How to add JAR file to Classpath in Java
Adding JAR into classpath is a common task for Java programmer and different programmer do it on different way. Since Java allows multiple ways to include JAR file in classpath, it becomes important to know pros and cons of each approach and How exactly they work. There are 5 ways to add jars on into classpath in Java some of them we have already seen in How classpath works in Java and How to set Path in Java. In this post we will revisit some of those techniques and explore Java 1.6 wildcard to add multiple JAR into classpath. By the way here is 5 ways to add JAR file into classpath. In short knowledge of Path, Classpath and Classloaders are must for any Java programmer, not only from knowledge point of view but also to successfully debug and resolve issues related to Classpath e.g. NoClassDefFoundError and java.lang.ClassNotFoundException in Java.
5 ways to add multiple JARs in ClasspathHere are some of the ways you can add jar files in classpath of a Java program :
1. Include the JAR name in CLASSPATH environment variable.
CLASSPATH environment variable is case insensitive and it can be either Classpath or classpath as well. This is similar to PATH environment variable which is used to locate Java binaries e.g. javaw and java command.
2. Include name of JAR file in -classpath command line option.
This is the preferred option if you are passing –classpath option while running your Java program as java –classpath ${CLASSPATH} Main . Here CLASSPATH shell variable can contain list of Jar file required by your application. Another advantage of using –classpath command line option is that, it allows every application to have its own set of JAR in classpath unlike previous option which is available to all Java program running on same host.
3. Include the jar name in the Class-Path option in the manifest.
If you are running an executable JAR file, you might have noticed Class-Path attribute in manifest file inside META-INF folder. Class-Path option takes highest priorities and overrides both CLASSPATH environment variable and –classpath command line option. This is also a good place to include all JAR file required by Java application.
4. Use Java 6 wildcard option to include multiple JAR
Form Java 1.6+ onwards you can use wildcard to include all jars in a directory into the set classpath or provide it to Java program directly using -classpath command line option. Following Java command example shows how to add multiple JAR into classpath using Java 6 wildcard method.
java.exe -classpath E:\lib\* Main
This is the newest option of adding multiple JAR file into classpath. Above command will include all JAR file inside E:\lib directory into classpath. One thing which is worth noting while using wildcard to include multiple JAR is that syntax mut be correct. In fact that's a common mistake many Java programmer make. Here is few more important points about using Java 6 widlcard to include multiple JAR in classpath :
1) In order to include all JAR from a directory you need to use wildcard * and not *.jar
2) If you have JAR and class file in same directory than you need to include each of them separately.
Wildcard only match JAR files and not classes. E.g.
Java –classpath /classes;/lib/*
3) Java 6 wildcard to inlcude all JAR will not search for JARs in subdirectory.
4) One more important point is that wildcard to include all JAR is not honored in case if you are running Java program with JAR file and that have Class-Path attribute in manifest file. JAR wildcard is honored If you use –cp or –classpath option. See Core Java for Impatient for more details:
5. Adding JAR in ext directory e.g. C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0\jre\lib\ext
This is another way you can add multiple JAR in your classpath. JAR from ext directory is loaded by extension Classloader and it has higher priority than application class loader which loads JAR from either CLASSPATH environment variable or directories specified in –classpath or –cp option. By the way I don't suggest this way of adding JAR into Classpath as its not standard, it just for information purpose.
These were couple of ways you can include JAR files in your Classpath. Java 6 wildcard is preferred way of adding multiple JAR in class path along with –cp and –classpath command line option. If you are working in multiple operating system than its also good to remember that two directories in classpath are separated using semi colon(;) in windows and with colon : in UNIX based system.

What is the summer slide? "Summer slide" is the tendency for students to lose some of the achievement gains they made during the previous school year. There are many ways to help sliding during the summer. Reading and practicing math for as little as 15 minutes a day makes a HUGE difference in your child's education. Be creative.... practice basic math facts while riding in the car. Listen to audio books. Read while relaxing by the pool. Have the kids help you cook. Practice telling time by writing down start and stop times for commercials and favorite TV shows. All of these simple activities will help keep their brains going over the summer.
Students have access to Reading A to Z (RAZ kids), Education Galaxy, and iStation over the summer. Check your child's folder for their usernames and passwords for these websites.
We also have links to fun and educational websites on the For Students page of our website.
Want to reduce screen time and still avoid the summer slide? Check out our library page of the website for a list of businesses that offer prizes for reading during the summer. Mansfield ISD is operating a Literacy Library for all MISD students enrolled in Pre-K through 4th grades.

NEW YORK (AP) - Sure, her job involves parading in lacy underwear and her husband is a rock star. But Lily Aldridge says she does the same things on a given day as millions of other women: She fed her baby daughter, talked to her mom on the phone, kissed her husband before she left for work.
NEW YORK (AP) � Sure, her job involves parading in lacy underwear and her husband is a rock star. But Lily Aldridge says she does the same things on a given day as millions of other women: She fed her baby daughter, talked to her mom on the phone, kissed her husband before she left for work.
Aldridge says her work on the Victoria's Secret runway is a job � a good, fun one that she loves and that introduces her to stars like Rihanna, Justin Bieber and the Black Eyed Peas � and she's realistic that it won't last forever.
More important than enjoying the moment with a jet-set lifestyle is putting down roots, and Aldridge says she works hard at doing that, spending as much time as possible with her family in their homes in Nashville and New York. (Her husband is Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill, so that's not totally normal, but Aldridge rolls with it.)
The California native has been a Victoria's Secret model since 2009, and she also has walked the runway for Rag & Bone and Giles Deacon and appeared in ads for Coach, Clinque and Anthropologie. She was first spotted by a scout at a school carnival, and two of her sisters are also models.
Before this interview, she was pondering which sweet potato recipe to make for the holidays, and she made a dash for Starbucks coffee. She even skipped her workout; it was just one of those busy days where something had to go.
She can do that now � and, on occasion, for the next few months � because the Victoria's Secret show for 2012 is behind her. The show was taped last month to be shown on CBS on Tuesday.
"It will go so fast. It seems we're months in preparation for the next one. ... It takes two months to be 'show ready,'" she explains. "And show ready means knowing there is no Photoshop."
No problem. Aldridge, 27, came to this year's catwalk primed � and pumped � to wear outfits including a tiny blue bra, itty bitty gold bikini bottoms, flag-inspired wings and a jetpack that shot silver sparkles. There's always a big viewing party for the models, Aldridge says, and she looks forward to it. There isn't the competitive vibe you might expect, she adds.
"The first Victoria's Secret model I ever met was Adriana Lima, and she was so nice to me. She was very generous and very nurturing. She made sure people talked to me!" Aldridge says.
Aldridge answered a few more questions for The Associated Press before going out to meet and greet holiday shoppers at Victoria's Secret new Manhattan flagship at Herald Square.
�Best perk: Professional hair and makeup artists, hands down.
�Must-have item: Comfy sweatpants.
�Kitchen essentials: Olive oil, balsamic vinegar and Le Creuset pots.
�Describe your first Victoria's Secret show: "Jell-O legs."
�Most popular questions from fans: Workout routine (ballet and pilates, which she can do at home between Dixie's naps), beauty routine (as little makeup as possible) and what it's like to be on the runway in underwear (she's fine as long as she looks at the camera, not the audience).
�Tip for anyone who might � just might � get a modeling gig: "Walk slowly so you get your moment."

