John L. Allen Jr. is associate editor of The Boston Globe after 16 years as the prize-winning Senior Correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter. He also serves as the Senior Vatican Analyst for CNN. He's the author of seven best-selling books on the Vatican and Catholic affairs, and writes frequently on the Church for major national and international publications. He's also a popular speaker on Catholic affairs, both in the United States and abroad.
The London Tablet has called Allen "the most authoritative writer on Vatican affairs in the English language," and renowned papal biographer George Weigel has called him "the best Anglophone Vatican reporter ever." When Allen was called upon to put the first question to Pope Benedict XVI aboard the papal plane en route to the United States in April 2008, the Vatican spokesperson said to the pope: "Holy Father, this man needs no introduction." That's not just a Vatican judgment. Veteran religion writer Kenneth Woodward of Newsweek described Allen as "the journalist other reporters – and not a few cardinals – look to for the inside story on how all the pope's men direct the world's largest church."
Allen's work is admired across ideological divides. Liberal commentator Fr. Andrew Greeley calls his writing "indispensable," while the late Fr. Richard John Neuhaus, a conservative, called Allen's reporting "possibly the best source of information on the Vatican published in the United States." His weekly internet column, "All Things Catholic," is widely read as a source of insight on the global Church.
Allen's most recent book is The Global War on Christians: Dispatches from the Front Lines of Anti-Christian Persecution. John divides his time between Rome and his home in Denver, Colorado. He grew up in Western Kansas, and holds a Master's degree in Religious Studies from the University of Kansas.

About ECM
October 18 , 2013
Reviews of the Week
A German reviewer is impressed by András Schiffs choice of period instruments as well as his interpretive approach on the pianists recording of the
Diabelli Variationen
by Ludwig van Beethoven
Das Ergebnis ist ein höchst bedenkenswertes Hörexperiment und ein starkes Plädoyer wider die, wie Schiff im Hinblick auf die heutige Steinway-Dominanz meint, unglückliche Globalisierung in der Klaviermusik unserer Tage. [ ] Was zumindest der semi-historischen Bechstein-Aufnahme im Vergleich mit der Katalogkonkurrenz einen Spitzenplatz sichert, ist die musterhaft genaue, individuelle Spielmanieren ausklammernde Textrealisierung in Verbindung mit einem ausgewogenen und erfüllten Musizieren, das einen goldenen Mittelweg zwischen Pathos und Philologie hält. Auch ein Vergleich mit der 2007 im Rahmen seines Beethoven-Zyklus für ECM entstandenen Aufzeichnung des op 111 bestätigt den neuen Zuwachs an harmonischer Geschlossenheit im Spiel Schiffs.

UK classical music magazine Gramophone on Michelle Makarski and Keiths Jarretts recording of
Six Sonatas for Violin and Piano
by Johann Sebastian Bach
Keith Jarrett long ago established that he does not come to Bach with any kind of agenda other than to represent the music as unpretentiously and respectfully as he can. His is not jazzmans Bach; indeed he has said that Bach (which he learnt to play before he took up jazz) is for him a release, an opportunity to worry less about projecting his own personality than that of the composer. The evidence of this recording of Bachs six wondrous sonatas for keyboard and violin, in which he is joined by Michelle Makarski, the American violinist with whom he has worked before on pieces of his own, is that nothing has changed in his attitude. Thre is nothing gimmicky here: from Jarrett come soft hands producing clear textures, well-judged tempi and precise but never fussy articulation; from Makarski stylish and musical playing, Baroque in its low vibrato and relaxed tone but with still a touch of modern sweetness to the sound. The air of two fine and technically well-equipped musicians happy to give themselves up to music which is more than capable of speaking for itself is near-total: slow movements are quietly dignified [...] while fast ones are allowed to build impressive heads of steam out of their own resources with perfect naturalness. [...] for its cool beauty and unaffected honesty, this recording is one that will be very easy to live with.
Lindsay Kemp, Gramophone
Acclaim from England and Germany for
Shadow Man
, the new album by Tim Bernes Snakeoil
Composer-saxophonist Tim Bernes acoustic quartet Snakeoil was greeted with almost universal praise for the self-titled release of their first album in 2012. With such an enthusiastic reception of the debut album, the second album needed to rise to the enormous expectationsand it has done just that. It has been said that Snakeoil is a band that loves to rehearse, developing and honing Bernes exacting compositions to the point of second nature. For musicians such as Berne (alto saxophone), Oscar Noriega (clarinet and bass clarinet), Matt Mitchell (piano, keyboards) and Ches Smith (drums, vibes and percussion), perfection is not enough; it must be perfection-at-ease. It is exactitude and precision that has disciplined to the point where freedom and improvisation can be trusted. [...] With that trust, Berne can compose for his fellow musicians with complete confidence and no restrictions. Those compositions are excruciating in their demand but these four have taken complete ownership of the pieces.
Travis Rogers, Jazz Times
Verblüffend, wie dieses Quartett frei improvisierte und streng durchkomponierte Passagen, hysterische Lärmattacken und lyrische Klangflächen so organisch verbindet, dass auch längere Stücke nie an Spannung verlieren.
Bernhard Jugel, B5 aktuell
More international reviews applaud the interplay of Ralph Towner, Wolfgang Muthspiel and Slava Grigoryan on
Travel Guide
Since they first made festival appearances together in 2005 and recorded From a Dream in 2009, the guitar trio of American Ralph Towner, Austrian Wolfgang Muthspiel, and Kazhak Slava Grigoryan, has shown a remarkable sense of discipline, subtlety, and balance. Travel Guide is the occasional group's debut for ECM. Its ten tunes were written by either Muthspiel or Towner. The tonal qualities on all of these tracks are beautifully nuanced: Muthspiel plays electric guitar, Towner classical and 12-string, and Grigoryan classical and baritone guitars. These compositions weren't written for these players to showcase their solo chops, but rather as songs with limited but impeccable improvisation. [...]. Travel Guide is an understated, uncluttered gem of virtuosity and composition. The unselfish sense of deference between these players reveals not only their comfort with one another, but the collective confidence of a uniquely voiced, developing group.
Thom Jurek, All Music.Com
Filigrane, funkelnde, teils kontrapunktische Stücke von Towner und Muthspiel. Für Gitarrengourmets.

