six innings and giving up three runs on six hits while striking out five.

If anything, the Mercury is committed to keeping you up-to-date on the latest obsessions of 11-year-old girls, and UK girl group Little Mix are your tween niece's new favoritest thing EVARRR. The four young ladies were contestants on The X Factor UK before all joining forces, becoming heirs apparent to the Spice Girls' throne (it's a really nice throne, but they left a lot of gum under the seat).
And the mania has already started. Here is the video for "Wings," which was a huge hit in Britain last year and is slowly but surely going to do the same here. It's the kind of song that you can't fucking stand for the first 60 seconds, then you slowly warm up to for the next 60, and by the end you are a shrieking, teary-eyed fanatic.
So "Wings" is all fine and good, but what I really want to show you is this wonderful, heartwarming video of Little Mix's first CD signing in the US, at a mall somewhere in the New York area (they want you to think it's Manhattan, but I bet it's somewhere in Jersey). These fans—girls all, except for one very special boy at the 2:34 mark—are SOOO HAPPY to meet their heroes. I bet they already have picked their favorite Little Mixes, like the violet-haired one with the Scottish accent, or the one with the creepily huge doll hair with the pretty bow in it, or the tough (read: black—see also: Scary Spice) one with the backwards combat-green hat, or the one that looks a little like Thnooki (that's "Thin Snooki").
These borderline hysterical fans are delightful, and this is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. :D

Speck of Dust
- Artist: Richard Held
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 1/4/2005
|your cart is empty
BCR has a new 2 CD set coming out in early 07!!! A 25 year retrospective featuring ALL the former and present players. STAY TUNED............ 'Speck of Dust' 'The back of the inlay card bears the mention 'AfroNuclearWavabillyFunk-SwingReggaeTurskaBand' and it's as good a description as any. Led by the multi-reedist Rev. Dwight Frizzell, this group (the word 'troupe' would also be fitting) proposes an endearing take on Sun Ra's cosmic jazz. Imagine, if you will, a band featuring African percussion, shakuhachi (a Japanese bamboo flute), Turkish lavta, harmonica, viola da gamba, a vintage Serge synthesizer and lap steel guitar, alongside reeds (saxes, clarinets and various traditional instruments) and rhythm section. Imagine a band churning up highly original arrangements of tunes by Sun Ra, Duke Ellington, Afro Nationale and Erik Satie(!). 'The latter's 'Troisième Gymnopédie' provides the disc's opener, it's gentle, otherwordly melody accompanied by lap steel and set upon a smooth calypso groove. Then comes 'Astro Caravan,' or Ellington revisited by Sun Ra, with lyrics sung by lead singer Monique Danielle, a powerful, soulful voice. Ra's 'Walking' on the Moon' and 'Love in Outer Space' hit closer to the originals, but Afro Nationale's 'Gowa' steals the show,it's energy unmatched elsewhere on the disc. The group's original tunes have a hard time competing with the covers, but 'Pale Blue Dot,' 'Blue Momo' (a highlight) and the anthemic closer 'In the Night' are very good selections. 'Resting on a stable 7-piece core (Danielle, Frizzell, reedists Thomas Aber} and Alonzo Conway, guitarist Julia Thro, bassist Mark Thies and drummer Allaudin Ottinger (all doubling on percussion) and a cast of a dozen guests, BCR's sound is ample, rich and contagious. Released on the tiny imprint (Sparkling Beatnik), 'Speck of Dust' deserves to find a wider audience. It has the quality and appeal to do so.' --Francois Couture Writer, journalist (All-Music Guide, Ici),producer of Delire Actuel and Delire Musical, CFLX. Described by founding member Dwight Frizzell as 'an eros-fueled space opera,' 'Speck of Dust' orchestrates the cosmo-love principle that has been at the heart of the band since BCR founding members were receiving direct transmissions from space-jazz master Sun Ra back in 1982. At that time, the band was known as the Black Crack Revue in honor of the cosmic crevasse making black holes negotiable for time-travel, alternative reality hopping, and all-purpose worm-holing. 'What other Kansas City band, with consummate musicianship, swings effortlessly from an orchestrated big band sound of Ellingtonian complexity to slow Jamaican reggae, to driving Latin funk, all in one set, and never misses a beat? --Kansas City Magazine 'From live gigs with the Kronos Quartet to the delighted ears of dementians tuning in to the Dr. Demento Show, the unfazeable BCR never sleeps. Through appearances on stage for two decades with media-Medusoids like Sun Ra, Wavy Gravy, the Ziggy Marley Band and Brave Combo; and live satellite up-links with Don Cherry and Alvin Curran; BCR has remained true to their cosmological roots in black holes, time-travel and alternative universes.' --Jazz Festival Magazine BCR Speck of Dust It's impossible to just be a fan of BCR. Using such a label almost seems to deride the group's talent and creativity. The attraction is beyond fan-man-ship. With that Sun Ra 'cosmo-love principle' thing, so preached by the Rev. Dwight Frizzell, experiencing BCR is akin to a religious conversion, an intellectual/spiritual/sensory happening like practicing Kama Sutra positions with Madame Blavatsky. Speck of Dust continues the practice. Listening to it is so enjoyable that my only downer is realizing how little I know in terms of what it takes to create such great music. Forget the dead KC jazz guys. BCR is so imaginative and disciplined that what is heard on Speck of Dust transforms in the listener's mind as free form and spontaneous without the labor of knowing. The refrain, 'If you wake up now, it won't be too soon,' sung by the fabulous Monique Danielle on 'Walkin' on the Moon,' recorded live at the Grand Emporium, isn't a plea to 'get it' with BCR, but an invitation. Danielle's voice vibrates the bones like a deep-tissue massage done with velvet gloves. Other superlative local musicians sit in. Bill Dye strokes his lap steel guitar on 'Love in Outer Space,' along with Paula Van Regenmorter on flute. Gerald Trimble's viola helps set the 'monster' mood on 'Blue Mono,' a tune by Frizzell that reminds us 'We're all evil smelling beast-eez.' The song fades to otherworldly slurps, grunts and strains accented by Trimble's viola and Randy Weinstein's chromatic harmonica. Rocker Joey Skidmore joins Danielle on 'Space Junk,' leaving his guitar-whipped voice behind and comes out better for the collaboration. Speck of Dust is BCR's first major release in a decade. But where this wondrous group travels, time is not relative. -Bruce Rodgers (Posted 8/5/04) NOTE: (These are not CR-ROMs. They are professionally manufactured discs)

