Detroit � It was never impossible, but it was looking improbable. And then the unlikeliest scenarios started lining up, and the Tigers emerged from the deepest danger, gasping but resuscitated.
There was Max Scherzer, newly crowned clutch reliever, pumping his arm in wild exultation after a narrow escape. There was Jhonny Peralta, once banished, now basking. There were Tigers suddenly circling the bases, as the huge crowd roared half in relief, half in disbelief.
The Tigers were pushed to the brink and nearly past it. And then in the flick of a swing, they were back in the game, back in the series, back in the mood. The Tigers rallied to edge the A�s 8-6 Tuesday night to force a decisive Game 5 of the ALDS, and the throaty cheers at Comerica Park told the story.
Baseball is a game of improbabilities, and the Tigers proved it with clutch feats from improbable guys. On a redemptive night, Peralta took a mighty cut and erased more than a 3-0 deficit. His three-run homer in the fifth inning eased the sting of his suspension and just might have saved the season. Austin Jackson, who struck out three times, broke his bat on his fourth attempt and poked the ball to right field to knock in the go-ahead run in the seventh.
From the hard-luck guys to the hard-throwing ace, this was terrific theater, if you don�t mind numbing tension. Jim Leyland gambled and Scherzer delivered with two innings of gutsy relief, somehow slipping out of a bases-loaded jam. Even when Victor Martinez clubbed the tying home run in the seventh, it required a replay review to make sure a fan didn�t interfere with right fielder Josh Reddick.
The hitting drought ended in a flourish, and Peralta and Jackson showed what to do when given another chance. Jackson was booed after his strikeouts and mired in a 1-for-14 slump before his hit. At that very moment, I�m not sure which was more palpable � the cheers of the crowd or the sigh from Jackson.
�It felt great, a relief to just get something going,� Jackson said. �I wasn�t worried about the booing, to be honest. I�m still confident in myself, and my teammates kept my head up and kept pumping me up.�
Peralta was one of those teammates talking with Jackson between innings, and if anyone could appreciate the difficulty, it�s him. Peralta served a 50-game suspension for steroid use and returned in the final week, willing to accept any role. He moved to a new position, said all the right things, then grabbed a bat and delivered the hit of the year, so far.
When he returned to his left-field spot in the bottom of the inning, the fans cheered madly, and one threw the home-run ball back to him. Peralta is a man of few words, but it struck him deep.
All's forgiven
�The fans feel really good to me,� he said. �I tried to do my best for the team and the fans. I feel grateful for the opportunity.�
No one ever feels comfortable in the playoffs, and the Tigers certainly aren�t safe yet. Game 5 is Thursday night in Oakland, and you know the A�s aren�t going meekly. But the Tigers have another ace, Justin Verlander, ready to start, eager for a reprisal. It was Verlander in the same situation a year ago, shutting the A�s out in Game 5.
The way things looked, there was no way the Tigers were heading back to Oakland. Everything was silent � the crowd, the bats � and the Tigers didn�t have a hit until the fifth inning off rookie Dan Straily. Sometimes it�s as simple as this: One swing, one pitch can change everything, and the Tigers got a few of each.
Scherzer took everyone to the wild side when he relieved Doug Fister, then loaded the bases with nobody out in the eighth as the Tigers clung to a 5-4 lead. Desperate times? Uh, no problem. Scherzer struck out Reddick on a 3-2 pitch that was in the dirt, then struck out Stephen Vogt. Then on another 3-2 pitch, he got Alberto Callaspo to line to Jackson in center, and danger finally dissipated, for the moment.
�To be able to get out of that jam, that�s something I�ll never forget,� Scherzer said. �That�s something I�m not really asked to do, and obviously Skip had the confidence in me to stick with me.�
It was an incredible escape for the presumptive Cy Young winner with the 21-3 record, and it wasn�t even the strangest turn of the night. Once again, the Tigers couldn�t stop the A�s pesky leadoff hitter, Coco Crisp. Once again, the A�s grabbed the lead, 1-0, and the foreshadowing matched the late-afternoon shadows.
Not looking good
Jackson and Torii Hunter struck out in the first. Then Miguel Cabrera sent a towering flyball that two months ago would�ve been a home run. With his groin injury sapping his leg strength, it was a deep out, and as the slugger limped, the signs were ominous.
By the bottom of the fifth, Oakland was on top 3-0 and Detroit still was seeking its first home run of the series. It looked dire before a bloop hit by Prince Fielder, and another hit by Martinez. Then came the Peralta blast that cleared the left-field fence to tie the game 3-3 and send the fans into delirium.
There was nothing conflicted about it, either. Peralta paid his penance and is back mainly because the Tigers need his bat. But the fans also welcomed him back, and so did his teammates.
�That home run couldn�t have come at a better time, and couldn�t have happened to a better guy,� Jackson said. �Jhonny�s been awesome, and for him to do that in that situation, it shows what kind of player he is.�
It showed what kind of night this was. Finally, several players grabbed a bat and swung the heavy lumber. It was crazy and tight to the end, and you can expect more of the same in Game 5, when the Tigers again will try to turn the improbable back to reality.

