The bases-loaded situation was the third one for the Cubs in the game. The first two were with one out and both ended in a strikeout and groundout to Sammy Sosa and Moises Alou, in order.
The Cubs jumped in front to a 1-0 lead off Danny Wright in the first inning with a home run by Alex Gonzalez. Wright went on to keep the Cubs off the board over his next six innings. Wright walked four and struck out three, while throwing 96 pitches.
Clement held the Sox' bats to just two hits through the first five innings, up until a Frank Thomas' solo homer in the sixth, tying the game at 1-1. Thomas went 1-3 with a walk in the game.
The White Sox took the lead in the seventh with another solo home run, this time by Carlos Lee, and added what turned out to be a vital insurance run in the eighth with a RBI-single by Magglio Ordonez.
Wright was pulled from the game with one out and the bases loaded in the seventh. The jam wasn't all his doing as a botched double play attempt by Valentin and D'Angelo Jimenez put men on first and second. The error happened when Valentin's feed went high to Jimenez, who missed the ball on the barehand attempt. Jimenez was charged with the error.
Wright then threw a wild pitch and intentionally walked Corey Patterson, setting up a Gordon versus Sosa matchup, which ended in a strikeout. Gordon pitched 1 2/3 innings total, giving up two runs. Billy Koch, who picked up the win, threw a scoreless inning.
Despite the error, the White Sox did flash some defense.
First, in the second inning, Paul Bako's broken-bat line-drive was caught by a jumping Jimenez at second. Jimenez made another nice play the next inning, charging in on a softly hit sinking liner by Patterson, catching it on the short-hop to just make the throw in time to first, with two outs and Mark Grudzielanek rounding third
In the fourth inning, Ordonez made a feet first slide on a line-drive off the bat of Sosa, and in the seventh, Willie Harris chased down a deep fly ball by Tom Goodwin.
Valentin went 2-4 in the game, extending his hitting streak to eight games. Valentin is 11-32 in the stretch. Lee also went 2-4.
Game two of the series will be on Saturday at 3:05 p.m. CT, with Bartolo Colon going up against Carlos Zambrano. The game will be televised on WGN.

Diesel all go.
Just a gloat.
After a four month strip down and cleanup, gearbox swap etc, my rig is back on the road. The Isuzu 4BD1T had never had full fuel delivery due to a worn out aneroid on the fuel pump.
Now it's downright silly.
Spins the back wheels on damp tarmac in second gear (1:1 LT230, 3.54 gears), passes everything uphill and spins all four on gravel in third which pulls up to 80km/h. I'm having to run 19psi boost to keep EGT's under control, an intercooler is next on the list.
Shame everything gets in the way in a LHD truck, but if one of you guys grey market imported a RHD one and found an old Isuzu NPR your head gasket issues would be over forever.

What did you think of Top Design tonight?
I have to say, the judges looked great on Santa Monica beach. Loved Adler in the cocoa polo and Kelly's gorgeous dress…
Team Tahiti had a beautiful space but the ceiling looked a little unfinished. It really did need sun protection. I would have loved to see some color, it was very neutral. I like Felicia a lot, she is so well spoken. The Gilligan's island and that comment about going to the Viceroy for a "Girls weekend, all three of us" was cute. (he he) Team Miami's roof was gorgeous and I loved all the strips of fabric and the way the light filtered in, wow. Just add mojitos and music and I'm there… I have to say Team Miami got hammered. The judges do not like Elizabeth, Kelly called her, "passive aggresive". I also liked Team Saint Tropez, what an amazing structure. So sculptural, clearly Goil has amazing talent. It was definitely better than a hamburger shack. Ryan should not have gone shopping. Period. All I can say is that at least they got out of the PDC this week, sheesh! Your thoughts???
So far, I'm liking Felicia and Goil as designers… Michael for sheer personality, his sarcasms keep the show fun and less serious, and when he was stuffing his bed, you had to admit it was cute. Who do you think stands out?

Eat more Beef.

Gotta wear bullet proof vests in the WILD WILD WEST of the island. I say shootem and save us some money..........
#3 Nov 4, 2009
Nice, loser punks in their 20's on a work day without jobs cruising OJ Simpson style looking for a bucket of fried bird. It is like good ole Tombstone, AZ. Just open up some brothels, gambling parlors, and throw in some liquored up miners and you got yourself a frontier town Hoss!
United States
#4 Nov 4, 2009
Dam! the suspect didn't die. Since he's in critical condition let's hope for the worse.
#5 Nov 4, 2009
it is sad that criminals nowadays don't heed the Law and obey their orders. The cops have a hard job, [email protected] if you do, [email protected] if you don't
Too bad the cops are bad shots, they should have ended his life right then and there. Now, we as taxpayers have to house, feed these bums of Life
#6 Nov 4, 2009
hmmm, where's Lopez's parents comments that their good, kind son who'd never do any wrong to anyone and their condemnation of Honolulu's Finest.
let's hear what lawyer is taking on this case against HPD and the officer's who fired the shots. Lopez is well known to PC cops so they singled him out and shot him being tired of seeing him going thru the revolving door

How do they know he was the one that stole the car? The Hawaiian Nation does not condone that kind of treatment of our people. This is not over.
#8 Nov 4, 2009
Good for that loser!!!
United States
#9 Nov 4, 2009
The police have a hard enough job without people trying to run them over. They are doing a great job in Hawaii and that's why we have one of the best police departments in the nation.
#10 Nov 4, 2009
Alice, what they do know is that he tried to run down and kill a cop. Your are right about this not being over. It wont be over until all of the criminals like this guy are either dead or locked up. There are Hawaiians on both sides of this incident, don't make it racial.
#11 Nov 4, 2009
If he did'nt steal the car, then why was he RAMMING cars to get away from the cops??? He should have went to his Hawaiian Nation and used one of their cars, Slapnuts!!!
#12 Nov 4, 2009
Finally some good news - I love it when HPD uses their weapons to stop the low-lifes in our community. I'd be happy to supply the ammunition!
Good job HPD!

#13 Nov 4, 2009
Did it ever occur to you that maybe he didn't see the cars? Always judging people before they have their day in court.
#14 Nov 4, 2009
stolen car. hey, mon, it's only a property crime. car owner looses car. will no fault cover damage?
United States
#15 Nov 4, 2009
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it make it racial. He was actually puerto rican.
#16 Nov 4, 2009
The cops are too kind, they should have killed both of these criminals. Put them out of their drug induced misery. Come on cops get more shooting practice so you can put a couple of bullets between the criminals eyes. So sad good people get addicted to drugs but save them by stopping their suffering and kill them. Mahalo, have a nice day.
#17 Nov 4, 2009
Let the cops shoot all the criminals then after there are no more criminals get rid of all the cops. That's how you save money.
#18 Nov 4, 2009
He was driving the car, if Your in control of a stolen car it's all on You. And are You saying some People because of Their race can commit crime with out repercussions? Sick.
#19 Nov 4, 2009
He can't see a 3000 pound car, LOL, I get it now Your a forum Troll.
#20 Nov 4, 2009
I can see it now. His friends will call this idiot a great person who was just trying to turn his life around. Just another punk loser lose on the streets. Why don't the courts put these idiots in the Israeli army. Either you survive or die. Take your pick.