After Lanquin and Samuc Champey, I traveled to Rio Dulce. This is a town / lake / river that's meant to be pretty. And it is, when you get away from the town itself. A lot of the rich bigwigs from the city have weekend houses out here – our captain pointed out a few (the owner of Gallo beer has several large boats – and he lives alone..)
There aren't any decent places to stay in town, they're all a boat ride away. Which sounds nice, but once you're there, it means you're trapped. You can't even go for a walk, since it's all marsh beyond the boardwalks connecting the few buildings. You have to take a boat to get anywhere, which costs money and is a pain. As a result, the lodges can soak you for food. I happened to stay at one that was Swiss-owned, so it attracted a lot of Germans. Not that I have anything against the German people, but I do find their language grating.
So I got out of there the next day, along with a few other folks I had traveled with. First, we visited a natural hot spring waterfall. Crazy! There is a large natural pool with a cool river flowing through it. And from above, a very strong, very hot waterfall of sulfuric spring water pouring down. Twas nice.
Trying to come back into town, we waited for a bus for a while before I finally flagged down a passing truck. They graciously peeled back the top cover, and we all climbed aboard the feed bags. Much better than being crammed into a packed bus, and cheaper too. I'd like to travel in the back of trucks much more. You do get pretty dusty, but the view is unparalleled.
After that, it was a long boat ride up the river through the gorge to the town of Livingston, where I am currently holing up. This town is only accessible by boat. Which is pretty incredible when you look around and see all the huge things that could only have come in by boat – roads, walls, water towers, cars, etc.
I was feeling a bit lonely and down (more on that later) when who should I run into walking down the street than Marisol, my dear friend from Spanish school! Oh, that was such a blessing. It really made my week. She was on her way from Belize to El Salvador to go surfing, and had stopped here for the night. We had a nice time catching up and such.
Livingston feels much more Carribean than Guatemalan. Mainly because it's populated by Garifuna, so they're black and have a completely different culture and language than the Mayans. The Garifuna have an interesting history – they were slaves that got run from one island to another in the 18th century. But they've gone from only 2,000 survivors in 1797 to 50,000 in New York City alone today. There are also strongholds in L.A., New Orleans, even London. Most live on the Carribean coast of Honduras, with a bit in Belize, Nicaragua, and Guatemala. Their language is a unique blend of Arawak, French, Yuroba, Banti, and Swahili, owing to their mixed heritage. Their dugu (religion) is similar to Haitian voodoo, and death is seen as a freeing of the spirit; a celebration involving dancing, drinking and music. Punta is the name of their style of music. It's very up, fast, and rhythmic. At dinner the other night, a group of musicians suddenly set up and regaled us all with some fierce rhythms. Congas, turtle and conch shells, maraccas, with chanting too. Locals wandering by stopped to dance. Kids taking turns showing off their moves. Here is a bit of it I recorded on the iPhone. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me! I would love to see some Punta Rock, but the clubs that supposedly usually present it have been dark.
I can see that it would be a nice relaxing town if the weather were better, but it's been raining off and on (mostly on) for three straight days now. I've been trying to arrange transport to the Bay Islands in Honduras, with little luck. I might have to take a whole series of local buses, which I'm dreading. Plus, the weather is meant to be similar over there, which doesn't bode well for snorkeling and diving, the main activities on the Bay Islands. If any of you have been to Honduras, I'd love to hear recommendations of where else to go.

