The build process requires a number of build time parameters that specify the features and components for a Jikes RVM build. Typically the build parameters are defined within a property file located in the build/configs directory. The following table defines the parameters for the build configuration.
A unique name that identifies the set of build parameters.
Parameter selects the compiler used when creating the bootimage. Must be either opt or base.
Parameter specifies any extra args that are passed to the bootimage compiler.
Parameter selects the compiler used at runtime. Must be either opt or base.
Include the adaptive system if set to true. Parameter will be ignored if config.runtime.compiler is not opt.
The name of the GC plan to use for the build. See MMTk for more details.
Parameter specifying the default initial heap size in MB.
Parameter specifying the default maximum heap size in MB.
Parameter specifies the level of assertions in the code base. Must be one of extreme, normal or none.
The build will stress test the gc subsytem if set to a positive value. The value indicates the number of allocations between collections
Set to true to build RVM with GCSpy support. See Using GCSpy for more details.
Set to true to bundle the GCSpy client with the Jikes RVM build. Parameter will be ignored if config.include.gcspy is not true.
Set to true to use the GCSpy stub rather than the real GCSpy component. Parameter will be ignored if config.include.gcspy is not true.
Include all the Jikes RVM classes in the bootimage if set to true.
Jikes RVM Configurations
A typical user will use one of the existing build configurations and thus the build system only requires that the user specify the config.name property. The name should match one of the files located in the build/configs/ directory minus the '
.properties' extension.
Logical Configurations
There are many possible Jikes RVM configurations. Therefore, we define four "logical" configurations that are most suitable for casual or novice users of the system. The four configurations are:
- prototype: A simple, fast to build, but low performance configuration of Jikes RVM. This configuration does not include the optimizing compiler or adaptive system. Most useful for rapid prototyping of the core virtual machine.
- prototype-opt: A simple, fast to build, but low performance configuration of Jikes RVM. Unlike prototype, this configuration does include the optimizing compiler and adaptive system. Most useful for rapid prototyping of the core virtual machine, adaptive system, and optimizing compiler.
- development: A fully functional configuration of Jikes RVM with reasonable performance that includes the adaptive system and optimizing compiler. This configuration takes longer to build than the two prototype configurations.
- production: The same as the development configuration, except all assertions are disabled. This is the highest performance configuration of Jikes RVM and is the one to use for benchmarking and performance analysis. Build times are similar to the development configuration.
The mapping of logical to actual configurations may vary from release to release. In particular, it is expected that the choice of garbage collector for these logical configurations may be different as MMTk evolves.
Configurations in Depth
Most standard Jikes RVM configuration files loosely follow the following naming scheme:
<boot image compiler>
Adaptive" <garbage collector>
- the <boot image compiler> is the compiler used to compile Jikes RVM's boot image.
Adaptive" denotes whether or not the adaptive system and optimizing compiler are included in the build.
- the garbage collector is the garbage collection scheme used.
The following garbage collection suffixes are available:
- "NoGC" no garbage collection is performed.
- "SemiSpace" a copying semi-space collector.
- "MarkSweep" a mark-and-sweep (non copying) collector
- "GenCopy" a classic copying generational collector with a copying higher generation
- "GenMS" a copying generational collector with a non-copying mark-and-sweep mature space
- "CopyMS" a hybrid non-generational collector with a copying space (into which all allocation goes), and a non-copying space into which survivors go.
- "RefCount" a reference counting collector with synchronous (non-concurrent) cycle collection
For example, to specify a Jikes RVM configuration:
- with a baseline-compiled boot image,
- that will compile classes loaded at runtime using the baseline compiler and
- that uses a non-generational semi-space copying garbage collector,
use the name "
Some files augment the standard configurations as follows:
- The word "
Full" at the beginning of the configuration name identifies a configuration such that all the Jikes RVM classes are included in the boot image. (By default only a small subset of these classes are included in the boot image.)
- "
FullAdaptive" images have all of the included classes already compiled by the optimizing compiler.
- "
FullBaseAdaptive" images have the included classes already compiled by the baseline compiler; the adaptive system will later recompile any hot methods.
- The word "
Fast" at the beginning of the configuration name identifies a "
Full" configuration where all assertion checking has been turned off. Note: "
Full" and "
Fast" boot images run faster but take longer to build.
- Prefixing the configuration with "
ExtremeAssertions" indicate that the
config.assertionsconfiguration parameter is set to
extreme. This turns on a number of expensive assertions.
In configurations that include the adaptive system (denoted by "
Adaptive" in their name), methods are initially compiled by one compiler (by default the baseline compiler) and then online profiling is used to automatically select hot methods for recompilation by the optimizing compiler at an appropriate optimization level.
For example, to a build for an adaptive configuration, where the optimizing compiler is used to compile the boot image and the semi-space garbage collector is used, use the following command:
% ant -Dconfig.name=OptAdaptiveSemiSpace

I see that some people here have designed to try and define what a cult is. I'm not entirely sure that the word cult can be strictly applied to fringe Christianity or other religions. Cults have been defined and redefined over and over, so I won't be one to try to define it here.
I apologize if this point has been made before; I am new to this forum and simply could not reasonably be expected to read each and every response (I hope?).
Yet, can someone tell me at what point a cult becomes a religion? Is it when that cult reaches a certain percentage of the society? Does it have to do with, as "burt" (I mean no disrespect with the quotations) has tried to do, a rather static sense of presupposed conditions?
Or, is it simply a group that shares the similarly unacceptable beliefs of a major religious system, but does not receive the same public approval? It seems to me (and others on here from the short readings I've done in this vast new forum of thought) that cults are entirely a matter of population. When a cult reaches some kind of nominal and numerical influence, it ceases to be a cult. It then becomes a religion.
I would argue that all religions and ideologies which are perpetuated in spite of, or without, legitimate rational and scientific evidence are cults. They all meet "burt"s requirements (found elsewhere in this section of the forum, and are, I think, useful) and they are all dangerous. They should all be required to present beliefs to back their thoughts that do not require "faith." If they present a faith based argument, regardless of the number of constituents, it is still a cult.
Perhaps then I am designing to define the word cult, against my original intentions… I suppose I couldn't resist the urge to apply it as broadly as possible.

