Women Wakes From Five Year Coma, Asks For Bob Seger Tickets
Thursday, April 11, 2013
Back in 2011, a 79-year-old woman woke from a five-year coma and uttered nine words: "I want to go to a Bob Seger concert." Tonight (April 11th), Flint, Michigan native Evie Branan gets her wish. Ultimate Classic Rock reported that Branan and two of the healthcare workers helping her over the past two years will accompany her to tonight's Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band concert in Auburn Hills, Michigan at the Palace Of Auburn Hills. Thanks in part to her nursing home administrator Michelle Cross and the Seger management company, Punch Enterprises, Branan and her helpers will be taken to the show by limousine and following the concert, serve as Seger's guests of honor at the band's post-show dinner. Tonight's show will mark Evie Branan's fifth Seger concert.
Ann Tenbrusch, Punch Enterprises' executive assistant said, "(Her story) was definitely nothing I had heard before. I always want to try to help out with stories like that because Bob loves his fans. It's such a cool story I just wanted to help out in any way I could."
Bob Seger admits that staying near Detroit to live and raise his family proved to be among the best decisions of his life: "I don't think it was ever really a choice -- it was, like, where I lived and where I felt comfortable. By being in Detroit, I was able to keep it in perspective, and just work as much as I could, but also kind of have a life outside of it where I was grounded, and where people put me in my place."
Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band tour dates (subject to change):
April 11, 13 - Auburn Hills, MI - The Palace Of Auburn Hills
April 16 - Brooklyn, NY - Barclays Center
April 18 - Burgettstown, PA - First Niagara Pavilion

WASHINGTON, DC-- While underage drinking and drunk driving fatalities are at historic record low levels it is important to recognize there is still more that can be done. Today The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by distillers, recognized Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange with its 2012 Leadership Award. During his tenure as the top law enforcement officer for the state, General Strange has shown an outstanding commitment to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking.
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility has been a leader in addressing the issue of alcohol overconsumption on college campuses and has been honored to work with many amazing partners. During Alcohol Awareness Month this past April, Attorney General Strange joined The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility and LessThanUThink, a student led initiative to reduce binge drinking at The University of Alabama. Attorney General Strange joined students and basketball legend Dr. Shaquille O'Neal to highlight the dangers of binge drinking and the LessThanUThink Campaign.
Nationwide, trends in alcohol consumption among college students continue to slowly decline across all prevalence rates measured – from 1991 to 2011 annual consumption declined 12%, monthly alcohol consumption has declined 15% and binge drinking among college students has declined even more over this same period of time – down 16% from 43% to 36% in 2011. (Source: University of Michigan, Monitoring the Future, 2012)
As 64% of college students report binge drinking, it is clear that more attention to this important issue is needed. Attorney General Strange's leadership in Alabama on this issue has helped educate citizens, especially college students, on the dangers of binge drinking and effective ways to reduce it.
"Attorney General Strange's willingness to spend time on college campuses and talk with students about the issue of overconsumption of alcohol proves that he is a tireless advocate for the people of Alabama," said Ralph Blackman, President and CEO of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility. "The Attorney General's leadership on this issue has helped educate many on the dangers of overconsumption and we applaud his efforts."
About The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility is a national not-for-profit leader in the fight to eliminate drunk driving and underage drinking and is funded by the following distillers: Bacardi U.S.A., Inc.; Beam, Inc.; Brown-Forman; Constellation Brands, Inc.; DIAGEO; Hood River Distillers, Inc.; and Pernod Ricard USA. Headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility promotes responsible decision making regarding beverage alcohol and develops and implements innovative programs and public awareness campaigns which ignite action through strategic partnerships. Established in 1991, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility's initiatives are highlighted on its website at www.responsibility.org.

Dwarf White Sugar Snow Pea Seeds (P) Pkt of 160 seeds
Just 30 inches tall, these space-saving vines are really productive!
Easy to grow, peas love cold weather, so plant as soon as the soil can be worked in the spring. Direct-sow 1 to 2 inches apart and 1 to 1 1/2 inches deep. Peas are also ideal as a fall crop started in late summer. To conserve space and simplify harvesting, sow in double rows with a trellis between rows. Pkt is 2 ounces (160 seeds), which sows 10 to 12 feet of row.

