Any suggestions on a SLR Digital Camera
Does anyone have any thoughts or comments on a SLR digital camera. By no means am I professional but I am so willing to learn how to shoot great pics.
Thanks so much!
Some things to think about:
- There really are no cr@ppy DSLRs being sold anymore. Even the new low-end cameras offer the latest in image-processing software and lens technologies.
- Even the low-end cameras also offer more than enough resolution (megapixels) for anything short of poster-sized prints. Don't get caught up in the megapixel race. It's like deciding between a car with 300 hp and one with 400 hp. Either will get the job done; your camera choice should be based on more than just raw power.
- You really should handle the camera you plan to buy. Some people find some cameras too large to handle comfortably.
- The camera you buy should allow you to output pictures in RAW format. This format contains more picture information so you can manipulate it digitally later without losing picture quality.
- It's a fact that most people buying SLRs these days never use more than the lenses that come in the box with the camera. Unfortunately, these "kit lenses" typically are not the best the camera manufacturer offers. Check out what other lenses the manufacturer offers and consider lenses sold by third-party manufacturers as well. You may find your pictures are noticeably better with a lens other than a kit lens -- especially one designed for the kinds of images you want to take (macro, telephoto, etc.)
- Some manufacturers offer image stabilization. This can be useful in getting pictures in low-light or fast-moving situations. The two types of IS are in-lens and in-camera. In-lens is better, but it means you're paying for IS with every lens you buy. Hard to say if one choice is better than the other. :-P
- Keep in mind that DSLR technology is still evolving some. Back when film SLRs were popular, it made sense to spend a good chunk of money on a camera you'd be growing into for 10-15 years. Given how quickly improvements still are being made, it doesn't make a lot of sense to spend well into four figures for a DSLR while you learn to take better pictures. Most DSLRs just aren't going to have that long a practical life.
Good luck!
We tried everything around 1K-1.2K. Our family takes a lot of photojournalistic style pictures and we decided on the Nikon D80. It takes great pictures, period! Also I found that the meter on the Canons is not as easy to read. I also had a bunch of Canon EF lenses that are of no use to me anymore. So we really felt that strongly about the Nikon to ditch Canon all together.
Hey sharon620 ,if you want to get to know more about digital SLR cameras ,you can consult to this link:
And here I found there is a "Backlight Photography Tips from Kodak" :
If you want to get a good digital SLR camera ,you can consider the Canon EOS 30D Digital SLR Camera , this camera is quite good, and here I got to know a good deal on it for $1026 instead of 1100 :
Anyway hope this helps .
Look at a Nikon D80, and at a Canon "Rebel XTi". These two are entry level cameras, but pack with avery feature you will ever need, plus more. The camera body is not necessarily the most expensive item; high quality lenses is where most of the money will go into. The kit lens (the lens that comes with the camera) is not the best, but you can do a lot with it.
Summary: buy the lowest-priced body of the two listed above, and use the extra money to buy a good lens for it.

AMD Files Suit Against Former Employees For Alleged Document Theft 72

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
"The court has ordered that the named defendants [...] prepare their computers and storage devices for forensic evaluation, and refrain from taking any action that would obfuscate the location of said devices or the data contained therein."
Isn't that a contradiction? That's like CSI calling you up and telling you "We're coming over next week, so make sure you prepare the crime scene for our arrival."
The thing is companies don't usually want to play that sort of game in situations like this because the chance to get sued is too high. They'll often help each other stop it. A dude tried to sell Coke's recipe to Pepsi, Pepsi called the FBI.
Goes double here, since nVidia seems to have the superior technology as of late. AMD's GPUs aren't bad, but they aren't as high performance as nVidia's parts, and their drivers are not as polished. There just isn't any magic juju that nVidia would want to steal, particularly given the risks.
My guess is this isn't an orchestrated defection. My guess is it is one of two things:
1) Some morons figured that they could make it big doing this, stole the documents on their own, and went over to nVidia. Perhaps this is even a result of a tip from nVidia.
2) This is a smokescreen on AMD's part, to try and keep these guys away from nVidia.
I just don't find it likely that nVidia would buy them off to do this. Too much to lose, not enough to gain. While they might want the people, which is totally legal, the tech isn't worth the risk.
Nonsense. AMD's GPUs tend to be high performance parts. Anyone looking at their performance can easily see this.
Nvidia, though, does tend to have better drivers; AMD/ATI, better hardware.
I don't know about the high performance cards, but a HD7770 can run circles around the similarily priced GTX650 cards. Same story with HD7750 and GT640.

