|With the bride celebrating wedding week
Recently at a local spot, Beer Kitchen, I was so happy they had a gluten free menu AND A gluten free bun for sandwiches that I forgot that part of the reason I don't typically eat the bread at most places is because it has sunflower oil, dairy, and almost always potato starch in it.
Of course, this time I realized it just two bites in. But those two bites of a nightshade - in this case - managed to cause my skin to start hurting within a few hours, and I woke up the next day to a lovely scattering of inflamed, painful pustules all over my face. Not worth what it is likely doing to my poor immune system.
This past weekend, we drove to Omaha, Nebraska to attend the wedding of a dear friend - actually two dear friends. The guy she has chosen to spend her life with is an incredible human being, and we are so thrilled to have been invited to the wedding. While in Omaha, I experienced a very similar theme to my eating challenges at home. Yes, some places have gluten free menu options. And there were even a few places that I was determined to patronize based on what I had read online (mostly via Yelp). But the first place we went was a disappointment (for ME simply because of my many food issues). They hAD gluten free options. But it was just store bought Udi's bread, which I can no longer eat because it contains other ingredients I react to. They did not actually MAKE gluten free menu items in house, as I had hoped.
The next place we went though was awesome. They had plenty of vegan and gluten free options. And I did another one of my "oops I forgot to ask my 10 million questions about the ingredients" things. I was SO excited that the server confirmed that in the gluten free blueberry pancakes that they had recently started using almond milk, that I completely FORGOT that I needed to ask WHAT type of gluten free flour they DID use. It is that teeter totter effect for me. I remembered the gluten and the milk component. But once I realized I might be able to order a pancake off the menu like a normal person, I completely forgot that they could be made with potato starch or other offending ingredients.
The sad part was when I realized this, I had already eaten half of a pancake. I almost started crying because I was so upset with myself. I try SO hard. And it just seems that the room for error is so big, so likely. But then it hit me. I took three deep belly breaths, and calmed myself immediately down. The way my body was going to react to these pancakes was completely dependent upon the emotions I was attaching to them. And up until that brief wave of panic where I freaked out, I was attaching the deepest love, excitement, and overall appreciation for these glorious pancakes. So I took another bite, without the panic, without any form of worry or guilt. And I enjoyed every bite. I opted to not even ask the server what was in them. At that point, I knew that if it WAS something like potato starch, there was nothing I could do. I was not going to taint this experience. I also remembered that I had selected a vegan friendly place in hopes of finding dairy free options - but also being able to have some meat as my protein to keep my blood sugar balanced. So I ordered an al a carte chicken breast. . And this place was so cool because they consider themselves a vegetarian restaurant. Yet they have humanely raised meat options. They know how to cater to gluten free and vegan diners, and I wanted to order the entire menu.
We have been so fortunate the past few years, as nearly all of the weddings we have attended have been actually FUN. They have all been non-traditional, which for me is a huge plus. I don't like weddings, especially not the traditional ones. And I despise forced social obligations. So the fact that I seem to have some of the most creative and independent friends, who have realized that weddings are what they make them FOR themselves, versus trying to impress, or please others has made me almost change my stance on having a wedding. Part of why we are not yet officially married is because I got sick, and still keep wanting to feel better. But the other part is due to the fact that we will end up having to elope because I don't want to deal with having a wedding. So if I can stop being so obsessive over picking a place, a time, and an officiant (who needs to be someone I know and respect), we just might get hitched in the near future. The fun we have had at recent weddings has motivated me to get on the ball with this.
Pre Wedding shenanigans included a sold out concert at the Slowdown venue in Omaha with the groom, Matt's, band, The Faders opening for Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band. I adore this venue, and it was a treat to be able to see Matt perform (The bride, Crystal, was up on stage as well) at such a professionally run, class act venue.
We made it to a craft cocktail bar. This was fun while it lasted. But I did get back to the hotel and threw up three times. Not sure what my body was rejecting. But it was not happy with me. Reminded me of the days when I still ate gluten.
|Lunch at The French Bulldog
We also went to a cute little place called The French Bulldog. I was able to order a very delicious salad, along with a side order of the pork belly. Everything was addictively good.
The wedding itself was at Sokol Auditorium. The last time I was there was with Crystal (the bride) to see Bright Eyes (coincidentally one of Conor Oberst's bands), and then before that The Yeah Yeah Yeahs with Jinni (one of the bridesmaids and also a dear friend). The absolute best thing about this wedding that I personally can't stop rambling about is the state of the bride and groom. From the week before up to the wedding itself, both of them were genuinely HAPPY. Happy, and not stressed. Not freaking out, and not being insane weirdo head cases like I see with nearly every single bride and some grooms. It was so refreshing to be hanging out with them prior to the wedding, and not feel even a hint of nerves or stress. That is how it should be, yes? It was great.
Once the formalities were done (and they were fairly brief, yet still heartfelt andmeaningful), Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band took the stage. Again, coolest wedding reception EVER. We had some of the most talented folks entertaining us at this already incredible and special event. The mood was positive, laid back, and full of love. I can't say enough good things about this experience. Conor called Crystal up to the stage at one point, where she sang a song to Matt. That was the one part where I might have gotten choked up a bit. But even then, it was just so full of festive energy in the room that I only had a moment of that sentimental sappy emotion. Seeing her up on stage, singing her heart to her now husband was what I had always imagined for her. She is a performer, and she communicates quite a bit through music. So this was so perfect.
|Reception taco bar plate
The best part of all was knowing I was sharing such a special day with some very special people, people who also happen to respect and support my food choices, and my path to wellness. It was a nice change from weddings and social settings of the past. I am hopeful that there will be more experiences like this in my future.

