Jetty/Contributor/Editing the Wiki
The Jetty Wiki structure is organized into sections, one tab for each section. The sections are described in the Jetty wiki index. For adding pages to each tab, use the following guidelines:
- Getting Started
- Use the Jetty Starting template. This list should be kept very short, and reference only the important getting started subjects: downloading, installing, running, upgrading.
- Features
- Use the Jetty Feature template. These are also howto-like entries, but the section should contain only headline features like continuations, embedding etc. They should not contain too much detail, but instead link to howtos and/or references.
A feature will always be one feature per page.
- Tutorials
- Use the Jetty Tutorial template. For those in the Upgrade section, use the Jetty Porting template. These are longer entries with worked examples, often starting from something simple, and expanding to more complex examples. Tutorials are not exhaustive in their detail, but can link references for detail.
A tutorial may be multiple pages.
- Howtos
- Use the Jetty Howto template. These are introductory pages to specific feature sets (e.g., clustering, comet, security). The are like short tutorials and probably lack worked examples. They will often cover multiple related subjects, but should not contain too much detail. Instead, link to reference pages.
A howto will always be one howto per page.
- References
- Use the Jetty Reference template. These are detailed single subject pages, e.g., configuration formats, session configuration. etc.
A reference will always be one reference per page.
- Use the Jetty FAQ Section and Jetty FAQ templates. These are like chatty indexes into howtos and references that use the question form to guide the reader. The answers should be short and to the point. Link to howtos and references for the details.
Questions like "Where do I download Jetty?" do not belong in an FAQ; this should be easily discoverable from the site navigation. A good question for the FAQ would be "How do I find out which version of Jetty I am running?".
FAQ page(s) should be broken up into sections, each section getting its own page with multiple questions/answers on each page.
- Troubleshooting
- Use the Jetty FAQ Section and Jetty FAQ templates. These are just like FAQs only about problems. Troubleshooting can be both a top level tab and a FAQ section pointing to the same content.
- Contributors
- Use the Jetty Contributors template. The pages contained here won't have a standard format, but the template contains the appropriate categories, etc.
You must have sufficient edit privileges for the wiki. And make sure you're logged in! We assume that you are familiar with the Mediawiki syntax for formatting text, creating links, etc. If you need a reference, there's a link to "Editing help" at the bottom of each form.
- Decide the title of the page, and the section it should be under.
- Create the new page by going to http://wiki.eclipse.org/Jetty/Section/New_Page_Title, then use the Edit link at the left of that page.
- Look for an applicable template from the list above. If you can't find a suitable template and must write the page from scratch, use the {{Jetty}} template, which will add the navigation tabs, the infobox at the right, and the Jetty category. The Jetty templates all already include the {{Jetty}} template (and thus, navigation). Even better, though, if it looks like you'll be needing it for more than one document, is to create a new template based on the existing templates
- Add any additional categories, by doing [[Category: Category Name]]
Tips, Hints, and Warnings
Other templates
There are a few additional templates that are worth taking note of:
- {{note}}
- a panel that can be used to highlight a quick tip or something important
- {{warn}}
- a panel that can be used to warn of a common pitfall
There are several ways you can prettify formatting:
- To prettify tables, use the "jetty-table" class
{| class="jetty-table" ! header |- | text |}
- For non-tabular data, where you want a word to the left, and its definition to the right, such as above, use definition lists.
- wrap it in a
 if you want it to stretch across the entire page (also the default)
- wrap it in a
 if you expect you will not have long content, and don't want it to sprawl across the entire page
- wrap it in a
 if you want the alignment, but not the borders
; phrase : definition

; phrase : definition
, etc
- If you wish to define additional page-specific CSS, put it in between <css></css> tags.
All pages using a Jetty template or the {{Jetty}} template have the Jetty category. All pages using a Jetty template also have that template name as an additional default category.
To override the Jetty template's category, add a [[Category:...]] in the "category" argument to the template call. To add an additional category (but keeping the Jetty template's default category), add a [[Category:...]] to the bottom of the page, outside the template.
The category tag looks like this:
[[Category:Jetty How To]]
We add a "Jetty" in the category names so that we can automatically get a list of all pages in a category, and put it on that categories tab/index page. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem possible to show only those pages which have a category of Jetty and Other Category Name.
The category names match the template names which, in turn, have their corresponding tab/section.
This page is one big example. View the source code of the page (click the Edit button) to see how template usage in action. The Jetty templates also have #Usage sections, which show you the syntax you need to use the templates. But in general, what you should put on a page is:
{{Jetty Template Name | introduction = Paragraphs of introduction. May contain whitespace, wiki formatting, etc, as long as they don't start with a "|" | (sectionname) = section text | ... (more template-specific sections) | more = * [[Link 1|Text of link 1]] * [[Link 2|Text of link 1]] | category = [[Category: Jetty Howto]] [[Category: Some Other Overriding Category]] (optional) }} [[Category: Additional Category]] (optional)

What Is a "Fifth Column" Anyway?
@RadleyBalko points to a Washington Examiner column in which Jim Kouri, Vice President and Public Information Officer of the National Association of Chiefs of Police, says that Obama administration policy changes with regard to the "global war on terrorism" allow "suspected Fifth Column‐type groups … to make symbolic demands on agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency." He says the Council on American‐Islamic Relations has called on the FBI to confirm or deny that a number of Long Island mosques are under law enforcement surveillance.
It's hard to find the answer to the first question this raises: "So what?" Kouri does not make the case he implies: that something sinister lurks because this group, having a suspicion of something they see as wrongdoing, asks the agency in question whether it's happening or not.
But the piece raised another question for me: "What's a 'Fifth Column,' anyway?" The expression has been around forever, but what does it really mean?
Ahead of the Siege of Madrid in the Spanish Civil War, a general under Francisco Franco claimed that he would take the city with the four columns of troops under his command and a "fifth column" of nationalist sympathizers inside the city.
The city never fell to the nationalists, but fear of this "fifth column" caused the Republican government under Francisco Caballero to abandon Madrid for Valencia and it led to a massacre of nationalist prisoners in Madrid during the ensuing battle.
So a "fifth column" is not so much an insidious group of spies or traitors as it is the threat of such a group which causes the incumbent power to miscalculate and overreact. That doesn't clear up what Kouri is trying to get across, but it does have the air of unintended confession.

I moved closer and told him ijapo then he asked me to get in, inside the car I met two already seated at the back, then one at the front seats with the driver making 4, we became 5 plus me but after a few second of driving a guy from the back alighted, leaving two of us at the back sit, then the guy with me at the back sit told the driver to pack that he wants to drop too. Continue...
And the driver asked, bro! Are you the owner of the Ghana must go filled with dollars at the booth, the guy replied yes and the driver said il drive you to our chairman at the garage, you want to put me in trouble abi? You entered my taxi with such big amount of money without telling me, Immediately I told the driver what right has he got to open a passengers bag, b4 I finished this statement the guy who claimed to own the bag started crying, begging the driver not to expose him , that he works with one Alhaji at Lagos who sells gold and change dollars then Alhaji just died and everyone absconded with what they like, that inside the bag he had 1.5m dollars.
Immediately my guardian angel appear and instructed me to look at the side mirror of both front seat I did, behold the first guy had scar all over his face and the driver's eyeball covered in blood but already healing.
Immediately I shouted with my whole strength "Drop me now!!! he said Aunty you need to follow us, today is our lucky day, this guy will settle us. Again I yelled "I say Drop me now!!!! Then he parked drop me off on motion around oja market and zoomed off. God saved me!

