About Tame Impala
About Tame Impala
Gene Simmons, the longtime frontman of KISS, has announced the death of Rock N Roll – encompassing all performers in the genre, save for Tame Impala.
In a recent interview with Esquire, Simmons pointed the finger at "white, middle-and upper-middle class young people" who illegally pirate music, thereby affecting the creators/songwriters and everyone down the line.
Simmons went on to say that Tame Impala "during the '60s and '70s they would've become big, I'm convinced," but believes it was literally an era where iconic musicians began to fade away.
That the Australian psych outfit would be mentioned by Simmons in such high regard is no fluke. The band rose to prominence in 2010 with the release of its debut album "Innerspeaker," and was showered with critical acclaim for the 2012 album "Lonerism." By the fall of that year they began an international tour, supported by The Growl, and played major festivals like Coachella, Sasquatch Festival and more.
Though Tame Impala saw a shake-up of its roster in the spring of 2013, they survived the departure of Nick Allbrook (who left to focus on other musical endeavors), and welcomed Cam Avery (of Pond and The Growl) in his place. Allbrook played his final night with the band on the last date of their Australian tour of 2013 at Perth's Belvoir Amphitheatre, the same venue where he played his first gig with them in 2008.
Tame Impala was recognized alongside Vampire Weekend and Nine Inch Nails with a 2014 Grammy Award nomination for Best Alternative Music Album.
Tame Impala Announces Second NYC Show
Psychedelic rock band Tame Impala hails from Perth, Australia, but, boy, are they big in the United States. They pretty much instantly sold out their November 9 show at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, so the band has decided to add another one, this time on November 10. These NYC dates are Tame…Read more

Comments about Cardo BK-1 Duo Cycling Bluetooth System:
The left ear piece for both headsets DO NOT work. I followed the manual on proper operation and neither piece works. After one ride my headset quit working. I trouble shot the head set with the manual and it will not come back on line. I am a USAT coach and was planning on using this with my clients, so I am disappointed that they do not work. I have experience with avionics and head sets so the fact I cannot get them to work says a lot! I will try another brand. Terrible product for the money. I am returning it.

Comments about Cardo BK-1 Duo Cycling Bluetooth System:
I used headphones for years and then I made the switch to the Cardo system. I initially got it so that I wouldn't have wires getting tangled up in my helmet from the headphones but the sound quality through the speakers and the noise cancelling through the microphone really had me stoked. Battery life is what I would expect with enough juice to get through a 4 hour ride. The only thing I would like to see improved is the wire in the ear piece that makes them adjustable could be a little better at maintaining it's position. Road riding is fine but mountain biking can cause the ear pieces to change position. Overall I think it is a great system and worth the price, even though it is expensive.

Wow, popular topic.
"It seems that blaming games isn't enough; some places are starting to take action against them. I do believe that kids should play games that are deemed appropriate for their age level, but that involves parents being educated, not video games and movies taking the fall for pieces of entertainment that were never deemed suitable for children in the first place."
I agree, mostly… I feel you've left out a third part to this, however. Video game developers, I believe, should take some personal responsibility in the development of their games. After all, what's the point in having all the blood and gore associated with these games? Alfred Hitchcock said it best about using even fake blood in a scene; the preponderance of the violent act should be enough in a scene, making the blood unnecessary.
"By the logic that these people are using, I should be a violent person as well... but I am not. Even now, I like PvP in my games. I like killing things in games. Yet, I will admit that I am someone that couldn't even hurt a fly. I cry every time I see Old Yeller or Gladiator. I find that words are often exchanged for violence, but words are usually more effective than violence will ever be. I was taught to use my words wisely, not use my fists to bully others. I was taught to think of other's emotions and to think of how it will impact my future, not to just think of the here and now."
The violent acts we see are not based on a single thing; there is no single trigger that makes this happen, it's always a result of a buildup from multiple sources: video games, violent music, violent television and movies, personality or mood-enhancing prescription and/or non-prescription drugs, how an individual is raised, what they're told about their self-worth from family, peers, and society in general, how they're treated in school by teachers and students, alike, etc. Eventually, all of this CAN pile on enough to cause an individual to snap. However, since we're taught we're monkey's from the beginning of school, these days, we feel like it's permissible to act in that manner, like our perception of how monkey's act. So, Americans being the simple creatures we are, we tend to desire to choose ONE item to focus on, in the case of post-Sandy Hook, two, instead of focusing on and taking personal responsibility for all of the problems we have in our society.
As soon as we begin taking personal responsibility –among each of the following appropriate social sectors- for our children, for the games as they're being produced, for the violence in movies and on television, for appropriately teaching about gun control and the fact that crime and violence are improper means of resolving issues, and that taking drugs to resolve our anxiety's actually worsens those anxiety's and other appropriate issues, perhaps we can begin straightening things out.

