Implemented features
- There are
post-integration-testphases for preparing and cleaning up integration tests.
Proposed features to implement (short term)
- A project should be allowed to have both unit tests and integration tests sitting next to each other.
- Directory structure:
- There's no need for introducing a third type of tests. Functional tests should be considered integration tests. If there's a need for more types of tests, it should be implemented by adding features to the surefire plugin to configure it in different
executionsbut the 2 phases to attach tests to will be
test(for unit tests) and
- Modify the surefire plugin to add a new
surefire:itgoal. See MSUREFIRE-50.
- Add new
<integrationTestSourceDirectory>to the POM model. See MNG-2009. Note: Does this need updating the minor version of the POM version?
- Add new phases for integration tests:
integration-test-compile. See MNG-2010
Open short-term questions
- Should it be
- Should the surefire plugin goal be
- Should we add a
integration-test-packagephase too?
- Do we add a new
itscope (or
integration-test)? (see MNG-2011)
Ideas for the future
- An alternative directory structure:
- Should we rename
src/testinto something more explicit like
src/test-unit? BTW the same question will arise for the lifecycle which is currently named
testeven though it's meant to be only for unit tests. Same for
Other issues/articles related to the testing strategy / testing best practices

Should we add new POM elements? We currently have <testSourceDirectory> for unit tests. Should we add <integrationTestSourceDirectory> and <functionalTestSourceDirectory>?
How about :
I know this would mean changing the POM structure a bit, but IMHO it would be more flexible, and might be better to do it now before we have a huge maven2 following.
2 reasons that I can think off top of my head:
- The above structure should make it easier to extend Test types.
- I have come across use cases (a few times now) where Eclipse project tree can have more than one source folder and where it makes little sense to factor out and create two project modules.
Is this a reasonable change - what do you think?
I consider that Cactus test on my ejb are unit test. Some, because done inside a container will consider it integration test even if a test affect only one ejb at a time. I think the line between unit/functional/integration is sometimes to thin to base the directory structure on it. Why not have a test directory with inside it a separation by type of test such as:
and so on. The surefire plugin could then call the plugin responsible for cactus, httpUnit....test. It makes the structure clear and simple and the possibility to add test easy.
I really like Rahul suggestion since the division of test can be so different from an one organisation to another. Some might want to separate their tests by frameworks, some might still divide their tests by type but want a way to decompose their junit in two phases of test, ... I think Maven should give some flexibility here and let the user decides. Maven should just has some predefined lifecycle phases for each kind of test and a set of test could be bind to a specific phase by adding a xml element like the one used to bind plugins to a phase.
In my mind, the main information that needs to be captured here is the project knowledge regarding acceptable test suite success rate for a successful build.
Since unit tests verify the semantics of code, much like the compiler verifies the syntax of code, all unit tests must pass at 100%, just as they must all compile. Integration tests, by definition, test more than one part of the system, and are not required to pass at 100% for the build to be considered successful. Most likely a release would not be performed until all the integration tests pass at 100%, in fact they might be coded early in the development cycle and then treated as exit criteria for the release.
So, I'd vote for something like the first approach:
project/ |_ src |_ main |_ test |_ java |_ resources |_ integ |_ java |_ resources
Then, I would use regular Java packaging to separate the test code for each different technology, such as JMeter, HttpUnit, and so on, if I felt that distinction was important. Perhaps I might prefer to split these by purpose instead, such as performance, web, and so on. The test technology separation doesn't seem to be a decision that Maven needs to be aware of, or something that Maven should try to enforce / standardize.
Two points I'd like to highlight...
From John R Fallows' comment above I agree to the statement that:
The test technology separation doesn't seem to be a decision that Maven needs to be aware of, or something that Maven should try to enforce / standardize.
From Alexandre Poitras' comment above it makes sense that:
Maven should just has some predefined lifecycle phases for each kind of test and a set of test could be bind to a specific phase by adding a xml element like the one used to bind plugins to a phase.
Testing Plugins (JUnit/Surefire/JMeter/HttpUnit) could be bound a test -> type (my comment above) with allowance for overrides if required. I believe this would allow Maven to treat any type of 'test' as a 'test' (no special handling) and delegate handling based on its type to the bound plugin(s).
Yeah but my concern is that a tool can be used for more then one type of test. For instance, junit is often used of course for unit testing but also for intregation testing (this is a common case if you use Spring framework). That's why I was proposing something similar to the plugin model but we could use your method for default values, easily overridable in the pom. This way the testing would be consistent with the pom global approach. The test type element would be like the project packaging element, it inferes default value about your tests but those values can be easily overrided by declaring some plugins and binding them to an execution phase. I think it would be a great solution not changing drasticly the pom format.
Here's a little example of what I mean :
*By the way, forget my comments about having a tool used for two types of test. I taught you were infering the test type from the tool, but I see now you actually meant test type-> tool. Anyway, what I just proposed still stands.
- let's say you want to override the default tool used for integration test
What do you thin?
- let's say you want to override the default tool used for integration test
I just thought I'd add to these comments the approach I'm currently using to perform integration tests with M2 as M2 is now. It may ensure that all angles are covered in any of your recommended approaches.
I have achieved integration testing (using both JunitEE/Cactus and JUnits calling remote interfaces) in M2 using a very simple lightweight POM for each discrete task/execution in the integration phase (i.e. bound to this phase) e.g.
+ application-root
pom.xml (parent pom)
now normal stuff follows e.g. :-
+ normal EAR
+ normal JAR(s)
+ normal WARs
+ test WAR (for JUnitEE or Cactus)
now follow's the M2 project modules to run the integration tests e.g. :-
+ runtests-integration
pom.xml (sub-parent pom, invoking child modules in the order below)
+ rebuild-database
pom.xml (antrun to rebuild DB schema)
+ start-container
pom.xml (antrun or cargo to start container )
+ runtests-serverside (runs junits needing server started as they invoke remote interfaces)
pom.xml (surefire:test only picking up tests ending in *ServerTest.java )
+ runtests-incontainer-tests
pom.xml (antrun for running JUnitEE or Cactus incontainer tests)
+ stop-container
pom.xml (antrun or cargo)
All plugins defined under 'runtests-integration' (and below) are bound to the integration-test phase
I found this approach also necessary, because you can only have one instance of the antRun plugin for the integration-test phase, therefore you can't use antrun, then surefire, then antrun again as the last antrun overrides the first if they are bound to the same phase.
I did want to use Cargo, but unfortunately there was no support for OC4J with an existing configuration.
I have the above 'runtests-integration' suite only execute if the M2 build profile is set to -Pintegrationtests. In this way developers can run a regular M2 build which just runs standalone JUnits, or specify the profile to run a fuller build. We have CruiseControl always running the integrations tests profile.
With m2.02 I should now convert the Antruns to Ant Plugins.
I'm hoping that when M2 supports integration tests better, I can migrate to the approved strategy, I know this approach is a slight misuse of M2, but this works right now, we have 2 large Applications (both EARs) that are built with M2 via CruiseControl, the above integration projects start the container run all the integration tests (with the 2nd EAR application even invoking the 1st EAR's services)
I have another M2 module in addition to those shown above that actually hold the integration tests :-
+ tests-serverside
pom.xml (JAR pom, building those JUnits needing server started)
The JUnits in this project follow two naming patterns :-
*ServerTest.java (JUnits needing server started as they invoke remote interfaces )
*JEETest.java (JUnits needing to run inside container via JUnitEE or cactus )
The above JAR could probably have been split into two separate JARs for each type.
The parent pom.xml overrides the default maven-surefire-plugin by excluding the following :-
such that these tests don't get run during the normal test phase. Just regular standalone *Test.java get run.
Hope this is useful
I have summarized testing strategies I found in the web here:
Don't forget to include support for integration testing of plugins.
This gets more complicated as the plugin has yet to be installed locally (and shouldn't be until it passes the tests)
Hey Pete - thanks for the Comment - you saved my day.
I've been looking for a way to get my complex integration tests up and running and the only way this was possible was to use the strategy employed by Pete: Have a subproject for each step in your actual integration test lifecylce.
Right now it's impossible to get your tests up and running in a single module due to the well known bugs. But even if all bugs were fixed it doesn't make a lot of sense with the maven 2 model for the simple reason that there are not enough lifecycle phases and they have the wrong names.
Complex integration tests require dozens of steps to set up and tear down the testing environment.
I would propose to make the lifecycle configurable or the ability to just switch it off and run a sequence of plugins like me good old ant file.
The summary can be found here : http://adminsight.de/articles/programming/integration-and-unit-test-strategies-with-maven2.html
As many people point it out, we want a layout similar to
But if the integration test directory is ismply called "integ" it will appear before the main directory in most IDE. The chosen name must be such as its comes after "test" in alphabetical order.
Any news on the separate directory integration-test strategy?
- I have noticed that lot of test gurus when talking about testing use "unit", "functional", and "scenario". Therefore, another possible alternative directory structure might be:
Alternatively, the integration might be removed with the assumption that a scenario test will cover integration tests.

