Friendships Change History
Friendships can be deeply transformative experiences. A deep and true friendship with another person or a circle of persons can completely revolutionize a person's life — and the lives of many other people.
Take the friendship of the group known to literary history as "The Inklings." This was a group of scholars and their various acquaintances in Cambridge and Oxford in the mid-20th century who shared a passionate love for literature (particularly fantastic literature) as well as a common love of the Christian faith. The most famous of them today is probably J.R.R. Tolkien, with C.S. Lewis running a close second, and others, such as Charles Williams and Owen Barfield (as well as several more), comprising the rest of the band.
They were a group who knew their tastes to be deeply out of step with the times, but as friends do, they bonded in their common love for their passion — educated opinion be damned — and encouraged one another in their work as they drank ale in the local pub, had rowdy readings of their own works, conducted arguments, and created literature such as The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia that has blessed the world for over half a century.
This illustrates an important point: namely, that though eros is what people normally think of as the "fruitful" love ("be fruitful and multiply"), nonetheless, friendship, in its own way, can be abundantly fruitful precisely because friends love what we love and help to encourage us when the world tells us we are fools for caring about our passions. The friendship of the Inklings bore fruit in some of the greatest books of the 20th century and in the birth of an entire genre of fiction that looks back to Tolkien and Lewis as "fathers."
Another example of a deeply fruitful friendship was the friendship of Ray Harryhausen and Ray Bradbury. Out of their friendship came some of the greatest science fiction and fantasy books and films of the 20th century. And a whole group of imitators — fired by the desire to imitate Bradbury's stories and Harryhausen's wonderful animated monsters in films like The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad — started making sci-fi movies in the back yard with Dad's 8mm camera and went on to create films like Raiders of the Lost Ark (Steven Spielberg), Star Wars (George Lucas) and The Lord of the Rings (Peter Jackson).
Ancient friendships also had the power to change history. David and Jonathan, for instance, had a strong bond of friendship that literally saved David's life when Jonathan's father, Saul, sought to kill David as a rival to his throne. After Jonathan's death, David's kingdom was established in place of Saul's, and David never forgot the way Jonathan had graciously loved the good of Israel more than his own desire for rule. So he welcomed Jonathan's heirs to his table as a way of honoring him, and the story of their friendship was preserved in what we call 1 and 2 Samuel.
Socrates was another man who surrounded himself with a group of friends — a group who proved to have an immensely fruitful impact on his people and on the world. His great disciple, Plato, recorded the conversations the great philosopher had with his circle of friends in a series of dialogues, and, as one historian put it, all of Western philosophy since has been more or less a series of footnotes to Plato.
Friendship has been at the core of some of the greatest human achievements of all time. Perhaps nowhere is its power more potently seen than in the founding of the Church: It was a band of friends Our Lord sent into the world to announce the Good News. Of which, more next time.

Pope Reminds Catholics to Grow in Charity This Lent
Benedict XVI's Lenten message focuses on serving others, 'the very heart of Christian life.'
The Catholic Church must demonstrate the power of love and show the limitations of an individualistic worldview, Pope Benedict XVI taught in a Lenten message released two weeks before Ash Wednesday.
In the letter released Feb. 7, the Pope contrasted an ethic of "custody of others" with "a mentality that, by reducing life exclusively to its earthly dimension … accepts any moral choice in the name of personal freedom."
A society with this mindset, he warned, "can become blind to physical sufferings and to the spiritual and moral demands of life. This must not be the case in the Christian community!"
The Pope's message for Lent 2012, which begins Feb. 22, drew from the New Testament's Letter to the Hebrews, particularly the verse that proclaims, "Let us be concerned for each other, to stir a response in love and good works."
"All too often, however, our attitude is just the opposite," Pope Benedict observed, describing "an indifference and disinterest born of selfishness and masked as a respect for 'privacy.'"
"Today, too, the Lord's voice summons all of us to be concerned for one another. Even today God asks us to be 'guardians' of our brothers and sisters, to establish relationships based on mutual consideration and attentiveness to the well-being, the integral well-being of others."
He encouraged believers "to recognize in others a true 'alter ego,' infinitely loved by the Lord."
"If we cultivate this way of seeing others as our brothers and sisters, solidarity, justice, mercy and compassion will naturally well up in our hearts."
But when this love and care for others diminishes, social and global problems correspondingly increase.
The Pope cited the words of his predecessor, the Servant of God Pope Paul VI, who declared that the world was "sorely ill" with a sickness caused not by material factors, but by selfishness and "the weakening of brotherly ties between individuals and nations."
"Contemporary culture seems to have lost the sense of good and evil," Pope Benedict said, as he warned about the danger of "a sort of 'spiritual anesthesia' which numbs us to the suffering of others."
"What hinders this humane and loving gaze towards our brothers and sisters?" he asked.
"Often, it is the possession of material riches and a sense of sufficiency, but it can also be the tendency to put our own interests and problems above all else."
"We should never be incapable of showing mercy towards those who suffer. Our hearts should never be so wrapped up in our affairs and problems that they fail to hear the cry of the poor."
Yet even when the world's love grows cold, goodness "does exist and will prevail, because God is 'generous and acts generously'" through those who work on behalf of "life, brotherhood and communion."
"In a world which demands of Christians a renewed witness of love and fidelity to the Lord, may all of us feel the urgent need to anticipate one another in charity, service and good works," the Pope stated, as he called all believers to practice the traditional Lenten disciplines of prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
"This is a favorable time to renew our journey of faith, both as individuals and as a community, with the help of the word of God and the sacraments. This journey is one marked by prayer and sharing, silence and fasting, in anticipation of the joy of Easter."
All of these ancient practices are meant to help the faithful grow in charity, which Pope Benedict described as "the very heart of Christian life."

