Decorative Plates & Racks
Decorative plates bring the elegance of an artfully-set table to your walls; choose from a variety of scenes and images, from dainty blooms to bottles of wine.
> Decorative Plates & Racks
Slip a few decorative plates into a plate rack for a beautiful wall display. Create an artistic arrangement of ceramic medallions or earthenware tiles and mount them anywhere you please. Hang them above the dining room table, or let them greet newcomers in the foyer. Average plates may belong in the cupboard, but decorative wall plates belong in plain sight, dazzling eyes with handpainted backgrounds, gloss finishes and much more.
Many of our decorative plate sets depict images of flavorsome food and wine, making them excellent as kitchen wall decor. If you're partial to a good merlot or chardonnay, you can parade grape cluster and wine bottle plates along your walls. Decorate with colorful fruit or rooster plates to exhibit rustic flair or accentuate a Tuscan-Italian theme. If you're so inclined, you can also adorn your walls with plates featuring industrious chefs and waiters.
After you've pinpointed your favorite set, display your plates using plate racks and plate holders. Decorative plate hangers will act as easels for your miniature masterpieces. Our metal plate racks, some with leaf embellishments or scrollwork, are finished in gleaming golds or dusky bronzes. Choose from horizontal or vertical wall plate hangers to arrange your display exactly as you envision.
Decorative plates are mainly for ornamental purposes, but perhaps you strongly believe that art and fine dining belong together. Fortunately, some of our plate sets can also be used as serving essentials; these plates will state "food safe" in the description on the product page. If you're on the hunt for dinnerware or dessert plates that will emphasize your meals, it's worth a look!
When you've grown tired of more conventional wall hangings, decorative wall plates offer a refreshing way to embellish your walls. Bejewel empty space with anything from songbirds to butterflies for a creative composition unlike any other.

NCAA Game Summary - Penn State at Virginia
(Saturday, September 8th)
Final Score: Virginia 17, Penn State 16
Charlottesville, VA (Sports Network) - Michael Rocco threw for 258 yards and two touchdowns, as the Virginia Cavaliers rallied for a 17-16 win over the Penn State Nittany Lions at Scott Stadium.
Jake McGee finished with 99 yards and a touchdown on four catches for the Cavaliers (2-0), including a clutch grab that kept the game-winning drive alive.
Meanwhile, the Nittany Lions (0-2) coughed up another second-half lead to remain winless under first-year head coach Bill O'Brien. Matt McGloin threw for 197 yards and two scores. Ten of his completions went to Allen Robinson, who finished with 89 yards and a TD.
Penn State marched 75 yards in 17 plays on its opening drive, chewing up nearly six and a half minutes off the game clock. The drive resulted in an eight-yard touchdown pass from McGloin to Kyle Carter.
Neither team would score again until the 3:56 mark of the second quarter, when Drew Jarrett got UVA on the board with a 46-yard field goal.
The Cavaliers took a 10-7 lead with 9:22 remaining in the third quarter, as Rocco capped an 11-play, 77-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown pass to Jeremiah Mathis.
The Nittany Lions reclaimed the lead with 13:10 to play in the final frame on McGloin's 30-yard scoring strike to Robinson. However, the extra point was blocked.
PSU's defense came up with a big takeaway on the ensuing possession, as Deion Barnes notched a sack and jarred the football loose. Teammate Michael Mauti recovered it at the Virginia 17, setting up an eventual 32-yard field goal by Sam Ficken to make it a 16-10 game with 10:55 remaining.
However, Virginia would later regain control with a 12-play, 86-yard drive that took more than six and a half minutes off the clock. Rocco punctuated the drive with a six-yard touchdown pass to McGee on 3rd-and-goal, giving the Cavs a 17-16 lead with 1:28 to play. Those two kept the drive alive with a 44-yard completion on 3rd-and-16 from the Cavs' own 22-yard line.
PSU had one final possession beginning at its own 27-yard line. McGloin drove the offense down to the UVA 25, setting up Ficken with a 42-yard game-winning field goal attempt. However, Ficken's kick sailed wide left as time expired, his fourth missed field goal of the day.
Missed opportunities played a major role in the Nittany Lions' loss. PSU's defense forced four turnovers in Virginia territory but came away with only three points off those takeaways.

