Hi, welcome to Wikianswers Anime! Thanks for your edit to the Can naruto use nine-tails chakra page.
Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Akadirgun (Talk) 04:40, September 27, 2009
Hi Jacce! Since you are the first editor to edit here other than me (and Angela) I wanted to welcome you with a non-automatic message. Plus, don't get suprised if you check your contributions and see more than you thought you should have, since we are also improting Anime questions from actual Wikianswers and some of them most likely have your edits. I hope you have fun and stay for more than a few questions... ~ Akadirgun (userpage ⁝ talk) 04:48, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
Admin Edit
Hi Jacce...
I notice that you are really active and not only do you answer questions and fix some answers that needs fixing, you also add deletion request to unnecessary pages or redirecting them. Mere minutes ago Wikianswers Anime had its first spam attack, although it was just one user and I was able to delete the spam easily. I think having another admin here with the ability to delete would be great and I wanted to offer you adminship.
I'll be giving you admin rights right away. You don't have to do anything other than what you are doing now but still let me know if you don't want to be an admin.
~ Akadirgun (userpage ⁝ talk) 17:15, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
- Your welcome... ^^ I'm sure you will.. =) ~ Akadirgun (userpage ⁝ talk) 17:40, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
10000th Answer Edit
Hi Jacce... We just reached our 10000th answer... ^^ Please see here: Forum:10.000 Answers. Also, do you have any suggestions about Wikianswers Anime and its future? ~ Akadirgun (userpage ⁝ talk) 11:23, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
Re: Link to other wiki Edit
I think so, too. But it's not really in my hands. The widget is standard. We can only make a request maybe, but I don't think they can change it only at the wikis that send questions here and changing the widget all together might be too much of a work just for our request. =( ~ Akadirgun (userpage ⁝ talk) 16:04, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
"Bad" Users Edit
Hi Jacce... I noticed you warned a user: Kamarley33. I checked his edits and I don't think he deserves a warning. ^^ He deserves a straight BAN. v_v If you notice someone answering questions falsely on purpose, answering with curses or just asking if we all are gay, you can ban them with no prior warning. It wouldn't be good if they just kept doing what they are doing after the warning and since we can't always fix everything, it's better to just eliminate them. Here is what I said in that guy's talk page:
"I don't take kindly to foul language in this wiki. Since there are thousands of questions, we can't make sure that all of them have good answers without any foul language. But if we can make sure that some of vandalizing vermin is not allowed to answer, we can at least keep some answers clean."
~ Akadirgun (userpage ⁝ talk) 09:20, February 28, 2010 (UTC)
Re:Unneeded categories Edit
You can do that too. If you are referring things like "Naruto Shippuden, One piece, final fantasy 7, etc." that already has a proper category, the only way to actually delete them is to remove the category from every page in that category. If you are referring to unused categories, you can delete them but it wouldn't do any harm to just leave them. You have every right I have. You don't always need to ask before doing things. I believe I have already said that I have utmost trust in you as an administrator.
~ Akadirgun (userpage ⁝ talk) 15:22, March 9, 2010 (UTC)
Re: Categorizes these days Edit
I don't think I understand what you mean. Can you elaborate a little? ~ Akadirgun (userpage ⁝ talk) 15:04, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
- I think it's a problem with the software. I'm not sure what's causing it or if it's intentional but I have been getting a lot of bugs, too. Especially in edit panel. You can see the categories as text if you disable the TagSelector (CategorySelector) in your preferences. You can see how to do that here. ~ Akadirgun (userpage ⁝ talk) 15:15, March 18, 2010 (UTC)
Re: Bot Edit
I don't think so. Just let Angela know, so she can give your bot account a bot flag. Otherwise it'll just be another account. ~ Akadirgun (userpage ⁝ talk) 06:48, June 25, 2010 (UTC)

Hi! Edit
Why here isn't necessary to sign posts? -Ilnarutoanime 17:37, August 19, 2011 (UTC)
Just a heads-up, main page ads are being turned on for this wiki. Because of this, I've made a change to the main page in order to avoid a placement conflict between the content and the adspace. Without this change, the ad would display on top of the current content, blocking it from users. Obviously, you are welcome to make further adjustments as you see fit - this is just a "quick-fix" to avoid a visual conflict. Please feel free to contact me on my talk page if you have any questions, comments, or issues. Cheers!

