OSGi, Ivy and WebBeansFriday, October 24th, 2008
With 3.2.1, we've started working on our OSGi integration with Resin and based on that work, it looks like we'll have a slight different approach to OSGi than most everyone else. Since OSGi was originally designed for embedded applications, the design is slightly different than the requirements for an application server.
From our perspective, OSGi provides two benefits:
- a jar versioning and dependency system
- a service registration system
The versioning and dependency of OSGi gives us a chance to add more sophisticated classloading to Resin. For example, we can add a generic deployment director for all library jars in ${resin.root} and create the classloaders as needed at the web-app level. This could mean avoiding all WEB-INF/lib jars, reducing the .war size and improving memory efficiency.
Since OSGi's service system overlaps with our use of WebBeans for service configuration and injection, we're working on merging the two systems. OSGi services will export to the web-app's WebBeans context, and you can use WebBeans inside an OSGi bundle to define services and components. By combining the two specifications, we're hoping to add more power and flexibility to both, and also make documentation consistent, since there will be one unified service system.

DescriptionIn Emerald Dragon the player takes control of Atrushan, a blue dragon who lives in the Dragon World. One day, he and his friends discover a ship wreck near a mountain. After examining the wreck, the dragons find a human child - a little girl. The wise White Dragon, the leader of the dragons, tells them that her name is Tamryn and that she will play an important role in their lives. The girl doesn't remember anything, and grows up together with the dragons. But when she turns fifteen, she decides to go back to her homeland - the Human World. Soon after Tamryn has left, Atrushan realizes he can't bear the separation, and asks the White Dragon to allow him to go and find Tamryn in the Human World. But a mysterious evil curse has been placed on the dragons - they can't appear among the humans in their true form. Atrushan agrees to become a human and goes to the Human World - to find Tamryn, and also a way to remove the curse...
The game has many traditional Japanese-style RPG gameplay elements: Atrushan and his party travel around the game world, visit towns, descend into dungeons, and level up in an automatic fashion. One of the game's distinguishing features is its battle system. Characters are able to freely move over the battle field; the range of their movement depends on their agility rating. Only Atrushan can be given precise instruction during each turn. The player is able to position the characters strategically near or far away from the enemy, attack from different sides, and assign general strategies to the party members. Another notable feature of the game is the absence of a "world map": the game's locations are seamlessly connected with each other.
The PC Engine (TurboGrafx) CD version of Emerald Dragon contains additional dialogue, scenes, and voice acting.

ReferencesEmerald Dragon contains a lot of mythological references - mostly to Iranian mythology from the Zoroastrian period. For example, the super-powerful weapon Avesta is in fact the holy book of the Zoroastrian religion, Vendidad is a part of this book, Saoshyant is the future savior of the world in Zoroastrism etc. The name of the main hero, Atrushan, is also an Iranian word: atrushan was a ritual fire altar among the followers of Zarathustra (Zoroaster).

Attention U.S. visitors to Cuba: Bring home all the Cuban rum and cigars you want.
The new regulations issued by the
The changes follow a series of steps taken since President Obama and Cuban President
"The Treasury Department has worked to break down economic barriers in areas such as travel, trade and commerce, banking, and telecommunications," Treasury Secretary
The most noticeable change for most Americans, however, is the removal of the five-decade ban on importing Cuban rum and cigars. The Obama administration partially lifted that ban already, allowing Americans traveling directly to Cuba to come back home with up to $100 in rum and cigars in their carry-on luggage. Now, that monetary restriction is removed and U.S. citizens can come back with as much tobacco and alcohol made in Cuba in their checked baggage.

PARIS (AP) — France's foreign ministry says a French journalist detained in Iraq last month has been freed. Activists for media freedom and France's government had decried the detention.
Nadir Dendoune was detained in Baghdad on Jan. 23 for allegedly taking photos in restricted areas without necessary permits.
A French diplomatic official says journalist Nadir Dendoune left Iraqi custody Thursday and the French ambassador took him to the French Embassy in Baghdad. The French government says Dendoune's assistant Haqi Mohammed was also freed.
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists had urged Iraqi authorities to release Dendoune. The committee has said ambiguities in Iraq's 2011 media law have created unnecessary barriers regarding access to information.

