Pawn loans are a quick and easy way to borrow money without a credit check or hassle. Loans are based on the value of your collateral, not your credit rating or pay schedule. Subject to individual state laws, a typical pawn loan may have a term length of 30 days/one month, plus a 30-day/one month grace period. If you cannot pay back your pawn loan in full, including any applicable grace period, we offer extensions/renewals (where permitted by state law) to give you extra time. You may also choose to surrender your collateral as payment in full.
We provide pawn loans on a variety of items, including gold and diamond jewelry, electronics, musical instruments, tools, and more*. Simply bring us an item of value, along with a valid photo ID and we'll get you money in minutes after your loan is approved.
If you are unable to pay back your pawn loan in full on its due date, you may be able to get an extension on your pawn loan, if permitted by state law. With an extension, you will be required to pay a portion of the interest owed (varies by state), then you may extend the length of your pawn loan for as many days as allowed by state law.
If you are unable to pay back your pawn loan in full on its due date, you may get a renewal, if permitted by state law. With a renewal, you pay the interest that has accrued on your pawn loan in full, and a new pawn loan is written. The principal pawn loan amount remains the same, as does the interest rate, but the due date is reset for the full loan term.
The majority of our customers repay their pawn loans and pick up their merchandise. If a customer chooses not to repay the pawn loan, the merchandise/collateral for the loan is forfeited.
We will also purchase items of value if you do not want to get a pawn loan.
We base pawn loan amounts on the value of your item—its current appraised value, its current condition and our ability to sell the item. We use all the research tools we have at our disposal to determine an item's value and get you the most money we can.
The appraisal process varies depending on the type of item—for example, jewelry is evaluated differently than a DVD player. We research and review items to ensure that our pawn loan values are in line with the general marketplace for pre-owned merchandise. To obtain the item's retail value when it was new, its pre-owned market value, and how to determine its condition.
The condition of an item is always taken into account during the appraisal process for a pawn loan. If one 32-inch television comes in that is in perfect condition and one 32-inch television comes in with a crack in the case, we will loan more on the TV that's in better condition.
When it's general merchandise you want to pawn, we test each item to ensure it is in good working condition. This includes, but is not limited to, a visual inspection, plugging an item in and turning it on, and noting if any necessary accessories (such as remote controls) and manuals are included.
The better the condition of your item, the more money we can loan you. This is true for any collateral.
When jewelry is the collateral for a pawn loan, we test the precious metals and diamonds to determine its worth.
The diamond testing includes a visual inspection using a jeweler's loupe, weighing the item, sizing (determining carat weight) any stones, and noting the cut/color/clarity of each—you may know this as the 4 Cs.
In addition, we test the metal using a special acid that determines the karat of gold. This is done to ensure a clean test so there are no false readings on your item that may detract from what we can loan you.
The price of gold is based on market values, the price for which is routinely reviewed and updated. Prices can vary greatly as the loan amount for 24K gold is significantly higher than that of 14K gold.
Unfortunately, we cannot give quotes over the phone because loan amounts vary greatly depending on the condition of an item. For general merchandise, we test each item to ensure it is in good working condition. This includes, but is not limited to, a visual inspection, plugging an item in and turning it on, and noting if any necessary accessories and manuals are included. The better the condition of your item, the more money we can loan. And for jewelry, we test to ensure diamonds and gold are genuine. This testing includes a visual inspection using a jeweler's loupe, weighing the item, sizing (determining carat weight) any diamonds, and noting the cut/color/clarity of each—you may know this as the 4 Cs. In addition, we test the metal using a special acid that determines the karat of gold.
Our pawn loan values are based on pre-owned retail prices, not what the item cost when it was new. Any collateral that is turned over to us and made available for sale is pre-owned and will be priced accordingly on our sales floor. The loan amount we give you is based on that selling price—and our ability to sell the item.
We offer you as much as we can while still allowing room to pay for the cost of storage, insurance and other costs of doing business.
While your item is in pawn, you still own it. It is our responsibility to keep it safe and in good condition while it's in our care. When you give us an item for pawn, we keep all accessories (remote controls, cables, etc.) with your item and place it in a secure area. Your item is safely stored here until you come back to pay your pawn loan in full and claim your merchandise. All Cash America shops are fully insured for the loan value of the collateral we keep.
Yes. States have regulated the pawn industry for decades, and most pawnbrokers are licensed and regulated by local authorities as well. We are subject to such federal laws as the Truth In Lending Act, Equal Credit Opportunity Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, Patriot Act, and Federal Trade Commission Rules on Data Privacy and Security Transfer, as well as Federal Firearms Licenses for shops that deal with firearms. At the federal level, we are regulated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), and the Treasury Department.
Yes. We accept firearms as collateral for pawn loans and sell firearms in many of our locations*. We are registered as a firearms dealer and must comply with all federal regulations. In addition, Cash America adds trigger locks to every firearm as an added safety initiative and furnishes local law enforcement with information on every transaction.
Less than 1 percent of items are identified as stolen goods.
Pawnshops are actually the worst place to try and get rid of stolen merchandise, despite what you see on television or in the movies. Pawnshops are highly regulated, work very closely with local and federal law enforcement officials, and train their staff to be on the lookout for and identify stolen property. In addition, Cash America's pawnshops all utilize an Internet-based crime-fighting tool called leadsonline.com, in which every pawn transaction is shared with police departments nationwide on a daily basis.

I was wondering anyone here has air filters in their home where their dogs are?
I got one of those Ionic Breeze air filters and within 24 hours Angel started sneezing. She hasn't stopped for nearly a week now. It's getting better and while she was getting her stitches out at the vet I asked. They gave me some anti-biotics to help her out. So far so good.
The Ionic Breeze works great but I'm afraid to turn it back on because she's just now getting over the whole sneezing thing.
Has anyone had a problem with air filters? Or the Ionic Breeze?

