It is not uncommon for a great artist to show questionable taste in source material. Bob Dylan recorded a Christmas album in which he gurgled "Here Comes Santa Claus." T.S. Eliot developed a poetic fixation on house cats that ultimately resulted in the musical Cats. Jimmy Stewart's last cinematic role was in Fievel Goes West, as the voice of Sheriff Wylie Burp. But there is no more perplexing case of talent deployed to dubious ends than that of Gus Van Sant.
I don't need to reel off Van Sant's achievements, though it might be worth mentioning how many of them emerged from unlikely provenances: a memoir from a gay street poet in love with a Mexican boy; improvised desert conversations between Matt Damon and Casey Affleck; a YA novel about skateboarding. But such risk-taking is a double-edged sword. Van Sant's flops almost never lack ambition, but they suggest some bizarre foible in discernment. He remade Psycho shot-for-shot. He adapted Tom Robbins. He filmed the Robin Williams âItâs not your faultâ scene in Good Will Hunting.
This history shoulders its way into the mind while watching Restless. Van Sant's new movie is not nearly the debacle promised by the cruel buzz out of Cannes; instead, it is a graceful, scrupulously crafted film. But it is also a film that did not need to be made. It is about a boy who likes to attend funerals falling in love with a girl with a brain tumor, and how they are aided in their acceptance of her fate by the ghost of a kamikaze pilot. This synopsis should have been enough to end the pitch meeting. The script, by Jason Lew, does not deviate from this premise, or advance it, really: It is a thicket of adolescent bathos about dying young, seasoned with its own distinctive, ghoulish morbidity. It resurrects all the tropes of the Beatific Doomed Girl from Ali McGraw in Love Story through Mandy Moore in A Walk to Remember. But none of these terminally ill women had to recite a romantic speech about carrion beetles. In Restless, Mia Wasikowska goes on about how the beetles meet in a corpse, and how they don't just eat the corpse, but build a little home together inside the decaying flesh, and how that story has a lesson to teach us about finding love within death. This speech is a bad idea. The entire script is a bad idea.
Yet the movie is not exactly a bad movie—and I'm not just saying that in some fit of memorial-service etiquette. Van Sant and cinematographer Harris Savides shot in Portland during the brief autumn window—we're entering it now—when the remaining direct sunlight nearly stings. This is not incidental to Restless' effect: To the degree that it works, it is because first love almost always has a fleeting life, and feels more precious for its brevity. The restrained performances also help: Wasikowska and Henry Hopper (a chip off dad Dennis' block) are both touching because they are so matter-of-fact, while Ryo Kase turns the ghost-pilot conceit into a tangible character.
Still, there is not much about Restless that's surprising—other than it being the first teenage romance to feature a Nagasaki atom-bomb montage. It features several Sufjan Stevens songs (though, oddly, not "Casimir Pulaski Day," the one about a girlfriend who died), it includes the obligatory fights and reconciliations, and it avoids being an embarrassment while never managing to become anything else. Any indignation about Restless feels drummed-up, but the movie does suggest a flip side to Van Sant's skill: It is done well, but one is disappointed to see it done at all.

Sweet and sad, but also deeply funny and a little bit uncomfortable episode last night. More after the jump.
I understand that Amy Ryan has a career beyond "The Office" (she's in "Changeling," for one thing). But it still stings that not only did Holly have to break up with Michael, she had to move so doggone far away that there was no chance of them even running into each other again. Indeed, the whole thing about there not being a bed and breakfast halfway seemed to be a message to the audience that we weren't even going to get Jim-and-Pam-type reunions. As I said, I get all that. But a happy Michael, and the way Holly complemented him (having the same goofy side, demonstrated in her "first" monologue last night, but a little more sensible) made them, well, adorable. And I would have been delighted with, say, a scene where the happy Holly and Michael run into Jan. (One of the most effective things about last night's show was Michael's hysterical, funny-sad declaration about both getting back with and hating Jan.)
Of course, while all that was going on, we also had the great Dwight-Andy Cornell war, which played out perfectly -- although the best line may have been Meredith's about Cornell guys being so nice "they gave me a ride home." Of course, Andy would be infuriated, and of course Dwight would have known the name of the eighth president of Cornell. Even better was the way the show had all this play out between Andy and Dwight, while Angela just silently let the boys fight it out. Even the beet conflict was funny.
Now, that would have been enough for a good show, but "The Office" also threw in the Jim-Pam lunch, which was far more "The Office" as cringe-inducing, with the prank just not being funny. But it was interesting to see where Jim fit with his brothers, who are clearly more successful and buttoned-up. And I don't see the missing-ring gag as being any more amusing.
Well done.
On a not really related note, as I mentioned, Amy Ryan is in "Changeling." As reviewers have noted, its missing-child story has echoes in "Mystic River," which Clint Eastwood also directed, and which was based on a book by Dennis Lehane. And Lehane also wrote "Gone Baby Gone," directed by Ben Affleck, AND which featured Amy Ryan. (She got an Oscar nomination for that one.) I have no idea what that means. Just thought I would share.

Flowers were lovely!
My recipient was thrilled.
My friend was extremely pleased with her gift.
Many thanks.
floral arrangement was beautiful, however, a choice should have been offered for sparkling as Moscato was entirely unsuitable.
All very easy thank you
Beautiful bunch, great value and quick delivery, thank you!