|Item Form
|(P) Pkt of 160 seeds
|Days to Maturity
|Seeds Per Pack
|Plant Height
|2 ft 6 in
|Fruit Length
|2 in - 2.5 in
How to Sow Peas:
- Sow seeds outdoors as soon as the soil can be worked in early spring
- Bury them deeply in the soil at 1-2 inches
- Seeds will germinate in 7-10 days
- Sow successively every 10-14 days until 2 months before temperatures are above 75°
- In Zone 8 and warmer, sow in the fall for a winter crop
- Prior to sowing and to help with nitrogen fixation, dip the seeds in an innoculative solution of nitrogen-fixing bacteria
- It is not recommended to sow seeds indoors
- When sowing seed outdoors, we recommend a maximum planting depth of 4X the width of the seed
How to Grow Peas:
Spacing: Thin seedlings 1-2 inches apart. Space the dwarf varieties in rows 18-24 inches apart; space the vining types in rows 30-36 inches apart
Additional Care: The vining types need the support of a trellis system. Double rows of the vining types can be spaced 2-3 feet apart; the rows comprising the pairs should be spaced 30 inches apart and a trellis placed between them. This cool and humid weather crop should be grown in full sun in a fertile, sandy, rich, deep, well-drained soil. Plants will decline in the heat of summer
Appearance and Use:
These shrubby or vining plants bear white flowers that are followed by pods containing the edible, smooth or wrinkled Peas. Harvest them in the early morning when the pods are fully swollen. They should be filled out, but not bulging, and the seeds should not be hard. Snow Peas and Sugar Peas are grown for their edible, soft pods. Harvest them when young, succulent, and still flat. Pick all types regularly to keep the plants producing pods
About Peas:
Botanical name: Pisum sativum
Pronunciation: pe'sum sa-te'vum
Lifecycle: Perennial
Origination: Fabaceae; native to Eurasia
Superior Germination Through Superior SciencePark Seed offers some of the highest-quality vegetable and flower seeds available in the industry, and there are a number of reasons for this.
First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.
Superior Standards - University InspectedTo make sure we are providing the best seed product possible and that our customers will get the highest number of seedlings from every packet, we conduct our own germination testing and have quality-control measures in every stage of our seed-handling operation. We hold ourselves to standards that are at or above federal and state standards, including testing specific crops more frequently than recommended by federal guidelines. And in order to maintain our organic certification, we welcome Clemson University to inspect us annually to make sure our organic seeds, which are stored and processed separately, are being handled properly.
Hand Packed By Experienced TechniciansPark Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold StandardAnd many of our seeds are packed in our exclusive Fresh-Pak gold foil packets, which are lined to keep moisture out, so the seeds stay fresher for longer. We carefully pack very tiny or fragile seeds in crush-proof vials to ensure safe delivery to your home. Some of the small seeds are also offered as "pellets" (have a clay coating) to make sowing and growing easier. When it comes to the kinds of seeds we offer, we are constantly seeking something new and provide many unique and hard-to-find varieties from all around the world. Our on-staff horticulturists are ready and available to share their expertise to help you with the success of these seeds, so you can grow a beautiful and productive garden!
Does Park sell GMO's or treated seeds? It is important for our customers to know that Park Seed does not sell GMO or treated seed. We do buy a small amount of traditional hybrid seed from Seminis, a division of Monsanto Co., but that is all we purchase from them.
What are the differences between organic, heirloom, and hybrid seed?
Basically, organic seeds are seeds that are produced without the use and exposure to artificial/chemical fertilizers, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and other chemicals. They have to be grown, harvested, stored, and handled under very strict organic rules and procedures. All of our organic seeds are USDA 100% certified organic through Clemson University and the certificate has to be renewed yearly.
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
What are pelleted seeds? Why do you use them? How do I handle/sow them? Extremely small seed such as Petunias and Pentas are shipped as pelleted seed to make them easier to handle and sow. Pelleted seed are coated, usually with clay, to make them larger in size. After sowing, the coating will dissolve when wet and the seed will germinate. Pelleted seeds are shipped in vials placed inside seed packets, which protects them from being crushed. When sowing, be certain to use thoroughly moistened soil, to be sure that the clay coating absorbs enough moisture to dissolve. For sowing pelleted Petunia seeds, place the seeds directly on the soil surface and do not cover with soil, as light aids in the germination.
What is ideal temperature to germinate most seeds?
The ideal temperature to germinate most seeds is approximately 70 degrees F; give or take 1-2 degrees either way. This would be a good germination temperature for most flower and vegetable seeds and would be the most practical and feasible temperatures achieved for gardeners starting seeds in the home. You will notice for some seeds that it is recommended to use alternating day (warmer), night (cooler), temperatures, which is fine if one can provide such conditions. But most people are unable to provide those temperatures in a home setting, so just use the overall 70 degree F recommendation and the seeds should germinate well.
How long should grow lights be kept on per day and how close to the plants should the light be kept?
For germination and seedling/plant growth, you want to simulate the natural day-night cycles, and as a general rule, grow lights should be on 8-12 hours per day and off at night. You can vary this timing, as some seeds such as tomato, pepper, petunia, impatiens, and others, benefit from 14-17 hours of light per day (and the remainder of the 24 hour period in darkness). The most common grow lights used are fluorescent; using cool white, warm white, and wide-spectrum fluorescent tubes. These lights work well for germination and for growing plants up to a transplantable size. Fluorescent lights should be kept close though, 3-6 inches above the soil or the growing plants, adjusting the height as the plants grow.
How long will seeds keep in storage?
Park Seed stores seed in a special temperature- and humidity-controlled storage facility, which keeps seeds in excellent condition. Our seeds should be good for at least 1-2 years on average. Seed viability and storage time will vary depending on the seed item; some will keep a shorter time and some will keep longer. Seeds should be stored in a cool, dark, dry place. A basement will do (if not too humid), or a cool, dark room or closet. We recommend the best way to extend seed storage life is to store them in something air tight, such as a plastic zipper storage bag or canning jar, and place it in the refrigerator. This will extend the life of seeds for many years.
What is the best way to store seeds over a longer time period?
We recommend the best way to extend seed storage life is to store seeds in something air tight, such as a plastic zipper storage bag or canning jar, and place it in the refrigerator. This will extend the life of seeds for many years.
What depth should I sow various seeds?
When sowing seed outdoors, we recommend a maximum planting depth of 4X the width of the seed. When sowing seed indoors, the planting depth can be less, depending on the seed being sown, so it is always best to check specific directions. Here are some general guidelines concerning planting depth in relation to seed size: Tiny, dust-like seeds need to be sown on the surface of the growing medium or soil, uncovered, as they need light to germinate. The planting depth for small seed can be anywhere from barely covering, to 1/8-inch deep, to possibly 1/4-inch deep, depending on the recommendation. Medium seed should be planted at 1/4- to 1/2-inch deep, depending on the recommendation. Larger seeds can be planted 1-inch or deeper, depending on the recommendation.

