Posts about book donors
Dear all,
Adnan worked on the book application and came up with a more comprehensive text.
I did already some corrections, but your feed-back would be most welcome before Adnan sents it to BIG Books.
PS: I just read on their website that they are shipping books to Pakistan for a self-funded organisation - maybe Adnan, you should harry up, you´ll never know if it can be easier if they are already shipping other books to Pakistan.
(1) Full name of organization. Fatima Jinnah Educational Complex
Help to secure books and computers
To get the centre running and to admit more women and girls, the centre needs more books (especially English language books) and computers for the computer classes.
Help to find organisations that could donate books and/or computers and help Adnan to fill in application forms.
This is what Adnan and his team have already done so far to give you an overview of the state of the centre:
1.a building is rented on amount of RS=18000/=per month,followed with long term agreement of 5years & 10% increment will be there each year.
2. 10 computers are bought (RS=180000/=)
Research & Identify Organizations and/or Local Publishing Houses To Obtain Books
The Bukoggolwa Secondary school is in need of books and textbooks for all secondary subjects.
For this task we are looking for volunteers who can help us identify organizations that donate books and local publishing houses that carry books for secondary school teaching.
Please help us to compile a complete list with detailed contact information.
Hi Stephen
I went through that list of potential book donors and pulled out details of those that appear mostly likely to be able to help Matopeni. Can't fill in any of the applications as I don't have enough information on the types of books you want. The attached document gives more information on the types of books they send, the details they will need from you, and where to send the application. I hope that helps! Let me know if you need any more info or you can't open the doc.
Find and contact organisations that donate books
Through the efforts of many Neighbours over the past 18 months Garden Library has received many donated books! The library has the capacity to hold over 4000 books however right now the library holds 500 books. We have empty shelves! The Library needs more books!

By a vote of 15-2, Jacksonville City Council passed an ordinance Tuesday night to bring Uber car service to the city.
Uber is an app you can download on your smart phone in which you can request a car service.
There is no date set yet on when Uber will begin service in the city.
Some City Council members told Channel 4 they think the new service would be a great opportunity for the city, while some are concerned that Uber will hurt taxi cab companies who are regulated by meters.
"They want to put you in any kind of vehicle and it has no meter and they can charge whatever they want to charge and all of your consumer protection is gone," said City Councilman Richard Clark.
Councilman Stephen Joost said the service would bring business to Jacksonville and customers should have the right to choose which option would suit them the best.