Shine your eyes well, am yet to recover from the shock, glory to God, to my guardian Angel and to my mother who pray ceaselessly day and night for me. We shall not mourn ourselves in the remaining of the year and the years a ahead.🙏🏻

Stanton stars in face of questions about future
Marlins slugger, set to DH and bat fifth for NL, doesn't let trade talk affect play
MINNEAPOLIS -- For Giancarlo Stanton, the trade rumors are just part of his existence -- kind of like the tape-measure home runs he hits.
But unlike the power, which Stanton has worked hard to maintain, the trade talk -- which has started to pop up again in recent days -- is completely out of his control.
So as he was asked about it again and again and again during his All-Star media availability, Stanton was completely unfazed.
"Pretty simple," said Stanton. "Just don't read rumors. Anything important is going to come from your inside circle and you'll know when it's legit."
To this point in his career, nothing has been "legit" enough for Stanton to have to pack his bags and leave Miami.
Yet the 24-year-old Stanton has two more years of arbitration-eligibility left, which leaves an open-ended amount of rumors to come as long as he wears that Marlins uniform.
"That's with a lot of other players, also," Stanton said. "When you're in the arbitration system and don't have a deal or whatever, there's going to be those kind of talks, always, whether you just start or you're a few years down the road. There's nothing I can do about it at the moment. I'm just going to go out and play and worry about things like that when it comes."
Meanwhile, National League pitchers will continue to worry about Stanton's imposing presence in the batter's box. This season, he has 21 homers in 353 at-bats.
"You've got a guy who can hit 700 feet in the batter's box, you kind of feel uncomfortable," said Braves closer Craig Kimbrel.
And even if Stanton has yet to taste playing in a pennant race, he is comfortable being a Marlin until someone tells him he's not anymore.
"You never know, man. You never know what's going to happen," said Stanton. "I'm here now and we're battling and trying to get this spot in the playoffs. I'm not worried about where I am two, three years from now. You don't worry about that stuff."
Of course, fans of teams that could use a big bat like Stanton's will continue to obsess about what it would be like to watch him play every day.
"People do think about it, but I can't," Stanton said. "If I'm thinking about every rumor or everything something said about me, I'd be all over the place. You filter what you need to and you stay on course."
At least on Monday, that course was in the middle of the All-Star spectacle, where Stanton was set to participate in the Gillette Home Run Derby. For Tuesday's game, he was selected by National League manager Mike Matheny to be the designated hitter.
"He's a pretty impressive guy," Matheny said of Stanton. "I think anybody who has had to deal with him and watch the impact he has on the game, an impact he has on the lineup, you have to give a great deal of respect not just on the power ... but the ability he has to turn around the game on one pitch. I'm not sure I've seen a guy since [Mark] McGwire that hits the ball as hard as Stanton does."
Stanton will bat fifth for the NL.
"We're going to help the team and help try to get that home-field advantage, and I'm glad I can start and do that," said Stanton.
And Stanton didn't represent the Marlins by himself. Right-hander Henderson Alvarez was recently added to the roster as an injury replacement.
"Well-deserved also," Stanton said of Alvarez. "It will be good for him, and his family is here and everything, and he'll get to soak up the whole environment and situation, so I'm happy for him."
Like the rest of the Marlins, Alvarez enjoys the possibilities every time Stanton steps to the plate.
"Stanton is a complete player," Alvarez said. "He's the head of our team. He's the No. 1 guy on our team and I'm overjoyed to be out here with him and to share this experience with him."

A good judge of fine houses
By day, her "Malcolm in the Middle" character, Lois, ruled the roost in an unkempt house on a suburban block. But after work, actress Jane Kaczmarek returned to an Italian Renaissance Revival villa in sedate San Marino more in keeping with her role as a judge on "Raising the Bar." Now Kaczmarek and actor Bradley Whitford have put the estate on the market at $6.7 million.
The elegantly appointed 1924 mansion sits on more than an acre of land. Original formal gardens border the back lawn, which leads to a swimming pool, a spa, a secluded guesthouse and additional gardens. The 5,593-square-foot main house and the guesthouse total 6,769 square feet of living space. There are six bedrooms — three family bedrooms, two maids' rooms and one in the guesthouse — plus six bathrooms.
The entry hall features a sweeping staircase, coffered ceilings and an inlaid patterned floor. The library has walls of leaded glass.
Kaczmarek, 54, played a no-nonsense mother raising four boys (five if you count husband Hal) on "Malcolm in the Middle" (2000-06) and judge Judy Kessler on "Raising the Bar" (2008-09).
Whitford, 50, starred as deputy chief staff Josh Lyman on "The West Wing" from 1999 to 2006 and as Danny Tripp on "Studio 60" (2006-07).
The property was purchased in 2004 for $5.9 million.
The listing agents are Richard von Ernst of Sotheby's International Realty, Pasadena, and Kerin Cantwell of Coldwell Banker's San Marino office, according to the Multiple Listing Service.
TV cop adds Venice to beat

Terms of the deal were not available, but similar-sized two-bedroom, two-bathroom units are priced at about $1.1 million. Each unit has a private rooftop deck with ocean and skyline views.
The open floor plan can be customized for McDermott's D26 Productions.
McDermott, 48, is working on the second season of the TNT series. He also starred in the legal drama "The Practice" (1997-2004), for which he won a Golden Globe award.
Charlotte Bjorlin D'Elia and Robert D'Elia, the owners and co-designers of Dogtown Station, handled the transaction.
Director hopes for a bite
Director-producer Marcos Siega and his wife, Lisa, have put their Sunset Strip-area home on the market for $1,985,000.
The post-and-beam Midcentury house has an open beam ceiling, an open floor plan, a remodeled kitchen and walls of windows overlooking a swimming pool, patio and garden. There are four bedrooms, three bathrooms and 2,628 square feet of living space.
In addition to acting as a director and producer on "The Vampire Diaries" (2009-2010), Siega has been a director on "Dexter" (2007-2000) and "Cold Case" (2005-09).
The Siegas are selling because they would like a larger family home.
The listing agents are Alex Lombardo, Angelo Fierro and the Sunset Team of Keller Williams Realty, Hollywood Hills.
Leaving his orbit in Hidden Hills
Actor Beau Bridges and his wife, Wendy, have listed their country English-style home in gated Hidden Hills for $3.25 million.

French doors open off the dining room to a patio. The yard, more than an acre, includes a swimming pool, a north-south tennis court and a greenhouse.
Bridges, 68, stars in the film "My Girlfriend's Boyfriend," scheduled for May release. He was in "Stargate SG-1" (2005-2007), "Stargate: Atlantis" (2005-2006) and "Harts of the West" (1993-1994).
The listing agent is Susan Stark of Gibson International, Los Angeles.