The joy that filled Taylor's eyes that day I will never forget.
Taylor's mom
Taylor grins as Tim McGraw takes her hand and sings "cause you've given me the most beautiful set of wings, I'm so glad you're here today" - the chorus of his 2006 hit "Last Dollar."
This 11-year-old girl – who struggles with a life-threatening skeletal malformation – told her wish granters about her love for country idol, Tim McGraw. Make-A-Wish® Texas Gulf Coast and Louisiana went to work.
Her wish experience begins in her elementary school cafeteria in Bryan, Texas. When she walks in following the construction-paper red carpet lined just for her, she see her classmates waving hand-painted signs cheering her on. Her principal, Marilyn Rosas, opens a letter and surprises Taylor by reading:
"Hi Taylor, this is Tim McGraw. I'm looking forward to meeting you in New York next week, and I understand you are a big fan and I can't wait to sing to you."
Less than a week later, Taylor is on her way to meet the singer live on ABC's "Good Morning America" – an appearance to kickoff "Share the Joy" campaign by Lay's® potato chips to benefit Make-A-Wish. Anchor Robin Roberts introduces the pair while Taylor looks at home in the spotlight. She politely asks if she could call him by his first name, and Tim laughingly agrees.
McGraw made his GMA appearance to the nation, but now it's time to make the moment extraordinary for Taylor. This wish kid claps and sings along as McGraw gives her a 30-minute private concert – complete with "Last Dollar" and the sentimental hit "My Little Girl."
In a note to Make-A-Wish after their trip, Taylor's mom, Kristi says, "The joy that filled Taylor's eyes that day I will never forget."
Before leaving her new friend, Taylor presents him with a gold medal she won in a Special Olympics wheelchair race. In turn, McGraw gives her an autographed advanced copy of his new CD, several autographed souvenirs and photos to take home.
As her hero sings, "The heart don't forget something like that."
Kristi says Taylor still watches the videos of her and McGraw on Good Morning America singing all the songs on the CD living out her wish.
We realize that without the Make-A-Wish Foundation this wish for my daughter would never have come true, so we will always hold so much gratitude deep in our hearts for this organization.

This story makes me feel
More than 74 percent of all wishes granted involve travel.
When you support our Wishes in Flight® program, you help wish kids take flight.
Taylor is my daughter and I was lucky enough to have went on this trip with her. The joy that filled Taylor's eyes that day I will never forget. My daughter was the happiest little girl in the world that day, and to this day she conitnues to live out her wish. She watches the videos everyday of her and Mr. McGraw, and she knew every word to every song on his new cd within the first few days after receiving it. We realize that without the Make-A-Wish Foundation this wish for my daughter would never have come true, so we will always hold so much gratitude deep in our hearts for this organization. Thank You, Kristi

I had a sister that passed away a couple of years ago from Lupus, and she also had the opportunity to enjoy a day of happiness from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. I wanted to write and say how much I enjoyed seeing that young girl smile like she did. If she is going through half the stuggles of day to day that my sister went through, and then a man that we all admire for his music and family life comes along and does something for someone he has never met...I just have to say my hats off to you Tim McGraw, from one man to another.
April 12, 2007 - 3:22 PM
What a wonderful wish, for a wonderful girl. I'm so happy that you got your wish. I saw Tim McGraw in a concert years ago, and it was amazing for me, but I bet it was better for you..a private concert! Continue to do well with your health, and to make people everywhere smile, because that's what we did when we read your story, we all smiled.
April 19, 2007 - 12:48 PM
I talked to Tim a little bit back and he told us about this little girl, he had tears in his eyes thinking about his number 1 fan. I think he was more excited and honored meeting her then she was meeting him. Kano of Team Apocolypse Inc

Taylor is my sister, and I wanted to let her know that if she keeps smiling the way she does, Santa won't have enough to give to her!

What an angel, she deserved this and all the happiness in the world! Taylor reading your story really puts things into perspective.We take so much for granted and can learn so much from you.Your story really touched my heart. Just know in your struggles what an inspiration you are, beautiful girl! My 3 year old nephew has a rare heart condition and is getting a wish granted in July. We are so grateful to the Make-A-Wish Foundation for this dream they are making happen for him and for all of the dreams they make come true for all of these deserving kids. We could learn so much from them, and I just want to thank you Taylor, for making me want to be a better person.

2012 and 2013 Scion iQ Recall (Press Release)
Do you like this Press Release?

TORRANCE, Calif., Nov. 7, 2012 – Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (TMS), today announced that it will conduct a safety recall involving approximately 11,200 Scion iQ vehicles to inspect the front passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) weight sensor cables and install new protective covers over the sensors.
The front passenger seat assembly of the Scion iQ is equipped with sensors for the OCS which is used to control the operation of the front passenger Supplemental Restraint Systems, such as the airbags and seat belt pre-tensioner. Cables for thesensors located in the seat track cancome into contact with an object placed near the seat track andbecome damaged as the front passenger seat slides forward or backward.
Depending upon how the cable is damaged, the airbags may not deploy as designed or the airbags and seat belt pre-tensioner may be improperly activated.
No crashes or injuries have been reported for this condition.
Owners of vehicles covered by this safety recall will receive an owner notification letter via first class mail starting in early December 2012. The repair will take approximately one hour depending on the dealer's work schedule.
Today's announcement is for U.S. market vehicles only. No other Toyota, Lexus, or Scion vehicles are involved.
Detailed information is available to customers at www.toyota.com/recall and the Scion Customer Experience at 1-866-707-2466.

