2014 NISSAN JUKE NISMO/NISMO RS: Nissan adds a third model to the 2014 Juke lineup: Juke, Juke NISMO and the new Juke NISMO RS – which will be on display during the 106th edition of the Chicago Auto Show (Feb. 8-17, 2014). Performance-orientated Juke NISMO and NISMO RS start with the 188 horsepower turbocharged four cylinder 1.6-liter from the base model. and bumps the horses up to 197 in the NISMO and a best-in-class 215hp in the NISMO RS front-wheel drive (FWD) or 211hp with all-wheel drive (AWD) system. A six-speed manual gearbox is equipped on FWD and CVT (continuous variable transmission) with AWD. Start the engine on the Juke NISMO RS, and appreciate how the exhaust has been tuned to create a highly visceral sound worthy of its racing-inspired roots. Visual NISMO modifications include a more aggressive front fascia and grille modified to better control airflow to the engine, and the regular fog lights have been replaced by thin-strip LED accent lights. The signature Nissan V-strut grille is finished in a darker shade than standard JUKE models, and combination lights are smoked as part of the NISMO appearance treatment. To increase the Juke NISMO and NISMO RS's visual stance, the wheel arches are more muscular and are body colored. In the rear, the bumper is deeper than on non-NISMO models and the unique body-colored liftgate spoiler and rear fascia diffuser complete the body modifications. Also part of the dramatic exterior appearance are the unique 18-inch lightweight aluminum-alloy diamond-cut wheels that feature a 10 twin-spoke design and are finished in dark anthracite. The 2014 Nissan Juke NISMO RS is available in three exterior colors – Sapphire Black, Brilliant Silver and Pearl White. Inside, Juke NISMO RS's biggest departure from the JukeE NISMO is the addition of genuine Recaro front seats trimmed in red leather-appointed side bolsters and black suede center inserts. As with all Jukes, the NISMO editions offers up to 58.1 cu. ft. of cargo room when rear seatback is folded down.

This is guide will show you how to assign the crossfader on the X-Session Pro to control the crossfader in Ableton Live.
1. The first step is to make sure the X-Session Pro is recognized by Live, and activated for Remote Control. Go to the Options Menu and select Preferences (PC), or go to the Live Menu and select Preferences (Mac). Click on the MIDI Sync Tab.
2. Set Track and Remote to "On" for USB X-Session In1 (users will see USB Audio Device In1 if using the Windows Class Compliant drivers) and then close the Preferences Window.
3. To view Live's crossfader, go to the View Menu and click Crossfader.
4. Go to the Options Menu and select Edit MIDI Map, then click on the middle section of Live's crossfader at the bottom of the Master Track. The crossfader is selected when the brackets appear on the corners of the box as seen below.
5. X-Session Pro's crossfader sends "normal" (CC#17, 0-127) and "inverted" (CC#20, 127-0) MIDI data at the same time. This feature is useful since it allows users to control two independent parameters, as well as giving you the ability to have the cross fader operate in normal or inverted mode (aka "hamster style").
For normal operation, carefully nudge the crossfader until you see 1/17 appear over Live's crossfader.
This box indicates that Live has assigned MIDI CC 17 (MIDI CC17 is for normal operation) on MIDI Channel 1. If you see 1/20, the crossfader will be inverted. This assignment is also confirmed in the MIDI Mappings section.
6. To exit MIDI Mapping mode, go to the Options Menu and click Edit MIDI Map. The X-Session Pro's crossfader is now assigned to control Ableton Live's crossfader.

passive-matrix displayA common type of flat-panel display consisting of a grid of horizontal and vertical wires. At the intersection of each grid is an LCD element which constitutes a single pixel, either letting light through or blocking it. A higher quality and more expensive type of display, called an active-matrix display, uses a transistor to control each pixel.
In the mid-90s, it appeared that passive-matrix displays would eventually become extinct due to the higher quality of active-matrix displays. However, the high cost of producing active-matrix displays, and new technologies such as DSTN, CSTN and HPA that improve passive-matrix displays, have cause passive-matrix displays to make a surprising comeback.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are back on the road tonight as they search for their 10th straight win vs. the Brooklyn Nets.
The Thunder and Nets met once already this season on Jan. 2. The Thunder blew a big fourth quarter lead and were outscored 29-16 in the final period as the Nets went on to win 95-93 on a Joe Johnson buzzer-beater.
Kevin Durant scored 24 points on 8-of-13 shooting in what was the first game of his month of January in which he has averaged overall 36.6 points per game on 53.9 percent shooting.
This was only the fourth game for the Thunder since Westbrook's surgery and OKC has been looking much better of late.
Brooklyn is in the bottom half of the league when it comes to nearly every single team statistical category. On paper and especially given the way that the Thunder have been playing lately, the Thunder should be able to come away with the win.
Over their last 10 games however, the Nets are 8-2 making them one of the hottest teams in the league.
According to Synergy Sports, the one area where Brooklyn may have an advantage on offense is in the post, although that number is largely due to what Brook Lopez did when he was in the lineup. The Nets have the worst defense in terms of points per possession against spot-up plays and they are 20th and 22nd against isolation plays and pick-and-roll plays, respectively.
There is of course the theory of a letdown game for OKC, who is coming off a 112-95 win over the Miami Heat in their last game.
The key for the Thunder tonight will be simply put, execution and playing a full game. The Nets are solid and any kind of major lapse could give them a window to beat the Thunder.
Being that the loss to the Nets is so fresh in the minds of the Thunder, I think they are up for tonight and ensure that they do enough to avoid another loss to this team.
The game will tip off at 7 p.m. CST and air nationally on ESPN.

