Maloney, who spent 18 months at Villa Park, caught the eye as goals from Ivan Ramis, Emmerson Boyce and Arouna Kone earned the Latics a much-needed 3-0 win.
Martinez said: "Shaun Maloney is one of the most gifted players you can see in this league.
"He has a good eye for a pass but other than that he has moved to a different level.
"His performance against Villa was of the highest, highest level.
"This season is a reflection of what he did last season. I hope he gets a lot of recognition as he deserves all the credit.
"Maloney is a fine professional and a massive asset to Wigan."

NY Fashion Week Highlight: Markus Klinko & Indrani
For this multiple cover shoot with Hollywood "it" girl Olivia Wilde we decided to go for an updated movie star glam look, using classic giant tungsten (hot lights) rather than our usual high precision flash lighting.
The 20K tungsten created this gorgeous glow on Olivia, but from a technical perspective it was somewhat more difficult to deal with as I still insisted to shoot with the Leaf back set at 50 iso for the smoothest results.
Despite the blinding intensity of this giant light, the exposure was barely f5.6 at 125 and yet I still wanted to shoot the entire session handheld with the wonderful Mamiya 645 DF. The Mamiya Leaf camera system was up to the challenge and we ended up with a series of much talked about magazine covers.

Lifestyle changes (such as diet, weight control, exercise, and smoking cessation) are the first line of defense for treating unhealthy cholesterol levels. If levels still remain high, drug treatment is an effective next step. However, while statins have been shown to slow the rate of atherosclerotic progression, they have not yet been shown to reverse heart disease.
Reducing LDL ("bad" cholesterol) and total cholesterol levels, while at the same time boosting HDL ("good" cholesterol) levels, can prevent heart attacks and death in all people (with or without heart disease). Reducing LDL is the primary goal of most cholesterol therapy. Cholesterol-lowering medications are used along with healthy lifestyle habits, not in place of them. Lowering cholesterol levels with lifestyle changes and drug treatment has been shown to decrease the risk of heart attacks and other complications of atherosclerosis.
The National Cholesterol Education Program's (NCEP) clinical practice guidelines set treatment goals for LDL levels based on a patient's risk factors for heart disease. The risk factors include:
- Having a first-degree female relative diagnosed with heart disease before age 65 or a first-degree male relative diagnosed before age 55
- Being male and over age 45 or female and over age 55
- Cigarette smoking
- Diabetes
- High blood pressure
- Metabolic syndrome (risk factors associated with obesity such as low HDL levels and high triglycerides)
Two or more of these risk factors increases by 20% the chance of having a heart attack within 10 years.
The LDL cholesterol level is one of the most important factors in determining whether a patient needs cholesterol therapy and whether the treatment is working properly. In particular, guidelines emphasize lower LDL levels and earlier treatment for people with coronary artery disease, or other forms of atherosclerosis, and diabetes. (For a table of Cholesterol Goals for Adults, see Introduction section of this report.)
Although current cholesterol goals are extremely useful for most patients, sometimes results of the testing are difficult to interpret and make it difficult for doctors to decide on the appropriate treatment. This is especially true for patients whose test results show:
- Low LDL levels (which are protective) but also low HDL or high triglycerides (which are harmful)
- High total cholesterol levels (which are harmful) but also high HDL levels (which are protective)
Starting Medications. Even modest lowering of high cholesterol levels, whether through drug therapy or lifestyle changes, reduces the risk of disability and death from heart disease. Most drug treatment now focuses on lowering LDL ("bad") cholesterol. A doctor will start or consider medication, increase dosage of medication, or add new medication when a patient's:
- LDL cholesterol is 190 mg/dL or higher.
- LDL cholesterol is 160 mg/dL or higher AND patient has one risk factor for heart disease.
- LDL cholesterol is 130 mg/dL or higher AND patient has either diabetes or two other risk factors for heart disease.
- LDL cholesterol is 100 mg/dL or higher AND patient has heart disease. (If patient has diabetes, even without heart disease, medication may be considered for an LDL cholesterol of 100 mg/dL.)
- LDL cholesterol is greater than 70 mg/dL AND patient has had a recent heart attack or has known heart disease along with diabetes, current cigarette smoking, poorly controlled high blood pressure, or the metabolic syndrome (high triglycerides, low HDL, and obesity).
Statins are usually the first type of drug used. Statin therapy has been proven to decrease the risk of heart attack, stroke, and the need for coronary revascularization procedures.
In 2010, the FDA approved the statin drug rosuvastatin (Crestor) for prevention of heart attack and stroke in patients with normal LDL cholesterol levels who have a combination of other risk factors that put them at increased risk for heart disease. Rosuvastatin may now be prescribed as primary prevention for men ages 50 years or older or women ages 60 years or older who have:
- High C-reactive protein levels (2 mg/L or higher) AND
- At least one other cardiovascular risk factor (high blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, smoking, family history of premature heart disease)
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein that helps measure inflammation in the body. Increased CRP levels indicate more inflammation and increased risk for heart disease.