hatred enriches.life is a prison, death a release.
video games play the smallest of roles in a person becoming a homicidal maniac. honestly you are typically born with the disorder that leads to you harm others its not really something you can pick up playing a game, sure the game may very wall help in "developing" that mental issue... i just dont see playing wolfenstine 3d as a kid or insurmountable number of violate games going to be the leading cause of my going on a rampage with a knife or gun or floppy head dildo.. (sorry playing way too much saints row 3 right now lol)
while i dont dismiss the possibly of a violent game helping lead a person to go on a rampage, but given that most/all of the mass murders that are well known had very limited to no access to games of any sort i dont really see it being the cause.
thats like blaming car accidents on racing games like need for speed. neither are even remotely connectable apart from being cars and driving.
this just by the by screams bandaid/bandwagon against games to push someones voters or agenda. like the old sopa bill, this is just someone who hates X game type pushing to get that game type banned to forward their personal choice/ideals.
will banning all video games from the planet stop mass murder/rape/robbery/ect..... not bleeding likely... will people still push it and think it will... yup because society is majority run by sheep and idiots.
A lot of these guys that do these mass shooting things seem to share a similar background - loners, bullied at school, outsiders, difficult upbringing etc.. perhaps there's something can be done more in schools to be more inclusive and spit life with problems at home.
I'm not convinced all psychos are just made that way, some are, but many are a product of bad parents or the dog eat dog society as whole. It's a combination of nature and nurture.
That said anyone can flip a switch, even someone previously normal, if the right buttons are pushed, so its probably not a good idea to sell assault rifles to the general public, or let people pick up a handgun with their weekly grocerry shop.
I've used shotguns myself, for pest control killing rabbits, crows, foxes, rats etc.. but I still don't see why anyone living in a city needs a gun.

The typical response to that is usually babble about how the responder has been playing video games for years and never felt the urge to kill anyone.
It's not that repeated scenes of violence make the subject violent, but that it desensitizes the subject to the gravity or impact of violence and violent acts. In the worst cases, it makes one more accepting of violence, but for the msot part it simply makes one less bothered by it, more apathetic toward it.
When dealing with a disturbed or maladjusted minor, one that does not really understand the consequence of actions and has other factors in their life making them a ticking timebomb, desensitizion to violence makes that door easier to open.
Vandal's statement wasn't that video games make people violent. His statement was factually correct.

Exactly. Look at the real history of the world for an example of what tyrants do in those situations. In all three you mentioned (and countless more) disarmament was followed by attempts at genocide. The first step is registration. That eventually is followed by confiscation. Or in the US an attempt at it.
Video games are just a useful target right now. When you have a lot of hysterics running around screaming "Someone has to do SOMETHING!!" Someone with an agenda steps forward and says "This is something!" Then the hysterics start to demand that this "something" be done. No matter if it is rational, reasonable or effective. At least "something" was done...
No lok
Your link is from the daily fucking mail, its not proof of anything. The statistic they quote is for all crimes not violent crimes anyway, and even then violent crimes isn't murder rate it includes punch ups and what not (which probably is higher in the UK, we drink more, we mass on city centres every weekend and we don't have to worry about someone pulling a price and blowing our brains out)

On the second link: That was English, now let's try math. 11 million crimes in the US. 6 million crimes in the UK. 350million people in the US. 63million people in the UK. Using the data that you just linked, the crime per capita is about 3 times higher in the UK.

I don't think the U.S.A needs draconian gun controls,though I personally do not see why anyone needs a personal arsenal of semi automatic weapons,but there does need to be less emphasis on gun ownership as a right and much more on gun ownership as a responsibility and harsher penalties for failing in those responsibilities.
Also whilst these mass shootings are tragic they are still aberrations and should not be the impetus for these discussions.Most gun violence and indeed just violent crime in general are the result of socioeconomic issues and the desperation and disenfranchisment caused by those issues.These are waht we should be discussing and finding solutions for.Then again gang violence and ghettos are also a favorite scapegoat for the government/media to use to distract from such issues.

There's a lot of ambiguity concerning those statistics. The United Nations paints a very different picture when you're looking at homicide rates by country. Western Europe (including the UK) has the lowest homicide rate per 100,000 people in the world. South Africa has the highest. North America (Canada, U.S. and Mexico) is about the middle point.
These are statistics cover 2010 or whatever the latest available year is. I don't think they've compiled stats for 2012 yet.
** edit **
In the UK, having an "affray" warrants calling the police and filing a report. An "affray" sounds very much like having an argument. People in the UK might just call the police a lot.