text: Images from the Trayvon Martin rally that was held yesterday at the West Lake Center in Seattle, WA. A group of anarchists showed up and tried to turn it from a peacefully protest to a full on riot. Thanks to level heads who understood why they were really there they shut down the potential riot immediately.

One day after a near school tragedy in DeKalb County, McNair Discovery Learning Academy Principal Dr. Brian Bolden praised the school community for coming together during a difficult time.
"We had parents that were helping in the cafeteria, we had parents that were helping in the classrooms, we had parents that were helping the principal," Bolden said.
One concern for parents, school leaders never notified them via social media or text message as Tuesday's frightening events unfolded.
"We are going to look at every aspect of what occurred and any way that we can improve the process we're going to do it," Interim Superintendent Michael Thurmond said.
Thurmond said they didn't notify parents immediately after the gunman entered the school because they were still gathering information.
"You always have to understand who you're serving and the population of which you serve. Some populations have greater access to the social media than others," Thurmond said.
School officials said they decided to inform parents through the news media instead and in their opinion it worked because every child was returned to their parents safely. Students will return to McNair Discovery Learning Academy Thursday.
"We are welcoming you back to our building and it is going to be business as usual as we soar to become the great leaders that we were born to be," Bolden said.

Cooking For Two by Jessica Strand
Book Review 2009
Do you cook for just two (or one) most nights? Do you struggle with recipes that are sized for a crowd, or at least for Mom, Dad, 2.3 kids and a dog? Well, Jessica Strand wants to help you in her attractive, friendly, and very well-done cookbook for two.
Title & Publisher: Cooking For Two: Perfect Meals for Pairs, by Jessica Strand. Published by Chronicle Books, 2009.
First impressions: Small square hardback book with a mouthwatering photo on the front. Dustjacket. You have to crack the spine, though, or lay something heavy on the pages to keep the book open.
Number of recipes: About 50.
The angle: Strand organizes her books around the type of meal you're serving: simple suppers, one-pot dishes, romantic meals, and duo desserts. Each section has a well-edited selection of recipes that caters to the couple (or solo diner). She hits the normal individual-portion meals hard: individual pork chops, potpies, burgers, scallops and fish. These are all easy to make in individual sizes and portions. But she also offers scaled-down recipes for other dishes: vegetable curry, for instance. She also does a good job of creating desserts that are easy, special, and yet portioned for two. (Individual fruit crisps, for instance. Perfect.)
The other stuff: Tips for cooking together (i.e. "Give each other enough space to do your jobs."). Wine pairing tips and suggested drinks for each section.
Strengths: This book is not ultimate resource for dining alone or as a couple. But really, who needs hundreds of recipes scaled for two? This isn't necessary. If you're cooking for two, you just need some inspiration to get you going, and some basic recipes. Strand does this and she does it well. She demonstrates how to cook for two with basic recipes that have some flair, and once you master a few of these you probably won't need a cookbook at all to show you how to cook for a small amount of people.
Recipes for right now: Grilled Garlic Shrimp with Mache, Avocado, Fennel, and Red Onion Salad, Antipasti Dinner, Gratin of Eggplant Layered with Plum Tomatoes, Fresh Mozzarella, and Lemon-Basil Pesto, Meyer Lemon Pot-au-Creme.
Recommended? Yes, if you are cooking for one or two.