Don't be surprised if in fact Qantas DOES sue this man in civil court, and I think they should even though they will probably not collect any money due to the fact the man will probably have to not only declare bankruptcy but will also have to pay civil fines and possibly some jail time on top of all the rest.
Well, you are probably right but it's the thought that counts.lol
Personally, I wish more of them would as he is not the first to cause a diversion like that, but if they ever do, you never hear about it, and if they do, they need to get the word out; just broadcast it as a deterrent. If they don't, in the case of a US airline, they write it off on taxes and we the taxpayer gets stuck with the bill.
I don't know about the Australian courts, but if this was in America I imagine that if the guy got convicted of the handful of charges they filed against him regarding hellraising on an airplane, they wouldn't have too difficult of a time winning the civil case.
QANTAS won't sue. Criminal law is one thing - civil law is another beast altogether. They supplied the alcohol to him, according to the story in the link, so QANTAS has some/a lot of liability in this too. Did they supply this alcohol to a stone-cold sober passenger? Oh really? (Forgive my cynicism.) I have been on flights and seen people consume the tax-free alcohol that they have brought onto the plane with them. Airlines would do themselves and all of us a big favour if they handed over the liquor that they sell on-board at the exit door.
"The drama unfolded about 30 minutes into the flight as Cooke became heavily intoxicated, drinking from a bottle of vodka he brought on to the aircraft. He became agitated when cabin crew confronted him for lighting a cigarette, Ms Meginyte said."
I think it was his own
Blacklist this guy from any future commercial flights!!!
[This poster has been suspended.]
the pilot's shoulda decended to 12K, de-pressurized, opened a rear-cabin door, and threw the drunk out, instead of dumping all that fuel.
Makes you wonder why he was not charged, let alone sued by Qantas and the Airport for the expenditure
I like your thinking. Is it possible to open the rear-cabin door in flight with the pressure equalised ?
I have two words for Mr. Cooke...JACK-ASS!!!!
he should be required to pay all cost related to the event
How did he get through security with a bottle of vodka?
Read the story. He bought it on the plane. You have to wonder about the wisdom of supplying tax-free bottles of alcohol to any passenger on a long-haul flight before the doors open at the other end.
John, you need to reread the story. Says he brought it on the aircraft. Notice the R? Anyway, back to Torsten's question. How did he make it through security? Do they not have the 3 oz rule or similar?
Well, at least the airline is not the problem with this one. Yes, they dumped $120,000 of fuel just to get this guy off the airplane! Look at the expense of Quantas to do it!
Landing Fees
Ramp Tower Fees
AirTraffic Fees
Push Back Fees
Runway Light Fees
Not to mention: violation of disorderly conduct which carries a penalty of 2 years imprisonment and spitting on and hitting a crew member which carries a max of 10 years.
They flew from Sydney and diverted to Cairns, Australia...1,678 miles away. The airport was closed at the time and had to re-open to facilitate the emergency landing at 1:45am local. Then you have to figure in the security personel, the transportation to the pokey and the smoking violation. Did I leave anything out? Just one person disrupted 350 passengers because of his stupidity...you can't fix "stupid"!
BooCoo bucks was spent on this idiot! And it happens more than you know. It's sad. And people wonder why the airlines get a bad rap.
And the Crew members do their best to do what they do best...to save your ass! Don't mean that in a bad way but we are trained to protect the aircraft and save people's lives, in the event of an emergency. Not to give you a crappy tray of food. I have to say though, he, should not have been put on the aircraft from the "get go"!
Let's hope they make an example of this moron. I couldn't think of anything worse than being stuck on a plane with an obnoxious trouble maker such as this.
On a LanCile flight from Puera Montt to Punta Arenas severel years ago and prior to 9/11.
A passenger sitting just in front of me was being a real problem with the crew, demaning lunch now, attempting to open the cockpit door and in general being stupid. I was trying to
figure out if I should use a belt to tie him down when 3 pretty good size Chilian men came
