FindBugs is EVERYWHERE
Findbugs has become ubiquitous in Java shops.
Not only is it is run on Java itself, it is used by small startups through large corporations.
It's free and effective. It won't find every bug, but the bugs it finds are all real bugs. EVERY Java shop should be running Findbugs.
Obviously some bugs can exist for years and never cause a problem. If Findbugs identifies thousands of issues, create a plan to identify the top priority defects. That is, the ones the cost the company the most money.

Die Presse
The series of riots that struck England in early August have provoked many reactions, much national debate and widespread international amazement. Across England beginning on the 6th of August four nights of widespread and rising public disorder saw five people killed, random violence of frightening intensity and mass looting in many towns and cities.
Emerging from nowhere these riots genuinely shocked the country - perhaps most of all because there seemed no guiding motive or burning issue of injustice. The sense of social crisis was exacerbated by a clear failure of police tactics, initially mis-classifying the event as a race riot and fearing to add fuel to the fire, Police adopted tactical containment strategies that contrary to strategic intention further inspired the sense of unprecedented criminal opportunity for others around the country.
Britons unused to the sense of widespread criminal licence (except in the more refined areas of finance and business) remain profoundly shaken by the riots rightly thinking that something new, indicative and dangerously prophetic had occurred. British politicians similarly struck by the gravity and scale of events realise that this is a defining event that could make or break public trust and have, with decidedly mixed results, desperately been trying to capture and represent the resulting public mood.
Broadly speaking the right has decried the moral depravity of the rioters and promised harsh punishment while the left accepting the clear criminality of the rioting has sought nonetheless to portray the disturbances as an incipient issue of social justice and pledged to investigate its complex causes. Interestingly neither side feels entirely comfortable with its initial analysis, in its more reflective moments the right feels rightly it is more than simple law-breaking, it considers family breakdown and the consequent loss of social morality as a prime causational factor; while the left in the face of the manifest criminality of the rioters' behaviour, has struggled with its instinctive intuition that the riots must either be a political protest at public sector cutbacks (unlikely since they have yet to take effect) or a direct result of social deprivation (as yet unclear given the range of those involved in rioting). Those unable to offer even this level of analysis claim to put the disturbances in their historical context placing mass disturbance within a normal part of the radical English tradition, even more avid defenders of the status quo argue that a tiny unrepresentative minority have been given undue prominence and opportunity by the 24 hour media cycle and modern social networks, and that while not quite much ado about nothing - things will soon return to normal.
30.000 Nihilists? But these riots represent a new sociological phenomenon (in London alone police estimate that up to 30,000 people were involved) and a new nihilistic normal one that reveals and reflects the profound social, cultural and economic shifts that have shaped Britain over the last thirty years. First of all the riots were new in that unlike the riots in the UK in the 1980's and some isolated incidents thereafter they were not characterised by any ethnic or localised concerns. Indeed it was their very ubiquity that was so unnerving - across the country gangs of predominately young unemployed men often with criminal records were able to facilitate using new media, a series of semi-organised disturbances for the purpose not of protest but of criminal gain. This activity drew into violent disorder a far wider section of British society than ever before (from school assistants to university students) to the opportunities offered by looting be it digital TVs or sports shoes.
But why would an unprecedented but nonetheless representative swath of British society suddenly behave in such a manner? An indication is to be found in what the rioters did and did not believe in - they clearly eulogised acquisition and sheer self-interest and eschewed ethics, community, and human regard. They believed in nothing but themselves and held themselves unconstrained by any moral limit and entitled to whatsoever they pleased. In a savage manner they were however merely acting out the values that now seem to govern and embody Britain - ruthless self-interest coupled to a rootless consumer nihilism.
Britain's political class seems uniquely ill placed to condemn such actions since it itself was hugely compromised in the recent political scandal over MP's expenses where some MP's have gone to jail and many including some currently in Government were compelled to repay thousands of pounds illegitimately claimed for expenditure on items very much like those prized by the looters. Moreover the British political class looks highly susceptible to both vested and monopoly interest - with News International for example manipulating both of the main political parties for insider advantage. Most British officials and advisers can barely supress a smile if one speaks of virtue or subjecting the rules of the game to value or principle. And nowhere is this more evident than in the City of London where the bigger the businesses is the more effective it is at avoiding tax, with Barclay's Bank embodying the get away with it if you can culture - paying in 2009 just 1% of its profits of £11.6 billion in corporation tax to the UK treasury.
In this regard the top and bottom of British society seem to exhibit remarkably similar values. Both undeserving rich and poor play the system and both see no reason why they should not. But this is hardly a surprise the rule for the last thirty years is that one rules the many by persuading them that the values of the self-interested few ought to be their principles as well. This moral and social collapse that has become so widespread that it seems entirely normal, it represents the final triumph of a value system that does not recognise any objective values at all: liberalism albeit in its most degraded libertarian form. Through a corrupted liberalism both left and right in unknowing but complicit agenda have participated in tearing apart Britain's social and economic fabric. Firstly and paradoxically left libertarianism used state welfarism to create autonomy in people it considered too uncosmopolitan, too dependent on each other and too defined by outmoded codes and values, as such it substituted the central state for the institutions and structures of working class communities. By making welfare and rights dependent on one way entitlement the state produced a dissociative culture that rendered superfluous all the bottom up organisation and structure of British working class life, making people and communities dependent upon state welfare rather than on each other. This has been most invidious in the war on the family – cultural libertarians on the left have followed Engels in deeming marriage to be nothing more than the bourgeois subjugation of women and state subsidy for those who wish to escape has increased dramatically. Since 1997, for example a single mother of two children has seen her benefits increase by 85 per cent. Whereas In the UK the tax burden placed on a one-earner family (two parents two children) on an average wage is 39 per cent higher than that on the same families in other OECD countries.
A changing society. The cultural and economic war on family life has had an obvious outcome. Children in the UK are now more than three times more likely to live in one parent households than they were in 1972, a third to a half of all UK children will at some point live in a lone parent family and a third of all British children are at any one time are living with just one parent. In 1971, less than 10 % of all live births in England and Wales were outside marriage, in 2008 45% of all births were outside marriage. This matters because unmarried parents have great trouble in staying together, by the time a child is 5 some 43% of cohabiting parents have already broken up - as against just 8% for married couples. Since 70% of young offenders come from lone parent families and a third of all prisoners come from families so dysfunctional that they were taken into care by the state - family structure is not something that the state can afford to be value free about.
The collapse in the family sponsored by the left libertarian mantra of choice, freedom and the massive extension of private autonomy has created widespread social anonymity and fragmentation - over 7 million Britons now live alone compared to three million in 1971. The attack upon structures that stabilise people and provide a necessary and secure footing has also been accompanied by a relentless assault on the principles that underpin these foundations be it those of faith, tradition or morality. A hostile technocratic amorality that removes culture, taboo and memory from public policy has been the hallmark of Labour's years in power.
Accompanying this cultural and social assault from the left has been a similar libertarian assault from the economic right. Under the rhetoric of free markets delivering mass prosperity - a rentier state has developed that has concentrated wealth and stripped millions of ordinary Britons of their capital denying them the path to assets, ownership and trade. The new road to serfdom for the bottom half of Britons has seem their liquid capital and savings vanish (in 1976 the bottom 50% had 12% of wealth excluding property in 2003 it was 1%) and the value of their wages as a proportion of GDP stagnate or decline
From the perspective of those who rioted perhaps the most evident indication of how the game has moved against them is migration. Thirty years ago poor unskilled working class kids could at least get jobs in shops or factories however under neo-liberal migration policies – these youths have been wholly outcompeted by hard working and or highly skilled new migrants, an astounding 99.9% of the rise of employment (not jobs) in Labour years is accounted for by rise in foreign-born workers.
In conclusion, the rioters are shamefully emblematic of modern Britain, their values have striking parallels with the UK's current elite not least because the creation of a morally denuded and economically marooned class at the bottom of society has been the outcome of an elite that has eschewed proper moral vision and embraced self-serving economics and the value system that endorses it: libertarianism under the guise of liberalism.

