Applets are back!
It's time to take another look at Java applet technology for delivering your programs over the web. The Next-Generation Java Plug-in Technology runs applets in a different, more efficient and more reliable way than ever before. Now you can reap the following benefits:
The next-generation Java Plug-in offers a completely redesigned architecture, and is available in the Java SE 6 Update 10. This plug-in provides powerful new capabilities to applets in the web browser, while improving the overall reliability and functionality of applets in a backward-compatible manner.
The most significant new feature of the next-generation Java Plug-in is built-in support for launching applets from JNLP files. Using the JNLP file format as the applet descriptor allows applets to instantly reuse JNLP extensions previously written for Java Web Start applications, and significantly expands the capabilities of applets in many other ways.
The new way of executing applets has architectural similarities to Java Web Start technology, but tighter browser integration. Applets no longer execute in a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) inside the web browser. Instead, a separate JVM machine process is launched to execute applets. By default, only one JVM machine is launched, but you have the opportunity to launch more than one JVM machine, and you get support per-applet command-line arguments, so you can affect heap size or other requests.
In Figure 1 above, the clouds represent JVM instances. There is a small, headless JVM inside the browser that is used to manage the connections to one or more client JVMs that actually run the applets. In the diagram the Dukes represent applets. One JVM instance is running two applets and the other is running one.
Applets launch directly from JNLP files, make use of the same descriptor used by Java Web Start software, and allow more powerful parameters than the classic "archive", "code", and "cache_archive" parameters.
The new plug-in provides:
Now, you use something like the following on the web page:
<applet width="500" height="500"> <param name="jnlp_href" value="my_applet.jnlp"> </applet>
Calls to the applet lifecycle methods
stop, and
destroy are more deterministic, and cross-browser behavior has been improved. The applet class loader cache and the legacy applet lifecycle, required for backward compatibility, are fully supported and the behavior of both has been improved.
The applet behaves exactly like an application started with Java Web Start software.
jnlp_href parameter bridges between the web page and the JNLP description of the applet. Applet tag and JNLP file have overlapping mechanisms for specifying things like the width and height.
In general you should use the Deployment Toolkit, also new in Java SE 6 Update 10, to automatically generate the HTML for the applet tag. The deployment advice guide shows how to easily and portably deploy applets using the Deployment Toolkit.
Now, it's also much easier to configure applets in several areas, including heap size, the Java version that needs to be used, classloader cache, borders, and more.
<applet> tag and the JNLP file have overlapping mechanisms for specifying certain parameters. These conflicts are resolved as follows:
<applet> tag and not from the JNLP file. The assumption is that the browser knows best how big the applet should be on the web page, and only the browser can support page-relative width and height (for example, width="50%").
<jnlp> tag, then that is used. Otherwise, it is composed using the rules described in the codebase handling section.
jnlp_href parameter is specified, the applet's main class name is taken from the
main-class parameter to the
applet-desc tag in the JNLP file, and the code attribute is ignored. Note that this feature allows you to write one applet tag which has a fallback case for the classic Java Plug-in, but which enables more advanced functionality with the new Java Plug-in. See the "Compatibility" section below.
<param> tag are merged with those specified in the JNLP file. If the same parameter is specified through both the
<applet> tag and the JNLP file, the
<applet> tag's version overrides the JNLP file's version, except for the
java_arguments and
java_version parameters.
java_arguments and
java_version parameters are unnecessary in JNLP applets. The mechanisms in the JNLP file for requesting a JRE version, or passing command-line arguments to the JVM, are used instead. Command-line arguments and JRE version requests from the JNLP file override those specified in the HTML for the applet.
In the past, the maximum heap size that could be specified for applets through the Java Control Panel was limited. This limitation is fixed in the new Java Plug-in, and applets can now utilize as much heap space as command-line applications.
<APPLET archive="my_applet.jar" code="MyApplet" width="300" height="300"> <PARAM name="java_arguments" value="-Xmx128m"> </APPLET>
<APPLET archive="my_applet.jar" code="MyApplet" width="300" height="300"> <PARAM name="java_arguments" value="-Xmx256m -Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true"> </APPLET>
An applet may force itself into its own JVM machine instance separate from all other applets if you like:
<param name="separate_jvm" value="true" />
This is useful when migrating certain kinds of desktop applications to work in the web browser.
You can also run a particular applet on a particular version of the JRE, as shown below:
<j2se version="1.4+" ...> <j2se version="1.5*" ...>
This approach is useful for enterprises that want to QA an applet against a particular JRE version, or the applet supersedes earlier version selection mechanisms like CLSID in Internet Explorer. If a very old JRE version is requested, restrictions are enforced and the user will be prompted if the applet attempts to load unsigned code.
Note that since JNLP support is first available in Java Plug-in in the Java Platform, Standard Edition 6 (Java SE 6) Update 10, version specifications like
"1.4+" are basically meaningless. This will have more meaning when
"1.7+" is needed.
In addition, you can use the <update> tag in the JNLP file to drastically reduce startup time for second and subsequent launches:
<update check="background">
In this case, it will use the version of the applet that is already in the cache, and downloads updated versions of the applet in the background. At the next launch, the new version is picked up.
