Hi I am writing Junit test cases on web service client. I am using java url to call the web service wsdl. But I was told to write these test cases on the client.
So the business logic is in server side, then how can I test on client side when there is no business logic on client side.
Please let me know.

Better to cry wolf than to cry laterApril 9, 2014In case you hadn't noticed, Minot and the surrounding area is becoming a dangerous place to live.... rickrodMDN, good article, but what ever happened to the adults last March who were firing a weapon at another car being chased? No charges? No Trial? just let go or WHAT. 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » PoeticJustice16"Better to cry wolf than to cry later" is a ridiculous and utterly meaningless statement. FAIL. This newspaper continues to be the area's biggest embarrassment. 2 Agrees | 1 Disagrees | Report Abuse » BeautifulDayI understand the theory of this piece, but, for a newspaper, it should have been written better. It was not just a few weeks ago that the shots were being fired at houses or that the fuel thefts occurred, at least not according to the MDN. It has been approximately two months since either of those things were in the news. And I believe "better safe than sorry" would have been a more appropriate idiom to use. 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » BeautifulDayrick, I believe this is what you're referring to: minotdailynews****/page /content.detail/id/578192/Minot-men-sentenced-for-chase--shooting.html?nav=5010 0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse » Showing 6 of 6 comments

Bethany Miles is a child psychologist. She lives alone and has a few good friends. She is devoted to her career but has never forgotten Traian Komar.
Traian is Kan Asma aristocrat and is destined to find a mate among his kind. He was once imprisoned by the enemies of his kind and his psyche is still not completely healed. He is slow to trust and does not always follow the rules.
Traian spies Bethany in passing and notes her resemblance to his younger sister's best friend. He is very drawn to her which has not happened since Bethany's disappearance many years before. His attraction to her puts them both in danger. He is forbidden to mate with a human which causes problems with his family and places them both in danger. In addition, outside forces are determined to wipe out the Kan Asma.
This is an exciting tale with an interesting spin on vampire fiction. The Kan Asma are not your usual vampires and Traian stands out even among his kind. His determination to be with Bethany and to protect her is very noble. Bethany is an admirable heroine. She is dedicated to helping people and has overcome a devastating attack to become a strong and brave adult. I look forward to seeing Traian's elder brother, Mikhail get his comeuppance and find a woman who can keep up with him.

no its too heavy on computers resources for video....it is why its slow to adopt.ITS like needing a brand new pc and computer with latest graphics card ( something not that many are buying into these days ) to use your web browser? HAHA not....

Not if you are actually logging water.
no calories, no caffeine, no sugar are usually what is considered 'loggable' under the water category.
they say you don't really need 8 cups of water per day, this may be true, however I know that I, personally, lose weight more easily when I drink more water. I love water, and other than coffee or the occasional glass of wine, it's all I drink -- I only log water and drink about 15-20 cups per day
I don't-- but that's because I'm not a habitual water drinker. Knowing that I drank at least of 8 glasses of nothing but water has helped me to increase my intake and has helped me to avoid other less healthy choices since my body is not thirsty.
I've been able to stop drinking most soda, decreased my coffee intake drastically, and don't drink a lot of juice unless its the 100% fruit juice with no sugar added stuff. A glass of milk has been my nighttime ritual since I was a little girl and I only have it 2-3 times a week now-- it's A LOT of calories to consume right before bed for me.
Should I count coffee when I log my water intake? I take my coffee : black, no sugar milk or cream.
It depends on you and your goals really. Yes, technically it counts toward water as liquid and hydration, but if you're looking at it from a weight loss prospective, and are trying to stop drinking too much milk, juice, soda, etc and drink more water to flush toxins and lose weight, then you might not want to count it..The only things you definately don't want to count towards water intake, (which also answers your question, wwguy, ) are caffinated beverages....(caffinated coffee, caffinated tea, caffinated sodas, etc...). You can count decaffinated options of these drinks, but you don't want to count the caffinated beverages because they cause some water loss instead of hydrating you. And you also don't want to count alchohol because it has the same effect. :)
Thanks for you clear specific information.
No, don't log milk. Milk is milk. Skim milk, almond milk, and soy milk have some water in them. But any drink where it would be difficult to know how much of the contents are water, i.e., soda, diet soda, milk, juice, anything with caffeine, etc., I do not count as water. I DO, however, count anything that I know the water content of as water, i.e., water w/ crystal light, decaf coffee, decaf tea (I don't typically count tea or coffee because the caffeine), carbonated water. While I avoid drinking more than a glass or two of water with crystal light, I find that it sometimes helps me meet my water quota if I can have a few glasses of flavored water.
Even though we know the water content of coffee, I do not count caffeinated products because they are a diarrhetic.
Star has given you the most appropriate answer - it depends on your goals.
However to be clear, liquid that is not water, caffeinated beverages, and even water contained in foods do contribute to your body's hydration. Coffee and other caffeinated beverages are not diuretics (references are listed at the bottom of the page). Beverages that are not pure water (milk, soda, juice) are mostly water.

