Adding SSL (Secure Socket Layer) support is simple using JBoss 2.4 with either Tomcat or Jetty Web containers. The specific releases used were JBoss 2.4 BETA Rel_2_4_0_23 with Tomcat 3.2.2, and JBoss-2.4.0_Jetty-3.1.RC8-1.
The target system was a RH Linux 6.2 system using the Sun 1.3 JDK and Sun's Secure Socket Extension, JSSE 1.0.2.
Multiple site certificates. Support of certificates for multiple sites is currently under discussion. Please post your requirements to the forums or the jboss-user mailing list.
If you are using JDK 1.3 or 1.2, JSSE is optional. Download it from Sun's JSSE Page. Jump through the hoops as required.
If you are using JDK 1.4, JSSE is included. But then, JDK 1.4 is another story.
Follow steps 1 through 5 of the JSSE installation instructions.
If you need to run 'keytool' on your system to create and/or import certificates, copy the JSSE jars to $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext.
Generate a Server Key and Certificate
The following shell script can be used to create a "self-signed" server certificate for testing:
The keystore file will be generated in the directory from which you run keytool. Copy the keystore file to an appropriate directory.
keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA \ -dname 'CN=your.domain.com, OU=Skunk Works Unit, O=Your Organization, L=Your Location, S=Your State, C=US' \ -keypass changeit \ -storepass changeit \ -keystore server.keystore
It should be possible to import existing certificates generated with OpenSSL using keytool. See the section Importing SSL certificates in the Tomcat documentation.
If using Tomcat - Find the section in the Tomcat server.xml configuration file that starts with, "Uncomment this for SSL support". Uncomment the following section, and insert the location of your server key.
<Connector className="org.apache.tomcat.service.PoolTcpConnector"> <Parameter name="handler" value="org.apache.tomcat.service.http.HttpConnectionHandler"/> <Parameter name="port" value="8443"/> <Parameter name="socketFactory" value="org.apache.tomcat.net.SSLSocketFactory" /> <Parameter name="keystore" value="/usr/java/jakarta-tomcat-3.2.2/server.keystore" /> <Parameter name="keypass" value="changeit" /> </Connector>
Copy the JSSE jars to your $TOMCAT_HOME/lib directory.
If using Jetty - Find the section in the $JBOSS_JETTY_HOME/conf/jetty/jetty.xml configuration file that starts with, "Uncomment this to add an SSL listener". Uncomment the following section, and insert the location of your server key.
<Call name="addListener"> <Arg> <New class="com.mortbay.HTTP.SunJsseListener"> <Set name="Port">8443</Set> <Set name="MinThreads">5</Set> <Set name="MaxThreads">255</Set> <Set name="MaxIdleTimeMs">50000</Set> <Set name="Keystore"><SystemProperty name="jetty.home" default="."/>/etc/server.keystore</Set> <Set name="Password">changeit</Set> <Set name="KeyPassword">changeit</Set> </New> </Arg> </Call>
Start JBoss and point your browser to https://your-server-name.your-domain:8443 to test your SSL implementation.
If using "self-signed" certificates, you may have to import your test certificate into your browser.

Other such forces include the ones in Lybia and Afganistan. In principle, the EU`s team`s mission is only concerned with law enforcement within the Palestinian society, but Israeli occupation intrudes into it in numerous ways - particularly the division of the land into three areas: A, B and C according to Oslo agreement.The Palestinian police has difficulty reaching and controlling area "C," which is under full Israeli control; the EU mission could do nothing to change that situation, finally "leaving it for the negotiators". Moreover, the Israeli authorities place all kinds of restrictions, for example not allowing the EU to equip the Palestinian Police with laptops which would have made criminal records more easily accessible to police personnel. ak

|IMEMC quoting Haaretz - According to an unnamed Palestinian official, Palestinians are willinng to conduct a land swap that would allow Israel to keep settlement blocks in the West Bank, in exchange for granting the Palestinians areas in the Negev - but such land-swaps should not exceed %1.9 of the West Bank. Other demands included a safe passage linking between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and control over borders, parts of the Dead Sea, and water resources, and a clear time-frame for a full Israeli withdrawal from the occupied territories in 3.5 years. Palestinian refugees would be given financial compensation and a choice between "returning to Palestinian controlled areas" (not back to their original homes), going to a third state or staying as citizens of the countries they live in. The Israeli side regarded the Palestinian position as hard-line [sic!], insisting on continued Israeli military presence along the Jordan River. ak

From 1993 until 2003 a mushrooming of amorphous matchbox-shaped multi-story apartment buildings to house a significant population growth. In 2005/2006 it was time for monumental governmental buildings of the (non)state, iconic corporate office towers and last but not least, suburban complexes of detached houses with fence, lawn, and pet. The third phase, growing from the second, was the construction of middle class suburbs in the only direction allowed by Israeli occupation, i.e. northwards.

