This is a quick blog post to let my mate Ollie know about a few ways that I use SSH and how it is useful.
Firstly, a SSH client connects to a SSH server, logs in with either a password or certificate and communicates over an encrypted tunnel. The beauty of SSH is that it is also easy to tunnel other types of traffic such as HTTP or VNC over the tunnel. This is useful for the following:
> Secure Administration of a remote server.
> Secure File transfer.
> Securing web traffic over a non-secure wired or wireless network.
> Bypassing of restrictions and filtering imposed on the local network.
> Privoxy
> Screen
At home I have installed SSH on a server and started the service (/etc/init.d/ssh start) listening on port 22 for SSH traffic. I have set port forwarding up on my firewall to allow traffic to hit the server on this port. Usually I will set up a non-standard port but for the sake of an easy explanation I'll leave it at port 22.
On that server I have also installed pivoxy (apt-get install privoxy), and started it (/etc/init.d/privoxy start). By default, Privoxy binds to 127.0.0.1:8118 , and I have also installed Screen. Screen is a program that allows you to have multiple terminal sessions open at once and leave them running after disconnecting from the SSH server.
Connecting To The Server
From my client I connect to the server by using the following command:
ssh synjunkie@ssh_server_ipaddress
After logging in I can issue commands as if I'm sitting at the server. After connecting I would start Screen by issuing the `screen` command. If I wanted to connect to a previous screen session I would use `screen -r`
You navigate through Screen by issuing commands through key-bindings. A few of the ones I find most useful are:
Ctrl+a c new window
Ctrl+a n next window
Ctrl+a p previous window
Ctrl+a " select window from list
Ctrl+a A set window title
Ctrl+a ? show key bindings/command names
Ctrl+a d detach screen from terminal
Screen is great because you can leave a scan going in one session, irc in another and say a traffic capture in another.
Tunneling Traffic
as well as connecting to the server I might want to tunnel some traffic over SSH to my home server and then back out.
For this I would issue the following command on my client and log in.
ssh -NL 8118:localhost:8118 synjunkie@ssh_server_ipaddress
After setting up the tunnel I would go into the proxy settings on my browser and point them to localhost port 8118.
I hope this illustrates a couple of good uses for SSH.

SSH Tunneling
This is a quick blog post to let my mate Ollie know about a few ways that I use SSH and how it is useful.
6 comments:
i tried but this is not working dude..
on opening any url in browser it is showing a message that connect to privoxy on ssh server but can't resolve dns.
i also tried putting ip address but even then it is not working.

Hi callis
I know this works but to troubleshoot it what i would do is:
1) Make sure that you can browse and resolve DNS from the privoxy server.
2) On the client, test privoxy without the SSH tunnel first by changing your browse settings to it (server IP and port) and seeing if you can get out like that. This will need to be done whilst you are on the LAN where the privoxy server is.
Then test through SSH (remember to change your browser proxy settings back to localhost though). You could see my more recent post on SSH Tunelling the Pretty way, maybe that will help.

It occurred to me after my previous reply that DNS probably doesn't go over the SSH tunnel. You can verify this with Wireshark or TCPdump.
before bringing up your tunnel try pinging a few remote sites and see if you get a response and the name resolved. I not, maybe try pointing your name servers (/etc/resolv.conf) to the opendns servers (18.104.22.168) for resolution.
- December 16, 2008 at 9:12 AM
Are there any free/public ssh servers? Or do you just ssh to your own IP?
- February 26, 2010 at 7:57 PM
- SynJunkie said...
I use my own. My thoughts are if its my own I can trust it, I wouldn't want to go to the hassle of SSH'ing to a box that I could trust no more than the network i'm SSH'ing through.
Hope that makes sense. Cheers

great!!! thanks ;)

What Is a Biopsy?
In this article
What to Expect From Your Biopsy
Biopsies vary greatly according to how difficult the tissue is to obtain. The medical term for this is "invasiveness."
A minimally invasive biopsy (for example, most skin biopsies) may be done in the doctor's office during the same visit the lesion is discovered. A small injection of numbing medicine can make the procedure almost painless.
More invasive biopsies may be done in a hospital, a surgery center, or a specialized doctor's office. You would make a separate appointment for the biopsy. In most cases, sedating and pain relief medicines are given, reducing any discomfort. You likely won't be able to drive after receiving these medicines.
You may feel sore at the area of the biopsy for a few days. Your doctor can prescribe appropriate pain relief medicines if you have significant pain from the biopsy.
What Happens After the Biopsy?
After the tissue is collected and preserved, it's delivered to a pathologist. Pathologists are doctors who specialize in diagnosing conditions based on tissue samples and other tests. (In some cases, the doctor collecting the sample can diagnose the condition.)
A pathologist examines the biopsy tissue under a microscope. By noting the tissue cells' type, shape, and internal activity, in most cases a pathologist can diagnose the problem.
The time it takes to get results from a biopsy can vary. During a surgery, a pathologist may read a biopsy and report back to a surgeon in a few minutes. Final, highly accurate conclusions on biopsies often take a week or longer. You will probably follow up with your regular doctor to discuss the biopsy results.

$194,000 in debt and they broke up? Sissies. We're staring down the barrel of $350,000 of student loan debt and still going strong.

College is purely what you get out of it. If you take a bunch of slacker classes, major in history, and generally just don't seek out a career path . . . well, you're sunk. But for those of us who have career aspirations and work towards them while in college its almost a surefire guarantee of future success. Its kind of silly to just say college is a waste since some people graduate with tons of debt and no job, you have to look into the individual to find out the truth behind the story.
For the record I'm a senior at a public college (which you can probably guess from my name) who is majoring in an engineering (won't be more specific).