Mondal's principal research interest is in the area of constructions of tolerance regions for some multivariate linear models, which is a blend of multivariate data analysis and inferential procedures.
The central theme of her research is to develop tolerance factors for multivariate normal distributions and construct tolerance regions for multiple and multivariate linear regression models. In other words, Mondal uses probability theory and statistical inference to determine at what point an engineering project might fail or to assess pollution level in a workplace.
She is also involved in the formulation of theoretical problems as well as development of statistical methodologies for problems related to bio-engineering, environmental sciences, physical therapy, etc.
Mondal is an active member in the scientific community, publishing regularly in statistics, mathematics, and engineering journals and giving more than 27 talks in national and international conferences.
She hosted a five-week lecture course covering the specific needs and questions expressed by biologists regarding appropriate selection and use of statistical approaches at the RIKEN Brain Science Institute in Japan in 2008. Mondal has also developed and taught several interdisciplinary statistics courses at Clarkson.
Mondal is a member of the American Statistical Association, the Institute of Mathematical Statistics, the American Mathematical Society and the Indian International Statistical Association. She has frequently served as an ad hoc reviewer for highly respected academic journals in the area of applied statistics. Mondal's research has been supported through the grants from the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, and other funding agencies.
Clarkson University launches leaders into the global economy. One in five alumni already leads as a CEO, VP or equivalent senior executive of a company. Located just outside the Adirondack Park in Potsdam, N.Y., Clarkson is a nationally recognized research university for undergraduates with select graduate programs in signature areas of academic excellence directed toward the world's pressing issues. Through 50 rigorous programs of study in engineering, business, arts, sciences and health sciences, the entire learning-living community spans boundaries across disciplines, nations and cultures to build powers of observation, challenge the status quo, and connect discovery and engineering innovation with enterprise.

1. Bad Cat Cougar Series
Bad Cat announced a partnership with Hanser Music Group at Summer NAMM. The Kentucky-based distributor of brands such as Kustom and B.C. Rich is offering three new PCB-construction amps designed by Bad Cat's James Heidrich but offered at more affordable prices than US-made Bad Cats. The Cougar 50 head features two footswitchable channels and tube-driven reverb, and is powered by JJ EL34s. A 2x12 combo is also available, in addition to the 5-watt Cougar 5, which features an EL84 power tube, three knobs (Volume, Master, and Tone), and a Celestion Vintage 30.
2. Wavelength AudioTone Bank AG
Wavelength's chief scientist Gordon Rankin says the secret to the Tone Bank AG—which uses 100 percent silver wiring (including in the transformers), an EL84 power tube, and an RCA 5693 preamp tube—is that the reactor follower driver directly couples the driver stage to the output tube and takes the amp from class A to class A2, thus increasing output by 40 percent.
3. Little Walter SB5 Head
Little Walter's new SB5 features one 6V6 power tube for 5 watts, a 6SJ7 preamp tube, and a 5Y3 rectifier for unadulterated tube goodness.
4. ValveTrain Bennington Reverb
The point-to-point-wired Bennington Reverb is a 20-watt, fixed-biased combo that uses two 6V6s and an Eminence Wizard 12" speaker to crank out deliciously snappy, blackface-style tones. Controls include Volume, Bass, Treble, and Reverb knobs, as well as a Bright switch.
5. Moss Amps Kraken
The 6L6-powered Kraken head is switchable between 50 and 100 watts, and features footswitchable clean and lead channels that are handwired using eyelet boards. Each channel has Volume, Treble, Mid, Bass, and Master Volume knobs, while a Master Presence brightens both channels and a push-pull bright function on the clean channel makes things even spankier.

Miami Heat
LeBron James, Miami Heat has magic touch against Orlando
The verdict was still out on Dwyane Wade's knee through the first half. Then, in an instant, he put all minds at ease.
Wade's driving dunks in the third quarter announced his successful return from missing consecutive games because of knee soreness, and the plays were the most significant development on a night the Heat came from behind to defeat Orlando 101-99. The Heat defeated the Magic by 28 points on Wednesday.
Wade went 1 of 6 from the field in the first half and appeared to favor his right knee on a few plays.
The poor start was enough to raise concerns, considering Wade hadn't played in a week. Saturday was the Wade's first action since checking himself out of a game in Charlotte because of soreness in his knee.
But Wade returned to the court with new purpose in the third quarter and helped the Heat come back from a 16-point deficit.
The Heat trailed 55-39 at halftime, but Wade's driving dunk with 8:54 left in the third quarter cut the Magic's lead to 55-49. Wade penetrated through the heart of the Magic's defense and finished easily with an emphatic one-handed dunk.
Minutes later, Wade delivered a near carbon copy of the first dunk.
thrilling finish
This time, his one-handed flush through the lane cut the Magic's lead to single digits. Wade went 4 of 5 in the third quarter for nine points, and the Heat outscored the Magic 32-22.
The offensive surge after such a sluggish start set the stage for an exciting finish.
The Heat trailed 77-71 to begin the final period and took its first lead with 4:33 left in the game on a 17-footer by Chris Bosh. Miami then led by four points with 1:44 remaining after a 20-footer by Bosh, but the Magic tied the score after Wade missed 1 of 2 free throws and Orlando forward Glen Davis converted a difficult three-point play.
With the Magic trailing by three points with 40 seconds to go, Davis pumped-faked past Wade at the top of the perimeter and then drew contact on Bosh under the basket.
Davis' layup and free throw tied the game at 99-99 with 37 seconds left and set the stage for some late-game heroics by LeBron James.
James drilled a 15-foot jumper with 15.1 seconds left to give the Heat a 101-99 lead and, after a timeout, the Magic missed two shots to tie it. Arron Afflalo missed a driving layup under heavy duress, but rookie Victor Oladipo came down with the offensive rebound.
He then missed a wide-open baseline jumper from seven feet at the buzzer.
Wade finished with 27 points, which was two points off his high for the season. He had 19 points in the second half and was 9 of 16 from the field overall.
James had 22 points after scoring just three points in the first half.
The Heat's 39 points in the game's first 24 minutes was a season low in scoring for a half. Miami shot 41.5 percent from the field in the first half.
Bosh had 16 points and six rebounds, and Michael Beasley went 4 of 4 from the field in the first half for nine points when no one else in red jerseys could make a basket.
The Heat wore limited edition "red-zone" jerseys but started the game anything but red-hot.
The Heat has won six in a row since losing to the Celtics at the buzzer. Miami was outrebounded 41-33 but committed just 12 turnovers.
Afflalo led Magic (4-8) starters with 18 points and seven rebounds, and Oladipo had 17 points and seven rebounds. Center Nikola Vucevic had 11 points and nine rebounds. Davis had 20 points off the bench.
Orlando was 9 of 13 from three-point range in the first half but finished the game 10 of 23 from distance.

I made a few tests I could not install inside windows ..as i could with gOS beta the "Wubi" installer is gone on this version…Is this just a fluke or is this the way all gOS and Ubuntu 8.04.1 versions will be..I sort of liked the Wubi and could run XP pro and 15 gb of gOS with in the same hard drive. So is this not possible ?? It no longer launces from winthing windows envrionment to a partitioned program…Just curious Like the new start up sound and screen res to 1450 for me..and all together nice super but I had intended to use this as a dual boot system ..Should I put Gos beta 3 back in and then install this over that ??

