I disagree with that appraisal.
I'll soften this a bit - I'll just say that I think that's too easy a take on the situation. It's not like he played out of his mind because he was involved. He was very active tonight, and the Lakers looked to get him involved. Not sure that one was directly and solely responsible for the other.
i get your point but lets just say D12 is more likely to play harder if he is getting involved on the offensive end. He is no different than any other big in the history of the game an by that history has proven when bigs get touches they are more active on defense and on the offensive boards. it is no excuse because imo whether you get touches or not you should bust your butt on defense and that goes for every player.

In Her Words: "I believe I am where I am today because of God, hard work, a wonderful supportive family, and the education I received at SNU. I attended SNU and played tennis during my undergraduate degree in nursing, and it's wonderful to have the Christian education and the support of the nursing department to continue to play sports while in nursing school.

Comments about Mavic Womens Zoya Mountain Shoes 2015:
I got these shoes when I just started riding last summer. They are super comfortable and durable. I wanted shoes I could still wear if I did have to walk a section without falling on my butt and the traction is great! Would definitely buy these again. The velcro strap across the top is key to keeping them tight.

Taking Back Sunday
The group spent the rest of that year and much of 2003 touring, but when Nolan and bassist Shaun Cooper left the band (which was rounded out by drummer Mark O'Connell), Taking Back Sunday's future was left in doubt. However, guitarist/vocalist Fred Mascherino (ex-Breaking Pangaea) and bassist Matt Rubano (ex-Schleigho) filled out the lineup in time for the band's fall 2003 tour and subsequent recording sessions. The sophomore effort, Where You Want to Be, arrived in summer 2004 and debuted at number three on Billboard's Top 200, establishing Taking Back Sunday as a forerunner in the wave of commercial emo bands. It also introduced the vocal interplay of Lazzara and Mascherino, a combination that would briefly become one of the band's sonic calling cards. TBS toured steadily behind the album, headlining a sold-out North American tour and hitting the usual Warped Tour stops as well.
In the wake of Where You Want to Be's success, Taking Back Sunday signed with Warner Bros. in June 2005 and co-headlined several shows with Jimmy Eat World. Ever the hard workers, they returned to the studio in August to commence work on their third full-length album. Produced by Eric Valentine (Third Eye Blind, Queens of the Stone Age), Louder Now debuted at number two upon its release in April 2006. The album was a darker, more aggressive effort that tapped into the band's live energy, which was further displayed on the concert CD/DVD package Louder Now: Part Two. Despite the band's mounting profile, however, Fred Mascherino exited the lineup in October 2007 and launched a solo career. Several months later, former Facing New York member Matt Fazzi was announced as Mascherino's replacement, and the revised band spent the bulk of 2008 writing new material and playing sporadic shows. New Again, the first album to feature Fazzi's contributions, was released in summer 2009. The concert album Live from Orensanz followed in 2010. Later that year, the band announced that the lineup from their debut, Tell All Your Friends, would be reuniting in the studio for their next album. The following year, the band released their fifth studio album, the eponymous Taking Back Sunday, followed by the EP Faith (When I Let You Down). Celebrating ten years since the release of their debut album, the revived lineup embarked on a tour in 2012, playing the album in its entirety. A live acoustic version of the tour was released for download in mid-2012 and at the same time, the group announced that they had started to record their sixth album. Produced by Marc Jacob Hudson and Mike Sapone, Happiness Is was released in the spring of 2014. ~ Charles Spano, Rovi

