I have a birthday coming up in a couple of weeks and if you want to be really nice to me you could contact me about your experiences (and pictures) of old
The Truckers' league included the Raleigh Red Birds, the Charlotte Hornets, the Greensboro Farmers, the Wilmington Sailors and the Durham Bulls.
I haven't dug through old issues to see why yet, but the Truckers only played for one year.
The city returned to baseball with the Eastern Carolina League in 1908, then bowed out until 1937 when they found success and moderate longevity as the Bears with the Coastal Plain League. By now
One of those players from 1940—Charles Whitaker, who led the team in batting at .344, is still living, so far as I can tell. When he was a player he lived in town, on North Craven Street.
We had some good years—we took championships in '38, '50 and '51.
Our opponents during those years had some odd names: the Goldsboro Goldbugs, the Greenville Greenies, the Snow Hill Billies and the Wilson Tobs among them.
The league disbanded in 1952.

Comments On Mar 18, 2014:Seems to be a good kit. The only thing that kept it from getting 5 stars was the heads of the nipples in this kit have a slot for a flat screwdriver instead of an allen hex drive found on the stock nipples (and the Tusk spoke kit I bought more recently). I like the allen drive better for properly torquing the spokes.

Comments On Dec 14, 2013:I really like these spokes. Their stainless steel not aluminium which is good to me. Plus they don't cost a fortune like some others. I would buy again.

Comments On Aug 22, 2013:I bought these before reading all the reviews!!! the nipples are horrible they have a flat head that will strip and create spurs. Also the diameter of the nipple is larger than a multi size spoke tool will fit on. just put these on my bike last night so not sure how they will hold up.

Comments On Aug 01, 2013:Restoring bike, 1/2 spokes frozen and loose. Bought thee for about 1/2 of OEM. Laced into stock hub and wheel easily, and they're much heavier than stock Suzuki spokes. Killer deal...haven't loosened yet in several rides...

The biggest threat to America, and the human race for that matter, is the human race itself. There are too many of us, causing too much damage in too many ways. And usually not in the name of religion. Usually in the name of "progress."
I'm lost, here. What threat is posed to America in the name of "progress?" I see war profiteers, mining companies, hedge fund managers, dog food importers, big box retailers, investment bankers, insurance executives and other billionaires treating this country like a joint of beef at a medieval feast. None of them have trashed this country in the name of progress; all have done so in the name of profits and exaltation of the "free market."
I won't disagree with you that those are all bad influences. I guess by progress, I was talking about how the human race continually grows and consumes the resources of the earth to support that growth in an unsustainable, unhealthy manner, and yet this growth is rarely questioned. When a family has their 4th child, it is generally celebrated by humans, nobody asks the parents: "oh, the human race is overpopulating the earth and we're running out of resources, are you sure it was a good idea to have another child?" And this is generally true of most human activities involving expansion of the species. If you don't think that the the human race is a problem, and a threat to itself, we can agree to disagree. The billionaire's and the free market are an easy target, especially these days. But those billionaire's war profiteers and investment bankers are people themselves, not just influences.

Customer Raves & Reviews
This invitation is beautiful. Looks exactly as it does in the picture. I customized it using my colors and it came out great. I would recommend purchasing a band the put around it to hold it together. Very happy with magnet street. I purchased our save the dates and also invitations from them and they were both perfect.
Beautiful Save the Date
We loved everything about the process and the final product. We really enjoyed using the design tool to plan the look of our save the dates. It was great to be able to play with different colors and fonts. The final product was beautiful, and very high quality. Every thing arrived on time as promised. I would recommend them to anyone and would use them again in the future.
Everything was SPOT on!!
Great service, great choices for cards and my FAVORITE part was that the colors were 100% customized. They shipped and arrived ahead of schedule and came to me with gorgeous presentation and a look book for the invitations as well. All around - EXCELLENT! :)
Love this magnet :)
I ordered this for our save the dates and the magnet came out great! I think I tried to fit too many things in the writing so I would suggest spacing it out like it is in the sample for the best quality. I love the magnets though! :)
Wonderful save the dates
I made save the date magnets and they turned out beautiful! I was able to find colors and designs that were a perfect match to our wedding theme. My order arrived promptly and was packaged carefully. I was very impressed with the high quality of the product and how clear the picture and the text appeared. I would definitely recommend this website to my friends!

Many of us are keen on personalizing things. Accessories like bags, bracelets, necklaces, and wallets are just some of the most common things to be customized; but now, the trend has taken its route into water bottles. It is not a surprise since water bottles are a staple and are a very important thing to bring in order to stay hydrated.
You might wonder – why customize when you can just buy a bottle of water in a nearby convenience store? This way of thinking might make sense a little bit at first, but ponder further enough and you will realize that customized water bottles have more benefits than one.
Benefits of Customizing Your Water Container
- You will accumulate savings in the long run.
Even if you buy the most expensive water bottle there is, you will still be able to save. Buying a custom water bottle will only take once, and you get to keep and use it for a long time; whereas buying a bottled water constantly will just make you spend every day.
- You get to help Mother Earth!
The issue of plastic disposal has been a long time problem for conservationists and nature advocates alike. Since plastic is a non-biodegradable by-product, it cannot be easily disposed of and the only thing that will work best is to recycle it.
Custom water bottles may appear to be a hip trend or fad, but buying the recycled ones will help lessen plastic wastes – it's like hitting two birds in one stone.
Apart from these important two benefits, you also get to enjoy the fact that you have your water bottle personalized. Making a statement is something most of us want to achieve after all. If you wish to get your own customized water bottles, visit lovecustomwaterbottles.com and avail of one for yourself, or for the whole family.