Holiday Roast Turkey....Cake that is!!!!
How to make a Roast Turkey Cake
I was really intimidated to even do one of these!! But I finally got my nerve up to try it. I've seen so many awesome roast turkey cakes in the last few years and everyone said that they were easy to do...?!!! Really?!!! Um...well, you be the judge!! I took this cake to our Thanksgiving dinner and everyone was wondering why the turkey was on the dessert table!!! That was a great compliment!!!
So to get on with how I did mine:
I first made the wings and leg bones so that they had a little time to set up. I shaped some gumpaste into a basic wing shape.
Then I used a ball tool to give the wing some bone definition.
Then flattening out the edge to make it look more bony
For the leg bones, I put some gumpaste on a skewer, rolling to the length I wanted. I used a melon baller to round out the end of the bone. Cut the skewer to desired length also.
For the cake, I used two 12 inch round pans.
The first cut is the hardest!!! I traced a shape out with a knife before cutting. Set the two cut ends to the side and save for the legs.
Then round out the top corners and underside, until you get the shape desired.
Cut a half circle out of the pieces left of the cake to make the legs and put them on either side.
Pipe on the icing using a bag without a tip. Smooth with a spatula. Add the bones into the end of the legs. Let crust over and then smooth with a Viva paper towel, remembering to press in the underside of the turkey to give it a 3-D dimension. If you can find a paper towel with a dot pattern, use it now to give the turkey a skin-like appearance. I couldn't find a dot pattern paper towel so I used one of my plastic texture sheets that had a somewhat dot pattern. You can also use the plastic weaved bag from onions. I didn't have one so .....
At this stage of the of the cake, you can add shadow anywhere that's needed. It's probably easier if you have an air brush, but I don't have one!! I did take some black dust and put on the edges that would darken in the oven as if it here a real turkey. I used a fine mist spray bottle filled with warm water, corn syrup and brown food coloring. As you can see from the pictures, the spray would run down the side of the turkey. I guess it has that "basted" look!!
To finish, I put my turkey on a platter that was purchased at the Dollar Store! I know, I'm cheap!! I made lettuce out of fondant and veggies that where a fondant/gumpaste mix. I also put some coarse sugar sprinkles on to make it look like seasoning.
Here is a close up of the carrots, peas, sugared cranberries and yes those are supposed to be potatoes!! Some people thought they were eggs!!
Take any remaining cake scraps and cube them for the stuffing, filling the "cavity".
Below are some pictures of Jacque's turkey!!! She did such an awesome job that I have to show it off!!! i love hers!!! I will let her tell you how she did hers!!
Rhonda, That was a fabulous step by step!! Thank you!
I am not sure I can add much to that, but I did a couple of things differently and give credit for some of the techniques to the very talented Cece Gardon, who demonstrated her roast turkey cake for the SouthEast Texas Cake Club last November.
I wish I been given the luxury of time to take "in process" pics, but it was a crazy busy week.
First, I baked mine in 3 oval pans along with two cupcakes. I stacked the ovals and sculpted it ( making the first cuts can be very intimidating!), sloping down toward the front and sides, then carved into a modified V shape in the back.
For the drumsticks, I stuffed two waffle cones approximately halfway with Rice Crispy treats. Then the cupcakes were placed in the top to round out the drumstick, and the shaped fondant for the leg bone was attached to the pointed end of the cone. I crumb coated the legs with buttercream.
I then filled and crumb coated the entire turkey body, attached the drumsticks with skewer into the body of the turkey; and covered it all with fondant, using the texturing techniques described by Rhonda . Then the wings, as created above, were positioned into place.
With the leftover cake scraps, I cut 1/2" cubes, toasted them, and mixed with vanilla custard.
The custard will help adhere the cubes to each other and to the cake.
The lettuce, cranberries and oranges were created from chocolate clay.
Using an airbrush, the turkey, fruit and veggies were colored for more texture and effect.
Notice that for my "platter", I used Mame's Autumn leaf tutorial to create leaves and placed them on a oval cake board, lightly dusted randomly with gold luster dust to give the appearance of a porcelain platter.

Great cakes, thanks for all your tips. I plan on adding them to my list to hand out the next time I am teaching a "turkey cake" class. Here is a tip on how I get that "turkey skin" look. I roll up a terry cloth face cloth and pat the iced cake with it. It also works well when you are doing a football cake and want that "pig skin" look.

Re: do you carry an acoustic Guitar?
Whoa Batman, very nice looking guitar, beautiful wood. Are the f-holes painted on or do they have some electronic function?
I love gorgeous wood, but it's not on mine. I sometimes call the vintage series Martin I have "Jane" as in "Plain Jane". Not a bit of decoration, beautiful sound only. The spruce top has vertical grain lines about 100/th of an inch apart near the bridge, opening rapidly as it approaches the sides to a wide spacing of around 1/8th inch. I've wondered if this contributes to the nice sound, being stiffer where far from the side support, and looser where reinforced by the sides of the box, so it can still move/resonate across the whole top.
No label in there, I just looked. Stamped into the neck block is the model, "Vintage Series OOO-28VS".
Not that my guitars have a hard life
, but I notice the brass plated snaps on the case are slightly corroded, and the chrome? tuning knobs are very dull. The guitar itself is still in beautiful shape, the humidity affecting the metal poorly but the wood likes it.
It's more important to me to use my good things while I'm alive. For awhile I shot competitive smallbore riflery. I'd always been the best shot I knew till I joined a club where I was the worst, and the best (from NH) seemed to be from another planet. They kindly coached me. I purchased an Anschutz Olympic style rifle, very heavy and adjustable, for several thousand dollars. I have a Unertl 2 inch scope with actual black widow spider silk crosshairs in it. At first I was afraid to mar the beautiful surface on the extra fine wood. Then one day during a match I noticed my trigger finger touched the fine wood stock as I released the position adjustable trigger.
At that point I made a life decision to do what's best. I pulled out my sheath knife and carved off the offending piece of the stock, thereby destroying the resale value. I also went on the become (in time) state champion about 6 times over. One year after quitting I went back to my last state championship to allow the new champ to beat the old. I won again and never went back.
My point???????????
Do what's best for your short life, never mind resale value. Take your good guitars with you. Don't worry about wearing things out, use them. If you use up/wear out your rifle/sailboat/guitar that's good, you used it enough and it's time to get a new one.

