text: Hornish Starting 15th in Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400October 19, 2012KANSAS CITY, Kan. (October 19, 2012) – Shell-Pennzoil Dodge driver qualified 15th for Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400 here at the newly resurfaced and reconfigured Kansas Speedway. Hornish circled the 1.5-mile layout in 28.407 seconds (190.094 mph) on a day that saw all qualifiers (including three who did not make the race) turn in faster laps than the old track qualifying record (29.858 seconds/180.856 mph)."Our Shell-Pennzoil Dodge Charger was good, but I messed up the first lap," Hornish said after making his run. "I thought that I could arc the first corner a little bit more but I didn't have the rear security that I wanted. We just missed a bit." Kasey Kahne won the Coors Light Pole Award today with a lightning-fast lap of 28.219 seconds (191.360 mph). Mark Martin was a close second with his lap of 28.237 seconds (191.238 mph). Clint Bowyer was third with a 28.250-second (191.130 mph) lap, Kyle Busch (28.258 seconds/191.096 mph) fourth and Aric Almirola (28.274 seconds/190.988 mph) fifth. The top-15 qualifiers eclipsed the 190 mph mark. "It's really fast," Hornish explained to Dodge SRT's Scott Sebastian. "Even though we're going a bit quicker in the Cup cars it's a little bit more comfortable than the Nationwide cars are right now. It's really fast in the Nationwide car with the amount of power that they have. Some of the traffic that we have on the Nationwide side of things will make that race really interesting. "As far as the Cup cars are concerned, I feel the key for us is the sun to come out and warm the track up a bit," Hornish offered. "I think if that happens you'll see some guys be able to move around a bit. It's just so hard to do it right now because any part of the track that hasn't been raced on the last two days is dusty and dirty, the wind has been blowing around, and it just makes it hard to get a line. It's just going to be one of those things where (it) keeps creeping and creeping into play. Hopefully by time the Nationwide cars race tomorrow that we'll have enough Cup practice where we'll have some guys moving around and bring that line in a bit." Penske Racing teammate Brad Keselowski, currently atop the Sprint Cup point standings with five races remaining this season, qualified 25th. He circled the new layout in 28.606 seconds (188.772 mph) in his run against the clock this afternoon. Saturday's Cup schedule here at Kansas Speedway calls for morning practice from 10:00 a.m. till 10:50 a.m. and the final "Happy Hour" practice session from 12:50 p.m. till 1:50 p.m. (live on SPEED-TV). Sunday's Hollywood Casino 400 (267 Laps, 400.5 miles) has a scheduled 1:00 p.m. CDT (2:00 p.m. EDT) starting time and features live coverage by ESPN-TV and MRN Radio. Back to previous page.

Wacha looks to get Cards moving in right direction
Cubs counter with Hammel in third game of four-game set in St. Louis
After 40 games last season, the Cardinals were 26-14 and had a 1 1/2-game lead in the National League Central. They were batting over .300 with runners on and seemed unstoppable. This year hasn't been the same.
The Cardinals head into Wednesday's game at Busch Stadium against the Cubs still trying to find themselves.
"I still think this is a talented club and I still believe in it," St. Louis general manager John Mozeliak said. "But having a belief in something is far different than actually getting it done. I think right now it's still early in the season where you can't hit the panic button. But you've got to see the trend line change a little bit."
Monday's loss, a 17-5 romp by the Cubs, was "embarrassing," Mozeliak said.
"We have to do a better job than that," he said. "Everybody's accountable for that. Certainly, you've got to see things changing."
After the Cardinals evened the series with Tuesday's 4-3 walk-off win in 12 innings, Michael Wacha gets the start Wednesday, and the right-hander is 1-1 against the Cubs this season, picking up a win in St. Louis on April 13 and taking the loss May 3 at Wrigley Field. Chicago batted .213 against him in the two games, collecting 10 hits over 12 1/3 total innings.
Jason Hammel will take the mound for the Cubs, looking for his fifth win and a chance to avenge a no-decision against the Cardinals on May 4. In that game, the right-hander gave up three runs over six innings. Jhonny Peralta will likely be in the St. Louis lineup; he's 8-for-17 against Hammel in his career with two homers and eight RBIs.
Hammel ranks fourth in the NL in WHIP, which is the statistic he feels pitchers should be graded on.
"I just know that after a while, you figure out -- if you don't let them on base, you don't have to deal with them," Hammel said.
What lineup will Chicago manager Rick Renteria come up with? He's had the same lineup in back-to-back games only once this season. While fans are clamoring for more of Mike Olt, who leads all NL rookies with eight home runs, Renteria wants the third baseman to play in favorable matchups to help his development. Patience is the key word for the Cubs.
The Cardinals aren't used to being patient. They've scored fewer runs this season than the Cubs (153-149), and are averaging 3.7 runs per game, which is a full run lower than last season. The lack of offense has hurt Wacha. St. Louis is averaging 2.1 runs of support through his eight starts and has lost his last five outings.
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny is tired of talking about finding key moments to turn things around.
"I keep saying, 'This is the one,'" Matheny said. "I'm done. I'm done with that. It's just a bunch of hot air. If I was a listener, I'd be tired of hearing it. I'm tired of saying it. We just have to do it. That's all there is to it."
Cubs: Painting Wrigley green
Wrigley Field's landmark marquee will return to its original green color with gold trim on Wednesday. The change is part of the ballpark's 100th anniversary party.
On Wednesday, the Cubs and Benjamin Moore will begin painting the marquee to match its mid-1930s color scheme. The sign, located at Clark and Addison streets, was installed in 1934.
The Cubs worked with Harboe Architects and Wiss, Janney, Elsnter Associates, Inc. to research the marquee's color scheme from the era, which included removing layers of paint and primer to expose the first layer of enamel. Samples were then color-matched by Benjamin Moore to determine the Mallard Green and French Quarter Gold paints that will be used.
Benjamin Moore will provide limited-edition Cubs/Benjamin Moore T-shirts for up to 1,000 fans who want to view the painting event Wednesday. Guests will be invited to paint a large-scale baseball bat-themed mural on-site.
The first brush stroke is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. CT.
Cardinals: Bullpen seeks a respite
St. Louis' bullpen has carried a heavy load through the first two games of this series and could use a deep start by Wacha to reset on Wednesday. After covering five innings in Monday's 12-run loss, the 'pen handled another six in a 12-inning game on Tuesday. Trevor Rosenthal's inability to hold a one-run lead in the ninth forced Matheny to use three additional relievers.
The Cardinals were able to stay away from Randy Choate, who threw 35 pitches in the series opener. It's questionable whether Choate will be available on Wednesday. St. Louis will certainly be without right-hander Seth Maness, who has pitched on four consecutive days.
The Cards will be helped by the fact that they fortified their 'pen on Tuesday by bringing up a pair of fresh relievers from Triple-A Memphis. Sam Freeman took the mound and threw a scoreless inning in the extra-inning game. Jorge Rondon is still waiting for his first big league opportunity.
"When these times come, basically the conversation goes toward the front office and our development and the coaching staff in the Minor Leagues," Matheny said in explaining the choice of promoted pitchers. "We all get together and figure out who looks the most prepared and is ready to come and help us, whose throwing the ball well. Jorge has been throwing the ball exceptionally well, as Sam Freeman has."
Worth noting
• Starlin Castro committed his sixth error of the season and first since May 3 in the sixth inning Tuesday. He's tied for second among NL shortstops in miscues with the Padres' Everth Cabrera.
• Neil Ramirez threw a season-high 1 2/3 innings in relief for the Cubs on Tuesday.

