Service components, which adopt the Service Component Architecture (SCA) programming model, use business objects for exchanging data among them. A business object (BO) is a container for application data, such as a customer or an invoice. Therefore, it becomes a common problem on how to store and query business objects when developing different kinds of SCA components.
DB2® V9 pureXML supports storing and querying Extensible Markup Language (XML) documents in its native hierarchical format. The underlying structure of a business object is an XML schema definition (XSD). You can parse business objects into a XML document and deserialize them from the XML document using Service Data Object (SDO) APIs.
Instead of the traditional way to access database using a Data Access Object (DAO) pattern with JDBC or hibernate, this article shows you web services-based access to DB2 using Data web services, a new feature provided by IBM Data Studio.
In this article, you will learn how to develop SCA components using pureXML web services to store and query business objects with WebSphere Integration Developer.
The sample applications and code snippets help explain the benefits of integrating pureXML web services with SCA components. This article will cover basic principles that you need to know when using pureXML and developing SCA components. You will explore how to expose pureXML web services to access DB2, how to operate with business objects with SDO APIs, and how to call pureXML web services within your SCA component.
In this article, you will use WebSphere Integration Developer together with Data Studio to build a sample application. We assume that you have experience with web services, pureXML, and SCA. For more information about these technologies, see the Resources section.
You need to install the following software:
- WebSphere Integration Developer V7: This is an Eclipse-based tool for end-to-end integration of your SOA application.
- IBM Data Studio: This development environment offers a multitude of functionalities, such as Data web service, which you can expose database operations as web services without programming.
- DB2 V9: This is a hybrid database system utilizing pureXML technology to store XML data natively.
This article provides sample code that you can download.
The sample application in this article is a fictitious Person Contact Service. Users or other applications can use this service to store and query person contact information. There are two main parts:
- SCA service: This is a service developed using WebSphere Integration Developer V7. It provides two operations for person contact: one is to save the contact information, and the other is to query the contact information according to the person's name.
- Web service for data access: You will use Data Studio to expose the SQL or XML scripts as a web service. Its main function is to access data in DB2.
Figure 1 shows the architecture of the sample application.
Figure 1. Integrate pureXML web services with SCA component
Download the sample source code. The sample is designed to run with WebSphere Process Server V7. There is one deployable file for pureXML web service, the predefined library project, and the source code for SCA component module.
The following sample files are provided with this article:
- ContactLib.zip contains the predefined library project, including the business objects and service interfaces.
- ContactModule.zip contains the source code files for the SCA component module.
- pureXMLWebService.zip contains the deployable WAR file for the sample pureXML web service and the corresponding data development project.
DB2 pureXML and Data web service
DB2 9 is a new generation data server with a revolutionary pureXML technology that can store XML data natively inside a DB2 database. It provides simple and efficient access to XML with the same levels of security, integrity, and resiliency taken for granted with relational data.
Modern SOA applications are often deployed with web services as a standardized and independent means of exposing business logic or data access over internet. You can utilize Data Studio to create web services to expose the data in DB2. Data Studio is an Eclipse-based tool including many new features, which includes support of Data web services. A Data web service is the next generation solution that significantly eases the development, deployment, and management of web services-based access to DB2 and other IBM database servers. It enables you to simply and quickly create either REST-style or SOAP binding services over HTTP to access data.
Service Data Objects in WebSphere Integration Developer
SCA services typically use document-style business data for parameters and return values, and SDOs are the preferred form for data and metadata. SCA defines the services as components and the connectivity between them. SDOs define the data that is flowing between components.
SDOs support XML schema for metadata and XML as a data source and support for using XPath expressions to get and set values. When you work with SDO, you can create one or many structures called data objects, each of which includes business data organized into a collection of named properties. You can then get or set the data for each property, whether the property holds a data item, such as a customer name, or a reference to another data object. Properties that hold data items are based on data types such as a string or integer.
In WebSphere Integration Developer, you dynamically define and access a data object and reference data-type descriptions at runtime. In our sample application, the data object will be serialized into XML document and then saved into the database. Figure 2 shows an example of an XML document that represents the data object after serialization.
Figure 2. Example XML document representing the data object
Review business objects and the service interface
There is one business object named Contact and one service interface named ContactService that are defined in our sample application, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4. The service defined two operations around the business object Contact: one is to save the contact information and the other is to query the contact information by the person's name.
Figure 3. Business object
Figure 4. Service interface
Setup the sample database
The business object defined in the above section will be stored into the DB2 database using native XML format. You can refer to the Data Definition Language (DDL) statements in Listing 1 to create the database and table for the sample application.