For that reason, we're taking a look back at Pazz & Jop 2012 to drill down into the ballots of contributors and voters who participated. Maybe amongst the rubble we'll find clues about what lies ahead for music lovers in 2013. Here, Noisey's Drew Millard defends his ballot.

powered by AFI
According to a Hollywood Reporter news item, and a modern interview with producer and co-author Richard Maibaum, Paramount originally intended for John Farrow to direct this film, but Farrow withdrew over disagreements about the production. (Farrow's daughter, Mia Farrow, later appeared as "Daisy" in Paramount's 1974 production of The Great Gatsby.) Information in the MPAA/PCA Collection at the AMPAS Library reveals the following information about the production: Paramount first submitted a draft of the story in February 1946, which the PCA rejected due its inclusion of "illicit sex and adultery, without sufficient compensating moral values." In April 1946, in a letter regarding four screenplays, including The Great Gatsby, PCA director Joseph I. Breen requested that Paramount "dismiss from further consideration...any thought of making [The Great Gatsby] into [a] screenplay."
Paramount continued to submit story outlines to the PCA. However, in June 1946, Breen noted in a letter that "to salvage this story and to produce it as a motion picture at this time, would be a very definite disservice to this industry as a whole" and recommended that the filmmakers take up the matter with the PCA's Board of Directors. Almost a year later, Paramount submitted a "rough treatment" of the screenplay to the PCA, and noted in a letter that "Maibaum has done a swell job of capturing the moral flavor that was so necessary to make the story acceptable." Breen responded that the basic story was indeed acceptable, although he noted in his February 1947 letter that "we believe it will be necessary to remove the suicide on the part of Wilson [and] the second part [which] has a reference to the characterization of Mr. Buchanan as a man who has had adulterous affairs."
In a 1973 interview in Los Angeles Times, Maibaum noted that Breen suggested adding a prologue to the story, and Maibaum ultimately complied by including on "Gatsby's" tombstone a biblical quote from Proberbs 14:12: "There is a way which seemeth right unto a man but the end thereof are the ways of death." In the interview, Maibaum concludes that although the quote "seemed apt enough at the time...I think now it was anti-Fitzgerald, too explicit, too much on the nose....Fitzgerald wasn't a moralizer." Portions of the film differ significantly from the novel, such as the prologue, the sequence featuring "Gatsby's" pre-Egg years and the final scene depicting a definite romance between "Nick" and "Jordan." Reviews such as Hollywood Reporter remarked that "some changes have been made in the story, especially in providing a different background for the hero's youth" and that there was "too much moralizing in the dialogue-heavy script," while the New Yorker reviewer noted that "the players bear little resemblance to the characters created by Fitzgerald." The New York Times reviewer added that unlike Gatsby's novel, "the flavor of the Prohibition era is barely reflected in this new film."
Although actor Alan Ladd was announced for the lead role as early as 1946, because of the lengthy delay in production, he reportedly threatened to take a suspension until the studio proceeded with the film. According to the Maibaum interview, this, along with the PCA's approval of the script, compelled the studio to finally begin production. A Hollywood Reporter news item indicated that the wood-panelled library seen in "Gatsby's" mansion was purchased by the studio from the Hearst collection.
In 1926, Paramount made a silent version of Fitzgerald's novel, directed by Herbert Brenon and starring Warner Baxter, Lois Wilson and Neil Hamilton (see AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1921-30; F2.2225). Francis Ford Coppola produced Paramount's third adaptation in 1974, which was directed by Jack Clayton and starred Robert Redford, Mia Farrow and Sam Waterston.

Roma captain Francesco Totti admits he hopes this season's successful Champions League run will make him a genuine contender for the Ballon d'Or.
After victory over Real Madrid, Totti said: "I know this is a very important tournament if you want to win the Ballon d'Or. I hope the last few years of my professional career help me, in this sense.
"It has been a great feat.
"We were conscious of being able to win against a great side like Real.
"The truth is, I am not fully fit," confessed Totti. "But in the last three weeks I have found my best form. I have trained everyday and this has helped my condition."

Kim Kardashian reportedly wants to "break away" from her TV show.
The reality star and her family are the focus of hit program Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Kim and her boyfriend Kanye West recently welcomed their first child, daughter North, into the world.
Since becoming a mother it is thought the raven-haired beauty is happy to step back from the limelight and raise her daughter away from the camera. She is also reportedly planning to move to a secret location where she can't be filmed.
"You won't be seeing North even once on the new season. Kim decided no way is she going to be part of this circus," a source told New York Daily News' Confidenti@l. "Kim doesn't want to film this show anymore. She's changing her image and breaking away from the family. She'll be moving into her house, but doesn't want the cameras inside her new house."
Kim recently dropped her long-time publicist Jill Fritzo and replaced her with Ina Treciokas, who represents celebrities including Sarah Jessica Parker. After Jill worked with Katie Holmes to help bring her into the fashion world, Kim apparently hopes she can undergo a similar transformation and break into the world of fashion.
"With Ina, Kim's goal is to be transformed from a weekly magazine star to a monthly magazine star. She wants to be a fashion icon and off these weeklies that delve into her personal life. The one thing she wants more than anything is the cover of Vogue," the source added.
This move is thought to have hurt her siblings and mother Kris, who has taken on lots of business and press-related work for the family.
Season eight of Keeping Up with the Kardashians began in June and will continue through this month.
It is also thought Kim's sister Khloé will be absent from the next series due to her troubled marriage to Lamar Odom and his alleged crack cocaine use.

