If you have not looked into Spring yet, it is time. Here is why you should!
Grady Booch once said that the great thing about objects is that they can be replaced. The great thing about Spring is it helps you replace them. With Spring, you simply inject collaborating objects called dependencies using JavaBeans properties and configuration files. Then it's easy enough to switch out collaborating objects when you need to. Spring allows you to dynamically add services to objects called aspects. This is similar to the Decorator Design pattern, but does not require you to recompile your code base to apply these services. This allows you to replace objects with objects that enhance the originals.
The ability to inject collaborating objects is often called IoC (inversion of control). Thus, Spring is an IoC container. If you follow the latest developer buzz then you've likely heard of IoC (Inversion of Control) containers and AOP (aspect-oriented programming). Like many developers, however, you may not see where these technologies fit into your development efforts. As the word inversion implies, IoC is like JNDI turned inside out. Instead of using a tangle of abstract factories, service locators, singletons, and straight construction, each object is constructed with its collaborating objects. Thus, the container manages the collaborators. (Collaborators are objects that an object needs to fullfill its role.)
The ability to dynamically add services to objects is called AOP. AOP allows developers to create non-domain concerns, called crosscutting concerns, and insert them in their application code. With AOP, common services like logging, persistence, transactions, and the like can be factored into aspects and applied to domain objects without complicating the object model of the domain objects.
Thus, Spring is an IoC/AOP container. There are many IoC containers. There are also many AOP frameworks. If Spring was only an IoC/AOP container, it would be worth your attention and interest since it seems to be the most mature. Spring is a lot more than an IoC/AOP container.
What makes Spring different than the other frameworks and containers, is Spring goes beyond just being an IoC container or an AOP framework. The other containers are academic interests, and some are quite good. They provide good support of IoC and AOP.
Spring goes one step further by eating its own dog food. It uses IoC and AOP to provide a comprehensive library for simplifying J2EE development. This comprehensive library is written with aspects, dependency injection and OOP best practices.
Spring makes J2EE development easier. It does this with a variety of mechanisms. One common mechanism is its use of templates. A template is a cross between a utility class and execution environment. Spring Templates are an embellishment and extention of the Template design pattern (GOF).
At first glance templates appear to be well written utility classes. However, templates provide a lot more than just utility functions. Templates provide and execution environment. When using a template you first endeavor to use one of its it utility method. If the template doesn't have a utility method you need, you implement a callback object. The callback object has a method that executes a method in the environment of the template. The template therefore takes care of things like exception handling and resource management in a consistent manner. This means your code base will not be littered with try/catch/finally blocks, and it is easier to ensure that resources and exception are handled correctly.
Spring promotes good programming practices. It does this by providing great examples how to use IoC and AOP in a consistent manner. It also does this by showing how to build things like templates to manage resources and exceptions in the consistent manner. It goes even further by building sets of frameworks on top of IoC, AOP and templates that are the embodiment of good OO programming.
The IoC capabilities allowing injection of dependent objects turns out to be a great mechanism for testing your code. It is easy now to inject mock objects (object for testing), and test your classes in an isolated manner. For example, you can test you business delegates without relying on the DAO (Data access objects) objects talking to the database. Essentially Spring took back development from the design pattern hacks deemed necessary to program J2EE. As Rod Johnson once put it: Spring puts the OO back in J2EE development.
Spring provides portability through abstraction of common services. For example, Spring provides a common interface object relational management (ORM) systems like Hibernate, JDO, Cayenne, Spring JDBC and iBatis. It provides a mechanism for building DAO objects that divorces the client code from the underlying implementation. it does this by providing a common set of exceptions like object not found exception, and making these exception runtime exceptions.
Spring provides a easy on-ramp for many industry-standard projects. And not just industry-standard projects but the de facto industry-standard projects. The projects that people actually use to get their daily work done. For example, Spring provides support for JDO, Hibernate, Quartz, Tapestry, JavaServer faces, and many more frameworks. Its been said that Spring simplifies J2EE development, and that is a primary focus of Spring. However,Spring provides utilities to work with all tiers of an n-tier application. For an MVC application, there are utilities for working with View technologies (Struts, Spring, Rich Client etc.), Model (EJB, AOP based transaction, AOP based security, etc.), etc. You can use Spring to build Swing and SWT applications.
If you have not looked into Spring yet, it is time.
The above started as a reply to Cameron Purdy's prediction list, which I really liked. Then I got carried away and it became a full blown plug for Spring. (Darn Caffiene!)
What is Spring?
Spring is a popular AOP/IoC framework that was developed by Rod Johnson, Juergen Hoeller et al. Spring simplifies J2EE and Java development. Rod Johnson is the famed author who wrote Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development.
Spring makes J2EE development easier. Spring is a J2EE framework that simplifies commons tasks and encourages good design based on programming to interfaces. Springs makes your application easier to configure and reduces the need for many J2EE design patterns (quite a few J2EE design patterns are really glorified hacks that clutter your code base). Spring puts the OO design back into your J2EE application.