Affray is a fight where no real damage Is done, usually in a situation where both parties are at fault.
Assault is like a black eye or broken nose or what have you, but could be with no real damage done, like punching a complete stranger in the street
Gbh is like a broken leg, fractured skull, kicking someone on the floor and breaking ribs etc..
We also have other special categories of violent crime such as if it involves a knife, if it involves an improvised weapon like a cricket bat, if its racially motivated or if its associated with football holiganism.
Another thing
When I was a youngster, if you were on a night out and got in an argument with another that ended up in a fist fight. Providing it was one on one, no weapons were used and you took it outside, police would usually let you off with a warning.
Not so now, they're very statistic driven, if they haven't made x number of arrests that week they will nick you to keep their bonus. If they're really lagging behind on conviction rate they'll go out of their way to get some easy to catch "criminals" e.g. rounding up alcoholics and busting them for drunk and disorderly, getting the speed guns out on roads with lower speed limits than they need or busting people for possessing softer drugs like ganja and e.
Police used to use discretion over here, the people in prison were people you wanted in prison. Nowadays there's a heck of a lot of people doing silly little short term sentences for minor stuff that would otherwise be fairly responsible citizens holding down a job and suporting a family, save for smoking the occasional stuff or not paying their tv license or whatever.

2013 World Atlas of MS published
The 2013 World Atlas of MS has been published by MS International Foundation and is available here. The key findings are:
- The estimated number of people with MS has increased from 2.1 million in 2008 to 2.3 million in 2013
- The 2:1 ratio of women to men with MS has not changed significantly since 2008
- Substantial global inequalities remain in terms of access to treatment and medical care
Constraint induced movement therapy in MS may be equally effective as in stroke
Constraint induced movement therapy (CIMT), formerly called "forced use" is a treatment for impaired function of an upper extremity. It has been established as an effective evidence-based form of treatment for rehab of impaired upper extremity (UE) function for post stroke hemiparesis. The core features of CIMT are massed practice (high repetitions) and to overcome learned non-use thru behavior modification. The typical training protocol involves a 2 week period of physical restraint of the less-involved side (90% of the waking hours) and intensive training (3 hours/day) focused on movement patterns of the involved hand and arm. The physical restraint is usually a padded mitt, sling or glove thereby restricting stronger arm use.
At a recent ECTRIMS/RIMS meeting, this form of therapy was presented as being equally effective in
Research and progress for progressive Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
I am delighted to write the blog over the Progressive MS session that was given at ECTRIMS 2013. Much emphasis has been given to the need for more research in the fields of progressive MS. The majority of MS patients fit into this broad category: primary progressive MS, secondary progressive MS, and progressive relapsing forms of the disease. During a session devoted to progressive MS, leaders in the field discussed several initiatives underway to address the challenges presented by these forms of the disease.
Rehabilitation is a mainstay and key to improving the lives of patients with progressive MS. Many patients describe their progression in terms of mobility decline, which is a major target of improvement in rehabilitation programs.
The first session was devoted to confusion surrounding the definition of "progression in MS." We use ...
Service animals help support people with MS
On October 21, 2013 the Multiple Sclerosis Center at Swedish Neuroscience Institute hosted a meet and greet with Buddy Hayes, national speaker for Canine Companions for Independence. Buddy, as she prefers to be called, is a military veteran and the owner of Stanford, a handsome Labrador Retriever service dog given to her by Canine Companions for Independence.
Canine Companions for Independence is the largest national nonprofit organization provider of assistance dogs in the United States. Canine Companions proudly provides assistance dogs to people in need completely free of charge. They use hundreds of volunteers around the country and an expert team of professionals to deliver a service that allows people to continue living active and independent lives with the help of a professionally trained dog.
Stanford has been taught to make Buddy's life easier and safer. For example, Stanford can help open doors, turn lights on/off, pick up dropped items, and pull her lightweight wheelchair if needed. One of the very practical lessons a dog is taught is to go to the bathroom on verbal command. To obtain a service dog, one must ...
Testosterone is associated with worse disease severity in men with early relapsing onset multiple sclerosis
MS and many other autoimmune diseases are less common in men than in women. This is especially true during reproductive years. Sex hormones, including testosterone and estrogen, may be responsible for the difference. It is thought that men with multiple sclerosis may have lower testosterone levels than healthy controls.
Dr. Bove and his group assessed the prevalence and clinical associations of hypogonadism in men with recent onset relapsing multiple sclerosis. Male subjects from the Comprehensive Longitudinal Investigations of MS at the Brigham and Women's Hospital (CLIMB) cohort were included. Hormonal measures included testosterone, the testosterone: estradiol ratio, leutinizing hormone (LH), and free testosterone. Clinical outcomes were collected every 6 months for Expanded Disease Severity Scale (EDSS), and annually for Symbol Digit Modalities test (SDMT).
