I love this helmet. It is adjustable but it does seem to be on the big size. that being said, I have a smaller size M head and this is a one size fits all helmet so just keep that in mind.

Tired of her life as a chorus girl in Las Vegas, Michelle Simms (Sutton Foster) reluctantly agrees to marry Hubbell Flowers (Alan Ruck) on a whim. He loves her dearly and promises to give her a better life, away from The Strip.
Hubbell brings her to his small hometown, where she is not exactly greeted with open arms. Hubbell's overbearing mother, Fanny (Kelly Bishop), is appalled by the news of their marriage, and frowns on the idea of Michelle moving in with them. Fanny later hosts a wedding reception, where Michelle meets the colorful locals and they all seem to despise her.
The only people that Michelle connects with are Fanny's ballet students, particularly Bettina "Boo" Jordan (Kaitlyn Jenkins), Ginny Thompson (Bailey Buntain), Melanie Segal (Emma Dumont), and Sasha Torres (Julia Goldani Telles). They're all very impressed with Michelle's real world dance experience. Boo takes Michelle's advice on auditioning to heart, and feels inspired to try out for a prestigious local performance.
Things are starting to look up for Michelle but then, Hubbell is suddenly killed in a car accident. As a result, she's left feeling alone and very unsure about her future.

Comments about Niner RIP9 Rockshox Revelation RCT Combo:
I built a Niner EMD9 through JensonUSA last year and raced it extensively in Korea - I am a believer in 29ers. I really love the geometry that Niner Bikes offers and I wanted to upgrade to 29 inch trail bike to replace my 26er.
The RIP9 is everything the Blog on MTBR says it is; hands down - no question. Very efficient on the climb and very capable on the descend.
The RockShox Revelation RCT3 fork surprised me - I would not have necessarily chosen it first; but, it is plush when you want plush and tight when you need tight and very tune-able. Great fork! I will look to RockShox for my next build.
I love this bike - and this is a great deal. You won't regret it.

BAYBORO – Josiah Simmons wasn't thrown into an easy situation.
With a sudden injury to starting quarterback NaQuan Gibbs, Simmons was summoned into Pamlico's Oct. 25 loss to Lejeune.
Despite a couple mistakes in that game, the Hurricanes' sophomore has flourished in a relief role.
The backup quarterback guided his team to victories over Jones Senior and Southside to conclude the regular-season.
"The kids know he can play, they see it in practice," said Pamlico coach Kevin Yost. "He is a playmaker and I've been impressed in his growth as far as becoming a quarterback."
The Hurricanes (7-4) open the 1A state playoffs against Southside at 7:30 p.m. on Friday with Simmons under center.
He's thrown for 307 yards and five touchdowns, including three scores in last Friday's 33-12 win over Southside.
Simmons has 210 rushing yards and has 276 receiving yards.
"I thought I was going to have to use my feet most of the time. Ever since coach told me to stay in the pocket, I've been making great throws," Simmons said.
"I've been more comfortable standing in the pocket and making passes."
Simmons said his teammates have rallied around him to make him feel more comfortable in his new position.
"They told me to keep my head up, don't worry about the negative stuff, and to go make plays with my feet and throwing," Simmons said.
"I try to score every time I am on the field, and if I am in a bad situation, I just try to make myself better."
The Hurricanes will play in a playoff game for the first time since 2008, and host a postseason game for the first time since 2007.
"All I wanted was for them to get rewarded for their hard work," Yost said. "I've never had a team that's worked this hard. From February to now, they've worked extremely hard and now they are getting rewarded for what they've done."
Pamlico finished second in the Coastal Plains Conference behind Lejeune, and will have an opportunity to play at home twice in Bayboro. If the Hurricanes prevail on Friday, they would host either Northampton County (8-3) or Columbia (5-6).
"To see the community kind of rally around this, it's exciting to them," Yost said. "I tell the kids all the time that they are writing history, that they are putting their mark on Pamlico history."
Southside (3-8) is a run-first team, led by the leg of Donshae Miller, Isaac Harrell and John Sullivan.
"I think it is going to be a dogfight," Yost said. "It's win or go home. We've been telling our guys that everybody is 0-0 and (Southside) is going to come in looking to fix their problems they had and we are going to get their best shot."
Pamlico, which had just one win in each of the past two seasons, has a slew of talented playmakers, including Tarik Davis (602 rushing yards), Tony Credle (530 rushing yards), Cameron Moore (426 receiving yards, 10 TDs) and Will Becton (242 receiving yards).
The strength on defense lies with Arthur Randle (seven sacks), Credle (83 tackles) and Connor Hough (125 tackles).
"The energy has been really high. I think it's one of the most energetic weeks we've had," Yost said. "The guys are excited to get out there and play football.
"They are not ready for this thing to end yet."