I'm a mechanical engineering student with 4 classes left after this semester. I paid for school for the first time last summer, as most of my scholarships don't cover summer classes. I still only had to pay about $300 after all my financial aid came in, though. The last two semesters I've also received so much financial aid that I get thousands in minimally-taxed disbursements from the school, moreso than previous semesters. Of course, I go to Wayne State University. An average semester costs about $5,000, so the grants and scholarships go much farther. I've been able to avoid paying a lot for books by buying cheap international editions on eBay or borrowing/trading from friends. I only live 10-15 minutes away from campus, so I have no room and board costs.
Last year, I worked two separate internships. One was at DTE Energy for about 4 monts at $17.50/hr, while the other was at Visteon for about two months at $21/hour. In addition to giving me enough money so that I don't really have to worry if my financial aid somehow comes up short, I already have experience when I apply for jobs when I graduate.
"Out of many, we are one; ... while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people: Yes We Can." -- President Barack Obama
Some go to work for the Government, some open their own practices, some work for small firms (not requiring 80 to 100 or more billing hours per week), etc.
I went to college during the Reagan years, after financial aid programs were cut to the bone. I didn't even consider a private school. I thought things were tough financially. I kept my grades very high, which resulted in good grants (enough to pay tuition). I graduated from an excellent public school with $5,000 in student loan debt.
I had no idea how much worse things would be for future students.
I think Dr. Wu is right. Hard-working parents save like mad to put their kids through school. I don't think you should walk up to a place like Bryn Mawr (for example), and just borrow the money to go. That's never been a smart thing to do.

Colleges have figured out a way to soak just about every penny possible from those who go there. (The well-to-do pay progressively more than others.) This practice -- price discrimination -- is illegal in many other economic circumstances. Yet common place in Universities.
Or, check this NYT article from '97 (when tuitions were relatively modest compared to today's levels):
BTW, I think James Day (the consulting guy at the bottom) is completely wrong, economics-wise. Price discrimination produces the most value for the seller -- since colleges basically accept the same number of people every year regardless all charging more does is reduces the value of the school to students.
Yes, if you're smart and hardworking, you will most likely make lots of money without a degree, but college also opens many doors for the rest of us...especially if you attend a top tier school.
Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, etc grads have it a little easier. Many of these schools have instituted a "no loan" policy.

