|Fantasy and Reality Mix in Welcome Center Show
|Art - Reviews
|Tuesday, 30 April 2002 18:00
Fantastic reality meets realistic fantasy in the two-woman show of Catherine Jones Davies and Dorothy Beach running through May at the Mississippi Valley Welcome Center in LeClaire. While Davies' paintings tackle reality with the style of Expressionism, Beach takes a realistic approach to whimsical subject matter.
The artists have affordably priced their works in this show, so there are some good buys to be had.
Catherine Jones Davies' work reminds me of the Expressionist style of Edward Munch or Max Beckman, sometimes called the German Expressionists. This is interesting because Davies lived in Germany for 15 years before making her home in Anamosa, Iowa. While in Germany, Davies won several awards, including being the only American chosen as a finalist in the Sickingen Kunstpreis competition and inclusion in the 100th anniversary exhibition of the Salon des Independants in Paris. Her artist statement is direct and bold, just like her painting: "The starting point: no angst, exotic fantasy, or self-indulgent statements – just the everyday people, places, shapes, and colors I encounter. The process: linen, gesso, and thin washes of undercolor. Oil paint. Flat brushes. No palette knives, fan brushes, tricky tools, or trendy materials. Just me, the paint, and how it feels."
Davies' painting uses bold strokes of color to depict landscapes and scenes that are realistic without the realism. For example, Heading Home is the view from a combine or tractor window as a farmer crosses his fields. Of course, the field is portrayed in jagged lightning bolts of primary and secondary colors: reds, yellows, blues, greens, and oranges. It is easy to identify what the objects are, because they are painted in an abstract style that captures the scene.
Dorothy Beach's works, on the other hand, are flights of fantasy, as her menagerie seems to be obsessed with tea and tea parties for this show. I first met Beach when she ran the pot shop at the Davenport Museum of Art's Beaux Arts building for the now defunct DMA Potters' Guild. I liked her work then, and I like it now. Dorothy's artist statement also accurately sums up her style: "I enjoy working with clay. The feel of it and how it can be easily manipulated lends itself to the way I create. It allows me to be spontaneous. Working on a series seems the most rewarding. One thought leads to the next. This allows me to stay focused and creative. Although I make my living as a clay artist, it is not just a job – it is my passion."
We can get an idea of the series incorporated in this show by listing some of the titles of her clay sculptures: Tea Set, Mini Tea Set, Two Boxes, Underwater Party, Two Old Tea Bags, Frog Sipping Tea, and Tea Party. Beach uses a whimsical, realistic caricature style in rendering her sculptures of the animals enjoying their tea. There is a Lewis Carroll/Alice in Wonderland quality (without Carroll's obsession with pre-pubescent young girls and cocaine) to the way Dorothy depicts her animals.
Beach's sculptures are typically about one cubic foot in size. Her material is stoneware clay with high-fire glazes, and as a result her works gravitate toward earth tones. Beach also maintains a studio and retail showroom called Dot's Pots in Moline.
This is a very good show with some very affordable art. Most of Davies' work falls in the $300 to $500 range, while Beach's clay ranges in price from $8 to $235, with most works around $100.

Recent Key Colony Beach reviews
"This slice of paradise that Cheryl and Freddie shared with us was exactly that! When we arrived this beautiful home was so much more than we expected! First, the booking experience and communication between us and the Fosters was quick and friendly! They answered every question we had the same day we asked. When we arrived for our vacation this home was extremely clean and welcoming! We rented a boat and kept it right out the back door for easy use as well. The patio was clean and the decor was very relaxing! The fish in the water was so much fun to watch as well as the beautiful iguanas that visit during the day! We had 6 of us staying there and there was more than enough room for all of us! Our kids absolutely loved the home as well! The only thing negative was having to leave this beautiful home that was shared with us! When we are able to plan another trip to key colony this is the first and hopefully the only house we will see is available! The community was very friendly and welcoming as well. Everyone we ran into knew the Fosters and told us how wonderful they are! We can see this in how well kept and inviting their home is! If it is available we highly recommend you stay here!!!! Not only will you have a beautiful home to stay in you will also have amazing people there for you if you need anything!"Guest: Sara S.

