The Emerald Storm (Paperback)
The year is 1803. Swashbuckling, ribald, and irreverent hero Ethan Gage has outsmarted wily enemies and survived dangerous challenges across the globe, from the wilds of the American frontier to the pyramids of Egypt. Now the rakish hero finds himself in the Caribbean with his wife, Astiza, on a desperate hunt to secure the lost treasure of Montezuma a legendary hoard rumored to have been hidden from Cortes's plundering Spanish conquistadors. Hot on his heels are British agents who want the gold to finance a black slave revolt in Saint-Domingue, robbing hostile France of its richest colony. The French, too, seek the treasure for the secrets it contains, the key to an incredible new means of invasion that can ensure Britain's defeat on its own land.
Caught between the French and the rebel slave forces, Ethan and Astiza are in a race for gold and glory that will thrust them into the center of a bloody struggle for freedom as they try to rescue their son. And this time, Gage's luck may be running out.
Brilliantly combining science, history, mythology, and wit, William Dietrich has woven a larger-than-life tale that sees Ethan embroiled in the Napoleonic era's ideals, opportunism, and inventions, which gave rise to the modern world. Filled with intrigue, voodoo, a hurricane, violent political unrest, and unexpected passion, The Emerald Storm is Dietrich's most captivating work to date.
About the Author
William Dietrich is the author of fourteen novels, including six previous Ethan Gage titles Napoleon's Pyramids, The Rosetta Key, The Dakota Cipher, The Barbary Pirates, The Emerald Storm, and The Barbed Crown.

Visa announces digital wallet payment service V.me
Planned for an Autumn launch
PAYMENT OUTFIT Visa has announced that it will launch a digital wallet payment service this Autumn dubbed V.me.
The service, which will use near field communication (NFC), will initially be accessed through a web browser on PCs, laptops, tablets and smartphones, and will launch to selected consumers in the UK, Spain and France.
Visa said in a press release that the service will be made available through Visa's member banks and retailers will be able to streamline the customer checkout process to "drive up conversion rates and shopper satisfaction".
Consumers will also be able to put multiple cards into the wallet.
Visa's EVP of product and marketing solutions Mariano Dima said, "Our intention is that V.me will be able to incorporate any or all of our new payment technologies, allowing our members to deliver the best possible payments experience whether face-to-face, online or in a mobile environment."
Visa also announced payments processor Worldpay as a development partner in the delivery of the V.me service in the UK.
Visa said it will announce further development and launch partners in each market, including banks and retailers, in the near future. Regardless, we should see the Visa.me service go live come August through September.
Visa's launch of its digital wallet service is a little late, as it was almost a year ago that Google showed off its similar virtual wallet service named 'Google Wallet' and made it available to those who own a Google smartphone. µ

I have SmartLabs dimmers #2476d in my house and some will turn on all the way on a single tap while other turn half way and then when tap second time they go all the way.
Any idea how I can configure those that go all the way to turn on half way on first tap? Am I making sense?

The Abramson Cancer Center of the University of Pennsylvania
Last Modified: May 3, 2002
"Ancestral Fields" is the result of a metamorphosis. It bears witness to my first truly courageous act as an artist: the act of destruction b(e)aring creation. This intense growth experience occurred as a direct result of a mentoring relationship I had with the late artist Warren Rohrer, who died of cancer in 1995.
"Ancestral Fields I" was an attempt to capture a memory from a childhood landscape. Though it accomplished that aim, I sensed there was something more to be discovered in it. A full year later, I began to destroy the painting I had worked so hard to create. I scraped and sanded and gouged and tore until a completely new piece emerged, replete with the history of my hands. It was a cathartic moment for me and a significant turning point in my development as an artist. None of this could have happened without Warren Rohrer. He not only was a remarkably vital man, despite fighting his cancer for over a decade, but possessed an integrity with which he lived his life and created his work that was the purest I have ever known.
This piece emerged as a humble homage to Warren's art and his fields.

The AUM Center for Government and Public Affairs has announced the winners of the 2013 Innovative Alabama Governments Awards. The Alabama Departments of Mental Health and Rehabilitation Services and the City of Vestavia Hills were both recognized for increasing efficiency and responsiveness at the state and local level.
The Alabama Departments of Mental Health and Rehabilitation Services received the State/Regional award for Project SEARCH, which trains young people with disabilities for employment. Only 5 percent of Alabamians with developmental and intellectual disabilities are participating in integrated employment. For those who choose sheltered employment as a means of developing job skills for competitive employment, only about 3.5 percent ever exit the sheltered workshop to work in mainstream jobs. These statistics place Alabama at the bottom of the 50 states.
Teaming up with the Alabama Council for Developmental Disabilities, an internship program was created to give high school students with disabilities the opportunity to train for mainstream employment. More than 70 percent of students who participated in the program are working today.
The City of Vestavia Hills received the Local/County award for E-911 Procurement, a project in which the city contracted Shelby County 911 to cover its emergency communication services. Vestavia Hills operated a 911 Communications Center that faced several challenges: high operating costs, impending capital needs, and the quality of service. Although the city received approximately $500,000 each year in special funds from 911 charges on telephone service, the system's operation equipment costs exceeded $1 million.
Shelby County 911, a proven provider of service in the region with a long track record in the industry, served multiple public safety agencies at the time, and was willing to contract service with other agencies in the region. Vestavia Hills transitioned to Shelby County 911, halving the monthly cost of 911 service for the city while raising its call handling capability to the point that property insurance rates are expected to be lowered for homeowners.
Since 2006, the Auburn Montgomery Center for Government has recognized innovative programs that increase efficiency and/or the responsiveness of government and nonprofit agencies.

