Reproduction or retransmission of any materials, in whole or in part, in any manner, is not permitted. Catholic BLURT! Catholic BLURT! is based on the game Bible Blurt. For 3 Players or 4 Teams. Recommended for ages 8 and up. A fun and exciting way to review the Bible and the Catholic faith. When the Reader gives the Definition, blurt out the word you think it defines. There's no penalty for wrong answers. You can blurt as many times as you want until somebody gets the correct answer. If you're the first one to blurt the correct answer, move your pawn the number of spaces rolled by the Reader. If there's a tie, read another Definition. Only the players who tied can blurt. If you land on a square that's already occupied by another pawn, there's gonna be a Showdown! The two players on the square have a Definition read to them by another player. If you're first to blurt the correct word, you win the Showdown and may remain on the square. If you're not first, you have to go backward the amount of squares shown on the die. If you land on a square that matches the color of your pawn, this is your big chance to challenge another player and takeover his or her square! Place your pawn on the same square with the player you want to challenge. Play the same way as you would in a Showdown, except the winner remains on the lead square, and the loser has to go back to the square from which the challenger came. The first player or team to return to "Start," after going all the way around the Game Board, is the . . . WINNER! You don't have to land there by exact count. Coming soon! How Rude! (Good Manners Game) How Rude! is based on the game Blunders. For 2 Players or in Teams. Recommended for ages 8 and up. A fun and exciting way to review what is considered rude behavior in today's society. The game includes 6 types of interactive game cards: multiple choice, scenario, true/false, reward for good manners, charades, and consequences for bad manners. Players or teams roll the dice and move that many spaces on the board. Whichever color is on the space you land on indicates the color card that will be used. The player to your left will read the card aloud to you and you will try to answer correctly. If you answer your question correctly, you may stay where you are. If you are not correct, everyone says, "How Rude!" and you move back to where you were. The first player or team to get to the "FINISH," square first is the WINNER! Need: 336 Game Cards (56 of each color) Dice Game Board Pawns Introduction: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. What does this mean? It means we should treat others the same way you want them to treat you. That is easier said than done. Do you respect everyone and treat them kindly at all times? During our daily contact with others we can show compassion and generosity by treating them with respect and courtesy. This dignified and respectable behavior that we give to others is part of what Jesus was talking about. Try your best to treat others as you would like to be treated and you will find that it will help you so much in everyday life with getting along with others. Directions- Print out Directions.

It seems to return an empty string in both versions for me. Is there a particular browser that returns the incorrect value?
Are you serving up this document as application/xml+xhtml ? I wonder if that might cause it to return undefined, or whether it's significant that the markup has no value attribute.
comment:2 Changed 8 years ago by bdenosky
It is being served up as application/xml+xhtml.
If the alert is set to fire after information has been entered into the input field, that's when the error is produced in 1.3.1. In 1.2.6, the value inputted into the field is displayed.

Golden Hour Along the Gulf of Mexico
January 7, 2012 This shot was taken just after sundown somewhere along the Mississippi coast of the Gulf of Mexico. We had stopped to walk on the beautiful white-sand beaches and take some photos. Just as we left, we stopped at a nearby marina to put gas in the car and I couldn't resist taking this photo. Frame added in Picnik. I hope you enjoy this tranquil setting captured in this photo - it's going to be one of my favorites from our recent vacation. Check it out in X3 for all the color, reflections and details. Thanks for your comments!!! Have a fabulous weekend!!! Linda

Still waiting
Medical information on a victim of a recent road rage assault in Lake Oswego has still not been provided to the Lake Oswego Police Department, which is still waiting to officially charge a suspect in the case.
The victim was injured earlier this month after an altercation with another man at the intersection of Kingsgate Road and Melrose Street, which came after an alleged road rage incident.
The level of assault charge will likely be determined after the victim's medical condition is released.

