I think it's okay to be excited about Davis's game after 2.5 games. I also think it's okay to be skeptical. One party will probably be wrong, but it will be months or even years before we know who that is.
So why are we doing this again?
The funniest thing about this discussion is that 10 of Drummonds 28 shot attempts are after offensive rebounds. That alone makes up 28% of his offense.
PelicansReport.com Sim League
New Orleans Hornets General Manager
He's averaging 14 for the year. Less than 9 points a game for his career. He's also in his prime. Players reach their prime in the NBA at 23/24 years old. Davis is 19 and he has better averages across the board than Ibaka except for blocks. And the Westbrooks/Durant argument can be used against Ibaka. He's not even their third option. Davis is THE option on the Hornets. He's doing this with Vasquez & Anderson. No one is trying to stop Ibaka. The first name out of any opponent's mouth is Anthony Davis when they play the Hornets.
As for the unassisted baskets... who cares? They're not all dunks. He gets the ball and quickly turns around and shoots it before the double team collapses on him (he did this on three consecutive plays against the Bobcats for example). It shouldn't be a negative that he doesn't hesitate so that the passer doesn't get credit for getting him the ball.
As for assisted baskets. If Davis can't create for himself I can't put him in the ranks of superstardom. Once again it's way too early to say. Yet people are taking to this site with torches and pitchforks using 2.5 games to tell me Davis will be a superstar for sure. You can't use his 2.5 games of production to prove I'm wrong especially when the issues that preventing me for projecting Davis as a star or superstar isn't being displayed. You can't say it's too early to critique, but at the same time say it's not to early to determine all-time greatness.
Shoot. You even say he can't dribble, yet he's even dribbled it behind his back to get around a defender in his most recent game. You say he can't pass, yet he had several good passes late in that game for assists. We haven't even scratched the surface yet on what we'll see from him, and he's already impressed EVERYONE... except you. And you should be the one most impressed, since you thought he was garbage from the word go.
Andre Drummond is better than Anthony Davis. LOL. What a joke. The guy can't even score more than 7 points in a game unless he gets lucky. This is the guy that can't do everything that you say Davis can't do. Everyone was on the Drummond bandwagon a year ago. You're the only one who didn't jump off when he didn't do anything at UConn.

Also Drummond is option number 4 at best on any time he's on the court team. Davis is option number 1 for us. These things greatly impact per game averages. The Pistons have 3 or 4 guys who would be option #1 if they were on the Hornets team.
LOL at Drummond probably on the worst team in the NBA and still can't log minutes.
Davis steps on the court and instantly makes the Hornets better, can the same be said with Drummond? Does he make the Pistons better? Since they are 0-8, I don't think so.
As you know, I am one that welcomes the differing opinion, it would be a disservice to all of us if we all agreed on everything. We need people to bring up things and as questions, but this comparison is a bit of a reach.

Strengths: Super fast, one of the lightest fullsus frame in the market @ 1.79kg, acceptably stiff, forward geometry, remote for both front+rear in 1, finishing quality of the carbon frame, included parts of the 2010 models such as handlebar + stem + seatpost are acceptably light enough compared with top carbon parts.
Weaknesses: Pedal bob when the shock is open. There's no way around it. Racing geometry can be overwhelming sometimes when you want to go slow during descents. External cable routing is busy.

Strengths: Fast....When I am on the trail others have real problems keeping up. I ride this bike very hard three to four times a week. Very good suspension, if you set it up right! Took me a year to get the full advantage out of it. Rear suspension control on the fly, love it! Like I said I take this bike on very rocky, roots, up and down fast hills with no problem at all. Before getting this I was afraid it would not be able to handle the trails in the Georgia Mtns. I have no problem with any thing I have ever came across. When I wear this one out I will get another. By the way I see no wear except on the tires. Keep your chain lubed, tire psi in line, suspension tuned, and you are good to go.
Weaknesses: Spark 10 is lighter. I really have no complaints, I am sitting, thinking and can not come up with a single thing. It would be nice to have an extra water-bottle cage mount. I would probable never use it so no big deal.

Bottom Line:
The only weak point in this bike is the wheels. CrossRide a a great robust wheel, but a little on the heavy side when compared to the other components of this bike. Lets face it they are an easy upgrade.
At full price this is an expensive bike, but probably workth it. At $3000 or less this rocks.

Bike Setup: Stock with a longer Race Face stem. Thinknig of changing to a Fizik saddle as they suit me well.
Date Reviewed: July 29, 2009
Strengths: The carbon frame is super light and with the DT swiss shock they keep the weight down. The fork, Rock Shox Reba, is not as good as the Fox Float RL, ive used both, and like the Fox better but the Reba is still a great fork.
I am an avid racer and had the Scott Scale before this, their hardtail XC race bike, and the Spark climbs just as well with better traction on the loose climbs, plus it descends extremely well, with only 100mm of travel in the front and 110mm in the back you stay glued to the trail.
Weaknesses: The groupset is not weak just average don't expect anything amazing from it.
Other than that this bike is built extremely well.

Strengths: Lightweight, Fast, Fast, Fast. Awesome looks! Ok, seriously now. The Mavic Crossrides are ok. Could be better but I'm a lean 215 lbs and 5'10" and I have stressed this wheelset and they hold up fine. Frame is plush and strong - love the geometry and feel of the way this carbon frame soaks up nature's imperfections. Shifter's could have been better but I just received a set of X.0's to swap out tomorrow along with all the shimano stuff. Crankset could be a higher quality but for the price and components you get without having to do the build yourself this wasn't a bad bike. The lifetime warranty on the frame from Scott is just an added bonus.