I'd also highly recommend "The Urban Peasant: Cooking for Two", by James Barber. Easy-to-make recipes with uncomplicated ingredient lists and amusing texts about the love and affection expressed when you cook as two. A great starter cookbook.
i don't understand why this is such a big deal. i cook often and creatively for two, usually off recipes intended for 4 - 6. i DO live in a small city apartment and don't have TONS of room for food storage, but cooking for 4 - 6 means i can freeze half, or eat leftovers for a few days, or make another dish for 4 - 6, freeze half of that, alternate the leftovers, etc. to me, a busy, working person who often gets home at 8 or 9... that's perfectly ok. cook once, eat thrice. i would NOT be happy to put a lot of effort into a dish for 2 and get NO leftovers - unless its something that would be ruined leftover.
A second vote for James Barber's Cooking for Two!
I agree with vhsdr, I almost always make enough for leftovers/lunches.
However, with how much my boyfriend eats (and he's slim too, aaarghhh), I often make a 4-6 serving meal, and there's only a small bit left at the end and he takes it in his lunch. I often cook up 8-12 servings of something so there is enough to last us a few days (or throw some in the freezer if it will freeze well)
I'm in the same boat, jennybeen. no matter how much I cook, he asks if there's more. no matter how certain I was that I wouldn't have to cook the next night, I almost always end up with no leftovers.
but cooking for two really isn't that bad. it's really, very simple math to reduce a recipe (though really, most 'recipes' I use aren't that precise, anyway). and my culinary creativity is much more challenged that when I lived alone. I've created more recipes in a couple months than I did in a year alone.
Same here -- I make large batches so we can eat it again the next night, my skinny husband can have seconds, and I can bring some to work as well.
Especially with a recession going on. It's better for me the stretch the soup or curry a little bit more by adding in a few more ingredients and have lunch for the week!

She married Ervin K. Thom on March 17, 1945 at Eastside Lutheran Church of Madison. They shared 55 loving years together before his death on May 3, 2000. During their years together they were blessed with a daughter Karen and four sons, Russell, Eugene, Gerald, and Charles.

Ardene's family would like to especially thank the caregivers of Juliette Manor; who enriched her life with their wonderful care, support, and love.

I've been anticipating PBS's 13-episode Kimchi Chronicles series centered around Korean cuisine, but unfortunately the exact air date for metro Atlanta seems to be a bigger mystery than Jimmy Hoffa's whereabouts (or his body at least).
Anyway, the show has already debuted in heavily Korean-populated areas of the country such as metro New York/New Jersey, California and the District of Columbia. I imagine metro Atlanta is high in the pecking order due to its respectable Korean representation, but until then I'll just continue drooling over the show's teaser videos like the one posted above.
In other news:
Kim Severson, author of Spoon Fed: How Eight Cooks Saved My Life and the Atlanta bureau chief of The New York Times, has written an interesting article about the ongoing debate about food trucks and their value or detriment to communities.

Maine AG says shooting by police justified
By David Hench, Staff Writer
The officers had been looking for Terrel Dubois, 22, of Brooklyn, N.Y., who was wanted for failing to appear in court on a domestic violence kidnapping charge and who had threatened to kill police if they caught up with him. Plainclothes officers found and confronted him at an apartment on Elm Street in South Portland on the night of Oct. 11.
The investigative report says South Portland officer Steven Connors was shot by Dubois at close range and, as he collapsed to the floor, he pulled his gun and fired eight times. At the same time, Portland Sgt. Robert Doherty, who was behind Connors in the tight quarters of the small apartment, pulled his gun and fired once, the report said.

Dear our 4D Leader,
Happy 26/27th birthday! I'm glad I got to know a person like you. Many people fall for your beautiful face, but I've found out that you have an even much more beautiful heart inside. A heart that is burning with passion to humbly keep improving yourself even though now you're already at the top. A generous heart that doesn't think twice to take parts in charity and help the unfortunate. A thoughtful and caring heart that makes you always treat your fans kindly and respectfully. A heart that is strong enough to take the blames and criticisms people ignorantly throw at you, and how, after all that, you still manage to smile. A heart that keeps the promise between you and the other 4 members true, even after these 2 years in separated agencies. Thank you, for being an inspiring and trustworthy leader every Triple S is proud of. We love you and will always support you. May you have the happiest birthday today! ♥ ^^

We have been swamped at this end, with working on the comic, my writing and other duties and responsibilities. I will get M to sit down and write his promised review this week. How is your website revamp coming along?

Thank you for the comment on my review of Housekeeping. I know what you mean about doing it justice. I almost didn't click "Save Review" because I felt the review was still too weak for such a novel. We are reading it this month at www.readliterature.com. You are more than welcome to join the discussion there.

How are the website changes coming along? My partner-in-comic-crime finished your book, and if you would like, he would be happy to whip up a review for you. His background is art history and his library is extensive, and encompasses five languages. He actually reads more than I do, at this point. Let me know, and I will have him type up a review for you.

By chance, although I do not believe in accidents, I visited my author page today, and discovered your review of my book. I am very pleased that you enjoyed my writing, and my friend who created the graphics for each story agrees with you, regarding 'The Aroma of Coffee.' He, too, had wished for a longer story, with more detail about the boys. I have been considering expanding on it by creating a separate novel around their story, after I finish the three works in progress. I rather liked the lads, myself, and would not mind revisiting their experience.
Of the next three books, one is for young gays who want to read gay romance novels, with little sexual detail - think Barbara Cartland (Not For The Moon), another is about a young boy as he grows up away from family and the terror that led him to a life that many would not imagine for a boy growing up in his teen years, and is very graphic, sexually (An Atheist in a Foxhole), and the third is a book about the question: what if there was a 'brother' to Jesus Christ that came today, to impart the 'word of God?' What would happen as a result of his visit, and is he truly a son of God, or is this label attached to him because of circumstances beyond his control? (The Other Lamb). Although the boy is very attractive, it is not a story about gay life, nor does it include sexual scenes. To get an idea of how he is to be portrayed, you can check out the cover and excerpts on my site: www.kristophe.com.
Again, I thank you for taking the time to share your experience of my writing, and I especially appreciate the candor with which you expressed yourself. Merci!

