Writer J.K. Rowling hinted Thursday that she may not stop at seven books about the adventures of the young wizard and may write a further installment featuring the adult Harry.
In a live Web chat to mark World Book Day, Rowling — who has always insisted she'll write only seven Potter books — was asked by a fan if she intended to write books about Harry after he leaves Hogwarts, the academy for wizards.
"Probably not. But I'll never say never because every time I do I immediately break the vow," she replied.
Rowling, whose wealth was recently estimated at $1 billion, is writing the sixth Potter book. The most recent installment is Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
"I can't say when it will be released because that's down to my publishers," she said. "But it's going really well. I am loving writing it."
She promised the latest book would include more romance for the boy wizard, but hinted he would also face a terrible ordeal. She added that she planned to try a "completely different genre" of writing when she has finished the seventh book, but did not specify.
More than 16,000 Potter fans submitted questions during the hour-long discussion.

Killeen Daily Herald
Security was heightened Monday at Ellison High School following an incident, in which a Killeen Independent School District police officer was stabbed in the leg while breaking up a fight between two students.
The incident occurred around 4:20 p.m. Friday in the bus loop behind the school, where the students were arguing about a personal matter, and the disagreement turned physical, wrote Marvin Rainwater, EHS principal, in the letters sent home to parents with students Monday.
In part, the letter stated, "School has been very quiet today. We do not have any information or reason to believe that further incidents will occur."
As a precaution, "we have additional police officers on campus. Also, all teachers have been directed to remain visible in the hallways and share any concerns immediately with administration.
"For your child's safety, we ask that you advise them to move away from any disruptive situations. When students crowd around a fight, they risk their safety and make it difficult for administrators to swiftly intervene. Please advise your child to inform an administrator if he/she has any information about students who may be involved in any potentially serious situation."
The injured police officer was home Monday recuperating, after he was discharged Saturday afternoon from Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center on Fort Hood, said Bob Massey, the KISD spokesman.
The 15-year-old student accused in the stabbing was transported Friday to Bell County Juvenile Detention Center in Killeen, where juveniles usually stay for 10 days before seeing the judge for appropriate disciplinary action.
The investigation of the case continues, Massey said.

Editor—The sun protection factor (SPF) of a sunscreen is determined after phototesting in vivo at an internationally agreed application thickness of 2 mg/cm2. Yet studies have shown that consumers apply much less than this—typically between 0.5 and 1.5 mg/cm2.1 This has an appreciable effect on protection, with typical application rates achieving a sun protection factor of perhaps one third of that stated on the product.2 This mismatch may be one contributing factor why sunscreens have been reported to be a risk factor in melanoma.3
No international standard on sunscreens specifies dosage criteria for users, although it is assumed to be 2 mg/cm2.4 So it is not surprising that consumers do not know how to apply sunscreens effectively. We suggest here a method that would allow users to apply a quantity of sunscreen that would result in closer agreement between the expected and delivered protection.
The "rule of nines" is used to assess the extent of a patient's burns as a percentage of the patient's body surface area. The "fingertip unit" is used to measure the amount of cream or ointment to be used in dermatology: it is a strip of product squeezed on to the index finger, from the distal crease to the fingertip.
With the rule of nines, the body's surface area is divided into 11 areas, each representing roughly 9% of the total (box). Sunscreen can be applied to each of these areas at a dose of 2 mg/cm2 if two strips of sunscreen are squeezed out on to both the index and middle fingers from the palmar crease to the fingertips. The application of this "two fingers" of sunscreen will provide a dose of the product that approximates to that used during the laboratory determination of the sun protection factor. Such a dosage guide is a means of ensuring that users are protected according to their expectations.
1 Head, neck, and face
2 Left arm
3 Right arm
4 Upper back
5 Lower back
6 Upper front torso
7 Lower front torso
8 Left upper leg and thigh
9 Right upper leg and thigh
10 Left lower leg and foot
11 Right lower leg and foot
Users in fact are unlikely to be willing to cover themselves or their families with such a copious layer of sunscreen and would prefer to apply half this amount. A less daunting proposition, and the one that we suggest, is therefore to apply one finger of sunscreen, with the corollary that the resultant protection would be only about half that stated on the product. Users should be encouraged to reapply one finger's worth within half an hour of the initial application in order to achieve optimal protection.5

A philosophical investigator of the established national superstitions would find excellent types of all of them in the analecta.
Wodrow has an anecdote in his delightful analecta which shall introduce us into our subject to-night.
See the account of a young preacher being deceived in this way, in Wodrow's analecta, vol.
Certain supplementary passages to the latter volume are published in analecta Bollandiana, i. (Paris, 1882).
This usage is established in Rome, and has been confirmed by a decree of the 12th August, 1854, published in the analecta.
A plate of this tombstone may be seen in Falkenstein's analecta Nordgaviensia.
Some additional notices of him are to be found in Wodrow's "analecta," vol.
Wodrow himself has made no allusion to it in his analecta, nor has any subsequent writer noticed it on either side.
1650s, "literary gleanings," from Latinized form of Greek analekta, literally "things chosen," neuter plural of analektos "select, choice," verbal adjective of analegein "to gather up, collect," from ana- "up" (see ana-) + legein "to gather," also "to choose words," hence "to speak" (see lecture (n.)).

