Revenge Review: Being Frankby Christine Orlando at . Comments
"Intrigue" was a game-changer with so many twists and turns that, in the end, I almost didn't realize Emily Thorne hadn't taken down a new victim.
First... Lydia's alive?!? When she fell off that balcony, things took a turn Emily didn't see coming. The revelation that she's in a coma, similarly, was a surprise I didn't foresee. So the cab broke her fall? Ouch! But it's such a great complication for down the road. What will happen when Lydia wakes up? How much will remember?
Is Tyler completely off his rocker? We all knew Tyler wasn't quite right, but after this episode I believe we can safely call that an understatement. Emily pegged what we all suspected, that Tyler didn't have the money he claimed, yet somehow the slippery little weasel continued to get away with his farce.
Ummm, did Tyler make a move on Daniel when he put him to bed or did I misread that? For a moment it certainly appeared that he wanted to be more than just Daniel's best friend and when Daniel rejected him... that's when things got scary. Just how twisted is Tyler? I assume we haven't seen the last of his craziness, although I'm still trying to figure out his end game. Overall? I simply can't wait to see Emily take him down.
Jack made his move. I was a little surprised Jack put it all out there the way he did, especially with Emily dating Daniel. But I suppose he felt if he didn't make his move now it might be too late. Unfortunately, Emily's game includes bedding Daniel and she's determined to ignore her heart and follow her plan.
His honest plea to her was heartbreaking to watch. Who hasn't put themselves out there only to get crushed? It's a moment you wish you could forget but never do and it brought Emily to tears.
Nolan bailed. Frank scared the crap out of Nolan, which sent the mogul running to Emily to tell her he's out. I was so disappointed. Nolan was so ballsy when Frank was threatening him. Who else could make double rainbow jokes while being roughed up by a possible murderer?
Of course, the big problem here was that now Frank knows there's a connection back to Emily and he won't stop digging until he finds it.
On other fronts: how much of an idiot was Conrad? Frank has been his fixer for years. He knows all of the Grayson's secrets. Together they framed a man for a terrorist plot and watched him die in prison but I guess knowing the man would murder your mistress because he lusts after your wife was a little too much for Conrad. (What a great sentence, huh? I love Revenge!)
Still, it's a huge risk to turn on him. Conrad should have been smart enough to keep his enemies close because firing Frank will definitely come back to bite him.
Over at the Stowaway, Declan did a lot of stupid things and one smart one. Being honest with Charlotte probably got him closer to her than any fancy dinner ever could.
Back to Emily, I had one question: Why keep the picture that links her to her past? I thought she should have burned it. Of course, if anyone finds that box, her game is over, with or without the photo. I hope she's got that thing locked up.
So will Frank figure out her plot for revenge and use it to get back into Victoria's good graces? Did Emily's lack of a successful victim this week disappoint? Or was there enough intrigue to keep you wanting more?