Installing a firewall, antivirus tool and spyware detector will keep many external dangers locked out of your PC, but they don't make you entirely secure. Anyone who has access to your system can still browse all your most confidential files, unless you encrypt them with a tool like AxCrypt.
The program is surprisingly straightforward in operation. It doesn't require any configuration, at all. If you want to encrypt a file, just right-click it, choose the new AxCrypt menu and select one of the Encrypt options, enter your passphrase, and that's it. The file will be protected with AES 128-bit encryption, and no-one else is going to view it unless they know the passphrase.
AxCrypt makes it unusually convenient to work with encrypted files. If you want to view an encrypted document, just double-click it as normal, enter your passphrase and it'll be displayed in the associated application. Change the document and it'll automatically be re-encrypted, too, so your data will stay protected with the absolute minimum of hassle.
The program also includes an option to convert your document into a self-extracting file; email it to a friend, and they can use your passphrase to view the contents. A "Shred and Delete" option will securely wipe a confidential file, making it virtually impossible to recover the contents. And support for files larger than 4GB means you can be sure that AxCrypt will be able to protect all your files.
Quick, simple, effective and free, this is the perfect choice to encrypt your private files

Bahrain GP to be held amid rights concerns
Published: 17th April 2013 10:41 AM | Last Updated: 17th April 2013 10:41 AM | A+A A-
Bahrain Grand Prix returns this week to Bahrain, casting the spotlight a series that has defied criticism to race while a bloody, political crisis has engulfed of the West's most important allies in the region.
The Bahrain Grand Prix has drawn less attention than a year ago when F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone at the last minute decided to go ahead with the race despite calls by some rights groups for a boycott. But criticism has intensified in the past week, after explosions sparked security concerns and a Human Rights Watch last week alleged that authorities rounded up activists living around the track in a bid to "silence" dissent ahead of Sunday's race.
Amnesty International also criticized a decree that imposes penalties of up five years in prison for insulting the Gulf state's king or its national symbols, while a group of British parliamentarians sent a letter to Ecclestone calling for the race to be cancelled.
"I think most democratic-minded people would be appalled if you allowed the Bahrain leg of the championship to go ahead amid the most atrocious human rights violations," the All Party Parliamentary Group for Democracy in Bahrain said in the letter.
Organizers understandably would like the focus to be the track, where another wide-open season is unfolding after Ferrari's Fernando Alonso won the Chinese Grand Prix to become the third winner in as many GPs.
Much of the racing focus will be Alonso, who ended a 12-race drought in Shanghai last weekend and is aiming to offer further proof in Bahrain that the Ferrari can compete this year with three-time defending champion Sebastian Vettel.
Ecclestone, as he has done in years past, has insisted that the circuit is safe and that the race would go .
Speaking in China, Ecclestone told reporters he had sympathy for both sides and was hopeful the race would go off peacefully.
"If we hear about anything that goes and it's bad, for sure we don't want to be in that country," Ecclestone said. "Don't forget when we had apartheid in South Africa, I was the who pulled the race, so I'm the last guy to help out with this."
Organizers have tried to play down the unrest, insisting ticket sales are up 20 percent from last year and emphasizing how the race could help unify the country and bring in much-needed tourist revenue — with some $220 million generated from the race.
"Motor racing in Bahrain is a sport which has had support from all parts of Bahrain society for many years," said the circuit chief executive Sheik Salman bin Isa Al-Khalifa, noting that 77 percent of people in a survey supported the race.
It remains to be seen how many fans will come to Bahrain amid tight security and expectations of daily clashes between Sunni-led authorities and majority Shiites seeking a greater political voice.
Bahrain authorities this week said they would step up security following a gas cylinder blast that set a car ablaze in the financial district. The attacks caused no injuries and limited damage, but sent a message that anti-government militants could step up violence before Sunday's race.
Security forces early Tuesday fired tear gas into a high school to break up a protest of students demonstrating against the detention of a classmate overnight.
The increased security was display Tuesday, with armored vehicles and checkpoints dotting Manama and helicopters flying overhead. There was also increased police the highway leading to the Bahrain International Circuit to prevent protesters from blocking roads with burning tires.
The race last year went off incident free. But it was overshadowed by the huge anti-government protests and a firebomb that briefly delayed a Force India car and prompted the team to pull out of the second practice.
Much the same as 2012, the teams have mostly dodged the question of racing in Bahrain. However, Franz Tost, team principal of Toro Rosso, endorsed the race going ahead.
"I don't see any problems going to Bahrain," Tost said. "I'm looking forward to going there. is entertainment. We should not be involved in politics. We should go there, do our race."
But 1996 world champion Damon Hill has demanded that FIA president Jean Todt take an ethical stance Bahrain hosting the race.
"He's not said anything that has distanced the sport from things that it would find distasteful and upsetting, which I believe everybody in the sport would actually like to do," Hill told British reporters in Shanghai last week.
"I think the vast majority of the people in would like to say 'We don't want to come here to make things worse for people,'" he said. "'We would like you to enjoy , we think has lots of positive things to offer, but please don't, our behalf, round up people and brutalize them.'"
The competing messages over F1 were full display this week in the Bahrain capital Manama, where huge signs promoting the race contrasted with the tear gas and angry, anti-government chants echoing through some Shiite-majority villages.
Carrying portraits of some of those killed in the nearly three-year uprising and signs calling for a boycott of F1, protesters Monday warned those attending the race will effectively have blood their hands.
"Our message to the world is to say you are racing our blood," said Sadiq Yousef, a 44-year-old protester. "Before, I was not protesting. But after my wife and daughter were attacked, I realized the regime was starting to treat us like slaves."
Most protesters seemed to be resigned to the fact the race would go but were hopeful that it will shed light and revive interest in a conflict that has largely been overshadowed by the civil war in Syria and post-revolution unrest in Egypt.
"We are demanding democracy. It is our right," said Hussain al-Ghanmi, another protester. "We will keep marching in the streets until our voices are heard around the world. I think the international community will support our demands because we are demanding our rights."

Apple is paid an estimated $1 billion a year by Google for positioning its search engine as the default option on iOS devices, an analyst has said.
In a report titled "The Next Google Is Google," Morgan Stanley analyst Scott Devitt wrote that he believes Apple and Google have agreed to a "fee per device" search agreement rather than a revenue sharing deal, in order to simplify accounting and allow Apple to collect upfront payments.
Apple made $13 billion in profit last quarter alone, so $1 billion per year from Google isn't huge, but it does offer Apple a nice pure profit stream that requires little effort for the company, reports Business Insider.
The deal also means that Google remains the prime search engine for iOS devices, which the company is believed to have earned 80 per cent of its ad revenue from between 2008 and 2011.
Devitt estimates that Google also pays $300 million a year to Mozilla to ensure that it is the default search engine for Firefox.
Last year, Apple booted the YouTube app out of its iOS defaults with the launch of iOS 6, and also replaced Google Maps with its own mapping service, which has been widely criticised.

