Stress and God's Built-in Neuro-sabbath
"For a few moments, it felt like our little church community was surrounded by glory. The wisdom of Christ in the hypothalamus was illumining the wisdom of Christ in the prophets and gospels."
Walking the Walk: Thoreau and the art of seeing nature
What can a practicing scientist in the 21st century—even a "bench scientist" like me whose scientific forays are confined to a laboratory—glean from a 19th century wanderer like Thoreau?
God's Extravagant Love in Creation
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
Evolution and Faith in Latin America, Part 2
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Francis Collins by the Book
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
Faith, Science and Metaphors
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
Hydrology of the Bow River
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
Psalm for the January Thaw
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Frenetic Sequence
We tend to think of creativity in terms of flashes of insight and brilliance, of novelty, and especially of unexpected things bursting upon the scene. But creativity is no less creative and no less remarkable when it proceeds step by step, according to discipline, according to rule.
Stumble On
The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design (5 entries)
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Series: Beauty, Science and Theology (3 entries)
It doesn't take a scientist to appreciate the beauty with which God has arrayed his creation. But scientists do have the opportunity (and training) to appreciate different kinds of beauty than do most non-scientists, whether they are ordinarily "hidden" in the extremes of scale, the elegant processes of an experiment, or in the abstraction of mathematics. Indeed the appreciation of various kinds of beauty has always played a critical role in motivating scientists to investigate the world, and in helping them decipher its workings. In the three-part essay, Ruth Bancewicz explores some of the ways beauty, science and theology intertwine.
Fine-tuning and the "Fruitful Universe"
I ask the question, "Why is the universe so special?" Now scientists don't like things to be special; we like things to be general, and our natural anticipation would have been that the universe is just a common specimen of what a universe might be like.
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism, Part 2
Barkley suggests that material creation is not the end of our understanding (as Naturalists think), but a beginning that unveils the majestic and power of a Creator who loves us.
Saturday Sermon: Over and Above Naturalism
Pastor Joseph Barkley of Ecclesia Church extols the greatness of the God who has brought forth incredible works and engaged humankind in relationship. In the first part of the sermon "Over and Above Naturalism," Barkley admires the factual knowledge unlocked by science, and yet reminds the Church that those material descriptions fail to answer the question of ultimate significance.
Series: The Wonder of the Universe (3 entries)
BioLogos is pleased to share excerpts from Karl Giberson's book The Wonder of the Universe: Hints of God in a Fine-Tuned World. It presents a two-part argument: in the first section Giberson outlines the history of our understanding of the universe, emphasizing the reliability of our knowledge of its properties and its history. In particular he outlines the remarkable evidence of design. In part two of the book, however, he discusses the complexities of drawing inferences from the design of the universe, cautioning against arguments that fine-tuning of the universe proves the existence of God.
Understanding Evolution: The Evolutionary Origins of Irreducible Complexity, Part 1
I will take some time to clarify exactly how Michael Behe, the biochemist and Intelligent Design (ID) proponent who has most extensively developed the "irreducible complexity" argument, uses the term.

Technically this violates our anonymity policy, but considering this guy's made national news I doubt it's a concern.
Thad McMichael, online alias madthad, began garnering e-infamy a few years ago when 4chan's /a/ got ahold of his Facebook. As pictured above, he created a fake "Mai Waifu" page with a picture of Kotonoha Katsura from School Days through which he would roleplay with himself; he also bragged often and openly about his paedophilia and masturbating to child pornography. His facebook seems to have since been cleared of posts, but it's not hard to find screencaps through Google. He also filmed a video of himself nude and humping a Kotonoha body pillow which made the rounds on Tumblr.
Earlier this year he was finally arrested and charged with possession of child pornography. Fair warning to the curious - his tumblr and most of the news articles quoting him exemplify his really, really gross attitudes towards child rape, including a great deal of misogyny and victim blaming. Don't investigate any further if you're triggered by that sort of stuff.

Biblical Baby Names
Few books have inspired more baby names than the Bible. Epic tales of miracles and catastrophes, the creation of the world, and the divine hand of God depict the triumph of the human spirit and faith. In times of uncertainty and war (or peace and prosperity), Biblical names are enduring and timeless. Here are some common themes and namesakes.
Jacob's Ladder: Biblical Names in the Top 10
Jacob is the most popular boy's name in the United States (according to the 2007 US Social Security Administration). It took the patriarch of the 12 tribes of Israel just five years to move from number nine to number one in 1999, and it has remained at the top ever since. Joining Jacob in the top 10 are the names Michael, Ethan, Joshua, Daniel, Christopher, Matthew, and Andrew.
Like a group of tussling, unruly brothers, the top five boys' names have jostled each other for position. Jacob bumped Michael to number two in 1999. Then last year Ethan pushed Joshua, which has been in the top five since 1983, out of the third spot to number four. In the Old Testament, Joshua led the Israelites to the Promised Land, succeeding Moses as the leader of his people.
There are even more Biblical names crowded in the top 20: Alexander, David, Joseph, Noah, James, John, and Nicholas. By comparison, only two Biblical names—Abigail and Hannah—stand in the top 10 girls' names.
Rising star: The third son of Jacob and Leah, the prophet Levi counted Moses and Aaron among his descendants in the Levite tribe. In the New Testament, Levi was the original name of Matthew. Currently at #132, Levi is fast approaching a popularity it has not enjoyed since the late 1880s and will only continue to rise now that Matthew McConaughey has chosen the name for his son.
Genesis, the first book of the Bible, tells the story of creation, follows the tale of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, their sons Cain and Abel, Noah's ark, and the Tower of Babel. Genesis, which means "beginning" in Hebrew, has become a fashionable name for girls in recent years, climbing from #757 to #139 between 1988 and 2007.
Not surprisingly, Eden has also become a trendy girl's name, evoking visions of paradise on earth and a garden of delights. Desperate Housewives star, Marcia Cross, named one of her twin daughters, Eden. Between 1986 to 2007, the name has risen from #958 to #257. A slight variation on the spelling, Edun is the name of a socially-conscious, nature-inspired clothing company co-founded by Bono.
Rising star: Another name with utopian connotations for parents is Zion, which means "highest point" in Hebrew. A symbolic name for the city of Jerusalem, Zion first debuted as a girl's name in 2005 at #1002, but quickly progressed to #576 within two years. Today Zion is more popular as a boy's name. In 2007, it was ranked #236.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Hydropower Country Notes
Czech Republic
The overall potential for all sizes of hydropower is quite modest (technically exploitable capability: 3 978 GWh/yr). Total hydroelectricity output in 2005 was 2 401 GWh, representing 60% of the technical potential. Hydropower furnishes about 3% of the republic's electricity generation.
A relatively high proportion (nearly 40%) of the technically exploitable capability is classified as suitable for small-scale schemes; installed capacity in this category at the end of 2005 was 277 MW, equivalent to about 27% of the Czech Republic's hydro capacity. Actual generation from small-scale schemes in 2005 accounted for nearly 45% of hydro output, reflecting the higher average capacity factor achieved by small hydro compared with the larger stations.