Mum loved the flowers, very colourful and a nice selection. The sparkling wine was a nice treat they enjoyed :)
Excellent products
For the price I paid that quality was extremly poor
hi the delivery man stalked my daughter, he came back twice with flowers hor her, my son in law had to have a stern talk with him!
Although I had not seen the flowers in person, my Daughter-in-Law assured me they were beautiful, and the wine delicious, hence the rating.
Beautiful bunch with wine, but I feel a little too pricey after delivery charged factored in. However for special occasions it's to be expected. Will definitely use this service again in the future
Was a little disappointed that the flowers didn't match the picture but the recipient loved them especially since they happened to be her wedding flowers so ended up being a bonus I guess!
flowers looked lovely
Wine was excellent
service was great
as above flowers were drooping after two days
The bunch that I saw on the website and ordered looked nothing like the flowers that were delivered. Disappointing!
She was very happy with the products
Very good
Sparkling wine substituted for a white wine without informing me.

SWIMMER OF THE WEEK: Jarred Glaser, Racine Case. The senior led Case to a first-place finish in the nine-team Kenosha Bradford Invitational on Saturday by winning two events. He placed first in the 200-yard freestyle in 1 minute 48.04 seconds and finished first in the 100 free in 49.92. Glaser was also on the winning 200 medley and 400 free relay teams. Last year, Glaser won the 200 free in 1:50.16.
TEAM OF THE WEEK: Waukesha North/Kettle Moraine. The team finished first in the 15-team Fondy Memorial Invitational Saturday, 44 points ahead of runner-up Sun Prairie. The co-op team capped the meet with a first-place finish in the 400 free. Sophomore Nolan Fahey also finished first in the 200 free in 1:48.07.
BACK TO FIRST: After taking second in the Bradford Invite the last two years, Case finish first for the first time since 2010.
STAY IN FIRST: Brookfield won the Shorewood Invite Saturday for the fourth consecutive season.
The team was led by junior Brian Borden, who finished second in the 200 individual medley in 2:01.43 and the 100 backstroke in 55.15. He was also on the winning 200 free relay team and third on the 400 free relay.
"He is a tough kid" Brookfield coach Bill Twitchell said. "He either swims backstroke or breaststroke, 200 free relay and 400 free relay. So he sits for a four-hour meet and does all of his events within the last 45 minutes. That's hard to do."
SPEAKING OF SHOREWOOD: The freshman of the meet was Shorewood's Michael Perry, who won the 100 butterfly in 55.33.
Perry says it was the third time he swam the race and first time he won.
"This is my favorite event, by far," said Perry, who also took third in the 200 free. "I've been working on fly for a pretty long time. It's been my No. 1 stroke for a while now. I really like kicking off the walls and practicing the fly a lot more than I do other strokes.
"It feels good to finally win it because in my last meet I got touched out by a really small margin of time. It felt good to finally come out on top."
Menomonee Falls Invitational, 10 a.m. Saturday: Falls/Hamilton/Germantown was the only area team to finish in the top three last year when it won the nine-team meet.

Tibet is richer and more developed than it has ever been, its people healthier, more literate, and better dressed and fed. But the bulging supermarkets, snappy new airports and gleaming restored temples of this remote and mountainous region cannot hide broad contradictions and a deep sense of unhappiness among many Tibetans that China is sweeping away their culture.
Q+A – Does Dalai Lama meeting help or hurt Obama?
U.S. President Barack Obama will meet the Dalai Lama on Thursday after avoiding a get-together before his China trip last year. The White House visit by the Tibetan Buddhist leader comes at a time of increased tension between the United States and China, which has warned that the session will hurt Sino-U.S. ties.
Pew measures global religious restrictions
The Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life has come out with a new report that tries to measure, country by country on a global level, government and social restrictions on religion. You can see our coverage of the report here and here and can download the whole report here.
U.S. sees "mixed picture" on world religious freedom
(Photo: CHristians pray during an anti-North Korea and pro-U.S. protest in Seoul, 3 Oct 2007/Han Jae-Ho)
The United States sees a mixed picture on world religious freedom, with progress in interfaith dialogue weighed against government repression and sectarian strife in many countries. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Monday unveiled the latest State Department report on global religious freedom, which particularly criticized Iran and North Korea among other countries for harsh limits on religious expression.
from Changing China:
Dalai Lama's laugh lines
Before the Dalai Lama spoke on the sober subjects of religion and the environment in Taiwan during a speech this week, he opened with a quip about his English.
Tibetans welcome mountain spirits
Every summer the green hills of Rebkong are home to unique celebrations during which local Tibetans believe the mountain gods visit villagers — and each other — through human mediums.
Catholic regular at Shinto shrines to visit pope at the Vatican
Pope Benedict has been criticised for his handling of relationships with the world's other religions. On Monday Tuesday, he is due to receive at the Vatican Japan's Prime Minister Taro Aso, who has little difficulty with mixing and matching various faiths.
from Africa News blog:
Did Dalai Lama ban make sense?
Organisers have postponed a conference of Nobel peace laureates in South Africa after the government denied a visa to Tibet's spiritual leader the Dalai Lama, who won the prize in 1989 - five years after South Africa's Archbishop Desmond Tutu won his and four years before Nelson Mandela and F.W. de Klerk won theirs for their roles in ending the racist apartheid regime.
