Contribution Overview
Grapplet provides a way for running Groovy on an applet, adding extra functionality to JS objects and arrays,
for example arrays behave like Java Lists, so all GDK methods available to List and Collection can be used in JS arrays.
Grapplet will automatically look for all <script> tags available in the page that have its language property set to
"text/x-groovy". This was inspired by a post on Dion's blog: Running Ruby in the browser via script type="text/ruby".
Once Grapplet is running on a page, you can evaluate any Groovy script by calling evaluateScript().

In order to run Grapplet it needs to be signed, follow the next instructions to use a self-signed certificate
(recommended for testing)
In order to run Groovy on a browser you'll need to sign the applet.
Follow the steps to sign an applet with your own certificate.
1. Create a keystore which will hold the certificate.
I created an external keystore so I wouldn't mess up my personal security
settings while finding out the correct way to do it. All you have to do
is issue the following command:
keytool -genkey -keystore groovy -storepass groovy -keypass groovy \
-alias groovy
2. Trust your own certificate.
Unless you want to spend some bucks on this experiment I recommend you
selfcert your certificate. To selfcert your newly created certificate,
issue the following command:
keytool -selfcert -keystore groovy -storepass groovy -keypass groovy \
-alias groovy
3. Export your certificate. Export your certificate to an external file with
the following command:
keytool -export -keystore groovy -storepass groovy -keypass groovy \
-alias groovy -file groovy.cer
4. Sign the jar. This will attach the certificate to the jar and add entries
to the jar's manifest.
jarsigner -keystore groovy -storepass groovy -keypass groovy \
grapplet-0.1.jar groovy
5. Verify your jar (just in case). You may verify that your jar has indeed
been signed and includes the certificate, for more information on
jarsigner's output refer to the command's help (jarsigner -help):
jarsigner -verify -verbose -certs -keystore groovy grapplet-0.1.jar
6. Configure your local security settings. For this step you must touch
$JRE_HOME/lib/security/java.policy and $JRE_HOME/lib/security/java.security,
in windows $JRE_HOME usally points to "c:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.x.x/".
1. Add the following lines at the end of java.policy:
grant {
java.lang.RuntimePermission "usePolicy";
2. Create a file named '.java.policy' at $USER_HOME with the following
keystore "file:${user.home}/groovy";
grant signedBy "groovy" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
grant codeBase "http://localhost" {
permission java.security.AllPermission;
3. Copy the keystore 'groovy' and 'groovy.cer' (just in case) to $USER_HOME.
7. Copy the binary dist to your webserver. If you're using Apache copy
grapplet.html, groovy.js, grapplet-0.1.jar, groovy-all-1.0.jar, groovy and
groovy.cer to $APACHE_HOME/htdocs/grapplet
Source Control
Grapplet uses Maven2 as its build tool, which means that if you want to
build your own version of Grapplet from source you'll need to have it
installed. Follow the instructions at http://maven.apache.org
Once Maven2 is installed you will also need to install the java-plugin into
your maven repository (but it wouldn't hurt to check at
http://mvnrepository.org if it is already there). Usually the plugin is
located at $JDK_HOME/jre/lib/plugin.jar
You can install it on your local Maven2 repo with the following command
mvn install:installFile -DgroupId=com.sun.java-plugin -Dversion=<jdkversion> \
-Dpackaging=jar -DartifactId=java-plugin \
-Dfile= $JDK_HOME/jre/lib/plugin.jar
where <jdkversion> is the version number of the selected jdk. Grapplet has
version 1.6.0 configured, if you change version you'll have to update pom.xml
After you have the required dependencies installe, you may generate the package
by typing
mvn package
Now you'll have to sign grapplet-<version>.jar, copy it and groovy.js to your
webapp or webserver dir. The file src/html/grapplet.html should give you some
pointers in how it should be configured.
The next section will describe the process of self-signing the jar.
Please contact the team members by e-mail.

It's understandable that cash can make people disembarrass. But how to act if someone doesn't have cash? The one way is to get the home loans and just secured loan.

Comments about Continental Sprinter Tubular Tire:
I purchased a pair of these to mount on a pair of Reynolds Attack tubulars. I use them primarily as race wheels, but will pull them out for a fast training ride, or when the ride will include a great deal of climbing/descending.
So far, I have no real regrets. I stretched each tire for two days before mounting - this is critical, as they are VERY snug. Gluing them up was messier than usual, likely due to the tight tire/rim interface.
They ride well, but even stretching when gluing is critical - I've had to re-glue each to minimize lumpiness. There's still a bit of hop, but it's lost in the road noise
Ride is incredible (as expected). Not quite Corsa CX quality, but it beats any clincher I've ever ridden. Cornering is likewise amazing - I keep finding myself pushing beyond the point where my old Pro3 Race clinchers would start to slide.
Wear has been a non-issue, but I have less than 1000 miles on them thus far. I've had no punctures (that I'm aware of - I have 1oz of Stan's in each), and only a few minor cuts on the tread.
All said, I would highly recommend these to anyone who wants a good set of race tubies, but still wants to take them out on training rides.