Hi everyone. I'm having a bit of a rough day today and thought rather than sit here ruminating I thought I would post how I'm feeling today and get it out in the open.
As you all know, I'm moving at the end of the month. I know we are not suppose to make major changes in our lives for the first year of recovery but I really didn't have much choice in the matter. So I've been trying to remain possitive and have been looking forward to the new beginning. But today I'm feeling sad for what I have to let go.
So I would like to talk about CHANGE
I was down in the basement going through the old archives and started going through old pictures, birthday cards from the kids, things they've made me in school or bought me from the dollar store. All these things have meant so much to me over the years but they are sitting in boxes in the basement. The more I looked through all this stuff the more I started to miss my old life, when the kids were still young and they needed me and looked up to me. Today things are very different. My son doesn't speak to me and my 2 girls are off doing they're own thing and I am preparing to start a new life on my own again. I know I need to get rid of a lot of the stuff I've collected over the years because I just don't have the room in the new place. Somehow it began to feel like by getting rid of things I'm getting rid of the past and realized maybe that's exactly what I need to do to be able to start fresh. I've been working so hard at letting go of the bad stuff but am left clinging to the good stuff.
So I need an outsiders insight. Why am I having such a difficult time today when I know this is the best thing for me. It's a brand new beginning and I was just getting to the point that I was actually looking forward to it. So I started to think about why I was feeling the way I was feeling. Was I afraid? What was I afraid of? I'm not afraid of doing this alone. I don't feel alone anymore and I know there are lots of other options if this doesn't work out so that's not it. Am I afraid I'm making the wrong move? No, I love the new apt and the opportunity to start fresh without the chaos that has been in my life up until now. Am I afraid of making the same mistakes? No, I'm a different person now and I'm very aware of the decissions I'm making because they are no longer made out of fear or running from or too anything.
So why can't I let go and move on???? I can't explain how I feel. I'm not depressed or angry or upset or even confused. I just feel sad. Maybe this is normal LOL.
I've sent an e-mail to my sponsor and should here back shortly from her and I'm going to bring this up and my home group meeting tonight but I would really appreciate your input into this.
thanks everyone for listening
With Love and Bright Blessings

This is really great and makes AMD more attractive to me to!
But they need to get better at publishing changelogs, and support the latest X.Org Server releases.
It really bothers me a lot that it takes months for AMD to get a driver to support the latest X.Org Server release, every time!
It really bothers me that they are holding back progress by forcing distributions to ship old X.Org releases.

Buy here pay here dealers provide in house financing based, for the most part, on the customer's income, and steady residence. These dealers provide an opportunity for those with a bad credit history, that would not be readily available through conventional lenders and dealers, although interest rates for this type of purchase may be a bit higher, due to the added risk that buy here pay here dealers take.

The latest trend in the buy here pay here car business: Buy a car, get a GPS, too. Posted August 16, 2013 The twist is you may never know about it. Buy here pay here car dealers — especially the ones who cater to customers with bad credit — are increasingly placing GPS devices on the cars they sell. These devices aren't the kind you mount on the dashboard to navigate city streets. They're electronic locators, designed to help the repo man find your car if you stop paying. Some devices can even disable the car until you pay up. In the cat-and-mouse game between the late-paying car customer and the buy-here, pay-here dealer, the GPS locator is a new weapon. The trouble comes when the buy here pay here car dealer fails to mention it. "They don't want the customer to know that if they don't pay, they can come find it," said Duane Overholt, an industry critic who runs the website stopautofraud.com. Car repossessions guided by GPS are so widespread the buy here pay here industry has its own trade group: The Payment Assurance Technology Association. The group has a code of ethics that requires its members to "fully define and disclose" these devices to customers. "It's the deep sub-prime, buy-here pay-here, consumers with poor credit scores," who are targeted with these secret devices Some of these devices not only serve as locators, but also as reminders. If a payment is due, the device beeps for 20 seconds — kind of like a seat belt reminder — after starting the car. A customer with a low credit score often is happy to buy a car with a GPS locator installed, and to sign a contract that discloses the device. Without it, he or she might not be able to buy a car at all. Michael Fischer, who owns GPSandTRACK in Phoenix, said the decision of whether to disclose the devices should be left to dealers. They aren't being used to spy on customers, he said, they're a way of getting cars back if people don't pay. "The dealers could care less what their customers are doing all day," he said. Jon Mills, professor and dean emeritus of the University of Florida's Levin College of Law, said secretly placing devices raises "a lot of red flags." He called it "an intrusion upon seclusion." The practice reminds him of the controversy that arose after several large rental companies were caught secretly placing spyware on computers they rented out. "Essentially what they're trying to do there is stalk the person," said Timothy Kaye, a law professor at Stetson University. "And you don't have a right to stalk anyone."