Rivals.com five-star tracker: Class of 2006
Steve Megargee and Mike Huguenin
Rivals.com College Football Staff
We're closing in on National Signing Day, but don't necessarily expect that heralded five-star recruit to deliver an instant impact.
Only three of the 33 five-star prospects from last year made the Rivals.com Freshman All-America team this season. The vast majority couldn't crack the starting lineup on their respective teams.
As the list of five-star prospects in the past four signing classes shows, it generally takes a while -- even for can't-miss guys -- to make a big impact in college.
Patience is the key. Many of the players on these lists have gone on to have outstanding careers.
Here is a look at the careers of the five-star prospects in the Class of 2006.
MORE: Class of 2009 | Class of 2008 | Class of 2007
1. WR Percy Harvin, Florida
BUZZ: He finished his career at Florida in 2008, turning pro after his junior season. He ran for 1,852 yards and 19 TDs at Florida and had 133 receptions for 1,929 yards and 13 more touchdowns. He was a first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in the 2009 NFL draft and was named NFL offensive rookie of the year.
2. OT Andre Smith, Alabama
BUZZ: Smith was a three-year starter for the Tide before turning pro after his junior season. He was a first-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in the '09 NFL draft. He was a freshman All-America selection in 2006, a first-team All-SEC pick in '07 and a consensus All-America in '08.
3. RB Chris Wells, Ohio State
BUZZ: Wells was a backup as a true freshman, then started as a sophomore and junior for the Buckeyes before heading off to the NFL a year early. Wells finished his career with 3,382 yards and 30 TDs in 36 games. Wells was a first-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals and finished his rookie season with 793 yards and seven TDs while sharing time with Tim Hightower.
4. DT Gerald McCoy, Oklahoma
BUZZ: McCoy redshirted as a true freshman, then became a key three-year starter for the Sooners, earning All-America honors this season. He will bypass his senior season and is expected to be a top-10 pick in the 2010 NFL draft. He had 34 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, six sacks and 10 quarterback hurries this season; he finished his career with 83 tackles, 33 tackles for loss, 14.5 sacks, 18 quarterback hurries, four pass breakups and two forced fumbles.
5. LB Sergio Kindle, Texas
BUZZ: Kindle was moved to defensive end full-time as a senior this season and responded with some solid football. He had 58 tackles, six sacks, 15 tackles for loss, nine quarterback hurries, two forced fumbles and two pass breakups. He was a backup linebacker as a true freshman and sophomore, then emerged as a starter at linebacker and end as a junior in 2008. He finished his career with 151 tackles, 16.5 sacks, 33.5 tackles for loss, 17 quarterback hurries, five pass breakups, three forced fumbles and a blocked kick.
6. QB Matthew Stafford, Georgia
BUZZ: Stafford left Georgia after his junior season and was the No. 1 pick in the 2009 NFL draft by the Detroit Lions. He was a part-time starter as a freshman at UGA, then became the full-time starter in his final two seasons with the Bulldogs. He threw for 7,731 yards -- with 51 touchdowns and 33 interceptions -- in his career.
7. WR Vidal Hazelton, USC
BUZZ: Hazelton sat out this season as a transfer at Cincinnati after leaving USC. He caught one pass as a true freshman in 2006, then had a 50-catch, 540-yard, four-TD season in 2007. But he had just six receptions in an injury-plagued season in 2008 and decided to transfer. He will go into spring practice as a leading contender to win the starting spot vacated by Mardy Gilyard.
8. RB C.J. Spiller, Clemson
BUZZ: Spiller finished his career this season. In the process, he set an NCAA career record with seven kickoff-return touchdowns. He ran for 1,212 yards and 12 TDs as a senior, his only season as a full-time starter. Spiller shared starting duties with James Davis in his first three seasons. He finished his career with 3,547 rushing yards and 32 rushing touchdowns. For his career, he also had 11 touchdown receptions, threw two touchdown passes and returned a punt for a score. Spiller had 7,588 all-purpose yards in four seasons, second-most in NCAA history.
9. LB Allen Bradford, USC
BUZZ: Bradford has played running back for the Trojans since he arrived on campus. He played sparingly as a true freshman in 2006 and as a sophomore in '07, rushing for a combined 66 yards and two TDs. He redshirted in 2008, then became a part-time starter this season, finishing with 668 yards and eight touchdowns. Bradford will be a contender for the starting job in 2010.
10. QB Mitch Mustain, Arkansas
BUZZ: Mustain transferred to USC after his freshman season with the Razorbacks. He played in just two games this season and did not attempt a pass. He was 11-of-16 for 157 yards, with two TDs and two picks, as a backup to Mark Sanchez as a sophomore in 2008. He started eight games as a true freshman at Arkansas in 2006, throwing for 894 yards, with 10 touchdowns and nine interceptions; he left for USC after the season. He is expected to be the No. 2 quarterback for the Trojans, behind Matt Barkley, in 2010.
11. OT Sam Young, Notre Dame
BUZZ: He started all 50 games of his Irish career, which is a school record for career starts. Forty of his starts were at right tackle.
12. SS Myron Rolle, Florida State
BUZZ: Rolle graduated in three years and was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship; he spent the 2009 season studying at Oxford. He was a three-year starter for the Seminoles, finishing his career with 206 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, one interception, 12 pass breakups and a forced fumble. Rolle expects to be selected in this year's NFL draft, and he has said his eventual goal is to become a surgeon.
13. LB Brandon Spikes, Florida
BUZZ: Spikes was a three-year starter at middle linebacker for the Gators. He had 68 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions this season, and finished his career with 307 tackles, 6.5 sacks, 31.5 tackles for loss, six interceptions (four returned for TDs), 14 pass breakups, eight quarterback hurries and two forced fumbles.
14. FS Reshad Jones, Georgia
BUZZ: Jones had 73 tackles, four interceptions and seven pass breakups this season as a fourth-year junior, and he decided to bypass his senior season and turn pro. For his career, Jones had 206 tackles, 11 picks, 10 tackles for loss, 13 pass breakups and one forced fumble. He redshirted as a true freshman, was a part-time starter as a redshirt freshman and a full-time starter in his final two seasons with the Bulldogs.
15. LB Brandon Graham, Michigan
BUZZ: Graham, who played defensive end at Michigan, finished his career this season as the No. 2 guy in school history in sacks (29.5) and tackles for loss (56). He was the Wolverines' MVP as a junior and senior, becoming the first defender in school history to twice be named the team MVP. He played sparingly as a true freshman, was a part-time starter as a sophomore and a full-time starter in his last two seasons. He finished with 134 tackles, eight forced fumbles, three pass breakups and two blocked kicks.
16. FS Taylor Mays, USC
BUZZ: Mays was a four-year starter for the Trojans and gained acclaim as one of the nation's best free safeties during his career. He had 96 tackles, one interception and three pass breakups this season, and finished his time at USC with 276 tackles, five picks, 21 pass breakups and a forced fumble. He is likely to be a first-round pick in June's NFL draft, and some analysts think he could be moved to linebacker.
17. DE Robert Rose, Ohio State
BUZZ: Rose started four games in his career and missed his final college game -- this season's Rose Bowl -- because of a suspension. He dealt with shoulder issues at times and finished his career with 31 tackles, 7.5 sacks and 11 tackles for loss.
18. RB Stafon Johnson, USC
BUZZ: Johnson's 2009 season ended after a freak weightlifting accident on Sept. 28; the bar and weights (about 275 pounds) slipped from his hands and landed on his throat, necessitating seven hours of emergency surgery to repair his vocal chords, Adam's apple and torn throat muscles. He could've redshirted but instead decided to pro. He finished his USC career with 1,552 yards and 19 TDs; five of the TDs came in the first four games this season. He was a part-time starter in 2007 and '08 after getting just three carries as a true freshman in '06.
19. CB A.J. Wallace, Penn State
BUZZ: Wallace was a part-time starter as a sophomore and junior before winning a starting job as a senior this season. He led the Nittany Lions with three interceptions and added 36 tackles and three pass breakups. Wallace finished his career with 99 tackles, four interceptions and nine pass breakups.
20. DT Al Woods, LSU
BUZZ: Woods was a starter as a senior after serving as a backup in his first three seasons with the Tigers. He had 33 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss and a sack this season, and finished his career with 73 tackles, 3.5 sacks, eight tackles for loss and a blocked kick.
21. DE Ricky Sapp, Clemson
BUZZ: Sapp was a key backup as a true freshman, then was a three-year starter for the Tigers. He had 55 tackles, five sacks, 14 tackles for loss and seven quarterback hurries this season. Sapp finished his career with 142 tackles, 17.5 sacks, 38 tackles for loss, four forced fumbles and 16 quarterback hurries.
22. QB Tim Tebow, Florida
BUZZ: He finished his career as one of the most accomplished players in college history. He won the Heisman in 2007 as a sophomore, his first season as the Gators' starter. He finished his career with 9,285 passing yards, 2,947 rushing yards, 88 passing TDs and 57 rushing TDs. He is fourth all-time in touchdowns accounted for and second all-time in career passing efficiency.
23. RB C.J. Gable, USC
BUZZ: Gable played in 12 games this season but carried just 24 times for 102 yards, an extremely disappointing season. He started five times and played in all 13 games as a true freshman, finishing with 434 yards and five TDs. He redshirted in 2007 after suffering an early season abdomen injury that required surgery. Gable had a strong sophomore campaign in 2008, rushing for 617 yards and eight TDs and starting 11 times. Gable fell out of favor with the previous coaching staff, to the point that he was considering turning pro, but he is expected to go into spring practice as one of the top candidates for the starting job.
24. TE Brandon Warren, Florida State
BUZZ: Warren has had a checkered college career. He played extensively as a true freshman in 2006, being named to the ACC's all-freshman team after a season in which he had 28 catches for 301 yards and a touchdown. He transferred home to Tennessee and sat out the 2007 season. He played sparingly as a Vol in 2008, finishing the season with 10 receptions, then was booted off the team by coach Lane Kiffin in October 2009. He had seven catches for 54 yards and two TDs before his dismissal. He told the Knoxville (Tenn.) News Sentinel last month that he would like to play for the Vols again now that Kiffin is gone.
25. DE Eddie Jones, Texas
BUZZ: He redshirted as a true freshman and has been a reserve in each of the past three seasons. He has 57 career tackles, 7.5 sacks, 14 tackles for loss and two interceptions. He had 21 tackles and five sacks this season and will have a chance to win a starting job during spring ball; at the least, he will be a key reserve as a senior in 2010.
26. OL Stephen Schilling, Michigan
BUZZ: Schilling, who redshirted as a freshman, is a three-year starter for the Wolverines. He started at tackle in 2007 and '08 before moving to guard this season. He should be one of the best guards in the Big Ten in 2010 and could contend for All-America honors.
27. RB James Aldridge, Notre Dame
BUZZ: Aldridge barely played as a senior this season, rushing six times for 17 yards. He finished his career with 979 yards -- including two 100-yard games -- and three touchdowns.
28. T Carl Johnson, Florida
BUZZ: He started for the second season in a row for the Gators; he was a guard in 2008 and began this season at left tackle before moving inside again. He's expected to start at guard as a fifth-year senior in 2010.

Washington's struggles away from home continued against the Rangers in a 3-2 loss, their 18th loss in 27 road games this season.
"Everybody plays better at home," Washington coach Dale Hunter said. "Everyone's home record is better because you are in our building and you have the fans behind you. Our special teams aren't good enough on the road. If you look at our stats, they are way down on the road. At home, we are one of the best power-play and one of the best penalty-killing teams. We've got to work on the road on our special teams."
That may be true, but no NHL club has a wider gap in results depending on the game's location than the Capitals. Washington is 19-7-2 at home, which is the fourth-best mark in the NHL. The Capitals are also 9-15-3 on the road, and that ranks 26th.
No other team in the League has a bigger discrepancy between those two rankings.
Habs excited to see Gomez break droughtBrian Compton - NHL.com Deputy Managing Editor
Scott Gomez has played alongside far too many legendary players in his career to not know how to carry himself when things aren't going well.
There were only two power plays for each team in this contest, and it ended up a one-goal defeat. The critical goal came for the Rangers while shorthanded, so there was a problem on special teams.
A bigger issue for the Capitals is how little offense they generated before the shorthanded goal that put them down 3-1. Once in desperation mode, they controlled the puck and created chances.
Before that, there were few prolonged sequences in the offensive zone and few tough saves for New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist to make.
The Capitals played well last Sunday against Boston after the Bruins had a commanding four-goal lead. They played well for most of the game Tuesday against the Florida Panthers, in part because they went ahead 13 seconds in and had a two-goal advantage midway through the first period.
It is when they don't grab a lead, especially on the road, that the problems occur.
"It seems we get more leads at home than we get on the road," Hunter said. "We got jumped on again today early. Games are hard to come by after they get a lead on you."
Washington has 27 games left, and 14 are away from home. The Capitals are chasing the Florida Panthers for the top spot on the Southeast Division, and the loser might not eke into the postseason as the eighth seed at this point.
The home schedule is pretty manageable. There are only three games against teams in the top 12 of the League standings as of Sunday afternoon.
Away from the Verizon Center, the slate is much more challenging. Washington has seven of those 14 games against the top 12, including two visits to Boston and a four-game trip to Winnipeg, Chicago, Detroit and Philadelphia.
After a home game Monday against San Jose, the Capitals embark on a four-game trek to Florida, Tampa Bay, Carolina and Ottawa. Given how tough the road schedule is after that, it could be a make-or-break trip for Washington.
The team with the worst road record since the advent of the shootout was the Calgary Flames in 2005-06. They went 13-20-8 (34 points). The Capitals are currently on pass for less than 32.
"We're aware of our road record," Laich said. "Pretty much everybody wins at home. If you're going to make up ground in the standings, it has got to be by winning on the road. I don't know what to say.
"Guys played hard and we're there at the end. There's been a lot one-goal games just falling short for whatever reason that we couldn't find a way."
They need to find it soon, or a four-year reign atop the Southeast Division, and even their place among the top eight in the conference, could be in jeopardy.