I've already shown my master bath, my living room, and my master bedroom, and with most of those rooms it was pretty easy to make them look practically finished (which they are), but now we're going to start to get into rooms that are going to look more progress-y.
Anyway, here are the before pictures. Yes, that's shag carpet in the dining room.
You'll notice that I kept the chandelier, and that the doors have fun old molding, but the window does not (that is, if you can see the window under the frilly curtains).
The first thing we did was fulfill a dream of mine to have built-in bookshelves and a window seat. Those built-ins are 73% full of Woo's record collection.
Yes, I did paint the doors in this room a bright, chartreuse green. And yes, I kind of like them. So sue me.
I made a pad for my window seat, but it really needs a couple more throw pillows to look good. You may be asking yourself why I didn't just run out and buy a couple of pillows before taking pictures.
I wonder why? It's almost as if neutrals and muted colors sell.
This room is so close, I can almost taste it. The faux wainscoting needs a little work, we're in desperate need of a bigger (and nicer) table, some more pillows, some more art, and we're done!

Breakfast is the first meal of the day. The word derives from the idea of breaking the fast of sleep.
Chinese breakfasts vary greatly between different regions. Except for Hong Kong, Western types of breakfasts or their derivatives are rarely eaten. In Northern China breakfast fare typically includes huājuǎn, mántou (steamed breads), shāobǐng (unleavened pocket-bread with sesame), bāozi (steamed buns with meat or vegetable stuffing), with Dòunǎi or dòujiāng (soy milk) or tea served in Chinese style as beverages.
In Central and Eastern China, typified by Shanghai and the neighbouring Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui provinces breakfast fares include some Northern as well as Southern dishes. Typically breakfast consists of ci fan tuan, 由豆腐粉絲 → yóudoùfu fěnsī (a soup made by fried tofu and cellophane noodles), plain rice porridge (粥 → zhōu) served with numerous side dishes such as salted duck eggs, pickled vegetables, and century eggs, or sweetened or savoury soy milk served with shāobǐng or 油條 → yóutiáo.
In Southeastern China such as Fujian province, breakfasts consist of rice porridge served with side dishes like pickled vegetables and century eggs.
In Southern China, represented by Guangdong province breakfasts include rice porridge prepared to a thicker consistency than those sold in Shanghai and side dishes are not served. Congee is served with yóutiáo if it is plain. In many cases, however, congee is prepared with meats or dried vegetables such as beef slices, shredded salted pork and century eggs, fish, or slices of pig's liver and kidney and could be served with or without yóutiáo. Other breakfast fares include rice noodle rolls (cheong fun) (served with Hoi sin sauce and soy sauce, without fillings), fried noodles (pan fried noodles with bean sprouts, spring onions, and soy sauce), fagao (rice cakes), jiānbǐng (thin crispy omelets with fillings folded in), lúobogāo (turnip cakes) and zòngzi (another kind of rice cake wrapped in bamboo leaves). The dim sum breakfast, is a world in itself, and is often eaten as brunch at specialist restaurants.
In Taiwan, due to the influx of mainland Chinese in the aftermath of the Republic of China's retreat to Taiwan in 1949 after the end of the Chinese Civil War, breakfasts tend to be a mix of Northern and Eastern Chinese dishes in addition to the traditional South eastern Chinese fare. This is more pronounced in cities with high proportions of people of mainland Han Chinese descent, like Taipei.
Traditional breakfasts in Hong Kong follow very closely those in Guangdong, but due to long periods of British colonial rule and the influx of substantial refugees from Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces and Shanghai with the end of Chinese Civil War in 1949, localized interpretations of English breakfast and Eastern Chinese breakfast fare are commonly found alongside Cantonese breakfasts. In a Hong Kong cha chaan teng breakfasts could consist of milk tea, coffee, or yuanyang served with bread, ham, and fried eggs, and a bowl of macaroni soup with ham. This local interpretation of English breakfast is regarded in both mainland China and Taiwan as uniquely Hong Kong. In upper market restaurants or hotels, however, standard English and Continental breakfasts are served.
In South India, the most popular breakfast is an assortment with several possible main dishes, such as idlis, vadas, dosas, salty pongal, and chapatis. These are most often served with hot sambar and at least one kind of chutney are the common items in Tamilnadu.
Kerala's traditional breakfast (Praatal/പ്രാതല്) includes Puttu(പുട്ടു്) (eaten with kadala(കടല)(black chana) curry or ripe bananas (നേന്ത്രപ്പഴം), Porotta(പൊറോട്ട) / Pathiri(പത്തിരി)/ Orotti (ഒറോട്ടി) (eaten with Chicken / Beef / Mutton / Veg Curry), Appam(അപ്പം) (Paalappam, Vellayappam, Kallappam) or Idiyappam (ഇടിയപ്പം) (Noolappam / നൂലപ്പം) with Egg Curry (മുട്ടക്കറി) or Meat/Veg stew, Kappa(കപ്പ) (Tapioca) and MeenCurry / MeenVaruttathu (Tapioca and Fish) and other popular breakfast items like Idli (ഇഡ്ഡലി) and Dosa (ദോശ) / Masala Dosa (മസാല ദോശ). Other common dishes include Ada (അട) (Ilayada, Ottada),Ariyappam, Uppumaavu (ഉപ്പുമാവു്) etc.
The usual North Indian breakfast consists of stuffed paratha breads or unstuffed parathas (they resemble oily milee crepes) with fresh butter, cooked spicy vegetables -- especially aloo sabzi. Puri and chholey is also a popular north-Indian breakfast, along with rajma-chawal. Popular accompaniments include sweets like jalebi, halwa, and sweetened milk. Samosas, and combination of jalebi with yogurt (dahi-jalebi) comprise stand-alone breakfast items in U.P. and its surrounding parts. In Maharashtra, Poha, Upma, or Shira (similar to Kesaribath) is frequently eaten for breakfast.
Gujarati breakfast items include haandvo, dhokla, sev-khamni, theplas (a form of paratha), bhaakhri and assorted hard and crispy masala puris with pickles. Tea is a staple item in breakfast. Kids are encouraged to drink milk instead of tea.
In urban areas, omelettes and simple butter sandwiches are becoming a popular breakfast food.
A traditional Japanese breakfast is based on rice, seafood, and fermented foods, which do not differ substantially from dishes eaten at other meals in Japanese cuisine. An exception is nattō (a type of fermented soybeans), which is most popularly eaten for breakfast. A typical Japanese restaurant breakfast presentation would be miso soup, rice with nori or other garnishes, nattō, grilled fish, raw egg, and a pickled vegetable. The influence of Japanese travelers has made this traditional breakfast a standard option on the menus of many upscale hotels worldwide. It is common in Japanese households to include left-over items from the last evening's dinner in the next day's breakfast. Western breakfast foods such as toast and boiled or fried eggs are also common, cereals are becoming popular. Typical breakfast beverages are green tea (traditional) and coffee (modern).