Antage Bleu & Baby Bleu
American Made Since 2012
Danielle Hosker
Atlanta, Georgia
Antage Bleu, home of Baby Bleu, is a fine linen company, designed and crafted in the South, inspired by yesterday and coveted tomorrow.
Tell us about your business.Antage Bleu was started because, like so many people, what I wanted in the market place didn't exist so I felt the need to create it. I'm a creator by nature, a business developer, retailer & choreographer by trade & a lover of linens & interiors by heart. It's been the perfect storm— culminating in a very challenging, exciting & rewarding company. Van Gogh said it best, "I dream my painting & then I paint my dream." Fashion, architecture, antiques, & vintage motifs all intertwine to inspire my vision but it's the fabrics & textiles that drive the design. I touch, feel, fall in love with the fabrics, an idea pops into my head, I sketch my vision, we fine tune it & bring it to life. My hope is for Antage Bleu to evolve into a lifestyle brand, meeting the needs of the AB Girl by expanding into furniture, décor & apparel while staying true to the Antage Bleu mission & aesthetic. Linens are the core of the company, but we have some incredible products just waiting to come to life.
What makes your business stand out?The ABCs of Antage Bleu ... ATTENTION TO DETAIL. Box pleats, oversized ruffles, mitered edges, bone buttons, color blocking, designer fit and finish. We are not the average linen company; Vintage Drama & Modern Luxury are our middle names. BEAUTIFUL FABRICS. Irish linen, French twill, Italian wools, American jacquards, organic cottons. We are addicted to the most luxurious & decadent fabrics. CONSCIENCE PRACTICE. We are committed to being made in the USA, using natural fibers, being papered, not plastic, heirloomed not fast fashioned, lean, local & committed to green enterprise. DOCTOR'S ORDERS. For us, safety is paramount. We are dedicated to exceeding the American Academy of Pediatrics regulations and recommendations. Our bedding goes above & beyond by saying yes to industrial strength elastic encompassing the entire crib sheet, hidden zipper enclosures, hypoallergenic fill, natural fibers & American craftsmanship & saying no to bumpers per the AAP.
What's the best business advice you've received?Where there's a will, there's a way.

Beneficio económico de la caballa (Scomber japonicus) con relación a la temperatura superficial del mar en el área de Mar del Plata.
Perrotta, R.G.
Hernandez, D.R.
MetadataShow full item record
The temperature that limits the presence of schools of Argentine chub mackerel Scomber japonicus was found to be around 19°C in the Mar del Plata area Buenos Aires prov., Argentina. At higher values, most shoals leave coastal waters in direction to the mid-shelf. An inverse relationship was observed between catches per unit of effort CPUE and sea surface temperature. The highest CPUE values corresponded to temperatures lower than 19°C. Beyond that value, the possibility of obtaining a CPUE higher than the unit is nearly null and the low standard deviation means it is unlikely to reach high CPUE values. The economic profit per minute of each daily cruise was estimated using a case study carried out with a single vessel pilot with mean structural and functional characteristics similar to those of the commercial fleet. The results obtained showed differences in the two temperature ranges considered, with a mean profit 15 fold higher for temperatures lower than 19°C. As of said temperature, 25. of the catches generate economic losses. Profit also decreases along the fishing season. According to these results, a simple strategy for the commercial fleet is proposed.

Tale of the Tape: Iggy Azalea vs. Azealia Banks
You knew this had to happen. Apparently there isn't room for two up-and-coming female MCs with similar names in the hip hop game. Or so says Azealia Banks, who's been lighting into Iggy Azalea after she was included on XXL magazine's annual Freshman cover. "How can you endorse a white woman who called herself a 'runaway slave master,'" Banks asked on Twitter last month, referring to a line Iggy spits on "Drugz" ("When the relay starts/I'm a runaway slave/Master"). Iggy hasn't responded to Banks directly—beyond tweeting, "Two ppl have to care for beef to happen." But T.I., who recently announced that Iggy was joining his Grand Hustle crew, recently defended Iggy and threw a few sly shots at Banks. So who do you think is gonna win this battle of Azalea vs. Azealia? Click on as BET breaks down the two rappers' stats to help you figure out who's got the upper hand.

