About This Book
This book is about developing Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) applications with the Rational Unified Process (RUP) and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). There are a number of books describing the J2EE platform and its associated technologies. There are also books about software development processes and about RUP, in particular. However, we could not find a book that described and exemplified how to use a subset of RUP that contains only the most relevant parts of an otherwise large and comprehensive process, to build J2EE applications. The book bridges this gap between the RUP and J2EE technologies.
A world that combines J2EE, RUP and UML is complex. This world requires a good map if you are to successfully navigate your way through it. This book provides such a map both metaphorically and literally. It is metaphorical because the very objective of the book is to provide a description of a "safe path" through the J2EE application development activities. It is also literal because we define a "J2EE Developer Roadmap," which is a process map, to guide us. We describe the content of the book in more detail in Chapter 1, Introduction.Who This Book Is For
While writing the book we kept three audiences in mind. The first audience is software architects, designers and developers familiar with the J2EE platform and its technologies, wanting to understand how to apply them in the context of a software development process. The second audience is development team members familiar with RUP, looking for help in applying the process to J2EE development. The third audience is software professionals who are neither familiar with J2EE nor with RUP, and are looking for an example of how to use RUP in the development of a J2EE application.Conventions Used in This Book
The book is roughly divided into two parts. The first part, Chapters 2–5, summarizes the J2EE technologies, introduces RUP and the J2EE Developer Roadmap, and briefly describes our sample application. The rest of the book is what we refer to as the "process chapters" and contains a guided tour through a J2EE application development project.
We structured the process chapters to make them easy to read "at a glance," and to make it easy to refer to specific topics of interest. Each process chapter is organized primarily by activities. We provide diagrams that indicate the overall flow between the activities and the key artifacts that are consumed and produced by the activities. For each activity, we provide an overview table that summarizes the purpose of the activity, its input and output artifacts, and a summary of the steps performed within the activity. Following the table, we then describe the details of each of these steps, using the sample application.
In the process chapters, we use only one simple editing convention: we emphasize all references to process elements such as activities, steps, and artifacts.
Two of the most significant technological development trends of the past few years have been the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE), a platform specifically geared to the needs of enterprise systems, and the Rational Unified Process (RUP), a comprehensive development methodology.
Building J2EE Applications with the Rational Unified Process is the first book to bring these two key development concepts together. Featuring a non-trivial sample application, the book demonstrates a customized subset of RUP that is relevant and essential to J2EE development. The text guides readers through the entire development process, from initial requirements gathering through system implementation, illuminating real-world intricacies, complications, tradeoffs, and decision making.
The book presents a review of the latest releases of J2EE and RUP, emphasizing the rationale behind their content. A developer roadmap helps readers navigate the development process successfully, and detailed discussions of each aspect of the process reveal practical strategies and techniques.
Also provided is detailed coverage of the key aspects behind any successful software development effort:
Written for anyone working in J2EE or using RUP, this book is an comprehensive guide that reveals how J2EE and the Rational Unified Process come together to produce a powerful, efficient, and effective approach to enterprise application development.
Forewords were prepared by John Crupi, Distinguished Engineer at Sun Microsystems (and coauthor of Core J2EE Patterns, Prentice Hall, 2001), and Philippe Kruchten, Director of RUP Development at Rational Software (and author of The Rational Unified Process, Addison-Wesley, 2000).

A SEAL Sniper Instructor's Review of The Movie Lone Survivor
If you don't want to read on then I'll just save you the trouble, and get straight to the point. It's a great movie, go see it.
I was invited to attend a screening of Lone Survivor in New York last week, and invited a few friends of SOFREP to attend (including Ian our radio producer) with me. I was excited about the movie but secretly hoping Peter Berg did right by Marcus, and his book since the movie has produced some drama surrounding Dan Bilzerian's role in the film. The movie didn't disappoint. Few movies in Hollywood do right by the military men (and women) they represent, but this isn't one of those.
The scene where they make initial Taliban contact on the mountain slope is intense, and my back, and head hurt just watching the falling scenes.
My only criticism? I thought it was a mistake to put Marcus in a supporting role in the film, it felt awkward to me to see him on screen as one of the SEALs knowing he was the hero of the story. This may be my own personal bias, and because I know, and trained Marcus when he went through the SEAL sniper course.
Ben Foster get's a 5.0 eval from me on his portrayal of Matt "Axe" Axelson. I know Axe as one of my personal student mentor candidates from sniper school, a great guy, and the consummate operator. Ben nailed it, I felt like I was watching Axe all over again.
One of my favorite parts of the book is the complex cultural dynamic that existed (ultimately saved Luttrell's life) between the local tribe elders, and the Taliban. If you haven't done your research on Pashtunwali, the un-written code of ethics that govern the Pashtun, it's worth looking into.
Berg, and his actors did a great job honoring the men that gave their lives on that lonely Afghan mountainside.
Go see it, and let me know what you think.

