The Graphics FairyTo celebrate 4th of July I am reposting about James Starr. James was a Boston Tea Party rebel and member of the Sons of Liberty.
[Originally published November 11, 2011]
In fact, our daughter could apply for membership to the Daughters of the American Revolution, through no less than four different lines.
Wondering if she would be interested in this particular part of her heritage, I brought up the subject one evening. Surprisingly, Starr became excited about the entire process and wanted to see where it would lead.
With that in mind I decided to focus my research on the family with the earliest links to the nation. That is when I stumbled upon James Starr, my husband's 3rd cousin 6x removed.
While reading about this ancestor, the terms "Sons of Liberty" and "Boston Tea Party" kept appearing in the hit list.
Sites referring to James Starr being a participant in this historic event are Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum, Boston Tea Party Historical Society and Old South Meeting House.
The most significant piece of information about James soon came to light. The following expert is from the Google Books title The Historic Boston Tea Party of December 16, 1773 by Caleb A. Wall, published 1896.
James Starr was a descendant in the sixth generation from Dr. Comfort Starr, one of the first settlers in Dedham in 1635. James was born in New London, Ct., May 2, 1740, being two years older than Hewes and twenty years older than Peter Slater.
He was a cooper by trade, of a strong healthy physical constitution, well qualified to endure hardships. He enlisted at 18 in the army, was in the French and Indian war in 1758, and was at Montreal when it surrendered to the British. After the war he returned to his native town of New London, Ct., went then to Boston, and then settled in Bridgewater.
Inspired by the battle cry of "freedom" as one of the Sons of Liberty, he was one of the party of "Mohawks" who threw over-board the tea in Boston Harbor on the night of Dec. 16, 1773, and loved in after years to tell the story of how, with his cooper's axe, he helped to knock open the tea chests and tip their contents into the water. At the opening of hostilities with the mother country, he enlisted for the naval service, and was taken prisoner and carried to New York, where he remained eleven months.
At the close of the war he returned to Bridgewater, sold out there in 1802 and went to Jay, Franklin Co., Me., where he remained until his death, Nov. 20, 1830, aged over 90 years.
He was grandfather of the late Wm. A.S. and Rufus L. Smythe of Worcester, their mother being his daughter. Our venerable fellow citizen Wm. E. Starr, now in his 83rd year, is a descendant of Dr. Comfort Starr through another line. A daughter of Wm. A.S. Smythe is wife of A.L.D. Buxton, residing at 50 Cedar street, Worcester.
Sounds like James was quite the rebel!
I would like to thank The Massachusetts Historical Society for allowing usage of the broadsheet used in the post. When I emailed the society to ask for permission they quickly replied:
"The Massachusetts Historical Society is always pleased when bloggers are interested in the material made available on our website. Whether you quote the document or use the image available online, we only ask that you link back to the image/text quotation on the MHS web page so that readers of your blog will be able to source the material correctly."
Happy 4th of July!

If there's anyone you want a thumbs-up approval from on a movie about sex therapy, it's Dr. Ruth Westheimer, who hijacked the mic at the end of the "The Sessions" preem at Dolby 88 Screening Room in Gotham.
"You!" she said, pointing at Helen Hunt at the Thursday night screening. "I want you to wear a contraceptive!"
She also expressed concern over John Hawkes' almost gaunt physique in the film, and demanded he take off his top to prove he is healthy.
"I will do it if no one takes pictures," Hawkes replied.
"On a very serious note, every psychology class, anybody who has dealings with sexual education should see that film," the doctor concluded.
Later, over dinner at Circo, the Fox Searchlight pic's real life sex surrogate, Cheryl Cohen Greene, reminisced about meeting director-writer Ben Lewin for the first time.
"When he came to my home, he came with (executive producer) Julius Colman," she began. "They sat in my kitchen and they were asking me all sorts of questions and I said, 'Wait a minute, I have to check my notes because it was 1986 when I worked with Mark O'Brien.'"
"I think one of the questions the film really answers is, what's the difference between a sex surrogate and a hooker?" Lewin said during the Q & A. "I'm not sure hookers keep these kinds of notes."

