Chris S: The CDI extension performs a lookup of the Service based on the filter criteria specified, and there is no way today to specify the filter criteria at runtime to either the actual or test service implementation.
 - Would it be possible to unregister the actual service implementation when the test-Service is intended to be used?
 - If that cannot be done, you can look at using Seam XML Configuration extension to modify Bean's configuration through XML at runtime. See http://docs.jboss.org/seam/3/xml-config/latest/reference/en-US/html_single/#xml.installing-beans for more information. I haven't personally tried this though in GlassFish.

we would like to have 2 service implementations at the same time during runtime.
 one is e.g. the test the other one is the real implementation.
 filter criteria should not be changed for that.. we would simply say now use that service (e.g. the tester) without coding.

is there any possibility to interject the lookup of the services in a way to deside which one is actually choosen as the one to be used ?

Suraj:
 Why not convert testAPI to a bundle. That's easy. You can use bnd tool [1] or maven bnd plugin [2] to do that.
 If you don't then, you can bundle it in your testCore bundle as well. It could be as simple as making your dependency on testAPI a compile time dependency and updating the Bundle-ClassPath to include WEB-INF/lib/testAPI.jar in your testCore/pom.xml. To tell the exact answer, we need to know what kind of project testCore is. Why not ask your question in glassfish forum?

Suraj: If testAPI is not an OSGi bundle but a JAR dependency for the testCore bundle, then that jar has to be included with the testCore bundle.
 If testAPI is an OSGi bundle, then it can be installed as an osgi bundle through asadmin deploy --type osgi <path-to-api-bundle> or through the gogo shell as discussed in the blog above.

Suraj: Dependency on the testdomain and testapi jar can be specified in the same manner, the wab module states a dependency on the service module in the archive at http://blogs.sun.com/sivakumart/resource/stockquote-cdi-osgi-sample.zip

Look at the pom.xml in the wab module. It states a dependency on the service module by having this:

 <dependency>
 <groupId>${groupId}</groupId>
 <artifactId>stockquote_service</artifactId>
 <version>${project.version}</version>
 <scope>provided</scope>
 </dependency>

Hi,
 Thanks for great tutorial. I have flowing maven project structure

1> testdomain
 2> testAPI
 3>testCore [ which implement testAPI]

testCore which is osgi bundle requires testdomain,testAPI jar. How can i specify dependency to osgi bundle ?

Hi Sivakumar,

I really appreciate your work at glassfish and this solution seems to be really nice.

However I have a question:
 Does this also include OSGi Services exported using the Export-EJB Manifest Header?

Great to see the spec moving forward - I have not yet read the spec but would it be possible to align the Connector spec to the JBI spec in terms of Connectors, at least paradigm-wise?

I see a lot of potential in combining the strengths of the two specs in terms of external connectivity, as BindingComponents in JBI are semantically quite similar (or at least strongly related) to JCA Connectors.

HI Sivakumar

The spec says.
 "... a resource adapter may attempt to deliver messages during the
 endpointActivation method call. It is up to the application server to decide
 whether to allow message delivery before activation is completed. If the application
 server chooses to prevent message delivery during endpoint activation, it may block
 the createEndpoint method call until the activation is completed or throw an
 UnavailableException."

This has resulted in some containers allowing the creation of message endpoints inside the endpointActivation method and others throwing an UnavailableException.. I can see the benefits of dedicating a work or timer task to handle this, but seems that life would be simplier if this were defined in a less optional manner.. Else folk like me have to rewrite to deploy to different platforms..

[Mark] I'll keep an eye on whats going on with the spec. One issue that keeps popping up when writing resource adapters, is that tighter integration with the java.util.conncurrent package would be nice..

[Siva] Yes, this would be useful. JSR 236 is already planning to address this at a platform level.

[Mark] Another gripe with 1.5 is the Unavailable exception thrown on endpointActivation messageEndpointFactory.createEndpoint.. if endpointActivation is invoked, it seems reasonable to expect that the endpoint can be created. I know this isn't the case with all containers.

[Siva] An UnavailableException may be thrown by the container to control the number of endpoints created. Were you trying to create endpoints as part of endpointActivation() method? If yes, Section 12.4.4. of Connectors 1.5 spec allows an AS to block or throw an endpointActivation at that time.

Please keep your comments coming. You could also send the comments to the JSR comments alias email@example.com

Thanks

HI Sivakumar

I'll keep an eye on whats going on with the spec. One issue that keeps popping up when writing resource adapters, is that tighter integration with the java.util.conncurrent package would be nice..

If the workmanager returned an ExecuterService, release behaviour could be managed using completion services etc. Rather than release which seems to need manual invocation.

Another gripe with 1.5 is the Unavailable exception thrown on endpointActivation messageEndpointFactory.createEndpoint.. if endpointActivation is invoked, it seems reasonable to expect that the endpoint can be created. I know this isn't the case with all containers.

The mandatory ManagedConnectionFactory (MCF) and ManagedConnection (MC) also creates a bit if confusion (at least it confuses me).. Most of the time, the createConnectionFactory() method is the only method that gets used. Some default implementations could help here, and an interface thats not javax.resource.cci to implement to ensure that hand rolled connection factories and connections can be managed. If there is no MCF defined on the ra.xml then a default can be used, returning a connectionfactory instance from createConnectionFactory.

Hi Mark: Unfortunately there are no RSS feeds to track JSR progress in the jcp.org site. You might want to use the following to track progress on this JSR.

