Reviews of W R Winslow Memorial Home
Average Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars based on 2 Reviews
I am a friend or relative of a resident
My mother has been in W R Winslow for about five months. The facility is clean. However, her room is really small, and they have a small stand to keep things. That's it, not even room for a chair. She doesn't like the food because she says they serve them the same green beans and turkey, but she's probably exaggerating. They have a few activities. However, my mom is not well enough, and she only plays bingo. I think they need more staff.
I am a friend or relative of a resident
The nursing home for the most part was very decent. Patients seemed to be happy in their environment. Meals, medication, and especially time are given to all to all residents regularly or as needed. Keeping the more elder or ill residents healthy, clean and, relaxed are the key essentials at this facility. My particular family member in this home gets special attention from the staff to ensure her happiness and also to make sure she still feels part of a family. The only downside to this facility is the dirty restrooms and a faint odor in the hallways. I would recommend the staff take more time to cleaning up as well as making visitors feel comfortable too. I visit this nursing home at least 3 times a month and each visit I stay at least 30 minutes. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner is delicious and I usually eat in the cafeteria with my family members. All in all the facility is great and I would recommend to anyone looking to enroll their elderly family member into a nursing home. In life, transition from homes to nursing homes are stressful on the patient, but Winslow's makes it a bit easier.

