Surrounded by lots of lovely Japanese ceramics I wanted a new way to initiate conversations between the clay objects, textiles and the room interior. In order to protect the table top, tray surfaces or tatami from rough ceramic bottoms I designed a group of felt textiles to solve the problem. Also, the clay, grass fibers, trees and sheep all exist in the same environment so I found that the combination of materials was very simpatico and coordinated naturally together in almost any interior setting. Nice with clay pots, glass vessels and wood.

Interview with Jorie Johnson - Textile artist, Keiko Gallery
Interview with Jorie Johnson (Joi Rae) - Textile artist represented by Keiko Gallery, October 2011
The special feature in partnership with Keiko Gallery includes interviews with 10 Japanese artists represented by Keiko, and many images with their works.
→ This interview is featured in Ceramics Now Magazine - Issue One, Winter 2011-2012.
Ceramics Now Magazine: From functional, to decorative or aesthetical, your works also vary in techniques and materials. Tell us about your woolen felt creations.
Jorie Johnson: I am drawn to the painterly and sculptural characteristics of feltmaking with its broad capabilities as a "hard textile" but which also lends itself to soft, sensual body wraps. I like the challenge of completing a work that functions in a practical way as well as becoming an object of aesthetic value. Unlike weaving, each felt piece is disconnected from the next, so in that way, a seamless, three-dimensional vessel, hat or bag may remind us more of a ceramic form than a textile.
The essential material of wool comes from sheep which grow new fleeces each year and which have served mankind in very isolated regions of the world. I love the natural color of wool, as well as, the possibility to blend it with other fibers, to dye the wool or to over dye a completed piece and manipulate its' shape through this procedure. Now with years of practice I can approach a work from different angles, theorizing which method works best for an expected results, but while shaping and finishing I am on the alert to pick up on a characteristic born through the process that I never figured on. This spontaneity keeps things very interesting.

You are using many layering techniques. Can you explain the process of making a new piece? How long does it take?
The matrix of the work is hard to see by the naked eye but while the selected wool fibers start their migration progress they entangle and actually pierce and consume auxiliary materials such as Japanese Washi, silk organza, cotton gauze, skeletal leaves, lace and so on, into the surface of the fabric and become an integral part of the finished fabric we call as FELT. Under optimal conditions (increase in humidity, higher temperatures, change in pH, application of agitation, etc.) and using a selection of different sheep breeds a variety of fabrics result from dense, coarse carpet weight to silky merino blends for sensual neck wraps.
In order to achieve fine fabrics I use many thin layers of carded wool but for the loftier carpets I use coarser wool in thicker layers. Once the design and materials are selected and the shrink factor determined I work as swiftly as possible to complete a piece within a few days as not to cause the wet wool and auxiliary materials to begin to break down. I have to commit to a "work swipe" as I call it, not to damage the wool, silk or other materials by keeping them wet for too long.

Ceramics Now Magazine : You are one of the most appreciated textile artists in Japan, with many awards for your purses. When did you start working with textiles?
Takeda Asayo: I started making purses in 1970 and had my first solo exhibition in a gallery in 1983.
Do you remember how much you asked for the first bag you created to be sold?
It was about JPY 12000 (=$150). That purchase made me confident and gave me the power to go forward.
Sculpturesque Purse, 2009, Cotton, leather - View her works
More than 30 years ago, you established your own independent studio for the production of fabric sculpture and bags. What can you tell us about the studio, how it evolved in time?
I would like to create the usable sculpture rather than just looking. I believe that this new concept appeals to many people, so I have been able to continue my style until now.
Your works have an amazing and innovative design which distinguish itself. You carefully chose the fabric material, and you try to make your works to be comfortable and complimentary to the human body. Doing all that, you find a balance between functionality and design. How?
Our body of work consists in many curved lines, so I always consider that the shape and lines of my purses can harmonize with our body line. I prefer to improvise rather than using the fixed patterns. That makes my purses comfortable to wear.

