When the sheriff knocked on her front door the afternoon of Jan. 5, Nina Hedin's stomach dropped and she knew it would be bad news.
Her husband Tom had gone snowmobiling earlier in the day and had not returned home when expected. Normally he checked in with his wife through text messages fairly regularly; this time she had heard nothing from him and had been becoming increasingly worried.
The sheriff confirmed that 33-year-old Tom Hedin had been in a serious snowmobile accident and was being airlifted to Hennepin County Medical Center.
Tom attended St. Francis High School from 1995 though 1998. He served in the Army from 2000 to 2004, where he was a light wheeled vehicle mechanic stationed in Germany with the 272nd MP Company. In 2002 he was reassigned to the 10th Mountain Division and completed a tour in Afghanistan. His hobbies include working on small engines, fixing up the family's 1884 house and spending time outside.
Tom's list of injuries was long and frightening: brain hemmorhage and complications, a fractured orbital (eye) socket, a fractured T6 vertebrae, broken and dislocated right wrist, broken left elbow and fractured upper arm, broken left knee cap with severed tendon and puncture wound, and right knee ligament injury.
Tom had been riding with two friends just west of Glencoe, along the north side of Highway 212. Ahead of the other riders, Tom had ridden up over a hill, not realizing that it was actually a deep drainage ditch. He struck the embankment at high speed and was flung 30 feet from the point of impact. The second rider was also injured, but the third was able to stop before going over and called 911.
Nina said Tom does not remember the accident at all.
A week and a half later, Tom remains hospitalized and is making slow and steady progress, said Nina. He has had knee surgery and arm surgeries, and he is more cognizant with each passing day. He is able to talk, but he is experiencing short-term memory loss and possibly other cognitive issues, although it's unclear whether those are due to the brain injury or the strong pain medication. It will likely take several months for Tom to recover; his fractures will need time to heal. Only time will tell whether Tom will recover fully from the trauma to his brain.
Nina said she and Tom, who have been married for three years and live in Glencoe, are lucky to have a strong support system. She and the couple's two children, three-year-old Jack and seven-month-old June, have moved in with her parents. She has been able to spend six to 10 hours per day at the hospital with babysitting help from both of their families.
The couple's daughter is obviously too young to understand what's happened, and Nina said their son is not old enough to realize just how long his father has been missing. "When he asks about Daddy, we say that he's at the doctor and try to redirect him," she said.
"He is easy going and loves to make others laugh," said Nina. "He just started working for Seneca Foods in Glencoe as a plant mechanic in June of 2012."
Until the accident, Tom's job had been the family's main financial support. And because he had worked for his new employer for only six months, he does not qualify for Family and Medical Leave Act benefits. Mounting medical bills are obviously putting a serious financial strain on the couple.
Those who want to help the Hedins during this difficult time may make a donation at www.giveforward.com/helpfortomhedin.
"It's a cliché," Nina posted on Tom's CaringBridge site, www.caringbridge.org/visit/thomashedin. "You hear it all the time… but you don't really get it until something happens to you and yours. Life as you know it can change in an instant. Hug your kids, your husband, your mom, your dad, your neighbor, your friend. You never, ever know what the next moment might bring."

Main characteristics
|406 (list of all attractions)
|Geology, Visual
|Europe, Sweden, north-western part of Dalarna, Älvdalen Municipality, Fulufjället National Park.
|125 m (?)
|Tallest single drop:
|93 - 95 m (?)
Although some discussions continue, the tallest waterfall in Sweden is Njupeskär. This magnificent natural landmark is the main tourist attraction in Fulufjället National Park.
Waterfall has formed on the rim of Fulufjället - an impressive sandstone plateau in Scandinavian mountains near the border of Norway. Several lakes are located on the plateau and Njupeskär is formed by a stream which flows from Storrörsjön and Lissrörsjön lakes. This stream, Njupån, is short: some kilometres further down it joins the Fuluälven stream.
The power of Njupån stream has eroded the bedrock, the 1,300 - 900 million years old sandstone and diabase, and river below the falls has formed impressive, dark canyon.
Height of falls
The information about the height of falls is contradicting. Earlier sources mention that the total height is 93 m and the tallest plunge is 70 m tall. Lately more and more often appear other figures: total height of falls is 125 m and the tallest plunge (in different sources different) is 70, 78, 93 or 95 m.
The last plunge is the most impressive one by far. Water falls almost vertically, hitting the cliff in the upper third of this plunge. Above this plunge are two other, much lower steps and sections of steep rapids.
Beauty throughout the year
In winter Njupeskär freezes over, and the clear glacial water forms a beautiful blue ice column. It is a desired destination for ice climbers.
In spring the melting water fills the canyon with thundering noise, earth is trembling. Visitors should be careful - avalanches happen sometimes.
Very special time is in the midsummer, when for a few days early in the morning (between 3:00 and 5:00) the rising sun shines on the waterfall. The sight is beautiful - see it here: Rolfsbild.
Fulufjället National Park
Waterfall is popular visitor attraction for some 150 years and in the 1960s there was established smaller protected area around the falls. In 2002 the Fulufjället National Park was founded - it includes the pristine nature of Fulufjället, but the best known tourist attraction still is Njupeskär.
Visitors arrive with cars, leaving them at Naturum (visitor's center) and walk some kilometres through pristine forest. Canyon is rich with flora - eternal fog sustains a comparatively high diversity of mosses, lichens and plants.
Some kilometres to the south, near the upper rim of Fulufjället are found four stone settings - possible cairns from the Iron Age. The beauty of this site was important to prehistoric people as well.
The tallest in Sweden?
There are no strict standards delineating what is waterfall and what is not. Often very steep (but not vertical) sections of mountain streams are considered to be waterfalls. If such landmarks are counted, there are some taller waterfalls in Sweden, e.g. some streams in Norra Storfjället, Västerbotten. But to be frank - such "waterfalls" are visually much less appealing than "true", vertical waterfalls.
Most likely some cliffs in Sweden have also very tall waterfalls, formed by smaller perennial trickles - some of these could be taller than Njupeskär. Nevertheless Njupeskär is the tallest "conclusive" waterfall in Sweden.

Now Open at CityScape: The Arrogant Butcher
You'll be forgiven if you thought that CityScape's latest restaurant, The Arrogant Butcher, was already open to the public. The place has been booked with VIP parties for days.
But, in fact, it officially opens its doors today.
Whether people come out in droves to dine at Sam Fox's new restaurant concept remains to be seen (I ranted about "ShittyScape" last week, and it provoked a lot of responses -- which is a good thing, because it tells me that people give a damn about what's going on Downtown)).
But from the looks of the menu, it's aiming for the dining public's sweet spot: contemporary American cuisine with comforting flourishes (house soft pretzels with provolone fondue; beef short rib stew with green chiles, fried egg, and cornbread; turkey sloppy joes with grilled poblanos and pepperjack), and reasonable prices.