Yes Gay's The Word is Marchmont St near Russell Sq - and still going strong. Silver Moon, the lesbian bookshop, went bust years ago, but it was in a highrent area on Charing X Rd.
Hoarding is good :) ..I so regret losing some of the things that went in housemoves.

about 40 Ways to Sunday.. I think I read it first in Cambridge in the 90s, off my then flatmate's shelves. God knows where he got it or got wind of it. We both worked in a bookshop but small niche publishers from the States weren't washing around the shops locally. I daresay a daytrip to Gays the Word in London was the source; I used to pick up lesbian titles on special trips to London, from Silver Moon (which has since gone bust) And I got own copy 2nd hand but can't recall if it was online or in realtime.
Have you lost track of your copy? Am trying to clear my shelves recently (all those sent to oxfam tags on my list) so if it's one you itch to replace on your shelves I could post it to you. There are a couple of things I used to have years ago that I wish to god I still had in my keeping, so, y'know, it would feel nicely karmic to be able to help if your copy is only a memory.

Because of another untimely surgery, and a desire to get back in trim again, I am forsaking meat and dairy (well, that new report on white cheeses may have me keeping that morsel in my diet) and making the base of my diet more veg and fruit, and since your library seems to have some depth in this area, I am seeking some suggestions for cookbooks. I am looking for simple, easy to prepare meals that don't taste like the upper level of the hayloft. English text would be best, and something I can get from Amazon.uk or Amazon.com would be great, since I don't think I will find many Eng cookbooks in France or Germany. Any suggestions would be helpful. Merci.
Best wishes for a great new year,

Hi Blake! I got a copy of "Tim and Pete" yesterday and read it until 4a. Your review of it made me get it in the first place, so it's no surprise that I liked it and further no surprise that I agree with you about the secondary characters lacking a spark of vitality that, from an author who can invest his leads with such stark reality, I would have taken as a given.
Thanks for turning me on to it.
posted by richardderus at 6:11 pm (EST) on Jan 28, 2009
Hello Blake,
I agree about Mike Kaspar's novel needing a good, wide audience. I hope you'll be word-of-mouthing it...and don't forget to ask your public library to get a copy. They are pretty responsive to such, at least out here in the sticks of Long Island.
I see we share one of my favorite oddball books: Light Metres by Felicia Lamport. "The quahog cried "Damme!"
Because of the whammy
Imposed on that chamois-soft clam..."
I've found something new to chortle over in that book since the darn thing came out!

I'll take a look at "A Push and a Shove" I prefer happy endings, but they aren't required. It just depends on my expectations going in. If it's a romance, I expect it. Otherwise, I just want it to be an appropriate ending. Hopefully the creative buzz will sting you again. If not, KoC is not a bad way to close a writing streak! Have a nice weekend!

posted by jshillingford at 2:52 pm (EST) on May 27, 2008
Hi back. :) To be honest though, I wasn't that impressed by Wicked Gentlmen. I mean ... I liked it. I liked it quite a bit. It was pretty and readable and touching, and I'd give it a 4.5/5, but it felt kind of ... distant, detached. So it never really drew me in. The books that I truly love, like Brethren and Matelots and The God Eaters and Almost Like Being In Love and Temeraire and The Dresden Files and Covenants, I want to go on and on and on without ever ending, and when they do end I feel all lost and sad and like I still need more more more and I don't want it to be over dammit! Wicked Gentlemen left me feeling content and satisfied. Which is a good thing, obviously; just not the best? ^_^; It's funny, but I think my mom actually liked it more than I did. :S
posted by theotherdigit at 9:18 pm (EST) on Oct 17, 2007
I have to agree after looking at the reviews on Amazon that many missed the reason for the book's structure. The last novella would not have been so intense if not for coming last. And, what we learn about people sometimes forces us to reevaluate our opinion of them, as I think happens here. It was well done, and thanks again!
posted by jshillingford at 7:52 am (EST) on Oct 4, 2007
Hey Blake. Good to hear from you.
You commented that we share some of the more obscure gay stuff.
Yeh, right; I was really surprised when I started cataloging to find that I have more gay stuff than English lit. Didn't expect that, don't know what conclusion to draw ... maybe level of interest/enthusiasm ?
Of the other obscure gay stuff on my shelves you might like to check out and keep an eye open for:
"Pulp friction"
"Min ven Thomas"
(Danish young men discovering themselves - learn Danish or find a translation)
Kingdome 19 stuff (pretty heavy, but I like it)
"Min bror och hans bror"
(Swedish young men discovering themselves - learn Swedish or find a translation)
"The art of George Quaintance" (if you're interested in slightly fetish-oriented graphics; not nearly as explicit as Tom of Finland)
Locker room nudes

