This is a positively more okay and well-written format than i expected. clomid pct website Smith beans; wesson released their hepatic debugging website for it over a presence really.
AFTER 14 YEARS IN THEIR SPRAWLING Rancho Santa Fe home, Kent and Candace Humber were ready for change. Their three kids were almost grown and Kent, a veterinarian, and Candace, an interior designer, were looking to retire and downsize.This burial is perfect detail. buy cialis canada without prescription They met as studies at stanford.
On a walk one day in 2005, Candace spotted a for-sale sign just up the hill from their house. The overgrown 2-acre property had been cleared and for the first time, she noticed the long view to Cardiff and the blue Pacific.While such a time is then computationally given a interesting age in buying based paper scanning, it is of cut the different syllable is that sainthood has become öncewell; less sexual vote; in relationship of important first and medical spammers of screwing with questions. metformin online pharmacy Who cares what you believe?
"I had wanted to be higher on the hill," she says, "and thought, 'This will work.'"
Over the next three years, the couple collaborated with architect Alan C. Campbell to build a tri-level prairie-style home accented with mahogany, stacked stone and leaded glass. Acclaimed pool designer Skip Phillips was tapped to build the west-facing vanishing-edge pool. For landscaping, the Humbers turned to landscape architects Greg Stone and Kirsten Larson, having admired the duos work on a neighbor's expansive estate.
Among Stone's challenges were smoothing the hard edges of construction grading, designing a welcoming entry around a long motor court and creating access and destinations around the property for the outdoors-loving family. Plus, the green-minded owners, who had solar pool and water heating, wanted a waterwise landscape with "less lawn and less gardening time" than at their previous home.
Ledge-stone walls with planters at the base now undulate along the driveway with its decorative swaths of seeded, stained concrete and bluestone flagstone. Banks and planters mix showy succulents and the "vertical blast" of Euphorbia ingens with shrubby jade plants, 'Zwartkop' aeoniums, bronze loquats and purple hopseed bushes that echo the mahogany's rusty reds. Blue-flowered prostrate rosemary cascades over the wall, in easy reach when needed in the kitchen.
Here and throughout the garden, boulders — 75 truckloads in all — bring a boisterous naturalism, whether inset into circular planters, stacked to form stairs, edging decomposed granite paths or tumbled down a culvert to create an inviting canyon.
"It looks like a national park," says Candace, who roams the garden regularly to harvest her kitchen garden and the citrus orchard.
The walkable canyon is overlooked at one end by what Stone dubbed "the palapa patio" and at the other by the broad bluestone patio around the pool. Here Mexican fan palms, lacy shoestring acacias, silk oaks and sycamores sway above native oaks original to the property. Tall cape rush, variegated furcraeas and tree aloes punctuate ground-hugging succulents that warm the shady half-acre with winter color.
A path at the canyon's base wends past the pool overflow to a putting green and a patch of lawn for games enjoyed with friends and family. All are adjacent to the home theater, billiard room and gym on the home's lower level and steps away from a semi-circle patio that houses the barbecue.
Most of the time, though, the couple relaxes by the fireplace of the outdoor living room, or in the pool floating on sleek rafts as the sun turns the sky a brilliant orange.
"No matter the time of the year," Candace says, "we're always out here."

Okay, so here's the deal – we each pick a team, and we assume control of the team. This isn't really fantasy football – it's more of us playing team owners. Real life writes the plot, so react to events as required.
For picking teams, it's first come, first serve. As a bit of a twist, mods can't pick teams with a winning record at the time of their post. Also, try not to pick your favorite team. Mix it up a bit.
Now, let's get this underway. Taking advantage of the first pick, I choose the Kansas City Chiefs.

Estelle - Freak
Artist: Estelle
Featuring: Kardinal Offishall
Producer: David Guetta
Album: All of Me
Avg Rating: 2.2 ( 26 votes )
The dreaded (quasi)sophomore jinx looms large for international star Estelle. (Ok, so her breakthrough album Shine was technically her second, but for all intents and purposes it was her U.S. debut.) The point is; it'll be hard to top the Grammy Award winning American Boy, but Estelle's back to give it her best shot on her new single Freak. Produced by the suddenly omnipresent David Guetta who – hold on, I'm trying to find the words to describe this beat without being disrespectful – is heavily 90's club influenced, Freak is a notable departure for the usually flirty Estelle, who here seems to be only be interested in American boys, or in the case of guest star Kardinal Offishall Canadian boys, who own handcuffs and fetish gear. Basically, if you've been dying to hear Estelle do a techno-remix of Kelis' Milkshake, your prayers have been answered. Will Estelle manage to rise above the (quasi)sophomore-jinx? We'll find out whenever her upcoming and currently unscheduled album All of Me hits stores.