Recently, we told you about Baby, an adorable pup who has been in our care for more than a year and a half. This sweet dog, a victim of animal cruelty, has come a long way since we first met her, and she's still waiting to find a loving home.
In July 2012, a Good Samaritan found Baby tied to a tree, abandoned in the summer heat. Fortunately, they contacted the ASPCA, and Baby began her road to recovery that day at the ASPCA Animal Hospital.
Dr. Bonnie Wong, the ASPCA veterinarian who treated Baby, recalls that she had a severe neck wound consistent with having a chain embedded in her neck for a long period of time. Baby's body was in poor condition; she had a skin infection and scars on her face where it appeared other dogs had attacked her. After extensive treatment, including repetitive wound care and antibiotic treatments for her skin, Baby's condition improved and she was ready for adoption.
Since then, Baby has waited and waited for someone to take her home. In the time she's spent at our Adoption Center, our staff has grown immensely fond of this "oversized lap dog." She is incredibly friendly and loyal, and we can't wait until she has a permanent place to call home.
If you're interested adopting Baby, please call our Adoptions department in New York City at (212) 876-7700 ext. 4120. To learn more about Baby, please visit her page.
Baby, you are a brave sweetheart and you look so happy and handsome in your beautiful winter sweater. I hope a wonderful person comes along very soon to give you a loving, safe, fun-filled new home.
You are very cute ...in this winter dress
You're right. Baby doesn't look "handsome." SHE looks pretty and downright cute in her winter dress.
Oh I am sending such prayers for you, to come such a long way to have it be at a stand still. Somebody please take this poor baby and show her the love she deserves... Can you post her pic everywhere to get her out there?
If I didn't live half the nation away, i'd get this lovely lady in a heartbeat!
There are ways to transport animals that are inexpensive and sometimes even free...please don't let distance be a deterrent...I just adopted a cat from Florida and live in NYC...I was able to have my cat transported very inexpensively...it can be done
Wish I culd rescue everyone from the cruel people in this world we live in. I live too far away but my prayers are with her that she finds a home .Thank You for bringing her back to life .
There are dog lovers all over the country that will make this happen via tag-team transports. My daughter often does this with a number of people meeting up at various points; some drive only 50 miles or so to the first hand off; others who are willing will do more. Just takes a little coordinating. So, if you really want the dog, then try to set something up. FB is a good start.

Agree. Sadly.
LeBron, right now, is on a whole 'nother level.
Well Lebron is playing his 10th , Kobe his 17th ... I don't think it's "sad" , it's just normal ...
Kobe has a case of being the 3rd best player in the league in his 17th season (definetely top 5) is AMAZING and maybe unprecedented ( only Kareem ... maybe , I didn't witness this era so can't tell)
Very true. Lebron is playing great. He has even found that Jumper that I was positive he would never find but I wouldn't be sad that Kobe may finally have taken a step back in the "best in game" race. That being said, I think we would all be foolish to think that if Kobe wanted to take over the game he could. I think we mis-interpret the kobe "Iso" as its just trying to get him going. I think its Kobe still sticking with the plan but teammates have to move without the ball. In the end, at his 17th season the sports media still has to try and descredit what he does to make others look better. That says a lot in my book.

The strategy worked, and Integrity Staffing has added 8,951 employees in the last three years alone, for a total of approximately 30,000 employees at the end of 2009. The company also put more focus on potential customers by adding a Career Transitions business line, which provides coaching services to job seekers.

This Applebee's franchiser, which owns and operates more than 200 restaurants across the U.S., has used the recession to be much choosier when it comes to hiring. Apple American Group's careful screening and a focus on team-building has yielded a retention rate that, according to Jim Gamelin, a senior vice president at the company, "significantly outperforms industry norms."

iQor, a business process outsourcing company, uses technology to streamline the hiring process.

Jobs added between 2006 and 2009: 3,700
CornerStone Staffing Solutions, another staffing firm, has adapted its hiring practices in order to continue growing during the recession. According to Larry James, a managing director, the company focused on staffing in industries that were somewhat recession proof, such as food services. The business has been adding 100 workers a week to its payroll, says James. The company expects to see W-2s increase by 3,000 or more in the coming year.
Jobs added between 2006 and 2009: 3,500
Ovations Food Services manages food service operations for stadiums, ballparks, and convention centers. Karen Muros, the company's vice president of human resources, says much of the company's hiring surge, which amounts to approximately 3,500 new hires in the past three years, is a result of a commitment to assuring compliance at their facilities. This has created a need to add more supervisors to their management structure, increase training positions, HR positions, and support managers, as well as create internal audit positions to provide checks and balances, says Muros.
Jobs added between 2006 and 2009: 3,401
In the last two years Towne Park, a provider of valet parking and concierge services for more than 300 properties nationwide, has tripled in size with its staff, acquiring two other companies in its industry.