According to Freenode IRC member canadiancow, Google Maps 4.6 has a few icons and UI styling for Android's API level 9 that are indentified with Android 2.3. Just to illustrate, Froyo, being Android 2.2, is correspondent to API level 8, while Donut (Android 1.6) is corespondent to API level 4.
canadiancow decided to change the build.prop file and managed to unveil the new UI styling of Android 2.3. You can see on the pictures below the difference between the two (left – Gingerbread, right – Froyo).
This is a little bit like the Cow Level of Blizzard's Diablo – not a big deal, but still nice to see and a first taste of the Gingerbread flavour. We hope we will see its full capabilities very, very soon.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 1/6/2009 (3005 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Apparently I missed the memo that this was supposed to be poll week.
There are at least three different polls out today or in the last two days about Canada's federal political feelings.
Two things stick out to me from perusing them:
-according to EKOS, more Canadians would vote Liberal than Conservative right now (33.5 to 32.3) but more Canadians think Stephen Harper is a better prime minister than Michael Ignatieff would be (30 to 26). Forty-four per cent said neither of them would be a good prime minister.
-A Strategic Counsel poll found 19 per cent of Canadians would invite Harper over to dinner, compared to 15 per cent who'd invite Ignatieff. But 56 per cent of Canadians would invite not invite either of them.
This is disturbing to me in many ways.
First of all I will never understand how more people would vote Liberal than Conservative but more people like Harper than Ignatieff. The leader of a party is so soundly connected to everything about that party that it doesn't make sense to me to pick the party but not the leader. So that's just an anomaly I don't get.
Secondly, I don't believe anyone who says they would actually turn down the chance to have either of them over for dinner. Seriously, folks. You might think you sound hip to pretend you're too cool for politics and that you'd shun both a sitting prime minister and a potential prime minister from your kitchen table.
But that's just ridiculous. Unless you said no because you'd be too nervous to entertain either of them I just don't believe you. And if you do really think you'd say no, ask yourself why. If you are truly that turned off politics, why wouldn't you jump at the opportunity to bend the ear of someone who actually has some influence in how things work.
Not that this question is realistic because most Canadians wouldn't have the opportunity to invite either of them over. But it's symbolic.
It's like people who say they don't vote because they hate politics, all politicians are crooks, etc.
If the system is that broken it's because too many Canadians are opting out completely. Yes there is a lot of bunk in the political system and the day to day machinations here in Ottawa can be hard to digest. But the only way a democracy improves is if the voters take it upon themselves to force our leaders to be better.
Opting out doesn't do that. It just lets the political games continue to take precedence over public policy.

The 'Ender's Game' actor sparks rumor about Mandarin movie after revealing about reuniting with the crew from 'Iron Man 3' for a top secret project.
Ben Kingsley caused a buzz among Marvel fanboys when he teased about a mystery project he's working on with the studio. His statement quickly leads to speculations that it has something to do with The Mandarin, the villainous role he played in "Iron Man 3" released April this year.
"It's a secret Marvel project. I'm not allowed to say any more, you're going to have to wait and see," he spilled as quoted by Belfast Telegraph. "I was with many members of the crew that were involved with 'Iron Man 3'. It was lovely to see them again. It was great to be with this wonderful family."
Speaking of his experience working with Marvel, the 69-year-old British actor had nothing but praise, "I think they have enormous taste as creative artists." He additionally gushed, "There's nothing lazy or gratuitous about their work. They are at the top of their game, and they're great company to keep."
Kingsley will next be seen in sci-fi action "Ender's Game" alongside Harrison Ford and Viola Davis among others. The film is set to be released in the United States on November 1 this year.

Fresh optimism is building around
As reported in Street Talk yesterday, Conoco won approval last Friday from the federal Environment Department for five to eight wells in three permits near its promising Poseidon and Kronos discoveries in the Browse Basin off the far north-west Australian coast.
Karoon shares added 6.4 per cent to $5.62 yesterday, with drilling in the $500 million to $700 million campaign due to start in October and continue for up to two years.
A week ago the stock was sitting at two-year lows under $5, weighed down by the delays in the Browse campaign and an overhang created by the 13 per cent stake expected to be sold by Talbot Group.
Karoon is still recovering from the failed spin-off of its South American assets in December. Last week's delay in a similar initial public offering for the Brazilian unit of French explorer Perenco confirmed investor concerns about floats of exploration plays that lack the production to provide cash flows.
Still, UBS has an $11.33 price target on Karoon, based on its exploration ventures in Brazil and Peru, as well as in the Browse Basin.
Macquarie Equities has a $10 price target on the stock and a valuation of over $11 per share. The South American assets account for about three-quarters of this valuation, with analyst Adrian Wood less convinced about the worth of the Browse assets.
The Browse acreage held by Conoco and Karoon is estimated to hold up to 15 trillion cubic feet of gas although most analysts assume between 5 and 7 tcf of resources.
Conoco's operating Darwin LNG plant is expected to offer the most cost-effective development despite the 900-kilometre distance that the gas would have to be piped to Darwin.
Houston-based Conoco already holds environmental clearance for up to 10 million tonnes a year of LNG production at Darwin, where capacity is now 3.5 million tonnes a year. An expansion of that plant could be completed more quickly than the new LNG projects sprouting up in Queensland and Western Australia.
The environment department's approval of the drilling campaign comes with stringent conditions, reflecting tougher scrutiny of offshore operators since the 2009 Montara oil spill in the Timor Sea.
These include a ban on refuelling rig and support vessels in darkness, minimising lighting of the rig and vessels, restrictions on the disposal of drill cuttings and requirements for support vessels to respond to any oil spill.
A contract for a drill-rig is expected to be signed in weeks.
Karoon is likely to raise additional capital to help fund the Browse drilling, Macquarie's
Mr Wood said.
The company also expects to seal a deal with a partner in the fourth quarter for its three-well Brazilian exploration campaign, which should kick off in March next year.

CONTRACT discussions between Collingwood and Ben Reid have slowed as the impasse with Travis Cloke - an issue that is having an impact on the player and club - continues.
Reid, an All-Australian centre half-back, is out of contract this year and it has been speculated he could be the one player squeezed out or, more likely, open to a big-money offer from a rival club as the Magpies deal with a tight salary cap.
It's understood Reid wants to remain a Magpie, the club wants to keep him and he is not in the sights of Greater Western Sydney, one of several clubs in need of a key defender.
But providing an adequate deal for a player of Reid's stature looms as a challenge for the Magpies.
It's understood Reid asked for a two-year deal some months ago but the Magpies, who have been preoccupied with several contractual issues, Cloke's the most time consuming, have yet to commit to a timeframe.
Magpies football manager Geoff Walsh last night denied talks had stalled.
''I meet with Paul Connors [Reid's manager] regularly. Paul has a number of our players, including Ben; nothing has been held up,'' he said.
Connors was unavailable for comment. Connors, who has nine Magpies on his books, last week secured midfielder Dayne Beams to a three-year deal believed to be worth about $1.1 million and has also inked new deals for Luke Ball, Jarryd Blair and Steele Sidebottom.
The Magpies believe Connors' strong knowledge of their salary cap could work in the favour of his players and the club.
Coach Nathan Buckley has warned off-contract players the club has little room to manoeuvre under a bulging salary cap next season.
While Cloke has been under the spotlight for his contract demands, offers of $1 million a season from Melbourne and Fremantle, and poor form, the Magpies have also yet to secure deals for Sharrod Wellingham, Harry O'Brien and Tyson Goldsack.
Cloke's management, his father David, and Ralph Carr, did not return calls yesterday.
Cloke, a restricted free agent, is under growing pressure to snap out of his on-field funk, with the likes of retired stars Matthew Lloyd and Matthew Richardson urging him to re-sign as soon as possible in a bid to focus on regaining his form.
Cloke has managed only 35 goals in 16 matches, including just one each in his past two games, against Geelong and Hawthorn. The power forward even endured Bronx cheers from Pie fans when he kicked his lone goal late in the final term against the Hawks on Saturday.
This is in contrast to last season when he booted 69 goals and won All-Australian selection.
Lloyd said Cloke's performance on Saturday was more representative of a player worth $400,000 a season.
Cloke is after a five-year deal with the Magpies but would settle for four if the money was right. He wants more than $800,000 a season to remain with the club.
The Magpies face Greater Western Sydney at Skoda Stadium on Saturday, giving Cloke and fellow key forward Chris Dawes a chance to regain their form.

