The code I was trying to use before was supposed to inject the entityManager inside it. I tried using that but got a nullPointerException cause it apparently hadn't been initialized. I read somewhere that it won't be initialized until after the constructor for the bean is called, so I made a separate function that is called after construction and still no go.
log.debug("initializing session");
EntityManagerFactory emf = Persistence.createEntityManagerFactory("defaultStorage");
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager(); // Retrieve an application managed entity manager
org.hibernate.Session session = hibernateStorage.getSessionFactory().getCurrentSession();
Query query = em.createNamedQuery("Session.findBySessionId");
query.setParameter("sessionId", sessionId);
Session loadedSession = (Session) query.getSingleResult();
So, my question is:
@PersistenceContext(unitName = "persistenceUnit")
private EntityManager em;

A vintage light from Venice, CA's Obsolete hangs over Teddy's bed. A collection of art looks grown-up, but each piece is kid-friendly. "Most of the art was given to us as gifts, and nothing is superexpensive," Estee says. "The map was given to my husband by Oliver Jeffers, who wrote this great kids' book called The Incredible Book Eating Boy, about a boy who literally eats books and gains all this knowledge."

This chapter is a song of holy joy and praise, in which the great things God had engaged, in the foregoing chapter, to do for his people against his enemies and their enemies are celebrated: it is prepared to be sung when that prophecy should be accomplished; for we must be forward to meet God with our thanksgivings when he is coming towards us with his mercies. Now the people of God are here taught, I. To triumph in the safety and holy security both of the church in general and of every particular member of it, under the divine protection, Isa. 26:1-4. II. To triumph over all opposing powers, Isa. 26:5, 6. III. To walk with God, and wait for him, in the worst and darkest times, Isa. 26:7-9. IV. To lament the stupidity of those who regarded not the providence of God, either merciful or afflictive, Isa. 26:10, 11. V. To encourage themselves, and one another, with hopes that God would still continue to do them good (Isa. 26:12, 14), and engage themselves to continue in his service, Isa. 26:13. VI. To recollect the kind providences of God towards them in their low and distressed condition, and their conduct under those providences, Isa. 26:15-18. VII. To rejoice in hope of a glorious deliverance, which should be as a resurrection to them (Isa. 26:19), and to retire in the expectation of it, Isa. 26:20, 21. And this is written for the support and assistance of the faith and hope of God's people in all ages, even those upon whom the ends of the world have come.

The only way to save contacts to SIM card is individually going into a contact, moving the cursor to the number, pressing the menu button and then select 'Copy to SIM Phone Book'.

To Thomas Hardy, Percey Bysshe Shelley, John Keats, and anyone else who wrote a famous bird poem. You are all pretentious dicks.
The Darkling 'Dactyl
I perch'd upon a cliff and ate,
When land was full buffet.
And running was done, desperate,
Which made for weakened prey.
The tangled masses run to die.
Chase bolstered just my ire.
And all the time I hunted high,
I sought them 'til I tire.
On land's sharp features seemed to be,
A score of dead outleant.
I view this crypt from canopy.
From me their death was meant.
So, this current sight brought no mirth,
A hunter, high and dry.
And every spirit upon the Earth
Seem'd fervorless as I.
At once a squeak arose! That tongue!
A broken twig ahead.
Being wholehearted and headstrong,
I dive, speed unlimit'd.
The aged beast, frail, gaunt, and small,
Its terror-fueled fume
Has drawn me to tear it a hole,
And leave a new blood bloom.
So very much cause for carolings,
Of such desperate sound,
Writ in terrestrial feedings.
Not here nor far around
Was an animal that snuck through
This happy, good-night air.
So, some poor creature, somewhere knows
That I am quite aware.

Down to Earth
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this movie has strong language, including frequent use of the "N" word. (The movie points out that everything depends on whether the word is said by a white person or a black person -- this is well worth discussing.) There are sexual references and situations, including adultery and a proposed menage a trois (with two women in bed). A couple's sexual relationship includes insults and fighting. Characters drink and smoke, and make drug references. Characters are killed (some accidentally) and one commits suicide because he has lost his money.