Hate this hair, love the suit
This chick has an exceedingly gorgeous smile
She's beautiful.
They don't look so good next to pale azz Tyler so that is saying something.
She is always picture perfect but something about the hair is distracting me. I'm not crazy about the pantsuit either.
She is beginning to look average!!! Oh well… What comes around goes around!!. She has work so hard to be and now it is showing!!! Best Wishes!!!
So what man puts his hand around another man's waist??? Im just saying…
Go Gabby girl! Looking 23!
LOL. Dwayne thought Steven Tyler was a woman. Look at his hand at his waist
He didn't look happy until Steven stepped in the picture.

Smith Hopes 'Freaky' Fans Will Make I,robot A Hit
Picture: Will Smith The Sports Dream Celebrity Poker Tournament at the Playboy Mansion Los Angeles, California - 10.07.07
Superstar actor Will Smith is confident his new movie I, ROBOT will be a big success - because science-fiction films always bring in "freaky" fans.
After the phenomenal success of his 1996 movie Independence Day, 35-year-old Smith believes sci-fi lovers are the most dedicated in the world.
He says, "I don't lose a great deal of sleep about it (a film's success). Sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss. You've just got to roll with the punches.
"With I, Robot I'm much more confident. This movie is going to hit its core audience, no problem. It's going to have those crazy, kind of freaky STAR TREK fans that cut their ears and all that s**t.
"Y'know I did INDEPENDENCE DAY too, so I know all about those kooks at the sci-fi conventions. You've got to make the most of them while they're there."30/07/2004 17:50

What backsplash to go with Opal White Quartzite????
You have all inspired me so much to not give up on my quest to find a more durable counter surface that looks like marble. I'll be using honed Opal White Quatzite.
My big stumbling block now is what kind of backsplash. My kitchen (and house) is contemporary. The Wenge cabinets are in. We're going with a concrete-looking ceramic tile for the floor. The vision is to have the backsplash go all the way up the wall. There is lots of natural light and there will be some downlights highlighting the backsplash.
DH and I have gone back and forth on this. He wants some color. I am more drawn to neutrals as we're having the upper cabinets painted ultra-high gloss in whatever color will make the kitchen really pop (mango?? green??).
Your inspiration AND PHOTOS will be really appreciated.
sfmomoxo - your kitchen sounds amazing, I can't wait to see pictures! My vote is for green uppers!
I have a white quartzite counter in a modern kitchen with dark cabinets (walnut). I just posted pictures of my mostly finished kitchen in a thread entitled: modern walnut kitchen. I'm in the same boat as you - trying to figure out what backsplash to go with. You might want to have a look at a thread of mine posted last March when I first asked for backsplash help. I got loads of good advice (hopefully I'll have my backsplash finished this summer). I've attached a link to the old backsplash thread.
With those colourful uppers I might be inclined to go neutral with the backsplash, perhaps a back-painted glass tile or glass sheets (probably what I'll be doing as well).
Good luck and keep us posted!
Here is a link that might be useful: backsplash thread
sfmomoxox - Your kitchen sounds stunning. I love that you are putting in bright uppers - I lean towards green in general, but the mango with the wenge would be striking as well and add some more warmth to the kitchen.
Can you post a photo of the counters? Assuming it is mostly white and moderately patterned, I might lean towards a white back splash - particularly a white glass smaller rectangular tile like the 1st photo below. I am also considering this. I have gray pietra counters but my island is supreme white quartzite and pretty dramatic so I thought the simple but interesting look of the glass in this link adds "texture", as they call it. The white would be fantastic contrast for the color cabinets (now I am imagining mango.) If you went with the green cabinets, I might lean a little gray but do something similar - whatever gray, even almost white, that would compliment the counter, create contrast for the uppers but not compete with them.
If you go stainless for your appliances - there are some neat stainless tiles - you could do a sheet of stainless behind the stove and then either the white-ish glass tiles, consider the metal tiles or even use sheets of stainless like the photo below.
If you want to add a traditional splash you could use white glass rectangular and place in running bond - a twist on subway tiles.
Other thoughts - small glass mosaics in a very "light" color - almost white with a little tinge of green or blue or whatever - not a lot of variation in tile color/low contrast. The newer machine made ceramics that have a glass finish - my bath tiles are from Cerim, which I think is Italian or Spanish. We used the bloom white is a light taupe color, but they have a super white in that line - http://www.cerim.it/en/prods-158-1.asp