Hello all,
I've implemented a basic transform from DCIL to D4 (it's the programming language used in Dataphor, please see http://www.dataphor.org), and used it to import my ORM model into Dataphor. Some features are still lacking (e.g. mapping of decimal places), but I'll hopefully resolve some of them over the next few weeks.
I've tried to build NORMA on Visual Studio 2012, but couldn't (build fails for some reasons), so the way I'm using at the moment is a bit long-winded:
So it works, and I'm planning on adding some other features to it. However, I would like to build NORMA properly, so that the D4 transform could be integrated into the next versions of NORMA.
Now my question is, I guess, what's the way forward? Will somebody incorporate the changes for me, or help me with troubleshooting my NORMA build on VS2012, so that I could send a proper patch?
The DCIL to D4 transform is located here: https://gist.github.com/ashalkhakov/7526578
Hello Artyom,
Thank you for your interest in NORMA. There are several approaches here ranging from direct NORMA integration to installation of your own Dataphor-specific extensions handled as an add-on to NORMA.
I had not heard of Dataphor until this post, but they appear to be located a few miles south of my location. Are you associated with the company, or an external power user?
Adding generation transforms is pretty straightforward and can be done without a full NORMA build. These aren't really DIL, which is an XML language that represents traditional SQL (DDL and DML) constructs. So, a D4 generator would go in its own directory.
(For the casual reader, the rest of these is boringly technical. We should take details beyond this off line).
The VS2012 build process should run as described in the README.txt file in the source root directory. The development builds are designed to run in the standard Visual Studio Experimental environment (devenv.exe /rootsuffix exp). While you can easily attach and debug a setup-installed NORMA from the source tree, I strongly recommend against trying to build the project with a setup install already in place, unless you enjoy hand-cleaning the global assembly cache (GAC).
The sourceforge repository is mirrored off of a private repository, I don't use it for live development.
To build, you need the prerequisites (VS2012 Pro, VSSDK, DSL Tools SDK, PLiX installer that comes with NORMA). This should let you run FirstTimeBuildVS2012.bat from a VS2012 command prompt (as administrator recommended). This runs the BuildDevTools.bat and Build.bat files for VS2012. I've seen odd build error ordering issues with BuildDevToolsVS2012.bat, just keep running it until it runs cleanly (I know this doesn't sound encouraging, but this only needs to be run once per the lifetime of a machine). After the devtools build cleanly, BuildVS2012.bat /t:Rebuild will give you a clean build of the rest. I do not recommend the BuildAll*, BuildTests*, or BuildSetup* variants as these need significantly more stuff. The magic environment variable for VS2012 is TargetVisualStudioVersion=v11.0. This needs to be set before opening any of the *VS2012.sln files.
Do not run the regen all files in a solution. This regenerates all of the PLiX files (my XML-based code generation system), plus all of the DSL-generated files (the T4 templates shipped with the DSL toolkit). I've had to make several changes to the stock DSL generators to handle everything from naive handling of 1-1 relationship handling to valid XML doc comment generation. However, these templates are not open source and I do not have the rights to post them publicly, so you'll need to get them from me privately. I also haven't tried the VS2012 DSL generators (the 2005 code works for 05 and 08, 2010 works for 2012) and don't have the corresponding template tweaks, so I guess I'm not 100% build capable on VS2012 (I also haven't ported all of the testing bits to all platforms).
Having said all of that, you don't really need to build the full project to install generators. The NORMA code generators are only loosely attached to the designer (one registry entry to add ORMCustomTool to any .orm file in a project, one automation object callback to get a snapshot of the current (potentially unsaved) XML, and another automation object callback to turn on required extensions). (Sorry, this is far from obvious) All of the generators are installed when the ORMCustomTool generator is built, which calls Tools\ORMCustomTool\Install.bat. The easiest approach to add your own extensions is to just copy that file and blow away most of it. The 'setupenvironment' call at the top is important. You can also edit the SetupEnvironment.bat file to install against the main VS branch instead of a debug build (search for Exp in that file).
The .sln files under the XML directory are for convenience and are not part of the build.
Matthew Curland:I had not heard of Dataphor until this post, but they appear to be located a few miles south of my location. Are you associated with the company, or an external power user?

Just wanted to say that I've created a project on Bitbucket containing some NORMA-related tools:
It currently contains generators for D4 (Dataphor) and SQLite, and a preliminary tool to visualize ORM diagrams produced by NORMA. It is kind of like the one on the ormsolutions.com website, but it's source code is available.

The Private Side of Social Media
February 14, 2014
By Mary Leigh Bliss, MediaPost
Millennials have come to be known as the over-sharing generation. But after years of broadcasting their lives on Facebook profiles and Twitter feeds under profiles tied to their real names and real lives, Millennials are looking for ways to share their thoughts with fewer consequences. They're still sharing and looking for outlets to send out their thoughts and voices, but there is a new desire for privacy, secrecy, and anonymity in social media. The Facebookers are becoming the faceless.
Younger Millennials, who tend to be more pragmatic than their older counterparts, are fuelling the trend. Perhaps watching their older brothers and sisters pay the price for unfiltered sharing has made them more wary, or it may be their own experiences with drama and bullying on more public and large social networks that are fuelling their new desire for a more sheltered way of sharing. In our conversations with them, we often hear that a major drawback of Facebook is the judgement that is attached to every action taken there.
Among some teens that we have spoken to, Facebook has gotten somewhat of a bad reputation as a platform where people go to show off and instigate FOMO (fear of missing out) since posts on the network are published to a large audience. After carefully curating their public personas almost their entire lives, these Millennials are looking for a less exhausting form of communication — one that lets them share the pieces of themselves that they don't want the entire world to see.
We see them being drawn to networks that make them feel less judged and more safe. Messaging apps with smaller circles of friends and more purposeful (often image-based) functions are attracting them in droves, especially over the last year. Snapchat's messages disappear after a short period of time, and Instagram is seen as more expressive, creative, and ultimately curated, giving it more value and social currency.
We Heart It, which we profiled in our Q&A with CEO Ranah Edelin, has found that their Millennial users are looking for a "more positive and supportive community…[and to be] able to express themselves in an authentic way without fear of backlash or negative feedback from the community." The lack of comments on the network has fostered the positivity and safety that they are looking for. Without a comment system, all actions on the site — contributing, liking, and following — become inherently positive. The craving for a positive and safe space is a consistent theme in the new, often more single-purpose, apps and networks that young users are being drawn to.
The mobile app Whisper is probably the best example of the rising popularity of privacy and facelessness online. Whisper's sole purpose is the sharing of secrets. Seventy percent of Whisper's users are women, and most are between 17 and 28 years old. Users from around the world share their private thoughts through anonymous posts, where their words are layered over a compelling image, and no profile is required to contribute a post. Though there is some hook-up messaging (a fairly unavoidable output of any network involving teens and 20-somethings) the feeds on the app are overwhelmingly about exposing the private, intimate thoughts and problems of users.
Some are looking for support, but many just want a place they can air their problems without consequences. Whisper's founder says that the app provides a place for users to be "who you are when no one is looking." Interestingly, the editor-in-chief of Whisper calls it "the anti-Facebook," a sentiment that is echoed in popular posts on the app that declare things like "I love Whisper because I'm not afraid to be myself," and "I remain filtered on Facebook while I can be completely candid on Whisper."
The rise in popularity of these curated apps that do more to shelter their users from judgement and the marring of their "real" personas has been brewing for some time. However, now it is truly emerging as a new preference for Millennials who are looking to incorporate privacy into their online lives — while still sharing everything about them.