What's the story?
In this refresh of the play originally called Heaven Can Wait, struggling stand-up comedian Lance Barton (Chris Rock) is prematurely delivered to heaven by an angel named Keyes (Eugene Levy). Keyes' boss decides to send Lance back to Earth, and the funny man agrees to temporarily inhabit the body of the extremely wealthy Charles Wellington, a white man in his sixties whose young wife and assistant are trying to kill him. Lance falls for Sontee (Regina King) -- who arrives to tell the heartless Wellington off -- and he struggles to portray a rich white guy. When he tries to do his usual stand-up routine on the differences between blacks and whites, the audience is shocked and offended. Somehow Sontee sees past his appearance. As they begin to fall in love, Lance is reluctant to leave Wellington's body but manages to take what he has learned when it is time to move on.
Is it any good?
The people behind this frivolous comedy (the Weitz brothers, of American Pie and Chuck and Buck) wisely devote 25 percent of the film to Rock's stand-up routine. Chris Rock has a likeable comic presence and has made some memorable screen appearances in movies like Dogma and Nurse Betty. But he's not an actor. He has no capacity to show even the few emotions called for in this movie. During the dramatic and romantic episodes, he always appears to be counting the minutes before he can go back on stage. It is also a real disappointment to see the comic talents of one of today's most talented actresses, Regina King (of Jerry Maguire and How Stella Got Her Groove Back) neglected.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about what it would be like to inhabit the body of someone of another race (or gender). Tellingly, since he always appears the same to himself, Lance discovers that a new body he is inhabiting is black only when he tries to hail a cab and none will stop for him. How does humor change, based on who is telling the joke? What jokes do you tell about your own group that might offend you coming from someone else? Are there jokes you might tell among your own group that you would not say in a mixed group? Some families might want to talk about the conflicts between making a profit and helping the community raised by Sontee's protests.

Spectroscopic Simulator
We chose to develop this applet first since it covers an aspect of the course that is based on relatively simple mathematics, but which students seem to find very confusing. At this point in the course, students have learned the basic aspects of quantum mechanics, namely, that the energy associated with the motions of molecules can not be assigned arbitrarily but must take on specific values.

Warning: Graphic video. "Winchester's Deadly Passion" TV host Melissa Bachman posed with the lion she says she shot and killed in Africa. The photo went viral and a petition gained 100,000 signatures to ban her from South Africa.
Warning: graphic images and video.
It's the shot seen around the world. A photo of Melissa Bachman posed near a lion she claims she shot and killed has sparked a Change.org petition calling for her to be banned from South Africa.
Bachman stars in a hunting TV show called Winchester's Deadly Passion. Her social accounts are filled with pictures of her kills – alligators, zebras, deer and more. The show follows her on hunts across the world.
But this one photo with her next to a male lion she killed in Africa has received a lot of attention. Bachnman, a Minnesota native, posted the photo on Facebook and her website – www.melissabachman.com.
A Change.org petition asking for her to be prevented entry to South Africa reached 100,000 signatures Monday. The letter says that she is an absolute contradiction to the culture of conservation South Africa prides itself on.
The lion is not an endangered species, but scientists say they are vulnerable — and some worry they could be in their last decades of existence.
What do you think? Outrageous or outstanding? Tweet using #ZoomIN to share what you think of the viral photo.

My birth mother left me 'to be babysat' by my grandmother as a toddler to take my three year old brother to a 'movie'. She was found three months later living in another state. My birth father was married and uninterested. Consequently I was adopted by my grandmother and my grandmother's new husband and the deal they made was I was never supposed to know. My birth mother became my 'sister' and in my large family, it didn't really matter anyway, and I saw her regularly as a child.
My birth mother spilled the beans when I was 18 (I am now early 30s) after having an affair with my boyfriend at the time and he told me. Not only was I devastated about that (I mean wtf) but who she had left me with. Her story was that she was 'confused' but the rest of the family says it was because she was violent towards me. With the scars I still have from that time, I believe them.
My grandmother was abusive and to this day denies that one of my 'uncles' sexually assaulted both my birth mother, my aunt and me as children. My adopted father was hardly there. In short, my childhood was horrific. I have digestive problems and flashbacks. My 'family' can best be described as criminal trailer trash.
With therapy and distance I have overcome these to create an awesome life. I changed my name and began again. I have a child who I parent with love. My birth mother had a lot more children (some she kept, some she didn't) and I keep in contact with all of them.
During these last years I have maintained a distant relationship with her. I realised a lot of her issues are from the abuse she suffered. She loves her grandchild and is sorry I was mistreated.
Problem is, she now has breast cancer. Due to her inability to lay off the booze and eat properly it has been a long hard road of treatment.
Unfortunately, I am the only one who can help her. She doesn't drive, my siblings are either too far away or just don't care and since I am the 'responsible one' somehow I am landed with it.
I understand this supposed to be a time where 'love brings us together' but I have a life. my son my work and my degree take up all of my life. I have responsibilies and although I feel so terribly sad for her situation, I took myself away from their lives for a reason.
I have had to miss classes and miss work to look after her knowing that if my rent doesn't get paid, there is literally NO ONE who 'has MY back'. I have used the help govt/respite has given me but still, this is a burden and I feel guilty as hell for feeling this way.
Should I ditch chemo mum because she ditched me as a toddler or should I do 'the right thing' and help her?
Do you have any advice for our reader? Let her know in the comments.

