I have a simple question that does not seem to have a simple answer since I hear different things from different people. Simply put, I would like to know what steps need to be taken in rolling back a transaction. I believe that any subclass of RuntimeException, most notably EJBException, triggers a rollback, but what does that mean exactly? Does throwing the exception by itself cause the rollback? Or does one have to explicitly call setRollbackOnly() on the SessionContext? And if the latter is the case, what is the point then of CMT? If I have to write transactional code anyway, I could just as easily write it in BMT, couldn't I?
Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks.

Rolling Back Transactions[ Go to top ]
It's confusing because the spec doesn't really say anything very definitive about it. Here's what I know about it:

1. You do NOT have to call setRollbackOnly. As you said, that would be almost equivalent to BMT.
2. I'm not sure that just any RuntimeException will force rollback. We always throw an EJBException (or subclass thereof).
3. What you get back to the caller depends on your interface and whether the caller is already in a transaction. You may get the original EJBException or a TransactionRolledbackException.
4. I believe the rollback is triggered in the EJB stub class at the end of the method. However, it gets more complicated when one EJB calls another. I believe it happens in the stub of the exception-throwing EJB itself.
For what it's worth, what we've found to be a good paradigm is: we define a system-wide exception BaseException that's a subclass of EJBException. Virtually all of our EJB calls use local interfaces. When a piece of code has a problem, it throws a BaseException (or a subclass). In general, none of our code ever catches general Exceptions - they bubble up to the top-level user interface manager, which is built on top of Apache Turbine. The user interface manager then decodes the actual exception that was thrown and displays an error message to the user.
It has made exception handling much simpler; primarily because lack of it, but also because we don't have to worry about the myriad ways that exceptions can be embedded within other exceptions.
Hopefully somebody else can add something more definite.
Rolling Back Transactions[ Go to top ]
Throwing RuntimeException or any of its subclasses will rollback a transaction. In this case you don't need to call setRollbackOnly.

If you throw application exception (non-RuntimeException), and if you want to rollback a TX at that moment, calling setRollbackOnly() is required.
Rolling Back Transactions[ Go to top ]
Just remember that throwing a EJBException will invalidate that EJB(e.g the container will remove it) so you can't call it again. If the exception is a application (to show the user that there is something wrong, validation error) it better to call setRollbackOnly. When the user recives the application exception (with should extend Exception and NOT Remote or EJBException) it can correct the problem an use the same EJB again.

NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenya's election commission posted complete results early this morning showing that Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta prevailed in the country's presidential elections by the slimmest of margins, winning 50.03 percent of the vote.
That result is likely to bring controversy in Kenya and an almost certain legal challenge from Prime Minister Raila Odinga. Kenyatta needed to break the 50 percent barrier to avoid a run-off with Odinga, but he did so by only 4,099 votes out of more than 12.3 million cast.
Monday's presidential vote was the first since Kenya's 2007 election sparked two months of tribe-on-tribe violence after a disputed election win was claimed by President Mwai Kibaki. More than 1,000 people were killed in attacks that included machetes, bows and arrows and police firearms.
A win by Kenyatta could greatly affect Kenya's relations with the West. Kenyatta faces charges at the International Criminal Court for his alleged role in directing some of Kenya's 2007 postelection violence. His running mate, William Ruto, faces similar charges.
The U.S. has warned of "consequences" if Kenyatta, the son of Kenya's founding father, wins, as have several European countries. Britain, which ruled Kenya up until the early 1960s, has said they would have only essential contact with the Kenyan government if Kenyatta is president.
Odinga's camp has indicated legal challenges could be filed. Monday's presidential vote proceeded mostly peacefully, but the counting process has been stymied by a myriad of break-downs and errors.
That the winner was quietly revealed overnight — at about 2:35 a.m. local time — came as somewhat of a surprise. At about midnight the electoral commission said it would give a formal announcement of the winner at 11 a.m. Kenya time (1 a.m. MST) today. Observers believed that the decision was made in part not reveal a winner overnight, something that could stir suspicions and put security forces at a disadvantage if rioting broke out.
In order to win outright, Kenyatta must not only get more than 50 percent of the vote but also must garner at least 25 percent of the vote in 24 out of Kenya's 47 provinces. Because of the way the election commission announced results, it was difficult to immediately determine if Kenyatta passed that bar.
Diplomats said they believed Odinga was not likely to protest the vote in a manner that would increase the chances of violence, but rather honor his pledge to respect the result and petition the courts with any grievances. Odinga scheduled a news conference for later this morning.Comment on this story
The Kenyan capital has been sleepy since Monday's vote for president, the country's first election since its 2007 vote sparked tribe-on-tribe violence that killed more than 1,000 people. But security forces in riot gear took to the streets Friday in regions of the city that could turn tumultuous after results are announced.
The prime minister's supporters took to the streets in 2007 after Odinga said he had been cheated. In Kibera, Nairobi's largest slum and a bastion of Odinga support, many believe this year's results have been rigged as well.
The results showed Odinga with 43.3 percent.

BOSTON (CBS) – The MBTA brass did the best they could with the situation they had yesterday, proposing fare hikes, a few service cuts, and a bunch of one-time revenue grabs to close the system's $161 million budget deficit.
Listen to Jon's commentary:
And to their credit, both they and the governor were candid about the fact that this fix really doesn't fix anything at all.
"I can't emphasize enough this is a one-year solution," said transportation czar Rich Davey, adding: "We will be back in the same position a year from now, looking at service cuts and potentially more fare increases."
"This is neither a permanent nor a comprehensive solution," said Gov. Patrick. "The T will be back in this situation next year."
What they didn't say, I will: they are kicking the can down the road because the legislature doesn't have the political nerve to address what's really needed to properly pay for and maintain our public transit system – some kind of mix of gas-tax increases and new highway tolls.
You'll recall that the governor, responding to a bi-partisan commission's recommendations of how to solve a $20 billion funding gap in our overall transportation infrastructure, proposed a gas tax increase in 2009 that was dead on arrival on Beacon Hill.
Why was it DOA?
Because people who don't use the T and don't want to pay more to use the roads they drive on make it clear to their legislators that they don't want them voting for tax or toll hikes.
And most of the legislators either don't get it or don't have the nerve to tell their constituents the unpleasant truth of the situation.
I don't want to pay more for gas or tolls either.
But we cannot have a viable economy without usable roads and bridges and functioning, reasonably affordable public transit.
So now our legislators – and we the people who elect them – have a year to grow up and face reality.
We'll see if we have what it takes.
You can listen to Keller At Large on WBZ News Radio every weekday at 7:55 a.m. and 12:25 p.m. You can also watch Jon on WBZ-TV News.