According to George Scileppi, a projects director, the company anticipates hiring an additional 1,000 call center representatives globally by the end of 2010. Scileppi attributes much of this hiring to a shift in the company's business model, from an outbound-centric sales force to an inbound support model.
Jobs added between 2006 and 2009: 2,800
Last year was the biggest overall growth year in the history of New Breed Logistics, a third-party logistics company that helps streamline complex logistics operations at other organizations. The growth allowed the company to build out its executive team, and to hire middle managers and directors. Joe Hauck, vice president of sales, marketing, and communications, estimates that new hires now account for approximately 10 percent of the overall company employee count, which stands at 7,000.

Orhan Pamuk: Other Colors, Other Stories
At a time when people speak of an clash of civilizations between East and West, a time when national identity, history, and culture are called into question, a time when religion and politics seem as intertwined as ever, a time when even the boundaries of Europe are being debated, literature's fictions can be as powerful as the dutifully reported facts of current events. In a career spanning over three decades, author Orhan Pamuk has established himself as the preeminent author of his native Turkey. His writings have spawned controversy and debate, with repercussions in the world of politics and culture as well as in the world of literature. Pamuk's novels delve deep into his own personal history as well as issues of family, Turkish national history and identity, and the ever-present tension between secular Western culture and religion. Despite these esoteric themes, Pamuk's characters are bursting with verve, flaws, and an undeniable humanity that shines through their doubts and imperfections. It is no coincidence that Pamuk is regarded as one of the most astute and incisive observers of his country's character.
Born in 1952, Pamuk was raised in an affluent, Westernized neighborhood of Istanbul and attended private schools in the area. During his childhood and teenage years, he dreamed of being a painter, but decided at age 22 to devote his life to writing. His first novel, Cevdet Bey and Sons (1982), won a national prize for unpublished novels before it even went to press. Pamuk spent the late 1980s as a resident scholar at Columbia University, and has continued his relationship with that school. Later novels such as The Black Book (1990), My Name is Red (1998), and Snow (2002) brought him increasing acclaim, and in 2006 Pamuk was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature for Istanbul. In its citation, the Nobel committee commended Pamuk, saying: "in the quest for the melancholic soul of his native city [he] has discovered new symbols for the clash and interlacing of cultures." The Athenaeum is truly honored to have a guest of such distinction and influence.
Orhan Pamuk's visit to CMC is jointly sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum.

Thank you Sam!
Letter to a Christian Nation was released yesterday on my 25th birthday.
Sam has done it. He has armed the collective, the rational minds out there in the world with a barrage of conversational missles to launch at those that preach love and practice exclusion, etc.
So while the fragile minds of religion have "faith" to fall back on, those in the real, rational world can now lay claim to Sam's book anytime religious noise-makers choose to end a conversation for making them feel "uncomfortable".
I really think its time to take your message to some sort of documentary-style movie.

But last time I checked, no one in this forum has threatened to commit an 'honour killing'(Did you mean honor killing?).
I distinctly remember something you considered to be threat to your life, you whined about it several times in several different areas. I considered it a humorous image of shit for brains dribbling down a wall. I have reconsidered my position and, were it to occur, the act of throwing you against the wall would meet my definition of an honour killing - with or without a u.
So do you also propose to throw me against a wall, like Salt Creek has, or are you simply pretending to be an atheist fundamentalist?

Vision Quest
Journey to Self through Connection with Nature
Friday, Aug 26, 2011, 4:00 PM
Sunday, Aug 28, 2011, 4:00 PM (All times are local to the event.)
- Presenter

Connection with self, nature, and others are three of our deepest longings. Yet, the challenges and busyness of everyday life can leave us feeling rushed and disconnected.
Stepping away from distractions and long-held patterns allows us to explore the deep connections that help nurture, heal and inspire us. Witnessing nature awakens body, mind and spirit, and offers a profound experience of healing. This healing becomes a transformational experience--a return to our natural rhythm and our authentic self.
Every Vision Quest is an act of courage and recommitment to a life-affirming path. This weekend retreat offers a unique opportunity to spend 2 nights on the land, experiencing a centuries-old ritual of self discovery and renewal.
"Participating in a Vision Quest re-connects us to our essence, to our rhythm and to nature itself. Many cultures include this practice for health, the balancing of mental, emotional, physical and spiritual quadrants, and renewal of connection to self, other, and collective." -- Nancy Feehan
Nancy Feehan is a Marriage and Family Therapist, Adjunct Faculty Professor in the Counseling Psychology Department at USF, workshop leader, and a consultant trained in cross-cultural healing and wisdom. Nancy was an assistant to Dr. Angeles Arrien in the Four Fold Way and was the Vision Quest Manager for 16 years. She has lived in a rural community on the Sonoma Coast for 32 years and brings the deep connection to nature and the land to her work.
Participants in this retreat will stay onsite, camping on the land. For those unable to camp, lodging in a single or shared room is available at additional cost. Participants unable to fast on Saturday should choose the Registration Fee that includes 6 meals.