- The Aquarium blog. Entries are tagged javaee6
 http://blogs.sun.com/theaquarium/tags/javaee6.
 Unfortunately, the aquarium uses tags instead of categories for javaee6 posts and I don't know how I can get an atom feed for only javaee6 tagged entries.

Is there an RSS I can link to in order to stay up to date on the spec progress (if its one of the aquarium announcements I'll already see it). For me JCA is the unsung hero of JEE, we've been working with resource adapters a lot. Seeing how the JSR group reasons might help my insight.

Like I said before, its not so much the spec, but also the coverage in terms of books etc. The only book I've got is the spec regurgitated (J2EE Connector Architecture and Enterprise Application Integration) which in itself is okay, but some other stuff around would be nice . For some reason EJB3 and JPA took the lime light, when in reality the possibilities provided by JCA are far greater.

Ryan: Thanks for your comments. For your usecase, as Mark had suggested, you might want to look at using an SPI instead of CCI. The CCI defines a standard client API for application components and thereby enables
 components to interact across heterogeneous EISs through a common client API. However not all resource adapters need to implement a CCI API. A domain-specific SPI is recommended in this case. For example JMS RAs (eg: http://genericjmsra.dev.java.net ) usually provide a JMS interface to their application components.

FWIW, I compiled some resources to get started on the capabilities provided by the Connectors spec today in answer to a forum question and it is available at: http://forums.java.net/jive/message.jspa?messageID=234194#234194
 HTH.

Mark: Thanks for your comments. Yes, One of the areas we intend to address in this version of the specification is to bring in Java EE 5 style common programming model to ease development of resource adapters. This should turn up in the next drafts. We would love to hear your feedback on those drafts.

I bought a book on JCA a couple years ago so that I could write my RA. It was the newest book and already out of date. I had to figure out the differences in ra.xml to get my adapter working. There needs to be an up to date book written on JCA.

Thanks for the tip about NOT using javax.resource.cci. I never considered creating my own API. I've been wanting to make some changes to clean my RA up a bit, and also wondering if it really should be written as a JBI component. I would like to see a page or chart that helps me compare and contract JCA with JBI to help me decide when to use which.

The JCA 1.5 spec isn't missing that many features, but its failed to drum up the same amount of interest as other areas of JEE like EJB and JPA. Where every Tom, Dick and Harry is writing books and articles on EJBs etc, JCA has been skimmed over, or the available resources are lacking. This is kind of strange as JCA allows you to talk to things that aren't databases and message queues (albeit often these are enabled by means of resource adapters).

Hopefully the new spec will be clearer on how to write adapters that enlist transactions, and make the connection factory stuff less painful. Its all there in 1.5, just too tortured.

BTW Ryan you dont need to use all that javax.resource.cci (its the grimmest api i've ever tried to get my head around), the rest of the JCA stuff is the useful stuff.
 https://blogs.oracle.com/sivakumart/entry/connectors_1_6_early_draft#comment-1220607755000 Re: Connectors 1.6 Early Draft Specification now available! Ryan de Laplante 2008-09-05T09:42:35+00:00 2008-09-05T09:42:35+00:00
I used JCA 1.5 to create a connector for a client/server system over sockets using a proprietary protocol. I did not like the words used in the API, such as a "record". In my case records are request messages, and response messages. This makes my source code confusing to people trying to learn it.

Also I had to hack up my own way for synchronous messaging. When a client of the JCA connector asks for something I needed it to block until the response is received or a timeout, then return with the data. Why? So that I could use it in a web application.

Tom,

Yes, there were some very good discussions during the presentation. Here is the information you asked for:
 Using an example:
 Production version of SJSAS that is available today is 9.1UR1. The version that is being developed is 9.1.1. SJSAS 9.1.1 shares the same code base as GlassFish v2.1. Until GlassFish v2.1 is released, SJSAS 9.1.1 can't be released. Since, GlassFish v2.1 is developed in open source, it is not \*entirely\* controlled by Sun. How does Sun then come up with a road map (including feature set based on customer feedback) for 9.1.1 and commit to a schedule that its customers can rely on?

Thanks,
 Sahoo

Siva,

This is what I understood the question to be:
 "given Sun's commercial application server (Sun Java System Application Server 9.x) shares the same source code as GlassFish project, how does Sun manage the schedule and roadmap of its commercial product?"

While the question was answered very well for the sustaining scenario, it is not so easy for the development version.

Full Platter:
It's looking like Nicki Minaj has added yet another alter ego to her collection of eccentric multiple personalities/characters... According to reports, the Young Money rapstress is NOT really a Republican so quit the hype. She played us all, apparently.
Nicki recently thanked the big guy in charge on Twitter after he was asked about his thoughts on her alleged Romney endorsement.
Rumors of Nicki being a Republican surfaced after she pretty much said that she was indeed a Republican in one of her verses, "I'm a Republican voting for Mitt Romney, you lazy b****es is f***ing up the economy."
When asked about these claims, Obama told Orlando radio station, Power 95.3: "I think she had a song on there, a little rap that said that, but she likes to play different characters," he explained, pointing out her alter ego. "So I don't know what's going on there."
Of course, Nicki was quick to reply to Mr. Pres and thanked him for understanding her clear sarcasm... (However, with all of these different characters inside of you girl, how do we know which one to listen to, or what to believe and when to believe it?) Oh, the #MysteriesInLife.
She tweeted: "Ha! Thank you for understanding my creative humor & sarcasm Mr. President, the smart ones always do... *sends love & support*. Awesome! Now I can tell my grandchildren that the 1st black President of the United States took the time to address a Nicki Minaj question."
What do you think, Mocha lovers? Just an attempt to get more attention? What about Obama's response? Could Nicki possibly be a closeted Republican? Let us know.