javassist.ClassPool should extend the ClassLoader or URLClas
jesper mortensen Mar 20, 2004 5:22 AMDear Javassist Users and Developers
Thank you for an excellent tool
A suggestion:
I have tried using Javassist to make a tool for Tomcat and it seems to me that the ClassPool as a sideeffect og its purpose of keeping the classes together, really is a ClassLoader that caches loaded (and modified) classes.
Tomcat (and other J2EE servers) uses a hierarki of ClassLoaders and you should be able to plug the ClassPool directly in to this hierarki
If ClassPool extended the WebappClassLoader from Tomcat it would fit directly in (but it would probably be getting to close to Tomcat).
Extending URLClassLoader should be close enough to only force minor rewrites in the Tomcat classes to get the full functionality
jesper mortensen
1. Re: javassist.ClassPool should extend the ClassLoader or URL
Shigeru Chiba Mar 29, 2004 10:31 AM (in response to jesper mortensen)Your suggestion is right.
My current plan is to make it possible to
a hierarchy of ClassPool parallel
to ClassLoader's. -
2. Re: javassist.ClassPool should extend the ClassLoader or URL
jesper mortensen Mar 29, 2004 12:09 PM (in response to jesper mortensen)Sounds like a good idea
I ended up making a custom classloader inheriting ..catalina..WebappClassLoader only overriding a method "findResourceInternal" in WebappClassLoader, and then exchanging the loaded bytecode with bytecode loaded by ClassPool (and then modfied).
The WebappLoader (container) makes a cast somewhere so even if the documentation states that you can define your own classloader, for now the only way to do it is to inherit WebappClassLoader.
To make this work I had to give ClassPool the path from the whole classloader Hierarky, potentially mixing different sources for the code loaded by the original hierarky and ClassPool.
(And loading the class twice not very efficient, I think that I can find a way around this)
What would make this work was that I could tell Classpool to use my new class as ClassLoader, it would then be up to me to (re)place the modfied class in the inherited ClassLoaders internal repository.
By using this structure you would not need to make ClassPool aware of the hierarky. And it would be up to my class to choose between delegating "upwards" or loading fom my own classpath. -
3. Re: javassist.ClassPool should extend the ClassLoader or URL
Bill Burke Mar 29, 2004 2:31 PM (in response to jesper mortensen)We have the same issue with JBoss classloaders. This becomes even more of a pain when jBoss hot deployment comes into play.
4. Re: javassist.ClassPool should extend the ClassLoader or URL
jesper mortensen Mar 30, 2004 1:35 PM (in response to jesper mortensen)I think a general solution could be letting the ClassPool implement some sort of listener listening for "ClassLoadEvent"s
The ClassLoader should then be able to accept listeners and make synchronous calls to the listeners when loading a class. The registering could be with some sort of Regex String for filtering classes.
A ClassLoadEvent could have the the byte[] in the "ClassLoadEvent" (maybe alert a Translator) modify the classes and return the modfied bytecode in the event.
The ClassLoader would then call defineClass() and resolve() on the modied class and cache it internally.
To make this work in a concrete J2EE server the person implementing this would have some skeleton code to subclass the J2EE servers ClassLoader with -
5. Re: javassist.ClassPool should extend the ClassLoader or URL
Scott Stark Mar 30, 2004 2:02 PM (in response to jesper mortensen)This needs to be integrating with something like the JDK 1.5 java.lang.instrument.ClassFileTransformer, not by requiring subclasses of the app server class loader.
byte[] transform(ClassLoader loader, String className, Class classBeingRedefined, ProtectionDomain protectionDomain, byte[] classfileBuffer) throws IllegalClassFormatException;
The app server class loaders should be able to evolve independent of the aop layer. There has to be a non-intrusive api for integrating the aop class generation provided by the app server. -
6. Re: javassist.ClassPool should extend the ClassLoader or URL
Bill Burke Mar 30, 2004 2:17 PM (in response to jesper mortensen)Unfortunately, AFAIK, the JDK 1.5 ClassFileTransformer is only available in Debug mode and should not be used for what we want to use it for. This is what Jonas Boner and Alex Vasseur of AspectWerkz told me at the AOSD conference.
Bill -
7. Re: javassist.ClassPool should extend the ClassLoader or URL
Scott Stark Mar 30, 2004 2:49 PM (in response to jesper mortensen)So it needs to be done above the JDK. I'm simply referring to this api as the type of contract that is needed.