Custom Tumblr Website
- Status Closed
- Budget N/A
- Total Bids 20
Project Description
My client needs a custom, professional-looking, Tumblr based website created. She doesn't specify any specific layout to use, but refers to [url removed, login to view] as what she considers to be a good looking website to base it off of. All custom graphics would be provided. (logo, etc.)
The theme of the site is based on music. It would have to be able to allow articles/interviews with pictures to be posted. Also videos would be posted on occasion.
There will have to be a function that allows music playlists to be embedded into posts. The songs would be hosted by Grooveshark or Spotify so they could also be played with mobile apps. There should also be a section that can compile all the different posts with music playlists so you can see all the playlists in one area.
Please respond with the message "Greetings ABC" at the top of your message so I know you read this. Otherwise you will be ignored.

Why I Don't Vote
by David Jones
I have not voted in a national election since 1996 and will never vote again. It's not that I don't care or that I'm lazy. It's just that I've come to the conclusion that voting doesn't matter. More importantly, voting is antithetical to the values I hold dear. Voting is often held to be "a sacred duty" or "a right" or even a "moral responsibility". Those in power love to promote elections and voters rights because they know that voting gives legitimacy to what they do once elected. Why else would billions of dollars be devoted to election politics? Politicians desperately plea with citizens to "get out and vote" because they know that elections provide cover for them. "Make your voice heard" is a constant refrain as if going to the polling booth once every two or four years and secretly casting a ballot will miraculously change the course of human history.
In the end the biggest reason I don't vote, the only one that truly matters is that inevitably my vote is an act of aggression against others. The Declaration of Independence, one of the foundational documents that governs this country states correctly that "…all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". The key to that phrase is that our rights are unalienable which means non-transferable. I can vote to give away my freedoms but I cannot vote to take away yours. If our rights are unalienable (non transferable) then they cannot be usurped by a voter or group of voters and yet that is the crux of all voting. All voting is about taking something from someone and giving it to another or appointing someone lord and master over others against their will.
Voting is an act of violence because each voter assumes the right to appoint political and legal guardians over other human beings. No individual voter or even a majority of voters has such a right morally. If they claim to possess such a right, please have them clearly explain where that right comes from and how it squares with the self-evident truths of the Declaration of Independence "that all men are created equal" and that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable "Rights" of "Life, Liberty," and Property. When someone slips into a voting booth and pulls the lever they are no different than the highwayman who pulls a pistol out of his pocket and robs you in broad daylight.
Some people say that voting is a key to democracy and necessary to preserve our rights. This is hogwash. History has shown repeatedly that voting does not preserve rights and in fact is used as a tool to take them away. There are countless examples of so called democracy, even representative democracy such as that practiced in America, electing tyrants. It should be noted that Hitler rose to office in a thoroughly democratic process. Moreover, if voting is required to preserve our rights then they aren't unalienable are they? Our rights become conditional, something bestowed by the state. This is a very dangerous proposition, to allow the state the ability to assign rights because what it can give it can surely take away. And it routinely does.
Voting is an act of consent. I do not choose to offer my consent. When you vote you agree to abide by the rules of the game and accept the outcome. By voting, the voter endorses the governmental system under which he or she lives and those in control of it. Each voter is saying: It is right and proper for some people, acting in the name of the State, to pass laws and to use violence to compel obedience to those laws if they are not obeyed regardless of the morality of those laws.
I've often heard people say – "Well, if you don't vote you don't have the right to complain." Let me see if I understand the argument: If I don't vote I forfeit my right to free speech. Free speech is not an unalienable right but contingent on me voting. This of course must mean that other rights are conditional and based on whether I vote or not. The logical extension of this argument would suggest that the other protections afforded me in the Bill of Rights are only valid if I vote. If I don't vote I can't own a gun. If I don't vote I am subject to unreasonable search and seizure. If I don't vote I cannot expect to be secure in my "persons, houses, papers, and effects." If I don't vote I cannot decline to testify against myself and due process is not available to me. That's what these people are saying. It's a terrifying prospect to suggest that voting is the fulcrum on which all human liberty is balanced.
