Excerpted from The Ground Under My Feet by Eva Kollisch, German/literature faculty emerita
In 1939, as a 14-year-old Jewish refugee from Vienna, Eva Kollisch was rescued by a Kindertransport and brought to England. Some nine months later she and her two brothers were reunited with their parents in the United States. The Ground Under My Feet is a collection of autobiographical stories and essays tracing her journey. This essay begins after the war; the family has established a new life in Staten Island, New York.
She was of my mother's generation, an Austrian-Jewish refugee, small-boned, birdlike, instantly recognizable by her high-pitched voice, her white gloves, and the inevitable little hat she wore at a rakish angle. She used to make these hats herself: by profession she was a milliner, a modiste. But really she was a poet, in love with the German language and dedicated to Austrian literature as well as to Exile (i.e., Austrian-Jewish) literature.
It was she who was the guiding spirit behind those gatherings in the Liederkranz Hall or the Austrian Forum that began in the late fifties. Maybe twenty-five or thirty people would meet there, all Austrian Jews, writers and their friends. Fine faces, worried-looking; pale, stooped shoulders; sometimes a gleam of wit, a shared joke, an embrace. On occasion my mother would take me along. Having spent most of my childhood in an anti-Semitic small town, I had no good memories of that time and was critical of my mother's generation for still feeling so identified with Austria.
"Meine Damen und Herren" (Ladies and gentlemen), Mimi Grossberg would begin, with a graceful upward turning of her palms, "may I introduce…." Sometimes she would be talking about a dead Austrian poet; sometimes a living one would be standing by her side. She was informal, feminine, witty, at times ingratiating, but one sensed her powerful will. She was driven by two passions: her love of Austria; her hatred of the Nazis.
When it came to the Nazis, she could use strong language. She would call them shitty dogs, swine, devils, fiends from hell. But pre-Hitler Austria—Vienna with its high culture, and the Austrian countryside with its mountains and meadows, its rural folk and crystalline streams—that would bring tears to her eyes. She was not the only one: most of those assembled at these gatherings suffered from Heimweh (homesickness).
They were grateful to be in America; they knew they had missed—by chance, by luck, and by a matter of months—probable extermination. Now they were here, in the city of glass and steel, struggling to make a new life; but they would not give up their mother tongue: they identified with another tradition—graceful, literary, ironic, musical Vienna. Even after everything was known about the Holocaust, they bent over backwards to find as many "good" Austrians as possible.
To me, Mimi exemplified that spirit. It amazed me.
"How deluded can you get?" I would scream at my mother, including her in my accusation. My mother, the poet, said that I didn't understand. I hadn't spent most of my life in a country so rich in beauty and culture, then taken over by barbarians.
"But Mutti," I would remonstrate, "they, the Austrians, are the barbarians."
"Only some," my mother replied. My mother was a humanist. She didn't believe in the wholesale condemnation of a people.
But I continued to focus my antipathy on Mimi. There she was, rushing up to kiss my mother, when we arrived at the Liederkranz Hall or the Austrian Forum, bubbling over with, "Ach, Grete, wie schön!" (Oh, Grete, how beautiful!) This was about some recent poems my mother had sent her. As for me, she looked me over ironically, I thought, giving me the fish eye. I was certain the antipathy was mutual.
A gulf separated us: I with my need to look tragedy in the face, she with her public cheerfulness; I with terrible gaps in my knowledge of German and Austrian literature and history, she with her great familiarity with that tradition, with her wonderful memory for names and dates and places. I was always afraid she would find out all I didn't know. (A complicated mixture of guilt, shame, longing, and the need to earn a living would drive me later to do graduate work in German.) I envied the poetry she could recite by heart, the anecdotes she could tell about Grillparzer, Trakl, and Hofmannsthal, about Schnitzler, Werfel, Roth, and Karl Kraus, with a light touch and so much charm that you would have thought she had known them personally.
Yet to me, with my arrogant hierarchies, she was not an "intellectual"; she was an entertainer, a story-teller. "Ihr wisst ja" (Of course you know), she would begin one of her talks, tilting her head flirtatiously, the dark green or purple feather on her little hat bobbing and waving. So she would reach out for the community she was creating and binding with the assumption of a shared knowledge and experience. Only I was excluded; I was the only younger person in that room. I vented my anger at Mimi. I saw her as manipulative and sentimental; a master at name-dropping; an impresario of Heimweh.
That they would bother to carry on at all about Austria, these refugee writers who gave their readings in German, always with such mixed emotions, but always with their love for Austria prevailing—that was something I continued to marvel at. But secretly I judged their loyalty to be a moral defect of which my mother was also guilty.
"Mimi is not a real poet, at least you are," I would say to my mother, trying to create for her an extenuating circumstance. I admired my mother and loved her, though she irritated me greatly with her idealism and what I considered her inexcusable naïveté. My mother thanked me for the compliment. It so happened that Mimi, all modesty, agreed with my judgment. She called herself a minor poet with a major mission.
My mother and Mimi were not personally very close; theirs was a literary friendship. But they had much in common. Already middle-aged when they emigrated, stripped of their formerly unquestioned bourgeois status, they both worked hard to make a living: Mimi made hats, my mother had become a masseuse. They shared the same love of music, languages, and poetry. My mother had buried both her parents before the Anschluss. Mimi's parents, I had some dim recollection, had died in the Holocaust but I never heard her mention this.
In addition to her work, my mother had a family to take care of; Mimi, who had lost a beloved husband some years earlier, was childless. She used all her free time to promote the refugee writers. She deepened her study of Austrian literature, she searched for connections and bridges, and selflessly helped individual refugee poets find publishers. Over the years she succeeded in putting together a number of anthologies of Austro-American poets-in-exile, which can be found today in many university libraries and in archives, in this country and in Austria.
By the sixties, she began to spend summers in Austria, and frequently traveled there during the year as well. She went in a semi-official capacity. Her letters to my mother from the land of their birth were always happy. She had become an educator, a mediator, a cultural spokesperson.
Begrudgingly I started to admire her as I grew older. But something grated. That sing-song voice. That optimism. That living in a different time. That refusal to fully condemn America (as I and my friends did) for its role in the Vietnam War, for its ecological depredation, racism, militarism, and homophobia. Everything that was important to me separated me from Mimi and my mother. I thought the world was rotten to the core and would have to be made new. They felt (in spite of Hitler and subsequent genocides) that it was miraculous to be alive. They still had faith in "humanity"—and found ways of letting music, poetry, and nature console them for whatever was wrong.
The first true affection I felt for Mimi was after my mother's death in 1979.
I saw how much she had done for my mother—was still doing: helping with the posthumous publication of her last book; helping to find an archive for her work; transliterating letters in German I had received from my mother as a child in a Gothic script I had forgotten how to read.
Once I had to deliver some pages of my mother's manuscript to Mimi's apartment. Two tiny rooms in Washington Heights—books everywhere, an upright piano, dust, doilies. She served tea in fine porcelain cups and said she envied Grete for having such a good daughter to look after her work. I felt embarrassed. I was not a good daughter. I admired my mother's poems but didn't care for their romantic subject matter. I had my own life to lead; I could hardly wait to be done with the job of literary executor.
During my visit I began to notice that Mimi never talked about herself or asked me anything about my life. I existed only in relation to my mother, the poet. And Mimi existed only in relation to Austrian literature and the Austrian Exile writers.
"Why do you want to give your life to that stinking little country, that drove you out, that persecuted and killed its Jews?" I wanted to scream. But she was so much of a piece, so fiercely organized around a core: her mandate. Her single-mindedness frightened me. I could see that if I didn't watch out she would try to conscript me to carry on her work. I got up to leave.
"Will you come again?" Her eyes were not fishy now, they almost seemed to have some warmth in them. I embraced her.
Earlier, while I had sat there, listening, I had discovered to my surprise that I no longer was put off by her manner of speaking. It struck me how very Austrian it was, and how endearing I found that, even against my will. In her accents I recognized my mother; in her peculiarly lilting melody, the sound that once meant home.