It is to house some 40,000 Palestinians, with homes costing between $60,000 and $180,000, and have movie theaters, a museum, a library, a hotel etc. Palestinians told Masri that the hair on their arms stands when they see the working cranes. On the other hand, Parliamentarian Mustafa Bargouthi is worried that "the construction of Rawabi feeds a certain media trend, intended to show that things are fine, Palestinians are normalizing and accepting the system of occupation". In fact, the development of Rawabi is very much hampered by the occupation. Rawabi is surrounded by the Israeli- controlled "Area C" and is near to the Israeli settlement of Ateret. So far, the military authorities only allow a narrow access road, which would fit a town of no more than 5000 inhabitants. Also, water supply from Israeli-controlled areas is by no means assured, and when inhabitants move in next year they might not have water in the taps of their beautiful new homes. ak

Such calls have a direct bearing on the Middle East Peace Process (MEPP), which neither the Palestinian leadership nor the European Union as a key sponsor and supporter of the MEPP can afford to ignore.-rh

|At-Tuwani, South Hebron Hills - School Patrol Update
|Operation Dove - During the month of September OD volunteers registered 22 school days. The children were left to wait in unsafe positions for more than 13 hours, and missed more than three hours of school in total. The soldiers walked with the children during the allotted escort 65% of the times. In the registered cases (40 cases, considering both the mornings and the afternoons) the soldiers never completed the accompaniment route, leaving always the children alone in particularly dangerous areas.-rh
|In a Polluted Stream, a Pathway to Peace
|JEFF WHEELWRIGHT - The International Harald Tribune - Underground and out of sight near the Old City, the sewage breaks into the open at the separation barrier, where the West Bank begins; picks up additional loads from Bethlehem and the impoverished town of Ubeidiya; passes beneath the monastery; and eventually, though some is diverted by settlers for irrigation, it reaches the Dead Sea.-rh

|David Shulman - We spend the mid-day hours picking olives in Susya, right next to the archaeological park that was the original home of the Susya Palestinians. To their great misfortune, an ancient synagogue was discovered there, so they were driven out—the first of at least five increasingly violent expulsions. They probably can`t get to their olives near the park without our presence;-rh

|Gaza to run out of drinking water
|Alternative Information Center - Gaza's population of 1.6 million Palestinians are without clean drinking water. The only source of water they can access—the underground water aquifer—is being over-utilized and is now highly polluted with sea water and sewage intrusion. Unless something is done about it, Gaza's aquifer will become unusable by 2016, and irreversibly damaged by 2020, according to the United Nations Country Team in the oPt. Today already, most families in Gaza are forced to buy drinking water from private companies at high cost, with some paying as much as a third of their income on water. bz

A nice maze game. Collect things in a dark house and avoid monsters
A nice remake of the Haunted House game originally by Atari on the A2600 console.
The game's object is simple.
Collect and assemble 3 pieces of an Urn and escape the house.
To collect items, you must run over them. they will be automatically
picked up. You can only hold one item at a time. so it will swap with whatever you last got.
The Urn will automatically assemble as you get the pieces.
To see where you're going, you use matches - by pressing [ shift ]
To walk around use the [ arrow ] keys
You can turn on lights to the house if you touch a lightswitch.
The items are: Sceptre, Key, Urn pieces (3of)
The Sceptre when carried will make you invisible to the monsters in the house. Be careful, as they can still hurt you if you touch them.
The Key will let you pass through locked door in the house.
The urn once assembled needs to be taken out of the house to win.
You get a score based on time taken to complete this mission, number of matches used,
times you were hit & difficulty level.
Scores can be submitted to an online hiscore board at Acoders.com

Friday night my younger (youngest) sister and I went for burgers at Epic Burger. Pardon the poor quality, but all the only camera I had with me was my phone camera. These burgers and fries really are amazing. Seriously, so delicious! And I love the Epic Rules!
PS. They also have turkey burgers for my non-(red)meat eating friends.

