Web Services in JAVA
Web Services Martin Senger email@example.com Abstract • Web Services is a technology applicable for computationally distributed problems, including access to large databases – What other technologies were/are available and how they compare with Web Services? • The main buzzwords: – Integration & Standardization & Access by programs Why to use more than one computer? • Distributed resources – access to shared data – access to shared programs – access to CPU (e.g. many desktop PCs together), to memory, to special devices (e.g. printer) • Complete independence on the internal implementation Distributed architecture • gives – access to distributed resources – development encapsulation • maintainability, re-usability, legacy-awareness – implementation independence • requires – adding a communication layer between parts – synchronization of efforts • including such nasty things as distributed garbage collection Distributed architecture Waiting for Sending requests Communication protocol, Data format requests, (known location, getting known port) results • Basic questions are: – What kind of protocol to use, and what data to transmit – What to do with requests on the server side Traditional CGI-based approach Waiting for Sending requests Data as name/value pairs requests, (known location, getting known port) results • cgi-bin scripts: – Data transmitted as name-value pairs (HTML forms) – Transport over (state-less) HTTP protocol – no standards for keeping user sessions (state-fullness) – server side: a script is called CORBA-based approach Waiting for Sending requests Data in binary format requests, (known location, getting known port) results • CORBA: – Data transmitted as objects (at least it looks like that) – Transport (usually) over well standardised IIOP protocol – user sessions (state-fullness) very inter-operable – server side: an RPC call is made SOAP-based communication Waiting for Sending requests Data in XML format requests, (known location, getting known port) results • SOAP: – Data in a well-defined XML format – Transport over various protocols • HTTP, SMTP are the most used, perhaps because they are firewall-friendly – server side: either an RPC call or a message delivered Web services • A collection of XML-based technologies developed by the e-business community to address issues of: – service discovery – interoperable data exchange and/or application invocation – service compositions (workflow, business processes) • Major developers include: – Apache, IBM, HP, SUN & Microsoft (.NET) • http://www.webservices.org/ W3C (working group) definition • "A Web service is a software application identified by a URI, whose interfaces and bindings are capable of being defined, described and discovered as XML artefacts. A Web service supports direct interactions with other software agents using XML based messages exchanged via internet-based protocols." • http://www.w3c.org/TR/2002/WD-wsa-reqs-20020819 Web Services Architecture Let a program "click on a web page" Web Services Stack SOAP • Simple Object Access Protocol – http://www.w3c.org/TR/SOAP/ • A lightweight protocol for exchange of information in a decentralised, distributed environment • Two different styles to use: – to encapsulate RPC calls using the extensibility and flexibility of XML – …or to deliver a whole document without any method calls encapsulated Request: setHelloMessage Request: getHelloMessage XML Messaging Using SOAP WSDL • Web Services Definition Language – http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl/ • An XML-based language for describing Web Services – what the service does (description) – how to use it (method signatures) – where to find the service • It does not depend on the underlying protocol • But: It is not much human-readable Hello.wsdl <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <wsdl:definitions targetNamespace="http://localhost:8080/axis/services/Hello" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:SOAP- ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:impl="http://localhost:8080/axis/services/Hello-impl" xmlns:intf="http://localhost:8080/axis/services/Hello" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:wsdlsoap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <wsdl:message name="setHelloMessageRequest"> <wsdl:part name="in0" type="xsd:string"/> </wsdl:message> <wsdl:message name="getHelloMessageResponse"> <wsdl:part name="return" type="xsd:string"/> </wsdl:message> <wsdl:message name="setHelloMessageResponse"> </wsdl:message> <wsdl:message name="getHelloMessageRequest"> </wsdl:message> <wsdl:portType name="HelloWorldService"> <wsdl:operation name="getHelloMessage"> <wsdl:input message="intf:getHelloMessageRequest"/> <wsdl:output message="intf:getHelloMessageResponse"/> </wsdl:operation> <wsdl:operation name="setHelloMessage" parameterOrder="in0"> <wsdl:input message="intf:setHelloMessageRequest"/> <wsdl:output message="intf:setHelloMessageResponse"/> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:portType> <wsdl:binding name="HelloSoapBinding" type="intf:HelloWorldService"> <wsdlsoap:binding style="rpc" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/> <wsdl:operation name="getHelloMessage"> <wsdlsoap:operation soapAction=""/> <wsdl:input> <wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" namespace="getHelloMessage" use="encoded"/> </wsdl:input> <wsdl:output> <wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" namespace="http://localhost:8080/axis/services/Hello" use="encoded"/> </wsdl:output> </wsdl:operation> <wsdl:operation name="setHelloMessage"> <wsdlsoap:operation soapAction=""/> <wsdl:input> <wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" namespace="setHelloMessage" use="encoded"/> </wsdl:input> <wsdl:output> <wsdlsoap:body encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" namespace="http://localhost:8080/axis/services/Hello" use="encoded"/> </wsdl:output> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:binding> <wsdl:service name="HelloWorldServiceService"> <wsdl:port binding="intf:HelloSoapBinding" name="Hello"> <wsdlsoap:address location="http://localhost:8080/axis/services/Hello"/> </wsdl:port> </wsdl:service> </wsdl:definitions> UDDI (and alternatives) • Universal Description, Discovery and Integration – http://www.uddi.org • UDDI creates a platform-independent, open framework & registry for: – Describing services – Discovering businesses – Integrating business services • The UDDI may be less used than predicted, especially on the Internet level • BioMoby - an alternative for Life Sciences domain?