Following a vote of the people, the City of San Diego entered the municipal water supply business in 1901 when the City bought the water system from a private company. More than 100 years later, San Diego's water infrastructure has become one of the most complex in the United States. Today, the City of San Diego Public Utilities Department serves more than 1.3 million people populating more than 200 square miles of developed land.
In addition to our three water treatment plants, San Diego maintains and operates more than 3,302 miles of water lines, 49 water pump plants, 90-plus pressure zones, and more than 200 million gallons of potable water storage capacity in 32 standpipes, elevated tanks, and concrete and steel reservoirs.
Located in the semi-arid desert region of the southwestern United States where rainfall can vary from practically nil one year to plentiful the next, local water availability has always been an issue. On average, San Diego must import nearly 90 percent of its water from other areas, specifically northern California and the Colorado River.
The need to import water emerged in the 1940s when the increased presence of the United States Navy leading up to and into World War II, and the subsequent population boom thereafter, quickly overwhelmed local supplies. As a result, San Diego and other local water distributors formed the San Diego County Water Authority for the express purpose of purchasing Colorado River water from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and conveying it to San Diego County.
In addition to supplying more than 280,000 metered service connections within its own incorporated boundaries, San Diego conveys and sells potable water to the City of Del Mar, the Santa Fe and San Dieguito Irrigation Districts, and the California American Water Company, which, in turn, serves the Cities of Coronado and Imperial Beach and portions of south San Diego. San Diego also maintains several emergency connections to and from neighboring water agencies, including the Santa Fe Irrigation District, the Poway Municipal Water District, and Otay Water District, the California American Water Company, and the Sweetwater Authority.
Potential water supply offsets such as conservation and water reclamation have only recently entered the water supply picture, but even the most optimistic projections credit those offsets with no more than 20 to 25 percent of total demand. San Diego will therefore continue to rely heavily upon imported water for its water supply needs far into the foreseeable future.
The Public Utilities Department receives no revenues from sales or property taxes, operating solely on funds from rates and service charges. In accordance with the provisions of the City Municipal Code, these funds are administered in an enterprise account, separate from the City of San Diego's General Fund.