Having doubted the Bulls on week one, Keo's bones have got up for this one, the roll of the bones suggesting a big one up the rear for the wild horses from Canberra in round two of the Vodacom Super 14.
The Brumbies boast so much experience and so many Wallabies. But their phase play is designed to cause themselves more hardship than the opposition when it comes to a visit at the bullring in Pretoria.
The Brumbies in Pretoria can take it through 10 phases, but Derick Hougaard's boot at altitude is designed to make more yardage than the Brumbies can in 10 phases. The Bulls will play the more conservative and the Brumbies just don't have the variation in their game to trouble the bully boys at home.
Keo's giving it to the Bully Boys by 10-15! Ouch, if you're a Brumby.
The news for the Stormers is not so good. The bones insist that the men in black are as bad as they were this time last week. Yes, the bones called it for the Cats but the bones have done a bit of time this week and know that it is against bones policy to ever back the Cats again.
The Stormers are playing a team, more skilled, more intelligent and more dangerous than the kitty cats they dealt with in Johannesburg. The Waratahs, famous for their Mad Monday drinking binges, should also be famous for a potent back three, a very good back row and a second row that is in the top four in the competition. Donut Dunning always provides good value in the competition and he and steady Eddie Andrews pretty much cancel each other out. There will be no fireworks in the tight five exchanges, but there should be plenty of bleeding when Schalk and his mate Watson meet Phil Waugh in those darkest of alleys where only mad men and opensiders dare go.
Waratahs by eight!
Cats … they'll get done by 10 points, even by a Chiefs team that enjoyed the delights of Cape Town's finest Russian women on their lap this week. Come to think of it, this could explain Byron Kelleher's demotion to the bench. Kelleher, as famous for his taste in partners as he is for his pass to the flyhalf, was spotted addressing what looked like a league of nations beauties. You gotta love the guy. At least he knows his priorities.
The Sharks, Keo.co.za's favourite Super 14 franchise, were true to form in beating the Chiefs in Durban. It was one the bones actually got right last weekend. Well, the bones to show impartiality, have entrusted the Cheetahs with victory in this derby.
If the boys from Bloem (and their management) can stay off the source long enough to put together 80 minutes of footy, they'll win it by seven. It is a big 'IF' and this throw comes armed with a 'RISK'. Back the boys from Bloem, but for god's sake don't bet your savings on it.
In New Zealand, the Blues will find some form at the House of Pain and somehow leave with a five to 10 point victory, the Hurricanes will play a mixed bag against the Farce and take it by 15 and the Crusaders will initially struggle with the Brisbane humidity but do enough to take the points against a rubble Reds side who should be keeping the Cats company at the wrong end of the table.
So, to recap, the bones (with a strike rate of 4/7) go:
Friday 17 February Highlanders v Blues Dunedin – Blues by 5-10
Friday 17 February Cats v Chiefs Johannesburg – Chiefs by 10
Friday 17 February Bulls v Brumbies Pretoria – Bully Boys by 10-15
Saturday 18 February Hurricanes v W. Force TBC – Canes by 15
Saturday 18 February Reds v Crusaders Brisbane – Crusaders by 10
Saturday 18 February Sharks v Cheetahs Durban – Cheetahs by 7
Saturday 18 February Stormers v Waratahs Cape Town

Pack it in the Phantom.
SciCon is an Italian company; it's only fitting that they make the sleek, minimal Phantom 230 Roller 2.0 Saddlebag -- that you can still cram everything into. Part of their trick in making this possible is their new Roller 2 mounting system.
If you recall the original Roller System (now Roller 1), you start with a plastic cleat that secures to your seat rails with the twist of a knob. Then you install the bag by matching the cleat with the opening in the binding mount. And give it a 1/4 turn. The Roller 2 takes that same idea and adds two tire levers to the design.
There's one mount for a tire lever outside the bag, and a mount for a tire lever inside the bag. To make sure the lever slots work, SciCon includes the levers. Building the two levers into the design frees up space in the bag, so you can fit more stuff in it. The bag itself has a mix of materials. The side panels are carbon fiber weave and the main panel is Cordura.
A zipper runs three quarters of the way around the bag, giving you easy access to everything inside. The interior of the bag is open, a single cavity, with a hook-and-loop strap for compressing the bag. Reflective piping runs along the seam between the carbon fiber and Cordura panels. The SciCon Phantom 230 Roller 2.0 Saddlebag measures 7x5.5x12cm and has a volume of 230 cubic centimeters (14.354 cubic inches).

Bought two, they both fell off!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I bought two of these. The first didn't fully lock in into the seat mechanism and fell off somewhere in the mountains with all my tools and a cartridge. I didn't learn and bought a second one which after a while started to rattle loudly. I attempted to glue it at the four mounting points and it held for a while, then completely detached at the four brackets. I have lost over $100 dollars on these poorly designed seat bags not to mention that they all rattle when you ride rough roads.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I wanted to find a pouch that I could use with an aero carbon seat post (Ridely Noah RS). I've yet to find a velcro system that is long enough for bigger aero seat posts. Therefore, I have a lot of $200 bibs that have velcro friction spots from rubbing against my old pouch.
This little gem solves my problem. I'm able to get two co2 cartridges, co2 nipple, 1 x 700 tube, couple dollars, and ID inside. I do worry that I'll lose the pouch on a bump...so far so good. Fairly aero for the racer.
Itty bitty
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The mounting system is killer and the built in tire levers are a nice touch. My multi-tool patch kit and a CO2 cartridge fit snugly, but I really don't need to pack anything else. The craftsmanship and finish are top notch.
After a year, 5ish months of use the bag broke on me during a group ride, needless to say not fun. Bummed that it wasn't more durable I like the option of not having Velcro on my seat post.