A selection of religion reports: week of March 8
Reuters publishes many more reports on religion, faith and ethics than we can mention on the FaithWorld blog. We sometimes highlight a story here, but often leave an issue unmentioned because it was already covered on the wire, or we have neither the time nor any extra information for a blog post. Here's a sample of some of the stories we've published over the past week:
Tibet exiles embrace new "living Buddha"
He is a "living Buddha" with an iPod, the 23-year-old possible successor to the Dalai Lama who may bridge the gap between Tibet's elder leaders and both an alienated Tibetan youth and a suspicious China.

Central to Tivoli's product announcements will be Tivoli Identity Manager, gained through IBM's recent acquisition of Access 360, designed to automate the deployment of user access rights to applications based on business policies.
A second product, Tivoli Privacy Manager, automates the enforcement of privacy policies across an enterprise to extend identity management capabilities to applications that gather personally identifiable data.
With autonomic computing essential to Tivoli's integrated security approach, adoption of the concept depends on whether users who are sceptical of replacing the human aspect of IT security efforts can be convinced to trust the company's approach.
Tivoli will also use the show to unveil the first security services and solutions released as part of its joint development deal with VeriSign, which was announced earlier this year.
The security services are intended to help users build trust and security capabilities directly into their e-business applications and infrastructure products. This approach is intended to help users extend applications to a wider range of business partners, suppliers, and employees. "We are working at a higher level of managing specific operational functions whether it be applications, middleware, or databases," said Steve Wojtowecz, director of strategy at Tivoli Software in Texas, USA.
IBM and Tivoli are shoring up their collective competitive-advantage muscle against the likes of Computer Associates International, Hewlett-Packard and BMC Software, said Audrey Rasmussen, vice-president of Enterprise Management Associates.
IBM is organising its software, hardware, and middleware lines to leverage Tivoli's strengths as a conduit to manage not only the enterprise, but also IBM systems, said Paul Mason, vice-president of the infrastructure software group at Framingham, Mass.-based IDC.
"Most of the value right now [among IBM software divisions] is that they are sharing the code bases. But down the line that will lead to much easier implementation of the whole integration process," Mason said.

Lewis Burwell Puller, at 5 feet 8 inches and 144 pounds, was a little below average size of his time, but he stood out among his contemporaries because of his barrel chest.
Even so, I still have difficulty referring to him by his nickname, "Chesty," because when I first met him in 1937, he was called "Lewie," although not by us second lieutenants, who were careful to address him quite formally as "Captain Puller!"
Tornado sirens blasted away at 10:07 a.m. Tuesday, and students at Southside Elementary and all over Kentucky took place in a statewide tornado drill.
The drill is held each spring, marking March as Severe Storms Awareness Month.
Southside Principal Susanne Burkhardt complimented the young students on their orderly behavior.
"They did very well; they were very well behaved and I am very proud of them," she said.
Everybody knows that dogs are man's best friends, and if you've ever met a Labrador, you know that they want to please their owners probably more than any other dog.
But what happens when you flip that around? Is man really a dog's best friend, too?
Well, in the case of Cathy Pike and Bob Corey, there's no denying that twist on the old adage.

The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. � 119(e) from U.S. Ser. No. 60/329,956, filed on Oct. 17, 2001. U.S. Ser. No. 60/329,956 was filed by at an inventor common to the present application, and is hereby incorporated by reference.
This invention relates to an apparatus and method for providing electronic voice information associated with an instrument, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for providing electronic voice information associated with the performance and status of a dental curing instrument.
Light curing is a known technique in dentistry for curing, for example, composites and adhesives for the filling of root canals or fissures. Light cure restoratives are utilized throughout the dental care industry from dental maintenance to root canal restorations. Activation and polymerization of light cure restoratives must be carefully controlled. However, a means to inform a dental practitioner of an instrumentation measurement using a clear, audible language or tones appears to be lacking in the prior art.
Audible signals are known to be used in association with data items as displayed visually in a dental instrument, as in U.S. Pat. No. 4,968,252 to Creps. Yet, this present approach can lead a dental practitioner to confusion when surrounded by a multitude of such signals each prompting the practitioner for visual monitoring of the display in response to the audio signals. To view the display, the practitioner is thereby required to remove his or her vision from a field of action, resulting in a loss of time and focus on the dental task at hand.
Timing is a critical aspect of light curing in dental restorations. For dental fillings, a light cure restorative is typically placed in the apex of a tooth and activated with light. For root canal procedures, after a root canal is sealed, the remainder of the root canal is filled with light cure restorative and activated by light. An undesirable property of light-cured composite resin restorative materials is contraction during the curing process. For proper curing, curing light intensity must be carefully maintained, necessitating accurate tracking and monitoring. Dentists have learned through experience how to minimize the effects of contraction, and how to avoid open margins. Applying and curing small increments of the restorative material and accurate timing have been keys to minimizing these problems. However, managing accurate timing while practicing a dental procedure continues to present a substantial burden for dental practitioners.