The new plug-in also offers better customization of the image, which is displayed before the applet is loaded. Animated GIFs are now supported as the target of the image parameter, as described in the Special Attributes section of the Java Plug-in Developers' Guide. Additionally, the following new parameters are now supported:
A boolean parameter indicating whether a one-pixel border should be drawn around the edge of the applet's area while displaying the image shown before the applet is loaded. Defaults to true. We recommend setting this value to
false, in particular when using an animated GIF as the loading image, to avoid the possibility of flicker.
A boolean parameter indicating whether the loading image should be centered within the area of the applet instead of originating at the upper left corner. Defaults to
Example using the boxborder and centerimage parameters:
<APPLET archive="large_archive.jar" code="MyApplet" width="300" height="300">  <PARAM NAME="image" VALUE="animated_gif.gif">  <PARAM NAME="boxborder" VALUE="false">  <PARAM NAME="centerimage" VALUE="true"> </APPLET>
It's now much easier to maintain backwards compatibility. You can author content that runs with earlier versions of Java Plug-in, but which takes advantage of new features by simply providing a fully-formed
<applet> tag as well as the
jnlp_href parameter. Earlier JRE versions ignore the
jnlp_href parameter, and use the
<applet> tag instead. The new Java Plug-in technology ignores the archive and code parameters and use only the JNLP file to launch the applet.
The NASA World Wind Java applet example, by the World Wind Java development team, illustrates how to deploy leading-edge libraries like NASA World Wind Java, as well as how to effectively combine HTML and content in a web page using JavaScript.
The web page contains information about the Cascade mountain range (thanks to Wikipedia) and embeds World Wind Java as an applet to illustrate the locations of the mountains in the range. Incorporating World Wind in a web page is remarkably easy. Here is the
<applet> tag embedding it on the page:
<applet id="wwjApplet" width=600 height=380 code="gov.nasa.worldwind.examples.applet.WWJApplet" archive="BackwardCompatibility.jar"> <param name="jnlp_href" value="WWJApplet.jnlp"> </applet>
WWJApplet ships with the standard World Wind Java distribution. You might choose to write your own applet class and embed World Wind inside it, as described below:
Here are the relevant portions of the
WWJApplet.jnlp file:
<jnlp href="WWJApplet.jnlp"> <resources os="Windows"> <property name="sun.java2d.noddraw" value="true"/> </resources> <resources> <j2se href="#" version="1.4+"/> <jar href="worldwind.jar" main="true" /> <extension name="jogl" href="http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-webstart-current/jogl.jnlp" /> </resources> <applet-descname="WWJ Applet" main-class="gov.nasa.worldwind.examples.applet.WWJApplet"  width="100" height="100"> </applet-desc> </jnlp>
Some items to note:
worldwind.jar is used as the main jar in this example. Ideally, it would be referenced as an extension JNLP from NASA's web site, which allows many different applications or applets all embedding World Wind to share the same downloaded jar file. See below for more details.
-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true due to driver-level conflicts between the OpenGL API and the DirectDraw/Direct3D APIs used by the Java 2D implementation by default on the Windows platform. This system property is needed on Windows for all applications and applets using JOGL.
The HTML links on the web page call JavaScript functions which interact with the applet to navigate it to the appropriate mountain. Here is an example of one of these links:
Mount Rainier (southeast of Tacoma, Washington) ...
When the link is clicked, the JavaScript function gotoLocation is called. It is defined on the same web page:
function gotoLocation(locationString) { var params = locationString.split(';'); if(params.length == 3) // Lat/lon getWWJApplet().gotoLatLon(parseFloat(params[1]), parseFloat(params[2])); ... }
The locations of the mountains are encoded as JavaScript strings in the HTML of the web page. The latitude, longitude, and other viewing information is parsed out of these strings and passed into the applet. The
gotoLatLon method is defined on the
WWJApplet class; the above call to this method initiates a JavaScript-to-Java call, passing the parameters from the JavaScript engine to Java. The World Wind applet takes in this notification and animates the viewpoint to the appropriate place. Note that the
gotoLatLon method returns quickly, so that the browser is not waiting for it to complete; the animation is performed on a separate Java thread.
As mentioned above, the preferred method of incorporating World Wind Java into your application or applet is as a JNLP extension. This allows the World Wind code resources to be shared among many applications or applets from around the web which incorporate it. To reference the World Wind JNLP extension, you would add the following lines to your application's or applet's JNLP file in the <resources> section:
<extension name="worldwind" href="http://worldwind.arc.nasa.gov/java/0.4.1/webstart/worldwind.jnlp"/> <extension name="jogl" href="http://download.java.net/media/jogl/builds/archive/jsr-231-webstart-current/jogl.jnlp"/>
Note that the World Wind extension JNLP is versioned, so you would need to consult the World Wind documentation or visit the forums to find the most current version to reference from your JNLP. The World Wind Central site is a useful source of up-to-date information on World Wind.
Using World Wind as an extension implies that you can not use the
WWJApplet as your main-class directly. Due to the semantics of the JNLP file format, the main
jar (main="true") must be defined in the main JNLP file. This is an easy restriction to satisfy, however. You can simply create your own subclass of
WWJApplet (call it
MyWWJApplet) which does nothing:
class MyWWJApplet extends WWJApplet {}
Compile this with
worldwind.jar on the classpath, and then bundle this class into its own jar file. Reference that as your main jar and
MyWWJApplet as your main-class, and then pull in World Wind as the extension JNLP.
The introduction of JNLP support in the Java Plug-in opens up many new possibilities for applet deployment and represents a large step forward in the unification of the deployment of Java content both in and out of the browser. Applets have come a long way since their inception, and now with the JNLP support, they're faster and more customizable than ever.

