Java Enterprise in a Nutshell
Editor's Note: This is Part Two of a book excerpt from Java Enterprise in a Nutshell. This excerpt focuses on database connection, statements and results.
Connection object, which encapsulates a single connection to a particular database, forms the basis of all JDBC data-handling code. An application can maintain multiple connections, up to the limits imposed by the database system itself. A standard small office or web server Oracle installation can support 50 or so connections, while a major corporate database could host several thousand. The
DriverManager.getConnection( ) method creates a connection:
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("url", "user", "password");
You pass three arguments to
getConnection( ): a JDBC URL, a database username, and a password. For databases that don't require explicit logins, the user and password strings should be left blank. When the method is called, the
DriverManager queries each registered driver, asking if it understands the URL. If a driver recognizes the URL, it returns a
Connection object. Because the
getConnection( ) method checks each driver in turn, you should avoid loading more drivers than are necessary for your application.
getConnection( ) method has two other variants that are less frequently used. One variant takes a single String argument and tries to create a connection to that JDBC URL without a username or password, or with a username and password embedded in the URL itself. The other version takes a JDBC URL and a
java.util.Properties object that contains a set of name/value pairs. You generally need to provide at least
username=value and
password=value pairs.

When a
Connection has outlived its usefulness, you should be sure to explicitly close it by calling its
close( ) method. This frees up any memory being used by the object, and, more importantly, it releases any other database resources the connection may be holding on to. These resources (cursors, handles, and so on) can be much more valuable than a few bytes of memory, as they are often quite limited. This is particularly important in applications such as servlets that might need to create and destroy thousands of JDBC connections between restarts. Because of the way some JDBC drivers are designed, it is not safe to rely on Java's garbage collection to remove unneeded JDBC connections.
The JDBC 2.0 standard extension, discussed later in this chapter, provides a facility for connection pooling, whereby an application can maintain several open database connections and spread the load among them. This is often necessary for enterprise-level applications, such as servlets, that may be called upon to perform tens of thousands of database transactions a day.
Once you have created a
Connection, you can begin using it to execute SQL statements. This is usually done via
Statement objects. There are actually three kinds of statements in JDBC:
We're just going to discuss the
Statement object for now;
PreparedStatement and
CallableStatement are covered in detail later in this chapter.
To get a
Statement object, call the
createStatement( ) method of a
Statement stmt = con.createStatement( );
Once you have created a
Statement, use it to execute SQL statements. A statement can either be a query that returns results or an operation that manipulates the database in some way. If you are performing a query, use the
executeQuery( ) method of the
Statement object:
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM CUSTOMERS");
Here we've used
executeQuery( ) to run a
SELECT statement. This call returns a
ResultSet object that contains the results of the query (we'll take a closer look at
ResultSet in the next section).
Statement also provides an
executeUpdate( ) method, for running SQL statements that don't return results, such as the
UPDATE and
DELETE statements.
executeUpdate( ) returns an integer that indicates the number of rows in the database that were altered.
If you don't know whether a SQL statement is going to return results (such as when the user is entering the statement in a form field), you can use the
execute( ) method of
Statement. This method returns
true if there is a result associated with the statement. In this case, the
ResultSet can be retrieved using the
getResultSet( ) method and the number of updated rows can be retrieved using
getUpdateCount( ):
Statement unknownSQL = con.createStatement( );
if(unknownSQL.execute(sqlString)) {
ResultSet rs = unknownSQL.getResultSet( );
// display the results
else {
System.out.println("Rows updated: " + unknownSQL.getUpdateCount( ));
It is important to remember that a
Statement object represents a single SQL statement. A call to
executeQuery( ),
executeUpdate( ), or
execute( ) implicitly closes any active
ResultSet associated with the
Statement. In other words, you need to be sure you are done with the results from a query before you execute another query with the same
Statement object. If your application needs to execute more than one simultaneous query, you need to use multiple
Statement objects. As a general rule, calling the
close( ) method of any JDBC object also closes any dependent objects, such as a
Statement generated by a
Connection or a
ResultSet generated by a
Statement, but well-written JDBC code closes everything explicitly.
It is possible to write a SQL statement that returns more than one
ResultSet or update count (exact methods of doing so vary depending on the database). The
Statement object supports this functionality via the
getMoreResults( ) method. Calling this method implicitly closes any existing
ResultSet and moves to the next set of results for the statement.
getMoreResults( ) returns
true if there is another
ResultSet available to be retrieved by
getResultSet( ). However, the method returns
false if the next statement is an update, even if there is another set of results waiting farther down the line. To be sure you've processed all the results for a
Statement, you need to check that
getMoreResults( ) returns
false and that
getUpdateCount( ) returns
We can modify the previous
execute( ) example to handle multiple results:
Statement unknownSQL = con.createStatement( );
while (true) {
rs = unknownSQL.getResultSet( );
if(rs != null)
// display the results
// process the update data
// Advance and quit if done
if((unknownSQL.getMoreResults( ) == false) &&
(unknownSQL.getUpdateCount( ) == -1))
Statements that return multiple results are actually quite rare. They generally arise from stored procedures or SQL implementations that allow multiple statements to be executed in a batch. Under SyBase, for instance, multiple
SELECT statements may be separated by newline (
\n) characters.
When an SQL query executes, the results form a pseudo-table that contains all rows that fit the query criteria. For instance, here's a textual representation of the results of the query string "SELECT NAME, CUSTOMER_ID, PHONE FROM CUSTOMERS":
-------------------------------- ----------- -------------------
Jane Markham 1 617 555-1212
Louis Smith 2 617 555-1213
Woodrow Lang 3 508 555-7171
Dr. John Smith 4 (011) 42 323-1239
This kind of textual representation is not very useful for Java programs. Instead, JDBC uses the
java.sql.ResultSet interface to encapsulate the query results as Java primitive types and objects. You can think of a
ResultSet as an object that represents an underlying table of query results, where you use method calls to navigate between rows and retrieve particular column values.
A Java program might handle the previous query as follows:
Statement stmt = con.createStatement( );
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(
while(rs.next( )) {
System.out.print("Customer #" + rs.getString("CUSTOMER_ID"));
System.out.print(", " + rs.getString("NAME"));
System.out.println(", is at " + rs.getString("PHONE");
rs.close( );
stmt.close( );
Here's the resulting output:
Customer #1, Jane Markham, is at 617 555-1212
Customer #2, Louis Smith, is at 617 555-1213
Customer #3, Woodrow Lang, is at 508 555-7171
Customer #4, Dr. John Smith, is at (011) 42 323-1239
The code loops through each row of the
ResultSet using the
next( ) method. When you start working with a
ResultSet, you are positioned before the first row of results. That means you have to call
next( ) once just to access the first row. Each time you call
next( ), you move to the next row. If there are no more rows to read,
next( ) returns
false. Note that with the JDBC 1.0
ResultSet, you can only move forward through the results and, since there is no way to go back to the beginning, you can read them only once. The JDBC 2.0
ResultSet, which we discuss later, overcomes these limitations.
Individual column values are read using the
getString( ) method.
getString( ) is one of a family of
getXXX( ) methods, each of which returns data of a particular type. There are two versions of each
getXXX( ) method: one that takes the case-insensitive
String name of the column to be read (e.g.,
"CUSTOMER_ID") and one that takes a SQL-style column index. Note that column indexes run from 1 to n, unlike Java array indexes, which run from 0 to n-1, where n is the number of columns.
The most important
getXXX( ) method is
getObject( ), which can return any kind of data packaged in an object wrapper. For example, calling
getObject( ) on an integer field returns an
Integer object, while calling it on a date field yields a
java.sql.Date object. Table 2-1 lists the different
getXXX( ) methods, along with the corresponding SQL data type and Java data type. Where the return type for a
getXXX( ) method is different from the Java type, the return type is shown in parentheses. Note that the
java.sql.Types class defines integer constants that represent the standard SQL data types.