Thieves! Buddha head stolen from Indian Museum
Antique thieves have struck again, this time in the heart of Kolkata. A rare, sandstone head of Buddha, brought to the Indian Museum from Sarnath, was stolen from the museum's Archaeology Long Gallery on the ground floor on Wednesday afternoon.
The fifth century artefact, about 24 cm in height, is considered an artistic masterpiece of the Gupta period.
It was apparently a neat, clean and easy job — the thief or thieves (police don't know yet whether it was one person or more) just walked in, lifted the the glass case covering the artefact and walked off with it.
Well. At least they noticed it right away.
Discovery weaves a picture of life for villagers
EXCAVATIONS at a village have unearthed the graves of weavers from the eighteenth and nineteenth century, giving researchers an insight into the lifestyles of the workers at the time.
Derek Alexander, archaeologist with the National Trust for Scotland, said two digs had taken place at different locations in Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire.
"There was an excavation at the Weaver's Cottage, and a separate one which was instigated by some rebuilding work along the south side of the graveyard at Kilbarchan West Parish Church.
"They both gave us a chance to look at the history and archaeology of the weaving industry, which played an important role in Scotland's economy," he said.
Experts differ over origin of ancient pictographs
While experts differ over the origins of prehistoric pictographs at Hueco Tanks, most people go there to enjoy the wilderness or take in some of the park's history.
Idalia Sullivan, formerly of El Paso, on Wednesday took three of her nieces on a guided tour that made several stops at some of the rock formations with paintings.
"I climbed the rocks here as a teenager, and came back recently, and was blown away by what I saw," said Sullivan, who was visiting from California. It was the first time her El Paso nieces -- Tamara Hoefner, 15; Kristin Hoefner, 12; and Raven Anchondo, 5 -- had gone to Hueco Tanks State Historic Site.
Antiquities Market update Museums Advised to Check Bible-Era Relics
Experts advised world museums to re-examine their Bible-era relics after Israel indicted four collectors and dealers on charges of forging items thought to be some of the most important artifacts discovered in recent decades.
The indictments issued Wednesday labeled many such ``finds'' as fakes, including two that had been presented as the biggest biblical discoveries in the Holy Land - the purported burial box of Jesus' brother James and a stone tablet with written instructions by King Yoash on maintenance work at the ancient Jewish Temple.
Shuka Dorfman, head of the Israel Antiquities Authority, said the scope of the fraud appears to go far beyond what has been uncovered so far. The forgery ring has been operating for more than 20 years.
This: Golan said in a statement Wednesday ``there is not one grain of truth in the fantastic allegations related to me.'' He said the investigation was aimed at ``destroying collecting and trade in antiquities in Israel.''
You say that like it's a BAD thing. . . . .
China Discovery I Scientists discover ancient sea wharf
Archeologists say that they have found the country's oldest wharf and it is believed to be the starting point of an ancient sea route to Central and West Asia.
The discovery has reaffirmed the widespread belief that the ancient trade route started in Hepu County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, archeologists said at yesterday's symposium on the nation's marine silk road.
After three years of excavation, archeologists have unearthed a wharf that is at least 2,000 years old in Guchengtou Village, according to Xiong Zhaoming, head of the archeological team.
China Discovery II 3,000-year-old woodcarving discovered
The Chengdu Archeological Team discovered a 3,000-year-old painted woodcarving of a head during the second phase of excavation at the Jinsha site's ritual area. It is the oldest and most intact sculpture over its type ever discovered in southwest China's Sichuan Province.
According to Wang Yi, curator of the Chengdu Municipal Museum, the woodcarving was found buried about three meters below the earth's surface.

UF Study: Bigfoot Myth Persists Because It Depicts Humans' Wild Side
There's plenty to debunk about the Bigfoot myth, but people may not listen because they have a love-hate relationship with the gigantic hairy monster, says a University of Florida researcher.
"People express a reverence for the grandeur of the animal and derive meaning from Bigfoot because it represents where we came from," said UF anthropologist David Daegling. "I think Bigfoot depicts the wild and uncultured side of who we are, a side we are both attracted to and repulsed by."
Interesting, but only vaguely archaeology Research Points To New Theory Driving Evolutionary Changes
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas have used canine DNA to identify a genetic mutation mechanism they believe is responsible for rapid evolutionary changes in the physical appearance of many species.
The findings, based on data gathered from hundreds of museum specimens of dogs and from blood samples of volunteered live dogs, offer a new explanation for the sudden, rapid rise of new species found in the fossil record. They also help explain the variability in appearance among individual members of a species, such as the length of the nose in different breeds of domestic dogs.
A mechanism for punctuated equilibirum at last?
There's More to the Mimbres Than the Pottery
The NAN Ranch Ruin in southwestern New Mexico has yielded the "most comprehensive body of information ever gathered at a single Mimbres site," according to author and anthropologist Harry Shafer. This impressive scholarly volume presents findings from 20 years of extensive excavations at the NAN Ranch ruin -- offering new views of the ancient Mimbrenos that once thrived in New Mexico from about A.D. 600 to 1140.
"Mimbres culture is no longer seen as just a culture whose architecture was a poor copy of the ancient Anasazi to the north but with pottery that was unrivaled in terms of its painted imagery and design," Shafer states. "The Mimbres phenomenon was a regional fluorescence in its own right that drew upon resources and people from neighboring groups in the desert and mountains."

text: If Miami Vice's Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas immediately come to mind when looking at Olivier Rousteing's Resort 13 lineup for Balmain, then you're on the right track. South Beach in the '80s was the overarching theme for the collection, as evidenced by the sugary pastel hues and Art Deco influences.You can see glimpses of the city's iconic swimming pool mosaics in the graphic diamond check and arabesque prints that were shown on everything from skinny jeans to knit tops, while the suits, with their broad shoulders, elongated jackets, and slouchy pleat trousers, speak brilliantly to the popular menswear look of that time. On the accessory front, Cadillac-inspired chrome-plate belts and guipure lace open-toe booties offered a hint of the brand's storied subversive edge. The collection as a whole is as hot as the Miami sun, offering plenty in the way of day and eveningwear for the cool girl.--Jessica Baker

Angry husband uses machete to attack vehicle
Wife, male companion were inside vehicle
Angry husband uses machete to attack vehicle
Wife, male companion were inside vehicle
PALM BAY, Fla. —
A Palm Bay man was arrested Saturday after he used a machete to attack a vehicle that his wife and a male companion were in.
Christopher Mordecai is charged with aggravated battery.
According to a police report, Mordecai became angry when he saw his wife and a man inside a vehicle outside his home.
Mordecai is accused of going into his home, grabbing a machete and striking the vehicle several times in the windshield and driver's side door, officials said.
Authorities said there was extensive damage to the vehicle, including broken glass that struck Mordecai's wife.
Investigators said Mordecai's wife had several small cuts on her feet and hands.
Mordecai was taken to the Palm Bay Police Department.

