It's good to understand the need for object/relational mapping (ORM) in Java applications, but you're probably eager to see Hibernate in action. We'll start by showing you a simple example that demonstrates some of its power.
As you're probably aware, it's traditional for a programming book to start with a "Hello World" example. In this chapter, we follow that tradition by introducing Hibernate with a relatively simple "Hello World" program. However, simply printing a message to a console window won't be enough to really demonstrate Hibernate. Instead, our program will store newly created objects in the database, update them, and perform queries to retrieve them from the database.
In addition to the canonical "Hello World" example, we introduce the core Hibernate APIs and give details for a basic configuration.
"Hello World" with Hibernate
Hibernate applications define persistent classes that are "mapped" to database tables. Our "Hello World" example consists of one class and one mapping file. Let's see what a simple persistent class looks like, how the mapping is specified, and some of the things we can do with instances of the persistent class using Hibernate.
The objective of our sample application is to store messages in a database and to retrieve them for display. The application has a simple persistent class, Message
, which represents these printable messages. Our Message
class is shown in Listing 1.
Listing 1. Message.java: A simple persistent class
package hello; public class Message { private Long id; private String text; private Message nextMessage; private Message() {} public Message(String text) { this.text = text; } public Long getId() { return id; } private void setId(Long id) { this.id = id; } public String getText() { return text; } public void setText(String text) { this.text = text; } public Message getNextMessage() { return nextMessage; } public void setNextMessage(Message nextMessage) { this.nextMessage = nextMessage; } }
Our Message
class has three attributes: the identifier attribute, the text of the message, and a reference to another Message
. The identifier attribute allows the application to access the database identity—the primary key value—of a persistent object. If two instances of Message
have the same identifier value, they represent the same row in the database. We've chosen Long
for the type of our identifier attribute, but this isn't a requirement. Hibernate allows virtually anything for the identifier type, as you'll see later.
You may have noticed that all attributes of the Message
class have JavaBean-style property accessor methods. The class also has a constructor with no parameters. The persistent classes we use in our examples will almost always look something like this.
Instances of the Message
class may be managed (made persistent) by Hibernate, but they don't have to be. Since the Message
object doesn't implement any Hibernate-specific classes or interfaces, we can use it like any other Java class:
Message message = new Message("Hello World"); System.out.println( message.getText() );
This code fragment does exactly what we've come to expect from "Hello World" applications: It prints "Hello World"
to the console. It might look like we're trying to be cute here; in fact, we're demonstrating an important feature that distinguishes Hibernate from some other persistence solutions, such as EJB (Enterprise JavaBean) entity beans. Our persistent class can be used in any execution context—no special container is needed. Of course, you came here to see Hibernate itself, so let's save a new Message
to the database:
Session session = getSessionFactory().openSession(); Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction(); Message message = new Message("Hello World"); session.save(message); tx.commit(); session.close();
This code calls the Hibernate Session
and Transaction
interfaces. (We'll get to that getSessionFactory()
call soon.) It results in the execution of something similar to the following SQL:
insert into MESSAGES (MESSAGE_ID, MESSAGE_TEXT, NEXT_MESSAGE_ID) values (1, 'Hello World', null)
Hold on—the MESSAGE_ID
column is being initialized to a strange value. We didn't set the id
property of message
anywhere, so we would expect it to be null
, right? Actually, the id
property is special: It's an identifier property—it holds a generated unique value. (We'll discuss how the value is generated later.) The value is assigned to the Message
instance by Hibernate when save()
is called.
For this example, we assume that the MESSAGES
table already exists. Of course, we want our "Hello World" program to print the message to the console. Now that we have a message in the database, we're ready to demonstrate this. The next example retrieves all messages from the database, in alphabetical order, and prints them:
Session newSession = getSessionFactory().openSession(); Transaction newTransaction = newSession.beginTransaction(); List messages = newSession.find("from Message as m order by m.text asc"); System.out.println( messages.size() + " message(s) found:" ); for ( Iterator iter = messages.iterator(); iter.hasNext(); ) { Message message = (Message) iter.next(); System.out.println( message.getText() ); } newTransaction.commit(); newSession.close();
The literal string "from Message as m order by m.text asc"
is a Hibernate query, expressed in Hibernate's own object-oriented Hibernate Query Language (HQL). This query is internally translated into the following SQL when find()
is called:
select m.MESSAGE_ID, m.MESSAGE_TEXT, m.NEXT_MESSAGE_ID from MESSAGES m order by m.MESSAGE_TEXT asc
The code fragment prints:
1 message(s) found: Hello World
If you've never used an ORM tool like Hibernate before, you were probably expecting to see the SQL statements somewhere in the code or metadata. They aren't there. All SQL is generated at runtime (actually at startup, for all reusable SQL statements).
To allow this magic to occur, Hibernate needs more information about how the Message
class should be made persistent. This information is usually provided in an XML mapping document. The mapping document defines, among other things, how properties of the Message
class map to columns of the MESSAGES
table. Let's look at the mapping document in Listing 2.
Listing 2. A simple Hibernate XML mapping
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE hibernate-mapping PUBLIC "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Mapping DTD//EN" "http://hibernate.sourceforge.net/hibernate-mapping-2.0.dtd"> <hibernate-mapping> <class name="hello.Message" table="MESSAGES"> <id name="id" column="MESSAGE_ID"> <generator class="increment"/> </id> <property name="text" column="MESSAGE_TEXT"/> <many-to-one name="nextMessage" cascade="all" column="NEXT_MESSAGE_ID"/> </class> </hibernate-mapping>
The mapping document tells Hibernate that the Message
class is to be persisted to the MESSAGES
table, that the identifier property maps to a column named MESSAGE_ID
, that the text property maps to a column named MESSAGE_TEXT
, and that the property named nextMessage
is an association with many-to-one multiplicity that maps to a column named NEXT_MESSAGE_ID
. (Don't worry about the other details for now.)
As you can see, the XML document isn't difficult to understand. You can easily write and maintain it by hand. Whichever method you choose, Hibernate has enough information to completely generate all the SQL statements that would be needed to insert, update, delete, and retrieve instances of the Message
class. You no longer need to write these SQL statements by hand.
Note |
Many Java developers have complained of the "metadata hell" that accompanies J2EE development. Some have suggested a movement away from XML metadata back to plain Java code. Although we applaud this suggestion for some problems, ORM represents a case where text-based metadata really is necessary. Hibernate has sensible defaults that minimize typing and a mature document type definition that can be used for auto-completion or validation in editors. You can even automatically generate metadata with various tools. |
Now, let's change our first message and, while we're at it, create a new message associated with the first, as shown in Listing 3.
Listing 3. Updating a message
Session session = getSessionFactory().openSession(); Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction(); // 1 is the generated id of the first message Message message = (Message) session.load( Message.class, new Long(1) ); message.setText("Greetings Earthling"); Message nextMessage = new Message("Take me to your leader (please)"); message.setNextMessage( nextMessage ); tx.commit(); session.close();
This code calls three SQL statements inside the same transaction:
select m.MESSAGE_ID, m.MESSAGE_TEXT, m.NEXT_MESSAGE_ID from MESSAGES m where m.MESSAGE_ID = 1 insert into MESSAGES (MESSAGE_ID, MESSAGE_TEXT, NEXT_MESSAGE_ID) values (2, 'Take me to your leader (please)', null) update MESSAGES set MESSAGE_TEXT = 'Greetings Earthling', NEXT_MESSAGE_ID = 2 where MESSAGE_ID = 1
Notice how Hibernate detected the modification to the text
and nextMessage
properties of the first message and automatically updated the database. We've taken advantage of a Hibernate feature called automatic dirty checking: this feature saves us the effort of explicitly asking Hibernate to update the database when we modify the state of an object inside a transaction. Similarly, you can see that the new message was made persistent when a reference was created from the first message. This feature is called cascading save: it saves us the effort of explicitly making the new object persistent by calling save()
, as long as it's reachable by an already persistent instance. Also notice that the ordering of the SQL statements isn't the same as the order in which we set property values. Hibernate uses a sophisticated algorithm to determine an efficient ordering that avoids database foreign key constraint violations but is still sufficiently predictable to the user. This feature is called transactional write-behind.
If we run "Hello World" again, it prints:
2 message(s) found: Greetings Earthling Take me to your leader (please)
This is as far as we'll take the "Hello World" application. Now that we finally have some code under our belt, we'll take a step back and present an overview of Hibernate's main APIs.
Understanding the architecture
The programming interfaces are the first thing you have to learn about Hibernate in order to use it in the persistence layer of your application. A major objective of API design is to keep the interfaces between software components as narrow as possible. In practice, however, ORM APIs aren't especially small. Don't worry, though; you don't have to understand all the Hibernate interfaces at once. The figure below illustrates the roles of the most important Hibernate interfaces in the business and persistence layers.
We show the business layer above the persistence layer, since the business layer acts as a client of the persistence layer in a traditionally layered application. Note that some simple applications might not cleanly separate business logic from persistence logic; that's okay—it merely simplifies the diagram.
The Hibernate interfaces shown in the figure above may be approximately classified as follows:
- Interfaces called by applications to perform basic CRUD (create/read/update/delete) and querying operations. These interfaces are the main point of dependency of application business/control logic on Hibernate. They include
, andQuery
. - Interfaces called by application infrastructure code to configure Hibernate, most importantly, the
class. - Callback interfaces that allow the application to react to events occurring inside Hibernate, such as
, andValidatable
. - Interfaces that allow extension of Hibernate's powerful mapping functionality, such as
, andIdentifierGenerator
. These interfaces are implemented by application infrastructure code (if necessary).
Hibernate makes use of existing Java APIs, including JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), Java Transaction API (JTA), and Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI). JDBC provides a rudimentary level of abstraction of functionality common to relational databases, allowing almost any database with a JDBC driver to be supported by Hibernate. JNDI and JTA allow Hibernate to be integrated with J2EE application servers.
In this section, we don't cover the detailed semantics of Hibernate API methods, just the role of each of the primary interfaces. You can find most of these interfaces in the package net.sf.hibernate
. Let's take a brief look at each interface in turn.
The core interfaces
The five core interfaces are used in just about every Hibernate application. Using these interfaces, you can store and retrieve persistent objects and control transactions.
Session interface
The Session
interface is the primary interface used by Hibernate applications. An instance of Session
is lightweight and is inexpensive to create and destroy. This is important because your application will need to create and destroy sessions all the time, perhaps on every request. Hibernate sessions are not thread-safe and should by design be used by only one thread at a time.
The Hibernate notion of a session is something between connection and transaction. It may be easier to think of a session as a cache or collection of loaded objects relating to a single unit of work. Hibernate can detect changes to the objects in this unit of work. We sometimes call the Session