The article (like the last one I wrote) started out as being a blog entry (http://jroller.com/page/RickHigh/20050107#spring_plug).
It is nice when the JDJ picks it up and gives it more exposure. The last blog entry turned article I wrote was read quite a bit according to the JDJ folks.
I've written some follow up ideas at:
|Rick Hightower 01/08/05 05:53:57 PM EST
I've used Spring on a half dozen different projects now (most if not all of them in production).
The first time I used Spring I was amazed how much it helped to simplify the code base.
Once you get rid of all of the service locators, and dynamic creation of implementations, and singletons, etc. then the code base gets a bit smaller.
Also using the Spring templates really helps to keep things simple and yet manage resources well.
I much prefer using Hibernate with Spring then without it. It really simplifies things.
|Agreed 01/08/05 05:20:08 AM EST
Spring manages your mappings and helps maintain consistency across your data connections and helps you abstract your business logic, keeping it out of the actual pages. Best of all it also integrates with Struts.
|Spring has sprung 01/08/05 05:04:16 AM EST
Wasn't it Purdy who said it's imposible to resist saying the word Spring. ("Yup, it's like trying not to think of pink elephants - impossible once you get that in your head. Spring, spring, spring, spring. La tee dah, spring spring spring.")
What's in a name?

Explore our wills on Shakespeare's birthday
William Shakespeare, whose birthday is traditionally celebrated on 23 April (the same date as his death), famously bequeathed his 'second-best bed' to his wife Anne Hathaway in his will, dated just a few weeks before he died in 1616. Digitised copies of Shakespeare's will, along with a selection of other famous wills, can be searched and downloaded online.
Over one million wills online
We've also digitised over one million wills from the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, dated between 1384 and 1858 - these are registered copies of the original probates written into volumes by clerks at the church courts.
The information found in wills usually includes details of where the person who died (testator) lived, the name of the person responsible for carrying out the wishes (executor), the date of the will, details of any witnesses to the will and the chief beneficiaries.
Royal Naval Seamen's wills
You can also search the wills of around 20,000 men who joined the Royal Navy between 1786 and 1882.
The records in this online collection are original wills of Warrant officers and seamen. Most of them are written on printed forms. These forms were accepted as valid by the Admiralty and they were deposited in the Navy Office, with orders to issue cheques to the executors.

We made it to the campground right about dusk last night, which allowed us just enough time to get "camp" set up before night fall!!! We had a fun evening!! This morning I got up and went for a 3.04 run/walk...which felt great! Next, we loaded up and made the hour trip to Perryville to watch Bennett Wayne, our 4 year old grandson play soccer... He was so surprised and even more excited when he found out he was going to get to go camping with us and his 5 year old cousin Layton!!! We've played in the river... brrrrrr.... to me... but they LOVED it... once it started raining too hard we returned to the camper where they've had snacks and are now playing Army under the awning while we "chill" and watch!!! Life is good!!! I am blessed!!!
Today we had a blood drive at school, when they first checked my iron it was 10.9, (I tried to give about three weeks ago and my iron was barely too low at 12.3 and I've really been working on getting more iron in.) I was told to rub my other hand on up and down the side of my jeans repeatedly and did so for 3-4 minutes... guess what my iron rose to 13.9!!! I was so happy, as being able to donate blood is one of those things that I take very seriously!!! So just for today I am hero!
Have a great week-end!