Even when poorly mixed and very cloudy my saltwater tank loved it. After switching from the LFS water to my own RODI and this salt, I completely eliminated my nuissance bubble and hair algae within a couple months. It was miraculous. I would give this 10 stars as a product if it wasn't so hard to get mixed thoroughly in small batches. Now I have a 55 gallon mixing station and it mixes like a dream. Good! By paul on 9/14/2012 paul would recommend this product to a friend Just got my 175 Red Sea Coral Pro Salt 175 Gallon. Bad thing about is that doesn't come with the measure cup. Awesome salt By Andrew on 9/13/2012 Andrew would recommend this product to a friend I ordered the big bucket. It has some serious heft to it--the UPS man was audibly angry about having to carry it around. Anyway, this stuff dissolves faster than any salt I've ever used, and its stats on mixing it up are exactly what it says on the package (at least, within the error range of my test kits). Best salt By Aunkie on 9/11/2012 Aunkie would recommend this product to a friend My fish love it what more could i want. Good Salt By Keith on 9/7/2012 Keith would recommend this product to a friend This stuff mixes great, clear water in just minutes. It also mixes up very close to what the label says at 1.026. like this salt By David on 8/27/2012 David would recommend this product to a friend Mixes clear and quick. Levels are better than the mass produced salts. Best Salt So Far By Rob on 8/18/2012 Rob would recommend this product to a friend I have tried about 5 different salts and this is the best so far. I cannot think about anything bad to say about it. It mixes very fast and clean, and helps me keep parameters more stable. I have noticed I have not had to dose as much in my mixed reef compared to other salts. Scarry By Dedeo on 8/16/2012 Dedeo wouldn't recommend this product to a friend I bought this salt at my LFS. When I did a 15% water change, the next day both my Powder Blue Tang and my Yellow Tang were dead. I freaked out. I had them for months and they are not cheap fish. So I got them out and did another water change. While I was checking the water chemistry I noticed the ammonia was high. So I did another water change, same results. So I checked my freash water it came up 0 ppm, then when I put the Red Sea Pro Salt in the good water and checked it it came up 1.0ppm the tube was green. I checked it over and over again with the same results. I then took pictures and emailed them to my LFS. They gave me my money back and wanted 2 cups of the salt. They got the same results I did. I don't know if I got a bad batch or what, but when I contacted Red Sea, they never even emailed my back. So now every time I do a water change I check the new water before I put it in my tank! Best salt I've ever used By David on 8/11/2012 David would recommend this product to a friend Ive been using a quality salt I buy at a local aquarium shop or by mail order in my 210 gallon reef tank but since I've started using Red Sea Coral Pro my tank looks 100 percent better. Great polyp extension and the alkalinity and Ph are just where I like to keep it. I'll be using it in my tank from now on Thanks again BRS!!! Dave Egan Sarasota Florida only salt I'll use for my reef By Erin on 8/10/2012 Erin would recommend this product to a friend I don't have to supplement and it mixes great. Love This Salt. Fish & Corals Love It Too. By LeeBo on 7/21/2012 LeeBo would recommend this product to a friend I recently switched from IORC to RSCPS and what a difference. I can tell just from mixing the quality difference. The cheaper IORC leaves a floating residue on top of the water in the mixing tank while the RSCPS leaves no residue. Fish and corals have seemed to respond better to this salt too. Recommended By Robert on 7/19/2012 Robert would recommend this product to a friend I find it interesting to read some of the varying observations in these reviews. Using a Hanna colorimeter I find that with a fresh mix of 1.025, ALK is at about 15--which is higher than the advertised level. I measured the Ph to be about 8.2. Beyond that, what I observe over time is the need to dose ALK and Mg, which leads me to believe the Ca, Mg and ALK numbers are actually, in practice, a bit lower than advertised as others have observed. Beyond that, end results are what matter to me. And I have had tremendous results with this mix over the others I have tried, and for now will use nothing else.

RALEIGH — The Boro is back to being the best girls' soccer team in the state.
Freshman Tylor Ring scored two goals to lead Swansboro to a 3-0 victory over South Iredell on Saturday in the NCHSAA 2-A championship match at N.C. State University's Dail Soccer Stadium.
Ring was named the final's most valuable player for the Pirates (23-5-1), who won their fourth state title in program history and first since winning their second consecutive crown in 2010.
Swansboro's last three championships have come under coach Doug Kidd.
"They're all special and it doesn't get old. I can tell you that," Kidd said. "But it is special for these kids because they really worked hard. They've have great attitudes, they've done well in the classroom and it's great to see them just improve."
By capturing the state title, the Pirates capped a 10-game winning streak, a stretch that saw Swansboro not allow a goal. Swansboro outscored its six playoff opponents 30-0.
Indeed, the Pirates had played like the state's best team.
"We played our best soccer the last four weeks of the season," Kidd said. "We peaked at the right time and it was a lot of fun to watch them do that."
It certainly is fun winning a title.
"I'm just so happy," senior midfielder Julianna Tucker said. "There's no better way to end it."
Senior midfielder Brenna Kate Grass agreed, adding her adrenaline was at an all-time high after the final whistle.
"We all just ran onto the field. It was awesome," Grass said. "It was the best feeling ever."
Meanwhile, South Iredell (22-3) suffered defeat in its first visit to the state final. The Vikings just couldn't match the Pirates' intensity and skill across the pitch.
"It looked like his team showed poise early," South Iredell coach David Basinger said of Kidd. "They are well-coached and it's a very good game of soccer they play. They don't do anything fancy; they just move the ball quickly and they move it to open space and they keep it stretched so thin that you can have trouble marking them.
"When you do recover, then they switch it back on you. So it's just constant ball movement. It's a great style of soccer. No wonder he's coached so many state championships."
Sophomore Kimberly Moore added a goal and an assist and Grass had two assists for the Pirates, who controlled possession from the start.
Swansboro's edge in ball control and scoring chances then opened the door for Ring to give the Pirates a 1-0 lead 14:38 into the first half.
Moore started the chance with an 18-yard shot that was blocked by Vikings goalkeeper Sam Stec. Grass then rebounded the ball near the left side and crossed it inside to Ring, who beat out a defender for the ball and shot past Stec.
"B.K. got it off the deflection and I ran in to try to see what I could do," Ring said. "I could feel somebody on my back and B.K. just gave me an amazing ball and it all worked out."
With the lead, the Pirates kept attacking.
"That was a big goal because it boosted our confidence," Moore said. "It made us want to step up our level again."
Swansboro then extended its lead in the second half.
Moore scored with 23:30 left in the match off an assist that was credited to Grass, who played the ball at the left corner and crossed it to inside the 18-yard box. The ball barely deflected off Ring before it squirted out toward Moore, who then fired an open shot.
"I played the ball to B.K. and she made a great cross, the ball bounced and I just followed it in," Moore said. "I looked and I just took my shot and I hoped it went in."
Ring would then complete the scoring for the Pirates when she found the net with 9:40 left after playing a throughball from Moore. Ring scored 1v1 against Stec.
"Tylor showed tremendous composure," Kidd said. "Early in the year she would have shot that probably from the 18, but she listened to her coaches all year long, took it in and their keeper was frozen and she just sized it up well and knocked it away. It was fantastic."
Swansboro's goals were a result of good ball movement, something the Pirates managed throughout the postseason.