Generic Name: insulin detemir (IN su lin DE te mir)
Brand Names: Levemir, Levemir FlexPen
What is Levemir?
Levemir (insulin detemir) is a man-made form of insulin, a hormone that is produced in the body. It works by lowering levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. Levemir is a long-acting form of insulin that is slightly different from other forms of insulin that are not man-made.
Levemir is used to treat type 2 diabetes in adults.
Levemir is also used to treat type 1 diabetes in adults and children who are at least 2 years old.
Levemir may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Important information
You should not use Levemir if you are allergic to insulin detemir, or if you are in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis (call your doctor for treatment with a short-acting insulin).
Many other drugs can potentially interfere with the effects of Levemir. It is extremely important that you tell your doctor about all the prescription and over-the-counter medications you use. This includes prescription, over-the-counter, vitamin, and herbal products. Do not start a new medication without telling your doctor.
Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) can occur if you skip a meal, exercise too long, drink alcohol, or are under stress. An insulin overdose can cause life-threatening hypoglycemia. Know the signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and how to recognize them: headache, hunger, weakness, sweating, tremors, irritability, or trouble concentrating. Be sure your family and close friends know how to help you in an emergency.
Before using Levemir?
You should not use Levemir if you are allergic to insulin detemir, or if you are in a state of diabetic ketoacidosis (call your doctor for treatment with a short-acting insulin).
To make sure you can safely take Levemir, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, or if you are taking any other medications.
FDA pregnancy category B. Levemir is not expected to harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether insulin detemir passes into breast milk or if it could harm a nursing baby. Do not use this medication without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
See also: Pregnancy and breastfeeding warnings (in more detail)
How should I use Levemir?
Use Levemir exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not use in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label. Your blood sugar will need to be checked often, and you may need other blood tests at your doctor's office. Visit your doctor regularly.
Levemir is injected under the skin. You may be shown how to use injections at home. Do not self inject this medicine if you do not fully understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of used needles and syringes. If you use this medicine once daily, use the injection at your evening meal or at bedtime. If you use the medicine twice daily, use your evening dose at least 12 hours after your morning dose.
Your doctor may want you to use a short-acting insulin in addition to Levemir. Always inject your insulins separately. Do not mix or dilute Levemir with any other insulin. Do not use an insulin pump.
Levemir should be thin, clear, and colorless. Do not use the medicine if it looks cloudy, has changed colors, or has any particles in it. Call your doctor for a new prescription. Choose a different place in your injection skin area each time you use this medication. Do not inject Levemir into the same place two times in a row.
Never share an injection pen or cartridge with another person. Sharing injection pens or cartridges can allow disease such as hepatitis or HIV to pass from one person to another.
Needles may not be included with the injection pen. Ask your doctor or pharmacist which brand and type of needle to use with the pen. Use a disposable needle only once. Throw away used needles in a puncture-proof container (ask your pharmacist where you can get one and how to dispose of it). Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets.
Know the signs of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and how to recognize them: headache, hunger, weakness, sweating, tremors, irritability, or trouble concentrating.
Always keep a source of sugar available in case you have symptoms of low blood sugar. Sugar sources include orange juice, glucose gel, candy, or milk. If you have severe hypoglycemia and cannot eat or drink, use an injection of glucagon. Your doctor can give you a prescription for a glucagon emergency injection kit and tell you how to give the injection. Be sure your family and close friends know how to help you in an emergency.
Also watch for signs of blood sugar that is too high (hyperglycemia). These symptoms include increased thirst, increased urination, hunger, dry mouth, fruity breath odor, drowsiness, dry skin, blurred vision, and weight loss.
Check your blood sugar carefully during a time of stress or illness, if you travel, exercise more than usual, drink alcohol, or skip meals. These things can affect your glucose levels and your dose needs may also change.
Your doctor may want you to stop taking Levemir for a short time if you become ill, have a fever or infection, or if you have surgery or a medical emergency.
Ask your doctor how to adjust your Levemir dose if needed. Do not change your medication dose or schedule without your doctor's advice. Storing unopened vials or injection pens: Keep in the carton and store in a refrigerator, protected from light. Throw away any insulin not used before the expiration date on the medicine label. Unopened vials or injection pens may also be stored at room temperature for up to 42 days, away from heat and bright light. Storing vials after your first use: Keep the "in-use" vials in a refrigerator or at room temperature.
Storing injection pens after your first use: Keep the "in-use" injection pens at room temperature. Do not refrigerate.
Throw away any Levemir kept at room temperature and not used within 42 days.
Do not freeze Levemir, and throw away the medication if it has become frozen.
See also: Dosage Information (in more detail)
What happens if I miss a dose?
Follow your doctor's directions if you miss a dose of insulin. It is important to keep Levemir on hand at all times. Get your prescription refilled before you run out of medicine completely.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention or call the Poison Help line at 1-800-222-1222. An insulin overdose can cause life-threatening hypoglycemia.
Symptoms of severe hypoglycemia include extreme weakness, confusion, tremors, sweating, fast heart rate, trouble speaking, nausea, vomiting, rapid breathing, fainting, and seizure (convulsions).
What should I avoid?
Do not change the brand of insulin detemir or syringe you are using without first talking to your doctor or pharmacist. Avoid drinking alcohol. It can lower your blood sugar.
Levemir side effects
Get emergency medical help if you have any of these signs of insulin allergy to Levemir: itching skin rash over the entire body, wheezing, trouble breathing, fast heart rate, sweating, or feeling like you might pass out.
Call your doctor at once if you have a serious side effect such as:
itching, swelling, or redness where you inject Levemir;
swelling in your hands or feet; or
low potassium (confusion, uneven heart rate, extreme thirst, increased urination, leg discomfort, muscle weakness or limp feeling).
Less serious Levemir side effects may include:
thickening of the skin where you inject Levemir;
weight gain;
mild headache, back pain;
stomach pain; or
flu symptoms, or cold symptoms such as stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat.
This is not a complete list of side effects and others may occur. Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
See also: Side effects (in more detail)
What other drugs will affect Levemir?
Tell your doctor about all other medications you use, especially other diabetes medications such as:
exenatide (Byetta, Bydureon);
liraglutide (Victoza); or
any oral (taken by mouth) diabetes medications, especially metformin (Glucophage, Actoplus Met, Avandamet, Glucovance, Janumet, Jentadueto, Kombiglyze, Metaglip, or Prandimet).
Using certain medicines can make it harder for you to tell when you have low blood sugar. Tell your doctor if you use any of the following:
asthma medication;
cholesterol-lowering medication;
heart or blood pressure medication, including a diuretic (water pill);
medicine to treat depression or psychiatric disorders;
steroid medication;
sulfa drugs; or
thyroid replacement medication.
This list is not complete and there are many other drugs that can increase or decrease the effects of Levemir on lowering your blood sugar. Tell your doctor about all medications you use; prescription and over the counter drugs, vitamins, minerals, or herbal products. Do not start using a new medication without telling your doctor.