This specialty crop is not really new but the interest in it is new.
Elderberries are native to the U.S. and have been grown successfully in every state, with the possible exception of Hawaii. Terry Durham, an elderberry producer from Missouri, said elderberries can be grown in every county in the Midwest.
The health benefits of the crop have attracted people for hundreds of year. Hippocrates called elderberries his "medicine chest." Elderberries are commonly used to boost the immune system, lower cholesterol, improve vision and to lessen joint and muscle pain.
"Elderberry is an understudied and neglected crop," Andrew Thomas, research assistant professor of plant sciences at the University of Missouri, said. "When you look at its antioxidant content, it is nearly off the charts. It's fairly easy to grow, internationally known and has many uses including wine, juice, jams, cooking food colorants and increasingly in medicinal/nutraceutical products."
Thomas has been growing elderberries on at the University of Missouri Southwest Missouri Research Center for 15 years.

The electronics titans square off in a tangled tale of mobile technology, centered on Apple's iPhone
Looking for phones? CNET's reviews of the best phones include photos, video, and user reviews.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 4 will thrill anyone who loves a fast phone with a large screen, but it's best for compulsive scribblers willing to pay a lot for its winning stylus.
Despite great contrast and a market-busting price, the Vizio P series has too many picture quality flaws to claim the Holy Grail of 4K TV value.
The iPhone 6 delivers a bigger screen while remaining easy to handle, with plenty of features to satisfy everyone -- and the promise of Apple Pay on the horizon to potentially sweeten the deal even further.
Impressive Amazon features and an outstanding display make the the Fire HDX 8.9 one of the best and most affordable media consumption tablets.
For an inexpensive tablet, the Fire HD 7 satisfies with a practical, family-friendly operating system, but those interested in a 7-inch tablet can find models with better build quality in the same price range.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 is a smooth-performing midrange slate, but it's overpriced compared to similar tablets.
The Google Nexus 9's premium build, speedy performance and consistent updates render it one of the best high-end Android tablets.
Though it's only marginally more durable than the original Galaxy S5, the Galaxy S5 Active's physical buttons and high-end features keep it in Samsung's hit parade.
Although it's a disappointment Sony hasn't increased the screen resolution along with its size, and the camera's quirks are rather odd, the Xperia Z3 Compact's improved design, vast amounts of power, decent battery life and waterproof body help it maintain its position as one of the best mini flagships around.
The smooth performing and feature-filled Amazon Fire HD 6 is unrivaled in the bargain tablet category.

You were one of the very few brave enough to don a print at the Golden Globes, and this Lanvin blue animal spot looks divine on you.