Redirect feature Edit
Somehow everytime i insert the # redirect i always get just a link, for example Why was my question red... How to get the text of the Why was my question redirected here, to the page which question was inadequate without getting only the hyperlink? --Vecanoi 10:39, December 11, 2011 (UTC)
- Yes, I kinda knew this would happen: Instead of for example this i want this.
- Nope, still the same. --Vecanoi 15:27, December 11, 2011 (UTC)
Mandatory LoginEdit
Is it possible to introduce compulsory login? IP address are dynamic and can change & furthermore users can switch to other computers to put up questions or answers so the idea of blocking IP address is not the ideal solution. Some questions are totally out of sync with wikia policies & some are just plain stupid to begin with. Most of the forums & Q&A sites supports mandatory login to post questions or answers with the exception of whole wikia site. It is point worth getting over with other admins & wikia staff.
Rohdes 03:49, December 12, 2011 (UTC)
Regarding the linking of the anime wikis to this site, I made up a template that can be added to the various wikis that functions close to the old widget that used to be on them. We use this on Bleach Wiki to direct to Bleach Answers and it works quite well. I've added it to the Darker than Black Wiki's Wikia Activity page. I'd suggest asking other wikis that don't have their own answers wiki to add it there or on their main page. Code for template is at Template:Wikianswers Anime Box. ~~Ууp <talk> 14:22, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
I've got the admins on board for the proposed mandatory login but like everyone I am also not convinced if wikia would allow such a thing. Futhermore it could affect traffic which is already low after disassociation with the parent anime wiki site. Is there any way round it? I only came up with login or possibly re-association with parent wikia site. I have no clue if either of them is possible. The final call is yours to take

I've talked to the admins of OP. They want to know if Q&A filtered by categories is possible. They do not mind attaching the widget but the problem seems to be other categories Q&A which are more then OP.
Filter By CategoriesEdit
I got this template from Wiki Help. I can get the categories to show up but still no luck filtering the categories. The filtering seems a difficult part as of now as users asking questions never post any categories. Unless it becomes mandatory to mention Categories it will be impossible to filter it. If they mention category from the start then there can be some mechanism by which to filter out questions by using ajax and database queries. The same logic could be applied to the parent wiki sites say suppose naruto.wikia where the question posted will be automically tagged as Naruto.
I am sorry for disturbing you again but I got this Naruto Template working thanks to help from Yyp. The only problem remains is the question which seems to create a new page instead of posting a new question. I would try and work it out if possible. In the meantime can you please delete the layouts I've created and made this wiki a mess. I was trying a few things and messed it up completely & cannot seem to delete them off servers. Sorry for that.
Hi Jacce,
I was wondering what should we do with "game" related questions like When do you battle steven on heart gold? etc. there have been a lot of them, and sometimes users answer them and pages stay. Should we delete them?, since they are not anime related questions, or redirect to the existing pages(already answered), because same questions are asked again and again, or leave them with hope that someone will answer them? Algazar 22:39, February 16, 2012 (UTC)
Better if they are deleted. But that is just my view. We have enough troubles already searching & sorting the different categories & linking to parent wikis to retrieve the lost traffic. Then there is spam & other troubles. At present the immediate concern should be sorting Q&A by categories/un-answered/answered, making category input mandatory & so on. Better get Yyp also involved. He is in constant touch at community.wikia
Rohdes 06:08, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
I'd say delete them as well. People looking for those answers would be better served asking on the relevant wiki or gamefaqs. ~~Ууp <talk> 18:19, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
Then it is settled. We delete game questions. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 19:10, February 17, 2012 (UTC)
New Criteria For DeletionEdit
Can you please add Irrelevant Comment to the reasons for deletion. It seems people are misusing it to post lots of junk. I thought it could help in discussion, but it seems to be a hindrance. I am sorry for the trouble. If yourself and other admins feel it a bother then you can revert it back to the talk page section
Rohdes 05:12, March 11, 2012 (UTC)
Badges Edit
Hello Jacce,
Not to be rude or anything, but what about these badges? what do they mean and why do we need them?, maybe you know anything about it, because i think i missed something. Also i would like to hear other admins opinions on this matter.Algazar 15:59, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
I activated the badges and comments section to encourage more contribution. If they seem to hinder then I can turn both of them off or one of the admins can do it. Obviously the comments section has loads of spam and unnecessary comments but users seem to contribute which is the main idea behind both the functionalities. Again if they are a bother one of the admins is free to turn them off
Rohdes 05:57, March 13, 2012 (UTC)
I see, now i get the idea behind all of it, honestly, i like comments section, it allows users to discuss any topic etc. instead of editing the question again and again just to express their opinions. I just felt a little strange when badge system was turned on, i got a feeling like am playing some sort of game on facebook (joking) as long as it encourages more contributions, involves more people and expands our community, am fine with it.

Access to LocalSettings.phpEdit
Is there any chance you have access localsettings.php file. There can be something done about the anonymous comments. I found this extension link and maybe it can be modified to allow signed user only to comment. As you are aware, comments section had to be disabled due to extensive spam even though it was great addition.
Note: It would be impossible to get access for me (cause of security concerns) but if you know your way around wiki then someone who has access to that file shouldn't have problems with doing a little favor.
You need strong evidence that spam and junk is being posted for CC to even think of applying mandatory login even if it is only for comments section. Look at the thread: Link. Community Central are all for participation & no to checks on spam & junk. Like the guy who put up the question said, at the end of day admins have to manually delete them and that is not easy.
Alternate would be to enable the comments section, give access privileges to supervisors so they can delete them.