"We just put passes together and played well to feet," Grass said. "And we finished our chances."
The Pirates' defense was just as good. The collective efforts of defenders Kanani Thomas, Haley Stewart and Abby Taylor prevented South Iredell from mustering any point-blank shots.
All seven of the Vikings' shots on goal came from outside the 18 with three being off direct kicks. Swansboro goalie Roxanne Green had seven saves.
This was just the third time the Vikings were shut out in a match.
"I think our defensive pressure was very good and that was one of our focal points," Kidd said. "We felt like we could pressure them into mistakes or take them out of rhythm and just disrupt them and I thought we did that."
The Pirates were especially good against the Vikings' leading scorer, Miracle Campbell, who entered the final with 29 goals and 15 assists.
"We had heard about her and so we were ready for her," Thomas said. "We just knew we had to keep our game plan. Center back Haley Stewart would determine that either me or Abby would go mark her. And then we just kept extra people around her."
Overall, Swansboro was just a better team.
"They had the right people marking our dangerous players," Basinger said. "The 50-50 balls make a huge difference in any game and I would give them realistically 75 percent or even more (of them). It's the hustle stats that win and they got them today."
And as a result, Swansboro is the state champion.
"These girls never stopped working and they trained well," Kidd said. "They really are smart kids and they really applied that on the field and they just got better. It was great to see them get rewarded this way."

AASU Sweeps Women's Volleyball 3-0; Final Match of Catawba Invitational at 3:30 p.m.
September 4, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Armstrong Atlantic used a pair of 11-kill performances by Torrie Bevolo (St. Louis, MO) and Brittany Wolf (Bethlehem, GA) as the Pirates swept Pfeiffer University 3-0 (17-25, 10-25, 18-25) in the day two opening match of the 2010 Catawba Invitational. AASU improves to 2-1 on the young season while the Lady Falcons remain winless at 0-3.
AASU jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the opening set as Wolf threw down a pair of early kills before a kill by Kristina Mordini (Freeport, IL) brought Pfeiffer within five at 10-5. Two more Bevolo kills and a Gwen Clarke (Superior, CO) point gave the Pirates a 16-10 lead at the halfway mark of set one. Mordini, along with Milana Mervosh (Roebuck, SC), had late kills trying to bring Pfeiffer back, but another Bevolo kill and Lady Falcon error ended the initial set.
In the middle stanza, Megan Pando (Oviedo, FL) started off with a service ace while Bevolo tossed down two more of her 11 kills as the Pirates jumped out to another quick 5-0 advantage. AASU controlled all of set two up 23-7 on another Wolf kill before a couple of Pfeiffer errors gave the Pirates a quick 25-10 set two victory.
A turn around seemed to be working early for Pfeiffer as Abbie Ovbey (Mt. Gilead, NC) and Mervosh each registered a kill to put the black and gold up early, but AASU came right back with six-straight points to reclaim the lead for good. Pfeiffer again got to within three at 12-9 thanks to Mordini, but kills from Wolf and teammate Amanda Jones (Marietta, GA) helped the Pirates pull away for good.
In addition to Bevolo and Wolf, Pando chipped in with a match high 31 assists. For Pfeiffer, Ovbey led the way with seven kills while Mervosh and Mordini each had five. Colleen Wands (Apex, NC) had all 23 assists for the Lady Falcons.
Pfeiffer will play in its final contest of the 2010 Catawba Invitational at 3:30 p.m. today against Lander. AASU will conclude with host Catawba at 1:30 p.m.

Andrew Taylor Associated Press
October 16, 2013
WASHINGTON — The government reopened its doors today after a battle-weary Congress approved a bipartisan measure to end a 16-day partial shutdown and avert the possibility of an economy-jarring default on U.S. obligations.
Early today, President Barack Obama signed the measure, which the House and Senate passed late Wednesday, ending a brawl with Republicans who tried to use the must-pass legislation to mount a last-ditch effort to derail the president's landmark health care law and demand concessions on the budget.
The two U.S. House representatives for Robeson County, Richard Hudson and Mike McIntyre, cancelled out each other's vote.
The White House directed all agencies to reopen promptly and in an orderly fashion. Furloughed federal employees across the country are expected to return to work today.
The impasse had shuttered national parks and monuments, and mostly closed down NASA, the Environmental Protection Agency and the Interior Department. Critical functions of government went on as usual and most federal employees won't see their paychecks delayed, but the closure and potential default weighed on the economy and spooked the financial markets.
There were signs early today that the federal government was slowly coming back to life. "We're back from the #shutdown!" the Smithsonian Institution crowed on Twitter, announcing that museums would reopen today and the National Zoo in Washington on Friday.
Standard & Poor's estimated the shutdown has taken $24 billion out of the economy, and the Fitch credit rating agency warned Tuesday that it was reviewing its AAA rating on U.S. government debt for a possible downgrade.
Obama and his Democratic allies on Capitol Hill were the decisive winners in the fight, which was sparked by tea party Republicans like Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas, who prevailed upon skeptical GOP leaders to use a normally routine short-term funding bill to "defund" the 2010 health care law known as Obamacare.
"We fought the good fight. We just didn't win," House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, conceded in a radio interview. He was given positive reviews from Republicans for his handling of the crisis, though it again exposed the tenuous grasp he holds over the fractious House GOP conference.
The agreement was brokered by the Senate's top Democrat, Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada, and its Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. They stepped in after the House was unable to coalesce around a Republican-only approach Tuesday.
The Senate approved the legislation by an 81-18 vote; the House followed suit by a tally of 285-144, with 87 Republicans in favor and 144 against, breaking an informal rule in which a majority of the majority party is supposed to carry legislation. Democrats unanimously supported the bill, even though it locks in funding at levels required by across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration.
Hudson, whose 8th District includes most of Robeson County, said the agreement does not address the spending problems facing the country.