Jun 30, 2011Gashasp: The Monster Slayer reminds me a little of each Prince of Persia, God of War, and Conan the Barbarian, all mixed together to make a pretty nice combination. Once you get a hang of all of the controls, and are able to recognize intractable objects, or even avoidable situations, the game plays so smoothly it's like watching a movie. With its mix of strategy, faced paced action, and attractive visuals, this game is a great buy.
May 18, 2011Garshasp shows some sign of promise, but these are soon worn thin as you trudge your way through bugs, frame rate issues, camera hiccups and only about 3 hours of gameplay. With a little more care and attention this could have been a pleasant surprise. Instead Garshasp: The Monster Slayer will leave you feeling out of pocket.
Jul 29, 2011Garshasp: The Monster Slayer has nothing to keep you playing for hours. The camera sucks, the fights are boring and there is not enough story.
May 12, 2011Garshasp: The Monster Slayer has monstrous ambitions, but it doesn't deliver where it counts.
Jun 1, 2011Everything they've thrown in says "look what we can do" - and that' a sentiment New Zealanders can probably appreciate more than most.
Jul 14, 2011Garshasp falls short of genre standards in nearly every way, and its shortcomings are too numerous to compensate for. [Sept 2011, p.75]
May 24, 2011Rather than a careful exposition of Persian themes and stories we get a shambling mess of a game that fails to deliver on any front. What's most disappointing is that rather than making the classic text accessible, Garshasp's narrative just mires too deep in forgotten lore to be interesting to anyone who doesn't already know what it's about. This is definitely a game about Persians and by Persians but it lacks the fundamentals to be enjoyed by anyone, including Persians.

Jan 19, 2013I give 8-9 points. Great slash game with good graphics & views. Easy getting close & intuitively combat system w. X-Box controller. Beautiful ugly monsters 6 Persian kind of ornamentation... very cheap price with 5 … Expand
May 19, 2011For an indie team of just 9 people this is really great.
Graphic: One of the best looking indie games, and some sort of uniqueness about art style, Persian mythology looks interesting in this title for me.
Gameplay: There is nothing new in this title, but combat and other mechanics are good enough for 4-5 hours of gameplay time. Not so bad for an indie game.
Sound and Music: SFX is good enough too but music sounds interesting for me.
Overall: The game was some sort of fun for me to play, this hack n slash type games are new for PC and I think a price cut can help to sell better.… Expand
May 26, 2011The game plays well for me so I have no issues with the gameplay, however, the camera angles are sometimes ridiculous and I'm currently at on point where I cannot progress any further in the game as I cannot see where I am supposed to be jumping too due to the camera angle.
The game has had updates but the response from the devs is poor, I asked one question regarding a changelog as the game was being updated but I had no idea what was being changed and to date I have had no reply to that request, this is my first and last game bought from this dev.
It's a shame as the game could be great with a few camera tweaks and a little more feedback from the devs but I refuse to support a game I cannot complete due to issues.… Expand
Aug 23, 2012Garshasp the monster slayer feels extremely dated and does not deliver what you come to expect from a fighting/adventure game. The visuals are outdated, the camera get annoying, the fighting feels shallow and unresponsive and the games has some bugs. Overall the game feels outdated and though it could have been good a couple of years ago it just doesnt feel up to todays standards. I would only recommend this title to those who really love the genre and are looking for something new to try out for a cheap buck.… Expand
May 11, 2011A long time player of Ubisoft games, it was immediately apparent not even minutes into the opening cutscene that this game is a blatant ripoff of Prince of Persia. (I've also played God of War, but saw no similarities with this game) Garshasp (the protagonist) looks EXACTLY like the Prince, and combat, movement, graphics - everything looks like Prince of Persia, allbeit with a different scale, lower quality graphics, and a poorer engine. The skybox was nonexistant, and the sound was bad both in quality and choice. It was painful to listen to.
Combat was absurdly easy and simplistic to the point of being boring, and the graphics just caused the game to be an eyesore. It straddles this awkward line of being more advanced than a 2d platformer, but so unpolished and simplistic that it became ugly. Aliasing was a HUGE issue, and movement felt clunky. There were several times I would be attacking an enemy as it approached, only to end up ON TOP of the enemy - LITERALLY standing on its head.
Understandably, it's from an Iranian indie studio, which carries its own set of connotations, however they could've really stood to do some further playtesting to iron out small (but annoying and longstanding) bugs and to improve game balance to provide something more challenging and fun to play. AND SOMETHING MORE ORIGINAL PLEASE.
It loses most of its points for me strictly for being an obvious ripoff of Ubisoft games that predate it, and loses the rest of the points for general lack of polish. This FEELS like it's from an indie studio, unlike other indie games that are very polished, beautiful, and fun to play. Instead of inventing their own "gimmicks" to draw players, they rely on ones created by other companies, which entirely ruins the game for me.… Expand
Jun 15, 2011Pesimo control (ir en linea recta o saltar es dificil), simple sistema de combate (repetitivo hasta la saciedad), problemas grabes con la camara (no la controlas y ella sola se ma moviendo), intento de hacer QTE (esta gente no ha jugado a 1 juego con QTE), ... Es el tipico juego que dudas de que los mismos desarrolladores se lo hayan pasado.… Expand