YAC to organise 200 Janajagaran yatras against corruption and black money throughout India
The college students under the aegis of Youth Against Corruption (YAC) launched a 72-hour 'maha dharna', a massive demonstration, here on Wednesday.
At Rammohan Roy Library in the city, the YAC launched the demonstration as part of nation-wide three-day protest demanding a strong anti-corruption law like Jan Lokpal. Students and youth from various districts like Nellore, Prakasam, Visakhapatnam and Krishna districts participated in the dharna. About 100 students from Nalanda Degree College, Satavahana, and Sarada Colleges took part in the protest. Poura Samaja Vedika, Indian Medical Association, Bar Association, Swabhiman Trust and others expressed their solidarity.
Earlier, they took out a rally from the dharna camp to Vivekananda statue near Ragahvaiah Park raising slogans –Vande Mataram—fight against corruption.
The YAC leaders said that they were organising 200 Janajagaran yatras against the corruption and black money throughout India. Through this yatra, the YAC proposes to reach 15 lakh to 20 lakh youth and try to persuade them to join hands in fighting against the corruption, they said. The YAC was in favour of an effective Lokpal Bill. But, it would be wrong to expect transparency, honesty from a completely corrupt UPA Government, they opined.
"For instance, the UPA Government instead of taking measures to root out corruption was shielding ministers like P. Chdimbaram who was equally guilty in the 2G scam.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh should resign his post for remaining mute spectator to corruption", they said.
The YAC East Andhra Pradesh convener Ganta Venkat and others were present.

Narrowminded + BOM Propose New Central Bus Station for Marrakech
As part of an international competition, Narrowminded Architects teamed up with BOM Architects to identify and solve central functional deficiencies in a proposal for a new Marrakech Central Bus Terminal. Together, the architects found that obsolete infrastructure, unclear orientation, hazardous traffic density, rampant pollution, and confusing overlaps between vehicular and pedestrian flow were all contributing factors in the inefficiencies and hindered advancement of the terminal. Thus, with the intent to create a timeless environment that could flourish in Marrakech's future morphological developments, the proposal adopted a strategy to thoroughly address each individual issue.

Spotlight: Peter Smithson
Peter Smithson (18 September 1923 – 3 March 2003), the acclaimed British architect often associated with New Brutalism, would have turned 91 today. He attended the school of architecture in Newcastle, but left to serve in the war in India and Burma. After returning to complete his degree in 1948, he enrolled in the Royal Academy architecture school. In 1950 he set up his own practice with his wife Alison, and the two went on to become some of the most influential British architects of the mid-20th century.
Are Property Developers "Ruining Our Cities"?
Alongside a number of recent articles that explore the rise of the urban property developer and the subsequent "threat" to the built environment, Oliver Wainwright of The Guardian explores at length how developers are "exploiting planning authorities and ruining our cities." In discussion with Peter Rees, former Chief Planning Officer for the City of London and responsible for the financial district's monuments of today, Wainwright discusses the lack of accountability of the vast majority of urban developers. While local councils attempt to secure the next iconic development for their area many planners, authorities and developers are locked in a battle over the built fabric of our cities. Read the article in full here.
Trading Parking Lots for Affordable Housing
The cost of living in New York has skyrocketed over the years, causing one of Mayor Bill de Blasio's biggest challenges to be the integration of affordable housing. Considering this, architecture critic Michael Kimmelman has spotlighted a plan that suggests trading parking lots for micro housing units. Envisioned by three young architects at the Institute for Public Architecture, the "9×18" scheme has the potential to transform the city by capitalizing on outdated zoning regulations that would unleash more than 20.3 million square feet of usable space. Read more here on the New York Times.
UK Politicians Invited to Workshop to Learn About Architecture
Oliver Colvile, chairman of the UK's All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Excellence in the Built Environment, has proposed that UK Members of Parliament should be invited to an architecture workshop to improve their understanding of the built environment. The workshop would be jointly run by the APPG and the Farrell Review, and could include activities such as designing a virtual town or an architectural sightseeing tour along the Thames. More on the proposal after the break.
High-Speed "Skyway" Aims to Shorten Commutes from Brooklyn to Manhattan
New York real estate executive Daniel Levy of CityRealty has unveiled a proposal to connect Brooklyn's waterfront to Manhattan with a $75 million "East River Skyway." According to Levy, the high-speed gondola could shorten commutes to just four minutes and move more than 5,000 people per hour, while relieving congestion on ferries, subways and bridges. "[The Skyway] would be a relatively inexpensive and quickly deployable solution," said Levy. "It is essential to adapt New York City's transportation system to serve residents in these booming areas." Levy will present the project in an effort to harness support at the Brooklyn real estate summit on Tuesday.