Vehicle Review: 2012 Hyundai Sonata Posted May 23, 2013
Whether it's the Elantra scrapping with the economy compacts or the Equus trading barbs with encrusted luxo-yachts, Hyundai seemingly has a fighter in every weight class. Among midsize sedans, the 2012 Hyundai Sonata was the Korean automaker's contender. In prior years, the Sonata was nothing more than a midpack player, but that all changed with 2010's full redesign, in which the Sonata gained dramatic new styling, new engines and a revamped interior. Under the hood was a choice of a powerful 2.4-liter four-cylinder or, in lieu of a V6, a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder. With 198 horsepower (200 in SE trim), the base engine satisfied just about everybody, especially when it returned a very impressive 28 mpg combined when paired with the six-speed automatic transmission. Equally impressive is the turbo engine, which cranked out 274 hp yet still gets nearly identical fuel economy estimates.....more
Ask The Right Questions Posted May 13, 2013
Getting the right answers starts with asking the right questions. That's why we created Buy Here Pay Here Financing Basics and this list of questions designed to give you a starting point in your conversation with a Buy Here Pay Here (BHPH) Dealer. Choose the ones that matter most or add your own questions to get the information you're interested in. 1. What do I need to bring when I visit your dealership? Bringing the correct documents to a buy here pay here dealership can speed up your purchase process. Although the list of items can differ depending on your unique credit situation and each dealer, we interviewed buy here pay here dealers around the country, and here is what they suggested you take: Driver's License Proof of Auto Insurance Financial Info (bank and credit card account info to fill out credit application) Social Security Number References (with complete contact info) Proof of Employment and Salary (paycheck stubs, with one less than 30 days old) Proof of Residence (mortgage document or rental lease agreement) Current Phone Bill (or other utility bill such as gas, electric or water) Down Payment To find out exactly what to bring, call the dealership before you visit. They'll help you pull together everything you need. 2. How do you accept payment? Instead of making monthly payments to a traditional lender, you make weekly or bi-weekly payments at a BHPH dealership. Many BHPH dealers require you to bring cash physically to their location, but some are expanding the ways they'll accept payment. Ask if they take payment by phone or online. Some dealers will require an automatic withdrawal if you currently have a checking account, savings account or credit card. Other dealers offer the option of paying through money orders. Explore a variety of payment methods with your dealer to find one that best fits your financial situation. 3. What is your late payment policy? You'll want to understand the dealership's late-payment policy. Will they repossess the car the day after you fail to make a payment, or is there a grace period? Will they contact you or simply take the car back with no questions asked? More than likely, this will never be an issue, but it's good to know what to expect if an emergency temporarily delays your payment. You might also ask if the dealership regularly reports both positive and negative payment information to the credit reporting agencies. If you have a good payment record and the dealer reports this information, this can help you start or rebuild a credit history. 4. Where are you located? When selecting from a list of buy here pay here establishments, location is important. Pick one close to where you live or work so that it's convenient to come in to make your payment. What's more, BHPH dealers prefer to work with customers who live close to the dealership so that it's simple to maintain the financial agreement geographically. So, finding a dealership nearby may make it even easier to get the car loan you need. 5. What value do you place on providing quality vehicles? Bad credit shouldn't prevent you from getting a good vehicle. In fact, many buy here pay here dealers are focused on offering reliable vehicles. They understand that to ensure your faithfulness to the payment plan, they need to offer you a dependable vehicle. Ask dealerships about the inspection standards or reconditioning processes they use to prepare vehicles for purchase. See if they offer maintenance and repairs onsite, or if they have a partner provider who does. A reliable vehicle serves the interests of both parties, and a dealer should be happy to provide you with this information.