As I said, I did the Kaspersky thing just to be informed. There are also the other reasons to wipe & reinstall, as I mentioned earlier. I was just wondering whether there had been progress at Kaspersky that Ms. Young didn't know about.
And thanks for the new link, too.

Got the system reinstalled. Now neither of the malware scanners find anything (I've only tried tdsskiller and Symantec). When I tried to burn the Darvik, I found I'd left only an old cdrom reader in my system (for some reason, neither of the modern r/w drives will boot). So I have to wait until I can get the system from her long enough to power down and install one of the writers.
I really haven't turned my back on you all .
Actually, rereading Cottonball's last message just now, I see I can run it within the system. To work!

Vicarious Glee and Lustful Nostalgia
Thursday, June 12th, 2008 • No Comments on Vicarious Glee and Lustful Nostalgia
Anyone who knows me, knows I've followed Showtime's The L-Word since it's first season (and have crushed on Shane, Alice and a couple of the other girls along the way). Alice's "Our Chart" became a major plot point for the series and Showtime shrewdly realized the potential there and created a real Our Chart.
As a fan and a writer, I was delighted to read Julia Watson's book review of Lipstick on Her Collar, the lesbian anthology that includes my story, "Women's Studies." I love it when popular culture and reality intersect in a project like Our Chart and to see a book I was a part of mentioned on a site that is connected with one of my favorite shows was very cool, indeed. Then I got to the part where the reviewer mentions my story specifically and I grinned like a fool:
Domination and submission is a theme that is played with throughout the anthology, whether the game is well-known to the participants and outfitted with the latest in accoutrements, or whether it's a simple matter of politics and power between student and teacher, as in "Women's Studies" by Kristina Wright. Honestly, who among us hasn't spent many a fond, if distracted, afternoon in class lusting after the professor? This story is vicarious glee and lustful nostalgia at its best.
Vicarious glee and lustful nostalgia. I like the sound of that. As for the story… maybe it was based on a real person, maybe it wasn't. I'll never tell.
Thanks, Julia!

One Month Ago Today...
One month ago today you gained your angel wings.
I still don't understand. I don't see why it had to be you. Why my daughter? Why my precious princess?
There are nearly 4oo children a year that are diagnosed with cancer in Australia. Why couldn't it have been one of them?
I feel so angry... I feel angry because we fought so hard.
I fought when no one else had the faith in you.
I fought when no one else had the strength to do it.
I fought even though I was tired and I had had enough...
I fought through everything, we endured so much pain, so much heartache... and for what?
We were beaten at the end by something we just simply couldn't fight.
I feel angry that I had to say goodbye...
It seems like we have have a month of hurt. Every time we start to get up from one blow, another one comes down again.
Just 2 days after we lost you we had to start giving up your stuff.
Then we had your service... and then 3 days later you came home to us...
Only instead of holding your soft warm body in my arms and playing with you, all I could do was to cradle a cold ceramic urn.
We created a special place for you, with all your favourite things... but it's just a shelf, in your bedroom. It's not the same as having you here with us.
We still have your airconditioner running. I know that sooner or later we are going to have to turn it off, but I just can't bring myself to yet. That is your room. Your room is always cold.
Slowly, it seems that every day since has delivered another little blow.
Just lots of little things, things that I know are innocent occasions and should be so simple... but they hurt so so so much.
Isabella had her prep orientation... and I walked into her new classroom and all I could think was that I would never get to do this with you. You never got your first day at school.
Jessica and Isabella had their dance recital, and as much as I loved sitting there watching them dance, there were some beautiful tiny dancers there, and it just made me think that we would never get to do that with you.
There are constant reminders everywhere, every day, that you are no longer with us.
Even in little things, like jumping into the car and going shopping at lunch time. We haven't done that in so long because you always had your daytime naps. We could never keep you away from your naps, you needed them.
Last week I picked up our Christmas Laybuys and I had to take your toys out and return them. It hurt me so much. We had planned a HUGE Christmas which is why I've been paying for it since June... but I put so much time into chosing the most perfect toys for you... and then I had to return them. It just isn't fair.
Alyssa has developed a love of The Wiggles singing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. She plays it over and over again. She sits in the car and starts singing... and I can't help but wonder if maybe she's looking for you to sing with you. You were the one that taught her that song, that was your song.
Even little things... I will grab a dress out of the cupboard to put on Alyssa, and then at any random time during the day I will look at her, and suddenly I will remember you wearing that dress... and it just hurts so very much.
All I have left of you are memories... but it just doesn't feel like they can make me happy.
Each memory makes me cry... makes my heart hurt and makes me want to be able to have you back, to hold you, cuddle you, sing to you... to see you smile... and to see that look in your eyes, that look that told me that you loved me.
Your toy box is sitting here unused.
Tomorrow they are coming to take away your wheelchair and your bath seat... and I know that it is only a very short time before we have to hand over your beloved Giraffe chair...
It feels like slowly every thing we have of yours is going away... and I don't like it.
You have been so much a part of our lives... you have been so integral in everything we have done over the past 4 years... and now it's all gone.
I feel so lost... I feel so sad... I feel so alone... and I just feel heartbroken. I wake up each morning and I go through the motions. I laugh when I think I'm supposed to and I talk when I think I'm expected to respond. I cook, I clean, I do the school run. I avoid talking to most everyone because it's just too much... but I do what I need to to get through every day...
But all around me, all I see is everyone is going about their lives, their worlds are still turning, they are still smiling and laughing...
One month ago today my world stopped.
And I really don't know when it will start turning again.