TUESDAY, Jan. 10, 2012 (HealthDay News) -- Diabetes is a costly disease, and new research suggests those costs may extend far beyond the obvious expense of medicine and related health care.
The study authors found that young people with diabetes were more likely to drop out of high school and, over a lifetime, could expect to earn about $160,000 less than those without diabetes.
"A lot of studies, when they look at the toll diabetes takes, look at medical expenses when people are much older. We wanted to look at people who were much younger, and to look at non-medical outcomes and expenses. We found a pretty large difference in individuals with diabetes and their peers," said Jason Fletcher, an associate professor in the division of health policy and administration at Yale University.
The findings are published in the January issue of Health Affairs.
More than 23 million people in the United States have diabetes, according to background information in the report. And, previous research from the American Diabetes Association has shown that direct medical costs average about $6,649 a year for people with diabetes.
However, direct medical costs aren't the only extra expenses faced by people living with diabetes.
The current study used data from the U.S. National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health to attempt to assess some of those non-medical costs.
The study began between 1994 and 1995, and surveyed about 15,000 teens in grades 7 through 12. The same students were surveyed again at three different times: in 1996, 2001/2002 and in 2008. At the time of the last survey, the study participants were around 30 years old.
About one-quarter of a percent (approximately 385) of those studied said they had ever been diagnosed with diabetes. They weren't asked which type of diabetes they had. However, in a younger population, type 1 diabetes is the more prevalent type.
After compensating for potential confounding factors, such as other illnesses and family background, the investigators found that people with diabetes completed an average of one-quarter of a school year less than their peers without diabetes.
The researchers also found that having diabetes significantly increased the risk of dropping out of high school, by an average of 6 percent. In addition, people with diabetes were between 8 percent and 13 percent less likely to attend college.
Surprisingly, having a parent with diabetes also seems to impact education and earnings, lowering the chances of attending college by another 4 percent to 6 percent.
Once out of school, having diabetes appears to affect earnings as well. Over a 40-year work lifetime, the study found that people with diabetes make $160,000 less per person than do people without the disease.
Though the study wasn't designed to explore the reasons behind the differences, Fletcher said there are likely many factors at play.
During their school years, people with diabetes tend to have more frequent absences, and while in any given year such absences might not seem like much, they can add up to a substantial amount of missed schooling over time, Fletcher explained.
Absences may also cost people with diabetes in terms of earnings, said Fletcher. And, if someone with diabetes has dropped out of school, it's likely they would earn less at work. Another possibility is something called "job lock," according to the study authors. Fletcher said this occurs when people with diabetes feel like they can't leave their job, even if they don't like it, because they are afraid of losing their health insurance.
"I was surprised and disturbed by the study's findings," said William Polonsky, CEO of the Behavioral Diabetes Institute and an associate clinical professor in psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego.
But, he pointed out, "if these findings are true for this group of kids from the early 1990s, they're probably not anymore." He said that changes in diabetes management over the past 20 or 30 years have made a significant difference in the way people with diabetes live.
"In the past, some people were told by their physicians that they weren't going to live too long, probably not even past 30 or 40," which would certainly have had an impact on how someone would view schooling and long-term career plans, said Polonsky.
Now, most young people with type 1 diabetes can expect to have a normal or close-to-normal life span, he said. And, he added, "It behooves us to get the word out to patients and employers that we can now say, 'With good care, that you can live a longer, healthy life with diabetes.'"

The display and use of drug information on this site is subject to express terms of use. By continuing to view the drug information, you agree to abide by such terms of use.
GENERIC NAME: PROCAINAMIDE - ORAL (pro-CANE-uh-mide)
BRAND NAME(S): Procanbid, Pronestyl
Warning | Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
WARNING: Prolonged use of procainamide may frequently cause the body to make certain immune molecules (antinuclear antibodies) that may make you ill. Contact your doctor immediately if you develop symptoms of this type of immune illness (e.g., skin sores/hives, muscle/joint aches, fever, chills, painful breathing). Your doctor may be monitoring you with a blood test for these antibodies, and if you have them, your doctor will decide if continued use of this medication is right for you.
Although this medication and others like it are used to treat certain kinds of abnormal heartbeats, they may rarely cause serious (sometimes fatal) irregular heartbeats. Therefore, procainamide should be used carefully in selected patients only (see Uses section). Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more information.
Procainamide can rarely cause severe changes in blood cell counts, including white cells, red cells, and blood clotting cells (platelets). Notify your doctor immediately if you develop signs of a serious infection (e.g., fever, severe chills, persistent sore throat, muscle/joint aches), signs of anemia (e.g., tiredness, pale skin, faster heartbeat), or easy bruising/bleeding.
USES: This medication is used to treat a certain serious (possibly life-threatening), persistent, abnormally fast heartbeat (sustained ventricular tachycardia). Procainamide belongs to a class of drugs known as antidysrhythmics. It works by blocking the abnormal electrical activity of an abnormal heartbeat so that the normal heartbeat can occur.
HOW TO USE: This medication may be started at a low dose in the hospital so that your doctor can determine the best dose, increase it gradually as needed, and monitor you closely for side effects.Different kinds of procainamide taken by mouth should be taken in different ways. Each time you get a refill, make sure you have received the correct kind of procainamide. Do not change kinds of procainamide unless directed by your doctor. Doing so could increase side effects or decrease the effectiveness of the medication.Take this medication by mouth exactly as prescribed by your doctor. You may take it with or without food, but it is important to choose one way and take it consistently, either with or without food. Depending on the kind of procainamide you are prescribed, take it 2-4 times daily as directed.If you are taking the extended-release tablet, do not crush or chew them. Doing so can release all of the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects. Also, do not split extended-release tablets unless they have a score line and your doctor or pharmacist tells you to do so. Swallow the whole or split tablet without crushing or chewing. You may see the empty extended-release tablet shell in your stool. This is harmless.Dosage is based on your medical condition, kidney/liver function, how fast your body gets rid of procainamide, other medications you may be taking, and response to therapy.This medication works best when the amount of drug in your body is kept at a constant level. Therefore, take this drug at evenly spaced intervals. To help you remember, take it at the same times each day. It is very important to avoid running out of this medication. Therefore, always order your refills several days early.Do not take more or less of this drug than prescribed or stop taking it (or other heart medicines) even for a short time unless directed to do so by your doctor. Skipping or changing your dose without approval from your doctor may cause your abnormal heartbeat to return.Contact your doctor immediately and seek emergency medical attention (e.g., call -911, have someone else drive you to a hospital emergency room) if your condition persists or worsens.
SIDE EFFECTS: Nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, diarrhea, and bitter taste in the mouth may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication for a longer time may develop serious side effects, but with frequent visits to your doctor, this risk can be minimized. (See Warning section.)Tell your doctor immediately if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: symptoms of liver problems (e.g., persistent nausea, stomach/abdominal pain, dark urine, yellowing eyes/skin), worsening symptoms of heart failure (e.g., ankle/leg swelling, increased tiredness, increased shortness of breath when lying down).Seek immediate medical attention if any of these unlikely but serious side effects occur: severe dizziness, fainting, sudden change in heartbeat (unusually faster/slower/more irregular), chest pain.Tell your doctor immediately if any of these rare but very serious side effects occur: seizures, mental/mood changes (e.g., depression, confusion, unusual thoughts/behavior, hallucinations), muscle pain/weakness, dry mouth/eyes.A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, seek immediate medical attention if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.In the US -Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.
PRECAUTIONS: Before taking procainamide, tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it; or to local anesthetics (e.g., procaine); or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems. Talk to your pharmacist for more details.This medication should not be used if you have certain medical conditions. Before using this medicine, consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have: certain heart problems (second- or third-degree atrioventricular block or bundle branch block unless you have a heart pacemaker), a certain immune problem (lupus).Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: first-degree atrioventricular block, new or recent heart attack, worsening chest pain (angina), low blood pressure, kidney problems, liver problems, myasthenia gravis.Procainamide may cause a condition that affects the heart rhythm (QT prolongation). QT prolongation can infrequently result in serious (rarely fatal) fast/irregular heartbeat and other symptoms (such as severe dizziness, fainting) that need medical attention right away.The risk of QT prolongation may be increased if you have certain medical conditions or are taking other drugs that may cause QT prolongation. Before using procainamide, tell your doctor or pharmacist of all the drugs you take and if you have any of the following conditions: certain heart problems (heart failure, slow heartbeat, QT prolongation in the EKG), family history of certain heart problems (QT prolongation in the EKG, sudden cardiac death).Low levels of potassium or magnesium in the blood may also increase your risk of QT prolongation. This risk may increase if you use certain drugs (such as diuretics/"water pills") or if you have conditions such as severe sweating, diarrhea, or vomiting. Talk to your doctor about using procainamide safely.Contact your doctor immediately if you develop other illnesses/conditions such as prolonged diarrhea, large quantities of diarrhea, heavy sweating, vomiting, prolonged loss of appetite, or prolonged loss of desire to drink water. These conditions could cause you to have serious changes in blood minerals, leading to increased side effects.This drug may rarely make you dizzy or drowsy. Do not drive, use machinery, or do any activity that requires alertness until you are sure you can perform such activities safely. Limit alcoholic beverages.Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially QT prolongation (see above).During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.This medication passes into breast milk and may have undesirable effects on a nursing infant. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.