I am a brand new member of this forum, and, incidentally, I hope this is not one of those forums where the members go back and forth at each other with name-calling, insults, etc.
Anyway, I have lost the beliefs that were instilled in me by family and church as a boy, and consider myself an atheist. I have for the most part stopped reading a lot of the "Why I lost my faith" literature. For one thing, it is like preaching to the choir for me.
I have read too many comments from Christians who refer to the atheist movement, or philosophy, etc. One recent letter said that the "Atheist Movement" has failed, and that Christians were the real intellectuals. Why, I don't know. Do you consider atheism in the sense of a "movement"?
I believe Sam Harris said that he did not really like the label Atheist - why should I give myself a name because I don't believe in something? - or something like that.
Any thoughts on this matter - is it necessary to call oneself an "atheist"? Of course, when someone asks about your beliefs, maybe atheist is an easy answer.
Thank you for your comments!!

VANDENBERG AFB, CALIF. - The first stage of the Delta II launch vehicle for the Gravity Probe B experiment is lifted up the mobile service tower on Space Launch Complex 2, Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif. The Gravity Probe B will launch a payload of four gyroscopes into low-Earth polar orbit to test two extraordinary predictions of Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity: the geodetic effect (how space and time are warped by the presence of the Earth) and frame dragging (how Earth's rotation drags space and time around with it). Once in orbit, for 18 months each gyroscope's spin axis will be monitored as it travels through local spacetime, observing and measuring these effects. The experiment was developed by Stanford University, Lockheed Martin and NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. The targeted launch date is Dec. 6, 2003. Credit: NASA

The Price of Love and Other Stories
The Price of Love and Other Stories (Paperback)
Related Editions
From the New York Times bestselling author comes a riveting collection of short fiction, marked by the piercing psychological insight and brilliant characterization that are hallmarks of his acclaimed novels.
Ever since the publication of his first mystery featuring Detective Inspector Alan Banks, Peter Robinson has been steadily building a reputation for compulsively readable and perceptive novels that probe the dark side of human nature. Plumbing the territory that his work has so successfully staked, The Price of Love and Other Stories includes two novellas and several stories featuring the Yorkshire policeman at his finest. In these stories, the disparate motives that move humans to harm one another, from love and jealousy to greed and despair, are all explored with fascinating depth.
About the Author
Peter Robinson's award-winning novels have been named a Best-Book-of-the-Year by Publishers Weekly, a Notable Book by the New York Times, and a Page-Turner-of-the-Week by People magazine. Robinson was born and raised in Yorkshire, but has lived in North America for more than twenty-five years. He now divides his time between North America and the U.K.
Praise for The Price of Love and Other Stories…
"Outstanding story collection....Banks fans will be delighted....An excellent introduction to one of the best voices in contemporary crime fiction."
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"This collection distinguishes itself from recent crime anthologies....The final novella is a deeply satisfying procedural."
-Library Journal
"The writing is, as always with Robinson, colorful and evocative, and the characters are brilliant in their unpersonable way. This book is a must for Peter Robinson completists, of course, but also for anyone who appreciates good stories well told."

First and foremost, the Krogen 58' is a home away from home, even a primary home, as the case could be. Every comfort has been provided. There's never the need to leave the nest to travel - you just take it with you, practically anywhere in the world you can find a fathom (or less) of water.
The 58' is as perfectly suited for those new to the cruising world as it is for "old salts". She's solid and sure in the open ocean, with systems chosen for their reliability and simplicity of operation. The Krogen 58' could just as capably take you from Annapolis to Athens, as from Nantucket to Newport. Whatever the destination, this capable trawler yachts is ready to go and is truly, at home on any sea.