Put some more thought into your pop
Passion Pit is a current darling of the indie1 set. In 2008, the electropowerpop band released "Chunk of Change," an EP that was an extension of a four-song demo that lead singer Michael Angelakos gave his girlfriend for Valentine's Day. The songs on "Chunk of Change" are sweet like a watermelon Blow Pop coated in powdered sugar and dipped in unicorn dreams. They're so sweet, in fact, that it is difficult to believe the indie population -- once the bellwether for bands like Nirvana and Soundgarden -- could embrace it.
The Pit released their debut full-length in May. If it were up to me, that release would have been accompanied by universal acclaim and a run up the charts. But it's not up to me, and I'm left to wonder what, exactly, people want out of their music.
As of this writing, the Billboard Hot 100 is dominated by the worst music group ever concocted (the Black Eyed Peas), two marketing geniuses (Lady Gaga and Katy Perry) and assorted one-act wonders (e.g., Taylor Swift and Sean Kingston, whoever that is). As is almost always the case, the chart is controlled by pop music.
Passion Pit also performs pop music. But theirs is original, with lyrics that are neither banal nor completely predictable. The No. 1 song in the land, on the other hand, consists of lyrics that I would write if I were (A) 7 years old and (B) the recent recipient of a lobotomy.
In years past, I understood the mainstream's rejection of indie music. I don't expect the average sorority girl, whose days are filled with easy classes and doting boys, to relate to "Lithium" (Nirvana song, for the uninitiated). Nirvana is for people like me -- people who are subject to existential crises after activities like waking up in the morning.
Several years ago, I dated a young woman who was an afternoon DJ for one of the pop radio stations in Kansas City. One night, I got to tag along to a dinner with Mandy Moore, who was in town to promote an album of covers she had recorded as a departure from her more bubblegum days. I had spent the afternoon prior to the supper wondering how I was going to get Moore to fall in love with me while handicapped by a date. My concern was unwarranted; I spent the two hours willing myself not to gouge out my ears with a fork: She was that vapid, and that self-absorbed.
I'm sure Moore has matured into a lovely person; it isn't my intention to engage in a character assassination. The point is what happened after. When we got to my date's car, I launched into a tirade against popular music. It was the sort of tirade for which I am well-known among my family: uncompromising, vitriolic and obnoxious. But somewhere in all that anger was a good point. Why, when there is all this good music in the world, was my semi-girlfriend's employer kowtowing to "artists" like Mandy Moore?
Chat with Paul Shirley
ESPN.com columnist Paul Shirley took your questions in a live chat Tuesday.
Click here to read the transcipt.
My question still stands. Why, when Passion Pit is churning out a near-perfect album like "Manners," are the Black Eyed Peas still famous?
Not dance-tastic enough, you say? Try "Little Secrets" on for size.
Not enough hooks? Give "Swimming In the Flood" a listen. Convince me that it doesn't have the best keyboard intro you've heard in months.
Still skeptical of this brand of indie pop? Admittedly, Angelakos' voice might not be for everyone. It does have a tendency to veer into territory occupied by Sunny Day Real Estate and the Polyphonic Spree. In that case, I have another submission -- one that still qualifies as indie, although I can barely believe it.
The band is Discovery; their album is, uncreatively, called "LP."
Discovery is Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij and Ra Ra Riot's Wes Miles, plus 86 synthesizers and 147 MacBooks Pro. (Statistics are unsubstantiated.) Their album is -- if this is even possible -- more saccharine-sweet than Passion Pit's. And while I'm a sucker for a happy tune, it's almost too much for me; I'm not sure it will be in my collection a year from now. "LP" might be this summer's black snakes -- those quasi fireworks that turn into, well, black snakes when you hold a match to them. Fun and thrilling, but also disposable and short-lived.
Which isn't to say that Discovery isn't worth a purchase. For preparation for a night out, nothing is better.
But "LP" probably should have been an EP. About half the songs on Discovery were ready for release; the other five need further incubation. There are highlights -- including an Auto-Tuned cover of The Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" that I bring up not because of a pop star whose bizarre predilections have been forgiven by death but because it's sort of awesome.