What is similar • The programming effort and maintainability is roughly the same both for Web Services and CORBA – For CORBA I need an ORB • …but do you know anybody doing WS without a SOAP toolkit? – For CORBA I need an IDL compiler • …not always (ask Perl folks) • …for WS you use frequently stubs generated from WSDL – …similar answers for valuetype/custom encoding, etc. 2. What is (IMHO) better • WS are easier to deploy because of their firewall- friendliness • WS are quite well marketed (both from IT companies and Open Source projects) • Integration of WS into workflows seems to be very dynamic and very real topic – comparing with CORBA Components 3. What is (IMHO) worse • Peer-to-peer access is problematic – notification by "server-push" is harder to achieve • User sessions (server's state-fullness) are less standardised – …and therefore less inter-operable • Many parts yet-to-be-done, or they are quite complex (notification, transactions, security, etc.) So what? • Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater – combine the existing projects with a new Web Services layer; in most cases it is not so difficult • Apply existing standards to new Web Services projects – think MDA – it may help, even without the whole OMG adoption process Conclusions • Distributed computing is inevitable • More accesses by programs than by clicking on hyperlinks • More technologies of distributed architecture will collaborate • The better standards we have the better results we'll get • Web Services is not a new hype but a trend to follow

Comedian learns why you should never prank cops
Randy Liedtke's iPhone cookie prank backfired on him, and he let the Twitter world know about it
By PoliceOne Staff
LOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles comedian apparently decided to bake cookies that looked eerily like iPhones to lure cops into pulling him over for talking on what appears to be a phone while driving – but the joke was on him.
Randy Liedtke decided to narrate his publicity stunt/prank via Twitter – pictures and all. His intention, according to his Tumblr page, was to take a bite of his phone-shaped cookie in front of the officer that pulled him over and ask if cookies were against the law.
Wednesday morning his devious plan saw results as he tweeted a picture of a cop car pulled over behind him.
"Says I have a warrant for unpaid parking tickets? Making me go with him," Liedtke's next tweet read.
His last tweet on the subject was a snapshot of him holding up what looks like a citation and the words "Wasn't worth it. I'm an idiot... No more iPhone Cookies."