British and German critics welcome Ralph Alessis first ECM-album as a leader
Now comes an ECM debut album by Alessi which is really quite breathtaking: the music is vibrant, powerfully emotional and establishes beyond doubt that the trumpeter is a really compelling improviser. He has an all-star band on this recording, too: pianist Jason Moran, bassist Drew Gress, and drummer Nasheet Waits. All the pieces are by Alessi [...] Theres a great variety thoughout the album, and every track is a gem.
John Watson, Jazz Camera
Auf Baida, seinem Debütalbum für ECM, klingt er schlichtweg spektakulär: mit bestechender Präzision, brillanter Improvisationskraft und bezwingender Phrasierungsfantasie. [ ] Mit einer grandiosen Band [..] streift Alessi durch eine Vielzahl von Stilen und Stimmungen; freie Schwebeballaden fulminante Free-Ausbrüche, vertrackte Themen-Abstraktionen, hinreißend melodische Songformen [ ] traumhaft gut!
Georg Spindler, Mannheimer Morgen
A Canadian reviewer hears a major leap forward for John Abercrombie and Marc Coplands artistic relationship on
39 Steps
The lion's share of the compositions belong to Abercrombie, who rightfully assumes leader credit here, with Copland contributing only two of the set's ten pieces, along with one group-credited free improv and an indirect closing nod to tradition with a reading of Melancholy Baby that still fits within the quartet's overall sphere of approach; freely interpreted, in this case with no time and no discernible changes, its melody remains recognizable amidst the freewheeling yet carefully controlled freedom and interaction within which this group operates.
The other important change is, for the first time, having an external producerin this case, ECM label head Manfred Eicher. As good as Copland's two previous recordings sound, there's a notable and tremendous difference in how this date sounds: more delicate, more rarefied, with every note discernible right down to its final decay and even the most delicate touch of a cymbal occupying its rightful place in the overall soundscape. [...] As good as their previous recordings together have been, 39 Steps represents a major leap forward for Abercrombie and Copland's relationship, even as the guitarist returns to the piano-based configuration that was his first touring context, back in the late '70s.
John Kelman, All About Jazz
The Guardians John Fordham on Aaron Parks first ECM album
This almost all-improv session [...] draws on influences such as Béla Bartóks interpretations of Hungarian folk songs, Keith Jarrett's and Ran Blake's solo playing, and Herbie Hancock in free-spirit mode. Parks' playing here isn't as funkily gospel-powered as Jarrett can be, nor as unstoppabably dynamic as Hancock at full stretch, but his melodic sense is acute and original, his narratives and harmonies varied, and his pacing subtle. [...] Arborescence has a low-lights feel, but its musicality and lyricism glows very brightly.
John Fordham, The Guardian

Mie Goreng (Indonesian Fried Noodles)
I have been so busy recently I can hardly find any time to have a breather. If you've been following my blog and Twitter, you will know that working on my cookbook has pretty much consumed all my time. As a result, I have been eating out more, and cook only when time permits.
In the past, I would always attempt to make my Asian dishes from scratch. If that means tedious work and hours of making my own spice paste, I would do it. But I can no longer afford the time. As a result, instant spice paste and seasonings have become my easy and go-to ingredients nowadays. I absolutely love them, especially the World Foods line of instant paste, condiments, and sauces, which I bought from my neighborhood Whole Foods market. (World Foods products are made in Malaysia and Thailand.) As an Asian food enthusiast, I can't live without my rice, noodles, and I am just so glad that I can still enjoy authentic and scrumptious Asian dishes in practically 15 minutes, with these instant paste products…
For my lunch today, I made Mie Goreng, or Indonesian fried noodles, using World Foods Indonesian Fried Rice Paste. It was delicious and so easy to make. Most importantly, it satisfies every ounce of my craving for this noodle dish, and totally reminded me of my holidays in Bali when every lunch, the hotel butler would bring a serving of this flavorful noodles to me!
Here is my mie goreng (Indonesian Fried Noodles) recipe. Please take note that this is a very simple version of this iconic Indonesian dish. It fits my busy schedules and doesn't compromise on the taste. You can also use the same paste to make nasi goreng, or fried rice.

