Family Jeub consists of 15 persons

The father Chris, mother Vendi and their 13 children. The big family living in Monument, Colorado.

Some words come loaded with connotation. I think of deep words like Christian or love: the words themselves seldom do the meanings justice. They are better understood by observing–by showing, not telling. “Quiverfull” is one of these words. It is no surprise that shows like TLC’s John & Kate Plus 8 and the Dugger Family Show have done so well. Viewers are allowed a glimpse into the quiverfull life, to observe the claims in action. We finished our Reuters and CBS interviews last week. The picture above was taken by Rick Wilking who will also be doing the article on what it means to be “quiverfull” CBS plans to have a show (maybe even a few shows), the Jeubs being one of the families featured. These two media opportunities attempt to answer the question: What does “quiverfull” mean? I suppose a show is much better than an essay, but the question still deserves a rhetorical answer. This article will attempt to explain the quiverfull idea, at least what it means for the Jeubs. More images after the break...

Fortune Tellers / Total Stranger / She's Jivin' /Let Him Whine / All You Ever Do / Government Rules / Four Aces /Mama Is It Normal /She's a Shark / Hold the Thief / The Party's Over / Anyway.
Produced by M. Vernon.
The Scabs : G. Swinnen : vocals & rhythm guitar / W. Willy : lead guitars / F. Saenen : drums / F. Sijmons : bass.
Belgian's band with the highest degree of "rock & roll".
Started as a bunch of angry young men in 1982 and made a smashing knock on the door debut with a few singles and the mini-album "Here's to you Gang". The group was at the time most often compared with The Clash. After a less well-received second album "For all the wolf calls", the group starts searching for a new direction. This is found on the album "Skintight" and in the person of W. Willy "the Sir Keith of Richards of Belgian Rock music". Ironically the Scabs find their way to a much broader audience with the muted singles "Stay", "Halfway home" and the beautiful "Crystal Eyes". The albums however contain loud rocking music. The next two records get a gold status even before their release and the hits keep coming : "Don't you know", "Robbin' the liquor store", "Nothing on my radio", "She's jivin'", "Hard times", "Hard to forget" ... and a whole bunch of brilliant other songs. This is the second golden period of the Scabs. In 1992, they finally get another place at Torhout-Werchter after another very good album "Jumping the tracks" .
After 1993, it somehow seems to get more difficult to get their act together on album. Their live-reputation however remains untainted, and is recorded for their offspring on the double live album "Live dog".
The band keeps searching for the right combination. The 1993 album, produced by Mike Vernon, gets received also received very well. "Dog days are over" is the best Scabs album !
Willy Willy steps out of the band in 1994 and is replaced by the former guitarist of Clouseau, T. Berghmans.
This move prolongs their career for a good year and another good lp "Sunset over Wasteland", but doesn't manage to revitalize the band. At the end of 1996, G. Swinnen decides to call it a day and Belgiums finest rock band : The Scabs is no more. Source
PS: In 2007, the Scabs were reformed to reinterpret their album "Royalty in Exile" on stage with the same line-up that had recorded it. It seems that the band is touring in Belgium this summer. Please check the song "She's jivin'"!

The Nokia N97 : Beast Unveiled : A complete Review

Nokia E-series and N-series mobile phones have for a few years now had, by far, numerous capabilities than any other mobile phone out in the market - but they've not all of the time embodied to be the hottest or held the most encompassing mass appeal. Also, though Nokia sells many more smart phones than anybody else worldwide, they've not aimed or commercialized the US market to a great extent.

Nokia have got at last flaked the rubble and propelled onto the post-iPhone touch screen era. But whereas Apple borrowed quite a couple of UI elements from the Motorola Ming, and some other producers successively proved to imitate the iPhone look and feel, Nokia has considered a decidedly distinct approach path.