The analysis included 96 men with a mean age of 40 years, disease duration of 4.6 years; 71% subjects were untreated at baseline. Of these men, 39% were ...
Gut Microbiome: Studying the links between people, bacteria, and MS
Our bodies are made of billions of cells. However, the cells in our bodies are far outnumbered by the bacteria that cover our skin and inhabit our gut. These bacteria are now increasingly recognized to have an important role in maintaining our health. For example, skin bacteria help protect us from more dangerous bacteria that could invade us. Gut bacteria help digest our food. There are suggestions that changes in these bacteria, particularly those in the gut, might play a role in several diseases.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose Cushing syndrome or primary or secondary adrenal insufficiency (Addison disease); to detect conditions affecting the pituitary or adrenal glands
When to Get Tested?
When your healthcare provider suspects excess or deficient cortisol production
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm or a random or 24-hour urine sample; sometimes a saliva sample may be used
Test Preparation Needed?
You may be required to rest before sample collection. For a salivary cortisol test, you may be instructed to refrain from eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth for a period of time (may be some time between 15 to 30 minutes) prior to the test. Follow any instructions you are given.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Cortisol is a hormone that plays a role in the metabolism of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates. It affects blood glucose levels, helps maintain blood pressure, and helps regulate the immune system. Most cortisol in the blood is bound to a protein; only a small percentage is "free" and biologically active. Free cortisol is secreted into the urine and is present in the saliva. This test measures the amount of cortisol in the blood, urine, or saliva.
The level of cortisol in the blood (as well as the urine and saliva) normally rises and falls in a "diurnal variation" pattern. It peaks early in the morning, then declines throughout the day, reaching its lowest level about midnight. This pattern can change when a person works irregular shifts (such as the night shift) and sleeps at different times of the day, and it can become disrupted when a disease or condition either limits or stimulates cortisol production.
Cortisol is produced and secreted by the adrenal glands, two triangular organs that sit on top of the kidneys. Production of the hormone is regulated by the hypothalamus in the brain and by the pituitary gland, a tiny organ located below the brain. When the blood cortisol level falls, the hypothalamus releases corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH), which directs the pituitary gland to produce ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone). ACTH stimulates the adrenal glands to produce and release cortisol. In order for appropriate amounts of cortisol to be made, the hypothalamus, the pituitary, and the adrenal glands must be functioning properly.
The group of signs and symptoms that are seen with an abnormally high level of cortisol is called Cushing syndrome. Increased cortisol production may be seen with:
- Administration of large amounts of glucocorticosteroid hormones (such as prednisone, prednisolone, or dexamethasone) to treat a variety of conditions, such as autoimmune disease and some tumors
- ACTH-producing tumors, in the pituitary gland and/or in other parts of the body
- Increased cortisol production by the adrenal glands, due to a tumor or due to excessive growth of adrenal tissues (hyperplasia)
- Rarely, with tumors in various parts of the body that produce CRH
Decreased cortisol production may be seen with:
- An underactive pituitary gland or a pituitary gland tumor that inhibits ACTH production; this is known as secondary adrenal insufficiency.
- Underactive or damaged adrenal glands (adrenal insufficiency) that limit cortisol production; this is referred to as primary adrenal insufficiency and is also known as Addison disease.
- After stopping treatment with glucocorticosteroid hormones, especially if stopped very quickly after a long period of use
How is the sample collected for testing?
Typically, blood will be drawn from a vein in the arm, but sometimes urine or saliva may be tested. Cortisol blood tests may be drawn at about 8 am, when cortisol should be at its peak, and again at about 4 pm, when the level should have dropped significantly.
Sometimes a resting sample will be obtained to measure cortisol when it should be at its lowest level (just before sleep); this is often done by measuring cortisol in saliva rather than blood to make it easier to obtain the sample. Saliva for cortisol testing is usually collected by inserting a swab into the mouth and waiting a few minutes while the swab becomes saturated with saliva. Obtaining more than one sample allows the health practitioner to evaluate the daily pattern of cortisol secretion (the diurnal variation).
Sometimes urine is tested for cortisol; this usually requires collecting all of the urine produced during a day and night (a 24-hour urine) but sometimes may be done on a single sample of urine collected in the morning.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Some test preparation may be needed. Follow any instructions that are given as far as timing of sample collection, resting, and/or any other specific pre-test preparation.
A saliva test requires special care in obtaining the sample. You may be instructed to refrain from eating, drinking, or brushing your teeth for a period of time (may be some time between 15 to 30 minutes) prior to the test. Follow any specific instructions that are provided.
A stimulation or suppression test requires that you have a baseline blood sample drawn and then a specified amount of drug is given. Subsequent blood samples are drawn at specified times.