What I liked about 'The Power of Habit' is that it's not a self-help book. It's a thought provoking look at how things either become very successful or are devastatingly destroyed because of habits. Aside from a brief Appendix (called Reader's Guide to Using the Ideas in the Book), New York Times reporter Charles Duhigg provides a framework for understanding how habits are formed, changed, and how they affect our lives. One thing is for sure, we all have habits and they can either work for us or against us.
Since Duhigg is a reporter, he knows how to make the science interesting and he doesn't stick to the usual demons like smoking and drinking. Why do I distractedly start driving my route to work when I'm actually headed somewhere else? Why does toothpaste make your mouth tingle? Would we drive ourselves crazy if we had to think each time about which shoe to put on first, where to leave our keys, or decide to buckle up? Our brains use habits to make life more manageable.
I enjoyed the chapter on advertising and how habits have helped those in the marketplace analytically predict what we will buy next. Duhigg talks about music and how radio stations manage their playlists to keep our listening habits happy. He looks at society as a whole, and how behavioural aspects have even affected our communities and social movements. The author uses examples of those who have committed crimes because of habitual conditioning. Is the insecurity in South Africa so insidious that Oscar Pistorius automatically reached for a gun and discharged it when danger threatened? My example, not the author's, and of course in his case it may just be a clever defence. Either way it involves habit.
When Duhigg explains the neurology, he points out how cravings and willpower work. He offers practical advice but not in a "one size fits all" way. The author provides the tools to examine your own habits and help you decide which ones to change and which are already working well for you. It's simple. Your habits should be what you choose them to be. That's powerful.
If you don't have time to read the book, just watch the 15 minute TED Talk!

Finally! My first wedding! As simple as this cake sounded-3 tiered, ivory cake with white flower's around each base-it was extremely time consuming. Yes, I sat a made each of those roses. Of course I left most of it until last night and then underestimated the amount of roses I needed and scrambled a few more minutes before the event. Thankfully I made it with time to spare. I hope it was what the bride was looking for. Thanks for trusting an amateur to make your cake! :)

Giant Cupcake
Here it is with the candle, cute huh?
My baby sister turns 16 today-very hard to believe! She loves many things and one of those things happens to be cupcakes so how appropriate to do a giant cupcake for her birthday. It was also very convenient for me as this is a very simple cake and I have been making cakes up the wah-zoo this month. I was also able to use leftover material which made it even easier-yeah! We're going to put a giant birthday candle on top for when we sing to her tonight. I will post a picture of it later because it's pretty dang cool. I love you sis and congrats on the big one-six!

Bridal Shower Cake
I have been looking forward to this cake for weeks! When I think I've learned a lot on one cake and don't think I could learn much more, I do. I think I discovered more ways to improve with this cake than any other I have done so far. This order was to include a two-tiered square cake with some of the same features as my last baby shower cake but using the colors lavender and plum and it needed to be more elegant than "cutesy." Definitely a different kind of cake than I'm used to. I had a blast and like I said, learned a ton. I really appreciate the practice. I still have a ways to go but I'm getting there. :)

So one might think this cake was for a child...it was actually for my mom. I didn't mean for it to turn out so childlike but she loves this color combo and loves stars. I have been wanting to use some of the bright green (it's me fave) for a while now. I wish I didn't have so many distractions during this cake so I could have done a little cleaner of a job but she still loved it. I love you so much mom and I hope you have a great birthday!

It's Game Time!
Yeah for the Cardinals! For this momentous occasion, I made some football cookies and a cake...
I have an order for a square cake this month and I haven't done one yet-I didn't even have square pans! I thought what a perfect opportunity to get some practice in. I've been told that square cakes are more difficult than circle and that theory proved true but I did okay for a first-timer. :) Go Cardinals!

Just to add to Adam's comment, when retrieving a file contents I found I got the best results using the same revision in both places every time; ie. as follows:

The one appended to the URL is the peg revision, and the one in the second paramer is the operative revision.
This seems to cover all the bases.

The purpose of Arhatic Yoga is to produce intelligent, compassionate, good hearted, powerful disciples who will become great divine servants.
"ARHATIC" is derived from "arhat", describing a highly evolved being. This advanced yoga system was given by Mahaguruji Mei Ling to Master Choa Kok Sui. It has origins from China, India and Tibet. In addition to being an advanced technique practiced by Spiritual Initiates, it also synthesizes and integrates all yogas. Learn and experience the essence and powers of the 7 yogas: Raja yoga, Karma yoga, Laya/Kundalini yoga, Gnana yoga, Bhakti yoga, Mantra yoga and simplified Hatha yoga.
You will first undertake the purification of the physical, etheric, astral, and mental bodies. Then the chakras are substantially activated in a secret sequence to safely and effectively awaken and then circulate the Kundalini energy throughout the body. This technique is practiced by very advanced and evolved yogis. It is the foundation for building the much coveted "Golden Body"!
What you will learn:
- ARHATIC YOGA ENERGY CIRCULATION:This special meditation moves the Soul Energy through a series of energy channels called the "microcosmic orbit". Circulating the Soul Energy helps extract the "ancient seeds", pent-up emotions and negative crystallized thought patterns.
As a Living Spiritual Teacher, Master Choa Kok Sui imparts a massive current of Divine Force that quickly and safely awakens and regulates the Kundalini Energy of the student.
- Open the microcosmic orbit in less than 45 minutes. With an advanced technique not taught to the public, you can open these pathways safely to allow the Kundalini energy to flow and nourish and activate the chakras.
- Effortlessly diffuse crippling negative emotions to allow the Soul to control the astral & mental bodies.
- Increase your charisma, healing powers, sexual energies and other qualities as your chakras and aura increase in size and power.
- Learn how to recognize the 10 different "Kundalini Syndrome" symptoms and their remedies. Many spiritual aspirants have encountered difficulties often associated with spontaneous activation/awakening of the Kundalini Energy. Some of these "Kundalini syndrome" symptoms are overheating, constant fevers, insomnia, hallucinations, obsessive compulsions, uncontrollable sex drive, indifference, relationship problems, to name a few. In addition, students can initially be hit with many obstacles such as physical and psychological ailments, relationship problems and worst - financial disasters. This is caused by the rapid materialization of negative karma and latent tendencies. These problems could be eliminated or substantially reduced if the Mental, Astral, and Etheric bodies are prepared through appropriate purification techniques taught by Master Choa Kok Sui.
Be part of a group where you can experience fellowship. Be nurtured in a spiritual environment with regular meetings, updates, weekend retreats and spiritual coaching by our local and international instructors. Grandmaster Choa Kok Sui also gives you the opportunity to undertake higher initiations as your bodies get acclimated to higher spiritual currents.

