I agree with Cinzia... It have to be a way to have Midnight Sun completed!
Hi Shauny, I agree with you, we need that book to complete the saga. It is unfair that we do not get to read it from Edwards POV because one of her "Friends" leaked it. Maybe just maybe if we could all really impress on her how we all feel about it there could be something done. I have no clue how to go about it as I live in South Africa, but if there was a way to contact Stephanie and make her understand the LOVE that we have for EDWARD and how he deserves to have his side told then maybe she would relent. It is all in her head afterall, it is just a matter of giving it to us. SUGGESTIONS ANYONE!!
Shauny, If you have read the little part that has leaked out then that will be all you will se. She decided not to continue on with it do to the leak. I wish she would finish it too. It was very interesting to see Edwards POV.
i think edward is fab in all the films and robert pattson so very hot too
When does the Midnight Sun book come out I want to read them from Edwards point of view and I haven't heard anything about it in a while all I know is when like new moon came out I heard about it..
Breaking Dawn Part 2 was perfection <3 who else agrees?
breaking dawn part 2 is awsome

A serious accident took TNT Fitness?s founder Tag Dundas?s physical and mental health, right down to his ability to walk. During his journey to recovery, he transformed his life. It took hours of work and training, but Tag regained all his functionality, and the experience had him sticking with the gym until well after his time in physical therapy had come to an end. His new fitness far surpassed what it had been before the accident, and he decided to become a personal trainer to help others achieve those goals they always thought were impossible.
Today, Tag and his team of trainers help clients strengthen and condition their bodies in group fitness classes and personal training. Michelle, Candice, and Sherri, who conducts cardio and core exercises, and Colleen, who conducts beginner classes, help equip athletes to excel with tailored training that focuses on building the kinds of speed, strength, and agility needed for each sport. Tag himself has logged nearly 1,000 hours using TRX resistance bands in personal-training sessions and boot camps. He affectionately calls the camps T-ReX boot camps, after the dinosaur renowned for its strength, ferocity, and ability to perform a perfect unassisted sit-up.
Formaggio Fine Foods owner Jody Sigurdson-Longo, a Red Seal chef and graduate of Dubrulle Culinary Institute, strikes a balance in her cuisine by serving time-tested gourmet recipes alongside dishes that embrace the latest culinary trends. During her cooking classes, groups prepare dishes such as handmade ravioli, stuffed with butternut squash and mascarpone cheese and flavoured with brown butter and sage. For special events, Jody's typical catered platter might include snacks such as brined olives, shaved prosciutto, and stalks of asparagus with which to gesticulate wildly during conversations. The shop also stocks a wide selection of imported cheeses such as manchego, a sheep milk cheese from the Mancha region of Spain, or Roaring 40's blue cheese from Australia's King Island Dairy. Jody also creates treats for on-the-spot enjoyment, such as panini sandwiches stacked with prosciutto di Parma, frothy cappuccinos, and 49th Parallel coffee.
TNT Bootcamp of Hampton Roads has built a supportive exercise setting for students of every age and body type, earning a Silver ranking for Best Gym/Fitness Facility in the Virginian-Pilot's Best of Hampton Roads 2011 list. Each 45-minute meet-up features modifiable techniques and a communal feel, as owner Debra Cotton strives to shed weight alongside the camp's other attendees. Music infuses kickboxing strikes and weight-lifts with energized pizzazz as step aerobics, resistance bands, and stability balls condition physiques.
Unlike in a similarly titled section of a high-school yearbook, patrons strive to have their names posted in the website's Biggest Losers section, many shedding 5, 6, or 8 pounds per week. With nutrition guidance, weekly weigh-ins, and supplementary wellness resources, the boot-camp regimen embraces a holistic approach to physical health and proffers Zumba sessions for those interested in a rhythmic change of pace.

Man jailed over Callum Hilton death
A drunken motorist who knocked down a teenage boy and drove off, leaving him for dead, has been jailed. Callum Hilton, 16, was killed after he was hit by a car being driven by Steven Thomas Quinn in November 2012 in Radcliffe.
Quinn pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving at an earlier hearing and was today jailed for six years and four months at Bolton Crown Court.
Callum and one of his friends were crossing the road when a silver Peugeot 206 came speeding down Stand Lane, hitting the teenager in the middle of the road and sending him tumbling 15 yards down the road.
The car did not stop and drove off. Passers-by stopped to help Callum and tried to give him first aid at the scene until the emergency services arrived. However, after being admitted to Hope Hospital he sadly died as a result of serious head trauma.

DEL Ozone 9-0791-01 Test Kit (10 Pack)
Short Description
Our new Ozone Test Kit makes it easy for your technician to identify if your ozonator is producing the right amount of ozone.
Distinguished in design and presentation, Del's Ozone Test Kit identifies ozone expiration with user-accessible testers, highlighting both low ozone levels and ozone deterioration in spas and hot tubs. Ozone generators provide a healthy and organic approach to sanitization, and Ozone Test Kits ensure your spa water stays crystal clear and contamination free. Ozone Test Kits work by linking a Del Ozone tester to your ozone generator, before color change indicates its state of operation: a change from blue to white or partial white of your tester confirms an appropriately working ozonator; a lack of change indicates the need for a new or replacement ozonator. Most DEL ozonators generate CD ozone over a consistent range of 3-5 years (around 9,000 hours), and Ozone Test Kits can help spa owners manage their ozone generator with ease and simplicity.