Listing 1. DDL for the database and table
create database condb using codeset utf8 territory us create table contact_table ( id bigint primary key not null generated by default as identity ( START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1 MINVALUE 1 MAXVALUE 10000 NO CYCLE CACHE 20), contactdoc xml );
Expose the pureXML Data web services
The pureXML Data web service in our sample shows you how to save the XML document of the data object and how to return the query results. Data web services are comprised of SQL scripts or procedures that you want to expose as services. Follow these steps to create the SQL web services using Data Studio:
- To open a new Data Development project from the Data Project Explorer, right-click on the blank panel and select New > Data Development Project from the pop-up menu. The new data development project wizard appears.
- Type the project name as
SampleDBServiceand click Next. Select the existing connection named condb. If there is no database connection, you can click New to create one.
- Click Finish and the new project is shown in the Data
Project Explorer (Figure 5).
Figure 5. Data Development project
- To create a new SQL script, from the Data Project Explorer, select the SQL Scripts node, and right-click and select New > SQL or XQuery Script. This launches the wizard.
- Enter the name as
saveContactfor the script name and click Finish to open the SQL Editor.
- Enter the statement as shown in Listing 2 and save it.
Listing 2. SQL script for saveContact
insert into contact_table (contactdoc) values (:contactdoc)
- Repeat Steps 4 to 6 to create another SQL script named
queryContactByName(see Listing 3).
Listing 3. SQL script for queryContactByName
select xmlserialize(contactdoc as clob(32000)) as contact from contact_table where xmlexists('$doc/*[local-name()="ROOT"][lastName=$lastName and firstName=$firstName]' passing contactdoc as "doc", cast (:lastName as varchar(100)) as "lastName", cast (:firstName as varchar(100)) as "firstName")
- The two SQL scripts are ready, as shown in Figure 6.
Figure 6. SQL Editor
- To create a web service, from the Data Project Explorer,
select the Web Services node, and right-click and select New
Web Service. This launches the New Web Service wizard (Figure
Figure 7. New Web Service wizard
- Enter your web service name, such as
ContactDBService, and click Finish. Your newly created web service ContactDBService is listed under the Web Services node in the Data Project Explorer, as shown in Figure 8.
- To add a SQL script to your web service, drag and drop saveContact.sql onto the web service ContactDBService from the Data Project Explorer. Your web service now has an operation named saveContact (see Figure 8).
- Similarly, add the SQL script queryContactByName.sql to the
web service ContactDBService. You now have two operations in your
ContactDBService web service: saveContract and
queryContactByName (see Figure 8).
Figure 8. Overview of ContactDBService web service
Now that your web service is defined, you can build a deployable file for WebSphere Process Server V7. From the Data Project Explorer, select ContactDBService, and right-click and select Build and Deploy to launch the wizard. Ensure your selections are the same values with those shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9. Build a deployable file for the web service
The selected values for the deployment are:
- Web server type: WebSphere Application Server V7 (all releases)
- Option: Build deployable files only, do not deploy to a web server, Selected
- Data Handler: JDBC, Selected
- Message protocols: REST (web access) and SOAP over HTTP, Selected
A deployable WAR file is generated in the directory of your workspace,
In order to use it in the sample SCA service, deploy it to the WebSphere
Process Server V7 testing environment installed together with WebSphere
Integration Developer V7.
Create the sample SCA service
This section describes how to develop the sample service component with the WSDL port type interface and Java™ implementation.
The business objects and interfaces are ready for you to use. Download the ContactLib.zip file and save it to your local file folder. Then import the predefined Library project to WebSphere Integration Developer.
To create a new module project:
- To create a new module, click File > New >Module. The
wizard appears. Enter the Module name, such as
ContactModule, and click Finish. You can see the project has been created in the Business Integration view.
- To add library dependencies, click Dependencies in
ContactModule to open the editor. When you click Add in the
Libraries section, the Library Selection dialog appears. Select
ContactLib and click OK, as shown in Figure 10.
Figure 10. Add dependencies library
- To save the Dependencies modification, press Ctrl+S and close
the Dependencies editor.
Now that you have created a new module project and have a reference to the predefined library, you can continue to create the Java component:
- Open the Assembly Diagram editor, select and drag Java
to the editor, and rename the component to ContactComponent, as
shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11. Assembly Diagram Editor
- To assign an interface, right-click ContactComponent, select Add > Interface, select ContactService, and then click OK.
- Click Ctrl+S to save the Assembly Diagram.
Access the pureXML web service
An existing pureXML web service, ContactDBService, is ready from our previous section. Once it has been deployed to WebSphere Process Server, you can call it from a module using an import.
To access the existing web service:
- Export the WSDL files of the web service ContactDBService from
the running WebSphere Process Server by saving and unzipping it to
your local directory.
Figure 12. Export WSDL files from server
- To import the WSDL files to your module, right-click the project
ContactModule and select Import from the pop-up
menu. When the import dialog appears, select WSDL and XSD under
Business Integration section. Click Next as shown in
Figure 13.
