Monday-Thursday: Closed
Gallery of Dreams
Phyllis Jenkins, artist/owner, manages this friendly, intimate gallery of talented local artists located in the Courtyard, Downtown Campbell. Your eyes will never rest as you scan the wide variety of fine art paintings, available in a variety of sizes to match your budget. Throughout the year you can visit, ask questions, and get to know each artist as they paint, draw or greet guests in the gallery. There will be frequent solo shows featuring a theme or individual artist. Guest artists with unique and creative gift offerings are also featured. Commissions and consignments are available; you will find small, seasonal gift items too!
Phyllis Jenkins whose style embraces pop art, symbolism, and abstract expressionism says, "My art reflects my fascination with the drama of life through the play of color, and the message of gesture and texture." The symbolic tradition of vintage poster artists provide inspiration for her colorful, dynamic paintings which can be emotionally striking or quirky and playful. She says, "All art is a Rorscharch. The viewer is as important as the symbol emerging from the sculpture or the canvas."
Carol Bower is an impressionist landscape painter in acrylics and pastel who especially enjoys the beauty and spiritual connection she feels to the landscape. Carol says, "For me art is a sentimental journey…a recording of feelings and an opportunity to show reverence for the beauty and variety of the natural world. Through the language of art I can express the joy I feel when creating a magical world of unlimited possibilities for combining colors, shapes, lines, and textures."
Carol Greene has found the human figure and face her primary source of inspiration for her paintings. Carol works from observation as well as photographs and enjoys using a variety of media. She says, "While a realistic likeness of my subject is at times important I am always hoping to allow more than the surface representation to come through. Doing art connects me to an otherwise hidden part of myself and provides opportunities for connections with others who respond to my work."
Marina Hanson, whose artwork can be categorized as surrealistic, sometimes abstract, but the constant elements in her work are the vibrancy of the colors and vivid contrasts. She says, "In my paintings, my imagination runs wild as I attempt to paint more than I see." By capturing her deepest thoughts and feelings on canvas, Marina connects with the viewer a desire for beauty, poetics, and seduction. Every art piece she has created has a story to tell.
Katy Kindig is a painter who likes to see the mark of the tool or the mark of a brush stroke on her paintings. She sometimes uses pencil, or stencils on the wet paint. Katy says, "I start with a limited color palette and look for the colors and shapes most of all. Wheather I am painting a California Landscape, portrait, or still life, I look for the shapes and colors and how everything interacts." Be sure to check out her wonderful dog portraits…so full of character.
Lorraine Lawson is an abstract expressionist, with an emphasis on "lyrical abstraction." She says, "my abstract works not only encompass the formal elements of composition, color, value, and texture, but communicate concepts, mindset, ideas, and emotion. My work evolves along with my relation to the natural world. Culture and lifestyle are themes that invite the viewer to develop a connection to my work." Lorraine also expresses her love of nature in more traditional landscape paintings.

If you are of an adventurous nature, then you might like to consider a holiday in Cameroon. This West African country has both a French and English colonial history, and in addition, boasts all the main African landscapes within one country. A holiday rental villa in Cameroon is a wonderful accommodation option for those people that truly wish to be independent as they explore this fascinating country. It has everything you need to feel comfortably at home from the moment that you arrive, to the moment that you leave once more.
The location of your self catering accommodation in Cameroon will have an effect on what leisure activities are available. If you are by the ocean, then you can expect all the normal things such as swimming, diving and kayaking. If staying near a major city, then there will be more than one golf course to choose from, and further inland, cycling, hiking and mountain climbing can all be enjoyed. These are only some examples of the many on offer during your holiday in Cameroon.
Visitors looking to take a holiday in Cameroon will find that the country has a lot to offer those that are willing to take the time to explore. It is a place of perfect contrasts, from unspoilt stretches of golden, sandy beaches, to Western Africa's highest mountain, Mount Cameroon. The country also has its fair share of interesting museums, from ethnological through to art museums, and many of these can be visited in the main city of Douala. Any chance to take a trip to hear some traditional music should be taken, as should visiting any of the small villages that still maintain a way-of-life seemingly unchanged for thousands of years.
Cameroon is a large country, and so only a general guideline can be given about the weather there. From November through to February, the south of the country is hot and dry, whilst a rainy season runs from May through to October. The interior grassland areas are noticeably cooler than the coastal sections, and of course the plateau regions being higher up experience temperature drops at night. The best months to take a holiday in Cameroon are between January and April, when the rainfall is less and the temperatures not reaching the extreme highs.
The largest airport in Cameroon, is the international one located just a few miles outside of Douala (DLA). This mainly connects with other African countries, and in fact, no direct connection with the UK exists. Therefore, if you are looking to travel from the UK to your holiday rental villa in Cameroon, you should first fly to Paris (CDG), and from there, take an Air France flight through to Cameroon. If your self catering accommodation in Cameroon is in Douala, then you can simply organise transport there on arrival. If it is further afield, then you should organise a vehicle well in advance.

