- Sir Arthur (Thomas), known as Q . 1863–1944, British critic and novelist, who edited the Oxford Book of English Verse (1900)
16th letter of the classical Roman alphabet, from the Phoenician equivalent of Hebrew koph, qoph, which was used for the more guttural of the two "k" sounds in Semitic.
The letter existed in Greek, but was little used and not alphabetized; the stereotypical connection with -u- began in Latin. Anglo-Saxon scribes adopted the habit at first, but later used spellings with cw- or cu-. The qu- pattern returned to English with the Norman Conquest and had displaced cw- by c.1300. In some spelling variants of late Middle English, quh- also took work from wh-, especially in Scottish and northern dialects, e.g. Gavin Douglas, Provost of St. Giles, in his vernacular "Aeneid" of 1513:
Lyk as the rois in June with hir sueit smell
The marygulde or dasy doith excell.
Quhy suld I than, with dull forhede and vane,
With ruide engine and barrand emptive brane,
With bad harsk speche and lewit barbour tong,
Presume to write quhar thi sueit bell is rong,
Or contirfait sa precious wourdis deir?
Scholars use -q- alone to transliterate Semitic koph (e.g. Quran, Qatar, Iraq ). In Christian theology, Q has been used since 1901 to signify the hypothetical source of passages shared by Matthew and Luke, but not in Mark; in this sense probably it is an abbreviation of German Quelle "source."
surname, literally "John's (child);" see John. Phrase keep up with the Joneses (1913, American English) is from the title of a comic strip by Arthur R. Momand. The slang sense "intense desire, addiction" (1968) probably arose from earlier use of Jones as a synonym for "heroin," presumably from the proper name, but the connection, if any, is obscure. Related: Jonesing.
see mind one's p's and q's.
see Davy Jones's locker; keep up (with the Joneses).

Reiss Illustrations
Over the weekend I did a couple of Reiss illustrations, one of which was only my 2nd time of drawing men's fashion. I hope he doesn't look too effeminate!
As happens, I started drawing at a scale where the page wasn't going to be long enough so had to add on a little extension then try to mask the join. A bit blotchy but I can live with the 'fresco' look.
A lot of the drawing has got lost under the very dark blue-black of the jeans .. but that is probably more accurate in terms of the actual fashion item.

We celebrated a fantastic birthday for our Princess yesterday and her choice was to head to the Zoo! In the SNOW! Well off we went and might I add that it was truly magical! We loaded up a bag with snacks and a large jug with Hot Chocolate! Last time we went, we spent over 20.00 on Hot Chocolate alone and we of course wanted more than just the 1 cup. This way we made our own, brought insulated cups with caps and we were all set. The wagon allowed the kids to each take turns sitting and warming up if the wanted.
We all had so much fun and it is definitely something we plan on repeating again soon! Snacks included. Do you bring snacks with you to places that allow it? We figure it allows us to save money, eat healthier and even do more outings with the money saved.

Lewis Libby
Bush excels himself, quashing a prison sentence for one of his good ol' boy buddies. The standard excuse used for rich men facing a prison sentence is aired once again, "don't you realise how much he, his family and career have suffered because of this slur on his name ?"
it would be nice
to see justice when it comes to rich white people.
Scooter. Lol.
Not particularly. We can complain about cronyism as much as we like over here. It's a whole different level in the US though.
Bush isn't going to stand
for President again, so he can basically do as he likes. No one will think any worse of him than they already do.
this is absolutely fucking ridiculous
I hate 'untouchables'
I don't
understand the basis for the president having power like this, anyway.
it's shameless that he's used it, though...
the BBC version
and let's not forget that this trial was about manipulating intelligence in order to go into an illegal war in which thousands of people have been killed and billions of American tax-payers dollars have been 'awarded' in various 'defence' and rebuilding contracts to the same small group of cronies
I'm still royally hacked off about this
isn't anyone else?
I was when I was reading the paper
at lunchtime. It's an absolute joke. I'd be even more pissed if I was American. As Jacob Jones says, I don't understand why or how the President has the power to do this. Long live Party politics...
it's constitutional
United States Constitution, Article II, Section 2, which states that the President:
shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment.
The queen has the right of clemency in the UK too but then again Bush is not King
So much for the rule of law
I find it incredible.
I actually have some disbelieving respect for the sheer conviction Bush has that he is doing the right thing for his 'constituency'
Re Haliburton and the favourable contracts
being awarded. Halliburton offshored and moved their hq to Dubai so they don't have to pay tax on the billions of $ they were awarded in uncontested contracts. They were also found to have overcharged $1.8 billion
C'mon guys.... he still has that whole "damaged reputation" thing
I'll probably run into Scooter down at the parole office to give piss tests, eh?
What did you think was going to happen? That prosecution was a joke anyway - out of all the people they could've gone after for the Iraq war, they choose man whose crime was to lie about what he knew about how a CIA agent's name came to be leaked in a newspaper article about that agent's husband's WMD adventures in West Africa.
If he had gone to jail, then what? All the troops get bought home? The entire system comes crashing down? Or would fuck all have happened.
And fuck all will happen now. There'll be a big to-do now. Next month, you'll get the odd idle column in some broadsheet newspaper. This time next year people will ask each other 'Didn't something happen there once?'.
On balance, Bush probably thought it would be better, given that neither one of his two possible choices would have long term consequences, to appease the powerful people he needs to do his job (whatever that is nowadays) and let Libby go.
you seem to be excusing it
when at the very crux of this story is the fact that any servant of the people in the US be they CIA or a federal judge is a slave to the whim of the Executive's agenda
This man tried to discredit an intelligence officer's assessment of the 'clear and present danger' of Iraq and it's nuclear capabilities in order to push his bosses' own faulty intelligence as an excuse for war
then he lied about it in congressional court
all the hoo-har when Paris Hilton was released because she's a rich over-privileged celebrity and yet people seem to be passing this one off with a shrug even though Hilton actually did some jail time and Libby wont
and in the meantime American news media is frothing at the UK TERRORIST ATTACKS in self-righteous piety while they knuckle down for their 4th of July holiday and every Asian kid in Birmingham, Blackburn and Brixton is getting stopped and searched by Bobbies with sub-machine guns
oh what a wonderful world
One of the main aims
of the terrorists is to alienate (and exploit existing alienation within) asian communities to make them easier pickings for their bullshit ideology
Gun battle in Pakistan in a 'radical mosque' with 'militant students' seeking to enforce sharia law
that's not really the subject of the thread
this was about corruption and politics in the country that's preaching it's own export brand of Democracy, Liberty and the Rule of Law to the rest of the world
nobody pretends
democracy is perfect.
I think it's preferable to most other systems tho.
oh dear
this is not an either/or situation of taking sides
this is about an administration that is clearly hypocritical concerning its own supposedly high ideals
as for Democracy, I remember Hamas winning an election a while back...
so I guess you're right, it's not perfect - sometimes the people choose the bad guy
This is George W Bush we are talking about
he doesn't give a FUCK over whether he is hypocritical or not.
This is a government with Cheney. They are NOT GONNA CARE over whether people in Stockholm think they are hypocritical.
This administration for the few, and by the few. And as far as they are concerned anyone can go take a flying fuck
the best system is dictatorship by me.
what isn't the subject of the thread ?
ok anschul, I'll step out of my own thread and hand it over to you
sorry - I didn't mean it like that
you posted in reply to my comment which was a reply to Stealthy's comment and I wasn't quite sure how your comment was related to mine and to the subject of Lewis Libby having his sentence commuted by Bush
It's a fucking disgrace
but I've been saying that about most things Bush has done over the past six years so it's not really a shock to me.
It'd be nice if America is outraged by this.
why would they?
Clinton did the EXACT same thing....
he was a twat as well.
I really really dislike Clinton.
I would DEFINITELY vote
for some of the republican candidates over her.
Not Brownback though. And probably not Giuliani
I like some of his ideas.
But if he was the candidate he would probably do worse than Mondale....
so Gore. Is he ever gonna announce he is running?
is a cunt. Pure and simple.
I kinda like McCain. But not as much as I used to.
Ron Paul is ok, but with zero chance.
is a classic example of someone who is very competent and would probably be a good president, but who has lost himself on the campaign trail.
The fact that he is 72 doesn't help him either, which is a bit sad.
I don't neccassarily
Campaigns are filled with an awful lot of bullshit which isn't that relevant to how effective a President a Candidate might be.
McCain isn't gonna be the nominee at present, so he is allowing himself to be led to try and increase his viability. A bit sad.
wouldn't be elected.
And could possibly cost the Dems. the election, especially if Clinton is the candidate.
doesn't seem especially likely though.
It was Bush senior who pardoned all the Iran-Contra dudes though
and BEFORE trial too
check this guy
makes me wonder what Jobs scooter has lined up for the future
American Presidents
often pardon shady people.
He was found guilty
in a court of law of committing perjury though he denied it was he who leaked the name
In the US checks and balances the Judiciary is supposed to be the fulcrum of power that balances the Executive with the Legislative (both figuratively and in practice) - US Judges are democratically elected officials let's remember.
It's not healthy for one of those three branches to have too much power at the expense of the others
Or are you suggesting that Libby was taking the fall for Cheney as so does not deserve to be slapped because the big guy deserves a kicking?