Must be nice to have a war chest. Wish that was reality for all schools besides Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and MIT. I'm forced to bury myself for school around here and my school is actually cheaper than public school. Sadly, I've hit the ceiling of what I can do without a college degree.
Let the poor pay their share of taxes, then we'll talk about increasing taxes on everyone else.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - On Saturday, Oct. 20, 10 a.m.-2:30 p.m. the Truckee Elementary School playground becomes the home of the much anticipated Truckee Elementary Pumpkin Patch. Admission is free. Cost for event activities range from $1-4. If it rains or snows, the festivities will be moved inside.
"In the spirit of Halloween and raising money for our children's classrooms, we encourage families to come in costume, and enjoy a day full of activities," said Truckee Elementary PTO Co-President Katie Flynn.
This ghoulish good time will include a pumpkin patch, carnival games, pony rides, haunted and not-so-haunted houses, petting zoo, mini golf, "slime the witch," a Dia de los Muertos table, cake walk, music, food vendors, spider hockey and more. Pumpkins will be available to purchase, as will food and treats.
"We can't thank our community enough and those who come from other schools year after year to enjoy this fun-filled event and to support Truckee Elementary. Last year our Pumpkin Patch raised $18,000," said Alex Herrera, PTO co-president. "All proceeds support a wide range of classroom expenditures, including new art supplies, books for creative story-telling time, field trips that encourage environmental-based learning and much more."
The Pumpkin Patch comes alive in thanks to many volunteers and benefactors including numerous Truckee businesses: $6,200 was donated last year to Truckee Elementary from businesses through participation in this event. The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) donates hundreds of hours organizing and implementing the event; Truckee Elementary teachers and students from each classroom staff a booth, and Truckee High School and Middle School students donate their time the day of the event.
The Truckee Elementary PTO wants to extend a heartfelt thank you to this year's generous Pumpkin Patch sponsors including Dickson Realty, Western Nevada Supply, West Orthodontics Teichert Aggregates, Taco Bell, Tyson Lechner, Truckee Tahoe Airport District, Mountain Home Center, and Tahoe Truckee Lumber.
"The generosity of our sponsors is what makes events like Pumpkin Patch possible, and in turn, what makes a lot of our school's supplemental resources and programs possible. Support our sponsors, and you support Truckee Elementary," said Herrera.
Truckee Elementary School is located at 11911 Donner Pass Road. For more information visit www.facebook.com/TruckeeElementaryPumpkinPatch or contact Amy Kylberg at firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Pit Bull." There is no other breed of dog—or arguably, any other animal at all—whose mere mention can elicit such strong opinions. Try a word-associate game with your friends: Ask them what they think of when you say "Pit Bull." Chances are that by the numbers, their responses will be more negative than positive. And it's no wonder: No other type of dog is as widely banned from housing, legislated against, or incorrectly vilified by the media.
How did we get here?
Pit Bulls were once widely considered ideal family pets—affectionate, loyal and gentle with children. But in recent years, these dogs have suffered tremendously from a combination of overbreeding, bad publicity and irresponsible owners. In reality, the overwhelming majority of Pits and Pit mixes are sweet goofballs who have gotten a very bad rap.
Learn the truth.
National Pit Bull Awareness Day, on October 27, is a day of appreciation and education designed to change perceptions and stereotypes about Pit Bulls and their responsible owners. Please take a moment to learn the truth about these wonderful dogs and consider rescuing one of them from a shelter.
Are you a proud Pit Bull parent? Please participate in National Pit Bull Awareness Day, and help us dispel the myths about these dogs by leaving a comment below about your wonderful pooch.
We woke up one cold Sunday morning (October 16 2010) & while getting ready for Church, we noticed a big dog in our backyard. My husband went out to her, she was cold, skaking, very scared & had a collar on with a leash still attached. We made a little shelter for her, & gave her food & water. We made signs, ads in paper & called shelters, but very litte response, & IF someone did respond, we tested them & was not going to release her to just anyone! We named her Lilly & she's still here, her forever home. She is one of the greatest sweetest dogs we've ever had. We also have a chihuahua & 5 cats (all rescues in one way or another). Lilly is great with them all. I was one that wasn't sure about pitbulls; Lilly erased any negative feelings I had. We will rescue more animals, even pitbulls, as soon as we can. They all bring us so much joy & unconditional love! My heart breaks for any animals being abuse & mistreated! A righteous man cares for the needs of his animal... Proverbs 12:10
She is a beautiful young lady that found us during the flood in May 2010. She was wet and lonely and came on our porch to get out of the rain the land was soggy and she was muddy and hungry. We feed her and took her in that night and then left her out the next day so that if she wanted to go home she could. She choose to stay and is a wonderful loving creature. She does her nails to perfection everyday and they never have to be clipped she has Hazel eyes and this is what I named her. We have 5 other dogs and the all love to play. The others are Husky mix, and great dane, bull mastiff/boxer mix, a yorkie and a silkie. All wonderfull fuzzy people.
"ASPCA" Please take the negative posters off this blog. I thought we were to post about our own wonderful PitBulls, instead we have these nasty negative people Demeaning our dogs!
I am not in support of this article. I think it is very harmful, deceptive and dangerous. Although some Pitt Bulls can make good pets, the facts (according to Wikipedia) are that Pitt Bulls and Pitt Bull mixes have cause more fatal dog attacks (18) in 2012 than any other breed. Between 2005 and 2012 there were 109 fatal dog attacks caused by Pitt Bulls. Some of these victims were infants and toddlers. Sadly, these are the facts.
Is it sad that Pitt Bulls fill up the shelters? Yes. Is it sad that many of them will be destroyed? Yes. But to advocate that they should be adopted by families with children is simply irresponsible. When a large, reputable organization such as yourself, gives their stamp of approval on something, you'd better be right. In this case it seems that you are ignoring the facts. It is very disappointing. Doesn't it beg the question why all these animals were surrendered? Could it be because they have chased down and bitten a child or person? I will unsubscribe from any further posts, mailings or donations, if you do not rectify this immediately. I will not support an organization that misleads the public with such a possible disastrous outcome.
My boyfriend and have recently become "parents" of a blue nose pitbull. Her name is Ninja and is just beautiful :) When my mom found out we now have a pit bull her reaction was as expected. His Dad is also not so excited about the breed. it really is a shame how mislead people are about pit bulls. My dog Ninja is the sweetest dog you'll ever meet! She wants nothing but to love you. She is so much like an actual human I always forget that she isn't. We love our puppy and if more people would stop and just play with a pit bull maybe their feelings will change.
I rescued Monkey, a stray pit bull, two years ago after he wandered into my yard. I was fearful of him at first, not because of his breed, but because he was an unknown dog and I wanted to be cautious. He was so frightened, hungry/thirsty, and was absolutely starved for affection, so I slowly sat down next to him. He immediately crawled into my lap and allowed me to pick 300+ ticks from his little body. It was evident when I would pick off a painful one, but rather than show any sign of aggression or try to get away, he would simply sigh, breathe heavily, and wag his tail. The next day we took him to the vet, where we learned he was malnourished, severely dehydrated, and was heart-worm positive. We had no choice but to help him, and since that time two years ago, he has fit in wonderfully with my boyfriend and I. He even gets along with my grouchy chihuahua who doesn't seem to like anyone. We estimate Monkey to be about 4 years old, so he was 2 when we found him. For a dog to come into our home that has an unknown background/upbringing, makes it even more evident to me that pit bulls are inherently kind, and it isn't solely dependent on how they are raised. Dogs in general are good- the ones that aren't are the exception, not the norm. The same is true for pit bulls. I have no idea what happened to Monkey in his previous life, but he is fearful of certain things, and he had obviously been on his own for a while. Today, he is the perfect dog. With basic training, patience, and lots of love, Monkey is a great member of society. Pit bulls are not all bad, nor is any breed in it's entirety. I work with a rescue (Triangle Pets Alive) and it saddens me to see so many beautiful, well behaved, and loyal pit bulls being euthanized, simply because of the negative reputation associated with them. They are wonderful companions and live to please you- they are also the best cuddlebugs and need to be touching you constantly, which is something I love. Don't judge a pit bull until you meet one- more often than not, you will realize how lovable and sweet natured they truly are. :)
My friendly neighbors had a very nice pitbull.
A former neighbor (ex-convict) sneaked onto their property near their leashed pitbull when they were away. I couldn't see him with the dog, but heard sounds "ouch f**k" etc., acting like he was bitten (the dog made no sound). His acting job was bad...
Then he walks back to him house, picks up a contractor-grade HAMMER and walks up and hits the dog in the face. I heard the dog yelp. The guy drives off. I go so see the dog, and there was blood on its mouth and nose.
Then the family comes back and sees the dog. Then the abuser pulls back into his house behind theirs, screaming and threatning to shoot their dog, scaring their young daughter to tears.
I called the Police. The guy told the Police that his arm was injured by a transmission falling on it, but obviously was trying to make it look like it was a dog bite for a lawsuit. So I though the Police were helping the situation...
A few months later, and dog somehow got out of the owners' house. I heard gunshots, and went to see. The dog was bleeding and running from the Police, trying to jump back into the house. They kept firing, at least 7-8 shots over a period of at least 5 minutes. I asked a Police Officer what was going-on and he said "the dog bit one of your neighbors so we killed him", even though the bite was fake. There was no bite, it was a transmission.
The dog's owner is suing the Police. Neighbors who witnessed the shooting all had the same consistent story, some spoke to the TV News. The Police called us all liars and said they only shot the dog twice, and only from the road. These are people I never met before, who all came forward with a story which totally contradicts that of our city Police.
Also, this house is less than a block from an elementary school. The Police should have used pepper spray foam, or asked me for help. I've watched this dog when he was loose once before. He just sat on my porch and didn't try to bite anyone.
We have the worst city Police in the USA, and I doubt you could find worse in Mexico.
I had 2 American Staffordshire terriers, aka Pitbulls, and they were sweetest, smoochiest, lap-doggiest, bed-hoggiest, funniest, most precious babies ever. They were named the "Licky dogs" by my friend's children. Cheers to Pitbulls.
The love of my life, one full pit and three part pit's. All rescue from Lamancha Animal Rescue in Unionville, PA. They are tight and a loving pack, they love everyone and everything. Just like children, it's all about how you raise them and the time you devote to them in the form of love.
I have owned a pit bull that was a rescue from Harlem, NY and never was there a kinder safer dog!!! Having said that and agreeing that there are MANY wonderful pit bulls out there. I have also seen a large number of pitbulls that strike fear in my heart. Unfortunately, there are a number of people using them and breeding them irresponsibly and to ignore this would put people in danger and is just as irresponsible as saying that they are all dangerous. Unfortunely with "no kill" shelters dogs that should be put down are not and this results in good dogs losing the possiblity of having a good home. Unfortunely you can't legislate common sense.