Ultrasonic Bonding Of Nonwovens, Films And Textiles
A cost-effective alternative to adhesive bonding
Thomas Herrmann
Ultrasonic bonding is widely used in hygiene production lines. In addition to its use for diapers, training pants and incontinence products, it also is used feminine napkins; filters; surgical masks; gowns and pads; wipes; cosmetic pads; vacuum bags; and coffee and tea filters; among many other textile, film, nonwovens and paper products.
The ultrasonic process is very versatile and can be used in a wide range of products for: laminating/bonding; embossing; perforating; slitting/cutting; and splicing.
With these capabilities, the ultrasonic process can be a cost-saving alternative for existing adhesive bonding applications and often allows new, unique applications with properties that cannot be achieved by any adhesive application process. Examples include:
- laminating multiple layers of material simultaneously to create strong yet soft side seams of training pants, protective underwear for adults or cosmetic pads;
- laminating the cloth-like backsheet of diapers while embossing decorative patterns; and
- bonding a wide range of shapes such as mitt-shaped wipes.
The wide range of applications include multilayered function wipes, medical products (face masks, shoe covers, heating packs and ice bags), bonding of sorbents and laminating
Figure 1: Ultrasonic bonding applications in diapers
Ultrasound is a term used for high frequencies ranging from 20 kilohertz (kHz) to 1 gigahertz (gHz) (Hz = cycles per second). These frequencies are beyond the range of what humans can hear. Ultrasonic welding systems commonly use frequencies of 20, 30 or 35 kHz.
An ultrasonic generator electronically converts line voltage into a high voltage/high frequency signal and delivers it to a converter. In the converter, piezoelectric crystals are sandwiched between two titanium discs and vibrate (expand and contract) at the frequency of the applied electrical signal. The vibration produces a very fast mechanical movement of 20,000 cycles per second with small amplitude of about 18 microns (peak-to-peak).
For most applications, amplitudes of 18 microns are insufficient to weld material. By connecting an amplitude coupler (booster) to the converter, the amplitude of the vibration can be increased. A typical gain of an amplitude coupler is 1:2. A sonotrode (ultrasonic horn), which is connected to the lower end of the amplitude coupler, further increases the amplitude, typically by a factor of 2.3. With the resulting amplitude of 80 microns (peak-to-peak), the material is compressed between the surface of the sonotrode and the top of an anvil. The compression of the nonwoven, film or plastic parts creates both a compression of and friction between the thermoplastic molecules. This results in heating and melting the thermoplastic materials and creates a weld, or bond, between them.
Strength In Ultrasonic Welding
A continuous ultrasonic bonding system consists of an engraved anvil drum and the ultrasonic system with an ultrasonic stack (converter, amplitude coupler and sonotrode). The stack is mounted above the anvil drum, leaving a small gap between the surface of the anvil drum and the sonotrode. While the sonotrode is constantly expanding and contracting - 20,000 times per second - the material passes through the gap between the sonotrode and the anvil drum.
During the expansion phase, the sonotrode compresses the material between the weld surface of the sonotrode and the anvil drum. In thermoplastic materials, this compression creates molecular compression and surface friction, causing the material to selectively melt at the raised bonding points of the anvil drum. During the contraction phase, the sonotrode creates a bigger gap, allowing the material to run through the gap at high speeds without material jams.
The amount of energy brought into the product depends upon the amplitude of the sonotrode and the force applied to the material. While the amplitude remains constant, the bond strength can be adjusted by changing the gap. With a relatively large gap, less force is applied to the material resulting in light bonds; reducing the gap increases the force and will result in stronger bonds.
By varying anvil drum designs, visual appearance of the bond pattern and bonding properties can be customized to the requirements of individual applications.
Through MICROGAP Control
State-of-the-art ultrasonic generators provide a stabilized amplitude output, ensuring that the sonotrode will vibrate with consistent amplitude. Continuous ultrasonic bonding systems also need to maintain a consistent weld force to achieve consistent weld quality at high production speeds, and to virtually eliminate wear and avoid burn-through.
Correctly engineered ultrasonic bonding systems can maintain a consistent weld force by maintaining a constant gap between sonotrode and anvil drum. It is essential to replace the rubber O-ring booster mounts in conventional ultrasonic systems with rigid metal mounts at the nodal plane of the sonotrode.
The mounting of the ultrasonic stack at the sonotrode, patented by Herrmann Ultrasonics Inc., Chicago, in a cast metal mounting device presents an excellent rigid mounting solution and reduces the thermal expansion length of ultrasonic stacks by 66 percent as compared to conventional booster-mounted stacks. For some applications, it may be sufficient to combine such a rigid mounted stack with a pressure-loaded anvil drum as a cost-effective, continuous ultrasonic bonding system.
For full process control, consistent bond quality and high production speeds, Herrmann Ultrasonics developed an actuator unit with a precision height adjustment system. Rather than relying on varying air pressures to change the weld force, this actuator unit uses a stepper motor to change the operating position of the sonotrode via a toggle mechanism. The actuator unit allows setting the gap between sonotrode and anvil drum with extremely high precision for fine adjustments of the bond strength. The adjustment range is 8,000 steps. Each step corresponds to a height adjustment of 0.3 microns.
Herrmann Ultrasonics solved this problem with the development of a patented MICROGAP control system that automatically compensates for thermal expansions. A MICROGAP controller constantly monitors the actual weld force that the sonotrode applies to the material via a load cell in the actuator. The closed-loop controller compares the actual weld force with a programmed target force and, if necessary, adjusts the position of the sonotrode by stepper motor to maintain a constant gap. This ensures consistent bond quality and significantly reduces wear by avoiding contact between sonotrode and anvil drum.
The rigid mounting of the ultrasonic stack allows installing sonotrodes side by side and very close to each other in one row. Combined with the special shape of the sonotrodes, wide webs can be bonded seamlessly without unbonded lanes between the sonotrodes. Commercial ultrasonic calendars include machines with production widths of 120 inches, or 3 meters. Larger widths are possible.
On high-speed converting lines, ultrasonic bonding systems with MICROGAP control allow producing consistently high quality bond results at speeds of up to 1,500 ft/min (500 m/min).
Elimination of adhesives from the bonding process
o The production process no longer depends on the availability of adhesives.
o There is no negative impact by increasing adhesive costs on the bottom line.
o Significant cost savings are achieved by eliminating the cost of adhesive from the product.
o No time consuming and expensive qualification of substitute adhesive types are needed for adhesives that are no longer available.
o There is no chemical reaction between adhesive and lotion or cleaning solution in wet wipes, which may dissolve the adhesive, destroy the bond and contaminate the lotion or solution of the wipe.
Possibility of using thinner materials:
o Cost savings by using thinner, less expensive nonwovens and films;
o No bleed-through of adhesives through thin nonwovens; and
o No heat distortion of thin films by hotmelt adhesives.
New possibilities beyond capabilities of adhesive applications include:
o Bonding multiple layers of material simultaneously, such as six 12 layers in side seams of training pants;
o Intermittent bonding patterns in a wide range of shapes such as mitts, ovals and circles, is possible;
o Changing bonding patterns easily using anvil drums with different engraving; and
o Creating attractive, embossed laminates by using decorative bonding patterns for product differentiation or brand recognition, e.g. laminating cloth-like backsheet for diapers with embossed pattern, or bonding laminates with embossed company logo or brand name.
Additional process and maintenance advantages include:
o Safe process - ultrasonic bonding works without hot, pressurized medium that could hurt operators or maintenance personnel;
o Instantaneous system availability, not heat-up time required;
o Immediate bond strength with virtually no open time or cooling phase;
o No machine downtime by adhesive contamination, clogged adhesive spray nozzles or broken control modules of adhesive application heads;
o No repair of hot and sticky parts required; and
o Low energy costs.
o Due to the nature of the process, ultrasonic bonding normally requires some thermoplastic contents in the material that can melt to create bonds. However, in some cases it is even possible to achieve sufficient bond strength with non-thermoplastic materials such as tissue. Trials in an application lab allow evaluating the feasibility of ultrasonic bonding for specific material combinations.
With the availability of advanced and proven continuous ultrasonic bonding systems, ultrasonic bonding is a reliable and controllable production process. State-of-the-art ultrasonic bonding systems with MICROGAP control can meet today's high speed and quality requirements of demanding nonwovens applications.
Beyond the mere substitution of existing applications, ultrasonic bonding creates opportunities for a wide range of new applications with unique properties that cannot be achieved with any adhesive application system.

"Let Me See You Adopt One Of Those Ugly Black Babies"
One of the deeply ironic, dirty little secrets of liberals in this country is that they view black Americans as inferior.
So, why do they support Affirmative Action, then? Because they think black people are too stupid and incompetent to compete with white Americans on an even playing field.
Why do they oppose voter ID? Because they think black people are too stupid and incompetent to handle getting ID.
Why do they favor abortion? In part, because they believe it reduces the number of black Americans whom they see as inferior.
Eugenics was embraced by liberals; Margaret Sanger, the Founder of Planned Parenthood, explicitly advocated using abortion to reduce the number of black babies. The attitude on the Left hasn't changed much since then.
If you want to see it on display, here's abortionist Ron Virmani going back and forth with pro-life Christians and he says, "Let me see you adopt one of those ugly black babies."
Conservatives fight to keep black children alive. Liberals believe they're doing society a service by killing those same children in the womb.