well, i've wanted this helmet for a long time... i finally bought a new drz400sm which has been my naughty want for many years... well since i got the bike i always wanted, i figure why not upgrade the old trekker helmet to the variant... well i love it except for a couple things... first, the skirt around the bottom pushes really hard against my sides of my neck... it almost chokes me... kind of like when you stop the blood to your head to pass out... makes me feel very uneasy... i am not a steak neck either... i have a 17" neck, and i bought the xl... i have a 24" head... the rest of the helmet fit me as it should and it was wonderful... but the choking neck i couldn't live with... it broke my heart... but the other things that made it a little easier to send back is the fact that my fox main pro goggle CAN NOT fit... the padding in the helmet keeps the goggles so far away from my face it was crazy... (during the summer i like to remove the shield on my fly trekker helmet and run goggles, i get much better air flow and don't feel like i am breathing my exhale. hahaha) i also like to take the sun visor off and rock it that way for longer trips... easier on the neck and shoulders... the visor does not come off for riding purposes on the icon.... those 2 things alone is a no good for me... also, when you open the shield, your finger rubs the shield seal gasket pretty hard... i can see this becoming a problem over the long term.... some of the fitment of the front mouth surround were not attached and you could see light though it... i tried pushing it in and finessing it some, but it just kept bubbling out.... besides glue or an epoxy, it was not gonna be fixed.... so all in all, besides the head shape fitting me better, and me loving the "BUG" look of the helmet... it was a flop for me in every other field... sad, i was in total lust of the helmet.... i went with an AGV ax-8 evo DS instead and don't regret it one bit...Read All Reviews

Not the biggest backpack but perfect for carrying lunch/extra clothes whatever you need for a ride. I always take a towel, a few waters, and my gps with plenty of extra space. I use both on my enduro around town and on the trails with my quad and other bike. Could easily carry a laptop or something if you needed to. Best part of the pack is the straps. Others dig into your shoulders or are uncomfortable and these are great. Don't get too hot wearing it either. I like it so much I have considered buying another just so one is clean when I'm riding around town and the other I can leave dusty/dirty without getting my normal clothes messy. I would not hesitate to recommend this backpack to anyone.Read All Reviews