SEOUL, July 10 (UPI) -- South Korea has expressed regret over a truck-ramming incident at the gates of the Japanese Embassy in Seoul.
Police arrived on the scene and immediately arrested the 62-year-old driver of a 1-ton truck that embedded itself in the main embassy gate at around 5 a.m., a report by Yonhap news agency said.
No damage was reported, though the main gate was pushed back several feet, Yonhap said.
"The Korean government expressed regrets to the Japanese Embassy over the incident and will take necessary measures, including tighter security near the embassy," a senior official at Seoul's Foreign Ministry said.
The driver, named Kim, said he smashed into the gates to protest what amounted to an insult by another protester, a Japanese man named Nobuyuki Suzuki.
In December former Korean sex slaves, or comfort women, and their supporters set up a bronze statue of a young girl in front of the Japanese Embassy. The statue is a symbol of defiance against their treatment by Japanese soldiers during the occupation in World War II.
Nobuyuki later posted a video clip on his blog showing him setting up his protest, which read "Dokdo is Japanese territory," a reference to Japan's claim to the disputed islands in the South China Sea.
A group of 10 local women who were comfort women filed a defamation suit with a Seoul prosecutor's office against Nobuyuki earlier this month, Yonhap reported.
Police said Kim rammed the Japanese Embassy gates to protest Nobuyuki's use of the statue, which he said was an insult to Koreans.
Japan reportedly lodged a formal diplomatic protest about the incident and requested tighter security.
The Dokdo Islands are in reality a group of two main islets rising to nearly 560 feet and surrounded by dozens of sharp rocks protruding from the sea. They are sometimes called the Liancourt Rocks and known by the Japanese as Takeshima.
The volcanic rock islands are 46 acres in area and are slightly closer to mainland South Korea, around 135 miles, than Japan, 155 miles. The nearest land mass is Korea's Ulleung-do Island at about 55 miles away.
Like many disputed islands in the South China Sea they have little use as an inhabitable area and offer some appeal as an ecological point of interest.
Their real value lies in the accompanying ownership of the surrounding sea because of fish resources as well as oil and gas deposits on the seabed.

Kelly Clarkson Makes Exciting Discovery in New 'Who Do You Think You Are?' Promo
Kelly Clarkson is scheduled to appear on the new season of 'Who Do You Think You Are?,' a show which helps celebrities track their heritage, history and ancestry in order to learn about their family tree. In a new promo for the upcoming season, which launches July 23 on TLC, the 'Tie It Up' singer makes an exciting discovery…
…but we don't quite know what it is yet. "Oh my gosh, is this his picture?" the 'Tie It Up' songstress gushes in the clip when she is presented with a piece of paper. From afar, it looks like a birth certificate or some sort of official document.
Clarkson is later shown wiping away tears from her eyes, so clearly, there is some big news revealed in this episode. The songstress was spotted in Georgia earlier this year, and her visit was said to be for her participation in the episode. As the singer prepares to wed fiancé Brandon Blackstock, now is as good a time as any for her to fill in the gaps about her history or to learn things she may be curious about, since she will likely be starting a family of her own soon.
We look forward to learning more about the singer's big reveal.
Fellow country singer Trisha Yearwood is also featured in an episode of 'Who Do You Think You Are?' this season. Reba McEntire followed her lineage across the pond in 2012.

This was taken in the city garden park. It's one of my favorite pictures. I can see hubby man's ring shining on his finger. I think he was glad to sit because the shoes that came with the tux he rented were 2 sizes too small. That tux was a real pistol. All the tuxes were delivered on time except for his. He literally got possession of it just hours before the ceremony. He never mentioned any of this to me though; he didn't want me to worry about anything. Oh, and this is a photo of the original photo, so it's kind of wonky-warpy looking. (I think I just made up a word.)
We certainly have had many blessings and some heartache along the way. The good has been really, really good, and the heartache ... well, let's just say that we are really good in crisis mode. My hubby and I truly circle the wagons and pull together during a crisis. I truly believe these situations have been some of our finest hours. Let's recap:Blessings:
- Each other (Hubby provided the correct answer of Yes, he would marry me again if he had the choice. Aw, nice guy.)
- 3 great children -- kind, loving, smart, and spiritual. Keepers they are, all three of them.
- 5 pets; 2 of whom are still with us. (Kitty cats)
- Health and plenty of food.
- Extended family. (Who call, email, and visit us and like it when we reciprocate.)
- Good friends, both old and new.
- Adventure of moving across country away from friends and family. (Exciting and sad at the same time.)
- Our own home complete with memories of birthdays, holidays, hugs, and kisses.
- Vacations both fancy and rustic.
- Son's Epilepsy diagnosis. (This is one of those finest hour moments. He is amazing!)
- Son critically ill in 12/06. (Another one of those finest hour moments.)
- 3 Miscarriages that broke my heart.
- Deaths of Sister and Best Friend. (Both were in my wedding.)
- Deaths of both Mother In-Law and Father In-Law, and Adult Nephew Billy.
- Moving away from family. (Wish kids could play with their cousins and spend every holiday with relatives.)
- Getting run over crossing the street in the Virgin Islands on our honeymoon. OUCH! That was not fun. Nope, nada. When I asked hubby man if there is anything in the past 25 years that he'd do differently if he could, he said that he would look the other way before crossing the street on our honeymoon. (They drive on the opposite side of the road than what we are accustomed to.)
Shhhh ... don't tell anyone that I wasn't 21 yet when this toast was taking place! Our reception was the best party ever! We danced and danced, and laughed and laughed. My Italian relatives all drove to Indiana, and hubby felt like the Mafia had arrived with all those bold Italian men with their dark hair and white shirts. Of course, we danced the Tarantella just the same as all my relatives before me. The colors are fading in these photos. I actually have very dark hair and hubby man was blond back then. Plus, the bubbly we are drinking is, well, bubbly colored not apple cider color. This is another photo of a photo in an album, so you can see the vignette mat around our heads. oops. I wonder what the blogsphere will be like when I celebrate my 50th anniversary! Happy Day everyone ... have some wine and chocolate, and hug the ones you love!