In her February 1999 feature, "Sim-Factory," contributing editor Caren Potter concluded that software for simulating production processes may eventually—like CAD—become a tool no manufacturing company can compete without. Well, that prediction may come to pass sooner than expected, if the number of factory-simulation product introductions by vendors at the recent Computer Technology Solutions (CTS) exhibition, formerly known as Autofact, is any indication.

20 Million Indians Suffer Serious Mental Disorders With Most Hidden From Public View
by Aruna on June 11, 2009 at 11:09 AM Indian Health News - G J E 4
For many patients at the Sanjali rehabilitation center in New Delhi, why they are there or how they lived before chronic mental illness took over their lives cannot be understood.
They are among the lucky few in India to receive regular treatment in a country where mental illness carries a huge stigma and psychiatric hospitals can be severe and frightening institutions.
AdvertisementExperts estimate around 20 million Indians suffer serious mental disorders, with most hidden from public view by their families.
For many Indians, their first instinct when symptoms of mental illness begin to manifest themselves in their relatives is to seek a spiritual explanation for the sudden change in behavior.
Families in denial will often take their loved ones to temples or faith healers, both of which abound across the country.
India does have some half-way houses that serve as temporary shelters for destitute and homeless mentally ill people, but there are few long-term options for families who are unable to look after their kin.
Nimesh Desai, head of psychiatry at the New Delhi-based Institute of Human Behavior and Allied Sciences, estimates India has fewer than 4,000 psychiatrists, and even fewer general mental health professionals.
"The lack of psychiatrists is bad and the shortage of psychologists, social workers and counselors is even more alarming," said Desai. "It meets about five to seven percent of the projected need."
One reason is a reluctance among young medical students to pursue a career in mental health. While India prides itself on churning out thousands of world-class doctors and surgeons, there is no prestige in psychiatry.
"The shame and stigma that is attached to mental illness is also attached to a mental health doctor," said Naveen Kumar from the Manas Foundation, a mental health charity.
"Though we have one of the largest pools of medical professionals, they are not geared toward dealing with mental health problems.
"It leaves mental patients at the mercy of the faith healers who exist on every street corner and in every village of India (who) are supposed to have magic healing powers."
Common treatments include inducing the patient into a trance or even physical abuse, said Kumar.
While many mental health problems can be easily treated at the primary care level, general practitioners are not adequately trained to tackle them and are unable to refer patients to specialists.
Kumar said only five to 10 percent of Indians are "psychologically aware" enough to seek help in the first place, and many families believe going to a doctor for mental illnesses is a sign of weakness.
Instead, age-old religious rituals and superstitions that have passed through generations are often relied on, and religious shrines are regularly packed with devotees looking to rid a family member of a "curse".
"Only when you find that the person is not improving or there are other complications will you even consider going to a general practitioner," said Kumar.
Here at the Sanjali center patients suffering from schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and psychosis are unfortunate in their illness but lucky to have families who have recognized their problems and sought professional help.
Sanjali offers a varied day therapy program aimed at helping patients live as normally as possible outside the clinic, said co-ordinator Simrita Chaudhry.
While patients take medication to curb symptoms, the center's goal is to rehabilitate people so they can re-enter society and the workforce, she said, adding however that by the time many are brought here it is often too late.
"Only a small number are discharged every year," said Chaudhry.
In an airy, clean environment, the day patients join in musical activities, games, drawing classes and light exercise such as bowling in a makeshift alley.
Among the center's regulars is 64-year-old Pallavi, not her real name, who had a bright future as a junior doctor until she suffered a nervous breakdown and was eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Now receiving a combination of medication and therapy, she remembers nothing about her life as a young wife and mother, but is quick to express the paranoia symptomatic of her illness.
"People don't respect me," she whispered, her eyes darting around the room.
The secrecy surrounding mental illness in India, plus the serious shortage of mental health professionals, means many people must suffer in silence.
Most patients at Sanjali come from wealthy families in south Delhi who can afford the daily fee of 100 rupees and have some understanding of the problem.
Denial cuts across classes, but Desai said attitudes are slowly changing, partly thanks to government and private education campaigns, as well as the impact of globalization.
"Even so-called middle-class, educated people will first go to a shrine such as Ajmer in Rajasthan if there's a mental health problem," said Desai.
"But Indian society and government is becoming more and more internationalized in its outlook (and) one of the positive fall-outs of it is the acceptance of issues of mental health."
At Sanjali, the huge burden of mental illness on families is clear.
Jagdish, also not his real name, is a 48-year-old schizophrenic who has been coming to the center every day for 11 years.
He trembles as he slumps forward in his chair, but cheerfully says: "I like coming here."
Yet as secure and tranquil as it seems, Sanjali's safety net cannot be taken for granted.
"We don't have any facilities to offer life-long, full-time rehab," said Chaudhry.
"Tomorrow when the families are no longer there to look after them at home, what happens to these people?"