"Unfortunately, the status remains the same."
So responded Gloria Madera, interim superintendent for the San Ysidro School District, in an email to U-T San Diego when asked about recent state-mediated labor talks between the district and the teachers union.
Last Friday was the second time both sides sat down at the bargaining table with a mediator appointed by the California Public Employment Relations Board. The first round was Jan. 24, when discussions centered on the district's budget and school finance, according to James Whitlock, a consultant for the San Ysidro district.
Teachers want a 1 percent pay raise, down from an initial request of 6 percent. The district says it must make an 8 percent cut in compensation for all employees in the current year and the two subsequent years in order to stave off the financial insolvency that is projected to occur in June.
San Ysidro is the only school district in San Diego County with a negative certification, which is assigned when a district will not be able to pay its bills in the current year or for the subsequent year. Its operating budget for the 2013-14 school year is $42 million and has a deficit of $2.6 million.
In November, after months of fruitless contract talks, the district petitioned and got the state to appoint a mediator to help in the district's negotiations with the San Ysidro Education Association.
A third mediated session is scheduled for Feb. 27.

Plans to install street sign-style metal panels on a downtown lamppost to identify nearby businesses moved forward with the call for an ordinance detailing the program.
Alderman Carol Johnson wants to install the signs to notify motorists which businesses are located nearby.
The first group of signs would be attached to a lamppost at the corner of St. Louis and First streets near the vintage clock.
Johnson presented a sketch that had been prepared by Sign Experts illustrating 16 6- by 24-inch metal banners on one lamppost. Eight signs would be attached to each side of the post with arrows pointing toward the location of the business.
Aldermen say they want to work out a program that can be replicated in other areas of the city that will be fair to businesses that want to put their names on the signs.
A lengthy discussion at the Oct. 1 board of aldermen meeting focused on who would own the signs and how businesses whose names would be on the signs would be selected.
Johnson said the businesses would purchase the signs and even pay to have them installed but Mayor Herb Adams said the city should own the signs and install them. Businesses that wanted their name on the sign would pay a fee for the purchase and maintenance of the signs.
City Attorney Dan Vogel said the city cannot advertise individual businesses, but the project could work if the ordinance defined the project as improving traffic safety as motorists make turns to look for businesses.
Johnson has been working with businesses along St. Louis Street from approximately Fourth to Columbus streets to eliminate the sandwich board signs on the sidewalks, replacing them with uniform directional signs. She said as downtown businesses work together they are attracting visitors from other communities who need some directions.
Johnson noted that the downtown business owners are investing in their individual businesses, attracting shoppers and working to direct shoppers to each other's businesses.
The growing success of the Thursday evening ladies night out event is an indication of increased activity in the downtown.
Johnson said the post office and library also are located in the district, but those should be identified with the blue directional signs that point to cemeteries, hospitals, etc. The lamppost signs should be limited to identifying nearby businesses.
Alderman Mike Pigg, who operates Pigg's Pets on West Osage, said the signs should be available to other businesses.
Johnson said she envisions that the signs could be posted on a lamppost in any business district and would be limited to the businesses located near the signs.
Adams directed the city attorney to put together an ordinance spelling out how the signs would be regulated and bring it back to the aldermen at the next meeting.

Largo, FL– Largo Medical Center was honored with an "A" Hospital Safety ScoreSM by The Leapfrog Group, an independent national nonprofit run by employers and other large purchasers of health benefits. The Hospital Safety ScoreSM was calculated under the guidance of The Leapfrog Group's Blue Ribbon Expert Panel using publicly available data on patient injuries, medical and medication errors, and infections. U.S. hospitals were assigned an A, B, C, D, or F for their safety.
"Largo Medical Center's safety score is evidence of our commitment to patient safety and excellence in the quality of care that we provide," said Cynthia Pulley, Vice President of Quality and Risk Management, Largo Medical Center.
"It's The Leapfrog Group's goal to give patients the information they need and deserve before even entering a hospital," said Leah Binder, president and CEO of The Leapfrog Group. "We congratulate the hospitals that earned an 'A' and we look forward to the day when all hospitals in the U.S. will earn the highest scores for putting patient safety first."
To see Largo Medical Center's scores as they compare nationally and locally, visit www.hospitalsafetyscore.org, the Hospital Safety ScoreSM website, which also provides information on how the public can protect themselves and loved ones during a hospital stay.
Calculated under the guidance of The Leapfrog Group's nine-member Blue Ribbon Expert Panel, the Hospital Safety Score uses 26 measures of publicly available hospital safety data to produce a single score representing a hospital's overall capacity to keep patients safe from infections, injuries, and medical and medication errors. The panel includes: John Birkmeyer (University of Michigan), Ashish Jha (Harvard University), Lucian Leape (Harvard University), Arnold Millstein (Stanford University), Peter Pronovost (Johns Hopkins University), Patrick Romano (University of California, Davis), Sara Singer (Harvard University), Tim Vogus (Vanderbilt University), and Robert Wachter (University of California, San Francisco).

Well, since I'm an RV person--I think I like it as a "bus"!!! :D
The DC3 aircraft are still working but, it is too hard to get the fuel for piston engine aircraft, the cost is way up and it is just more economical to by on old used jet type aircraft and buy jet fuel.
Most DC3 aircraft end up in out of the way locations where fuel is hard to ship to so it makes sense to just ship one kind of fuel, so they tend to ship jet fuel.
In reality are you sure there not all still flying
...you could fly at low altitude!!!
What do ya do with an old DC-3?