Dr Oz: Women of War
Dr Oz's show on Women of War included a segment about the great work being done at the United Veterans Beacon House on Long Island. Doctor Oz said that it breaks his heart that there are nearly 13,000 homeless Women Vets on our streets, but the United Veterans Beacon House offers them housing, food, clothing, job resources and counseling. Here are the stories of four women that this amazing organization has helped.
Dr Oz: United Veterans Beacon House in Long Island
Dr Oz's first Female Vet was Evelyn Nowlyn. She said that the United Veterans Beacon House has helped her to put structure back into her life. Each chore has a structure that is similar to the military. For example, there is a checklist of exactly what you are to do in order to clean the bathroom, and this sequence helps to give her a state of order, though she said that she has always been meticulous. Evelyn said that when she was homeless, she did not have a bed to sleep in, a bathroom to clean, or any purpose – she just felt useless.

text: VERY interesting. I confess…I'm one of those moms who asked to be induced before her due date because I was uncomfortable and paranoid that I would go into labor in front of my second graders. I wouldn't do it again if I had the option – I feel like I missed out on the natural process of going into labor, and it really has nothing to do with the fact that my induction DID fail and result in a c-section. I will be having a repeat c-section with my second baby, not because I wasn't given the option, but because I was told by my nurse that the paperwork you have to sign to attempt a VBAC is extremely lengthy and very scary. She did have a VBAC and even she said that if she had known what that paperwork said ahead of time, she would NOT have gone through with it!I do wonder what doctors out there are performing c-sections at the request of their patients?! At what point do people think that they have the authority to make those kinds of decisions if they are not medically necessary, and why would you want to? I think a vaginal birth is such a wonderful, natural thing that I deeply regret not ever being able to experience (though I wouldn't trade the results of my c-section for the world!!!)

