Some of these make me a little nervous, but the prices are certainly good but I don't think that's a recommendation. You?

You left off Tan Towels, which are the best, most efficient self tanner.

I love gradual tanners, but I'm a little scared to try actual self-tanners.

banana boat is pretty good. It is the least smelly one out of all cheaper self-tanners. Their spray self-tanner is pretty nice too.

Made in the Shade by Arbonne! It gets darker as you get hotter! That means, put it on and...go to the gym, blow dry your hair, go outside!You get a natural looking tan and it has SPF so you can use it as sunscreen. I ALWAYS bring this with me on vacation and you get exceptionally dramatic results. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Interesting recommendations, surprised Lancomes bronzer didn't make the list. It smells great and I've been using it on and off for years. Coppertone is another good lotion that leaves no streak if you reub it on evenly.
by Lani702 Friday, November 2, 2012 at 07:01PM Report as inappropriate
I believe all self tanners are going to leave a streak or two here and there but there are definitely some that are way better than others. I suggest to try at leaste 5 different brands and find the one that best compliments your skin tone. Also, taking advice from here can get you through them a little quicker and may save a little money too in the end!

Comments about Shimano 105 BB-5500 Bottom Bracket:
I just installed the unit and have not ridden more than a test ride. Since the unit is sealed it will take 6 months of riding before I know if the unit is standing up.

Comments about Shimano 105 BB-5500 Bottom Bracket:
Stock bottom bracket on my 2002 Trek 520 touring bike which I bought used. I've put about five or six thousand miles on the bb now without any signs of bearing failure. I have no idea how many miles the original owner put on the bb. While it doesn't have the advantage of a Hollowtech2 system (replaceable bearings) it does have better seals than an outboard style bearing would. The downside to Octalink is that while the spindle is larger than square taper (for increased stiffness) this also requires that the bearings be smaller due to space constraints which theoretically results in shorter bearing life. Not sure what is inside the cartridge (I've read that it's needle bearings) but I've been perfectly happy with the longevity of the product. For the other poster, the reported early failure must be due to riding style or possibly some other issue.

Comments about Shimano 105 BB-5500 Bottom Bracket:
Because v1 Octalink has been discontinued, Shimano is only making this one 5500 (105 level) v1 Octalink bottom bracket to support all the v1 Octalink cranksets out there in the market still being used. So the 6600 (Ultegra) bottom bracket and 7700 (Dura Ace) bottom bracket are both discontinued.
The unfortunate thing about these bottom brackets is they do not last. I have to buy a new one basically every year because they develop play in them, and there is no adjustability - which is unfortunate, because even the really cheap Shimano LP-20 BB's are even adjustable/rebuildable. I used to be able to get this exact same 5500 bottom bracket for just $29 here on Jenson (just went and looked at my Jenson order history), but I guess because they are becoming rare and people need them, they can charge more.
Having to spend $50 every year on a new bottom bracket is a bit unrealistic. At that price you may be better off buying a new crankset with outboard BB's (cheap options are Shimano Sora which supports 9spd - since anyone needing this has 9spd, or even FSA Gossamir cranks).
I have not decided what I am going to do yet, because the idea of buying another one at this price is disheartening).