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) -- One of the biggest duals in University of Tennessee at Chattanooga wrestling history had one of the worst starts head coach Heath Eslinger could have imagined.
Second-ranked Iowa opened with pins in the first two matches to quiet a capacity crowd and spark a 37-6 rout of the host Mat Mocs Friday night at Maclellan Gymnasium.
Chattanooga managed to win just two of the ten bouts against the sports' most decorated program, with Alex Hudson (149 pounds) and Niko Brown (197) winning by decision.
Eslinger was hoping for a 5-5 split in front of a sell-out crowd of 2,639, but was left disappointed.
"I think we left some on the table tonight, especially at 125, 141 and 174, and you never want to do that," Eslinger said. "But they're a great team. I guess if we're realistic, that's what they were supposed to do to us. But it's just not what we want to accept.
"We do not train to get beat. We train to win and that's the bottom line. I don't care who it is. I don't like it and its frustrating."
Top-ranked and two-time defending NCAA 125-pound champ Matt McDonough opened the night by quickly sticking UTC's highest-ranked wrestler, Nick Soto. McDonough went on the offensive right from the start, then quickly pinned his ninth-ranked opponent just 1:45 into the match.
"I think he relaxed. I don't think he knew he was in as much danger as he was and he needs to fix that," Eslinger said of Soto's loss. "I was definitely shocked by that. We're his coaches so we have to help him fix that and find a way for him to work through it."
Second-ranked Tony Ramos fallowed with a pin of Cleveland High product Marvin Lopez at 133, then No. 15 Mark Ballweg won a 9-0 major decision at 141 pounds over Bradley Central product Dean Pavlou to push Iowa's early lead to 16-0.
Hudson's win got the Mocs on the board, but Iowa (3-0) won three of the next four matches by major decision and got a come-from-behind win from Grant Gambrell at 174. Gambrell trailed Ooltewah grad Jake Young 5-1 late in the second period, but rallied to tie the match then win a 7-5 decision on a takedown in the final 30 seconds.
Brown, the reigning SoCon Wrestler of the Week, outworked Hawkeyes' starter Tomas Kira for a 10-7 decision before UTC heavyweight Kevin Malone was pinned to close the dual.
"I think we saw some areas where we need to get better," Eslinger said. "The last three weeks of competition really provided us an education in areas we need to work on and now we have three or four weeks to actually get back in the practice room and get better. We have great kids on this team right now that I believe will bounce back and we'll move forward."
Chattanooga (3-2) opened the day with a 49-0 rout of Cumberlands, which featured pins from Soto, Young, Robert Prigmore, Brown and Malone.
Iowa opened its season earlier in the day with a 27-12 win over No. 17 Virginia and a 52-0 shutout of Cumberland at Maclellan. The Cavaliers also beat Cumberland 38-6.

In the modeled case study of these four cities, all located on major U.S. fault lines, Los Angeles (not the smaller cities) would fare the best on a relative basis because it's a better-built environment with stronger seismic building codes and practices. Conversely, Memphis, would experience average building damage ratios eight times larger* than that of LA, and would experience nearly eight times the rate of fatal injuries.
Why? In natural disasters of any kind, it's all about resiliency or the ability of a community to survive and then bounce back from disaster --- and resiliency is directly related to the quality of the built environment, building codes and record of enforcement.

Stunning fantasy news came from Denver on Friday when it was announced RB Knowshon Moreno would miss Sunday's game. Moreno reportedly pulled his hamstring during Friday's practice, although it wasn't the same hamstring he injured in August. It was obviously bad enough for him to instantly be declared out, so owners need to get him on the bench. There's a chance that the second-year back could miss more than one game, so this is a situation to keep a close eye on. Laurence Maroney and Correll Buckhalter are expected to split carries against the Colts this week, but neither is a recommended fantasy play.
Indianapolis has some injury issues of its own this week. WR Pierre Garcon did not practice at all on Thursday or Friday with a hamstring injury and is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. Garcon has been a relative nonfactor the first two weeks, so an injury doesn't bode well for his fantasy outlook. With his status shaky, he belongs on benches. WR Austin Collie, meanwhile, has scored in each of the first two games and is a solid start with WR Anthony Gonzalez (ankle) also sidelined. Meanwhile, RB Joseph Addai is also questionable with a knee injury, but he was able to take part in some practice this week and is likely to play. He's just an OK play vs. the Broncos, however, as he'll be sharing carries with Donald Brown.
The Texans have a huge contest on Sunday with the Cowboys, but their best player is listed as questionable. WR Andre Johnson was limited in practice this week after injuring his ankle in Week Two, but the team sounds optimistic that he'll suit up. Head coach Gary Kubiak said he expects Johnson, who had 12-158-1 receiving last week, to play barring any last-minute setbacks. Owners would be wise to monitor his status Sunday morning, but he should be good to go. On the other sideline, Dallas' receiving corps will almost certainly be at full strength with TE Jason Witten (concussion) and WR Dez Bryant (ribs) both labeled as probable. Get ready for a shootout in Houston.
Although Chargers RB Ryan Mathews was optimistic early in the week that he would play Sunday, he's listed as doubtful after sitting out the entire week of practice. Suffering from a high ankle sprain, it's possible that he could be forced to miss multiple outings. In his absence, Mike Tolbert will get the start at Seattle and is a very enticing fantasy option. Tolbert entered last week's contest once Mathews went down and proceeded to rush for 82 yards and two TDs on 16 carries. A big, hard-charging back, he's a good bet to score at least once vs. the Seahawks and is a solid fantasy bet. Darren Sproles will also see increased work on passing downs.
Two backs who have missed the first two weeks are likely to return to face each other this Sunday. The Cardinals' Beanie Wells has been sidelined with a knee injury, and head coach Ken Whisenhunt said Friday that Wells underwent arthroscopic surgery on Sept. 2. But the second-year rusher returned to practice in a limited capacity this week and is likely to play Sunday vs. the Raiders, even though he's listed as questionable. Fantasy owners might want to hold off before reinserting him in their lineup, though, as Tim Hightower could still see the bulk of the work. WR Steve Breaston (knee) is also questionable, so check his status prior to kickoff. Oakland, meanwhile, will get RB Michael Bush (thumb) back this Sunday, though his playing time could be limited with Darren McFadden tearing it up thus far. Keep Bush on your fantasy bench until you see what kind of role he'll have.
Other notable skill players listed on this week's injury report as questionable include Browns RB Jerome Harrison (thigh), Redskins RB Clinton Portis (wrist), Falcons WR Michael Jenkins (shoulder) and Buccaneers RB Kareem Huggins (groin). Those listed as doubtful include Rams WR Laurent Robinson (foot), Browns QB Jake Delhomme and Browns WR Brian Robiskie. Declared out are Steelers QB Dennis Dixon (knee), Lions WR Nate Burleson (ankle), Lions QB Matthew Stafford (shoulder), Saints RB Reggie Bush (leg), Raiders WR Chaz Schilens (knee) and Cardinals WR Early Doucet (groin).