Going to Synagogue Is Good for Health and Happiness, Baylor Researcher Finds
Follow us on Twitter:@BaylorUMediaCom
Contact: Terry Goodrich,(254) 710-3321
WACO, Texas (June 24, 2013) -- Two new Baylor University studies show that Israeli Jewish adults who attend synagogue regularly, pray often, and consider themselves religious are significantly healthier and happier than their non-religious counterparts. They also report greater satisfaction with life.
"These findings nicely reinforce the inherited Jewish folk wisdom that going to shul (synagogue) is 'good for you,'" said Baylor University researcher Jeff Levin, Ph.D.
Levin holds a distinguished chair at Baylor University, where he is University Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health and Director of the Program on Religion and Population Health at the Institute for Studies of Religion.
Commitment to Jewish religious belief and practice is strongly associated with greater physical and psychological well-being, Levin said. One study, published in Psychology of Religion and Spirituality, an official journal of the American Psychological Association, used 2010 data on 1,849 Jewish adults from the Israeli sample of the European Social Survey. The other study, published in the Journal of Happiness Studies, used 2009-10 data on 991 Jewish adults from the Israeli sample of the International Social Survey Programme's Religion III survey.
These new results confirm findings from other studies of Jews in Israel and the U.S. conducted over the past few years. Seven such studies have been published by Levin using data from a variety of national and global surveys. They have consistently identified facets of Jewish religious expression as among the most reliable predictors of measures of physical and mental health and overall well-being.
Baylor University is a private Christian university and a nationally ranked research institution, characterized as having "high research activity" by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The university provides a vibrant campus community for approximately 15,000 students by blending interdisciplinary research with an international reputation for educational excellence and a faculty commitment to teaching and scholarship. Chartered in 1845 by the Republic of Texas through the efforts of Baptist pioneers, Baylor is the oldest continually operating university in Texas. Located in Waco, Baylor welcomes students from all 50 states and more than 80 countries to study a broad range of degrees among its 11 nationally recognized academic divisions. Baylor sponsors 19 varsity athletic teams and is a founding member of the Big 12 Conference.
Launched in August 2004, the Baylor Institute for Studies of Religion (ISR) exists to initiate, support and conduct research on religion, involving scholars and projects spanning the intellectual spectrum: history, psychology, sociology, economics, anthropology, political science, epidemiology, theology and religious studies. The institute's mandate extends to all religions, everywhere, and throughout history, and embraces the study of religious effects on prosocial behavior, family life, population health, economic development and social conflict. While always striving for appropriate scientific objectivity, ISR scholars treat religion with the respect that sacred matters require and deserve.

Please do not attempt to replace the battery of your Swarovski watch by yourself. Please entrust your watch to an authorized Swarovski retailer that offers Swarovski watches, to a watchmaker, or to a jeweler who will replace the battery for you.Back to top

Swarovski watches are embellished with premium quality Swarovski crystals.
The metal components of Swarovski watches are made of 316L stainless steel, an extremely durable metal alloy that is virtually immune to rust, discoloration, and corrosion. Nickel, composed of encapsulated nickel molecules, is also part of this composition. The alloy is therefore classified as anti-nickel allergenic. All materials used for Swarovski watches comply with European regulations on nickel release. In spite of this, in some very rare cases, allergies to Swarovski watches may occur due to high skin sensitivity to nickel. If this happens to you, the company recommends that you cease wearing Swarovski watches.Back to top

Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the first day of classes at Plymouth State University, where I'm teaching now.
This is my eleventh year of teaching. Nonetheless, as ever, the first day looms as something both terrifying and exciting. This year is terrifying for new reasons, most having to do with teaching college for the first time, but last year was a very different environment, too, and I adjusted to that well enough. After the first class or two, the terror will go away, and probably some of the excitement, too, as we settle into a routine, but the unknown is always nerve-wracking.
I've spent much of this week preparing for classes. If you're curious about the sorts of things I'm doing, I've put some information up here. Those pages will grow and change over time, of course, and at least one of them is mostly a placeholder right now, waiting for me to get more time to add to it.
Meanwhile, if you're looking for something to watch, Reprise came out on DVD today in the U.S. I've got it on my Netflix list and will be curious to see if I respond to it as strongly now as I did when I saw it in the spring, when it was, for reasons that are somewhat mysterious to me, exactly the movie I needed.
Also, the Great and Glorious Hannah Tinti, editor extraordinaire of One Story, has welcomed her first novel into the world: The Good Thief. I bought a copy at a local bookstore; if it's made it to New Hampshire, it ought to be just about everywhere by now. I hate going into a book with huge expectations, but Hannah's just about the best editor I've ever worked with, and I loved her story collection Animal Crackers, so it's impossible for me not to expect marvels and wonders galore. We shall see...