No. 87,544
1. The general rule is that appellate courts do not have jurisdiction to entertain an appeal unless a notice of appeal is filed within the statutory period.
2. In the interest of fundamental fairness there are exceptions to the rule that an appeal must be timely filed, ie., when criminal defendants are not informed of their right to appeal, or are not furnished an attorney to perfect an appeal, or are furnished an attorney who failed to perfect an appeal.
3. Whether the facts of a case establish any exceptions to the rule that an appeal must be filed within the statutory time limit is a question of law.
4. Generally, the fact that criminal defendants are not advised at the time of sentencing of their right to appeal and of the time limits for the appeal does not of itself allow for an appeal out of time. The question for the court is whether, under the facts presented, the defendant knew enough of his or her appeal rights that failure to timely file a notice of appeal constituted a waiver of those rights.
5. The fact that an attorney who is representing a defendant is also a county attorney or an assistant county attorney does not in itself show that defendant's attorney's representation was ineffective absent evidence of manifest injustice or evidence of an actual conflict of interest.
Appeal from Sherman District Court; JACK L. BURR, judge. Opinion filed September 27, 2002. Affirmed.
Peter Maharry, assistant appellate defender, and Steven R. Zinn, deputy appellate defender, for appellant.
Scott Showalter, acting county attorney, and Carla J. Stovall, attorney general, for appellee.
Before GREEN, P.J., WAHL, S.J., and JOHN J. BUKATY, JR., District Judge, assigned.
BUKATY, D.J.: Michael Lee Mitchell seeks to appeal his criminal convictions out of time. He filed a motion in the district court requesting such relief, and the court denied it. He appeals, arguing that he falls within exceptions to the rule that appeals must be timely filed. Alternatively, he argues that he should be allowed a second hearing on the motion and that he be appointed a conflict-free counsel. We affirm.
This is Mitchell's second appeal in this regard. Previously, the trial court denied Mitchell's request to appeal out of time. In State v. Mitchell, case no. 84,350, an unpublished opinion filed February 16, 2001, we reversed and remanded that determination with directions that the trial court conduct a hearing under State v. Ortiz, 230 Kan. 733, 640 P.2d 1255 (1982), to determine whether Mitchell waived his appeal rights or whether the facts established exceptions to the rule that an appeal must be timely filed. The trial court then conducted such a hearing and again determined that the appeal should be disallowed since no Ortiz exceptions existed. That brings us to the present appeal.
Mitchell argues that he was not informed of the time limit for filing a notice of appeal or that an attorney would be appointed for appeal if he could not afford one. He urges, therefore, that Ortiz provides for an appeal out of time.
Under K.S.A. 22-3608(c), Mitchell had 10 days following the judgment of the trial court to appeal. He clearly did not meet this requirement. Generally, appellate courts do not have jurisdiction to hear a late appeal and must dismiss it. See State v. Ji, 255 Kan. 101, 872 P.2d 748 (1994). However, in the interest of fundamental fairness, the Ortiz court recognized exceptions to the general rule where a criminal defendant either was not informed of his or her right to appeal, or was not furnished an attorney to perfect an appeal, or was furnished an attorney who failed to perfect an appeal. 230 Kan. at 736. Whether any of these exceptions excuse Mitchell from not filing a timely appeal is a question of law over which this court has unlimited review. See State v. Parker, 23 Kan. App. 2d 655, 658, 934 P.2d 787, rev. denied 262 Kan. 967 (1997).
A rather detailed consideration of the facts is necessary to determine the issue.
In August 1995, the State charged Mitchell in the present case. He retained Mitchell B. Christians to represent him. A jury then convicted Mitchell of the charges of battery, criminal damage to property, and obstruction of justice. Other charges were dismissed.
The trial court sentenced Mitchell on January 8, 1996, to 10 months for criminal damage to property, 10 months for obstruction of justice, and 6 months for battery, all to run concurrently. Also, Mitchell was on probation in a 1993 case when he committed these offenses, and the court revoked that probation. It ordered the sentences in the present case to run consecutive to that sentence.
In a letter dated May 29, 1996, Mitchell wrote to the trial judge requesting correction of the journal entry of his sentencing to reflect that the sentence on the battery charge ran concurrently instead of consecutively. In the letter, he wrote, "I am no-longer able to secure legal counsel, only as a last resort I have choosen [sic] to bring this matter to your attention, perhaps you would be gracious enough to look into or to assign an attorney to verify this claim?" The trial judge signed a nunc pro tunc order making the change.
On June 20, 1996, Mitchell wrote to the Sherman County Clerk requesting a copy of the docketing statement and the names of the court reporters who had been assigned to his 1993 and 1995 cases.
On October 7, 1996, Mitchell filed numerous pro se motions: motion to correct illegal sentence, motion for appointment of counsel, motion to proceed in forma pauperis, motion to order transport to court, motion to order show cause, and motion for jail credit. In December 1996, the court held a hearing on the motion to correct illegal sentence, and Mitchell was represented by Christians. The trial court granted Mitchell an additional 134 jail credit days.
Mitchell wrote to the trial court on February 5, 1997, requesting rulings on his motions and that a copy of the rulings be sent to him. Additionally, Mitchell stated, "My attorney Mr. Christians has failed to adequately represent me. He never filed my motions for jail credit. I don't think he appealed my case. Nor has he ever contacted me after Jan-8-96." The journal entry correcting the jail credit was filed on February 27, 1997.
Two years later, on February 9, 1999, Mitchell wrote the trial court requesting that another attorney, Bonnie Selby, represent him in an appeal of the present case. He stated that Selby had represented him in a 1997 case which was similar to the present one. He further stated that Christians had not contacted him in any way or informed him of his case status.
In response to this letter, the court held a hearing on June 7, 1999; Michael Irvin, as Sherman County Attorney, was the only party present. The court stated it had reviewed the files and found no indication that Mitchell intended to file an appeal. The court held that any appeal was out of time and it was "not going to go back and attempt to reopen it for appeal purposes at this point." This ruling was the subject of the first appeal in this case.
As stated earlier, on remand, the court held an Ortiz hearing. Mitchell appeared personally and by Bonnie Selby, who was the current Sherman County Attorney, and the State appeared by the acting Sherman county attorney, Scott Showalter. Mitchell testified he and Christians had discussed an appeal but not time limits. He said that he told Christians he wished to appeal on the day of the jury verdict but did not recall whether Mitchell said anything about the appeal on the sentencing day.
On the other hand, Christians testified he was retained through Mitchell's uncle to represent Mitchell on two different cases, the present case and a municipal court case. Christians filed an appeal to the district court from the municipal court convictions. Christians recalled the conversation about Mitchell's appeal in this case on the day of jury trial. He told Mitchell he needed some type of retainer to represent him further through appeal.
There is no indication that the trial court advised Mitchell of his right to appeal at the time of sentencing. That, of itself, is not dispositive of the issue however. In State v. Mitchell, 231 Kan. 144, 146-47, 642 P.2d 981 (1982), defendant Mitchell (no relation to appellant in the present case) claimed he had not been informed either by the court or by counsel of his right to appeal. The Mitchell court stated: "While it is clear the defendant was not informed of his right to appeal by the judge, it is apparent from his actions that he knew something of his appeal right. The question for decision is whether, under the facts of this case, he knew enough. We find that he did not." 231 Kan. at 146. The court decided to consider the appeal out of time, holding that it was apparent from the evidence that the defendant did not have the particular knowledge of the time frame for his appeal. 231 Kan. at 147.
Similarly, Mitchell maintains that he was not informed of the required time frame for appeal. As Christians testified and Mitchell did not deny, they discussed the appeal after his convictions by the jury. However, the record is not clear whether they discussed the time frame of the appeal.
Mitchell, however, presented facts that distinguish it from the present case. The record there reflects that the defendant made several inquiries regarding an appeal starting shortly after his sentencing. He apparently was told on more than one occasion to file his appeal at a later time. In essence, he was led down the path and never told about the timeliness requirements until long after the time expired. Here, Mitchell never made inquiries with the court about appealing his case until several years later. His first inquiry with the court about assistance for an appeal did not occur until February of 1999, when he sent a letter to the trial court asking if Selby could represent him on an appeal of this case. Even then, he never filed a formal written notice of appeal.
Other facts here suggest that Mitchell knew of his appeal rights and that his failure to act in any fashion on them amounts to a waiver.
Mitchell has a significant number of criminal convictions in his past, some of which he has appealed and some he has not. They include felony theft in 1994; aggravated escape, two counts of felony theft and criminal damage in 1990; and misdemeanor theft, battery, and burglary in 1985. Mitchell also had five municipal convictions in 1994 and three in 1995, including the two for which Christians was retained to defend him.
Mitchell argues that neither the trial court nor Christians informed him of his right to appointed counsel if he could not afford to retain his current counsel. However, Mitchell wrote to the trial court requesting correction of the sentencing journal entry in May 1996, 4 months after sentencing. He requested that the court look into the matter or appoint an attorney for him to verify his claim.
In October 1996, Mitchell filed numerous pro se motions. In December 1996, the trial court held a hearing on the motion to correct an illegal sentence, at which time Christians still represented Mitchell.
These facts indicate Mitchell was aware of his appeal rights and was aware that courts appoint attorneys in post-trial matters. His retained attorney still represented him after sentencing. Also, he filed many motions pro se, but not a notice of appeal. He never requested an appeal until 1999, almost 3 years after the sentencing and after he served the present sentence and committed additional crimes. We hold that these facts constitute a waiver of his appeal.
Mitchell next contends that his counsel at the Ortiz hearing had a conflict of interest at the time and, therefore, he should be afforded another hearing with different counsel. State v. Jenkins, 257 Kan. 1074, 898 P.2d 1121 (1995). His point has no merit.
We first note that the trial court appointed Selby at Mitchell's request prior to the first hearing on this timeliness issue in 1999. The court then allowed her to withdraw a few weeks later since she had accepted a position as an assistant Sherman County Attorney. Nevertheless, she appeared on behalf of Mitchell at the May 21, 2001, Ortiz hearing on remand from this court. Mitchell never objected to her appearance.
Mitchell also acknowledged that he raised this issue for the first time on appeal. Jenkins addressed the issue of when an appellate court will address such a point if it is not raised in the trial court.
"In order to establish a Sixth Amendment violation arising from multiple representation or any other alleged conflict of interest by an attorney, a defendant who raised no objection at trial must demonstrate that an actual conflict of interest adversely affected his lawyer's performance. Until a defendant shows that his or her counsel actively represented conflicting interests, the defendant has not established the constitutional predicate for a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel." Jenkins, 257 Kan. 1074, Syl. ¶ 5.
The Jenkins court then acknowledged that all facts necessary for the resolution of the issue were contained in the record and then decided to proceed to the question without remand. 257 Kan. at 1080. The same situation exists here.
The fact that Selby was an assistant or the actual county attorney at the time of the Ortiz hearing does not in itself establish an ineffective assistance of counsel claim. In State v. Wallace, 258 Kan. 639, 908 P.2d 1267 (1995), our Supreme Court ruled that a court-appointed attorney who was also acting as a special county attorney at the same time did not have a conflict of interest that constituted ineffective assistance of counsel.
Here, Selby did not represent the State at any time in this case. At the Ortiz hearing, the State appeared by Scott Showalter, who prosecuted Mitchell originally in this case. The trial court appointed Selby again to represent Mitchell. The record shows she examined Mitchell, cross-examined Christians, and made closing comments at the hearing. Despite Mitchell's arguments that Selby could not properly represent him in his case and that he was denied his due process rights, there is no evidence that Selby's status created manifest injustice, requiring another Ortiz hearing with new counsel.
This is not a case of actual conflict of interest where the conflict adversely affected counsel's performance. Cf., Jenkins, 257 Kan. at 1081. Mitchell is not entitled to another Ortiz hearing with new counsel under these circumstances.