Germantown resident Noleta Jansen is part of a pro bono clinic that helps parents of special needs adults become court-appointed guardians.
Caring for a developmentally disabled child often brings challenges, and sometimes more so when the child reaches adulthood. "The age of 18 is the time when parents no longer have the legal right to make decisions for their child," according to Germantown resident Noleta Jansen, an attorney with the firm Whyte Hirschboeck Dudek, Milwaukee. It can make an already difficult situation more complex, which is why Jansen, along with a small group of her colleagues, established a pro bono clinic to help parents who would otherwise not be able to afford an attorney to become court-appointed guardians.
The Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Inc. Guardianship Clinic has assisted 18 families since it was set up in 2005. The children have a wide array of disabilities, from autism to severe mental retardation. When Children's Hospital social workers identify a family who needs the clinic's help, they contact Jansen and her colleagues. The guardians of a child might not always be the parents. Sometimes they are grandparents or other family members. "We want to make sure we have someone who is able to make medical decisions," Jansen says. "Each situation is different and has different circumstances."
Jansen would like to see the clinic reach more people. "It's gratifying to be able to give something that makes these families lives a little easier."

Magnitude 6.7 quake off British Columbia coast
-A A +AThursday, April 24, 2014
PORT ALICE, British Columbia — The U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Earthquake Information Center said a magnitude 6.7 quake has been recorded in the Pacific Ocean off the northwest corner of British Columbia's Vancouver Island.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
The U.S. National Tsunami Warning Center in Palmer, Alaska, said there is no danger of a tsunami from the Wednesday night quake.
The quake hit at 8:10 p.m. local time and was centered about 40 kilometers southwest of Port Alice, British Columbia, and about 450 kilometers northwest of Seattle, Washington. It occurred at a depth of 22 kilometers.
Within a half hour, nearly 200 people had logged on to the USGS earthquake information site to report having felt the quake.
Port Hardy resident Jennifer Nickerson said the quake caused lights to sway and the fish tank in the hotel where she works to rock. (AP)

Hey everyone,
Saw this game in my local used game store and thought for $13 it would be worth a try, played multiplayer to level 5 and then was forced to buy the $10 online ID so i could level up farther, which i had no issue doing because this really is a great game and revolutionary compared to derpy CoD. I was happy to support them for making the Battle Point system so we don't need to rely on/rage about kill streaks. So i bought the online pass last night and continued playing and was ranking up real fast because I was getting the hang of the game and owning, got to about level 31 (in one night 4-5 hours of play) o.0. Woke up today and logged on and suddenly I am level 70 -.- which means I somehow got around ~1 million XP or something.
So i have all the guns/vehicle add ons unlocked so shrug my shoulders, make some new loadouts and start playing again. After 3 matches I am level 75, and after muting everyone in the lobby and still hearing people talk, it is obvious that this game is hacked just like CoD
It's really a shame because this game is awesome and I was pumped to level up through ridiculous awesome XP from the parrot drone, but now that i am level 75 without doing any of the work this game just feels like fail... Getting a 5 kill white phosphorus airstrike for the first time was awesome but now there is no point other than to own people since I've had this game for one day and already maxed out -.-
For some reason I really enjoy gaining XP and leveling up through my own work and I have been robbed of that by hackers, all the end game rifles and rewards that I was excited to earn were given to me by hackers and now the feeling of achievement and progress that made this awesome is gone.
Any of you have this issue? And is there a way to reset our XP/Level without hacks? Or anyway to avoid hackers messing with our XP and level? Really stinks because this game was more fun than CoD ever was, Homefront 2 (protected from Hackers) please!!

I've looked into this, and I think you can get controller hacks that swing your aim to headshot height, and there may be others. Needless to say, I never use these, and never intend to.
As to your suddenly being max level - yes, this happened to me and my friend as well a while back. I was level 50-ish and he was pushing 60. Very odd. Never worked out why, but I think this was a game issue and not hackers.
You're right though, playing the game now is still quite fun, but it loses a bit of satisfaction when you've no more levelling to do.
I think it's still a good blast though, as long as you get to a server with good clean players, and not someone with scores such as 54 kills and 5 deaths.