Emeril's Carnivale Weekend Celebration Brought Together Food, Wine, and Entertainment Celebrities In Support of Children's Causes
NEW ORLEANS (November 14, 2012) – At the Emeril Lagasse Foundation's 8th Annual Carnivale du Vin on Saturday, November 3, over 600 guests joined the country's premiere chefs, vintners, and musical entertainment at the New Orleans Convention Center for the Foundation's signature annual gala and wine auction. Emeril's Carnivale fundraising weekend was kicked off by the second annual Boudin & Beer, an indoor/outdoor food and music festival that celebrated all things Louisiana at the Foundry on Friday, November 2.
This year's Carnivale du Vin raised over $2.2 million to support the Emeril Lagasse Foundation's year-round efforts to transform the lives of children in New Orleans and the Gulf South. Now celebrating its tenth anniversary, the Foundation supports children's causes focusing on culinary arts, school food and nutrition, and arts and education programs. The Foundation's efforts have supported initiatives including the NOCCA Culinary Arts Studio, Emeril's Culinary Center at St. Michael Special School, Café Reconcile, and more.
"I'm blown away by the generosity and support of our friends across the country — thank you to all the chefs, winemakers, sponsors and donors who have helped to make Boudin & Beer and Carnivale du Vin incredibly successful," says Emeril Lagasse. "It's a great privilege to give back to the young people in our community, and we all had a great time coming together in support of some very meaningful programs."
Carnivale weekend was off to an exciting start on November 2 with the second annual Abita Beer Presents Emeril's Boudin and Beer sponsored by Buffalo Trace. Held at the Foundry, the charity bash was hosted by Emeril Lagasse and honorary co-chairs Mario Batali and Donald Link. At Boudin & Beer, 3,000 guests sampled boudin, each station with a creative culinary approach to this Louisiana staple offered by fifty of the country's hottest chefs, including the most generous New Orleans chef community that has supported the Emeril Foundation for years. Abita Beer pulled out all the stops featuring their entire product offering of specialty casks, firkins, and craft brews. As for music, Cajun, roots, rock, and country were all represented as guests enjoyed the talents of Drake White, Feufollet, and Red Stick Ramblers, with a special performance by the 610 Stompers.
The Emeril Lagasse Foundation was pleased to see their vision come to reality in every detail, as the small staff worked tirelessly to create a warm and festive atmosphere that would make this festival stand out among local benefits, with the help of many generous sponsors – from the Foundry to the JCPenny Tasting Pavilion to the Abita Beer garden and Rouses entertainment stage, with a Garden & Gun lounge and Buffalo Trace Bourbon Tent in between, the event left no spot on the parking lot outside the Foundry uninhabited. And finishing with a Nat Sherman cigar tent, scotch along with many other specialty bars from Republic, Sammy Hagar's new Beach Bar Rum, a Sucré gelato truck and Zac Brown Band's kitchen on wheels, "Cookie," this block came alive with energy. Thanks to emcees of the night Rita Benson LeBlanc and Mark Romig, the Emeril Lagasse Foundation, sponsors, guest chefs and co-hosts were acknowledged for helping create the best new festival in New Orleans.
The next evening, more than 600 guests attended the sold-out Carnivale du Vin gala and wine auction, with a "Speak Easy Bid Loud" roaring 20's theme. Flappers dancers, red roses and silver bichon linens accented the La Nouvelle ballroom. The event began with the Emeril's Bacchus Reception, featuring a special bottling of Pride Mountain Merlot from 2012 Honorary Bacchus Suzanne Pride Bryan, a seafood bar from new sponsor Louisiana Seafood, charcuterie and cheese selections by Michael Chiarello, glasses of Louis Roederer Brut Premier, and white wine from Presqu'ile Winery and Kosta Browne. Chef Emeril and Alden Lagasse toasted Bob Cabral of Williams Selyem in Sonoma, named the 2012 Event Honoree for his kindness and generosity as a devoted member of the "Krewe du Vin." Earlier this year, Cabral was honored by Wine Enthusiast as the "Winemaker of the Year."
Guests then enjoyed a spectacular five-course wine pairings dinner prepared by Mario Batali, Joseph Lenn, Tyler Florence, Marc Forgione, Michelle Gayer, Arista Winery, Caymus Vineyards, Roederer Estate, Crocker & Starr and Williams Selyem. The Krewe du Vin of these celebrity chefs were assisted by local students from NOCCA's culinary program, including NOCCA graduates Grace Treffinger and Janee Taylor who flew in from Chicago and Rhode Island to help.
Highlights from the menu included Batali's Handmade Orecchiette with Duck Ragu and Black Truffle Fonduta, Forgione's Veal Tenderloin, Boudin Noir, Pomme Puree, Honeycrisp Apples, and Mustard Gastrique finished with Gayer's Jarred Forelle Pears with Baked Alaska; Pear Infused Mascarpone Mousse with Pear Granité; and Forelle Pear Gallette, Semifreddo, and Torched Meringue paired, and Bissinger's delights for mignardises.
The Speak Easy Bid Loud live auction, led by Ursula Hermacinski showcased exquisite wines and unique travel experiences. Popular items included a trip to Blackberry Farm in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, featuring an extravagant long weekend of food and drinks with Chef Joseph Lenn, Chef Emeril Lagasse, and Jim Clendenen of Au Bon Climat Winery that sold for $100,000; and the 7th annual birthday weekend celebration in Cabo San Lucas with Emeril and Sammy Hagar, which with this year's $200,000 bid has raised a total of $1,050,000. The "Roaring 20s" evening would not have been complete without Preservation Hall Jazz Band featuring Cassandra Wilson, and the soulful sounds of Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue.