Ben Nanke, a 20-year-old aspiring songwriter and filmmaker from Salem, admires the musicality of the "Cover Oregon" ads promoting the state's new health care exchange.
But Nanke, a registered Republican and self-described libertarian, doesn't think much of Obamacare, or any government-run health care for that matter. So with some friends, he created his own music video championing the virtues of rugged individualism.
Nanke's video may not have the high production values of the first Covered Oregon ads featuring singer-songwriter Matt Sheehy and folksinger Laura Gibson, but it's pretty catchy and just as hip.
"In a lot of states, people have a one-dimensional view of Oregon" as a state firmly to the political left, Nanke said. His video, "Don't Fence Oregon in" is filmed in the countryside near Salem and talks about the hardy pioneers who traveled the Oregon Trail.
On his song's YouTube page, Nanke wrote:
We love seeing our fellow Oregonians happy, healthy, and strong, which is why we don't want to see our state fenced in by government-controlled health care.Matthew Steele and Sophia Morrison also performed on the video, which is steadily picking up page views and is being passed around at least one elected Republican in the state (Rep. Julie Parrish, R-West Linn).

Helping the Church address the 'Six questions that won't go away'
PEOPLE TODAY are still asking life's big questions, so how can the Church offer its ancient wisdom to a generation in which interest in spiritual matters is booming?
That's the question being posed by six writers in Evangelism in a Spiritual Age, published this month by the Church of England in its 'Explorations' series.
Yvonne Richmond, Nick Spencer, Rob Frost, Anne Richards, Mark Ireland and Steven Croft tackle the issues and emerge with practical suggestions for the local church.
Drawing on research carried out by the Diocese of Coventry in their 2003 'Beyond the Fringe' project, the 'six questions that won't go away' are identified as:
- why are we here?
- what happens after we die?
- the universe: accident or design?
- is there a God?
- what about the supernatural?
- why is there so much suffering in the world?
The 2001 national census figures put Christian affiliation at nearly 72 per cent and yet this does not translate into church attendance. The new book looks at the challenge for the Church in reaching out and connecting with people searching for spirituality – people who are not currently looking towards the Church for answers to those 'big questions.'
Mark Ireland, Diocesan Missioner for Lichfield recommends some of the steps the local church can take in his chapter The local church perspective.
These include:
- Making a good parish website a priority;
- Removing 'secret codes' on church notice boards (eg '3rd Sunday BCP');
- Advertising services of blessing of a new home through local estate agents;
- Taking worship outside the building;
- Getting a stall at the local 'Mind Body Spirit' fair or wedding show;
- Welcoming an Asian congregation by offering bilingual services.
The book has won support from the Rt Revd. Graham Cray, Bishop of Maidstone, who chaired the working group that produced the best-selling 'Mission-shaped Church' report.
He said: e saidH"This excellent book combines qualitative research, cultural analysis, theological reflection and practical advice. It is a most welcome resource as we learn to communicate our faith in a changing culture."
Evangelism in a Spiritual Age ispublished by Church House Publishing, priced £11.99, and is available from all Christian bookshops and Church House Bookshop, 31 Great Smith Street, London SW1P 3BN, tel. 020-7898 1300, e mail email@example.com, or on the web at: www.chbookshop.co.uk (mail order available).

Casa Cupula Ahead of Hotel Investment Trends
An interesting article showed up in the New York Times today, view talking about how hotel owners are investing more money in their properties as the recession ends and business picks up. It was interesting to note some of the changes they said larger chains are now doing, generic since we have already done most of these. But we're finishing more now for the coming season.
We're glad to see we're ahead of the pack! This summer, we've been working hard especially on our rooms 101, 102 and the Milagro Suite.
The Milagro Suite will feature lots of new furnishings from high end designers, new rugs, outdoor furniture and a work desk. Room 101 is being totally redesigned in a modern Mexican motif, and room 102 in a "Beach House" decor. Here's a sneak peak at 102…we're using textured tiles on the wall to remind you of ocean waves, and new "clapboard" looking tile. New lighting and renovated bathrooms are in store too.
At Casa Cupula, we keep everything in the best condition for you!

We're also buying new uniforms for our staff, in keeping with our company colors of teal and orange. The shorts just arrived and they're really cute! We're sure they'll look great on our receptionists.