April 11, 03
Vol. 18 , No. 11
Senior Art Show
FRIDAY, APRIL 11, 2003 3:00 p.m.- 4:30 p.m.
When asked about the representation of the soul, a typical CMC student might refer to philosophical writings or literature. Senior Sarah Awad, however, turns to paint. "Corresponding with my belief that everything physical has a spiritual connection," Sarah writes, "I have always sought to express something deeper than the transitory nature of a person, something beyond the finite flesh." Her current body of work, a culmination of a four-year struggle with diverse styles and mediums, concentrates on portraiture. Through this focus, she hopes to reassign value to the human individual and place particular emphasis on the role of portraits as a method of attaining a fuller knowledge of who humans are and who they are created to be. Sarah is a studio art and math major at Claremont McKenna College. In addition to her show and reception at the Athenaeum, Sarah's work will also be shown in the Williamson Gallery at Scripps College on April 25. All are invited to attend.
Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra Soloists: Chamber Conversations
PATRICIA MABEE, harpsichord
ALLEN VOGEL, oboe
MARGARET BATJER, violin
SAMUEL FORMICOLA, viola
VICTORIA MISKOLCZY, viola
DOUGLAS DAVIS, cello
Since its founding in 1969, the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra has earned international acclaim for its unsurpassed virtuosity and versatility. Under the baton of Jeffrey Kahane-who in 1997 became the fifth in a succession of extraordinarily distinguished music directors (following Sir Neville Martinet, Gerard Schwartz, Iona Brown, and Christof Perick)-this 40-member ensemble has enjoyed standing ovations at sold-out performances in venues ranging from inner-city L.A. elementary schools to Carnegie Hall. Known for its innovative programs, the Orchestra performs a startlingly varied repertoire-from Corelli to Corigliano, Locatelli to Lutoslawki, Schubert to Steinmetz. Demonstrative of the Orchestra's commitment to new music is its Sound Investment, a group of LACO patrons who each season combine their resources to commission a new work, which is then premiered as part of the Orchestra's subscription concert series.
Education and community outreach have always been vital to the mission of the L.A. Chamber Orchestra. Meet the Music, a program offered in cooperation with the Los Angeles Unified School District, allows students in grades 4 through 6 to have personal contact with musicians and composers and participation in the musical community. Another series, Neighborhood Concerts, is an outreach and community education program designed to bring live concerts by the Chamber Orchestra to local community venues in economically and culturally diverse L.A. neighborhoods. Still another way of bringing down traditional barriers between musicians and audiences is Conversations, an interactive series featuring music of the Baroque and Classical periods. As in this evening's presentation, the players not only communicate through the language of music, but also engage in dialogue with the audience.
For this program, six world-class Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra soloists will perform works by Georg Philipp Telemann: (Trio Sonata in G minor for violin, oboe and continuo), Johann Sebastian Bach (Sonata in G major for viola and harpsichord, BWV 1027), and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Quintet in C minor for oboe, violin, two violas and cello, K. 406). This event is sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.
The Economic Welfare Cost of War: An Empirical Assessment
What would the world pay for peace? War carries heavy economic costs. In the months leading up to the war in Iraq, the stock market languished, unable to shake the negative economic effects of the pending conflict. When the war commenced with the full glory of the "shock and awe" campaign, U.S. and foreign markets surged under the expectation that the war would be won quickly and decisively. Unfortunately, the gains disappeared just as quickly as they had appeared when U.S. and British forces began to encounter what the news media described as "set-backs" in the war campaign.
Claremont McKenna College Professor Gregory D. Hess can confirm empirically what the markets seem to know intuitively: war is bad for the economy and economic welfare, especially when it is drawn out and bloody. In a recently published paper Professor Hess asks the intriguing question: what is peace worth? How much would people rationally pay to secure it? The value of peace is, of course, more than just the economic cost of war, but looking at these economic costs at least sets a lower bound for what the nations of the world might be willing to pay. In his Athenaeum lecture Professor Hess will explore this issue, and share some of his fascinating findings.
Professor Hess is currently the Russell S. Bock Professor of Public Economics and Taxation at Claremont McKenna College. Prior to coming to CMC he was the Danforth-Lewis Professor of Economics at Oberlin College, and he has also held permanent teaching appointments at Cambridge University and the University of Kansas. He has also served as a visiting scholar and academic consultant for the Federal Reserve Banks of Cleveland and Kansas City and the IMF, and as an economist for the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.
Professor Hess is a prolific writer, and his articles have been published in numerous books and academic journals. His recent work includes "Is there Evidence of a Poverty-Conflict Trap?" (October 2002), "For Better or For Worse: State Level Marital Formation and Risk Sharing" (October 2002), and "Terrorism from Within: An Economic Model of Terrorism" (September 2002), as well as the paper from which his lecture topic is drawn.
The Global War Against Women
"I believe that the world owes her a debt of gratitude for all she has done over the years to place women at the very center of development."
-Hillary Rodham Clinton
The world's population may grow to more than nine billion people by the year 2050. How will the international community respond to this development, environmental and humanitarian challenge? Dr. Nafis Sadik is currently the Special Envoy of the United Nations Secretary-General for HIV/AIDS in Asia. She has served the United Nations for over 30 years and was appointed Executive Director of the United Nations Populations Fund (UNFPA) in 1987. Upon her appointment, Dr. Sadik became the first woman, in the history of the Untied Nations, to lead one of its major voluntarily-funded programs. Under her leadership as Secretary-General of the landmark International Conference on Population and Development, held in Cairo in 1994, an approach to reproductive health that fosters female empowerment through education and economic opportunity was unanimously agreed to by the international community.
Dr. Sadik is a native of Pakistan. Educated at Loreta College in Calcutta she received her Doctor of Medicine degree from Dow Medical College in Karachi before serving her internship in gynecology and obstetrics at City Hospital in Baltimore. Upon her return to Pakistan she ran the women's and children's wards of Pakistani hospitals. She later served as Pakistan's Director-General for the Central Family Planning council responsible for the country's health and family planning program before joining the U.N. in 1971.
Her efforts and contributions in the field of population and development have been honored by the governments of Indonesia, Pakistan, and Egypt, among others, and by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Dr. Sadik is also a member of the Board of Governors of the Foundation for Human Development and the South Asian Commission on the Asian Challenge. From 1994 to 1997 she served as the President of the society for International Development. Dr. Sadik is the author of numerous publications in the areas of reproductive health and family, population and development, women, and gender and development.
Dr. Sadik's visit to Claremont is jointly sponsored by VOX: Voices for Planned Parenthood at the Claremont Colleges and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum.
EU Enlargement and Economic Catching-up of the Candidate Countries
THURSDAY, APRIL 17, 2003 12:15 p.m.
Next year Poland will be among the first group of Eastern European countries to become full members of the European Union. No one deserves more credit than Leszek Balcerowicz in setting Poland on the necessary economic course to join this union of advanced European states. Currently serving as the governor of Poland's Central Bank, Dr. Balcerowicz is the most influential economist in Poland and one of the most prominent politicians in all of Eastern Europe today. Dr. Balcerowicz travels to Claremont from the Central Bank in Warsaw to share his insights on Poland's accession to the European Union.
Dr. Balcerowicz has an impressive history of public service and academic accomplishment. Before the collapse of communism in Poland, Dr. Balcerowicz taught economics and held academic posts in his country and abroad. In September 1989 he became Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance in the first non-communist government in Poland. He also served as President of the Economic Committee of the Council of Ministers. In this vital period in Poland's transition to capitalism and democracy, he designed and executed the radical stabilization and transformation of the Polish economy. He remained in the government until December 1991. From April 1995 to December 2000 he was the president of the Polish political party, Freedom Union (UW). From 1997 to June 2000, Dr. Balcerowicz again served in government, returning to the posts of Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Finance and President of the Economic Committee of the Council of Ministers. In January 2001, Poland's parliament appointed Dr. Balcerowicz to the post of the President of the National Bank of Poland. He remains in this post today.
In addition to his public service, Dr. Balcerowicz has remained an active scholar in the field of economics throughout the 1990s.