Arlington, home of great pitching?
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network)
- Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, home to the Texas Rangers, has always been known as a hitter's paradise.
Some of it has to do with all the offensive firepower the team has amassed, but there is also the extreme summer heat which helps baseballs fly out of the park at a crazy rate and what seems like a wind tunnel helping anything hit toward right center.
Which makes it all the more interesting and out of the ordinary that this year's Rangers team is leading the American League in fewest runs per game (3.59) and is top five in ERA, WHIP, strikeouts, strikeout-to-walk ratio and team shutouts.
For fantasy owners, the obvious question is, can it last? Or should they "sell" on their Texas pitchers while the player values are at their highest point?
Let's look at the key pitchers and analyze each situation:
Yu Darvish -
Darvish began his professional baseball career in Japan and after seven stellar seasons with Nippon he arrived on the American shores in 2012 and continued to pitch at an All-Star level (16-9, 3.90 ERA, 1.280 WHIP). He's been even better in his first eight starts of 2013, going 6-1 with a 2.73 ERA, 0.911 WHIP and a league-leading 80 strikeouts in 52 2/3 innings. Although his ERA and WHIP are higher in Arlington than on the road, he's a stunning 13-2 in front of a home crowd. A fourth-round selection on draft day, Darvish has pitched like a first-rounder and we expect that to continue throughout the season.
Derek Holland -
Holland has managed to win 28 games over the past two seasons, but statistically his other numbers have never been particularly impressive. A career 4.56 ERA, 1.325 WHIP and a strikeout rate of 7.4/9 IP has never made him a sought-after fantasy property. This year, he's started out 3-2 with an eye- catching 2.93 ERA and 1.066 WHIP. Fantasy owners should consider his performance to date a mirage and not get caught up in the hype. His home ERA of 1.57 is unsustainable and his strikeout rate continues to hover below eight.
Alexi Ogando -
Ogando is the Rangers' "do-everything" guy. When they need a starter, he starts; when they need a long reliever, he's there; and he even saved three games last season when called upon. Injuries have forced him into a starting role this season and he's posted a 3-2 record with a solid 3.09 ERA. He's another low strikeout pitcher who has already walked more batters in 43 2/3 innings than he did all of last season. Other than accumulating wins, we think Ogando is more valuable to the Rangers than to fantasy owners.
Nick Tepesch -
Tepesch is a 24-year-old rookie who has been forced into the starting rotation because of injuries to Matt Harrison, Neftali Feliz and Colby Lewis. He's 3-3 with a 4.03 ERA and 1.263 WHIP. His minor league career is nondescript and we haven't seen anything to get excited about. Leave him as a free agent.
Justin Grimm -
Grimm looked special in April, posting a 2-0 record with a stunning 1.59 ERA and 1.176 WHIP, but May has been a disaster. An 0-3 record, 7.02 ERA and 1.800 WHIP is likely to get him a one-way trip to Triple-A Round Rock. If you claimed him off the waiver wire in April, it's now time to cut him loose.
Matt Harrison -
A second back surgery in April leaves Harrison's 2013 availability in doubt. Too bad as he's been a decent low-end-of-the-rotation fantasy option who posted 32 wins over the past two seasons with a 3.34 ERA.
Neftali Feliz -
Feliz is recovering from Tommy John surgery and is on schedule to return sometime late this season. The 2010 AL Rookie of the Year earned 72 saves over a two-year period, but when the team tried to make him a starter he injured his elbow. At this point, Feliz has no fantasy value.
Colby Lewis -
Lewis (March elbow surgery) was recently sent out on a rehab assignment, but was experiencing discomfort in his right triceps and may have his late May return delayed. He's been the definition of a .500 pitcher during his three seasons with the Rangers (44-42) with a 3.93 ERA and 1.175 WHIP.
Joe Nathan -
Nathan has continued to be a top closer despite the move from pitching-friendly Minnesota to Arlington. He saved 37 games last season and has 12 this season without a blown save. His 2.72 ERA, 1.084 WHIP and strikeout- per-inning average are all top-notch numbers, which should continue throughout the remainder of the season.

thank you
I agree with DM here.
Trust me, I have seen couples straight out of HS make the mistake of getting married and then a couple of years later. It's over. Just too young. Sad, too.
Friddle, you have plenty of time. Enjoy life as your own person. Enjoy it with your friend. Have fun. Learn. Grow. As you learn how life can be rather rude, this will help you "endure" the times in a marriage that will come eventually.
Happily married 15 years next month. Just remember. In a marriage, you have to give a lot, and take a lot.....think about it :D :D
thank you
If you don't take anything these guys said to heart, listen to me, I know first hand on what it is all about getting married young these days, and I say don't do it!!! I am 22 and now looking at a potential Divorce :(, which is not cool! People change very quickly and its just not worth it right now. If its meant to be, it will happen, don't rush it.
Anyways, back to the picture thread :)
I listened to those guys, they gave good advice.
Sorry about the divorce, that is always sad to hear.
Thank you
If that is what you were looking for then DO NOT GET MARRIED.Quote:
I was looking for something along the lines of that
If that is in your heart now, it will never work.
anyone for pics ...........anyone ?
Okay, I am game!
Friddle-- you will do what you want eventually, but if you want the advice of a lady, I offer this... Wait till your late twenties to early thirties. That gives both of you time to develope into what you will want to be for the rest of your lives. It will also allow you both time to learn to be responsible for your selves before trying to take on the obligation of some one else. I am not trying to dampen your spirit, just temporing it with a dose of reality. Almost half of all marriges in younger age groups end in divorce. You can get through it if it comes to that, but start bringing children into the picture and imagine what that will do?????
Think long and hard..
Learning to truly love is like watching the night sky come up over the horizon, first you see one star, then another, and soon the whole sky is filled with millions of stars, and billions more we don't see. true love is like that- it starts with one thing learned,lessons hard and rewarding, until after years, you realize that some one special has grown to be a part of you and you know your future--what ever it holds will be shared even at the darkest moments.
Don't rush- don't push and don't feel like it must be at this exact moment. Love that is true comes with time-- it is not spontaneous like combustion. That would be lust.;)
Sassy- Very well put!!!
weruj1...is that you or Uncle Festor from the Adams Family????:D
Sassy, only a Lady could have put it that way. ;)