Brisbane Montessori School
Contact: 07 3878 1666
Mactier Street, Fig Tree Pocket QLD 4069
Educating our children today is more challenging than ever before. We have an overwhelming number of choices and this means we need clearer criteria by which to choose the schooling approach for our children.
Families choose a Montessori school for educational and child development reasons.Within the Montessori context the approach to education in the classrooms is very specifically based on scientific understanding of how a child develops and learns. This synergistic approach (using the childs natural potential) enables optimal learning. Educationally the child is at the centre of their learning; at their own pace with scope to pursue their own interests. The integrated curriculum and multi-age classrooms also provide the student with a dynamic learning environment; a place where children love to learn.
Montessori is about learning to balance responsibility with freedom of choice. It offers children the opportunity to realise their potential in a non-competitive environment and seeks to promote:
- self-confidence and self-esteem,
- a sense of achievement and self worth,
- a sense of responsibility for themselves and their actions,
- independence and adaptability,
- cooperation with others and a sense of community,
- respect for the rights and needs of others,
- initiative and self-motivation, and
- concentration and persistence in completing a task.

I'm pretty sure it was at 4CCs in 2007.
I'm pretty sure it was at 4CCs in 2007.
Pechelat/Bourzat: They were clean. They were too frighteningly close to D/Ws scores at NHK for my taste. You know, for such a unique team (the range of styles they attempt, the metaphors they try to invoke) how they remain so boring for me personally I dont understand. I didnt feel Chaplin from this at all. Uninteresting lifts. I will just have to admit that I dont get this team at all.
Bobrova/Soloviev: On the other hand, there first lift was just exquisite. Im in love with their line. Im willing to be convinced, but I do hope this program grows by the end of the season. Also, lets hear it for Russian costume design thats gorgeous, detailed and subtle.
Faiella/Scali: Ice dancing men tend to be very attractive, and Scali might be the most gorgeous of them all. If he skated with Cappellini the overload of beauty might be too much. Shes so one note, but this vehicle works for one note. Reusing lifts is not attractive. Some lovely linking moves (the one right before the spin was my favourite). Once they fix the dress problems, the second lift will be awesome. But this isnt my favourite program of theirs. I happen to think that their program last season was a masterpiece and I really enjoyed their Moonlight Sonata as mimes/clowns. I wanna withhold judgement until I see it clean though (one question: Ive always wondered how effectively coaches work with skaters when both sides are functioning in second languages.).
Hoffman/Zavozin: The tonal shift really wrecks this program. I liked it when it was trash-goth-horror. They tried though, but theyre gonna see themselves tumble out of the top ten this season without major improvements.
Hubbells: You know, I genuinely thought that this team would benefit from being the top American team not in the Zueva/Shpilband estate. Guess not.
Ralph/Hill: When Paul/Islam pass you at Nationals, youll have only yourself to blame.
I couldn't disagree more. I loved, loved, loved this dance. It's the only dance that I've cared enough to rewatch multiple times. They had a clear theme that they carried from the moment they stepped onto the ice, had great connection with each other and the audience, and their dance was intricate and had tons of little details that fit right into the theme of the skate. As for the lifts, I loved the one where he does kind of a twist thing. Everything flowed beautifully. The twizzles could've been done a little better (but that's nitpicking), but the dance spin was the only weak element, IMO. Going to Finlandia/Nebelhorn was a really good strategy.
As for it being close to D/W's score - it should be! D/W had an intricate program, but it came off as really busy, with messy lines and I don't think the tango suits Meryl at all. It seemed to highlight her weaknesses: poor leg line and piking forward at the waist. To me, their dance was one level 4 element after another without any real feel for the music and lacking the romantic chemistry a tango requires. I don't doubt that they will perform the dance better as the season goes on, but the NHK performance was a bit rough still.
Goes to show you how subjective ice dance can be.
1. True. Indeed, I actually thought D/W scored a 96 at NHK, not 98. But keeping in mind that where D/W started last season was roughly where P/B FINISHED in terms of scoring, that they were within eight points (which I thought was six) rather frightened me. Yes, D/W need to grow with this skate, and yes - they weren't (@ NHK) what I hope they wll be.
2. You know, I see the attempt to carry through the theme. But I don't see it being successful. Pechalat in particular seemed to go blank at the oddest times and that doesn't seem in keeping with my knowledge of Chaplin films.
3. I haven't rewatched any dance yet. I'll wait until the next GP event.
4. Is it wierd that we haven't seen any dance team twice, but we've seen quite a few pairs twice (C/Y, I/M, P/T)?
Pechalat is playing a blind girl...maybe that is the reason for the blank expression?
I thought that was keeping in line with the theme, but maybe it wasn't obvious to others.
Very true, oleada. Their strategy worked out well, it shows they are the hungriest of all. I always thought P/B were insufficiently trained for the big events. This time around they are focused and rightfully so, as they are running out of time to make the move for the podium and this is it for them. Now the kerr;s and F/S look unprepared and they are at their 4th event this season, therefore their program is already refined.
As far as the theme, works very well for them and it is NOT a Chaplin comedy, indeed she portrays a blind girl.
LOVED P/B's Free Dance! So beautiful!
CBC only showed Pechalat and Bourzat. I liked their program a lot. It's not as technically good as Davis and White's but I actually find it more interesting. I watched Faiella and Scali, Hoffman and Zavozin, and most of Bobrova and Soloviev's FD on youtube. I really enjoyed the first two, and Bobrova and Soloviev's was good too, it just wasn't as interesting somehow. I prefer their SD. It's too bad Faiella and Scali were having such problems at this competition though!
Yes I have. I see that they try.
Meryl and Charlie would agree with you in some of what you say about their tango. If you check out the SA page on IN, there is an interview with them (sound only, so turn the sound up. The black page freaked me out, but that is what there is).
They did not have enough time to prepare it, and they didn't want it to be what they called "dumbed down". On viewing the tapes of it, they felt it needed to be arranged differently, as to the music, and that it was too packed with stuff, that the audience, as well as they, needed time to breathe. It will be interesting to see how they have changed the program at SA.
I think they, as well as I would disagree that the tango doesn't suit them. I would cite their 2007 OD tango in their first year in seniors:
Tango originated as a dance of Argentinian dance halls, not one about long legs and ballet positions.
Here's my favorite tango on ice (British Eurosport) Duchesnays 1988:
Another TV angle on it (Canadian coverage)
D&W have a way to go with their FD this year. But its Charlie that I think is more challenged by tango, because he does not emote as well facially as he could, IMO.

Saw the Duchesnay OSP tango in Calgary at the 1988 OWG and it was by far the most entertaining routine that day. But a lot of judges and coaches didn't like it. Audiences loved it and they even toured Champions on Ice using this tango.
I adore the Duschenay's tango..I don't believe Paul's intensity will ever be surpassed. Mind you, it was a bit of a parody ( at least ,I always took it that way ) but very cleverly observed.
Really looking forward to see how D/W's has progressed by SA. I think even without much change in facial expression ,Charlie needs to use his head more like Scott does.
Oops..have to go walk the dogs.