Scott Downs Tagged With Loss in Athletics-Angels Match
Oakland got 7 innings of work from Tom Milone en route to a 3-1 victory over Los Angeles on Saturday at O.co Coliseum.
The Athletics were a -147 favorite in the win. The combined score dipped UNDER the total, which closed at 8.5.
Tom Milone earned the victory for the Athletics, throwing 7 innings of work, striking out 6, walking 4, and allowing 4 hits and 1 earned run. That effort was supported by 2 RBIs from Derek Norris in the win.
Los Angeles' starting pitcher Garrett Richards worked 5 innings, giving up 3 hits and 0 earned runs while striking out 1 in the loss. They got 1 hit from Collin Cowgill in a losing cause.
The battle of the bats favored Oakland as they had 7 hits, while Los Angeles only had 5.
The game was closed out by Grant Balfour who got the final outs in the victory. He allowed 0 hits, 0 walks and fanned 0 batters to earn the save.

NEW YORK. (Reuters Life!) - Vintage Bordeaux, Champagne and White Burgundies are among the 613 lots of wines, including more than 200 from one client, that will go under the hammer at Christie's auction house this weekend.
Prices of fine wines have fallen since last spring and wine consultant Judy Beardsall believes the April 25 sale could be a good time for collectors.
"These are long, long-term investments," Beardsall, who has built up her business over 20 years, said in an interview.
"Wine collecting is a lot like gardening. At a time like this, it's a chance to turn over the soil in the garden, put down some stock for the next generation," she added.
Lower wine prices have brought out the buyers. Sotheby's auction on Saturday fetched more than $2.9 million, above its presale estimate of $1.8 million to $2.6 million.
"We continue to see many new buyers coming into the market," said Sotheby's Jamie Ritchie, adding that 22 percent of the bidders were new.
Two weeks earlier, Chicago's Hart Davis Hart's sale brought in just under $2.7 million, also surpassing its presale estimates of up to $2.4 million.
"What I look for are fair market values for wine," Beardsall said, adding that lower prices are a good time to buy younger vintages.
Beardsall has more than 200 lots from one client going under the hammer in the Christie's sale. She said her client, whom she described only as a wealthy New York family that has been collecting for more than 20 years, is entertaining less.
"So rather than letting it languish in the cellar, why not let someone else enjoy it?" she explained.
"It comes down to knowing what to buy and when to buy it and where to buy it and how much to pay and when to sell it and where to sell it and which wines to sell," the author of "Sniffing the Cork" explained.
All the wines she has put up for auction are ready to be drunk, including the '96 Latour.
"You could drink it now, but it would be interesting to try a bottle from the case you buy and see if it wouldn't be better just to wait a bit longer. It's ready, but it hasn't peaked by any means," she explained.
Beardsall has weathered other downturns in the wine market, including the 1990s when she said there were great wines at great prices but buyers were too scared to buy.
"It was a tremendous value at that time. So this time, is also an opportunity."
She likens her role to that of an art consultant to a collector. Her advice to clients is simple.
"Buy more than you can possibly drink, and when it comes to maturity, sell some and keep the rest. And with the money from that sale, do the same again."

Things look to be in order for a September 6 debut for Verizon's next, next Android. You know, the one after Motorola's Droid Razr M 4G LTE
– the Samsung Galaxy Stellar. Engadget tells us today that the handset does, in fact, run Android 4.0 and feature a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, an 800×480 display, 4GB storage, 3.2-megapixel camera, and front-facing VGA 1.3-megapixel camera. Not a lot of phone, but not a bad price at $100 either.
If the September 6 is the actual debut of the Galaxy Stellar then we should expect an announcement in the next couple of days. That is assuming Verizon doesn't want to sneak this in under the radar.

Is It True Men Just Want Sex?
A lot of women are conditioned to believe that all men want women for is Sex. Men are the enemy, as they only have one thing on their mind. They want to abuse you and use you, and when they get what they came for, they'll leave. This is not true, well not completely.
It is true that men have an instinct and inborn desire for sex, as women have an instinct to have children, just like the primates who came before us.
It is true that women can manipulate men to want to be in a relationship with them by using sex as a tool. Continue reading…

- The field placement must be a not-for-profit organization, government agency, or court. Students may work in for-profit law firms only if they are assigned exclusively to pro bono matters.
- The extern must be engaged in substantive law-related work
- The extern must be supervised by a licensed attorney (though day-to-day assignments may be handled by others)
- The externship must be unpaid. According to ABA Standards, externs may receive no monetary compensation for their work. They may not receive stipends except to cover limited, out-of-pocket expenses.
- The extern must work on site in the same location as the supervising attorney. Students may not work remotely.
During their study at WCL, students can earn a maximum of six credits for field placements and six credits for seminar/supervision. Students must enroll in at least one seminar credit AND one field credit every time they extern.Supervising Attorney Requirements:
All field placement supervisors must sign an externship field placement contract that describes the responsibilities of the organization and supervising attorney.Approval of Field Placement:
All field placements must be approved by the Externship Program Office. Simply because a field placement is listed in the Externship Database does not mean that it is automatically approved. ALL students externing with a for-profit law firm must speak to a member of the Externship Program staff prior to obtaining approval.
Limited Exception - For Profit Firms:
As a general rule, students may not earn academic credit (externship credit) for legal internships at for-profit firms. Students may earn credit only for internships with not-for-profit firms, courts and government agencies. There is an exception to this rule when students are working exclusively on pro bono matters.
We define pro bono matters as those for which the client is not paying attorney's fees up front (except limited payment for costs). This includes matters for which the firm does not anticipate receiving any fees whatsoever for their services (such as political asylum cases); but also includes:
- matters for the client is paying no fees up front but for which fees may be available at the conclusion of the litigation under fee-shifting statutes and the retainer agreement (includes most civil rights cases); and
- matters for which the client is paying no fees but for which the attorney is paid a minimal amount by a government agency such as court-appointed criminal cases, or IDEA cases.
It does not include contingency fee cases that do not fall under fee-shifting statutes such as personal injury cases.
Please note the following Externship Program policies regarding pro bono work:
- Law firms may not charge clients for the externs' time.
- Law firms may not petition the court for fees for the externs' time.
- Firms may include the time the attorneys spent supervising externs.
- Students may be asked to keep track of their time.
- Firms may list the amount of time spent by the externs in the fee petitions as long as it is disclosed to the court that the externs are not paid and that no fees are sought.
All students earning academic credit must be enrolled in an academic seminar in which the externship is the "text" of the class and student engage in reflection on legal practice, professional identity, specific skills, professionalism, etc.
All field placements must sign a field placement contract in which they agree to provide an orientation, supervision, feedback and mentoring to the student.

Shire plc
Drops After Pulling US Application for Replagal, Move Gives
Sanofi (France)
) a Boost
Shire Plc (SHP) fell in London trading after withdrawing a U.S. application for approval of its Replagal drug for a rare genetic disorder. The Food and Drug Administration, which was scheduled to make a decision on the drug in May, will probably now require additional trials of Replagal before approving it as a treatment for Fabry disease, the Dublin-based company said in a statement late yesterday. "An approval of Replagal for U.S. patients would only be possible in the distant future," Shire said in the statement. The decision won't affect financial forecasts for this year, the company said.