Best Uses
Comments about Finish Line Cross Country Lube:
This should be an essential part of your bike maintenance kit. It goes on easy, lasts a long time through all weather conditions, doesn't gunk up, and cleans off easily. It protects your chain and you can feel the difference as you ride!
Comments about Finish Line Cross Country Lube:
I never understood why a wet lube was marketed as good in muddy conditions... Rain, maybe, but a lube of this viscosity only attracts dirt and grime, therefore accelerating chain wear.
I've used this product on very rainy road rides and races. It does aid in shifting over the period of the ride, but the chain (and the rear wheel) requires a full clean immediately after the event. It splatters and coats everything. A mess!
Tried it in one particularly muddy cyclocross race. Not a good idea. Just made it very difficult to clean the grit from between chain bushings and plates afterwards.
Best Uses
Comments about Finish Line Cross Country Lube:
I use it in Mountain Biking specially in long distances.
I prefer in dry season than in wet, because this product atracts dirt.
Comments about Finish Line Cross Country Lube:
I use this lube on my MTB but not on my road bike. The reason for this is that it is great for long lasting use because it stays on the chain. However, its kindof thick of it adds a little resistance to the chain. Its more greaselike and less oillike if you know what I mean. Its a little thick but it lasts a long time. Not so great for road bikes. White Lightning is better for smoothness on the roadie.Higher viscosity I think they would say? That said, its great for offroad use because you can ride through puddles and streams and get really wet and stuff and it doesn't wear off.

Home network set-up not successful.
by Syncopator - 2/21/13 7:15 PM
I have two computers, both with XP SP3, one Home, the other Pro, and a router.
The XP Home computer is connected directly with an ethernet cable to the router, the XP Pro is connected to the router through ethernet over the a.c. supply through two of those whatever you call them "adapters".
Both computers connect to the internet ok but they apparently can't see each other - the network which I thought I had set up doesn't appear in My Network Places, nor can the XP Pro machine use the printer which is connected to a USB port on the XP Home one.
When I try to print something from the Pro machine, the printer's (Epson) window opens up, telling me that the "Printer is not ready to print".
I may have overlooked something, or perhaps the various instructions which I have read have not mentioned something which they should have.
Can anyone suggest a reliable and complete set of instructions which I can consult?

"Would be great if the visual novel, The Bells Sing The Future's Timbre, gets translated to English as well."
I'm going to assume you mean 鈴が歌う、未来の音色― (スズノネ), which would be the second VN, which I agree with. Would be great if that was translated too. Though I would say if that gets started, please trasnlate Miku's portion and the SS (special-story I assume) first!

Random thought, but there's that point where in Japanese she says 'sodeshou ne' (そでしょうね), which you translated into "Right?"
Just seems to me that maybe something like "Yeah..." might work better. *Shrug*

Another note; there are a number of instances where you translated voiced sounds like 「ううう」 (which would be in romaji 'uuuuu') into things like "(whines)".
I'm not entirely sure, but in some cases it might be best to leave it in the direct Romaji, rather then reinterpreting it in this manner.
Just another suggestion.

The phrase you refer to is そうですよね…… not そでしょうね. I think I'm going to keep "Right", but I am going to change the ? to a ...
Also, why do you think it is best to leave it in the direct Romaji, rather than reinterpreting it? Japanese shows nearly every vocalization, but English tends to use adjectives to descibe how a person talks. Let me hear your reasoning though.

Iunno how to put it really, somehow I find romaji might be a little more descriptive. However, by all means, you're the translator. And I wouldn't want to hold up the release by asking you to change all of that.
It was 'sodesu-yo-ne'? Ach, must've missed that. Nevermind then. >_>

I suppose that maybe I just like to avoid losing any detail in translation, but I'm sure your understanding of the language is much better then mine.

this is like my best year eva, i joined and acing Airforce Junior ROTC,BRS is turned into a anime and then a game, another competitor for wolfquest will be out and the Hatsune Miku Visual Novel Transelation! :D

It has nothing to do with understanding the language. It's just a judgment call. I'll reconsider this after the initial release.
- September 23, 2010 at 6:42 PM
- SaLaNoS said...
Alright then. I was going to suggest you consider it as a possible amendment after the initial release, anyway.
Maybe it's the way I read things. I kind of directly put anything I read in the text box straight in the character's mouth, so I'm more likely to think Miku would be saying "whines some more" then, say, "uuu...", but you get the point.
Nontheless, great job on everything else, and I look forward to the release!

yo,Zoom 909..you're really great..i'll look forward for this novel's release in full english translate..I can't wait ^_^
say, after finish this, do you ever plan to translate Rin's game "Rin ga Utau, Mirai no Neiro" in english? i just want to know the next story of hatsune Miku although it's just the side story of the game..hehe

still ain't out yet??
there's too many people who are waiting for this

I, too, expected to have it ready by this weekend. This whole week I looked for like, one evening where I could finish this up. It never materialized. And right now I'm out of town.
My advice is, forget about this for a week, then check back next weekend. It'll probably be done by then.

Take your time, dude. It's not like it will be Armageddon tomorrow.
Dunno about the rest of people, though. I guess some of them are way too excited that they can't sleep until you release it. <_<"

Hi zoom909, I was just wondering if you were able to get the author's permission to make a translation patch for this game. Or is this more so an unofficial patch?