Grails 1.1 Beta 3 Release Notes
29th of January 2009SpringSource and the Grails development team are pleased to announce the 1.1 beta 3 release of the Grails web application development framework.Grails is a dynamic web application framework built on Java and Groovy, leveraging best of breed APIs from the Java EE sphere including Spring, Hibernate and SiteMesh. Grails brings to Java and Groovy developers the joys of convention-based rapid development while allowing them to leverage their existing knowledge and capitalize on the proven and performant APIs Java developers have been using for years. Further information about the release can be obtained using the links below:- Changelog: http://jira.grails.org/secure/ReleaseNote.jspa?projectId=10020&version=11010
- Download: http://grails.org/Download .
- Documentation: http://grails.org/doc/1.1
New Features
Standalone GORM
Grails 1.1 comes with support for using GORM outside of Grails using Spring namespace configuration to setup the necessary Hibernate SessionFactory:<gorm:sessionFactory base-package="org.grails.samples" data-source-ref="dataSource" message-source-ref="messageSource"> <property name="hibernateProperties"> <util:map> <entry key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="update"/> </util:map> </property> </gorm:sessionFactory>
class Book {
String title
Better GORM events
Previously, GORM supported beforeInsert, beforeUpdate and beforeDelete events, now there is afterInsert, afterUpdate and afterDelete to complete the picturePersistence of Collections of Basic Types
GORM now supports persisting basic types like String, Integer and so on using a join table:class Person { static hasMany = [nicknames:String] }
Persistence of Collections of Enum Types
GORM now supports persisting collections of enum types:enum VehicleStatus { OFF, IDLING, ACCELERATING, DECELARATING }
class Truck {
static hasMany = [statuses:VehicleStatus]
Read-Only Access to Objects
Persistent instances can now be loaded in a read-only state using the read method:def book = Book.read(1)
Default Sort Order
Associations can now be sorted using a default sort order declared at the class level:class Book { String title static mapping = { sort "title" } }
class Author { static hasMany = [books:Book] static mapping = { books sort:"title" } }
Batch Fetching
GORM now supports configuring batch fetching (an optimization of lazy loading) using the ORM DSL at the class level:class Book { String title static mapping = { batchSize 15 } }
class Author { static hasMany = [books:Book] static mapping = { books batchSize:15 } }
Improvements to Dynamic Finders
There is a new InList suffix that can be used with dynamic finders:def groovyBooks = Book.findByAuthorInList(['Dierk Koenig', 'Graeme Rocher'])
def books = Book.findByTitle("Groovy in Action", [cache:true] )
def books = Book.findByTitle("Groovy in Action", [lock:true] )
Legacy Mapping for Unidirectional One-to-manys
Unidirectional One-to-many associations can use the joinTable argument to alter the way they map to the underlying database:class Book { String title static belongsTo = Author static hasMany = [authors:Author] static mapping = { authors joinTable:[name:"mm_author_books", key:'mm_book_id' ] } } class Author { String name static hasMany = [books:Book] static mapping = { books joinTable:[name:"mm_author_books", key:'mm_author_id'] } }
Enhanced Enum Support
Enum types can now specify a getId() method that GORM will call to persist the state of an enum. This an alternative to using either the Enum name or the ordinal value to persist an enums state.enum Country { AUSTRIA('at'), UNITED_STATES('us'), GERMANY('de'); final String id Country(String id) { this.id = id } }
Global Plugins
Plugins can now be installed globally for all applications:grails install-plugin webtest -global
Multiple Plugin Repositories
Grails now supports the ability to configure multiple plugin repositories by providing a USER_HOME/.grails/settings.groovy file or a grails-app/conf/BuildConfig.groovy file that contains the configured repository details:grails.plugin.repos.discovery.myRepository="http://svn.codehaus.org/grails/trunk/grails-test-plugin-repo" grails.plugin.repos.distribution.myRepository="https://svn.codehaus.org/grails/trunk/grails-test-plugin-repo"
grails release-plugin -repository=myRepository
Automatic Transitive Plugin Resolution
Plugins no longer need to be checked into SVN and will automatically be installed via a plugins metadata when the application is first loaded.In addition, plugin dependencies are now resolved transitively.Plugin Scopes and Environments
Plugins can now be scoped using either the environment or predefined build scopes:def environments = ['dev', 'test'] def scopes = [excludes:'war']
Modular Application Development with Plugins
An application can now load plugins from anywhere on the file system, even if they have not been installed. Simply add the location of the (unpacked) plugin to youBuildConfig.groovy
// Useful to test plugins you are developing. grails.plugin.location.jsecurity = "/home/dilbert/dev/plugins/grails-jsecurity" // Useful for modular applications where all plugins and // applications are in the same directory. grails.plugin.location.'grails-ui' = "../grails-grails-ui"
- You are developing a plugin and want to test it in a real application without packaging and installing it first.
- You have split an application into a set of plugins and an application, all in the same "super-project" directory.
The Test Framework
The new test framework, available as a plugin for the 1.0.x series, is now integrated in Grails 1.1.The testing framework adds the capability to mock the behavior of all common types including controllers, domain class, tag libraries and url mappings allowing for shorter, fast running unit tests.class SongTests extends grails.test.GrailsUnitTestCase { void testMinimumDuration() { mockDomain(Song) def song = new Song(duration: 0) assertFalse 'validation should have failed', song.validate() assertEquals "min", song.errors.duration } }
Data Binding
Data Binding a Subset of Properties
It is now simpler to bind data to a subset of properties. Previously you could use the syntax:person.properties = params
person.properties["firstName","lastName"] = params
person.properties["firstName","lastName"].each { println it }
Data Binding for Collection Types
Grails now supports data binding to collections types including lists, sets and maps.<g:textField name="books[0].title" value="the Stand" /> <g:textField name="books[1].title" value="the Shining" /> <g:textField name="books[2].title" value="Red Madder" />
Templates and Dynamic Scaffolding
Dynamic scaffolding now uses the templates that can be installed via the install-templates
command.Support for more association types
Scaffolding now supports many-to-many and unidirectional one-to-many associations.Controllers
Handling of Duplicate Submits
Grails now features built in support for handling duplicate form submissions using the "Synchronizer Token Pattern". First you declare a token in a form:<g:form useToken="true">
method you can detect duplicate or invalid requests:withForm { // good request }.invalidToken { // bad request }
Forwarding Requests
You can now forward a request as an alternative to redirecting with the newforward
method:forward controller:"home", action:"index"
Groovy Server Pages
JSP Tag library support in GSP
GSP now supports the ability to re-use JSP tag libraries:<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %> <fmt:formatNumber value="${10}" pattern=".00"/>
<%@ taglib prefix="fmt" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" %> ${fmt.formatNumber(value:10, pattern:".00")}
Template Namespace
There is now a specialized namespace for using templates. So given a template called _tableRow.gsp:
 ${label}	 ${value}