This show is really good, it's really well scripted. Don't you guys remember that in the very first episode Jack kills Daniel (on his engagement night), most likely due to Emily's request? So at one point Emily will tell Jack everything, that's what I'm thinking. I can't get enough of this show. Great actors too.
Any number of copies of the old party photo may exist.Burning one in her own control doesn't mean someone else has any less chance of tracing her through another copy.
Oh it's a cover : It's Anyone's ghost by the National The one who is doing the cover I don't know..
What is a music of the end of episode? I freak out for know!
This episode : Daniel = spoiled brat Jack = I love you Nolan : Is going to get killed if he continues... Frank : oh oh
I think Tyler is the one killed, remember that he kept Daniel's phone away to mess with Emily's plans. He could repeat that again before the engagement party, because, let's face it: He is obsessed with Daniel in a creepy way. So, as far as we have seen, Emily is capable of arrange a way to get rid of him once and for all. At this point, all we can do is to enjoy every moment. BTW I also find a little dump that Nolan did not hack the cameras before getting inside Lydia's apt.
Haha! I thought the same thing about Tyler. I get that he has no money and is conning the Graysons, but why was he trying to break up Emily and Daniel. In this episode, it does appear that Tyler has a little bit of a crush on Daniel himself. I myself, don't see Jack lasting that much longer. He won't be one to methodically plan revenge on Emily. I expect him to try to destroy her right away and meeting an unhappy ending. I do hope Tyler gets his soon too. And I can't wait to see what happens in the upcoming episodes to make Jack shoot Daniel. Maybe @ Tiffany will be right. Still loving this show.
AnEye4An_I wrote "I'm suprised NYs finest didn't check the surveillance footage to see if anyone entered the apartment..." I thought the same thing at first but the media reported Lydia's fall as an attempted suicide, so if the police concluded that's what it was, they wouldn't view it as a crime and wouldn't pursue the building's surveillance video. Having said that, concluding it was a suicide attempt was sloppy police work - they should have investigated every possibility. Nolan wouldn't have been in much trouble though since he has the footage of Frank attacking Lydia and it's obvious that she went over the balcony railing during that attack. Not to mention, if Frank threatens Nolan, Nolan can threaten him with the videotape so - can you say stalemate?
Love this show! have to say, I don't know why Emily didn't just turn over the video of Lydia's struggle with Frank to the police. Seems like a plot device to keep Frank in the mix. Surely sending him to prison for attempted murder is better than having the Graysons pay him big bucks and let him retire in comfort. Or maybe she knew that causing a rift between him and the Graysons would wreak more havoc than simply having Frank go to jail. Dumb of Nolan not to think of Lydia's building's security cameras, even though he didn't expect this to be a hot crime scene, he is a tech geek, he could have hacked them so they wouldn't tape him breaking into her apartment. And SUPER dumb of him to go directly to Emily at the Graysons' 4th of July bash after Frank attacked him, because he fingered Emily to Frank. Stupid yes, but believable. He was rattled. But he could have left the room and called her on his cell phone and Frank would not have known they were connected. I actually don't see any chemistry between Jack and Emily, otherwise I would have been more moved by his confession to her. Sweet though. And Tyler? Obviously Emily has done her research on him, she implied as much at dinner and also in their brief exchange at the party which was interrupted by Nolan. I think it's pretty obvious Tyler is gay and he's in love with Daniel, also he has no money and is sponging off the Graysons for the summer. It's amazing that he keeps getting away with his web of lies, everybody but Emily is falling for them. Daniel will probably be fired by Jack for being drunk on the job his first day...even though he was drugged. Daniel seems like a dumb tool, being manipulated by Tyler. I suspect Daniel isn't the one murdered... we'll find out in Episode 13 apparently. Just because Victoria yells "Daniel" and they see a man's body on the beach doesn't mean it's Daniel. Maybe it's Tyler. One can only hope.
I have to say I actually quite liked it and am glad we now know that Tyler is not at all what he seems but that was a given....kind of stunned with the Jack declaration thought that would unfold a bit slower and not sure why Tyler drugged him as it seemed he was heading a different way and I do not mean any moves on him I just think he wants him around to be a cash cow to party with....
Lydia being alive is interesting and I knew that Nolan was not going to be able to hold out but he insists on inserting himself.....I am going to guess that Frank will not back off and in the end someone will take him out one way or another....I am also glad there were bumps in the road as it really would not be very realistic if she pulled off everything perfectly it is never a perfect world after all and it would lose some of it's soapiness.... She counted on Lydia not reading anything plus she had no idea the camera was in the dolphin Lydia picked it up when she was visiting and I guess Emily thought it was hers.....a fluke is all that was

It's not easy being a Gleek. At least, it wasn't earlier this season. Aside from the sudden and tragic death of star Cory Monteith, and the subsequent sudden and tragic death of his character Finn Hudson, the Fox musical comedy (Tuesdays, 8/7c, Fox) felt a bit, well, off-key in the first part of Season 5. The story lines started to feel either predictable or haphazard, the music was bland and most of the theme episodes like The Beatles two-part tribute or "Previously Unaired Christmas," lacked a real purpose or message.