PARSIPANNY, N.J., July 29 (UPI) -- U.S. regulators have proposed fines of nearly $50,000 for a scenery building company in New Jersey for violations of worker safety laws.
The Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration cited Acadia Scenic Inc. of Jersey City, N.J., for 22 safety and health violations, 19 of them deemed serious and two of them deemed willful.
The two willful violations include $28,000 in fines. They were meted out for the lack of guards on a hand-fed circular ripsaw and a crosscut table saw.
A willful violation is one considered either intentional or done "with plain indifference to worker safety," OSHA said.
The 19 violations deemed serious, including the lack of respirators, an accumulation of explosive dust, lack of railings on stairs, and improper placement of fire extinguishers, carry a potential fine of $21,200.
The final violation, not using the proper form for an injury report, carries a fine of $400, OSHA said.
The company has 15 business days to comply, as for additional information, or contest the citations or the penalties.
Contested issues go before the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, an independent agency.

What's the difference between Office 365 and Office 2016?
Office 365 is a subscription service that ensures you always have the most up-to-date tools from Microsoft. There are Office 365 plans for home and personal use, as well as for small and midsized businesses, large enterprises, schools, and nonprofits.
All Office 365 plans for home and personal use include Office 2016 with the fully installed Office applications that you're familiar with, like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel, plus extra online storage, ongoing tech support at no extra cost, and more. You can choose to pay for your subscription on a monthly or yearly basis, and the Office 365 Home plan lets you share your subscription with up to four members of your household.
Most of the Office 365 plans for business, schools, and nonprofits include the fully installed applications, but Microsoft also offers basic plans with the online versions of Office, file storage, and email. You decide what works best for you: Smaller business, Enterprise, School, or Nonprofit.
Office 2016 is also sold as a one-time purchase, which means you pay a single, up-front cost to get Office applications for one computer. One-time purchases are available for both PCs (such as Office Home & Student 2016) and Macs (such as Office Home & Student 2016 for Mac). One-time purchases don't have an upgrade option, which means if you plan to upgrade to the next major release, you'll have to buy it at full price.
Office Online is the free version of Office that you can use in your web browser. Try the Office Online apps.

I have a Mac. What should I buy?
Office 365 subscriptions work on both Macs and PCs. However, if you want a one-time purchase of Office, you'll need to buy Office Home & Business 2016 for Mac or buy Office Home & Student 2016 for Mac. The primary difference between these two products is that Office Home & Business 2016 for Mac includes Outlook and is licensed for business use.
Do I need to be connected to the Internet to use Office 365?
You don't need to be online to use Office after it is installed and activated on your devices. However, you will need internet access initially to install and activate Office, to install any updates, and to manage your billing. Internet access is also required to access documents stored on OneDrive, unless you install the OneDrive desktop app. However, after your Office applications (like Word, PowerPoint, and Excel) are installed, you can use them offline.
You should connect to the Internet regularly to keep your version of Office up to date and benefit from automatic upgrades. If you don't connect to the Internet at least every 39 days, your applications will go into reduced functionality mode, and you might see an unlicensed product error. To reactivate your Office applications, simply reconnect to the Internet and sign in to Office 365. Learn how to sign in.
I have more questions. Is there someone I can talk to?