Thousands gather for Hamas rally
Tens of thousands of people are gathering for a rally in the Gaza strip to celebrate the 25th anniversary of Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, and the start of the first Palestinian uprising, or Intifada, against Israel in December 1987.
At least 200,000 Palestinians are expected to attend Saturday's rally, which will see exiled Hamas leader, Khaled Meshaal, address the crowd in his first ever visit to the territory.
Meshaal received a hero's welcome when he arrived in Gaza on Friday. Palestinians cheered and waved flags for the political leader, moving him to tears.
Meshaal is expected to unveil a future strategy for Hamas and talk of reconciliation with rival group, Fatah.
According to Al Jazeera, Hamas spokesman, Sami Abu Zuhri, has revealed: "Meshaal's speech will outline the priorities of the Hamas movement in the coming future, and especially the implementation of reconciliation (with Fatah)."
The recent conflict with Israel will feature heavily in Saturday's rally. A model M75 missile has been erected on the open-air stage to recall the rockets that were fired last month towards Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.
Local Fatah leaders are also due to attend the event.
Top Headlines
This has to be a long-awaited moment in history for the Palestinian people. My only hope is that they maintain some semblance of order and they keep their focus on the issues they intended to discuss. Their leadership is known for great support of the Palestinian people, so we can only hope the celebration is kept on a positive note rather than turning negative with chaos. I understand the Hamas' wishing to reconcile with the Fatah, but I pray it is for the good of Palestine and not geared towards a retaliation against Israel. If peace is to be found, and the Palestinians are to move forward as a state, they must shift their view of Israel as ally and not enemy. This is what God or Allah would want.

Designed with compactness in mind, micro 4/3 lenses go for the smallest size possible most of the time. But to achieve these dimensions, they sometimes have to compromise on image quality. In this review, we cover a wide range of standard lenses, both prime and zoom, and show that not all lenses are equal in terms of the trade-off between compactness and image quality.