The pistol with the serial numbers filed off stabbed into the agent provocateur's crown
with malicious impatience. The carrier of the pistol shouted, "Bag the explosives and
don't turn around. I know you're an amateur dramatic."
The undercover special policeman knew the pistol man was with it and did as told. Said,
"Don't be linking whatever shit you're up to with me. I've got three wives on the go, two
pregnant, and subversion is imminent. Three years of graft you'll ruin."
"Why are you lot always after the ones trying to do good change? Fuck it, nevermind.
Pass the bag and count the lines in the floorboards. Find your own conscience when
reckoning comes. 'Cause it will, they'll throw you overboard too sunshine."
He handed over the bag. Said, "Whatever. Get the fuck out."
DI Johnny Massis exited without replying. He jogged down the fire escape, descending
footsteps like hammer blows on rusting anvil, pocketed the gun and got in his car. Took
a long look around at the night silence, started the engine and slowly and carefully cruised
through the deserted streets. The black vehicle following had no plates but Massis couldn't
see it anyway.
It had all started when Massis took a statement from a ten year old who'd told him that
she'd been passed around a pedophile network that ran throughout the length and breadth
of the country. She was asked to look through the mug shot books of the local beasts. She
glimpsed the local and national papers in the background and positively ID'd perpetrators
from all walks of life. He asked for names and swallowed sick in his throat. He excused
himself and vomited in the gents.
He drenched himself from the cold water tap and screamed and punched the walls. The
childrens home the girl had come from was the same one that twenty eight dead people had
gone to – all twenty eight former residents dead from coroner ruled suicide. All barbiturate
laced and suffocated with pillows after they'd passed out, bar one who shot himself in the
head four times, tied himself up and then jumped off a bridge into the canal. Shit stretched
decades. He'd been warned off linking the deaths and told he'd face psychiatric evaluation
if he carried on believing in conspiracy theoretical crackpot nonsense. He believed the girl
was telling the truth and at that point he knew his mortgage and pension didn't even
concern him anymore.
He marched to the Chief Inspector whos ruddy poker face spouted about a briefing at eight
am sharp. Massis made eyeball then left to knock himself to sleep with three litres of
whiskey that didn't touch the sides.
He made the start of the briefing and excused himself immediately, spewing blood and
yellow bile in the toilets. Fought off collapse and headed back down the corridor until
those once familiar faces trounced out of the room signaling the briefing over. He saw
some furious, some relieved, some indifferent and he could never be sure of any of them
He caught up with DS Tavistock. Said, "What'd I miss?"
The gruff copper ground his back teeth. Replied, "Investigation over. Orders of national
"Not a fucking chance."
"Goes right to the top, seems to me. One person specifically we are not to storm is the
right honourable cuntface. Get me?"
"Clear as day. See you, Tavistock. Thanks."
Tavistock nodded and walked away with clenched fists and a paling complexion.
Massis grabbed his clean pistol and harried over to the politician's constituency home.
Pistol whipped him until he coughed up the list of members to the club. He forced the
right hon. at gunpoint to write a signed apology and then executed him with two clean
Drove back to his house to retrieve his passport. Saw rapist nonce spray painted across
the brickwork and knew the smear had started already. Entered his house with the gun
drawn and his eyes watered at the smell of excrement, everything decimated except the
TV set which was blaring out the ten o'clock news. The newsreader read out a report of
him being accused of sadistically assaulting a woman he'd never even met, followed by
a rogue cop now wanted appeal. Climbed upstairs through the ransack and gripped tight
to the passport, not having the time to wonder why it was left there. Sprinted back into
his vehicle still unaware of the black unmarked.
Massis remained unaware he'd been followed to his drug dealing snitch's semi-detached
semi-respectable house bang in the centre of the semi-funded council estate. He never
even knew local councils had bugged the damn lampposts. He apologized for barging in
on the stoned knock out merchant, Chaser. Chaser was chilled, "No worries man. What
you want?"
"Roll the camera"
The smile flicked to perplexion but Chaser filmed and listened with intensity. "Now?
You want this going live on the web now?"
Massis considered for a second. "Give it eight hours. I'll be done by then and out of
the country. Call it eight hours from now. Any funny shit then just go for it anyway
"Hell of a story, this sickness."
"You've never been more right, Chaser." Massis squeezed the dealers shoulder and
left, driving hard.
The occupants of the black car slipped into Chaser's house via the back door and
deliberately scattered bullet holes into his torso and furniture to make it look an
amateurish thug killing. They caught up with Massis on the motorway via satellite
relay with ease.
Massis drove on autopilot towards to the security services building as the first stop.
Once that was burning he planned to move onto special branch and then parliament.
He wondered who the establishment would blame for his actions via what narrative
that suited them.
Out of curiosity, the occupants of the black unmarked asked the handlers how they
were going to spin the explosions in the press. They were told the narrative was
already waiting. They shrugged and carried on the pursuit, looking forward to the
fireworks with a professional detachment.
Johnny Massis dismissed the black unmarked as a figment of paranoia and unscrewed
the cap from the whiskey bottle and gulped the firewater like elixir. He thought to
himself about the red faces of the complicit or disinterested and or scared who clung
to self-preservation as an excuse and hoped they'd see forever warped reflections of
themselves flickering in his fireballs as he hit one hundred and twenty and pushing for

Visual outcomes and patient satisfaction with a trifocal diffractive intraocular lens
Session Details
Session Title: Pseudophakic IOLs: Multifocal I
Session Date/Time: Sunday 08/10/2017 | 08:00-10:00
Paper Time: 08:00
Venue: Room 2.1

Abstract Details
To evaluate visual outcomes following implantation of a trifocal diffractive intraocular lens (IOL) and to analyze their correlation with patient satisfaction and ease of performing daily tasks.
King Fahd University Hospital
This was a prospective study enrolling 80 eyes of 40 patients undergoing cataract surgery with implantation of trifocal IOL AT LISA. Visual and refractive outcomes were evaluated during a 3-month follow-up. Postoperatively, a questionnaire was used to evaluate patient satisfaction with regard to surgical outcome, spectacle independence, perception of photic phenomena, and ease of performing some vision-related activities.
After the surgery, 92% of the patients could perform their daily activities without problems. The mean spectacle independence scores for reading, doing computer work, and for distance were 10.33 ± 12.47, 5.71 ± 11.90, and 3.92 ± 9.77, respectively (scale: 0 = no spectacles needed; 40 = spectacles always needed). No correlation was found between spectacle independence and visual outcome (-0.101 ≤ r ≤ 0.244, p ≥ 0.087). Mean scores (0 = no symptoms; 40 = strong symptoms) for glare at night, ghost images, and halos were 15.15 ± 12.02, 4.49 ± 7.92, and 13.34 ± 10.82, respectively.
Implantation of the AT LISA IOL after cataract surgery provides effective visual restoration associated with a minimal level of photic phenomena, a positive impact on the performance of vision-related daily activities, and a high level of postoperative patient satisfaction.