Groovy is a powerful tool. Like other powerful tools (think of a chainsaw) it requires a certain amount of user expertise and attention. Otherwise, results may be fatal.
Following code fragments are allowed in Groovy but usually result in unintended behaviour or incomprehensible problems. Simply don't do this and spare yourself some of the frustration that new and unskilled Groovy programmers sometimes experience.
1. Accessing an object's type like a property
.class instead of
.getClass() is ok - as long as you know exactly what kind of object you have. But then you don't need that at all. Otherwise, you run in the risk of getting
null or something else, but not the class of the object.
2. Omitting parentheses around method arguments when not appropriate
Better use parentheses for argument lists unless you are sure.
For instance, a left parenthesis after a method name must always enclose the parameter list.
3. Putting a newline at the wrong place into the code
This may cause the compiler to to assume a complete statement although it is meant as continuing in the next line. It is not always as obvious as in the following example.
4. Forgetting to write the second equals sign of the equals operator
As a result, a comparison expression turns into an assignment.
(One measure is to put constant expressions in comparisons always before the equals operator.)
5. Specifying the wrong return type when overriding a method (Groovy version < 1.5.1 only)
Such a method may be considered as overloaded (a different method with the same name) and not be called as expected.
6. Disregarding other objects' privacy
When accessing methods, fields, or properties of other classes, make sure that you do not interfere with private or protected members. Currently Groovy doesn't distinguish properly between public, private, and protected members, so watch out yourself.
7. Thoughtless dynamic programming
Check for conflicts with intended class functionality before adding or changing methods or properties using Groovy's dynamic facilities.
8. String concatenation
As in Java, you can concatenate Strings with the "+" symbol. But Java only needs that one of the two items of a "+" expression to be a String, no matter if it's in the first place or in the last one. Java will use the
toString() method in the non-String object of your "+" expression. But in Groovy, you just should be safe the first item of your "+" expression implements the
plus() method in the right way, because Groovy will search and use it. In Groovy GDK, only the Number and String/StringBuffer/Character classes have the
plus() method implemented to concatenate strings. To avoid surprises, always use GStrings.