A typical Singaporean breakfast usually consists of a variety of food option from various cultures. More commonly, fried noodle with egg (or other side dishes like vegetables, ham, fish cake or tofu), mee goreng (Malay version of fried noodle, albeit spicier), nasi lemak, curry puffs, kueh-kueh (malay cakes) or sandwiches for those on the move. For those who can afford a more leisurely breakfast, it can be noodle soup, kway chap (flat noodles in braised soup along with sides like tofu, peanut, pork and pig organs.), a variety of malay noodle soup dishes like mee soto, mee siam. There are other local favourite like bean curd, sweet soup like black glutinous rice porridge or green/ red bean soup. Others may prefer toast, cereals or an American breakfast from fast-food chains. It is common especially among the older students and working adults to skip breakfast.
Glutinous rice or kao hnyin is a popular alternative, steamed wrapped in banana leaf often with peas as kao hnyin baung served with a sprinkle of crushed and salted toasted sesame. Equally popular is the purple variety known as nga cheik cooked the same way and called nga cheik paung. Si damin is sticky rice cooked with turmeric and onions in peanut oil and served with crushed and salted toasted sesame and crispfried onions. Assorted fritters such as baya gyaw (urad dal) go with all of them.
Nan bya or naan (Indian-style flatbreads) again with pè byouk or simply buttered is served with Indian tea or coffee. It also goes very well with hseiksoup (mutton soup).
Fried chapati, blistered like nan bya but crispy, with pè byouk and crispy fried onions is a popular alternative.
Htat ta ya, lit. "a hundred layers", is flaky multilayered fried paratha served with either pè byouk or a sprinkle of sugar.
E kya kway (Chinese-style fried breadsticks or youtiao) with Indian tea or coffee is another favourite.
Mohinga, perhaps the most popular of all, now available as an "all-day breakfast" in many towns and cities, is rice vermicelli in fish broth kept on the boil with chickpea flour and/or crushed toasted rice, lemon grass, sliced banana stem, onions, garlic, ginger, pepper and fish paste and served with crispy fried onions, crushed dried chilli, coriander, fish sauce and lime. Add fritters such as split chickpea (pè gyan gyaw), urad dal (baya gyaw) or gourd (bu gyaw), boiled egg and fried fish cake (nga hpè gyaw).
Another dish, growing in popularity because of its healthier composite and economic friendliness, is the Rakhine Mont-de, a variant of Mohinga, but lighter. It consists of thin rice noodles eaten with clear soup, made from boiled ngapi and lemon grass. Toasted fish flakes, from snakefish and green and red chili paste are also added, with seasoning. Rakhine Mont-de is also called ar-pu-shar-pu (lit. hot throat, hot tongue) because of its heavy use of spicy ingredients. A salad version also exists. It is now available in many cities and towns across Myanmar.
Otherwise parathas are widely eaten for breakfast; they may be stuffed with vegetables or unstuffed eaten alongside fried eggs or some other dish. Tea is served with breakfast.
In cities and urban areas, eggs and toast with butter and jam are also popular.
A favourite traditional breakfast in the Philippines consists of garlic fried rice, fried or scrambled eggs, and a choice of breakfast meat: beef tapa (like a fried beef jerky), pork tocino (caramelised pork), longaniza (breakfast sausage), dried, smoked fish, tinned sardines, sauteed corned beef, or crispy pork adobo, sometimes with Western-style baked beans, sliced tomatoes and a local pickle (achara) on the side. Alternatively, a cheese-topped breakfast pastry called an ensaymada (a colonial relative of the Mallorcan ensaimada) is also eaten, usually with hot chocolate, as is pan de sal (Philippine breakfast roll) filled with a buffalo milk white cheese, and local barako coffee. Western style breakfasts such as pancakes, French toast, and porridge are also eaten at home, as are cold 'corn flake-type' cereals which are popular with children. There is also a breakfast known as "Tapsilog", which is a combination of Tapa, Sinanag (Fried Rice) and Itlog (Egg) Finally, there is champorado, a local chocolate sticky rice porridge, often served with a side dish of crisp-fried sun-dried fish (danggit or tuyo) -- an unusual, though authentically Filipino combination.
A typical everyday breakfast can simply consist of "brother bread" with butter, and cheese or jam, plantain banana and tea.
In summer, a New Zealand breakfast will typically consist of some variation on toast, cereal, juice and fruit. In winter many New Zealand prefer porridge or Weet-Bix with hot milk. On special occasions some New Zealanders will create a full cooked breakfast after the English tradition — generally bacon and eggs, fried tomatoes, fried mushrooms, and toast. American-type breakfasts (pancakes etc.) are becoming more common in New Zealand. These are usually purchased from a restaurant for weekend brunch.
As a general rule, traditional breakfasts are less substantial and less elaborate in the warmer, more southern countries bordering the Mediterranean, while breakfasts are traditionally larger, with a greater variety of dishes and greater prevalence of hot dishes in the cooler northern- and central-European countries.
Hotels and other types of lodging in Europe typically include breakfast in their rates, and in many cases, especially in larger hotels, it is served as a buffet. Specific items will vary from country to country, depending on local breakfast tastes and habits. In Switzerland, for example, cold cuts (luncheon meats), cheese, yoghurt, prepared fruit, butter, croissants, breads, and rolls are served. Sometimes foods belonging to the British breakfast (eggs, sausages, tomatoes (fresh, grilled or canned), bacon) can occasionally be found as part of the buffet.
The Continental Breakfast concept is not limited to Europe, as evidenced by the numerous hotel chains that offer this service worldwide.
Traditionally, people in Britain and Ireland have enjoyed a substantial hot meal for breakfast, featuring eggs, bacon, and sausages, accompanied by toast and tea or coffee. These items are sometimes eaten separately on morning rolls. Many other items (for example kedgeree, grilled or fried tomatoes, black pudding or white pudding, baked beans, fried sliced bread, various types of fried potatoes and mushrooms) may be included depending on taste and location. Today, this dish remains popular but is not usually served at breakfast time during the week. Many people instead reserve the full cooked breakfast for weekends, or go to a cafe for it on the weekends. A full breakfast is also a meal available any time at many cafes and greasy spoons. It is also served at hotels where it can be quite substantial in size and variety. The author Somerset Maugham once quipped that "the only way to eat well in England is to have breakfast three times a day."
This traditional cooked breakfast has largely been replaced by simple, light foods mainly eaten cold: fruit, yogurt, packaged cereal with cold milk, and toast with a variety of spreads such as butter, jam, marmalade, lemon curd, Marmite, or peanut butter. Boiled eggs with soldiers are also a popular breakfast meal in the UK although like the full English breakfast they are mainly eaten at the weekend. Porridge is a traditional breakfast in Scotland as well as the rest of Britain in the winter months. In most British hotels this breakfast is included in the room rate.
Another popular breakfast in England is the kipper, a type of salted, smoked herring.