back to his seat and forced him to stay in it. When we arrived at Punta Arenas the local police came on board and made him stay in his seat until all had deplaned. Found out later that he was a T.V. personality from Santiago and was high on drugs. He spent time in jail.
Everyone on the flight was very uncomfortable. Now, after 9/11, passengers would become more proactive and strapped him to his seat. I now carry heavy duty zip ties in my carryon
This is why I plan ahead. WAY ahead. I never took up smoking, so when I get drunk in a plane I do not feel the urge to smoke in the toilet! When my friends started smoking I would always say "no thanks, I might get drunk on a plane and attempt to smoke".
How did he light the cigarette? So you can have matches and a bottle of vodka? Hundred proof burns real well. Go figure!
Our friend, Mr. Al Cohol does it again.
why waste $120000 THROW HIM OFF at 30000ft into the sea as shark food
oh well,guess you hafta add a straight jacket to the cabin crews TO&E...
Well, note in the charges or in the story, he was not charged with being drunk or for having that bottle of Vodka, and like Torsten posted here below, how did he get it on board?
He bought the bottle at duty free and was not rescreened. Anyway, one can't get to .3 BAC in 30 minutes of flight. He was soused when he boarded. The airline and security should have noticed his impairment and denied boarding.
After all the Crown and Kettle One I got for Christmas yesterday, Im surprised Im not blowing .3 BAC right now!
soon they will have small jail rooms for these type of cases LOL
Well they deserved to lose $120,000. Restrain him and continue the flight. Stupidity rules!!!
BTW, a little late. I missed wishing ya'll a Merry Christmas so here's a late one. I hope Santy was good to you and may an an angel ride on your shoulder this coming year.
Thanks Preacherman, same to you!!!
I have about a foot of snow around my place. Daughter's workplace is closed so she is at home and warm/comfy and son/daughter in law/grandkids are down at her Mom's and warm/comfy. They may come back later today after some melt. It wasn't all that bad as it fell softly last night, BUT, we are sending it and all that Tstorm South of us up your way so you can play in it all for a day or 3.LOL
Let it come, I'm going to Barbados later...
You had better get on out of town and climb fast.lol
Come on Thustt. They deserved it? Would you want to be inconvienienced because of this guys stupity? I would think...NOT!
He has a point though Dee. Bind him and gag him and let him lay in the isle like a dog turd and he will probably not be a repeat offender! Lol. That said, can you think of a worse place to sell alcohol than in an airport or on a plane? Apparently the airlines and port authorities are willing to put up with the consequences to reap the profit. This is coming from someone who has drank their fair share in that environment, but I could live with it either way. Same old story, everyone pays the price for the one rotten apple.
I think I put a "?" mark where it wasn't suppose to be but at any rate, he cost the airline money, spit and punched a crew member? Wallace, I agree with you. This guy was loaded before he got on board and he , most likely, got the alcohol from "Duty Free", which is delivered to the airplane. Don't know why the airlines. and port authorities put up with this. Personally, as a crew member, I did not put up with that kind of behavior. And yes, everybody pays the price for that one bad apple. It happens too often and people wonder why the "ticket prices spike"! Apparently, the airlines and the port authority are willing to "kiss their asses"...I've seen it too many times! It's all about the "All Mighty Dollar"! Not the old days, when it used to be fun and care free.
The "OLD DAYS" are lone gone. The younger generation has taken over and threw values and morality out the window in exchange for a "ME FIRST" attitude and they soundly gave us OBAMA for another 4 years. We have 2 options, Pray that Lord comes and takes us out of this mess or live with it. I personally hope he hurries up because there is no telling what all is going to happen in the next 4 years. My sermon and politics for today!!!!!! GOOD MORNING GANG!!!!!
Oh Preacher...You're killing me! I'm saying to myself...Please baby Jesus...make it fast and not painful! You know...it is the younger generations world and we are just passing thru it! And god help us with the next 4 years of "Obamanation"!! Good morning Syria!!!
In addition, Wallace...Flying used to be "Fun"...now it's a "Burden". No more "Good old days". Happy New Year!!
True. Happy New Year

