World Gambling Guide
From casinos and poker to lottery and horse racing, we cover it all
Gambling in North America
North American Gaming Industry
North America Casinos and Gambling
World Casino Directory gives full attention to the most active casino continent in the world. With only three countries in it, North America has more casinos than any other continent.
As one might suspect you will find the North American casino and gambling scene dominated by USA casinos. In the United States alone there are nearly 1,500 gambling facilities ranging from casino resort style gambling facilities to poker rooms and pari-mutuel facilities. See the complete United States casino list.
Pari-mutuel facilities are available in the U.S. and host events like jai alai, horse racing and greyhound races to bet on.
Nearly every state in the U.S. has a lottery. Check in on USA lottery results here.
Canadian casinos and gambling seems to be picking up all over the country which now houses over 100 casinos and growing every year. Make sure you mark Canada casinos on your map. The casinos in Canada can range from medium-sized to incredibly large casinos. You'll find slots, craps, roulette, keno, blackjack, baccarat and much more available. B.C. casinos are a very popular destination for Canadians and gamblers from the Pacific Northwest area of the United States. You'll find the fine dining available in these casinos a real treat and the service impeccable.
Canada has several lotteries and World Casino Directory has the results daily: You can check the Canadian lottery results here.
Mexican casinos have not caught on quite yet - a couple opened in 2006 but are no longer open and from our reports there are no current re-openings yet scheduled. It looked for a moment in 2006 like things were going to be worked out but with the restrictions put on casino gambling by the Mexican government in 1935 they seem to be stuck... for now. We hope that we will see legalized casinos throughout the country soon.
Gambling in Central America
Central America Gaming Industry
Central America Casinos and Gambling
You will find Central American casinos to have a unique atmosphere to them and of course all your favorite casino games. Costa Rica is the most popular Central American gambling destination and tourist destination, too. Costa Rica has the most casinos in Central America with 38 casino gaming facilities as of 2011.
Panama, used to have less than half of the casino numbers of Costa Rica but between 2007 and 2009 Panama has made significant gains with more new projects for 2010 and onwards. Panama has much larger casinos and the casinos here rival those of major ones in the world. In 2008 alone 6 more major casinos opened in Panama.
The two biggest casinos in Central America are Casino Majestic in the Radisson Hotel - Panama City, and Casino Veneto from Cirsa. Both have around 40 table games and 500 slots. Central Americas biggest gaming group are Thunderbird Resorts who apart from having six casinos in Panama, four casinos in Costa Rica, also has gaming operations in Nicaragua and Guatemala.

Gambling in South America
South American Gaming Industry
South America Casinos and Gambling
South America, like the rest of the world, has casinos. Casinos are most prevalent in Argentina which has more than 70 casinos located within its borders.
Peru and Chile have a large number of casinos as well. You will also find casinos in the following countries: Suriname, Venezuela, Uruguay, Columbia and Ecuador.
Most casinos in South America are as up to date as anywhere else in the world and most of the larger facilities are all-inclusive resort style casinos catering to more than just the gambling sector. These facilities have a full range of tourist activities available. You will find most standard casino games here as well as some you may not have heard of. Poker is available in the casinos. You will also find home poker games in South America, but be careful, these games are not always legal.
Argentina has over 80 casinos making it the most casino populous spot in a South America. Colombia has the next most but this is difficult to authenticate due to political issues in the country. You will find casino gambling in all other countries in South America except, surprisingly, the largest country on the continent - Brazil. Guyana recently legalized casinos and there is an ongoing process regarding legislation in Bolivia and Paraguay. The Chilean government in mid 2006 allowed for the building of nine new casinos and resorts, totaling an investment of 325 million US dollars and creating some 4,000 new jobs, but a bid to open a casino in Easter Island failed, the casino on earth farthest from any other place on Earth.
Please engage in gambling discussions regarding South America casinos in our gambling forums. You can access these as well as South American casino news, general information page, lottery and other useful pages from the menu at the top of this article.
There are also pari-mutuel betting facilities available throughout South America, mainly thoroughbred horse racing facilities. Horse racing is very big in the continent, especially in Chile and Argentina. One of the most famous jockey clubs in the world can be found in Buenos Aires. Over much of the 20th century Argentina was famous for its thoroughbreds. It continues to send prize horses to competitions around the world.
Gaming shows: Until recently there was only one show in South America. SAGSE Argentina has operated for some years exclusively but in the last 3 years new gaming shows have sprung up in Chile, Colombia, and Peru.
Casinos of the Caribbean
Caribbean Gaming Industry
Caribbean Casinos and Gambling
Caribbean casinos take on their own theme which is of course tropical and beach flavored, care free and fun going and exciting! You'll be a happy gambler too when you see these casino resorts -- these are serious gambling paradises. Most of the casino resorts you'll find in the Caribbean have so much to offer you'll have plenty to do outside the casino with your family. You will find the casinos in Bahamas, Aruba, Barbados, Dominican Republic, the Virgin Islands, even Haiti. There are over 100 casinos in the Caribbean Islands. There is poker available, too.
Casinos are found in most Caribbean islands and can range from small 3-4 table and 10 slots operations in such countries as Haiti to huge operations like Atlantis in the Bahamas which has 78 table games, 800 slots and a huge sportsbook lounge. Other major gambling destinations in the region are Puerto Rico, Aruba all of which have double digit high quality casinos. The Dominican Republic has by far the most number of casinos and this figure is expected to rise to over 40 during 2007. Most of the other islands such as Martinique, Antigua, Guadeloupe, St. Kitts and Trinidad have only between 1-4 small but friendly casinos. Exotic destinations such as Bermuda and Barbados have still yet to legalize casino gambling.