On higher mileage vehicles, an engine misfire may develop and/or the Check Engine Light may illuminate due to a failed ignition coil. It is not uncommon to replace all the coils when the first one fails in order to prevent return trips to the repair shop.

Repairpal verified Lexus RX300 problems
Front Suspension Noise Due to Failed Support Bushing
The front suspension might make noise when going over bumps or rough roads. The support bushing for the suspension commonly needs to be replaced to correct this concern.
Check Engine Light Due to Faulty Pruge Solenoid
Intermittent failure of the purge control valve in the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system may cause the Check Engine Light light to illuminate.
Check Engine Light and Lack of Power Due to Failed Mass Air Flow Sensor
The Check Engine Light may illuminate because the mass air flow sensor sends incorrect information to the engine control computer. This can cause a loss of power on acceleration. A failed mass air flow sensor will require replacement.
Check Engine Light Due to Failed O2 Sensor
The Check Engine Light may come on because a component of the oxygen sensor stops working. Replacement of the failed sensor should correct this concern.
Low Engine Idle and/or Stalling Due to Dirty Idle Air Control Valve
Debris can get into the idle air control valve. This will restrict the air flow into the engine, causing idle speed and/or stalling when cold. The valve can be cleaned or replaced to correct this concern.
Excess Engine Oil Consumption
Sludge can build up in the engine because Lexus did not recommend frequent enough oil changes. Lexus will sometimes offer a discount on cleaning the engine if necessary. Owners who changed their oil every 3,000 miles did not experience these problems. This sludge build up can lead to excessive oil consumption.

Silkroad Online
Silkroad Online Overview
Silkroad Online offers little in the way of character customization, with only two available races (Asian and European) but makes up for this with the ability to access over 13 different classes. Players begin by choosing a weapon and armor type, customizing their characters to their individual liking, before later choosing a mastery with a pre-determined set of skills, spells and abilities. The innovative PvP/Profession system is a standout feature, allowing PvP fans to get involved in several different forms of player vs player combat.