The fabrications of iron oxides nanoparticles using co-precipitation and gadolinium nanoparticles using water in oil microemulsion method are reported in this paper. Results of detailed phase analysis by XRD and Mössbauer spectroscopy are discussed. XRD analysis revealed that the crystallite size (mean coherence length) of iron oxides (mainly γ-Fe2O3) in the Fe2O3 sample was 30 nm, while in Fe2O3/SiO2 where the ε-Fe2O3 phase dominated it was only 14 nm. Gd/SiO2 nanoparticles were found to be completely amorphous, according to XRD. The samples showed various shapes of hysteresis loops and different coercivities. Differences in the saturation magnetization (MS) correspond to the chemical and phase composition of the sample materials. However, we observed that MS was not reached in the case of Fe2O3/SiO2, while for Gd/SiO2 sample the MS value was extremely low. Therefore we conclude that only unmodified Fe2O3 nanoparticles are suitable for intended biosensing application
Magnetic nanosized particles have already been known for over 50 years, but research into their potential use in medicine and pharmaceutics is now the hot topic in this domain [
Several methods are generally employed for iron oxide nanoparticle preparation, including co-precipitation [
Recently, more sophisticated Fe2O3 nanoparticles were fabricated where the magnetic core was covered by an amorphous silica shell [
Moreover, it was found that the combination of SiO2 core and protecting coating was useful for designing paramagnetic gadolinium nanoparticles for multimodal contrast agent with optical and magnetic properties [
To prepare Fe2O3/SiO2 nanoparticles, we employed an easy co-precipitation method reported previously by Ichiyanagi
The following process was applied for the fabrication unmodified Fe2O3 magnetic particles: 0.05 M aqueous solution of FeCl2·4H2O was mixed with a solution containing 1g/L of K2CO3 (Penta) under constant stirring up to pH 7, which resulted in the formation of a black precipitate. After washing and separation, the precipitate was dried at 80 °C for 15 min, then finely crushed in an agate mortar and finally treated thermally at 200 °C in air in an oven for 4 hours.
The process of Gd/SiO2 nanoparticles synthesis published recently by Santra
Approximate particle size of samples was determined using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM, model FEI Quantum 200). For SEM analysis, samples were placed on conductive copper sticking tape. The structure of the samples was checked by X-ray diffraction (XRD) using X'PERT diffractometer from PANalytical and CoKα radiation with qualitative analysis carried out by HighScore software and the JCPDS PDF-2 database. For a quantitative analysis of the XRD patterns, we took HighScore plus with Rietveld structural models based on the ICSD database. 57Fe Mössbauer spectra used for phase analysis were measured using 57Co/Rh source in standard transmission at room temperature and in a cryostat down to 28 K. Spectrum calibrations were done using α-Fe standard. The computer processing of the spectra yielded intensities
The obtained Fe2O3/SiO2 and Fe2O3 powders were brownish-black and reddish-brown, respectively, while Gd/SiO2 nanoparticles were orange due to their doping by fluorescent dye, tris(2,2′-bipyridyl) dichlororuthenium(II) hexahydrate. Only Fe2O3 nanoparticles revealed the magnetic properties in water suspension when external magnetic field was applied (
SEM analysis demonstrated that the nanoparticles of all prepared samples have particle sizes below 100 nm (
According to XRD measurement (XRD patterns of all samples are shown in
The phase analysis carried out from the Mössbauer spectrum (
The superparamagnetic behaviour of the maghemite is documented by the measurement of the Mössbauer spectra at various temperatures (shown in
The prepared unmodified Fe2O3 powder consisted of 60 % iron oxide, 30 % of sylvite (KCl) and small portion of amorphous phase. The mean coherence length of iron oxide phase was about 30 nm. Since X-ray powder diffraction cannot distinguish between maghemite and magnetite nanoparticles, Mössbauer spectroscopy analysis was performed to distinguish these crystallographic modifications (
Magnetic hysteresis loops taken at room temperature are shown in
The HL shape of the Fe2O3 nanoparticles corresponds well to an assembly of individual magnetic particles with mutual dipolar interaction. The value of magnetic moment at 10 kOe is about 35 emu/g. Taking into account the results of phase analysis, i. e. the contents of sylvite (∼30% according to XRD) and (super)paramagnetic phase (∼25% from Mössbauer spectrum), we can roughly estimate the moment of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles to be 66 emu/g. This is a comparable value to that reported in [
The HL parameters of GdIII/SiO2 sample are the moment of 0.23 emu/g at 10 kOe and coercive field of 70±5 Oe. Estimation of the magnetic moment to a pure Gd phase from the expected phase composition given by chemical composition would increase the moment value approximately two times. This is still substantially lower value than the one reported for bulk Gd (139 emu/g) [
In this article we report the synthesis of iron oxides and gadolinium nanoparticles using co-precipitation and water in oil microemulsion methods, respectively. The XRD phase analysis showed interesting differences in development of crystallinity and mean coherent lengths. While in Fe bearing materials crystalline phase peaks were detected, the Gd based sample only showed an amorphous diffraction. The ε-Fe2O3 was found to be the dominating crystalline phase in the Fe2O3/SiO2 sample. This result was confirmed by Mössbauer phase analysis. Maghemite dominated in the unmodified Fe2O3 powder sample. The magnetization curves corresponded to assemblies of individual magnetic particles with mutual dipolar interaction separated by another nonmagnetic phase, e.g. SiO2 and KCl. The samples exhibited clear differences in saturation magnetization which can be ascribed mainly to the different chemical composition and magnetic moments of Fe and Gd and their phases. Since ε-Fe2O3 phase did not reach a particle size where its shape and magnetocrystalline anisotropies cause high coercivity, one of the objectives in future work will be to increase the coercive force, as well as the amount of this phase by prolongation of sample annealing time.
We found that only the Fe2O3 sample is suitable for practical medical applications due to its sufficiently high value of saturation magnetization and attraction to magnet ability. Despite the fact that this material does not consist of one phase, it can be used for biosensing purposes

The book prescription scheme is getting under way at the Guille-Alles Library, in conjunction with the Health and Social Services department.
The scheme will allow doctors to prescribe self-help books for patients.
The project, first piloted in Cardiff, is being launched on Thursday by two local clinical psychologists.
Once a book is prescribed the patient will then visit the Guille-Alles Library and borrow the recommended book for up to three weeks.
If the book proves useful, then the patient has the option of renewing the library book or buying a copy for more advice.

Only 35 days remain until the Feb. 18 trade deadline.
Unless the Jazz do something sooner, that means only 35 more days of Carlos Boozer trade talk.
Because of his expiring $12.8 million contract and a public declaration last summer that he expected to be traded, Boozer's name will continue to be prominently mentioned in trade-related stories over the next five weeks.
In the last two days, Boozer has been connected to trades scenarios involving Detroit and Dallas.
"It doesn't matter to me," he said before practice Wednesday. "If you play in the NBA, there are going to be very few times throughout the course of a season where you aren't going to be [mentioned] in a trade rumor, especially with the deadline coming up.
"Me personally, I don't worry about that. I've been in a whole bunch of trade rumors my whole career, especially when I left Cleveland. So for me, I just play. I don't worry about. I don't think about it. I'm just enoying the game right now."
All along, coach Jerry Sloan has talked of keeping Boozer and seeing how the Jazz's season plays out instead of trading him -- most likely for less than market value because of the circumstances.
Ten more days?
The Jazz must decide by the end of the week if they want to sign point guard Sundiata Gaines to another 10-day contract.
It's likely, considering how well Gaines has played since being called up from the Idaho Stampede of the NBA Development League.
In four games, Gaines averages three points and 1.5 assists. He's also played well defensively. Gaines has gotten a better-than-expected chance to play (9.3 minutes) because of injuries to Deron Williams and Ronnie Price .
Full strength
The Jazz expect to have all 13 players available for Thursday night's game against LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.
C.J. Miles missed the victory over Miami with a viral infection. He did not attend practice but is expected to play against the Cavs.
Sloan hinted he could tighten his wing rotation a little, given the recent play of Kyle Korver and Andrei Kirilenko 's bid for more minutes. Miles could be the odd-man-out.
Gaines has gotten a better-than-expected chance to play (9.3 minutes) because of injuries to Deron Williams and Ronnie Price .
"He's done a good job," Sloan said. "He's got to play some because D-Will and Ronnie were out. Usually, those situations to come up. ...
"But he came in and bounced right into it. He's been very professional about what he's trying to do. So we'll see what happens."
According to Sloan, Gaines "... does what he's asked to do. He picks up stuff really quick. He's been well-coached."
Gaines had seven points and one assist in 11 minutes in Monday's 118-89 win over Miami.
"Things have been going pretty good," he said. "My teammates have embraced me real well and the games I've come pretty far. I'm learning the plays. I just have to take things a day at a time and let everything else run its course."