BIO 50: Ljubljana Marks 50 Years of Design Biennales with "3, 2, 1… TEST"
From the organizers: On Thursday, 18 September 2014, more than 120 designers and multidisciplinary agents descend upon Ljubljana for the opening week of BIO 50, the Biennial of Design. Over the course of four days, they will unveil the results of a six-month long collaborative process, offering perspectives on possible futures for design. The awards for best collaboration will be presented by the BIO 50 jury comprising industrial designer Konstantin Grcic, design critic Alice Rawsthorn and designer and professor Saša J. Mächtig. Before the opening, the talk with Alice Rawsthorn, Justin McGuirk and Jan Boelen will be organized.
Brought together by the experimental framework that shaped BIO 50, eleven groups tackled the themes of Affordable Living, Knowing Food, Public Water Public Space, Walking the City, Hidden Crafts, The Fashion System, Hacking Households, Nanotourism, Engine Blocks, Observing Space and Designing Life, creating specific projects to be implemented during the Biennial and beyond.
Following a period of intense research, where collaboration and learning were fundamental values, the outcomes are widely diverse, ranging from a series of household appliances developed under the same principles that shape open-source software to a garden pavilion developed with the local residents to encourage new discussions about food. Other outcomes include a performative experiment that challenges the way one experiences walking in the city, as well as a multipurpose engine that doubles as a survival tool in a dystopian vision of the future.
BIO 50 runs from September 18th until December 7th in Ljubljana. For more information on the event, click here.
Alumni Launch Petition to Save the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture's Accreditation
A group of alumni from the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture have launched a petition on change.org to incorporate the school "as an independent subsidiary as required by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) to ensure this irreplaceable treasure is perpetuated." The school is currently at risk of losing its accreditation due to a recently enacted HLC law that requires colleges and other institutions to be accredited separately from the organizations that sponsor them. The Frank Lloyd Wright School is currently funded as a part of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, which supports both of the school's campuses, and preserves collections of Wright's work.
"The School is a vibrant, rigorous, and fully accredited contemporary school of architectural design (offering an HLC- and NAAB-accredited M.Arch degree) that fills an irreplaceable niche as an alternative to conventional architectural education, a mandate set forth by Frank Lloyd Wright at its founding in 1932," states the petition, which currently has over 400 signatures. Among the signatures are Mecanoo's Francine Houben and Finnish architect Juhani Pallasmaa, who wrote: "Having stayed at Taliesin West for five months as a Scholar in Residence, I have deeply understood the great potential of the School."
Learn more and sign the petition on change.org.
Spotlight: Renzo Piano
"Architecture is art, but art vastly contaminated by many other things. Contaminated in the best sense of the word – fed, fertilised by many things." -Renzo Piano
Renzo Piano, the Pritzker-Prize Laureate born in Genoa, Italy, turns 77 today. While Piano was originally expected to follow the family tradition of building, Renzo rebelled to study architecture in Milan. Even so, to this day, Piano maintains a healthy skepticism of academia; indeed, craftsmanship and experimentation are both pillars at the Renzo Piano Building Workshop. Check out more Renzo Piano, including inspiring quotes and all his works on ArchDaily, after the break…
Spotlight: Tadao Ando
Tadao Ando (13 September 1941), the 1995 recipient of the Pritzker Prize, turns 73 today. Ando, a Japanese architect based out of Osaka, Japan, is highly regarded for his unparalleled work with concrete, sensitive treatment of natural light, and strong engagement with nature.

Zaha Hadid Says She "Would Love To Do a Tower in London"
Despite her position as one of the world's most prominent and successful architects, Zaha Hadid yesterday revealed that there is one thing she feels is missing from her portfolio: a skyscraper in London. Speaking to BD at the announcement of her Science Museum competition win, Hadid said "I'd love to do a tower in London but it hasn't arrived." More of Hadid's comments after the break.
Artists Seek Alternatives to Proposed Guggenheim Helsinki
As the first phase of the Guggenheim Helsinki design competition concludes, a group of independent arts organizations have launched a search for "alternative" proposals: The Next Helsinki. The counter-competition calls on architects, urbanists, landscape architects, artists, and "all others who love cities to suggest ways in which Helsinki and its South Harbor can be transformed for the maximum benefit of the city." More information, after the break.

2011 was a pretty slow year for me anime-wise. I played a lot more video games and read a lot more manga in 2011 and so the anime kind've fell by the wayside. I also spent a lot of time re-watching long series such as Prince of Tennis and Bleach. My goal for 2012 is just to watch a little more anime.

We just have to share this. Replayhouse regular, Peter Madden has created a stunning portrait of the Kerry landscape. Ron Fricke would be proud of this reel, with its beautiful compositions, framing and smooth camera movement. Showreels like this take serious patience, a keen eye, and a passions for the task at hand. I think its safe to say Peter has all the above. Of course Kerry isnt exactly a stain on the eye, but this captures it brilliantly.
Nice work Peter, now do one of Dublin.