8. Re: javassist.ClassPool should extend the ClassLoader or URL
jesper mortensen Mar 30, 2004 4:02 PM (in response to jesper mortensen)But above the JDK in the API means letting the ClassLoader implement something like the java.lang.instrument.Instrumentation interface
By having the standard classloaders used by the server in normal mode as default, and then suclassing them with an implementation of the interface, it could be a configuration option if an application should instantiate with the subclass
The filtering and the potentially "slow" syncronous call to java.lang.instrument.ClassFileTransformer (ClassPool) would only be active if the subclass is used
In this way the AOP would only be able to modify classes in their own context and the ClassLoader hierarky would be intact -
9. Re: javassist.ClassPool should extend the ClassLoader or URL
Scott Stark Mar 30, 2004 6:56 PM (in response to jesper mortensen)No, the class loader repository would have to provide support for this, and we already have an interface for this associated with the org.jboss.util.loading.Translator which is associated with the loader repository and optionally used by the class loader if present. AOP is not the only framework that may want to do byte code manipulation, so there has to be a general mechanism not tied to AOP.
Further, subclassing the class loaders is very problematic due to the deadlock problems caused by the private synchronized Class loadClassInternal(String name) method in ClassLoader. Look at the org.jboss.mx.loading classes for the hoops that have to be jumped through to implement the default flat class loading model for example. -
10. Re: javassist.ClassPool should extend the ClassLoader or URL
jesper mortensen Apr 1, 2004 6:11 PM (in response to jesper mortensen)Just being a pest ..
Ok looking at org.jboss.mx.loading I can see that a lot of work has gone into making classloading work in jboss.
Javassist beeing a subproject of jboss should of course respect the jboss strategies.
But still it seems to me that it would make sense to have a general way to make ClassPool plug in to an existing classloader hierarky
In Tomcat they have chosen to make a reimplementation of the functionalities of URLClassLoader (maybe to avoid some internal problems in URLClassLoader/ClassLoader) and as it is a userdefined classloader has to inherit WebappClassLoader (therefore you cannont give it javaassist.Loader as a userdefined classloader). In some other J2EE servers there might be other specialities.
The basic problem beeing that the only way to get the classes you want to manipulate into ClassPool is by setting the classPath, any structure that makes ClassPoll use an existing classloader (for finding/loading classes, and for compiling and later defining classes) would be a step towards a generic solution. -
11. Re: javassist.ClassPool should extend the ClassLoader or URL
Shigeru Chiba Apr 4, 2004 11:43 AM (in response to jesper mortensen)Ok, I understand your suggestion is that we should improve
the perforamance of ClassPool.makeClass(InputStream)
and javassist.ByteArrayClassPath. These are for feeding a
byte array to ClassPool. It should be a general framework
for integrating your own ClassLoader and Javassist.
Of course, these have not been tuned very well compared
to the standard ClassPath stuff, but I think it is possible to
make them faster. -
12. Re: javassist.ClassPool should extend the ClassLoader or URL
Jwahar Bammi Apr 11, 2004 9:29 PM (in response to jesper mortensen)jesper (jbm4ever)
if its possible could you share your Tomcat code example (or a outline). i have been planning to try this with Tomcat and this would be very helpful.
email@example.com -
13. Re: javassist.ClassPool should extend the ClassLoader or URL
jesper mortensen May 6, 2004 3:10 PM (in response to jesper mortensen)Sorry for responding so late I thought the issue was dead
I am not really proud of my coding skills and i am working my way throug commenting the code by you can find my classloader at:
As catspeedCL.jar (in catspeed.tar.gz) which includes source code
I have tried solving the plugin problem by recursing through the classloading hierarky by building a classpath for classpool that should behave somewhat like being "plugged in" (that means taking the classes in the "reverse order" nearest the bottom of the hierarky except for system classes)
this reverse ordering being a servletcontainer feature et seems -
14. Re: javassist.ClassPool should extend the ClassLoader or URL
Jwahar Bammi May 6, 2004 4:12 PM (in response to jesper mortensen)Thanks very much: appreciate you sharing your code and for responding.

