I have this problem: Our application is running on a
5.5 and uses hibernate with a mysql 5 database. It works great during office hours, but when we arrive in the morning, the tomcat is still running, but the database connections had been closed by the database. Hibernate doesn't know about this and tries to use them. If we reload the page after the exception we get, it starts working, because it creates new connections.
I've been reading about this (
) and tried to configure c3p0 to handle this, but I get te same error. Also I don't know how to
this properly, so far I've been killing the connection thread with the mysql administrator.
This is the hibernate.cfg.xml
<hibernate-configuration> <session-factory> <!-- Database connection settings --> <property name="connection.driver_class">com.mysql.jdbc.Driver</property> <property name="connection.url">jdbc:mysql://localhost/omwa_real?autoReconnect=true</property> <property name="connection.username">root</property> <property name="connection.password">xxxxx</property> <!-- JDBC connection pool (use the built-in) --> <property name="connection.pool_size">1</property> <!-- SQL dialect --> <property name="dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property> <!-- Enable Hibernate's automatic session context management --> <property name="current_session_context_class">thread</property> <!-- Disable the second-level cache --> <property name="cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.NoCacheProvider</property> <!-- Echo all executed SQL to stdout --> <property name="show_sql">false</property> <!-- Drop and re-create the database schema on startup --> <property name="hbm2ddl.auto">update</property> <property name="hibernate.c3p0.idle_test_period">3</property> <!-- property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_size">100</property--> <property name="hibernate.c3p0.min_size">5</property> <property name="hibernate.c3p0.timeout">300</property> <property name="hibernate.c3p0.max_statements">50</property> <mapping resource="omwa/dao/hibernate/application/Model.hbm.xml"/> <mapping resource="omwa/dao/hibernate/model/Model.hbm.xml"/> </session-factory> </hibernate-configuration>
This is my c3p0.properties, which is located in the src folder of the project (the root of all packages).. does it go there?
c3p0.acquireRetryAttempts=50 c3p0.acquireRetryDelay=25 c3p0.maxConnectionAge=120 c3p0.automaticTestTable=connection_test_table c3p0.testConnectionOnCheckout=true
Is my configuration ok? How can I prevent this error from happening? If it does happen, how can I prevent the application from failing?
Thanks a lot.

We modified the hibernate.cfg.xml to use a datasource, instead of passing the connection parameters there, and it seems to be working that way.
Unfortunatelly this is only a workaround and we still need to fix it the other way because we can't add datasources to the production server without restarting it, so applications should be able to handle the connection pool properly on their own.
Thanks again

I found this link:
He had the same problem, and fixed it using dbcp as the connection pool. So I downloaded it and configured the hibernate.cfg.xml as he did, but nothing happened. He says that hibernate will use dbcp simply adding a dbcp configuration property to the hibernate.cfg.xml. Well, I copied his config and this is what I get from hibernate:
17:08:30,550 INFO DriverManagerConnectionProvider:41 - Using Hibernate built-in connection pool (not for production use!) 17:08:30,560 INFO DriverManagerConnectionProvider:42 - Hibernate connection pool size: 20 17:08:30,560 INFO DriverManagerConnectionProvider:45 - autocommit mode: false 17:08:30,570 INFO DriverManagerConnectionProvider:80 - using driver: com.mysql.jdbc.Driver at URL: jdbc:mysql://localhost/omwa_real?autoReconnectForPools=true 17:08:30,570 INFO DriverManagerConnectionProvider:83 - connection properties: {user=root, password=xxxxxx} 17:08:30,580 DEBUG DriverManagerConnectionProvider:93 - total checked-out connections: 0 17:08:30,580 DEBUG DriverManagerConnectionProvider:109 - opening new JDBC connection 17:08:31,121 DEBUG DriverManagerConnectionProvider:115 - created connection to: jdbc:mysql://localhost/omwa_real?autoReconnectForPools=true, Isolation Level: 4 . . .
As you can see it's still using hibernate's default connection pool. Am I missing something?
Thanks a lot.
I agree. Here's the link:

After much speculation, it's official: Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels are back as Lloyd Christmas and Harry Dunne in the much anticipated sequel to "Dumb and Dumber."
Jim Carrey tweeted a photo, promoting the release of his new children's book, showing he and Daniels on the set of the sequel.
"Dumb and Dumber To" is set to hit theaters next year. This past weekend, Michigan native Jeff Daniels took home the Emmy for "Best Lead Actor" for his lead role in "The Newsroom."

November 29, 2015
LONDON (AP) - An English amateur soccer team mourning the death
of one of its greatest players discovered an important error in the
tributes by the club and local press to the 86-year-old man - he's
still alive.
Tommy Farrer had the rare distinction of reading his own
obituary as a former "legend" with northern amateur side Bishop
Auckland FC.
The mistake came to light when an official of the club, which
held a solemn minute of silence before a match last week, called
Farrer's wife to offer condolences.
A surprised Gladys Farrer said her husband had indeed departed -
but only for a few minutes to buy a newspaper and would be back
soon if the official wanted to talk to him.
Farrer, a former England amateur who played in three Wembley
finals, said in Friday editions of the Northern Echo: "We are not
upset, but we did think it was a bit of a joke at first."
Farrer said he wants to play down the mistake, saying it was
time to "let it die."

This video shows the SEM and STEM characterization of Pt/C catalyst with the help of HF-3300 microscope from Hitachi. When air is injected into the area where the specimen is kept, reaction takes place between Pt nanoparticles and carbon support, which forms holes on carbon surface and the nanoparticles sink on the surface. Combination of high reputation Hitachi cold field emission electron source and 300 kV accelerating voltage realizes both ultrahigh resolution imaging and high sensitivity analysis.

