During my recent trip to Israel I visited many historical sites. One site that struck me was Masada (Hebrew for fortress). Masada embodies the spirit of Israel. It is located in the Southeastern part of Israel near the Dead Sea. Masada is both a historical site and symbol of Israel's current plight.
Israel finds itself a fortress in the Middle East surrounded by those wishing it harm, just as Masada was a safe haven and fortress for Sicarii rebels and Jewish families fleeing the Roman invasion and sacking of Jerusalem in 70 CE. Today many Jewish families are fleeing to Israel from places like Ethiopia, the Ukraine and Europe to find security.
Security is paramount to all Israelis. What many in America and the media do not understand, is how important security is to those living in Israel — including Arab Israelis. Dr. Reuven Hazan, director of the Political Science Department at Hebrew University, addressed us on the last day of my trip to Israel. Dr. Hazan explained that Israel consists of two camps. Both agree that security is paramount but each approaches the security issue differently. One camp believes that the land taken during the 1967 war is needed to provide a buffer against future attacks. The other believes the land must be returned to gain peace.
Over the short 64-year history of Israel there have been five conservative prime ministers according to Dr. Hazan. The most recent two are Ariel Sharon and Benjamin Netanyahu. Many believe that the two camps are separated by an insurmountable chasm on the issue of security. Dr. Hazan says that is not true. In fact one camp has been moving to the other camp's position that land for peace is a viable national security strategy. He pointed out that former Prime Minister Sharon unilaterally pulled out of Gaza and that current Prime Minister Netanyahu has publically embraced a two-state solution.
The question remains: Have these efforts made Israel more secure?
As I write this column, the Israeli Knesset has authorized the mobilization of defense force battalions to increase security on Israel's borders with Lebanon, Syria and Egypt. Israel has been struck by over 150 rockets fired from Gaza and the Egyptian Sinai in the past week alone.
Has Israel moved too far to one side at its great peril?
The Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty was signed March 26, 1979, in Washington, D.C., following the 1978 Camp David Accords. The Egypt-Israel treaty was signed by Egyptian President Anwar El Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and witnessed by President Jimmy Carter. Former Prime Minister Begin was a founder of the conservative Likud Party. He gave up the Sinai Peninsula in a land for peace agreement. Egyptian President Sadat was assassinated by the Muslim Brotherhood on October 6, 1981. Today, just 31 years later, the Muslim Brotherhood has control of both the Egyptian Parliament and the presidency. That peace treaty is in jeopardy.
Both camps have traded land for peace in one form or another since 1967. Peace remains elusive if not impossible. According to Dr. Hazan, Israel has no one to negotiate a peace treaty with today. The Palestinian Authority, led by Mahmoud Abbas, is not strong enough to insure an agreement is kept. HAMAS, led by Khaled Meshaal, is strong enough to insure a peace agreement is kept but will not enter into negotiations. HAMAS is the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine. The HAMAS charter calls for the destruction of Israel. Therefore the status quo of a nation under siege is the current security policy of Israel.
Israel is a modern day Masada.

The recession is still there in Canada. People in Canada are without jobs and the current unemployment in Canada is 7.5% leaving many Canadians including me are suffering in this worst economic crisis started since 2008. We have been suffering since 2008 and are on and off of the job. There is no job in Ontario and the Federal and Provincial Governments have no idea on how the Canadians are suffering.
Which economies have fared best and worst during the global financial crisis?
GDP growth rates slowed sharply in most rich economies in the second quarter. So where does that leave output relative to its level before the start of the financial crisis? If we rank the G7 countries according to the change in real GDP since the end of 2007, Canada tops the league. But Canada, like the United States, has a fast-growing population, whereas the number of Germans and Japanese has started to shrink. GDP per person is therefore a better measure of relative performance. As the chart below shows, by this gauge Canada is still 1% below its pre-crisis level and America is 3.5% down. Among the G7 countries only Germany has regained its end-2007 level. Comparing output now with its level before the crisis actually understates the depth of the slump. An alternative yardstick (see article) is to compare GDP per head now with what might have been expected if it had continued to grow at the same pace as during the ten years before the crisis. On this basis, even Germany has not yet caught up, and Ireland's income per head is now a painful 25% below its previous trend.