Balancing work and life can be hard enough, but for Whangarei's Edward Baddeley that's just the start of it.
The 19-year-old is one to watch after being named in one of Rowing New Zealand's regional performance centres in Auckland.
A regional performance centre is best explained by Baddeley as: "Rowing's version of the Blues for rugby. In rowing [and rugby] you can get picked from there into what would be the All Blacks, except we don't get the big pay cheque."
Baddeley was selected about three months ago after being asked by Rowing New Zealand to trial as they begin their hunt for the new Mahe Drysdales, being put to the test across a three-day regatta where athletes were judged on performance and their likely further development.
Performance centres are generally tasked with developing athletes who can represent New Zealand at Rowing World Championships and the Olympic Games.
Since being given the nod, Baddeley has been training 12 times a week in Hobsonville, living away from home, and working almost full-time for Fulton Hogan.
Living only 500m from his training venue, Baddeley cycles to training every morning - except for his two sleep-in days on Thursday and Sunday - before doing either erg training or hitting the water for between 90 minutes and two hours.
"It [the changes in lifestyle] takes a lot of getting used to," said the former Boys' High student. "Luckily I've got my uncle down there who helped me get a job, but I'm enjoying where I am because it's not in the city so you don't get all the traffic."
Baddeley praised Fulton Hogan for their flexibility with training hours, saying it has helped with his transition to Auckland. "I start two hours after everyone else and finish at the same time so it's good," said Baddeley who works in the road maintenance crew.
Rowing is the only sport Baddeley has been attracted to since he was a child and learned to row a dinghy while on holiday with his family.
Now, six years after starting, Baddeley is living in an average west Auckland home and training in old Air Force barracks.
Baddeley's father, Nigel, who is also a coach with the Whangarei Rowing Club, said he was proud of where his son had taken his sport.
"He's quite methodical about things and, obviously, reasonably aggressive," said Nigel. "He's a hard worker; you have to be really because they row about 40km even before breakfast.
"It's a semi-elite squad he's in, [and] what they [Rowing New Zealand] do is keep them in there for two or three years and work through to world champ or elite status. So it's quite a step up."

The embattled team doctor for the San Diego Chargers has resigned, the team announced in a statement Thursday.
David Chao, who worked for the Chargers for 17 seasons, has been targeted by NFL Players Association executive director DeMaurice Smith, who said during Super Bowl week that Chao's record should be cause of him to be removed from his job with the team. An independent panel cleared Chao.
Chao, 49, has an extensive history of malpractice complaints from patients, including three who successfully sued him for awards that totaled $8.2 million.
The California state medical board also fined Chao for misconduct in 2002 and issued a public reprimand against him in June 2012 for failing to disclose a drunken-driving conviction. The state board is moving to suspend or revoke his medical license, citing gross negligence in his care of patients.
Chao "committed repeated negligent acts in his care and treatment," according to the board — an allegation the doctor has steadfastly denied.
Chao told the San Diego Union-Tribune in a phone interview that he was resigning to devote time to his wife and three children and to recover from a back injury that will require surgery this month.
He also said he has performed 204 surgeries on Chargers players in the past 10 years.
"I wouldn't trade it for the world," Chao said of his tenure with the Chargers. "Today is about thanking the Chargers for the time, thanking all the players and coaches for allowing me to enter their special world."
Christopher Wahl, chief of sports medicine at the UC San Diego Health System, was named Chao's replacement, according to the Union-Tribune.

BOSTON – The founder of a Rhode Island-based professional fundraising company has been ordered to pay $125,000 in civil penalties for using deceptive tactics while soliciting money for a veterans charity, Mass. Attorney General Martha Coakley announced last week.
According to a news release, a final judgment was entered last week in Suffolk Superior Court by Judge Heidi Brieger against Thomas Gity Jr., of Pompano Beach, Fla., founder of Rhode Island-based fundraiser, Dynamic Marketing Solutions Inc. Under the judgment, Gity was ordered to pay $125,000 in civil penalties for engaging in deceptive practices and statutory violations while conducting charitable solicitations for Bay State Vietnam Veterans Inc., a Somerset-based charity.
In August 2012, a preliminary injunction was obtained in conjunction with a lawsuit filed by the AG's office against Bay State, Dynamic, Gity and Dynamic's president, John Chaves, of Warren. Last week, Coakley's office was granted a final judgment and assessment of damages against Gity for his failure to comply with the terms of the preliminary injunction and failure to file any pleadings in the matter.
According to the complaint filed in August 2012, the AG's office alleges Dynamic, hired by Bay State to raise funds, deceived potential donors by falsely stating that 100 percent of their donations would benefit veterans. In fact, 15 percent of the solicited funds went to support veterans and 85 percent of the funds went back to Dynamic for its fundraising services. •

Gorgeous photograph. I love the depth of field..


text: On any stage after you complete a song, you will have the option to make a music video. You then get the option to edit with effects. One symbol has pair of 3-D glasses. Select them and continue editing your song. When you watch the song at the part with the 3-D glasses, it will have the symbol in the corner of the screen. Pause the music video there and put on real 3-D glasses, that scene will appear in 3-D.

