There was some serious money parked in that harbour.
We all picked out our favourite boat. The kids need to study hard, marry well or start buying lottery tickets!!
We hopped back into the car and drove to Cannes, enjoying the scenery along the way.
We arrived, found a hotel and then walked down the road and ate dinner at a Turkish kebab shop.

When it comes to fighting hunger in Oswego County, perhaps no one plays a more important role than Oswego County Opportunities.
Virtually all of OCO's human services programs have elements that address hunger. From homebound seniors to homeless teens and single mothers, to low-income families and hungry youth, OCO does its best to provide nutritious meals to those in need.
With the need for food subsidy at almost record levels in Oswego County, and state and federal funding continuing to dwindle, OCO's fundraising efforts are on a roll.
To help continue to feed those in need OCO will host its "Retro Bowl" fundraiser Saturday, April 5, at Lakeview Lanes in Fulton.
Proceeds from the Retro Bowl will be spread across all of the agency's programs to assist in providing consumers of these programs with emergency food when needed and help the agency build a reserve for the future.
Executive Director of OCO Diane Cooper-Currier said supporting programs and services that combat hunger aligns nicely with OCO's mission.
"As an anti-poverty agency, our focus is fighting poverty in any form. The inability to afford or prepare nutritious meals is certainly one of the most troubling forms of poverty we see," she said.
"Our Retro Bowl fundraiser will help ensure that our consumers, regardless of which program they are accessing, will have the emergency food supplies they need for themselves and their families," said Cooper-Currier.
While food subsidy is an aspect of all of OCO's programs, the agency's premier anti-hunger program is its Nutrition Service program.
Originally established to help provide meals for seniors, OCO Nutrition Services has evolved into a well-rounded program that operates eight dining and activity centers; provides a home-delivered meal service for seniors, as well as a private pay program for those under 60; offers a supplemental summer food program for youth throughout Oswego County; and an after-school program in Fulton that provides food for youth up to 18 years of age.
Last year alone, OCO Nutrition Services served 239,769 meals to Oswego County residents 60 and older; provided 16,360 meals to youth up to 18 years of age; and fed 50 children in its after school and summer food programs.
Additionally, OCO Nutrition Services delivered 650 "Blizzard Bags" filled with non-perishable foods to homebound residents so that they may have a day or two of food on hand in the event of bad weather.
The centerpiece of OCO Nutrition Services is the eight Dining and Activity Centers that the program hosts.
The centers provide a warm meal and a welcoming environment for those 60 and older wishing to enjoy some fun, quality time with others in their community.
The Dining and Activities Centers are open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and are located at:
- Constantia – St. Bernadette's Church, 1667 State Route 49, open Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 623-9803
- Fulton – Fulton Municipal Building, 141 S. First St., open Monday through Friday, 592-3408
- Hannibal – Community Library, 162 Oswego St., open Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 564-5471
- Mexico – Presbyterian Church, 4316 Church St., open Wednesday and Friday, 963-7757
- Parish – Presbyterian Church, 814 Rider St., open Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 625-4617
- Phoenix – Congregational Church, 3 Bridge St., open Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 695-4841
- Sandy Creek – Methodist Church, 2031 Harwood Drive, open Monday through Friday, 298-5020
"It's amazing to think of the impact that our program has on hunger in our county," said Amy Roland, director of OCO Nutrition Services.
"Our kitchen staff, our drivers, the staffs of our dining and activity centers, and our army of volunteers that we are fortunate enough to have, are busy all day long preparing, packaging and delivering meals each and every day, Monday through Friday," she said..
Roland added she is looking at ways to expand the OCO Nutrition Services by providing even more meals and making the summer food program for local youth available at more locations.
The summer food program, currently at 12 locations in the county, provides up to two meals per day, Monday through Friday throughout the summer break.
The OCO Retro Bowl takes place from noon to 6 p.m. April 5 at Lakeview Lanes in Fulton.