battery/starter problem 2003 chev ss
Hello, New member here! I have a 2003 chev ss pickup w/65k miles.Truck is not driven much, going through batteries? The starter sometimes keeps running after truck starts. On our third battery now? Shall we replace the starter and if so can someone tell me how big a job this is for someone with basic tools knowlege? Or should we take it to a shop?
Secondly I saw a recall notice for my vehical on the forum from 2004 GM, This is a brake booster releif valve problem limiting braking preasure! I noticed this problem a long time ago and called attention to my mechanic. Is this something I could still have an open recall on and could we take this to a GM dealer for repair at this late date?
01-23-2013, 09:52 AM #2I would replace the starter if it continues to run after it starts. It should be straight forward and easily done with basic tools. I think that the recall that you are talking about is for the hydro boost system. Do you have hydro boost on that truck? Look at the booster, does it have a vacuum line or power steering lines running to it. If you do have the hydro booster I would call a dealer and see if it is still covered. If you don't drive the vehicle much and keep going through batteries I suggest putting a battery tender on it while it sits. That should extend the life of your battery.

01-23-2013, 10:26 AM #3Your starter issue is probably the solenoid sticking, but unfortunately you cant just buy a solenoid anymore, you have to change the whole starter to solve this type problem. I'd replace the starter before it causes damage, the possibilities are a total battery melt down and fire or fried starter wires and battery cables. It could be a potentially serious situation if not corrected.
I believe the booster recall was a limited time recall but a stop at a local Chevy or GM dealer should be able to clear up if it pertains to you and if it's still active.

Mortarless Brick Technology
Novabrik International Inc.
Newark, Del. Now commercial contractors and architects have a more cost-effective, long-lasting alternative to brick for building exteriors. Novabrik is a mortarless brick technology that saves money on installation and never needs painting, prevents mold and won't warp, dent or fade. Novabrik's high-strength concrete bricks overlap and interlock to create a strong, water-resistant brick veneer. Novabrik can be installed on wood and steel studs and concrete structures. Because the bricks hang on the wall, no brick ledge or steel support is necessary. The installation cost of Novabrik is often 20 percent to 25 percent less than conventional masonry brick. www.novabrik.com

April 27 Letters to the Editor

Online sales taxes
EDITOR: I recently received an email from eBay's president urging me to tell Congress not to impose a sales tax burden for small online businesses. The eBay solution is: "Small businesses with less than 50 employees or less than $10 million in annual out-of-state sales should be exempt from the burden of collecting sales taxes nationwide."
How is that fair? Small brick-and-mortar stores have to collect sales taxes.
Nice try, eBay.

Marin's clean energy
EDITOR: Hunter Stern's commentary ("Two views on Sonoma Clean Power Proposal," Tuesday) contained a number of erroneous statements about Marin Clean Energy.
First, MCE procures more renewable and carbon-free energy than PG&E. MCE offers 50 percent or 100 percent renewable electricity (compared to PG&E's 20 percent). The California Energy Commission excludes large hydroelectric and nuclear power from the definition of renewable energy sources. PG&E's energy mix is 59 percent carbon-free; MCE's energy mix is 60 percent carbon-free and 100 percent carbon-free for customers who choose the 100 percent renewable option.
Second, MCE uses a mix of suppliers to ensure our customers get the cleanest electricity supply at affordable rates — which today are lower than PG&E's for many customers using MCE's 50 percent renewable product. Our supply includes local and in-state renewable energy generation developers and third-party suppliers, as well as renewable energy credits.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, RECs are "critical, effective and valuable instruments for expanding renewable energy across the U.S."
RECs are tied directly to certified renewable energy facilities supplying electricity to the western region electric grid. The Energy Commission counts them toward the percentage of renewable energy in a utility's portfolio. The purchase of RECs helps offset the costs and impacts of conventional electricity generation.
MCE also creates jobs in Marin and Richmond.
Chairman, Marin
Clean Energy
Graham's twisted logic
EDITOR: Regarding the Boston bomber, Sen. Lindsey Graham said, "The fact that we could not track him has to be fixed. It's people like this you don't want to let out of your site, and this was a mistake. I don't know if our laws are insufficient or the FBI failed, but we are at war with radical Islamists, and we need to up our game" ("Suspects may have planned more attacks," Monday).
In a statement on his website, Graham says he voted against the Manchin-Toomey gun background check amendment because "provisions would have been burdensome and difficult for citizens to comply with. In addition, it contained provisions making advertising a firearm in a community or church bulletin subject to the same processes as if buying from a licensed dealer."
Did the FBI get notice that these bombers bought guns? Maybe they got them unnoticed from a community or church bulletin since they are not burdened by the same processes as a licensed firearms dealer. Churches certainly should not be burdened when advertising guns for sale.
You have got to love Graham's pretzel logic.
Rip out parking meters
EDITOR: It amazes me that Santa Rosa city leaders can't figure out that what we need to do is not install high-tech parking meters but rip them all out and provide free parking in our downtown core ("SR revisits parking meters," Thursday").
I fail to understand why they are blind to the simple fact that parking meters harm the vitality of downtown Santa Rosa. The downtowns of Windsor, Healdsburg, Sonoma, Petaluma and Sebastopol do extremely well without penalizing their businesses and customers with unnecessary parking fees.
I challenge the city of Santa Rosa to stop nickel and diming its citizens and at the same time give downtown merchants a badly needed boost. It's time to get rid of the parking meters that keep so many people away from our wonderful downtown.
Santa Rosa
Never forget
EDITOR: Ah, how soon they forget.
The Alzheimer's Association of America, the Mayo Clinic, the Centers for Disease Control and other health organizations have told us repeatedly that cases of Alzheimer's disease have been steadily increasing over the years. How else do we explain recent polls that indicate President George W. Bush has a higher approval rating now than when he left office and this country in such a deplorable state in 2009?