Pokémon Master

Pokémon Master is a position that many Pokémon Trainers want to achieve. However, it has never been properly told what a Pokémon Master is and how to achieve such a position of power. There are many theories which try to reveal the mysteries of a Pokémon Master and answer the many questions that can explain the title of a Pokémon Master.
- Many believe that a Pokémon Master is a Pokémon Trainer who has captured all Pokémon.
- However, this would be practically impossible for any Pokémon Trainer to achieve in reality.A Pokémon Trainer would have to capture all the Pokémon' which is extremely hard.
- Many believe that a Pokémon Master is a Pokémon Trainer who have defeated all Gym Leaders and obtained all the Gym Badges.
- Another theory that many believe is that in order to become a Pokémon Master is to defeat the Elite Four and become the Champion.
- A Pokémon Master is a trainer who can never be defeated.
- Ash Ketchum once mentioned that a trainer needed to capture at least one of every type of Pokémon (i.e. Fire, Ice, Dragon, etc...). It is assumed that this excludes Mythic, Legendary, and Extinct types.
- In the season finale of Pokémon: DP Sinnoh League Victors, he also states that by defeating the Sinnoh League Champion, Cynthia, he will become a Pokémon Master, although details of this are not known.
- According to The Official Pokémon Handbook, a Pokémon Trainer would deserve the position of Pokémon Master by either capturing or defeating Mewtwo.
- In the anime and manga, this would be practically impossible to achieve.
- In the Electric Tales of Pikachu manga, a Pokémon Master is simply a trainer who is a professional in Pokémon battling, takes part in many Pokémon tournaments and is well known.
- Some believe that one can become a Pokémon Master after defeating the Elite Four and Battle Frontier of every region.
- It is also possible that one must win all league tournaments, capture as many Pokémon as possible along with large amount of knowledge of them and become unbeatable to become an Pokémon Master. In the anime, dream version of Professor Oak (created by Mismagius) told Ash that his "records" were high enough to him to enter any master tournament, even though in reality they weren't. This could mean that trainer needs to win enough championships and Battle Frontiers and then compete in specific tournament and win it to become Pokémon master.
- This is Ash Ketchum's main goal as a Pokémon trainer, although it is unknown how close he is to reaching it.

I love a good rice dish, and I love spicy beef so this recipe sounded like something I would enjoy. I just received my order from the Asian Food Grocer and was excited with all my Asian ingredients and my lovely chopsticks. One of the items I purchased was Jasmine rice. I modified the recipe, which was on the back of the rice package by tweaking the seasoning, adding more vegetables and using lean beef.

Banana Corn Muffin Recipe
Whisk in a mixing bowl:
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line twelve muffin cups with paper liners.
Beat to combine. The batter should be smooth and medium thick. If it feels too stiff add a spoonful of coconut milk to thin. If, by chance, the batter is very thin, add a sprinkle of potato starch to thicken it.

Karina's Notes:
- For those of you who cannot bake with cornmeal, I'm wondering if a combo flour mix of almond meal and buckwheat wouldn't be to die for?
- For those of you using eggs, use two free-range organic eggs, beaten.
- Gluten-free vegan batter really is different from traditional wheat flour based batter. It's not just a rumor. Gluten-free egg-free muffins won't puff and rise as much as their wheat based cousins. So fill your muffin cups a bit higher than you used to.
- This is a gum-free recipe, but if you prefer, add a teaspoon of xanthan gum or guar gum. The honey or agave helps add stickiness.