The life story of actress Mia Farrow is told in this made-for-television movie. Patsy Kensit portrays Farrow, whose life took many interesting turns, from her rise to stardom while starring in Peyton Place to her rocky marriage to Frank Sinatra. The film also explores her later years with director Woody Allen, including their adoption of needy children and the subsequent scandal surrounding Allen and their kids. ~ Bernadette McCallion, Rovi

A cupcake,
cloying as can be.
Sweet it did seem to me.
Bite I did.
So swwet that it made me queasy,
eating it was not easy.
Down a lump in my throat,
with an aftertaste so sour.
There is only one bite left to take.
My cupcake,what foulness within did you bake?

Same with Nick, CA rocks!, so diverse.
I only take backpacking trips in PA in the Spring or Fall. Basically I'm looking for temperatures in the range 20 degrees - 70 degrees. Much above or below that and I'm not going to go.I avoid the summers because of the humidity and bugs. I may try going out in the winter sometime but haven't yet.Maybe I need to move to CA...
I would say yes I will, I want to do more this season in Colorado. I just learned winter camping last year..and I snowshoe. I was doing winter hut trips before.
Yup, all year round, BUT, I live in a part of the world where we can choose our winter destinations so we end up at a hut with some kind of heating. Aside from having a warm-ish place to sleep, it makes hanging out on long winter nights much more enjoyable. Hitting the sack at 5pm and not getting up until 7-8am really sucks IMHO, unless you can start and keep a good fire going.
"Hitting the sack at 5pm and not getting up until 7-8am really sucks IMHO"Okay, maybe the sun rises at 8AM and sets at 4PM but you get an hour of dawn and dusk at each end, and maybe build a fire and stay up for another couple hours - so that's 12 hours. And then read a book with flashlight for a couple hours or look at stars...
"Okay, maybe the sun rises at 8AM and sets at 4PM but you get an hour of dawn and dusk at each end, and maybe build a fire and stay up for another couple hours - so that's 12 hours. And then read a book with flashlight for a couple hours or look at stars..."Depends on what you are doing during those hours of dusk and dawn. They are often the coldest, and the only way to keep warm is zipped up in your bag. Often it is too cold to even have your arms out to read a book, at least that has been my experience.And a fire is great, if you can start one. A lot of our trips end above bushline, or in wet snow. Not the easiest places to get a good fire going. However, if you are going to be below bushline and not a lot of snow around (and everything isn't soaking wet), then that is a nice option. However, there is also another really good reason, at least for me, to only stay in huts in the winter. No winter tent, no winter sleeping mat (so much lighter pack), and no worries about boots, fuel and water bottle freezing. Plus I find it almost impossible to get comfortable enough to read while sitting or lying in a tent. I don't mind some degree of discomfort, but with winter camping I draw the line. By drawing this line I can hike 12 months of the year without making excuses to NOT go, but, as I said, not everyone has a choice of winter friendly huts to aim for.
As most of my past trips have been in Ireland and the Uk and France, I have never lit a fire in the mountains, but on a trip last week in Colorado the spot we camped at the first night had a fire circle of we got one going.
Yes all year round. Where I live in New Zealand allows me to choose snow free trips by staying low or tramping higher to the bushline and above for a walk in the snow. The New Zealand tramping hut network allows an incredible amount of flexibility for trip planning and pretty comfortable accommodation during foul weather, not to mention lighter packs!. For some reason even the most popular huts during summer are nearly always empty during the colder months ;)
Year round as CA (like the others have said) has great locations...coastal or Sierra. Though I tend to snowshoe more in the winter and snow camp
Sounds like I might bump into Barry one of these winters...as a rule, we tend to avoid huts outside of the coldest winter huts, as I am generally not fond of sharing my 'sleeping space' with other. But like Barry says, more often than not we are likely to find no one else in these huts, especially if they require walking through snow to get to. There are some local, lowland, huts that are popular year around, but we never stay in those.
We enjoy backpacking with our kids every month of the year here in California. For the last two years we managed to backpack with them almost every other weekend and take them on the JMT in the summer.During the winter we enjoy Henry Coe or going to the hot springs in Big Sur. During the summer we love to backpack in the Sierra. Spring and fall we frequent local parks and camp there - Castle Rock, Pescadero, Sunol, Angel Island, Mt. Tam, Mt. Diablo, etc - last weekend we hiked a 19 mile loop at Point Reyes, visited Alamere Falls and spent a great night at Wildcat camp. Manfred
Right from my house. I live a 5 minute walk from FS roads, so I can go anytime. I've been collecting stoves the last three years almost, so I have to get out to use them. I've done a few Kalifornia coast trips with some of the group I've been with for 8 years now. We've also done a few car camping trips with good turn outs, having lots of fun. We all prefer nice weather, but we've been out in snow, blowing snow, rain and sub-zero temps. It is getting harder to keep the group together, life gets in the way/happens. This will be two years in a row that I have gotten out at least one time for a bp trip. I don't get out as much as Snownymph did in her hayday.Duane
This folk do.
I'm out at least once a month year round. Typically on the North Shore of Minnesota.
Hi folks,Thanks all for replying.I am looking forward to winter myself.Cheers,Stephen
Yep, we go year round. We have a pretty narrow definition of favorable conditions: NO BUGS and temps between ~25 and 80 FOur regular US destinations:Central Coastal California (Point Reyes to Big Sur) - October through May (too hot in summer)Southern Sierra Nevada (Mono Recesses to Cottonwood Pass) - mid-August through early-October Southern Utah - April/May and Sept/OctAnd overseas destinations:UK - April-June (before UK schools go on holiday; before midges in Scotland) France/Spain low elevations - April-MayPyrenees - July-AugustAustralia (New South Wales) - Sept-OctTurkey - April-May
I could backpack year-round, but I find that I don't much. Cold-weather wimp; don't like the very long nights. And there are so many other fun things to fit into the year - road biking, trail running, open water swimming just to list some of the outdoor ones.So I switch interests by season. August is top backpacking month because it has the ideal combo of: Snow melted; days still long; nights still warm; mosquitoes gone.Winter is for trail-running in the rain. And indoor projects. And good novels. And repairing stuff in anticipation of summer backpacking season ;)- Elizabeth

Hi guys,
My final year project is to automate the
process which is done for an application. I did a research and found that combination of
, Clover and
shall be used to make the automated testing process going. I use Eclipse as my IDE. Clover is a proprietary software and I want you to suggest a code coverage analysis tool that is an an open source which can be used with both JUnit and Ant on Eclipse IDE. The technology should also be simple to use even by a novice (I am a novice to all these technologies).
PS: The application is built on
Thanks in advance

Thanks Jeanne for your reply
I went through some of the FAQ's about Emma. It is stated that
"Independently of any user-provided instrumentation filters, EMMA always excludes the following from coverage:
1. Methods that have no executable
bytecode: abstract methods, native methods;
2. Java interface classes (even though they may have executable static initializers).
Additionally, the following types of methods are excluded by default, but can be included by setting the appropriate instrumentation property:
1. Methods marked as Synthetic by the compiler: these are usually "helper" methods needed by the compiler to implement certain Java Language constructs like inner class access, etc. These methods have no user-provided code.
2. Bridge methods created by Java 1.5 compilers to graft new language features on the existing class format."
Is that a disadvantage in using Emma?