The RedHawks (0-2) would rebound from being no-hit against the Hoosiers (4-3) in the opener to putting up 12 hits against Georgia Tech (7-0). They would blast three home runs in the contest, including a career-high two from junior catcher Kayla Ledbetter.
In the nightcap against the Yellow Jackets, the RedHawks would strike first with three runs in the top of the second inning. Allie Larrabee led off the frame with a walk. Jenna Modic moved her over to second on a sacrifice bunt. Shanyn McIntyre then sent a shot over the left field wall to put Miami up, 2-0. Brandi Hernandez followed with a walk and was sacrificed to second base by Kylie McChensey. Kirstie Fehrenbach reached on an error by the shortstop. That moved Hernandez up to third. Fehrenbach would get caught in a rundown, but before she was tagged out, Hernandez came home to score to make it 3-0.
Georgia Tech got its offense going in the bottom of the second when it scored three runs off of Modic to tie the score. Miami went back in front in the top of third when Larrabee singled home Tiyona Marshall, but the Yellow Jackets broke the game open with six runs in the bottom of the frame off of Modic and Paige Myers to make it 9-4.
Myers would settle down after that, allowing only one run the rest of the way. The RedHawks began their comeback attempt in the top of the fifth when Ledbetter homered over the center field wall to bring home herself and Kristy Arbour. Trailing 10-6 in the top of the sixth, Ledbetter would hit a shot over the left field wall, bringing her and Arbour home again. Fehrenbach hit a single in the top of the seventh, but Miami was unable to bring score her as it fell, 10-8.
Ledbetter finished the nightcap 3-for-4 with four RBI and two runs scored. McIntyre was 3-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored.
It was a tough start in the opener as Indiana tagged Miami for seven runs in the top of the first. Myers started the game, but was hurt by two RedHawk errors that caused all but one of the runs to be unearned, along with six walks. Megan Mattera came in to relieve her and kept the Hoosiers off the board until the top of the fifth when they scored three runs to create a run-rule victory.
The RedHawks were unable to get their offense going as Hoosier pitcher Meaghan Murphy kept them without a hit in the five innings. Miami managed only three baserunners, with Ledbetter drawing a pair of walks.
The RedHawks continue play at the Georgia Tech Classic with two games on Saturday. Miami starts with a rematch against 24th-ranked Georgia Tech at 3:30 p.m. It will then take on Marshall at 5:30 p.m.

Template framework
The template framework in Groovy consists of a TemplateEngine abstract base class that engines must
implement and a Template interface that the resulting templates they generate must implement.
Included with Groovy is the SimpleTemplateEngine that allows you to use JSP-like scriptlets (see example below), script, and EL expressions in your template in order to generate parametrized text. Here is an example of using the system:
Though its possible to plug in any kind of template engine dialect, we can share the same API to invoke templates. e.g. we could create a Velocity / FreeMarker flavour TemplateEngine implemenation which could reuse GPath and auto-recompile to bytecode.
Using TemplateServlet to serve single JSP-like HTML files
Here is a simple example helloworld.html file which is not validating and does not have an
head element. But it demonstrates, how to let Groovy compile and serve your HTML files to web clients. The tag syntax close to JSP and should be easy to read:
The first Groovy block - a for loop - spans the
HelloWorld! text. Guess what happens? And the second Groovy statement prints the servlet's session id - if there is a session avaiable. The variable
session is one of some default bound keys. More details reveals the documentation of
Here is some sample code using http://jetty.mortbay.orgs servlet container. Just get the latest Jetty jar and put this excerpt in a main method, organize the imports and start! Note, that the servlet handler also knows how to serve
*.groovy files and supports dumping:
Here is a similiar web.xml example.

"I got involved in the rally because I feel very passionately that fracking is a risk to West Virginia, said Fiona Druge, one of the rally's organizers, WBOY.com of West Virginia reported.
CNN reported Monday that thousands, gathering at the West Lawn of the Capitol, showed a unified front against the controversial drilling technique for natural gas, that many say is a danger to underground water reserves.
John Krohn, a spokesman for Energy in Depth, which supports fracking, said police told them the crowd numbered about 1,500.
He said, "it seems there is a significant lack of support to limit this technology that is supporting the U.S. economy, creating millions of jobs and is enabling the U.S. to lead the world in carbon reductions."
Protesters for the weekend rally traveled from North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico, Ohio, North Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Vermont, Indiana, Illinois, New Jersey, California, and likely more, CNN reported.
"I've seen the effects. I've grown up with the effects. This started when I was in 6th grade and I just now graduated high school. I feel it's important I share the harmful effects that happened to me personally," said Kelly Humphreys, one of the speakers.
Her father, Ricky Humphreys, said the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection granted permits for four wells on his property, despite his opposition to the drilling process.
"My opposition was overshadowed," he said.