For an artist specializing in life paintings, a good work cannot be produced if the settings before him are not compelling. Just the same, a director without a setting appropriate to the film he is making would not be able to create the world in which he can tell his story.
If a cinematographer's role is to capture the key moments of a filmic world, then the set designer is the person who helps the director construct the world he envisions, realizing on the screen the director's visions through architecture and decorations. The set designer's contributions to film are vitally important, yet the roles they play have often been neglected. Generally, set designers are required within a short span of time to build their sets, work that includes contemplating on the script, conducting research, fabricating drawings and coordinating with different departments such as carpentry and props. Without one's realization, a film's success may largely depend on the work of the set designer.
In the 1930s, Hong Kong cinema was still in a rudimentary state-of-the-state. Facilities in studios were far from state of the art. Chan Ki-yui (1908﹣1996) started his film career wanting to be an actor but ended up working behind-the-scenes, becoming a set designer at the age of 29. He worked on a wide variety of genres, with over 400 titles to his credit in a career that started in the 1930s and lasting till the 1970s, when he passed his mantle to his son. From the theatre stage of The Pangs of Love (1947) to the westernstyle 15th century palace of Lady Robin Hood (1947), from the wealthy home in Everlasting Love (1964) to the period streets in One-Armed Swordsman (1967), sets of different time periods and cultural origins were fabricated with care and flair. The conditions of walls representing the emotions of characters, the sways of willows evoking the changes in seasons, for example, his sets were always in tune with the development of the stories. When used by directors of accomplishment, the result was even more remarkable.
There is a saying: "Teacher for one day, father for an entire life". Chan Ki-yui doubled as both teacher and father in grooming his son Chan King-sam (1933﹣ ). The younger Chan entered the film industry at age 16, serving as art director to assist his father, sometimes sharing duties with his father as set designer. He quickly became a set designer in his own right, leaving his own imprint on his sets but not without inheriting his father's penchant for accuracy, efficiency and prolific productivity. Joining Shaw Brothers in 1963, Chan found a stability that allowed him to further develop his skills and creativity. He was well versed in the complicated process of set building, reputed to be able to tell how long a set could be finished by just briefly listening to the sound outside a studio stage. He also knew well the styles of Shaw Brothers directors, from their favourite colour schemes to architectural preferences. It came as no surprise that he became the designated set designer for many established directors, including Li Han-hsiang and Chor Yuen. As the studio system began to falter, Chan began working with young filmmakers, even using assumed names to build sets for New Wave directors. He retired in the mid-1980s, but remained involved in his trade serving as advisor for television productions.
Between them, the Chans had been involved in over 1,000 films. Yet they had always kept a low profile, never calling attention to their own work. They had experienced the many highs and lows of the Hong Kong film industry, worked with production conditions the most primitive as well as the most technologically sophisticated and with budgets the most deprived as well as the most lavish. Their dedication to their craft is an embodiment of the best of the Hong Kong film industry. The 45 films presented in this programme hardly provide a full representation of their amazing accomplishment but merely stand as expressions of our admiration for them as well as other outstanding set designers.
Chan Ki-yui (1908 -1996)
Born in 1908, Chan Ki-yui graduated from The 1st Lianhua Training School for Actors in 1931 and entered the film industry afterwards. The first film he received the credit of Set Designer was The Illegitimate Son (1937, directed by Wong Toi). He worked as a freelancer for a number of studios, such as Nanyang and Wader, in his early years. He joined Shaw Brothers in the late 1950s as Set Designer and Art Director until the 1970s when he retired.
During his illustrious career of over 35 years, he had worked on more than 400 titles, including Cantonese, Mandarin and Amoy films. The directors he had worked with included Ng Wui, Lee Tit, Lee Sunfung, Griffin Yue Feng, Li Han-hsiang, Chang Cheh and Doe Ching. He also helped build the sets of Ferry to Hong Kong (1959, directed by Lewis Gilbert) and The World of Suzie Wong (1960, directed by Richard Quine) when they came to Hong Kong for location. He won three Best Art Direction Awards at the Asian Film Festival, for The Kingdom and the Beauty (1959), Back Door (1960) and The Love Eterne (1963), all directed by Li Han-hsiang.
Chan King-sam (1933 - )
The second son of Chan Ki-yui, Chan King-sam was born in 1933 in Hong Kong. He joined his father to work in film studios at the age of 16, upon his graduation from secondary school. He started by doing sketches for sets. The first film he earned the credit of Set Designer was Wild Flowers are Sweeter (1950, directed by Hung Suk-wan). He joined Shaw Brothers in 1963 as Set Designer and Art Director, and was soon promoted to first, Head of Art Department, then Studio Head. Under his patronage, a whole new generation of set designers and art directors was nurtured. During the two decades he worked in Shaw Brothers, Chan continued to design sets for other studios, including its rival, Golden Harvest, and many independent films, either uncredited or under such pseudonyms as Chin Sum, Chin Sun and Lu Ma. The last film he was involved in was Jackie Chan's Project A (1982). He continued to act as Art Consultant for Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) for many years after his retirement.
The number of films he had designed for exceeds 500. Of the directors he had worked with, the most frequent were Chor Yuen (65 films) and Li Hanhsiang (32 films). He won five Golden Horse Best Art Direction Awards, for The Empress Dowager (1975), The Adventures of Emperor Chien Lung (1977), The Dream of the Red Chamber (1977), The Tiger and the Widow (1981), all directed by Li Han-hsiang, and An Amorous Woman of Tang Dynasty (1981, directed by Eddie Fong).