MARY THOMAS PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE WRITES- June 12,2013.
Public and juried components evolve and expand at Three Rivers Arts Festival:
Highlights include works that combine mastery of technique and refined aesthetic decision-making, including Shawn Quinlan's "PA Fracking Quilt."
MEG COX THE WALL STREET JOURNAL WRITES- May 23,2009.
One exhibit that's worth a special trip is Quilt National, a biennial juried exhibition in Athens, Ohio, that's considered the premiere art-quilt showcase. This year's crop seems especially accomplished, diverse and powerful. Some quilts are breathtaking re-imaginings of familiar designs; others are political statements. Edgy protest pieces are a staple of art quilt circles, and there are several at this show, including Shawn Quinlan's "God Bless America," which pictures Jesus in a sport coat pointing to a flag pin on his lapel, a reference to criticism of President Barack Obama for not wearing one. Mr. Quinlan's work has attracted controversy in the past: Earlier this spring, his quilt "Jesus Get Your Gun" was one of the quilts featured in an issue of the magazine Mark Lipinski's Quilter's Home that Jo-Ann Fabrics banned from its stores. Show rules require entries to be fabric or "fabric-like material," composed of two complete layers held together by stitching. Of the 87 quilts showing this year, 13 are from outside the U.S. "Our instructions were to choose the work that just grabbed us," says quilt artist Sue Benner, who with two other artist-jurors sorted through 1,000 submissions. For anybody who still thinks the phrase "quilt art" is an oxymoron, this show punches back with a resounding "hell, no."
MARY THOMAS PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE WRITES- September 17,2009.
Associated Artists of Pittsburgh's 99th annual exhibition is one for the books. Juror Doryun Chong, assistant curator of painting and sculpture at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, selected 102 works by 74 artists from 516 entries by 277 artists.In his juror's statement, he writes, "I like to think that my aesthetics is not doctrinaire but rather pliable so that it is easily intrigued, swayed and reshaped." It's refreshing to find such a prestigious contemporary curator open to a true diversity of expression. Fiber artists admirably surpass log cabin patterns, commenting on national politics (Penny Mateer's outraged "Damn Good Whacking #5 Protest Series"), community (Kitty Spangler's optimistic "Pittsburgh Neighborhoods, Tied Together") and culture (Shawn Quinlan's incendiary "No Escape"). It is its heritage that most contributes to AAP's strength. As the organization gears up for its centennial exhibition next year, it's important that it continues to weave its history into its future.
KURT SHAW PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW WRITES- February 11,2007. Symbols also are fodder for quilt maker Shawn Quinlan. Most days, Quinlan is bombarded with images related to news, media and popular culture -- he works for WTAE as a video editor. So it's no wonder that the use of multitudinous imagery forms the basis of his art practice. But instead of mining the media, Quinlan turns to thrift stores, flea markets, eBay and the aisles of Wal-Mart to find the bits and pieces of fabric that he uses to compose his fantastic quilts. "I'm looking at (news-related) images all day, so when I go home I make these to release my frustration," Quinlan says of his wild and sometimes-wacky quilts that feature everything from Jesus to John Wayne. A dozen of them make up his appropriately titled exhibition "Blanket Statement." Quilts such as "The Almighty Dollar #2," in which Jesus can be seen preaching to the flock amid a massive $100 bill that Quinlan used as a backdrop, are for the most part quintessential examples of the artist's collage-like technique. Quinlan says Jesus came from a wall hanging he found in a thrift store, and the giant piece of currency was in the form of a body pillow shaped like a $100 bill he found at a Wal-Mart. And what about the fighter jets that loom in the sky above? They were clipped from a set of 1960s drapes that presumably once hung in a little boy's bedroom. Not all of Quinlan's quilts are as sardonic. "Gramps," for example, is a memorial to his grandfather. Basically a Southwestern scene, the
quilt is filled with locomotives, cowboys and Indians. "These are all things that remind me of him," Quinlan says, pointing in particular to a belt-buckle design prominently placed in the middle of the piece
that is exactly like the one his grandfather used to wear.
KURT SHAW PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW WRITES- December 24, 2006. The works on the third floor are just as engaging with renowned quilter Shawn Quinlan's installation in one corner, comprised of 16 small politically charged quilts that surround a child's bed, complete with bedspread that features a little girl putting out a fire with a watering can.
MARY THOMAS PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE WRITES-June 1, 2005. "Gender issues also figure into Shawn Quinlan's fiber "Creepy Cake: Fear Quilt Series," which garnered two prizes including the Carnegie Museum of Art Purchase Award. Quinlan's star has been rising meteorically in recent years, and the recognition is well deserved. He also exhibits "Jesus Get Your Gun," which some viewers may find offensive."
CLARKE BUSTARD TIMES-DISPATCH- RICHMOND, VIRGINIA WRITES-January 5, 2006.
"If quilts make you think of a snug bed on a cold night at grandma's house, "Take Cover," an exhibit of quilts opening tomorrow at Quirk gallery, could be a wake-up call. Maybe even a rude awakening. "Funny thing," says Shawn Quinlan, a Pittsburgh quilter with three pieces in the show. "Look through an art magazine or catalog today. The paintings look more like quilts, and the quilts look more like paintings. Is that a trend?" Quinlan, who has "dabbled in all types of art," got hooked on quilting about 10 years ago. "I was in a store," he recalls, "and I saw a quilt with these 1950s motifs. Someone gave me an old sewing machine, and soon quilting was my medium. "It's therapeutic to work with hands and cloth". Quinlan is one of several quilters in the show with an eye for provocative topical imagery. The topic of the three works he will display could be summarized in an equation: religion + money = hypocrisy.
MARY THOMAS, POST-GAZETTE WRITES-March 13, 2005. "Running concurrently with "Man-Made" is a provocative solo exhibition by Pittsburgh artist Shawn Quinlan, who also was included in the national traveling show. The artist has gained local and national recognition with his hotly political works constructed of dense compositions of appropriated imagery -- often found fiber or media images photo transferred onto fiber -- overlain with intensely patterned quilting. For example, "What Would Jesus Drive?," exhibited here and in the 2003 Associated Artists of Pittsburgh Annual, sites the infant Jesus at the wheel of a tractor surrounded by a spiral of vehicles. "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" and "The Almighty Dollar" both use as a point of departure a rug-sized, faux-velvet painting image of Jesus, the head replaced by a bar code in the latter. Of 16 fiber works made between 1997 and last year, the earliest is "You Made the Indian Cry," a Last Supper scene compromised by the likes of Coffee-mate, TV dinners and a Campbell soup can on the table; a star-studded universe polluted with spacemen and highway route markers; hazmat-uniformed beings; and nuclear mushroom clouds, one of which surrounds a man's eyes welling with tears. In contrast to Quinlan's in-your-face art, his Paducah entry, "Palm Tree Quilt," commissioned by a California cousin and inspired by a visit there, is a landscape, though atypical with its towering perspective. It's supplemented here with a small fiber "sketch" he made in preparation for the final 72- by 41-inch quilt."
KURT SHAW PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW WRITES- March 13, 2005. "Also on view in an adjacent gallery are 16 quilts by local quilter Shawn Quinlan in what Constitutes the first solo show. Quinlan, of Forest Hills, has two quilts in the touring show, but they are tame in comparison to those on display here. That's because the artist often chooses to make quilts that are as much statements as they are art. For example, in "The Quilt That Won't Comfort," which Quinlan made in response to the tragedy of Sept. 11, 2001, the Last Supper is depicted as if to include the viewpoints of many religions, such as Catholicism, Judaism, Islam and Buddhism. Not only are symbols relating to each included, but references to war -- such as army tanks, an oil barrel, skulls, flames and jet fighter planes -- allude to the horrors of war. On the reverse, Quinlan has inscribed powerful words such as "terror," "war," "hypocrisy" and "greed" to further drive home the point. All in all, Quinlan's works are a perfect accompaniment to an exhibition that suggests quilting one day might evolve into one of the manly arts."
KURT SHAW PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW WRITES- May 20, 2004. "Although Perpich is more direct than most in addressing the spiritual side, she still is not as bold as Shawn Quinlan, whose quilt "Who would Jesus bomb?" is sure to raise some eyebrows. A small colorful quilt depicting Jesus between two mushroom clouds and warplanes, it's quite a jump from his earlier work "What would Jesus drive?", which he showed in last year's Annual Exhibition."
MARY THOMAS, POST-GAZETTE WRITES- May 29, 2004. "and Shawn Quinlan's "Pink Lady," whose face dominates or recedes beneath a swirl of sensuous plump stitched spirals depending upon vantage point, introduce a psychological component. ("Lady" will appear on HGTV's "Simply Quilts," an episode about male quilters exhibited at the Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum.) His "Quilt Behind Bars" and Terry Carmen's "My Christmas Quilt" are two extraordinary works among many exceptional fiber pieces that exude their makers' skill and patience. The placement of the piecings in Quinlan's two-sided multitudinously patterned quilt sets up a lively visual rhythm."
MARY THOMAS PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE WRITES- June 25, 2004
"The Associated Artists of Pittsburgh have been flying under the radar recently but right now they're hot. Fiber artist Shawn Quinlan's "Who Would Jesus Bomb?" is winning in technique, concept and presentation. Combining a faux velvet picture of Jesus exposing his Sacred Heart with appliquéd bombs and fiery licks, tumultuous quilted spirals and airplanes probably cut from material used to decorate a boy's room, he creates potent political commentary."
MARY THOMAS, POST-GAZETTE WRITES- June 19, 2003. "The selection made by jurors Laura Hoptman, Carnegie Museum of Art curator of contemporary art, and Elizabeth Thomas, assistant curator, reflects the organization's vitality, exemplified by Shawn Quinlan's cheeky and polished "What Would Jesus Drive." The artist puts the haloed infant at the wheel of a John Deere tractor in the center of the fastidiously appliquéd fiber work, all of found fabric, but leaves the question open by placing Jesus in other vehicles -- blue Chevy convertible, dump truck, yellow taxicab -- that spiral out from the central figure. A standout in last year's annual also, we can look forward to more of his irreverent and intelligent sociopolitical commentary to come."
KURT SHAW PITTSBURGH TRIBUNE-REVIEW WRITES- September 1, 2002. "It's that time again. The Associated Artists of Pittsburgh's annual juried survey exhibition has descended upon us. But this time it has landed at The Andy Warhol Museum. The juror for this exhibition was Jerry Saltz, an art critic for The Village Voice in New York City. Impressive to be sure, but Saltz is not the only outsider in the history of the exhibition to choose among the entries, which this year numbered 488, from 175 artists. Those are just a few of the more exciting pieces that have been made by newer members. Others include Shawn Quinlan's elaborately detailed quilt, "The Quilt That Won't Comfort" (the only piece that addresses the tragedy of Sept. 11)."
JEAN HORN, TRIBUNE-REVIEW WRITES- September 2, 2002. "The Quilt That Won't Comfort by Shawn Quinlan depicts a Last Supper with apostles sharing oversized tablets of the anti-anthrax drug Cipro, along with blackened images of the World Trade Center towers, gushing oil wells and attacking tanks. Controversial? Perhaps. Warm and cuddly? No way."
MARY THOMAS, POST-GAZETTE WRITES- September 8, 2002. "Was it art? No less so than the thousands of spontaneous memorials that sprang up in the aftermath of Sept. 11, near the trinity of sites so unnaturally ravaged, but also in other locales. From the team effort of Walter Long Manufacturing Co. workers, whose miniature WTC ruin sits atop a red, white and blue-painted pole crowned with an American flag, to artist Shawn Quinlan's painstakingly stitched "Quilt That Won't Comfort," thick with symbols of Catholicism, Judaism and Islam juxtaposed with tanks, Monopoly money and oversized Cipro tablets, people made objects during the past year that rose from deeply held feelings and ideas. That the former work resides in a South Side company parking lot and the latter in The Andy Warhol Museum is consequential only in that it illustrates the egalitarianism of tragedy."
MARY THOMAS, POST-GAZETTE WRITES- August 14, 1999. "Using the homiest of forms -- the quilt -- Shawn Quinlan makes chilling commentary on our children's loss of innocence in the superb "After School Special."