Ended up staying here for longer than planned while my home was gettting renivated. Nice location on Woodward Ave just south of Long Lake road. Less than five minutes to I-75, under ten minutes to both downtown Birmingham with great dining and business districts of Troy. Staff was friendly, did not have any negative experiences like other reviewers noted. Clean facilities but clearly showing their age.
Place could use a renovation
Clean rooms, nice location
I did not have hot water in room 4 out of 7 days. The staff told me it was fixed. I woke up at 4:30 am on departure day and showered with cold water. I needed to catch a flight so didn't have much options.
We asked every day to change rooms, ours was wet, dirty and window doesn't close, toilet seat broken, but was NEVER changed, kept saying ask tomorrow.
Toilet was dirty. Counter that holds TV was dirty as well as eating table.
The complimentary bar and food was an unexpected surprise!
Very spacious room and comfy bed.
Customer service, and hotel was awesome very elegant
Filthy room, something you would expect in a ghetto
Great location staff was wonderful!
Coffee empty both mornings of my stay.
I had a great experience here. I was looking for a cheap, clean, basic room to stay for a couple of nights by myself while I was in town for business. This room fit the bill and I would definitely stay here again as it was a great value for the money.
There was a very slight smell to the room. Not bad but you noticed it when you walked in.
Front desk was very helpful
availability of coffee etc in the room only once a week. rest of the day, we need to go down to the lobby/Gym to get coffee.
Hotel was clean,quiet,and very nice.I really felt at home.
They need more parking spaces near the side doors .
Wonderful facility, beautiful room, comfortable beds
The free breakfast offering was great. The three bar drinks per person for each day along with the snacks were also a nice way to welcome the guests. The rooms and hotel were very clean. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Good value. Close to Detroit and very convienent.
Nothing. Pool could be larger, but not bad.
The bed was very comfy
The room could use a refresh in layout
I liked the location. I liked the lobby.
I thought my room was small. I told the lady that checked us in we needed two wake up calls in the morning for a dance competition . We didn't get any wake up call and my daughter was unable to compete, witch was the sole reason we stayed at the hotel.
Staff was wonderful
Pool was only 3 ft deep, and had to pay for internet
Overall good location and experience
The mix up at check-in
Nice sized room.
Bathroom was ada and flooded everytine took a shower
Wanted to use the fireplace, but since it was a wood-burning fireplace with no wood - no fire.
Also, breakfast was suppose to be ready at 7. We had a swimmer who was headed for a meet, and we had to find some place else for her to eat, because it wasn't ready at the hotel. There were many people sitting in the breakfast room waiting just like we were!

This Halcyon Camino Trekking Bike been designed as a Mens Bike but if you have a larger build it could be suitable for a lady rider also. Some of the considerations for Ladies Bikes are that they have a lower top tube, this assumes that woman is wearing a skirt or dress. The level of the tube also makes mounting and dismounting much easier and safer.
Ladies bicycles have been designed with the body structure in mind. For example the seat and handlebars are closer than a men's bicycle. The brake levers will also be a shorter distance from the bars due to smaller hands. The seat (or saddle) generally is wider and has more padding.
PLEASE NOTE: Some assembly will be required, full instructions are provided in the box. You will be required to do the following; fit handlebars, fit front wheel, adjust brakes, adjust gears, fit pedals, fit saddle (pre mounted to seat post) and inflate the tyres.
Please read all instructions first prior to attempting to assemble, disregarding these could result in injury.

When buying a bike there are many considerations you need to think of before you make your purchase. With the ever growing popularity of cycling the bike trade has increased. This huge demand has seen manufacturers adapting their bicycle designs to suit a wider range of people and their travelling needs.
One of the common questions you need to ask yourself is "What will I be using my bike for"? How you use your bike is going to be vital in the decision you make. Most modern bikes today are ideal and versatile for the everyday use, but understanding your key goals will make your ride much easier.
Long Distance Commuting (travelling to work, shops or for weekend fun):
If you intend to use your bike for getting to work every day then you will be looking for something that is quick and comfortable. The best option for this is the Hybrid Bike, which is suited for roads, trails and pathways. This style of bike gives the rider an upright position, giving comfort all round.
Short Distance Commuting (travelling to work or shops):
For quick or short journeys, such as popping down to your local shop the Roadster Bike is the ideal cycle for you. This classic bike gives you an upright and gracious position. This is really for the short journeys so if you intend to use for long periods of time a Hybrid Bike would be more suitable.
Alternatively if you are making short trips with a mix of public transport (i.e. train ride) you may want to consider the practicalities. In very busy cities mixing your transportation can be space limiting therefore we would suggest a Folding Bike. Simply collapse the foldable bike down in just a few minutes, take on the means of transport and even take into your office, as they really do fold up that small!
Outdoor Sports (exploring the trails and off road tracks):
If you want to explore more than just a trail and discover the countryside or you just want to get creative in the bike park then a Mountain Bike will be a suitable option. Mountain biking is quite a popular design as the upright and wide position give extra control and comfort on the terrain. The fat tyres aid in grip, while the large range of gears deals with the changing ground surface and the powerful brakes help to deal with the conditions.
Easy Leisure (travelling on roads with little effort):
One of the latest designs in bike technology is the Electric Bike. This has helped many to enjoy cycling while not pushing themselves passes their fitness levels. Although they can be used just like a normal bicycle their motor technology can help the rider overcome difficult conditions, such as hills or moving quickly away from traffic lights.