Well, after yesterday's somewhat melancholy post, I thought I needed something uplifting.� I pulled out some frozen salmon fillets I'd bought on special a few weeks ago.� Planning to broil them, I thought they might look pretty naked on the plate.� And I didn't want to go the regular dill route, especially cause the family hates the cucumber dill sauce that I love.� So it was time for a little change.
Instead I whipped up a roasted pepper sauce.� No suffering over the roasted peppers, although my grandmother's way does taste best (blacken them in an open flame on a gas stove, put them in a paper bag to sweat, then rub of the blackened skin with finger, seed and de-rib, and sprinkle with salt and olive oil and refrigerate until ready to use). Those are great when I get a rare time alone and eat them with warm Italian bread – nothing else.
Instead of all that work, I open a jar of roasted red peppers.� Pastene is my favorite brand because instead of living on their laurels, they have actually improved the quality over the last two years.� I get this in the international or the Italian food section.� I'm always read the label carefully to be sure they are just roasted peppers and not vinegar peppers, great, but not for these recipes.
This recipe calls for smoked paprika.� It has a deep smoky flavor which is very comparable to chipotle powder.� I use them interchangeably, so if I have one and not the other on the spice shelf, it's an easy substitution.
So, here below is my roasted pepper sauce.� Delicious over grilled or broiled salmon, the recipe can be altered slightly to be used as a dip for vegetables or crackers.� It also makes a spectacular salad dressing.
To turn the recipe below into a dip: add one more pepper and take out the tomato paste.� To turn it into a salad dressing: go down to 1 pepper and 1 garlic clove, skip the mayo and tomato paste; add more olive oil and lemon juice until the consistency looks like it will toss with greens and vegetables.
Makes about 1 cup
I gently boil the garlic cloves for 2 to 3 minutes to turn the volume down on its sharp flavor.
2 to 3 roasted red peppers, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 teaspoon tomato paste
a pinch, or more to taste, smoked paprika
1 teaspoon lemon juice, if needed
1. Dry the roasted peppers on paper towels until no water from rinsing remains.
2.� Pulse all the ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. �If more liquid is needed to smooth the mixture, use a teaspoon of lemon juice: it will keep the color and flavors bright.� Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Buying Guide
Voice Recorders are unique and useful devices, they're also very specialized and really aimed at only a certain market segment. When most people think of portable audio devices a voice recorder usually never comes to mind. In this digital age we live in the Voice Recorder has all but replaced the micro cassette recorders for their ease of use and large storage capacities. The ability to use our computer with the voice recorder and software to easily and quickly transcribe our notes is something that is very common.
The shape of most voice recorders resembles the micro cassette recorder and I think this is purposeful as it's shape and size are familiar to people. There though most of the resemblance, and similarities are gone, with of course the exception of a few key features that are an integral part of any voice recorder.
For the most part digital voice recorders are a business oriented product but they can be utilized by the common consumer as well. They're great for taking notes on things you need to remember, or even using it with your current job to remind you of what you need to do. Of course the average person won't need a feature packed recorder, a basic one will do fine, but you might find some of the features of the higher end recorders attractive as well. Voice Recorders have many uses like for students to take notes in class, sure you can write them down, but you could miss something, so why not record the teacher to go over the lesson later? Writing a book, a voice recorder can come in very handy to take notes about ideas that pop into your head. Basically the can be used for anything you can think of to record on them, they've got pretty much unlimited uses.
There are many features that you can find on voice recorders, with some that are present as a standard feature on all, but of course the higher cost the more features you'll have.
Specs and Features you'll want to pay attention to on Voice Recorders:
Recording Time is the most obvious thing you'll want to pay attention to, you don't want to run out of memory in the middle of a conference, class, or while taking notes on your latest best selling novel to be. Some recorders come equipped with a memory card slot so that you can expand the on-board storage capacity if need be so you'll be sure not to run out of space.
Portability is a key factor as well, you want one that is small and lightweight, especially if you're carrying other things around with you, you don't want to add any more weight than you have to.
Ease of use is something to take into account when purchasing any tech related product, but with voice recorders you don't want to be fumbling around trying to find a button in the middle of a meeting. Try and find one with the main buttons in an easy to reach place, or with buttons that are clearly defined compared to the other function buttons.
Speakers are something that you might not think of when it comes to voice recorders, most come with a single built in speaker but some will come with detachable speakers that are great for use with presentations
Recording Range is a very important feature as well and it's one that will differ greatly depending on your needs; if you only record close up, like taking personal notes then most any will do fine, but if you plan on recording things across the room then you'll want to check the microphone sensitivity and approximate range.
Recording Features are several in number but can include voice activated recording which starts and stops recording automatically for you
Microphones come with all voice recorders, they all have one that's built in obviously or you couldn't record, but some will also come with larger microphones that are more sensitive and can be removed. Some voice recorders also have the ability to attach several external microphones if need be, this is great for conference or meetings to make sure everyone gets heard.
Battery Life is a very important specification to look at when purchasing a voice recorder, you don't want to run out of juice in the middle of a long day. Some recorders have the option of purchasing a rechargeable battery pack also, so you could have more than one battery with you, and with rechargeables of course you won't have to be buying new batteries.
Bundled Software is something that some people might be interested in, many recorders come with software that is installed on your PC that is used to transcribe your notes automatically for you. Of course there is a premium to pay for the software but the extra cost is usually less than buying the recorder and software separately. Please note that many Voice recorders don't have the ability to be connected to a PC, so if you do need a feature like this make sure to check and verify if the model you're interested in supports it.
A USB connection is something else to check for, it's more for those that need to transfer their recordings to a computer, but some recorders need special software or drivers to transfer the files. Try and find one that does not require any drivers or software, that way you can easily transfer your files to any device or computer with a USB connection.
The File Format that the recorder saves into is something else to keep in mind, the MP3 format is the most easily read and utilized by any computer, and they can be read and played by pretty much any other audio device as well like an MP3 player.
LCD Screens can be a nice feature if you require them, but of course they'll add a higher cost the the product. The LCD screen will show you information like battery life, recording time and other information for using and keeping track of what's on the recorder.
Some recorders will allow you to create separate 'folders' or have a limited number of 'folders' on the device to allow you to keep things separate if need be. This is great for keeping business and personal notes apart from each other, so if you like the be organized be sure to check for this feature.
Voice Recorders are similar to dictaphones of old in that they can be used the same way and can have some of the same accessories like a foot pedal to activate recording.
There are many other accessories that you can get for your voice recorder as well, like Stereo Microphones, High Quality Microphones, Transcription Kits, Tie Clip Microphones, Remote Controls, Kits to record phone calls, and many other accessories that make using them easier and the recordings better. What accessory you need of course will depend on what you're using the voice recorder for, but all serve a purpose to the right person.
As far as buying a Voice Recorder goes, be sure to figure out what you need it to do, that 's the first and foremost thing to think about when purchasing one. Make sure one that you decide on can do everything you need and want, with all of the brands out there you'll most likely end up with several choices that fit your needs. Then you can narrow it down by checking out the actual features and specs, and then narrow it down further by finding out what other people think of it through product reviews or sites like TestFreaks where regular people come and rate the products based on their own personal experiences with it.