Green and wood contemporary kitchen, gray black splash
Another nice white glass tile that could be more fun, interesting to your DH.
Thanks so much.
Sochi, you are in fact who inspired me to hunt for white quartzite. I saw your magnificent kitchen on this site and started scouting out available quartzite here in the Bay Area.
Sparklekitty, I love your suggestions. My first inclination was to go with a modern white linear tile (Oceanside Glass "Veil" blend), but DH thought it was too sterile.
I had a color consultant come over today and she had some brave new ideas. First is to use a small brick Walker Zanger combo of stone and irridescent glass. The walls would then be a neutral with bright mango cabinets (the stones in the tile have the occasional orangish highlight). The next suggestion was a Walker Zanger linear glass tile in their Creme Brulee color. The glass is their Chelsea Art Glass in shades of butterscotch and tan. The walls would be a burnt orange and the cabinets, white. I know it sounds bizarre, but it actually is quite striking.
Right now my thinking is to go with the first choice. (And yes I will post photos as soon as I figure out how to do that!) It has more of a "spa" like feel.
Thanks again!
sfmomoxo - Do you have a photo of the zanger combo you are thinking of? They really have stunning tile. I can only imagine how beautiful it must be if you picked it over the chelsea art glass - I have been quite enamored with the same line in sand (which is lighter mix/less contrast than creme brulee) but am still noodling on my back splash.
Your combos do not sound bizarre at all - brave, bold, energized, striking, fun, but not bizarre. I look forward to your updates as you go through the process. It is clear that I am a closet contemporary - my house just didn't speak to me in that language :)

Well, I think I finally have the Photobucket thing working! (However, I may be clueless in attaching multiple photos...so I'll start with where we are.)
Here is a photo of everything that is currently in the mix. All my "pieces" are against the newly installed Wenge cabinet door. Starting from the bottom, there's my beloved Opal White Quartzite. (Oh, how I searched for something I loved!) It really reads as grey, but close up you see all the faceted crystals.
Above the quartzite is the Walker Zanger tile. Why I think it will work...Well, it is 1/2 stone and 1/2 irridescent tile. The stone is pretty light neutral, both in gray tones (works with the counter) and warm tones (works with the cabinets). Some of the stones have a bit of a tinge of orange...we'll get to the accent upper cabinets soon). And some have a faint green undertone...which brings us to the first paint chip in a khaki color.
This khaki color is what we're considering for the walls. The walls are currently yellow, making it is so hard to tell if this color looks modern and will work well. It just looks so muddy when I paint a sample on the wall.
The next color chip up is the "fun" accent color for the upper cabinets (frosted glass insets) and upper shelves on the wall above the desk.
I'd love your comments on the backsplash and the colors. Your help has been invaluable!

Hi sfmomoxo,
I live in the Bay Area also and have been looking for a color consultant to help me select my backsplash. (I have a limestone-colored quartz countertop, so my color scheme is not miles apart from yours.) If you've liked your consultant, would you mind sharing her/his name?
Hi Neilar,
our KD has great color sense, and loves to design backsplashes. You might want to give her a call....
Here is a link that might be useful: Amy Carpenter Interior Design
Oooh...I am just so excited that we're finally getting back on track TODAY! The counters will go in on Monday. I've ordered the backsplash tile from Walker Zanger. Colors??? Finally! I'm going with Parchment from C2 as the wall color and Delicata for the upper cabinets and bookshelf. I'm a little nervous about the Delicata...is it too bright...too dark...too...??? But I've just had to take the leap.
Here are the elements...
I just love the countertop. The backsplash is half stone (pretty neutral, mostly beigy-grey with some coppery-orange accents) and half irridescent glass that IMO really picks up on the Quartzite's crystalline feel. Since some of the stone pieces have a bit of a orange color I hope that the Delicata works as an upbeat accent. I was concerned with the kitchen being a bit too dark with all the Wenge cabinets.
The paint colors aren't right here, but you can see a bit more of the backsplash sparkle.
Here's a bit of where we are...
As of today, that dreadful yellow on the walls will be the parchment. The painted-with-primer upper cabinets in the top kitchen picture (they'll have frosted glass panels) and the bookshelves will be Delicata. Counters go in on Monday. And the backsplash is on backorder...of course.
This has been a hard process. I so hope it all turns out. Thank you SO MUCH for your support with all this!
I am so relieved. The painting is done and I actually really like the Parchment...it's just such a relief to not have to look at that yellow another day! The counter install has been pushed to Tuesday/Wednesday. And I'm hoping that the upper cabinets will be painted and be ready to install next week. It feels so good to finally see the kitchen coming together.
Wow! Love the photo with the large sample of the counter with the backsplash - stunning. I like all mosaics in samples but in 'real life' tend to love the ones that have less variation in color/ less contrast, like what you have chosen. It will sparkle and wink and you with different angles and lights and pick up the colors in your counter and the sweet delicata squash :) I am very excited to see it all come together and thanks for sharing the in progress photos.