Oxfam welcomes European aid for West African food crisis but warns more is urgently needed
International aid agency Oxfam welcomes the European Commission's new aid package of 24 million euros (USD$30 million) for Niger and other countries in the Sahel region of West Africa, which was announced today in Brussels.
The announcement demonstrates the renewed commitment of the European Commission to help alleviate the suffering of more than 10 million people affected by the current food crisis in West Africa, but Oxfam warns that more needs to be done by EU governments and other donors to avert disaster in the drought affected region.
Alongside the recent visit to Niger by UN chief for humanitarian affairs John Holmes, the decision by the European Humanitarian Aid Commissioner Kristalina Georgieva to visit the country this week, sends a strong signal to the international community that more aid is needed for the region. The aid agency considers the slow response by international donors as unacceptable and stresses that the urgent needs of cattle herders must be addressed across the whole region, from Mali to Chad.
Millions of people need urgent assistance in Niger. The government has requested 146 million euros from the international community to organize nationally an adequate response to this crisis. So far the government has only received 52 percent of this appeal. In Chad, where two million people face severe food shortages, UN agencies like the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) have only received 20 percent of the money they need from donors.
The hunger gap season, a traditionally fragile period before the next harvest is starting now in the Sahel, and food stocks and fodder are insufficient in many countries to meet the needs of the population, and the livestock.
Mamoudou Hassane, from Mooriben, a farmer organization partner of Oxfam in Niger, said: "The situation on the ground is deteriorating quickly. Efforts are underway but knowing the extent and duration of the disaster, they are far from what is required."
Mamadou Biteye, the Head of Oxfam's humanitarian response in West Africa, said "The fresh cash provided by the European Commission today is an important contribution towards managing this crisis. But with 10 million people in urgent need of assistance across several countries, EU governments must follow suit if they're serious about avoiding a disastrous loss of life across the Sahel region."
Oxfam has used $4.5 million of its reserves to launch its humanitarian operation in the Sahel region, but needs $17.5 million to fund its work across the region. The agency has launched recently in different cities and villages some activities: A cash for work program, animal feeding distribution, de-stocking which means buying weak animals at above market price and making the meat available to local population, and food distribution targeting the most vulnerable people.

How to start an automatic watch?
It's very important to wind an automatic watch properly, prior to its use. The initial wind provided may only last a short while, making the watch appear defective once it stops ticking. To ensure your watch functions to the fullest of its capabilities, wait for it to stop and then wind the watch counter-clockwise 15-20 times. Next, push the crown back, screwing it down to preserve the water-resistance. *Be mindful that excessively winding the watch may cause damages to the movement, so don't overdo it. Unlike self-winding watches, the crown doesn't need to be wound on quartz models. If it still isn't ticking, simply bring it by for a battery replacement.
Why the watch is running slow?
A watch can lose time for various reasons including, but not limited to a dying battery, which will cause the second-hand to begin jumping across several seconds at once instead of passing each individually, magnetization, causing tension between small parts within the movement and natural friction from the watch being worn. If the watch is a mechanical model (Automatic or Manual-wind) this can also be a sign that the watch needs to be overhauled.
How to use a chronograph?
Operating a Chronograph requires using the pushers on the side of the case. The top pusher is used to start and stop the chronograph hand while the one at the bottom is used to reset it. Once the top pusher is pressed, the hand will run continuously, which you can track using the accompanying sub-dial. In order to reset the chronograph, it has to be stopped first. Otherwise the button will do nothing when pressed.
How to set the date & time?
Whether you have a screw or push-down crown, setting the date and time is simple. If its a screw-down, unscrew it by turning it downward, counterclockwise prior to following these steps. Pull out the crown to the first integer to operate the date alone, allowing the time to continue ticking. Pulling the crown out farther, you're then allowed to adjust the time, which also shifts the date after each 24-hour cycle. Once you have your watch set, simply push the crown back in all the way and screw it fully closed to preserve its water-resistance. *Do not change the date when the watch is between 10PM-2AM because the movement can be damaged.
How to ensure the watch is waterproof?
For a watch, water is the worst enemy. To make sure you protect your watch properly check these factors before wearing it. First, see what kind of crown you have. If it is a push-down crown the watch is definitely not waterproof, but water-resistant. If the watch has a screw-down crown, then it may be waterproof, but you should check your model's specifications to be sure. *Most importantly, no matter what kind of crown you have, you should check the watch for damages to the case, which will allow water to reach the movement regardless of whether the crown is closed or not. However, if you have any doubts, its best to have the watch water-tested, which will give you a conclusive result.