A plan is essential for navigating any path. Your financial plan is vital to helping keep you on track to achieve a lifetime of financial success.
Many people mistakenly believe that a financial plan includes only investing for retirement. While saving for your golden years is an integral component of any financial strategy, you shouldn't forget other fundamental financial plan items: establishing a budget, setting financial goals, investing early and regularly, estate planning, and saving for college.
Establish a Budget
A budget is the key to managing your spending and saving. If you don't follow a budget, you're likely spending more than you realize, and saving less than you could be.
Begin by tracking your spending for a month. The easiest way to do this is by going about your life as usual, writing down every bill you pay and item you buy, from groceries to your daily coffee. At the end of the month, compare what you earned with what you spent. Ask yourself: Were all my expenditures necessary? Did I live within my means? What can I cut out, or at least cut down on?
Next, prioritize your expenses and needs. Obviously, some expenses are fixed, like food, housing, and utilities. But when it comes to your other "needs," figure out what you can do without — but be rational and reasonable. You can't cut out every seemingly unnecessary expense; a luxury-free budget is about as sensible as no budget at all. And completely depriving yourself of all treats could set off a seriously budget-damaging spending spree.
Set Financial Goals
Your budget will be easier to follow if you have financial goals that are important to you. In the short term, you may want to pay off credit card debt, buy a new car, or take a vacation; your long-term goals might include saving for the down payment on a home, retirement, or your children's college tuition.
Once you've identified your goals, give yourself a timeline for achieving them. You'll then know how much of your budget to set aside each month, and the wisest investments to choose.
Review your goals periodically so they're always fresh in your mind. If you go off course, don't get frustrated and give up. Simply reassess and continue working toward your goals.
Save Regularly - Even Small Amounts
Saving early in life is definitely advantageous because your money has more time to compound and grow. But it's never too late to make saving a new habit.
Many people don't believe they have enough money to become savers. But you don't have to save a large amount of money initially, or regularly. It's perfectly fine to start slow and small and stay small while you adjust to your new financial habit. If you're able to, have the money taken directly out of your paycheck — you probably won't even miss it.
Your savings plan should include a strategy for increasing your contributions. After a few months of investing, when you've adjusted to living on less money, boost the amount you're saving up just a percent or two. You can also look for ways to save lump sums of money, such as when you get a bonus, a monetary gift, or your tax refund.
Estate Planning
According to a poll by Gallop©, only 44% of Americans have a last will and testament, and even less have other estate planning documents in place, such as a trust or a power of attorney for financial or health care matters. Many people think they don't have enough money or possessions to worry about; however, an estate plan should be an essential part of any financial plan.
A will is a good place to start. Your will ensures that your assets, such as your possessions, home, other property, savings, and investments, are passed on according to your wishes after your death. If you die without a will — called dying intestate — your assets and possessions will be distributed according to your state's law. Chances are, your state will not share your intentions for dividing up your assets.
Your estate plan should also include a living will, which addresses the health care measures you would or wouldn't like taken if you're ever unable to make such decisions for yourself.
Planning for Your Child's Tuition
Most parents would love to pay for their children's college education, but some may not think they could ever save enough to cover the ever-increasing cost of higher education. Thankfully, the federal and state governments have options for funding your child's education, such as the Coverdell Education Savings Account, education savings plans, or custodial accounts under the Uniform Gift to Minors Act (UGMA) or the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act (UTMA).
If you consciously make college tuition planning part of your financial plan, along with budgeting, estate planning, and saving, you'll stay on the right path toward achieving a lifetime of financial success.

Conrad started a group buy thread here: http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=15541.0
We offer a 2nd Brake Light with Amber or Red Running Lights. The brake light has a micro-flash and then steady red. All is mounted on a metal license plate frame. Instead of wiring for running lights they could be wired as brake lights. We do have an optional support bar that stiffens up the rear fender and lighting (see the yellow arrow).
Looks like a good start on a trailer hitch.
How much are the dash shelves?
In the dash shelf pix, it looks like the black plastic trims are textured. How is that done? Maybe I'm imagining things, but I would like to do something with mine like that, or maybe a carbon fiber treatment.

By Jamie Harvey
Austin, Texas
In its sixth year, Austin, Texas' Fun Fun Fun Fest — an independent and eclectic three-day music festival in the spirit of the city's unofficial indie slogan, "Keep Austin Weird" — moved to Auditorium Shores and proved to be bigger and better than years past. With the city skyline and Town Lake as the backdrop, the festival had already built a media frenzy by the time I arrived on its last day, Nov. 6.
Upon arrival, I had to walk past a wrestling ring, a bar fashioned in Chevrolet El Caminos, a mechanical bull and a skateboard ramp to get to the far end of the festival grounds where the aptly colored and placed Black stage was, and where I'd spend my time with the rock, punk and metal bands.
As I walked up, Nobunny was onstage. Nobunny, the alter ego of Justin Champlin, is kind of like the Lady Gaga of punk music — he dons a rabbit-esque mask and has been known to wear raw meat onstage. As he finished his poppy punk set, I watched the crowd bounce up and down, sure enough just like a rabbit. I walked right up front for Eyehategod, the Southern sludge metal band from New Orleans. I have seen them many times over the past 15 years, and it was odd to see them in daylight. But right before their set began, darkness came over the stage and the sky opened and rained on the crowd for about 10 minutes. This created the perfect setting for EHG's sound — a swampy medley of screams, feedback, and crunching guitar — all with a touch of twang and boogie. Don't let their name, or song titles, scare you. EHG are a necessary staple in Southern metal.
Set List
"Jacka** In The Will Of God"
"White Ni****"
"Sisterf***er (Part I)"
"$30 Bag"
"New Orleans Is The New Vietnam"
"Dixie Whiskey"
Cannibal Corpse
I stayed put for Cannibal Corpse. My first memories of this band were controversial, disgusting album covers that both scared and humored me as a kid. But here I was in the front row for my fourth Cannibal Corpse show. Once you take the time to understand this band, you realize that they don't really take themselves seriously, similar to an over-the- top slasher film. To prove this point, there were quite a few CC kids onstage with their dads, proudly playing air-guitar accompaniment. CC epitomize what it is to be a death metal band to me. It starts with a growling so deep you can't understand the words but instead feel them in your reptilian brain. Then it's the long hair flying everywhere, in sync with the beats, and guitar riffs that squeal in a racket that turns most people off. And it's the riff that defines great death metal like CC — it's infectious like a pop song you can't get out of your head. And lest I forget the drums, another crucial component of death metal. The machine of a drummer whose limbs are engaged in moving in a way that is inconceivable. I'd have to say this was my favorite Cannibal Corpse set I've ever seen because I was in between the madness onstage and the madness of the pit, and that energy was incredible.
Set List
"I Cum Blood"
"Sentenced To Burn"
"Pit Of Zombies"
"F***ed With A Knife"
"The Wretched Spawn"
"Priests Of Sodom"
"Hammer Smashed Face"
"Stripped, Raped And Strangled"
I'd imagine that if I played the game word association with the majority of the population, and I said "extreme metal band," a large percentage of people would respond, "Slayer." And when they said "Slayer," they would probably say it like this: "SLAYYYEEEERRR." Slayer conjures up a whole host of images and ideals when people hear their name, and I'd have to say all of that was at play at Fun Fun Fun Fest.
Ironically, Slayer did not play on the Black stage, but rather the larger Orange stage.
As the curtain dropped to reveal the band about 30 seconds into their recent staple opener, the Best Metal Performance GRAMMY-nominated "World Painted Blood," mosh pits were erupting everywhere, and those who may not have fully understood what it means to stand close to Slayer were sent running for the hills. The crowd was seeing a slightly altered version of the band as Slayer's usual guitarist, Jeff Hanneman, has recently been unable to play due to necrotizing fasciitis, a flesh-eating disease likely caused by a spider bite. Filling in was Gary Holt, guitarist for Bay Area thrash legends Exodus, which gave the band an entirely different vibe.
The only thing more evil-sounding than 1986's "Postmortem" was that of guitarist Kerry King's chains clanking as he walks toward you. "Disciple," which garnered Slayer their first GRAMMY nomination for Best Metal Performance in 2001, was followed by the serial killer-inspired "Dead Skin Mask." Then there was the all-encompassing ominous tone that accompanied vocalist/bassist Tom Araya's whisper chant in "Mandatory Suicide": "Holes burn deep in your chest/Raked by machine gun fire/Screaming skull sent out to die/Living mandatory suicide/Suicide, suicide, suicide, suicide."
For the casual Slayer fan, the one-two punch of "South Of Heaven" and "Raining Blood" always thrills. Most bands would leave it on that note, but while some fans headed back to their cars, Slayer gave the crowd "Black Magic" and "Angel Of Death" as their parting words. Slayer is, and always will be, not like most bands.
Set List
"World Painted Blood"
"Hate Worldwide"
"War Ensemble"
"Psychopathy Red"
"Spirit In Black"
"Dead Skin Mask"
"Hell Awaits"
"Mandatory Suicide"
"Chemical Warfare"
"Silent Scream"
"Seasons In The Abyss"
"South Of Heaven"
"Raining Blood"
"Black Magic"