The default behavior gives you less "noise" in the reports. If you really want it, you can turn it on though. So I wouldn't see it as a disadvantage since it is under your control.

This is a wonderful article to start with. I did created the directory structure and placed files like in the example
projectname/ src/ com/ example/ class1.java class2.java class3.java target/ classes/ com/ example/ class1.class class2.class class3.class lib/ emma/ emma.jar emma_ant.jar build.xml
I put two simple java files and its respective JUnit test cases along with the same files
I created a build.xml file with just copy pasting the targets from the above link. I copied just the following:
<!-- ====================================================================== --> <!-- EMMA SETUP --> <!-- ====================================================================== --> <property name="coverage.dir" value="${basedir}/reports/emma" /> <!-- directory which emma coverage reports will be written to --> <property name="instr.dir" value="${basedir}/target/emmainstr" /> <!-- directory which emma instrumentation classes will be written to --> <property name="emma.dir" value="${basedir}/lib/emma" /> <!-- directory that contains emma.jar and emma_ant.jar --> <!-- Set emma.lib to refer to the list of EMMA jar files --> <path id="emma.lib" > <fileset dir="${emma.dir}"> <include name="*.jar"/> </fileset> </path> <!-- Define which classes will be reported in the coverage reports (by default, we will include all classes and assume --> <!-- that your project's output folder is target/classes --> <path id="emma.coverage.classes" > <pathelement location="target/classes" /> </path> <!-- Load <emma> and <emmajava> custom tasks so that they can be used in ANT --> <taskdef resource="emma_ant.properties" classpathref="emma.lib" /> <target name="all" depends="emma, clean, update, compile1, compile2, compile3, test, jar"/> <!-- Enable Emma --> <target name="emma" description="turns on EMMA's instrumentation/reporting" > <property name="emma.enabled" value="true" /> <!-- EMMA instr class output directory (it is important to create this property only when EMMA is enabled) --> <mkdir dir="${instr.dir}" /> <!-- this property, if overriden via -Demma.filter=<list of filter specs> on ANT's command line, will set the coverage filter; by default, all classes found in 'emma.coverage.classes' pathref will be instrumented: --> <property name="emma.filter" value="" /> </target> <!-- ======================================================================= --> <!-- EMMA INSTRUMENTATION --> <!-- ======================================================================= --> <!-- Instrument the classes, this takes the normal classes, and makes instrumented classes instead --> <!-- Note that EMMA takes regular ANT path elements as instrumentation input, which is exceedingly convenient --> <emma enabled="${emma.enabled}" > <instr instrpathref="emma.coverage.classes" destdir="${instr.dir}" metadatafile="${coverage.dir}/metadata.emma" merge="true" > <filter value="${emma.filter}" /> </instr> </emma>
I didn't added anything to the build file. When I run the build file I get the following message:
C:\projectname&amp;gt;ant Buildfile: build.xml BUILD FAILED C:\projectname\build.xml:5: Unexpected element &amp;quot;{}property&amp;quot; {antlib:org.apache.tools.ant}property Total time: 0 seconds
I placed my project in C:\ . What is the thing that went wrong. Since, I am starting with these only now, I cannot figure it out. Where should I place the test codes of JUnit, I mean how the emma task will identify JUnit test code from the actual code (I placed both together in the

Kindly help me on this problem.

The first step in debugging is to determine exactly what is failing. I suspect it is the part where you import the taskdef. One way to find out is to remove everything after that and see if it still fails. Also, try outputting the path right before the failure to see if it looks right on your machine. or try hard coding the absolute path of the jar.

Hi Jeane,
I was able to correct that mistake and my build was successful. But as stated in that example, folders were created, but the instrumented class files and the METADATA file are not generated. I post the build script here:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <project name="project" default="emma.instrument"> <property name="coverage.dir" value="${basedir}/reports/emma" /> <property name="instr.dir" value="${basedir}/target/emmainstr" /> <property name="emma.dir" value="${basedir}/lib/emma" /> <path id="emma.lib" > <fileset dir="${emma.dir}"> <include name="*.jar"/> </fileset> </path> <path id="emma.coverage.classes" > <pathelement location="target/classes" /> </path> <taskdef resource="emma_ant.properties" classpathref="emma.lib" /> <target name="emma.instrument" description="turns on EMMA's instrumentation/reporting" > <property name="emma.enabled" value="true" /> <mkdir dir="${instr.dir}" /> <property name="emma.filter" value="" /> <mkdir dir="reports\emma" /> <emma enabled="${emma.enabled}" > <instr instrpathref="emma.coverage.classes" destdir="${instr.dir}" metadatafile="${coverage.dir}/metadata.emma" merge="true" > <filter value="${emma.filter}" /> </instr> </emma> </target> </project>
I get the following output:
C:\projectname>ant Buildfile: build.xml emma.instrument: [mkdir] Created dir: C:\projectname\target\emmainstr [mkdir] Created dir: C:\projectname\reports\emma [instr] processing instrumentation path ... [instr] instrumentation path processed in 47 ms [instr] [0 class(es) instrumented, 0 resource(s) copied] [instr] no output created: metadata is empty BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 0 seconds
what kind of alteration should I do in order to generate those files?

I also post the actual code. To begin with, I just coded a small sample program which computes sum, difference and product:
import java.io.*; class HelloMaths { public long i,j,k,l,m,n; private long a; public long sumMaths(long i,long j) { a=i+j; return a; } public long subMaths(long k, long l) { a=k-l; return a; } public long mulMaths(long m,long n) { a=m*n; return a; } public static void main(String[] args) { HelloMaths ob = new HelloMaths(); System.out.println(ob.sumMaths(12, 43)); System.out.println(ob.subMaths(12, 43)); System.out.println(ob.mulMaths(12, 43)); } }
I also wrote a JUnit testcode for this file which also lies in the same directory