Bauer 4-Roll Elite Senior Hockey Gloves (11)
0 / 5 Stars
Write a Review
No Reviews Yet
On sale now for:$64.99
Pure Hockey Says: Bauer`s 4-Roll Elite hockey glove mirrors the LOOK of Bauer`s traditional and extremely popular 4-Roll gloves, but with more basic protection. For example, the foams on the Elite glove are double-density (the more expensive 4-Roll has EPP foam) and the liner is Bauer`s Hydrophobic mesh, not the ThermoMax liner found in the higher priced 4-Roll. Also, these are not embroidered gloves, they are simply printed. Don`t let ANY of this worry you - you are still looking at a very durable and protective glove here. As with all Bauer 4-Roll gloves, this is the widest fit of the three Bauer lines, so if you like your gloves a little wide and loose (like many players do), then this is a real good and cost-effective glove for you.
* Foams – Double density
* Thumb – Ergo construction
* Shell – Stretch matrix nylon
* Overall Fit – Traditional volume fit
* Fingers – 2-piece segmented fingers
* Palm – CLARINO® grey nashLiner – Hydrophobic mesh

Anxiety is a dilemma that all of us have faced some time in our lives, and we wonder "is this who I really am? Are there others like me?" Why do some people become more excited than others, although each may have experienced, relatively speaking, the same factors ? Well, people react differently due to heredity, perhaps biological factors, or even how each was raised as a child.
Dear Savvy Senior, What can you tell me about music therapy for Alzheimer's patients? I'm helping my dad take care of my 80-year-old mother who has mid-stage Alzheimer's disease and thought it might be something worth trying. How do we proceed? Unmusical Mary
Dear Mary,
During certain times in our lives, all of us have experienced most, if not all of the above. But, I have had more clients/patients who have had a combination of worry and fear (often being unable to determine which one is first and which one is second). I'm going to address these issues by concentrating on anxiety, which seems to arrive accompanied by both, although one may be more prevalent than the other.
Dear Savvy Senior What can you tell me about the shingles vaccine? I just turned 65 and have been thinking about getting vaccinated, but would like to know how effective it is and how it's covered by Medicare. Afraid of Needles
Dear Afraid,
Divorce is is a term which is usually full of emotional expressions. Some have anticipated it as a sort of relief from emotional pain and hurt, while others dread it like an unwanted plague that has the potential to devastate a whole family. As I have worked with many divorced persons, and also victims (other family members, including, of course childen), it is no wonder that in one of the Old Testament books of the Bible, it is stated that God hates "putting away" (meaning divorce).
Dear Savvy Senior, What tips or resources can you recommend to help seniors with their driving skills? My 84-year-old mother is still a capable driver, but she has declined a little in recent years and could definitely use some help. Concerned Daughter
Dear Concerned, With more and more Americans driving well into their 70s, 80s and beyond, there are lots of tips, tools and programs available today to help elderly seniors drive safer and longer. Here are several that may help.
Dear Savvy Senior, What are the best websites for finding reliable health information on the Internet? I usually do a Google search on a symptom, drug or health condition when I want to research something, but with so much information out there I'm not sure what I can trust. Untrusting Senior
Dear Untrusting,
Today's column will be different than any you have read over the past nearly two years. Yet, today's may be one of the most valuable ones ever written, especially as it relates to how a lifetime of a friendship can and should get better and last forever.
Potatoes are the top food eaten alongside grilled main dishes, according to the NPD Group, so why not put potatoes on the grill too? Try grilling thick potato planks, skewered potato chunks, or colorful halved fingerlings in a zesty rub like these Flame-Licked Fingerlings, created by award-winning cookbook authors Karen Adler and Judith Fertig, also known as the "BBQ Queens."
Many years ago, a song was recorded which repeatedly stated, "we all need somebody to lean on." You can be that "somebody" if you move out of your comfort zone and make yourself available.

The Spring Framework is an open source application framework and inversion of control container for the Java platform.[3]
The first version was written by Rod Johnson, who released the framework with the publication of his book Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development in October 2002. The framework was first released under the Apache 2.0 license in June 2003. The first milestone release, 1.0, was released in March 2004, with further milestone releases in September 2004 and March 2005. The Spring 1.2.6 framework won a Jolt productivity award and a JAX Innovation Award in 2006.[4][5] Spring 2.0 was released in October 2006, Spring 2.5 in November 2007, Spring 3.0 in December 2009, and Spring 3.1 in December 2011. The current version is 3.2.5, which was released in Nov 2013.[6] Spring Framework 4.0 is expected to be released by the end of 2013[7] with support for Java SE 8, Groovy 2, some aspects of Java EE7, and WebSockets.
The core features of the Spring Framework can be used by any Java application, but there are extensions for building web applications on top of the Java EE platform. Although the Spring Framework does not impose any specific programming model, it has become popular in the Java community as an alternative to, replacement for, or even addition to the Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) model.