My great great grandmother Barbara Turner, née Barbara Murray, died at Amble in Northumberland 15 May 1901. This was 5 years to the day after the death of her father George Murray. Barbara was born in Alford in Aberdeenshire, lived part of her life in Coldstream on the borders and lived her married life and raised her son in Amble. She is buried in the Turner family plot in Amble East Cemetery.
This post about great great granny Barbara has the honour of being a milestone in my blogging, bringing me to a total of 100 posts and 45 pages. It also counts as a catch-up post for having missed my postaday yesterday 14th May.

Banana Cupcakes with Dulce de Leche and Chocolate
52 Weeks of Baking: Week 52 — Gooey Banana Cupcakes
52 Weeks of Baking: Week 52 — Gooey Banana Cupcakes
This year I decided that I would have a New Year's resolution that I could stick to. I thought about it for a while and eventually landed on baking. So with my trusty mixer and collection of pans, I set off on a 52 week baking adventure. It's been a fun journey and there have been some ups and downs, but we've finally arrived at week 52.
This week I had a bunch of bananas slowly rotting on my counter. Normally, I would turn this sort of thing into a loaf or two of banana bread. However, I wanted to end this series on a more spectacular note, and plain old banana bread just wouldn't cut it. So I brainstormed and came up with Banana Cupcakes with a Dulce de Leche filling and Chocolate Buttercream frosting. They came together quickly, and were a real treat to my sweet tooth. To get the recipe,
Note: If you don't like dulce de leche, then try your own variation with peanut butter, chocolate or simply omit.
Gooey Banana Cupcakes with Chocolate Buttercream
A recipe in progress by YumSugar
Makes 18
3 overripe bananas plus 1 more for decoration
splash of milk (optional)
2 3/4 cups flour
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2 sticks of butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
dulce de leche filling, recipe follows
chocolate buttercream, recipe follows
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- In a food processor, puree bananas until smooth. Depending on your bananas, you may need to add a splash of mixture so that the consistency is nice and smooth. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk or sift flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together. Set aside.
- In a mixer or large bowl, cream butter and sugars together until well mixed, and airy.
- Add eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is fully incorporated before proceeding.
- Stir in vanilla, followed by banana puree.
- Line a cupcake tin with cupcake liners. Scoop an even amount of dough into each cup. I filled them to the top and had enough for 19 cupcakes.
- Bake for about 16 minutes. A wooden skewer inserted in the middle willl come out clean and tops are a light brown in color.
- Remove cupcakes from oven and cool in tins for two minutes. Transfer to cooling rack.
- When cupcakes are completely cooled, cut a cone shape from the center. Set aside.
- Spoon enough dulce de leche to fill the cavity you have created.
- Top with cone piece, to create a nearly seamless look. Repeat with remaining cupcakes.
- Spoon some frosting on top of each cupcake, spread out with a spatula.
- Top each cupcake with a thin slice of banana.
For filling:
1 14 oz-can sweetened condensed milk
- Fill the bottom of a double boiler (or pan if using bowl/pan method), halfway with water. Bring to boil and then reduce heat to medium. Pour milk into the top of the double boiler (or bowl if using/bowl/pan method). Heat until milk has thickened and has become a dark caramel color. This will take about 2 hours. Every 30 minutes give it a stir and replenish water on bottom if necessary. When finished, remove from heat and cool completely.
For frosting:
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 tsp vanilla
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
- In a small bowl or mixer, cream butter.
- Mix in cocoa powder (you can add more or less depending on taste).
- Mix in vanilla.
- Mix in half of powdered sugar, followed by half of the milk.
- Mix in the rest of the powdered sugar. Blend well. Add the rest of the milk and mix completely. If your frosting is too thin, add more sugar (or cocoa depending on taste). If it is too thick, add more milk.