The Ukiah Unified School District (UUSD) and the Ukiah Teachers Association (UTA) have reached a tentative agreement that includes higher salaries and retirement incentives for teachers.
"We are thrilled," said UUSD Superintendent Debra Kubin, explaining that agreement was achieved "late Wednesday night," but it won"t be official until the UTA members and the Mendocino County Office of Education (MCOE) approve it.
"We are very please that we were able to settle," said Leslie Barkley, president of the UTA, adding that voting will begin next week and end Feb. 27. "So far, members seem to be receiving the tentative agreement very well."
"There are several pieces (to the agreement), but one of the biggest is that we were able to rebench" the salary schedule for teachers," Kubin said, pointing out that the starting salary will be $40,000, and the highest is now $77, 432, with 25 steps in between. Previously, the salaries began at about $36,000 and ended at $71,000.
"Our goal is to create a salary schedule that allows people to retire when they"re ready, and also allows us to attract new teachers," she said, adding that the agreement has "retirement incentives to motivate those who are getting ready to retire."
The first incentive is a cash payment of $20,000, paid over two years, to teachers who agree to retire this year by March 8, according to the joint report prepared by the UUSD and UTA. The second incentive is a $10,000 cash payment to teachers announcing by Jan. 1, 2014, that they will retire at the end of the 2013-14 school year.
The joint report states that the salary schedule will be effective July 1, 2012, and "the parties agree (to) cooperate to secure irrevocable letters of intent to retire. Should the number of retirees be insufficient to gain approval from the MCOE, the parties shall resume negotiations.
"We have to make sure we can afford this (agreement)," Kubin said. "If we can get enough retirees, we think we can."
Another part of the early retirement package was eliminating "consultancies," which Kubin said was a $300,000 a year program that allowed retired teachers to be paid as consultants.
"The teachers agreed to eliminate that," she said.
Barkley said a new safety section was added to the agreement, though it didn"t include everything teachers asked for.
"We didn"t get everything we wanted, but it"s a start," she said. "We"re happy to have it."
Once the agreement is approved by the MCOE, Kubin said the next step is to bring it back before the UUSD board for final approval.

What does Dracula have to do besides being whipped?

Story highlights
- The African Union suspends Guinea-Bissau
- History will show we were right, the junta says
- Junta: The acting president and former prime minister are "detained for security reasons"
- Guinea-Bissau has had several coups since it gained independence in 1974
Guinea-Bissau has been suspended from the African Union in the wake of last week's military coup.
The suspension remains "until the restoration of constitutional order," the union said Tuesday.
The union cited the "recurrence of illegal and unacceptable interference of the leadership of Guinea-Bissau's army on the politics of the country, creating instability and culture of impunity, which have hampered the development of the country."
The union said it will request the cooperation of international organizations including the United Nations, the European Union and the Economic Community of West African States to apply additional sanctions, including a travel ban on key members of the junta.
"The African Union is doing their job, and we are doing our job," said Daba Naualna, a spokesman for the junta that has taken over the country. He argued that history will show that the coup was the right thing to do.
Eventually, the African Union will be able to understand the situation, he said.
The military command has said the revolt was in response to a "secret deal" between the government and Angola to allow Angolan troops in the country to attack the military.
The junta insisted that the African Union, whose rotating presidency is currently held by Angola, supports intervention by Angolan forces.
Angola, also a former Portuguese colony, issued a statement last week saying it would unilaterally withdraw its troops. A number of its troops are in Guinea-Bissau to help reform the country's armed forces, Angola said.
Meanwhile, Naualna said an interim president and a former prime minister of Guinea-Bissau will be freed from detention as soon as conditions allow.
Interim President Raimundo Pereira and former Prime Minister Carlos Gomes Jr. "are being detained for security reasons," Naualna said.
The junta "does not anticipate" the return of Pereira and Gomes to power, despite international condemnations of the coup.
The developments came after the military command met Monday with the Economic Community of West African States regional bloc, which has denounced the coup and called for the junta "to restore constitutional rule immediately."
Naualna said the West African group agreed to send a technical mission to Guinea-Bissau as soon as possible to help find solutions to the crisis, though specific details were not released.
Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara will lead the talks within the bloc, Naualna said.
After Thursday's coup, military leaders and a group of mostly opposition political parties declared the formation of a transitional national council, spokesman Fernando Vaz said. The composition of the council had yet to be determined, he said, but the president of the council will be the interim president of the country until parliamentary and presidential elections are held.
The formation of the council effectively means the constitution will be suspended, a scenario similar to events in 2003, after a coup against President Kumba Iala.
Coups and coup attempts are common in Guinea-Bissau since it won independence from Portugal in 1974.
Soldiers took Pereira and Gomes into custody Thursday night, sparking international condemnation.
Leaders of the nation's armed forces have taken control of the nation to ensure stability, Naualna said.
"The (army chief of staff) thinks, for the sake of the country, that power cannot fall into the streets and decided to have (the military) play its part in seeking solutions with the political class to resolve this crisis," he said.
On Sunday, the "military command" announced the closure of Guinea-Bissau to all air traffic and maritime circulation from abroad as a matter "of national security and safeguard of the territory of Guinea-Bissau."
A chorus of world leaders has denounced last week's coup, which occurred just before the second round of a presidential election set for April 29.
The African Union, the United Nations and the United States called for a return to civilian rule and demanded the release of the leaders.
Foreign ministers from the Community of Portuguese-Speaking Countries, of which Guinea-Bissau is a member, have also condemned the coup.
Guinea-Bissau's conflicts have ravaged its infrastructure and economy, leaving it among the poorest in the world.
The nation's first round of voting in a presidential election was held in March, and campaigning for the second round was about to begin. The election was prompted by the death of the incumbent Malam Bacai Sanha in January after a long illness.
Sanha had become president in September 2009 after the assassination of his predecessor.
Despite his coming to power in what international observers deemed a fair and peaceful election, his tenure was marked by turmoil among the country's military and political leadership.
To date, no democratically elected president of the country has served a full five-year term.