Choosing the Correct Lipid-Lowering Medication. Doctors recommend that drug treatments be individually tailored for raising or lowering specific lipids, depending on the patient's blood lipid picture:
- Statins are the standard drugs for most people who require LDL-lowering therapy. Bile-acid binding resins or niacin may be considered. If LDL goals are not achieved, combinations of a statin with a bile-acid resin or niacin should be considered.
- Fibrates or niacin are beneficial for people who need to lower triglycerides and increase HDL.
Considerations for Children and Adolescents. Lifestyle modifications (diet, exercise) are the first course of action for treating children who have unhealthy cholesterol levels or who are at risk for them. In 2008, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommended prescribing statin drugs for children age 8 and older who have elevated LDL levels of 190 mg/dLor over. The AAP also recommended statins for children with LDL 160 mg/dL if there is a family history of heart disease or other risk factors.
For children with diabetes, cholesterol drug treatment is recommended when LDL levels are 130 mg/dL. The goal is to lower LDL levels to less than 160 mg/dL or even 110 mg/dL for children with strong risk factors. However, the issue of prescribing statins to children is being hotly debated within the medical community.
Considerations for People with Diabetes. At this time, statins are recommended as the best drugs for improving cholesterol and lipid levels in people with diabetes. Studies suggest that they can reduce the risk for adverse heart events, even if patients' cholesterol levels are normal or if their diabetes is mild. Fibrates may also be useful for some people with type 2 diabetes. Niacin (nicotinic acid) has the best effect on the cholesterol profile of people with diabetes, but it also increases blood sugar levels and can be difficult to tolerate.

AbstractThe current paper introduces new prior distributions on the univariate normal model, with the aim of applying them to the classification of univariate normal populations. These new prior distributions are entirely based on the Riemannian geometry of the univariate normal model, so that they can be thought of as "Riemannian priors". Precisely, if {pθ ; θ ∈ Θ} is any parametrization of the univariate normal model, the paper considers prior distributions G(, γ) with hyperparameters ∈ Θ and γ > 0, whose density with respect to Riemannian volume is proportional to exp(−d2(θ, )/2γ2), where d2(θ, ) is the square of Rao's Riemannian distance. The distributions G(, γ) are termed Gaussian distributions on the univariate normal model. The motivation for considering a distribution G(, γ) is that this distribution gives a geometric representation of a class or cluster of univariate normal populations. Indeed, G(, γ) has a unique mode (precisely, is the unique Riemannian center of mass of G(, γ), as shown in the paper), and its dispersion away from is given by γ. Therefore, one thinks of members of the class represented by G(, γ) as being centered around and lying within a typical distance determined by γ. The paper defines rigorously the Gaussian distributions G(, γ) and describes an algorithm for computing maximum likelihood estimates of their hyperparameters. Based on this algorithm and on the Laplace approximation, it describes how the distributions G(, γ) can be used as prior distributions for Bayesian classification of large univariate normal populations. In a concrete application to texture image classification, it is shown that this leads to an improvement in performance over the use of conjugate priors.

Okay so I've been starting to wonder what the heck to do with my wedding dress. It seems kinda pointless to just let it sit and collect dust... and i doubt my daughter will wear it for her wedding...so i'm wondering if I should cut it up an use the pieces
like for a lace christmas stocking
or maybe she could use a piece to hold her bouquet for her wedding. or I donno...
Would you cut up your wedding dress??
and what would you use with it.
My husband and I will be married a year in 2 weeks yay! and I'm not sure if I'll think I was dumb for cutting it or smart later on.
What you can't see in the pictures very well is lace at the front bottom as well..
well. what would you do? ... I don't even know if he'll let me cut it up... but maybe someday...

Time for a new Don't Be Tardy…I wish they would do the new episode at 9 instead of 9:30. Kim had great ratings for the premiere, about 1.2 million viewers. I am in love with Shun, Kim's stylist. Kim wants to recreate her wedding in five days and Shun smiles knowing this is batshit crazy. Kim wants to be on Dancing with the Stars yet can't dance even a little bit around when Shun tries to teach her a basic step together step thing. Kim and Shun are adorable together. Continue reading

Don't Be Tardy Recap
Quick Thoughts on Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding Finale
The reception was priceless. Even though we knew Kim's mom was getting tossed it was still priceless. (OMG, Kathy is on while I am blogging and she says Kim's mom has "meth arms." OMG. I can't. Kathy is killing her routine about the wedding.) Anyway, where was I? The most important thing is that Kim's mom has GOT to be on the sequel. And her Dad, OMG. Drunk before the father-daughter dance and dancing with all the ladies? Making borderline racist comments about the multicultural guests? This is TV gold. Loved it!