Figure 13. Import WSDL and XSD files
- To locate the local file, select option Local WSDL or XSD file or both, and click Next. Browse to the source directory where you just saved the exported files. Select the ContactDBService.wsdl file and ContactModule as the target module or library. Click Finish.
- To create an import, open the Assembly Diagram editor. Select and drag Import to the editor.
- To assign an interface for the import, right-click Import1 and click Add Interface from the pop-up menu. Select ContactDBService and click OK.
- To generate the web service binding for Import1, right-click
Import1 and select Generate Binding... > Web Service
Binding. The import details dialog box appears as shown in
Figure 14. Select the option Use an existing web service port,
click Browse to select the existing port
ContactDBSerivceSOAPHTTP and click OK. A dialog
prompts you to select the Transport Protocol for the web service
binding. Select the option SOAP1.1/HTTP and click
Figure 14. Web service binding
- To create a connection between ContactComponent and Import1, save the
Assembly Diagram editor. The editor looks similar to Figure 15.
Figure 15. Assembly Diagram Editor
Create the implementation for ContactComponent
To create the Java implementation for ContactComponent:
- Open the Assembly Diagram editor. Double-click ContactComponent, keep the defaults, and click OK.
- The Java class named ContactComponentImpl is created and it opens automatically in the code editor. The class provides a basic skeleton of all the methods defined in the service interface.
- To implement the logic to do the transformation between the business
object and the XML string, copy the code in Listing 4 to the class
Listing 4. Sample Java code for transformation between business object and XML string
/** * Serialize data object to xml string. */ public String dataObjectToString(DataObject dataObject) { ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); try { xmlSerializerService.writeDataObject(dataObject, "namespace","ROOT", baos); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return baos.toString(); } /** * Deserialize xml string to data object. */ public DataObject stringToDataObject(String string) { ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(string.getBytes()); BOXMLDocument boxmldoc; try { boxmldoc = xmlSerializerService.readXMLDocument(bais); return boxmldoc.getDataObject(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return null; } private static BOXMLSerializer xmlSerializerService = (BOXMLSerializer) new ServiceManager() .locateService("com/ibm/websphere/bo/BOXMLSerializer");
- To implement the methods saveContact and queryContactByName, add the
logic as shown in Listing 5.
Listing 5. Sample implementation of methods saveContact and queryContactByName
public Integer saveContact(DataObject contact) { Service service = locateService_ContactDBServicePartner(); // Get the input of the partner service. DataObject input = boFactory.createByType(service.getReference() .getOperationType("saveContact").getInputType()); input.setString("contactdoc", dataObjectToString(contact)); // Invoke the partner service and get output. DataObject output = (DataObject)service .invoke("saveContact",input); return output.getInt("updateCount"); } public DataObject queryContactByName(String firstName, String lastName) { Service service = locateService_ContactDBServicePartner(); DataObject input = boFactory.createByType(service.getReference() .getOperationType("queryContactByName") .getInputType()); input.setString("firstName", firstName); input.setString("lastName", lastName); DataObject output = (DataObject)service .invoke("queryContactByName", input); DataObject row = (DataObject)output.getList("row").get(0); return stringToDataObject(row.getString("CONTACT")); }
Test the sample application in WebSphere Integration Developer
To test the sample application in WebSphere Integration Developer using the Universal Test Environment:
- To start the server, in the view of Servers, right-click WebSphere Process Server v7.0 at localhost and select Start from the pop-up menu.
- To start testing of the module, right-click ContactModule and
select Test > Test Module from the pop-up menu, as shown in
Figure 16.
Figure 16. Test module
- The Integration Test Client appears. It lists all the component
services and corresponding service operations defined in the module.
There are two operations, saveContact and
queryContactByName in ContactService. You can select any
one of them for testing. Take saveContact as an example, enter
the values for each fields, and click the Continue button in
the left-top bar to launch the test, as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 17. Integration Test Client
- The Deployment Location dialog appears. Select WebSphere Process Server v7.0 at localhost and then click Finish. You may be prompted to enter the username and password to logon to WebSphere Process Server.
- You will now see the result of the invocation. See Figure 18 to
review the saved business objects as an XML document in DB2.
Figure 18. Sample XML document of business object in DB2
- Repeat Steps 2 to 4 to test the other service operations.
Service Component Architecture is widely used to build SOA systems, and the persistence of message (business object) exchanges between components can result in problems. This article introduced a solution by integrating pureXML web services with SCA components. The article also described how to develop and test the SCA component application using WebSphere Integration Developer. The provided sample applications illustrated the ease and flexibility of combining pureXML web services and SCA components.

