Travellers who are bored with Manhattan look for new thrills in New York's City's outer boroughs. If you're getting bored with Vancouver, then head out to that city's suburbs to see some new sights.
It may be a bit of hyperbole, but the folks in New Westminster like to think of their town as Vancouver's Brooklyn, a once proud city that went through hard times, but is rebuilding itself with a cooler image.
The first step to reboot a neighbourhood starts with the name. New Westminster was fine when Queen Victoria was on the throne, but these days, everyone calls it New West.
Vancouver's expensive real estate market is helping fuel growth in New West. Priced out of the market, plenty of young people are heading further afield for more affordable places to live and plant roots. New West is benefitting from that movement and some of the city's downtown trendsetters are following their customers out to where they live.
One of them is chef Angus An. This culinary dynamo who is the owner of Maenam, arguably Vancouver's finest Thai restaurant, has just opened a new eatery in the River Market at Westminster Quay. It's a casual Thai restaurant named Longtail, after a type of boat that is common in Thailand.
Chef An said his inspiration was the night markets in Thailand. He thought Vancouver lacked "gourmet" fast food so he thought quality Thai food would fill that niche.
"People want to eat well. They want to east fast, but they don't want to eat junk," he told me.
Longtail is just one of several interesting restaurants in the River Market. Neighbouring Re-Up BBQ is another. It's a name known to connoisseurs of Vancouver's downtown food carts. They serve delicious barbecue platters and sandwiches.
Step out from the River Market and you'll find yourself on the the Waterfront Esplanade, a kilometre-long boardwalk that lines the Fraser River. It's the ideal spot to soak up the atmosphere of New West and the river that is so important to the city's past and present.
The river remains the beating heart of New West. You can walk or cycle the entire length of the esplanade and watch the tugboats and barges scurry past or simply watch the water flow. At the end of the boardwalk, you can explore newly-opened Westminster Pier Park. It's an innovative green space that is half on land, half on water and a great place to relax.
For a closer look at the city's river history, a stop at the Samson V museum along the boardwalk is in order. It is housed in the last steam-powered sternwheeler to operate in Canada.
Another entrepreneur who is bringing some cool to New West is Frank Gregus. He's one of the co-owners of Pacific Breeze Winery which bills itself as Canada's first urban garage winery.
Rather than be grape growers, they thought they would create wine using the best grapes they could buy from the open market.
"If mother nature decides to be kind it will decide whether you have a good year or not," said Gregus. Selecting which grapes they buy when it's time to bottle a new batch means they don't have to rely on Mother Nature's whims to control the quality of their product. Their signature wine brands are Killer Cab and Big Red, which you can buy at the winery which is located in an unremarkable industrial park not far from the river front.
There are a handful of accommodation options in New West, but there is only one full-service hotel and that is The Inn on The Quay. It is conveniently located on the Riverfront Esplanade and neighbours the River Market.
This building's tiered construction certainly stands out as it juts out over the esplanade into the river and once you see it, you won't be surprised to learn that its design was inspired by cruise ships.
The hotel is 25-years-old, but recent renovations have brought it completely up to date and each of its 126 rooms feature large windows that give you gorgeous views of the river and private balconies that give you more room to breathe.
Amenities like free wi-fi, weekly wine tastings, plush bathrobes and spa-like baths only add to the enjoyment of your stay. If the food at the neighbouring River Market wasn't enough for you, the hotel's attached Boathouse Restaurant has an expansive menu.
It's also conveniently located a few blocks from the SkyTrain station so you can travel to downtown Vancouver in under half an hour.
New Westminster may not have as many hipsters per square kilometre as Brooklyn, but it's working hard at transforming itself into a cool place to live and to visit.