"Instead of continuing to kick the can down the road, we need to find long-term solutions that cut wasteful government spending, encourage job creation, and strengthen our economy," he said. "… Today's measure fails to address the harmful effects of Obamacare or eliminate special subsidies and exemptions for members of Congress and the politically connected. We should not and cannot let the president's health care takeover burden our hard-working families, small businesses, and local communities … ."
McIntyre, a Lumberton native, said the pact buys time to continue to look for common ground.
"It is good that we will avoid an economic default and open the doors of government," said McIntyre, whose 7th District includes a small slice of Robeson County. "However, we should continue bipartisan discussions with the goal of putting forth a long-term deficit reduction agreement to get our fiscal house in order and finding other areas of cooperation, including a balanced-budget amendment. "
The legislation would fund the government through Jan. 15 and permit it to borrow normally through Feb. 7, though Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew retains the capacity to employ accounting maneuvers to create wiggle room on the debt limit into mid-March or so.
The shutdown sent GOP approval ratings numbers reeling in public opinion polls and exasperated veteran lawmakers who saw it and the possibility of default as folly.
"After two long weeks, it is time to end this government shutdown. It's time to take the threat of default off the table," House Appropriations Committee Chairman Harold Rogers, R-Ky., said before the vote. "It's time to restore some sanity to this place."
The bill's passage was only a temporary truce that sets up another collision between Obama and Republicans over spending and borrowing early next year. It's the second time this year that Congress has passed legislation to increase the government's borrowing cap with few if any conditions on the president, reversing a 2011 precedent in which the threat of default was used to extract $2.1 trillion in spending cuts from a politically wounded Obama.
"With the shutdown behind us," Obama said after the Senate vote, "we now have an opportunity to focus on a sensible budget that is responsible, that is fair and that helps hardworking people all across this country."
At the same time, House-Senate talks will begin on a broader budget pact in hopes of curbing deficits and easing across-the-board budget cuts that have slammed the Pentagon and domestic agencies alike. Such agreements have proven elusive in the current era of divided government.
The Robesonian contributed to this story by including information from the offices of U.S. Reps. Richard Hudson and Mike McIntyre.

Steel Rails in Sweden and Finland
In less than twenty-two minutes I traveled from Copenhagen Airport to the Swedish city of Malmo. I wondered if the rest of my rail trip through Sweden and Finland would be as easy, and it was. Rail travel in the Scandinavian countries was reasonable and satisfying, a win-win situation.
My trip took me to Stockholm, Helsinki and several other delightful Scandinavian hideaways. Traveling on the steel rails in Scandinavia opened up the possibility of meeting locals as well as hitting spots not on the usual tourist zones.
A Royal Gathering
A short walk from Malmo's central train station in the heart of the old city took me to the Hotel Master Johan, a wonderfully half-timbered building that fits in perfectly with the city's old heart and very near the Lilla Torg. It is from the Lilla Torg that Malmo's late medieval streets emanate.
It was a great coincidence that I was visiting just as the Danish Royal Family was hooking up with the Swedish Royal family on the square. Malmo has been under control of both several times over the years, and the city is worth battling over. These days, however, the two royal families get along royally.
Malmo has recently risen like the phoenix after some years of decline. Now the city sparkles with energy. Just outside the old center industrial space has been converted into ultra sleek living spaces and fantastic modern architecture.
Crystal Dreams
After a night of Bacchanalian behavior in Malmo, I wheeled my bag to the central train station to board one of Sweden's X 2000 trains to Alvesta -- the departure point to visit Kosta Boda, the oldest glass manufacturing factory in Sweden.
Kosta Boda has a world class reputation for stunning glass works and is also the largest facility that is open to the public and free of charge to boot. It is the heart and soul of the Kingdom of Crystal.
To gain another perspective of glass work, a visit to Transjo Hytta is a wonderful choice. Transjo is the studio and shop of Sweden's foremost master glassblower today, Jan-Erik Ritzman. Ritzman started his career at the Kosta Factory in 1957 and moved out on his own in 1982.
Taking Stock in Stockholm
Back aboard the X 2000 the next morning I really got a chance to test out the services that Sweden's trains provide. Lunch was provided at my comfortable seat and served white glove style. While devouring my salmon platter I surfed the web for some Stockholm tips; wireless is free on the first class seats.
Stockholm is built on 14 islands and buzzes with excitement and style, a visual seaside paradise. I started my exploration on Gamla Stan, the historical heart of the city.
As I sat at dinner at the Sture Hof that evening, I was astounded by just about everything -- fresh seafood served in a historic building with an amazingly modern interior. Blond gods and goddesses sipping glowing cocktails in animated conversation filled most of the outdoor tables. Laughter mixed with the live background music was all the proof I needed that Stockholm is a city with a great blend.
Unfortunately my stay was ending the next day; leaving the steel rails behind for a crossing of the Baltic was my next plan of action. It would have been easy to stay, but Helsinki called.
Seafaring to Helsinki
As I boarded the Silja Serenade I knew that my lapse in train travel was justified; as Vikings have in the past I was continuing my journey via boat.
After a night of gorging at the smorgasbord I hit the casino, a few extra dollars won to be dispersed in Helsinki. The best part of the trip, however, was going back up to the top deck in the cool air as the stars sparkled above. Arriving at the Helsinki Harbor via ship is fabulous. I cannot think of a better way to reach a destination.
Helsinki has its Own Style
Though ruled by both Sweden and Russia in the past, Helsinki is its own, not a homogenized version of either. It deserves its current popularity. Helsinki is compact yet complete in every sense of the word. The predominant architectural style is Art Noveau and Neo-Classical with broad parks and modern shopping.
Senate Square is in the heart of old Helsinki and is dominated by the snow white Lutheran Church. In the center of the square is a statue of Alexander the II, the Russian Czar, a reminder of Russian occupation days.