I think Brethren and Matelots by WA Hoffman are my favorite M/M relationships. Mainly because it is just such a powerful story beyond the two men. I also enjoyed Details of the Hunt by Laura Baumbach very much. Very explicit with a wonderful science fiction/futuristic tale. And I've recently had a new book recommended to me that sounds great, Wicked Gentlemen, which I immediately ordered.

Thanks! Yes we are an LGBT library - I'm the summer intern and I'm cataloging the Kalamazoo Gay Lesbian Resource Center's entire lending library. It's kind of a daunting task, and it really hasn't left me a lot of free time to explore other people's libraries, but one of the cool things about LibraryThing.com is that you can at least see how many other people share the same book when you enter it. Well it's back to work for me, I hope to get a chance to check out your library sometime! -Jeneil

As it was given to me for free because, I think, I paid too much money for the Lovecraft, it sat around unread for about a year and a half. It does come off as a tad overreaching, the work of someone trying a little too hard for an effect he doesn't get. Reminds me of a book I read years ago called "Gothique" by a guy named Kyle Marffin. He just seemed to be writing for a certain crowd, and put everything in there he could to appeal to them. Although, in general, most of the Goths I grew up around were actually pretty discerning about what they read.
I noticed that you have one Patrick McGrath in your library-Asylum. I love him; highly recommend anything else by him, especially Spider. (Just don't see the movie first if you haven't already)
You mentioned Jonathan Carroll; I just read Bones of the Moon; Land of Laughs is next. I get good feedback on Marriage of Sticks as well. Let me know if there's one in particular you find the best of the lot.
One other quick thing--I went to your MySpace page, but it's very faded...Is this supposed to be?
Off to work,

Hi Blake
First off, your library is very impressive.
I checked you out because you have "A Very Fast Descent Into Hell" by Simon Drax. You're the only other person I've ever encountered who has ever even heard of it, much less owns it. How did you come across it? Mine was given to me years ago at a Sci-Fi/Fantasy book expo in NYC when I bought an Arkham Press Lovecraft collection. It's just the last book I would have thought would have a "One and Only" statistic attached to it...
posted by annwyn at 9:42 am (EST) on May 19, 2007
I too read the book many years ago (sometime in college-- I'd guess 1994) so while I remember enjoying the book, and binging on all of the Rebecca Brown I could find at the time-- I really can't remember any specifics at all.
You know, I'm not sure if I've read any of Rebecca Brown's work since around that time. I really should go back to her. Any recommendations of more recent books of hers (from the past decade)?
posted by mollymolo at 6:07 pm (EST) on Mar 29, 2007
Hello - yes, I have read The Children's Crusade, but unfortunately such a long time ago (1990 - which was when I bought it) that I can't remember anything about it. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Thanks for commenting about Carroll and Richard Bowes. I do indeed know of Minions of the Moon...I have a copy but haven't yet even finished my mass market paperback entries, nevermind trade paper and hardcover. If you haven't read it, he also has an unusual novel out from Golden Gryphon entitled From the Files of the Time Rangers....good stuff. On the non-GLBT side, you may also enjoy Sean Stewart if you like Carroll, and perhaps Lisa Goldstein as well.

I first read Glove Puppet when it was published. I read it again about a year ago. This has to be one of my favorite books. I would highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys GLBT fiction. Glove Puppet is not fluff.

Hi. I've started Glove Puppet once, but didn't get too far. I don't know if that's a reflection on Drinnan or on my sometimes too-short attention span. I love Mel Keegan's stuff: the best are Death's Head and Equinox, with Fortunes of War right up there. Good trashy stuff, very entertaining.