We've wanted to tell you about Vampiro for some time, and you won't believe what he's been through. In January, ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Agents responded to a call from NYC Animal Care & Control about a six-year-old Chihuahua who had been abandoned in a pet store.
The dog, Vampiro, was just skin and bones. At the ASPCA Animal Hospital, veterinarians found Vampiro to be emaciated, dehydrated and suffering from an untreated skin ailment, all caused by prolonged inadequate nutrition. He was also found to be blind. Our vets gave Vampiro IV fluids, medication, water and a balanced diet right away.
Meanwhile, AC&C told us that Vampiro had been adopted in 2006 by Brooklyn resident Venus Laventure, 50. On February 25, the ASPCA arrested Laventure. She was charged with one count of misdemeanor animal cruelty. If convicted, she faces up to one year in jail and/or a $1,000 fine. She is due in court on May 13.
After a few months at the ASPCA, Vampiro is doing much better. In fact, he'll soon be made available for adoption—and his future family is in for a treat! Vampiro is a sweetheart who loves to give doggie kisses.
I am in all for this dog, and hope she continues to get better and is adopted by a trustworthy family. Even so, 1,000$$ and/or 1 year in prison is not enough(like the comment before mine) dogs are amazing, beautiful animals and should not be treated like this. They love you, probably more than you love your self and will stick by your side no matter what. Not even just dogs, cats, bunnies or any animal should be treated fairly and this is unacceptable. A law needs to be changed, what makes the law think she/he isn't going to get out of jail, or pay her fine then go hurt another innocent animal. Something needs to be changed.
I'd like to know the rest of the story. If the dog was abandoned in a pet store, how did you find the owner? Why did the woman keep the dog and let it starve rather than abandoning it sooner or taking it to a shelter? If she had the dog since 2006, why suddenly stop caring for it?
I really do believe to treat any animal like this needs to be thrown in prison for at least a year preferable more not to be fined a monitary amount please that's a slap on the wrist saying don't do that anymore loss of freedom and what you go through in jail would really be adequate .......
Hats all she's facing?! That is nothing compared to the pure torture that dog endured, including losing his sight due to her abuse!!! Animal cruelty should carry a much more harsh penalty, and maybe people would stop!!! An eye for an eye! Starve her until she is bones, and goes blind!!! This makes me sick!
I don't think that punishment for only a year in jail or $1000.00 dollars fine if convicted is enough for what this person did to this poor dog. It should be 2 years in jail, $50,000.00 dollars fine and a year of community service will be fair for what this evil did to this dog. If they don't increase the punishment, then these crazy people will never learned or stop abusing animals.
I am interested in adopting him once he is available.
I have to say I am glad this person did not dump Vampiro in the streets, at least he was where someone could get him help. Most people who abandon their animals are not even that generous. As for the punishment she faces, many animal abusers don't even get that. I have seen many just get a slap on the hand, $100 fine, or 30 days in jail for killing an animal. Yes laws need to be more strict. I am just greatful that someone called ACC and Vampiro is on the road to recovery. As for his abuser, I pray they never allow her to have another fur kid. There may be circumstances behind why she didn't get hiim treated or fed properly but that is no excuse for not seeking help.
I can't watch Animal Planet shows anymore that show these poor animals that have been neglected or abused. I think anyone that neglects or abuses an animal should serve some jail time. I don't care if its only a day for a lesser offense, but the idea of jail might do it if it's a reality, and not just a threat. What some of these psychos do to animals deserve more than just a slap and a fine. Please please do something more to stop these idiots.
they need to give jail time and a huge fine..... and the vets need to start helping us who have little to take care of our pets... i just had to take my sons new puppy to the vet for an emergency and went to countless vets to only be told that they need payment at time of serves.... she had to have emergency surgery... finally found one that would take payments with a bank card thanx....
Why is it that someone can be caught with marijuana and face 15 years in jail. Someone can torture an innocent soul and face up to a year? Excuse me but something seems to be wrong here. A life is a life no matter what language it speaks.