This movie touched me so hard I cried. Especially watching those guys falling down cliffs. I strongly suspect my emotions were due to the movie coming out at a particularly hard time in my life but I bonded with it none less. I so wanted to be on that mountain to help.
BrentLochhead RobbyRobinson1 Thank you brother! Your response is appreciated
RobbyRobinson1 "I don't feel respectful to call him by his first name only" I've met Marcus, and he is too humble for people not to call him by his first name. You will not offend him by that.
Hey there, I have a question I want to ask here on the boards from fellow soldiers, not folks who just wouldn't understand. Most civilians would see this movie as a Hollywood action flick and make NO mistake a good one at that. Yet what do fellow SEALs think about the liberties taken by Peter Berg (forgive me if I messed up up the spelling of his name) in the movie that clearly did NOT happen I remember clearly choking up reading Lone Survivor even though I knew the end result when word got out that Marcus Luttrell was found alive (I don't feel respectful to call him by his first name only) and the Senior Chief with the family collected the Luttrell family to let them know as much. I found the book full of insight, solid and what actually occurred to be just as breathtaking and suspenseful as any Hollywood war movie could ever hope for. So why then all the "extras" (I...Marcus Luttrell flat lining at the beginning and end of the movie / Why portray the ill fated QRF occurring within sight and sound of Matthew Axelson and Marcus Luttrell / Why the departure from actual events of Lt. Michael Murphy's heroics that included Lt. Murphy actually rejoining the fight after that brave satellite phone call. Why the manufactured almost beheading of Marcus Luttrell? In closing, it would seem to me and fellow soldiers as well as those in the special operations community, why weren't real events enough?
What a flick, I read the book after listening to Marcus interviews on Glen Becks show a while back, I made the decision then not to see the movie as most military movies make us all out to be baby fucking eaters or supermen, and most of us are in the middle. Although I loved the scene in hunt for red october when they had the under water dog fight under the ice....I have spent time there so knew it was BS but what fun. I digress, after listening to Marcus interviews and watching him speak a few times I was impressed with his humbleness, love for shipmates and how he ate ass hole reporters alive !!!! So I went and saw the flick with my lovely bride, a true cilvilian as I marred her after I retired. This is the first movie in years where I did not feel they went over the top. Watching the flick it was hard enough to breath, I can't imagine how bad it was on that hill. This ole sea dog strongly recommenders this movie....and if you only watch one flick this year....this should be it !!!! On a side note, I hear we are going to be putting ships back into PI, oh to be actdu again. Of course, the fun we had back then would get a guy shit canned noes days...pussy ass PC silliness.

The federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) and corresponding state statutes currently mandate that states administer a standards-based English language proficiency test annually to all English Learners (ELs) in kindergarten through grade twelve in public schools.
In order to comply with the NCLB requirement of an annual English Language Proficiency Assessment, Wyoming joined the World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) consortium in 2009. The WIDA consortium's goal is to provide research based assessments, standards and professional development to its member states. The WIDA consortium is dedicated to the design and implementation of high standards and equitable educational opportunities for English learners.
WIDA ACCESS Placement Test (W-APT®)
WIDA provides Wyoming with a placement test called the W-APT® (WIDA ACCESS Placement Test) the W-APT® is an English proficiency screening assessment that is based upon the ACCESS for ELLs®. Its purposes are the following:
- To identify students who may or may not be candidates for English as a Second Language (ESL) and/or bilingual services.
- To determine the academic English language proficiency levels of students new to a school of to the U.S. school system in order to assign appropriate levels and amount of instructional services.
- To accurately assign students identified as ELs to one of the tiers for ACCESS for ELLs.
ACCESS for ELLs® (Assessing Comprehension and Communication in English State-to-State for English Language Learners)
ACCESS for ELLs® is a large-scale test which addresses the academic English language development (ELD) standards at the core of the WIDA consortium's approach to instructing and evaluating the progress of English learners. All identified English learners in Wyoming participate in this testing program. This secure, annual assessment gives educators, parents and guardians information about the English Language Proficiency level of English learners (ELs) in kindergarten through grade 12 in the skill areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing. It also contains social and academic language contexts. For Title III accountability, ACCESS for ELLs® measures annual gains in English language proficiency – Annual Measurable Achievement Objectives (AMAOs).

Alternate ACCESS for ELLs
The Alternate ACCESS for ELLs is an assessment of English language proficiency (ELP) for students in grades 1-12 who are classified as English learners (ELs) and have significant cognitive disabilities that prevent their meaningful participation in the ACCESS for ELLs assessment. The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB; 2001) requires that all students identified as ELLs be assessed annually for English language proficiency, including students who receive special education services. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA; 2004) also mandates that students with disabilities participate in state-wide and district-wide assessment programs, including alternate assessments with appropriate accommodations, when it is documented in their Individualized Education Programs (IEP). For this reason, WIDA created the Alternate ACCESS for ELLs to meet federal accountability requirements and to provide educators with a measure sensitive to English language proficiency growth of ELs with significant cognitive disabilities.
In order to receive meaningful information from the test, it is very important that only students who meet all three criteria below participate in the assessment. Other ELs should continue to take the existing ACCESS for ELLs assessment, with appropriate accommodations as necessary. Participation should be decided by the student's IEP team.
Participation Criteria:
- The student has been classified as an EL.
- The student has a significant cognitive disability and is eligible for special education services under IDEA.
- The student is in a curriculum aligned with Wyoming Content and Performance Standards – Extensions (WyCPSE) and is participating in the state's alternate accountability assessment, Wy-ALT.

Also digital is probably harder to work with due to more limited dynamic range, which makes correct exposure at the same time more important and easier to check, which makes for a great learning combination.

Carney triad
Dr Henry Knipe ◉ and Dr Frank Gaillard ◉ et al.
The Carney triad (not to be confused with the Carney complex) is a rare syndrome defined by the coexistence of three tumours:
- extra-adrenal paraganglioma (e.g. extra adrenal phaeochromocytoma): initially, only functioning extra-adrenal paragangliomas were included, but subsequent work includes non-functioning extra-adrenal paragangliomas 1
- gastric gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST)
- pulmonary chondroma (hamartoma)
In most cases, only 2 of the 3 tumours are present at the time of diagnosis. It typically affects young people.
Hisotry and etymology

- Fit:Runs small
These are great for keeping LITTLE feet warm. They run very small. After reading other reviews, we got 6-12 month for our baby and he couldn't wear them very long. Size up for sure. As far as warmth goes, they are better than any other sock out there. No slipping and sliding off.
It's be baby time!

Cute and soft
- Familiarity:I returned this product before using it
- Fit:True to size
Loved these but changed my mind on the gift. But in my hands they were warm but breathable. The first several months are more socks than shoes. Great sock.
Best-fit Infant Socks

The SmartWool sock is unique in that is fits snugly on tiny feet. They are cushy and soft. They have a large stretch so they last a lot longer than other infant socks as well. I just love these and this is a great price.
Best Baby Socks Available!