UDS Chicken, Fall Fiasco w/PrOn

UDS Chicken, Fall Fiasco w/PrOn
Twice a year, our fishing club has a GREAT get together. After 2 years of over cooked tri tips, I offered to cook "Chicken in a Barrel" for the group. This event is what led me to build a UDS barrel, from the info I gleaned from this site. So, I thought I would share the event.
I ordered a case of chicken splits, 32 split minimum. Mine had 36 halves, We served 1/4's so we had 72 servings. I prepped the chicken as I always have, the night before, I rinsed the halves well, dipped them in lemon juice, then applied my rub liberally to both sides. Into the fridge they went, to marinate (?) overnight.
I lit both my old school barrel, and my new" rod modified" UDS with the Minon Method, but I used a full chimney split between both barrels. I wanted to cook at 400-450, as I have always done, (with the old barrel). I let them both get up to temp, and them hung all 40 halves, between the 2 barrels. I used my new remote thermo probe, and joined my 2 assistants in a toast or 3.
When the chicken temped out, I transferred the birds to a clean ice chest, with a food grade plastic bag inside of it. I like to let the chickec rest and steam, for at least 45 minutes before serving.
The chicken was a big hit, I was very happy with the performance of the new UDS. I put 4 air intakes in mine, but have not needed them . # would of been fine. I ran 2 intakes wide open, and the barrel ran 400, rock steady. Once the chicken was done, I did some Moink Balls for an appetizers. Those were eaten by the group that had gathered for a little pre dinner, chicken tasting, and then vanished before they ever got to the potluck.
Thanks for the detailed UDS directions, and for the Moink Ball recipe, both were a huge success!
Me, on the left, with my crack team. The guy on the far right, was hiding the bottle of Patron....

Skip to comments.Sarah Palin Confirms Participation in Tea Party Debate [RUMOR]
Posted on 09/02/2011 7:32:14 AM PDT by onyx
Although Palin will take part in the debate in the Sept. 12 debate in Tampa, Fla., she still has yet to confirm that she is looking to become a presidential hopeful. However, the 2008 vice presidential candidate seems to be dropping hints via her Twitter page.
"America is waiting for the president to make good on this promise," Palin recently posted on Twitter. "I'll be talking about this and more."
Although Palin will join Rep. Michele Bachmann, former Massachusetts Gov. Romney, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former Speaker Newt Gingrich, businessman Herman Cain, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman on Sept. 12, some say she is only confusing her supporters.
Erick Erickson, said Palin is misleading her constituents.
"We are coming to the end of the line for Sarah Palin's ability to string the Republican primary voters along," Erickson wrote. "They are trying to settle on a candidate now, they've held out hope of her entry and
(Excerpt) Read more at christianpost.com ...
Rumors, innuendo, and dirty tricks from
the Romneys and the Perrys (through the Sullivans
and others with connections to the MSM).
Where? Twitter? Her Facebook page? Where and when did she say this?; the article does not give any links. But they do quote a McCain campaign staffer and this Eric cat. Hmmmmmmm. (PDS-ers in 4....3...2......) :^ )
Do we have a link from Sarah Palin announcing she will participate? Because if not, this could be a leaked story that she will, only to be countered later that she won't, and then people will say "See, she keeps jerking people around!"
What is the point of this fiasco?
To hold alternate debates?
To divide the potential voters?
Just freekin announce or STFU
Lets put the Traitors and RINO's in the place!
I.E. Back to Running the Snoopy Rides and Worlds of Fun, and let The Mama Grizzles run things from now on!
Conspiracies, rumors, whatever no longer matter.
Palin could immediately end all this talk by simply saying whether she is running or not running.
The ball is in her court, and she's not shooting.
Quit dribbling, Sarah...shoot the darn ball.
I am excited!
I trust rintense. Of course she still has to date me, but I still trust her, in anticipation of that date.
"Erickson wrote. They are trying to settle on a candidate now"
THEY are not trying to settle on a candidate as long as there are all those names in the mix. What THEY are trying to do is make sure the Democrat's pick (Mitt) is not the winner.
Milt: "See you in twelve years, partner
when I will STILL be running for President."
If the point is to put the widest variety of ideas on the table and hash out which are the best ones, I'm all for it. The more voices, the better - this country needs a good brainstorming session and it's not going to come from the scions of Columbia, Harvard and Yale (who got us into this mess, just like they got us into the Great Depression).
disclaimer: not a Palin supporter and see no need for her to be in the race as a candidate
I note Rick Perry's name was not mentioned among the heavy weights listed in the article.
How in the hell can she be part of a debate without being a candidate? Am I missing something here? Or, is the plan that she would have announced by that date?
The dog and pony show of Palin grabbing and gasping for limelight without being a candidate is really getting tiring.