Pascal's Wager
Pascal's Wager, put in its most famous form by the brilliant French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal, is one of the most common and one of the most logically flawed arguments used by evangelists to convince atheists to believe. It is properly conceived as an argument for belief in God rather than as an argument for the existence of God. In essence, it goes:
- Either God exists or He does not.
- If there is no God, whether you believe in God or not, then there is no afterlife.
- If there is a God, and you believe in God, you go to Heaven.
- If there is a God, but you do not believe in God, you go to Hell.
- By statements 2-4, if you approach belief as a wager, betting on God's existence is a win-draw proposal: either you gain eternal bliss or end up with nothing like all other players.
- By statements 2-4, if you approach belief as a wager, betting on God's nonexistence is a draw-lose proposal: either you end up with nothing like all other players, or you suffer eternal hellfire.
- Therefore, belief is the superior choice from a wagering perspective.
The reason why Pascal's Wager is so flawed should be obvious upon a little examination. There are two ways to look at the argument, each with its own problems: assess statements 1-4 as assumed premises, 5-6 as inferences, and 7 as a conclusion, or else assess 1 as an assumed premise, 2-6 as inferences, and 7 as a conclusion.
In the first approach, it rests entirely upon four assumptions that are highly contestable. Premises 3-4 are essentially a statement of Christian belief, which means the only people that will accept them are Christians. Thus, the argument reduces to "if you are a Christian, then belief in God is superior from a wagering perspective," a rather useless tautology that results in an argument that only convinces the convinced. Further, premises 2-4 commit the fallacy of bifurcation: they state that there are only two possibilities when there are in fact more. In this case, it posits that either the Christian model is true or the secular humanist one is. However, many other options come to mind. For instance, if Al-Lah is in fact God, then both the believing Christian and the atheist may find themselves doomed to eternal hellfire.
In the second approach, inferences 2-4 derive information from nowhere. All that is assumed is that God either does or does not exist. This says nothing about whether God saves His followers and condemns the infidel, or whether there is a God who rewards the skeptics and punishes the sheep, or whether there is a God who rewards all, or any number of other possibilities. Because of this, inferences 2-4 are not logically connected to premise 1, thus committing a fallacy of non sequitur. It has also been noted that the Christian God, being omniscient would know the difference between true faith and a wagering belief to hedge one's bets. A valid Christian objection to this, however, is that Pascal's Wager serves as a method to bring about faith, at which point God reveals Himself to the believer and thus brings about a true faith.
This essay is based on an older version which I had hosted on my website for some time, and is also deeply indebted to the Pascal's Wager section of the alt.atheism FAQ. –C.J. 2004.