They may not agree on much else, but there's a change to Medicare that President Barack Obama and Republicans both support: Expand a little-known law so more retirees that the government considers well-off are required to pay higher monthly premiums.
It's on the short list in the budget talks, raising $20 billion or more over 10 years.
That could come as a shock to many seniors who would have to pay the higher premiums and consider themselves comfortably middle-class, yet by no means wealthy.
They may not agree on much else, but there's a change to Medicare that President Barack Obama and Republicans both support: Expand a little-known law so more retirees that the government considers well-off are required to pay higher monthly premiums.
It's on the short list in the budget talks, raising $20 billion or more over 10 years.
That could come as a shock to many seniors who would have to pay the higher premiums and consider themselves comfortably middle-class, yet by no means wealthy.
It happened to Tom James. He and his wife recently got an official notice that they will have to start paying more for Medicare next year, about $1,000 for the two of them.
James is among some 2 million beneficiaries currently facing higher "income-related" premiums for outpatient care, or Medicare Part B. If the budget proposal goes through, that number would grow over time to 20 million.
"I was blindsided," said James, a retired bank examiner who lives near Philadelphia. "The camel has got his nose in the tent now, and the question is how far do they want to go with that?"
Income-based premiums were introduced for outpatient care under former President George W. Bush and later expanded to the prescription benefit, or Medicare Part D, by Obama's health care law. The idea now is to keep broadening their reach.
How would it work?
Think of it as two bites.
First, the current income-based premiums would be ratcheted up. Those surcharges are assessed on a sliding scale, and kick in for individual beneficiaries making more than $85,000, or $170,000 for couples.
Second, the number of beneficiaries who have to pay higher monthly premiums would be gradually expanded by a few hundred thousand people each year. That would be done by extending a temporary freeze on the income thresholds at which the higher premiums are assessed.
Without adjusting the thresholds for inflation, the share of beneficiaries on the hook for higher premiums would keep growing from 5 percent currently until it reached 25 percent, or 1 in 4 people with Medicare.
Backers of the idea — Obama administration officials, prominent Republicans in the House and Senate and nonpartisan experts — say it's foolish for Medicare to keep subsidizing people who can pay their own way, particularly when the program faces long-range financial problems.
"What we're talking about here is a premium structure that makes sense," said Robert Bixby, executive director of the nonpartisan Concord Coalition, which advocates reducing the deficit. "Politicians have been afraid to charge full fare because of public reaction. But that time is coming to an end."
Medicare serves about 50 million Americans, including seniors and disabled people. Half have annual incomes below $22,500.
Technically, the program's outpatient and prescription coverage is optional. In practice, it's too good a deal to pass up. By law taxpayers cover 75 percent of the premiums, and beneficiaries pick up the remaining 25 percent.
That's the way it works for most people. Medicaid pays premiums for the poor, while people the government considers well-off shoulder an increasing share of premiums, starting at 35 percent and going all the way up to 80 percent for individuals making more than $214,000 and couples over $428,000.
Polls show that Americans clearly prefer raising premiums on wealthy beneficiaries as opposed to a general increase. However, few people are aware that the government is already collecting higher premiums from some beneficiaries. Very few know the details.
"I think wealth is in the eye of the beholder," said Tricia Neuman, a Medicare expert with the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation. "This premium affects people with incomes starting at $85,000, but in the discussion over taxes $85,000 is not generally considered high income."
AARP says hiking the premium would be equivalent to a tax.
"This is a payment to the federal government based on your income, and that is a form of a tax," said David Certner, legislative policy director for the older people's lobby.
Not so, says Bixby. Even the wealthiest beneficiaries still get some subsidy under the plan, just not a 75 percent price break.
AARP also worries that charging seniors more based on income could taint Medicare as a welfare program, undercutting its political support.
James, the Philadelphia-area retiree, said the higher premium feels like a tax to him. "I'm making a payment to a government program," he said.
He said he figures he and his wife were probably pushed over the threshold because of distributions from retirement accounts that people in their 70s are required by law to take.
It's causing him to rethink how he feels about Medicare.

Spread the cost of your new bike, helmet, safety equipment and accessories paying via instalments being taken directly from your wage. The payments for the Cycle To Work scheme are taken out of your gross wage and your Tax & NI contributions are then worked out based on your new lower gross wage which is how you save money on your new bike and equipment.
At the end of the time period specified with your Cycle To Work scheme you then have the option of buying your bike or to continuing to use it while you work for the company. If you decide to purchase the bike, the balance you owe will be based on a percentage of how much the bike was worth at the time you took out the Cycle To Work scheme.
Bring in your old bike to one of our 11 UK stores for a free valuation of your old bike, and if we're happy with its condition, and you're happy with the valuation, we'll take it off your hands and give you the money off a new bike!
Every bike we sell is built, tested, packed and dispatched within 24 hours of placing your order - in one of our special Leisure Lakes Bikes boxes by a Cytech qualified mechanic. We do this PDI (pre-despatch inspection) to make sure everything is set up correctly and safely for you.

We've teamed up with Cycleplan Insurance to offer 4 WEEKS FREE Bike Insurance, providing Bicycle cover up to £4,000 and Clothing/Accessories cover up to £500!
Why do I need Insurance? Every year in the UK around 500,000 bicycles are stolen - that's one every minute. Mistakenly, many cyclists assume their bikes are protected under their household insurance, and it's only when they make a claim that they discover there are limitations to this. To avoid these shortcomings it makes sense to take out specialist cycling insurance.
Interest Free Finance available on orders over £250. T&C's apply. Learn more
Split your monthly payments easily with 0% Finance when you spend over £275! You can apply online or in any of our stores and it doesn't just have to be a bike you're buying to apply for finance!
Finance is available on almost every item online and in-store — even if it's below £275. If you're buying several smaller items and the total of your order meets our minimum value, then you're able to checkout using finance.

Our size guides will help you choose the most comfortable size for you. First though, you will need to measure yourself as accurately as possible, we've put together some tips to help you get the correct measurement.
With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
You Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that, as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up and get it sent out to you - it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery Dates provided on product pages.

Because of the near impossibilty to merge all Gettysburg threads (or threads dealing with specific areas in Gettysburg i.e. Sach's Bridge, Little Round Top, Devil's Den, Farnsworth House etc), I'm asking you all to do me a HUGE favor.
If your looking to share an experience you've had, or looking to ask questions about Gettysburg, please make use of our wonderful GV search function to see if there is an exsisting thread pertaining to your topic or location of interest. This could also be true of any location or subject outside of Gettysburg.
I personally would be very greatful, and it would help us to keep Ghost Village tidy and maybe revive some great older topics.
Thank You for taking the time to read this,