A week after leaving the Eagles game because of a concussion, Michael Vick is out again, this time because of a broken right hand. The left-handed QB is doubtful to return to the team's Week Three matchup with the Giants after being hurt.
Vick was cleared by doctors to play in Week Three after suffering a head injury last week. He completed 16-of-23 passes for 176 yards before leaving the game in the third quarter following a pair of quarterback sneaks where he was hit hard. He was taken into the locker room for X-rays following that drive.
Mike Kafka replaced Vick in the Eagles lineup.
Eagles WR Jeremy Maclin is also doubtful to return with a hamstring injury.

The runner was on an error, mind you.
One of the stories of the postseason has been Tim Lincecum, confusing disappointment, turning into Tim Lincecum, old-school relief ace. And in the middle of Game 3, Bruce Bochy went to the Lincecum well in the sixth inning, hoping he could bridge the gap between Ryan Vogelsong and the late-inning relievers.
Lincecum did more than that, pitching 2⅓ scoreless innings, allowing just a walk. His fastball is the best it's looked all season, allowing him to get hitters chasing his changeup.
He's not doing it alone, though. He has a little help from his friends:
It was Crawford who made the error to extend the inning, but he started the inning by getting that out against Miguel Cabrera. Lincecum struck out Prince Fielder on three pitches after that, and following the error that allowed Delmon Young to reach, Andy Dirks struck out on a changeup to end the inning.

It's official.
The Hinds County Board of Supervisors just dug the hole they are trying to hide in even deeper this week.
Supervisors Phil Fisher and Peggy Calhoun tried to warn the other three to no avail.
The multi-million dollar no bid contract was awarded to Airwave to maintain 3 radio tower sites and service radios.
But, it violates the state's bid law since it is not for the professional services allowed by the law like physicians, attorneys, accountants, engineers and the like.
Hopefully State Auditor Stacey Pickering will eventually get to the bottom of what these hoodwinking political houndogs are doing.
Let's just hope they don't bury the bones so deep they can't be found.
That's my Point of View.

Queen Elizabeth Hospital turns away measles mum-to-be
Updated 9:13am Tuesday 19th February 2013 in Bexley By Sarah Trotter, reporter
A PREGNANT woman suffering from pneumonia and measles went to "hell and back" after being repeatedly turned away from Queen Elizabeth Hospital, it is claimed.
Leah Painell feared she would lose her unborn child as she waited in terrible pain but was sent away three times by staff who told her to take Paracetamol for a "virus".
Eventually, staff at the Woolwich hospital diagnosed the 23-year-old with measles and pneumonia, breaking the news her baby might be stillborn, deaf or blind.
She said her week-long ordeal included being kept waiting in cramped cubicles where she had "sky-high" temperatures, severe stomach pain and soiled sheets which had to be changed by her boyfriend.
The Thamesmead mum-to-be's mother Rosemarie Smith, 44, of Walvercoat Road, told News Shopper: "I thought I was losing my daughter and my grandson. "I have never ever seen anything like it in my life - I think it is absolutely disgusting.
"If they dealt with her sooner it might not have got that far but the fact she went through hell and back was unbelievable."
Ms Painell, who also lives in Walvercoat Road, said she was first taken to hospital on February 4 and dismissed three times with a severe rash, temperature, lack of appetite and pains.
The 15-weeks pregnant patient was kept for hours in waiting rooms or small cubicles without a bed as staff quibbled over which department was responsible for her.
Her mum said the family was turned "upside down" with worry during the agonising week and claims the hospital refused to give the baby a scan to check his health. She said: "By Saturday night she was very poorly and very scared and we didn't know what to do so we took her back again.
"By Sunday morning we were pacing the floors - I can't explain to you in words how ill she was."
A nurse passed the family a number for organisation Patient Action Group (PAG) who paid for a private scan, showing the baby boy was healthy, although there are fears he may be born deaf or blind.
Ms Painell said: "I am feeling better. Just a little bit depressed, a little teary. I am worried about the baby."
A PAG spokeswoman said: ""With every call a member of PAG takes, we never think things can get worse.
"The case of Leah Painell is one of the worst to date, as it is not just the life of Mrs Smith's daughter Leah but also her unborn child."
She went on to praise whistleblowers at the hospital where she says there are many reports of bed shortages, a lack of oxygen supplies, and early patient discharges at the hospital.
PAG can be contacted at email@example.com
A spokesman for South London Healthcare Trust, which runs Queen Elizabeth Hospital, said; "We are looking into the circumstances around the care of this patient including working with colleagues from a neighbouring NHS organisation which runs the Urgent Care Centre she initially attended.
"The patient hasn't complained to us or contacted us directly but we are keen to resolve any issues, so we would advise that the patient contacts our Patient Advice and Liasion Service on 020 8836 4592."

Contacting the pals or the trust you must be a bigger joker than a corrupt liar.
Why do you think nobody contacts the trust because the lines are always busy with complaints and the hospital full of bullies if they dare to complain
Still we suppose you could always say the mortality rates are down but that's because the patients are sent home too early. They can die then.
You just remember one thing the corruption in the trust will be exposed soon and those bullies will fall like dominoes.
Elderly have a right to decent treatment and to live like any patient .
This young girl was fortunate to get PAG help

Sullivan open to U's return
10:16am Wednesday 5th December 2012 in Colchester Utd By Jonathan Waldron
John Sullivan has left the door open for a return to Colchester United.
The 24-year-old goalkeeper has gone back to Charlton Athletic, following the conclusion of his loan spell at the U's.
Sullivan wanted to extend his stint at Colchester, having spent a month at the Weston Homes Community Stadium.
But Joe Dunne decided against keeping Sullivan for longer.
The U's boss plans to recall Mark Cousins for his side's clash with Oldham Athletic, on Saturday.
However, Sullivan has said he would welcome a return to Colchester in the future - should the opportunity arise.
Sullivan said: "I would have loved to have extended the loan but that's football."
See Wednesday's Gazette for more on this story and all of the latest Colchester United news.