Delonghi as a brand name and I go back a few years together however, namely in their range of heaters; from fan heaters to convection heaters, their products have never let me down and whenever they are needed, go from the moment they are switched on. Delonghi heaters also have well written user manuals and easy to understand controls, so I assumed it would be the same with their kitchen appliance range.
** This is a long review **
The Delonghi Easitronic Microwave with a grill is priced currently at £54-99. Whilst this may a cheap price to many, the actual look of the microwave is painted in silver metallic and has an oval window designed to obviously fit in with today's more modern kitchens; the design is still growing on me even though I'm far from enjoying the oval window that covers a square window when the light comes on not to mention the bent waves of the design that looks like it could come from the home of Chris Bangle and his BMW wave formula. From the moment I lifted it out of the box, the Delonghi has a good organic design to it, but it is let down by cheap looking writing on the controls even though I do like the rotary wheel control dial that allows you to either adjust the cooking time or power settings when the additional button for each setting is also pushed by black plastic/chrome like buttons that don't feel expensively made. Closer inspection reveals poor panel fit between the door and main control panel; a painted white interior (stainless steel is a lot easier to clean) that is more likely needed to be wiped down after use due to its white interior and a strangely misplaced glass turntable dish that takes some time for it to adjust itself to turn around properly when the microwave is first used. Indeed the first hurdle I had was unpacking everything, from polystyrene strips to plastic corners and then easing the peel easy adhesive warning labels not to mention seals around the door, obviously to keep everything intact in the box before sale. The weight of this oven is also too heavy for my liking. Both Argos and the box state that the weight of the box is in excess of 20kg and the oven itself is around 12 to 13kg.
So in use the controls that are supposed to be easy are okay for the more basic approaches to microwave use but it can be tricky if you are used to a more qualitable brand such as Panasonic, particularly with lit icons that appear in the LED panel. Whilst it's easy to fathom how to set the clock either by 24 hour or 12 hour choices using the buttons and then the rotary controls, Delonghi may well sell this model on the continent as the decals used in cooking are difficult to understand. Whereas the heating icons are easy to see what they are they for, I found it hard to find out which icon explained the defrost function, made worse by the fact that the Delonghi has two defrost functions; a multi-defrost cooking program and something called "Jet Defrost," which would by assumption of its name would suggest an easy to use program - yet when selected it is difficult to fathom which defrost function I've picked. When cooking or defrosting starts up, the whole LED panel is lit up in orange with waves to show that the oven is operating - rather like a smiling face emerging - not really needed here - but those who love flashing LED's will surely approve of the solitary orange colourings. A warning beep of five repeats signals the end of cooking as well as intermittent beeps if you leave the food in the microwave thereafter. Not annoying however as the digital beep it emits isn't ear piercing. There is also a handy child lock function built in which is a boon for families and young children and the Delonghi also tells you that cooking has finished simply by showing "end" in large capital letters.
The noise of the actual motor is quiet though and compares favourably to my parents more expensive combination Panasonic oven, of which its size apes the Delonghi. Measuring approximately 26cm high and a width of 45cm, I find that the Delonghi is quite a compact, squat model and has a 20 litre capacity which could suggest being okay for two people maximum or with a young child. It has a one year guarantee and of course from Argos you can spend a little more over £10 to have an extra three years should anything go wrong.
One of the aspects I was looking for is the more up to date power levels that are constantly marked on frozen and ready meals, or instant porridge and other instant foods that require a microwave. So it's good that the oven offers 800 watts with 5 variable power heat settings including the two defrost functions, Express cooking facility, 10 pre-sets of auto cook programs, the aforementioned grill setting that offers 1000 watts of browning quality and a 60 minute digital time through the well precision and oiled rotary control. It takes around 10 to 15 minutes for the grill to heat up on its maximum level; whilst I don't mind using the grill in the bigger fan assisted multi oven in the kitchen, I do like the fact that at least, the Delonghi is at chest level and can therefore be used with less mess and easier access than having to bend down when grilling food if you have an oven below a hob; however when it came to cooking bacon and browning it, I found it does take a lengthy time of it, much more than it would take than with an oven that has the same grill element simply because of its bigger surface area; cleaning the grill in Delonghi is relatively easy but thanks to its permanent set grid, I'm never convinced that the grid is completely clean after use.
There are more downsides too and they are obvious from the moment of use if you challenge the oven with its auto cook programs. Now call me old fashioned but I'm used to auto cook programs that when selected show what they do on the LED panel, or at best hope to find a guide somewhere on the microwave control panel itself. Not with this Delonghi though! You have to look up the user manual to see what functions do what and that's where the trouble begins. Normally whenever I've used their heater user manuals, they are clear, short to the point and give good diagrams. However, this microwave's oven manual consists of three manuals; one general microwave user manual, a manual for the grill function and a further manual that serves as a small recipe booklet that also includes a handy vegetarian section. God help you if you lose one of the manuals! This would be of great benefit to many if the actual user manual for general use could mimic the same quality of the other two manuals. For a start the main manual is difficult to read, printed on poor quality paper that feels like it could rip if you exert pressure on it or try to glance quickly whilst the page numbers are out of sync with what features are available. Take for example, looking up the defrost function; the manual states to look at a double page number, so I got there and was taken to the troubleshooting section with no clear indication or mention of the Defrost mode.
Diagrams are also willfully short and look as if they have been drawn by a child whilst the quality of the wording shows up the budget aspirations Delonghi have clearly been drawn to. In this case whether Delonghi want to admit that Cookworks and Argos have some involvement going (Cookworks have an oven that similar in the same look and microwave function only on sale in Argos) or not, the user manual is nothing qualitable and comes as a complete shock compared to their heater manuals.
On all of the heat settings it easy to select anything I need to reheat, cook or even defrost but it does take some time to work out the silly and poorly written diagrams in the manual. And its price is reflected not just in the poorly written user manuals but also in the fact that although the grill offers a browning aspect, Delonghi include a rather high grill platform of which it relies on the support of the glass plate. Now whilst I'm no scientist, it would be more helpful if Delonghi had offered a splash plate to fit over the glass plate as well as offering protection if say the grill only function gets too hot and the tempered glass doesn't crack - the feet for the grill plate are also very cheap and can bend easily when washing. Other downsides is that the glass plate doesn't sit well on its turntable point when cooking generally; when something is taken out, the plate comes off the wheels and has to be realigned unless you gently lift the food out of the oven - and in this day and age when a microwave is supposed to offer quick cooking - it is annoying that the plate doesn't flush fit.
Cleaning however isn't difficult; thanks to its white painted interior, a wipe with a damp cloth is all that is needed to keep the interior clean whilst the glass plate is reasonably lightweight enough to be lifted out as well as being dishwasher safe. The turntable point can also be picked out to clean under as well the main triad of wheels even though the arms are cheap feeling and don't look as if they will last.
Which sums up the Delonghi in a nutshell; this is an ideal first time buyers microwave if you are moving on from the mechanical ting-a-ling bell microwave and want something which is easier to control. However although it cooks well and does it with little noise, the controls and user manuals need a little more thought. For most however, a microwave with a grill under £55 that ticks most boxes should suffice.
What a pity Delonghi don't even show their microwaves on their UK website; a sign that clearly tells the story that the model with the badge may well be from someone else and from a recent email to Delonghi, they admit that this oven is not their own but a contract with Argos. So even with its name on the model, this isn't really a Delonghi - I suspect that if it was really a Delonghi model built by Delonghi, it would prove be a lot easier to use and without having to look up the manual for its auto cook functions.

And his big mouth would undoubtedly get Romney into trouble.
But even that felt tainted: To her colleagues, Simpson writes, she got the job "because of affirmative action and my big mouth."
So other than a stunted television career and a big mouth, what does Wilmer Valderrama have going for him?
His new book, God Bless America: Misadventures of a big mouth Brit has just been published.
Indeed the legs of the last one he tried to swallow stuck out of one corner of his big mouth.
"You are hungry," he said, as he expanded his big mouth and grinned pleasantly.
There was something about his big mouth and his dogged scowl which made this prophecy seem likely of fulfilment.
Again his hand went to his beard and his big mouth opened in meditation.
If you'll be so kind as to shut that big mouth of yours, I'll explain!
"If you'll just close that big mouth of yours, I'll explain," he said.

What Big Boi Drives
He's got fourteen cars to choose from, but when he wants to cruise, he's behind the wheel of a 1964 Chevrolet Impala lowrider.
I own about fourteen cars, but right now I'm driving a '64 Impala. I'm working on some new music, and this car just takes me back. It's classic. And the sound system in it is crazy. I've got four six-by-nines in the back window and two twelves in the trunk. I redid the carpet in there crimson red, and I have the old-school amps in the floor, so nobody can sit in the backseat. It has hydraulic switches, but they kept tearing up the driveshaft, so I had to take them off. So it's really just a loooow-riiiide-uhhh. I'm in the process of building another house because I've run out of garage space.