Duxbury High School senior Carson Lloyd has been selected to perform in the NAfME (National Association for Music Education) All East Honors Ensemble Orchestra for an audience of thousands at the Bushnell Center of the Performing Arts in Hartford Conn., April 7.
The orchestra is made up of approximately 150 of the best high school musicians in 13 Eastern states from Washington DC to Maine. Lloyd is one of five musicians selected from Massachusetts.
Lloyd began playing violin in the fourth grade in Plymouth, where he studied violin with Plymouth Philharmonic cellist Bonnie Rapier Harlow, a Duxbury High School graduate. Harlow visited the schools early in the mornings to teach students how to play their instruments and encouraged Lloyd to continue with music.
After studying with Harlow, Lloyd went on to study under Victor Romanul, violinist with the Boston Symphony and Clayton Hoener, violinist with the Boston Pops. Lloyd currently has five elementary school violin students through the school's music programs to whom he gives half hour lessons to each week.
Mary Lynn Carson, Lloyd's mother, said Harlow was instrumental in helping her son figure out what kind of music he wanted to play. She said she never had to remind Lloyd to practice violin, he just always picked it up.
"He was like a duck to water," Carson said. "Usually you have to fight with kids to remind them to practice. Carson would just pick it up whenever he pleased; it added up to about two hours a day."
Lloyd was accepted as an All-State performer in Feb- ruary 2012 and was shortly thereafter asked to apply as a candidate for the NAfME conference. Six months later, after filling out lots of paperwork and auditioning, he was accepted to the orchestra.
Over 700 high school mu- sicians in band, orchestra, treble and mixed chorus will be working on challenging music over the three days of intensive rehearsals in preparation for Sunday's performance. These musicians will be performing under the leadership of four prominent conductors for this biennial event.
Carson said former DHS orchestra director James Vinci and current orchestra director Nick Tatarka had significant and positive impacts on Lloyd and inspired him to challenge himself.
"There are not very many schools at all that even offer orchestra," Carson said. "Duxbury is exceptional in that way and we've been especially lucky to have two extraordinary orchestra directors."
For Lloyd, who has been the first-chair violinist at DHS since freshman year, the pressure is off for a little bit and he is looking forward to the experience of working with the other members of the orchestra.
Carson, herself an artist, said she encourages her children to explore the arts and is very proud of her son for ac- complishing so much.
"Learning to play the violin can be intimidating," she said. "He was voracious in learning and it really helped him find his voice."
Lloyd has decided he would like to pursue a major in science in college and is currently deciding between five colleges, to which he has been accepted. Until then, he plans on continuing to play with various local groups and practicing more difficult music.