Monday: 13 easy PM on the Maine Half Marathon course with Jeff and Hugo. What a bear that race will be... the modified course is HILLY. Lift at lunch.
Tuesday: 13 easy in the early AM with Tim Rider, who I found out lives only a half mile from me! Excited to have another training partner so close to home. Fun paddle in Ferry Beach in the PM.
Wednesday: Some good dynamic stretching and a rollout and then 4 miles easy around BC, then the last BC 5k in a tempo-effort 16:12, and then a ~3 mile cooldown with Marc. Wanted another loop around BC at tempo effort but needed to hang around after the race to collect my award (four free pairs of shoes from MRC!) It's great that MRC holds this series every year... it's really a great service to the community. 10 miles total.
Thursday: Grabbed new kicks at MRC (Nike Structure Triax 16, didn't want to go low-profile with the Lunars anymore) and it literally felt like I was running on pillows out there. Cruised 17 out-and-back on the Maine Marathon course from MRC in 1:49 and change. Really awesome run, finished a little quick but didn't feel like I was pushing at any point. I hope the new shoes are all I needed in order to beat the soreness that's been plaguing me and work hard the next month in order to get in decent marathon shape. Lift and core at lunch left something to be desired.
Friday: Off.
Saturday: Off.
Sunday: 17, the first 6 with Breagh on the dirt roads between Camden and Rockport and then 11 more out-and-back along Megunticook Lake from downtown Camden. Was on my feet for a full 2:24 so that was good training in that regard.
Total: 70 miles on 5 days. Not great marathon training but at this point, if I get a few solid workouts in and maintain my fitness, I'll be happy heading into the Maine Marathon. Not expecting miracles. Gonna focus a little more on the lifting aspect.

The numbers are dwindling, but a group of World War II and Korean War veterans from the Stillwater area will meet this month for their annual gathering.
Three of the five remaining members of the A & D Last Man's Club are expected to attend the meeting on Jan. 26 at the Stillwater VFW in Oak Park Heights.
Bill Henning, Jean DeCurtins and Don Watson were among the 180 young men who joined the Minnesota National Guard's 135th Infantry and left Stillwater on Feb. 25, 1941 -- 9 months before Pearl Harbor. Many didn't come back; those who returned formed the A & D club in February 1946.
The group -- due to its dwindling numbers -- a few years ago joined with the H & H Last Man's Club, men who served in Korea.
"We didn't think we'd have this many this year even," said Wilson, 91, of Bayport. "We were lucky this year; we didn't lose any."
Mike Polehna, a Stillwater City Council member, will be the featured speaker; social hour is at 5:30 p.m., dinner is at 6 p.m. Reservations are required by Jan. 18. The cost is $10 a plate.
For more information, call Gus MacDonald at 651-439-3281.

Brothers Anthony and Jon Wettig and their partner Mike Wilson deserve some serious preservationist props for uncovering and restoring the white tile and the big, blunt, black Z that form the façade of their new pub/restaurant, Zanzabar, in the St. Joseph's neighborhood, on the fringe of Germantown.
By all accounts, the project which involved stripping away siding, awnings and other architectural detritus was more like an archeological dig than a standard renovation project.
Once home to Nord's Brown Bag Deli (and before that to the old Zanzibar, aka the Z-Bar), the building's interior has undergone an extreme makeover as well, one that blends hipster-chic with Louisville nostalgia.
High-contrast black-and-gray patterns predominate. Vintage video games huddle in the corners. Here and there hang artifacts of old marketing campaigns touting Louisville as a City of the Seventies. For local color, there's a dramatic photo offering what looks to be a starter's eye view of horses charging from the gate at Churchill Downs.
And in addition to the booths (furnished with bright metal tables that offer, at best, cold comfort to diners), tables, a long bar and a patio (for smokers and fair-weather dining), there's a low-slung stage that regularly features a mix of local and touring acts.
The kitchen is in the hands of Jamie Jones, formerly of Bistro 301, and the menu focuses on sandwiches, pub foods and scratch-made comfort food with Louisville and Germantown riffs.
Sandwiches, for instance, include a club sandwich featuring braunschweiger and provolone ($6.50); a Reuben sandwich ($6.50) starts with customary elements richly flavored house-made corned beef and Swiss cheese but replaces sauerkraut with a spicy coleslaw that livens things up to good, if untraditional effect.
Hummus and pita (from Middle Eastern Parkway, jokes the menu) are served with olive tapenade and feta ($5). And the menu includes burgers of beef ($6.95) and turkey ($7.50), as well as a handful of entrees and daily specials.
On a few recent visits, service was commendable. Even when bands are on stage or performing sound checks, the enthusiastic staff seems quite focused on tending to customers (and though most of the dining area is in proximity to the stage, a cozy cluster of tables near the front door is available for diners who aren't there for the music).
From a comfort food standpoint, though, meals have been a mixed bag. Daily lunch specials served cafeteria-style (meat and two sides for $6.50) are serviceable, hearty and inexpensive, but uninspired: meat loaf slathered with an insipid pink sauce, or a chicken breast doctored up with bell peppers; competent sides like macaroni and cheese, lima beans, redskin mashed potatoes.
One night, herb-roasted chicken ($11.95 for a half chicken with sides) tasted as if it had been prepared for someone on a salt-and-pepper-free diet; nor did the few flecks of scattered herbs contribute to the flavor. Even a scoop of bacon-mushroom risotto managed the difficult task of tasting rather like plain rice.
A nicely fried fillet of fried grouper or cod on toasted marble rye was moist and juicy, and though here again the batter added nothing, a garnish of fresh vegetables and a dab of spicy tartar sauce helped things along, as did a stack of house-made potato chips ($7.95).
With winter coming on, though, I note that recent soups have, indeed, been the very essence of comfort: chunks of ham swimming in a rich, oniony broth with tender white beans, or a very fine mix of torn chicken, andouille sausage, rice and beans in a spicy stock ($1.95/$2.95).
Likewise, few things are more comforting than warm, dense brownies studded with walnuts and dished up with a scoop of whipped cream.