Katana will now include a full RenderMan license as standard, along with a base set of shaders and free Katana batch render licenses to help get the most out of any RenderMan pipeline. The results of these efforts will be released to all customers inside future releases of Katana.
"RenderMan represents the pinnacle of rendering technology and Katana represents the state of the art in lighting," says RenderMan Business Director Chris Ford at Pixar. "At Pixar we are proud of how we achieve excellence in look development and our collaboration sets a new standard for lighting and rendering that complements our extensive investment in RenderMan Studio for Katana. Our end goal is to help create production-efficient software that is not only loved by artists, but also produces the amazing quality that Pixar's RenderMan is known for."
The Foundry's Katana lighting tool and Pixar's RenderMan, for visual effects and animation rendering, were employed together on Disney/Pixar's acclaimed short, "The Blue Umbrella," now playing in theaters with Monsters University. The successful outcome involved significant dedicated engineering effort from both parties, not only to better support RenderMan workflows, but to build new features into Katana itself, based upon Pixar's own creative expertise and production-proven technology, according to a spokesperson.
"We are thrilled to be working with some of the world's most creative talent at Pixar as well as the RenderMan team. This development cements Katana's already impressive pedigree for a piece of commercially available software--this really is the best of innovative lighting in production today," says Bill Collis, CEO of The Foundry.
Every Katana customer will receive one RenderMan Pro Server license incorporated into the first 10 Katana interactive desktop licenses as part of the base package. Each of these Katana interactive licenses will also come with 10 free Katana batch licenses to support any additional RenderMan renderers on the render-farm.

August 11: In the morning we hiked up to Mutnyi lake (3600m) below Chimtarga peak, where we established our camp for two nights. In the afternoon, I went to VAA pass (4100m, SE of Mutnyi lake), which dominates the Kaznok river on its southern side. A few days later we will be hiking along Kaznok river.

August 15-16: On the 15th, while Slava and Mishra were resting, I did a reconnaissance trip South of Big Allo lake by climbing Amshut Ninji pass (4380m). This pass faces Dvoinoi pass that we were to cross two days later. On the 16th I partially retraced the same path with Slava and Mishra to bring our camp just below Dvoinoi pass.

They were from Penjikent, spending several consecutive weeks in the mountains to watch over several herds of sheep and goats. In the top-right photo the two bags made of sheep skin are used to ferment yoghourt. The dogs of the shepherds are not very big, but they are very mean and totally fearless, as they have been trained to protect herds against bears and wolves. Slava, Mishra, and I were always courageously staying closely together in the presence of such dogs.

We then followed Archamaidan river further down to Gazza village, which is accessible by car. We spent our last night near this village. At the beginning of the day we crossed the path of my 2004 trek between Munora and Tavasang passes. This is roughly where Kaznok river becomes Sarymat river.

"So that is what you have reduced yourself to Umbar? I thought you'd at least have enough common sense not to join the Seren after what we once talked about,"
Orpheus heard, looking up he noticed someone he hadn't seen in quite some time.
"Ah, Ol' Juhn, how nice to see you, how long has it been? Two...three centuries?....And what was
that we talked about? As I seem to recall, in everyone's books, I'm a sith, and those in those people's books there's nothing more reduced, or lower than a sith," Orpheus said in smug sardonic retort.
Orpheus turned his attention back to the man at hand, who replied to something Orpheus said earlier,
"my arrogance is backed with confidence, I assure you."
"I have no doubt, but you mistook what I said on account of your age, you look young, but I know your true colors, or at least as much as you
me to know about you....not that you want me to know anything, but I'm not ignorant," Orpheus replied to the man.
"You heard the lady, it's time to tango, maybe if you've got some skill I might spare you,"
the man said, getting into a ready stance.
"As the new challenger, I say it would only be polite if you go first. Make your move."
"Alright, Mr. Confident, my move is.....tactical standstill," Orpheus told him neutrally, only standing there leaning on his
walking staff a little more. "Now it's your turn," Orpheus finished, smirking a little to himself.
"But in you...I see the potential to see the Force die, to turn away from its will..."
"You are beautiful to me, exile. A dead spot in the Force, an emptiness in which its will might be denied."
"But no Jedi ever made the choice you did. To sever ties so completely, so utterly, that it leaves a wound in the Force..."

Redshirt-Sophomore Rob Segedin Hit His Fourth Home Run in his Last Five Games at LSU
April 14, 2010
Box Score (PDF) | Season Statistics (PDF)
BATON ROUGE, La. - Rob Segedin pushed the Tulane baseball team out to an early 3-0 lead on Wednesday evening at Alex Box Stadium, but the #8 LSU Tigers would rally to post a 10-4 victory in the non-conference tilt. A pair of Green Wave players posted multi-hit games, but the Olive and Blue could not score over the final six innings in the loss.
"When you jump out early here, you certainly feel better than if you fall behind," said Tulane head coach Rick Jones "For the majority of our club it was their first time in this situation and the majority of their guys have been in (this situation) many times before and I think that showed tonight. They are a very experienced and very talented club. We are not going to use the youth card anymore...so we have to learn from this and just move on. We have to build on it, get better and string some things together if we are going to get to the postseason."
The Green Wave opened the scoring in the first inning versus LSU starting pitcher Joey Bourgeios as Brandon Boudreaux flew out for the first out of the contest, but the next three Wave batters would reach base. Matt Ryan walked and moved to third on a well executed hit-and-run by Blake Crohan to put runners on the corners with one out. Segedin then took the first pitch he saw from Bourgeios and sent it sailing into the left field bleachers for his seventh home run of the season, giving the Olive and Blue a 3-0 lead.
Mikie Mahtook opened the scoring for LSU in the first at-bat for the Tigers with his seventh home run of the season against Tulane starter Alex Byo. After Byo retired the next two batters, LSU strung four straight singles together to pull the game even at 3-3. Leon Landry and Tyler Hanover each plated RBI's in the frame and the game headed to the second inning knotted at three runs apiece.
Boudreaux extended his hitting streak to 15 games with a single to start the third inning, moved to second on a Ryan sacrifice bunt and scored on a Crohan double to left field. Byo would work into some trouble in the third, however, and the Tigers would capitalize.
Micah Gibbs walked with one out in the inning and came around to score on a pair of wild pitches and a passed ball to even up the contest. Matt Gaudet reached via walk and crossed the plate on a Hanover double into the right-center field gap. That ended the outing for Byo and Ryan Doiron collected the final out of the frame with a groundball to first base.
LSU extended their lead in the fourth with run producing singles from Blake Dean and Landry to stake to an 8-4 lead. The Tigers added two more runs in the fifth against Doiron and Matt Petition as Mahtook plated a pair of runs with a single up the middle to make it a 10-4 lead in favor of the home team.
Petiton and Drew Zizinia would combine to throw the final three innings scoreless, but the Green Wave couldn't scratch a run across against the LSU bullpen.
Seven different LSU pitchers combined to hold the Tulane offense to six hits and just ten base runners on the night.
Nick Boullosa and Crohan each posted a pair of hits in the contest, with Crohan accounting for the other Tulane RBI in the game. Segedin pushed his second RBI total to 33 with his seventh longball of the season and extended his hitting streak to eight games. Garrett Cannizaro and Ryan each reached base via walk in the game, while the Brandon Boudreaux single accounted for the remainder of the Tulane offense.
The Green Wave fall to 21-13 overall on the season and will entertain the Rebels of UNLV during their Conference USA off weekend. The first pitch on Friday, April 16 is scheduled for 6:30 and tickets are available online at www.tulanegreenwave.com or by calling the Ticket Office at (504) 861-WAVE.