South Asia- What Lies Ahead
What lies ahead for South Asia? General Y.M. Bammi will share his perspective on the prevailing strategic environment in South Asia, with special reference to terrorism, fundamentalism, nuclear issues, and their international ramifications. Touching on post-9/11 realignments in the region, he will chart a road map for future cooperation between the United States and South Asia, with special emphasis on the India/Pakistan/Afghanistan/Iran quadrangle. The impact of the U.S.-Iraq Conflict will also be analyzed.
During his 37 years of distinguished military service in the Indian army, General Bammi played an active role in counter insurgency operations, the 1962 India-China war, and the 1971 India-Pakistan war in East Pakistan which led to the establishment of Bangladesh. He commanded an infantry battalion on the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, an independent infantry brigade, a mountain division, and a strike corps. Bammi retired as the Director General of Assam Rifles-India's oldest paramilitary force guarding the North East frontier. He served as instructor with the Royal Bhutan Army from 1963-1965 and was India's defense advisor in Malaysia and Singapore from 1977-1980. He has traveled extensively, including to the USSR, Germany, the U.K., France, Thailand, Nepal, and Japan.
In addition to contributing articles on various security subjects, including the Pakistan army, Gen. Bammi recently completed a research thesis on South East Asia. His first book, Kargil 1999: The Impregnable Conquered was released by Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw, MC, in October 2002, and is currently under reprint. An active member of the Indian Institute of Strategic Studies, he is a visiting lecturer at the Indian Institute of Advance Studies, the Infantry School at Mhow, College of Land and Air Warfare, and the Indian National Police Academy. He is a research fellow at the United Services Institution of India and a member of the Gorkha Rifles foundation in the United Kingdom.
General Bammi is a graduate of the Defense Services Staff College, Higher Commanders Course and Senior Defense Management Course, and has a master's degree in Military Science.
General Bammi's visit is cosponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum.
Beyond the Beehive
TRICIA SCOTTI, guitar
GABRIELLA OSTROWSKA, piano
Ronnie Spector sang "Be My Baby" as the ultimate bad Catholic dream girl, a barely legal Spanish Harlem incident with a voice that's been blowing woofers since 1963. She is St. Veronica, blessed among women, inspiring bad girls from Patti Smith to Madonna to spend years chasing her echo, not to mention nice Catholic boys like Scorsese, Springsteen and Johnny Thunders.
-Rob Sheffield
Rolling Stone, October 28, 1999
Ronnie Spector, a self-described "girl from Spanish Harlem," is an icon in the world of rock-and-roll music. Revered by artists and fans alike, Spector achieved success in the 1960s while still in her teens as lead singer and founding member of the quintessential girl group, the Ronettes. With chart-topping hits like "Be My Baby" (1963), "Walking in the Rain" (1964), and "Baby, I Love You" (1963), the Ronettes were the original bad girls of rock. In the Sixties Spector's opening acts ranged from the Rolling Stones to Eric Clapton and the Yardbirds. The Ronettes were personally invited by the Beatles to open for their final U.S. tour. Other rock legends with whom Spector has performed and recorded include Bruce Springstecn, Jimi Hendrix, Joey Ramone, Patti Smith, and Alice Cooper.
At the height of Ronnie Spector's success, she became trapped in an abusive marriage that deprived her of the stage, the recording studio, and, for a time, her identity. Instead of playing to packed houses, she lived behind electric gates, barbed wire, and guard dogs, enduring nonstop psychological and emotional torture. At the age of 29, she fled from ex-husband Phil Spector's mansion in her bare feet. Despite enormous obstacles, Ronnie Spector found her way back to the life and career in music she had lost.
In Beyond the Beehive, Ronnie Spector chronicles her unique odyssey from the Peppermint Lounge to Beverly Hills, from hit men to hit records, from disenfranchisement to the courtroom, and from CBGB's to performances for the leaders of the free world. With humor, innocence, and optimism, she tells her story as the ultimate rock-and-roll survivor.
Her performance is part of the Intercollegiate Women's Studies series Women, Music, and Activism and is jointly sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies, the CMC President's Office, the CMC Dean of the Faculty's Office, and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum.
The Last (Suburban) Man: The Suburbs and American Politics
THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 2003 12:15 p.m.
David Brooks's wit and insight into the new bourgeois-bohemian class (bobos) is vividly displayed in Bobos in Paradise: The New Upper Class and How They Got There (2000, Simon & Schuster). Brooks is currently writing a book on suburban man, a class that overlaps the bobos, and his lecture will sketch the themes of his most recent work. Attendees can expect a presentation characterized by a combination of humor and understanding second to none among contemporary journalists.