The passage of Mercury over the sun was witnessed by Gassendi in 1631.
Gassendi, as sketched by Lange, is hardly to be ranked with either.
Gassendi recommends these admirable works, and Puffendorff acknowledges the depth of his obligations.
There seems to be this difference, however, between Gassendi and Maxwell.
He denied the diurnal rotation of the earth, and was attacked by Kepler and Mersenne, and accused of magic by Gassendi.
Gassendi looked at the sun on the 4th, 5th, and 6th December.
He sat at the feet of Galileo and by the side of Gassendi and Descartes.
Gassendus or Gassendi was Cyrano's own teacher of Philosophy.
Gassendi has left us an account of the library collected by Peiresc.
Gassendi assures us that of three thousand shots only one is a hit.

Boreal Forest: Link to the Past
"You need to wear a lifejacket," advises Darryl Moore, a guide through the waters of Footprint Lake around Nelson House, Manitoba, home of the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation in Canada's boreal forest.
Though the water seems flat and calm, this is a hard rule: "dead heads" — trees floating at or just below the surface of the water — are a major risk to traditional harvesters and gatherers, boaters and fishermen in the area.
Damming in the 1970s created these dangers, distorting water levels and causing trees to float around or sink underwater and eventually roll up along the shoreline, smothering vegetation and vital habitat.
Learning the Nisichawayasihk Ways
As Darryl motors along the edge of the community, kids swim off shore — some calling out to Darryl, who is the outdoor education instructor for the community's 1,200 students.
He teaches the kids, whom he jokingly calls "George" and "Georgettes," how to make snow shoes, paddles and fishing houses.
He also helps them learn how to trap and hunt responsibly and insists that they follow the community's customs and traditions, including feeding the elders before feeding themselves.
The people of Nelson House consider themselves part of nature, believing they always have and always will look after Mother Earth.
The Conservancy is committed to partnering with Indigenous people throughout Canada — together we are shaping the future of the boreal forest.
Darryl's Story
Darryl grew up in the Nelson House community and spent many a winter night camping under the stars at his grandfather's cabin and learning the Nisichawayasihk ways of life.
He speaks both Cree and English and has collected a vocabulary of 5,000 Cree words for local teachers.
Guided by Ancestors
Darryl shares stories from his childhood and points out cultural landmarks like the old dancing ground (once flooded, now moved to a new location) and the place where his traditional wedding ceremony took place just this fall.
At a sheer granite wall, he notes two circles that are recovered from actual footprints by Cree ancestors to guide travel down the river.
Like the "dead heads," these signs once disappeared underwater but were recovered, chipped out, restored and moved 20 feet up on the wall to be visible to future generations.
Community Restoration
In 2012, the hydro company put in a new generating station on the Burntwood River in partnership with Nelson House that keeps water levels more consistent than past hydro development that caused significant changes to surrounding lakes and rivers.
And the wildlife is returning.
For the first time in 40 years, water levels are low and steady enough, so geese are nesting, ducks are flying and eagles are thriving. Muskrats — once a mainstay of the community diet, clothing and economy — are again building dens along the shore.
When Darryl shared the good news with the elders, they advised against trapping until the populations had a chance to multiply — an example of achieving sustainable conservation using traditional First Nation values.
Pulling back up to the dock, the spines of black and white spruce and the laughter of swimming kids return.
Darryl remarks that with all the fresh air on the water "you won't be able to fight your sleep tonight."

Master Hashim Bogha was born in Porebandar, India in 1863. He was intelligent and thus eager to get educated, but his poverty fated a hitch in his life. He however continued by hook and crook. He studied till late hours at night. Sometimes he stood several hours below a street-light to study when he had not a single penny to purchase kerosene for the lamp. Despite his down-trodden condition, he had his schooling upto matriculation.
In 1881, his fortune brought him in Bombay at the age of 18 years and joined Khan Muhammad Habib School as an assistant teacher in the English section.

- " It's a wonderful hostel in ancient chinese style - we was charmed and wished to stay there for a long time) It has the bar with biliard and cafe at the first floor. Our room was clean and very comfortable. Also it's very close to the subway and XianCity Wall. "
- 11 Jul 2014 Anonymous Russia
- " My girlffriend and I didn't know that people smoke everywhere which was horrible in our opinion as none of us smoke. For some reason everyone ignores the signs that say: "NO SMOKING" and the staff doesn't care either so If you don't like people smoke around you, don't book your stay here in Xi'an. The reception is very helpful, but that's about all I can say about this hostel. "

Rough Country isn't bad...
I bought my Rough Country 4" lift a couple months ago. Of course everyone told me how horrible they are and you may remember my post about the height not looking right. Turns out the height wasn't correct. I measured from ground to rocker and came up with 20" (2" shy of a 4"). Called them up, they asked for pics, I sent them and they sent me new springs. Great customer service. Can't wait to get the new ones in and see what 4" is really like.
That's good. Sounds like a simple mistake. Glad they are doing you right.
Cool, glad they are taking care of you.As I mentioned in your previous thread, they have made some changes in their products. I am glad they are moving in the right direction.

Having captured readers' hearts and imaginations in three USA Today-bestselling books, the irrepressible Ladies of Covington again delight us in Joan Medlicott's richest and most warmly affecting novel yet.
If you're meeting the Ladies of Covington for the first time, prepare to fall in love with Hannah, Grace, and Amelia three warm, strong, and wonderful sixty-something women who are so real, they'll soon become dear friends. If you've visited Covington before, you know how much you're going to enjoy catching up on their lives, as the ladies face new challenges with generous hearts, a hearty dose of practicality, and good cheer.
Hannah, Grace, and Amelia are devastated when a fire destroys their beloved old farmhouse on Cove Road. As they begin the long, difficult process of rebuilding, they find an unexpected silver lining as the crisis creates deeper bonds with the locals in their adopted North Carolina mountain town.
Of course life doesn't stop just because there's an emergency, and new developments arise from the situation. After Grace's dear companion Bob has a heart attack, she moves into his hillside condo to take care of him and then must decide whether to rejoin the other ladies when their new farmhouse is finished.
Without the buffer of Grace's ease, Hannah and Amelia find their very different person-alities clashing. To ease the strain, Hannah temporarily moves in with George Maxwell, their across-the-street neighbor, with whom she works side-by-side in creating Bella's Park. And when Max surprises Hannah by offering her a marriage of convenience, where she can continue living with the other ladies but also inherit Bella's Park to safeguard it, she has a very difficult decision to make.
A soul-nourishing portrait of the power of female friendship and the endurance of love, The Spirit of Covington is pure Medlicott: totally engaging, heart-tugging, and unfailingly true-to-life.