Keo.co.za brings you news from the Currie Cup.
Peyper, Jonker to ref semis – Jaco Peyper and Marius Jonker will officiate the Currie Cup semi-finals this Saturday.
Peyper will take charge of the WP/Lions clash in Johannesburg and will be partnered by Stuart Berry and Cobus Wessels. Jonker will officiate the Sharks/Cheetahs game in Durban and will have Pro Legoete and Marc van Zyl as his assistants.
Burger escapes suspension – Schalk Burger was cited for a no-arms tackle during WP's victory over the Pumas last Saturday and was found not guilty at the disciplinary hearing on Monday.
The tackle was made during the second half on Pumas lock JP Mostert. Burger was not given a ban at his hearing, making him available for selection for WP's semi-final encounter against the Lions in Johannesburg on Saturday.
It's been reported that there was a complaint from Pumas coach Jimmy Stonehouse, who used it as an example of how referees 'favour the strong over the weak'.
Elstadt set for early return – Lock Rynhardt Elstadt could make surprise return in WP's semi-final clash against the Lions this Saturday.
The 21-year-old suffered a serious knee injury during the Super Rugby semi-final defeat to the Crusaders and was set to miss the rest of the season.
However, WP head coach Allister Coetzee confirmed that Elstadt could make the match 22 this weekend, especially with Hilton Lobberts struggling with a shoulder injury.
'We will monitor Rynhardt and see how it goes in terms of the technical side,' said Coetzee. 'His knee is 100%. We have a lineout session on Wednesday and that normally puts a lot of strain on the knees.'
In other injury news, flyhalf Demetri Catrakilis missed Monday's practice after suffering a head injury against the Pumas last weekend, but is expected to recover in time for the trip to Ellis Park. Gio Aplon and Conrad Jantjes will provide pivot cover.

More is more
Credit card readers and added services can work hand-in-hand to drive revenue in updated self-serve bays.
It can be tough, telling people goodbye. After years of seeing their faces and taking their presence for granted, it can be quite a shock when they suddenly disappear. In this instance, the mysterious missing persons are the pocketfuls of presidents. Yes, the various coins that used to litter purses, pockets and sidewalks. Plenty of people talk about the U.S. moving to a cashless society, but no one seems to be too worried about the coins.
Maybe it is because many adults remember rolling their eyes as an older family member recalled (always with a far off stare) what 25 cents would buy "when I was a kid." Could someone really see a movie and get soda and popcorn for a nickel? It all seemed so preposterous. Yet, there is not as much eye rolling now that a Coke and a candy bar costs almost $3.
In the carwash market, many self-serve locations are also joining in on the coinless craze. This seems especially surprising considering that these businesses were known as coin-op washes in the not-too-distant past. Even so, change machines and coin slots are nowhere to be found at some renovated washes. Instead, cashless customers choose credit and debit for payment using electronic card readers.
Overhaul objective
When it comes to a self-serve renovation, adding functionality for the customer should be the goal, and the "obvious objective" should be to increase revenue, according to Tim Sater, director of marketing and regional sales, D&S Car Wash Equipment Company. Older washes with eight-position rotary dials and approximately six functions are being held back by their offerings and equipment. By adding more functionality to bays and sprucing up self-serve washes, operators are giving customers a better selection, more value and more of a reason to return to the self-serve bays.
These upgrades and new services also provide additional value when credit card readers are added. Drew Dressler, east regional sales director with D&S Car Wash Equipment Company, said his company advises owners to add more services to their bays to warrant credit card spending. The new services will provide customers with added value for the time that they spend in the bay and after swiping a credit card.
Credit cards
Credit card readers have definitely proven to be priority number one for carwash owners rehabbing self-serve locations. Sater stated that card acceptance is "far and away" the most requested product that owners want to add during a renovation. "We're seeing … a variety of things, but first and foremost is credit card," he said.
As credit and debit cards have become widely used over the past five years, there has been a tremendous increase in operators installing credit card acceptors in the bays. The reward for many of these forward-thinking operators has been a quicker payback. Sater noted that he feels the payback for card readers is shorter than for other major investments. While situations will vary by region and carwash, generally customers spend more time and money in the updated bays, and this can make a return-on-investment much shorter.
When a customer swipes his or her credit card, it starts a timer on the bay's meter box. With some credit card systems, the meter will count up to a pre-determined amount of time, or even past that time, Dressler said. Some systems count down. There's a minimum charge, and the customer has to go back and push the stop button when he or she is finished. The system will also have a pre-programmed maximum amount of time, and this can be selected and set in the system by the distributor or carwash owner. The bottom line is most people will spend more time in the bay by using credit cards.
Other additions
Once a credit card reader is installed, there are a number of new self-serve selections that will draw more customers to a wash and also motivate users to spend more once they are on-site. Some of the newest self-serve options are:
- Handheld dryers;
- Tri-gloss;
- Tire scrub;
- Tire shine; and
- Bug off.
Sater revealed that the popularity of adding card readers is followed closely by the installation of handheld dryers. The in-bay, handheld dryers have proven very popular with customers, and many owners have installed these self-serve systems.
Tri-gloss treatment may call for additional equipment, depending on a wash's configuration, according to Sater. If new equipment is needed, a carwash could add a low-pressure, wall-mount pumping unit for the tri-gloss with a trigger gun attached for application.
Self-serve tire scrub equipment is another product that has become more popular over the past couple of years. Sater said it basically consists of a specially installed brush meant only for use on a vehicle's tires and wheels.
Finally, there is another automatic carwash service that now appears to be popping up in self-serve bays. Some washes have added bug off treatment, a service that traditionally has been in the domain of the in-bay automatics. Though it is not as prevalent as other options Sater has seen, it has finally become a self-serve possibility. Today, the product can be applied through a wand, similar to the tri-gloss treatment.
Dynamic duo
Once the new equipment is installed and marketed, owners should begin to see an upsurge in business. "There is a direct correlation between added functionality and increased revenue," Sater said. "There's no doubt about that." And the acceptance of credit cards plays a big role in this success.
In fact, credit cards and new services can work together to push a self-serve bay to match the transaction revenue of an in-bay automatic. Dressler gave an example of an in-bay automatic with a transaction average of $8 to $9. In a properly equipped self-serve, customers may swipe their credit cards then use all of the different services. After pre-soak, wash and rinse, they move on to tri-gloss treatment, drying and wheel scrubbing. In the end, it is possible to spend as much as $8 or $9 in the self-serve bay, when, before, they would have spent only $3 or $4.
Once the upgrades are installed and the bays are open for business, an owner should work to protect his major investment. In the self-serve business, this means inspecting and maintaining the pump stand in the equipment room. Sater said the pump stand should be the focus of an owner's attention and energy. "The pump stand is where most of the dollars are at," he said. Owners should keep the leaks here to a minimum and make sure the oil is changed on a regular basis.
In the bays, most of the equipment is sturdy and self-sustaining. For proper operation, owners should make sure all hoses and wands are in good shape. Also, as signs and decals wear out and fade, they should be replaced, Sater recommended.
Dressler stated that an owner's biggest concern should be keeping the bays clean, tidy and looking new. In addition, owners should make sure customers are getting a good product from each function. Operators should test the pumps and pressure to make sure that, when a customer comes in, the wash provides good pressure and the right amount of soap and product from brushes and wands.
This will guarantee customers a good experience at a wash every time they use it. "If the tire clean isn't working right, you may have a problem," Dressler said. "You're going to lose them. You have to run it like a business."
While the upkeep tasks sound simple, some self-serve owners do not follow the steps, and this leads to site neglect. Sater noted that customers today have more carwash choices than ever. "It goes back to providing value to the customer and living up to an inherent promise. When they pull up and put their money in the bay, their hard-earned money, they expect a good product and a good experience. And if they don't, they'll go right down the street to the next wash."
Self-serve future
Today, self-serve carwash owners can recall their own old-timey paradigm. Back in the early days, customers did bring in $1 bills and use coins in the carwash bays. As the U.S. has morphed into a cashless society, carwash owners should have snapped out of this reverie and taken advantage of newer trends. In the end, it's all about customer convenience.
Sater emphasized again that it is important to install credit card readers in self-serve bays because it is, ultimately, catering to what customers want. "Make it easier for your customers to do business with you. Nobody carries cash on them anymore," he said. "They don't have to have the cash on them." Though the installation is convenient for the customer, it can also be beneficial for the owners because customers end up spending more using credit and debit cards for payment.
"We've seen this time and time again … a carwash is 10 or 15 years old with declining revenues for whatever reason," Sater said. "Ultimately, when they rehab a wash like that and put in credit card, the revenues start an immediate climb. And we've seen an immediate bump and a continued bump in revenue for long periods of time after they install these upgrades."