Authors: Alexandre Vasseur
This tutorial tries to walk you through the idea of Aspects deployment we have introduced in AspectWerkz.
This tutorial is using AspectWerkz 2.0.
You will learn how to integrate aspects and aspects libraries as regular components in your J2EE environment through the help of META-INF/aop.xml and WEB-INF/aop.xml files.
It won't give a lot of detail on what is AOP, how the aspects are implemented using AspectWerkz, etc...
If you want to read more about that first, you can read and practice the
In this tutorial, we will use Tomcat 5 samples applications since everyone can download it easily. Some more articles are on their way to explain integration on BEA WebLogic Server and Apache Geronimo, where the same concepts apply.
I assume you have a Java 1.4 correctly installed.
Download the 2.0 AspectWerkz release (or latest RC) and unzip it into a relevant location. I will use C:\aw\aspectwerkz\
This tutorial is based on the 2.0 version of AspectWerkz.
The latest distribution can be found here.
After installation you need to set the
ASPECTWERKZ_HOME environment variable to point to the installation directory.
This is because quite a few of the scripts use this to find the required libraries and those scripts aims at making this tutorial
simpler to understand by focussing on the topic to cover.
Below is some samples (for Windows - adapt for Unix/Linux and do an
export ASPECTWERKZ_HOME)
You should check that your
JAVA_HOME is properly configured as well.
Then you need to install Tomcat 5, since we will deploy our aspects in Tomcat samples applications.
The distribution 5.0.25 can be found here (choose jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25.zip). Download and unzip it to somewhere relevant.
I will use C:\aw\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25\
After installation, it is wise to check the Tomcat installation by launching
and open your browser to (this link should work) http://localhost:8080/ to access the main Tomcat page.
In the next parts of the tutorial, we will go thru some Tomcat servlet samples http://localhost:8080/servlets-examples/ and jsp examples http://localhost:8080/jsp-examples/.
Shutdown Tomcat by closing the MSDos window or doing some
CTRL-C twice.
You can check the attachments if you don't want to code or build the single class as explained in the following sections. I advise you to practice some instead of downloading them.
The reusable Aspect
Since Tomcat provides several sample applications, we have to provide a test Aspect that we can use and reuse to understand the different aspect deployment schemes.
To make things easy to understand, we will not go into the details.
Just notice that it is yet another tracing aspect, and that the aspect method named "trace" will be our around advice.
This aspect will print some information about himself, like the hashcode of the ClassLoader that created it (I do not use toString() since Tomcat is too verbose, but you can give it a try).
We will pack this Aspect in different ways in the next parts of the tutorial, but we can already compile it as a regular Java class.
I will write this Aspect in C:\aw\tomcat, in the package
This is a standard Java class, and can be compiled with
javac ... demoAOP\HelloWorld.java to produce the regular ".class" file in the "target" directory. We need to link to the aspectwerkz jar due to this JoinPoint class that is used in the source code of the DemoAspect, so we should write
javac -classpath %ASPECTWERKZ_HOME%\lib\aspectwerkz-2.0.jar demoAOP\DemoAspect.java, but usage of the environment variable makes sense here to set the
From there we have several options if we are using online mode (class load time weaving), which is standardized in Java 1.5 with JSR-163 but that AspectWerkz support even for Java 1.3:
- copy the aspect
.classfile in the
WEB-INF/classesdirectory and write a
WEB-INF/aop.xmlAOP XML descriptor to define the aspect pointcut within the web application scope
- package the aspect
.classfile in a jar file, and add a
META-INF/aop.xmlin this jar file. Copy this jar in the
- instead of deploying our aspect within a specific web application, we could copy the jar at the system classpath level. The interesting thing to understand is that such a system wide
META-INF/aop.xmlAOP XML descriptor will affect all web applications due to java ClassLoader hierachies.
- and of course we could have both: some aspects at the application level with a
WEB-INF/aop.xmland some aspects at the system wide level with a
When using offline mode (post compilation of your classes before deployment), the same results can be achieved, though it can be sometimes a bit tricky to remember to weave the application both for its own aspects and for the system level aspects.
We will not go through offline mode in this tutorial (refer to HelloWorld tutorial).
To keep things simple, we will always use the following pointcut that will allow to pick out all public methods execution:
We carrfully exclude the package name of the aspect thus:
As a consequence, the following AOP XML descriptor will be used.
Write this file in C:\aw\tomcat\META-INF\aop.xml for now.
Note that we could have simplified this XML by defining our
DemoAspect with annotations (see HelloWorld tutorial for this).
Some of you will have already understand that when the aspect is deployed within the web application, its weaving scope will not be the same: the
pointcut will pick out public method from classes really loaded by the web application (e.g. not
javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet class).
Enabling online mode in Tomcat
Since we will use online mode, we need to alter some of the Tomcat startup scripts. If we were using BEA JRockit or Java 1.5, it would be a matter of adding a single JVM option.
Since I will not make any assumption on your JVM environment, I will skip the interesting details in this part and we will use a non-optimized but out-of-the-box solution that ships with the AspectWerkz distribution: the command line tool in
ASPECTWERKZ_HOME/bin/aspectwerkz (read doc).
Note: for Tomcat 5.0.27 and after, please refer to the comments at the end of the article
Open the Tomcat startup script
bin/catalina.bat (C:\aw\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25\bin\catalina.bat).
The main idea is to set
ASPECTWERKZ_HOME in this script and replace
JAVA_HOME/bin/java with
Locate at the end of the script:
and alter it as follows:
For a complete understanding of the different options and other modes, refer to the AspectWerkz weaving schemes documentation.
Note that as a consequence of using the command line tool for simplicity here, we will run the Tomcat with -Xdebug JVM mode (with Java 1.4).
Do not startup Tomcat for now.
Aspect deployed in the application with a WEB-INF/aop.xml
This section explains the main step required and consequences of packaging an aop.xml file in your deployed application (WEB-INF/aop.xml).
The big picture is as follow:
In this section we decide to package our aspect as a regular class of the web application, and we define the pointcut and activate the aspect
through the help of the WEB-INF/aop.xml file.
As a consequence, only the classes of the web application will be eventually weaved (if the pointcut match), even if the pointcut is supposed to match everything (all public method execution as explained in the previous section). In fact, the deployment mechanism tied to the web application deployment add an unbreakable isolation, and only public method execution of classes loaded belonging to the web application will be targetted by our
Lets apply our Aspect to the Tomcat jsp-examples web application:
Lets add the AOP XML descriptor to the web app:
To sum up we have only
- added the aspect class to the web app as regular web app packaging dictates to do
- added a WEB-INF/aop.xml file to the web app
Lets start Tomcat with the
bin/startup.bat script (which will delegate to our modified
catalina.bat script).
On the stdout window some AspectWerkz message should appear, with some verbose blocks of logs about aop.xml deployment.
And immediately we should see our DemoAspect at work, with some information about the web app initialization.
You will notice this 7088278 hashcode here, which indeed match the web app classloader hashcode as logged at deployment time.
By browsing the jsp-samples web application, we learn more about public method execution of the web application.
Off course, no information about Tomcat itself since the aspects was deployed within the web application.
This section is interesting, and I hope you have already some new ideas to deploy your aspects in your J2EE application with AspectWerkz.
But what happens if you would like to provide some ready to use out of the box aspects, completely obliouvness to the user ?
Shutdown Tomcat for the next section.
Aspect deployed in the application with an Aspect jar file
This section explains the main step required to package a "drop n weave" aspect jar file that contains a META-INF/aop.xml file, and consequence of adding this jar file in your deployed application (WEB-INF/lib).
The big picture is as follow:
In this section we will achieve the same result as in previous section, but in a slightly different way.
We will package our Aspect in a jar file, and we will add the
aop.xml file in the jar file itself in the special
META-INF folder, so that our jar file is completely self defined.
The jar file is then added to the web application as a regular jar file.
As a consequence of web application deployment, the aop.xml file from the aspect jar file will still be deployed by the web application class loader, and the same behavior will happen: the aspect will target classes laoded by the web application.
Lets prepare the jar file (regular java / jar packaging rules applies)
You will end up in having a C:\aw\aspect.jar file ready to use.
Lets add this drop n weave jar file to the Tomcat servlet samples web application.
Startup Tomcat.
Note: if you still have the jsp sample application with its aspect, you will see some messages as well as detailled in previous section.
The following should appear on stdout: some messages about the deployment of our aspect.jar file and its
META-INF/aop.xml AOP XML deployment descriptor and right after that, our DemoAspect at work.
Something interesting: if you kept the jsp sample application aspect, you realize that you deployed the same aspect class and the same aop.xml file twice. This is made possible due to class loader hierarchies. They don't see each other and the naming space is guaranteed by the class loader and by the AspectWerkz AOP container.
Browse some in the servlet sample application and see the DemoAspect at work.
We will learn something more about that in the next part...
Have you heard that "Aspects are everywhere" (c) The AspectWerkz team ?
Go on reading !
Shutdown Tomcat
Aspect jar file at the system classpath
This section explains the main step required to package several META-INF/aop.xml files and understand what happens then.
The big picture is as follow:
In this section we keep the packaging of the previous section, but we add a new aspect.jar file at the Tomcat wide level (system classpath) to check if we can have there a more wider pointcut. Remember the pointcut is supposed to match all public method, but that AOP container behavior enforce isolation based on the regular class loader hierarchy.
There is an important things to do.
AspectWerkz AOP container requires sysem id as defined in the aop.xml file to be unique within a class loader hierarchy. That means:
- we can not just copy the previous aspect.jar at the system classpath level without changing its id
- we could just copy the previous aspect.jar to some other webapplication, since then it will be in a parallel classloader hierarchy due to regular J2EE classloading schemes
Lets change the
META-INF/aop.xml then and may be lets reduce some the scope of the pointcut so that we don't have too much data:
The C:\aw\tomcat\META-INF\aop.xml file will look like
Lets package a new weave n drop aspect jar file:
You will end up in having a C:\aw\aspect-system.jar file ready to use.
Copy this file to C:\aw\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25\common\lib which contains some regular jar for Tomcat.
Startup Tomcat.
Now we have both DemoAspect of each system at work:
We have:
- learned how to package and deploy our aspect along our web application
- understood the consequence of doing so
- understood a way to do it with a self contained jar file dropped in the web application libs
- understood the difference with an Aspect jar that would belong to the system classpath
- practice class load time integration using the command line tool
To go on in practicing, you can check that the AOP container will refuse deploying the same system id within the same class loader hierarchy, or you can find some interesting pointcut tied to Tomcat and Servlet 2.3 API, or try to change the Aspect to have it a bit more usefull.