The Groovy-Eclipse team is proud to announce the release of Groovy-Eclipse 2.6.0. As usual, we have some exciting new features in this release, including quick fixes/quick assists, improved content assist, and improved search and refactoring. Groovy-Eclipse 2.6.0 includes 1.8.4 support as an optional add-on. Once Grails 2.0 is released officially, we will make Groovy 1.8.x the default compiler in Groovy-Eclipse.
You can use the following update site to install this release:
If you want the Groovy 1.8 compiler, you must explicitly include it by checking the "Extra compilers" category.
And a zipped version of the update site is available at:
- Search and refactoring
- Parser Recovery
- Content assist
- Quick fixes and Quick assists
- Compiler Integration
- Maven integration
- Compatibility
- Bug fixes
- Shout outs
- What's next?
Search and refactoring
Search and refactoring of generated getters, setters, and properties
Groovy-Eclipse now allows you to search for references to generated getters, setters and properties. For example, searching for references to a Groovy property (such as
age in this example) will find all references to
getAge and
setAge in both Java and Groovy files:
Similarly, references Java to getters and setters can be found inside of Groovy files even when they are referenced as properties. In this example, the class
Person is defined in Java with explicit getters and setters. Searching for references on setAge will return references to the generated
age property in the Groovy
This also works for refactoring. As in the first example, when Person is defined as a Groovy class, we can rename
name to
fullName and the synthetic getters and setters will be renamed in both Java and Groovy files:
Note that you will sometimes see warnings during refactoring like this:
This warning comes about since some of the synthetic references in Java files cannot be determined to be precise by the Java search engine. By the nature of the language, refactoring of Groovy code can never be as precise as Java code is. It is always recommended to view the preview page before executing a refactoring.
For more information on this feature, see issues GRECLIPSE-1204, GRECLIPSE-1010, and GRECLIPSE-1205.
Better default parameter support
For this release, we have done significant work with searching for and refactoring methods with default parameters. Now, searching for references to a method that has default parameters will locate all references to that method, regardless of how many parameters that reference uses:
Similarly, rename refactor will correctly rename all references no matter how many parameters are used:
For more information on this feature, see issues GRECLIPSE-1255 and GRECLIPSE-1233.
Better extract local variable refactoring
Extract local variable is now more precise as to where the variable is extracted to. Now, the variable is placed in the statement immediately preceding the variable's first use. See this example, where
map.one is extracted to a variable and placed inside the enclosing closure.
See issue GRECLIPSE-907.
Parser Recovery
Further recovery enhancements have been made to the Groovy Parser. This enables it to cope better with malformed code and that enables content assist to offer suggestions in more places than before. Here are a couple of examples of the 2.6.0 improvements:
When a trailing close paren is missing
These two situations show that correct content assist options are available even though there is a missing close paren:
When working on if conditions
It is now possible to work on
if conditions without the then block {
...} being defined
It will even work if the trailing paren of the
if condition isn't specified:
Content assist
Suppressing default groovy methods (DGMs) from content assist
It is now possible to selectively suppress DGMs from cluttering content assist. There is a new Preferences -> Groovy -> Content Assist preferences page:
This page contains a list of names of DGMs to be filtered from content assist. You can add and remove names individually by clicking on New... and Remove. Alternatively, you can edit the entire list at once by clicking on Add multiple.... This opens a dialog box with a multi-line text editor where you can easily add and remove multiple entries at once. See here:
As expected, when in the editor, entries that have been suppressed no longer appear in content assist. In this case,
each has been filtered, but
eachWithIndex has not:
For more information, see issue GRECLIPSE-1182.
Support for named arguments in constructors
When a Groovy class has no explicit constructor, it is possible to build an instance to the class using named arguments as described in Groovy Beans. Groovy-Eclipse now provides content assist support for this kind of constructor call. In the following example code, performing content assist inside of the parens of the constructor call will bring up all remaining available
And, like all parameters applied in content assist, Groovy-Eclipse guesses some likely values for the parameter:
Note: named parameter content assist will only be available if there is no prefix. I.e., it will be available here:
but not here:
(/**/ is the location where content assist is invoked)
For more information, see GRECLIPSE-1228.
Better content assist for methods with closure arguments
When performing content assist on a method and the last parameter is a closure, the proposal will be applied with an opening curly "{", but no closing curly as here:
As a user, you can choose to delete this and add your own content, or you can press enter and the closure will be completed for you:
For more information, see issue GRECLIPSE-1232.
Better content assist in closures
When inside of a closure, methods defined in the enclosing class are now available in content assist (GRECLIPSE-1114):
Similarly, the fields
closure and
owner are now available in content assist when inside a closure (GRECLIPSE-1267):
Quick fixes and Quick assists
Thanks to some help at a Groovy-Eclipse hackathon, we now have quite a few quick fixes and quick assists. Quick fixes are available based on a particular error marker in the editor. And quick assists are available based on the structure of the syntax tree.
Both quick fixes and quick assists can be invoked by pressing
CTRL-1 (or
CMD-1 in Mac) on a selection in the editor.
Add unimplemented methods/Make class abstract Quick fixes
When a concrete base class implements an abstract super class with abstract methods, there are two quick fixes available:
- Make class abstract, which adds the "abstract" modifier to the sub-class
- Add unimplemented methods, which adds method stubs for all unimplemented methods, as shown here:
Add groovy classpath container Quick fix
When errors like these are seen on the first line of the editor, it means that the Groovy libraries cannot be found:
There is now a quickfix that will automatically add the Groovy classpath container to the project:
Convert to closure and convert to method quick assists
This pair of quick assists can be invoked when inside of a method or closure declaration (the closure declaration must be assigned to a field), and allows a quick conversion between the two.
For example, this method declaration:
is converted into this closure:
And the closure can be converted back into the method declaration.
Convert to single line/multi line string
This pair of quick assists converts between single and multi line strings. When converting between string variants, newlines, tabs, etc are properly (un-)escaped.
Here, a single line string is converted into a multiline string:
And, it can be converted back:
Remove unnecessary semi-colons
This quick fix will remove all unnecessary semi-colons from a Groovy file. For example, this file:
Will have all unnecessary semi-colons removed, but required ones will remain:
Compiler Integration
Groovy 1.8.4 support
Although Groovy-Eclipse still ships with the 1.7.10 compiler by default, 1.8.4 is available as an optional add-on. Groovy-Eclipse always ships with the compiler version that is compatible with the current production release of Grails. Since Grails 2.0 is not available in production yet, we do not ship the Groovy 1.8.x compiler by default.
Better Grab support
Groovy-Eclipse is careful to not allow AST transforms to run during reconciling. Reconciling is the special compile done on the editor contents whilst they are actively being worked on, prior to a save. AST transforms are prevented from running because they can damage source locations/etc that in turn damage other editor features (breaking search/refactoring/etc). However, in 2.6.0 the Grab transformation is being allowed to run since it doesn't modify the code structure but instead just pulls in jars to be on the compilation classpath. This should mean that when working on scripts/etc that are Grab'ing dependencies, there should be no errors in the editor view.
More binary dependencies
The Groovy-Eclipse classpath container now includes the ivy, jline, and bsf jars by default. Even thought these libraries are not typically used directly in user code, including them on the classpath will help with searching for binary references. See GRECLIPSE-1211.
Maven integration
There is now better ordering on the Java classpath of Groovy source folders when importing maven projects that user Groovy into Eclipse and STS. See GRECLIPSE-1222.
Also, we have updated the Groovy-Eclipse compiler plugin for Maven docs to be explicit about how to configure your extra source folders.
Groovy-Eclipse 2.6.0 includes Groovy 1.7.10 by default. Groovy 1.8.4 can be optionally installed. This version of Groovy-Eclipse is recommended to be installed on STS 2.8.1 or 2.9.0.M1, Eclipse 3.7.1 or 3.6.2. There are different update sites for Groovy-Eclipse targeting Eclipse 3.6 and 3.7 (see above).
Bug fixes
We have fixed over 70 bugs for this release. See the details on our issue tracker.