Restaurant Review: Bright, Appealing Santina Transports You to Positano via Miami Beach
Two stars for Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi's latest high-concept restaurant.
Two stars for Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi's latest high-concept restaurant.
It's a deep-fried sea bass fillet with sliced tomato, gobs of olive-caper tartar sauce, and heaps of slaw served on a toasted Amy's bun.
"The goal was to invert risotto," says co-owner Mario Carbone.
A look at Major Food Group's latest.
Say good-bye to the salmon cannelloni, probably, on January 1.
Mario Carbone, Marc Forgione, Amanda Cohen, Kevin Pemouile, too, and that's just the beginning.
The red-sauce enthusiasts behind Carbone and Parm go Gallic.
The tarte au citron will be made with preserved lemons.
There's lots to learn about this month's most anticipated new restaurant.
Duck à l'orange with ras El hanout and lots more.
The restaurant opens mid-August.
A flurry of activity at the address is certainly good news.
"This is an explosive year. All the things that we've been working toward are coming to fruition," they say.
New York City nabs three spots on Alan Richman's annual list.
We asked four great chefs and one cocktail whiz to personalize the impersonal.
Whatever it is, it's slated to open next spring.
Italian Thanksgiving comes early this year.
The cooks are doing some of the front-of-house stuff now.
Agrodolce wings it is.
Not content to simply shuck and serve, chefs are taking raw-bar preparations to the next level.

Here are a number of reviews from various websites and comments that have been left in our Guestbook in reception here at the Argyll Hotel.
We stayed in room 102 which is a double room on the ground floor. On arrival we were greeted by the very friendly receptionist who told us how to find the room and told us about the breakfast option. The room was very clean and in good decorative order and was a fair size. Being at the back of the building it was very quiet as its away from the main road. The bathroom was excellent and was one of the best i've experienced in a hotel of this type. There was the usual tea/coffee making facilities as well as a flat screen tv with freeview channels. As I said before the room was incredibly quiet which meant we had no problem sleeping in the very comfortable bed. We had the breakfast which was an all you can eat buffet style with all types from a fry up to cereal and toast with tea, coffee and fruit juices on tap. The food was very good and the staff were constantly keeping you topped up with tea and coffee and cleaning away used plates and cutlery. The location is perfect for anyone visiting the SSE Hydro arena being a 15 minute walk from the venue. I have to say £75 for a double room this close to the wonderful city centre on a Saturday represents excellent value for money and would recommend this hotel to anyone. My one and only very small observation is the size of the bath towels which barely wrap round you but this in no way detracts from this excellent hotel.
I recently stayed here for with a few friends for a girls weekend away. we arrived at the hotel too early to check in but the receptionists were more than happy to store our luggage away for us which was great. The hotel is quite far from the city centre but only took us about 15 mins on foot. Taxis are very reasonable though if needed. The room for four of us was spacious and very clean. Our room faced the street so there was some noise but nothing that kept us awake. The breakfast in the morning was good and filled us up for a second day of shopping!
A thoroughly enjoyable and comfortable stay
Had booked to stay in Guest House but on arrival was upgraded to the Hotel. Reception staff very helpful and friendly. Hotel room (twin) was good size, very comfortable and clean. All facilities as advertised. Breakfast buffet was great and good choices -something available for everyone. We opted for cooked breakfast – piping hot and very, very tasty. Waiting staff couldn't have been nicer! Great location for those who don't mind a short walk to SECC or attending concert etc. I have no hesitation in recommending staying at the Argyll – we will certainly be back.
Hi Patricia and Kristy,
We would like to thank you for this amazing stay and the pretty days in Glasgow.
Our hearts will cry for having to leave this fantastic land called Scotland.
We enjoyed our stay in your hotel and we hope to return as soon as possible.
We also want to thank the breakfast staff and the young boy (Marcin) that helped us print the boarding passes for our return to Rome.
I'm hopeful to live and look back on other days in Scotland.
Kisses and huggies,
Mattia and Gabriella
Nice Hotel, very nice people.
Very polite and attentive staff. Receptionist on the 24/01 (Patricia) was great – gave us bus details to get into town – very cheerful and friendly.
Everyone makes this hotel warm and cosy. Fab staff, Linda at breakfast and the night porter were both wonderful. You're all doing a great job.
Nothing was too much trouble for Patricia. Also very knowledgeable. Will come back to this hotel again.
We love the Argyll Hotel, it feels like home away from home. This is our 4th visit, over many years when visiting Glasgow friends. Wifi in the hotel – excellent. Very nice stay.
Very nice stay. Lovely, clean room. Girl on reception very efficient. Not forgetting the cleaner. A gent from housekeeping carried my bag over the road without being asked. Very nice. Thank you all.