Registration is now open for five-person teams, with choice of flights: noon to 2:30 p.m. or 3 to 5:30 p.m. (first come, first served).
For registration or sponsor information, or to donate a door prize, contact OCO at 598-4717 or visit the agency's website at oco.org.

Lighting for my African Violets
This question is for you African Violet growers. I am using T-8 Fluorescents over my trays and have approx. 6" of headroom between the plants and tubes. Last year my violets did not do well, the leaves were pale and brownish in spots. I'm wondering if this is the result of too little fertilizer or too much light or plants too close to the tubes.
Any feedback on this question would be appreciated.
I find that my AV's grow very flat if too much light. Conversely, too little light and they reach up. In regards to brown spots that depends. Could be from splashed cold water on the leaves while other spots can be from lack of ferts. I'd say you should get a light meter and get an accurate foot candles measurement and then you can rule out the light. I use ferts regularly at half-strength and don't have any issues. Also make sure ur pot is a third of the diameter of the plant. bioWheel
African violets prefer a lot less light.
The owner of a commercial orchid farm, Hauserman's Orchids, used to throw African Violet leaves onto the ground under his benches. The light was so dim under these benches that no weeds would grow there. There the African Violet leaves would sprout, take root, and grow to over 2 ft. wide.
I just visited a local private greenhouse owner who collects violets, tons of them in FULL bloom..
My GOD they were so beautiful...I remember seeing his regular flurescent bulbs at least 1 foot up over them...
He also said he feeds them at every watering at 1/4 dose than recommended..Now if I had thought to ask him what he feeds with and how long he keeps his lights on, I would of been good...... Sheesh...

A collaborative team of researchers from Marquette University, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and the Medical College of Wisconsin (MCW) received a one-year, $50,000 grant from the Clinical and Translational Science Institute of Southeast Wisconsin (CTSI) to study the mechanisms behind hand motor control and sensory feedback in stroke patients.
The project, titled "Role of Sensory Enhancement on Hand Motor Control and Functional Recovery after Stroke: an fMRI Study," will be led by primary investigator, Na Jin Seo, Ph.D., assistant professor of industrial and manufacturing engineering, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; and co-primary investigators, Wendy Huddleston, Ph.D., P.T., University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee; Michelle Johnson, Ph.D., MCW and the Clement Zablocki VA Medical Center; and Brian Schmit, Ph.D., Marquette University.
Stroke survivors have difficulty with grip, which diminishes their ability to perform activities of daily living. Grip control between fingers and thumbs relies heavily on sensory feedback, which can be impaired after a stroke. Often, patients are unaware of the force exerted due to sensory deficits. In this study, researchers aim to learn more about the optimizing sensory feedback, with a long-term goal of optimizing stroke rehabilitation.
This is one of 19 pilot projects being funded in 2012 through CTSI. The goal is to create synergy through collaboration, and studies are specifically designed to lead to major future research support. The projects explore findings that have the potential to be translated into clinical practice and community health, and are led by investigators at the CTSI's eight partnering institutions: the Medical College of Wisconsin, Marquette University, Milwaukee School of Engineering, UW-Milwaukee, Froedtert Hospital, Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, the VA Medical Center, and the BloodCenter of Wisconsin.
CTSI is part of a national consortium of top medical research institutions. Working together, the CTSI institutions are committed to improve human health by streamlining science, transforming training environments and improving the conduct, quality and dissemination of clinical and translational research. The CTSI program is led by the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, part of the National Institutes of Health.
Support for the Pilot Award Program comes from the National Institutes of Health, the John and Jeanne Byrnes CTSI Award, and both MCW's Advancing a Healthier Wisconsin program, and MCW's Biotechnology and Bioengineering Center.

Oh no, it's dead today!