Not who you think should be the starting center, that's obvious, who do you think is better?
Not who you think should be the starting center, that's obvious, who do you think is better?
At this stage in their careers, Chandler easily
In their primes Camby
He could cover ground, hit the open jumper, catch lobs, block shots, rebound all that
Chandler at his best is mainly just a defensive anchor, no real offensive game but he does hit his FT's which I like
Please tell me this is not a serious question.
The way i see it is
RIGHT NOW --- Chandler is the better Center currently
RETIRED STAGES --- When their both retired and you want to look back and say who was the better center Overall through out each of their careers, I'd have to go with Marcus Camby here.
Perfect summary!
Camby was quite versatile in his 20's, Chandler is freaking one-dimensional.
Defensively he's right up there with the best, but the guy got no offense, even on team USA he's by far the worst player on offense. To be precise, the only reason coach K selected him was to play defense on the Gasol brothers in the gold medal game, other than that he's totally useless for USA. K-Love and even Anthony Davis looked much much better at center.
Not saying Chandler is a bad player, but we definitely overpaid on him and Camby in his prime would be my starter.
I'm almost certain the olympic committee selected TC for more than playing defense against Spain. That's a silly notion. Howard and Bynum weren't going to play and TC is one of the best centers in the NBA (plus a champion). He also just came off a DPOY, so to marginalize his selection like that is kind of ridiculous.
Also, no way has Davis ever looked better than TC for team usa.
Not according to Dime Magazine who rated the 25 most overpaid players in the NBA. Chandler didn't make the list but Stat was number 10 and Brook Lopez, Asik, Okafer and Biedrins are also are on that list.
Chandler rebounds, plays D, is a high percentage scorer and provides those intangibles like leadership and toughness. Cuban screwed up by not offering him a multi year deal and the Knicks are fortunate to get him.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
This guy ANCHORS us defensively, no way we did not overpay him. Along with the fact that he brings veteran championship experience and also team leadership among a bunch of immature babies( Amare, Melo, JR). Imagine the opponents points scored, defensive rebounding numbers without him. Imagine our ORB numbers without him(non existant). He also has great percentage of course and is a great roller and also great screener both on and off the ball.
So no..We didn't overpay TC
This, it's not just his stats that he bring to the team. The amount of shots he alters or players don't take because of his presence is off the charts. Plus when you compare his contract to what the rest of the C's around the league get (DJ, Hibbert, Asik, Lopez) he is pretty solid value.
thats where Tyson is underrated, and its his weakness at the same time.
Tyson doesnt rebound. now understand I dont mean what you think.
he has this whiplash where he flips the ball away from the basket out to the 3 line for his teammates to grab,it helps alot *the Melo 3 vs the Bulls Tyson kept tipping it out* but its also a weakness because he nevers secures the rebound