I was thinking that the end of daylight savings in New Zealand this weekend would cause a struggle for my blog (less sunshine hours to shoot pictures in after work) but instead I discovered today that after work has become the perfect time to shoot. With the sun going down and the soft twilight glow filling the sky, my pictures have the lost the harshness that comes when shooting in bright, direct sunlight.
So here's to Autumn! Not only has daylight savings ended for now, but also there's a little more crispness in the air and I'm enjoying adding more layers to my wardrobe, putting soups back on the menu and pulling the winter pj's back out of the wardrobe. Bliss ♥

Excessive sweating, or hyperhidrosis, is the condition characterized by increased perspiration beyond what is normal for temperature regulation, (it is normal to sweat from exercise or heavy exertion). Hyperhidrosis can affect any body area, but is more common in the underarms (arms pits), feet, palms, and face. Experiencing excessive sweating can be embarrassing and interfere with normal daily activities, both socially and professionally.
Sweating is normal and experienced by all people as a physiologic response to physical exertion or an emotional response to stress. Sweating is caused by secretions of glands on the body called "eccrine glands." The etiology of excessive focal sweating is not known, but it may relate to sympathetic over activity.
Excessive sweating is not easy to differentiate from the normal occurrence. The fundamental definition of excessive sweating is when it goes from being normal to causing you distress. Sweating is categorized in three major types.
Localized sweating – also known as primary focal hyperhidrosis, this condition affects the feet, hands, groin, face and especially the armpits of 1 to 3 percent of the population. Symptoms occur on both sides or can be uneven. Although it is a medical condition, this type of sweating is not a disease or related to drug reaction.
Generalized sweating – a rare type of hyperhidrosis, this case causes diffuse sweating all over the body and tends to be more medically serious. It may also be caused by an underlying medical condition unknown by the sufferer such as diabetes, thyroid problems, alcoholism, tuberculosis, rheumatoid arthritis or heart failure. Symptoms of secondary hyperhidrosis are excessive sweating at night.
Although it is not life threatening, hyperhidrosis is definitely embarrassing and makes life difficult. Many individuals with this condition tend to avoid socialization particularly the handshake or close intimate contact with others.
Although there is no cure for primary hyperhidrosis, there are treatments you can do to slow down or control your heavy sweating.
Can you tell me more about Botox Treatment for excessive sweating?
Botulinum toxin type A (Botox) is a medication that is injected under the skin below the dermis to reduce sweating. Botox works by being absorbed by the nerve cells and blocking neurotransmitters that encourage sweat production.
Yes, Botox is a safe medication that has been on the market for over 20 years.
What areas can I have Botox injected into for hyperhirdosis?
Botox works great for axillary (arm pit) hyperhidrosis. It is injected at 15-20 sites in the underarm. A decrease in sweating is noted starting about 2 weeks after the injections. Botox injections work excellent to treat the palms, soles and facial areas that can be affected by increased sweating.
The reduction in sweating lasts for about 6 months after Botox treatment for hyperhydrosis. So, most patients have the treatment done twice per year.
A tiny needle is inserted when using Botox for hyperhidrosis, so there is only minimal pain involved.
Most insurance do not cover Botox injections for excessive sweating. The cost per treatment is $1200.

A new blend of Camel cigarettes. Very light taste, with a mellow mint flavor. Not likely to last long, as they're really entering a niche market of the overall cigarette industry. Interesting flavor. Very attractive packaging. If there was a way to market this product outside of "purchase it and find out", as most cigarette smokers are almost religious about brand choice, they might be popular.

In the living room, a quartet of vintage armchairs—by Ib Kofod-Larsen, foreground, and George Nakashima, rear—are gathered near a 1960s French fireplace by Focus. The twin side tables are by Paul McCobb, the fireplace wall is of stacked quartzite, and the ceiling and floor are sheathed in bleached hardwood. Harvey Probber cane-back chairs from the '60s in the living room. The dining room, with vintage pendant lights, a Jorge Zalszupin table, and Hans J. Wegner chairs. A polished-concrete floor and a La Cornue cooktop offset the kitchen's earthy wood. Shelves built above the cinema room's windows outline the perimeter of a sunken seating area. A raised doorway in the family room gives a stairwell a surreal touch. Complementing Afonso Tostes's tree sculpture, left, in the master bedroom are a globe lamp by Max Bill, a Carlo Hauner chair, and a T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings tripod lamp. The mirror frames in the master bath are made of antique horse mangers. CP1 sconces by Charlotte Perriand dot the wall above the vintage tub. Jack, a Brazilian terrier, is at home in one of the garden rooms, where vintage iron-wire chairs are pulled up to a florist's worktable. The swimming pool features a chemical-free filtration system, utilizing a separate regeneration area filled with aquatic plants and fish for water purification; the poolside lounges are Willy Guhl cement Loop chairs. Weinfeld designed the house as a village of independent rooms linked by passageways. The elevation above shows what a visitor can't readily envision: how the volumes relate to one another.