a persistence manager because it's also the interface for persistence-related operations such as storing and retrieving objects. Note that a Hibernate session has nothing to do with the Web-tier HttpSession
. When we use the word session, we mean the Hibernate session. We sometimes use user session to refer to the HttpSession
SessionFactory interface
The application obtains Session
instances from a SessionFactory
. Compared to the Session
interface, this object is much less exciting.
The SessionFactory
is certainly not lightweight! It's intended to be shared among many application threads. There is typically a single SessionFactory
for the whole application—created during application initialization, for example. However, if your application accesses multiple databases using Hibernate, you'll need a SessionFactory
for each database.
The SessionFactory
caches generate SQL statements and other mapping metadata that Hibernate uses at runtime. It also holds cached data that has been read in one unit of work and may be reused in a future unit of work (only if class and collection mappings specify that this second-level cache is desirable).
Configuration interface
The Configuration
object is used to configure and bootstrap Hibernate. The application uses a Configuration
instance to specify the location of mapping documents and Hibernate-specific properties and then create the SessionFactory
Even though the Configuration
interface plays a relatively small part in the total scope of a Hibernate application, it's the first object you'll meet when you begin using Hibernate.
Transaction interface
The Transaction
interface is an optional API. Hibernate applications may choose not to use this interface, instead managing transactions in their own infrastructure code. A Transaction
abstracts application code from the underlying transaction implementation—which might be a JDBC transaction, a JTA UserTransaction
, or even a Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) transaction—allowing the application to control transaction boundaries via a consistent API. This helps to keep Hibernate applications portable between different kinds of execution environments and containers.
Query and Criteria interfaces
The Query
interface allows you to perform queries against the database and control how the query is executed. Queries are written in HQL or in the native SQL dialect of your database. A Query
instance is used to bind query parameters, limit the number of results returned by the query, and finally to execute the query.
The Criteria
interface is very similar; it allows you to create and execute object-oriented criteria queries.
To help make application code less verbose, Hibernate provides some shortcut methods on the Session
interface that let you invoke a query in one line of code. We won't use these shortcuts; instead, we'll always use the Query
A Query
instance is lightweight and can't be used outside the Session
that created it.
Callback interfaces
Callback interfaces allow the application to receive a notification when something interesting happens to an object—for example, when an object is loaded, saved, or deleted. Hibernate applications don't need to implement these callbacks, but they're useful for implementing certain kinds of generic functionality, such as creating audit records.
The Lifecycle
and Validatable
interfaces allow a persistent object to react to events relating to its own persistence lifecycle. The persistence lifecycle is encompassed by an object's CRUD operations. The Hibernate team was heavily influenced by other ORM solutions that have similar callback interfaces. Later, they realized that having the persistent classes implement Hibernate-specific interfaces probably isn't a good idea, because doing so pollutes our persistent classes with nonportable code. Since these approaches are no longer favored, we don't discuss them.
The Interceptor
interface was introduced to allow the application to process callbacks without forcing the persistent classes to implement Hibernate-specific APIs. Implementations of the Interceptor
interface are passed to the persistent instances as parameters.
A fundamental and very powerful element of the architecture is Hibernate's notion of a Type
. A Hibernate Type
object maps a Java type to a database column type (actually, the type may span multiple columns). All persistent properties of persistent classes, including associations, have a corresponding Hibernate type. This design makes Hibernate extremely flexible and extensible.
There is a rich range of built-in types, covering all Java primitives and many JDK classes, including types for java.util.Currency
, java.util.Calendar
, byte[]
, and java.io.Serializable
Even better, Hibernate supports user-defined custom types. The interfaces UserType
and CompositeUserType
are provided to allow you to add your own types. You can use this feature to allow commonly used application classes such as Address
, Name
, or MonetaryAmount
to be handled conveniently and elegantly. Custom types are considered a central feature of Hibernate, and you're encouraged to put them to new and creative uses!
Extension interfaces
Much of the functionality that Hibernate provides is configurable, allowing you to choose between certain built-in strategies. When the built-in strategies are insufficient, Hibernate will usually let you plug in your own custom implementation by implementing an interface. Extension points include:
- Primary key generation (
interface) - SQL dialect support (
abstract class) - Caching strategies (
interfaces) - JDBC connection management (
interface) - Transaction management (
, andTransactionManagerLookup
interfaces) - ORM strategies (
interface hierarchy) - Property access strategies (
interface) - Proxy creation (
Hibernate ships with at least one implementation of each of the listed interfaces, so you don't usually need to start from scratch if you wish to extend the built-in functionality.
By now, you can see that before we can start writing any code that uses Hibernate, we must answer this question: How do we get a Session
to work with?
Basic configuration
We've looked at an example application and examined Hibernate's core interfaces. To use Hibernate in an application, you need to know how to configure it. Hibernate can be configured to run in almost any Java application and development environment. Generally, Hibernate is used in two- and three-tiered client-server applications, with Hibernate deployed only on the server. The client application is usually a Web browser, but Swing and SWT (Simple Widget Toolkit) client applications aren't uncommon. Although we concentrate on multitiered Web applications, our explanations apply equally to other architectures, such as command line applications. It's important to understand the difference in configuring Hibernate for managed and nonmanaged environments:
- Managed environment—Pools resources such as database connections and allows transaction boundaries and security to be specified declaratively (that is, in metadata). A J2EE application server such as JBoss, BEA WebLogic, or IBM WebSphere implements the standard (J2EE-specific) managed environment for Java.
- Nonmanaged environment—Provides basic concurrency management via thread pooling. A servlet container like Jetty or Tomcat provides a nonmanaged server environment for Java Web applications. A standalone desktop or command line application is also considered nonmanaged. Nonmanaged environments don't provide automatic transaction or resource management or security infrastructure. The application itself manages database connections and demarcates transaction boundaries.
Hibernate attempts to abstract the environment in which it's deployed. In the case of a nonmanaged environment, Hibernate handles transactions and JDBC connections (or delegates to application code that handles these concerns).
In managed environments, Hibernate integrates with container-managed transactions and datasources. Hibernate can be configured for deployment in both environments. In both managed and nonmanaged environments, the first thing you must do is start Hibernate. In practice, doing so is very easy: You have to create a SessionFactory
from a Configuration
Creating a SessionFactory
In order to create a SessionFactory
, you first create a single instance of Configuration
during application initialization and use it to set the location of the mapping files. Once configured, the Configuration
instance is used to create the SessionFactory
. After the SessionFactory
is created, you can discard the Configuration
The following code starts Hibernate:
Configuration cfg = new Configuration(); cfg.addResource("hello/Message.hbm.xml"); cfg.setProperties( System.getProperties() ); SessionFactory sessions = cfg.buildSessionFactory();
The location of the mapping file, Message.hbm.xml
, is relative to the root of the application classpath. For example, if the classpath is the current directory, the Message.hbm.xml
file must be in the hello
directory. XML mapping files must be placed in the classpath. In this example, we also use the system properties of the virtual machine to set all other configuration options (which might have been set before by application code or as startup options).
Method chaining |
Method chaining is a programming style supported by many Hibernate interfaces. This style is more popular in Smalltalk than in Java and is considered by some people to be less readable and more difficult to debug than the more accepted Java style. However, it's very convenient in most cases. Most Java developers declare setter or adder methods to be of type void, meaning they return no value. In Smalltalk, which has no void type, setter or adder methods usually return the receiving object. This would allow us to rewrite the previous code example as follows: SessionFactory sessions = new Configuration() .addResource("hello/Message.hbm.xml") .setProperties( System.getProperties() ) .buildSessionFactory(); Notice that we didn't need to declare a local variable for the |
By convention, Hibernate XML mapping files are named with the .hbm.xml
extension. Another convention is to have one mapping file per class, rather than have all your mappings listed in one file (which is possible but considered bad style). Our "Hello World" example had only one persistent class, but let's assume we have multiple persistent classes, with an XML mapping file for each. Where should we put these mapping files?
The Hibernate documentation recommends that the mapping file for each persistent class be placed in the same directory as that class. For instance, the mapping file for the Message
class would be placed in the hello
directory in a file named Message.hbm.xml
. If we had another persistent class, it would be defined in its own mapping file. We suggest that you follow this practice. The monolithic metadata files encouraged by some frameworks, such as the struts-config.xml
found in Struts, are a major contributor to "metadata hell." You load multiple mapping files by calling addResource()
as often as you have to. Alternatively, if you follow the convention just described, you can use the method addClass()
, passing a persistent class as the parameter:
SessionFactory sessions = new Configuration() .addClass(org.hibernate.auction.model.Item.class) .addClass(org.hibernate.auction.model.Category.class) .addClass(org.hibernate.auction.model.Bid.class) .setProperties( System.getProperties() ) .buildSessionFactory();
The addClass()
method assumes that the name of the mapping file ends with the .hbm.xml
extension and is deployed along with the mapped class file.
We've demonstrated the creation of a single SessionFactory
, which is all that most applications need. If another SessionFactory
is needed—if there are multiple databases, for example—you repeat the process. Each SessionFactory
is then available for one database and ready to produce Session
s to work with that particular database and a set of class mappings.
Of course, there is more to configuring Hibernate than just pointing to mapping documents. You also need to specify how database connections are to be obtained, along with various other settings that affect the behavior of Hibernate at runtime. The multitude of configuration properties may appear overwhelming (a complete list appears in the Hibernate documentation), but don't worry; most define reasonable default values, and only a handful are commonly required.
To specify configuration options, you may use any of the following techniques:
- Pass an instance of
- Set system properties using
java -Dproperty=value
- Place a file called
in the classpath - Include
elements inhibernate.cfg.xml
in the classpath
The first and second options are rarely used except for quick testing and prototypes, but most applications need a fixed configuration file. Both the hibernate.properties
and the hibernate.cfg.xml
files provide the same function: to configure Hibernate. Which file you choose to use depends on your syntax preference. It's even possible to mix both options and have different settings for development and deployment
A rarely used alternative option is to allow the application to provide a JDBC Connection
when it opens a Hibernate Session
from the SessionFactory
(for example, by calling sessions.openSession(myConnection)
). Using this option means that you don't have to specify any database connection properties. We don't recommend this approach for new applications that can be configured to use the environment's database connection infrastructure (for example, a JDBC connection pool or an application server datasource).