I go to WHF quite often. I may try to get this :) Thanks ah!
Thanks for recommending this instant paste. I always cheat with instant paste or sauce, who has time to make everything from scratch all the time?
I so agree with you Bee that sometimes lack of time makes cooking from scratch impossible esp. during weeknights. There's nothing wrong with using ready made pastes or sauces if they are good quality. So convenient. I LOVE mie goreng and yours looks every bit 'authentic'.
I had to laugh, because Whole Foods has 4 locations in Hawaii..none of which are on the island that I live on (haha). I'll be going to Singapore in a few months so I may have to wait until then to pick some up. This is one of my favorite foods :)
Thanks for sharing this recipe!
Yeah! Ready made pastes can be a lifesaver on busy days. The Mie Goreng looks delicious! Hope you have been well, Bee.
These readily available curry pastes comes to our rescue during those busy days. I will look out for this curry paste during my next visit to whole foods.
While busying preparing your cookbook, you still can find time to cook this and that! Amazing…. This one looks good! Me too, i can't live without rice and noodle. With Kecap manis, this turns to be more like the indonasiean version. Here in Singapore, Indians put it in too. Wishing you a happy day ahead and Jia You! :)
love the presentation! I'm craving for a plate right now.
I love using instant paste as well when I have no time to cook, which is actually most of the time;), I am glad that I am still on holiday at the moment…! Your mie goreng looks great!
I just checked the website and Whole Foods was not listed as the store that carry their products in MA. There were only 2 stores that carry them and none of them close to where I live. Sad.
Bee, where did you get the paste? All the Whole Foods store in CA listed on their site are in NorthCal.
Found your blog through MPBA. Loving your receipes; thank you!! Just wondering how spicy is the World Foods Nasi Goreng paste? I'm not big on the hot spicy aspect of Asian foods. :(
Question about the yellow egg noodles: I'm more used to various rice noodle varieties, or fat udon noodles. The egg noodles only need to be rinsed, yes? Do you recommend a particular brand?
with facebook, it's becoming more difficult to maintain the blog ha ha ha. but i made a promise to myself that i will visit my linked sites and leave comments every single day (if they have a new post of course). maybe we should start that movement?!? – i'm chalking this new post as part of my growing list of recipes to cook. sigh. i've done about three already and they were massive hits! :)
Hi!! I totally agree that instant paste are life savers and sometimes you really find good ones that are simply delicious and cut off hours from standing in the kitchen. I don't think I have seen this brand. Will check it out next time. Thanks for the tip. I hope the book is getting along great!
I love isntant paste, so convenient and so yummy too! good luck with your cookbook =)
yowzers, I love mi goreng noodles but have never had them fresh before. I'm gonna make this asap! This looks amazing, so good.
It looks yummy! Im gonna try it soon. :D
Looks yummy! Im gonna try it soon :D
I live in Irvine, CA – I cant find this paste? where can I buy it?
I went to Whole Foods in District and they did not carry the paste-
Nice shot on the delicious mee goreng. Usually I will just cook mee goreng from instant noodle pack :)
Very tasty looking plate of mee goreng. This inspires me to whip up a plate of Nyonya mee goreng, which is quite hard to find in Malaysia nowadays! My next post perhaps? Haha. *droolng* Thanks for the inspiration!
Fried noodles are my weakness. Carbs be damned! ;)
I love cooking with readymade paste… and your plate looks restaurant quality with the beautiful photos. yep, I managed to visit your blog today coz I'm using a US proxy :p have fun with the finishing touches of your cookbook =)
Great blog, which I turn to every time I need to dig up an Asian recipe.
Have to make some sambal from scratch, (the sambal one eats with nasi lemak,) is it already somewhere on your blog?
The mee goreng looks delicious. Is the paste (made in Malaysia) available here, and where may I buy them. Thanks.
Hi, I tried to look for the World Food paste in London,UK, but they don't have any over here. Can you recommend other paste that I can use to replaced World Food paste?
Thank you.
Hwei … you can find it at the Tesco stores under the specialty section.
Hwei .. The paste is available at Tesco UK stores at the specialty ingredients aisle.
Thanks May and mfoong! I will go look for it.
you are most welcome. If I am not mistaken you can buy it online and deliver to you? https://secure.tesco.com/register/?vstore=99&from=http%3a%2f%2fwww.tesco.com%2fsuperstore%2fdefault.aspx
Mmm! This recipe sounds simple and awesome. Love the sweet soy sauce, and super cool to find out about the spice pastes they stock at Whole Foods – cool that they seem to be made in their countries of origin and authentic. The paste must be good for making fried rice too…
This reminds me of Indomie, just that I prefer my noodles to be the wriggly, crinkled instant noodles-type. Not the alkaline yellow noodles.
Bee, I need some help with noodles. I could not find yellow egg noodles in the vast selection of noodles (frozen or dry) in our Asian grocery store. What do they look like? Can you suggest a close substitute?
Hello Bee, tried this for Sunday brunch yesterday. Couldn't get the nasi goreng paste, substitued with sambal belacan paste (store bought) instead. Spicyness from the sambal belacan with a tinge of sweetness from the kecap manis makes this very delish! A must try for anyone! So authentic South East Asian flavour! I am not running out of ideas on what to cook these days. Thanks to your wonderful recipes! Cheers!
Thank you so much for the tips
I just checked the website and Whole Foods was not listed as the store that carry their products in MA. There were only 2 stores that carry them and none of them close to where I live.
you could buy it online http://mybrands.com/BrandsHome.aspx?bid=512&B=true
Top-notch share it is definitely. My girlfriend has been waiting for this update.
i only have the nasi goreng sauce, and not the paste. how will i go about it?
Hi there,
This looks delicious! Unfortunately I live in Montreal, Canada and can't seem to find the paste anywhere. Is there anything I can substitute it with or perhaps make it from scratch?
Just returned from my first trip to Indonesia. Mie goreng was definitely a highlight! Thanks for the recipe. I can hardly wait to try it!
I'm currently in the middle east and luckily the hotel has an incredible Indonesian restaurant serving Mie Goreng. I've been pestering the chef for the ingredients since I see him everyday around the hotel! If I get it, I might have to share it.
Is that an error or what the 3 tablespoons under the, "1 lb yellow egg noodles, rinsed with cold water and drained"?
Bee, I just made this tonight and it was SOOO GOOOOOD!!! Thank you for sharing. 20 minute effort, 5 star weeknight dinner.
Question, I am in SF and my local Asian store has at least 5 brands of nasi goreng paste but not World Foods. Do you have a second favorite brand?
Bee, I found the World Foods paste! Happen to have leftover rice. Can I use the same ratio of paste/kecap manis to make nasi goreng? The jar doesn't suggest using kecap at all…