The Spring Framework includes several modules that provide range of services:
- Inversion of control container: configuration of application components and lifecycle management of Java objects, done mainly via dependency injection
- Aspect-oriented programming: enables implementing cross-cutting concerns.
- Data access: working with relational database management systems on the Java platform using JDBC and object-relational mapping tools and with NoSQL databases
- Transaction management: unifies several transaction management APIs and coordinates transactions for Java objects
- Model–view–controller: an HTTP- and servlet-based framework providing hooks for extension and customization for web applications and RESTful web services.
- Remote access framework: configurative RPC-style marshalling of Java objects over networks supporting RMI, CORBA and HTTP-based protocols including web services (SOAP)
- Convention over configuration: a rapid application development solution for Spring-based enterprise applications is offered in the Spring Roo module
- Authentication and authorization: configurable security processes that support a range of standards, protocols, tools and practices via the Spring Security sub-project (formerly Acegi Security System for Spring).
- Remote management: configurative exposure and management of Java objects for local or remote configuration via JMX
- Messaging: configurative registration of message listener objects for transparent message-consumption from message queues via JMS, improvement of message sending over standard JMS APIs
- Testing: support classes for writing unit tests and integration tests
Inversion of control container (dependency injection)[edit]
Central to the Spring Framework is its inversion of control container, which provides a consistent means of configuring and managing Java objects using reflection. The container is responsible for managing object lifecycles of specific objects: creating these objects, calling their initialization methods, and configuring these objects by wiring them together.
Objects created by the container are also called managed objects or beans. The container can be configured by loading XML files or detecting specific Java annotations on configuration classes. These data sources contain the bean definitions which provide the information required to create the beans.
Objects can be obtained by means of either dependency lookup or dependency injection.[8] Dependency lookup is a pattern where a caller asks the container object for an object with a specific name or of a specific type. Dependency injection is a pattern where the container passes objects by name to other objects, via either constructors, properties, or factory methods.
In many cases one need not use the container when using other parts of the Spring Framework, although using it will likely make an application easier to configure and customize. The Spring container provides a consistent mechanism to configure applications and integrates with almost all Java environments, from small-scale applications to large enterprise applications.
The container can be turned into a partially compliant EJB3 container by means of the Pitchfork project. Some[who?] criticize the Spring Framework for not complying with standards.[9] However, SpringSource doesn't see EJB3 compliance as a major goal, and claims that the Spring Framework and the container allow for more powerful programming models.[10] You do not create an object, but describe how they should be created, by defining in Spring Config file. You do not call services and components, but tell which services and components must be called, by defining in spring configuration files. This makes the code easy to maintain, and easier to test through IOC.
Aspect-oriented programming framework[edit]
The Spring Framework has its own AOP framework which modularizes cross-cutting concerns in aspects. The motivation for creating a separate AOP framework comes from the belief that it would be possible to provide basic AOP features without too much complexity in either design, implementation, or configuration. The Spring AOP framework also takes full advantage of the Spring container.
The Spring AOP framework is proxy pattern-based, and is configured at run time. This removes the need for a compilation step or load-time weaving. On the other hand, interception only allows for public method-execution on existing objects at a join point.
Compared to the AspectJ framework, Spring AOP is less powerful but also less complicated. Spring 1.2 includes support to configure AspectJ aspects in the container. Spring 2.0 added more integration with AspectJ; for example, the pointcut language is reused and can be mixed with Spring AOP-based aspects. Further, Spring 2.0 added a Spring Aspects library which uses AspectJ to offer common Spring features such as declarative transaction management and dependency injection via AspectJ compile-time or load-time weaving. SpringSource also uses AspectJ for AOP in other Spring projects such as Spring Roo and Spring Insight, with Spring Security also offering an AspectJ-based aspect library.
Spring AOP has been designed to make it able to work with cross-cutting concerns inside the Spring Framework. Any object which is created and configured by the container can be enriched using Spring AOP.
The Spring Framework uses Spring AOP internally for transaction management, security, remote access, and JMX.
Since version 2.0 of the framework, Spring provides two approaches to the AOP configuration:
- schema-based approach and
- @AspectJ-based annotation style.
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:aop="http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/aop
The Spring team decided not to introduce new AOP-related terminology; therefore, in the Spring reference documentation and API, terms such as aspect, join point, advice, pointcut, introduction, target object (advised object), AOP proxy, and weaving all have the same meanings as in most other AOP frameworks (particularly AspectJ).
Data access framework[edit]
Spring's data access framework addresses common difficulties developers face when working with databases in applications. Support is provided for all popular data access frameworks in Java: JDBC, iBatis/MyBatis, Hibernate, JDO, JPA, Oracle TopLink, Apache OJB, and Apache Cayenne, among others.
For all of these supported frameworks, Spring provides these features
- Resource management - automatically acquiring and releasing database resources
- Exception handling - translating data access related exception to a Spring data access hierarchy
- Transaction participation - transparent participation in ongoing transactions
- Resource unwrapping - retrieving database objects from connection pool wrappers
- Abstraction for BLOB and CLOB handling
All these features become available when using template classes provided by Spring for each supported framework. Critics have said these template classes are intrusive and offer no advantage over using (for example) the Hibernate API directly.[11][not in citation given] In response, the Spring developers have made it possible to use the Hibernate and JPA APIs directly. This however requires transparent transaction management, as application code no longer assumes the responsibility to obtain and close database resources, and does not support exception translation.
Together with Spring's transaction management, its data access framework offers a flexible abstraction for working with data access frameworks. The Spring Framework doesn't offer a common data access API; instead, the full power of the supported APIs is kept intact. The Spring Framework is the only framework available in Java which offers managed data access environments outside of an application server or container.[citation needed]
While using Spring for transaction management with Hibernate, the following beans may have to be configured:
- A Datasource like
- A SessionFactory like
with a DataSource attribute - A HibernateProperties like
- A TransactionManager like
with a SessionFactory attribute
Other points of configuration include:
- An AOP configuration of cutting points.
- Transaction semantics of AOP advice[clarify].
Transaction management framework[edit]
Spring's transaction management framework brings an abstraction mechanism to the Java platform. Its abstraction is capable of:
- working with local and global transactions (local transaction does not require an application server)
- working with nested transactions
- working with savepoints
- working in almost all environments of the Java platform