After a morning checking out the main shopping streets of Aleksanterinkatu and Fredrikinkatu, I decided to take a small ferry to the island of Suomenlinna, complete with fortress and an artist colony. It was begun by the Swedes, captured by the Russians and shelled by the British and is today listed as a World Heritage site. There are several cafes and restaurants on the island. Ending my day over a coffee at the Esplanad Café put me just right for Helsinki's vibrant night life.
Tramping Around Tampere
With my handy Eurail pass, I headed north of Helsinki to Finland's third largest city, Tampere, on the S2 Train. Tampere is located in the midst of 200 lakes, one reason that industry boomed here years ago.
Today Tampere has incorporated the old industrial buildings into museum and gallery space. This city is tops for Finnish travelers and will soon be on the international list also. It was in Tampere's Workers Halls that Lenin, while in exile from Russia, built up his worker party ideology. In fact the city has the only permanent Lenin Museum in the world.
Another interesting little museum gem is located in Tampere, the Spy Museum. The museum follows the history of espionage throughout history, especially during the cold war. Finland's geographical position made it a place for both sides to wheel and deal in information.
Viking Heritage and an Ancient Capital.
Spread out along the banks of the Aurajoki River is the lovely city of Turku, once the capital of Swedish-held Finland. Swedish is still spoken and signs are often in both languages. Its position on the river and Baltic Sea has made it a shipping and trading center for centuries.
Today those banks are filled with restaurants and cafes and the good times roll. University students blend with fishermen and businessmen. Tall ships are interspaced with modern sailing craft and small ferries cross the river.
The sentry of the harbor is the Turku Castle, an imposing white fortress dating from 1280. One guest of the castle was King Eric XIV of Sweden who was imprisoned, having been declared insane.
For a real treat head eight miles from the city to the stunning seaside village of Naantali and its horseshoe harbor. The village grew up around the founding of a convent in 1440; today the presidential summer residence, called Kulturanta, is a major draw and its 56 hectare grounds are filled with blossoms. The area is most pleasant to say the least.
The Steel Rails of Sweden and Finland
On the upper level of one of Finland's new trains for my trip back to Helsinki and home, I had time to review my train travels through both Finland and Sweden. With just enough frequency the drink cart appeared and I was offered a refreshing Finnish beer.
To sum it up I would make train travel in this neck of the world my first choice for exploration. The convenience and efficiency as well as comfort were undeniably grand.
As I have for past travels, I acquired my rail pass from Eurail and was once again so very pleased. I have yet to have anything but great experiences with them.
Sit back and relax. It is what riding steel rails is all about.

Shame on you, Ted Shuttleworth. The former screenwriter on the acclaimed television series NYPD Blue has just been arrested by ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement (HLE) Agents for beating his Toy Poodle, Lola, to death.
The 51-year-old is accused of striking his four pound dog in the face causing massive brain injury.
"This is a clear case of inexplicable brutality against a tiny helpless animal victim," says Stacy Wolf, ASPCA Vice President and Chief Counsel for the Humane Law Enforcement Department. "The necropsy established in graphic detail that this dog died a violent death."
Shuttleworth was arrested on Saturday by ASPCA Special Investigator Paul Romano. His next court date is July 26 in Queens Criminal Court.
Animal cruelty is a crime in every state. And one of the most important actions you can take is to report suspicious behavior. Visit our Report Cruelty FAQ to learn how.
I am feeling physically ill after reading this. IMHO, HE should get HIS head bashed in! Sorry if I sound radical -- I have no patience or tolerance for people like this!!
I agree with you - current 'punishments' are too soft
They are way to soft on people who do these kinds of things. If only they could be stricter this kind of actions would stop! I think its ridiculous that a grown adult can do something like this a get a slap on the hand. These are basically defensless animals and are only guilty of loving you. Shameful!
Please prosecute this animal to the fullest!!!! This is disgraceful!!!!!
Someone should beat him, not in the head tho for fear of brain damage, because he is obviously that way already if he could even do that. Animal!
We as I see it....Maybe he should be hit in the face with a few things....Or maybe fall down a few stairs in the police dept...Just Sayin.....

Phillips paces Lady Falcons to 3rd place finish at Pre-Regional Meet
September 12, 2009
WINGATE, N.C. The Pfeiffer University womens cross country team finish third out of ten teams at Saturday afternoons pre-regional meet at Wingate University. Lindsey Phillips paced the Lady Falcons with a third place finish out of 71 runners with a time of 25:28. Pfeiffer finished the 6k race with 81 points, trailing Anderson and Wingate for the top spots.
Phillips trailed Whitney Bishoff of Anderson by just 81 seconds for a potential first-place individual finish. Kaitlyn Mullis came across the line second for the Lady Falcons in 11th place overall, just in front of teammate Magen Abernathy in 12th. Mullis finished just two seconds in front of Abernathy with a 26:44.
Other finishers for Pfeiffer included Rachel Biggerstaff in 21st place clocking in at 28:22, Yasmin Ingram in 34th place with a 30:21 and April Hinson with a 41st overall finishing with a 31:41.
Head coach Scott Nolt was impressed with todays efforts. The team stepped up today and although we were missing four runners, had a good team finish said Nolt. Anderson is really good. I think if we would have had everyone out there, it would have been a good race. Lindsey [Phillips] had a great race today. She was in the front all race and barely missed coming in 2nd. She continues to get better every week. Magens effort today was incredible. She has been sick the last couple of days and collapsed at the finish after holding on to a top-12 finish.

The legal and financial woes of a Tustin medical lender could spread to four central Orange County hospitals.
Medical Capital Holdings - which a federal judge shut down Monday - defaulted earlier this year on $12.7 million in financing to Santa Ana-based Integrated Health Care Holdings Inc.
