Even a valid non-compete agreement can fail to provide the scope of protection that the drafter expects. In March 2012, Florida's Fifth Circuit of Appeal decided Heiderich v. Florida Equine Veterinary Services, Inc., 37 Fla. L. Weekly D759a, giving little effect to a valid non-compete agreement. The language in the non-compete agreement only prevented the employee from establishing an office located within a specified geographic area and did not prohibit the employee from conducting business within the geographical bounds. In Heiderich, the employee signed a valid non-compete agreement and was reminded of such upon termination. Within the period of non-compete, the employee established an office just outside the geographic radius, and then delivered services within the non-compete geographical boundaries.
In reversing the lower court's temporary injunction, the appellate court found that the language in the non-compete only meant that the employee could not establish a physical business location within the 30 mile radius.
"[E]mployee shall not own, manage, operate, control, be employed by, assist, participate in, or have any material interest in any business or profession engaged in general equine veterinary practice located within a thirty (30) mile radius of [FEVS's business address]"
The court found that there was nothing in the non-compete agreement to stop the employee from establishing an office 31 miles from the company and then servicing the clients within 30 miles of the company, ruling that "the non-compete agreement does not prohibit [the employee] from providing . . . services within a 30-mile radius of [the company], so long as her business office is outside that radius."
The clause only prohibits the employee from "owning or being employed by a business or profession engaged in equine veterinary practice located within a 30-mile radius of FEVs. It does not . . . prohibit [the employee] from practicing equine veterinary medicine anywhere within the 30-mile radius."
Heiderich is consistent with previous Florida decisions on the issue. In Tam-Bay Realty, Inc. v. Ross, 534 So. 2d 1200 (Fla. 2d DCA 1988), a non-compete agreement stated that the sellers of a real-estate brokerage firm were not to compete with the business in any of the following ways:
"by opening, operating, serving as an officer, director or other employee of any real estate brokerage business located with the geographical boundaries of Pinellas County, Florida…"
However, according to a Florida court the non-compete agreement did not prohibit the seller from advertising in the phone book, obtaining a local phone number, running advertisements for homes, or listing themselves in business directories within the area the non-compete purported to protect.
The court found that the sellers "did not breach the covenant because they had not competed by 'opening, operating, serving as an officer or director of any brokerage business located within Pinellas County.' Rather, the sellers had competed within Pinellas County 'from a brokerage business located outside of Pinellas County thereby adhering to the literal meaning of the non-compete agreement."
How does this affect your business? There is the potential that your valid, negotiated non-compete agreement might leave you exposed to unexpected future competition. In light of the March 2012 decision in Heiderich, it is more important than ever to re-examine existing non-compete agreements to ensure that they offer meaningful protection and do not just make competing less convenient.

Not sure if this is worth addressing, but it bugs me: When I save links from Giant Bomb on Pocket (a read it later service), the headline is always incorrect. For instance, I saved Alex's review of "Beyond" to read later, but it shows up as "Pokemon X/Y" for some reason. There's no rhyme or reason to it, it always happens whether saved from the browser, a link on Twitter via the mobile API, or elsewhere.
This tends to bust up my workflow for reading longer content on Giant Bomb–I don't use the service to skirt ads or design, but just to keep a log of what I need to read on the bus.

In it, but not of it. TPM DC
Explaining The Crazy: What All The Chaotic Politics News Really Means
If the parties believed the 2008 election was about to repeat itself, or that President Obama was so damaged that Republicans were headed to a decisive victory of their own, the news these days would look a lot different. But what the data show, and what the parties' actions reflect, is the fact that familiar Democratic and Republican coalitions are taking shape again -- that an evenly divided electorate will determine the outcome of the 2012 election, much as it did in years past.
And that means the parties are fighting for votes at the margin -- locked in equal and opposite efforts to rally their own bases, depress their opponents' and maybe, if they're lucky, make inroads with typically hostile constituencies.
Aim the past weeks' disjointed news through this prism, and an ordered logic comes out the other side.
"This is all about base motivation [and] opponent base demotivation," Trey Grayson, a former GOP Kentucky Senate candidate and director of Harvard's Institute of Politics, told TPM Monday.
A fight about contraception ironically begat the slut/mom shout-fests -- but each of these dust-ups was really about growing or diminishing Democrats' large advantage among women voters. The GOP helped Dems pad an organic lead by opposing the Obama administration's new rule requiring employers to provide female workers with insurance that covers contraception. Things arguably got worse when Rush Limbaugh -- an influential figure in Republican politics -- attacked law student Sandra Fluke, a poster-child for the contraception mandate, and called her a slut. So when Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen made an infelicitous comment about Ann Romney, Republicans devoured it like heavenly manna. It wasn't just a narrow opportunity to neutralize an unflattering media cycle but a chance to sow doubt in the minds of female voters about which party best respects their interests; perhaps even to energize Republican stay-at-home moms, dispirited that their partymen consistently come down on the wrong side of issues that matter to them.
The rule holds no matter how untethered the campaigns appear to be. When David Axelrod and Eric Fehrnstrom jab at each others' boss' unfortunate run-ins with Lassie, it's not because they're vying for the undecided dog-owner vote. They're both signaling different things to Republicans' heavily white, religious, rural base -- and even to some Democrats. The Obama camp's message is that Romney's not one of you. The Romney camp message is that Obama's not one of us.
"The Romney dog story showing Romney's rich and out of touch, that plays well into the Democratic base story," Grayson said. "For people who think Obama's different or somehow foreign, if you're Romney you've got to get those folks back in the fold. The Obama eating a dog story might be one way to do that."
That isn't to say the campaign will be defined entirely by brief but repeated bouts of bizarre mania. Months from now when undecided voters finally tune in, the campaigns will have to soften their pitches. And as Bill Burton, a senior strategist at the pro-Obama SuperPAC Priorities USA argues, those voters will only be interested in these kinds of stories insofar as they serve as a guide to the candidates' broader values
"Yes, there are pieces of information that are more important to some people than others," Burton said. "There's no doubt that those particular issues have an impact, but on the whole people are looking at a much bigger picture."
But for the moment partisans are the target audience "Now is the time to do it," Grayson said. "The swing voters aren't paying any attention right now and your base voters are probably more engaged. Sometimes these phony stories are how you get your voters engaged."
In the coming weeks, the U.S. Capitol will become a prime venue for similar, more substantive fights. VAWA and student loans are just two examples (young voters were a huge help to Obama in 2008).
As acrimonious as things can become in Washington, though, on the trail, it has the potential to get very ugly. Earlier this month, Montana Gov. Brian Schweitzer identified Romney's Mormon faith as a de facto political liability. Romney, Schweitzer said, could suffer with Montana Republicans because his father was "born on a polygamy commune in Mexico."
The Obama campaign condemned the remark, but as the election nears and the parties become more desperate, these coded attacks could escalate.
"[C]ynical minds might wonder if there is a strategic outsourcing of the below-the-belt attacks to surrogates not officially affiliated with the campaign," wrote National Review's Jim Geraghty. "Of course, if the Democrats want to make this race about which candidate is closer to a polygamist ancestor ... we can play that game."

