If you ever find yourself caught between Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Taos, you may want to take a nice little detour to the famous self-sustaining artists' community known as Madrid.
First and foremost, do not confuse it with the other Madrid in Spain as the pronunciation is very different in northern New Mexico. If you are ever caught saying it the wrong way, be prepared to have one of the locals correct you immediately as they take pride in their own unique identity. You should consider this little community a staple in your monthly, seasonal or yearly travels as the atmosphere of Madrid changes with the seasons in all manner of wonderful ways.
Originally a mining town, it has grown into a major tourist attraction with shops, galleries and cafes of all types offering original works of art, handmade jewelry and unique clothing that exude the local essence of what's known as the Turquoise Trail while serving as a hallmark for broader regional representation of the southwestern United States.
While there, take your time visiting each of the places and absorb the nuances of the environment itself. Although you could spend an entire week taking in Madrid's many wonderful places to visit, here are ten suggestions for first-time visitors to the area.
1.RANGE WEST with Stone Artist Joshua Gannon - Madrid, New Mexico seems to be magnet for artists that are ready to remove themselves from the urban setting. Maybe it's the allure of the surrounding hills...the location (we're centered b/w Santa Fe and Albuquerque) ... or the quirky and often bizzare locals – made up of musicians, painters,writers, actors, builders, craftsmen, nurses, vagabonds and more. This makes for a deep well of talent from which Range West is able to pull the most prolific and established artists to exhibit in our gallery.
All the artists Range West showcases are Madrid residents and friends. The work is very diverse and the materials, even more so. Each artist has a story, and we help them tell it.
The avant-garde multi-artist John Cage has said "The best way to work is to empty out your head, to aim at nothing, to become the medium of a process that is almost outside of oneself." When artists get themselves out of the way, they make very authentic, instinctive work. We've tried to have the artists in the gallery represent this visceral kind of art. Something not coming from within but through the artist. The mood in the gallery is unpredictable because we follow the changing works of our artists. We hope you relate to their work and are surprised and moved in some way.
Do not forget to check out the beautifully sculpted wind chimes. You cannot possibly miss them as you walk into the gallery area itself. The harmonizing tones of the chimes will stop you dead in your tracks, making you pause to think twice about what is truly important in life within the spiritual matrix that is Madrid.
2. MAGGIE'S DINER from the movie "WILD HOGS" - When "WILD HOGS" came to Madrid, about half of the shots in Madrid were inside or outside Maggie's Diner. Maggie (Marisa Tome) is an independent woman running her diner as her only means of support. When the Wild Hogs stumble in bringing the Del Fuegos behind them everything spins out of control.
Maggie's is now a permanent part of Madrid though what to do in the building is not yet decided by it's new owners. Maggie's is the only Wild Hogs movie set still on main street. It is located next to the Great Madrid Gift Emporium, so come visit and enjoy.Come and see what Disney built.
3. JAVA JUNCTION - Enjoy one of many kinds of coffee, tea, or delicious bakery items and the one-of-kind ambiance that makes Madrid so special. This quaint Victorian Bed & Breakfast is located in a beautifully restored mining home in the heart of Madrid above the Java Junction gift and coffee shop.
Your night stay includes breakfast and coffee in the morning. Their continental breakfast offers fresh croissants, muffins, breads or breakfast burritos (a local New Mexican favorite) and, of course, fabulous coffees, espresso drinks and juices, all from our shop downstairs. And, of course, they have wireless internet.
Remember, "Bad Coffee Sucks" as they say at JAVA Junction. So take in the vast array of colorful hot sauces and novelty coffee mugs. Order a steaming cup of aromatic fresh brew and a warm chocolate croissant. Browse the t-shirts and western hats before choosing a patio table in the high desert sunshine. Just sit back and enjoy being part of the funky, eclectic, historic small-town atmosphere of Madrid.
4. THE GREAT MADRID GIFT EMPORIUM - Carrying the motto "Cheapest Silver West of the Pecos," this store features a huge selection of Navajo and Santo Domingo jewelry, Kachinas, pottery, and story tellers. Many gifts include ladies accessories and clothing. Soap rocks and collectibles are available seven days a week.
5. GHOST TOWN TRADING POST & LODGING - The store offers a great selection of Navajo, Santo Domingo, and Zuni jewelry along with rugs, kachinas, pottery, clothing and Russian boxes. Also available are Navajo bows & arrows, purses, hats, and soap rocks. Ghost Town Trading Post was "Frontier Gas Station" in the Disney movie production of "Wild Hogs" which was filmed here in Madrid in 2006.
Offereing Talvera, Native American Jewelry & Pottery, Clothing, it also has unique lodging services. Ghost Town Lodging is ideally located in the heart of Madrid and only 30 minutes from Santa Fe and 45 minutes to Albuquerque. It is situated behind Ghost Town Trading Post on a quiet side street, just off main street. The Lodging offers 800 sq.ft. of tiled floors and wood. Full kitchen/dining/lounge area, Satellite TV and a beautiful bedroom. The apartment also has a serene, quiet, secluded courtyard with private parking. A 2-minute walk to restaurants, shops and galleries.
6. COLOR & LIGHT - Located in Gypsy Plaza right across from the Mineshaft Tavern, COLOR & LIGHT is a gallery filled with the work of 38 artists whose works reflect the magic of life. The artists in the gallery are all living in New Mexico (except for one). Paintings, pottery, jewelry, The Best Selection of Cards, New Mexico Made Soap, prints, collage, and photography are included in this whimsical mix.
Artists exhibiting their works include the Hand Painted Photographs of Marilyn Conway, Norma Kwestel's Acrylic on Canvas, Peggy Engel's Assemblages of "found objects," Susan M. Kelly's series of Mixed Media and Collage, the Crystalline Glaze Pottery of Sunny Bueck with functional art at its very finest, just to name a few.
The name "color & light" was chosen because "this is why I moved here to New Mexico", states Suzy Kelly, owner. "There is a magic and special quality of light to simply BEING in New Mexico. The wide open spaces, the intense warmth of light that brings out all the colors of the rainbow, and the earth, this exquisite earth that is always around us - all of this has captured my heart!" We could not have said it better. It's captured our hearts too, Suzy.
7. GYPSY GEM - Located on the left side of Gypsy Alley around the corner from the Mineshaft Tavern, this "gem" of a find has very rare, native and collectable jewelry, pottery, iron, wood and more.
8. INDIGO GALLERY - If you are craving original Oil Paintings and Bronze Sculpture, then Jill Shwaiko is the artist you want to see. Featuring her amazing bronze rams posed in very proud yet comical scenarios, Indigo Gallery is located on the Turquoise Trail National Scenic Byway in Madrid, New Mexico, featuring nationally and internationally known artists in painting, sculpture, and jewelry.
You will not be able to avoid admiring the stout, mythical, spirited and humorous qualities characterized in this unique collection of bronze sculptured rams positioned strategically among the beautiful contemporary artwork and painting on display. Don't forget to visit the outer meditative scene in the back of the gallery. It's as if the rams themselves are communing with you in a state of tranquility and peace.
9. A WANDER OUT YONDER - Located on Gallery Row, it's as if Anne Marie Coughlin and Shelly Johnson were travelling cross-country, hit New Mexico and ran out of gas in Madrid. that may not be the total truth but you'll be very glad that they set up shop here in Marid. Anne Marie's tribal adornments and folk art mixed with the pop art enamel paintings of Shelly Johnson make for an original eclectic atmosphere.
Shelly Johnson's pop art enamel paintings feature twentieth century icons, political figures, musicians, spirituality, local characters, and imagery from her many travels. She has been painting since the late 80's and has shown throughout the country in various galleries, including canyon road in Santa Fe.
Anne Marie created a nomadic lifestyle for herself that included a practical, though alternative, livelihood as artist and trader. As a result of her experience and travels, she gained an understanding of the art of business. Over the years, she's expanded her journeys to include Africa and SE Asia. Anne Marie has contributed much of her energy into designing, creating and collecting her items. There have been many hours collaborating with her Balinese carvers and their families, with their cottage industries. These people have truly become her family as well as her partners. While her sense of adventure has never wavered, she has developed a deeper focus along her travels, a mission; To share culture thru art, to create a cross cultural experience, an understanding and a sense of connection between folks half way around the world.
Shelly and Anne Marie have been off-grid neighbors, friends and playing music together as the "Mailbox Roadrunners" for a number of years. Both very passionate about travel and art, decided that opening a gallery together was a way to combine their passions and to sustain their alternative livelihoods. Their gallery vision is original, eclectic, vibrant and welcoming. They both live their passions of painting, creating and playing music each day as they greet Madrid's many visitors from around the world. "A Wander Out Yonder" is a living gallery which will continue to transform and grow throughout the years to come.
10. HEAVEN BOUTIQUE - Featuring many lines of romantic and nostalgic clothing, hats and jewelry along with an array of magical angelic and fairy gifts and cards, you can find clothing with luscious details in burnt out silks, burnt out velvet, chiffon, velvets, hand beaded and hand crocheted.