Although most homeschoolers will consider a child to be in a certain grade, it is common for a student to be working at many levels other than his actual grade level. For example, a nine-year-old fourth grader might be doing sixth grade math and third grade language arts. In this way, homeschooling offers the wonderful benefit of tailoring a child's education to his academic needs and strengths, allowing him to take more time in difficult subjects or progress to the next level of a subject that has become too easy, even in the middle of the school year.
Scope and sequence charts, offering a detailed list of what a child typically learns at each grade level, are available in different forms and from a variety of publishers. While these publications can be very helpful as a guide, it is not necessary to follow them exactly. Instead, you might want to consider your children's school years with broader divisions, such as those below, and use the charts as a place to get ideas and track progress.
Preschool Do's and Don'ts
If you have had the wonderful privilege of deciding to homeschool before your child reaches school age (maybe even before he was born!), you might be anxious and excited to get started as soon as possible. That's great! There are many things you can begin doing right now that will lay a strong foundation for your child's school years.
DO – Pay attention to your preschooler. Get to know his learning styles. (See Curriculum section for more information.) Identify his strengths and weaknesses.
DO – Spend time in the library. Check out books about anything in which your preschooler is interested at the moment. Read aloud as much as possible. Make those books come alive by using voice inflections, pointing out the illustrations, talking about the story, and asking follow-up questions.
DO – Explore and discover with your preschooler. Be "interruptible" enough to look at the cool bug he found. Go for long walks or just sit in the park and talk about what you see. Set an example for observing the world around you.
DO – Begin now to establish discipline. Teach your child how to sit still, be polite, wait, obey, listen, and be quiet at the appropriate times. If discipline is not established early it will not be easily attainable in the older years.
DON'T – Establish a rigorous school schedule for your preschooler.
DON'T – Emphasize reading and writing or sitting at a desk for long periods of time.
DON'T – Expect too much of your preschooler.
Kindergarten: Easy Does It
Kindergarten is not required by Colorado law and not every five-year-old is ready to sit at a desk for even an hour each day. Be sensitive to the needs and abilities of your kindergartner.
If your child is ready and excited to start school, start a very basic phonics program and progress as slowly as needed. Add to this some fun math activities like playing games, sorting and grouping, charting and graphing, and counting. Continue to read aloud regularly remembering to read nonfiction as well as fiction. Don't overdo it! Kindergarten may take only an hour a day and this hour could be split into smaller segments throughout the day.
If you have a child who has no desire for school, consider waiting to start formal schooling. During this time of waiting, there might be some character traits or behaviors you could work on with him. There is wisdom in asking, "What skills does he need in order to start school?" Work on equipping your child with those skills before starting school.
Whether he is ready for academics or not, one of the best ways to teach a child is to invite him to work alongside you as you go through your day. Cooking, sorting laundry, emptying the dishwasher, and putting toys away can be wonderful educational moments.
First Grade: Laying a Firm Foundation
First grade is a good time to focus on foundational reading and math skills. A good phonics program is a must. It is also a good time to incorporate a manipulative-based math program that thoroughly covers beginning math skills. Handwriting can be started, but only if the child seems ready. Science, history, and geography can be taught using projects, field trips, and library books. Make sure these subjects are taught at an appropriate level. It would be a mistake to expect a first grader to comprehend world history or biology. Instead, choose a few interesting people and events from history to learn about and two or three simple scientific concepts to explore over the course of the year. It is important to instill into a first grader a positive attitude toward learning.
Elementary Grades: Exploration and Discovery
Grades two through five can be exciting years as a student discovers the world. Continue individualized language arts and math studies. Develop a greater emphasis on science, history and geography by using the library and the myriad of resource providers able to supply creative ideas, lesson plans and unit studies which make these subjects come alive for your student.
It is not too early to start learning computer and keyboarding skills. If your child is ready and shows interest, get her started with some educational software.
Junior High: Transition
Junior high students are entering that time between childhood and adulthood. Be especially sensitive to your child's needs and emotions during this time. Overloading a young teen who is floundering emotionally with a mountain of school work can be disastrous. Equally dangerous is inadequate challenge or too much freedom.
Academically, junior high is a transition to high school. Now is the time to make sure learning "gaps" are filled. Good study and test-taking skills are necessary. Writing skills need to be honed. It is time to start charting a course of study for high school and to make sure your student is going to be ready.
Emotionally, the junior high student needs support, encouragement, and direction. The older student who might be able to work more independently still needs attention, a listening ear, available help, and lots of love.
High School
The decision to continue, or to begin, homeschooling through high school is one that requires serious consideration. Choices involving classes, career goals, college preparation, work, volunteer experience, driver's training, and social development will all affect your young person's entrance into adulthood.
Since the essence of home education is individualized instruction, CHEC cannot outline one perfect course of study for your high school student. Deciding upon the best course of study will involve research and multiple decisions. Class choices should be made with consideration of your student's long-term goals, interests, and abilities.
Once you start homeschooling your high school student, be prepared to follow it through! In the elementary years you may have homeschooled on the theory, "If it doesn't work out she can go back to public school next year." That is not necessarily true in high school. The acceptance of homeschool credits has varied from district to district in Colorado (a home-ruled state), and you cannot assume that your local public high school will accept your student's work without question. The homeschool law was amended in 2000 to require schools to accept homeschool credits, but this law is very new and has not been tried and tested yet. Private schools are usually more accepting of homeschool credits if re-entry into a traditional school becomes necessary.
If homeschooling is begun during the high school years due to a dissatisfaction with the previous school situation, parents may have additional challenges to consider. Social problems can take time to overcome, especially if rebellion is involved. Take whatever time is necessary to address problems with your child's heart and attitude. Make it your highest priority. Academic problems are more easily addressed when godly attitudes and relationships are restored.
Even if you have homeschooled for many years and feel fairly comfortable with the way you have always done things, ninth grade is still a time to take a deep breath and dive back into the research mode. Start with "A Comprehensive Guide to Home Education in Colorado", then expand your reading with additional supplemental books and resources. This is the home stretch; plan to finish strong!
Taking a Child Out of School
A child who has been in a traditional school for a period of time is going to have different needs than the one who has been homeschooled exclusively.
The reason you removed your child from a traditional school setting will affect the curriculum choices you make. If you have taken him out of school because he is struggling academically, be careful not to duplicate the curriculum (along with the problems) at home. Carefully evaluate his learning styles and consider a different teaching approach. Consider having him tested or evaluated. Test and evaluation results can be valuable tools in determining a course of study. Each child's special needs whether developmental disabilities, physical limitations, or giftedness need to be taken carefully into consideration when choosing curriculum and setting up a program.
If you take a child out of school because he is not being challenged academically, beef up his program by bumping him up to his ability level or expanding his work in a favorite subject.
If your child is coming home because of behavioral or social problems, you might need to temporarily back off academically and can concentrate on relationships and character. Meaningful learning cannot take place until your child's heart is willing and receptive.
No matter what your reasons for bringing your children home, transition from traditional schooling to homeschooling is important. Prayerfully consider: Do you need to take some time off before your official first day? Do you need to ease into homeschooling little by little or start everything at once? Have you taken ample time to communicate with your children why you are doing this, what it is going to look like, and what is expected of them? Have you and your spouse talked through how life is going to be different now? Answering questions like these will help to diffuse some of the stress of taking a child out of school.

So comfy; however, These jeans are so soft and so comfortable. I love the way they fit; however, size down they run large. The jeans are too destroyed for my liking. I had to return them unfortunately. I am still in search of a similar pair. February 20, 2014
Destroyed I loved the fit of these pants but it was too destroyed for my liking. My butt looked amazing and the fit was perfect. I just hate really destroyed jeans and these were too much. Nothing to do with the pants, just a preference. January 4, 2014
Comfy, but too big These are great jeans. Soft and comfy and the mid rise hides my love handles, but doesn't go up to my belly button thankfully! My only problem with them is that they run a whole size too big. I will be buying them in a smaller size also, since I love them so much! December 14, 2013
Amazing jeans These jeans are so soft and comfortable!! Amazing fit! November 6, 2013
Perfect jeans These are my absolute favorite jeans yet. They are the perfect cut, length, fit and color. I'm 5ft 3 126 and my usual size 2 is a bit too big. Because of the mid rise they stay in so much better. I would recommend these to anyone! If you're between sizes go down! October 17, 2013

From "Paul to lead new information sharing strategy effort" by Jason Miller on FederalNewsRadio.com:
"The National Strategy for Information Sharing is but three years old - not that old when it comes to federal documents.
"But changes in technology, culture and conditions necessitate not only an update, but an expansion.
"'We want to build on the current document, and update it and sketch a target end vision for the Information Sharing Environment and strategies for realizing it,' said Kshemendra Paul, the program manager for the Information Sharing Environment (PM-ISE) in an exclusive interview with Federal News Radio.
"Paul said he will begin working on the document this fall through an interagency process.
"He adds that the White House has instructed him to expand his view to look at the totality of terrorism information sharing across all levels of government, not just focus on sharing with the state, local and tribal communities.
"Paul says this is a lesson learned from the Dec. 25 attempted terrorist attack.
"The national strategy is one of five priorities Paul is working on over the next year.
"Only a month into his tenure as the PM-ISE, Paul is using his office's annual report to Congress as a menu of future opportunities. The report details the accomplishments and shortcomings of the ISE in 2009."