Deutscher Sam Barbera Moonlights as a Musician
Deutsch LA makes it a priority to foster a growing and diverse culture. Whether it's funding the Side Project Project or hosting DLAMC (our Motorcycle Club), DLA is no stranger to supporting its employees' personal ambitions. The latest example (and a first in our new series Deutsch Headliners) is BEGINNERS.
You've probably heard them even if you haven't heard of them. Their songs have played on The CW's Vampire Diaries, ABC's Selfie, and even aired in a European commercial. They've opened for big artists like Walk the Moon, Tove Lo, and Yacht, and they're about to perform at this year's SXSW Music Festival during the ASCAP Showcase on March 18.
Sam Barbera, front woman, is a respected Senior Concept Producer at Deutsch LA, and if you've ever worked with her, you know the type of dedication she brings to everything she does. When she isn't bringing great ideas to life at work, she is jamming with her badass band and creating music that's best described as dark garage rock with a shimmering electro-pop veneer.
We spoke to Sam about her passion for songwriting and love of music:
Q: What inspires your music?
Honest experiences inspire my music. The key to being an artist who people connect with is being super honest. (Sometimes in a way that makes you uncomfortable.)
A lot of my lyrics are about darker experiences or the tiny moments of hope in my life.
Most of my songs are relationship driven. A lot of musicians write to appeal to everyone, but I think people identify with specifics. Trying to appeal to everyone makes it feel insincere.
Both of my parents are musicians, and I started playing guitar and writing songs from a super young age. Before I had a guitar, I would bang on the dryer like a drum and sing.
Q: Since you love writing songs so much, did you ever consider copywriting as a career?
Yes, I actually loved writing and was pretty accomplished at it during my college years at Indiana University. I have a complicated relationship with writing — I'm good at it, but it tortures me. I become obsessed with making it perfect.
Q: What contributes to the stress of writing for you?
When writing lyrics for songs, you have to have clever wordplay and an interesting insight. And in most cases, you have to rhyme. It's also about phrasing AND the sing-ability. Even if the phrasing and rhyming are right, some words just don't sing well, like "b" words. They just sound bulky when you sing them!
Q: What's your process to write a song?
The filter you use for writing a song is very different from the filter you use for normal writing. I write all of my melodies first with complete gibberish (verses, pre-chorus, then chorus, etc.). I'll even record harmonies in gibberish. When you're doing it in gibberish, you can do whatever's best for the melody and the lyrics don't get in the way. Lyrics are important too, but when I'm writing a song, I have to perfect the melody first.
For me, songwriting is an emotional stream of consciousness. When I'm working on the melody (in gibberish), a lot of times the lyrics just surface. Words just come out. It's like an exorcism. Most of my songs develop from that — words that match the mood of the melody.
Q: Does your career as a musician overlap with your career at Deutsch?
Yes — both of my jobs are a great deal about collaboration. I collaborate on everything I do. I'm a huge proponent of getting outside of your own head, bouncing ideas off of people, getting a different perspective on things. Sometimes with songwriting (which is so personal), you can get inside your own head and lose perspective and lose the big picture. You learn so much through collaborating. I've found that the more I collaborate, the more I learn and the faster I advance as an artist.
Q: Are you the same person onstage as you are in the office?
I think I'm more tortured onstage than I am in my normal life. I channel all of the anger and pain that's inspired my music, and performing is a release for that.
Onstage, you take on a persona. You have the responsibility of being a performer, but you have to be honest in what you do. You don't want to be an actor, you just need to be a larger-than-life version of yourself.
Vulnerability is key. You have to be comfortable with looking stupid or at least not looking "pretty." What makes a performer attractive is not giving a $%#& what people think about you.
Q: Are there any bands BEGINNERS has been compared to?
Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Santigold, Chvrches, Tegan and Sara, Phantogram.
Q: What's the first concert you ever saw?
Elton John and George Michael.
Q: Do you have a favorite place to perform?
Portland at The Wonder Ballroom.
More than two million people have listened to the BEGINNERS on Spotify, and that number is growing every day. Check them out here.