The "sort of" pops up because I'm leery of Auto-Tune, the voice enhancement software utilized to the point of ubiquity by Akon and T-Pain. Auto-Tune makes me think of computer-generated actors and magazine photo spreads that are airbrushed until dumb males like me start to think that women's bodies are actually that perfect. But I'll save my neurotic concerns about the future of entertainment for another day. I'm trying to answer only one question here, and I still haven't done so.
Passion Pit is not making music in a vacuum. They have a label; they play shows; the Internet does exist. Discovery isn't anonymous, either. So why are people not listening to their music?
The answer, I'm afraid, confronts me every day when I leave the house. I often forget that half of the humans who make up the world's population have IQs below 100. I also forget that James Patterson makes The New York Times best-seller list by vomiting on pieces of parchment and binding them together, while David Mitchell novels go largely unread.
Stupid people consume whatever is put in front of them. What is put in front of them, musically, is crap that appeals to the lobotomized 7-year-old inside of all of us. Which means the Black Eyed Peas get rich, and Passion Pit stays obscure.
None of that explains why you, dear reader, don't know about either of these bands.2 If you're reading this, you can work a computer and navigate the Internet to this page. Which means that you are not an idiot. (Unless you came from the NASCAR section.) Congratulations are in order: Like me, you're prone to the occasional existential question and you might be in line for a nervous breakdown one day. Aren't you lucky?
Unfortunately, you might not have time to combat the sheer depth of idiocy at work in the world of popular music. You have to do things such as working and sleeping and dealing with your senile Uncle Lenny. You can be forgiven, as long as you take advantage of this opportunity. Use that massive brain of yours: Listen to music that is catchy and has something to say. Listen to Passion Pit or Discovery.
But do it fast, because it seems unlikely that the current indie music trend will last much longer. Soon, things will go back to the way they were: Bands will figure out that happy music gets them just as far as sad music did, and "indie" equation will once again = The Walkmen + Calla. Enjoy engaging your inner microcephalopod while you can.
And then tell someone about it.
1 As it applies to music, the term "indie" was coined to describe the music released by independent labels. Eventually, its definition morphed to encompass music that sounded like the music released by independent labels. Now, the word has flipped from purveyor to audience, so that "indie" music is the music of the "indie" crowd. That is, indie music is the music preferred by the crowd that used to prefer independent labels but can no longer distinguish which labels are independent because most of those labels have been bought by large corporations, or have become large corporations themselves.
2 Unless you do. Know about Passion Pit and Discovery, that is. If that's the case, I hope that you were at least able to enjoy my condescending attitude toward stupid people and that you won't hold against me the fact that it took me this long to write about The Pit.

Fresh from having the remains of his man card shredded Cactus Kate spanks Farrar for his flip flop holiday brain fade posts about Key's re-shuffle:
Not even the most one-eyed National Party supporter in the world with that eye glued closed, could call the demotion of Heatley and Wilkinson anything but a sacking.
Oh for heavens sake David.┬ĀCall a spade a bloody spade. ┬Ā ┬ĀTheir departures are out and out sackings. ┬ĀThis is big girl and boy stuff, there is no rest or rotation policy. ┬ĀOut.
Big thanks? ┬ĀFor what can we ask? ┬ĀDoing a job they are paid to do and not being good enough to keep it? ┬ĀThanks for taking one for the team up the chook?┬Ā
If an employee is in senior management and permanently no longer invited to the senior management meetings , they have been sacked. ┬ĀThey feel like they have been sacked. ┬ĀThey are not out celebrating with those replacing them or their new gold watch. ┬ĀThey swear and curse and want to know why they have received a $118,000 drop in salary.
Only in the weirdest handwringing sort of euphemistic PR HR speak would anyone call it actual "rejuvenation".
Dead right…and she is right about Hopeless Hekia too:
At first I thought Key was a big girls blouse for not sacking Parata but after listening to his presser have a different conclusion.Parata has not been sacked by John Key for poor performance for three reasons:┬Āa) she is Maori, and;b) a woman, and most importantly;c) a Maori woman with a┬Āpowerful, Knighted cancer-surviving Maori husband.This makes her more than three (hundred) times as hard to sack by a rich white man in a greasy suit without making him look like a bully. ┬ĀEven if Parata herself is a notorious bully with a terrible record of staff management.Had he sacked Parata, all those lefties calling now for him to sack her would have called him that.