Oh, well that's my bad. I probably shoud have paid more attention to the Manga and such.
I don't really see how it would be possible for him to "Merge" the swords together. Whilst it would be awesome, i don't see the Earl going up to Neah and saying "Here Neah have my sword so that you can turn it into something can beat me!". Unless it happens during the final fight with the Millenium Count.
But, i also don't know just how far Neah's abilities stretch.
The twins (Jasdebi and Debitto if i remember correctly), the Noah's that represent bonds, have the ability to "Materialise". Essentially giving them the ability to make anything (Even completely impossible stuff) in the known omniverse. Neah, as you said, possibly has the ability to "Harmonize" (That's what i'm calling it anyway) with anything and everything. I don't know just what such ability would entail though. If he can synchronize his opponent, does that mean he could effectively turn himself into a Voodoo doll? IE, whatever damage goes to him goes towards the person that the Voodoo doll represents. (Self sacrifice to kill the Earl anyone?) If he can synchronise with someone else, it might be possible for him to do *Steal* someone elses arm. Tykki is extremely similar to Neah, maybe he'd steal his arm? He'd gain Tease as a weapon as well, which would be a mighty big help against the other Noah. Not to mention his ability to "Choose" what he touches. However, if his power is something, say, more vibration based, then (This is going with superhero logic though) could he possibly vibrate his own atoms so fast that he could phase through solid matter?
If the Earl is storing the memory outwardly, then where oh where could he be keeping it is the question?
From this chapter, you could argue that Neah is either triyng to protect Allen/himself, or is just being a douche. Now, what this means is that it's very possible that Neah could have grown attached to his host. What that would mean, however, is still unknown. Neah isn't in a position to protect Allen now, is he? In this situation, it doesn't really seem to matter just whether or not Neah is a jackass or not, as Kanda will fight him either way. I don't think Neah is in it for the power. It just, doesn't feel like Neah is going through with this just to obtain power, call it a gut instinct, but that's just how it feels to me. To back up my gut feeling, Mana was human, so maybe he simply feel empathetic to his dead brother and doesn't want the Noah's kill anymore? It's definetely a possiblity.
Mana is alive well, as Tykki's host. I don't think so. Allen would EASILY have recognised Tykki as being Mana if he was, but i do think that since Hoshino has had many a plot-hole character wise this just might be one. So, say Tykki DOES turn out to be using Mana's body. What then? Would Allen still have the will to fight? How would this affect the other characters? Neah especially.
Yes, very possible.
I think Leverrier might be saying that since Allen is "The 14th" and the 14th wasn't part of the Noah clan from the beginning. I think that with time, more people, the 15th, the 16th, ETC ETC will rise. Or maybe that's just Leverrier's guess or the situation. But, he does say "Humanity", so it's very possible still that he isn't speaking of that.
So do the Exorcists say that God wants them to fight. Both sides think that God is with them. I personally see both of them as, say, the flipsides of the same coin.
True. But a statement of fact doesn't really help explain what will happen. Noah's act superior when really, without Humanity there wouldn't BE any of them here. With the exception of the Millenium Earl.
But that raises the question: Could Neah make his own army of Akuma? Or, could he make something much more dangerous?

Thalassemia is a blood disorder. It cuts down the amount of red blood cells and hemoglobin that the body can make. Red blood cells carry oxygen to all the organs in the body. Hemoglobin is a part of red blood cells that help grab oxygen at the lungs. Low levels of red blood cells and hemoglobin can lead to anemia. Anemia interferes with normal bodily functions.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Thalassemias are split into two main categories. The categories are based on the part of hemoglobin that is affected:
Thalassemia is caused by faults in specific genes. It is an inherited disorder. This means the affected person received the faulty genes from the parents. The severity of the thalassemia will depend on the number of faulty genes that a child inherits. There are four genes needed for hemoglobin, two from each parent. The number of genes that are faulty will determine the severity and subtype of thalassemia:
Factors that increase your chance of thalassemia include:
Silent carriers will have no symptoms. For others, symptoms most often begin within 3-6 months of birth.
Symptoms of mild or moderate anemia may include:
Symptoms of severe anemia include:
General symptoms of thalassemia include:
Thalassemia can also lead to complications such as:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Blood tests will be done to measure levels of:
Treatment will be based on the type and severity of anemia. Mild forms may not need treatment. More severe forms may need:
Blood transfusions will help provide healthy new red blood cells. The blood comes from a donor and is carefully screened before it is delivered in a transfusion.
Repeated blood transfusions can lead to high levels of iron in the blood. This can damage the heart, liver, and other vital organs. Certain medications can bind to the iron and carry it out of the body through urine.
Healthy stem cells from a donor's bone marrow are injected into your vein. The new cells travel through the blood into the bone cavities. There, they can produce new normal blood cells. This may be a cure in some. However, it can be hard to find a good match with a donor.
Thalassemia can cause the spleen to enlarge. An enlarged spleen can make anemia worse. A splenectomy is a surgery to remove the spleen. It may help reduce the number of blood transfusions that are needed.
Complications and impact on your daily activities may be reduced by following basic healthy lifestyle tips:
This disease is inherited. Blood tests and family genetic studies will show if you are a carrier. A genetic counselor can discuss the risks of passing on the disease.