I think that the term Knexpert is too widely used. I think it should be for several (over 3) innovative builds (NOT for instance an old system with one or two pieces changed) or some very good replicas. Am I alone in this thinking? Discuss. And p.s. Am I the oldest active member on here now that hasn't moved mainly to KI? I don't mean oldest in age, but oldest in time on instructables. I think a few may still be here. I'm not sure.
7 years agoReply
how many guns have you made then? have you got any instructables.if you do please reply to me
7 years agoReply
I have made literally hundreds of knex weapons, mostly from instructions on here or KI but around 25 of my own builds. If you click my name you can see my instructables, but I post hardly anything, I'm lazy like that.
Video related. This guy is the world's biggest K'nexpert.

I've been using 'ibles since 2006, since I've had no need for an account. But then it became biased towards members and the fact that it seemed that I was the only person apart from Mepain and KillerK who had managed to make the SRv2, so I joined in february 2009! I think I did quite well, since already I'm on 1200 comments and 43 subbers! :)
Loads of people made the SRV2. It's one of the easier 'hard' guns on the site.
They did? I only ever saw KillerK's (obv) and Mepains mini version. Apart from perhaps a couple of others I thought that everyone else only made it from my guide
i don't know when i joined, but i think it was sortof close (by sort of, i mean still awhile ago, but not as far ago as you.) i think that people moving on to KI is just dumb. i know it's a good site and all, but now, there are barely any knex guns popping up. i agree with TheDunkis, when not many knex guns are being made, then the Knexpert standard gets lowered. i don't know what happened to the knex society on 'ibles. PS: i've noticed that KI doesn't really have new guns posted all that much. is it easier to post there, or do people just think that 'ibles too "lame"?
PS: i've noticed that KI doesn't really have new guns posted all that much. is it easier to post there, or do people just think that 'ibles too "lame"? That doesn't make sense; it is contradictory. But yes, it is harder to post on KI (barely though) .
oh. ok.
9 years agoReply
Yeah it's mainly because the KIers left and made it too easy to become a knexpert. If you leave knexperts in charge of choosing ohter knexperts then we'll get no where because most of them take the position lightly. I miss when the knelders ran the joint because it was a lot harder to impress them so much that they considered you one of them.

Here's a simple circuit for controlling four switches from a distance through just a pair of
In the circuit, the inverting inputs (pin 2) of operational amplifiers IC1 through IC4 are set to refrence voltages of +12V, +9V, +6V, and +3V, respectively, through a chain of four 1k resistors (R1 through R4).
The reference voltage (VREF) can be simply calculated by the following relationship:
Total applied voltage × Resistance across reference voltage
Total resistance
For example, reference voltage VREF3 is calculated as follows:
12V + (R3 + R4) 12V x 2K
The non-inverting inputs (pin 3) of the four op-amps ( IC1 through IC4) are tied together and connected to a pair of wires that provide +3V to +12V input voltage for controlling the switches.
Four 12V, 200-ohm, single-changeover relays are connected to four BC548 relay driver transistors (T1 through T4) via resistors R5 through R8, respectively. These relays energise depending on the voltage present at the controlling voltage input terminal; for example, relay RL4 energises when controlling voltage input of +3V is available at non-inverting pin 3 of IC4. Four electrical equipment can be connected to the terminals of the relays through the 220V AC, 50Hz mains.

Former Senior Defense Official Who Posed as Rabbi Gets 10 Years for Rape
A former senior Defense Ministry official was sentenced to 10 years in prison yesterday for rape, sodomy and indecent acts against five women.
Nissim Aharon, who posed as a rabbi with special healing powers, was convicted by the Petah Tikva District Court under a plea bargain. The court also gave him a one-year suspended sentence and ordered him to pay NIS 100,000 in compensation to the five women.
According to the court, Aharon took advantage of the women's innocence and faith by telling them that his semen was holy, and they would be physically and spiritually healed and purified if they touched him.
He also told the women he had held various posts in the Shin Bet security service and the Mossad, that he had carried out military actions beyond enemy lines, and that he was in constant touch with the prime minister, cabinet ministers and respected rabbis.
The bench, headed by Judge Menachem Finkelstein, called Aharon's conduct "monstrous." It also convicted him of fraud, attempted fraud under aggravated circumstances, making threats, attempting to obstruct justice, forgery and use of a false document.
Aharon formerly served as deputy head of intelligence in the Defense Ministry's purchasing administration. During his 20 years of work for the ministry, stories abounded about irregularities in his behavior.
He was finally fired in 2008, after a Civil Service disciplinary tribunal found him guilty of sexually harassing a 21-year-old female Defense Ministry employee who worked for him.

Sicilian Festivals, Traditional Celebration and Events all year around
In an land with such rich and complex history as Sicily's, the variety and number of cultural events and local traditional festivals is enormous. Whatever the seasons and everywhere in the island, there will always be something going on.
All towns and villages have its patron saint who is duly celebrated with processions through the streets, spectacular firework displays and plenty of traditional food and drink. Two of the most spectacular and important are in Palermo and Catania, dedicated to Santa Rosalia (U' Fistinu every in the first half of July fro 3-5 days) and Sant'Agata (celebrated twice a year, first on 3rd – 5th February, to remember her martyrdom, and on 17th August, records the return of her mortal remains to the city from Constantinople in 1126) Both remembered with enormous celebrations and huge crowds coming from all over the world.
The Good Friday and Easter in Sicily "Venerdi' Santo e la Pasqua"
Easter certainly is a great time to come to Sicily, here is where mother nature shows her first signs of Springtime or "Primavera". Here pagan traditions religious festivities that have been incorporated to celebrate "the awakening of life " both spiritual and physical.
"The masked processions on Good Friday" are certainly some of the most moving expressions of Sicilian religious culture, and can be seen in towns, city boroughs, large and small villages, all over in Sicily.
One of the most picturesque is the " Processione dei Misteri" of Trapani", in which twenty wooden sculptures are carried through the town.
Very unique are the "Ballo dei Diavoli" at Prizzi (PA)
Man can not live on religion alone, however, and even the most revered saint may be forgotten when a Sicilian's stomach begins to rumble. As a result God Food is celebrated with earnest devotion, and most small towns and villages in the hinterland spend a few days every year celebrating the fruits of their agricultural labours, whether it be artichokes in Cerda, pistachios in Bronte, Slow Food capers in Salina, cous cous in San Vito Lo Capo or sausages in Caccamo. These sagre – food festivals – offer an excellent excuse to visit places you might otherwise have neglected while having an excellent meal at the same time!
While most Sicilian towns can claim a patron saint or a gastronomic speciality others prefer to celebrate their uniqueness in other ways. Piazza Armerina, for example, celebrates its history with a Norman-Arab jousting tournament, Caltagirone annually illuminates the 142 ceramic-tiled steps of the Scala di Santa Maria del Monte, Sciacca, Acireale and other towns launch themselves into a good old pagan carnevale, San Vito Lo Capo puts on a kite festival, while Noto invites artists to cover one of its streets with petal mosaics – the Infiorata.
Culture with a capital C is also wonderfully varied and includes international opera seasons at the Teatro Massimo in Palermo and the Teatro Massimo Bellini in Catania, Greek theatre festivals and other events in the original theatres of Syracuse, Segesta and Tindari, and a WOMAD festival in Taormina.
So, if you really want to get under Sicily's skin and learn what makes its people tick, just turn up to one of these events (or one of the hundreds we haven't had space to mention here) and let yourself be swept along by the passion, the sense of fun and the hospitality of your fellow revellers.