I'll be the first to admit that I love strength training equipment. Those of us who use weights know that defying gravity is the biggest challenge of all. But I find the need to mix up my workouts and get back to routines that involve pushing and pulling only my own body weight.
Believe me, your own body weight is enough to build strength and whole body fitness. You can build muscle with body weight exercises such as pull ups, chin ups, sit ups, crunches, lunges and squats, and with simple jumps, sprints and knee-high skips. If you're training in a sport, you can improve overall balance and reflexes and develop the quick muscle release and explosive power you need to play with plyometrics, boot camp fitness training workouts and other off-the-machine exercises.
Here are five essential equipment-free exercises that you can do in the gym or at home. If you string them together into a routine (and I'll suggest some), you can also do them at home, but it's best to have a mat, and training or careful practice. For pylometrics, practice your low-impact landings whether you're landing on your feet or your hands during explosive push ups. The idea is to do these moves always correctly, over and over, in your workout and build up the muscle memory to land without injury and minimize joint impact. That way, you avoid injury in your sport. (*note: always check with your physician before starting a new workout regimen)
- Vertical jumping. Try the straight jump-and-reach. Stand straight and tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms hanging down and relaxed. Squat slightly and jump up and high as you can. Stretch your arms above your head to touch something over your head or hit a mark on a wall. Now try jumping over an obstacle, say a foot-high box. Take the same stance, bend your hips slightly and jump over the box. Keep your body straight and tuck your knees toward your chest. Turn around and do it again. Now try a standing broad jump. Bend your knees slightly, swing your arms back and then forward as you jump and land on both feet. Stretch up slowly. Touch your toes slowly. Return to standing position and do it again. Try the standing broad jump with a one-foot landing, jump again and land on the other foot, jump again and land on both feet. Alternate broad jumps with sprints and you will be sweating. For one more vertical jump exercise, here's a video on depth jumping.
- Lateral hopping. Start with some lateral shuffles. Stan with your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and your body leaning forward. Step with your right foot as far out to your right side as you can. Bring your left foot alongside back into the starting position. Keep going to the right, with your right foot leading the way, for a dozen steps. Now stop and lead with your left foot in the direction you just came. As long as you keep correct form, you can increase the pace. Now do some side-to-side ankle hops. Make two marks on the floor with tape about three feet apart. Stand on one leg next to one of the marks with your feet at shoulder-width and your arms relaxed at your side. Hop back and forth between the marks on the floor placing your right foot beside the right-hand mark and your left-foot beside the left-hand mark.
- Clapping push-ups. Start on the floor in a push up with your hands at shoulder width on a mat and your toes on the floor. Drop down to the floor and then push up explosively. At the top of the push-up, clap your hands together once and drop back to the floor. Ouch, those burn!
- Incline push-ups. Start on the floor, prone, with your hands shoulder-width apart and your toes on a box or a stack of books that makes your feet higher than your head. Explosively push up off the floor and lower yourself down. If you combine it with the clap, catch yourself on your hands on the mats in push-up position with a slightly wider hand width than when you started. Lower yourself, reset your hands and start over. Whoa, those really burn!
- Cardio. The American Council on Exercise recommends cardiovascular exercise, movement that gets your heart rate up to improve oxygen consumption by the body. Calisthenics are a good and necessary addition to your equipment-free body-weight exercises. You can skip rope, run up stairs, do jumping jacks, run in place, or do or knee-high skipping in place. Do three or four different exercises for 30 seconds each and then rest for two or three minutes. If you're near a field, try a 40-yard dash.
A key to using these exercises is to combine them so you get a full-body workout based on balance, form, strength, power and oxygen-rich movement. LiveStrong gives a good overview of equipment-free exercising. With a trainer or on your own, design a program. Keep it balanced. Don't go too fast, over-repeat, or work out too long. Remember to include recovery intervals.
A few seriously fun programs to check out for ideas: the 14-week, pre-boot camp Air Force workout; the NFL Scouting Combine routine; and the Daniel Craig Workout I ran across in Men's Health magazine (James Bond's workout!). Go for it!

Dear Rev. Graham: You've probably been asked this many times, but who is responsible for all the bad things that happen in the world? Are we responsible for them, or is it the devil? -- N.R.R.
Rev. Graham: The answer is - both! Satan is constantly working to bring chaos and death to the human race, but we also are responsible for turning against God and bringing untold sorrow into the world.
Although he is unseen and often unnoticed, Satan is constantly at work behind the scenes to disrupt God's plans for the world. Don't think of him as a cute but harmless cartoon character, dressed up in a red suit and brandishing a pitchfork. Satan is a powerful evil spirit, who works throughout the universe trying to block everything God is doing. The Bible says, "Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour" (1 Peter 5:8).
But the Bible also stresses that while Satan may influence and tempt us, ultimately we are responsible for the evil we do. Every sin we commit is an act of rebellion against God and we alone are responsible for it. Sin has taken root in our souls, and it constantly bears its bitter fruit in our lives. In thought, word and deed, sin brings nothing but evil into our lives.
The most important thing I can tell you, however, is this: Satan is a defeated foe -- and so is the sin that resides in us! Yes, they are still active, but by His death and resurrection Christ conquered them, bringing us forgiveness and new life. Don't be a slave to Satan or sin any longer, but by faith commit your life to Christ and allow His Spirit to control you. Christ gives us hope -- hope today, and hope for eternity.