Mark Williams with nothing to do is not a good thing.
So the San Clemente resident, a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast, opened Montgomery Motorcycle Co., specializing in vintage bikes made in the 1920s to 1970s.
Williams says his aim is to stock classics anyone can afford. But vintage bikes always need parts and experienced mechanics, so he also offers repair, restoration and routine maintenance, along with safety gear such as helmets, gloves and outer wear like James Dean or Steve McQueen would have used.
"There are some vintage bikes available for well over $100,000," Williams said. "We can get those, but mainly we are going to have bikes where anyone can walk in and leave riding a bike that's just right for them."
So, what are the three most important things to consider when buying a vintage motorcycle?
• First, Williams says, you have to be ready to put up with a little inconvenience for a lot of fun. The need for repairs can come with little or no warning. It doesn't always mean a lot of expense, but you do have to be ready for it.
• Second, make sure the brand of vintage bike you are interested in has good parts availability, Williams says.
• Third, make sure the bike you want matches the type of riding you want to do. Many vintage bikes were not built for freeway speeds, and even if they are, they can take longer than the length of the onramp to get there.
Williams started as a general contractor in Los Angeles, quickly becoming known for quality work delivered on time and on budget. He remembers a pivotal moment after the Northridge earthquake in 1994 when a small office renovation on the Paramount Studios lot turned into a several-million-dollar repair.
It started him down the path of building the Baja California studio lot and pool for the 1997 blockbuster movie "Titanic." Williams completed the project in 100 days with 1,000 men working 24 hours a day in what was then the most expensive movie ever made, at $200 million. The work included sound stages and a giant pool at the water's edge where the ocean liner sank in the movie. Williams built not only the film's Titanic but everything inside it.
"We had to get dynamite to blast out the pool from a mining company in another part of Mexico," Williams said. "When it got to us in Baja, half of it was missing, but we got it done."
Williams and a partner continued with large-scale works in and around Los Angeles until a project at a large university ended up in court over nonpayment of several million dollars in signed change orders, Williams said.
After several years of battling it out, he decided it would be more productive to do something else, though he didn't know what it would be. After a month of nothing to do but hang out in the garage tinkering with the family's motorcycles, he rented a small commercial space at the south end of San Clemente.

Eating with the seasons: Summer produce picks
By Jessica, Pure Matters
When summer starts heating up, I stop wanting to turn on my oven. Luckily, produce is so bountiful and flavorful throughout the season that I barely have to. To me, the dog days mean smoothies, sandwiches and salads, and it's my healthiest time of the year. Read on for tips for selecting, storing and using my seasonal produce picks, and give one of my favorite summertime salads a spin.
These fruits (yes, they're fruits) hit their peak in the summer months, and while a ripe beefsteak can liven up any sandwich or salad, don't overlook heirlooms, which hit the farmer's market hard in the summertime and have a more complex flavor than their supermarket counterparts. When selecting tomatoes, look for firm, blemish-free skin. Store them on the countertop or windowsill – the refrigerator compromises their flavor and texture.
Okra is one of those vegetables that gets a bad rap, and in my humble opinion, a largely undeserved one. Okra lends itself well to high-heat cooking methods, like deep-frying, sautéeing or even grilling. And, in keeping with my "raw" theme, it is unbelievably delicious pickled. When buying, look for firm, bright green pods. Store okra in the refrigerator and use within a couple of days, or freeze for later.
Confession time: sometimes, nay, often, I eat half of an avocado for breakfast all by itself. That's how much I love avocados. In addition to being heart-healthy and chock-full of omega-3s, these babies have a unique buttery flavor and smooth texture that can't be found in any other fruit (yes, it's a fruit). Unripe avocados should be left at room temperature until ready to eat, after which time they can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
While there are few things better than corn on the cob fresh off the grill in the summertime, ripe sweet corn is also delicious raw, and a great addition to salsas and bean salads. When buying, look for bright green husks, and peel them back a little bit to make sure that the kernels are plump. Store in the refrigerator, in their husks.
I love how versatile and refreshing cucumbers are. Blend them up with fruits or veggies for smoothies (they're delicious with watermelon or avocados), slice and dice them for salads, or cut them into thin rounds to top sandwiches. When buying, make sure they're firm throughout and blemish-free, and store in the refrigerator wrapped in plastic for up to a week after buying.
While bell peppers are available year-round at the supermarket, they're at their tastiest and most affordable in the summertime. While they're great on the grill, I love them in salads, and find them much more flavorful on a crudité platter than celery and carrots. When buying, look for firm, blemish-free skin and bright color. Bell peppers can be stored in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
When it comes to fruit, I'm a picky eater. While the more savory types like avocado and tomatoes are foods I enjoy nearly daily, eating the sweeter varieties is something I struggle with. Don't even come near me with a cantaloupe or nectarine. Seriously. Berries, though, are fruits I actually like, be them raw, in smoothies or yogurt parfaits, or less healthfully, in summer pies. When buying, look for a bright, uniform color and no obvious signs of trauma or mold. Berries can be stored in the refrigerator for 2-3 days or frozen. Frozen berries blended with yogurt makes an awesome light breakfast or afternoon snack.
There's something so sweetly nostalgic about a ripe, juicy slice of watermelon on a hot summer day. It's like being a sticky-fingered six year old all over again. I love watermelon raw or in smoothies, and because I hate wasting anything even remotely edible, I'm a big fan of pickled watermelon rinds. If you want to dress up your next outdoor barbecue or picnic, try this easy, more savory preparation of watermelon:
Watermelon and Feta Salad
Serves 6-8
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, chopped
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
2 pounds watermelon, cubed and seeded
8 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together salt, sugar, mint and vinegar. Let sit until salt and sugar are completely dissolved, about 15 minutes.
2. In a large mixing bowl, toss watermelon with dressing. Top with crumbled feta cheese, and serve immediately.