One fell down, one was sold to a wealthy American, and the latest incarnation still spans the River Thames to this day. Of course, we're referring to London Bridge, which has existed in various guises since the Roman occupation began around AD 50. But what is less well known is that stone pillars cut for the bridge but ultimately unused lie forgotten in their rural quarry to this day.
(Images top and bottom in public domain)
After the Romans abandoned Londinium (which later became London), the city fell into disrepair and the bridge entered a hazy period of its history. The river was a political boundary between the Saxon kingdoms of Mercia and Wessex, and according to later skaldic tradition, the existing bridge was destroyed by Norwegian Prince Olaf in the service of Anglo-Saxon King Aethelred against the Danes. Whether this is accurate is uncertain, although the episode is thought to have inspired the nursery rhyme: London Bridge is Falling Down.
(Images main and inset in public domain)
Next came a medieval bridge (inset) built in the time of King John to replace another older structure destroyed – this time by fire – in 1136. John's impressive offering – which took 33 years to build and finally opened in 1209 – boasted shops and other structures allegedly up to seven storeys high in a bid to generate revenue for its maintenance. "Old" London Bridge survived until Victorian times when, at 600-years-old and somewhat decrepit, plans were drawn up for its replacement. Engineer John Rennie proposed the solution and the "New" London Bridge – the quintessential one that is so often confused with Tower Bridge – opened in 1831.
(Images 2 & 4 in public domain; 1 & 3 licensed under CC-SA-3.0-Germany & CC-SA-3.0 )
Ironically, twentieth century motoring advances meant Rennie's modern bridge lasted nowhere near as long as King John's and was put up for sale in 1967 on the recommendation of Common Council of London member Ivan Luckin. At the time, Luckin remarked: "They all thought I was completely crazy when I suggested we should sell London Bridge when it needed replacing." But the plan worked and the following year London Bridge was sold to American oil tycoon Robert P. McCulloch and shipped to Lake Havasu, Arizona.
(Image licensed under Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike 3.0 Unported)
McCulloch's bridge was reconstructed around a concrete frame using original stones as cladding. Left-over stones were returned to Merrivale Quarry on Dartmoor. Merrivale was abandoned and flooded in 2003, before which some of the stones were sold in an online auction. The iconic bridge that has become as much a symbol of the city as the Houses of Parliament or Westminster Abbey may have left British shores forever, but a little research will bring the discerning explorer to Sweltor Quarry, near Merrivale. Here, the original pillars intended for use in the 1902 widening of London Bridge, but destined to remain behind, linger on to this day (above).

The most modern incarnation of London Bridge was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1973. More bland and utilitarian in appearance, it nevertheless was designed to withstand the relentless London traffic. The picture shows a typical 1960s/'70s design spanning the River Thames against the backdrop of the modern City of London skyline, which should ultimately cater to the city's needs for years to come.

Ordnance Insignia of the British Army
Patterns of Metal Shoulder Titles
Metal Shoulder Titles were another result of the army reorganisation of 1881, when they were first introduced for officers tropical uniforms. But after Khaki Drill (K.D.) uniforms were issued in India in 1885, titles were worn by other-ranks as well. With the introduction of the 1902 Pattern Service Dress (S.D.) Embroidered Shoulder Titles were also being worn, until 1907 when Clothing Regulations first stated that Metal (Normally Brass) Titles were to be used. The regulations stated Metal shoulder titles will be worn on both shoulder straps of garments for which they are authorised. The lower edge of the title will be ½ inch above the seam joining the shoulder strap to sleeve They went on to say Titles, etc., will be worn on the shoulder straps of tunics, S.D., and K.D. jackets and Greatcoats. When Battle Dress (B.D.) was introduced in March 1938 , Cloth Slip-on Titles along with Arms-of-Service flashes were being used, and by 1943 coloured cloth shoulder titles being worn by practically every regiment and corps on the sleeve of the B.D. blouse below the epaulette. Metal Shoulder Titles however continued to be used after the war in overseas theatres, and by some units in shirt sleeve order.

It would appear that the war on opposition to mustardic rule is being ratcheted up a notch or three. This will require more scorn, more derision, more contempt and above all, more defiance.
Front Page Magazine:
Originally published by the Gatestone Institute.
Recently on Egyptian TV, Dr. Abdullah Badr, an Al Azhar graduate and professor of Islamic exegesis, proclaimed that a new day has arrived, when there will be absolutely no more toleration for anyone who speaks against Islam—including people who speak against the implementation of Sharia law and its draconian punishments.
Currently on trial for libel and defamation of female Egyptian artist Elham Shahin—whom, among many other derogatory statements, he called a "whore"—an unrepentant Badr, appeared again on TV, and made the following oath:
I have sworn to Allah, that any dog—for that is how Allah described them, for they are like dogs that are constantly panting—that any dog who mocks the Sharia, or mocks Islam, or blames it, we will cut his tongue out…