County Courthouse
McDowell was formed in 1842 from Rutherford and Burke Counties. It was named in honor of Colonel Joseph McDowell, an officer of the Revolution. It is situated in the west central part of North Carolina, bounded by Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Henderson, Mitchell, Rutherford, and Yancey counties. The court was ordered to be held at the home of Jonathan L. Carson until the county seat could be established. The act also named commissioners to select a site as near the center of the county as possible, acquire land, lay out a town by the name of Marion, and erect a courthouse. Marion is the county seat.

Difference between revisions of "EclipseLink/Release/2.4.0/JAXB RI Extensions/XML Location"
|Line 228:
|Line 228:
// Output:
// Output:
// Customer(Bob Smith)
// Customer(Bob Smith) file:/D:/temp/instance.xml
Revision as of 13:36, 1 June 2012
Design Documentation: @XmlLocation
In the current JAXB RI, developed by Sun, there are a series of "proprietary" JAXB extensions that are available to provide advanced JAXB functionality outside of the JAXB spec (these extension classes reside in the com.sun.xml.bind package).
The @XmlLocation annotation is one of these extensions - it allows the user to specify a property on the JAXB object that will be updated (upon unmarshalling) with that object's XML location information (i.e. the line number, column number, and system ID that points to this object's location in the XML input).
This document will outline the design for an EclipseLink equivalent to this extension.
- Deliver an @XmlLocation annotation in the EclipseLink library that will provide the same functionality as the Sun extension.
- Line number
- Column number
- System ID, if applicable
- Support drop-in-replacement functionality if the user is currently using the Sun versions of this annotation (com.sun.xml.bind.annotation.XmlLocation or com.sun.xml.internal.bind.annotation.XmlLocation)
- Have zero impact on memory/performance if the user is not using @XmlLocation.
If an object containing an @XmlLocation property is unmarshalled, a Locator object will be created and set on the property, containing the XML location info.
Not all unmarshal sources will be able to provide XML location information. For example, unmarshalling from a File would be able to give you line, column and system ID (filename); system ID is not available when unmarshalling from an InputStream; unmarshalling from a Node would give you no XML location information at all.
|Unmarshal Source
|Line #
|Column #
|System ID
In order to use @XmlLocation, the user must first have a property on their Java object (either a field or get/set pair) of type org.xml.sax.Locator. The user can then specify that this property should be used to track XML location by using either EclipseLink Annotations or XML Bindings.
Properties marked with @XmlLocation should also be marked as @XmlTransient, as the location information is not relevant in a marshalled document.
EclipseLink will also recognize the Sun versions of this annotation (om.sun.xml.bind.annotation.XmlLocation and com.sun.xml.internal.bind.annotation.XmlLocation).
package org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.annotations; import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.FIELD; import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.METHOD; import static java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME; import java.lang.annotation.Retention; import java.lang.annotation.Target; @Target({METHOD, FIELD}) @Retention(RUNTIME) public @interface XmlLocation {}
XML Bindings
... <xs:element name="xml-transient" substitutionGroup="java-attribute"> <xs:complexType> <xs:complexContent> <xs:extension base="java-attribute"> <xs:attribute name="xml-location" type="xs:boolean" default="false" /> </xs:extension> </xs:complexContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> ... <xs:element name="xml-element" substitutionGroup="java-attribute"> <xs:complexType> <xs:complexContent> <xs:extension base="java-attribute"> ... <xs:attribute name="xml-location" type="xs:boolean" default="false" /> </xs:extension> </xs:complexContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> ...
Config Options
The @XmlLocation feature does not expose any configuration options, it is merely a tagging annotation that indicates the property to be used for tracking XML location information.
The following examples refer to this XML instance document:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <customer> <id>1872874</id> <name>Bob Smith</name> </customer>
Example 1
This example shows the most basic use case; the Locator field is annotated with @XmlLocation (or, in XML Bindings, the "xml-element" has its "xml-location" attribute set to "true").
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*; import org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.annotations.XmlLocation; import org.xml.sax.Locator; @XmlRootElement public class Customer { public int id; public String name; @XmlLocation @XmlTransient public Locator locator; @Override public String toString() { String loc = " noLoc"; if (locator != null) { loc = " L" + locator.getLineNumber() + " C" + locator.getColumnNumber() + " " + locator.getSystemId(); } return "Customer(" + name + ")" + loc; } }
Equivalent XML Bindings:
... <java-types> <java-type name="Customer"> <xml-root-element /> <java-attributes> <xml-element java-attribute="id" /> <xml-element java-attribute="name" /> <xml-transient java-attribute="locator" xml-location="true" /> </java-attributes> </java-type> </java-types> ...
When a Customer is unmarshalled, the Locator field is automatically set to contain the XML location information for that object. By default, if that object was then marshalled back to XML, the XML location information would be written out as well.
Unmarshalling and Marshalling:
File f = new File("D:/temp/instance.xml")); Customer c = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller().unmarshal(f); System.out.println(c); // Output: // Customer(Bob Smith) L2 C1 file:/D:/temp/instance.xml
Example 2
Accessor methods can be annotated instead of the actual Java field:
import javax.xml.bind.annotation.*; import org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.annotations.XmlLocation; import org.xml.sax.Locator; @XmlRootElement public class Customer { private int id; private String name; private Locator locator; @XmlLocation @XmlTransient public Locator getLocator() { return this.locator; } public void setLocator(Locator l) { this.locator = l; } ... }
When processing XML through our various parsing mechanisms (UnmarshalRecord, SAXDocumentBuilder, XMLStreamReaderReader, etc), a Locator object is supplied by the underlying parser libraries. This Locator is constantly updated throughout the unmarshalling process (with the location of the currently parsed node). When parsing a startElement(), if that element equates to a Descriptor that is location-aware, the Locator will be cloned at that point, and stored on the UnmarshalRecord, indicating the XML Location of that object in XML.
- New annotation: org.eclipse.persistence.oxm.annotations.XmlLocation
- New boolean "xml-location" flag on "xml-transient" and "xml-element" in XML Bindings
- Must be added to new 2.4 schema - eclipselink_oxm_2_4.xsd
- Corresponding updates to o.e.p.jaxb.xmlmodel classes
- New field on XMLDescriptor: boolean isLocationAware
- New field on UnmarshalRecord: Locator xmlLocation (each object instance has its own UnmarshalRecord, and this will be set only if Descriptor isLocationAware)
- New field on Property: boolean isXmlLocation
- Property is set up for isXmlLocation in AnnotationsProcessor and XMLProcessor
- MappingsGenerator: in generateMapping(), create a specialized XMLCompositeObjectMapping for the Locator property
- New class: NullInstantiationPolicy - we want to create a regular mapping for the Locator, but will never be instantiating it like a regular mapping - its value will be set manually during parsing. Plus, Locator does not have a default constructor. This InstantiationPolicy simply returns null for buildNewInstance().
- New constants in XMLConstants: LOCATOR_CLASS and LOCATOR_CLASS_NAME
- New JAXBException ("XmlLocation is only allowed on properties of type org.xml.sax.Locator, but [{0}] is of type [{1}].")