JON CARDINELLI and RYAN VREDE rate the real winners and losers of the 2011 season.
THE HEROES by Ryan Vrede
The Irresistible Force - To watch Schalk Burger live borders on a spiritual experience. His work-rate can only be fully appreciated when you watch him effect a tackle then spring from the ground as if it were strewn with scorpions, track across the field and make another, then another and yet another. There is nothing elegant about his ball carrying, but what it lacks in panache it makes up for in power which is fuelled by a deep determination to cross the gainline. He was outstanding at the World Cup and has yet to show signs of a drop-off in potency. Thank God. The Springboks are significantly less formidable without Schalla.
Rocking Rookie - Jaco Taute is an excellent prospect and has the makings of a Springbok. The Lions fullback plays with a healthy disregard of failure, a trait I last saw as strongly exhibited in a young Frans Steyn. He will be central to the Lions' Super Rugby cause in 2012. Franchises with better prospects of Super Rugby success are sure to be suitors in the coming years. The Lions have to secure his short-term future if they are serious about significant advancement.
And now for something completely different - Israel Dagg plays Test rugby with the freedom of kid on a run out with mates in the local park. There are players I'd pay to see left on the team coach, then those, like Dagg, who somehow justify the mind-blowing ticket prices for Tests. He has a complete technical skills set and the temperament to amplify his threat. But, like the greats, he has something in reserve – that indefinable quality that 'x-factor' doesn't completely do justice too. The try he crafted for Ma'a Nonu in the World Cup semi-final is a prime example and was the most sublime piece of individual play I've ever seen live. He will be, at least, as good as the great Christian Cullen. He is my Player of the Year.
Bloody Legend - Richie McCaw's foot was held together by hope and steel during the World Cup. Doctors had advised him to miss the tournament, explaining that there was no way he could endure the pain the injury would cause. They said the strong pain killing injections being administered wouldn't dull the sensation of him tramping on needles everytime he put pressure on it. They said he would cause further, potentially permanent, damage. He said 'thanks' and set about confirming his status as the most decorated captain in the game's history by lifting the Webb Ellis trophy.
#thatawesomemoment - For those fans with an appreciation for the theatre of the game (as opposed to the morons who chant ole ole ole) the All Blacks' Haka in their pool match against France at Eden Park was breathtaking. The stadium fell silent and Piri Weepu's call to prepare for battle was clearly audible. Then the super-charged collective challenge put to France reverberated around the stadium in a way I've never experienced. 'Wow', best encapsulates the magnitude of that moment.
Ground breakers from broken ground - Many of the Crusaders players were affected directly and indirectly by the earthquake that ravaged Christchurch early in 2011. It destroyed the AMI Stadium, forcing the Crusaders to play the bulk of their home Super Rugby matches in Timaru and Nelson. They travelled more than any franchise in the tournament, spending time on the road while family and loved ones who were rebuilding their homes and indeed their lives. Few gave them a chance of making the semi-final given the gruelling travel schedule they endured to get to Cape Town. Yet they won and then came desperately close to what would have been one of the great sporting achievements in history. We always knew they were big on talent. Now we know their hearts are equally sizeable.
THE VILLAINS by Jon Cardinelli
In the category of Dimwits in Denial, there were some strong contenders: the Springbok supporters who said Bryce Lawrence was solely to blame for South Africa's early World Cup exit, as well as the South African journalists who joined the 'Blame It On Bryce' campaign instead of facing up to a less parochial reality. In the end, there is only one King of Calamity and in his last year in charge he stood head and shoulders above all the other candidates. Peter de Villiers has refused to admit that the Boks have been in decline since late 2009. The senior players have enjoyed too much freedom which has contributed to the creation of an insular culture rather than a progressive one. Unsurprisingly, De Villiers has maintained his stance that nothing was ever wrong and will be reapplying for the head coach post. Denial thy name is Divvy.
The Immovable Object – John Smit will be remembered as one of the greats of the South African and international game. In the context of the 2011 World Cup, however, he will be remembered as the man who stood in the way of Bismarck du Plessis. The best hooker in the world was in a foul mood towards the end of the tournament, as promises that he would start in South Africa's big matches were broken. Smit also broke a promise made to the Boks in 2010 when he said that he would stand aside when it was clear that his best days were done. That time came and went long before the global showpiece.
Flop of the Year – In another example of the Bok selection shambles, De Villiers announced two weeks before the start of the World Cup that Morne Steyn would be his No 1 flyhalf. It came as a shock to many, including Butch James who had been told by the coach that he would start the big matches in New Zealand. Predictably, Steyn's limitations on attack and frailty on defence cost the Boks, and his supposedly dependable goal-kicking game was anything but flawless.
Dinosaurs must die – Tobie Titus and the other freemasons at the Western Province compound have had the final say on the Cape Town Stadium issue, and woe betide anybody that brings this topic up again. When it was announced that Saracens would be playing Biarritz in a historic European Cup game at the Cape Town Stadium in January, Titus blew a fuse, stating that Newlands is the home of rugby in the Western Cape. Eventually Saracens decided to move the game back to England, and so Capetonians will miss out on the chance to watch the best of Europe slugging it out. Bizarrely, the Saracens team will still be coming to Cape Town in January for some R&R and to conduct a few coaching clinics. God, we have some useless administrators in this country.
…and while we're talking about WP, a special mention must be made of the player management at the union. Peter Grant will enjoy a second stint in the Japanese league and miss the Stormers' pre-season yet again. Just a couple of months after Lionel Cronje had been snapped up by the Bulls, the Stormers started targeting other young flyhalves like Burton Francis. The biggest management bungle, however, relates to a promising centre and an established international midfielder. Johann Sadie left Cape Town because Jaque Fourie was expected to hold a monopoly on the No 13 jersey in 2012, but just last week Fourie confirmed that he would be moving to Japan for the next two seasons. D'oh!
Daai's (Nie) 'n Try – Ahead of the 2011 league match between the Stormers and Crusaders, a mass contingent of Cape-based Crusaders fans mobbed the open training sessions. Some of the fans claimed to be connoisseurs who favoured the Crusaders because of their brand of rugby. Others said that their reasons for supporting a Kiwi team were rooted in South Africa's segregated past. What escaped both groups of supporters was the fact that the Crusaders held a reputation as one of the more pragmatic teams in the tournament, and that the Crusaders were a predominantly white side. Fortunately we will enjoy a break from this deluded bunch next year, as the 2012 league match will take place in Christchurch.
Daai's Nie 'n Ref – Did Bryce Lawrence take one two many relaxants before the World Cup quarter-final match between Australia and South Africa? Lawrence adopted an 'anything goes' attitude towards managing the breakdown, and consistently avoided penalising either side in this facet of play. In the end, it was the Aussies that adapted best. Last week, Lawrence was honoured with a referee award in New Zealand. Perhaps there aren't too many professional referees to choose from in Kiwiland, or Lawrence is in fact, as once suggested by Peter de Villiers himself, the son of IRB referee chief Paddy O'Brien.
Union in Turmoil – The chain of controversial events that characterised England's World Cup campaign read like the script of a Will Ferrell movie. Dwarf-tossing, hotel-staff harassment, senior team members cavorting with mystery blondes, drunk junior players diving off moving ferries… all that was missing was a KY jelly wrestling match and Lewis Moody streaking through the quad en route to KFC. The rugby was also beyond ordinary, and unsurprisingly some important changes have since been instigated at RFU headquarters.
The Frank the Tank award – The colourful behaviour of the England squad paled in comparison to that of Zac Guildford post the World Cup. Bleeding from the head and naked, the All Blacks winger stumbled into a family restaurant in the Cook Islands and proceeded to clout a couple of patrons. Reports of this incident were succeeded by news that Guildford had verbally harassed a Cook Islands athlete, also while he was heavily intoxicated. Will Ferrell and co do come up with some madcap characters, but would struggle to dream up a fighting nude rugby player who also cruises the streets on a hired scooter shouting obscenities at young women. Crazy.