Poor Little CEOs
Gross, Daniel, Newsweek
Byline: Daniel Gross
Government largesse is never enough.
After an eight-year slumber, the Environmental Protection Agency is issuing regulations again. Two years after an appalling financial debacle, Congress is finally moving to regulate Wall Street. But to hear our nation's commercial chieftains tell it, it's enough to plunge us back into recession. "We have to become an industrial powerhouse again, but you don't do this when government and entrepreneurs are not in sync," lamented General Electric CEO Jeff Immelt in a recent speech. On July 12, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the Business Roundtable, and the National Federation of Independent Business held a "Jobs for America" summit. While President Obama met with CEOs at the White House, the summiteers called for--wait for it!--cutting taxes for companies, extending tax cuts for the wealthy, and opening up federal areas for resource exploration.
The notion of these guys holding a jobs summit is a little like BP holding a deepwater-drilling safety summit. Between 2001 and 2009, corporate America designed the playing field to its specifications--easy money from the Federal Reserve; lower taxes on capital gains, dividends, and income; an administration that let industry essentially write its own regulations. But the players proceeded to put up goose eggs. In January 2001, there were 111.6 million private-sector payroll jobs in the U.S. In January 2009, when Bush left office, there were 110.9 million. The stock market is basically where it was a decade ago. The lost decade ended with the deepest recession since the Great Depression.
Yet the CEO class exhibits an unseemly combination of myopia and ingratitude. This administration--like the Bush administration before it--continues to be remarkably solicitous of their needs. The White House had recently asked the Business Roundtable "to provide a detailed list of concerns about the administration's regulatory agenda," according to The Wall Street Journal. What's more, many of the policies recently put in place are quite friendly to big business.
Consider Immelt's General Electric. The conglomerate's massive financing business, GE Capital, had relied on short-term borrowing in the credit markets for most of its funding--a business model that left it highly vulnerable in the fall of 2008. The Federal Reserve rode to the rescue by guaranteeing the vast commercial paper market, in which GE Capital was a significant participant. …

I'm looking at the Jersey User Guide and trying to set up a Hello World example using a Jersey web service and an embedded Grizzly server.
I'm running through Section 1 "Getting Started". I've got the code example in section 1.1 compiling just fine:
// The Java class will be hosted at the URI path "/helloworld"
public class HelloWorldResource {
// The Java method will process HTTP GET requests
// The Java method will produce content identified by the MIME Media
// type "text/plain"
public String getClichedMessage() {
// Return some cliched textual content
return "Hello World";
But then I get to section 1.2, "Deploying the Root Resource", which is where I'm supposed to set up an embedded Grizzly web server to test my resource with:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
final String baseUri = "http://localhost:9998/";
final Map<String, String> initParams =
new HashMap<String, String>();
System.out.println("Starting grizzly...");
SelectorThread threadSelector =
GrizzlyWebContainerFactory.create(baseUri, initParams);
"Jersey app started with WADL available at %sapplication.wadl\n" +
"Try out %shelloworld\nHit enter to stop it...", baseUri, baseUri));
The problem is, it seems this user guide has not been updated in awhile and the class
GrizzlyWebContainerFactory no longer exists!
I'm using Jersery v 1.10 and Grizzly v 1.9.41.
Can someone help me recreate this example? I know I can run the web service in a container, I'm interested in running it via the simplest possible embedded server setup that requires no additional resources (web.xml, etc.) in my project, just the 2 classes.

can anybody tell me the most ridiculously expensive single speed bicycle going? if not, would you be able to direct me into the right direction into finding out; maybe a company or website, or even an expensive brand?
can anybody tell me the most ridiculously expensive single speed bicycle going? if not, would you be able to direct me into the right direction into finding out; maybe a company or website, or even an expensive brand?
There is no answer to your question.
how come there is no answer?.. i have come across a treck 69er for £1,500, but i cannot find anything more expensive. I have been told there are definitely higher prices, but unfortunately, i cannot find any.
Is much more expensive better?
no, not better, but i have to find the more expensive bikes just for research. Iv come across you bike already, that was one of the other most expensive i have come across, but i have been told there a much more expensive ones.. are there any companies or makes you know of?
There's a company based out of Missoula, MT that will custom build you a single speed for close to a million dollars. They actually do a digital scan of your body and base the entire build on that scan. I've heard that the most annoying part of it is that you aren't supposed to eat anything for 24 hours beforehand, because it can throw your weight off by a bit and make the bike not fit right.

Or buy the most expensive anything frame you can find, and build up the rear wheel with an eccentric hub.
Carbon fiber everything on a ridiculously expensive track frame and that should take you into the stratosphere you are aiming for.
basically, i am researching for a TV company and we need to know the most expensive. again, after looking into all of these suggestions, i still have nothing more expensive than the 69er single speed.
you seem to know what you are talking about.. and from your last message, i guess there probably aren't that many answers, but anything you can think may help..?

RE: Koga
That number is slightly skewed though. It includes the cost of R&D. You can't just go out and buy one of those for $1 million dollars.

If you're looking for any particular Pokemon such as a shiny Pachi then you can check out our
trade section
I was a huge fan of Pachi due to a Pokemon TCG deck known as ZPST:Zekrom,Pachirisu,Shaymin, Tornadus !
Look how cute this little guy is:
The concept was putting energy from pachi, then using shaymin to move the energy onto your attacker for fast damage !
My first Pokemon game was blue on my old grey gameboy !
Oh the memories. I'm also a fan of FPS ! I mainly have become more of a PC gamer, but I still own a 360 to play some shooters on !
I wish you the best of luck with your quest and if you have any questions please feel free to ask myself or fellow members !
Enjoy your stay ^_^