Virginia's Major Construction Specialists
Professional Contractors Group, Inc. has been called upon for major construction throughout eastern Virginia communities. One of our biggest renovations took place when they restored the historic St. Paul Catholic High School in Portsmouth that was built in 1891.
Below is the first hand account from the team, complete with photos. This particular project earned Professional Contractors Group, Inc. a nomination for the Best Renovated/Historic Rehabilitation award.
1. Two of the walls had been painted with the marine paint when they were interior walls and we could not remove the paint without destroying the brick.
2. Tiles had been applied to two sides of the building and removing the cement that held the tiles created some surface damage to the bricks.
3. Experts advising us on the brick work noted that the "good" side had been sand blasted and was showing signs of deterioration. As a result we were granted approval by the city and state to paint the exterior.
The team is extremely pleased with the outcome of the building and proud to present it as a candidate for the Best Renovated/Historic Rehabilitation award.
1891 St. Paul Catholic High School Portsmouth
The 6,000 square foot property was built in 1891 as a school by the nearby St.Paul's Catholic Church in the Olde Towne Section of Portsmouth. The building was purchased from the City of Portsmouth by the 441 Washington Street LLC in August 2005. Construction started in September 2005 and was completed with issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy in mid September 2006. Restoration of the exterior of the building was performed based on old photographs and the interior restoration was based on evidence found during the rehabilitation process. After removal of layers of ceiling tiles, floor tiles and cement we found evidence of wainscoted ceilings, maple hardwood floors, and the location of the original center stairway.
One of the most difficult and disappointing aspects of the refurbishing was to find that the outside brick walls would have to be painted. We had always planned to replace broken bricks and point the building to maintain the brick as it had been. However, three things prevented us from doing that.

Patient Forms
Upon entering our office, our receptionist will welcome you as a member of our family. We will request that you complete a few simple patient forms. This paperwork provides us with your health history and information on your condition. If you visit us on-line you can simply print out the forms, complete them at your convenience and bring them with you to your appointment.
Next, you will have a consultation with Dr. Amodeo to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Dr. Amodeo to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations and to help him determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
After your consultation, Dr. Amodeo will perform a complete chiropractic examination testing your reflexes and flexibility. Other standard neurological, orthopedic, postural, and physical tests will be performed as well. Nothing will be done in our office without your consent and there is no need to undress.
X-Ray Studies
Depending on your specific condition, we may take X-rays as well. X-rays help us develop the most effective treatment plan for you, and alert us to any serious spinal conditions.
Once the information is collected and examinations are performed, Dr. Amodeo will, in most instances, ask you to return so that he can thoroughly review your results and give you a detailed report of all findings. He will also answer any questions you may have at that time including:
- How can you help me?
- How often do I need to come in?
- What will my treatment cost?
Most people are amazed once they see their X-rays up close. In some cases, they can even identify their misalignments and degeneration themselves.

Intrinsic and extrinsic factors, including ultraviolet irradiation, lead to visible signs of skin aging.Objective:
We evaluated molecular changes occurring in photoexposed and photoprotected skin of white women 20 to 74 years of age, some of whom appeared substantially younger than their chronologic age.Methods:
Histologic and transcriptomics profiling were conducted on skin biopsy samples of photoexposed (face and dorsal forearm) or photoprotected (buttocks) body sites from 158 women. 23andMe genotyping determined genetic ancestry.Results:
Gene expression and ontologic analysis revealed progressive changes from the 20s to the 70s in pathways related to oxidative stress, energy metabolism, senescence, and epidermal barrier; these changes were accelerated in the 60s and 70s. The gene expression patterns from the subset of women who were younger-appearing were similar to those in women who were actually younger.Limitations:
Broader application of these findings (eg, across races and Fitzpatrick skin types) will require further studies.Conclusions:
This study demonstrates a wide range of molecular processes in skin affected by aging, providing relevant targets for improving the condition of aging skin at different life stages and defining a molecular pattern of epidermal gene expression in women who appear younger than their chronologic age.

|[VOTE] BatchEE as an incubated project
|Mon, 30 Sep 2013 04:52:22 GMT
Since discussion about the BatchEE seems done, I'd like to call a vote for BatchEE to become an incubated project. The proposal is pasted below, and also available at: https://wiki.apache.org/incubator/BatchEEProposal Let's keep this vote open for three business days, closing the voting on Thursday 10/03. [ ] +1 Accept BatchEE into the Incubator [ ] +0 Don't care. [ ] -1 Don't accept BatchEE because... = BatchEE, JBatch Implementation = === Abstract === BatchEE will be an ASL-licensed implementation of the JBatch Specification which is defined as JSR-352 (for version 1.0). === Proposal === BatchEE specification is an effort for defining a standard API and way to write batches in Java. It is integrated with JavaEE (JTA, CDI....) but works out of the box in a standalone environment. BatchEE Project is responsible for implementing the runtime container contract for the JBatch specification. Besides the implementation, BatchEE Project will implement the core built-in components that further simplifies the developer complex interactions with other Java EE specific enterprise operations. For example, it will define default reader/processor/writer for jdbc, jpa, xml/json/flat files... === Background === Until today writing batches in java meant using a proprietary framework and link to JavaEE was quite limited (or missing). JBatch defines an API fixing this issue and now developpers need a fix. === Rationale === Current JBatch specificatin is released, and only the reference implementation is available but not really intended to be maintained. Moreover multiple Apache projects (geronimo, TomEE, ...) will need an Apache compatible Jbatch implementation to go ahread and implement JavaEE 7. === Initial Goals === The initial goals of the BatchEE Project are * Fully implement the JSR-352 specification. * Attracts a community around the current code base. * Active relationship with the other dependent projects to further develop some useful batch components. == Current Status == === Meritocracy === Initial developer of the project is familiar with the meritocracy principles of Apache. He knows that the open source gets power from its great developers and freedom. He also developed some other open source projects. We will follow the normal meritocracy rules also with other potential contributors. === Community === There is a great community within the OpenEJB, OpenWebBeans, Geronimo and TomEE Apache projects. BatchEE project is very related with these projects and in the some cases, it enhances these projects. We are thinking that BatchEE project gets strong community because it complete the needed frameworks of a java developper and unifies the using of these projects. It simplifies the developer effort for building complex enterprise applications batches. === Core Developers === BatchEE project has been developing by the IBM then forked by Romain Manni-Bucau as a sole contributor. === Alignment === BacthEE project will be a candidate for use in Geronimo AS and TomEE as a default JBatch implementation. Other projects could benefit from the BatchEE project as a general purpose component and context management. BatchEE project is closely aligned with the OpenEJB and OpenWebBeans projects perfectly. It depends on these projects to satisfy its requirements (mainly tests). == Known Risks == === Orphaned products === Even if the initial committer of the project has no plan to leave the active development, it must necessary to get other committers for the project. So that it less dependent on the single developer. The source code of the project is well documented and new committers could easily grasp the details. Initial committer continues to support actively this project. === Inexperience with Open Source === Initial developer have worked on open source project before, including OpenEJB/TomEE, OpenWebBeans, XBean... === Homogeneous Developers === Altough the initial committer of the project is single, developer team may be increased within the active project lifecycle from the different locations. === Reliance on Salaried Developers === Project currently has no salaried developers. All the commitment is done by the volunteer developer. === Relationships with Other Apache Products === BatchEE will likely be used in the Geronimo and Apache TomEE. OpenWebBeans could bring added value for tests and integration with CDI. OpenEJB will be great to pass EE tests (JTA is mandatory and CDi a must have). === An Excessive Fascination with the Apache Brand === BatchEE project initial committer is the strong supporter of the open source projects. Initial committer of the project thinks that ASF has great place that provides wider colloboration and support of the open source project and it respects meritrocracy. Also, BatchEE project will surely be embraced by the Geronimo, TomEE, Camel and other Apache projects. BatchEE project is closely related with the some of the other Apache projects. == Documentation == Currently the main documentation of the project is contained in the README.md in the source repository (see next part). == Initial Source == The source for BatchEE project that is to be imported is currently within the project at https://github.com/rmannibucau/batchee.git and is all ASL2.0 licensed. It is based on a fork of the JBatch RI (developped by IBM) which said it was ok to fork the RI: http://apache-incubator-general.996316.n3.nabble.com/Re-DISCUSS-jbatch-impl-Apache-td36529.html == External Dependencies == All dependencies have Apache compatible licenses. == Required Resources == Mailing lists * email@example.com * email@example.com * email@example.com * firstname.lastname@example.com Git repository * https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/batchee.git Issue Tracking * https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BATCHEE Other Resources * Wiki == Initial Committers == || '''Name''' || '''Email''' || '''CLA''' || || Romain Manni-Bucau || rmannibucau at gmail dot com || yes || || Gerhard Petracek || gpetracek at apache dot org || yes || || Jean-Louis Monteiro || jlmonteiro at apache dot org || yes || || Stephen Connolly || stephen dot alan dot connolly at gmail dot com || yes || || David Blevins || dblevins at apache dot org || yes || == Sponsors == We kindly request the Apache Incubator PMC to be the sponsor for this project.