All your favourite recipes are in one handy place now, so it's just a matter of choosing the right one that works for the right time. You may be cooking a mid-week dinner for the family or planning ahead for that special party you're hosting on Saturday night. Whatever the case, I'm loving that you're cooking up a home made dish because it's always worth the effort.

after watching the trailer, I just realized that this is a direct sequel to peace walker.Paz and Chico are mentioned frequently throughout this trailer,and i think the burned man is general coldman. If this is a prequel to MGS5, i have a strong feeling that this will lead up to a possible remake of the first two metal gears,which are the first appearances of snake and gray fox, fighting against big boss.
Yup and MGS is no longer PS exclusive. The article states that the demo was done with an Xbox controller
this is a prequel to Mgs 5, this likely could be the final big boss story to fill in the gaps of cipher vs. BB.
they aint milkin the franchise, kojima is fillin in gaps within the mythology, thinking if this is the prologue for mgs5, then 5 could be remakes of MG1 & 2.
Here's hoping, either way it's going in the direction i had hoped it would.
@b_low_brown Killerbrownies.tumblr.com
another video with more gameplay footage at the end (jump to the 10 min mark)
this looks amazing. the way they incorporate the map and item inventory into the gameplay instead of being a menu is awesomely clever. i haven't been blown away by game graphics in a long ass time. this is next level.
i guess we have two different views on milking fam, because i dont see this as that
to me milking a series impacts the quality of it, making it wack as fuck, this dude kojima puts out a new mgs title, and it always delivers, he's consistent, and it leave everyone wanting more.
ZoE 3 is being worked on but he aint the director for it, he's producing it i think.
either way shits gonna fantastic

Phoronix: AMD A8-3870K - Radeon HD 6550D Graphics
A few days ago AMD announced several new A-Series APUs for desktops and notebooks. Knocking the Llano A8-3850 out of the top spot now for the A-Series is the A8-3870K, which was received by Phoronix just in time for some holiday testing of this updated APU.
Despite the sentiments of the previous poster, I appreciated the benchmarks, and I too would like to see benches with oc'd RAM and also power consumption if possible. I had a llano system for a couple of days and the idle power consumption was excellent (around 40W with a dual core and m-atx board).
Given that you really should resolve the GPU over clock problem before going to far. For many it would be the whole point of getting a K series chip.
What the hell?? The 3870K provides lower scores in Heaven than 3850?? How? Why? When? Who? Where?
The results are hardly surprising, the new chip is identical to the old chip, except with unlocked multiplier and 100mhz CPU bump. I'm sure the potential OC to around 4GHZ will provide exactly the expected 25% more performance than at 3GHZ stock, and that OCing the RAM to 3GHZ or whatever will fully bring the GPU to discrete level performance. Or maybe Michael won't even bother to do that kind of in-depth testing, at which point AMD should seriously reconsider sending him hardware.
The next A8-3870K article will be out in a few minutes.

|Add support for ComplexFeatures. GeoTools should be able to parse a complex WFS response and construct a set of Feature objects from it.
|ComplexFeature Parsing & Building Support
complex features FTW
(Forked from https://github.com/groldan/geotools)
This page represents the current plan; for discussion please check the tracker link above.
- Description
- Resources
- Status
- Tasks
- API Changes
- Documentation Changes
GeoTool's lack of support for parsing XML into complex features limits its utility as a GIS toolkit.
I propose to add this functionality by augmenting the codebase such that there are complex-compatible analogues or alternatives to all the classes necessary for WFS-based communications. Existing type hierarchies will be modifed and added to to provide this new functionality. In making these changes I will strive for maximum reuse of existing code and will follow the coding patterns and API conventions currently employed; as such, the code for performing a complex feature request will be much like the code for a simple feature request. Breaking changes will be eschewed.
Central to this work is a new XmlComplexFeatureParser which will use an AttributeBuilder and a ComplexFeatureBuilder to create objects that represent the content of WFS XML responses.
The addition of the following classes has had varying levels of impact on their encompassing type hierarchies:
- WFSContentDataAccess
- WFSDataAccessFactory
- XmlComplexFeatureParser
- ComplexFeatureBuilder
The proposed type hierachies can be seen alongside their previous forms here: See how the type hierarchies have changed.
GML Consumption Library Use cases
This proposal is under construction.
Voting has not started yet:
- Andrea Aime
- Ben Caradoc-Davies
- Christian Mueller
- Ian Turton
- Justin Deoliveira
- Jody Garnett
- Simone Giannecchini
I am contracted to work on this until the end of July 2012. At the time of writing that leaves approximately 8 weeks.
no progress
lack mandate/funds/time
volunteer needed
- WFSDataAccessFactory integrated into 'Factory' hierarchy.
- WFSContentDataAccess integrated into 'DataAccess' hierarcy.
- A new 'GetParser<...>' hierarchy created to supplant existing 'GetFeatureParser' hierarchy. XmlComplexFeatureParser integrated into this.
- A new 'FeatureBuilder<...>' hierarchy created to generalise functionality from 'SimpleFeatureBuilder' so that it can be used by a new ComplexFeatureBuilder class.
- Create an AttributeBuilder. (In progress, 1 week)
- Create a ComplexFeatureBuilder. (Started, 2 weeks, blocked by #5)
- Complete the XmlComplexFeatureParser. (Started, 3 weeks, blocked by #6)
- Update documentation. (Blocked by #7)
That would leave 2 weeks to respond to faults from community, bug fixes, documentation updates etc.
I'll update these time estimates as I progress.
API Changes
Public API for making WFS request
BEFORE (Example of SIMPLE feature request)
AFTER (Example of COMPLEX feature request)
Take note of the comments enclosed by double asterix, i.e; /** comment **/. They point out some important differences between the two code samples. Each one has letter identifier preceded by a hash. I will hearafter refer back to these identifiers to elaborate more on the code they annotate:
- #A: The 'getDataStore' method iterates through a collection of factories until it finds one that meets the requirements of the connectionParameters passed in. I added a new optional GML_COMPLIANCE_LEVEL parameter to be passed through to impose a restriction on the type of DataAccess object that can be passed back. I.e. one that supports complex features.
- #B: When dealing with complex features we can utilise the app-schema-cache to cache schemata.
- #C: I created WFSDataAccessFactory which conforms to GML_COMPLIANCE_LEVEL 2. It creates and returns a WFSContentDataAccess object. WFSContentDataAccess borrows extensively from WFSContentDataStore with notable exceptions being its lack of reliance on simple types in methods such as getSchema, updateSchema, etc.
Comparison and Contrast between SimpleFeatureBuilder, ComplexFeatureBuilder usage
The builders are used by their corresponding XML feature parsers to associate attributes with names.
The attributeValue, above, is created by a static Converters.convert(...) method which takes a raw text value and a binding (Java Class object).
In the case of ComplexFeatures the propertyValue, above, is constructed with an AttributeBuilder and bound to a Java Class object.
Excerpt from ComplexFeatureBuilderTests
Documentation Changes
- New documentation will be required to cover the steps involved in processing a complex WFS response.
- http://docs.geotools.org/latest/userguide/library/data/wfs.html
- Add details of new connection parameter 'GML_COMPLIANCE_LEVEL'.
- Add a new example of a WFS request showing the retrieval and consumption of a complex version.