The Crow Wing County sheriff has checked the ice on Gull Lake and has given the green light to the Brainerd Jaycees' 24th annual ice fishing fundraiser that draws more than 10,000 anglers.
Sheriff Todd Dahl says there's 17 to 19 inches of ice on Hole in the Day Bay, which is sufficient for the Jan. 25 event.
The volunteer-run Ice Fishing Extravaganza offers more than $150,000 in prizes, including a new Ford or GMC pickup truck, all-terrain vehicles and ice houses.
All proceeds are donated to area non-profit organizations with the primary beneficiary being the Confidence Learning Center - an outdoor center for people with developmental disabilities.

On March 31, 2005, the federal bank, credit union, and thrift supervisory agencies, along with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), released answers to frequently asked questions (FAQs) that address the new home loan price data that will be disclosed this year for the first time under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act (HMDA). The FAQs will aid users with their evaluation and interpretation of the data.
The FAQs are part of the larger effort by the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the National Credit Union Administration, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the Office of Thrift Supervision, and HUD to promote the informed use of the 2004 data.
A full understanding of the data, including its limitations, will help ensure that the data are used effectively to advance the goals of HMDA. The agencies plan to engage in educational outreach to state and local agencies, trade associations, and consumer- and community-based organizations.
In September, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council will release the annual summary statistical reports for each lender and an aggregate report for each Metropolitan Statistical Area. Concurrently, staff of the Federal Reserve Board will publish an article analyzing the 2004 data in the Federal Reserve Bulletin.
The FAQs are available on the Federal Reserve Board's website.

Parked at the park
Trip Start
Oct 23, 2006
Trip End
Apr 15, 2009
Our first day is slow indeed with the border crossing and holdups due to slides. Our memories came rushing back and our prospect for the night seemed far away. In the dark we descended with the parade of vehicles into Pamplona, and suddenly the little town was full to bursting with the backlogged traffic. We took a side road and left with hopes of finding somewhere at the other end of town to spend the night. Nothing! we were tired after our long day and then we found ourselves climbing another mountain leaving Pamplona with no prospect in sight and not prepared to go back and battle a total town traffic jam we kept going. Finally at the top of this mountain , 3500m altitude, we spotted a restaurant/store/posada and pulled in. It was cold and raining up here but this was our spot for the night. After a quick meal we settled in for the night wearing our fleece.
Next morning, we found Bucaramanga, home of the crunchy ant candy (we bought a bag, but it's still on the dash bacause we're not quite sure...). Anyway, Bucaramanga is a newish large city sitting in a valley surrounded by mountains which we just came out of and were about to climb back into. A short stop for groceries and gas then on to Giron close by, an historical colonial town, like a museum but is a real town with very narrow streets typical of towns like this. We had a look around and would have stayed if we had spotted camping in or around town.
Back up the mountainside toward Bogota, not that Bogota is our destination but we have not seen this part of Colombia and we are on the trail of a few campgrounds. At the top of a mountain we came across Parque Chicamocha, a lovely tranquil spot with a panoramic view. It is a tourist attraction but not too busy at this time. We parked and stayed for the day and night. There is a police post on the premises and after the park closed at 7 pm were in their care. They were a friendly group and a couple of them could speak a little english and with our limited spanish we had a good time getting to know each other.
During the day they are dressed in smart uniforms with a tourist police band on their arms and at night when the park closes they wear full camouflage gear including machine guns. We could have have been afraid at this point but we weren't, although we did ask them if there could be a problem. They assured us our safety and a tranquil night.
We are tempted to spend another night and the policemen invited us to stay more nights. Even here we have become the center of attention as visitors to the park come to talk and take photos with us. We feel this is a rare opportunity for them to be with Canadians. They all know Canada and are aware of Toronto and Vancouver. They like to ask questions about us and Canada and like to see photos.
The park is also the place where the monument to Santander has been built. This is Santander province, and at the peak of the park is a huge monument of a stylized tobacco leaf.
San Gil is a mornings drive from The Parque Chicamocha which means we should be settled into a camp spot by early afternoon. We find the campground Cajasan Guarigua a short distance out of town. It is actually a sports and education center which allows camping and access to their very good facilities.
The senora manager is very helpful and makes sure we are comfortable and have everything we need. Our spot on the grassy expanse overlooking the valley is indeed a tranquil place away from the areas of activity. Two pools are the hub of entertainment, but we prefer to hibernate in the shade of our tree.
We did not realize that we are such avid bird watchers. Thinking back to our lives in and around Calgary and most recently in Powell River we were always aware of the birds in the area and even had names for some of them, such as club foot, one eye, and Lugina a blind baby crow born in the Yew in the corner of our yard and now, here on on our travels we know most of the birds by their song and particular way of walking. So! we are bird watchers. Here, little brightly colored birds capture our attention as they flit around barely sitting long enough for a photo. One day we will cross their northern limits leaving them behind and meet others that haunt the northern hemisphere.
Gillie is monitored by the staff dog; a passive dalmation who sits at a distance watching and only when we are inside for the night does she come sniffing around. Even in her old age Gillie is spunky and aware, always guarding her space. She loves to have a dog around to deal with and we think it is good for her.
We spend days catching up on chores and resting while being entertained by students, families frolicking in the pool, the soccer games, and the glorious scenery.
Busy days at this well used center quickly turned into quiet nights where we had the place to ourselves except for security.

Just in time for the 2014 Emmys, Netflix put out a "Superfan" commercial starring comedian Ricky Gervais (who is also the Emmy-nominated star of Netflix series "Derek"). In the comercial, which is above, Gervais makes cameos in all the big Netflix shows, from "House of Cards" to "Orange Is the New Black" to "Lilyhammer."
But what's even better than the "Superfan" commercial? The "Superfan" commercial outtakes, which Netflix also posted online. Those are below and they're even funnier than the commercial itself. Who knew Michael Kelly was so hilarious? And at the very end, after Kelly and Gervais have had a little fun at Kevin Spacey's expense, you can hear Gervais off camera go, "He's going to have us both killed."
Seasons 1 and 2 of "House of Cards," "Orange Is the New Black" and "Lilyhammer" are all available now on Netflix.