Well, I checked this morning and again tonight and there's no activity here. Isn't anyone working on a project or planning a project--anything we can talk about? To be honest, I haven't been able to do much this week--tried to get some yard work out of the way, then today I painted some small roses on the bottom edge of a white metal bridhouse I found at TS for $5.00. I am going to hang it in the yard, maybe put some ivy or something in it. I was going to paint a tabletop that my DH helped me cut out to replace a broken glass one on a little bistro set, but GD was begging to come to Gramma's so played with her instead. Would love to hear from you--even if it is just about what you would like to paint when you get the time.
I was here a couple of times today too, but didn't have a chance to post. I am den leader for my DS's pack so had to do that today. I'm hoping to get painting again tomorrow. Went to the library yesterday and picked up a few Painting mags. If I'm not painting I'm thinking about painting. ha
Your birdhouse sounds cute. I don't blame you for picking GD over the table. I played with my 2yr old all morning. We blew bubbles until I thought I blew out a lung. She still wanted more! I worked in the yard and she matched me step for step pulling her little wagon behind her. I had to throw some squash that had gone bad into the compost heap and I turned around and she was throwing my good cucumbers in!! ha It's good to enjoy them while they are little. I'll see what I can get painted in the next few days. If I get out my fall stuff I may have some of my older things I can post pics of. I'm gonna do a picture tutorial for you tomorrow so we can get you posting. ;) Have a great day! ~Anj
Hi Anj, That would be great if you can explain it really simple. I am not very good at computers and computer language. We download our pics to our computer--can I just select one of them and then post it here? Or do I need to do the photobucket site and post them there first? It is all confusing to me--that's why I keep trying to get DH to sit down with me to do it--he is the computer guru. I have printed all the instructions from the forum and some that the GJers had posted, so we can read those when start to do it. I have so many things I want to share. I look at something and think "gosh, I wish I could show this to Anj and Kathi. That is too funny about the cucumbers! What a sweetie, wanting to do exactly what Grandma does! We have something else in common--my GD turned 2 in May. Aren't they just the greatest? Got to get to bed, Ill check in tmr. Take care. luvs
Actually that 2yr old is my daughter. Don't make me a grandma just yet. :) Not that there's anything wrong with it, but my oldest is only 11 and I'm not quite ready for her to be a mom yet. ha I'm just barely getting the parenting thing down. Do you worry less or more about your grandkids than you did your kids?? I don't know if I can take it if I worry more! ha I have 4 kids in all. 2girls & 2 boys. Whether they are kids or grandkids they are still a hoot. My 2 yr old is blowing bubbles again in the house this time, catching them on the stick and popping them with her nose. She just cackles every time she does it. It's infectious.
Posting pics is actually easier than you think if you already have them put on your computer so we'll walk you thru it. I think you can post them straight from the computer on the discussion side. I posted my first pics there cause I couldn't figure out the gallery side. It's easy for me now too after I did it a few times. I'll post the instructions on another message in case there are other people it will help.
I think my day is pretty freed up except laundry. Blah! Mine multiplies faster than my dust bunnies. ha So I should be able to start painting something. Happy Thursday. ~Anj
Sorry, Anj. Didn't mean to age you too fast! LOL I just misunderstood your post, or assumed it was a grandchild. Okay, girl, with four little ones, I don't know how you ever find time to paint! Your little one sounds adorable.
I don't worry more, just get to enjoy more! I devote my time completely to her when she is over. I do find that I am more cautious with her--try to curb her exploration a bit to keep her safe! DH and I talk all the time about her antics and things she has said or done! Love it!
I want to tell you that on a post for Newbies on the conversattion side at GJ, I noticed several mentioned liking to paint--so I invited them to come on over and join us here too. Let's hope a few come by.
When I get your instructions, I will go to the test page and try to post. Wouldn't that be something if I managed to do it before DH gets around to it! LOL
Gotta go, I work part time on Thurs. & Fri. at a little antique & collectibles shop ( high priced TS! LOL). It gets me out with people and I enjoy seeing all the new items the dealers bring in for their spaces.