Note that this table merely lists the default mappings according to the JDBC specification, and some drivers don't follow these mappings exactly. Also, a certain amount of casting is permitted. For instance, the
getString( ) method returns a
String representation of just about any data type.
The driver can figure this out after reading the object, but since some driver implementations and database connection protocols allow you to reliably read a value from a column only once, implementing an isNull( ) method requires the ResultSet to cache the entire row in memory. While many programs do exactly this, it is not appropriate behavior for the lowest-level result handler.
Sometimes database columns contain
null, or empty, values. However, because of the way certain database APIs are written, it is impossible for JDBC to provide a method to determine before the fact whether or not a column is
null (see sidebar). Methods that don't return an object of some sort are especially vulnerable.
getInt( ), for instance, resorts to returning a value of -
1. JDBC deals with this problem via the
wasNull( ) method, which indicates whether or not the last column read was
int numberInStock = rs.getInt("STOCK");
if(rs.wasNull( ))
System.out.println("Result was null");
System.out.println("In Stock: " + numberInStock);
Alternately, you can call
getObject( ) and test to see if the result is
null (Some drivers, including early versions of Oracle's JDBC drivers, don't properly support this behavior.):
Object numberInStock = rs.getObject("STOCK");
if(numberInStock == null)
System.out.println("Result was null");
You can retrieve large chunks of data from a
ResultSet as a stream. This can be useful when reading images from a database or loading large documents from a data store, for example. The relevant
ResultSet methods are
getAsciiStream( ),
getBinaryStream( ), and
getUnicodeStream( ), where each method has column name and column index variants, just like the other
getXXX( ) methods. Each of these methods returns an
InputStream. Here's a code sample that retrieves an image from a
PICTURES table and writes the image to an
OutputStream of some kind (this might be a
ServletOutputStream for a Java servlet that produces a GIF from a database):
ResultSet rs =
stmt.executeQuery("SELECT IMAGE FROM PICTURES WHERE PID = " +
if (rs.next( )) {
BufferedInputStream gifData =
new BufferedInputStream(rs.getBinaryStream("IMAGE"));
byte[] buf = new byte[4 * 1024]; // 4K buffer
int len;
while ((len = gifData.read(buf, 0, buf.length)) != -1) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
The JDBC 2.0 API includes
Blob and
Clob objects to handle large data types; we discuss these objects later in this chapter.
JDBC defines three classes devoted to storing date and time information:
java.sql.Time, and
java.sql.Timestamp. These correspond to the SQL
TIME, and
TIMESTAMP types. The
java.util.Date class is not suitable for any of them, so JDBC defines a new set of wrapper classes that extend (or limit) the standard
Date class to fit the JDBC mold.
The SQL
DATE type contains only a date, so the
java.sql.Date class contains only a day, month, and year. SQL
java.sql.Time) includes only a time of day, without date information. SQL
java.sql.Timestamp) includes both, but at nanosecond precision (the standard
Date class is incapable of handling more than milliseconds).
Since different DBMS packages have different methods of encoding date and time information, JDBC supports the ISO date escape sequences, and individual drivers must translate these sequences into whatever form the underlying DBMS requires. The syntax for dates, times, and timestamps is:
{d 'yyyy-mm-dd'}
{t 'hh:mm:ss'}
{ts 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.ms.microseconds.ns'}
TIMESTAMP needs only to be specified up to seconds; the remaining values are optional. Here is an example that uses a date escape sequence (where
dateSQL is a
Statement of some sort):
dateSQL.execute("INSERT INTO FRIENDS(BIRTHDAY) VALUES ({d '1978-12-14'})");
With JDBC 1.0, the functionality provided by the
ResultSet interface is rather limited. There is no support for updates of any kind, and access to rows is limited to a single, sequential read (i.e., first row, second row, third row, etc., and no going back). JDBC 2.0 supports scrollable and updateable result sets, which allows for advanced record navigation and in-place data manipulation.
With scrolling, you can move forward and backward through the results of a query, rather than just using the
next( ) method to move to the next row. In terms of scrolling, there are now three distinct types of
ResultSet objects: forward-only (as in JDBC 1.0), scroll-insensitive, and scroll-sensitive. A scroll-insensitive result set generally doesn't reflect changes to the underlying data, while scroll-sensitive ones do. In fact, the number of rows in a sensitive result set doesn't even need to be fixed.
As of JDBC 2.0, result sets are also updateable. From this perspective, there are two different kinds of result sets: read-only result sets that don't allow changes to the underlying data and updateable result sets that allow such changes, subject to transaction limitations and so on.
To create an updateable, scroll-sensitive result set, we pass two extra arguments to the
createStatement( ) method.
Statement stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,
If you don't pass any arguments to
createStatement( ), you get a forward-only, read-only result set, just as you would using JDBC 1.0. Note that if you specify a scrollable result set (either sensitive or insensitive), you must also specify whether or not the result set is updateable. After you have created a scrollable
ResultSet, use the methods listed in Table 2-2 to navigate through it. As with JDBC 1.0, when you start working with a
ResultSet, you are positioned before the first row of results.
|Table 2-2: JDBC 2.0 Record Scrolling Functions
Move to the first record.
Move to the last record.
Move to the next record.
Move to the previous record.
Move to immediately before the first record.
Move to immediately after the last record.
Move to an absolute row number. Takes a positive or negative argument.
Move backward or forward a specified number of rows. Takes a positive or negative argument.