OXFORD, Ohio - The Miami University volleyball team came into Friday's match having won four of its past five, but Akron was able to cool off the RedHawks with a 3-0 (25-16, 25-17, 25-21) win. Miami is now 9-17 overall and 4-9 in the Mid-American Conference. The Zips improve to 15-10 overall and 8-5 in the MAC.
Akron jumped to a 6-1 lead to begin set one. Kills from Jenny Ingle, Meg Riley and Lisa Treadway cut the deficit to two at 4-6, the Zips answered with an 8-3 run to make it 14-7. Ingle and Madison Dodd would each record kills, but Akron would eventually push the lead as large as 10 at 22-12. That turned out to be enough as the Zips took the first set, 25-16.
Ingle and Chelsea Visk each had two kills apiece as the teams split the first 10 points of set two. Tied at five, Akron would go on a 10-4 run to take control of the set at 15-9. Treadway ended the run with a kill off of Amy Kendall's assist. The Zips answered right back with a 6-2 run that made it 21-12. Riley and Ingle would team up on a nice block, while Ingle and Dodd each put down kills, but Akron went on to capture a 25-17 victory.
Trailing 3-5 in set three, a 7-3 run that featured four blocks, including a solo block by Christina Menche gave Miami a 10-8 advantage. The Zips responded with a 5-1 run to take the lead back at 13-11. Another block by the RedHawks, this time from Visk and Menche would help Miami go back in front, 14-13, but Akron would eventually take a 20-16 lead. Ingle, Visk and Menche each put down kills as part of a 5-1 run that tied the set at 21. The Zips then scored the next four in a row to take the set, 25-21, and earn a straight-set win.
Ingle led the RedHawks with seven kills and a .438 hitting percentage. Kendall had a double-double with 15 assists and a team-leading 10 digs. Miami out-blocked Akron, 10-4, for the match, but was harmed by 13 service errors.
The RedHawks return to action on Saturday when they host Buffalo at 5 p.m. The match can be seen live on Miami All-Access.

10/31/13 Lindsay Lohan Back on the Sauce?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb

Whether it's surgery, better health regimens, or Photoshop, celebrities are a lot more well-preserved than they used to be. It's to the point where we forget just how old some of these people are. Check out some surprising facts that'll force it to sink in for you . . .
At 52, George Clooney is a year older than Wilford Brimley was when "Cocoon" was released.
At 71, Harrison Ford is two years older than Burgess Meredith was when "Rocky" came out.
At 65, Samuel L. Jackson is two years younger than Jack Lemmon was when he did "Grumpy Old Men".
At 59, Denzel Washington is a year younger than Andy Griffith was when "Matlock" premiered.
At 54, Tom Cruise is the same age as Tommy Lee Jones when he did "Men In Black".
At 51, Demi Moore is the same age as Rue McClanahan when "The Golden Girls" debuted.
Celebrity chef GUY FIERI got into a wicked fight with his HAIRDRESSER after they landed at the airport in San Francisco. Guy was inside an SUV and the hairdresser was on the outside. He was throwing punches at Guy through the open door . . . swearing and CRYING the whole time. Guy was throwing kicks back at him. A source says it was just a drunk thing that escalated, and they're fine now.
LINDSAY LOHAN has been hitting clubs again. And while nobody's caught her drinking yet, people close to her say she has definitely slid back into old habits. One source saw Lindsay at a party in L.A. last week, and says, quote, "She was definitely drinking alcohol. She got increasingly sloppy as the hours went on. At one point Lindsay was literally hanging on to a couple of her friends, like they were holding her up."
The paparazzi asked CONRAD MURRAY how MICHAEL JACKSON would feel about people blaming him for Michael's death . . . and he had the STONES to say that Michael would be, quote, "absolutely appalled." He also said that Michael would probably tell all his fans who are judging Murray to, quote, "take a look in the mirror."

LADY GAGA has been named "Glamour" magazine's Woman of the Year. She tells the magazine she's, quote, "Not conventionally beautiful" . . . but she adds, quote, "I've always been OK with that. I'm not a supermodel. That's not what I do. What I do is music.
A new biography on JACK NICHOLSON that hit stores yesterday claims that Jack and MERYL STREEP were DOING IT on the set of the 1987 movie "Ironweed". BIG TIME. The book says, quote, "Often during shooting, his Winnebago seemed to be balanced on four overworked Slinkys." The book also quotes an old newspaper gossip item from 1987 that said, quote, "Whatever is going on inside that Winnebago it's starting to get out of hand, to the point where it's embarrassing a lot of people on the set"
CHRIS BROWN is going to rehab. His rep says, quote, "His goal is to gain focus and insight into his past and recent behavior, enabling him to continue the pursuit of his life and his career from a healthier vantage point."
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are reportedly living apart in what's being called a trial separation. The two haven't been seen in public in more than two months and sources say Jada recently moved in with her brother. The couple is seeing how being separated works out and it might be permanent.
Kanye West is lobbying to get Kim Kardashian her first Vogue cover. He said, "There's no way Kim Kardashian shouldn't be on the cover of Vogue. She's like the most intriguing woman right now." He went on, "And collectively, we're the most influential with clothing. No one is looking at what [Barack Obama] is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a [bikini] pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day."