That loss threatens the future of IHHI, operator of Western Medical Center-Santa Ana and three other hospitals.
"Medical Capital's nonperformance is a huge issue," IHHI attorney David Robinson said Monday. "For the time being, things seem to have stabilized, but the company is very concerned."
In its latest public report, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 29, IHHI said Medical Capital's default creates "substantial doubt" about the hospital chain's ability to stay in business.
Medical Capital's attorney did not return two phone calls seeking comment.
The four IHHI hospitals play a critical role in the county's health care system.
Western Medical Center-Santa Ana runs one of three trauma centers countywide. It and the other IHHI-owned hospitals - Western Medical Center-Anaheim, Coastal Communities Hospital in Santa Ana and Chapman Medical Center in Orange - serve some of the county's poorest residents. Together the four hospitals have 762 beds, 12 percent of the county total.
IHHI in turn relies on Medical Capital. IHHI owes Medical Capital $81 million in long-term loans, and it has relied on the company for short-term cash as well.
Medical Capital buys billings, or receivables, from hospitals and other health care providers at a discount. That brings immediate cash to financially pressed hospital operators such as IHHI and profits for investors when the bills eventually are paid.
Over the past six years, Medical Capital has raised $2.2 billion from 20,000 investors to buy hospital receivables and other, more exotic investments including a 118-foot yacht.
The SEC sued Medical Capital and top officers Sidney M. Field and Joseph J. "Joey" Lampariello last month, alleging they defrauded investors. The SEC claimed they wrongfully diverted $18.5 million of investors' money and failed to tell investors about several defaults.
U.S. District Judge David O. Carter on Monday ordered the company to stop selling investments, froze its assets and installed a receiver to take charge of the books.
Medical Capital began defaulting on payments to investors a year ago. In letters to investors, filed in court by the SEC, the company blamed the defaults on "a temporary liquidity issue" stemming from slow payments and a shortage of new receivables.
The defaults angered investors and brokers. In a July 30, 2008, e-mail filed in court, Thomas Cross, a senior vice president at broker Securities America wrote, "This is beyond alarming for us. ⦠I honestly fear a panicked run on the bank."

CUT's 24-22 defeat to UKZN in the last round of the Varsity Shield cost the Bloemfontein-based university a home final next week.
The loss in Pietermaritzburg sees CUT finish second on the log, which gifts Wits a home final in Johannesburg to be played on 5 March. The winner of the play-off will face TUT in the Varsity Cup promotion/relegation play-off.
In the last round robin game at the Peter Booysen Stadium, fullback Andre le Roux's penalty was the difference at the break as his penalty edged CUT into a 10-7 lead. The tight affair continued in the second stanza but it was UKZN who managed to clinch the win that secured them a league double over the tournament favourites.
Meanwhile, in Bellville, UWC finished their campaign with a 26-12 win over Fort Hare, who finish last in the standings.
Fullback Ayanda Mateisi kicked four penalties in the first half to put Fort Hare ahead at the break, but UWC finished the game well as they ran in three tries through centre Adrian Herman (2) and wing Anthony Volminck to down the team from the Eastern Cape.

Comments about Lezyne Led Femto Drive Rear:
This light is extremely well made, but ultimately disappointing. It is made from aluminum, so it seems much sturdier than others of simlar price. However, it is difficult to turn on and not very bright. I want a tail light that is as visible as possible for safety. This is not that light. It is also tough to turn on, requiring lots of pressure. You almost have to mount in on a frame member to have a solid surface to press it against. Because it is so tough to turn on, it took me and 2 bike shop employees about 5 minutes to figure out how to turn it on. There are brighter, more user friendly lights out there, but not many are built so well.

Job Tips to Help you Get hired and find the local job you are looking for.
6 job tips to help you get a local job you love
1) First, figure out what you want. What kind of people do you want to work with? What makes you happy? What time of the day do you want to work? Do you have a family and different priorities to deal with? Figuring out the answers to these questions is step 1 in getting the job you want. Because if you don't really want a job that you interview for – your interviewer will know it. The Bible says to find joy in your work – so find something you like about a position when applying and interviewing and then focus on that.Jobs For Felons indianapolis
Get started now!
2) Ask people around you what they think you would be good at or love to do. Sometimes we can waste so much time surfing the internet and looking for something and we don't even know what we want – so a good place to start is by asking your friends and family – and people know you – from school, other parents, church, gym, etc. The key to this is that as you do this – you will find answers, but the hidden value you will receive is that you may also get referred to a job, and then your chance to get the job skyrockets!
3) After you decide what you want to do – and you have a good idea of where it is you can find this – sit down and map out how you will get this job – will it be a local job? Will the job be in your area? Do you need to talk with a spouse before moving forward? Do you need a car or public transportation or some 'buddy' system to get to work? Work out the details so that nothing is holding you back and you can focus straight ahead. Jobs For Felons indianapolis Get started now!
4) Get on Facebook and linkedin – and start to network. This is similar to #2 above – but now – this is your mission. Meet people – contact people and find out about local jobs in your area that would be best for you.
5) Remember – the first impression is so important once you get an interview. The most important thing you could do when you walk into an interview is to SMILE. Most people don't smile – and this alone will carry heavy weight…big time!
6) Get education so that you can get a higher paying job - we highly recommend you continue to step 2 and help yourself to make more money.
Employers love someone who has some education or is pursuing an education for a local job - so be sure to advance to step 2 - - Jobs-For-Felons-indianapolisGet started now!
Good luck and get that job!

Irate strippers, a desperate Lions fan, and Butch James's homecoming. It's been an eventful week in Durban people.
Let me begin this installment of the keo.co.za tour diary by saying that Durban rocks. After spending a week in that God-forsaken Jozi with Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon (read: Cardinelli and Ball) it was a relief to finally get away and kick it by myself in a city that's a lot more like Cape Town.