The biggest casino you will find in the Caribbean Islands would be Princess Port de Plaissance Hotel and Casino located in Cole Bay, Sint Maarten, Netherlands Antilles. The Caribbean country with the highest number of individual casinos is the Dominican Republic which has 31 casinos recorded in our database.
Horse betting on races is also quite prevalent in Caribbean and those interested could check out the various destinations where it is available. This could include Guadeloupe that offers horse tracks at Gosier, at the Hippodrome de Pointe a Pitre. Also, Jamaica offers horse tracks in Saint Catherine at Caymanas park while Martinique offers them in Lamentin at Hippodrome de Carrere Lamentin. Puerto Rico has probably the largest track at El Comandante.
Although not generally thought of when thinking of casinos in the Caribbean there are active lotteries. Jamacia has a lottery as well as St. Kitts, Nevis, St. Thomas and others.
There is now a Caribbean gaming show that will be held each year in Puerto Rico. The Caribbean Gaming & Hospitality Conference. Job seekers can find a job in Caribbean Casinos casinos in our new job section, or casino managers / human resource departments can post a job for free.
Explore gambling in Australasia
Australasia Gaming Industry
Oceania Casinos / Australasia Gambling
The continent of Oceania is sometimes referred to as Australasia which is mostly Australia but includes New Zealand and some other minor islands.
Australian Casinos: Gambling in Australia is considered to be more frenzied than the rest of the world but it was not until the late 1970s that they actually had their first casino. Wrest Point Casino on the island of Tasmania was the first casino in Australia and it was quite sometime before the floodgates opened resulting in Australia now having 13 large international style casinos. No new casinos have been launched for a long time but one of the main operators PBL are likely to submit plans to open NSWs second casino.
New Zealand followed in Australias footsteps quite a few years later. Since 1994 when the Christchurch Casino opened the government has given out 6 licences to companies for legalised casinos to operate in New Zealand.
Very few of the islands have full blown casino gaming, the exception being Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, and New Caledonia. Major tourist destinations such as Fiji and Tahiti are constantly considering legalized casinos and new laws may be in place during 2007/2008.
Horse and Greyhound racing is huge and came well before Casinos in Australasia. The New Zealand TAB initiated the world's first Government-run totalisator betting service in 1951. In 1996 TAB added fixed odds betting to its horse and greyhound gambling options, when the TAB began sports betting. Tattersalls is advertisng the "Most Valuable Race Series in the World" with over US million at stake.
Lotteries are also very big in the region and perhaps one of the world's best known names in Lotteries and Sports books, in operation from 1881, has to be Tattersalls.
Gambling in Central Asia
Central Asian Gaming Industry
Central Asian Casinos and Gambling
Until April 2007 Kazakhstan was by far the main player in the area. Casinos mushroomed across Almaty, Astana, and other ex-Soviet cities during the 1990s reaching close to 140 during 2007. The vast Central Asian state introduced a law in January 2007 to end gambling in big cities by March 31. Casinos may now operate only in two small resort towns: Kapshagai, which is near Almaty, and Shchuchinsk, close to the capital Astana. Further updates will appear shortly.
Further North in Russia a few casinos operate. Many countries in Central Asia including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, Tajikistan, Turkey, and Uzbekistan have no licensed casinos so far. Azerbaijan also does not have a licensed casino as all were closed by the government in 1988. In India, Goa is the only state to have legalized casinos. Further south Sri Lanka has 9 casinos mainly in the capital Colombo.
Horse Racing. The competitive racing of horses is one of humankind's most ancient sports, having its origins among the prehistoric nomadic tribesmen of Central Asia who first domesticated the horse about 4500 BC.
Poker: Poker is played throughout the region and before casinos were forced to move in Kazahkstan there were some multimillion dollar tournaments there.
Lotteries: All of the countries in the region that have casinos have lotteries with the biggest being the Kazak Lotto. Most of the states in India have their own lotto which have the highest prizes in Central Asia.
Online gaming: Central Asia has one of the most undeveloped online gaming setups in the world, again probably due to the religious factor.
Gaming Industry shows: With the rise of Macau and now legislation in Singapore gaming shows are flourishing in Asia but the only gaming show ever held in Central Asia, in Kazakhstan will probably now be shelved.
Gambling in the Far East
Far East Asia Gaming Industry
Far East Asia Casinos and Gambling
Many countries in the Far East have casino gaming, but it is not surprising with events in Macau the last few years that many people think that the only country in the region with gambling is Macau (Macao). That said, Macau casinos are the most well known in East Asia.
Macau has had gaming for 150 years, but only since control of the colony reverted from Portuguese to Chinese in 1999 have things gotten hot in this tiny enclave. Macau is known for high rollers and these five star casino resorts leave no question in mind as to why they love Macau. In 2002 when the Chinese government opened up the gaming industry to casino operators outside of Macau the revenues of the casinos have overtaken those of Las Vegas. Read about the end of Stanley Ho`s monopoly on casinos in Macao.
Nearly all the countries in this region have taken notice and legislative efforts to legalize casino gambling are now creating strong interest in these countries. Of the countries without casinos, Singapore has been the first to take action, legalizing casino gambling in the end of 2006 and issuing two gaming licenses. Japan and Taiwan may be next, with Indonesia and Thailand left as the last main hold-outs.
South Korea and the Philippines have highly regulated and well established casino gaming available with tens of casinos in each country and expansion already in place for the next few years.
Malaysia has a very established casino in Genting Highlands and for many years it was the only casino in the country. For a long time Genting's casino was by far the largest casino in the world. Malaysia borders Thailand and many of Genting`s customers are Thai. In the late 1990s the countries neighboring Thailand started opening casinos up along the Thai border. Cambodia and Myanmar (Burma), now have many casinos and Laos which only had one for the last ten years has decided to issue another 10 casino licenses. Viet Nam is close by and it looks like the country is about to allow a major casino expansion.