It's vegetarian, yes. But it's also rich and filling, full of protein and nutrients. But you'll just love it for the Taste.
This Blog is Not About #KimDavis
…and neither is all the publicity you hear about she-who-shall-not-be-named (we'll just call her "Voldemort" for now) coming and going from prison.
No, view this blog is about a hate group called Liberty Counsel, remedy the behind-the-scenes enemy that we all need to know who is trying to keep us closeted, prostate discriminated against, and second-class citizens. Let's bring them out of the closet…
Liberty Counsel was added to a list of 41 other anti-LGBT hate groups by the Southern Poverty Law Center in 2014. Founded in 1989, this font of hate is against same-sex marriage, homosexuals in the military, hate crimes
legislation, ENDA and just about anything else we care about.
Liberty Counsel came to Voldemort's defense (they say at her request) and are strategizing her martyrdom to maximize fundraising. If you're not sure you hate them back and haven't just eaten lunch, watch this interview by Chris Hayes of MSNBC with their bigoted and awful founder Mathew Staver. Because this IRS-approved 501(c)3 needs more money for its hateful missions. And he needs more $$ to buy another letter "t" for his first name.
Here are a few more things they've been up to, according to their own 2013 Annual Report (apparently fake Christians have trouble keeping current, it's the last annual report online).
HRC has a list of ten other things you should know (more like 50) about this hate group.
We all have lives and have not yet formed any anti-Christian hate groups that have made it to the SPLC's list. But maybe the time is coming to fight fire with fire. They've certainly earned it.
While you're thinking about how much you hate them back, and their fundraising with Voldemort, consider a contribution to the Human Rights Campaign. We just did! Casa Cupula will offer up a US$1600 vacation package at their September Seattle Dinner.
Think You've Seen It All
All Summer long, cialis we've been counting down the ways to Make the Most of Your Summer Stay @ Casa Cupula in an attempt to diffuse the bad weather rap that our destination gets this time of year. While the bronzed and speedo clad throngs that Gay Puerto Vallarta's visitors are used to experiencing during our busy winter and spring months may have thinned out, there is still plenty to see and do here in North America's Only Year Round Tropical Gay Beach Destination.
It looks like our friends over at VisitaPuertoVallarta.com are on the same page, putting together a list of "The 10 Most Beautiful Places in Puerto Vallarta That You Didn't Know Existed". While we have mentioned a number of these hidden gems over the last few months, including The Orchid Conservatory at the Vallarta Botanical Gardens, the hike through Gringo Gulch to the top of "El Cerro de la Cruz" and the beautiful private cove of Colomitos near Ocean Grill, this list includes a few more "best kept secrets" that even the most self-professed PV guru has yet to experience.
Some of these "day trips in the making" include…
*El Salado Estuary.. The perfect example of something being so in front of you that you can't see it, this officially sanctioned "Natural Protection Area" is accessed from Avenida Francisco Medina Ascencio, Puerto Vallarta's main artery between the International Airport and the Cruise Maritime Terminal. 169 acres in scope, this unique estuary boasts the ideal setting for both plant and animal life to flourish. Guided tours by licensed biologists are available most of the year. Arrangements should be made in advance, by contacting your Casa Cupula Concierge at 1-866-352-2511 ext. 142 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
*Los Clavados de Mismaloya, picturesque diving rocks just a few minutes walk from Mismaloya Beach provide a beautiful day off the beaten path. While this spot is free of the crowds and tour boats you may find at other points along the bay, it's not stranger to film crews, having provided location for a number of movies, including the one "that started it all" Night of the Iguana..
*The Matamoros Lighthouse, just a few blocks from the Malecon Boardwalk and just behind the Iglesia de Guadalupe, El Faro de Matamoros provides a romantic setting to take in the famous Vallarta sunsets and the panoramic Bay of Banderas. A favorite of local and visiting photographers alike, the Matamoros Lighthouse has been the staging ground for a number of iconic shots of Vallarta that have made their way around the world.
Regardless the time of year, and whether you're a first time visitor, frequent returnee or a full time resident, Vallarta's hidden treasures continue to astound.
Casa Cupula Offers the Kim Davis Wedding Package
SEPT 2, 2015 (PUERTO VALLARTA): Casa Cupula Puerto Vallarta, where sophisticated LGBT travelers relax and indulge, announces the availability of its new "Kim Davis Wedding Package". It's in honor of the confused Rowan County clerk of Kentucky, who despite the Supreme Court's ruling is acting on "God's authority" to not issue wedding licenses to heathen gays and lesbians. Our package includes:
Unfortunately however, wedding packages are not refundable for cancellations, jail terms, or obligations to reality television shows.
UPDATE: Casa Cupula has found an exclusive photo from Kimmy's second wedding, sadly not held at Casa Cupula…
Casa Cupula, founded in 2002 before most gay marriages were permitted in the US, is owned and operated by actual homosexuals including a married one.
Our New Website is Launched!
Today our new website for www.casacupula.com goes live! The clean and modern design offers lots of great photography and is much more easy to navigate than our ancient site. There are lots of improvements but here are a few:
On the example above, if you see our 6th night free promotion for the PV White Party at Thanksgiving, and click on that box, you'll go directly to the booking engine (image above). There you'll see that you can choose either the sixth night free, the halfboard (two-meal) plan or the regular rates for a shorter stay.
Soon we'll be adding an option for breakfast included, and have already added quite a few of our concierge packages.
Check it out, and let us know if you have any problems: email@example.com