Groundhog Day, or my Snow Days in Boston
Have you ever seen the movie "Groundhog Day"? Bill Murray plays a journalist who wakes up day after day only to find that it's still the same day: Groundhog Day. It's a frustrating, hilarious scenario and a great movie.
The past three weeks have been a "Groundhog Day" of sorts for me. I keep traveling up to Boston from New York City only to find that school has been canceled due to snow. I spend my days indoors, sleeping late and catching up on work. (The fact that this is my second blog post in 2015 and it's only February says something given my past record of posting.) This week was even crazier: not only did both days of school get canceled because of the snow, but my Sunday night gig with Colin Stack at the Lily Pad in Cambridge was also postponed to a future date. I drove up Saturday night to avoid the snow (which, incidentally, began falling the moment I hit the Massachusetts border – I am not making this up) only to find out on Sunday that there was no gig, followed by there being no school.
The craziest part of this is that there are still students I haven't met. Yesterday I finally got on Google Hangouts and taught two of these three students their first guitar lesson of the semester. They're great kids and I think that once we can get into a groove (once it stops snowing!) things will be fantastic.
Boston received a record snowfall for a two-week span of time, an amount of snow bigger than the famous Blizzard of '78 (which is saying something because that was EPIC). Out of eight days of teaching this semester I've taught only two-and-a-half days due to the weather. It's truly insane, the amount of snow and what it looks like out there:
It's been great catching up on things, but I really miss teaching. Next week is supposed to be clear on the days I'm teaching, so hopefully we can finally get started on the semester. I love snow, but this is too much.

|Oracle FAQ
|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: What is your experience with 8.1.6?
We are on the verge of implementing a production
Reservations system (mission-critical) on Oracle 8.1.6
running on Sun Solaris 2.6. Our database initially
will be small so we are not using partitions. We have
just completed most of our technical and functional
testing and everything looks good. Our production
database will be < 5GB in size to start though we ran
a larger amount of data successfully for a volume
testing phase. We are using multi-master replication
and also are using the Oracle Enterprise Manager
software installed on a Solaris host with the client
being run from our desktops which are Windows NT 4
workstations. We will be using OEM for event
management, performance monitoring and for some
replication management features. These things are for
the most part, set and tested and are working well.
All of this is software delivered with Oracle 8.1.6.
There are a couple of configuration issues you need to
be aware of which do have work-arounds. They are as
follows: 1. dbstart routine as delivered contains a
bug which prevents the automatic startup from working
(see Metalink for the fix). 2. There are two views
in the catalog.sql script which do not create properly
and should be rerun. They are
v_$dlm_traffic_controller and
gv_$dlm_traffic_controller. 3. Check for invalid packages which may need to be re-compiled. 4. Make sure that your oratab is set-up correctly. I seem to recall having a problem with a missing end colon preventing automatic startup from working.
In April 2000 we ordered and installed Oracle 8.1.5. We got the cart before the horse and did the install before getting the os patches applied. We attempted to de-install the Oracle software and the 8.1.5 software would not de-install using that installer. That was the extent of our use of 8.1.5. When we called Oracle support, they logged the bug and asked us if we would use 8.1.6 instead. We are not looking at 8.1.7 at this time because we are too close to implementation.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (WAVY) – Several people had to escape a blaze at a home in Newport News early Wednesday morning and fire crews say it was set intentionally.
The fire sparked in the 1000 block of 36th Street just after 4 a.m., Battalion Chief J. Douglas Carper said. WAVY News' Deanna LeBlanc and LaVoy Harrell spotted smoke from the fire from the interstate and rushed to the scene to find flames shooting from a boarding house.
Carper said five occupants were in the home at the time of the fire. They were all able to escape the home before fire crews arrived on scene. Two men were transported to a local hospital with burns and smoke inhalation injuries.
Additionally, a firefighter was treated at the scene for exhaustion. He has since returned to duty.
It took fire crews about an hour to get the blaze under control. Carper said the fire spread rapidly through voids in the walls, floors and ceilings due to the old style balloon frame construction of the home. That made it difficult to fight.
The home will be condemned due to the damage. The American Red Cross is assisting the residents.
Investigators say the fire was intentionally set by one of the renters, 27-year-old Lawrence Barnes. He was arrested and is in the custody of the Newport News Police Department on charges of arson: dwelling usually occupied.
Officials told WAVY News' Deanna LeBlanc Barnes admitted to starting the fire in more than one place.
According to Holly McPherson with the Newport News Police Department, officers had responded to the home around 11 p.m. Tuesday night for a report of an assault. Barnes told police he had been assaulted by a 42-year-old man. Witnesses said the two men got into a verbal altercation that turned physical.
Other renters of the boarding house told WAVY.com Barnes warned them that something would happen in the morning.
The owner of the boarding house said Barnes had just moved in at the beginning of the month. Friends say he had a rough start in his new home.
"He called me last week stating he really, really wanted to get out of there," said Dereck Boone, who has rented rooms to Barnes in the past.
Boone said Barnes is working through personal issues, but he never thought he would do something like this.
"I just pray for him," said Boone.
Barnes denied a jailhouse interview with WAVY.com on Wednesday, saying he wanted to talk to his lawyer first.