When Carmen plays viola she feels his love soar down through the veins in her arm, and she pushes it through her bow. When her father's heart stopped last year, the pain began in his shoulder and etched its way down his arm, but he didn't let it out because he didn't know what it was, what was being asked of him.
People say it's a mystery, this kind of love, that it's unconditional, but people are wrong. Carmen wishes this weren't the case. She wishes that she and Jesus could have forgiven her father for the girl at the office who sent him out on his construction jobs. But her father never asked for forgiveness, and even Jesus requires that much.
Her father left his cell phone in the kitchen drawer when he was home, forgot about it while her mother cleaned houses and he napped on the couch or pulled weeds from the potted tomato plants he kept on the balcony. But even on vibrate, Carmen could hear his phone in the drawer when she got home from school, and she went to it. She hated to give the calls to her father, but the calls meant money. "Put him on," the girl would say over Carmen's long silences, her voice reedy and crisp and smelling like mint even over phone. "Give him to me."
Carmen divides the world up into orchestra and band. The girl who sent her father out on construction jobs and texted photos of herself over the phone that Carmen is sure would have shocked even the middle school boys who drew penises on the inside covers of pre-algebra textbooks, was band. She was a trombone or maybe snare drum. Something showy and loud. Carmen worried about her appearing at her father's funeral. She had only seen pictures of her on the small screen of her father's cell phone, but Carmen knew she'd recognize her. She imagined the church doors opening, and the girl surrounded by thick gusts of air, her hair blown back around her face, her thick, pouty lips pink and wet.
The girl was marching band, Carmen decided as she scanned the church, twisted around in the front pew, looking over the heads of her uncles and aunts and cousins. She had already moved on.
Carmen likes orchestra rehearsal, but she doesn't like Jenna, the first chair violin seated next to Carmen every Tuesday and Thursday they meet to rehearse. Carmen has heard one of her uncles say that he smells money when he goes to the racetrack, that that's how he picks his horses. When Jenna leans over her violin with her clean blond hair cut into thick layers that fall around her face, Carmen smells money, which, she decides, is cinnamon mixed with chlorine and talcum powder. Jenna wears white sneakers and small gold earrings and chews gum so quietly that she's never asked to spit it out, even in French class where Madame Toulec walks up and down the aisles with her tiny pink trash can in one hand and violet-scented tissues in the other.
The door to the music room opens as they are finishing rehearsing Bach's Brandenburg 3. "I have donuts," a boy in the doorway, someone's little brother, says. This is a difficult piece, and they aren't even close to getting it right yet. They need to run through it again in parts and then from the beginning. The second violin section is coming in a beat too late. One of the cellos is hitting a B flat instead of a sharp. As first chair violin, it's Jenna's job to lead them, but Jenna is a terrible leader. She is already laughing and folding up her sheet music. Carmen looks to Mr. Korman for back-up, but he's doing crossword puzzles at his desk in his little office attached to the rehearsal space and not looking up.
The boy has let himself in the music room now. He's wearing a baseball uniform and carrying a big white bag with handles. Carmen thinks of her own little brother who is probably this boy's age, eight maybe, or nine, but smaller, not just shorter. Her brother's ears stick out a little too much and his dark bangs long over his eyes. All of the other little brothers at Henry Middle School have spiky blond hair and noses peeling from sunburns, and they're dressed for baseball or soccer or basketball. They kick rocks across the playground and high five the most popular eighth-grade boys, the ones that Carmen has trouble looking in the eye when they are forced into group work together in history class. Carmen's brother comes home after school, puts on his pajamas and watches cartoons in Spanish. He hides behind their mother's leg when they are somewhere new.
The little brothers at Henry Middle School are band.
Carmen's little brother is orchestra.
Now that donuts are here, everyone has stopped playing. They do not know their music, and the bell hasn't rung yet, but class is apparently over. Carmen had expected more from her new school, has trouble accepting that the students here are in just as much of a hurry to get out of class as they were at Susan B. Anthony. That the only difference is that they all speak English and so far no one appears to be pregnant.
Jenna lets her violin fall onto the carpet that's so thin you can see through it in places. Carmen listens to the sounds of the strings tumbling all around her, the accidental notes that let out when a cello falls into a bass, the metal thud of a music stand being kicked over.
Maybe this is the sound of money, she thinks.
Carmen holds tight to her viola, which isn't hers at all, really, but on loan from Henry Middle the way her old one was on loan from Susan B. Anthony Middle.
In truth, Carmen would like a donut, but she will not join the orchestra, knocking each other out of the way to be the first to reach into the bag.
"We're not done," Carmen says instead.
"Fuck you," Luke says. Luke plays cello, but to Carmen he will always be band. He curses often and in a disarmingly good-natured way. Carmen is devoted to him secretly and completely. She is protective of her love for him as she is of her loaned viola, aware that neither will ever be hers.
She is a ransfer student from across town, new this year when a slot opened on the waiting list her mother put her on when a seventh grader at her old school got pregnant. The principal mailed home a rare note in English and Spanish, encouraging parents to discuss both abstinence and birth control with their children. Instead, Carmen's mother decided she should go to another school, one in the same neighborhood where she cleans houses.
Carmen has no one at Henry Middle School to confide in about Luke. Her friends from her old school called her stuck up and then stopped returning her text messages after she transferred. Carmen is alone with her feelings, which, she decides, makes her closer to Jesus, who was also alone, despite his great love for humanity.
Mr. Korman is out of his office now, saying, "Save one for me. Take it easy there, kids." Mr. Korman has a big belly that hangs over his belt, but from the back he looks thin. Each time he turns around his belly is an unhappy surprise to Carmen, like the Sunday school teacher she once had with the long smooth dyed blond hair and brown face full of wrinkles.
"Going, going, gone," Mr. Korman says, reaching deep into the white bag.
A half hour later, Carmen is alone in the music room with her viola. She is not really allowed to be in this classroom alone, but Mr. Korman trusts her to lock up behind her. All of the teachers trust her at her new middle school just like they trusted her at her old middle school and at her elementary school before that. She is the girl who takes the attendance down to the main office and walks the sick boy to the nurse's room. The girl who copies down the homework assignment from the board and never asks for an extension. At her old school, she didn't talk to the other girls in Advisory class about cramps and stealing cigarettes, and at her new school, she doesn't talk to them about skipping math tutoring and making out with high school boys. She is the girl who gets the certificate at the end of each marking period for never being tardy or absent.
Carmen is alone with her viola, the most misunderstood of instruments. Even the man at the music store where she buys her replacement strings pronounces it wrong. Vi-ola instead of vee-ola.
Her father didn't know what she played. My daughter the violin player, he used to brag to relatives at parties. Correcting him felt mean, like correcting his double negatives or the way he said the number three as if it didn't have an "h" in it. Viola, she said, under her breath. Viola, viola, viola.
Her parents are from El Salvador and learned English from the channel nine news, the world's problems in the background whenever they were home. She didn't forgive her father for the girl on the cell phone but she forgave him for not knowing the difference between a violin and a viola.
Once her body while she read each page, committing jokes to memory. How do you keep your violin from getting stolen? Put it in a viola case. What's the difference between a viola and a trampoline? You take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline.
In truth, when Carmen chose the viola as her instrument in fourth grade, she didn't know what she was picking from the "petting zoo" set up in the cafeteria. Embarrassed to try instruments without already knowing how to play, Carmen had pointed when it came to her turn. We finally have our viola player. Excellent, the music teacher said, making a note on her clipboard.
Carmen had learned to appreciate its sound later. The viola didn't squeal the way the violins did when you played a bad note. You didn't have to stand it up in public in front of you and wrap your arm around it the way you did a cello.
Mr. Korman thinks she stays in the music room to practice her viola. And she does, going over and over her scales. But she really stays to dance in the center of the empty room. Carmen has thick ankles, slightly bowed legs and slumped posture. She knows all of these things about herself. Her family never had money for dance lessons, and even if they had, Carmen wouldn't have asked for them. She doesn't want to pull pink tights over her thick ankles and learn what she's doing wrong. She doesn't want to line up next to girls who look like Jenna. She wants to dance alone.
When Carmen is sure that enough time has passed that even the principal has left for the day, she places her viola in the red velvet lining of its case. Ever since her father died and she knelt before him laid out in his coffin, she has thought of the violin's case as its coffin, and she crosses herself before snapping it shut. What's the difference between a viola and a coffin? The coffin has the dead person on the inside.
There is a pile of old classical records in Mr. Korman's office on the floor near his desk. Carmen pulls out The Nutcracker from the center where she left it last week, the frayed edge sticking out a little. Carmen's uncle has a broken record player in his garage, but Mr. Korman is the only person she knows who still has a turntable that actually works. Sometimes when he gets tired of sitting in his office and doing crossword puzzles and listening to how terrible they sound, he comes out and yells at them and then plays Vivaldi or Mozart or Schuman, and tells them to shut up and listen. That this is how it's done.
Don't ever touch my turntable, he tells the class every time he plays them a record. Do you know how expensive it is to replace a damn needle?
You've got to update, Mr. Korman, Jenna always says, but Carmen likes the way the records sound, crackled and serious.
Carmen knows exactly where "The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies" is on the record. She takes off her shoes and socks and finds the thick groove and gently places the arm down so the needle is in the right spot. Then she folds her body over itself in the center of the room and listens. She tries to pick out each of the instruments one at a time: trumpet, oboe, flute, violin, until she finally hones in on the viola section.
But no matter how hard she listens, every instrument, not just the violas, is overshadowed by the celesta. Carmen wrote a research paper on this piece for extra credit and knows the ethereal bell-like sound is made by tiny hammers striking metal plates, that this particular sound is a result of careful engineering. But it still sounds like heaven to Carmen each time she hears it. And, each time, she thinks about her father and wonders if he made it there, even though he cheated on her mother with the cell phone girl, even though he never asked anyone, not even Carmen, for forgiveness.
Carmen rises on her tiptoes, arches her arms over her head and spins slowly around. She imagines her father and then Jesus watching her, seeing her beauty, the way she feels this music coursing through her body. She imagines Luke, the cello player, staring at her with desire. What she doesn't imagine is the boy with the donuts standing once again in the doorway.
"What are you doing?" he asks.
Carmen stops dancing, but the record is spinning and she can feel the sugar plum fairies still dancing all around her.
"Nothing," she says.
"I saw you," the boy says.
"What do you want?" Carmen says. She is walking over to the record player now. She feels her bare feet moving over the thin carpet. She lifts the arm up and the music stops.
"Jenna forgot her violin," the boy says. "She's in the car, with our mom. You're not allowed to touch Mr. Korman's record player. Jenna says no one is, that he's a total freak about it."
Carmen ignores the boy and opens Jenna's locker, the combination lock open and dangling the way it always is. Carmen lifts off the lock and opens the door, hands the boy the violin. "You're lucky I was here," she says.
"I would have just found the janitor," the boy says. "I'm going to tell you played Mr. Korman's record player when he wasn't here. Give me something or I'm going to tell."
Carmen stares at the boy who had the bag of donuts, the little brother in the baseball uniform. He's wearing a cap now and she can't see his spiky blond hair, but now she understands that it's Jenna's hair, cut short and mean. "How do you know I didn't have permission?" Carmen says.
"Did you?"
"I don't have anything to give you," Carmen says.
"Give me five dollars or I'm telling," the boy says.
"I don't have anything," Carmen says. It's true. Her mother won't let her bring money on the bus because it might get stolen. She only has her student ID and her prepaid bus card.
"Show me your bra," the boy says. "Show it to me or I'm going to tell Mr. Korman that you played a record." The boy stares at her bare feet. "And I'm going to tell my sister that you're a total freak."
Carmen laughs, but the boy isn't smiling. She hears a car horn beep four times in a row. She has always been the girl the teachers trust.
"They're waiting for me," the boy says. "My mother and Jenna. They're both in the car."
"I'll bring you the money tomorrow," she says.
"Too late," the boy says. He's turning and walking toward the door when Carmen says stop.
The boy is not much older than Carmen's brother. Maybe he's ten or eleven, she decides. He'll tell Mr. Korman that she used his record player, and he'll tell Jenna that he saw the transfer girl dancing around the music room, and Jenna will tell everyone, even Luke, and they'll all know. "Okay," she finally says. Carmen closes her eyes and lifts her shirt up quickly and then pulls it back down.
"Now promise not to tell," Carmen says.
"I'm not promising anything," the boy says.
Carmen hears the car horn again. Next year or the year after when he's at this middle school, Carmen will have already moved in to high school. He is capable of ruining her life only right now, at this very moment.
"Promise or I won't forgive you, and Jesus won't forgive you either," she says.
"Jenna's right," the boy says. "You are a total freak."
Someone is leaning on the car horn now. Carmen imagines Jenna's thin fingers pushing and pushing.
Carmen stares at the boy hard. "Promise," she says.
"You're crazy," the boy says, but something passes over his sunburned face that Carmen hopes is fear. "I'm coming!" the boy yells and then he's gone.
Carmen lifts The Nutcracker off the turntable and puts it back in the album cover. She slips the album into the center of the pile near Mr. Korman's desk, the frayed edge sticking out just enough so she can find it next time.
When Carmen steps outside with her viola, the fog is already rolling in. She walks down the sidewalk to the bus stop feeling the air turn wet on her arms and face, the only music in her head now the sound of a siren, someone else's emergency, moving nearer and nearer to her.