Research expertise
I have over 15 years of research experience in a broad range of areas related to complex and dynamic systems. Several of the research programs I have been involved in have been led by myself, and many are still active. The principle contributions include:
Multibody dynamics modelling, simulation and analysis of helicopter slung-load systems: This project was well published and received high praise from DSTO and the Australian Defence. Although I am no longer leading the project, it remains ongoing.
Analysis of complex scheduling operations: I instantiated a program to develop a generic discrete-event simulation framework that could be utilised for a wide spectrum of problems, including naval area defence and unmanned maritime operations. The framework can exploit multi-core systems or run in a distributed client-server architecture either locally or remotely on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) for scalable performance gains. It has since been used by several other countries under a Technical Cooperation Program (TTCP) as well as other branches involved in Operations Research within DSTO.
Terrain-relative navigation of autonomous underwater vehicles: This research area is under active development. The underwater navigation system conceived during my Fellowship at the Naval Postgraduate School remains one of the focus areas in the Unmanned Systems group of DSTO. It has been the subject of investigation for several university student research projects.
Other areas of research include: Agent-based modelling of unmanned systems for multiple vehicle cooperative control; Genetic programming for identification of dynamic models; Bayesian model structure determination of dynamic models.

Whilst in the Flight Mechanics group of AOD, Roger Stuckey conducted research into the use of genetic programming for flight system identification under a collaborative agreement with the Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) in Canberra. For a large proportion of his time in the Helicopter Flight Dynamics group, he worked on a task to model the dynamic behaviour of helicopter slung-load systems. This work was done in collaboration with other groups in DSTO, such as Air Operations and Simulation, and involved close consultation with the relevant Army client groups. During his long-term attachment to the Naval Postgraduate School, he undertook a cooperative research project on terrain-relative navigation in the Center for Autonomous Vehicle Research, which resulted in a continuing agreement to exchange code and data of mutual interest. More recently, Roger has worked closely with other Divisions in DSTO, such as the Maritime Platforms Division (MPD) on the development low-level dynamics and control models, and the Air Vehicles Division (AVD) on the determination of hydrodynamic coefficients for an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). In the same area, he has also exchanged models and data with the New Zealand Defence Technology Agency (DTA) under the Technical Cooperation Program (TTCP). Currently, he is working in collaboration with researchers from MIT and Teledyne/Gavia on the development of guidance and navigation software for another AUV.
Administrative expertise
My role in many of the projects I have been involved in have entailed the initial formulation of task plans, proposals for funding, management of task finances and staff involved, reporting, demonstration and training for the clients, as well as subsequent advice and support.
I am also the systems administrator for a number of workstations and servers - both physical and virtual - in DSTO, Sydney. My responsibilities cover account management, operating system and software installation, hosting services including version control, backup and so on.

Adelaide Craver. Say her name and almost anyone in Shelby will know who you're talking about. They might think of her work when she was president of the Uptown Shelby Association, or the Shelby Historic Preservation Foundation, or even the Junior Charity League of Shelby.
They might think of the time she chaired a fashion show in Blowing Rock to benefit the hospital there, or the time she chaired Cleveland County's Heart Association Ball in 2004. They might tell you about her work with Destination Cleveland County, an organization that promotes economic development here. Or they might have been a member with her on one of the five boards she has served on.
On Tuesday, those many facets of public service and leadership over the years resulted in a formal recognition.
Craver was recognized with the highest award for a civilian in North Carolina, the Order of the Long Leaf Pine. A ceremony held at First National Bank drew dozens of friends, family members and supporters.
"I'm just highly honored by all these people saying all these complimentary things that I don't deserve," she said, with characteristic humility. "I do love Shelby and Cleveland County."
A business leader
Not only is Craver recognized for her public service, she is also recognized for her career as a business leader and now chairwoman of First National Bank. From cashier to president to CEO, Craver has served Shelby through First National since 1981. Prior to that, she worked in Charlotte at First Union Trust.
"I came back (to Shelby) because it was mine and my husband's hometown," she said. "The bank was much smaller and it exposed you to all types of banking. The things that I would say meant the most to me were the people that I was involved with. Our staff was like a great big family."
As a young female business leader, Craver said she never felt out of place at the bank. She graduated law school in 1967 with just one other woman in her class, with whom she is still close friends.
"I didn't really think about being a woman," she said. "I came here and the people I worked with welcomed me. I never wanted to be in business organizations that involved just women."
A community servant
Instead, she got involved in many organizations in the community through First National Bank.
"My other love has been to serve the community and to promote so many great causes," she said. "I've always felt the bank makes the community and the community makes the bank."
She said she has always believed that "the success of a bank would come from the success of staff members" and from their dedication to their jobs at the bank. She said they always tried very hard to be friendly.
"The other thing I loved the most about banking was our customers. Knowing so many of them has been a pleasure. I will miss seeing them quite as often," she said. "It was a pleasure to try to serve their concerns or problems."
The enjoyment of and dedication to customer service has been a hallmark for Craver. It has created relationships with her customers that won't be forgotten. During a recent interview with The Star, a friend stopped by and spoke to Craver. Amid hugs and smiles, he told her that he didn't have cancer. Craver said it was truly a miracle.
A hometown friend
Craver said she plans to continue her involvement in the community after she retires.
"I love the bank and I love Shelby," she said. "It's always been such a friendly town with so many nice people. It's small but not too small. I've always loved the beauty of the court square and walking my dogs there."
Craver lives near uptown and said she loves the pretty neighborhoods.
"But most of all it goes back to people. The people in the community are what's really important, to know so many people within the bank and without," she said.
Comments from Adelaide:
- On the Junior Charity League: "I really admire the clothing room that gives the children that need assistance clothing to wear to school, for them to feel good about themselves attending school."
-On historic preservation: "It was a pleasure to redo the (preservation foundation) main office in 1999, bringing it back to its historic appearance. It's also been fun to open new offices and work on those buildings and getting to know people in those communities."
-On economic development: "The most vital thing we can to do help Cleveland County is to get jobs and that will improve the economy for all of us."
-On Destination Cleveland County and bringing in the Don Gibson Theatre and Earl Scruggs Center: "Fundraising has been tough, but we're proud of what we've accomplished. Cleveland County is so very fortunate to have had two outstanding musicians grow up here as Don Gibson and Earl Scruggs."
-On Cleveland Community College: "It's been great to see Cleveland County grow as it provides the education so much of our workforce needs."
Comments from community members:
"Adelaide has just done so much for this community. She has been extremely important with economic development efforts and she has supported Chamber programs ever since she's been in the community. I just can't say enough about Adelaide Craver, the support she puts in the community. She is always willing to help out and do whatever she can to advance projects. She's always been recognized as a community leader."
-Michael Chrisawn, president of the Cleveland County Chamber
"She's a very unique person and as a member of the business community. She really epitomizes what a good corporate citizen can be in any community. And fortunately for Shelby, she's been here for many years. She's the epitome of the person who loves her community and supports it.
She's just one of those people, she didn't have to be involved in the community, even though her official role as a banker and as a business person really kind of lent itself to that, she did so much more. And she did so with a love for the community and with enthusiasm and with a very altruistic attitude. I've never been around her when she hasn't had a smile on her face and when she hasn't inquired about how I was doing or how my family was doing. She always has an encouraging thing to say."
-Rick Howell, Shelby city manager
"I am probably one of Adelaide's biggest fans in Cleveland County. She really is the epitome of a wonderful combination of southern grace and gentility, coupled with a very smart, very energetic and very strategic business mind. She's very sharp. She is and has been a very great asset to our community. She always keeps a very balanced approach to solving issues. It's always a pleasure to serve with Adelaide because you know that her agenda is really always what was best for the city and the county. She's just a real joy to work with.
One of the hardest things I ever had to do was when I was director of the Uptown Shelby Association. I was going to have to tell her I was leaving for Virginia. When I came back two and a half years later, it was folks like Adelaide that really made the decision to come back to Shelby an easy one."
-Ted Alexander, former Shelby mayor
"In addition to her duties at the bank, she has contributed much of her time and energy to make this community a better place to live. I'm looking forward to continuing to work with her."

Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am.

Or that pannini is already plural, just as spaghetti is plural?
In Italian, certainly. In English, no. No native English speaker would say, "There are left-over spaghetti in the refrigerator."
However, English speakers don't say, "There are left-over spaghettis in the refrigerator," (not valid in New Jersey) but they will say there are "panninis" in the refrigerator.
What's wrong with panninis? If it exists, pannini is an English word. The Italian for sandwiches would be "panini."
What's wrong with New Jersey residents saying there are spaghettis in the refrigerator? No one in New Jersey would put
their panninis in the refrigerator because they eat them warm!! What's the matter with youse guys, anyhow??

I wasn't able to figure out how to do simple exclude filtering of files under my src/main/webapp directory by looking at the current usage examples on the maven war plug-in page. This simple tutorial describes how to use the warSourceExcludes tag to perform this task. [ Suggestion: the official documentation page for maven:war plugin could use a how-to example along the lines of what I present below].
Sometimes you want to filter out stuff in your war file that want to use for development and testing, but don't want to have included in your production environment. An example is deployment environment specific properties files that you want to have on your classpath (during dev/test), but not in your .war (so that an admin can twiddle the properties without cracking open your .war).
Here's an example of how to this.
- Create a simple web application using maven archetype:
- mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=org.codehaus.groovy.maven.archetypes -DgroupId=com.foo -DartifactId=example -Dpackage=com.lackey
- choose option 18 (simple web app -- this will generate a simple web app project).
- cd example
- create a file src/main/webapp/server.properties
- run: mvn package
- notice you have a file target/example/server.properties -- this means server.properties will end up in your .war.
- now change your pom file to include the following directives in the <build> block:
- run: mvn package (again)
notice the file target/example/server.properties is no longer present. You can check the .war as well, it won't be there, which is what you want in this case.
Hope you will find this useful !

U.S. Rep. Mike McIntyre, who represents portions of Kinston and Lenoir County in the newly-redrawn 7th District, visited Kinston Thursday for the Kinston/Lenoir County Chamber of Commerce annual banquet, where the chamber's Citizen of the Year (Danny Rice) and Ambassador of the Year (Molly Taylor) were announced.
It was the Democrat's first official visit to Lenoir County since narrowly defeating Republican David Rouzer by fewer than 700 votes in a district that was redrawn after the 2010 Census to favor GOP candidates.
Before attending the chamber banquet, McIntyre sat down with The Free Press for an exclusive interview to talk about important issues to the nine-term representative who first took office in 1997.
"The No. 1 issue is jobs and the economy; that's true nationally, that's true statewide but it's also true locally," McIntyre said. "I've always had very long and strong relationships with local chambers of commerce, so it's only appropriate I begin the New Year in Kinston and Lenoir County … at the local chamber's annual banquet because, to me, that's very symbolic of the commitment to business and economic development."
While in Kinston this week, McIntyre had a staff member, Tony M. McEwen, with him. McEwen is McIntyre's economic development director.
"I take jobs, job creation and job retention and business concerns so seriously that I have a full-time person that takes care of it," McIntyre said of McEwen. "He and our staff work with, on average, 100 businesses a year."
McIntyre is the No. 2-ranked congressman on the powerful House Agriculture Committee. He also has chaired Congressional subcommittees on rural development, biotechnology and foreign agriculture in his tenure in Washington.
"Every one of those categories fits this area," said McIntyre, who also co-authored the tobacco buyout bill, which has had $4 billion of economic impact in North Carolina. "In the 7th District, we have been working with biofuels in Sampson County; just last summer, we announced a biofuels facility there that will initially add 200 jobs and more after that in time."
Rural broadband is also an important issue to McIntyre.
"I have worked with the Golden LEAF Foundation on the state level and I've worked with local businesses to make sure our rural areas are not left behind," he said of the broadband issue.
McIntyre, a UNC classmate of prominent Kinston lawyer and philanthropist Jimbo Perry, was born and raised in Lumberton, a town he said reminds him of Kinston.
"There are a lot of similarities," said McIntyre, who is also the No. 3 member of the Armed Services Committee. "They were both driven by tobacco and textiles, they both have a river running through it … and both have a lot of history going back to the Civil War and even the Revolutionary War in Colonialtimes.
"Being from a small town similar in size to Kinston, I take it personally on how to help with jobs and economic development."
McIntyre praised Kinston and Lenoir County, specifically the city's victory in 2009 when it was named an All-America City for the second time. The congressman is familiar with what it takes to achieve that desired designation; he helped Lumberton acquire the same title in 1995.
"I think the All America designation speaks volumes about Kinston," McIntyre said. "I know what it means to achieve that. … Kinston has All-American, small-town values that give it cohesiveness."
McIntyre is recognized nationally as a politician who thinks for himself. He was one of only 16 Democrats, for example, who voted against the so-called "fiscal cliff" legislation that recently passed the U.S. House.
"I felt like it was a Band-Aid on a much worse problem," he said. "I think people are tired of kicking the can down the road. In less than 50 days, there will be another discussion about 'what do we do next?' I felt there needed to be a more comprehensive solution and not these temporary solutions — and in this case, a temporary solution that again adds to our national debt and increases taxes.
"People know that I look at an issue based on its own merit and not on if it's merely a Republican or Democratic issue. … I feel like that's the approach our Founding Fathers ultimately envisioned."