NEW YORK, N.Y. - A decade after Dr. Mark Greene hung up his white lab coat for good on "ER," Anthony Edwards is back as the star of a new television series.
He plays Hank Galliston, a magazine publisher wrapped up in an historical mystery after his wife is kidnapped on ABC's "Zero Hour," which premieres Feb. 14 at 8 p.m. EST. The action thriller requires an audience to concentrate as the story unfolds layer by layer.
The road back to series television took Edwards many miles to travel — literally thousands upon thousands.
Edwards' character Greene was the heart of what was then television's most popular drama before the actor bowed out after eight years. Upon leaving, "I didn't really have a plan other than I knew I wasn't going to jump into a series again and I knew that I was really tired and burnt out," he said.
Professionally, maybe. Personally, Greene had a clear strategy. The California native moved his wife and four children to New York. He was going to spend time raising his kids and give his artist wife time to establish her career, before they took off on a dream adventure.
While fellow actors George Clooney and Julianna Margulies left "ER" quickly to try other things, Edwards committed himself to a four-year contract. At the time, the commitment seemed huge — four years seems a lot longer at age 36 than it does now, when he's 50 — but the decision set him up financially for life.
He bought a plane and took the family (and two teachers) on a 310-day trip around the world, through Africa, India, Southeast Asia and just about every exotic place you could imagine.
"It sounds like 'Howdy Doody,'" Edwards said. "But I've never met the older man who wishes he had spent less time with his kids while they were young. You don't meet anybody who says, 'God, I wish I had worked harder and was gone more.'"
He had an opportunity that few people have.
"I've always been able to pay for what I needed and always done what I've wanted," he said. "It got crazy when it was, yeah, we can buy a plane and go around the world, but that wasn't the goal. That was no more excessive than when I was 20 and I could buy a $150 pair of boots because I wanted them. It feels extravagant in the same way."
He didn't leave the business. Edwards was always comfortable behind the scenes, and had been close to leaving acting for directing before getting the "ER" job. He has his own production company, Grand Central Entertainment, and was an executive producer of HBO's "Temple Grandin." He did some film acting, in "Zodiac" and the memorable flop "Motherhood."
Showtime's loss proved ABC's gain. Grand Central developed a series about a high-end public relations firm that Edwards had planned to act in and when Showtime passed, he found himself with free time. Edwards started looking at other scripts and found "Zero Hour" to be "a total page-turner."
Zack Estrin, one of the show's four executive producers, couldn't believe his luck.
"It's an honour when somebody who could have his choice of shows chooses yours," he said. "It's like, the prom queen chooses you to have a dance."
Having a well-known actor attach himself to your project has its obvious benefits, and Estrin hopes some viewers try out "Zero Hour" just to see what Edwards is doing. The danger is that television has its cases of actors being so defined by an overwhelmingly successful role that viewers have a hard time seeing them do something else. Edwards believes the characters he has chosen guard against that.
"My career has never been based on the fact that I was an action hero or a specific kind of comedian," Edwards said. "What's fun about it is it appears a little bit boring, but for me the subtleties of what is going on is what makes it fun."
In many ways, Mark Greene was designed to be a person that viewers can relate to. Same thing Galliston. The show needs a character to steady the boat, Estrin said.
"That's what Anthony is," he said. "He's somebody who's solid and dependable, somebody the audience can trust. On a show where you don't know who you can trust and who you can believe, it's important to have somebody at the centre you know you can."
Keep your eyes open for an inside joke. In one episode where Galliston is depicted escaping from pursuers he puts on a lab coat and walks through a medical facility. Mark Greene lives!
The young actor who once learned by example from Hal Holbrook and Sean Penn is now leading the same way himself, demonstrating to younger cast members the importance of showing up on time and knowing your lines. Edwards enjoys the comfort of being back on a television set.
"I understand how a day on a set is supposed to go and it makes perfect sense," he said. "It's my playground. A question from a 12-year-old? That's when it gets tough. Raising kids is hard."

Many retirement plan record keepers have failed to capture their fair share of the IRA rollover market—and this oversight creates a massive opportunity for advisors, according to recent research from McKinsey & Co.
McKinsey partner Céline Dufétel laid out the essentials of capturing IRA rollover assets at a breakout session at Pershing Insite 2012 on Thursday in Hollywood, Fla. Noting that IRAs are expected to generate as much as $500 billion in each of the next few years, Dufétel said these flows will represent 40% to 50% of net new money for retail brokerages and registered investment advisors between now and 2015.
"Most people leave behind a long trail of 401(k) or IRA accounts," Dufétel said of McKinsey's findings, which involved many interviews in people's homes to talk about their feelings about retirement. "It's funny how many people tell you, 'I just gave up trying to roll over my account because it was too complicated."
Rollovers are a good trigger point for advisors to establish a wider relationship with clients, noted Pershing retirement practice leader Rob Cirrotti in an interview after Dufétel's Insite session.
"If you look at the retirement marketplace, IRAs represent the largest percentage of asset management opportunities," Cirrrotti said.
Contrary to common advisor belief, IRAs represent a significant share of client assets across all wealth segments, with 91% of households owning such accounts, ranging from $100,000 to $5 million in investable assets, according to the McKinsey research.
What are the most widespread misconceptions about client behavior when it comes to IRA rollovers? Advisors should take a closer look at these five misconceptions, according to Dufétel:
1) Misconception: Investment options and fees drive consumer decisions. Reality: Convenience and perception of simplicity is often the leading decision factor for consumers who prefer the path of least resistance.
2) Misconception: Consumers who have advisors automatically roll over assets with them. Reality: A surprisingly large number of advisors don't address the issue with their clients, even though rollovers and IRA consolidation are critical client acquisition events.
3) Misconception: IRAs don't bring in substantial assets from the affluent or high net worth. Reality: IRAs represent close to 20% of assets for households with $500,000 to $5 million in investable assets.
4) Misconception: IRA rollovers are rare and hard to predict, so the opportunity closes quickly. Reality: One out of five brokerage customers experience a rollover event each year, such as a job change or divorce, and advisors typically have a one- to three-month window before consumers move assets away from the plan after the trigger event.
5) Misconception: A sale is closed when the client agrees to roll over assets. Reality: Consumers easily disengage when the process takes too long or is too complex, and players can lose as much as 60% of applicants during the rollover process.