Increasing Europe's climate ambition will be good for the EU economy and jobs
Business welcomes the strong public endorsement given to the 30% greenhouse gas reduction target by Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and UK. Moving to a 30% emissions reduction target by 2020 is a win-win-win for Europe. As well as the numerous economic and social benefits of cutting greenhouse gas emissions, it will spur innovation and investment thus creating millions of new jobs in a low carbon economy.
Businesses call for the EU to prepare to increase its greenhouse gas reduction target to 30% by 2020 to drive low carbon investment:
- Climate action will boost economic growth and create new jobs
- The EU needs the right policies to maintain its leadership and competitiveness in the global low carbon economy
- The EU must ensure energy security through greater low carbon energy investments
- The EU needs to invest now for tomorrow's technology and infrastructure to avoid high carbon 'lock-in' and the financial risk of needing to engineer a rapid shift away from such stranded assets
- The recession has made emissions cuts easier and cheaper but market incentives are required to spur action
- 'Carbon leakage' should be evaluated and concerns addressed based on real facts and data about competitiveness
The following businesses have explicitly supported this Joint Declaration so far: Acciona, Adolfo Dominguez, Allianz, Alpro, Arjowiggins graphic, Arkadin, ASDA, Atkins, Aviva, Aviva Investors, Barilla, Better Place, BNP Paribas, Boralex, BSH Bosch Siemens Hausgeraete, British Telecom, BSkyB, Capgemini, Carrefour, Centrica, Climate Change Capital, The Coca-Cola Company, Coca-Cola Enterprises, Coca-Cola Hellenic, Crédit Agricole, Danfoss, Danone, DHV Group, DONG Energy, Electrolux, Elopak, Eneco, Eurostar, F&C Asset Management, Ferrero, First Solar, Google, Groupe Bouygues, H&M, If P&C Insurance Company Ltd, IKEA, InterfaceFLOR, John Lewis Partnership, Johnson Controls Inc, Kingfisher, Lafuma, Mango, Marks and Spencer, National Grid, Nestlé, Nike, Nokia Siemens Networks, Novo Nordisk, Philips, PUMA, Rockwool, RSA, Scottish and Southern Energy, SKAI Group of Companies, Sony Europe, SPIE, Standard Life, Sveaskog, Swiss Re, Tesco, Thames Water, The Co-operative Group, Tryg, Unicredit, Unilever, United Biscuits, Velux, Vestas, VINCI Autoroutes, Vodafone, Willmott Dixon Re-Thinking Limited and WSP Group.

15:45, UK, Wednesday 23 January 2008
Ministers are to be shown the results of a lie detector test carried out on a 21-year-old Liverpool supporter who was convicted of the attempted murder of a Bulgarian waiter.
Supporters of Michael Shields hope the test will help to convince politicians the young fan has been the victim of a miscarriage of justice.
Shields was returning from his team's 2005 Champions League Victory in Istanbul when he was accused of throwing a brick at Martin Georgiev in the Black Sea resort of Varna.
The 21-year-old, who was convicted over the attack, is serving the remainder of his 10-year sentence at Garth Prison near Preston, where he took a lie detector test in December.
Don Cargill, from the British Polygraph Association, carried out the test and told Sky News Online: "First he was assessed by a forensic psychologist.
"We then ran through a number of test questions to make sure that the key questions can be accurately assessed."
He said Shields seemed nervous but happy during the three-hour test that culminated in these three key questions:
"Did you, Michael Shields, hit Martin Georgiev on the head with a brick on 30th May 2005?
"Were you involved in anyway in the assault before he was hit on the head?
"Were you at the scene of the assault on Mr Georgiev?"
Michael Shields answered "No" to all three - and the polygraph indicated that he was telling the truth, Mr Cargill said.
He added: "It was a severe and rigorous test and he passed - in my opinion we have an innocent boy in prison."
Although the results would not be admissible evidence in court, campaigners in Liverpool believe that they add weight to their long battle.
Councillor Joe Anderson said: "We feel this is very significant, given that the British Government have allowed the test to happen, it is another milestone for us."
Michael Shields' supporters will now meet Justice Secretary Jack Straw and hand over the results and a dossier of information which includes details of a witness who is willing to fly to give evidence in Bulgaria.
The Bulgarian President has said new evidence will be given consideration.