Tony Hawk And Rodney Mullen Skate Into Smithsonian Collections
WASHINGTON, June 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The skateboarding collection at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History will more than double in size during a special ceremony June 22 in which Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen and other leading skateboarding figures will donate artifacts from their careers. The donation ceremony kicks off "Innoskate," an event presented by the Smithsonian's Lemelson Center with the International Association of Skateboard Companies.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130622/CL36626-a )(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130622/CL36626-b )
"Innoskate" will take place on and around a skate ramp installed on the museum's plaza, facing the National Mall and with the Washington Monument as a backdrop. Discussions and skateboarding demonstrations will explore innovations in skateboarding and equipment technology, such as wheels and trucks; the influence of skate clothing and footwear on mainstream fashion and culture; and the continuous innovation in tricks, both in the street and on ramps. Skaters and industry representatives will discuss how innovation will shape the future of skateboarding and pro and invited skaters will take to the ramp to show off their tricks. For a schedule of events, visit http://innoskate2013.tumblr.com.
Hawk will donate his first skateboard, given to him by his brother, Steve, in 1977. A 1975 Bahne skateboard used by Steve before he gave it to his brother, the fiberglass deck is set up with Chicago roller-skate trucks that were attached to steel base plates for use on skateboards. Steve modified the board with 3/8-inch plywood "risers" to raise the deck further from the trucks and provide greater clearance for the urethane Stoker loose-ball-bearing wheels. This first board joins a 1986 Tony Hawk pro model Powell-Peralta deck ridden in competition by Hawk in the mid-1980s and acquired by the museum in 2011.Other objects that will be donated during "Innoskate" include the board Mullen rode at the Smithsonian during a 2012 interview on creativity and innovation in skateboarding; Patti McGee's Hobie Super Surfer board from 1965; skate apparel worn by Cindy Whitehead in competition and a prototype of and original artwork for her latest pro-model board; the skateboard Jack Smith used to ride across the country in 1976; Bruce Logan, Robin Logan and Laura Thornhill Logan Earth Ski pro-model skateboards (1976-1977); a set of master keys to Skatepark of Tampa, a significant cultural and physical hub for skateboarders, from 1994; a skate deck and apparel used by Mimi Knoop during X Games appearances; and Schmitt Stix, rails that allowed boards to better slide on coping, invented by Paul Schmitt. Downhill skateboarding is represented by donations of a Fly Away skate helmet worn by Judi Oyama in the 1980s and the board and helmet used by George Orton when he set the world speed record on a skateboard in 1996. Archival materials being donated include a complete set of the "National Skateboard Review," a chronicle of skate activity in the late 1970s run by Di Dootson; early editions of TransWorld SKATEboarding magazine; and newspaper articles. "Skateboarding is surrounded by a culture of inventive creativity and imagination," said Jeffrey Brodie, deputy director of the Lemelson Center and Innoskate coordinator. "Skateboarders are similar to inventors in viewing the world from a unique perspective -- what it has the potential to be. Innoskate is a deep look into an American invention that has become a global phenomenon." The International Association of Skateboard Companies is the member-owned not-for-profit trade association of skateboarding. IASC's goals are to promote skateboarding, increase participation, educate and save their members money. For more information, visit http://theiasc.org. The Lemelson Center has led the study of invention and innovation at the Smithsonian since 1995. The center's activities advance scholarship on the history of invention, share stories about inventors and their work and nurture creativity in young people. The center is supported by The Lemelson Foundation and located in the National Museum of American History. For more information, visit http://invention.smithsonian.org. The National Museum of American History is currently renovating its west exhibition wing, developing galleries on business, democracy and culture. For more information, visit http://americanhistory.si.edu. The museum is located at 14th Street and Constitution Avenue N.W., and is open daily in the summer from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. (exceptions apply). Admission is free.

Time Out says
Posted: Mon Feb 22 2010
RECOMMENDED: 50 best New York attractions
We won't argue if you want to call this glimmering pinnacle of Art Deco architecture NYC's most eye-popping skyscraper. Triangle-shaped windows in its crown are lined with lights, creating a beautiful effect come nighttime. Oozing a moneyed sophistication oft identified with old New York, the structure pays homage to its namesake with giant eagles (replicas of ones added to Chrysler automobiles in the 1920s) in lieu of traditional gargoyles and a brickwork relief sculpture of racing cars, complete with chrome hubcaps. During the famed three-way race to construct Manhattan's tallest building, the Chrysler added a needle-sharp stainless-steel spire to best 40 Wall Street—but was outdone shortly after its completion in 1930 by the Empire State Building.

i do immediate family member cakes for free. if they are requesting an over the top design/fondant cake etc. i still won't charge, but i consider this my gift to that person in place of a normal gift. i also let my family know that a cake like this takes time and if it affects my paying customers orders, then i will have to simplify the cake a bit to accomdate that schedule. however, if they are ordering it for a work event or basically any event that you or other family isn;t going to, then charge.
haha, its kind of along the lines of just because aunt joan owns a restaurant and she happens to make an awesome turkey, doesn't mean she should charge the family member who called her to say shes in charge of the turkey for thanksgiving dinner that year:)
i've struggled with the same dillemas, its never easy.