My daughter has chronically cold feet. Most baby socks are cute, but so thin that they do nothing to keep tiny tootsies warm. My sister bought us our first pair for the holidays and OH MAN are they great!! Not only are they frigging adorable, but they ACTUALLY KEEP HER FEET WARM!
There are a couple of minor downsides - they pill quickly, and the rolled edge can make them easier to kick off, but honestly, they are the best socks available for little feet in the winter!

Great present for the Niece!

I bought these little socks for my niece who is about to turn 1 year old. My sister says they fit her well and she seems to like them...haha, well actually she sent me pictures of the little one chewing on them with the caption, "she loves them." So I took that as a good thing.
Beware of sizing
The website says size 12M which is what I ordered; however they came as 6-12 and are too small.
Why are some of these booties offered in...
Why are some of these booties offered in 6mo, some in 12mo and some in 6-12mo. I am wanting to give these as a gift but unsure what size to get. The infant is almost 6 months old and big for his age. One review said that the socks run large and other reviews stated that the socks were hard to keep on. ( I think that is common with most children and most socks. However, these are super soft.) Help anyone?
The 6mo size is 0-6mo and the 12mo size is 6-12mo.
I hope that helps!
WONKA, Gearhead

Got these for my new niece and they love them. Very sorry and quality like all SmartWool products.

so my little girl is finally here and we try to get these booties on her feet constantly, they look really good but unlike my friend's little one, these will not stay on her feet! she's super wiggly and they fall off every 2 seconds, which is a pain but they are super warm and they fit her really well!

bootie perfection!
got these for my friend's little girl, super soft and comfortable, great fit (we got her the 12 month sizing but she's around 8 months, she's got some big feet! so they are pretty true to size for most babies).
Definitely looking forward to getting a pair for my little girl when she arrives in a month!
They grow with your little one

My niece was able to wear these for most of the year. They worked perfectly!