The production has given film star Jake Gyllenhaal his (well-reviewed) American stage debut, playing an estranged, misfit uncle who bonds with his outsider niece while visiting his brother and sister-in-law. Tony Award nominee Enid Graham (Broadway's Honour, Fortune's Fool, Dinner at Eight, The Constant Wife, The Public Theater's recent King Lear) joined the cast in the role of busy mother Fiona (replacing Michelle Gomez) on Oct. 23.
The limited run, which was originally scheduled to run through Nov. 25 only, took a 13-day break before resuming performances.
On Dec. 9, a special talkback on the topic of climate change will follow the 2 PM performance. The talkback is complimentary for ticketholders to this performance, and a limited number of tickets are still available to purchase. Pia Catton of The Wall Street Journal will serve as moderator of the discussion, focused on the themes of climate change and global warming that resonate within Payne's play. Joining Catton will be cast members and Mary-Elena Carr and Bob Anderson of The Earth Institute at Columbia University.
The design team includes Beowulf Boritt (sets), Susan Hilferty (costumes), Natasha Katz (lights) and Obadiah Eaves (original music and sound). Read the Playbill.com feature about the production's unusual water-logged scenic design by Beowulf Boritt.
If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet plays at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre/Laura Pels Theatre (111 W. 46th Street).
Here's how Roundabout bills the play: "If There Is I Haven't Found It Yet is an entertaining look at a regular family stuck somewhere between knowing what the problem is... and doing something about it. Fifteen-year-old Anna's weight makes her a natural target for bullies. When her mom transfers Anna to the school where she teaches in order to protect her daughter, it only makes things worse. Anna's environmentalist dad, determined to finish his new book and save the planet, is no help at all. Just as Anna gets suspended for retaliating with a head-butt, her estranged uncle Terry arrives unannounced. A heartbroken drifter with the mouth of a sailor, Terry reaches out to Anna in a way that no one ever has. Their unexpected friendship sends her parents' rocky marriage into a tailspin as the whole family wonders, what — or who — really needs saving?"

Am I allowed to discuss this? My last thread was closed under suspicious circumstances... ?
This was one of the few UFO events which involved a specific harm on the peoples of Colares. It is a small Brazilian Island where UFO's... many of them appeared from no where. I don't have physical evidence, however, in the 1990's it became public knowledge that this event had occurred after a thorough investigation into the incident by officials.
The Colares Flap Incident involved one of the first incidents where UFO's have attacked. During the outbreak, the UFO's shot beams of light at the citizens which where believed to be some kind of extreme intense and focused radiation. Those who were hit by the beams suferred severe radiation burns. A doctor present on the island treated them for their burn marks. The Brazillian Government dispatched a team to investigate it, and it was classified until the 1990's.
The physical evidence seems to be on record, since wiki has an article on it.
So what where these? It is surely not our own types of aircraft... If it is, we have been making leaps in technological advancements - but then the question, is why would we open an attack on these poor people?

KRONENWETTER, Wis. (WSAU) -- Kronenwetter is expanding its run water order to all residents living west of I-39.
This another expansion of an order already in place in the village. Residents should check to see if they've received a flyer or notice. Those with the order should leave one tap in their house running continuously until the order is lifted, enough to match the width of a pencil.
The precaution is there to prevent costly breaks in water mains due to ice forming in the pipes. Those who have been asked to run their water will be billed from last year's average water usage.
You can call the Kronenwetter Water Department for more information at 715-693-5732.

We are really into the baseball doldrums now. It's been four weeks since the World Series ended. The awards winners have been announced. The new Collective Bargaining Agreement has been secured. And the free-agent and trade markets have been, well, boring. At least so far.
So on this Thanksgiving weekend, let's take a few moments to appreciate some players who accomplished little-noticed feats in 2011. They each made baseball special in some way.
Dane Sardinha, part-time backup catcher for the Philadelphia Phillies. In only 15 games and 43 plate appearances, Sardinha walked 10 times for a walk rate of 23.3 percent, the highest in the majors for players with more than 10 PA. Sardinha's walk rate was two percent higher than Jose Bautista's. Yes, Bautista had 612 more plate appearances, but who's counting.
Livan Hernandez, starting pitcher for the Washington Nationals. Hernandez had the lowest strikeout rate in the majors for players with more than 10 plate appearances, at 3.3 percent. With 61 PA, Hernandez struck out only twice. Twice! And didn't walk a single time.
Dan Johnson, on-again-off-again first baseman for the Tampa Bay Rays. Yes, Johnson hit this game-tying home run for the Rays in the bottom of the ninth inning in Game 162 against the Yankees. But overall in 2011, Johnson was the unluckiest batter with at least 80 plate appearances. In 91 PA, Johnson ended the season with a .125 BABIP. Which kinda makes the Game 162 home run even more remarkable.
Kevin Slowey, pitcher for the Minnesota Twins. Slowey started eight games for the Twins and pitched in six others, for a total of 59⅓ innings. Slowey landed on the disabled list twice: in the second week of the season, he went on the DL for a month with shoulder inflammation; two weeks later he suffered an abdominal strain that kept him out from late May through late July. But that's not what made him special. Of all major-league pitchers who threw at least 50 innings in 2011, Slowey gave up the fewest walks -- just five -- and ended the season with the lowest walk rate at 1.9 percent. Slowey also had zero wins and a 6.67 ERA. That's a pretty special combination.
Bobby Abreu, outfielder and designated hitter for the Los Angeles Angels. FanGraphs' Clutch statistic measures how well a batter performs in high-leverage situations, as compared to his performance in all situations. A player who performs best in high-leverage situations is considered very clutch. Abreu had the highest Clutch score of any hitter with at least 100 plate appearances at 2.70. The next most clutch hitter? Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers, at 2.20. No other players with at least 100 PA had a clutch score above 2.00.
Tyler Clippard, relief pitcher for the Washington Nationals. Clippard pitched 81⅓ innings for the Nationals in 2011, the vast majority in the seventh and eighth innings. He ended the season with the highest left-on-base percentage in the majors for pitchers who threw more than 50 innings. At 95.6 percent, Clippard's LOB% edged out Koji Uehara by 0.7 percent.
Pablo Sandoval, third baseman for the San Francisco Giants. Sandoval ended the season tied with the Yankees' Brett Gardner and the Tigers' Austin Jackson with the most Defensive Runs Saved, with 22. Although none of these players won Gold Gloves, Gardner and Jackson won Fielding Bible Awards, so they were recognized in for their defensive prowess. Sandoval won no awards but should have, as he accumulated his 22 DRS in only 904 innings in the field; both Jackson and Gardner logged more than 1,150 innings on the outfield grass.
Players We Missed in 2011. Other players to be thankful for? Adam Wainwright, Kendrys Morales, Buster Posey, Ike Davis, Johan Santana, Brett Anderson, Dallas Braden, and Josh Johnson. These players missed all or or most of the season with serious injuries and are undergoing grueling rehabilitation to be ready to play in 2012. I'm grateful for their immense talent, their dedication and their love of baseball. And I can't wait to watch them do special things in 2012.
Who are you thankful for?