view bio »
This story is featured in today's TimesFreePress newscast.
Visitors to the Chattanooga Zoo walk past the main entrance. This week the zoo is closed due to a paperwork foulup.
The Chattanooga Zoo is closed at least until Friday.
Every year, the zoo must renew its Animal Welfare Act license. This year, officials did not submit the proper paperwork until June 28 -- three days after it was due.
As a result, a U.S. Department of Agriculture representative said Monday that it will not renew the license.
The zoo's mammal exhibits -- the chimpanzees, the snow leopards, the jaguars -- are now closed. The zoo has reapplied for a license, a spokeswoman said, but it cannot reopen until a USDA representative inspects the exhibits on Thursday.
It would be illegal for the zoo to operate the exhibits without approval from the USDA.
If all goes well, the zoo will open again Friday. In the meantime, the managers and animal care staff continue to work as if the zoo were open, CEO Darde Long said in a news release.
Scheduled birthday parties are continuing as planned, and so is zoo camp. This summer, about 500 children will spend a week at the zoo. Some of those children signed up for this week, and they won't see the mammals, at least until Friday.
Those campers still can go to the reptile and bird exhibits. The USDA does not regulate those animals.

What is it?
A faster version of the Caterham Supersport. While it's unlikely that you would step out of the 140bhp, 1.6-litre Sigma-engined Supersport thinking that it was underpowered, some punters have suggested that it would do well to beef up a bit and offer a few more revs to play with for track use.
So here we have the Supersport R – a car offering the same adjustable double wishbone suspension up front and De-Dion arrangement at the rear, but with a 180bhp 2.0-litre Duratec engine under the bonnet. Even spec is unchanged, which means a limited-slip diff, harness, composite sports seats, integrated shift lights and bespoke Supersport dampers as standard. Weight is only up by 15kg despite the bigger capacity motor, which translates to a figure of 336bhp per tonne.

Just a four hour flight from the United Kingdom, Morocco encapsulates the exoticism of far more distant lands. The towering Rif and Atlas Mountains proved historically to be an impenetrable barrier to successive invaders, thereby preserving the lifestyle and language of an indigenous Berber population who have added a richness and unique cultural depth to this Mediterranean country. Morocco holidays are a truly encapsulating way to discover this fantastic country.
Morocco is a mountainous and surprisingly green country of outstanding natural beauty, where the dazzling peaks of the Atlas, give way to the silent shifting sands of the Sahara desert, and the gently undulating hills of Eucalyptus and Argana trees succumb to long ribbons of golden sand on the Atlantic coast.
Few cities in the world enjoy such a dramatic setting and intoxicating atmosphere as Marrakech. The rose-pink walls of the ancient city sit low beneath the soaring peaks of the Atlas Mountains and the fronds of towering palm trees, jostle for position above the medieval ramparts where nesting storks colonise each vacant turret. One of Morocco's four Imperial Cities, Marrakech was founded in 1062 and is today still the commercial centre for the High Atlas and the Moroccan Sahara. City breaks to Marrakech are perhaps one of the more popular choices for a Moroccan holiday and it is easy to see why. An exciting and lively city, it boasts a vibrant medina listed as an UNESCO World Heritage site, vast souks considered by many to be the best in Morocco, numerous historic monuments, luxurious riads and tranquil, exotic gardens.
Marrakech has attracted visitors for centuries and Djemaa el Fna square is the focal point to which tribes and travellers have been drawn since ancient times. Each day, as the shadow of the elegant Koutoubia minaret lengthens towards the square, the carnival begins and an extraordinary collection of Berber musicians, snake-charmers, fortune tellers, fire eaters and dancers gather to entertain the ever shifting circles of mesmerised onlookers. A fascinating town and a wonderful choice for Morocco holidays, visitors can wander for hours during the day through the seemingly infinite souks and enjoy a refreshing mint tea, on the terrace of a pavement cafe whilst waiting for the colourful pageant to unfold.
A notable trait of Morocco holidays are the countries charismatic towns. Essaouira is a delightfully enigmatic coastal town popular with international travellers and city dwellers from Casablanca and Marrakech. Above the medieval battlements of its medina, the whitewashed, blue shuttered houses look out over an arc of perfect golden sand towards the Atlantic and the bustling harbour. Inside the city walls, the coastal breeze threads its way through a maze of streets and alleyways where art galleries, antique shops, smart boutiques, excellent seafood restaurants and serious surf shacks for the keen windsurfing fraternity, sit alongside market stalls, barbers and traditional workshops. For holidays to Morocco this is a wonderful choice of destination. The relaxing and enchanting atmosphere of Essaouira offers as easygoing holiday experience.
A popular choice and fantastic choice for beach-lovers on Morocco holidays in the premier beach resort of Agadir, is a modern, well planned resort with a wonderful year round climate and 10km of sandy beaches neighbouring the Atlantic Ocean. The original town of Agadir has been completely rebuilt after the devastating effects of an earthquake back in 1960 although there are still the ruins of a 16th century Kasbah standing guard over the modern port to the north of the town offering lovely views over the bay and along the coast.
Gardens and parkland separate the residential areas from the hotels which border tree lined promenades, boulevards and the beach, and there are numerous restaurants, cafes, bars and nightclubs, as well as a huge selection of shops, a small colourful souk and, 4km from the city centre and built as a reproduction of a traditional medina, the artisan Medina d'Agadir.
Active visitors can enjoy a wide variety of water sports including windsurfing and jet skiing, and just along the coast to the north of Agadir there is excellentsurfing and bodyboarding for all abilities at the laid back beach resort of Taghazout. There are four excellent golf courses nearby ranging from nine to 36 holes.
Holidays in Morocco are not fully experience without sampling the fantastic cuisine and the food of Morocco reflects the country's diverse cultural heritage. The Berber influence remains strong with many of the 'essential' Moroccan dishes such as couscous, tajine (tasty stews) and harira (hearty soups) being Berber in origin. The Bedouin Arabs introduced dates, milk, grain, bread and dried pasta. The Moors brought Andalusian foods to the feast - nuts, fruits, herbs and oil. Invading Arabs brought a wealth of spices from the East.
Essentially Moroccan cuisine is based around the staples of peppers, tomatoes, garlic, olives, eggs, onions, couscous, chicken, lamb, pigeon, fish and a wealth of spices, fruits, nuts and pastries both savoury and sweet.
Marrakech offers some great Moroccan dishes served in beautiful traditional restaurants. Essaouira has a number of restaurants whose appearance belies the quality of the food available - never judge a book by its cover! La Gazelle d'Or in Taroudant is renowned for the excellence of its cuisine whilst Agadir has a huge number and variety of restaurants with menus offering Italian, French, Mexican, Chinese, Thai and Lebanese.
The Last Sharifian Emperor of Morocco, Moulay Ismail (c.1627-c.1727), known as 'Ismail The Bloodthirsty,' is reputed to have fathered 548 sons and 340 daughters through a harem of no fewer than 500 women.