This is a funny and charming movie that even though i'll probably never see it again, i enjoyed it.
Go see this film. It's a very tender and sweet story with alot of twists and turns and a terrific cast. It just borders onthe brink of shmaltz but doesn't cross it. Sweet little ditty of a film.
This was a very entertaining movie. John Malovich was perfect as the quirky mentalist who did what he did because he took great joy in giving his audience the best show possible. Everybody shoud care this much about whatever their task at hand. Colin Hanks ended up learning more about his himself and life from Buck Howard than he ever could have if he would have stayed in aw school. Tom Hanks was
why do the movie reviews in the newspapers always gush over small independent films.... if you read any of the chicago papers reviews of this film, you would think oscars all around.... so why was i bored stiff watching this film... kind of cute at times....tom hanks must have used a lot of his star power to get his kid the lead, and to get all the cameos from the various tv shows. but

Joomla Extensions
Macrotone Consulting creates Joomla extensions to meet business needs. These are generally available for public download and usage. Unless specified otherwise these extensions are released without any form of warranty. It is the responsibility of the user to ensure they meet the required need.
Versioning and current release schedule is show here.
There are specific 'Frequently Asked Questions' FAQs for the extensions and a general Support FAQ available.
Documentation links are available as web pages here, (PDF versions are here).
IP Mapping
This component plots the reported position of IP addresses upon Google maps. It comprises a full administration component and a couple of front end modules. Multiple map displays are possible. IP address may be obtained in a number of ways.
- Manual entry in the administration component
- Synchronisation with the Web Application Firewall log of Akeeba Admin Tools Pro
- Site visitor information collected via a configurable module.
Issue Tracker
The Macrotone Consulting Issue Tracker component is an example of what is often described as a trouble ticket system; a support ticket or incident ticket system; or a Helpdesk system. Issue tracking systems are commonly used in an organization's Customer Support / Call Centre to create, update, and resolve reported customer issues, or even issues reported by that organization's other employees.
An issue tracking system is similar to a "bug tracker", and often, a software company will sell both, and some bug trackers are capable of being used as an issue tracking system, and vice versa. Consistent use of an issue or Bug Tracking System is considered one of the "hallmarks of a good software team".
Password Control
As release Joomla only provides some rudimentary control of user's passwords. The basic Joomla authentication of the user's password is whether the two entries match. If they match the user can continue. Password Control tries to add some additional controls to improve site security.
The sh404sef installable plugin for Codingfish Discussions component 1.5 was built for our own usage and has been made available to the wider Joomla community.
Clean Lines Template
This template developed for our own usage is build specifically for Joomla 2.5. Build on the Beez 5 template it is available with five colour options and a fixed or fluid width. It is available in the download area.
I've installed the component on my Joomla 1.5.8. When I add a news menu and I select "Single Issue", the system print this error: "Unknown column 'published' in 'where clause' SQL=SELECT id AS id, issue_summary AS title FROM cnd_it_issues WHERE published=1"
Why? And how can do to display, user by user, their issue?