Johan Santana No-Hitter: Why It Was MLB's Most Impressive No-No in Recent MemoryJune 2, 2012
Johan Santana had the weight of New York on his back when he took the mound each and every inning as the pressure began to mount when he threw a no-hitter on Friday night against the St. Louis Cardinals.
For that reason alone, Santana's no-hitter was a masterpiece that is going to be considered one of the more impressive and one of the most meaningful games pitched for quite a while.
The New York Mets ace threw the 20th no-hitter since the beginning of the 2006 season in an unquestionably remarkable game, completing a feat for the Mets that had previously never been done before.
Was it the best no-hitter of the ones that have been thrown in recent years?
Think about the incredible games that we have watched and marveled at over the last few years. This season alone we witnessed Jered Weaver's no-no and prior to that, Philip Humber's perfect game. Could this gem be considered a better game than Roy Halladay's no-hitter in the playoffs in 2010?
There is no way that Santana's performance stands above the four perfect games thrown over the same period of time—or is there?
There are variables that go in to every no-hitter, including the importance of the game and quality of the opponent just to name a couple. So, does the fact that Santana's no-no is the first ever for the Mets put it over the top?
There is something about the torture that the Mets have put their fans through year in and year out, having pitchers flirt with no-hitters just to ultimately fail in the end. It was becoming almost comical.
Then one day, in their 51st season, in their 8,020th game, a pitcher that has seen his Mets career plagued by injuries, does it in his 99th start for the Mets.
In 2008, Santana's first season with the Mets, he finished the season with a torn meniscus in his left knee and underwent surgery in October of that year.
In his second season, Santana was placed on the DL on August 25 and did not return after having arthroscopic surgery in which he had bone chips removed from his left elbow.
In 2010, Santana underwent major shoulder surgery on September 14, which forced him to miss the remainder of the 2010 season and the entire 2011 season.
Many fans felt that Santana would never be the same again. He proved on Friday night that he indeed would never be the same again, he would be better.
His season has been nothing short of brilliant pitching to a 2.38 ERA and a strikeout an inning with 68 strikeouts in 68 innings.
For this one night, Santana put his shoulder surgery behind him and threw a career-high 134 pitches to complete the no-hit bid.
What else makes it more impressive than the Justin Verlander no-no or the Dallas Braden perfect game? Santana did it against the defending World Series champions and the current National League offensive leaders.
Santana had many things going against him in this game, yet somehow found a way to get through the game and give the Mets something that has always eluded them. He pitched a game that no one will forget and 50 years from now, every Mets fan will be able to tell you what they were doing when the Mets got their first no-hitter.
The Mets will never again have to worry about when or if their first no-hitter will happen, thanks to Santana.

Congress Fails To Act On Efficient Rail Transportation
Over the last year, we've seen the threefold nature of the danger that comes from our nation's dependence upon individual automobiles for transportation:
1. We've seen how fossil fuel prices can rise quickly to economically unsustainable levels
2. We've seen how the automotive industry is incapable of remaining as a driving force in our economy
3. We've continued to see the climate crisis expand, with present and increasing impacts on the quality of our lives and the sustainability of our way of living
The lesson ought to be clear: Our dependence upon cars as a primary mode of transportation cannot be sustained. Economically and environmentally, there is a need for transportation alternatives.
High speed rail can be such an alternative. Building high speed rail can make transportation less costly, and can reduce our nation's emissions of pollution linked to climate change. We've known this for quite some time, but where has the action been? Where are America's high speed rails?
In effect, there are none. Even the Acela routes in the northeast U.S. are not equipped with rail lines that enable high speed trains to actually travel at high speeds.
Economically, the creation of a high speed rail system could provide just the boost the economy needs. Imagine if Detroit's manufacturing capacity were shifted toward the construction of a new generation of engines and equipment to move Americans at high speed along efficient rail lines. That kind of project is what's going to bring us jobs – but is that kind of project in the works?
In 2006, we were told that the Democratic majority in Congress would bring change. Then, in 2007 we were told that the Democratic Congress needed a Democratic President to actually bring change. So, now it's 2009, and we've got both. If we're to take the promises of the Democratic Part seriously, we ought to see Congress now moving forward with visionary reforms to overcome the problems of the last 8 years.
When it comes to high speed rail, that's not what we're seeing. Congress is not taking action on high speed rail at all. There is no legislation providing for investment in high speed rail lines in either house of Congress.
There's a bill requiring security for rail lines. Congressman Gene Greene from Texas has even introduced legislation to make it more difficult to construct rail lines. But there's no action at all from Democrats in Congress that would help to move our transportation infrastructure into a more sustainable future.
More generally, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has introduced S. 5, the Cleaner, Greener, and Smarter Act of 2009, which sounds great, until you actually read the legislation. It's nothing more than a resolution expressing the sense of Congress that the President ought to do something to make America cleaner, greener and smarter.
Detroit's automakers have received billions from Congress to keep them manufacturing cars. When are we going to see the Democrats in Congress move forward to invest in a transportation system that goes beyond 20th century thinking? Was environmental reform anything more for the Democrats than a campaign talking point?