These and other problems have been in a novel method and apparatus for operating a dental curing instrument. In a first embodiment of the present invention, the apparatus comprises a light sensor for sensing light output power density from a lamp of a curing light, a microcontroller, a programmed voice circuit and a speaker/transducer. The microcontroller comprises a plurality of analog to digital converters each for receiving an analog signal from one of the light sensor and the lamp for conversion to a digital number, a stored program and a memory for analyzing each digital number to produce an associated digital address, and an output for outputting the digital address. The programmed voice circuit, comprising a memory for storing voice messages and a processor for receiving a digital address output by the microcontroller, retrieves a voice message from a memory location identified by the digital number and outputs the voice message for reproduction by the speaker/transducer.
In accordance with a first method prescribed by the present invention, the apparatus of the first embodiment is operative to measure an output power density for the curing lamp and to play an audible voice message when the measured output power density exceeds a predetermined threshold. When the measured output density falls below the predetermined threshold, the apparatus of the first embodiment is operative to determine an input power being supplied to the curing lamp, and when the input power falls below a second predetermined threshold, to play an audible voice message indicating that the curing lamp should be replaced. The apparatus of the first embodiment is also operative to count a time of operation while the lamp is active, to store information indicative of a cumulative time of operation for the lamp, and to play an audible voice message announcing that an output power density for the lamp should be evaluated when the cumulative operating time reaches a third predetermined threshold.
Further particular features of the invention will appear in the description, which will follow, of an embodiment taken by way of example and represented in the accompanying drawing, in which
A dental curing instrument is disclosed which has the functionality to verbalize the elapsed time of instrument usage as a curing lamp via electronically generated human speech in a chosen language output. For example, during the operation of the disclosed curing lamp, a user may need to know an amount of time that has elapsed. A known method of indicating time elapsed is an electronically generated beep (for example, every 10 seconds). However, such audible beeps can cause some confusion as to the nature of information being related and may distract a user of a curing apparatus from concentrating on the process of curing and caring for the needs of the patient. To solve this problem, elapsed time status is tracked by the disclosed invention and reported in an audible form immediately, allowing the user to focus his or her attention on the dental procedure.
The disclosed invention defines an electronic voice apparatus 1 comprising a programmed voice integrated circuit (IC) working together with a microcontroller that offers the user a measurement of the elapsed operating time beginning from the lamp's initial activation. Instead of using audible beeps, apparatus 1 offers the feature of electronically verbalizing the elapsed time in groups of seconds—"Ten seconds, Twenty seconds, . . . etc.", for example.
Advantageously, apparatus 1 can generate an electronic verbalization of required data in various languages selectable by the user. For example, at NYU Dental Center, dental students are present from all parts of the globe: Russia, India, Asia, the U.S., Pakistan, Israel, and so on. Thus, apparatus 1 offers the functionality to generate and electronically vocalize elapsed time and other information in various languages, from a novel customizable program choice of language selections, which can be utilized to treat dental care needs transcending language barriers by simply selecting a preferred language output. Thus, for example, the instrumentation can be shared by a multitude of students, with each able to easily select a language program choice.
Power supply 20, for example, may be switched on to provide output voltage 30 via a signal supplied by a control output 100 from outputs 90 at Input/Output Port 95 of microcontroller 70. Microcontroller 70 may be switched on, for example, by closing a trigger switch 215 to connect an input 210 to a system ground 220. Microcontroller 70 senses, for example, a voltage 65 produced by the light sensor 240 at an analog to digital converter (A/D 1) 64 in A/D section 60.
Operating method 400 begins at starting step 4000 as shown in
If light output is not greater than 200 mW/cm2 at step 4200, then a curing mode 4300 is executed by the microcontroller 70. A current 55 is detected at step 4310 via current sensing inputs 45, 46 at Analog/Digital Converter 2 (A/D 2) 62 of apparatus 1 as shown in
Returning to step 4200 of
At step 4430, if the decimal for thousands 4422 is greater than 0, an address is then set relative to thousands at step 4440. Electronic Embedded Speech routine 4410 is run, running electronic verbalization of the thousands measurement for the unit instrument at steps 4440, 4450 by microcontroller 70 communicating an appropriate address signal to the programmed voice IC 140 so that an associated voice message may be audibly reproduced by a speaker/transducer 150.
When the verbalizing of thousands measurement speech loop is complete at step 4460, the address statement is then set, relative to hundreds at steps 4470, 4480 as shown in
When it is determined that the electronic verbalizing of hundreds speech loop is completed at step 4490, microcontroller 70 sets the address for the statement relative to the tens at steps 4500, 4510 and runs speech routine 4410. When the message is completely communicated at step 4420, then microcontoller 70 sets the address for the statement at step 4435, relative to the units of the data measurement provided by apparatus 1. A speech routine 4410 electronically verbalizes the units measurement at step 4425 from microcontroller 70 by signaling programmed voice IC 140, which outputs a voice signal to the speaker/transducer 150. When the output to speaker/transducer 150 is completed, operating method 400 returns to step 4100 of
An active lamp timer (not shown) is implemented by microcontroller 70, which supervises the real working time of the unit. The length of time the lamp is active is stored in a memory within the microcontroller 70. The counted time maybe conveniently stored into a memory of microcontroller 70, and is not erased, for example, when unit's electrical power is turned off. This feature helps to log real lamp usage, and can be configured to provide a schedule maintenance alert message for a user.