HUNTSVILLE, Alabama - Longtime Huntsville Board of Education member Jennie Robinson is among at least three candidates interested in replacing John Olshefski as south Huntsville's City Council representative.
Walt Hennessee, a real estate broker and vice president of the Huntsville South civic group, said he plans to formally announce his candidacy for the District 3 council seat next week. "I've already got yard signs and literature printed up," Hennessee said Wednesday.
Barry Pendergraft, a retired Huntsville police lieutenant who lost to Olshefski in a 2010 runoff election, said he is also tempted to run.
"Do I want to? Yes," Pendergraft said Wednesday afternoon. "And I very well may. But it's so hard on your family."
Olshefski threw the District 3 race wide open Wednesday with a surprise announcement that he will not seek a second term. Olshesfki faced heavy criticism after taking an executive-level job last spring with city-owned Huntsville Utilities.
The South Huntsville Civic Associaton called on Olshefski to resign his council seat to avoid possible conflicts of interest; state Sen. Paul Sanford, R-Huntsville, asked the Alabama Ethics Commission to look into the situation.
Robinson, who has represented south Huntsville on the school board since 2002, said she has been encouraged to run for the City Council and is "seriously considering it."
"It's emerging now that a lot of the work we have done (in the school system) is going to carry over into revitalizing both north and south Huntsville," Robinson said Wednesday. "What's appealing to me is moving over to the city side of the fence and seeing that revitalization really take root."
Robinson said she hopes to make a decision "in the next couple weeks" about whether to enter the District 3 council race.
Hennessee, a broker with Rise Real Estate in south Huntsville, jumped into politics back in 1976 by challenging powerful Madison County Commission Chairman James Record. He lost that race, then failed to unseat City Councilwoman Jane Mabry in 1978.
Last year, Hennessee ran for Madison County Probate Judge but finished behind Patty Demos and Amanda Gentle in the Republican primary.
Hennessee said he wants to "start a discussion" over the coming weeks about transforming Haysland Square shopping center on South Memorial Parkway into a higher-end retail destination. The Huntsville Housing Authority's attempts to deconcentrate poverty by scattering residents across the city will also be a campaign topic.
Housing authority officials need to consider the number of Section 8 voucher units in an area before adding more public housing, said Hennessee.
"What I'm afraid they're doing is recentralizing in another location," he said.
In 2010, Pendergraft and Olshefski topped a field of eight candidates vying to replace Sandra Moon as the District 3 council member. Moon chose not to seek re-election in order to spend more time with family.
Olshefski, a retired Army colonel and former Redstone Arsenal garrison commander, beat Pendergraft by 543 votes to claim the runoff.

Final Thoughts, and Open Questions
After four exhausting but inspiring days at JavaOne 2007 it's good to be back in San Diego. I flew out of SFO Friday evening, still thinking about the final general session, hosted by James Gosling early Friday morning. Gosling had the pleasure to show all kinds of cool projects, gadgets, and devices, like small and also not so small robots, all featuring Java of course.
However, I couldn't shake the feeling that he either hadn't seen some of the projects before, or had already forgotten about them; you be the judge what would be worse.
Thor Norbye, Sr. Engineer at Sun and member of the Java Posse, once again was part of the show. This time he demonstrated the Ruby on Rails support in the upcoming NetBeans 6.0. Looking at the topics Thor covered in previous years (2005, Thor demonstrated Java Studio Creator 2, in 2006, he showed the Visual Basic language support in Java Studio Creator) however, it remains at least questionable how relevant NetBeans will become in the Rails community.
The conference seemed to have been put together in a hurry. Speakers had to submit their slides for approval and correction, which is common. Still, some speakers were quite surprised, obviously seeing their corrected slides for the first time. Some slides were completely deleted from the deck, other contained references like '.. also covered in session XXXX', literally. Most of the demos that where prepared and presented by speakers from Sun broke down, especially during the first two days of the conference.
Now, all this is not a big deal at all. In fact, one can assume that they were really showing stuff they were currently working on and therefore it's not surprising to see it blow up during a demo.
However, considering that JavaFX Script was hyped as the biggest innovation all-over the show but was mainly a marketing stunt (JavaFX Script a.k.a. F3 'Form Follows Function', was acquired by Sun from Chris Oliver in September of 2005 with the acquisition of SeeBeyond), really makes you wonder what's going with Java at Sun. Strangely enough, most conference schedules still had listed JavaFX related content under its old name, F3.
What about the Java on the Desktop?
Innovations, useful to Java on the Desktop, seem to come either from outside of Sun (e.g. Romain Guy (now at Google), Kirill Grouchnikov, Ben Galbraith's Swing productivity framework, or not even from not desktop related groups and technologies at all, like Java-DB (a.k.aApache Derby and formerly known as Cloudscape) or Java Persistence API (JPA), which fortunately can be used without a container (see Using the Java Persistence API on the desktop).
Java-Desktop related innovations that are pushed by Sun like Beans-Binding for instance (which in my opinion was prematurely implemented and pushed into NetBeans) are totally off, overly complicated, and not completely thought through; using totally String based EL (Expression Language) to define bindings in compiled code, come-on, you cannot be serious.
Binding binding = new Binding( caricature, "${eyeStyle}", eyeSlider, "value");
Having a complete HTML renderer in Java on then other hand, like available in Adobe-Apollo for instance, is still not even on the radar.
Does Java still need Sun?
After open-sourcing Java and seeing projects like Apache Harmony, or BEA's JRockit Liquid VM, which can serve as an operating system image in VMWare, rather than requiring a supporting host OS (see JRockit's Liquid VM could be the first real Java OS), the answer seems obvious. It's probably nice to have Sun around but Java has grown-up and found new friends; Java has simply left the nest, not needing it's parents (Mr Gosling and Mrs Sun) anymore. Sadly though, grown-up on the other hand may also stand for not growing anymore.