Read an Excerpt
Chapter One: Winds of Change
At midnight on August 2, the wind slackened, then stirred. Gusts sent leaves scurrying. A tiny spark from a cigarette, casually tossed by eighteen-year-old Brad Herrill returning home from a party, flared to life among dry leaves and snaked toward the woods. In the farmhouses fronting the woods on Cove Road, men, women, and children slept.
By two A.M., a necklace of gold edged the outer fringe of trees, and by three A.M. it had crawled into the woods. Heat from the fire sucked moisture from tree trunks. Bursts of wind stirred the flames, causing widening bands of them to veer across pastures, toward barns and farmhouses. In their stalls, cows and horses snorted and pawed the earth, and still the occupants of the houses slept.
In the farmhouse, Amelia Declose awakened. Through her front window George Maxwell's dairy farm across the road shimmered in an eerie, golden glow in a moonless night. When she raised her window, the caustic smell of smoke filled her nostrils. Smoke drifted into her room and set the battery-powered alarm on her wall jangling. From Elk Road, the main road through the hamlet of Covington, fire trucks rounded the corner and tore down Cove Road, their sirens wailing. With increasing panic, Amelia watched the line of trucks: four, five, six. Lights came on in Maxwell's farmhouse.
Amelia screamed.
Within seconds her housemates, Grace Singleton and Hannah Parrish, were at her side.
"A fire, where?" Grace asked, suddenly fully awake.
Clutching her neck and shoulder as if feeling the searing pain of burns inflicted by another fire on another night long ago, Amelia stared wild-eyed and pointed toward the window.
"I'm going outside, see where it is," Hannah declared. When Amelia screamed, Hannah had immediately pulled on slacks, shirt, and shoes. Moments later, from the middle of their front lawn, she saw that one of the other farmhouses was ablaze and another spitting flames. Upstairs her housemates were huddled at Amelia's window. "The Herrills' place is on fire, and looks like the Craines' is also," Hannah called.
"What should we do?" Grace shouted to Hannah, though her voice blanched in the roar of a helicopter passing overhead.
"Get dressed," Laura said. Hannah's forty-one-year-old daughter Laura, who had been living with them for a year, stood in the doorway. Her eyes were absent of emotion. Last July, a year ago, she had survived a hurricane in the Caribbean that had destroyed her home, a charter boat, and everything she owned, and killed Marvin, the man she loved. It was déjà vu.
Hannah dashed back upstairs. "Huge blaze. More fire trucks down there than there are people on Cove Road."
"Let's go." Amelia's voice rose shrilly. "Get the car, Grace. Get the car."
Grace put her arm about Amelia's shoulder. Amelia's body quivered like waves stirred by a rising wind. "It's okay, Amelia. They'll have the fire out in no time, I'm sure."
Pulling away from Grace, Amelia fled the house. Halfway down the porch steps, it struck her that she wore only a satin nightgown. The night was delirious with the sounds of shouted orders, revving engines, and low-flying helicopters. A brisk wind wrapped the ends of Amelia's nightgown about her legs, nearly tripping her. Yanking open the door of her car, she stared inside. She had no keys, and Hannah's station wagon blocked her Taurus. Slamming the door, she began to weep. Fifteen feet from the porch, Amelia's legs buckled, and she lay for a time on the grass, grass that was dry and brittle from the summer's drought. Here I am, she thought, barefoot, and barely dressed, sixty-nine years old, and behaving like a hysterical five-year-old.
The Craines' and Herrills' homes and barns were ablaze. Numb and bewildered, the families huddled outside of Cove Road Church with their neighbors the Lunds, the Tates, and Pastor Johnson on the other side of the road. Heat assailed their arms and faces. Acrid smoke stung their eyes as they watched firemen from Madison and Buncombe counties fight a desperate and losing battle to save their homes. On the hills behind the houses arrowheads of flame marked the tree line where helicopters had dumped their vital cargo of fire retardants.
At the ladies' farmhouse everyone was now dressed. Hannah had brought black plastic trash bags upstairs. These she now distributed, one to each of them. "I expect they'll have this fire under control long before it reaches our house, but we can't stay here the smell of smoke and charred wood will be suffocating. We'll go to Loring Valley and use our children's apartment. Put whatever you think you'll need for a few days, maybe a week, into these bags."
Hiccuping and crying, frantic to flee yet terrified to be alone, Amelia attempted to follow instructions. But when she entered her bedroom, her mind fogged. Everything in the room was the same, yet nothing seemed real. Frenetically she dumped everything on top of her dressing table brush, comb, cosmetics into the black plastic bag, and then every pair of shoes she owned.
Hannah and Grace tossed shirts, and slacks, and lingerie, and other bits and pieces of clothing into their bags, and Hannah, ever practical, emptied the file under her desk of papers: the deed to the property, their tax records, wills, birth certificates, and other documents. No one thought of taking Amelia's photographs or antique fan collection, or Grace's treasured clowns or collection of treasured cookbooks, or Hannah's gardening tools and books. Finally, clutching their bags, they stood in the hall. Laura pulled her mother aside.
"Come, look out my window," she whispered.
"Go on down, put your bags in my station wagon it's last in line. We'll be right down," Hannah said to Grace and Amelia. "Laura's asked me to help her with something." Turning, she followed Laura down the hall.
Laura's window offered a view of the woods and hillsides. Fire raged on the slope behind the Herrills' and marched inexorably across the woods behind the Craines', their closest neighbor. Above the hills a helicopter released its load of fire-retardant liquid.
"Still think they can put it out before it gets to us?" Laura asked.
"With the helicopters helping, yes, certainly. They'll have it under control in no time," Hannah said, feigning optimism while her heart plummeted. Thank God she'd packed their papers, but what else should she, should they, have taken?
Horses neighed fear and protest as men led them across the road, away from their barns. Flames crackled and roared. Roof beams thundered as they toppled. Hoses stretched across Cove Road in order to drench the roofs and walls of the Lunds' and Tates' homes and barns. Standing on a fire truck, the chief yelled orders and demanded that residents evacuate the area. As firefighters turned their hoses on the church, families clambered into vehicles lined up along the road.
The rear of Ted Lund's pickup brimmed with sacks of clothing. A rocking chair leaned against a grandfather clock, and Pastor Johnson, clutching a suitcase, sat on a sack next to the Lund boys, Rick and Alex. Molly, Ted's wife, and her mother, Brenda Tate, squeezed into the front seat. Behind them, water cascaded from the roof of the church.
Suffering from a hangover, and unaware of his role in the destruction, Brad Herrill groaned and held his head as he hunched in the back of his father's big truck. They pulled away and headed for Elk Road. Piled with furniture and clothing, the Craines' two vehicles followed. As the small caravan started up, the chief waved them on. "Get a move on!" he yelled.
In the cul-de-sac, the office and newly constructed living museum sites at the Bella Maxwell Park and Preserve had been thoroughly drenched, although the chief believed that the winds would hold steady, and the park was not in danger. Still, one never knew.
Across from the ladies, at George (Max) Maxwell's dairy farm, a congregation of cows, darkly etched against the orange glare, were being herded high onto the hills behind the barns. Men with hoses pelted Maxwell's lawn, windmill, house, and barns with torrents of water. As the vehicles passed his property, Max broke from among the firefighters and ran across the road to the ladies, who stood as if frozen on their porch.
"God, Hannah." He grasped her. "They're evacuating everyone. Damn. I thought they'd have it under control by now. Are you all right?"
Terror reigned in Amelia's eyes, numb bewilderment in Grace's. Unwittingly, Hannah slumped against Max for a moment. The relief in her eyes was transitory, and turned to despair. After tossing their bags into Hannah's wagon, Max shepherded them across the road to his lawn, then raced back to move the station wagon from their driveway. And just in time, for shortly after he rejoined them, they stared in disbelief as fire trucks trammeled Hannah's rosebushes, as more lengths of hose were unfurled, as great bursts of water struck their home and showered down windowpanes.
Perhaps it was the proximity, perhaps the sheer irrationality of the moment, but Grace broke from them and dashed back to their farmhouse. "I'm going after our things!"
Amelia cringed. Her pupils dilated with fear. "No!" she screamed. "Grace. No. No."
Before Max could stop her, Hannah raced after Grace.
Max said, "I'll get them. Stay with Amelia, Laura."
Laura drew closer to the older woman, who slumped against her. The world glowed red.
Dashing past firefighters, Max snatched the women about their waists and struggled to pull them back. With amazing strength, Grace broke loose. Max raced after her, Hannah following across the lawn, up the slippery steps, and into the farmhouse. The wood floors inside were slick. The rug in the foyer and the carpeted stairs oozed water. A caustic layer of smoke hunkered about them.
Grace was already upstairs, coughing. They followed. In the hallway, smoke darkened the space.
Max hastened to wet towels. "Cover your mouths and noses. Let's get out of here."
By then, Grace had disappeared into Amelia's room, where the battery-powered fire alarm sounded a faint, intermittent beep. Tearing a pillow from its case, she headed for the dresser, pulled the collection of antique fans from the wall above it, and stuffed them into the pillowcase along with silk and cashmere scarves from a drawer. She couldn't reach the top shelf of the closet, couldn't save Amelia's straw hat, a treasured gift from her husband, Thomas.
Steps thudded on the stairs. A fireman yelled, "You people crazy? Out of here. Out. Now!"
Max yanked Grace's arm. "You heard him. Let's go."
Hannah called to Grace. "Come on. Hurry."
"I want my clown that Bob gave me," Grace called back
"No time." Max held the towel to his mouth and coughed.
They pulled Grace toward the steps.
"My diabetes medication." Possessed by a rush of strength, Grace tore free of Max and Hannah, brushed away the young fireman, and darted into the smoky, water-drenched kitchen. Looking wildly about, she felt her way, grabbed the bottle of pills from a straw basket on the counter and a cookbook not a particular cookbook, but the first to touch her fingers. She lurched forward, held her chest, and gasped for air.
Wayne Reynolds, a close friend and volunteer fireman, was beside her. "Outta here, Miss Grace. Back of your house is burning." His strong arms wrested her out onto the lawn and thrust her, stumbling and coughing, toward Hannah, who shuddered when she saw the greenhouse she had sold to Wayne already consumed by flames.
Grace heard a man say, "This house is gone, too." Exhausted, and bent nearly double from choking and coughing, Grace managed to glance at his face. Under the yellow parka, his eyes were red and his tired face damp. A long dark smudge ran down his cheek. He pointed to the ladies' farmhouse just as a paramedic ran up to Grace with an oxygen mask and tank. She held the mask tight and breathed, short gasping breaths and then more deeply.
"Let's get them outta here!" the paramedic shouted to Max above the din as he pressed them away from the house.
Moments later they stood alongside Hannah's station wagon on the road in front of Max's house and watched with horror as flames danced triumphantly on the roof of the farmhouse they had so lovingly renovated and moved into three years ago. Thick gray smoke billowed from its windows and poured from every nook and cranny of the old homestead. Firefighters staggered back.
"Damned fool people running into that house. Risk their lives and ours. Place is dry as tinder," Grace heard someone say. But she'd had to go, didn't they understand? For Amelia, she'd had to go.
A young fireman from Mars Hill, ten miles away, dashed up and demanded, in no uncertain terms, that they leave Cove Road.
"Go to Bob's place!" Maxwell yelled above the din.
Hannah nodded. Four dispirited women, one nearly hysterical, climbed into Hannah's old station wagon and drove, ever so cautiously, toward Elk Road.