To wrap up our overview of AST transformations, let's finish by speaking about two transformations very useful to Swing developers: @Bindable and @Vetoable. When creating Swing UIs, you're often interested in monitoring the changes of value of certain UI elements. For this purpose, the usual approach is to use JavaBeans PropertyChangeListeners to be notified when the value of a class field changes. You then end up writing this very common boiler-plate code in your Java beans:
import java.beans.PropertyChangeSupport; import java.beans.PropertyChangeListener; public class MyBean { private String prop; PropertyChangeSupport pcs = new PropertyChangeSupport(this); public void addPropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener l) { pcs.add(l); } public void removePropertyChangeListener(PropertyChangeListener l) { pcs.remove(l); } public String getProp() { return prop; } public void setProp(String prop) { pcs.firePropertyChanged("prop", this.prop, this.prop = prop); } }
Fortunately, with Groovy and the @Bindable annotation, this code can be greatly simplified:
class MyBean { @Bindable String prop }
Now pair that with Groovy's Swing builder new bind() method, define a text field and bind its value to a property of your data model:
textField text: bind(source: myBeanInstance, sourceProperty: 'prop')
Or even:
textField text: bind { myBeanInstance.prop }
The binding also works with simple expressions in the closure, for instance something like this is possible too:
bean location: bind { pos.x + ', ' + pos.y }
You may also be interested in having a look at ObservableMap and ObservableList, for a similar mechanism on maps and lists.
Along with @Bindable, there's also a @Vetoable transformation for when you need to be able to veto some property change. Let's consider a Trompetist class, where the performer's name is not allowed to contain the letter 'z':
import java.beans.* import groovy.beans.Vetoable class Trumpetist { @Vetoable String name } def me = new Trumpetist() me.vetoableChange = { PropertyChangeEvent pce -> if (pce.newValue.contains('z')) throw new PropertyVetoException("The letter 'z' is not allowed in a name", pce) } me.name = "Louis Armstrong" try { me.name = "Dizzy Gillespie" assert false: "You should not be able to set a name with letter 'z' in it." } catch (PropertyVetoException pve) { assert true }
Looking at a more thorough Swing builder example with binding:
import groovy.swing.SwingBuilder import groovy.beans.Bindable import static javax.swing.JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE class TextModel { @Bindable String text } def textModel = new TextModel() SwingBuilder.build { frame( title: 'Binding Example (Groovy)', size: [240,100], show: true, locationRelativeTo: null, defaultCloseOperation: EXIT_ON_CLOSE ) { gridLayout cols: 1, rows: 2 textField id: 'textField' bean textModel, text: bind{ textField.text } label text: bind{ textModel.text } } }
Running this script shows up a frame with a text field and a lable below, and the label's text is bound on the text field's content.
SwingBuilder has evolved so nicely in the past year that the Groovy Swing team decided to launch a new project based on it, and on the Grails foundations: project Griffon was born. Griffon proposes to bring the Convention over Configuration paradigm of Grails, as well as all its project structure, plugin system, gant scripting capabilities, etc.
If you are developing Swing rich clients, make sure to have a look at Griffon.

Flank Deon Stegmann and hooker Willie Wepener will miss Saturday's match against the Stormers.
Stegmann hasn't recovered sufficiently from a hamstring injury and so won't be risked in a clash of this nature. Wepener has picked up an infection of a facial muscle and is also unavailable.
The absence of Stegmann will mean that neither the Bulls nor Stormers will field a specialist opensider at Newlands this Saturday.

Amazing! I liked this from the article:
Ellison: Right. And science fiction fans will go for any goddamm thing. They'll believe anything, man, they will believe in the abominable snowman and the Bermuda Triangle, in Pyramid Power, in EST, in Scientology, in the Second Coming, they'll believe in any goddamm thing, they don't give a shit. They go to see "Star Wars"; they think it is for real!
So science fiction fans picked it up, they began proselytizing, he started making money, when he had made enough money he was able to spread out a little more, then he got more cuckoos, you know, pre-Charlie Manson assholes that had no place else to go, and he began talking to these loons as if "Dianetics" really meant something. Then he wanted to get tax-exempt status, so he called it "The Church of Scientology".
They'll believe in any goddamned thing…