As curator of the Davis Museum at Wellesley College, Elaine Mehalakes dreamed of commissioning a piece of music to complement a visual installation. And because her museum is on a college campus, Mehalakes knew just the composer who could make this happen: Jenny Olivia Johnson, an assistant professor of music composition and theory at Wellesley.
Johnson brought an unusual asset to the project. Not only is she an acclaimed composer and percussionist, she also has a neurological condition called synesthesia, which she describes as "experiencing sound as a color or a touch or another sensory modality." So the challenge of creating what she calls a "sound picture" for the museum was irresistible.
Knowing of Johnson's auditory connection to color, Mehalakes suggested they begin by studying Sol LeWitt's 1991 series of etchings, "All Combinations of Red, Yellow, and Blue, with Scribbles." The series gave Johnson just the visual inspiration she needed to start thinking about the sound composition to go with it.
"And then I decided to take it a step further and actually build an instrument," Johnson said. "As a composer, I wanted to create an interactive sound experience that would change based on how someone interacted with the materials. I thought about a lot of different approaches, and then came up with the idea of using glass jars for a bell-like sound."
The instrument Johnson eventually created consists of seven glass bell jars fitted with contact microphones and colored LED lights that resemble the veins and arteries intersecting in the human heart.
In the exhibition, a viewer can touch the instrument to trigger a sound and also to cause the lights of the glass hearts to dance. The sounds vary depending on how many jars are touched, how soft or hard the touches are, and how much composite sound is generated in the space.
And because the bell jars evoked for Johnson a favorite poet, the late Sylvia Plath, the composer decided to make the work a tribute to the onetime Wellesley resident.
Coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Plath's death, the installation, "Glass Heart (bells for Sylvia Plath)," opened Wednesday and will remain on exhibit through June 9.
A concert of Johnson's original multimedia presentation, called "Glass Heart and Other Stories," takes place on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. in Wellesley College's Houghton Chapel, also on the campus at 106 Central St. in Wellesley.
Additionally, the composer will give a gallery talk March 19 at 3 p.m. All events are free. For more information, call 781-283-2051 or go to www.davismuseum.wellesley.edu.

A gold star for Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray, who predicts that Apple will sell
iPads this weekend.
And a big Bronx Cheer for Shaw Wu, Katy Huberty, Andy Hargreaves, and all the other wimpy analysts who refuse to stick their necks out.

I visited the Maryland State Archives in Annapolis. I was looking specifically for militia and volunteer Revolutionary War records for a client in hopes of getting birth information of his ancestor or additional family data. It's not everyday that we find an ancestor in the states during the Revolutionary War, but believe me, there were a lot of Tucker's.
Needless to say, the search became a needle in the haystack, but the experience was quite successful. The Maryland State Archives' staff was the most helpful and knowledgeable group I have worked with in a State Archive (and I have visited many for research). The volunteer, that day, was resourceful and had experience in searching for that allusive soldier. She was able to suggest many overlooked options. Unfortunately, time was limited to too few hours and after giving the Tucker family about 5 hours Pro-Bono (do genealogist get to use this word?), my search had to come to an end. Anytime, I go to a new State Archive, I give my customers about 2 hours free. I chop this time up to my "education – learning the repository, retrieval system, and the online website and resources." But, in this case, I was so intrigued; the customer got a full five hours, in addition to his paid time. (I applied the customer's paid time to the NARA and DAR research I promised to do in DC.)
I was guided to the Maryland online site to begin my research. I would suggest you do this prior to going: http://www.msa.md.gov/. I also suggest you review the "Reference & Research" site: http://www.msa.md.gov/msa/homepage/html/refserv.html. Be sure to go to "Special Collections." http://speccol.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/speccol/catalog/cfm/dsp_online.cfm
This is where you can obtain more information on church records, maps, newspapers, etc.
Your choices are many and for this reason you should limit your search prior to arriving, based on your time. It will take a couple of days to get access after you set up a username password online. Note, however, at the Archive you have immediate access.
For me, I count this visit as educational hours; and for the client, well, he got a lot more than he bargained for and that's always a plus. What's even better is I'm familiar with the Maryland Archives, (in Spanish I would still use conocer not saber) and although I didn't find that Tucker needle, my research for the client at the Md. State Archives, was thorough.