I've tried to imagine what I would feel like if it were Alexander or Samuel. I've tried, honest to God I have. But the panic, the punch in the stomach feeling - it's too much for me. I can't keep it up.
I have the luxury of shaking it off and trying to put the feeling away. For you to live it now - every single day, well I just can't process that kind of grief. I know I've told you before how sorry I am, but it's never going to really tell you. There aren't ever going to be the words.
A very close friend of mine lost her little boy to cancer when he was 7. They fought so damned hard - 3 times it came back. I watched it from almost the inside. And now I think of you and I know that this is what you're living now. The aftermath of a war - the really hard part now.
I don't know why I'm rambling. I guess I need you to know you're being heard. That Nicola is not being forgotten, and neither are you.

Oh Jo, I really feel your pain. The series of firsts, seconds, thirds that follow what you have gone through is so tough. I still experience it now and Aurora has been gone for over two years. It doesnt get easier, but the scar tissue that protects our hearts does grow thicker with each experience.
I personally like to find a song or a poem that represents my feelings at a particular moment, and the first time I went to Big W without her I physically could not walk through the door as the little girls clothes were right there at the entry... It was then that I found this poem which I hope will give words to a feeling that you may not necessarily be able to explain...
The Shopping Trip
As I peruse the aisles,
of the local store,
I see things more differently,
than I ever have before.
"Daddy's Little Angel",
the embroidered bibs do read.
But, Daddy's angel is in Heaven,
and bibs she does not need.
She does not need a bottle,
a dress or a toy.
Of buying those things for her,
we shall never know the joy.
There are tiny jars of baby food,
that she will never eat,
And shiny shoes with buckles,
that will never touch her feet.
As the bikes and trikes taunt me,
from high up on the rack,
Tears will break free from my eyes,
if I dare look back.
I run off to the restroom,
to blow my nose and cry.
I wipe my eyes, swallow hard,
and let out a sigh.
I must go face the paper,
college and wide rule,
That my little angel,
will never use in school.
I hurry past the greeting cards,
that the people chose with care,
And I am reminded,
of the holidays we shall not share.
In the checkout line I bow my head,
and heavy is my heart,
For the family right in front of me,
has a newborn in their cart.
Shopping in the local store,
used to be mundane.
Now every aisle's full of items,
which remind me of my pain.
So, quick as I can, I give the cashier,
the money from my purse,
And hurry away from those who don't know my pain, in this foreignly happy universe.