To produce the sort of golf I did today was very pleasing," McIlroy told the official European Tour website."That was one of the goals going out today, to win this tournament to keep myself in with a shout next week. "That is very dependent on what Luke does because he has got such a big lead -- if I can somehow get myself into contention next week, you never know. "McIlroy started the final round three shots behind overnight leader Alvaro Quiros, who faded to a three-over-par 73.Birdies on the second and ninth took him to the turn at nine-under-par overall and into a share of the lead.Another birdie at the 12th saw him hit the front followed by a birdie two at the par three 15th.But playing partner Havret was also making up ground fast and McIlroy had a slender one-shot lead as the played the 18th.Havret found sand off his tee shot and was forced to lay up short of the green with his second shot, but McIlroy also ended in a greenside bunker with his approach.After Havret had pitched to 20-feet from the flag, McIlroy conjured up his final piece of magic by holing his bunker shot to round out victory on 12-under 268."When the ball went in, I think that's the most excited I've ever been on a golf course. It was just incredible to see the ball drop and realise that I had finally won this tournament," said McIlroy.Swede Peter Hanson finished third on nine-under while defending champion Ian Poulter charged through the field on the final day to card a 66 and finish in a tie for fourth at eight-under alongside Scot Richie Ramsay and Thailand's Pariya Junhasavasdikul.More from golfLegend Jack Nicklaus launches ice cream rangeDavis Love III named U.S. Ryder Cup captain Darren Clarke named Europe's Ryder Cup captain for 2016 battlePowered by Livefyre