Strengths: Light, Strong, Quick, Stiff, Traction control located on handlebar, Front Shock, Looks great.
Weaknesses: Brakes (Avid Juicy 5) are not great.
Bottom Line:
Once you get the hang of using this system it is something that becomes as natural as changing gear and you will be suprised how often you make subtle changes throughout your ride.
You are paying for the Carbon frame and this is definately taken into account with the gears (Shimano LX) which i have found to be a bit agricultural and the brakes (Avid Juicy 5) which are poor. This though is to be expected on a lightweight carbon bike at this end of the price range. If you want better components then you are need to look at the Scott Spark 10 or 20. The difference in price between the 30 and 20 was about £800 - 1200 and to be honest you can use the standard Spark 30 for the first year and add better components to it if you decide you need to. The only components i am definately going to change are the brakes.
All in all i am absolutely thrilled with this bike, it has got me off the roads and into the woods absolutely brilliant on singletracks, so fast it is frightening. It is very strong and you will be amazed at what the bike will let you ride over. I have gone from being a poor mountain bike rider to one of the better ones in our group purely through the bike allowing me to have more confidence to attack sections I would normally avoid and on any uphill sections i have ended up just leaving people behind.
One final point, I purchased this from Westbrook cycles in Middlesborough. Fantasic price (£1350)and outstanding service. I would definately recommend them.

Date Reviewed: March 16, 2008
Strengths: This is a really strong bike. I was expecting it to be more fragile due to the light weight, but it has proven my worries to be false. The 30 comes with a weak group of components, but that's why I bought it - so I could upgrade the components to fit me. I've added quite a bit and the bike just keeps getting better. Light, agile, and sexy.
Weaknesses: The component group was pretty weak, but more $ will buy the 10 or 20 and remedy that. Also, we found that there was a minor problem in the suspension with bolts loosening after about 4 hours of riding. A little of that blue locktight and a Park Tool torque wrench fixed that problem. Those Scott Ozone tires were terrible ... too thin. I flatted 3 times on one ride!