How does your 2E child do with the other kids in the gifted program? DS knows a lot of the kids but I see him as not part of the group or groups. In the past he had been friends with the other kids when they were in the same class when they were in the regular class (not yet tested for the gifted program). Over time, I see less interest in him. I am working with him about his social skills. Reminding him to say hello, use kids names, show interest). He used to be better with this. I aslo spoke with the school counselor. She has a social skills group that she plans to do but is waiting on something. I'm curious how other kids are doing socially within this group.
2E and fitting in with the other gifted kids
Last year, DS was the only gifted Kindy kid and there were no gifted first graders. They started him out in the class with the gifted second and third graders, but found that did not work well. In the end, the gifted teacher just saw him alone for 30 minutes before her class with the older kids. I think he may be alone again this year, but he has only met with the gifted teacher once or twice since school started.
We just (this week) pulled DS out of traditional school and enrolled him in cyber school. They also have a gifted program, but I'm not sure yet how it works.
The point to all of this is that DS, who is gifted and has Aspergers and ADHD, has not been around other gifted kids. They tried and it didn't work, because he was just so different from the other kids who were at least 2 years older and not 2E.
College graduate job hunting mom to my homechooler, AJ (2005) - ASD, ADHD, gifted, physical delays - My miracle after 10 years of infertility!
We have had a mixed bag experience. Last year, when my daughter was in kindergarten, she was the lone child mixed in with mostly 2nd graders and a few 1st graders. She did fine with the content but didn't really develop any meaningful friendships. She had her (private) aide with her during all of those classes.
My daughter does fine with the in-class extension (there are 3 other gifted kids in her 1st grade class), but for the heavy hitting content -- literacy & math -- she works one on one with a G&T specialist. Socially, she wouldn't be able to handle going up multiple grades, but academically, she is performing at that higher level. Like Lisa, I wouldn't be surprised if homeschooling or partial homeschooling were in our future at some point.
At our school, there are a fair number of 2e kids as well as some who probably are 2e but whose parents refuse to comtemplate the SNs/LD side of things. As a result, you're dealing with a pool of kids whose social skills aren't the greatest to begin with, which can make it hard for some kids to "fit in."
I would strongly encourage you to pursue the social skills support yourselves (looking outside of school) if the school is dragging its heels on that promise. Depending on where you live, there might be some great offerings afterschool or on the weekend. Many large psychology practices or early intervention centers run such programs.
Good luck!

Galnguj is cyberschooling, online homeschooling?
Baddmammajamma partical homeschooling sounds interesting. How dos that work.
Thanks for the responses. DS is 9. We did social skills group a while ago but even then he was high functioning for that group. He is high functioning, has friends, understands many emotions but does not easily make new friends or make much small talk. We are working with him on being friendly (interested and approachable). He will respond to others, ask questions here and there but he does need some help. I talk to the guidance counseler new week about what I have noticed with the class and where she is at with starting the program. I have looked into a few places but finances are an issue right now. But, I will keep looking. Thanks again.
dd gets along better with the bright-to-gifted kids but none are her buddies .... so it's good that even though she's not in the G&T program, she is always put in classes with those kids.
while I do understand that we want our children to be liked, keep in mind that some kids are introverts and there is nothing wrong with that. My dd likes her alone time. I am a loner too and while sometimes a loner might wonder or wish for more friends, it's no more often than a popular social person wishes for some quiet.

DS is 2E and he has some gifted friends (mostly kids we see at recurring school events); however in his day to day class, he mostly associates with other ADHD/class clowns.
This is the first year he's been in a truly gifted class and good old DS found the ONE troublemaker, sigh.

DD is 9 and 2E - gifted and ADHD/ODD. She has zero social skills. She is very extroverted and it's even mor apparent because of her ADHD. I think a lot of times she comes on too strong with other kids and it's off-putting. She doesn't pick up on social cues at all and the other kids get frustrated with her.
She does seem to finally be making at least a couple of friends this year, but I am trying not to get too excited about it as she's said she had friends before, but it only lasted a short while before the kids moved on from her. She is very emotional, and also emotionally needy and bossy as all get-out, which could be in part because she's an only child.
We just got her 504 Plan written this week and the school psychologist said he was going to try to get a social skills group started at the school as there are a few other students who need it also. I have looked in the community and there just isn't anything for kids with ADHD. The only thing I found was a group for kids with Autism and they required an ASD dx to participate.
Anyway, the gifted kids don't get DD's weird behaviors from the ADHD. ADHD kids that I've seen don't appreciate being corrected all the time when DD's gifted know-it-all side comes out. She really can't win!

Wow Galnguj. That sounds great. I never heard of cyberschooling. I like all the supports you have with it
DS is gifted and has GAD - and now suspected ADHD. Our district does not have gifted only classes (unfortunately) but he does received differentiated learning inside his 2 classes (he has one class for math / science and one for social studies / English / writing, the area in which he's most gifted).
DS's BFF is another gifted child - he's gifted in math and they compete like crazy is all aspects of school. They are also both huge extroverts, so they get in trouble for being chatty in class on occasion, but otherwise, get along great. This BFF (B) is used to my DS's quirks that come along with his anxiety and it doesn't phase him at all.
Most of the rest of DS's friends are not gifted and are average students but are very quirky. He tends to gravitate towards kids that are a little "different", much like him.
I will say that, this year, DS has been having some trouble with some of the "cool" kids, mostly because he is a bit different. My DS has a TON of self-confidence and hasn't been taking any crap from these kids, but I know it's hurting him that they are so nasty. The "cool" kids at his school, particularly in his grade, are the so-called "jocks" - and I should note that he is a good athlete, plays on a premier team, etc. But he doesn't like to do sports at recess (mostly because he has trouble controlling himself when he loses) and so the "jocks" call him names and pick on him for not competing. I hate it for him, but I can't fix it for him either. We're working on ways he can handle those situations without getting mouthy (his typical response - totally talks down to the kids using his super-charged language skills) or getting into screaming matches. It isn't easy.

Is his gifted program his homeroom? A pull-out program? Or, just separated math & reading classes?
My son's "gifted program" is his homeroom.
If your son's "program" is only a few hours a week with kids he doesn't see otherwise, then naturally he wouldn't bond with them. Does the school offer "geeky" clubs like chess or math or lego robotics? This is where he could bond with other gifted kids.
By the way, the high IQ a person has the more likely he/she is to be an introvert. Google "raising introverted child". You'll find it very interesting. Introverts don't bond with just anybody. We need to get to watch first.