Barclays press ads apologise for Libor scandal
By Alex Brownsell, marketingmagazine.co.uk, Monday, 16 July 2012 10:56AM
Crisis-hit Barclays has returned to advertising with a campaign apologising for the inter-bank interest-rate-fixing scandal, which caused the departure of chief executive Bob Diamond.
The bank, which was fined £290m for trying to fix inter-bank lending rate Libor, last week pulled all ads amid a review of its marketing strategy in the wake of the crisis.
This weekend it rolled out a one-off print ad in the form of a letter from group chairman Marcus Agius, stating that Barclays was "truly sorry" for those who had been "let down" by the bank's actions.
Agius, who is also to step down as a result of the scandal, promises that staff "will not allow [themselves] to be distracted from what really matters – delivering for you, day in, day out".
He adds: "My colleagues work tirelessly to do just that. The Board and I thank them for their commitment and for their determination to ensure customers and clients are at the heart of everything we do. I also thank you for your business. It is our responsibility to earn the right to retain it."
The letter will be posted on Barclays' Facebook and Twitter pages, and sent out to customers by mail. It will also be available for consumers to pick up in bank branches.
A Barclays spokesman said its regular advertising plans remain under review. The bank has previously stated it aims to be "returning to a business-as-usual approach soon".
Barclays last week revealed a £120m, three-season deal to extend its sponsorship of the Premier League.