I hope to never need them again, but if I do, I wouldn't hesitate to call them first.
Oswald & Yap has been my legal consultant for more than 15 years during my entire career; I work for several multinational companies, including a flat panel TV/monitor/notebook manufacturer, and an international TV communication, media company.

I went to Calvin for a consultation for a real estate matter. He was extremely gracious and informative. I never felt as if he were taking down to me as lawyers have a tendency to do at times. I really appreciated that., plus the clarity with which he addressed my real estate concern. I was able to move forward with a good decision after talking with him.

Conservatives reportedly pushing for privitization
The British government is reportedly preparing a plan to give national health records to either Google or Microsoft, rather than creating a massive government database. Reports of the plan have sparked vigorous debates in the United Kingdom
The plan, as described in the reports, would privatize the National Programme for Information Technology's Care Records Service. The government would entrust health records to either Microsoft HealthVault or Google Health.
Britain's National Audit Office warns that the government's digitization project is over budget and behind schedule, with a total cost to taxpayers of more than 12.7 billion British pounds sterling, the BBC said.
The privatization plan is not yet firm, the BBC said, and the politicians are looking at reviews they have commissioned from a panel of experts.
Google Health and Microsoft HealthVault are services that allow individuals to hold their medical records in a central location.
Microsoft officials told the BBC they are in talks with the National Health Service to offer HealthVault as an add-on rather than a replacement for the Care Records Service, the BBC said.
"The most pressing issue is that almost 9 million households in Britain do not have access to the Internet. Health experts fear that such a move could penalize the most vulnerable in society," wrote Sam Coates in the TimesOnline.
The proposal has aroused controversy because of the close ties between a Conservative party official and Google, according to the Guardian newspaper.

The alternative to Google or Microsoft is a 'homegrown' government developed database that wouldn't be mature either. So, that's a moot point. By chosing Google or MS, the government should save significant tax dollars for an already developed databse, albeit not a seasoned one. Personally, I hope they select Google.
Google Health and Microsoft Healthvault are not matured products. If this plan is approved, it would be an opportunity for them to work on their products using govt. money!

Professional Linux Deployment
Professional Linux Deployment is part of the Wrox Programmer to Programmer series. In the Introduction the book states it will teach professional administrators steps to replace existing network systems with Linux. The book is targeted towards the NT and non-Linux UNIX administrator. It presumes the reader is a knowledgeable NT administrator and has learned Linux installation and basic setups elsewhere.
Professional Linux Deployment (PLD) opens by recognizing that some readers may first have to provide a convincing argument for why Linux should be integrated into the organization's information technology architecture. To keep things balanced, the authors also provide arguments against Linux. Several pro and con Linux web sites are suggested. The book then moves on to integrating Linux platforms into NT and other UNIX computing environments.
The first major integration topic to be covered is replacing NT-based file and print servers with Samba. Implementing web and ftp servers is the next integration area presented. At this point the authors provide an e-commerce case study using Linux and Apache. Next they examine the integration of databases and directory services.
Network infrastructure services are discussed next and here the authors provide details on replacing your current routers, gateways, mail and DNS servers, proxies and firewalls with Linux-based machines. Secure networks and links have become important to the average business. PLD's cryptography chapter suggests various encryption tools available for integration into an IT architecture to secure network traffic.
The integration of distributed systems is discussed and provides some idea as to whether or not Linux could be implemented within a particular environment. The last area of integration looks at providing component object model (COM) and distributed component object model (DCOM) functionality from a Linux platform.
In closing, the book offers a case study on migrating to Linux. This study primarily discusses migrating an application from UNIX to Linux. Each chapter concludes with a list of resources, which include web sites, books, mailing lists and news groups.
Three appendices provide a 5,000 foot overview of Linux, Linux commands and utilities, and pointers on system administration. As a reference, these appendices are okay, but do not expect to learn all you need to know about Linux and Linux administration here.
Deployment decisions must be economically, politically and technically acceptable to the organization. Since this is a book on deployment, I expected to see some deployment guidance or suggested methodology. Sadly, this book fails to discuss this area in any depth.
The book provides the technical knowledge and experience necessary when making Linux-deployment recommendations. It delineates the steps to set up Linux-based services in comparison to those provided by NT or other UNIX variants. This allows for a careful examination of the similarities and differences between services provided by NT and Linux platforms. It makes it easier to compare the quality of a current service with the same Linux-based service. The book also made it easier to contrast the resources required in setting up and maintaining Linux-based services with the services on your current platform. The knowledge gained from this resource should provide the technical foundation for deciding whether deploying Linux-based services makes technical and financial sense.
Considerable credit must be given to the book's editors as well. If it were not for the author list, it would be difficult to recognize that ten people contributed text to this book.
Daniel Lazenby (email@example.com) first encountered UNIX in 1983 and discovered Linux in 1994.