How To: Lava Stone Driveway
Materials required: RockMolds Integral Color, RockMolds Pool Trowel, RockMolds Stone Accent Release Powder, RockMolds.com stamps, RockMolds Stone Color Stain, RockMolds Stone Sealer.
1. Site prep: Determine layout of entire paver area. Remove 8" of soil inside all SF of new paver area. Keep in mind the finished elevation of concrete against all grades, including walkways and the garage.
2. Install 4" minimum of road-mix (or other local subgrade material for compaction) over the desired concrete paver area. Compact with a plate compactor every 2" of lift to ensure proper compaction. Lightly mist the road-mix with water on each lift before compaction.
3. Spray out the paver forms with marking paint. In the paver layout, mix in large and small pavers to avoid repetition in form and size. Change up the shapes, and how they intersect into each other.
Tip#1: Run 1×4's along the outer perimeter of the entire driveway location, to establish grade before you start placing your forms for pavers. This will give a constant guide to run string lines, ensuring your pavers are flowing from surface to surface. You can now pull string lines between the forms.
4. Install the individual forms, ensuring stability with plenty of form pins. Recycled 1×4″ plastic edging, or 1/8" thick Masonite for extreme curves are common material to form pavers.
Tip #2: Short pieces of 2×4's placed between the pavers provide support, while providing consistency of spacing. These are the "kickers", so when the concrete is placed inside, the forms cannot give.
5. For strength, aggregate is important in the mix. A reinforcing stealth fiber in the mix is also wise for strength. Initiate the first pour. Screed off the concrete, and float to "knock down" the aggregate.
Tip #3: Always have RockMolds Integral Color, in the concrete mix, which will be the base color. For lava, we advise "Charcoal", to give a darker grey substrate.
Tip #4: If wheel barrowing the concrete, you may have to leave a few pavers unformed for the first pour, to allow this access.
6. Pour as many pavers in the first pour as you are comfortable with, depending on experience and man-power. After screeding, floating, and troweling the edge, hit the surface with a RockMolds Pool Trowel to prepare for stamping.
7. Instead of edging, trowel down the edges at a 45 degree angle, 1″ below the form. This will give a more organic edge to your pavers as a natural stone would look, and allow to stamp this area.
8. Dust a Rockmolds Stone Accent Release Powder onto the surface of the "pancakes", to allow the stamps to leave an impression, without sticking to the concrete. Choose a Rockmolds Stone Accent Release Powder, which will compliment the Rockmolds Integral Color, such as a brown with a gray, a black with a brown. In this case we used Rockmolds Stone Accent Release Powder, Adobe Brown.
Tip #6: Do the thumb test to determine if the stones are ready to stamp. Press your thumb onto the "pancakes" if they are firm enough to keep your thumb from breaking the surface, but soft enough to take your thumb's impression, they are ready to stamp.
Tip #7: Make sure the releasing agent is shaken up and powdery before grabbing a small handful. Then apply it like you are skipping a rock across the water.
9. Firmly press a RockMolds.com floppy stamp onto the surface and sides of concrete, transferring the natural rock impression into the concrete. For stones larger than your stamp, overlap as necessary, while feathering onto the previous impression. Using multiple stamps in different patterns is preferable to avoid repetition of texture on the stones. LS301F, LS302F, LS303F, LS304F, and LS305F are stamps we commonly use for driveway pavers.
Tip #8: Remember to mix and match your RockMolds stamps to avoid repetition.
10. Let cure 24 hours. If required, form up any remaining pavers for the second pour. Repeat steps #5-8. Take care not to damage the surface from the previous day pour.
11. After 24 hours, remove all forms, hose down the paver's surface to remove all remaining powdered release agent, and allow to dry.
Tip #9: A sawzaw is useful for removing forms that are tight between pavers.
12. Color the pavers with RockMolds Stone Color Stain. Start with lighter colors, and layer in the darker colors until a certain look is obtained. For this project, we used RockMolds Stone Color, "Black" and "Expresso".
Tip #10: Predetermine the final color scheme on a test piece of cured concrete.
13. Seal the pavers with RockMolds Stone Sealer. This will give the most natural appearance to the pavers, without the sheen. Stones are not shiny in nature, only in Vegas.
Tip #11: Seal every 2 years to refresh the color and protect your investment!

Unfortunately for the network, they didn't even check the talking points for typos before throwing them on the air. FNC apologized for the mistake -- but not for reprinting a Republican press release and calling it journalism. On Sunday's edition of CNN's "State Of The Union," Howard Kurtz noted the oversight. "You shouldn't be apologizing" for the typo, Kurtz says. "You should be apologizing for using partisan propaganda." Watch:

Two hours after an accident involving a Broward County school bus on Wednesday, nine students from Plantation Middle School began reporting injuries and four of them were taken home, according to school officials.
The accident took place in an unincorporated area west of Fort Lauderdale when a car bumped into the back of the bus that was taking 34 children to the school in Plantation, said Lt. Jim Lee, a Florida Highway Patrol spokesman.
Neither the car nor the bus driver was hurt and no damages were reported to either vehicle.
But within two hours of the 7:30 a.m. accident, students began complaining about injuries, Lee said.
The car, driven by Harold Orland, 67, of the 2400 block of Southwest 81st Avenue, Davie, bumped into the back of the bus as it stopped at a red light on Northwest 34th Avenue and Sunrise Boulevard, police said.
Orland was charged with failure to use due care, according to police.
Police boarded the bus to determine whether there were injuries to the students. When they found no serious injuries and no damage to the vehicle, the bus was allowed to continue to school, Lee said.
Nine students went to the principal's office when they arrived at school, two hours late for classes. They complained of various ailments, said Assistant Principal Walter Howard.
Five of the children felt better and eventually returned to class.
Because the school nurse does not work on Wednesdays, students who feel ill are permitted to call their parents for a ride home, Howard said.
Shanae Watkins, 14, an eighth-grader, was sitting one row from the back of the bus when the accident happened. She said the bus was bumped twice, but not too hard.

