There were no human casualties, but a 104-inch long pygmy sperm whale did wash up on Airport Road in Cedar Key, Police Chief Virgil Sandlin confirmed. He said it was dead on arrival.
The whale was taken away by the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission officers for an autopsy.
The only other reported casualty was an injury to a Florida Highway Patrol trooper who was helping with tree removal operations along State Road 121 and County Road 326. Her injury was not life threatening.
The first order of actual business for the Levy County Commission on Tuesday was ratifying the declaration of an emergency that was signed on Wednesday, Aug. 31, by County Commission Chair John Meeks. It was unanimously ratified by the commission.
Then the board went on to approve hearing a non-agenda item on extending the order another seven days. When asked why it was not being extended a full 14 days, County Attorney Anne Bast Brown said that is the limit by the state.
When Hurricane Hermine washed ashore in North Florida the counter clockwise winds were in the middle of doing its worst to Levy County.
But we should have expected it, some joked, because The Weather Channel's best known hurricane hunter, Jim Cantore, had arrived the day before to do live shots of the wind and water.
Cantore left town by mid-day Thursday, just as the winds and rains started.
First a drizzle, then buckets of rain. The cooling breeze turned into a howl that hit buildings like a rock.
Today, Sept. 8
Levy Commission TRIM meeting
The Levy County Commission will hold its TRIM — Truth in Millage — public hearing on Thursday, Sept. 8 ay 6 p.m. in the County Commission Meeting Room. This is the final meeting for setting the property tax millage for the coming year. The millage has tentatively been set at 9 mills, It is currently 8.2741 mills. This is a public hearing at which the public can comment on the proposed millage and the almost $63 million county budget.
WWII veterans meeting
Levy County Emergency Management wants to warn the residents of Levy County to be on the lookout for people attempting to scam residents that have been affected by Hurricane Hermine.
There have been reports in surrounding counties of people offering to assist with FEMA claims for a fee. Please do not fall for this. FEMA has not opened the claim period as of yet, and even when they do, they will not require any other person or entity to assist with filing the claim.
The two most affected areas impacted by Hurricane Hermine in Levy County are Cedar Key and Yankeetown. The residents and businesses in this community need volunteers who are able to offer their "muscle." Heavy lifting and the physical labor associated with removing substantial debris seem to be the most problematic in their towns. Anyone wishing to assist in Cedar Key is asked to go to the Cedar Key Fire Station located at the intersection of Dock Street and First.
When Central Florida Electric Cooperative employee Dusty Aldridge was asked by a curious local along the side of State Road 320 about the extent of the power outages in the area, the longtime utility repairman's answer was short and to the point.
"There's a bunch of 'em," he said.
At lunchtime on Friday, there were 7,571 outages in Levy County, according to CFEC Communications Specialist Whitney McQueen, and 16,085 locations without power in the Tri-County area.
Some things gleaned from the morning conference call:
"It could have been much worse. There was no loss of life," said Levy County Commission Chair John Meeks of Bronson.
That sums it up as emergency management and county agencies set about helping residents recover from the effects of Hurricane Hermine.
• The storm surge did not reach 11 feet, but it was measured at 8.5feet above mean sea level. Cedar Key is still experiencing flooding problems and entry is only being allowed to residents and recovery workers.
Levy County Department of Public Safety has notified Emergency Management they have suspended their responses for emergency calls to Cedar Key and the area west of CR 347 north to the entrance of the Lower Suwannee refuge .
This is due to deteriorating conditions making it unsafe for emergency crews.

Forevergreen + Msdressy Review
______Feast your eyes upon this ever most charming gown which I recently received from Msdressy, my fair people. No, seriously, check it out. That quality. That sheen. That subtle beauty and elegance. I am a forest fairy, floating ever so gracefully through the, uh, my driveway. Shhh, no, you must imagine the dense and misty surrounding forest. You must believe.
______Anyway, a little bit about the lovely company that was ever so kind to offer me this pretty dress in exchange for a review. Msdressy is a website that offers discounted prom, wedding, and formal dresses, all which can be customized to either a standard or custom size and also in your color of choice. I chose this pretty little number in a deep, dark green and had it custom sized. When it arrived, I was pleased to discover that it fit just perfectly, so very perfectly!
______I really like how this strapless dress actually manages to stay up no matter what. This dress has a stretchy custom fit built-in bra thing going on behind the scenes to keep the dress in place at all times. I can jump and dance about and this dress won't fall down. It's kind of incredible. I also adore the detailing, primarily the sweetheart neckline ruffles and the little sleeve drape; it adds a subtle amount of Roman-esque feel, no? I feel like a pretty princess wearing this... and that, my friends, is the best thing that a dress can do for you!

