No Cheese is $10M Extra
The nerve of these barely-functional — and appropriately-paid — McDonald's drones! Despite Mr. Jackson's repeated pleas to "hold the cheese" on his quattah-poundah, those slobs failed to do so. Now he wants a cool ten mill for the horrible allergic reaction he had while chomping down on the toxic burger in a darkened home theater. My advice to people with severe food allergies: Don't eat at McDonald's. Try Hardee's, they could use the publicity.

Pillars of Life
by: Joe Colling
In my experience,
It has been brought to my attention that depending on what you give out the world in terms of the way that you choose to think and/or act, will be an exact ratio of what you receive in return from the world. That being so, I have created this page to be the beginning point of future posts dealing with human experiences pertaining to daily life.
A good example is the case of two people that live next door to each other in a common middle-class neighborhood. One neighbor may feel discontented with his/her surrounding, yet the other may feel contented with their surrounding; they being the same. The one is a light-hearted and harmonious outlook on life; the other is an angry and frustrated perception of life, which only leads to more frustration, which in turn leads to failure, loss, hurt, etc.
That being so,
I have created this page to be the beginning point of future posts dealing with life principles for living the good life. By reading and renewing your thinking to line up with these principles, it is my hope that you enjoy the content and see permanent, positive change in and throughout your life to the very end. Life is meant to be enjoyed.
Thank you for reading and thank you for visiting JoeColling.com – Tips appreciated.

The nonprofit sector remains a large and important part of the Central Massachusetts economy. Not only are the region's nonprofit organizations some of our top employers, but many also rely heavily on executives and other influential individuals from the community to play a leadership role in their organization.
Successful nonprofits have a sharp eye on long-term strategy, quality of service and the delivery of real value to their clients and customers. Today's donors are focused on how effectively their contributions are put to use, and how well the organization is achieving its mission.
In an effort to shed more light on some of our region's leading nonprofits, we are proud to be publishing our 7th annual Central Massachusetts Giving Guide. This directory aims to deliver an easy-to-read snapshot that outlines each organization's mission and goals, top volunteer activities and major events, as well as a list of board members and leadership. While you may be familiar with many of these organizations, we're confident that you'll discover a few new things you didn't know. We've got a dynamic nonprofit community, and the best organizations are always evolving and adapting their services to meet the changing needs of the marketplace, as well as sharpening their message.
Business leaders have a long tradition of giving back to the Central Massachusetts community, and you'll see the names of many top executives and committed corporate citizens on the boards of these nonprofits. Engaging with our nonprofit community is not only energizing for those on the board of directors, but also for a wide variety of companies and their employees who have found many ways to get involved and give back.
Supporting our nonprofit community is integral to the mission of our partners in the Giving Guide, the United Way and the Greater Worcester Community Foundation. It is great to be teaming up with them again to produce this annual directory.
The Central Massachusetts business community has a rich tradition of engagement with our nonprofits. Done right, it is a rewarding partnership for both parties. If you or your company want to become more involved, start by reading through the many opportunities in this issue.

I love a bowl of miso soup and this delicious recipe can be enjoyed all year round, either as a satisfying snack, as an appetizer or entree. It has subtle Asian flavours and is packed full of miso and tempeh, which makes it an excellent source of probiotics.
- 1/2 packet of tempeh
- 1/4 cup miso paste
- 1/4 cup kimchi
- 1 small carrot, peeled and sliced into fine maxstick strips
- 2 stalks of celery, sliced into fine semi circles
- 1 cup kale, chopped into fine ribbons
- 1 Tbsp. Ginger, peeled and sliced finely
- 2 Tbsp. Tamari sauce
- 2 Tbsp. Olive oil
- 1 Tbsp. Sesame seeds
- 4 cups water
- Boil the water in a medium sized pot, adding the celery, carrots and ginger then turn the heat down and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Slice the tempeh into small pieces and place in a frypan over medium heat with the olive oil and tamari sauce. Cook on both sides until golden browned then remove and set aside.
- Remove the soup from the heat and ladle out a small portion into a small mixing bowl, adding the miso paste to this bowl and stirring in until completely dissolved. Then add this back to the main portion of soup along with the kale, stirring it all together.
- Divide amongst bowls and garnish with kimchi (optional) and sesame seeds.
- You can enjoy this soup either piping hot, or lukewarm, depending on your preference!

Mickey & Friends Kite
Craft this Mickey & Friends kite ready for outdoor fun on a blustery day!
Your kids can pick their favourite from four Mickey & Friends designs and then create this mini kite ready for their next outdoor adventure. The kites are so cute that they make for great bedroom decorations when the wind is scarce.
What You'll Need
- Paper
- 2 drinking straws per kite
- String
- PVA glue
- Scissors
How To Make It
Print the Mickey & Friends kite templates and cut out.
Cut a length of string and tie one end to a straw about 2/3 of the way down.
Cut the second straw into three pieces.
Tie the other end of the string to the middle of a straw piece. This will be the kite handle. Add glue to the knot to prevent it sliding off the straw.