Apple Inc.'s roster of devices is hitting a sales ceiling, underscoring why it's crucial for Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook to deliver the company's first new products since 2010 to revive growth.
Apple shares dropped after the Cupertino, California-based company reported iPhone sales for the holiday season that missed analysts' estimates, in what is typically the most lucrative period of the year for the device maker. Apple also projected revenue in the current period may fall from a year earlier, in what would be the first quarterly sales decline since 2003. Last year, Apple posted its first profit drop in more than a decade.
The figures indicate that demand may be ebbing for Apple's devices -- which were once reliable growth engines -- as competitors flood in with their own smartphones and tablets. Cook said sales in North America were weaker than the company expected, partly because the less-expensive iPhone 5c released last year wasn't as popular as the higher-end iPhone 5s. The stagnating growth is adding pressure for the company to release new hit products, be it a wearable computer or a way for paying for things with an iPhone or a television.
"What we have gotten over the last year or so is impressive products, but they are really enhancements of current products and not necessarily the next new thing," said Jack Ablin, chief investment officer with BMO Private Bank. "Apple investors want the next new thing -- that's the catalyst that people are waiting for."
Shares Fall
Apple fell 8.7% to $502.20 at 9:30 a.m. in New York.
For its fiscal first quarter ended Dec. 28, Apple said it sold a record 51 million iPhones, missing analysts' estimates of 54.7 million handsets. Even after releasing the iPhone through the world's largest carrier, China Mobile Ltd., this month, Apple also said revenue will be $42 billion to $44 billion in the current quarter, compared with analysts' estimates of $46.1 billion. Anything short of $43.6 billion would amount to a sales decline from a year earlier.
Apple's quarterly profit and revenue still beat projections. Profit last quarter was $13.1 billion, or $14.50 a share, little changed from $13.1 billion, or $13.81, a year earlier. Sales rose 5.7% to $57.6 billion. Analysts had predicted profit of $14.07 a share on sales of $57.5 billion, according to the average of estimates compiled by Bloomberg.

olive oil, white balsamic vinegar, cracked black pepper and sea salt
I don't use measuring utensils - so the amount of each ingredient can be adjusted to your liking. For this meal, I make the salad in the bowls they will be served in so I am able to gauge how much of each ingredient I'll use as I layer them. If time allows, chill the salad bowls in the fridge or freezer before compiling the ingredients.
Start by building the base of the salad with a combination of mixed lettuce and and small handful of mache, or lamb's lettuce, on top.
Next I layer on all the ingredients: haricots verts, tuna fish, assorted cherry tomatoes, cucumber, kalamata olives, red shallot, and lastly the sliced egg (which I clearly need a lesson in doing more beautifully!). You could add fingerling potatoes and capers if you like.
Drizzle with olive oil and balsamic vinegar (I am partial to a colorless one from Trader Joe's) and season to taste with cracked black pepper and sea salt.
Voila! Healthy, delicious meal in minutes.
Thanks Julie, and good luck! Readers, give Julie a thumbs up if you like this recipe!

The Bar Mitzvah ceremony is Judaism's second most important ceremony for Jewish males, the first being ritual circumcision on the eighth day of life. While ritual circumcision, or Brit Mila, initiates a male Jewish child into the covenant of his people, the ceremony of Bar Mitzvah initiates a boy into manhood at age 13. Upon reaching this plateau, a young man obtains the rights of Jewish Manhood, including being counted in a Minyan or prayer group requiring at least 10 Jewish males to conduct formal Jewish prayer. It also allows a young man the honor of being called to the Torah, Judaism's most sacred text, and is a major milestone in his Jewish education and preparation towards all the responsibilities of an adult, including marriage and heading a family.

MilfHunter presents Ana Marie in video Undressed to impress
Rating: 2.98
Levi told me about Anamarie, a cordwainer who ran a leather shop with her estranged husband. Levi had dropped off a couple Iguanas he had hunted and he wanted to make boots out of them so he could look spiffy when we go to our favorite country bar. He noticed her flirting with him even though her hubby was hard at work in the back of the shop. Right behind his back, she was really pouring it on so he figured he would make a play for her. He called early and found out her hubby would be out for the day and he rushed over there with me in tow to pick up his new iguana skin boots. They picked up right where they left off and we closed the shop for them to finally knock boots.