my PC's cpu utility rate is increase to 100% and can't return normal.
is that something wrong!!
Is there someone have the same problem???
PS:i use the test aspet DemoAspect.java and put aop.xml to myweb/WEB-INF.
Have you use AspectWerkz 2.0 to run on tomcat and running successfully?
Could you share the configuration.
thanks for help.
1.3 JVMs to not have the required XML parser(s) for AW. To remedy this, simply copy the
xmlParserAPIs.jar and xercesImpl.jar from your $TOMCAT/common/endorsed/ directory
into your jre/lib/ext/ directory. You could probably modify the aspectwerkz shell
script to include these jars in its classpath, as well.
I'm trying to get drop-n-weave to work with Weblogic 8.1 sp 4.
I added ...
set JAVA_VENDOR=BEA
set JAVA_HOME=C:\bea\jrockit81sp4_142_05
set ASPECTWERKZ_HOME=C:\java\aspectwerkz-2.0
set _EXECJAVA=%ASPECTWERKZ_HOME%\bin\aspectwerkz.bat
... to startWeblogic.cmd, as well as changed the java call to use...
The server starts. I even got ...
AW::WARNING - no such deployment model [perThread] using default (perJVM)
... because I'd used the wrong setting in my aop.xml.
But the aspect doesn't seem to run.
I'm trying to advise a control that has a data source, but I'm doing it in a domain that does not have the data source. This is on purpose because I'm trying to mock the control for testing and JPF development without the data source. (just take my word for it When my JPF calls the control I get an exception because the data source isn't found. Apparently the control (a local EJB) is still being initialized even though my aspect short-circuits the call...
- @Around execution(* com.foo.bar.ejb.AccountServerLocal.save(..))
public Object mockSave(final JoinPoint joinPoint) throws ThrowableUnknown macro: { MethodRtti rtti = (MethodRtti)joinPoint.getRtti(); Account account = (Account)rtti.getParameterValues()[0]; System.out.println("===> account}
Is this normal? Or did I miss something?
Most importantly, can I use an aspect to mock my control in a domain without the data source?
- @Around execution(* com.foo.bar.ejb.AccountServerLocal.save(..))
Uh, sorry. I'm not sure how to post code. Let me try again...
* @Around execution(* com.saic.its.eo.ejb.AccountServerLocal.save(..))
public Object mockSave(final JoinPoint joinPoint) throws Throwable {
MethodRtti rtti = (MethodRtti)joinPoint.getRtti();
AccountBizObject account = (AccountBizObject)rtti.getParameterValues()0;
System.out.println("===> account: " + account);
return new Long(1122);
Still digging.
I realized I'd made some mistakes. I was pointing the aspect to the interface instead of the class. I even had the wrong class! (doh!) then I realized the ant script wasn't really running AspectC.
Now I'm pointing at the right class and I've set up the ant task AspectWerkzCTask. I can't seem to find any documentation on using the task though. Is this normal output? (Itried to escape the @s)...

Hi...I want to write an aspect for a method in which I need to manipulate with the parameters to that method.How can I achieve this..An urgent help needed. Thanks in advance.
Can anybody please update the steps for Tomcat as a service? No such files in my Tomcat (as service) install:
So, how can I enable things in my setup? Thanks.
Hi Alexander , i am following the exact steps as yours , using the same versions for AspectWerkz (2.0 ) and Tomcat (5.0.25) as yours. but i never see the following lines in the output :
* ClassLoader = org.apache.catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader@7088278
* SystemID = webapp
* Aspect total count = 1
* file:/C:/aw/tomcat/java/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.25/webapps/jsp-examples/WEB-INF/aop.xml
when the aspects are deployed with the WEB-INF/aop.xml , i get the log in the output
but when the aspects are copied in the application as Aspect jar in WEB-INF/lib , i get no log ..
Same problem happens when i copy the jar with to common/lib
I'm trying to integrate AspectWerkz with tomcat 6.0.16. i followed the steps described in a preview comment but i received the exception bellow :

False- They live in Asia.
false – the majority live in Asia and the Pacific
False. Asia.
False – the majority live in Asia
False. Almost 2/3 of the 790 million are in Asia and the Pacific.
False…along with everyone else, I say Asia!
False — Asia and the Pacific
Asia and the Pacific region is home to over half the world's population and nearly two thirds of the world's hungry people
Also the number of undernourished people in the world increased by 75 million in 2007, largely due to higher food prices.
And more than 70 percent of the world's 146 million underweight children under age five years live in just 10 countries, with more than 50 per cent located in South Asia alone
(Source: World Food Program Hunger Stats)
The answer is:
False. Approximately 790 million people in the developing world are still chronically undernourished, almost two-thirds of whom reside in Asia and the Pacific.
Despite the food production rate being better than the population growth rate, there is still desperate hunger in many parts of the world.