Present Danger Paperback
by Stella Rimington
MI5 officer Liz Carlyle is posted to Northern Ireland.
From the moment she lands in Belfast, danger follows.
She soon discovers that the peace process in the province is precarious. Then a source reports strange goings-on at a house on the Irish Sea owned by the Fraternity, an organisation Liz suspects of being a front for renegade former IRA men.
Its head is Seamus Piggott, an Irish-American with a gun-running past.
When another informant reports a plot is being hatched against the security forces, Liz and her colleague Dave Armstrong suspect Piggott is involved, along with a former French Intelligence officer. Moving from London to Belfast to the South of France, the latest Stella Rimington Liz Carlyle novel is a propulsive thriller filled with action and nail-biting suspense.

Review by Eyejaybee
Very entertaining, though rather lightweight, and somewhat predictable.
Review by jtck121166
I can't compare this to any of the rest of Rimington's oeuvre; this is the first I've read, but it's a pretty solid representation of the genre, and I would definitely read more.The plot is credible, the goodies sympathetic, the baddies the opposite; the action is compelling enough and the climax satisfying. Characterisation is sketchy but not entirely absent.The big minus is that while the Belfast setting lends realism, it is distinctly unglamorous; the big plus that Stella Rimington's name and CV lends the stamp of authority: one feels, rightly or wrongly, that this is, or at least approximates as closely as possible within the rules of readable fiction to what it was (is?) really like - and not just the techniques and processes, but, more importantly, the relationships among and between MI5 officers and their colleagues nationally and internationally.This is worth a great deal in the mind of the reader, and is the reason why I think this series of novels stand a chance of a slightly longer afterlife than many like it.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Loves Her Vagina, Sparkly
After chatting about her "booty" with George Lopez last night, Jennifer Love Hewitt moved on to another part of her anatomy. She was on the show to pitch her new book about dating, but who could have thought that would include the introduction of this term: "vagazzling." I'll let her explain:
"After a breakup a friend of mine Swarovski-crystaled my 'precious lady' and it shined like a disco ball. So I have a whole chapter about how ladies should vagazzle their va-jay-jays."
Um, what? That's one close friend. I don't think I could imagine anything more awkward than bedazzling your vagina — except maybe using the term "precious lady."

Merryn Walker: Newspaper missed chance for education on recycling

A column headlined "Asthma issue needs legislature's attention" on Dec. 29 Athens Banner-Herald editorial page certainly caught my attention. On the surface, dealing with childhood asthma issues sounds like a nice, touchy-feely kind of issue that could win favor during an election year. Dig below the surface however, and it appears that the author is advocating even more government intrusion into our lives.
Theresa Miller Matt: Plans to reserve Jekyll for up-scale tourists
Jim Langford (Letters, "Plan for Jekyll Island has the needed balance," Dec. 27) professes to be insulted by Babs McDonald's protest (Letters, "Don't put Jekyll in hands of developers," Dec. 18) against Linger Longer Communities' plan for Jekyll Island on the Georgia coast.

As January ushers in another new year, human faces look toward both the past and the future. Each new year is a gateway and a doorway leading into unknown realms.

July 1, 2003
Democrats and Republicans agree that the alternative minimum tax is a creeping menace that is going to drive up millions of Americans' tax bills.
So what is Congress doing about it? Not much. Lawmakers had a chance when they passed President Bush's big tax-cut bill in May, but they only tinkered with the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). At the moment, there is no clear plan for dealing with the issue.
Originally conceived in the late 1960s amid public outrage over news that 155 wealthy citizens used tax shelters to escape paying any federal income taxes, the alternative minimum tax today is whacking an increasingly wide swath of the middle class -- and most people who stand in its path don't know they are about to get hit.
The AMT is a surcharge that kicks in when a filer's regular tax rate falls below a certain level due to deductions. It was intended to impose a minimum levy -- no matter what -- on superrich Americans who game the tax code with aggressive income shelters.
But the alternative minimum was never indexed for inflation, so it is starting to nip people it wasn't intended to reach.
- About 2.4 million taxpayers will be subject to the AMT in 2003.
- The Tax Policy Center reports that by 2010, households with incomes less than $100,000 will constitute 51 percent of AMT payers.
- Almost all couples with two children and incomes between $75,000 and $100,000 will pay the AMT.
If this tax had been indexed for inflation in 1985, when the regular income tax was indexed, and taxes hadn't been cut in 2001, the projected number of AMT payers in 2010 would be 268,000, not 33 million.