- " The hostel is well-maintained, staff is great and a huge plus for the bunk beds with curtains & Western mattresses. However, what let us down (perhaps just bad luck), were the other guests. The bathroom was disgusting (pee everywhere) even though it was cleaned everyday. We felt harassed by some of the guests who seemed not to understand boundaries. As a female traveller, I would prefer to stay in an only-female dormitory. We had also booked a 4-bed dormitory, however were placed in a 6-bed one. "

New tally of stimulus dollars flowing into Minnesota
The nonprofit investigative news organization ProPublica has released its latest Recovery Tracker tally of stimulus spending in the United States. Why use ProPublica's numbers? Law doesn't require all recipients of stimulus money to report to the governments spending tracker, Recovery.gov.
ProPublica fills in those gaps (here's a full explanation of their methodology).
So where are we at? So far Minnesota has attracted just over $8 billion in recovery funds. And where is it all going? That's what I'm digging into now and I'm finding some interesting spending patterns and looking again at patterns identified by readers when I asked for volunteers to spend 15 minutes helping us cover stimulus spending in Minnesota.
While I'm slogging through the data, here's a county-by-county overview of stimulus dollars in Minnesota. Click on a county and see what kind of money is moving around there. The darker the shade of red, the more money that county has seen. I excluded Hennepin and Ramsey because they are the only counties to pass the $1 billion mark ($1 billion and just over $4.5f billion, respectively).
Be sure to check out ProPublica's complete stimulus coverage. Note: ProPublica provided this data before adding it to their own site. If you see a discrepancy in totals, that's why.