ATS Bible DictionaryGrass
Sometimes means any green herbage, Isaiah 15:6, and sometimes the usual food of cattle, Psalm 104:14. The quick growth of grass, its tenderness, and its rapid combustion when dry, have furnished the sacred writers with some of their most appropriate illustrations, Psalm 90:5,6 92:7 103:15,16 Isaiah 40:6-8 51:12 James 1:10 1 Peter 1:24. All sorts of grass and small shrubs are still used in Syria for fuel, on account of the scarcity of wood, Matthew 6:28-30. Travelers in that country often see grass growing on the housetops, the roofs being flat and coated with earth trodden hard. Such grass quickly withers when the rainy season is over, Psalm 129:6,7 Isaiah 37:27.
Easton's Bible Dictionary
(1.) Hebrews hatsir, ripe grass fit for mowing (1 Kings 18:5; Job 40:15; Psalm 104:14). As the herbage rapidly fades under the scorching sun, it is used as an image of the brevity of human life (Isaiah 40:6, 7; Psalm 90:5). In Numbers 11:5 this word is rendered "leeks."
(2.) Hebrews deshe', green grass (Genesis 1:11, 12; Isaiah 66:14; Deuteronomy 32:2). "The sickly and forced blades of grass which spring up on the flat plastered roofs of houses in the East are used as an emblem of speedy destruction, because they are small and weak, and because, under the scorching rays of the sun, they soon wither away" (2 Kings 19:26; Psalm 129:6; Isaiah 37:27).
The dry stalks of grass were often used as fuel for the oven (Matthew 6:30; 13:30; Luke 12:28).
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary1. (n.) Popularly: Herbage; the plants which constitute the food of cattle and other beasts; pasture.
2. (n.) An endogenous plant having simple leaves, a stem generally jointed and tubular, the husks or glumes in pairs, and the seed single.
3. (n.) The season of fresh grass; spring.
4. (n.) Metaphorically used for what is transitory.
5. (v. t.) To cover with grass or with turf.
6. (v. t.) To expose, as flax, on the grass for bleaching, etc.
7. (v. t.) To bring to the grass or ground; to land; as, to grass a fish.
International Standard Bible EncyclopediaGRASS
mo'-ing, (gez, "a shearing," "cut grass"): In Psalm 72:6 the good king's rule is said to be "like rain upon the mown grass," to start the new growth (compare 2 Samuel 23:4 Hosea 6:3). "The king's mowings" (Amos 7:1) were the portion of the spring herbage taken as tribute by the kings of Israel to feed their horses (compare 1 Samuel 8:15;; 18:5). "After the king's mowings" would denote the time when everybody else might turn to reap their greenstuffs (BTP, II, 109). The term "mower" (qatsar, "to dock off," "shorten") in Psalm 129:7 the King James Version is rendered "reaper" in the Revised Version (British and American), and in James 5:4 the Revised Version (British and American) has "mow" for amao (the King James Version "reap").

Swear wordsFriday, April 30th, 2010
There is this stigma against swear words, that they somehow make or signal that the speaker uncultured; or that they are associated with uncouthness, or associate the user with the underbelly of society; and that they betray a lack of thought or eloquence on the part of the user. There are a lot of different spins on this idea. I think that any way you cut it, this is a fallacy.
I have heard that intelligent people should be able to think of a different way to express oneself than to use swear words. That's not correct. Swear words have been shown to evoke certain emotional responses in listeners that hearing pseudo-swears don't exhibit. For example, compare "what the eff?" with its more vulgar equivalent, and you will find there is indeed a difference. The emotions evoked by using and hearing swear words are ineffable. And let me tell you, "ineffable" is a frakking awesome word.
I found this post on a New York Times blog, and I just have to quote from it:
People need special words to convey emotion, which is, by nature, ineffable. For those who use them, swear words are linked to emotion in a visceral way. People who speak more than one language report that they always curse in their native tongue; they can say swear words in a second language but they don't feel them — the gut link to emotions just isn't there.
Yes, I think there is a time and a place for using intense language. If we use curses everywhere they lose their power, and we will probably lose the ability to express ourselves to the best of our abilities. But they fill a valuable niche in the vernacular of a cultured human, and one which necessarily cannot be filled through other means.