Hey, it's family, so when you are in business for yourself, you are GOING to have these issues. Decide what you want and let your family know. I like the idea of "if I offer it's free, if you ask, you pay", BUT with my passive aggressive mom (and it sounds like yours is like mine), I would be "in trouble" with her if I then didn't OFFER to make every cake for every person in the family.
I had this with my sister's wedding. I agreed to make the cake, then my mom insisted that sister have a tasting (she's had my cake, good grief), insisted that she needed 5 fondant tiers and cascading sugar flowers, insisted she have a custom bridal shower cake, and then my sister added to it by ordering a custom groom's cake last minute so "she could be nice to the groom and give him something wonderful too." Yeah, so thoughtful when you don't have to pay for it. Then, they were upset that I didn't buy a wedding gift. Yup, pretty much.
My point? You aren't the only one with screwed up special family members... chin up and stay firm for us all!

When my dd got married, I made - and paid for - her dress, the bridesmaids' dresses, the groomsmen's vests and bowties, the flower baskets everybody carried and all the boutonnieres. But according to the groom's parents, we didn't "give" them anything for a wedding gift. Really???
Families are the worst to deal with.

Hi! Well aerobic exercise,
, avoiding saturated fats and taking mono-unsaturated fats helps raise HDL levels.

The purported "hit man" in an alleged plot to kill the wife of a wealthy Toronto businessman admitted on Monday that he previously testified it was "crazy" to believe a murder plan existed.
Kerry Bob Anderson was confronted with his contradictory statements as the cross-examination of the star witness at the trial of Alexander Petraitis and Sandra Rinella began on Monday in Ontario Superior Court.
At the preliminary hearing of the defendants in 2005, Mr. Anderson stated that he found it "funny" that two people were on trial for conspiracy to commit murder, when they did not want to kill anyone.
"I'll agree I said that at the time," answered Mr. Anderson, when cross-examined by Joseph Neuberger, who represents Ms. Rinella.
"Do you think this is all funny?" pressed Mr. Neuberger.
"I know it is a serious case. That is not how I feel today," said the witness, in an attempt to explain his evidence.
The contradictions prompted Superior Court Justice Rob Clark to provide a complex explanation of the use of testimony from preliminary hearings. The explanation led to puzzled looks on the faces of some jurors.
Mr. Anderson testified last week that he believed there was a murder plot.
He was first approached in August 2003 by Ms. Rinella, his former common-law partner, who was a dominatrix and counted Mr. Petraitis as one of her clients.
The witness stated that they wanted him to kill Kirsten Petraitis, who had been married for nearly 40 years to the multi-millionaire businessman (they have since divorced).
Mr. Anderson received nearly $100,000 and testified that he intended to ask for $1-million. But he stressed that he never planned to kill Ms. Petraitis.
To protect his own interests, Mr. Anderson surreptitiously taped some of his meetings with the defendants.
Mr. Petraitis and Ms. Rinella appeared to have just finished a dominatrix session on one occasion, said Mr. Anderson, when he met them at her Scarborough apartment. Mr. Petraitis was dressed in what looked like a "diaper" or the bottom part of a sumo wrestler's outfit, the witness noted.
The recording of that meeting was played yesterday and the defendants appear to be talking about a murder plot in their discussions with Mr. Anderson.
"You know, you got to kind of tie me up and throw me in a closet," Mr. Petraitis is heard on the recording, about a plan to make it look like a home invasion and abduction.
The cross-examination resumes on Tuesday.