The women's cross country team brought a camera along on one of their runs.
Steve Keith has completed eight years as cross country coach at his alma mater, while serving the last three as head coach of the track and field program at his alma mater. During that time, Keith's nearly three decades of experience coaching top-flight athletes at four institutions has helped Vanderbilt reach new heights in cross country and track and field.
In 2012-13 alone, the women's cross country program reached the NCAA Championships for the second consecutive year, Brionne Williams earned All-America status in the indoor high jump and a program record 11 athletes qualified for NCAA action during the outdoor season.
This past season opened with the women's cross country team returning to the NCAA Championships for the second straight year and the second time in program history. The team spent a majority of the season ranked and won the Belmont Opener and Commodore Classic, before placing third at the SEC Championships. Hannah Jumper earned SEC Freshman of the Year honors, placing seventh at the league meet, while Kristen Findley joined her on the All-SEC team. The Commodores then placed second at the NCAA South Regional, paced by Findley, Jumper and Liz Anderson, securing the NCAA Championship berth.
The 2013 indoor track season saw the program's first All-American since 2005 when Brionne Williams qualified for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships. Williams finished 15th in the nation in the high jump, earning second team All-America honors.
The outdoor track season saw the program continue to grow, as 11 athletes qualified for the NCAA East Preliminary Round, the most ever. The future continues to be bright, as of the 11, just one was a senior this year. In addition to youth, the group of NCAA participants showcased depth as it included seven distance/middle-distance runners to go along with two freshman hurdles (Jennifer Cannon and Faith Washington) and a pair of junior high jumpers (Williams and Ellie Tidman).
The 2011-12 campaign opened with the women's cross country team taking the SEC title with five Commodores finishing in the top nine. Alexa Rogers (second), Liz Anderson (fourth) and Jordan White (seventh) captured First Team All-SEC honors, while Louise Hannallah (eighth) and Kristen Smith (ninth) earned spots on the second team. Vanderbilt also placed three runners on the All-Freshmen team, as Grace Orders, Rebecca Chandler and Amira Joseph each earned top-30 finishes.
The Commodores went on to finish second at the NCAA South Regional, earning the program's first-ever trip to the NCAA Championships. Vanderbilt placed sixth in the nation at the Championships in Terre Haute, Ind., with Rogers placing 39th and becoming the program's first All-American.
For his efforts in 2011, Keith was named both the Southeastern Conference Women's Cross Country Coach of the Year and the NCAA South Region Women's Cross Country Coach of the Year.
The track season saw Orders earn her second SEC All-Freshman honors of the year, this time in the indoor 3,000 meters. That was followed by an outdoor season that sent six Commodores to the NCAA East Preliminary Round. Kristen Findley, who placed fourth in the 1,500 meters at the SEC Outdoor Championships and set a school record in the event, missed a trip to the NCAA Championships by .16 seconds, placing 13th.
Kristen Smith (5,000 meters), Meagan Martin (pole vault), Morgan Toone (pole vault), Ellie Tidman (high jump) and Brionne Williams (high jump) also qualified for NCAA Preliminary Round competition.
All told, Commodore runners set school records in four indoor events (1000 meters, mile, 3000 meters and distance medley relay), followed by two more school records during the outdoor season (1500 meters and the 4x1500 relay). In addition, there were a combined 54 runs for personal records during the two 2012 track seasons (20 indoor/34 outdoor).
As has become the standard for Keith's teams, the performance in the classroom was just as impressive. Jordan White was named to the Capital One CoSIDA Academic All-District Team, while White, Liz Anderson, Louise Hannallah and Alexa Rogers were named to the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association All-Academic List.
In his first seven seasons with the Commodores, both the men's and women's cross country programs have earned All-Academic honors (with distinction) with team grade-point averages of at least 3.4.
The 2010-11 track campaign saw middle distance standouts Jordan White, Alexa Rogers and Liz Anderson become NCAA qualifiers. White (4:25.58) and Rogers (4:26.54) both qualified in the 1,500 meters and freshman Liz Anderson ran the 4th best time in school history (16:29.67) in the 5,000 just narrowly missing a berth in the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
During spring 2011, senior Rita Jorgensen ran a school record 800 meter time of 2:05.54 in qualifying for the NCAA Preliminary Round. Jorgensen finished off her stellar career scoring both indoors (mile/3rd) and outdoors (800 meters/5th) at the SEC Championships.
The fall of 2010 was a record-breaking season for Keith and the Commodore cross country team. The women finished third in the SEC and third at the NCAA South Regional, while having White and Jorgensen gain All-SEC honors. Newcomer Anderson was also named to the All-SEC Freshman team.
The season was capped off with Jordan White becoming just the 2nd Vanderbilt individual to qualify for the NCAA Championships with her 10th place finish at the Region meet.
Under Keith, the Vanderbilt Track all-time lists continue to be rewritten with numerous top-10 performances from the 800 through the 10,000. Several new school standards have been established, including the indoor 3,000 meters, outdoor 800 meters and outdoor 10,000 meters, by Keith-conditioned standouts. On the top-10 lists, 45 indoor marks and 36 outdoor marks are from 2012 or 2013.
Nearly every meet produces at least a few personal bests for members of Keith's distance corps. Over their first year each of Keith's new student-athletes has seen a significant drop from their best high school times and they have continued to progress through their senior year which is a main focus and goal of the program. "Our coaching staff takes tremendous pride and pleasure in seeing our seniors finish their careers with personal bests. This is what we are all in it for."
As a Vanderbilt alum and cross country letter winner from 1977-81, Keith understands that success as a Commodore rides on maintaining the delicate balance of excellence on the track and in the classroom. Keith has the professional experience - including Division I tenures at Alabama, Texas-El Paso and Georgia Tech - to guide the Commodores into the future.
"I'm very familiar with the level of competition and caliber it takes to be at the top of the conference. If you can be an SEC title contender then you can be at a top 10 national level and that is our goal," Keith said. "Our recruiting has been geared to building a contending program and we have seen significant progress toward this goal."
Before arriving at Vanderbilt, Keith served five years as head women's cross country coach at the University of Alabama. Keith mentored three members of the Crimson Tide women's distance corps to All-SEC honors. Prior to coaching in the SEC, Keith worked with distance runners at the University of Texas-El Paso. In the Texas border community, Keith directed one of the nation's leading distance teams. Coaching both men and women, Keith's runners at UTEP included a pair of NCAA national individual champions and 22 All-America recipients. His top UTEP pupils included Svetlana Badrankova, Jim Svenoy, Carlos Suarez and Bashar Ibrahim.
Badrankova was an elite half-miler, capturing the NCAA women's 800 meters in 2001. Badrankova remains one of the fastest collegiate runners ever at 800 meters, with a personal best of 2:00.9. Svenoy, a Norwegian, won the 1995 NCAA 3,000-meter steeplechase and was a two-time Olympic finalist in the event. Svenoy's winning NCAA effort of 8:21 in the steeplechase still ranks among the all-time Top 10 collegiate runners. Suarez and Ibrahim were All-American middle distance runners, both running sub-4:00 miles.
At Georgia Tech, Keith mentored four All-Americans, including 1,500-meter standout Alan Drosky. Besides Drosky, the other Georgia Tech All-American recipients were steeplechaser Eric Smith, 5,000-meter runner Karen Hoffman, and 800-meter runner Shellie O'Neal.
Keith started his collegiate coaching career at Emory University, serving as distance coach from 1983 to 1986. In his three years there, the men's team qualified for NCAA D-III Cross Country Nationals finishing 20th, 19th and 17th with two individual All-Americans.