I started a new company last year. We create virtual reality software for the treatment of anxiety and phobia. Basically, you receive the same experience you would receive from a clinical psychologist. However, the therapy is delivered online at a fraction of the price a psychologist would charge you. We have received initial funding for the company and will launch late July or early August.
On Tuesday I'm pitching my company to an audience of 250 people that include angle investors and VC companies. There will be over 1Billion in investment dollars at the event.
Wish me luck!!!

Greendale task force recommends student-run anti-bullying group
Helping bullies see effects of their actions seen as key
Greendale - The Climate and Culture Taskforce would like to see a student-run group created to combat bullying at the high school and middle school, its members told the School Board on Monday.
The task force - comprising 25 students, faculty members and parents - has met three times since November. The group examined instances and locations of bullying via an online survey, the district's current policy and other school districts' strategies to mitigate and stop bullying.
The task force found that most instances of bullying happen away from faculty members and administrators, and that a large amount of bullying happens via social media websites such as Facebook and Twitter.
The proposed anti-bullying group models the Agents of Change organization at Wisconsin Lutheran High School. Agents of Change is a 100-member student group that focuses on promoting acceptance.
The proposed student-run group would use restorative justice techniques to help curb bullying. Restorative justice involves a face-to-face mediated discussion between the bully and victim. Members also would be trained to identify and speak out about bullying.
"Once the student sees the effect of their behavior, it enables them to change and see that the outcome is harmful," explained Sue Castro, co-chairman of the Climate and Culture Taskforce. "It might be the only opportunity that these kids have to see what we call positive reinforced behavior."
The group could potentially rival the size of Agents of Change at 100 students. While the task force recommends the group be put in place not only at the high school level, but also in the middle school, the group is still in its conceptual phase and needs to be approved by administrators before becoming a reality.
Emphasizing a need for broad representation in the group, Castro said: "We cannot only include the highfliers, the kids that are asked to contribute on everything. You have to include the students who don't have a voice."
An additional strategy may be to have the high school theater group create skits that promote character education development.
The task force's other recommendations were to have each school submit a climate and culture strategic plan each year, to train staff on spotting instances of bullying and to work closely with parent groups to curb bullying.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing how this plays out in our schools," School Board member Victoria McCormick said of the findings. "It takes a village to raise a child. It's all of us working together that helps children become the best they can be."

Don't Want to Wait 3 Months to Hear the New Album?
Donate by Midnight Tonight for Immediate Download
Howdy y'all!
Only a few hours left
of what's turned out to be an incredible funding campaign for our album,
Jump at the Sun
We've been blown away by everyone's generosity. So much so that we want to give everyone who has given to the album an extra gift to say
! But before we tell you about that, we wanted to share some exciting reviews that the new album has been getting. We figure you'd like to hear since you're such a big part of it!
Here's a preliminary review of a couple of tracks by the
Bluegrass Situation
, a popular online blog run by Ed Helms (yes, Andy from the Office):
"The banjo heavy 'Built These Walls' is a blue collar ballad we can all get behind, while 'Paint This Town' is a shine-fueled, fiddle-flying hoedown."
You can
stream the two songs HERE
check out this great review from Merlefest
, where we debuted many of the songs off the new album. Looks like they liked it!
Bonus Gift: Ireland E-Book
So as a
Thank You
to you all for being a part of the album, we want to gift all who contribute to the album a FREE E-Book download of Dan and Alex's recent trip to Ireland. The boys went out with a good friend who is a writer to scout our upcoming Scythian Fan Trip to Ireland in October (check out more info
), and as always happens in Ireland, came back with a hundred stories, some fact, some fiction. We'll let you sort out which are which!
The print version, available soon, is a coffee table-style travel book. Both the print and e-book editions are packed with beautiful pictures of magical Ireland, along with 13 short stories of the adventures we had. You'll see the stories behind two of the songs from the album, the title track
Jump at the Sun,
and the opening track,
Paint This Town
, and how they were directly inspired by their adventures. Other Scythian songs are featured in the book as well. If you've ever been to Ireland, you'll be reminded how Ireland sits snugly in the crease between myth and magic, peppered with the occasional true happenstance. If you haven't been to Ireland, well, consider this an introduction!

Give Now, Get TWO Bonus Gifts!
So if you haven't given, we invite you to be a part of our special 10th year. Lots of fun ways to be included, including an album listening party in DC and PA, a dinner date with the band, an exclusive album hoodie, and even a chance to be included in the liner notes as an Executive Producer!
Any and ALL
contributors, no matter how little, will get our
bonus pub album,
signed and sent to them (we will be recording it this Fall, thanks to your generosity!), as well as the E-Book.
And perhaps best of all, if you contribute today by midnight, you will get an

and here's what I've done to the Crosby's Compact for starters...please comment as I need more suggestions to help me make them look better!! The original plant had quite a tall rootball as it had been previously growing in a regular shaped pot but I was afraid to shock it even more by giving it a more severe root whack to fit an smaller one than this. It had stretched a little as you can see from the cuttings so I'll try and keep it more compact this time it already looks promising, but I'm not sure if the cuttings will improve given time...what do you think? Thanks for looking in. Gill UK |