Song Stories
"Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go"
Wham! | 1984
An incessantly snappy pop-soul tune powered by handclaps, tambourine, female backup harmonies and an infectious chorus, "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" became one of the biggest hits of the mid-1980s. George Michael wrote the song based on a note posted over bandmate Andrew Ridgeley's bed. "I just wanted to make a really energetic pop record that had all the best elements of Fifties and Sixties records, combined with our attitude and approach, which is obviously more uptempo and a lot younger than some of those records," Michael explained in Rolling Stone.

Bingham excited about likely OK of facade funding
TORRINGTON — Mayor Ryan J. Bingham said Friday he is "pumped" the State Bond Commission is expected to approve $500,000 in funding for the city's stalled facade improvement program.
The program predates Bingham's administration but received a fresh $500,000 infusion of state money in 2007, toward the end of Bingham's first term. It was so successful, Bingham said, that the money ran out.

On Nov. 1, the largest cuts in the history of our country's food stamp program, now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, went into effect when the increase ordained by the 2009 economic stimulus package expired. The reductions, which total $5 billion, have already touched more than 47 million people - 1 in 7 Americans. I spoke to one food stamps recipient, a single mother in Washington, D.C., named Debra, about how she was coping financially and emotionally with her post-cut "new normal." Our conversation, edited and condensed, is below.
Slate: How have the recent SNAP cuts affected your budget?
Debra: I was getting $203 dollars a month in food stamps. Now I'm down I think $60 or $70, to around $130. I'm not sure because they said they cut 30 percent, and I had $12 left in my account when I went to get food stamps. This month my account had $147.
Slate: That's how much you'll spend on food for the month?
Debra: Yes. It's me and my daughter at home. She's 21. It was bad enough before the cuts: We were eating lunchmeat all week, and we only had enough for a can of vegetables a day. Divide $203 by 30 days, and then by 3 meals, and then halve it for each person. It's not a lot. And now it's going to be much worse. I don't know if we can still do the canned vegetables every day. One thing we won't do anymore is have three-course meals on weekends. We used to buy a dinner on Saturday and Sunday that would have three courses: a vegetable, a starch and a meat. But meat is going to be a huge problem. It's expensive for anyone. I don't know what we'll eat for the weekends anymore. Hopefully not lunchmeats again.
Slate: So meat is the first thing to go?
Debra: Yes, my weekend chicken, turkey wings, whatever we could afford. I used to buy a beef roast, but that's now out of the question. At Giant in the mornings, they mark down the meats that are about to expire and I used to get those. But you have to make sure portions are small enough that you can afford them. I had some "$2 off" coupons too, which helped. The good thing is that church will give me a turkey for Thanksgiving because I can't get my own. I don't know what else I'll have on the table for Thanksgiving but at least I'll have a turkey.
Slate: It's you and your daughter at home?
Debra: Yes. She can't apply for her own benefits until she's 22. I'm still supporting her. I also have a neighbor I've known for 13 years, who's critically ill, and I visit her a lot. I'm a veteran: I have a nursing background in the military. I try to help where I can. I also volunteer a lot for organizations that support mental health. We developed a peer program for schools, and a pamphlet that tells people where they can get help. We have a lot of meetings to figure out better intake processes for mentally ill youth. That's a lot of how I spend my time. I'm also disabled, so I get a VA compensation check every month along with my social security. My daughter and I live on those two checks.
Slate: Did you talk about the cuts with your daughter? What is it like supporting her through this too?
Debra: We talked about it. She wants to help and get a job, but it's a catch-22. I'm on rent assistance, and if she gets a job, my rent goes up and my food stamp money goes down. But she's got an interview at Target coming up and if it works out that will be an interesting challenge.
Slate: Do you feel hungry a lot?
Debra: I have hunger but I've gotten used to it. It's something to adjust to. I try to cut it by drinking a lot of water, but water gets boring so I buy Kool-aid for some flavor. I have kidney stones, so my doctor says I need to drink a lot of water anyway. I also have milk and cereal for the mornings. But yeah, I'm hungry. I'm very fortunate because I have a neighbor who gets Meals on Wheels delivered, and she'll give some of it to me and my daughter.
Slate: Do you and your daughter ever go hungry so the other one can eat?
Debra: She eats. I'm her mother. I let my daughter eat. Last night she was hungry and we had some peppers. I made her an omelet with eggs, lunch meat and peppers and I went to bed without eating. I could have made myself an omelet too, but that would have meant no eggs for the weekend. And I had been in Baltimore that day - I'd bought a corn beef sandwich for $4. I didn't know what she had eaten all day, but I had food in my belly from lunch. So it came down to me feeding her and I went without. This morning, though, she didn't have breakfast, and I had cereal.
Slate: It sounds really tough.
Debra: It is hard. I can't say it's not. I just hope this helps people understand that just because food stamps are out there doesn't make it easy for people to eat well. It's still a struggle.