The Fanconi anaemia (FA) nuclear complex (composed of the FA proteins A, C, G and F) is essential for protection against chromosome breakage. It activates the downstream protein FANCD2 by monoubiquitylation; this then forges an association with the BRCA1 protein at sites of DNA damage. Here we show that the recently identified FANCE protein is part of this nuclear complex, binding both FANCC and FANCD2. Indeed, FANCE is required for the nuclear accumulation of FANCC and provides a critical bridge between the FA complex and FANCD2. Disease-associated FANCC mutants do not bind to FANCE, cannot accumulate in the nucleus and are unable to prevent chromosome breakage.

Martial Arts, Culture, and Society
In this upper level undergraduate course for which there are no prerequisites, we will consider how sociology, and other social sciences, can help us understand martial arts and how martial arts might inform the social sciences. We shall consider how various bodymindful martial practices, their organizations, and their cultures shape, and are shaped by, different structures of power at various levels of society. We concentrate on martial arts because they straddle such an important axial dimension of society around violence. First priority to Sociology Concentrators. Enrollment limited to 20.- Term

T.S.T.C. Students Turkey Bowl for Toys for Tots
Texas State Technical College students are bowling to raise money for charity, but instead of using a bowling ball, they are throwing frozen turkeys down the lane.
It's called Turkey Bowling and it is becoming a tradition at the college this time of year and instead of using regular pins they used soda bottles. A strike will get you a chance at winning a free turkey for Thanksgiving with students paying .25 cents a ticket to bowl. Those involved say this Holiday sport grows every year and all the proceeds go to the school's Toys for Tots program. Student government is hoping to raise more than $100 dollars which will allow them to buy at least 10 toys.