We werden zeer hartelijk ontvangen door Sylvia en Vincenzo en kregen zelfs bij het afscheid nog een cadeautje. Het appartement was netjes, schoon en ruim genoeg voor twee personen. Het enige minpunt is dat we graag een balkon hadden gehad. We hebben er erg van genoten om tussen de lokale bevolking te wonen. In het oude centrum was alles goed te voet te bereiken. De auto is gratis te parkeren aan de rand van het centrum. We hebben ons beperkt tot uitstapjes in de provincie Trapani. Wat een prachtige omgeving! We komen graag nog een keer terug op Sicilie!!! Dank je wel lieve Sylvia en Vincenzo. Het was fijn jullie te ontmoeten, René en Annet
Very good location - in center of old city. Nice, clean after renovation, apartment with very well equiped kitchen. Very hospitable and helpful hosts. Maps and tourists brochures about Trapani and region at place. Bicycles free of charge.
Relation price quality - excellent.
Sylvia and Vincenzo - thank you very much.
Eva and Roman
We were in Casa di Giorgio for 5 days and we enjoyed our stay. The appartment was a very nice place to be. Near by nice restaurants , bars, la porta, the station, and other facilities. Sylvia and Vicenzo are very kind and friendly.
Maybe we will come back sometime.
Bye bye Tedje en Dinet
In Casa di Giorgio was everything that we needed during our stay. Place is nice and clean, close to the center center. Sylvia and Vincenzo are very nice and helpful:) we enjoyed our stay in Trapani.
We spent wonderful holidays i Tarpani.
Our accommodation was very nice, comfortable and clean. It was fully equipped and we could use two bicycles, which was very good. We had everything that we needed or even more.
We lived among local people,so we felt the atmosphere of Sicilia.
The localization of the apartment was amazing .
Sylvia and Vincenzo are very friendly and helpful people. If you need, they will devote their time to you. We are very grateful to them.
We fully recommend this flat.
The apartment is small and basic, but in good shape and clean.
The owners are very friendly and helpful. The location in the old part of the city is central and only one street away from the boulevard.
Because of the narrowness of the street there is no nice view and you can't see if it's a sunny day or not. You really have to stick your head out of the window to find out. But the fact that the sun can't reach the windows makes that the apartment is nice cool.
There is a sunny terrace on the roof. Nice to sit there in the evening for a drink or meal.
Il nostro soggiorno nella casa vacanza di Sylvia e Vincenzo è stato molto piacevole. L'appartamento si trova in una posizione ottimale per muoversi con bus, traghetti o aliscafi, per andare in spiaggia o per farsi una passeggiata in centro. Tutte queste cose sono a pochi minuti di distanza. Inoltre la casa è dotata di tutto ciò che può servire, è funzionale e estremamente pulita. Sylvia e Vincenzo sono cordiali e disponibili e hanno reso la nostra permanenza ancor più piacevole, dandoci consigli e suggerimenti utili su come muoverci e cosa visitare.
Sylvia and her husband were great hosts, very friendly and helpful.
The appartment is in a great location and in great condition.
I reccomend it to anyone who is going to Sicily!
Thank you for a warm welcome, this apartment has everything we need, is clean, in a very nice place, contact with the owner was very good. We spend here a wonderful time and we'll come back here again :)
Great and cozy holiday house near the sea side, great choice for all sea lovers.

i was lucky enough to be chosen for a spot in jessica shae's summer internship program. 8 other girls from all over the country came to grapevine, texas to be a part of this program. i was the only girl from dallas/ft.worth (and the only one over the age of 20!). these girls were all amazingly talented, and it was so inspiring to be around such gifted people! hopefully, you noticed my blog is looking shiny & new. (although there are a few tweaks still needing to be done!)
rebranding was a part of the internship, and all the graphic design work was done by jessica, and the incredible hannah nicole. this girl is only 16, and so, so talented. i am going to be posting more stories and photos from all our sessions over the next few days, but i'm going to leave you with our group shot. it was such a fabulous week. thanks to jessica and all the other girls!
be sure to check out my new headshots in my about me section. jessica did some for each of us, and they are so gorgeous.

Interesting question, I'd say. Ultimately, the majority of the forum is 16-25 or round about there, yet we're attracted to Penelope Cruz, Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, Dr. Phil and the majority of our friends mums. As we advance through the generations, do you specifically become attracted to more older women, or do you remain attracted to the same people that you are attracted to now? I know your response is going to be 'nobody knows', but that was people's response to the questions that a young Aristotle would pose, or a Gallileo Gallilei would pose to his friends - curiousity never hurt anybody. Perhaps the older members of the forum can enlighten us on a change in their sexual preferences?
I guess this question also extends beyond sexual preferences - it could extend to games also. Largely, we all like Pokémon to at least some extent - but perhaps we like it for different reasons than we did when we were a kid? Or perhaps not - females like it because they find Vulpix etc. cute and furnishing their Pokémon team is akin to decorating their bedrooms. Males like it because of the competition - ultimately, most male will play for the feel of doing something valuable. Before you shrug this off, it's been proven by scientists that females get addicted to games less easily than men. Obviously women can like it because of competition and men can like it because of the thrill similar to decorating their bedroom. But does this competitive urge get stronger, does it stagnate and Pokémon just become a taboo topic of sorts, or does it get weaker and that's the reason for us stopping playing? Many people will swap Pokémon for Golf... is it because of a change in our careers (golf is a good way to socialize with friends and conduct business), or is it because we genuinely change our activity preference from Pokémon to golf? You could say also swap golf with Scrabble and crosswords - is it because when we become older we become boring old coots, or is it because we lose the energy we used to have?
The chief question being - do our brains change? Do they change with old age? Do our desires change, our does society just expect us to be different?
i made this on another forum. thought i'd repost it here

WASHINGTON (AP) — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is joining the parade of ambitious Republicans courting religious conservatives as the early jockeying for the next presidential contest intensifies.
Christie was delivering his first major address to an evangelical conference Friday. That's the second day of the Faith and Freedom Coalition's annual meeting, which brings hundreds of social conservative leaders to Washington each year.
The New Jersey governor is joined on a packed Friday agenda that also includes the GOP's 2012 vice presidential nominee, Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, and tea party firebrand Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky.
Each is weighing a 2016 presidential run. The appearance comes at a critical time for Christie, who is working to recover from a political retribution scandal in his home state.