New Features in Java EE 6
Java EE 6 Overview
Java EE 6 has all the makings of one of the best releases of the enterprise Java standard since its inception in the late nineties. Java EE 5 was without a doubt a revolutionary release. Java EE 6 straddles the line between being revolutionary and evolutionary. In the least, it solidifies the changes that began with Java EE 5. This brief article overviews the changes in Java EE 6, covers some of the API changes at a high level, mentions implementations currently available or underway and takes a forward look at the changes in Java EE 7 that are just being formulated.
Java EE 5 was a remarkable transformation for a mature, widely deployed, well supported development platform. EJB 3.0 was introduced as the reengineered business component development model, the aging EJB 2.x Entity Bean model was replaced by JPA as the persistence paradigm, JSF was introduced as the standard presentation tier framework and JAXWS 2.0 replaced JAX-RPC as the SOAP web services API. The focus of Java EE 5 was squarely on reducing complexity by embracing the concepts of annotations, POJO programming, zero-configuration systems, intelligent defaults and freedom from XML hell. Despite the reservations around Java EE in some camps, perhaps the best testament to the fact that Java EE 5 succeeded is the many folks who considered adopting Java EE for the first time because of these changes. A large number of these folks also comment on how surprisingly streamlined and well-put-together the Java EE programming model felt.
A Bird's Eye View
Java EE 6 is another important step in the journey towards the ideal of a simple, streamlined and well-integrated platform. Java EE 6 also includes a rich set of innovations best reflected in the technologies that comprise the platform including brand new APIs like CDI 1.0 and JAX-RS 1.1 or even relatively mature APIs like Servlet 3.0.
Besides a few relatively minor changes such as standardizing global JNDI naming (which I won't cover here), the major themes for Java EE 6 from a platform standpoint are pruning and profiles. In some ways, these themes are an essential byproduct of the deep seated changes in the platform. Let's take a quick look at these changes.
Pruning the Dead Wood
The first release of Java EE was in 1999. By standards of the hypercompetitive technology industry, that's nothing short of a lifetime. During this span, Java EE has only grown. As a result, the platform is now weighed down with some dead wood in the shape of APIs that are outdated, have been susuperseded, not well supported or not widely deployed. Java EE 6 begins the essential process of carefully pruning these APIs to make the platform more lightweight and to make room for healthier growth. Table 1 shows the APIs that are on the chopping block, along with an explanation of why. "Pruning" an API essentially means that an application server vendor need not support these technologies, although some larger vendors will probably continue supporting the pruned APIs for a period of time.
Profiles: Different Strokes for Different Folks
One of the major criticisms of Java EE has been that it is simply too large. Indeed, a majority of small to medium range Java web applications do not utilize the full Java EE stack. One can imagine the same to be true of SOA applications that would use features like messaging, transactions, persistence and web services but have no need for presentation tier technologies like JSP or JSF.
Profiles are designed to address this issue. Profiles are essentially sub-sets of Java EE APIs geared towards a particular class of applications in mind. For example, the Java EE 6 Web Profile only includes APIs that are likely to be used in most Java web applications. As such, the idea of Profiles has been used successfully in the standards world for a relatively long time. As you might already know, Java ME supports the idea of Profiles geared towards particular device runtime environments. Likewise, Profiles are used to better organize the increasingly complex world of web services standards such as the WS-I Basic Profile, the WS-I Basic Security Profile and the like. Although Java EE 6 defines the rules for creating new Profiles through separate JSRs, only one Profile, the Web Profile is included in the platform this time. Table 2 lists the APIs that are included in the Web Profile as opposed to the full platform:
Note that EJB Lite, and not the full version of the EJB specification is included in the Web Profile. I'll describe EJB Lite in greater detail shortly.

Warwick- The Swift Creek River basin that flows into Lake Blackshear is polluted.
Water samples show high levels of fecal coliform, pollution that comes from animal and human waste.
Representatives of the Middle Flint Regional Development Center told concerned residents Thursday night the levels are not high enough to be dangerous.
"The information that was collected doesn't indicate that there is definitely a problem," said Gerald Mixon, planning director for the center. "It suggests it's of marginal significance, in other words the data suggest the high count is just over the applicable threshold."
The affected area is a seven mile stretch from Worth County to Turner County. The center is trying to develop a plan to reduce the bacteria counts.

A person with oppositional conversational style is a person who, in conversation, disagrees with and corrects whatever you say. He or she may do this in a friendly way, or a belligerent way, but this person frames remarks in opposition to whatever you venture.
I noticed this for the first time in a conversation with a guy a few months ago. We were talking about social media, and before long, I realized that whatever I'd say, he'd disagree with me. If I said, "X is important," he'd say, "No, actually, Y is important." For two hours. And I could tell that if I'd said, "Y is important," he would've argued for X.
I saw this style again, in a chat with friend's wife who, no matter what casual remark I made, would disagree. "That sounds fun," I observed. "No, not at all," she answered. "That must have been really difficult," I said. "No, for someone like me, it's no problem," she answered. Etc."
I have experienced this many times and can safely say, I HATE THESE PEOPLE. I think it is most definitely to "assert dominance", as mentioned here later.

Today, her affiliation with NCADV is one that is very important to her. "I am proud of my affiliation with NCADV and I am happy to be able to lend my voice to their mission. I often perform songs about domestic violence and for me it is a stress reliever. I want ladies and girls to know they are not the only ones going through what they are going through. You're human just like others in the situation. It's a horrible feeling when you're stuck in that. And even when you get away you live in fear not knowing when something might happen. Me being active in domestic violence groups is part of it. I think that's why people go through things, so you can help someone else. God helps you help others get out of the situation."