It may be written in law, but it's certainly not carved in stone.
In fact, our federal fixed election date is anything but.
Opposition parties are preparing for a federal election to be held not on Oct. 19, 2015, the fixed date for the next vote, but next spring, about a year from now.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper has found a rationale to ignore a fixed election date in the past in a minority parliament, but it would be extraordinary for him to do so with a majority.
Extraordinary, but perfectly within his right.
Under legislation pushed by Conservatives after watching in frustration as Liberal Jean Chrétien picked the most advantageous moment to seek his trip to the voters, the next election is to be held the first Monday in October in the fourth year after the previous vote.
But the legislation does not override any decision by the Governor General — taken at the behest of the prime minister — to dissolve Parliament. And when Harper's decision to make an end run around his own legislation in 2008 was challenged in the courts, he was found to be well within his rights and there was no differentiation between minority or majority governments in the court decision.
Liberals and New Democrats may be simply prudent, ensuring they are not caught flat-footed.
Or they may be sowing the seeds of doubt simply to give the impression that Harper is preparing to break a promise, even if there has been no recent signal to that effect from his office. But Harper himself may have signalled just that when he responded to former interim Liberal leader Bob Rae in the Commons on June 20, 2012.
"We have noted,'' Harper said, "that the date in law for the next election currently conflicts with several provincial elections that will occur at the same time.
"We are talking to our friends in the provinces about how to resolve this. I can assure parliamentarians we will bring forward a proposal on this well before the next election.''
The federal date does conflict with elections in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, the Northwest Territories and Prince Edward Island. It could also potentially conflict with campaigns in Newfoundland and Labrador and, in the extremely unlikely event that the Kathleen Wynne government survives until then, Ontario.
Both Manitoba Premier Greg Selinger and Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall have asked Ottawa to move its federal election date, but both provinces have the ability to push their votes to the following April if Harper does not move.
Would it be easier to move a federal campaign up to next spring — when the Conservatives would be at the usual four-year expiry date for a government anyway — or juggle campaigns in almost half the provinces in the country?
Opposition parties see the provincial conflicts as a canard, but one which could be used by a prime minister who will want to seize on momentum from a surplus, pre-election budget likely to be tabled next March, meaning we could be in a federal campaign a year from today.
Moving the vote up six months or so has enormous repercussions.
If Harper wants to go that route, speculation about his future will soon become irrelevant because he would be rapidly approaching a window where he would not give his party time to properly choose a successor if he wants to step down before a spring campaign.
His contentious elections act would also have to speed its way to Royal assent so that one key provision, which has the backing of all parties, can take effect.
New Democrats have flagged a clause in the bill that provides for a six-month phase-in period to build a robocalls registry, which compels companies to register the calls with the CRTC.
If Harper wants to go to the polls next May, the elections act will have to be given Royal assent by November in order for the registry to be established for the election.
A spring election would also likely occur during a period of transition for students, making it more difficult for them to vote. They would be more likely to vote for either Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau or NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, if historic voting patterns hold.
Harper can take us to the polls next spring and he just might. But to respect at least the spirit of his own law, he should do what he promised "and bring forward a proposal well before the next election.''

6 Signs You'd Benefit from Working with a Business Coach
You keep revamping your website
A little change here, a bigger change there, new images etc. All this serves to tell you that you are unsure about who you are, what your business does and more importantly who will be attracted to work with you once they stumble upon you. A Business Coach will ensure you develop the best format, create the right image and shape your language to suit those exact needs of your ideal client once they seek you out and land straight on your pages.
You keep changing your main offering
You've gone through more changes than Superman with your service offering. It's seen you change from one thing to another without giving any offering the chance to be really tried and tested. A Business Coach will help you decide on what you really want to offer based on your skills, strengths and passion and challenge you with all the right questions as to whom you really want to work with and why and what you want to offer them.
Your confidence levels are low
Your scatter gun approach to your business is keeping your head above water, but only just. Which means it's having an impact on how you feel about your business; your stress levels are quite high and you're pretty exhausted with the level of effort you're expending on delivery of your services without experiencing the same level of return. This in turn is impacting on your confidence, which becomes a vicious circle. A Business Coach will help you to pick your way through the rubble and create more structure and direction.
You are in your head way too much
Sounds like an odd one, but is so true! The employed get to talk through challenges with their colleagues, bosses and even friends. For the self-employed even the latter are unlikely to be able to help – who understands what it's like to run a business but other self-employed people and when you're running a business it can be hard to share with others when you're struggling. Stiff upper lip and all that! A Business Coach provides an objective sounding board and an ability to ask the right questions to generate solutions which create actions for successful outcomes.
You're allowing procrastination to take over
See above! Due to the above issue, you're constantly going back on forth on ideas, plans and strategies for how you will grow your business, but never seeming to take action on anything that will really help you get there and if you do, you're so full of self-doubt that no real positive outcome is likely to happen anyway. Having a Business Coach on your side will help you to create the right actions and then have the accountability to make those actions happen and with the best outcomes.
You are scared about marketing your business
You know what you should be doing to market your business, but… you're not sure what you have to say, if anything at all and if you are, you're embarrassed as to who will read it, if anyone at all! You're full of contradictions, excuses, indecision and therefore little to no marketing is taking place. A business coach will help you to gain clarity and confidence on what your marketing message is, who it needs to be seen by and how.
I don't need to tell you all that chopping and changing costs you money, in real terms, not to mention in your valuable time and energy. Weigh that up with the investment and return with a Business Coach and you'll soon see where you're better concentrating your efforts.