Harley-Davidson had filed to use the lightning name on motorcycle parts, protective gear including helmets, turn signals, television sets, and even eyeglasses. Apple's application shows a partial transfer of the trademark was made on Thanksgiving leading us to assume that Harley-Davidson still has the right to use the name on some of its motorcycle gear, while Apple can use it for its dock connector and for other technology products.
For the Rip Van Winkles out there, the lightning dock connector was released by Apple this year, starting with the Apple iPhone 5, and replaces the old 30 pin connector. Apple does sell an adapter to convert from 30 pins to the 8 used with lightning, and there is also an Apple-sold adapter that goes from lighting to USB.

Create a Web Service that receives SOAP attachments with Rational Application Developer
In this article, you'll use the IBM Rational Application Developer (hereafter called Application Developer) interactive development environment (IDE) to create both a service and a client for the service that receives a text message in the body and a text message, a jpeg file and a zip file as attachments. The client is provided here to demonstrate the sending of a SOAP message with attachments to a Web service and to provide an example of a good pattern for connecting to and sending a message to a Web service.
Most of the project artifacts created in this exercise are generated automatically by the Application Developer tooling, with the exception of the WSDL file from which the two projects are generated. Although you probably want to use Application Developer to enhance productivity, you can create the project artifacts manually (if you have a lot of time on your hands!). By examining the generated artifacts, you can understand the techniques required to send a SOAP message with attachments.
In this exercise, we'll start with a WSDL file that describes a service that accepts a message with a text body, as well as text, .zip, .jpg file attachments. We'll use that WSDL file to create both the service and the client projects, which contain all the required code, but we'll manually enhance the code to demonstrate some additional features. In particular, we'll add some code to the generated artifacts that will write trace messages to the Application Developer console so we can understand the execution of the system. In addition, we'll add a JAX-RPC hander to the service application so we can illustrate the use of some simple SOAP Attachments API for Java™ (SAAJ) code that confirms that an attachment exists. The handler code is not required, but it introduces you to techniques that you can use to provide additional message processing when an application has requirements that go beyond the simple sending of a message.
Prepare the environment
This section describes the steps to prepare your environment.
Prepare the source files
The AttachmentsFiles.zip file available in the Download section contains six files that you'll use during this exercise:
- AttachmentIBM.wsdl - this is the wsdl file from which the 2 projects will be generated.
- AttachmentIBMHandler.java - this is an optional file containing SAAJ code that can be used to confirm that an attachment is included with the message.
- AttachmentIBMTest.jsp - this is another optional file that contains several lines of code that invokes the test client we create.
- AttachmentIBMBindingImpl.java - This is the class that implements the AttachmentIBM Interface and contains the code that provides that function of the operation. This is generated by one of the wizards during this exercise, but the generated version does not contain all the code you'll need, so this version has my own custom code which can be copied into the generated version.
- fed.zip - a sample zip file to use as an attachment.
- fed.jpg - a sample jpeg file to use as an attachment.
Unzip these files to a folder from which you can import them into Application Developer as needed during the development of this project; for example, C:\temp1.
Note: if you put the fed.jpg file and fed.zip file in a folder other than c:\temp1, you'll have to change the reference to those files in the AttachmentIBMTest.jsp.
Start Application Developer
Start Application Developer, preferably with a fresh workspace. Once open, enable Web services tooling by doing the following:
- Select Window => Preferences => Workspace => Capabilities.
- Check Web Services Developer and Advanced J2EE.
Start the server
On the Servers tab, right-click WebSphere Application Server v6 and select Start.
Create the service from a WSDL file
This section describes the steps for creating the service.
Create an empty Web application project for the Web service
- Select File => New => Dynamic Web Project to open the New Project wizard.
- On the New Dynamic Web Project dialog, type
AttachmentServicein the Name field, accept the defaults for the rest of the fields, and click Finish, as shown in Figure 1:
Figure 1. Create an empty Web application project for the Web service
A new Web project is created with the structures seen in Figure 2:
Figure 2. New Web project
Before continuing with the development of the service, deploy the new project to the WebSphere test server by doing the following:
- On the Servers tab, right-click the WebSphere server, then select Add and Remove Projects.
- Select AttachmentServiceEAR and click Add, then click Finish, as showin in Figure 3:
Figure 3. Project ready for deployment
Generate Web service components in the new project
Now you need to add the new project AttachmentIBM.wsdl to the project so that it can be used to generate the Web services components of the project. To do this, do the following:
- Expand the AttachmentsService project, right-click WebContent, and select Import => File System => Next.
- In the Import dialog, browse to the folder where you unzipped the sample files. On the left of the dialog, click the name of the folder you selected (but don't click the check box). The contents of the file display on the right. Check AttachmentIBM.wsdl and click Finish, as shown in Figure 4:
Figure 4. Project ready for deployment
AttachmentIBM.wsdl contains all the information required to generate a Web service, as well as a client that uses the service. Let's examine the contents of this file. Double-click AttachmentIBM.wsd to open it in the Application Developer text XML editor, and click the Source tab to view the code. Two sections are particularly significant to this exercise.
Listing 1 gives a message definition that describes the content of the message that is sent in the
sendAttachments operation defined in Listing 2. This message is interesting because it's used by JAX-RPC to determine the Java data types that constitute the signature of the method that implements the
sendAttachments operation.
Listing 1. The message definition
<message name="attachmentMsg"> <part name="textBody" type ="xsd:string"/> <part name="textAttachment" type="xsd:hexBinary"/> <part name="imageAttachment" type="xsd:hexBinary"/> <part name="zipAttachment" type="xsd:hexBinary"/> </message>
Ordinarily, this definition would result in a method signature that would have the first parameter declared as a Java
String and each of the other parameters declared as a Java byte array. But, there's information in the bindings section of the wsdl that will change that, as seen in Listing 2.
Listing 2. The wsdl bindings section
<binding name="AttachmentIBMBinding" type="tns:AttachmentIBM"> <soap:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/> <operation name="sendAttachments"> <soap:operation soapAction=""/> <input> <mime:multipartRelated> <mime:part> <soap:body use="literal"/> </mime:part> <mime:part> <mime:content part="textAttachment" type="text/plain"/> </mime:part> <mime:part> <mime:content part="imageAttachment" type="image/jpeg"/> </mime:part> <mime:part> <mime:content part="zipAttachment" type="application/zip"/> </mime:part> </mime:multipartRelated> </input> <output> <soap:body use="literal"/> </output> </operation> </binding>
The bindings section contains MIME declarations that characterize the contents of the message.
The first
mime:part refers to the body of the SOAP message. It's treated as a typical
literal encoded style element.
The second
mime:part section defines the
textAttachment part of the message as having a mime type of
text/plain. Because of this, JAX-RPC causes the second parameter to be generated as a Java
String rather than a Java byte array. At runtime, the SOAP engine retrieves this
AttachmentPart from the SOAPMessage and passes it to the operation as a Java
The third
mime:part section defines the
imageAttachment part of the message as having a mime type of
image/jpeg. Because of this, JAX-RPC causes the third parameter to be generated as a
java.awt.Image rather than a Java byte array. At runtime, the SOAP engine retrieves this
AttachmentPart from the SOAPMessage and passes it to the operation as a Java
The fourth
mime:part section defines the
zipAttachment part of the message as having a mime type of
application/zip. Because of this, JAX-RPC causes the fourth parameter to be generated as a