namespace as follows:<tmpl:tableRow label="one" value="two" />
Server Side Includes
There is a new <g:include> tag that can be used to include the response of another controller, action or view inside the current view:<g:include controller="book" action="list"></g:include>
def content = include(controller:"book", action:"list")
Performance Improvements
GSPs now render an order of maginitude faster than they used to do resulting in an overall performance boost for Grails applications.Project Infrastructure
Maven integration
Grails 1.1 comes with an associated Maven plugin and archetype that allows you to build your Grails project easily using Maven. Follow the instructions here and either use the archetype to create a new Grails project, or run:mvn grails:create-pom
Ant + Ivy Integration
Grails now creates an Ant build.xml and corresponding ivy.xml file for each project allowing you to build a Grails project on any build server that supports Ant (like CruiseControl and Hudson) without needing Grails installed on the target server.Spring Namespace Support in BeanBuilder
Grails' Spring DSL has been extended to include access to the Spring namespace APIs allowing you to easily use Spring advanced AOP support (among other things):beans = { xmlns aop:"http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop" fred(Person) { name = "Fred" age = 45 } birthdayCardSenderAspect(BirthdayCardSender) aop { config("proxy-target-class":true) { aspect( id:"sendBirthdayCard",ref:"birthdayCardSenderAspect" ) { after method:"onBirthday", pointcut: "execution(void ..Person.birthday()) and this(person)" } } } }
Environment and Metadata API
There is a new API to access the current Environment:import grails.util.Environment...switch(Environment.current) { case Environment.DEVELOPMENT: configureForDevelopment() break case Environment.PRODUCTION: configureForProduction() break }
def metadata = grails.util.Metadata.current println metadata.applicationName println metadata.applicationVersion
Log4j DSL
A new Log4j DSL is available that replaces the old way of configuring Log4j:log4j = { error 'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.servlet', // controllers 'org.codehaus.groovy.grails.web.pages' // GSP warn 'org.mortbay.log' }
Flexible Build Configuration
A new grails-app/conf/BuildConfig.groovy file is available that allows you to configure different aspects of the Grails build including output paths and servers used for resolution of plugins:grails.work.dir="/tmp/work" grails.plugins.dir="/usr/local/grails/plugins" grails.project.test.reports.dir="/usr/local/grails/test-reports"
Non-interactive mode
Grails now supports a --non-interactive flag at the command line that can be passed in order to disable any user prompts:grails run-app --non-interactive
Encrypted Data Sources
DataSource passwords can now be encrypted using a supplied codec class:dataSource { username = "foo" password = "438uodf9s872398783r" passwordEncryptionCodec="my.company.encryption.BlowfishCodec" }
Upgrade notes
Grails 1.1 has a number of changes, but should be mostly backwards compatible with 1.0.x series applications. If you have issues please report them. The following is a list of known issues that need to be considered when upgrading- Plugins are now stored in your USER_HOME directory. You will need to re-install your plugins or run:
grails -Dgrails.plugins.dir=./plugins run-app
- Enums are now mapped onto the database with String values instead of ordinals by default
- jsession id is now disabled by default. See GRAILS-3364
- GSP whitespace handling has been changed for the better, you may have more whitespace than before. See GRAILS-3277
- The The grails.testing.reports.destDir config option has been replaced by grails.project.test.reports.dir
- PreInit.groovy is now BuildConfig.groovy
- The allowedMethods property in a controller should now be marked static. Non static version is deprecated but still works and will result in messages on the console.