Very nicely done! During the Summer just keep pinching away. 'Crosby's compact' responds so well to tip-pruning that those cuttings will be bushy in a season's time. Josh |
Looks great! Love that middle picture...nice and short, filling in very nicely :o) |
- Posted by greenclaws UKzone8a (My Page) on Thu, Mar 27, 14 at 17:17
Hi there Josh and Nancy, thanks for stopping by! I am amazed at how quickly this one has sprung back into life as it was completely leafless once I'd done the deed. I pinched out all the growing points on the cuttings so fingers crossed they will begin to fatten up. Trouble is with all this whacking, you end up with so many more plants! Gill UK |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Thu, Mar 27, 14 at 20:54
...yes, tossing cuttings into the compost pile is difficult, but has to be done eventually. I have no more room for cuttings, either. Interestingly, I whacked one of my 'Crosby's Compact' Jades at the beginning of Winter (eventhough I know it doesn't encourage the best growth). That Jade is coming along slowly. Last Summer, I took it upon me to pinch the growth on one of my sister's 'Crosby' Jades and that one is looking lush and full! I will post a pic. Josh |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Thu, Mar 27, 14 at 21:04
A shot of my sister's 'Crosby's Compact' that I pinched last Summer....not the best picture, but I'll get another at the earliest opportunity. I find that this variety colors up very well for us in cool northern California. Josh |
I couldn't see what you've got in that pot due to the beauty in the background! What a gorgeous view you have!! |
- Posted by greenclaws UKzone8a (My Page) on Fri, Mar 28, 14 at 12:56
Josh, that's looking good! Your sis' is indeed very lucky too have you around....I wish someone here grew the things I do, maybe that's telling me something? My Crosby's stayed rather dark in colour, showing deep greens/burgundy/red colouration especially in the colder months. So, you can imagine how pleased I am to see that the newly pruned mother plant shows those fresh bright leaves. Azpedsm, thank you for your comment, we like it too! Please check out my other recent Jade posts to see more of the views...and some more jades also. Gill UK |
- Posted by greenman28 NorCal 7b/8a (My Page) on Sat, Mar 29, 14 at 14:06
Thanks, Gill! I took a few more shots yesterday afternoon at my sister's. We've had some heavy rains and the plant is leaning hard....but it'll pull itself around. Now we need to fill in the backside. |

"Fabulous! Since it was just DH and I, I omitted the chicken and made shrimp instead, cooking them separately and adding to the finished dish. Accordingly, I used garlic and herb low-sodium broth rather than the chicken broth. Otherwise this was prepared as directed, and served with the suggested tomato, (Greek) yoghurt and coriander. Umm, marvellous, and so very simple, little effort required for an outstanding dish that I will certainly make again, I loved this pilaf. I had plenty, and used the rest of it the next night to accompany a vegetarian curry with a coconut milk base, equally delicious together! Thanks Juliet, for another keeper! Made for PAC Fall 2009"