An injury-plagued Grey High will have to dig deep against Paul Roos in Port Elizabeth this weekend.
Click here for more schools stories
Grey suffered a huge setback when four key players picked up injuries in the Eastern Province Craven Week trials. Charismatic centre and goal kicker Nic Holten has torn a hamstring which will keep him on the sidelines for a number of weeks, while SA Schools flanker Siya Kolisa and SA Acadamy winger Paphya Hoya, who have been at the forefront of Grey's victories this season, are also out of action.
'It's been a living nightmare this week,' Grey coach Dean Carelse told keo.co.za. 'We have key players out and have had to rethink our approach for Saturday's game. The Craven Week trials, along with the Meyer Sauerman festival, have had a huge impact on our side in terms of injuries. At this stage, the demands on our players are unrealistic. However, we can't make any excuses – we have to concentrate on the job at hand and make sure we are technically efficient on the weekend.'
In stark contrast, Paul Roos will arrive in PE with a full-strength side. After last week's fixture cancellation in the Cape due to poor weather, the Stellenbosch boys may be a bit rusty in the opening half.
Enterprising captain and scrumhalf Rick Schroeder will be looking to ignite the dazzling Paul Roos backs. Fullback Craig Barry, who has had a splendid season for the visitors, will once again be looking for his forwards to provide him with a surplus of possession, while speedster Tshotsho Mbovana is also a player to watch with his effective running and devastating pace.
Grey, meanwhile, will rely heavily on dynamic front ranker Michael van Vuuren to make a physical impact.
In other schoolboy derby clashes this weekend, DHS host a rampant Glenwood and Bishops face a tricky encounter at rivals Wynberg.

We were very surprised at how nice this is it is bigger then we thought and easy to read and a nice well made item I would recommend this to anybody as a great purchase.........
Happy with the Product
I do realize that you can only customize so much when making things online. I originally wanted to use the other peacock save the date that was almost identical to this one because the peacock part wasn't so big. However I wanted to change the picture of the peacock to a peacock feather and I couldn't do it with that one, so I had to use this one. I wish the peacock part could've been a little smaller, but overall I'm very happy with my product and they did turn out beautiful!
Fantastic Magnet
This product is exactly as shown. Wonderful quality and the picture used turned out great! Got a lot of compliments on the quality of the picture too!!
Adorable Magnets
I ordered these magnets and they were everything that I imagined and more. The magnet that I received looked just like the image I designed. The colors weren't off at all. When you design these what you see is exactly what you will get. I received the magnets earlier than I anticipated.
My card is awesome!! Love it!!
I would recommend this product because of the quality and the ability to customize your card the way YOU want it!!