Health care reform puts Dots on the spot
Blog Entry:
January 04, 2013 10:39 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
Many companies have big decisions to make about their health benefits in the wake of health care reform.
The Wall Street Journal
takes a close look
at how that will play out for various employers, including
Dots LLC
, the women's clothing chain based in Glenwillow.
Dots "projects that its health costs could go up by around a third because of the law,"
The Journal
reports. "That is largely because only about 55% of the employees who are currently eligible for health benefits take the coverage, and the retailer thinks that share could jump sharply."
Joanna Curran, benefits and payroll manager at Dots, tells
The Journal
that the company has been preparing for that increase for two years, trimming its costs with moves such as boosting workers' premium contributions and putting new employees into a more basic health plan.
"In coming months, Dots' top executives will have to decide what else to do. One possibility: more cost-sharing for employees," the newspaper adds. "Dots also will consider more strictly enforcing existing limits on the hours of a small group of part-timers who occasionally go over 30 a week today, to avoid the complexity of having workers bounce back and forth into the law's definition of full-time status."
Ms. Curran notes, "We are facing the fact that we are going to have to spend more money." But Dots won't drop its coverage because it would hurt recruitment and retention of employees, she says.
This and that
Savvy about money:
offers some tips
for cutting college expenses, and one section of the piece involves a sharp young man who attended
Cuyahoga Community College
Robert Villwock, 27, "found a way to knock $42,000" off the cost of his degree in business and economics by spending the first four semesters of his college career at Tri-C, Forbes.com notes. He then transferred to Ohio University in Athens to finish his school work.
"The transfer scheme works only in some states and only for students who get good enough grades to be admitted to the brand-name university," according to the website.
Then this part is fun:
A year after graduating, Villwock was a bartender at a Ruby Tuesday. A customer ordering a cheesecake lamented what cholesterol would do to his life span and said, "But in the long run we're all dead." Villwock piped in: "John Maynard Keynes couldn't have said it better." The customer, curious how a bartender would know who Keynes was, found out enough to offer the young man a job at his financial consulting firm in Akron.
Villwock leveraged the consulting experience, and some networking with Ohio U. alumni, into a still better job. He's now a compensation specialist at Towers Watson in Washington, D.C.
Good thinking:
Cleveland Indians
have done a deal with a Cincinnati company — but it's not the Reds.
A company called
, a maker of marketing software,
has added
the Indians as a customer.
"The firm's specialized software for baseball will help the club, part of Major League Baseball's American League, to adjust its marketing based on league standings or other factors," Mark Battaglia, CEO of ThinkVine, tells
The Business Courier of Cincinnati
Deal terms were not disclosed.
A Spokane, Wash.-based company
is suing
several professional sports teams — including the Indians — for breach of contract.
The Spokesman-Review
in Washington state reports that
Vizant Technologies LLC
, formerly known as P.E. Systems, recently filed lawsuits in Spokane County Superior Court against the Indians, the Detroit Lions, the Chicago White Sox and others. Vizant advises businesses on how to lower the cost of accepting electronic payments.
"Under the company's standard agreement, the client must pay a consulting fee of 50 percent of all savings if it decides to implement Vizant's program," according to the newspaper. "If the client chooses not to implement the program but still realizes some program savings, the client is obligated to pay the same consulting fee on the savings for 24 months."
Nicholas D. Kovarik, of Spokane-based Piskel Yahne Kovarik PLLC, which is representing Vizant, tells the
that the companies all stopped paying in the same time frame and may be working together.
"We think there's some conversation going on behind the scenes," he said of the sports teams. "The theme that's running through these is the bigger companies don't believe they need to pay, or if they don't pay, they're going to get a discount or a break. It's just a classic not following through with your promise."
Sad but true:
There's a spot-on comment from Cleveland City Councilman
Mike Polensek
this Reuters story
about homicide rates in various U.S. cities.
In some cities, including New York, murder rates are dropping fast, while Chicago and Detroit are seeing big spikes.
Cleveland, unfortunately, is among the latter. The city had 97 murders in 2012, up from 74 in 2011 and 84 in 2010. With a population of 393,816, that works out to 1 murder for every 4,060 people, Reuters notes.
"I attribute it to young men with low IQs carrying big guns," Mr. Polensek tells the news service. "It is just the reality of it."
In four more years …
more evidence
that Ohioans will continue to be barraged by political ads during presidential election seasons.
Bloomberg crunches some numbers from the 2012 election and finds that in just four states — Florida, North Carolina, Ohio and Virginia — was the winning candidate's margin of victory less than 5 percentage points. That was the smallest number of states below that threshold since 1984, when three states were within 5 points amid Ronald Reagan's 18-point victory in the popular vote over Democrat Walter Mondale, according to Bloomberg.
The story notes that President Barack Obama is the first president to achieve 51% of the popular vote in two elections since Republican Dwight D. Eisenhower, who did it in 1952 and 1956.
Read all about it:
The e-reader era just arrived, but now
it might be ending
, and people like Julie Curtis of Stow might be to blame.
That sounds much too harsh. Let me explain.
The Wall Street Journal
reports that market researcher IDC recently estimated 2012 global shipments of e-readers — Kindles and Nooks, primarily — at 19.9 million units, down 28% from 27.7 million units in 2011. By contrast, IDC says, there were
122.3 million
tablets — iPads, Kindle Fires, Nexus 7s, etc. — shipped last year.
In short, many people who want to read e-books rather would do so reading on tablets than dedicated e-readers.
Also, "One problem is that some users who bought e-readers see no particular urgency to buy another,"
The Journal
reports. Ms. Curtis, a substance-abuse counselor, tells the newspaper she is devoted to her two-year-old Kindle.
"It works fine, I really have no reason to get a new one," she says. But she adds, "If I did ever want to upgrade, it would probably be to a tablet, like the Kindle Fire."
True stories:
If you're a fan of graphic novels,
this best-of-2012 list
compiled by The AV Club includes a couple nonfiction choices with Northeast Ohio ties.
The first one is indeed graphic: It's cartoonist John "Derf" Backderf's
"My Friend Dahmer,"
a memoir about growing up as a classmate in the Akron area of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer. The book "describes how Derf and his buddies became 'fans' of Dahmer's quirky behavior, though none of them knew what Dahmer was up to when he returned to his broken home," The AV Club says. "Derf chillingly illustrates the superficiality of most high-school relationships, where the people involved are so absorbed in their own lives that they fail to see the desperate characters who dwell among them."
At No. 4 on the nonfiction list is
"Not the Israel My Parents Promised Me,"
by the late Harvey Pekar and JT Waldman. It's "structured like a long conversation taking place over the course of one day in Cleveland, in which the two men explore the origins and consequences of Zionism," according to The AV Club.

Police ID Concord shooting victims
Published 12:00 am Wednesday, July 3, 2013
CONCORD — Authorities have identified the people involved in Tuesday shootings that left two dead and one injured.
Sharon Cook Crumitie, 55, and James Luther Blanks, 49, were found dead when officers responded to a Gibson Drive home near downtown Concord to investigate a reported shooting. Timothy Lavaun Crumitie, 47, had been shot but was alive. He was taken to Carolinas Medical Center-NorthEast.
According to a news release, Timothy Crumitie called 911 around 3:15 p.m. Tuesday and said he and his wife Sharon had been in their garage and were shot by an unknown man.
Crumitie told police that after being shot, he fought with the assailant and was able to take the gun away. He then shot the man, later identified as Blanks.
Police are now investigating to determine whether any connection between Blanks and the Crumities existed prior to the shootings, the news release said.