TGI Friday's makes that Jack Daniels sauce that is to die for - and now you can make it right in your very own kitchen! Here is how to make Jack Daniels sauce that you can use on chicken, steak, wings, or anything else:
(Yields approximately 1 cup of sauce)
Things You'll Need
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 tablespoon Tabasco Sauce (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Red Wine Vinegar
- 1/4 cup Jack Daniel's Whiskey
- 2 cups brown sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 4 beef bouillon cubes
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- Small sauce pan
- Wooden spoon
Video of the Day
In a small sauce pan, add in the liquid ingredients: ¼ cup of water, 2 tablespoons of red vinegar, 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, and if you like, Tabasco sauce. Tabasco gives the sauce a bit of a smoky kick, which some people might not like.
Put the sauce pan on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Stir well.
Add in the dry ingredients: 1 teaspoon onion powder, 2 cups of brown sugar, and 4 cubes of beef bouillon. Stir well to dissolve ingredients; it will take awhile for the sugar and the bullion to dissolve completely.
Bring the sauce to a boil for a few moments after the sugar has completely dissolved.
Bring the heat back down to a low simmer; allow the sauce to simmer for 15-20 minutes to cook off the alcohol in the whiskey.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Don't allow the sauce for sit for too long, or it will develop a skin and may begin to harden. If this happens, pop the sauce in the microwave for 15 seconds to make it liquid again.

It seems yesterday was a good day for pictures. To start with I uploaded a shed-load of pictures from my time in Japan to the blogpress site, and have scheduled it so more will be added daily so do feel free to have a gander at those.
Also the other day out of the blue I combined to Japanese words in my head and thought it sounded quite funny; とても卵 (Totemo Tamago). Literally translated as very egg, at roughly the same time I had a picture of a boss-type egg in my head and thought it'd make for an interesting T-Shirt design. So yesterday I sat down, opened up Flash and drew it out. It's currently on Cafepress if you do fancy buying one (if you want me to put it on a different coloured shirt let me know and I'll see what I can do).
Finally, lately I started playing a Japanese (language) MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) in an effort to keep up learning Japanese from different non-textbook sources. Mabinogi (マビノギ) is pretty much your general level-up type rpg, but as far as helping my language goes … well, I'm thankful I have a dictionary and luck. Anyone fancying a go at Mabinogi, have your character on the モリアン (morian) server so we can help each other out.

It's called Grimm Brothers Brewhouse, but a group of sisters — related through beer instead of blood — did the brewing Thursday.
Local women from Grimm Brothers and City Star Brewing congregated at the Grimm Brothers Brewhouse brewing site to celebrate International Women's Day with malt and hops. Their mission: to make an American Pale Ale named after one of the Western Frontier's most controversial women — Calamity Jane.
Jane shattered the status quo in the 19th century by wearing men's clothing and performing duties as a professional scout. Likewise, the women at the brewery in Loveland solely handled the brewing — a task conventionally attributed with burly bearded men in flannel.
"Brewing is a hard field to get into," said Laura Pilato, who started slinging beer in a taproom years ago and eventually became the head brewer for Grimm Brothers. Speaking on the number of women in high-ranking brewery positions, she said "it's definitely unique."
But the women here — most of whom work behind the counter or behind the scenes at the two breweries — had no qualms with heavy lifting.
This year marks the first collaboration between the two companies on behalf of the International Women's Brew Day, which coincides with the Pink Boots Collaboration Brew Day.
The Pink Boots Collaboration urges women worldwide to come together to brew a brand new beer using an annual hop blend.
City Star co-owner Whitney Way said her company has participated in the event since 2015 and decided to collaborate with Pilato to create a beer recipe based on the Pink Boots hop blend, featuring a variety of hops designed for floral flavor. To accompany that blend, they added pomelo zest and pink peppercorn for an added kick.
"The pomelo and peppercorn should really accent the floral taste," Way said.
With Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Proud Mary" wailing in the background, Pilato guided others through the brewing process. She said bringing new women into the brewing process will encourage more to enter the traditionally male occupation.
"Collaboration is a huge deal in brewing anyway," Pilato said. "It's only a matter of time before women are more accepted here. Most of us start in the taproom."
After fermentation, the 2018 Calamity Jane kegs will roll into both Grimm Brothers and City Star on March 31, helping to kick off Colorado Craft Beer Week.