Pat Rollins: Finally, hitting the rut just right
Tuesday, November 27, 2012
For nearly 25 years my buddies and I have planned a deer hunting trip to central New York state's farm country. We try to plan our week to take advantage of the peak of the rut which generally occurs somewhere between the 15th and the 20th of November. Most of the time we seem to either get there a couple days to early or a few days to late. Occasionally, we hit it perfectly and when we do big bucks seem to come out of the wood work. When my friend Dick, who owns the huge farm we hunt, came out of the barn with a big grin, I knew we were in for a special week.

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. — An all-expense-paid trip to London, England for the London 2012 Olympic Games may seem like a dream to some, but for one group of extraordinary young women, that dream has become a reality that they earned through hard work and dedication.
Passionate leaders and change makers in their communities describe the grand prize winners of the The Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy "Choose to Matter Contest," which was held to empower young female athletes to choose to make a difference in the lives and communities around them through instilling entrepreneurship, leadership skills and a sense of civic responsibility. Thanks to the generosity of McDonald's and The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, the young ladies and their parents will join Julie Foudy, former Captain and two-time Olympic Gold Medalist of the U.S. Women's Soccer Team, at the Olympic Games in London from August 9 through 12 to participate as Youth Ambassadors for McDonald's Champions of Play program.
"The 'Choose to Matter Contest' was an incredible opportunity to not only honor and celebrate the achievements of the four winners, but also recognize and applaud all of the remarkable young women who created and implemented community service projects," Foudy said.
The four girls, Jackie Schaefer, Gulafsha Kamrulhodda Ansari, Amanda Christianson and Moriah Wilson, individually worked on community projects and were able to evoke positive change in communities across the globe, providing shoes to needy children in Haiti, gifts and encouraging messages to hospitalized kids, toys and high school-aged mentors to foster kids, and opportunities for girls to play organized sports in Mumbai, India.
Girls from the three Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academies, located in California, Illinois and New Jersey, and partner organization, Girl Talk, were invited to create and implement community service leadership projects during 2011 and enter the projects in the "Choose to Matter Contest." During February 2012, more than 60,000 people visited the contest website and voted on their favorite projects to send four young women to the Olympics.
"We are proud of what these young women have all accomplished and look forward to watching them lead their peers from all over the world on an experience of a lifetime at the Olympics. Through JFSLA and this contest, we hope to inspire more young women to continue to take action," Foudy said.
Girls Making a Difference: Four Grand Prize Winners
Jackie Schaefer (age 12) from Jacksonville, Fla. (JFSLA New Jersey)
- Jackie's project, "Kids Helping Kids," started by raising money and equipment to help refurbish and create a place for foster kids to play at their foster home.
- Jackie expanded her project to involve a high school team and coaches who had the kids come watch a game and then visited the kids at the home—allowing the foster kids to learn from the high school kids.
Gulafsha Kamrulhodda Ansari (age 16) from Mumbai, India (JFSLA California)
- Gulafsha's project, "Giving Girls a Chance to Play," focused on empowering girls through sports by working to change the attitudes of the elders in her community toward allowing girls to play in an organized environment. Her goal was to give the girls in the poorest parts of Mumbai the opportunity to play and excel in sports.
- Gulafsha's participation in Julie Foudy's California academy was made possible through the Julie Foudy Leadership Foundation and Magic Bus, the first nonprofit in India to deliver high-impact programs using a sport-based curriculum for community development.
Amanda Christianson (age 14) from Plainfield, Ill. (JFSLA Illinois)
- Amanda's project, "Cleats for Kids," originally had a goal of collecting and distributing 300 pairs of shoes to kids in Haiti in need of shoes. She collected used cleats and sneakers from her community and shipped them to the kids in Haiti.
- Amanda exceeded her goal by distributing more than 500 pairs of shoes to children in Haiti by the time she entered her project into the contest.
Moriah Wilson (age 14) from Atlanta, Ga. (GirlTalk)
- Moriah's project, "Lil' Hearts of Love: Pillows and Pages Edition," centered on providing comfort to patients at children's hospitals by distributing 175 handmade pillows that included a book and encouraging messages for each child.
- Moriah's contest entry was part of a similar effort she and her sister have implemented for the past three years.
The Choose to Matter Contest website offers profiles on each of the grand prize winners and their projects, as well as profiles on the other 66 projects submitted for the Choose to Matter contest. To learn more about the contest, academies, and partners mentioned above, please visit their respective pages.
- About Julie Foudy and Julie Foudy Sports and Leadership Academy. Foudy's soccer laurels date back to her time as a Stanford student-athlete, where she was named a four-time All-American and Soccer America Player of the Year in 1991. During her 18-year career as a midfielder for the U.S. national team, the U.S. women won two FIFA World Cup Titles (1991, 1999) and two Olympic gold medals (1996, 2004). Foudy, the former captain, was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in August 2007. Since her retirement in 2004, Foudy has remained close to the sport as the lead television voice for ESPN and ESPN2's coverage of the quadrennial FIFA Women's World Cups. In 2006, Julie Foudy launched the Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy for girls ages 12-18. The aim of the JFSLA is to expose students to Julie's great passion: the concept of not just being a leader on the field but a leader in life.