Lotteries exist in one way or another in every country in the region and countries that have no casinos such as Thailand, China, and Indonesia have major lotteries.
Horse Racing, like lotteries, is a major chance to gamble, especially in countries which do not allow casinos. The Happy Valley Race Track, one of the most famous race tracks in the world, can be found in Hong Kong. The Happy Valley is part of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, one of the largest racing organizations in the world - they offer online betting, phone betting, PDA betting etc, all in addition to main horse racing operations. In mainland China the Beijing Jockey Club is one of the biggest horse-racing clubs. It is located in the Tong Zhou district and covers 160 hectares.
Although gaming shows and exhibitions have been held previously in the region, nothing has ever been as big as the G2E Asia - the latest show will be in mid 2007, and held in Macau.
Gambling in Western Europe
West Europe Gaming Industry
Western Europe Casinos and Gambling
Although nearly every country in Western Europe has casinos the three dominant countries, with around 500 casinos between them, are France, Germany and the UK.
Spain with nearly 40 casinos is next followed by Northern Cyprus, Netherlands, Portugal, Austria and Belgium. Italy while being one of the largest countries in terms of economy and area has only 4 casinos.
European casinos are steeped in history and none are more famous than Germany's Baden-Baden and Monaco is home to the Monte Carlo Casino. A new breed of casino will arrive on the continent in June 2007 when London Clubs moves away from the classical style of European casinos and bring Las Vegas to London with the grand opening of its "The Casino at the Empire". New legislation, the first in the U.K. will mean both a rapid expansion in the numbers of new casinos and the arrival of Europe's first ever Las Vegas style "Super Casino", which will be built in Manchester.
Certain countries, or states within them, in Europe, are being challenged in the European courts with infringement of monopoly laws. A classic example is the Netherlands, (Holland), where all 14 casinos are operated by the government company: Holland Casino. Casinos began in 1976 in Netherlands and although they have always had many illegal casinos no other company has ever been allowed to open casinos. In Austria another Government body Casinos Austria also held a stranglehold on the countries 12 casino licenses until an additional license was issued to the Austrian company Novamatic. From a small country like Austria, Casinos Austria have become probably the largest and well known operator in the world. Novamatic also has casinos in many parts of the world.
Of the Nordic countries, gaming came very recently to Sweden, (4 casinos,) and Finland only legalised one casino just over 10 years ago and has never increased the numbers. Denmark has had casinos for longer but the number there has remained constant at six. Norway, although by land mass size is one of the largest countries in Europe does not have casinos, nor does Iceland.
Most of the Countries/Islands in the beautiful Mediterranean Sea have casinos and you will find casinos in Malta (4), Gibraltar (1), Crete (1), Corfu (1), Majorca (1). Figures from Northern Cyprus seem to change often but there were around 20 mid-2007
You`ll find active lotteries throughout the continent, check here for lottery results: UK Lottery Results, Ireland Lottery Results and Euro Million Winning Numbers. For general information, click the lottery link at the top of this article.
Poker is also a fanatical thing in Europe much like everywhere else in the world it seems. There are some great poker rooms inside some very nice casinos to be had. Prepare to dress for the occasion, some casinos have strict dress codes.
Pari-mutuel facilities: dog tracks, horse tracks, etc... are also all over Europe. And these tracks in our opinion are much nicer than the tracks in United States. Horse racing in Europe is very exciting, each facility you visit will be different. In America most tracks are predictably oval shaped and flat, not so here. The race tracks in Europe are different at every facility. Different turns, different shaped tracks, some with pitch to them - not flat.
Gambling in Eastern Europe
Eastern Europe Gaming Industry
Eastern Europe Casinos and Gambling
There are 18 countries in Eastern Europe that have casino gambling including Russia which has the most and estimates of Moscow casinos reach 200 or more. Things are changing though in Moscow and casinos are being forced to move out of the city to far flung outposts within the next 2 years. Slovenia holds the largest casino and there are over 20 poker rooms in Poland, so we certainly have casinos in Eastern Europe.
Less than 20 years ago, under the old Soviet system, casinos were hardly heard of, or non existent in Eastern Europe. After the fall of the Berlin wall casinos sprouted up quite rapidly starting in Poland, 1989, and spreading eastwards. There is hardly a country in the region now that does not enjoy casino gaming with even impoverished Albania opening a high class Regency casino in its capital Tirana in the last 2 years.
Major gaming groups such as Cherry Foretagen and Casinos Austria led the way opening casinos across Eastern Europe and since casinos have become established major players such as Olympic and HIT casinos have taken over as the major operators.
Different from other parts of the world casinos are mainly for pure gambling entertainment but things are about to change with Sol Kerzner heading a consortium to build Europe's first truly gaming resort which will include 5 casinos in Hungary. Hungary is about the only casino in the region where casino numbers have gone down in the period and at present have only 6 casinos.
There is pari-mutuel gambling in Eastern Europe (grehounds and horse racing), too, and horse racing, "The sport of Kings" is prevalent throughout the Eastern bloc and has been for many more years than casino gambling.
Poker has been very popular in the region long before many other areas of the world. Cosmos casino in Moscow was holding International tournaments long before the worldwide poker craze started years ago. So poker players will easily find a game of Texas Hold'em with a little exploring of the local haunts -- there is no shortage of poker here. In addition to poker there are also active lottery systems in place throughout Eastern European countries.
Explore Gambling in Africa
African Gaming Industry
Africa Casinos and Gambling
Most countries in Africa have casinos but South Africa and Egypt easily have the most, with each country coming close to 40 casinos each. Kenya follows closely behind them with 20 available gaming licenses and there are many lesser known places in Africa such as the Seychelles which have one or two casinos.