I'm seeing the same thing, under certain circumstances. I have a PowerMac running Stanford's kerberized telnet program. If I telnet directly to a 486 running NetBSD, I get a kerberized connection, and I see the exact thing you see above, a ^@ after every line. What's annoying is that I think the telnetd is inserting it into the received data stream, and passing to to the shell or running program. It makes using elm imposable (to the extent it's possable at all :-) The really weird thing is that if I use the same mac to telnet to an RS/6000 running AIX 3.2.5 or a SPARC station running Solaris something and THEN telnet to the NetBSD box, I don't have this problem. Even with totally kerberized connections! The terminal settings end up being the same, so I don't think it's a termcap thing. I guess it's something to do w/ the telnet negotiation. Does someone have any ideas? Take care, Bill

I recently received a spam email from Sony with the following false statement: "You are receiving this email because you have subscribed to receive promotional information from Reader Store."The note about buying a new book is true. I've been planning to read "The Golden Age" books, but now I'm not going to be reading them on my Sony.
No, I did not subscribe to receive spam from Reader Store. Some asshole in marketing decided that they _really_ needed to send out emails to people who haven't been buying books, so they decided to just pretend that they had permission to do so.
You may consider this as my notice that I do not do business with spammers, so even thought I've been planning to buy some more of John C. Wright's books from the Reader Store, I'm going to buy a book reader from a competitor instead.
Anyone want a used ebook reader?

The flag is one of only three collegiate flags at St. Jude representing the top fundraising chapter of each college division.
"Having the USM flag at St. Jude represents the hard work and dedication to Tri Delta's philanthrophy and also to our university," said Heather Chopin of Petal, Miss., a communications studies major and member of the sorority. "Every patient, parent, doctor and visitor get to see the flag that not only represents Tri Delta but also The University of Southern Mississippi."
In 2010, Tri-Delta set a goal to raise $15 million in five years, but completed the goal a year and a half ahead of schedule. This year Southern Miss Tri-Delta chapter hopes to raise $72,000 so that the Southern Miss flag can continue to hang on the Tri-Delta Patient Care floor.

HGST FlashMAX II 2.2TB Enterprise PCIe SSD Review
Virident was founded in 2006 with a simple goal of maximizing CPU utilization by boosting I/O performance. Virident's flash journey began with NOR products, but an eventual restructuring brought them into the NAND space. Their first PCIe SSD, the TachIO, rolled out in 2010 sporting ultra-durable SLC. MLC easily addresses endurance for 95% of applications, and acceptable performance and better economics led to the arrival of the MLC FlashMAX design in 2011. Virident delivers on density and performance, but their true strength lies in wide interoperability with leading applications and an ecosystem of software that enhances application performance. Virident's software offerings leverage the server, storage, and network resources of converged datacenter infrastructures to deliver SAN-like capabilities.
Virident came under the umbrella of storage industry heavyweight WD when HGST brought Virident in October of 2013. HGST is fast becoming the flash arm of WD, and the existing Virident product line fills a gap in their offerings. Virident gains access to an established channel and more engineering muscle to develop tightly integrated server-side flash storage and software.
The HGST FlashMAX II is a Storage Class Memory (SCM) product designed to maximize density and performance, and minimize latency, to provide higher performance in cloud computing, virtualization, database, analytics, HPC, and webscale applications.
The third generation FlashMAX II design features formidable density packed into the HHHL (Half-Height, Half-Length) form factor. Three models, Standard, Performance, and Capacity, address varying performance and density requirements. The Standard model features the lowest speed and densities of 550 GB and 1.1 TB. The Capacity model has incrementally slower speed than the performance variant, but offers a whopping 4.8 TB of storage in the slim HHHL form factor.
The 2.2 TB Performance model, which we are evaluating today, supplies large block random-read bandwidth of 2.7 GB/s, and sequential write speeds of 1 GB/s. The real strength lies in the tuning for transactional workloads, with 1,130,000 512B and 340,000 4k random read IOPS. Sustained 4k write IOPS are spec'd at 110,000. Mixed performance is also impressive with 220,000 75%/25% random read/write 4k IOPS on tap. HGST prides themselves on offering predictable and consistent performance during the warranty period when the drive is full and in steady state. Endurance metrics are impressive at 7.5 DWPD (Drive Writes Per Day) for five years, or 15PB per TB of capacity.
The Storage Class Memory (SCM) distinction is the pillar of the FlashMAX series architecture. The inefficiencies of the SCSI and AHCI driver stack are well known and there are new emerging standards, such as NVMe and SCSI Express, that are developed from the ground up to maximize the driver stack for non-volatile flash. HGST's SCM architecture minimized the driver stack even before finalization of standards such as NVMe.
HGST's Virident Flash-management with Adaptive Scheduling (vFAS) is Virident's own proprietary software layer that streamlines flash access. vFAS virtualizes the underlying NAND components and presents them as a standard block storage device. vFAS sidesteps other storage protocols and interconnect layers and addresses flash more as an adjunct to memory. This results in memory-like 20-microsecond latency.
Many competing PCIe SSD designs employ multiple ASICs assigned to control separate 'drives' (consisting of onboard NAND components) that are controlled by a central RAID controller. This creates a flash hierarchy that limits NAND control to the ASIC managing each bank of NAND. vFAS utilizes an FPGA to provide a global view of the underlying flash resource for the host-based SMC software. Applications can create hot spots of activity that lead to premature wear, but the vFAS architecture maximizes endurance with a global wear distribution technique.
Data integrity is always a concern and vFAS addresses this with a flash-aware RAID scheme and end-to-end data protection. This allows isolation of the onboard NAND components into separate stripes in a RAID 5 (7+1) configuration. The global view of the NAND yields the benefit of a flash-optimized parity scheme that protects from multiple component failures, and capacitors protect from host power-loss events.
Most PCIe SSD implementations, with the exception of Fusion-IO (HGST's chief competitor), offload all SSD functions onto the device itself. This alleviates any host overhead and minimizes CPU cycles dedicated to managing the flash resource. HGST's approach utilizes host processing of NAND management to achieve lower latency than competing devices. This removes other performance bottlenecks and gives the SCM architecture a tight integration with their other software offerings.
HGST does not lead with chart-topping performance numbers, instead focusing on providing a performance and low latency that most users can utilize in a typical environment. Today we test the HGST FlashMAX II against two tough competitors, the MLC Micron P420m, and the SLC Micron P320h. First, let's take a look at the software offering of the FlashMAX II.