New MUPPETS MOVIE in the Works Without Jason Segel
Vulture reports that a new film featuring the Muppets is in the works however writer Jason Segel will not be involved in the project.
The Muppets director James Bobin and co-writer Nicolas Stoller will pen the sequel to the recent hit movie starring the furry puppets. Segel, who currently stars in the CBS comedy 'How I Met Your Mother' is reportedly too busy to collaborate on the upcoming film due to TV and movie committments. The actor will soon appear in the 'Five Year Engagement' and 'This Is Forty', both scheduled to be released in theaters in the coming months.
Segel and Stoller approached Disney in 2008 with the idea of reviving the Muppet characters into a feature length film. No word yet on whether Segel will appear as an actor in the sequel.

Go for long walks on the ice
The ocean around Nain is solid ice for all of winter but in the spring it begins to melt. On hot days huge pools of beautiful fresh water form on the ice but in the evening, when the sun disappears, they freeze over again.
Walking on the ice is a real pleasure because you are there with who you choose to be with and there is no one else around.

There is a lot of History in Labrador.
People have lived on the coast of Labrador for thousands of years. Sometimes people pick up arrow heard and other stone tools. Lots of these were donated to the Museum. Unfortunatly, the Moravian Museum burned down and then the Archives were lost in another fire.
All was lost in the fires and the community have has had a very serious setback but while you are there, maybe some of the locals might show you some things that they have. Perhaps a small Irory figurine, some chert tools and maybe a bronze or copper arrow head.

Sit in a field of beautiful poppies!!
You always get the impression of Labrador as cold, stark, icy and unforgiving. For example, Jacque Cartier, the great French explorer called Labrador the Land that God gave to Cain. But when the snow melts in the in the summer, beautiful flowers blossem everywhere. There are large fields of beautiful poppies all around Nain. They are Yellow, Orange and sometimes white.
Nain is great because you can leave all of the hustle and bustle behind. Instead nestle down in the sand and the scurvy grass. Listen to the surf and smell the wild flowers.

Draw water from Nain's village pump
There is a village pump in the "Old Village of Nain and it is still used because many of the homes in the older section of the community, for one reason or another, often do not have working toilets or water. So you can see grandmothers out there in the middle of winter drawing five gallon buckets of water for their families.
Labrador Inuit Association Boardroom
One of Nain's more modern buildings is the Labrador Inuit Association headquarters.
A lot of people like to get the opportunity to visit because of the beautiful labradorite floor that is installed in the boardroom, a massive polar bear rug, amazing local carvings and the halls are covered with history as you can observe all of the LIA past presidents.
There are no organized tours of this building and it is likely to be much busier now since the Labrador Inuit land claim has been ratified by the members but if you ask politely or know someone in the building I am sure they will be happy to show off their facility!!

Moravian Church
On of Nain's most distinct buildings is the Moravian Church.
The Church, established by the Moravians, has Church Elders and Chapel Servants (there are English and Inuktitut services, English and Inuktitut Choirs, and a Brass Band).
A pastor with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Newfoundland is also resident in Nain.
The Moravians are a big part of the Nain history and its worth stopping in here for a look.

So I had my first official OB appointment today. From the time I went in 2 weeks ago and today I gained 10 lbs! I know not good when I started at 245ish pounds already (according to the doctor's office it was 254).
They want me to gain nothing. I have no idea how to do this because I've struggled with my weight my entire life and eat for comfort/boredom and because I'm such a damn good cook lol.
What do I do? They said it would be good if I even lost a few pounds. I have my next appointment on April 19th and they want to see no weight gain.
How do I do this?