The three of us stand outside his doorway, armed with a Chemex coffee maker, a scale, a blender, and Filadelfo Juarez's Zingerman's-roasted coffee tucked away in our bag. I'm with Patrick and Martir, members of the Unión MicroFinanza team in Honduras, and we're about to have a cup of coffee with Filadelfo Juarez.
Filadelfo, or Fito, works for the public schools in the area of La Unión, Lempira, Honduras. He was an elementary teacher for eleven years and now holds an administrative position. He also grows coffee. Good coffee. He owns a small amount of land outside of town and harvests it during the school break. That means that during his vacation, he's up at 5, kisses his wife and two young kids goodbye, piles coffee pickers into his truck, and drives up through the lush mountains to his fields. We are at his house to give him some of the coffee picked last year, roasted by Zingerman's in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
He invites us into his home, with simple concrete walls, humble furnishings, and a telenovela playing on the TV in the background. His two children run up to greet us. All shake hands, exchange greetings, and then we tell him why we're here. We bought coffee from him last year, which means his hard work was rewarded with a fair price instead of the tragically low prices imposed on farmers here in Honduras. Moreover, his coffee was roasted and sold at a fantastic store in the United States, in Michigan.
That's when we pull out the bag, the 12-ounce brightly colored Zingerman's bag with Fito's name written across the front label. His face lights up as he gingerly takes the bag from Patrick, runs his fingers across his name, and asks us in Spanish, "This is my coffee?" Farmers in Honduras usually don't know where their coffee ends up in the world, let alone get to see it beautifully packaged with their own name right on the bag.
Fito's grinning, and we are too.
He calls his wife over to look at his coffee and they both touch it, ask more questions about it. Where exactly is it sold? This is the coffee we sold you last year? Bags just like this are sold in Michigan? I mention how his coffee was actually the coffee of the month at Zingerman's, and Patrick describes the sign in the store that says "Honduran Microlot: Filadelfo Juarez". We decide to prepare some coffee then and there, and Fito has the honor of opening the bag. He tears it open with a knife and smells it, inhaling deeply. He passes it to his wife so she can smell it too, and then they scoop some out in a spoon for their little girl. She stands on her tiptoes to smell her dad's roasted coffee. Still grinning, Fito says that it smells delicious.
The coffee most Hondurans drink is called café de bolsa, or coffee in a bag. It's pre-ground, very low quality, and devoid of flavor. This certainly doesn't smell like café de bolsa. Fito asks us about the roasting, and we describe the process at Zingerman's Coffee Company, the sophistication of the custom roaster, and the care with which they test and roast his coffee. Patrick translates the description on the bag: notes of tropical fruit, honeysuckle, and the bittersweet presence of grapefruit. Fito nods, agreeing that his land is known to produce a grapefruit flavor. My mouth begins to water.
We take out our equipment and start measuring the fresh coffee beans. We explain the process to Fito and his family as we run the beans through an old blender, our best replacement for a coffee grinder. His wife boils water on the stove in a tin pot, and when it's ready, we pour it over the small mountain of Fito's ground coffee in our Chemex. Everyone, everyone, leans in as the aroma drifts up from the Chemex. There are audible responses, and Fito and his wife exclaim in delight that it smells delicious.
As the last drops of coffee filter through, Fito's wife washes out some small teacups. She asks us if we want to add sugar and we surprise her by politely declining. Café de bolsa is always prepared with a lot of sugar, either to drown out any mucky, bitter taste or make up for a lack thereof. We assure her she doesn't need to add sugar to this coffee, and she pours it straight into the teacups.
Fito is first. He sips carefully and smiles, and then we give his wife the next cup. Our cups come next. I ask Fito what he thinks his coffee tastes like. Before he responds, his wife claims in surprise that the coffee isn't bitter at all, that it's remarkably smooth. We all agree. We acknowledge the floral hint of honeysuckle, giving the coffee a delicate sweetness. And then we turn to Fito for his response.
"Well, this isn't café de bolsa." Fito is chuckling, and we are too.
We stand around the kitchen, savoring what is surely the best coffee this household has ever had. We review the flavors, the grapefruit, the honeysuckle again, and over and over they mention how unbelievably smooth this coffee is. No sugar needed. We'll leave the rest of the coffee with Fito, so he and his family can continue to smell it, drink it, display it, enjoy it. I'm glad I tucked his coffee into my suitcase the day before I left; seeing Fito and his family's reaction to their own coffee, beautifully roasted and packaged and prepared, is a humbling experience.
We settle into the small patio outside, chatting as we sit on plastic chairs. Fito tells us about how he's going back to work in a week and describes this year's harvest. Instead of the gradual maturation of his coffee, all of it seems to have matured at once. While that means he gets to pick almost all of his coffee before returning to work, if rain comes in and delays coffee picking, his livelihood could be destroyed in a matter of days. The fragility of it all strikes me. It's especially powerful to process while I'm sitting in Fito's house, accepting coffee and fresh watermelon from his wife, watching his children play, realizing that much of this situation would be different and could be different due to a few days of rain, sun, or any other small and uncontrollable circumstance. Fito's hopeful that the weather will hold out. He's especially excited, too, because he claims that this year's harvest is going to be even better than last year's. I think of the amazing coffee we just shared with him and imagine the possibility.
I cannot wait for my next cup of coffee with Filadelfo Juarez.

Starting a Local Kidmin Network: Recruiting
Posted on 31. Oct, 2011 by Kenny.
Once you have two or three other people who are on board with your newly formed network, now it's time to start connecting with others. This part really is easier than you would think. I've found that kidmin folks generally do want to get together, too many just never really initiate. So now you just got to make the connections. Here is where I start.
Work connections – I try to find out who my pastor is already connected to locally. My pastor is pretty tight in a network of about 10 other churches in Austin. Once I found out what those churches were, I messaged the Children's Pastors of those churches to get the ball rolling. It's a lot easier making that first connection when you use the line "Our pastors network on a regular basis, so I thought it would be great if we connected." In addition to your pastor, maybe there are others from your staff that do some networking locally. Piggyback off of those relationships.
Work digital networks – Jump on sites like kidology or CM Connect and do searches based on region. Sometimes you'll find others near you and it's often a lot easier to connect through that medium than a random cold call out of left field. Search facebook and make sure there's not already a kidmin group in your area or something. Connecting with folks on these social networks might be a bit easier because the people using these are probably more prone toward connecting.
Connect with the obvious – Make a list of churches that you know of in your city. Think of churches that are active and influential. The advantage of this is that active and influential churches could help use their connections to bring more people to the group. Have those who you are networked with already come up with a list of as many churches that you already know of.… Read the rest

The Homeless Blogger: Things I'd tell the old me (Part 1)
Posted on 31. Oct, 2011 by Kenny.
I wrapped up my homeless blogging series about 10 days ago. It kind of didn't make sense to continue a "Homeless Blog" when my blog was back up and running without issue. However, I felt like I was really starting to get into a groove. Enough so, I started a little series as the homeless blogger called, "Things I'd tell the Old Me." The idea is that if I had a time machine and if I could go back in time, what would I tell the me 10-15 years ago.
Obviously, that isn't going to happen, but the effort wouldn't be in vain. There are many people who are in the same exact situation that I'm in now and it would be good to tell my story to them. So, here we go with my "Things I'd tell the Old Me" on the Homeless blogger tour.
I begin with a post hosted by Ryan Frank. Many don't know that Ryan Frank and I go way back… maybe 8-9 years back when he had me come speak at his kids camp in IN (just a hint on how long ago this was… but Evan Doyle was just a 6th or 7th grade helper back then). Back to the post… My first message to myself is that I'd tell myself that you are far less important than you think you are. Even though we often serve in a ministry area that is lesser in importance in our churches, we tend to be very confident in the gifts we operate in. Don't be fooled, you're not that important. Yes, you play a very important part in the whole package deal, but don't let it go to your head. Read here for more on this line of thinking.… Read the rest

The Homeless Blogger: Kidmin Discipleship
Posted on 26. Oct, 2011 by Kenny.
Gina McClain is a great friend. I actually just got to have lunch with her and her husband along with some other really cool kidmin folks in Knoxville. While I was homeless, Gina graciously allowed me to post on her blog. Maybe I wasn't the most gracious guest, because I do feel that I wrote about a hot topic.
Basically, I've been spending a lot of time thinking about discipleship. Most of us in kidmin and student ministry have our "elements" that we call discipleship, but I'm wondering about how subjective the word "discipleship" really is. If Jesus set the example of what discipleship looks like, why do we call something we're doing in ministry discipleship when it really doesn't look much like what Jesus did at all. I'm sure I'll blog more about this soon, but for now, check out my Homeless Blogger post over at Gina's site.… Read the rest