ORGANISERS of the Lake District's 11th annual air extravaganza, taking place on July 23 and 24, have revealed their display line-up.
The Windermere Air Festival kicks off on the Saturday with the breathtaking acrobatics of the Breitling Wing Walkers, performing a sequence of manoeuvres and handstands whilst strapped to the top wings of the team's Boeing Stearman biplanes.
First day visitors will also be treated to the RedHawks' air show act with a slow, gentle and graceful four-minute, three-dimensional aerial ballet performed to soothing music by a pair of 42 year-old, wooden, high-efficiency aeroplanes, designed by French musician, artist, ceramicist and sculptor Réné Fournier.
Another Saturday highlight will be the RAF Falcons parachute display team, now in their 50th year.
The Battle of Britain Memorial Flight will grace the skies above Windermere on both days with special flights from the Spitfire, Hurricane and Lancaster Bomber.
The RV8tors will be flying their remarkably fast Vans RV-8's with powerful smoke systems, performing an exciting and memorable display.
Combining close formation aerobatics with speeds up to 230 mph, the display makes large manoeuvres that fill the sky and leave big smoke trails.
Also appearing at the festival will be the RAF Tucano and the RAF Hawk.
Both spectacular in their own right the Hawk display team will demonstrate the professional excellence of the RAF while the Tucano display consists of 21 manoeuvres including an offset barrel roll, stall turn, oblique loop and reverse wingover.
On Sunday, the Twister Duo will create a display of formation barrel loops, rolls and gravity defying zoom climbs.
The highlight of the weekend is set to be the renowned ambassadors of the RAF and everyone's favourite – The Red Arrows.
Having missed last year's Lakeland air show, the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, have been confirmed to headline 2011's festival.
Appearing at the air festival is a welcome return for Squadron Leader Graeme Bagnall.
Graeme, who is Red 10, is the team's commentator and on the ground safety supervisor.
He was educated at nearby St Bee's School, in Cumbria.
Mr Bagnall said: "We are really looking forward to displaying at Windermere.
"It's a stunning location and will definitely be a highlight of the display season for me.
"I can't wait to meet the crowd when I'm on the ground at the show doing the commentary for the Team.
"You get a real buzz from seeing how the audience reacts to the displays."
The RAF Red Arrows have been wowing audiences since their first season in 1965, they have flown over 4,000 displays in 52 countries.
Today the Red Arrows are renowned throughout the world,acting as ambassadors for Great Britain when displaying overseas.
They also support UK industry by demonstrating the capabilities of British equipment and expertise.
Lucy Bennett, a director of the air festival, said: "It's such a coup for us to host the Red Arrows this year.
"They put on such a fantastic display and really add some excitement to the programme.
"The highly acclaimed displays are filled full of twists, turns, drama and excitement - they are definitely not one to be missed."
Attractions on the ground at the Air Base include the military village, battle re-enactments and flying simulator, new kids have-a-go activities plus face painting, circus skills, music and great local food stalls.
The Windermere Air Festival 2011 takes place on Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24. The Air Base is located on the Glebe in Bowness-on-Windermere. For further information, click on the website below.
A VERY small Beatrix Potter drawing has sold for nearly £50,000 at an auction in America.
The three-and-three-quarter inches by six inches ink and watercolour had been expected to sell for up to 37,500 at the Sotheby's auction, in New York, but reached £47,438
The miniature, called 'Guinea pigs going to their garden...' was among 193 original illustrations sold by wealthy American couple, Kendra and Allan Daniel. The painting depicts four guinea pigs following a fifth along a path carrying garden tools.
A spokesman for Sotheby's said: "Early in 1893, when she was in her twenties, Beatrix Potter borrowed a number of guinea pigs from her friend, Miss Paget. One, named Mr Chopps, proved to be no problem but another, named Queen Elizabeth, apparently 'took to eating blotting paper, pasteboard, string and other curious substances and expired during the night. A pair of gardening illustrations date from this time: four guinea pigs following a blue-coated guinea pig and four guinea pigs working under the guidance of the blue-coated guinea pig.
"These were later redrawn in 1922 and used in Potter's book Cecil Parsley's Nursery Rhymes."

Not sure if anyone did already, but I can confirm that the team has offered up Vasquez on at least one occasion.

The Bulls would be absolutely crazy to not pull the trigger on a Gordon for Deng swap. He would give Rose so much relief while playing alongside him. That would be a fun combo when healthy to watch. Deng also has his benefits for the Hornets, but no way we do it straight up. Once Gordon gets healthy and shows what he is capable of you will see his trade value rise right or near what it previously was.
You just dont trade a 23 yr old 2guard for what chris said his flying animal friends are chirping to him. if anything i think they keep the core of davis gordon, rivers and anderson and work the roster around them. i do believe we are going to go after Jennings but i dont believe he would sign back with the hornets.
I would take Deng for Gordon. A guy who plays as many games as possible for a guy who avoids as many games as possible? Where do I sign?
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
"Its important to us to bring in good people, people who can fit in the locker room and people you want to root and cheer for. People that want to win. Were trying to build for the long haul. -Dell Demps
I have a big feeling Aminu would be on the out very soon, wouldnt be surprised if we give up our 1st round pick for someone big aswell like Jennings.
Jennings is the only player on that list that I would trade our 1st round pick for. I would not trade our pick for Deng
Somehow a lot of people think a trade for Jennings I posted is laughable which I think will happen just watch. Then when Gordon shows his worth just maybe we can get Paul George if not then Danny Granger and a 1st.
What is it about Jennings that's so good?
if we keep gordon i think jennings isnt a good fit, not enough ball for gordon jennings and rivers, rather a deng/granger type SF who doesnt need the ball to be effective offensively
I'd rather Kemba over Jennings

I can't recall the trade but I'm pretty willing to bet you can find it. I think he proposed what was a potential trade on the table awhile back but wouldn't list the hornets player who was being shopped because that person was part of the reg rotation. We all assumed different players but he never gave up the name. I'd be willing to bet that mystery player was GV. I just don't care enough to go back and search.