Even if we grant your assumptions that A) Crow was a Perry supporter and B) he was trying to mess Palin up (neither of which is proven to my knowledge), what does that have to do with Perry himself? If we are going to judge the candidates by what their supporters do, then I could never support Sarah even if she got the nomination, simply due to the behavior of her supporters here on FR.
I love Sarah, but you are correct.
This crap is getting OLD.
I got nothing on this onyx....premature article maybe.
Erickson needs to shut up and go pound sand with his RINO buddies. The election is in November 2012 and NOT November 2011.
I absolutely vote on the supporters of a candidate, not the candidate itself. The candidate is completely unimportant in any given race. The important consideration is who supports them.
Sarah hasn't confirmed anything. This story is incorrect per CNN.
"Invitations were extended to the eight Republicans who will appear on stage in Tampa as well as former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. Giuliani declined the debate invitation, while a Palin representative has yet to respond to it."
Confirmed: Rick Perry, Michele Bachmann, Mitt Romney, Ron Paul, Newt Gingrich, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, and Jon Huntsman.
Says all you need to know about the current field, then, doesn't it?
What kind of poll? Rasmussen, Gallup, Public Policy Polling?
Erikson = Romney cheerleader. No wonder he's miffed.
Bachmann was not a candidate when she participated in the first GOP debate. Most debates will invite potential candidates with over a 5% poll ranking. Palin was invited.
Rick Perry is attending. Sarah is not (yet.) See post 21.
This bullsh!t is the EXACT thing she will be speaking about tomorrow. And I hope to God she takes some direct shots at the players.
I saw your post but that is not what the original article states.
That article was published yesterday. This one bears today's date. All part of the media frenzie, but Governor Palin has a special place in heart for TEA PARTY EXPRESS, so we shall see how this plays out. I pinged Syncro first, hoping he might know for sure.
I am going to Tampa for this debate, so I sure hope she plans to participate.
Heck, I will be thrilled if she's on hand!
POT / KETTLE = your idiot post is not helpful.
So when? What sort of food is okay for you? Formal or informal? Movie before or after?
Does the "hittibleness" of candidates' supports enter into the mix?
You too. Let's us all go on a group date.
I echo your every word. She will *Go Rogue* when she's ready. She has the keenest political instincts of anyone I've ever seen.
In the interim, she has my prayers and my solid support.
Run, Sarah, Run! PLEASE!
You are head and shoulders and all the rest of you, above any of the other candidates. Do not pay attention to what the propaganda press are trying to do to you.
And so the media have you drinking their koolaid. Everytime one of these things happen, it's from some source outside of the Palin camp.
Someone in the media announces that she has decided something and too many people, especially Freepers, just gobble it up like it was Gospel. When she announces something, it is on her Facebook account.
I checked, she has not announced participation in the Sept 12th debate. When she announces it, I will believe it.
Otherwise it is a media dog and pony show just trying to get stupid people to believe it is Sarah Palin's dog and pony show.
Are you coming to Tampa on the 12 of September? I keep pinging you!
Even if Crow is a Perry supporter, and that's questionable...he could be a covert Gingrich supporter trying to hurt Perry for all we know...but even if he was a perry supporter, that doesn't mean that perry gave an order to mess up palin.
And, if we blame Perry for a bad supporter, then we have to blame every candidate every time on of their supporters does something out of line. That's an impossible standard.
What makes you say this? She's having much too much fun to settle down and make a serious decision.
All this amateur-hour stuff is starting to turn me from a solid Palin supporter to one of those who wishes she'd just stay out of it.
Any links to Crow? First I've heard of this....
Her speech tomorrow is being televised on CSPAN and now I'm hearing the cables want to carry it too, but they will cut away. I think we'll have to have a nice LIVE thread!
Hmmmmm. :) That's awfully close... dunno if I can schedule that one.... where you live?
I found one.Never mind
always love readin your opinion....
I'm constantly amazed the knee jerk reaction of some freepers who only read the a. and , and the's .of an article and conclude an opinion
Did you know Sarah Palin one shot a Moose ridin a Kawasaki 650 dirt bike in Oklahoma ?
of course it ain't true but some here will run with it as if it were
Almost nobody wants her to run. I know, because I heard it on a Faux News poll ( repeatedly).
None of this is her fault. The press can't get enough of her.

Sabres stumble in OT against Flames
BUFFALO -- Paul Byron and Matt Stajan scored as the Calgary Flames started a five-game road trip with a 2-1 overtime win over the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday afternoon.
Karri Ramo made 26 saves for the Flames, who have won their past three road games.
Matt Moulson scored for the Sabres, while Jhonas Enroth made 24 saves in the loss.
Stajan's overtime winner came just 42 seconds into the period, as his wrist shot beat Enroth to the goalie's left. Byron had two points against the team that drafted him in 2007.