what is your opinion on choke chains on a puppy
I had one, but someone told me it was bad for puppies so I got him a harness instead, then today I ran into a dog trainer who said the harness was bad cause it encouraged them to pull
what should I use?
Puppies will pull with choke chains on too with the possibility of doing some serious damage to their necks/throats. Personally, I wouldn't use a choke chain on a wandering two year old if I took them to the mall, why would I want one on my dog ? What you have to remember is that whatever you choose to use, it's just a tool....you're the one who has to teach your pup to walk on a loose leash, don't ever rely on tools to do so.
That being said, we only use the Easy Walk Harness on puppies in our home. It doesn't encourage them to pull as the leash attaches at the chest and the pup is re-directed in the opposite direction if he does try to pull. http://www.gentleleader.com/View.asp...lk/description You can start by attaching the leash to both you and your pup in the home and simply have him follow you as you go about your business. Don't forget to reward him every now and then with treats, praise, play, etc. to teach him that being by you is the best place to be.
On teaching pups of different ages loose leash walking: http://www.clickersolutions.com/arti...01/lltotal.htm
And a free downloadable book that's indispensable for all new puppy guardians: http://www.dogstardaily.com/files/AF...ur%20Puppy.pdf
Good luck and enjoy your pup!
"Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance." -Will Durant
Luckypenny that is exactly what I use on both my terriers. I love that harness. I just purchased one for my 6 year old cause even still he will bolt and hurt his throat. I highly recommend it.
A harness doesn't encourage a dog to pull anymore than any other aid as long as the owner takes the time to teach the dog how to walk on leash.
I haven't used a choke chain in a long time, and only on dogs that don't pull on them. Some dogs will still pull on a choke chain (most will actually if they're not trained to not pull in the first place) and can hurt their throats. A puppy would be more prone to injury since their necks aren't fully developed and muscled yet.
Nothing wrong with a harness. Use what you feel works on your dog and is safe, and put time into training them not to pull. I've used them all, and the closest thing I can think of to a quick fix for pulling is a head halter, which some dogs will still pull on and can still cause injury on the wrong dog or used incorrectly.
I haven't used the easy walk harness like Luckypenny posted, but I've used a leash attached to the front of a normal harness, and it's the same principal. It works fine along with training.

It's eleven at night, I'm watching "Sons of Anarchy," a new favorite show I began watching on Netflix yesterday, and I'm still not tired enough to sleep. (As I yawn)
Earlier today I was thinking about how things were back when I was in school, how my friends and I would communicate and keep each other up to date on who liked who, who was dating who, what the latest fashion craze was, etc. And I started to miss how we did things back then. We wrote notes in class, secretly passing them around the classroom when the teacher wasn't looking, asking about boys or making fun of a classmate. Some of my friends in elementary school learned the alphabet in sign language just so we could "talk" to each other while we did our work. We got so good at it, we could do it behind our backs to those that sat behind us. (Laughing)
If a boy liked us, or we liked a boy, notes were slipped through the slots in lockers between classes in middle school. And we nervously waited until our next class was over to see if said person responded with a note in our lockers. If we weren't passing notes, we were gossiping about who we liked and didn't like. And, of course, we did the whole "ask so and so if he/she likes me" thing, then waited until our friend came back from asking them in hopes they said yes.
We didn't have cellphones, texting, Facebook, email, or even MySpace, (when it was popular). Back then, we used our actual words, actual pen and paper to say how we were feeling, who we liked and didn't like, or better yet, we used a regular telephone at our homes to call each other, with our parent's permission, of course.
It seems anymore that just about every person on the planet has a cellphone, Facebook, email, etc., and they rarely actually talk to anyone. We, yes, this does include me, have allowed technology to change how we communicate with others. Instead of calling people to tell them something that has happened in our lives, we post it on Facebook for everyone, including those it doesn't pertain to, to read. Aside from wedding invitations, we set up an "event" and invite people to birthday parties. We send emails instead of mailing actual letters, and we send a text instead of making a phone call.
I understand technology makes things easier and faster, and will only continue to get better, but sometimes I miss those days of letters in the mailbox, phone calls on a landline and going to someone's home to have a good chat. I embrace technology, I actually love it, but I will always miss the simpler times.
Don't ever forget about the simpler times. You know, the good ol' days.

A 19-year-old girl was allegedly raped by a youth under the Kothakota police station limits in the Visakhapatnam district, police said.
The incident took place yesterday evening when the girl had gone out to answer nature's call.
Her family members lodged a police complaint against A Rajasekhar (22), the accused, today.
The girl, native of Ravikamatham, was visiting her relatives' house. Rajasekhar alleged dragged her to a sugarcane field seeing her alone and raped her, according to the complaint.
Hearing her cries for help, some locals rushed to the spot when the accused fled.
Police were looking for the accused, while the girl was sent to government hospital, Narsipatnam, for medical tests.

I'm pretty certain I've tried most formats when it comes to blogging. I enjoy writing and and having a bit of me saved to remember moments in life…but sometimes- things happen. We outgrow things or our hearts aren't into it and we just let it go to the wayside…or- in the case of tumblr- it crashes your phone and you lose that availability to blog on the go. Rude tumblr. Rude.
At the end of the day I'm a sass mouth'n, dry humored, makeup loving, southern lady living all of 30 minutes from our nations capital.

The government has rejected a resolution approved last week by the European Parliament criticising the recent prosecution of opposition leader Sam Rainsy and commenting on a "worrying authoritarian trend" in Cambodian politics.
The resolution, passed Thursday, called on the Cambodian authorities to resolve their dispute with the Sam Rainsy Party president "through political dialogue and to enable [him] to resume his parliamentary activities as rapidly as possible".
Sam Rainsy has been sentenced to a total of 12 years in jail on a series of charges relating to his campaign to expose alleged Vietnamese incursions into Cambodia.
If Sam Rainsy's two convictions are upheld, the EP's resolution stated, he would be barred from standing in the 2013 national elections, a prospect that left the European MPs "particularly alarmed".
Tith Sothea, a spokesman for the Council of Ministers' Press and Quick Reaction Unit, dismissed the resolution, saying Sam Rainsy had made a "mistake" by uprooting border markers in Svay Rieng province last year, the action that led to his initial conviction in January.
"The case of Mr Sam Rainsy is a personal mistake and one made with a political motivation," Tith Sothea said.
"It is under the jurisdiction of the courts."
Government spokesman Khieu Kanharith added that Europe should not "give a lesson to Cambodia" and should focus on its own problems.
Sam Rainsy Party spokesman Yim Sovann welcomed the EP resolution, calling on the government to consider how Sam Rainsy's cases might create problems down the road.
"Justice always beats injustice," he said. "The government which uses the courts as a tool to silence the opposition party's popularity should consider this issue." ADDITIONAL REPORTING BY AFP