Krzysztof Grzymski
Senior Curator ( Egypt & Nubia)
Area: World Cultures, Ancient Cultures
Phone: 416-586-5634
M.A., Archaeology, University of Warsaw, Poland, 1976
Ph.D., Archaeology, University of Calgary, AB, 1981
Born in Kalisz, Poland, Krzysztof Grzymski studied Mediterranean archaeology at the University of Warsaw and African archaeology at the University of Calgary. Since joining the ROM in 1984 his activities have encompassed three different streams: field archaeology, museum curatorship and university teaching. Krzysztof's field projects are carried out in Egypt and in Sudanese Nubia. Of special note is the rescue excavation of the Graeco-Roman town Pelusium (Tell el-Farama) in response to the appeal of the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities. Krzysztof co-directed the joint Canadian-Egyptian project with J. Anderson and M. Abd el-Maksoud. Carried out over two field campaigns in 1993 and 1994, the project explored the domestic and industrial remains of this important port of Greco-Roman Egypt.
His curatorial activities include developing the Egyptian and Nubian galleries, opened in 1992, and curating special exhibitions such as the Gold of Meroe (1994), Egyptian Art in the Age of the Pyramids (2000), and Eternal Egypt: Masterworks of Ancient Art from The British Museum (2004). As a teacher, Krzysztof is particularly proud of offering courses in Egyptian and Nubian archaeology and culture at the University of Toronto and supervising the successful completion of several doctoral dissertations.
Fieldwork at Pelusium has been funded by grants from the ROM Governors and the Canada Fund for Local Initiatives.

The Science and Law of Assisted Reproductive Technologies
Monday, June 23, 2014
American University Washington College of Law
4801 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington DC
6th floor Student Lounges
Over the past thirty-five plus years, since the birth of the world's first IVF baby, ongoing medical advances in assisted reproductive technologies have raised novel and challenging legal questions. The growing involvement of third-party participants—including sperm and egg donors and gestational surrogates—and rapidly expanding use of the ARTs by single patients and same-sex couples, adds to these challenges. In this lunchtime program, Professor Susan Crockin will provide the legal and policy context in which ART is being developed, and Dr. Eric Widra will provide an overview of the varied procedures of ART that are available today, with a particular focus on third-party reproduction.

Dear Carolyn • Our son wants to join the military and his dad is vehemently against it. It is causing a lot of anguish in our household. Our son agreed to attend college for a year and postpone talking about it. That school year is up and he still wants to join. I know my husband's attitude is rooted in fear for his child, and I share that fear. However, I think my son should be able to make his own choices and live his own life. It is very stressful for his siblings and it is straining our marriage. How do we get across this bridge with our family intact?
Torn Between Husband and Son
Dear Torn • Why hasn't your son just enlisted? If your husband would be willing to consider it, I suggest marriage counseling, or a reputable marriage seminar, for you two. One thing you can do, while marital help is pending, is explain the following to your husband: Husband had his say and secured Son's cooperation with a cooling-off year. The only emotionally healthy response for Husband at this point is to thank Son for waiting, reiterate any remaining concerns and assure Son that Husband will support Son's right to make his own choices, even if Husband objects to the choices themselves.
Dear Carolyn • A years-long relationship with a man I was sure would be my husband ended badly. Badly, as in, one day he just never spoke to me again. At all. It crushed me, to the point that I sought counseling. Out of the blue, I started hearing from him via email/text many months later. No real apology, no genuine interest in my life just references to old jokes and memories. He knows very well how much he hurt me. I think I know the answer to this question but nothing good can come from entertaining this communication, right? I'm amazed at how long my heart wants to hold on to the notion that a miracle could happen and change that and enjoy the witty banter in the meantime.
Dear Post-Breakup • Cut it off, please, for your own health, and say you're not interested in staying in touch unless and until he's willing to explain what he did.
Carolyn Hax's column runs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Houston Astros 2011 Season Preview
Posted 3/9/2011
The Houston Astros didn't make any major additions or subtractions in the offseason, which means it's going to be a very ugly season.
Outfielder Carlos Lee got off to a terrible start last year but played better in the second half. The Astros are hopeful that he gets out of the gate much quicker in 2011 and returns to being one of the National League's top run producers.
Outside of Lee, it's scary how bad this lineup really is. The outfield isn't bad with Hunter Pence and Michael Bourn, but the infield is an embarassment. The Astros will have to manufacture a lot of runs in 2011.
The team traded ace Roy Oswalt to the Philadelphia Phillies at last year's July 31 deadline, an that's a huge blow to their starting rotation. Wandy Rodriguez is a fine pitcher, but he is no staff ace.
J.A. Happ, the prized jewel of the Oswalt trade, has the ability to be a No. 2 starter. His opportunities were limited in Philadelphia, but he will have plenty of chances to shine with the Astros.
At best, Houston is a lock for a fifth place finish or worse in the division. The Astros very well could finish with baseball's worst record. They have very little talent on the major league club and even less in the farm system, so don't expect a winning team anytime soon.

One-third the area of the United States, the Republic of India occupies most of the subcontinent of India in southern Asia. It borders on China in the northeast. Other neighbors are Pakistan on the west, Nepal and Bhutan on the north, and Burma and Bangladesh on the east.
The country can be divided into three distinct geographic regions: the Himalayan region in the north, which contains some of the highest mountains in the world, the Gangetic Plain, and the plateau region in the south and central part. Its three great river systems—the Ganges, the Indus, and the Brahmaputra—have extensive deltas and all rise in the Himalayas.

One of the earliest civilizations, the Indus Valley civilization flourished on the Indian subcontinent from c. 2600 B.C. to c. 2000 B.C. It is generally accepted that the Aryans entered India c. 1500 B.C. from the northwest, finding a land that was already home to an advanced civilization. They introduced Sanskrit and the Vedic religion, a forerunner of Hinduism. Buddhism was founded in the 6th century B.C. and was spread throughout northern India, most notably by one of the great ancient kings of the Mauryan dynasty, Asoka (c. 269–232 B.C. ), who also unified most of the Indian subcontinent for the first time.
In 1526, Muslim invaders founded the great Mogul Empire, centered on Delhi, which lasted, at least in name, until 1857. Akbar the Great (1542–1605) strengthened and consolidated this empire. The long reign of his great-grandson, Aurangzeb (1618–1707), represents both the greatest extent of the Mogul Empire and the beginning of its decay.

Diane Kruger might have stepped out for a glamorous party on Thursday night, but the actress is taking her jury job at the Cannes Film Festival very seriously.
"I'm not going to go out and get hammered every night," she says, speaking at the Euphoria-Calvin Klein party where she was honored for her film work. "I try to be in bed before midnight."
"I have been on the other side," the actress adds. "So I have to be extra sensitive and keep an open mind. If I had a film here I would not want my jury member to be half-asleep."
Kruger is part of a jury which includes director Alexander Payne, Scottish actor Ewan McGregor and French fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier. The jury members have a regimented schedule, watching two movies a day and deciding on the winner of the festival's highest award, the Palm D'or, on May 27.
"It's all very scheduled. I'm up tomorrow for an 8:30 a.m. screening in the morning," she says.
"It's a little weird being next to the Alexander Payne's of the world," says Kruger, the German actress who starred in Troy and Inglourious Basterds "But it's an interesting mix of people with different points of view."
The group is not supposed to discuss the films they see right away.
"We have our first proper meeting on Saturday to discuss the five movies we will have seen in-depth," she says..
Kruger did manage to have a night out with her boyfriend Joshua Jackson (of the Fox show Fringe) at an elegant French villa on Thursday. And she is able to at least remember her last Cannes Film Festival where she spent a glorious day on a yacht.
"I was with...Who was that guy?" she asks Jackson, trying to recall her yacht story.
"Paul Allen," Jackson responds. "Did you just call him that guy? The one who... did that thing with the computers?"
"I guess I'm not going to be invited back on that one," Kruger responds. "Thanks for throwing me under the bus."