Recent Orange County Reviews
Great location, ammeneties, very clean and well stocked!
we stayed here for almost a week, we loved it and would defiantly stay here again! The home has everything you might want/need. It was clean, even under the bends where you might normally find dust bunnies especially since there's no carpet, but nope it was clean as a whistle! There were plenty of towels, bedding and pillows! The beds were comfortable and the bathrooms clean no dirty corners or mildew accumulating in the showers! I might be a little fanatical so I assure you this review is a good representation of my stay. The pool and hot tub were awesome! The assortment of strollers was great, we washed the cover on one of them as it was pretty dingy but I do this with my personal strollers too. This is a rental home so there were some things that might need some attention like the light bulb in the fridge is out and one of the drawers is a little broken and it doesn't open well. Also the dishwasher either doesn't work well (it's well worn inside the soap dispenser door doesn't close) and the dishes seemed to have a residue on them that didn't want to come off. They were clean however the film prompted me to rewash the dishes when we arrived to ensure they were sanitary. There were plenty of dishes for all 9 of us so really I appreciate again how well stocked this home is and really accommodated us very well! The dish towels were new and clean no stains which is hard with kitchens! There were games, toys, movies and books, all sorts of entertainment! The walk to Disney was as described about 15 minute to the park or 5 minutes to the nearest shuttle stop. Propane fore the barbecue is not provided, it's not really clear based on reviews basically if there's some there you can use it otherwise you have to purchase it, not a big deal though. The hidden gem in the back yard, a line tree that hangs over from the neighbor, you might get a fresh lime or two drop in the yard and they're amazing! Over 5 stars in all categories, a nice he and I don't feel the need to stay anywhere else on our next trip! Thank you Julie and crew, job well done!
Business / Vacation Trip
The house was very well situated close to the convention center and Disney.
The house itself was large enough for 5 adults to move around comfortably. Everything you need is provided, pool and hot spa area was excellent. the House is very well maintained and in a good neighborhood, excellent value.
Home Away From Home
My son-in-law and I were looking for hotel rooms for eight of us to stay in for a week, when he was told about Vacation Rentals By Owner (VRBO). We found this house online, and decided to go with the house over booking two hotel rooms. It was one of the better decisions we made on the whole trip. The house is about a 15 – 20 minute walk to Disneyland, and was definitely a home away from home.
It was so nice to come back to "our own place" at the end of the day. We could cook our own meals, and have our own space. On a couple of days, we came home mid-day for a rest before going back to Disneyland for some evening activities. The hot tub was a great way to relax after walking all day.
The house was clean, and the owners very accommodating, even to the point of stopping by and putting the groceries, that we had ordered on line, into the fridge before we arrived as we were going to be arriving late. On arrival, she was onsite, welcomed us and showed us around and explained everything to us. The kids loved the Mickey/Minnie themed bunk beds in the kids' room and really enjoyed their own space as well.
I would highly recommend this accommodation to anybody who is able to walk the short distance to Disneyland.

Mobile apps to fast-track transport
PUBLISHED: 24 Oct 2013 00:32:00 | UPDATED: 24 Oct 2013 05:30:52PUBLISHED: 24 Oct 2013 PRINT EDITION: 24 Oct 2013Industry leaders say technology will make transport more efficient through mobile applications that show the fastest routes, to aircraft management systems that save fuel and make landing safer.
Transurban chief executive Scott Charlton said technology would change transport and freight in the next 10 years. Ttechnology enabled the company to change the price of tollroads in the US every three minutes based on density, while intelligent transport and freeway systems in Australia were making roads safer.
"We try to work seamlessly with RMS or Victoria Roads or other partners so a lot of that technology is shared. We certainly are a part of that with RMS and Victoria Roads. You will see a huge change in the next decade in how technology in transport works, to the point where you can look at a mobile application that says this is the most efficient way to get to work by this bus, by this train or by this car. "Intelligence around cars talking to the roads, and cars talking to cars will come pretty quickly," he said.
Sydney Airport chairman Max Moore-Wilton said technology in aviation was a "massive game changer", and forecasts in 2002 that showed Sydney Airport would reach capacity by 2013 were wrong because advances were not taken into account.
Qantas Airways chief executive Alan Joyce said technology would improve productivity but a second Sydney airport was critical. Qantas's investment in new aircraft meant its fleet would be the youngest it had been for two decades. "Satellite navigation will allow us to be a lot more efficient with landing and operating at airports and will save fuel.Air traffic management systems of the future need to be able to utilise that technology fully and we will maximise the use of Sydney Airport," he said.
"It's not just getting Qantas new planes, or Air Services running new systems for air traffic control. The airlines put on better and more efficient aircraft, so we had a significant increase in passenger numbers in that decade with a relatively small increase in flights. This technology will continue."