According to the USDA, the price of groceries will go up between 3 and 4 percent in 2013. The reason? A drought that drove up the cost of animal feed. For now, the increase will likely be limited to milk, eggs, and many meats. Fruits, veggies and processed foods are likely to remain unaffected.
Before you switch to a vegan lifestyle to beat the increase, try a few tips to lower your grocery bill first. Actually, theses are better than tips. They're dirty little secrets. Rules of the road (or aisle). Guidelines you can't ignore. In other words, just do them and you'll save a whole lot of money.
AVOID TOILETRIES – No, I'm not suggesting you stop buying toiletries entirely, just stop buying them at the grocery store. In most cases, you'll find better deals on toiletries at stores like CVS or Rite-Aid.
AVOID PREPARED FOODS – Sure, the deli's potato salad is deee-lish, but it's also expensive. Steer clear of these conveniences and make your own potato salad (and other prepared sides) from scratch for a fraction of the cost. And guess what? It'll probably be just as deee-lish as the deli's dish.
AVOID THE MIDDLE SHELVES – Grocery stores place the more expensive options at eye level, where we're more likely to see them and grab them without thinking. Beat them at their own game by shopping for similar goods on the top and bottom shelves, where the deals are usually better.
AVOID PRE-CUT FOODS – Packaged cheese, pre-cut fruit, and bags of lettuce are convenient, no doubt about it, but they're way more expensive than buying the cheese/fruit/lettuce and cutting it yourself.
AVOID BOTTLED WATER – You've heard it before and you'll hear it again: Bottled water is waste of money. Okay, maybe it's not a waste of money, but you can definitely save money by investing in a filtration system – either a container with a filter built in or a filter installed on your sink tap.
So there you have it, five ways to beat the rise in grocery costs in 2013. There are a lot more tips where these came from, so look for part two of this entry tomorrow!

GE Opens Wind Turbine Drivetrain Repair Lab In New York
NAW Staff, Thursday 27 February 2014 - 11:02:30
GE has
what it dubs the Global Wind Turbine Drivetrain Repair Innovation Lab at the site of the company's Power Generation Repair Technology Center in Albany, N.Y.
According to GE, the facility is equipped with advanced technologies to support fast development and innovation for repairs to the wind turbine's gearbox and rotor, creating a lab environment to simulate and solve problems that previously had to be worked on more than 100 meters in the air and at remote sites.
"This is the first facility of its kind dedicated to developing repair technologies and capabilities that reduce the lifecycle cost of wind turbines," says Andy Holt, GE's general manager of global wind projects and services. "Albany was an ideal location for the facility with its close proximity to GE's renewable energy headquarters, the GE Energy Learning Center, as well as the existing Repair Technologies Center. It is uniquely positioned for collaboration with the field, design engineering, training and product service teams."

Nicole Anderson.
A year ago, Hurricane Sandy swept through the East coast—destroying thousands of homes, shutting down infrastructure, and knocking out substations—which resulted in $68 billion in damage. Yesterday, a day before the anniversary of the super storm, ten finalists in the Rebuild by Design competition unveiled their proposals to remake a more resilient coastline. The competition—launched by Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), among other participating organizations—called on the final teams to provide ideas for making the affected coastal areas more resilient to withstand future storms and climate change.