Well known cricketer, Commentator and Television personality Navjyot Singh will be playing a brief but important role in the film and will be shooting for one day for the film, said Hemanth Hegde. And a 60 ft statue of Chaplin will be made by the film's art department to be used for the film.
"It is a full length comedy film which also has some of the sequences pertaining to film making. We thought it best to pay tribute to the greatest film maker and comedy actor Chaplin by showing a 60 ft statue of Chaplin. By this feat we are creating a record of sorts," said Hemanth Hegde and added that the documents pertaining to the statue will be sent to Guinness Book of World Records for their perusal and acceptance.
Diganth, Vishaka Singh, Girija Oak who are playing the lead along with Hemanth Hegde were shooting for the film in the Jungle resorts in Ramnagar when the media met the members of the film unit. The film is being made by Maverick group of Mumbai.
"We are making the statue using easily available materials. I am using many art students trained in art schools and CAVA, a well known art school in the state. I can not say now how much the statue may cost. But it would be a wonderful effort because many budding artists would be involved in the project," says Chethan the art director of the film.
Girija Oak who had acted with Aamir Khan in Taare Zameen Par said that the experience of acting in a Kannada film has been fantastic. "We are still trying to learn Kannada, but I think I will be able to sink my lips to the dialogues in the film much better now," says Girija.
Vishaka Singh, who has already acted in two Hindi films says that experience of shooting of a Kannada film is quite different. "We are really chilling out here. There is no hectic schedule here. We get up early to be available for shoot and by seven we return to our Hotels. We have so much time to do many things. But in Mumbai it is totally different. The shooting here is well planned and everything runs with precision and punctuality," says Vishaka.
Diganth has been seen in many comedy oriented roles these days. "When Hegde said that he is making a comedy film and needed my dates, I had even thought of rejecting the film, but after hearing the amazing script of Hegde, I thought I would have made a costly mistake of rejecting a good film," said Diganth.

Often the schedule of the wedding is out of your hands – the church says you must be out before 2pm, but the reception site can't let you in before 5pm, and so on… These kinds of restrictions leave you with either large gaps of time to fill, or no time at all!
The first step is to talk to your wedding professionals. They have been through this a hundred times before, so they will have suggestions to help with your timeline and planning. Better yet, if you have a wedding planner (and invaluable asset in our book!), have them handle your schedule.
As wedding photographers, we will take as much time as you will give us! The more time your photographer has with you, the better chance of having epic, amazing images. If you don't have lots of time, here are few options:
• Consider seeing each other BEFORE you walk down the aisle.
If you have a tight schedule, this will definitely make the day run much more smoothly. Your photographer and videographer can still make this a special moment by setting up the meeting in a picturesque location and having you come up behind your groom and tap him on the shoulder. You will still get that "moment" when he sees you in your dress for the first time, and the rest of your day can unfold at a much less hurried pace. You can also gather your family to do your formals following this session.
• Have someone designated to gather family for your formals.
Assigning this very important role to a friend or family member will help the formals just fly by! (And lets face it, everyone wants to get to the cocktail hour, right?). Your photographer and videographer don't know what your Aunt Sue looks like, so it will be hard for them to track her down.
• Skip the receiving line.
Receiving lines are a wonderful way to make sure you speak to and thank everyone who came to your wedding, but chances are, you will also make the rounds at your reception – so essentially you will be completing this task twice. Removing this element can save you anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour!
You can have your minister or officiant make an announcement before the end of your ceremony that there will not be a receiving line, and that the happy couple will greet you at the reception, OR to please make their way to the outside of the church for your exit (that is, if you chose to do the bubbles, rice, etc). Logistically this is pretty simple – after the ceremony, make your way down the aisle (please smile for the cameras!) and then duck into a room off to the side or a quiet corner. Your bridal party will follow and they can keep you hidden from guests (if you don't have a room or an area to retreat to) until you are ready to make your grand exit. If you plan on returning to the church for your formals, just duck into your limo for a few moments or find a side entrance to re-enter the church.
There are of course tons of other ways to save time – and if you have any great ideas, please share them in the comments below – we would love to hear from you!