Marlise Munoz, a pregnant woman who was declared brain dead in November 2013, was finally removed from life support at John Peter Smith Hospital in Forth Worth, Texas, where she was being kept on a respirator and other medical equipment despite her family's wishes.
She was placed on life support while 14 weeks pregnant after being admitted to the hospital with a blood clot in her lungs. She reportedly died shortly upon arrival at the hospital but was placed on life support. Doctors planned to keep her on life support and keep her fetus alive until it could be delivered by cesarean section.
Marlise Munoz was removed from life support on Sun., Jan. 26, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. in accordance with a court order from a state district judge after attorneys for the woman's family and John Peter Smith Hospital confirmed that the pregnancy was non-viable, according to Salon.
Although the hospital complied with the court order, spokeswoman Jill Labbe said, "J.P.S. Health Network has followed what we believe with the demands of a state statute. From the onset, J.P.S. has said its role was not to make nor contest law but to follow it."
The state law to which the spokeswoman referred barred physicians from removing life-sustaining treatment to pregnant women. The judge who ruled that the law did not apply in this case cited the fact that the Marlise Munoz was brain-dead and legally dead., according to the New York Times.

Mother Nature is handing out a triple dose of winter weather in a week's time. Midstate municipalities are doing a good job keeping up, but how are they holding up?
At Derry Township's Public Works Department Tuesday, it was the calm before the storm. Workers loaded trucks, a routine they have gone through many times this winter.
"About the time we get through one storm and our stockpile is pretty low, we get a couple deliveries in and hopefully we have enough to deal with the next one as it comes along," said Tom Clark, Director of Public Works.
This time around there is not much time in between storms.
"I feel pretty comfortable with the stockpile we have at this point for the upcoming storm tonight into tomorrow morning. Hopefully in the latter part of this week, we'll get more deliveries of salt in that we can deal with the one that's projected for Sunday into Monday," Clark said.
They have to rely on timely salt deliveries because they have already used up another resource: sugar beet juice, a natural de-icer they say works better than salt.
"Typically, we have some left over at the end of the year. This year we've gone through the supply that we had already and are going back to straight salt and anti-skid," said Clark.
So far this season, they have gone through tons of salt, literally, to keep more than 150 miles of roadway clear; exhausting not only resources but also manpower.
"The equipment's holding up well. The guys are holding up surprisingly well and doing a stellar job for what's being required of them ever since the beginning of December," Clark said. "I'm ready for winter to be over, not just this one."
Clark said the budget will be able to withstand the winter. However, it will take a pretty good hit, which could have an impact in repaving and construction come spring and summer.