However, times have progressed and due to the need for fast nourishment, cold breakfast foodstuffs such as commercial cereal brands (sugarpuffs, branflakes, weetabix etc) are becoming the norm for many persons first meal of the day; the option of smoothies and yogurt has also became a popular choice in later years as well as French-influenced croissants as a sweet replacement to toast or crumpets.
In Lebanon, there are several types of breakfasts. Breakfasts include labneh, makoucheh, lahm bi ajin, and knefeh.
In Jordan the traditional breakfast is, pita bread dipped in rich labneh, a type of yogurt, or in olive oil and za'atar, also Hummus and Ful medames; variety of olives, cheeses, especially Goat Cheese, variety of vegetables; Falafel is also very common among breakfast items. Usually following breakfast you are served black tea, or Arabic coffee.
In Egypt the traditional breakfast is ful medames: slow cooked fava beans (sometimes with lentils) dressed in olive oil, lemon juice and garlic.
An Israeli breakfast typically consists of coffee, orange juice, fresh vegetables salad, goats/cows cream cheese, fresh bread or toast, olives, butter, fried eggs of your choice, and some small cookies or slices of cake. For an even fuller breakfast it might include hard-boiled eggs, cottage cheese, quark cheese, and Israeli salad. Another type of breakfast would be fried dough, malawach served with sweet fruits or something spicier. Hotels with continental breakfasts, in addition to the aforemention items, will usually serve many different kinds of fish and yogurts, as well as an egg and spicy tomato dish known as shakshuka.
Many regions of the U.S.A. have local breakfast specialties that are less popular nationally. In the South, homemade biscuits served with country-style gravy (also called sawmill gravy), country ham and red eye gravy and grits are one traditional breakfast menu; the Southwest has huevos rancheros and spicy breakfast burritos; scrapple is a favorite in the Mid-Atlantic states; pork roll is rarely available outside New Jersey and Philadelphia; and New Englanders still occasionally indulge in fried salt-pork, and pie. Fried eggs with bacon or sausage and American cheese on a seeded kaiser roll is a popular breakfast sandwich in parts of New York. Many Soul food breakfast menus across the country include fried chicken wings, catfish, pork chops and salmon croquettes Specialty items also vary in popularity regionally, such as linguiça sausage and Spam in Hawaii, crab cakes in southern New England and the Mid-Atlantic regions, andouille sausage, chicory coffee, Chisesi ham and beignets in Louisiana, chorizo in the Southwest, lox and smoked salmon in the Northwest, goetta in Greater Cincinnati, et cetera.
Some regions of Canada especially Quebec, New Brunswick and Parts of Eastern Ontario will commonly include maple syrup with crêpes, French toast, pancakes, or waffles.
Hotels now often serve breakfast buffets for a fixed price, or offer sweet rolls, cereal, and coffee as a free "continental" breakfast. Traditionally, hotel breakfasts were made to order.
Today, most Americans and Canadians eat a reduced breakfast most days, but may still enjoy a traditional hearty breakfast on weekends, holidays, and vacations. Having only coffee or skipping breakfast entirely is also common. Eating out for breakfast or brunch is common on weekends and holidays.
Eggs are strongly associated with breakfast, to the extent that many Americans and Canadians consider egg dishes out of place later in the day.
A typical contemporary combination of food for a hearty breakfast consists of eggs (fried or scrambled), one type of meat, and one or two starchy dishes; commonly hash browns and toast. A more basic breakfast combination would be a starchy food (such as toast, pastry, breakfast cereal, oatmeal, pancakes, or waffles) either alone or served with fruit and yogurt. This second option, similar to the Continental breakfasts served in Europe, is especially common in institutional situations where serving hot food is difficult, expensive, or impractical.
Restaurants that serve breakfast typically base their menus around egg dishes and meats such as sausage and bacon. Pancakes and waffles are also popular. An assemblage commonly known as a country breakfast in restaurants consists of eggs or omelette, sausage or bacon, hash browns, sausage gravy, coffee, biscuits or toast with jam or jelly, and fruit juice.
A typical breakfast for those that eat ordinary breakfast as a home meal is instant oatmeal or a cold breakfast cereal with milk. Leftovers from the previous day's meals may also be eaten, such as cold pizza.
A worker's breakfast often consists only of coffee and prepared food purchased on the way to work or brought from home, eaten during the morning commute or at the workplace just before clocking in. Food items that fit this eat-on-the-go strategy include various sweet breakfast breads and pastries, bagels (often with cream cheese), sweetened flavored yogurt cups, smoothies and milkshakes, fresh fruit, granola or "energy" bars, toaster pastries, and fast food. Many fast food restaurants sell breakfast versions of their typical offerings that include eggs and are usually sweeter and less spicy. Examples of such breakfasts-to-go are: egg-filled sandwiches on croissants, biscuits or muffins, and breakfast burritos filled with eggs, cheese and sometimes sausage.
Healthier breakfasts are gaining in popularity in some parts of the country such as California, featuring yogurt, whole-grain cereal, fresh fruit or egg-white omelets.
Coffee is the most common breakfast beverage. In the United States, 65% of coffee drunk during the day is with breakfast.. Also common are tea, milk, hot chocolate, orange juice, and other fruit juices (grapefruit, tomato, etc). Occasionally, caffeinated carbonated beverages may be substituted for the more traditional coffee or tea. Espresso drinks such as cappuccino and latte have become increasingly popular since the 1990's.
The modern options typical of the U.S.A. and Canada are representative of Western-style breakfasts that have become common worldwide, especially in industrialized nations.
Breakfast is thought as the foods typically eaten during morning hours, that are distinct from other foods even if eaten outside of the morning. In this sense, some serve breakfast for dinner. There are several fast food and casual dining chains in North America that specialize in hearty breakfast-style foods, such as pancakes and country breakfasts, that offer these all day long. Like greasy spoons in the UK, American coffeeshops and diners typically serve breakfast foods all day.
Cultures around the world commonly shun or restrict alcoholic beverages at breakfast. (Alcohol is a depressant and a psychoactive drug, and so its effects might not be desired during working hours.) Notable exceptions would be the Mimosa cocktail: champagne and orange juice (known as buck's fizz in the UK); and the Bloody Mary cocktail: vodka and spiced tomato juice. Still, a Mimosa is normally served at brunch, and rarely consumed before 10:00 in the morning at breakfast proper.
The serving of a pancake breakfast is traditional on Pancake Day (Shrove Tuesday), and some celebrate a festive breakfast on Christmas morning.
During Ramadan, Muslims describe the meal after sunset that "breaks the fast" as Iftar.