NEWPORT — It's a triple win for Country Concert at Hickory Hill Lakes fans.
Concert officials recently finalized the lineup for the July 10-12, 2014, concert, which will include the top three acts requested by fans in an annual patron survey.
"We try to have something for everybody, and the way things worked out this year we were able to get the most requested male artist (Luke Bryan), the most requested female artist (Miranda Lambert) and the most requested duo (Florida Georgia Line)," said Paul Barhorst from Country Concert. "To be able to get the top three categories just doesn't happen all the time … so we're very pleased to have them all at this point."
Lambert will headline opening night of the three-day music festival, followed by Friday night headliner Brantley Gilbert and Bryan on Saturday.
Barhorst said signing Florida Georgia Line for the opening day ticket adds an exciting element to help kick off the 34th annual concert.
"They were named the Billboard Country Artists of the Year, so to be able to have them there in the 8 p.m. spot is great," he said, adding the success of FGL's debut album and hit single "Cruise" has kept them in the spotlight all year. "They could be headlining their own shows in 2014 and they were only available on Thursday … so we went for it and put them on at 8 p.m. before Miranda. That makes for a dynamic show."
The rest of the lineup is filled with familiar faces and a couple of up-and-comers.
Tyler Farr joins Lambert and FGL on opening night, with Chase Rice (4 p.m.), Dustin Lynch (6 p.m.) and Montgomery Gentry (8 p.m.) preceding Gilbert on Friday.
Saturday starts out with newcomer Cole Swindell at noon, followed by country veterans Sammy Kershaw (2 p.m.) and Neal McCoy (4 p.m.), Thomas Rhett (6 p.m.), Lee Brice (8 p.m.) and Bryan (10 p.m.).
Early "best buy" ticket prices are available through Feb. 17, and Barhost said. Ticket information is available at (937) 295-3000.
Tickets also can be ordered online at www.countryconcert.com, where music fans can get additional information about the concert, camping accommodations and past shows.