In comparison, JTA only supports nested transactions and global transactions, and requires an application server (and in some cases also deployment of applications in an application server).
The Spring Framework ships a PlatformTransactionManager for a number of transaction management strategies:
- Transactions managed on a JDBC Connection
- Transactions managed on Object-relational mapping Units of Work
- Transactions managed via the JTA TransactionManager and UserTransaction
- Transactions managed on other resources, like object databases
Next to this abstraction mechanism the framework also provides two ways of adding transaction management to applications:
- Programmatically, by using Spring's TransactionTemplate
- Configuratively, by using metadata like XML or Java annotations (@Transactional, etc)
Together with Spring's data access framework — which integrates the transaction management framework — it is possible to set up a transactional system through configuration without having to rely on JTA or EJB. The transactional framework also integrates with messaging and caching engines.
Model-view-controller framework[edit]
The Spring Framework features its own MVC web application framework, which wasn't originally planned. The Spring developers decided to write their own web framework as a reaction to what they perceived as the poor design of the (then) popular Jakarta Struts web framework,[12] as well as deficiencies in other available frameworks. In particular, they felt there was insufficient separation between the presentation and request handling layers, and between the request handling layer and the model.[13]
Like Struts, Spring MVC is a request-based framework. The framework defines strategy interfaces for all of the responsibilities which must be handled by a modern request-based framework. The goal of each interface is to be simple and clear so that it's easy for Spring MVC users to write their own implementations if they so choose. MVC paves the way for cleaner front end code. All interfaces are tightly coupled to the Servlet API. This tight coupling to the Servlet API is seen by some as a failure on the part of the Spring developers to offer a high-level abstraction for web-based applications[citation needed]. However, this coupling makes sure that the features of the Servlet API remain available to developers while offering a high abstraction framework to ease working with said API.
The DispatcherServlet class is the front controller[14] of the framework and is responsible for delegating control to the various interfaces during the execution phases of a HTTP request.
The most important interfaces defined by Spring MVC, and their responsibilities, are listed below:
- HandlerMapping: selecting objects that handle incoming requests (handlers) based on any attribute or condition internal or external to those requests
- HandlerAdapter: execution of objects that handle incoming requests
- Controller: comes between Model and View to manage incoming requests and redirect to proper response. It acts as a gate that directs the incoming information. It switches between going into model or view.
- View: responsible for returning a response to the client. Some requests may go straight to view without going to the model part; others may go through all three.
- ViewResolver: selecting a View based on a logical name for the view (use is not strictly required)
- HandlerInterceptor: interception of incoming requests comparable but not equal to Servlet filters (use is optional and not controlled by DispatcherServlet).
- LocaleResolver: resolving and optionally saving of the locale of an individual user
- MultipartResolver: facilitate working with file uploads by wrapping incoming requests
Each strategy interface above has an important responsibility in the overall framework. The abstractions offered by these interfaces are powerful, so to allow for a set of variations in their implementations, Spring MVC ships with implementations of all these interfaces and together offers a feature set on top of the Servlet API. However, developers and vendors are free to write other implementations. Spring MVC uses the Java java.util.Map
interface as a data-oriented abstraction for the Model where keys are expected to be string values.
The ease of testing the implementations of these interfaces seems one important advantage of the high level of abstraction offered by Spring MVC. DispatcherServlet is tightly coupled to the Spring inversion of control container for configuring the web layers of applications. However, web applications can use other parts of the Spring Framework—including the container—and choose not to use Spring MVC.
Remote access framework[edit]
Spring's Remote Access framework is an abstraction for working with various RPC-based technologies available on the Java platform both for client connectivity and marshalling objects on servers. The most important feature offered by this framework is to ease configuration and usage of these technologies as much as possible by combining inversion of control and AOP.
The framework also provides fault-recovery (automatic reconnection after connection failure) and some optimizations for client-side use of EJB remote stateless session beans[clarify].
Spring provides support for these protocols and products out of the box:
- HTTP-based protocols
- Hessian: binary serialization protocol, open-sourced and maintained by CORBA-based protocols
- RMI (1): method invocations using RMI infrastructure yet specific to Spring
- RMI (2): method invocations using RMI interfaces complying with regular RMI usage
- RMI-IIOP (CORBA): method invocations using RMI-IIOP/CORBA
- Enterprise JavaBean client integration
- Local EJB stateless session bean connectivity: connecting to local stateless session beans
- Remote EJB stateless session bean connectivity: connecting to remote stateless session beans
- Integration with the Apache Axis web services framework
Apache CXF provides integration with the Spring Framework for RPC-style exporting of object on the server side.
Both client and server setup for all RPC-style protocols and products supported by the Spring Remote access framework (except for the Apache Axis support) is configured in the Spring Core container.
There is alternative open-source implementation (Cluster4Spring) of a remoting subsystem included into Spring Framework which is intended to support various schemes of remoting (1-1, 1-many, dynamic services discovering).....
Convention-over-configuration rapid application development[edit]
Spring Roo is Spring's convention-over-configuration solution for rapidly building applications in Java. It currently supports Spring Framework, Spring Security and Spring Web Flow, with remaining Spring projects scheduled to be added in due course. Roo differs from other rapid application development frameworks by focusing on:
- Java platform productivity (as opposed to other languages)
- Usability (particularly via the shell features and usage patterns)
- Runtime avoidance (with associated deployment advantages)
- Lock-in avoidance (Roo can be removed within a few minutes from any application)
- Extensibility (via add-ons)
Batch framework[edit]
Spring Batch is a framework for batch processing that provides reusable functions that are essential in processing large volumes of records, including:
- logging/tracing
- transaction management
- job processing statistics
- job restart
- skip
- resource management
It also provides more advanced technical services and features that will enable extremely high-volume and high performance batch jobs through optimizations and partitioning techniques.
Integration framework[edit]
Spring Integration is a framework for Enterprise application integration that provides reusable functions that are essential in messaging, or event-driven architectures.
- routers
- transformers
- adapters to integrate with other technologies and systems (HTTP, AMQP, JMS, XMPP, SMTP, IMAP, FTP (as well as FTPS/SFTP), file systems, etc.)
- filters
- service activators
- management and auditing
Spring Integration supports pipe-and-filter based architectures.
This section requires expansion. (January 2013) |
Spring framework lacks certain features which more modern frameworks take for granted[citation needed]. One point of criticism is the syntax needed for Generics, although that is expected to improve with Spring Framework 4.0, which will include full support for the Groovy programming language.
Spring can also be accused of lacking a cohesive philosophy, and instead being an ad hoc collation of sometimes inconsistent current best practices solutions to disparate problem domains.