I do have some questions for y'all. Am I the only one who was surprised she wore same dress for first dance? Bridezilla's with two dresses usually have one for the ceremony and one for the reception. I guess when you have to have three you spend your wedding in hair and makeup. Kandi missed the ceremony? Anyone else think that was on purpose? Rhinestone press on tattoos? Have you ever seen anything tackier? All that money and she still manages to get some "white trash" in there. Why was Kandi so bug-eyed when she was singing? Am I the only one who thought it looked like she had a thyroid problem or at the very least a case of the Ramona eyes? Perez Hilton's jacket was perhaps the most ungodly thing I've ever seen a man wear. Did you see Patti Stanger "dancing"? OMG!
Okay, let me have it. What did you think?
Why Does Kim Zolciak's Mom Get Thrown Out of the Wedding by the Police?
Ya'll are asking about the wedding and why the cops get called. I've got an early morning tomorrow. But I'll tease you tonight. You'll notice that the whole show they have spent a lot of a very short amount of time talking about the port-a-potties. They've got armed guards to keep people out of the house, remember? Let's just say, Kimberleigh refused to let anyone pee in the seven bathrooms with indoor plumbing during her wedding. It caused an incident. The previews seem to indicate someone was trash talking Kim and Kroy at the wedding, but that's (as usual) not the whole story. Even family was not allowed to pee inside. This caused some… issues. And a scene. And hurt feelings.
Edited: Just to be clear, this is not an actual port-a-pottie from the wedding. I just pulled the picture off the web. Based on what we saw on the show, she went with large "nice" trailers for the event. Not that that changes anything.
Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding Premieres With Big Numbers!
The question I got the most was about the cops showing up to the wedding. Well, Kim's parents have been sort of …um… unusual on RHOA and her over the top mother has a big role in Tardy. Everyone's mother can be a bit intrusive during the wedding planning. Juggling the parents of both bride and groom is part of the whole ordeal, but when you are …er….um…let's say when a daughter has new money, and the mother is unaccustomed to ginormous reality TV weddings, expect the unexpected. Kim's mom is not exactly Kris Jenner. So sadly, the po-po is called on her by security during the reception. Sorry to spoil the ending, but… keep your eye on Kim's mom.
So let me have it. What did you think of the show? Or just rant about how you didn't watch it because Kim is a big, fat, whore. Either way works for me.
Don't be Tardy for the Wedding!
NEW YORK – November 16, 2011 –Bravo has the hottest seat in the house for Kim Zolciak's extravagant wedding in a new docu-series titled "Don't Be Tardy for the Wedding." It's been just a year since the Bravo cameras captured Kim's fortuitous meeting with Kroy Biermann, Defensive End for the Atlanta Falcons. In the current season of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," fans share in the couple's most intimate moments as they move into a posh new home together and give birth to a son, KJ. The only step left in their happy-ever-after is the wedding of Kim's dreams.
"I am so excited to give an up close and personal look at the next chapter in my life." Kim said "My life has turned into a true Cinderella story and to watch the pieces unfold is going to be great! I can't wait to share with all of you!"
Each thirty minute episode will follow the adventures of Kim preparing for her wedding on the lucky date of 11/11/11. With less than 2 months to plan, she enlists celebrity event planner Colin Cowie to help design a dream wedding in her brand new multi-million dollar home. The pressure is on as Kim rushes to find a dress, lose remaining baby weight and cosmetically enhance trouble spots. With the date quickly approaching, problems mount– her invitation is leaked to the press and her mother refuses to attend the wedding. Still, Kim is determined to marry Kroy and won't let anything ruin her perfect day.
Of course we already knew most of this. Of interest is that the episodes are only thirty minutes. Perhaps the other half of the hour will be the Kandi Factory? I wonder what cosmetic enhancements Kim had? Is that info already out there? Sounds like she got some lipo. The story with her mother is not shocking. Word around Atlanta is that her mother did in fact come to the wedding but was rude and caused such a stir that there is some speculation she was asked to leave the reception. I'm assuming the show will air sometime after the season finale of RHOA. As for Kandi's show, The Kandi Factory, she is currently taping and says everything is going well.
Will you be watching Don't be Tardy to the Wedding and The Kandi Factory?
Kim Zolciak in Her Wedding Dress
Hours ago Life & Style Weekly released their first picture of Kim and Kroy at the their wedding. Kim looks gorgeous in her wedding dress and Kroy is handsome in an ivory tux. Life & Style smartly purchased exclusive rights to all things Kim Zolciak, now Kim Biermann, back when she became pregnant with Kroy's baby. The entire ceremony was filmed by Bravo and Life & Style was in town with their own still photographers. As soon as the full spread is published in Life & Style then other pictures will also be more available. (hint, hint)
Kim tweeted this black and white picture (is there a bit of a sepia overlay there?) to her followers after the Life & Style photo was released. She is bursting at the seams to tweet more. She and Kroy seem very happy. The marriage count is currently at three days.