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Competing for the final time before the Mid-American Conference Championships, the Miami University men's track and field team looked like a team ready for its biggest meet of the year Friday at the Billy Hayes Invitational, hosted by Indiana University at the Haugh Track & Field Complex. The RedHawks won three field events while nine 'Hawks recorded personal bests on the day, including four that made the all-time top-10 list.
Senior John Cantwell (Holland, Pa.) easily won the long jump with a monster personal-best leap of 7.58m/24-10.50, doing so on his sixth and final attempt. His jump vaulted him to second in school history as he just missed the school record by three-fourths of an inch. He won the event by over 17 inches while improving his previous best by nine and a half inches. Junior Sam Spallinger (Pandora, Ohio) took third with a distance of 7.04m/23-1.25 while classmate Calen Settles (Cincinnati, Ohio) was right behind in fourth with a personal-best jump of 7.03m/23-0.75. Settles also placed fourth in the triple jump (13.77m/45-2.25).
Competing in three throws events, junior Rob Stein (Villa Park, Ill.) claimed first in the discus with a throw of 53.25m/174-8, as he won by over eight feet. He also finished third in the shot put with a season-best toss of 16.48m/54-1. Stein placed sixth in the hammer throw in his third event of the day, slinging it a personal-best 56.47m/185-3, while he remains 10th in school history in the event. Freshman Paul Golen (Elmhurst, Ill.) came in fifth in the shot put with a big personal-best heave of 15.49m/50-10 while he was also fifth in the discus (45.22m/148-4).
In the javelin, sophomore Tyler Yee (Florida, N.Y.) was victorious, firing a throw of 57.30m/188-0 to beat Indiana's Derek Drouin by seven inches. Junior Taylor Celestin (Mason, Ohio) came in seventh with a toss of 48.10m/157-10.
In the high jump, freshman Peter Stefanski (Aurora, Ill.) earned second with a clearance of 2.04m/6-8.25. He has finished first or second in the high jump in every meet this season, while he was one of just two collegiate jumpers to record a height in a field of 11. Senior Sam Wildeman (Naperville, Ill.) tied for third in the pole vault, topping a season-best 4.86m/15-11.25 along with vaulters from Indiana and Indiana State. He tied for second among collegiate vaulters with the second-best vault of his career.
On the track, senior Jarrod Eick (Hartville, Ohio) finished sixth in the 1500m invitational run in a personal-best 3:46.07, while he remained sixth in school history. In the regular 1500m run, junior Daniel Garleb (Pickerington, Ohio) crossed third in 4:01.40, his first time running the distance this year, while freshman Joe Stewart (Naperville, Ill.) was seventh in 4:09.30. In the 3000m run, senior Matt Marol (Evanston, Ill.) took sixth in 8:44.52.
Junior Jahquil Hargrove (Norristown, Pa.) took runner-up honors in the 400m dash in a season-best 47.23, behind only Indiana's Chris Vaughn (46.75), while classmate Robert Balzano (Poland, Ohio) was fourth in a personal-best 48.10. Junior Wade Coffin (Willoughby, Ohio) also placed fourth, doing so in the 800m run in 1:52.20, another personal best, while he was second among collegiate runners. In addition to his long jump, Spallinger crossed in seventh in the 200m dash in a personal-best 21.95.
In the hurdles, sophomore JaShawn Combs (Dayton, Ohio) crossed in fifth in the 110m hurdles prelims in a personal-best 14.36 to qualify for the finals, though he did not run in the finals. His time ranks him ninth in school history. Classmate Skyler Coburn (La Porte, Ind.) placed fourth in the 400m hurdles in a season-best 53.62, clocking under 54 seconds for the first time this year, while he was behind an unattached hurdler and two runners from Indiana State.
The RedHawks placed third in the 4x100m relay as freshman Jason Bailey (Springboro, Ohio), Spallinger, Combs and Hargrove combined to clock a season-best 41.27, which just missed cracking Miami's all-time top-10 list.
Miami looks to keep the momentum rolling next weekend as the RedHawks compete for a conference championship at the MAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships, hosted by the University of Akron from May 9-11 at Akron's Lee R. Jackson Track & Field Complex.

There are some dozens of examples of "unbiguous" for "ambiguous" on the web. Seems like something semantic might be behind the switch in spelling, at least for a few users. Perhaps the "un-" reinforces the negativity of an ambiguous event. A few speakers may even include the "-big-" syllable in their reanalysis – an unbiguous situation being one that lacks the big certainties.
: ". Of course it wasn't that easy and Dr Jeremy used unbiguous statements like 'there's no reason why he can't'"
: " I've read it's a basic one (the sticker on the battery suggests 1.2A for 5-10hours as a method), but I don't know if this voltage raising is good/bad/ unbiguous."
: "A swamp in UK forest. Border unbiguous, the muddy ground was reminding me of the horifying bottomless swamps in those old tales."
Ace. Here's a partner, though only a singleton. The final sentence here is, well, more poetry.
feels like forever.nerves,emotions,passions.back and forth they swing, periodically pushed.some of us very compliant to the meandering directions, some resistant. we must drift apart from others, though we feel that need to stick to them.the start of something new, the end of something beautiful. we will never know.i sit here trite, greatly unbivalent, giving a facade presence, disgruntled, finding my way out .
Also spelled unbigious. It seems like in some usages people mean "ambiguous" and in others "unambiguous"
Comment on political discussion "A single political organization shouldnot have unbigious goals."
About greek masks and evil mobile phones: "Arguing implies the exposure of a logical reasoning of facts that leads to an unbigious conclusion."
Unbigious would be self-referential if any of the ambiguity were left in it.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), Chairman of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), released the following statement on the Bureau of Labor Statistics' February 2012 jobs report showing that 227,000 total nonfarm jobs were added and the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 8.3 percent:
"I'm encouraged by this month's jobs report. The solid job growth from the end of 2011 has continued into 2012. February marked the 24th consecutive month of private-sector job gains and the third month in a row where these job gains have exceeded 200,000, yet we are still a long way off from seeing the unemployment rate reach pre-recession levels. While the unemployment rate was unchanged last month, it has declined significantly since September.
Too many Americans haven't felt the recovery. When workers have to pay more at the pump, they have less to spend on other goods and services. This is tough on families and can also harm the economy. We need a multi-pronged approach on gas prices.
The economy has made good progress. But we need to stay focused on job creation and take actions to ensure that rapidly-rising gas prices do not derail or slow the recovery."