Romance is in the air in Queen of Hearts Deluxe, a 5 reel, 10 payline slot powered by Novomatic. Available on all devices, it comes with a bonus feature that awards up to 40 free spins. Watch out for Cupid and his magical arrow that can turn multiple symbols wild on each free spin. Play, on all devices, from between 10p and £50 per spin.
Novomatic has obviously tried hard to make Queen of Hearts Deluxe look and sound a bit more romantic than its usual fruit machine re-boots – the results are decidedly mixed. The reels include A to 9 playing cards which are joined by a ring, a golden crown and a fairy tale castle. All of these symbols pay 50 times your total stake if you land 5 of them on a payline. The top standard symbol is the yellow rose – 2, 3, 4 or 5 of these in combination will get you a payout equal to 0.5, 5, 30 or 300 times your total bet.
Joining the standard symbols is the beating red heart which is the wild – it replaces all other symbols apart from the scatter. You're guaranteed a payout every time a wild lands on the reels. Land 5 in a row and you'll pocket an award worth 1,000 times your total stake.
The final symbol is the Queen of Hearts herself who is the scatter – land 3, 4 or 5 of her anywhere on the same spin and you'll win 5, 20 or 400 times your total bet. You'll also trigger the Free Games feature and with it, 8, 15 or 20 free spins.
Watch out on each free spin as Cupid can float onto the reels, fire arrows from his bow and turn a random selection of symbols wild. You can re-trigger another round of free spins too (giving you up to 40) so hope to see her majesty make a second appearance.
As far as volatility goes, Queen of Hearts Deluxe sits somewhere in the middle offering balanced payouts. Queen of Hearts Deluxe isn't exactly a stunner when it comes to design. The visuals are pretty basic and the soundtrack is the familiar bangs and bleeps affair which sounds like an old ZX Spectrum game loading.
The game does come with Novomatic's usual high octane game play though – if you enjoy simple, fast-paced action with a potentially big-hitting feature round, then you'll want an audience with the Queen of Hearts Deluxe. If you like queens, Playtech's Queen of Wands is recommended. If it's romance you're after, Microgaming's Immortal Romance tells a darker tale of love.

I would like to hear from your readers about their Schnauzers. I have recently adopted a Schnauzer mix and he is so amazing. Do all of them talk and are they all so amazingly full of life and personality?
Cereal Bags for Kitchen Chores
Since I eat cereal for breakfast, I have the wax paper bags left over when the box is empty. This wax paper is just as good as the paper you buy in the roll. I pull the seams of the empty bag apart, smooth the paper, and fold it. When I need wax paper I cut to size.
Use Microwave Timer for Accuracy
When I make jams or jellies using the Sure-Jell method, my recipe calls to bring it to rolling boil that cannot be stirred down for exactly one minute. Instead of trying to guess or use a kitchen timer, I just use my microwave timer.

Get Rid of Extra Stuff in Home
One thing I noticed in a movie based in Iceland that I just saw, is that there was a noticeable lack of extra STUFF in their homes and other places. We as Americans have so much extra stuff, but I am trying to use that vision of a stripped-down environment to inspire me.
Save On Watering By Collecting Rain Water
Place a bucket under the window a/c to catch the water or insert a long hose that reaches your plants. I also keep a big tub ready for downpours to catch the rain water, which I use for plants or to wash my car. My grandmother used to wash our hair with rain water.
Storing and Using Spices
Always store spices in a cool, dry, dark place. The rule of thumb for how long spices stay fresh is: 3 to 4 years for whole spices and seeds, 2 to 3 years for ground spices, 1 to 3 years for leafy herbs, and 1 to 2 years for seasoning blends.
Microwave Replacement Parts
I am not sure if anyone can help, however it is worth trying. I am looking for the touch pad of a control panel for an old Amana microwave range, model RS 571 B. Does anyone know where I might find one? Thanks.

Homemade Baking Powder
This is so handy and easy to make if you are needing baking powder and find that you don't have any.
Fruit Soup
My husband remembers this fondly from his childhood summers. He says he and his sister would nag his mother to make this for them. When she would finally make it, it never lasted longer than a day. Then they would start nagging her to make it all over again.
Fried Chicken Baked in Dill Pickle Juice
I never knew what to do about all that tasty dill pickle juice after the pickles were gone. I did some searching on the internet and found this. People thought I was nuts, until they tried it. I get frequent requests for this dish now.

There was a public holiday here in NSW recently and the House of Chopsticks decided a trip to the nearby Port Stephens was called for. In the interests of promoting this lovely part of the world, (Sydneysiders! Life outside the City!) here's a little travelog.
Staying in Nelson Bay seemed the obvious choice as it's the most densely populated town-let with the largest range of accommodation (well, largest for a last minute booking – maybe that speaks volumes in itself?), but the real beauty of the area is all around the bay. The rugged, rocky southern side of the peninsula is grandly wild – where it isn't covered in allegedly the largest moving sand dune in the Southern Hemisphere.
One of the things that's a given while you're here is sandboarding on the famous Stockton Dunes, where you hire a tiny plastic board and are 4WD hauled out to favoured, precipitous spots, ready to spend as long as you like whizzing down ridiculously steep slopes. Well, as long as your legs hold out, what with the walking back up to the top each time. Mr C was dubious about the appeal of this at first, but was soon shrieking like a girl as he plummeted down.
Check out the height of that dune! We went with Sand Dune Safaris, but there's plenty of companies to choose from and you can just rock up at the Lower Car Park, Birubi Point, Anna Bay without booking.
And yes, there really are camels, though sadly not wild ones; they were packed up and sent back to their farm home at the end of each day of plodding tourists along the sands.
But of course it was the food I was most fixated on. No trip to the area can be complete without a trip to Murray's Brewery – I note they're doing wines as well these days – and they do a brisk trade of a public holiday weekend, I can tell you. Their Moon Boy ale was a winner with us, as was their most basic (cheapest at $18) garlic pizza:
They were doing a roaring trade that weekend, and we hadn't booked a table, so we ended up, as did many others, happily picnicked near their vines, under the shady trees.
As to Nelson Bay itself, it's a fair enough little place. For a relatively small town there is a range of pretty reasonable eateries, alongside the usual seaside offerings. There's good breakfast and coffee options all along the front, near the Tourist Info office, and a couple of streets in from the Marina are popular cafes recommended to us by several shop keepers. We ate at Sandpipers Restaurant, a nice enough choice but I don't recall what I ate so…Mr C enjoyed his prawn hotpot, usually a starter but ordered as a main. Through 'yum' noises, he commented that its richness could've done with a little something green to set it off. I was disappointed that the wholefood cafe Essence on Donald was closed for the public holiday – as they stock foods from Ritual Restaurant (of which more later) and I was ready to pay in blood for their kimchee.
Much is made of the local prawns and oysters – next time we'll try the Fishermans Wharf and the intriguing sounding 'Bubs'. But this time we were saving ourselves for our dinner at Ritual. And I'll tell you about that, next time.