In the olden days, people used to have cook their stews on the stove or in the oven. It was a dark and terrible time. There was panic in the streets.
OK, it wasn't that bad. But the invention of the slow cooker certainly made things easier for people to cook stews. Toss your ingredients in the morning, return in the evening to a gently simmering meal. Just remember to plug it in.
We searched high and low (ahem) to bring you some awesome slow cooker recipes.
But before you log in to get the scrumptious recipes, here are some slow cooker rules.
Slow cooker rules
- No matter how badly you want to take a whiff, don't. Taking the lid off to stir food or have a smell extends the cooking time by 20 minutes.
- It's safe to leave the slow cooker on while you aren't at home.
- One slow cooker probably isn't enough. Different sizes are great for entertaining with different courses. A 2 quart, a 5 quart and a 7 quart are a good variety to have.
- A slow cooker works best when it is two-thirds full.
- If your recipe gets too soupy, take three toothpicks and prop the lid so it's open just a bit to help the liquid slowly evaporate.
- Some ingredients are better added near the end of cooking. Put uncooked pasta in 45 minutes before the end of the cooking time, 20 minutes for cooked pasta. Add fresh or dried herbs in the last 30 minutes to keep the zip.
- If the recipe is cooking for two to three hours, use cooked meat. If it's cooking longer, small chunks of raw meat are fine.
- Vegetables take longer to cook than cubed meat. Cut pieces equally to ensure even cooking.
- You can make just about anything in a slow cooker, but really watery vegetables,
- such as broccoli or cauliflower, don't turn out as well.

Right-Left Paradigm
The Right (Republican)/ Left (Democrat) paradigm is the illusion that we have a 2 party system. The fact is that the leaders at the top are working toward a common goal of Totalitarianism. The Right and the Left just have different pathways leading us down that same road. The Right and the Left are like two wings on the same ugly bird, with the same flight plan.
Judge Andrew Napolitano describes it this way:
"I believe we have a one party system in this country, called the big-government party. There is a Republican branch that likes war and deficits and assaulting civil liberties. There is a Democratic branch that likes welfare and taxes and assaulting commercial liberties."
Watch this short video about how the Right and Left are played against each other:
G. Edward Griffin explains how the illusion of the Right/ Left paradigm and political tactics, like controlled opposition, are used.
Agenda 21 has a scheme to fit both parties. For example, when the Left is in power, the Wildlands Project (the "protection" of wildlife by removing humans from 50% of America's landscape) is pursued. Land is nationalized for parks. Land is made worthless by preventing extraction of resources (like water, timber, oil, etc) through the Endangered Species Act. Eminent domain is inflicted upon landowners. The overall scheme is to take land from private landowners and to push people into cities.
When the Right holds power, Smart Growth (the concentration of people into cities, building up, not out, and mixed use buildings). A common vehicle to accomplish this is the PPP (Public-Private Partnership) in which corporations or other entities partner with the government for profit. This can happen when state and local governments go bankrupt and then sell off land, utilities, water, sewage systems, roads, etc. The corporation is interested in profit and uses the government to influence and enforce policies.
The overall net plan is to abolish private property by consolidating people into cities, and barring us from nature, preventing economic development and preventing extraction of resources (like water, oil, timber, etc).