After seeing the tragedy of the shooting at an Oregon mall, many people may be wondering what to do if they were ever in such a dangerous situation.
Shopper Marsha Thacker did not let fear after the Oregon mall shooting keep her from heading to some stores in Columbus on Thursday, but it did make her think about being safe.
"I'm much more aware of my surroundings when I come out too because it could happen here just like it could happen there," said Thacker
She says if she was anywhere when a mass shooting happened, she would try to be as calm as possible.
"I would have of course grabbed my child and go to the nearest exit," said Thacker.
Major Randy Robertson with the Muscogee County Sheriff's Office says you need to be familiar with your surroundings and the people around you, and if you are inside take note of where the exits are.
"The best thing to do is to either shelter in place, find a place where you can hide from the shooter or if you are near an exit, exit the building and find you a place to hide in the parking lot," said Robertson.
Even though the idea of someone attacking you at a mall or theater is terrifying, Robertson says the majority of shootings happen where the suspect knows the victims like at the work place.
He says if you cannot get out of the building close and lock your door and hide.
"In this situation, behind shelves or something like that would be a great place to conceal yourself or if you could get in between the desks or get up under the desk and pull the chair in where you are. The thing you have to remember once you get in there and concealed, you have to be quiet. If you have to use your cell phone to notify somebody then notify somebody outside that you trust by text message or something like that."
Thacker says her thoughts and prayers are with the victims from the most recent tragedy.
"It's just a tragedy that it has come to this. That you feel that you can't even really get out and go for fear that something is going to happen to you," said Thacker.
Robertson says unarmed witnesses should never approach a suspect. He says if you see anything unusual when you are out, you should notify law enforcement.

(SEATTLE) — The Seattle Mariners held a news conference Wednesday in which they signed starting pitcher Felix Hernandez to a new seven-year contract. ESPN is reporting that the deal is worth $175 million, which would make Hernandez the highest paid pitcher in baseball history.
The three-time All-Star was set to make $19.5 million this season and $20 million in 2014. His new contract will pay him an average annual salary of $25 million.
"I'll tell you this, I will do my best," Hernandez said. "We are going to make the playoffs. We are going in the right direction. We got a lot of young talent and we are going to be one of the toughest teams in the league."
The 26-year-old Hernandez has spent his entire eight-year career with the Mariners, where he has compiled a record of 98-76 with a 3.22 ERA. He has struck out 1,487 batters in 1,620 1-3 innings of work.
Hernandez won the American League Cy Young award in 2010 and pitched a perfect game against the Tampa Bay Rays last season.

State Approves $100,000 For Security Upgrades For Children's Adventure CenterFriday, July 26, 2013
HARTFORD— The state's Bond Commission announced on Friday, July 26, its approval of $100,000 in grants for upgrades to school security at The Children's Adventure Center (CAC).
"This is a great day for more than the Children's Adventure Center. This grant is also a strong statement about Connecticut's and the Office of Early Childhood's commitment to our state's most valuable natural resource, our children," said State Rep Mitch Bolinsky (R-106).

Children's Adventure Center Board of Directors Chair Mae Schmidle said she applied for the grant a few months ago, and this is the second grant received by the center since it was first built.
Local Town Clerk, Staff Still Hoping For Privacy LegislationFriday, May 24, 2013
May 22 marked exactly one month from the day that any action occurred on proposed legislation inspired by Town Clerk Debbie Aurelia, her staff, and other members of the state Town Clerk's Association who want to see certain restrictions on state death records. And the local officials behind the proposal were not happy about it.