The teams were scoreless in the third period when Zemgus Girgensons made a strong rush down the right side of the Flames' zone before sliding a backhand pass into the slot. Moulson shot it by Ramo at the 5:40 mark for his 11th goal of the season and his first in six games.
The Flames tied the game less than 3 minutes later when defenseman Chris Butler picked up the puck behind the Buffalo net and passed to Byron in front, who scored his first goal of the season.
Butler and Byron were traded from Buffalo to Calgary at the 2011 NHL Draft for Robyn Regehr, Ales Kotalik and a draft pick.
The Sabres came close to opening the scoring nearly 11 minutes into the game, when Ramo lost sight of the puck in his crease. Matt Stajan knocked the net off its moorings before Ville Leino could score.
Calgary scored in the final minute of the first period, but the goal was disallowed and the Flames were assessed a penalty for too many men on the ice.
Girgensons and Tyler Myers both put shots off the goal post in the second period as both teams struggled to find quality scoring chances.
Enroth was at his best during the second period, stopping 13 Flames shots, but his finest moment came with a glove stop of Joe Colborne shortly after Buffalo took the lead.
- Kings 5, Senators 2: At Ottawa, Anze Kopitar scored twice to lead Los Angeles to its sixth straight victory.
- The Edmonton Oilers traded goalie Jason LaBarbera to the Chicago Blackhawks for future considerations.

Okay, we don't have any actual discussions going on yet in this forum, and I figure it's nigh about time.Absolutely nothing that follows should be taken at face value. IT WAS GOOD ENOUGH FOR…Continue
Duck , you did make me lol after a shitty day at work earlier ;-D
Yeah , Way' , bottled water grrrr !
LOL Duck, good ones.
If I'm going to pay $1.50 for a bottle of water, it's ruddy well going to have some hopps and alcohol in it.
1. Money cannot buy happiness - but it's far more comfortable to cry in a Porsche than on a bicycle.
2. Forgive your enemy - but remember the asshole's name.
3. If you help someone when they're in trouble - they will remember you when they're in trouble again.
4. Alcohol does not solve any problems - but then neither does milk.
5. Many people are alive only because it's illegal to shoot them.
Condoms do not guarantee safe sex.
A friend was wearing one when he was shot by the woman's husband.
Lovers help each other undress before sex.
However after sex, they always dress on their own.
Moral of the story -- In life, no one helps you once you're screwed.
When a lady is pregnant, all her friends touch the stomach and say, "Congrats".
But, none of them comes up to the man - touches his penis and say, "Good job".
Moral of the story -- Hard work is rarely appreciated.
Out of "focus" good one Duck! So if don't listen it won't happen? I haven't been listening for years! Just imagine all the crisis that didn't happen because I wasn't listening. They should give me a medal!
Ah, Pete, be careful and remember that when you aren't driving, you could be out of focus.
Yes Wayfinder, cigarettes are actually dinosaur repellent.
"I seem to remember back in the late 70's & 80's they were warning us a new ice age!?? What happened?"
We didn't listen. Just because it hasn't happened yet...
It's like leaving the tap on when filling a bathtub. It'll be fine for a while.
And yeah, you know politicians. They actually were born with two mouths but had them surgically altered to look like the rest of us.
And nap... mmmmm... naps...
I really am an old fart. Never thought I'd look forward to naps.
Actually, I don't look forward to them. They take a huge chunk out of my day that I could be building.
Oh and Bristol, they're not sure whether it was dinosaurs farting or all that cigarette smoke that killed them off. ; )
Man, I knew I should of stayed in bed. Just a couple of quick points:
As a Vietnam Combat Vet I can tell ya there are no atheists in a fox hole.
I'm just a dumb guitar picker, but if I remember 6th grade science learning that the earth constantly goes thru periods of cooling and warming.
I seem to remember back in the late 70's & 80's they were warning us a new ice age!?? What happened?
Last point follow the money: Mr. Gore & others have made millions off global warming all the while flying around in their private jets.
While in college I helped organized the first earth day & pushed for the formation of an ecology dept. Also help start a farmer's market. I own 1 car a Ford Focus so I'm not a red neck as some may think.
Now I really got to take a nap!
It's been said the Dinosaurs literally farted so much they caused global warming and started the ice age. Funny how some young uns refer to us golden oldies as Dinosaurs...
A lot of the problems come from methane gas which has been created by all of the "old farts" farting.

HARRISBURG - There's more at stake Tuesday than determining which Democrat will face off against Gov. Corbett in the fall.
Voters in the state's southeastern corner will also choose party nominees for Congress, decide whether embattled state legislators deserve to stand for reelection, and settle the ticket in some unexpected primary contests.
Among the most heated races is one pitting four Democrats vying for the nomination in the 13th Congressional District, which straddles the Philadelphia-Montgomery County border. The seat opened when U.S. Rep. Allyson Y. Schwartz decided to run for governor.