Last month nearly 300 people gathered for the annual Realtor VIP Stevens Stars Awards Party at the Country Club in Landfall. Honored guests enjoyed music by local jazz favorite Benny Hill, cocktails, a spectacular buffet and were first to hear Craig Stevens, President and Owner of Stevens Fine Homes, announce a significant change for the company coming in spring 2013.
Guests included representatives from various real estate, development and lending companies, and the Stevens Stars themselves: 150 plus realtors who made sales for Stevens Fine Homes in 2012 and their guests. In the top awards bracket, realtors who sold and closed on five or more homes received the Bronze Eagle trophy, a check for $2,000 and limousine rides to and from the party.
"While we have many smaller events throughout the year to honor those professionals that help us, the Stars Party is our biggest way to thank and celebrate our top realtors and their achievements in the past year," Stevens Director of Marketing Chantel Wujtow offers.
2012 proved to be a very good year for Stevens Fine Homes. The company saw 330 homes sold, 267 closed and the addition of Onslow County to the build site repertoire. With much to celebrate, Craig Stevens chose the night of the party to announce something entirely new. In spring 2013, Stevens Fine Homes will no longer be building in just its communities alone. Stevens Fine Homes is offering build on your lot opportunities, and is reinventing the process to include all of the same perks buyers would get in one of Stevens' communities. Clients who commission builds outside of the communities will receive the same 120-day build time frame, the Stevens Energy Wise value, and use of the 2,500 square foot Design Studio. They will still work with their own Superintendent, New Home Specialist, Design Studio team and Warranty team - everything that makes a Stevens home a superb value.
Craig Stevens will be using the first quarter of this year to adjust his efficient build system to what the company is currently calling the Stevens Build on Your Lot program. Stevens urges buyers to look for announcements that Build on Your Lot could begin as early as May.
Wujtow is already preparing for next year's Stars Party. "It's going to have to be extra special," she confides. "Not only is 2013 our 20th Anniversary as a business, it's the debut of these new constructions. There's going to be so much to celebrate."
Stevens Fine Homes main office is located at 5710 Oleander Drive, Suite 200, Wilmington, NC 28403. To contact them, call the office at (910) 794-8699, or during nights and weekends at (910) 332-8500 or visit their website at www.stevensfinehomes.com.

My gripe-du-jour is about people who volunteer to take on a task or role and then disappear. I know it's true that with all-volunteer organizations such as most Pagan groups are that the out-of-site-out-of-mind rule applies. A volunteer leaves a meeting or gathering or festival full of zeal and ready to take on the work of whatever project(s) the group is planning. That person may even have been provided with documents, mailing lists, etc. with which to accomplish the task(s). He[1] may even have taken on the responsibilities of an officer within the organization. Then he gets home and more immediate concerns distract and derail him.
This phenomenon was more damaging to Pagan efforts at organizing prior to the advent of the Internet. For instance, within CoG, source of most but not all of my experience, membership applications must be timely processed or the applicant will wonder if her papers were even received. And when a newsletter published eight times a year is the primary, and only official, vehicle of communication within the organization, getting every newsletter to the membership is critical. Of course, today we can renew memberships online, and the newsletter editors of recent years have done a splendid job. But back in the day such lapses in accomplishing volunteer tasks could have a negative impact on the group at large.

They are now considering dropping the planned rollout of DOCSIS 3.0 high speed citing that it was part of their plan for consumption based billing. In other words, if they are not going to get the blood money they planned from CBB, they might not feel the need to roll out wideband (even though they are not implicitly tied).

This week was 20 miles of "real running" and 90 "miles" pool running (per my conversion below) plus 30 minutes on the arc-trainer -- training log is here.
Wow. So far, it appears I haven't lost that much. Highlights of the week include my first speedwork since November – 3200m at tempo effort for 6:40 pace, and my first (sort of) long run – 10 miles at 8:30 pace. I'm pleasantly shocked.
Interestingly, it seems that I've retained most of my aerobic fitness, and most of my strength; what I've really lost is neuromuscular conditioning. I grow mentally fatigued of running far before I feel physical fatigue, and even the slightest uphill incline is a real challenge. I see hills and strides in my future. But, I do know that neuromuscular fitness is the quickest to be recovered, so this isn't much of a concern at all. Yay!
Monday: In the morning, "13.5 miles" of pool-running, including a "track 800s workout" of 10x3:00 at hard effort, with 1:00 recovery, followed by full recovery, and then 25 minutes at aerobic effort.
In the evening, a weights session with a personal trainer, followed by 30 minutes easy pool-running for "3 more miles".
Tuesday: In the morning, 7 miles outside, followed by "9 miles" – 1:30 hours easy pool-running. The running was a "faux" workout – I warmed up for 20 minutes, then did some running drills and strides with others. However, I then skipped the actual workout that they were doing, and instead spent another 40 minutes running, including jogging circles up and down a hill (for the DC peeps – I did this loop). I averaged ~8:30 pace for the 7 miles.
Wednesday: In the morning, "14 miles" of easy pool-running – 2:20 hours. In the evening, 30 minutes on the arc-trainer plus a yoga class.
Thursday: In the morning, upper body strength-training and then "12 miles" - 2 hours easy pool-running.
Friday: In the morning, 3.5 miles on land. This was my first land speedwork in 3 months – 1.25 miles warm-up, drills and strides, then 2 miles at tempo pace (13:19, for 6:40 pace). It was tempting to do at least another mile repeat, but I didn't want to get greedy. So I did a quarter-mile cool-down, then hopped in the pool for "9.5 more miles", including finishing the tempo workout with 2x15:00 at tempo effort with 1 minute recovery (1:20 total time in water).
Also did a Pilates class in the afternoon.
Saturday: A "long run" of 3:15 hours in the pool – did most at easy pace, but did 25 minutes at aerobic effort towards the end. Followed with strength-training.
Sunday: In the morning, 10 miles easy outside (8:29 pace); in the afternoon "9 miles" in the pool – 1:30 hours easy pool running.
A "journey" involving running in place in the deep end. Quite possibly I've gone off the deep end.