Re:BK & Git (460 comments)
Indeed. Thanks for the correction.
BK & Git (460 comments)
You were 'forced' to start working on Git as a result of Jeremy Allison's reverse engineering of the BitKeeper protocol and Larry McVoy's hostile reaction.
At first you weren't too enchanted about the waste of time having to write your own DVSC system from scratch for lack of acceptable alternatives. I remember you complaining about that work preventing you to progress on the kernel.
Now Git is becoming the de-facto tool for source control management in most F/OSS communities and inside companies. That's another very successful project you fathered, and while I guess Mercurial or other projects would have existed anyway, the usage of Git on the kernel has demonstrated its reliability and its performance and traction have made DVCS'es gain visibility and market in no time.
Here come the questions:
* Are there any features you still miss from BK?
* As a happy Git user, I thank Jeremy Allison for his refusal to accept compromise and his tentative to create a Free BK client and I thank you for your refusal to accept a technically inferior/ill-suited solution like SVN. How do you reflect on this?
Re:OSGi is great (63 comments)
Re:OSGi is great (63 comments)
We have had different experiences. When I started using it, I definitely struggled many times with OSGi (or more like setting up some containers for my specific needs), but not any more than I did with any other 'advanced' framework (including JEE). But on the (full-OSGi) project I'm working on, OSGi is not costing us anything. We're doing agile development (Scrum) and we're very much feature driven. If we were wasting too much time fighting against OSGi, I'd totally agree with you. But we're not. And our team has members that are just "Java developers" that don't know the specifics of OSGi that much, but we integrated OSGi best practices into our coding guide and it's working well.
In fact, I think OSGi is costing us *less*, because for an application like the one we're developing that requires modularity, we would have ended up writing our own inferior, more expensive and most of all not standardized "plugin system". In fact, in my company there are many different kinds of modules systems that were previously developed and we can't easily exchange modules between those systems (developed for different projects, clients, etc). With OSGi, we can start to share more than just classes or jars. Good bundles do half the integration work.
Anyway I'm not trying to convince you. OSGi is no silver bullet, and it can be difficult in practice when you're plugging into legacy. But when it's working, then it's really nice. My non-OSGi inclined co-workers even grew to like it.
Re:OSGi is great (63 comments)
I do agree there's a problem with legacy Java code that makes use of features that are hardly reconcilable with OSGi. I think most of those libs that don't get along well with OSGi are doing something wrong, but sometimes they're trying to be too smart
A lot of Java projects are now OSGi-ready though. It's really taking off. I also agree that the tooling is not perfect yet, but it's improving. If you are using Eclipse, I recommend using BndTools rather than PDE. It's a lot less stressful.
In general, I believe the constraints clean programming in OSGi put on the developer lead to better design/architecture, cleaner separation of concerns, even if you're going to dump OSGi after that. But usually when you reach that point you usually get to like it: like coffee, it tastes bad at first. Unlike coffee though, there are too many ways to do OSGi wrong, because there's a lot of contradicting approaches around there. The common wisdom is to avoid the OSGi API when we can (it can be avoided if we don't have to register services dynamically or do framework-level stuff), but after that all hell breaks lose when it comes to testing, building, what editor to use etc. Too many dissenting voices make it long to find a non-intrusive way, but it exists!
Damn, I sound like a commercial, but really OSGi and DI are the only thing that made me enjoy Java. I disliked it before. Also, OSGi is a nice way to do mix polyglot JVM components and that's the "next big thing" (which is not novel at all, but all this has happened before, and will happen again...)
OSGi is great (63 comments)
OSGi and DI frameworks such as Google Guice are giving Java a new life. Of course 95% of Slashdot is stuck using Perl but thanks for your review (in fact I'm mostly replying here to compensate with the retarded posts). Sprint DM have been standardized in OSGi and renamed "OSGi Blueprint Services" and while I've not used them (because Declarative Services were enough for my needs and I never was a Spring user), I plan on checking them soon. A lot of people are using Spring and this is the way to get them interested in OSGi.
By the way, another great (but free/creative commons) book on OSGi is Neil Bartlett's "OSGi in Practice". I can't recommend it enough. Unfortunately, it's still in draft so some parts are not completed, but I learnt more about OSGi reading this book than any other resource I could find (printed or online), except maybe looking at the frameworks' code directly.
Re:Why the fuck bother (204 comments)
A branch of the Scala IDE for eclipse shows when there's an implicit conversion by underlining the converted expression. I guess this feature will come to other editors soon enough. Also, to have this conversion, you must have imported it (or its package object). The predefined conversions in scala.Predef are doing what you'd expect them to do and aren't very dangerous (much less, than say, built-in automatic conversion in some dynamic languages).
Implicit parameters are just like dynamic default values. Not a big deal really, especially since Scaladoc hides them by default, you don't even have to know they're here. But they open for a world of possibilities to change the behavior of an API.
In general, implicits in Scala are really a powerful tool and they're useful for API designers more than 'common' users. You said it's not about FP, but Scalaz which is the FP lib for Scala uses them to their fullest extent to replace class inheritance (considered harmful) altogether.
Re:No mention of X-platform (598 comments)
Being myself a Scala fan, I agree with you that it is painful that Sun did not make the JVM with language agnosticism in mind, and that is the main superiority of
Concerning type erasure, as it has been pointed out by my sibling-thread, it's a design choice. Scala also has adopted type erasure with generics. The other choice could have been made, that is encode type annotations for generics in the bytecode. There is nothing in the JVM preventing it to be done, since it can be done manually, the [alternative language] compiler can add the required info. In Scala, the choice has been made to mimics Java (and I guess, the more the generated code will look like Java, the more we will benefit from runtime optimizations). Thanks to Scala's very powerful syntax, there is a library called Manifest that automatically adds the type information and easily allows you to code as if there were no type erasure.
Still, I agree this feels like a weird rule, especially the first time you run into it. It is not the expected uniform behavior. The same goes will tail-call optimization that should be in the JVM (and should be in OpenJDK7), closures, etc. Generally speaking, the JVM should be a generic platform for languages exactly like the
But I am one of those guys who wouldn't run Scala on
You have done an impressive work with Mono. Don't you think the same effort could have been to make the [renamed] Java platform as generic and powerful at the
We both know the linked article is a joke and Mono doesn't seem to be gaining any real share. Sure, C# and
At the end of the day, I just regret the Mono vs Java situation created yet another division in the community. Of course, and I thank you for it, you are very much responsible for OpenJDK becoming free. And I agree that Sun's strategy regarding both licensing, evolution and genericity of the Java platform has been awful. Yet, right now, between the two, most free software enthusiasts would choose Java. There is no way to rewrite the past, but maybe there could be a way for a better outcome.
My questions (83 comments)
(1) Do you think Jazz could gain from a distributed model, like git does for source control management, where the repositories can be forked and kept synchronized upstream/downstream (a bit like a "progressive fork" where fixes can be shared but the project can be forked for various reasons)? I heard there is a git connector in incubation but it seems to me more than just code artifacts should be distributed. After enjoying the many benefits of distributed SCMs, it's hard to go back, and I think at least issue management could gain from the same model.
(2) Do you think creating your own SCM was the good decision, in opposition with using metadata in combination with SVN or git?
(3) Are there any plans to liberate Jazz under the EPL or another Free license, and do you believe Jazz can really gain enough traction as it is? There are plans to integrate Google Wave in the Eclipse Communications Framework by 2010, EGit is coming fast and has a lot of momentum among Eclipse developers, Mylin is getting better with every release, issue trackers are getting a lot better, continuous integration engines such as Hudson work really well... To me it looks like Free Software alternatives are going to beat Jazz at its game (not as well integrated at first), because this is typically software that companies want for free, and Free Software communities want Free Software (I know Jazz is gratis for Open Source projects).
(4) What's your opinion on the new wave of JVM languages such as Scala or Clojure? Did you try playing with them?
(5) Are you planning on participating in the development of E4? Regarding alternative JVM languages, there is a real need to refactor JDT to extract a "JVM-language" development tooling on which the specific Java - the language - tooling is built. The current architecture has been problematic to the development of good environments for alternative JVM languages (Groovy, Scala, JRuby,
Re:Developer tools - eclipse died in Debian (165 comments)
Anyway, Eclipse is one of those self-updating apps with its own package manager/provisioning platform (p2). It's not really designed to be installed as a shared program, unfortunately so. As a Debian user and Eclipse developer, I don't find it such a big deal to simply decompress the Eclipse archive in the home directly.
Re:Seperation of Church and State? Not in France? (890 comments)
Oh, you sound like a Redditer, sad (atheist that doesn't feel like trashing religious people here). I think you won't find a country where there is more separation of Church and State than France. The closest countries are Belgium and Turkey. In France no official swears on the Bible. In France at trials people swear on their honor, not on some mythological novel 9/10th of the population doesn't care about. In the United States it is about "all religions" OK in public, and in France about "no religion" in public.
In fact, this goes so far that there is a French word for it that has no exact English equivalent: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/La%C3%AFcit%C3%A9
I never figured why you "atheists" need to justify your lack of belief and disprove God's existence. Who gives a shit really? Over here in France, I have maybe met 10-15 true believers of my generation in my whole life, including a few who were simply insane.