Silkroad Online Review
By Cody 'Neramaar' Hargreaves
In ancient times, more than a thousand years past, the trade route known as the Silk Road was used to transport not only silk, as its name would imply, but also food, gems, knowledge, and even disease between Asia and Europe. Many believe that the Silk Road was the sole reason as to why many civilizations, such as China, Egypt, Indian, Persia and Rome advanced as quickly as they did. It was the foundation for the modern world as we know it, and is also a magnificent foundation for an MMO.
As you might have already guessed, Silkroad Online is a game based on exactly this story – although as one might expect, there is actually little story involved. You begin playing Silkroad Online by choosing to play as either Asian or European, but unlike many other games, you do not choose your class. Instead, you must choose both your preferred weapon and armor, such as swords and bows, or leather and mail. There is little in the way of actual character customization – a hugely disappointing aspect of Silkroad Online – meaning that many players will find doppelgangers roaming the world. The robust skill system however ensures that you will only be similar in appearance, as there are a lot of different class and weapon options.
At later levels in the game players are able to select a class mastery with a pre-designed set of skills determined by both their race and weapon choices. Players that choose the European path will have access to three different tiers. The melee tier allows players to choose the Warrior and Rogue Classes, the caster tier Warlock and Wizard, and the buffer tier Bard and Cleric. The Asian race choice is quite different, with on two tiers but several more calls options. Choosing Asian weapon mastery will give access to Bicheon Swordsmanship, Heuksal Spearmanship, and Pacheon Bowmanship, while force mastery allows choice between the Cold Force, Lightning Force, Fire Force, and Force Power classes.
Once you have finalized your character you will be faced with one of the most daunting experiences I have had in an MMO to date. You begin playing Silkroad Online by being placed at the back end of an enormous town, with the only form of tutorial being offered through a series of poorly translated quests. Miss the quest giver like I did, and you'll most likely be spending the next hour trying to find your way out of town. Not only is the tutorial greatly lacking in every way, but beginning the game without any form of introduction felt both abrupt, and unwelcome.
Silkroad Online is a very heavily grind-based MMORPG, meaning that you will spend the vast majority of your time playing killing random NPC monsters to gain in level. Having played Shaiya, Last Chaos, and Lineage 2 in the past – I've come to the conclusion that this playstyle is most definitely not for me. But for those that prefer grind-style gaming, Silkroad Online should work out well. From what I could tell through the poorly translated text found in the quests – most of them simply asked you to grind some more, and offered little in the way of an appropriate reward.
Fortunately Silkroad Online includes several different systems that help to make grinding more interesting, the most noticeable being the different types of experience that can be gained, and the different ways they affect each other. Put simply, there are two different types of experience in Silkroad Online, Level Experience and Skill Points. Level Experience works much the same as in all other MMOs, whereby killing enemies provides an increase in level and abilities. Once a new level has been achieved players are free to distribute stat points as they see fit, with 3 new points available per level.
Skill Points are used to increase your ability in individual skills as weapon types, and must be accumulated separately. Interestingly, players that choose not to spend their skill points will find that they will begin to accumulate much faster than before, although standard Level Experience accumulation will decrease in doing so. Thus, players can technically level up their skills and weapons much faster than normal, but doing so will require a lot of grinding.
Dying in SRO will also cause you to lose experience, adding once again to the sever grind that players must endure, but the unique berserk system helps players re-acquire lost experience much faster than normal. While fighting enemies players will slowly notice their 'berserk bar' filling up and when full can quite literally unleash the demon within. Doing so will not only turn your character into a red demon from the very pits of hell, but provide enormous bonuses to your attributes for a short period of time.
When it comes to grinding, there are only two things that truly annoy me, click-to-move navigation, and gigantic, bland environments. Unfortunately, Silkroad Online is comprised of both. The click-to-move navigation annoys me in SRO more than most mainly because of how inaccurate it is in find the best possible route to my destination – seeing me caught on a wall or rock on numerous different occasions. Luckily, due to the bland environments, this problem didn't affect me as much as it could have. Most of the areas in SRO look and feel the same, empty. You'll find the occasional tree or rock scattered throughout the endless plains, but nothing really immersive or interesting, which only adds to the repetitive grind-based nature of the game.
Luckily, Silkroad Online has one aspect that I greatly enjoyed, the PvP/Profession system in which the two are combined. Once you reach level 20 you are given the choice between one of three different professions, Merchant, Thief, or Hunter. Merchants travel the Silk Road carrying goods from one town to another to make a profit from the item mark-up. They pay Hunters to protect them from Thieves, who will try to kill them, steal their wares, and sell them. Hunters could of course choose to work with the Thieves helping to kill the merchants, and splitting the prize too. It's a rock, paper, scissors PvP and Profession system, and one that I have come to enjoy quite a bit.
Final Verdict: Good
Silkroad Online is a game that will please a very specific audience, one that takes particular interest in the unique PvP/Profession system. The majority of the game is bland, and the repetitive grind-based style of play won't attract many newcomers to the scene, but for those that are a fan of the style and are looking for something new, SRO might just be the thing you've been waiting for.