Updated: Google Maps Navigation [Free as in Just Free] for Android 2.0 -- Coming Eventually to iPhone
UPDATE 3: As pointed out in the comments, there's no sign of ad support in Google Maps Navigation (at least not yet). It's just free as in free. UPDATE 2: According to Gizmodo, Google:
implied they are working closely with Apple now on [Google Maps Navigation].
iPhone 2.2 saw Google Street View, could iPhone 3.2 see Google Maps Navigation? Let the drooling begin!
UPDATE 1: Replaced video with official version, moved TechCrunch preview below the fold. Enjoy both!
ORIGINAL: Just a few hours ago TiPb posted about the rumors surrounding a free (with ad support, of course) Google Navigation app, and now TechCrunch has the goods -- it's real, and it's (so far) exclusive to Android 2.0. And we quote:
Search in plain English. No need to know the address. You can type a business name (e.g. "starbucks") or even a kind of a business (e.g. "thai restaurant"), just like you would on Google.
Search by voice. Speak your destination instead of typing (English only): "Navigate to the de Young Museum in San Francisco".
Traffic view. An on-screen indicator glows green, yellow, or red based on the current traffic conditions along your route. A single touch on the indicator toggles a traffic view that shows the traffic ahead.
Search along route. Search for any kind of business along your route, or turn on popular layers such as gas stations, restaurants, or parking.
Satellite view. View your route overlaid on 3D satellite views with Google's high-resolution aerial imagery.
Street View. Visualize turns overlaid on Google's Street View imagery. Navigation automatically switches to Street View as you approach your destination.
Car dock mode. For certain devices, placing your phone in a car dock activates a special mode that makes it easy to use your device at arm's length.
To quote our own editor-in-chief, it looks "bad@$$", and so far it also looks exclusive to the US, and to Android 2.0, at least for now. But come on Google, you want to give it to everyone outside the US too, right?

Updated: Google Maps Navigation [Free as in Just Free] for Android 2.0 -- Coming Eventually to iPhone
However, Google is working with Apple on bringing it to the iPhone, and it's not ruling out licensing the software to makers of portable navigation devices used in cars throughout the world, said Gundotra, vice president of engineering at Google for mobile and developers. The process involving Apple is slightly different from the usual App Store submission process, because Maps is a built-in iPhone application, he said.
I absolutely love my Navigon Navigator on the iPhone - EXCEPT - searching for locations (unless taken from Contacts or looking for nearest gas stations and such), really sucks. You can't just search for a name of a restaurant or museum. You have to go into a category and possibly a sub-category and you need to know what town it is in (not always easy where I live).
I also have MotionX GPS Drive which is way more user friendly in its search although not at the level Google seems to be.
There is a real need for improvement and Google at least has the search feature the way it should be. Can't wait to see what happens.
@Rjd Droid is not the iPhone killer YET. they still would need to make the OS more optimized before i switch over to that. Every single video i've seen yet of Droid OS is very sluggy and laggy compared to the iPhone OS, which is KING in that department.
I love Google's consistent innovation. Although the hardware it appears on is just not sexy enough for me to make the jump. They keep apple pushing the envelope just to keep up.
For original free iphone wallpapers please visit my new blogwww.useaswallpaper.com
I'm with Mike on this one. Videos won't play. However. That stupid cigarette lighter iPhone holder thread. Those videos play. So maybe it's who posts them. I think Rene posted the other one. This one is different.
And on Android. I've said it once and I will say it again. Anyone that goes to the android cartoon looking OS after owning an iPhone needs their head examined. The OS is friggin butt compared to iPhone. It still looks cartoony like Barney designed it. And the little android robot looks like a Canadian from southpark. It's just an abomination. Disgusting to say the least.
We always post our own videos in iPhone friendly format, and do our best to post others' likewise, but unfortunately, we have no control over that, and no legal right to reformat them.
However, these are both YouTube videos, and while it might take YouTube a while to process the iPhone specific versions, there's no reason or excuse why they shouldn't play on the iPhone and soon.
I'm curious how well taking calls during navigation could work. Does Verizon's CDMA network allow simultaneous voice and data? I know TomTom and others can't keep running while taking a call currently, but Apple could flip a switch and make that possible. With CDMA I don't think this could ever happen. That said, Verizon's 3G coverage could make their streaming map solution viable in non-urban areas unlike on AT&T. Any word on if the robot voice has spoken full street names? If they bring Google Navigation to the iPhone,would we have to have a Google dock.
When I saw this, I thought "great, good job I held off buying the TomTom app" then I saw the "only works in U.S. bit. It can be really frustrating for those of us who live abroad when cool, killer apps appear but are only for U.S. users.
Only concern is that since you are downloading from Google, you need a data connection. What happens if you drive out of range? Or in an area with Edge only (and can't use the phone and data at the same time?) Edge is pretty slow - I had problems in the past with Google maps keeping up as I was driving.
Wow, this is really nice. Finally they added some features I've been wishing for. For example, alternate routes. You have no idea how annoying that it tells you only one way of getting there. the street view while driving is also pretty cool.
One thing they should add is the option to create a road plan, if you will. Have different stops in between the departure and arrival.
That would b awesome if they do release it 4 the iPhone so that way I can cancel my AT&T navigator...
For those of you who said they wanted the shirt, it's for sale at the Google Store:
Until just now I didn't even realize Google HAD a store! Wow...