Over a lamp's lifetime, its light intensity decreases slowly, little by little. Most curing lamp instruments contain a powerful lamp, a spectrum filter, and a fiber optic tip, all of which are critically aligned. Any misalignment results in poor instrument operation. For this reason, it is very important to check the light intensity periodically to prevent insufficient curing. The disclosed invention provides this feature, such that the total amount of time that the lamp is used is stored in the memory of microcontroller 70. Apparatus 1 may accordingly notify the user by electronic "human" speech when it is time to check the lamp's intensity. This significantly lessens the burdening step of having to check instrument status.
Filament evaporation for lamp 40 of
Returning to
A lamp utilized in the present embodiment of apparatus 1 is a halogen-based lamp. Other lamp types which can be configured alone or in combination to produce like power densities are fully contemplated within scope of the present invention.
Returning to step 4340 of
A display unit (not shown) may be optionally included in the dental curing instrument itself or on an adjacent control panel as an additional means for indicating data. The display unit may comprise segmental, LCD, LED or any other display means, and may be driven, for example, by the digital numbers provided by A/D section 60.
The foregoing describes the invention in terms of embodiments foreseen by the inventor for which an enabling description was available, notwithstanding that insubstantial modifications of the invention, not presently foreseen, may nonetheless equivalents thereto.

After the Los Angeles Lakers were embarrassingly swept out of the playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks, many fans pointed to Pau Gasol's performance as one of the main reasons.
In 10 playoff games, Gasol averaged 13 points and seven rebounds, failing to reach his regular season scoring average of 18 points one time.
Since then, some fans have not been opposed to the idea of trading Gasol.
While there is no doubt he wasn't himself in the postseason, it may be a little hasty wanting Gasol beheaded at the guillotine.
After all, he has contributed a lot to the franchise in a short amount of time and will likely continue doing so in the future.
Here are seven reasons why the Lakers shouldn't trade Pau Gasol.

It was entertaining...
for awhile. It started to feel repeating, quickly. It was fun for the first five minutes but then i started to lose intrest. But this is a game that i would come back to to play again. :)

i have always liked the crush the castle series
But this ones physics engine seems really really off. The instantaneous moments caused my non rigidly attached beams is really off in some of the levels. There are more things but its likely too technical for a lot of people to understand.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
I must admit
I'm with casul on this. Still love the game, but it is repeating itself to the point the creator doesn't know what to do anymore. Maybe create an updated version where instead of siege weapons, do a big cannon. Sorta like new age warfare. Or maybe set it to WWII. Just something different.
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
im unable to have fun while playing this game
its very well made it has like a million stages the artwork is fine lots of different ambients but i have no good controll of the catapult and to get the golden medal i just keep retrying until i have a lucky shot.
also i see no dificulty progression or logic on the building of the levels nor i see why should i use a chunk of wood instead a ball of steel seeing that ou give me the choice of both
its a very well made game but its not fun =(

The famous "rally the troops" speech from Shakespeare's play Henry V.
Used this on a track I'm doing. Thanks for sharing it.
Downloaded for musical uses, i'll not forget you ! thanks for the speech

I'm using this track for a pre-recorded track my band is using live. Just letting you know- absolutely in love with this.
I used this in an introductory track titled "Turn This Up." It serves as a nice dramatic introduction. I reduce the gain slowly in the track and eventually drown it behind a synth chord, cuing listeners (with any luck) to turn their volume dial up.

So far in this series, I've used the
Person type
to reveal almost all of the fundamentals of working with db4o. You've learned
how to create entire graphs of
Person objects,
retrieve them in some fairly fine-grained manner (using db4o's native query
functionality to constrain the actual object graph returned), update and
delete entire graphs of objects (subject to some limitations), and so on. In
fact, just one aspect of object-orientation has remained entirely outside of
this discussion, and that is inheritance.
While the end goal of my evolving example is a data management system for
storing employee data, I've really focused on developing my
Person type. I may want a system capable of storing
information about people who work for a company, as well as their spouses and
children, but at this point they're all just
Persons to the system. (Or, if you'll pardon the poor English,
Employee.) Furthermore, I may want behavior for
that shouldn't be a part of the
Person API. It's
fair to say that from an object modeler's point of view, the ability to
model types in is-a terms is the heart of what object-orientation is about.
While I could model the notion of employment using a field in the
Person type, that's a relational approach and
doesn't fit well within the object-design scenario. Fortunately, the db4o
system, like most OODBMS systems, has an integral understanding of
inheritance. Having inheritance at the core of a storage system makes it
surprisingly easy to "refactor" the existing system into one that takes
greater advantage of inheritance as a design concept, without complicating the
query facilities. As you'll see, it also makes things much easier when
querying for particular kinds of objects.
A highly evolved Person
Just in case you're joining the series now, Listing 1 is a recap of the
Person type, which is the long-running
example-in-progress for the series:
Listing 1. When we last left our hero ...