Sometimes good intentions can turn out wrong. In last weeks column I mentioned Christmas Cards for A recovering American Soldier, to be sent to a medical center. I heard on the National News broadcast the cards cant be delivered without having a persons name. Anyway, the thought was good.
We send sympathy to the family of Geraldine Ligon who was buried last week. She is survived by a daughter Clara Carter of Meridian, two sons Larry Ligon and Wayne Ligon of New Albany and several grand children and great grand-children.
Congratulations to Jeremy and Laurie White on the arrival of a baby boy, November 25. He weighed 8 lb. 2 oz. And was named Reese Edwin. He is welcomed by a 3-year old brother Owen.
Get well wishes to all the sick. Ruth Hardy Wages recently had brain surgery and was in ICU Sunday; Lee Earl Gilliam is in the New Albany Hospital with congestive heart failure; Elizabeth Wilson is in Tupelo Hospital with pneumonia; Amanda Jarvis will be having tonsil surgery Thursday; Lorette Overall, Rickey Bagwells sister, is having chemo treatments.
Earline Hall, Kay Harrison, Amy Bell and Nancy Bell enjoyed a family gathering at the home of Earlines niece, Sarah Garrett, in Memphis Sunday. Sarah is the daughter of Annie Ruth Owens Cappleman of Iuka.
Thanksgiving visitors of the Eugene White family were Earle and Barbara White; David, Shirley and Rebecca White; Jim, Mary Ann, Aaron, Austin and Alan White; Gary and Tracy Darby; and Joey and Jamie White.
Pleasant Ridge Brotherhood members will be preparing fruit baskets at the FLC Sunday at 8:00 A.M. and ask anyone who can to come and assist.
Members of the Blue Mountain College BSU will join other groups Saturday for a mission trip to China. Aaron White form Pleasant Ridge is included. Lets keep them in our prayers.
Last Thursday Betty Smith and I visited Mr. Bliss Eaton in a Ripley Nursing home, where he has lived for several years. For a 101 year old he is doing real well, and was asking about all the people around Pleasant Ridge. He is still walking, but uses a wheel chair to travel the long corridors, (in fact, he went so fast we had a hard time keeping up.) while there we saw Linda Sanford Forrester; MR. Bliss sister, Madge Baggett, who is recovering from a broken hip; and a lady I didnt know, Nora Lee Fryar. During the conversation after finding our my maiden name she remembered my parents, John and Pearl Knowles. Small world! She is a sister to the late Mary Lou Self of Dumas.
Churches are having their Christmas programs and it is sometime hard to decide where to attend. The Childrens Program at Pleasant Ridge Sunday night was real good. Eugene, Voncile and Jeff White; Toy, Gerald and Cloyce Hogue attended at Ingomar where they had family members involved and reported a very nice performance.
A late note! I just received news Ruth Wages is leaving the hospital today, Monday and will be recovering at the home of her sister, Ruby Burks, at Keownville. Best wishes to her.

NEW BOSTON — More details have emerged about the person who was trampled at the New Boston Wal-Mart Thursday evening.
Judy Boggs, who was one of the crew members that responded to the incident for Portsmouth Ambulance, could not divulge too much information due to HIPAA laws.
"The first call came in at 7:56 p.m. that a child had been trampled at Walmart. The crew was on scene at 8:01 p.m.," Boggs said.
When asked how old the child was, Boggs said she was an 11-year-old female. She could not give out the name of the child due to HIPAA laws.
"She was transported to Southern Ohio Medical Center for treatment and I believe she was later released," Boggs said.
Boggs said she could not describe the extent of the child's injuries.
She said a separate crew from Portsmouth Ambulance responded to the New Boston Wal-Mart for another incident Thursday evening.
"There was another patient there we transported also, for not necessarily being trampled, but it was something along those lines. This was an elderly female. The crew was dispatched on that at 8:02 p.m.," Boggs said.
She said the description of the elderly patient could not be given because the crew that responded had not, at that time, turned in their paperwork.
The Daily Times sought comment on the two situations from the New Boston Wal-Mart.
"We cannot discuss that. If you have any questions you would have to go through our home office," a store representative said.
A call placed to Wal-Mart's Bentonville, Ark. headquarters was not immediately returned.
The New Boston Police Department, who responded to the store and confirmed early reports of a trampling victim, was not able to comment at this time.
The Daily Times will continue to update the story as more information becomes available.

Simply but still lovely.
Did not use the magnet for a wedding. Used them for a family gathering at Christmas as a save the date. Customizing the message was simple and easy to do. The end product was very nice and worked well for our future event.
Amazing Wedding Cermony Programs!!
I decided to order programs for the ceremony last minute. I luckily found this website, picked a design that was perfect for my winter / snowflake themed wedding, filled in the template and had my programs in less than a week. They were beautiful and elegant. I received so many compliments.
We were happy with the programs
The image editor was a little tricky to use, but we were totally happy with our finished programs. I wish there had been a little more flexibility in changing the colors, but our finished product was lovely.
Awesome customer service
I was fairly picky on my programs, I should say REALLY picky. I had amazing customer service, they were extremely helpful. I called, chatted, and emailed with them. I wanted to fit a lot of word on my program because I wanted to fit all of my reading and all other information so I made a large request. They did an awesome job. I ordered my save the dates and invitations through them and for any future events I plan on coming back with no hesitation.
Our programs came out perfect and were very easy to personalize

Here's how to keep today's techno kids from
"powering down" the minute they walk into your
Recently I casually observed a mixed-age ministry program in a
small church I visited, and something caught my eye. I noticed
something about the kids that I don't think I'd ever really
before–though I'm sure I'd witnessed the same thing
Five-year-old Kira followed her teacher around the room, toting a
DVD and endlessly imploring the teacher to get the remote so she
could watch her favorite Christian video. Eleven-year-old Maria
fiddled with her iPhone, playing games, texting friends, and
running new apps she'd downloaded, while 8-year-old Jordan played
with his dad's new Flip phone, making goofy videos of the kids and
then replaying them for laughs. Two other kids sat huddled together
at the room's lone computer playing a Christian video game and
lamenting the lack of an Internet connection so they could play
with others online.
So what struck me about this small group of kids? It wasn't the
abundance of media and tech gadgets in a humble ministry. What I
really saw for the first time was how all the kids–from the
youngest to the preteen–were naturally integrating all the
technology at hand into their casual experiences that
We used to say that today's kids were "wired." While this is still
true, we need to add "wireless" and "unplugged" to the mix. Kids
are connected to technology everywhere they are–whether it's at a
home computer or walking down the street texting. Today's kids are
uniquely adept at and equipped for our technological global
existence–much more so than many of us adults leading them.
A conundrum has been developing in public education that's left a
majority of professional educators truly at a loss: They watch as
students, who outside of class quickly master every technological
advance unveiled, walk into their classrooms and glaze over, check
out, or "power down" because the lecture-based style is so outdated
and undeveloped that it's rendering the classroom experience
The common refrain of students who've been interviewed about the
topic is essentially, "I'm bored stiff when I go to class." Many
say they feel they must turn off their brains when they walk into
classes because their teachers don't understand how they learn
best. Students today are rejecting the lecture-based classroom. "My
teachers just talk and talk and talk," kids say. "It's not