Thanks to modern technology, we can connect to clients and colleagues virtually anytime, anywhere. But what happens when we must disconnect? Setting up a professional automatic reply email message helps ensure others can keep working and your business keeps growing.
Before running out the door for a well-deserved vacation or a dreaded dentist appointment, set up an auto reply message that helps the recipient know what to do in your absence. The most functional messages contain the following:
- Brief greeting
- Dates you will be unavailable
- Your return date
- Who to contact in your absence
Unplugging is hard, but you need to decide how accessible you'll be when not in the office. If you intend to periodically check email, you may want to say you have limited access to email or that you will check email once a day. However, if you're traveling abroad, consider the potentially steep Wi-Fi charges and international data fees. Travelling to different time zones can be confusing for recipients when your messages states that you'll reply by 8:00 a.m. but your message doesn't hit their inbox until noon.
Some people provide their cell phone number for urgent matters, but what if you and the recipient have vastly different definitions for the word 'urgent'? Are you prepared to offer the same level of service and responsiveness when you're vacationing in Italy and a client wants to discuss a policy that is up for renewal in four months? Another option is to leave a mobile number with a trusted colleague who can contact you if something is truly urgent and cannot be handled in the office while you take a much-needed break.
It helps to already have a standard out-of-office message on file that just needs a little editing before going live. Here's a basic message to get you started:
Thank you for contacting ABC Insurance. I am currently out of the office and will return Monday, June 6. During this time I will have limited access to email.
If you need immediate assistance, please contact Brian Jones at firstname.lastname@example.com or 727-555-1212. Otherwise, I will gladly assist you upon my return.
Best regards,
Susan Wilson
There are many ways to say the same thing, so pick a format that works best for your business communication style. Here are some formats to consider:
Date Examples
- I am currently out of the office and will return Monday, June 6.
- I will be out of the office from Monday, May 30, through Friday, June 3, and will return Monday, June 6.
- I am not in the office this morning but will be in at 1:00 p.m.
Accessibility Examples
- I do not have access to email at this time.
- I have limited access to email.
- I will be checking email during the evening.
- I am only able to check email after 8:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time.
Alternate Contact Examples
- If you need immediate assistance, please contact Brian Jones at email@example.com or 727-555-1234. Otherwise, I will gladly assist you upon my return.
- If this is an urgent matter, you can reach me on my cell at 727-555-5678.
- If you are inquiring about renewing your policy, please contact Brian Jones at firstname.lastname@example.com or 727-555-1234. If you would like a quote for a new policy, please contact Nicole Smith at email@example.com 727-555-5678.
Whatever format you choose, keep it brief, double check dates, provide alternate contacts, and do your best to unplug and enjoy your time away from the office. Always end your out-of-office message with a professional and functional email signature, but that's a topic for another blog post.

For the smooth and efficient running of the school a Code of Behaviour is required. This is designed to form a culture and a climate in the school based on self-responsibility and care. The best rule is, "to have respect for oneself and for others".
Wainuiomata High School provides a safe environment. It is expected that students will not bring anything to school that is harmful to themselves or to others. Students are also expected to respect themselves and each other.
All students belong to one of four school Houses – Ngata, Tuwhare, Rutherford or Apiata. The students belong to the same house throughout their schooling and participate in a wide range of inter-house activities that include different sports competitions and community based projects. The Houses are led by House Captains and are supported by representatives at each year level.
Points are gained for the House throughout the year and at the end of the year the House that has accumulated the highest number of points is awarded the prize for Top House. The House system allows for leadership opportunities and friendly rivalry between the houses, together with the involvement of staff provides the setting for collaboration, teamwork and fun.
This year, we have made a change to the way form classes are set up. We have created a vertical structure, meaning that all year groups are combined for their form classes, so a form class will be made up of a mix of Year, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 students. This does not affect teaching classes. Family members are in the same form class unless requested. The Whanau Unit is a separate form class.
The Team consists of the Senior Management Team, Year Level Deans, Form Teachers, a Guidance Counsellor, an International Student Dean and Careers staff.
Deans provide leadership and guidance for all students and Form Teachers in their year level. They have a responsibility for the holistic pastoral care of each student. Deans continue their association with the student throughout their schooling.
Manaaki Teachers
The Manaaki Teacher meets daily with the students and therefore has an excellent opportunity get to know each student and their parents/caregivers and to care for each student according to their particular abilities, aspirations and needs.
Guidance Counsellor
The school has a full time Guidance Counsellor available to assist students and their families. The Guidance Counsellor has direct contact with a great many outside agencies which may be required to assist a particular student.
The Learning Support Centre provides individual programmes for students who meet the criteria for the Ongoing Resourcing Schemes (ORS). Students are supported in their learning in a variety of settings which may include the centre itself, mainstream school classes, the workforce and in the community.
Staff work closely with caregivers and other professionals to design and implement a range of programmes to meet the specific needs of each individual student.