A pioneer in the fashion tech market, Everpurse announced today April 22, the launch of their new fashion tech accessory for women, Mini by Everpurse. After the successful launch of the Everpurse Kickstarter campaign back in 2012, The Mini by Everpurse only seemed like the next natural step in the line of fashion tech accessories.
The Mini by Everpurse looks like a wallet but its so much more than that. The wallet is actually a cellphone charger for your iPhone 5/5s (plans to expand to support top selling Android phones and the iPhone 6 are in the works) with all the components of a wallet. Wherever you go, whatever your doing, you'll always have a charger on hand. Just like the Everpurse, the Mini has an aluminum safe docking system which nestles the phone while allowing the user to continue using all its functions. The hard-shell Mini can carry cash, credit cards and ID, like any other wallet with its accordion and zip pockets inside. Each Mini style comes in one size, includes a wristlet and shoulder strap and is small enough to fit inside a handbag, briefcase or shoulder bag.
'Convenient, easy to use and a bold statement piece, Mini is for the trendy woman who needs to stay constantly connected and has no time to mess with charging cords. We provide that stunning fashion piece that powers her world,' said Liz Salcedo, CEO of Everpurse who co-founded the company when she was a social worker constantly on the go. 'Mini represents the next step in our mission to stay at the forefront of the fashion tech industry with beautiful, innovative products. There is no other company out there seamlessly integrating this kind of cutting-edge technology with absolutely gorgeous fashion.'
One of the difference between the Everpurse and the Mini is that you no longer need a to worry about having a place to plug in your charging mat since the charger is built into the Mini in the form of the clasp. The clasp doubles as a USB connector, so users can charge the wallet itself at any USB outlet at any time making it more convenient for women on the go. Also the charging capacity is doubled. With the Mini by Everpurse it will charge your iPhone for 48 hours for a longer battery life. It's the perfect accessory for business women, moms, college students; just about anyone who is constantly connected to technology and who leads a busy life. And with a 48 hour charge, there's no need to worry about carrying cords or trying to find an outlet to plug into.
In a conversation with CEO of Everpurse, Liz Salcedo, you can tell how excited she was on the release of the Mini by Everpurse and expressed that the idea came from tons of customer feedback coupled with the goal to create fashion tech accessories that are accessible to everyone. Eventually we may see the Everpurse in accessories for men as well as collaborations with high end fashion designers like Coach as Everpurse continues to pave the way for fashion tech accessories.
The Mini is available on pre-order today on Everpurse.com and will begin shipping summer 2014. This first Mini collection is offered for $129, with an early bird price of $98 ending on May 6. The Mini comes in three fashion colors of black, gold an turquoise. If the success of the completely sold out 2013 collection of Everpurse clutches is any indication of how much the customers love Everpurse, the Mini may too become sold out so best to head on over and order yours before it's too late!

It was brought to my attention that I was mistaken with the orgin of this soup. Big thank you to Calissa Lazowicki for handing down this recipe and for clearing up that mistake. Credit is due where it is earned. And also thank you for sharing your post on Facebook and getting my blog more traffic.
The funniest part about this recipe is my husband doesn't like tomatoes but he LOVES this soup! This soup is really that good! :)
2 15oz. cans of diced tomatoes (I use the kind with green chilies in them)
1 small can of diced chilies
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 soup can of water
2 cups of chicken broth
1-2 boneless skinless chicken breast, diced and cooked
Shredded cheese
Flour tortillas, cut into small strips
tortilla chips
For the chicken part of this recipe, I dice up a chicken breast and cook it on medium heat in water. No need adding oil or other fats to this recipe, save that for the toppings!
Place the first 6 ingredients in the crock pot and let simmer on low for 3-4 hours. Mix a few times to break up the cream of chicken soup.
When ready to serve, place a handful of the flour tortilla strips in the bottom of your soup bowl. Spoon soup into bowl, top with shredded cheese and mix. Top with crumbled tortilla chips and serve!
|cooking the chicken in water
|stir well
|flour tortilla strips
|almost ready...
|best. soup. ever!
On a side note, if you don't eat all your soup or tend to "over cheese" like me, you want to make sure you rinse out your bowl right away or soak in hot soapy water to break up the melted cheese stuck on the bottom of the bowl and spoon. I rarely have this problem, but sometimes it just happens.