Many people today are interested in cosmetic surgery procedures that will change appearance of the body, but they don't know what kinds there are. Here is a list with information on each one.
Blepharoplasty is eyelid surgery which helps with droopy eyelids. It helps make the eyes look younger and makes it easier to see for some people. It doesn't get rid of circles under the eyes or wrinkles. Those are additional.
Facial Scar Revision is for any face disfigurement from scars due to injuries that are reddened, puffed out or unattractive and can be eliminated almost completely with this surgery. Some of it is done by moving skin around and possibly moving the scar to make it less visible.
Facelift Marin County – Forehead Lifts include both the forehead and eyebrows. They help to reduce wrinkles that occur from getting older, and the skin becoming softer and slowly sagging on the face because the elasticity begins to fade.
Hair Replacement is for people who have hair loss issues. Scalp from the back of the head with hair follicles is moved where ever bald spots occur. Scarring is minimum and if any occur, they are hidden by hair.
Laser Surgery is done with a one hot light, that is focused and used to treat medically induced conditions like birthmarks or skin lesions. They are also used to help prepare the skin for the hair transplant surgeries.
Mentoplasty is on the chin because chin size makes a big difference to peoples profiles and feelings towards ones face. There can be chin transplants, or chin reductions. They can also be done to help fix chins disfigurements due to accidents, making them look normal again as seen on this site.
Otoplasty is on the ears and used mainly for protruding or elephant ears. When ears are not folded back naturally, people can get made of or feel uncomfortable. This surgery folds the ear, which means they add a fold of skin behind the ear, pulling the ear towards the skull, giving the head a more rounded look.
Rhinoplasty is surgery on the nose. Our nose never stops growing, and if it is oddly shaped, or larger than wanted, this surgery can reduce the size, change shape, and add size or bridges, helping to make the face more symmetrical.
Rhytidectomy helps to remove the overall signs of wrinkles, jowls, creases and folds on the face in a face lift.
Skin resurfacing is done with the laser and helps to remove layers of skin and then encouraging the collagen to reproduce causing more elasticity to come back and improves wrinkles.
Facelift San Francisco Wrinkle treatments can be done with Botox type procedures or some of the above listed surgeries like the Phytidectomy. They help to reduce wrinkles, boosting collagen to help your skin look better.
Facial reconstruction is used mainly for augmentations to the face due to cancer or accidents. Some things it is used for are cleft lip repairs, cleft palates, whole face transplants, facial paralysis, trauma, microtia and hides scars.
There are more surgeries coming out all the time, but these are the most common cosmetic surgeries done today. Contact Dr. Miguel A. Delgado, Jr. for more information.

It can be about anything as long as it has something to do with this abandoned factory.
I hope this gives you enough fuel for your creative fires. I look forward to reading your stories.