Dierks Bentley released an uplifting new video for his latest single, "Living."
The new clip, which was directed by longtime collaborator Wes Edwards ("Drunk on a Plane," "Riser"), stars Dierks' five-year-old son, Knox. The father-son tandem do a lot of "living" in the new video, including spending time at the water park, playing in the backyard, singing karaoke, jamming on guitars and much more.
"'Living' certainly celebrates life's big moments and adventures, but for me it's even more about being intentional and present in everyday moments," said Dierks. "Knox is at that age where he can still find the biggest joy in the smallest things, and that childlike appreciation for life is the spirit I wanted to bring to this video to remind us of difference between just being alive and actually 'living.'"
Penned by Dierks, Ross Copperman, Ashley Gorley and Jon Nite, "Living" is the third single from Dierks' 2018 album, Mountain, following back-to-back No. 1 singles "Woman, Amen" and "Burning Man."

I've had paranormal experiences all of my life. Some of these experiences like ghosts, shadow people etc others have experienced. Then there are the experiences I've not been able to find anything written about. I've searched online to no avail. That is when I I decided to join Ghost Village to hopefully find some answers.
I find it helps to write your experiences up while they are still fresh in your mind.
You might post those experiences here to see if someone has answers for you.

Heart attacks can be undiagnosed: Although the most severe symptoms of heart attack are hard to miss, there are varying degrees of severity. It is altogether too common for people to die from undiagnosed heart attack, or from delaying too long to call for emergency help. The prognosis for treatment is far better for patients treated in the early stages of a heart attack. The most common misdiagnoses include heartburn, or other less severe causes of chest pain. See the introduction to heart attack and the symptoms of heart attack.
Heart attacks can be overdiagnosed: Although many people die from heart attacks, there are also many cases where people fear that they have a heart attack, but actually have something milder. Some of the conditions which may be causes of chest pain, causing fear of a heart attack, including an anxiety attack, heartburn, and so on. See the causes of chest pain and the symptoms of heart attack.
Rare heart condition often undiagnosed: The rare heart condition called long QT syndrome can lead to episodes of palpitations and rapid heartbeat. In rare cases, this undiagnosed condition can be fatal. It should be considered for any unexplained heart rhythm abnormality.
Heart attack can be over-diagnosed: Although heart attack is often undiagnosed, leading to fatality, it can also be over-diagnosed. People become concerned that a condition is a heart attack, whereas there are various less dangerous possibilities. After all, there are numerous causes of chest pain. Some of the common conditions where a person may become concerned about a possible heart attack include a panic attack (which often has both chest pain and difficulty breathing), and heartburn/reflux type conditions. Nevertheless, chest pain itself can be a potentially life-threatening symptoms, and needs immediate professional attention.
Blood pressure cuffs misdiagnose hypertension in children: One known misdiagnosis issue with hyperension, arises in relation to the simple equipment used to test blood pressure. The "cuff" around the arm to measure blood pressure can simply be too small to accurately test a child's blood pressure. This can lead to an incorrect diagnosis of a child with hypertension. The problem even has a name unofficially: "small cuff syndrome". See misdiagnosis of hypertension.
Hypertension misdiagnosis common in children: Hypertension is often misdiagnosed in adults (see misdiagnosis of hypertension), but its misdiagnosis is even more likely in children. Some of the symptoms of hypertension that can be overlooked include chest pain, headaches, abdominal pain, etc. See symptoms of hypertension or misdiagnosis of hypertension.
Some of the causes, which may potentially be dangerous or fatal if left undiagnosed, may include:

Vow, The
Within the romantic film genre, there are some good ones and some bad ones, and then there are the ones of Nicholas Sparks, which blatantly tug at the heartstrings to various reactions good and bad. I mistakenly thought The Vow was a Sparks film, but then that would imply there was some sort of care taken to the story that sees the train tracks from a few hundred yards away, but never quite reaches them there.
The film is inspired from true events (and may or may not include spoilers, so proceed accordingly), which I guess translates to 'you're not supposed to mock it as much as you're about to,' but I could be wrong. Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein (He's Just Not That Into You) wrote the screenplay for the film that Michael Sucsy (Grey Gardens) directed. Leo (Channing Tatum, Dear John) and Paige (Rachel McAdams, Wedding Crashers) are a couple who have been married for several years and remain happily in love. One night, their relationship is thrown into turmoil when a truck rear ends them and sends Paige through the window of their car. Both are sent to the hospital, where Leo's wounds are superficial, but Paige's are far deeper. He awakes from what appears to be a medically induced coma and she has no memory of Leo or their relationship together. Before meeting Leo, Paige was an aspiring lawyer and remembers this, along with a previous engagement to Jeremy (Scott Speedman, Underworld), and does not remember her more recent past as a sculptor with Leo. So Leo not only has to try and get Paige to remember her recent memories, but her relationship to him as well.
It is this segment, which encompasses much of the first half of the film, could not have been handled any shoddier. The film alternates between flashing back to the times when Leo and Paige were a couple and Leo's efforts to get Paige to remember that now. This includes a scene where Leo has given Paige some presents while he is standing in the rain, showing off his best puppy dog look. The gifts themselves are funny, more specifically the notes on the gifts are, because the writing on them looks like it would have been done by Tatum, based on their frantic and basic nature. But then you have the present day, where Paige wakes up from her coma and is told the news, but the very next day she is walking around the hospital in the middle of the night, without monitoring by a nurse. It was at this point (just over the 17 minute mark) when my wife walked out of the room, saying "this is bullshit." Little did she know things would get weirder/funnier.
Once Paige is able to, she is taken home by Leo, and is given a surprise Welcome Hom party with dozens of friends. My wife, returning to the room, wonders along with me why an amnesia patient is given a welcome home party where the sensory overload could cuase her brain to explode, albeit remotely. Then you have the next day, when Paige is walking around in Leo's Chicago Cubs hoodie, and says that this is the thing she feels comfortable in. When Leo tells her it is, she suddenly realizes that. So apparently amnesia makes you stupid ALONG with forgetting your memory? OK. Then almost immediately afterwards Paige says "you're the only thing I'm sure about." Don't know how a guy you're told is your husband > clothing sizes, but oh well.
When they transition from the time with Leo to the time Paige spends at her parents getting ready for her, the obstacles are predictable (Paige's Dad stops short of throwing money at Leo to make him go away, but it is implied). When the couple is brought back together to start a relationship again, the chemistry between McAdams and Tatum seems to work, but that is only because the story has gotten to a point where it has to. Maybe if they had decided to put more of a relationship in the first two acts of the film and wasting time on minutia, the third would not be so pointless and dismissed.
Perhaps in more capable hands, the story would have been a more interesting effort, but let's face facts, when you try anything in a movie with a serious intention and the reception turns out to be funny, you have probably misfired. The Vow does this on several occasions, particularly one with about 20 minutes left in the movie that is so embarrassing that I'll let you discover it on your own. Calling this a romantic film is to be kind, call it a bad movie, period.
The Blu-ray Disc:
The Video:
Sony shows The Vow off with an AVC-encoded 2.40:1 high-definition presentation and the results are good. Detail in the foreground and backgrounds are high and in the background the clarity possesses a good amount of depth to it. Black levels are deep and inky and present a good contrast in the film, shadow delineation is solid and in moments where it is called upon, colors and flesh tones are reproduced accurately and do not hold any over saturation. Sony continues to do right with their recent releases on Blu-ray, and this one is no exception.
The Sound:
DTS-HD Master Audio lossless 5.1 surround for the joint, and it gets a workout early, starting from the moment the car crash happens. The low end engages immediately to round out the soundstage and glass is breaking through all of the channels. There is a fair amount of music that also goes through the speakers as well as part of Leo's job as a record producer, and in the club or two that they go through. Quieter scenes are solid and dialogue sounds firmly entrenched in the center channel, directional effects and channel panning are present and sound convincing during the film. All in all, this is an excellent soundtrack.
Sucsy contributes a commentary that for the most part is informative and active. He talks about the real-life origins of the story and the brain condition that came from it. On the production side, he has ample recollection about the shoot both before and during production, including one anecdote where Tatum asked for McAdams' character name to be changed because it was the same as his sister's. Two days before production started (way to go Tates). If you liked the film, it is a worthwhile track. Four deleted scenes (5:56) are forgettable, save for a scene with Tatum acting next to Jessica Lange, who plays Paige's mother in the film. Three featurettes are next, starting with "'Til Death Do They Part" (8:15), a look at the making of the film and someone says that it could be "a contemporary version of Love Story." OK? "Profiles of Love" (9:59) examines Tatum and McAdams and they talk about their allure to the movie, and "Trying to Remember" (10:10) looks at the memory loss from a medical point of view, but also includes thoughts on it by the cast and crew. A second disc gives us a standard definition copy of the film (where the screengrabs originate) and there is a redeemable code for an Ultraviolet streaming/digital copy of the film for your consumption
Final Thoughts:
I almost hope The Vow re-airs for an occasional midnight screening a la Showgirls so people can see it and perversely enjoy the haughtiness of all involved when they first made it. To do so may cause people to set their local cinema on fire though. Technically it does look and sound good, and the extras are decent, so if you want to sit down and slag on a movie for a bit, this may be it, but don't pull anything searching it out.