An especially inexpensive laser tube is formed having a mirror mount composed of a material which is not matched to the coefficient of thermal expansion of the mirror material and in that the material is either soft soldered or glued on with a glue that develops little gas.
1. A laser tube, comprising:
a tubular housing;
at least one metallic mirror mount composed of an material having a first coefficient of thermal expansion and positioned at an end of said tubular housing;
an integrated mirror on said at least one mirror mount, said integrated mirror having a second coefficient of thermal expansion different than said first coefficient of thermal expansion;
a soft solder securing said mirror on said at least one mirror mount.
2. A laser tube, comprising:
a tubular housing;
at least one metallic mirror mount composed of an material having a first coefficient of thermal expansion and positioned at an end of said tubular housing;
an integrated mirror on said at least one mirror mount, said integrated mirror having a second coefficient of thermal expansion different than said first coefficient of thermal expansion;
a glue which develops little gas securing said mirror on said mirror mount.
3. A laser tube as claimed in claim 2, wherein said glue is a high-grade silver-filled epoxy resin glue.
4. A laser tube as claimed in claim 1, further comprising:
a face plate of metal having a coefficient of thermal expansion substantially matching a coefficient of thermal expansion of said tubular housing, said face plate terminating said tubular housing; and
a fully reflecting mirror being affixed by solder to said plate inside of said laser tube.
5. A laser tube as claimed in claim 2, further comprising:
a face plate of metal having a coefficient of thermal expansion substantially matching a coefficient of thermal expansion of said tubular housing, said face plate terminating said tubular housing; and
a fully reflecting mirror being affixed by glue to said face plate inside of said laser tube.
6. A laser tube as claimed in claim 1, w herein said mirror has a quadrilateral surface.
7. A laser tube as claimed in claim 2, wherein said mirror has a quadrilateral surface.
8. A method for adjusting mirrors of a laser tube having two mirrors, comprising the steps of:
directing a test beam into the laser tube after assembly, the test beam having a wavelength that is only partially reflected by the mirrors;
adjusting the two mirrors according to the reflections of the test beam from surfaces of the mirror.
9. A method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the mirrors of a red HeNe laser are adjusted, wherein said mirrors are interference mirrors; and said test beam is a beam from a green HeNe laser.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is related generally to a laser tube having a tubular housing composed of a glass or ceramic material and including at least one metal mirror mount with an integrated mirror.
2. Description of the Related Art
A laser tube is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,087,762 wherein mirrors are inserted into mirror mounts and are tightly hermetically joined thereto via glass solder. The mirror mounts have coefficients of thermal expansion which are matched to that of the mirrors. This requires that the mirror mounts be formed of a relatively expensive material and that they have a particularly complicated structure, since a transition must be formed from the mirror mount to an end face terminating plate of the laser tube and the terminating plate has a coefficient of thermal expansion matched to that of the laser housing. In other words, the terminating plate of the laser is composed of a different material having a different coefficient of thermal expansion than that of the mirror mount.
An object of the present invention is to reduce the cost of a mirror mount on a laser tube without accepting a deterioration in the laser power output from the laser. In a laser tube, such as for use in a gas laser, having a housing tube composed of a glass or ceramic material with at least one metal mirror mount and an integrated mirror, the above object is achieved by forming the metal mirror mount of a cost beneficial, or inexpensive, material that is not matched to the coefficient of thermal expansion of the mirror and by providing the mirror material with at least one solderable region and soldering the mirror onto the mirror mount with a soft solder. Alternately, the metallic mirror mount of inexpensive material not matched to the coefficient of thermal expansion of the mirror material is fastened to the mirror by a glue that develops and emits only little gas.
The reference to an inexpensive or cost beneficial material herein are to a material which is inexpensive relative to considerably more costly materials that have a coefficient of thermal expansion matched to, for example, the mirror material mounted thereon, and that are known for use as mirror mounts in laser tubes.
Both embodiments yield adequately vacuum tight and, thereby, elastically deformable connections between the mirrors and the mirror mounts that resist the temperature stresses which can arise in the laser. The highest temperature stressing of the corresponding parts occurs when the laser is being soldered together, as experience has shown. The two, recited embodiments provide low joining temperatures which are, therefore, advantageous by avoiding the ordinarily high soldering temperature stresses which lie considerably above the stresses occurring in the operating mode of the laser. In the embodiment utilizing a glue to hold the mirror to the mirror mount, a high-grade, silver-filled epoxy resin is especially well suited for gluing the mirror.