Already high ground beef prices could go even higher by yearend and into 2014, according to some analyses of recent production and price data. The latest U.S. Department of Bureau Labor Statistics Consumer Price Index data for June 2013 show the average retail price for 100% ground beef hit $3.382 per pound. That's up 2% from $3.311 but 12.5% above the June 2012 price.
Prices have risen even more steeply for lean/extra-lean ground beef. The CPI pegged it at $4.805 per pound, up 18.6% over the year-ago price. Ground chuck is high at $3.403 but that is a 1.7% decline from a year ago.
Smaller herds resulting from droughts in cattle country are cited as a major reason for the price rise. The number of domestic cattle and calves on Jan. 1, 2013, was 89.3 million, a 2% decline from 2011 and the lowest herd size since 1952, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reports. The number of cows and heifers that have calved stood at 36.8 million at the beginning of the year, the lowest count since 1941.
Price spikes in ground beef will hurt small chains and independents quicker than large chains, which contractually lock in prices for half- or full-year terms. McDonald's Corp. CFO Peter Bensen told analysts last week that the "full year outlook for the increase in our U.S. grocery basket remains at 1.5% to 2.5%."
But earlier this week, Texas Roadhouse CFO George Price Cooper gave analysts a different story from the perspective of a steak chain. "For 2013, we expect food cost inflation of 6.5% to 7% with the third quarter coming in at 7% to 8%, and the fourth quarter in a range of 6% to 7%," said Cooper. "There's still some flux in these numbers, given the fact we are on the market for about 20% of our beef needs, as well as the majority of our produce and dairy needs. The good news is that while it appears we are weathering our second straight year of 6%-plus food inflation, we feel much better about 2014 at this time."
Consumers have shown themselves to be fairly tolerant of reasonable menu-price increases (since they see supermarket prices rise), but Technomic research finds 77% of adult meat-eaters say they would change their ordering habits if menu prices for beef dishes increase. Nearly half (49%) say they would order beef less often. Among burger-loving 18-to-24-year-olds, 60% said they'd cut back on beef. For 43% the answer would be to dine out less often.
Droughts? I traveled through "cattle country" this summer and they got plenty of rain! This is bogus.
The market is being manipulated because of the burger popularity trend!
It's a multi-year picture we're looking at. We are just now feeling the painful effects of last year's drought.
No mention of the effect of the loss of LFTB?
I agree Doug. Markets are manipulating, not only with increase of burger joints, but now everybody's got a mega burger. Control the market with 1/2# or smaller portions. We're "steering" right into there hands.
Cattle Country is a pretty big Country, I doubt you saw all of it, and you are making a hasty generalization.
Beef Prices are not oil, Beef is fairly elastic and is easily substitutable with other proteins. Consumers may not recognize the price increase as much at a restaurant but at a grocery store they will, and consumers have and will continue to buy more Pork and Chicken while Beef Prices remain high.
Folks, the prices of beef are rising because of the governments increasing demands on farmers which I know from experience causing them to give it up. So…. You want some beef? You better start raising it on your own. Soon the USA will have stripped the land all the way to the Dakotas to put up more shopping malls. Or we can learn to eat dogs.

The Premium range of Luigi Bosca winery, Los Nobles, introduced its new vintages: 2009 Chardonnay and the 2007 vintage of its red wines Cabernet Bouchet and Malbec Verdot.
The consolidation of some labels seems to be out of the question; as vintages go by, there are only a few details to mention since the quality and high level remains intact over time. An example of this are the three super premium varietals of the winery run by the Arizu family. The Chardonnay,of great density, complexity and fermented in oak barrels and the two reds came up recently. These last two are field blends, i.e. among Malbec vineyards there are some Petit Verdot plants and in the Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards there are some Cabernet Franc, hence their names Cabernet Bouchet and Malbec Verdot. The two reds stand out for their elegance and complexity. In the case of the Cabernet Bouchet, this is probably one of the best vintages of its history: elegant, silky, well-balanced, and with a storage potential of several years; José -Pepe- Irrera's great achievement.