javax.activation.DataHandler rather than a Java byte array. At runtime, the SOAP engine retrieves this
AttachmentPart from the SOAPMessage and passes it to the operation as a Java
DataHandler. The mime type of this attachment cannot be mapped directly by JAX-RPC to a Java type. If a mime type is not one of the few types that JAX-RPC knows how to handle, it maps the attachment to a
javax.activation.Datahandler class, which must be handled explicitly by the operation. See the JAX-RPC documentation for the mime type to Java type mappings.
Now that you understand the meaning of the wsdl file parts and you know what to expect from the mapping components, let's use the wsdl to create the Web services artifacts we need in our project:
- Close the editor.
- Right-click AttachmentIBM.wsdl, and select Web Services => Generate Java bean skeleton.
- The Web Service wizard starts. On the Web Services dialog, select Overwrite Files without warning and click Next, as ishown in Figure 5:
Figure 5. Web Services dialog
- In the Object Selection dialog, accept the defaults and click Next, as shown in Figure 6:
Figure 6. Object Selection dialog
- In the Service Deployment Configuration dialog, accept the defaults and click Next, as shown in Figure 7:
Figure 7. Service Deployment Configuration dialog
- In the Web Service Skeleton Java Bean Configuration dialog, accept the defaults and click Finish, as shown in Figure 8:
Figure 8. Web Service Skeleton Java Bean Configuration dialog
After the wizard finishes processing, you'll notice that several new files have been created in the project. Application Developer opens the new AttachmentIBMBindingImpl.java class in the Java editor. Before we look at the AttachmentIBMBindingImpl.java file, let's see what files have been added to the project. Figure 9 shows the Project Explorer:
Figure 9. Project Explorer
Drill down to the AttachmentService => JavaResources => JavaSource folder and you'll see that a new package named
ibm.attachment was created. Expand this folder and you'll see two new classes:
- AttachmentIBM.java - This is a Java interface that's often referred to as the server skeleton. It declares the methods available in this Web service and is used by the server to demarshal the contents of the incoming SOAP message.
- AttachmentIBMBindingImpl.java - This is the class that implements the
AttachmentIBMinterface, and contains the code that provides that function of the operation. The generated method is empty because it's up to the developers to provide code that satisfies the requirements of the operation. In a moment, we'll insert some code here that prints out some messages to the WebSphere console so we can monitor the execution of the test of this service.
Expand the WebContent => WEB-INF folder and you see two other new files:
- webservices.xml - This file contains the definition of the service. Examine this file to see the reference to the AttachmentIBM.java as the Service Endpoint Interface and a reference to the AttachmentIBMBindingImpl.java class as the Service Implementation Bean.
- AttachmentIBM_mapping.xml - This file describes the mappings from the incoming XML stream to the Java types declared in the method signature of the service operation. The content of this file is rather cryptic, but the rules for constructing these mappings are described in the JAX-RPC specification.
In addition, a change has been made to the web.xml file that inserts a servlet declaration for the AttachmentIBMBindingImpl.java class so that it can be invoked at runtime by the SOAP engine, as illustrated in Listing 3:
Listing 3. Servlet declaration for the AttachmentIBMBindingImpl.java class
<servlet> <servlet-name>ibm_attachment_AttachmentIBMBindingImpl</servlet-name> <servlet-class>ibm.attachment.AttachmentIBMBindingImpl</servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet>
Now that we've examined the results of the Web service generation wizard, let's get back to the exercise. The wizard created the AttachmentIBMBindingImpl.java file and opened it in the Java editor. At this point, you would ordinarily start coding the real implementation of the service's operations. However, since we're only interested in the passing of attachments, we'll simply add a console message that displays the contents of the message body text and some information about the attachments that we passed to this service from our client application (which will be generated by a Application Developer wizard in the next section). Add the code in Listing 4 to the
sendAttachments method of this class (you can type it in or copy it from the AttachmentIBMBindingImpl.java file provided in the Download section.
Listing 4. Additional code for the sendAttachments method
System.out.println("entering AttachmentBindingImpl.sendimage()"); System.out.println("The text Body is: " + textBody); System.out.println("The text Attachment is: " + textAttachment); System.out.println("Image properties are: " + imageAttachment.toString()); // TBD - should probably do something with zip file ! if (null != zipAttachment) { System.out.println("The Zip Attachment is received"); } else { System.out.println("The Zip Attachment is not received"); } System.out.println("exiting AttachmentBindingImpl.sendimage()");
The class should now look like this:
Figure 10. The new AttachmentBindingImpl class
Save and close the AttachmentIBMBindingImpl.java file.
Add optional handler to service project
Although we're officially finished with the service, let's add a new class to the project that can demonstrate that one of the two text messages that were passed to our service was actually passed as an attachment. We'll do this by creating a JAX-RPC handler that intercepts the incoming request message on the service side and examines the incoming message using classes from the SOAP Attachments API for Java (SAAJ). The handler class we define will look for SOAP AttachmentParts and display on the console the mime type of any parts found.
We'll use Application Developer to create the base Handler and then we'll add the SAAJ code that examines the SOAP message. The code for our handler is simple. You can either type in the code shown below or copy and paste it from the file provided with the article
Let's first create the basic class and then examine the generated code:
- In the service project, navigate to the JavaResources => JavaSource folder and right-click JavaSource.
- Select New=>class to start the New Class wizard.
- In the New Java Class dialog, type
ibm.attachment.handlerfor the package name and
AttachmentIBMHandlerfor the class name, then click Browse next to the SuperClass field.
- In the Superclass Selection dialog, type
GenericHandlerin the Choose a Type field. In the Qualifier field, select the GenericHandler class from the
javax.xml.rpc.handlerpackage and then click OK, as shown in Figure 11:
Figure 11. Superclass Selection dialog
- Back in the in the New Java Class dialog, check Constructors from superclass and click Finish, as shown in Figure 12:
Figure 12. The new AttachmentBindingImpl class
The handler we've just created is a skeleton, so we need to add some additional code that implements the function we want to provide. The
GenericHandler from which we derived our handler has methods that are invoked by the SOAP runtime when a handler is called. One of those methods,
handleRequest, is called just before an incoming request is passed to a Web service. This allows the developer of a JAX-RPC handler to do any kind of additional message manipulation or processing before it reaches the service. In our case, we just want to demonstrate that the message contains an attachment. We'll use a few lines of simple SAAJ code to do that:
- First, add the Java import statements in Listing 5 to the top of the class:
Listing 5. The import statements
import javax.xml.namespace.QName; import javax.xml.rpc.handler.GenericHandler; import javax.xml.rpc.handler.MessageContext; import javax.xml.rpc.handler.soap.SOAPMessageContext; import javax.xml.soap.AttachmentPart; import javax.xml.soap.SOAPMessage; import java.util.Iterator;
- Next add our implementation of the
handleRequestmethod to the class by adding the code shown in Listing 6 to the body of the class:
Listing 6. The handleRequest method
public boolean handleRequest(MessageContext mc) { System.out.println("entering handleRequest"); SOAPMessageContext smc = (SOAPMessageContext)mc; SOAPMessage sm = smc.getMessage(); Iterator attachments = sm.getAttachments(); if (!attachments.hasNext()) { System.out.println("No Attachments"); } else { System.out.println("Has Attachments"); while (attachments.hasNext()) { AttachmentPart attachment = ( AttachmentPart)attachments.next(); System.out.println("Attachment Type is: " + attachment.getContentType()); } } System.out.println("exiting handleRequest"); return true; }
You'll see that our simple handler examines the SOAPMessage and looks for
AttachmentParts, outputting the mime type of any attachments found.
- Save and Close the AttachmentIBMHandler.java file.