It seems totally harmless, even though deep down we know that we shouldn't. We start to reason with ourselves 'But it's just this one time… I have been eating good all week! One take-out wouldn't hurt'. But the truth is that it might hurt. And we don't know when.
I recently stumbled upon a study that clearly shows how one single meal high in saturated fat is able to cause insulin resistance and increase the fat content of the liver. To perform the study, healthy, slim men were given a palm oil drink with a fat content similar to that of two cheeseburgers with bacon and a large portion of French fries. The scientists then used magnetic resonance spectroscopy to observe the liver metabolism and track the storage of sugar and fat. The study found that just one portion of high fat had a detrimental effect on liver and triggered insulin resistance. In healthy people. What happens if the liver metabolism is already impaired? It only creates the further damage.
What is Insulin Resistance?
Insulin resistance is the main precursor of type II Diabetes. It is a condition in which the cells fail to respond to insulin released as the result of sugar consumption. In a healthy organism, insulin is produced once the glucose is released in the bloodstream. The main function of insulin is to deliver glucose to the cells, where it is used for energy. When that happens, the level of glucose in the blood starts to reduce. But under the condition of insulin resistance, the cells cannot uptake the glucose efficiently, and the high levels of glucose keep circulating in the blood, forcing pancreas to produce even more insulin, which still cannot manage all that sugar, and ultimately it leads to high blood insulin levels too. This causes various symptoms and also impairs normal body functions in many ways. In general, insulin resistance leads to impaired reuptake of glucose by muscles and other cells and leads to increased fat deposition, including accumulation of fat in the liver. All of these increase your chances of developing diabetes and becoming obese.
What is Saturated Fat?
Saturated fats are simple fat molecules with a single bond – they are saturated with hydrogen molecules. Because of their lack of double bonds that the other types of fat have, saturated fats are the most stable and remain solid at room temperature. Unfortunately, they can increase your low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or bad cholesterol, thus damaging the arteries and leading to heart disease, stroke, obesity and diabetes.
Sources of saturated fat include:
- animal products – meat, poultry, fish, dairy (also contain cholesterol).
- some plant oils – palm, palm kernel, coconut (do not contain cholesterol).
The research concerning the danger of consuming saturated fats is quite controversial, but this latest study seems pretty convincing. In any case, it seems sensible to reduce the amount of saturated fat consumed, both in a day and at one sitting.
But how much is too much?
The American Heart Association recommends that the saturated fat intake is about 13 g a day for a 60 kg person eating 2000 kcal a day. That equals 5-6% of calories consumed from saturated fats or 120 kcal from saturated fats. Because the recommendations are just as diverse as the opinions on the entire topic, some sources suggest that up to 24 g of saturated fat can be eaten in a day.
Let's now see how much saturated fat there is in different foods.
Values are given for 100 g of product:
- Turkey – 1 g
- Chicken – 2 g
- Ham – 2 g
- Cottage cheese – 2 g
- Milk, whole – 2g
- Salmon – 2 g
- Duck – 3 g
- Egg – 3 g
- Beef – 6 g
- Sardines – 6 g
- Pork – 7 g
- Tuna – 8 g
- Lamb – 10 g
- Sausage (frankfurters, pork) – 10 g
- Fried bacon – 16 g
- Salami – 20 g
- Cheddar cheese – 21 g
- Cream cheese – 21-30 g
- Butter – 53 g
The more detailed list can be seen here. But as you can see, you can eat plenty of good food without going overboard. The more you stick to fruit and veggies + lean meats and fish or better yet, legumes & pulses (beans, lentils), the less saturate fat you consume. You can avoid saturate fats by avoiding large amounts of processed meats and dairy, especially cheese and butter.
Now, what about the fast food?
- McDonald's Hamburger – 3 g
- McDonald's Cheeseburger – 5 g
- McDonald's Double Cheeseburger – 11 g
- McDonald's Big Mac – 10 g
- McDonald's Mc Chicken – 3.5 g
- McDonald's Chicken Nuggets (4 pc) – 2 g
- McDonald's World's Famous Fries (small) – 1.5 g
- McDonald's World's Famous Fries (large) – 3.5 g
- McDonald's Mc Café Strawberry Shake – 10 g
- Pizza Hut Medium Italian Margherita – 2.5 g (per slice) – 20 g/whole pizza
- Pizza Hut Medium Italian Meat Feast – 3.1 g (per slice) – 24.8 g/whole pizza
- Pizza Hut Medium Italian Chicken Supreme – 1.7 g (per slice) – 13.6 g/whole pizza
Know your take-away, too.
In the study conducted for SafeFood.eu researchers found that a portion of egg fried rice from Chinese take-away on average contained 3 g of saturated fat, which is about 15% of guideline daily amount (GDA). Beef curry was found to have the highest saturated fat content – an average of 10 g per portion, or 50% of GDA. The starters were found to have an average of 5 g saturated fat per portion (25% GDA).
The situation seems to be worse with Indian take away. A similar study performed for SafeFood.eu found that an average portion of Chicken Tikka Masala and Chicken Korma had over 130% of recommended daily saturated fat allowance, while Chicken Jalfrezi contained about 50% of GDA for saturated fat. An average portion of Pilau rice contained 14% GDA for saturated fat and Peshwari naan contained 16%, while a portion of Poppadoms had about 6% GDA.
Now that we know how much saturated fat we need or rather allowed per day and see how much there is in different food, it's time to wonder what was the amount of saturated fat given to the subjects in the study?
The review of the study specifies that the fat content was similar to that of two cheeseburgers with bacon and a large portion of French fries. Using the above information, we see that cheeseburgers and large fries make up 13.5 g of fat. We don't know how much bacon they used, but it will probably get us to 15-20 g altogether. That is almost the entire GDA, depending on which recommendations we take.
Bottom line
Eating the entire GDA of saturated fat in one sitting may be a very bad idea. It wrecks havoc on your metabolism increasing insulin resistance, which leads to high sugar and high insulin levels in blood, which in turn makes your risks of developing high cholesterol, heart disease and diabetes skyrocket. Although the team Prof. Roden 'suspects that healthy people, depending on genetic predisposition, can easily manage this direct impact of fatty food on the metabolism', he does suggest that 'long-term consequences for regular eaters of such high-fat meals can be far more problematic'. And that is exactly the kind of problem that we do not want. So better be safe than sorry.