Al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri called on Egyptians to protest what he termed
Egyptian President Mohamad Morsi's "normalization" of ties with Israel, AFP
reported Friday.
In a 58-minute video summarized and translated by the
Search for International Terrorist Entities (SITE) Intelligence Group, Zawahiri
called for mass demonstrations "against the Israeli embassy and against
normalization and the peace treaty with Israel, and against the Israeli
occupation of the land of Palestine, and against any concession and surrender to
it, and against every siege in Gaza."
Zawahiri, who became the leader of
al-Qaida shortly after Osama bin Laden was killed by US troops, also pressed
the newly elected Egyptian president to clarify his position on relations with
the Palestinians and "the jihad to liberate Palestine."
Egypt brokered an
informal cease-fire between Israel and Hamas earlier this week, after two days
of intense violence that saw some 80 rockets and mortar shells fired from the
Gaza Strip into the western Negev.
Alongside his mediation efforts, Morsi
reaffirmed his commitment to the Palestinian people and promised his support in
their "struggle" against Israel.
Speaking on state television to mark the
Id al-Adha festival, Morsi said, "We will never accept any assault or siege on
the Palestinians."
Even so, some have questioned Morsi's commitment to
Vice Premier Silvan Shalom said Thursday that "Egypt's actions
against Hamas are much harsher [now] than they were under the previous regime."
In a separate video released on the Internet, Zawahiri called for Muslims to
kidnap Westerners and urged the full implementation of Shari'a (Islamic)
"The battle isn't over, but it has started," Zawahiri said. "I call
upon Muslims to capture citizens of the countries that wage wars against
Zawahiri, who was bin Laden's lieutenant and the brains behind
much of al-Qaida's strategy for many years, also directly challenged US
President Barack Obama, calling him a "professional liar."
"Obama must
admit he and his allies are standing in the defeated line, and that Osama bin
Laden, may Allah have mercy on him, and the rest of the mujahedeen and the
Muslim Ummah [nation] are standing in the victorious line, whether anyone likes
it or not," he said Zawahiri.

So glad about summer bulbs
(Aug 22, '14)
If this had been a "normal" summer (is there any such thing?) by now we would probably be feeling beat by the heat. The gardens might have started to look sun scorched, faded, and dusty — IF we hadn't planned ahead to prevent that from happening. We always plan — and then plant — for […]
August blooms
(Aug 15, '14)
I'm so glad it's Garden Bloggers Bloom Day today because I can't think of a better way to celebrate my return to the gardens after a week's vacation. And looking back in my archives here I'm amazed to see that I haven't participated in an August Garden Bloggers Bloom Day since 2008. (Where have I […]