This second humor, talking animals book by Geronimo Stilton in the "Geronimo Stilton" series is published by Scholastic Paperbacks.
The Curse of the Cheese Pyramid is written for kids ages 7 to 10. The age range reflects readability and not necessarily content appropriateness.
Geronimo Stilton enjoys his job managing The Rodent's Gazette until his thrifty grandfather, the paper's owner, steps in to cut costs. Grandfather sends Geronimo to Egypt to get a story on a professor who has discovered an energy source using camel dung. Though Geronimo's Dirt Cheap Airlines flight nearly crashes and he gets trapped in an ancient pyramid, he ends up enjoying his adventure and writing a book about it. When he returns home, he and his newspaper cronies create a plan to send Grandfather on an around-the-world cruise so they can return to business as usual. Text in a variety of colors, sizes, typefaces and alignments alongside comical rodent renderings make this book unique, but they mix fact and fiction about ancient civilizations.
Geronimo says his ears were ringing like church bells at Christmousetime, and he refers to "mouse heaven."
Geronimo's grandfather, in his quest to save money, puts an entire newspaper staff out of work and endangers his grandson's life.
As Professor Spitfur tells Geronimo about Egyptian history, he shares several theories and legends: He notes that Egyptians were buried with their treasure so they could take their items with them into the afterlife. He also tells how some believed the Egyptians moved the heavy blocks for the pyramids using telepathy and that they built them to honor aliens from faraway galaxies. He shows Geronimo a tomb with pictures of gods and goddesses and says that whoever desecrates a pharaoh's tomb will be cursed. Shortly thereafter, he is hit on the head and loses his memory. After seeing the Egyptian sunrise, Geronimo says he understands why the Egyptians worshiped the sun.

B-52 crews pull shades on nukes
Having your shadow scorched into the wall is one drawback to detonating a nuclear weapon; being blinded by the flash (PDF) and not being able to drive away in your B-52 Stratofortress is another.
Now engineers at the 540th Aircraft Sustainment Squadron's B-52 Communications Navigation and Weapons Flight have designed a thermal curtain that could protect aircrews from that blinding light (PDF).
The curtain resembles a common windshield sunshade used in passenger cars, except these cost $2,500 for a seven-shade set. Measuring about a tenth of an inch thick, 40 inches to 50 inches long, and 30 inches … Read more

Hall of Fame junior welterweight Eddie Perkins, a two-time champion who fought in over 20 countries, has died. He was 75.
Perkins, who suffered from dementia and diabetes, died at home in the arms of his son Lawrence on Thursday night, according to the family. Annie Perkins said her husband had just come home from the hospital.
Born March 3, 1937 in Clarksdale, Miss., Eddie Perkins compiled a 26-10 amateur record before turning pro in 1956.
Under the managerial eye of Hall of Famer Johnny Coulon, Perkins developed a crafty style. He fought Italy's Duilio Loi three times in the early 1960s, the first bout ending in a draw. Perkins won the rematch and the junior welterweight title, then lost it in the third bout.
Perkins regained the title in 1963 with a 15-round decision over Roberto Cruz of the Philippines and defended his title twice before losing a disputed decision to Carlos Hernandez.
He retired in 1975 with a 74-20-2 record, including 21 knockouts, and was elected to the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 2008.