The NFLs new rule prohibiting ball carriers in the open field from striking an opponent with the crown of their helmet would have been called only three times last year, referee Bill Vinovich said Friday.
Vinovich presented and then answered reporters questions about the video that the NFL produced to explain and illustrate this years rules changes to teams and media. The video showed three examples of the new rule prohibiting backs from striking with their helmets, and Vinovich said those were the only three instances from all of last season.
One was of Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson hitting a tackler like a battering ram.
Adrian Peterson was probably the best example, Vinovich said. The old Barry Sanders and Walter Payton (runs), when they were out in the open field and said, Im just going to take you on. Thats what they want to eliminate.
The new rule prevents ball carriers from striking with the crown of their helmet only under specific circumstances: First, the ball carrier has to line up his opponent and take him straight on; second, the contact has to be outside the tackle box, which means outside the tackles or at least three yards down field; and third, the ball carrier must lower his head and lead with the crown of his helmet.
The penalty is 15 yards.
So the rule doesnt apply to a running back who lowers his head while plunging into the middle of the line. Also, if the ball carrier and tackler are approaching each other at an angle, the ball carrier may lower his head and not be penalized.
The rule was changed for the safety of the ball carrier as much as for the defender.
Here are the other rules changes and points of emphasis for 2013:
The tuck rule has been changed so that the throwing motion ends when the passer begins to pull the ball into his body. Previously, the throwing motion didnt end until the ball had been tucked.
On place kicks, the long-snapper now is classified a defenseless player and cant be hit in the head or neck area while in the snapping process. Defenses already were prohibited from lining up a player over the center. Defenses may make contact with the long-snapper while trying to split the gap between him and the guard, but they may not hit the long-snapper directly.
On place kicks, the defense cant line up more than six players on one side of the long-snapper. It also cant in effect create the force of two players hitting one blocker by having a player push a down lineman into the offensive line.
On kicks and punts, the defense no longer can hit players below the waist anywhere on the field, including along the line. The kicking team still may block rushers below the waist.
Peel-back blocks below the waist are now illegal inside the tackle box. They used to be illegal only outside the box. A peel-back block is when the blocker approaches a player from the side or behind.
The penalty for an illegal replay challenge has changed. Last year, if coach challenged a play that was to be reviewed automatically (i.e., a scoring or turnover play, or a play inside two minutes of each half and overtime), the penalty included forfeiture of the review. Now, the team will lose a timeout (or be penalized 15 yards if it has no timeout), but the automatic review will take place.
All players except punters and kickers have to wear thigh and knee pads.
The officials each season have points of emphasis for existing rules. This years are:
Calling facemask penalties on running backs who control or twist an opponents facemask with a stiff arm.
Penalizing players who taunt verbally or by throwing, spiking or spinning the ball at an opponent. Officials will be looking to penalize instigators.
Penalizing late hits around the pile when players are down or when their forward progress is stopped and the play is blown dead.

From Wikipedia:
Near field communication (NFC) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish radio communication with each other by touching them together or bringing them into close proximity, usually no more than a few centimeters.
NFC, a new technology based on RFID, except that it allows two-way communication between two NFC devices or tags.
It's been something I've wanted to play with ever since I got my Galaxy S3 (which supports NFC). So when I got my hands on some tags I figured I would try and embed them into my 3D prints. This is not a brand new idea, a company called Flomio offers a service when you can order 3D printed items with NFC tags embedded into them. I decided to figure out how easy it would be. Turns out, very easy if you already have a 3D printer. My NFC Tags came from RapidNFC. Check out their developer and starter packs which come with a variety of tags.
I found this Mario Key Chain on Thingiverse and figured it be a good start for my experiments.
After generating the gcode for the print I had a look at which layer would be best to add the tag into the 3D print. I decided to add in the tag after the first two solid layers and the first infill layer (30%). I wanted to tag to be invisible but still usable.
So after the first three layers I paused the print (You don't want it to be paused too long) and stuck the nfc sticker onto the 3d Print.
After that you can just resume the print again and what your nfc tag being covered by plastic. The tag is pretty thin so the next layer went down ok, although you can see it was a bit sporadic on the tag itself.
After a few more layers the tag started to disappear.
And eventually the print was done. Now I have a nice 3D printed keyring with an NFC tag embedded into it.
I tested the reading and writing of the tag on my phone and it works perfectly! Success. The fact that 3d prints are done by putting down layers of plastic makes it relatively easy to embed these tags.
The only question is, what are going to do with your NFC enabled 3D Print?

LEISURE TIME: Fort Concho heats up with summer activity
SAN ANGELO, Texas - While the summerlike heat has been with us for more than a month, summertime didn't officially begin until Friday. So it's time to outline some seasonal activities at Fort Concho.
Starting today you have just a few more days to see the special display on famed Comanche chief Quanah Parker in our Barracks 1 Visitor Center at 630 S. Oakes St. The display ends Thursday.
Our summer Fun at the Fort workshops for children ages 6 through 12 are ongoing in June and July. Upcoming sessions include Miss Birdie's Birthday Bash on Tuesday; Fiddle Fire Friday on June 28, featuring cowboy cooking; and A Stitch in Time, also on Friday, teaching embroidery.
July workshops feature Little Miss Tea Time on July 9; a Girl's Own Tour on July 11; Southwest Indians on July 17; and Tracing Your Roots on July 18.
All sessions start at 9:30 a.m. and end at noon, except for Fiddle Fire Friday, which runs from 9 a.m. to noon. Several sessions cater to slightly older ages of 8 to 14. Fees range from $10 to $15, and most sessions include snacks.
Check our website at fortconcho.com for a registration sheet. Registration is ongoing and space is limited, so we hope you can get your child into as many sessions as possible.
We will celebrate the nation's 237th birthday on July 4 with our traditional artillery salutes on the fort's Parade Ground from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. This event follows an old military custom, and we are honored to continue this celebration today.
We also salute our Fort Concho artillery crew who will be returning from their experience at the Gettysburg 150th Anniversary Battle Reenactment. Eleven volunteers under fort staff member Chris Morgan made the trip with our cannon, taking part in probably the largest battle re-enactment in history. Drop by on July 4 and visit with them; I'm sure they will have some stories and photos to share!
At the end of the month on July 27 we celebrate National Cowboy Day from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. with a cowboy breakfast and entertainment by the Concho Cowboy Company in the Barracks 5-6 Courtyard. Additional details will be released in early July.
This national celebration that marks the heritage of that legendary Western figure, the cowboy, was created by some folks in Montana. Perhaps that is why they felt July was a comfortable time for an outdoor event!
We also host two additional summer programs.
The "Kids Eat Free" program, coordinated by Rust Street Ministries and many local agencies, is in Officers' Quarters 8 on weekdays from July 8 through Aug. 16. The program ensures all area children have a good summer meal throughout the vacation season, and it is part of a citywide effort that includes other locations.
We also host a special tour and activity session for area day care and preschool classes called Camp Concho, with dates available throughout June and July. Call Cory Robinson at 325-657-4444 for details; The program is geared toward formal schools and day care centers.
In the general news department, we welcome a new Fort Concho board member, Martha King, an active fort volunteer with Christmas at Old Fort Concho. Board meetings are at 3:30 p.m. on the third Tuesday of most months in Officers' Quarters 8 on East Avenue D. The meetings are open to all.
We will not have a July meeting, but the remaining meetings this year are set for Aug. 20, Sept. 17, Oct. 15, Nov. 19 and Dec. 17.
In the good news department, we have been awarded two grants that will help the site.
The Clements Foundation of Dallas has awarded Fort Concho $75,000 for the complete overhaul of the heating and cooling systems of the site's two oldest (and busiest!) buildings, Quartermaster and Commissary. The fort's own foundation will pledge an additional $25,000 to fully fund this project.
We also have a grant from the Art and Eva Camunez Tucker Foundation for $7,000 that will provide a new passenger cart for our guests.
And we welcome a new mule to the site! Perhaps you saw our team at work during Frontier Day and Armed Forces Day. Tom, our new addition, has been paired with Mac, and under the skilled direction of Paul Cook of our staff, they have been offering rides and demonstrating the military transportation system of the late 1800s. We hope to see more of the team at future fort events.
And we hope to see you at our future events. Call us at 325-481-2646 and check out the website and our Facebook page, facebook.com/fortconcho, for upcoming events and general news.
Bob Bluthardt is the Fort Concho manager for the city of San Angelo. Contact him at 325-481-2730 or firstname.lastname@example.com. The fort's website is www.fortconcho.com.