The JDBC 2.0 API also includes a number of methods that tell you where you are in a
ResultSet. You can think of your position in a
ResultSet as the location of a cursor in the results. The
isFirst( ) and
isLast( ) methods return
true if the cursor is located on the first or last record, respectively.
isAfterLast( ) returns
true if the cursor is after the last row in the result set, while
isBeforeFirst( ) returns
true if the cursor is before the first row.
With an updateable
ResultSet, you can change data in an existing row, insert an entirely new row, or delete an existing row. To change data in an existing row, use the new
updateXXX( ) methods of
ResultSet. Let's assume we want to update the
CUSTOMER_ID field of the first row we retrieve (okay, it's a contrived example, but bear with us):
Statement stmt = con.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE,
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT NAME, CUSTOMER_ID FROM CUSTOMERS");
rs.first( );
rs.updateInt(2, 35243);
rs.updateRow( );
Here we use
first( ) to navigate to the first row of the result set and then call
updateInt( ) to change the value of the customer ID column in the result set. After making the change, call
updateRow( ) to actually make the change in the database. If you forget to call
updateRow( ) before moving to another row in the result set, any changes you made are lost. If you need to make a number of changes in a single row, do so with multiple calls to
updateXXX( ) methods and then a single call to
updateRow( ). Just be sure you call
updateRow( ) before moving on to another row.
The technique for inserting a row is similar to updating data in an existing row, with a few important differences. The first step is to move to what is called the insert row, using the
moveToInsertRow( ) method. The insert row is a blank row associated with the
ResultSet that contains all the fields, but no data; you can think of it as a pseudo-row in which you can compose a new row. After you have moved to the insert row, use
updateXXX( ) methods to load new data into the insert row and then call
insertRow( ) to append the new row to the
ResultSet and the underlying database. Here's an example that adds a new customer to the database:
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(
rs.moveToInsertRow( );
rs.updateString(1, "Tom Flynn");
rs.updateInt(2, 35244);
rs.insertRow( );
Note that you don't have to supply a value for every column, as long as the columns you omit can accept
null values. If you don't specify a value for a column that can't be
null, you'll get a
SQLException. After you call
insertRow( ), you can create another new row, or you can move back to the
ResultSet using the various navigation methods shown in Table 2-2. One final navigation method that isn't listed in the table is
moveToCurrentRow( ). This method takes you back to where you were before you called
moveToInsertRow( ); it can only be called while you are in the insert row.
Deleting a row from an updateable result set is easy. Simply move to the row you want to delete and call the
deleteRow( ) method. Here's how to delete the last record in a
rs.last( );
rs.deleteRow( );
deleteRow( ) also deletes the row from the underlying database.
Note that not all
ResultSet objects are updateable. In general, the query must reference only a single table without any joins. Due to differences in database implementations, there is no single set of requirements for what makes an updateable
As useful as scrollable and updateable result sets are, the JDBC 2.0 specification doesn't require driver vendors to support them. If you are building middleware or some other kind of system that requires interaction with a wide range of database drivers, you should avoid this functionality for the time being. The extended JDBC 2.0
DatabaseMetaData object can provide information about scrolling and concurrency support.
This is Sun's term. We have yet to see any packages actually marketed as Java-relational databases, but many newer packages, including Oracle 8i, are capable of storing Java classes. A number of these products also use Java as a trigger language, generally in a JDBC structure.
Java is object-oriented; relational databases aren't. As a result, it's decidedly difficult to shoehorn a Java object into a stubbornly primitive-oriented database table. Luckily, the wind is changing, and newer database systems, including object-oriented database management systems (OODBMS) and Java-relational database management systems (see sidebar), provide direct support for storing and manipulating objects. While a regular relational database can store only a limited number of primitive types, a JDBMS system can store entire, arbitrary Java objects.
Say we want to store a customized Java
Account object in the
ACCOUNTS table in a database. With a standard DBMS and JDBC 1.0, we have to pull each piece of data (account number, account holder, balance, etc.) out of the
Account object and write it to a complicated database table. To get data out, we reverse the process. Short of serializing the
Account object and writing it to a binary field (a rather complex operation), we're stuck with this clumsy approach. (Various commercial products, such as Sun's Forte developer tool, automatically handle mapping objects to database records and vice versa. Check this site for more information.)
With JDBC 2.0, the
getObject( ) method has been extended to support these new Java-aware databases. Provided that the database supports a Java-object type, we can read the
Account object just like any primitive type:
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT ACCOUNT FROM ACCOUNTS");
rs.next( );
Account a = (Account)rs.getObject(1);
To store an object, we use a
PreparedStatement and the
setObject( ) method:
Account a = new Account( );
// Fill in appropriate fields in Account object
PreparedStatement stmt = con.prepareStatement(
stmt.setObject(1, a);
stmt.executeUpdate( );
A column that stores a Java object has a type of
Types.JAVA_OBJECT. The JDBC API doesn't take any special steps to locate the bytecodes associated with any particular class, so you should make sure that any necessary objects can be instantiated with a call to
Class.forName( ).
Next time, learn about errors and more.