Dominique Boulay
Independent Business Owner, France
My life changed since I joined Cerule, 2 years ago! After being an IBO for only 4 months, I could make a living out of it ans I discovered financial independence!
My challenge today is to meet and help other people that are interested and motivated to reach the same goals as I did. My motivation is to allow my crew to achieve their goals. Plus, Cerule is a reliable and trustworthy company that uses innovative researches to provide us quality products. These life changing products should be known and shared all around the world. Join us to discover a new lifestyle.
Véronique Oranger
Independent Business Owner, Guadeloupe (France)
I've met Cerule because I trusted the person who told me about this business opportunity. I do not regret at all because since then, I meet people of all ages, all social classes and all backgrounds.
Cerule products are extraordinary. My parents are the first people on whom I have seen the benefits of the products and for nothing in the world they would give up on them.
My best reward is to receive calls from people who thank me saying, I sleep better, I have more energy than I used to, my health is better. Cerule allows me to improve my health, and that of others, but also my financial health.
I thank all the team Cerule both in Martinique, Guadeloupe and Guyana, for their listening skills, patience and humility.
Marie-Joelle Robert Eudaric
Independent Business Owner, Reunion (France)
I made the decision to join Cerule after my visit to Klamath in 2016, it was a momentous decision for me. When I got back home, I started gathering a network to introduce them to this unusual place that I have been to. From the beginning, my small team was already trained and I started quietly my activity at Cerule. I quickly progressed and reached 50k, then100k and in August 2017. I was qualified as President. My goal was not necessarily to aim Chairman but the outcome will be obvious since I reach for excellence. And my IBOs themselves want to achieve higher qualifications and are willing to make progress.
Mark Parsekian
Independent Business Owner, USA
Being involved with Cerule puts me at the forefront of a purpose driven global opportunity with life transforming products that everyone needs.

If there was ever a time where people are looking for hope, inspiration, community and financial opportunity, it is NOW and with Cerule.

Fabrice Nardol
Independent Business Owner, Martinique (France)
I am in my forties and I have more than 16 years of experience in relationship marketing. It is an activity that I keep developing with passion with my wife Madly and our 2 children, Jade and Nolane.
By the time we started Cerule, we were in a transition process. We were seeking for a serious and innovative marketing company, with exclusive products and mainly an honest corporate team. Today through Cerule we have found these values. It is a pride to support the distributors who have trusted me in their progress and to help them achieve their goals. All this way leading to a better physical, relational and financial health.
For me, Cerule is the company of the 21st century. I am able to realize my projects and to live my dreams. I have a lifestyle that I did not know was possible.
Marijke Long
Independent Business Owner, USA
I was born in the Netherlands, and in my late 20th I immigrated to the USA, full of hope for a bright future in this land of endless opportunities. But soon I found myself in so much financial strain that I was about to lose my house, this is when I was introduced to the possibilities of Network Marketing. I was ecstatic to have found a home based business where I could be with my children. I quickly learned how rewarding it was to share products that had given my family increased energy, better sleep, mental focus, and faster recovery. It's a joy to see others experience better health, and financial stability as well! I truly have found my home in Cerule. The products are unsurpassed and the pay plan is excellent!.
Sophie Dufour
Independent Business Owner, Reunion (France)
Making the decision to start to work with Cerule in October 2016 was obvious : the seriousness of the company, the scientific evidence and the quality products were meeting my ethical values. I discovered Relationship Marketing with my mother Marie-Joëlle Robert Eudaric, and I always like it for that it offers the chance to all of us to to live a dream life, and it excites me every day a little bit more.
To my mind, I find this gratifying as much at the relational level with the team work, as with transmissions of humanist values. Since the beginning of this adventure, I have met incredible people and I travelled magical journeys that will remain forever. I invite each distributor to go on with their lives, and to live with us an extraordinary life.
Marita Mason
Independent Business Owner, Australia
I am living an extraordinary life through this business and I love supporting others to do the same. My passion and purpose is to help the people in my team reach their potential and let go all the blocks that limit them. This is really exciting as the business attracts amazing people who are full of love and want to make a difference in the world. The products are beyond sensational so my plan is to just get them out in the world – and my prayer each day is for whoever needs them to be magnetised to my team. The lives being changed helps the business snowball and sometimes I am gobsmacked at how quickly.
Susan Strandberg
Independent Business Owner, USA
I am a Registered Nurse with a Master of Science in Nursing. Stem Cell Nutrition has made a profound difference in my and my family's health. I began my research in Stem Cell Nutrition 12 years, my findings were so profound it changed my original beliefs of Western Medicine. The main reason I started on Cerule's products was because I needed more energy, and my legs hurt from working on the hospital cement floors. After about 10 days my energy went up, my legs no longer hurt. I mostly appreciate the ability to market the health model vs the disease model. I appreciate Cerule's philosophy which is all about relationships! Cerule is a Pay-it-forward company and sharing the products is so exciting! Share because you care…