Issue Tracker is a Joomla 2.5 component. It will (and has) run on Joomla 1.7 as well, although it is not supported on that version.
Joomla 1.5 is out of support 1.5.8 is extremely old. Issue Tracker will not be back ported to that version of Joomla which is unsupported. It is strongly suggested that you upgrade your Joomla version to a supported version at your earliest opportunity.
That said the unknown column 'published' is certainly true since the column name is 'state'. I think the fix should have been in the last version 1.2.2 of Issue Tracker. That particular problem was resolved a long while ago. [The change is in the site/component/com_issuetracker/views/itissues/tmpl/default.xml file if you cannot upgrade your site for some reason.]
If you are on 2.5.8 and made a typo when you made your comment this Forum entry 'http://macrotoneconsulting.co.uk/index.php/12/225-error-while-trying-to-create-a-single-issue-menu-item' contains more details.Like 0

Quote(s) of the Day
Talent hits a target no one else can hit;
Genius hits a target no one else can see.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Study the past if you would define the future.
I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and every other good of man, public as well as private. This is my teaching, and if this is the doctrine which corrupts the youth, I am a mischievous person.

Oh and btw.....I CAN"T FREAKIN WAIT FOR THIS GAME!!!!! Demon Souls was awesome but this is gonna be just amazing compared to it.
Does the intro music remind anyone else if just alittle of something you'd here in Kingdom Hearts :D
I really hope that all the whining that has obviously gone down about Ds difficulty being too hard has not affected this game at all and they made this one even challenging. Ds really never was a hard game to beginning with. They say its more hard? i don't believe it when they show us these video clips where players soak up too many hits and still live...
Has anyone else noticed the move a lot of these videos have where the player drops from an area above the boss and hits it with a "slam down move" that drains almost half of their life? *mental note*
@KoLd_ChiLLz: Basically, yes. There were archstones at the beginning of each section of a level. For each section of a level there was a boss, after which you would get a new archstone to spawn at. If you die before reaching the next archstone, you respawn at the one you originally started at.
Damn you Dark Souls! with so many great games coming out in the next couple of months, I decided to skip on this one till after Xmas. The problem is that the more videos I watch of this game, the more I want to buy it. I dunno why I do this to myself! I'm probably gonna end up buying it on release date anyway....
The rambling dialogue of the narrator reminded me of Abed's Batman monologue. "If I stay, there can be no party. I must be out there in the night, staying vigilant. Wherever a party needs to be saved, I'm there. Wherever there are masks, wherever there's tomfoolery and joy, I'm there. But sometimes I'm not cause I'm out in the night, staying vigilant. Watching. Lurking. Running. Jumping. Hurtling. Sleeping. No, I can't sleep. You Sleep. I'm awake. I don't sleep. I don't blink. Am I bird? No. I'm a bat. I am Batman. Or am I? Yes, I am Batman. Happy Halloween."
My game collection is going to be neglected for quite some time when this comes out...
@Aphexuk Demon's Souls was bloody fantastic and should be an indicator for the quality of Dark Souls. I'll also be buying Skyrim, but I don't think either will be "better" than the other. They should be entirely different experiences.
@AceJakk Haha I was joking ! I think this game looks good , I just prefer Skyrim! Just because a game is hard doesn't mean its good!
@aphexuk We wouldn't hate you. It's not nice to judge people who are mentally handicapped. We will let you play your "Dark Souls" with training wheels entitled "Skyrim".
I was going to comment on how much better skyrim will be , but I don't want everyone to hate me!
Just how am I supposed to find the time to play skyrim when dark souls will be so fresh! What a great year for games :)
i can't wait for this freaken game even though i haven't even beat demons souls yet :(
The game of the year IMHO. If this is anything like Demon's Souls....best game ever!!!
1:34 Giant Amaterasu! But really, all jokes aside this game is going to be so great. Oh, and lol at that guy Smackpwn for trying to turn this into some kind of a CoD/Battlefield competition, get a life
skyrim = action game with no stats and extremely dumbed down rpg elements (linear skill tree only) dark souls = hardcore rpg modeled from games in the past, fullblown stat system and many many weapons and builds to choose from including spears (spears are hard amirite bethesda) and many FULL armor sets (atleast we have pants!) casual herb picker vs rpg of legends, easy choice for me, maybe not for this casual crowds
I love owning a special Xbox that lets me play both Dark Souls AND Skyrim. It must really suck for you guys owning a console that only lets you play one or the other.
Ill be picking this game up of coarse..How ever with that said..You guys who think this is better than oblivion or skyrim are just fan boys..Didnt see nothing special that would blow skyrim out of the water..Im sure ill have fun with it..As i said you guys who are lovers of this game are in denial that elder scrolls isnt as good as this game..Saw nothing special about it..Maybe later on in higher lvls it gets better..
Looks great, glad Kevin VanOrd is reviewing the game, his review for Demon's Souls was excellent.
Game looks great. I guess this will be the first game reviewed of all the games releasing on October 4th.
Looks promising! But I'm more excited for Rage on that day, I may keep my Dark SOuls copy for a day or two after.

How will Michigan's housing market fare in 2014?
One of the common traditions as we end one year and begin another is taking stock — reviewing where we've been and figuring out where we want to go in the New Year.
A good place to focus that review would be finances, and the prospects for the housing market.
A consumer credit forecast was released today that can give us a look into where Michigan's market may be headed in 2014.
Listen to the full interview above.

This is often done for aesthetic, usability, or search engine optimization (SEO) purposes.[1] Other reasons for designing a clean URL structure for a website or web service include ensuring that individual web resources remain under the same URL for years, which makes the World Wide Web a more stable and useful system,[2] and to make them memorable, logical, easy to type, human-centric, and long-lived.[3]
Examples of "unclean" versus "clean" URLs follow:
Unclean URL | Clean URL |
http://example.com/index.php?page=foo | http://example.com/foo |
http://example.com/index.php?page=consulting/marketing | http://example.com/consulting/marketing |
http://example.com/products?category=2&pid=25 | http://example.com/products/2/25 |
http://example.com/cgi-bin/feed.cgi?feed=news&frm=rss | http://example.com/news.rss |
http://example.com/services/index.jsp?category=legal&id=patents | http://example.com/services/legal/patents |
http://example.com/kb/index.php?cat=8&id=41 | http://example.com/kb/8/41 |
http://example.com/index.php?mod=profiles&id=193 | http://example.com/profiles/193 |
Reasoning and common practices[edit]
The most often cited reasons for using clean URLs is for search engine optimization, but clean URLs can also greatly improve usability and accessibility. Removing unnecessary parts simplifies URLs and makes them easier to type and remember.
The general format of an unclean URL involves a query string with implementation details, ids, illegible encodings, long names, etc.:
A clean URL should have all components legible, and in terms of the URI scheme have no query string, but only a hierarchical part, similar to a path with filename. The hierarchical components should reflect a logical structure, while the last component, called the slug, is analogous to the basename in a filename:
A fragment identifier can be included at the end, for references within a page, and should also be user-readable.
But there can also be different levels of cleanliness. Web developers usually recommend for usability and search engine optimization purposes to make URLs descriptive; so when planning the structure of clean URLs, webmasters often take this opportunity to include relevant keywords in the URL and remove irrelevant words from it. So common words like "the", "and", "an", "a", etc. are often stripped out to further trim down the URL while descriptive keywords are added to increase user-friendliness and improve search engine ranking.[1] This includes replacing hard-to-remember numerical IDs with the name of the resource it refers to. Similarly, it is common practice to replace cryptic variable names and parameters with friendly names or to simply do away with them altogether. Shorter URLs that do not contain any abbreviations or complex syntax that is unknown to the average user are less intimidating and contribute to overall usability.
A slug is the part of a URL which identifies a page using human-readable keywords.[4][5] It is usually the end part of the URL, which can be interpreted as the name of the resource, similar to the basename in a filename or the title of a page. The name is based on the use of the word slug in the news media to indicate a short name given to an article for internal use. For example, in
the slug is medical-patents. This can be generated automatically from a page title or specified manually.
If generated automatically, characters in the original title may be substituted to avoid percent-encoding due to restrictions on web URLs, and common words may be omitted to minimise the final length of the slug. It is common practice to make the slug all lowercase, accented characters are usually replaced by letters from the English alphabet, punctuation marks are generally removed, and long page titles may also be truncated to keep the final URL to a reasonable length. For example, "Nuts & Raisins in the News!" URL-encodes to Nuts%20%26%20Raisins%20in%20the%20News%21, but could have been simplified automatically to nuts-raisins-news. Automatically creating a slug from a title ("slugging") can be seen as a form of munging or wrangling. It often involves the use of regular expression substitutions. The whitespace separator may be replaced by a dash character or an underscore, as in snake_case or spinal-case.
Instead of automatic slugging, a slug can also be entered or altered manually so that while the page title remains designed for display and human readability, its slug may be optimized for brevity or for consumption by search engines.
Use of the "rel-tag" microformat (for tagging) requires a clean slug.[clarification needed]
Another aspect of clean URLs is that they do not contain implementation details of the underlying web application. For example, many URLs include the filename of a server-side script, such as "example.php", "example.asp" or "cgi-bin". Such details are irrelevant to the user and do not serve to identify the content, and make it harder to change the implementation of the server at a later date. For example, if a script "example.php" is rewritten in Python, URLs that include the name of the script have to change, but clean URLs that leave out such cruft stay the same -- Cool URIs don't change. Typically clean URLs use rewrite rules to select which script (if any) to run, rather than putting the name of the script in the URL.

865.386.6392; firstname.lastname@example.com
Paul K. Chappell, soldier turned peace leader, will speak at Maryville College on Fri., May 3 at 10 a.m. in the Samuel Tyndale Wilson Center for Campus Ministry.
The event is free and open to the public.
Chappell's message will focus on how war as we know it can end. His visit, which includes stops in Knoxville May 3-5, is sponsored by Veterans for Peace East Tennessee Chapter 166.
Widely published, Chappell's books include Will War Ever End?, Peaceful Revolution and his newest, The Art of Waging Peace.
"Paul Chappell is articulate, intelligent and passionate as he speaks about how to make peace in our world," said the Rev. Dr. Anne McKee, Maryville College campus minister. "He also brings the authenticity of someone who has served in the military and so can speak across the differences in audiences and experience."
Chappell, a 33-year-old retired Army captain who served in Iraq, left the Army in 2009 to devote his time to speaking, teaching and writing about the military and its future as an institution. The son of a Command Army Sergeant Major, Chappell is part African-American and part Korean. He is the author of the Road to Peace series, a seven-book series about waging peace, ending war, the art of living and what it means to be human. He currently serves as Peace Leadership Director for the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation in Santa Barbara, Calif. His website is www.peacefulrevolution.com
Among the peace leaders praising his work is Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who said Chappell "can help people everywhere understand why war must end, and how together we can end it."

After his mother is killed by a drunk driver, 17-year-old Will is shocked when he falls at first sight for beautiful Taryn at the funeral: "I am the king of bad timing. Only a monster could think of love." The teens meet again when Taryn's parents invite Will and his dad for dinner, and their immediate, all-encompassing connection begins to loosen Will's grief: "The fact that I love her makes it possible to exist." Photography and philosophy help, too, and Will shares his pictures (interspersed throughout the chapters) and meaningful quotes with Taryn, whose sensitivity contrasts starkly with Will's remote dad and resentful older brother. Still, Will's struggles with the weight of his loss and the resulting surge of existential questions threaten to sabotage everything that sustains him. Set in Melbourne, Australia, Hills' debut explores grief, first love, and first sex with poetic frankness that although occasionally mannered is also refreshing, whether Will is feeling suffocated by well-meaning neighbors or awestruck and alive as he imagines a map of the universe in Taryn's freckled face.