Resource Loader
The Resource Loader is a facility that allows easy configuration and management of resources. Pools configured via the Resource Loader will be created automatically during the transaction manager's startup and will be closed during its shutdown.
It consists of an extra layer above the JDBC and JMS pools which configures them via a properties file. It is not mandatory to use it but sometimes it is better than manually creating resource pools. Another good example of Resource Loader usage is when BTM is embedded in a servlet container which configuration file cannot easily be extended, like Tomcat for instance.
Enabling the Resource Loader
You can enable it by setting the
bitronix.tm.resource.configuration property in the configuration file or by calling
setResourceConfigurationFilename() on the Configuration object.
This property must contain a path to a properties file that will be loaded by the Resource Loader to create pools. Its default value is
null which means the Resource Loader is disabled and resources should be manually created via the API.
Configuring a JDBC pool
You can configure a JDBC connection pool that wraps the driver's
javax.sql.XADataSource implementation and presents it to the user as a
javax.sql.DataSource, much like with the API.
To configure a JDBC pool, create a set of properties:
(A) is constant and never changes.
(B) is an arbitrary name used to group a set of properties together.
(C) is a javabean property of bitronix.tm.resource.jdbc.PoolingDataSource.
Refer to the
PoolingDataSource javadoc or to the JDBC configuration page to know what properties can be set.
Configuring a JMS pool
You can configure a JMS connection pool that wraps JMS server's
javax.jms.XAConnectionFactory implementation and presents it to the user as a
javax.jms.ConnectionFactory, much like with the API or for JDBC.
To configure a JMS pool, create a set of properties:
(A) is constant and never changes.
(B) is an arbitrary name used to group a set of properties together.
(C) is a javabean property of bitronix.tm.resource.jms.PoolingConnectionFactory.
Refer to the
PoolingConnectionFactory javadoc or to the JMS configuration page to know what properties can be set.
Ant-like references
Unlike the transaction manager, the Resource Loader does not support ant-like references (
${...}) in its configuration file.
JNDI binding
All resources created by the Resource Loader are bound to BTM's JNDI provider, just like the ones created by direct use of the API. Have a look at the Embedded JNDI provider page for more details.

Adequate consumption of dietary fiber is critical to maintaining normal bowel function and is recommended for prevention and treatment of occasional constipation. The average American ingests 10 to 12 grams of fiber per day, yet the digestive tract needs 35 grams of fiber daily to stay regular, help manage weight, and properly remove waste and toxins.╬ There are two essential types of fiber:
Fiber Smart Ultimate Chia Seed is a blend of 80% insoluble and 20% soluble fiber. It can be difficult to consume 35 grams of fiber from diet alone; however, taking a fiber supplement each day can give you a good head start. Fiber Smart is "The Healthier Fiber" because it's 100% natural and does not contain any artificial ingredients or preservatives.

BAYBORO — It is rare for a high school baseball coach to see two of his best hitters be of driver's permit age, instead of trying on caps and gowns.
That is exactly what Mike Twichell Jr. of Pamlico County is seeing this season.
The Hurricanes take on No. 1 seed Midway Tuesday in the second round of the 1-A state baseball playoffs in Dunn.
Sophomore outfielder/catcher Jacob Willis is hitting .371 with three home runs, six doubles and 13 RBIs.
Sophomore first baseman/designated hitter Cole Bennett is batting .353 with two doubles and 17 RBIs.
Both have had to grow into their offensive leadership roles as the season has drawn on.
"With me it is so much different than last year, because last year we didn't really play too much and I started the year terrible this year, striking out my first five times," Willis said.
"As the season went on, we started seeing how good we could be and somebody would get one big hit and we would just feed off of that."
Bennett was injured at the start of the season and saw limited playing time, but has settled into his role as well as normally being a designated hitter or playing first base.
"Like Jacob, I struck out a lot too to start the season and wasn't playing well at all," Bennett said.
"It is just all a mental thing. As we progressed into the season, I got my confidence up and when we have a game, all day I'm thinking about how I'm going to hit that night and what I can do out there."
During the Hurricanes' playoff run, the sophomore duo just wants to do what it can to aid seniors Terrance Heath, Mark Buck and Shane Hardison in their final season of Pamlico baseball.
"We want to get as far as we can for us, but also mainly for them, the seniors," Bennett said.
Willis echoed those sentiments.
"I've been playing with these guys a long time, with travel ball, now high school, and it means more to me than anything, so we want to help them make a deep run," Willis said.
While Twichell knew coming into the year that his future was bright, he also knew his youngsters could make an immediate impact this season.
"It's like I told you and everybody else, we had some good, young sticks coming up in the program and I'm not surprised at all by what these guys along with some others have been able to do," Twichell said.
"They are just pure hitters and they do what good hitters do. They both struggled early and we made some small adjustments in their swings and they are swinging at better pitches. A lot of their success has been about good pitch selection."
As the old cliché goes "the best thing about freshmen is that they become sophomores," and for Twichell, his talented sophomores may have two very special years still ahead of them.