Second in a series about how the Mets will reassemble a team for 2009
Like the infielders, there would not appear to be much the Mets will have to do in the outfield. Carlos Beltran likely isn't going anywhere (and I will tell you right now – if he did, the diatribe I write here will be legendary). Ryan Church probably won't get dealt either; there was a rumor started by a terrible afternoon drive sports talk radio host that he did not like playing in New York that was quickly shot down by people who had actually, you know, spoken to Ryan Church at some point in their lives. Endy Chavez will likely be back as the 5th OF, although he is a free agent, but it is unlikely he would be offered more money or a starting job by another team. Fernando Tatis will also likely be back in some capacity, although he too would be free to sign with another ball club.
That leaves left field as open. It is unlikely that the Mets will go into 2009 with the Daniel Murphy/Nick Evans platoon in left field again. If Evans is kept around, he would be better off starting 2009 in Triple-A Buffalo, as he is an unfinished product. Daniel Murphy has probably earned some sort of spot on this team, but if he isn't playing every day or platooning, he should probably be playing every day in Buffalo as well. There has been talk of Murphy at first base, second base, and outfield, but it looks like Omar Minaya is shooting down the second base possibility, at least for now. That leaves first base and left field. First base will likely be occupied by Carlos Delgado for 2009, since it would only cost the Mets $8 million to pick up the option, but would cost another team $12 million to acquire him via trade, plus it would require Delgado waiving his no-trade option (which will probably cost a prospective buyer a contract for 2010), and plus, why create an opening when it isn't necessary? So figure on Murphy remaining an outfielder for 2009 if he should make the team.
But will he? It probably wouldn't be the worst idea to keep him in Buffalo as the first hand on deck in case Delgado, Church, or (fill in the blank) gets hurt. Of course, if you do that, you have to make sure you have a better outfielder than Daniel Murphy to start the year. The available free agents can pretty much be summed up thusly: Manny Ramirez, Adam Dunn, Pat Burrell, and not much else. You will probably read many begs and pleas for the Mets to sign Manny this offseason, and frankly, it might not be a bad move; he would add a strong power right-handed bat to the lineup, it would erase any holes the Mets would have in the order 3 through 6 to the point where they could bat Luis Castillos second, seventh, and eighth and still score a ton of runs, and it would lead to some fun shenanigans every few games. It's probably not a bad idea to look into, although I think in the end, it will be too pricey for the Mets to get done.
I really like Adam Dunn, but he's not going to sign here. His value is tied into home runs and walks, and I haven't ever really felt like the Mets are big believers in Three True Outcomes sluggers like Dunn. Plus, Dunn would make the Mets too left-handed unless they traded Delgado; a team with even a poor lefty specialist would be able to come in and get Delgado, Church, and Dunn out without having to face any switches or righties other than Beltran. I'd love if Dunn signed here, since I've always admired his ability to mash and draw walks, but that isn't happening.
Burrell is an interesting option. He has made his career for being a Mets killer, so the Mets signing him would be a great way to keep one Phillie from consistently destroying them. He's put together four really strong seasons in a row for the Phillies, and he has been a good enough hitter on the road to where you can't necessarily say it's all the ballpark (he was, in fact, a better hitter away from Citizens Bank Park in 2008). The minuses are his defense, which is terrible, on a team that seems to put a premium on outfield defense, important with all of the fly ball pitchers they covet. Of course, if they retained Endy Chavez, they could use Endy to play left in the later innings, much like the Phillies have done this past season with So Taguchi. I do think Burrell probably will not leave the Phillies, because unlike when Aaron Rowand left last year, the Phillies do not have a ready-made replacement for Burrell in left field, but if he did explore the free agent market, I could see the Mets getting really involved here.
There is even another option in play here; re-sign Moises Alou. Now, I know the mere thought of bringing Alou back would cause most Mets fans to recoil, but at a lower salary, in a platoon with Murphy, it might not be a bad idea. If Alou is open to signing a one-year, incentive-laden contract, it might be a good gamble. Worst case scenario, Alou gets hurt and the team platoons Murphy with Tatis instead (they could keep Tatis around as a super utility/pinch hitter and see if they can dump Marlon Anderson). If they could get Alou to sign for one year at, say, $4 million with at-bat incentives built in, it could be a decent option to fill left field. Then again, maybe it's time they moved on from Moises; he gave the team good hitting down the stretch in '07, but he may not be capable of doing that again.
So that's where we stand with the Mets' outfield. Beltran will be in center, Church will be in right. We could see a left field platoon of Daniel Murphy and Fernando Tatis or even Moises Alou, or we could see the Mets signing a big name acquisition. There is also the possibility of a trade, much like the one that brought Ryan Church to Queens last fall. It's not readily apparent what the team will do to fill the left field vacancy, but it will be a story worth following.