FCC (finally) cracks down on BLARING! TV! ADS!
After four and a half years of Rep and Dem squabbles
The US Federal Communications Commission has issued rules requiring television broadcasters and cable and satellite providers to maintain constant volume levels for programs and commercials.
The rules were issued persuant to the Commercial Advertisement Loudness Mitigation Act, better known as the CALM Act, which has been meandering its way through the US legislative process since 2008.
"I never characterized this as saving the Union," said Democratic Representative Anna Eshoo of California, who introduced the House version of the bill, H.R.1084, in December 2009, as quoted by USA Today. "But consumers have been asking for it. We may not have peace in the world, but we may have more peaceful homes."
In a statement issued by her office. Eshoo said, "The law I wrote is simple. The volume of television commercials cannot be louder than regular programming. Households across the country will soon get the relief they deserve from the annoyance of blaringly loud television commercials."
The law may be simple, but its route from its initial introduction to today's FCC rule-making provides a case study of the legislative entanglement hobbling decision-making in today's Congress – even when, as Eshoo notes, "According to a 2009 Harris poll, almost 90 percent of TV viewers are bothered by high commercial volumes, prompting 41 percent of viewers to turn down the volume, 22 percent to mute the TV, and 17 percent to change the channel altogether."
In June 2008, Senator Roger Wicker, a Republican from Mississippi, introduced the first version of the CALM Act, S. 3156, calling his bill "... a common sense approach to a problem that plagues individuals across the nation and will create a more enjoyable television experience," and saying, "I look forward to working with my colleagues to make this legislation a reality."
Wicker, however, withdrew his support in 2010, stating that "... the television industry has been moving in the right direction on commercial advertising audio volume. Therefore, I do not believe government intervention is necessary at this time."
Wicker's withdrawal of support was unsurprising, seeing as how Republican Congress members have been loathe to introduce industry-limiting legislation, especially after Democrat Barack Obama acended to the presidency.
A Democratic senator, Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island, then reintroduced the CALM Act as S. 2847, which was passed in September 2010.
Eshoo's bill had a more straightforward path, being passed in the House by voice vote in December 2009.
Before that vote, however, Republican Congressman Joe Barton of Texas rose to speak in opposition, providing an example of his party's antipathy to government regulation. "While I, too, would like to have someone turn down the TV when it gets loud," he said. "I've already given that job to my thumb. As a result, I only need one Member of Congress at work on this vital problem, not 435" – that being the number of worthies in the US House of Representatives.
"I appreciate Ms. Eshoo's efforts to protect America's ears from loud commercials and our thumbs from arthritis brought on by overuse," Barton said, "but writing a law to do so seems a stretch."
The combined House and Senate bill was subsequently signed by Obama on December 15 of last year as Public Law 111-311; its wording included language that required the FCC to issue its rules within one year after its signing.
The FCC rules are scheduled to go into effect one year from today – four and one half years from Wicker's introduction of S. 3156.
The exact methods for determining television commercial loudness levels can be found in excruciating detail in the Advanced Television Sytems Committee's 75-page "ATSC Recommended Practice: Techniques for Establishing and Maintaining Audio Loudness for Digital Television", more prosaically known as Document A/85:2011 (PDF). ®

May God bless you and your...
I remember Mr. Food on TV back in the 80s when I was little and my mom would be watching the 12 pm news on WKBN Youngstown, and I always got a kick out of the "Ooh, it's so good!" tagline. Watching you later on I saw how you made cooking seem easy and fun, and I could see how you loved your work, coming into our homes. You are certainly missed, Mr. Food!

As per the forums rules, please don't ask for or mention about where to download the (licensed) manga. Also remember not to post or link to any translations of the manga, since this is illegal as well. Posting a synopses or summary is fine (and welcome) but please do not discuss scans, raws, translation groups, etc. Additionally, if you are posting someone else's synopsis (or their translation of a synopsis), then please provide credit were credit is due.
Remember that the manga is licensed, do not post significant parts of the chapter. This stands for pictures and direct translations. Summaries are ok, crops of pictures are ok as well if you want to illustrate your point but this is it.
It's a new week (after a long break), so that means new Naruto spoilers...which are now released....

-This was a good chapter. Such nostalgia came over me near the middle of the chapter. How the kid has changed. Started off as a bratty half-pint with a penchant for mischief and now he's battling Nemo Madara who possesses 7 of the 9 beasts.
-And Kurama's smile made me happy inside. Yeah, granted its a bit creepy but considering what Kurama is, I think this is about as close as we'll get to seeing him praise his knuckle-headed Jinchuuriki. He's been with him since birth basically. The two are practically family.

Nice chapter. Gave us some nice character development, it's a shame kishi didn't bring out the kyuubi/tailed beast development sooner.
Also was it me or did I spot a mis-translation. First flashback Iruka talks about Shadow clones as a graduation test instead of the normal replication technique?

Meh chapter. The flashbacks went a little too long. We have seen Inspirational Naruto overcome the odds many times before. And now he is about to prove the words of Narutism. In other news, what happened to all that backup Shikamaru's dad sent? Or are Kakashi and Gai just that damn fast they beat everyone?
And I am surprised Kishi brought up the Neji/Naruto fight. That took guts to remind fans given what the manga has become. By beating him, Naruto actually proved that Neji was 100% right. Those that are born special surpass those that are not. Stupid Neji didn't realize that he was talking about himself. As a lowly fodder Hyuuga he could never be Hokage or reach greatest. But Neji was right. No matter how hard Naruto worked, it wouldn't have mattered if his daddy and mommy weren't Minato and an Uzumaki. He was born with fate and the destiny to be great. The child of the Toad Sage's prophesy. He was a super child whose daddy was already Hokage and the greatest to ever live. Naruto is greater than even Jay-Z and Beyonce's kid. So why are we rooting for him?
I realize you should never get too high or low with the Naruto character. Progress this week will seem like regression next week. His character is meant to be flawed. The Idiot Hero who will overcome the odds because he believes.
This is why I would like to see the focus move to other characters soon as we wrap up the manga. We've seen way too much of Naruto(and the other superpowered characters like the Kages) and need to get off the roller-coaster of these mini-fights. Give me some Konoha 11 development. I wouldn't mind Sakura actually doing something.

amazing chapter for those of us who have loved this series since day one. I see this mainly as fan service, lol.
I would have loved to have a little less flashbacks and more of what happens next, this chapter makes me mad I don't have a time machine

Better to simply ignore them and let them "die" in peace rather than bringing them back only to fail to impress their fans...
That being said, this was an okay chapter. Seeing the Kage Bushin spew forth from the Yonbi was very funny (and well drawn), and Naruto coming up with a plan just to attack the one weakness of Tobi's control was quite fun and reminded me of Naruto at his best (similar to the recent fight against the dead Raikage). The flashbacks were ultimately unnecessary (Kishimoto would have been better served to show a large 2-page image filled with many different memories/images overlapping each other), but besides that distraction, the chapter was still quite fun.