JUDY WOODRUFF: With more than 9 million Latinos expected to vote this fall, John McCain and Barack Obama have stepped up their courtship of this key constituency.
That effort continued today, as the presidential rivals addressed the League of United Latin American Citizens in Washington.
McCain went first and focused primarily on the economy.
SEN. JOHN MCCAIN (R), Ariz.: Small businesses are the job engine of America. And I'll make it easier for them to grow and create more jobs. There are 2 million — 2 million Latino-owned businesses in America, a number that's growing very rapidly, 2 million of them.
The first consideration we should have when debating tax policy is how we can help those companies grow and increase the prosperity of the millions of American families whose economic security depends on their success.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Near the end of his remarks, McCain raised Congress's stalled attempts to pass comprehensive immigration reform last year.
SEN. JOHN MCCAIN: Many Americans, with good cause, didn't believe us when we said we would secure our borders, so we failed in our efforts. We must prove to them that we can and will secure our borders first, while respecting the dignity and rights of citizens and legal residents of the United States of America.
But we must not make the mistake of thinking that our responsibility to meet this challenge will end with that accomplishment. We have economic and humanitarian responsibilities, as well, and they require no less dedication from us in meeting them.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Obama spoke to the Latino group late this afternoon and accused McCain of backing down from the fight over immigration reform.
SEN. BARACK OBAMA (D), Ill.: I want to give Senator McCain credit, because he used to buck his party on immigration. He fought for comprehensive immigration reform. One of the bills that I co-sponsored, he was the lead. I admired him for it.
But when he started running for his party's nomination, he abandoned his courageous stance and said that he wouldn't even support his own legislation if it came up for a vote.
Well, for eight long years, we've had a president who's made all kinds of promises to Latinos on the campaign trail, but failed to live up to them in the White House. And we can't afford that anymore. We need a president who isn't going to walk away from something as important as comprehensive reform when it becomes politically unpopular.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Obama also made a direct plea to those in the crowd, noting their support could be critical in a number of states.
SEN. BARACK OBAMA: But I can't do it on my own. I need your help. This election could well be decided by Latino voters.
Every four years, some of the closest contests take place in Florida, Colorado, and Nevada, and New Mexico. And guess what? Those are all states with Latino populations.
In 2004, 40,000 Latinos who were registered to vote in New Mexico didn't turn out on election day. Senator Kerry lost that state by less than 6,000 votes, 6,000 votes. That's a small fraction of the number of Latinos who aren't even registered to vote in New Mexico today.
So while I know how powerful a community you are, I also know how powerful you could be on November 4th, if you translate your numbers into votes.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Obama and McCain are scheduled to address yet another influential Hispanic group, the National Council of La Raza, this weekend in San Diego.
Candidates looking for Latino vote
JUDY WOODRUFF: For a closer look at the appeals the candidates are making to Hispanics, we turn to two campaign advisers responsible for reaching out to this voting bloc.
Ana Navarro is a co-chair of John McCain's National Hispanic Advisory Council. And former U.S. transportation secretary and former Denver Mayor Federico Pena joins us from Colorado. He serves as Barack Obama's national campaign co-chair.
Thanks to both of you for being with us. Ana Navarro, to you first, first, just in brief, what does Senator McCain believe are the most considerations in this election for Latino voters?
ANA NAVARRO, McCain campaign's National Hispanic Advisory Council: I think a lot of them are the same as they are for any other American. Latinos, like every other American, are concerned about the economy. They're concerned about energy prices. They're concerned about education for their children and national security.
The immigration issue is one issue. And, of course, it affects us very closely. We all know somebody -- we're all either immigrants or know somebody that's an immigrant or that's going through the process.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And why does he think he'd be better on these issues than Senator Obama?
ANA NAVARRO: For the same reason he'd be better for all Americans: Because he's got 25 years of experience of building bipartisan coalitions to get results.
And any of these issues that Latinos and all Americans are facing, whether it be immigration or education, they are complex issues that require very complex answers that are bipartisan in nature. And John McCain has proved all his life that that's what he can do.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Secretary Pena, same questions to you. First of all, in brief, what does Senator Obama believe are the main considerations this year on the minds of Latino voters?
FEDERICO PENA, Obama campaign's national co-chair: Well, they're very similar to all Americans. First is the economy. Higher prices for food, gasoline, health care, just getting by day to day is a major challenge for Latinos.
Secondly, the war in Iraq. We have many, many young men and women, Latinos, who have fought in Iraq, very unpopular war.
Thirdly is energy security, energy prices, health care. And immigration is also an important point, but I would agree that it's not the most important issue for the Hispanic community in the United States.
Defining candidates' positions
JUDY WOODRUFF: And why does Senator Obama think he'd be better on these issues?
FEDERICO PENA: Very simply, he gets it. Let's talk about the economy. He is providing tax relief for middle-income citizens. So if you are a middle-class taxpayer, you get $1,000 tax break. If you're an individual, it's $500.
If you're a senior citizen making less than $50,000 a year, you get no taxes. If you're a homeowner, and you don't itemize on your taxes, you get a certain credit for the interest paid on your home. So in terms of domestic policy, economic issues, he is there.
In terms of health care, he's for universal health care. He believes in reducing the cost of health care for all Americans, very important for the Hispanic community.
And in terms of the war in Iraq, there couldn't be a bigger difference. He will end the war in Iraq, bring our troops home in a methodical way in 12 to 16 months, very important for our families, because Latinos are the most loyal for many, many decades, have served this country for many, many decades, and they want to end this war, also.
For all those reasons, I believe Barack Obama is the person who can best relate to our issues.
JUDY WOODRUFF: And, Ana Navarro, how would you respond to that? I mean, these sound like many of the same issues Americans across the country are thinking about.
ANA NAVARRO: They are the same issues. You know, Latinos live in the same United States and have the same issues.
I think Secretary Pena may have missed the part this weekend about Senator Obama refining his Iraq solution. And hopefully now, when he finally goes down to Iraq and meets with General Petraeus, he might understand what things on the ground are like and may change his mind yet again.
You know, look, Senator McCain has 25 years of experience. He represents a state where the Latinos are a very crucial community. He gets almost 75 percent of the support from Latinos in Arizona. This man has worked with this community, and they know him. Barack Obama is a new face, is a stranger to our community.
JUDY WOODRUFF: How do you respond to that, Secretary Pena?
FEDERICO PENA: Well, Senator Obama is not a stranger to our community, Ana. First of all, he won the Latino vote in Colorado; he won the Latino vote in Illinois; he won the Latino vote in Virginia and Maryland. He's going to do very well.
We're ahead in New Mexico. We're ahead in Colorado. We're ahead in many states around the Southwest. So we're doing quite well.
But since you raise the question of flip-flopping and you made the suggestion that somehow Barack has changed his -- refined his position in Iraq, let's talk about the flip-flopper.
It was Senator McCain who was for comprehensive immigration reform, and now he's not. Now, because he said to his own audience, he listened very carefully to the conservative group of the Republican Party, he now wants border security first. It was Senator McCain who said the tax cuts of President Bush proposed were wrong.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, let's pick up -- well, let me interrupt you there.
FEDERICO PENA: And they were wrong during the war. And now he's for them. So let's be very careful about suggesting that people are changing their positions. I'm happy to take that issue on any time.
Immigration reform in the Senate
JUDY WOODRUFF: And let's take first the point about immigration reform. Senator McCain was one of the principal sponsors of comprehensive immigration reform. He himself said earlier this year that he would not vote for the legislation he earlier advocated. Help us understand why not.
ANA NAVARRO: The legislation is not going to come up again in the same form. And, you know, if you want to talk about immigration, I'm also more than happy to take on the immigration issue.
What was Barack Obama doing last year, while John McCain and Ted Kennedy were leading on immigration? He was voting for poison pill amendments. This was a very fragile and precariously put together agreement, from the left and from the right.
You know, and you had senators like Lindsey Graham or Dianne Feinstein, like Ted Kennedy, like Arlen Specter, meeting every morning to try to make sure that this bill would survive and could go to the floor.
Barack Obama was siding with the unions. He was voting for amendments that were poison pills, things like sun-setting the temporary worker program, things that made it easier for this bill to fail, which it ultimately did.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Secretary Pena?
FEDERICO PENA: Well, if that's true, then why did Senator McCain in the congressional record congratulate and thank Senator Obama for his support of comprehensive immigration reform? If that's true, why did Senator Kennedy in the congressional record congratulate and thank Senator Obama?
If that's true, Ana, why did Senator Mel Martinez, the Republican from Florida, write a personal letter, which I have a copy of, to Senator Obama thanking him for his strong support of immigration reform?
So I don't accept the argument. Your own candidate thanked Senator Obama for his strong support.
But what's more important is that Senator McCain has dramatically changed his position on immigration reform once he was a candidate for president and once he heard from the very conservative wing of the Republican Party, which said, "Please build the wall first, and then you can talk about comprehensive immigration reform."
And that's precisely what he's now said he's going to do as president of the United States. And that's unfortunate.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Let's let Ms. Navarro respond to that.
ANA NAVARRO: Let me remind Secretary Pena that his candidate, Barack Obama, voted for the wall. Let me also remind him that, in order to solve immigration -- in order to solve immigration, it's going to involve Latin America. It's going to involve working with the leaders there and, you know, making it so that Latin Americans don't have to leave their country. Nobody wants to leave their countries.
And you know what? Barack Obama has never so much as set foot in Tijuana, much less anywhere else in Latin America. It's going to be very hard for him to start working now, and knowing, and meeting, and forging relationships with countries and leaders that he's never visited, he's never talked to, he doesn't know about.
Undocumented immigrants in America
JUDY WOODRUFF: Very quickly, I want to ask both of you, and I'll start with you, Ms. Navarro. What does Senator McCain believe should happen to those approximately 12 million undocumented immigrants who are right now in the United States?
ANA NAVARRO: He believes that, after the borders are secure, and that in itself enables for there to be a legalization program.
He thinks that the American public is a very generous people. And that, you know, if they are -- if they regain the confidence that their government is capable of enforcing their border and of making their border secure, then they will be willing to be compassionate, and fair, and generous towards those 12 million who are already here, and are contributing to our economy, and are children of God, as John McCain always calls them.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Secretary Pena, the same question?
FEDERICO PENA: Well, first of all, we have no idea, nor does Senator McCain know what it means to have the borders secure. Does that mean that the Department of Homeland Security must certify to the president that not one person has crossed the border illegally? That's an impossible standard.
What is more important is that, to Senator McCain's credit, he understood years ago that the way to address immigration is through a comprehensive fashion, which included fortifying the border, but also a path to citizenship.
JUDY WOODRUFF: But with regard, quickly, to Senator Obama, his view on those undocumented immigrants?
FEDERICO PENA: He strongly believes that they should have a path to citizenship. He also strongly believes that employers ought to have sanctions imposed upon them.
And he believes in a long-term comprehensive solution so we can finally get our arms around this immigration challenge. And he is a strong supporter of supporting Mexico and its economy, so people don't feel they have to come to the United States in the future.
JUDY WOODRUFF: We're going to have to leave it there. Secretary Federico Pena, thank you.
FEDERICO PENA: Thank you.
JUDY WOODRUFF: Ana Navarro, thank you both. We appreciate it.
ANA NAVARRO: Thank you.

Awesome Plugin / Question about WPML
Thanks a lot for this plugin, both idea an look/feel is great.
I'm currently setting up a multilanguage site using the WPML plugin.
While this plugin is able to scan strings it cannot translate those fixcoded in js.
As a first approach I will edit the js and place both de/en in the same array. However ist would be fine if I could (eg) pass a param to the js to use an array with the current language only.
Or – to use different js for each language, or something else.
Would this be possible in some ways?
Best regards
- The topic 'Awesome Plugin / Question about WPML' is closed to new replies.