BYOD isn't a fading trend. It's here to stay. And Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) policies in today's business world are growing in acceptance faster than our mobile devices change. What does this mean for your enterprise IT network? Challenges, challenges, challenges to be sure. But perhaps it also means an opportunity to be in the forefront of IT security innovation--by implementing solutions that work.
Read More
Regardless of ownership, BYOD is still the usage of devices to perform work, and they are subject to the same infiltrations as your company's systems. Therefore, working with, instead of against, workplace and technology changes can go a long way in creating a workplace brimming with trust and flexibility. Implementing the mechanisms and policies to ensure security can also show that BYOD is accepted by your organization. If you need some direction to implement BYOD, contact a local IT company that has the knowledge and expertise in this domain to help you find the best combination of flexibility and security.
It's estimated that in today's workforce, some thirty six percent of businesses now fully support BYOD – Bring Your Own Device, at least for mobile devices. Depending on the surveys you read, that figure rises to eighty six percent if you widen the scope to include any kind of support at all, even if grudgingly given. Some people hail this policy as a great way forward in motivating staff productivity, while others take issue with the potential for security vulnerabilities and the burden of supporting a more diverse range of equipment.
Telling someone to BYOD is literally a four-letter word in many IT departments. Also known as "bring your own device," BYOD is a cloud-based concept which allows mobile devices to access a private or corporate network. Employees can access the network using their tablets, cell phones, laptops and other mobile devices.
Regardless of how you may feel about BYOD (bring your own device), employees have been doing it already for years and the trend is growing. The meteoritic rise of social media coupled with users who want access to corporate data while on the road has strengthened users' position. Businesses have begun to look at the benefits of it such as cost savings in machinery, but security risks still remain. Let's look at how you can make BYOD work for your company.
Increasing numbers of small and medium-sized businesses are adopting a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) approach to provision their employees, but this decision has large implications when it comes to the type of IT services that such companies will need. Although every business is at least slightly different, some common trends are already clear in terms of the challenges that a BYOD approach poses once employees become used to high mobility.
Now that BYOD (bring your own device) is such a dominant part of the workplace in many small and medium-sized businesses, many firms are beginning to look for additional ways in which these devices can be leveraged to increase productivity, and along with it, profits. IT consultants can be invaluable sources of information about how to accomplish these goals as part of an overall BYOD approach to processing daily workflow.
IT security specialists working with small and medium-sized businesses are well aware of the potential pitfalls of a BYOD approach to provisioning employees with mobile handsets and tablets. The need for such awareness was underlined this month by news that the Apple App Store's efforts to keep out malware did not managed to stop an app known as 'Find and Call' from being listed. The same app also made its way into the Google Play marketplace, with the result that Android as well as iOS devices became vulnerable to the Trojan.
Apple's next-generation operating system, iOS 6, was announced last month and is expected to become available to iPhone users sometime in the next few months. Although the updated interface will include some new features that could be useful in a work environment, an important consideration in today's BYOD business world, it will also present IT support personnel with new challenges to surmount.
According to Jesse Lipson, Vice President and Data Sharing General Manager for virtualization leader Citrix, the company's main plan for the smartphone and tablet market is to leverage its web interface, CloudGateway 2, to provide applications to mobile devices, including full support for native HTML 5, iOS and Android apps. Lipson acknowledges, however, that many companies are not yet ready for the MAM (mobile application management) paradigm. Instead, small and medium-sized businesses are just beginning to dip their toes into mobile workflow by adopting MDM (mobile device management) systems.