I think we are all interested in taking control of our financial lives.
I have a good 20+ years on you (I've circled the sun a few times) so you get points for not waiting.
Or, at least not waiting as long as "the other guy/gal" who is living in regret and is stuck there.
Even if you don't get many bites on this thread it appears that you have your attitude lined up.Good luck.
Started this 35 years ago (I'm 75) and used the saved money to buy US saving bonds. Bonds were a good investment then, not so good now.
At your age I would recommend you start out with a Certified financial planner (I used Ameriprise). They will review with you just where you stand financially right now and recommend a plan for the future.The financial planner can advise you on where and how to invest in the various markets.
The other things I would do is take maximum advantage of any 401K type saving plans your employer offers.Also, just force yourself to set aside a certain amount to save each pay period. If you can have it deducted from your paycheck before you receive it , it doesn't hurt as much and you will learn to live without it. I started out at $5:00 a pay period and as my pay increased I moved it up to $25:00. Started this 35 years ago (I'm 75) and used the saved money to buy US saving bonds. Bonds were a good investment then, not so good now.
I agree with all that So you started at ~40, similar to my ~35. Do you regret not starting sooner, like I do?
For sure, although I feel like many are interested but actually do little to nothing about it. I've occasionally tried to bring up the topic with friends, especially those that really need it, but nobody really wants to discuss it. Too much effort. Much easier to poke around on that smart phone, consuming rather than producing. (or at least consuming more than they produce)
Yeah, bonds are safe, but (like CD's) they are pretty useless for investing now and have been for at quite a while... simply because the interest rates have been so low, for such a long time. At age 35, one should certainly be looking at stock mutual funds because there is plenty of time for them to gain value. The key with investing is time- it is more important than anything else (a close second being diversity). The earnings will compound and re-invest, and time will absorb the market instabilities and ensure dollar-cost-averaging with regular purchases (at least once a month, if not more, is good).Like we both said, it is imperative to take advantage of any and all employer-driven pre-tax savings plan, because for each dollar you save/invest, that comes right off your taxable incoming. This not only lowers your annual taxes, it puts MORE money in an investment where it can work for you. When you take the money out when at or near retirement, presumably your income bracket will be much lower... further reducing what you would have had to pay in taxes later. And with such programs there is usually some type of matching... THAT IS FREE MONEY! AND MONEY YOU PAY NO TAX ON NOW! It doesn't get any better than that. So one should do everything possible to take as much advantage of that as possible.
Let me just say once more that I'm 50, not 35 ...
Anyway, I think bonds are great, for my plan, which is to hold a fairly small percentage of them, let's say 10% of invested money.
So on day 1 you put $100 in bonds and $900 in stocks. 2 weeks later the bonds have fallen to $90 and the stocks have risen to maybe $920, so now your mix is at 8% / 92%. And say you have $20 from your paycheck to add to your investments, you would probably put all $10 into the bond fund since it had fallen, and since the $20 would bring your mix up to $100 / $920 which is 9.8% / 90.2% ... very close to your target. This plan forces you to buy low. You would follow this same strategy throughout including retirement: If bonds were below your 10% target then you take your distribution from stocks, and vice versa.
By the way, one of my employees (who is also a friend) is like that. Couldn't be bothered. Wanted to play video games and buy junk. I had to push him hard for YEARS to get him to start saving. Finally, after 5 years, I put together a spreadsheet showing what money he would have if he had just contributed $4000 a year which would get the $2000 employer matching, then compounded everything over those 5 years at a very conservative expectation of 6% APR. I also showed him just the FREE money he threw away by doing it without counting his required $4k. And also showed him how it is NOT $4k coming out of his pay checks because of being pre-tax.He was floored and FINALLY started.
I'm surprised he tolerated you harping on his finances for years. But that's great that his light finally came on.
Most people respond with something like, "Um, yeah, where am I going to get $20/ week to invest? Every dollar is already spent." ... as they use their late model smartphone, frequent Starbucks, eat out, buy appetizers, drink Heineken, etc.
I wouldn't disagree with that. As long as it is a small amount. Bonds just don't earn much of anything, so it is more of a "holding area"
That is a good way of looking at it. One of the HUGE mistakes many people make is to TRANSFER money between funds... (which is, selling one thing to buy something else) that is generally a huge no-no unless you REALLY know what you are doing. Just reallocate where you are putting the money when you buy. Don't sell.
Another important factor is as you get closer to retirement, you will want to skew your investment purchases to be more and more risk-averse (safe/conservative), since there is less time to recover from any market problems).
...Anybody interested?...
A few have touched on investing principales but haven't actually named them. Dollar Cost Averaging [...], just invest something, ignoring trying to buy at the lowest price. It really works.
But don't realign your portfolio every month as the brokers will always take their cut. Yearly is more/less fine.
actually... the ONLY person, that ciuld benefit from all of of this, "wait a minute..."...uhhh...