MILEY CYRUS says it was easier to be naked during the making of her "Wrecking Ball" video than it was to cry . . . because she feels more vulnerable crying. She also says the sledgehammer-licking just sort of happened because the director told her to, quote, "look like you're in love with it."
In a radio interview yesterday, KANYE WEST said there will be FIGHTER JETS at his wedding. He also said he and KIM KARDASHIAN haven't decided whether to televise it. But if they do he says, quote, "I would take as much as possible . . . because you know me and Kim are in the exploitation business. We get paid to exploit ourselves."
DR. CONRAD MURRAY was released from prison at 12:01 A.M. yesterday morning, after serving two years of a four-year sentence. His attorney said he was, quote, "elated" to be out. And his first stop was IN-N-OUT BURGER. He rolled in just before 1:00 A.M.
In his new autobiography, "Undisputed Truth", MIKE TYSON talks about how BRAD PITT once begged him not to beat his ass. It happened about a quarter-century ago, when Brad was messing around with Tyson's ex, ROBIN GIVENS. Tyson showed up at Robin's house, and Brad was already there. He claims Brad pleaded with him, saying, quote, "Dude, don't strike me."
CHRIS BROWN was released from a D.C. prison yesterday, after spending the night in lockup for allegedly punching a man. Brown's felony assault charge was reduced to a misdemeanor, and he pleaded not guilty. So did a bodyguard who was also arrested for hitting the guy.

OLIVIA WILDE and JASON SUDEIKIS are expecting their first child. A source says, quote, "They are incredibly happy. They're very excited to welcome a new member into their family."
Just because JUSTIN BIEBER is in between girlfriends, that doesn't mean he's not getting any. A Panamanian prostitute told a local newspaper that Justin sampled her talents in Panama City earlier this month.
Last week I told you ORLANDO BLOOM and MIRANDA KERR have split up after three years of marriage. Now, there are rumors that Miranda's obsession with JUSTIN BIEBER may have had something to do with it. They met at a party last year and spent HOURS together. Orlando wasn't happy.
CHRIS BROWN was arrested yesterday in Washington, D.C. for allegedly punching a guy in the face after he tried to photobomb a picture Chris was taking with two female fans. Chris reportedly said, quote, "I'm not into this gay [crap]. I'm into boxing." Then he popped the guy in the face, and so did his bodyguard.
At least three US publishers are locked in a battle for the rights to Angelina Jolie's autobiography, with at least $48 million already on the table. A publishing insider confirmed, "Whoever gets her will be sitting on a gold mine. Her book is guaranteed to top the bestseller lists in virtually every country on the planet and even an advance of that size would be recouped within weeks." Angelina says she's ready to tell everything, and believes that "the time is now right."

MARY MCCORMACK kicked her husband out of their house on Sunday after she found out he was messing around with KATHARINE MCPHEE. Michael Morris knew the photos were being shopped around, and he actually tried to buy them himself. But he was outbid by TMZ. So he fessed up to Mary, and she sent him packing. Katharine has been separated from her husband for six months, but a source says she's still, quote, "SO embarrassed she was caught" messing around with Morris.
PAULY D'S baby-mama claims she has texts from Pauly in which he tried to get her to abort the baby that was conceived during their Vegas fling. But yesterday Pauly said, quote, "Sometimes in life things aren't planned and they may even scare you at first, but they end up being a blessing."
ROBIN THICKE shared some advice he once got from his father, sitcom legend ALAN THICKE. Robin was staring at a pretty girl, and Alan told him, quote, "What if there's a prettier girl sitting two tables away? Now she's not going to feel special."
BRAD PITT has reportedly been STINKING lately, because he's given up using soap. He feels that it's full of toxins and it's both bad for the planet and speeds up the aging process. Instead he uses, quote, "a homemade concoction of lemons, water and apple cider vinegar."
Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr are over as husband and wife. The couple has split after three years of marriage. A rep for Bloom said. "In a joint statement, Orlando Bloom and Miranda Kerr have announced that they have been amicably separated for the past few months. After six years together, they have recently decided to formalize their separation." The two began dating in 2007 and were married in July 2010. Kerr gave birth to their son, Flynn, on Jan. 6, 2011.

Marseille have reached an agreement in principle to sign Evian defender Brice Dja Djedje.
Ivory Coast international Dja Djedje is poised to move to the Stade Velodrome on a four and a half-year deal.
The transfer will see 26-year-old Marseille defender Kassim Abdallah join struggling Evian, who sit 17th in Ligue 1 with 21 points from 22 games.
A statement on Marseille's website read: "Olympique de Marseille and Evian Thonon Galliard have reached an agreement in principle for the transfer of Brice Dja Djedje.
"The arrival of the 23-year-old Ivorian defender will be formalised on Wednesday after the player's medical examination.
"Brice Dja Djedje joins OM for a period of four and a half years."
Dja Djedje moved to Evian in 2010 after progressing through the youth ranks at Paris Saint-Germain.
The 23-year-old has caught the eye with his performances for Pascal Dupraz's side over the past two seasons, scoring in May's 3-2 Coupe de France final defeat against Bordeaux.