Fulham boss backs talented youngster for international call-up
19:52 26 April 2012
PA Wire/Press Association Images
Martin Jol believes that if Alex Kacaniklic can handle the Premier League then he is good enough to play for Sweden
Fulham manager Martin Jol has backed winger Alex Kacaniklic to play for Sweden at Euro 2012.
The 20-year-old spent two months on loan at Watford, scoring once in 12 appearances, but his performances saw him recalled and he was drafted in for first-team duties.
Sweden coach Erik Hamren watched the left sided player during Fulham's win at Bolton and Jol believes he can play at international level.
"They saw what he can do, but that was with Watford," the Whites boss said.
"He's got to show what he can do at the highest level.
"I'm sure if he does that he will be involved.
"Normally, if you play in the Premier League you're good enough to play in the Swedish national team."

Clean-up priorities will vary depending upon the kind and seriousness of damage to your home. But assuming major concerns such as structural safety, basement flooding, and electrical and water systems have been addressed, clean-up can begin inside.
Start cleaning your furnishings as soon as possible. Your aim should be to thoroughly dry and clean the house before trying to live in it or have permanent repairs made. Early efforts should include taking furniture, rugs, bedding and clothing outside to dry and prevent mildew.SET PRIORITIES AND KEEP SAFETY IN MIND
As you begin clean-up, focus on accomplishing the most important tasks first. Resist over-exerting yourself.
- Give special attention to cleaning children's toys, cribs, playpens and play equipment. Boil any items a toddler or baby might put in his or her mouth. Discard stuffed toys, water-logged toys and non-cleanable items.
- Keep chemicals used for disinfecting and poisons used for insect and rodent control out of children's reach.
- Wear protective clothing on legs, arms, feet and hands while cleaning up debris.
- Wash exposed skin frequently in purified water. Wear rubber gloves to protect against contamination and skin irritation.
- Try using a pump-up garden sprayer or hose to remove layers of mud from hard surfaces.
- Scrub with a household cleaner/detergent solution and a brush to remove remaining surface oil. Rinse with clean water.
- Wash with a disinfectant, such as chlorine bleach, pine oil or a phenolic product, such as Lysol. Remember, a product is considered to be a "disinfectant" only if it is labeled as such. Rinse well.
- Dry items thoroughly to prevent mildew growth.
- Sanitize dishes, cooking utensils and food preparation areas before using them (see fact sheet, "Disinfecting Dishes, Cookware and Utensils").
- Brush off mold and mildew growth on household items outdoors to prevent scattering of spores in the house.
- Vacuum floors, ceilings and walls to remove mildew. Then wash surfaces with a detergent/household cleaner and water solution.
- Wipe mildew-stained areas with a cloth dampened with a solution of 1 cup of chlorine bleach or rubbing or denatured alcohol to 1 gallon water. Pine-based or phenolic products also work well.
- Use an air conditioner, dehumidifier or heater, if available, to remove moisture. Use fans to circulate air and open all windows.
- Turn on electric lights in closets and leave doors open to dry the dampness and humidity.
- Spray with a fungicide or other mildew preventive product. Read and follow instructions and precautions on product label. Dry thoroughly.

Lillard joins Aldridge as the team's second superstar with Game 1 performance
Lillard assesses first playoff experience
HOUSTON – The Portland Trail Blazers proved on a grand stage that they now have two superstars on its roster.
Damian Lillard joined that select company with LaMarcus Aldridge Sunday night in a 122-120 overtime win over the Houston Rockets in the Toyota Center.
This game had every emotion one could have. It was intense, exhilarating, physical, emotional and so much more. Those two faced every obstacle and overcame it. Portland looked as if they had enough midway in the fourth quarter, but they fought back and shocked the Rockets on national television, stealing Game 1 of this series and taking homecourt advantage away from the Rockets.
[WATCH: Has Lillard earn stripes as a playoff vet?]
Aldridge played out of his mind to go for a franchise playoff high of 46 points and 17 rebounds along with two blocks before fouling out in overtime. His sidekick Lillard scored 31 points, pulled down nine boards and distributed five assists in his playoff debut.
The two were sensational and Lillard took another step towards being one of the true great points guard we have in this game.
"I think if any team losses a player that has 46 and 17 and they go into overtime, they would lose that game," Earl Watson said. "But Dame had momentum and took it over from that point on. He became a superstar tonight."
Before the game, Aldridge never looked as focused as he was going into tonight's contest. He absolutely shredded the Rockets defense and no matter whom they put on him, he ate them up for lunch. He hit his turnaround jumper and slashed to the bucket, making it extremely difficult to figure out his tendencies.
[Dwight Jaynes: The stars are supposed to step up in the playoffs -- and Portland's did]
He even went two-for-two from long distance. The three-time All-Star had it going.
"I still don't think I get the respect that I deserve but they'll see," Aldridge said after tonight's performance. "All I'm about is winning and at the end of the day, I'm good with that."
Wesley Matthews chipped in 16 points, Nicolas Batum had 14 points, and eight rebounds and Robin Lopez contributed six points, eight boards and a block.
[WATCH Stotts: That was a Damian Lillard performance]
Game 2 is Wednesday in Houston. It's official: this series is going to be one heck of a match.
"We haven't done anything yet," Batum said. "I know what it's like to win the first game and then lose the next one badly. One game doesn't win the series. We're not satisfied."
Patrick Beverley sprained his right knee during the game and had to be helped to the locker room. It's his meniscus on that same knee. He will have an MRI Monday morning.