Spaghetti alla Gricia
The key ingredient in Spaghetti alla Gricia is guanciale, cured pork jowl. Guanciale is also traditionally used in the classic Roman Pasta dishes, Bucatini all'Amatriciana and Spaghetti alla Carbonara.
Ossobuco is a classic Milanese dish that pairs perfectly with another specialty from the Lombardy region, saffron infused Risotto alla Milanese.
Wild Mushroom Risotto
Roasting the mushrooms truly gives this killer risotto an added depth of flavor
Swordfish Sicilian Style
This is my favorite way to have Swordfish. The lemon, oil, garlic and white wine marinade is quick to make and very tasty.
In Italy, Porchetta is a deboned pig, stuffed and rolled, and there are many versions depending on the region. I wanted to make Porchetta, but was not quite up to deboning and stuffing a pig, so I decided to do what you might consider "Porchetta Lite"….
Lamb Chops Scottadito
In Italian the word scottadito means burned fingers. This dish is named scottadito because the lamb chops are so delicious that you can't resist eating them sizzling hot, straight from the grill and burning your fingers.
Spaghetti alla GriciaThe key ingredient in Spaghetti alla Gricia is guanciale, cured pork jowl. Guanciale is also traditionally used in the classic Roman Pasta dishes, Bucatini all'Amatriciana and Spaghetti alla Carbonara. Since guanciale is not easy to find outside of Rome and the Lazio region in Italy, and until recently impossible here in the U.S., substituting pancetta for the guanciale in those dishes has become commonplace. However, I would not make that subsitution with this dish, because guanciale is the centerpiece here, and it would not be the same. Spaghetti alla Gricia, is sometimes referred to as Amatriciana in Bianco, which means White Amatriciana, because it is made without tomatoes. Serves 4-6 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil 4 ounces guanciale, cut into1/4 inch slices, then chopped coarsely 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes 1 pound spaghetti 1/2 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese Heat the olive oil in a large sautè pan over medium heat. Add the guanciale and the hot pepper and sautè until guanciale is crisp. Remove from the heat. Bring a large pot of liberally salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook uncovered over high heat until al dente. Place the pan with the guanciale back over medium heat. Drain the pasta and add it to the pan with the Pecorino Romano. Stir the pasta vigorously until guanciale and cheese are well distributed. Serve immediately with extra Pecorino Romano on the...
OssobucoOssobuco is a classic Milanese dish that pairs perfectly with another specialty from the Lombardy region, saffron infused Risotto alla Milanese. The name Ossobuco literally translates to "bone with a hole" which is a reference to the marrow filled hole in the center of the veal shank. You might be tempted to skip the tying of the veal shanks, but if you do you risk ending up with the meat separating completely from the bone and falling apart into the sauce. If you are not comfortable tying them yourself, ask your butcher to do it for you when you purchase them. Ossobuco Recipe Serves 4 4 tablespoons olive oil 4 veal shanks cut about 3 inches thick, each tied tightly cross-wise flour, spread on a plate 1 small onion chopped fine 2 carrots chopped fine 2 stalks of celery chopped fine 3/4 cup dry white wine 4 tablespoons butter 1-1/2 cups chicken broth 1 cup imported Italian tomatoes, crushed with their juices freshly ground pepper to taste salt to taste Heat the 4 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sautè pan over medium heat. Dredge the veal shanks in the flour, coating on all sides and shake off the excess flour. When the oil is hot, slip in the shanks and brown them on all sides. Remove the veal shanks and reserve. Add the onion, carrot and celery to the pan. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 10 minutes. Add the wine and reduce for two minutes, scraping loose the browning residues stuck to the bottom of the pan. Then add the reserved veal shanks back to the...
Wild Mushroom RisottoRecipe attribution and credit can be a tricky thing. The internet is like the wild west when it comes to this, ripe with ripped off recipes and people stealing other people's ideas without giving credit. Several times I have stumbled across my own recipes copied word for word on other sites without attribution, and I definitely don't like being on the recieving end. So I am always careful not to be on wrong side of this dilemma. That being said I often get good ideas that I try in my own recipes from other recipes and cookbooks and I feel that as long as it is only a part of the recipe and the recipe as a whole is mine that it is ok to get inspiration from others. Especially if that inspiration is acknowledged. This recipe is a prime example of this. I had been struggling at coming up with a truly killer mushroom risotto, and saw the idea of roasting the mushrooms in Jamie's Italy by Jamie Oliver. He uses the technique in his Roasted Mushroom and Parsley Risotto and it really does add an extra depth of flavor. I combined this one idea with my own risotto technique with saffron and came up with a recipe that is different enough from his to call my own, but still owes a nod to his ingenuity. What do you think? When does a recipe become your own? Are there hard and fast rules or a formula? Serves 4 Ingredients 3 tablespoons olive oil 8 tablespoons butter 1 medium onion chopped fine 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads 2 cups arborio...
Swordfish Sicilian StyleThis is one of the first recipes my father gave me for The Italian Chef way back in 1999. Back then I wrote: This is my favorite way to have Swordfish. The lemon, oil, garlic and white wine marinade is quick to make and very tasty. Instead of marinating the fish up front for a long period of time, the marinade is cooked in quickly at high heat after the fish is cooked through. Yet, mysteriously enough, since then I have moved away from preparing swordfish this way in favor of cooking it on the grill with salmoriglio. This past weekend I decided to revisit making it this way, and I was definitely left scratching my head wondering why I hadn't had it in so long. You can prepare this on the grill also. Just cook the fish plain on the grill, and heat up a saute pan either on the side burner or the other side of the grill. When the fish is just about done transfer it to the pan, pour over the marinade, and cook for a few minutes until the sauce is reduced down. Swordfish Sicilian Style Prep time: 5 min | Cook time: 15 min | Total time: 20 min Serves 4 4 Swordfish steaks 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped 1/2 cup olive oil juice of 3 lemons 1/4 cup white wine salt & pepper to taste Combine oil, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, lemon juice and white wine in a small bowl. Place swordfish in a lightly oiled baking dish and cook under broiler for around 5 minutes. Flip...
Paglia e Fieno with Prosciutto and CreamEvery once in a while I pick up my copy of Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking by Marcella Hazan, and flip through it looking for inspiration. Most times that inspiration comes in something that is so simple, that I kick myself for not thinking of it on my own. Prosciutto, cream and Parmagiano-Reggiano makes an awesome quick pasta sauce that goes great with fresh pasta. Paglia e Fieno (Straw and hay) is a combination of plain fresh pasta and green pasta flavored with spinach. Paglia e Fieno with Sausage and Cream Recipe Prep time: 5 min | Cook time: 20 min | Total time: 25 min Serves 4 2 tablespoons butter 1/4 pound thinly sliced Prosciutto di Parma 1 cup heavy cream salt & pepper to taste 1 pound fresh green and white fettuccine or tagliatelle 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmagianno-Reggiano cheeseplus additional for serving Slice the prosciutto into thin strips. Melt butter in a medium sauce pan over medium heat. Add the prosciutto and cook, stirring until it starts to crisp up, about 2 minutes. Add the cream, salt and pepper, and cook until the sauce has thickened, 2-3 minutes. Take the sauce off the heat. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and add the pasta. Cook uncovered over high heat until al dente and drain. Place the pan with the sauce back over medium heat, add the pasta, and grated Parmagianno-Reggiano cheese to the pan and toss until well coated. Serve with additional grated cheese on the...
Short Rib RaguA ragu is a slow cooked meat based sauce, and there as many variations as there are regions in Italy. I have posted a couple of versions of Ragu alla Bolognese in the past, but strangely enough I have never featured a Southern Italian ragu. This is especially perplexing, considering I am Sicilian, and grew up having this type of meal on Sundays. Ragus from the south are usually made by cooking large pieces of beef and/or pork in sauce for hours until tender. Then the sauce is spooned over pasta for the primo or first course in a meal, and the meat is served separately as the main course.You can put beef and pork ribs, sausage and even meatballs in, but I decide to keep mine simple and just make a nice beef short rib ragu, with some diced pancetta thrown in to add a little pork flavor. Finally, while I said the meat is usually served as a separate course, you can also opt to pull it off the bone, shred it up and mix it back in with the sauce, if you are just looking to make pasta with a hearty sauce. Enjoy! Short Rib Ragu Recipe Prep time: 15 min | Cook time: 3 hours | Total time: 3 hours and 15 min Serves 4-6 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 small yellow onion, chopped fine 1 stalk celerey, chopped fine 1 carrot, chopped fine 4 ounces pancetta, diced 4 pounds beef short ribs, cut into 2 inch pieces 2 35-ounce cans imported Italian peeled tomatoes 1 cup beef broth salt and freshly ground black...

In1984/85, the tiny, colorful fish with the long name - Humuhumunukunuku apua`a, - (Rhinecanthus rectangulus,) was selected as the official State Fish of Hawai'i after a popular vote and the approval of the State Legislature. It was selected after a high-profile campaign to educate the public about the kinds of fish that inhabit Hawaiian waters. The State Fish's official term of office lasted five years, and there was no re-election campaign. The reef triggerfish remains the "unofficial" State Fish of Hawai'i. On April 17, 2006, bill HB1982 was presented to the Governor of Hawaii which permanently reinstated the reef triggerfish (humuhumunukunukuapua'a) as the state fish of Hawaii. The bill passed into law on May 2, 2006 and was effective upon its approval. On April 17, 2006, bill HB1982 was presented to the Governor of Hawaii which permanently reinstated the reef triggerfish (humuhumunukunukuapua'a) as the state fish of Hawaii. The bill passed into law on May 2, 2006 and was effective upon its approval
The Wedge-tailed Triggerfish can be recognized by its coloration. It has a diagonal black band from the eye to the anal fin. There is a black wedge-shaped mark on the caudal peduncle. This is preceded by two yellow v-shaped marks (white in juveniles). There are black bands between the eyes and a blue bar across the upper lip.
It is a sturdily-built fish, reaching up to 10 inches in length, with small powerful jaws and sharp, cutting teeth. The reef trigger shares its long Hawaiian name with a close, but less common relative, the lagoon triggerfish
The reef triggerfish is generally found in shallow outer reef habitats, often on surge-swept basalt reefs. It swims close to the bottom, searching for potential food items. It feeds on algae and reef invertebrates, including small crustaceans, worms, brittle stars, sea urchins, and snails. The reef trigger is not easy to approach closely and tends to keep a distance from observers, but its distinctive behavior and appearance make it easy to watch from a distance.