OSHA Trade Release
U.S. Department of Labor
Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Office of Communications
Washington, D.C.
For Immediate Release
OSHA Trade Release
April 14, 2005
Contact: Bill Wright
Phone: (202) 693-1999
Exercise in Connecticut and New Jersey
WASHINGTON -- The simulated release of biological and chemical agents in New Jersey and Connecticut set the stage for this year's TOPOFF 3 exercise involving top level public and private officials, including those from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
TOPOFF 3, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Office of State and Local Government Coordination and Preparedness, was the third Congressionally-mandated biennial exercise designed to strengthen the nation's capacity to prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks involving weapons of mass destruction.
"Our role is to help safeguard the health and safety of thousands of workers who respond to incidents of national significance," said Acting Assistant Secretary of Labor for OSHA Jonathan L. Snare. "The role-playing afforded to us through TOPOFF exercises helps us hone our capabilities to prevent additional fatalities and serious accidents involving rescue and recovery workers."
OSHA joined numerous other Federal departments and agencies, the United Kingdom, Canada, the states of Connecticut and New Jersey, and representatives of the private sector during the weeklong exercise that began April 4. OSHA's participation centered on its overall role in emergency response which is to ensure that threats to worker safety and health are anticipated, recognized, evaluated, and controlled consistently so that response and recovery workers are properly protected. This role is highlighted in the Worker Safety and Health Support Annex included in the DHS National Response Plan (NRP).
Consistent with the annex, OSHA worked with other safety and health professionals at the federal and state levels to address worker safety and health issues. Employees from OSHA's Boston and New York regions and the agency's chemical and biological response teams were sent to the incident sites as well as the various response coordination centers in New Jersey and Connecticut.
OSHA personnel participating in TOPOFF exercises are familiar with chemical, biological, physical and structural collapse hazards, and include occupational safety and health specialists, industrial hygienists, safety engineers, occupational physicians, occupational nurses, and health physicists.
Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthful workplace for their employees. OSHA's role is to assure the safety and health of America's workers by setting and enforcing standards; providing training, outreach, and education; establishing partnerships; and encouraging continual process improvement in workplace safety and health. For more information, visit www.osha.gov.

A little about what we do.
Aveland Trees has been successfully planting woods and hedges for over 30 years. The planting season runs from the beginning of November through to the end of March. Woodland Planting Choice of species, density of planting and planting patterns are all critical decisions to be made that will have a lasting influence on the management […]
Newly planted woodlands need to be cared for by weeding for the first 2 or 3 years but once the young trees are established and growing well they can be left alone for 20 years or so until they have formed a canopy dense enough to shade out most of the ground vegetation. This is […]
Aveland Trees grows native trees and shrubs from seed that we collect ourselves. Excess seed (Hawthorn and Blackthorn in particular) is grown on contract for us by other British nurseries. This way Aveland Trees controls the seed source of its plants while benefiting from the economies of scale and excellent growing conditions of the larger […]
Managing Chalara; Ash Die Back Disease
Ash trees are a natural part of the British flora and Chalara is a naturally occurring fungal disease. It is difficult to see why man should be getting involved, particularly as the native Ash population seems so well equipped to deal with the problem by itself.
Planting woods as a crop or as an ecosystem
For many years new woodlands in Britain have been planted as a crop. An assessment is made to determine the most suitable species of tree to plant with regard to the soil type, climate and likely return from the mature timber. Usually just one species was planted to simplify management of the crop; after all […]
Where to Plant a Wood
Many sites are suitable for woodland planting; arable fields, grass paddocks etc.

Quillin vs McEwan Could Open Angulo-Kirkland Card
By Shaun Brown
A merry-go-round is in motion as to who unbeaten Peter Quillin (25-0, 19KOs) may be fighting next, in what would be his fourth contest this year.
As reported on BoxingScene earlier today. Sam Soliman is the frontrunner to fight 'Kid Chocolate' in an IBF middleweight title eliminator. However, on Monday, Craig McEwan's trainer Billy Nelson had posted on a boxing forum that his man would be fighting Quillin on Nov 5 in Cancun, Mexico. The fight would open up the HBO televised clash between junior middleweights Alfredo Angulo and James Kirkland.
I spoke to Quillin about the Scot as a possible future opponent.
"Something was mentioned to me about the McEwan (19-1, 10KOs) fight and I would definitely take that opportunity. If we fought, there would certainly be no hard feelings because we trained together at the Wild Card gym. Besides, you don't have any friends in this business," Quillin said.
The unbeaten middleweight (although he can also make 168lbs) has every sympathy with the Scot's current situation which sees him having only fought once in 2011 and seen a number of bouts fall through with high profile names.