It's a California bill that would require counties with high minority populations to get approval from Sacramento before making major changes in election procedure.

Every once in a while I get a very specific craving for a burger. Not just the patty itself, but the bun, tomato, and the whole deal. I wanted to do something a little different this time, so came up with these super yum turkey burgers infused with green chiles, cumin, and pepper jack cheese.
These burgers only take about 10 minutes to mix up and then depending on how you cook them, just a few minutes more until they're ready to eat. It doesn't really get better than this for a quick, flavorful weeknight dinner! I topped my burger with a sliced tomato, but completely forgot to buy the lettuce. As I was contemplating the sad loss of the green element of my burger, I realized that avocado slices would be to die for with this burger, so I wrote that into the recipe and cost. But you know, lettuce would be good too, I guess.
Green Chile Turkey Burgers
- 19 oz. pkg ground turkey $4.59
- 4 oz. can diced green chiles $0.87
- ½ tsp ground cumin $0.05
- ¼ tsp garlic powder $0.02
- ¼ tsp salt $0.02
- 2-3 green onions, sliced $0.20
- 2 oz. pepper jack cheese, shredded $0.61
- 6 hamburger buns $2.02
- 1 large tomato (optional) $0.83
- 1 large avocado (optional) $1.50
- Place the ground turkey, green chiles, sliced green onions, shredded pepper jack, cumin, garlic powder, and salt in a large bowl. Mix the ingredients until well combined. Divide the mix into six equal portions and shape into patties. The mixture will be fairly wet.
- Coat a large skillet or countertop grill with non stick spray. Heat the skillet over a medium flame (or preheat the grill for five minutes), add the burgers and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side (countertop grills cook from both sides at once, so 5-7 minutes total). The burgers should be browned on each side and no longer pink in the center. The juices may still run white because of the melted cheese.
- Serve each patty on a bun with a slice of tomato and a couple slices of avocado.
I didn't have an avocado today, so I used some mayo instead. Still very good!
Step by Step Photos
These burgers are incredibly simple. This is all you need to add TONS of flavor to the ground turkey. This is one 19 oz. package of ground turkey, two ounces of shredded pepper jack (about 1/2 cup), 2-3 green onions sliced, one 4 oz. can of diced green chiles, 1/2 tsp ground cumin, 1/4 tsp garlic powder AND 1/4 tsp salt (not pictured). To measure the cheese I just cut an 8 oz. block of cheese into quarters then shredded one of them.
Place all of the ingredients in a bowl…
Then mix them all together until well combined. This mixture is pretty wet thanks to the green chiles, but I was still able to form them into patties. They held together well when cooked. Divide this mixture into six equal portions and form them into patties.
I cooked the first couple on my George Foreman grill. Despite coating it with non-stick spray, the cheese made them stick just a bit.
I cooked the rest in a skillet over medium heat (also coated with non-stick spray) and had no problems with sticking. In fact, the skillet cooked burgers were MUCH juicier than the Foreman grilled. The skillet is my preparation method of choice. Try not to crowd the skillet or else the juices will get trapped and prevent browning. I had to cook one last burger by itself after this group. :)
So here is the comparison between the George Foreman cooked burgers and the burgers cooked in the skillet. The skillet wins hands down. (There was one more burger cooking in the skillet when I took this photo. Six total.)
Top your burgers with whatever you like. I like a slice of fresh tomato and some avocado (not pictured).
And of course, I served them with Chile Roasted Potatoes! YUM!

Putting these on my next meal plan, but I'm planning to sub ground beef because I just can't even with the ground turkey. Idk what it is…I think maybe the smell of it? But I've wanted to try this recipe forever because the flavors sound great!
Perfect! Moist and flavorful. Wouldn't change a thing.
I made the Green Chile Turkey Burgers for dinner last night, and honestly, they're delicious. I served the turkey burgers with French fries. I will definitely make these again. Thank you for this awesome recipe, Beth. :-)
I'm looking forward to making the turkey burgers this week. :-)
I actually make mine much simpler than this. 1lb ground turkey, 1 small can of green chilis, and s+p. No joke. They're really good for how few ingredients there are in there. I usually top them with whatever cheese I have and a little bbq sauce and eat them with or without a bun. I've also skipped the s+p and just added maybe a tb or less taco seasoning. They come out kinda orange, but they're SO good topped with salsa.
Made these for dinner last night. They are easy to make and super delicious. The pepper jack cheese and the green chilies are nice and warm for a cold fall evening. Yum.

IBM WebSphere Application Server Community Edition is the latest evolution of the Gluecode Standard Edition (SE) open source application server product. If you have been using Gluecode SE to host your Web applications, you will continue to find the familiar, user friendly, Web-based administrative console, as well as many Gluecode SE features (such as JDBC connectors for existing RDBMs), in WebSphere Application Server Community. In addition, WebSphere Application Server Community Edition, which is based on the open source Apache Geronimo Milestone 5 (M5) build, extends Gluecode SE into a full fledged, J2EE 1.4 certified server. You will therefore enjoy additional server capabilities, including built-in support for business tier EJB components.