Under the Lights Presents
Dinner Theater
Eat Your Heart Out by Nick Hall
Rebecca Hermanowicz `03 , director
THURSDAY-SATURDAY, APRIL 24, 25, and 26, 2003 6:00 p.m.
Under the Lights, CMC's longest running student theater group, is proud to present Nick Hall's Eat Your Heart Out (1975), a comedy in three acts.
This hilarious comedy follows the exploits of Charlie, an aspiring actor, as he waits tables in restaurant after restaurant waiting for his big break. Among his regulars are Doris, a burger-and-fries girl engaged to a snails-and-oysters guy, and Mr. and Mrs. Carter, a married couple trying to escape their boring rut. Between cheesy commercials and small stage parts, Charlie struggles by in his 'toy job', trying to satisfy his finicky customers. But even harder to please are the fickle casting directors who make him jump through hoops for a chance at stardom. Come share in Charlie's highs and lows as he strives to maintain his dignity ... and his sanity ... in both jobs.
The cast: Stefanie Altman '06, Gina Banks '03, Megan Brotherton '04, Tanya Giang '03, Ahmar Iqbal '03, Megan Lloyd '03, Navid Mehrjou '03, David Mistysyn '05, Amy Nelson '05, George Swaner '06, Andy Tharp '04, and John Van Wyck '06.
The play lasts approximately two hours, and contains some adult humor. Dinner theater is made possible by Under the Lights, the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum, and ASCMC.
Claremont Colleges students, faculty, and staff NO CHARGE
Community guests $17.00 per person
Seating will be festival style and is limited. Sign up early, and please circle your choice of dates very carefully.