The ultimate Duck Dynasty-themed wedding! Willie Robertson surprised Duck Dynasty super-fans Mehgan Cook and Charlie Miller at their Saturday, Aug. 17 wedding. The 41-year-old A&E star made an appearance at the couple's ceremony, which was held inside the Field & Stream store in Cranberry Township, Penn.
Robertson strived to make the bride's wedding was extra special after she suffered a devastating loss four years ago. Cook was engaged to marry the father of her two young children -- but a week before the wedding date, her fiance was killed in a tragic car accident.
Given a second chance at love, Cook met Miller. Sharing a mutual passion for the smash reality show, the pair tied the knot in a special Duck Dynasty-inspired wedding -- where the bride wore a strapless white gown with a camouflage print belt, and the groom donned a camouflage T-shirt, black pants and camo boots.
After the ceremony, Robertson met the couple's adorable 5-month-old son, Jase, who was named after Robertson's older brother, who also stars in the show. Robertson happily obliged with a group photo with the wedding party and signed autographs for fans.
This isn't the first Duck Dynasty wedding Robertson has attending this year. On the Aug. 14 premiere of Season 4, he attended his parents Phil and Kay Robertson's vow renewal ceremony.
After 49 years of marriage, the couple decided to renew their vows so they could finally have a proper ceremony. "You are my best friend, and I love you dearly, and I'm going to be with you for the long haul, until they put me in the ground," Phil said. "Good?" His wife replied, "Perfect."

Lol. Yeah, that's why I always have shitty images and don't have 1/28th the quality of your guys' pictures
Gotta step your game up.
After 6 viruses on my computer each costing $100+ you don't like going to questionable websites
They're fine. No viruses. Just turn on Adblock on Chrome or Firefox, and you'll be fine. You'll get more viruses on Google Images.
Really? I haven't gotten any viruses on google images.
I did find a absolutely great Naruto, Bleach, Fairy Tail and One Piece porn site though. Bleach and Naruto have the best drawers but the Naruto site got a new admin and he doesn't draw that great. I wish the old one would do more :-P
We're nearly 20 posts in on this page and no pics yet. Time to fix that
Yes. less talk, more pics.
Now I use my Wii U's browser for stuff like that. Since then, I've hardly used my laptop.
Lol. My Wii is a bitch, and so is my PS3. Infact all electronics in my life hate me :-P
That's your problem. You're using a "Wii". That console has a terrible web browser. The Wii U's is top notch. The only thing it's missing that would make it perfect is Flash.
I ain't buying so damn ass Wii U! :-P
I don't even like the Wii system, I only brought it because my mom wouldn't let us buy anything else because she didn't want us sitting in front of the TV. But then she heard about how you have to move with the Wii remote and she was on board.
who dat in the first pic?
Who is the artist for these?
Yes, yes it is!
Well, I didn't actually tell you to buy it, ya know.
Well fine!
*Just to defy you I feel like going out and buying a Wii U now*
Oh, noes! Don't do it!
You Irish Folk Singing Bastard! :-P
Not sure if I uploaded these before, but more Sonico is never a bad thing. With a special appearance from Pochaco!
There's such a thing as overly busty
Yes, but none of that has reached that threshold.
I only like these. No fat chicks. Lol, just playin.
I think it has. When the boobs are way to big for the body is where is gets to be too much.
The rest don't look bad but the first picture of her with beers looks like way to much boob size, i'm sorry to say.
A little meat is not a bad thing, dammit! I'm not into fat chicks, but you can't call her fat. (Lol look at me defending a drawing.)
It's because they are being pushed up by the outfit.
I can show you some stuff I have saved that is even worse. I won't, but I could. Remember that. Always remember that.
Lol. I've seen worse, one of which was the teacher from HOTD (facepalm), that girl was WAY too overly busty
I'm pretty sure that if one of the tits are bigger than the head, then that's too big of a titty
Now now, lets not get carried away :-P
*Actually I agree, I just like doing comebacks*
Oh, you mean Shizuka?
Shut yo' mouth fool, she's amazing.
Nah, man. Rev up the motorboat.
A little?
She is cool but her bust size is 1/3 the length of her body, at least.
I still fail to see the issue here.
Not enough pics on this page.
Your mom is the issue!!
I'm sorry, that was horribly un-whitty but yet somehow funny.
The max a bust size can take up of the body is 1/4th, any more then that and its gross, and even that is pushing it. Think of...
That is the perfect bust size and the max that a bust is allowed to take up of the body

WARSAW (Nov. 4)
The French film, "Shoah," widely criticized in Poland for suggesting that a large section of Polish society condoned the Nazis' anti-Jewish wartime policies, will be shown in Poland, the World Jewish Congress reported today.
Polish government spokesman Jerzy Urban confirmed that the close to 10-hour film will be shown, while reiterating that the movie is defamatory and is being used as a pretext to continue the anti-Polish press campaign in France.
"The fact that the film will be shown displays the respect with which Polish public opinion is treated," Urban said. "The policy is to present the facts, to speak frankly on all subjects, and to permit everyone to form their own views," he added.
Meanwhile, in New York, WJC executive director Elan Steinberg disclosed that Edgar Bronfman, WJC president, has accepted an invitation to pay a state visit to Poland in early December.
"Polish Prime Minister Jaruzelski formally extended the invitation on behalf of the government to Mr. Bronfman during their meeting in New York on September 25, and Szymon Szurmiej, director of the Jewish Theater of Warsaw, issued an invitation in the name of the Jewish community," Steinberg explained.

Thursday, 18 July, 2002, 14:04 GMT 15:04 UK
DR Congo-Rwanda peace talks begin
Peace talks between the governments of the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda have opened in the South African capital, Pretoria.
The talks, chaired by the South African Deputy President Jacob Zuma, are aimed at finding a solution to the four year conflict between the countries.
There are more than 30,000 Rwandan troops in DR Congo, according to the BBC's Kinshasa correspondent, Mark Dummett.
The meeting in Pretoria follows talks at the African Union summit in Durban last week between President Joseph Kabila of DR Congo and President Paul Kagame of Rwanda.
The focus of the talks in Durban was the creation of a neutral zone along their border and the presence in this zone of United Nations forces.
Security threatened
No agreement on such a zone was reached in Durban and the governments differ greatly over Rwanda's actions in Dr Congo.
President Kagame says his troops are in eastern DR Congo to ensure Rwanda's security against the threat posed by Rwandan Hutu rebels.
Rwanda accuses the Kinshasa government of supporting the rebels.
Rwandan troops in DR Congo have been involved in fighting in the east of the country in recent weeks.
More than 50,000 people have fled the fighting in the Uvira region between Rwandan troops and their RCD allies on one side and forces of the Banyamulenge, ethnic Tutsis living in DR Congo on the other.
Marathon talks
The Banyamulenge forces were allied to the Rwandans and the RCD, but split from them earlier this year.
The United Nations and international aid agencies have sent a mission to Uvira to evaluate the needs of the local population and the displaced people.
Past attempts to end the suffering have concentrated on finding a consensus between the many Congolese parties.
Marathon talks earlier this year between more than 350 representatives of the government, rebel factions, militias, political parties and civic associations failed to come up with any significant solution, our correspondent says.
The RCD attended the talks but could not reach an agreement with the government.
Diplomatic efforts are now focusing on what is perceived to be the main stumbling block to peace, the presence in eastern Congo of more than 30,000 Rwandan troops and their alliance with the RCD.
When the presidents of Rwanda and DR Congo met in Durban, Rwanda suggested the creation of a buffer zone along the DR Congo eastern border patrolled jointly by Rwandan DR Congo and UN forces.
This has been rejected by President Kabila's government, which wants Rwanda to withdraw its troops immediately.