Voters are never held accountable for their vote. They vote anonymously to elect leaders that reflect their values with no regard for the rights of their fellow citizens. When you think about it, voting is a cowardly act. It allows people to do by way of proxies to others what they cannot or will not do themselves such as stealing or killing or otherwise agressing. Furthermore, those elected are never held accountable for the debt they accrue on behalf of those they represent and the resulting economic harm. The worst thing that happens is the they are voted out of office with a full lifetime pension when they should in fact be in jail for armed robbery.
Some people would say, "Vote for the person or issue that best reflects your values." In other words, vote for the lesser of evils. There are a lot of problems with the argument. If we vote for a bad candidate, we are partly responsible for the harm done by that candidate. This is true even if our sole intent was to defeat a worse candidate. One evil does not justify another. It would have been better not to vote at all. Supporting the lesser of two evils tells politicians that it is acceptable for them to do likewise. The "vote for lesser of evils" strategy always results in a downward trend in the quality of candidates. Politicians won't change if they know we'll vote for them anyway. Good candidates seldom receive the support they need to become viable. The problem of bad choices is thereby perpetuated, and the nation continues to deteriorate until the day when our choices will be an Adolf Hitler and a Joseph Stalin. The lesser of two evils is still an evil.
"When a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental – men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or be lost… All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men. As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." – Henry L. Mencken
In the end and after considerable thought I've decided to never vote again regardless of candidates or issues on the ballot. People will ask questions like – "how will we decide who leads us?" or "isn't the democratic process a key to a civilized society?" Okay, in the interest of full disclosure I'm a voluntaryist or anarchist if you like. I am not a fan of government. The greatest con in recent human history is the "social contract" put forth by the likes of Thomas Hobbes, John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This theory posits that individuals either explicitly or implicitly surrender some of their freedoms to rulers in exchange for security. Here's the problem – there really is no contract and there is no practical way of withdrawing consent. What social contract theory did was replace the "divine right of kings" with the "divine right of gangs". The majority has absolute control over the minority using a faux legal entity called government. "Government is not reason. It is not eloquence," George Washington reportedly said. "Government is force; like fire it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master."
The question of who will govern me is moot because I don't care to be governed, at least by the present rules. More than anything, I don't want any votes I cast to be used to exact violence against others. I don't want to be responsible for the debt that politicians accrue which must be paid by future generations including my children and grandchildren. And I don't want to enable politicians to wage endless wars which inevitably murder innocent non-combatants. As far as deciding who will lead us, that's none of my business. If someone chooses to give up their sovereignty and be lead then fine. Just don't ask me to participate in the charade.
"Although I admit that the outcome in a stateless society will be bad, because not only are people not angels, but many of them are irredeemably vicious in the extreme, I conjecture that the outcome in a society under a state will be worse, indeed much worse, because, first, the most vicious people in society will tend to gain control of the state and, second, by virtue of this control over the state's powerful engines of death and destruction, they will wreak vastly more harm than they ever could have caused outside the state. It is unfortunate that some individuals commit crimes, but it is stunningly worse when such criminally inclined individuals wield state powers… Only states can pose truly massive threats, and sooner or later the horrors with which they menace mankind invariably come to pass…" – Robert Higgs
Consider this opinion from Becky Akers posted on LewRockwell.com:
"Why I Don't Vote
Today's a big day for the State, one of its holiest: Election Day. So let me ask whether you celebrated: did you vote?
Politicians, bureaucrats, and the corporate media all insist that voting is one of our fundamental "civil rights." It's our "civic duty" to participate in this collective ritual. And folks who love the State have long pushed to expand the franchise. For example, after Lincoln's War of Northern Aggression, politicians gave ex-slaves the right to vote. Then, in the 1920's, it was women, and more recently, 18-year-olds. Some quarters are now urging that we give the vote to immigrants who haven't yet secured a bureaucrat's permission to live here; others want to amend the Constitution to include a right to vote, incredibly enough.
But is all that voting good for liberty? Are "civil rights" in general compatible with freedom?
I say they aren't.
Let me be clear: I'm speaking of the political philosophy of civil rights. And it is an actual philosophy, not just a slogan hippies and Marxists spouted during the 1960s. As such, "civil rights" is diametrically opposed to liberty.
"Civil rights" teaches what its name implies: that our rights descend from the State. ("Civil" comes from the Latin civis, meaning "citizen" and therefore under the government's control.)"