Preserving a city's history
A tragic fire on Nov. 8 in the 1800 block of Hewitt claimed the life of one tenant, and the structure itself is a total loss. It was one of 42 building in the Hewitt Avenue Historic District, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2010 by the National Park Service. The designation flowed from the work of city planners and Historic Everett, the grassroots organization formed in response to what is now Comcast Arena.
In 2003, the Scottish Rite Temple, the historic Stovie Building, and some of Hewitt Avenue's original structures were razed to make way for the project. Until the "deconstruction" of the historic Collins building a couple years ago (also a National Trust property) the arena was the city's seminal historic-preservation moment, and historic preservation lost.
Sadly there are times when local history seems to revolve around the production of "It Stood Here Once" plaques. One marks the site of the Old Central Opera House, later re-named the Orpheum and then the People's Theater. It was there that Socialist presidential candidate Eugene Debs and labor and political radical Mother Jones galvanized audiences. Today residents can loiter in a bank drive-thru, shut their eyes, and conjure the voices of both radicals and performers past. Or, well, something.
Context matters, especially as property owners and city planners noodle what's next for the 1800 block. The impulse will be to jettison the spirit of the district's historic designation and simply erect a parking lot (the property sits across from the arena.) A pave-over would be an unfortunate coda to a tragic event. Whatever is built next should reflect the history and architectural values of downtown.
Comcast Arena has been a boon to downtown, just as the inspired City Plaza Park on Wetmore figures to be. Unfortunately, as Julie Muhlstein reported, the plaza's construction couldn't salvage the inscribed bricks donors had purchased in 1993 to celebrate their contribution to the community theatre. The promise of "permanent" lasted less than 20 years, in a case study of avoid-the-rabble, non-transparent communication. These names need to be reproduced and displayed in a manner that enshrines local history, just as it makes amends to vanquished donors. As William Faulkner wrote, "The past is never dead. It isn't even past." Everett, we know, will do better.

nero14 jammer
We know that fit and compression are important, and with a newly refined fit, the stitch less and fully bonded nero|14 excels in both. The FINA approved nero|14 follows on from the neroXII, with enhancements as recommended by the swimmers who race in our suits.
Our most compressive fabric yet
Internally welded core stability panels
Refined fit for superior hydrodynamics
Wind tunnel tested welded seams
nero|14 has more compression features than any suit we've ever made, making it ideal for your most important races of the year and for the more muscular, experienced swimmer. The anatomically designed, targeted compressed will help lift the hips and maintain a streamlined body position in the water, particularly when tiring towards the end of a race, yet it is comfortable enough to promote stretch and reach through every pull and kick.
The fit of nero|14 has been perfected from the feedback from countless tests with real swimmers on three different continents.
Click here for a downloadable PDF explaining fit and care.
Key features:
- Fully bonded stitchless construction
- Internally welded core stabilizing panels
- 56% better compression that neroTX
- Hydrophobic fabric technology
- Gel grippers on legs for secure fit