Apache HTTP Server with PHP modules enabled
What is PHP?
PHP is a scripting language, created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1994, which was designed for web development but can also be used as a general-purpose programming language.
This box installs the PHP programming language, as well as an Apache server to run it.
Deployment Variables
http: Port to be used for HTTP connections [80 as default value]
https: Port to be used for HTTPS connections [443 as default value]
github.git_repo.CLONE_URL: Git repository URL that contains the necessary Puppet code to install PHP [https://github.com/ElasticBox/php.git as default value]
github.git_repo.CLONE_DIRECTORY: Directory where the repository will be cloned [/etc/puppet/modules/php as default value]
github.git_repo.BRANCH: Git branch that will be cloned. [master as default value]
puppet.MODULES_DIRECTORY: Path of the directory that stores the puppet modules. Modules are self-contained bundles of code and data
puppet.PUPPET_DEFAULT: Manifest file (default.pp) that serves as the entry point for the Puppet run
puppet.HIERA_PATH: Path to the Hiera's data configuration directory on the instance
puppet.HIERA_COMMON: Instance non-specific configuration file (Common.yaml)
puppet.PUPPET_CONF: Puppet configuration file (Puppet.conf) that uses Puppet agent
puppet.HIERA_YAML: Instance specific configuration file (Hiera.yaml)

The sharp fall in CBIS today has been accompanied by significant volume, which indicates that the market sentiment has turned bearish on the stock. CBIS had fallen nearly 1.7% last week. The weekly loss came after the stock rallied in the prior week on some positive developments for the medical marijuana industry. CBIS is currently trading close to $0.075, which is a key support level for the stock. If CBIS falls below this level then there is significant downside potential.
CBIS recently appointed Chad S. Johnson, Esq., a Harvard Law School Graduate, as a Member of its Board and General Counsel.

This could very well be the next face in green racing. Designed by Thomas Clavet, the GreenGT boasts 350-450hp, 0-60 mph in under four seconds, and a top speed of 171 mph. There are two water-cooled electric motors combined with a proprietary gearbox, and, power is apparently delivered to a set of lithium-ion batteries through a duo of solar panels. The car is supposedly being designed for the 24 Heures du Mans race in 2011. [ Continue Reading ]

Editor, the Record:
Editor, the Record:
We should have pride that the Stroudsburg School Board and administration are staying the course, a course designed to spend more money than we can afford. What follows are some examples that we can be proud of: 1) spending $100 million to accommodate fictitious future student populations without considering, if necessary, other ways to school the students; 2) ignoring the economic advantages of a four-day school week; 3) ignoring the economic advantages of contracting out-sourcing busing and maintenance services; 4) ignoring residents' needs.
At last Sunday's Mass, a woman who lived by the high school for 30 years came to me and said "They're taking my house." Not knowing the party line, I was speechless. I, for one, need to know the justification for these actions and lack of action.
A candidate for U.S. Congress has proposed a law to fine major league sports players $5 for every time they spit. The millions would be divided among local school districts. Stroudsburg would opt out because they have more funds than they need.

If you're ever preparing for a presentation at General Motors and wondering whether to try and somehow sneak in the phrase "rolling sarcophagus," the answer is no.
The phrase is one of 69 that the company urged workers not to use in a 2008 PowerPoint presentation on how to handle various aspects of recalls. The PowerPoint, marked "Confidential," was released Friday by the U.S. government, and the list, buried at the bottom of the document embedded below, doesn't quite mince words when discussing what not to say.

Author: Cambria Hebert
Genre: Romantic suspense
Release Date: May 6th
Price: $2.99 (Ebook) $9.99 (Print)
The meter is running…
One night as Rose Crawford steps out of a bar, she gives no second thought to lifting her hand to signal for a cab. After all, it's the responsible thing to do.
A common occurrence.
Far safer than walking several blocks, alone, in the dark.
A familiar-looking yellow taxi with black, faux-leather seats, running meter on the dash, and a smiling driver pulls up to the curb.
Rose slides in. Gives the driver her address…
But she never reaches her destination.
Instead, she finds herself captive, at the will of a man who isn't a driver, but a bona fide psychopath.
Trapped in a taxi she can't escape, Rose begins to panic. As the miles between her and safety grow, hope dwindles. It isn't until someone else joins her in captivity that her spark of hope is rekindled.
Derek is strong, capable, and surely together they can fight their way to freedom.
Then Rose finds out exactly why she's been driven into hell. Derek may be an unwilling captive, but he isn't going to help her.
In fact, he's there to do the exact opposite.