She'll move with agility in performance-cut soccer and basketball shorts. Watch her take on the outdoors with ease in durable outdoor hiking shorts, built with UV-ray shielding technology. Get the best of both worlds with charming shorts and skirts that are perfect for a round on the links or tennis match.
She'll look great in her favorite brands like Nike®. Reebok® and Under Armour®.
Buying Tips
Think of her sport and active lifestyle when choosing her apparel, including girls' athletic shorts. If she's rooting on the team from the sidelines, give her shorts designed with four-way stretch. She'll light up the court in girls' basketball shorts designed with mesh paneling for proper air circulation. Consider lightweight fabrics in her garment, so her apparel never weighs her down.
Look for shorts that provide the right level of coverage and a comfortable stretch waistband for a snug, custom-like fit. Girls' athletic shorts designed with moisture-wicking technology work to pull perspiration off her skin for a fresh feeling that lasts until the end of the game.
Match her personality: Find shorts constructed of bright prints, purples and yellows or sporty-sleek blacks.
Expert Advice
Consider the fit of her shorts: Girls' compression shorts deliver a streamlined, second-skin fit that speeds up muscle recovery time. For a looser feel, go for soccer, running or basketball shorts designed with a longer leg.
If she's running outdoors, think about shorts and apparel designed with quick-drying fabric. For maximized comfort, fabrics should resist bunching and riding and prevent friction. An inner brief or liner often provides extra comfort when she needs it most.