Free Book: JBoss in Action
Reviewer RatingsRelevance:
Buy it now
One Minute Bottom Line
|It is very simple to rate this book: everyone who uses JBoss AS should own and read a copy. The book is highly readable and with tons of working examples. The references at the end of each chapter are a real bonus.
ReviewThis book is divided into four parts, containing 15 chapters and two appendices.
Part 1: The JBoss Application Server
If you are using JBoss than you can simply skip Chapter 1(Vote for JBoss). This chapter gets you up and running with JBoss by describing the directories and files that are part of JBoss AS, how to start and stop the server, and finally show how to deploy and undeploy a simple web application.
Chapter 2(Managing the JBoss Application Server) starts with a description of how JBoss application server is architected;the JBoss Microcontainer and JMX. Next, you will learn how each of these components are configured using its own configuration file, and how you can change these as well. Next, we get a closer look at a few of the management tools provided by JBoss like the JMX Console and twiddle. And finally, a look at some MBeans that provide helpful information,the MBeans that give the list of names in the JNDI namespace or a list of system properties.
Chapter 3(Deploying applications) is especially useful if you are encountering tons of deployment errors. This chapter starts with explaining how to deploy applications as well as services. Next, the most important section which you shouldn't miss reading at all; understanding class loading. In this section, the authors start with a description of the class loaders, then go into class scoping, which enables the application server to differentiate among classes. Next in this section, a look at loader repositories which enable several class loaders to share or isolate classes. The next few sections cover common deployment errors like class not found exception, class cast exception and so on. The last section in this chapter is about configuring data sources and Hibernate archives.
If you are concerned about the security of your applications than Chapter 4(Securing applications) shows you everything you need to know about securing your applications. The authors discuss in detail the fundamental concepts behind application security, including authentication, authorization, and encryption and how they are implemented in JBoss AS. They also show you how to configure by demonstrating how you can access security data from a database, LDAP, or other security datastores.
Part 2: Application Services
If you are deploying web applications to JBoss than you must read Chapter 5(Configuring JBoss Web Server). It covers configuring web applications, JBoss web server, the key configuration files. Next, is configuring specific things in web applications like the URL paths, then the authors discussed JBoss Web Server connectors and how they're used to allow client requests to come in over different protocols. In the next section the authors give us an overview of why web applications have different class loading rules and show us how to configure different web-specific class loading parameters. Next comes valves, another feature of JBoss Web Server, and finally the last section is all about configuring JavaServer Faces.
In chapter 4, the authors discussed about the fundamentals of JBoss security and showed you how to configure security domains and login modules. Chapter 6(Securing web applications) explores the configuration files necessary to enable security, how to enable authentication and authorization for URLs relative to your application's context path. And finally see how to enable secure communication for server authentication, mutual authentication, and client-certificate authentication.
If you are a huge fan of EJB's just like I am, than Chapter 7(Configuring enterprise applications) shows you how to structure, deploy, and configure EJB applications. Then, you will learn how to configure the application server, and finally also secure EJB applications.
In Chapter 8(JBoss Messaging), you'll learn about configuring messaging. The chapter begins by describing JMS and how JBoss Messaging is architected. You will see an example of a message-driven EJB and a message-driven POJO. The authors show you how to use a database for message storage, how to define destinations, and how to configure authentication and authorization for those destinations.
If you are quite familiar with web services than you skip the first few sections of Chapter 9(Configuring Web Services) which introduces you to web services, shows you how to develop a simple web service. However, don't skip the next few sections which are quite interesting and cover topics such as JBossWS annotations, securing your web services using authorization and encryption.
Part 3: JBoss Portal
I did evaluate JBoss Portal sometime in 2006. So, I am not an expert in this specific area so I just skimmed over Chapters 10 and 11. These chapters provide a very basic introduction to JBoss Portal. So, I am just going to quote the topics covered in these two chapters:
- Creating a portlet using JSPs and JSTL
- Using the Admin portlet and the descriptor files to define portlet instances and portlet windows
- Using multiple instances within a portal
- Adding content to the CMS
- Configuring window appearance
- Setting up access control for portals, pages, and windows
- Creating a custom portal
Part 4: Going to Production
All the chapters in this section are important and very interesting. These chapters cover everything you will need to know when your application goes to production.
Chapters 12 and 13 are dedicated to clustering. Chapter 12(Understanding Clustering) begins with the fundamentals of clustering; It was interesting to set up a simple cluster as explained in this chapter and learn how to configure JGroups and JBoss Cache. Chapter 13 covers clustering as applied to Java EE specific application components and services like session EJB's and entities, HTTP session replication, and JNDI.
If you need to access and improve the performance of your application, than you need to read Chapter 14(Tunning the JBoss Application Server). In this chapters you will see ways to tune the hardware, operating system, database, JVM, application server, and of course your deployed application. There are also a few tips on how to interpret thread dumps to pinpoint performance issues within your code.
Chapter 15(Going to production) is the last chapter in this book which covers topics such as selecting a platform, running JBoss AS as a service, running multiple JBoss AS instances on the same machine. You will also learn how to remove services which are not required, secure the management applications, change the default data source, database, configuring the EJB3 timer service and precompile JSPs.
Appendix A: JNDI namespaces
In this appendix, the authors explore how JBoss does JNDI binding and how to generically bind your applications in JNDI, making them more portable across application servers.
Appendix B: Change is inevitable
To quote the authors
This appendix contains changes that came after CR2 and before the book went to the printer. Any changes after that will appear on the book's website.

I have used JBoss Portal some time back and resently been using Weblogic Portal 10.2. We are planning for a new portal implimentation, and we am not sure which one to pick.
I need to evalute both and see, I guess this book will help me in the evalaution from full application server stack point of view.
Please pass me the free book :-)
Cody A_ replied on Wed, 2009/01/14 - 11:19am
I have used JBoss 4+ for both development and production use. We particularly were interested in JBoss's clustering capabilities, which worked quite well for our needs. We were able to configure a 4 node , load balanced cluster with session replication and sticky sessions enabled. And surprisingly enough, the documentation was well written for our needs. I have yet to test JBoss 5, however I do plan to in the near future. I credit JBoss and company for their efforts to attain to the EJB 3 standards.
We were also interested in Drools (JBoss Rules), however, it has been a steep learning curve with the new syntax and all. Also our business logic was just too complex to try and write rules around.
Overall I have had a pleasant experience in using JBoss. Keep up the good work.
Ryan Ransford replied on Wed, 2009/01/14 - 11:26am
We are trying out JBoss for the first time on our application's next tech refresh.
One of the biggest issues I run into is the fact that the stable release of the JBossTools plug-in does not work with Eclipse 3.4. If you are using Eclipse 3.4, be sure to use the release candidate version of the JBossTools plug-in instead of the stable version.

We support three app servers in our product and its the JBoss which is used by all devlopers. I specially like the support for exploded deployment which reduces dev time considerably
Further its lightweight and and has a fast startup time. For cluster testing I can simultaneously run two instance of JBoss on a single system and still having my system working normally.
Looking forward to understand its architecture through this book.
Josh Marotti replied on Wed, 2009/01/14 - 11:53am
Not much to add, as I haven't read the book, but I must say that I always use JBoss as a first choice. When anyone asks why, I simply ask them how they make a JMS Queue in their app server of choice. I write 2 lines of XML. No UI with 12 steps, etc..
When I built a JMS Queue for the first time in JBoss, I realized the simplicity it gave to the developer...

Jboss certainly makes the rote stuff easy and the interesting stuff possible. It could use a cleaner UI when it comes tojmx. The Drools support is fantastic and the directory structure is more sane these days. It was one of the nicest days when my company decided to drop the remaining Websphere servers and stick soley to JBoss...