Safety and durability are important for homes with children. A driveway basketball hoop should probably be mounted above a dent-resistant 24-gauge steel door. Ironically, a lower number steel gauge means the metal is stronger. 25-gauge steel is thinner than 24-gauge steel.
Also, look for a garage door with pinch-resistant sectional design so little fingers won't be caught between slats as the door rolls shut. Replace any garage door opener that predates 1992. It may not have modern sensors that stop the door when an object gets in the way.

The 2014 Dodge Charger is offered in SE, SXT, Redline, R/T and SRT8 trims, with SXT Plus, R/T Plus, R/T Road & Track and R/T Max packages also available.
Charger SE models come with a 292-horsepower, 3.6L Pentastar V6 and 5-speed automatic transmission, while an 8-speed automatic is available. All SXT models include the V6 and 8-speed automatic, while the R/T models channel Dodge's muscle-car past, stepping up to a 370 hp, 5.7L Hemi V8 plus lots of additional performance improvements like a performance-tuned suspension, sport exhaust system, performance brakes, sport seats, and HID headlamps. At the top of the lineup, Charger SRT8 models are true high-performance cars, with massive 6.4-liter Hemi V8 engines making 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.
The adaptive damping system that's offered in SRT8 model can quickly adjust damper firmness and allows Auto, Sport and Track modes, with the Auto mode taking into consideration a wide range of variables related to the conditions and how the vehicle is driven.
A special "Super Bee" model of the SRT8 looks back to Dodge's muscle-car past and includes a helmeted bee mascot on a Gloss Black split-crosshair grille, along with special hood graphics, side-sill cladding, black decklid stripes and one of three different retro paint schemes: Bright White Clear Coat, Pitch Black Clear Coat or TorRed Clear Coat. All SRT8 models also include Performance Pages readouts to run your own acceleration times and braking-distance checks and monitor G-forces.
Base Charger SE models are focused around a low base price and include Keyless Enter-N-Go, push-button start, a power driver's seat, air conditioning, 17-inch alloy wheels, other power accessories, and a Uconnect 4.3-inch touch screen. SXT models add dual-zone automatic climate control, a voice-command Uconnect interface with 8.4-inch touch screen and Bluetooth connectivity, leather trim for the steering wheel and shift knob, a front overhead console, a HomeLink garage-door opener, heated front seats, heated power mirrors, and an Alpine premium audio system with six speakers and 276 watts.
Stepping up the R/T puts the Hemi V8 under the hood, of course, but it also adds HID headlamps and sport seats. Plus packages for both the SXT and R/T add rear heated seats, chrome-clad aluminum wheels, Nappa leather seating, heated-and-cooled cupholders, a security alarm, and additional LED lighting.
R/T Road and Track models get a more aggressive look, with a black honeycomb grille with matte-black surround, plus 20-inch chrome-clad wheels, a rear spoiler, a performance axle ratio, die-cast zinc paddle-shifters, heated and ventilated performance seats, power adjustable pedals and steering column, driver's seat memory settings and a performance engine controller. The R/T Max package adds to the Plus models a host of active-safety features (adaptive cruise control, Forward Collision Warning, Blind-spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Path, ParkSense rear park assist and a ParkView rear backup camera) as well as smart headlamps, rain-sensing wipers, a heated steering wheel and the "Beats by Dre" audio system.
A Harman/Kardon 900-watt premium audio system is available only on the SRT. It comes with a whopping 19-speakers and a subwoofer.

Namdrol: Buddhist Philosophy and tenet systems is pretty much a dry hump. It does not lead anywhere. In the end it is merely dry intellectualization divorced from personal experience.
It certainly can be 'dry' and 'divorced from personal experience', but it need not be that way. For example, the famous bodhi experience of Je Tsongkhapa came after much pondering on a passage in a Buddhapalita(?) shastra.
This intellectual study can be useful, even essential, when it comes time to teach intellectuals. Then all that mental content can be displayed for their benefit, to keep them attracted to the buddhadharma until a deeper insight is gained.
After all, it seems too goofy to think that Nagarjuna, Chandrakirti, Shantideva et al were wasting their and our time.

Successful applicants may receive up to $8,000 in direct expenses; mentors may receive up to $4000 in direct expenses. Direct expenses may include academic year buyouts at the full buyout rate, summer salary, or research expenses. Additional funding may be requested for funding agency visits.

Help! USB flash drive suddenly became write-protected
by Lee Koo (ADMIN) - 5/10/13 3:45 PM
Help! USB flash drive suddenly became write-protected
I have a 64GB USB flash drive that suddenly went "write-protected" (read only). It has no tiny little switch to unprotect it, but seeing as there really wasn't anything critical to be lost, I decided that a simple reformat would fix it up. Unfortunately, W7 can't format it because it's write-protected. The error message says to undo the write protection before formatting (starting to look like an old "Catch-22" scenario). I bought it on eBay from China and can't identify the manufacturer, so there is no help there.
I scoured the Internet to find what I was sure would be a simple solution. I've tried virtually every suggestion and freeware tool that numerous Google searches have proffered. My drive is still unusable and to my surprise, it turns out that there are quite a lot of us out there getting increasingly frustrated with the same problem. Short of smashing the drive with a hammer, I don't see how else to end this dilemma.
Frankly, you are my last resort. Unless some genius out there has a solution that actually works, I'll definitely resort to using a hammer. If it comes to that, I bet I will even smash it with relish. That's how frustrating this seemingly simple problem has become for me.
Anyhow, thanks in advance for any help you can hook me up with.