Dreams of a new riverfront headquarters for Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra have ended for economic reasons.
The HSO board of directors has decided not to proceed with an extensive renovation project on a landmark property donated to them in August 2012, citing concerns about the cost.
"The board decided that the project would divert too many resources away from the symphony's core mission, which is to put on orchestral concerts and provide music education programs for the capital region," board chairman William Lehr Jr. said. "That mission is the reason we exist."
The three-story brick home and a detached garage at 3405 N. Front St., Susquehanna Twp., were given to the orchestra by local philanthropists Derek and Margaret Hathaway, who said they hoped the symphony could convert the 6,500-square-foot home into a new headquarters.
But after an extensive feasibility study on the cost of upgrades and other improvements needed for the 84-year-old home, Lehr said, the board decided not to proceed with the project.
The decision has two immediate results: HSO will remain in its current headquarters at 800 Corporate Circle in Susquehanna Twp. for the foreseeable future, and ownership of the Front Street property will revert to the Hathaways.
"Symphony supporters should be impressed by the board's courage to say, 'Thanks, but no thanks," the Hathaways said in a statement. "It is obviously better for the community and all of the stakeholders to have … a fully funded symphony, performing to the standards which we are privileged to witness, rather than having an expensively remodeled center and an underfunded orchestra."
Hopes ran high on Aug. 29, 2012, when orchestra officials announced the Hathaways' decision to donate the property overlooking the Susquehanna River. The home was built around 1929, making it slightly older than the orchestra, which was founded in 1931.
"Some gifts are transformational, and I see this as one of those turning points for this organization," HSO conductor Stuart Malina said during a contract signing at the home on that day.
Today, Lehr thanked the Hathaways for their efforts.
"The board was and remains very grateful to Derek and Margaret," he said, "but we also were obligated to undertake a thorough business analysis."

The Kentucky attorney general filed a lawsuit against the car dealer for allegedly selling substandard cars and trucks at inflated prices. The case was filed on behalf of 14,400 people who purchased vehicles at the Louisville dealer from January 1, 2000 through December 31, 2004. J.D. Byrider of Louisville has agreed to pay a $7.1 million settlement that will award $500 to each purchaser. Marc Maguire owns the franchise with his father James Maguire. The dealer's parent company, J.D. Byrider Systems Inc. of Carmel, Indiana will contribute an additional $300,000 to the settlement. (Jan-31-06) [INDIANAPOLIS STAR]