Be back this evening. Luvs
Yea, I just turned 38 last month so I'm not a youngun, but not quite gma material yet. :) All my kids but the 2 yr old are in school now so I have a little time during the day while she naps to paint.
Good idea posting the message there. I see there were 2 visiters to the gallery already today so maybe it worked!!
That sounds like a fun job. I'd be in heaven. ha Do you get an employee discount?
well, I gotta get working on those instructions. I hope they aren't too complicated, but if you have questions just ask ok. I'm self taught on the computer too so We'll figure it out together and amaze DH! I'm sure he already thinks he married the best woman in the world. ;)
Hi Anj and LUV,i come by here at least twice a day,but never see anyone here.
Well we three make a good bunch,a young mom,a gramma(luv) and then there's me a great gramma.So we've got 3 generations covered.Anj i've got 30 years on you,but as itell everyone,age is just a number,it's like cheese and wine,we get better with it. LOL
Havn't done any painting this week,we're tearing out our backyard and cutting down some trees,so busy doing that.Then i pick up my GS every day after school and keep him til his mom gets off work.
My friend sent me the picture of the cow i painted for her last night,but it's in an email.I just have to figure out how to get it from there to my photobucket acct,so i can post it here.
By the way luvs,if i can learn how to send pictures,so can you.LOL My GD was here visiting from AZ 2 summers ago and she taught me .That's what you need,a teenager or some young person,they know all about computors.
Hope you both have a great weekend!! Don't know what i'm going to do yet.Take each day as it comes.
Hi Ang, I am working a split shift tonight so came home for a couple hours and had to check on here of course. Got to head back and work till 9 for Market night.
Girl, at 38, you are in the prime of your life so enjoy those younguns and do the things that make you happy. Nothing as important as building those happy memories with the kids.
I usually don't think of myself as "old", but I do get the 55+ senior discount now! LOL Hey, I'll take a discount anytime! ;o)
I retired from 35+ years in bank supervision in 2005, took a year off, then decided I wanted to be out with people more, so took this little job. I do get a discount--but still find better bargains at GS and TS.
I really enjoy chatting with the customers and helping them find a treasure. When there are no customers, I dust and windex things to keep it looking good. It is fun to tag new items, and I really enjoy arranging the shelves. Two of us paint a bit, so we can take our pieces in to sell for a 70/30 split with the owner. (So far--none sold!)
Got to go, I'll chat more when I get home. Luvs
Kathi, I am back. You are so right about having a young person help with posting pics--in this case Anj is giving me some guidance--not as good as if she were sitting beside me, but so far so good. I am usually pretty good at following directions. You know the saying about old dogs! LOL Your yard looked so good already--were the trees just overgrown so needed to come out Are you having to transplant plants too, or were they not in the way? Hope you get things all completed so you can get back to your painting! Looking forward to seeing your cow too. Got to go find my camera now so I can snap some pics of some of my items--I am so excited to finally get to share with you guys too! Oh, if we're not on here when you stop by, leave a note, and we'll get back to you, okay? Luvs
Had to run to Wally's so we'd have some food in the house. I don't know why these things have to cut into my painting time. ha I did get my scarecrow and another pumpkin pattern transfered onto my fan blades, but not a drop of paint on there yet. I've got a lot of things to get done tonight before we have a church BBQ to attend. Maybe the weekend will be nice and quiet and I'll be able to lay brush to palate.
Luvs~ I'm trying to enjoy my kids, but all the work it takes to take care of them gets in the way sometimes.
I was Communications Co-ordinator/Admin Assist for Data Processing for a major restaurant distribution company, but decided to be a SAHM when I had my kids. That was almost 11 years ago. I've enjoyed being at home with them even though it's at times lonely. Not a lot of adult conversations. ha I can tell you all about Blues Clues and Dora the Explorer though! ha During my last pregnancy I joined a mommy group and I've made some good online buddies so that's really helpful. Feels like I'm a human again. Never thought I'd feel that way about people I've never met in person, but we have a lot of fun.