The Prevalence of Peanut Allergy
In This Article:
The most common reaction with peanut sensitivity is a feeling of itchiness and a red rash, particularly around the mouth where the food comes in contact with the skin. If the rash and itchiness are limited and are the only symptoms, treatment with an antihistamine (such as Benadryl®) may be sufficient. The AAFA says that if the rash is widespread and other symptoms emerge, such as asthma and digestive symptoms, the reaction should be considered systemic or "anaphylactic." Swelling of the tongue and throat, difficulty breathing, abdominal pain, vomiting, and a change in the level of alertness are all signs of possible life-threatening anaphylaxis. Any child displaying these symptoms needs immediate medical attention.
If your child has been diagnosed with a peanut allergy, your doctor may prescribe an EpiPen®, a spring-loaded needle that you can shoot directly into the body to deliver the medication when an allergic reaction occurs. After treatment with an EpiPen, the child must be taken to the nearest medical facility for observation, since a delayed reaction may occur anywhere from four to six hours later, requiring additional treatment.What Foods Should Be Avoided?
The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology cautions that anyone who is allergic to peanuts should avoid the following ingredients:
- Artificial nuts, beer nuts, ground nuts, mixed nuts, monkey nuts, nut pieces
- Cold pressed, expelled, or extruded peanut oil or arachis oil
- Mandelonas
- Peanut butter, peanut flour
- Items that may include peanut protein: African, Chinese, Indonesian, Mexican, Thai and Vietnamese dishes; baked goods; candy; chili; egg rolls; enchilada sauce; flavoring; marzipan; nougat, and sunflower seeds
The AAFA adds these foods to the above list:
- Muesli and other cereals
- Ice creams
- Soups
- Natural flavoring
- "Health foods" - nutrition and energy bars and other sweets
- Sauces
It is important to read all labels with every purchase. Just because a product was safe the last time you purchased it doesn't mean the ingredients have stayed the same. When you eat out, never be shy about asking for the ingredients of a dish.
If your child has a severe peanut allergy, there are other precautions you should take to avoid problems. While smelling peanut butter won't cause a reaction, skin contact will. If there are any peanut butter eaters in your house or your friends' houses, any surfaces the allergic child is likely to touch should be washed with soap and water (e.g., tabletops and countertops, toys, doorknobs, etc.). Remember, too, that cross-contamination can easily occur if a knife that was used to spread peanut butter is then dipped into a jelly jar without first being washed. Inhaling peanut dust (which was a problem on airlines when planeloads of people ripped open bags of peanuts) can also cause a reaction.

I have a set of drill bits but no drill. I need to make a hole in a thin surface prone to splitting and don't have a hand drill or a power drill on hand ; what could I use to make that hole?
Knife with a sharp point. Dimple the surface with the point and gently twist your wrist. Turn the knife 180 degrees and continue till you've pierced the material. Do the same from the other side till the hole is the size you need. You have to be really gentle but it's a field technique I've used on up to 3/8" thick materials. Then go out and buy yourself a cordless drill so those bits become useful.
And for those who object. When the stuff hits the fan and you're 20 miles from home on your motorcycle, nothing's so useless as the drill motor and case of bits sitting on the workbench. Improvised field repair techniques aren't just for McGyver.
If the material is plastic hold the drill bit with pliers. Heat the drill bit on the stove. Push the drill bit thru the plastic with the pliers to form the hole. Throw the drill bit away after it has cooled because you have rendered it useless for drilling anything.