maxIdle Problem : EJB v/s MBean : 4.2.1.FINALsnacker May 5, 2011 11:01 AM
We are having a problem with a cache with maxIdle set.
After the maxIdle is "reached" the cache in effect becomes "readonly".
In addition, after the maxIdle time is reached the cache contents can be read by calls from an EJB, but not from an MBean.
(I have verified via a heap dump that there are no duplicate caches, btw.)
We are using version 4.2.1.FINAL, but we had the same problem with the previous release.
We are using jbossAS 6.0.0.Final "Neo".
Our cache has maxIdle set to 2 hours.
It is implemented as a TreeCache (org.infinispan.tree.TreeCache).
It is setup to cluster to one other jboss server (which is currently shutdown).
Most of the time we have applications hitting this every 10 minutes.
So in effect the nodes should "never" expire... i.e. the maxIdle should never be reached for these nodes.
However, there are times when the cache needs to be updated.
In order to update the cache we first clear it, then reload the data into the cache.
The only way to clear the cache is to use a combination of calls:
Set nodes = myCache.getRoot().getChildren();
Iterator it = nodes.iterator();
Node node = (Node)it.next();
myCache.removeNode( node.getFqn() );
node = null;
When the maxIdle is "reached" the getRoot().getChildren() method returns an empty set.
The getCache().clear() method appears to be the only thing that is removing the nodes when the "maxIdle" is reached.
(again... the the nodes should never actually reach the "maxIdle" timeout)
This "clearing" is done by the EJB's (which are Stateless), not by an MBean.
Our MBean is used to view the cache contents.
Our tree structure is like:
/nodeA/keyA = some-data-for-A
/nodeA/keyB = some-data-for-B
/nodeA/keyC = some-data-for-C
/nodeX/keyX = some-data-for-X
/nodeX/keyY = some-data-for-Y
/nodeX/keyZ = some-data-for-Z
So keys A, B & C are all under nodeA and X, Y & Z are all under nodeX.
In order to retrieve the values to display we have to do:
Node root = myCache.getRoot()
Set<Node> nodes = root.getChildren();
for( Node node : nodes ){
Set keys = node.getKeys();
Set children = node.getChildren();
if( null != keys || null != children ){
LinkedList llKeys = new LinkedList();
if( null != keys ){
llKeys.addAll( keys );
if( null != children ){
llKeys.addAll( children );
Collection objColl;
for( Object key : objColl ){
if( key instanceof Node ){
Node myNode = (Node) key ;
Object value = myNode.getData();
// display value
Object value = node.get( key );
// display value
// nothing found
In the code above "keyA" and "keyX" are the ONLY key returned by "nodeA".getKeys() and "nodeX".getKeys() respectively.
Keys "keyB" & "keyC" and "keyY" & "keyZ" are ONLY returned by their nodes using "nodeA".getChildren() and "nodeX".getChildren() respectively.
Is this the expected behavior?
I would have expected getKeys() to return A, B & C and X, Y & Z not just the first one of each node...?
However, once the "maxIdle" is reached none of the keys/nodes are returned even though nothing should actually be "expired".
If I attach the debugger the cache does still contain the keys, but the calls to the cache are returning nothing.
So... it looks like it may have something to do with the transaction manager (wrt the "maxIdle" issue).
If the cache is cleared (using the code the EJB calls above) things work again until the maxIdle is "reached" again.
Now... the maxIdle being "reached" is an approximation.
If I set the maxIdle to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes or 48 hours the time it takes for the issue to appear corresponds to the shorter or longer maxIdle setting.
I've attached the config files we are using.