"Lemon Drop is an excellent choice for a stay in The Key Colony/marathon location. The house is in walking distance to the beach clubs, bars, and restaurants within the neighborhood-- so it makes it easy, without having to pack everything in the car and hit the road. The home is clean & comfortable with many sleeping options as well as outdoor entertaining. Whether you want to fish off the docks, have a meal outside or drinks in the pool... You've got it made at this property! Have stayed here 2 years in a row with our family and there's no need to look anywhere else. :)"Guest: maura n. Date of Stay: September 2014 Review Submitted: October 10, 2014View listing
"This is the PERFECT vacation home!! 2 large bedrooms, 2 baths, family sized living room and everything you could possibly need for a wonderful tropical vacation. Situated in the middle of the Keys so everything is within easy driving distance. Snorkeling, fishing, boating, kayaking, eating, swimming or just laying back on the PRIVATE Inch Beach. I rented through Gails Island Realty and they were the BEST!. We forgot a few items in our hurry to pack and they are even sending them to me. Totally wonderful experience!!"Guest: JanParrot Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 21, 2015View listing
"This is the 3rd year we vacationed here. We always have a great time. This year my daughter with the help of my husband caught an 85 lb lemon shark. We always catch a bunch of fish off he dock. The house is in a great location. We had dinner again at Sparkys (yummy) & the new place we tried was the Island Fish Company. Food was awesome and you can feed the fish off their pier. Its a must. The Cabana Club - I love the renovations,great pool & hot tub and the snackshack for teenagers is great. We also visited the turtle hospital which was nice. One of my favorite things is the wildlife & sealife I see at your house. From Cranes,Pelicans, Dolphins,Manatees, jellyfish etc. I love to sit on the patio with my my coffee in the morning & my wine in the evening. Can't wait to return next year."Guest: Holli F.

Gallery: Is the Arctic About to be Ravaged in a Search for Oil and Othe...
The Arctic has long been described as a goldmine of untapped resources, and in recent years it has been the site for some international chest-thumping and the attempted claiming of rights. But given what lies beneath, it is not hard to understand why. According to the US Geological Survey, the Arctic potentially holds an estimated 90 billion barrels of oil (13% of the world's recoverable oil reserves), up to 50 trillion cubic metres of natural gas (about 30% of the world's natural gas reserves), and 44 billion barrels of natural gas liquids – not to mention assorted precious metals and minerals. As a result, the race is on for various countries to exploit these reserves. However, rightfully so, scientists are worried about the environmental damage that could be unleashed on the region.

"We made this a venue and accomodation card. It turned out great and we were able to fit the venue and three hotel locations on it. Again, they were great with editing in adding commas where we should have put them. This card was very complimentary to the whole invitation theme!"
"Quality of painting and paper was great, I used the signature matte card stock and it felt very sturdy. Easily customizable to match my invitation. Designer/reviewer gave great feedback quickly. Very satisfied overall!"
"Beautiful paper front and back! The blush pink was exactly theright color! The designer was able to add special characters to enhance the instruction information ( ie: upside down exclaimation point to a Spanish expression I used) .I would have liked just a bit larger card, but that didn 't stop me from coordinating it with the invitation. I suggest changing the boarders on each card used in your invitation to add style to the packet."
"I changed the direction card to Accommodations card. WPD was very helpful in customizing my text. Once I received the finished product it looked great. Pink text at the top matches the Tea Rose invitation perfectly & paper thickness matched the invitation."
"This small card provided the perfect way to add extra information to the invitation about website and registry that is not typically part of the formal invitation. I wish the card had been slightly larger. After the creative team sent the first proof , they were able to "tweek" the colors and get them just right. The customer service representative was profoundly knowledgeable and listened to everything that I mentioned to her. Overall, this product and the ordering experience was superb."