"It's what we've been looking for over the past 20 years," added fellow senior author William Isaacs, a professor of urology and oncology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. "It's long been clear that prostate cancer can run in families, but pinpointing the underlying genetic basis has been challenging and previous studies have provided inconsistent results."
An estimated 240,000 men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year. While the HOXB13 gene mutation may account for only a small number of prostate cancer cases, it may provide clues about how this cancer develops and help to identify a group of men who might benefit from early or additional prostate cancer screening, the researchers said.

ROCHESTER, Minn., Aug. 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A symptomless blood disorder, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, known as MGUS, is not linked to as many serious diseases as previously thought. This finding may save patients from undergoing unnecessary workup and treatment according to a study published in the August 2009 issue of Mayo Clinic Proceedings.
MGUS has long been thought to be a precursor of serious disease, such as multiple myeloma, primary amyloidosis and Waldenstrom macroglobulinemia. However, for years physicians have reported possible association of MGUS with many more diseases. As a result, some patients with MGUS who had these disorders were subjected to investigations and sometimes additional treatments as a precaution.
MGUS is a fairly common disorder, affecting roughly 3 percent of the U.S. population. This study was supported in part by grants from the National Institutes of Health and the U.S. Public Health Service.
In this study, researchers looked at the records of 17,398 patients, all of whom were uniformly tested for the presence or absence of MGUS. Among the 17,398 samples tested, 605 cases of MGUS were identified. The researchers then looked at the incidence of over 16,000 different diagnosis codes in those with MGUS and those without. They identified 14 real disease associations, while 61 disease associations with MGUS were determined to be likely coincidental. In addition to multiple myeloma, the associations deemed real include vertebral and hip fractures and osteoporosis. "In addition to the article, we have made available on the journal Web site an appendix that has the raw

There was a lot of chatter a while back about a new DVC at the old River Country but then the Grand Floridian started. Any thought on if this will happen?
There has been a lot of chat about this over the years, I think there were even preliminary plans drawn up. However it looks like the next DVC will be at the Polynesian resort. With sales at the GF about to start and the Poly to break ground when it is finished i would bet we will not see another development for at least 5 years.
Disney realized they can command so much more money for a DVC at a monorail resort. So they shoved the FW DVC down the list and moved all of the monorail DVCs up to the top. I have also heard a Poly DVC is next on the list. As far as time frame...depends on how fast they want to sell out GFV. They can slow sales by raising the price just like they did at BLT. That was supposed to sell out more then a year before it did, once they jacked the price up to $150/$165 a point they were able to stretch out the last quarter million points for quite a while.
I thought there wasn't room to build at the Poly? I'm not going to buy at GF but I would definately buy at the Poly! I think they'll have to lower prices again if they build at the Fort. Unless they rebuilt River Country as the pool, there is no big draw there. I might choose it over SS or OKW, but that's it.
Thanks Doc and Dr. I feared as much. For my taste the resorts on the monorail have become overbuilt already. At our visit in February it felt like a small city at night. A feeling I am trying to get away from on vacation since I work in a large city. For us some peace in quiet away from it all is better.
I definitely believe something will come to the river country whether its a new DVC for the wilderness or a brand new hotel. The river country needs to go it looks horrible and is giving that area and disney a bad image. I also believe something new will be coming to the poly I started a thread on bungalows which is a cool and different idea that has been going around for awhile now but I strongly believe something will come to each. Sent from my iPad using DISBoards
Well, that was no great mystery all through the development process on the Ft. Wilderness DVC. Still they invested a lot of money in the project before it was mothballed. Chances are it will be revived at some point. The most profitable DVC projects are ones which add-on to existing Disney resorts. And Ft. Wilderness is one location which has not been exploited yet. Personally I thought the timing was poor, given that they have spent the last 6+ years selling points at the Animal Kingdom Villas. While the design of a Ft. Wilderness DVC remains mostly unknown, it would probably share a lot of the dark wood, hunting lodge flair found at AKV. DVC will be better served by offering uniquely different options to buyers before circling around to something so similar to AKV.
Based on what was out there, the DVC near FL and FW was to be a western theme! I find it a bit interesting that the new DCV at poly has plans for bungalows over the water and the one at FL/FW also showed a building over the water. AKK

This is what i get often today trying to get in the game. Please check this out.
I broke it when i did my training rampage, sorry Goto :(
We have been looking into it, however, it is not affecting the bulk of players, so this is one of those instances where we will specifically request players submit tickets. We are currently trying to determine if there is a common thread between the players who are having the issues. http://support.nightowlgames.net or email@example.com
i had the issue, then didnt, now it shows you have it down for maintenance instead of blank.
I was back in for 15 minutues.
We believe we have resolved the issue. Please let Support know if you are still having issues getting into game. http://support.nightowlgames.net or firstname.lastname@example.com
yup, all good thanks!