On October 15th, close to 3,000 students and staff from the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board will embark on the 14th Annual "Walk with Christ: Justice for the Poor" Pilgrimage in support of Third World development projects in Uganda, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Deemed to be the largest service project in the history of the board, the pilgrimage is more than simply fundraising, says Dr. Paul Beaudette, Program Leader for Religion and Family Life: "It is a social justice project that combines the three activities of prayer, development education and fundraising."
The walk provides an opportunity for students to learn about social justice issues in the Developing South, particularly around the imbalance of wealth, adds Beaudette.
"Much of our wealth, directly or indirectly, comes to us at the expense of the poor South – three-quarters of the people in our world who live on only twenty percent of the world's wealth and resources."
The activity also seeks to raise students' awareness of the injustice of world hunger and inadequate health care, shelter and education.
"As a Catholic school community, the pilgrimage gives us the opportunity to do what the Lord asks of us: to act justly, love tenderly, and walk humbly with our God (Micah 6:8)," says Beaudette.
The pilgrimage will begin with a Mass at Cathedral High School at 11:00 a.m. on Sunday morning, October 15th. Students will set out from Cathedral on an 8-kilometre walk up the Wentworth escarpment rail trail to St. Anthony Daniel Catholic Elementary School, where they will bused back to their home schools.
The event is hoped to draw public attention around social justice issues. "Three thousand people marching along city streets to raise money and public awareness around Third World poverty makes a very powerful statement within our community," says Pilgrimage Committee Co-chair Gino Pizzoferrato.
Since the first pilgrimage in May 2004, the event has raised over $500,000 – monies which have supported ADESJO (Association for the Development of San José de Ocoa) in the Dominican Republic; St. Joseph's Home for Boys in Port-au-Prince, Haiti: St. Gabriel's Parish in Beau Séjour, Haiti; Catholic Dioceses of Southwestern Uganda; the Holy Child Association; and Development and Peace's Emergency Appeal Fund.
Donations are always welcome and can dropped off at any Hamilton Catholic school or the Catholic Education Centre at 90 Mulberry Street in downtown Hamilton. Tax receipts will be issued for amounts over $25.

Jessie Davis
Spotlight show • Soulful singer-songwriter and keyboardist Jessie Davis is from New York City. She is also from Atlanta. And also from Salt Lake City. Davis grew up in Sugar House and attended Highland High School before graduating from Judge Memorial, with much of her time spent learning classical piano. But in between her freshman and sophomore years of college, she attended the Berklee College of Music and fell in love with her true calling. "It was the freedom of the music" that attracted her to jazz, said Davis in an interview. "I always loved classical piano, but it's hard to hit every note," she added with a laugh. She linked up with internationally known drummer Vinx and followed him to Atlanta, where she lived between 2007 and 2011, eventually receiving her degree in jazz piano performance. Along the way, she found herself singing along to her own music, because every singer she auditioned never matched the music Davis heard in her head. Davis moved to New York City right after Thanksgiving. In September 2011, the blue-eyed soul singer released her second album, "Him & Gemini," inspired by Amy Winehouse, Esperanza Spalding, Adele and D'Angelo. Tonight, Davis is returning to Bar Deluxe for a homecoming show.

Yonder Mountain String Band
Spotlight show • "No one gets into bluegrass to be famous," said Ben Kaufmann, bass player for Yonder Mountain String Band, in an interview. "I think at least one jaw dropped several inches when I told my parents I wanted to be a bluegrass musician." Kaufmann's parents need not worry, for YMSB has grown into one of the most popular bluegrass groups in the world. The Colorado-based band keeps its material fresh and innovative by touring endlessly and constantly creating new songs. "We're always writing," Kaufmann said. "There's always someone with something new. We're not good at sitting on things. We have short attention spans." That's why when we hear YMSB on Wednesday, we will hear plenty of new stuff that won't be recorded until well in 2013 if at all. "We're a live band," he said. "That's where we shine." Kaufmann has a young son at home, and he is playing piano and singing Frank Sinatra tunes to the boy to jump-start his musical aspirations. "I'm going to tell him not to be a doctor or a lawyer," he said. Brown Bird guests.