The Allman Brothers Band announces 'March Madness' Run
Thursday, January 3, 2013
Pre-sale tickets will go on sale tomorrow (Friday, January 4th) via American Express for the Allman Brothers Band's latest "March Madness" run at New York City's Beacon Theater. As it stands now, the band will play 10 nights between March 1st and 16th -- with more shows expected to be added should the initial dates sell out.
The Allmans' Beacon dates are: March 1st, 2nd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 12th, 13th, 15th, and 16th.
Gregg Allman says that simply put, the Beacon is the Allmans' home away from home: "This place is, I've learned so much here, and have had so many good times here -- some of 'em were kind of rough, but most of 'em were just fine, just wonderful. And this means a lot to the Brothers, because we love this place, I'm sure, as many other musicians do, also."
In addition to the "March Madness" Manhattan dates, the Allmans will perform on April 12th and 13th in New York City at Crossroads Guitar Festival at Madison Square Garden.
After that, the band will play on April 19th and 20th at Live Oak, Florida's Spirit Of The Suwannee Music Park.

Nice fit true size Back pockets are actual button pockets which is alright. Not much stretch but all together w decent pair of jeans. Would recommend especially at this price which was on sale January 13, 2015
Great look These jeans look and feel great! Easy to dress them up or wear with a favorite t shirt for a casual look. I highly recommend these jeans. January 3, 2015
fashionably correct thses jeans fit perfectly and i am extremely happy with them, as far as the material, I think the quality is really well made . December 29, 2013
Not entirely sold I'm not exactly sure where to go with this one. I've probably purchased over 50 pairs of jeans at Buckle either in-store or online over the past 6 years or so. I have owned many brands and have basically settled on two (well, according to my particular tastes): Rock Revival and Affliction. My favorite parts of both have been the style, and, more prominently, the thick, substantial material. Well, not so with these. I hope the company doesn't go the route of many before and start skimping on the thread count so to speak. These feel much cheaper and almost fragile? Just OK. September 29, 2013
Pretty Good Jeans I bought these jeans in-store and they are a bit lighter in color than they appear to be online. They have a nice fit, and are very comfortable. Only a few problems with these jeans: Even when washing them inside out, the leather Affliction label on the back still seems to wear on the tips. It isn't very noticeable though. Also, some of the threaded X's came loose, but just looping them back through and stitching them fixed it. Overall pretty good jeans. Would definitely recommend them. November 9, 2012

FeatureCollection is not a java.util.Collection
back in black
This page represents the current plan; for discussion please check the tracker link above.
History and Motivation
FeatureCollection needs to lighten up to be happy; the original FeatureCollection implementation was a java.util.Collection offering iterator based access to features stored in memory. When the data access layer was rewritten for DataStore the concept of a FeatureResults was introduced wich could be thought of as a "prepared statement" (able to fetch results each time it was asked). This is a nice light weight "streaming" model for data access that does not force us to load the data into memory.
The intension was to treat it a bit more like a Java ResultSet (so several iterators could be open against the same paged results). But the road to hell is paved with good intensions.
And the FeatureResults interface was in for some hell: 2.1.x Bring Back FeatureCollection was a last ditch community lead request to bring back the FeatureCollection api and allow iterators to be used (thus not existing current code). The compromise that was reached was to ask users to FeatureCollection.close( Iterator ) each iterator after use; so that we could still offer a nice streaming based approach to data access.
For GeoTools 2.5.x we made the migration to Java 5 and we could no longer allow FeatureCollection to implement java.util.Collection because of the new "for each" syntax did not offer a callback for us to close our iterators. Justin started Focus FeatureSource around FeatureReader and FeatureWriter, however all we had time for was the bare minimum to make Java 5 not a fatal opportunity for client code to leak memory.
Bring back FeatureResult
In the spirit of Bring Back FeatureCollection here is our last minuet 2.7.x request to complete the journey; formally recognise that FeatureCollection is not a java.util.Collection and turf Iterator access (and other concepts that mirror in memory storage).
Remove the Listeners
First up is the add/remove listeners; a recent code review shows that they are only implemented by the new JDBCNG FeatureCollection (because justin is apparently very responsible). Due to everyone else not being responsible we can safely remove these since no client code could of depended on being sent an event.
- Deprecated in 8.0.x
- Remove in 9.0.x
Asking for your feature collection to be "loaded" into a DefaultFeatureCollection is the currently documented way of avoiding all this streaming nonsense and loading your data into memory.
The result is documented to be a java.util.Collection that also implements FeatureCollection. This is the current migration path for those wishing to have an in memory collection.
We can offer this same migration path to anyone having trouble making the switch off iterator.
We may also wish to consider a different implementation for DefaultFeatureCollection:
- TreeSetFeatureCollection - is used currently and is slow
- ListFeatureCollection - is new and untested, but may be faster in day to day use?
- SpatialIndexFeatureCollection - cannot be modified once made; not a suitable replacement
Remove Iterator Methods
The following methods cover the care and feeding of Iterators:
We are removing the close(FeatureIterator) method as well as it already has a serviceable FeatureIterator.close() method (the method was only provided to ease transition to FeatureIterator).
- Deprecated in 8.0.x
- Remove in 9.0.x
Remove Collection Contents Methods
The following methods are used to update and modify the contents of an in memory Collection and do not fit with the "Prepaired Statement" model of a FeatureCollection.
- Deprecated in 8.0.x
- Remove in 9.0.x
getSchema and getDescriptor()
This is a long standing hole in the API, proposal written in response to questions from Ben: FeatureCollection Descriptor for FeatureMembers
It sounds like this is just an additional method:
May also consider making the api consistent?
- Commented out in GeoTools 8.0.x
- Added in GeoTools 9.0.x
What is Left?
Just focusing on SimpleFeatureCollection for expediency; you can imagine the proper superset:
- toArray methods are there on the off chance the implementation can provide a quick implementation? Is this another good intension? Probably. Could be replaced with a DataUtilities method
- subCollection & sort functionality have been covered by Query these days; and could be removed.
- contains and containsAll are interesting; would almost expect look up by FeatureId instead
- getID() is left from a time when FeatureCollection implemented Feature; it is still used when encoding
- getDescriptor is technically accurate; however we are used to working with FeatureType
- isEmpty() earns its keep; size() == 0 is not a replacement as you need to count the whole set
- with that in mind containsAll falls into the same idea; how to prevent a multi pass operation
- accepts earns its keep for Jody Garnett, Andrea Aime wants the javadocs cleaned up so it is obvious that the feature being visited is a Flyweight (ie the same object with just the values changing inside each time)
Option: Minimal
So the bare minimum that is functional is, if we want more we need to justify it:
Option: Preferred
Jody Garnett's preference: getSchema() out of habit, getID and getDescriptor seem to be user data to facility specific encoding/decoding tasks, I like the accepts method, and wish contains worked on one or more FeatureId.
This proposal is the subject of a grass roots revolution on the geotools-devel list; indeed the revolution is on going and will not be televised.
Voting has not started yet:
- Andrea Aime
- Ben Caradoc-Davies
- Christian Mueller
- Ian Turton
- Justin Deoliveira