Paulson: New great awakening is needed
In a recent journey that connected two different times and two different continents, I've come to appreciate two men who went "viral" struggling in a mighty way to find God's will for their lives.
One was Martin Luther, whose stand triggered the Reformation in 1517. The other was Glenn Beck, whose recent Restoring Honor Rally touched hundreds of thousands in attendance and even more watching from afar.
One took advantage of the printing press, the other the Internet and the media. Both risked taking a stand for God, freedom and individual responsibility.
Martin Luther, serving God in a remote German village, helped unleash the fire of a living faith that transformed an age. When called to recant his views against the abuses of the Catholic Church of his time, he made his memorable stand:
"I cannot and will not recant anything, for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. Here I stand. I can do no other, so help me God. Amen." Our guide observed, "As a result of Luther, faith was on fire for God."
Aug. 28, on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Glenn Beck avoided partisan politics and called on Americans to get on their knees and get right with God. For it was only then that America would again find its way. Like Luther centuries before him, Beck called for an awakening to the power of faith in God.
His message rings true with our Founding Fathers' understanding of the importance of faith in preserving freedom. In George Washington's Farewell Address, our first president and Founding Father affirmed our common patriotic pride supported by diverse, religious citizens "with only slight shades of difference."
He warned, "reason and experience both forbid us to expect, that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle."
Our second president, John Adams, went even further: "We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge, or gallantry, would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."
The beginning and end of the Declaration of Independence provided the anchors for Beck's Restoring Honor Rally — "We, the people, with the firm reliance on the protection of divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor."
For believers, the answer isn't burning the Quran in Florida; it's adding some fire to one's own faith. We'd be wise to claim the three anchors that Beck affirmed — faith, hope and charity. People of faith don't just spend and save their earned income; they provide charity and support those in need.
To Beck, changing politicians would provide shortlived progress. What is needed is a new great awakening that would renew a commitment to individual responsibility, Constitutional principles and God. History will tell whether that awakening occurs.

Millair Company Instaflator
By Raymond Estrella
September 06, 2011
NAME: Raymond Estrella
EMAIL: rayestrellaAThotmailDOTcom
LOCATION: North Western Minnesota, USA
HEIGHT: 6' 3" (1.91 m)
WEIGHT: 215 lb (97.50 kg)
I've been backpacking for over 30 years, all over California, Minnesota, and many western states. I hike year-round in all weather, and average 500+ miles (800+ km) per year. I make a point of using lightweight gear, and smaller volume packs. Doubting I can ever be truly UL, I try to be as light as I can yet still be comfortable. I start early and hike hard so as to enjoy the afternoons exploring/chilling. I usually take a freestanding tent and enjoy hot evening meals. If not hiking solo I am usually with my brother-in-law Dave or my twin children.
The Product
Manufacturer: Millair Company
Web site: www.themillair.com
Product: The Instaflator
Listed weight: N/A
Actual weight: 1.4 oz (39.7 g)
Adaptor weight: 0.3 oz (8.5 g)
Quick & Dirty, Nitty Gritty
The shortest review I have ever written is also for the least expensive piece of gear I have ever reviewed, and is also one of the things I will never leave for a winter trip without. The Instaflator is hands down the fastest, lightest, and easiest way I have ever found to get air into my sleeping pads. And the fact that it does it without adding moisture is a God-send for backpacking in extreme cold. Read on, it won't take long.;-)
Product Description
The Millair Company Instaflator (hereafter called the Instaflator) is merely a tube of plastic that is gathered at one end and attached to a with a diameter of in ( mm). This is made to fit the small mouth-valves associated with pool toys, beach balls and such. To facilitate use with backpacking pads' wider valves the company sends an adaptor made of clear tubing that slides over the Instaflator nozzle and the pad's valve. Below is the Instaflator with tube attached.
Operation is quite easy as I shall demonstrate on a Large NeoAir in the Dinkey Lakes Wilderness. Merely unroll the Instaflator and attach it to the open valve on the pad.
Now I stretch the Instaflator out to its full length and open the end. If the wind is blowing I can let the tube fill with air by itself. If it is still I just blow one breath into the tube to make the walls open. It fills with air the rest of the way by itself.
Now I close the end of the Instaflator and roll the tube down towards the pad. Pushing on it speeds the process but just rolling it up works too.
Once the pad is full I pull the Instaflator loose from the valve and close it. That's it!
Field Conditions
The only time I took the Instaflator on a 3-season trip was the Dinkey Lakes trip in the photos above. It was great weather at 9000 ft (2743 m) elevation.
Great weather was not the norm for all the other trips I took it on, mainly seven multi-day winter trips in northern Minnesota. Most of the trips were on the North Country Trail in Itasca State Park, Paul Bunyan and Mississippi Headwaters State Forests and Chippewa National Forest. The most memorable trip was 3 days backpacking in Voyageurs National Park where we were just a couple miles from the border of Canada. It got down to -31 F (-35 C) on that trip. As a norm though the temps averaged around 0 F (-18 C) and all camp sites were on snow.
As is obvious in my reviews I do a lot of winter backpacking and some winter camping. One of the biggest problems I encounter in winter is inflating my pads. When inflating a pad by mouth a lot of moisture is introduced inside the pad. In very cold temperatures this moisture will freeze inside where it is there to stay until such time as I can get it home and warm to melt the ice crystals and flush the moisture out with dry air. (A process that can take quite a while I might add.) While the added moisture and slowly growing weight of an affected pad is bad enough, as I have switched long ago to down filled pads in winter (see reviews) it is more of a problem. If the moisture reacts with the down before freezing it will cause down to clump negating much of its insulating power. The more it happens the less the pad will insulate. This could be dangerous at the temperatures I (try to) sleep at.
I have used many devices to inflate my pads. None of them are fun, all of them take a long time and they all weigh too much as far as I am concerned.
I heard about the Instaflator from a friend that saw it at a pool supply company. I decided right away to give it a try and got one. On the trip to Dinky Lakes I used it on a Large NeoAir, a pad that takes a lot of puffs to blow up. About 30 big breaths for me. The Instaflator did it with three, and those were just to get the tube to open as there was no wind. It took just over two-and-a-half of the tube-fulls to inflate it. While I was impressed (and started talking about it on gear forums) I wanted to wait to call it a success until I saw if it would work in winter. I was concerned that the plastic would become brittle at low temperatures and pop.
Well my worries were unfounded. The Instaflator did awesome for me all last winter (2010/11), including the night at McCarty Lakes in the Paul Bunyan State Forest seen above. The part of Minnesota that I am in is almost always windy so I rarely have to even use the one puff to start the tube expanding. And my winter biggest pad takes only two fill-ups to inflate. (I just ordered a bigger one, maybe I will need three fill-ups, ooh that will be a hardship not!)
At a total weight with adaptor of only 1.7 oz (48.2 g) I would not mind carrying two on a long trip just for redundancy. I could carry three of them and it would still be lighter than my pump-sack.
Now while I do not have a problem with it (yet) many of my friends complain about trying to blow up their pads when at high elevation. They complain of "running out of air" and getting dizzy. I let them use, or refer them to, the Instaflator to avoid the lung abuse.
The Instaflator is a permanent addition to my winter kit and I really don't expect to ever be without one again.