Teller Reveals His Secrets
The smaller, quieter half of the magician duo Penn & Teller writes about how magicians manipulate the human mind
- By Teller
- Smithsonian magazine, March 2012, Subscribe
(Page 3 of 3)
Now I wiggle the card to my shoe (No. 3—If you're laughing...). When I lift whichever foot has your card, or invite you to take my wallet from my back pocket, I turn away (No. 4—Outside the frame) and swap the deck for a normal one from which I'd removed all three possible selections (No. 5—Combine two tricks). Then I set the deck down to tempt you to examine it later and notice your card missing (No. 6—The lie you tell yourself).
Magic is an art, as capable of beauty as music, painting or poetry. But the core of every trick is a cold, cognitive experiment in perception: Does the trick fool the audience? A magician's data sample spans centuries, and his experiments have been replicated often enough to constitute near-certainty. Neuroscientists—well intentioned as they are—are gathering soil samples from the foot of a mountain that magicians have mapped and mined for centuries. MRI machines are awesome, but if you want to learn the psychology of magic, you're better off with Cub Scouts and hard candy.

Posted by Toni gyamar on December 2,2012 | 02:37 AM
Thank you Teller for this insight. I have just finished reading 'Mischief', by Harling and Nyrup who in a much more wordy book, cover the same premise. I am an enthusiastic amateur and member of the Magic Circle.
Posted by philip cordrey on November 16,2012 | 09:06 PM
Teller, thank you. I have always been interested in psychology and the study of thought and perception from a cognitive emotional perspective. I had not put together the science of magic with psychological therapy before.

"Nothing but free publicity so they can constantly maintain their Name in public. The bait is this story. He keeps his and Penn's name in the public eye. That's all this is." @Max, because when you want publicity, we all know that you go directly to the Smithsonian Magazine, the very personification of PR hype with an extremely wide readership. Very cagy of Teller to tap into the public consciousness like this.
Posted by Colin Rutheford on April 1,2012 | 11:55 AM
I can tell you with certainty, Its al B.S. He's a showman, it's his shtick, It's always been their shtick,…. Pretending to tell you how it's done. Nothing but free publicity so they can constantly maintain their Name in public. Houdini, Madonna, they are all to familiar with how to keep their name in public and Alive. THAT is the underlining trick. Keeping your persona alive. Controversy, exposure, sensationalism. That's the real secret. The bait is this story. He keeps his and Penns name in the public eye. That's all this Is.
Posted by Max on March 28,2012 | 10:22 AM
As I understand it, and this may have slackened in recent years, but magicians are duty-bound among their not so secret society never to reveal their secrets. The best way to never reveal your secrets, is to make everyone believe you already have.
I'm not convinced Teller has given us any of his real secrets. He's described essentially what's already out there in the public consciousness. What magicians learned long ago and have passed down for generations. These are the lessons an aspiring magician picks up along the way in the early years of honing his craft. Not that you can now go be a magician. Any musician will tell you music theory is nothing like picking up a guitar and playing till long after your fingers bleed and you build up callouses.
The descriptions in this article that appear to be of tricks Teller and Penn currently do are either ones done in a different manner from how he explained them, or they are retiring them, or those particular examples are still used because audiences favor them, but have been discerned by audience members already and he feels safe in 'revealing secrets' that are already relatively well-known outside the illusionist 'secret society.'
So one can assume a scientist has 'tricked' Teller into revealing his secrets, but that is not evident. This could simply be yet another illusion. Would Teller admit to that one way or the other? Of course not. Why? That would be telling.
Posted by ZachsMind on March 24,2012 | 10:39 PM
First of all, "magic" is about manipulating and altering people's perceptions. "Science" is about uncovering the darkness of manipulated or altered people's mind. Teller just encountered a master magician clothed as a scientist who convinced Teller into "helping" the "sciences" in exposing his tricks!
Posted by tt on March 23,2012 | 02:23 PM
Fascinating!!! Any great performer will hook onto the concious minds of the audience so as to play with their perceptions for a little while! Thanks Teller! Hope to see you in Sin city sometime!
Posted by Daniel Roberts on March 21,2012 | 09:29 AM
Teller's is one of my favorite magicians, he is so clever and so skillful, as a magician I learn all the time but this article has articulated many things i wanted to say ...and could not express myslef
Well done
Posted by magicmatan on March 14,2012 | 07:20 PM
The "magic" Teller reveals is used everyday by professional salespeople worldwide. Whether the product is diamonds or real estate, the prospect is manipulated into making the sought-after buying "decision".
Posted by Steve on March 6,2012 | 01:21 AM
magic is about domination, plain and simple. Someone who wants to completely alter the way you see and interpret reality is a dominator. In magic there is also deduction. We allow ourselves to be seduced so that we can be dominated. Evil genius.
Posted by florence rouzier on March 5,2012 | 05:50 PM
Hmmm I think this is applicable to modern politics as well- "let them think they have a choice..."
Posted by Mari on March 4,2012 | 09:49 PM
"Choice is not freedom," as every mother of a recalcitrant toddler or child knows. "Do you want your blue shoes or your red shoes" is a good way to get a predetermined outcome of shoes on the kid's feet that day, without it becoming a power struggle. It's probably one of the first tricks of misdirection a mother learns, and a child experiences.
Posted by Sarahw on March 4,2012 | 08:46 PM
My rule of magic: If there's an assistant, *they* do the trick, and the magician just provides misdirection.

@Darren Nicholls In fact Penn & Teller recently had a British TV show "Penn & Teller: Fool Us" when then invited each week a number of UK magicians to attempt to precisely do that. The prize to be invited to perform with them in Vegas - and there were some weeks that they apparently were fooled (or at least claimed to be - perhaps they had just seen an act which they wanted to invite to Vegas, so were happy to be perceived as fallible (No. 6—The lie you tell yourself)?)
Posted by Simon Potts on February 29,2012 | 08:52 AM
To Mr. Nichols above, you pose two very thought provoking questions and I do hope that Teller reads these comments. I know they have a television program in the UK called "Penn & Teller: Fool Us" where other magicians attempt to stump P&T. The winner gets a trip to their show in Vegas. I grew up with a performing magician for a father and am also keenly interested in what Teller's answer would be to the "long standing tricks" question. Being a television engineer myself, I cannot watch TV without my mind going to the critical. I would think the same of magicians - to see someone else perform a trick would immediately cause me to try and deduce the answer. Great article. Thanks to all.
Posted by Michael Owens on February 29,2012 | 07:24 AM
I saw P&T in Vegas a few years back and loved the show. I was even more stunned at how approachable they were after the show.
As I recall I stammered out how much I appreciated Teller's articles and work in the skeptical community. I was probably incoherent and starstruck.
So let me say it now clearly: Mr Teller, I appreciate your articles and work in the skeptical community. This article is a great addition to it.
Posted by Marc on February 28,2012 | 10:05 AM
Teller, I am good friends with a magician. Yes, he has played tricks on me, and even though I could find out how he, and you, do it, I am not interested. Because what you magicians do is true illusion and misdirection. And I enjoy that.
One man's magic is another man's science.