I got these inks at a TT class.. and they are just wonderful. This is a hybrid ink (pigment/dye), and it gives a VERY crisp and clear image. I highly recommend this ink for stamps with very intricate images. This ink will bring out all the details in your stamp!
I discovered this album at a SEI class at CKC. I am so glad I did! This is a beautiful album, and the white scrolls are beautiful and elegant. The acrylic is of good quality... The white scrolls make it so easy to embellish the pages too. I believe the album is about 6x6, so it's the perfect size as a gift album. I am in love with clear albums and I see myself getting a number of these in the future!
Wonderful set of stamps! It is great for summer theme, theme park (Seaworld), aquarium visits ... again the quality of TT stamps are just superb. The images are crisp and clear, the acrylic is sturdy. The designs are fun too!
I love this Noteworthy Spiral Bound Notebook. The designs are versatile and there are many different colours in the Notebook to complement different colours and styles of layouts. I love the journaling notebooks in general. You can use them as journaling blocks or even as embellishments and layer them. The possibilities are endless!
I love clear scrap's albums. The acrylic is light weight yet sturdy. I love the different shapes available .... I especially love this scallop album because it is almost 7 x 7, which is good for more pics and more embellies. The scallop edges are great for inking or embellishing. It is a great album!
I got this bag (in blue) for my birthday! I immediately test drove it and took it to a crop. The bag has many pockets and pen holders. It is also very roomy, you can fit a lot of page kits in there. I love the details and the design of the bag. It is very sturdy and stays upright even if it's empty. I love the beautiful design of the bag as well. This is definitely THE tote I'll bring to any crops.
I love the quality of Technique Tuesday stamps. I have many letter sets, but they are larger in size, so sometimes it's hard to put together a long title using them. The stamps that come in this start up set is great for doing subtitles or on LOs that have a lot of elements/pictures on them. As for the font, Main Street is a wonderfully versatile one. It is very elegant, yet modern looking. This font works well in various LO styles. By the way, this set is a wonderful value. You get a set of upper AND lower case medium size stamps and matching image and border stamps, an acrylic block, an ink pad and a sheet of fabric squares (they make great embellies) and a TT stamp guide. Great value!
I love the Q&Co felt ribbons, and now that they come with adhesive, it's even better. I can save some Xyron cartridges that way. :) I love the intricate designs of these ribbons, making them wonderful to use whether as a whole strip, or cut out as individual shapes. I've cut them up, glitter them up, and painted them.. so they are very versatile. I like these leaves since they are not just good for Autumn LOs, but even to accent flowers on Spring LOs. These are also great for masculine LOs.
The only tip I have is not to peel the whole backing off if you're using a whole strip. Take off the corner and position the ribbon on the paper first, then slowly peel the adhesive backings off section by section. That way, they won't stick to unwanted places... usually my scrap table or my tools that are lying around! :)
I love this beautiful set of stamps. There are so many things you can do with them: use them in a title, or make a monogram embellishment. The flourish pattern is very intrigue and detailed. The matching flourishes that come with the set help make great monograms (stamp on chipboard or TT technique tiles). This set is great for embossing, and I've seen the Idea book where the letter is inked in one colour and outlined in another with a contrasting colour. The result is stunning. I've used it in a monogram, I inked the letter in one colour, and stamped the flourish in a different colour. I traced the letter with a glitter pen. The result is great even for an amateur like me! You just can't go wrong with them. I believe the flourishes come with the Extra Large set. Not sure they come with the other sizes.
This trimmer came highly recommended by many users I've talked with. And they are correct! It is easy to use, trims well, and can cut multiple sheets. I also like the fact that there's no replacement blades to worry about. I use it almost all the times, except for going to crops. The size and weight of the trimmer means that it is not that portable, which is fine for me since I have a lighter one for traveling.
Love MM's acrylic paint. It is never too watery, nor too thick, and it works with foam stamps very easily. I just tried painting chipboards with it and the result is great! I would highly recommend these paints! Sherbet is a great set of colours. If you buy other sets or individual paints, be sure to check for the colour carefully because the same colour is named differently in different sets.
I have tried other similar roller adhesives and the Kokuyo dot roller is the best amongst them. It rolls on smoothly, does not tear or gum up like others do. The only con is the price. However, if you buy the refills in multi-pack, it brings the price down. I've learnt to use as little as possible in order to stretch it out.. it works because the adhesive is strong enough such that little dabs are enough to hold a cardstock down.