Umbel[bumble] | Sarah Ellen Lundy at the Leitrim Sculpture Centre
21 July to 12 August
Currently working in horticultural settings Lundy's preoccupations with systems and spaces extends to the natural world in her multi-species collaboration with various plants, insects and human-made structures and systems of knowledge.
Weaving together a series of metaphorical meditations on the complex relations between humans and plant-life, including current environmental threats to the bee, Lundy's exhibition activates an assemblage of everyday objects, moving images and the ephemeral performance of materials to challenge autonomy in the face of systemic and applied homogenization.
A personal testament to the fragile life-forms that co-habit nature Lundy's work draws inspiration and incorporates elements from diverse sources and through a strong sense of the absurd the artist seeks to extend through this work an invitation to engage in alternative dialogues.

The Horizon
The Metro Peoria Committee has ongoing discussions regarding the following collaborative opportunities between the two units of government:
Public Safety
At his State of the City Address in January, 2011, Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis requested the Peoria Police Department and Peoria County Sheriff's Office investigate the feasibility of combining the two largest law enforcement agencies in Peoria County into one metro police agency. The Metro Peoria Committee has assumed oversight of this combined public safety services initiative.
At its October 2012 meeting, Sheriff Michael D. McCoy updated the committee on the progress of Mayor Ardis's directive. Sheriff McCoy explained that the Sheriff's Office (PCSO) and the Peoria Police Department (PPD) already collaborate regularly on crime investigations and other police matters. Completely combining both law enforcement agencies, however, will require overcoming some larger hurdles, particularly identifying which unit of government - the City or the County - would have budgetary control over the newly formed metro police force. Other considerations include differing pay scales, pension programs, and seniority.
More research is required before steps can be taken to begin combining some public safety services. Therefore, the sheriff and the police chief will be visiting four communities in the Midwest that have consolidated police services to determine what worked and what did not work for the jurisdictions involved.
Code enforcement
Code violations are the responsibility of property owners to fix. Once notified of code violations many property owners do take the necessary steps to fix the violations. However, some property owners do not comply. When this occurs, the City of Peoria hires contractors to clean up the properties and sends the non-compliant owner a bill for the service. If numerous violations occur, the City may go to court and place a lien on the property. Once the Court places a lien on the property for non-compliance, the lien remains until that property is sold. The properties in question, however, rarely change ownership; thus the City rarely collects the funds spent to clean up the property.
As an alternative to the current system, the City is requesting the County incorporate the unpaid and overdue fines and fees into a property owner's real estate tax bill in lieu of placing a lien on the property. At its October 2012 meeting, County Treasurer Edward T. O'Connor agreed to spend 60 days investigating the feasibility and the resources required to implement such a program on behalf of the City.
Economic development
Previously, the City and County contracted for economic development services with the Economic Development Council. Now, the City and County are working with other local municipalities, jurisdictions, and business development organizations on a more regional effort to attract new business to, and retain existing business in, Central Illinois. The revitalized economic development efforts go far beyond the two units of government that comprise Metro Peoria and culminate in the newly formed Focus Forward CI group, to which both the City of Peoria and Peoria County belong.
Local businesses seeking to expand or entrepreneurs wanting to start their business in Peoria County are encouraged to learn more about loan opportunities offered by the City and County. For more information on the County's programs, please call (309) 672-6056. For the City's program, please call the City of Peoria's Economic Development Department at (309) 494-8640.
Peoria County adopted an internal Sustainability Plan in 2011 that addresses six elements related to the everyday operations of the County and its facilities. At its September 2012 meeting, the Metro Peoria Committee discussed the possibility of the City adopting a similar plan, with the two units of government expanding on these internal initiatives to address some of the sustainability needs of the community. A follow-up to this initial discussion is planned for the November meeting.

We are using raml parser to generate the java interfaces. Everything is working fine except the following interfaces. We are using multipart/mixed content type to upload the multiple files (from our existing clients).
post: description: description is: [protected] body: multipart/mixed: schema: postFile.json example: !include examples/postFileExample.json responses: 201:
Once we generate the interface for above action. The appropriate is class for multipart/mixed is not getting generated. It generating Reader class for multipart/mixed mime type (Refer the next code snippet).
@POST @Path("{fileId}") @Consumes("multipart/mixed") @Produces({ "application/json" }) FileResource.PostFilesByFileIdResponse postFilesByFileId( @PathParam("fileId") String fileId, Reader entity) throws Exception
I have checked with other mime types "multipart/form-data", its generating the relevant class "MimeMultipart" in java code. Can some body let me know what changes I should do for multipart/mixed mime type, so that relevant class get generated instead of Reader class? I am using mulesoft raml parser to generate the code. Anyone has achieved the same ?
So I am not really sure how these code generation tools are working, but RAML is not really mandating what mime type is supported or not. You could basically define what ever you want as RAML basically just describes the capabilities of your service. Tooling on the other hand needs to support these mime types and I am not really sure if yours does.
What are you using in particularly to generate your code?
Yes, Its nothing to do with RAML, I posted this query thinking that, if somebody has achieved the same may help us resolving our issue bit quicker. we are using mulesoft parser. we are unable to generate the code for multipart/mixed. Anyway thanks for you time.
You could raise an issue for that and see what MuleSoft is responding.