Spotlight show •Singer Madeline Follin said there are three states the New York City-based indie-pop duo hasn't visited in two years of nonstop touring: Alaska, Hawaii and Utah. That helps explain the rapid Utah ticket sales for Follin and guitarist Brian Oblivion, backed by three members of a touring band. The group's self-titled debut album was released last June, with many flocking to the music of the dynamic pair that blends influences from girl groups of the 1960s with a modern sensibility and unusual references. Those references include a quote from cult leader Jim Jones serving as the introduction to the duo's biggest hit, the sunny "Go Outside." The song, written first as an instrumental, was the first time Follin heard Oblivion craft a song, and like the rest of us, she was hooked. The pair began writing together, with Oblivion generally writing the music and Follin the lyrics. They initially believed no one would ever hear the music, she said. "It was definitely not calculated," she said. But three songs posted on a blog including "Go Outside" were picked up by several influential blogs in New York City, and within a year, Columbia Records came calling. "We've had an amazing time," Follin said. Spectrals and Mrs Magician are also on the bill.

(With apologies to Dr. Seuss)
Every Rep down in Congress liked Clinton somewhat,
Except for the Gingrinch, who simply did NOT!
He hated Bill Clinton! He hated his wife!
He vowed to torment them the rest of his life!
The Ging hated anyone left of the Huns,
He hated the wusses who didn't like guns.
He hated the teachers who wouldn't lead prayers,
He hated the people who'd tax millionaires!
He hated "McGoverniks" whining 'bout rights,
Like equal protection for gays and nonwhites.
He hated the folks who said "Nicotine kills"
And vowed he would pass more pro-nicotine bills.
He hated the folks who said "Women need choice"
And vowed to give middle-aged males more voice.
But he hated the people on welfare much more;
He hated the way they were POOR POOR POOR POOR!
He hated the way they had no jobs at all,
This struck him as heaploads of GALL GALL GALL GALL!
They also lacked training and day care. So what?
The Gingrinch announced he'd come up with a plot:
"Get off of Welfare! Get off today!
Or we will take all of your children AWAY!"
Now, no one knew what made the Ging such a meanie:
It could be because he had a small weenie.
It could be because he had Donahue hair,
Or maybe because not much lurked under there.
But probably what most explained the man's life
Was that he abandoned his children and wife.
Yes, 'way down in Georgia, his wife lay near dead
Sickened with cancer, in a hospital bed.
He crept in to see her (they let him, of course)
And whispered, quite sweetly, "I want a divorce!"
He whipped out his pencil with something like zeal
And got down to work on his alimony deal.
And while she was whimp'ring he said, "By the way,
I'm leaving for somebody younger — hooray!"
The Gingrinch's heart shrank two sizes that night.
And that could be what makes him so Christian Right.
Now, the night before Congress the Ging hatched his plans:
From now on he'd speak for, quote, "Normal Americans."
Tax-slashers! That's what those "Normal" folks love!
He'd take to the skies and dismantle the gov!
He jumped out of bed and he summoned his pet:
A doberman pinscher who once killed a vet.
George was his name (as in Wallace, not Bush);
"Boy!" said the Gingrinch, "We're gonna whip tush!"
They flew to a soup kitchen, filled with sad "bums,"
Snatched up the kettle and stole all the crumbs.
They flew to a basketball game late at night
And shooed the kids out, to the dealers' delight.
They unplugged mass transit and cried "Buy a car!"
Then chopped down a forest and chomped a cigar.
What bliss! What fun! What downright glee!
What joy! What yuks! What great TV!
The next day the Gingrinch sat high above view
And looked down on Congress (as many folks do).
He wanted to relish the joy and the cheer
Of folks waking up to their first tax-free year.
He waited and waited and waited some more;
He waited to hear them cry "Newt! Take the floor!"
He waited for kudos and champagne free-flowing,
He waited for trumpets on high to start blowing.
But instead of rejoicing and hoopla, etcet,
He heard a strange rumble that made his palms sweat.
The people weren't happy, not happy at all!
They ringed 'round the Statehouse! They filled up the hall!
They groused and they grumbled and cried, "We're real mad!
We want all those costly old programs we had!
Give back our givebacks! Give back our pork!
Give back the stuff you walked off with, you dork!"
And the Gingrinch sat simply quite stunned at the sight
Of Normal Americans, not left and not right.
They wanted clean air and they wanted green trees,
They wanted full coverage for medical fees,
They wanted nice schools and streets safe to play,
They wanted it all — they just didn't want to pay!
And when the truth hit him, the Ging grinned a grin,
He laughed and he laughed till the tears ran down his chin.
The Clintons climbed up to the Dome, laughing too.
"Hee hee hee," Bill and Hill laughed, "Hoo hoo hoo!"
They laughed with the cheer that comes from within,
They laughed with the knowledge: You just cannot win.
The Gingrinch and Clintons now shared the same plight
Whatever they'd do, they could not do it right.
"Folks hate you," said Bill, "once you land in D.C.
But I've got a plan: Let us bond, you and me.
We'll work as a team, yes! That's my advice!
We'll listen and nod and make NICE NICE NICE!"
The Prez put his hand out, they hugged on the ledge…
And then that old Gingrinch pushed Bill off the edge.

Loud bang sends Windham High into hourlong lockdownBy APRIL GUILMET
Union Leader Correspondent
December 17. 2012 11:35AM
WINDHAM - Police and fire officials continue to investigate what caused the "loud bang" that put the high school on lockdown for an hour Monday morning.
According to police reports, a call came in around 10:30 a.m. with several school employees reporting they'd heard a loud bang inside Windham High School.
The school, located at 64 London Bridge Road, was put on lockdown right away, and police and fire were staged inside the school.
Windham Police Chief Gerald Lewis said area police responded quickly to the reports, placing the entire school on "shelter in place" status and conducting a sweep of the entire facility.
"We found nothing out of the ordinary," Lewis said.
But just to be safe, members of the Windham Fire Department conducted a secondary check of the school.
After finding nothing amiss, the school was returned to normal operations.
Lewis said the source of the noise remains unknown.