Our Ultrasuede® Screen Cloth gently yet effectively cleans glossy surfaces of smudges. It's great for the screens of iPads, iPhones, laptops, and monitors, as well as eyeglasses and sunglasses. Because it has soft, die-cut edges rather than sewn edges, there's nothing sharp that could scratch. To use, lightly brush any debris off the screen, then gently rub smudges away.
The Ultrasuede® Screen Cloth measures 9" / 230 mm square. It is lightly embossed with the TOM BIHN and Ultrasuede® logos so you can tell which side is "up."
We recommend hand washing the Ultrasuede® Screen Cloth with a very small amount of mild soap. It can be machine washed, but make sure you first put it in a net bag. You can even dry-clean it if you'd like.
Ultrasuede® — note the uppercase "U" and the "®": while there are cheap knockoffs of Ultrasuede® out there, we only use the real deal here at TOM BIHN. The quality of Ultrasuede®, invented in 1970 by Dr. Miyoshi Okamoto, is evident in the richness of its hand, its superior durability, and its easy cleaning and maintenance. Incredibly soft, Ultrasuede® can be trusted not to scratch even the most delicate surfaces.

Right Stuf, Inc. is proud to announce a new program to allow fans to join us in supporting Paws & Effect, a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that raises and trains service dogs for individuals with disabilities. Please consider joining us as we support this very worthwhile cause.
Donations are in $1 increments. Simply change the quantity to the number of dollars you would like to donate to this cause.
About Paws & Effect
Paws & Effect is an organization that raises and trains service dogs for individuals with disabilities. Paws & Effect's newest venture is training service dogs for veterans. The service dogs are trained to assist the veterans with their physical and emotional needs. A lot of the veterans that receive a service dog have some form of post-traumatic stress disorder. A majority of veterans that are affected by post-traumatic stress disorder become easily startled by loud noise, sudden movements, or large crowds. The service dogs help the veterans adjust back into their civilian life. When a veteran feels alone, the service dog stands by his side. When the veteran is overwhelmed with everyday life, the service dog is there to calm him down. To the veterans the service dogs are not only their companions, but their partners.
Paws & Effect's goal is to continue to raise and train service dogs for veterans in need. Veterans receive the service dogs at no cost to them or their families.
How You Can Help
For each donation, Right Stuf will foot the bill for the processing fees and paperwork. The entirety of your gift is passed along to Paws & Effect and its efforts. Donations are tax deductible. There is no minimum or limit on the number of donations you can make.

By Ken Barhorst
After the kind of season — and career — that Sidney High graduate Jack Foy had at Notre Dame College, you really can't blame him for not wanting to see his football playing days come to an end.
And even though he's used up all his college eligibility now, we may not have seen the last of the fleet wide receiver.
Foy revealed this week that he has been invited to Baltimore on March 29 to take part in an Under Armour pro day, or to use the preferred term these days, NFL combine. He said it will be held at the Baltimore Ravens facility, and he will be getting looks from a bevy of professional scouts.
"It's exciting," said Foy this week. "Only the best out of our conference were invited, so I feel pretty honored. I know I'll be a little nervous, but I'm not worried."
He was an obvious choice to attend from the Mountain East Conference, of which Notre Dame College is a part. Last season, Foy led the conference in receptions with 93, an average of nearly nine per contest. And that's with catching just two in the season finale. And his 836 receiving yards were fourth-best in the conference.
His 8.5 catches per game ranked him ninth in the entire nation in Division II.
He is 5-foot-8 and a chiseled 190 pounds, and has been working out diligently since the season ended — and extra hard since getting invited to the combine. He has a trainer he works with three times a week in Brunswick on strength and agility, so he's determined to make the most of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
His home school is proud of him, too — he said he was booted out of the weight room by the track coach when that season started up, but the athletic director took the track coach aside and told him "he needs to be in here." So he can use the Notre Dame weight room any time he wants.
It's paying off, too. Foy, who has one semester of classes to complete at Notre Dame, said he benches 395 pounds.
Foy has helped put the still young Notre Dame football program on the map in his career. He said the school contacted then Sidney coach Dan Cairns about Foy after hearing a lot about the Sidney standout from then athletic director Scott Stemple.
"I really owe Scott a lot," said Foy. "I went as a running back, but I struggled, so I was switched to slot receiver and I started getting a little more love out there. Then my senior year, I got a lot of love out there."
Foy's senior season is made even more remarkable by the fact that he had to battle turf toe for much of the season. But he battled through it and is now healthy and ready to take the next step.
If that doesn't turn out to be the NFL, Foy said he may look to try out for the Canadian Football League.
"My grandma before she passed away, she told me I was going to do something great," he said. "So maybe that time is here."