In response to Hurricane Sandy, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) launched the Rebuild by Design competition to develop strategies to increase the resiliency of urban and coastal areas in the face of extreme weather events and climate change. According to HUD's website, the goal of the competition is "to promote innovation by developing regionally-scalable but locally-contextual solutions that increase resilience in the region, and to implement selected proposals with both public and private funding dedicated to this effort. The competition also represents a policy innovation by committing to set aside HUD Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery funding specifically to incentivize implementation of winning projects and proposals. Examples of design solutions are expected to range in scope and scale—from large-scale green infrastructure to small-scale residential resiliency retrofits."
The shortlist of 10 teams—including architects, landscape architects, university groups, developers, engineers and others—has been announced.
With $8 Million in Funding, East River Blueway Prepares to Transform Brooklyn Bridge Beach
Thursday, August 8, 2013
Elizabeth Fazzare.
Last week, Manhattan Borough President Scott M. Stringer and City Council Speaker Christine C. Quinn announced an $8 million achievement of capital funding for the East River Blueway proposal for redevelopment of the Brooklyn Bridge Beach. The proposal, set by President Stringer and Assemblyman Kavanagh in collaboration with WXY architecture + urban design, will redesign and improve the stretch of East River greenway in Lower Manhattan from East 38th Street to the Brooklyn Bridge.
In Construction> WXY's SeaGlass Carousel in Battery Park
Monday, March 18, 2013
Branden Klayko.
WXY architecture + urban design has been adding to Lower Manhattan's Battery Park over the years, designing concession stands, a variety of benches, and a fountain, but their latest addition is adding a twist on the usual urban carousel. AN began watching the ocean-themed SeaGlass carousel back in 2006 when it was announced and the Battery Conservancy will be hosting a topping off ceremony for the structure on April 18. The carousel's frame is made of stainless steel, evoking the spiral of a giant sea shell or the ornate ceiling of a cathedral.
WXY principal Claire Weisz said the part of the facade now covered in plywood sheathing will be clad in metal panels while other portions will include "smart glass" that can change from transparent to a dark blue tint. The solid areas serve as projection surfaces on the interior where underwater scenes will add to the enchanted effect of riding atop larger-than-life sea creatures like dolphins, clown fish, and turtles. Watch Weisz and co-principal Mark Yoes describe the carousel and other WXY projects in their Emerging Voices address from March 16, 2011. SeaGlass is the the latest in a line of high design carousels in New York, joining Jean Nouvel's Jane's Carousel in Brooklyn Bridge Park.
Before & After> WXY's Blueway Plan To Transform Manhattan's Waterfront
Wednesday, March 13, 2013
Branden Klayko.
WXY architecture + urban design has a game plan to revive Manhattan's East River waterfront, softening its hard edges with wetlands, beaches, and new pedestrian and cyclist amenities to create a model city based on resilient sustainability and community-driven recreation. AN spoke with WXY principal Claire Weisz about her firm's East River Blueway plan to find out a new waterfront can help New York stand up to the next major storm. Below, slide between the current views of the East River waterfront and the proposed changes under the Blueway plan.
WXY's Beach Pavilion Catches a Wave in the Rockaways
Tuesday, July 17, 2012
Tom Stoelker.
As part of Quennell Rothschild's master plan for the Rockaways, WXY Architects was tapped to design the beach pavilion and two shade shelters. The pavilion will be open to the public tomorrow, Wednesday, July 18, with a ribbon cutting set for later this month. A wave-like roof flows from a utilitarian box enlivened by glazed brick stripes arranged in muted shades of mint, lime, and hunter green. Circular openings are punched into the roof covering a large outdoor boardwalk made of recycled plastic.

Online JavaDoc doesn't match API
Hi there Minioners
just a quick observation of mine: There are a couple of JavaDoc mismatches with the current API. Some methods like UpdateElement#update(boolean) supply a "includeBeta" parameter which are not actually part of the API.
Is my API not up-to-date? If so, is there a convenient method to download the latest API (I only have the one from the Java WebStart launcher) like.. I dont know... a download link?

Children's book by Mormon apostle's wife draws fire
A new children's book aimed at promoting strict adherence to Mormon values is generating controversy, criticism and even a recall petition among LDS bloggers for what it omits any sense of repentance and forgiveness.
"The Not Even Once Club," written by Wendy Watson Nelson, wife of LDS apostle Russell M. Nelson, tells the story of Tyler, a new kid in town, who wants to join the club the other Mormon kids at church have. They tell him he can come into the treehouse if he knows the password, which is "Not. Even. Once." He is offered candy, games, puzzles, popcorn and pretzels as long as he pledges never to "break the Word of Wisdom [LDS prohibitions on alcohol, tobacco, tea and coffee], lie, cheat, steal, do drugs, bully, dress immodestly, or break the law of chastity ... intentionally look at anything pornographic on TV, the Internet, a cellphone, billboards, magazines, or movies."
Critics complain that the book promotes a kind of Mormon elitism and endorses giving candy as a reward for righteous living and withholding it and group membership for children who make a mistake. It equates drinking coffee with more serious problems such as sexual sin, they say, and encourages perfectionism that undermines belief in Christ's atoning sacrifice.
"At a time when righteousness was equated with exact observance of rules, Jesus taught that God is concerned not so much with our actions as with the motivations behind them. There are only two commandments, and they are both love," writes LDS blogger Edward Jones at Rational Faiths.
Mormons "give constant lip service to Christ's atonement, but our highest aspiration is never to come within a hundred feet of it," Jones writes. "If only we can prevent people from performing wrong actions, we think, they can return safely to heaven, untouched by the world and I would add, untouched by Christ's grace."
Although it is important to set high behavioral standards for children, Jones writes, "all people make mistakes and need Christ's atonement. Children who read this book and go on to sin, as all people do, will feel needless shame and humiliation."
Jones is spearheading an online petition drive, asking LDS Church-owned Deseret Book, the publisher, to remove "The Not Even Once Club" from its shelves and inventory.
After a couple of days, the petition has garnered more than 100 signatures.
When asked for a response from Deseret Book CEO Sheri Dew or the author, the publisher's spokeswoman, Michelle Moore, issued the following statement defending the book:
" 'The Not Even Once Club' was created to help LDS parents and their children discuss the importance of making and keeping promises."
The publisher, Moore said, encouraged people "to read the short story in its entirety and the 'Guide for Parents and Children' in the back of the book, especially the emphasis on the atonement of Jesus Christ."
Jones acknowledged that, though repentance and Christ's atonement are not part of the story, it is mentioned in "the final three inches of text" in the parents' guide.
It doesn't change his view, he says, that "while this book was clearly written and produced in good faith, it is not good doctrine and not psychologically healthy for children."
In response to Deseret Book's statement, Emily W. Jensen, another Mormon blogger, writes in an email that the book "should have a warning on it: 'Make sure a child never reads this on his/her own.' "
She blogged about it at bycommonconsent.