Jetty is a project at the Eclipse Foundation.
|Jetty Powered:
private support for your internal/customer projects ... custom extensions and distributions ... versioned snapshots for indefinite support ... scalability guidance for your apps and Ajax/Comet projects ... development services from 1 day to full product delivery
Ant Jetty plugin
There is a new plugin available in the /extras/ant location, which makes it possible to start Jetty web server directly from the Ant build script, and, actually, to embed the Jetty web server inside your build process.
It's purpose is to provide almost the same functionality as Jetty plugin for Maven, e.g. dynamic application reloading, working directly on web application sources, tight integration with build system, etc.
For the impatient ones, there is already a demo provided in jetty-contrib repository for the Ant Jetty plugin.
It's good to have jetty compiled before running these tests, because the demo depends on Jetty JARs from the Maven repository. Alternatively, you can download these JARs manually from one of the Maven repositories. Please take a look at build.xml file in jetty-ant-demo folder for a list of needed JARs.
Modifying build.xml from jetty-ant-demo is also the easiest way to start playing with this plugin.
How to start?
(Obviously) Ant plugin depends on Jetty JARs, and so far it's necessary to build Jetty and then Ant plugin directly from sources. Here's how it goes:
- Get the latest jetty sources from http://dist.codehaus.org/jetty/
- Unpack jetty and build it with 'mvn install' (If you don't have Maven yet, grab it from http://maven.apache.org/)
- Go to the extras/ant/ folder and build ant plugin with 'mvn install'
- Go to <your M2 repo root>/repository/org/mortbay/jetty/jetty-ant and grab the jetty-ant plugin JAR.
- Get these files to run Jetty with JSP/Servlets support (find these in <your M2 repo root>/repository/org/mortbay/jetty):
- jetty.jar
- jetty-util.jar
- jetty-plus.jar
- jetty-naming.jar
- servlet-api-2.5.jar
- jsp-api-2.1.jar
- jsp-2.1.jar
- and core-3.1.1.jar from <M2 repository>/org/eclipse/jdt/core/3.1.1/
- Put all the JARs inside one lib directory (let's say jetty-lib).
How to prepare build.xml file?
Let's start with an empty build.xml file:
Then, a jetty task must be defined:
Now, we are ready to add a new target with Jetty container declaration:
Starting jetty on port 8080 is then a simple matter of executing ant jetty.run from the command line.
How to deploy web applications?
Adding web applications to the Jetty web server is now a simple matter of putting extra webapp tags inside jetty tag.
Notice, that a tempDirectory attribute has been added to the jetty task to specify where temporary files are stored.
It's possible to put many webapp tags inside jetty tag, thus to deploy many web applications simultaneously.
Plugin syntax
There are many ways to configure jetty task:
- tempDirectory - specifies the Jetty temporary web directory:
- requestLog - defines a request logger:
- jettyXml - applies additional configuration via a standard jetty.xml file:
- systemProperties - adds system properties when starting Jetty:
- connectors - defines Jetty connectors (a better way still needs to be developed):
- userRealms - adds authentication via user "realms":
There are also many ways to configure web applications with webapp tag:
- name - name of a web application, which is used by DefaultServlet to display application description
- warfile - path to .war file or a directory with web application contents:
- contextPath - a context path a particular web application will be deployed to, and thus where it will be accessible (http://localhost:8080/webapp in this case):
- jettyEnvXml - path to jettyEnv.xml file with JNDI resource declarations
- webXml - path to web.xml file. If not specified, the default (location-of-war-file/WEB-INF/web.xml) location is used:
- scanTargets and scanIntervalSeconds - used to point to a special files/folders which need to be scanned and specify scanner interval in seconds respectively. If any of files changes the web application is being automatically reloaded. Scan interval and scanned files can be adjusted per web application.
- lib - specifies which libraries needs to be included for a particular web application (treated as files inside WEB-INF/lib folder). Multiple lib tags are allowed.
- classes - specifies which folder contains web application classes (treated as WEB-INF/classes folder). Multiple classes tags are allowed.
- connectors - specifies additional web application connectors

Molinard Vanille
I just recently ordered a sample of SDV from Guerlain and Un Bois Vanille from Serge Lutens and I am looking for a creamy vanilla fragrance.
Can I get at least three suggestions from you guys?
Molinard Vanille
Please feel free to check out my Swap Thread - Patou pour Homme, L'Instant de Guerlain PH Extreme, Dior Homme Intense, Pure Malt, Pure Coffee and many more! Click Here For My Swap Thread
Tobacco Vanille
Chanel Pour Monsieur Concentree
Guerlains Tonka Imperiale
Havana Vanille/Vanille Absolument, L' Artisan
There is a MOntale called Vanilla something...
I love Un Bois Vanille for the price. If money is no object purchase Guerlain SDV. Tonka Imperiale is definitely worth a sniff as well.
Vanille Havane
Tobacco Vanille
Vanille Tonka
Bulgari Black
+1 for Vanille de Molinard.
"No elegance is possible without it...perfume is a part of you." Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel
Gaultier 2 - tons of vanilla, lots of amber and some musk
Tobacco Vanille is my favorite vanilla.
To add to the great list above, Cuir Beluga. Not really a vanilla based frag but smells like tiramisu. =)
Bond No. 9 Andy Warhol Success is a Job in New York.
+1 Cuir Beluga ( Silk & Leather )
Felanilla ( cream - banana )
LArtisan Vanilia (smooth floral ylang-ylang )
Comptoir Sud Pacifique ( gourmand vanilas )