If you are already using Apache Geronimo M5 to host your enterprise applications, you will find the move to WebSphere Application Server Community Edition to be extremely straightforward -- since its engine is the Apache Geronimo M5 server -- and a compact, robust, and well-supported alternative for your J2EE development efforts.
This article demonstrates how to migrate a sample application from either Gluecode SE 1.1 or Apache Geronimo M5 to WebSphere Application Server Community Edition. We will first deploy the sample application to Gluecode SE, then to Apache Geronimo M5, and finally migrate and deploy it to WebSphere Application Server Community Edition (hereafter referred to as Community Edition).
This article is organized into the following sections:
- Implementation analysis: Gluecode, Geronimo, and Community Edition
- About the sample application
- Deploy to the Gluecode environment
- Deploy to the Geronimo environment
- Migrate and deploy to Community Edition
Before you continue: This article was written for WebSphere Application Server Community Edition V1.0, which was the current version at the time the article was published. Some of the information in this article may not be applicable to later versions. To follow along with this article, be sure to use the product version on which this article is based. If you wish, you can download the current version of WebSphere Application Server Community Edition, or you can download an earlier version by visiting the product archive page.
Implementation analysis: Gluecode, Geronimo, and Community Edition
Community Edition is essentially a merge of the best features of Gluecode SE (such as the user friendly Web console and JDBC support for Microsoft®'s SQL Server) with the robust J2EE certified engine provided by Apache Geronimo M5. Therefore, migrating applications from either Gluecode SE or Apache Geronimo M5 is almost always straightforward and often requires no additional work.
As an open source application server product, Community Edition replaces Gluecode SE 1.1, which is actually based on the Apache Geronimo M4 build, an older cousin of Geronimo M5. One major difference between Community Edition and Gluecode SE (and also the default binary distribution of Geronimo M5) is the Web-tier container. The standard Web-tier container of Gluecode SE 1.1 is Jetty 5.1.4 (and Jetty 5.1.5 for Geronimo M5), while the Web-tier container of Community Edition is Apache Tomcat 5.5. This is largely due to the fact that prior to M4, Jetty was the only choice of Web container with Geronimo. However, from a migration standpoint, this difference is not terribly significant since the version of Tomcat integrated into Community Edition maintains full backward compatibility with the earlier Jetty-based releases. In most cases, your J2EE Web tier assets will consist of:
- servlets
- JSPs
- custom tag libraries
- code for J2EE compatible programming frameworks.
Both Tomcat and Jetty fully support these J2EE Web-tier components (at the Servlet 2.4 and JSP 2.0 standard level). Table 1 provides a comparision of some key features between the three servers.

As you can see from Table 1, there are more similarity between these servers than there are differences. You will soon see how easy it is to migrate existing applications from these servers to Community Edition.
About the sample application
The sample application, included with this article in the download ZIP file, is a JMS-based application; the ActiveMQ message broker, supporting JMS, is integrated into all three servers (although Gluecode SE contains an older release). A JMS sample application is selected to show how to configure JMS connectors and message destinations on these servers. (For details on JDBC connector and authentication realm configuration, see Migrate from Apache Tomcat to WebSphere Application Server Community Edition.)
Figure 1 shows the components and data flow in this application.
Figure 1. The JMS-based sample application
As shown in Figure 1, the application consists of a message producer, which is the SenderServlet hosted in the server (Gluecode SE, Geronimo M5, or Community Edition). This servlet presents the user with a data entry form, shown in Figure 2 with text filled in.
Figure 2. Message sender form
The user enters text and selects the Send button. A JMS message is then created and sent to a message queue named SendReceiveQueue. The SendReceiveQueue is managed by the ActiveMQ message broker hosted inside the same server.
In Figure 1, you can see that there is another component, a message consumer called JMSReceiver. This message consumer is not a J2EE application; instead, it is a command line application that is an ActiveMQ client. This consumer application, JMSReceiver, is started waiting for messages to arrive on the message queue. When a user enters a message in the form, the message is immediately received by the command line client and displayed on the console.
Table 2 lists and describes the classes and files that makes up the application.
|A J2EE Web tier component hosted in the server. This is the message producer, presenting a form to the user for message input. It also uses container JNDI support to lookup the message destination: the SendReceive message queue.
|A non-J2EE command line JMS client program. It monitors the SendReceive message queue for up to 5 messages, printing out each one as it receives it.
Required environment
To use this sample application with these instructions, you must have the following downloaded and installed in your environment:
- Apache Ant 1.6.5
- Gluecode SE 1.1 (if you are migrating from Gluecode SE)
- Apache Geronimo Milestone 5 (if you are migrating from Apache Geronimo)
- IBM WebSphere Applicaion Server Community Edition 1.0
Deploy to the Gluecode environment
Before you build the example, make sure you go into the build.xml file and edit the geronimo.home directory to point to your Gluecode SE installation.