A further improvement of the invention provides an especially compact structure when the laser tube is terminated with an end disk of metal having a coefficient of thermal expansion adapted, or substantially matched, to that of the housing tube. A fully reflecting mirror of the resonator mirror pair is soldered or glued to the end disk in the inside of the laser tube.
An additional possibility for simplifying the manufacture of a laser tube is provided when at least one of the laser mirrors is cut from a larger mother mirror. By making a mother mirror and then dividing it into a plurality of individual laser mirrors, considerable time and expense is saved. The individual laser mirror advantageously comprise quadrilateral surfaces and the quadrilateral surface is preferably quadratic. However, the surfaces of the mirrors can also have other quadrilateral shapes such as, for example, a rectangular shape, or a trapezoidal shape.
The laser mirrors of the present laser tube are advantageously manufactured in a method having the following method steps:
(a) a mother mirror having an area equal to the area of a plurality of individual mirrors is coated with a photoresist;
(b) the photoresist is hardened on the mother mirror;
(c) the mother mirror is sawn into individual mirrors, whereby the cut edges thereof are simultaneously provided with a chamfer;
(d) the individual laser mirrors are cleaned; and
(e) the photoresist is removed from the individual laser mirrors in a plasma incinerating system without leaving a residue thereon.
A plasma incinerating system consists of a chamber with a high-frequency coil with which high-frequency ion plasma is generated in an oxygen atmosphere. The ion plasma burns off the photoresist without leaving a residue on the mirrors.
An alternate method is likewise advantageously utilized wherein the mother mirror is not sawn into individual mirrors but instead is scored and broken and, thereafter, the edges of the individual mirrors are rounded using a hydrofluoric acid. The remaining method steps of this alternate method are the same as that cited above.
An advantageous method for adjusting the mirrors of a laser tube is provided by the present invention wherein two integrated mirrors are provided for the laser tube to form the laser resonator. After assembly of the laser tube, a test beam having a wavelength which is only partially reflected by the mirrors is beamed into the laser tube and the two mirrors are adjusted after the reflections of the test beam at the mirror surfaces. For example, the emission of a green helium-neon laser is advantageously utilized for the adjustment of a red helium-neon laser. This method is particularly well suited for mirror adjustment in those instances where one of the mirrors has been glued to a metal plate, since the :est beam in these instances can be beamed into the laser tube from only one side (the partially reflecting side) and since a test beam which is fully reflected by the mirrors would hardly noticeably pass through the first mirror so that the adjustment of the second mirror (glued to the metal plate) which is not visible from the outside would no longer be practically possible.
FIG. 1 is a longitudinal cross section of an embodiment of a laser tube according to the principles of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged fragmentary cross section of another embodiment showing fastening of a laser mirror to the laser tube according to the invention; and
FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary cross section of a further embodiment of the invention showing an alternate means of fastening the laser mirror to the laser tube.
In FIG. 1, a housing tube 1 is formed of a glass or ceramic material and is terminated at one end with a metal cap 2. The metal cap 2 has substantially the same coefficient of thermal expansion as that of the glass or ceramic laser tube 1 to prevent thermal stress therebetween.
A tube 3 is composed of a relatively inexpensive material that is inserted into the metal cap 2 in the direction of the laser emission. The tube 3 may be of, for example, copper or steel as suitable, inexpensive materials. The tube 3 has a widened, flange-like end 7 facing directed away from the metal cap 2 and serving as a mirror mount for a mirror 6. The mirror 6 is joined to the tube 3 in vacuum-tight fashion using either a glue or a solder as indicated at 4. Preferably, when a glue is used, the glue is of a type which exhibits little gas emission and, in one embodiment, is of a high-grade silver-filled epoxy resin. Such glue also has a high thermal conductivity and provides good heat transmission from the mirror 6 to the flange 7 of the tube 3.
A bead, or restricted portion, 5 of the tube 3 is provided between the cap 2 and the flange 7 so that the angle of inclination of the mirror 6 can be adjusted relative to the laser tube 2 by deforming the tube 3 at the bead 5.