Groovy 1.8 release notes
Command chains for nicer Domain-Specific Languages
Groovy is well known for its Domain-Specific Language capabilities, thanks to its flexible syntax, and its compile-time and runtime metaprogramming capabilities. However, we felt that we could improve upon the syntax to get rid of even more punctuation when users chain method calls, to allow DSL implementors to develop language closer to natural sentences.
Before Groovy 1.8, we could omit parentheses around the arguments of a method call for top level statements. But we couldn't chain method calls. The new "command chain" feature allows us to chain such parenthese-free method calls, without requiring neither parentheses around arguments, nor dots between the chained calls. The general idea is that a call like a b c d
will actually be equivalent to a(b).c(d)
. This is also working with multiple arguments, closure arguments, and even named arguments. Furthermore, such command chains can also appear on the right-hand side of assignments. Let's have a look at some examples of the kind of syntaxes that this allows:
It is also possible to use methods, in the chain, which don't take arguments, but in the case, the parentheses are needed:
If your command chain contains an odd number of elements, the chain will be composed of method / arguments, and will finish by a final property access:
This new command chain approach opens up interesting possibilities in terms of DSLs that are now possible to be written. This new feature has been developed thanks to the Google Summer of Code program, where our student, Lidia, helped us modify the Groovy Antlr grammar to extend top-level statements to accept that command chain syntax.
The above examples illustrate using a GEP-3 DSL but not how to create one. You will be able to find some further examples of "command chains" on the Groovy Web Console but to illustrate creating such a DSL, we will show one example - first using maps and Closures:
Or if you prefer Japanese and a metaprogramming style (see here for more details):
Performance improvements
In general the goal of these improvements is to bypass the MOP where allowed and possible without altering the original MOP too much.
Groovy 1.8.0 contains several integer based optimizations for basic operations like plus, minus, multiply, increment, decrement and comparisons. This versiondoesn't support the mixed usage of different types and then falls back to the classical way of performing the operation.
This version also contains an optimization for direct method calls. Such a method call is done directly if it is done on "this" and if the argument types are a direct match with the parameter types of the method we may call. Since this is an operation that does not behave too well with a method call logic based on runtime types we select only methods where the primtive types match, the parameter types are final or for methods that take no arguments. Currently methods with variable arguments are not matched in general, unless a fitting array is used for the method call.
Those two optimizations are only the beginning of further similar improvements related to primitive type handline. Upcoming versions of the Groovy 1.8.x branch will see more optimizations coming.
GPars bundled within the Groovy distribution
The GPars project offers developers new intuitive and safe ways to handle Java or Groovy tasks concurrently, asynchronously, and distributed by utilizing the power of the Java platform and the flexibility of the Groovy language. Groovy 1.8 now bundles GPars 0.11 in the libraries of the Groovy installation, so that you can leverage all the features of the library for your concurrent, asynchronous and parallel needs.
To learn more about GPars, head over to the GPars website, or read the detailed online user guide.
Closure enhancements
Closures are a central and essential piece of the Groovy programming language, and are used in various ways throughout the Groovy APIs. In Groovy 1.8, we introduce the ability to use closures as annotation parameters. Closures are also part of what gives Groovy its functional flavor.
Closure annotation parameters
In Java, there's a limited set of types you can use as annotation parameters (String, primitives, annotations, classes, and arrays of these). But in Groovy 1.8, we're going further and let you use closures as annotation parameters – which are actually transformed into a class parameter for compatibility reasons.
Closure annotation parameters open up some interesting possibilities for framework authors! And for instance, this is the approach taken by the GContracts project, which brings the "Design by Contract" paradigm to Groovy.
Closure functional flavors
Closure composition
If you recall your math lessons, function composition may be a concept you're familiar with. And in turn, closure composition is about that: the ability to compose closures together to form a new closure which chains the call of those closures. Here's an example of composition in action:
To see more examples of closure composition and reverse composition, please have a look at our test case.
Closure trampoline
When writing recursive algorithms, you may be getting the infamous stack overflow exceptions, as the stack starts to have a too high depth of recursive calls. An approach that helps in those situations is by using closures and the new trampoline capability.
Closures are wrapped in a TrampolineClosure
. Upon calling, a trampolined closure will call the original closure waiting for its result. If the outcome of the call is another instance of a TrampolineClosure
, created perhaps as a result to a call to the trampoline()
method, the closure will again be invoked. This repetitive invocation of returned trampolined closures instances will continue until a value other than a trampolined closure is returned. That value will become the final result of the trampoline. That way, calls are made serially, rather than filling the stack.
Here's an example of the use of trampoline()
to implement the factorial function:
Closure memoization
Another improvement to closures is the ability to memoize the outcome of previous (ideally side-effect free) invocations of your closures. The return values for a given set of closure parameter values are kept in a cache, for those memoized closures. That way, if you have an expensive computation to make that takes seconds, you can put the return value in cache, so that the next execution with the same parameter will return the same result – again, we assume results of an invocation are the same given the same set of parameter values.
There are three forms of memoize functions:
- the standard
which caches all the invocations memoizeAtMost(max)
call which caches a maximum number of invocationsmemoizeAtLeast(min)
call which keeps at least a certain number of invocation results- and
memoizeBetween(min, max)
which keeps a range results (between a minimum and a maximum)
Let's illustrate that:
Native JSON support
With the ubiquity of JSON as an interchange format for our applications, it is natural that Groovy added support for JSON, in a similar fashion as the support Groovy's always had with XML. So Groovy 1.8 introduces a Json builder and parser.
JSON parser
A JsonSlurper class allows you to parse JSON payloads, and access the nested Map and List data structures representing that content. JSON objects and arrays are indeed simply represented as Maps and Lists, giving you access to all the GPath expression benefits (subscript/property notation, find/findAll/each/inject/groupBy/etc.). Here's an example showing how to find all the recent commit messages on the Grails project:
If you want to see some more examples of the usage of the JSON parser, you can have a look at the JsonSlurper tests in our code base.
JSON builder
Parsing JSON data structures is one thing, but we should also be able to produce JSON content just like we create markup with the MarkupBuilder. The following example:
Will create the JSON output:
You can find some more usages of the JSON builder in our JsonBuilder tests.
Pretty printing JSON content
When given a JSON data sturcture, you may wish to pretty-print it, so that you can more easily inspect it, with a more friendly layout. So for instance, if you want to pretty print the result of the previous example, you could do:
Which would result in the following pretty-printed output:
New AST Transformations
You can annotate your classes with the @Log transformation to automatically inject a logger in your Groovy classes, under the log
property. Four kind of loggers are actually available:
for java.util.logging@Commons
for Commons-Logging@Log4j
for Log4J@Slf4j
for SLF4J
Here's a sample usage of the @Log transformation:
You can change the name of the logger by specifying a different name, for instance with @Log('myLoggerName')
Another particularity of these logger AST transformations is that they take care of wrapping and safe-guarding logger calls with the usual isSomeLevelEnabled()
calls. So when you write log.info 'Car constructed'
, the generated code is actually equivalent to:
When defining variables in a script, those variables are actually local to the script's run method, so they are not accessible from other methods of the script. A usual approach to that problem has been to store variables in the binding, by not def'ining those variables and by just assigning them a value. Fortunately, the @Field
transformation provides a better alternative: by annotating your variables in your script with this annotation, the annotated variable will become a private field of the script class.
More concretely, you'll be able to do as follows:
@PackageScope enhancements
The @PackageScope annotation can be placed on classes, methods or fields and is used for turning off Groovy's visibility conventions and reverting back to Java conventions. This ability is usually only needed when using 3rd party libraries which rely on the package scope visibility. When adding the @PackageScope
annotation to a field, Groovy will assign package scope access to the field rather than automatically treating it as a property (and adding setters/getters). Annotating a class or method with @PackageScope
will cause Groovy to revert to Java's convention of leaving the class/method as package scoped rather than automatically promoting it to public scope. The class variant can also take one or more parameters to allow nested setting of visibility of attributes within the class - see the Javadoc for more details. Recent versions of Groovy 1.7 have had a more limited version of this annotation.
The @AutoClone
annotation is placed on classes which you want to be Cloneable