The Homeless Blogger: Kidmin for Free
Posted on 26. Oct, 2011 by Kenny.
This post from the Homeless Blogger was hosted by my good friend and conference roommate, Matt McKee. Matt and I first met close to 10 years ago when he was at Fellowship Church in Dallas and I was in IN coming to Texas for a C3 conference. We've become good friends since then. So, it's only natural that he would host the next installment of the Homeless Blogger.
This post was fun to write because I feel that it touches on a sensitive topic. With digital resources and crowd sourcing projects, we've kind of come to expect certain products and services to be free. Honestly, I love free stuff just like anyone else. However, I think it's dangerous when we expect everything to be free… because in reality, everything costs something. Read the full article here.… Read the rest

Starting a local Kidmin network: Foundation
Posted on 26. Oct, 2011 by Kenny.
Every great thing has small beginnings it's no different with your Kidmin network. You have to build a great foundation for the network before it becomes that HUGE resource you're envisioning. Honestly it begins with just one or two relationships.
The first year I lived in Austin I only knew one other children's pastor. We connected every couple of months and shared ideas and just kept up with how each other was doing. The way we met was purely accidental. In my second year of living in Austin I ended up meeting and getting to know two other Children's pastors. After having a somewhat frequent relationship with three or four other children's pastors I decided to get things started. I sent out an email just asking if they would be interested in helping me start a larger network. It was a no brainier for all of them.
We met for lunch one day and discussed what we wanted the network to look like. We planned the meetings and scheduled when they would happen. We planed lunch meetings for five months and then started inviting other churches to be a part. Everyone participated in trying to reach out to one or two other churches. Most churches responded with great enthusiasm.
To be honest, starting this thing was easier than you would think. We've had meetings with as few as five or six people (that was because of bad planning) and as large as 35 to 40. At this point though we have about 55 people on our list, representing about 12-15 churches. We've really just begun… So many churches we haven't yet connected with.
So if there's not a network where you live, be that catalyst that gets one started. Reach out to one or two others and build a relationship there first.… Read the rest

The Homeless Blogger: Kidmin Heritage and Kidmin Soon-to-be
Posted on 25. Oct, 2011 by Kenny.
This installment of the Homeless Blogger was hosted by my new friend Brian (not Brain) Dollar. Brian and I both spoke at a conference in North Carolina where we met for the first time. I must admit that it's a total honor to know him now and I look forward to many more meetings and conversations in the future! Brian has a creative spin on the typical "kidmin" blog, so be sure to check it out!
In this post, I recounted a very interesting experience I had while at the Kidmin Conference in Chicago. While there, I had the opportunity to meet many Kidmin pros from the past. These were the men and women who have been leading in the world of kimin for 30+ years. My advantage? I spent a lot of time with Bro Jim Wideman and he know's all the long-termers. So, it was pretty cool to hear some stories about those days long gone. On the other end though, most of the new and up-and-coming movers and shakers in kidmin were present. It provided an interesting mix of Kidmin past and Kidmin future all in one space. Read the whole article here!… Read the rest

The Homeless Blogger: Gina McClain is my friend

This Homeless Blogger is graciously being hosted by my arch-nemesis, Dustin Nickerson. Dustin's a great guy, I've gotten to know him pretty well over the past few months and I like him a lot. You probably will too, so check out his blog here.
In this post I share some notes about one of the best general session speakers at Kidmin, my friend Gina McClain. She absolutely rocked it. She hit a rhythm pretty early on with many great points and some good laughs. However, near the end of her talk, you could have heard a pin drop and tears fell from many eyes as Gina pushed on a really sensitive topic. It was powerful, a message I intend to listen to more than once and you should too. Read more about this session at Kidmin here!… Read the rest

The Homeless Blogger: Conference Roommates
Posted on 24. Oct, 2011 by Kenny.
My third Homeless blogger post was generously hosted by my good friend Sam Luce. Sam Luce is one of my closest friends and a true partner in ministry. We have many things in common, but we've also been involved in many projects together. You can check out his killer blog right here!
In this post I wrote about conference roommates. I think I asked Sam to host this post because he's been my roommate on more occasions than you can imagine. We've shared a room at the Hampton Inn in Middle Tennessee for at least a dozen night over the past few years. Essentially this was a silly post about my other good friend Matt McKee and I sharing rooms at Kidmin. Of all the speakers at Kidmin, I think that Matt and I were the only ones sharing a room. I wasn't being down on anyone else, but just took the opportunity to say that the conference experience is far too short and if at all possible, I never room alone. There's just too much to learn, share and experience. Read the whole post here.… Read the rest

Starting a local Kidmin Network
Posted on 24. Oct, 2011 by Kenny.
I believe that one of the most powerful things that we can do in ministry is to network and connect with others who do the same thing that we do. It's probably the best way that we can learn. Plus, it's always encouraging to be able to connect with someone and get help when you need it. For the past 4 years I've been actively connecting with ministry leaders from around the US and world and it has literally changed my approach to ministry. However, I've never been great at connecting on a local level. I've never had a good model of what that looks like. So, last year I launched a Kidmin Network here in Austin, TX.
This week I'm going to share my experiences of networking on a local level. The group in Austin has been a true blessing and I'm actually in the process of helping to launch a similar network in San Antonio (about 80 miles away). Plus, next week I'm gathering with local kidmin leaders in Memphis, Nashville and Knoxville, TN. Some of the same principles apply to these meetings in TN as they do for the groups I've started here in Texas. Stay tuned, it should be fun!… Read the rest

Lenzing To Sell Plastics Business Unit
Austria-based cellulosic fiber manufacturer Lenzing AG has announced it will sell 85 percent of its
shares in Lenzing Plastics GmbH to an Austria-based bidding consortium led by Invest AG, the
investment arm of the Raiffeisen Banking Group Upper Austria. The divestment is part of Lenzing
Group's strategy to focus on its core fiber manufacturing business, and is valued at nearly eight
multiples of the business unit's 2012 earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization (EBITDA), which totaled 11.8 million euros on sales of 109.4 million euros.
According to Lenzing CEO Peter Untersperger, the group's fiber business represents 90 percent of consolidated sales. "With this change of ownership we will enable the excellent company Lenzing Plastics to grow further and optimally exploit business opportunities under a new and experienced industrial owner," he said.
Lenzing Plastics will continue to operate at the Lenzing site and utilize infrastructure services located there.
"We see outstanding future and development potential in this high-tech Upper Austrian company, and consider Lenzing AG to be an excellent partner to further develop the company," said Heinrich Schaller, CEO, Raiffeisenlandesbank Upper Austria.
Consortium members include Invest AG, Beteiligungsgesellschaft m.b.H. & Co. OG, Tyrol Equity AG, Lenzing Plastics Managing Director Johann Huber and former Lenzing AG Management Board Member Christian Reisinger.
Subject to corporate and regulatory approvals, the sale is expected to close at the end of the second or beginning of the third quarter of 2013.

Sidewalks on FGCU's campus resemble San Francisco's famed Lombard Street.
Most people are familiar with the saying, "A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
A middle school student in an English class can grasp the idea - it doesn't matter what you call or name the flower, its smell, look and feel don't change. You would think reasoning would apply to the State Board of Education and the Legislature's recent push to refer to the Common Core State Standards as anything but what they are.
The term "Florida Standards" has been mostly used of late, but Common Core has been the name since standards were adopted by Florida in 2010 along with more than 40 other states. ...