Hello all, I asked a question not too long ago that was up this same alley, but I have a more direct question that perhaps you can help with. I have xml data on a server, stored as a DOM, and I need to expose to a client the ability to query the document. XPath seems the perfect interface. However, I am concerned that if a client performs an XPath query, the resulting data returned won't be only the nodelist, but a whole bunch of other unnecessary info and data structures that the nodes reference (like potentially the entire DOM). I am not totally sure about that, but my last post about this suggested strongly that resulting nodes from an XPath queries had underpinnings to the "mother ship", if you will. So...any advice on how to allow clients to query a remote DOM, and receive only the actual results across the wire? Thanks in advance!

TV news and notes:
– Apparently Kenya Moore and Porsha Williams's brawl at the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" reunion could be enough to make Moore leave the show. According to Moore, she is considering departing "RHOA" because of the violent nature of the outburst. Moore joined the Bravo reality series in its fifth season. [Associated Press]
– The premiere ratings for "Fargo" have gone from OK to much more than OK with three days of DVR viewing. FX says the show grew from 2.65 million to 4.46 million viewers, a gain of 68 percent, in Live +3 ratings, and scored a 74 percent gain (1.02 million to 1.78 million) among adults 18-49. Both gains are running ahead for those of the series premieres of "The Bridge" and "The Americans."
– WGN America's "Salem"
has added a familiar face to its fold. Stephen Lang will recur as
Increase Mather, one of the hardcore puritans who helped found Salem in
the late 1600s. He's the most feared and most influential man in the
country. [Deadline]
– "Teen Wolf" Season 4 will feature a new recurring character named Fahey. Set to make his first appearance in episode 6 when the show returns this summer, the character is described as a masculine (but frightened) "hired gun" in his late 30s. [E!Online]
– Keke Palmer ("The Trip to Bountiful") is getting her own talk show. BET Networks is developing a new daily talk show, working title "The Keke Palmer Project," that will target the millennial audience. The initial four-week run will premiere in July and air Monday through Friday. This move will make 20-year-old Palmer the youngest talk show host in TV history. [Deadline]
– SiriusXM and NBC News have announced they are launching "Today Show"
Radio on Thursday, June 26. It will make the morning show available to
radio listeners for the first time ever. The Sirius channel will provide
live audio feeds of "Today," including the fourth hour with Hoda Kotb
and Kathie Lee Gifford, plus replays of the broadcasts will be
available. In addition, popular recurring series, including the live
summer concerts from Rockefeller Plaza, will be featured on the SiriusXM
channel. The channel will be 108.
– CBS' comedy pilot "Cuz-Bros" has nabbed another actor from a struggling comedy series. Ian Gomez, who co-stars on TBS' "Cougar Town," will play the boss of Geoff Stults' sportscaster Nick on the sitcom. Stults' "Enlisted" costar, Parker Young, plays Nick's mess of a cousin, Barry. [Deadline]

Pollen daubing per se often is just seeing what happens. Might be just as
well that's mostly what I do. On the post last month of the 'parents and
kids', from the time I saw that red seedling I'd wanted to use AT LAST with
a red parent. I don't grow many I considered red enough, but DESERT FURY
is. When the opportunity came I got the pod. Going for red. Well, I was
as bad as any medieval king wanting a male heir and getting a daughter
instead. These results weren't what I was after. I dismissed them out of
hand. It was several days and a number of blooms before I could rationally
evaluate them for what they were instead of what they weren't. Good thing
for them they were aggressive increasers that put on lots of bloom stalks to
give me time. A single stalk would probably have consigned them to the
compost pile with no further consideration. Only #1 came close and the
standards were more purple than red. Maybe KALIFA'S ROBE will give me an
opportunity to try again. Don't think I'll try this cross
again.Donald Eavesmailto:donald%40eastland.netTexas

La Toya Jackson scene removed from `Bruno' movie
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The filmmakers behind "Bruno" have decided to delete a scene involving La Toya Jackson following her brother's death.
Universal Pictures, which is releasing the comedy, said the decision came "out of respect for the Jackson family."
The moment was first cut out of the movie's Los Angeles premiere Thursday night, which took place just hours after the Michael Jackson's death at age 50.
"Bruno," starring British comic Sacha Baron Cohen as a flamboyantly gay Austrian fashion correspondent, is set to come out July 10. La Toya Jackson had been featured in an absurd interview with Bruno in which she sits on a Mexican man's back and eats sushi off a second, naked Mexican man.

Recent reviews
Excellent 4.2 /5 from 126 reviews
Stayed in bologna for an expo and this place was ok for being our of the action
Just an overnight between airport and train ride. Cab from airport ~ 30€ Very nice place. Good food. Excellent staff. A wedding Saturday night, but it quieted down early enough.
Out if town - you will need a car but nice hotel with good grounds. I had a large room with south facing balcony. Good choice of dinner and breakfast menus and staff very helpful. Did not use the pool. Enclosed courtyard and terrace as well as gardens. Would stay here again
This hotel was selected on our trip so we could have a little pool time and relax. Apparently if you aren't a wedding party or conference guest, you may as well be chopped liver! Every night the dinner was booked for parties and conferences and there was only one restaurant within walking distance (thankfully a decent one). Would not recommend unless you enjoy the feeling of being stuck somewhere that doesn't care if you should be fed or not! Also, the rooms were poorly soundproofed so good luck getting a good night's sleep.
Very good value and easy location. Peaceful

text: This is a Metal Clad Wood Wheel set with a New Departure Model A rear hub and a Model M front hub. Both wheels have been re-laced with new spokes on long nipples. The wood is perfect and super tight. No loose pieces or cracked pieces falling out. The rims were painted some time in the past post and it is very soft so I figure a spray can job. There is no pitting from rust so these will finish out nice or are a great candidate for re-plating. These rims have a few dimples lightly scattered about. Very few to speak of. The metal on this set of wheels is free of any rusted pitting. NO PITTS. There is one spot on the front rim that is slightly dented and I included a picture of it. I have never ridden these but admonish anyone who buys them to rebuild the hubs, both of them. The hubs have never been rebuilt. The pictures say it all. I want $175 for these with FREE SHIPPING. Sold as is. NO RETURNS Free Shipping to the lower 48 states. I will ship world wide. Ask for shipping quote. Please look at my other auctions for more parts from the 1890s Wood Wheel bicycle era.

Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Newfield Exploration
So what: Oil and gas revenues grew to $677 million from $528 million a year ago. Net income more than tripled to $68 million, or $0.51 per share. On an adjusted basis, which excludes a large derivative loss, earnings per share were $0.95, below the $1.01 per share in earnings analysts expected.
Now what: Newfield is trying to transition to more liquids production, like most of the industry, but is finding costs hard to control. The other downside is that increased liquids production is barely expected to make up for the loss in natural gas revenue, making investors a bit uneasy. The company is only trading at 8.3 times 2012 earnings estimates, so there could be some upside potential, but I would like to see costs controlled and an earnings beat before jumping into this stock.

Pros: It is short, so can be used to occupy an empty drive bay in the event that the faceplate turns up missing.
Cons: Claims to burn DVDs. Unable to produce even a single working DVD.
Too light to work as a doorstop.
Too bulky for a paperweight.
Other Thoughts: Was unable to test the drive within NewEgg's 30 days, so attempted to resolve the issue with Asus but even after they acknowledged that the drive was faulty, they refused to make good.
I have personally boycotted the company and have influenced others, steering purchases away from ASUS. The end result: I lost about $20 and some time and effort. ASUS saved the cost of repairing or replacing the drive but lost ~$4000 (and counting!) in other sales that I can account for, possibly more that I am not yet aware of.
If I can't trust them to fix a cheap, known faulty DVD burner that doesn't burn DVDs, how can I trust any of their more expensive, more complicated products?

Pros: Acceptable price. Not bulky like my previous 2x1GB sticks.. Seems to work well enough.
Cons: Package was a bit of a PITA to get into.
Other Thoughts: This package had a voucher code for a free movie download, but nothing interested me. Took almost an hour to get the board to even attempt to POST with both these and my older 2x1GB sticks, but that is likely the fault of my board. After manually setting the CAS latency, everything seems to be running fine. 6GB on a 32bit PAE kernel.READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: Cheap!
Cons: The constant nagging fear that the drive will fail soon.
Other Thoughts: Added this to an order as an impulse buy due to the low price. SMART has no complaints about the drive and a series of scans for bad blocks came up with nothing, so fingers are crossed! This drive will be used either to increase storage for non-important MythTV recordings, as a temporary scratch space, or for sneakernetting large files, so if it does die soon, no big loss.READ FULL REVIEW

Divalicious mobile app lets shoppers try apparel on images of themselves.
Bill Siwicki
Apparel retailers selling online face a number of obstacles, one of which is a customer's desire to see how she would look in a garment she's considering. Marketing and technology company Weyrich Enterprises thinks it has found a solution, today launching a mobile app, Divalicious, that lets shoppers upload a full-body image of themselves onto a virtual mannequin and place atop the image pictures of clothing from more than 300 fashion and beauty brands.
This is a basic form of the technology known as augmented reality, where a smartphone enables a consumer to change imagery, either static or live, through the lens of the smartphone's camera. Marketplace giant eBay Inc. offers a similar feature in its fashion mobile app.
"With this application, you no longer have to go to the stores to see what you would look like with a dress from BCBG, shoes from DSW and a handbag from Saks. The clothes are all in one place, not in three different stores," says Rich Kessler, chief technology officer at Weyrich Enterprises.
Weyrich has partnered with Sugar Inc. and its ShopStyle social shopping site to bring the app to life. ShopStyle aggregates products from more than 300 fashion and beauty brands and enables consumers, mainly young women, to browse and share products. Clicking on a product's Buy button sends the consumer to the e-commerce site of the retailer carrying that product.
Weyrich also has partnered directly with some brands. It displays products in the Divalicious app via links through product data feeds from ShopStyle and brands. The company earns a commission when a shopper clicks from a product page in the Divalicious app to a mobile-optimized product page hosted by the merchant, which is displayed within the app. A shopper completes the purchase with the merchant and then can return to any area of the app.
Merchants offering their products through Divalicious include American Eagle Outfitters Inc., Calvin Klein, Gap Inc., Guess? Inc., J. Crew Group Inc., Macy's Inc., Nike Inc., Nine West, Prada, Ralph Lauren Media LLC, Steve Madden, Sunglass Hut, The Timberland Co., Urban Outfitters Inc., Victoria's Secret, The Wet Seal Inc. and Zappos.
The app is available in Apple Inc.'s App Store for use on iPhone and iPod Touch devices.