. The annotation instructs the compiler to execute an AST transformation which adds a public clone()
method and adds Cloneable
to the classes implements list of interfaces. Because the JVM doesn't have a one-size fits all cloning strategy, several customizations exist for the cloning implementation:
- By default, the
method will callsuper.clone()
before callingclone()
on eachCloneable
property of the class. Example usage:Which will create a class of the following form: - Another popular cloning strategy is known as the copy constructor pattern. If any of your fields are
you should setstyle=COPY_CONSTRUCTOR
which will then use the copy constructor pattern. - As a final alternative, if your class already implements the
interface, you might like to setstyle=SERIALIZATION
which will then use serialization to do the cloning.
See the Javadoc for AutoClone
for further details.
The @AutoExternalizable
class annotation is used to assist in the creation of Externalizable
classes. The annotation instructs the compiler to execute an AST transformation which adds writeExternal()
and readExternal()
methods to a class and adds Externalizable
to the interfaces which the class implements. The writeExternal()
method writes each property (or field) for the class while the readExternal()
method will read each one back in the same order. Properties or fields marked as transient
are ignored. Example usage:
Which will create a class of the following form:
Controlling the execution of your code
When integrating user-provided Groovy scripts and classes in your Java application, you may be worried about code that would eat all your CPU with infinite loops, or that call methods like System.exit(0)
(for the latter, check the section on compiler customizers, and particularly the SecureASTCustomizer
). It would be interesting to have a wait to control the execution of that Groovy code, to be able to interrupt its execution when the thread is interrupted, when a certain duration has elapsed, or when a certain condition is met (lack of resources, etc).
Groovy 1.8 introduces three transformations for those purposes, as we shall see in the following sections. By default, the three transformations add some checks in at the beginning of each method body, and each closure body, to check whether a condition of interruption is met or not.
Note that those transformations are local (triggered by an annotation). If you want to apply them transparently, so that the annotation doesn't show up, I encourage you to have a look at the ASTTransformationCustomizer
explained at the end of this article.
Cédric Champeau, our most recent Groovy committer, who implemented those features, has a very nice blog post covering those code interruption transformations.
You don't need to write checks in your scripts for whether the current thread of execution has been interrupted or not, by default, the transformation will add those checks for you for scripts and classes, at the beginning of each method body and closure body:
You can specify a checkOnMethodStart
annotation parameter (defaults to true) to customize where checks are added by the transformation (adds an interrupt check by default as the first statement of a method body). And you can also specify the applyToAllClasses
annotation parameter (default to true) if you want to specify whether only the current class or script should have this interruption logic applied or not.
With @TimedIntterup
, you can interrupt the script after a certain amount of time:
In addition to the previous annotation parameters we mentioned for @ThreadInterrupt
, you should specify value
, the amount of time to wait, and unit
(defaulting to TimeUnit.SECONDS
) to specify the unit of time to be used.
An example of @ConditionalInterrupt
which leverages the closure annotation parameter feature, and the @Field
transformation as well:
You can imagine defining any kind of condition: on counters, on resource availability, on resource usage, and more.
Provides your classes with a default toString()
method which prints out the values of the class' properties (and optionally the property names and optionally fields). A basic example is here:
And here's another example using a few more options:
Provides your classes with equals()
and hashCode()
methods based on the values of the class' properties (and optionally fields and optionally super class values for equals()
and hashCode()
Provides a tuple (ordered) constructor. For POGOs (plain old Groovy objects), this will be in addition to Groovy's default "named-arg" constructor.
Allows you to combine @ToString
, @EqualsAndHashCode
and @TupleConstructor
. For those familiar with Groovy's @Immutable
transform, this provides similar features but for mutable objects.
By default, @Canonical
gives you vanilla versions for each of the combined annotations. If you want to use any of the special features that the individual annotations give you, simply include the individual annotation as well.
You will find a great write-up on @Canonical, @ToString, @EqualsAndHashCode and @TupleConstructor on John Prystash weblog.
Sometimes, when you want to subclass certain classes, you also need to override all the constructors of the parent, even if only to call the super constructor. Such a case happens for instance when you define your own exceptions, you want your exceptions to also have the constructors taking messages and throwable as parameters. But instead of writing this kind of boilerplate code each time for your exceptions:
Simply use the @InheritConstructors transformation which takes care of overriding the base constructors for you:
@WithReadLock and @WithWriteLock
Those two transformations, combined together, simplify the usage of java.util.concurrent.locks.ReentrantReadWriteLock
, are safer to use than the synchronized
keyword, and improve upon the @Synchronized
transformation with a more granular locking.
More concretely, with an example, the following:
Will generate code as follows:
Alignments with JDK 7
Groovy 1.9 will be the version which will align as much as possible with the upcoming JDK 7, so beyond those aspects already covered in Groovy (like strings in switch and others), most of those "Project Coin" proposals will be in 1.9, except the "diamond operator" which was added in 1.8, as explained in the following paragraph.
Diamond operator
Java 7 will introduce the "diamond" operator in generics type information, so that you can avoid the usual repetition of the parameterized types. Groovy decided to adopt the notation before JDK 7 is actually released. So instead of writing:
You can "omit" the parameterized types and just use the pointy brackets, which now look like a diamond:
New DGM methods
- count Closure variants
- countBy
- plus variants specifying a starting index
- equals for Sets and Maps now do flexible numeric comparisons (on values for Maps)
- toSet for primitive arrays, Strings and Collections
- min / max methods for maps taking closures
Slashy strings
Slashy strings are now multi-line:
This is particularly useful for multi-line regexs when using the regex free-spacing comment style (though you would still need to escape slashes):
Dollar slashy strings
A new string notation has been introduced: the "dollar slashy" string. This is a multi-line GString similar to the slashy string, but with slightly different escaping rules. You are no longer required to escape slash (with a preceding backslash) but you can use '$$' to escape a '$' or '$/' to escape a slash if needed. Here's an example of its usage:
This form of string is typically used only in places where regular escaping can be ugly, e.g. XML fragments with backslashes and interpolation in use:
Or windows pathnames containing a slash at the end:
Or multi-line regexs when using the regex free-spacing comment style (particularly ones which contain slashes):
Compilation customizers
The compilation of Groovy code can be configured through the CompilerConfiguration
class, for example for setting the encoding of your sources, the base script class, the recompilation parameters, etc). CompilerConfiguration
now has a new option for setting compilation customizers (belonging to the org.codehaus.groovy.control.customizers
package). Those customizers allow to customize the compilation process in three ways:
- adding default imports with the
: so you don't have to always add the same imports all over again - securing your scripts and classes with the
: by allowing/disallowing certain classes, or special AST nodes (Abstract Syntax Tree), filtering imports, you can secure your scripts to avoid malicious code or code that would go beyond the limits of what the code should be allowed to do. - applying AST transformations with the
: lets you apply transformations to all the class nodes of your compilation unit.
For example, if you want to apply the @Log transformation to all the classes and scripts, you could do:
This will log the two messages, the one from the script, and the one from the Car class constructor, through java.util.logging. No need to apply the @Log transformation manually to both the script and the class: the transformation is applied to all class nodes transparently. This mechanism can also be used for adding global transformations, just for the classes and scripts that you compile, instead of those global transformations being applied to all scripts and classes globally.
If you want to add some default imports (single import, static import, star import, star static imports, and also aliased imports and static imports), you can use the import customizer as follows:
When you want to evaluate Math expressions, you don't need anymore to use the import static java.lang.Math.*
star static import to import all the Math constants and static functions.
(G)String to Enum coercion
Given a String or a GString, you can coerce it to Enum values bearing the same name, as the sample below presents:
Maps support isCase()
Maps now support isCase()
, so you can use maps in your switch/case statements, for instance:
Shorter notation for @GrabResolver
When you need to specify a special grab resolver, for when the artifacts you need are not stored in Maven central, you could use:
Groovy 1.8 adds a shorter syntax as well:
Ability to customize the GroovyDoc templates
GroovyDoc uses hard-coded templates to create the JavaDoc for your Groovy classes. Three templates are used: top-level templates, a package-level template, a class template. If you want to customize these templates, you can subclass the Groovydoc
Ant task and override the getDocTemplates()
, getPackageTemplates()
, and getClassTemplates()
methods pointing at your own templates. Then you can use your custom GroovyDoc Ant task in lieu of Groovy's original one.