The Grizzled Scala Library is a general-purpose Scala library with a variety of different modules and packages. It's similar to the clapper.org Grizzled Python Library, only for Scala. (Duh.) It's roughly organized into subpackages that group different kinds of utility functions and classes. Currently, the library is broken into the following modules:
Currently, the library is broken into a number of modules:
: Some code that's useful when dealing with binarygrizzled.cmd
: A framework for building command interpreters, similar (in concept) to Python'scmd
: Helpers for Scala collections.grizzed.config
: An enhanced INI-style configuration parser, with support for include files and variable substitution.grizzled.file
: File-related utility functions.grizzled.io
: Some enhanced I/O functions and classes.grizzled.math
: Some simple math functions, including some common statistics functions.grizzled.net
: Network-related stuff, mostly Scala wrappers to simplify or extend the Javajava.net
: Classes that aid in certain kinds of parsing.grizzled.readline
: Front-end API for various readline-like libraries.grizzled.reflect
: Some utility functions to help with Scala reflection.grizzled.security
: Some utility front-ends tojava.security
: Useful string- and text-related functions.grizzled.string.template
: For substituting variable references within a string. Supports both ${var} (Unix-like) and %var% (Windows-like) syntaxes.grizzled.sys
: System-related utilities, akin to Python'ssys
: Miscellaneous utility functions and methods not otherwise categorized.
For a more detailed description of what's available, see the API documentation.
Grizzled Scala is published to the oss.sonatype.org
repository and automatically sync'd with the Maven Central Repository.
- Versions 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 supports Scala 2.10.
- Version 1.0.14 supports Scala 2.8.0, 2.8.1, 2.8.2, 2.9.0, 2.9.0-1, 2.9.1, 2.9.1-1 and 2.9.2.
Installing for Maven
If you're using Maven, just specify the artifact, and Maven will do the rest for you:
- Group ID:
- Artifact ID:
- Version:
(for Scala 2.9.2 or earlier),1.1.1
(for Scala 2.10-M7), or1.1.4
(for Scala 2.10) - Type:
For example:
For more information on using Maven and Scala, see Josh Suereth's Scala Maven Guide.
Using with SBT
If you're using SBT 0.7.x to compile your code, you can place the following line in your project file (i.e., the Scala file in your project/build/
val grizzled = "org.clapper" %% "grizzled-scala" % "1.0.14"
0.11.x and 0.12.x
If you're using SBT 0.11.x to compile your code, you can use the following line in your build.sbt
file (for Quick Configuration). If you're using an SBT 0.11.x Full Configuration, you're obviously smart enough to figure out what to do, on your own.
If you're using Scala 2.9.2 or earlier:
libraryDependencies += "org.clapper" %% "grizzled-scala" % "1.0.14"
If you're using Scala 2.10:
libraryDependencies += "org.clapper" % "grizzled-scala_2.10" % "1.1.4"
Grizzled Scala is also registered with Doug Tangren's excellent ls.implicit.ly catalog. If you use the ls
SBT plugin, you can install Grizzled Scala with
sbt> ls-install grizzled-scala
Source Code Repository
The source code for the Grizzled Scala Library is maintained on GitHub. To clone the repository, run this command:
git clone git://github.com/bmc/grizzled-scala.git
Building from Source
Building the Grizzled Scala Library requires SBT 0.11.1 or better. Install SBT, as described at the SBT web site. Then, assuming you have an sbt
shell script (or .BAT file, for Windows), run:
sbt compile test package
The resulting jar file will be under the top-level target
API Documentation
The Scaladoc-generated the API documentation is available locally. In addition, you can generate your own version with:

Traffic Noise, not too secure, many transients walking around the park begging for money all 4 days we were there. Very nice grounds, clean and well kept facility, close to everything, and the hotel staff, food, service was very good. A gamblers paradise, not long term camping that's for sure.

Quite a long run for shopping etc. but an absolutely lovely facility. Although office staff were somewhat difficult and rude, most full timers said they got used to their arrogance and their outside staff made up for their poor attitude. The location is along the desert wind tunnel and our lot was difficult to level due to the steepness along the wall, we managed with a purchase of lumber. Excellent Security, beautiful grounds, pools etc. Will definitely visit again.

Right on, WP. The JA Trio was hotter than ever. I'm thinking the next Stereophile recording should be: Live at HE 2008.
Stop and Smell the Music
I never miss the John Atkinson Trio's performances. I like to watch my friends play music and it's a great chance to bond with my fellow audiophiles for an hour or so. But this year wasn't like other years—the boys just flat-out smoked! Allen Perkins of Immedia, already one of my favorite drummers, has been studying with Peter Erskine for a few years and he has burned away any clutter (not that there was much) and is now even more purely him than ever. Bob Reina's regular gigging with Attention Screen has focused his strengths and, I suspect, freed him from having to express everything he has to say every time out. He's playing freer, looser, and tighter than ever. And JA (photographed here by Bob Deutsch), I suspect he's been woodshedding. With editing Stereophile, producing records, and measuring every component we review, where does he find the time?