Captain Jon-Luke Dee knows his team is for real. Goaltender John Richard is right there with him. Coach Dan Shine, in all his wisdom after three-plus decades at the helm, is hesitant to shoot as high as the players are — a Super 8 bid — but shares the sentiment nonetheless.
This Arlington Catholic boys' hockey team firmly believes that it can compete with the best teams in the state and make a big jump after three generally unspectacular seasons.
The Cougars, at 5-0-1, are off to their best start since any of the players reached high school. The lone non-win came in a 3-3 tie Saturday against rival Austin Prep at Stoneham Arena — a game AC led most of the way.
The difference this year, Shine says, is the team's depth.

I know we'll get given a card and all the photos are linked to it, but then how do we get the photos printed out?
You have to order the prints from Disney or order the CD. I think you can buy both at the parks but I have never done that. I buy from the website www.DisneyPhotoPass.com
If you buy the cd you can order borders, logos & character signatures to the photo's aswell. You also 'own' the pictures so can have them printed out from the cd aswell.

2013 Toyota Avalon Review
This car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.All-new version delivers passion in a big sedan.
The Toyota Avalon has been completely redesigned for the 2013 model year. We thought the previous-generation Avalon (2005-2012 models) was commendable for its smooth ride and easy operability. The all-new 2013 Avalon builds on this, offering more responsive handling while maintaining excellent ride quality. A smooth, powerful V6 engine comes standard, while a hybrid gas-electric powertrain is optional for better fuel economy and extremely low emissions. But what makes the Avalon great is that it's so easy to operate, a refreshing trait in a world of complicated, vexing cars and gadgets. The interior is comfortable and attractive, with leather standard. We found it very easy to live with the all-new 2013 Avalon.
For a brand long known for its high quality and plain vanilla design, Toyota sent shock waves through the industry when it first displayed the all-new Avalon. When compared to the latest-generation Camry midsize sedan, the 2013 Avalon full-size sedan looks like it came from another company entirely. But the 2013 Avalon is precisely what Toyota's top executive, President Akio Toyoda, the grandson of the company's founder, had in mind when he promised to pump new passion into the brand.
The 2013 Avalon is visually striking, with the sort of cutting-edge styling you might expect from the latest Ford or Hyundai, or even Mercedes-Benz. The new design clearly gives the new Toyota a much more expensive look and feel.
The overall look of the 2013 Toyota Avalon is more muscular and refined than the old, lumpen box, with a coupe-like roofline that is somewhat reminiscent of the striking Audi A7. The interior, meanwhile, boasts an almost luxury-class level of refinement, with upgraded leather that is now being hand-stitched to deliver a visual sense of craftsmanship. The large touchscreen adapts the latest version of Toyota's EnTune infotainment system and the LCD screen atop the center stack replaces most traditional knobs and buttons. The rest migrate to a capacitive system that can be operated with barely a touch.
The redesigned 2013 Avalon is available with two distinct powertrain options, the most popular of which is likely to be the 3.5-liter, 90-degree, DOHC, six-cylinder engine with Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence that produces 268 horsepower at 6200 rpm and 248 pound-feet of torque. The 3.5-liter V6 delivers surprisingly good fuel economy considering the size of the new Avalon sedan and the power it pumps out. We found it smooth and powerful. Toyota says the Avalon with the 3.5-liter V6 can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 6.7 seconds, which is quite quick.
Those who want to maximize mileage will be drawn to the Avalon hybrid models, which use the latest iteration of the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive and are expected to get up to 40 miles per gallon. That's impressive for a full-size sedan, and all the more impressive considering the minimal sacrifice in performance. The 2013 Toyota Avalon Hybrid is estimated to launch from 0 to 60 mph in around 8 seconds, which is average acceleration performance. The 2013 Avalon is the first full-size Toyota sedan to offer a hybrid gas-electric powertrain.
The 2013 Toyota Avalon is produced at Toyota's plant in Georgetown, Kentucky. The new Toyota sedan is, in fact, the most American car the Japanese maker has ever offered, the design work being handled by Toyota's advanced styling studio in Southern California, while the primary engineering work was done in suburban Detroit.