Baloo Stack 'Em Game
Thanks to Smucker's® Uncrustables® for sponsoring this article.
You never know what animals you may encounter floating downriver on the Jungle Cruise® attraction at Disney Parks. After all, tropical forests are home to a whole host of creatures adept at getting by on "bare necessities."
Inspired by a certain dancing bear with a knack for balancing a tower of colorful tasty fruits, here's a fun game in which family members stack up a flavorful lunch.
Take the Uncrustables® Sandwiches out of the freezer and set them aside to thaw for 30-60 minutes.
Print the template on white cardstock or sticker paper, then cut out the Baloo "stickers."
Cut two 3- by 11-inch rectangles from each of the four bright colors of cardstock.
Set one rectangle on a flat surface with the short ends on the sides. Lightly pencil a vertical line 3½ inches in from both sides. Then mark a second pair of lines 1-inch further in (toward the center) from the first set.
Crease the cardstock along the lines. Then wrap the colored sleeve around an Uncrustables® Sandwich, as shown, overlapping the flaps by ½ inch or so and sticking them in place with glue dots or clear tape.
Flip the color-wrapped Uncrustables® Sandwich over and use more glue dots or rolled pieces of tape to attach a Baloo sticker to the center of the cardstock sleeve. Use the remaining rectangles and Baloo stickers to make seven more sleeves.
When you're ready to play the game, the first person selects an Uncrustables® Sandwich from the stash and names a fruit that is the same color as the sleeve before setting it down on the middle of the table. For example, a banana or lemon could be named for a yellow sleeve. The next person chooses a different color (let's say green) and names a fruit of that hue (lime, grapes, kiwi, etc.) before stacking the second Uncrustables® Sandwich atop the first.
The goal is to add all the Uncrustables® Sandwiches without toppling the stack — and without repeating a fruit name or placing two with the same color sleeve in a row. Afterwards, serve the Uncrustables® Sandwiches with your family's favorite beverage for lunch.

text: I just happened upon this forum today while looking at good concealed carry holsters for my new(ish) CZ P01. I also have a CZ 75B which I bought earlier this year and a Beretta 25 cal which I've owned for a long time, but has always been a home protection weapon stashed in a drawer by the bed. I just received my PA LTCF last week and will likely start using my P01 as a regular carry weapon once my just-ordered CTAC holster arrives.

Heavy Rain |
Quantic Dream |
US Release Date:
2010-02-23 |
UK Release Date:
2010-02-26 |
Quantic Dream bigwig David Cage has said there's still plenty of room for improvement in regards to developing on PlayStation 3, noting that hotly anticipated thriller Heavy Rain marks the developer's first experience in working on the console.
"Well, you need to keep in mind that Heavy Rain is our first title on PS3. It's not the second or third generation of games on the same platform. We've just discovered the platform right now. So yeah, there's plenty of room for improvement I'm sure," Cage told the chaps at VideoGamer.com
"At Quantic Dream we know we can do much better than what we do here," he added.
Heavy Rain sports some of the most impressive visuals seen on Sony's black box to date (or any other platform, for that matter), and is currently pencilled in for release exclusively on PS3 in early 2010.

Gwinnett Daily Post
Atlanta Falcons fans who want to watch the game at the Georgia Dome while ordering team merchandise now have that option.
Duluth-based NCR Corporation on Thursday unveiled the software behind a four-year partnership with the Falcons that allows fans to buy merchandise from mobile apps or self-serve kiosks at the Dome.
"It's not just about the easier or faster way to skip the lines, a lot of times you'll forgo that merchandise, and you won't get that jersey from your favorite player," said Susan Johnson, vice president of global marketing with NCR.
The company unveiled software for fans in a suite to make purchases during the game and have the merchandise delivered before the end of the game. NCR also unveiled an interactive software service called "Wayfinding" that is designed to make it easier for fans to find their way around the Dome with a touch of the finger.
"People like convienance," said Tameka Rish, the Falcons' manager of corporate parternship. "The reason why our store is super busy before games and during halftime and at end of the game is no one wants to get up and miss something. You could miss a crucial turnover or score in 30 seconds. We're creatures of habit and copy others. When you see something you want, now you have the ability to get that quickly. If you don't have that opprtunity in front of you, there's a chance you may not buy it."
Company officials tout the software as a way to avoid waiting in line, and easier for fans to select, purchase and pick up merchandise. The technology is called the NCR NetKey Endless Aisle solution, which is a self-service kiosk for fans on the main level of the stadium to order merchandise from designated "NCR Express Zones" and pick it up when it's convenient.
Last week, during a pilot rollout at the Falcons game against New England, people from half of the suites available made purchases. And Johnson said she expects purchases to rise because there aren't merchandise stands on the level that has 164 suites.
A complete rollout of the software is scheduled for Monday's game against the New York Jets.