UPDATE 1-US airport security could detect Qaeda device-officials
- Tweet
- Share this
* Security changes made after similar 2009 device - U.S. officials
* Explosive device being studied to prevent future attempts (Updates with details throughout)
By Tabassum Zakaria and Mark Hosenball
WASHINGTON, May 8 (Reuters) - U.S. security measures could detect a non-metallic bomb like the one in the latest plot by al Qaeda's Yemeni affiliate, but key technology such as body scanners is not deployed at all U.S. airports, Obama administration officials said Tuesday.
U.S. and allied intelligence agencies in the last 10 days seized an explosive device that was an improved version of the "underwear bomb" in the failed Christmas Day 2009 airline bombing attempt, U.S. officials said on Monday.
Officials said the bomb and the plot to introduce it aboard an aircraft with a suicide bomber was the work of Yemen-based Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, considered to be the group's most dangerous offshoot.
There was no immediate sign the Obama administration was ordering changes in airline security procedures. The latest plot never came close to fruition and no aircraft was in danger.
The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday emphasized the importance of security measures to air carriers and foreign government partners. "The guidance issued today simply reiterates and updates existing security guidelines and encourages continued vigilance in light of the recently apprehended device," a DHS official said.
Because the device was similar to the one in the failed 2009 attempt over Detroit by Nigerian-born militant Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, security steps taken since "would have been able to prevent this device from bringing down an airplane," the official said.
Other U.S. officials said that current airport metal detectors probably would have trouble spotting a device which had no metal parts.
But airport body scanners, which use light doses of radiation to scan through a passenger's clothes, ought to be able to detect "anomalies" which could then be further examined in a hands-on, pat down search, they said.
According to the U.S. Transportation Security Administration, about 700 full-body scanners have been deployed to more than 180 airports nationwide since 2007.
However, there are about 450 airports in the United States that have federal security, according to the TSA.
A DHS official said there is a "multi-layered security approach which includes intelligence-derived watchlists, behavior detection, explosive trace detection and canines."
Security at international airports, which varies widely from country to country, is an additional concern for U.S. authorities.
Sheldon Jacobson, a University of Illinois professor and expert in aviation security, said airline security shouldn't change in response to the recent plot.
"The most important lesson to be learned from this finding is that intelligence information is what prevented this incident from escalating into an actual event," Jacobson said.
"More intrusive, indiscriminate airport screening is the worst possible response, and will ultimately make the entire air system less secure for all," he said.
The latest device appeared to be similar to the work of fugitive Saudi militant Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri, who U.S. sources believe is a bomb-maker working with AQAP. It was being studied to help prevent any future bombing attempts.
"I'm convinced that Asiri is behind this. He is an evil genius when it comes to bomb-making," House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King said on FOX.
"The FBI is exploiting it. We're trying to understand the different aspects of the design to make sure that we're able to take preventive actions in the future to prevent this or other types of devices from getting into areas that could threaten the American public," John Brennan, a White House counter-terrorism official, said on ABC's "Good Morning America."
The United States continues to take into account the latest measures from al Qaeda and will make adjustments as needed, Brennan said, adding he was confident the security system provides the necessary protection.
"Now we're trying to make sure that we take the measures that we need to to prevent any other type of IED (improvised explosive device) similarly constructed from getting through security," Brennan said.
Other officials said security body scanners would almost certainly fail to detect a bomb implanted in a body organ or cavity. However, the public might find it unacceptable to be subjected to scanning by machines powerful enough to detect devices hidden inside a body due to the risk of exposure to excessive radiation, a U.S. official said.
U.S. officials have said AQAP has been working to design explosive devices which could be implanted inside suicide bombers and there were doctors willing to perform the necessary surgery.
What happened to the suspect who had the device seized within the last 10 days was unclear. Officials said the person was alive and either was captured or voluntarily turned over the underwear bomb to a foreign intelligence service.
The would-be bomber's defection or infiltration was handled by an allied intelligence service in the region, likely Saudi Arabia or Yemen, officials said.
Accounts differed over whether a suspected U.S. drone strike in Yemen that killed two members of al Qaeda on Sunday was linked to the operation that foiled the "underwear bomb" plot.
The drone strike was "part of the same intelligence-gathering operation that allowed us to keep the bomb from going on to the plane and also allows us to keep possession of the bomb," King said on FOX.
Other officials said, however, that the drone strike, which killed a senior AQAP operative, was not directly linked to the foiling of the underwear bomb plot.
On Sunday, two Yemeni members of al Qaeda were killed by a missile strike on their car. (Additional reporting by Karen Jacobs, Susan Heavey, Vicki Allen; Editing by Cynthia Osterman)

Assemblywoman Sayward: conservative Republican, unlikely gay rights activist
Willsboro, NY, Dec 04, 2009 — This week, New York's state Senate rejected a bill legalizing same-sex marriage. The North Country's three Senators, Darrel Aubertine, Betty Little and Joe Griffo all voted against the bill. The vote was a blow to gay rights activists. One of the most unlikely advocates for same-sex marriage is Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward. Sayward is a former dairy farmer who lives in Willsboro. She describes herself as a Roman Catholic and a conservative Republican. But after wrestling with homosexuality in her own family, Sayward has become a national spokeswoman for what she views as marriage equality. She has traveled to Florida and New Jersey to campaign for gay rights. Sayward spoke in depth with Brian Mann about her personal and political journey - and about this week's vote. Go to full article

//todo is great, but there may be times when a list of TODOs gets very big and in that case it wouldn't hurt to have something different. However, that was not my point.

I could argue that using the string //banana banana banana instead of proper comments is a very easy way to spot and fix "ninja comments". How about javadoc? It's easier (less embarrassing) to release undocumented code than to publish banana javadoc. Banana is an invitation to fix your comments after you are out of "the zone" and done with writing the actual code.

Best way to add contacts from an excel sheet

If you have Outlook you can import your spreadsheet into Outlook, and then iTunes will sync your iPad contacts with Outlook.
However, if you got an iPad so you didn't have to mess with Microsoft, I don't know. |

Without knowing the exact structure of the spreadsheet its difficult to tell for sure but excel is pretty powerful. Try something along the lines of:
1. Export the file to a commonly used type, I recommend CSV. 2. If you have Excel, hopefully you also have Outlook and can import the files (look on the net, there are quite a few guides) 3. Sync iPad to Outlook. If you are on a mac try using Address Book instead of Outlook for the import. |

If you don't have Outlook and/or don't want to go through any kind of connected sync, you can export them to CSV (like recommended above), upload them into a GMail account, and sync your contacts to your iOS device to that same account.