The 2013 Toyota Avalon comes in XLE and Limited grades and several sub-trim levels. Avalon XLE ($30,990) comes standard with heated, leather front seats, eight-way power driver's seat, four-way power front-passenger seat, 6.1-inch touch-screen display, two-door Smart Key, heated mirrors, mirror turn signals, 17-inch alloy wheels. Avalon XLE Premium ($33,195) adds a rearview camera and moonroof, three-door Smart Key, auto-dimming mirror with compass, garage door opener, three-button Eco Switch. Avalon XLE Touring ($35,500) includes fog lamps, 18-inch alloy wheels, blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, navigation system, paddle shifters and EnTune Display Audio.
Avalon Limited ($39,650) upgrades further with premium perforated leather heated and cooled front seats, 10-way power driver's seat, eight-way power front-passenger seat, heated rear seats, three-zone climate control, 7-inch high-resolution touch-screen audio, with navigation, Entune and JBL, JBL Premium HDD audio, color HVAC screen, Safety Connect, rain-sensing wipers, rear sunshade, HID headlamps, LED Daytime Running Lights, puddle lamps, ambient lighting, auto-dimming outside mirrors.
Avalon Hybrid XLE Premium ($35,555), Avalon Hybrid XLE Touring ($37,250), and Avalon Limited ($41,400) are similarly equipped. (All prices are Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Prices and do not include $795 destination charge.)
The optional Technology Package ($1,750) for Avalon Limited and Hybrid models adds Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, automatic high beams, and Pre-Collision System.
Safety features standard on all Avalon models include Toyota's Star Safety System, 10 airbags, whiplash-lessening seats, three-point seatbelts, LATCH child-seat anchors, child-protector door locks, anti-theft system with alarm and engine immobilizer. Optional safety features include Safety Connect, Pre-Collision System, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
The 2013 Toyota Avalon has a wider, more aggressive stance than the outgoing sedan, there's a sense of kinetic energy that we can't ever recall seeing in a Toyota sedan especially one this big. The overall feel is one of a slightly more compact and taut vehicle, perhaps reflecting the fact that its overall height has been lowered an inch, with the overhangs shortened 0.6 inches up front and 1.8 inches in the rear.
Nowhere is the new look more obvious than up front, where the Avalon's new face bears more than a subtle similarity to the latest-generation Ford Fusion, itself strongly influenced by ultra-luxury sports car maker Aston Martin. That Ford/Aston trapezoid grille is framed, at top by wraparound Quadrabeam projector headlamps, below by distinctive new foglamps.
This is the fourth generation of the Avalon. The soft, almost flabby look of the outgoing model (pre-2013) has been replaced by a tautly sculpted body, character lines stretching through the hood and from just behind the front wheels to the tips of the taillights. Toyota designers worked in half-windows at the back of the sloping roof to give rear seat passengers and even broader view of the world passing by. That underscores the way Toyota has attempted to make form and function equal partners in the new Avalon.
With some coupe-like sedans, there's a distinct trade-off in functionality, but the 2013 Avalon's 111-inch wheelbase allowed designers to sculpt a curvaceous exterior and still provide a surprising amount of head, leg, hip and elbow room, front and back. Headroom in the front seats is 38.5 inches, or 37.6 inches with the optional moonroof.
And there's little excuse for rear seat passengers not to stretch out and relax.
Front and back, the 2013 Toyota Avalon is a far more lavishly outfitted sedan than the model it replaces. With one notable exception, Toyota has largely abandoned the cheap plastic panels that have drawn criticism in other recent models, including the latest generation of the Camry.
We're tempted to describe the layout from the pilot's perspective as almost cockpit-like. Toyota designers and engineers have worked well together to bring all that the driver might need to see or touch into just the right position, including that large touchscreen used for the EnTune infotainment system. As you'd expect, it is the anchor of basic systems like navigation, audio and Bluetooth calling. It also allows ready access to smartphone-based apps such as Pandora, Bing, iHeartRadio, and services like fuel pricing, stock reports, traffic and weather data. Meanwhile, a second, capacitive-touch screen operating the climate control system. But you don't have to mess with all that. The navigation system is optional and can be avoided altogether. If you don't opt for navigation, the screen remains, for operating the radio and other features. Nighttime or daytime, the screen delivers a big, crisp image of what's behind you whenever you shift into Reverse.