Now you've added the handler to the project, but you also need to configure the project to use the handler at runtime. You do this by adding a handler section to the webservices.xml class as follows:
- Navigate to the WebContent=>WEB-INF folder and right-click webservices.xml, then select Open with => Web Services Editor.
- From the Handlers tab, click Add in the Handlers section.
- In the Class Browser dialog, type
AttachmentIBMHandlerin the Browse for a Java class field, then select the ibm.attachment.handler package from the Qualifiers field, and click OK, as shown in Figure 13:
Figure 13. The AttachmentIBMHandler in the Class Browser
- In some early versions of Application Developer, there is a bug in the editor that fails to show the
Handlerclass in the Handlers section, though it has been added to the file. Save and close the editor and we'll check to see that the add process worked.
- Re-open the webservices.xml file by right-clicking webservices.xml and selecting Open with => Web Services Editor.
- On the Handlers tab, you should see the handler listed in the Handler section, as shown in Figure 14:
Figure 14. Handler added
- Close the XML editor.
- In order to see exactly what was added to the webservices.xml file, we'll open the file in the text editor. Right-click webservices.xml and select Open with => XML Source Page Editor. You'll see that a three-line handler section has been added to the document in the
port-componentsection, as shown in Figure 15:
Figure 15. View of webservices.xml
- Close the editor. The service project is now finished and should like Figure 16:
Figure 16. The finished project
Publish to the server
Sometimes, when changing a project's deployment descriptors, the server may not notice that a change has been made. In order to deploy the changes to the server, go to the Servers tab, right-click the WebSphere server, and select Publish. It may take a moment for the publish to complete.
Create a client from a WSDL file
Now that we've completed the service, we'll generate a client project to test our new Web service. We could test our Web service using the Web Services Explorer in Application Developer, but a generated client project contains code that can be used as a model for invoking a Web service. In addition, the generated client project produced by the Application Developer Client Generation wizard serves as a good example of a design for a client project.
Generate Web service client components
We'll use the same wsdl file from our Web service project to generate the new client project with Application Developer tooling.
- In the AttachmentService, right-click AttachmentIBM.wsdl, and click Web Services => Generate Client. In the Web Service Client dialog, select Java Proxy from the Client proxy type field, check Overwrite files without warning, and click Next, as shown in Figure 17:
Figure 17. Web Service Client dialog
- In the Web Service Selection page, accept the default (the wsdl file you selected) and click Next, as shown in Figure 18.
Figure 18. The Web Service Selection page
- In the Client Environment Configuration page, type
AttachmentClientin the Client project field and accept the default for the ear file. Click Next, as shown in Figure 19:
Figure 19. Client Environment Configuration page
- In the Web Service Proxy page, accept the default values and click Finish, as shown in Figure 20:
Figure 20. The Web Service Proxy page
- When the wizard finishes processing you'll see the new AttachmentClient project under Dynamic Web Projects. Open this project and expand all the folders to see what was generated by the wizard, as shown in Figure 21:
Figure 21. The wizard output
ibm.attachment package under the JavaSource folder contains a number of important classes:
- AttachmentIBM.java - This is a Java Interface that represents the service itself and provides a declaration of its operations.
- AttachmentIBMBindingStub.java - This class implements the
AttachmentIBMinterface. The code in this class binds to and invokes the Web service.
- AttachmentIBMProxy.java - This class is used to retrieve an instance of the Web service. The code in this class first does a JNDI lookup to see if it can get an instance of the service. If no service is found, it uses the
AttachmentIBMServiceLocatorclass to get an instance of the service for it.
- AttachmentIBMService.java - This Java interface defines the methods used to locate the service. It's implemented by the
- AttachmentIBMServiceLocator.java - This class contains the code that locates the service and returns an instance of the AttachmentIBM service.
Another interesting file is AttachmentIBM_mapping.xml located under WebContent => WEB-INF. This file serves the same function as the file of the same name in the AttachmentService project: it describes the mappings from the XML stream to the Java types declared in the method signature of the service operation. Once again, the content of this file is rather cryptic, but the rules for constructing these mappings are described in the JAX-RPC specification
Add a test JSP file
There's one last thing we need to do before we can test the Web service. We need to provide some code that uses the generated
AttachmentIBMProxy to communicate with our Web service. This function is provided by a simple JSP file has accompanies this exercise. we'll describe the procedure for importing that code into the client project, but we'll also list the code so that it can be put into your own JSP if you prefer.
- In the AttachmentClient project, navigate to the WebContent folder, right-click it, and selectimport => File System => Next.
- In the Import dialog, browse to the folder in which you placed the sample code and select the AttachmentIBMTest.jsp file, then cllick Finish, as shown in Figure 22:
Figure 22. The wizard output
In case you'd rather provide your own JSP, Listing 7 shows the simple code that we put in our sample JSP:
Listing 7. A sample JSP
<%@page contentType="text/html;charset=UTF-8"%><HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Attachment Test </TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <H1>FedTest</H1> <jsp:useBean id="sampleAttachmentProxyid" scope="session" class="ibm.attachment.AttachmentIBMProxy" /> <% try { String imageFileName = "c:/temp1/fed.jpg"; String zipFileName = "c:/temp1/fed.zip"; javax.activation.FileDataSource fds = new javax.activation.FileDataSource(zipFileName); javax.activation.DataHandler dh = new javax.activation.DataHandler(fds); java.awt.Toolkit toolkit = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(); java.awt.Image image = toolkit.createImage(imageFileName); sampleAttachmentProxyid.sendAttachments("Body Text", "Text Attachment", image, dh); } catch (Exception e) { %> Exception: <%=e.toString() %> <% } String doneString = "Done"; %> <%=doneString %> </BODY> </HTML>
It's important that the names and location of the jpg file and zip file referred to in the body of the jsp file match the names and locations to which you deployed those files in the first step of this exercise.
The AttachmentClient project is now complete. The contents of the project should match Figure 23:
Figure 23. The final project
Test the service with the generated client
In this section, we'll test the service and view the output.
Start the test
- In order to ensure that the server is ready for testing, it's a good idea to rebuild the workspace. To do this, select Project => Clean, then select Clean all projects and click OK.
- Once again, you should deploy the changes to the server. Go to the Servers tab, right-click the WebSphere server and click Publish.
- To start the test, right-click on the AttachmentIBMTest.jsp file in the AttachmentClient project and select Run=>Run on Server.
- In the Select a Server dialog, select the WebSphere server and click Finish, as shown in Figure 24:
Figure 24. The server selection page
This will open a browser and you'll see the output from the JSP appear in the browser. Since the JSP file invokes the AttachmentIBMProxy before it displays output, the results of the test should appear in the Console tab shortly after the browser shows the output from the JSP. In other words, you don't have to click anything on the browser in order for the test to complete.
View the output
Click the Console tab to see the output from the test, as shown in Figure 25:
Figure 25. The output from the test
The output shows that the handler examines the SOAP message, finds our three attachments, and outputs the mime type of each one. Then you see the output from the Web service that displays the two strings, one from the message body and one from the attachment, some properties of the image, and the fact that a zip attachment was present. (It's not in the scope of this paper to work with the DataHandler class that contains the zip file.)
In this paper we described a technique for creating a Web service that can receive a SOAP message containing attachments, in addition to the normal content contained in the body of the message. In this simple example, the service received a text message in the body, and a text message, a jpeg file and a zip file as attachments. We then ran the application on a test server and observed the output.