A dream two years in the making was realised on Monday 11 February when Redfern Jarjum College, the first Jesuit school to be established in Australia in over 60 years, opened its doors to 24 Indigenous primary-aged children.
'It's actually pretty nice to be here', said Benjamin, an 11-year-old Year 4 student, as he ate his school-provided breakfast out in the spacious new courtyard. 'I can learn about things here. I'm mostly going to have fun and learn.'
Benjamin was the first student to enrol at Jarjum, a unique school aimed at nurturing Aboriginal children who are finding it difficult to flourish in mainstream schools. The idea for such a school was initiated by Ailsa Gillett, founder of Life for Koori Kids and a staff member at St Aloysius' College. Management, staff members, students and parents at St Aloysius' College and later St Ignatius' College, Riverview embraced Ailsa's suggestion so enthusiastically that in the space of just two years a location had been found, a principal appointed, and a whole community of supporters rallied.
To date, more than one million dollars has been raised for the project, with funding also received from the Catholic Block Grant Authority. Volunteers have helped with all manner of jobs, from helping to serve students' meals to unloading and cataloguing books; and the books themselves have been donated by schools like Oatley Public School, Ravenswood and Knox Grammar School. Jarjum Principal Beatrice Sheen says that the support from the broader Jesuit community, the public and the families of the students has been central to a successful school launch.
'We're now full, we've got a waiting list and we've already got children booked in for next year. I'm over the moon!'
While the idea for a niche, tuition-free school such as this is itself not new, the inner city location is. Jarjum is located in the heart of Redfern, where most of its students live. It occupies the former presbytery of St Vincent de Paul Parish, which was gifted to the Aboriginal people of Redfern by the late Fr Ted Kennedy and, damaged by fire, had stood derelict for more than two decades before being earmarked as a location for the newest Jesuit school. The structure was redesigned within the constraints of its heritage listing by St Aloysius old boy Peter Lonergan and Julie Cracknell of Cracknell and Lonergan Architects. It has been transformed into a bright, fresh, inspiring space, a fitting metaphor for the challenges that the school aims to overcome.
'It's taken two years to get to this stage so we have it renovated and ready to use', said Graeme Mundine, member of the school council. 'Education is so important for Aboriginal people into the future. The idea here is to connect students back to the idea of a formal education, for an interim period. Then they can hopefully step back into the mainstream and do well for themselves. We're looking at it as an alternative learning centre.'
And already the school has received the blessing of the locals. Community member Kathy Slater said that while elder Uncle Max Eulo had performed smoking ceremonies for Queen Elizabeth, Prince William, Oprah Winfrey and two popes, this was his most special ceremony by far.
'We've been waiting to do this for two years, and it's finally happened', she said. 'You can feel the good spirit in everything that's happened here.'

Indigenous ministry 40 years on

A world tour of beloved ground meat recipes from award-winning author James Villas
Ground meats are easily affordable and amazingly versatile—and common in almost every cuisine. Ground beef, pork, poultry, and seafood are staple ingredients across continents and cultures, but they've rarely been given the respect they deserve.
With favorites like the classic American hamburger and steak tartare, croquettes and crab cakes, From the Ground Up collects 200 recipes that span the globe, all presented with the passion and style that make James Villas one of the world's most admired food writers. Here, he pays loving tribute to this underappreciated culinary wonder, letting it take its rightful seat at the head of the table. With delectable dishes from far and wide, this fantastic collection is stuffed with inspiration.
- James Villas was the food and wine editor for Town & Country magazine for 27 years and is the author of Pig, The Bacon Cookbook, and The Glory of Southern Cooking
- Features 200 ground meat recipes from all over the world, including British meat pies, Jamaican patties, and American meatloafs and chilis
- The perfect cookbook for families, with affordable, tasty comfort foods galore
For home cooks looking for quick and delicious dinner solutions, From the Ground Up offers classic dishes the whole family will love.
Editorial Reviews
As any homemaker knows, Villas, the former food and wine editor for Town & Country magazine, drives home the point that once a food substance is ground up, there is very little that cannot be done with it. Here is a sweeping survey of 200 recipes, covering the highs and lows of minced chicken, beef, pork, and seafood. Villas employs dips, loaves, patties, casseroles, and sausages to create a multicultural mosaic that includes everything from gefilte fish to Scottish deviled kidney spread, from Russian salmon croquettes to Cincinnati chili. Along the way, some lost history is also unearthed. It turns out that the original Coney Island dog was actually a bun filled with chopped frankfurter, pickle, eggs, bacon, and sauerkraut, and that a truly authentic croques monsieur calls for the ham to be coarsely ground. Each two-page recipe starts off with a brief paragraph in which the author conveys some historical notes or serving suggestions. This is followed by a succinct ingredients list, and then the preparation instructions, which rarely consist of more than four or five steps. Like a fine batch of hamburger, the book itself is of uniform simplicity and composition throughout. (Oct.) (Publishers Weekly, June 2011)