Cleto Reyes

In 1938 young Cleto Reyes participated in his first and only boxing match; it was so good that the audience tossed coins to him and his opponent; however, the injuries were enough for him to decide never to do it again. Nevertheless, the gloves he had been provided with, happened to be badly worn out; so he volunteered to repair them, thus starting his long career in the manufacture of gloves. Subsequently his gloves obtained the approval of the local Boxing Commission.
On April 18, 1945 Juan Zurita, the second Mexican Lightweight World Champion, defended his title against Ike Williams in Mexico City, and Cleto Reyes gloves were used in a World Championship fight for the first time.
In 1954 Don Cleto decided to become independent. In the 60s he had his first commercial representative in Los Angeles, California who distributed Cleto Reyes products in the most important cities in the United States and in some other countries.
In 1971 his son Alberto, decided to join Don Cleto's effort with an entrepreneurial vision. They started hiring more people, registered the brand Cleto Reyes in 1975 and founded the company Industria Reyes, S.A. de C.V.
In July 1983 the company moved their manufacturing facilities to Ecatepec and tripled their production capacity.
In early 2003, they opened a second factory in Toluca, where they kept expanding their capacity in an effort to satisfy the growing demand and customer's preference for their products.
Nowadays Cleto Reyes products have a prominent place in the international market, and are marketed in five continents with the approval of almost all of the main world organizations. Their gloves have been featured in some of the world's most high profile championship boxing matches that have ever taken place.

Surging Royals return home to face Twins
Guthrie to square off vs. Correia for second time in five days
For the second time in five days, Jeremy Guthrie and the Royals will face Kevin Correia and the Twins.
Less than a week removed from sweeping the series in Minneapolis, the Royals will host a three-game set at Kauffman Stadium beginning Monday.
Each team will have some momentum coming in having won its last series, but the Royals hold a 10-3 advantage in the season series.
Guthrie won the teams' last matchup, allowing two runs on six hits and two walks in six innings. He is 3-1 against the Twins this season, including a 2-0 record at home.
If this start follows suit, Guthrie will be in position to notch a career-best 12th win of the season. He is 11-7 with a 4.22 ERA through 22 starts. He has won three straight starts, and the Royals have won five of the last six games he has started.
The Royals enter the series with five straight series wins out of the break and a 13-3 record and 8-1 mark on their recent road trip. They return home four games over .500.
The Royals will look to extend a two-game winning streak while playing without starting catcher Salvador Perez, who was placed on the seven-day concussion list on Sunday. Perez has played in 92 of the team's 108 games this season, and he was batting .278.
The Twins are 9-7 since the All-Star break and are coming off a series sweep of the Astros.
Correia is 7-7 with a 4.49 ERA through 21 starts this season. He took a no-decision against the Royals last week as he allowed two runs on 10 hits with three strikeouts in six innings.
"I felt like I'd rather go out there and do that than what I've done a lot in the past, where I've pitched well and then give up a two-run homer," Correia said after the game. "I pitched a little better and was able to work out of jams. To be able to leave the game tied with a chance to win the game, I'll take that. I'm not trying to pad my numbers or more ERA at this point in my career. I'm here to win baseball games, and I don't really care how it happens."
He will be making his fifth career start against the Royals, and he is 0-2 with a 5.01 ERA in that time.
Twins: Bullpen offering big support
The Twins' bullpen has held opponents to just one run in its last 24 innings, for a 0.38 ERA. Minnesota relievers have pitched three or more scoreless innings in 30 games this year and have one of the top ERAs in the American League at 2.90.
A big part of that success has been long reliever Anthony Swarzak, who has given them 70 2/3 innings of work with a 3.05 ERA through 30 games.
Royals: Perez sidelined with low-grade concussion
Catcher Salvador Perez was placed on the seven-day disabled list on Sunday after a foul ball hit him in the facemask in the 12th inning on Saturday. He finished the game but was taken to the hospital with a headache. He was released from the hospital on Sunday morning and rejoined the Royals.
"Always after the game, he'll come over and give me a hug, right? But he didn't yesterday," manager Ned Yost said on Sunday. "So I said, 'What's wrong with you?' And he said, 'Uh-uh-uh,' and then he gave me a hug. He goes, 'I've got a headache, my head's hurting.' So I knew something was wrong there. We took him right into the training room, the doctors came, they took him to the hospital and they cat-scanned him. The headache had subsided, he was clear and he answered questions. But they still deemed it a low-grade concussion, and they don't play with that stuff."
The Royals called up catcher Brett Hayes from Triple-A Omaha to take his place on the 25-man roster and split time with George Kottaras while Perez is out.
Right-handed pitcher Wade Davis was placed on the family emergency List. Left-hander Will Smith was recalled from Omaha in his place.
Worth noting
• Royals infielder Miguel Tejada has hit safely in eight straight games. He's batting .429 (12-for-28) in that span.
• Justin Morneau's first-inning home run on Sunday put him in a three-way tie with Trevor Plouffe and Josh Willingham for the team lead with 10 long balls.

Earlier this week I finished Ian Frazier's "Travels In Siberia," one of the nonfiction titles on this year's American Library Association Notable Books list.
It made an excellent companion to "The Tiger" by John Vaillant, my most recent Notable, also nonfiction. "The Tiger" happens in far eastern Siberia, and as I wrote previously, captures the entire geography and history of that particular region within the story of one tiger.
Frazier, one the other hand, is all over Siberia. And it's an awfully long way across. This book describes several trips he makes into Siberia, the largest by far a trek with two guides along the route of the Trans-Siberian highway.
I hadn't read Frazier before, though many of my reading friends recommend him highly. I expected that the book would be as much about him as about Siberia, which was fine. I appreciated his often self-deprecating humor, and his ability to recognize when he was inserting just a little too much of himself. I also enjoyed his "birdwalks" of distraction into details or stories about the places he was visiting. Just when I lost track myself of why we were going down a particular narrative path, he would once again connect his story to the place at hand. It seemed effortless, but is a mark of a strong writer.
Frazier refers to a kind of "Russia fever" that he caught, a condition that kept him from ever feeling quite finished with the country. Even after the primary journey of the book, a months-long journey across Siberia, he has to go back.
A question I usually ask myself when I finish a book is--what image will I keep from this? And in Frazier's case, it's his description of the smell of places, especially Russian airports and restrooms. I think this explains part of his popularity--he plumbs the depth of his travel experience, and employs every sense.
The key to my enjoyment of "Travels in Siberia" was to relax and enjoy the telling, and not be in a hurry to get to a destination. I did enjoy the reading, but I never felt that luscious compulsion to return to this, the compulsion that I always hope to sense when I crack open a new book.
I'll certainly recommend this to people who enjoy travel books, who have a particular interest in Siberia, or who enjoy stories of cross-cultural experiences.