A call has been issued for Cornish cinephiles to help bring a wider variety of films to the screen in Falmouth.
The Poly is launching an appeal to raise funds for a new projection system, which would allow it to screen the many movies each year which are only produced in digital format.
At the same time, film fans are being offered the opportunity for their names to become part of the fabric of the arts venue itself, by sponsoring a seat in the auditorium.
Lesley Robinson, general manager and film programmer at the Poly, said: "We've got a really old setup and can only screen 35-millimetre old film stock or DVD or Blu-ray. The target is to raise £50,000, to be able to install a state of the art digital system into our cinema so we can screen films that have just been released, lots of other interesting re-releases, and old films that are on digital."
As part of their campaign, the organisation is running a 'sponsor a seat campaign', where for a minimum donation of £150 a supporter can have their or another person's name inscribed on a brass plaque which will be attached to a seat of their choice in the auditorium, and will also be entered into a quarterly draw to win show tickets.
Lesely said: "We've got 180 seats in our auditorium and what we want is a name on the back of every one. At the moment we've got about 20, in the last three weeks we've had about 10 people buying a seat.
"It's a nice commemoration; you've got your name there forever."
Although the cinema will have a new projection system, Lesley stressed that the old 35mm projector will be kept for "special occasions".
The cinema is also now home to the Cornwall Film Festival and there are plenty of collaborations planned, but everything now depends on getting the money for the new system.
As well as the seat sponsorship plan, the Poly is trying to raise money through grant funding, and a proportion of the £1 levy on each ticket, which is largely designed to pay for general upkeep of the building, is being put towards the new equipment. There is also an online funding page at www.nationalfundingscheme.org/RCPS001.

Enum in java
This tutorial consists of introduction to enum in java, java enum example (s), need of enum class in java with enum example. Enum in java or enums in java introduced in J2SE 5 , but what is enum in java? when to use enum in java, how to use enum in java , how to declare enum in java? how to serialize enum in java? how to sort enum in java? how to use java enum constructor ? there are lots of questions isn't it? Lets look at how we can use enum in java. Enum in java are nothing but set of fields with set of fixed constants.
Before enum introduced in java , there were constants defined in the class as follows :
public Class ConstantPool{ public static final int TCP_PORT = 123; public static final int DNS_PORT = 139; public static final int LDAP_PORT = 922; }
In above java example we can see that we need to specify the constants using public static final int. These constant replicate enum like behaviour. But above program looks and easy and okay for a requirement, you must be wondering why we need to use enum in java. There is an answer to it and it is indeed need to be understood.
The approach of defining set of constant values are some serious drawbacks, lets see which are those and enum in java comes for help.
1. Missing type-safety :
First and foremost it is not type-safe. You are allowed to assign any port value which is not actual port value. Thus these constant can allow illegal values.
2. Missing Significant printing
Significant printing of the constant is missing from the way of defining constants using static final scheme. Like when we print the constant it will print the value such as 123 not TCP_PORT.
3. I/O on final static Strings not easy.
For converting values from String to I/O operations is not easy.
4. No behaviour of its own
Constant Strings defined by static and final are only values there is no behaviour associated with it.
Enum in java or enums in java helps in overcoming these limitations.
Enum in Java
Now lets see what is enum in java and how it helps in improving programming. Enum is like a class or an interface which keeps fixed set of constants, which we call as enum constants. Lets see how we can define the Enum constants :
// Java enum example 1.
public enum Ports{ TCP, DNS, LDAP };
In above code snippet we can see that out enum is PORTS and TCP, DNS , LDAP are the constants.
Now if we closely look at the code snippet above we can see that curly braces are like classes and interfaces. Also enum word is used like class or an interface. Naming convention is like a Class and and inter face too.
Enum constants are implicitly static and final. That means you cannot change the constant value again.
Another thing to watch for is if you were using java 1.4 and you have used enum as variable name , it will fail in case of java 1.5.
Now lets see benefits of using enum in java :
1. Unlike using array of Strings , we can use enums as case labels.
2. Enum in java are type safe.
3. If you are using lower version than java 7, then you can use enum in Switch statement.
4. We can easily add additional fields to the enum in java.
5. Enum in java uses its own namespace.
6. We can compare enums easily with ==.
7. Enum in java helps in reducing the bugs in our code. Lets see how if you have different ports but you want to restrict some of the ports such as reserved ports. So when you make constants using enum in java, compiler will restrict you from assigning the different ports other than TCP, DNS and LDAP.
Enum in java are typesafe.
Enum in java uses its own namespace.
Declaration of enum in java :
Enums can be declared as their own separate class or as a class member. First we will see declaring enum in java outside a class :
// Java enum example 2. Declaration of enum in java
enum Ports { TCP, DNS, LDAP } // Declaring enum outside the class. class PortSpec { Ports ports; } public class testPortSpec { public static void main( String[] args ){ PortSpec portSpec = new PortSpec(); portSpec.port = Ports.TCP; // Using enum which is outside the class. } }
In above code we can see that we have declared enum outside the class , but we can see that enum need to be declared with only the public or default modifier like non-inner class.
Enum in java need to be declared with only the public or default modifier.
Java Enum Example 3 : Declaring enum inside the class
class PortSpec { enum Ports { TCP, DNS, LDAP } // Declaring enum inside the class. Ports ports; } public class testPortSpec { public static void main( String[] args ){ PortSpec portSpec = new PortSpec(); portSpec.port = PortSpec. Ports.TCP; // Using enum which is inside the class PortSpec. } }
In above code snippet we have seen that we can use enums inside the class. But syntax for accessing an enum's members depends on where the enum is delared.
Enum constant must not be declared inside a method .
Java Enum Example 4 : Declaring enum inside the class is wrong.
public class testPortSpec { public static void main( String[] args ){ enum Ports { TCP, DNS, LDAP } // Wrong ! PortSpec portSpec = new PortSpec(); portSpec.port = Ports.TCP; // } }
Above code we can see that we cannot declare the enum constant inside the method.
Convention for enum in java :
Common convention is enum constant to be in all UPPERCASE.
So far we seen how to declare the enum constants, but you must be curious to know what gets created when we make an enum in java. In above code snippet as we can see each of the enum declared in Ports is actually instances of Class Ports i.e. TCP is type of Ports like
public static final Ports TCP = new Ports( "TCP", 123 );
Here you can see that it has been declared as static and final which we assume it is a constant.
Now lets see some of the key features of enum in java .
1. Declaring a constructor in enum in java
We can specify value to the enum constant at the time of creation. We can create the constructor to specify the value as shown below :
Java Enum Example 5 : Constructor of enum in java is declared as private
public class Ports{ TCP(123), UDP(345), LDAP(555); public int portNumber; private Ports( int portNumber ){ //Access modifier private this.portNumber = portNumber; } };
In above code, we can see the Constructor of enum in java is declared as private, it must always be private, because any other access modifier can throw compile time error.
Java enum constructor :
Constructor of enum in java should be declared as private.
Also to get the value associated with constant we can add getValue() method which will give
the value associated with it.
2 As we seen above, as constructor is private, we cannot create instance of enum using new operator. So Enum constants can only be created in Enum class itself. The enum constructor is invoked automatically, with the arguments you define after the constant value.
You can also pass more than one argument to the enum constructor in java, similarly overloading of enum constructor is also possible.
3.All enums and enum constant have some built in or predefined methods such as values() and valueOf()
1. Public static EnumType[] values()
This method returns the array of enumeration constants.
2. Public static EnumType valueOf( String str )
This method return enum constant which corresponds to the String passed as an argument.
Java Enum Example 6 : Example of values() method in enum in java.
Ports allPorts[] = Port.values(); // Returns array of enum constants. For( Ports portNumber : allPorts ){ System.out.println( portNumber ); }
Java Enum Example 7 : valueOf( String str ) example of enum in java..
Ports port = Port.valueOf("TCP"); // Returns enum constant for TCP
But what happens when we pass empty value to the valueOf function ? Guess! Right, it throws IllegalArgumentException in enum in java.
Also enum values are case sensitive so make sure you pass correct case parameter with doing trom() to valueOf function.
Ordinal in enum in java:
Ordinal in enum in java means the position in enum declaration. We don't need to assign ordinals manually. These ordinals are self numbered. Ordinal values can be found out by using ordinal() method.
Java Enum Example 8 : Java enum ordinal example
for( Ports portNumber : allPorts ) { System.out.println( portNumber.ordinal() ); }
If we want to get enum constant from the ordinal you can do it as follows :
Java Enum Example 9 : How to get enum constant from the ordinal in enum in java.
Port portNo = Port.values()[ ordinal ];
6. Constants defined inside enum in java are static and final so we can directly compare them using == operator.
Following program demonstrates the use of equality operator in enum in java.
Port tcpPort = Port.TCP; If( tcpPort == Port.TCP ){ System.out.println( "Ports are equal" ); }
8.Enum in Switch statement :
Enum in java can be used as an argument to the Switch statement to be used as a case as we use it in case of int and char type. Before Java 7 we were not using String in Switch case statement. (Java 7 uses String in Switch statement) but for some reason if you are not using java 7 and above then enum makes a great option to be used in Switch statement.
Java Enum Example 9 : java enum switch example
Port portNumber = Port.TCP; switch( portNumber ){ case TCP: System.out.println( "TCP Port Found" ); case LDAP: System.out.println( "LDAP Port Found" ); }
9.Sorting enum in java
Sorting of enums can be done in same way as we do in sorting of array in java. You can create the Comparator object and use it to sort the enum constants in java.
Java Enum Example 10 : Sorting of enum in java
//Using util classes to sort enums import java.util.Arrays; import java.util.Comparator; import static java.lang.System.out; /** * This is an example of sorting or array of enums. * */ public class EnumSortExample { public static void main( String[] args ) { Ports[] portNames = { Ports.TCP, Ports.DNS, Ports.LDAP }; Arrays.sort( portNames ); // default sort for ( Ports portInfo : portNames ) { System.out.println( portInfo + " " + portInfo.getPortUidName() +" "+portInfo.ordinal() ); } // Default sorting is done according to the ordinal //TCP Tcp 0 //DNS Dns 1 //LDAP Ad 2 Arrays.sort( portNames, new PortUidOrder() ); // sort by port uid for ( Ports portInfo : portNames ) { System.out.println( portInfo + " " + portInfo.getPortUidName() +" "+portInfo.ordinal() ); } // displays in Latin name order //LDAP Ad 2 //DNS Dns 1 //TCP Tcp 0 } } /** * Enum for Ports */ enum Ports // { TCP( "Tcp" ), DNS( "Dns" ), LDAP( "Ad" ); final String portUidName; //Field name for storing port Uid name Ports( String uidName ) // Constructor { this.portUidName = uidName; } // GET / SET METHODS String getPortUidName() { return portUidName; } } /** *Creating Comparator class to sort enum by port uid */ class PortUidOrder implements Comparator
{ // Compare function to compare enums public final int compare( Ports a, Ports b ) { return a.portUidName.compareToIgnoreCase( b.portUidName ); // Comparing the enums using compareToIgnoreCase } }
Serialization of java enum
Serialization of java enum means converting java enum to a value which can be either primitive or String to store it easily either in database or file or disk. Deserialization is the process where stored value read back and converted to enum.
Lets see how enum in Java can be serialized :
1. Using user defined value ( Most recommended )
In this approach of serialization and de- serialization user defines one custom value to each enum constant and use toValue() and fromValue() functions to get the constant back. This approach is more dependable as it do not depend upon the ordering of the enum constant or the enum constant itself.
//Following code snippet shows use of toValue() and fromValue() functions public enum Ports { TCP("TCP"), DNS("DNS"), LDAP("AD"), UNKNOWN("UNKNOWN"); private final String value; Ports( String value ) { this.value = value; } // Usiing fromValue method to get the actual port public static Ports fromValue(String value ) { if ( value != null ) { for ( Ports port : values() ) { if (port.value.equals( value )) { return port; } } } //here you can either return default or throw illegal argument exception } public String toValue() { return value; } }
Serialization of enum in java
Ports port = Ports.TCP; String savedPort = port.value(); //Serialization done using value()
De-serialization of enum in java
Ports savedPortEnum = Ports.fromValue( savedPort );
2. Using name() value :
We can use name() method to get the enum constant value. Lets see how we are serializing the enum constant using this approach :
Ports port = Ports.TCP; String savedPort = port.name();
De-serialization of enum in java :
Port savedPortEnum = Ports.valueOf( savedPort );
Overriding toString in enum in java
Sometimes we need custom values for enum constants. To achive this we can use or override toString method. Overriding should be done only when we need more programmer friendly String to be used.
Enum implementing an interface :
1.Enum in java implicitly implements Comparable and Serializable interfaces.
2. But why would an enum implement an interface?
Enum in java don't just provide set of passive constants. They may also have a complex functionality or behaviour.
3. How to implement interface using enum in java?
Lets see how we can implement an interface using java enum.
public enum Ports implements Connectable(){ TCP(123), UDP(345), LDAP(555); public void connect(){ ...... } }
Thus we see in above article some important aspects of enum in java using java enum example (s). Like declaring enum constant in java, built in functions such as values() and valueof(), ordinal in enum, sorting java enums, serialization of java enum. Hope you liked this article about enum in java.