Word Count
Writers Talk About Writing
Sentence Life
We've all had neighbors who, through years of practice, have learned to spout without pause, and they love yammering at us, never letting us get a word in edgewise. In speech we may be these bores' defenseless victims, but in writing we have a stout defender in the sentence, which, by its nature, demands that from time to time the word flow will come to a full stop. Thank God for sentences!
The sentence is "a group of words expressing a complete thought or feeling," according to Foerster and Steadman's fine 1931 book, Writing and Thinking. What makes up a complete thought or feeling is, of course, something of a mystery, but we all know the sentence as the root structure of grammar: from sentences grow paragraphs, from paragraphs grow chapters, and from chapters grow books. Anyone who enjoys reading and writing develops a feel for the shape and rhythm of sentences, the ebb and flow of their parts and pauses as they wend their way toward their end which, if the sentence be well-written, can be heard coming long before it arrives.
Periods end most sentences:
I guess that's all there is to it.
—but many end with an exclamation mark's snare drum snap:
I'll be damned!
—or with a question mark's rising quaver of doubt:
What am I going to do?
Because ending is essential to sentences, sentences that end chapters and books have added whammy. Dreiser ends the last sentence of Jennie Gerhardt with a dash and a question mark to keep Jennie alive long after the final page:
Before her was the stretching of lonely years down which she was steadily gazing. Now what? She was not so old yet. There were those two orphan children to raise. They would marry and leave after a while, and then what? Days and days in endless reiteration, and then—?
"Yes," "No," and "Maybe" can be full sentences, but most sentences combine a noun and a verb in dynamic unity:
In some sentences a thing does something by itself—"The clock ticks"; at others what the thing does affects another thing—"The fire burns the wood."
Sentences can describe things and actions with great exactitude. In Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain uses a 236-word sentence, the longest I know, to describe a one-horse cotton plantation — here's an excerpt:
A rail fence round a two-acre yard; a stile made out of logs sawed off and upended in steps, like barrels of a different length, to climb over the fence with, and for the women to stand on when they are going to jump on to a horse; some sickly grass patches in the big yard, but mostly it was bare and smooth, like an old hat with the nap rubbed off;...bench by the kitchen door with bucket of water and a gourd; hound asleep there in the sun; more hounds asleep round about;...outside of the fence a garden and a watermelon patch; then the cotton fields begin, and after the fields the woods.
By packing nouns into and leaving verbs out of his sentence, Twain keeps his prose still as the hot Southern afternoon. In contrast, Dickens' many verbs ( and active nouns and adjectives) animate a blustery English night in these sentences from Martin Chuzzlewit:
An evening wind uprose too, and the slighter branches cracked and rattled as they moved, in skeleton dances, to its moaning music. The withering leaves no longer quiet, hurried to and fro in search of shelter from its chill pursuit; the laborer unyoked his horses, and with head bent down, trudged briskly home beside them; and from the cottage windows lights began to lance and wink upon the darkening fields.
Some stops in the word flow come to us from nature: even yammerers must breathe sometime! The question is: how often and when to stop? We can easily say a dozen or more words on a single breath, so if we keep stopping after three, four, or five words, our prose becomes choppy. Yet if we connect endless word coils with commas and semicolons as Twain does, we'll come panting to each period, glad for the breather.
Good prose mixes long and short sentences into an agreeable blend, short sentences standing beside long sentences as a matter of course. Here Henry Fielding in Tom Jones:
Hushed be every ruder breath. May the heathen ruler of the winds confine in iron chains the boisterous limbs of noisy Boreas, and the sharp-pointed nose of bitter biting Eurus. Do thou, oh sweet Zephyrus, rising from thy fragrant bed, mount the western sky, and lead on those delicious gales, the charms of which call forth the lovely Flora from her chamber, perfumed with pearly dews, when on the first of June, her birthday, the blooming maid, in loose attire, gently trips it over the verdant mead, where every flower rises to do her homage, 'till the whole field becomes enamelled, and colors contend with sweets which shall ravish her most.
Fielding opens with a quick five-worder, goes on to a long twenty-five worder, then on to an eighty-one word monster, creating an effect of accumulating grandiosity: short-Longer-LONGEST! At first Dashiell Hammett's sentences in The Glass Key look different from Fielding's:
The room had two windows. He went to the nearer window and tried to raise it. It was locked. He unfastened the lock and raised the window. Outside was night. He put a leg over the sill, then the other, turned so that he was lying belly-down across the sill, lowered himself until he was hanging by his hands, felt with his feet for some support, found none, and let himself drop.
—but Hammett too moves from short sentences to long, here by staggered steps: short-longer-short-Longer-short-LONGEST, creating a similar cumulative climax.
A long sentence after a short sentence smooths out a staccato burst:
The baby was coming. Each morning she was nauseated, chilly, bedraggled, and certain she would never be attractive again; each twilight she was afraid.
—Sinclair Lewis, Main Street
A short sentence after a long sentence chops off a legato curve:
Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.
—Abraham Lincoln, Second Inaugural Address
Modern writers favor an informal blend of short and long sentences. In his masterpiece, Whistle, James Jones mixes fluid medium-lengthers:
They passed a large green park with a golf course in it, where men in shirtsleeves moved on the fairways followed by Negro caddies.
—with flurries of shorties:
We were somehow unclean. We were tainted. And we ourselves accepted this. We felt it too.
—and the occasional cowabunga:
Somewhere down in the deepest part of his mind, in some place he wished neither to investigate or explore, but consciously knew was there, was a strong feeling, a superstition, that if he could bring Strange and Prell and Landers through, without them dying or going crazy, and make them come out the other side intact, he might himself come through.
—yet we barely notice the variety because each sentence is so naturally paced, its length so well suited to its thought.
Last word on sentences (for the moment!): don't make 'em all short, don't make 'em all long, and don't let any of 'em them wander on and on through the fertile meadows of your intoxicated imagination until you sound like that annoying neighbor who has always got to tell you just one more thing about her poor second cousin in Schenectady until you're ready to scream, "Shut up already!"