David Rosenfelt's latest, "Without Warning," is brimming with his usual great stuff: tightly wound plot; surprising revelations as that plot unfolds; superbly drawn and well-developed characters; breezy humor intertwined with dark suspense; subtle clues that lead to the inevitable unmasking of the bad guy; vibrant, authentic-sounding dialogue and narration; and a fascinating back story.
A few details: The protagonist is Jake Robbins, the police chief in the small, sleepy town of Wilton, Maine. Jake's back story itself sounds like a whole novel. His wife has been murdered, and the man convicted of the crime, Roger Hagel, had been one of Jake's close friends. To make matters worse – and even more complicated – Hagel had been having an affair with Jake's wife before the murder. But she had ended it. So Hagel has been convicted of a crime of passion and sent to prison, where he is murdered. His wife, Katie Sanford, is the editor of the local newspaper, but she had an affair with Jake when they were both teenagers. So there are all kinds of sparks flying between Jake and Katie.
But the real story, the real mystery, begins when a buried capsule containing predictions of future events in Wilton suddenly turns up after a major storm. One of the sets of predictions is different from all the others. It had been anonymously placed in the capsule, and its contents are eerie, violent and absolutely accurate. It tells of murders, fires, accidents, and other tragic events, and many of the predictions are riddles. Only a couple are direct and easily understood. And they have already happened.
As Chief of Police, it is Jake's job to find the killer, the "Predictor," and to figure out the riddles in order to keep future murders and "accidents" from happening.
It seems that almost anyone in the main cast of characters may be the culprit; but whoever the real murderer is, that person is brilliant, cruel, deceitful, and virtually impossible to identify. And the murders just keep on comin'.
Rosenfelt's ability to build suspense is peerless, and the events of the plot never strain the reader's credulity. Best of all, the clues to the murderer's identity are all there, but we don't see them as clues until Rosenfelt finally reveals the solutions to all the mysteries.
Another of his talents is his superb narrative technique. Jake, the hero, is the narrator of much of the story, but other chapters are written in third person. In every case, however, and for every character, Rosenfelt expertly takes us inside their minds. We see what each of them sees, and we know everything they know and everything they do not know. The technique makes each character come alive and also makes for terrific irony shooting out in all directions.
Incidentally, on second reading of the novel, I saw cleverly placed clues which I hadn't recognized as clues at all on first reading. So that second reading leads to several "AHA!" moments.
It's all extraordinarily clever, as is the author himself.
For a fascinating reading experience that you will find both amusing and edge-of-your-seat suspenseful, read "Without Warning" or any other David Rosenfelt novel. You won't be sorry, but you may be up all night.

Apple launches the white Iphone 4
It does matter if it's black or white
SHINY TOY FANBOIS are rejoicing as the white Iphone 4 will hit the shores of Blighty tomorrow.
Apparently the world has been waiting for Apple to release the white Iphone 4 to the market and the cappuccino company tells us that it is beautiful. But the company is running out of colour ideas because all the fruit themed marketing types have to offer is white and, well, black.
The Iphone is about the only Ithing that hasn't been dipped in Apple's white livery yet so it was only a matter of time before the gadget maker figured out how to make them. But no matter, it will undoubtedly go on to sell in the millions.
Apple will roll out the white Iphone 4 in the UK tomorrow and nearly everywhere else. As usual, Apple expects us to guess UK pricing but it will go for $199 in the US for the 16GB model and $299 for the 32GB version.
Apple also announced that the WiFi enabled Ipad 2 will launch in Asia starting this week.
The shiny white Ipad 2 is due to hit Asian outlets starting with Japan tomorrow. Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore and eight additional countries will follow on 29 April. Finally, China buyers will get their hands on the Ipad 2 from 6 May through Apple's own stores and selected resellers.
Apple has finally got around to releasing the feature set that should have graced the first Ipad so Asian punters will get the WiFi, WiFi+ and 3G flavours with either 16GB, 32GB or 64GB. But there is still no Flash support for Ipad 2 fanbois. Apple hasn't announced regionalised pricing for the Ipad 2 yet but, it's likely to be cheaper in Asia than it is in the UK.
What we can't work out is how Apple's allocating its stock. Demand for the Ipad 2 has been through the roof, despite the high-cost. Last week long queues were still forming outside Apple's flagship London store as shortages lingered. Resellers have also had stocking issues as UK and US stores reportedly have run out of the Ipad 2.
Apple will have stock reserved for certain locations and will probably have more Ipad 2 devices awaiting delivery to Asian countries.
But why doesn't it do UK fanbois a favour and ship more Ipad 2 tablets here? The cappuccino company has seen record results over the second quarter of this year, so you'd think it would put some of that money into actually producing more units.
Or maybe it just can't meet the demand, which after all is not a bad problem for a corporate flogger of overpriced gadgets made by thousands of young Chinese people working at nearly slave labour to have. µ

It was an overcast day with light rain in the afternoon; after a low of 47 at Philly International Airport we reached 50 with an onshore wind all day and even some light rain(0.03") by the 5pm climate report(a final report is issued around 2am).
Overnight lows will be in the lower to middle 40s with moderate to heavy rain which will last through Wednesday as highs will be around 60. Throughout the day there may be 1-2" of rain possible so flash flood watches are posted through the region for that region. A warm front will push through overnight into Thursday so temperatures will rise a few degrees with continued showers and even thunderstorms! This will lead to highs in the afternoon on Thursday in the middle and upper 70s! There is still a risk of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon as the cold front pushes through overnight.
Friday will be in the upper 60s with a partly sunny sky and an outside chance for rain as the upper level low pushes eastward; over the weekend we stay in the upper 60s with a mixture of sunshine and clouds as another disturbance passes by to the north, but there may be some showers the further north and west you go.

We don't even have a tape player anymore, but we can't help but feel nostalgic for the good ol' mixtape. In the care packages we sent to our best friend (who moved out of state) there was always a tape with some horrible assortment of teen angst music. While those days are past, we still love the idea of getting a mixtape. Even if, nowadays, it comes in the form of a stamp. The Mixtape Stamp Kit ($20) is perfect for making labels, gift tags, or cool handmade wrapping paper. Long live the mixtape!