package com.tedneward.model; import java.util.List; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Iterator; public class Person { public Person() { } public Person(String firstName, String lastName, Gender gender, int age, Mood mood) { this.firstName = firstName; this.lastName = lastName; this.gender = gender; this.age = age; this.mood = mood; } public String getFirstName() { return firstName; } public void setFirstName(String value) { firstName = value; } public String getLastName() { return lastName; } public void setLastName(String value) { lastName = value; } public Gender getGender() { return gender; } public int getAge() { return age; } public void setAge(int value) { age = value; } public Mood getMood() { return mood; } public void setMood(Mood value) { mood = value; } public Person getSpouse() { return spouse; } public void setSpouse(Person value) { // A few business rules if (spouse != null) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Already married!"); if (value.getSpouse() != null && value.getSpouse() != this) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Already married!"); spouse = value; // Highly sexist business rule if (gender == Gender.FEMALE) this.setLastName(value.getLastName()); // Make marriage reflexive, if it's not already set that way if (value.getSpouse() != this) value.setSpouse(this); } public Address getHomeAddress() { return addresses[0]; } public void setHomeAddress(Address value) { addresses[0] = value; } public Address getWorkAddress() { return addresses[1]; } public void setWorkAddress(Address value) { addresses[1] = value; } public Address getVacationAddress() { return addresses[2]; } public void setVacationAddress(Address value) { addresses[2] = value; } public Iterator<Person> getChildren() { return children.iterator(); } public Person haveBaby(String name, Gender gender) { // Business rule if (this.gender.equals(Gender.MALE)) throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Biological impossibility!"); // Another highly objectionable business rule if (getSpouse() == null) throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Ethical impossibility!"); // Welcome to the world, little one! Person child = new Person(name, this.lastName, gender, 0, Mood.CRANKY); // Well, wouldn't YOU be cranky if you'd just been pushed out of // a nice warm place?!? // These are your parents... child.father = this.getSpouse(); child.mother = this; // ... and you're their new baby. // (Everybody say "Awwww....") children.add(child); this.getSpouse().children.add(child); return child; } public Person getFather() { return this.father; } public Person getMother() { return this.mother; } public String toString() { return "[Person: " + "firstName = " + firstName + " " + "lastName = " + lastName + " " + "gender = " + gender + " " + "age = " + age + " " + "mood = " + mood + " " + (spouse != null ? "spouse = " + spouse.getFirstName() + " " : "") + "]"; } public boolean equals(Object rhs) { if (rhs == this) return true; if (!(rhs instanceof Person)) return false; Person other = (Person)rhs; return (this.firstName.equals(other.firstName) && this.lastName.equals(other.lastName) && this.gender.equals(other.gender) && this.age == other.age); } private String firstName; private String lastName; private Gender gender; private int age; private Mood mood; private Person spouse; private Address[] addresses = new Address[3]; private List<Person> children = new ArrayList<Person>(); private Person mother; private Person father; }
As with the other articles in this series, I'm not going to show the
Person class in full for each change I make, but just
the incremental changes I make as I go along. In this case, I won't actually be
making changes to
Person at all because I'm going
to extend
Person rather than modify it.
Is-you or isn't-you?
The first thing I need to do is make it possible for my employee management
system to recognize the difference between normal
Persons (such as the spouses and/or children of
employees) and
Employees. From a pure modeling
standpoint, this change is trivial. I just introduce a new derived class to
Person, which is of the same package as the other
classes thus far. Not surprisingly, I'll call this class
Employee, shown in Listing 2:
Listing 2. Employee extends Person
package com.tedneward.model; public class Employee extends Person { public Employee() { } public Employee(String firstName, String lastName, String title, Gender gender, int age, Mood mood) { super(firstName, lastName, gender, age, mood); this.title = title; } public String getTitle() { return title; } public void setTitle(String value) { title = value; } public String toString() { return "[Employee: " + getFirstName() + " " + getLastName() + " " + "(" + getTitle() + ")]"; } private String title; }
Employee class doesn't actually have much
more to it than what you see in Listing 2. From the perspective of the OODBMS,
the additional methods on
Employee are irrelevant.
All you need to keep in mind for the discussion is that
Employee is a subclass of
Person. (If you are more interested in the modeling
aspect of the system, imagine methods on
getSalary() and
setSalary(), and
Testing the new model
Exploration testing the new model is fairly
straightforward. I create a JUnit class called
InheritanceTest and set up what is, by now, a rather
complicated set of objects to serve as the initial working contents of the
OODBMS. Just to make the output (which you'll see in Listing 6) more clear, I've
shown the details of the
prepareDatabase() call in Listing 3:
Listing 3. Welcome to the company (you belong to me now)