There's already a well-established set of unofficial laws -- more like truths, really -- about the Internet. There's the classic Rule 34, which states, "If it exists, there's porn of it." There's Godwin's law, which states, "As a discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1." And there's Poe's law, which states, "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of fundamentalism that someone won't mistake for the real thing."
Just as the world of science evolves as new truths are discovered, adding to the tapestry of our understanding of the world, so too should our laws of the Internet. As the technology evolves and more people, experiences, and ideas are added into the mix, we need new truths to cover all the bases. Here are four we can add to the list.
4Regardless of Topic, Someone in the Comment Section Will Veer the Discussion into Politics
james steidl/iStock/Getty Images
Start a conversation on the Internet in which random people can join in and voice their opinion on a non-political topic and sooner or later someone will derail it all by attempting to place all the blame for everything on a political faction they don't agree with. This isn't exclusive to one party. People of every political affiliation do it, and they do it regardless of topic.
Maris Zemgalietis/iStock/Getty Images
"Pfft! Fuckig rePUGlicans ruin everything!"
In a Huffington Post article about some recently discovered 19th century erotic drawings, one of the first 10 commenters blames conservatives for making us all believe such images are dirty and shameful. Everyone else came to the comment section ready to laugh at doughy 19th century folks going to town on each other's junk. Don't bring politics into the fondled junk of 19th century fornicators. That should be a law in and of itself.
Comstock/Stockbyte/Getty Images
"Stupid libTARDS and their JEEEEW media!"
These commenters think they can see the Matrix code of life -- the plan of it all, the unquestionable truth of everything. The large pin board in their brain is loaded with newspaper clippings and strings linking them together to form an intricate web of blame. At its center, where all the strings meet, is the word "Republicans" or "Democrats" or "that motherfucker Ralph Nader." No one in real life wants to deal with their hyper-political rants, so they surf the Internet and spread their whiny bullshit far and wide, for all visitors of the comment sections to smell and step in.
3 If a File Has Multiple Download Buttons, the Correct Button Usually Will Not Be Your First Choice
Lies are all over the Internet. Add in the deception of marketing and you've got clear evidence that the Internet is run by a fur trapper who has gone digital and graduated to humans. Multiple download buttons on a download page are the digital manifestation of this Internet evil.
Four buttons, and not even one riddle to help figure it all out.
All you're looking for is a plug-in or, soon to be ironically, a free antivirus. You Google around and end up on a site that, if it were a neighborhood street, it would be the kind that makes you want to roll up your windows and death grip your pepper spray. There you will find a download button, usually big and green. And then another, bigger, greener; it looks way more fun to click. It's a party in a button. And maybe even another, but this one is blue and small and off to the side. You pretty much have the same choice to make as the guy at the end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. Wisely choose the correct button and your computer will continue living. Choose poorly and your computer will look like this:
You need years of experience traversing nefarious sites to properly navigate the minefield of download bars, or an Internet Sherpa to tell you not to step in yak shit as you climb the mountain of download bars. An incalculable number of your grandmother's PCs have been lost to duplicitous download bars that are basically a box with a spring-loaded boxing glove inside waiting to be opened so it can punch your computer with computer cancer. And it's hard to blame grandma; those things are tricky. They prey on the fact that we respond to symbols. Seeing that big green download button makes us want to click it. In doing so, we ignore the button's fine print, because no other button in the universe has fine print.
That guy out there who loves offering high-fives and then callously takes back his hand and gives you a "Too slow!" has grown. He's matured. He's since gotten into Internet marketing and specializes in fucking with us through download buttons.