"I'm not going to mention it tonight" Chad said as he handed me a shot "Tonight we have fun tomorrow security is increased for you and for Mir" I looked at him "Hear me out" he knocked back the drink and played with the glass "If that as is getting to her to try to get to you I'm not going to let it happen she's as good as family" He looked over where Ryan was holding out his hand "See intervention right there you know what Ryan's like about keeping our numbers private" I nodded and knocked back the drink for Dan to refill it. "I love you and he's not getting near you" Chad kissed me to the point of making my body want to melt.
"Dance" I heard Mir's Voice "Chad get your tongue from my best friends throat for a minute and let her dance" Chad pulled back and smiled at me
"Go on" he laughed
"Your dancing later" I got up and bent and kissed him again before taking another shot from Dan and knocking it back I ran my tongue over my lips as he watched me walked back from him
"Hey get your brain out of your pants for a minute" Dan laughed handing Chad another shot
"She's mine Dude" Chad smiled as he knocked glasses with Dan
"Yep" Dan nodded and looked to where we were pulling Page up to dance. Ryan walked over "Did she tell you who was on the phone" Dan looked at him
"The Russian" Ryan nodded "Mind you I wouldn't like to get on the bad side of Miranda she's a damn spitfire" he laughed as they all took another shot and picked up beers.
"Okay enough talk about my wife's fuck up of an ex" Chad stretched "Let's just blow off steam sleep all day tomorrow and kick ass on stage" the four of them all knocked bottles together.
The shots were defiantly helping keep the jet lag and the stress at bay, time to cut lose.
"Dare time" Mir grinned at me I lifted my glass and knocked it together with hers "And I think the newbie has to go first" Page looked at the two of us
'I have to do what?"
'Dare time" I grinned "it used to be truth or dare but we kinda know each other to well so it's just dumb dares"
"Hell the guys got Mike to bleach his hair a few months ago" Mir held out her hands
"Fine" Page sank another shot "what do I have to do?" I looked round and smiled I ran off the dance floor and grabbed Kerions hand
'I'm so not dancing Chris" He protested as Alfie grabbed the beer from his hand
"You're not dancing take off your shirt"
"LIKE HELL" He got wide eyed
"Page help us get his shirt off" I looked at her
"What are you guys doing?' Chad was laughing
"Starting off tonight's round of Dare with the Newbie" Mir laughed picking up the tequila bottle "Easing her in gently."
"As long as we're not dying hair again" Mike groaned
"Nope" I shook my head as we finally got Kerions shirt off I patted the bar
"She's doing a body shot off you that's all" I shrugged Kerion looked at Page who licked her lips at him.
"Okay" he hopped on the bar and lay down
"Hey when did you get a six pack?" Mir laughed poking Kerions shoulder as Chad and Mike helped a bright red Page up onto the bar and straddle Kerions' legs I grabbed a slice of Lime and put it in Kerions' mouth as Dan took the bottle of Tequila from Mir I put the salt on one of his nipples getting a groan of compliant from him which I ignored.
"Okay girl you're a tough assed Marine which makes you good to hang out with us anyway" Dan smiled "But if you love our little drummer here you need to make his night by taking the sexiest body shot off of him" Mir and I looked at Page who was looking like she was about to burst into flames with how red she was "Oh and we'll rate it" Chad looked at her
"He's not kidding we've all been rated on this" he laughed slipping his arms round my waist and holding me tightly to him
"Okay here we go" she lowered her head to Kerions stomach as Dan poured on the liquor, Her tongue licked up all of the liquid without a single drop running down his sides on to the bar he prowled over the top of him and flicked her tongue over his nipple taking the salt before nipping at it and then her mouth claimed his in a kiss that had us all looking away
'Wow okay well that just raised the damn bar" Alfie whistled "Hey you know you can get arrested for that" he slapped Kerion's hands that had found their way into the front of Page's Pants as she was over him. Page sat up laughing at the expression of pure lust on Kerions Face
'And that's how the Marines do it" She laughed
"OOHRAH" Corey and Danny both laughed helping her off the bar
"So I did mine now does that mean I get to say one?" Page grinned looking at us
"Hell yeah after that" Mike nodded
"Okay Chris Dare you to use that table to dance" she pointed to a table that had a pole running through the middle of it as Kerion handed me another shot "and then Chad has to do the body shot thing off you" I looked at Chad
"Oh Yes" Chad grinned I walked over to the table Dan held out his hand as I stepped up on to the top of it "Thank god Lukas ain't here" The music changed to 'Something in your mouth" as I started to move on the table "Talk about timing" He bit his lip as he watched me
'Okay this is wrong that's my sister-in-law up there" Mike laughed
"Close your eyes then" Chad didn't take his eyes from me "You know I'm getting thoughts for a new song"…………..

NASCAR driver, attorney general target teens' texting
May 22, 2012
By Staff
State Attorney General Rob McKenna and NASCAR driver Kasey Kahne teamed up May 1 to warn teenagers about the dangers of texting and driving.
In order to address the problem, the National Association of Attorneys General — led by McKenna — joined a national coalition to roll out public service announcements featuring Kahne, a Washington native. The coalition also includes the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Ad Council.
The spots marked a nationwide Stop the Texts Day and the start of National Youth Traffic Safety Month. Watch the PSAs at www.stoptextsstopwrecks.org.
Federal officials rank distracted driving as the No. 1 killer of teenagers in the United States. In 2010, more than 3,000 people died and another 416,000 sustained injuries due to texting and other forms of distracted driving.
"While teen drivers often feel invincible, the reality is that texting and driving too often leads to terrible injuries and even death," McKenna said in a statement. "No text message is worth risking your life or the lives of others. Texting while driving should be at least as socially unacceptable as driving without a seat belt."

Is it smart to have families on the Enterprise-D?

Re: Is it smart to have families on the Enterprise-D?
If you watch the episode "The Bonding", Picard and Troi have a conversation that pretty much answers any questions. Yes, it's a bit irresponsible to have families on a vessel that faces danger on a regular basis but, the galaxy is a dangerous place and no one can be totally safe at all times.

A crane prepares to launch a dredge and barge onto East Harbor in Danbury Township in this 2011 photo. What happens to dredged materials from shipping ports on Lake Erie, especially Toledo and Cleveland, has created some controversy in Ohio. The Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are looking for alternatives to disposing of dredged material instead of dumping it in Lake Erie.
- Filed Under
State and federal agencies are working to find ways to dispose of sediment dredged to keep Lake Erie ports open instead of dumping it in the lake, an official said.
To keep the eight Ohio ports on Lake Erie passable for cargo freighters, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers dredges sediments and silt that gradually deposit at river mouths, said Craig Butler, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency director.
All that muck has to go somewhere, and the Corps dumps some of it in the lake, a process often referred to as open-lake disposal. ...