Halo 4 Assassin Team
- Back To:
- Board List

- Topic Archived

- Last
Hey everyone so I have been playing Halo 4 a bunch and discovered that I am definitely a Halo 4 assassin. When I play, I am the patient one who chills in a dark spot or on a rooftop or bridge to await my unwary prey. And I've found myself becoming quite adept at it. But my main problem is other players who just run around and cause a bunch of chaos and immediately run in the direction of the slightest scent of an enemy. Now I'm not saying that this is bad. Everyone plays Halo differently and if that's what works for you, then I have no problem with that and I'm sure that now I'm gonna get a bunch of hate replies and be called a camper just by posting this. But for those of you reading this who can relate to me, please consider joining my team. My gamertag is amcsBreakingBad. Just send me a friend request and mention that you are interested in joining. This is NOT an MLG team, but if you consider yourself to be exceptional at either sniping of assassinating...or both, then send me a message. Spartans of any rank are allowed to join, but everyone considering joining must first play a few matches with me to prove that they are proficient snipers/assassins. Mics are strongly recommended and will be taken into consideration when choosing teammates, but they are not required.
For those that don't want their eyes to bleed form the wall of text, let me sum it up.
I am a patient player who is annoyed by randoms just running into the fray and making me loose, I am currently looking for a team of other patient players. Mics are recommended, and you will be tested.
Hope that helps, but no for me.
Be careful around explosions, they're contagious.

Assume that in my existing production database, I have a table Students. Majority of students are ex. students, which I would like to separate from current students. More specifically, I'd like to keep Students table for students that are currently enrolled and move the other ones to Students_history table. Likewise with some other tables connected to Students. The motivation for this is that want to have (school_name, student_id) as a primary key, and sometimes same schools will reassign student_id, thus I will have same student_id for some student that graduated 10 years ago and another that is currently enrolled. This student_id is something beyond my control, it's from the data coming into the application. The second thing is that many operations on my table will be much faster, as there are much less current students than all students (including ones that graduated).
The best solution I was able to find includes defining triggers on Students table, where deleting them moves students (and other data that references student entries) to the corresponding Student_history table. The part I'm trying to figure out is how to make Hibernate work with this. I'd like to show entries from both tables (Students and Students_history) in the web app, just like it's working currently. To show this data in web interface, I'm using GWT, where data is fetched using:
Criteria criteria = session.createCriteria(Students.class);
Using criteria helps greatly when sorting and filtering items in web app. I've tried specifying custom query for loading, like this:
@Table(name = "Students")
@Loader(namedQuery = "students")
@NamedNativeQuery(name = "students", query = "select * from students union all select * from students_history WHERE Id = ?", resultClass = Students.class)
After the query follows a definition of Students class. This does not work - the query that Hibernate generates with the forementioned criteria does not include any mention of students_history.
I'm using postgreSQL, Hibernate 4 and Java 1.6.
My questions are:
- Am I on the right track separating current and old students? By this, I mean using helper table and stored procedures upon deletion.
- Can Hibernate criteria work with custom loading query defined with @Loader annotation? I expected that Hibernate will use my loader query as a basis for criteria. If this is possible, any code snippet or link will be welcome.

