Java Servlet & JSP Cookbook
Editor's note: The Java Servlet & JSP Cookbook offers hundreds of tips and techniques that Java web developers can put to use every day. If you're thinking about adding this book to your Java library, here's a sneak peek at three recipes we've extracted from the book, which we think will make that purchasing decision an easy one. In these samples, learn how to use the Java Plug-in HTML Converter tool to generate the tags for embedding an applet, how to configure a
javax.sql.DataSource for use in a servlet with the Tomcat web container, and how to use the JSTL's XML and XSLT-related tags. Enjoy.
You want to use the Java Plug-in HTML Converter tool to generate the tags for embedding an applet.
Use the HTML Converter tool within htmlconverter.jar, which is located in the lib directory of the directory where you have the Java SDK installed.
A busy developer can let the Java Plug-in HTML Converter tool produce the HTML tags that are responsible for loading Java applets. The Java Plug-in is a Java-based tool that allows applets to be run in the Sun Microsystems Java 2 runtime environment, rather than within the web browser's Java runtime environment. The Java Plug-in is installed on your machine when you install the JRE, including the installation of the SDK.
The HTML Converter tool will convert a specified JSP file that contains an
applet HTML tag, replacing the
applet tag with a more complex tag collection that allows most
browsers to load the Java applet. The Converter leaves the rest of your JSP code
untouched; it only replaces the JSP's
applet tag.
Here is how to use the HTML Converter tool:
Write the JSP file, adding an
applet tag. Example 17-3 shows a JSP that embeds a Clock.class applet reference. This JSP, rather redundantly, dynamically writes a time string beneath the applet. I included this code to show that the Converter does not change the JSP code; it just alters the
applet tag template text included with the JSP.
Example 17-3. A JSP with an applet tag
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<jsp:useBean id="date" class="java.util.Date" />
<title>A Clock in a JSP</title>

The time...

<applet code="Clock.class" codebase="http://localhost:8080/home/applets">

<c:out value="$2004-02-25"/>
Open a command-line window to the lib directory of your SDK installation, such as H:\j2sdk1.4.1_01\lib.
htmlconverter.jar -gui. This command launches the Swing version of the HTML Converter tool. Figure 17-2 shows what the tool looks like.
Figure 17-2. The HTML Converter (GUI version)
TIP: The HTML Converter can also be run from the command line. See the Java Plug-in Developer Guide for supported options: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/guide/plugin/.
If you want to choose a back-up folder where the tool saves the old JSP file (with the
applet tag), use the HTML Converter GUI window to choose this folder.
Click the "Convert . . . " button with the JSP file specified in the top text field, and the Converter will overwrite the original file with additional
object and
embed tags.
Example 17-4 shows the code that replaced the
applet tag in Example 17-3 (in bold font), as well as the code that the converter tool did not modify.
Example 17-4. The object and embed tags produced by the HTML Converter
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<jsp:useBean id="date" class="java.util.Date" />
<title>A Clock in a JSP</title>

The time...

classid =
codebase =
<PARAM NAME = CODE VALUE = "Clock.class" >
<PARAM NAME = CODEBASE VALUE = "http://localhost:8080/home/applets" >
<PARAM NAME = "type" VALUE = "application/x-java-applet;version=1.4">
<PARAM NAME = "scriptable" VALUE = "false">
type = "application/x-java-applet;version=1.4"
CODE = "Clock.class"
JAVA_CODEBASE = "http://localhost:8080/home/applets"
scriptable = false
pluginspage =
<APPLET CODE = "Clock.class" JAVA_CODEBASE =

<c:out value="$2004-02-25"/>
WARNING: Users may have trouble loading the applet in their browsers if they have several installed versions of the Java Plug-in. This occurs when users steadily upgrade their JRE or Java SDK versions, which install the corresponding version of the Java Plug-in. The simplest solution in these cases is to uninstall the old Java Plug-ins.
The Java Plug-in technology page: http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/; Recipe 17.1 on embedding a Java applet using the
jsp:plugin standard JSP action.
You want to configure a
javax.sql.DataSource for use in a servlet with the Tomcat web container.
Create a
resource element in Tomcat's server.xml file and an associated
resource-ref element in the web.xml deployment descriptor.
Tomcat makes it easy to set up a connection pool so that servlets and JSPs can efficiently share database connections. In web sites that have many simultaneous users, a connection pool improves efficiency by sharing existing database connections, rather than creating a new connection and tearing it down every time an application has to use the database.
Another benefit of configuring a connection pool is that you can change the database system that a servlet or JSP is using without touching the Java code, because the database resource is configured outside of the servlet or JSP.
Here are the steps for configuring a
DataSource with Tomcat:
Create a
Resource and a
ResourceParams element in server.xml, or in the XML file that you have placed in Tomcat's webapps directory. These elements describe the JNDI object you are creating in order to provide your servlets or JSPs with a
Add a
resource-ref element to web.xml, which allows the components in the associated web application to access the configured
Example 21-2 shows the
Resource and a
ResourceParams elements in server.xml. This example describes a
DataSource that connects with an Oracle 8i database.
Example 21-2. The resource element in server.xml
<Resource name="jdbc/oracle-8i-athletes" scope=
"Shareable" type="javax.sql.DataSource" auth=
"Container" description="Home Oracle 8i Personal Edition"/>
<ResourceParams name="jdbc/oracle-8i-athletes">
Create a
Resource and
ResourceParams element for
each database that your application uses. Example 21-3 shows the
resource-ref element associated with the
Resource specified by Example 21-2.
Example 21-3. A resource-ref element specifies a DataSource in web.xml

The JNDI path to this
DataSource, which you use in a JNDI lookup
(see the next recipe), is jdbc/oracle-8i-athletes.
TIP: The servlet 2.4 API does not require the web.xml elements such as
resource-ref to appear in a specific order. The servlet 2.3 API specifies the order these elements must appear in with a Document Type Definition (DTD). See Chapter 1.

You want to use the JSTL's XML and XSLT-related tags.
Use the various XML tags after declaring the tag library with the proper
taglib directive (
uri attribute of http://java.sun.com/jstl/xml for JSTL 1.0 or http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/xml for JSTL 1.1).
A number of web site teams may already have devised stylesheets for transforming XML into HTML. In addition, you may want to separate most of the XML transformation responsibilities from JSPs, so that JSPs focus only on presenting the transformed information. The JSTL provides XML-related tags to easily integrate stylesheets into JSPs. Example 23-4 is an Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) document that converts an XML file into HTML. The stylesheet provides a conversion of an Ant build file similar to the one described in Recipe 23.3.
Example 23-4. The stylesheet for transforming an XML file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<title>List of build.xml targets
</title>
Build.xml targets

<xsl:apply-templates />
<xsl:template match="/project">
<xsl:for-each select="./target">
<xsl:value-of select="@name" />

<xsl:if test="@depends">

depends=<xsl:value-of select="@depends" />

</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:template match="text( )">
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space( )" />
How do you apply this XSL file to the build.xml file to produce a readable format? Example
23-5 uses the
x:transform tag
to associate a stylesheet with an XML file. First, the JSP has to import both
the stylesheet of the prior example and the XML file this stylesheet transforms
by using the
c:import tag. The
c:import tag imports
the resource specified by its
url attribute and stores it in a
variable (e.g.,
buildXml) that the
x:transform tag can
Example 23-5. A JSP displays the result of an XSL transformation
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/xml" prefix="x" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<c:import url="http://localhost:8080/home/build.xml" var="buildXml" />
<c:import url="/WEB-INF/xslt/chap23.xsl" var="xslt" />
<x:transform xml="${buildXml}" xslt="${xslt}" />
x:transform tag makes the transformation process very easy,
once you've put together a valid stylesheet file. The
x:transform tag's
xml attribute specifies the XML file that the
x:transform tag handler transforms by applying a stylesheet. The
code specifies the stylesheet to use in the transformation with the
x:transform tag's
xslt attribute.
NOTE: The
xml and
xslt attributes of
x:transform resolve the variables that represent the stylesheet and the XML file by using the EL, as in:
Figure 23-3 shows the result of running the JSP of Example 23-5. In short,
x:transform provides your very own XSLT processor for use in the JSP.

Bursiform probably is the root of the term Burse, a
cloth covered square cardboard container. It held the
Corporal, a square cloth placed in the center of the
altar, on which the sacramental bread and wine were
placed. Theoretically only the bread and wine on the
corporal were consecrated as sacred species, at least
in the old Roman Church. They watered so much down
it probably does not exist there any more. At any
rate, when not in use it was contained in the burse.
The corporal was washed in a sink called the sacrarium,
which emptied directly into the ground not a sewage
outlet, so the sacred species, bread crumbs,i.e., would
return to the ground whence grew the wheat._________________________

English purse < Late Latin bursa 'purse, pouch' < Greek bursa 'ox hide; skin'. Bursar and burse both come from the Latin term. I'm pretty sure the rules about the burse and the corporal are still pretty much as they used to be._________________________

City Room: This is Where We Belong'January 26,2013
Part of having an appreciation for history is knowing where people come from. In part thats why I enjoy being a journalist. It is a privilege to hear the stories of my friends and neighbors across central Vermont. In my capacity, I get to hear about heroes and tragedies, successes and failures, ordinary and extraordinary, you name it. Together, we all weave the fabric of our community.
Having grown up here, I know many of the people and places that make up the heritage and culture of this area. I cherish our rich history here, with roots that go back to the founding fathers and to the first immigrants who moved to this country. We are an amazing melting pot of ideas and traditions. From that proud past, Barre and neighboring communities have had strong ties to social clubs and service organizations many of them with ties either to religion, culture or service.
Membership in these organizations has become itself a great source of community pride. These affiliations are badges of honor, and have been for generations.
Today we kick off a new series Where We Belong which highlights the history and success of the service organizations and social clubs that have come to define central Vermonters.
Writer and researcher Kathryn Eddy, whose architecture series Building Blocks got people looking at Barre through a more schooled eye, will not only explore how these organizations serve the community but will introduce us to some of the people who have become central to our community-building and pride.
While many communities across the nation are seeing membership in these organizations dropping off as our national priorities have changed along with technology and jobs, Barre (and much of central Vermont) still is seeing a very active club and service organization network.
As you will see, all of these groups are a poignant and revealing reflection of our community.
And every single one of the stories behind why central Vermonters join, engage and get involved is personal and extraordinary.
I hope Where We Belong shows exactly how much we really do belong.
In advance, many thanks to the organizations that are opening their doors and membership to this series. And further thanks to those groups that have agreed that through joint ventures and partnerships we can all benefit and learn from one another the same way we have for generations.
In this appreciation of history, we continue to make it.

Another experienced O-Lineman...Nice! While I am liking the thought of our future being built (or slightly rebuild) thru the draft....you would be crazy not to put some experienced linemen in this season to protect PR and add some rookies to learn and grow behind them. This is another good move my the new regime...keep on keeping on!
Great to be a Charger fan and a BAD day to be a Denver Donkey fan! It's going to be tough for the Denver defense after losing first D.J. Williams to the Bears and then Elvis Dummervill to the Ravens. I plan to donate my fax machine that I haven't used the past 10 years to the Denver front office as condolences- haha!!
Ha Ha that is soooooo funny!!! Lovin' It!!

I am loving the moves on o-line depth that can play multiple positions! Versatility is key! People are upset that they let players walk. Except for Franklin & Vasquez, I'm not really bummed about these moves, and I'm not terribly upset with those two leaving if the NT position is addressed in the draft. I haven't done the math myself, but a (usually) reliable poster commented that we have 6.9 million left under the cap. That doesn't include signing our draft picks either. If that's the right figure, you can see why we aren't making big signings. Every penny counts. Also, it would be nice to have a little left for next year too. Unless we see some more cuts, or contract restructuring (which I wouldn't want to see personally), I think they are doing everything they can, and these signings make a lot of sense. I just shake my head when people say ridiculous things like "we should sign such and such player... They're idiots!" when that player costs more than the cap space we have... Lol.

FAQs about Peace Corps in Cambodia
|FAQs about Peace Corps
For information see Welcomebooks
- 1 How much luggage am I allowed to bring to Cambodia?
- 2 What is the electric current in Cambodia?
- 3 How much money should I bring?
- 4 When can I take vacation and have people visit me?
- 5 Will my belongings be covered by insurance?
- 6 Do I need an international driver's license?
- 7 What should I bring as gifts for Cambodia friends and my host family?
- 8 Where will my site assignment be when I finish training and how isolated will I be?
- 9 How can my family contact me in an emergency?
- 10 Can I call home from Cambodia?
- 11 Should I bring a cellular phone with me?
- 12 Will there be email and Internet access? Should I bring my computer?
How much luggage am I allowed to bring to Cambodia?
Most airlines have baggage size and weight limits and assess charges for transport of baggage that exceeds those limits. The Peace Corps has its own size and weight limits and will not pay the cost of transport for baggage that exceeds these limits. The Peace Corps' allowance is two checked pieces of luggage with combined dimensions of both pieces not to exceed 107 inches (length + width + height) and a carry-on bag with dimensions of no more than 45 inches. Checked baggage should not exceed 80 pounds [or 100 for countries with cold weather] total with a maximum weight of 50 pounds for any one bag.
Peace Corps Volunteers are not allowed to take pets, weapons, explosives, radio transmitters (shortwave radios are permitted), automobiles, or motorcycles to their overseas assignments. Do not pack flammable materials or liquids such as lighter fluid, cleaning solvents, hair spray, or aerosol containers. This is an important safety precaution.
What is the electric current in Cambodia?
220 Volts
How much money should I bring?
Volunteers are expected to live at the same level as the people in their community. You will be given a settling-in allowance and a monthly living allowance, which should cover your expenses. Often Volunteers wish to bring additional money for vacation travel to other countries. Credit cards and traveler's checks are preferable to cash. If you choose to bring extra money, bring the amount that will suit your own travel plans and needs. You will open a Cambodian bank account early in your service. Peace Corps will deposit your allowances and reimbursements into this account throughout your service.
When can I take vacation and have people visit me?
Each Volunteer accrues two vacation days per month of service (excluding training). Leave may not be taken during training, the first three months of service, or the last three months of service, except in conjunction with an authorized emergency leave. Family and friends are welcome to visit you after pre-service training and the first three months of service as long as their stay does not interfere with your work. Extended stays at your site are not encouraged and may require permission from your country director. The Peace Corps is not able to provide your visitors with visa, medical, or travel assistance.
Will my belongings be covered by insurance?
The Peace Corps does not provide insurance coverage for personal effects; Volunteers are ultimately responsible for the safekeeping of their personal belongings. However, you can purchase personal property insurance before you leave. If you wish, you may contact your own insurance company; additionally, insurance application forms will be provided, and we encourage you to consider them carefully. Volunteers should not ship or take valuable items overseas. Jewelry, watches, radios, cameras, and expensive appliances are subject to loss, theft, and breakage, and in many places, satisfactory maintenance and repair services are not available.
Do I need an international driver's license?
Volunteers in Cambodia do not need an international driver's license because they are prohibited from operating privately owned motorized vehicles. Most urban travel is by bus or taxi. Rural travel ranges from buses and minibuses to trucks, bicycles, and lots of walking. On very rare occasions, a Volunteer may be asked to drive a sponsor's vehicle, but this can occur only with prior written permission of the country director. Should this occur, the Volunteer may obtain a local driver's license. A U.S. driver's license will facilitate the process, so bring it with you just in case.
What should I bring as gifts for Cambodia friends and my host family?
This is not a requirement. A token of friendship is sufficient. Some gift suggestions include knickknacks for the house; pictures, books, or calendars of American scenes; souvenirs from your area; hard candies that will not melt or spoil; or photos to give away. Photos, inexpensive but nicely packaged hair and skin products from the U.S., and colorful garments and purses are also appreciated. Personal mementos and family photos will be especially useful in sharing your life in America with your host families and community friends.
Where will my site assignment be when I finish training and how isolated will I be?
Peace Corps trainees are not assigned to individual sites until after they have completed pre-service training. This gives Peace Corps staff the opportunity to assess each trainee's technical and language skills prior to assigning sites, in addition to finalizing site selections with their ministry counterparts. If feasible, you may have the opportunity to provide input on your site preferences, including geographical location, distance from other Volunteers, and living conditions. However, keep in mind that many factors influence the site selection process and that the Peace Corps cannot guarantee placement where you would ideally like to be. Most Volunteers live in small towns or in rural villages and are usually within one hour from another Volunteer. Some sites require a 10-to-12-hour drive from the capital. There is at least one Volunteer based in each of the regional capitals and about five to eight Volunteers in the capital city. Most Volunteers will live in small towns or provincial capitals and will usually live within one hour of another Volunteer. Most sites will be within a 10-hour drive from the capital.
How can my family contact me in an emergency?
The Peace Corps' Office of Special Services provides assistance in handling emergencies affecting trainees and Volunteers or their families. Before leaving the United States, instruct your family to notify the Office of Special Services immediately if an emergency arises, such as a serious illness or death of a family member. During normal business hours, the number for the Office of Special Services is 800.424.8580; select option 2, then extension 1470. After normal business hours and on weekends and holidays, the Special Services duty officer can be reached at the above number. For nonemergency questions, your family can get information from your country desk staff at the Peace Corps by calling 800.424.8580.
Can I call home from Cambodia?
Yes, it is relatively easy to call the United States from Cambodia. In addition to your Peace Corps-issued cellphone, many provincial Internet cafes have inexpensive Internet calling.
Should I bring a cellular phone with me?
It is not necessary to bring a cellular phone from the United States to Cambodia.
Will there be email and Internet access? Should I bring my computer?
Most provinces have Internet cafes, although speed and price vary considerably. While a computer is not necessary for your work, you may choose to bring one for personal use. Some Volunteers find a computer a vital organizational tool for creating lesson plans, storing photos, listening to music or writing letters. Even if electricity is not available in your area, you will be able to power your computer by car battery.
Recently, some Volunteers have been able to get relatively inexpensive Internet service via cellphone. If you think you may want such service, having a computer at site will make it easier to access the Internet.
Be aware that public use of computers might further the assumption that you are a wealthy foreigner with a lot of money to spend. Also, due to the high humidity and excessive dust in Cambodia, if you bring a computer you will probably not want to keep it by the time your service is over.

Faculty of Science
Ontario government funds Laurier Physics and Computer Science research
Communications, Public Affairs & Marketing
May 24/12| For Immediate Release
Abby Goodrum, Vice-President, Research
Kevin Crowley, Director, Communications & Public Affairs
WATERLOO Laurier Physics and Computer Science researcher, Hongbing Fan, received funding for his Smart Grid research project through Phase II of the Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) Special Energy Fund program. The Honourable Brad Duguid, Ontario Minister of Economic Development and Innovation, made the announcement May 15 at OCE Discovery 2012 at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
Fans successful proposal was to develop a Communication Middleware System for Smart Grid. An associate professor in Lauriers Department of Physics and Computer Science, he will be creating a data communication and distributed computing system for use in smart energy systems.
In addition to support from OCE, Fans industry partner is Waterloo energy informatics company Energent Incorporated, which provides cloud based energy management information systems to a diverse customer base in Canada and internationally.
We have been collaborating for several years with the OCE, UW, Hydro One and Milton Hydro on a transformative energy innovation project and recognized the tremendous benefit and commercial potential in Dr. Fans technology, a key element of any smart grid solution, stated Gord Ellis, chief technology officer at Energent.
In 2007, the Government of Ontario asked OCE to undertake funding of special energy projects to bring energy innovation to market for a cleaner environment. Phase II of the Special Energy Fund program is focused on smart-grid technologies to modernize the electricity grid through secure integration of electrical infrastructure with information infrastructure. Successful Phase II projects cover a range of topics from energy storage, to efficient use of assets, to grid control. This phase will see a $3 million investment in 11 projects at 10 universities across Ontario with an additional $2.8 million from 31 partners.
We celebrate OCEs recognition of Hongbing Fans contribution to the field of clean energy, said Abby Goodrum, Lauriers vice-president: Research. This is yet another example of the excellent and timely research being done in Lauriers growing Faculty of Science.
Total funding for the project amounts to $100,000, with contributions from the OCE and from Energent. In addition to working with Energent, Fan will also collaborate with Claudio Cañizares, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo.

Conference sows entrepreneurial seeds for growthBy Bruce Edwards
STAFF WRITER | March 26,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff Photo
Castleton State College President David Wolk welcomes Lawrence Miller, secretary of the Agency of Commerce and Community Development, at a business seminar at the college Monday.CASTLETON Lawrence Miller knows something about entrepreneurship. Before his current job as secretary of the Agency of Commerce and Community Development, Miller started Otter Creek Brewing.
But getting to the point where the Middlebury brewery could be considered a success had its challenges, Miller told the 200 attendees at an all-day business conference at Castleton State College on Monday.
Miller was one of a number of speakers and workshops that focused on practices to help new businesses and budding entrepreneurs.
Rutland business leaders started off the Grow Your Business Over-Easy seminar with a pitch on why the city and the area is an ideal place to do business, including the citys pro-business attitude, workforce and transportation infrastructure.
They pointed to a series of recent positive developments anchored by Green Mountain Powers new Energy Innovation Center in the heart of the downtown.
Brennan Duffy, executive director of the Rutland Redevelopment Authority, gave a short PowerPoint presentation ticking off a list of what the city has to offer.
Strategic location, lower cost real estate, a strong workforce, robust infrastructure, business friendly environment and a great quality of life, Duffy said.
He said there are financial incentives available including commercial and industrial tax stabilization.
In terms of job growth, Duffy said while the county has lost jobs in the last decade the city has experienced 4 percent job growth. Thats a positive sign for the city, he said.
In discussing the Vermont economy, Miller said income improvement has not kept pace with the cost of living. That needs to change, he said. We need better wages, we need better income, we need it across the spectrum.
Miller said the problem is that while companies are more productive, those companies are doing it with fewer workers.
So what do we need, we need more firms, he said. How do we get more firms, we need more entrepreneurs and thats what a day like this is all about.
The seminar also featured nuts and bolts topics.
Stuart Meyer, a lawyer with Fenwick & West, explained the importance of protecting intellectual property (patents, trademark, copyright).
Robert Buzzell, a Rutland certified public accountant, gave a primer on using EBITA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) as one method in assessing the value of a business and comparing it to other businesses.
For the budding entrepreneur, KiKi McShane of Chris Fucci Associates, warned that any new business will experience growing pains and will need to adapt to uncertainties as they come along.
The key, McShane said, is managing change and conflict toward a positive outcome.
Entrepreneurial means take risks, be future oriented and deal with conflict because conflict is creative, she said.
Miller gave an example of how he adapted to the enviable problem of Otter Creek Brewing having an abundance of orders.
It was flying, really flying, Miller recalled. Growth was very high, couldnt make enough product.
That concerned his distributor, Baker Distributing of Rutland. Miller said Joe Baker paid him a visit to the Middlebury brewery and gave him some valuable advice. Over the years, he said Baker continued to take the time to guide him as he grew the business.
Miller said seeking sound advice is critical to the success of any business, especially when the unexpected happens.
Those are both professional advisers and board of advisers, your mentors, people you can call, he said. You cant always call your professional advisers at 10clock at night.
The afternoon was devoted to specific workshops on agriculture and specialty food products, high tech industries and energy. Moderators included Mary Powell, president and CEO of Green Mountain Power; Cairn Cross, co-founder and managing director of FreshTracks Capital; and Jim Harrison, president of Vermont Grocers Association.
The conference held in Glenbrook Gym, gave Castleton State College President David Wolk the opportunity to talk about the schools entrepreneurial approach to its operations to remain competitive with other schools.
Although were a public college, we have the lowest percentage of state assistance in the country at 9 percent, next year it will be 8 percent, Wolk said. And thats not a complaint, thats not whining, thats just what it is.
He said the college has been successful in its ability to expand over the last decade with campus improvements approaching $73 million.
The conference was organized by Chris Fucci Associates.

While the Enterprise searches for the rare cure to a deadly disease, the landing party is confronted by a reclusive man who is willing to kill to preserve his privacy.
Its crew suffering from the deadly Rigelian fever, the USS Enterprise pays an emergency call on a supposedly barren planet, Holberg 917G, to gather ryetalyn, a rare element that is the key ingredient of the antidote. Beaming down to the planet, Kirk, McCoy, and Spock are attacked by a hovering robot. An old man, Flint, arrives to halt the robot's attack, but insists that the landing party leave at once.
Act OneEdit
Kirk asks Flint to reconsider but Flint still refuses. As a result, Kirk orders the Enterprise to lock phasers onto their coordinates. When the situation seems completely hopeless, Flint gives Kirk two hours to obtain the ryetalyn. Flint orders M-4, the robot, to gather the ryetalyn. In the meantime, Flint invites the landing party to his impressive home.
At Flint's home, the landing party find what appears to be authentic but undiscovered specimens of Earth art, such as a score by Brahms and paintings by Leonardo da Vinci. They also come across a Gutenberg Bible and several works of Reginald Pollack. When M-4 returns with the ryetalyn, Kirk prepares to beam back up to the ship but ultimately accepts Flint's offer to process the rare element. It was at this time that Flint introduces his beautiful, highly intelligent, but ultimately enigmatic ward named Rayna.
Act TwoEdit
Flint seems to encourage encounters between Kirk and Rayna but exhibits sufficient jealousy to lead him to nearly kill Kirk.
As Kirk (who is falling in love with Rayna) and Spock ponder the paradox, McCoy comes back with the report that the ryetalyn contains irillium in quantities sufficient to render the antidote useless.
Act ThreeEdit
As more ryetalyn is gathered, Kirk and Spock realize Flint wishes them to linger for reasons unknown, to the point of hiding the processed ryetalyn. In their search for the antidote, they enter a room containing earlier versions of Rayna; she is an android.
Act FourEdit
Flint then arrives and reveals his other secret; he is an ancient immortal, born more than three millennia before Christ. Over the course of his long lifetime, Flint has taken on many names, such as Brahms and da Vinci. Eventually, he acquired enough wealth to purchase Holberg 917G and work on a perfect, ultimate – and equally immortal – woman. Kirk had provided the final step in her creation, stirring her emotions to life. Now, Flint prepares to put Kirk and the Enterprise in suspension for a thousand years or more, as Rayna's emotions turn to him. Despite Flint's intent to keep her creation a secret, Rayna enters the room and learns the truth, forcing Flint to release the ship.
Flint and Kirk fight over Rayna, stopped only by the emergence of Rayna's emotions. However, her new feelings and suddenly having to choose between Flint and Kirk overwhelm her, and she dies. Back aboard ship, the plague is stopped and Kirk finally falls asleep after ruefully reflecting on what had happened. McCoy enters and informs Spock that the full tricorder readings on Flint indicate he is aging and will eventually die. By leaving Earth, he had sacrificed his immortality. After commenting about love and Spock's eschewing of that emotion, the doctor looks at Kirk and wishes he could forget Rayna. As McCoy leaves, Spock moves over to his sleeping captain, places one hand on Kirk's temple, and whispers, "Forget".
Log entriesEdit
- "Captain's log, stardate 5843.7. The Enterprise is in the grip of a raging epidemic. Three crewmen have died and twenty-three others have been struck down by Rigelian fever. In order to combat the illness, Dr. McCoy needs large quantities of ryetalyn, which is the only known antidote for the fever. Our sensors have picked up sufficient quantities of pure ryetalyn on a small planet in the Omega system. We are beaming down to secure this urgently needed material."
- "Captain's log, stardate 5843.75. Have I committed a grave error in accepting Flint's word that he would deliver the antidote to us? The precious time I have let pass may result in disaster for the Enterprise and her crew."
- "Captain's log, stardate 5843.8. We have accomplished our mission and have the ryetalyn ready to combat the epidemic aboard the Enterprise. But we have also discovered our benefactor's secret. He has created the perfect woman. Her only flaw... she's not Human."

Background informationEdit
Production timelineEdit
- Revised story outline by Jerome Bixby, 2 September 1968
- Story outline, 6 September 1968
- Story outline, 2 October 1968
- First draft teleplay, 4 November 1968
- Teleplay, 18 November 1968
- Filmed, 2 December 1968 – 9 December 1968
- Original airdate, 14 February 1969
- Rerun airdate, 2 September 1969
- First UK airdate, 30 December 1970
- This episode's title is a dual allusion: first to a ritualistic liturgy of Roman Catholicism (and other related religions), the "Requiem" being a Mass for the dead, and second to Methuselah, son of the Biblical prophet Enoch and paternal grandfather to Noah, who was the longest-lived Human being in the Bible (in Genesis 5:21-27) having lived 969 years; nearly existing for a millennium, Methuselah's lifespan has historically become a proverbial reference for longevity.
- In a story outline (dated 2 October 1968) the 8,000-year-old Flint was also Johannes Brahms. Spock enabled Kirk to forget Rayna by using mental suggestion from a distance, while Kirk was in his cabin and Spock was on the bridge. In the final scene in the episode, Spock causes Kirk to forget but not from a distance, but by touching his head and telling him to forget.
- An element from Bixby's story – that of an immortal man who became several of Earth's historical figures – was mirrored in his final screenplay, which became the film The Man from Earth. [1]
- Flint's statement that that he was, among other past historical figures, Lazarus, is evidently an attempt to offer an alternate explanation for what the New Testament records as the resurrection of Lazarus from the dead by Jesus of Nazareth (John 11). Jesus is actually recorded as having performed three resurrections in the New Testament (as well as claim the power for his own future resurrection), but Lazarus' is the most famous because it is the longest account and the other two are performed on individuals who are not given specific names.
- Kirk's second log entry has a stardate with two decimal numbers. This is only episode in The Original Series that used this stardate format.
Production Edit
- The Brahms paraphrase that Spock plays was written especially for this episode by Ivan Ditmars.
- The TOS Season 3 DVD release incorrectly spells Rayna's name "Reena" in the end credits. Her name is shown in the episode very clearly as "Rayna" during the reveal of the multiple versions of the android. The correct spelling could be seen in the end credits on the earlier LaserDisc and VHS releases, and was later restored for the TOS-R Season 3 DVD collection.
- In the third season blooper reel, there is a shot of the M-4 on its dolly mount, being wheeled toward William Shatner by its operator. There is also a clip of Leonard Nimoy rocking his head sarcastically while "fill-in" elevator music plays during the scene where Spock plays Brahm's waltz for Kirk and Rayna. Ivan Ditmars' performance was dubbed in later.
- This episode apparently had a scene deleted which contained an appearance by John Buonomo as an orderly.
- According to clapperboards, the director of photography for at least part of this episode was cameraman John Finger, who was the usual director of photography on fellow Desilu show Gomer Pyle, USMC, and went uncredited for his work here. It is unknown whether Al Francis (whose name appears in the end credits) shot any of the episode, and why Finger had to step in for part of the shoot. [2]
Cast Edit
- When cast for this episode, Louise Sorel, a theater actress, did not take Star Trek all that seriously. "They put me in this funny costume – I stood still and they just wrapped fabric around me – and I had an Annette Funicello bouffant and Dusty Springfield eye make-up. James Daly and I thought of ourselves as these two very serious theater actors and we kept looking at each other, 'Why on Earth are we doing this?' Eventually, we just started saying, 'Christmas money, Christmas money, Christmas money.'" Overall, however, Sorel remembered the episode as "really very sweet. I loved working with Shatner. We had played lovers once before. In the story, Flint forgot to give Rayna the tools to survive emotionally, and – when he and Kirk started fighting over her – she couldn't bear the pain. It was really very touching." (Star Trek 30 Years, pg. 77)
Sets and props Edit
- Flint's castle is reused matte painting of the Rigel VII fortress from "The Cage". The Rigel VII fortress image was replaced by a CGI image of a completely different fortress in the remastered version.
- Flint's viewscreen appears to be the Beta III lighting panel seen in "The Return of the Archons". It is also similar to the one seen in "Where No Man Has Gone Before".
- This episode includes the newest footage of the Enterprise seen since "Mirror, Mirror", utilizing the three-foot model built to demonstrate the Enterprise shape in 1964.
- Captain Kirk peers into the bridge of the Enterprise through the viewscreen, much like Q does when Quinn shrinks the USS Voyager to the size of a Christmas ornament in VOY: "Death Wish".
- Some of the furnishings in Flint's castle are recognizably recycled from previous episodes. Spock sits in the ornate chair used by Korob and Sylvia in "Catspaw". In the outer room of Flint's laboratory, just in front of the vertical grill, is the female Romulan commander's "communications box" from "The Enterprise Incident". In the same room, the back walls are lined with the consoles from the Elba II control room in "Whom Gods Destroy".
- The undercarriage of Flint's robot, M-4, is a reused portion from the upper carriage of Nomad from "The Changeling".
Continuity Edit
- This episode is referenced in Star Trek: Voyager's fourth season episode "Concerning Flight", in which Captain Kathryn Janeway mentions that Captain Kirk claimed to have met Leonardo da Vinci. This would leave one to conclude that Spock's mind touch at the end of the episode only erased Kirk's memory of Rayna, and not necessarily the whole encounter.
- Whereas Spock uses the mind meld at the end of the episode and tells Kirk, "Forget", in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan he uses the technique on McCoy and tells him, "Remember".
- Doctor Mccoy states that alcohol easily makes Vulcans drunken. This is contradictory to his reply to Kirks question about how well Spock would handle whiskey in Star Trek V: The Final Frontier, in that instance he predicts alcohol would have little effects on Spock, due to his vulcan metabolism. It seems yet possible McCoy was merely teasing Spock in this episode, as Spock himself was in the film more concerned about his human half.
- In TNG: "The Offspring" Lal, the android created by Lt. Cmr. Data, also died after experiencing and being overwhelmed by love.

Coveted Cover1 of 14
There's something about the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue that can make an up-and-coming model into a household name or catapult an already successful model to superstardom. From Heidi to Tyra, we're taking a look back at our favorite cover subjects and how the issue changed their careers.
Bar Refaeli2 of 14
In 2007, model Bar Refaeli became the first Israeli to appear in the Swimsuit issue, before becoming the magazine's cover girl the following year. Allegedly, Bar told friends, "They tell you that you better not go on a diet before the shoot. And they just let you eat all the time."
Yamila Diaz-Rahi3 of 14
The Argentinean beauty Yamila Diaz-Rahi was featured on the "Red Hot in Latin America" 2002 cover of SI and then again on the 2006 group "All Star" cover. 2001's cover introduced her as "Red Hot," and her red bikini was accented with silver and coral jewelry for a Latin-American style vibe.
Beyoncé Knowles4 of 14
The stunning singer Beyoncé Knowles shocked subscribers in 2007 as the first non-model/non-athlete to pose for the cover of the SI Swimsuit issue. Her sporty metallic bikini would have showed off her curves just as well on stage as it did on the closed set in Key Biscayne, Florida.
Brooklyn Decker5 of 14
After years of gracing the magazine's pages, the athletic and golden-blonde model Brooklyn Decker made her Sports Illustrated cover debut in 2010, looking laid back in little more than a bikini bottom and a peace sign. The NY Daily News reported that as soon as the cover was announced, Brooklyn tweeted, "THANK YOU EVERYONE!!! I wish I could respond to every single one of you but thank you so much for your AMAZINGLY sweet tweets!"
Heidi Klum6 of 14
While Heidi Klum may now be an internationally recognized fashion model, a Victoria's Secret Angel and host of the television show Project Runway, it was her 1998 sexy-girl-next-door SI cover debut that made the style icon a household name. The voluptuous model is known for her killer body, but she told People magazine that year, "My smile is my favorite thing."
Petra Nemcova7 of 14
Petra Nemcova appeared in the Swimsuit issue from 2002-2006 and was featured on the magazine's cover in 2004. Yet this model's beauty is not just skin-deep, having become an active philanthropist after surviving the 2004 tsunami in Thailand that took the life of her fiancé, photographer Simon Atlee.
Rebecca Romijn8 of 14
The model-turned-actress Rebecca Romijn flaunted her athletic beach body in a barely there silver mesh bikini on the cover of SI in 1999 before turning her attention to the big screen.
Elle Macpherson9 of 14
Having already become an internationally recognized model whose work in the fashion industry continues to this day, Elle Macpherson cemented her status as one of the 1980s famed "Supermodels" when she was chosen for the SI Swimsuit cover a record five times over three decades beginning in 1986. Elle's 1988 cover featured a leather one-piece with a plunging neckline: a style worth of a serious '80s sex symbol.
Tyra Banks10 of 14
After posing with Valeria Mazza for the cover in 1996, Tyra Banks, an already illustrious fashion model and the first African-American woman to appear on the cover of SI, had her first solo Sports Illustrated spotlight in 1997. The model has infamously said that, "Black women don't have the same body image problems as white women. They are proud of their bodies."
Rachel Hunter11 of 14
In 1994, Rachel Hunter appeared pregnant on the Sports Illustrated cover along with Kathy Ireland and an also-pregnant Elle Macpherson. The models were famously dubbed as the issue's "Dream Team," and all three wore simple, black string bikinis.
Daniela Pestova12 of 14
Daniela Pestova has graced the SI cover three times, beginning in 1995, and was nicknamed "The Chameleon" because of her ever-evolving look. In 1995 it was a striped T-shirt in an ode to '90s minimalism; 2000's cover featured the blond model in a string of beads, capturing the bohemian chic style that was everywhere. And in 2006 she sported a one-piece with cut-outs that was emblematic of a more modern style.
Christie Brinkley & Cheryl Tiegs13 of 14
Christie Brinkley's all-American look led to three consecutive SI Swimsuit covers beginning in 1979, when she posed in a disco-worthy sequin-embellished suit. Cheryl Tiegs also posed for three covers, beginning in 1970, and became one of the decade's style icons.
Carolyn Murphy14 of 14
In 2005 a fresh-faced Carolyn Murphy appeared on the SI Swimsuit cover. With an exclusive Estée Lauder contract and plenty of face time in Vogue, it's clear why she was again chosen for the widely publicized 2006 "All Star" SI cover. Although she reportedly once said, "I never thought I'd make the pages of Sports Illustrated, because I've always been skinny. But after I had my daughter, I had hips."

Custom Reusable Grocery Bags
Sort By:
Save the grocery bag, save the world with custom reusable bags"It's a minute away from snowing and there's this electricity in the air; you can almost hear it," the boy says. "And this bag was just dancing with me." I mean, what a precious moment from the film, "American Beauty," right? This kid can barely keep it together because he's so moved by this plastic bag, pirouetting on the breeze.
Problem is, Mother Earth did not applaud the performance, because plastic bags are just bad for the environment. You, however, can create many beautiful moments, help Planet Earth, and boost your brand  all with custom reusable bags from Pinnacle Promotions.
Print your logo and company name on reusable grocery bags, and you can help your employees and your customers carry their stuff while helping them to help the planet.

Many other cities charge a fee for their use.
So you can do a good thing for the environment, comply with the law, and send a strong message about your brand and your business  all by giving out custom reusable bags from Pinnacle Promotions.
The practical uses for custom reusable bags are almost endless  grocery runs, picnics, beach trips, you name it  ensuring your brand receives almost endless mileage and exposure.

- Title
- Pharmacological properties of guggulsterones, the major active components of gum guggul
- Author(s)
- Shah, Rohan; Gulati, Vandana; Palombo, Enzo A.
- Abstract
- Oleo gum resin secreted by Commiphora mukul, also known as gum guggul, has been used widely as an ayurvedic drug. Commiphora mukul is a short thorny shrub that is native to the Indian subcontinent. Oleo gum resin extracted by incision of the bark is a very complex mixture of gum, minerals, essential oils, terpenes, sterols, ferrulates, flavanones and sterones. Its active constituents, the Z- and E-guggulsterones, have been demonstrated to exhibit their biological activities by binding to nuclear receptors and modulating the expression of proteins involved in carcinogenic activities. Guggulsterones have also been reported to regulate gene expression by exhibiting control over other molecular targets including transcription factors such as nuclear factor (NF)-κB, signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) and steroid receptors. Considerable scientific evidence indicates the use of gum guggul as a therapeutic agent in the treatment of inflammation, nervous disorders, hyperlipidaemia and associated cardiac disorders such as hypertension and ischaemia, skin disorders, cancer and urinary disorders. This review highlights the taxonomic details, phytochemical properties and pharmacological profile of gum guggul.

Officials break ground for 'game-changing' library
Posted on September 21, 2010
Grand Valley and community leaders symbolically broke ground September 21 for a new library that speakers called both a "game changer" and the "intellectual heart of campus."
A crowd of about 400 gathered to watch President Thomas J. Haas, Provost Gayle R. Davis and others turn shovels of dirt and celebrate the start of construction on the new Mary Idema Pew Library Learning and Information Commons.
Davis said it may be surprising to some that in this information age college students still need a library. "The more information we're exposed to, the more we need training to use it critically and use it well," she said. "When it opens, this library will symbolize the intellectual heart of campus."
Kate Pew Wolters, chair of Grand Valley's Board of Trustees, spoke on behalf of her family. The building is named for her mother. She engaged the audience with a story about Mary Idema Pew, who Wolters called a "rebel and a bit of a trailblazer."
Wolters also said supporting the library was important to her family and she is proud to have it named for her mother. "My father said this day is not about us, it's about Grand Valley. I agree with that, but it is also about my mom and the legacy she leaves," Wolters said.
The Pew Library will provide approximately 1,500 seats for student study, 20 group study rooms, and offices and support areas for faculty and staff members. There will be room for 150,000 books on open shelves and 600,000 books in an automated storage/retrieval system.
Dan DeVos, a co-chair of the Shaping Our Future campaign, drew laughter from the audience when he said the Pew Library will be quite unlike his college library. He added that as an employer, he understands the investment behind such a technologically advanced library as it will help Grand Valley graduate top students who are prepared to help rebuild West Michigan and the state.
DeVos also read a note from his father, Richard M. DeVos, who apologized for his absence at the ceremony that kicked off the start of constructing a library that will be a "game changer" and unique among university libraries.
Jim Brooks, also a co-chair of the Shaping Our Future campaign, stressed that fundraising for the building is not complete as $4.5 million is left to raise. "We're counting on continuing the generosity of alumni and others who have supported this campaign," he said.
Construction will begin in earnest this spring and the library is expected to be completed in 2013. Visit gvsu.edu/library/newbuilding to see design renderings, floor plans and to take a virtual tour of the library.

Track Work Calendar
You may have seen any one of 4,000 Metro Forward posters around our system. Now, a new wave of fresh information begins, this time brought to you by our employees. These posters feature employee teams who work on capital rebuilding projects that improve the service for our customers: escalator maintenance, station enhancement, bus rehabilitation, rail car maintenance and the major Red Line Improvement project.
This is all part of our effort to make sure you know the facts about the $5 billion being invested to rebuild Metro and improve safety and reliability to better serve our customers. We have underway an aggressive schedule of major construction that accelerates our work on key National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) safety recommendations by more than a year. Customers can see evidence of our progress on safety and service improvements around the system.
Red Line customers have seen repairs to the structural edges of platforms at Shady Grove and Rockville stations, where we are now installing new concrete pavers. We are also repairing the platform structures at White Flint and Twinbrook Stations. And on November 30 we opened the third of three new escalators at Foggy Bottom - the first new escalators we've installed on the system in 15 years. We also completed work on rehabilitated escalators from platforms up to the mezzanine levels at Union Station. That's in addition to the escalators we finished rehabilitating at Judiciary Square, Metro Center, Dupont Circle, and Farragut North.
Some of the less visible progress this year includes the replacement of 36 mainline No. 8 switches to address NTSB recommendations - with 91% completion, we are on target to complete the remaining No. 8 switches by the end of the fiscal year (June 2012). By the time we have finished, we will have completed the replacement of 178 No. 8 guarded switches throughout the system. And our work on the track is moving along, with the replacement of 11,731 cross ties, 62,723 linear feet of running rail, 20,745 fasteners, 8,849 insulators and 9,829 linear feet of grout pads, all to give you a safer, more reliable ride.
To get the latest information on our progress, please like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter for regular updates on our work to move Metro Forward and build a better ride for you.
Now You Know
Who knew? The Metro Forward improvement program is an ambitious 6-year action plan that is designed to make your life better by making your commuting experience more reliable, more comfortable and more enjoyable.
We are working to provide you with new rail cars, new buses, new tracks, new technology and the rebuilding of essential infrastructure. Just over the coming year we will be rehabilitating and replacing nearly 50 escalators; renovating 12 Metrorail stations; retrofitting track and replacing track circuitry; rehabilitating third rail, running rail and track pads; installing track turnouts; purchasing new police radios; rehabilitating three bus garages; replacing 100 Metrobuses and rehabilitating 100 more.
Metro Forward, providing you with a better ride, a better system and a better experience.
