ATLANTA – Andrew Robinson Jr. of Dalton is seven times lucky this week. The lift truck operator received a huge lift when he played 7 Times Lucky and won the instant game's $100,000 top prize.
Mr. Robinson, 41, was headed to the golf course on Sunday (4/11) when he purchased the winning ticket. He scratched the ticket in the parking lot of the golf course while waiting for his friends to arrive. "I couldn't believe it," Mr. Robinson says. "I had to look at it several times before it really dawned on me that this was a winner."
When inclement weather kept his golfing buddies away, Mr. Robinson rushed to his girlfriend Phyllis for confirmation. He shares, "She just smiled and told me, 'Yeah, that's a winner.'"
According to Mr. Robinson, he is still deciding how to spend his winnings. "I'm just going to hold on to it for awhile and make a wise decision about what I'm going to do."
Mr. Robinson purchased the winning ticket at Beamer BP #0006, located at 3080 Hwy. 52 in Chatsworth.

Sure, you're an NBA player. You've got money, fame, access. You're a star athlete. Getting women is not exactly a problem. But there's a huge difference between many women and the right one. That's the quandary that apparently Sonny Weems is struggling with.
The Toronto Star has a fun little article Friday about Weems, who posted an internet plea for a girlfriend on Twitter, and was predictably thronged with a deluge of offers. Because, you know, a random girl that tweets the star athlete is probably a safe bet for "take-her-home-to-mom" girlfriend material:
"A lot of females come to you, and they tell you a story. 'I want to be your girl. I'm different from other females.' Or whatever. It happens all the time," Weems said. "Athletes really have it hard, trying to find that person. Who can you trust?"via Who wants to date Raptors' Sonny Weems? - Toronto Star.
"It's hard for us to trust (women), and it's probably hard for them to trust us, too," acknowledged Reggie Evans, the veteran Raptors forward who is married with children.
Why, then, would Weems, at age 24, bother seeking a relationship via Twitter? Evans wondered aloud if Weems has grown tired of being a soloist while one of his closest friends on the team, 21-year-old DeMar DeRozan, spends quality time with a steady girlfriend.
"DeMar's been having a girlfriend for a while — it's probably taking a toll on Sonny," Evans said, a mischievous smile ever in place. "He probably thinks he needs someone."
Amir Johnson, another of Weems' close friends on the squad, and a currently single one, said cruising the Internet is futile.
"Just my take: You can't search for your partner," said Johnson, 23. "You've just got to let it happen naturally. Eventually you'll find somebody."
So there you have it. Love advice from Amir Johnson, who averages 5.1 fouls per 36 minutes. But really, he's a lover, not a fighter.
It is good to see Weems at least being deliberate with his choice. Not that it's any of our business, but from the perspective of having seen so many players become entangled in ugly divorces after committing too soon to marriages made when young when the men are involved in lifestyles that are not conducive to committment. Trying to find the right person is a noble but difficult pursuit in that kind of environment.
Maybe someone should start a dating service for famous people. The Lakers could run it. After all, they're dating half the R&B stars of the 90's.

Marcia Kellotat and her husband, who died in 2009, moved from Los Angeles to Williard in 2002. Here is her story:
It was a perfectly ordinary day when my daughter, Dorian, called from California. She asked if I was sitting down and then told me she had breast cancer. She has a husband, three sons, many friends and a wonderful support system, but she wanted me there.
During the lumpectomy, my son-in-law and I kept vigil. The doctor was smiling when he finally joined us. He felt they had gotten it all. Two weeks later, more tests, more surgery. Again, it appeared that they had gotten it all. But more tests came back with more bad results, a pre-cancerous condition on the other side.
Dorian is the bravest person I know. This time her decision was to undergo a double mastectomy. The results came a week later. She was devastated, shocked, angry. We had the largest ice cream cones it was possible to buy on the way home from the doctor's office. It seemed like the only thing to do.
Then radiation and chemo and baldness. She developed lymphoma. All this time she was working except the days following chemo, when she was too sick too tired to move. Finally, the treatments were over and she was declared cancer-free.
Four years later tests showed abnormalities under her arm. More chemo. For the past several months test results have been in the normal range. We hold our breath.
At the beginning of this thing, it was all I could do not to burst into tears when the subject came up. This is my child my first-born and it isn't supposed to happen like this. She is supposed to avoid stress, but is in a stressful job, which she must keep in order to keep her health insurance. The meds have caused significant weight gain. The lymphoma is an ongoing problem. She has developed congestive heart failure. Dorian will be 56 on Christmas Eve.
You learn to cry when youre alone. You learn to live with fear. You cling to hope with all your power and you hate this disease with every ounce of energy you own.

Hi guys,
I've recently rebuilt my colour schemes package from the ground up to be better than ever! It now contains almost 100 colour schemes for various editors and tools.
Sublime Text has the best compatibility with my themes, since I use it from day to day. I have created a 'UI theme' for every included colour scheme. You can also mix and match code and UI themes. Here's an example of the 'Bold' UI and colour scheme combination.
The full set is available at : https://github.com/daylerees/colour-schemes .
Full previews are available here: http://daylerees.github.io/
If you like the themes, would you please do me the honor of 'star'ing the repository on github, and following me on twitter ( https://twitter.com/daylerees ) for updates.

Public bio
Held beneath the red rocks of Zion National Park, the international 4th Annual Red Rock Film Festival comes back in November of 2010 with more excellent programming that will both challenge and educate the mind. The Xtreme sports docs and off-the-charts dramatic features are just the accessories to the festival's staple of political documentaries and foreign film. The festival is just a 2 hour drive North of Las Vegas, and offers a breathtaking location to see film in the warm part of the state of Utah. The Red Rock Film Festival is among MovieMaker magazine's 2009 List of "25 Festivals Worth the Entry Fee." The festival offers a no "back-door" policy for their film competition, meaning there are no "pre-selected" films in the contest - all films entered into the competition, fill out an entry form, pay an entry fee and go through the extensive review process which includes notes on the film if the filmmaker request them. Filmmakers who enter early also receive a second chance to enter their film with changes! The festival's mission is to encourage the production of media in both the independent and professional market that portray the human race in a positive light, and to applaud original works that redefine media through innovation, creativity and sensitivity that both enlightens and educates audiences from around the world. All genres are considered from animation, documentaries, experimental and narrative fiction from 1 minute shorts to 2 1/2 hour full-length features.

Fuel saving tips to get the most out of your gas money
TULSA - If you're headed out of town for the Memorial Day weekend, or putting together your summer vacation plans, you'll need to budget for gas money.
We put together a list of tips to help you squeeze more distance out of a tank of gas.
Drive as if there's an egg under your foot, gradually accelerating from stops. Darting forward from stops, slamming on the brakes and other sudden speed changes can rob up to a third of your gas mileage.
Don't speed. Fuel consumption declines by 7 percent for every 5 mph over 60 mph. Each car has a different speed for maximum fuel economy, but it generally declines above 60 miles mph.
Keep your foot off the brake while accelerating. You'll reduce your gas consumption by as much as 35 percent.
Inflate tires as recommended by owner's manual. Under-inflated tires can reduce fuel efficiency by nearly 3 percent.
Replace air filters as recommended by manufacturer. A dirty one can cut gas mileage by up to 10 percent.
Tune up. This can improve mileage by up to 4 percent.
Check your gas cap to make sure it's secure and tightly sealed. Almost a fifth of cars -- 17 percent -- have missing or broken gas caps. Fixing this will improve efficiency by about 1 percent -- and will protect the environment from harmful fumes or spills.
Consolidate trips. Before you head out to the dry cleaners, check the fridge to see if you need more milk.
Get junk out of the trunk. Reducing excess weight.
Don't automatically turn on the air conditioner in warm weather. When driving at city speeds, keep windows open to save energy. At highway speeds, turn on air conditioning; open windows create drag, reducing efficiency.
For more fuel-saving tips and locations in Tulsa and around the state with the least expensive gas prices check out our Gas page on KJRH.com.

COSHOCTON - Maysville coach Pat Miller wanted his team to work the ball and find the best shot.
Though it took over four quarters for the message to stick, the Lady Panthers followed the orders when it mattered most.
They scored on five straight possessions in the extra session and downed New Philadelphia 62-50 in the Division II sectional at Coshocton High School Wednesday night.
"Our girls stepped up in overtime," Miller said. "I told them to be patient during the game, and they did a great job in overtime. They held the ball and executed the offense."
The Panthers improved to 15-6 and will face two-time defending state champion and top-seeded River View (20-1) in a rematch at 7 p.m. next Wednesday in the finals. Maysville handed the Bears their only loss in the first game of the season.
"They are a great program, and it will be a challenge for us," Miller said. "Our girls are looking forward to it, and I'm sure they are, too."
The chance to face River View again nearly slipped away as the Lady Quakers (12-10) scored four points in the final 30 seconds to force the extra session.
After Melanie Poorman scored on a pass from Kaylie Butler to make it 49-45 Maysville, Bre Shetler was fouled and knocked down both free throws to make it 49-47 with 30 seconds left.
The Lady Quakers then forced a turnover, and Chealyn Jackson connected on a jumper in the lane with eight seconds remaining to knot the contest at 49-49.
The Panthers had a chance to end the game in regulation, but Poorman's three-point attempt rimmed off as the buzzer sounded.
Even with the quick turnaround, Maysville responded in overtime, going 5-of-5 from the field.
Butler started the Panthers quickly as she grabbed the tip and found Haley Vallee for an easy two.
After a defensive stop, Katie Sidwell found Butler cutting through the lane for another hoop and the foul. After Butler's foul shot, the Panthers were up 54-49 with 2:35 left.
Sidwell came back with another hoop to push the lead to seven, and Poorman and Butler each added buckets to finish the contest.
The two squads battled in the first half. The Lady Panthers led by as many as six in the second quarter, but the Lady Quakers ended the first half on a 6-2 spurt to trail 28-26 at the break.
New Phila came out quick in the second half as Jackson scored six points during a 8-0 run to put the Quakers up 34-28.
Maysville kept it close as Vallee tied it up at 36-36 on a steal and layup. Sidwell came back on the next possession to put the Panthers up 38-36, but the Quakers tied it at 38-38 after three.
Butler's 19 paced the Panthers, who shot 26-of-50 (52 percent) from the field. Butler also tallied six assists and four steals.
Freshman Poorman chipped in 15 while Sidwell finished with 12 points and six of the team's 20 rebounds. Vallee added 10 points and Abby Miller had five boards and four steals.
Jackson scored a game-high 21 and Jeri Herron contributed 13 points for the Quakers.

Wolverines continue postseason success vs. N. Hills
TribLIVE Sports Videos
Woodland Hills and North Hills have a storied history, and they added another wild chapter Friday night.
This time, the No. 7 Wolverines used tough defense and an opportunistic offense to defeat No. 10 North Hills, 27-7, Friday in a Class AAAA first-round playoff game at The Wolvarena in Turtle Creek.
Woodland Hills (8-2) will meet No. 2 Gateway in the quarterfinals next week.
This marked the fifth postseason meeting between the Wolverines and Indians. Woodland Hills leads the series, 4-1. North Hills' lone victory came in 1993, the last season the Indians won a WPIAL championship.
This game was a closely contested defensive struggle mired with penalties and sloppy play. The teams combined for 19 penalties totaling 215 yards.
"It's always a tough game when you're playing North Hills," said Woodland Hills coach George Novak. "Coach (Jack) McCurry is one of the best coaches around. It was a lot closer than the score (indicates)."
Woodland Hills seemed primed to take control of the game in the second half. Woodland Hills' Jawan Turner recovered a North Hills fumble on the third play of the third quarter, setting up a 1-yard touchdown run by freshman Miles Sanders that gave the Wolverines a 14-0 lead.
On Woodland Hills' next possession, the Indians' Corey Bopp returned a fumble 28 yards to cut the lead to 14-7.
But the Woodland Hills defense stifled North Hills (6-4) for the remainder of the night. The Wolverines held the Indians to 73 total yards.
Woodland Hills was led by Sanders' 115 yards rushing.
"He's not a freshman anymore," Novak said. "He's a junior now — a junior in football. He's done a great job for us."
North Hills had a golden opportunity to strike first early in the second quarter. The Indians' Josh Hulbert recovered an Alex Beasley fumble to give North Hills the ball at the Woodland Hills 33. But the Indians lost nine yards and punted.
On the ensuing possession, Woodland Hills quarterback Cody McClelland hit Ryan Welsh on a 34-yard touchdown pass to give the Wolverines a 7-0 lead.
Woodland Hills will meet another familiar opponent in Gateway. Woodland Hills defeated the Gators, 10-0, to claim the 2009 WPIAL title.
"We still could get better," Novak said. "We still make a lot of mistakes. Now it's a mind game. All the teams are good. It's who figures out the other team."

MR. SHORTY Recorded by Marty Robbins Words and music by Marty Robbins
[C] Nobody knew where he [Am] came from [C] They only knew he came [Am] in [C] Slowly he walked to the [Am] end of the bar And he [Dm] ordered up one slug of [E7] gin Well, I could [Am] see that he wasn't a [Dm] large man I could [G] tell that he wasn't too [C] tall I [E7] judged him to be [Am] 'bout five-foot three And his [D] voice was a soft Texas [G] drawl.
Said he was needin' some wages 'Fore he could ride for the west Said he could do most all kind of work Said he could ride with the best; There in his blue eyes was sadness That comes from the need of a friend And tho' he tried, he still couldn't hide The loneliness there, deep within.
Said he would work thru the winter For thirty a month and his board I started to say where he might land a job When a fellow came in thru the door; And I could tell he was lookin' for trouble From the way that he came stompin' in He told me to leave Shorty there by himself Come down and wait on a man.
The eyes of the little man narrowed The smile disappeared from his face Gone was the friendliness that I had seen And a wild look of hate took its' place; But the big one continued to mock him And he told me that I'd better go Find him a couple of glasses of milk Then maybe Shorty would grow.
When the little man spoke, there was stillness He made sure that everyone heard Slowly he stepped away from the bar And I still remember these words; Oh! it's plain that you're lookin' for trouble Trouble's what I try to shun If that's what you want, then that's what you'll get 'Cause cowboy, we're both packin' guns.

Our inefficient federal government couldn't prepare an understandable website for the Affordable Care Act even though there was ample time to construct the site. Then, over last weekend, three geeks in California created the healthcare.gov sherpa to quickly allow users to access the information they need to determine the cost and benefits of various plans, which is exactly what participants want to know.
That is the problem with the huge federal bureaucracy. Rather than getting the work done quickly and with a minimal of cost, the federal government creates specifications for the job that effectively shut out smaller companies from the work.
Smaller contractors could have gotten the job done at a much lesser cost and with the information needed by potential participants.

I loved her as an actress but not so sure about her as a singer. Not strong enough. It is a nice song, but her voice isn't that great. =( Sorry. She is beautiful!
i love jamie spears she is my best singer and she has a lovely voise
i am a big fan of jamie spear i love jamie she has a lovely voice
First of all doesn't she look more like Carrie Underwood than Britney Spears? Second, she can definitely sing. Her voice is in tune. With more practice and in the right hand, she may end up better than her older sist.
Britney's voice is stronger than this though, you should see the videos where she's singing as a child.
I actually really like this song!

(CBS) Apparently, not everyone is a fan of royalty.
Pippa Middleton, the younger sister of Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, heard this for herself while speaking with a group of children during an event to promote her new party-planning book, "Celebrate."
Middleton, 29, was doing a craft project with youngsters at the event when she told a 6-year-old tomboy, "I bet when you're 10, you'll love pink and you'll love princesses."
That caused another little girl to state, matter-of-factly: "I hate princesses."
Middleton laughed off the remark and said, "I don't know about that one."
Her book, "Celebrate: A Year of British Festivities for Families and Friends," was released in the U.K. on Oct. 25 and will arrive on U.S. bookshelves Tuesday.

Republicans seek additional funding for Israel's Iron Dome missile system
US Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell says Republicans plan to introduce their own legislation that would provide additional funding for Israel's Iron Dome missile system, as the Zionist regime continues to massacre Palestinians in Gaza.
"Republicans are united in support of our ally Israel," McConnell, a Republican from Kentucky, said on the Senate floor Thursday. "We can help Israel defend its civilian population against indiscriminate attacks."
On Tuesday, US Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel sent a letter to congressional leadership requesting $225 million in additional US funding for the Iron Dome missile system.
The money would be in addition to the $351 million that's already under discussion for Iron Dome in fiscal 2015. It would bring total funding to $576 million, compared with the $176 million requested by the Pentagon for the year that begins on October 1.
"We have legislation that would allow Congress to meet the [Defense] Secretary's request," McConnell said. "And we hope our friends on the other side will join us in coming to a sensible, bipartisan solution that can be passed quickly."
Senate Appropriations Committee Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski on Wednesday introduced an emergency spending bill that included funding for the border crisis, Israel's Iron Dome system and wildfire relief. Republicans have pushed back against the border funding proposal.
In 2013, Congress allocated $235 million for the Iron Dome. And the Obama administration had requested about $176 million for the system for 2015, but the Senate panel doubled the amount.
A Congressional Research Service report in April said that the US had provided more than $700 million to Israel for Iron Dome. The latest bill would lift that to about $1 billion.
Israel already receives billions of dollars of American taxpayers' money each year. Under an existing 10-year aid agreement between Washington and Tel Aviv signed in 2007, $30 billion of American money is flowing to Israel.
The US annual military aid to Israel has been elevated from $2.4 billion to $3.1 billion through 2017 under the existing agreement.
Meanwhile, US and Israeli officials have discussed a surge in US military aid to Israel in a new aid package that would extend through 2027.

|The natural history of portal hypertensive gastropathy in patients with liver cirrhosis and mild portal hypertension.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 15447756 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: Portal hypertensive gastropathy is a potential cause of bleeding in patients with liver cirrhosis. Studies on its natural history have often included patients submitted to endoscopic or pharmacological treatment for portal hypertension. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A total of 222 cirrhotic patients with mild degree of portal hypertension (i.e., with no or small varices at entry, without previous gastrointestinal bleeding and medical, endoscopic, or angiographic treatment) were followed up with upper endoscopy every 12 months for 47 +/- 28 months. RESULTS: Upon enrollment 48 patients presented portal hypertensive gastropathy (43 mild and 5 severe) and the presence of esophageal varices was the only independent predictor of the presence of this gastric lesion at multivariate analysis. The incidence of portal hypertensive gastropathy was 3.0% (1.1-4.9%) at 1 yr and 24% (18.1-29.9%) at 3 yr, while the progression was 3% (1-6.9%) at 1 yr and 14% (4.2-23.8%) at 3 yr. The presence of esophageal varices and the Child-Pugh class B or C at enrollment were predictive of the incidence of portal hypertensive gastropathy, while only Child-Pugh class B or C was correlated with the progression from mild to severe, at multivariate analysis. During follow-up 16 patients bled from portal hypertensive gastropathy (9 acutely and 7 chronically) and one patient died of exsanguination from this lesion. CONCLUSIONS: The natural history of portal hypertensive gastropathy is significantly influenced by the severity of liver disease and severity of portal hypertension. Acute bleeding from portal hypertensive gastropathy is infrequent but may be severe.

Robin Good & His Not So Merry Men is the first Veggie Tales DVD which the kids and I have watched. I was thrilled to receive a copy of this DVD to review along with some Veggie Bandages. The DVD came in handy in teaching the kids more about the grace of GOD during this lenten season.
Newly released in March 2012 for Easter this DVD features Robin Good "aka Larry the Cucumber" who fund raise from the rich so he can give to the poor. A greedy Prince starts stealing the townspeople's hams, donations are down and Robin's band of merry men desert him to give robbing a try. Can Robin overcome his hurt, show his friends what's right and restore the townspeople's of Betlingham hope? What do you think can he do it?
My take on the DVD
We really enjoyed watching Robin Good together with the bonus features of another great story about Lenny & the Lost Birthday.
Lenny was upset as he thought everyone had forgotten his birthday on March 1 but in fact he got the dates wrong as it was a Leap Year and there was an extra day. ( February 29th) His mother explained Leap Year to him and told him that his birthday has yet to arrive and his worries were unfounded.
The Guide for Handling Hurt really comes in useful in explaining to the boys how they can handle Hurt. Prayer , communication and being kind to others are emphasized and these are Christian values which I do want my kids to develop.
In all it was a really enjoyable show. The silly songs with Larry featuring Bubble Rap had the boys signing and bobbing along to the tune.
Here's a short trailer of the DVD for your preview.

By Jeffrey E. Wilson
Taiwan is a beautiful tropical island with a thriving economy. You can bounce from the upscale shops of Taipei to its attractive beaches in one day. No matter where you end up working there are enough expatriates,
other teachers, and American/Australian bars to soothe your transition.
When you walk into your classroom every student is smiling and interested in you. On average teachers make $15 per hour (tax free) and work about 50 hours a week—not bad pay for recent graduates.
If this sounds too good to be true, it's not. But there are a few things about working in Taiwan that recruiters won't tell you.
Most schools offer housing, in some cases free for an entire year contract. Other schools offer housing for the first three months before deducting rent from your salary. Read your contract carefully, but don't
bring up the housing issue until you receive a contract. If a school sends you a contract they think you're qualified and want you. Housing will be offered; if not, bring it up. Unless you're fluent in Mandarin, finding
a safe area on your own in which to rent housing can be a nightmare. Remember you're in a different culture. Things like the toilet paper, beds, and type of housing will be part of overcoming culture shock and making your transition
Give yourself as much as three months to get through the culture shock. To help with your transition buy new clothes before leaving and have someone at home send you care packages every other week. Bring your
favorite movie and music and buy a DVD player after you arrive.
Most schools will bounce teachers in and out of three to five schools per day. Teachers are not paid for the hours clocked riding from school to school. So don't expect a nine to five day; expect a nine
to nine day that will add up to about eight hours of classroom time.
Before leaving for Taiwan secure a debit card that will work abroad. Teachers are only paid once a month.
A high school teacher needs to be prepared to teach kindergarten through fifth grade. Most classes are for young students. Only the occasional class will be older than fifth or sixth grade.
Teachers are expected to ride a bike to local schools (less than three miles) and a scooter to schools further away. In larger cities high-volume traffic fills the streets 16 hours a day. Schools won't
pay for insurance for scooter accidents, but will deduct damages from your salary.
Weather conditions are not acceptable reasons for missing class, and the school will deduct lost time from your salary. You will be expected to ride through downpours, high winds, and lightening.
A 4-year degree is required for teaching with a government-approved visa. The Taiwan Government wants only qualified teachers. Schools are less concerned with a teacher's qualifications than with the number
of native English speakers they have working. Native English speakers don't need a degree to teach. Tourist visas are easily obtained for a $100 fee, usually covered by the school.
Review the contract closely. Some contracts hold teachers responsible for renewing their visas every three months, listing a fee of about $45. They don't always inform teachers that they need to leave
the country to obtain new visas. Thailand is the most popular location for doing this. The process takes a few days, and the teacher is responsible for the cost of the flight, hotel, and other expenses.
The Taiwan Government fines schools hiring non-qualified teachers and teachers working on a tourist visas NT$10,000. Teachers who get caught are deported immediately.
Before signing the contract read it carefully. Ask specific questions when something seems vague. A simple question such as, "Can you ride a bike or scooter?" may be more important than you think.
After five weeks on a 1-year contract I left Taiwan. I had been misinformed about certain requirements. But I have learned a lot from my experience. After completing a BA in English, I plan to return to Taiwan
in September 2006 with a tourist visa in hand and no contract.
Teachers working freelance can easily find positions. They make between $17 and $20 per hour and can pick and choose the numbers of hours per week they wish to work. Selecting your location once you are there
is a big plus for the teachers and makes for smoother transitions abroad.

Evenium Shortens Time-to-Market with Oracle9
"JDeveloper and Business Components for Java (BC4J) dramatically shortened our time-to-market. We were able to develop an application that is reliable, scalable and efficient using the BC4J framework that implements Sun's design patterns."
-- Remi Deh, CTO, Evenium
Evenium is a French Application Service Provider (ASP) offering a unique solution for managing professional events online. Customers can enhance the communication and organization of events such as exhibitions, business meetings, and seminars using an intuitive Web-based interface. The system allows customers to manage and plan invitations, registrations and meetings online as well as enabling multi-channel messaging to all pertinent parties. Using a highly versatile software platform, built according to Customer Relationship Management (CRM) principles, the services allow on-demand customization to closely match customers' needs.
High Tech
JDeveloper for Built-In Best Practices
As soon as the company got established, Evenium had to develop its entire software platform in a very short time frame with limited resources. While a highly competitive environment meant that time-to-market was a crucial success factor for Evenium's solution, the company needed a development tool capable of easily and quickly delivering a scalable, extensive and performant application. To achieve this goal, Evenium selected Oracle9
JDeveloper and its built-in J2EE framework, Business Components for Java (BC4J). Very quickly, Evenium saw BC4J as a fast and reliable J2EE framework that could shorten development time without compromising the delivery of a robust application.
Evenium developed its product using a JSP/Servlet architecture with Java-based business logic in the backend to enable a friendly user interface built on a highly-performant business logic layer defined with BC4J components.
High-Level Project Goals
Lowered development and maintenance costs
Why Oracle?
The Business Components for Java (BC4J) framework built-in right into Oracle9
JDeveloper implements J2EE best practices which made Evenium developers much more efficient right away. This equates to more robust code with a shorter time-to-market.
Focus on Business Logic and Application Design, not Low-Level Coding
The comprehensive database access layer and object/relational mapping capabilities of BC4J allowed Evenium's developers to focus on application design, rather than spending time on coding and managing database access by hand.
Productivity without Compromise
The BC4J framework naturally applies best practices for database access, thus avoiding common design and programming mistakes. It provides default caching and connection pooling features, saving development time and costs for Evenium. At the same time, BC4J is open and extensible and Evenium cites BC4J's flexibility as one of the main reasons for choosing Oracle9
JDeveloper. BC4J provides maximum flexibility allowing Evenium developers to override specific default features as needed.
Proven J2EE Design Patterns for High Quality Code
BC4J ensured the quality of the developed application by automatically implementing Sun's design patterns and best practices for J2EE applications. This resulted in a reliable and scalable product for Evenium based on the latest J2EE standards.

Palimony is the division of financial assets and real property on the termination of a personal live-in relationship wherein the parties are not legally married. The term "palimony" is not a legal or historical term, but rather a colloquial portmanteau of the words pal and alimony coined by celebrity divorce attorney Marvin Mitchelson in 1977 when his client Michelle Triola Marvin filed an unsuccessful suit against the actor Lee Marvin.[1]
Unlike alimony, which is typically provided for by law, palimony is not guaranteed to unmarried partners. There must be a clear agreement, written or oral, by both partners stipulating the extent of financial sharing and/or support in order for palimony to be granted. Palimony cases are determined in civil court as a contract matter, rather than in family court, as in cases of divorce.[2] In the State of New Jersey, palimony cases are tried in Family Court.[citation needed]
Marvin v. Marvin[edit]
Michelle Triola spent several years living with actor Lee Marvin. After their breakup, she legally adopted the surname Marvin despite never having been married to him, and claimed he had promised to support her for the rest of her life. In the end, in Marvin v. Marvin, the California Supreme Court ruled that Triola had not proven the existence of a contract between herself and Mr. Marvin that gave her an interest in his property. Thus, the common law rule applied to the situation without alteration, and she took away from the relationship and the household what she brought to it.[citation needed]
The Court went on to explain that while the state abolished common law marriage in 1896, California law recognizes non-marital relationship contracts. These contracts may be express or implied, oral or written—but they must be provable in any case. The contract may also provide for a sexual relationship as long as it is not a contract for sexual services. Eventually, the California Court of Appeal ruled that since Michelle Triola and Lee Marvin never had a contract, she was not entitled to any money.[3]
Notable cases[edit]
- Tennis player Billie Jean King was sued by Marilyn Barnett in 1981.
- Tennis player Martina Navratilova was sued by Judy Nelson in 1991.
- In 1996, Van Cliburn was sued by former partner Thomas Zaremba for a share of his income and assets following a 17-year relationship ending in 1994. Zaremba's palimony case was dismissed for lack of written agreement, along with claims for emotional distress and that Cliburn subjected him to the fear of AIDS through Cliburn's alleged unprotected liaisons with third parties.[4][5]
- In 2004, comedian Bill Maher was sued for US$9 million by his ex-girlfriend, Nancy "Coco" Johnson.[6][7][8] On May 2, 2005, a California Superior Court judge dismissed the case.[9][10][11]
In popular culture[edit]
Country singer Leon Rausch's song "Palimony" went to #81 on the Billboard Country charts in 1980.
Stuck on You! is a 1982 comedy film follows estranged couple Bill and Carol, who are in a palimony suit against each other.
In the 1996 film The Birdcage, which is adapted from the play La Cage Aux Folles, Albert Goldman (played by Nathan Lane) asks for a palimony agreement from his partner, Armand Goldman (Robin Williams).
Palimony was used as a form of revenge by the Bridgette Wilson character, Chelsea Turner, against her character's boyfriend Seth Winnick (played by French Stewart) in the 1999 film Love Stinks.
Included in the liner notes for Bon Jovi's Slippery When Wet album is a thank you to the group's "expensive lawyers" for helping them to negotiate alimony and palimony payments.
Seeking palimony was an option considered by the lawyer Jane Bingum (Brooke Elliott) during an episode of Drop Dead Diva, where one man married two women. The women ultimately chose to sue their husband for fraud.[episode needed]