Happy New Year!ReplyDelete
How ironic that you are reading J. Grisham's 'A Painted House'. Is it a suspense novel, where you wonder if the owner will ever finish scraping and painting his house?Replies
No, what you described is the story of my life! Haha!Delete
I'm only about ten pages into it so far, but I like it. It's about sharecropping in Arkansas and a murder. I like Grisham's non-courtroom books like this one better than the legal thrillers he's best known for. I read Calico Joe a few weeks ago and liked it.
re tweet: try double strength Excedrin, two if necessary. That usually works for me.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, I'll try that next time. I think I'm getting a cold, so I took Zicam, Benadryl, and two ibuprofen and washed it down with tomato juice. lolDelete

I'm trying to remember who mentioned difficult finding a water leak recently. Was it you?ReplyDelete
I stumbled across the following, i dunno how good it is. I was looking at home depot's rental thing for infrared cameras to find out where I might fix air leaks in my house, and one of their sample images shows it detecting a water leak. I'm not sure why a water leak would be at a different temperature than the surrounding area, but...

Fehren, M., Thunnissen, J., and Nicol, K., "Influence of Package Factors on Driver's Posture and Conclusions for Posture Assessment and Modeling," SAE Technical Paper 2003-01-2224, 2003, https://doi.org/10.4271/2003-01-2224.
The objective of this pilot study was to investigate how far dimensional constraints (vision requirements, head clearance) influence postures of car drivers. For that purpose the preferred sitting postures of 9 subjects were recorded twice. Furthermore the drivers were interviewed regarding their perceived comfort. The data show that limited vision conditions, head clearance and maximum adjustment travels influence the subjective rating, joint angles, eye and head position. It can be concluded that these factors should be considered in posture studies and included in posture models intended for posture prediction what has not been done yet. In further investigations, results so far found in this study have to be verified with larger samples and in other packages or cars under dynamic test conditions.

Mumbai, Dec 19: Now, Shaheen Dhada and Rinu Srinivasan can heave a sigh of relief. The Palghar police on Tuesday, Dec 19 filed a closure report in the local court regarding the arrest of two girls for questioning the Mumbai bandh on a social networking site following the death of Shiv Sena Supremo Bal Thackeray.
"But the charges against Palghar residents Shaheen Dhada and Rinu Srinivasan would be formally dropped only after the court takes a decision in the matter," said a police official entrusted with the case. Deputy superintendent of police Vijaykant Sagar filed a C summary report before judicial magistrate (first class) Palghar VS Yadav in the evening.
"We have filed the closure report before the magistrate and the court will give its judgement," said Sagar. "But the case has not yet been dropped. It will be decided after court will ask the complainant if he agrees with the police report. The result will come only in January as the court will be closed for a week for Christmas," said lawyer Sudhir Gupta.
Gupta is representing the 21-year-old students.
Shaheen had posted a comment on Facebook questioning Mumbai's shutdown on Bal Thackeray's funeral and her friend Rinu had liked it. The duo were arrested by cops and later released on bail.
"People like Thackeray are born and die daily and one should not observe a bandh for that," Dhada had reportedly written on her Facebook wall. Dhada's friend Rinu "liked" her comment and landed in the legal trouble. The duo were reportedly booked under Section 295(a) of the IPC (for hurting religious sentiments) and Section 64(a) of the Information Technology Act, 2000. They were later granted bail on surety of Rs 15,000 each.

- About Bertazzoni
Italians are renowned for their passionate love of food. And in the late 19th century, Antonio Bertazzoni and his father Francesco set out to build an oven that would embody that love. So it was only fitting when the judges of the Florence Exhibition pronounced their love for the range, awarding it the Grand Cup of Honor and Gold Medal. Many would argue that it was, in fact, the perfect oven. But perfection was only the starting point, and Antonio's descendants have been refining his creation ever since, with their Professional Series Gas Ranges.
In addition to the Professional Series, the Bertazzoni's have launched the Modular Series, which represents the latest thinking in interior architecture. It redefines the kitchen as an environment of individually arranged modules, blending appliances and furniture into a highly functional design statement.