- Customizing your Jetty configuration
- Overview
- Examples
Starting up Jetty
- jetty-runner.jar - fast and easy way to run your webapp, without needing to install and administer a jetty distro. Run it using
java -jar jetty-runner.jar webappcontext. Further instructions can be found in the blog entry linked to above.
- start.jar - start from within your Jetty installation. Run it using
java -jar start.jar configuration files
- embed Jetty into your application
- as a distribution package (RPM, .deb)
- Maven Jetty Plugin
Starting with Jetty using
start.jar and
These instructions assume that you have installed Jetty, although the configuration examples provided are applicable to anywhere you pass in a
jetty.xml file.
etc/jetty.xml is the default configuration file for Jetty. It demonstrates several basic functions, and can be used as the basis for your own configuration. To immediately start up Jetty and begin looking around, go to $JETTY_HOME and run this command:
That starts up Jetty and applies the configuration specified in
etc/jetty.xml. You can then view the page by visiting http://localhost:8080/.
There are several additional options that can be set on the command line when using the supplied

To use these, do
More information about starting and stopping Jetty can be found in Running Jetty-6.1.x.
Customizing your Jetty configuration
etc/jetty.xml sets reasonable defaults, but you will want to customize Jetty to fit your needs. This section takes you through configuring Jetty using an XML file. Most examples will be based from the jetty.xml file, but there are also additional examples for several common use cases.
Configuration file
A server configuration file will look something like this:
Configuration file breakdown
Doctype (required)
All tags and elements declared inside
jetty.xml will be pointing to this resource,
configure.dtd. This means that only tags and elements based from this data type file will be valid .
Server (required)
org.mortbay.jetty.Server is the main class for the Jetty HTTP server. It is the first instance called when you run the server. It aggregates Connectors (HTTP request receivers) and request Handlers. The server is itself a handler and a ThreadPool. Connectors use the ThreadPool methods to run jobs that will eventually call the handle method.
Connectors (required)
Implementations of the org.mortbay.jetty.Connector interface provide connectors for the HTTP protocol. It is here that you set the ports that Jetty will listen on for incoming connections.
Handlers (required)
Handlers process inbound requests. There is a handler which services web applications called org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext. If you don't wish to use a full-blown application but just want to serve static content and maybe some servlets, then you can use a ContextHandler and only configure those services you require. The list of handlers that are defined for a Server is set by the following call:
ThreadPool (optional)
The ThreadPool class avoids the expense of thread creation by pooling threads for reuse after their run methods exit. If the maximum pool size is reached, jobs wait for a free thread. By default there is no maximum pool size. Idle threads timeout and terminate until the minimum number of threads are running. Configuring the ThreadPool is optional, because the server falls back upon defaults. However, you may wish to customize the thread pool to better fit your application. Example:
Security Realm (optional)
If you want to use authentication and authorisation, then you need to define a Security realm. There is no limit to the number or types of realms that you can define for a Server. The following example sets up a security realm that is populated by the etc/realm.properties file:
For a more detailed explanation of the default settings, see the jetty.xml walkthrough. The Syntax Reference explains the syntax for individual elements.
All examples assume that you are in
$JETTY_HOME, and that the configuration file below is saved under
Barebones Static Webapp Deployment
Below is the bare minimum required to start up the Jetty server and start serving up standard web applications. This will listen for connections on port 8080, and serve up any webapps placed under the
$JETTY_HOME/webapps folder:
Start up Jetty with this command:
View your webapplications at http://localhost:8080/webappfolder/. If you have no webapp defined for the root context ("/"), visiting http://localhost:8080/ will give you a normal 404 page.
Static Webapp Deployment, version 2
Here is a slightly more advanced version of the above:
As before, start up Jetty with this command:
View your webapplications at http://localhost:8080/webappfolder/.
Other than the extra configuration settings, the biggest change is the addition of the org.mortbay.jetty.handler.DefaultHandler, which deals with unhandled requests in the server. If you have no webapps defined in the root context ("/"), visiting http://localhost:8080/ will 404, but will present a list of contexts that have been deployed on the server. DefaultHandler also serves up a Jetty favicon.
For more details about configuring static deployment, see WebAppDeployer.
Hot Deployment of Customized Contexts
In addition to deploying webapps at start-up, you can also do hot deployment: configure a context deployer which scans a specific directory for XML configuration files, and deploys/redeploys/undeploys a webapp if its configuration file has been modified, added, or removed. These configuration files also allow you to configure certain Jetty-specific per-context settings; configuration file and its format is specific to Jetty. To keep things short, I am not going to reproduce the entire configuration. Add this block to either of the previous examples:
That sets up a ContextDeployer, which will scan the $JETTY_HOME/contexts folder every 5 seconds for changes to the XML descriptors, and hot deploy as necessary. For more details, see ContextDeployer.
File Server, One Handler
Simple HTTP file server with one handler, similar to the embedded FileServer example and embedded OneHandler example. This example serves up purely static files from your current directory:
Note that ResourceHandler does not allow directory listing; if you visit a directory with no welcome files, you will get a 403 Forbidden error message. Try the exact path to the file.
If you just want a specific context to serve static content, while still serving dynamic web applications from other contexts, configure your server to allow hot deployment (see previous example), then set up a context to serve up Static Content.
File Server, Multiple Handlers
Simple HTTP file server with request logging. Similar to the embedded FileServer example and embedded ManyHandlers example
Similar to the one handler example, but defines multiple handlers. A handler can be configured either as soon as it is declared, or further down using the Ref tag. There is no difference in effect between the two. That example serves up static files in the logs directory under your current directory, and logs all requests since the server was last started to
To see this in action, go to http://localhost:8080/request.log and refresh a few times (you may need to hard refresh, to make sure you are not seeing a cached copy of the data).
For simplicity's sake, the logfile's name does not contain a date; see
jetty.xml for an extended configuration which does.
Either a HandlerCollection or a HandlerList can be used when setting multiple handlers. org.mortbay.jetty.handler.HandlerCollection calls all handlers in turn. org.mortbay.jetty.handler.HandlerList calls each contained handler until either an exception is thrown, the response is committed,or a positive response status is sent. In this case, HandlerCollection was chosen so that the RequestLogHandler could log the requests.