You guys TOTALLY disregard the way Monty coaches when coming up with this stuff... we NEED A SG AND A SF THAT SCORES OFF OF THE DRIBBLE... Monty does a TON of iso plays and what are two things that we've never had that held us back??? an SG and SF... Gordon for Deng would be great ONLY if we were able to get Mayo in the FA... Rivers won't take us to the promise land fellas, and we'll have to be geniuses in the draft... So yea, i could see Gordon for Deng and finding a way to possibly get Mayo in the FA, That'll upgrade those two positions immediately and let Rivers be the guy off the bench scoring for us along with RyNo
plus we'll use our lottery pick for somebody great who can come off of the bench
I don't see the bobcats parting with Kemba Walker without a lot in return. He fits the system in place for Bobcats new coach perfectly. Jennings will be way easier attainable and we have been rumored to him previously. I think with the right coaching, system, and players around him he could possibly develop into next Tony Parker next to Rivers. Possibly Move Gordon for a Paul George if not a Granger/Deng all very realistic. Maybe move Lopez for McGee if you don't like it or won't happen then no, but would be best defensive big men in the NBA. We still have a 1st rnd pick and could possibly add Nerlens Noel who so happened to wanna be just like Anthony Davis. That would be the best big man tandem maybe ever! Draft other big men if not possible. We shoulld do whatever possible to draft him whether that's moving up or losing enough games so we are a Lottery pick, not purposely.
Jennings/Bledsoe?, Rivers, George/Granger/Deng, Davis/Ryno!, Noel?!, Smith, Lopez, McGee?
Those are all very possible and would be serious championship contenders once developed.
Lopez for McGee I'd actually like, depends if Denver wants to shed salary. Would also be interested in one of their many SF's, perhaps toss them a 2014 first? IDK. Couldnt happen till after Shards deal comes off the books.
Jennings or bust.
Deng is not what we need at the SF... we can experiment w/ Anderson at the 3 on offense and Davis guarding 3's on D.
Perhaps that's why Aminu was moved into the starting lineup again and Vasquez has been playmaking more getting his stats up. A bit of an audition b/c this team can settle w/ having Rivers/Roberts backing up the PG spot once EG comes back.

The Groovy-Eclipse team is proud to announce the release of Groovy-Eclipse 2.8.0. This is a service refresh of Groovy-Eclipse and it now contains support for the 2.0.7 and 2.1.5 Groovy compilers as well as Eclipse 4.2.
You can use the following update sites to install this release:
The Groovy 2.1 compiler is not installed by default. If you want to install it, you can do so from the Extra Compilers category in the update site.
And a zipped version of the update site is available at:
Editor templates
The Groovy editor now supports templating similar to the Java editor. For example, when you invoke content assist, and the prefix matches an available template, you will see it in the content assist menu:
After applying the template, you get a chance to tab through the template variables and edit them:
The list of templates are available in Preferences -> Groovy -> Editor -> Groovy Templates:
Here you can edit existing templates or create new ones:
Surround with...
The Groovy editor now supports surround-with templates. This allows you to surround a selection of code with a template (similar functionality exists in the Java editor). To access this functionality, select some text, and press CMD/CTRL+1:
All the surround-with templates appear as quick fixes. This functionality is also available by Right-click -> Surround with. Or by typing CTRL/CMD+ALT+Z:
Selecting the last line to Configure templates... will open up the template preferences page shown above. All templates that use a ${line_selection} variable will appear in the Surround With menu.
Compiler switching
There are some significant changes in the way multiple compilers are handled in the workspace now. The back end implementation for this has been completely rewritten using different OSGi functionality. From a user's perspective, most functionality should be the same, except for the following differences:
- Compiler settings are now per-workspace, instead of per-install. This means that if you use multiple workspaces with different compiler levels, you no longer have to use separate shortcuts to launch them.
- There is now a Don't care setting for projects. In the Project Groovy compiler preferences page, you can set your project to Don't care and it will avoid checking for compiler mismatches no matter what compiler level the current workspace is using.
- There is now a compiler switching UI. Select a project with a compiler mismatch problem on it. Project -> Groovy -> Fix compiler mismatch problems:
Selecting this will bring up the following dialog that allows you to configure all projects throughout the workspace at once:
Navigation and hovers in binary Groovy files
Navigation to definitions and JavaDoc hovers are now supported in class files compiled from Groovy, when the source is available. You can see this here, when exploring the SwingBuilder class:
@DelegatesTo support
The Groovy 2.1 @DelegatesTo annotation is now supported in Groovy-Eclipse:
In the screenshot above, you can see the Email class and that it is being used as a delegate to the email function. The implementation is snipped, but you can see that when selecting the from field reference inside the closure, its definition is highlighted in the Email class. Also, the hover properly describes where the reference comes from.
Memory improvements
Significant memory improvements are now in Groovy-Eclipse. Here are some numbers. We imported the GPars project into an empty workspace of GGTS 3.2.0 (with Groovy-Eclipse 2.7.2) and also into an empty workspace of GGTS 3.3.0.M2 (with Groovy-Eclipse 2.8.0.M2). We also did the same for an empty Grails 2.2.2 project (i.e., run grails create-app and import the results). After a full clean-compile-clean-compile-GC-GC-GC cycle, you will notice a large difference in heap size:
|GPars project
|Empty Grails project
(Groovy-Eclipse 2.7.2)
|348 Mb heap used
|130 Mb heap used
(Groovy-Eclipse 2.8.0.M2)
|133 Mb heap used
|108 Mb heap used
|215 Mb
|22 Mb
For compiling GPars, GGTS 3.3.0.M2 has more than 200 Mb smaller footprint. Empty Grails projects show a 22 Mb smaller GGTS footprint. For all the details, see GRECLIPSE-1633. Workspaces that declare enums or annotations in Groovy source will see this dramatic memory improvement. And there are other, smaller tweaks that apply memory improvements to all workspaces.
Better anonymous inner type support
There is now full editor support for anonymous inner types. The outline view works as expected with the inner type appearing properly named and inside of the method that declares it:
Searching for references to methods declared in anonymous inner types works as expected:
And navigation works as expected. Navigating from a method reference will take you to its declaration and navigating from the super-type of the anonymous type will take you to its declaration.
More precise error locations
Error markers now more precisely cover the error that they are describing, specifically with missing type references. As you can see in Groovy-Eclipse 2.8.0, missing types are fully underlined with red squiggles:
And the same class in Groovy-Eclipse 2.7.2 shows that the red squiggles are improperly placed:
Smaller install size
We have repackaged the org.codehaus.groovy bundles and removed extraneous jar files. Install size of Groovy-Eclipse has been reduced by about 20 Mb.
Upgrade to Groovy 2.1.5
Groovy-Eclipse now contains Groovy 2.1.5 as an optional add-on from the update site. See Compiler Switching within Groovy-Eclipse for more information on how to do this.
groovy-eclipse-compiler now requires explicit groovy-eclipse-batch dependency
The 2.8.0-01 release of the groovy-eclipse-compiler (the Eclipse-based Groovy compiler plugin for Maven) has been released simultaneously with Groovy-Eclipse 2.8.0. The groovy-eclipse-compiler artifact is a small wrapper that implements the compiler plugin API. Actual compilation is delegated to the groovy-eclipse-batch compiler. There is a version of the groovy-eclipse-batch artifact for each Groovy version. Prior to 2.8.0-01, consumers did not need to explicitly specify a groovy-eclipse-batch version in the pom. In this case, the most recent version of groovy-eclipse-batch was used. However, this lead to problems when a new version of groovy-eclipse-batch was released and the behavior of builds would change. Now, the version must be explicit and this ensures stability of builds over time. For example, running with the following will produce an error message:
The error message will look something like this:
And adding a dependency to the maven-compiler-plugin like this, will ensure the compile is successful:
Groovy compiler
Groovy-Eclipse 2.8.0 uses Groovy 2.0.7 by default and comes with Groovy 1.8.6 can be optionally enbled. Groovy 2.1.5 and 1.7.10 can be installed through the extra compilers section on the Groovy-Eclipse update site.
This is the last release with Groovy 1.7 support. If you want to install Groovy 1.7, then you must de-select Group items by category in the install manager:
This version of Groovy-Eclipse comes pre-installed in the Groovy/Grails Tool Suite version 3.3.0. It is also tested on Eclipse versions 3.7.2, 3.8.2, 4.2.2, and 4.3.
There are several notable compatibility changes with the 2.8.0-01 release of the groovy-eclipse-compiler:
- Requires maven-compiler-plugin 3.0 or greater
- Requires plexus-compiler-api 2.2 or greater
- Requires explicit dependency on groovy-eclipse-batch artifact (see above)