I spend a fair amount of time evangelizing the Spring Framework, and with good reason. Spring is not only a great lightweight container framework that provides IoC (Inversion of Control) and Dependency Injection, but it pretty much has a tool, component for every task that you can think of when dealing with the day to day ins and outs of programming.
You probably have a need for Spring and you don't even know it if you haven't used it before. Most developers at one time or another have created frameworks to accomplish tasks like remoting, JMS, MVC, database interactions, batch work, etc., so I would label Spring as "The framework" for such tasks instead of succumbing to the "roll your own" urge. I started using Spring back in 2006 and I have not, in over 50 Java projects since then, neglected to utilize it to some extent. It has reduced the amount of code I have to write, allowed me to dynamically wire dependencies together at runtime and even provided tools for tasks that I thought I was going to have to write something custom to accomplish.
Spring was born as a solution to the heavy-weight EJB and J2EE container environments. It reduces the overhead of J2EE, allows the usage of containers that are not J2EE compliant like Tomcat and Jetty and provides a consistent API that most developers these days are familiar with. Here are some example of what Spring can do:
- Dependency Injection (e.g. create a database pool object factory in XML and inject that into objects at runtime)
- Eliminates the need to write specific code for singleton patterns
- Allows you to turn a POJO into a service with a mere annotation
- With Aspects, it allows you to inject values into classes that are not managed by Spring
- Spring has an abstraction on top of over 100 different frameworks in Java
- Spring MVC is the most concise and robust MVC framework
- Spring provides JPA, Hibernate and DataNucleus support and will allow transaction demarkation
- Spring provides AOP capabilities to allow method interception and point cuts
- Exposing POJO methods as web services is as simple as adding Apache CXF to the mix
- Annotation support is richer than any other framework
- Spring is the most widely used Java framework
- Property file loading and substitution in XML
Spring is not only a Java tool, in fact, Spring.NET is available for the .NET platform. It is usually a little bit behind the Java version but it is out there.
What are these new concepts AOP, IoC and Dependency Injection?
Usually a discussion of Spring always amounts to explaining the concepts that are at the core of the framework. Let's take a look at each of them and what they give you. IoC and Dependency Injection go hand in hand. IoC is the concept and Dependency Injection is the mechanism. For example, you create a service class on your own and now you need to manage that class by ensuring it only has one instance, you also need to get that class reference to other classes to utilize so you create a mechanism for that. Now you need transaction support so you write that in, but you also need to dynamically read in properties that are for the environment you are running in and it goes on and on. As you can see, it not only gets complicated, but that is a lot of code you are writing and maintaining yourself. Spring provides it all and through XML or annotations (preferrable the latter), you can with one simple Plain Old Java Object (POJO) accomplish all of this through Spring conventions and inject the values of the objects into your service or inject your service into any other class by simply this.
//Service class Spring Bean
public MyService implements IService {
public void doThis();
//MVC Controller Class
public MyController {
MyService myService
public Report doThat() {
In just a few lines of code, we created a singleton service that is transactional and we created a controller to call that service. There are way more complex things we could do here. For example, using the OpenSessionInView Pattern, we could get the Controller to control opening the transaction and closing it to allow for multiple service calls to use the same transactional context. We could also change the isolation level of the transaction. The point here is that we used Dependency Injection to demonstrate what IoC can do.
AOP or Aspect Oriented Programming is an advanced concept in the Spring world. AOP is merely the separation of cross-cutting concerns. The Transactional support of Spring is similar to AOP. The ability of Spring and AspectJ to allow you to inject objects into other objects that are not managed by Spring is another great example. Transactions, Security, Logging and anything other than the business at hand is a cross cutting concern. The goal of AOP is to separate those away from the code. If you didn't use AOP, then you would have to actually control these elements your self. Take for example that you want to check that a user is valid before method calls. Without AOP, you would have to write some checkUserIsValid() method and call it at the beginning of each method. Using AOP, you could merely mark with an annotation or Aspects that each method of a certain class call another method on another class as an interceptor.
Spring is also for simple projects
You may be thinking Spring is too heavy weight for the task at hand… nonsense. I will guarantee that Spring, used properly, will reduce the amount of code in your project by at least 25%. That is 25% less code for your to maintain or write in the first place. Also, Spring provides even tools to accomplish the small tasks such as the following:
- Finding resources on the classpath or file system (ResourceLocator)
- Finding classes with a certain annotation
- Generating JSON/XML from objects and vice versa (Jackson support)
- load multiple property files and substitute variables inside of your spring XML files (Useful when promoting to different environments)
- Ability to treat a JNDI resource as just another bean
- Ability to treat a web service as just another bean
- JDBCTemplate for issuing database queries and batch framework for batch operations
- Spring Data for NOSQL support with Mongo
- MVC Content negotiation to convert a POJO to JSON,XML, PDF (iText), Excel (POI) and more
- Security integration that supports Windows, Active Directory, Kerberos, Basic, Digest, etc.
- Robust Testing adapters for Junit and TestNG
I could spent a week delivering Spring training to a group of developers and only scratch the surface of what is there. Without a doubt though, when I have a tough problem to solve or a simple Java project, I always utilize parts of Spring. Conveniently, Spring is broken up into modules so that you can only include the ones that have the functionality you need to avoid causing any project bloat.
With Spring being the #1 Java framework, I highly recommend spending some time getting familiar with it and I recommend getting some training as well from someone like myself who is an expert with the framework who can show you everything it has to offer before you start utilizing it. You can also get training directly from vmWare, the company that owns SpringSource.