On February 10, 1961, the 32-year old Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered a speech on the campus of New York University. Dr. King's speech entitled, "The Future of Integration," advocated for civil rights and nonviolent protest for social change. He said, "Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals."
As we prepare to celebrate the 10th Annual NYU MLK Week, we are eager to continue the conversation around action and lead our community to live beyond the dream of Dr. King. The 2015 NYU MLK Week event theme "Beyond A Dream" will serve as a guiding force to commemorate Dr. King's honor and vision to make the world a better place. Three concepts - Reflect, Engage, Ignite - will be explored during this week of conversation and action. The highlight of the week will be the NYU MLK Week University-Wide Event on Thursday, February 5th.
"EVERYBODY CAN BE GREAT, because everybody can serve."
- Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Be a part of the dream and volunteer at the MLK Week of Service events. Click here for more information.
We invite University schools, departments, units, student organizations and alumni to be an integral part of MLK Week 2015. We are in search of unique programming that offers the University community opportunities to reflect on Dr. King's legacy, community service today, and consider the question of where do we go from here?
Program examples include films, lectures, discussion groups, etc.

|Killer Pool Heater "Not the one permitted"
|Written by Steve Frank
|Monday, 17 June 2013 13:58
"If we had inspected it, the odds are, this would not be—we would not be talking about this now." In the course of a trio of reporters asking Boone Planning Director Bill Bailey about the timeline for reopening the Boone Best Western Hotel, a new bombshell was dropped—that the swimming pool
heating system blamed for three deaths at the East King Street hotel was not the system originally put in the building—and in fact, he said, it was not one that was there last year when Planning and Inspection certified the switchover from propane to natural gas, "It appears that's not the heater that we approved, so it's not permitted." And Bailey said they have no record of inspecting the new pool heater. Bailey said they are drafting a letter to the ownership of the hotel, "My understanding, it (the heater) won't meet the code for this building." Bailey also said that the type of heater they found after the third death at the hotel would have used an entirely different exhaust system, not the one the unit was tied into. On the issue of reopening the hotel, Bailey said this and a number of other issues had to be addressed, but he said that the timeline is really up to the hotel owners. 11-year old Jeffrey Williams was buried yesterday in Rock Hill. The boy died June 8th in room 225 at the Best Western, the same room where Daryl Jenkins and his wife, Shirley, 72, died April 16th. Law changes and lawsuits are being considered in the matter.

The Wildlife Conservation Society, founded in 1895, has the clear mission to save wildlife and wild places across the globe. Our story began in the early 1900s when we successfully helped the American bison recover on the Western Plains. Today, we protect many of the world's iconic creatures here and abroad, including gorillas in the Congo, tigers in India, wolverines in the Yellowstone Rockies, and ocean giants in our world's amazing seascapes.
Since our founding, we have forged the power of our global conservation work and the management of our five parks in New York City to create the world's most comprehensive conservation organization. We currently manage about 500 conservation projects in more than 60 countries; and educate millions of visitors at our five living institutions in New York City on important issues affecting our planet. Our parks include: the Bronx Zoo, New York Aquarium, Central Park Zoo, Prospect Park Zoo, and Queens Zoo.
With a commitment to protect 50 percent of the world's biodiversity, we address four of the biggest issues facing wildlife and wild places: climate change; natural resource exploitation; the connection between wildlife health and human health; and the sustainable development of human livelihoods. While taking on these issues, we work across 5.8 million square kilometers (3.6 million square miles), both land and sea, protecting 40 percent of the world's terrestrial biodiversity and 55 percent of its marine biodiversity.
The WCS parks in New York City welcome 4 million visitors each year, and educate millions of schoolchildren on science and conservation issues.
Our history, dating back to ensuring the survival of the American bison, inspires our work each day. We hope our work in turn inspires millions to take action to protect the natural resources that are so important to all life on our fragile Earth.
WCS saves wildlife and wild places worldwide through science, conservation action, education, and inspiring people to value nature.
WCS envisions a world where wildlife thrives in healthy lands and seas, valued by societies that embrace and benefit from the diversity and integrity of life on earth.
WCS's staff and Board of Trustees work together as stewards of conservation around the globe and of cultural life in New York.
Meet our trustees and senior staff >>
From field science and conservation policy to non-profit management and park operations, career opportunities at WCS are as diverse as our work. Together, WCS's nearly 4,000 staff members in New York City and around the world work to change attitudes toward nature and help people imagine wildlife and humans living in harmony.
WCS operates country programs throughout four continents—Africa, Asia, Latin America, and North America—to save the last of the wild. Get the contact information for our country program offices.
WCS offers several programs to support wildlife conservation work across the world, providing graduate education opportunities for future conservationists working in their home countries; offering grants to other nonprofit conservation organizations, state wildlife agencies, and tribal governments; and providing guidance in training and capacity-building to the leaders of tomorrow.

Submission Silicon nanoparticles could lead to on-demand hydrogen generation->
cylonlover writes: Researchers at the University of Buffalo have created spherical silicon nanoparticles they claim could lead to hydrogen generation on demand becoming a "just add water" affair. When the particles are combined with water, they rapidly form hydrogen and silicic acid, a nontoxic byproduct, in a reaction that requires no light, heat or electricity. In experiments, the hydrogen produced was shown to be relatively pure by successfully being used to power a small fan via a small fuel cell.

Making Your Money Work for You
Do you want to get more out of your money? Do you know how long it takes for your investments to double in value? Do you want to retire at 65 or would you rather wait until 75? The earlier you start thinking about (and investing in) your retirement, the sooner you can get to laying back, relaxing and living off of your retirement account.