why the hell didn't Pain/Nagato do this to the kyubi instead of using Chibaku Tensei , after he just finished fighting a whole village , as he was running low on chakra . Tobi said this chapter that Nagato had this power too?
Maybe it has to do with the fact that the powers were seperated between bodies.
still, Tobi said that his own was stronger than Pains outer path, but that just means that Pain probably didn't have the chains

Howling Highlight: Tasting Appleton and Diplomatico Rums
Posted by Arctic Wolf on January 22, 2010
I have said it before, having a blog where I review rum and whisky is great.
It was my pleasure to be invited to a private tasting yesterday hosted by representatives of two wonderful rum companies. Appleton Estate and Diplomatico rums. The line up was impressive, with 7 rums in all and a bonus, a new rum liqueur from Diplomatico, the Hacienda Saruro.
Let me step you through the line up and give you my observations as well as the feedback I was hearing around the tasting table.
The first set of rums, we were given was a direct comparative tasting of Diplomatico Anejo, and Appleton VX. These are the entry level rums for each company, although I cringe at the phrase 'entry level'. The Diplomatico Anejo is a full four years old, and the Appleton VX is a blend of 15 aged rums.
The Diplomatico Anejo showed nice legs in the glass, with a sweet almost floral bouquet of caramel and light cinamon spice. It had a nutty, buttery sweetness and finished long and relatively smooth
The Appleton VX was lighter in the glass, but had a more complex oak aroma. The spices were hotter and sharper with far less sweetness. Orange peel and dried fruit were on the palate with a light brown sugar.
The second set was Diplomatico Reserva and Appleton Reserve.
Diplomatico Reserva, was less floral. It had an oaky taint to it that surprised me. More complex with less butter in the mouth and more of a rough edge to it.
The Appleton Reserve was on the other hand a slightly more mellow version of the VX. The vanilla accent was a little firmer and there was a little polish and craftsmanship showing.
Then we stepped up to the Diplomatico Reserva Exclusiva and the Appleton Extra 12 year.
The transformation in the Diplomatico from the Reserva to the Reserva Exclusiva was startling. Fat legs in the glass, and a beautiful honeyed aroma with accents of mild spices entwined into the rummy caramel. This was sweet and smooth with a full caramel and toasted nut flavour profile.
The Appleton Extra was also markedly different from its predecessor, a hint of chocolate on the nose with a darker richer caramelized aroma. Heavier legs added body to the drink and the palate showed distinctive tones of charred coconut and burnt caramel and brown sugar. The oak was very evident in the mouth and finish.
Finally to top the evening off we were treated to the Appleton Legacy, and the Hacienda Saruro.
The Appleton Legacy was stupendous, with a complexity unmatched by the other spirits. Having gone through the stages from VX to Reserve to the 12 year old Extra, I could taste the signature Appleton flavour profile throughout. As we progressed up the ladder, the complexity of flavour increased to a wonderful climax with the Legacy.
The Hacienda Saruro was an elegant desert and perfect ending drink. Suave and silky with fantastic sweet rum flavour, I found myself secretly pouring a second glass when no one was looking. It is absolutely yummy.
What an evening, what wonderful rum I was allowed to indulge in. I did not make any judgments as when eight rums are consumed in such a short session, it is virtually impossible to assign meaningful scores. I will say that there is a real difference in philosophy between the two rums. Appleton Rums are tangy, complex and oaky with the emphasis on that particular flavour profile, whereas Diplomatico's emphasis is rums that are buttery, nutty and sweet. My sense was that the entire room of guests was very satisfied with both styles.
To help you further I have provided links to several reviews I had completed prior to being invited to this tasting. More reviews will follow as I have been promised samples to review most of the other rums tasted last night.

I would like to thank the wonderful people from Appleton Estate and Diplomatico Rums for inviting me. You treated myself and the other gueats to a wonderful evening!

NH gas pipeline expansion pushedBy DAVE SOLOMON
New Hampshire Union Leader
July 06. 2014 10:05PM
One of the largest operators of natural gas pipelines from western Pennsylvania into New England says expansion of its existing routes is the best way to meet the objectives of the six governors in the region, who've launched an initiative to open the pipeline bottleneck and lower electricity prices.
In a June 27 letter to the New England States Committee on Electricity, William T. Yardley, president of U.S. Transmission and Storage for Spectra Energy, points out that Spectra's two pipelines into New England, the Algonquin and Maritimes Northeast, are already servicing 60 percent of the region's natural gas-fired power plants.
"Any pipeline infrastructure solution that meets (the governors') objectives will ultimately require the expansion of Algonquin and Maritimes," he wrote. "Spectra Energy is eager to submit its regional solution and strategic investment recommendations."
Much of the investment Yardley alludes to would come from a tariff on New England ratepayers, based on the notion that a small increase in electric bills to pay for pipeline will yield huge savings in electric prices down the road.
Spectra's letter gives some insight into the behind-the-scenes jockeying by stakeholders in the wholesale energy market as the governors dangle the proposition of a "socialized" expansion of energy infrastructure in the six-state region.
Yardley suggests that Spectra should help NESCOE craft the request for proposals that will be issued on behalf of the governors' initiative, writing, "We now seek to help define the RFP scope to ensure recognition of the importance of direct interconnects with power generators."
Any Request for Proposals that favors existing interconnections would clearly tilt toward Spectra, which connects to more than half the natural gas power plants in the region.
Expanding the capacity of existing pipeline is the most logical way to go, Spectra argues, because — among other things — it would minimize the environmental impact.
The other major pipeline company into the region, Kinder Morgan, has proposed a 250-mile expansion of its Tennessee Gas Pipeline from New York toward Dracut and Pepperell, Mass., with lateral lines stretching into Nashua and Hollis and the main line stretching into Merrimack.
Kinder Morgan's Northeast Expansion Project, however, has already run into tough local opposition in the Massachusetts and New Hampshire communities where new rights of way for the pipeline would have to be acquired.
Spectra is proposing expanding its Algonquin system in five regional zones that connect to 40 percent of the region's power plants, while increasing capacity on the Maritimes line to support another 20 percent.
The company already has an expansion project underway along the Algonquin line that is being funded by long-term commitments from local gas distribution companies like Liberty Utilities, called the Algonquin Incremental Market expansion (AIM).
"The AIM project will begin to de-bottleneck the pipeline system by the winter of 2016, helping to enhance reliability and soften prices in New England," according to Yardley. "Forward price estimates support this. Current market indications for the winter of 2016-17 reflect a 28-percent decrease in price as compared to this coming winter."
While utility-funded projects like AIM will increase capacity, they will not solve the electric reliability issue, according to Yardley, who called for a more ambitious pipeline expansion to meet the governors' objective. The proposed in-service date for that larger expansion would be November of 2018.