You should be able to convert all your contacts in your Excel file into a single vCard file (there are free programs on the web for this). You can then import the vCard file contents into your Contacts at icloud.com.
I haven't tried though... |

Ann M. (Pavelich) "Teta" March 91, Hibbing passed away on Monday, July 2, 2012 at the Guardian Angels Health and Rehabilitation Center in Hibbing.
Ann M. (Pavelich) "Teta" March 91, Hibbing passed away on Monday, July 2, 2012 at the Guardian Angels Health and Rehabilitation Center in Hibbing.
She was born on June 12, 1921 in the little mountain village of Kriviput, "Crooked Path", Croatia, overlooking the Adriatic Sea. Ann was the first born child of John and Zora Pavelich.
Ann immigrated to the United States with her mother Zora, sailing from the port of Hamburg, Germany on Nov. 23, 1922 aboard the S.S. Bayern, arriving in the New York harbor on Dec. 8, 1922. She grew up in the mining town of Carson Lake on Minnesota's Iron Range. She graduated from the Hibbing High School in 1939. Ann's professional career began with Pickands Mather & Company. She later worked for over 20 years at Hibbing General Hospital in their accounting department where lifelong friendships with co-workers were formed.
Ann was a member of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church of Hibbing.
Ann married James March on Feb. 7, 1942. They were blessed with the birth of their only child on April 1, 1954, Mary Susan March. Ann was devoted and a loving wife, mother, and aunt. After her husband Jim died in 2000 she moved to Palm Springs, Calif., to be with her beloved daughter Mary. After the sudden death of her daughter Mary in 2007, Ann moved back to Hibbing, Minn., to spend her remaining years enjoying the company of her sister Mary, extended family, and her dear friends.
Ann was fondly referred to as "Teta" (Croatian for "auntie") by her family. She will be forever remembered for her delicious cooking, and delectable Christmas cookies. Every Christmas season she baked countless varieties of sweet treats which she shared with family and friends both locally and nationwide. She was always trying new recipes, and refining and tweaking existing ones to perfection. It just wasn't Christmas without Teta's cookies!
Ann is survived by her sister, Mary Kirkpatrick Diderich, Hibbing; nieces, Gayle (Norman) Tuomi, Raleigh, NC., Georgia Hyduke, Hibbing; nephews, Craig (Barb) Kirkpatrick, North Oaks, Minn., Alan Kirkpatrick, Hibbing, Minn., John (Nancy) Pavelich, Louisville, Colo., Jim (Leslie) Pavelich, Vail, Colo., and Joe Hyduke, Chandler, Ariz.; and many grand nephews, and grand nieces.
She was preceded in death by her parents, John and Zora Pavelich; husband, James March; daughter, Mary Susan March; brother, John (Ann) Pavelich; sister-in-law, Rose (Joe) Hyduke; and her nephew, Paul Hyduke.
SERVICE: 11 a.m. Saturday, July 21, 2012 in the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church in Hibbing. The Rev. Fr. Anthony Craig will celebrate the Mass of Christian Burial. The Deacon Raymond Sampson will con-celebrate the Mass. Visitation will be held one hour prior to the funeral Mass in the church on Saturday. A private family Inurnment will be at the Maple Hill Cemetery of Hibbing. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred to the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church Building Fund, or the donor's choice. Arrangements are with the Dougherty Funeral Home of Hibbing.