Wanted to get different opinions to vaccinate or not! When you solely pleasure ride in your own area, not traveling, other barns or rings, how necessary do you think it is? And which ones are highly recommend? Thank you in advance for your opinions.
We have a closed herd, rarely travel, and don't show, also. We give a 6 way in the spring + rabies.
Posted via Mobile Device
I would vaccinate even if I didn't go around town just because I board and someone else might bring something in or I could come across a horse on the trails that does. I vaccinate twice a year.
Posted via Mobile Device
I vaccinate Tetanus and Flu jabs - i'm in the UK so that's all I need - we've no other horses (a much awaited foal should be here anyday) so we're just going to do a worm count from now as she's just had her last wormer pre-foaling.
I'm not knowledgeable enough to not go with the vaccines so I err on the side of caution with Foxy's health :-)
My horses are generally in the same boat. I vaccinate with a 4 way every year. This year, I will add west Nile and Equine influenza because the Mosquitos are getting worse, and last year there were a few cases in this area. We will also travel more with the horses this year to trails, lessons and a couple of shows.
Some diseases are not limited to horse to horse transmission (I.e. West Nile).
It is best to ask your veterinarian what the risks are in your area and vaccinate accordingly.
years ago I used to give a rabies and have a coggins pulled. I can't remember doing anything else.
Now I do everything twice a year...
I never vaccinated mine until about 3 weeks ago I do mounted patrol, and it was madatory. I just did the 5 way because I had to. If it was my choice, I would have left mine unvaccinated like he has been his entire 18 years.
Posted via Mobile Device
I have only my two mares, and ride right here for pleasure - they get a 4-way each Spring.

Re: Does iPhoto support The Nikon D600? in response to Russell t Helpful
Not under Mac OS X 10.6 for RAW. 10.7 supports it with iPhoto 9.4 or Aperture 3.4. Unfortunately you'll have to kiss your PowerPC software good bye, unless you want to run a special Parallels solution, or a separate partition running 10.6 on your machine, which would require cloning twice to two separate drives, and partitioning for just a 10.7 system with the iPhoto or Aperture version of your choice, leaving enough room for 10.6 and the applications that need it. For more on upgrading to 10.7 or later see my tip.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

November 28, 2015
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - The Washington Redskins have released struggling kicker Billy Cundiff and replaced him with free agent Kai Forbath.
Forbath emerged as the winner in a tryout at Redskins Park on Tuesday. He won the Lou Groza Award with UCLA in 2009 as the top kicker in college football, but he has yet to play in the NFL.
Cundiff was signed late in preseason after he was waived by the Baltimore Ravens. He has been the worst kicker in the league this year, making only seven of 12 field goal attempts. Two of his misses have been from inside 40 yards, including a 31-yard misfire in Sunday's 24-17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Dale was involved in youth athletics, coaching CYO football and basketball for over 10 years and Mechanicsburg baseball for 15 years. He instilled fundamentals, sportsmanship and confidence in all his teams.
A Renaissance man, Dale enjoyed travel, history, sports, food and wine, meeting people throughout the world, and spending quality time with his family.

George G. Nelson
GEORGE G. NELSON - MILTON - George G. Nelson passed away on Dec. 19, 2014, at home surrounded by his family.
He was born in St. Johnsbury on June 20, 1946, to Hassall and Margaret Nelson. He attended a one-room schoolhouse in Ryegate, and graduated from Woodsville High School in 1964. He attended Norwich University and was a graduate of The University of Vermont in 1969 with a Bachelor's of Science degree in Industrial Management. He continued with post graduate work at UVM in Civil Engineering. His first job was raising chickens on his family farm where he sold eggs to local restaurants. His IBM career began while attending UVM. He retired in 1993 as a Facilities Engineer/Manager. Later in 1993, he began working in the Central Office of the Grand Isle Supervisory Union. This job gave him great joy, and as his health declined he continued to work from home. He had a great passion for serving his community which included Justice of the Peace, Chair of the Board of Civil Authority, School Board Member/Chair, Commissioner of Champlain Water District, Council Member/Chair of the United Church of Milton, Commissioner of the Milton Village Cemetery, and an active member on numerous community activities. George was the "go to" guy for anyone who needed help, no matter how big or small, anytime day or night. He would drop anything to help others and did it with a genuine smile both on his face and in his heart.
In June 1967, George married his best friend and partner in life, Shirley. Together they raised their two children, Todd and Heidi, in Milton. George had the pleasure of being Papa to five beautiful grandchildren, Victoria, Jarrett and Jake, the children of Todd and Kim Nelson of St. Albans; and Colby and Chatham, the children of Heidi and Brad Brouillette of Georgia, Vt. George was the brother of Lois Nelson of Woodstock, Ill., Mary Nelson of Woodsville, N.H., and Rachel and Nelson Baker of Ryegate. His family was truly his pride and joy. He was proud to be a husband, father, grandfather and brother. He would always say to his grandkids, "If we have it, you can have it. All you have to do is ask." He loved to play a good game of cards and make new handshakes with his grandkids. A spot on the couch next to Papa for a reading of "The Large and Growly Bear" was certainly a highlight for all when they were young. He loved to go to all their soccer, hockey, basketball, and baseball games, dance recitals, band concerts, you name it, he was there with a smile on his face and camera in hand waiting for the perfect shot.
A heartfelt thank you to Rachel whose loving care blessed us with the ability to keep George at home with his family. We would also like to thank Dr. Paul Unger and his staff, especially Margaret, for their devoted care and friendship. They helped him to live his life with dignity, determination and faith, and not be solely defined by cancer for the last 20 years.
The family will receive friends on Monday, Dec. 22, 2014, at the United Church of Milton from 9 to 11 a.m. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., followed by a luncheon and fellowship.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Milton Village Cemetery, c/o Rod Brigham, 1480 Georgia Shore Road, St. Albans, VT 05478; or the United Church of Milton, PO Box 107, Milton, VT 05468.