The Avalon adopts the sort of elegant and subtle ambient lighting cues we've until recently expected only on mid to upper-range luxury vehicles. And that carefully stitched leather further adds to upscale feel. We think Toyota could have done a better job with the wood trim, however, which looks too much like plastic.
Cargo capacity is good: 16 cubic feet of trunk space, 14.4 cubic feet for Avalon Hybrid models. Folding down the back seats provides more cargo space and room for longer items.
Driving Impression
We got our first chance to drive the 2013 Avalon in its various configurations during an advanced drive at Toyota's suburban Detroit test track. The experience revealed the new Avalon to be a significant improvement from the soft and mushy boulevard cruiser that defined prior generations of the Avalon.
Toyota took significant steps to firm things up. Among them: more braces and welds to increase chassis rigidity. A rigid chassis is a key element both for sharp handling response and a smooth ride. This allowed more precise tuning of the suspension. Suspension changes include new stabilizer bars and new spring rates. Toyota used MacPherson struts up front and a multi-link suspension in the rear. Shedding about 100 pounds of mass also helped.
Body roll (lean) has been largely kept under control. Meanwhile, there's virtually no torque steer on this front-driver, even under the most aggressive launches. Torque steer is the tendency of the front wheels to turn under hard acceleration, felt as a tug on the steering wheel; stand on the accelerator, and the new Avalon takes off in a straight line.
The electric power-assisted steering system errs towards a little too much boost, though it tightens up, if artificially, in Sport mode. One disappointment was the decision not to allow the driver to further stiffen the suspension when shifting into Sport mode on the Touring and Limited grades. The electronic system only modifies throttle, steering and gear shifts to improve overall responsiveness. We'd have liked to add still more tautness to the suspension, as well. But kudos for adding Dynamic Rev Management, which is particularly useful with paddle-shift-equipped models (Touring and Limited editions).
At 268 horsepower, the 3.5-liter V6 provides more than adequate, if not neck-snapping, power. It's mated to a 6-speed automatic. That's a couple gears short of other full-size offerings but we doubt many will notice considering that shifts are almost completely transparent and there's little sense of hunting even aggressive driving.
At an EPA-estimated 21/31 mpg City/Highway, or 25 mpg Combined, the 2013 Toyota Avalon provides a significant improvement for what you might have imagined getting from a full-side sedan just a few years ago. Regular 87-octane gasoline is recommended, no Premium fuel required here.
Even more impressive is the first-ever Avalon Hybrid, rated at 40 mpg City, 39 mpg Highway and 40 mpg Combined. Those are numbers you might have longed for with a subcompact when the last-generation Avalon hit market.
The Avalon Hybrid package teams a four-cylinder engine with a pair of electric motors using essentially the same Toyota Synergy Hybrid drive found in the latest version of the Camry. It's about a second-and-a-half slower than the V6 Avalon from 0-60 mph but it still delivers enough power to feel confident passing or getting onto a freeway.
Avalon Hybrid's 2.5-liter inline-4, for the technically minded, uses the fuel-saving Atkinson Cycle and itself develops 156 horsepower and 156 pound-feet of torque. The electric motor brings that up to an even 200 hp. Toyota claims the Avalon can operate on battery power alone. But this is no plug-in. You'll be lucky to get a full mile if the battery is fully charged. While the Avalon Hybrid can technically operate in electric mode at speeds up to 25 mph, that's rare. It'll usually fire the four-cylinder engine up well before then, especially if you've got a heavy throttle foot. A neat trick with the Hybrid is the ability to maintain climate control even when the gas engine is shut off.
The all-new Toyota Avalon brings fresh design in an easy to operate large sedan. The new Avalon XLE adds some desirable new features at a discount of several thousand dollars over the previous version. Handling is much improved for a taut feel, while excellent ride quality is maintained. The standard 3.5-liter V6 is smooth and powerful, while a new hybrid-electric offers an EPA-estimated 40/39 mpg City/Highway. The new Avalon is an easy car to live with and an easy car to own.
Paul Eisenstein filed this NewCarTestDrive.com report after his test drive of the Avalon in Detroit.