Jan 3, 2011, 2:46 PM EDT
Tim Redding started 17 games and threw 120 innings for the Mets in 2009, but he spent all of last season at Triple-A and will likely begin this year there as well after signing a minor-league contract with the Dodgers. Redding pitched pretty well at Triple-A with a 2.89 ERA and 83/22 K/BB ratio in…

Reds "are showing interest" in outfielder Fred Lewis
Jan 3, 2011, 1:40 PM EDT
Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com reports that the Reds are interested in free agent outfielder Fred Lewis for a part-time role. Lewis was non-tendered by the Blue Jays despite a decent one-season stay in Toronto, hitting .262/.332/.414 with 17 steals in 480 plate appearances after coming over from the Giants in a mid-April trade. He'd…

Did They Know?
I've just been reading about comments made/things done prior to the passing of those we love.
This isn't something that anyone has mentioned to me but I've wondered about. Just wondered if it's "protection thinking" or ????
My other Wing passed 16 months ago. We knew he had major medical problems. It seemed as if he tried to pull away to some extent the previous year after a second heart surgery. I know of the personality changes than can occur after major heart surgery and had decided this is what it was. Now, I believe not only his doctor told him but he possibly "knew" also. "ILU" were the last words he spoke to me. It has been quite a while with that type of an ending to any of our conversations.
Sorry I'm not more articulate. Is it ME or could they know?
I have read the soul knows. I feel his did..or is this another boulder in the road of grief?
Wing, among the stages of dying (and the stages of grief) is denial. Some of us are able to get beyond denial and move on past bargaining to acceptance. I've seen families who 'didn't want Granpa to know' he was dying, and Granpa is pretending that he doesn't know and nobody is making any progress at having meaningful conversations and saying goodbyes. I think most do know, whether told or whether they just sense it. The pulling away you mentioned is common.
Don't you think that leaving must be very hard? Sometimes it's just so painful we all pretend it isn't happening because it's easier not to talk about it. Some people will acknowledge that they know they are dying. I'm rambling here. I think my point is that we're all different and some of us want to say a bunch of goodbyes and some of us prefer to, as my mother used to say, "just pull up the covers and go on."
I think your Wing wanted to assure you that he still loved you, that leaving was hard for him, and that he was too tired to stay here.
Bless your heart.
thats exactly what happened with me, with my mother and son even though they were in deep coma's I know it sounds silly but I was still frightened to tell them exactly what I wanted to tell them just incase they didn't know. because they say the hearing is one of the last things to go.My father was different because he wasn't it such a deep coma and was stopping breathing and starting again for about 8 hrs I still found it difficult to say what I wanted to say which I deeply regret doing. But I talk to them all the time now and I still keep finding pennies, which makes me smile.
I firmly believe that on a certain level, the subconscious mind/soul certainly does know that their time here on earth is almost over. I have dealt with many, many, people who have lost loved ones who were not even sick before they left, and many of them have stories that confirm that belief.
There is so much that our minds can't even come close to conceiving and so much that we will never know and understand until our time is here. It is obvious though from so many stories that we do know to some degree that our time is almost up. We have intuition about other things in life, why not something as major as our life ending?
My husband asked to go to a Hospice to die and for the 12 days he was there he was happpier than he had been in many months. I think the pressure of keeping up a good front for everyone was removed, the fear of not knowing when his time would come because he had made the decision, all that was heavy on his shoulders. We lived there for those 12 days and neither of us had any other responsibilities, just to be together, I took care of him until the end.
Many people are naturally intuitive and may sense that something is going to happen. This happened to me about 6 or 8 months before my husband's sudden death in a car accident. I just "felt" that something bad was going to happen to one of us but didn't know which. I pulled away from him emotionally, so as to make it easier for the one who was left. I even went so far as to tell my sisters, 2 months before his death, that we'd all been lucky to have such a large family with nothing bad ever happening, but that things were going to change soon. And yet, when I recieved that call about the accident, I was still so shocked and couldn't believe this was happening! There's no real way to prepare for it, but sometimes you DO know.
I'm certain that my mother knew about 4 months before she died (just 3 weeks ago). She gave me her wedding ring and asked me to start wearing it in November. It made me cry and I protested but she insisted it was important to her so I did it.
She tried to give me her jewelry box and I refused to take it; it seemed too final for me and I just couldn't do it.
She 'loaned' some money to a grandchild and then hand-wrote on her will that any money loaned to grandchildren didn't have to be paid back.
She gave away clothes to the employees at the retirement home where she lived.
She definitely drew away from old friends and made them cancel trips to visit her over the holidays.
She sent back most of her Christmas presents with notes saying the gifts were lovely but she couldn't use them! We all shared a laugh about how rude she was, but now I feel terrible that we ignored this HUGE sign.
She talked eldlessly to my older brother about her finances and now he's feeling guilty because he didn't want to talk about it with her. She was so proud of the fact that she had everything ready and we should have been praising her for being so wise.
As we look back, it seems very clear that she knew. Absolutely KNEW. We were just too dumb to see it too. Or in denial. Nobody wanted to talk to her about death. But she did want to talk about it. I have felt terrible guilt about this over the past 3 weeks. We spent our lives trusting her and listening to her, but in this very important thing... we didn't.
All we saw was that she still seemed to be in good health for her age. But she knew.