Marketing Tips
Made from durable cardstock, 11" x 17" posters are an excellent choice for campaigns indoors and out. Regardless of whether they're going to be lining interior walls or exterior halls, there are several practical steps you can take to make your custom posters last even longer. These tips are relevant to those in a variety of fields, including:
The longer your posters last, the longer your message stays in front of your target audience. So take the time to consider how placement may affect the life of your campaign. For example, if there's a chance some of your posters will be facing the sun - or even a sunny window - for any period of time, consider adding a UV coating to prolong their lifespan. It's a free option when you print your posters with Next Day Flyers.
Windows are often an ideal place for posters. To get extra mileage out of your campaign, print your campaign image on both sides. You'll get double the visibility when posters are hung in a window. For those posters that aren't hung on windows, you'll get insurance. If one side of your poster is defaced or starts to fade with time, just flip it over and you've got a brand new poster ready for your audience to see.

I'm so confused! My dd is 5 months old. I'm debating whether to introduce solids or not. I'm exclusively bfing and inteded to until at least 6 months. She'll sit with support, push w/her feet/legs on tummy (not exactly crawl, but getting the ), and we give her a sippy cup w/a little bit of water at dinner time for her to feel like she's "eating" to. When she sees it, she'll reach out for it. When I eat, I make it a point to exaggerate the movements so that she gets the idea of eating. Lately, she's been interested in everything we put in our mouths. If I go to take a sip from my beverage, or take a bite out of food, she'll follow it to my mouth 'til I set it back down again. If she's close enough, she'll reach for the plate and try to grab it. I have a cup w/a straw, and the other day I was carrying her and my cup, and she went to put her mouth on the straw. Of course, I didn't let her because I had been using that straw.
She's also teething and waking up more during the night, whereas before, she was sleeping from 9pm-7am. I don't know if it's more because of the teething, or is she not getting full anymore?
Should I start? If so, HOW? With what? How much? What about bfing? Do I continue as normal? I'm SO confused. I don't want my supply to go down, because if for some reason she were to wean herself off the breast, she WON'T take bottles so how would she get her milk? or any liquids for that matter? to keep hydrated.
Please help Any suggestions would really help. Thank you ladies.

Shameless Attempt at Self-Promotion
Just in case you are not a regular reader of Jane Heller's blog Confessions of a She-Fan, let me direct your attention to today's post. Jane is having a contest, and she is asking her readers to vote for their favorite fan photo of the submissions she has received. The winner receives a nifty little video camera similar to the one pictured here:
I'm candidate number 18, out of 19. Jane says she posted them in the order she received them. What can I say, I waited until the last day to submit my entry. Why did I wait so long? Because I had a hard time finding a photo of myself that I liked. This one isn't my favorite – I'm having kind of a bad hair day in it – but it best represented the contest. So, this is the photo I submitted:
There are definitely some worthy contenders out there, including entries from some of my favorite bloggers, like Jenn, Jen, Emma, Kathleen, Cliff, Shelley, and Ken.
So head on over there and vote! Not that I'm requesting you vote for me, but if you did it would be greatly appreciated.😀
Don't hesitate, voting ends on May 22 (this Friday)!
May the best fan win!

Thanks for the shout-out Sue!!! I still want to know when J-Roll will start playing like an MVP!
Jenn – I did ask Jane to note that you took the photo that day. Many thanks again!
Ken – I'd like to know the answer to that too. Well, me and every other Phillies fan out there!

One look at a stretch of Waialae Avenue and, for many, this is Kaimuki.
But, those who live here say there's so much more to this neighborhood.
"Everyone seems to watch out for each other," said a mail carrier.
"It's just the most wonderful small-town feeling," said one woman. "It's just -- it's hard to describe. But, it's a feeling."
Click here to watch Justin Fujioka's report.
A feeling that residents say extends Koko Head to near Kahala Mall, makai to around Kilauea Avenue, mauka to Kaimuki's business corridor of Waialae Avenue and Ewa to either 6th Avenue or Kapahulu Avenue, depending on who you talk to.
"I believe people make their own boundaries of where Kaimuki starts and where it ends," said the woman.
Maybe it's because so many want to be a part of a population that makes this neighborhood so special, to both young and old.
"There's a lot of nice people here and good hospitality," said one girl.
"I just think that the neighborhood in general is really good and the people here," said one boy.
"They're just really friendly. They care about this place. Many people have lived here for a long time," said one man.
Catherine Hughes has lived in Kaimuki all 85 years of her life.
"People have lived in the area for generations," said Hughes.
"How has this place changed?" asked Justin Fujioka. Hughes responded, "Drastically."
The hill known as Pu'u O Kaimuki is a prominent feature of the area and helped shape this neighborhood. There's a lot of history here.
The hill behind the Kaimuki Fire Station was once home to a telegraph, as well as an observatory and a reservoir that supplied water to the dry, dusty and developing suburb of Honolulu around the start of the 20th century.
That's when people and homes, many prefabricated and shipped from the mainland, started moving in. They were moving in quickly once the Waialae Avenue Streetcar was built from Kapahulu to Koko Head Avenues in 1903.
"Ended right here and the roads ended at 22nd Avenue. From there on was all agriculture," said Hughes.
But, not for long. As more and more automobiles took to the roads and more suburbs were built out toward Hawaii Kai, the streetcar was shut down.
Still, Waialae Avenue continued to grow as the neighborhood's business district.
"I think that we have to try and welcome the change and make it as nice as possible. Try and design it so it's comfortable for everyone," said Hughes.
It's something residents of Kaimuki have been doing for generations. By keeping that small-town feeling throughout all the growth and change.