Re:Why is multicore programming so hard? (256 comments)
I know it was partially true, I should remember not to be too lazy when posting on
Note that I was not talking about automatic parallelization which is indeed possible only with pure languages (and ghc is experimenting on it); but simply about the fact that is is easier to parallelize an application with immutable data structures since you need to care a lot less about synchronization. For instance, the Erlang actors model (also in other languages like Scala on the JVM) still requires the developer to define the tasks to be parallelized, yet immutable data structures make the developer's life a lot easier with respect to concurrent access and usually provide better performance.
My "It is true" was referring to "functional languages" which do usually privilege immutable data structures, not to Haskell or Lisp specifically (which as you said has many variants with mutable structures focused libraries). As you said, Clojure is itself a Lisp-1 and it does privilege immutable data structures and secure concurrent access with Refs/STM or agents. What is more interesting in the Clojure model (compared to Scala's, since they are often compared even though their differences, as functional languages and Java challengers on the JVM) is that it doesn't allow unsafe practices (all must be immutable except in variables local to a thread, etc).
Interesting times on the JVM indeed.
Re:Why is multicore programming so hard? (256 comments)
Haven't video game programmers been doing it forever, doing some things on the CPU, some on the graphics card?
The problem is shared-memory, not multi-processor or core itself. Graphics card have dedicated memory or reserve a chunk of the main memory.
And I heard functional languages like Lisp/Haskell are good at these multi-core tasks, is that true?
It is true, because they privilege immutable data structures which are safe to access concurrently.
Re:Install, did you say? (148 comments)
Because they are "Open Source" business-minded and not "Free Software" supporters, meaning they don't give a fuck about providing a full Free stack. I have come to the tragic conclusion that most Open Source contributors are now running Windows.
On the other hand, would they care to make their software Free if it weren't for the Open Source movement? At least we can port the best written software (if its core is not too tightly-coupled to Win32 APIs), so still better than nothing. The biggest problem is that it completely overshadowed the moral aspects of Free Software, which are now to of many corporate Open Source developers nothing but a joke under the pretense of pragmatism and practicality.
Re:Guesstimates? (409 comments)
So instead of telling developers to abandon tools which make their job and life easy, how about requesting Linux developers to make game development a little easier?
The problem is that there is no such thing as "Linux developers". Afaik, OpenGL is maintained by the OpenGL ARB and it looks it needs more support. I agree it is inferior to DirectX, however it is not by abandoning it that the solution will improve. Windows game developers are responsible for the situation by adopting DirectX and succumbing to Microsoft's charms so massively. It's Microsoft, everyone saw it coming.
Anyway, I was not talking about the quality of the API but the achievable end-results which are close to DirectX equivalents (the proof is that Wine translates DirectX to OpenGL and games don't end up looking so bad). I would rather have slightly worse looking games and having them run natively on Linux.
OpenGL ES is a strict subset of OpenGL and the UnrealEngine2 can run under Linux natively. The 3rd version doesn't run Linux/BSD yet (afaik) because I guess it is not a priority, but I don't see why it couldn't.
For being a developer on a cross-platform game (using SDL but knowing how to do it in a "lower-level" way with X / ALSA), I can assure that while it's not perfect, the sound & mouse events is a non-issue. It's only a matter of reading doc... of course the development environment could be better, but it won't happen magically: even in the best case scenario, it will happen gradually if games are release natively.