Story Highlights
Click below for a high-res version WITH a title - WITHOUT a title
If it seems like you haven't heard much about record high temperatures this year, you're not imagining it. For the first time in 20 years, the U.S. has recorded more record lows than record highs—and that 20-year gap is a major clue that our climate is changing.
Back in the middle of the last century, record highs and record lows pretty much balanced out. Not necessarily in any one year, or even in any one decade, because we will always experience weather extremes. For example, the 1950's saw somewhat more highs than lows before things flipped in the 60's and 70's. Then, they flipped back again in the 80s. But even during that time, individual years also flipped from high to low while the overall number of record highs and lows came out even.
Since the 80s, though, highs have outpaced lows by a bigger margin every decade, and warm records (the combination of high max and high min) have also regularly outpaced cool records (the combination of low max and low min). By the 2000's, the U.S. set more than twice as many record highs as it did record lows. That's strong evidence that the climate is on a real warming trend, which is what you'd expect from the buildup of heat-trapping greenhouse gases scientists have measured.
Just because the U.S. is warming overall, along with the rest of the world, that doesn't mean we won't have cold snaps like the one currently gripping the country. And it doesn't mean we won't have more years where record lows outpace record highs. But the fact that it hasn't happened more than once since 1993 is something worth noting.
NOTE: If you are interested in localizing this topic, we can pull record high vs. record low numbers for your particular market. Please contact Bernadette Woods Placky at email@example.com.
NOTE: These numbers are as of 12/11/2013 and are likely to change by the end of the year.

The Brilliance of Tiny Toons
For those unfamiliar, this was NOT "Baby Looney Tunes". The characters were NOT the Looney Tunes as kids. In fact, the classic characters often appeared alongside their new proteges to give advice and laughs along the way. The characters were not babies, they were older kids, attending a school called "Acme Looniversity" to learn how to be as skilled at life and comedy as their classic idols.
One of the series' finest moments was a direct to video feature called "How I Spent My Summer Vacation", that took pop-culture parody, classic homages and character development to a new level. (listening, cynics?!) It was divided into several sub-plots, and this segment of the Buster Bunny/Babs Bunny "Float Trip" adventure took the time to pay tribute to several sources...the classic film "Deliverance", Robert McKimson's "Hillbilly Hare", musical cartoons in general, and the good old fashioned cartoon chase. Buster Bunny and a possum jam out in a banjo solo of the Tiny Toons theme song, (Buster on his tongue, possum on his banjo) while Babs revives the good ol' Bugs Bunny chase gags. The result is one of the most fun bits of animation of the 90's.
Enjoy this segment from "Tiny Toon Adventures: How I Spent My Summer Vacation"!

Tiny Toons was one of my favorite shows of the 90s. In fact, it kinda shaped animation in the early 90s until a certain John K show surfaced.
The series was clever, never stealing but adding to gags from the classic shorts, and a good majority of episodes were great.
I hope it hits DVD soon.

Tiny Toons is basically an un-inspired Loney Tunes but isn't horrible like some say, it was decent and yes "How Spent my vacation" was the show's best moment. I wanna plug my blog here and annonce some new updates.

I never understood why Tiny Toons gets the flack it does. I enjoyed it and it was a refreshing diversion from the rest of the tripe on Saturday mornings at the time.
- April 28, 2007 at 8:02 PM
While eclipsed by Animaniacs later on, Tiny Toons had some great moments. All of the pop-culture references that we saw in the movie were in shorts like "Acme TV" and "Acme Cable TV". Babs Bunny did a wonderful homage to '30s era toons in "Fields of Honey", and we mustn't forget Plucky Duck and all of the very funny Batman homages.
I made sure to tape this and transfer my favorites to DVD. It deserves the same release that Animaniacs got.
- April 29, 2007 at 3:18 PM
Seeing this clip again did bring back great memories. Thank you for posting it!
It's upsetting to hear Tiny Toons is getting flak. It appealed to me and my brother as kids as well as my parents. I hope this comes to DVD with the hype it deserves.

Hey! can I made You a 1000Dollars Question about Tiny Toons?
I'm looking for an episode titled " A piece of Mind" with Wile E.: could someone suggest me some links or even images of this episode? I will be grateful!

by the way, what do you think of Animaniacs?
I, for one, like it MUCH better then tiny toons.
Yakko wakko and dot are surprisingly appealing in design.
Especially like their lopsided eyes.

However, this tradition - of providing material from non-Christian points-of-view - has been a part of The Divine Conspiracy from the very beginning.

Islam is not a religion of peace. It's a political theory of conquest that seeks domination by any means it can. (Ayaan Hirsi Ali)

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings. The inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of misery. (Winston Churchill)
The left does not win its battles in debate. It doesn't have to. In the twenty-first century, media is everything. The left wins because it controls the narrative. The narrative is controlled by the media. The left is the media. Narrative is everything. I call it the Democrat-Media Complex–and I am at war to gain back control of the American narrative. (Andrew Breitbart)
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money. (Alexis de Tocqueville)
Even though I am a convinced Protestant, I believe that Erasmus is the greatest theologian the church ever produced, and for many reasons. Here's but one: along with him, I prefer those who define things too little to those who define them too much. The theological humility appropriate to our fallen condition requires of us precisely that broadness of love and of understanding. It's just too easy to be wrong. That ease of error means that it is unwise to spell out the answers to difficult issues in the enormous and overly precise detail that so many of us arrogantly proffer. (Michael Bauman)