ZZ Top 'Heard It on the X' – Lyrics Uncovered
ZZ Top sing about the powerful Mexican radio stations that exposed the Texas trio to an influential blend of rock, country and blues music in the lyrics for 'Heard it on the X,' from their 1975 album 'Fandango!'
The "X" refers to the opening call letter for radio stations based south of the border, whose "Border Blaster" broadcasts reached deep into the United States because they weren't held to the same wattage limits as their American contemporaries. "Oh, from coast to coast and line to line / In every county there / I'm talkin' about that outlaw X / That was cutting through the air."
These stations also played a much wider and freer range of music, which the still-developing band — Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard — soaked up gratefully. Or, in their words, "Country Jesus / Hillbilly blues / That's where I learned my licks."
The lyrics send a particular tribute to Dr. John R. Brinkley, an American doctor who launched XER-AM in the '30s as a means to promote his male enhancement operations — which reportedly involved transplanted goat glands — all across America until he was shut down in 1939.
The station also featured large chunks of music, and paved the way for others in the decades to follow, including XERF-AM, which helped launch the career of legendary DJ Wolfman Jack. Hence: "We can all thank Doctor B / Who stepped across the line / With lots of watts he took control / The first one of it's kind."
On 'Fandango"s version, Hill and Gibbons share the vocals, finishing each other's thoughts like a rock 'n' roll version of the Beastie Boys. Nowadays, Dusty typically sings 'Heard it on the X' solo in concert, usually after he and Billy silently drive the crowd into a frenzy by crossing their hands across their chests in an "X" pattern.
Final instructions from ZZ Top? "So listen to your radio / Most each and every night / Cause if you don't, you surely won't get the feeling right." To which we'd add, be sure to read our exclusive interview with Billy Gibbons, where he talks about the band's plans for their next studio album.
Watch ZZ Top perform 'Heard It on the X' from the 'Double Down' DVD