A while back, I was assigned to work on a project on which I needed to integrate with another JMS system. As I searched the web for some detailed tutorials, I didn't find any detailed tutorial that could help me. Eventually I figured out all the pieces I had the design and implement in order to get such JMS-to-JMS bridge integration. I decided to summarize the things I learned in this article, not only for my own record keeping purpose, but also helping others who needed similar information. I assumed audiences know the technologies such as spring, and jms.
The intention of this article is to provide a detailed tutorial on the following topics:
• Software required for this article.
• How to publish a Message to queue and consume it.
• How to bridge one Open-JMS to another ActiveMQ-JMS.
I hope readers will enjoy this article! If you have any questions of comments, please leave it in the FAQ section.
ActiveMQ is an open source, Apache 2.0 licensed Message Broker and JMS 1.1 implementation and Enterprise Integration Patterns provider which integrates seamlessly into Geronimo, light weight containers and any Java application. Apache ActiveMQ is fast, supports many Cross Language Clients and Protocols, comes with easy to use Enterprise Integration Patterns and many advanced features while fully supporting JMS 1.1 and J2EE 1.4.
ActiveMQ provides bridging functionality to other JMS providers that implement the JMS 1.0.2 and above specification. A JMS bridge can be co-located with an ActiveMQ broker or run remotely. In order to support JMS 1.0.2 there is separation between Queues and Topics.
• OpenWire for high performance clients in Java, C, C++, C#
• Stomp support so that clients can be written easily in C, Ruby, Perl, Python, PHP, ActionScript/Flash, Smalltalk to talk to ActiveMQ as well as any other popular Message Broker
• full support for the Enterprise Integration Patterns both in the JMS client and the Message Broker
• Supports many advanced features such as Message Groups, Virtual Destinations, Wildcards and Composite Destinations
• Fully supports JMS 1.1 and J2EE 1.4 with support for transient, persistent, transactional and XA messaging
• Spring Support so that ActiveMQ can be easily embedded into Spring applications and configured using Spring's XML configuration mechanism
• Tested inside popular J2EE servers such as Geronimo, JBoss 4, GlassFish and WebLogic
• Includes JCA 1.5 resource adaptors for inbound & outbound messaging so that ActiveMQ should auto-deploy in any J2EE 1.4 compliant server
• Supports pluggable transport protocols such as in-VM, TCP, SSL, NIO, UDP, multicast, JGroups and JXTA transports
• Supports very fast persistence using JDBC along with a high performance journal
• Designed for high performance clustering, client-server, peer based communication
• REST API to provide technology agnostic and language neutral web based API to messaging
• Ajax to support web streaming support to web browsers using pure DHTML, allowing web browsers to be part of the messaging fabric
• CXF and Axis Support so that ActiveMQ can be easily dropped into either of these web service stacks to provide reliable messaging
• Can be used as an in memory JMS provider, ideal for unit testing JMS Can be used as an in memory JMS provider, ideal for unit testing JMS
OpenJMS is an open source implementation of Sun Microsystems's Java Message Service API 1.1 Specification
• Point-to-Point and publish-subscribe messaging models
• Guaranteed delivery of messages
• Synchronous and asynchronous message delivery
• Persistence using JDBC
• Local transactions
• Message filtering using SQL92-like selectors
• Authentication
• Administration GUI
• XML-based configuration files
• In-memory and database garbage collection
• Automatic client disconnection detection
• Applet support
• Integrates with Servlet containers such as Jakarta Tomcat
• Support for TCP, RMI, HTTP and SSL protocol stacks
• Support for large numbers of destinations and subscribers
This tutorial requires setup and configuration of the following software packages:
• JDK 1.5 (or higher).
• Open Jms 0.7.7 download link< http://openjms.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
• Apache ActiveMQ 5.1 download link http://activemq.apache.org/activemq-510-release.html
I also recommend the use of Eclipse IDE. But, for this tutorial, all work can be done using a simple code editor (like UltraEdit32, Crimson Editor, or Notepad), Command Prompt For my own convenience, this tutorial was created on Windows XP. And it should be relative easy to be migrated to other platforms.
Install JDK on Windows XP is super easy, just download the MSI installer, and then install it either default to "Program Files" or directly to "C:\". After installing JDK, it is recommended to configure the system variables:
1. Create system environment "JAVA_HOME" and point it to the JDK base directory (i.e. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-1.5.0_17 or C:\jdk-1.5.0_17).
After configuring the system variable, open a Command Prompt and type "java -version". The output will indicate the version of JDK installed in the system. This should help verify the success of JDK installation. After the verification, close the Command Prompt.
Install OpenJMS is also easy, download the binary executable archive file from the Open JMS website ( http://openjms.sourceforge.net/downloads.html). Then unzip openjms-0.7.7-beta-1.zip the archive file to "C:\". This will unpack the archive file to "C:\ ". "C:\ openjms-0.7.7-beta-1" will be the base directory of OpenJMS
Install ActiveMQ is also easy, download the binary executable archive file from the Apache ActiveMQ website (http://activemq.apache.org/activemq-510-release.html). Then unzip apache-activemq-5.1.0-bin.zip the archive file to "C:\". This will unpack the archive file to "C:\ ". "C:\ apache-activemq-5.1.0 " will be the base directory of ActiveMQ

Before compile the code you have to set the required jar files to classpath
c:\jms>set CLASSPATH=.;<OPEN_JMS_INSTALL_DIR>\lib\jms-1.1.jar; <OPEN_JMS_INSTALL_DIR>\lib\openjms-0.7.7-beta-1.jar;%CLASSPATH%
c:\jms>javac SimpleMessageSender.java
D:\jms>set CLASSPATH=<ACTIVEMQ_INSTALL_DIR>\activemq-all-5.1.0.jar;%CLASSPATH%
Open the <ACTIVEMQ_INSTALLED_DIR>/conf/activmq.xml file.
Add the following code after the </transportConnectors> element.
<p><jmsBridgeConnectors> <jmsQueueConnector name="OpenJMSBridge-Inbound" jndiOutboundTemplate="#remoteJndi" outboundQueueConnectionFactoryName="ConnectionFactory" localQueueConnectionFactory="#localFactory"> <inboundQueueBridges> <inboundQueueBridge inboundQueueName="jmstojmsBridgeQueue"/> </inboundQueueBridges>
Open the <OPENJMS_INSTALLED_DIR>/config/Openjms.xml file.
Comment it out the following code.
<p> <!-- Connector scheme="rmi"> <ConnectionFactories> <QueueConnectionFactory name="JmsQueueConnectionFactory" /> <TopicConnectionFactory name="JmsTopicConnectionFactory" /> <ConnectionFactory name="RMIConnectionFactory"/> </ConnectionFactories>
NOTE: If you don't want to comment the above code, you should modify the JMX listening port in ActiveMQ because by default activemq is listening 1099 port number. The same port number is also listening openjms rmi connector.
Step1: Copy Open-JMS jar files to <ActiveMQ-INSTALLED_DIR>/lib directory.
Step2: Start Open-JMS using the following batch file.
<openjms_install_dir>\bin>start startup.bat
Step3: Start ActiveMQ-JMS using the following batch file.
<activemq_install_dir>\bin\start activemq.bat
Step4: run the SimpleMessageSender class using the following:
java SimpleMessageSender "This is a Sample Message"
SimpleMessageSender output on console
Open another cmd window and set classpath and java path and run SimpleMessageListener class.
java SimpleMessageListener
SimpleMessageListener output on console:
This is all the Java code you need to write to publish and consume java message. Let's examine the activemq.xml jmsBridgeConnectors elements:
jmsBridgeConnectors : is the root element for jms bridge connectors.
jmsQueueConnector: A Bridge to other JMS Queue providers.
jndiOutboundTemplate: used for locating the Connection Factory for the ActiveMQ Connection if the localTopicConnection or localTopicConnectionFactory is not set.
outboundQueueConnectionFactoryName: used to initialize the foreign JMS Connection if localQueueConnection is not set.
localQueueConnectionFactory: used to initialize the ActiveMQ JMS Connection if localQueueConnection is not set.
inboundQueueBridge: Create an Inbound Queue Bridge.
inboundQueueName:The foreign queue name to receive from. If more information about these elements please visit the following link ActiveMQ.