Defining the Genetic Basis for the Development of Primary Pigmented Nodular Adrenocortical Disease (PPNAD) and the Carney Complex

- How to Read a Study Record
Lentiginosis refers to groups of diseases marked by the presence of pigmented spots on the skin. These conditions are most commonly associated with multiple tumors and changes in hormone producing glands. The cause of these diseases is unknown, but researchers suggest there may be a level of inheritance involved in their development. Meaning to say that some of these diseases may "run in the family" and be passed down form generation to generation.
Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) is a pituitary-independent, primary adrenal form of hypercortisolism characterized by;
- < TAB> Resistance to suppression by the drug dexamethasone
- < TAB> The body is unable to secrete cortisol in a normal rhythm
- < TAB> Distinct microscopic changes of both adrenal glands
PPNAD can be associated with tumors (myxomas) of the skin, heart, breast, tumors (swannomas) of the nerve sheaths, pigmented spots (nevi and lentigines) of the skin, growth hormone (GH) producing tumors of the pituitary gland, and tumors of the testicles, ovaries, and thyroid gland. In the presence of these associations the condition is referred to as the Carney Complex. Presently there are no tests for screening of PPNAD and the Carney Complex. In addition, it is unknown how these conditions are genetically transferred from generation to generation.
This study proposes to use standard methods of clinical testing for endocrine and nonendocrine diseases and genetic testing in order to;
- < TAB> Define the genetic basis for PPNAD and/or the Carney Complex.
- < TAB> Determine the molecular changes associated with the development of the tumors.
- < TAB> Identify carriers of the disease.
- < TAB> Determine the prognosis for carriers and affected individuals.
- < TAB> Provide sufficient data for genetic counseling of families with PPNAD and/or Carney Complex.< TAB>

Study Type: | Observational |
Official Title: | Definition of the Genotype and Clinical Phenotype of Primary Pigmented Nodular Adrenocortical Disease (PPNAD), Carney Complex, Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome and Related Conditions |
Estimated Enrollment: | 99999999 |
Study Start Date: | January 1995 |
Primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD) is a pituitary-independent, primary adrenal form of hypercortisolism characterized by (a) resistance to suppression by dexamethasone and abolition of the normal diurnal rhythm of cortisol secretion, and (b) distinctive, bilateral, histopathologic changes of the adrenal glands, such as the formation of variably sized, pigmented nodular adenomas, loss of normal zonation and atrophy of the extranodular cortex. PPNAD can be associated with a variety of other manifestations, such as myxomas of the skin, heart, breast and other sites, psammomatous melanotic swannomas involving the peripheral nervous system (PNS), lentigines and blue nevi of the skin and mucosae, growth hormone (GH)-producing adenomas of the pituitary, testicular Sertoli cell tumors, and possibly other neoplasms (adrenocortical and thyroid follicular carcinoma, and ovarian cysts). These associations constitute a distinct clinical syndrome, Carney complex, a genetic syndrome. At present, there are no standardized screening tests for the members of families with affected individuals and the molecular mechanism(s) of this hereditary single and/or multiple neoplasia syndrome have not been completely elucidated (e.g. patients who meet clinical criteria for Carney complex but test negative for PRKAR1A mutation . This study seeks to define the genetic basis of PPNAD and/or Carney complex in sporadic and familial cases and the molecular pathogenesis of their tumors, to identify the carriers of the familial forms of the disease, and to determine the prognosis for carriers and affected individuals. The methods include standard clinical testing for endocrine and nonendocrine pathologic conditions of the subjects of the study, linkage analysis with DNA markers from areas of the genome likely to harbor the responsible gene(s), and finally genetic screening of these genes. Molecular studies of the tumors of the patients will provide additional clues for the pathophysiologic mechanisms leading to PPNAD/Carney complex. The study will ultimately provide sufficient data for genetic counseling of families with PPNAD and/or Carney complex, and, ultimately, the means for genetic screening and prenatal testing.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 3 Years and older |
Genders Eligible for Study: | Both |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
All patients with PPNAD and/or Carney Complex by history and their siblings, children and parents. Additional relatives and their families that are suspected to have the same disorder on clinical grounds will be recruited:
- PPNAD patients will be included if their diagnosis is fully documented. First-degree relatives of patients with the disease will be accepted also for evaluation, or if already conclusively evaluated elsewhere, for DNA linkage analysis only.
- Patients with suspected Carney complex will be accepted for evaluation and/or DNA analysis for linkage, if they have at least two of the following:
- cardiac myxoma
- cutaneous myxoma
- breast myxoma
- oral myxoma
- myxoma of the external ear
- spotty mucocutaneous pigmentation (lentigines)
- testicular tumor
- pituitary growth hormone secreting adenoma
- nerve tumor, such as psammomatous melanotic schwannoma
first-, second-, or third-degree relatives with Carney complex
(c) Patients with one of the familial lentiginosis syndromes: Peutz-Jeghers and LEOPARD syndrome, other forms of familial lentiginosis.
For DNA analysis and linkage study:
1. Unwillingness to participate.
For clinical evaluation and DNA analysis/linkage study:
- Patients with major illnesses, such as severe renal failure, restrictive or obstructive lung disease, cardiac disease, anemia and/or terminal cancer that will not be able to undergo appropriate testing or the stress of hospitalization. Also, patients with Carney complex and a known heart tumor (heart myxoma) will not be able to enter the clinical part of the study until after surgical treatment of their tumor. These patients, however, will be asked to participate in the DNA analysis study.

PREPARE cake batter and bake in 13x9-inch baking pan as directed on package. Cool in pan 10 min. Carefully invert onto wire rack; cool completely. Meanwhile, pour milk into medium bowl. Add dry pudding mix. Beat with wire whisk 2 min. Gently stir in whipped topping; cover. Refrigerate 30 min. or until thickened.
TRANSFER cake to cake board or tray. Arrange peanut butter cookies, side-by-side, down center of cake to resemble six bodies laying next to each other in a bed. Spread pudding mixture onto top and sides of cake, completely covering cookies and cake. Gently press fruit rolls into pudding on sides of cake to resemble a bed skirt.
PLACE 1 wafer at one end of each body for the head. Use decorating gel to draw the eyes, nose and mouth on each wafer. Tint coconut with food coloring; sprinkle at top of each wafer for the hair. Add jelly beans as desired to top of cake to resemble a polka-dotted blanket. Store in refrigerator.