Jaco Taute won't play for the Stormers against the Sharks because of injury.
Taute took a heavy blow to the groin in the 25-17 defeat against the Bulls and is in hospital for observation after passing blood in his urine.
Stormers coach Allister Coetzee confirmed the Lions import has already been ruled out of the visit to Durban but there is less certainty as to the seriousness of the blow.
Joe Pietersen is expected to start at fullback and he may also be given the goalkicking duties to allow Elton Jantjies to settle at flyhalf and concentrate on his all-round tactical game.
Prop Pat Cilliers, who left the field with concussion, did not train but the management are confident he will be cleared for selection. Midfielder Juan de Jongh ran with the squad on Monday but a decision on his availability will only be made following Tuesday's practise.

Gastonia Police arrested a Dallas man and are looking for two other suspects in a string of kidnappings that took place over the weekend. Reginald Tyrone Rice, 21, faces charges only related to the kidnapping and robbery of two men Monday morning at Flint Groves Baptist Church off East Ozark Avenue. But police say the investigation is ongoing.
Two other similar kidnappings and robberies took place in Gastonia on Saturday. The men who reported the kidnappings and robberies were unharmed. Each said he was forced into a car at gunpoint and taken to ATMs, where thieves demanded money.
After that, the accusers say they were left unharmed while the two kidnappers walked away. Police now believe a third suspect was picking up the two men and dropping them off. Police are seeking a second man, as well as a third unknown person in the cases. But Gastonia Police Capt. Steve Duncan said Rice's arrest is a positive start.
"We hope that it will stop the acts and that there won't be any more of them to come," he said. "That was our purpose in going in and making some charges." The investigation is ongoing and several more interviews were in the works Wednesday, Duncan said.
He attributes Rice's arrest to help from the public and good, old-fashioned police work. Rice, who lives at 429 S. Spargo St. in Dallas, was charged with two counts of felony conspiracy and two counts of conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon. He was booked into Gaston County Jail under a $50,000 bond.
In Rice's first appearance in court, District Court Judge Richard Abernathy raised Rice's bond to $500,000. Rice sighed and shook his head in response. An employee of Food Lion in Dallas, Rice was appointed a public defender.
One accuser says he forgives the suspects: Claude Burdette is one of the men who reported being taken from Flint Groves Baptist Church early Monday morning — the kidnapping with which Rice is charged. Burdette was relieved to hear the news that police had made an arrest. "It gave me peace," he said.
Tearfully, Burdette recounted the events of that morning. On a car ride that lasted more than an hour, Burdette said he feared for his life. "Life can change just like that," he said. "And they don't realize that. They don't know what they're doing to people when they do this."
Burdette and Tony Patterson, the other man who reported being kidnapped at the same time, walked away unharmed. But Burdette said that morning scared him. "They don't know how we were hurt inside," he said. "Physically, yeah, we walked away with no scratches or nothing but inside we were torn up."
In spite of that, Burdette says he prays for and forgives Rice and the other men who might be charged.

This page describes a Groovy solution for ShortestSudokuSolver. Check the link for all the details, but basically the puzzle state is fed in as a String. Each line of the script must be no more than 80 characters in length.
The solution (184 characters plus 2 newlines):
- The script could be 25 characters shorter if Groovy supported integer division.
- The script executes more efficiently if you use logical operators '&&' and '||' instead of '&' and '|' because short-circuiting kicks in at the expense of 3 characters.
- The script would be 1 character longer if for clarity you wanted to use '0' instead of the first 48.
- The script would be 2 characters longer if you want to use
printlnrather than
- To make the function stop as soon as it finds the first solution (proper puzzles will only have one solution), the part before the
elsebecomes {
print a;System.exit(1)}
Add the following line to the script to solve a partially complete puzzle (should take just a few seconds):
Alternatively, add the following line to the script to solve a puzzle from scratch (may take 30-60 minutes or more):
The expected output is:
Here is the more usual representation of the puzzle:
You can run it from the command-line by adding
;r args[0] to the end of the script (saved in a file called
sudoku.groovy) and then invoking:
If you use '.groovy' as your script file extension, you can even leave off the extension as follows:
A slightly longer version using a matcher and no inner closure (209 characters plus 2 newlines):
Or without the matcher (193 characters plus two newlines):
Also see another version for a more understandable (though much longer) algorithm - but it also does a lot more.

I have recently been doing some research on the factors contributing positively or negatively to the economy of a nation. I have been severely socked by the amount of hate Islam is receiving from the world. ( By the way, I am non Muslim).
For instance, I read on one of the forums, a guy arguing that Islam is contributing destructively to the economy of nations having a Muslim Majority. I read his post and read his arguments and I would have to say, I completely disagree with the Idea that Religions and economies are in anyway correlated and here is my argument.