"I read the recent article (on BoxingScene.com) regarding his situation. He's looking for opportunities like we all are. He's coming off a great fight with another contender (Andy Lee) and it'd be a career defining fight for me if the deal was made."
"I rate McEwan as very dangerous. And given what's happening to him right now he's like a dog with his back up against the wall. But you can look it at it two ways. We all want fighters fighting the best but the other side is does it make good business sense? The money has to be found from somewhere and people have to want to pay for the fight."
Why every time card is held in mexico they put fights like this? It doesnt make sense. Like theydid with broner wtf was the point. Put another mexican fighter they should have periban fight some of noteComment by ghns1133 on 09-27-2011
makeit happen once u break through to the top 20 there shouldnt be any easy fightsComment by UglyPug on 09-27-2011
I love this fight. . . McEwan is an excellent boxer/puncher (although he doesn't have mcuh of a punch). . . He's certainly a smallish middleweight who could easily be fighting at 154, so the size is definitely against him…Comment by Check on 09-27-2011
2 entertaining fights for about a third of the price of even the medium cards HBO puts on. Look forward to this night, kinda of wish Quilin would put the pedal to the metal though. Kid could be beating top…Comment by chiguy91 on 09-27-2011
[QUOTE=Freedom.;11218553]McEwen would be foolish to take this fight. After being brutally KOed in his last fight, he's need a confidence-building warm-up before facing someone Quillan.[/QUOTE] i agree, mcewan is going to lose this fight. if he's up for it, props…Post a Comment - View More User Comments (6)

Baylor, Notre Dame battle for spot in Final Four
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Muffet McGraw and Notre Dame have been on a journey all season to get back to the Final Four.
They've met every challenge, running through the season unbeaten.
With a victory over Baylor tonight, the Irish, led by Villa Maria graduate Kayla McBride, will join a select group of schools to make four straight Final Fours.
Only UConn, LSU, Stanford, Louisiana Tech and Tennessee have accomplished that feat.
"If that happens that would be a great thing for our program," McGraw said. "It sets us apart from others. Having Skylar (Diggins) lead us to three was fun, but now to have a different team to do that. It's a really great thing for our program."
Standing in the way is a young Baylor team led by senior guard Odyssey Sims. Coach Kim Mulkey didn't know what to expect from her team which lost two-time AP Player of the Year Brittney Griner and four other seniors. Sims, who helped guide Baylor to a national title and 40-0 season as a sophomore, would love to get them to Nashville.
"It would mean a lot, seeing all year nobody expected us to be here" Sims said. "This team has grown faster than all of us really expected. The freshmen came a long way and stepped up to the plate. They learned their role and are giving us a lot of production. It would feel unbelievable."
But now the Lady Bears are back in the regional final for the fourth time in five seasons.
They return a year after the team was eliminated in the regional semifinals by Louisville in one of the biggest upsets in women's basketball history.
Mulkey knows it will be a tall task for her team to knock off the Irish at home. A place where they have won 27 straight games with the last loss coming against Baylor on Dec. 5, 2012.
"We don't embrace it, we have no choice," Mulkey said.
The Lady Bears should enter the game with some confidence.
Baylor is 4-0 all-time against Notre Dame and is one of only two schools that Muffet McGraw never has beaten.
All four contests have come in the past few years, including a victory in the 2012 NCAA championship game.
"We don't have a 6-foot-8monster in the paint that gave us an advantage," Sims said. "It will be a grind out game, very physical, they have great guards who can shoot 3s, take you off the dribble. We got to play hard and hopefully come out with the 'W.' "
Baylor will have to extend that streak on the Irish's home court, which is no small task.
Notre Dame has gone 77-5 at Purcell Pavilion over the past five seasons, including their current 27-game winning streak.
However, it should be a high-scoring game.
No game in the NCAA tournament has had two teams so prolific at offense.
Notre Dame ranks second in scoring (86.8) while Baylor is third (84.0).
"We like to play uptempo and the fans like to enjoy a lot of offense," McGraw said. "Certainly there will be a lot of shots. I think it will be a fun uptempo game."

Great Job for the driver and all rescue.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Deputies from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office responded to a report that a tree had fallen on a school bus Thursday morning.
Deputies and fire rescue personnel arrived at the scene to find a large tree that had fallen across the roadway, coming to rest on the front of the bus. Power lines were brought down and laid across the top rear of the bus.
Twenty children and a driver were inside the school bus. After assessing the situation, fire personnel backed a rescue truck to the rear emergency exit of the bus and opened the doors. They boarded the bus and evacuated the children and driver through the rescue truck. No one was injured.
The children were loaded onto a second bus and taken to their elementary school.
The bus driver, Linda Mae Anderson, told deputies that she saw the tree falling and attempted to move out of the way and stop the bus. The vigilance and swift reaction by Anderson likely prevented a tragedy, according to the sheriff's office.