'American Homecomings' to chronicle lives of returning veterans
(May 1, 2012) -- Digital First Media today launched "American Homecomings," a year-long, company-wide project that will chronicle the lives of returning veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
The soldiers will share their experiences as they reintegrate into American society and shed light on the challenges they face upon returning from the battlefield.
"American Homecomings" will tell the stories of eight soldiers from around the country who represent a range of experiences: some have incurred brutal injuries or psychological scars, some have broken marriages, some are unemployed and some maintain very intact lives.
The Oakland Press contributed a story about Michigan's Rosemarie Young and Tyler Kenny, a couple who met at Michigan Army National Guard training and served together in Iraq. Now back in Michigan, they're married and have a newborn.
The site will tell these stories using multiple storytelling methods: stories, videos, photos, data, interactivity and others. It'll also take advantage of today's fluid nature of storytelling by providing frequent updates so that readers can follow the soldiers on their journeys.
The site -- which will be promoted across DFM properties -- will also feature a searchable database for national veteran services such as counseling and job placement. The database was built by Warrior Gateway, which is partnering with Digital First Media on this project.
"This is a very important story to tell, one we thought was the perfect subject for our first DFM-wide project," said Jim Brady, editor-in-chief of Digital First Media. "Individually, our newspapers and web sites have very strong voices in their communities, but we felt that we could even more powerfully tell this story by combining efforts across the country. This will be the first of many projects we will produce this way, and we're excited about it."
In addition to telling soliders' stories, "American Homecomings" will also feature links to bloggers from around the country who write on military affairs and Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans. It will also be a venue for friends and family to write remembrances of loved ones or for veterans to share emotional memories.
The site will also relevant news stories -- from both Digital First Media properties and other news organizations - that touch on topics of importance to returning veterans. Finally, the site will keep abreast of the best essays and aggregate interesting books, movies and documentaries about this war and the people fighting it.
"We are very excited about this project and the chance to have Digital First Media properties cooperating on something of this scope," said Gregory L. Moore, editor of The Denver Post, which is coordinating the effort. "Our young men and women have been asked to make significant sacrifices and those don't end when they return home. That is an important story and we are happy to have the opportunity to tell it in a way that will help us all understand it better."
Seven Digital First properties were involved in locating soldiers willing to have their stories told: the Denver Post, The Oakland Press, Salt Lake Tribune, New Haven Register, Chico (Calif.) Enterprise Record, Contra Costa Times and the York (Pa.) Daily Record.
You can find "American Homecomings" at http://www.AmericanHomecomings.com. The project can also be tracked on Twitter at @AmerHomecomings, and on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/AmericanHomecomings.

The Best Defense Is a Good Offense
|Chiropractic Care Helps Us Help Ourselves
When we eat, we launch a complex series of digestive, endocrine, and metabolic physiologic processes. Numerous cells, tissues, organs, and systems are involved in turning our carrots, apples, grains, and proteins into energy that helps us live good lives. These complex processes don't happen on their own, though. They require timely instructions and guidance from the nerve system to work effectively and produce a coordinated result.
Chiropractic care helps the nerve system do its job as the body's master system. Chiropractic care removes nerve interference that can cause important signals to be distorted or delayed. By helping ensure that the nerve system is free of interference, chiropractic care assists us in achieving peak physiologic performance, promoting long-term health and well-being.