There has been a lot of hype for getting a Subject material Manager in purchase to perform basic modifying of internet sites. The most basic Subject material Management System allows a consumer to handle web site text and photographs. Dependent on the type of Subject material Manager utilised, a consumer may perform basic and innovative operate on their web site.
There are virtually hundreds of pre-developed Subject material Management Programs, some much more well-liked than other folks. In most situations, set-up and integration of a CMS is a daunting activity greatest performed by someone with internet improvement expertise.
Most CMS are considered "Open Source" platforms which means that they share the resource code or framework freely with the programming local community. The open platform and large choice of third-party computer software add-ons make it quick and reasonably priced to add new internet site performance these as discussion boards, auctions, weblogs, ecommerce, picture galleries and so on.
Well-known named CMS's include WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, Dot Net Nuke, Google Blogger, and Silver CMS.
There are also brand name or market particular Subject material Management Programs. Several firms have developed very low price genuine estate web site template solutions for genuine estate agents and brokers to include Genuine Professional Agent Programs, Superior Accessibility Genuine Estate Programs, and Households.com.
Having spent years in web site improvement, I have worked with all these different tools and have recognized the very good and poor inside them. This information will aid you determine if you require a Subject material Management System, and what functionally you may require.
CMS web site programs are not completely fool proof
CMS's are not constantly straightforward to use. I nevertheless have clientele who can't figure out how to insert an image in their Google Weblog. Except if you use these tools each and every day, there will constantly be some level of aggravation or studying curb to negotiate. I have clientele with CMS's who hire us to preserve their internet sites simply because they simply do not have the time and do not want to be bothered.
CMS internet sites expertise exhibit errors
This transpires when end users attempt to perform operate in their CMS web site running an older browser these as IE six.2 or a beta version of IE seven.. They may also have a BHO (Browser Helper Objects) or other processes running in their browser blocking particular scripts, displays or capabilities. Other factors for errors include anti-virus's or other security software running in their browser, pc or wireless router.
CMS security concerns
A CMS is a computer software software. And as computer software programs go, they need updates the exact same as any other computer software software. If you fail to update your computer software, you could be susceptible to hackers or denial of service attacks. Be certain you have servicing options in spot to maintain your Subject material Management System up to date.
Web-primarily based CMS versus local CMS
Web-primarily based CMS allows a consumer to login by way of their internet browser (Web Explorer, Fire Fox, Chrome or Safari) to handle their web site. Local CMS allows a consumer to handle their web site utilizing computer software put in on a pc these as Adobe Contribute, Dream weaver or Microsoft Web Expressions. Adobe Contribute is the much more cheap, well-liked computer software with end users getting no expertise or expertise with HTML.
Pros and cons for internet-primarily based CMS versus local CMS's
The Pros:
- Fees are reduced for including further performance these as a forum or auction module. Fees for different modules arrayfrom $150 to $2,600 dependent on the type of CMS you have and the type of module you require.
The Cons:
- Web-primarily based CMS programs need computer software updates to be performed by people getting internet improvement expertise with your distinct Subject material Management System.

Missing in Action
The families of the men were convinced the photo was authentic, but Pentagon officials had doubts. They noted the men looked unusually well nourished for having been in captivity for two decades; the sign they were holding appeared to have been pasted into the photo; and the source of the photo was dubious. It had been faxed to the Pentagon by a man of Cambodian descent living in Los Angeles who, in turn, said he had received it from a former prison guard living in Phnom Penh. $2 million was being demanded to help arrange the return of the fliers.
The Pentagon sent a team to Thailand to investigate. They eventually discovered the true source of the photo. It was a doctored version of a 1923 photograph (bottom) of three Soviet farmers which had been published in the December 1989 issue of a Khmer-language magazine called Soviet Union. The con artists had cropped the original image, added moustaches to the men, and pasted in the sign.

What can I do if an online predator is contacting my child?
If you become aware that someone who you think is suspicious is contacting your child, it is important to save all correspondence between the individual and your child. These can include emails, attachments, website addresses and chat logs. You should alert the local police and give them these files. It is important that the authorities are made aware of any potential predators in your area as it could help with current investigations and stop any future abuse of children.

On December 1, 2005, Anatol Lieven, Senior Research Fellow at The New America Foundation, and Aleksander Smolar, Senior Research Fellow at CNRS in Paris and President of the Stefan Batory Foundation in Warsaw, debated The Future of Europe. Both agreed that the European Union was in crisis and that the dream of political union is at an end. As Smolar put it, "There is no European "We the People" and there will not be one a long time from now." Both, however, remained committed to the European idea, with Smolar citing the importance of the European Union in promoting democracy and human rights in states aspiring to membership, and Lieven worrying that its failure would imperil Europe's democratic model and example.