Each year, we like to focus on achievements in the visual communications world in celebration of Black History Month. This year we're taking a little different approach in a quest to find creative expressions of Martin Luther King Jr. We've also updated the whole series of pages about Black designers and artists in the world ...
Dencii Manayak from Paranaque, Philippines has produced a series of black portraits that were all created using just typographical figures: letters, punctuation, most of them the letters from the script typeface Bickham Script, and in just various shades of gray that make for striking artwork against their bold black canvases. Pairing these portraits is a word that really sums up what that person's life was all about.
In part 2 he refines the image, and continues to tone the image in an artistic fashion.
The first version of Let Us All Dream Together The second version of Let Us All Dream Together. Evolving from this series, he goes on to produce other images using the same technique, including Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, John Lennon, and others. Discover more of Manayak's work in his
Deviant Art gallery, or his
Facebook page.
I'm a Pop Conceptualist producing work in a wide range of media, marrying the commercial and contemporary, conveying a glossy design aesthetic with a keen sense of humor. My subject matter deals with the layering of identities, cultural critique and commentary, celebrity obsession and the universal human need for recognition.
Artist Troy Gua was born and raised in Seatac, Washington, and prefers the term self-actualized to self-taught, but will answer to either. He has created many portrait images in the tradition of Andy Warhol, but not exactly emulating Warhol's work. Troy gives the flat-color, high-contrast technique a whole new look and personality.
Visit Troy at : troygua.com
See a lot more of Troy's work at www.artreview.com
CXARD: In another gallery we find another high-contrast / flat color screen print simulation of King, created by someone calling themselves CXARD. Nothing else is revealed about the artist other than they like cabbage. This is a very pleasing version of Martin Luther King, Jr.. There's also a good one of Malcolm X. See image enlarged
PSU.edu : An art contest was held in Heritage Hall in the HUB-Robeson Center of PSU, during Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Campuses throughout the Penn State system observed Martin Luther King Jr. Day. No classes were held and the campus community was encouraged to volunteer during "A Day On, Not a Day Off." ... again, no artists credits given.
Still Dreaming This portfolio presents the work of Julien Pons, 27-year-old, freelance graphic artist in Montpellier, Marseille, Paris. He also works as a trainer, at Art-Fx in Montpellier and at Emob in Toulon. Rather interesting piece for a Frenchman. (Full size) Visit Julien at
Believe it or not, we found this rather nice posterization of Martin Luther King, Jr. in one of those hijacker background sites! After fighting all the spam, pop-ups, and predator pop-unders we captured this. Unfortunately, no artists name is given. (Full size)
Hawker Background Sites: Beware ... we also turned up a plethora of King drawings and clip art -- mostly very bad -- in the hawker background sites. These are sites which turn up in Google searches as "free backgrounds" and have 99% spam and make you click three or four times before you actually get to the art shown in the search.
They also frequent pop-ups and pop-unders that stalk you online -- along with those really annoying audio ads "Congratulations ... you have WON" that steal your identity. Both of these are merely scanned from someone's clip art collection, and are probably the best of the genre. (I believe these came from the 1980s "VOLK" clip art collection, but I cannot be sure.)
Martin Luther King Jr. Day (full)
Martin Luther King Clip (full)
Quest times out
There were hundreds of others, ranging from fair to kind-of-bad, to very bad, to so bad it makes you sick. But, by this time we were exhausted, so we gave up. If you want any more, just pull a Google Search and go hunting for yourself.
If you do happen to run across any outstanding ones, please let us know!
Follow along: Black History Month
thanks for reading
Don't forget ... we encourage you to share your discoveries about favorite or famous graphic designers and illustrators with other readers. Just contact me, and/or join the forums

Tagged: Captain Morgan
Captain Morgan Calls for Captainism!
Just how Captain Morgan is able to be in both my liquor cabinet and the Oakland Coliseum at the same time is beyond me. But he is. Or… was. In fact, last week he was seen comparing hooks with Mr. Perfect himself, Dallas Braden, while bringing the party with him in the way of one blonde, one redhead and one enviable, swashbuckling goatee.
That's right. Just when you thought captainism in US America was dead, here comes Captain Morgan throwing out the first pitch at a ballpark near you. While captains may run rampant in the NHL, the NFL and MLS, Major League Baseball suffers from a supreme shortage.
Derek Jeter. Jason Varitek. Paul Konerko.
Those are your only true, official captains.
Jeter? Understood.
Varitek? That's a joke, right?
Paulie? Deserved, but under appreciated and way under publicized. In fact, I didn't even know he was the Sox captain until yesterday… and I live next to the ball park!
Look, I'm a purist. You know this. Axe the replay, axe the jumbotron, axe the synthetic unis… I'm cool with all of that. But in lieu of the Nyjer Morgans and Milton Bradleys of the world, I think MLB would do a lot of good to inject more leadership into its ranks, spice it up with a "C" patch, subject the younger players to some authority.
Evan Longoria, Albert Pujols, Joe Mauer… they already look and act like captains. Can't we just make it official?
Either that, or at least make it mandatory for that blonde and that redhead to make an appearance every ballpark in the league. (No need for the goatee. I have one of those already.)
Oh… and I'll be waiting at Sox Park.
So go ahead and hate me… just don't hate me 'cuz I'm right.