We can only try to help someone soo much. They have to want to change and some people just can't while others won't. If you really feel like you've tried everything to enlighten their life to no avail then you eventually may have to say "I love you dearly my friend but if you are unwilling to change then it is time for you to stew in your own ****".. sometimes we gotta just walk away..
i said something like that in another question....
Yeah I used to have a friend that was this way. Always surrounded herself with drama and always talked about how lucky I was and that she was jealous. I was patient for a long time and tried to encourage her to live alittle differently and maybe change a few friends and she never did. So eventually I said **** it and told her to stew alone!
accept them for who they are. Someone who is totally negative all the time may also be depressed. Its a common symptom of depression. Be patient and don't throw out all the positive pitch lines, like count your blessings, or things could be worse. Because, it CAN be worse.
If you can, be an example for them.
I say don't. My life is too important to me to have to deal with someone who can't deal with life. Let someone else. I may be selfish, but I like feeling good.
We can't change people's views and opinions, is she being negative to seek attention? It's possible something deeper could be going on, don't feed the negative attitude run with it

For example: I understand you feel like this but I don't understand why you feel like this, this will encourage her to hopefully open up, and then you can help her get back on track
Send him over here: He can move in with the black hole of negativity with whom I live, and they can die together in misery!
you say screw it man lets go bowling

Living in depression for so many years can be very boring.

Take that depression and stab it in the heart because it can only hold you back from being dead.
I'm dealing with that now & have been for 10 yrs & I just give up. It's exhausting to constantly hear what's wrong, wrong, wrong ALL THE TIME & I've tried my very best to teach him how to at least look for the beauty or the logic or the good in things but it seems to me he'd much rather find fault in everything & everybody. I just can't do it anymore. Like I said, it's exhausting so if he'd rather be bitter & miserable - more power to him. I'm done
It kind of depends on how that manifests. Some people are negative about life and deal with that by dumping all over other people. Or by hurting others. I actively avoid those types. I just don't have the energy resources for them any more. The last guy that I was involved with wore me out.

If it's someone who is just depressed or unhappy with life, then I try to encourage them to have hope. I might try to figure out what it is that makes them feel that way, and I might try to change that, if I can. Or at least see if someone else can help. I have to choose which people that I think i could make a difference with. There are so many of these types in the world. So I will sometimes give it my best shot to change someone's perspective.

There does come a time, however, when I realize that some folks need a therapist more than they need a friend. Some people almost seem to want to be negative all the time. It's a deeply ingrained habit, and a sort of comfort zone for them. What's more, these folks are often really really self absorbed, and if you aren't careful, they'll suck you dry. So there are times when you have to deal by choosing NOT to deal.
Stay away; They are a vexation to the spirit
keep pushing positive thoughts, the person will not feel attacked or after a year, tell them they are negative.

They will realize it and change or just be friends from a distance.
I try not to.

DAZ3D released a new model yesterday, Victoria 7. It signals the beginning of a new generation of figures, Genesis 3. Here's a quick comparison of the new model to the old Victoria 6.
For this comparison I set V6 (on the left) with pose #4 from 'Perfect 10' Standing Poses for Genesis 2 Female and converted the mirror pose for V7 via the new Genesis 2 to Genesis 3 Pose Converter. It wasn't 100 percent. I had to pull the right hand out of V7's side and her left foot was in the floor a bit but other than that it was a close conversion. The V6 pose is unmodified except for the head turn.
Hongyu's Bikini for V6 was auto fit to V7 and that too is a little off as you can see. Pyrit Hair for Genesis 2 Female is auto fit to V7 as well and that seems fine. (Note, the weirdness on V7's left wrist isn't a problem with the model, it's the shadow of the bikini tie.)
V7's expression is using the new Genesis 3 Female Expressions (100% happy and 10% excitement.) It looks good and there are lots of controls to play with. V7's eyes were horribly cross-eyed however, maybe from the pose conversion? I don't know. I had to work with pointing V7's eyes quite a bit. I don't think I got it resolved. Right now her eyes are pointed at an object in the sky and they look better but still a bit cross-eyed.
Figures posed in DAZ Studio 4.8. I used the V6 Belle all (default skin) materials for V6 and the default all 3Delight materials for V7. Rendered in 3Delight with no postwork.