12 Best Highlighters
If you're not using a highlighter, you might as well put your skin in a nursing home. The easiest way to create a youthful, dewy complexion, these must-have highlighters help turn back the clock
With that said, is it a lost cause to yearn for that perfectly chiseled face and youthful glow from our teenage years? Nope. Here at Total Beauty, our motto is if you don't have it, you can fake it -- with some help from the best highlighter, of course.
Skip ahead to see the 12 best highlighters.
A great highlighter can perk up your complexion, accentuate the features you love, and even camouflage aging skin. Celebrity makeup artist Joanna Schlip calls highlighters "the secret weapon for a youthful, healthy glow -- especially for women ages 40 and over." Highlighter can help minimize dark circles, decrease the look of wrinkles, and mimic a facelift with appropriate placement. The key is knowing how to use it.
"Apply the highlighter under the eyes, above the brows and on the browbone to add life and brightness, which ultimately helps you to look healthier and younger," says celebrity makeup artist Geoffrey Rodriguez.
Schlip also recommends applying highlighter on the apple of your cheeks over your blush where the color is most vibrant. And makeup artist Karen Scott recommends using a highlighter to "give the illusion of a fuller pout by applying a small dab just above the cupid's bow on your lip."
Now that you know all about this anti-aging essential, it's time to find your best highlighter. But don't worry: We've narrowed down your search by compiling our readers' top picks. From creams to powders, high-end makeup counters to the drugstore, these are the 12 best highlighters that are guaranteed to brighten your face.

The War of the Accents: The Reception of Hollywood Spanish Language Films in Los Angeles
Author(s): Colin Gunckel
During the early years of sound, both major studios and independent producers were faced with a series of difficult issues involving foreign language distribution. Through an examination of the substantial coverage devoted to cinema in La opinión, a Spanish language newspaper published in Los Angeles, the author charts the major trends in local Spanish language film exhibition and provides an overview of the discursive environment that shaped the reception of such films. In this context, Spanish language Hollywood films are seen to have facilitated the decline of Spanish language theater in Los Angeles, challenging the authority of elite and middle class cultural authorities and their control over Spanish language entertainment in the city. The paper argues that cinema must be considered alongside a broader and more diverse array of cultural practices, particularly in terms of the relationship between mass culture and national and/or ethnic identity.

By CLAUDETTE LANGLEYSun Advocate reporter
What started out as an attempt to distribute a $3 an hour savings in the wastewater treatment budget to six employees ended up Tuesday night with the Price River Improvement Water District board voting to slice up $14.24 in 16 different pieces.
Trustee Mike Dalpiaz brought a proposal to the PRWID board at the Nov. 6 meeting that a surplus in funds resulted after an assistant supervisor position was not filled. He wanted to take what he said he wanted to take the $3 surplus and divide it evenly among the employee, however by Tuesday night's meeting he discovered the amount was even greater.
"I had to make the recommendation for spreading around what turned out to $5.85 savings from not filling the assistant supervisor position," he said.
The exact amount not withstanding, his suggestion set off a firestorm of ideas and thoughts among the board members about existing salary inequities throughout the district's wage scales and revelations about more surplus monies in other departments.
The Nov. 6 discussion ended with Phil Palmer, district manager and Jeffrey Richens, assistant district manager being tasked with making a thorough review of the wage scales and any surplus monies left in the 2007 budget. Tuesday night they came with a recommendation to disburse a total of $14.24 an hour surplus to 16 PRWID employees.
The administrators culled out about half of the total workforce by eliminating those at the top of the pay scale and those who had recently received raises.
However, their recommendation was put through some hoops before it was finally agreed upon.
Dalpiaz strongly advocated for eliminating just the highest paid workers and divvying the money up between all the rest of the employees, which would have provided an immediate 50 cent hike.
In addition he lead a discussion around how much the district dishes out for IT costs annually.
He said he saw $2,500 being used for technical work on computers and seemed determined to find out if there was any of that money left over.
As the IT discussion took some twists and turns and didn't seem to land anywhere, Boardmember Richard Tatton asked Dalpiaz, "Are you wondering if this might be added to the surplus."
That appeared to be exactly where Dalpiaz was heading but it turned out there wasn't any extra to add to the coffers.
The discussion Tuesday night took the same path as the original one, when board members once again addressed intrinsic inequities throughout the district that they said needed addressing and resolving.
The issues involved several veteran employees who have hit the ceiling in wages, discrepancies between salary for employees with almost the exact amount of time and differences in starting wages that put some employees who had been with the district longer at the same scale as newer employees.
Board members were once again reminded that the larger issues would have to be addressed in the 2008 budget process and the focus was turned back to the business at hand.
"Are we here to fix all wage discrepancies or take the savings and try and fix the worst?" asked Boardmember Karl Houskeeper.
Before moving on to a motion on the surplus, Boardmember Keith Cox wanted some input from the district employees who sat in the audience following the discussion.
"There are a lot of feelings about the wage issue," said Cox. "If the employees are going to feel as if they are being treated fairly they should be included in the solution."
After a few more volleys around the table about overall equity, the need to raise water rates to accommodate fixing the pay scale and a possible delay in making a decision until department supervisors had been consulted, the board turned to the audience for input.
Ken Snook from the culinary water department reminded the board members that in fact classifications had been tossed out and that discussion of people who had topped out wasn't quite on target. He did however give a thumbs up to the proposal for splitting the surplus among the 16 employees.
"I think this is a starting point," he said.
A motion was made to accept Palmer's and Richlen's recommendation which would result in a retroactive raise starting from Nov. 1 of 89 cents an hour. The motion passed with only Dalpiaz voting no.
"I am opposed only because it is not equal across the board," he said.