We had been involved with this industry for many, many years and had absolutely no interest in the business side of it; but, because Tom is the most loyal friend anyone could ever have, we signed up on one case of MonaVie Active and no AutoShip. We believed we would finish the case of juice and that would be the end of it. Wow! We had no idea that this one case was the beginning of the most incredible journey and amazing friendships.
"For almost a year, we kept waiting for the computers to go down, for the site to quit working, for us not to get paid on time, and for the company to go under. That had been our experience in the past. We can't begin to tell you the excitement we felt when we finally realized that the MonaVie leadership was strong and that they were forward thinking for our benefit and they cared what their distributors thought. Dallin and his team never cease to amaze us. We feel so blessed to have the honor of being part of this company.
"The team we have built with MonaVie has learned to work together as a team and utilize each other's strengths. The friendships that have come out of this journey will last forever, and our children, Brandon and Erica, have also learned about hard work, teamwork, and sacrifice. The reason for our family's success is an upline and leadership that continues to gain knowledge and progress towards the future. It's also because of a downline that has been willing to unselfishly do whatever it takes to help each other accomplish their goals and dreams. We have learned that you not only lean on your upline, you can also learn from your team that is in the trenches with you. That daily activity has been our biggest blessing.
"When our family hit Gold, we learned a very valuable lesson. We had decided to share the products with everyone we knew just so we could get on this cruise. We believed that this wasn't really the way we build the business, but it would get us on the cruise (silly us). What we really found out was that by sharing the product with people that were on our 'chicken list,' many didn't know what we did and many didn't know anything about MonaVie.
"After they purchased to help us, they loved the product and we now have friends and new friends who want to be sponsored and build their own businesses, or who want to become customers and receive MonaVie on a monthly basis. What started as a goal ended with learning that this is the correct way to build our business. All the things we have been learning since we started with MonaVie (make a list, contact, set a date, etc.) were exactly what we did to make it to Gold and get on this cruise. Now, it is so much easier to share because we aren't scared to talk to people anymore.
"Going on this cruise is going to be such a blessing because we are going to get to spend time with our dear, dear friends (all seven couples) who made it with us. It has also been a great lesson for our children because they see that the reward equals the sacrifice. What a blessing!"

Bareboating is chartering without a captain; you're in command of your own vessel. With a regular charter, a hired captain –- for an additional fee -- comes with the boat. Depending on your qualifications, each has its advantages.
Recently, my husband and I with two other couples bareboated out of Bas-de-Fort, Guadeloupe. The boat was luxurious and brand-spanking-new. From Guadeloupe, we sailed to Antigua for the world renowned Antigua Race Week.
We returned to Antigua for the final races and then headed south to Guadeloupe's outer islands, Les Saintes. The main town, Terre Haute, is a mini St. Barts. Other than the French families and sailors who visit, it's unknown to most. Among all of us, this was our favorite spot.
There are several charter companies to choose from. After fully investigating the top three, we decided on Sunsail, based in Annapolis, Maryland. They had the best price for the same size catamaran as the other companies.
Catamarans have become a popular choice in the chartering world due to the spaciousness, stability and privacy that a monohull doesn't offer. They offer bountiful creature comforts with a deck-level saloon and a roomy cockpit.
We chose a 41-foot Lagoon catamaran for the seven-day excursion. Each of the two hulls has two full staterooms, and private heads (bathrooms). The boat easily sleeps eight people. Bareboating with three or four couples at approximately $6000.00 during Reef Week makes it an affordable trip. Other than owning your own boat, how else can you flit from one island to the next, on your own time?
Depending on your needs, there's a cat for every wallet. Or, if you prefer a monohull for its natural sailing abilities, this is a good option as well.
In addition, there are other expenditures: customs fees on each island, dockage, water, electricity, fuel and, of course, provisioning the boat. However, anchoring in a snug harbor is free. Most importantly, for a modest fee, optional insurance is offered for each individual; pay it and you'll have peace of mind.
Sunsail provides snorkeling gear and kayaks at no extra charge. We discovered that the snorkeling gear was well-used; the masks leaked and it was difficult to find a pair of fins that fit well. I would recommend bringing your own snorkeling gear.
The sit-down kayaks provided are basic; unless you're a die-hard kayaker, they serve their purpose. Windsurfers can be rented by the week through Sunsail's affiliation with local rental shops; and can be stored on the bow of the boat. Our one-week windsurfer rental in Guadeloupe cost $230 euros ($294US).
Our charter began at 6 p.m. on a Sunday. In order for the trip to get off to a good start, it's judicious for the entire crew to arrive at their given destination at least a day in advance. Arriving on the first official day of the charter is not realistic; it's asking for problems that are avoidable.
Also, keep in mind that someone has to provision the boat. Sunsail offers to provision the boat, but it's much more expensive than if you did it yourself. They will send a checklist of grocery items with marked-up prices. Unless money is of no concern, make the check marks and send it back to them.
Last, but not least, the most important aspect of the trip is choosing people very carefully for the charter. I can't stress this enough; it is paramount in order to have a fun and relaxing trip. For a solid week, you'll be in close quarters with no escape. No pun intended, but if you're not all on the same wavelength, your week in paradise will become stormy rather quickly.

Two of South Africa's schoolboy powerhouses, Affies and Grey Bloem, were victorius in their season openers against Diamantveld and Duineveld respectively.
Affies and Grey Bloem travelled to Kimberley to kick off their 2012 campaigns against two of the Northern Cape's top teams.
Affies, who were captained by SA Schools prop Pierre Schoeman, managed a 24-10 win against Diamantveld. The boys from Pretoria are expected to be a major threat this season as they have retained most of their 1st XV players from last year.
Grey Bloem, who enter a new era with only three 1st XV players from 2011, downed Duineveld 17-6 after trailing 3-0 at the break. The visitors scored three second half tries to seal the win.
Also in Kimberley, Noord-Kaap (who enjoyed an unbeaten 2011 which included a win over Affies) dominated Sentraal with a 76-0 trashing.
On the east coast, there were some exciting clashes and close results between the big KZN schools. Maritzburg College started their year with a 43-6 drubbing of Northwood. Glenwood edged Michaelhouse 14-13, after leading 11-10 at half-time. Kearsney and Westville Boys' were also successful in their first outings against George Campbell (17-12) and Hilton College (16-14) respectively.
Other big results saw KES suffer a 21-17 upset against Pretoria Boys' at home, Waterkloof thumped Florida 42-22, while there were resounding wins for Boland Landbou and Outeniqua.