In her (June 4) letter Michele Neils asks, "Why is it so hard to obey God but so easy to obey Satan?"
I for one do not obey Satan, as I have never met the fellow, and strongly doubt he exists. Rather, when I practice contraception, love my gay friends, champion abortion rights, and support a rational person's right to die, I do so precisely because I feel these are good and moral behaviors.
Though Ms. Neils may consider certain philosophies and identities to be "immoral sins," she should keep in mind that many people -believers and nonbelievers alike - thoughtfully disagree with her. I also hope she remembers the words of a wise man: "Judge not lest ye be judged."

We characterized T-lymphocyte subsets in peripheral blood of smokers (N = 60) and nonsmokers (N = 35). Total T-lymphocytes and T cell subsets were similar to nonsmokers in light and moderate smokers. In heavy smokers, total OKT3+ cells were increased, the percentage of OKT4+ cells was decreased, and percentage and total number of OKT8+ cells were increased. The ratio of OKT4+ to OKT8+ lymphocytes was decreased in heavy smokers. The percentage of OKT8+ cells and the OKT4+/OKT8+ ratio returned to normal in heavy smokers six weeks after they stopped smoking. These findings suggest that cigarette smoking causes reversible alterations in immunoregulatory T cells.

I'm following simple examples like this one:
But i can't get the stateless bean from the
module i've successfully deployed on
no matter what i try.
I get:
root cause
i tried with @EJB,
w/ and w/o @EJB mapped name,
w/ and w/o ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml (which i doubt i configured properly anyway but the example don't say anything about them,
and with new
().lookup(...) too
at best i got a:
: Could not dereference object [Root exception is ja
at org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContext.getObjectInstanceWrapFailure(NamingC
when i probably managed to integrate it but run into another problem.
some example code:
The backing bean
- from which i try to display something in a JSF/JSP page and can't:
package demo; import javax.ejb.EJB; import com.manning.jbia.GreeterBean; /** * Created by JBoss Developer Studio */ public class User { @EJB private GreeterBean greeterBean; private String greeting; private String name; /** * @return User Name */ public String getName() { return name; } /** * @param User Name */ public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } public String getGreeting() { return greeterBean.getAllGreetings().get(0).getGreeting(); } public void setGreeting(String greeting) { this.greeting = greeting; } }
The interface
package com.manning.jbia; import java.util.List; import javax.ejb.Remote; @Remote public interface Greeter { public void greet(String message); public List<Greeting> getAllGreetings(); }
The bean
package com.manning.jbia; import java.util.List; import javax.ejb.Stateless; import javax.naming.InitialContext; import javax.naming.NamingException; import javax.persistence.EntityManager; import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext; @Stateless public class GreeterBean implements Greeter { @PersistenceContext private EntityManager em; public void greet(String message) { Greeting greeting = new Greeting(message); em.persist(greeting); } public List<Greeting> getAllGreetings() { Greeter greeter = null; try { InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(); greeter = (Greeter) ctx.lookup("GreeterBean/remote"); } catch (NamingException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } greeter.greet("Hello, world!"); return em.createQuery("from Greeting").getResultList(); } }
The entity
package com.manning.jbia; import java.io.Serializable; import javax.persistence.Entity; import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue; import javax.persistence.Id; @Entity public class Greeting implements Serializable { private Integer id; private String message; public Greeting() { } public Greeting(String message) { this.message = message; } @Id @GeneratedValue public Integer getId() { return id; } public String getGreeting() { return message; } private void setId(Integer id) { this.id = id; } private void setGreeting(String message) { this.message = message; } }

Hi there, to get a reference to the same ejb, use sessionContext.getBusinessObject(Greeter.class)(inject sessionContext with @Resource) instead of doing
ctx = new
(); greeter = (Greeter) ctx.lookup("GreeterBean/remote");
If it still doesn´t work, please put the full stack trace

Hello, sorry I've been out during weekend for I have no internet at home momentarily.
Injecting a @Resource would probably work on JBoss as it is one of the solutions I also read about (i will give it a try and update when i
it on JBoss - although i have doubts, since @Resource injection is in the same category as @EJB)
I will describe the solution I found, although JBoss complains about it.
(I will update here with the WARN message after I apply the solution)
The situation was that when i try to inject using @EJB annotation, JBoss gives ERROR:
Caused by:
: Resolution should not happen via injection container
But when i get the context like this in User.java:
Note i added getInitialContext() and commented out the @EJB injection

It works, although in this JBoss instalation / example it also gives a bizarre error that doesn't seem to affect anything:
[STDERR] javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: GreeterBean not bound

I found the problem.
Deployed and exploded EAR directory names mustn't end in .ear (Eclipse was deploying like that) - as soon as i renamed w/o the .ear it started working.
I'll leave it unresolved for the problem with @EJB annotation that won't work

I like...
Feb 22, 2011 06:45:12
is most likely because you are using the wrong JNDI name. While deploying as a .ear the (default) JNDI name of the bean is different from what you use when you deploy as a .jar. See
for more info.
I guess when you removed the .ear extension, it probably is considering it to be a .jar (which is a bit odd actually). Anyway, rename it back to .ear (if it indeed is a .ear file) and then change the lookup code to use the correct JNDI name.