11/24/14 Angelina Quits Acting
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, November 24, 2014
During Sunday Night Football on NBC, Bob Costas confirmed worst-kept secret in show business: The half-time performer at the Super Bowl will be Katy Perry.
Miley Cyrus turned 22 over the weekend and she celebrated the way only Miley can. Mileyy, along with new boyfriend Patrick Schwarzenegger and some buddies, hit Metropolitan Nightclub in West Hollywood, where she was given a gigantic pizza and rode a dirty mechanical devices.
Angelina Jolie has one of most celebrated faces in Hollywood, but you may not be seeing it for very long. Angie has confirmed that she plans to quit acting and take up directing full time. In an interview with Dujour magazine, she says, "I've never been comfortable as an actor. I've never loved being in front of the camera. I didn't ever think I could direct, but I hope I'm able to have a career at it because I'm much happier." Asked if she planned to give up acting entirely, she grinned and said, "Absolutely."
Will the 33rd time be the charm for Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez? According to Hollywood Life, Justin booked a spur-of-the-moment trip to Los Angeles to woo his on-again, off-again girlfriend. A source close to the situation says, "No one on his team thinks that's a good idea but Justin's going to do what he wants to do. He really wants to be with her. He feels like that's the only thing that will make him happy. He's struggling big time. He's got his friends trying to talk to her, he just wants to see her face to face because he's convinced that if she sees him they can work it out. But so far she's shutting him out completely.''
Ever wondered how the pretty and skinny TV chef Giada DeLaurentiis stays so thin? According to the New York Post, she spits out everything she cooks on her show. A source says that producers keep a bucket on hand, and as soon as the cameras cut away, she spits out whatever she just put into her mouth. The snitch says, "When Giada films her cooking show, she never eats. Never."
11/21/14 Khloe K's Crazy Diet
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emiy Poyet Webb
Friday, November 21, 2014
SCARLETT JOHANSSON added some bling to her engagement finger. She's now wearing a simple gold band in addition to her engagement ring. So naturally, people are wondering if she and fiancé Romain Dauriac secretly got married. There's no actual evidence they did, of course. The couple have a 2-month-old daughter named Rose Dorothy.
There are some ridiculous diets out there, but if you believe the "National Enquirer", KHLOE KARDASHIAN has found the MOST absurd one yet. Although, it does sound like it would definitely work.
Supposedly, Khloe sprays a, quote, "Windex-like cleaner" on her food, which is an idea she supposedly got from VICTORIA BECKHAM. A so-called "source" says, quote, "Khloe loved the idea and started spraying everything! She dubbed it the 'one-bite system' to indulge without gaining weight." She keeps the spray bottle in her purse, and will "spray it on something after she's had a bite or two so she won't keep eating it."
On a good note, actress Kristen Bell has donated $91,500 worth of nursing bras and breast pumps to mothers in need. She said she understands how important support and the essential tools are to raising your child. She hopes that her gifts will help others on the journey to motherhood.
11/20/14 Adoptee Turns Down Kim K.
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, November 20, 2014
People with way too much time on their hands get upset every year when "People" doesn't give the Sexiest Man Alive honor to RYAN GOSLING. But what if they've approached him several times, and he's turned them down? A "source" says that's exactly what happened . . . quote, "They tried a few times, especially during his huge year in 2011. The consensus was he's too serious for it, too artsy." But a "People" editor was quick to note that this year's honoree CHRIS HEMSWORTH is NOT a backup plan . . . quote, "While I look forward to the day when Ryan Gosling is named Sexiest Man Alive, this was not his year.
The "Twilight" phenomenon is six years old now, and teenage girls are still obsessing over ROBERT PATTINSON . . . to the point where they're attacking his girlfriend FKA TWIGS on social media. But she's coming to terms with it. In an interview with "USA Today", FKA Twigs says she's realized she has no control over, quote, "14-year-old kids who should be in bed" . . . and adds, quote, "Vacuous attention feels disgusting. It's like a hangover. It's weird, I know that's not really because of me or what I'm doing . . . but nevertheless, the positivity that I get from [my relationship] makes the more challenging aspects . . . very worth it."
This is a sad sign of our times: Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lawrence, and Taylor Swift are all in the running to be "Time" magazine's Person of the Year. And you can actually vote for them on Time.com until December 6th. Obviously, there are more serious candidates, like . . . President Obama, Vladimir Putin, Pope Francis, the Presidents of Indonesia, China, Turkey, Brazil, and Iran, and the Prime Ministers of Israel and India.
A teenager from a children's home in Thailand turned down an offer to be adopted by Kim Kardashian, saying she preferred to stay in Thailand and live in poverty. The 13-year-old goes by the name Pink, and said she was very excited when she heard Kim wanted to adopt her but she decided to stay in Thailand and study instead of moving to America.
11/19/14 Bieber Spreading the Gospel?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, November 19, 2014
CHRIS HEMSWORTH, also known as "Thor", has been named "People" magazine's Sexiest Man Alive. The runners-up include Chris Pratt, Blake Shelton, Bradley Cooper, Michael Strahan, Tim Tebow, and Idris Elba.
KIM KARDASHIAN says she saw her nude photo shoot as, quote, "an art project that was going to make me feel confident and feel good." She also says she would love to have more kids, and she's TRYING.
TRACY MORGAN's lawyer says he suffered a severe brain injury in that crash this summer, and may never fully recover. Quote, "He's still fighting and trying to live his life at the same time and trying to get better, and he's just not better."
A few months back, JUSTIN BIEBER supposedly got baptized in a friend's BATHTUB. And apparently he's getting serious about religion again. But no, he's not becoming AMISH, despite that silly hat he's been wearing. TMZ claims Justin is on some sort of religious "mission" trip in California. Supposedly he's spending two weeks hanging out with a pastor . . . and has, quote, "exiled himself from friends, alcohol, weed," and other ungodly things. They have a photo of him next to a Christian book called "Occupy All Streets", which apparently proves he's on a Jesus trip. Or not. Justin hasn't commented.
Are there any 14-year-old girls out there, with $280,000 in the bank, and in the market for a house in Canada? If so, this is your ticket . . .
JUSTIN BIEBER'S grandparents have their three-bedroom house in Ontario, Canada up for sale. Justin supposedly spent most of his childhood there. And here's the kicker: Several rooms were recently updated, but Justin's room has been left INTACT . . . to the point where it's still decorated the way he liked it, with the logo of the NHL's Toronto Maple Leafs on the bedding, curtains, and wallpaper.
11/18/14 Solange Knowles' Horrible Wedding Day
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, November 18, 2014
KENDALL JENNER is denying rumors that she's dating JUSTIN BIEBER. In a new "Nightline" interview she said, quote, "He's a longtime friend of our family. Everybody loves to assume things, but no [we're not dating]." Elsewhere in the interview, Kendall says about her modeling career quote, "I'm not trying to use a family name or anything. In reality I worked pretty hard for this . . . It wasn't like I just got it magically and it's just happened."
This had to suck: SOLANGE KNOWLES broke out in hives on her wedding night in New Orleans on Saturday night. She looked fantastic in her wedding photos, but apparently she broke out sometime during the reception. Sources say it was probably some kind of food allergy. Solange left the reception with her sister BEYONCÉ, who was trying to shield her face from the paparazzi.
JADEN and WILLOW SMITH say some pretty bizarre things in a new interview. Like how you never learn anything in "normal school", and all the kids who go to them are "teenagery", "angsty" and "depressed". And Willow said, quote, "There're no novels that I like to read so I write my own novels, and then I read them again, and it's the best thing." Here's what Jaden had to say about TIME: "I mean, time for me, I can make it go slow or fast, however I please, and that's how I know it doesn't exist. It's proven that how time moves for you depends on where you are in the universe. It's relative to beings and other places."

And as soon as one of my items is claimed, and I have the person's address so I know they are serious, I go back and edit my original post offering the samples, and type "claimed" for those samples that have been requested and are no longer available.
As far as you seeking samples for yourself, I suppose you can post that "wishlist" here. Not sure, though. That may be up to the admin/originator of this thread.
Thanks bigsteve, got my samples in the mail a couple days ago. (Dreamer and Bleu de Chanel). Like the Chanel, and you saved me from blind buying the Dreamer (wasn't a big fan of that one). My wallet and I both thank you.

Do you want to try Phoenix by Keith Urban?
The notes are blackberries, cognac, plum, suede accord, dates, dark chocolate, fir balsam, musk, cashmere woods, tonka bean. It's an interesting gourmand but a little too synthetic for me. I'm offering up 5 decants a 2,5 ml to try to finish the bottle.
It sells for less than $30 in the States but it was never released elsewhere as far as I know; so I will ship the decants worldwide except to the US, since you guys have easy and cheap access to it. Please PM me if you are interested.
UPDATE: All decants claimed!