Dead In The Water....The Night Owl
Well so far tonight, nothing happened. No really, nothing. Nothing out of the ordinary or new anyway.
The day started very very early when BB woke up the HGs to rush the veto ceremony. Dan was called to the DR and was tipped off that he should be concerned about being back doored and then they instantly started the veto meeting before Frank could even finish talking to Boogie about the idea of putting Dan up. So, needless to say, the feeds came back and everything stayed the same. Thanks a lot production. The chance was small in the first place, but they definitely made sure it wouldn't happen once Frank started really pushing the issue with Boogie.
After the meeting Joe hugged Frank and Boogie (so obvious) and Wil had a panic attack. The rest of the house commenced daily boringness of playing in the pool and sleeping. The general consensus of course is that Wil is dead in the water. There really is no hope. I would be willing to bet every penny I have that nothing will change between now and Thursday and he will be the one walking out the door...sigh..there goes my overnight entertainment.
There was a moment tonight where Britney said she wanted to talk to Wil and that she was considering her options, but unfortunately because dingbat crazy eyes was told by Ian the worm that Wil was after Dan, she has had on her mean pouty puss all day and each time Britney brought up the idea of considering their options she has said "No, I KNOW Wil is after Dan. He HAS to go!".
To add insult to injury, before Wil can even talk to Britney, Joe comes over to the hammock where Britney and Danielle are talking and tells his own version of what he thinks happened the night prior. He spins a story involving Wil saying he wanted Britney, Danielle, Shane, or Dan to leave this week in exchange for safety and that he made a deal with Frank but that Frank completely blew it off. He went on to say that his integrity is obviously higher than Wil's and that he really wants to be there blah blah blah.
Upon Joe's exit from the hammock Danieel seethes "I KNEW IT! I JUST KNEW HE WAS AFTER US! HE HAS TO GO!". Britney puts her own spin on it recalling a conversation that happened about a week ago before noms happened saying that Wil was a liar because he said he wanted to work with she and Shane.
The problem with all of these conversations is that there are tiny TINY bits of truth in them..just enough to make it look suspicious and they are all taken out of context. Wil did not go upstairs and say what Joe said he did. He just went and pled his case...he tried to fight which is what anyone would do on the block. He basically said "why waste a week on me or Joe when there are bigger targets in the house." He strongly implied Dan, but definitely didn't say Britney or Danielle. The part about wanting to work with Britney and Shane was a conversation they had before Noms when he told her that he had no one but Ashley to work with and she was hurt and that he would like SOMEONE to work with and would be open to talking to she and Shane. I think it's a damned if you do and damned if you don't mentality. If you talk to people you are a liar and a schemer. If you don't talk to anyone you are just floating and not playing the game.
Anyway...after this hammock discussion Danielle went inside and told all Joe's lies and Britney's spins to Dan as if they were truths that she actually knew to be fact. Apparently Joe is trustworthy now and none of them can see that Joe has a deal with Frank and Boogie. Good grief. She then went on to bitch and complain about how Shane is such a dick because he talked about how hot Dani Donato is. Dan cut her off with "This is why I said NO SHOWMANCES".
There are a lot of little conversations like this going on in the house, but none of them vary far away from the same general idea which is get Wil out first and hope it's a fast forward or DE so they can get Joe out.
Meanwhile Joe continues to lie and scream his cooking shows at the camera and tell big whopping stories that annoy the shit out of everyone. Danielle continues to act like a psycho about pretty much everything. Britney continues to talk shit about everyone and somehow not be found out, and the boys in the house work out and occasionally make comments about how they are definitely keeping Joe.
I'm kind of bored to tears with these people right now. I don't feel like anything exciting will happen until at least Thursday. I'm to the point of most likely going to bed at 2am rather than holding out for 6am when they all go to bed.
I am of course sad that my favorite is going to be walking out the door. I hoped and I hoped but alas hope has failed ...oh well..on to the next one.
But alas...I probably could have written this blog in two simple words "Nothing changed".
I decided to check back in just to make sure that nothing had changed and was exposed to a roving discussion between Frank, Britney, Shane, and Danielle about how many times they have to wipe their ass after they poop and what it looks like and how long their swipes are. I can't make this shit up..no pun intended. This is ACTUALLY what these people talk about.