PS, Egoiste, Opium pour Homme, Jaipur Homme.
Guerlain Spiritueuse Double Vanille is my go-to vanilla treat. It is so, so fine. I am about to spring for Tonka Imperiale. And even Creed Sublime Vanille is calling my name. Guess I'm on a vanilla binge, eh?
Another couple where the vanilla used is perhaps not so "too much of a good thing":
Shalimar Ode a la Vanille (Guerlain)
Vanille Galante (Hermes)
A vanilla centered fragrance that is actually good--that's a tough one. I'd recommend Caron pour un Homme though you must like lavender or perhaps something a little drier like Patou's discontinued Ma Liberte.
Just sampled Spiriteuse Double Vanille and there was nothing other than vanilla extract on my skin. This has been the best recreation of vanilla on my skin but nothing else! I gotta say I am disappointed.
D&G The One is a nice little vanilla based scent that's widely available and not too pricey. Tobacco Vanilla is a perfect fragrance, but I wouldn't necessarily classify it as a vanilla scent or recommend it for someone looking for vanilla -- it's more off on its own.
Not mentionet yet:
Eau des Baux
Honey Vanille
Hypnotic Poison
Also, my very favorites, with this above:
Tobacco Vanille
Tobacco Vanille <3
SDV - Guerlain
Un Bois Vanille - Serge Lutens
Tobacco Vanille - Tom Ford
Havana Vanille - L'Artisan
Vanille Absolutment - L'Artisan
Eau Duelle - Diptyque
Tonka Imperiale - Guerlain
Musc Ravageur (DRY DOWN) - Frederic Malle
Pi - Givenchy
AND OF COURSE Le Male - Jean Paul Gaultier (HATE IT)
Havana vanille is good! Also I like PI and vanilla by Santa maria novella
Current Top 5:
Tabac, Cardinal, Brookes Brothers, Musc Kublai Khan, Andron
Meharees L`Erbolario
I'd agree that you could do a lot worse than Caron Pour Un Homme.
'...And you'll carry me down on your dancing
To the pools that you lift on your wrist...'

Tiger Mom Rap Lyrics
by Jen Kwok
Ungh. Rarr. Ungh. Rarr.
Yo, I'm the tiger mother
Hardcore parenting like no other
But I'm also a professor at Yale
And I got a crazy ass new book on sale
Talkin bout how Chinese mothers are superior
Rest of ya'll with Montessori are inferior
I don't allow sleepovers or play dates
My kid's have fun doing math on a milk crate
Cuz they're gonna be tough! So tough! After they have been broke down emotionally first.
Let me tell you bout my battle hymn
Piano violin piano violin
Extreme Asian parenting
I raise my kids to be high achievers
Building on their minds all the time like beavers
Cuz DAMN my kids never get less than 100 on a test
If they did I would flip the f*** out
So I found the key to perfection is assimilation
Don't let my daughters out the house so life's a simulation
Now I'm selling my techniques like a corporation
And I'm married to a guy named Jed!!!
Let me tell you bout my battle hymn
Piano violin piano violin
Extreme Asian parenting
Hippie western parents are ok with a B-minus
Mediocrity is like the blanket on Linus
I ripped up the birthday card you gave to me
Cuz it's more Hallmark than Papyrus
I want my kids to feel like Rocky – "Adrian!"
But first they gotta feel like Gollum – "Precious!"
Practice a billion times till you get this
If you're not perfect you will get an eye infection
So you better keep practicing. Better get perfect. Or else…you will turn into garbage. A large garbage can. They're gonna pick you up on Sunday and Tuesday nights unless there's a holiday and you'll be living at the landfill like Oscar the Grouch.
Gladwell says it takes 10,000 hours to be good
Well I say 500 bajillion 74 to the pi times infiniti divided – no, not divided….
Let me tell you bout my battle hymn
Piano violin piano violin
Harvard, Columbia and Princeton
Piano violin piano violin
I've got to make perfect children
Extreme Asian parenting
I'm crazier than all the other moms
Crazier than Natalie Portman's mom in Black Swan
Barbara Hershey!!!!! She was so powerful in Beaches
I'm crazier than Joan Crawford
No wire hangers? No wire hangers? No WOODEN hangers! No plastic hangers!
No titanium! Or crochet!
I only like these velvet ones I got from Crate & Barrel