Teller is amazing. His presentation is flawless and entertaining.
Posted by Nick Franke on February 27,2012 | 02:02 PM
I've been a fan of P & T since "P&T Go Public", and have never been disappointed. My brother-in-law and I still snicker over the "Is THIS your card?" video trick they taught back in the 80's. I've seen them multiple times, and got to be on stage for one trick about 15 years ago (no, I didn't catch the 'swap' they used). Thanks, Teller, for another peek behind the curtain!
Posted by David Arnold on February 27,2012 | 12:02 PM
Very nice work. As is all your work on stage.
And you were a good fit to your character in LONG GONE, way back a long time ago.
Posted by Sam on February 27,2012 | 11:40 AM
Wow, this stuff totally applies to marketing! Except with magic, people expect to be tricked. With marketing, they expect to be...um, told the truth?
Yeah, that's it. No, seriously, these secrets can definitely be applied to marketing ethically.

The most important take-away: "No 7 - Choice is not freedom." Great article. Brilliant man.

Excellent article and thank you for your insight.
Posted by Joe Cass on February 27,2012 | 10:12 AM
Jon Hughes, you're clearly not a magician.
The purpose for having three cards is that you can riffle through the deck and make the spectator see the illusion of a complete deck. He sees different cards and automatically assumes that the deck is fair and complete. If there was only one card replicated through it (which you could get by buying a fixed deck (yes; they sell those for magicians, you don't need to buy 52 decks)), you couldn't be able to show the deck to the spectator, let alone let him examine it afterwards (which constitutes a mayor part in the trick).
Posted by Sebastian on February 27,2012 | 09:43 AM
Teller you are a Legend :-) I cant wait to see you in Vegas one day.

Excellent article, very well written. Especially appreciate the bonus magic trick at the end. I'm not sure if Mr. Teller would read these comments but I'd be interested to know, does he often see tricks by other magicians that stump him? And if so does he immediately try to figure out how it's done and replicate it? Are there any long standing tricks that he has no idea how they're done?
Posted by Darren Nicholls on February 26,2012 | 01:19 AM
Penn & Teller make both magic and show business in general so much better for their contributions. And they've busted their butts for years to get where they are. Well done, guys.
Posted by Dave Mallow on February 26,2012 | 12:44 AM
Strange, he spoke, yet I did not hear a thing.

Giving choices provides a feeling of freedom. Teachers of very young children use this all the time. Would you like to ___ or to ___?
Generous of Teller to give us a glimpse . . . I've enjoyed his bullet and gun routine in Vegas. WAY too much trouble, fooled me.
Posted by Don Kronenberger on February 26,2012 | 10:53 PM
An intriguing article, but I can't say that I agree with the tone in Teller's introduction. Perhaps MRI's and other technology won't make him a better magician, but the SCIENCE of psychology and the study of human perception can only enhance our understanding of what he, and other magicians over the centuries, have learned to take advantage of only by trial and error, or by the passing down of tricks from professional to novice. Many practitioners know HOW to do something without actually knowing WHY it works; science and magic can work together to reveal the bigger picture, but not if people from one side denigrate the usefulness or contributions of the other.

Great piece Teller. I have always been a huge magic fan, even as a young child. What an interesting write-up of Tellers secrets. Who would ever think of the connection between neuroscience and magic? Very generous piece. Thanks for sharing.
Posted by Rick Noel on February 26,2012 | 02:04 PM
If you like this article, look up the BBC show, "Penn and Teller - Fool Us." It's great, filled with really neat magic and revelations (without losing the awe and reverence of the craft).

I love it!!!
Posted by Clarence Jamison on February 26,2012 | 11:01 AM
P.S. I know a lot of magicians and some of them definitely come on the other side of 'sexier than lab rats'!
Posted by Chris Lee on February 26,2012 | 09:35 AM
Absolutely brilliant observation. I have always believed that magic is not about tricks but about psychology and perception. Misdirection is a perfect example, as is comedy as misdirection; asking somebody to think of a card and knowing that the Ace of Spades or Queen of Hearts are likely. All this is to do with the mind rather than the trick and the spectator doesn't even know it. I love the way the brain works and I love the way that we can take advantage of this. I know some brilliant technicians with cards but I also realise that magic should be entertainment first and foremost and those that get invited back are those that made the audience laugh and have a good time. No question.
Posted by Chris Lee on February 26,2012 | 09:24 AM
even though magic is full of tricks,some aspect of it applies basic scientific principles such as perception and optical illusion. this is the part i like most- proper application makes every move seems so real.
Posted by kwabena on February 26,2012 | 03:34 AM
It'd be totally awesome if you wrote this article in preparation for a trick you'd do some weeks later hhahahah...
Great insights... we tend to place Science at an altar that only experience, passion and practice can 'afford'.

My friend Teller fails to inform his readers that the famous and well-informed magician David P. Abbott - who he says developed the principle of the Floating Ball which Teller so masterfully performs - was himself completely fooled back in 1922 by a "psychic" named Eugenie "Gene" Dennis, under Teller's Rule #6 - "the lie you tell yourself" - and the copy of the book which I have in my library describing this deception is inscribed by Teller himself with his proposed solution to the mystery: "Sex appeal?" Yes, even magicians can be tricked...!
Magicians such as Penn & Teller have declared themselves very firmly on the matter of "psychics" who lie to their victims to extract their money - often vulnerable, grieving or needy persons who seek solutions but receive only cruel promises of surcease. I'm proud to be in this battle with them. We conjurors are proud artists, and we resent the swindlers who use our technology to cheat rather than amuse and entertain.
So, curtain up, lights, applause, and delight...!