Summary of Dental Benefits
Dental Benefits
The State offers dental benefits through Blue Cross of Idaho to eligible employees and their family members. Participation in the plan is automatic for anyone enrolled in one of the State's medical plans. Note: Dental is available only if you participate in a State employee medical plan -- you can't elect dental coverage without electing medical insurance.
For details about the plan, including limitations, exclusions and waiting periods, see the plan contract.
Selecting a Dentist
With this plan, you can use any licensed dentist for covered expenses but it is to your advantage to use a participating Blue Cross of Idaho dentist whenever you can.
BC of Idaho Participating dentists have agreed to provide services to plan participants at a set schedule of negotiated fees. This means network participating dentists will accept plan benefits plus your share of costs (deductible and coinsurance) as payment in full.
Non-Participating dentists are not limited in how much they may charge. For these dentists, the plan pays covered costs based on BC of Idaho's average fee. If a non-participating dentist happens to charge more than the average fee, you have to pay the extra in addition to any amounts you may owe for the deductible and coinsurance.
To find Participating BC of Idaho Providers, please contact Blue Cross of Idaho, 1-866-804-2253 or go on-line at www.bcidaho.com Go to "Find a Provider" then "Dental", then "PPO"

Declining Dependent Dental
As an employee, if you elect medical coverage you're required to take dental. But you can decline dental coverage for your dependents anytime you want.
Once you have declined dental coverage for your dependents, you may only add it during an open enrollment period.
Filing Claims
Soon after you complete initial enrollment, BC of Idaho will send you a member identification card. When you use a participating dentist, your provider will use the information on your identification card to bill the plan directly and you won't have to make a claim.
If you use a non-participating dentist, you may have to make a claim for reimbursement. If so, submit a detailed invoice from your provider along with your name, employer's name, and subscriber identification number to:

|Body composition monitor measurement technique for the detection of volume status in peritoneal dialysis patients: the effect of abdominal fullness.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21541804 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|BACKGROUND: Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) is used to assess volume status in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients. However, it is proposed that it may be troubling in patients with abnormal fluid distribution and body geometry. It is not clear whether having an empty abdomen or not interferes with the BIS results and its relation with echocardiographic findings in PD patients. METHODS: Twenty-five prevalent PD patients were enrolled. Echocardiography and body composition analysis using BIS technique (50 frequencies, the Body Composition Monitor, BCM) were performed. Overhydration (OH), extracellular water (ECW) in liters and OH/ECW ratio were used as volume status indices. Differences in volume and echocardiographic findings, in patients with empty and with full abdomen, and their correlations with echocardiographic parameters were investigated. RESULTS: Mean age and PD duration were 61 ± 2.5 years and 42 ± 33 months, respectively. Sixty-four percent were male and 24% were diabetic. Mean left ventricular mass index (LVMi) was 131 ± 43 g/m (,) (2) mean left atrium diameter (LA) was 4.1 ± 0.1 cm, mean left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) was 64 ± 10%. Mean OH in patients with full abdomen were 1.67 ± 1.51 L and 1.68 ± 1.48 L, depending on the inclusion or exclusion of the dialysate volume, respectively. In patients with an empty abdomen, mean OHs were 2.12 ± 1.76 L and 1.91 ± 1.56 L, depending on the inclusion or exclusion of the dialysate volume. BIS measurements with an empty, but not with a full abdomen, was related to the echocardiographic parameters. CONCLUSION: BIS is a reliable method to evaluate volume status in PD patients. BIS performed after peritoneal equilibration test with an empty abdomen, better reflects overhydration and is related to echocardiographic parameters.

I thought it was an '03 Midnight Black. But I did see that show where he rolled up in a Busa. He actually wore full leathers and full faced helmet and everything. He does like sportbikes. In Motorcycle Mania 2 or 3 he was pulling wheelies with a Gixxer.

He knows what the best is and rides it; he just makes the other bikes for a living.
That Busa is nice. Saw it a few weeks ago but don't remember what the topic was. All I remember was a nice little tire spin and quick launch.
Yeah, he's been on a few Busas, but I do remember the midnight black one. On one episode they took a turbocharged Busa engine and used it in a miniature car, but the guys didn't finish on time, so he destroyed it. I think it was with a flame thrower.
HE got Sandra? Boo hoo.

Israeli Military Prepares for Massive Gaza Invasion 'Within Months'
Military Eyes 'Similar Model' to 2008 Invasion
The Jerusalem Post reports today that Israel's military has ordered its Southern Command to prepare for a "large scale" invasion of the Gaza Strip, likely to begin within the next few months.
The revelation is hardly a surprise, as Israeli Military Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz has repeatedly pressed for an invasion of the Gaza Strip over the past few months, while trumpeting the late 2008 invasion as a "great success."
Officials today indicated that the next invasion would be very much on the same model as 2008, which saw massive Palestinian civilian casualties and destruction of considerable civilian infrastructure, much of which remains unrepaired as an Israeli blockade has prevented construction materials from being imported.
Israeli officials cited "increased weaponry" in the Gaza Strip as the reason for the upcoming invasion, particularly anti-tank weapons. Other than getting some of their tanks blown up, it isn't clear why they consider this a good reason to invade, as weapons have been flooding much of the region since the Libyan regime fell and their weapons warehouses were looted.
The exact timing of the invasion will also be tricky, as Israel will of course rely on the US to run interference in the UN when the ugliest aspects of the war begin to trickle out. The last invasion came after the 2008 US Presidential election but was virtually wrapped up before President Obama took office. It may be that Israel will try a similar strategy of starting the war after the vote in an effort to keep it from being a political issue in the US.