Customer Reviews for LaVida Massage - Naperville, IL (1)
October 31, 2011
Excellent Spa
La Vida is a relatively new spa in Naperville but already has quite a following. I have been getting massages there 1-2 times a month for the last six months. Although I have my favorite massage therapist, I have had several massages by other therapists and have found all of them to be quite good and very professional. What most impresses me about the spa is that each therapist listens to my requests and follows through with the appropriate massage. This has been a most appreciated. In talking with the therapists, I have also become aware that all of them continue to take classes and re bringing new methods to the salon. I would highly recommend this spa to anyone wanting an excellent massage.

The Worst Perpetrators of Modern Slavery
I'll preface this blog by saying that I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that the Global Slavery Index 2014 was released recently and reports that there are close to 36 million modern day slaves in the world, roughly 0.5% of the world's total population. Startlingly, these numbers are a significant increase to previous estimates, due to what the report calls "improved accuracy and precision of measures," and that they are "uncovering modern slavery where it was not seen before." The good news, though, is that information is always the first step towards taking positive action.
The report also listed which countries had the highest percentage of slaves and which had the highest numbers total. Coming in at the coveted number 1 spot in slaves per capita was the West African nation of Mauritania, with 4% of its population in bondage. Mauritania has consistently struggled to eliminate the practice of modern-day slavery, and many experts agree that those in power likely don't want it abolished. Mauritania was the last country on the planet to abolish slavery formally in 1981 and only passed legislation laying out legal ramifications for traffickers in 2007, after giving in to international pressure.

Hartley cited for Best incident
ESPN Staff
December 10, 2012
Dylan Hartley awaits his fate © Getty Images
Hartley's disciplinary record
England hooker Dylan Hartley could face a lengthy ban after he was cited for striking Rory Best during Northampton's Heineken Cup defeat to Ulster on Friday.
Hartley has been reported to the European Rugby Cup by match commissioner Jean-Claude Legendre for striking the Ireland international with his arm during the Saints' 25-6 defeat at Franklin's Gardens.
The 26-year-old, who only recently returned to action after suffering an injury that sidelined him from England's autumn Test campaign, will face a disciplinary hearing, probably this week.
The International Rugby Board sanctions for striking with the fist or arm range between a two-week ban and a maximum suspension of a year. Hartley therefore faces an anxious wait to discover his fate as Northampton travel to Belfast next Saturday needing victory to keep their hopes of a quarter-final place alive.
"Hartley is alleged to have struck Ulster Rugby forward Rory Best with his arm during the second half of the match at Franklin's Gardens," ERC said in a statement.
"Details of the hearing date and the appointed independent judicial officer will be announced shortly."
Hartley was banned for 26 weeks in April 2007 after being found guilty of eye-gouging Wasps players James Haskell and Jonny O'Connor. And earlier this year, he received an eight-week ban after he was cited for biting Ireland flanker Stephen Ferris during a Six Nations clash at Twickenham.
If Hartley is suspended for the Best incident, he could miss forthcoming Aviva Premiership and Heineken Cup games for Northampton and it could also jeopardise his chances of reclaiming the England hooking berth that was impressively filled by Leicester's Tom Youngs during the autumn games.