Please tell me how ACAAN is done. Please. I get the whole perception thing and the amount of time, skill and focus generations of musicians have put into their craft, but ACAAN just seems impossible. Did I say please? Please.
Posted by AThiker on February 25,2012 | 11:22 PM
My sweetheart took up with me in the early 1980s. I won an oyster-eating contest on Block Island in the mid-1980s. Teller spoke to me after his show in Times Square in the late 1980s.
It was a great decade.
Posted by Andre Friedmann on February 25,2012 | 09:11 PM
Yep that's how we do it. When Mr. Teller "talks", he drops some gems.
Posted by JSergott on February 25,2012 | 09:10 PM
I love how Teller slips in a jab at Democracy and the farce we all believe in that "voting" means we are free...or have a choice in our government.
Posted by David on February 25,2012 | 07:56 PM
Great article. I really like how he ties the manipulative techniques he exploits to shape audience choice perception with the two-party system and it's manipulation of a voter's sense of choice.
Posted by schulwitz on February 25,2012 | 06:48 PM
Really enjoyed the article. I rarely share articles - I read them for my own enjoyment most of the time - but this one is definitely worth sharing. Thanks.
Posted by Brian on February 25,2012 | 03:45 PM
Great "misdirection" Teller. You're saying that, sure magicians "talk" to scientists, but scientists don't have anything of value to add to magic. After all Magic is a simple art developed from hard work and subtle gestures. No, science is not necessary.
Will knowing this to make us a more informed and intelligent audience, so that we will never be fooled again... or set us up for the next deception?
Posted by Christoph on February 25,2012 | 03:02 PM
Excellent. I had the pleasure of meeting Jerry Andrus many times. He knew more about human perception (including visual perception) than any neuroscientist. His illusions, as well as his magic tricks, were incredible.
Posted by GeorgeS on February 25,2012 | 02:38 PM
So, what if your mark for the card trick lies and says a random card other than one of those you have hidden?
Posted by Jim in StL on February 25,2012 | 02:12 PM
I've seen your show in Las Vegas when I was there for TAM and while I enjoyed just about all of the tricks, the one I enjoyed the most was your walk-through on slight-of-hand and misdirection. I think the best lesson of that is that no matter how simple the act may seem at first blush, the careful practice, preparation, and presentation all take significant time and effort on behalf of the magician. That and, of course, that any of us can be fooled :-).
Posted by Jeff Edwards on February 25,2012 | 01:58 PM
What is the purpose for having three cards to choose from, as apposed to one? The most obvious reason is because it would only take 18 decks rather than 54 (incl. Jokers) -- I can understand a less successful magician wanting to cut down on cost, but even at $10 a pack (which is high), 54 decks is only $540, not exactly cost prohibitive.
Posted by Jon Hughes on February 25,2012 | 12:42 PM
A really magnificent article. Never disappointed when I hear Mr. Teller "speak".

Microsoft Office coming to iOS and Android in March 2013?
Seems the rumor reported about a native port of Microsoft Office to iPad is alive and kicking. On the eve of 2012, The Daily reported that it was present for a demo of a working version of Office for iPad but the rumor was somewhat shot down by Microsoft PR with a non-denial, saying that the leaked photos were not a real Microsoft software product. However, Microsoft didn't go as far as to deny that the iOS Office suite ever existed. Almost a full year later, IHNED has reported that Peter Bobek, a Microsoft Product Manager, has spilled the beans during a press event in Czech Republic.
Allegedly, Mr. Bobek has affirmed that Office for iOS and Android will be released around March 2013. There's also some noise about Office Web Apps, but nobody seems to care about those. So, if you're an Office user, but your preferred mobile platform is iOS or Android, don't get your hopes up just yet. If the past is any indicator, this latest rumor might not become a reality. Until then, iWork and Google Docs are not a bad alternative. Now, if you're the daring type, you may want to jump platforms altogether and go with the Microsoft Surface tablets and Windows Phone 8 to get your Office fix.

With a three-game road trip looming (Atlanta, Chicago and Philadelphia), Heat players returned to work Tuesday as an upbeat group, riding the emotional high of a seven-game winning streak and eager to embark on a 32-game-in-57-days post-All-Star break odyssey that will carry them into the playoffs.
After the All-Star break, its time to really start putting everything together, Chris Bosh said. The games are going to start getting more intense, and guys are really, really playing for something.
Concerns about the Heats uneven play on the road have dissipated somewhat after convincing recent wins in New Jersey and, particularly, Oklahoma City.
We have a heck of a March ahead of us, and this is the time of year everyone playing for something looks forward to, coach Erik Spoelstra said. You can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
Dwyane Wade cautions: Its going to be a tough second half including nine sets of back-to-back games. That doesnt concern LeBron James, who noted Tuesday: I get stronger on back-to-backs.
Sizing up where each of the key players stand heading out of the break:
• James: No player in history has ever produced the collective numbers that James is averaging this season: 27.3 points, 8.2 rebounds, 6.9 assists and shooting 56.5 percent from the field. And theres this: James had made 69 percent of his shots over the past seven games including 51 for 61 in the paint and 14 for 26 on threes.
Hes the most-versatile player of all time, Magic Johnson said. Kudos to him for improving his game.
• Wade: Spoelstra contends hes playing more efficiently than ever. His scoring average (21) is nearly four points below his career average, but hes shooting a career-high 50.5 percent, best among two guards. And he seemingly has regained his lift after offseason knee surgery.
• Bosh: The offensive numbers are impressive: His 55.5 shooting percentage is well above his first two seasons with the Heat (49.6 and 48.7). And in the final five minutes of close games (margin of five or less), Bosh has made 18 of 21 shots easily the best in the league. His 7.4 rebounding average would be a career low, but he enters Wednesday with three consecutive double-figure rebounding games for the first time all season.
• Mario Chalmers: His shooting percentage has dipped from 44.8 to 41.3, and he can exasperate with his uneven play. But this is encouraging: Given more responsibilities to set up the offense, Chalmers has 29 assists and just six turnovers in his past nine games, and his overall turnover average has dipped from last season (2.2 to 1.4). And has the Heats second-best plus/minus ratio (behind James), with Miami outscoring teams by 364 with Chalmers on the court.
• Udonis Haslem: Spoelstra said hes back from a leg injury and will start Wednesday. Despite starting 31 games, hes averaging just 19 minutes about 10 below his career average. His rebounding (13.6 per 48 minutes) is down only slightly from recent years, and the Heats best plus/minus lineup features Haslem with the Big 3 and Chalmers. But hes shooting just 32 percent on all attempts beyond two feet.
• Shane Battier: Beyond his steady defense, what has been particularly helpful has been the renaissance of his three-point game: hes 39.9 percent shooting, compared with 33.1 the past two seasons. He has been deadly on corner threes (46 percent), and Spoelstra said the Heats ball movement is at its best when Battier is getting those shots.