Veteran lefties square off as Angels aim for sweep
Halos send Wilson to mound as Blue Jays counter with Buehrle
The Blue Jays will try to avoid a sweep on Monday when they face the Angels in the finale of a four-game series at Rogers Centre.
The Angels have won three in a row, and they will send C.J. Wilson to the mound in an attempt to make it four straight. Wilson enters his start against the Blue Jays with five quality starts in seven outings this season.
The 33-year-old pitched eight innings of three-run ball in a no-decision against the Yankees on Tuesday, and he has a 2.05 ERA in his last three outings. Wilson will look to continue his team's trend of solid pitching against the Blue Jays in the series, which has consisted of three consecutive quality starts.
"I think it has been tremendous," manager Mike Scioscia said of his team's starting pitching following their 9-3 win over the Blue Jays on Sunday. "I think every time we are out there, for the most part, we have been given a chance to win. These guys are pitching deep into games and doing a good job."
The Blue Jays, looking to avoid being swept for the first time this season, will hand the ball to Mark Buehrle.
The durable lefty is tied for first among Major League starters with six wins. Buehrle has five quality starts in seven outings and is off to one of the best starts of his career. On three occasions, he has pitched at least seven innings without an earned run.
"At the start of a season, it has to be the best [run I've been on]," Buehrle said. "Trying to think of a seven-game stretch going as good, I don't know if I can really think of one off the top of my head."
Blue Jays: Santos goes to DL
Sergio Santos was placed on the disabled list on Sunday.
The Blue Jays reliever said he felt discomfort in his right forearm during his second inning Friday, but he pitched through it. Santos played catch Sunday, but won't do so again until he undergoes an MRI.
Santos said he hopes to return in a couple of weeks.
"I'm hopeful it's just a strain," Santos said. "I think it is. That's what I feel. That's what I believe.
"It was a little sore, but the past couple of days it's been a lot better, so I'm feeling good about that."
No corresponding roster move was announced.
Angels: Stewart exits with injury
Angels third baseman Ian Stewart was forced to leave Sunday's 9-3 win over the Blue Jays in the seventh inning after taking a pitch off his left hand/wrist.
Stewart attempted to check his swing on a first-pitch offering from Toronto reliever Aaron Loup, but he went around on the 91-mph fastball and dropped to the ground in obvious pain after getting hit.
The 29-year-old was down for a brief moment before exiting. John McDonald entered the game as his replacement.
Worth noting
• Jose Bautista fell just shy of tying a club record on Sunday afternoon vs. the Angels. The power-hitting right fielder's streak of reaching base safely ended when he went 0-for-4 as the Blue Jays lost to the Angels, 9-3.
Bautista previously reached base in 37 straight games to start the season, which was already a club record. But he was also chasing Carlos Delgado's streak of most consecutive games on base (38), which was set in 1998.
• Howie Kendrick stole two bases for the third time this season on Sunday and the sixth time in his career.
• With his single in the eighth inning on Sunday, Melky Cabrera now has hits in 34 of 37 games this season.

Phoronix: KDE No Longer Competitive? Developer Calls It Quits
Peter Penz, the main developer of the Dolphin file manager for the KDE desktop and a K Desktop user since KDE v1.2, is calling it quits after contributing to KDE for more than the past half-decade. His reason for leaving the development of the popular open-source desktop environment is interesting...
In other words, the DE's are dumbing down to the level of iCrap, and are therefore no longer usable. He is rejecting this motion and refusing to participate in the dumbification.
I say "GOOD FOR YOU!!!!" (honestly).
He being such an experienced developer and long-time contributor to KDE and experiencing what he feels/believes are productivity issues, I guess he would be in a good position to fix these productivity issues.
Or maybe he was saying that other desktop environments (such as GNOME, Windows, OS X) are more productive than KDE?
Dolphin is the worst part of my KDE Desktop(I don't have installed all basic apps and some app I use like Chrome are not K'ed but mostly Ksofts). It crashed and crashed for no good reason since forever. I pray new main maintainer would make it better.
Anyway I read, heard lots of things about people bitching about KDE. As long as I feel my productivity and fun are best served by KDE, I am with it.
Wow, that's kind of sad. I wish it was 1-st April now...
Peter Penz was one of my favorite developers, if not the favorite, seriously. Fast response, good with the community, fixing bugs and adding features.
Once I reported a bug and after 40 minutes he already pushed the fix for the next release of KDE.
I find KDE best suited for my needs...
The way he talks can be said about every Linux DE and every Linux specific application.

It's bad news, that the main developers leaves his program when, after last changes, it's still in beta phase :/ . He also leaves users without any bug fixes Some people have also gave their free time, to make KDE a better DE. Now he leaves them in half way. Why hi didn't get other people some time to start continuing his work, and when it's stable situation, then leave KDE? I think that's not OK.
Dolphin was very good product. Recently there come Dolphin 2 which is now integrated with KDE 4.8 instead of previous release, but it's not as stable, so maybe you tell me why in such short period of time developer puts new version, what needed much work, and shortly tells that he leaves in it's beta state (I know it's now signed as a stable, bot there are still many issues).
I'm not KDE developer, so I won't continue that work. I'm trying my best where I have something to say. So, please stop that sarcastic comments.

I've also posted this on the site, but I really do feel the same thing.
Although I haven't found a replacement, I feel less and less love for KDE and all its microbugs/quirks/general unpolishedness. Honestly, I still use KDE for work and home, but I'm finding it harder and harder to honestly recommend it as a credible option to other systems.
And yes I've filed bugs, and yes I've even wrote small and simple patches that were ignored because "well, we're planning a rewrite of that anyway... sometime... so let's leave the multi-year bug there, it's not visible on my machine anyway".