Although I never sported a hairstyle inspired by A Flock Of Seagulls or wore outfits like the guys in Duran Duran, I immediately embraced New Wave music and have liked it ever since. It was easy to feel at least a certain amount of alternative cred browsing through rows of 45 records at Wax Trax! on Lincoln Avenue. The store also had a good selection of magazines and newspapers from around the U.S. and England.
The London-based publication The Face, which presumably took its name from Mod slang for a cool trendsetter, covered cutting-edge music, film, fashion, and politics. The front cover of this April, 1982 issue featured the U.K. ska band Fun Boy Three working out at a gym, along with a member of Bananarama. The two acts had recently joined forces for an enticing and rhythmic take on the 1960s song "Really Saying Something" by the Velvelettes.
There were also articles about Madness, reflecting on their newly acquired maturity; a 40-year old Lou Reed, who was promoting his new LP The Blue Mask; and inexplicably, Pia Zadora, talking about being rich and famous. Neil Norman's Film Buff column mentioned Mad Max 2, Time Bandits, and Missing, along with "a premature farewell to actor John Belushi." Singles reviewer Fiona Russell Powell noted, "ABC's 'Poison Arrow' is easily the best song in the charts right now," and Albums reviewer Ian Birch panned Spandau Ballet's Diamond and Robert Palmer's Maybe It's Live. He liked Haircut One Hundred's Pelican West, and hailed Fun Boy Three's self-titled effort as "a peculiarly addictive debut."
Publisher/Editor Nick Logan and designer Neville Brody favored a mostly black and white look for The Face's graphics, with occasional full-color photos. This issue cast a spotlight on African and Bolshevik fashions, and there was an article about collecting vintage toys. Political columnist Julie Burchill, who judging from the Letters column, was no stranger to controversy, traveled back to The House Committee On Un-American Activities battle with Hollywood's elite.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – It's time for Olive Garden's parent company Darden Restaurants to consider looking for a new CEO, an activist investor said Wednesday.
Barington Capital Group said it sent a letter to the independent directors on Darden's board saying it was concerned by the company's "rapidly deteriorating financial performance" under chief executive Clarence Otis.
The letter said the firm has "long questioned why the board did not select a person with stronger operating experience in the industry to run Darden."
Darden said in a statement that its focus was on doing "what is in the best interest of all Darden shareholders and the board is confident in the actions the company is taking to deliver this responsibility."
The intensifying criticism comes as Darden Restaurants Inc., based in Orlando, Fla., fights to boost sales at its struggling Olive Garden and Red Lobster chains.
The chains have been losing customers since the downturn as people cut back on spending and reconsider whether the pasta or seafood meals are worth prices the restaurants charge. Another problem is the growing popularity of places like Chipotle, where people feel they can get quality food for less money.
To improve its performance, Darden said late last year that it will spin off or sell Red Lobster chain and focus on fixing Olive Garden. But Barington and another activist investor, Starboard Value, have objected and say the plan should be put to a shareholder vote.
In the letter, Barington said it didn't understand why the company was making Starboard go through "the tedious process of bringing a consent solicitation to call a special meeting in the first place." It said allowing a shareholder vote would minimize the time and resources the company spent on the matter.
Barington wants Darden to separate Olive Garden and Red Lobster as a pair from the company's more successful specialty restaurant group, which includes The Capital Grille. It also wants Darden to hold onto Red Lobster's real estate so that it could collect rent.
Additionally, Barington wants Darden to name an independent chairman to replace Otis, who has been CEO since 2004 and chairman since 2005.
Darden did not respond when asked for a response on Barington's comments regarding Otis.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A new national poll indicates that only one in six Americans is worried that someone in the family will get the H1N1 flu.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey, released Tuesday morning, indicates that concern over the flu, also known as the swine flu, has diminished, with 17 percent of people questioned saying they are worried that they or someone in their family will fall victim to the flu. An additional 20 percent say they were worried in the past few weeks, but are no longer concerned. Sixty-three percent of those polled say they were never worried, but the poll suggests that there is a large gender gap on that measure. Among men, 71 percent said they have never worried about the flu; for women, that figure drops to 55 percent.
"Women are more likely than men to worry about the flu, possibly because women tend to fill the role of "health monitor" in American families," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.
The poll also suggests that most Americans, 54 percent, think that the federal government's response to the flu has been appropriate. But nearly four in 10 questioned said the government has overreacted.
"Democrats and Republicans are equally likely to say that the government's response has been appropriate," Holland said.
The poll's release comes after an assistant principal in New York City died after being hospitalized with the H1N1 virus. New York City's health commissioner said Monday that the man had an underlying medical condition. If the death is confirmed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the case would be the sixth linked to swine flu in the United States. The CDC has confirmed three in Texas, one in Arizona and one in Washington state.
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation was conducted Thursday through Sunday, with 1,010 adult Americans questioned by telephone. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 4.5 percentage points.

Yahoo Returning $3.65 Billion to Shareholders, but in Buybacks or Dividends?
Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer has decided what to do with most of the money the company made from the divestiture of its Alibaba stake: Return it to the company's shareholders.
In an announcement issued moments ago detailing the Alibaba agreement, Yahoo said it will return approximately $3.65 billion in after-tax proceeds to shareholders. That's about 85 percent of what it made on the deal. It will keep the remainder, about $650 million.
"This outcome is terrific for Yahoo," Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer said in an all-hands memo to employees. "It generates liquidity to create substantial value for our shareholders, while retaining a meaningful amount in the company to invest in our future. Also, because we still own 23 percent of Alibaba's common stock, we have the opportunity to benefit from future upside when Alibaba IPOs."
Yahoo has been considering returning money to its shareholders for some time now, so this news isn't exactly a surprise — though the dollar figure is quite high. The big question now is just how this will all play out. Will Yahoo return $3.65 billion to shareholders through buybacks or dividends? The company has talked about buybacks in the past. CFO Tim Morse even hinted at one on Yahoo's last earnings call. A buyback, of course, would likely increase the value of Yahoo's stock.
But Yahoo is not ready to disclose its decision on the form of the buyback.
"We haven't announced specifics around the form of return of proceeds," a Yahoo spokesperson told AllThingsD. "The form and timing of returning proceeds will be determined by the board and management, taking into consideration the best interests of the company and its shareholders."