5 Thanksgiving Credit Lessons
This post originally appeared on Credit.com.
November is here and that means one thing: You survived the diet-destroying, cavity-acquiring Halloween and now you only have three more events to look forward to for the rest of the year — Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve.
Thanksgiving is a time of turkey and stuffing and football and post-dinner napping. It's also a time to teach us some reminders about boosting our credit score. Here are 5 Thanksgiving-inspired tips to help you with your credit:
Tip #1: You Can't ONLY Eat Pie for Thanksgiving
If you were to take an informal poll around the dinner table, most people would trash the turkey and just have three servings of pie. But no one actually does that because you need to eat other things. Likewise, good credit comes from scooping different types of credit onto your "plate" — so make sure you hold a combination of installment and revolving credit card accounts.
[The Credit.com Forum: Your Credit Questions Answered]
Tip #2: Rake Up the Leaves Early
If you wait to rake up the leaves, your overly-critical brother-in-law will mention it and then the snow will cover the leaves and your lawn will look awful in the spring. Don't wait to clean up your leaves! Rake your leaves early before everyone gets to your house for Thanksgiving. Likewise, the best time to rebuild your credit score is right now. It can be tempting to wait until the new year to rebuild your score but today is the best day to get started!
Tip #3: After Dinner, the Job Is Only Half-Done
Thanksgiving preparation is a lot of work. Then you eat… and most people disappear home or on a walk afterward. But there is a mountain of pots and pans and dishes left in the kitchen and they still need to be cleaned up. Likewise, once you have achieved good credit, you have done only half the job. Now you need to maintain it. Tackle your credit maintenance in the same way you tackle those dirty Thanksgiving dishes — one step at a time.
[Free Resource: Check your credit score and report card for free before applying for a credit card]
Tip #4: Don't Forget the Leftovers
Thanksgiving always produces enough leftovers to last through the New Year. But what are leftovers really? It's the food that people didn't want at the table. Likewise, you have credit accounts that you use regularly (like your mortgage and one or two "main" credit cards) but you also have credit accounts that are just like leftovers — barely touched. Make sure you use these accounts from time to time to keep them contributing to your credit score.
Tip #5: It's All About Family
Thanksgiving sounds nice but is really quite stressful and absolutely terrible for that diet you're trying to stick to. So why do we do it each and every year? It's really about family. We love them and family is important. Likewise, you don't rebuild your credit just to have good credit. You do it for a reason — to have the credit to get that loan to buy that car or that house. There's a bigger, more important reason that makes the work of credit building all worthwhile.
Thanksgiving is a time we look forward to being with family and friends and eating delicious food while the leaves turn color outside. This Thanksgiving, get inspired with these 5 tips to build (or rebuild) your credit!

As America's Mercury Seven astronauts were launched on death-defying missions, television cameras focused on the brave smiles of their young wives. Overnight, these women were transformed from military spouses into American royalty. They had tea with Jackie Kennedy, appeared on the cover of "Life" magazine, and quickly grew into fashion icons.
Annie Glenn, with her picture-perfect marriage, was the envy of the other wives; JFK made it clear that platinum-blonde Rene Carpenter was his favorite; and licensed pilot Trudy Cooper arrived with a secret that needed to stay hidden from NASA. Together with the other wives they formed the Astronaut Wives Club, providing one another with support and friendship, coffee and cocktails.
As their celebrity rose-and as divorce and tragedy began to touch their lives-the wives continued to rally together, forming bonds that would withstand the test of time, and they have stayed friends for over half a century. THE ASTRONAUT WIVES CLUB tells the story of the women who stood beside some of the biggest heroes in American history.