I learned something new while poring over the AspectJ source code, but it wasn't what I was expecting to learn.
Background: AspectJ is a framework for "weaving" Java class files with additional functionality written in what are called aspect files. Classes can be woven as part of the compilation process (source weaving), after compilation (binary weaving), or even as late as when the class is being loaded by the JVM (load-time weaving). You can do some really cool stuff with AspectJ, including: adding fields or methods to existing classes (your own, or in a third-party library), intercepting method calls, replacing constructor calls with subclass constructor calls, and more. A full discussion of what's possible is well beyond the scope of this post, so if you're curious, check out the AspectJ Programming Guide and AspectJ 5 Developer's Notebook to get the complete picture.
But enough about that. Back to my story.
I initially the AspectJ source code because I was curious about the Agent passed on the command line that handles the load-time weaving (LTW) of class files — the code behind the
-javaagent:path/to/aspectjweaver.jar that you add to your app startup script. I found the relevant files located at
org.aspectj.weaver.loadtime.{Agent, ClassPreProcessorAgentAdapter} after a little bit of digging, but after finding them I discovered that there wasn't a lot there. However,
ClassPreProcessorAgentAdapter creates an instance of a
ClassPreProcessor —
Aj.java — which is where things start to get interesting.
The purpose of
Aj, as I understand it, is to maintain a mapping of
ClassLoader => AspectJ weaver for each
ClassLoader in use, and delegate the weaving of any classes loaded by that
ClassLoader to its associated weaver. A
ClassLoader, though, is just like any other class in that under the right circumstances it becomes eligible for garbage collection (GC). If we just naively throw
ClassLoaders into a
HashMap as keys, the
HashMap's reference to the
ClassLoader will keep it from being GCed, and result in a memory leak over time. Wouldn't it be convenient if we had a way to know when an object had been GCed and should be removed from the map?
It turns out Java does provide a mechanism to be notified when an object has been collected:
The internet is full of literature on
WeakReferences and their cousins
SoftReference and
PhantomReference. There's a particularly good discussion of WeakReference vs. SoftReference on stackoverflow.
PhantomReferences are stranger, and not particularly relevant to this post.
WeakReferences have the property that their pointer to an object won't prevent it from being garbage collected. That is, if at any time the only references to an object are through
WeakReferences, that object is eligible to be reclaimed by the collector. By itself, this doesn't help us, but
Soft-, and
PhantomReferences also have a constructor that takes in a ReferenceQueue. When the object the
Reference points to is collected, the
*Reference will be placed on the queue. This gives us all the tools we need to implement a mapping where the keys can be collected, and when they're collected their associated values can be removed from the queue.
The implementation used by
Aj (roughly):
- Keep an instance of a reference queue around —
- Subclass
WeakReferenceto wrap a
ClassLoaderand provide implementations of
equals()that make the object suitable for use as a key in a
Map, and also work properly even if the referenced
ClassLoaderhas been garbage collected.
- Any time a class is being loaded, loop through the items currently in the
adaptorQueue(synchronizing for thread safety), and remove any entries from the map where the
ClassLoaderhas already been collected:
- In other classes, take care to ensure that any references to the
ClassLoaderfrom the map value are also
WeakReferencesor similar so that we don't end up in a situation where code elsewhere is causing the memory leak.
Those who have some experience with
WeakReferences might be wondering why AspectJ doesn't just use WeakHashMap, which basically provides all of the functionality above for free and has been around since JDK 1.2. I was certainly curious so I did some digging, and I found that the initial implementation of
Aj.java was implemented with a
WeakHashMap. It was removed and replaced with the current implementation in early 2008 as part of a larger set of fixes for memory leaks (relevant: bug #210470; commit #255c5aa). The same commit changed the backing map from a
WeakHashMap to a synchronized
HashMap, which makes me wonder if there was a thread-safety issue or synchronization bottleneck addressed by that commit as well. The current implementation also gives clients of AspectJ code the ability to force a flush of GCed entries from the map, which
WeakHashMap does not provide. Sadly, I spent all my time writing this blog post instead of posting the question to the AspectJ mailing list, so we may never find out the answer for sure.
Takeaway: not only can
WeakReferences be used to keep a reference to an object without preventing it from being garbage collected, but you can also receive a notification in the form of an entry in a
ReferenceQueue when the reference object has been collected. This notifications allows you to perform any cleanup you might need to do.