[This post was co-written by my colleague Sharon K. Anderson, who is a professor at Colorado State University and writes the Ethical Therapist blog.]
Here's a case to ponder:
Chester Drawes is a professor of psychology. He has some old bedroom, kitchen, and living room furniture to sell. He's told his colleagues on the faculty about it. But now he wonders, "Is it OK to advertise to students? Would there be a conflict of interest, a boundary violation, or a multiple relationship?" His immediate intuition (Kitchener & Anderson, 2011) tells him that it's not a good idea to sell his furniture to students. As a therapist he would never dream of saying to a client, "I have an old bed for sale—maybe you'd like it?" But the boundaries between students and teachers are more fluid, and he wants to do some thinking about it—what's his problem with it? What are the elements of his choice making (Anderson, Wagoner, & Moore, 2006), and under what conditions might such a sale to students be OK?
Think a bit about the questions Dr. Drawes has asked. Then read on and see if we've covered what you've thought of.
Here are some of the factors that Dr. Drawes considers (in no particular order):
The level of students. Would it make a difference if he were advertising to graduate vs. undergraduate students?
The level of interaction with students. What's the likelihood that Dr. Drawes would have students in courses? In terms of sexual interactions, the APA (2010) Ethics Code says that you cannot have sexual relationships with students in your department, agency, or training center. But in terms of selling furniture or other good, would it matter if the students were in the Psychology Department or in other departments? What if he were just to sell to non-psychology students? On the other hand, would it be unfair to say, "I'm not going to sell to you because I know you?"
The culture of the institution. Does the college have a tradition of such teacher-student interactions? In some large universities there are notices of sales up all the time, and the likelihood of a psychology student even seeing the notice, let alone pursuing a purchase, is pretty low. At some small colleges there's lots of non-academic teacher-student interactions, such as students going over to professors' houses for dinner.
In addition to Dr. Drawes considering the culture of the institution, he's also going to consider:
His own culture of origin. Dr. Drawes has learned (Anderson & Handelsman, 2010) to explore his own ethical culture to see how that might be influencing his decisions. He remembers that when he was growing up people in his neighborhood had garage sales all the time, and he remembers buying his first college furniture from his own dentist. He got a lot of cavities in college, but that's another story. In college, though, he remembers always calling his professors by their last names (to their faces), and the relationships were pretty formal.
His own professional identity. Dr. Drawes has taken some time to think about how this possible action fits with who he is at his core (Anderson, 2013), how he sees himself as a professor. Does extending this type of boundary in a professional relationship fit with the integration of his highest professional and personal ethics and values? (Anderson & Handelsman, 2010; Handelsman, Knapp, & Gottlieb, 2009) How would selling furniture to students change how they see him? Would they see him as more ethical or cheapening his ethics?
The nature of the sale and the advertisement. Related to the last issue: Would Dr. Drawes put a notice up in the Psychology Department? Elsewhere on campus? Just Craig's List? Would he have a garage sale?
The value of the furniture. If he's charging a lot of money, the advertising might appear (or be) exploitative and constitute a conflict of interest. But students can always use cheap furniture, so if he weren't charging that much he might be doing a service to students.
The nature of the furniture. Is it a little creepy for Dr. Dawes to sell his bedroom set to a student? Does it make a difference?
Possible bad outcomes. It's good to take a positive approach to ethical decisions (Handelsman et al., 2009), but you still have to look at what might go wrong. If the student is dissatisfied with the purchase, does Dr. Dawes really want the hassle? To the extent that he has other relationships with the student, the problems may expand exponentially and the deliberations about some of the previous issues changes.
Perceptions of favoritism. Dr. Drawes does not want students in his class to say, "What does a student have to buy from this guy to get an A?" (Let alone, "Why did Drawes give his bed to her?") This consideration runs directly counter to Dr. Drawes natural inclination to offer the furniture to his lab assistants or his best students.

I'm terrible with post titles.
My supervision Friday was cancelled ("postponed") because my supervisor is not well. Choice quote:
I had a rather nasty turn last week and have just got out of hospital. I dont recommend cardiac wards.
Something scary about that. This will mean that I will have had attended one supervision for the course in the first 7 weeks of an 8-week term.
We had a rehearsal tonight for Cadenza, which was utter chaos. There are some very talented people in that group, but without anyone actually in charge of rehearsals and without an attendance policy, I'm amazed anything gets done. People actually made cell phone calls during rehearsal, and every time a song stopped the group devolved into conversations. Craziness. Also, since the rehearsals inevitably fall on dinner (much like weekend crew practice inevitably falls on lunch) I am constantly scrounging. Tonight I went with a few other Cadenzans or whatever we are to a bar or a pub or something that looked mostly like just a bar with a TV but also served food. We placed our orders moments before the kitchen closed, and were served surprisingly good food, all things considered. In the course of the ensuing conversation I discovered that Catholic schools in the UK can simultaneously be public schools ("state schools" in UK terminology) which seemed rather much at odds with my usual notions about the government not funding religious enterprises. It also appears that Catholic schools here are not, in fact, meaningfully Catholic, which is awfully confusing, since in the US they really are, or at least some of them are.
As part of the same conversation I discovered that although few Britons continue their education after high school, there is no big ceremony, i.e. no graduation/commencement! They just leave! It seems that American society is always informal, except for a small few terrifically formal "life-cycle" events, British society simply has a vast number of mildly formal events scattered throughout one's schedule.
All very confusing. I think I'm doing pretty well in my translation class, which is nice. Not exceptionally, but considering the teacher's initially disdainful attitude, I feel somewhat vindicated.


text: I have a Dell Inspiron M5040 that is having issues booting. When it gets to the logon screen it throws up a dialog titled LogonUI.exe -Bad Image and references file RpcRtRemote.dll as bad or not for this version of Windows. If I click OK it throws up another dialog titled USERENV.dll - Bad Image with basically the same info as the first dialog but referencing a different file. At this point the machine sits at a black screen and the machine is unusable. I have managed to gain access to the Task Manager after the first dialog and then gotten explorer.exe to run but the system is very buggy in this state. I have managed to run chkdsk /F /R and the results showed no issues. I was then able to run sfc after booting off of a retail Windows 7 DVD and selecting Repair my computer and then selecting the Command prompt. sfc said there were problems but it could not repair them. So, I tried to start the machine and hit F8 to drop me into the Advanced Boot Options menu and then selected the Repair my computer option to take me to the option to reinstall the machine back to factory state but I get an error instead saying it can't load due to a missing device or something of that nature. I know the DELLUTILITY and Restore partitions are still on the drive and I can gain access to see the files in these partitions by booting from a LiveCD (Ubuntu) so I was wondering if EasyRE would be able to fix the MBR, BootSector or the BCD so that I can boot the machine up and have access to the factory install option. In short I am asking if EasyRE can put the drive boot options back to the way it was from factory so I can boot to the Repair my computer option and then have access to do a factory reinstall. Any and all comments greatly appreciated. Dan

ZL1 aggressive alignment with stock suspension?