Les Mis - M. Laycock
13 comments:
Thank you for your wonderful post, Marcia. I recently saw Les Misérables as well and, like you, I had the privilege of reading the unabridged novel in college. In fact, I read it in the original French since I was a French major.ReplyDelete
What struck me most about your post was your comment that "our challenge as writers is to echo that reality while pointing to something more." I totally agree. This is the essence of writing fiction as Christians, is it not? We not only echo reality, but we have the privilege of pointing to a higher reality, a reality that supersedes earthly reality. Thank you so much for reminding us of this truth.
Marcia, what a profound statement: "Perhaps we should be striving, rather, to be real, to be raw, to let our voices cry out with the pain and the longing that is universal to all in this world."ReplyDelete
This hurting world desperately needs to see the real and the raw transformed in our lives, not by laws or rules or "getting it just right," but by accepting the hand that reaches into the mire and offers a way of escape.
I saw and loved the movie, also. Looking at it from an unpublished writer's standpoint, I guess I wish they would have given unknown good singers a spot in the cast instead of going for big names that didn't sing well. I thought Anne Hathaway did a fine job, but the two male leads were wanting. And yet, the movie was still very good and your point about being real and raw is well made.ReplyDelete
I also love your saying there is a world beyond the barricade and I love Hugo's setting grace against law. Not every rebel gets to paradise, of course, as the film suggested, but the story is a good one in that it causes the reader/viewer to think about law and grace and redemption and honor and sacrificial love. I think these things are so important and worth writing about and I wish more writers were putting out just such stories.Replies
Sally, love your comment about wishing for talented singers instead of stars. Did you ever see the movie version of MamaMia? My daughter and I attended the Broadway production, absolutely incredible, and then bought the DVD to watch for the memories. We were in NYC, just the two of us, and so many of the songs just struck our sentimental bones. But Pierce Brosnan was not the man to play the lead. I winced just listening to him--agony. And when one must overcome that--when I knew that there were wonderfully capable singers out there--it's easy to lose the meaning and the depth. (Not that MamaMia comes close to Les Mis for depth or spiritual take-away.)Delete
Have not seen MamaMia.Delete
And I should add that I understand the need that studios and publishers have for big names that will draw in buyers. It still makes me sorry. I love Jackman and Crowe. I just didn't love them in this particular movie and I would have loved to have found some new talented people to love.
Thank you SO much, Marcia. I needed this today. Looking forward to seeing the movie soon.ReplyDelete
I so agree with your observations, Marcia. Others commenting before me echoed my thoughts. I hope to see the film. Son and girlfriend went to see it and were impressed. Always enjoy your devotionals here. God continue to bless you and your writing.ReplyDelete
Real and raw. I can be nothing more and you have hit the nail on the head. People are DESPERATE for real and raw...not "based on reality" sit-com Christianity. Thanks Marcia!ReplyDelete
Tears have welled up in my eyes as if I were watching the scenes you described all over again. Fantine's pain is like you said...one the world knows. It is hard to reveal that side of "us". The raw, the hurting, the "ugly". But what a joy when the story ends with hope! Pain without hope is brutal and never ending. Pain with hope is stronger faith.ReplyDelete
I need to be challenged to "go there" with my writing. Thank you so much!
I was trying to explain to someone recently who did not know the storyline how Hugo could be both deeply sad and hopeful at the same time. He wanted to know if it had a "happy ending." Well, yes. And no. And profoundly, yes.ReplyDelete
Marcia, Thanks for posting here. Your words are filled with truth. As writer's we strive so hard to "hit the mark" that sometimes we forget to encompass all that comes along the way--the real, raw, and not so perfect. I love when I read a book that reaches those places and I pray daily that I should be so blessed as to write one...ReplyDelete

I thought Hugh Jackman was incredible! His prayers were tear-jerkers! As a believer it was beautiful to see a man profoundly impacted by God. Even if he hadn't sang a note or had sang badly, which he didn't,one would have been touched by his passion and sincerity. Crowe was weaker, but wondering if people expect more from him than they would have a no-name actor. Being on a big screen with close ups, you really need to have a good actor first,and singing second. The whole production was first class and conveyed Hugo's intent in a fresh way that will hopefully inspire people to ponder the real meaning of life.ReplyDelete
Thanks for all your comments, folks. It's obvious this story and this production struck a chord with many. :) MarciaReplyDelete

That's right, people. Just in time for the North American Halloween, a lot of Capcom related things have gone up!
Perhaps most exciting is some more hands-on thoughts with the 3DS's second analog, now deemed the Circle Pad Pro (stupid name!).
Hands-on with the Nintendo 3DS Circle Pad Pro.
On the more Capcom-specific front, previews for a bunch of games just went up, all of which are looking pretty solid, a couple of which look absolutely stellar!
Resident Evil: Revelations looks fantastic
I don't have a 3DS, but that looks super exciting!
An in-depth look at Dragon's Dogma
A cross between Demon's Souls and Skyrim?
Preview: Fighting gods in Asura's Wrath
Asura's Wrath looks bananas! "Japanese God of War sells it short," though it remains to be seen if the game is as good as Kratos' series.
Capcom also confirmed You can clear save data in Resident Evil: Revelations after some controversy surrounding Mercenaries 3D's persistent, locked save data.
There's even some new coverage on Slant Six's upcoming Resident Evil: Raccoon City, which looks like it could be a pleasant surprise!
Oh, and some Street Fighter X Tekken info and, perhaps, a clue pointing to Megaman in Marvel vs. Capcom 3 not being a pipe dream? ?!?
Oh, and the Wii's lightgun Resident Evil games are getting HD releases on PS3.
So much stuff! I think I covered it all! Happy gaming and happy Halloween. If you have Batman: Arkham City, you should pay Calendar Man a visist! If you don't have the game, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???