STANTONSBURG — Ever since a hog farm set up operations in Greene County in March 1991, the Joyner family across the road has been living with the stench and slimy waterway that wraps around their property.
"It always looks slimy," Katie Joyner said. "We've had it get red before."
Joyner was referring to the pinkish-red hue the water takes on when bacteria in fecal matter reach high numbers.
Stantonsburg Farm, owned by Murphy Family Ventures, received a notice of violation Thursday for a spill the farm says occurred March 15.
Results from testing done by Larry Baldwin of the Waterkeeper Alliance have indicated the fecal coliform by the Joyner's home was eight times above the required limit three days after the farm pumped the effluence back into the lagoon.
Joyner said she saw the deep pink-colored water March 14. It's one of three times she said she's seen the water turn that dark hue, but the slime is there more often.
"I saw it on a lot of days," she said about the slime. "We just got used to it."
All the way up until 1999, the Joyners were drinking their well water; the well still stands in the yard. It wasn't until Hurricane Floyd completely flooded the well and house that the family hooked up to county water.
But since the early 1990s, Joyner, her husband and their grandson have had respiratory and stomach problems, she said. Her husband, Offie "Buddy" Joyner, died from liver cancer in December.
"The doctor said it was the fastest growing cancer he ever saw," she said. "He didn't smoke or drink."
Her 26-year-old grandson played under the sprayer on one occasion when he was young. All three drank the water from the well. At one point they were told not to drink the water unless they poured bleach in it. Then Buddy poured bleach down into the well and let it stand awhile, she said.
"That scared me, too," Joyner said. "I didn't want to drink bleach."
She continues to have respiratory problems, such as drainage and a choking feeling — similar to what her husband experienced. She said she believes it's from the constant stench in the air.
"I can hardly stand it," she said about the smell. "I run back in the house. I can't stand it."
Joyner lives in the country on Sand Pit Road near the Wilson border. She said she enjoys being outside, but can't because of the smell.
"The whole month of March has been terrible," she said.
Across the road is the Stantonsburg Farm with a waterway leading out past the farm, across the road and right next to and around the back of Joyner's house. From there, it goes across a field to the Contentnea Creek about a mile or so away.
David May, aquifer protection regional supervisor with the Division of Water Quality, said he took water samples and is investigating the spill. The results and response from the farm are pending.
"Right now, I would consider the case still open," he said, "— that it's still under investigation."

In Sam Harris's latest talk which was posted on "centerforinquiry" youtube channel. He sparked my interest with a comment he made about rats and squirrels. He made a comment that both rats and squirrels have the same capacity for conscious experience, yet one is ugly while the other has a cute fuzzy tail. This has an impact on how we view these organisms. He later posits that morals can be objectively deduced and quantified. So we would develop a sort of moral law equation, where you take a situation and all it's variables and plug it into this equation. We can then empirically deduce whether this decision was write or wrong.
He then goes on to say that there is a spectrum of good to bad. 'Bad' being every conscious entity experiences the worst possible suffering for as long as possible and 'good' being every conscious entity experiences the most happiness and comfort for as long as possible. While everything else falls in the middle of this spectrum and there are 'right' and 'wrong' ways to navigate this spectrum. Lets analyze the concept of rats and squirrels again. Well it's not as simple as he leads us to believe… it's not just about the tail. Rats carry and spread harmful diseases, while squirrels may carry these same diseases, they are less prone to spread these diseases (doesn't matter if this is factually correct or not it's an idea). Lets now apply the formula to this example…
Squirrels don't cause suffering;
Rats are <1% of conscious entities;
Rats cause 5% of conscious entities to suffer;
Therefore: The elimination of rats will optimize happiness while minimizing suffering.
This is a perfectly logical statement based on the assumptions, being; bad is lots of suffering, better is less suffering. Which is perfectly fine when we apply it to mice… but what of men?

"Turning tragedy into triumph; giving hope to a hopeless situation."
|Starla Cassani of the Colby Foundation speaks with LECOM Bradenton first-year osteopathic medical students Benjamin Cox and Miciah Jones.
It's a message that echoed through the LECOM Bradenton lecture hall as Starla Cassani made an impassioned plea to future osteopathic physicians on the power of organ and tissue donation.
"You, as future physicians, have the power to increase awareness regarding organ and tissue donation in the communities that you will serve," said Cassani, founder of the Colby Foundation.
Following the tragic death of her 14-month-old son, Colby, in 1993, Cassani and her husband John have devoted their lives to educating people on the importance of organ and tissue donation. Starla Cassani spoke about how Colby's death has brought life to three people.
"Colby has saved three lives … he is my hero," she said. "His kidneys have given life to a 27-year-old in Pittsburgh, a 2 1/2-year-old girl in Sacramento who received his liver, and a 5-month-old boy in Colorado who received his heart."
That 5-month-old boy, Brayden, is now 16. Cassani recalls the day when Brayden, then 3, gave her a precious gift.
"He asked me to listen to his heart," she said. "What can you say after hearing that? It was a truly profound moment. We are blessed to have been able to give the gift of donation and transplantation. Supporting this cause gave me passion and purpose in my life."
In 1995, Cassani and her husband John, an osteopathic physician, established the Colby Foundation in memory of their son. The foundation sponsors a series of lectures and this year, LECOM became the second medical college in the nation to host the lectures. The foundation accepted a grant proposal submitted last year by Hershey S. Bell, MD, MS, Associate Dean of Faculty Development and Silvia M. Ferretti, DO, Senior Vice President, Provost and Dean of Academic Affairs.
In her talk, Cassani urged LECOM Bradenton's first-year and second-year medical students to make organ donation part of a patients' annual history and physical. Starla Cassani said she can't imagine what her life would be like today had Colby's physician not asked her about organ donation.
"As physicians you have to have the courage to ask those questions," Cassani said. "When they asked us about organ donation, they gave us back some control. Here was something we could say, 'yes' to amongst an uncontrollable situation. This brought us some hope in an otherwise hopeless situation."
In 2008, LECOM received approval for a $12,000 annual endowment from the Colby Foundation to be used to offer an annual lecture series that educates LECOM medical students and the public about organ and tissue donation. Each of LECOM's three locations – in Erie, Pa., Bradenton, Fla., and Greensburg, Pa. – will receive $4,000 annually.
Also lecturing on behalf of the Colby Foundation were Charles Wright, M.D., Medical Director; and Melissa Kelley, R.N., C.P.T.C., Vascular Coordinator of LifeLink in Tampa, Fla.
The LifeLink Foundation is a non-profit community service organization dedicated to the recovery of an increasing number of high quality organs and tissue for transplantation therapy. The Foundation attempts to work in a sensitive, diligent, and compassionate manner with donor families to facilitate the donation of desperately needed organs and tissues for waiting patients.