Israel "prepares" for the invasion of Gaza? Why is so much preparation required? The Arabs in Gaza are fighting with handguns, don´t they remember?
For some reason I get the idea that these bullying threats are for the rest of the world, and have nothing whatsoever to do with planning anything.
And the 9,000 US troops on the ground in Israel? They've just been effectively made to be 'human shields' to prevent Gaza from firing on Israel for fear of hitting US forces.
The question is: why the invasion, and why now? Are they trying to goad Hamas into defending Gaza, thereby breaking their transition to a peaceful organization? (Jewish offical: SEE!! WE TOLD YOU SO!! EVILLLLLL!!!)
Israel should think again about attacking Gaza. I can't see the world standing by this time, even with the US influence at the UN. Egypt is no longer run by a US puppet, it might decide to join in. Turkey isn't exactly in love with Isreal either, then, there's Hezbollah.
Are those US troops still heading to Israel? I thought that was canceled?
Unfortunately, the only political issue would be which candidate was more supportive of the invasion. I bet they do it before the election for that reason.
Why would there be a need to invade? Did not the US congress just provide $285,000,000 for a rocket intercept system A system refused by Israel when Israel had to pay for the system but acceptable as long as the work was done in Israel and paid by the US Taxpayers.
It is time to tell Israel to stop attacking the defenseless old woman and children of Gaza and Lebanon.
What is really amazing is according to US and Israel official reports over 1/2 the jewish population of Israel has not even been in Israel for over a year. It would appear that it might be a homeland for the jews but a desirable place to live to many. That might be because so many have no connection to the middle east.
One must hope that Egypt will intervene, and stop the Israeli terror machine. This country needs to be taught a a very brutal, and unforgettable lesson. Let's hope this happens sooner than later.
Its been four years since the last one. I guess Israel figures its time to cull the Palestinians there again.
Stop spending money on Israeli or American goods & services. The money in your pocket is the only wepon you can use.
as far im aware they have been there for some time now some with the xband radar, and very much like the real thing these military exercised are slow and expensive so they would take months of work setting up, so if it was going to be anytime soon then there were probably a sizable amounts of us military personnel there for months.
"The Iron Dome counter-rocket defense system has succeeded in intercepting rockets from Gaza 75 percent of the time it fired interceptors at incoming enemy projectiles"
"The system usually fires two interceptors at each incoming missile."
"for example, the Iron Dome succeeded in intercepting eight of 10 rockets; in August 22 of 28,"
so that mean instead of 28 rockets/missiles exploding somewhere, there are 84 missiles exploding somewhere
"Meanwhile Thursday, a disaster was averted when 20 Iron Dome interceptors fell several meters off of the back of a truck. The accident occurred after the missiles were improperly secured while being loaded onto a truck for maintenance, the IDF said.
A number of soldiers and officers were nearby, but no one was injured. The rockets are built with a safety mechanism to ensure they only explode when fired from a launcher.
The missiles were damaged and will be removed from operational service.
Each interceptor costs around $50,000 and usually two are fired at rockets slated for interception, putting the loss at roughly $1 million.
The Israelis have gone more than 2 years since their last bloodbath. They must be feeling unclean.
perhaps it is a bit of USO entertainment for the brave and free
People may not realize that prior to the Gaza invasion in 2008 there was a ceasefire between the Gaza factions and Israel. The cease fire held up pretty well until Israel entered Gaza on November 4, 2008. In other words Israel used the US Presidential election as a cover to sneak into Gaza.
That event caused Hames to respond which led to Israel putting a really harsh blockade on Gaza that even denied humantarian aid.That blockade led to Hamas escalating the fight and Israel responding with an invasion. Israel refused to return to ceasefire after Hamas made an offer to return.
I fear Israel is going to pull off a similar stunt. I hope the Gazan factions don't fall into the same trap
genocide, israeli syle
making friends everywhere. good people. uh huh.
hear hear! Cannot remember when someplace needed to be slapped down and taught a lesson in the worst possible way…maybe the US before, during and after Iraq slaughter??
someone please drop a bomb on Israel!
There is't one large enough to do the job right. Sad but true
The world need to stop this evil.

ENB - Region 3 Notices 11/21/2012
Negative Declaration
Orange County - The Newburgh Town Board, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed Town of Newburgh Zoning Code Amendment will not have a significant adverse environmental impact. The action involves the adoption of a local law by the Town Board of the Town of Newburgh entitled "A Local Law Amending Chapter 185 Entitled 'Zoning' of the Code of the Town of Newburgh to Provide for the Regulation of Adult Oriented Businesses." The purpose and effect of the local law are to limit the harmful secondary effects of adult-oriented businesses by amending the Town of Newburgh Zoning Code to provide for the regulation of adult-oriented businesses. The Town's intent in regulating adult-oriented businesses is not to restrict constitutionally-protected speech activities but rather to provide constitutionally sufficient alternate avenues for persons to engage in such activities in a manner consistent with the constitutions of the United States and New York State while addressing the unlawful, unhealthy and detrimental activities ancillary to such speech and ameliorating these secondary effects on the peace, good order, commercial viability and safety of Town residents and non-adult-oriented businesses. An adult-oriented business is defined by the local law to include the use of a building, structure, or property for a business which includes the regular offering, for economic gain or other consideration, of adult materials or adult entertainment as a substantial or significant portion of its stock-in-trade for the purposes of sale, rental, lease, trade, gift or display of such adult materials or adult entertainment, including any restaurant, nightclub, bar, tavern, eating and drinking place or establishment, arcade, theater, video store, motel, hotel, or any other establishment that regularly offers, for economic gain or other consideration, adult entertainment, a retail store that offers adult materials as defined in the local law and any massage establishment. The project is located throughout the Town of Newburgh, New York.