Probably the most famous casino in Africa is Sun City Casino by Africa's largest gaming group, Sun International. Africa's most beautiful casino destination has to be the Planters Casino at the Plantation Club in Seychelles, Africa.
Sun International is the biggest player in Africa with 22 casinos located in South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Lesotho, Swaziland and Zimbabwe. Probably Africa's most profitable casino, Sun International's Grand West Casino in Cape Town, will have it's monopoly challenged by Gold Reef Resorts.
Casinos in South Africa are limited to 40 and more information can be found at the continents largest gaming board: National Gambling Board, which regulates South African gaming, and also from the website of Africa's largest casino association. South African casinos generate a huge portion of all African casinos combined and gross gaming revenue grew from R6,22bn in 2001-02 to R15,618bn at the end of last year (2008). Gauteng, with its seven casinos, was by far the biggest in terms of revenue generation, grossing R1,405bn in the last quarter 2008.
2009 and 2010 will finally see major casinos companies opening in African countries other than South Africa. In Nigeria Sun International will open in the Federal Palace hotel in Lagos while another gaming giant Kerzner International will open the Mazagan Beach Resort.& Casino in El Jadida (Casablanca) Morocco, both properties will be fully operational at the start of 2010. On June 17th 2009 American gaming giant MGM announced plans to develop the 550 room MGM Grand New Giza in the shadow of the Pyramids.
Northern Africa has quite a large Muslim population and the only countries with casinos are Morocco and Tunisia each having 4 or 5 large scale operations.
In Southern Africa the are major operations outside of South Africa in countries such as Botswana with 10 casinos and Zimbabwe with 9. Other countries in the region with between 2-5 casinos are Swaziland, Lesotho, Mozambique and Namibia.
Apart from Kenya, in West Africa the are casinos in Tanzania and Uganda. Established for many years in the region the East Africa Casino company recently added to their casinos in Kenya by opening the Mayfair casino in the Ugandan capital kampala.
Finally in the exotic Indian Ocean Islands of Mauritius, Seychelles, Reunion and Madagascar you will find between 3 and 9 casinos on each. South African gaming group Peermont which has 10 casinos in South Africa and Botswana announced on July 1st 2009 it had taken control of all Casinos of Mauritius group 5 casinos.
Poker is no stranger in Africa with South Africa regularly hosting nation poker tournaments and other poker related events. For a summary on poker in Africa please read our latest poker article here: Africa Poker. Major Poker tournaments were held recently in Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia and RSA. South African's now have their own poker association.
Africa has many lottery systems. The largest lottery in Africa is the South Africa National Lottery.
Horse racing is available in Africa, but not many countries have horse racing in them. The major exception to this rule of thumb would be South Africa where the sport is very big - South Africa has 11 race courses. More information can be found at the National Horse Racing Authority
Gambling in the Middle East
Middle East Gaming Industry
Middle East Casinos and Gambling
While one might think that the Middle East is devoid of gambling, they`d be wrong. It is true however that there is not a lot to pick from. Lebanon and Israel both have casinos however in Israel you must sail into international waters before gambling can commence. Lebanon is home to the most famous casino in the region and that is the Casino du Liban, a full entertainment complex which has over 500 slots and 65 table games.
One also cannot forget Egypt - although obviously geographically located in Africa, politically it is considered in the Middle East - and it is also is the only country in the Middle East to have more than one casino. If one looks really hard, you will find places to gamble in the Middle East. For a head start in your search: find gambling news, casino jobs, poker information and more by using the `explore menu` in the upper right hand corner of this article.
Horse racing and pari-mutuel facilities are far more popular than casinos in this area of the world. Horse racing in Dubai has become the best in the world with major events also held in Bahrain, Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia and even Iraq. With a purse of US million to the winner, March 2009 saw the 14th running of the richest horse race in the world, the Dubai World Cup.
Casino Resorts and Hotels in the Middle East can be reserved directly through World Casino Directory - and it helps support us, too. You will find helpful members and staff in the Middle East gambling forum to try to answer your questions. There is also a poker article here that runs down the current hold`em scene and more information on poker in the Middle East.
Explore casinos on oceanliners
Casino Cruise Ship Industry
Casino Cruise Ships - Oceanliner Casinos
Until the mid 1990's, cruise lines considered that casinos were just one more onboard diversion for their passengers who were happy with the low betting limits as they had relatively low gaming skills. Many of the major cruise lines leave from USA ports and now that nearly every state has some form of casino gambling the cruise lines have vastly improved the casinos both by number of games and limits allowed. The result: a rapidly growing base of players who also take cruises.
In just the last decade Cruise ship sailing has increase dramatically and so have the size of the vessels. In may 2007 the then largest cruise ship in the world, RCCL's Freedom of the Seas, had it's maiden voyage. Freedom of the Seas has more than 1,800 rooms for up to 4,375 passengers, is more than 1,112ft (339m) in length - longer than 37 double-decker buses. 10 years ago both ocean going liners and the casinos onboard were a fraction of the size of today's liners. Cruising is the world's fastest growing holiday choice and still has only reached a tiny percentage of its potential.
On December 5th 2009 Royal Caribbean's The Oasis of the Seas, a 16-deck, 220,000-ton mega cruise ship which can accommodate 5,400-passengers in 2,700 state-rooms, made it's inaugural voyage in the Caribbean.
Carnival Cruise Lines is by far the biggest Cruise ship company and has by far the most casinos. Carnival was formed in 1972 and today along with its associates, (Holland America Line, Princess Cruise, Cunard, and Costa Cruises), account for nearly half of the whole world's cruise ship fleet. Carnival started its fleet of Fun ships which are known for their Las Vegas decor and entertainment. RCCL and Celebrity cruise lines comes a distant second and third in the number of ships. Other major players are Disney, Holland America, NCL and Crystal. All major cruise lines now have casinos on board all their fleet with the exception of Disney which are the only cruise line yet to allow on board gaming.