Sex and the City is a huge guilty pleasure of mine (oh wait, I'm not even guilty). The six hit series and the two feature films that followed have been watched over and over by me and are a great talking point when it comes to girly gossip about men, boys, friendship and life in general. While I see a little of myself in each of the four - and I guess everyone does, that's the whole appeal of the show - Carrie Bradshaw, with her penchant for shoes and the fact that she writes for a living, speaks mostly to me. I've always been a fan of name jewellery; it can be tacky but when it's done right I think it's beautiful. I've had this dainty little necklace for a while now, and like Carrie, it's one of my most treasured pieces. I chose the standard 18" chain and it's the perfect length to wear with anything - it looks especially sweet worn underneath a collar so just the name is peeking through! It's delicate looking but surprisingly good quality, and this kind of thing would make a perfect present for a loved one; or as I always say, for yourself..
Are you a fan of this type of jewellery? Which Sex and the City lady would you say you're most like and why?

Philadelphia Phillies (11-7) at San Francisco Giants (10-8)
Roy Halladay (4-0, 0.82 ERA) vs. Jonathan Sanchez (1-1, 1.86 ERA)
Time: 10:10 p.m at AT&T Park
TV:Comcast Sportsnet
Weather: Mostly Cloudy, 53
Twitter: @philliesnation
The Phillies are coming off a frustrating loss, and hope that Roy Halladay can stop the bleeding. He's done it a few times this year. Halladay will open the series in San Francisco against Jonathan Sanchez and the Giants.
The bullpen has been shaky of late, however Halladay likes to give the bullpen a rest. Including his last few starts in Toronto, Halladay is 6-0 with 0.53 earned run average, four complete games, and three shutouts in his last six starts. The Giants have scored a few runs off Halladay thus far, but Halladay has proven that he can settle down and pitch a gem.
Ryan Howard is fresh off his 5-year, $125 million contract, and would like to show fans why he's worth that amount. Howard has faced Sanchez 12 times in his career, collecting a .250 average against him.
Overall, Sanchez is starting the year off on the right foot. He's been collecting strikeouts right and left. Sanchez has a tendency to become wild though. Working the count and drawing walks will be key for the Phillies against Sanchez.
Your Gameday Beer– Today's beer is Red Rocket Ale. Careful, this Amber/Red Ale is on fire. Its deep cinnamon color makes for a beautiful pour so be sure to release it from the bottle. Its hoppy, caramel malt flavor comes from a complex recipe of five different grains. If you can, roast a chicken with all the fix-ins. -By Brian
Go Phillies!

Ok guys, we got a game with the Giants tonight. And that only means one thing. Bad news for the Giants!
They stink. Doc looks good. Give a man 125. To catch
Werth looks like Howard's contract is getting to him more than it is bothering Howard.
How many straight fastballs down the middle will werth miss this yr? His head is in left field watching where the ball will land but he misses it… frustrating. Too bad the Phils didn't get one last inning. They'll make it close and most likely come up short with that bullpen in flux… when things are going bad, they really go bad. April has never been their month anyways…. May will be better month
This is practically a blueprint of what happened yesterday, with the roles reversed. Too bad I don't envision SF squandering what looks to be a sure win. Can't wait for May. Maybe getting some regulars back will help spark the club.
They need to score a run when they get a lead off double, and should get at least 2 when you have bases loaded with 1 out.
One of the frustrating things about this group of players is that you know they will struggle in April, June and early September.
Clutch hitting is a problem.
As a resident of Philadelphia, Howard's contract will ensure that he pays about $5 million in the city wage tax. We all win!
Oh man, can't wait to see 6 more years of LHP's owning Ryan Howard in clutch spots.
howard is worth every penny. Keep striking out.
okay guys…sanchez HASN'T LET UP A HIT TO A LEFT HANDER IN ANY START
get off howard…
you ppl are unreal
Agreed Publius, working on his approach to lefties is one thing that will really make or break this contract. He's gotta learn to lay off those sliders. Of course, if I'm not mistaken, that wasn't even a slider that he missed this past inning.
Bring me back! Howard stinks! Last year he only tied for first place for RBI. And he hasn't hit 50 homeruns in like 2 years. What a bum! Why would they spend all that money? They could had me for less.
this blog is worthless.
you people are stupid.
dude strikes out once and you think the deal is bad..
i'm done with this blog. you people arent even fans..
it's pathetic
Hitting w/ RISP continues to be a disgrace. Can't even make a productive out.
I should correct what I said. Howard better be a lifetime Phillie – strikeouts or not. It's not just the home runs, not just the power – it's that he's an icon in Philly and I'm glad that's gonna continue.
thank you joe,
i can't stand some "fans"
I am glad we will never have to see Howard wear a different team's uniform.
So far this season, the slogan for this blog has been "If I can't complain, I have nothing to say."
We have to remind ourselves that we wouldn't have expected this career from him back in 2004, even after he lead Double-A in home runs. In the big leagues, he's made Thome and all the other prior first basemen seem like place holders until he got here. He may strike out against some lefties, but imagine how scared they are of facing him. Only a few hitters in baseball inspire that kind of fear.
Man, this has been the night for the Phils to leave runners on base. They are what, 0-9 with runners in scoring position?
Yea, they've left a small village on the base paths tonight.
Morris Buttermaker, I agree. I turned away from what I said before because this blog's of, for and by Phans – people who love the Phils regardless of the outcome. Giants have beat the Phils seven out of ten in their last ten meetings in Frisco, and, even worse, the Phils have caught the Giants and D'Backs on hot streaks. There's a whole season ahead – and at least five more years of the Big Piece ahead. Not a good game tonight, but I'm not complaning otherwise.
I mentioned this in another blog the other day that we have to stop pitching Halliday 100 plus pitches. He will have a dead arm and might already.
Tonight is a great example, but I could be wrong.
It's widely believed that when Pac Bell/ SBC/ AT&T Ballpark was designed, the architects forgot to include bullpens. So after the stadium was built, they had to place the bullpens along the foullines because there was no where else to put them.
I love how Bastardo looks like he wants to fight someone everytime he ends an inning.
We definitely have the feistiest lefty combination of any team haha.