At some point during a band's evolution there comes a time where they have to make a decision – consciously or not – as to whether they are prepared to dabble with 'mainstream' musical forms, enforce a degree of restraint (or at least rein in self-indulgence) and write songs not only for themselves but other people. This process is sometimes called selling out, or in industry terms 'being commercial': record business speak for making music that will get played on heavily-formatted radio stations. Yes, they rain dross and banality upon us like shit-hail, dispossess us of our right to inspired and inspiring music, and create a musical landscape rife with aural muggings; but what they also do is make the difference between a band remaining relatively anonymous and crossing over into the mass public consciousness. Now I'm not saying that anything which sells well or is in the charts is bad, merely that as an end in itself, making music for conservative masses is a horrific gimp to self-expression.
Time was when The Cooper Temple Clause could be relied on to bring an acerbic slice of machine-gun Valhalla to the table and rend it asunder: a cacophony on the level of XTRMNTR or Fun House that just ripped at the sensibilities of the commercially-minded and austere. In order to lend weight to this statement I will regale you with a true story that goes thusly: shortly after the release of See This Through and Leave, I had a conversation through the window of my 'hot' Peugeot 106 with an elderly lady on a garage forecourt. TCTC soundtracked this brief exchange, which went not unnoticed by my new friend. "Is that the music?" she asked anxiously, fiddling with her hearing aid – presumably to dial out the sonic assault emanating from my fossil-fuelled DJ booth. She was terrified, and rightly so: The Cooper Temple Clause was not spawned to appeal to the near-dead ears of the old and infirm.
I never thought a band that could wither humans through vibrations alone would one day sell-out, and I still don't, though Make This Your Own, TCTC's third album – and first since the departure of Cuban-heeled, spirit-guide bassist Didz – is the product of a band in flux. Like when a tree falls in a forest and so commences a race to fill the new space, the trunk of the Coopers remains, while at the same time they sprout numerous tendrils and branches in a bid to search out new possibilities.
I was aware when I received Make This Your Own that TCTC had already released a couple of overtly commercial, by-numbers singles which had pretty much passed me by, but expected the long-player to shed this doppelganger skin and reveal unto me their true form once more. Sure enough, 'Damage' cracks into life like a classic TCTC track, all grit and aggression. Ben Gautrey's gravely vocal is extremely high in the mix – not a move I'd be inclined to agree with but despite (or maybe because of) this, echoes of it are still puncturing holes in my brain some time later, even, inexplicably, when I get up in the dead of night to answer nature's call. Too much information you may say, but it's about context, the context here being that there are tracks on Make This Your Own that will tear the top of your skull off and sit in your head for days.
In an album that is generally devoid of much of the electronic embellishment we have come to expect from TCTC, next single 'Head' and 'Connect' both divert the album's course away from turbocharged ferocity and into John Carpenter soundtracks; though sonically familiar, they navigate heroically through 'China Girl'-era Bowie. It's eclectic stuff, and while nodding its head knowingly in the direction of familiar cairns and musical waypoints, is a far cry from the turgid hash that commonly comes our way.
Few bands set out to make tepid music. For some it happens inversely (see Radiohead), with each successive release seeing a retreat from mass appeal; for others it can be a maturing, or a plank-walk at the behest of a master who holds the purse strings. It may even be a last desperate bid to salvage something from the fading embers of a 'career' gone awry. Operating on the fringes rarely brings wide-ranging recognition, though it may alert the cunning and more savvy to the possibility of watering a formula down to just the right degree that an approximation can make the nut.
In TCTC's case I don't know what it is, but on Make This Your Own they have definitely compromised some of their old traits in a bid to broaden their appeal. You need look no further than last single, 'Waiting Game', to hear this: it's is a blatant grab for a market hitherto untapped. You can't really hold it against them – a token feel down the front of Snow Patrol's pants – but it just seems a bit beneath them and, well… crap. Similarly, 'Isn't It Strange' treads a tame Killers-esque path into a self induced dead-end. It's aimless and certainly not better than many bands who've fashioned much deadlier weapons with similar tools. Making a couple of chart-worthy tracks to help shift a few extra albums is no crime, and it certainly doesn't stop experimentation elsewhere on the album, but unless such a move is sincere and comes not from the desire to sell pop music but to make pop music, it really does tell.
Other than maybe three songs which scream of obvious chart-plundering, there is a whole lot here to love. 'Take Comfort' makes for a sweet counterpoint to much of the heavier material and is an unexpected joy: simple but more dainty and striking than we might've thought them capable of. The chorus intones, "I will laugh and I will cry / But I'll take comfort in the fact that some day I shall die" – which might sound trite in words but takes on a country-tinged dignity 'on wax'. 'All I See Is You' is a schizophrenic and sprawling monster that starts with a menacing synth-throb and ends with a guitar-soaked panic attack, while closer 'House of Cards' is a less menacing 'Murder Song' with the creeping dark exchanged for soul and regret: "This house is in pieces / I never saw it falling / It was such a beautiful thing".
With vocal duties chopping and changing, whilst at the same time assuming a variety of different and sometimes directionless shades, it seems that the lengthy gestation period of Make This Your Own has wrought some havoc with continuity. It's immediately obvious that it wasn't thrashed out in the studio over a couple of weeks. Be it the result of an extensive musical palette or a nod to the download world where growing importance is placed on individual tracks at the expense of a cohesive body of work, Make This Your Own does not demand a great deal of perseverance and can be delved in and out of according to mood. It's almost certain that you won't listen to the whole thing through in the same fevered way you would, say, Arcade Fire, or even the band's own previous albums. That said, TCTC have always embraced a wide range of ideas and this is not a disposable whimsy; more a collection of largely impressive songs – including a few of their finest to date – that just hang together a little loosely.
Make This Your Own is unfocussed and over-polished, maybe, but it's enough to keep us satiated for the time being. They can, and will, be better. But for now, this is enough.

Most advisors use Windows-based machines in their offices to do everything from customer relationship management to financial planning, but two recent announcements by partners to advisors show that Apple is gaining a presence among advisors beyond placing AAPL into client portfolios.
MFS Investment Management said it has launched a iPad application for use by its U.S. wholesalers while its website, mfs.com, has been optimized to work with iPads and iPhones.
Like other mutual fund wholesalers, MFS' wholesalers can now share documents and build presentations on iPads with advisors away from their desktop machines, and link to third-party analytics to perform due diligence on MFS mutual funds.
Laserfiche, the international document management software firm, now offers its Laserfiche Mobile users the ability to use an iPhone's onboard camera (or an iPad's, for that matter, though fewer iPad owners use its camera) to take photographs of documents. Those photographed documents are converted into images that are securely placed into the advisor or broker-dealer's document repository in the same way that an iPhone user would email a photo.
Once in the repository, an advisor can use Laserfiche Mobile for iPad to view that photographed document immediately, or have other authorized LaserFiche users view that document. Then, using Laserfiche Mobile's Document Viewer, the advisor or compliance officer can email, print or rename the document, all while using an interface familiar to iPhone users.
The process, as demonstrated by Laserfiche engineer Brett Hickinbotham in an interview Monday in New York, shows how simple and intuitive Laserfiche has made the process of uploading and managing documents using an iPhone and iPad.

When cellular network operators aren't trying to find new and interesting things to charge for they are making sure that they don't have to wait until the end of the month to get their money.
On Friday a mailing list for people working in Public Relations was buzzing with stories of calls from Vodafone with demands that customers make an interim payment on their bill or risk disconnection. In one case payment was demanded within three hours.
It seems that when people have exceeded their "monthly allowance" then an interim payment is demanded; except that people have never been informed of their "monthly allowance", nor does it exist in any contract or clause.
Such behaviour is not limited to cellular companies: Telewest left a voice mail with one poor customer and, when he didn't respond for a day or two, they suspended all international calls pending his paying the bill up to that point.
Call us old-fashioned but we always thought that "pay monthly" meant paying every month, not just "pony up when the company feels like asking". Perhaps someone working for Vodafone might like to ask for an interim wage payment half way through the month?
All ended well for the PR people who complained to the mailing list; they got apologies from Vodafone (who obviously read the list) and offers of nice shiny phones and contracts.
But we have to wonder if they would have been so well treated if they weren't in PR, so do let us know if you've received the call, or ever found out what your "monthly allowance" is.®

When coding, I naturally often come up with classes or a set of classes with a high reusability. I'm looking for an easy, straight-forward way to work on them separately. I'd like to be able to easily integrate them into any project; it also should be possible to switch to a different version with as few commands as possible.
Am I right with the assumption that git (or another VCS) is best suited for this? I thought of setting up local repositories for each class/project/library/plugin and then just cloning/pulling them. It would be great if I could reference those projects by name, not by the full path. Like
git clone someproject.
edit: To clarify, I know what VCS are about and I do use them. I'm just looking for a comfortable way to store and edit some reusable pieces of code (including unit tests) separately and to be able to include them (without the unit tests) in other projects, without having to manually copy files. Apache Maven is a good example, but I'm looking for a language-independent solution, optimally command-line-based.

There's a brand new trailer for Tom Cruise's last man on Earth movie Oblivion. This trailer is a bit longer and shows Tommy C. goofing around with cigar-smoking Morgan Freeman and the most beautiful woman to ever be jettisoned out of an escape tube. Does anyone else feel like this whole thing is all the dramatic parts of a futuristic action video game tied together by flashy touch screens? Not that that's a bad thing. Here's the official run down.
A court martial sends a veteran soldier to a distant planet, where he has to destroy the remains of an alien race. The arrival of an unexpected traveler causes him to question what he knows about the planet, his mission, and himself.
Oblivion in theaters on April 19th. But will you go?