Plant tour turns into energy talk During Shaheen visit at High Liner Foods in Portsmouth
Thursday, January 10, 2013
PORTSMOUTH — U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen renewed her call for a national strategy to boost energy efficiency Wednesday while visiting a seafood processing company in Portsmouth.
The company is also preparing to install a new 99 percent efficient gas boiler, and is evaluating the possibility of installing a large natural gas power generator on site that would create enough electricity for the entire processing plant.
During slowdowns in production, the generator could conceivably feed electricity back into the power grid, reducing costs for High Liner.
After the tour, Shaheen detailed some of the measures contained in Senate Bill 1000, the Energy Savings and Industrial Competition Act, for which she hopes to win support in Congress this year.
Sponsored by Shaheen, the bill was introduced on May 16, 2011, with the support of Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman.
The bill picked up two more sponsors — Democratic Sens. Chris Coons, of Delaware, and Mary Landrieu, of Louisiana — but didn't advance through the Senate.
Some provisions of the bill were signed into law Dec. 18, 2012, as part of separate legislation — the American Energy Manufacturing Technical Corrections Act.
Those measures are targeted at boosting energy efficiency in industrial buildings and government facilities.
Another section calls for the federal government to work with states to establish a revolving loan program to help finance energy efficiency upgrades.

Happy Birthday, Linda Rondstadt!!!
Monday, July 15, 2013
Happy Birthday to Linda Ronstadt, who turns 67 today (July 15th)!!! Despite being born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, Ronstadt came to embody the '70s California soft-rock sound, alongside such acts as the Eagles and Jackson Browne. Ronstadt will publish her autobiography, called Simple Dreams, on September 17th via Simon And Schuster. The book will chronicle her early years in Tucson, Arizona, her '70s super-stardom, her 1980's career on Broadway, recording standards -- and eventually Mexican folk music, all leading up to her 2009 retirement from the business.
Ronstadt, who is of Mexican and German heritage, first broke on the scene in 1967 with her group the Stone Poneys, who scored a Top 20 hit with "Different Drum," which was written by the Monkees' Mike Nesmith. Ronstadt went solo soon afterwards, and her initial solo back up band included Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner, who went on to become the Eagles.
Although Ronstadt did write some of her own music, all of her biggest hits were covers. Among her most famous hits were her versions of the Everly Brothers' "When Will I Be Loved," Martha Reeves & The Vandellas' "Heat Wave," Smokey Robinson & The Miracles' "The Tracks Of My Tears," Roy Orbison's "Blue Bayou," Chuck Berry's "Back In The U.S.A.," Buddy Holly's "It's So Easy," and the Rolling Stones' "Tumbling Dice." In the late 80's and early' 90s she scored hits with duets, with Aaron Neville on "I Don't Know Much," and with James Ingram on "Somewhere Out There."
In later years Ronstadt branched out into theatre, appearing on Broadway in Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates Of Penzance, recording a trio of standards albums with legendary arranger Nelson Riddle, doing two country albums with Dolly Parton and Emmylou Harris, and recording a trio of albums of traditional Mexican music and an album of lullabies.
Throughout the years, Ronstadt has been linked romantically to many high-profiled suitors, including then-California Governor Jerry Brown; musicians such as Gram Parsons and the Eagles' Don Henley; actors Bill Murray, Albert Brooks, and Jim Carrey; and director George Lucas.
As a single mother, Ronstadt has adopted two children, Carlos and Mary.
Ronstadt says that she has mixed emotions on her career, from the material she's chosen to release, to even how much performing she does: "My music has always been eighty percent private music and twenty percent what I did for the public, but the public part of it just became so dominant, and I. . . it didn't need to be that way. And I, y'know, I've done it, I've been on the road. I've had an unusually long career. Most people's careers (laughing), don't last as long as mine and nobody would want to, unless you're mentally imbalanced. Nobody would want to keep going out on the road. It's a horrible. . . it's not a nice existence. There's nothing natural about it."
Ronstadt's last album was her 2006 collaboration Adieu False Heart with Ann Savoy.
In May 2009 Ronstadt -- along with Smokey Robinson and merengue pioneer Juan Luis Guerra -- was awarded an honorary degree at Boston's Berklee School of Music's graduation.