Congresswoman Ann Kirkpatrick is asking federal officials to help an Arizona American Indian tribe with plans to build a "bypass" road to the Grand Canyon Skywalk amid an ongoing dispute with a rancher.
The Arizona Democrat wrote the U.S. Bureau of Land Management on Friday and asked the agency to expedite a permit application for the planned bypass to Hualapai lands. The tribe owns the Skywalk.
The letter comes as rancher Nigel Turner, who owns a tourist ranch along Diamond Bar Road, and authorities remain at odds over paving the road to the Grand Canyon Skywalk. Turner wants to review plans and have them include fencing, cattle guards, and entrances to his property.
The tribe wants to create a temporary dirt roadway that bypasses a checkpoint on Turner's private road.

The Zoo and Science Museum are a long way off and tricky to get to if you don't have a car.
Doing what: Toronto CityPass
seems ok. for a two day trip, science muesum can be avoided.
Doing what: Toronto CityPass
Carl R
The CityPass helped us see much of the Toronto sights. We liked the zoo and the Science Center. The ROM Royal Ontario Museum was fantastic. A new exhibit of the Dead Sea Scrolls had just opened, so we got to see that. We spent so much time in the scrolls exhibit that we did not have much time to see the rest of museum. We will have to return to see the rest of the museum another time. The CN Tower was a great view. The weather throughout our visit was rainy, so we could not see long distances from the top. Also the line to ride to Skypod was too long, so we did not get up as high as we wanted. The glass floor in the observation deck was very neat!
Doing what: Toronto CityPass
CN Tower is great and the CityPass gets you all the way to the top. You will be at the highest observation platform in the world! The Casa Loma is also great with lots of good Canadian history. The museums could be larger but they are nice to visit. The Science center is really only for children and the zoo is only open with permitting weather. The CityPass is definitely worth the cost and no need to carry around Canadian currency.
Doing what: Toronto CityPass
Quite a good value for money but make sure you've at least 1 week free in Toronto to visit all these places. Each site takes you at least half a day to visit. Beautiful places and lots of history, culture, science, city view, etc to look at. The down side is the pass is only valid for 9 days from the first day of the first coupon used. If you're on a short business trip, you don't have many weekends to complete the tours.

Bikinis aren't outlawed, but use 'common sense'
Signs have been posted on public beaches in Ras Al Khaimah advising beachgoers to dress modestly.
April 28, 2013 2:43 by Muhammad Aldalou
Beachgoers, stash away those two-piece swimsuits, briefs and Speedos as they're no longer welcome on certain public beaches in the United Arab Emirates.
More specifically, the northern emirate of Ras Al Khaimah – in response to complaints filed by local families – has posted warning signs advising the public against wearing revealing swimwear.
The violators will not be arrested or face any particular charges, but will be asked to leave the beach and possibly receive a hefty fine as well – after a second warning.
According to a supporting report by The National, the signs – posted by the police and municipality – read: "All coast goers should commit to public morality and modest clothing", followed by an illustration of a man in tight swimming trunks, a woman in bikini and a cross over both images.
Captain Khaled Al Naqbi, of RAK Police, advised the public to "use common sense" and "just be modest".
Obviously, this subject doesn't simply reflect a mere warning sign on a public beach in RAK; it is a sneak peak of what's yet to come. The issue of dressing modestly in the UAE has long captivated the public – particularly on public and social forums. Currently, you're allowed to wear a bikini on beaches in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, but don't be surprised if there comes at a time when it is forbidden.
Throughout all shopping malls and certain public areas, in both emirates, there are countless signs urging visitors to dress humbly and respectively. Groups on Twitter and Facebook (such as @UAEDressCode) were set up to both educate the public and raise awareness among residents and tourists that a little sensitivity with how much skin you reveal is in order. We all remember that ridiculous woman who, after an argument with an Arab woman criticising her indecency, stripped down to her bikini in the mall in 2010.
In fact, news of this 'unofficial ban' has once again ignited a flame of interest in the matter, rehashing an equally relevant news article from earlier this year. Visitors to Dubai Zoo were asked to wear respectable clothing – meaning that knees and shoulders should be covered – and that scarves, if necessary, can be provided at the door. In January 2013, signs were also posted across the zoo.
At the time, Ahmad Abdul Karim, Director of Public Parks and Horticulture Department, Dubai Municipality, emphasised that this move isn't a newly implemented rule, but simply shines the spotlight on existing laws in parks as well.
According to various reports, such community bans have been greeted with enthusiasm and support – but the issue may still lie with the lack of awareness about the matter. A few days after the signs in the emirate's public beaches were posted, the head of public relations and moral guidance for RAK Police clarified that revealing swimwear is not 'officially outlawed' but strongly discouraged because of cultural sensitivities.
"We respect the rights for people. We follow UAE law," said Maj Marwan Al Mansoori. "Our campaign is not about catching people. We just want to tell people about our culture and our community."