The Excavation
Joseph Roth
translated by Michael Hofmann
The summer lay there, waiting to finish. Autumn was when the strangers were expected, the hop merchants from Austria, Germany and England, the rich men off whom many people in our town made their livings.
The summer lay there, and it spawned various illnesses. People got belly-aches and died from eating rotten fruit, the water ran out in the wells, a couple of pine forests burned down, and the dry grass on the steppes caught alight. At night, the horizon was red, and there were acrid fumes in the air.
We kept getting new visitors to the morgue. The authorities announced that the water was dangerous. We drank hot tea, and avoided cherries, even sour cherries. The apples and pears were not yet ripe.
A lot of people went to the steam baths, to sweat out the poisons. Frau Bardach, the owner of the baths, was kept so busy that she fell ill. Another two weeks, then she was dead, and she was buried in the Jewish cemetery before her son could get there, her son out in the wide world who wrote to her a couple of times a year.
His uncle, Frau Bardach's brother, was a rich timber merchant in Vienna. Wolf, his nephew, had crossed the border to join him when still a boy.
It was said he had become a great lawyer, a celebrated man. Everyone was eager to see him.
He came. He really was worth seeing. Could that gentleman really be a son of our town?
Wolf Bardach was not merely wide and fat, with glinting spectacles in the middle of his face, with a stiff grey hat perched on his head, with shiny red cheeks – Bardach also wore light check trousers. They were the first such trousers that had ever been seen in our town, not even the Count had such a pair.
Bardach inherited a large fortune. Steam baths are a good business. If Bardach had stayed to run his mother's business, he would have made millions within a few years.
He had no shortage of advisers either. People who had known Wolf Bardach when he was a little boy came to him with propositions. Wolf Bardach was staying in a hotel, oh, what a hotel!
Because of course we had a hotel, it stood at the end of the street that led to the station. A simple little house, with a bar in the middle, and a ridiculous sign over the door. It showed a fat knight, holding a beer tankard aloft in his right hand, while his armour vainly strove to restrain his bulging gut.
The hotel had no more than three rooms. Each of the rooms was heated by a bad stove. None of the rooms had a bed with a mattress in it. All the beds had straw sacks.
There will have been vermin as well. It was known as The Cockroach Arms. In fact, the hotel was called The Drunken Bear. That was where the great lawyer Wolf Bardach stayed, the famous man, the man in light check trousers.
He took all three rooms for himself. There was nowhere left for any other visitors. Even rich people who came to our town were forced to stay with our two bakers, who let out their beds at night, while they did their baking.
It was probably the pitiful condition of the tourist facilities in our town that persuaded the attorney to build a new hotel.
He decided to build a hotel along American lines. He wanted a hotel such as you might have found in New York City.
Wolf Bardach sold the steam baths and his mother's house. He bought five little houses, and had them torn down.
It wasn't just the houses themselves that cost money. The demolition cost as well. Because on average three families lived in each of the five houses, and because each family had lots of children, Herr Bardach had to build tenements to rehouse all these homeless people.
So there was work in our town. The oldest men, men with white beards, men you would have called on at most to fix your stove in winter, now clambered up and down scaffolding poles. They were like bearded weasels.
I too found work. I had a notebook, and wrote down metres and centimetres and kept a tally of planks, posts and bricks.
I wasn't the only one either. There were other intelligent young men with notebooks with me.
We were indispensable.
The hotel was to be five storeys high. It was the tallest building anywhere within ten miles.

"If he [Jesus] acts in his deity and asks you and I to follow him, then that seems not plausible." states Luke Hendrix, Executive Pastor of Imago Dei in Portland. Knowing what scripture says and what Jesus says in scripture, we might not be able to know how much Jesus knew as a man or as the deity. "What we do know for sure is we're not God, we can't be God."

Please read the disclaimers below before you read this story.
First: This isn't a real story. It has no plot. It has no point. It's a completely juvenile tongue-in-cheek attempt at humor. At no point should it be taken seriously.
Second: This doesn't really take place in the Coda world. Maybe it happens in some goofy alternate universe. Maybe it's just a really strange dream that Jared has one night after eating cold pizza and pickles before bed. Again, at no point should it be taken seriously.
Third: If you haven't ever watched Scooby-Doo, you probably won't really find it funny. Even if you have watched Scooby-Doo, you might not find it funny.
Fourth: Please, whatever you do, don't waste your time being offended.

Game On Blog Tour Day 8 - Post Olympics Crash
I am supposed to be feeling refreshed after a weekend of relaxation but ... not so much. Anyone else got an Olympics hangover today? I stayed up entirely too late watching the closing ceremony - and now I'm a little bit sleepy, and wondering what to watch on TV now all the sports are over!
No time to be too sleepy though, there are three stops on the blog tour today!
Emily R. King - one of the sweetest bloggers in blogland - will be holding a Game On giveaway, so make sure you stop by and check it out!
I visit writer of Provex City, Michael Pierce, to talk about turning Game On into a series - and give you a small glimpse into some of my plans for future books.
And the lovely Aubrie Dionne will be giving a Game On shoutout!
Thanks to you all for having me!
Now, I'm off to work on a brand new story idea that came to me in a dream! Not sure if I can really do that much with it, but it's nagging away at my brain, so I have to give it a try!
Hope you all have a lovely day!

I'm completely lost regarding TV viewing - although #2 son is watching Lord of the Rings, so I won't have to decide for about 9 hours!ReplyDelete
Love the spontaneous ideas - hope it works out!
WOOT! I can't believe I've missed 8 days of this. I'm a terrible bloggy friend. I blame my brain-deadness from my offline life ;)ReplyDelete
Congratulations on completing the first week of your tour, and good lick with the second! :DReplyDelete
Not missing the Olympics, actually looking forwards to seven episodes of EastEnders! ;)
Good luck with the new story idea!ReplyDelete
Already visited one of those stops! Didn't stay up to watch all of the ceremony, but caught most of it.ReplyDelete
There's nothing like the pull of a new idea. Thanks for guest posting on my blog! :)ReplyDelete
I love those new ideas! The ones from dreams are AWESOME. Good luck to you.ReplyDelete
Happy to have you on my blog, Kyra! :DReplyDelete
I stayed up too... am now feeling rather jaded! Ah well, good job it only comes round every four years...ReplyDelete
I stayed up waaaaaayyy too late (even let the wee one stay up too). Now, I have to read a bunch of really boring academic papers... ::wishes for olympics to still be on::ReplyDelete
Dreams are where all of my fiction ideas came from.ReplyDelete
I enjoyed the ending ceremony. England did a great job with the Olympics.
Ooh! YAY!ReplyDelete
I'm not feeling relaxed after the weekend either, although it has less to do with the Olympics and more to do with a sick husband. Guys are such wimps when they're sick. It's horrible!
Can't wait to check out what everyone has in store for your tour today! :)
Hope you catch up on your sleep and great way to start off the week! :)ReplyDelete
I am missing the olympics! Didn't meant to watch the entire thing last night but it kept getting weirder and weirder and I couldn't look away!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous14 August 2012 at 06:58
I love the urgency of a new idea.ReplyDelete
I hope you get some rest.
*group hugs* I know this is not the ideal way to reply to comments, but I am drowning in real life stuff at the moment, and battling sleep deprivation! Thanks all for your comments - love ya!ReplyDelete

By the midway point of the fourth set on Tuesday, Charles Pollnow was asking for the ball.
The way the Bishop Gorman senior was destroying volleyballs from the front and back courts, it was no wonder why.
Junior setter Trevor Papock turned the 6-foot-2-inch outside hitter into his favorite target in the Gaels' 18-25, 25-21, 25-21, 25-14 home win over Shadow Ridge in a Sunset Region quarterfinal.
"My first playoff victory," said Kyle Krauss, in his sixth season. "It feels good to get off the schneid."
Gorman (38-6) will meet Palo Verde (26-9) in a semifinal at 5 p.m. Thursday at Legacy High.
The final chants on Tuesday belonged to Gorman's student body, which celebrated the win with cries of, "We want Palo. We want Palo." The Gaels will finally get their chance after surviving a match much tougher than the final score might suggest.
Shadow Ridge led in each of the four sets and played the Gaels close throughout. There were ties at the midway point or later in each of the first three sets, but the Mustangs could only pull out one set.
Leading 14-11 in the fourth set, Gorman secured the win after running off nine consecutive points. In the middle of it all was Pollnow, who finished with 15 kills, 19 digs and three aces.
"I wanted the ball," Pollnow said. "I wanted to put it away and knock those guys off. It just clicked for me and I knew what I had to do."
Will Hafen added 18 kills for the Gaels.
Tanner Franklin had 17 kills and nine digs for Shadow Ridge, and teammate C.J. McInnis notched 36 assists, 20 digs and five blocks.
But the evening belonged to the Gaels, and Pollnow.
"He finally found his rhythm," Krauss said of his Benedictine University (Arizona)-bound hitter. "He's trained for this, this situation. Mentally he's struggled in this moment in the past. But he finally climbed over that mountain tonight."
And he helped Krauss do the same — in the form of a first playoff win.
"And hopefully now a first state," Pollnow said.
Palo Verde 3, Sierra Vista 1 — At Gorman, Stephen Banks had 16 kills and five blocks, and Scott Solan added eight kills and five aces to rally the Panthers to a 22-25, 25-18, 25-12, 25-15 win over the Mountain Lions in a Sunset Region quarterfinal.
Kainoa Villa had five kills, 23 assists and four blocks, and Haden Van Orden had 12 assists for Palo Verde.
Chris McCoy had 15 kills, six digs and two blocks, and Frank Hines had seven kills, two aces and four blocks to lead Sierra Vista. Lerone Gibson had eight kills, and Ian Albertson dished out 28 assists for the Mountain Lions (18-17).
Centennial 3, Durango 0 — At Arbor View, Sam Belnap had 28 assists, seven digs and three aces, and Kade Frischnecht added 10 kills, six digs and two aces to lead the Bulldogs to a 25-21, 25-19, 25-23 win over the Trailblazers (22-17) in a Sunset Region quarterfinal.
Antwaun Smith had eight kills and four blocks, and Farries Gardner notched nine kills for Centennial (31-9), which will meet top-seeded Arbor View (30-8) in a semifinal at 5 p.m. Thursday at Legacy High.
Arbor View 3, Desert Oasis 0 — At Arbor View, Carson Driscoll had 26 assists, two blocks and two aces in the Aggies' 25-12, 25-21, 25-9 victory over the Diamondbacks in a Sunset Region quarterfinal.
Brenden Wagner added 11 kills, Treven Clizbe had nine kills, and Tyreese Cole had six kills for Arbor View.
Bryson Sadama led Desert Oasis with 19 digs. Colin Bracchi had six kills, and Jacob Jaffe had four kills for the Diamondbacks (10-17).
Box scores:
Bishop Gorman 3, Shadow Ridge 1

How to Chill Out as the Market Melts Down
It appears as if everything is going to Hell. But, unrealized losses and value investing (and the recipe for a really great cocktail) are the solution to all your fears
The other day while I was in line at Chipotle, which is where I spend most days between 12:45 and 1 PM, and where I sometimes have the opportunity to gauge the collective worries of America, some woman flipped out about the stock market. "Is it still going down?" she asked me, after I mentioned to a friend that it was still going down. "God, we're all fucked!" she said.
America: Chill out. Have a cocktail.1 And stop thinking about your 401k. Why? It's fake money. Just because it has a dollar sign attached to it doesn't mean that's what it's worth.
Let's be clear: There are people who are in total anguish over the events of the last few days. These people are I-bankers, hedge-funders and gamblers. People whose livelihoods depend on getting better-than-average returns on a daily basis. This is not you, America, and it's not me, either. We are sensible people. All we want is to retire to a nice gated community with a communal tennis court someday. And times like this, when the New York Times is telling you that it's all downhill from here, it's important to remember: No, it's not.
I want to introduce you to something that I call the "Oh, cool" dogma. But first, let's get this out of the way: I'm not an economist, and I've never worked professionally as a stock broker. But I do have a picture of Paul Krugman in my bathroom, and I read a really good book about investing once (more on that later). I have a pretty solid, generally successful portfolio of my own. So here's how I think of news about the stock market: "Oh, cool."
About that book. A year ago, I bought The Intelligent Investor, or rather, an updated version of the 1949 classic by Benjamin Graham. The newer version is edited by Jason Zweig, a financial columnist for the Wall Street Journal. (Full disclosure: Jason is married to the sister of my second-cousin-once-removed's husband, and tentative though that may seem, we have had family dinners together.) Anyway, Graham's theory was built around value investing, which is how Warren Buffet— a student of Graham's—made billions. Value investing, if you're really good at it, and have a lot of time to comb through financial statements, means identifying companies that are undervalued, and buying them at that price. My version of value investing—that is, the short-on-time and short-on-cash version—means ignoring frantic revaluations of stocks and indes. And keeping in mind that just because a bunch of people decided to sell their shares of something—and just because the SP decided the U.S. isn't as hot as it used to be—doesn't mean you have to live with that version of things. That price will change tomorrow. And eventually, it will go up again.
Graham's favorite analogy was Mr. Market. Mr. Market is a greasy dude who comes to your door everyday and offers to buy your house. One day, he's like, Hey I'll give you 100k for this place! A few days later, he decides he wants to give you 50k. Did your house somehow become shittier by half? No, it's the same damned house. And if it's a good house, and you give it enough time, someday he's going to offer you more for it. That price he offered you today is considered an "unrealized loss." If you accept the price—that is, you decide to trust his judgment— the loss becomes realized. As in, you actually lose money. And the same goes for your stock portfolio. Right now, you haven't lost any money. Right now, you're just a guy sitting in his office with two twenties in his wallet, a couple thou in his checking account, and some crazy, fluctuating line graph on Schwab letterhead that bounces up and down everyday.
And over time, the one consistent thing about the stock market is that it has always ended up going higher. From 1910–2010, even including the Great Depression and the dotcom bubble and the housing bubble (and adjusted for inflation), the market rose an average 8.21 percent a year. This is 100% true. And those are my expectations: I just want to make 8.21 percent. That's better than the 2.35 percent I'll get on a five year CD, and it's better than the 1.5 percent I could get with a high-yield savings account. Of course, I hope I'll make more. Sometimes I fantasize about pulling off 10 percent, when all is said and done. But I fantasize about that like I do winning the lottery, or having the opportunity to say something really witty to Emmy Rossum. That is, probably won't happen.
Graham writes that the typical investor "would be better off if his stocks had no market quotation at all, for he would then be spared the mental anguish caused him by other person's mistakes of judgment." Zweig expands on this: "If, after checking the value of your stock portfolio at 1:24 pm, you feel compelled to check it all over again at 1:37 PM, ask yourself these questions:
· Did I call a real estate agent to check the market price of my house at 1:24 PM? Did I call back at 1:37 PM?
· If I had, would the price have changed? If it did, would I have rushed to sell my house?
· By not checking, or even knowing, the market price of my house from minute to minute, do I prevent its value from rising over time?"
This is the crux of the "Oh, cool," dogma. Tell me the market is crashing. I really don't care—all it means is that right now, a bunch of people got freaked out and threw away money. It means some lady in line at Chipotle opened up her eTrade App and unloaded a few hundred shares of GM right then and there. That means she lost. And when I get back to the office and buy GM at $24—value investing at its easiest—well, that means I win.
1. All that said, here's a drink I like to make. A couple of restaurants do a variation of it and call it what they want, but its real name, far as I can tell, is the Maple Leaf. It's best with a handful of crushed ice. 2 oz bourbon, 1/2 oz lemon juice, 1/2 oz maple syrup. Shake well with ice, and strain into glass with crushed ice. And stop worrying about some stupid, made up, arbitrary number.

Europe's oil industry faces massive environmental bill
Existing environmental legislation will oblige Europe's oil companies to invest US$10 billion by around the end of the century. But the figure could rise to over $70 billion if all the new measures under consideration were to be implemented.

WIP Wednesday - it's still wednesday for me anyway !
1. I finally finished piecing the top of that purple and grey quilt today. I'm very happy with how it turned out and that I'll be able to finish it tomorrow (or this weekend at the latest).
I was motivated to finish this one since I'll get paid once I'm done which means I can buy some fabric :)
(yeah because I decided that my fabric money was going to come from quilts/pillows I sell so I don't have to budget it which is a relief since I don't make millions and which also means that I just have to make quilt to buy fabric)
I've only got to piece the back, which shouldn't be long since I have a 2 yards cut of one print and a yard of another and I'll add white or grey solid to complete. I'm really hoping I can finish it tomorrow !
2. I finished my Modernista items. I'm really happy with how they both turned out ! I'm going to send them on Monday.. I hate going to the post office. I wish I lived closer.
3. I made another block for Elizabeth's quilt (no picture to prove it though) and I think I've got something like 20 people making blocks for me ! I can't wait to see them all together (and to receive the fabric I ordered for the back of the quilt.)
4. I started cutting fabric for another queen sized quilt. It's going to be another Supernova but in lime green and chocolate with light blue background. I'm using 9" squares so it should come together pretty fast.
5. I also started making those two pillows for my SIL. She finally settled on the Cathedral Window pattern.. I must say that it isn't as hard as it looks like but it's not that enjoyable either. Fortunately, one of the pillow is almost done (at least the cathedral window part) so I only have to make one more.
I'm not going to show you the picture I took because it's horrible.. it'll have to wait until tomorrow (or later, when I'm done).
6. I received this huge stack of fabric on Monday. (again, crappy picture. I'll take a better one tomorrow).
Do I need to tell you how excited I was ? I've been waiting for this collection since January !
It's for a quilt for my bed. I wanted to make a Retro Flower quilt but I don't think I feel like sewing curves just yet so for now, I don't have a pattern in mind. Maybe I'll just start making big wonky improv blocks ? (told ya I was obsessed with those)... I don't know. My mind is thinking about it each and every minute, I know it.
And that's about it. I have having so many projects at the same time. I feel rushed to finished them as fast as possible.
Oooo and I joined the Hope circle of do.Good.Stitches today ! I've become one of their stitchers. My month is December so you'll be seing bee blocks pretty soon :)
What have you been working on lately ? How many WIP do you have ?