Unlike UK, Ireland, Spain, USA Germany has a successfull prductive industrial sector and is not based on banking and real estate bubbles. Everybody buys German products. So 'crash'? Very unlikely. More likely that such 'successfull' countries like USA or Ireland going belly up.
Germany has a REALLY bad history of putting REALLY bad people into office..
I don't think that the Pirate party is good for Germany. It might sound delicious on paper, just as how Hitler sounded delicious on paper when he promised to eradicate Communism.. Heck, at the time, even many people in the USA thought Hitler would be the best thing since sliced bread because he was going to put so much pressure on Communist Russia.... but I think some of these radical parties have got additional agendas that they're going to push when they gain power that is hidden behind a cover of flowers and lies. Germans like to vote for the radical extremist underdogs, and history has shown that this isn't really such a great idea.. 9% for the Pirate Party.. That's scary..

The debt crisis in the EU periphery has already brought Germany's growth rate to a near stand-still and we are not even close to seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. (Italy is already in a downward spiral and France is tittering at the edge - the economies of these countries make the deficits of Ireland and Greece look like short change).
I mean to say... The German Pirate party is looking to do things like banning DRM and forcing people to use Open Source everywhere.. I don't think this is the right approach at all.. People should have a choice as to whether they want to run Open Source or DRM. You can't go around ramming this down people's throats as nothing good will ever come out of it..
I want to see people use non-DRM technologies and Open Source everywhere because it's BETTER and not because some Pirate party decides that they're going to force everybody to use it, whether they like it or not..
These radical parties focus so much on these ideals that they lose sight of the more important things.. It's not just about non-DRM or open source, it's about delivering quality software and features to people that the people like to use..
When you do things like killing off copyright and ramming open source / non-DRM tech down people's throats, it's more harm than good.. As you're taking away people's rights to choice.
2009: An enthusiastic 'That's where Obama is from, right!!??'
2010: A far less enthusiastic response about Obama being from Chicago.
2011: 'Isn't that where Michael Jordan basketball is from!?!'
( About a dozen people in the past week have brought up Michael Jordan, but only one stranger has even mentioned Obama. )
Michael Larabel
and you compare the pirates with Hitler LOL---
the pirate party is a worldwide movement ... and no German national movement.

Red Bean Steamed Buns
Red Bean Steamed Buns
Red Bean Steamed Buns – soft, fluffy and pillowy steamed buns filled with red beans. The buns are so good you will want them every day with coffee!!
This is my second creation using red bean paste. It's still amazing to me that I made three completely different Chinese desserts using just a can of red bean paste…it's such a versatile ingredient.
There are many different kinds of bao or steamed buns, but one of my absolute favorite is Tau Sar Bao (豆沙包). When I was little, my aunt used to make them for me. They were great afternoon snack for the family and I would watch and help her whenever she made them. She would knead the dough patiently–and wait for hours for it to rise–before it was ready for the filling. She told me that her secret ingredient was milk (instead of water for the dough), and that milk made the buns extra fragrant.
Other than that, her homemade red bean paste was very dark in color (almost black) with a smooth as silk texture. I learned from her that the darker the red bean paste, the better the taste and I couldn't agree more with her on that. One of these days, I will have to learn the secret recipe from her.
Anyway, here is my cheated version using canned red bean paste and off-the-shelf steamed bun mix. There is really not much of a recipe to share here as I just followed the instructions of the steamed bun mix, filled the dough with the red bean paste, and steamed. (Click here to see Steamy Kitchen's picture of the steamed bun mix.)
The red bean paste didn't ooze out of the steamed bun like a flowing lava but this is just as good as it gets.