Parent Directory | Revision Log
|Links to HEAD:
|(view) (download) (annotate)
Allow java-pkg_get-javac to be called alone. Fixes bug #172594. Thanks to sping for the patch. Also simplify die logic around java-pkg_javac-args. die handling has improved since this was written.
Document JAVA_RM_FILES variable. Also, fix documentation and correct typos in java-pkg_rm_files.
Fix JAVA_RM_FILES by simplifying java-utils-2_src_prepare on the basis that we won't be committing EAPI 0|1 ebuilds any more.
Introduce java-pkg_rm_files as a helper function along with JAVA_RM_FILES array to readily get rid of useless files. Derived from perl_rm_files by Kent Fredric.
The -source flag was added in 1.3 or 1.4 (not sure) and we have special code to handle this but no one in their right mind would build with 1.2 or 1.3 now. Removing this code allows the ecj-gcj ebuild to call java-pkg_javac-args without a proper VM present.
Allow EANT_GENTOO_CLASSPATH_EXTRA to work when EANT_GENTOO_CLASSPATH is unset.
Add java-pkg_addres function for adding resource files to an existing jar.
The depend-java-query wrapper is raising readonly variable warnings for USE in Portage 2.2.20. As best I can tell, this wrapper just isn't needed any more because USE is already exported. I guess it wasn't back in 2006?
Bump everyone to java-config 2.2.
Make java-pkg_doso always install with mode 0755, which is more like dolib.so. Closes bug #225729.
Skip java-dep-check for ant tasks wrt bug #298955. Fix missing ant-core dependency SLOT. Fix recording of BUILD_DEPEND. Fix java-pkg_ensure-dep matching and adjust the error message. Fix automatic loading of ant-junit and junit wrt bug #513522 among others.
Consider SLOTs when checking Java dependencies. Comment out the longer error message for now to avoid spamming both users and ourselves because this issue is currently widespread.
Add ejavadoc function. Thanks to wltjr. Fixes bug #544076.
Only refer to DESTTREE within the src_install phase.
Convert comments for eclass manpages. Heavily based on work from ercpe, bug #476946.
Don't add subslots to JAVA_PKG_NAME (bug #482270 by chutzpah).
Request package specific emerge --info in death hook.
Be graceful if no system vm is set if trying to determine build vm from handle.
Remove java-pkg_ensure-gcj and java-pkg_ensure-test. #261562 #278965
Add JAVA_PKG_WANT_BUILD_VM to allow limiting build VM by VM handle. The main aim is to allow respecting the system VM, if possible, for a subset of VMs provided by the jdk virtuals. Thanks to Vlastimil Babka <firstname.lastname@example.com> for contributing the variable name and review.
Update copyright years in headers
No longer require JDK for installing java binpkg. #206024
Add -Dmaven.test.skip=true for eant() in src_compile for easier usage of maven-generated build.xml. Bug #388507, patch by Ralph Sennhauser
Remove LANG=C and LC_ALL=C override in pkg_setup(), bug #330433.
Fix icedtea vendor match. Reported by sera.
Add sandbox exceptions for icedtea:7. Reported by sera.
Fix sandbox violations reported in bugs #371827 and #382465.
trim useless trailing whitespace
Convert every instance of hasq to has.
Remove unused variable from eant doc.
Fix ejunit4 doc.
Use JUnitCore as a runner for junit4 and create symlinks for examples. Improve ejunit docs. Thanks to Ralph Sennhauser <firstname.lastname@example.com> for both patches.
Minor ejunit4 doc. fix.
Add ejunit4() function to run Junit4 tests.
Support version globbing when checking dependencies, bug #315123.
Allow JAVA_PKG_NV_DEPEND override in java-pkg_needs-vm()
Use sort -u instead of uniq so all duplicates are removed.
Add a separate java-pkg_get-bootclasspath function and make java-pkg_rewrite-bootclasspath use it.
Raise the minimum java-config version to 2.1.9-r1 to solve #301261.
Add support for rewriting bootclasspath in build.xml and JAVA_PKG_WANT_BOOTCLASSPATH variable.
Add build-only jar recording support.
Remove obsolete JAVA_PKG_VNEED support.
Use dosym in java_pkg-doso and fix few debug prints. Patch by Davide Pesavento <email@example.com> in bug #251500.
Simply java-pkg_func-exists using suggestions by ciaranm and dberkholz on gentoo-dev.
run java_prepare before bundled jar check and use EBUILD_PHASE to detect when to run it
Move java_prepare call inside the check for if the function has already been run.
Add support for java_prepare so that we don't always have to call java-pkg-2_src_prepare in src_prepare.
Move pkg_preinst to java-utils-2 and add it to java-pkg-opt-2.
Only add sys-apps/portage to dependencies with EAPI 0 or 1.
Add EANT_NEEDS_TOOLS variable for adding tools.jar to gentoo.classpath, bug #231673 by James Le Cuirot <email@example.com>.
Raise java-config dependency to latest version that works better with virtuals.
Unset ANT_RESPECT_JAVA_HOME introduced to fix bug #151884.
Move the src_prepare export from java-utils-2 to java-pkg-2 and java-pkg-opt-2 (where it's now called only if USE=java).
Run java-config --help to see if the user hasn't run python-updater.
Make EXPORT_FUNCTIONS conditional now that I figured out why it was dying.
Remove conditionals from EXPORT_FUNCTIONS until I figure out why it fails sourcing.
Move build.xml rewriting from eant to java-ant-2_src_configure and bundled jar checking to java-utils-2_src_prepare.
Add support for EANT_GENTOO_CLASSPATH_EXTRA.
Add missing die
Extend WANT_ANT_TASKS to accept full pkg atoms.
Always put junit to gentoo.classpath when ANT_TASKS has ant-junit. Fixes bug #225981.
Prepare eclasses to support javatoolkit move.
fix typo in ejunit
Fix ejunit to work when the package has no dependencies and getjars to work with VM provided virtuals.
Adding EAPI=1 suppport to java functions.
Add the ability to get GENTOO_COMPILER from the JDK config. This enables things like jamvm to use ecj. Record SLOT in package.env.
Make ANT_TASKS="none" the new default, bug #203750.
Fix function name in die message in java-pkg_getjar().
Fix --virtual parameter handling in java-pkg_getjar.
A typo in my last commit.
Improvements to dojavadoc.
Can't use export with JAVA_OPTIONS so just put back the unset. The warning given to users should be enough even if the unset does not currently work.
Use export VAR= instead of unset because Portage does not preserve unsetting across functions.
Make -Dbuild.sysclasspath=ignore mandatory in eant(). Bug #142538.
Make JAVA_PKG_IUSE work with java-pkg-opt-2 too.
Adding java-virtuals-2.eclass and updating java-utils-2.eclass to add support for java virtuals.

Adding PDEPEND support to ensure-dep function
Add java-pkg_register-environment-variable function. Needs new java-config release before it can be used.
Add ejunit
Export LANG="C" LC_ALL="C" for all JDK's and not just IBM. Fixes bug #170367 and generally should make our life easier.
Automatically determine funcname in check-phase(); make announce-qa-violation output QA notices even without java-strict, and die with java-strict, unless called with --nodie; update all calls to the function to reflect this.
Fix previous commit, damn.
Remove IFS mangling instance with potential breakage.
Fix java-pkg_jar-from() when called with multiple comma-separated packages wrt ensure-dep and build-only.
Fix automatic build-only in src_test that I broke with previously.
Adding java-pkg_register-dependency() function.
Local variable declaration made paranoidly safe.
Use the full deptree with EANT_GENTOO_CLASSPATH when in src_test.