Reading an announcement made today from the U.S. Department of Transportation on expanding the role of the Federal Transit Administration in ensuring public rail and bus safety, I chuckled at a veiled reference, likely unintended, to the 1987 cult movie classic starring Steve Martin and John Candy.
Or maybe Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood was indeed feeling nolstalgic with the holidays around the corner.
Those who've seen "Planes, Trains and Automobiles," written and directed by the late, great Chicago son John Huston, will recall the memorable "Those aren't pillows!" scene. Candy's and Martin's characters, Del Griffith and Neal Page, share a motel room and an uncomfortable moment as they stumble and bumble their way home from business trips to spend Thanksgiving with their families in Chicago. (If you've never seen it, I highly recommend you purchase or rent the movie and watch it next week after your turkey dinner and before the triptophan fully kicks in.)
Coming full circle, LaHood, who was born about 180 miles southwest of Chicago in Peoria, Ill., also the home to Caterpillar, uttered the phrase "planes, trains and automobiles" in a statement on including the mass transit industry in the conversation of making public transportation safer and more secure for passengers nationwide. In his words:
"Safety is our number one priority when it comes to planes, trains, and automobiles. And it only makes sense that we should be looking out for passengers who ride subways and light rail and municipal buses, too."
The conversation is indicative of federal efforts to also expand transit to ease traffic congestion and the nation's dependence on foreign oil. It makes sense, as LaHood says, that safety efforts must also grow.
What it all means is that Congress will receive a proposal, likely by next month, that would require states to pass safety certification programs, train employees on them and demonstrate that they are financially independenct and have the authority to force safety compliance from the transit agencies they oversee. Meanwhile, the school transportation industry is awaiting a TSA terrorism threat assessment for school buses, and there is the FirstObserver program available to school bus drivers nationwide as means of reporting suspicious activity they witness on the road to law enforcement for investigation. While both remain works in progress, Bill Arrington, GM of TSA's Office of Highway and Motorcarrier, told attendees earlier this month at the NAPT conference in Louisville, Ky., that he hopes to have the final report to Congress before the end of the year.
We know the report has been completed for some time now, but it's fallen victim to the beaurocratic red tape of executive review at different levels of Homeland Security, plus the fact that Congress has been tied up with the debate on health care reform. Once Congress does receive the threat assessment, the industry is urged to use it as its blueprint for lobbying the feds for security funding. Arrington also said the industry can expect three school bus security exercises in 2010, one of which will likely be held in California. They would likely be part of TSA's ISTEP training program, considered a critical element in TSA's transportation security initiatives to ensure that transportation security responsibilities are met. Two school bus exercises were held earlier this summer, one in Columbus, Ohio, and the other in Greensboro, N.C., during the annual NSTA convention.
If funding -- full, partial or otherwise -- is ever realized for school bus security, much of it would likely enhance this I-STEP training exercises, with is a requirement of the 911 Implementation Act specifically motor carriers, mass transit, and freight rail. The transit side and it's big lobby stick appears to already have laid the inroads for receiving these funds. With many still skeptical that, truly, any significant money will trickle down to school bus, how might school transporters be able to get a taste?
Perhaps it's naive to think that any such partnership is possible, but, as the American Public Transportation Association says, one-third of all transit riders are primary or secondary students. There's a definite overlap in providing school transportation, and, in reality, schools should and are already partnering with local transit authorities to coordinate such services. The obvious challenge is the strained relationship between transit and private school bus operators. But, to a certain extent, both are customers of the school districts, so the school districts themselves have a strong voice that should be used -- heard -- to evolve the conversation of federal mass transit, and school bus, security efforts.

Killer table, killer price.
Dave Gibson
Member since
I've used this table quite a few times on car camping trips and I'm very pleased. It packs small (bag included) and sets up fast. The really nice detail is it's all aluminum, so you can cook on it, unlike vinyl roll-up tables, and it cleans up good as new. For the price it's comparable to tables twice the price. You know you want one!

Sorry I have not posted anything in a while. I have been very busy lately, more than usual. The reason being is because my wife and I are expecting baby. We have been shopping for baby stuff and getting the house ready. I am very excited about our new addition to the family. Baby stuff is very expensive, and it seems more so that we are basically getting everything in a short amount of time. We still took our time looking for the best deals and using coupons. This helped us save a lot of money. If anyone has any money saving tips related to babies I would appreciate any ideas.

A New Arrival

Best tip - buy used stuff where you can. Yard sales, etc. Borrow/take from friends and family - they will have tons of stuff they need. Get a bunch of receiving blankets, they are useful for everything.
Good luck and congratulations!