AKRON, Ohio - Behind one event win and five top-five finishes on the track, including several personal-best times, the Miami University women's track and field team finished strong Saturday on the second and final day of the Akron Invitational, hosted by the University of Akron at Stile Athletics Field House.
The meet provided a talented field for the RedHawks that included No. 11 Georgia, Pittsburgh and West Virginia, as well as Mid-American Conference foes Bowling Green, Kent State and the host Zips. Several other schools also competed.
Redshirt senior Alexandra Roberts (Hilliard, Ohio) won the gold division (top tier) shot put with a heave of 14.67m/48-1.75, which is the ninth-best throw in school history, eight of which Roberts owns. She finished first in the shot put for the second straight meet and third time this year. In the blue division shot put, junior Tori Paterra (Elizabeth, Pa.) grabbed third with a throw of 13.02m/42-8.75 while redshirt senior Samantha Gable (Greenfield, Ind.) was fourth in the blue division weight throw with a toss of 16.96m/55-7.75.
In other field action, redshirt junior Ashley Zaper (Whitehouse, Ohio) tied for fourth in the gold division high jump with West Virginia's Hannah Stone, as both cleared 1.64m/5-4.5. Freshman Jess Baker (Aurora, Ohio) was seventh after topping the bar at 1.58m/5-2.25, which matches her personal best. Zaper also placed fourth in the long jump gold division with a leap of 5.44m/17-10.25.
Senior Layne Baggett (Pittsburgh, Pa.) continued to perform well in the 60m hurdles as she qualified for the finals in fourth, crossing in 8.59 in the prelims. She then finished third in the 60m hurdles finals in 8.51, which ties with herself for the fifth-fastest time in school history. She was the top collegiate finisher behind a pair of unattached hurdlers.
Freshman Kala Allen (East Amherst, N.Y.) had a strong showing in the sprints as she crossed in fourth in the gold division 400m dash in a personal-best 56.19, which ranks her fifth in school history. She was second among collegiate runners, however, behind only Georgia's Shaunae Miller. Allen also took seventh in the gold division 200m dash in a personal-best 24.88, which also moves her up to fifth in school history in that event. She was again behind Miller and two other Bulldog sprinters, as well as Pittsburgh and Kent State runners. Both of her times were season bests among all RedHawks.
Junior Erica Howes (Fairfax, Va.) claimed runner-up in the 3000m gold division run while she was the top collegiate finisher, clocking a personal-best 9:56.47, smashing her previous best by 14 seconds. She was two-hundredths of a second behind an unattached runner and 14 seconds ahead of the rest of the field. Freshman Laura Bess (Brownsburg, Ind.) was the top finisher among three RedHawks in the gold division mile run as she clocked 4:58.23 to take sixth.
In the gold division 800m run, sophomore Taylor Wickware (Geneva, Ill.) captured fourth in a personal-best 2:13.25 while she already ranked fifth all-time at Miami.

4/17/14 Tom Cruise Dating Again
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Thursday, April 17, 2014
JENNY MCCARTHY and "Blue Bloods" star DONNIE WAHLBERG are engaged. She announced it on "The View" yesterday. They also announced that every single co-host, past and present, will be on the show on Thursday, May 15th . . . the day before BARBARA WALTERS officially retires.
MILEY CYRUS had to cancel another show because she was still in the hospital recovering from an allergic reaction to antibiotics. She Tweeted, quote, "I'm so sorry but some things are outta my control. If anyone thinks I'd rather be layin' in a hospital bed than doing what I love on stage they're [effin] LAME. I'm miserable." Meanwhile, TMZ says the reason Miley got sick is because she started going off the rails partying to get over the loss of her dog Floyd earlier this month. They also said the drug she had a reaction to was cephalexin, which she was taking for a sinus infection.
ORLANDO BLOOM got pulled over in Beverly Hills after he blew through a stop sign, but the cop let him go when he realized who he was. Meanwhile, EMMA ROBERTS Tweeted that she got a ticket for talking on her phone while driving . . . even though the cop mistook her BAGEL for a phone.
Tom Cruise has been secretly dating fellow Scientologist Laura Prepon, who plays a lesbian drug dealer on "Orange Is the New Black." P.R. reps for the two denied any romance in November after the two were spotted enjoying dinner at the Manor Hotel in Los Angeles. However, a source tells the NY Post, Cruise and Prepon are still seeing each other, but they are being extremely careful to keep it secret.
4/16/14 Miley Hospitalized