Positive Declaration
Orange County - The Walden Board of Trustees, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed 2012 Walden Comprehensive Plan may have a significant adverse impact on the environment and a Draft Environmental Impact Statement must be prepared. The action involves the adoption of a new Comprehensive Plan for the Village of Walden. The Village's last Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2005. The 2005 Plan recommended periodic updating of the Comprehensive Plan to incorporate results of subsequent plans and studies and to reflect any unanticipated events or new issues. This 2012 update of the Village of Walden Comprehensive Plan is not a new departure. Rather it incorporates and builds upon goals, recommendations and policies set forth in the 2005 Plan. Therefore, it should not be viewed as a change of direction but, rather, as a refinement of a course already established. The project is located throughout the Village of Walden, New York.

Positive Declaration and Public Scoping
Westchester County - The Town of North Castle Town Board, as lead agency, has determined that the proposed Brynwood Golf and Country Club may have a significant adverse impact on the environment and a Draft Environmental Impact Statement must be prepared. Written comments on the draft scope will be accepted until November 26, 2012. A public scoping session will be held on November 26, 2012 at 7:00 p.m. at the Hergenhan Recreation Center, 40 Maple Avenue, Armonk, NY 10504. The action involves an application for the development of an adult oriented residential community at the existing Brynwood golf/country club, and improvements to club facilities and amenities and the golf course. The residential neighborhood would include a mix of golf condominium units: 64 Golf Residences (58 two bedroom units and 6 three bedroom units), 14 Club Villas (three bedroom units), 5 detached Golf Cottages (4 bedroom units); as well as 5 Fairway Residences (3 bedroom units) in one building south of the clubhouse. Total unit count would be 88 residential units.
Proposed club improvements include relocation of tennis courts closer to the clubhouse (and reduction in number from (14 to 6 courts), construction of a new tennis viewing pavilion, as well as a new outdoor pool and patio area, and parking for the club in the existing parking lot (to be improved with added landscaping).
Proposed renovations to the club include a reduction in banquet hall size and a new pool and patio.
Renovations and improvements to the existing 18 hole golf course are proposed, as well as upgrades to the existing on-site sewage treatment plant. Water supply is proposed to be from on-site wells.
The Proposed Action includes amendments to the North Castle Zoning Ordinance, a special permit for the "golf course community," site plan approval and wetlands permit. Approval may also be required to subdivide the "golf course community" from the golf/country club and amendments to the Town Comprehensive Plan Update 1996.
The project is located at 568 Bedford Road in the Town of North Castle, New York.

'Salem shall not be pleased about this, Sachaih.' Arithe Vinhalen said to his brother with a troubled note in his tone. Sachaih nodded and rubbed his red-raw eyes with the back of his rough hand. He was beginning to feel dizzy and disorientated.
'Yes, I know brother, I know.'
Blistered masses were beginning to form above his eyelids as the burning icodeane started to soak into his skin. The toxic liquid kept spreading across his face until his nose and cheeks grew dry and irritated and the pupils of his eyes felt as if they were ablaze with fire hotter than the depths of hell.
Unaware of his brother's severe discomfort, Arithe continued pacing up and down the dark, musty cellar of which they stood; His heavy, black combat boots crunching on the uneven surface.
'We'll be sent to the crossroads, Sachaih!' He exclaimed with grief.
'That will not be, brother, I shall make certain of that' Sachaih said painfully. Arithe stopped pacing and threw his arms in the air.
'But how can one be sure? We have broken almost every law in the book of Divide! When Salem is informed, we shall be banished! Or worse.'
'Brother, we are the only remaining of the Vinhalen clan; we are Das Naite of the Divide. We are Hellboys! Nothing too terrible will become of us, I am sure.' with some effort, Sachaih lifted his head to stare directly into the piercing black of Arith è's eyes.
'I Hope you are correct, Sachaih,' Arithe said, shaking his head. 'Or we are done.'
Chapter One - The Devil's prodigy
Lord Salem watched on with a sadistic smirk as his Dark Knights threw another screaming soul into the burning pit of fire. He listened to the crackling and splitting of flesh as the flames engulfed its victim and swallowed them whole, the screech of excruciating agony only making him smile more. Salem waited for the Hellboys to rejoin him and praised them when they came.
'Well done, Das Naite!' he said, clasping his hands together gleefully. The highly adept Knights, Zaire Vasili and Dexter Chary nodded stiffly.
'Our duty, Sir.'
'Indeed…' Salem mused. 'I hope you both will be available, as another is due to be executed in the next day or so - the filthy, ungrateful sinners.'
'We will do as you wish, Sir.' They both said in emotionless unison.
Salem nodded. 'Well, you both may leave now. Find Xara. She has some errands for you both to run in the Otherworld... Such a nice day for it, too' He looked around his domain with closely observant eyes, admiring the rocky walls and the large, endlessly deep cracks in the earth of which spilled out billows of heat and rained ashes of the dead. Narrow walkways that formed from the walls lined the space above them where the sweating, lower ranking Hellboys worked - Shoveling rocks and shifting dirt to be used as building material for separation walls and hand-made storage caves in the future. Along the edges of the bottom floor were tall, pointed stalagmites and iron barred cells holding terrified prisoners - most of them being deceased Humans of whom had misused their lives in the Otherworld. This was, for lack of a better word, Hell, and they were all more than likely on death-row, awaiting their permanent demise.
The Knights bowed to their unrighteous master and sullenly turned to leave. Salem eyed the two with a satisfactory expression as they disappeared from his line of vision. Despite their rigid, disciplined facade, He knew exactly what they were thinking. He knew what all of his Das Naite were thinking. It was ever so obvious that they felt bound and restricted by the order that he had on Hell, because that was his aim - his vision, Complete and Utmost control. And, he certainly hadn't failed in that respect. Pandemonium was a place of Demons, or, to be more accurate, Hellboys. They lived and worked serving as slaves, enduring various forms of hard and often painful labor under the command and watchful eye of Lord Salem himself. Depending on the bloodline, some Hellboys were chosen to be put through intensive training, even against their will, with the possibility of becoming part of a select group, otherwise known as the sons of Das Naite or, Knights of darkness when translated into more current terms. For those who succeeded, a lengthened lifetime of difficult tasks and challenges with honorable rewards awaited them in the future. They would perform executions, and give secondhand orders to keep things running smoothly. Occasionally, Knights would be sent to the otherworld, where they would subtly help along the wicked to their death. But most importantly, they would fight. Fight to keep hell protected, and to keep Salem safe. After all, if Salem were to fall, quite literally, all hell would break loose.
Zaire Vasili clenched his fists as he walked. He felt the anger and turmoil boiling inside of him, twisting in his gut and clawing at his conscience, just waiting to explode in a rush of violence. He let out heavy, grunting breaths as if trying to console himself into calming down. A step behind him, Dexter Chary eyed him warily.
"Control your self, Vasili" Dexter warned, although Zaire was already trying his hardest.