About Me
To hear the tiny voice. To let me be me.
When Olga, 4 years, was asked were there other children in the summer cottage trip, Olga said yes, there was Lotta.
I´m playful, curious and get easily exited about little things like funny looking tree or words that taste nice in mouth. I look the world through wide open eyes and I never get tired of admiring the little and grand wonders around me.
Be interested
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I started now because I´m going to need coaches on my trip and I want to meet people who can introduce me their culture and habits and way of living.
Circus, theatre, dance, improvisation, culture, cats, horses, moon, sea, sauna, occasional street art, silence... My newest thing is tubing. (Planking is so out:)It´s like crowling through a small hole in a building or in a chair or in between the steps... We can try that together.
Beside of tubing, I like climbing. Climbing on a tree, on a chinese pole, on a human body. I like to be upside down. Luckily I have found circus. Circus is my life and passion. For me the art of circus is an odd and absurd world where everything can happen. I´m an acrobat and performer in progressive circus group Company Uusi Maailma. That means most of my days I do something to do with circus: I train acrobatics, I teach acrobatics, I check e-mails and write raports and clean the rehearsing space...
Beside of training i like trains. The feeling of staying still but moving.

One Amazing Thing I've Done
I have slept in a cave (nature made), in a snow fort (self-made), in a straw hut (self-made).
The cave wasn´t far from my home in Jyvaskyla and it was incredible experience. With flares inside a rock like dwarfs. The experience of tubing was useful.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach acrobatics, do contact improvisation with you and introduce you the new art of tubing.

Alex Loudon's superb unbeaten 95 saw Warwickshire chase down a target of 382 to clinch a three-wicket victory over Middlesex at Lord's.
The visitors, resuming on 221-3, lost opener Nick Knight for 75, fourth man out with the score on 236-4.
But Loudon, with good support from Neil Carter (17), Dougie Brown (19) and Luke Parker (27no), kept his nerve.
Stuart Clark and Peter Trago both picked up two wickets but Louden and Parker's stand of 63 secured victory.
Victory means Warwickshire have drawn level with Middlesex on points in the Division One table.

Communicating the Code
Effective communication is an important aspect of any social compliance program. Many companies have learned that merely auditing workplaces and remediating violations alone does not solve many of the labor problems found at harvesting, mining and production sites, processing facilities and other workplaces. Ongoing training and communication, capacity building and an emphasis on continuous improvement have been found to be the most effective path to sustaining progress toward greater compliance.
Step 4, Communicate and Train Across Your Supply Chain will discuss the ins and outs of communicating your code and compliance system to a variety of audiences: your own employees, your shareholders, your suppliers, supplier managers and supervisors, workers at facilities throughout the supply chain, governments, workers' organizations, community groups and others. It will also discuss ways to make the code more accessible to stakeholders by avoiding unnecessary technical jargon and providing for translation into multiple languages.

I recall these lyrics:
"They lived a long, long, long, long, long, long time ago, opening back earlier us."
"Tyrannosaurus, tyrannosaurus rex! Sing it! He was the fiercest dinosaur, a be a sign of meat eating carnivore. No (something) could stand up subsequent to cruel tyrannosaurus rex!"
"Color me, I'm a dinosaur, I'm a dinosaur, won't you color me? If you were a dinosaur, what color would you be?"
"Saltopus, one of the first dinosaurs to live on Earth. He be smaller than most chickens, he was faster than the dickens. Saltopus, saltopus, he be small but he came first. Scurrying from bush to bush, surely must be saltopus."
"PTERANODON spells pteranadon! P, he be the pilot of the prehistoric skies. T, he looked terrific when he spread his wings to fly."
"If a brontosaurus come to lunch today..."
And so on. If anyone sheds light on this, I'll be so grateful!

Name of Commissioner:
Character commissioned and series: Penelo, FFXII: Revenant Wings
Links to picture(s) of your commissioned item:
Reference Image:
Only the pants, shoes, top, and gauntlet are by Limebarb. The wig and accessories are of my own creation.
I ordered this in February or March 2008, when I started a weight-loss program because this costume was my gift to myself for my progress. I set my due date as September 10th. I finished paying for it in July 2008, because it was expensive enough for me to get a payment plan. I was originally planning to head into Chicago to get it fitting, but lack of funds/rehearsal schedules would not allow me to leave. So my September date passed... I sent her a new due date and she said it would be finished by that time. That date passed. I didn't receive my costume until the morning of Saturday of Youmacon 2008, which was November 1st 2008. So it took two months past my due date to receive this costume. Due to rehearsal schedules I had canceled my September con, but I was freaking out and worried that it would miss Youmacon, the con I'd set to debut it at nearly TWO MONTHS after my official due date that she said she could make.
Describe your Experience.
I ordered the deluxe version and it came out absolutely beautiful. The shoes were adorable. The pants were a great shape and I really appreciate the work that went into this. I really LOVE this costume.
I ordered the deluxe version and the embroidery I was expecting was not there, as well as the whole thing was too big even though I'd sent her my updated measurements in the beginning of July. My weight and measurements haven't changed since then, I can have my weight-clinic guarantee it. We had to pin the top all funny for it to even fit right instead of baggy. And we had to tape/glue the pants up because they were way too big. The cobblers glue on the shoes was peeling away. Also the flower/ribbon things on the pants were vinyl with ribbon sewn on. I expected at least 3D buttons or something since that's what the picture looks like. Also the details on the pants weren't nearly what a Deluxe version should entail. Also the top had a corseted back, but it was not functional. I would have appreciated that so I could make it smaller, like it should have been. Not only was the top too large, but the front of it was completely wrong. See
reference image, and then compare it to my
photo. Yea... I sent her these images. This was not very deluxe for a deluxe version. It did not even match the references I'd sent her (I've also retained a copy of that email).
As a commissioner myself I can understand schedules going wonky, but when a customer finishes paying for something 3 months ahead of their due date, I usually get it to them with 2 months to spare. I know she had other things to do, but with all the people working there I don't understand why I had to wait two extra months for it. I also did not understand why my new measurements, which she confirmed that she had received, were not followed. Communication was okay. I expected to have slightly better communication than she did, especially since we're more than acquaintances. I'd expect someone I consider a friend to keep in touch with me a bit more when I'm paying her $500 for something. I did not even see progress pictures, I just received a finished project. Also, I'm in the process of losing more weight since I've decided to pursue film, so I probably won't be able to wear this costume ever again... I would NEVER rush a piece for a friend. I would make even more of an effort to uphold my reputation and I would certainly go the extra-mile.
Final Grade: B-
(Beautiful costume but I don't think it was worth the $500 due to wrong sizing when correct measurements were sent and lack of communication, etc.)