Live from Geekout
JRebel 5.0 now tackling redeploys remotely
As part of hosting their own two-day conference, Geekout 2012 in Tallinn, ZeroTurnaround were wise to save their big announcement live at the big event. Their innovative flagship redeploy-avoiding product JRebel has entered its fifth version, bringing with it three big features.
As announced by CEO Jevgeni Kabanov, JRebel 5.0 introduces JRebel Remoting, bringing the JRebel magic to remote and cloud servers. Initially, JRebel can be used out-of-the-box with AWS, Rackspace and Jelastic, with further PaaS vendor tie-ins to follow, according to the co-founder. Eclipse is supported in this release, with NetBeans and IntelliJ promised at a later date. This will bring JRebel to more and more teams - which is great to see. Check out the Getting Started Guide below.
Next up is the new Config Centre plugin for Eclipse, which eliminates the old rebel.xml and intelligently configures all the necessary IDE settings. Config Centre also monitors the environment and helps debug common problems. As of now, this is only available for Eclipse with the two previously mentioned to follow in due course.
Finally, there's a new platform, myJRebel, effectively allowing you to use JRebel as a SaaS. Kabanov adds that 'this release supports the Scala and OSS free plans, with Social coming in the next few weeks'.
All in all, it appears that JRebel is maneouvering itself to be ready for cloud-friendly environments, but the features offered in 5.0 look like being worthwhile for all. Check out the full Changelog to learn more about the other changes, including new Hibernate, MyFaces, CXF and Spring integrations. You can also download it here. Congrats to the ZeroTurnaround team on this big release at GeekOut - another conference full of big announcements it appears!

To not report severe child abuse that you are aware of makes you complicid in the harm that comes to the innocent.
Wonder how many lied and voted Yes, but in a real life situation, would say, "Don't want to get involved." <which seems to be the majority of people>
DITTO ,DITTO , DITTO gdog & Goi
But sadly 2short may be right
I would if its effecting my home, or family.
I voted no! But, it really depends on the situation! Anything to do with child abuse or other "serious" crimes, absolutely get reported! Neighbor smoking weed or doing some work to his place without a permit...no...live and let live...
Stan is back
Please one vote a day
I have always and I will continue to stand up and tell the police what I saw if I witnessed a crime.
To hell with that no snitching stupidity. You shoot some one and I see it. I'm testifying.
It's truly amazing to me that only 29% of the people would report criminal or suspicious activity! It shows the mentality of our neighbors!
It really does depend on the situation. Would I report my neighbor if I had reasonable suspicion that a bomb was being built in his basement? ABSOLUTELY
On the other hand If I was suspicious that he might be cheating on his taxes by claiming the birdfood he puts out is a charitable deduction - NO
Now we know where the problem is ---not wanting to "snitch" on someone. What if it was YOU that was being molested, robbed ,etc --wouldn't you want someone to give information to the police.
If you where Stan the voter

The Gospel of Health
A pastor's courage and inspiration to improve the health and well-being of his flock brings impressive results.
I drove my riding mower into the garage, glad to have the yard work behind me. I'd done it all in a half hour. Record time. Now to put the finishing touches on my sermon for tomorrow, a few lines encouraging my flock to lay off the fried chicken and gravy, the ham hocks, the lard-laden cornbread.
I'd made that my mission for the last 13 years, ever since I became a minister. I was known as the preacher who banned fried chicken. But it was slow going. In the South, especially here in the Mississippi Delta, fried and food just go together.

I went to the bedroom and pulled off my barely damp shirt. My wife, Lottie, was making the bed. She patted my stomach. "You're getting a little chunky," she said.
I looked down. My belly drooped over my belt. Way over. I tried sucking it in.
"I don't think so," Lottie said with a gentle laugh. Reluctantly I got on the bathroom scale. The needle shot to 245 pounds. Sure, I was 6'1". But that was fat. I was fat. The very thing I'd been preaching against all this time. It was embarrassing.
"I don't get it," I said. "We eat healthy. Fruits and vegetables, almost no red meat."
"Maybe that's not enough," she said. "Maybe you need to do something different, practice what you preach."
Through the years I'd tried all kinds of ways to preach my message. We started a health fair, created low-fat menus for church potlucks, even put a sign up in front of the church to encourage people to walk laps around it. It was right there in black and white: 7½ laps = 1 mile. What more could I do?
I slipped on a fresh T-shirt—trying to ignore how snug it was—went to my computer and pulled up my sermon urging people to change their unhealthy habits. I'd been so sure that's what God called me to do. Yet every Sunday I'd look out on my congregation and see people filling in the pews in more ways than one.
I remembered when I first became a pastor, 50 pounds lighter and full of passion. I'd moved back home to the Delta after spending 10 years in Boston. I'd graduated from Harvard with a degree in economics, worked in sales. But I felt lost, unfulfilled.