1. Build the deployable WAR file of the sender
You can build the example Web application by going into the code directory and entering the command:
ant war
This will create a WAR file, named sender.war, in the dist directory. This is the Web application archive file that you can deploy to Gluecode SE.
2. Compile and copy ActiveMQ libraries for non-J2EE client
The client source code is in the clientsrc subdirectory. Before you can run the client successfully, you must compile it and copy the ActiveMQ libraries to the mqcient/lib subdirectory. This can be done using the command:
ant client
3. Configure a JMS message queue
In Gluecode SE, the ActiveMQ message broker is started by default, but you will need to create a message queue called SendReceive for the application. You can do this using the Gluecode SE console. Log onto the console and select the JMS link. On the right pane, select Add Queue/Topic, and complete both the Message Destination and Destination Physical Name fields with
SendReceiveQueue, as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Add SendReceive message queue
Click Submit to add the queue. Note that you may not see it on the console display since the destination name and the physical name are the same. However, you can verify that the configuration is created and running by using this command in the Gluecode SE bin directory:
java -jar deploy.jar --user system --password manager list-modules
You should see the runtimedestination/SendReciveQueue listed. This is the configuration that Gluecode SE creates for you. This configuration maps the "Message destination name" of the queue, used by SenderServlet, to the "Destination Physical Name" -- used by JMSReceiver and the ActiveMQ message broker. If you look at the web.xml deployment descriptor for sender.war, located in the dd subdirectory, you will see the reference link to the queue as shown in Listing 1.
Listing1. Reference link to SendReceive queue in web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_2_4.xsd" version="2.4"> <description> developerWorks JMS Example - for WebSphere Application Server Community Edition </description> ... <resource-ref> <res-ref-name>DefaultActiveMQConnectionFactory</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> <message-destination-ref> <message-destination-ref-name>dwSendReceiveQueue</message-destination-ref-name> <message-destination-type>javax.jms.Queue</message-destination-type> <message-destination-usage>Produces</message-destination-usage> <message-destination-link>SendReceiveQueue</message-destination-link> </message-destination-ref> </web-app>
Internal to the SenderServlet, the code looks up the queue and sends a message to it. The code responsible for JNDI lookup from SenderServlet.java is shown in bold in Listing 2.
Listing 2. SenderServlet performing JNDI lookup for JMS queue
public class SenderServlet extends HttpServlet { private Context jndiContext = null; private QueueConnectionFactory factory = null; private Queue receiveQueue = null; private static final String QueueName = "java:comp/env/dwSendReceiveQueue"; private static final String FactoryName = "java:comp/env/DefaultActiveMQConnectionFactory"; public void init() throws ServletException { super.init(); try { jndiContext = new InitialContext(); factory = (QueueConnectionFactory) jndiContext.lookup(FactoryName); receiveQueue = (Queue) jndiContext.lookup(QueueName); } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } } ...
The non-J2EE client calls ActiveMQ directly, without going through JNDI, and asks for a queue named SendReceive.
4. Run the client
To run the client, change the directory to the mqclient subdirectory under the code directory of the code distribution, then enter this command to start the JMSReceiver:
The JMSReceiver will connect to the ActiveMQ message broker at the default port of 61616, and wait for messages to show up at the SendReceive queue.
5. Deploy the sender Web application
Use the Gluecode SE console to deploy the sender application. Click on the Applications link on the left, enter the path to sender.war into the Archive textbox, then click Install. This will install and start the sender application. Figure 4 shows successful deployment of the sender.war.
Figure 4. Successful deploy of sender.war
6. Try out the JMS Web application
After successful deployment, you can access the SenderServlet at the URL: http://localhost:8080/sender/sendform.cgi. Try entering some messages into the form and then click the Send button. Take a look at the running client application, and notice that it is printing out every message that you send from the servlet. Figure 5 shows the JMSReceiver running and receiving messages.
Figure 5. JMSReceiver running, showing received messages
Deploy to the Geronimo environment
Now we will see how the sample application runs in Geronimo M5. Shutdown the Gluecode SE server, if it is running. This will also terminate any JMSReceiver clients that may be running.
Even if you performed the Gluecode deployment steps above, we will need to rebuild our example because Gluecode SE uses a different version of ActiveMQ than Geronimo M5. Othewise, we would see exceptions when the JMSReceiver runs due to mismatched versions. Before you rebuild the example, make sure you go into the Ant build.xml file and edit the geronimo.home directory to point to your Geronimo M5 installation.
1. Build the deployable WAR file of the sender
As usual, you can build the sample Web application by going into the code directory, then entering the command:
ant war
This will create a new sender.war file, usable with Geronimo M5, in the dist directory.