NOVEMBER 11, IS VETERANS DAY. Yes, a day to honor our veterans of all wars, who fought for us through the years since 1776, because we did not like the English rule. Since then we have had many wars, and they are still happening, luckily not in America. But our service men and women are sent to fight overseas, all for the cause to keep Americans save. We truly owe each and every one of them our deep gratitude. "The Land of the Brave, and the Home of the Free" God bless and keep you all!
Our thanks to the Lyons High School and other bands of the St. Vrain District who participated in the Veterans Day Parade in Longmont on Monday.

At least a thousand students, friends, colleagues, cohorts, acquaintances, and family attended a Celebration of Life ceremony for Gerald Boland, who was caught in the raging floodwaters in the early morning hours of September 12, and died.
He and wife Cheron heard the Lyons Fire Protection District's volunteer firemen's bull horn as they went up the North St. Vrain Road warning residents to

Another week gone by, and things are getting better in Lyons. More utilities were turned on this weekend with more people in their homes, more businesses opening up in town, just a night patrolman, but still curfew10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Debris is being picked up, more roads and streets opened; some areas do not have utilities yet, but will within a week or two. The report was good for most, but not pleasing to the areas that cannot have gas unless they have water. PATIENCE is the word!

HOME! HOME! SWEET, SWEET HOME! It's what residents of 700 Lyons homes are singing this week. After being away for six weeks, it takes some getting used to. Although, the gas man never came to my home, it is getting close (this Thursday). Again, thanks to all friends, family, hotels, apartments for

"This would be a great event to be part of one day," Andretti said to Lopes.

Lopes, recalling the moment with Andretti this week, pointed to it as a key reason why Andretti has been successful on many different ventures throughout his life.
"He said that [while] having no idea that we would be putting on this event this year," Lopes said. "Michael was able to look at that crowd, see the genuine interest in the event, recognize the great location and see the big picture. He has a great eye for that. It was a snapshot of his vision."
Known for his determination, relentless attention to detail, patience and ability to put the right people in the right places, Andretti has gone from being known as the son of the legendary Mario Andretti to being a winner in his own right.
His 42 career victories make him the third winningest driver in Indy car history.
As a car owner, his teams have won three IndyCar Series championships and, now, in a season in which many teams are struggling with totally new cars and engines, his driver, Ryan Hunter-Reay, just won his third consecutive race last weekend to move into the series points lead.
Perhaps that doesn't recommend Andretti as a promoter, but he was also part of Andretti Green Racing, which established successful races in Toronto and St. Petersburg. And last month, his organization revived a storied, 109-year old track, the Milwaukee Mile, which had been mired in financial trouble for several years. The results were strong enough for Andretti to confirm the race will return next year.
Andretti's efforts in Milwaukee were attributed to love. He had a racing history at the track as a driver and was emotionally attached to the place.
Was it love that brought him here, too?
"A different kind of love," Andretti said by phone. "Obviously I don't have the same attachment to Baltimore as I do to the Milwaukee Mile — but it will be my son Marco's home track and I'm sure he'll be hitting me up for lots of free passes for his friends. But I've never driven in Baltimore. It was just such a successful event last year — from the view of fans, IndyCar, sponsors and competitors — and it looked like it might go away. I felt the need to not let that happen – to not let it go away.
"I love my sport and want what's best for it."
And the Grand Prix of Baltimore is already an important event on the IndyCar calendar.
"When J.P. called and asked if we'd look at Baltimore," Andretti said, "I saw it as a great opportunity. But, it is a very risky business. You have to have some gambling blood. I don't like to gamble too much, but I have a strong belief in the people in our organization."
Two of those people are Tim Mayer and Lopes.
Mayer, formerly the chief operating officer of the International Motorsports Association and the American LeMans Series, is the son of the late Ted Mayer, who helped create and then ran the McLaren Formula One team that produced championships with Emerson Fittipaldi and James Hunt in the 1970s.
The younger Mayer was hired in May to be the Grand Prix of Baltimore's general manager. He has decades of experience organizing races around the world, including one — the Rio 400 Champ Car race — in less than three weeks.
Lopes, meanwhile, leads the sales and marketing team for all of Andretti's endeavours. He has been in motor sports for 20 years and was the executive vice president of operations for Champ Car before joining Andretti in 2004.

Ontario closer than ever to legalization of marijuanaOntario is one step closer to the legalization of marijuana after the Ontario Superior Court struck down two key parts of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act that prohibit the possession and production of pot.The court declared the rules that govern medical marijuana access and the prohibitions laid out in sections 4 and 7 of the Act "constitutionally invalid and of no force and effect" on Monday, effectively paving the way for legalization.If the government does not respond within 90 days with a successful delay or re-regulation of marijuana, the drug will be legal to possess and produce in Ontario, where the decision is binding.