GCI Outdoor Bleacher-Back Stadium Seat
Pretty Comfortable
I've only used the chair once but it was for a 7 hour volleyball tournament. Easy to place on metal bleachers. Little to no movement. Great back support. Its so light weight that even my 7 year old daughter could carry it.
January 22, 2015
Not impressed.
If I could return it I would. The nylon straps don't hold so you really can't lean back. The seat isn't that cushiony either.
January 21, 2015
A very poor product for the price paid.
The seat is not at all comfortable. It shifts positions on the bleachers and does not provide sufficient support for the back. I am very disappointed with the product.
January 21, 2015
Bang For Your Buck
Great Product. I bought this for my wife because she is pregnant with our 3rd son and she was complaining about her back hurting every time she would sit in the bleachers watching our older son play basketball. No more complaining now
January 21, 2015
Light weight and comfortable
Folds up easily, lightweight and easy to carry. Fixes to stadium seats without difficulty
January 14, 2015
Great value
This chair is very lightweight and comfortable. The price is great as well. We use it for the many baseball games we are at watching our son play.
January 13, 2015
Good product for the money
Product is good for the money. Pretty sturdy and quality. But I would never buy fro Dicks Sporting goods online. Was they worse experience ever and had to call several times and then they ended up sending two to many and I had to return them
January 5, 2015
Great gift
It is a very sturdy seat and comfortable . Nice to have for those all day basketball games . Thought the price was very reasonable .
December 28, 2014
Great for photographers
I'm a sports photographer, and several of the sports I photograph require me to be sitting on the floor at the edge of the track, court or mat for an extended period of time. Sitting on hardwood with no back support isn't at all comfortable, so many of my colleagues use products like this for a little added comfort. I think this one is a little better than most for a few reasons.
1- The single buckle adjustment. The backrest is held in position by a single strap that loops all the way from one corner of the seat, around the back and back to the seat. This allows me to quickly and easily adjust the position of the backrest with a single hand, unlike other seats with a separate buckle on each side.
2- That single strap doubles as a shoulder strap for carrying, and because of the way that it attaches, picking it up by that strap automatically folds the seat and keeps it closed. There's also a little Velcro tab that holds it closed when not being carried.
3- It's VERY light. It's actually noticeably lighter than the 20 Oz water bottle I carry to games.
4- The metal tube frame seems to give it a bit more structure than some of the other chairs I've seen.
This certainly saves my back (and butt) at the end of a long day of shooting.
December 7, 2014
Great seat
Fits good on stadium bench. Seats good. Love the colors.
Very fast delivery.

Good luck cleaning it! Stay away from enamel. Go for good old cast iron! THAT is easy! Put the oven on self clean, and stick that in there. DONE!! |
Some of the old enameled pieces are awfully pretty... Maybe you'll have some luck on the antiques and collectible forums. |

Queen and Jasmine ... a Magical Birthday Trip
I can't tell you all how happy I am that I get to write another PTR! Few things in this world bring me as much joy as this, pathetic, I know For those of you who know us, we are thrilled you've joined us again, nothing feels better than knowing you have friends who have the same obsession as you and don't look at you and say "you're going again???", that irriates me beyond belief Why is it ok for people to go to the same place in Mexico every year, but we can't go to WDW At least here I know people will be as excited as I am I will take a quick minute here to introduce ourselves for those of you who don't know us. Me, Queenofallthings, mother to my beautiful 17 year old daughter Jasmine, I work for the largest financial institution in Canada and have for the past 23 years (I started when I was 12 and love everything Disney. Then there is my darling Jasmine, my partner in crime. Being a single mom for her entire life made for hard times but more wonderful times than I can even put to paper! She is a beautiful girl inside and out and I couldn't be happier with how she's grown into the lovely young, caring, responsible lady she is today. Now, my friends will tell you it's because I was crazy strict....crazy strict....when I look back even I can admit it now She graduated from High School on June 29 of this year and has decided she wants to work for a year and figure out what she wants to do with her life. She was toying with the idea of joining the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or our local City Police, but now she's not sure. Being a member of the RCMP you are stationed all over Canada, including the far reaches of the north, I think this might have been a factor in her thinking University next year might not be so bad! Here is a picture of the two of us before her graduation dinner! On to the PTR.... Our dates will be September 18 returning October 1. It works out to 13 nights because as we were planning our October 2nd return Jasmine realized that's her boyfriend's (Aladdin) 18th birthday!! Aladdin, unfortunately, will not be joining us on this trip, he starts College on September 9...he's taking electrical engineering! We are booked to stay at All Star Music, 10 day hopper passes and we upgraded from quick service free dining to the DDP. I was extremely optimistic that this trip was going to happen, however, didn't mention it to anyone! I decided if the stars aligned and we were able to go that I better book dining to take full advantage of the free dining...what's the use of having free dining if you can't get into any restaurants right? I have yet to book our flights as everything right now is quite high. We are looking at maybe trying Delta Airlines out of Winnipeg through Minneapolis and on to Orlando. Our other option will be Westjet out of Winnipeg through Toronto and onto Orlando. I will keep you posted on the flights, and I promise not to wait to the week before we leave to book them like I did for our January trip!! I know that was a cause of great anxiety amongst my Dis-friends I am still fine tuning the schedule of where we will go on which dates and will post that as soon as I have it finalized! I usually take the day off before we leave but this year I have already taken 3 week vacation so I have exactly 10 days left, so I will have to be super organized this year...I work until 530pm on the Friday and we will be leaving at either 6am or 11am on Saturday morning! Don't worry, again, those that know us know that I have my wonderful best friend who is an organized packing machine (she really needs to start a business doing this) so I will enlist her help on the Friday. Last trip she actually went to my house and had everything done by the time I got home from work I will leave it at that for now and will get to finalizing this schedule. Thanks again for jumping aboard our next adventure, I promise we won't disappoint
We Needed our own Personal Flurry....It's was HOT HOT HOT!!!!