It's a shame this thread/giveaway idea is not really getting much traction. It doesn't appear there are many of us who are willing to make the effort to help out others here. Like you, I get a kick out of helping fellow fragheads.
And will be sending another mailing to Europe this week.
It was a calculated risk. Unfortunately, I'm bad at math.
Thanks guys, you make us BN members from Europe feel welcome !
I snoozed and losed again!!!!
This is an awesome thread. I'm surprised there isn't more buzz around this.
Favorite notes at this point: Sandal wood, Oud, Frankincense, Rose
Received samples from SaNielsen over the weekend.
Thanks a lot!
I received some very nice samples from furrypine earlier in the month, so I'm paying it forward now! (Well, not the same samples, but you know what I mean :P )
I've got five 1-mL boxed manufacturer samples for one person in Canada (still not sure about navigating customs, so I'll stick to my home country for now.) Here's the catchthey're all "feminine" scents. Maybe your girlfriend/wife/friend who is a girl and likes fragrances can give them a try, or maybe you'd like to give them a shot.
I have:
Elie Saab le Parfum EdT
Elie Saab le Parfum EdP
Narciso Rodriguez for Her EdT
Narciso Rodriguez for Her EdP
Gaultier Classique EdT
Not the most niche of samples, but I do what I can!
Fire me a PM if you're in Canada and are interested.

Thx for your contributions, Lisa!
Ok, so here's my first sort of giveaway participation in this thread. I'd now like to think of myself as a fragrance intermediate and as a result, I would like to help a fragrance beginner get their nose on a few fragrances without having to shell out on costly samples, think of it as my way of giving back to a community which has greatly helped me with their generosity in the past.
So up for grabs is: 1x beginners sample pack. Claimed
I don't know what exactly this will include at the minute but please don't claim this if you can easily access designer fragrances. I would prefer this to go to someone who has difficulty sampling designer fragrances nevermind niche fragrances. I'd also prefer to keep this within the UK so UK only i'm afraid.

Such a nice idea Mervin!
A huge note of thanks to Mervin - I received a very exciting mixed bag of samples from him today which included the wonderful Bois du Portugal, Ambre Sultan and others besides. I couldn't be happier and it's been a real boost for me in the early stages of my journey into scent. Here's to the Basenotes community and the philanthropic frag-heads who sail in her!
Ive just found 6 official carded Creed Aventus samples (2.5ml) back from 2010 which are considered the ballsy ashy type.
I also have a Perris Monte Carlo sample pack which includes:
Ambre Gris
Bois d'Oud

Upper GI series facts An upper gastrointestinal series is an x-ray test used to define the anatomy of the upper digestive tract. Women who are or may be pregnant should notify the doctor requesting the procedure and the radiology staff. An upper gastrointestinal series involves filling the esophagus, stomach, and small intestines with a white liquid material (barium). What is an upper gastrointestinal (GI) series? An upper gastrointestinal (GI) series (barium swallow), is a radiological test that is used to visualize the structures of the upper digestive system - the esophagus, stomach and duodenum. If it is desired to see the remaining parts of the small intestine, a small bowel series can be added to the test. These structures are seen during the examination, and the images are also are saved for further review on X-ray film or digital images. The results of an upper GI series can reveal conditions such as ulcers, tumors, hiatal hernias, scarring, blockages, and abnormalities of the muscular wall of the gastrointestinal tissues.What are the risks of an upper GI series? Any x-ray test procedure involves some risk from radiation exposure. The radiation exposure is minimized by standard techniques that have been assigned and approved by national and international radiology committees and councils. Radiology technicians are certified by national certifying boards. Patients who are or may be pregnant should notify the requesting practitioner and radiology staff, as there is potential risk of harm to the fetus with any radiation exposure.

Written by Curt Popejoy on 11/01/2009
So Halloween. my favorite holiday has come and gone, and yesterday, some teams got treats and others got tricked. Some teams got a big handful of those fun sized candy bars, and other teams got one of those nasty peanut butter candies wrapped in the orange wax paper. Here's my breakdown of how yesterday's college slate played out.USC fans need to calm down. Your team got whipped. I mean really whipped. Like haven't seen a beating like that in over a decade whipped. So stop minimizing what this means for your program, the Oregon program or the PAC-10. They USC defense that had looked so good three weeks ago, and then faltered some last week, gave it up like a prom date to the Oregon offense. Over 600 yards of offense. And most of it on the ground. There's nothing more humiliating to a defense than to have a team just run down your throat and that's what Oregon did. The USC defense was powerless to stop them. Lots and lots of missed tackles and bad angles. Oh, and as I tweeted, I am more inclined to think that most of us have had Taylor Mays way overrated. He hasn't impressed me at all this season, and last night was more proof of that. On offense, USC looked out of sorts and it all started with quarterback Matt Barkley. Barkley has a bright future ahead of him, but he looked like a freshman last night for sure. I still think that the Trojans do not utilize Joe McKnight nearly enough. He's such an explosive player, he should get 25-30 touches a game. The Trojans haven't looked great all season, and yesterday they just looked out of sorts.Where do these two teams go from here? For USC, they need to regroup and get it in gear. The PAC-10 is still pretty wide open, and a team like Oregon could still falter. They still have Stanford and Arizona on their schedules, and either or both of those games could be slip ups. USC needs to take a moment to look at themselves closely especially what they could be doing better on defense. For Oregon, they have to just keep doing what they are doing. They also have Stanford and Arizona, both on the road, and that's going to be brutal for them. I don't think that Oregon is a super talented team, but they are winning and playing well and at this point in the season, wins and losses mean twice as much as they do in September. Oh, and I am going to touch on something I am going to go into greater detail in my latest Heisman breakdown, but can we please not all immediately climb onto the Jeremiah Masoli for Heisman bandwagon? Please be reasonable.The other big game of the weekend, turned out to be a good old fashion Texas beatdown as the Longhorns finally got tired of no one thinking they are national championship caliber and walked into Stillwater and laid into the Cowboys. The Texas D really asserted themselves against an Oklahoma State offense who'd done pretty well all season on offense. I am being kind to the Cowboys as the Longhorn defenders pretty much owned them all night. McCoy and the offense didn't put up gawdy stats but then again they didn't need to. For Texas the path to the Big 12 title game, is pretty clear. The Big 12 is clearly down this year, and it's ripe for the picking. I can't see a scenario short of an injury to McCoy that means the Longhorns aren't in the National Title game. For Oklahoma State they have to win and hope that Texas somehow slips up a couple of times. Not much chance of that at this point, so they should just keep winning and see what bowl game they can get. I have to say Texas impressed me last night, more than any team has all season. In a year where there are several undefeated teams but none of them playing like elite teams week after week, Texas showed a little bit Saturday that they belong near the top.Some quick hits on the rest of the slate...Iowa are officially the cardiac kids. They keep winning, which is great, but are any of the other top teams really scared of them? The Big Ten as a whole is an overrated conference. I am unimpressed with all the top teams, even in their wins.Has their been a greater regression by a player than Jevan Snead? What a meltdown.Ndamukong Suh is as fun to watch as any player in the country. Case Keenum continues to put up video game stats, but that does NOT make him a Heisman candidate.The turnaround June Jones has made at SMU is remarkable, and he should be commended.But there may be no program I am rooting for more than Idaho.Oh, and we can't forget the return of the Temple Owls.Who knew Texas Tech could run the football? Not me.My big ugly of the year, Shelley Smith has been injured for most of the year, and making my pick look pretty bad. Hope he can get well and play well down the stretch.I love watching Ryan Mallett play. His critics need to watch video of Josh Freeman from last year, and tell me Mallett can't be a first round pick. All this Heisman talk on quarterbacks, but I'm not sure there's been one more outstanding than Jimmy Clausen.The Georgia Tech offense keeps on rolling. They look to be the best team in the ACC.Lane Kiffin is getting things on track in Tennessee in a hurry. That defense is really playing at a high level.I don't think there is a team in the nation that TCU couldn't beat right now.Ryan Mathews still looks like the best running back in the country. He ran wild on 8 and 9 in the box all day.

Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
Our son was diagnosed with brain cancer. My question has to do with the long-term effects of whole-brain radiation, as I have been unable to find much information concerning this. Could you provide some answers, please?
Thank you in advance.
Hui-Kuo G. Shu, MD, PhD, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
Whole brain radiation therapy (RT) is often used in the management of various pediatric malignancies and can cause significant long-term sequelae. In this particular case, the age of the patient and the type of diagnosis is not specifically given. These factors can certainly influence the probability of developing and the potential severity of a particular side effect. For example, younger patients are more susceptible to the neuropsychological effects of RT. The main long term effects cranial radiation are listed below:

Celebrating A Multimillion Dollar Team
Reception Brings Together Researchers and Major Benefactors
St. Petersburg, FL - Well-known individuals -- all-stars in their fields -- have been signed to positions backed by literally millions of dollars.
No, this is not major league sports. This is research that may someday save the lives of children worldwide, taking place right here in St. Petersburg, FL at the Children's Research Institute (CRI). Researchers who have recently accepted appointments to CRI Endowed Research Chairs through All Children's Hospital and the University of South Florida will have a chance to meet the generous donors who will fund their work at a special reception at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort in St. Petersburg. The invitation-only dinner, set for 6:30 PM on March 18th, will provide an opportunity for six researchers to highlight the focus and latest findings of their investigations. Their audience will include some of the region's most generous and influential individuals whose contributions will fuel the researchers' work. More than $18-million in gifts matched by the state of Florida has created endowments with investment proceeds to fund researchers such as:
Media interested in covering the March 18th event at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort are asked to contact Ann Miller, Media Relations Manager for All Children's Hospital, at (727) 892-8592.

Two principles of Agile development are DRY (don't repeat yourself) and merciless refactoring. Thanks to excellent IDE support it isn't too hard to apply these principles to coding Java and Groovy but it's a bit harder with XML.
The good news is that Groovy's Builder notation can help. Whether you are trying to refactor your Ant build file(s) or manage a family of related XML files (e.g. XML request and response files for testing Web Services) you will find that you can make great advances in managing your XML files using builder patterns.
Scenario: Consider we have a program to track the sales of copies of GINA . Books leave a warehouse in trucks. Trucks contain big boxes which are sent off to various countries. The big boxes contain smaller boxes which travel to different states and cities around the world. These boxes may also contain smaller boxes as required. Eventually some of the boxes contain just books. Either GINA or some potential upcoming Groovy titles.
Suppose the delivery system produces XML files containing the items in each truck. We are responsible for writing the system which does some fancy reporting. If we are a vigilant tester, we will have a family of test files which allow us to test the many possible kinds of XML files we need to deal with. Instead of having to manage a directory full of files which would be hard to maintain if the delivery system changed, we decide to use Groovy to generate the XML files we need. Here is our first attempt:
There is quite a lot of replication in this file. Lets refactor out two helper methods
bk1 and
bk2 to remove some of the duplication. We now have something like this:
Next, let's refactored out a few more methods to end up with the following:
This is better. If the format of our XML changes, we will minimise the changes required in our builder code. Similarly, if we need to produce multiple XML files, we can add some for loops, closures or if statements to generate all the files from one or a small number of source files.
We could extract out some of our code into a helper method and the code would become:
So far we have just produced the one XML file. It would make sense to use similar techniques to produce all the XML files we need. We can take this in several directions at this point including using GStrings, using database contents to help generate the content or making use of templates.
We won't look at any of these, instead we will just augment the previous example just a little more.
First we will slightly expand our helper class. Here is the result:
And now we will use this helper class to generate a family of related XML files. For illustrative purposes, we will just print out the generated files rather than actually store the files.
This will be much more maintainable over time than a directory full of hand-crafted XML files.