California is the most populous state in the United States, and the third largest by land area, after Alaska and Texas; it is also the second most populous sub-national entity in the Americas, behind only São Paulo, Brazil. California is located on the West Coast of the United States, bordered by Oregon to the north, Nevada to the northeast, Arizona to the southeast, the Mexican state of Baja California to the south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west. Its four largest cities are Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose, and San Francisco. Much of the state has a Mediterranean climate, with cool, rainy winters and dry summers. The cool California Current offshore often creates summer fog near the coast. Further inland, one encounters colder winters and hotter summers. California's geography ranges from the Pacific coast to the Sierra Nevada mountain range in the east, to Mojave desert areas in the southeast and the Redwood–Douglas fir forests of the northwest. The center of the state is dominated by the Central Valley, one of the most productive agricultural areas in the world. California is the most geographically diverse state in the nation, and contains the highest (Mount Whitney) and lowest (Death Valley) points in the contiguous United States. Almost 40% of California is forested, a high amount for a relatively arid state.

could you write what your beleifs our and make it not too long? just the basics.
Accept life as it truly is, face it with the sober recognition that we truly know only the physical reality of the environment that we inhabit. Work to enlighten mankind to the reality that the human family will decide the fate of the human race as the resources of the Earth are not limitless.
God permeates reality with the gift of life which is simply an extension of God's love of life, human included.
haha thats pretty much what i beleive in
Who are you?
[quote author="lawrence"]
Accept life as it truly is…we truly know only the physical reality of the environment that we inhabit. .
And admit that even our knowledge of the physical reality, if not completely an illusion, is limited to what our finite senses mediate to us and our cultural conditioning has prepared us to recognize as data worth paying attention to.

Since IzPack 5.0
All Windows systems block executable files that are currently in use, as device drivers, EXE, DLL and even JAR files. Normally, a running application is to be shut down before such files can be overwritten, for instance by an IzPack installer. This might fit most of the use cases IzPack is used with.
There can be situations where the application cannot be shut down at the installation time, but has to be updated anyway. This is where this new feature comes into the game.
Microsoft offers a Windows API for handling such cases: Setup API. From the view of the pure interface it has been quiet stable over the different Windows distributions. Although Microsoft recommends using it only for installing device drivers Setup API can be used for any kind of file to be installed. Several independent installers which are not based on Windows Installer make usage of it. For example, the native NSIS installer uses a
/rebootok flag for copying files which might be potentially in use.
Here is how blockable file handling is integrated into IzPack:
Lets start with an example of install.xml:
<installation version="1.0"> <info> ... <rebootaction>ask</rebootaction> ... </info> ... <native type="izpack" name="SetupAPI.dll"> <os family="windows"/> </native> ... <packs> <pack name="Core files" required="yes"> <description>The core files needed for this test</description> <singlefile src="plain/my_exefile_v1.exe" target="${INSTALL_PATH}/my_exefile.exe" override="true" blockable="auto"/> </pack> </packs> </installation>
The file
${INSTALL_PATH}/my_exefile.exe on the target system is assumed to be potentially running and therefore blocked at installation time, for instance as a system service. It might be not convenient to shut it down before installation. Instead, we intend to replace it after the next system reboot.
For this purpose we mark the according file as
blockable. The value
auto means that the OS recognizes automatically whether the file is blocked or not, instead of forcing marking it blocked (using
force). If it is blocked it will be internally enqueued by Windows to be replaced after a system reboot. Otherwise the file is overwritten directly due to the
override=true. If we had
override=false and the file would be blocked during installation time copying of the file would be skipped as expected.
<rebootaction>ask</rebootaction> we force IzPack to ask the user in case of using interactive installers whether the system should be rebooted immediately. The user has the chance to confirm or deny the reboot action. Anyway, if there are pending file operations the system has to be rebooted sooner or later to apply the changes that came with the installation.
blockable attribute applies also on the packs elements
file and
fileset. For using it there must be included the
SetupAPI.dll as can be seen above. This library is built-in into IzPack natively.
Note that if there no explicit constraint for the OS family =
windows defined on the according parent element
singlefile or
fileset copying a file with a valid
blockable value different to
none there is a compiler warning given to the user:
"blockable" will implicitely apply only on Windows target systems
Anyway, it is possible to mark files as blockable even for multi-platform installations, for instance in case of blockable jar files. The
blockable attribute will be simply ignored on non-Windows platforms, resulting in a "classic" behaviour for copying files.
For a complete specification of the according elements and attributes see the documentation of
<rebootaction> in the Header - <info> and the
blockable attribute in one of the elements
<fileset> or