I don't know about ya'll, but I don't ever plan on getting old. I think I'll always feel like a teenager on the inside. I really love my DH's grandmother. You can talk to her about anything because she's just such a character. You'd never know she was close to 90. I think it's all in the attitude.
Kathi~ Your yard work sounds like a big project. Hope it doesn't take too long. we are waiting for you to paint with us! ha At least you can chat with us anyway.
I better go check the rest of the messages so I can get busy here. Time sure flies when your having fun. Later ladies. ~Anj
OK guys here goes my story and i'm sticking to it!!!! LOL
Earlier this year we needed to redo our backyard lawn,and dh didn't want to spend a lot of money to do it.So he roto tilled it himself,put down roundup,and then later planted grass.Mind you he has never done anything like this b4 in all the years we've lived here.
Now you also need to know that DH has the patients of a flea,wait----- i think even fleas have more patients than him.He also doesn't like to ask advice when going to the store and just skims the label of things.
Well he bought grass seed,planted it ,watered it and all that,but it kept dying,and also getting weeds in it.So a couple weeks ago we asked the owner of the company that does our lawns every week,he came over and checked it and told us:
1. Dh planted the wrong kind of seed,he planted temporary grass,the kind the sun kills very fast and we've had a lot of sun and hot days.
2. He didn't put enough roundup on it b4 he planted it to kill all the weed seeds and such.I told him that ,but he didn't listen to me.MEN.Grrrrrrrrrrrr
So he said we would have to take it out all over again and start all over and he wrote down what kind of seed to get for our area.So far dh has put roundup once and started rototilling,still has to do more of both.
Now for the tree,i had a princess flower tree,beautiful flowers,but MESSY,so i decided this week that i wanted it cut down.It's on the side of my house by my bedroom,and the yard over there and the neighbors walkway looked like purple carpet and every plant on that side of the house was also covered in purple petals,not to mention that they blew around to the front of my house and got all over my car.Picture a pearl colored car with purple blossoms/petals
:(.So i've spent the last few days helping to cut it down and today i've been out there washing all the petals off the other plants and raking up all those on the ground.Should finish it up tomorrow.
So if any of you decide to plant this tree plant it far away from the house and other plants.
Hi Anj & Kathi, Wow, it is so nice to sign on here and find other posts! Hey, were gettting to be just like a REAL forum! LOL Nice to see some of the other painters chiming in too--hope they keep coming by. Anj, I only had one son, but felt I HAD to work when he was little. Looking back now, I know I missed out on so much--and he was such a cute, sweet little guy (still is cute and sweet, but not so little!) I am so glad you were able to be home with yours and know it means you made a lot of sacrifices to do it--but you will be glad you did. Know what you mean about adult conversation--that's why I decided to work part time. DH still whines about not having my salary anymore, but we are doing just fine, and frankly, I was just burned out! Too many mergers and computer conversions and sales goals--you get the idea! Kathi, I had Crape Myrtle trees and they made a big mess too so I know what you mean. Hey, girl, at least your DH tried--mine wants nothing to do with the yard! He would rather not even have one if he has to work in it. LOL I like the grass and flowers, so it's my domain. ;o) Talk to you more later. Luvs
Kathi~ that sounds like a pretty big mess all around! And a lot of work. We had one of our trees fall last winter and we had hoped to get the roots out this summer and make that area into a firepit for us to gather around now when the weather is cooler, but alas, too many other projects claimed importance over that one. We'll have to do it next year. Yard work is fun in some ways, but those big projects sometimes not so fun. ha
Luvs~ I don't blame you for wanting out of the rat race. I will probably try to do something part time when my youngest gets in school just for the social aspect of it. Plus extra money coming in never hurts. We might actually get our addition put on before the kids are grown if I worked. ha But you are right, I have enjoyed being with them as they've been little. It's a great blessing. ~A
Anj,i have 4 kids,well they are all 40 something year old kids now.LOL and i also stayed home with mine until my dd the youngest was 4 years old.It was tough,as dh was a Marine and we all know they make peanuts for pay.But we made do or did without.I always sewed so i always made all our clothes,the curtains,bedspreads,quilts etc,you get the picture.