I enjoy finding stories of pioneer women, as they give me some idea of the lives lived by my own pioneering female ancestors. March Passing of the Pioneers introduces a plucky pioneer, Elizabeth Cole (Mrs E. Dalziel). Elizabeth and another pioneer, Annie Alexander both made their mark in roles not traditionally considered the domain of women. Among the passing gentleman, I enjoyed the story of John McClounan, a well-travelled pioneer.
Mr John Lang CURRIE: Died March 11, 1898 at St Kilda. John Currie was a Western District pastoralist. He was born in Selkirkshire, Scotland in 1818 and came to Australia in the 1840s and purchased Larra Estate near Camperdown in 1844. He later bought Tintanga and Gala Estates. He bred merino sheep known for the high quality of their wool. For more information, his biography is on the Australian Directory of Biography site.
John McCLOUNAN: Died March 2, 1902 at Green Lake. John McClounan was born in Scotland in 1832 but left when he was 21. But not straight to Australia. He first travelled to America where he spent seven years and then on to New Zealand for around six years. He and his brother, his travelling companion, then moved to the goldfields of N.S.W. and then to Victoria and Deep Lead near Stawell. They gave up on mining and moved to Green Lake to farm. It was on this property John died, forty years later. He was unmarried.
Mrs James DAVIDSON: Died March 1907 at Warrnambool. Mrs Davidson was "another pioneer "Mother of Israel"" lost to the Western District. At 91, her husband had died 46 years before and according to the obituary, she "trained up five sons and four daughters to man and womanhood"
John Henry OLIVER: Died March 23, 1909 at Horsham. John Oliver was the brother-in-law of Jonathon and Reuben Harman. The obituary states John arrived in Melbourne with his family in 1848. It was in fact 1849 aboard the Courier. John had spent time around Byaduk where his family settled, however, he bought land at Sailors Home near Dimboola in the early 1870s. After a stroke, John did return to Byaduk trying to regain his health, but he eventually returned to the Wimmera to live out his last months.
Mr W.S. WARD: Died March 14, 1913 at Ballarat. On arrival at Geelong in 1857, Mr Ward headed straight for the goldfields of Ballarat. He mined the "Hit and Miss" shaft at Creswick before taking time of mining to run the coach on the Ballarat-Buninyong Road. The lure of gold was too great and he headed to the goldfields of N.S.W. and one time drilled for coal in Gippsland.
Margaret CAMPBELL: Died March 10, 1914 at Casterton. Margaret arrived at Portland with her parents in 1855 after sailing aboard the Athleta. She married Donald Ross in 1857. She was around 26. They moved to Hamilton, then Sandford before settling in Casterton on the corner of Jackson and Clarkes Street in the house both Margaret and Donald died about 50 years later.
James FERGUSON: Died March, 1914 at Beulah. Scottish born James was one of the early settlers at Beulah and was known around the town as "The Laird". He was one of the first representatives of the newly formed Karkarooc Shire in 1896. In 1908, he travelled to England and visited the place of his birth in Scotland.
Dugald MAIN: Died March 9, 1916 at Ballarat. Dugald arrived in Geelong aboard the Star of the East in 1854 and then settled in Ballarat. He was a builder by trade and sat on the committee of the Ballarat Orphan Asylum.
Alexander McKAY: March, 1919 at Carlton. Alexander, formerly of Mortlake, was a Scot through and through and was a keen participant in Highland games throughout the district. He was an excellent player of the pipes and excelled at the heavy lifting events of the games, such as the caber toss.
Edmond DWYER: Died March 14, 1930 at Condah. Edmond at 92 was the last of the pioneers to arrive on the General Hewitt in 1856. He initially went in search of gold near Beaufort at the Fiery Creek diggings, before turning to road contracting at Portland. He worked the road from Portland to Hamilton for many years.
Mrs A.W. McLEAN: Died March 4, 1932 at Hotspur. Mrs McLean was a very old pioneer when she passed away in 1932. She was born in the Isle of Skye in 1838 and was a teenager when she arrived at Portland with her parents, the McDonalds, in 1853 aboard the New Zealand. She married Mr. A McLean in 1860 and they settled at Hotspur and raised eight children.
Mary Jane JONES: Died March,1932 at Portland. Mary Jane Jones was born in Portland in 1859. She first married a Mr Jennings and they had two sons before she married Alfred Fredericks. They had a further six children.
Martha RIGBY: Died March 11, 1934 at Hamilton. Born in Lancashire, Mrs Jackson arrived at Portland with her parents, John and Sarah Rigby, in 1859. They settled at Heywood where she married John Jackson. They later moved to Hamilton. Mrs Jackson left a large family of 10 children, 32 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren (this was reported as 7 great great grandchildren, so they either forgot the great-grandchildren or it was meant to read great-grandchildren).
Emma HOLMES: Died March 1935 at Drik Drik. Emma was a knitter. She knitted during the Great War for the troops and later for the Methodist Babies Home at South Yarra. Emma arrived at Portland as a seven-year-old in 1852. She married William Mullins and they settled at Drik Drik, with Emma considered to be the first white woman to settle there. Surely a tough time for a new bride.
Annie Gray ALEXANDER: Died March 14, 1937 at Toorak. Annie Alexander was born near Beechworth around 1861. She married Henry William Witton in the early 1880s. They took up residence at Dimboola in the 1890s. After Henry's death, Annie did something a little different to some of the pioneer women I have written of before. She published the Dimboola Banner newspaper until 1918.
Mrs John TRELOAR: Died March 20, 1939 at Portland. Mrs Treloar was an active member of the Myamyn community even up until months before her death at aged 90. She was born at South Portland and later married John Treloar at Myamyn where they lived out there lives. Mrs Treloar had a large family of 13, eight of whom were still living at the time of her death.
Elizabeth COLE: Died March, 1942 at Bostocks Creek. What a great pioneer Elizabeth Cole was. Born at Poplar, London in 1845, she came to Australia with her parents in the early 1850s. She married Alexander Dalziel at Lethbridge in 1862. At the time of her death, Elizabeth and Alexander had 120 descendants including 65 great-grandchildren. What got me about Elizabeth was she was that she had been a bullock driver and one with great skill. She also had memories of Eureka, could recall Lethbridge as a canvas town and the slab huts of Port Fairy and considered kangaroo a delicacy. In her later years, she enjoyed listening to that modern contraption, the wireless.
Mary MURRAY: Died March 17, 1944 at Hamilton. Mary's father was an overseer for Edward Henty at Muntham where she was born. At the time she was the first white child born at Muntham. At some time, she married Mr Hallam and had many great pioneering stories.
Jean EDGAR: Died March, 1947 at Harrow. Jean was another wonderful pioneer who had been in Victoria for 90 years. She arrived aboard the Severn which carried another great pioneer, the thoroughbred King Alfred, one of Australia's early champion sires.
In 1874 she married into the pioneering Minogue family at Harrow where she lived for the rest of her life.