FOOL ON THE HILL: An Investment Opinion
In the midst of a high tech cash crunch, Yahoo!'s ad sales are noticeably down. But even if Yahoo!'s customer base temporarily has to hold back on its marketing expenditures, the company has the diversified revenues and cash to ride out the dry time.
Last Thursday I wrote a Rule Maker column about Yahoo! (Nasdaq: YHOO) that provoked a small (below average, actually) amount of hate-mail. My favorite reads, in part:
"Every time I read Motley Fool, it gets more ridiculous. The Fool now has an endless supply of young naive writers like you who either bash companies to death or drool all over them without objectivity or critical comment, like you did with Yahoo! How can a reader take such a fawning, one-sided piece seriously... Do you realize how out-of-touch you look?"
Ah, my adoring public. :)
I'm always amused by email insisting "that last column destroyed your credibility." I get these at least once a week, and they're loads of fun. I write for The Motley Fool. We wear silly hats to press conferences and have been known to caper in public. Every April 1 we unapologetically pull a gigantic hoax. Our goal is to teach people to think for themselves when it comes to managing their money, and on a regular basis somebody gets upset that they might actually have to evaluate what one of our columns has to say, and decide for themselves whether or not they agree with it.
If people are upset that writers wearing multi-colored hats with bells on them aren't divine oracles spouting infallible truth, I hope somebody puts an "adult access" block on CNBC for them. The Motley Fool is supposed to make you think. The last thing we need around here is credibility interfering with the learning process.
That said, what made this email stand out is that its author actually got around to making a point eventually. Yahoo!'s ad sales are in sorry shape, as evidenced by the fact that if you reload www.yahoo.com about 10 times the banner ad will be for Yahoo! itself maybe seven of those times. The vast majority of Yahoo's ad space on its main page is apparently going unsold. How can I be bullish on Yahoo! if it can't sell advertising?
Strangely enough, I have an answer to this one. It's not THE answer, it's just MY answer. A semi-educated guess, one Fool rushing in. The answer is another question: "Who normally advertises on Yahoo!?"
The main purpose of banner ads is to drive traffic to somebody's website, so the companies that take out banner ads tend to have websites. Those who use banner ads as their primary form of advertising are often Internet companies.
The first six months of this year have seen a major and specific crash in a lot of high-tech Internet stocks. My guess as to the trigger is that after Microsoft discontinued its stock buyback plan in January (due to a merger invoking certain SEC regulations), the dilution from its massive option grants to employees and uncertainty over the antitrust trial dragged the stock down 50% over the next six months. The "halo effect" from this dragged down the valuations of the entire market segment, even companies like Red Hat (Nasdaq: RHAT) and VA Linux (Nasdaq: LNUX), which look to profit from Microsoft's pain and which are experiencing sustained triple-digit growth.
This has affected more than just stock prices, it has stifled initial public offerings of smaller companies. LinuxCare has nearly collapsed after it staffed up in anticipation of IPO funding and then canceled its IPO at the last minute due to changing market conditions. Without the cash from that IPO, it couldn't organize new revenue streams fast enough to pay for the increased fixed costs before it ran out of cash and wound up laying off many of the new hires. The sad thing is there wasn't anything fundamentally wrong with its business; it just got sucker-punched by badly timed growth leading to a simple lack of liquidity.
With high-tech IPOs out of fashion for a moment, even small pre-IPO start-ups suddenly face a cash crunch. Most venture capitalists are loath to fund a business in the absence of a clear exit strategy. No IPO in the future, no seed money today.
Even healthy small high-tech companies that have money in the bank become cautious about spending it in these circumstances. Suddenly, they MUST fund from operations, and they have no ready supply of investment capital. If they drain their savings, that's it. Hectic expansion is a lot more nerve-wracking without a stock market or venture capitalist to bail you out.
Wandering back to Yahoo!'s advertising, remember that Yahoo! has more Web traffic than any other site. This makes it the most valuable (and hence some of the most expensive) advertising space on the entire Internet. But it also means it needs more advertising customers than anybody else to fill up all the banner hits it serves.
If high tech companies everywhere have been suffering a (real or perceived) funding crunch and the resulting timidity about spending their reserves and expanding without a safety net, what's the first thing they're likely to cut back on? Marketing expenses, like banner ads. And hence, Yahoo!'s surfeit of "house ads" for Yahoo! Mail and such.
If this is the case, then it really doesn't say anything bad about Yahoo! It hasn't become less desirable, its customer base is simply spending less in the short term. In the long term, that customer base still has to advertise to attract and retain customers, and Yahoo! is the greatest single source of eyeballs on the whole of the Net. Yahoo! has the cash to ride out a dry time for ad revenues, especially since it has diversified to other sources of funding like shopping and online bill paying. Perhaps it will end up dropping its ad prices to lure timid customers back, but most likely the capital crunch in the high tech industry will blow over soon.
If you don't agree with this assessment, by all means flame away. Don't forget to imply that the rest of the world will simultaneously come to the same conclusion you have and boycott all future Fool content. And by all means include the word "amateur" as if it's a bad thing, and an admonishment along the lines of "get off your butt and go talk to real people in the real world, instead of writing your star-struck fantasies."
I think I might frame that last one.