Wordless Music Series Branches Out With Mono, Terry Riley Records
By Tom Breihan on March 24, 2010 at 1:30 p.m. EDT
New York's Wordless Music series stages heady events that cross the borders between indie rock, electronic music, and classical. On April 27, the Wordless folks will branch out into the record business. They're pairing with two different labels to release two different live albums; one of a performance of a piece by experimental titan Terry Riley and one from Japanese post-metal crew Mono.
News in Brief: Raincoats, Mugison, Susanna and the Magical Orchestra, Wordless Music Meets Miller Festival
By Tom Breihan on August 14, 2009 at 11:25 a.m. EDT
-- Postpunk originators the Raincoats probably served as direct inspiration for something like half the bands on Kill Rock Stars, so itmakes sense that KRS will reissue the band's self-titled first album, which includes their devastatingly badass cover of the Kinks' "Lola". That vinyl-only reissue is due on October 13. The band will play a few U.S. shows in October, including their first West Coast dates ever.
-- Icelandic laptop-pop weirdo Mugison really knows how to get his money's worth out of his Metrocard. On August 18, next Tuesday, Mugison will partner with Amnesty International to play a show in every one of New York City's five boroughs throughout the course of the day. He'll start out at noon at Staten Island's Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art, and he'll wind things up at 11 p.m. at the Williamsburg bar Pete's Candy Store. That's a lot of subway time, Mugison!
-- On September 1 in the U.S. (August 24 in Scandinavia), Rune Grammofon will release 3, the (shockingly enough) third album from the melancholy Norwegian pop duo Susanna and the Magical Orchestra. It includes a cover of Roy Harper's "Another Day". Members of Wildbirds & Peacedrums and Madrugada contribute.
-- The Wordless Music Meets Miller Festival unfortunately doesn't involve drinking cheap beer while tailgating before modern classical recitals, but it seems pretty cool nonetheless. The festival will take over Columbia University's Miller Theatre September 9-12. Destroyer, Nico Muhly, Tim Hecker, Do Make Say Think, Grouper, Sam Amidon, Doveman, Charles Spearin, and Julianna Barwick will all take part.
News in Brief: Gas, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Seeger, Peter Case
By Mark Richardson on March 18, 2009 at 3:15 p.m. EDT
-- I guess this is why people move to New York. The Wordless Music Series has put on events featuring the likes of Sigur Rós and Manuel Göttsching. On May 29, they'll host the first-ever U.S. performance by Wolfgang Voigt's Gas at the Miller Theatre at Columbia University. You may recall that all four Gas full-lengths were reissued last year as Nah Und Fern, and we dropped a deserved 9.2 on the set. Live, Voigt will mix his music with visuals derived from his photography for what's sure to be an immersive multimedia extravaganza. As if that weren't enough, on the same night Toronto's Contact Ensemble will perform a live rendering of Brian Eno's Discreet Music. Ambient heaven. Other Wordless Music Series events include sets from the Mountain Goats, John Vanderslice, the Books, (I know for a fact that they use words), and the U.S. debut of Jóhann Jóhannsson. Full line-up and schedule available at the Wordless Music Series site.
-- Pete Seeger, a folk music legend in his spare time, is turning 90. Who's playing his birthday party? A fellah named Bruce Springsteen, for one, and also John Mellencamp, Eddie Vedder, and more. It's going down on May 3 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Also, it benefits a cause, Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, founded by Seeger, which aims to preserve and protect the Hudson River. There's a fancy invite and more info at the Seeger 90 website. Be sure to check out Joshua Klein's interview with the man himself.
-- Speaking of causes, singer-songwriter Peter Case, one-time leader of the Plimsouls and the Nerves, had open-heart surgery in January and did not have medical insurance. Paste reports that an organization called Hidden Love has been established to help him out.

'An Entertainment Phenomenon.'Daily Telegraph
Daily Telegraph
War Horse is a powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, a show of phenomenal inventiveness. At its heart are astonishing life-sized puppets by South Africa's Handspring Puppet Company, who bring breathing, galloping, charging horses to thrilling life on stage.
At the dawn of the First World War, Joey, young Albert's beloved horse, is sold to the Cavalry and is shipped to France. Fate takes him on an incredible odyssey, serving on both sides, before finding himself alone in No Man's Land. But Albert cannot forget Joey, and he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home.
This internationally-acclaimed production takes audiences on an extraordinary journey from the fields of rural England to the trenches of the First World War. War Horse is an unforgettable theatrical event, unlike anything you have ever seen before.

Dear Parents,
I want to begin by thanking our parents for your continued support of Assumption Catholic School and for your encouraging words during my first few months as principal. This school has such a welcoming nature and I see a faith-filled community in our students, parents and staff members. It's one of the many reasons that I am happy to lead Assumption Catholic School to a new level of excellence. I want our parents to know that our staff members are working very hard to carry out the mission and vision for our school and that has me convinced that Assumption Catholic School's future will continue to be bright.
Beautiful fall weather is upon us. Our fall festival is behind us as are our parent-teacher conferences. Our basketball teams and cheerleaders had a great season, the National Junior Honor Society's first service project, Buddy Bears, was a huge success and our various clubs and activities keep our students and staff busy. Our second quarter will be filled with joyous occasions: the All Saints Day Mass and Parade of Saints, annual Thanksgiving food drive, volleyball and soccer and the annual Advent Student Retreat facilitated by the Sisters of the Home of the Mother.
On behalf of the faculty and staff I want to wish our families and their loved ones a most joyful and blessed Thanksgiving. For those who will be traveling, I wish you safe travels and safe returns. I am most grateful for all you do for Assumption Catholic School.
Psalm 100
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the lands!
Serve the Lord with gladness! Come into God's presence with singing!
Know that the Lord is God! It is he that made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him, bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.
Assumption Catholic School is centrally located near downtown Jacksonville and adjoining to Bishop Kenny Catholic High School's campus. Founded in 1923, Assumption is a thriving school with over 600 students in preschool through 8th grade. Assumption's curriculum stresses academic achievement within a Christian community where children feel loved and respected by their peers as well as their teachers. United with each other in meaningful liturgy and prayer, the students can further come to an understanding of the Christian life.
The curriculum is marked by current content and fresh approaches to methodology. There is emphasis on principles rather than fact, on learning through problem solving rather than by precept. We offer our students an array of reading, research, multimedia resources, and technology options so that they may succeed in the rapidly changing world.
In addition to these formal studies, Spanish, art, drama, music, media research and technology, and physical education are woven into the curriculum. Students are also given the opportunity to participate in team sports such as basketball, soccer, volleyball, cheerleading, softball and cross country. Together, with the Assumption families, we strive to build the student's character and Christian values, leadership abilities, and dedication to service through daily religious prayer and instruction by teachers, priests and sisters.