2. Compile and copy ActiveMQ libraries for non-J2EE client
To copy newer Geronimo M5 libraries to the mqclient/lib subdirectory, and to recompile the client, use the command:
ant client
3. Configure a JMS message queue
With Geronimo M5, the default system JMS deployment plan has already created the SendReceiveQueue for us. You can find this deployment plan under the doc/plan subdirectory of the Geronimo M5 installation directory. This is the directory where Geronimo M5 keeps a record of all the system deployment plans that are used for this binary assembly. The plan that you are interested in is called system-jms-plan.xml. Listing 3 shows this plan, with the creation of the SendReceiveQueue highlighted.
Listing 3. The system-jms-plan.xml deployment plan showing configuration of SendReceiveQueue
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ... <connector xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/connector-1.0" configId="org/apache/geronimo/SystemJMS" parentId="org/apache/geronimo/ActiveMQServer"> <resourceadapter> <resourceadapter-instance> <resourceadapter-name>ActiveMQ RA</resourceadapter-name> <config-property-setting name="ServerUrl"> tcp://0.0.0.0:61616 </config-property-setting> <config-property-setting name="UserName"> geronimo</config-property-setting> <config-property-setting name="Password"> geronimo</config-property-setting> <workmanager> <gbean-link>DefaultWorkManager</gbean-link> </workmanager> </resourceadapter-instance> <outbound-resourceadapter> <connection-definition> <connectionfactory-interface> javax.jms.ConnectionFactory </connectionfactory-interface> <connectiondefinition-instance> <name>DefaultActiveMQConnectionFactory</name> <implemented-interface> javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory</implemented-interface> <implemented-interface> javax.jms.TopicConnectionFactory</implemented-interface> <connectionmanager> <xa-transaction> <transaction-caching/> </xa-transaction> <single-pool> <max-size>10</max-size> <blocking-timeout-milliseconds> 5000</blocking-timeout-milliseconds> <match-one/> </single-pool> </connectionmanager> </connectiondefinition-instance> </connection-definition> </outbound-resourceadapter> </resourceadapter> <adminobject> <adminobject-interface>javax.jms.Queue</adminobject-interface> <adminobject-class> org.codehaus.activemq.message.ActiveMQQueue</adminobject-class> <adminobject-instance> <message-destination-name> MDBTransferBeanOutQueue</message-destination-name> <config-property-setting name="PhysicalName"> MDBTransferBeanOutQueue</config-property-setting> </adminobject-instance> </adminobject> <adminobject> <adminobject-interface>javax.jms.Queue</adminobject-interface> <adminobject-class> org.codehaus.activemq.message.ActiveMQQueue</adminobject-class> <adminobject-instance> <message-destination-name>SendReceiveQueue</message-destination-name> <config-property-setting name="PhysicalName"> SendReceiveQueue</config-property-setting> </adminobject-instance> </adminobject> </connector>
Since the Geronimo M5 server is already configured by the system deployment plan, you need only to start it to have the queue avaiable. To see the ActiveMQ broker instance that is running upon server startup, find its administration pages on the Geronimo M5 console by selecting Server => JMS Server. Figure 6 shows the Geronimo M5 console displaying the default ActiveMQ instance that it starts.
Figure 6. The ActiveMQ message broker configuration page on Geronimo M5 console
In Figure 6, the ActiveMQ message broker instance supports two transports, in-VM transport for fast interaction between Geronimo M5 components and the message broker, or TCP/IP transport for any external client (such as our non-J2EE JMSReceiver client).
4. Run the client
Change the directory to the mqclient subdirectory under the code directory of the Geronimo code distribution, then run the client using the command:
This starts JMSReceiver as before. The client will connect to the Geronimo M5 managed ActiveMQ message broker, using the TCP transport shown in Figure 6, at the default port of 61616. This client blocks and waits for messages to show up at the SendReceive queue.
5. Deploy the sender Web application
Use the Geronimo M5 console to deploy the sender application. Select Applications => All Configuration. In the "Install New Application" section on the lower right, enter the path to sender.war into the Archive text box, then click the Install button. This will install and start the SenderServlet. Deploying from the Geronimo M5 Web console is almost identical to using the Gluecode SE console.
6. Try out the JMS Web application
After successful deployment, you can access the SenderServlet at the URL: http://localhost:8080/sender/sendform.cgi. Try entering some messages into the form and then Send. The application operates exactly the same as it did with Gluecode SE.
Migrate and deploy to Community Edition
Now, for perhaps the most uneventful migration exercise thus far, you will deploy the application to the Community Edition environment. Since Community Edition is largely composed of Geronimo M5 (with the exclusion of a few non-J2EE modules), the migration requires very little work. Of course, if you are migrating from Gluecode SE to Community Edition, remember that you first need to migrate to Geronimo M5, following the instructions above.
We will not need to rebuild the sample application this time. Community Edition and Geronimo M5's dependency library levels are identical. You also do not need to rebuild the client, since the ActiveMQ broker version of Community Edition is exactly the same as Geronimo M5.