"The Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle is an all-terrain buggy. We enjoyed testing it on our newly harvested field and were impressed with the results."Written by: Baby & Pram Reviews Read the full review here
"Pleased to report that the Mountain Buggys are in great use. Those people... should be proud of the way the product stands up to the rigours of 'The Hills Of Thailand'. The Buggys are in tip top shape and are in spotless condition. It seems that they are cleaned down after each use - and they are continually used. The one with the boy brings great relief to the grandmother and the one with the girl brings her great joy - everyday." - Graeme Jenkinson, The Foundation for Kids representative
The urban jungle stroller has made the lives of less fortunate families in the hills of Thailand that little bit easier through our association with The Foundation for Kids. Their urban jungle has been put to the test, tackling muddy, unpaved mountainous terrain. We're proud to have been able to help!
"…if you need a full size off roader with ability to reach into town but go down the toughest of tracks and room for storage isnt a big problem. The Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle is for you."
Buggy & Pram Reviews compares the Mountain Buggy swift, urban jungle and terrain strollers.Read the full review at buggypramreviews.co.uk
Hollie Schultz of Baby Gizmo gives you an indepth look at the new Mountain Buggy urban jungle stroller.
Note : We listen, we develop, we deliver. The urban jungle stroller now has an automatic frame lock for safety and convenience when folding.
"Whether you're navigating the city streets or a trail outdoors, the Mountain Buggy urban jungle has everything you need... Lightweight high tensile aluminum frame. Quick release wheels. Lockable front swivel wheel for maneuverability in the city or extra stability off-road. Upright to fully reclined seat positions so your little one can rest in comfort. Suitable for newborns, infants, and toddlers. Easy care fabric - water repellent and durable. Sunhood with viewing window so you and your little one can interact while you're on the move. Safe and easy two-step fold. Air filled tyres for a smoother ride. Easy foot operated brake." - OHbaby!Read the full OHbaby! review of the urban jungle buggy
"My wife and I bought a Mountain Buggy Urban Jungle, and had a wheel fail due to tire pressure in hot weather a few months past our warranty period. The support provided by Mountain Buggy was world class. They proactively contacted me and asked for a detailed description of what happened. They promptly arranged to have a new wheel sent to us and within a week of contacting us had us back in action. I would recommend this product based on the support alone (and its a great buggy). These folks stand behind their products."Written by: Corey
"We have our moss green mountain buggy urban Jungle for about 19 Months now and we just love it. The urban Jungle just kicks ass on all terrain. It's not the smallest, but the driving comfort and the no nonsense construction makes up for it :o). The color comes in handy spotting your buggy in the supermarket. The sturdy carrycot made it possible in the beginning to safely transport the sleeping baby. A softbag like some parents have would not have been so good. We actually planed to buy a small buggy for our Mallorca Holiday in coming August. But after trying a few small carts, we decided to take our urban jungle with us. The comfort for our daughter, and the comfort for us as parents just is something we do not want to miss. Keep up the good work, Tom"Written by: Tom
"We are an Australian couple who moved to Finland this year and had our first child here in Helsinki in July. Our MB has been great at getting on and off the trams, buses and trains, maneuvering the cobblestones and now plowing through the snow. I still maintain I have the best Buggy to push through that snow and keep my son snug and warm. Thank you for having such a well designed and great looking product. We love it."Written by: Alison
"Couldn't be happier with the mountain buggy...and the customer service that comes along with it. When we received it in the mail, one of the buttons was broken of the seat material, and they sent us a brand new one free about 2 days later. So we basically have a backup seat if needed in an emergency. Also, we had a minor problem with the brake sticking, but they are sending us a completely new frame, no hassle at all. I couldn't imagine anything better in a stroller...smooth ride, easy to fold, and multiple attachments. Travel system, carry cot, all easy to use. 5 star easily. Recommend it to anyone."Written by: Steve
"This is a great buggy for all terrain. Generous size and comfortable for the baby, yet so easy to maneuver even single handedly. Can't wait to use it in the snow during winter."Written by: Mariposa
"I bought the Urban Jungle after extensive research... and love it! We were looking for a tough but stylish stroller that was suitable for the city, running, hiking trails and light enough to get in and out of a NYC cab. Great stroller! And the bassinet is perfect for a newborn."Written by: Amanda
"One of the few items my hubby took an interest in when registering for our first baby was the stroller. He got really into it and his extensive research lead us to Mountain Buggy's Urban Jungle. I was a little skeptical to register for a $500 stroller but now that we have it, I don't regret it at all. It's a great stroller and a lot better than those 4 wheeled travel system strollers that you can get with your car seat. Really easy to fold down and very easy to maneuver and push. We have a Peg Perego car seat and the stroller worked great with the MB car seat adapter we purchased. I think in the long run we may have even saved money by not getting a travel system and then later having to buy a jogging stroller too. This is our all in one. We even travelled (by air) with it to Colorado. It made the trip just fine, we purchased the Mountain Buggy travel bag, to protect our investment! If I had to say one negative thing, I wish the sun canopy was even bigger, but the follow the sun feature is great. Our baby is 6.5 months old and we have had nothing but good experiences with this stroller so far, with many more to come!"Written by: Emily
"After some research on strollers I chose this because of it is great for all types of terrain. I like that it is a bit big stroller, so it`s comfortable for the baby (even though I needed to change from the bassinet to the stroller when my son was only 3 months old because he was too tall). I love that the buggy is so easy to maneuver even with a single hand."Written by: Hilde
"I got this stroller for my son before he was born. It is the best stroller I've ever used! The steering is phenomenal and I've even taken it up and down stairs with ease. I love the pretty green color and the other color choices as well. The reason this doesn't get six stars is the lack of a parent cup holder, though there is a water bottle holder, the lack of an available snack tray, and the lack of complete directions (I had to puzzle out for myself that the strap with a clip was for keeping the stroller closed.) I would love to see more accessories included at this price point but it seems all the companies do this. Overall I would recommend this product and mountain buggy in general to anyone without the slightest hesitation!"
Note : We listen, we develop, we deliver. After reading this feedback from Amy and other urban jungle users, we redesigned the frame on all our buggies so they automatically locked when folded. We also now have a parent cup holder available as part of the stroller accessory range.Written by: Amy

South Park: The Stick of TruthFrom the perilous battlefields of the fourth-grade playground, a young hero will rise, destined to be South Park's savior.
South Park: The Stick of Truth Summary
South Park: The Stick of Truth Review
Never fart on another man's balls.
Latest news
South Park: The Stick of Truth 'could' receive DLC, however it's unlikely says Obsidian
Obsidian Entertainment CEO Feargus Urquhart has admitted there were discussions on how to extend the story in the South Park: The Stick of Truth, but "it was just stuff on paper."
Those ideas were also rattling around when the RPG was still under THQ, but once the publisher collapsed their focus became fixated on just getting it done for Ubisoft.
Humble Bundle Spring Sale offers Batman: Arkham Origins, South Park: Stick of Truth and more
The Humble Bundle Spring Sale runs from May 7 to May 21, and offers daily flash sales as well as longer-lasting discounts. Games on offer include relatively recent titles like Batman: Arkham Origins and South Park: Stick of Truth.
New South Park costume DLC released
South Park: The Stick of Truth has received its very first DLC pack, containing three new costumes each with their own unique bonuses. Existing pre-order content has also been made available for purchase.
South Park: The Stick of Truth's censorship "does feel like a double standard"
Co-creator Matt Stone of South Park has called the brief censorship in The Stick of Truth as something of a "double standard," and remarks a TV episode with the same content will have unlikely been cut.
It's "not that big a deal," as what does get cut is very little. They did want to make a joke out of it being cut though, "that was fine." Stone is happy an uncut version exists.
South Park RPG delays in Germany and Austria over "unconstitutional symbol"
Despite having been censored prior to release, South Park: The Stick of Truth is still facing delay in Germany and Austria because of an "unconstitutional symbol" present, which refers to the 'Nazi zombies'.
It seems an error has led to Germany and Austria receiving the uncensored North American version. It's unclear why digital builds are also affected.