Frozen foods can add variety to your meals year-round. As with any method of food preservation, following specific guidelines will assure you of high quality, safe food. For additional information, refer to other Human Environmental Sciences guides in the Quality for Keeps freezer series.
Blanching, or scalding vegetables in boiling water or steam for a short period of time, is a must for almost all vegetables to be frozen except onions and green peppers. It slows or stops the action of enzymes. Up until harvest time, enzymes cause vegetables to grow and mature. If vegetables are not blanched, or not blanched long enough, the enzymes continue to be active during frozen storage causing off-colors, off-flavors and toughening.
In addition, blanching cleanses the surface of dirt and spoilage organisms, brightens the color and helps retard loss of vitamins. It also wilts or softens vegetables and makes them easier to pack.
Blanching time is crucial and varies with the vegetable and size of the pieces to be frozen. Under-blanching speeds up the activity of enzymes and is worse than no blanching. Over-blanching causes loss of flavor, color, vitamins and minerals. Follow recommended blanching times for specific vegetables.
As soon as blanching is complete, cool vegetables quickly and thoroughly to stop the cooking process. To cool, plunge the basket of vegetables immediately into a large quantity of cold water. Change water frequently or use cold running water or iced water. If ice is used, about one pound of ice for each pound of vegetable is needed. Cool vegetables for the same amount of time as they are blanched. Drain vegetables thoroughly after cooling. Extra moisture can cause a loss of quality when vegetables are frozen.
Follow the guidelines below to keep frozen vegetables safe and preserve their color, flavor, texture and nutritive value:
Other methods of cooking frozen vegetables include steaming, stir frying, pressure cooking or microwaving. Frozen vegetables can be added without thawing to soups or stews. Add them near the end of cooking to prevent texture loss. Many frozen vegetables can be baked in a covered, greased casserole in the oven. Partially thaw and separate pieces first. Although baking time for frozen vegetables varies, the approximate time for baking most partially thawed vegetables is 45 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. This is not a time- or energy-efficient method, however, unless other foods are being baked in the oven at the same time.
Water blanch diced pieces or strips 2 minutes in 1 gallon of boiling water containing 4-1/2 teaspoons citric acid or 1/2 cup lemon juice. One-third-inch slices should be blanched for 4 minutes. Cool, drain, package, seal and freeze.
NoteSlices to be fried should be packed between sheets of freezer wrap for easy removal.
NoteDo not steam blanch greens.
NoteSmall pumpkins can be pierced and baked whole on a tray in an oven or microwave oven until soft. After cooling, peel, remove strings and seeds and mash. Package, seal and freeze.
Time to cook after water returns to a boil.

National Reading Group Month may have concluded this past weekend, but the reports keep coming in! This latest from Charlie Haas, author of The Enthusiast, details the event in San Franciso last week, as only he could tell it. In his novel The Enthusiast, Haas tells the story of Henry Bay, who has worked at nearly every enthusiast magazine in America, from Spelunk to Cozy: The Magazine of Tea. He has enmeshed himself in the enthusiasms of others -- soon begging the question as to what his own passion is. Read on for Haas's report of the SF National Reading Group Month event at BookShop West Portal.These five writers walk into a bookstore. The fact that we do this is a story in itself, since the bookstore's in San Francisco and this is the week when the Bay Bridge starts dropping steel rods on passing cars and has to take some personal days. Getting around the Bay Area is a little hilarious right now, but the bookstore event is a celebration of National Reading Group Month, and everyone finds a way there.
Nervous about my transit connections, I arrive early and take a sunset walk on West Portal, a storybook California shopping street of Spanish tile, stucco ornament, and half the world's cuisines. On the wall of an alley across the street from the bookstore, someone's hung a painting of a young woman in a pose of serene ecstasy. A Lucite border is inscribed TO ME, WRITING IS THE MOST THERAPEUTIC THING POSSIBLE. A smaller sign says TO LISTEN TO THE POET CALL 415 200-4587 X 13.
I dial, and stand in the darkening alley listening to the young woman in the painting read a sweet, blunt poem about a love affair. Then I cross the street to Bookshop West Portal, a welcoming indie with some nice original choices (Zeroville!) on the front tables.
We're greeted by poet Joan Gelfand, president of the Women's National Book Association, which invented National Reading Group Month in 2007. As the audience filters in, the four writer-panelists talk a little shop (three minutes to explain your book on TV is too short; an hour to explain it on radio is way too long). Joan notes in her introduction that the WNBA, at 92, is older than the women's suffrage amendment, and starts us off with short readings: Meg Waite Clayton introduces the characters in The Wednesday Sisters, her supple story of friendship and writing set down the road in Palo Alto; Allison Hoover Bartlett gives us a gripping bit from The Man Who Loved Books Too Much, a true yarn of biblio-theft and detection; Mary Mackey offers mystical doings in the Brazilian rainforest from The Widow's War; and this reporter dips into The Enthusiast, a comedy of American obsessions, loneliness, and belonging.
Then Joan asks us about our experiences visiting reading groups, and we have so much to say that an hour of radio starts to look short. As Meg says, it's hard to pin down why writers write, but the consensus is that connecting with readers is much of what's in it for us, as it is for that woman in the painting in the alley. She's found a new method -- it's the age of new methods -- but the impulse never changes, and a visit with a reading group that's discussing your book is the industrial-strength version of that connection. These are the readers you hoped for, sitting in a living room and debating the same things you debated with yourself when you were writing, but with insights, biases, and bodies of knowledge you didn't have access to.
We get into details -- Mary, with her Civil War novels, has encountered the rare all-male book club; most groups we've met would rather find their own way into books than use publishers' guides and questions; and this reporter goes on a bit about the excellence of reading group snacks -- but we keep circling back to how much our book club house calls and speakerphone visits have deepened our own understanding of what we do.
Once, at a San Francisco book club meeting, I joined a discussion of why the protagonist of The Enthusiast does something. I said, "I've always had the feeling that he does that because --"
"You mean you don't know?" someone asked, not unreasonably. But some things people do in books, as in life, have ambiguous causes, and the writer wants to leave them open, to have his or her own theories alongside the readers'. A lot of the good theories, honed by practice, come up in those living rooms. Writers write books but they don't entirely finish them -- readers do, sometimes in groups. How cool to be part of their month.

