Among our most cherished goals for the centennial is honoring our founder, Dr. James Henry Wayland, by erecting a cast bronze statue in front of Gates Hall. The Classes of 1955 and 1956 have taken on this project as their own and have already given generously toward the statue. But help is needed. At one-and-one-half times life-size, this marker will sit atop a marble base and feature lighting and landscaping. It is our hope that all who visit Wayland's campus will take time to honor this visionary pioneer doctor. The man behind the school Dr. Wayland's practice covered a 250-mile radius, and he trusted the instincts of his horse and the direction of settlers to guide him to his patients. Dr. Wayland prospered in Plainview through his practice, the drugstore he operated and a small cattle ranch. More pioneers came and settled the prairie, creating more need for education. Sharing his vision for Christian education with other committed laymen, Dr. Wayland offered $10,000 and 25 acres of land toward the school if the area churches would contribute toward the project. They took the challenge, and in 1908, Wayland Literary and Technical Institute was founded. Some 98 years later, Wayland keeps the good doctor's dream and vision alive by educating students in a Christian environment. Help us honor his original vision and his lifelong legacy. 1950s BEVERLY BUSH ARRENDELL, BA'59, and BEN BAGWELL, BA'59, were married on June 16 at First United Methodist Church in Arlington, Texas, with Dr. Charles Wade, executive Gifts to the Dr. Wayland statue may be sent to: Office of Advancement, 1900 W. 7th St., CMB 621, Plainview, Texas 79072 29 Alums dedicate scholarship to parents The family of Robert Clinton and Bessie May Malone gathered in Waco on June 17 to dedicate the scholarship plaque in their name, in conjunction with a family wedding.

I have two
Runnable classes, and I want to inject a dependency between them, so that the
SecondProcedure runs using the
Table created by the
class FirstProcedure implements Runnable {
private Table composers = new Table();
public void run() {
// populates the composers table
public Table getComposers() {
return composers;
class SecondProcedure implements Runnable {
private Table composers;
public void run() {
// writes the name of each composer to the console
public Table setComposers(final Table composers) {
this.composers = composers;
The idea is that in my main class I can instantiate both of the procedures, inject the relevant table (which should reference correctly even though it won't be populated by this point), work out the dependencies between the two procedures, and then run them in the right order. i.e. there will be a unique instance of each of these two procedures (but I'm intentionally avoiding the Singleton (anti)pattern so that I can have proper unit tests).
How can I go about this using Guice?
Can I annotate the
setComposers method with something like:
@InjectTable(procedure=FirstProcedure.class, name="composers")
public Table setComposers(final Table composers) {
this.composers = composers;
and have a Guice module which will bind the
Table in the
SecondProcedure based on the class and name of the provided field?
I don't see anything which quite fits this paradigm in the
bind() methods of
(Aside from this, I'm not too keen on the design for this annotation itself, with the name of the field being in a string, instead of referring to the method explicitly somehow.)

DEFINITION of 'Third-Party Verification - TPV'
When an outside organization reviews a customer's information to ensure that it is accurate, and to confirm intent. Third-party verification is often used with sales departments to verify that a potential customer has interest before passing the customer on to a salesperson. TPV is also used in situations in which a customer wants to provide or update information but cannot readily deliver a contract or physical copy of that information because the update is occurring over the phone or online.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Third-Party Verification - TPV'
Third-party verification allows a company to reference the interaction history of an independent third party in the case that a customer says that he or she did not authorize an account change or transaction to take place. In order to move out of the verification process, the customer must agree that a transaction is going to take place, which demonstrates that the agreement is legally binding. It is sometimes required by law, especially with the advent of the internet and do-not-call phone lists.

My special skills are copying aliases and rapid-fire reposting of old messages so as to control the message boards from those evil shorts and bashers. Oh, and I work 80 hours a week (trust me) and pay my fair share. I also hate rich people and when not posting as Vinnie, I post as............WALLISWEAVER. I'm a slimebag liberal and proud of it!
As you can see from Wallis' and mine almost simultaneous posts, we are not the same person.
"when not posting as Vinnie, I post as............WALLISWEAVER. I'm a slimebag liberal and proud of it! "
[I have not ever used aliases nor will I ever. But it's funny to see a guy using an obvious alias calling out other people. Stalker boy, your cup of hypocrisy runneth over. The stalking needs to end. Continue and I will ask Yahoo to b-slap you to whatever cyber hades exists for creeps like you...]
The guy that says shorts are financial terrorists 2 years ago that now brags about shorting ARM daily speaks of hypocrisy. You cannot make the stuff up that comes out of the mouth of this "man."
F&U&C&K YOU. all you do with your posts is attack Wallis. Are you demented or something? go f&u&c&k yourself.
haha! Wally wearing multiple hat tonight. I guess ya gotta wear multiple hats when you work 80 hours a week. LOL!