I ordered a phone case for my cell phone and found exactly what I was looking for. I called to place the order, was placed on hold for 20 minutes even though the recording said a one minute hold time. Finally I got through and was told my purchase which arrive on Monday, (I called on a Thursday). I waited to call until a week from Monday.
When I called I was then told that the product was on back order, it would be in on Wednesday to call back today which is Friday. According to them the manager has called 3 different vendors and can't locate the case. I cancelled my order and found the product on another site. Hopefully I will get the credit next week as they promised. IF not I will notify my credit card company. Why didn't they just say the item is on back order to begin with? They did offer the case but only in pink which I am not interested in.
FLORIDA -- I ordered a cell phone case on 1-06-09. My card was billed on the same date and so far no case. They will not answer e-mails, and phone calls promise that it would be in (2 weeks ago). If I had done a quick Google search it would be apparent that they are not a company that you should do business with. Bottom line -- stay away from EliteXtreme!!!
Just a warning to buyers: After ordering from EliteXtreme, and having them not ship in the time stated on their website (1-3 business days), I started researching the company online and found several very negative reviews. My experience: They shipped about 10 calendar days after my order. I called their telephone number, but always got a busy signal during the hours they were open (I called several times), and when calling at night, just got a message to call them during the day.
One of the cell phone covers I ordered is NOTHING like the color shown in the picture on the website - I got baby blue instead of aqua. Also I ordered (stupidly) a hands free kit that doesn't work. I decided to return both items. On their invoice, EliteXtreme says to go to http://www.elitextreme.com/rma.html to find and complete the return form. Guess what? When you type in that address, it simply goes to the EliteXtreme homepage. No return form. After searching through the site map, and doing a word search, I couldn't find a return form.
I consider myself lucky that I even receive what I ordered, because there is no way to reach anyone to change or return an order. They seem to be tied into a lot of websites, but it doesn't mean they give a good product. I would strongly encourage everyone NOT to purchase from them.
FLORIDA -- I ordered from this company on February 1st. They indicated that they received the order and the money was deducted from my bank account. I have not received the product 15 days later, cannot get through on the customer service line. I have called and called and called. I have sent 3 emails and faxed them. I have received NO RESPONSE. DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY!!! ELITEXTREME IS BAD BAD BAD.

Adding Metadata Using Annotations
An annotation is a simple, expressive means of decorating Java source code with metadata that is compiled into the corresponding Java class files for interpretation at run time by a JPA persistence provider to manage persistent behavior.A metadata annotation represents a Java language feature that lets you attach structured and typed metadata to the source code. Annotations alone are sufficient for the metadata specification -- you do not need to use XML. Standard JPA annotations are in the javax.persistence package.
For more information, see Chapter 10 "Metadata Annotations" in the JPA Specification.
For more information, see Section 12.2 "XML Overriding Rules" in the JPA Specification.
Standard JPA 2.0 annotations are in the javax.persistence package.
EclipseLink-specific JPA annotations are in the org.eclipse.persistence.annotations package.
Using Metadata Annotations
Use annotations to configure the persistent behavior of your entities. For example, to designate a Java class as a JPA entity, use the @Entity annotation as shown in this example:
@Entity public class Employee implements Serializable { ... }
You can apply annotations at the following levels:
- Class
- Method
- Field
EclipseLink defines a set of proprietary annotations to take advantage of EclipseLink-specific features. You can find them in the org.eclipse..persistence.annotations package. These annotations are not available through the use of JPA metadata.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Using Annotations
Using annotations provides several advantages:
- They are relatively simple to use and understand.
- They provide in-line metadata within with the code that it describes; you do not need to replicate the source code context of where the metadata applies.
The primary disadvantage of annotations is that the metatdata becomes unnecessarily coupled to the code; changes to metadata require changing the source code.