Good short review of JBoss AS features in the book, Meera. That's helpful. Thanks. Happy New Year.
About the book, what else do we expect? Bill Burke, a long time JBoss contributor and architect, currently a Fellow at the JBoss division of Red Hat, could also have contributed to the book contents. It was good to meet and hear from Bill Burke at the 2002 The ServerSide Java symposium in Boston, MA. (He has already authored EJB 3.0 5th Edition with Richard -- but that's by O'Reilly).
However regarding the JBoss in Action book and its authors Javid Jamae and Peter Johnson - both authors have great experience in IT. I mean, Javid started programming BASIC on the Apple IIe at 5 years old (read http://java.dzone.com/articles/an-interview-with-jboss-action) and Peter is coding since last 40 years. That's significant.
As we know, JBoss AS is a certified J2EE application server from JBoss Enterprise Middleware System (JEMS). It started as an open source EJB container project during 1999-2000 time frame, and today (as of 2009 beginning) has witnessed millions of downloads across the world including 50,000 downloads of JBoss AS 5.0 alone. JBoss AS 5.0 is a Java EE 1.5 compliant software. It is built on top of the new JBoss Microcontainer and it is known that it had been in development for 3+ years.
I need to work on JBoss AS in critical production environments, so as per the book's review, I look forward to learning a lot from the book contents. Thanks for a FREE book give-away, it's a great initiative WIN-WIN-WIN, as readers benefit, the technology gets promoted (rightfully so), and a hunt to distinguish a motivated dedicated software engineer from the crowd is quenched to an extent.

[quote=patrickjusseau] I have used JBoss since version 3.2.x and recently moved to 4.2 in order to use EJB3.0 . I do rich client (Swing) development. I find JBoss very powerfull but I wished there were some nice UI tools...[/quote]
Did you have a look at Jopr or embedded Jopr?
Marcin Sałaciński replied on Wed, 2009/01/14 - 12:58pm
I have been using JBoss in development of all internal systems in the company I work for. We started also using this application server in commercial projects we do for our customers. All that because JBoss is flexible, powerfull and what is also very important - robust and free. We have used Weblogic or Websphere, but JBoss seems to be the most recommended server for all the solutions that need to be fast, and need to be launched without paying thousands of dollars for one processor licence. The configuration of the server is maybe not a very trivial one, but once we do it we use it with pleasure - especially the auto-deployment makes our life easier.
Keep up the good work, JBoss team!
Ernest Zapata replied on Wed, 2009/01/14 - 1:13pm
Currently, my only experience of JBoss is limited to a quick install and review a few years back. Coincidentally, one of my management asked me just yesterday about JBoss versus Tomcat (which we currently use), and other application servers.
Hopefully, I can get a better understanding about JBoss internals/features so I can better provide my feedback to management.

Manning's In Action series have always been my goto books when wanting to learn something new or simply to learn more about a particular technology e.g. Hibernate, Spring, Ant, JSF, Struts... etc. What I did not have was a JBoss In Action book to help me better understand the power that JBoss provides.
I am a government employee who has to use OC4J for an application server. Now, that costs are becoming more and more of an issue, the need to use something more affordable i.e. JBoss has become more of a priority. I can pitch the cost savings involved with licensing and tech support to our agency's director all day long, but if I can't convince some of our Oracle advocates how much easier it is to use JBoss, then my preaching for a change will fall on deaf ears.
Knowing that this book exists makes me that much more confident that I will be able to get the Oracle loyalists on board with JBoss by simply handing them this book and waiting a few days for them to come back to me with their WoW face. I say WoW because Manning books are just as addicting as the game!
Rick J. Wagner replied on Wed, 2009/01/14 - 1:31pm
We've used JBoss Application Server since JBoss 3 for production use, and before that for development. It's become a great part of our enterprise infrastructure and it's something I'd recommend to anyone.
Lately we've been using other JBoss products as well, to include Hibernate and Drools. These tools have allowed us to build applications faster and without as much concern for maintenance over the long haul.
All things considered, JBoss has become a big part of our environment. Thanks for the great product, RedHat!

New Postal charge system
I am writing this petition to complain about the new postal charge system and the general decline in the postal service. Please read the points below and if you agree please sign. 1. New Charges for postage are very complex, size, weight and thickness.why is the maximum thickness for 1st class 5mm when most letterboxes are over an inch in height 2. to get postage right you have to go to a post office, this proving difficult due to post office closures. if postage is wrong you are charged a £1 admin charge plus the excess postage, we feel that this admin charge is excessie and unfair. 3. Missing post is on the increase and the post offices service to deal with this is useless. Where is the missing post going 4. Post that needs to be collected from the sorting office suffers from excessive delays from the date it is post marked to the time the card comes through the letter box. example an item Post marked on the 16th june the collection card was received on the 22nd of june, a delay of 6 days we feel this is unacceptable.

A new administrative computer system for Queen's
The University is implementing a new computer system for its administrative functions. Does it affect you? Read on to find out.
Many alumni will remember the ritual of standing in line waiting for their registrations to be processed manually at the start of a new academic year. The anticipation may be the same today, but old systems used to process paper forms—including admissions, registration, financial aid, course and exam scheduling, transcripts and student records–are being replaced with new online "PeopleSoft" applications.
The Queen's University Administrative Systems Replacement (QUASR) project began in 2005, when Queen's initiated an administrative systems review. The old, outdated system is being replaced with a new web-based system, offering integrated functionality and presenting Queen's with the ability to implement leading practices. How will QUASR impact alumni?
• New Self-Service system - The online system known as QCARD will be replaced with PeopleSoft Student "Self-Service" in March. If you need to log into your student account to order a transcript or for any other reason, you can access Self-Service via the Queen's Portal at www.my.queensu.ca. To log in, you will need a NetID and password. To obtain a NetID and password, if you do not have them, navigate to http://netid.queensu.ca/activate, and complete all required steps. You will need your student number and date of birth. If you cannot remember your student number, please contact the Office of the University Registrar at 613-533-2040 between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm Eastern time.
• Transcripts – The University has changed the format of its official transcript to ensure consistency across Queen's programs.
• Student Numbers – Student numbers will become eight digits instead of seven. Old seven-digit numbers will have a zero added to them as a new first digit. For example, student number 123-4567 will become 0123-4567.
For more information on the QUASR project, please visit https://my.queensu.ca or call 613-533-6000, ext. 79326.