Serve your children mini pizzas on game day.Super Bowl Sunday is one of the biggest unofficial holidays of the year. It's also one of the biggest eating days of the year. While you may be making great dishes for the adults, what about the kids? Most kids won't enjoy the same foods, but there are a number of foods they will love that are also healthy. Whether it's a health-conscious taco dip or caramel apple wedges, kids are going to love these Super Bowl snacks.
Taco Dip
Taco dip doesn't have to be loaded with calories. A kid-friendly version could be made with taco meat that is made with ground sirloin or 98% fat-free turkey breast. You could then add a layer of low-fat shredded cheese, lots of lettuce and chopped tomatoes, plain Greek yogurt, fat-free refried beans and salsa.
Baked Chicken Nuggets
An alternative to chicken wings for kids are baked chicken nuggets. All you need to do is cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, dip in egg whites, and roll in bread crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees for around 15-20 minutes, or no longer pink. Serve with fat-free ranch dressing and barbecue sauce.
Chili Mac
Before you turn your chili into 5 alarm chili for the adults, set aside a portion for the kiddos. The chili can be mixed with whole grain pasta and topped with shredded cheese and fat-free sour cream for a yummy chili mac.
Miniature Pizzas
What would Super Bowl Sunday be without pizza? Of course, your children don't have to eat high-calorie pizza. You can make miniature pizzas on whole wheat English muffins. Keep the full-fat cheese so that it melts, but use healthy toppings, such as vegetables.
Football Sammies
An easy-to-make snack for Super Bowl Sunday is sandwiches. Make your sandwiches on rye bread with whatever healthy ingredients you choose and then use a hollow cookie cutter to cut the sandwiches into footballs. Place some fat-free mayo into a squirt bottle and make the design of laces on the top of the sandwiches before serving.
Caramel Apple Wedges
Last, but not least, you need a sweet treat. Instead of fussing with dipping caramel apples, cut large apples in half and scoop out the core. Fill the apple halves with warmed fat-free caramel and allow to cool in the fridge. Once the caramel is hardened, cut into wedges and serve.
You don't have to serve your children high-fat foods during Super Bowl Sunday. There are a number of quick and easy dishes that are also healthy.

The Hawaii congressional delegation has called on Barack Obama to issue an executive order recognizing Native Hawaiians as an Indian tribe.
In a momentous 5-4 decision, the US Supreme Court Tuesday invalidated a major provision of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that mandated federal oversight of election laws in states with a history of discriminatory practices.
I had not thought that there was anything new to say in the debate over same-sex marriage.
We stand together, the Democratic mayor of San Antonio and a senior appointee in three Republican presidential administrations, united in our support for the freedom to marry and an end to the discrimination caused by the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which treats one legally married couple differently from another.
Three years ago, in the widely watched case Northwest Austin Municipal Utility District Number One v. Holder, the U.S. Supreme Court did something that many court observers found astonishing: It gave Congress an opportunity to, in effect, do over some provisions of the Voting Rights Act it reauthorized in 2006.
Yes, we need to revamp our mental health laws and state policies, but the relationship between gun violence and severe mental illness is a tenuous one: the vast majority of people with schizophrenia, bipolar illness and other psychotic disorders are not violent and most violence is not committed by people who are mentally ill.
Cynthia Tucker, in her confessional editorial in the South's premier newspaper, was too hard on herself. She had long supported race-conscious districting, but her erstwhile convictions had been those of the entire civil rights community and of elected officials across the political spectrum who saw such districting as one litmus test of a commitment to racial equality.
In this conference, veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, mental health and disability experts, and an economist will discuss current hurdles to rehabilitation, and suggest alternatives that could more effectively expedite the reintegration of veterans into their families, communities, and workplaces.

Tips lead authorities to marijuana grows |
Written by The Curry Coastal Pilot | |
March 08, 2013 11:14 pm | |
Sheriff's officers seized a total of 35 marijuana plants from two growing operations late last month in Nesika Beach and Langlois, it was reported this week.
According to Undersheriff Bob Rector, officers seized 23 plants and cited Markwood Scott Hull, 48, at 46248 Highway 101 in Langlois, March 25. The following day, deputies seized 12 plants and items used to grow marijuana at the house of Allen Wayne Ross, 49, and Di Ana Lynn Hicks Ross, 47, on Nesika Road. That case has been forwarded to the district attorney's office for review. Rector said many law enforcement actions are most effective when citizens report criminal or suspicious activity. Citizens can call Crime Stopppers at 1-888-974-0000 to report such activity; anonymous citizens can collect cash rewards if their information leads to the arrest and conviction of those responsible. |

By Andrew Osborn and Alastair Macdonald SEVASTOPOL/KIEV (Reuters) - Ukraine's government appealed for Western help on Tuesday to stop Moscow annexing Crimea but the Black Sea peninsula, overrun by Russian troops, seemed fixed on a course that could formalise rule from Moscow within days. With their own troops in Crimea effectively prisoners in their bases, the new authorities in Kiev painted a sorry picture of the military bequeathed them by the pro-Moscow president overthrown two weeks ago. The prime minister, heading for talks at the White House and United Nations, told parliament in Kiev he wanted the United States and Britain, as guarantors of a 1994 treaty that saw Ukraine give up its Soviet nuclear weapons, to intervene both diplomatically and militarily to fend off Russian "aggression".