@Before public void prepareDatabase() { db = Db4o.openFile("persons.data"); // The Newards Employee ted = new Employee("Ted", "Neward", "President and CEO", Gender.MALE, 36, Mood.HAPPY); Person charlotte = new Person("Charlotte", "Neward", Gender.FEMALE, 35, Mood.HAPPY); ted.setSpouse(charlotte); Person michael = charlotte.haveBaby("Michael", Gender.MALE); michael.setAge(14); Person matthew = charlotte.haveBaby("Matthew", Gender.MALE); matthew.setAge(8); Address tedsHomeOffice = new Address("12 Redmond Rd", "Redmond", "WA", "98053"); ted.setHomeAddress(tedsHomeOffice); ted.setWorkAddress(tedsHomeOffice); ted.setVacationAddress( new Address("10 Wannahokalugi Way", "Oahu", "HA", "11223")); db.set(ted); // The Tates Employee bruce = new Employee("Bruce", "Tate", "Chief Technical Officer", Gender.MALE, 29, Mood.HAPPY); Person maggie = new Person("Maggie", "Tate", Gender.FEMALE, 29, Mood.HAPPY); bruce.setSpouse(maggie); Person kayla = maggie.haveBaby("Kayla", Gender.FEMALE); Person julia = maggie.haveBaby("Julia", Gender.FEMALE); bruce.setHomeAddress( new Address("5 Maple Drive", "Austin", "TX", "12345")); bruce.setWorkAddress( new Address("5701 Downtown St", "Austin", "TX", "12345")); // Ted and Bruce both use the same timeshare, apparently bruce.setVacationAddress( new Address("10 Wanahokalugi Way", "Oahu", "HA", "11223")); db.set(bruce); // The Fords Employee neal = new Employee("Neal", "Ford", "Meme Wrangler", Gender.MALE, 29, Mood.HAPPY); Person candi = new Person("Candi", "Ford", Gender.FEMALE, 29, Mood.HAPPY); neal.setSpouse(candi); neal.setHomeAddress( new Address("22 Gritsngravy Way", "Atlanta", "GA", "32145")); // Neal is the roving architect neal.setWorkAddress(null); db.set(neal); // The Slettens Employee brians = new Employee("Brian", "Sletten", "Bosatsu Master", Gender.MALE, 29, Mood.HAPPY); Person kristen = new Person("Kristen", "Sletten", Gender.FEMALE, 29, Mood.HAPPY); brians.setSpouse(kristen); brians.setHomeAddress( new Address("57 Classified Drive", "Fairfax", "VA", "55555")); brians.setWorkAddress( new Address("1 CIAWasNeverHere Street", "Fairfax", "VA", "55555")); db.set(brians); // The Galbraiths Employee ben = new Employee("Ben", "Galbraith", "Chief UI Director", Gender.MALE, 29, Mood.HAPPY); Person jessica = new Person("Jessica", "Galbraith", Gender.FEMALE, 29, Mood.HAPPY); ben.setSpouse(jessica); ben.setHomeAddress( new Address( "5500 North 2700 East Rd", "Salt Lake City", "UT", "12121")); ben.setWorkAddress( new Address( "5600 North 2700 East Rd", "Salt Lake City", "UT", "12121")); ben.setVacationAddress( new Address( "2700 East 5500 North Rd", "Salt Lake City", "UT", "12121")); // Ben really needs to get out more db.set(ben); db.commit(); }
As with previous exploration testing examples in this series, I use the
method to delete the database after each test, just to keep things nicely partitioned.
Let's just run a few queries ...
Before actually running that method, I'll check to see what effect, if any,
Employees in the system will have. It's
natural to want to fetch all the
Employees from the
database — perhaps to fire them all as part of the company going bankrupt.
(Yes, I know, it's cruel to think about it, but I'm still a little scarred
from the dot-bomb collapse of 2001.) The initial test looks pretty
straightforward, as you can see in Listing 4:
Listing 4. The Ted says, 'You're fired!'
@Test public void testSimpleInheritanceQueries() { ObjectSet employees = db.get(Employee.class); while (employees.hasNext()) System.out.println("Found " + employees.next()); }
When run, the test produces an interesting result: only the
Employees in the database (myself, Ben, Neal, Brian, and
Bruce) are returned. Implicitly, the OODBMS has recognized that the query is
constrained explicitly by the subtype
Employee, and has only selected
those objects that fit that criteria for return. Because none of the other
objects (the spouses or the children) are of type
Employee, they aren't eligible and therefore aren't sent
Things get more interesting when I run a simple query to return all
Persons, like so:
Listing 5. Find all humans!
@Test public void testSimpleNonEmployeeQuery() { ObjectSet persons = db.get(Person.class); while (persons.hasNext()) System.out.println("Found " + persons.next()); }
When I run this query, every single object — including all the
Employees returned earlier — is sent back. At one level,
this makes sense. Because
Person, by virtue of the
implementation-inheritance relationship established in the Java code, the
criteria necessary for return from this query is met.
Inheritance (and, by extension, polymorphism) in db4o really is that
simple. No complicated
IS extensions to a query
language, no introduced notion of "type" beyond what already exists in the
Java type system. I simply indicate the type desired as part of the query, and
those are the types that will form the basis of the query. It's almost like
joining tables in an SQL query, by selecting tables whose data should be part
of the results of the query. The added bonus, in this case, is that "parent
types" are also implicitly "joined" as part of the query. Listing 6 shows the
output from my
InheritanceTest back in Listing 3:
Listing 6. Polymorphism at work
.Found [Employee: Ted Neward (President and CEO)] Found [Person: firstName = Charlotte lastName = Neward gender = FEMALE age = 35 mood = HAPPY spouse = Ted ] Found [Person: firstName = Michael lastName = Neward gender = MALE age = 14 mood = CRANKY ] Found [Person: firstName = Matthew lastName = Neward gender = MALE age = 8 mood = CRANKY ] Found [Employee: Bruce Tate (Chief Technical Officer)] Found [Person: firstName = Maggie lastName = Tate gender = FEMALE age = 29 mood = HAPPY spouse = Bruce ] Found [Person: firstName = Kayla lastName = Tate gender = FEMALE age = 0 mood = CRANKY ] Found [Person: firstName = Julia lastName = Tate gender = FEMALE age = 0 mood = CRANKY ] Found [Employee: Neal Ford (Meme Wrangler)] Found [Person: firstName = Candi lastName = Ford gender = FEMALE age = 29 mood = HAPPY spouse = Neal ] Found [Employee: Brian Sletten (Bosatsu Master)] Found [Person: firstName = Kristen lastName = Sletten gender = FEMALE age = 29 m ood = HAPPY spouse = Brian ] Found [Employee: Ben Galbraith (Chief UI Director)] Found [Person: firstName = Jessica lastName = Galbraith gender = FEMALE age = 29 mood = HAPPY spouse = Ben ]
It may surprise you that the objects returned are still
objects of the appropriate subtype, despite how they were queried. For example,
in the above query, when
toString() is called on each
of the
Person objects returned,
Person.toString() is invoked for each
Person, as expected. Because
Employees have an overridden
toString() method, however, the usual rules
regarding dynamic binding kick in. The parts of
that are stored in
Employee aren't "sliced off," as
can happen in a regular SQL query that fails to join every derived subclass
table in a table-per-class model.