In this entertaining and quirky throwback, journalist Koppel (The Red Leather Diary) revisits the ladies who cheered and bolstered their men to victory in the U.S. space program from the late '50s through early 1970s, revealing public triumph and rarely private agony. Koppel looks at the history of the race to space, starting with the Mercury Seven of April 1959, and focusing on the wives: e.g., Louise Shepard (wife of Alan), Betty Grissom (Gus) and Annie Glenn (John), young women who wore teased hair, bright lipstick, and cat-eye sunglasses, and towed numerous small children. The wives had to be gracious to the Life magazine reporters who invaded their homes, concealing unpleasant domestic details, such as marital discord, philandering husbands, and unseemly competition with other wives. The wives were invited to live at or near the Langley, Va., Air Force base, where the astronauts trained before relocating to Houston (aka Space City, USA) in 1962; the women socialized with each other, toured the White House with Jackie Kennedy, and watched their husbands' launches on TV together over champagne and cigarettes. Some missions ended in tragedy, such as when a failed test flight in 1967 resulted in the deaths of Grissom, Ed White, and Roger Chaffee. The Gemini and the Apollo missions followed, compelling the wives of legendary astronauts Collins, Aldrin, and Armstrong, among others, to endure seeing their husbands go on dangerous moon missions. This is truly a great snapshot of the times. Agent: Larry Weissman. (June)
The women of Togethersville
There's just something about the early '60s: the drinks, the conservatism, the consumerism, the Cold War. And the astronauts. "Mad Men" fans and history buffs alike won't want to miss a new book about a relatively unexplored aspect of this era: the lives of the astronauts' wives. NASA encouraged the women to be "thrilled, happy, and proud" of their space-bound men, but really they experienced so much more.
We meet the Mercury Seven women in the first chapter of The Astronaut Wives Club, and author Lily Koppel does a nice job of staying close to their stories. By the time you see the women's faces in the pictures, you'll feel like you're a member of the gang. Amazing anecdotes include Annie Glenn's refusal to visit with Lyndon B. Johnson following the delay of John Glenn's launch. Unbelievably, NASA tried to get John Glenn (while still loaded in the rocket) to persuade Annie to participate in the impromptu press conference. Glenn let them patch him through in a conference call and then said, "Annie, if you don't want to visit with him, I'll back you a hundred percent." Other wives—and marriages—fared worse under the awesome weight of instant fame, enormous wealth and death-defying missions.
For readers already familiar with the space program, these stories will deepen the portraits of the astronauts, and not always in flattering ways. (Don't miss the fight between Buzz and Joan Aldrin on their European tour.) The wives faced incredible pressure and often banded together in the midst of it: serving champagne following liftoff, conducting a press conference on the lawn following landing; living in the densely astronaut-populated corner of Texas nicknamed "Togethersville"; suspecting (usually rightly) that their husbands were cheating on them with "a cookie on the cape"; raising their children largely on their own. And while the wives formed lasting bonds, competition and envy also shaped their interactions from the earliest days. As one wife recalled, "We were complete traditionalists: hats, gloves, entertaining machines, eyes glued on husbands' careers."
Reading The Astronaut Wives Club, you might find yourself shaking your head and thinking, "Could this be real?" It almost feels like a dream, and occasionally like a nightmare. But for these women it was life, complicated and messy, adventurous and emotional. It's hard to believe no one has already written their story, and this reader is glad Koppel finally did.

Hey, I'm working on it
See you!
Announcing an open call for reprint submissions for my next anthology, The Mammoth Book of SF Stories by Women, to be published in late 2014 by Running Press (USA/Canada) and Constable & Robinson (UK). Its bite-size summary: "an anthology of powerful, important science fiction stories by women, showcasing the unforgettable contributions made to the genre in recent decades."
Genre: Science fiction.
Word count: Up to 10,000 words.
Publication history: Must be previously published, from around 1980 onwards, and available for reprint in late 2014.
Multiple submissions: Up to 3 stories.
Payment: 2c/word (USD) on publication in late 2014, plus contributor copies.
Deadline: 30 November 2013. I will respond by the end of January 2014.
Submit to: alexmacfarlane [at] gmail [dot] com — put MAMMOTH WOMEN in the subject line.
Important: I am only interested in stories written by women.
I take a very broad definition of 'science fiction'. If you feel that your work is at the boundary between science fiction and literary/historical/fantasy/other genres, please send it to me. (If you know that your work is, say, a secondary world fantasy about elves or a contemporary fantasy about vampires, please don't waste my time.)
I want the anthology to encompass the full range of the world's women, in the authors and in their stories. I welcome submissions from all women: women of all cultural and linguistic backgrounds, women of all countries, women of all religions, women of all sexualities, trans and cis and genderfluid women, women of all abilities, women of all classes.
Stories do not require a specifically feminist or female-centric approach. I am simply interested in excellent science fiction written by women. However, stories that contain sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, cissexist, ableist and other -ist/hateful/hurtful elements that go unquestioned by the narrative will not be accepted.
Some particular areas of interest:
– the role of women in science in the past, present and future around the world (eg: Sofia Samatar's "Girl Hours")
– gender that goes beyond the binary
– futures rooted in the cultural breadth of the present
– families
– science, space, wonder
– large stakes/scope, personal stories, everything in-between
– beautiful prose, non-linear and experimental narratives
This is not a conclusive list. If you have a science fiction story that does completely different things, please send it to me. Surprise me. Delight me. I want the anthology to encompass a wide range of approaches to and interpretations of the genre.
Stories need not be in SFWA "pro" markets. Authors need not be widely published. I intend to include major authors and authors who should be major. That could be you. Please send me your work.
It does not matter if the story is still available online.
I also welcome recommendations. Got favourite SF stories by women that you think I must read? Please let me know. If you're able to provide a link to the story, even better.
Editors and publishers, I would love to read your authors' stories. If you're able to provide an epub/mobi/PDF of your anthologies/collections/magazines, I would be delighted to read them. I'm happy to look at print copies too.
Please put MAMMOTH WOMEN in the subject line of all emails, whether submissions, recommendations or queries. Thank you!
Hey, I'm working on it
See you!
Will you be considering flash fiction?
– Keyan
Where do we send submissions, please?
May we send multiple stories?
Sorry about that–just reread the guidelines & saw "up to 3."
Any thoughts on format? Single/double spaced? Fonts? Size? Or does that get worked out if a story is accepted? And thanks for providing an amazing opportunity!
In an effort not to send you things you aren't interested in… Are you looking for just straight-genre science fiction or would science fiction with a romance or erotic co-plot be of any interest to you? I've already pulled two of my straight genre works out of the files for submission, but I hesitate to pass this along or to offer any of my cross-genre works without knowing your aim/vision. Thanks in advance.
[…] The Mammoth Book of SF Stories by Women is to be an anthology of reprints of science fiction stories written by women only. The anthology will be published by Running Press in the US and Constable & Robinson in the UK. Submissions must be previously published, and must be legally available for reprint in late 2014. Stories that are available online are acceptable to submit. […]
Is the upper limit of 10K firm as the max you want to see. or is that the max word number you'll pay for? I have one that's 13K. (I have some others that fall within the guidelines, but this one I'd like to send even if the payment didn't apply to the last 3K words.)
Just wanted to let you know that a story I submitted is live today in "The Moon" Magazine, http://moonmagazine.org/robin-kirk-the-dark-army-2013-11-02/
I do hope you will consider stories on the lighter side. I just sent you two, both of which incorporate humorous elements. My philosophy is that anything that makes you laugh or smile – as long as it's not at someone else's expense – can't be all that bad.
I will be submitting a previously published story, but I have reworked it a bit since it was published. Would this be a problem?
Thanks in advance for your reply!
I have five stories which might be suitable, so I have to chose. If a story's already been in several anthologies, is that a plus ('cos lots of people like it) or a minus ('cos lots of people have already read it)? And does it make a difference if one of those anthology sales was to the Mammoth Book of Time Travel SF (by Robinson Books)?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Alex, I was wondering if you let writers who submit stories know that you've received them. I know other prose outlets do that, but I hadn't heard from you about two stories I submitted on 11/8. My stories were the "Ad Astra Travel Agency" and "Mr. Silky."
Are you considering stories previously printed in another language than English?
Would you consider very short flash fiction of one or two paragraphs? And if so, can I send more than the 3-story limit since I have 4 or 5 of these?
Out of curiosity, would you ever consider doing a Mammoth Book of Fantasy Stories by Women if the opportunity arose?
Sorry, I save this call then forgot about it. Are you still accepting stories? I have one called "Sweetheart" published originally in IAMFSF, now in a collection. probably considered magic realism, Latina. Interested?