I love that purple and gray quilt! It's amazing! I've always loved that pattern, but have never done it. What do you pay yourself per hour when making a quilt for someone? I wish I could find more people to make quilts for. ;) that's a great idea to use that for your fabric money.
I seriously love all your projects. I started you block last night. Thanks for the opportunity to do some improv! I agree it is a lot of fun!
I like you feel way to busy. Sound like you are making a ton of progress though. Good luck with everything! :)

Pentheus and Dionysus
1. In what ways are Pentheus and Dionysus different? In what ways are they similar? Pentheous and Dionysus are first cousins who remain different because one is a god and the other mortal. Pentheous is the headstrong mortal king of Thebes who uses strength and power and acts as a moral opposite the Dionysus who otherwise uses his ability to offer pleasure to his loyal followers. Both figures are spiteful and believe in revenge as a means to punish those who choose not to follow. 2. Why does Pentheus see Dionysus as a threat to civilisation?
Pentheus sees Dionysus the god of deviant instinctive passion as a threat to the mainstream, ordered old fashioned society that Pentheus resides over. 3. To whom is Dionysus dangerous? Basically any of those who don't follow the values and principles that Dionysus applies. Also those who refuse to recognise his power and divinity. He represents to have the power to level a city, not with his divine powers but by the insanity of his deranged followers. 4. Does Euripides' tragedy provoke criticism of Dionysus? I don't think it does entirely.
The criticism is not that of Dionysus, but of the community that allows him to pursue and influence it. It is more a criticism of the cult and Euripides demonstrates this with characters that interact with Dionysus. Pentheus who acts against him, Agave who follows him and the Bacchae who worship him. 5. The Bacchants was first performed in 406 BC. Briefly discuss the theoretical and historical context in which the play was first performed. In what ways might Euripides be using the myth in this context to reflect upon his view of Athenian and or Greek society?
The Bacchants was first performed to an audience who pride themselves on upholding the values of their society which had been founded on the morals of Apollo. In a time when war was rife, such as with Sparta i think Euripides uses Dionysus experience to voice his opinions on his Greek society and the political problems that they faced. Another political issue being the evolution of the role of females in greek society. Euripides, Bacchae, 373 – 375 S. L. Harris & G. Platzner, Classical Mythology fifth edition

No Blacks Allowed: The Game Calls Restaurant Racist After Being Denied Service For Tattoos Deemed "Too Threatening" To White Customers
First Oprah, now this!
The Game Denied Service From California Restaurant
Via Eonline reports:
The rapper was trying to grab some lunch at Houston's restaurant in Pasadena, Calif., earlier today, when he was denied service because of his tattoos.
According to the celeb's numerous tweets following the incident, he was told by one of the managers on duty that his ink was threatening to other people dining at the restaurant.
"NEVER eating @ Houston's restaurants as long as I live ! Denied service in Pasadena by mgr…because: I have tattoos on my arms ?!?," Game tweeted.
He added, "Its 90 degrees outside so I have a tank top on & the manager on duty says the tattoos on my arms are threatening 2 lunch customers…Racism still exists. SMH #DontEatAtHoustonsPasadena"
Fans of the celeb began tweeting up a storm as well, and threatened to boycott the restaurant with the hashtag "#DontEatAtHoustonsPasadena."
Game also mentioned that this wasn't the first time he's had an unpleasant run-in with the establishment: "2nd time I've been racially profiled at Houston's…Last time in Santa Monica, this time in Pasadena," he wrote.

This book is not an easy read. Perhaps no book about South Africa is, or will be for a long time to come. Its author, Joseph Lelyveld, now The New York Times bureau chief in London, is one of America's most respected journalists. Thus, the combination of subject matter and author virtually ensure that this is an important book, a book that will be well read in Washington, in academia and among those people seriously interested in the unfolding cataclysm of South Africa, which promises to be one of the great tragedies of the age. If, to many, it seems tragic enough already, one of the lessons of this book, expressed in a subtext of mood rather than open assertion, is that we haven't seen anything yet.
"Move Your Shadow" is based on two reporting tours in South Africa--a one-year stint ending in 1966 when the South African government gave Lelyveld the boot, and a return in 1980 that lasted three years. The 14-year gap didn't simply sharpen his perspective; it gave it the edge of a well-honed knife.
If there was one quality that characterized Lelyveld's South African reporting, it was utter, down-the-middle, unemotional fairness, a major achievement given the wrenching nature of the assignment. A typical appreciation was once offered me by a U.S. State Department Africa specialist (just retired from the Carter administration), who described Lelyveld's work as "the best international reporting I've seen for years." Lelyveld's objectivity lay at the center of this praise.