I am looking for a Graflex Crown Graphic 4x5. I'm hoping to get it with a standard lens as well, like the Optar 135mm. Side or top mounted rangefinder, either is fine as long as it's calibrated and accurate for use with said lens. Also, a Graflok back is preferable.
I'm looking for a Weston Master V with Invercone and cases. It doesn't matter if the meter is accurate or not as I plan to have the selenium cells replaced.

Dublin + The East
Hotels in Dublin + The East
One of the Landmark Trust's unique collection of antique properties, this 1792 converted coachman's house is situated above a working stable, still in use by the city's mounted police corps. Originally part of an adjacent townhouse property (No.
Occupying a cluster of four stately Georgian houses, which overlook formal landscaped gardens, this property set right across the street from the city's government offices was carefully restored in the late 1990s to its 18th-century splendor.
Located in Dublin's city center, the Westbury Hotel is located just off Grafton Street, next door to the high-end Westbury Mall, and close to Trinity College and Temple Bar. A grand staircase leads to the lobby, which is decorated with marble floors and antique furnishings.
Located on the coast of Portmarnock, also known as the Velvet Strand, this hotel was originally built in 1847 as a private mansion for the Jameson Whiskey family.
Georgian estate with a full roster of activities, including golf, fly-fishing, and horseback riding.
Located on the quiet stretch of Golden Lane between St. Patrick's Cathedral and Temple Bar, the new Radisson Blu Royal is perfect for design-forward business travelers.
The Shelbourne, Dublin's most famous historic hotel, is where Ireland's founding fathers first drafted the country's constitution, in 1922. These days, the 1824 Georgian building—located across the street from the verdant gardens and meandering walking paths of St.
Remodeled in 2005, this Edwardian-era mansion is part of the Halpin brand, which showcases traditional Irish hotels.
Epitomizing the "new Dublin chic," this stylish, designy boutique property is a favorite among the city's fashionistas. Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in the swanky D4 area, the hotel enjoys a peaceful location—although just a 10-minute drive from the center of town.
You'll find more than 800 years of history and decoration at Waterford Castle, as evidenced by the Jacobian-style antiques and original tapestries that dress its great halls and foyers. Country-house style and elegant décor are throughout the castle's five suites and 14 deluxe guest rooms.
The hotel's main building is a five-minute walk from Powerscourt's 47 acres of formal gardens and a 40-minute cab ride from central Dublin. The 200 guest rooms feature eiderdown-swathed beds and massive marble-clad bathrooms with heated floors and Bulgari bath products.
Glass-and-brick business-friendly hotel with contemporary furnishings and stunning city views from the top floors, near St. Stephen's Green and the National Concert Hall.
Part of the Halpin brand, this boutique property is located in the wealthy neighborhood of Ballsbridge. Manicured gardens and cricket grounds surround the mansion-like brick building, while inside guests will find four-poster beds, antique furniture, and in-room whirlpool bathtubs.
If you'd rather feel like a local than a visitor, this self-catered Georgian townhouse on a Temple Bar side street may be just the ticket.
Part Georgian town house, part groovy seventies crash pad, it's a secluded yet popular 20-room boutique B&B just off St. Stephen's Green. An ivy-clad door at the end of an alley opens onto a mirrored reception desk and sunken lounge.