The Power of the Happiness Factor
Last week, a group of folks from Finger Lakes Community College were fortunate enough to attend a lecture by Shawn Achor, author of the book The Happiness Advantage. I had read the book, but Shawn's genuine passion for his research in the field of positive psychology was fascinating. His basic premise is that most of us think about how a person achieves happiness in a backwards way. We think that if we work hard, move ahead in our careers and achieve success, then we will be happy. Shawn's research shows a very different picture. His message is that people who are positive thinkers are significantly more likely to experience career success. In other words, the optimistic outlook is a driver of success...so happiness leads to success, rather than success being the factor that makes us happy.
The other very interesting component of Shawn's message is that people who do not seem naturally inclined to be positive thinkers can actually - through a change in their habits - cultivate an optimistic point of view. He had a number of specific suggestions of small things a person can do every day that, over time, will lead to a change in outlook. While I had certainly heard about some of these things before, the new twist is that Shawn actually has the research findings to back up the power of incorporating these changes into a daily routine. He suggested several strategies, all of which are effective. Of course, it isn't necessary to do all of them - adding one or two will make a big difference over time. Here are some of the strategies Shawn suggested:
1. Take just a few minutes to write down every day three things that are positive in your life - three things for which you are grateful. It should be more than "I'm grateful for my cat" - more like "I'm grateful that my cat likes to sit on my lap every night and purr because it makes me feel calm and relaxed."
2. When you pull out your computer for the day, go right to your email and send a brief positive message to a friend or co-worker, or pick up the phone and call. Your social network is very important, so take the time to reach out to those who support you.
3. Exercise every day. It is a great stress reliever and, over time, will help build a positive outlook.
4. Start a journal. Every day take just a few minutes to think about one thing that happened over the last 24 hours that was a positive experience. Then write in your journal about just that one event - but do it in great detail. Include a description of the setting, what you were wearing, what was said, what you saw, how you felt, etc.
I tend to have a pretty positive outlook, and I always thought it was just my natural inclination. One of the most interesting things about what I heard in last week's lecture was that I already do three of these things every day, and have for most of my life.
It's odd how in life sometimes you get the feeling that someone is trying to send you a message and you better pay attention. I had an experience like that this weekend. While I still was percolating about the happiness advantage lecture, over the weekend I visited my mother in Syracuse. We were going through some of my dad's papers that she hadn't been able to sort through since he passed away more than a year ago. I came upon a random piece of paper, clearly ripped out of a spiral notebook. On one side, my dad had made a "to do" list for a day in 1988. But the message was on the other side of the paper. He must have ripped a paper out of a notebook where he had written down things he wanted to remember from when he took the Dale Carnegie course - The Power of Positive Thinking. Here's what he had written down:
The habit of postive thinking... A replacement of negative thoughts with thoughts of confidence, courage and inner peace, achieved by mental discipline and constant training. Seek new friendships, think positive thoughts, avoid emotional stress, yearn for spiritual understanding, open your mind to new ideas, utilize your natural talents, take frequent walks, find a new interest, understand your limitations, lubricate your life with enthusiasm.
My dad took that course in the 1950s, and I was struck by how similar the message was to the now research-based work of Shawn Achor. A positive approach to life is a powerful thing, and this week that message came to me loud and clear.

This fellow can often be found, sitting quietly, hour after hour, on Broadway between 79th and 80th Street.
Note: this photo was published in a Sep 4, 2009 Change.org blog titled "5 Things You Absolutely Must Know About Homelessness." It was also published in a Mar 31, 2010 Washington Area Women's Foundation blog, titled "Giving Back to the Homeless." And it was published in a Sep 21, 2011 Huffington Post blog titled "Hunger In Chicago: Study Shows 1 In 5 Chicagoans Aren't Sure Where They'll Find Their Next Meal." It was also published in a Nov 18, 2011 blog titled "Thanksgiving: Food for Thought . . . 'cause that's all some folks have [35 PICS]."
This is the continuation of a photo-project that I began in the summer of 2008: a random collection of "interesting" people in a broad stretch of the Upper West Side of Manhattan — between 72nd Street and 104th Street, especially along Broadway and Amsterdam Avenue.
As I indicated when I started this project in 2008, I don't like to intrude on people's privacy, so I normally use a telephoto lens in order to photograph them while they're still 50-100 feet away from me; but that means I have to continue focusing my attention on the people and activities half a block away, rather than on what's right in front of me.
I've also learned that, in many cases, the opportunities for an interesting picture are very fleeting — literally a matter of a couple of seconds, before the person(s) in question move on, turn away, or stop doing whatever was interesting. So I've learned to keep the camera switched on (which contradicts my traditional urge to conserve battery power), and not worry so much about zooming in for a perfectly-framed picture … after all, once the digital image is uploaded to my computer, it's pretty trivial to crop out the parts unrelated to the main subject.
Thus far, I've generally avoided photographing bums, drunks, crazies, and homeless people. There are a few of them around, and they would certainly create some dramatic pictures; but they generally don't want to be photographed, and I don't want to feel like I'm taking advantage of them. I'm still looking for opportunities to take some "sympathetic" pictures of such people, which might inspire others to reach out and help them. We'll see how it goes …
The only other thing I've noticed, thus far, is that while there are lots of interesting people to photograph, there are far, far, far more people who are not so interesting. They're probably fine people, and they might even be more interesting than the ones I've photographed … but there was just nothing memorable about them.

Works fine. Has some minor scratches and dents as seen in pics. Battery life is still great. The main issue is that the headphone jack stopped working. Sometimes I can wiggle it to make it work, but it's more or less shot. Still fine as a mini computer or use with airplay.