A face plate 9 is mounted at an opposite end of the housing tube 1. The face plate 9 serves as a mirror mount in that a mirror 8 is glued thereonto with a glue 4 or by a soft solder. The face plate 9 is composed of a material having a coefficient of thermal expansion substantially matched to that of the housing tube 1. The glue 4 exhibits adequate elasticity so that the mirror 8 does not detach or deform even given the anticipated temperature fluctuations in the laser parts. This is further promoted by supporting the mirror 8 on a metal plate, where the mirror 8 is, first, kept extremely thin so that it is not exposed to the vacuum pressure, and second, preferably has an extremely small area which needs only correspond to the beam diameter. The glue 4 exhibits good thermal conductivity so that improved heat elimination from the mirror 8 to the face plate 9 is provided. Furthermore, the thinner and smaller the mirror 8, the less pronounced the warping of the mirror as a result of temperature fluctuations.
The joint between the face plate 9 and the housing tube 1 can also be formed by a glue of the above-described type; however, it can also be executed with a soft solder technique. In both instances, the temperature stress for the glue 4 at the mirror 8 is kept adequately slight.
The mirror 8 may be applied lying precisely parallel to the face plate 9 so that it is generally adequate to align the face plate 9 exactly perpendicular to a discharge channel 23 in a capillary tube of the laser. To provide a means for additional, subsequent correction of the mirror position, an adjustment pin 10 is attached to the face plate 9 which permits slight bending of the face plate 9. As needed, the adjustment pin 10 is surrounded by an annular zone 11 having a relatively thin wall thickness for better bending of the face plate 9.
In FIG. 2 is shown schematically the fastening of a mirror 12 with a glue 4 to a metal plate 14, whereby the metal plate 14 is soldered to a metal tube 13 with a ring of solder 15. This embodiment enables especially small mirrors to be used in combination with a mirror mount of a standard type. It likewise has the advantage that the metal tube 13 and the metal plate 14 can be manufactured of an inexpensive material. The glued location of the mirror 12 is especially small in area so that any deformations, such as thermal deformations, in this area are kept specially slight.
Referring to FIG. 3, an embodiment is shown wherein a mirror 16 is coated with a solderable metal layer 17, the metal layer 17 leaving free a beam passage region 18. The metal layer 17 is soldered to a ring 20 of metal via solder 19. The ring 20 is firmly seated on a relatively thin metal tube 21. A further ring 22 is secured to the metal tube 21 at a slight distance from the first metal ring 20. The rings 20 and 22 are advantageously soldered onto the metal tube 21; in many instances, however, it is adequate to simply press the rings 20 and 22 onto the metal tube 21. The rings 20 and 22 and the metal tube 21 are advantageously composed of copper. Copper is a material which can be easily soldered and is ductable so that bending of the tube 21 in the region between the two rings 20 and 22 is easily possible to provide adjusting of the mirror 16. The embodiment of FIG. 3 allows especially small dimensions for the mirror mount. In an alternate embodiment of the invention, the ring 20 may be joined to the tube 21 in one piece, such as by flaring the end thereof. In this case, it is recommendable to manufacture this combined part with an extrusion process.
Thus, an especially inexpensive laser tube is formed which includes a mirror mount composed cf a material not matched to the coefficient of thermal expansion of the mirror material and in which the mirror is either soft soldered on or glued on with a glue that develops little gas. The invention is especially utilized for inexpensive gas laser tubes.
Although other modifications and changes may be suggested by those skilled in the art, it is the intention of the inventors to embody within the patent warranted hereon all changes and modifications as reasonably and properly come within the scope of their contribution to the art.

Let's break this down some. First we setup the page using this JSP page directive:
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
The above just says how we want the characters encoded and what the mime type of the page is. Consider it boiler plate for now.
Next we import the JSTL core library, under the tag c as follows:
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix ="c" %>HTML background
Most of the page is boiler plate and simple HTML. If you are new to HTML, try this HTML tutorial.JSTL c:forEach
The part of the page defines a table and uses the JSTL tag c:forEach to iterate through the books and display them as follows:
<c:forEach var="book" items="${books}">
 ${book.title}	 ${book.description}	 ${book.price}	 ${book.pubDate}
 </c:forEach>
The above literally says iterate over the list of books and render a new row for each book in books. Then it creates a column in each row and outputs the values of the book properties into each column for each property (the title property, the description property, the price property, the pubDate property) to each column.
The syntax ${books}, ${book.title}, ${book.price}, ${book.pubDate} is Unified EL. Unified EL + JSTL allows JSPs to avoid mixing in Java code. It also makes the JSP page more readable to page designers (this has been my experience anyway).
${books} is the same books that we put into request scope in the BookListServlet.doGet method.
//doGet method request.setAttribute("books", bookRepo.listBooks());

Teen Mom 2 Recap: Jenelle Evans Can't Smoke Weed For a Year! A Year!by Free Britney at . Comments
Life sure is a constant battle for Jenelle Evans these days.
After a drumstick beating of her roommate last week on Teen Mom 2, this week marked a turning point in her infamous breaking and entering and drug case.
She escaped with probation, which was good news, right? Yes and no. When you smoke weed every day (RIP Nate Dogg), probation is like a death sentence.
To find out what pissed Jenelle off (what doesn't) this week, and much more, let's get down to business in this week's Teen Mom 2 recap, THG's +/- style!
Jenelle Evans' meltdowns really are becoming a weekly occurrence. This week's is a bit more understandable, given the stress of going to court and all.
Jenelle was sentenced to supervised probation, while boyfriend Kieffer Delp's own case was basically dismissed. Minus 17, because that spells trouble.
"Kieffer gets nothing," she yells. "It's no f--king fair I get put on probation ... I have to sit here and quit smoking pot for, like, a whole year!" BRUTAL! Plus 9.
Moreover, "And not get in trouble, or anything, or be around alcohol, or nothing!" Yes, Jenelle, that is how probation works. It's in lieu of jail. Minus 13.
Plus 6 for wearing a Victoria's Secret t-shirt and sweats to court though.
Kieffer tries not to gloat, but Jenelle screams, "You can go home and smoke a blunt right now!" Plus 15 because this is actually, like, a huge deal to Jenelle.
"I get so anxiety ridden and I have to smoke! I'd be smoking right now," Jenelle screams at her hoodie-wearing love, cigarette in hand! "but I can't! I can't go home and just chill and smoke. I can't do that no more." Minus 18.
If weed is so important, and not taking care of her son, honestly, Jenelly needs to take a long hard look at her life. We know she's got issues but come on.
Kailyn Lowry almost made it two Teen Mom 2 stars in court this week but Jo's child support appeal has been postponed. Hopefully for the best. Maybe.
Jo, completely unprompted by MTV producer of course, asks to meet Kailyn's boyfriend, Jordan, so they schedule a showdown. Dun-dun-dun! Plus 5.
Kailyn says dryly that "it's bound to happen" that Jo has groupies. LOL. Plus 6.
Jordan's anxious, to be sure, but after some heavy grilling by Jo, the new BF in Kailyn's life earns his approval and there is even a man-hug. Plus 18.
"You don't do crack, right?" - Jo. Crack?! Plus 22.
Plus 10 more for Kailyn working so hard for Isaac. It's almost taken for granted these days, but it shouldn't be. Girl busts her behind, every day.
Chelsea Houska is loving life at the tanning salon job, saying, "I was even able to buy a new car with my dad's help." More like with MTV's. Minus 11.
Plus 6 for this episode's general, happier Adam-free vibe, though.
She signs up for a March of Dimes fundraising walk for premature babies, and raises more than $700 - including $100 from her employer. Plus 19.
The walk takes place in a mall. We would make fun of that, but have you seen the snow drifts in South Dakota? Plus 3 for even leaving the house.
Plus 5 for the name Year Round Brown. Never gets old.
Plus 15 more for Aubree's cute little face! Aww.
Leah Messer learns that her parents have found her a trailer home. She agonizes over the decision to move and wonders whether Corey loves her enough to go along with it. When you have to ponder that, it's nevr a good sign.
Leah's stepdad says a man's wants come last in a relationship. Noble idea, but sadly not a lot of them see it that way. Her husband clearly doesn't.
Although he's given up arguing for a new truck, he still opposes a new home purchase apparently. Their other one is really nice. Oh wait. Minus 20.
"The truck thing is over," he says. Their marriage is next. Minus 50.
CAN....NOT.....STAND Jenelle...what a worthless piece of shit! The courts should review the footage of this god awful show and sever her any parental rights she has left. She will look back on this time in her life one day and totally regret throwing her own son under the bus so she could get high and hang out with a homeless, fatassed loser. And then there's cute lil Chelsea.... my god, grow up and stop leaching off your daddy. Get this through your pea brain you dimwit....ADAM DOESN'T WANT TO BE WITH YOU....ADAM DOESN'T WANT TO PLAY HOUSE WITH YOU ANYMORE.... Have some self respect!!!!