Jamie Redknapp
Football Expert & Columnist
That winning feeling
Jamie Redknapp expects Liverpool to win the Carling Cup and says it could act as a springboard.
Last Updated: 24/02/12 8:14am
I often get asked is it more important to play Champions League football or to win a trophy? I think it changes throughout your career but, ultimately, it's about winning things.
When you hang up your boots you are judged on what you've won, not whether or not you got to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Tottenham had a fantastic run in the Champions League last season, but what did the players have to show for it? The only thing you come away with is memories.
Liverpool's history has been built on winning trophies and that's exactly what they'll be aiming to do on Sunday against Cardiff.
People might say the Carling Cup isn't the most important trophy in the world, but winning is a habit and you only have to look at what happened last year to see that.
Arsenal went into the final against Birmingham absolutely flying. They were still in the hunt for the Premier League, FA Cup and the Champions League at that point, but they lost to Birmingham and it really knocked the stuffing out of them.
Compare that with Manchester City, who won the FA Cup and are now going for the title, and it becomes pretty obvious what a difference winning just one trophy can make.
City have got bigger resources than Arsenal and have spent a lot more money, but having a winning mentality is priceless. Up to that point City always seemed to have a bit of an inferiority complex, having spent so many years in the shadow of Manchester United.
But they beat United in the semi-final last year, beat Stoke in the final and have gone from strength to strength. Liverpool will be hoping a win on Sunday can do the same for them.
Kenny Dalglish is a winner, he always has been, and he will be trying to instil that into his players. The club have had a bad few months and, as a former player and captain, I have to admit it's been hard.
Liverpool, Kenny Dalglish and Luis Suarez have all accepted where they went wrong and I think everyone just wants to move on now and this is a great opportunity to do that.
They are obviously massive favourites to win, but Cardiff will start the game with exactly the same chance as Birmingham did last year - and we all know what happened there.
Birmingham were a Premier League side and Cardiff are in the Championship, but Birmingham were sitting in 16th in the table when they headed to Wembley and I don't think there would've been a great deal of difference between that Birmingham side and Malky Mackay's men right now.
Malky's done a fantastic job getting them to the final and they're doing well in the Championship, too. I played against him as a player and I always had a feeling he would go on to be a top manager, which is why his success hasn't surprised me.
But If Cardiff are to win this trophy they will need a little bit of luck, but it's not out of the realms of possibility.
They'll also need their experienced players to have good games, the likes of Peter Whittingham, Kevin McNaughton, Kenny Miller and Stephen McPhail who, as long as he is fit, I can see starting on Sunday.
He hasn't been a regular this season, but he's a quality player and you need to keep the ball at Wembley, so his experience will be invaluable, as will Miller's.
McNaughton is a lovely footballer, too, and a nice right-back who always shows quality on the ball, but Whittingham is definitely the man who makes that team tick.
He's become their talisman since moving into central midfield. He takes all their free-kicks and corners and someone in the Liverpool midfield will have to get a hold of him, or he will cause them problems.
As for Liverpool, Kenny's got a decision to make up front. Suarez will definitely start, but he'll have to decide if he wants to go with Andy Carroll or Craig Bellamy alongside him. It's a tough one and whoever he leaves out will be really hurt, but it's a nice problem to have.
Carroll has been playing well recently, but Bellamy is a Cardiff boy and this match will mean so much to him, so I'd be amazed if he didn't start.
That said, the Liverpool gaffer might decide, and I'm only speculating here, that the emotional side of the occasion would be too much for Bellamy and he'd be better off bringing him on off the bench if they need a winner.
There's also the chance that he goes with all three. Suarez played a lot of his football at Ajax on the right-hand side of a three-man attack, so it's something he can do.
But the bottom line is Kenny has a lot of options, more so than his opposite number, and that's not a bad place to be going into a final.
Redknapp reckons
Cardiff will go into this as underdogs, but we all saw what happened to the underdogs last year. They'll need their big players to perform, especially Peter Whittingham and I wouldn't be surprised if Kenny Miller got himself on the score sheet, but they're going to need a fair bit of luck, too. Liverpool are rightly favourites and you have to fancy their chances with so many match winners in their side.
Jamie's gem
LUIS SUAREZ (Liverpool):Whether you love him or hate him, Luis Saurez strikes me as the sort of guy who won't let anything that has happened affect him. I'm not saying that's a good thing or a bad thing, but in a way you have to admire someone who is that mentally strong. He'll be buzzing around the pitch the way he always is and if there's one thing I'm certain about, it's that he will be the one making all the headlines on Monday morning.