Bidders may protest the awarding of DWSD contracts to Lakeshore
Two competitors with Lakeshore TolTest Corp. could lodge bid protests before the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department within days, after the department's governing board awarded Lakeshore $60 million of contract work and then reassigned it to a different company.
The Board of Water Commissioners last week awarded Lakeshore two three-year sewer lining and repair contracts worth $30 million each, for the city's east and west sides, and a separate authorization measure to assign those two contracts from Lakeshore to Lakeshore Global Corp.
Lakeshore Global, an entity that shared a corporate address and some principals in common with Lakeshore TolTest until recently, remains based in Detroit and is managed by Avinash Rachmale, former chairman and CEO of Lakeshore TolTest, sources told Crain's.
Lakeshore TolTest, or LTC, has been headed by Chairman-CEO Grant McCullagh since late 2012 and submitted the original two contract bids to DWSD sometime in mid-2013. It relocated its headquarters to Chicago a few months ago.
McCullagh did not respond to requests for comment last week. Adi Dalvi, a director of business development for Middle East/North Africa oil and gas programs at LTC, deferred comment to Andrew Haliw, executive vice president and general counsel at Lakeshore TolTest, who also did not respond to requests for comment.
Audrey Young, strategic communications adviser to Lakeshore TolTest at Holland & Knight LLP, also declined to comment publicly on the Chicago move or separation of companies, but said she does not represent Lakeshore Global.
A main concern for both companies is that the company that bid on the contracts isn't the same one that will perform on it, which appears to violate the terms of a request for proposals DWSD put out on both contracts last year.
Gayl Turk, Blaze director of business development, and Michael Jacobson, an attorney for Inland Waters at Southfield-based Jaffe, Raitt, Heuer & Weiss PC, said the companies will decide shortly whether to file a bid protest of the Lakeshore award.
"I know Lakeshore has a settlement with the DWSD that was supposed to pay out in installments and I understand those aren't done yet," Turk said. "So they're evaluating a company they have an interest in. That was just one of the things that seemed irregular to me."
Among the others, Jacobson said, is that Lakeshore TolTest was able to reassign its previous bid to someone else after submitting it, and that Lakeshore Global did not have to disclose records on its bonding capacity, financial status or personnel, as the other bidders have done.
The contract requirements in DWSD's bid solicitation last year state that "no modification or revision to any proposer's proposal form ... will be accepted, nor will a proposer be allowed to withdraw its proposal and submit another proposal for the work," once the deadline for bids has passed.
"They're not following their own rules. That was a part of the bid package, that the proposer cannot be modified," Jacobson said. "And Lakeshore Global is not the proposer. So what the department did is make the allowance, to say, 'Lakeshore TolTest, you stay on as the proposer, but you can somehow assign your proposal after the fact to someone else.' "
Competitors had seven days to respond after the water board's contract decision last Wednesday.
Lakeshore was also one of 14 companies DWSD suspended in December 2011 from contracting with the department as nonresponsible bidders, based on their connections to the so-called Kilpatrick enterprise.
The company challenged the suspension, but Lakeshore and two others later agreed to withdraw from DWSD bids for one year.
Lakeshore Global then won a three-year, $21.8 million contract last October with Lakeshore to provide supplemental staffing and help manage corrective maintenance and related construction at sites such as water treatment plants and stations.
But that contract is now on hold, according to Detroit Emergency Manager Kevyn Orr's office.

Will the Ethics Executive Become Another Officer on Executive Row?
Does your organization need a dedicated ethics executive? Here are three reasons to urge your CEO to consider one, says Joe Malec, St. Louis chapter president of the Information Systems Security Association:
To assist with regulatory compliance. An ethics officer can work with the company's top executives to ensure compliance with legislation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. An ethics officer can also develop and implement ethics training programs and then monitor their effectiveness so top management can measure the results.
To improve the company's reputation and public perception. Firms like MCI have created ethics officer positions to rebuild company reputations. Proactively hiring an ethics officer may prevent problems from occurring in the first place.
To provide a way for employees or others to report issues. It's the ethics officer's job to create and implement an infrastructure for reporting and managing misconduct, ethical issues and inquiries. Such systems could include e-mail addresses, anonymous phone and fax numbers, and Web pages.

Can Anyone recommend Local Toyota Deisel shop/parts?
Hi all,
It looks like there wasn't enough anti-freeze in the coolant on my Troopy. That Cold snap a couple of weeks ago caused it to freeze (kept thinking I should put in a block heater...). So far it only looks like a cracked oil cooler cover (it is cast aluminum). But I can't say for certain that there isn't more damage yet. So it could be a big repair... Does anyone know a local source for Toyota Deisel parts (2H with a turbo), also can anyone recomend a shop to work on this, if it turns out to be a bigger job than I can do? I know that the 2H was used in large forklifts, so I figure that there is a good chance someone in the front range knows the engine, even if they don't know Troopys... Thanks in advance for any advice. Best, Abe |
Diesel....not much local.
Hugh at Safari Ltd? perhaps could wrench on it. http://www.safari-ltd.com/ Robbie may want the work as well Jerry could probably get you the parts at Boulder Toyota

Sorry ABE, I will be in NM for the next 10-14 days working on several projects. One thing that if you have not done, that I would do is tarp it real good and thaw it out before any more damage is done. If you have a propane or kerosene heater, warm it up for a few hours and drain what you can out of the block. If you have broken a cover with expansion of the coolant, I would bet you have displaced a freeze plug or two, as well as maybe hurt the radiator. Any how they are a tough engine, but I would try and get what you can out the block and head, radiator. This also would allow you a chance to see if it leaks out of some other areas before it get worked on.
Good luck Robbie |
Thanks for the advice everyone!
Thanks a bunch for the extra advice Robbie. Would you have any interest in working on the truck when you come back, or do you only work on 80's & such. It isn't my only driver (in fact I am still working on getting it registered), so there is no time crunch. The truck was already pretty low on coolant, as the last time I drove it (before the cold weather), the top radiator hose came off somehow & it poured a lot of coolant out of it then before I noticed. I actually had figured that between being really low on coolant (room to expand if it did freeze) and also being a mix of coolant/water that it woudl be safe. But apparently that was a stupid assumption. I will see what extra coolant I can get out of the truck today. Should I just throw a tarp over the top of the engine, or beneath, or what? You know now that i think about it, I was really stupid on this one, as I even had the truck parked facing directly into the weather/wind. Even just parking the truck in the other direction might have helped... Oh well. Thanks again for the advice. Best, Abe |
Hi everyone,
I pulled the lower radiator hose & got a ton of fluid out of both the radiator & the block. It was really, "coolant colored". then I pulled the drain plug out of the block & got very little fluid. So I put cardboard around it & started up a heater with a blower & let it sit for a while. Some fluid has come out, but not a ton, & it is really warm under the hood now. So I am hoping that it had minimal fluid in it & I just screwed myself by not worrying about all parts of the engine. The heater is stilll running so I am hoping to get more fluid (or not, whichever is better), but who knows. Anyone have any other ideas? thanks, Abe |