Improve output and comments for java-pkg_verify-classes().
Added class version verifying when JAVA_PKG_STRICT is in effect. Thanks to ali_bush.
Fix java-pkg_jar-from that Caster broke with his last --into addition.
Fix typo
eant -lib is deprecated and should not be used
Move inherit java-ant-2 check to eant itself from the generic src_compile in java-pkg-2.
Quote "${@}" in for loops again.
Improve handling --* options order in jar-from, getjar{s}. Fix situation when they are called in src_test without --build-only (no param shift). Adds --into $dir parameter to jar-from().
Don't record dependencies when the ebuild phase is test, all those dependencies should be build only.
Added maven.mode.offline to properties we always pass to ant
Add split-ant functionality to relevant eclasses. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Make eant add -q to ant options with PORTAGE_QUIET is set.
Improve debug output
Added --with-dependencies option to jar-from and getjars and made dojar warn when overwriting an existing destination jar.

Add -Dnoget=true as default parameter to ant in eant()
Added wrapper for depend-java-query to pass USE flags. This and java-config-2.0.31 will fix bug #156228. This eclass should be changed to depend on 2.0.31 when it is stable.
Make java-pkg-2.eclass die on pkg_setup if FEATURES has test, IUSE has test and use test is true.
Use the proper platform include directory for jni (for FreeBSD and Linux at least).
Call die if unable to determine VM from deps.
Used wrong IFS for looping over the argument and added a comment for the TODO of nichoj wondering what dohtml -f package-list does.

Fix for current-vm-matches by Caster
Switched 'java-strict' from being a FEATURE to being a variable.
Added helper method to ensure that when FEATURE=test, then USE=test as well, or dies otherwise. Should probably be used in pkg_setup when appropriate.
Added accessor methods for current vm, java-pkg_get-current-vm. Added metho,d java-pkg_current-vm-matches, which checks current vm against a list of possible vms.
Fixed is-java-strict to respect FEATURES=-java-strict

vaughn03 wrote:Thanks - I tried to do things to make the Spice Islands stand out on the upper map but it all just felt tacked on and made it more cluttered. Now the shapes match so I think it's easier to make the leap. Keeping lines to a minimum will help - looking forward to suggestions.

Recessed Lighting
Recessed Trims
A recessed trim is the portion of your recessed light that is visible within your room. Lamps.com offers many high quality recessed trims which can blend into your ceiling or boldly stand out in a wide variety of styles, sizes and finishes to fit your needs.
Recessed Housings
A recessed housing is hidden from view, so selecting the proper housing is based on the style of trim you want, as well as various lighting and electrical requirements for your specific situation. Here you will find a variety of recessed lighting housings that can be installed within your ceiling for attractive, unobtrusive lighting in your home.
Suitable for use in any room, recessed lights are a discreet way to create ambiance. Recessed lighting is installed directly into the ceiling of your home, creating a clean look. Choose from the many different recessed light options available to customize your lighting solution to meet the needs of your situation.
- What do I need to purchase to make a complete recessed ceiling light?
A complete recessed fixture requires both a housing and a trim. The trim is the visible portion of the recessed light, so you will want to select the look you are aiming for in your home. The housing contains the electrical components needed to operate the light. Selecting the housings depends on a number of factors, such as new construction or remodel and an IC or Non-IC rating.
- Should I start with a housing or a trim?
If you know the look you are going for, you can start with the housing, we will then help you choose the right housing right on the page the trim is on! If you want to start with the housings, we will do the same, and show you the compatible trims on the housing page.
- How do I pick a recessed housing?
Start with determining whether the housing is for new construction (new work) or an existing application (old work). First, determine if it is new construction (new work) or existing construction (old work). If there is drywall installed then you need an old work housing. If there is no drywall then you need a new work housing. Secondly, decide if you need a IC or Non-IC rated housing. IC stands for "Insulation Contact", If there will be insulation coming into contact or within three inches of the housing then make sure the housing you choose is IC rated. (Some building codes require IC rated housings regardless of whether there will be insulation contact or not, check your local code to ensure compliance.)
- Where are MultiSpots best used?
MultiSpot recessed lights are best used in a situation that requires adjustable lighting as each light in a multiple spot is individually adjustable. Generally, they are best suited for retail and commercial situations, however, they could fit in perfect in a large room in your home.

Safe car
By Nell on Wednesday, February 05, 2020As for safety, I was impressed when 3 years ago another vehicle ran a red light and hit me on my drivers side about middle of my Sorento when it began to roll over. I was very secure in my seat and although I did not know what was happening at the time while my vehicle was rolling over and ended up with the the drivers side face down on the highway, my seatbelt held me securely in my seat and airbags protected me. Though they had to break my windshield to get me out, I got out of my Sorento shook up but walking and tiny scratch on my arm. The paramedics were a husband and wife team who were in the process of looking for a safe vehicle and looked at the Sorentos reviews and was thinking of buying one. When they saw how I survived the crash and the great condition I was in they said we know now what vehicle we are going to purchase. My husband was able to see under the car while it was on its side and said wow it is really strong and made well and we went out and purchaserd another Sorento 2 days later.