From the Ground Up by James Villas features recipes using all kinds of ground or minced meats. If you are thinking this is a cookbook full of burgers and meatloaf think again! There are literally recipes from around the world including dumplings, turnovers, quiches and croquettes with a few comfortable favorites like chilis and meatballs through in. I was surprised by the number of fish and seafood recipes included. There are no pictures and the soft cover cookbook is pretty plain, but the recipes are easy to follow and he mentions substitutions making finding ingredients simpler. Below are the recipes I tried and what I thought of them. Spanish Chorizo- Stuffed Mushrooms - This is the best stuffed mushroom recipe I've tried! The salty, meaty sausage combined with the mushrooms make for an unami delight. This will become a regular appetizer at my parties. Greek Lamb, Raisin, and Pine Nut Spanakopitas - I liked the idea of this dish better than I liked the reality. The flavors didn't seem to go together very well and the phyllo was messy to work with. This is the one recipe I tried that I likely won't repeat. Maryland Deviled Crab - Very rich and not too spicy. This was a decadent way to start a fancy meal. I won't make this often, but when a need something rich and fancy to start, maybe New Years Eve, I'll make this again. Tex-Mex Sloppy Joes - Easy, healthier and tastier than average sloppy joes. I made these for kids and they were gobbled up. This recipe is perfect for a weeknight supper. Italian Proscuitto and Spinach Frittata - This was my favorite recipe from this cookbook. Delicious flavor combination, quick and easy to make, and I would be happy to eat it breakfast, lunch or dinner! This is a good cookbook for spicing up your regular routine!
Ground meats are about the most flexible foods around. There's just one problem: What do I do with it for dinner tonight? Actually, that's no longer a problem, with From the Ground Up. Author, James Villas -- a Food & Wine editor, renowned cookbook author and James Beard Award winner -- takes us around the world with ever-versatile ground meats, including beef, pork, chicken, turkey, veal, lamb, and even seafood (ceviche, anyone?). And when I say, "around the world", I mean it; the book really is a culinary voyage across the globe, in its 400 pages of mouth-watering recipes. For instance, in the first of eleven chapters, on Appetizers, Canapes, and Dips, the thirty two recipes range from Boston Clam Dip, to Greek Lamb, Raisin and Pine Nut Spanakopitas, back to Key West for Conch Fritters (yum!) to a Japanese Shrimp Spread with Sake, a French Country Pate, or Singapore Crabmeat and Peanut Toasts. Other chapters in From the Ground Up include Soups and Salads, Sandwiches and Turnovers, Patties, Balls and Dumplings, Pies, Quiches, and Souffles, Casseroles and Pastas, Hashes and Chilies, Sausage, Sauces and many more. I think you probably get the idea: without exaggeration, From the Ground Up is THE authoritative work on ground meat dishes of all kinds. Any recipe you've ever had -- or wanted to have -- with any type of ground meat is likely to be found here. And what's more, the recipes are the kind you will actually make, over and over again, with many sure to become family favorites. Now to get busy making Meatballs Stroganoff with that ground round in the fridge... My family is going to love it!

A personal review of:
Practical Kettlebell Training Volume 1
A 2-set DVD on kettlebell training. The first disc encompasses aspects such as the clean, the press, the jerk as well as stretching and warming up.
The second disc covers a variety of workouts which range from 5 minutes to 20 minutes and will permit a great session in a short time.
The following link goes into detail about the various aspects covered, so I wont repeat it here:
Practical Kettlebell Training Vol. 1 | London Kettlebells
The thing I really like about the DVD set is that they use a split screen format so that you see the exercise being performed both from the side and the front simultaneously all the way through along with the running commentary; I find that particularly helpful.
Theres only so much that can be learned from youtube and the DVDs are a great addition if you cannot get to an instructor, or simply wish to teach yourself in your own time.
This is a personal review of The Complete Guide to Kettlebell Lifting by Steve Cotter.
The 253 page book comes with a DVD which covers all the exercises in the book. The book itself is very high quality paper and from page 12 onwards, right up to page 253, every page has from around 4 to 6 high quality photos of the exercises being done one step at a time. Most exercises are covered on a page to view scenario with some taking as many as 4 pages, generally 1 -2 though. A total of 191 exercises.
Some exercise names:
1 arm 1 leg press: ipsilateral raise
Alternating seated snatch
Jump shrugs
^^Just to give you some idea of some exercises within the book.
The book sections exercises according to body part/muscle grouping, and also has an advanced section in which there is no specific muscle grouping given for the exercise in question.
An excellent book, with tips along the way, the minor things that make the difference to the lift.
Personal review of Extreme Kettlebell Workout
A 4-set DVD by Steve Cotter.
This is primarily about upper body workouts and warm-ups.
Primarily about lower body warm-ups and workouts.
There is a selection of abs and core workouts, consisting of 2 circuit workouts and 3 10-minute core workouts of which one is done standing.
3 workouts: 10 minutes, 20 minutes, and 58 minutes (from what I recall of the longest one).
Very good workouts, with a workout that Steve Cotter himself follows; if the others don't "kill" you, that one is sure to do so.
The one thing I did not like in the longest workout is that Steve Cotter makes use of 2-4 bosu's which many people, if not all people, will not have access to; this means that the couple of exercises that he does in that part of the workout are inaccessible to others, to a degree. But, other than that, still a very good workout and there would certainly be ways to work around the bosu "section" by doing the exercises without the bosu (some would work) or by replacing the exercises with something similar, or just incorporating another low intensity KB exercise in their place.