The official Probable Cause report on a deadly plane crash 2 years and one week ago at Greenhead in southern Washington County was issued Monday by the National Transportation Safety Board.
Five Destin residents were killed in the crash of their twin engine Cessna December 22nd 2006.
The NTSB, in the final report issued Monday morning, says it have ruled out mechanical problems with the plane. The crash was linked to improper planning on the pilot's part and continued flight into a level five severe thunderstorm.
The veteran pilot, with thousands of hours flight experience, was also a test pilot. He was flying his four passengers from Destin to the Bahamas at the time.
The plane flew into a 15 mile long severe thunderstorm, went out of control and slammed to the ground.
No one survived.

EU to decide on filing Google antitrust case by late March
updated 10:40 am EST, Wed January 18, 2012
EU may start formal Google dispute in two months
EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia in a discussion late Tuesday raised the possibility that a formal antitrust dispute with Google could start in late March. He informed Reuters that comments from investigators would come in near the end of the quarter, which ends that month, and that he didn't "expect anything sooner" for a full complaint. Leaks had tipped an early 2012 filing, if it went ahead at all, but hadn't been corroborated directly until now.
A look into Google's practices started in earnest early last year, when Microsoft publicly complained, accusing Google of skewing search results and giving Windows Phone's YouTube app no real assistance.
Any complaint would center on Google allegedly abusing its dominance of web search to promote its own products. Among existing concerns are that it might be burying competing results, favoring its own deal services, and possibly dictating unfair terms on using Google search in Android. Google has always maintained that, through the nature of the web, visitors aren't locked into using its sites and can go elsewhere.
EU investigations can take years to process, but can have far-reaching implications. Microsoft through European Commission rulings has had to produce source code for its key platforms, unbundle Windows Media Player, and offer a choice of browser on first startup. Google could be made to offer truly neutral results or offer more guarantees that an Android partner can use Bing or an alternative engine without having to lose features.
Google could also be fined 10 percent of its annual revenue, which could lead to billions of dollars in fines.

Waiting for Dirk Nowitzki's signature no sweat for Mavericks
Dirk Nowitzki agreed to a four-year, $80 million contract on July 4, but more than two weeks elapsed before he signed and faxed in the document today.
Had the nine-time All-Star waffled? Asked for more money?
"No," Mavericks president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said with a chuckle. "Just a matter of pinning him down. He's been all over Europe on different jaunts."
Nelson said Nowitzki faxed in his signature from Europe, and that the terms of the contract had not changed from July 4.
"Not one letter, not one anything," Nelson said.
Weeks after the Mavericks were bounced from the first round of the playoffs by San Antonio, Nowitzki, 32, opted out of his old contract's final year, which would have paid him $21 million.
But his free agency didn't last long. The Mavericks gave him a rare no-trade clause, but by signing for a lower 2010-2011 salary of $17 million, with annual pay increases, Nowitzki gave a $16 million "hometown discount" over the four years.
So what if waited to make it official, long after the LeBron James-dominated free agency hype had quieted?
"There was zero concern in our camp," Nelson said. "We've developed a trust relationship over time. When Dirk puts his hand on something, it's done."

« Back to Kids Page
Introducing NFCA's Awareness MVPs! The young stars listed below were the top money-raising kids in NFCA's Awareness All-Stars Fundraiser, which ran October-December 2011. These MVPs set out to make a difference for other kids and adults with celiac disease, and they blew us away with their success!
To participate in the Awareness All-Stars Fundraiser, each kid created his or her own fundraising page at www.firstgiving.com/celiacawareness/allstars. The page featured his or her personal story, photo, and a video from NFCA. After creating their page, the All-Stars contacted family members and friends to tell them about celiac disease and why they are raising money for NFCA.
The top three kids who raised the most money were named NFCA's Awareness MVPs. You can meet them in the videos below.
NFCA wants to give a big thank you to all of the All-Stars who participated, and a special thank you to Ian's Natural Foods and Froose Brands for donating the grand prize packages for this fundraiser. See all the prize details.
Jump to: Jack Simpson | Noa Spanier | Madison Pilavin
Jack, age 13, proved that a little initiative can go a long way. He began by collecting donations through an online fundraising page. "Mom said it will be just like fishing. I will keep trying and be patient and I will be able to reach my goal," he wrote on his page.
When that wasn't enough, Jack called on a friend's dad who worked at ideas4funds.com, which makes t-shirts, cups and other items for fundraising. Jack created something special for his community, and it turned out to be one of the hottest selling items of the holiday season.
Noa, age 8, is in good company. She has two friends who, like her, have celiac disease and eat gluten-free food. While they are healthy, Noa knows that other kids aren't as lucky.
"I want to help kids and families that need this fundraiser, because if those kids don't get diagnosed, they'll just get sicker. I want all the kids in the world to live a long and happy life," her fundraising page said.
With support from family and friends, Noa met her fundraising goal. The funds she raised will help NFCA continue to offer free resources, including daily mailings to newly diagnosed celiacs and brochures that help other people get diagnosed.
Madison, age 12, has been diagnosed for several years. She's seen the good and bad of gluten-free food. "The first time my mom came home with a gluten free [pizza] pie i was so excited to open the pizza box and take out a slice. Most people take that for granted," she wrote on her fundraising page.
Madison dreams of a day when gluten-free food is available everywhere and celiac or gluten sensitive kids feel just like everyone else. With the funds she raised, we're one step closer to making that dream come true!