Re: If the draft was today, what positions would you target in the first round?
But he and Ogletree are basically the same player & play the same position. He's not a SLB. If we were going to draft a LB this high, he's have to be a SLB that can smash the run & also contribute on passing plays. At the current moment, we can deal with Dunbar for atleast another year. I say we go safety and either DT/OT in round one regardless of what happens the rest of the year.

Re: If the draft was today, what positions would you target in the first round?
partially because i'm a USC fan...i don't want Barr, so i also get to agree with others that he wouldn't exactly fit
but i just don't like the guy's personality, he's a butt imo
totally classless over Matt Barkley's injury last year
i don't, and never have myself, celebrated an injury in any sport
couldn't root for the guy
Harkey is a bruin as well...but he's done nothing to warrant any disliking whatsoever (other than being a bruin lol)
-11-28-2013 #20
Re: If the draft was today, what positions would you target in the first round?
I chose OT & BPA surprising even to me... LOL
But having those high pics we are in rare territory where you rarely get to go and special OT's don't come around every day. Even if he sits and plays back up would be great to get one of the top two OT's in this draft. Like everyone I really like Matthews and his ties to coach Fisher, seems meant to be if we get lucky enough to have him available for our pick. You guys all covered our areas of need pretty well imho. C/G and DT also DB all could really help us alot. Bonus pics would be RB & QB for depth. LB would be good as JLD is a question mark for the future. Will be alot of fun to see what Les, the Scouts and Fish come up with this draft so many options and ways to go!
-11-28-2013 #21
Re: If the draft was today, what positions would you target in the first round?
I must have forgot to respond to this thread. I would still take Barr in a heartbeat. He's such an impactful player. He is going to be an impact no matter where he lines up and no matter what he's asked to do. He's athletic and has a mean arsenal of pass rushing moves. He's also a lights out hitter. Adding him to our front 7 makes our front 7 the best in the league (arguably). Barr in my opinion is a "cant miss" prospect. He's a guy that Mike Waufle would salivate over. You simply have a fresh rotation of 4 pass rushers. I've seen Quinn and even Long line up plenty of times at DT this year. We can very simply put out Barr, Hayes, Long, Quinn on 3rd downs just like we do now (we use 4 DE sets pretty often on 3rd and longs) and Seattle does as well.