Suppose you buy a nice place in the country, fix it up a little, then find out that the property is infested by alligators that wander onto your lot from the land next door. Is the neighboring landowner doing you wrong? And should they have to make it right?
That's the question facing the Mississippi Supreme Court this month. And according to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks, the answer is "No." State fish and game authorities say those gators don't belong to any landowner. They're under the protection of the state—and if you have a problem, you need to call the department.
The question comes up in a lawsuit filed by landowners Tom and Cassandra Christmas, who purchased a 35-acre Mississippi land parcel in 2003. In 2007, the Christmases cleared the land, built, and moved there. That's when they say they found out that the property next door (a refinery waste disposal site belonging to ExxonMobil) was home to a vigorous community of alligators.
The couple sued ExxonMobil in 2008, but the rambling gator case was dismissed in 2011, according to a story in the Biloxi Sun-Herald ("Analysis: Alligator suit before Miss. high court," by Jack Elliott). But an appeals court found for the Christmases, kicking the gator case back to the local judge and jury. ExxonMobil has appealed to the state Supreme Court.
The wildlife agency has filed a brief with the court claiming jurisdiction over any and all gators, wherever found and wherever bound. Wrote the agency, "Because wild alligators are the property of the state, and not subject to private ownership, private landowners have no duty to prevent them from causing damage to the land of neighboring property owners." Letting private parties sue one another over wild animals, the agency says, would muddy the waters in the swamp: "Private nuisance suits are incompatible with the department's exclusive authority to determine whether a wild alligator constitutes a nuisance and to take the appropriate action when it makes such a finding. Allowing such suits to proceed would result in a transfer of the department's regulatory authority over 'nuisance' alligators to the courts, which lack the expertise to make these types of decisions."
Alligators range widely across Gulf and southern Atlantic coastal states, experts say (see map). And although biologists have named the American gator after Mississippi, which lies at the center of the critter's range, Mississippi's gator problem pales next to Florida's. "The Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks says between 32,000 and 38,000 wild alligators live in Mississippi, with about 408,000 acres of habitat," the Sun-Herald reports. Florida, on the other hand, reportedly has about a million gators. And, as in Mississippi, troublesome gators in Florida are the state's business. The state contracts with licensed trappers to handle the "nuisance gators," and trappers catch as many as 8,000 a year, the Tampa Bay Tribune reported in 2012 ("Florida wants more gator trappers, but filling the jobs might be hard," by Craig Pittman).
If the call's an emergency—say, an 8-foot gator double-parked under your truck—trappers respond right away. If it's not an emergency, the trapper who gets the call has 45 days to deal with the situation—typically, by killing the animal. With so many gators running wild already, wildlife managers say there's not much point in trucking them around the landscape. But trappers also say there's not much profit in a dead gator. One trapper told the paper that he takes the carcasses to a processor who skins the animal and keeps the meat, while the trapper gets to keep the hide. But another trapper said he lives too far from the nearest processor to make the skin worth the drive. At this point, retired Navy captain Jim Righter said, he's not making money at the job. Righter, a former submarine captain who now sells real estate in Pensacola, told the Tribune: "It's something else to hunt."
Crocodiles? Now that's a whole different animal. There are only about 2,000 crocodiles in Florida, and the endangered crocs only prompt a couple hundred nuisance complaints a year, according to the Sun Sentinel (see "Crocodiles turning up in Broward, Palm Beach," by David Fleshler). Reports the paper: "While crocodile complaints have gone up, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission considers them little threat to the public and will relocate them only under certain circumstances. 'We're perfectly happy for a crocodile to be wherever they want to be,' said Lindsey Hord, coordinator of the nuisance alligator and crocodile program for the wildlife commission." The animals can bite, however. "Last year, a crocodile snatched a 65-pound dog off a sea wall in Key Largo," the Sun Sentinel reports, "an attack that biologists said was highly unusual."
But crocodile or alligator, don't take the law — or the alligator -- into your own hands, as one South Florida man learned in December (see WMAZ-TV story: "Man ticketed for trying to trade gator for beer," by Associated Press). State Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino told reporters that a man trapped a four-foot alligator, took it to a convenience store, and tried to trade the live gator for a 12-pack of beer. The clerk called authorities, the man received a citation, and the gator was released unharmed.