text: It seems you're not quite up-to-date with the developments in 21st-century grammar. There is actually no need for the category "conjunction" at all nowadays; it's replaced by the two distinct primary categories "subordinator" (formerly "subordinating conjunction") and "coordinator" (formerly "coordinating conjunction"). The most central members of the subordinator category are "that", "whether", and one use of "if" when it can be used in place of "whether", as in "I wonder whether/if she is OK". These words, which you call function words, are meaningless words whose role is to mark the clause they introduce as subordinate. By contrast, words like "because", "when", "before", and "as", traditionally viewed as conjunctions, are now analyzed as prepositions because they are not semantically empty markers of subordination; they have independent meaning and introduce head + dependent constructions.

Saturn at three different seasons
Filed under pretty pictures, Cassini, amateur image processing, Saturn
In 2006, the Sun shone up from the south, illuminating the south pole and casting a huge shadow onto the northern face of the globe; Saturn's northernmost latitudes had a noticeably methane blue color (the same color as Neptune). As the season progressed, the shadows marched southward. As of October 2009, the Sun had crossed Saturn's ring plane, so the ring shadows form a dense black stripe just to the south of the rings. At the same time, the deep methane blue of the northern latitudes has faded. The left two images were made from data archived in the Planetary Data System; the image on the right is composed of raw images. The 2006 image has been mirrored left-to-right in order to make the sense of illumination consistent from picture to picture. The 2006 image includes Enceladus atop the rings; the 2007 one includes Rhea; and the 2009 one includes the shadow of Mimas, perched just above the rings near the terminator.
Original image data dated on or about October 18, 2009.

On May 8th, the tigress Cinderella was finally released back to the wild in the Bastak Nature Reserve in Jewish Autonomous Province! These entire time specialists were closely watching its every step and we keep on receiving the good news from the reserve.
The coordinates received through a satellite from Cinderella's collar allowed us to follow the movements of a tigress, and have even shown the sites of her first hunting. After the release from the enclosure where a regular food was provided by the keepers, animals might have troubles with finding prey by themselves. On this stage it was especially important to register the fact of Cinderella's successful hunting in new conditions. The route of tigress's movements in the reserve, with stops for 2-3 days, allowed specialists to track down some of her kills. Several badgers and a wild boar became the first prey of a tigress. The recent coordinates from her collar also confirmed the facts of successful hunting. Having verified that in natural conditions Cinderella behaves as a normal wild tiger, the employees of Inspection Tiger are going to leave their post in Bastak and delegate responsibilities for tiger tracking to reserve's rangers.
In the meantime we will keep on following the fate of the tigress, and support the rehabilitation of the three tiger cubs that still reside in the Rehabilitation Center for Rare Species.
Recently the two cubs (brothers) were moved to former Cinderella's enclosure. They are doing well according to the keeper and already got comfortable in the new open-air cage. Like Cinderella they avoid people whenever someone gets to the center or approaches the enclosure to give food they hide in the remote secluded part of their new home. In June the specialist are going to start their "hunting training" by providing the prey, rabbits for the beginning.
The third cub remains in the separate enclosure. He also gains weight and acts like a wild animal that can be released into the wild in future.
We would like to thank all our supporters who made the release of Cinderella possible through donations at GlobalGiving! In spite of a cruel destiny prepared for the small orphaned tiger cub, and thanks to aspiration of specialists to save and rehabilitate the rare animal, Cinderella got her chance for a normal life. In spite of pessimistic predictions of some experts claiming that the tigress should be placed in a zoo, she roams freely in the protected forest.

Short Cake, in the Original Farmers Market, is a worthy place to satisfy a craving for something sweet. The bakery-cafe is a collaboration between Amy Pressman, who also co-owns burger spot Short Order, located a few steps away, and Nancy Silverton of Pizzeria Mozza. Hourie Sahakian does the baking, including whipping up an impressive array of mini pies, scones, bars, muffins, tarts, teacakes, and croissants, but I tested the bakery's temperature with something simpler: a chocolate chip cookie ($2).
The fact that it was called "Nancy's Favorite" (as in Nancy Silverton) piqued my interest, but it was the discs of dark chocolate from TCHO that sealed the deal. Unlike the cookie from Rockenwagner, the chocolate wasn't evenly dispersed throughout the cookie, but concentrated into discs approximately the size of a quarter. Some bites were mostly the crisp, buttery batter, while others were full throttle chocolate.
The cookies were crisp around the edges, and become chewier the closer you get to the center. They're great as a walking around snack, but better paired with a caffeinated beverage from Single Origin, the on-site coffee bar. The TCHO mocha, a cold brew, or "Aunt Nancy's Shakerato" (four shots of espresso, blended up with honey and milk) would be perfect.

I actually disagree with a previous reviewer - to me (under florescent lights), my Kimber-covered nails match the bottle pictured above. Kimber is the perfect hybrid of pink, red and orange with a shimmery metallic finish. love it!
I recently purchased this polish after looking at the swatch above. The swatch is nothing like what the polish really is. Here it looks more pink, but once applied it`s magneta with gold shimmer & in some light comes off as a reddish color. Overall it`s a pretty color & I really do like it. It applied easily & only took two coats.
I`m not typically a hot pink kind of girl, but Kimber is wonderful!
It`s not a straight hot pink or fuscia; it definitely has some red to it. The gold shimmer really makes it pop. I found I needed two medium-thick coats or three thin for full opacity.
I`ll be wearing Kimber a lot this Spring and Summer, and I love it for both hands and feet!
I recently purchased all of the new Surf colors because I LOVE metallics! This is a great pink/redish/goldish color. It will be a great color in the summer months too. I used it for a pedicure.