Click HERE for video of two men who reported a Monday morning kidnapping
Police say four people have reported being kidnapped and robbed in Gastonia since Saturday. Those reports include three separate incidents. In one case, two men told their kidnappers that they were going to pray for them. Investigators said two armed, masked men appear to be forcing residents into their own cars at gunpoint, driving to ATMs and demanding that victims withdraw cash.
All of the people reporting being kidnapped have been left alone and unharmed after the robberies, according to police. In each instance, however, there have been reports of a gun. "My biggest concern naturally is that somebody's going to get hurt," Gastonia Police Capt. Steve Duncan said.
The first report came from a man saying he was taken from his home on St. Charles Court after being followed home from Wal-Mart. "As he pulled into his driveway the individuals approached him and made him get into his car and drive them around to ATMs and so forth to withdraw cash," Duncan said. That incident happened around 1:30 a.m. Saturday.
A second person reported being kidnapped from an apartment complex off Lowell Bethesda Road around 6 a.m. Saturday. Again, the two men forced the victim into the car and drove to an ATM to withdraw money. They were both left — unharmed and with their cars — at Charlotte convenience stores.
Men taken from church: Monday morning, police said, the bandits struck again. Two men in their 60s said they were kidnapped from a church. Claude Burdette, 69, and Tony Patterson, 60, reunited with their families hours later at the same church. The men said they were kidnapped from Flint Groves Baptist Church off East Ozark Avenue in Gastonia.
Around 5 a.m. Monday, Burdette was opening the community center at the church, as he does most mornings. He was preparing to make breakfast for some of the church members. Two masked, armed men forced him outside. "I really thought they were school kids at first," Burdette said.
That is, until they pulled out a gun and demanded money, he said. Burdette had no money. "I didn't have nothing. I didn't have a bag of peanuts, so they didn't get nothing," he said. Burdette's wallet was inside the building, and they were all locked out after the church door closed behind him. "He pulled me over there behind the dumpster and I told him, I said, 'I got a broken foot.'" Burdette said. "Well, they were nice. He helped me sit down and about that time Tony pulled up."
The men forced Patterson over to where Burdette was sitting and, again, demanded money, according to their accusers. Eventually the armed men loaded Burdette and Patterson into Patterson's truck and drove toward Charlotte.
Family finds wallet, calls police: Back at the church, members and family were arriving, looking for Patterson and Burdette. One called Claude's wife, Gail Burdette. "He's got blood pressure issues," Gail Burdette explained. "So I thought he was just somewhere lying down or something."
But when another church member found Patterson's wallet, stripped and lying behind they dumpster, they knew something was wrong. The family called 911 around 7 a.m. and waited patiently for information.
"We'd pray for them": Meanwhile, the four men were in the truck on the way to Charlotte. They made stops at Wells Fargo and Fifth-Third banks in Charlotte, withdrawing $900 from Patterson's account. Throughout the ordeal, Patterson and Burdette said they feared for their lives.
One man had a knife against Patterson's neck and the other held the gun against Burdette's side, they said. One moment in particular sticks out in Patterson's head. The men had already taken his money and were discussing what to do next. "They pulled in between two tractor-trailers … and the guy said, 'You know we can't do this' and that guy asked him, 'What do we do now?'" Patterson said. Patterson and Burdette talked to the men.
"I told them right there in the truck I said, 'Look we're going to pray for you,'" Patterson said. "And they said thank you, but it was quiet for a while." Patterson said he urged the two men to drop them off on the side of the road and promised to stay there until the men were out of sight.
The kidnappers seemed to agree to the plan. They left Patterson and Burdette at the Interstate 85 and Sugar Creek Road intersection, tossing the truck keys on the ground before walking away. It took Patterson and Burdette around 20 minutes to find the keys. Then they were on their way home.
A warm welcome home: Around 10 a.m. Patterson and Burdette pulled the truck back into the Flint Grove Baptist Church parking lot. Gail Burdette was among those waiting. "As soon as we got here, we decided to make a circle and pray," she said. "And as soon as … we got through praying it wasn't five minutes later that they pulled up." The crowd of loved ones ran out to Patterson and Burdette, wrapping their arms around them, then listening as they retold their story.
The suspects: The suspects are described as black males in their 20s with thin builds, around 5 feet 8 inches to 5 feet 11 inches tall. They were reportedly wearing dark clothing and hoodies. Duncan urges everyone to be cautious in light of the recent kidnappings. "The advice we would like to get out to people is, of course, please be aware of your surroundings," Duncan said.
Before parking or getting out of a car, take a look at your surroundings, he said. If anything seems amiss or you think you're being followed, don't stop. Keep going and call police. Police do have video footage of the suspects from various locations, Duncan said. If anyone has information on these cases, they are asked to call Gastonia Police at 704-866-6702, detectives at 704-866-6880 or CrimeStoppers of Gaston County at 704-861-8000.
CrimeStoppers pays up to $1,000 for information that leads to an arrest.
You can reach reporter Lauren Baheri at 704-869-1842 or Twitter.com/lbaheri.