Then when i went to work when dd was 4,i worked the pm shift in a factory,so we only had to have a sitter for 1 1/2 to 2 hrs per day.I made dinner b4 i went to work ,so all dh had to do was make sure they ate,get the kitchen and dishes cleaned up,make sure the kids took their showers and did their homework.Then by 8 it was bedtime for all of them.
It worked out good for us for a lot of years,because one of us was always here with them.When he went overseas,then i would quit my job and take in babysitting,to supplement the income.
Now we're retired and do as we please when ever the mood strikes.
Kathi, we are in the same age group, I am 69, but no grandchildren. One daughter and SIL ages 41. Had our 50th anniversary in August. We were Navy for a totol of 28 years. DD was born in Spain and started to school in Scotland. Bill has been retired since 1982, retired in out home town, Pensacola, and that's when we started being full-time crafters and traveling on the craft circuits.
Bought a cabin in Indiana in 1987 on a major craft site, and have been goin up there every year in October.
Bill has 2 kinds of cancer now and we are taking things one day at a time.
Also, everytime you rototil, you bring up weed seeds that have been buried, which will mean more weeds sprouting.
Sorry! You can try -I think it's Preen- I haven't used it but it is a weed preventer, it keeps the seed from germination. DON'T get the one with the fertilizer in it. I think it is Preen and Green or something like that. I only want to kill the weeds so I can plant flowers, not grass, so I use black plastic to cover and kill.
Kathi, I totaly related to the "peanuts for pay" comment. DH spent about 11 years in military, so we moved quite a bit too, but never overseas.
I know you are still sewing, cause you showed us pics of your beautiful quilts--do you find the price of fabric really high now? I seldom buy fabric, only if doing a craft project, but seems to me it has really gone up. I try to find what I want on the sale tables.
You are to be commended for making the sacrifices to have one of you with the kids instead of having them in daycare, I am sure you can see the benefits now that they are grown. Know you have many memories of things that otherwise would have been missed.
I finally threw in the towel and retired--so glad I did. Love it! DH still has about 22 months to retirement. We are looking forward to it--bought a used motorhome and want to take a few trips now so we will be ready for longer ones then. It is nice to have the freedom to do whatever you want to, whenever you want, isn't it? Got to be some compensation for aging! LOL
Nonacook, so glad to see you over here too--please keep coming by--you are such an inspiration! You can give the rest of us the benefit of your experience. I want to hear more about your traveling the craft circuit too. Always thought I wanted to do that, but couldn't come up with a "hot seller" idea! LOL So sorry about your DH having to deal with cancer, that has to be so hard for both of you. Hope you will enjoy visiting with us, and that we can add enjoyment to your days too. Luvs
Hi Nona,
So good to see you over here,i always look at your stuff at GJ,but that stupid MSN never lets me reply,or maybe it's stupid me for not knowing more about computors.LOLI did sign up for msn quite awhile ago,but it always tells me my password or name is wrong,and i know it isn't because i always write all these things down,Can't rely on these old brains ya know!!!LOl
Sorry to hear about your dh,hope it's not an agressive kind of cancer.
My dh had a small stroke in 99,but he recovered quite well from it.That's when i started him gardening.He needed something to do as he was so depressed,so i turned over the lower part of the yard to him,and took him to buy some plants and the rest as they say is history!! One of the first things he did was build a pond,then a veggie garden,and fruit trees.He still has all those things except the veggies.
Yes i know about Preen,we have a big container in the shed that i use in the garden,but i never thought of putting it where the lawn will be.DUH!!!
Hang in there Nona,will keep you and dh in prayer,and hope to see you either here or at GJ.
HI Luvs
Yes fabric is quite high today,but i don't really buy all that much.If you saw my stash you'd know why.I also worked for 10 years in a quilt/craft store,so you can imagine what i have.I never brought home a paycheck.LOL
When i do go buy now it's usually something for the GK"s or the backing for a quilt,so i go to the 1 and 2.00 tables at walmart.I'm trying to use up my stash and i've given a lot of it away,and will probably give away more in the next few months as i weed out my sewing/craft/computor room.
Yes i'm glad dh and i made the sacrifices we did when our kids were young,it paid off very well.They were never in trouble as young people for anything more serious than speeding tickets or popping wheelies on their motorcycles.
Our oldest DS has his own very well known dirt bike shop and even has a contract with the Marines for building their bikes and teaching those guys how to ride.
DS#2 has a repair business i Guam,everything from toasters to 18 wheelers.
DS#3 builds decks on all those multimillion dollar homes in Laguna beach,Hunington beach and all those ritzy towns in S.Calif.
DD is in criminal justice in Az,so they've all done well for themselves.DD will get her masters next month and she put herself through college,while raising her kids.
So i'm proud of them and what they have become.I don't think it would have happened if we hadn't been there for them ,and made them responsible and accountable for their actions.
Hope you and dh have lots of time on the roads(did you see Oprah today)?
Take care,

According to a proposal described in RFC 0172 Declarative Services Annotations (page 187)?
The annotations are supported by bnd and Bndtools. They are used to generate the component XML declarations at build time.
Update: Yes, bnd does support the new standard annotations, in addition to its older set of annotations. In time (i.e. after the standard is actually published!), the old annotations will be deprecated and phased out.
One way to to work with new annotations would be:
CarrotGarden SCR is a combination of plugins that provides OSGI Service-Component descriptor generator according to the RFC 0172. It allows for interactive component descriptor updates in eclipse which will be compatible with your non-interactive jenkins maven builds. Fast, incremental, single descriptor per component. You can see how your descriptors are built in the eclipse maven console.
The author of this post has this project, and there's also this https://github.com/javakontor/OSGi-Service-Component-Annotation-Processor.
Might be better off asking back on FELIX-3170 or FELIX-3171? As (AFAIK) it's still a draft, so full compliant implementations will be scarce.

Tietjens inspired by Olympics
ESPN Staff
August 11, 2012
Gordon Tietjens celebrates winning the world series with DJ Forbes © Getty Images
All Blacks sevens coach Gordon Tietjens has named his training squad ahead of the new World Series season and revealed his excitement at rugby returning to the Olympics.
Tietjens named a 20-man squad for a training camp at Mt Maunganui next week with New Zealand beginning their defence of the IRB Sevens World Series crown on the Gold Coast in October. And with New Zealand enjoying a successful Olympics in London, Tietjens cannot wait until sevens is included in the Rio Games in 2016.
"It's been a real thrill watching the Olympics knowing we will be there in four years' time in Rio. The success of our athletes there has been really inspiring and I am sure their performances will be a great motivator for the players."
On his training squad, Tietjens said: "We're giving some new players an opportunity to show us what they can do in a Sevens environment given the unavailability of some players from last year for the first two tournaments of the season in October."
New Zealand squad: Jacob Ale, Mark Atkins, Tomasi Cama, Sam Dickson, DJ Forbes, Willis Halaholo, Kolio Hifo, Joe Hill, Mark Jackman, Warwick Lahmert, Rhys Lewellyn, Tevita Li, Tim Mikkelson, Kylem O'Donnell, Willie Paia'aua, Lote Raikabula, Belgium Tuatagaloa, Joe Tupe, Gareth William-Spiers, Jamie Verran

The strange case of american inequality
07 January 2014 [11:33] -
By J. Bradford DeLong
Former deputy assistant secretary of the US Treasury, is Professor of Economics at the University of California at Berkeley and a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research.