Perhaps next week I will be able to do a live research trip post if I am able to grab a few hours to go to the library or courthouse there, and if I can find an internet connection. But most of my time will probably be spent with family, since I don't have very much of it, so I think I will probably have to put my research desires on hold for a better time. But it will sure be nice to see everyone again. Perhaps I should use the time to interview my great-uncle instead of going to the courthouse or library.

The controversial -- and nudity-filled -- video for Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" has attracted so much attention lately that one might assume it's behind the song's seven-week stint atop the Hot 100, an impressive reign that Billboard described this week as the longest so far in 2013.
But "Blurred Lines" isn't just inescapable online -- it's also a fixture on the airwaves.
According to a press release issued Friday by Thicke's label, Interscope Records, "Blurred Lines" has "broken the record for the highest radio audience ever recorded. As of this week, the track has reached more than 242.65 million listeners" across a number of formats, the label said.
TIMELINE: Summer's must see concerts
In a recent interview with The Times, Thicke claimed that "Blurred Lines," with a jaunty riff he described as "banjo-ish," has even racked up spins on some country stations, though Pop & Hiss has yet to hear that firsthand.
"Blurred Lines" is the title track of Thicke's sixth studio album, which hits stores next week. Read our feature on the singer here and see it in print in Sunday's Arts & Books section.

Throughout the first week of April, the comet is making a wonderfully photogenic pass by the Andromeda Galaxy, M31, presenting astrophotographers at northerly locations with a unique opportunity. The image above was taken on the morning of April 4th, and this deep image was taken on March 30th. The comet passed closest to the showpiece galaxy in the early hours of April 4th UT. The tail continues to widen as seen from Earth's perspective.
The comet is now actually higher before dawn, in the northeastern sky. But the waning Moon is up then (though dimmer every morning; last quarter was on the 3rd). Evening is when northern imagers can catch this departing visitor with no interference from either twilight or moonlight. The farther north of 40° latitude you are the better.
Some recent brightness estimates put the comet at about 4th magnitude, slightly fainter than M31. Other observers say it's slightly brighter than the galaxy. This depends on the darkness and quality of your sky; the comet's head is more concentrated and has a higher surface brightness than the galaxy's inner portion.
As for visual sightings, from my latitude of 43° I could not see it naked-eye on March 30th, though it was still easily visible in my 70mm spotting scope.
From latitude 49° Alan Whitman in Penticton, British Columbia,writes,
"On March 31st with excellent transparency, Comet PanSTARRS was visible with the unaided eye exactly two hours after sunset. It is now in the same binocular field of view as 3.4-magnitude M31, and the comet is about 0.5 magnitude brighter than the galaxy, making the comet about magnitude 3.
"In a 4.2-inch Astroscan at 64x, the broad, fanned tail was about 0.7° long, sharper and slightly curved on the preceeding edge. The pseudonucleus is nearly stellar."