Cardinelli has arrived here now, so my life will be a misery again as I'll have to endure his constant nagging about my grooming time, and his indifferent attitude towards basic hygiene. Anyway.
Despite Cardinelli, the vibe will only get better this week when the rest of the Lions contingent roll into town after watching their side take on the Southern Kings in the Republic of Cheeky.
There are a fair few Lions disciples here already, and they've certainly been making their presence felt in the city's pubs and clubs. They're easily identifiable, because it seems they have arrived here with the sole objective of establishing how many days in succession one can wear a Lions replica shirt before it starts to melt into your flesh.
I spotted a couple of blokes at a local nightclub with the shirts on, and, to my disgust, saw them having breakfast the next morning wearing the same smoky, dop-stained shirts they'd jolled in the night before. Cardinelli would have approved.
The dress code at some of Durban's trendier joints has been relaxed to accommodate the tourists' preferred kit. I guess allowing non-collared shirt wearing patrons in is a small price to pay when you know that they're going to spend a small fortune at the bar.
But it seems not all the Lions lads are loaded.
Imagine my surprise when I was having a quiet drink at Billy the Bums only to be distracted by a flash of red, then to hear the furious clapping of high heels and a heavily accented screech, 'Storp! Geeve munee!'.
You see, Billy's is situated next to one of the city's more popular strip joints, and I surmised that this particular fella must have been so taken by the semi-clad eastern European leeches on show, that he overcooked the card.
Realising that the 3.5m, 270kg Nigerian at the door was about to dish out a brutal lesson, he made a run for it. And run he did. Fast. Credit has to go to Olga, who was pretty brisk on those clear heels, but sadly for her and the man mountain, who seemed to concede defeat early in the pursuit, they weren't ever going to catch a man whose every stride was fueled by the knowledge that he was about to take the beating of his life, and also one whose every step took him closer to telling his mates about the time he got R6000 worth of lap dances, gratis.
Hey, another thing that obviously didn't come cheap was the spectacular Moses Mabhida stadium, being built for the 2010 World Cup.
It looks like it's something off the set of Transformers, and may very well have the latent potential to fold up and start walking towards King's Park, situated across the road, and blow the hell outta the cement monstrosity. City officials have pleaded with the Sharks to move in after the World Cup, and have been duly given the finger. Sentiment aside, I can't for the life of me think why they wouldn't want to, but that's a debate for them to have.
The only reason I hope they don't move is because I know the Sharks' merchandise shop at the Moses Mabhida stadium will knob you harder than the one at King's Park.
Now before you lot throw your hands up in disgust and declare 'We always knew he was a Sharks fan', let me explain.
I'm from the Jake White school of thought on socks – I hate wearing them and own just six black ones. (Note: I didn't say three pairs). But the need for socks became apparent when I was forced to park in Jo'burg and walk to the stadium on Wednesday for the Sharks/Lions match. Upon reaching my destination my feet were sticking to the inside of my shoes as tightly as that psycho bird you dated on your mom's request in varsity stuck to you.
I needed socks, and the only place to get some was in the Sharks' shop. Fifty-five rand later I was wondering how I was going to justify that claim on the expensive account. The reality is I'm not. Those socks, complete with a Sharks logo, are one of my worst purchases ever – a close second to that time I spent a couple of grand on some female midget wrestlers and twelve litres of sweet corn. That's not a story for a family blog though.
Speaking of King's Park, one of its favourite sons, Butch James, is back in town. I caught up with the Bath flyhalf at a pub in Durban North, and he said the knee injury that ruled him out of the Lions tour was healing well. Thankfully he's gotten rid of the thick blond mop of hair he was sporting for most of the year, and the boy is looking strong and lean. The Springboks will miss him.
A mate of mine from the Durban media made it his mission to ensure I had a total experience of the city's nightlife.
In 2007 I'd been to the famous 80's club with the human female repellent, Cardinelli and Borchardt. It was fun, with lots of hot ladies. White ladies. Blonde hair, green eyes, you know, the kind Hitler would have approved of.
Being keo.co.za's only non-racist writer, I needed to see what was cracking with the Indians and coloureds. So I headed to Casa Nostra on the hip Florida Road strip.
For the benefit of the white okes, it's like Tiger Tiger, only with no white folk. It was so hot in the place that I thought they might have had a furnace-powered curry stand in there. So we ducked and headed to Zoom on Stamford Hill.
For my brown brothers from Cape Town, it's like the Galaxy, only with uglier girls and cheaper booze. I was comfortable that taking advantage the latter would improve the problem noted in the former, and opted to stay. The music was superb. If you like your music to sound like the band's front man is possessed, you'll hate this joint.
The evening ended with a trip to this late night take-away, where men who weren't shown love in their childhood were wheel-spinning in their GTIs.
I declined the famous bunny-chow in favour of a plain cheese burger. There was nothing plain about that burger, because I type this while perched on the throne. I've been here for two days.
By Ryan Vrede, in Durban.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Pfeiffer University dug themselves into a deep hole early on as top-seeded Limestone scored six first period goals en route to a 10-4 win over the fourth-seeded Falcons in semifinal action of the 2010 Conference Carolinas men's lacrosse tournament. The victory put the Saints, nationally-ranked #4, into Sunday championship game at 1:00 p.m. improving to 10-1 overall while the Falcons end their season at 8-9.
Conference Carolinas player of the year Mike Poerstel put the Saints on the board just 14 seconds into the contest. Pfeiffer's Justin Rose square the contest just 1:09 later on an assist from Kory Lutes. Limestone closed out the half with five straight tallies as Poerstel put his second of three home on an assist from Teddy Prager. Randy Waugh, Sam Buppert and Jake Rogalia each hit unassisted before Jackson Decker finished the quarter on an assist from Brian Zwick.