HIBERNATE the persistent object loading strategy.
Delay load, that is, when it is used to load. This can increase the number of properties.
Hibernate's lazy loading a HibernateSession used to manage the session, its logic is once every database operation, on opening the new session, immediately after the operation to close the session. This advantage is strictly closed session, to avoid the rookie-level error, but hibernate.org is not recommended. Because it is not suitable for lazy loading, are not suitable for cross-method affairs.
For example, in our applications, user-> post the formation of one to many mapping, User has a post that contains the List.
In the User, there are several attributes: name, password, phone, etc., and a List type of posts. When we use the lazy laoding posts when, hibernate will be when the User object, only to return name, password, phone and other basic properties, the time when you visit the posts, it will extract the posts from the database necessary data, the so-called lazy laoding. But in our system, session are immediately closed, that is, read the name, password, phone, etc. After the basic attributes, session has been close, and then there will be exceptions for lazy loading.
The solution is to close session before, calling Hibernate.initialize (user.getPosts ()), tell the system, user.getPosts () is the need lazy laoding's. But doing so would undermine HibernateSession class package.
Later, using the so-called OpenSessionInView mode, the session of the cycle to the servlet filter to manage, every time a request came in, it opens a session, response and then close it after, so that session can exist in the request cycle.
Hibernate lazy in Lazy
Hibernate the one-to-one and many-to-one in the query's father side lazy problem
Hibernate3 lazy in the association have this property, if Hibernate2, should be set outer-join = "false", then the associated object, that place in the class setting lazy = "true". First of all, for many-to-one in problem, you can end the class labels in his father set lazy to solve, so that the query son, does not send extra sql.
For one-to-one, in hibernate2 which, as one-to-one option which is not lazy, so only by setting outer-join = "false" to solve. The hibernate3 has joined the lazy, so it will not have this problem.
Overall, if you find that you check the time his son has extra sql to send, it must be a misuse of your hibernate ..
In hibernate in one-to-many, many-to-one, many-to-many, in order to improve efficiency, we generally use lazy mechanism, but use the spring of getHibernateTemplate (). Save (Object) when, HibernateTemplate attempt execute each time to get before the Session, the implementation of End to strive to close the Session. That is Hibernate's Lazy initialization 1: n relationship, you must ensure that in the same Session set for internal use this relationship, or Hiernate throws Failed to lazily initialize a collection - no session or session was closed exception.
Hibernate objects in the association (association) of the set is not enough flexible and practical application in some places need to lazy load, in some places they do not, in fact, where there is no need to use association. In Hibernate, mapping files can only be set in a way, applications like ours, I am afraid to use the open session in view of (slower is better than living lock), can only either do not set association or is lazy = true to. Classification of information previously only used a many to one relationship, the price can be put up, but now more and more complicated relationship, and then add a few words, to pay performance, bandwidth, the price probably will not be ignored, Even with a little cache to improve performance, the waste of bandwidth is also unforgivable.
Hibernate lazy initialization error is the use of development projects in the most common mistakes. If a class or a set of configuration of the delay in search strategy, you must when the proxy class instance or a collection agency in the persistent state (that is in Session range) time to initialize it. If the free state when the initialization it will have delay initialization error.
The following documents to Customer.hbm.xml <class> element lazy attribute set to true, that the use of delayed retrieval strategy:
<class name="mypack.Customer" table="CUSTOMERS" lazy="true">
When the Executive Session of the load () method, Hibernate will not execute the query immediately CUSTOMERS table select statement, only the Customer class to return an instance of the proxy class, the proxy class with the following characteristics:
(1) from Hibernate dynamically generated at run time, it extends the Customer class Customer class so it inherits all the properties and methods, but its implementation is transparent to applications.
(2) When Hibernate creates a proxy class instance of Customer, just initialize its OID attributes, and other properties are null, so this proxy class instance take up very little memory.
(3) When the application first visit to the Customer Agent class instances (for example, call customer.getXXX () or customer.setXXX () method), Hibernate will initialize the proxy class instance, in the initialization process of implementation of the select statement, the real from the database load Customer object all the data. However, an exception, that is when the application to access Customer proxy class instance getId () method, Hibernate does not initialize the proxy class instance, because in creating the proxy class instance of OID on the existence, not to the database to query .
Tip: Hibernate uses CGLIB tool to generate the persistent classes of the proxy class. CGLIB is a powerful Java byte code generation tool, it can run dynamically generated extend Java classes or implement Java interfaces of the proxy class. About CGLIB-more knowledge, please refer to: http://cglib.sourceforge.net/.