Then one day in my car I heard a voice: "Preach my word." I told Lottie and my minister. "I know a church in Hernando, Mississippi, that's in need of a pastor," he said.
In 1995, after I'd been in ministry for a year, I headed to Hernando and preached my first sermon at Oak Hill Baptist, a rural congregation whose 50 or so members met twice a month.
That first Sunday, shaking hands after the service, I couldn't help but notice that nearly everyone there was seriously overweight. This wasn't the Delta I remembered.
I'd been raised on a small farm in Mississippi by my grandparents. On Saturdays, I toiled beside Granddad from dawn till dark, hauling hay, loading and splitting firewood, feeding the cows and pigs. Sundays we went to church, my muscles aching from my chores.
Everyone had worked like that, hard physical labor. But not anymore. People were working office jobs, pushing papers instead of a plow.
The more I got to know my flock, the more their health worried me. Nearly every week there was a call to visit someone in the hospital. Was there a way for me to make a difference to more than their spiritual well-being, to minister to body and soul?
I couldn't just order people to stop eating fried chicken. I'd be gone the next day.

Pastor Minor,
Your story drives home several points. First, people do better when they know better. Secondly, people don't change until and unless they feel the need for it. Third, God has given each of us a mind and free will to be used for our benefit and for the benefit of others. Each and everyone should take responsibility for their own health, like you congregation did. Blaming others, be a TV chef or a fast food joint for your weight is like passing the buck around and not taking personal responsibility i.e. exercising free will and judgement.
God Bless you and your health congregation.
That is fantastic! That is great work! I'm so glad for you, and all the people that are healthier for it. We go to swim at indoor pools all year, since we live in PA. The YMCA is a great place, where they let middle school children work out as long as an adult supervises.
I just got done reading Rev. Michaael O Minor The Gospel of Health. Good story. My wife & I are in our early 60's. We joined a Gym. We are not over weight but want to stay that way. I just retired & want to stay in shape. My wife is still working but wants to stay in shape also. As we age we start to get a few health problems. My doctor said I could ward off some health problems if we exercise. We are bikers. If we don't work out in the winter we won't get back on the bikes in warmer weather. We live in the colder climes. So we have to find indoor stuff to do.
Fabulous story! The health problems that these people are avoiding through diet and exercise are so pernicious! The TV Celebrity Chef Paula Deen has been in the news recently for having diabetes - sadly - her recipes are the opposite of what Pastor Minor has been suggesting and she and her audience are paying the price. Congratulations to Pastor Minor and all of his very smart followers - bless him and his family and congregation - may they prosper and live happy, healthy, long lives!

Wells Fargo Bank robbed
UPDATE 3/4: Phillip Bosket pleaded guilty on Dec. 3, 2013 and was sentenced Tuesday to 21 years and 8 months in prison for bank robbery and brandishing a firearm in the commission of a crime. *****
PORTSMOUTH --A Chesapeake man is charged with robbing a bank that ended when he crashed during a high-speed chase through three cities.
47-year-old Phillip Bosket is accused of robbing the Wells Fargo Bank at 5820 High Street in Portsmouth around 1:30 p.m. Thursday. After getting money, they left in a gold van.
A responding officer saw tried to stop the vehicle in the area of High and Hartford streets and the chase was on. Police say Bosket drove through several Portsmouth neighborhoods and then got onto Interstate 264, where he sped through Chesapeake and finally ended up in the 100 block of Ballard Court in Va. Beach.
After trying to get away from police, Bosket was arrested and initially taken to the hospital for treatment of an arm injury.
He's charged with one count each of robbery, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, felony elude, violation of a protective order, and wearing a mask in public.
Police said Friday they are not releasing Bosket's photo because of the ongoing investigation.