Thank you. This also fixed the @EJB "Resolution should not happen via injection
container" problem. Here it sais more:
I did go over that one bit of info but I didn't couple it with this:
private Context getInitialContext() { Properties p = new Properties(); p.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory"); p.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", " org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces"); p.put("java.naming.provider.url", "jnp://localhost:1099"); InitialContext initialContext = null; try { initialContext = new InitialContext(p); } catch (NamingException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return initialContext; }
which can actually sit in the the
EAR_project_name.ear/EJB_project_name.jar/META-INF/jndi.properties, while the
WAR_project_name.war references the EJB_project_name.jar (Eclipse -> build path
->projects -> add)
... which isn't actually needed because JBoss provides it by default ...
Glad it's finally sorted out.
I agree. Here's the link:

EANDI EBERLE, Silvia et al. Erythrocyte indexes in hereditary spherocytosis. Medicina (B. Aires) [online]. 2007, vol.67, n.6, pp. 698-700. ISSN 1669-9106.
Hereditary spherocytosis is a group of heterogenous disorders characterized by variability in its clinical manifestations, membrane protein defects and inheritance. We analysed the sensitivity and specificity of mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and red cell distribution width (RDW) in the diagnostic screening of hereditary spherocytosis. Ninetyfour patients were compared to equal number of healthy, age-matched children. All indexes were derived from measurements obtained by aperture impedance (Coulter Counter Model JT). In patients with hereditary spherocytosis, MCHC (35.67±1.33 g/dl) and RDW (20.60±4.5%) were significantly higher than in normal control subjects (MCHC 33.48±0.68 g/dl, p: 0.000; RDW 13.22±0.9%, p: 0.000). By using a cutoff for the MCHC of 34.5 g/dl and for the RDW of 14.5%, both indexes showed a sensitivity of 81% and a specificity of 98.9%. The combination of the two test is an excellent predictor for the diagnosis of hereditary spherocytosis.

A Curious Clue to Parkinson's
Drugs that boost protein aggregation could provide a new route to treatment
Source: "Pharmacological Promotion of Inclusion Formation: A Therapeutic Approach for Huntington's and Parkinson's Diseases"
Ruth Bodner et al.
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 103(11): 4246-4251
Results: Ruth Bodner, a postdoc at MIT's Center for Cancer Research, biology professor David Housman, and colleagues have identified a compound that can increase protein aggregation in cellular models of Parkinson's and Huntington's disease. When treated with the compound, called B2, Parkinson's cells that normally would have died survived. And Huntington's cells treated with the compound had better–functioning proteosomes – the cellular "garbage cans" that are often dysfunctional in the disease.
Why it matters: Abnormal aggregations of protein are a characteristic of many types of neurodegenerative disease, including Huntington's, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. However, there is continuing scientific disagreement over the nature of these aggregations. While they correlate with some aspects of the diseases, recent evidence suggests that they may be harmless or even helpful in preventing neuro-toxicity. The MIT study builds on this last possibility by demonstrating that increased protein aggregation can improve the health of cells modeling neurodegenerative disease.
Methods: Scientists conducted a large-scale drug screen, examining how different compounds affected cells that had been engineered to produce mutant proteins implicated in Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease.
Next Step: The MIT researchers conducting the experiments would like to figure out how the B2 compound works. Cells usually get rid of misshapen proteins by breaking them down in proteosomes, but this mechanism may get overloaded in neurodegenerative disease. Housman and Bodner theorize that the compound works by helping the cell sequester into clumps the single proteins or smaller aggregates of proteins that might be harmful to it.

Wine comes in a multitude of styles, and even if you focus on just one grape variety, the variations are almost endless.
Indeed, styles of wine have evolved radically over the years, first one way and then another, in an ever-shifting samba that can leave the average consumer flummoxed.
Every grape variety can be viewed in this way, each grape, all deserving of a long essay on what's what and why.
And since there are roughly three dozen grape varieties around the world that make wine of a commercial nature (some more commercial than others), you can imagine how large a book would have to be to dissect this complicated subject.
Just look at the ins and outs of chardonnay production over the last 50 years and you can see how labyrinthine this can be.
First, we start with the fact that how a grape grows is dictated by where it is planted, and not only the region it's in, but in which types of soil. That means that the choice of rootstock must also be taken into consideration. Roots react differently in different soils.
Moreover, the specific clones of chardonnay will dictate which nuances of aroma and taste will be delivered, and the wine grower must decide if the clones chosen are right for his or her plot of land.
It goes on. And includes such things as the type of leaf canopy to use for the vines, the right time to harvest the grapes, the type of yeast strain used to start the fermentation, the temperature at which the fermentation is conducted, whether to add some acidity before the fermentation starts, and the kind of oak barrels to use in the post-ferment aging process. Or whether to use any barrels at all.
The late Prof. Maynard Amerine at the University of California at Davis once estimated that a winemaker must make roughly 200 decisions from the time the plant begins to produce blossoms until the wine is finally bottled. I ran that by some winemakers years ago, and most said Amerine missed another 100 or so decisions.
And one winemaker said that an informed decision to do nothing occasionally was the best course of action — adding, "Doing nothing has to be a conscious choice, so in and of itself, that is a decision."