I originally purchase (from Walmart) RCA Antenna system along with a HD TV for my Brother Tim who lives in Florida. He doesn't have Cable and didn't want to spend any money for it! Thru a little research I found a nice TV and a Antenna system that I think would work with this TV. The RCA antenna had the best reviews so I went for it and glad that I did!
My Brother called me to tell me how happy he was with not only the HD TV but also with the RCA antenna that worked exceptionally well. So I bought one for myself in case the cable goes out. I did a test with it just to make sure it worked for me like it did for my brother, and it did… worth every penny.. Hard to believe that you can get such a great HD picture with these rabbit ears. I'm happy with it 100%..
This antenna is great. We live in Denver Metro area and there are 40 channels broadcast off-the-air. Without this I could receive about one-half of the stations but with this I am now receiving many that I did not receive before. There is a gain control at the back, and it was shipped at the lowest setting. I increased the gain to make it work real good. Crisp pictures, crisp sound.
I need to boost my signal prior to the digital TV conversion - I had already bought a digital box but didn't have a strong indoor antenna. This did the job, and I picked up a few more channels I hadn't expected - and didn't get some channels I had hoped for. But all in all, I'm satisfied.
Very good quality - nice heavy base - attractive equipment - overall im pleased with this product and would recommend it for everyone who needs a good converter box antenna
Picked this Antenna up expecting to get all my locals with cable clarity. Extremely easy to hook-up - If you have a digital tv and tuner. If not you will need a Digital to analog converter. Once hooked up using the quick install guide I scanned for channel's expecting to get six of them - but ended up with 16. No misprint Sixteen. I live in Springfield, Il. area and picking up channels 50 miles away in Decatur,Il. and 90 miles away in Champaign, Il. crystal clear. Remember I'm in the flat lands with nothing but cornfields. My original scan I had the ears fully extended but found I got better reception with the ears halfway extended as pictured above. The only issue I had was - I was hooking up to an old anolog tv so I had to connect the antenna to a Digital to analog converter. I will take the converter back and just go get a new tv with Digital tuner and eliminate the wires. Then pick up a Magnavox digital HDD and HDV box and I can say good by to the extra $73 monthly I'm paying for Comcast. I also plan on buying a smartbox Blue ray player so I can stream Netflicks, Hulu, ect. But all in all this antenna delivers more than I expected.
I is useful when my parents and/or sister are taking up the other TV in the household. It's a nice to watch TV in my own room without having to pay for satellite service.
This was purchased for my mom who will not pay for cable or direct tv, lol. Prior to adding this antenna her tv would freeze up and if there was a picture 90% of the time the words did not match the mouths. I was not able to watch tv that way. Once we put this on and found a good spot to sit it (close to a window) all her issues were resolved. She can now watch tv again and does not have the freeze ups and full screen pixels and sound distortion that she used to have. The only time there is an issue is if it is very windy outside, other than that this was a great purchase. She is now part of the digital tv age.
I did not expect to receive a antenna with a electrical plug. When I opened up the box I was surprised to see that it had an electrical cord. I set it up no problem plug it in no problem. Hooked it to my digital convert box problem. I got all the channels except channel 4. I was worried that this antenna was not worth the effort until I read that there is a switch in the back that can help bring in problem stations. Now every station is fine, no problems and great clear picture. I live behind a hospital and it blocks a lot of my signals so this is just what I need so as not to have to keep making changes to the antenna. It's worth it if you have any type of obstacle that will affect your signal.
I have this for two years. If I set it right in a position and direction(not like the product description says that it is 360 degree), it picks up as many stations as an outdoor antennae does. My neighbor has an outdoor antennae and I compared my tv stations received with hers and we got all the same channels (20 - 30 stations). Go to antennapoint.com to find out which direction of the most of your local tv stations are located and point your circular loop to it for UHF, and your two pull ups as 90 degree to the direction for VHF. Hope this helps.
I purchased this a week ago when I received a new converter box. My living room hardly gets any reception so I put the new antenna in there. I had no clue that I could get over 50 channels. Whether I would watch them or not, it is still good to have them. I probably got 8 if that many with my last antenna and they would only work 30 percent of the time. This one workd just about all the time, I might have to adjust it slightly when i switch to certain channels but that better then them not working at all. I am actually about to purchase this same antenna for the other room in my apartment. I love it!
I had to let my satellite service go so I was sooooo sad until one of the guys at work recommended I get one of these to connect to my digital tv. I get ALL of my local stations so I can watch all my nightly sitcoms like Mike & Molly, Are We There Yet?, How I Met Your Mother, Dateline and 60 minutes, the Presidential Debates and my shows like Grimm, Person of Interest, NCIS and so much more WITHOUT A MONTHLY PAYMENT! I really love it. I'll be getting another one for my tv downstairs, as soon as they get them back in stock.
After months of sketchy tv after the digital change over (we do not subscribe to cable), this antenna finally gives us a few more channels with excellent picture and sound. We have a 15 foot roof antenna and this indoor one works much much better than that one does!
This is great for hooking up to a digital box and getting excellent reception. Easy to hookup and gets local stations with a great view.
I was skeptical when I bought this antenna for under $20, but the antenna we were using (we paid about $35 for it) kept losing reception (signal would break up too much). When I connected this before even setting it up in an ideal area, it was picking up better signal that the prior one.
Found signal and channels where more expensive power antennaes could not
I was a little disapointed in the antenna. After waiting a week for it to get to the store, i connected it to the tv. ( after removing my old set of rabbit ears). I was surprised that this antenna did not get all of the channels as the rabbit ears. ( even after many adjustments). also you need to connect it to AC( for the built in amp). I can't figure out why a cheep set a rabbit ears worked better than this product.
I bought this to replace the one I gave my daughter. I think I'm going to give this one to her. The one I had was a Phillips and I loved it. Walmart no longer sells the Phillips so I tried the RCA. Not happy with it and I had to troubleshoot because it just didn't want to work. I did get it to work but I don't get as many channels as I did with the Phillips. Amazon sells the Phillips but they want way too much for it. So yes the antenna works but not to the fullest quality as I was looking for.
I really can't say enough about this product. Am an older lady, and didn't know if I could hook it to my tv. It was so easy. My tv has the best quality picture it has ever had. The quality of this product looks and works like a very high priced item. If you decide to purchase, expect to be very satisfied!
This antenna far exceeds my expectations !!!
It is easy to hook up, easy to use & well worth the tiny price !
If you're fed up with being price gouged by the cable companies
& would love to get back to the good old days when everyone
watched TV for free, then I highly recommend you buy this !
I'm picking up 47 channels & I have trackless trolley lines
outside my apt. a few feet from my window where the antenna is.
It works great !!
I live in Littleton, CO. Before purchasing this I researched the the availability of live TV stations in my area. There are plenty. Imagine my disappointment when I received NO stations after setting the antenna in place next to the TV located in a second floor bedroom. But by the next day and searching for on-air channels once again, I was receiving all the channels I was supposed to receive. It just took a while. Reception of the digital HD channels is great. I use this in conjunction with a Roku receiver. Good combination. I avoided having to run a coax cable to the bedroom.