You are here: Documentation » Configuring TransactionsEssentials » JTA Properties
JTA Properties
Parameters SupportedMany TransactionsEssentials JTA settings can be tweaked. Fortunately most of them have sensible default values so most of the time you do not need to change anything to be ready. Nevertheless it is sometimes useful to be able to change those settings. You can do so by creating a jta.properties file at the root of your classpath. All the names of the properties you can override are stored in the com.atomikos.icatch.config.TSInitInfo class. The most common ones are explained on the rest of this page.
JVM (System) PropertiesThere are three properties of importance which are JVM (or System) properties and cannot be set via a properties file, nor through any programmatic configuration of Atomikos. These properties can be provided via the Java command line as follows:
java -Dcom.atomikos.icatch.file=<path_to_your_file> ...or they can be provided through the Spring Integration. These properties affect how Atomikos should locate an external JTA properties file. If a properties file cannot be located the following messages will be written to stderr:
No properties path set - looking for transactions.properties in classpath... transactions.properties not found - looking for jta.properties in classpath... Failed to open transactions properties file - using default values
Transaction manager
Transaction logs
Console logs
Prior to release 3.8
As of release 3.8More recent releases have abandoned the proprietary logging framework of Atomikos in favor of mainstream logging tools, as explained here.
Referencing Parameter ValuesAs from release 3.2, a parameter value can be based on the value of some other parameter (either within the same properties file or specified as a system property). To reference the value of some parameter, use its name prefixed with '${' and suffixed with '}' - very much like in Ant, the popular Java build tool. Typical examples are show below.
Example 1: referencing another parameter set in the same properties fileThe following specifies that com.atomikos.icatch.output_dir should have the same value as com.atomikos.icatch.log_base_dir
com.atomikos.icatch.log_base_dir = ... com.atomikos.icatch.output_dir = ${com.atomikos.icatch.log_base_dir}
Example 2: referencing a system propertyThe reference mechanism also works for system properties: if a property is not found in the property file itself, Atomikos will look it up in the system properties. The following example applies to Tomcat and sets the Atomikos log dir to the tomcat log dir, available via the Tomcat system property catalina.base
com.atomikos.icatch.log_base_dir = ${catalina.base}/logs
Limitations (pre-4.0)
Avoiding Property File Lookup (pre-4.0)You can avoid lookup of a properties file by setting the following system property:
java -Dcom.atomikos.icatch.no_file=trueWhen you do this, the init parameters must be specified programmatically - see Spring Integration for an example with Spring.
Property Value Lookup (4.0 and later)Property values are now resolved as outlined here...

RICHVILLE An industrial accident Monday morning in the town of DeKalb sent the owner of a sand and gravel company to Upstate Medical University for treatment of what hospital officials called critical injuries.
Ronald J. Stiles, 61, Rensselaer Falls, owner of Process Sand & Gravel, was taken to Upstate, Syracuse, after being trapped in a front loader he was operating when a screening plant collapsed on it.
He was loading stone and gravel and a piece of equipment that separates stone and sand tipped onto the cabin of the loader and trapped the victim, Gouverneur Volunteer Fire Chief Steven M. Young said. He was alert and had difficulty breathing. He took a pretty good hit.
Jonathan N. Graybill, Richville, was working with Mr. Stiles at the pit.
I hollered at him, just trying to get some sort of response, he said. He didnt say nothing.
Randy L. Young, Richville, and an employee of the town of DePeyster, who were on the scene, each operated a front loader to push the screening plant off the excavators cab, relieving some of the pressure on Mr. Stiles.
Mr. Graybill said they didnt want to move him because of possible back injuries, so they waited for the rescue team.
Were just glad we could get it done the way we did, together, Mr. Graybill said.
Firefighters used a hydraulic rescue tool to free Mr. Stiles, who was pinned to the steering wheel of the loader.
Martin A. Deavers, Gouverneur Rescue Squad director of operations, said Mr. Stiles was taken to Hendricks Field airport on Scotch Settlement Road, just a short distance from where the accident happened, and then was flown by LifeNet helicopter to the hospital. Mr. Deavers said Mr. Stiles appeared to have suffered a head injury.
Mr. Graybill contacted Mr. Stiless wife, who was in Burlington, Vt., at the time, to inform her of the accident and her husbands transfer to Upstate.
A hospital supervisor confirmed at 3 p.m. Monday that Mr. Stiles was in fair condition.