Everything comes back in style eventually - bell bottoms, seer sucker suits, Volkswagen beetles, and now layaway.
Introduced after the great depression, layaway helped retailers move merchandise in a money-tight era. Consumers relied on it to purchase items they couldn't afford at checkout. Store owners would allow shoppers to make payments over time, but they held the item in the store until it was paid for in full.
Once credit became easily accessible, layaway was pushed aside. But thanks to the credit crunch, the buy-now pay-later mentality of credit cards has been replaced by frugal consumer spending and an unwillingness to take on more debt. As a result, many shoppers are turning to layaway as a financially savvy way to make holiday purchases.
Layaway is largely confined to national retailers, but luckily most of the retail giants offering plans have stores located in the Louisville area. Here's the scoop on stores offering layaway plans. Sears: Items will be held until Dec. 23. Down payment required of $15 or 20 percent (whichever is greater). Terms include a nonrefundable service fee of $5 and a cancellation fee of $10. Home electronics, appliances and automotive merchandise are excluded.
Kmart: Offers an eight-week layaway contract. A $5 service fee plus a $10 cancellation, or a 10 percent down payment (whichever is greater) is collected when merchandise is put on layaway. The biweekly payment for all new contracts is 25 percent of the original balance. Burlington Coat Factory: Layaway items are held for 30 days. A 25 percent deposit is due at the time of purchase, another 25 percent payment is due in 14 days and the rest is due two weeks later. There is a nonrefundable $5 service charge, and if you change the layaway in any way, a $5 cancellation fee is charged. No cash refunds are given. TJ Maxx and Marshalls: A deposit of 10 percent of the total is required along with a nonrefundable fee, which typically is $5. Layaway items must be picked up and paid for in full within 30 days.
With the growing popularity of layaway, it's not surprising the concept has appeared online as well. For big-ticket items, one option is the website www.eLayaway.com. The online company represents more than 1,000 merchants selling everything from Coach bags to Electrolux front-loading washers. Categories include electronics, jewelry, appliances, furniture and home and garden. Payments are set for a period of three to 13 months and are automatically deducted from a bank account.
Payment and terms are set by the individual merchant; eLayaway charges a transaction fee that is 1.9% of the layaway total. The cancellation fee is $25.
Other businesses are picking up on the idea of layaway, too. An online travel site, www.layaway-travel.com, lets you pay for vacations on a monthly plan.
Maybe next year it will be big hair bands.