1. Configure a JMS message queue
Identical, again, to Geronimo M5, the default system JMS deployment plan has already created the SendReceiveQueue for us. You will find the same system-jms-plan.xml deployment plan as Geronimo under the doc/plan subdirectory of the Community Edition installation directory. This plan is shown above in Listing 3, with the code creating the endReceiveQueue in bold. Thanks to the compatibility, this is another step we do not need to perform.
On the Community Edition web console, as with Gluecode SE, you can create additional JMS queues and topics. To do so, select Services => JMS. Figure 7 shows the JMS Destination Manager configuration page for adding JMS queues and topics.
Figure 7. Community Edition console page for adding JMS queues and topics
2. Run the client
Change the directory to the mqclient subdirectory under the code directory of the Community Edition code distribution, then run the client using the command:
With no configuration or compilation change required, the JMSReceiver will start, and the client will connect to the Community Edition managed ActiveMQ message broker. The client blocks and waits for messages at the SendReceive queue.
3. Deploy the sender Web application
Using the Community Edition console to deploy the sender application is exactly the same as with Geronimo M5. Select Applications => All Configuration, find the "Install New Application" section on the lower right, enter the path to sender.war into the Archive text box, and then click the Install button.
4. Try out the JMS Web application
After successful deployment, run and verify that the application operates exactly the same as it did when it was first hosted under Gluecode SE, and later Geronimo M5. This migration from Geronimo M5 to Community Edition requires no additional work.
In this article, we migrated a JMS-based sample application from Gluecode SE to WebSphere Application Server Community Edition, and from Apache Geronimo M5 to Community Edition, in both cases with very minor configuration changes, then recompiled to accomodate updated ActiveMQ libraries.
Since WebSphere Application Server Community Edition is based on Apache Geronimo M5, the migration of applications from Geronimo to Community Edition is straightforward and requires little or no work. Gluecode SE is based on the Apache Geronimo M4 build, yet migrating applications from Gluecode SE to Community Edition is also quite straightforward. As we have seen through these examples, with Community Edition you can rely on the user-friendly Web-based console for much of your deployment, administration, and configuration needs.

The commentaries on the pictures, the selection of which is the broadest of any publication featuring Tolkien's artwork, provide a clear and thorough explanation of how and when the pictures were created. The context thus provided enables other Tolkien researchers to examine the evolving landscape of Middle-earth as no other source text does.
When fans ask if Tolkien ever envisioned certain things clearly, they need only turn to this book to see that indeed he did. J.R.R. Tolkien was one of the few authors with the talent to actually illusrtrate his own characters and worlds. The experience of seeing all these images in one volume is exhilarating. It's almost like a long lost Tolkien book had been found in some dusty archive.
This book contains all the artwork that Tolkien created (NOT all the artwork BASED on his works, just the stuff he did himself!). Some are miscellaneous sketches and doodles, some are watercolors, ink drawings, prints, pencil sketches, and combinations of all of the above. One doodle looks like multicolored snowflakes, some are landscapes or pictures of little houses, teddy bears, owls, and so on. Very cute and cool, especially the illustrations done for "Roverandum."
And many are Middle-Earth related -- different views of the Misty Mountains or the Elvenking's hall, the evolution of what the Shire looked like, different Laketowns, different "Doors of Durin," even drawings of the tattered pages of the Dwarf Book of Moria. Near the end, even Tolkien's design drawings for LOTR book covers are included. And, of course -- MAPS! Maps of Wilderland, as well as the famous map from "Hobbit."
The text accompanying these many pictures carefully dissects all of the drawings and their importance, as well as how they evolved. (It's a bit like looking at concept art) As well as going over only Tolkien's work, Wayne G. Hammond also examines influences on Tolkien's artwork. For example, there is a fairy-tale picture that influenced a "Hobbit" picture, and a scientific drawing of a golden eagle that influenced another "Hobbit" picture with Bilbo.
This is a must-read for fans of J.R.R. Tolkien, a great peek into a great mind. And it emphasizes that Tolkien was not just a brilliant writer, but a brilliant artist as well. Great stuff, definitely a must-see.
Tolkien's strengths seem to have been equally divided between watercolors and sketches. He seldom ever drew a human face, but his Middle Earth-related landscapes are marvelous. He was able to stare at a tree and capture every detail, even with one silly lead pencil on mealy yellow paper. His crests are also of important historical note (and could teach graphic designers a thing or two). Some readers will be amused at the randomness of his paper choices but amazed at how serious and detailed his doodles were.
So after saying all that, allow me to explain my "4 star" reasoning before you jump all over me. Yes, Tolkien's art is fascinating and fabulous, and I appreciate the inclusion of so many pieces (even unfinished sketches). What I don't like is the amount of pieces that were included as black-and-white pictures.Read more ›