The following code to pass Session of the load () method to load the Customer object, then access it in the name attribute:
tx = session.beginTransaction ();
Customer customer = (Customer) session.load (Customer.class, new Long (1));
customer.getName ();
tx.commit ();
Running session.load () method, Hibernate does not execute any select statement, only to return Customer class, proxy class instance, its OID is 1, which is the load () method of the second parameter specified. When an application calls customer.getName () method, Hibernate will initialize the Customer agent class instance, from the database load Customer object data, perform the following select statement:
select * from CUSTOMERS where
select * from ORDERS where CUSTOMER_ID = 1;
When <class> element lazy attribute to true, will affect the Session of the load () method of the various run-time behavior, the following example.
1. If the load of the Customer object in the database does not exist, Session of the load () method does not throw an exception, only when running customer.getName () method will throw the following exception:
ERROR LazyInitializer: 63-Exception initializing proxy
net.sf.hibernate.ObjectNotFoundException: No row with thegiven identifier exists: 1, of class:
2. If the Session context, the application has not visited the Customer object, then the Customer agent instance of the class has not been initialized, Hibernate will not execute any select statement. The following code is trying to close the Session to visit Customer free object:
tx = session.beginTransaction ();
Customer customer = (Customer) session.load (Customer.class, new Long (1));
tx.commit ();
session.close ();
customer.getName ();
As the reference variable customer references Customer proxy instance of the class in Session range has not been initialized, and therefore customer.getName () method, Hibernate will throw the following exception:
ERROR LazyInitializer: 63-Exception initializing proxy
net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException: Could not initialize proxy - the owning Session was closed
Thus, Customer proxy instance of the class only in the current Session context to be initialized.
3. net.sf.hibernate.Hibernate class initialize () static method is used in the Session context explicitly initialize the proxy class instance, isInitialized () method is used to determine the proxy class instance is already initialized. For example:
tx = session.beginTransaction ();
Customer customer = (Customer) session.load (Customer.class, new Long (1));
if (! Hibernate.isInitialized (customer))
Hibernate.initialize (customer);
tx.commit ();
session.close ();
customer.getName ();
The above code in the Session context through Hibernate class initialize () method explicitly initialize the Customer agent class instance, so when the Session closed, you can normally visit the Customer free object.
4. When an application to access the proxy class instance getId () method will not trigger Hibernate initialize proxy class instances, such as:
tx = session.beginTransaction ();
Customer customer = (Customer) session.load (Customer.class, new Long (1));
customer.getId ();
tx.commit ();
session.close ();
customer.getName ();
When an application to access customer.getId () method, the method directly returns Customer proxy class instance of OID values, without querying the database. As the reference variable customer is always cited is not initialized Customer proxy class instance, so when the Session closed after the implementation of the customer.getName () method, Hibernate throws the following exception:
ERROR LazyInitializer: 63-Exception initializing proxy
net.sf.hibernate.HibernateException: Could not initialize proxy - the owning Session was closed
Because hibernate using lazy = true, so that when you use hibernate query, returns the actual for the use of cglib enhanced proxy class, but not actually filled; when you front-end, using it to value (getXXX), the time Hibernate only to the database execute the query, and populate the object, but at this time if and the proxy class associated session has been closed off, it will produce kinds of errors.
Doing one to many, sometimes appears "could not initialize proxy - clothe owning Session was sed, this seems to hibernate cache issue. Problem-solving: the need <many-to-one> in setting lazy =" false ". But may trigger another exception called
failed to lazily initialize a collection of role: XXXXXXXX, no session or session was closed
Solution: In the web.xml adding OpenSessionInViewFilter

One of the greatest joys of suburbia is the big green playground in our back yard–which makes not having decent sushi down the block almost worth it. But it bums me out that there are loads of kids who can't just walk to a great place to play because there are no safe playgrounds nearby. How else will kids learn how to play Four Square or how to jump from a high swing if we adults don't step in to help?
Interested in hosting your own Play Day? Then check out their website for how to get started and hopefully lure some kids away from the couch and computer screen. Even my suburban kids could use that. –Christina
build up the database of childhood game ideas on the KaBOOM! Play Day website. They just may include your
idea on their Play Day site of ideas so kids from all over the country
can benefit.
Plus…host a Play Day in your own neighborhood playground from September 18-26 and be part of KaBOOM's national celebration presented by Mott's. Just list your Play Day on KaBOOM's Play Day planner. While on the site, you'll find ideas for games and activities, as well as ways you can apply for grants to improve the state of your playground.