Police seize pictures of human rights abuses instead of arresting the perpetrators of atrocities.
HARARE, Zimbabwe — An incident at a Harare art gallery last week starkly illustrated the problems besetting Zimbabwe's power-sharing government.
A photo exhibition showcasing gory pictures of victims of violence in the country's 2008 elections was confiscated by the police, later returned to the organizers after they secured a court order and then hidden when the police threatened a second raid. The police wanted to see written permission from everybody featured in the 65 pictures.
In the midst of this tussle, Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai formally opened the exhibit. A photo of him with a swollen face after a savage beating at a police station in March 2007 formed part of the display. Tsvangirai, who had instructed the minister responsible for the police to uphold the court order and return the pictures, said he felt sorrow not anger when he heard of the attempt to stifle the display.
"Anyone who believes they can deny the truth of our past is delusional," he said. "Covering up old wounds can only make them fester.
The seizure of the photos in Harare did not happen in isolation. In Bulawayo, Zimbabwe's second city, police last week jailed artist Owen Maseko, for exhibiting paintings depicting the Gukurahundi massacres, in which Mugabe and the army's Fifth Brigade are blamed for killing more than 10,000 Ndebele civilians. Maseko was held in jail for four nights before being released on bail. The art gallery owner was jailed for one night and the paintings have been seized.
The Mugabe government is giving a clear message. It does not want the public to see any evidence that suggests it has committed any human rights abuses. At the Harare art gallery, Tsvangirai spoke out against Mugabe's heavy-handed attempts to prevent Zimbabwe from knowing its own history.
"There is nothing new in this story," Tsvangirai pointed out. "It reminds us of the trauma we went through as a nation. The reason why we are having this inclusive government is because of our desire to end the suffering of our people and say never again should we see a repeat of this."
Tsvangirai said when he goes around the country he hears cries for revenge. "Forgiveness cannot happen in a vacuum," Tsvangirai said. "There can be no real forgiveness without justice."
Tsvangirai's remarks are timely. A delegation comprising ministers from both sides of the government of national unity is due to go to Europe where it will call for the removal of sanctions. This is Tsvangirai's main concession to Mugabe and he is pressing ahead with it despite resistance from within his own ranks.
Tsvangirai's Movement for Democratic Change is currently fashioning a parliamentary motion to name and shame those responsible for electoral violence. Mugabe's Zanu-PF members walked out when the roll-call of the accused was read out.

Afternoon News Feed: Mon, Nov 10
By Tom Miller
It's a brand new week but some things just haven't changed. San Francisco is not, as you can imagine, happy with the Proposition 8 results. They plan on taking this all the way to the State Supreme Court. Which is sort of where it all started. The Governator is involved now too, per KCRA.com
Some things don't sit well with the people at Babeland. Like how is it fair that people who voted last Tuesday got discounts on sex toys but some people couldn't use that discount because there's no store in their village, town, or municipality? So, they're extending their discount there to online purchases. So, if you wore your vibrator out celebrating the election, you can get 20% off of a new one.
But keeping those sex toys clean is a job in and of it self. Harsh chemicals might clean the surface but any residue might sting your sensitive bits a little. So Daily Bedpost has 10 easy steps to keeping your devices fresh and clean (maybe even minty).
What's the opposite of a sex toy? You know sometimes you want an anti-aphrodisiac, and Lemondrop has a few suggestions. Hot on the heels of a report that sexy TV makes teens crazy horny, Lemondrop recommends a few shows to get you out of the mood. And somehow Grey's Anatomy didn't make the cut. There is no kind of turn-off like a bunch of whiny, self-involved doctors.
While some of his brethren tries to downplay the carnal aspects of marriage, the Reverend Ed Young wants his married parishioners to do it more frequently. While the move seems a little gimmicky, the Dallas Morning News says that this is just Ed Young being Ed Young. You may remember the 30-day sex challenge that a Tampa-area pastor gave to his flock earlier this year.
He knows that sex can be for things other than procreation, right? Either way, according to the Guardian, there is a new screening that boosts the chance of conceiving via IVF by at least double. Essentially, they're able to more thoroughly test for defects that could prevent the embryo from 'taking' to the mother's womb.
And it's good to have options on the kid front because adopting is not easy. According to Jezebel, there is a glut of demand for the little orphans (600,000 women trying to adopt 129,000 little shavers) but a serious set of hurdles are in the way (only 8,000 kids caught adoption fever last year). C'mon, ya'll, give Liz Lemon a baby already.