I would recommend this item to a friend.
Love it!!!
July 12, 2014
I wear a size 13. I am 5'3 170 lbs. I ordered an XL. I was worried at first because I have big thighs and butt, so judging from the other reviews I didn't think they would fit, but they did. They only problem is they do roll up at the bottom, but that's a minor problem. They definitely lift my bottom and makes it look good in my pants. It's a must buy. My sister wanted a pair, but she was a little skeptical because of the reviews, but she's convinced now...

So far so good
April 19, 2014
I bought these boy shorts because I already have a "butt", per say, but it always needed that extra "umph". These shorts are great for my lunges/squat exercise routine and to give me that confidence that I still got it back there. I absolutely love these boy shorts and hopefully after a couple weeks I will see some improvements
Pros:Really does lift you up
Cons:You can't wear leggings (fitting clothes in general) because the bottom indent is noticeable

Does the job
March 28, 2014
I bought these boy shorts so I can give my butt a bit of "wow" factor when i go out. It looks nice in a dress, skirt, shorts, or loose fitting trousers. HOWEVER, I don't recommend wearing it under anything like jeans or leggings, unless you want a very noticeable crease by your booty cuff. It does do what it's suppose to though--with the right article of clothing.
Pros:Lifts butt
Cons:Does not go with every outfit

really lifts the butt
March 18, 2014
Really works, but will only work if you have a lil butt to begin with. Can't be flat and expect it to lift. Get a size up from your regular size so that it is not too tight. I wear a L and i got an XL. Can see the lines if worn under a dress so maybe wearing with jeans is better. For a smoother look i put on my hight waist tummy control tights to help lock in. Only flaw is bottom under butt rolls up. Other than that, it works for the money.
Pros:Really lifts the butt.
Cons:Bottom under butt rolls up alot. Suppose to help in tummy control as well but I don't know how. Guess ill find out.

Have a butt and thighs already and before purchasing, I read the reviews ao I already knew I had to order a size up so I ordered extra large and it did NOT work. The back constantly rolls up as stated in other reviews, the material is stiff and it is not true to size. An extra large is more like a small to me. Big dissapointment. Dont order it.
Pros:Prompt shipping
Cons:Garment not true to size, stiff material

Booty Lifter Works Great !
March 3, 2014
Love these butt lifter panties, feels like wearing a thong, while actually lifting the cheeks ! Makes the nice shelf under my butt that helps make it POP ! Went a size up and they fit well, they're tight but no panty lines... I like the boyshort look from the front and the low rise :)

When I bought them my fat was folding over bc I just has twins and needed to lose weight and I got the lg, after I lost weight it helped with tummy control and lifting but it is not discreet through clothes if you were planning to wear it out. The lines and such show through and you can tell your butt doesn't look natural. So don't wear them out! I also wouldn't recommend if your overweight bc you will be unhappy with the fit, as it cut into my thighs and rolled up until I lost weight. They are designed to maintain their shape with as little stretch as possible. if your looking for something to conceal your shape or lift your butt buy shape wear from spanx and such. However I do recommend using them to lift the butt it does work. I wear for an hour after exercise and my butt looks amazing now after 3 1/2 months
Pros:Does have molding lifting benefits
Cons:I think my paragraph states all the cons needed

Looks toooooo fake. I don't even have a large bottom and relatively larger thighs and this item pulled my butt out away from my thighs appearing like it was placed there lol. It was terrible. It definitely lifts! Maybe my bottom is too big (not big at all) Do not waste your money. I'm so disappointed. I wanted this to work! :,-(
Pros:Does lift
Cons:Fake looking, bottom of cheeks are pulled too far from thigh appearing like booty pops (lol), only for flat buttocks individuals seriously not even us med sized butts lol

Not a good deal
January 16, 2014
I was very disappointed with the product. First, the material is stiff and doesn't have that comfortable 'stretchy' feel to it. I already have a shapely butt, but let's be honest, we can never have enough lift! As a result, it looked deformed and just screamed butt pads. I don't recommend buying it, the back bottom part keeps scrolling up and the cheek separator is uncomfortable.

I just recieved my butt lifter today & I've always had butt but... it always just needed that lift. After trying the product on I was instantly blown away, it looks great under jeans.. & skirts. When I tried it on with a dress it did not look Ok, the thong part was visible.. I then decided to put it on with a pair of panties & let me tell you.. that really did the job. This product works wonders! It Def builds confidence. I am normally a size medium but after reading the other reviews I ordered a size up & it's perfect!