Like chinos, but shorter, chino shorts can be worn with a shirt and shoes (yes, actual leather shoes) when it gets hot. Or, if that's a bit of a stretch, put them on with a v-neck T-shirt and some Vans. Easy. This summer, look out for new, brighter colours like burnt orange and deep indigo.

NBC has confirmed that their musical drama Smash has been officially cancelled. There won't be a third season.
The news certainly doesn't come as a surprise. Everyone but the most optimistic viewers assumed that the series was already done.
Smash premiered very well last season when it followed The Voice. Despite the strong lead-in, the ratings declined as the first season wore on.
NBC renewed it anyway with an order for 18 installments. They no doubt regretted that move when season two debuted to poor numbers. The ratings got worse and they chose to burn off the remaining episodes on Saturday nights, rather than simply pull the show off the air.
The last two episodes of Smash are scheduled to air on Sunday, May 26th. Hopefully the producers saw the writing on the wall soon enough and wrapped up the ongoing storylines.
What do you think? Did you like Smash? Are you sorry that the series was cancelled?

The BUAV Save our Monkeys campaign is launching an eye catching advert as part of its campaign to raise awareness about the Pre-Clinical Research Bill which, if adopted, will promote the practice of animal experimentation in Mauritius. The Bill is due to be presented to the Parliament.
The advert will appear in the weekend editions of the Le Defi and 5 Plus newspapers, highlighting the 'Save our Monkeys' campaign and the likely impact the legislation will have for animals; in particular the country's population of long-tailed macaque which is likely to be the main species used in research facilities in Mauritius.
The advert features a picture of a distressed monkey inside a laboratory with the message: 'If the Government has its way, this could be happening to monkeys here in Mauritius.'
Support for the BUAV's 'Save Our Monkeys' campaign is growing rapidly in Mauritius and globally, and this month the organisation wrote to each Member of Parliament to bring to their attention the new threat facing the monkeys of Mauritius.
BUAV Chief Executive Michelle Thew stated: 'There is already growing national and international awareness and concern surrounding the breeding and export of monkeys from Mauritius. The establishment of primate testing facilities in Mauritius will simply encourage further use of these animals. If the pre-clinical research bill is implemented, this will not only mean the infliction of additional suffering for the primates in Mauritius as they will now be subjected to research and testing, it will also reflect negatively and will have a detrimental impact on Mauritius's image abroad.'
The Save our Monkeys campaign will continue to raise awareness with the public and politicians and is encouraging Mauritians to sign two petitions: Save our Monkeys: http://bit.ly/StopTheTrade and Say No to Animal Experiments in Mauritius: http://bit.ly/SayNoMauritius

The photograph preserves a happier moment during the Great Depression.
Rendered in sepia, Miss Elnora Rush is dressed up for a social occasion and wears a large corsage. In faded ink on the matte, browned with age, is written, "Elnora, 1st Yr Teaching."
Even now, nearly eight decades later, Mrs. Elnora Rush Hawkins displays the sense of vitality captured in the photograph. On Sunday, she will celebrate a century of life, having seen some of the worst and best things it has to offer.
Hawkins was born in the central Mississippi city of Starkville, September 15, 1913. "It was miserable growing up there," she says. In fact, it was so miserable she says they called the state, "Miserable-sippi."
But, she remembers her family life was pleasant. "I had a lovely child-life," she states. Her parents — her father was a carpenter and her mother a housewife — were strict disciplinarians. "They taught us right from wrong, to obey and to respect older people." It was "a nice family life."
She graduated from Oktibbeha County Training School and went straight to college. Hawkins wanted to be a teacher from the get go and enrolled in Rust College in Holly Springs, Miss. Rust College, a historically black college, is where she met her future husband, Joseph Hawkins on campus.
After graduating from Rust with a bachelors degree in elementary education, it was in Clarksdale, Miss. where Hawkins was photographed in a party dress during her first year. She began her teaching career in earnest there at the Coahoma County Agricultural School, where she taught elementary grades.
Bolstered by summer teacher training at Fisk University in Nashville, Tenn. and Atlanta University, Hawkins would teach for more than forty years.
Her husband. Joseph Hawkins, began his career educating African-American army recruits during World War II. Once the war ended, he segued into teaching local African-American veterans returning from the war. Transitioning into civilian life, he served as the principal of Kelley Grammar School, where his wife taught, later moving to East Depot High School where he served as principal for a number of years.
"He didn't take anything; he didn't play," says Pattie Hawkins, his daughter in law. She said that years later students would approach him say that they wouldn't have made it in life if not for the discipline he instilled. Elnora Hawkins taught at Kelley Grammar for a few years under her husband's stern principal-ship before she left for East Depot Elementary.
Elnora Hawkins remained at East Depot Elementary until she retired in 1972. She was there to see the integration of the schools in 1970 which she said, "went smoothly." During integration, her husband was transferred to LaGrange High School where he was assistant principal until he retired in 1979. Respect for him in the community remained for many years and he was honored as one of the grand marshals of the local Christmas parade in 1992.
Following her motto of "God loves you and I do, too," Mrs. Hawkins was hardly slowed by retirement. She volunteered at the hospital eventually being honored for providing 2,000 hours of service. She's intensely proud of the pins she's been given honoring her service.
Her church, Warren Temple United Methodist Church, has also been on the receiving end of Mrs. Hawkins' time and that's where the celebration of her century of life will be held on Sunday afternoon, September 15, at 1:30 p.m. All those who have known Mrs. Hawkins are invited to attend.
Pattie Hawkins notes that her mother-in-law was driving until about six months ago, "her family had to tell her to stop. Thank goodness the car needed a battery." Elnora Hawkins' battery, though slowed a bit by age, still keeps going.

In 1705 Edmond Halley predicted, using Newton's laws of motion, that the comet seen in 1531, 1607 and 1682 again in 1758. The comet returned as predicted, and later it was named in his honor.
The Hale-Bopp is a periodic comet that returns every 3000 years and came to Earth in 1997, causing great expectation. Alan Hale in New Mexico and, independently, Thomas Bopp of Arizona, discovered the comet that now bears the name of both. Soon after the discovery became clear that the comet could be brighter in recent years.