Sandy Stewart had some good news and some not so good news about varieties containing the new Roundup Ready Flex technology at Cotton Incorporated's Crop Management Seminar in Memphis, Tenn.
Stewart, Burch associate professor and Extension cotton specialist with the LSU AgCenter, was reporting on the performance of the Roundup Ready Flex and Bollgard II/Roundup Ready Flex stacked-gene varieties in 2006.
"On average, the new Flex introductions have better fiber quality than the varieties we've been growing the last several years," he said, referring to the technology that allows growers to spray glyphosate over-the-top of resistant varieties up until a few days before harvest.
The not so good news? The Roundup Ready Flex or Bollgard II/Roundup Ready Flex varieties don't always yield as well as some of the older transgenic cotton.
"A lot of people ask how much yield can we give up with Flex cotton?" said Stewart. "I'd be willing to go out on a limb and say it could be as high as 200 pounds. But it can also be from zero to 100 if you plant the right variety. We will gain some cents on quality.
"In terms of loan value, these new varieties will go a little higher than Deltapine 555 BG/RR or Stoneville 5599 BG/RR. But there are no Flex varieties right now that will physically out-yield the best Bollgard-Roundup Ready varieties."
That doesn't mean growers are likely to shy away from the Roundup Ready Flex varieties or that the yield gap between Bollgard/Roundup Ready and Flex varieties won't narrow as more growers transition into the Flex system.
Stewart said only 10 percent of Louisiana's cotton acreage was planted to varieties containing the Roundup Ready Flex technology in 2006. But many of the state's growers "tried a little."
"The growers I've talked to and those who have visited with my colleagues around the Mid-South were happy with the weed control from the Roundup Ready Flex system. By the middle of the summer, people were talking about how many fewer hands they might have to employ if they had a total Flex system."
At the beginning of the season, Stewart said, many growers were saying the new Flex varieties had to yield with Deltapine 555. "By late August, they were saying these new varieties have to yield. I think that's very telling."
He said four or five varieties appear to have risen to the top of the 2006 on-farm Roundup Ready Flex trials in Louisiana. Those include Deltapine 117 B2RF, Stoneville 4554 B2RF, Phytogen 485 WRF and Phytogen 425 RF.
"It seems like anytime you introduce a group of new transgenics, a handful will be the cream of the crop. Based on discussions with my colleagues in Mississippi, in particular, they're seeing the same thing."
Deltapine 117 was in the top four varieties in each of the six on-farm locations in Louisiana with one exception.
"This was in Red River Parish," said Stewart. "It was non-irrigated and it was severely drought-stressed. Everything around there picked about 1,200 pounds per acre, but this grower simply did not catch a rain.
"In this particular trial, we included Deltapine 555. It was a sandy soil and it was drought-stressed and 555 just basically cleaned house. DP 117 B2RF was the earliest variety we had, and it finished near the bottom in this location."
Stoneville 4554 B2RF, which finished a close second across all the on-farm Flex trials, "appears to be one of the most consistent varieties and one of the most manageable across a lot of environments." Stoneville 4554 finished in the top four in the on-farm Flex trials."
Phytogen 485 WRF also yielded well across many soil types while DP 143 B2RF and DP 164 B2 RF, both full-season varieties, produced good yields and good fiber quality.
While the varieties containing the Flex technology may not yield as well as the older transgenics, Stewart believes it's just a matter of time until Roundup Ready Flex and Bollgard II/Roundup Ready Flex varieties dominate the landscape.
"Whether it's the convenience or the weed control, for a lot of different reasons, farmers like Roundup Ready Flex," he said. "I think we're going to transition into the Flex system in the next two or three years. "The comparison with DP 555BG/RR may be important, but in two or three years I don't think it will matter."
Stewart says he does have some issues about the transition. One involves the growing number of entries in the official variety trials conducted by the land grant universities in the cotton-growing states.
"We had 43 early varieties and 26 medium to full-season varieties in the Louisiana OVT trials this past year," he noted. "It is very difficult to come up with a meaningful evaluation when you're testing 69 varieties."
Many of those varieties may never be important to farmers in Louisiana, he said. "I think we need to revisit the official variety trial concept to make sure we provide the information farmers need about varieties that are economically important."
Another issue involves the confusion over the number of brand names that contain the same genetic material from Monsanto. Stewart listed five different brand names that contain the same genetic transformation event, 450001G, for example.
Growers are also concerned about the continuing consolidation in the cottonseed business and that one company is the primary source of the Roundup Ready Flex technology. A big question, he said, is how competitive Stoneville Seed Co., which Monsanto has promised to sell if it completes its proposed acquisition of Delta and Pine Land Co., will be in 2008."

Hull have no new injury or suspension problems and are expected to be unchanged for their home clash with Cardiff.
Teenager Cameron Stewart appears to be a long-term absentee as he awaits the full prognosis on a knee injury sustained in last weekend's draw at Ipswich.
Jamie Devitt replaced Stewart on the wing at Portman Road, but James Harper was manager Nigel Pearson's preferred choice to start in the midweek win at Derby.
Vito Mannone, on loan from Arsenal, returned to the substitutes' bench following a two-month injury lay-off on Tuesday night and is pushing for a return to the starting line-up, but Brad Guzan is expected to continue in goal in his last game while on loan from Aston Villa.
Striker Jay Simpson is anxious to make his first start since the home FA Cup defeat to Wigan in January as the Tigers look to make it just one defeat in 19 league matches.
Cardiff will check on Seyi Olofinjana as the on-loan Tigers man bids to line up against his parent club.
The midfielder, on a season-long deal from the KC Stadium, is struggling with a knee problem sustained in the 2-0 victory over Leicester on Tuesday.
Olofinjana is allowed to play under the terms of his loan, as is Bluebirds defender Anthony Gerrard for the hosts, and the powerful Nigerian even bagged the opener in a 2-0 Cardiff victory when the two sides met in September.
Manager Dave Jones is also waiting on winger Jason Koumas, who has been struggling with illness, but captain Craig Bellamy is fit after a virus kept him out in midweek.
Striker Michael Chopra is again set to heavily strap his foot and be available for selection, while on-loan Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey plays his final game for the Bluebirds before returning to the Emirates.