It is possible a belt has shifted in one of your tires. The only way yo know is to Road Force balance them or swap front wheels and tires with a ZL1 friend.
The amount of effort it requires to turn side to side should be very consistent with you electric steering rack. Do you have headers installed?
It is possible to align a car with a tweaked suspension component. That is exactly why there is alignment adjustment. Normal driving wear ad tear cause alignments to shift and require adjustment. If something is bent, the alignment tech should have noticed how much more adjustment was required one side compared to the other.
My best guess is you are dealing more with tread pull (normal) than damage. It is easy for me to say, since I am not driving your ZL1 that had an incident. It is like a squeak that a passenger mentions. You never noticed it until they mentioned it. Now the squeak sounds more like a siren and drives you crazy.
Or you could be dead nuts spot on right.

Interwoven web content tool aims to take pressure off IT department
Enterprise content management software supplier Interwoven has introduced a tool to help end-users manage their websites.
This Article Covers
Business applications
Enterprise content management software supplier Interwoven has introduced a tool to help end-users manage their websites.
Livesite Content Publishing Server creates, deploys and manages websites and offers a graphical interface to allow non-IT staff to carry out web tasks.
Designed for public internet, intranets and extranets, Livesite also provides IT departments with the tools to deliver the necessary controls and security, Interwoven said.
"There used to be a time when business users were generally satisfied with IT departments handling the creation of websites, when IT did not constantly have a backlog of business user requests, but those days are long gone," said Kevin Cochrane, Interwoven vice-president, web content management products and solutions.
Interwoven said in today's business climate end-users are increasingly taking charge of the online channel. Cochrane said, "Business users are eager to take on this role - to have control and flexibility in managing initiatives."
Andrew Warzecha, an analyst at Meta Group, said, "As firms struggle to keep pace with the growing demand being placed on the online channel, it is becoming increasingly important for enterprise content management suppliers to deliver products that empower non-technical users to take ownership and still keep ultimate control in the hands of IT.
According to Meta, users are looking for a new generation of web content management technology with greater usability to take the pressure off IT departments.

Dawgs introduce Peewee program
Baseball: Okotoks Academy adds newest member to AAA ranks
Wednesday, May 07, 2014 06:00 am
One of the top baseball academies in the country is adding another layer to its programs.
The Okotoks Dawgs Junior Academy introduced a Peewee team to join the wildly successful Bantam and Midget programs, who�ve been provincial and national contenders on an annual basis.
�The whole idea with bringing the Peewee AAA program in was to try and enhance development for the players as they get older,� said head coach Josh MacInnis. �Instead of having kids come into our program at the Bantam age level, getting the kids two years earlier, we�re getting that extra time for development to work on their fundamentals.
�Hopefully that strengthens the program all the way through.�
Since the end of March, the team has beat the cold of the persistent winter weather by holding biweekly practice sessions at the state-of-the-art Duvernay Fieldhouse where sharpening the fundamentals have been the order of the day.
�Our strengths are definitely going to be our hitting and our pitching,� the coach said. �Defence right now has been a work in progress. That would be the case with most kids at the age of 12 or 13, but we have a pretty strong core group.�
The Peewee Dawgs include a number of players who�ve grown up together through Okotoks minor baseball including twin sisters Alexis and Taylor Galloway, two of three girls on the 18-player roster.
�We actually have three pretty strong girls on this team, the biggest thing with (girls) is their growth, they tend to grow at a younger age compared to guys,� MacInnis said. �For the girls it�s easier for them to grow and strength-wise fit in at a younger age level.�
For longtime Dawgs supporter Braeden Asuchak, putting the Peewee red-and-white uniform on for the first time felt like a natural fit.
�It�s awesome, I felt like I was actually a part of this team,� said Asuchak. �I didn�t feel like I was uncomfortable to be here now. I felt like I could be here and now feel weird about being here.�
Teammate Tanner Zdunich from down the road in Nanton echoed the sentiment.
�It�s special,� said Zdunich. �It�s what I�ve dreamed about for many years.�
The Dawgs tradition was passed down to third baseman/outfielder Ben Gagnon who�s tickled pink to be on the inaugural roster of the Dawgs Peewee program.
�My grandparents are really big fans and have always told me stories in the past and it just seemed like good inspiration for me to try and make this team,� said Gagnon. �I think I�ll look back at this when I�m older and think wow that was the first team ever.
�It�s a pretty big honour.�
The Dawgs will compete in Baseball�s Alberta Peewee AAA league against teams from Calgary, Edmonton, Fort McMurray, Red Deer, Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove and South Jasper Place.
�We�re mostly focusing on our groundballs, our hitting,� Asuchak said. �We�re not getting into too big of stuff because it�s the start of the season and we need to get to know each other and how we play.�
The first-month of action is developmental in nature, with games not counting in the standings. Through June and July, the teams transition into the provincial round.
�Those count towards your standings, you�re batting nine, playing nine,� MacInnis said. �It becomes a little more difficult to get everyone in the lineup, but at this young of an age level it goes back to we�re trying to develop these players, teach them fundamentals.
�Players need to get on the field in order to get better so we do our best to get them in the lineup as much as we can.�
Other season highlights for the Peewee Dawgs include tournaments in St. Albert, Kamloops and Kelowna. The provincial finals run at the beginning of August.

I took this a half hour ago from our verandah. We are looking east through palm leaves at low tide. You can see a few sea fans sticking out of the water. There looks to be a three masted barquentine or topsail schooner in the harbour and the scene is about three miles away from me! We are looking over the runway and you can see a huge hangar on the right built by Nato just before the US Navy left.

If you've been longing to ditch that Sky subscription, or maybe you've already dropped it and have that still dish clinging to your home then you'll most definitely want to take a look at Humax's new set top box. The Freesat+ HDR-1000S is the company's latest release, combining support for the UK's Freesat HD service, DVR features (courtesy of a 500GB or 1TB hard drive), and an Ethernet port. The latter opens up options for network media streaming and support for services such as BBC iPlayer and ITV Player.
Freesat support means that if you have an existing satellite dish, you can plug the set top box right in and receive a wide range of free to air TV channels, including HD broadcasts. Also on board is the all new Free Time EPG which cleverly allows you to roll back the guide to watch TV shows you would have ordinarily missed.
Twin tuners, SD broadcast upscaling, HDMI and twin USB support (for connecting hard drives) are all thrown in for good measure in a great looking package that's available now from £279.95. Expect to find the Humax Freesat+ HDR-1000S at John Lewis, Currys and PC World now.
Our review hardware landed a short time ago, so stay tuned (ho ho) for our Hands On Review.