Jean Verlich: Freedom Newspapers
SEI-CCS LLC plans to add up to 80 jobs by the end of the year to its Clovis bilingual customer care center, nearly tripling the number of employees, according to a company spokesperson.
The company received $282,108 in state Job Training Incentive Awards to create 71 of the jobs, according to a news release from the New Mexico Economic Development Department.
Susan Schuette, SEI vice president of customer relations, said the company is hiring now as it adds responsibility for servicing some clients to Clovis and gains new business.
Schuette described the positions being filled as similar to the technical support jobs held now by the 44 employees at the South Seventh Street site.
SEI employees in Clovis provide hardware, software and procedural technical support for McDonald's Corp.'s U.S. operations, Schuette said, and are beginning to support Culligan.
She described the Clovis unit as a "very critical location for us" because employees are bilingual, noting "the critical needs in the industry to provide technical support in Spanish."
For McDonald's, SEI employees in Clovis receive calls from restaurant owners and managers who have difficulty with equipment and provide technical and procedural assistance, according to Schuette.
SEI has 700 employees and annual revenue of $50 million, according to Schuette. It has four U.S. and two European customer support centers, according to its Web site www.seiccs.com.
The state Job Training Incentive Program, formerly known as the In-Plant Training Program, reimburses qualified economic-based companies for a significant portion of training costs associated with job creation, according to the news release.
To qualify, new or expanding companies must either create a product in New Mexico or provide a non-retail service with 50 percent of the company's customer or revenue base outside the state. The eligible jobs must be full-time and year-round. Trainees must be new hires and have been a New Mexico resident for at least one continuous year at any time prior to being hired.

Cederic Justice was traveling north in an 18-wheeler with a 42,000-pound load of cornmeal bound for North Carolina.
"We think he fell asleep," said Department of Public Safety Corp. C.J. Villarreal.
Justice ran off the road and appeared to have over-corrected, according to Trooper Andrew Smith, who investigated the accident.
The 18-wheeler traveled 300 feet down the bar ditch before the truck flipped on its side onto the divider fence. Justice was thrown out the driver's side window, and the cab fell on him, according to the trooper.
"We possibly would have had a different outcome if he had been wearing a seat belt," Smith said.
The weather was a little foggy, and speed was not a factor, according to Smith.
The north and southbound lanes were reduced to one lane of traffic until 3 p.m. Friday afternoon.
Allan's Wrecker Service, of Victoria, sent five drivers to the scene to unload the cornmeal by hand so the rig could be up-righted and hauled away.

Kathy Lynch's triplets love to play outdoors. But she's not too crazy about all the stains they get on their clothes.
"Food, dirt, grass, you name it, they're into it!" says Lynch.
To find out whether laundry pretreatments can make a difference, Consumer Reports tested more than a dozen, including big-name brands like Shout and Tide.
"All of them are supposed to be applied directly to the stain and left for several minutes before washing," says Mandy Walker of Consumer Reports.
Testers took swatches of fabric soaked with these tough-to-remove stains - coffee, blood, wine, motor oil, and cocoa. They applied the same amount of each cleaner to the stain, let it sit for five minutes, then washed the swatches with detergent and a full load of towels.
"We also washed the stained fabric with detergent but without pretreating the stains, to see if the products really made a difference," says Walker.
Testers analyzed the swatches with a colorimeter to determine how much of the stain was removed.
"While Resolve Foaming Aerosol says it's 'amazing,' it wasn't. In fact, it didn't do a great job on most of the stains," says Walker.
And Shout Advanced Stain Lifting Aerosol didn't do much better. In fact, none of the stain treatments did a great job at removing cocoa.
"Still, most of the stain treatments did do better than just using detergent alone," says Walker.
In the end, it was Resolve laundry stain remover in the spray bottle that removed the most stains. And at ten cents an ounce, it's the cheapest one tested. Good to have on hand, especially with kids who can make a mess.

30:Group urges spaying catsFebruary 02,2013
MIDDLESEX — Vermont Companion Animal Neutering is urging cat owners to "beat the heat" by spaying their female cats in advance of their heat cycles to prevent unwanted litters from being born this Spring.
According to a statement released by the nonprofit organization, animal shelters commonly refer to springtime as "kitten season" because that's when they receive the largest influx of unwanted litters.
During the entire month of February, the organization will spay female cats — or neuter male cats — for a special rate of $20 for all Vermont cat owners. Cat owners who wish to take advantage of this offer must mention the "Beat the Heat" promotion when they schedule their appointment at the organization's clinic in Middlesex.
For more information and to schedule an appointment, call 223-0034, email email@example.com, or go online to www.vt-can.org.MORE IN This Just In

dr. bill, if you look back, I think you'll find that helen's post is rather flatteringly duplicative of an earlier post in this thread, at
my apologies to you, dr. bill, for mis-noting its date
And surely my post is no more woundingly-phrased to helen than the many previous notations of YART seen on this board.