Yeah well when I'm gettin' all dem beezies with my funky flava lime zebra print suit we'll see who's laughing. Oh and yes I wear my mum's necklace, it's a vintage topaz on a leather 'chain', I think it's relatively unisex. Mm, I can understand people thinking of me as an utter moron for thinking anything positive about that horrendous lime zebra outfit, but I still think that lime/zebra print could work in a completely different context, reminds me of Bernard Wilhelm's latest collection, particularly this look. I've also recently looked at Junya's latest offerings at Chiodo and well the way he uses colour is quite original and beautiful (was looking at the crinkled sweaters/cardigans), despite being somewhat unusual - e.g: bright blue and sandpaper brown stripes.

Northwestern Mutual Promotes Former IT Exec to President
Northwestern Mutual has named Greg Oberland president in a move that brings marketing, sales and agency responsibility under one function. The insurer plans to grow its field force and improve financial security for clients.
Oberland is currently EVP of products, sales and marketing at Northwestern. He joined the company as an attorney in 1982 and transferred to the business side five years later, where he has had increasing executive-level responsibility for various product lines and operational areas including Life Underwriting, Policyowner Services, Disability Income Insurance and Information Systems.
[ Claims Departments Focused on Customer Retention: Survey. ]
"Greg is a respected leader who has done a phenomenal job bringing our planning and sales processes and product strategies together," says John Schlifske, Northwestern Mutual chairman and CEO, in a statement. "He also has earlier experience aligning large complex groups in various parts of the organization with company strategy. Now we want to draw from his talent as a corporate leader to build on that and make the connections among agencies, sales and marketing even tighter."

State-Lake Theater
190 N. State Street,
28 people favorited this theater
Built in 1919 as a vaudeville house for the Orpheum circuit, the State-Lake Theater opened on March 17, 1919 with Trixie Friganza topping the bill. It later became the major venue for the RKO theater chain in Chicago (along with the Palace Theatre on Randolph Street). The theater is named for its location on the corner of State Street and Lake Street, across the street from the State and Lake "El" Station.
It was built a couple years before the Chicago Theatre, which sits just across the street from the State-Lake Theater, by the same architects, Rapp & Rapp, who designed it in a similar style as the French Renaissance style Chicago, though the State-Lake Theater was nowhere near as grandiose as its cousin across the street. The theater became part of the Balaban & Katz chain in 1938, which continued a policy of live acts and movies until 1941, when the State-Lake Theater switched to movies-only.
After closing in 1985, the State-Lake Theater's interior was gutted and converted into studios and offices for the ABC network's Chicago affiliate, WLS-TV.
The exterior was restored to it's 1920s appearance (except for its marquee and ticket booth) and is still quite an impressive bookend to the Chicago Theatre across State Street.

Hi all, I hope you can help out here.
When "DR. NO" opened at the State Lake in 1963, was it a first run exclusive at the theater? Or was it released in a showcase / saturation style across Chicago?
It opened exclusively at the State-Lake through June 26, then went wide the next week.

Health Freedom Resources
Do to faulty digestion and the use of hard water, the walls of arteries, veins, and capillaries become coated with inorganic waste materials. This waste forms a lining that does not allow the cell structure of the veins and arteries to be fed properly, so these originally soft pliable tissues become hard and lose their elasticity. Then, like an "old" rubber hose, they cannot expand or contract with ease and they become, through weakness, ballooned out, or brittle and then break, as in varicosity. The heavy use of breads, pastries, and refined sugars leach out the calcium from the veins and arteries and when there is a calcium deficiency we have weakness, which allows malfunction. When the colon, kidneys and liver have deteriorated in their ability to keep the blood clean of waste, the blood then cannot perform its many functions adequately. Oxygen distribution to the cells of the body is curtailed and the immune system is largely busy with having to handle some of the excess contaminants in the blood. The person can feel more tired then they should, and, come down with sickness more and more often. Blood Detox Program Outline and Instructions Preparations Needed on Hand Prior to the First Day At least 3 quarts of fresh squeezed fruit and vegetable juice Day #1 – When you first wake up, drink 8 ounces of distilled water if your weight is less than 140 lb., along with 3 capsules of iFlora. Drink 16 oz. of water if your weight is more than 140 lb., along with 3 capsules of iFlora. Wait at least 1/2 hour before taking your first heaping teaspoon of CC#2 (or 8 capsules) along with 16 oz of water. Pre-Breakfast: Detox Drink Mix in a Blender: 8 ounces of fresh orange juice or a citrus juice combination (1 lemon
or 1 lime and enough orange, grapefruit or tangerine to make 8 ounces)
OR 8 ounces of fresh apple and/or grape juice About 20 minutes after consuming the flush drink, consume 2 cups of Blood Detox Tea to which you have added 2 droppersful of Blood Detox Concentrate and one or more drops of Cayenne Concentrate. Consume 2 droppersful of Blood Detox Concentrate in 2 cups of Blood Detox Tea, 4 times daily during this cleanse. It should be quite bitter. Take 2 droppersful of Blood Detox Concentrate and 2 tablespoons of Tonic Supreme every two hours for days #1 through #6 of the cleanse. These will help keep your immune system running at peak levels while you cleanse. You can add these to your juice, blood detox tea drinks throughout each day, or put straight into the mouth. Day #1 Breakfast – Have fruit, fruit juices, and fruit smoothies. On this program do not mix fruits and vegetables together. Eat as much fruit, fruit juices and Vital Nutrition Plus as you like until an hour before lunch. Squeeze in 2 doses of Formula #2 - Intestinal Cleanse - during the morning. Day #1 Lunch – Have fresh raw vegetable juices, Vital Nutrition Plus, large salads, and herb teas. Do not use store bought salad dressings on this program, if they are made with canola oil. Nearly all are. You can make your own using olive oil, Braggs apple cider vinegar and/or lemon/lime juice plus plenty of garlic and other herbs. You will probably want to take your single dose of Intestinal Cleanse #1 at this point. An hour or so later, take a dose of Intestinal Cleanse #2 so as to get in 2 doses before dinner. Day #1 Dinner – Have diluted fruit juices, fruits, fruit smoothes, fruit salads and herb teas for the rest of the day. Take Intestinal Cleanse #1 dose at this time, if not taken earlier. Before Bedtime – Between dinner and bedtime, get in one or two more doses of Intestinal Cleanse #2. Day #2, #3, #4, #5, #6 – Now we begin the 5 day juice flush. Then take your water & iFlora, followed by the morning detox drink and herbal teas. Have diluted fruit juices and herb teas until noon, diluted vegetable juices, and herb tea at lunch and throughout afternoon, and diluted fruit juices and herb tea from dinner onward. Consume at least 1 gallon (128 ounces) of liquid each day. That is 8 ounces every hour! If you get hungry, DRINK MORE Potassium Broth or fresh squeezed juices and Vital Nutrition Plus. One cannot eat too much Vital Nutrition Plus. The only limitation would be one's budget. This pesto paste can prove to be a life saver. Almost all folks starting on a program such as this run into their bodies favorite food addictions by the end of the first day, or third day at the latest. These usually involve sugar or high fat foods or both. The olive oil/Vital Nutrition Plus pesto dip can help one get over the sugar, high fat food cravings. Here is how it can be made: Take 1 half cup of Vital Nutrition Plus and mix olive oil in it until it reaches the point of peanut butter consistency. Add chopped up garlic cloves and other herbs for additional flavor and benefit. Now you can take pieces of apple or raw vegetables and dip them into the Vital Nutrition Paste. Drink at least 16 ounces juice at the same time. This will go far in getting over the cravings. Remember, these 5 days are supposed to be a juice flush, use the pesto sparingly so as to keep on the program and not go back to one's former diet. Try to use the pieces of fruit and vegetables with pesto paste for only 2 of the five days. You will find that a lot more detoxing occurs during the days when juicing is exclusively done. Have on hand at least 3 quarts of fresh squeezed juices for each day of this program. Intestinal Cleanse #1 of the intestinal cleanse can be taken whenever you drink the most juice during the day. Intestinal Cleanse #2 can be taken with any drink at least 5 times throughout the day. Day #7 – This is the same as day #1 in reverse. Fresh fruit in the morning; salads, Vital Nutrition Plus for lunch and afternoon; and more fruits and fruit juices in the evening. Go easy here, remember you are in a transition from a juice flush back to solid food. Certainly do not go back onto the Standard American Diet. Instead, you should now find it much easier to incorporate fresh raw fruits and vegetables as a major part of your diet. Remember, this program restricts the types of food you will be eating, not the amount. If you are hungry at any point during this detoxification program, drink and/or eat more. The more you eat and drink, the more you will flush the toxins out of your body. Take it easy when returning to a new healthy food program. Choose lighter foods for a few days and be careful not to overeat. Chew your food well. Eating smaller meals more often is better than one or two large meals. Repeat this program until you are well - or do every 3-6 months to keep yourself healthy. Caution: Do not try to do this cleanse program while still smoking cigarettes or drinking coffee. To do so will just have you feeling very poorly indeed. Tips on Juicing Rare is the person who can make fresh squeezed juices each and every time they are hungry during the day on a liver or kidney cleanse. This could mean making a batch of fresh squeezed juice 5-8 times a day or more. If your lifestyle is such that you can juice as often as 8 times a day for 7 consecutive days, then it is best to do so. However, if this is not an option, then a close second best alternative has been found from the teaching of Rev. George Malkmus in his Hallelujah Diet materials. Decide how much volume of juice you can usually drink at one time to be satisfied - 8 oz. or 16 oz. This is important. Next, go to a regular grocery store that sells canning jars made by Kerr. There are other companies like Ball who also make canning jars, and that will certainly work, but we prefer the ones made by Kerr, if available. Buy at least 2 cases (12 jars per case) of the size jar that is best for you to use - 8 oz. or 16 oz. The cost is usually around $6.00 a case. Here is the trick: you get all your juicing materials lined up to provide at least 3 quarts of juice. As you make juice, fill up each jar to the very top so that no more can be added. The liquid will actually form a slight dome shape at the top of the jar. Next, hold the disk sealer just over the top of the jar and press down. Some juice should squirt down the side of the jar. This is good as it means there is minimal amount of air trapped in the jar with your juice. Now screw on the sealing ring so that the disk is securely in place. As soon as you complete your juicing project place all the jars of juice in your refrigerator. Take each one out as you need it. In this way fruit juices will keep almost as fresh as actually fresh squeezed for up to 5 days in the refrigerator, and vegetable juices last up to 3 days. With this recommendation you can do all of your juicing needed to last an entire day or even 2 or 3 days. Warning! Be certain to make enough each time! If the supply is supposed to last one day, make at least 3 quarts (12 - 8 ounce jars or 6 - 16 ounce jars). When away from your home, you can put your jars of juice in a one handed cooler with blue ice (refreezable ice packs) in it to keep the juice cold. IMPORTANT NOTE: once you open a jar of juice, you must drink all of its contents within a few minutes. The reason is that prolonged exposure to the air will destroy the enzymes in the juice. Within 20 minutes the enzymes are all oxidized. This is why you must use jars in a size that allows you to drink the juice quickly without having to wait to drink the rest later. You cannot get away with using store bought juice for the same reason – the enzymes are not present. Capturing the all important enzymes can only be done by juicing and drinking immediately, or by sealing the fresh squeezed juice in the canning jar with the above method. |

A New Front-End Methodology: BEM
- By Varvara Stepanova
- April 16th, 2012
- 71 Comments
This article is the sixth in our new series that introduces the latest, useful and freely available tools and techniques, developed and released by active members of the Web design community. The first article covered PrefixFree1; the second introduced Foundation2, a responsive framework; the third presented Sisyphus.js3, a library for Gmail-like client-side drafts, the fourth shared with us a free plugin called GuideGuide4 and the fifth presented Erskine Design's responsive grid generator Gridpak5. Today, we are happy to feature a toolkit devised by Yandex: BEM.
BEM stands for "Block", "Element", "Modifier". It is a front-end methodology: a new way of thinking when developing Web interfaces. This article will elaborate on the theory as well as the practice of building websites at Yandex—one of the leading internet companies in Russia.
Due to the length of this article, it was split into three parts:
- Part 1: BEM Principles
- Part 2: Blocks Reiteration186
- Part 3: File System Representation For A Block197
BEM Principles Link
To begin, let's first put BEM in some historical perspective.
We first began sketching out the internal front-end framework at Yandex around the year 2007, starting with a robust CSS naming convention, and a file system layout that was associated with it. Since the naming convention was well-structured, it seemed suitable to develop certain JavaScript helpers (to work with the DOM and CSS classes in particular, on a higher level of abstraction). We then used those approaches to build an internal library of UI components that could be shared among our various websites and rich applications, built using different technology stacks (XML/XSLT, Python/Django, Perl/TT2).
Some parts of the BEM stack started as open source projects, while others (like the UI component library) are being gradually open sourced. Our goal is to publish most of them during 2012.
BEM is a toolkit that will help address and resolve front-end issues quickly and effectively. It is available in a range of reusable code libraries—all of them are hosted on Github and are completely open source.
BEM Principles Link
One of the most common examples of a methodology in programming is Object-Oriented Programming. It's a programming paradigm embodied by many languages. In some ways, BEM is similar to OOP—a way of describing reality in code, with a range of patterns, and a way of thinking about program entities regardless of the programming languages being used.
We've used BEM principles to create a set of front-end development techniques and tools that allow us to build websites quickly and maintain them over a long period of time. The principles are the following:
Unified Data Domain Link
Imagine an ordinary website, like the one pictured below:
While developing such a website, it's useful to mark out "blocks" from which the website consists of. For example, in this picture there are Head
, Main Layout
and Foot
blocks. The Head
in turn consists of Logo
, Search
, Auth Block
and Menu
. Main Layout
contains a Page Title
and a Text Block
Giving each part of the page a name is very useful when it comes to team communication.
A project manager could ask:
- To make the
bigger, or - To create a page without a
form in theHead
An HTML guy could ask a fellow JavaScript developer:
- To make
Auth Block
animated, etc.
Let's now take a closer look at what constitutes BEM:
A block
is an independent entity, a "building block" of an application. A block can be either simple or compound (containing other blocks).
Search form block:
Element Link
An element
is a part of a block that performs a certain function. Elements are context-dependent: they only make sense in the context of the block that they belong to.
An input field and a button are elements of the Search Block:
Means Of Describing Pages And Templates Link
Blocks and elements constitute page content. Besides simply being present on a page, their arrangement is also important.
Blocks (or elements) may follow each other in a certain order. For example, a list of goods on a commerce website:
…or menu items:
Blocks may also be contained inside other blocks. For example, a Head Block
includes other blocks:
Besides, our building blocks need a way to describe page layout in plain text. To do so, every block and element should have a keyword that identifies it.
A keyword designating a specific block is called Block Name
. For example, Menu
can be a keyword for the Menu Block
and Head
can be a keyword for the Head
A keyword designating an element is called Element Name
. For example, each item in a menu is an element Item
of the Menu
Block names must be unique within a project to unequivocally designate which block is being described. Only instances of the same block can have the same names. In this case, we can say that one block is present on the page twice (or 3, 4, times… etc.).
Element names must be unique within the scope of a block. An element can be repeated several times. For example, menu items:
Keywords should be put in a certain order. Any data format that supports nesting (XML, JSON) will do:
In this example, b
and e
namespaces separate block nodes from element nodes.
The same in JSON:
block: 'page',
content: {
block: 'head',
content: [
{ block: 'menu', content: ... },
elem: 'column',
content: { block: 'logo' }
elem: 'column',
content: [
block: 'search',
content: [
{ elem: 'input' },
elem: 'button',
content: 'Search'
elem: 'column',
content: {
block: 'auth',
content: ...
Examples above show an object model with blocks and elements nested inside each other. This structure can also contain any number of custom data fields. We call this structure BEM Tree
(by analogy with DOM tree).
If a developer needs to move a block to a different place on a page, he does so by changing the BEM tree. Templates generate the final view themselves.
In our recent products we went with JSON as a page description format. It is then turned into HTML by a JS-based template engine. The tools we use are listed at the end of this article.
Block Independence Link
As projects grow, blocks tend to be added, removed, or moved around on the page. For example, you may want to swap the Logo
with the Auth Block
, or place the Menu
under the Search Block
To make this process easier, blocks must be Independent
An Independent
block is implemented in a way that allows arbitrary placement anywhere on the page—including nesting inside another block.
Independent CSS
From the CSS point of view it means that:
- A block (or an element) must have a unique "name" (a CSS class) that could be used in a CSS rule.
- HTML elements must not be used in CSS selectors (.menu td) as such selectors are inherently not context-free.
- Cascading selectors for several blocks should be avoided.
Naming for Independent CSS Classes
One of the possible naming schemes for CSS classes that satisfies said requirements is the following:
- CSS class for a block coincides with its
Block Name

- CSS class for an element is a
Block Name
and anElement Name
separated by some character(s)

It's necessary to include block name in a CSS class for an element to minimize cascading. It's also important to use separators consistently to allow the tools and helpers to have unambiguous programmatic access to the elements.
Different naming schemes can be used. Take a look here16 for the naming convention we used.
Independent Templates
From the template engine's perspective, block independence means that:
- Blocks and elements must be described in the input data.
Blocks (or elements) must have unique "names" to make things like "Menu
should be placed here" expressible in our templates. - Blocks may appear anywhere in a BEM tree.
Independent templates for blocks
When coming across a block in a template, the template engine should be able to unambiguously transform it into HTML. Thus, every block should have a template for that.
For example, a template can look like this in XSL:
<xsl:template match="b:menu">

<xsl:template match="b:menu/e:item">

We are gradually discarding XSLT in our products in favor of our own JavaScript-based template engine XJST17. This template engine absorbs everything we like about XSLT (we are fans of declarative programming), and implements it with JavaScript's productivity on either the client or the server side.
We, at Yandex, write our templates using a domain-specific language called BEMHTML, which is based on XJST. The main ideas of BEMHTML are published in the BEM club on Ya.Ru (in Russian).

One major film star referred to director Nicholas Ray as a loser, because of Ray's alleged willingness to let his more temperamental actors walk all over him. Evidently, Ray had a very compliant and cooperative cast in King of Kings, inasmuch as the film emerged as one of the most disciplined Biblical epics ever made. Jeffrey Hunter is cast as Jesus Christ, delivering a wholly credible performance in this most taxing of roles (never mind the wags who referred to the film as I Was a Teenage Jesus). Siobhan McKenna is a radiant if somewhat overaged Mary; Hurd Hatfield offers a properly preening Pontius Pilate; Rip Torn portrays Judas more for the tragedy than the treachery; Robert Ryan (a personal favorite of Ray's) is one of the best John the Baptists you're ever likely to see; and Harry Guardino convincingly interprets Barabbas as a firebrand political extremist. The only false note in the casting is the MGM-dictated selection of teenaged Brigid Bazlen as Salome. The best aspect of the film is its handling of the days after the Resurrection; the Jesus sightings are offered as secondhand information, so as to retain some of the mystery inherent in the Scriptures. King of Kings was previously filmed in 1927 by Cecil B. DeMille, with a middle-aged H.B. Warner as Jesus.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

CORINTH – Construction is set to begin on a new Fire Station No. 2 after the city board accepted the low bid from Southland Construction of Tupelo for the project.
Southland was one of 11 construction companies that submitted bids for the contract, said Community Planning and Development Director Dave Huwe.
Southland's base bid of $563,674 was accepted, along with an additional bid of $40,080 for a station door enhancement, for a total contract of $604,154.
The new Fire Station No. 2 on Shiloh Road will be moved to the new location near the intersection of Highway 2 and Shiloh Road, across from the Afton housing development.
Fire Chief Rob Price previously said the move was recommended by the fire insurance rating bureau to provide better coverage to the north and northwest side of the city, which will enable the department to maintain its Class 5 rating.
When the project was proposed in late 2007, the two-bay station was estimated to cost about $650,000. It will be constructed on part of a 5-acre city-owned property.
Financing of the construction will include up to $200,000 in grants from the USDA Rural Development Administration, combined with a Capital Improvements Revolving Loan from the Mississippi Development Authority.

Cody Ross after four-hit game: 'I have no hard feelings toward anybody in this organization' |
08.03.13 at 12:25 am ET |
Cody Ross was only in a vindictive mood on the field.
After torturing the Red Sox with four hits — including the eventual decisive solo homer in the seventh inning of what resulted in an Arizona 7-6 win over the Sox at Fenway Park — Ross took the high-road when asked about any motivation he might to make the Red Sox pay for not re-signing him.
"Obviously I want to come in here, perform and play well. Anytime you play against one of your old teams you want to do this," he said. "I have no hard feelings toward anybody in this organization. This is a first-class organization. It's just nice to be back here and be playing again."
Ross, who had some pointed words for the Red Sox decision-makers earlier Friday when appearing on Mut and Merloni, did admit that the experience was a special one.
Playing left field, Ross was received warmly by the Fenway faithful when introduced, ultimately calling the entire experience "sweet as apple pie."
"They're cheering for me, and giving me a hard time too. It was good," he said. "I was happy when they announced my name the way it went down. As bad as we were last year, for the fans to cheer for me was pretty special. It didn't go so well like that in San Francisco, where I got a lot of boos, which I really don't understand. Maybe these fans know a little bit more than they do."
The 33-year-old added, "Obviously I've had this game circled on my calendar for a while. I knew we were coming back here the later part of the year, I was excited to get back and see a lot of familiar faces and a lot of friends. But at the same time come back and beat them. There are some feelings there. It definitely feels good to get this first one."
Ross' frustrations earlier in the day were born from an offseason in which the Red Sox offered him a two-year deal when he was looking for three years. Also not helping matters, according to the outfielder, was the impression he had that three-year deals weren't in the works prior to the team inking both Shane Victorino and Mike Napoli to such contracts.
Ross ultimately signed a three-year, $26 million deal with his hometown Diamondbacks. Through 87 games this season, he is hitting .280 with a .745 OPS and seven home runs, having gone 9-for-14 (.643) in his last three games.
"I don't feel like I proved a point," Ross said. "I was just going out there trying to help my team win. Obviously it feels good to have success against your old team or any team that lets you go. It was the same way when I played the Marlins in 2011. I wanted to beat the crap out of them. The same thing happened in San Francisco. And the same thing happened here in Boston. Going through that '¦ This isn't my first time playing against my old team, so that's helped me out."
Ross has been competing somewhat for playing time with the Diamondbacks, having recently met with manager Kirk Gibson after he was benched in favor of A.J. Pollock when Jason Kubel had to be scratched.
But with the current hot streak — which was put on display against the Red Sox in the form of two doubles, a single and a homer against reliever Pedro Beato after the hosts had tied the game in the sixth — Ross appears to have found his niche for now.
Every game I play I have a lot of nerves. This is a little more '¦ sentimental, I guess," he said. "I've been in this situation before, going back to San Francisco. You don't want to try too much. You can find yourself trying to find yourself trying to hit a grand slam with nobody on. It doesn't work. It works against you. I was just trying to get some good pitches to hit, not try and do too much, hit a couple of balls the other way early and then the slider from Beato. It was a fun game."

Die springs put on the pressure
Springs must apply the right pressure at the right time and place
Without something to manage and absorb pressure, a die set would cease to function properly. This is why die spring selection--which considers spring size, travel, number, and placement within the tool--is so critical.
Die springs, an essential stamping die component, create the optimal pressure for restraining the sheet material in a fixed position while it is being pierced, formed, flanged, or trimmed. The springs also provide controlled return pressure for the die stripper to permit the punches and other die-mounted tools to evacuate the material during the press's return stroke.
Die springs are most commonly used to actuate strippers, but they can also be found behind form pressure pads and binder rings in draw dies. The goal is to provide adequate die spring pressure within the limited remaining space of the die (see Figure 1).
To select a die spring, you first should gather information about three different aspects of the die design: how much pressure is needed; what spring size and how many are needed to produce that pressure; and how far these springs must collapse or travel.
Pressure Requirements
To determine spring pressure for a spring used in a stripper, first calculate the perforating pressure for the entire die. To do this, you need to know the thickness and shear strength of the part material as well as the length of shear or cutting distance. These elements multiplied together will give you the perforating pressure. The formula reads:
Perforating pressure = S × T × L
S = Shear strength of the part material
T = Part material thickness
L = Total length of shear or cutting distance
A pressure equal to 10 to 15 percent of the total perforating pressure typically is used to actuate the stripper (the range accommodates the potential differences among spring manufacturers). This allows for the downward ram speed to align safely and engage the die shoe components into their guided, mated components before material contact (see Figure 2).
The formula for stripping pressure is:
Stripping pressure = Perforating pressure × 0.10 to 0.15
Although the formula for determining pad pressure in a form die is different from that of a stripper, it must still contain the same three elements of (1) pressure, (2) quantity and size of springs, and (3) the travel. The pad pressure in a forming operation should be at least 1.5 times greater than the force required for bending the part (see Figure 3).
Bending pressure = (S × 0.166 × T2 ) / ( T + R1/2 + R2/2 ) × L
S = Tensile strength
T = Material thickness
R1 = Radius on form punch
R2 = Radius on form die
L = Length of form
The pressure pad formula is:
Pad pressure = Bending pressure × 1.5
A forming operation requires more pad pressure than a bending operation because of the need to control sheet material movement over the forms and maintain its new shape. The pad pressure also helps to prevent material from scoring or tearing as it is being formed.
Pressure requirements for binder rings in draw dies tend to be less scientific, determined by trial and error. It is not uncommon to find a note on a draw die design stating the spring requirement as "springs to suit."
As the binder ring holds the material in its locating position, the spring pressure required tends to be adjusted to eliminate the tearing and shearing that may occur while the material is being drawn or stretched. A too-high spring pressure will inhibit the drawing of the material, while too little pressure will draw material up the form and fail to provide a uniform wall thickness.
Spring Size and Quantity
The amount of available space in the die will help determine how many springs to use and what sizes to choose. Whenever possible, try using numerous low-pressure springs rather than a few high-pressure springs. This will reduce stress on the springs.
As long as the tool layout permits the necessary space, more springs of lower pressure allow for more evenly distributed pressure and a more balanced stripper pad. This enhances sheet material control throughout the complete press stroke. Also, if just one die spring becomes fatigued, the die pad will continue to operate with the other springs.
Die spring placement, when applicable, should be nearest the area being pierced, formed, flanged, or trimmed. This enhances the ability to locate the most pressure on the area being worked upon while maintaining sheet material control. The use of spring cams, retainer bolts, or spring pockets serve to guard the springs from debris and protect the tool die details in the event of a fatigued or broken die spring.
Travel Requirements
When springs are installed in a die, they are compressed approximately 0.125 in. Called preload, this compression is necessary to keep the springs from working their way out of the die. As a side benefit, the preload reduces the shock associated with rapid loading and unloading of the die and increases the spring life.
The bottom of the stripper draws up just short of being flush with the end of the punch. This ensures that the part material strips completely off the end of the punch. When the press cycle starts, the ram begins to move downward. The stripper makes contact with the part material and stops. As the ram continues descending, the springs compress, allowing the punches to extend through the part material and into the die button until the ram reaches the bottom of its stroke. This compression is called stripper travel.
The travel of a spring is determined by the spring preload, thickness of the material, entry of the punch into the die button, and the distance the stripper hangs below the bottom of the punch. Put simply, preload plus the stripper travel equals the total spring travel.
The same is true in form and draw dies. Pressure pads or binder rings will also travel and compress the springs. Preload plus travel of the stripper or comparable component will give you the total travel of the spring.
To reduce stress and allow for maximum spring life, you should keep preload and travel to a minimum. The more rapidly a spring works in compressing and decompressing, the greater the fatigue factor. Slower-spring applications permit longer spring travels, longer spring life, and the ability to operate near maximum spring deflection levels. The faster a die spring cycles, the shorter the spring life expectancy. In such fast cycling applications, you should lower the spring deflection.
Spring Selection
Now that you know the pressure, approximate size, and travel, you can begin the actual spring selection process. This starts by combining the three aspects of the die design. First, divide the total stripping force required by the number of springs to be used.
The selected spring must deliver the desired pressure at preload. To determine the pressure of the spring at a given preload, multiply the amount of preload by the amount of pressure the spring develops over 1 inch. Most spring catalogs give pressure ratings over 1 in. as well as various other amounts of compression or travel.
Keep in mind that the spring must offer sufficient travel within its normal operating range. For example, the maximum operating range of a medium-pressure spring is approximately 50 percent of the free, or static, length. The efficient operating range of this spring is between 10 and 35 percent of the free length. Higher-pressure springs will have a shorter range of travel.
Although springs will compress beyond the maximum operating range, you should avoid this at all cost. Compressing beyond maximum range will severely hinder spring life and could damage the die. It is also a good idea to choose a spring with extra travel to prevent overtraveling the spring after a tool has been resharpened.
Small but Critical
Improperly selecting die springs can lead to coil setting or springs breaking, resulting in costly repairs that put production behind schedule. In a just-in-time world, this can be truly devastating.
Without something to manage and absorb pressure, a die set would cease to function properly. This is why die spring selection—including the size, travel, number, and placement within the tool—is so critical.

Thanks for your reply. I've had a good look though their catalogue in the past but can't see anything that looks like the one that I have. The nearest that I have seen anywhere is one called 'Peaches and Cream'.
I have a wildlife pond in my garden (5 x 4 metres) which had an assortment of water lilies in it (amongst other things). Last year I was given a water lily which I can't identify. The inside and outside of the petals are pink at the base but are cream from the middle to the tips. The centre is a lovely golden yellow. I can't get the colours to show clearly in photos but I have posted some pictures here... http://www.flickr.com/photos/84935766@N05/ Any ideas what it is?

The base class contains an abstract method that should be implemented by the all the subclasses in order to:
-Perfoming the specific query to the database
-Building the DTO object from the ResultSet
The super class's template method calls the abstract method and then release properly all the jdbc resources created during the transaction.
The signature for the abstract method is the following:
protected abstract Object executeQuery(Connection jdbcConnection)
throws SQLException;
So far, I used Java Bean as DTO and the SQLException is the only exception that could be throw by the implementations of the abstract method.
Now,I need to use org.w3c.dom.Document class as DTO object.
That means the implementations of the executeQuery method now could throw exceptions other than SQLException (E.g. ParserConfigurationException)
So I need to change the signature of my abstract method in order to handle it.
What I want to know is:
Which is a good solution to use a template method if you dont which kind of exception can be thrown by the abstract method.
Should I declare the abstract method in a general way like:
protected abstract Object executeQuery(Connection jdbcConnection)
throws DAOException;
catching all the possible exception in the sub classes and throwing DAOExceptions?
Thanks in advance,

A good question to ask yourself is: Do I really need to throw these exceptions? Is it possible for me to catch any of them and fix the problem?
Exceptions are nasty and should really be dealt with if possible, rather then leaving them for someone else to deal with. If you can recover from any of the non-Runtime exceptions, then I suggest you do.Last edited by literallyjer; 10-21-2009 at 01:42 AM. Reason: spell check

Thanks for your quick answer,
The SQLException thrown by executeQuery method's implementations need to be handled in the same way. So, in order to avoid to duplicate the code in all sub-classes i let the sub-classes throw SQLException and it is the base class responsible for catching SQLException and handling it properly (in my code throwing a DAOException).
Below you can find the skeloton of my template method called run:
public Object run() throws DAOException {
Object result;
//Code for Retrieving the connection object
try {
result = executeQuery(connection);
} catch (SQLException sqle) {
// In case of sql exception here, we log the error
throw new DAOException(errorMsg, sqle)
} finally {
// Releasing all jdbc resources allocated
return result;
As you can see, the template method do:
- Retrieve the connection object.
- Call the abstract executeQuery method passing the connection object.
- Handle SQLException coming from executeQuery implemantations
- Release the jdbc resource whatever happens.
I agree with you that is better to handle as early as possible exceptions, but in this case is the base-class in charge of handle it, i don't let the exceptions to be thrown to the client code.
So do you think it is better for the sub-classes to handle all the possible exceptions and then throwing always DAOException?

Well, I am not really sure what the best practice is here. However, I think that there is an advantage of catching the exceptions and throwing a DAOException for your client code to deal with. This provides encapsulation for when/if you decided to change your backend code. Also, it might be worth while making DAOException extend RuntimeException. Therefore, if in the future the exception is never actually thrown, you never have to worry about catching it. Also, if it is impossible to recover from any of your encapsulated exceptions, then there's no reason to make yourself catch them every time you call executeQuery.