Freddie Mercury to return in hologram form? Strange, given that Roger Taylor was widely reported as saying back in the Spring that he had no interest in appearing alongside a hologram of his great friend, but it seems that the surviving members of Queen are nevertheless pressing ahead with plans to have the legendary front man appear with them to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their musical 'We Will Rock You.' The decision appears to be being led by big-haired entrepreneur and sometime smoking riff conjuror Brian May who has been chatting to BBC News at length about plans to bring back Freddy in a manner similar to Tupac Shakur's emergence on the stage at Coachella last month alongside Dr Dre and Snoop Dogg.May did confess however that he was a little annoyed at having been beaten to the virtual punch by the rapper, saying "It's a little unfortunate they did that thing with Tupac as we've been trying to make Freddie appear on the stage for quite a while," and adding "[That technique] is something we've looked at ourselves but I think probably for a show that runs eight shows a week it's not really quite practical." Of course we'd like to point that Take That beat them both to the punch by having a hologram Robbie Williams perform as part of 'Could It Be Magic' back on their 2006 tour. And he wasn't even dead! Now that is decadence.source: http://www.contactmusic.com/news/freddie-mercury-hologram-will-it-be-better-than-tupac_1328179

Serbian testicle chef offers world "good balls"
By Ljilja Cvekic
GORNJI MILANOVAC, Serbia (Reuters Life!) - First he helped found the World Testicle Cooking Festival in his hometown south of Belgrade. Now Ljubomir Erovic is seeking to spread his enthusiasm for eating testicles in a new recipe book.
"I wanted to make something that we could be known by...to make a Serbian brand, not to be famous only for bombs, sanctions or corruption," Erovic said at a friend's inn in the wooded hills of central Serbia.
Rich in testosterone, the politely nicknamed "white kidneys" have been considered a strong aphrodisiac and in some countries are believed to cure impotence if eaten on a regular basis. Even the ancient Greeks believed that eating sheep's testicles before battle made a man stronger, Erovic says.
"Testicles have been a delicacy in Serbia and elsewhere for as long as anyone can remember," Erovic said. "The world had to be offered good balls."
At the Gornji Milanovac's testicle-eating festival each May, chefs come from Greece, Hungary, Finland, Norway and as far away as Australia to grill, goulash or make pies out of testicles from some 15 different types of animals, including bulls, pigs, sheep, horses, kangaroos and ostriches.
Erovic's electronic cookbook subtitled "Cooking with Balls" offers suggestions on how to cook on a grill or stove with various spices such as fresh rosemary, yarrow, thyme and basil, grapes and wine. The book sells for about six pounds ($10).
For some recent visitors at a small cottage belonging to a friend Erovic prepared testicles in bechamel sauce and testicle goulash. He also played guitar and told stories to guests.
The sheep testicles were sliced and cooked together with liver, intestines and kidneys, a grass which he refused to name, fresh red grapes and dry white wine. The dish was rich in taste, compact in structure but softer than kidneys with a flavor that recalled venison. Continued...