A great car for the price
By DB on Friday, May 24, 2019I have driven high end cars all of my life and my Sorento is one of the absolute best I have ever owned. Fit and finish, inside and out, is perfect, and gas mileage has exceeded, by far, what I was told to expect. I feel sorry for those consumers whose egos won't let them own a Kia. The are missing out on owning a very high quality car

Our Second Sorento
By jsh1120 on Sunday, October 28, 2018Purchased a 2018 Sorento SX-L in January 2018. We looked at a variety of midsize crossovers and seriously considered the Ford Edge, Toyota Highlander, and Mazda CX-9 before trading our 2012 Sorento. Several factors went into our decision. An important factor was our 70K plus trouble free miles in our 2012 Sorento. Never so much as a single "check engine" light nor any other issue. Like most Kia owners (as reported in Consumer Reports) we found the Sorento to be ultra-reliable. Along with the superior warranties offered by Kia, it gave us confidence in the 2018 model. Otherwise, the size of the Sorento was a major point in its favor. Its overall length is virtually the same as the Ford Edge but the KIA has usable third row seating while the Edge does not. It is almost a foot shorter than the CX-9 but has more passenger and cargo room! In short, for our mission (suburban traffic and people hauling) the Sorento is better suited and more maneuverable than the other crossovers we considered. We chose the top trim of the Sorento, the SX-L. We found it superior to the top trims of the Highlander and Edge and at least equal to that of the Signature trim of the CX-9. (The Sorento has a panoramic sunroof and third row HVAC controls; the CX-9 does not.) In terms of overall performance the Ford Edge Sport with a turbo V6 was a clear winner. If 0-60 time had been a priority the Ford would have had an "edge." (Sorry.) The others we considered were virtually identical. But the Sorento and Highlander have naturally aspirated V6 engines compared to the turbo 4 of the Mazda and the Ford's turbo V6. Turbocharging is an appealing technology in terms of performance but in terms of long-term reliability and smooth, quiet operation naturally aspirated V6 engines are simply better. After 10,000 miles we're extremely satisfied with the Sorento. Trouble free, comfortable, feature rich, and maneuverable in the jungle of suburban traffic and parking lots, it's all we could ask for.

|Acropora (1)
Staghorn corals are among the fastest growing corals on reefs, and are excellent reef-builders (2). The name Acropora literally means a porous stem or branch (3), but Acropora species express a much greater variety of growth forms than the name suggests. Colonies can resemble antlers (staghorns) and be up to two meters tall, or can form delicately engineered plates and tables that may be up to three meters across. They can also form bush-like structures, some with short non-dividing branches like the fingers of a hand (2). Staghorn corals often out-compete all other corals in shallow tropical reefs, however, their speed of growth (which can be up to 10 to 20 centimetres a year (4)) is balanced by the fragility of some of the structures, as they are easily damaged in storms allowing other coral species a chance of growth. With 368 Acropora species currently known, and with such an amazing array of shapes, sizes and colours, identifying individual species can be a tricky task (2).
Like many corals, staghorn corals have a special symbiotic relationship with algae, called zooxanthellae. The zooxanthellae live inside the tissues of the coral and provide the coral with food, which it produces through photosynthesis and therefore requires sunlight. In return, the coral provides the algae with protection and access to sunlight.
Staghorn corals are reef-building or hermatypic corals, and are incredibly successful at this task for two reasons. Firstly, they have light skeletons which allow them to grow quickly and out-compete their neighbouring corals. Secondly, the skeleton, or corallite, of a new polyp, is built by specialised 'axial' corallites. These axial corallites form the tips of branches, and as a result, all the corallites of a colony are closely interconnected and can grow in a coordinated manner (2).
Staghorn corals reproduce sexually or asexually. Sexual reproduction occurs via the release of eggs and sperm into the water. Most staghorn corals on the Great Barrier Reef sexually reproduce simultaneously, an incredible event that occurs soon after the full moon, from October to December. Streams of pinkish eggs are released from corallites on the sides of branches, to be fertilized by sperm released from other polyps at the same time. The water turns milky from all the eggs and sperm released from thousands of colonies. Some of the resulting larvae settle quickly on the same reef, whilst others may drift around for months, finally settling on reefs hundreds of kilometers away (2). Asexual reproduction occurs via fragmentation, when a branch breaks off a colony, reattaches to the substrate and grows (3).
This is the most abundant coral of most reefs in the Indo-Pacific (2), and three species also occur in the western Atlantic and Caribbean region (3).
Staghorn corals occur in tropical reef environments, down to a depth of 30 meters. The upper depth limit is defined by wave action, whilst the lower limit at which Acropora can inhabit is determined by light availability and the amount of suspended sediments. Staghorn corals require normal marine salinity (4).
Listed on Appendix II of CITES (1).
Staghorn corals face the many threats that are impacting coral reefs globally. At present, around one third of the world's reef-building corals are threatened with extinction. The principal threat to corals is the rise in sea temperature associated with global climate change. This leads to coral bleaching, where the symbiotic algae are expelled, leaving the corals weak and vulnerable to an increasing variety of harmful diseases. Climate change is also expected cause more extreme weather incidents and to increase ocean acidification, which impairs the coral's ability to form a skeleton. These global threats are compounded by localised threats from pollution, destructive fishing practices, invasive species and human development (5).
Staghorn corals are considered to be environmentally sensitive corals that require clear, well-circulated water. Unlike other corals, which can obtain nourishment from zooplankton, staghorn corals are almost entirely dependent on the zooxanthellae for food. This means that sunlight is essential, and they are particularly sensitive to any human activities that increase water turbidity, reducing light availability (3).
Two of the three Acropora species in the Atlantic were once very abundant, but in recent decades have remained at low levels of abundance, with no signs of recovery and in some areas, continued decline. These species are believed to be most greatly threatened by disease, temperature-induced bleaching, and physical damage from hurricanes. Threats from anthropogenic physical damage (e.g. vessel groundings, anchors, divers, snorkelers), coastal development, competition and predation are deemed to be moderate. The threat from collection or harvest was deemed abated by effective national and international regulations (3).
Acropora species constituted 13 percent of the global coral trade between 1985 and 1997. Coral is harvested for building materials, curios, jewellery, and for aquariums. Staghorn corals are more common in the dead coral trade, rather than the live aquarium trade (6).
Staghorn corals are listed on Appendix II of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), and therefore trade in this coral should be carefully regulated, and a permit is required to bring the coral, or objects made from them, into the countries that have signed the CITES convention (1). Staghorn corals will also form part of the marine community in many marine protected areas, or in areas where management plans are in place to protect the coral community. In some areas, coral reefs restoration attempts are being undertaken; in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, efforts have been made to reattach coral fragments, or culture and settle coral larvae. Both activities have had limited success, and new techniques are being pursued (4).