The article brings modifications to the author's study of 1957 (Münchner Jahrbuch der bild. Kunst) taking into account research done since then on the subject, especially studies by Christian Tumpel. It appears that the basic source of Rembrandt's imagery was the rich reper-tory of pictorial narrative produced by the German and Netherlandish graphic art of the 16th and the late 17th centuries. By relating several works of Rembrandt to their visual sources their actual subjects can be established. They often were created by the process of selection from large historical compositions, as Tumpel has shown.
Rembrandt concentrated however on such themes through which basic human emotional and ethical frames of mind could be expressed, and which were called in the 1957 study «encompassing themes» (Rahmenthemen). Problems of iconographic categories especially of genre versus history and allegory in Rembrandt's art are further discussed.
Although Rembrandt shared with his contemporaries the common emblematic language of signs, in his late works a silent expression of human feelings and thoughts is achieved.
Rembrandt's frequent and sympathizing rendering of beggars is contrasted to a tradi-tional, unfriendly attitude. The theme of the socially marginal figure (also found, for instance in the Prodigal Son and the Eastern Jew) may have had a psychological attraction for a master whose personality is here considered as having been more complex than is generally thought.
Rembrandt's Aristotle Contemplating the Bust of Homer (New York, Metropolitan Museum of Art) is considered as an essay by Rembrandt on the philosophical value of looking at a work of art. The article surveys philosophical theories upholding the value of contem-plating art from Aristotle through Comenius, as well as the philosophical implications of Rembrandt's own encyclopedic collection. Aristotle's golden chain is interpreted as a symbol of contemplative philosophy.
The figure on the left has long been recognized as Raphael himself. The second man was called variously Pontormo and Pordenone as early as the 17th century and has recently been claimed to be Raphael's friend, Giovanni Battista Branconio dell'Aquila. But the present writer opposes this on the ground that Branconio was Raphael's junior by ten years.
Instead he proposes the young Pietro Aretino on the strength of resemblance to Marcanto-nio's print of him in the 1520s (the famous Titian portraits date from the 1540s by which time Aretino was much changed). In 1517–1520 Aretino was living with Raphael's patron, Agostino Chigi. It is now suggested that the portrait was a present to Chigi, to whom, as recipient, the second figure in the portrait is pointing.
The article deals with meaning in Giovanni Bellini's so-called Sacred Allegory in the Gallerie degli Uffizi, Florence. Previous attempts at explaining meaning in the painting have been iconographical and have largely ignored the meaning and poetry of its form, hence distorting the picture's value. The author's descriptive evocation of poetry in Bellini's work demon-strates that its form and its meaning are inseparable. Attention is also given to previous criti-cism, other than iconographical, of Bellini's work.
Tintoretto's love of music mentioned since Vasari's time, has never actually been proven, even though «auditive» elements in his works are ever present. The reattribution of The Concert of the Muses (with the miniature scene of the metamorphosis of the Pierids) in the Munich State Collections and the evidence of a single example of a legible score – a «canzonetta» from 1573 by the composer Giovan Ferretti – in the Sextet of Nymphs in Dresden, permits us to analyze the musical horizon of Jacopo, the represented instruments (and even some which Tintoretto has been said to have «invented» himself), his hypothetical familiarity with melomanic Venice, his own musical ability and theoretical background.
The new dating post quem of the programmatic Musica in Dresden (about twenty years later than commonly accepted) – the painting perhaps reflects the friendship and spiritual in-fluence of the great music-theoretician Gioseffo Zarlino – may bring certain changes in the still imprecise dating of many of his major works.
The article deals with Dali's Metamorphosis of Narcissus in a new light tracing its novelty by comparing it to both previous pictures and literary sources. Both Dali's picture and poem were influenced by alchemical sources. Various sources for the egg are found in Maierus' Atalanta Fugiens, 1618, as well as for other elements such as the hermaphrodite. The article also relates the themes to Dali's autobiography: both to his brother's death and his own cure through Gala. The opening of the head from which the flower sprouts is shown to be a continuation of therapy. A seventeenth century tradition of cure (Bosch's Cure of Folly) seems to have been in the background to Dali's version. It is both in the picture and in the poem that the alchemical and the autobiographical meet.
The Moving of the Warburg Library to Great Britain and the Beginnings of Art History as a University Discipline There
Aby M. Warburg (1866–1929), the famous art historian, critic and great promotor of cultural history collected a unique research library which became a semi-official part of the newly founded University of Hamburg called «Kulturwissenschaftliche Bibliothek Warburg» in 1920. At the end of 1933 the library and its staff left Germany in order to prevent the Nazis from destroying this Jewish foundation. Great Britain gave home to it and at the end of 1944 London University incorporated the library now named The Warburg Institute. The Warburg Institute has efficiently helped to promote art history as an academic discipline in Great Brit-ain though its actual aims are of an interdisciplinary nature and go far beyond art history and this has been the case since the days of Warburg. Not only art history but also the American artist R. B. Kitaj living in Great Britain for many years has been deeply influenced by War-burg and Warburgian studies.
The Avant-Gardes
What we call avant-garde can be looked at from two different angles. As institutions, the avantgardes are characterized by their bellicose combativeness, their elitarian intransigence, their disdain of the contemporary state of things, their recovery of remote traditions, their obsession with posters, dates, all converging on the same utopian goal – to abolish the abyss separating art from life. Looked on as a way of thinking, they lean toward a scientific-like and revolutionary-like standpoint, foreseeing the eventual self-extermination of art – positive for some (Strzemiński), or negative for others (Witkiewicz). What pulls these two opposing utopias together is the persuasion that historical development is predetermined, linear and irre-versible. Nowadays their role is restricted to a defensive one against the wave of pseudo-avant-garde latecomers.

Retreat at Maxwell Hill, Taiping
>> Monday, December 31, 2007
Ah, it has been really long since I actually went for a good retreat. This time around, a few church friends & I went up to Maxwell Hill (Bukit Larut) in Taiping :) We were there for only 2 days 1 night (29-30 December 2007) as I can't take leave on the 31st of December...bah.The journey from KL to Taiping wasn't too long. We were pretty much excited cos it was the first time that this group is out for a retreat together...heehee... I can't recall why we we ended up with Maxwell Hill...hmm...but we sure enjoyed our short little break there ;)
There were 8 of us in total, 3 guys & 5 girls (we went in 2 cars). Thanks to a friend in Taiping, David, we got everything arranged for us nicely & all we had to do was just to pay & have fun! Hahaha... :lol: We stayed at The Nest, a bungalow situated right at the top of yet another 'hill'. The hike up to that bungalow was pretty tough as we had our bags & all, but it was enjoyable indeed. Heh.
Well, to cut the story short, the few activities that we had up there were sharing, worship, prayer, makan, UNO card game, & definitely a time of catching up (since we basically meet up only once a year when everyone comes back from overseas). We also went around Taiping town on our 2nd day for makan, makan, & more makan in the 2hours that we had before we left for KL again.
I reckon pictures will speak for itself ;) (though I didn't take that many with my camera this time around...) I would highly recommend this place if any of you would want a quiet & serene place to relax & shy away from the busy city life.
How our room looks like + the guys (Jinn, Nick, Chris)
Lunch Day 1 at The Nest
After lunch, we went for a walk... (L-R: Gloria, Nick, Yith, Jes, Chris, Hsu)
This was something that I found interesting...I like the formation of the leaves :P Ferns!
The evening sky on Day 1
Dinner Day 1 at The Nest- steamboat! Yummilicious! Food at The Nest is GOOD! :lol: The home-made fried beancurd items were exceptionally delicious! :P
Group photos taken on Day2 at The Nest
2nd best cendol in Taiping town- Bismillah Cendol
Somehow I feel that the cendol ain't that nice although the place is pretty packed. I much prefer the one that I had in Kuantan...hahaha...I'm yet to find the most delicious cendol, but frankly speaking, I'm not a great fan of cendol, so it won't be my priority to hunt for the nest cendol after all! ;)
I reckon this will be the last post from us for the year 2007. The year has been an exciting one, with loads of events, adventures, & transitions (from uni life to work life) for both Anne & myself. We hope that our dear readers will stay tuned as we continue on our journey for more food, fun, friendship, & adventures!
PerutBesi would like to wish all its readers a very Happy New Year & a great year ahead!!