Walt and Wendy Cukierski are the proud parents of eleven "blessings" Walter Jr., Weston, William, Wellsley, Wyatt, Wade, Waylan, Woodman, Walker, Wiley and Wilson (due any moment).
Getting the Word Out
What inspired Wendy and Walt to start their Internet apostolate?
"I wanted to get the word out that 'the pill' was an abortifacient, so I wrote a booklet on the subject in the mid-1990s," Wendy says. "Judie Brown [of the American Life League] was very encouraging to me and so we put out a second edition. The apostolate just kind of grew from there.
"We then began to study our faith even more and discovered sacramentals. We were blown away that no one was talking about or offering these precious gifts of our faith!"
Wendy and Walt homeschool their children, but, interestingly, that was a point of contention between the couple in years past. Wendy says her husband, a convert, "was not Catholic, pro-life or pro-homeschool 13 years ago. It was a dark moment in my life, but one that has had a tremendous silver lining ever since! He witnessed the fruit of home education and became an avid promoter to all who would listen. He now does more of the home education than I do and he's extremely pro-life!"
Raising Kids and Lots of Other Things
The Cukierski family, whose home is in the state of New York, has their own Internet apostolate specializing in Catholic sacramentals and dedicated to "help[ing] save the innocent unborn and to draw[ing] folks closer to the Catholic faith."
They have a wonderful story.
"Walt and I met on the third day of college," says Wendy, via email. "I was 17 and he was 18, and within a month, we knew we wanted to be married. We were wed at the age of 20 and will be celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary next February."
Walt left his job as a salesman in medical supplies three years ago to help with the family's apostolate, which they started in 1996. Walt "also does his numismatic business (coins) to help out financially," Wendy says.
In addition to evangelization and pro-life activism, the Cukierskis love "raising chickens, organic gardening, hydroponics and all things simple."
A Lifestyle of Catholic Simplicity
I asked Wendy if she has any advice for parents struggling to raise their children in the Catholic faith in our culture of death. Her response:
"I truly believe our lifestyle of Catholic simplicity has kept our children close. In addition, we always let them know that the greatest gift God could ever give them is the gift of a sibling. They truly like each other! Home educating has also kept them close.
"If parents are struggling to raise their children in the faith, they need to get the negative influences out of their lives. That may be the wrong friends, the wrong TV programming, or the wrong music.
"I think parents tend to 'give up' too easily. It is extremely hard trying to combat the world, yet we have to do so, for the sake of our children. Perhaps my Irish temper helps. I simply tell the children that we are the parents, they are the children and we have to answer to God plain and simple no 'ifs,' 'ands' or 'buts.'
"I also highly recommend regular prayer time throughout the day. We live according to a Benedictine schedule, as adapted to family life. There are certain times of the day when we gather for prayer. It doesn't have to be a long, drawn-out process. Just the fact that you are taking a few moments to pray together. We do our longest prayer time in the evening.
"Lastly, responsibility. Giving a child responsibilities is good for his or her character and for keeping him or her busy and, hopefully, out of trouble. Our children take care of the animals, the garden, and are given special household duties. They also give at least one hour a day to help out with the apostolate. We balance this with plenty of 'fun time' for playing outdoor sports and so on.
"Without a doubt, being a parent is the hardest job ever! Yet I do believe the Lord gives us all the grace we need. We just have to remember to ask for it."

Living Easter Through the Year
Full Product Description
This book brings the events and themes of Easter into the rest of the year. In the Christian tradition, we make much of the Christ-child and Christ crucified but are much more reticent about Christ risen, in spite of the fact that it's the risen life we're supposed to be sharing most of the time. We go through Lent and Holy Week with great seriousness but Easter gets one great day and then we're not sure what to do with it. This book is full of ideas, reflections, and resources on how to extend the message of resurrection through the coming weeks and into the rest of our lives. It includes 'articles' of accessible reflection, ways to celebrate resurrection and to continue the 'risen life', worship ideas, stories and personal experience, poetry, music and art, a home group/cell group course, literature and film, cartoons and humour etc, all designed to give a variety of points of entry to the theme of resurrection.
Living Easter Through the Year by John Pritchard was published by SPCK in September 2005 and is our 44785th best seller. The ISBN for Living Easter Through the Year is 9780281057092.

Although I found the plot likable, there were some things in it that made me question the time the story happened. It certainly felt like it did happen back in the 50's.
Archie is like a geyser with so much energy and adventure-seeking spirit in him that is just waiting to come out. Lucy's ability to reach out to others is in a way endearing. Or not,
Anyway, what I liked better was Lavinia and John's story unfolding after 50 years. i teared up a bit when John's letter was read:
"So I am left with nothing but to wish you happiness, my darling, to hope that any hurt I engendered healed quickly, that someone worthy of you won your heart and made you happy. If I were a better man I would hope that you forgot me. But I am not. I hope you remembered me, infrequently but kindly, because I know every day for the rest of my life I will have thought of you."

Even though he is supposedly in hiding since being acquitted in the death of Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman reportedly showed up on the site of auto accident and pulled the driver from an overturned truck. Police in Sanford where Zimmerman lives and where Martin was killed, didn't provide any details about how the crash happened or what Zimmerman was doing there at the time, but "pulled an individual from a truck that had rolled over" last week, according to ABC News.

During his murder trial, Zimmerman was famously accused of having a "hero complex," which may have prompted his interest in police work and the neighborhood watch. (Prosecutors called him a "wannbe cop" who was rejected when trying to apply to a police officer.) Investigators suggested in an FBI report that he may have followed Martin that fateful night, not because he was racist, but simply because he was looking to catch someone in the act of a crime and stop them. Now just days after a jury found him not guilty of being a vigilante, he finally found a real way to become a hero.