In his own words: living with irritable bowel syndrome
Jeffrey, 40, developed irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) while still a teenager. Not only has he learned to manage the disease so that he can continue to live a full and active life, Jeffrey also founded and runs a support group for other IBS sufferers. Here's his story.
What was your first sign that something was wrong? What symptoms did you experience?
Severe pain associated with bowel movements. It was uncontrollable, like someone taking a knife and dragging it across my abdomen.
What was the diagnosis experience like?
I was only 15 when my symptoms began, so my mother took me to doctor after doctor. In those days doctors called it spastic colon or nervous stomach, and I felt like it was all in my head, that I was responsible for causing my pain.
I had thorough upper and lower gastrointestinal workups, scans of the large and small intestine. They tested me for celiac disease, Crohn's disease, irritable bowel disease, even lactose intolerance. I had blood tests, had a sigmoidoscopy, and eventually had a colonoscopy.
What was your initial and then longer-term reaction to the diagnosis?
I had a teenager's concerns about my body, wondering whether everything was normal, so this was especially hard to deal with. It was a real turning point when I realized there was a light at the end of the tunnel, that the symptoms come and go and I wouldn't always feel so badly. I have more perspective now, and can appreciate that I'll go through good times and bad times.
How do you manage irritable bowel syndrome?
There's no cure, and everyone has to find the treatment that works for them, though there are helpful medications. I take antispasmodic medication for the pain, I'm careful about what I eat, and I've found breathing exercises (which I learned to help me get over a fear of flying) to be incredibly helpful in coping with IBS flare-ups. The pain is worse, or at least feels more intense, when you're tense and nervous; the breathing exercises help me to feel calmer and more in control.
Did you have to make any lifestyle or dietary changes in response to irritable bowel syndrome?
No direct correlation has been found between diet and irritable bowel syndrome, and each patient has to find what works for them. I find it helpful to keep my bowel full. For people suffering from constipation with their IBS, this might contribute to the problem, but in my case adding roughage and fiber helps me. I used to stop eating and go on liquids when having a flare-up, but I've learned that for me, adding 100% whole wheat bread to my diet and eating vegetables like broccoli help. I also know, though, what works one day or one week may not work at another time.
Did you seek any type of emotional support?
My family has been terrific—my wife and I met as teenagers and she knew what she was getting into. I also have a really supportive employer—this can be a difficult and embarrassing disease to manage if your employer isn't understanding about times when I may have to leave my desk or even a meeting to go to the bathroom immediately. And having a good relationship with your doctor, finding one who will really listen to you, is key—mine is wonderful.
Does irritable bowel syndrome have any impact on your family?
Yeah, it really does. They may have to wait for me to go to the bathroom one more time if we're heading off on an outing, or understand that I may need to lie down before we can go, or that I may not be able to go at all. I know what my limitations are and so do my wife and kids.
What advice would you give to anyone living with irritable bowel syndrome?
Know that you are not alone! Connect with other IBS sufferers either in person or on the Internet. It helps to know that you're not the only one who can't always go out just when you need to or want to, or who can't eat a certain food that you enjoy. Having your illness validated in this way—knowing that it's not in your head, that other people understand—is terribly important.

Kim Kardashian confronts intruder at Kris Jenner's home
Kim Kardashian came face to face with an intruder Sunday at Kris Jenner's home.
No, I don't think Kris Humphries was playing in L.A. last weekend.
The 20-year-old man was caught by police after casing Jenner's Hidden Hills home, according to TMZ.
He reportedly drove from Arizona and arrived at the home around 4 p.m. He somehow got past security and started peering through windows. That was about the time Kardashian showed up, saw him, and called police while the man fled.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's deputies found Mr. Creepy a few blocks away, according to TMZ. He apparently told them he was Kendall Jenner's boyfriend and Justin Bieber's stepbrother.
That sounds about right.
So, of course, he was taken into custody (the Arizona guy, not Justin Bieber) and placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold. Law enforcement sources told TMZ the man "reeked of body odor."
Well, yeah. That's a long drive from Arizona.
It wasn't known how the suspect got past the family's security, but there were probably at least a couple guys looking for employment in the security industry Monday morning.