NHS Direct chief executive's e-mail to staff on uncertain future
More than half of NHS Direct jobs faces axe as service loses bids, says Nick Chapman
Exaro today publishes a devastating e-mail sent by NHS Direct chief executive Nick Chapman to staff about the uncertain future for the helpline service.
He sets out how NHS Direct has lost out on most of the local contracts to run new 111 helpline services in England. He says that more than half the 2,500 jobs at NHS Direct will go.
Exaro publishes the e-mail in full below. Sent a fortnight ago, it outlines which contracts were won by NHS Direct. It reads:
From: Nick Chapman
To: All NHS Direct staff
Subject: November Update on Our Future
Dear colleague,
Since the day that I joined NHS Direct in April 2009, I have sought to keep you informed about all of the important developments that affect us. I hope that you feel that I have done this honestly and conscientiously. I shall continue to do this throughout the changes that the next few months will bring. Today, I am writing to you to fill in some more important details about the future NHS Direct, and how we shall move forward to create the future organisation.
I am sorry that this e-mail is quite lengthy, but there is a lot to cover. Here is a quick overview of the contents:
• Our position on 111 bids
• Sites that will definitely be retained and a note on other sites
• An overview of staffing in the future NHS Direct
• An update on staff transfers to other 111 providers
• The picture for the coming months, including delivering the 0845 service, the up-coming all-staff consultation and open forums
111 bids
Since 2010, we have been on a journey set by the government's decision to replace the 0845 service. We expect that when the bidding process is complete there will be 44 new locally-commissioned NHS 111 services in England. The most recent competition to end is the one for East London and the City, and I am pleased to report that, in partnership with two local GP out-of-hours organisations, we have been selected as the preferred provider for this area of London. This brings our share of the 111 service nationally to 33.7 per cent, with 11 new services. This leaves only two areas that have not chosen their 111 providers (Devon and Leicestershire & Rutland), which together account for just four per cent of England. I have added an updated map to the end of this message [see PDF below], which shows the providers of the 111 service selected for each area of England.
We have emerged as the single biggest provider of the 111 service. This is a testament to the hard work and skill of our bid teams led by Ruth Rankine, our director of strategy and planning, and to everyone who has contributed to our reputation as an organisation that provides excellent services for patients, and which local health communities regard as a trusted delivery partner.
Mobilising the new 111 services
While this is good news, we have not hidden from the fact that the decommissioning of the 0845 service and its replacement by 111 will bring with it change for all of us who work for NHS Direct. We now face the task of rapidly mobilising the necessary people, facilities and systems needed to enable the new 111 services to 'go live' for the public over the next five months. This work is being led by Tricia Hamilton, our chief nurse and clinical director.
I know that what most people really want to know is, which sites will host the new services, and what the future holds for our other sites. I can now confirm that the new 111 services will be provided from:
• Carlisle
• Middlebrook [Bolton]
• Dudley
• Milton Keynes
• Exeter
• London
• Home working (where suitable and appropriate to the needs of the service)
The configuration in London has not yet been finalised, as the decision by East London and City was only announced by the commissioners this week, and we are finalising contracts with Sutton and Merton and South East London commissioners. We shall update you on the London configuration shortly.
These decisions have been based on careful consideration of the contracts that we have won, commissioner requirements and the capacity that we need to deliver these services.
The future of other sites
Chatham, Milton Keynes and Hedge End [Southampton] will remain open until November 2013 to continue to provide the appointments-line service. We do not yet know the process for the re-procurement of the 'choose and book' service, including the appointments line, but we shall keep you updated as news of this is released by the NHS Commissioning Board.
Beyond this, the future of the remaining NHS Direct sites is uncertain, as we await decisions from the NHS Commissioning Board on the future of services that are not directly replaced by the new 111 service (including 'health and symptom' checkers and 'click for nurse' assessment, 'health information and medicines' enquiries, and 'dental nurse' assessment). As I mentioned in my e-mail last week, we currently expect these decisions to be made by the end of November, and we shall keep you up to date with developments. We are also continuing to seek other locally-commissioned services, for example support for patients with long-term conditions and supporting ambulance trusts with further nurse assessment.
Staffing in the future NHS Direct
Trevor Smith, our finance and performance director, and interim managing director of the future NHS Direct, has been leading the team designing the future NHS Direct. The new organisation will look and feel very different to the current NHS Direct.
The type and number of jobs at each of the new 111 sites – both for front line and supporting staff, and the processes for appointing staff into these, has not yet been finalised, but we do know that the overall number of jobs in NHS Direct will be substantially lower than it is currently – most probably, less than half the current number. We shall be entering a period of consultation with staff and staff representatives beginning on December 3, during which all of these details will be presented and discussed.
Transfers of front-line staff
Health advisors, nurse advisors, senior nurse advisors, clinical leads, shift managers and team managers in areas where NHS Direct has not been selected as the preferred provider have known for some time that they should expect to be transferred to the new 111 provider for their area. This is through the so-called 'Cabinet Office guidelines' process, which is being led by Roger Rawlinson, our HR and transition director. Transfers of staff to other NHS providers (mostly, ambulance trusts) have been proceeding smoothly, with the notable exception of the North East. Members of staff in these areas have been engaged with their local transition teams in discussing the details of transfer arrangements.
However, movement of staff to non-NHS providers (such as GP out-of-hours providers) has encountered legal problems relating to the protection of employment rights. We have sought a resolution of these problems with the Department of Health, but have not been able to find one. This is no reflection on the non-NHS providers, and is not of their making; indeed, many of these providers are very keen to have NHS Direct staff transfer to them to help with their own mobilisation of the 111 service. The position, which I can now confirm, is that the movement of staff in the areas won by non-NHS providers will proceed now on a volunteers-only basis. Only members of staff who volunteer to move to non-NHS providers (in the full knowledge of what employment-protection rights they do have) will do so.
If you are in the groups listed above and/or are unsure of your position, please speak to your manager or local transition lead… They will be able to help you with further information on the circumstances in your local area. You can also pass any questions you may have through your engagement champions, who will happily bring up any issues on your behalf.
Delivering our existing services
We are rising to the challenge to continue to provide our existing 0845 and other associated services safely for our patients and to a high standard until the progressive switchover of 0845 to 111 is completed. Most of the switchovers happen in March, with the majority not until March 21. This presents us with a double-running problem, since during January, February and March we shall be running both our new 111 services and 0845. For this reason you will see an increasing number of agency and in-sourced staff joining our service so that we have enough staff to cover this period.
You will also know that we are progressing with training on the 'pathways' system to ensure that we continue to deliver safe and effective 0845 and 111 services during this double-running and switchover period. This training will also equip front-line staff to work in the new 111 services, whether that is with NHS Direct or another 111 provider.
Formal staff consultation
We shall be entering a period of formal consultation with staff and staff representatives from December 3. We have been discussing the consultation arrangements and process with staff representatives for some weeks, and shall continue to work closely throughout.
A consultation document outlining as much information about the structure of future NHS Direct as we can, including job roles and locations will be made available to all staff on December 3. During the consultation, we shall agree the process by which appointments will be made to the new posts. Above all, this process will be fair and transparent, and will give prior consideration for permanent posts to permanent NHS Direct staff. Anyone who becomes redundant following the consultation period will not receive their formal redundancy notice until after March 2 at the earliest. For the avoidance of doubt, any redundancies for NHS Direct staff that do occur will adhere to the 'agenda for change' agreement, including periods of notice and redundancy payments.
Next steps
November 26: staff consultation submitted to NHS Direct board for approval
December 3: staff consultation commences
December 3: first collective consultation meeting held
Early December: open forums commence for all sites
Open forums
As I mentioned last week in my email to everyone, we shall be holding open forums at the beginning of December. We shall be able to give you much more information at that point. At these open forums, members of the board will present the information available, and we shall ensure that there is a good opportunity for discussion and questions.
And finally
I understand that you will most probably still feel uncertain about the future, and have questions to which you would like the answers. I understand how frustrating it is to still be in this position. My board colleagues and I shall to continue to keep you up to date with developments as soon as we are able.
Arrangements to support all staff have been put in place, with dedicated space at our major sites, and online and telephone support. Details can be found on the support zone on the intranet. This provides practical help to find new employment or to consider a career or retirement option, as well as understanding the opportunities to remain with the future NHS Direct. I would strongly urge you to make use of these facilities.
As always, I welcome feedback and questions directly to me. You can also post questions to [e-mail address redacted].
In the meantime, thank you for your continued commitment to the service, and patience and good sense in handling the uncertainty that we are all facing.