There are many spaces and places around the city. Some we use, some we look at, and some just need a little TLC. Detroit SOUP is looking to make the Jam Handy Building (a wonderful open space in New Center that used to be a film studio, among other things) it's new home. Last year we used this enormous space for the two year anniversary and we would like to use it year round for our microgranting dinners. What would be even better is that we would like to help it become a communal use space! In the last year it has been used for art installations, theatrical performances, music performance, beer brewing, urban farming classes, meeting space, film viewing, recital space, practice space, SOUP space, basketball games, etc.
Imagine yourself either putting your idea into practice in the space or engaging an in an event there. Now imagine in the winter, in Detroit.....it's cold in their! Simeon (he owns the space with his brother Nat) did the math, called a few contractors, and realized that heat could be installed for $6000 and add some electrical and some lights for another $4000, we could have another venue that would be offered to the community to use for low rent or an exchange of something. Wow, really, that's it? It's amazing to think of what kind of community impact that space could make. East Grand Blvd. has some amazing potential become a center where art and ideas are growing and happening in the city of Detroit.
Breaking it Down:
Raising $6000 gets the Jam Handy heat for the building
Raising $10,000 gets heat, light and electrical work
Raising $15,000 gets the Jam Handy heat, light, electrical work and SOUND
Raising $20,000 get the Jam Handy all of the above and the ability to pay those bills when they come and the price of using the space does not rise!
We want the space to be a together space. We would love if we raised about another $5000. We could even think about sound and getting an established PA sound system so that we can all use it to share our ideas. I know all this sharing stuff could sound crazy but we really believe that artists need a venue to share their ideas. This one will be all ages and the community is open to using it whether through a trade, a barter, a swap, or a contribution, the large space will be open for all to use.
So who was Jam Handy and what is this space?! Well, Jam Handy the man was by all accounts quite a character. Before arriving in Detroit and establishing his legendary film studio, Handy had already been suspended from the University of Michigan for sullying the school's reputation by publishing a colorful cartoon poking fun at a stodgy professor, and established himself as a pioneer in the field of competitive swimming by inventing two swimming techniques (still widely used today) and capturing a bronze medal in the 1904 Olympics despite standing only 5' 2" tall. Even than more rabble rousing and swimming, Jam Handy's true passion was visual communication and his prescient belief that it would revolutionize education by--as he stated in one of his many delightfully anachronistic quotes--"putting the hay where the horse can reach it."
To this end, Jam Handy moved The Jam Handy Organization to Detroit in 1932, locating it on East Grand Boulevard in order to be near his biggest client, General Motors and its 80 affiliated companies. Over the subsequent decades, Jam Handy went on to produce over 25,000 instructional films on seemingly every conceivable subject, including more than 7,000 training films for the U.S. Armed Forces during World War II. If you're curious about what these films looked like (and you should be!) check out http://archive.org/details/jam_handy. While the Jam Handy Organization has long ceased to exist and its once sprawling network of buildings lining East Grand Boulevard has mostly disappeared from the landscape, its legacy lives on. Behind the scenes and around the world, numerous technical advancements that continue to shape the contemporary film industry owe their existence to the Jam Handy Organization. And now, here in Detroit, with the ongoing revival of the JHO's former headquarters and main film stage, another scene--and a whole different kind of Jam Handy production--is taking place.
What is this Detroit SOUP?
Detroit SOUP is a public soup dinner! Pay $5. Learn about creative projects happening in Detroit. Vote on which project to fund with the money raised from the meal that night. It has been happening since February 2010 above the Mexicantown Bakery, currently meeting in Corktown, and soon to make a permanent home. The project gets about 150-200 people at each dinner and the new space will allow for heat and better seating, something the current space does not have.
Everyone wins with your donation. There are some awesome perks in store! Relics of the buildings history, pieces of Detroit SOUP, potential to make the space yours! Anything over $25 we will use $5 towards Detroit SOUP and the November soup dinner to help make the next dreamers project come true!

"Asian economics," Tila calls that mind-set. In Cambodia, it's common for individual shops, all of which sell the same thing, to amass in a dense cluster and compete. Everyone's in it for themselves, and everyone mimics everyone else. Bopho's scheme necessitated an abandonment of that ethos. At some level, cooperation means sacrificing independence, which, even if it does lend greater prosperity, would be anathema to most villagers.
It's a mistake Bopho hasn't forgotten or forgiven. On a recent Friday morning, he was in a dark mood and didn't want to talk. He had turned his phone off; no one knew where he was. When he finally arrived at his house at 9:30 a.m., drinking Miller Lite, his black tank top was matted with sweat. He'd been in the fields and greenhouses since daybreak, threshing and boxing water spinach. He said he didn't have time for disruptions, especially questions about his relationship with other villagers. He's through with them, he says—they do their thing; he does his. "They can kiss my ass," he said, later adding, "I don' care what they say. I'm not here to make friends. I'm here to get rich."
But watching Bopho rage and perspire, it became clear that he, just as everyone else here, probably never will. There are countless frustrations in selling water spinach. It takes hours to clean, prepare and package. Knuckles bloat and split open under the strain. Then, after all that, a pound of the crop gets barely 70 cents in Texas. The cost of a Coke. It's insulting. Most families make far less than $100 per day, and sometimes, they can't even get that. The crop spoils, or the wholesaler, for whatever reason, doesn't want the haul anymore, and hundreds of pounds get burned. Because the crop's not a regulated or publicly traded commodity—such as wheat or cotton—there's no insurance or speculation to assuage risk or buffer losses. Every family in every way is on its own.
On days such as today, though, it's better not to think like that. Bopho has sunk everything into his water spinach business. So he contemplates possibilities. If he could funnel water spinach up north somehow, or build more greenhouses, or find some way to control the price, then he'd make real money. He could retire before his body fails. On days such as today, when he already feels beaten and tired and has a long drive and uncertain prospects ahead, it's better to entertain fantasy. So he loads up his white van, slams the door and creaks down the moonscape dirt road, alone and Dallas-bound.

Personally I wouldn't worry too much about it. I have travelled in and out of europe a lot, and have had my film x-rayed, and really have not seen a problem. I think if you were to have multiple exposures with really fast film you might be in trouble.If you are just going to France, get the stuff hand inspected in the states, and try for a hand inspection in France. Do put the film in a separate bag so they don't keep it under the scanner too long. My camera bag frequently drives xray guys nuts and they look at it for a long time, probably not a good idea for film.
Also watch out for museums and such, as some of them put your stuff through xrays also.