yes, he is of course right, dr bill.. but that's what he is a master at.. always being right, and aphonic (ie voiceless,(but not wordless,)) rants-- (to talk or say, in a loud extravagant way, declaim violently, to rave-- from old german word, who meaning was to affront,) is a rather an appropriate handle in some ways, don't you think?
as self proclaimed loud, extravagant, violent declaimer! (i merely comment, on the word the poster himself, has chosen to define himself)
and just at bad money drive out good in an economic system, bad attitudes drive out good ones.. and i admit to being angry and annoyed at cloying sweet remarks, when i percieve the rotting, vile decay behind them._________________________

Helen, might your last be a bit excessive? Plenty of people have YARTed; plenty of times others have called them on it; and neither is any big deal. And I certainly wouldn't think you'd object to my phrasing being "sweet remarks" rather than sourpuss ones!

Immigration and emigration
During the 19th century many of our ancestors arrived in the UK from all round the world by sea. Despite how long it took to travel, people in those days moved around far more than you might think. Some came to the UK to find jobs, or to gain new skills in Britain's booming mining, textile and manufacturing industries. Others came to study, or were passing through and decided to stay longer than planned. Sometimes people arrived in Britain to escape economic hardship or religious and political persecution in their homeland.
Although people arriving in Britain weren't legally required to register their status with the authorities until 1914, in most cases information about them was written down in the passenger list of the ship they sailed in. These were kept and indexed by the Board of Trade and you can search over 16 million records in our UK Incoming Passenger Lists 1878–1960. Aside from immigrants and passengers passing through UK ports, these records include plenty of people who left the UK for a better life in countries like the United States, Canada, Australia, India or China, and later returned to visit family, or to resettle.
Searching passenger lists
This collection includes arrivals from all around the world, apart from European and Mediterranean ports. You'll find plenty of interesting information about travellers and their journeys such as name, age, travel dates, ports of departure and arrival, and frequently their home town and nationality. Families travelling together were usually recorded as groups, and being able to see a list of accompanying children provides useful research clues. Some researchers are surprised by how often people they thought had left the UK for good are seen to return time and again in these records.
Ancestors from overseas may also appear in the Alien Arrivals Collection 1810-11 and 1826-69. The data here is from official documents completed when passengers arrived in the UK from places like Russia, Germany, Poland and Scandinavia. There are 650,000 records to search and they include information such as name, date of arrival, ship, nationality and more. Because the Incoming Passenger Lists only begin in 1878, this collection is a great supplement to the Incoming Passenger Lists, taking your searches for traveller ancestors as far back as 1810.
Some researchers love to track down the black sheep in their family trees. If you're one of them then the Australian Convict Transportation Registers will be of great interest, as well as England & Wales, Criminal Registers, 1791–1892, which also includes Transportation records. In many cases, a transported convict could apply to have his wife and family brought to Australia to join him after his sentence, and records of them can be found in the Assisted Immigrant Passenger Lists for New South Wales 1826–1922.

For years I rolled my eyes when my grandmother said, "If you keep making that face it will freeze that way" after she caught me crossing my eyes, crinkling my nose, or saw me sticking out my tongue. My sister and I would giggle at the thought of a man with his face frozen in a puckered grimace that he made as a child, or some poor girl trying to speak with a tongue that was permanently protruded as the result of a silly face she once made.
While my grandmother's theory of faces becoming "frozen" was laughable in my childhood years, I have recently come to the conclusion that at least part of this old wives tale may be accurate.
In my career as a myofunctional therapist, I work with children, and my focus is essentially on their faces. It is my job to help them learn to use the muscles of their mouth and face "correctly" in order to improve an array of troubles centering on speech, dental health, orthodontic treatment and facial growth and development.
Most of the children I see have experienced breathing problems. They have learned to breathe through their mouth, rather than their nose from an early age. This is usually caused by conditions such as enlarged tonsils, chronic nasal congestion, allergies, or even food sensitivities. The only option for these suffering children to get enough oxygen into their bodies is to breathe through the mouth.

Odessa (Ukrainian: Одеса; Russian: Одесса; also known as Odessa) is the fourth largest city in Ukraine. Population: 1,029,000 (2001 Ukrainian Census), 1,012,500 (est. 2004).
The city is a major seaport on the Black Sea, the largest port in Ukraine.
From 1819–1858 Odessa was a free port (porto franco). During the Soviet period it was the most important port of trade in the U.S.S.R. and a Soviet naval base. On January 1, 2000 the Quarantine Pier of Odessa trade sea port was declared a free port and free economic zone for a term of 25 years.
In the 19th century it was the fourth city of Imperial Russia, after Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Warsaw. Its historical architecture has a flavor more Mediterranean than Russian, having been heavily influenced by French and Italian styles.[citation needed]
Odessa is a warm water port, but of limited military value. Turkey's control of the Dardanelles and Bosphorus has enabled NATO to control water traffic between Odessa and the Mediterranean Sea. The city of Odessa hosts two important ports: Odessa itself and Yuzhny (also an internationally important oil terminal), situated in the city's suburbs. Another important port, Illichivs'k (or Ilyichyovsk), is located in the same oblast, to the south-west of Odessa. Together they represent a major transportation junction integrated with railways. Odessa's oil- and chemical-processing facilities are connected to Russia's and EU's respective networks by strategic pipelines.