It references girls who lounge around the house in nothing but a robe. These girls are usually are high maintenance, but have no problem hanging around their house naked. Many times guys will deal with the high maintenance that comes with Robe Girls because they don't want to miss out on the sex. The term Robe Girl is often applicable to most any girl who gets out of the shower and into a robe, bypassing getting dressed.
Sarah is so high maintenance, she's probably a robe girl.

Oil Discovery
Statoil: N. Sea Discovery Larger than Expected
Communication between the Aldous and Avaldsnes oil discoveries in the North Sea has now been confirmed. In combination these discoveries may represent an oil structure of between 500 million and 1.2 billion barrels of recoverable oil equivalent. If the upper part of the interval strikes pay dirt, the discovery will be one of the ten largest oil finds ever on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS). Statoil (OSE: STL, NYSE: STO) has a 40% stake both in licence PL 265, where Aldous was discovered, and in PL 501, where the Avaldsnes discovery was made. "Aldous/Avaldsnes is a giant oil discovery, and according to our estimates the combined discovery may make the top 10 list of NCS oil discoveries. Norway has not seen a similar oil discovery since the mid-eighties" says Tim Dodson, Statoil's executive vice president for Exploration. This is the third "high-impact discovery" (*) for Statoil as an operator in 2011. In April of this year the 250 million barrel Skrugard oil discovery was made in the Barents Sea, and the 150-300 million barrel Peregrino South oil field was discovered offshore Brazil. "The discoveries are a result of Statoil's exploration strategy of prioritising high-impact opportunities, while focusing on our established core areas," says Dodson.
Norway Confirms Small Arctic Oil Find
Norwegian oil explorer Det norske made a small oil discovery in the Arctic Barents Sea with a gross oil column of about 30 metres and much poorer reservoir quality than expected, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate said on Monday. Det norske earlier said it found some oil in the prospect but initial volumes did not justify development. Det norske operates the licence and holds a 20 percent stake. Other shareholders include Sweden's Lundin Petroleum (20 percent), Tullow (15 percent)
Spirit Energy 76 Participates in Significant Deepwater Discovery
Spirit Energy 76, Unocal Corporation's U.S. Lower 48 exploration and production unit, said the exploratory well drilling the Mirage prospect in the Gulf of Mexico deepwater is a significant oil discovery.

The company said it is too soon to estimate the extent of the discovery

"Very nice apartment in a not-yet touristy neighborhood of Paris. The local agent was helpful with information about the apartment and the neighborhood, and was always available to answer any questions. The private terrace is sunny in the afternoons, and was a lovely place to relax between our morning and evening outings. There is a great Tuesday/Friday open air market just two blocks away on Richard Lenoir (where Madame Maigret shopped). The kitchen has everything needed for preparing the wonderful finds in the market. And, for morning coffee treat, there is a fabulous bakery around the corner at 34, Rue de Toudric. Their chocolate pistachio "escargot" (morning pastry) was mouth-watering (this is a bakery only, no coffee/tea served). We thouroughly The only thing we found that could use "refreshing" is the mattress. While comfortable, it is beginning to sag towards the center.

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. As Carmelo Anthony crumpled on the floor with his hands cupping his groin, mayhem unfolded on the United States' sideline. Tyson Chandler and Deron Williams screamed at Argentina players and threatened to meet them at midcourt. Mike Krzyzewski bellowed into an official's face. All around the Americans' bench, there were fingers wagging toward Argentina, threats hanging heavy in the air. Finally, Anthony staggered to his feet and screamed to Facundo Campazzo for jabbing him between the legs and running away. "Campuzzo got hit in the [groin], too" Argentina's Luis Scola said. "That stuff happens." The United States had turned a tight game into a blowout, and restraint no longer resonated within the Argentina guard's mind when Anthony unleashed one more 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter.