How to Heat Syrup
Simple Tip: Heat Syrup in Hot Water
During our girls Winter weekend, my sister made the most delicious corn cakes with spicy sausage for breakfast. Since we were feeding a crowd, it was necessary to heat the entire bottle of maple syrup.
While you can easily heat syrup in the microwave, the best way to heat syrup or ice cream toppings is in a pot of hot water. The temperature gradually increases and no burnt or caramelized crystals form.
Start by filling a large saucepan with water. Loosen the cap on the syrup and gently place the bottle in the water. Heat over medium-high heat, bring the water to a simmer, and warm the syrup. Keep an eye on it to ensure that it doesn't burn.
Got a tip for heating syrup? Please share with us below!

text: Hello, after several weeks with PC-BSD 7.1, I have few remarks concerning user interface of PC-BSD. I'm new to BSD and it's possible that there are trivial solutions for these things, but anyway: 1 - Boot manager, Partition manager, tool for mounting my non-ufs partitions: - when I'm testing new OS, I will create partition on machine with at least one other OS and I won't sacrifice all my files just to format entire HDD to test this OS. So there should be easy-to-use boot manager, partition manager and tool for mounting my partitions. All this should be available when I boot from installation dvd and after install in system menu as well. When new OS seems to be OK, I will eventually increase the size of its partition (this alone is a problem I wasn't able to solve at all). Commont user can't be bothered to search the net for several days just to find tools and information needed to install something that stays on his drive just for few days. 2 - Problems with KDE4: 2a- missing log files in KSystemLog: The file '/var/log/syslog' does not exist. The file '/var/log/daemon.log' does not exist. 2b- KDE information center - section about partitions: I have 4 partitions on my HDD, information center shows 12 partitions, incl. dvd-drive. Without proper description that would make sense. Absolutely useless. 3 - System settings -> System manager -> portsnap function. The progress bar crashes at ca. 60%, nothing happens after this. Always. Manual "portsnap fetch update" works fine. 4 - System settings -> standard applications: - after changing default file manager from dolphin to krusader, the widget showing recently and newly connected removable disks is not working at all. USB stick and card reader that worked fine is not detected anymore. After switching back to dolphin, everything works again. 5 - Automatic (or semi-automatic at least) manager to mount USB sticks, external usb disks and card readers without fiddling in terminal. If there is something like this, it's not working like it should. I had to mount my usb stock manually. 6 - Ports collection: I've installed firefox-3.5.b4,1 ( ports/www/firefox3-devel/). New entry in application launcher -Internet appeared. I have installed Firefox from PBI as well (3.0.10) which I'm using regularly. When I started FF with this new shortcut FF started, but not 3.5. 3.0.10. How can I start 3.5? 7 - how do I remove kopete for example? It's not installed as a package, so pkg_info doesn't shows it, thus pkg_delete is out of question. It would be great if there was some menu with all the installed KDE applications, not just PBIs. So PC-BSD as user friendly system? I can't imagine my wife installing and using it... :-) ----------- dalibor kollar -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

|[jira] Created: (GERONIMO-2856) Placing a gbean and/or EJB in a signed jar causes a SecurityException during deployment and/or runtime
|Tue, 20 Feb 2007 17:23:05 GMT
Placing a gbean and/or EJB in a signed jar causes a SecurityException during deployment and/or runtime ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: GERONIMO-2856 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2856 Project: Geronimo Issue Type: Bug Security Level: public (Regular issues) Components: deployment Affects Versions: 1.1.1 Environment: Geronimo version 1.1.1. I don't believe the OS and hardware are relevant, but this is running under Windows (both XP and server have been tried) Reporter: Yoel Spotts Priority: Minor The issue surrounds Geronimo's usage of proxies and how it relates to signed jars. Thus far, I have encountered two issues in this regard: a) If an EJB is deployed as part of an ear, and the EJB classes are contained in a signed jar within the EAR, the EAR will fail to deploy at all (I have tried to deploy offline, but I doubt deploying online would make a difference). I hope to attach a sample of this (named example-full.ear) which highlights this issue. You will note the EJB classes are located in the signed jar example.jar and the ejb's manifest places example.jar in the classpath, so that the classes are found, but the proxies created for the EJB classes are located out of the signed package, just causing the SecurityException. b) If a Gbean loaded by an EAR (defined in geronimo-application.xml) is placed in a signed jar in the EAR, the EAR will be deployed, but will fail to startup, due to a SecurityException, again b/c of the proxy class created for the gbean. I hope to attach an ear highlighting this issue (named example-partial.ear). Again, the signed example.jar contains a gbean (and again, the ejb's manifest places the example.jar on the classpath) Besides the obvious solution of not signing the jar, it was suggested to try the experimental property: -DXorg.apache.geronimo.gbean.NoProxy=true. I did try that, and it does seem to solve manifestation b) of this issue. However, it won't address part a) above and is still experimental; It does not seem clear what functionality is lost by using this option. A possible resolution might be to create the proxies in a different package than the target classes, which might not cause a SecurityException in that case. Another possible avenue came from Dain Sundstrom on the mailing list: "Alternatively, just change the code that complains about the signature. We could add a flag to the Geronimo class loader to hide all signing data." -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

Earthjustice called today's expected push from some members of Congress to accelerate the judicial nomination process, "flawed thinking and a dangerous precedent." At news conferences scheduled for today, several Senators, including Rick Santorum (R-PA), Jon Kyl (R-AZ), and Mitch McConnell (R-KY) are expected to call for rushing through judicial nominees in the name of national security.
"There is no real threat to national security in making sure that each life-long appointee is the right choice for the job," said Glenn Sugameli, senior legislative counsel for Earthjustice. "The nomination process for judges should not be compromised, and it's shameless that some in Congress might be attempting to use current events to achieve that goal."
Sugameli points out that the Senate Judiciary Committee is continuing to address judicial confirmations at a reasonable pace. The committee has paid special attention to district court nominees who would be most directly affected by any terrorism-related issues. In addition, magistrate judges who handle warrants and other key issues are not subject to Senate confirmation and are currently in place in sufficient numbers. Appeals court judges would not have the opportunity to hear terrorist-related cases for many months, if not years.
"The real danger would be a rush to judgment on lifetime judicial nominees who will decide whether to strike down or enforce safety, health, and environmental protections," said Sugameli. "The Senate is acting responsibly by approving judges after carefully considering each nominee's record on critical environmental and other issues. "
Once confirmed, federal judges hold their positions for life, suggesting that rash confirmations could be especially damaging. Environmental groups place particular importance on a sensible approach to reviewing nominees for the federal bench.
"For decades to come, newly confirmed judges will exert tremendous influence over the laws that protect our public health and environment," Sugameli said. "The confirmations should not be approached hastily."