U.S. safety regulators are probing whether General Motors (NYSE:GM) has sufficient procedures in place to identity a defect that could cause the car to stall or a fire to break out in the trunk.
Continue Reading Below
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's investigation follows a safety recall issued by GM in May of close to 43,000 model year 2012-2013 Buick LaCrosse and Regal vehicles, as well as 2013 Chevrolet Malibu Eco vehicles equipped with its "eAssist" hybrid system.
The Detroit auto maker recalled the cars due to a possible defect related to the circuit board, which if malfunctioning could cause the battery to lose its charge or in extreme cases ignite a fire.
The procedure to find the defect involves stressing the generator control module under extreme conditions to identify potential "GCM non-conformities." Dealers are to perform the test on a certain population of vehicles and replace the GCM if necessary.
However, NHTSA is looking into whether the stress test is sufficient because a fire was reported in one new vehicle after it passed through the test without any alarms prior to being sold.
Safety officials said the fire draws "into question whether or not the procedure can effectively identify" the defect. NHTSA has opened a "Recall Query" to "investigate whether or not the service procedure is sufficient in identifying the safety defect in the subject vehicles."
GM said it remains unaware of any injuries or crashes associated with these vehicles.
"GM is cooperating with the NHTSA in responding to its additional questions about the service procedures involved," the company said in a statement.
GM shares were up 1.7% to $35.24 in recent trade and have risen 21% year to date.

Gov. gives up dog adopted during election
Dog returned to previous owner
Gov. gives up dog adopted during election
Dog returned to previous owner
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. —
Gov. Rick Scott is in the dog house.
The Tampa Bay Times reports Scott surrendered the Labrador retriever his family adopted during the election.
In 2010, the Scott family introduced the dog on Facebook and even launched a competition to name the animal.
The name Reagan was chosen, but the last time Reagan was seen was before the governor was sworn in.
Reporters recently began asking about the dog, and at first Scott's office refused to respond.
On Monday, Scott cleared up the mystery saying, "He was a rescue dog, and he couldn't be around anybody that was carrying anything. So he wouldn't get better."
Scott said the dog never bit anyone but scared employees inside the mansion.
The family returned the dog to its prior owner.

Last week we introduced the thought process behind how the LA Galaxy as a club warm up and some of the benefits we get both in the short and long term from having an organized plan for how we go about this dedicated time at the start of every practice.
We discussed how the warm up was very important for preparing the players for the demands of that particular day's session and also how over time Movement Prep can lead to long term strength gains and healthier athletes. We also introduced the different components that we incorporate into our Movement Prep sessions: general warm up, activation exercises, dynamic stretches, movement skills, plyometrics and movement application drills.
This week we are going to look a little closer at each of those components as well as provide a beginner's library of exercises to incorporate into your own team warm ups. This library should hopefully be something that you can take and continue to build from and add your own exercises and drills to.
Let's begin by breaking down each warm up component a little further.
With the Galaxy players, the general warm up consists of the traditional soccer warm up exercises. We start every practice with a jog and some dynamics exercises like arm swings, side shuffles, high knees and butt kickers. Remember, the purpose of the general warm up is to get the players moving at a very low intensity while starting to raise their core temperature and loosen up the muscles. I usually set aside 4 to 7 minutes for this component and the intensity level should be roughly 50-70%.
The activation component consists of core and glute exercises to strengthen these muscles but also to make sure they are turned on and firing as they are very important for how powerful and efficient the players are with their running, jumping and cutting. Example exercises include mini band, pillar, and bridging exercises to strengthen and activate the muscles. I usually set aside 2-3 minutes for this component and will do 3-5 exercises within this section.
When the Galaxy players stretch we make sure they are still moving and not just sitting around holding a stretch for 30 seconds. All of the dynamic stretches are geared toward muscles and movement patterns the players use on the pitch and each stretch is held for 1 to 3 seconds, 5 to 8 reps on each side. I usually set aside 3-4 minutes for stretches.
Movement skill exercises address form and mechanics as well as build strength in these movements. As we mentioned last week, every warm up should have a specific goal or purpose. Some days will focus on linear (forward and backward) movements, while others focus on lateral or multidirectional movements. Example exercises are marching, skipping, shuffling, and crossover exercises, depending on the focus of that day. They can be done at body weight or with resistance from a partner, resistance band or sled. I usually set aside 3 to 4 minutes for these movements and will do 3-5 sets of movement exercises at 75-90% intensity.
With the plyometrics we focus on two different things: stability and power. Depending on the hop, bound, or jumping exercise we do in this section it will be focused on being balanced and stable or on being explosive and powerful or a combination of the two. I usually set aside 2-4 minutes for this component and will do 2-5 sets of 3-8 reps with intensity anywhere from 70-100% based off of a certain progression and the players' ability to perform that progression with proper form and stability.
To finish the warm up we try to link all of the previous components together and apply what we have been working on with runs or drills that incorporate that day's focus (linear or multidirectional). In this section we also increase the intensity to a point that the players are ready to transition into the actual soccer practice. These drills are performed at intensity levels of up to about 90-95%. I usually set aside 2-4 minutes for this section with the time fluctuating based on how quickly or how many runs the players need to perform before getting them into the practice.
Now that you have an idea of what each warm up component consists of, lets take a look at some exercises to get you started when putting together your own warm ups. Remember, I base my Movement Prep sessions on the fact that I have twenty minutes with the players. Each of the times above are a rough estimate as sometimes more focus needs to be placed on one of the components more then another.
When looking at this library, first determine how much total time you have for your warm up. Then, determine what the focus of your warm up is going to be. Play around with the number of exercises, the format and set up and find what works best for you and your team.
Next week we'll use this library to put together a linear Movement Prep session with the players and show video from one of the Galaxy's linear warm ups.

How can I be sure the asking price for a business is worth it?
Businesses aren't worth what the owner asks for them, they are worth what the buyer is willing to pay for them. If those are the same amount, you have a deal, otherwise, make an offer.
I have a related post on my blog at blog.timberry.com from January of this year and there is a related post on Anita Campbell's Small Business Trends blog from yesterday. You can also search the web for "business valuation."