NEA Works with National Partners on Dropout Prevention
NEA has established dropout prevention partnerships with two national organizations: America's Promise Alliance and Jobs for America's Graduates.
America's Promise Alliance (APA)
NEA has made a commitment to work with APA to increase the nation's graduation rate through dropout prevention and intervention, especially for students of color and students from low-income homes.
APA is supporting dropout prevention summits across the country to "increase awareness, encourage collaboration and facilitate action in those states and communities that want to improve their graduation rates." The summits bring governors, mayors, business leaders, child advocates, educators, parents, and students together. APA has invited every state and 55 cities to host summits through 2010.
NEA has encouraged state and local affiliates to convene, help plan, and/or attend the summits so that the Association's voice is heard as summit participants develop state-and community-specific dropout prevention action plans.
Jobs for America's Graduates
NEA's partnership with JAG advances both organizations' interests in dropout prevention and intervention. JAG is a 27-year-old school-to-career program that operates in high schools, alternative schools, community colleges, and middle schools across the country and the United Kingdom.
NEA has encouraged its state and local affiliates to provide support and assistance to schools that are using the JAG program. JAG works with 40,000 young people in 700 schools and other locations in 28 states to help them achieve academic, career, and life success.

MotoSport.com Joins Forces with Rockstar Energy Racing
MURRIETA, CA MotoSport.com has joined forces with the Rockstar Energy Racing team in their determined offensive on the 2013 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM Championship, and 2013 Lucas Oil Pro AMA Motocross Championship series.
This year's Rockstar Energy Racing team will field talented riders Jason Anderson and Blake Wharton once more, and they have added strength with new team members Nico Izzi, Ryan Sipes and Davi Millsaps. Anderson and Wharton competed on opposite coasts in the 2012 AMA Supercross Championship but were together for the 2012 AMA Pro Motocross Lites season, where both enjoyed consistent top-10 finishes. In 2013, both Anderson and Wharton will again contend their respective AMA Supercross Lites and AMA Pro Motocross Lites classes aboard Suzuki's RM-Z250.
New team members Izzi and Sipes will also race the Suzuki 250 alongside those two – Izzi with Wharton in the East and Sipes with Anderson in the West - in the Lites classes in AMA Supercross and AMA Pro Motocross. Though new to the Rockstar Energy Racing team, AMA Horizon Award winner and Supercross Lites Champion Davi Millsaps is a premier class veteran and will run there again in both SX and MX championship series. Millsaps' mount will be the Suzuki RM-Z450, which will also be available to his Lites teammates when they get the opportunity to race in the class at select venues.
Rockstar Energy Racing team manager Dave Gowland stated of the relationship, "MotoSport has been involved with our team for many years; it has been a long-term, ongoing relationship. I like Bill [Butcher] and we really like MotoSport. Together we are two power brands in this industry, and our involvement with one another has many benefits for the end consumer. We are happy to have MotoSport with the team!"
"We at MotoSport.com have a high level of respect for the team at Rockstar Energy Racing," declared Bill Butcher, CEO and founder of MotoSport.com, "and we could not be more pleased to be a part of their remarkable operation. With the talented group of athletes they have together for 2013, we are all eagerly awaiting the start of the season."
It all begins on January 5th at the world-famous Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California. We are all looking forward to this New Year with Rockstar Energy Racing and MotoSport.com will be here all year long with support for this exceptional team.

text: :-( MP3 destroys Surround Sound encoding 2002-12-02 23:18:38 I've been experimenting with MP3 and converting my CDs to MP3-320 compressed files. Unfortunately, I've discovered that the MP3 encoding process destroys the Rear Channel Sound. In a few cases I can still hear music in the rear, but for most songs the rear speaker just produces garbage sound... rather disappointing compared to the rich sound produced from the original CD!I suppose MP3 considers the rear channel information to be "inaudible" which it would be in a standard 2-speaker stereo arrangement, but the addition of the rear speaker makes these types of sounds *very* audible. It's basically an echo effect that is audible when listening to the CD and places the listener *inside* the music, but sadly lacking on the MP3 rip. The stripping of that rear channel echo dramatically diminishes the experience.TroyP.S. I'm using CDex for ripping and LAME for encoding with the following settings: q=0;Very High Quality, Stereo, 320kbps.

Tauren Marine
This is an April Fools article.
This article is a Blizzard April Fools joke. Its content is not part of official Warcraft lore, but represents one of Blizzard's jokes.
The Tauren Marine was first seen as an April Fool's Day prank conducted by Blizzard in 2008. The website for StarCraft II was updated with an announcement that the Tauren Marines were the newest Terran Unit.
According to the unit description page, StarCraft's Terran Confederacy discovered an obscure planet called Azeroth, which was home to "a dizzying selection of humans, mutants, and aliens in a state of perpetual superstition and conflict." The Confederacy decided that the Tauren, one of the most physically imposing of Azeroth's species, would make excellent additions to their space marine corps., and equipped the large number of young bulls who were interested in their proposition with state-of-the-art armor and weaponry.
In StarCraft II, if you head to the north end of the map the "Zero Hour" mission, past the Zerg Base in the northeast section, you will see a Tauren Space Marine near an outhouse. His name is LV80TSM! and upon getting close to him or clicking on him, he rushes into an outhouse. The outhouse cannot be destroyed.
- Elite Tauren Chieftain has a tauren marine skin in Heroes of the Storm.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Everyone already knows what high scores Scotty McCreery received on American Idol. But did you know he is becoming kind of a math whiz? Neither did he. When he got a 98 percent on a recent math test at North Carolina State University, he was kind of surprised. "I was pumped about that because math is not one of my best things," he told The Associated Press. Beyond getting good grades in math, McCreery is taking all his college courses toward his communications degree on Mondays and Wednesdays (which allows him some free time for intramural football on Tuesdays) so he can spend the long weekends touring or making new music in Nashville. And how's that coming? "We're still looking for songs because that's what the second album is about for me," he said. "I'm going to be picking and choosing. Country music is about the songs. This last year, I've had sold-out shows, I've won awards and stuff, but I haven't had that huge monster hit yet. That's a song I really need to have." Too bad there's not a course titled monster hit songwriting at NCSU.