External Sata Cables
I have been searching for external sata cables with latches. The only ones I can find with latches are internal (Type L). The external should be type "I" both ends. Does any one have a link for external latched cables?
|My System Specs

Hello Bob,
I found this one at Amazon. It's a 6' type I eSATA latch cable.
Amazon.com: Premium External Round Serial ATA II (E-SATA II) 300Mb/s Cable w/ Metal Latch Black 6ft: Computers & Accessories
Hope it helps.

I Missed That
Somehow I missed that. I had searched Amazon. Any way I ordered a couple. They were Sata II (300 kbps). That will fit what I am using now. I'll keep looking for Sata III. I am having a problem keeping my dock connected and it is the cable working out of the port.
Thanks a lot for the link.
|My System Specs
|27 Nov 2012
Do they have to have the metal latch?
Most eSATA cables have snap lock connections. That'll make find one for eSATA III easier.

Snap Lock
Not sure what snap lock is. I know the ones I have tend to work loose in the ports on my rig.
|My System Specs
|27 Nov 2012
Well, I'm not sure of it's official name, but I just call them snap lock connections since the plastic notches on the sides snap when they lock in place when connected. It's not a true lock, but it works for most.

In this traumatic scene she's found out though when her redneck friends tear her clothes off and pull down her panties to see whether or not she's packing. Seeing her hairy bush confirms their suspicions that Martha is in fact Arthur.

Very cool. I'm not anti-CG in movies, but it needs to be done tastefully, unlike the Star Wars prequels.
"And when they were demonstrating how they did this thing, live on set — because it's not CGI, that's a live prop — I was just amazed. They let me play around with it. [Laughs] I was running it all around at the creature shop up in Pinewood. I'm telling you, it's an absolute delight. And not having thought that I'd ever go back there, to go back into that world, is just – I get the chills. It's just so much fun."

Jerry Hobbs, the father accused of killing his 8-year-old daughter and her 9-year-old friend in Zion in 2005, will remain in jail despite DNA evidence linking another man to the murders.
Prosecutors in the case told the judge they wanted more time to analyze the new-found evidence. Judge Fred Foreman agreed, and Hobbs will remain in jail for at least another two weeks.
New evidence was found on June 25, when DNA on Laura's body was matched to that of a man already in custody for another crime. A Zion woman has confirmed a task force told her they had evidence linking her brother, Jorge "George" Torrez, to the crime, the Chicago Tribune reports. The family's home is a block away from the victims' houses.
It is unclear whether the new lead in the case will exonerate Hobbs.
The two girls, 8-year-old Laura Hobbs and her 9-year-old friend Krystal Tobias, were found on Mother's Day in 2005, beaten and bloodied lying next to each other. Previous DNA from semen and fingernail scrapings found on Laura did not match Hobbs' DNA, but he was still held and prosecutors pushed for the death penalty.
Judge Foreman set a July 21 hearing to discuss how the case will proceed. Hobbs' October 6 court date is still intact.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Running back Tim Longmire from Tallahassee (Fla.) Leon is ready to get his junior season underway. Monday marked the first day of two-a-days for Longmire and his teammates. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound back is glad to be back to playing real football.
"It is a really good feeling to get back out here and really install plays, get some good work in, and get back to playing," Longmire said.
Since the conclusion of his sophomore season, Longmire has been putting in a lot of work in hopes to having a breakout season as a junior.
Article Continues Below
"I worked on my speed and my lower body," Longmire said. "I was just trying to get stronger from head-to-toe and most of all improve my speed. I think I did a good job."
His summer also included a couple of camp stops.
"I went to Orlando for the Edgerrin James Camp, I was there for a week, and that went really well," Longmire said. "I also went to Florida State's camp. I know a lot of the coaches out there and they told me I have a good work ethic. They just said to keep doing what I am doing and I will be good to go from there."
With just entering his junior season, recruiting has yet to pick up significantly for Longmire. He says there are a few Southeastern schools keeping tabs on him at this time.
"Florida State, Florida, Alabama, Georgia Tech, Georgia, USF," Longmire said. "Those are schools that have just told me to keep doing what I am doing and that I will hear back from them."
One of those schools stands out to Longmire because of their style of play.
"I like Alabama and the way they run the ball, pound the ball, and get their backs a lot of carries," Longmire said. "I watch a lot of their games and could definitely see myself playing for an offense like that."
Longmire said he hopes to visit a few schools during the 2011 season, but has made no specific plans as of this time.

SARASOTA -- Hoping that the measure will help keep dances and athletic events under control, school officials in Sarasota County are deciding whether to Breathalyzer tests on students attending those gatherings.
Principals within the district made the request, which is now being evaluated by attorneys.
"The issue is one basically of searches," said Art Hardy, legal counsel for the county school board. "Certainly schools have more discretion than, say, the police do. But I didn't find anything specifically addressing that point."
The plan, at least partly, stems from a Sarasota High Valentine's dance earlier this year. Some teens drank rum, others played music loudly in the parking lot and a disabled man who confronted the group was beaten so severely that his face needed reconstructive surgery.
That sparked a new requirement that school-sponsored activities to be held on campus, except for the prom, graduation and homecoming. Yet officials wonder if those changes will be enough.
"Our biggest problem is alcohol," said Barbara Chomko, the executive director of secondary education for Sarasota County.
Several districts nationwide have already enacted plans like what the Sarasota district is considering.
In Carlsbad, N.M., students were randomly tested last spring for alcohol consumption at the high school prom. In Little Rock, students suspected of pre-prom drinking at Bryant High were subjected to Breathalyzer tests, a zero-tolerance approach that arose from problems at previous proms. The same tests were issued at Westwood High in suburban Boston.
Following the Sarasota Valentine's incident, Chomko said the district's policy on the number of security and chaperones at dances did not change.
Chomko said some parents have allowed students to drink at homes before going out to events.
"I can't tell you how many times we've uncovered those type of issues," she said.
School officials in Sarasota have yet to decide how the Breathalyzer program, if approved and enacted, would be administered.