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Colorado Finds a Radical Way to Prevent Teen Pregnancies and Abortions
By Alan Wolfe $17.13
By Eugene Robinson
Now free to pursue a radical agenda, David Cameron will lead Britain even further down the murky path of austerity, privatization, increased surveillance and jingoism.
Cancer and end-of-life services relied on by some 3.8 million beneficiaries of the British National Health Service may be sold off to private U.S. health care companies that will be free to restructure the services along lines of profitability rather than quality of care.
Speaking at the United Kingdom's Labour Party conference Wednesday in what seems like poetic verse, the nearly century-old Harry Smith recalls his youth in the tenements of England, the "desperation of poverty" and the horrors of life before the National Health Service was implemented, all of which inspired him to vote for the first time.
The U.K.'s cherished public health service is in danger of being sold off to private corporations via a trade deal that would create a single market between the European Union and the United States and open future British governments to massive lawsuits in international courts should they attempt to reverse the decision.

In order to profit from high exchange rates on the international market, British pharmacists and wholesalers have limited the amount of certain drugs being sold to the National Health Service. The action has resulted in a shortage that has endangered patients with life-threatening conditions and inconvenienced many others.

OT- fried chicken help
Add a bit of cayenne and garlic powder to the mix. Fried the chicken till it's crispy, and then bake it in the oven if it's not up to temp.
momma of 3
baby # 1 - 3/28/12 lost at 5weeks
baby #2 EDD 4/23/13 - It's a boy!! Born on 5/3/13
I dip mine in a mixture of egg, buttermilk, and a dash of tabasco sauce. Then bread it in the flour, salt, and pepper mix. Fry it until it's cripsy then finish baking it in the oven.
Your heat is too high from what it sounds like - also, I like Tony Chachere's Creole seasoning, garlic powder and flour mix (can add a bit of salt and pepper to taste). I never need to bake my chicken - just turn down the heat on your frying pan and let it cook longer.