Inheriting from the natives
Of course, inheritance criteria extends into native queries just as strongly as it does the simple object queries I've done so far. The query syntax gets just a tad more complicated when the call is made, but fundamentally it follows from the syntax I've already used before, shown in Listing 7:
Listing 7. Are you a company widow?
@Test public void testNativeQuery() { List<Person> spouses = db.query(new Predicate<Person>() { public boolean match(Person candidate) { return (candidate.getSpouse() instanceof Employee); } }); for (Person spouse : spouses) System.out.println(spouse); }
I begin with a query similar, in spirit, to the one I did earlier, looking
through all the
Persons in the system, but I
constrain it further by looking for only those
Persons who have a spouse that is an
Employee— a call to
getSpouse(), with the return value passed to the Java
instanceof operator, and it's done. (Remember that
match() call only returns true or false,
indicating whether the candidate object should be returned.)
Notice how changing the type of the
passed in the
query() call can change the type
criteria implicitly selected, shown in Listing 8:
Listing 8. Scandalous! Office romance!
@Test public void testEmployeeNativeQuery() { List<Employee> spouses = db.query(new Predicate<Person>() { public boolean match(Person candidate) { return (candidate.getSpouse() instanceof Employee); } }); for (Person spouse : spouses) System.out.println(spouse); }
When executed, this query produces no results because now the query is
looking only for
Employees with a spouse also employed by the company. Currently, no employee in the database satisfies that criteria. Should the company decide to hire Charlotte, then two
Employees would be
returned, however: Ted and Charlotte. (And they say office romance never
For the most part, again, that's it. Inheritance doesn't have any effect on updates, deletes, or activation depth, just the query aspect of objects. But recall that the Java platform offers two forms of inheritance: implementation inheritance, via the ubiquitous extends clause, and interface inheritance, via implements. If db4o supports extends, then it also must support implements, which makes for a pretty powerful query capability, as you'll see.
It's all about the interface
As just about any Java (or C#) programmer learns after
about six weeks of using the language, interfaces are highly useful for modeling. Although not often seen as such, interfaces present a
powerful ability to "segregate" types across traditional implementation
inheritance lines; through the use of an interface, I can declare that certain
types are
Comparable, or
Serializable, or in this case,
Employable. (Yes, this is overkill from a design perspective, but it serves the pedagogical purpose nicely.)
Listing 9. Hey, it's not 2001 anymore! Come work for me!
package com.tedneward.model; public interface Employable { public boolean willYouWorkForUs(); }
To see the interface at work, I need a concrete class inheriting from the
Employable interface, and — you probably guessed
it already — that means creating an
EmployablePerson subtype that extends
Person and implements
Employable. I won't show that code here (there's not much worth showing, aside from
** EMPLOYABLE ** to the end of
toString() in the
EmployablePerson.toString() method). I will also modify the
prepareDatabase() call to return the fact that Charlotte
is an
EmployablePerson, instead of just a
Now, I can write a query that iterates through the database, looking for spouses or relatives of our current employees that might be willing to work for the company, shown in Listing 10
Listing 10. There's this job, see ...
@Test public void testEmployableQuery() { List<Employable> potentialEmployees = db.query(new Predicate<Employable>() { public boolean match(Employable candidate) { return (candidate.willYouWorkForUs()); } }); for (Employable e : potentialEmployees) System.out.println("Eureka! " + e + " has said they'll work for us!"); }
Sure enough, Charlotte is returned as being employable. What's better, this means that any interface I introduce becomes a new way to constrain queries, without artificially introducing fields to carry the information; Charlotte fits the query criteria solely because she implements that interface, whereas none of the other spouses do (at least, for now).
In conclusion
If objects and inheritance go together like chocolate and peanut butter, objects and polymorphism are like hand and glove. The two elements fit just as snugly as a manager and his or her high salary. Any system that stores objects has to be able to understand and project this notion of inheritance into the storage media and filter along it when retrieving data. Fortunately, object-oriented DBMSs render this a trivial undertaking, and they let you do it without having to introduce new query-predicate terms. In the long run, that makes the OODBMS much easier to use when inheritance is part of the picture.

Wellsburg woman celebrates 100
FOLLANSBEE – Norma Pertko, a resident of Genesis Health Care Brightwood Center and formerly of Wellsburg, celebrated her 100th birthday with family, friends and Brightwood staff on June 14.
Pertko said one secret to her longevity is hard work. She recalled that when she was 12, her grandmother said she was the best washer with a wash board because she could get out anything.
She entered the work force at age 14, working as a filing receptionist at a local glass house and married the same year. When she was 16, she gave birth to her son.