Not only are the number of cruise ships growing at breathtaking pace but 95% of all new cruise lines launched between 2005 and 2009 have large casino areas that are a major revenue generator for the cruise companies. Casinos are now such a revenue earner for the cruise lines that some of the large operators have negotiated with Governments to open while their ships were in port and in late 2008 Bermuda followed the Bahamas in allowing this.
Innovative cruise lines now even cater to "high rollers" and now are prepared to "rate" players, buy them drinks and even offer free future cruises. Some on board casinos offer table maximums and comps that rival casinos such as those in Las Vegas. NCL's Casinos at Sea ™ players club was the first and is still the most popular player rewards scheme on the high seas. Even land based operator Caesars Palace of Las Vegas got in on the act and operated the luxury casinos on Crystal cruises but now Century Casinos of Colorado, operator of the casinos on board the four Silversea cruise ships, is the only land based operator managing casinos at sea.

This page describes how to get started if you want to build Activiti Designer yourself or if you want to extend Activiti Designer's features. It assumes you have a working knowledge of Eclipse, Maven and RCP development.
- Start by downloading a Helios version of Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers from here: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
- Download and install Maven 3 from here: http://maven.apache.org/download.html . Using Maven 2.x will not work, so make sure you have a compliant version. Commands listed further on will assume that you have the mvn command linked to Maven 3. Make sure your Maven settings are such, that Maven can access the Internet to access public repositories and download dependencies
- Add the Eclipse Modelling Framework (EMF) SDK
- Add Eclipse Graphiti SDK 0.7.1 from update site http://download.eclipse.org/graphiti/updates/0.7.1. We haven't moved to the new 0.8.x release of Graphiti yet and you may have trouble using it, so for the moment stick with 0.7.1
- Add a team provider for Subversion, such as Subversive
- Add the following location as source code repository: http://svn.codehaus.org/activiti/projects/designer/
As you can see, there are quite a number of projects in this tree. You will need to have all of them in your Eclipse workspace to build Designer yourself. It's important that you perform a checkout of all of these projects as top level projects in your workspace. Obviously, you can do without the examples folder, but you need the other projects.
- Checkout all of the folders in the source control location as top level Eclipse projects.
- Open a console and navigate to the directory of your Eclipse workspace and then into the org.activiti.designer.parent directory, which is of course the directory of the project with the same name. Now perform the following Maven commands:
This might take a while because Maven will now download a lot of dependencies to your local repository and setup the projects. Make sure the command ends with a Build Successful so you know everything's OK as far as Maven is concerned.
- Go back to Eclipse, select all of the projects and right click and choose refresh. The information set by Maven will now be picked up by Eclipse. If you like being thorough, you can perform a Project > Clean command as well.
- Your projects will still have lots of errors at this point. This is because most of the projects depend on the org.activiti.designer.model project, which contains, as you may have guessed, the data model that is used for diagrams. At the moment, the model is still missing and you need to generate it. Open the org.activiti.designer.model project and go to the model directory. Double click the BPMN20.genmodel file and select the root node in the tree that appears in the opened editor.
- In Eclipse's menu, go to Generator > Reload... Select the Ecore model item and click next. In the next page, leave the defaults and click next to move to the next page. Make sure all 4 elements that appear there are selected and choose Finish. If you are wondering what exactly you've just done: The BPMN20.ecore and other .ecore files in the model directory contain the model for EMF. The .genmodel file uses these files to create an overall model that can be used to generate code. That's why you reload the files into it first.
- With the same item still selected in the BPMN20.genmodel file, go to the Eclipse menu again and choose Generator > Generate all. Depending on your machine, this can take quite a while. EMF will generate code (Java classes) for the model and place them in the org.activiti.designer.model project, in src/main/java.
- After generation is complete, right-click the org.activiti.designer.model project and choose refresh. Your workspace should now trigger a build because it detects changes in the model project.
- Now you have a working environment for working with Activiti Designer. To run Designer, right click the org.activiti.designer.eclipse project and choose Run as > Eclipse application.
The projects
This section briefly describes the different projects used in Activiti Designer.
- org.activiti.designer.eclipse: contains the main extensions of Eclipse extension points and a lot of shared code for working with the model, saving resources and utilities.
- org.activiti.designer.gui: contains most of the UI code, mainly functionality that utilizes Graphiti for drawing diagrams.
- org.activiti.designer.mode: the EMF model project that holds the model for BPMN diagrams and BPMN Diagram Interchange.
- org.activiti.designer.help: help files for end users.
- org.activiti.designer.export.bpmn20: provides an extension of the ExportMarshaller extension point to generate BPMN 2.0 xml files.
- org.activiti.designer.export.image: provides an extension of the ExportMarshaller extension point to generate and image of a process diagram.

Why is there a cave in the Matt Brown Childrens' Reading Room? Why are there colorful bats fluttering from the ceiling and stalagmites dressing the walls? And why, oh why, is there a stegosaur skeleton hanging about?Well, because this summer's statewide reading program theme is "Dig into Reading", of course!. To celebrate, children pre-K to 12 are invited to sign up for an incentive program. Sign-up begins the week of June 3rd. Children will be given a reading book bag filled with instructions on how to log their weekly goals of reading, writing, and creative activities. Each week the log can be turned in for small prizes. Teens and adults can also join in the fun and set an example by reading, filling out a reader recommendation card, and thereby entering a weekly drawing for prizes. Performances and fun activities have also been scheduled. For pre-school and early elementary school children visit the library on Wednesdays at 10:30 starting June 12th as Camp Parkside Kindness Zone will be hosting Exploration Stations at the library (crafts, science, reading, and games). On Thursdays during the late afternoon, performances are scheduled for all ages to enjoy. The schedule is as follows:
Sign up begins June 3

When anyone talks about football dynasties in Mississippi, three teams usually come up in conversation. South Panola (8), Louisville (7) and West Point (6) combined boast 21 state championships since 1981.
Last December, the 5A state championship between the Green Wave and Wayne County featured nine titles between the two teams. Wayne County won its third ring in 2006.

A couple new staff members are about to join the ranks of the Burlington Police Department.
Let's give it up for Duke and Justice.
The dogs and their handlers — James Faucette and Travis Grogan — graduated last week from a 14-week K-9 handler class at Wilson Community College's Coastal Plain Law Enforcement Training Center in Wilson.
The dogs — both German shepherds — will go through an in-house evaluation Monday led by Burlington police officers. Providing all goes as expected, the dogs and their handlers will soon be on patrol.
"So far, we've been very pleased," said Lt. Brian Long, administrator of the department's canine program.
When Duke and Justice are declared worthy of patrol dog status, they'll bring to four the number of canines in service with the Burlington Police Department. Two previous dogs were "retired" from the department this past winter, deemed too aged or injured to continue the grueling tasks required of a police canine.
Those are the dogs Duke and Justice are replacing.
Long said the average length of service for a police dog is eight to nine years. Once they age out of their service years, they're typically deemed surplus property by city council members and sold at a nominal fee to their handlers. That's what happened to the two dogs that served their last shifts this past winter.
Long said Duke and Justice and similar police dogs don't come cheap, though they do come from a long ways away. The dogs cost about $7,000 apiece and are natives of the Czech Republic.
Long said sports involving canines are as popular there as football is in the United States. The dogs that come from Czechoslovakia traditionally make excellent police canines, he said.
Long said that before the dogs were enrolled in the training program in Wilson, they were referred to as "green" dogs. Now they're far more seasoned.
Long said the animals are trained for tracking, article search (if a fugitive has ditched a firearm in a field while running from police, for instance), apprehension and drug alert — able to let their handlers know if the car they've stopped is carrying marijuana, cocaine or heroin.
"These dogs are work dogs," Long said. "They enjoy staying busy."
Staff Sgt. Reid Metters is the canine supervisor for the Burlington Police Department. Metters and the department's four handlers and their dogs get together once a week for training.
Long said the dogs aren't playthings and stick pretty much to the supervision of their individual handlers. Still, Long said, officers are excited when new dogs are introduced to the police department's crime-fighting repertoire.
"We get to add more tools to the toolbox," he said.

One of Chicago's most elegant restaurants is Everest - located on the 40th floor of the Chicago Stock Exchange. My husband and I had the opportunity to experience Everest this past fall. We were greeted by the host who was very cordial and welcoming. He offered to take our coats as soon as we walked in. We were next greeted by the Maitre D' who was polite and professional as she guided us to our seats. We were offered a generous assortment of fresh breads including sour dough, French, multigrain, olive, and rye presented on a tray and presented by the food runner. Bread had very crisp crust with soft center; all choices were very fresh.
We were treated to an Amuse Bouche which contained three unique teaser portions – a small white spoon of fresh seasonal pumpkin puree sprinkled with small bits of crisp prosciutto, a small silver ladle filled with a fresh cauliflower soup, and a small white bowl filled with a thin slice of fried fluke atop a creamy slaw all presented on a long rectangular plate. Each small portion was extremely flavorful and refreshing; the fresh pumpkin was a great seasonal choice and paired very well with the saltiness and crunch of the prosciutto; the cauliflower soup was very rich and creamy; and the fried fluke and creamy slaw brought a nice familiarity to the overall presentation. This was a great way to start the experience!
For an appetizer we ordered the Roasted Main Lobster. This had a Generous portion of fresh roasted Maine lobster meat situated in a pool of Alsace Gewurztraminer butter sauce and sprinkled with ginger presented in a large white bowl. The lobster was extremely tender and flavorful overall; lobster meat paired perfectly with the richness and unique woody flavor of the Alsace butter sauce; ginger added a great subtle sweetness and a great contrast to the richness of the butter sauce.
For an entrée I ordered the Colorado Rack of Lamb. This dish had Three bone-in lamb fillets situated atop a root vegetable gratin and next to a sweet garlic flan garnished with a crisp thyme leaf and tomato and served on a large circular white dish. The overall tenderness of the lamb and the compliment with the garlic flan/vegetable gratin.
Our experience would not have been complete without dessert! We finished with the Banana Dessert – A large square of fresh banana crème brulee containing fresh diced banana pieces bordered with a soft chocolate cake and topped with a quenelle of fresh vanilla praline ice cream and a powdered sugar coated cookie accompanied by four small drizzles of thick maple syrup sauce. Unbelievable! Extremely rich and decadent overall; crème brulee was prepared perfectly and paired well with the moist chocolate boarder; diced banana pieces added a great textural balance within the dish as did the crispness of the crème brulee topping; fresh vanilla praline ice cream was very rich overall and added a great cool variation to the dish; maple syrup tied all ingredients together nicely and offered a great seasonal flavor. Great dessert!
The pace of the meal was excellent. Service was good and excellent very polite and professional. The server had a great attitude, and his food knowledge was impressive.

Sue Austin:
Deep sea diving ... in a wheelchair
When Sue Austin got a power chair 16 years ago, she felt a tremendous sense of freedom — yet others looked at her as though she had lost something. In her art, she aims to convey the spirit of wonder she feels wheeling through the world. Includes thrilling footage of an underwater wheelchair that lets her explore ocean beds, drifting through schools of fish, floating free in 360 degrees. (Filmed at TEDxWomen.)

You may have heard something in the media recently about "Security of US Passports Called Into Question" or "US Passport Security Endangered".
The Government Printing Office says the reports aren't entirely accurate.
Steve LeBlanc, Managing Director for Security & Intelligent Documents at the GPO, told Federal News Radio not to lose sight of one thing: "I don't want to lose the fact that this very secure travel document is manufactured right here in the United States by government workers in government facilities under total government control."
A report by ABC News and the Center for Public Integrity said that key components for e-Passports are made in Thailand and that the Thai site poses a potential long-term risk to U.S. interests.
LeBlanc pointed out that many, many components are used to make the United States passport.
One component in particular was assembled in Thailand by a subcontractor, but those operations have been moved from that location to Minnesota. Right now over 80% of the components are inlaid in Minnesota and by the end of the summer 100% of that operation, that basically supplies that component for us in the United States passport, will be made in the United States. It's a good story. the GPO worked very hard with our contractors to move those operations from overseas to U.S. soil.
Not only has there been no security breach in the electronic passport supply chain, the issue of outsourcing the production of U.S. passports is inaccurate, said LeBlanc.
It's absolutely not outsourcing. I will tell you and make it as clear as I can: the United States passport is printed, it's assembled, it's manufactured, it's shipped right here in the United States at two secured government facilities: one here in D.C. and one down in Mississippi. Now there was a component that we were being provided by one of our contractors from an overseas location and of course that's the chip and antenna inlay. Now that operation has been moved from Thailand to Minnesota and that move will be complete later this summer. This is not an outsourced product by any means. I will tell you that Americans, federal workers with proper security and background investigations are the only ones who come in contact with that passport to do its final assembly and integrity check.
Besides, the chips in question aren't even made in Thailand, said LeBlanc. "The chips are manufactured other overseas locations by contractors who successfully performed in our procurement back in 2004 and I will say that there were no U.S. firms that produced the 14443 ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) required chip technology that were able to compete and perform adequately for the United States to use that technology in our passport."
The GPO, said LeBlanc is "going through a brand new procurement" to find new partners or work with the same ones to see what new solutions the contracting community comes up with.

Frank Wins Tire Rack ProSolo Regular Season Finale at Toledo
TOLEDO, Ohio. (July 30, 2013) – Jason Frank, of Racine, Wis., won his first Tire Rack® SCCA ProSolo® Super Challenge at the Toledo (Ohio) Express Airport. Laura Campbell, of Madison, Ala., also took home top honors, winning the Ladies Challenge.
This was a must-attend event for many soloists from around the country, as the meet hit its cap of 260 entrants, with 70 on the waiting list, minutes after registration opened. The hosting Northwest Ohio Region supported the event extremely well, attracting the most workers at a 2013 ProSolo event in addition to supplying a well-liked course compliments of region member Alex Jones.
Throughout the weekend, competitors experienced below-average temperatures, which did not crack 80 degrees. In addition to the low temperatures, Mother Nature also made herself known through heavy rain that soaked the course on Saturday and Sunday.
Saturday's competition started under cloudy skies, but midway through Heat One the skies opened wide, drenching the course. Following some additional runs, the course began to dry out just in time for another deluge that hit late in the afternoon.
The weather saga was much the same on Sunday. The rain held off for most of the day, starting halfway through the first round of the Super Challenge and continuing to the round of eight. Regardless of the continued running, the surface remained wet until the conclusion of the event.
Frank (Street Touring Compact, ProParts USA/Team Undercoat Racing Honda Civic) headed into the Super Challenge after setting his class-winning times during Sunday's Heat Six. His combined score of 63.483 seconds sealed his class's top qualifying spot by 0.498-second.
Seeded fourth overall, Frank met Kraig Klippel (Street Touring Sport, Stranoparts.com Mazda Miata) in the first round. He defeated Klippel, and took on the best in Stock/Street Index 2, Alex Shchipkov (SoloRacer.com/MonoBalls.com BMW 330CI), in the second round. Frank took the win over Shchipkov, advancing to the quarterfinal round.
In the quarterfinals, Frank beat yet another class top qualifyier, besting Tom O'Gorman (Stock/Street Index 4, Full Throttle Indoor Karting/G-Fab Chevrolet Corvette) to move forward to the semis. There, Frank met his third straight driver who was fast in class, Ian Baker (Street Touring Sports, Toyo Tires/Strano Parts/SSC Tint Honda CRX SI). Following a win, Frank moved to the finals where he met with Jeremiah McClintock.
McClintock (Kart Modified, Nut Pack Racing!! Honda Renspeed) secured a class win Sunday morning, good enough for the 11th spot at the start of the Super Challenge. In the quarterfinals, McClintock beat Greg Olsen (Stock/Street Index 2, Strano Parts BMW 330 CI), then took out class-winner Mike Johnson (Street Touring R, Evolution Performance Driving School Mazda MX-5) in the semis.
In the finals, it was the nimble kart of McClintock against Frank's Civic. Frank would prove too much for McClintock, as he took his first Super Challenge win. In the third-place runoff, Baker emerged victorious over Johnson.
In the Ladies Challenge, Laura Campbell (Ladies Class 3, Honda S2000CR) beat Jordan Towns (Ladies Class 3, Dixie Audacity Mazda RX-8), Tammy Breece (Ladies Class 2, Ford Mustang) and Hilary Anderson (Ladies Class 3, Honda Civic SI) on her way to the final. In the final frame, Campbell beat Kim Whitener (Ladies Class 3, Texas Track Works/Motion Control Suspension Honda CRX) and took the Ladies Challenge title.
Michael Bosely (E Street Prepared, Ford Mustang GT) won the Bonus Challenge bracket.
The next stop for The Tire Rack SCCA ProSolo series is the Lincoln Air Park. The finale of the 2013 campaign is slated to start Aug. 31, in Lincoln, Neb.

The Reds have registered their first ever Super Rugby victory in Dunedin.
The Reds managed to hold on late in the match, winning 34 – 33 after having a 21 – 16 half time lead.
The Reds kept the Highlanders winless for another weekend of Super Rugby 2013, overwhelming them in the first half by scoring three tries. THe Highlanders kept themselves in the match with a few penalties and a single try from Elliot Dixon.
The second half started in much the same way, the Reds having all the possession and eventually scoring their bonus point fourth try. Highlanders coach Jamie Joseph made a host of changes and it was these replacements that turned the match around for the home team.
The last twenty minutes saw a new patient Highlanders style, which resulted in two tries and suddenly, their first win was within grasp. It wasn't to be though, as handling errors cost them late in the match, and the Reds held on for what was their first ever win in Dunedin.
The Reds will be delighted that firstly, they got the full five points, and secondly, captain James Horwill lasted a full hour while Will Genia played the entire match without a problem. The Reds depth has been tested so far this season, and with injuries drying up, the team is coming together and showing signs of the Champion team we saw two years ago.
The Highlanders struggled to get over the advantage line all game, lacking potency on attack with players not knowing what the other is going to do. This all resulted in passes going astray or going forward.
The Reds now have a bye and the Highlanders will head to Auckland to face the Blues.

Very Nice Quality!
These magnet holders really compliment the magnets well. They match perfectly! I love that I was able to write a personalized message on the back of them as well! The paper quality is very nice. I will definitely be ordering the matching invitations soon. I would without a doubt recommend the Save the Dates and the matching holders. Magnetstreet is a great company to do business with!
Loved this addition to the magnet
Love this, as we did not want a lot of info on the magnet itself gave another place to post information. Additionally makes the magnet fit perfect in the envelop and adds a level of class to the whole presentation.
This is far and above the quality we expected from an online company. The website made it easy to match the magnet with a carrier card. The material is beautiful, substantial and has the look of being printed on linen. The envelopes are lovely with the foil lining and the whole set is very expressive and cost is less than a discount greeting card. This company was excellent for confirming the order, communicating during the process and delivered with a tracking number. The box arrived before our list was complete. Thank you so much.
I initially ordered 25 and when they arrived, I was so stunned that I had to have more! I just wanted to pass them out to everyone they looked that good! The quality was well worth it! I especially liked that I could customize anything and everything. Recommending Magnet Street to everyone!

The Night Owl
After a very very eventful day, tonight wasn't really anything special. We all know Elissa went crazy today, to avoid having to re-write the details of all that, you can just read Scott's blog about it here: http://www.bigbrothergossip.com/bbg/2013/8/21/crazy-elissa.html .
Prior to Elissa's total insanity fest, most of the people in the house were targeting either Amanda or Amanda and McCrae for the upcoming week, but using "we are going after Elissa" as their cover story. However, now that Elissa decided to sink her own ship, everyone actually is after her. As mad as everyone is right now, I'm not even sure they will target the returning jury member over her, which in my mind is great. It would give whoever returns a week to re-integrate themselves in and try to form some bonds, make deals etc.. Instead of walking right back out the door the following Thursday. Unless it's Helen, in which case she can walk right back out at any time. PLEASE don't let it be Helen!! The only way I think Elissa will be able to be saved this week is 1. The HGs do decide to just oust whoever comes back, 2. she wins HOH (in which case Aaryn and Spencer will go up or Aaryn and Amanda) or 3. She wins veto again.
Anyway, after all the big events of the day, for a long time it was just Elissa bashing and Movie talk. Around midnight GinaMarie got very sad and started to cry in the cockpit. It's her birthday and she is a have-not, plus she felt some of the others were making fun of her. So, while she cried in the cockpit, the other HGs (minus Elissa) decided to toilet paper her bed and dress up in her clothes and throw a party to cheer her up. GinaMarie gave a speech and they all talked about their favorite GM moments, and everyone was happy for a while.
After the party was over, there was some general chit chat and then the HGs (minus Helen and Elissa) started speculating about the coming HOH. Amanda and McCrae do want Elissa out, but they are also after Aaryn this week. Everyone thinks this is going to be The Wall endurance. To be honest, I didn't pay attention to what time they were locked down, but it could very well be endurance. With a HG coming back from Jury, it would be fitting to do an endurance comp and make them really fight it out for HOH.
Helen has accepted that she is leaving, and the other HGs have made lots of plans for the upcoming week, but all of those may become null and void once the announcement of a returning player comes. We will just have to see. I am super excited as this should be a pretty crazy night regardless of who comes back and who wins HOH (GO JUDD!!). I'm going to prepare myself for an evening of madness. As always, you can follow me on twitter @ashes2ashes13 for more overnight live feed updates. Until tomorrow night...

Interesting question.....David Lee does it with fitting into a system and with constant effort and no drama...... Is he a max player?
Dwight may bring more defense but the distraction is not worth it IMO under the new CBA.... A team can really afford just one max deal and put a complete team on the floor. I'd spend a max slot elsewhere
but where? not many guys are leaving their franchises, and nobody better than dwight is projected to do so in the next few years. i'd pay max for dwight, even this version, and then i'd rebuild to his strengths.
it would be different if say, lebron, were a viable option. or even kyrie irving. but kevin love? josh smith? these guys are guys that will fetch high dollar salaries and are likely to change teams. 70% dwight is worth more than them, imo. but again, the lakers have to commit to playing to his strengths. they haven't done that yet.
and like i've said many times: he needs to start holding up his end of the bargain before he squawks about anything.
Agreed on the part about getting another star here..... But a max deal with no other star isn't going to cut it either.....we'll be decent but not a contender.... We need to develop talent....to do that we need to get some first. Something we've neglected for 15 years