Strong start lifts Jackson over Auburn into quarterfinals
Timberwolves build an 18-0 lead, then keep Auburn at bay in their 4A state regional game
That was unfortunate for the Auburn Trojans.
Clearly feeling comfortable in familiar surroundings, the third-ranked Timberwolves powered their way to an 18-0 lead in the opening minutes Saturday night and that proved to be a deficit the Trojans couldn't quite overcome as Jackson held on for a 58-53 victory.
Jackson, the only undefeated Class 4A boys team in the state, improved to 24-0 and advanced to the state quarterfinals, which open Thursday in the Tacoma Dome. Auburn (16-10) saw its season end.
Jackson essentially won the game in the first seven minutes. The Timberwolves scored on eight of their first 12 possessions to build their 18-0 advantage. Jackson controlled the boards, getting multiple shots on the offensive end and holding the Trojans to just one shot on the defensive side.
Auburn didn't score until Rio Paul came off the bench to hit a 3-pointer with 18 seconds remaining in the first quarter.
Jackson junior guard-forward Jason Todd, who led all scorers with 21 points, attributed the fast start to the Timberwolves playing in front of the home crowd.
"We had a lot of energy on our home court," he said. "It was a possible last game of the season and I know the guys were ready."
Auburn coach Ryan Hansen said he was proud of the way his players battled back after a nightmarish start.
"(Down 18-0) there's some teams that probably would have folded their tents right there," Hansen said. "Our guys showed a lot of resiliency and toughness. ... With a minute to go we had a three-point game. I was really proud of our kids."
Auburn's comeback didn't surprise Jackson coach Steve Johnson.
"They are really tough kids and are really well-coached," he said. "I knew they weren't just going to fold and go away."
Paul's insertion into the lineup in the first quarter seemed to give the Trojans a lift. He scored his team's first seven points as Auburn began chipping away at Jackson's lead. By halftime the Trojans had cut the difference to 26-19.
They would eventually get as close as three points three times in the final 21/2 minutes -- the last on two free throws by JJ Ruffin with 12.4 remaining -- but could get no closer.
"We didn't play that great," Johnson said. "Some of our better shooters shot the ball very poorly tonight. We had to gut it out with offensive rebounds, gut it out at the free-throw line. Sometimes you got to win games when you don't play that great."
Jackson shot just 36 percent from the floor (17-for-47) but out-rebounded Auburn 40-25 (including 12 offensive boards) and was 21-for-24 from the foul line (88 percent).
Todd led the Timberwolves with 21 points and 18 rebounds and was 12-for-12 from the foul line. He nearly had a double-double by halftime (nine points, 13 rebounds).
"He's a warrior ..." Johnson said. "You could see it in his eyes. He was like 'I'm going to Tacoma again.' You just had that feeling that he was going to take it upon himself if he had to, and he made a ton of plays."
It was Todd who effectively sealed the win, hitting the last of his 12 free throws with 9.8 seconds remaining to give Jackson its final five-point lead.
"I'm confident in myself, I've put in the hours, I know when it comes down to it I can hit a free throw," Todd said. "I relish that opportunity and I want the ball."
Connor Willgress scored 15 points for Jackson and Brian Zehr added 11 points and 10 rebounds. Guard Harold Lee paced Auburn with 14 points.
Jackson now heads to Tacoma for the fourth time in the past four years. Any team that hopes to beat the Timberwolves is going to have to slow down Todd, Hansen said.
"Jason Todd is a very good basketball player," he said. "In fact, he's probably as good as we've faced all year. I think teams that can get out and stop him, it's going to be a dogfight for them."