text: On August 4, 1993, at approximately 1530 central daylight time, an Aero Commander S2R, N5570X, sustained substantial damage near England, Arkansas, following a partial loss of engine power during the initial takeoff climb. The main gear separated from the airframe as the airplane groundlooped during the forced landing. The commercial pilot did not receive injuries. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the planned local aerial application flight.During interviews, conducted by the investigator in charge, the pilot stated that the hopper contained approximately 20 pounds of chemical fertilizer and the fuel tanks were approximately half full for the spraying run. He further reported that during the initial climb, with an RPM decrease of approximately 150, the airplane could not sustain flight. As the load was being dumped, the airplane landed hard approximately 100 feet beyond the departure end of the runway. The pilot exited the airplane and returned to the hangar. Company personnel went to the airplane and initiated a recovery. Approximately two hours after the accident, the airplane was consumed by fire.The pilot reported in an enclosed statement that there had been previous discrepancies regarding propeller RPM control. Maintenance personnel had not been able to determine the cause for the malfunction.On September 14, 1993, the engine was tested. The engine test run was conducted with the carburetor, engine governor, and propeller intact. During an approximate 15 minute test run, there were no RPM fluctuations or engine anomalies.The airplane was released to the owner's representative following the investigation.

Effect of Long-Term Vigorous Physical Activity on Healthy Adult Knee Cartilage
by TEICHTAHL, ANDREW J.; WLUKA, ANITA E.; WANG, YUANYUAN; FORBES, ANDREW; DAVIES-TUCK, MIRANDA L.; ENGLISH, DALLAS R.; GILES, GRAHAM G.; CICUTTINI, FLAVIA M.
Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise:
June 2012 – Volume 44 – Issue 6 – p 985–992
doi: 10.1249/MSS.0b013e318245c849
Clinical Sciences
Introduction: Whether participation in long-term vigorous physical activity affects knee cartilage is unclear and may depend on the state of knee health. We examined the association between vigorous physical activity during a decade and the subsequent changes in knee cartilage among healthy adults. We then examined whether this effect differed in those with and without bone marrow lesions (BMLs), as an indicator of preclinical joint damage.
Methods: A total of 297 healthy adults age 50–79 yr were recruited. Physical activity was assessed via questionnaire at baseline (1990–1994) and at follow-up (2003–2004), and a score for persistence of vigorous physical activity score was determined. Each subject underwent knee magnetic resonance imaging in 2003–2004 and in 2006–2007. Cartilage volume, defects, and BMLs were measured using validated methods.
Results: Persistent participation in vigorous physical activity was associated with worsening of medial knee cartilage defects (odds ratio (OR) = 1.5, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.0–2.3). In the subgroup with BMLs, but not in those without BML, persistent vigorous physical activity was associated with a significant worsening of medial knee cartilage defects (OR = 3.4, 95% CI = 1.0–16.5) and a trend toward an increased rate of loss of medial knee cartilage volume (21.6 mm3·yr−1, 95% CI = −0.4 to 43.6).
Conclusions: In knees with BMLs, persistent participation in vigorous physical activity was associated with adverse cartilage changes in the medial compartment. This suggests that the long-term effects of vigorous physical activity may depend on the preexisting health of the joint.
Comments: I like the idea of this study but I would love to see if we made corretions to improper biomechanics using Movement evaluations using dartfish, FMS, or NASM evlautations and see if that limited the damage done to the knee's. I suspect that if would make a dramatic difference because I believe that its not the activity but the biomechanics that makes the difference.