text: I guess this is pretty subjective but here goes: I am about to build a PC to sit under the TV (Tosh 36ZP). I already have a nice DVD player (region 2 only) so lthough the PC will have a DVD drive, it won't be used to play loads of movies. It won't be used to play all the latest games either. We are looking more towards millionaire when the family comes round and stuff like that. It will be connected to the Internet (via a 4mb connection) and will mean that we can all sit around the TV when we do the shopping etc and will also be connected into the amp for playing back MP3s etc. It will also have access to the rest of the network when needed but this is just so I can move files to and from. So what card? Being a large (ish) screen I am guessing I will need something decent and will be connecting to one of the SCARTS (s-video?) so I am now open to sugestions. Thanks

You must have seen this message when you tried to watch restricted YouTube videos on your iPad or laptop, from outside the US.
The reason for that is that the uploader (not YouTube) has restricted your non-US IP address from watching the video, based on the IP address of your country of origin. This has nothing to do with internet censorship, ISP blocks or government-mandated web filters (for those in the UK). It has more to do with simple economics, the Hollywood profit industry, and your own IP address.
Big TV executives, cable network operators and movie production studios -- both in the US and UK -- place what could be called unfair restrictions on who can watch their TV shows and movies online. For the most part, American television shows on certain YouTube channels can be viewed only by US audiences, while others located outside the US are not allowed to play or watch them.
In technical terms, this is called a geo-location block or geographic IP block.
Several well-known US media companies simply block you from accessing their videos if your IP address shows that you're trying to watch their videos from a foreign country (Remember that your IP address is publicly visible to all sites you visit unless your iPad has an anonymous browsing app).
Even if you are an American citizen traveling outside the country, you can still face such annoying blocks if your iPad internet service does not have a US IP address. By the way, this can happen not just with YouTube videos but several other video-on-demand services such as Netflix, Hulu and BBC iPlayer TV, among others.
So if you live outside the US (or UK) and want to watch American YouTube movies, the latest blockbuster, or popular TV show, then an iPad VPN is the best way to "unblock" such websites, bypass firewall rules, and watch your favorite streaming videos without restrictions.
There are three reasons why a Virtual Private Network or VPN is better than an iPad proxy:
- VPN gives you unlimited bandwidth to watch online videos in High Definition
- VPN is far more secure than a proxy because it hides your IP address in real time
- VPN lets you choose your own secure & encrypted IP address in any country

Hi all,
I'm quite new to linux and am trying to mount my windows network drives on boot to my new Debian 9.3.0
Currently, I can mount the drive to the directory I created /media/downloads after boot using the following command
sudo mount.cifs //192.168.1.1/Downloads /media/downloads -o user=guest
192.168.1.1 being my windows server, that share has sharing enabled for everybody on my home network with read/write permissions. However I'd like to have this mounted every time Linux starts. I've tried the following in /etc/fstab/
//192.168.1.1/Downloads /media/downloads cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=uft8 0 0
However after using mount -a it returns the following error
mount error(13): Permission denied.
Quite confused as to why it can't be auto mounted on boot but can be temporary mounted by using the before mentioned command.
I've done some googling of Linux Questions, however it seems everybody else is being smart and requiring a username/password to access to the share instead of just allowing everybody on the home network read/write. So I guess the question is can I get away without requiring a username/password on the windows machine (that currently doesn't have an admin password).
Also those commands and recommendations I got from this link, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently including the troubling shoot too. I've been told it should have worked since ubuntu comes from Debian but it hasn't .

On the walls of a bathroom stall at Virginia Tech appeared on Monday a message that stated "I will be here 11/11/2015 to kill all Muslims", says USA Today College.
Tanushri Shankar, president of the Student Government Association at Virginia Tech confirmed for the same source that students didn't even know about the threat until Thursday, when an email alert was sent to all of them, including staff and faculty titled "Situational Awareness – Seeking Assistance."
The Police Department started an investigation
On Monday, Nov. 2, 2015, Virginia Tech Police Department received a report concerning graffiti that had been left inside a bathroom stall in Price Hall. The graffiti stated "I will be here 11/11/2015 to kill all muslims (sic)." The Virginia Tech Police Department continues to investigate this matter. We are making the community aware of this graffiti and seeking the community's assistance.", was the content of the email.
"My heart aches. It aches for the students being chastised for their religion. It aches for the university that so desperately needs a change. But mostly, my heart aches for the fact that this email didn't surprise me that much.", said Shankar, obvious upset.
It's time to put an end to this
Obaid Rehman, president of the Muslim Students Association at Virginia Tech, also talked to USA Today College and told them that this is the time to act against this type of thinking.
"Islamophobia is being normalized, and we must speak out against it. … This is a critical moment in which we can all let each other know that yes, we area all different, yes, we have different backgrounds, yes, we might be from different ethnicities, yes I may totally disagree with you, but I will still respect you as a fellow human being, and I will stand up for you because it's the right thing to do," Rehman says.
In response to the threat, the Muslim Students Association at Virginia Tech launched a campaign Thursday that included sharing cookies with students studying in the library in order to "extinguish ignorance with love,", according to USA Today College.