At the Gibson Area Hospital Annex we pride ourselves on providing the comforts of home while having the conveniences of hospital services just down the hall. Whether a resident is here for a short period of time or for long term, we want to make their stay comfortable and enjoyable. Our goal is to deliver resident-centered care that promotes dignity and the highest quality of life.
At the Annex we pride ourselves on the fact that our staffing is well above federal guidelines. This allows us to provide more 1 on 1 attention to our residents. Because we are a small home we are able to get to know our residents and their families very well. To us, our residents are family.
The Annex being attached to Gibson Area Hospital provides us with numerous benefits. One such benefit is our "Rehab to Home" program. At the Annex we are able to utilize the hospital therapy staff and equipment. This allows for a quick and seamless transition for our residents who need that extra time and therapy to be able to return home.
Another great benefit to being connected to Gibson Area Hospital is that resident doctor's appointments and lab work are easily accomplished. We do not have to arrange for transportation with family members or a transportation service; we simply take our residents directly to their appointments and tests.
Our dedicated and caring nursing team looks forward to taking care of you or your loved one.
Tisha Painter, RN, WCC, Director of Nursing

OTN Virtual Technology Summit
By David Delabassee-Oracle on Nov 05, 2014
OTN Virtual Technology Summit is a free event so make sure to register for this month OTN VTS!
OTN Virtual Technology Summit is a free event so make sure to register for this month OTN VTS!
As of today, there are already 3 Java EE 7 compatible Application Servers, coming from different 'vendors' (Oracle, TmaxSoft and Red Hat). Two of those Java EE 7 Application Servers are free and open source. We expect the list of Java EE 7 compatible Application Servers to grow over the coming months.
According to a recent independent survey, one third of the Java EE users who participated in that survey is already using Java EE 7. This is a good sign but it also means that a lot of people are not yet on Java EE 7. So if you haven't yet embarked on Java EE 7, now is really the time to do so!
There are many more ways to learn Java EE but if I have to suggest one and only one way, I would recommend the Java EE 7 Tutorial. It's exhaustive and clear, it's free and it continues to evolve.
And finally as the introductory quote suggest, participation is key to learning. Participate in JUGs, participate in Adopt-a-JSR, get involved in the different open source communities evolving around Java EE, participate in the JCP... in one word, participate!
I just found out but Sang has been teaching a series of 1-day free training sessions on JavaFX, MySQL and GlassFish. The full list is at his JavaPassion Site but by now there are only 3 days left, so check it out and signup if you are interested and available.
June 24th, Atlanta, GA
James Falkner and Prashant Dighe will give an Overview of WebSynergy TODAY (Thursday) - 11am PT, Sept 11th, 2008. You can join us via a concall (free if in the US, caller-paid overseas) or online via TheAquarium @ uStream.TV.
For more details check out the OverviewOfWebSynergy page at the TheAquarium wiki. The plan (with the usual comment about mice and men) is to record the presentation.
Updated Slides are available now at the wiki page.