Posted in Corrosion: The Silent Menace
Exhibit Encourages Youth to Solve Puzzles on Infrastructure Preservation
Orlando Science Center and partners have been recognized in the team creation and development of Corrosion: The Silent Menace.
The National Training and Simulation Association presented a team award for training to the Department of Defense Corrosion Policy and Oversight Office, the University of Akron, Bruno White Entertainment and Orlando Science Center during the 2013 NTSA Modeling and Simulation Awards ceremony held on Dec. 4 at the Interactive/Industry Training, Simulation and Education Conference in Orlando.
Reinforcing science, technology, math, and engineering (STEM) skills at the middle and high school level using 3-D mapping technology, Corrosion: The Silent Menace spotlights the natural phenomena that lead to corrosion and material degradation. Visitors can choose from a menu of virtual experiences that graphically depict the science of corrosion, while also performing interactive experiments that show how engineers preserve drinking waterways, bridge and highway systems, and vital forms of public and private transportation.
"The causes of corrosion on our bridges, highways and pipelines are rooted in complex scientific processes, and this corrosion science exhibit unlocks the secret of those processes and how they can be mitigated," said Daniel J. Dunmire, director of the DoD Corrosion Office.
Besides the principal installation developers, Dunmire credited several DoD partners for their contribution to the exhibit, including Battelle Memorial Institute; CorrDefense.org; MVE Systems, Inc.; NASA; Reading Rainbow; NACE International; NACE International Foundation; SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings; Ninjaneer Studios; and Echo Artz.

This Was The Signature Scent Of Princess Diana. Lady Di's Favorite
Written by Sangiovanni on May 15, 2014Read Review details ►
Diorrissimo is that scent; subtle yet unforgettable. It is a family tradition with me handed down from my mom. I have to be very careful with perfumes and their ingredients as most of the perfumes on the market have a certain base or ingredient that induces migraine for me. The ingredients in Diorrissimo however, not only creates that nice floral scent most of its users are addicted to but also it does not have that adverse effect for smell sensitive people like myself. I've introduced quite a few friends to this perfume and they are all hooked up on it. Thanks CD for keeping its quality for this long this good!!

Diorissimo is a fragrance I remember from the time when I was young. Lily of the Valley is known as Maigloeckchen in Germany since the blooming time is May. It is used in bridal bouques. It blooms in my Dad's backyard. I always loved the smell. The perfume captures it perfectly. After all those years it is still one of my favorites. Glad Dior still makes it.

I have been trying for over four years to remember the name of my favorite perfume that I wore from age 13 to it ran out in 1984! I lost track of it anywhere in the states to buy my beloved fragrance so I tried Chanel No.5 but it just wasn't the same. Today for some reason I decided to try to think of the name again and it came to me, Diorissimo I jumped for joy and was so thrilled that I couldn't even get my usual nap in with my husband. I wore this perfume when it was given to me as I became a primo ballerina at the Louisville Ballet. It so far is the ONLY perfume that mixes with my aroma to be so pleasant that people have stopped me in the street to ask my scent! I shall never be without my beloved Diorissimo again!

This is a really gorgeous scent. I thought it would be too much lily for me but muguet de bois is a much lighter lily scent than the larger versions of the flower. Also, this classic scent is blended with other lovely, soft white florals. I was very pleasantly surprised how beautiful this is and will be wearing this lovely scent this spring and summer.