Sam McDaniel scored for the Falcons halfway through the second period as Pfeiffer trailed 6-2 at the half. Starting the third, Riley Loewen struck twice on assists from Decker and Rogalia before Derrick Ensor made it an 8-3 contest at the 5:35 mark of the third. Lutes cut the lead in half at 8-4 just 40 seconds later before Decker and Poerstel scored the final pair of goals in the Saints six point win.

Sonar Pitest Plugin
LGPL v3
Alexandre Victoor
Latest version
PIT is a mutation testing tool for java. You can check out the official pitest web site for more details on mutation testing and PIT.
Long story short, mutation testing is a very smart way to check the relevance of unit tests. The main idea is to alter the tested code and check that at least one unit test fails. An alteration of the code is called a "mutant". A mutant has "survived" the tests if there is no test failure.
The goal of this plugin is to bring PIT results to sonar. Right now the integration of these result is quite simple, "survived mutants" on code covered by tests are seen as sonar violations.
Usage & Installation
Limitations of mutation testing
This section is not specific to PIT but since mutation testing is not yet a mainstream method... Here are a couple of general advises and warnings:
- Mutation testing is very CPU time expensive. It is really important to control the scope of mutation testing in order to keep acceptable sonar analysis times. See below for tips on analysis time.
- Mutation testing works on true unit tests. Do not try to use it on integration tests, you might mess up your database, file system, whatever external system used by your integration tests.
Sonar server installation
On the sonar side, just copy the sonar-pitest-plugin jar to the extensions/plugins directory just like any regular sonar plugin.
Since mutation testing is not (yet) officially supported by sonar, this plugin acts as a "single rule" rule engine... This rule, named "Survived mutant", is disabled by default and hence needs to be activated when pitest is used.
Project build setup
You have two options in order to produce PIT reports for sonar. You can either let the sonar plugin run PIT or you can run PIT prior to the sonar analysis.
PIT launched by Sonar
This is the recommended way to go if your build is based on maven 2. Most mandatory PIT configuration entries will be set using information provided by the pom.xml file of your project. You just need to activate PIT execution and specify which classes to mutate and tests to execute. Below an example:
Note: you will find at the bottom of this page an exhaustive description of all the configuration parameters.
The example above tells PIT to mutate classes from packages starting with "com.acme.tools.commons". It also specifies that test classes are located in packages starting with "com.acme.tools.commons".
PIT launched before Sonar
You can launch PIT using the PIT maven plugin or the command line runner. PIT execution must be done before sonar analysis. You also need to specify the "reuseReport" mode of the PIT sonar plugin.
Pit needs to be configured in order to generate XML reports. Be aware that PIT default behavior is to generate HTML reports. Below a simple configuration example for maven :
inScopeClasses and targetClasses parameters indicated the classes of the system under test where mutations can be performed. In the example above, all the classes from the com.acme.tools.commons package and sub packages may be altered.
Once configured in the maven pom file, you need to run PITusing the following command "mvn org.pitest:pitest-maven:mutationCoverage".
Note : Of course, all the configuration options are clearly explained in the official pitest documentation.
Last but not least, you need to run a sonar analysis with the PIT plugin activated in "reuseReport" mode. The following command would do the job :
"mvn sonar:sonar -Dsonar.pitest.mode=reuseReport"
By default sonar will search the latest PIT report in "target/pit-reports". You can specify another location using property "sonar.pitest.reportsDirectory".
You will find below the list of all the available configuration parameters.
Basic configuration properties
Below the exhaustive list of configuration properties of the sonar pitest plugin.
Default value
Pitest activation mode
Possible values : 'skip', 'active' (not supported yet) and 'reuseReport'
Path to the pitest reports
Path used when mode "reuseReport" is activate to locate pitest xml reports.
|Classes to include in mutation tests
|The classes to be mutated. This is expressed as a comma seperated list of globs. For example com.mycompany.* or com.mycompany.package.*, com.mycompany.packageB.Foo, com.partner.*. When maven is used, the default value is 'groupId*'
|Tests to run
|A comma seperated list of globs can be supplied to this parameter to limit the tests available to be run. If not specified, the value of "sonar.pit.target.classes" is used (not recommended)
Advanced configuration properties
Default value
|TestNG Groups to include
|List of TestNG groups to include in mutation analysis.
|TestNG Groups to exclude
|List of TestNG groups to exclude from mutation analysis.
|Throw error if no mutations found
Whether to throw error when no mutations found.
|Arguments to pass to child processes
|List of arguments to use when PIT launches child processes. This is most commonly used to increase the amount of memory available to the process, but may be used to pass any valid JVM argument.
|Maximum number of mutations to allow per class
|-1 (no limit)
|The maximum number of mutations to create per class. Use 0 or -ve number to set no limit.
|Constant amount of additional time to allow for timeouts
|Constant amount of additional time to allow a test to run for (after the application of the timeoutFactor) before considering it to be stuck in an infinite loop.
|Weighting to allow for timeouts
|A factor to apply to the normal runtime of a test when considering if it is stuck in an infinite loop.
|Mutation operators to apply
|See official PIT documentation for the list of available mutators:
|Mutate static initializers
|Whether or not to create mutations in static initializers. Defaults to false.
|Number of threads to use
|Maximum dependency distance
|-1 (no limit)
Maximum distance to look from test to class. Relevant when mutating static initializers
Calls excluded from mutations
major logging framework APIs
List of packages and classes which are to be considered outside the scope of mutation
Classes not to mutate or run tests from
List of globs to match against class names. Matching classes will be excluded from mutation. Matching test classes will not be run (note if a suite includes an excluded class, then it will "leak" back in).
|Methods not to mutate
|List of globs to match against method names. Methods matching the globs will be exluded from mutation.
|PIT classpath
Not useful when maven is used.
You can check out the quickstart section of the official pitest web site for detailed instructions.