Our intentions here (or mine at least) are not to be unkind or malicious. The real goal here, in case you've missed it, and in case you didn't read the entire article I linked, is to try to make YOU a better programmer. we do this by teaching you to be self-sufficient and to ask questions that merit a response. that means searching for answers on your own and trying to make it work before begging for help. you gave no background on your problem, but rather posted the requirements straight out of your school assignment. On this board, we also have a policy against doing others' homework for them.since you already really good at programming cant you be a little nicer...why cant you understand...i am still new...and im still a freshmen so it is still quite difficult to me...especially our teacher making us do stuff that he just introduced to us..making us do we havent done yet from what he discussed...
I don't know about the others, but I'm still willing to help if you post your code and point out the areas where you're having problems.
let me be completely clear about this:
in fact, I don't think anyone here wants you to fail, but your success is completely dependent on your ability to adapt and accept help that is offered, especially when it is focused on the attitude you have when asking for help.
I strongly suggest that you fully read, and then reread the article I linked in a previous post. you will find a lot of useful information in there on how to approach problems like this.
You are obviously just trolling at these forums. Don't.

Oklahoma receiver Jalen Saunders gets transfer from Fresno approved, eligible to play Saturday against Texas
Junior receiver Jalen Saunders has been cleared by the NCAA to play for the Oklahoma Sooners, coach Bob Stoops said Wednesday, and could be in the lineup Saturday against Texas.
Saunders left Fresno State after his sophomore season and appealed to the NCAA to skip his year off for transfer because of a coaching change at Fresno. The NCAA heard the appeal and ruled in favor, Stoops said.
"We found out mid-practice and switched him over from scout team to the 1s and 2s," Stoops said Wednesday. "He's catching up right now. I'm hopeful that he will be able to help and play."
Saunders walks into a crowded situation. The Sooners this season have had at least 10 receivers catch a ball in every game and had 11 players with a reception last week at Texas Tech. However, he should make an impact. Saunders last season had 50 catches for 1,065 yards at Fresno, an average of 21.3 yards per catch. He also had 12 touchdowns.
"He's quick, he has a great sense of space in there, he has great hands and a great ability to get open," Stoops said. "He's a really good player.''
Here is the press release from OU:
NCAA Clears WR Jalen Saunders to Play
First-team All-WAC in 2011, Saunders was second nationally with a 21.4 yards-per-catch average in 2011.
NORMAN, Okla. – University of Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops announced on Wednesday that WR Jalen Saunders has been cleared to play by the NCAA as his eligibility appeal was approved.
"He's played a lot of football and played it well," Stoops said. "We're hopeful that he will be able to play (on Saturday). He's quick, got a great sense of space and the ability to get open."
The 5-9, 160-pound wide receiver registered the ninth 1,000-yard receiving season in Fresno State history in 2011 as he finished the year with 1,065 receiving yards on 50 receptions. Saunders' 21.4 yards-per-catch average was second nationally as he caught 10 passes that were 44 yards or longer and led the WAC with 12 touchdown receptions. Six of Saunders' 12 touchdown receptions covered 50 yards or longer as the Elk Grove, Calif., native had five games with at least 100 yards receiving.
Saunders was also Fresno State's second-leading rusher in 2011, finishing the season with 91 yards on eight carries as he reached the end zone with either a receiving or rushing touchdown in 10 of 13 games.
Saunders was third on Fresno State's team in receiving as a freshman in 2010 with 27 catches for 441 yards and three touchdowns. His first year of collegiate action also saw him finish with 109 rushing yards on 14 carries.

Effort to save lives makes the rounds during busy time of year for Hispanic family gatherings, celebrations
AUSTIN - Easter, Fiesta and Cinco de Mayo are deeply cherished celebrations within the Hispanic community, but the festivities emphasizing food, family and fun can also lead to tragedy when drinking and driving is involved. In an effort to save lives during this busy time of year, the Texas Department of Transportation is introducing Drink. Drive. Go to Jail. De Veras., a bilingual, culturally relevant campaign aimed at encouraging Hispanic drivers, as well as others, to never drink and drive. Running through May 5, the campaign features a touring interactive truck - themed with imagery inspired by Lotería, a Mexican game of chance similar to bingo - that will visit select cities to invite people to play a game that reminds them not to drink and drive.
"Hispanic citizens make up approximately one-third of our state's population," said John Barton, TxDOT deputy executive director. "This time of year is important and fun, because Easter and Cinco de Mayo hold special cultural significance. We just want to remind everyone that DUI-alcohol crashes are 100 percent preventable, and that one smart decision not to drink and drive can save someone's life, including your own."
In 2013, there were 25,158 DUI-alcohol crashes in Texas that resulted in 8,702 serious injuries and 1,022 deaths. Of those DUI-alcohol crashes, 11,867 - or nearly 37 percent - involved a Hispanic driver. Among young male drivers ages 17-34, Hispanics accounted for nearly half (47 percent) of all crashes where drivers were under the influence of alcohol.
TxDOT is working diligently to educate the public in order to reverse these disturbing statistics. To amplify this effort, TxDOT is partnering with the Texas Association of Mexican American Chambers of Commerce on the Hispanic campaign.
"Texas is home to a large Hispanic population, and we see a definite need to address the issue of drinking and driving in a way that resonates with these drivers and connects with them on a cultural level," said Pauline Anton, executive director, Texas Association of Mexican American Chambers of Commerce. "The key to changing behavior is education, and this campaign achieves this level of heightened awareness. We hope to see many lives saved as a result of the campaign."
This year, the Spanish phrase "De Veras" was added to the existing campaign message of "Drink. Drive. Go to Jail." A common expression of disbelief among Spanish speakers, ¿De Veras? or For Real?, emphatically reinforces the severity of the statement. In other words, Yes, For Real, Believe It! - if caught drinking and driving, you will go to jail.
The Lotería truck, which debuted at San Antonio's Fiesta, is manned by a street team and will continue to make stops at high-traffic community events to offer audience participation in a live, interactive Lotería game. The game cards feature a twist on the traditional Lotería game by incorporating the campaign's safety messages as an education tool. Music and prizes also will be part of the interactive game experience. The Lotería truck will travel to the following cities in April and May to share the campaign's safety message:
Laredo: Centro de Laredo Farmer's Market, April 19
McAllen: Vida Verde Prickly Pear Cactus Festival, April 26
Corpus Christi: Buc Days Festival, April 27
Lubbock: Cinco de Mayo Festival, May 3