we always wonder why red beans become really black(like charcoal) in color inside this thing. but yes it's excellent for those health conscious people who forever talk about fats and cholesterol and worry about (halal or not?). many also given as offerings to chinaman gods right, those with one or two colored dots here & there on top one?
:) I must admit, when I saw your post, I went 'yes, finally the recipe'… and then 'oh…' when I saw there wasn't one… I really love various baos and would love to have a recipe for making them. i shall have to look further on the internet.
nice pics, btw!
thanks for reminding me though
Your pau looks so beautiful and delicious. I love leng yong pau :)
yumyumyum….i want to come over and eat!
Red bean is one of my favorite sweet things…and I don't often like sweets. The yellow bean paste (similar taste) is also nice. I wonder what the difference is? It's almost identical (except for the color).
Ok, this seems do-able for the likes of me. I'll try it if I can find the ingredients…thanks!
Nice… I really like them but I have never tried red bean paste, it would be nice to try.
Suddenly I thought of the "cha shao pao" song and want to replace it by
what's next on the list? Red bean paste chinese pancake? ;p
BSG – I think the very dark tau sar does have pork lard in it…to make it extra silky smooth.
Maninas – sorry I didn't share the recipe. Just try to find the steamed bun mix and follow the instructions and use red bean paste as the filling, that's it. I threw away the packaging of the steamed bun mix so I can't remember the instructions anymore. Hehe. :P
Cooking Ninja – Lin Yong Pau is too sweet for my taste…I still prefer tau dar pao. ;)
Steamy Kitchen – do you notice that dim sum restaurants here don't serve tau sar bao? It's almost impossible to find them here…back in Malaysia, there are many steamed bun stalls that sell various kinds of baos with different fillings. Yum yum.
Elmo – yeah, yellow bean paste is similar in taste and texture, but I still prefer red bean paste. I think there is a slight difference in the taste if you pay enough attention to it. LOL. ;P
Anna – yes, finding the ingredients is the first steo to making these.
Orchidea – it's always great to discover new ingredients…do try this.
Tiga – aiya, you are too smart lah, you already bocor (Malay word for spilling) my secret liao. Hehe…I must say great (food) minds think alike. :)
I failed and would like to pass on the challenge to you and the partner in crime. Can you guys figure out what's in the 鳳凰流沙包? On the dimsum menu of Happy Valley restaurant ( just upgraded to my best Dim Sum in So. Cal list)at Rowland Height ? That was some heavenly good filing for a pau.
I have missed such beautiful things……..too bad…but anyway, i will come back ;-) UCLA was just amazing! Cheers
Mmmm….what's the third one? I'm guessing…Tong Yuen???
Hehe, sometimes we have to cheat when we are cooking. We are not perfect. I think the most important thing is that the food will taste good. And I think yours is definitely yummy. Gonna try playing cheating in making Red Bean Bun. hehe…
I'm glad you "spilled the beans" on this recipe (hehe!). I love red bean buns and this is a great way for me to make them quickly ;-)
We tried making steamed bao in our bamboo steamer but they don't come out all white and fluffy like the ones we see at the dim sum places. How was the color / texture for yours?
Those bao look so fluffy and delicious! I love steamed bao for breakfast. :)
I buy you Bamboo steamers, you make me Shiu Mai? Hahaha…Talk to you soon =p
Cooknengineer – it's salted egg yolk, that's the secret inside the 流沙包.
Claude – yes, do come back to LA and stay a few days longer so Melting Wok and I can take you to some good places to eat. ;)
WMW – No lah…I will reveal it soon. ;)
Cutie – I agree, I always cheat…who has time to cook everything from scratch. As long as it tastes good and authentic, it's OK to cheat. :P
Wok and Spoon – Haha, I have another bean to spill…my third recipe…stay tuned.
Nate 2.0 – I agree, it's not as fluffy and white as the ones in the restaurant. First of all, restaurant uses bleached flour, hence they are white, as to fluffiness, I guess they knead the dough a lot or the restaurant steamers are very big? I don't know. LOL.
Amy – yes, steamed boas for breakfast or late-night supper is good.
Unka – Shui Mai ar…sap sap shui lah….next time I make. :)
Better watch it with that bean paste, or your hubby will get chubby, just like me. =D
after i c the interview of Kwong Hwa, I quickly cum n c n get many useful recipe ya it's a good website…
This looks delicious. I usually order this at dim sum when it's available.