Is that an issue when you're talking about a 9th pin that would be the ground?
Is that an issue when you're talking about a device that can only receive power, not send, therefore making any connection with the ground not an issue as that would also be the ground for the USB-A end if it's plugged into anything?
Generally, the metal "plug" part of the connector is actually a shield, and not a ground. The shield is connected to ground however, usually inside the host computer, while the shield and ground are isolated at the peripheral. This helps to prevent electromagnetic interference. So in other words, I doubt Apple would be using the shield as a ground for powering and charging the devices.
The iPhone can send power, that's how accessories like the camera to Dock Connector work. Data communications do send power both ways. How else could the data from the iPhone get back to the host if the electricity only flowed one way? Many of the pins (currently) are live all the time, and inserting the rumoured connector would short the pins on each insertion and removal.
How would you short the data pins? What would they be shorted by? I'm under the impression that only the powered pins can cause shorts.
If it is 8 pins (which is one less than USB 3.0) and Apple has designed a more complex and sophisticated system that can switch the data the pins can send and receive that would also leave open the possibility for it to be 16(17) pins while still being reversible as it could also detect the orientation based on HW in the cable or the device the cable is connected to.
Data pins are powered, and can be shorted, and on early USB equipment, shorting the data+ and data- on a USB socket on a computer would often kill the socket. Shorting the data pins with the power pins was sometimes fatal to the whole logic board. Nowadays the power pins are fused, and the data pins are protected well enough not to blow up when shorted.
USB uses differential communication, a pair or wires makes up a single data line. Hence USB 1 and 2 have just a single, half duplex (can't simultaneously communicate bidirectionally) communication line consisting of two wires. USB 3 has two grounds, one 5v, and three pairs of data lines (allowing full duplex, simultaneous bidirectional communication), which equals the 9 pins. I think I may be the first to point out that because two of the pins in the official USB 3 A connector are both ground, Apple may well be able to get away with using just one ground instead, so only 8 pins would be in use.
I'll repeat that, only one ground may be required, thus making USB 3's pin requirements identical to the eight pins that are shown in the pictures. You can't really turn off some of the pins without dropping back to USB2, unless you had some kind of buffering circuitry in the cable itself. That'd make for a very expensive cable. I still don't think the iPhone 5 will have USB 3 though.
Having solely USB for dock/speakers/microphones/video out will make accessories much more expensive, as the processing would need to be done in the accessory, unless it used the headphone jack too. Hopefully this wont be the case, and the pins can supply line level audio outputs and serial communication too. Perhaps the idea is to use the headphone jack as a partial substitute for the lost pins, using it to supplement the Dock Connector, effectively adding an extra four pins.

Thanks for your explanation. I do think they could overcome the obvious negative consequences of shorting the contacts with some innovative firmware/software based override techniques but this would just be another typical proprietary Apple solution: i.e. Think different, Not necessarily better, just different.

No problem. It would be possible to have resistors in series with each pin, but for power pins a resistor large enough to prevent shorting damage would also reduce the power available to connected accessories to an unacceptably low level. You could have resettable fuses too, but they allow large currents for a short while before they blow, plus they're physically big. Other than having some kind of switch in the socket to actually enable the pins (I think you suggested this earlier), there isn't really a viable hardware or software solution.
Just to clarify my previous post: it is possible to have bidirectional data communications where the electrons only flow one direction, thus allowing the iPhone's data pins to be unpowered, but it's not used for high-speed data transfer. It's only for pretty low speed stuff, and certainly not USB.

Explain to me how short would work in regards to my previous example of how of the 9th pin could open the circuit for the other 8 when fully inserted?

That is about the only way it could be done. It would actually close the circuit not open it (no current flows in an open circuit). Seems a bit clunky though, a bit of dirt or dust blocking the button's release would cause a short when removing the connector.
There are other issues too: the metal edge of the connector would cause hideous wear to the gold coated pins in the iDevice unless they somehow lifted out the way before insertion.
The exposed pins on the plug would only have to flop down on a coin, edge of a MacBook, iMac, Apple keyboard etc, and it'd short out some or all the pins. Not good at all. Perhaps the plug only becomes live when it's inserted, but again all these buttons and mechanisms make for one mightily expensive cable.

Posted By Amy Materson On March 2, 2011 @ 3:05 pm In The Rental Show 2011 | No Comments
Choose from three generators with the Honda Industrial Series, showcased at the Rental Show in Las Vegas. In addition to the existing EB3000c model, Honda replaced the EB3500 with a new model, the EB4000. The company also redesigned the EB5000 and EB6500. The Industrial Series features the iGX simple I platform engine, as well as the iAVR Power Advantage, which reduces voltage fluctuation by 50 percent, according to the company. The iAVR system enables increased wattage above maximum rating to start high-amp load applications. All of the generators have a fluorine fuel tube and canister system with tethered chain-type gas cap.
EB4000: Features the iGX270 engine with a 9.8-hour run time at rated load; 71-dB rating.
EB5000: Features the iGX390 engine with 8.4-hour run time at rated load; 72-dB rating.
EB6500: Features the iBX390 engine with 7-hour run time at rated load; 73-dB rating.

Hi all,
Not strictly surfing but close enough...
Am going to buy a windsurf off a chap but I've no idea how to transport the thing around, just intend on picking it up down the country and dropping it in wexford for the summer, then bring it up to Dublin for the Winter.
Whats the best options for this - roofrack, trailer, strap it in back of car (VW Golf) with boot left open??
Can you rent roofracks or trailers from anywhere for a couple of days?
Do roofracks mess up the paintwork of the car???