Do Auditor Resignations Reduce Uncertainty about the Quality of Firms' Financial Reporting?
2005, Journal of Accounting and Public Policy
M. D. Beneish, P. E. Hopkins, I. Jansen, R. Martin
We assess the conditions under which auditor resignations reduce uncertainty about the quality of financial reporting of former and continuing clients of the resigning auditor. Our analysis is based on a sample of 109 auditor resignations in the period 1994-1998. Approximately one-quarter of these resignation announcements are accompanied by disclosure of a disagreement over accounting treatment or over the adequacy of internal controls factors that point toward diminished credibility of former client's financial statements, and are associated with negative abnormal returns for the former client. In contrast, we find no stock market effect for the remaining firms (i.e., three-quarters of our sample) for which the auditor resignations are "unexplained", suggesting that the act of resignation, by itself, is not informative. Further, we find that these unexplained resignations, which likely result from auditor's periodic risk-related reviews of their client portfolios, transfer value-relevant information to another class of investors. In particular, we find that industry matched continuing clients of the auditor that also have poor performance experience positive abnormal returns in the days surrounding media-announced resignations from former clients. This suggests that in an environment where poorly performing, high-risk audit clients are screened contemporaneously, an auditor's unexplained resignation from one client, but not from a similar client in its portfolio, helps reduce uncertainty about the credibility of continuing client's financial reporting.

DOE and EPA Recognize Energy Star Partners and Retailers
April 1, 2009
DOE and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recognized business, regional groups, and government entities on March 31 for their work in the Energy Star program, either through achieving major energy savings or helping consumers save money. A total of 89 awards were presented during the ceremony in Washington, D.C., including awards for Sustained Excellence, Partners of the Year, and Awards for Excellence. Winners for Sustained Excellence included companies such as Whirlpool Corporation, which was recognized for its work in appliance manufacturing; GE Consumer & Industrial for appliances and lighting manufacturing; Gorell Enterprises, Inc. for windows, doors and skylights; Osram Sylvania for lighting manufacturing; Pella Corporation for window manufacturing; and ProVia Door, Inc. for door manufacturing. In the "Partners of the Year" category, Bosch Home Appliances was recognized in the field of appliance manufacturing, and TCP was recognized in lighting manufacturing.
Many of the awards were also presented to recognize work in retailing Energy Star products. Lowe's was recognized as the Partner of the Year for Retail; Best Buy for Excellence in Appliance and Electronics Retailing; Nationwide Marketing Group for Excellence in Retail Promotion; Menards for Excellence in Home Improvement Retail; and Sears Holding for Special Recognition for Retail Commitment. In addition, Actus Lend Lease received an award for Excellence in Energy Star Promotions for its role in the "Operation Change Out" military campaign. The campaign aimed to increase the use of compact fluorescent lamps in military installations nationwide. See the DOE press release and the Operation Change Out Web page on the Energy Star Web site, as well as a complete list of the 2009 Energy Star Award winners.
Energy Star is a program run jointly by DOE and the EPA, which serves as a voluntary partnership between government and commercial organizations. Products have to meet stringent requirements for energy efficiency in order to be Energy Star-qualified. These energy-efficient products help consumers to save energy while reducing their overall carbon emissions. More than 12,000 organizations have joined Energy Star as partners, and the Energy Star label appears on more than 40 kinds of products. See the Energy Star Web site.

Naturally Apolitical
I spent last weekend at the natural product industry's largest trade show, Expo West. I spent most of my time in the Seventh Generation booth greeting customers, consumers, friends and anyone else who wanted to stop by. Our new booth has a homey porch, and it was wonderful to see people hanging out wherever they could find a a free space to sit. But it wasn't until I got home (well, not actually home… I'm on my way there now after a Greenpeace board meeting) and read Joel Makower's take on the event that I realized we were an industry in jeopardy of loosing our heart and soul. Joel's article talks about some of the reasons:
- Activist groups are hard to find. Fifteen years ago when I started going to these shows, the edges of every hall were packed with animal rights, environmental, vegan, women's rights and just about any progressive non-profit you could think of. They're gone, chased out by the high cost of space, the business-only mood of the visitors, or maybe they've just given up on us. This is a shame, they are an integral reason why our industry has succeeded and we need to support their continued participation.
- Today, virtually anyone or business is allowed to exhibit, this lack of quality lowers the standards for our whole industry. At Bio-Fach, Germanys international organic show, the guidelines are strict and you won't see as many barely clad bodies or products claiming to do things that are better left to magic or bad dreams. Bio-Fach has created an experience of quality that is so strong it lingers for days after you leave the show. Most people I know were eager to escape the Anaheim convention center as quickly as possible.
- The educational tract at Expo West is not too shabby, but what's missing is the political dialogue and debate that tackles the toughest challenges we face as an industry and a society. More on the impact of venture capital, small companies selling out to multi-nationals, lobbying for things other than those that benefit our bottom lines, whether to sell to Wal-Mart and Target, the impact of Whole Foods purchase of Wild Oats, to name a few.
I could go on, but you get the point – Joel has more details. Let me know what you think if you were there!