Something very touching and beautiful about this video. Just a friendly reminder that no one is perfect.
Oh you will never hear me on the air, that would take me away from my computer and coding. They keep a tight leash around us tech guys, it's too dangerous to let us out in the wild with real people.
I am Stefan, I am the guy behind the scenes that makes sure these sites are showing you the correct information, sending you to the correct pages and contest. I'm a giant ninja, stealthily coding and fixing things. I'm also an avid video game and technology geek and never afraid to let my geek flag fly. I have an extensive knowledge of video games and nerdly things. I have a wonderful wife who understands my obsession with gaming and encourages it. Don't be afraid to ask me about video games, technology, or even horrible life advice. I'll be happy to give all 3!
Something very touching and beautiful about this video. Just a friendly reminder that no one is perfect.
Industrial shredders are amazing, I could watch these videos all day. But to watch these computers and accessories meet their demise. Brought some sort of sick joy to me.
The hammer of justice is dropped in under 30 seconds... with help from the stupid.
Now, some people have appliances that are a little faulty. I had an issue with my toaster a long time ago. It would not toast the bottom or top of the bread, just the middle. It would also not go all the way down when I put toast into it.
I look back and think, man that toaster stunk.
Then I saw this one, and I appreciate the untoasted toast a bit more, because it isn't floor toast.
But what I see is Jean Claude Van Damme being a pretty crazy guy doing crazy stuff between two Volvo Trucks.
All of this to prove a point, that the trucks are pretty easy and stable to drive backward.
What did you think he was doing? Solving mysteries? Holding secret cat meetings? No, not at all. This is what a cat does, when it finds a comfy warm spot on a bed with the sun beating down on it, for 3 hours straight.
Luckily the fireman was ok in the video, but in Rijeka, Croatia they are having some crazy winds today.
Of course, me being me, instantly thought of Disney's Aladdin.Time for a magic carpet ride!
Fitting, almost 5 years to the date, DICE and EA released Mirror's Edge. This game was understated and such a sleeper hit that it's cult following is eagerly waiting for the sequal that is supposed to be on the next generation of video game console.
To get a feel about what the game was about here is a short trailer.
Now, here is what someone went and did on their own, with a gopro camera and the skillset that many of us wish we had but wouldn't know where to start to posses.
Before you come find me with pitchforks and claim blasphemy, hear me out. This deleted scene has popped up, and now has replaced what happened to Jar Jar Binks in the movie. You know, the worst character ever to be in a Star Wars movie ever?
Here it is in all of it's glory. Say goodbye to the character that single handledly set the tone of failure for episodes I, II and III.

Posted by PracticalReviews on Oct 26, 2013
Purchased at iHerb
i like companies that dedicates their business to specialize in specific products and try to keep the level higher as it can.Nutiva does exactly that in their Coconut & Hemp based products,this new product is vacuum packed to preserve freshness and has a great value for money.with my previous experience with Hemp protein powder(see my other reviews)i encountered a black heavy powder residue left inside the jar after drinking & i always wondered if its part of the Hemp outer structure,is it grinded stone or dirt?should i drink it or not? thats all solved with Nutiva's Hemp powder because none of this residue even exists!,its all pure protein and tasty as well.my body don't like Whey and i think that from all the Vegan Protein powders out there the Hemp is the most edible one,taste wise and from nutrient perspective as it has high amount of Magnesium,Iron and Zinc as well as the important Omega's 3/6/9.i also think its the least processed one comparing to Soy,Rice,Whey or Pea protein,here's a quick healthy & tasty recipe i enjoy from this product,a complete energizing meal in 2 minutes!: take 2 TSP of cocoa powder and 1 heaping TSP of Maca Root powder,add 1 TBSP of molaesses and 2 TBSP of the Hemp protein.shake or blend well and add 1 TBSP of grinded poppy seeds with 1 TBSP of chia or grinded flaxseed plus 1 TBSP of coconut macaroon and 2 TBSP of grinded nuts,almonds or both with a pinch of salt on top-Thats it! lots of Real nutrition in one jar.you can also add Cinnamon,Ginger or Nutmeg to taste...you are welcome to rate & read my other reviews

The Hanover Borough Police Department is searching for a man between 5-foot-10 and 6-foot tall, weighing about 200 pounds, in connection a robbery about 2:20 p.m. Monday at the PNC Bank branch on Carlisle Street.
A press release from police described the robber as a black male with a light complexion and a medium build with a beard, mustache, and ponytail. He wore a dark green baseball cap, a light green T-shirt with the words "Relay for Life" on the front and torn bluejeans at the time of the incident, according to police.
Police said the robber displayed a note to a teller but did not display any weapons. The teller gave him an undetermined amount of money.
The robber's route after he left the bank was unknown Monday afternoon, according to police.
Bank customer Truman Lake was in the bank at the time of the robbery. The 82-year-old McSherrystown man was standing a few windows down from the robber but said he had no idea what was happening.
Unlike the movies, he said, there was no panic or any indication that a robbery was taking place.
Overall, Lake said, he thought the bank handled the situation very well, saying the teller who dealt with the robber was "awesome."
"They kept their cool," he said. "It was handled the way it should have been."

We came there for spa, didn't not stay in the room. But it was very disappointed. The service is rude to none. Hot-tubs are not hot. Cold pool is not cool as well. There's no indication about the temperature of the water at all. In addition, the first thing we saw was not so pleasant. A couple was enjoying their... More

Billy Hamilton stole four bases in the Pensacola Blue Wahoos' 4-2 loss to the Montgomery Biscuits last night, giving him 147 steals in 2012 and setting a new professional baseball single-season record.
Hamilton, 21, the Cincinnati Reds' affiliate's shortstop, passed Vince Coleman's previous mark of 145 stolen bases 20 years to the day after Coleman and Donnell Nixon eclipsed Rickey Henderson's record of 130 thefts in a season.
With two outs in the bottom of the third inning of the first game of a doubleheader at Pensacola's Bayfront Stadium, Hamilton lined a single into right field to reach for the second time in the contest. Hamilton then took off for second and swiped the base just under a strong and accurate throw from Montgomery catcher Mark Thomas. Three pitches later, the Mississippi native ran on an 0-2 pitch and dove head-first into third base ahead of Thomas' throw to claim the record.
Both the record-tying and -breaking bases that Hamilton stole were immediately taken off the field by Blue Wahoos personnel, in addition to Hamilton's helmet. Earlier in the game, he began Pensacola's first inning with a walk, before taking second on an error and notching his 144th steal by swiping third. He also added another theft in the eighth frame to extend his mark to 147.
The historic moment came in the speedster's 120th game of the season and his 38th contest with Pensacola. Before being promoted to Pensacola on July 11, Hamilton stole 104 bases in 82 games with High-A Bakersfield. Hamilton through his 38 games with the Blue Wahoos has tallied 42 thefts.