Wrist Sprain
A sprain in the wrist is an injury to its ligaments, the tough bands of fibrous tissue that connect bones to one another inside a joint. Although most people speak of the wrist as a single joint between the forearm and hand, the wrist actually contains many joints that link 15 separate bones. The ligaments that connect these bones can be torn by any extreme twist, bend or impact that suddenly forces the wrist into a position beyond its normal range of motion. There are three levels of sprain: Mild (Grade I) — The wrist's ligaments are stretched or have microscopic tears. Moderate (Grade II) — The damage is more severe, and some wrist ligaments may be partially torn. Severe sprains (Grade III) — One or more wrist ligaments are entirely torn or torn away from where they normally attach to bones. Sprains of the wrist are fairly rare in everyday life and in the workplace. Under certain weather conditions, such as during ice storms or after a snowfall, a wrist sprain is commonly caused by a fall in which a person lands on outstretched arm. For athletes, sprains and other injuries to the wrist or hand account for 3% to 9% of all sports injuries. They are especially common among young males who play football, basketball or baseball. In addition, at least 36 Olympic events have been linked to an unusually high rate of wrist sprains, including roller hockey, baseball, boxing, basketball, volleyball, weightlifting, ice hockey, wrestling and judo. Among skiers, wrist sprains commonly occur when the skier falls while still gripping a ski pole or still having the pole strapped to the hand. Falls are also a frequent cause of wrist sprains and fractures among snowboarders and inline skaters. In platform divers, wrist sprains can occur when the wrist absorbs an unusually forceful impact as the athlete hits the water. Wrists sprains also occur in racquet sports, wrestling and pole vaulting because the wrist is subjected to extreme twisting movements during these sports.

We report the observation of a new regime of operation in the stretched-pulse fiber laser in which two groups of bound pulses travel in the cavity at different velocities. The pulse groups collide periodically and remain apparently unaltered after the collisions. The observed group-velocity difference is shown to exhibit a strong dependence on the time interval between the pulses in each bound state.

Summer House: Building a Place of Your Own
Are you a regular visitor to the coast during the Summertime? The lure of lovely sea breezes is hard to resist during the steamy days of July and August. While Airbnb and VRBO can certainly offer a gateway to spending a week at a beach house, it just isn't the same as heading to your very own place. There are tons of advantages to ownership. For one, as an owner, all your toys are already at your place waiting for you. On the financial side, the aforementioned vacation rental websites are dramatically changing the landscape for attracting paying customers who can help you cover the expense of your second home.
If you have considered buying a lot and building, we can help. We've been selling stock house plans since 1998, so we know the ins and outs of building on the coast. Give us a call if you have any questions about the process, we're happy to share what we know. You can also visit our resource page Coastal Building Info and our FAQ page for quick answers to any questions you may have.
And we can certainly provide a running start to finding an affordable house plan. Stock house plans offer a great way to save time and money for your project. Click here to see the newest additions to the Coastal Home Plans website:
