It is within the rights of the servlet container, though, to destroy your servlet instance at any time it wants to, and create a new instance later when another request comes in. This is one of the reasons that application events were added to the Servlet 2.3 specification (supported by Tomcat 4.0). You can now register a class that receives notifications when the application is first started up, and when it is shut down. This is perfect for creating application-wide resources (such as a database connection pool) at startup time, and guaranteeing that those resources will be available through the life of the application. > > Thanks.

From staff and wire reports
WASHINGTON Discussions are "very much on track" for Hillary Rodham Clinton to become President-elect Barack Obama's secretary of State nominee, a Clinton spokesman said Friday as Obama's team moved ahead with work on his Cabinet.
Senior Clinton adviser Philippe Reines denied reports Friday that she had accepted the job offer. But officials in both camps told the Associated Press they have every reason to believe Obama will announce her as his choice shortly after Thanksgiving.
"We're still in discussions, which are very much on track. Any reports beyond that are premature," Reines said in a statement.
Said an official in the Clinton camp: "They're just talking about the state of the world and what's next." The official spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because neither Obama or Clinton are prepared to go public.
The report was one of several Friday involving Obama's potential Cabinet. The AP also reported:
• Obama is likely to name Timothy Geithner, president of the New York Federal Reserve, as Treasury Secretary in a time of intense economic turmoil as he rounds out the upper echelon of his Cabinet, according to a senior Democratic official familiar with the deliberations.
• New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, who also reportedly was under consideration for secretary of State, had emerged as a likely pick for Commerce secretary. Like Clinton, he was a rival of Obama's for the Democratic presidential nomination last winter. He dropped out after the early contests, though, and soon threw his support behind the eventual winner.
The Clinton saga was proving to be one of the longest-running and more public of the secrecy-shrouded search for an Obama Cabinet.
A week ago, the New York senator flew unannounced to Chicago to meet with the president-elect. That, according to the Associated Press, gave way to days of negotiations in which her husband, former President Bill Clinton, agreed to disclose the names of donors to his library and charitable foundation in anticipation of the close scrutiny her nomination would be sure to face.
It was not clear when Obama intended to make a formal announcement of any of his picks. He has largely stayed out of public view since his election on Nov. 4, preferring to work quietly in a suite of offices in downtown Chicago.
If nominated and confirmed by the Senate, Geithner, 47, would assume chief responsibility for tackling an economic slowdown and a credit crunch that threaten to create the deepest recession in more than a generation. The president of the New York federal reserve, he has played a key role in the government's response to the financial crisis and has worked closely with Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.
While speculation has been rampant about numerous Cabinet-level appointments, there has been relatively little about Obama's choice as Defense Secretary. His aides encouraged speculation before the election that Robert Gates, who now holds the position, would remain in office for an interim period.
Obama also has selected Eric Holder, a top Justice Department aide in the Clinton administration, as his attorney general.
The officials who discussed Obama's plans Friday with the Associated Press did so on condition of anonymity, saying they were not authorized to pre-empt any formal announcement.
Geithner held posts in the Treasury Department under three administrations and five secretaries before moving to the New York Fed in 2003. He also held positions at the International Monetary Fund and was employed at the private firm of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.
The Dow Jones industrials soared by nearly 500 points late in the day, a sharp rise that coincided with first reports of Geithner's possible appointment.
Obama has moved with unusual speed to select officials for his administration. And one Democrat said John Podesta, a leader of the transition team, had told Senate aides during the day that Obama hopes for speedy confirmation so the new administration can get to work quickly after Jan. 20.
Other Cabinet selections include former Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle of South Dakota as secretary of Health and Human Services, and Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
Napolitano was an early supporter of candidate Obama among the ranks of Democratic governors, as was Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas. Sebelius has figured prominently in recent days in speculation as possible secretary of labor.
Obama also is filling out the ranks of his White House staff. Late Friday, he named Patrick Gaspard as his political director. Gaspard was Obama's national political director during the general election campaign, and has long ties to labor.
Other appointments announced Friday included Jackie Norris as chief of staff to Michelle Obama; Catherine M. Russell as chief of staff to Vice President-elect Joe Biden's wife Jill; Cynthia Hogan as counsel to the vice president, and Moises V. Vela Jr. as director of administration for the vice president.

Ma Soror, La Luna
I apologize for the title. Stupid Google Translate wouldn't give me what I wanted (I don't trust it, anyways) and so what I have up there is a mix of French and Latin. The rough translation is "My Sister, The Moon".
Comments are appreciated!
My sister is a moon.
She shines, but she hides
That once in a while.
It's a shame, really,
Because what other people
See isn't what I do.
I see the girl that used to play
Board games with me while
Talking a mile a minute to
Frantically try to cover the
Sounds of my brother sobbing
In the bathroom, and my parents
Screaming at each other upstairs.
I see the girl who would sit with
Me, one earbud in her ear,
And the other in mine, while
We waited for the bus.
I see the girl who would read
Faery tales to me at night when
We were little. I see her crying
At night, and desperately trying to
Hide it. I see myself helping her
Through her first panic attack when
I was just a kid, not telling her that I
Was uncomfortably familiar with them.
But I also see the lion to my wolf.
Because lions are brave, they are
Proud and are tough as nails.
And I see myself, when I look
At her. I see the reflection of
A grey wolf in the moonlit waters.
I see myself howling and loping
Across the forest floor with surprising
Agility and grace. And so I see strength
And wisdom and a talent for words.
Because my sister may be a lion,
And I may be a wolf, but she is also
A moon, glowing brightly in the night sky,
And I am a rose, prickly to the first touch.
We come together, my sister and I,
And my brother has Mary Anne.
We were always there for him, but
She was his preferred choice.
Sometimes, though, I look at my
Sister, and see what other people do.
And that scares me, but I know (hope)
That it's only the dark side of the moon,
And it'll be full the next night.
But for now, I get to see my sister's
Smile, and hear her laughter, and I wonder,
How they can they not see her shining from miles away?
How can they not notice how she sparkles
In the sun, her eyes like diamonds?
And how can they possibly miss the way
She glows from the inside, radiating warmth
And safety? Sometimes I wonder how on
Earth she isn't a sun. And then I recall that
She was the one who took me out at midnight,
Unlocking the door and leading me out into
The yard, so that we could dance to the
Moon and stars. I loved that, dancing in the
Chilly night air with my sister, seeing her smiling
Softly all the way through, and I remember how
Breathless we were after, bursting into laughter
Between our panting. We sneaked back in after,
Even though I wanted nothing more than to
Sleep under the stars. When I was lying in bed that
Night, though, I was grinning from ear to ear. So yes,
A wolf slinks behind the moon when she walks,
But a lion also lies at the foot of the rose's bed,
Watching over her in her slumber.
And I come to the realization
That courage doesn't always roar.

I'm going on a snow trip this weekend and would like suggestions for hot drinks.
I don't drink coffee or tea and I really don't want to drink too much hot chocolate.
It's been recommended to me to try miso or broth, which would probably work.
I want something I can sip on all day out of a thermos.
Any suggestions would be great, thanks!Feb 11, 2010 at 6:34 pm #1572806

@tippymcstaggerLocale: North Texas
If you are really sipping it all day hot water is a good choice for your teeth. I'd drink an unflavored white tea from Todd and Holland (not that fruity-flavored grocery store junk).Feb 11, 2010 at 6:45 pm #1572807

@rosierabbitLocale: Pacific Northwest
In the winter I carry either a thermos of hot cranberry juice (just heat it up out of the big Costco jug), or hot apple cider (2 packets of Alpine brand dehydrated cider, reconstituted). Both are very satisfying.
As for the thermos, I've tried various insulating tricks that were lighter, but nothing so far has worked as well as an actual thermos.Feb 11, 2010 at 8:36 pm #1572848

@sarbarLocale: In the shadow of Mt. Rainier
For all day I drink herbal teas (like something fruity by Celestial Seasoning). That way I don't get overloaded on sugar.
Now though…what is also nice is chicken soup and similar. Warm with calories….you can always cheat and use Lipton packets.
When I do long snowshoeing trips I will sometimes carry the weight of a bullet style thermos along with my stove. That way I can make more drinks as I go!Feb 11, 2010 at 9:19 pm #1572862

@lori999Locale: Central Valley
I've added Emergen-C to hot water – not half bad. Sort of like real thin Jell-O. Which we used to drink hot as kids, and if you don't mind the sugar overload it's sort of like thick Tang, which is another one we liked as kids –
Dang, memory lane here.
Speaking of Tang, there's a recipe in Freezer Bag Cooking I've been meaning to try with Tang and ice tea mix as ingredients… a number of the backpacking recipe books have hot beverage mix recipes too. Might try to google for some.Feb 11, 2010 at 10:26 pm #1572887

@jdempseyLocale: The-Stateless-Society
double cranberry-pomegranate emergen-c with a bit of everclear added. It's good for the soul, but bad for the guts. If you need less warmth, but more sunshine, substitute tequila. Add hot sauce if you're a masochist like me!
P.S. F the weight, nothing will keep it hot all day in the winter except a glass vacuum sealed thermos.Feb 12, 2010 at 12:56 pm #1573067

"It's been recommended to me to try miso or broth, which would probably work."
Miso soup has worked really well for me. I should think a good rich chicken broth or something similar would also do the trick. Much depends on individual taste, but I find a savory, salty drink really hits the spot, taste-wise, and also helps replace at least the sodium component of the electrolytes lost when exercising strenuously.Feb 12, 2010 at 10:45 pm #1573259

Thanks for the tips everyone.
Ended with a pomegranate "tea" that stayed warm in the thermos all day and tasted good.
It wasn't cold enough in the daytime, next time I'll probably just sip on it at night.

The Big 5
1.) I am terrified..no petrified at the thought of becoming my mother. It sends me into fits. I live my life each day trying to never be like her, but somehow, we have the same anger issues. It really freaks me out, and I pray each night before going to bed that I'll never be like her. I fear my life would be ruined if I did.
2.) Imagine this happening: You're walking alone in the dark and you feel a presence watching you..following you. You look behind you, but nothing is there, so you quicken your pace. You still feel it and you know you can't do anything so you scream, "Go away!!" But nothing leaves. You break out in a run and imagine thoughts of people chasing you down and killing you. You become so paranoid that you can't function and you eventually pass out hyperventilating. That's what happens to me when I'm in the dark alone.
When I'm with even just one other person, I'm fine. In fact, I become naive and oblivious. Strange.
3.) Uncleanliness. It really bothers me when I come in someone's house or dorm room and things are strewed about and there are massive stains on the floor, and that putrid smell is coming from under the bed. I want to run and scream. I mean, when I'm frustrated, or angry, or even sad, I'll whip out my Chlorox bleach and bleach the tiles in the dorm, or I'll take a regular-sized kitchen sponge and scrub the floors, door, and walls. I've cleaned most of my friends' rooms last year. I nearly gassed myself out with the Chlorox....
4.) Being alone. This kind of goes with the first one. I'm a hopeless romantic at heart. I'll be the first to tell you that. I have so much love to give, and I'm afraid I won't be able to do that. I don't like to be smothered, but I also don't like to be alone. I used to be in pointless relationships during high school for this purpose. I've gotten a lot better about it, and I've found a great guy that adores me. (He's British, too. XD) Now, I'm just afraid he'll leave me like everyone else.
5.) Oooh, time to narrow to just one. I'm deathly afraid of horror movies. I'll be watching a movie, and something scary happens: ie someone gets killed, maimed, eaten, etc. My mother actually sat me down and forced me to watch "The Messengers." Yes, forced me. I get myself way too in the plot and think I'm in the movie, too, and these things will happen to me. After the movie is over, I'm frozen in fear.
Weird part of that: I'll be watching a movie in the dark at night and it's a comedy (I'm talking like Shallow Hal or Big Daddy, something funny) and the movie is over, I'm feeling good- until I have to get up. I get this prickly feeling all over me and I'm terrified to turn around to face the back window that leads to the patio in fear that someone broke in and is about to attack me. My hearing sense heightens to an abnormal level and I can't move until all the credits have rolled down...Then I force myself. I have to check all the rooms and turn all the lights on for awhile. (Maybe I should not read The Shining at night...I'll put it away now.)
There are a lot more, but those are the big 5.

Mark Twain (Plan)
For generous space and gracious style with a convenient first-floor owner's suite, look no further than Ryan Homes' Mark Twain!. The broad foyer gives a feeling of openness as you enter, with a study/sitting area to your right. Add the columns and tray ceiling to define the dining room and give a feeling of grandeur to the view from the entryway. A conveniently placed powder room and not one but two coat closets make entertaining a breeze. Past the columns, the rear of the home is designed with open-plan living in mind. The kitchen is truly the command center of the home and overlooks a generous dinette, lit by a bank of windows on the rear wall. The family room is open to them both so you never miss a minute with family or guests. Add the corner fireplace for cozy warmth. An optional covered porch or patio off the family room brings the outside in. A convenient laundry room leads to a mudroom off the garage with an optional arrival center so organization is a snap. The owner's wing is slightly set off the foyer for a feeling of privacy while still being close to hand. The owner's bedroom is large and inviting don't forget to add the tray ceiling and extra windows! The owner's bath... *Prices shown generally refer to the base house and do not include any optional features.

|Large format platen die-cutting machine in Eclipse Praha
|Friday, 14 November 2003 00:00
The The platen die-cutting machine with its 2 x 1.4 m maximum sheet size and a weight of 14 tons is doubtlessly the largest piece of equipment of its kind in the Czech Republic. This giant offers not only the largest sheet size, but also the highest precision and speed of die-cutting of all machines owned by Eclipse. Moreover, the reverse side of the die-cutting surface can be fitted with special tools, enabling the production of reverse-side and front-side folds in one single cutting motion.
Launching the regular operations of the cutting machine marks the completion of an entire production line for large-format POS, with size of parts up to 2 x B0, i.e. 1400 x 2000 mm. A good example of the output is the Zubr brewery job. First, two metres large carton sheets are printed on a four-colour automatic Svecia SAMX 4 machine. The next step is pasting the sheets on corrugated cardboard, on the Lamina adhesive laminating machine. A thorough drying process follows, taking up to two days, this time is used to print and paste the other parts of the POS set. The cutting itself comes next. The entire production process takes less then three days for a single-component stand, and a complicated multi-part display must be on its way to the customer within one week.
The outer dimensions of the Zubr decorative euro-palette stand are 0.85 x 1.3 x 2.4 m. The display is made of BB corrugated cardboard with carton pasted on both sides, with a surface protected by UV resistant varnish. Thanks to the materials used it is light, firm and easy to handle despite its large size. The surface treatment provides protection against damage and wear. It is distributed flat, the two side components are mounted to the back component at the point of final display in a shop, using a few plastic screws.

Pat Patterson recently spoke with WWE.com about the Royal Rumble's origins. Patterson told the site that Vince McMahon wasn't originally excited about the idea, noting, "I used to talk to Vince about the Royal Rumble idea, even though I didn't call it by that name, and Vince couldn't visualize that. He'd say, 'Oh my god, it's too long. My god, all 20 guys, that's going to take forever.'"
Patterson said he pitched it to NBC executive Dick Ebersol, recalling, "I described what the concept would be and Dick Ebersol went crazy," he said. "He loved it. He said, 'That would be so great for live television. Every two minutes another wrestler comes running in and you don't know who it is until you hear the buzzer!' So Vince went, 'You're on your own. You're going to have to do it yourself. You're going to have to produce it.' Holy crap. It sounded good in my head, but to put it together was another story."

Steve chafed in the suit. He knew the clothes he normally wore were considered stuffy to the rest of the team, but at least they were comfortable. This three piece monstrosity was supposed to be fancy and flattering and all the things Tony wanted him to be, but instead he was just out of his element, flash in all the wrong ways. It was too tight, too hot, too slick. He was going to kill Tony Stark for making him wear it.
It heartened him a little to see just about everybody else looking about as uncomfortable. Bruce kept tugging at his collar and grimacing. Thor had flat out refused all manner of Earth dress attire, claiming his finery was much more elegant. Even Clint was fidgeting in his suit. Tony and Natasha were the only people who looked truly comfortable in the dress clothes.
"Alright, that's it. If we have to do this stupid award thing, I'm going to be comfortable while doing it." Clint said, pulling off his tie. He turned and walked towards the elevator that would take him back upstairs, back to the bedrooms where their own clothes were.
"The mayor and reporters will be here any minute! Where are you going?" Tony called after him. Clint flipped up his middle finger but gave no other sign of listening. Steve took a few steps backwards.
"Rogers, don't you dare follow him!" Tony warned, pointing his finger. Steve shot him an apologetic shrug before trotting after the other man. Bruce was hot on his heels.
Clint was right. If they had to sit for the press, they could at least be in their own clothes, Tony's fashion sense be damned.
"Oh my god that was grueling." Bruce sighed as he collapsed into a chair in the kitchen. The others followed him, dragging and whining and dramatically sighing. It hadn't gone well. Probably would never go well. Not everybody was meant to answer questions on the spot. And they definitely weren't all political enough to deal with state officials.
"I hate the press." Clint mumbled, falling hard into the chair next to Bruce. Natasha smiled indulgently.
"It wasn't so bad."
"I don't talk to people. That's your job," he said.
"Your Earth commoners are very inquisitive." Steve realized they probably should have explained the reporters to Thor before the press conference. They could try again for the next one. If there would be a next one. Steve kind of hoped the debacle that was this press round was the last they'd have to go through.
"Hey, at least we got an award. It's all shiny! I can put it in the trophy case." Tony was still in his suit, handing out glasses of fine scotch as if that whole afternoon was routine. Steve took one, even though the alcohol couldn't affect him, and noticed with interest that Clint turned it down. He got himself a glass of water instead. Natasha side eyed him and they argued silently for a minute before she backed down. Clint didn't drink and Clint didn't back down, not even to Natasha. Steve filed that tidbit away for later.
"We should not have accepted. My position stands, Tony." Thor crossed his arms and glared at the other man after downing his drink in one swallow.
"Awards are nice. I like them. I'm not giving it back."
"We should not rejoice in the victory over Loki. Many people lost their lives."
Steve sat down next to Bruce. This argument had started hours ago and the press was already running with it. He really didn't want to hear it again. Bruce grimaced next to him and tipped his drink back. Natasha pinched the bridge of her nose and sat down in another chair, forming a small circle with the group. Clint took a great interest in the fine crystal of his water glass. The four of them remained silent, hoping the fight would end soon.
"We saved a lot more than we lost. I propose a toast. To beating the bad guys." Tony held up his glass. Steve and Bruce followed suit, but nobody else seemed particularly eager to take part.
"Your 'bad guy' is my brother. My family mourns his actions. As should yours."
"He isn't really your family though, is he?" Steve tensed, hoping against hope Tony didn't mean what he said with that comment. "And in my family, we learn from our losses and celebrate our victories. Celebrate being the big thing."
"I will not disown Loki for his actions. He is still my kin." Anger flashed in Thor's eyes. Tony was undeterred.
"Not asking you to disown the guy. Just take a little pride in what you did." Tony didn't get it.
"I will not rejoice in his downfall. He is my brother."
"He's adopted, though, right? So he's not really your brother. It isn't like he's real family." A glass shattered against the wall leading to the dining room, expertly missing both the portrait of Howard Stark and Pepper's prized Warhol piece. The fine crystal crumbled and slid down, scattering tiny shards of glass everywhere.
The argument stopped, briefly, as all but Natasha turned in surprise to stare at Clint. He had overturned his chair. His muscles were taught with uncontained rage. He didn't say a word, just stormed out of the room, chest heaving and fists held stiffly at his side. Natasha stared at her hands and shifted uncomfortably, but she did not follow. Steve tried to catch her eye but she wouldn't look at anybody. He got up and followed Clint. Somebody had to go after him, to make sure he was okay. If she wouldn't go, he would.
"We were raised together. Lived and loved and fought and learned. He may not be my blood, but he will always be my brother." Thor and Tony continued their argument as Steve walked out. Steve knew Tony didn't understand the ramifications. Still, he was glad it was Thor explaining it and not him. He was angry enough.
He wandered the hallways aimlessly for about five minutes, not entirely sure where to check. Clint's bedroom was empty. As was Natasha's. He was thinking of heading to the armory when Bruce stopped him outside of the training room.
"Check the roof," he said.
Steve found him just where Bruce said he would be. Clint was sitting on the uppermost ledge, legs dangling over the side and hands braced against the rough concrete. The height of it all terrified Steve, but he climbed the maintenance ladder, crawled along the edge, and sat down, his back against the wall just below Clint. It wasn't too bad if he couldn't see exactly how high up they were.
They were quiet for several minutes, each one stretching on longer than the last. He wanted desperately to speak but time had taught him it was best to wait when it came to Clint Barton.
Clint slid off the wall and sat heavily next to Steve. He rested his elbows on his knees and looked down at the roof. Steve mimicked his position.
"He had no right to say those things about Loki," he said. Steve honestly wasn't sure which he Clint was talking about. He waited. "Just because he's adopted doesn't mean he isn't family."
"Of all of us, I wouldn't have expected you to be the one to defend Loki."
"Not defending Loki. Just agreeing with Thor." Steve knew there was more to it. There was something deeper bothering him. Clint never reacted like that to anybody, not for anything.
He waited. He picked up an errant pigeon feather and played with the soft down. They just sat. After a few minutes, Clint moved a little closer and took the feather from his hands. He held it up and let the wind catch it and carry it away.
"I spent some time in an orphanage, y'know. Just a couple of years before we just ran away from it all, but we spent all that time just wishing somebody would adopt us, me and my brother. That we would belong to somebody. That somebody would want us. But nobody ever did." It was the most Steve had ever heard out of Clint, and certainly more personal than he had expected.
"I grew up in an orphanage. Over in Brooklyn. It's not there anymore." Steve hadn't ever purposely kept that from anybody, but he couldn't exactly recall sharing the information with them either. "I don't have a brother, though."
"Neither do I; not anymore." Steve wanted to ask what had happened but he knew better. He'd learn about it when Clint was ready for him to and not a moment sooner.
"It was a nice orphanage. They were good to me there. Never got adopted, either." He was quiet for a minute, trying to decide how much to share. Clint didn't say anything, so he plowed on ahead. "I never met my father. I don't remember much of my mother. The orphanage… I think I was about five? Six maybe? It's all I can really remember at this point. I was too little… before." Clint laughed, just one stuttering sound that could have been a cry. Except Clint Barton never cried. Not in front of people like Steve.
"I remember my birth parents." It wasn't a good memory, Steve could tell, and he didn't push it. They fell quiet again. Steve sorted and filed and assessed the little bit of information he'd just learned.
"I never even had the chance at an orphanage." Natasha spoke, startling Steve out of his reverie. She'd changed from the slinky dress to more comfortable jeans and a t-shirt, the clothes he'd grown accustomed to seeing her in. She sat down heavily, weary, and rested her head on Clint's shoulder. He pushed against her, planted a kiss to the top of her head, and then leaned back against the concrete.
Clint remained quiet, but his posture shifted ever so slightly when Natasha took his hand in hers and twined their fingers together. He melted into her and held on for dear life. Steve wished he had somebody he could be with like that. She sighed and spoke, staring intently at their interlocked hands as if they held all the answers in the universe.
"My parents died in a fire when I was very little. I was pulled from the flames by a man who worked for a government program designed to spit out assassins. The person I was died in that fire. Sometimes I wish I knew who she would have grown up to be." Steve knew she wasn't sharing that information for Clint's benefit. Clint already knew. He nodded his thanks, and she returned it.
"Yeah, we had a chance at a family at least. People who wanted us. Could have been great." Steve said.
"A mother who would bake cupcakes after school." Clint suggested.
"A father to play ball with." Steve added.
"Somebody who'd kiss a scrape and make it better." Clint's voice cracked.
"Somebody to take care of us when we were sick… a cool hand, a backrub, whatever we needed." Steve had vague memories of his mother actually doing that for him. It was one of the things he had missed the most.
"Somebody to sing us to sleep at night when we had bad dreams." Natasha sighed wistfully.
They fell into a companionable silence. Clint relaxed, bit by bit, with Natasha sitting there. She used her free hand to play little finger games on his knuckles, to trace the scars on his arm, and eventually she slid away from him just enough to reach up and kiss him softly on the cheek. He turned and rested his forehead against hers and whispered something Steve couldn't hear. Probably in a language Steve couldn't understand either.
"I'll let the expert take over," Steve cleared his throat and started to get up, suddenly thrust out of his sense of belonging. Clint's hand on his arm stopped him. He sat back down when Clint tugged, just a little, just enough to get the message across.
"Stay," he said. So he did.
Tony never really got it, Steve knew. It had taken Pepper an angry phone call to get the point across, and he had apologized, but Steve could tell. Tony didn't truly understand, but then Tony didn't really know 'family' in the traditional sense either. They all had family issues, but Steve and Clint and Thor, they were coming at it from a completely different place than Tony and Bruce. And Natasha, she got it, but her trauma was so different she couldn't even compare.
So in an attempt to keep the peace, they set up movie night. It was clear Tony was extending the olive branch when he suggested they watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Clint loved the fellowship, the loyalty. And the archery. Steve loved the underlying message, the comparison to the war he'd just left. Thor liked the fantasy. And it was rife with references for Tony to use for years to come.
It was just so long. And they were all so tired already. The music was so relaxing and the voices of the actors so soothing. The room was warm and quiet and dark and nobody meant to fall asleep, not really, but it just… happened.
He jerked awake, again, and glanced around him. Bruce was still attempting to appear sitting up in the corner of the other couch, his arms stretched out beside him along the back, but his head had fallen back and he wheezed with each exhale.
Clint was propped against Bruce with one leg on the arm of the couch and the other braced on the floor. His face was turned into the pillows, any pretense of paying attention long ago dropped.
Natasha was curled on top of him, making him her living body pillow, with her ear pressed against his chest and her curls in his face. She was making soft snuffling noises in her sleep and occasionally her muscles twitched and her body jerked.
Thor was somewhere on the floor, but Steve didn't want to move enough to find out where. He was far too comfortable, although he wasn't sure when Tony's knees had ended up in his face. He just couldn't bring himself to care.
The movie kept going, Frodo and Sam getting lost while trudging their way towards Mordor, and he was just drifting back to sleep when the sound cut off. He opened his eyes to see Clint with the remote in hand. He caught the other man's eyes and Clint lifted a finger to his lips.
With the hum of the video now gone, Steve was able to decipher the snuffling sounds Natasha made. They were whimpers and her face was contorted in fear. He'd never seen her scared and it was unsettling. Steve saw her begin to shake. So this was a nightmare. His usually ended up in cold sweats and screaming. Clint dropped the remote and wrapped his arms around her tightly, singing softly into the deep red of her hair.
"But my dreams
They aren't as empty
As my conscience seems to be.
I have hours, only lonely.
My love is vengeance
That's never free."
Steve had never heard Clint sing. Didn't know he even could. His voice was quiet, deep and rough, but beautiful.
He'd stopped after just that bit of chorus, but it was enough to bring Bruce blinking out of sleep. He glanced at the two against him and his hand came down to rest on Natasha's head. He shifted a little, giving Clint some more breathing room, and rested his head on the couch pillows.
The knees in Steve's face fell abruptly and he looked over to see that Tony had woken up as well. He was just watching the other couch, taking in the scene, and in the process had turned to his side and lowered his legs. Steve rested an arm on Tony's thighs, pinning him there. He was warm. He didn't want Tony to move.
He was going to ask Clint to keep going, wanted to hear the rest of the song, but Natasha beat him to it. She didn't move, never opened her eyes, but she was awake.
"Whole song, neshama sheli," she mumbled. Clint chuckled and complied, the unconventional lullaby leading them all back to a more restful sleep.
It wasn't cookies and it wasn't a ball game. It wasn't the cool hand on a fevered brow or a kiss to make it all better. But it was all they had. The comfort they needed. And it was the best lullaby he could have asked for.

Let's Ask Google!
We've talked a lot about the trouble with content theft, duplicate content and Google's penalties for non-original content…
So the question gets asked… "
"When I change domains, how long should I leave the redirects in place?"
"If I get a new domain and want to 301 redirect www.old-domain.com to www.new-domain.com, how long do I have to keep the redirect up before I can start using the old domain for something else? Just until it has been crawled once? Jacob, Denmark"
Matt Cutts, Google's SEO expert weighs in on our options….
That said… It's important to note that while that does handle the 301s, it does not make all of the backlinks that are "out there" stay pointing to the new domain if you take the 301 redirect away.
For example currently my original domain kimberly-castleberry.com redirects to just-ask-kim.com and has done so for about nine months. The reason I hesitate to take the domain into another use (and remove the 301 is that the original domain has about a thousand backlinks that will no longer be passed to the current domain and "losing" that link juice for just-ask-kim.com will likely negatively impact my Page Rank and SEO/SERP.
It took me over half a year to recover form several weeks of migration to the new domain with 301s that were not originally correctly set up. Even though I had them they were not working right, and as such both domains took a penalty and it was all sorts of mess and my page rank fell to zero for both. I'm glad it's starting to recover and so for now I will not be removing that domain just yet!
Hope you enjoyed this SEO tip and I'd love if you'd tell me if you've ever migrated from one domain to another, how you handled the redirects and if you eventually used the original domain name for a new purpose! Lets compare notes!
Thanks in advance for your comment and shares!

Balancing study and social commitments can be tough enough when you're at university, but many students now start their own business too, either because of the highly competitive jobs market or simply because they want to fulfil entrepreneurial ambitions. One example is Oliver Dickinson, who explains how he set up We Connect Students while in the second year of a Plymouth University degree course
"I'm originally from Lowestoft in Suffolk, but now I live in London. A few years ago I was studying international business at Plymouth University. I never wanted a 'normal' career; I've always preferred the idea of forging my own path.
"The idea of improving things by introducing new ideas has always appealed to me. My business – We Connect Students – enables employers to search a database of tens of thousands of student profiles who closely match their selection criteria."
Market research
"I came up my business idea when friends started applying for internships. Such was the competition for places, they were having to apply for many schemes, which meant employers must have been receiving many awful 'copy-and-paste' applications from people who weren't genuinely interested. I thought, 'if the employer could find students who better matched their needs, the process would become significantly more efficient for both parties'.
"Belief in my idea came because it was just so glaringly obvious there was a problem that needed solving. I tested my business idea for about four months. I developed an 'alpha' version of my website that had basic functionality and registered about 500 students from my business school. Initially, I asked those who registered for feedback on my site.
"Hearing what was rubbish was more important than what was good, because it enabled me to make improvements. By that point, I had even greater belief in my business idea – the problem I then had was how to fund it.
Start-up funding
"I formed We Connect Students in 2010, during my second year of university. I used money I'd made from my previous venture, as well as my student loan, a loan from my mother and my overdraft - quite scary, really. As I recall, one week I had just £3 to live off!
"I then networked my way into an angel investor community and was offered investment by eight sources. While I was considering my options, I received another call and one three-hour phone conversation later I'd planned a trip to London to meet someone who would soon become my business partner and mentor.
"We managed to set up a call with the lawyer that worked for Mark Zuckerberg when Facebook was still thefacebook.com. He advised us on patents, but it soon became clear that the only way to mitigate the risk of competition was to move as quickly as possible and create as many barriers as possible. Raising finance – about £500,000 worth – has enabled us to build an incredibly intuitive, powerful and flexible platform.
Question of balance
"My mother was very supportive of my wish to start my own business while I was at university, plus, I only had 15 hours of lectures each week, so I didn't actually find balancing studying with launching my business that difficult.
"If you have a viable business idea and it won't affect your studies in any bad way, why wait until your course is over? If you have a groundbreaking idea, you risk someone else making a move, which could mean it's too late for you. Also, if you can't find the time to launch your business while only having 15 hours of lectures a week then you're probably not cut out for the long, unsociable hours and hard work that being your own boss involves.
"I don't think I was too young to be an entrepreneur. In truth, I've come across few barriers. And there's no reason why a younger person can't be more successful than someone who is older, providing they have a good idea, work hard and maintain the right attitude and commitment. I also believe that being honest and able to earn trust are crucial in business.
Networking opportunities
"My advice to an undergraduate thinking of starting their own business? Go to relevant activities and events your university hosts. They can be excellent networking opportunities or maybe just a good opportunity to practice your networking skills.
"Get involved in entrepreneurship societies, too. You never know, you might meet good contacts – perhaps even a future business partner. Also try to develop your communication and presentation skills at university – they can come in handy later, for example when you're pitching for investment or new business.
"Be brave. Be direct. When I needed to speak to a senior staff member at university, instead of emailing them, I'd go to their office to speak to them in person. Universities are a hotbed of knowledge, too, but you need to tap into that knowledge."
Oliver's three key pieces of advice
- "Don't get hung up on trying to be a 'cool, young entrepreneur' – it's not about that. I've seen start-ups who, as soon as they secure investment, go out and buy such things as ping-pong tables and other trendy items. Focus instead on what you really need to do to establish and grow your business."
- "Seriously consider a business partner. Sharing the workload will help you to get more done, probably quicker, too. It's also great to have someone to bounce ideas off and it can prevent you from feeling isolated. I'd also highly recommend finding a mentor."
- "Network, network and network some more. Importantly, keep your network happy and do as much as you can to help – but don't always expect something in return."

Learn more about J.M.W. Turner.
From the Studio: Mr. Turner explores the last quarter century of the great if eccentric British painter J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851). Profoundly affected by the death of his father, loved by a housekeeper he takes for granted and occasionally exploits sexually, he forms a close relationship with a seaside landlady with whom he eventually lives incognito in Chelsea, where he dies. Throughout this, he travels, paints, stays with the country aristocracy, visits brothels, is a popular if anarchic member of the Royal Academy of Arts, has himself strapped to the mast of a ship so that he can paint a snowstorm, and is both celebrated and reviled by the public and by royalty.

About the Property
Private ground floor of home, 2 Bedrooms + addl. bed, split level, 1 Bath
Minutes from downtown Boulder, walking distance to excellent coffee and tea houses, restaurants, bakery, shopping, well equipped grocery store, trails and more. Our artist's home is located within a quiet, historic residential district known as Mapleton Hill. 'Susurro' - our sunny and light, very private garden/walk-out apartment has a separate entrance and is part of our recently eco-remodeled home originally built in 1910. Our 750 sq. ft. apartment is colorful, eclectically furnished, with hot water baseboard heating, all domestic water filtered, cork floors, lots of light, antique cooking stove, custom trim, open layout, split level (with two steps) - living room/dining room/kitchen, hand painted floor, and mosaic tiled bathroom floor. Our home is a "come and borrow a cup of organic sugar" kind of home. Please note - Susurro is exceptionally well insulated however, we live upstairs, we are very quiet and we do not wear shoes inside our home. If you need total silence please reconsider - you will hear soft footsteps but never voices and in eight years we have had only two complaints.
'Susurro' is two blocks away from the foothills of the Rockies with great hiking trails, and the continental divide only a thirty-minute drive away. We are a 30 minute drive to Denver; 30 minute drive to Eldora Mountain Resort, 60 minute drive to Rocky Mountain National Park, and a 1.5 to 2.25 hour drive to Loveland, Winter Park, Breckenridge and Vail ski areas.
Boulder has year-round sunshine. The winter season usually brings brief snow storms followed by beautiful sunny days. It's not uncommon to have warm weather in the high 60s-70s in February and March. Late spring and summer offers warm days, wonderful thunderstorms and few airborne pests. Falls are warm with cool nights and some of the most amazing displays of light and color.
Well cared for and behaved dogs are welcome.

Owner info
Year Purchased: 2004
About the owner: I am from Medellin, Colombia and am an artist and psychotherapist. I consider Susurro to be an ongoing art Installation as well as the rest of the 'orange house'. Susurro means 'to murmer' in Spanish. It is a custom from Colombia to name your home - hence Susurro. My partner is a bodyworker, 'artist's slave' and musician - playing the mbira (thumb piano) from Zimbabwe. We have two daughters - both graduated from college and making decisions about graduate school - which makes us old (they think), young (we know)... We purchased Susurro with the intent of remodeling it - but ended up completely rebuilding it from the foundation up. We were the architects, draftspeople, general contractor, electrician, plumber, interior designer, painters, etc - you get the drift and we are still married - happily. We have totally enjoyed living here and meeting all the interesting people who have stayed here from different parts of the world.
Why the Owner Chose Central Boulder, Boulder, CO, USA:
Boulder is a beautiful city with incredible outdoor activities and cultural events. We chose this neighborhood due to its proximity and convenience to both downtown Boulder and mountain trails. We live in the 'orange house' on the property because we think this is the best neighborhood in Boulder. That being said we are available anytime while simultaneously guaranteeing your privacy.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
We feel incredibly privileged to live in this house and be able to ride our bikes, walk to nearby trails and cafes and enjoy the many and varied events and activities that Boulder offers. We love the sunshine that abounds in Colorado. Susurro is quiet, private and simultaneously centrally located. We invite you to experience the beauty and comfort first-hand! We speak English and Spanish.

GG4S boss Nick Buckles once said that he "never had any ambition of working for anyone else". Early retirement it is, then, for the 51-year-old with the odd mullet haircut, because there is no way he should be allowed to continue at the world's second biggest private-sector employer.
This is not because of the security fiasco at the Olympics, when G4S failed to stump up enough security guards so that the army had to step in to protect the event.
Don't get me wrong, the epic failure at a global event that means the company has ruled itself out of bidding for contracts at the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics in Brazil was certainly deserving of his head.
Nor is this about the disastrous failure to buy ISS for £5.2bn last year, when shareholders effectively vetoed his plans and were proven right last week when the Danish cleaner was valued some 20 per cent below that level in a stake sale.
And, obviously it's a bit odd how corporate advisers, brokers and a chairman lost their jobs with G4S when Buckles goes around boasting that his role nowadays is "reputation and pricing bids".
Of course he should have gone over the Olympics. Of course he should have gone over the ISS fiasco. But, to go for those reasons alone means that all the other shambles and controversies during his eight-year leadership then would be forgotten.
Buckles should go for the many, many awful mistakes the company has made during his reign.
It's difficult to know where to start, so I'll trot out the rebuttal that many shareholders will make against my argument: G4S has gown hugely under Buckles, the share price hovered below 120p in mid-2004 and since 2009 has traded at well over double that.
Yes, the financial performance is impressive, with consistently strong turnover, profit and dividend pay-out figures. But, the operational performance has been shameful and when the industry is something as crucial as security, it is not enough to use accounts as a defence.
Buckles is not personally responsible for any of the following, but the list is long enough to suggest that he has failed to impose the right culture on G4S's employees:
In 2007, staff at US subsidiary Wackenhut were found asleep while "securing" a nuclear power plant, resulting in the loss of its contract with the US's biggest energy provider;
In 2008, Aboriginal elder "Mr Ward" died of severe heat stroke in the back of a G4S prison van in Australia. G4S was fined after pleading guilty to charges of failing to protect the 46-year-old's health and safety;
In 2010, father-of-five Jimmy Mubenga, who was being deported from the UK to Angola, was restrained by three G4S security guards and died of cardiac arrest. Last month, the Crown Prosecution Service did not bring charges to the guards over insufficient evidence, a decision that a former chief inspector of prisons branded "perverse";
In 2011, G4S lost a major government contract after a record 773 complaints by immigration centre detainees, including nearly 50 of assault. Current chief inspector of prisons Nick Hardwick found that G4S guards used "highly offensive and sometime racist language".
Individually, these are hardly the fault of the boss of one of the world's most sprawling empires. It is also hard to say when enough emerged that Buckles should have taken a hard look at himself and admit that he hadn't corrected what appears to be cultural deficiencies.
But the list has gone well beyond whatever that point is and he should go.
How far off can the final whistle be for JJB Sports?
The board of JJB Sports held a lengthy meeting on Friday and the agenda would surely make interesting reading because I'm not sure what the directors have left to say to each other.
Can we survive the next quarterly rent payment day in September? If so, what's the point? There will still be another to get through before the end of the year.
Shall we just go down the pub? Only if there's a few quid left in the kitty. Which there probably isn't.
The long-suffering sports goods retailer – which, lest we forget, was worth more than £1bn in its heyday but found itself outmuscled and out-thought by the likes of JD Sports and Sports Direct – suffered yet another body blow last Thursday.
The group's latest supposed saviour, Dick's Sporting Goods, wrote off its £20m investment in the company leading to founder David Whelan, who sold his last shares five years ago, to question JJB's future. Analysts are openly talking of the likelihood of administration.
US group Dick's was due to plough another £20m into the concern next year, but JJB's future seems so bleak that it's not going to bother. It wouldn't have been enough, as it seems that JJB needs the dough far sooner than 2013 anyway.
Dick's will retain its 3 per cent stake, which it took five months ago, but having, in effect, publicly condemned JJB's prospects, that now looks more like hope than expectation of any recovery.
Where all this leaves Bob Corliss, a US turnaround specialist who used to run the unappealing sounding Athlete's Foot chain, is confusing. He is due to become chairman of JJB next month, but that was an appointment almost certainly recommended by Dick's itself. While in far from an untenable position, Corliss could well feel that with his biggest supporter distancing itself from JJB he will have less support in making the changes he feels the chain needs.
JJB failed to sell much football gear during Euro 2012, a plight for which there is a proverbial response. Maybe it's time to blow the final whistle on the company.