$6.5 million
Amount U.S. government spent last year on condoms and related activities in Uganda
40 million
Increase in number of U.S.-supplied condoms in the last five years in Uganda
KAMPALA, Uganda Beatrice Were says she did just what her government recommended - shunned sex until marriage and stayed faithful to her husband.
What she didn't realize is that he was unfaithful. Soon after their first child was born, he caught the AIDS virus and unwittingly infected her.
The question of why Ugandans like her husband didn't use a condom is at the heart of a dispute between some health activists and the U.S. government. The activists, as well as some Ugandan officials, accuse the United States of blunting the condom message in favor of abstinence, while the Americans say they are victims of misinformation and have actually increased nearly tenfold the number of condoms they supply to this African nation of 26 million.
Moreover, abstinence is an option promoted not just by faith-based U.S. groups but also by many Ugandan charities, including one headed by the Christian wife of President Yoweri Museveni.
The debate has unfolded in a country that was once among Africa's worst AIDS victims, with a million deaths and an estimated 900,000 additional infections. Uganda is also the pioneer of a groundbreaking strategy - known as ABC - that calls for abstinence until marriage, being faithful to one's partner and correct condom use.
"By assumption, you are saying that when you are married, marriage is a safety net - which is not true," said Were, who now campaigns to protect others with the international anti-poverty group ActionAid. She does not blame America for her plight, but said U.S. policies threaten the lives of young Ugandans.
Billboards urging condom use have disappeared from the capital, Kampala. In their place are posters, some funded by the U.S. government, urging youth to delay sex until marriage. The Ugandan office of Washington-based Population Services International, a leading supplier of free and subsidized condoms, says it was ordered to take down posters and pull radio ads in Uganda in 2004.
Deputy director Dr. Susan Mukasa said the office "got a call" from U.S. officials and was told that "what we were doing was unacceptable."
"We also got a lot of pressure from faith-based groups in Uganda who wanted the condom message removed from the general public," she said.
The President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief to Population Services International, a $15 billion package to combat AIDS in the world's 15 worst-hit countries, won praise when Bush announced it in 2003. But Dr. Sam Okware, a senior Health Ministry official and architect of the ABC plan that has become the model across Africa, says the plan had initially skewed the message away from condoms.
Bush's emergency plan "really shifted the emphasis to A and B just because of the amounts of money being put into these programs," Okware said.
He said the government has redressed the balance by using funds from other sources, including the World Bank, to promote condoms. But an official with the government-appointed Uganda AIDS Commission disputed that, saying abstinence and fidelity programs still dominate. He spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of repercussions.
Dr. Mark Dybul, the U.S. deputy global AIDS coordinator in Washington, said government policy is to support all three ABC components.
In a telephone interview, Dybul said he doubted anyone would have called PSI's work "unacceptable." But he said U.S. officials want to move away from simply mass marketing condoms and support more door-to-door and peer education plans.
"Mass marketing is important, but it doesn't change a lot of behavior. It just provides information and provides awareness," he said.

Corn prices surged to a new record high Tuesday, as the worst drought in more than 50 years continues to plague more than half the country.
Almost 90% of the United States' corn crops are in drought ravaged areas, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and nearly 40% are situated in the hardest hit spots.
Corn prices have soared more than 50% during the past six weeks as the crops continue to shrivel in relentless dry heat throughout the Midwest. They jumped another 0.7% Tuesday to a record high of $8.20 per bushel on the Chicago Board of Trade.
The Teucrium Corn ETF (CORN), which tracks a basket corn futures contracts and is up more than 44% over the past six weeks, slipped slightly on Tuesday.
Soybean prices, which are up more than 20% in recent weeks, also advanced. Prices rose 1% Tuesday to $16.63 per bushel, the highest since July 23. The Teucrium Soybean ETF (SOYB) gained slightly.
Soybean prices will likely continue to rise as the heat lingers in the area where soybeans are the major crop.
"Soybeans are second only to corn as the biggest agricultural product in the Midwest," said Alex Sosnowski, expert senior Meteorologist at AccuWeather.com. "While episodes of rain will continue over some agricultural areas in the Upper Midwest, Ohio Valley and East in the coming weeks, part of primary soybean growing areas will continue to be slammed by heat and drought."
Related: Get ready to pay more for your steak
Sosnowski notes that the next few weeks are crucial for soybeans. From now through mid-August is when soybeans finish their flowering stage and set pods, so mid-August is considered the cut-off for soybeans to receive rainfall without having a serious impact on production. Without rain, soybean yields are likely to be between 10% and 15% lower than the USDA had originally projected.
Prices for wheat, another grain, have also been rising on the back of corn and soybean prices. But on Tuesday, prices for wheat futures fell slightly, and the Teucrium Wheat ETF (WEAT) also dipped.>
The iPath Dow Jones-UBS Grains Total Return Sub-Index ETN (JJG), which tracks the price of corn, soybeans and wheat, was slightly lower.
As the drought continues to spread, and grain prices keep climbing, consumers may be squeezed at the grocery store, since higher corn and soybean prices lead to higher prices for beef, chicken, vegetable oil and other staples.

They're claiming this book is a true story. Yeah, right! It chronicles the unbelievable life of a Norwegian royal named Stefan Templeton who sounds like a cross between Don Juan, Gucci Mane, Urijah Faber, and Indiana Jones. He was at various times: a jewel thief, ultimate fighter, horseman, swimmer, philosopher, gigolo, and so on. Some people will believe anything.

Their huge array of gourmet BBQ rubs, artisanal salts and seafood spices are delivered to your door packaged in cool, little glass-top containers.