Pros of the nokia n97:
  • The keyboard is okey-dokey. They're not the most adept keyboard out in that respect and also there Is not umpteen tactile feedback from the keyboard as such.
  • The camera. is a very good 5 MP, dual LED flash one. It takes very nice pics, but why not utilize a single xenon flash instead I would really ask?
  • Looking for a specific contact is very engrossing with a fresh type of exploring that reminds of the SureType technology incorporated in the BlackBerry Pearl.
  • Google Maps -This mappings application is exactly as perfect on a n97 as elsewhere.
  • There's a courteous lock button on the side of the n97 that appears reasonably responsive (you can easily lock/unlock with a snap of your thumb).
  • 48 GB storage capacity so beneficial

Cons of the Nokia n97:
  • The touchscreen applies resistive technology and not capacitive technology like in the Apple iPhone. You'll have to apply the tip of your finger for most dependable response and not the bottom flesh of your thumb.
  • Zero iSync support.
  • The batery life on an n97 is like 24 hours.
  • The deficiency of an editing version for Quickoffice can really be a damper too.

Intensely focused, firey, livewire rock and roll with an insolent Finnish accent. Smack effortlessly filtered classic hard rock, garage, psych, glam, and punk sounds through Jim, Ig, Lou, and the Five back in an era when that wasn't at all hip or trendy or safe or bankable. At the time, NO ONE sounded like them. Hard as nails and raw as hell, but somehow hooky and tuneful amid all the ass kicking. The occasional mournful, haunting ballad was more like a funeral dirge. They wore their hearts on their sleeves, while bleeding all over you, your girlfriend, and your bathroom tiles. Smack is the early Rolling Stones to Hanoi Rocks' Beatles. Ugly and tough, but in a very sexy, very cool way. Smack had absolutely nothing in common with the bad-smelling elements of the LA hair-metal scene. Zero cheese factor. -darerock- (Smack Myspace)

Microsoft Soapbox to Shutdown

MSN will no longer offer Soapbox!! Soapbox was Microsoft's version of user generated video service and was also a part of MSN Video. Sadly it has met the grave and will be laid to rest on August 31, 2009. Microsoft Soapbox was considered to be the tech giant’s answer to Google’s most-popular video sharing service YouTube. The demise was announced via a formal e-mail a few minutes ago.

Microsoft hasn't completely backed out of the video sharing/streaming market though - as MSN Video will remain online. MSN Video gets roughly about 88 million unique visitors per month that translates to 480 million video streams a month. On the other hand Soapbox was getting a mere less than 5% of what MSN Video gets. So, it was quite obvious that the service need to be shut down. Hope Soapbox videos don't get listed on Irish buy and sell web site.

From 29th July 2009, users will NOT be able to upload any videos onto Soapbox and those folks who have uploaded videos earlier into their Soapbox account will have time until August 31, 2009 to download them. So maybe you need to download and upload onto youtube for greater prosperity!! I feel that the folks at Microsoft should have given an easy option for the SoapBox users to directly send the videos onto their MSN Videos account.

Simple difference between Java Beans and Enterprise Java Beans(EJB)

JavaBean - A Java Bean is a software component written in the Java programming language that conforms to the JavaBeans component specification. It is an API for objects which expose their properties via standard naming convention (getXXX(), setXXX(), isXXX()). These properties can be determined at runtime via reflection and introspection. For true JavaBeans, they should be Serializable and have a default constructor. The orginal intent was to make them easy for tooling (tools could discover their properties, expose them to configuration, etc.).

The JavaBeans APIs became part of the "core" Java APIs as of the 1.1 release of the JDK.

EJB - Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs) are Java-based software components that are built to comply with Java's EJB specification and run inside of an EJB container supplied by a J2EE provider. It is an "enterprise" api for distributed objects. Provides a standard approach to building such objects and allowing an EJB container (EJB application server) to manage the lifecycle of the beans. EJB's provide persistance, scalability, and distributed transaction support (via the container).

An EJB or an enterprise java container provides distributed application functionality such as transaction support, persistence and lifecycle management for the EJBs. Further Details about apache tomcat or simply tomcat server and JavaBeans can be found at Sun Java Tutorial.

There are a lot of benefits to taking into account this than to use a system like PayPal per se to set up your card-not-present account. Some of the best reasons why I feel that you must use your own service as compared to the Online ones are mainly pertaining to ease of use. It is more like using your own credit card machines when your client asks for processing their card.

Some very good advantages are like :
  • You can accept totally all leading credit cards as well as electronic checks, Internet auctions and gift cards.
  • You can also very easily forestall hoax - distinguish fishy transactions with value - added merchandises when you have your own processing set-up.
  • Also, you can set up the system to do either Real time or batch transaction processing of the Credit Cards.
  • Even you can set up Mobile Interfaces to work on card processing on the move.

You only need to have your own merchant account and that's it. Just run a web search and you'll come up with thousands of them. But approval can be hard and the fees will add together for a small business.

If you have an online business you will be able to use an online gateway which is fairly cheap. From there you will be able to accept all major credit cards. PayPal has a very good program in place but doesnot really work out well mainly due to high transaction or monthly fees that you are required to shell out.

Merchant Warehouse's cutting-edge innovation has been aptly named as MerchantWARE Mobile. MerchantWARE Mobile is basically a POS (point-of-sale) app that runs off mobile devices. It helps in providing merchants with the power to process credit and debit transactions instantly by accepting payments rather very innovatively on their Apple iPhone or iPod Touch. MerchantWARE Mobile is an idealistic for any merchant in the business. He could simply be a sales rep, or a cashier in a small store, or a vendor at a trade show or even simply a pizza delivery driver. A merchant exclusively needs to sign on for a merchant business relationship with the company, download/install the application program through Apple iTunes and establish a WiFi, Edge or a 3G network connection. That's all it takes now!!

THE SAINTS - All Fools day

THE SAINTS All fools day cd 1986 Mushroom 320 kbps
Just Like Fire Would / First Time / Hymn To Saint Jude / See You In Paradise / Love Or Imagination / Celtic Ballad / Empty Page / Big Hits (On The Underground) / How To Avoid Disaster / Blues On My Mind / Temple Of The Lord / All Fools Day.
Produced by Hugh Jones.
The Saints : C. Bailey : lead vocals, guitars with A. Larriza, R. Burgmann, I. Hay ...

Call this the second coming of the Saints, but the only thing this record has in common with previous Saints recordings is Chris Bailey . Still, it's a sharp, tuneful, and (ahem) mature work that shows Bailey's increasing confidence as a singer and songwriter. One listen to songs as grabbing as "Celtic Ballad" or the great "Just Like Fire Would" (which is kind of a neat pun) will convince you that despite the differences, the new Saints were a good band for completely different reasons than the old Saints.

THE SAINTS - A Little Madness To Be Free

THE SAINTS A Little Madness To Be Free lp/cd 1984 New Rose/Mushroom 320 kbps
Down The Drain / Walk Away / Photograph / The Hour / Angels / Imagination / It's Only Time / Someone To Tell Me / Ghost Ships / Heavy Metal (New Rose lp) / Wrapped up and blue (Mushroom lp + cd).
Produced by Lucas Debris.
The Saints : Chris Bailey : vocals, guitar with C. Burnahm , P. Bayly, M. Charles, A. Hamilton, S. Schinkle, F. Morphett, E. Kiss, I. Hay, R. Daniell & J. Hall.

On this album, the Saints shift gears yet again. A Little Madness to Be Free takes the band (which is actually just a vehicle for singer Chris Bailey at this point) in a denser more layered direction. This time, brass and strings dominate with lush acoustic guitars underneath. Obviously, any trace of the punk band that was, is gone. The power, however, remains. Like it's follow up, the devastating "All Fools day" this record explores the depths of irony, and the ironies of depth. Through exploration of the soul there is (musical at least) redemption. From the incredibly beautiful photo of a bay at sunset on the album cover, to the opening track, "Down the Drain," the tone is set. "Still I think it's better to stand out in the rain/ then go slipping on down the drain," Bailey sings. A melancholy rainy day vibe so damn gray it's vibrant.

You can't help but be transported by it. This is the kind of album that makes you think about stuff. Stuff you'd rather not think about, like, "what the hell have I done with my life." Somehow there is catharsis, so the end result is not an overall bummer. The somber and powerful, "Photograph" tells of a lost love, and the beautiful, "Angels" will leave you singing along ("we can't waste another day") to the point of wanting to play the track again.

The album concludes with one of Bailey's all time classic songs, "Ghostships," a track so amazing he went and put it on several more albums, re-recording it twice. While electric guitars are not the centerpiece of the sound here, the layers make for an equally powerful experience. Suprisngly, there are really no keyboards to speak of, which is very unusual for a non-guitar rock album. By this point in his career, Chris Bailey had come into his own as an arranger and it really shows. Certainly one of their most obscure discs, but ultimately as rewarding as the classics, "I'm Stranded", "Eternally Yours" and "All Fools Day". Allmusic