Max Fogleman lost track years ago of the number of people he's sold cars to, but rest assured the figure is well into the thousands.
"I'm an old country boy," he said. "I know a lot of people."
Fogleman owns Fogleman Motors on South Church Street near City Park. He's sold cars there since 1978. Before that, beginning in 1967, he sold for Atwater Ford in downtown Burlington.
At 78, an age when most of his cohorts have long since retired, Fogleman continues working — usually five days a week. Admittedly, his pace isn't what it once was.
If the opportunity to play a round of golf presents itself, Fogleman isn't above closing shop for a few hours. If a longtime pal comes along and the two have a hankering for a cup of coffee, Fogleman hangs the "Back in 15 minutes" sign on the door and steps away.
At his age, he's earned the right.
"Everybody asks, 'Max, why don't you retire?'" Fogleman said. "You retire, you die. I'm not ready to go there yet."
Fogleman's lot isn't large — a gravel plot that surrounds a cinder-block building where the paperwork is handled. Fogleman typically has 10 or 12 vehicles available for sale at any given time. Cars and pickups that fetch less than $10,000 make up the crux of the crop, but Fogleman occasionally sells a vehicle for $20,000 or even $25,000.
He used to buy a number of his cars from dealer auctions, but seldom does so anymore. Nowadays, lots of Fogleman's offerings come from the larger local dealerships — Cox Toyota, Dick Shirley Chevrolet and the like — where he has connections. If those big guys take a vehicle on trade that's got a few years or more miles than they're interested in fooling with, they'll give Fogleman a call.
If he's interested and the price is right, a deal is made.
"Anything I can make a buck on," Fogleman said.
He has each of his vehicles serviced at Norris Automotive on Alamance Road before he puts it up for sale. Mike Norris runs the business.
"As far as being fair, Max is about as fair as anyone I know," Norris said. "I've seen him spend his own money to make a customer happy when he didn't have to."
Even better, he said, he likes Fogleman.
"He's a character," Norris said. "He absolutely can't sit still. I've offered him $100 to stand perfectly still for a minute without saying a word or moving his arms and he can't do it."
Fogleman said if Norris recommends a repair and it's not too costly, he'll have it done.
He said if one of his cars has a flaw and he knows it, he makes a point of telling potential customers. Not every customer he's sold to over the years has been 100 percent satisfied, Fogleman admitted ("They haven't made the perfect car yet," he quipped. "I'm not perfect and you're not perfect"), but a number of his customers have become good friends.
"I feel if you're straight with people, the word's going to get around," Fogleman said. "I'm too old to make enemies."
Larry "Buck" Nichols was sales manager at Atwater Ford in the late '60s, the man who hired Fogleman and gave him his start in the car business. Nichols said he liked Fogleman from the get-go and counted him as one of his best salesmen.
The biggest problem he had with Fogleman, Nichols said, was his love of softball. Fogleman played for more than 40 years, until he was well into his 60s. The years he worked at Atwater Ford represented the prime of his playing career. Nichols said he remembers Fogleman telling him more than once that he had to take a couple of hours off. Then he'd change into his softball uniform and head out for a game.
"I'd kid with him," Nichols said. "I'd say, 'Max, why don't you stay here and sell cars like you're supposed to?' Max would answer, 'Buck, I sell some of those ballplayers cars, too.'"
Nichols chuckled as he recalled those long-ago conversations.
"I never complained," he said. "Max always did his job."
Fogleman was raised in the Bellemont community of southern Alamance County, a place where he still lives. He and his wife, Esther, had each been married prior to marrying one another. Between them they've got seven children, as well as 42 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Fogleman and his wife are regulars at Bellemont Methodist Church.
When Fogleman grew too old to continue his softball career, he took up golf. He sports a handicap that ranges from 14 to 18, but keeps a scorecard on his desk from a day not long ago where he shot a 79 while playing with a trio of his buddies.
Fogleman has, by the way, probably sold each of those golfing pals a car or two over the years.
"I like to talk to people," he said of one of the characteristics that makes him a good salesman. "I enjoy people. I can talk to anybody."

Sometimes using a creative approach to pet adoptions makes all the difference in the world. In a recent life-changing trip, 36 lucky dogs and puppies from an ASPCA partner community agency, the Asheville Humane Society, received new chances to find loving forever homes. These sweet pups were transported by plane from North Carolina to Florida in an "Airlift of Love," during the annual Pilots n Paws event.
Over the course of the event, 300 dogs were flown to parts of the country where there are plenty of willing adopters waiting to open their homes to shelter pets. This impressive event could be considered the largest canine rescue in American history!
Check out the video to follow these sweet dogs, including one special pup named Betty, on their exciting journey toward adoption.
This was the best thing this morning to ensure that those little lives have been saved. I'm all for "rescue" dogs and have 2 myself and I'm so grateful for them.
We can relate, we just got our rescue dog that was flown in from Texas from some magnificent people that work at Texas Husky Rescue.
There are truly angels who walk among us. They come in all sorts of forms such as all the humans who tirelessly and selflessly rescue, fly, protect and give homes to the other 4 legged angels who live to love us.
Thank you for sharing this beautiful story. Blessings to all involved with and in the Asheville Dogs Flight for Adoption.
what fun! they may be afraid to fly but off they go trusting their new home and owners to make all right