- Love Hurts - Fable 2
Back to Fable 2 Guide Index
More for this game: Fable 2 SuperCheats
Back in Bowestone set up the Love Hurts quest. This involves you going to see the gravekeeper in Bowerstone Cemetery to go on a longwinded hunt for some missing body parts which he is collecting.
Without asking too many questions, you'll be sent first to the well-travelled Hobbe Cave in Rookridge to get the initial piece of the puzzle. Fight your way through the cave to wherever your dog locates the quest-crucial dig spot as being. Digging here will unearth the lower part of the body. Get back to Bowerstone and deliver the partial corpse to him. It emerges that he is collecting the body parts of Lady Grey, but for what end it's unclear at the moment. The second piece is in a new tomb in Wraithmarsh. Unfortunately every time you travel there you tend to have to fight at least one Banshee or group of Hollow Men, but you can fast travel pretty close if you use Bloodstone Road as the route. Hold A to enter. This tomb is a bit of a puzzler, but the first room you get into is pretty simple. Defeat the Hollow Men and then destroy the creepers to climb up the stairs and then stand on the switch underneath the next set of tangled plants and shoot the glowing orb, then slash at it, then shoot it again to open the main door out from the lower level.
Once you get to the corridor with the spikes in and full of Hollow Men, head to the end and stand on the switch to send an orb through and to the other side of the spikes.
Move back to the centre where the spikes are and shoot the orb as usual. That opens the door, so continue on. The next main room is waterlogged and again inhabited by Hollow Men. Defeat any that there are then stand on the switch underneath the odd looking statue. After it repositions itself, do the Chicken expression to activate another orb. If you follow the golden trail now to stand on the switch in the next room nothing will happen, but double back and head up the stairs to the left of the statue, rather than following the golden trail's path. At the top of the stairs stand on the switch (you may have to move on and off it repeatedly until the orb changes colour and moves closer) shoot the orb and then drop down to stand on the platform in the room below. You can then proceed through the door. The next large room will see plenty of Hollow Men to defeat, but more importantly an orb which moves from statue to statue each time you hit it. Keep pummelling it until it makes its way to the opposite door to the one marked with the golden trail. Make your way past the flame-throwing statues and stand on the switch right at the end to open the correct door. Head through and in the final room open the coffin/chest to get Lady Grey's upper body. Get out of Wraithmarsh and back to the graveyard (fast-travel if you wish) and get the details of the third piece.
Fortunately for all concerned this one is nice and short. Go to Fairfax Gardens and into the tomb of Lady Grey herself. Once you descend the stairs and initiate the drop into the main tomb it all looks a bit scary amongst the dark sand.
All the same, head straight forward to the coffin and open in to retrieve her head (it's a shame the coffin in the Rescuing Charlie quest wasn't this easy to open!). You can leave via the stairs at the end of the room through the larger-than-average beetles, or simply fast travel out back to Bowerstone Cemetery.
Finally the quest is nearing its end, and this time you can find the gravekeeper in his basement. It emerges that he has invented a device to resuscitate the dead, planning to use this on Lady Grey convinced that she'll fall in love with the first person she sets eyes on. As events unfold you can either choose to keep Lady Grey as your girl (she does look and sound unique, which is a plus) despite all the gravekeeper's hard, yet disturbing work, and collect 10 evil points. Otherwise, just leave the mansion before events pan out at the gravekeeper's request and you get 10 good points. The Rod of Life trophy and 8500 renown also greet you upon completion of this quest.