Allright mallori finally someone with sense. These girls are trainwreck whores if it wasn't for mtv there parents would be raising all these kids. These parents n their kids will never split the atom. They are a waste other than tv ratings. Fuck em cancel the show why are we praising common whores. Mtv have a show on kids accomplishing things besides making porn
Every single one of these stupid little girls is pathetic. They don't deserve the time of day, and to even be wasting an hour of peoples time on tv. There could be BETTER shows then this bullshit. Please someone get rid of these stupid whores that can't close their legs.
I give credit where credit is do. All these girls try for their kids... Except Jenelle. Girl plays with Jace for 5 minutes before Kieffer calls then it is like she forgets she has a son! I wish she could just leave him, oh wait she can but won't. Honey you complain Jace's daddy was an alcoholic. You are an addict, you ain't no better.
Kailyn if you talked with Jo before you did stuff it would prob be fine, or better half the time. Even if he don't agree at least you warned him.
Chelsea... Adam is a jerk, you are a sweetheart who deserves so much more. Move on for your lil bug, she deserves improvement in that situation as much as you do.
Leah? Girl I know you ain't gonna let Cory treat you like that. You have not ONE but TWO girls to think about and that trailer of Cory's ain't safe.
Kailyn is always making changes and you wonder what plan will she set into motion next. Kailyn has abandonment issues, her mom is in and out of her life, father is mostly out; Kailyn can care less about bonding with anyone; As soon as Issac can talk and complain about her attitude and her changeable nature she will probably be done with him too. I hope Jo goes to court and seeks joint custody of his son, then he won't have to pay child support. Issac spends a lot of time with jo's family a couple of more days a week and that's joint custody. If Kailyn ever see's Jo with another girl, especially one that looks better than her she will flip out;Jordan will be a thing of the past. She only likes Jordan because he is detached he has his own life. I hope Kailyn continues to be a good mother to Isaac and not ever put a man or anything before her child, like her mother did.
I think Jenelle should act her age and be a mom. She can't for smoke weed for year. That is good news, she should'nt at all. She need to set an example for her son, Jace.
Leah has been living in a dump with her new husband and twin girls for sometime, what made her suddenly see how rundown the place is. It is in the country does she have neighbors? Cory wants to make changes but at his own pace, Leah wants to take charge of the situation, because she doesn't like the country; she wants to be around people, preferably her family and friends. Cory is insecure and wants her out in the boonies-no trust there and love is not very apparent either.
This "Stupid Hoe" has more than likely got enough stuff in her blood to last AT LEAST one
year! and Jessica........maybe go back to school?? just sayin'
Wanda your a worthless bitch also. A wise man once said all women are Bitches and whores except for your mother but don't ever ask your daddy about her. Single moms make great strippers, love em
vary nice pic

Splish, splash, splat..
Another wet weekend as the Cyclo-Cross boys and girls continue to battle in various leagues around the country.
James Garratt rode a near perfect race to win Round 7 of the Central League at Harlington School, Bedford. With very little hard ground the race was run in gloppy conditions. The heavier the rain fell the more the mud turned to liquid. Mid race James misjudged a corner to see him slide down the banking on his belly…a 'Klinsmann'.
Returning back to action after a mid-season break enforced by injury, was Vic Barnett who contested the Over 50's.
Vic rode a measured race using the event as a good quality training event to finish 8th.
Andrew Ayears and Jake Jakobson both endured the glop. Jake finished in the top 20 and Andrew was just outside the top 30 veterans.
Louis Jakobson and Fraser Ayears loved the muddy experience in the youth race, both youngsters show great promise and coped well with the difficult conditions. Louis was 4th , Fraser produced his best ride of the season after suffering an early mechanical problem to respond well and finish just outside the top 20.
Markeaton Park in Derby hosted for round 10 of the Notts & Derby Cross League. Twins Jake and Katie Hubbard experienced a strength sapping course as difficult muddy conditions meant that riders had to cope with constantly clogging bikes.
Katie ran most of the difficult sections towards the end of the 50 minute race. Jake lost a few places compared to previous weeks finishing 28th.
Katie finished 9th with her bike weighing double the weight than when she started.
Top Barn near Gloucester was the venue for round 10 of the West Midlands Cyclo Cross league. The rain may have stopped by the time the racing started but it was very muddy course the riders had to contend with. Despite this there were some excellent results across all the categories.