Lots of restaurants in the Wine Country claim to seek out locally grown, organic ingredients, "whenever possible." And you can be sure many do make the effort. But that claim carries extra weight in Mendocino County, arguably the beating heart of the organic movement in the United States, where voters in 2004 made it the first county in the nation to outlaw the sale or use of genetically modified crops.
All this dedication to the locavore lifestyle is fully realized at Patrona, a stylish but not swank restaurant in downtown Ukiah, whose name means "patron saint." Chef and owner Craig Strattman is in contact with local farmers and growers who plant vegetables expressly for his restaurant. He doesn't use local, organic products "whenever possible." He makes sure it is possible.
"Local" doesn't have to mean right down the street, however. For instance, his Fried Calamari ($12, 4 stars) is sourced from Monterey Bay, but what he does with it is all his own and a fabulously different take on the batter-dipped fried calamari that is such a clich?at Italian restaurants. These calamari rings are fried to tender perfection and glazed with an orange-chili sauce that's sweet and sour and spicy all at the same time. What a treat.
Vegetarians will love this place, for Strattman lavishes his talents on the meatless dishes as much as plates for his carnivorous patrons. Do vegan tofu and quinoa enchiladas with a green chili cashew cream sound good? Or vegetarian crepes with kale, onions, mushrooms, and cotija cream? Or butternut squash ravioli with smoked ricotta, walnut brown butter, and balsamic? They and more await you.
With the d?or, Strattman has achieved what many restaurants strive for but few obtain: an exceptionally comfortable, pleasant and yet sophisticated style that welcomes you as it promises you'll be expertly cared for.
The east and west walls are exposed brick. The tables — freestanding and in booths — are natural wood. Our party sat at a four-top made from a three-foot-wide slab of California bay sawn from an ancient tree that had fallen nearby. The artwork on the walls is subtle and intriguing. The lights are low and the room cozy. A partition is topped with 10 huge cattle horns twisting upwards to form a natural sculpture. The full bar looks like the perfect place to relax and enjoy one of the restaurant's signature cocktails.
The wine list is stuffed with Mendocino's wines, but best of all, it carries Coro Mendocino wines at $60 each. Coro is Italian for chorus, and Coro Mendo is a consortium of 11 local winemakers who each year make a Zinfandel-based blend. A panel of three of the winemakers and two other experts then judge the wines on a pass/fail basis. Those that pass can label their blend as Coro Mendocino wine with their winery's name in smaller print. The 11 participants are Parducci, Pacific Star, Graziano, Golden, Eagle Point, Brutocao, Dunnewood, McDowell Valley, McNab Ridge, and Oracle Oaks. Each blend is different — although Zin dominates — and, having tasted through them all, I can vouch for their quality. Corkage is $12.
Patrona's menu is printed daily and includes specials, a nice touch as you can see the prices. Too often at too many restaurants, specials are recited tableside without prices which, when you get the check, can be steeper than you might have guessed.
On a recent night, Alsatian Chicken ($19 ?) was special in every way. There are a lot of ways to make Alsatian Chicken, usually involving Riesling wine, and here Strattman sautees a chicken breast in a pan, somehow retaining all its tenderness and juiciness, and then makes a supreme sauce of wine, chicken stock, roux, and a little lemon juice. Sauteed parsnips and carrots sounded a winter root-vegetable theme, and the plate included spaetzle to help sop up the yummy sauce.
Among the appetizers is a House Made Sausage Pizza ($7 small, $9 medium ) that could easily make a nice lunch all by itself. A thin-crust pizza is brushed with onion marmalade (what a fine idea!), then topped with olives, mushrooms, mozzarella and little morsels of sausage. There's a slight spiciness to the pie, too.

Grand View Lodge, The Pines
Nisswa, Minn.
July 9-12, 2001
Schmucker and Dahl tied for first in Girls Division
NISSWA, Minn. - Zack Miller of
San Rafael, Calif., raced to a 3-shot lead in the Boys
Division after carding an opening round 69 Tuesday at
the AJGA Compaq Junior Classic at the Pines. Amy Schmucker
of Cold Spring, Minn., and Erica Dahl of Fargo, N.D.
share the lead in the Girls Division at 5-over-par 77.
In its fifth year, the American Junior
Golf Association's Compaq Junior Classic at the Pines
features a field of 84 players representing 17 states
and Canada. 40 Minnesotans are competing in their home
state this week.
"I came out today just trying to put myself in
contention because you can't win it on the first day,"
Miller said of his opening round. "I came out and
hoped to be near the top of the leaderboard and go from
there the rest of the week."
The 17-year-old Miller used four birdies on the back
nine to wrap up the first round at 3-under par. Miller
has never finished better than fourth in 14 career AJGA
events. Citing the difficulty of the course, he said
he plans to continue to employ a conservative strategy
while seeking his first-career AJGA win.
"The course can really get you in trouble if you
hit bad tee-shots," the Californian said. "I
played it safe today and hit irons off the tee. I was
able to hit a lot of greens and my putts were dropping."
Kyle Nathan of Winnetka, Ill., sits in second place
in the Boys Division with an opening round of even-par
"I figured I had to play conservative and not
be too aggressive," Nathan said. "I was able
to stick to my game plan pretty well."
David Schultz of Fargo, N.D., is third after shooting
1-over-par 73, while Spencer Hutton of St. Cloud, Minn.,
and Charlie Ruppert of Minot, N.D., share fourth with
scores of 2-over-par 74.
In the Girls Division, Schmucker and Dahl both shot
opening rounds of 5-over-par 77 and stand tied for first.
Dahl said she will look to focus on her own performance
as the tournament continues.
"I'm not going to worry about (the rest of the
field)," the 17-year-old Dahl said. "I'm just
going to concentrate on my game. Tomorrow is just another
Schmucker admitted she was pleasantly surprised with
her score Tuesday.
"I had a tough time at the range this morning,"
Schmucker said. "I was thinking I'd go back to
the basics and scrap together something decent. So I
am pretty happy with a 77."
Three strokes off the lead in third is Agnes Kim of
Woodbury, Minn. Kim fired an opening round of 8-over-par
Second-round action gets underway Wednesday at Grand
View Lodge, The Pines with tee-times beginning at 7:30
a.m. For more information on the Compaq Junior Classic

The possibilities are endless when it comes to leftover turkey. Of course, sandwiches immediately come to mind for a lot of people. Others like to use the turkey with other leftovers such as mashed potatoes and vegetables in a shepherd's pie.
My preference is soup. The carcass of a leftover roast turkey makes the best broth and certainly is one of the best bases a person can find for soup.
I just put the finishing touches on a kettle of soup, a turkey wild rice version, complete with home-grown carrots, onion, celery and frozen peas. I seasoned the pot with ground savory, which I've found to be a great addition to any vegetable-type soup.
Here's my recipe, in case you still might have some leftover turkey.
Turkey Wild Rice Soup
2 cups cooked turkey, diced or chopped
½ cup wild rice, uncooked
8 cups broth
3 carrots, sliced thinly
2 stalks celery, diced
1 small onion, diced
1 cup frozen peas
2 teaspoons ground savory
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat broth and then add remaining ingredients. Bring to a boil then reduce heat and simmer for 1 to 2 hours.
Yield: Serves 10 to 12.

Does the plugin has support for the 1.7 branch of jquery? July 4, 2012 at 8:50 am #80504 DudeModerator Yes, I've tested AviaSlider with 1.7.2 now and it works. You can (easily) try it yourself – just uncompress the aviaslider files and the "html" demo folder and replace the jquery.js file with the latest version from here: http://jquery.com/ Author Posts Viewing 2 posts - 1 through 2 (of 2 total) The topic 'Avia slider' is closed to new replies.

New video sheds light on being gay and Mormon at BYU
Openness toward gays and lesbians seems to be on the rise at LDS Church-owned Brigham Young University.On Wednesday, students packed a BYU classroom in Provo to hear four gay and lesbian students describe their experience of being homosexual and Mormon.They described their early awareness of attractions, their inner conflicts and their hopes for the future, according to reports from The Student Review and bloggers, including Christopher Smith.Now, a new video features 22 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and straight BYU students talking about their stories of "pain and peace in dealing with homosexuality and membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," according to a release.The nine-minute video is part of the nationwide "It Gets Better" campaign, which hopes to show gay youths that they are not alone. The LDS-themed video was produced by Kendall Wilcox, a former BYU producer who is working on creating a dialogue among Mormons that is more empathic and constructive.The video's sponsor, USGA (Understanding Same-Gender Attraction) is "an unofficial group of Brigham Young University students, faculty, and friends," the release says, "who wish to strengthen families and the BYU community by providing a place for open, respectful discussions on the topic of same-gender attraction."It can be seen on YouTube.