The world's biggest meat packer has formally exercised its option to buy two U.S. beef packing plants from beleaguered Alberta beef company XL Foods.
JBS USA, the U.S. arm of Brazilian meat giant JBS S.A., confirmed Thursday it will complete its deal to buy XL's beef plant at Omaha, Nebraska, plus a mothballed beef plant at Nampa, Idaho which for now will remain closed.
JBS has held an exclusive option on those XL assets and others since Oct. 17 last year as part of a "management services" agreement to run the Edmonton company's recall-battered Brooks, Alta. beef plant.
JBS had already exercised part of its option on Jan. 14 this year when it formally took over the Brooks plant and XL's idled beef packing plant at Calgary, plus the company's 70,000-head capacity feedlot and 6,600 acres of "adjacent farmland" near Brooks.
The option, which will now be completed effective Monday (April 8), valued the total Canadian and U.S. assets to be sold to JBS at US$100 million, to be paid half in cash and half in JBS shares.
The Omaha plant has capacity to process 1,100 head of cattle per day, as does XL's Four Star Beef plant at Nampa, just west of Boise, JBS said.
XL shut down the Nampa plant indefinitely in June 2011 and JBS said Thursday it has "no immediate plans to reopen the facility."
JBS had been waiting for clearance from U.S. federal antitrust watchdogs before exercising the remainder of its option with XL, which had continued to manage and operate the Omaha plant in the meantime.
"We are excited to welcome Omaha into the JBS family and look forward to continuing its legacy of excellent customer service and superior quality products," JBS USA president Bill Rupp said in the company's release Thursday.
No other XL assets -- such as its mothballed beef plant at Moose Jaw, Sask. -- were included in JBS' option. Also, JBS reiterated Thursday, "under no scenario" will it assume any of XL Foods' debt or liabilities.
Sao Paulo-based JBS became one of the biggest meat companies in the U.S. when it bought Swift in 2007, Smithfield Beef in 2008 and Pilgrim's Pride in 2009. It also owns 12 U.S. feedlots.
JBS took its first step into Canada to manage the Brooks plant after the Canadian Food Inspection Agency yanked the facility's federal operating license in September last year.
That suspension followed a massive beef recall upon findings of E. coli O157:H7 bacteria in samples from the plant -- plus 18 confirmed cases of illness across Canada, involving the exact strain found in the XL beef.
The Brooks plant's license was reinstated Oct. 29 under JBS management.
JBS' deal also does not remove XL's parent, Edmonton-based Nilsson Bros., from the beef business. The Nilssons continue to own cow-calf ranches, auction markets, feeder buying services, livestock commodity trading and financing operations and a farm and ranch insurance business.

These days, the Good Charlotte frontman and the former wild child are better known for their charitable endeavors than outrageous exploits. Through their Richie-Madden Children's Foundation, the couple raised $10,000 for a playground for an L.A. children's shelter. "The charity stuff is emotional – every kid becomes your child," Madden, who is the proud dad to 1-year-old Harlow, told PEOPLE. "Every little baby deserves to be held and fawned over."

There are two types of ice hockey bags when it comes to toting your gear. You need an equipment bag for your skates, pads and other gear. Then you need an ice hockey stick bag for your ice hockey sticks and accessories.
Ice hockey bags for equipment are available in a regular duffle bag style as well as the same type of duffle bag style with wheels. There are also ice hockey backpacks that can carry your skates as well as other gear you can fit in them. These bags also have wheels for convenience. All of these equipment bags are excellent for carrying everything you need to play hockey. Rolling bags and backpacks are especially good for youth players who can't quite carry all of their ice hockey gear by themselves.
Ice hockey stick bags are vital for protecting your sticks and they make it convenient to haul more than once stick around with you. Many players have multiple sticks, and you never know when one might break and you have to have a back-up stick. Even youth players need more than one stick, and many go through three to ten sticks a season. If you have several sticks, then you might want to invest in a bag that has wheels. These are convenient for traveling by air and on ground. You can roll all your gear together and not break your back in the process.
When you're looking for equipment bags, you will want to check out HockeyMonkey.com. They have a huge variety of quality ice hockey bags, whether you are looking for a single "stick sack" or if you are looking for a rolling stick bag. You can find a number of different equipment and gym style bags as well.

Driver fitting: Hitting the long ball
Most everyone wants to drive the ball farther and down the middle, and the key to that is matching the right configuration of head and shaft regardless of your ability.
When fitting for your driver, we are looking for specific launch conditions that are repeatable.
We first start with your driver as a baseline and monitor your ball flight as well as your swing speed, tempo, club delivery, and were the club is released.Once this is achieved our fitters would then put together several different combinations.
These are all player dependent and many key factors must be considered:
- Head shape, loft, volume, and lie angle
- Shaft flex, weight, torque, and bend profile
- Length of the club and swing weight
- Grip type and size
Any one of these factors can produce drastic changes in your ball flight. Remember don't just assume because you have a certain swing speed that you just need a driver that is regular, or stiff in flex.
Make it a point to be properly fit and you will reap the benefits.

According to Hollywood, gentlemen prefer blondes. But what about blondies?
This Father's Day, why not find out? We've dreamed up a white chocolate-studded blondie treat with a duo of tastes that's easy to love — rich coffee and crunchy cashews. We brought it all together in a sweet, rich bar that, thanks to a generous helping of brown sugar, stays moist and chewy with just a hint of crunch on the outside.
Want to take it even further? Sprinkle the top with flaked sea salt just before popping it in the oven. And if Dad doesn't like cashews, peanuts, almonds or walnuts would be good, too. Or maybe you want to add a bit of each.

"Vernacular Literary Theory"
The French of England: Vernacular Literary Theory and Practices of Medieval England, 1130-1450
(in progress)
Edited by Jocelyn Wogan-Browne, Thelma Fenster, and Delbert Russell (with contributions from postgraduate and post-doctoral students Henry Bainton, Katharine Bilous, Maija Birenbaum, Donna Bussell, Catherine Hume, Rebecca June, Brenna Mead, Jaclyn Rajsic, Joshua Smith, John Spence, Karl Steel, Karen Trimnell) and with an Appendix of Middle English translations of French prologues, transcribed and prepared by Catherine Hume.
This book is designed for scholars and students of medieval English literature and history and for those working with continental French. Several valuable surveys and accounts exist of the French literature of England, and more are to come:
but reading about the French texts of England is not the same as seeing, hearing, and studying them directly. The current volume, because it features both original texts and translations, as well as a great deal of explanatory material/commentary, seeks to guide readers into the field while also serving as one mapping, among others, of the
de richesses
offered by studies in the French of England. To that end, the volume comprises over 60 prologues or other excerpts in which medieval texts represent their origins, strategies and purposes: each is newly edited from a single manuscript and accompanied by a headnote, facing-page translation, bibliographical information and a glossary of the terms we deem 'literary'.
We follow the lead of
Anglo-Norman Literature: A Guide to Texts and Manuscripts
by Ruth J. Dean with Maureen B. M. Boulton (1999) in seeing the culture of the French of England as permeable with that of the continent. Although the bulk of our book is concerned with texts composed in England, several entries exemplify the cross-Channel circulations of books and texts: the
History of the Holy Grail
(Excerpt 56), for instance, is included here not only for its extraordinary prologue creating the Lancelot-Grail cycle as a 'secular scripture', but because at least 19 manuscript copies of this continental text were made or owned in late medieval England. So too, the verse commentary on Psalm 44 for the Countess of Champagne (
, Excerpt 48b), has an early manuscript witness in England, while the anonymous Nun of Barking's
Life of Edward the Confessor
(Excerpts 1, 51) exemplifies a text not only copied on the Continent, but also re-worked into a prose
there (Russell 2009). The
Débat des Hérauts
(Excerpt 60) represents something of late medieval debate over originary and literary traditions in insular and continental cultures.
Another permeable boundary is that between texts currently categorized as either literary or documentary. Although it is impossible adequately to represent the French of England in administration, record, and profession in the present volume, we again follow Dean's lead in including scientific treatises (medical, lapidary), and treatises on letter-writing and language learning. We add an instance of less formal monastic house history not included in Dean's great book, in the shape of a partly versified trilingual register on the founders of a Norfolk nunnery (
Coment la Mesun de
Crabhouse commencerunt
, Excerpt 45). Although visual representation of the manuscript culture within which these many kinds of texts are produced is necessarily restricted, we include a small selection of texts that discuss image and text relations, or where text and image interact on the manuscript page (Excerpts 25a-e).
To emphasize the crucial interrelatedness of French and English in multilingual medieval insular culture we include an Appendix of Middle English reworkings of French prologues, and list overlaps between texts reworked in both languages.
Excerpts in the volume are continuously numbered, but divided into five thematic sub-sections illustrating various aspects of textual production and reception:
Part One:
Faus franceis
dreit engleis
: On Language
Part Two:
Si sa dame ne li aidast
: Authorship and the Patron
Part Three:
Primes dirrum la dreyte fey
: The Conduct of Reading and Hearing
Part Four:
Ki veult oir
: Forming Audiences and Creating Textual
Part Five:
Si come en latyn trovay escrit
: The Lineage of the Text
This arrangement emphasizes the book's function as a compendium of vernacular literary medieval exegesis—what, for lack of a better term, we call medieval literary theory. At the same time, the volume demonstrates the richness of the French of England textual corpus.
Within each entry, the job of the introductory Headnote is not only to provide necessary information (Author, Date, Provenance, Sources and Nature of Text, Manuscript Source, and Bibliography) but to seduce and provoke. In each case, a mise au point and selective brief comments indicate something of each text's interest and significance and show the (often considerable) need for further work and exploration. We hope to persuade readers to embark on further exploration of the texts and to mappings and boundary crossings of their own.
Exploring this literature with our graduate students has been a very great pleasure: we include a number of excerpts edited and introduced by postgraduates and postdoctoral researchers, and given a final edit for inclusion by ourselves. Many of these began as French of England postgraduate course projects.
Apart from Dominica Legge's pioneering
Anglo-Norman in the Cloisters
(1950) and
Anglo-Norman Literature
(1963), there is an excellent study of
The French Tradition and the Literature of Medieval England
by W. W. Calin (1994) and a valuable chapter by Susan Crane on Anglo-Norman Cultures in the 1999
Cambridge History of Medieval English Literature
, ed. David Wallace.
Language and Culture in Medieval Britain: The French of England 1100-1500
(2009), ed. J. Wogan-Browne et al, uses detailed studies, in the form of individual essays, to suggest the full contours of the field. The promised second volume of the Oxford History by Laura Ashe will include attention to Anglo-Norman texts, especially in the twelfth-thirteenth centuries.

- zukes z fillets Review by nicole
Your Rating Product Zukes Z-Filets Select Slices of Premium Meat Beef 2.6lbs (12x3.25oz)
My dogs love these beef fillets and demand one every morning for breakfast. They appear to have healthy ingredients and are made in the USA. I have been feeding them to my dogs every morning for years, the only reason I haven't given them 5 stars is that seem to have altered the recipe recently, and the fillets smell a little different. My dogs still eat them, but are not as crazy about them as they once were. But overall, still a nice treat for dogs. (Posted on 1/14/14)