|John Nygren
|Wisconsin State Assembly District 89
| Assumed office
| Current term ends
January 3, 2013
|Political party
|Insurance/Financial Representative
|Assembly website
Nygren has worked as an insurance/financial representative, and restaurant owner.
He is a lifetime member and former national president of the Jaycees, former chair of the Marinette County Grand Old Party, and former President of the Marinette Kiwanis.[1]
On his campaign site Nygren lists his positions on a number of issues, including:[2]
- Jobs & The Economy - "We must invest in our people to ensure that they are properly trained for the jobs of today, and tomorrow. I support tax credits for employer assisted higher education so that employers might invest in its employees."
- Taxes - "Reducing our tax burden is a top priority. I will work to eliminate job and innovation killing taxes such as the Wisconsin's Death Tax and Internet Tax."
- Government Spending - "A good place to start saving taxpayer money is to stop giving taxpayer-funded benefits (including free College tuition) to illegal aliens. I support legislation, vetoed by Governor Doyle, to stop illegal aliens from raiding our tax dollars."
- Health Care - "People need access to information on hospitals and doctors in order to be smart consumers. Giving more power to health care users will help keep costs down as providers compete for their business. I will continue to support legislation that would require disclosure of these costs to you, the consumer."
- Gun rights - "I am a strong defender of the right of individuals to protect themselves, I oppose efforts by those who would trample on our constitutionally protected rights to keep and bear arms."
- Ethics and Campaign Finance - "Open, honest government is the only way to combat unethical political behavior. One way to ensure that our system is clean is full disclosure. If everyone can see what elected officials are doing, unethical behavior is reduced."
Committee assignments
In the 2011-2012 legislative session, Nygren has been appointed to these committees:
- Finance Committee
- Joint Committee on Finance
- Insurance Committee
- Joint Committee on Legislative Council
In the 2009-2010 legislative session, Nygren served on these committees:
2011 recall
Nygren announced on May 10 that he would run against Democratic state Sen. Dave Hansen in a recall election.[3] Mary Scray, vice chair of the Brown County Board, had considered running, but endorsed Nygren instead.[4][5] About 18,872 signatures were filed against Hansen on April 21, seeking his recall.
In announcing his candidacy, Nygren criticized Hansen for fleeing to Illinois to prevent a vote on the Scott Walker Budget Repair Bill. Nygren said Hansen "walked off the job, fled the state of Wisconsin, and literally turned his back on the people he swore an oath to represent." [6]
David VanderLeest, who organized the recall campaign, is also running for the seat.[7] VanderLeest and Nygren will face off in a primary on July 19, with the winner facing Hansen in the recall on August 16.
Nominating papers challenged
The Democratic Party of Wisconsin filed challenges against the nominating papers of Nygren, Kim Simac, Robert Lussow and David VanderLeest on June 24. The Wisconsin Government Accountability Board considered the challenges on June 27,[8] certifying all of the candidates except for Nygren. While he turned in 424, the Board found only 398 of those to be valid, two short of the 400 necessary to make the ballot.[9]

Certification challenge delays
On May 27, 2011, the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board announced it would be unable to consider the recall petitions for the three Democratic incumbents at the May 31, 2011 meeting. Citing "numerous factual and legal issues," the Board said in its statement that more time is needed to ensure that a complete record will be available for examination -- particularly since the decision will likely be appealed to the courts.[10]
In its release, the GAB officials said they do not expect to be able to hold a hearing on the recalls of Democratic incumbents until the week of June 6. This raises potential legal issues, as the initial extension granted to GAB for certification required it to ultimately make determinations before June 3.[10]
The board went ahead with hearings on May 31 for the recalls of Republican incumbents Sheila Harsdorf, Robert Cowles and Alberta Darling.[11] Officials released a 125-page memo on May 27, 2011 concerning the signatures and legal challenges.
The GAB filed a brief on June 1 asking the court for a one-week extension, which would give them until June 10 to finish working on the three Democratic recalls. The case was heard in Dane County Court at 1:30 pm on Friday, June 3.[12][13] Dane County Judge John Markson ruled that there was good cause for the extension, and that the GAB did not violate any rules by taking up the petitions out of order.[14]
Ultimately, on June 8, after nearly 9 hours of deliberations, the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board certified the recalls of three Democratic incumbents and set an initial election for July 19.[15]

Nygren was re-elected to Wisconsin State Assembly District 89. He defeated Democrat Bob Orwig in the general election on November 2, 2010. He was unopposed in the September 14, 2010 primary election. [16]

Most of the time, the units are actually brought by the installers at the time of the install. D* won't ship them to the customer. In those cases, you have no choice but to go the install route.

Does anyone think if I talk to the retention dept that they might allow it, or are they just as stubborn about it. Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the csr just said yeah no problem I can do that and then after a week an no equipment received at my house, I would call back only to have them tell me that I would have to schedule an install. I don't believe anything those DTV people tell me.
Posted 07 February 2006 - 04:10 PM
Most of the time, if you want to do a self install... You simpy have to wait for the installer, and sign the document saying they installed it..... They give you the box, and they are on their merry way.
It is probably a blend between "inventory" control, and wanting to minmize installation service calls.
That New AT9 DISH is a seriously complicated dish... I probably could have figured out how to set it up correctly and all that.... but for me... I just let them do it since it was "included"
But once inside the house, I had already pre-run all the wires... and the installer simply hit the buttons on the remote...

What's going to be interesting is how they deal with "blended" customers (those with a mixture of owned and leased equipment) and the "early termination" rules that most states imposed on leasing companies after the auto dealers got greedy.
I'm also waiting to see if the two year commitment is two way. I would assume that since I have to pay for TC+ service for two years that D* has to provide that service at the same or lower cost under which the commitment was made.
The next month should be both interesting and fun.

Posted 09 February 2006 - 12:11 PM
A 2-year commitment does nothing to lock in any specific rate...so price increases for the same package are perfectly legitimate on D*'s part, but of course not wanted by any customers....
The last time I got new receivers, and a new two year commitment, the package price changes were not applied to me until the two years ended. Actually the monthly bill showed a credit each month when the package price changed until the commitment ended.
Has that changed?
Posted 09 February 2006 - 01:54 PM
All indications are that this price increase in March, is accross the board... no grandfathering..