Unless something goes unexpectedly wrong in 2014, the level of real per capita GDP in the United States will match and exceed its 2007 level. That is not good news.
To see why, consider that, during the two business cycles that preceded the 2007 downturn, the US economy's real per capita GDP grew at a 2% average annual pace; indeed, for a century or so, the US economy's real per capita GDP grew at that rate. So US output is now seven years - 14% - below the level that was reasonably expected back in 2007. And there is nothing on the horizon that would return the US economy to - or even near - its growth path before the 2008 financial crisis erupted. The only consolation - and it is a bleak consolation indeed - is that Europe and Japan are doing considerably worse relative to the 2007 benchmark.
The US economy's annual per capita underperformance in 2014 will thus amount to $9,000. That means $9,000 per person per year in consumer durables not purchased, vacations not taken, investments not made, and so forth. By the end of 2014, the cumulative per capita waste from the crisis and its aftermath will total roughly $60,000.
If we project that forward - with nothing visible to restore the US to its pre-2008 growth path - at the annual real discount rate of 6% that we apply to equity earnings, the future costs are $150,000 per capita. If we use the 1.6% annual real discount rate at which the US Treasury can borrow via 30-year inflation-protected Treasuries, the future per capita costs are $550,000. And if we combine the costs of idle workers and capital during the downturn and the harm done to the US economy's future growth path, the losses reach 3.5-10 years of total output.
That is a higher share of America's productive capabilities than the Great Depression subtracted - and the US economy is 16 times larger than it was in 1928 (5.5 times larger in per capita terms). So, unless something - and it will need to be something major - returns the US to its pre-2008 growth trajectory, future economic historians will not regard the Great Depression as the worst business-cycle disaster of the industrial age. It is we who are living in their worst case.
One would think that such a macroeconomic disaster - one that robs the average American family of four of $36,000 per year in useful goods and services, and that threatens to keep Americans poorer than they might have been for decades, if not longer - would focus policymakers' minds. One would think that America's leaders would be clambering to formulate policies aimed at returning the economy to its pre-2008 growth path: putting people back to work, cleaning up underwater mortgages, restoring financial markets' risk-bearing capacity, and boosting investment.
But no. Part of the reason is that, at the top, there is no crisis. According to the best estimates, the income share of America's top 10% probably crossed 50% in 2012 for the first time ever, and the 22% income share that went to the top 1% was exceeded only in 2007, 2006, and 1928. The incomes of America's top 10% are two-thirds higher than those of their counterparts 20 years ago, while the incomes of the top 1% have more than doubled.
Those who fall into the top strata thus regard themselves as doing well in the current US economy. And indeed they are. Only those who spend more time talking to competent macroeconomists than is healthy know that they could be doing even better if the economy were rebalanced at full employment. So the absence of distress among America's top 10% and its top 1% - and hence political pressure for measures to return the economy to its pre-2008 growth path - is understandable.
But, for everyone else - roughly 90% of the US population - there has been no jump in income share relative to ten or 20 years ago to offset what now looks to be a permanent lost decade. On the contrary, the bottom 90% has continued to lose ground.
When income inequality began to rise in the 1980's and 1990's, those of us who cut our teeth on the long march of North Atlantic history expected to see a political reaction. Democratic politics, we thought, would check the rising power of a largely parasitic economic over-class, especially if its influence caused governments to fail to live up to their commitments to provide full employment with increasing - and increasingly shared - prosperity.
After all, in early-nineteenth-century Britain, growing inequality caused by the Industrial Revolution gave rise to movements for government regulation in the interests of the middle and working classes, and for a rebalancing of real incomes away from rich landlords. Similarly, the Great Depression produced enormous political pressure for reform and change (often for destructive and dangerous change, to be sure, but pressure nonetheless).
Why can't America launch similar movements today? To the extent that this has become a valid question, most Americans should be as worried today about the quality of their democracy as they are about the inequality of their incomes.