Wednesday, April 16, 2014
MILEY CYRUS was hospitalized yesterday in Kansas City due to a severe allergic reaction to some kind of medication. She had to cancel a gig at the city's Sprint Center because of it. I'm sure your first thought was that it was some kind of non-prescription "medication". But remember, Miley had to cancel a show due to the flu last week, and a source says she's been battling major throat and sinus issues.
ROSIE O'DONNELL is NOT a fan of LINDSAY LOHAN'S new reality show. She Tweeted, quote, "The Lindsay show is a tragedy . . . on every level. I hope one day she gets sober for real and watches these episodes, and sees what we all do."
Dina Lohan pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated and speeding in court on Long Island, New York yesterday. The mother of LiLo will be sentenced on June 3rd and she is expected to be sentenced to 100 hours of community service. Sources also say that she is expected to have her license revoked and to be required to have an interlock device installed on her vehicle.
4/15/14 LiLo Drinking Again
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, April 15, 2014
ALEXA RAY JOEL . . . the daughter of BILLY JOEL and CHRISTIE BRINKLEY . . . collapsed onstage during a performance on Saturday at the Cafe Carlyle in New York City. She was rushed to the hospital, where she did not die. She was diagnosed with vasovagal syncope . . . which is a condition that blocks blood flow to the brain and causes fainting. No treatment is required for it.
Miley Cyrus is still having a hard time adjusting to life without her beloved dog Floyd. Miley's mom surprised her daughter with a new puppy to replace the Alaskan Klee Kai, who died earlier this month. But cute little Moonie wasn't enough to heal Miley's broken heart -- so she gave the pup away.
Last week, Selena Gomez fired her mother and step-father from managing her career. Now, her parents say they had no idea that they had been fired as her managers until TMZ broke the story last week. Selena's mom Mandy Teefey, along with Selena's step-dad, had managed her career since her days with Disney and says she was taken by surprise at the announcement. Selena has opted to go with a more seasoned and better-known manager to direct her career.
Lindsay Lohan was spotted drinking alcohol at Coachella over the weekend. Witnesses say LiLo looked completely out of it as she partied with sister Ali. One witness said she couldn't stand up straight as she was chain smoking cigarettes. It's been eight months since Lohan left rehab and she claims she is doing really good.
7/14/14 What People Earned List

Monday, April 14, 2014
KATE UPTON wishes she had smaller boobs . . . quote, "I love to wear spaghetti tops braless or go for the smallest bikini designs . . . If I could just take them off like they were clip-ons. Every single day, I'm like, 'Oh, man, it would be so much easier,' especially if people didn't constantly bring them up." But she adds, quote, "The grass is always greener, as they say."
There have been rumors that a JUSTIN BIEBER / SELENA GOMEZ sex tape may exist . . . and even if it does, PornHub.com doesn't want it, because they're sick of Justin's punk behavior. (???) The company says, quote, "We just don't approve of all of Bieber's gross behavior . . . [he's] being a real jerk."
"Parade" magazine has released its annual "What People Earn" rundown . . . and apparently, MILEY CYRUS' sleazy, over-the-top demonstration of how she's no longer a Disney kid is REALLY paying off. "Parade" revealed that she pulled down $76.5 MILLION for slutting it up last year. That's more than the $63 million JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE raked in throughout his two-album comeback. Here are some other highlights from the report:
Beyoncé made $57 million in 2013 . . . a year that, for her, culminated in the release of a surprise album.
Bruno Mars earned $38 million in the run-up to his halftime performance at the Super Bowl. Bruno wasn't paid for the Super Bowl . . . halftime performers never are.
Sandra Bullock made $63 million with the help of her two latest movies, "The Heat" and "Gravity". And Matthew McConaughey, who has been everywhere, earned $19 million.
Reviled "Bachelor" Juan Pablo Galavis made $150,000.
Daniel Radcliffe made $17 million, which includes his paycheck for the upcoming "Frankenstein" movie. Daniel is playing Igor. The movie has already been filmed, but it won't come out until October of NEXT year.
Steve Harvey raked in $30 million. That includes his talk show and his "Family Feud" hosting gig.
Tyler Perry earned $78 million . . . and believe it or not, "Fifty Shades of Grey" author E.L. James somehow made an estimated $51.7 million.
GISELE BUNDCHEN says the "Forbes" lists of the World's Highest-Paid Models got her in trouble with the IRS. She says, quote, "The people who write these things don't have my bank account details. I do OK, I earn plenty, but not as much as they say. I've already been audited by the IRS because of this list."
4/11/14 Stars We Love to Hate

Friday, April 11, 2014
CBS didn't waste any time in announcing DAVID LETTERMAN'S replacement. STEPHEN COLBERT will take over "The Late Show" sometime next year, although there's no specific timetable yet. CBS also confirmed that Stephen is dropping the super conservative character he plays on "The Colbert Report".
CRAIG FERGUSON is welcoming STEPHEN COLBERT to CBS, even though he probably wanted to be DAVID LETTERMAN'S successor. However, there's speculation that Craig had a clause in his contract that awarded him a payout of at least $5 MILLION if he wasn't given "The Late Show".
According to a new British survey, men want a woman with Megan Fox's face and Kim Kardashian's boobs. But women would rather have Cara Delevingne's face and Jennifer Aniston's boobs. –No shocker there!
"Life & Style" magazine put together a list of stars we LOVE TO HATE, and I think they mostly nailed it. They chose Katherine Heigl, Gwyneth Paltrow, Mel Gibson, Anne Hathaway, Gisele Bundchen, Alec Baldwin and Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.
Selena Gomez has fired her parents, who've been managing her career since she scored it big on the Disney channel. TMZ says Selena gave her mother and her stepfather the axe last month, because "she believes she's now old enough -- and famous enough -- to have a seasoned professional manager with other A-list clients."