If you already have an inkling of a derrier DO NOT BUY THESE, The cuff that is positioned at the bottom for "push up" rolls up constantly and does not stay flat to fit like boy shorts. If you are wearing jeans the bottom will look deformed because the cuff that rolls up creates a space making it look like your butt is not attached to the back of your thighs. IT SCREAMS BUTT PAD. No point in returning because shipping is almost as much as the product! Very disappointed :(

Does the job, but go a size up
September 9, 2013
This thing really does wonders! Lifts the butt up and out to give amazing shape. Only thing about this product is that you should order a size up. If you don't, aside from being particularly tight, the fabric right under the butt will roll up and be noticeable if you're not wearing something relatively loose. Thankfully, I won't have to pay for shipping because my friend wants my small so that I can get a medium. Got a size up for my friend already and hers fits perfectly!
Pros:Makes your butt look great. Breathable Not super tight
Cons:Not true to size - order a size up

EU initiates antisubsidy investigation into solar products from China
November 8, 2012 | Sotirios Frantzanas
The European Commission says it has launched an antisubsidy investigation into imports of solar panels and their key components originating in China. The investigation follows a complaint made in September 2012 by EU ProSun, an industry association that represents European Union–based solar manufacturers. According to the complaint, solar panels and their key components imported from China benefit from unfair Chinese government subsidies.

Griffiths Energy International Inc., Calgary, said it could begin pipeline shipments of oil from wells in southern Chad in the third quarter of 2013.
Oil production from the Badila and Mangara discoveries could begin in the second quarter, the company said (see map, OGJ, June 4, 2012, p. 44).
Griffiths Energy has executed an interconnection agreement that addresses physical access to the 250,000 b/d COTCO/TOTCO oil pipeline from southern Chad to Kribi, Cameroon. The company also secured 111 km of pipeline right-of-way to connect Badila and Mangara fields to the export pipeline.
Connection to the export pipeline is on schedule to be completed and commissioned in the second quarter of 2013.
The company said it expects to have enough information to review the reserves potential of the Cretaceous light oil in Badila field in mid-2013 when it will have data from the Badila-2 and 3 wells, 3D seismic over Badila field, and an estimated 2 months production from the Badila-1, 2, and 3 wells.
The company reentered Badila-1 in May 2012 and declared it a discovery after it accessed 23.5 m of net oil pay in Cretaceous C sands and achieved constrained test flow rates of as much as 4,025 b/d.
Earlier this month the company completed Badila-2, drilled to 2,075 m, which logs indicate cut 101 m of net oil pay in five Lower Cretaceous C sands, 92 m in eight Lower Cretaceous D sands, and 2.5 m in Lower Cretaceous E sands. Griffiths Energy spudded Badila-3, projected to 2,110 m, in late January.
Griffiths Energy expects to commission the Badila production facility, including tie-in of the Badila-1 and 2 wells, in February 2013. The company let a contract for a 300 sq km 3D seismic survey over Badila field and the adjacent Bitanda ridge.
One rig is drilling, and the company expects to mobilize two more in 2013.
Civil work continues toward development drilling at Mangara field, 95 km northwest of Badila. Wellsites for the Mangara-4 and 5 development wells are complete. A prior operator drilled three wells at Mangara between 1978 and 2007, each of which encountered oil in multiple stacked reservoirs. The wells were flow tested at 300-1,875 b/d. Griffiths reentered one well in March 2012 and achieved a natural flow rate of 800 b/d.
The pipeline connection consists of two segments. One is a 16-km line to connect the company's Badila blending and export terminal to the COTCO/TOTCO line. Right-of-way clearing and pipeline stringing is under way, and the line is expected to be completed and commissioned in the first quarter of 2013.
The other segment is 95 km of oil and gas pipelines from Mangara field to the blending and export terminal. Right of way is being cleared, and the oil pipeline is on schedule to be completed and commissioned in the second quarter of 2013.
A modification agreement that addresses modifications required to the export pipeline to transport Badila and Mangara crudes has been executed by TOTCO and Griffiths and approved by COTCO's board and awaits COTCO's signature.
Griffiths Energy's production sharing contracts on 26,103 sq km in two basins.

Clinical Significance
Used in monitoring therapeutic vancomycin level in blood.
Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic that is bactericidal against many gram-positive and some gram-negative cocci. It is useful in therapy of severe staphylococcal (including methicillin-resistant staphylococci) infections in patients who cannot receive or who have failed to respond to the penicillins and cephalosporins. Vancomycin HCl has been used successfully alone in the treatment of staphylococcal (including methicillin-resistant staphylococci) endocarditis. Because of its toxicity, vancomycin should be used with care in patients with renal insufficiency. Concurrent and sequential use of other neurotoxic and/or nephrotoxic antibiotics, particularly streptomycin, neomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin, cephaloridine, paramomyfin, viomycin, polymysin B, colistin, tobramycin and amikacin, requires careful monitoring of vancomycin. Strong correlations have been shown between serum levels and both therapeutic effect and toxicity in specific patient types. Peak serum levels of vancomycin in the range of 30 to 40 mg/mL and trough blood levels of 5 to 10 mg/mL are suggested for optimal therapeutic effectiveness. In the presence of impaired renal function, unnecessarily high blood levels of vancomycin (approximately 90 mg/mL) may damage the eighth cranial nerve and cause deafness.