Reviews for
Wish You Well : Library Edition
AudioFile Reviews 2007 October/November
Baldacci is known for his thrillers, but after WISH YOU WELL the real mystery is why he doesn't write more stories like it. He shows strong insight into the minds of children by telling the story of 12-year-old Lou and her 7-year-old brother, Oz, who are learning to live with their great-grandmother in Virginia after the death of their father. Norma Lana brings so much vigor to the story the listener will be tempted to stand up and cheer, or reach for a tissue. This is one of those performances that make us late for work. Lana speaks in the mountain tongue so well that there's no question of its authenticity. There's a lot of Baldacci in the story--he comes from the same mountains-- and it shows in the sheer joy of the writing. M.S. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

DUDLEY (AP) — Police say two friends playing a game of quick draw by seeing who could pull a gun or knife faster led to the accidental shooting of one man.
Daniel Grenon was released on personal recognizance after pleading not guilty Wednesday in Dudley District Court to charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, improper storage of ammunition and six counts of improperly storing a firearm.
Police say the 24-year-old Grenon of Webster, a security guard, accidentally shot 24-year-old Ryan Aldridge of Shrewsbury in the abdomen just before midnight on New Year's Eve.
Aldridge required surgery but survived.
The Telegram & Gazette (http://bit.ly/Um2y6s ) reports that Grenon's lawyer says his client is "extremely upset" and thought the gun was unloaded.
Grenon was also ordered to surrender his guns.

Lee, Bedard progressing well
Mariners southpaws expected to rehab in Minors
OAKLAND -- The news keeps getting better for Mariners left-handers Cliff Lee and Erik Bedard, who started the season on the 15-day disabled list.
Lee, sidelined since March 15 with a strained lower abdominal muscle, threw eight pitches off the bullpen mound at the Oakland Coliseum Wednesday afternoon and pronounced himself ready to have a more vigorous bullpen session on Friday.
"I threw pretty hard, pretty close to maximum effort and everything feels normal," he said. "I'll throw a bullpen on Friday [in Arlington] and go from there."
The brief Wednesday session basically was a test run. Lee had not been on a mound since March 18, and how he reacts to Friday's BP session would give the team more of an idea as to how soon he could make his regular-season debut.
"He threw eight pitches off the mound and says he's ready to pitch," manager Don Wakamatsu said. "He'll go 25 pitches off the rubber on Friday and we'll try to stretch him out to 40 the next time.
"The challenge is going to be holding him back to make sure we're safe."
General manager Jack Zduriencik said Lee, acquired from the Phillies for three players last December, would continue to take "baby steps" until he's completely healthy.
"Everybody was real pleased with what they saw and he said he felt good, but we want to make sure he's ready to roll when he's ready to roll," the GM said. "But today was very positive, very positive."
Bedard, meanwhile, continues to progress from the shoulder surgery he had last August to repair a torn labrum. He also threw a bullpen on Wednesday.
"He feels great and may be ahead [of Lee] in a sense," Wakamatsu said.
Mariners pitching coach Rick Adair has made some mechanical changes in Bedard's delivery and they seem to be working. The changes have taken some of the pressure off Bedard's shoulder and arm.
Both pitchers are expected to throw some simulated games and then go on rehab assignments to the Minor Leagues.
Lee tentatively is scheduled to throw a simulated game next Wednesday at Safeco Field, take a couple of days off and then throw another two-inning simulated game.
Lee figures to be recalled after reaching the 75- to 80-pitch count in the Minors. But he also faces a five-game suspension for throwing a pitch over the head of D-backs catcher Chris Snyder on March 15.
Lee appealed the suspension, which has yet to be resolved.
Close games still the norm
OAKLAND -- Manager Don Wakamatsu became a little thinner under his baseball cap last season when the Mariners had 53 percent of their games decided by one or two runs.
They tied a club record with 86 one- or two-run games, won an MLB-leading 35 one-run games and combined to go 51-35 overall.
Here we go again.
The first two games in 2010 were decided by either one or two runs with the Mariners scoring two runs in the ninth inning for a 5-3 victory and then dropping a walk-off, 2-1, 10-inning decision to the Athletics on Tuesday night.
"I enjoy playing one-run games," he said. "I think it's healthy for the game. Would I rather have 10 runs a game? Absolutely. But I don't mind [close games]. If our pitching is where we think it can be, we should be in a lot of ballgames."
One Franklin not enough
OAKLAND -- Center fielder Franklin Gutierrez is swinging one of the few hot bats for the Mariners.
He's the only player with more than one hit in the first two games of the season, going 2-for-4 in Tuesday night's extra-inning loss to the Athletics.
Gutierrez extended his hitting streak to seven games, dating back to the final week of the 2009 season. He is batting .385 (10-for-26) with four doubles, four RBIs and six runs scored.
Worth noting
The extra-inning game on Tuesday night was the earliest the Mariners have played overtime since opening the 1996 season with a 12-inning game against the White Sox. Seattle won it, 3-2. Seven years later, the Mariners and Athletics battled for 11 innings before Oakland notched a 7-6 walk-off victory in the third game of the season. ... One-third of catcher Adam Moore's career starts have gone extra innings. He has started six games and two of them have gone beyond nine innings. The first game Moore started lasted 14 frames. ... The Mariners had 11 hits in their first two games, but no more than one in the same inning. ... The error charged to third baseman Jose Lopez on Tuesday night was changed to a base hit on Wednesday morning by the official scorer.

CMU Common Lisp
<language> (CMU CL) A public domain "industrial strength" Common Lisp programming environment. Many of the X3J13 changes have been incorporated into CMU CL. Wherever possible, this has been done so as to transparently allow use of either CLtL1 or proposed ANSI CL. Probably the new features most interesting to users are SETF functions, LOOP and the WITH-COMPILATION-UNIT macro.
The new CMU CL compiler is called Python.
Version 17c includes an incremental compiler, profiler, run-time support, documentation, an editor and a debugger. It runs under Mach on SPARC, MIPS and IBM PC RT and under SunOS on SPARC.