Room 421, Belk Library
Appalachian State University
Thursday, April 12, 2012; 11am - 5pm
Friday, April 13, 2012; 8am - 2pm
In celebration of National Library Week, Belk Library is sponsoring a "Food for Fines" drive beginning April 10 at 7:30 am until April 17 at 6 pm.
Starting Tuesday, April 10 we will be accepting one canned food item for every $1.00 (or partial part of a $1.00) owed on fines up to $15.00. NOTE: Fines that have already been sent to Student Accounts are not eligible for this offer. Canned goods cannot be credited toward lost book charges.
Here's what you do:
If you have an overdue fine at the library, bring one can of nonperishable food to the Main Circulation Desk.Tell the staff member that you are going to pay your fines with food. You will be assessed one can of food per $1.00 (or part of a $1.00) of fines up to a total of $15.00.Your account will be cleared up to $15.00. Ask for a receipt.
Distance Education students may participate too, by donating food to a charity of their choosing. Simply email Geri Purpur (firstname.lastname@example.com) with your name, the name of the charity, and the amount donated. The subject line should read: Food for Fines.
It's that simple! Even if you don't owe fines, we will accept canned foods for donation.

The Doorways International Program Series presents Egyptologist Dr. Peter Lacovara, on the topic of "Life and Death in the Pyramid Age: The Emory Old Kingdom Mummy."
Date: Thursday April 12, 2012
Time: 5:30 pm
Location: Belk Library and Information Commons, Room 114
Life and Death in the Pyramid Age: The Emory Old Kingdom Mummy
An open lecture at Appalachian State University by Egyptologist Peter Lacovara will discuss the oldest Egyptian mummy in the Western Hemisphere. More than 4,000 years old, Emory University's Old Kingdom mummy, acquired from excavations at the sacred cemetery of Abydos in Middle Egypt in 1920, comes from the twilight of Egypt's Pyramid Age. After more than two years of study and conservation, the Old Kingdom mummy has now been exhibited to the public for the first time, restored to its original appearance.
The open lecture will shed light on ancient Egyptian rites and rituals regarding the afterlife, by chronicling the development of the burial site of Abydos and the cult of Osiris, with reference to the current excavations where the Old Kingdom mummy was found nearly a century ago.
Peter Lacovara is one of this country's foremost experts in Egyptology, and is Senior Curator of Ancient Art Collections at the Emory Carlos Museum in Atlanta. He has written and contributed to numerous books and publications on Egyptian art. His fieldwork includes site supervision and excavation at locations such as the Valley of the Kings at Thebes, the Sphinx/Isis Temple, and now at the palace of Amenhotep III at Thebes, where Lacovara is currently excavating. Since Lacovara came to the Carlos Museum, Emory has become one of the South's leading centers for ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern art. In 1999, Lacovara was the driving force behind the Carlos Museum's acquisition of a collection of ancient Egyptian mummies. Included in that collection was a mummy identified as Ramesses I, the patriarch of one of ancient Egypt's greatest dynasties. In 2003, when a delegation led by Lacovara returned the pharaoh to Egypt and residence at the Luxor Museum, the University earned the thanks of a grateful Egyptian nation. Currently, Lacovara is excavating at the palace of Amenhotep III at Thebes.
This Doorways session is organized by John Stephenson in the Art Department, and co-sponsored by the Belk Library Doorways series, General Education, the Office of the Dean of Applied and Visual Arts, and the Anthropology department. The Doorways series provides a platform for people to share their research and knowledge on international issues and build relationships on campus based on interest in international affairs. For more information on this program or the Doorways series, call 262-4967.
In celebration of National Library Week (April 8-14), Belk Library will be gathering input from students, faculty, and staff about what their favorite books are. We'll be gathering entries via a form on the library's website, and then posting them on one of the library's Pinterest boards.

We'll be announcing other events in celebration of National Library Week soon!
Special Collections invites you to visit its new exhibit, "A New Look at Old Friends: An Exhibit of Vintage Series Books for Girls," now on display in the 4th Floor atrium of Belk Library and Information Commons.
The exhibit features books from the Elaine J. O'Quinn Girls' Studies Collection in Special Collections. On display are a variety of materials related to girls' series books from the mid-1800s through the early 20th century. Featured series include Nancy Drew, Cherry Ames, Beverly Gray, and Elsie Dinsmore, among many others.
Each display case visually explores three interrelated approaches to girls' series books. The first case, "Fans," shows the marketing and fan following of girls' series books. The second case, "Collectors," displays a selection of collectible books and literature about collecting them. The final case, "Scholars," highlights how girls' series books are now being studied and shows related scholarly literature.
In addition to the exhibit, on April 19, 2012, the Elaine J. O'Quinn Girls' Studies Collection will be dedicated and Dr. O'Quinn will give a lecture about her research on girls' series books.
To learn more about the O'Quinn Collection, visit our webpage. The collection is available for use in the Dougherty Reading Room located in Special Collections, Room 432. The Dougherty Reading Room is open Monday - Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. For more information, call 828-262-7974 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Check out the new high-tech drink/water and snack machines located in the Library's Atrium near Classroom 114 and the bus stop! These new machines offer greater selections of snacks (including some healthy alternatives), power drinks, chilled coffee drinks, juice, green tea and lifewaters. We hope to add more healthy snacks to the machines. Feel free to let us know what you would like to see in the snack machines. Check it out and happy snacking!
You asked, we listened! Change in laptop loan periods:
Starting today (3/19), all laptop checkouts in the library will increase from a four-hour checkout to an eight-hour checkout with 1 (two-hour) renewal. Please let us know how you like this change.
The Library Student Advisory Group met on February 23rd and offered some excellent suggestions for developing the kiosks.
The kiosks are definitely a work in progress, so please let us know what you would like to see!
Three new videos!