For more details check out the IntroAndOverviewToOSGi page at the TheAquarium wiki. The plan (with the usual comment about mice and men) is to record the presentation.
I will tag similar entries with See GlassFishTV.
Here are wwo ways to get into EJB 3.x. For the complete beginner, Adam has a EJB 3.0 in 5 minutes. And for the advanced user, PACKT Books just published Michael Sikora's EJB 3 Developer Guide home page, TOC, Amazon). Both use the GlassFish Server
For a while I thought that EJBs were always going to be - or be perceived as - "too (conceptual) heavy"; maybe EJB 3.1 and EJB3.1 lite will actually change this. More EJB notes at EJB posts at TA
Sun offers quite a number of training courses, and some of them are even free. Some I noticed this week:
Trond highlights two very interesting free Webinars next week with top speakers (tip): "Highly scalable solutions with MySQL and Memcached" (Wed) and "Designing and Implementing Scalable Applications with Memcached and MySQL" (Thu).
Marina points to free Student Courses as part of the resources at the Student Portal.
Arun and Daniel mention Sang's latest course on Ruby and Rails. Sang's Java Passion site has many good online courses using the GlassFish Server, including JavaEE, Web Services and EJB.
Sun has many other courses, sometimes it's just a bit hard to find them. For example, the site for online and in classroom courses offered by Sun is http://www.sun.com/training and many of these are related to GlassFish, but a Search for "glassfish" will yield only a few of those.
We are working to fix that last problem, and I try to capture courses I know at GlassFishForBusiness, but what we really need is a full-time librarian... ideally a super one, like Conan the Librarian.
Amis B.V. is hosting a workshop on the GlassFish Server, OpenESB and NetBeans this next week, Thursday, May 22nd, in their offices in Nieuwegein (Google Maps). Presenters are Wouter and Alexis.
Check out the Event Details and Wouter's Note.
AMIS has traditionally focused on Oracle consultancy (see their Activities Page); it is very nice to see them adding some GlassFish activities.
Please let us know if your company or community is hosting GlassFish-related events and we will provide it extra visibility. The only way GF will reach really wide adoption is with the help of many hands.
I had not noticed that the Enterprise Tech Tips is now available as a Blog (with associated feeds - RSS and Atom). For example, here is the Japex entry we highlighted recently. And yesterday (Monday) Sun released its financial results via a News feed. The world has changed; our engineering team could not work without Feeds (and Roller!).
BTW, Ed is soliciting your suggestions on Tech Tip topics.
The next "Ask the Experts" is on the Open Source Java Project. This will give the Java community an opportunity to ask questions about Sun's open source initiatives, including GlassFish.
Got a question about Sun's open-sourcing of its Java platform implementations? Read the FAQ . Then post any follow-up questions during this Ask the Experts session, week of Jan. 16-19, and get answers from representatives of Sun's Java platform implementations.
The Java EE 5 Tutorial has been available online for a while, but on Nov 6th (2006) it also went on-print. It should be available for purchase at technical bookstores and online - see for example at Amazon.Com.
I had lost track of one of our earliest bloggers: Filippo (perhaps in part because he moved his blog to a new location?). Anyhow, he has New Java EE 5 book, has been in a J2EE to Java EE Tour (see the video) and most recently has been Using GlassFish "in the trenches". His report is positive:
...The overall impression by now is very positive. In less than four days I've been able to sketch a prototype of an integration project and, most important, to learn other interesting features of the platform...
He is promising more blogs on the topic, and we will report on them...
We have added more presentations to the Presentations Page at the GlassFish Wiki, including:
• OpenSource Middleware Communities covered by TheAquarium
Remember that training class you Helped Fine-Tune?, the real thing is now available as a 2-day, 6-module, Java EE 5 in-depth Web-based course. The list of courses and presenters is very complete: Overview (Bill), EJB 3 (Linda and Ken), JavaPersistence (Linda), Web Services (Roberto, Rajiv, and Dhiru), Web Tier (Ed and Jan) and Java Blueprints (Inderjeet and Greg).
Full content of the Sun's catalog is here. The Training Options are: Classroom, Live via the Web, Recorded, via the Web, CD-ROM, and Team Training. Classroom training requires on-site instructors and this is a global operation, so, if you are interested, check the Instructor Certification Process.
Check New and Upcoming courses; what other areas would you want to see covered? What about JAXB 2.0? What else?
Topics include Open Source, GlassFish, JavaEE, Cloud, Web Services, WebSockets, Jersey, Tyrus, Metro, Grizzly and more

Radical's forthcoming illustrated novel, Jake the Dreaming will be available for the iPad (and iPhone) around December 2011. I do know that it's the story of boyhood, forever tilting at the world, reimagining the world as it adventures its way through. Jake discovers the power to walk into others' dreams and save them from Nocturnus, the demon that would poison sleep forever. It's also the story of technological shifts inscribing a new cultural story. And, speculating on 40 years down the line, it seems to be a story that will not need a second act.

Personalized Christmas Ornament or Personalized Christmas Table Top Decoration

Ornaments shown on our site are personalized, as examples only, so you can see where we put the words/names you give us. Some ornaments allow you to select hair or uniform color. If there is no color choice, it is not available on that particular ornament. We will do everything possible to catch any mistakes in spelling, etc., but are not responsible if we do as you request, and it is then not correct. The ornament you see above is the way it will look when you get it, except for the personalizing instructions you give us and any optional attributes you select.

I have to say Debbie of course working with you is on the top of the list. It is too bad that the ornaments do not show their true colors and the quality of workmanship browsing online....the actual item is much superior! The detail of each ornament is over the TOP. Thank you so very much....it was Christmas in July at my house today, plus 4 days of course being August 4. Best Regards, Suzanna LaG."
6/13/2015 - "The Post Office truck glass ornament is outstanding! It is one of the presents I'm already looking forward to giving on Christmas to my son-in-law who is a mailman. He will love it! I wish all the ornaments could have a choice of hair color. My children are blonde and my son-in-law has black hair. That would be outstanding. Jan A."
