ArrayList.IndexOf Method (Object, Int32)
Namespace: System.Collections
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
abstract IndexOf : value:Object * startIndex:int -> int override IndexOf : value:Object * startIndex:int -> int
- value
- Type: System.Object
The Object to locate in the ArrayList. The value can be a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic).
- startIndex
- Type: System.Int32
The zero-based starting index of the search. 0 (zero) is valid in an empty list.
Return ValueType: System.Int32
The zero-based index of the first occurrence of value within the range of elements in the ArrayList that extends from startIndex to the last element, if found; otherwise, -1.
startIndex is outside the range of valid indexes for the ArrayList.
The ArrayList is searched forward starting at startIndex and ending at the last element.
This method performs a linear search; therefore, this method is an O(n) operation, where n is the number of elements from startIndex to the end of the ArrayList.
This method determines equality by calling Object.Equals.
Starting with the .NET Framework 2.0, this method uses the collection's objects' Equals and CompareTo methods on item to determine whether item exists. In the earlier versions of the .NET Framework, this determination was made by using the Equals and CompareTo methods of the item parameter on the objects in the collection.

At the time this article was written, the Miami Heat had an overall record of 43 wins and just 14 losses. They are 25-3 when playing at home thus far this season. Their wins have been recorded over the Boston Celtics, Denver Nuggets, Phoenix Suns, Brooklyn Nets, Atlanta Hawks, Houston Rockets, Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, San Antonio Spurs, New Orleans Hornets, Washington Wizards, Minnesota Timberwolves, Dallas Mavericks, Utah Jazz, Oklahoma City Thunder, Charlotte Bobcats, the Orlando Magic, Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, the Toronto Raptors, the Detroit Pistons, the Los Angeles Clippers, the Portland Trail Blazers, the Chicago Bulls, the Philadelphia 76ers, the Cleveland Cavaliers, the New York Knicks and the Memphis Grizzlies.

Currently the Miami Heat are on a 15 game win streak.
The Miami Heat will head into their game against the Orlando Magic as huge 16 point favorites according to the Las Vegas odds makers. This is largely due to the Magic's pathetic record. They currently hold an overall record of just 17 wins and 44 losses. They are also horrible when playing on the road with an away record of 8-21.
We are 99.9 percent sure that the Miami Heat will extend their win streak to 16 straight victories.

We stayed here for one night after reading the positive reviews on this and other sites.
After landing in Marrakech, we took a taxi (which by the way costs the same as the airport bus: 60dh) that dropped off at Djemaa el Fna and from there the riad is about a 10 minute walk. We had 4 pieces of luggage and it was possible to maneuver the way although you need to often make way for the countless motorcycles, bicycles, and scooters. To reach the riad, we walked straight down Rue des Banques and made a left turn onto the first main street (there are 2 restaurants at the beginning of that street).
The riad is nicely decorated with tasteful Moroccan furniture and many plants that brought a taste of nature away from the heavily polluted streets of Marrakech. It was also relatively quite inside the riad altough you are able to hear the motorcycles on the street.
We were greeted by I believe the owner, a nice French gentleman who spoke English. You need to fill out a short form that all the hotels and riads are required to gather and after you make your payment, you are free to go to your room. Our room was on the first floor and surprisingly was not noisy despite being close to the front door.
The room itself had a full sized bed, 2 chairs, and a coffee table. It was a decent size but a bit challenging to fit 4 pieces of luggage. The bathroom had an attractive mosaic sink and a lovely Moroccan style clay enclosed shower. There were no problems with getting enough water pressure or having hot enough water. The room was clean and the bed comfortable.
The included breakfast starts at 8:30am but the staff was able to prepare ours at 7:30am since we had a tour starting at 8am. The breakfast was pretty basic, with 2 kinds of breads, some spreads, coffee, and orange juice..nothing to compliment or complain about, it was enough to get the job done.
Overall, this is a good choice for the value, service, and location.

Every software-intensive system has an architecture: some architectures are intentional while others are accidental and some are explicit while others are locked up in the tribal memory of its developers. I've long contended that the soul of every architecture is manifest in the mechanisms that shape a given system. By mechanism I mean, in essence, the design patterns that individually provide some essential structure and behavior and that collectively offer a language of patterns that are uniquely suited to the given domain.
For example, I've been studying the architecture of various operating system kernels lately and it's clear that every one of them covers the same ground although each in a unique way. For the most part, if you understand a given operating sytem's approach to device drivers, the file system, thread and process management, networking, and primitive services, you will have understood the essence of that system's architecture. It should be pointed out, however, that which mechanisms apply is a statement of architecture in itself: other systems in other domains will have a very different set of mechanisms.[Read More]

Architectural Patterns
gbooch 120000P81R 3 Comments 1,010 Views
We still don't yet have a good understanding of the architectural patterns that are found across domains. Mary Shaw and David Garlan have conducted pioneering work on basic architectural patterns, Fowler has done the same for enterprise sytems, and Pont has done likewise for embedded systems. There are no industry studies that cut across the entire spectrum of software-intensive systems, and as such we just don't have the data from which to compare and contrast architectures and architectural patterns across domains. This is problematic: first, as development cultures become more entrenched within a particular domain, it becomes more and more difficult for an individual developer to cross domains; second, my experience is that there is only a modest number of unique architectures, and yet we as an industry tend to reinvent them in each domain because we have no good way to talk about them.
What might we name those distinct architectural patterns? The short answer is that I don't yet know enough to say; I have many more systems to study before I can feel confident in an answer. However, building on Mary and David's work and augmenting it with what my intuition tells me yields the following list:
I know that this list is wrong: among other things, it's a curious mixture of structural and behavioral patterns, and thus there's really not collectively a good separation of concerns It will be interesting to revisit this list next year to see how my understanding has changed.
I'd be interesting in hearing from anyone out there who might have other architectural patterns to suggest.[Read More]
Architectural Thinking
A review of Microsoft's Visual Studio 2005 lists the features its reviewer deems important for collaborative development, and notes that "The single biggest missing link in IT development today, platform aside, is the lack of proper architectural thinking in application development."
Needless to say, I agree. :-) However, one must be clear on what "architectural thinking" means. For me, it encompasses three things: design that is intentional, the presence of a process that grows a system's architecture through the delivery of executable artifacts, and a focus on design and architectural patterns. Architecture for architecture's sake is generally always the sign of a dysfunctional project, but architecture as a mechanism for governing the development process and for managing the evolution of a system once deployed is a good thing.[Read More]

Avoiding the Microsoft Tax
gbooch 120000P81R 16 Comments 1,554 Views
Today's news reports that Microsoft has set the release date for Longhorn in the second half of 2006, with a more modest collection of features relative to its initial announcement. I've yet to install Windows XP SP2 as I'm waiting for a few more pioneers to blaze the trail, letting them fall into the dark shadows first.
It may be the case, however, that I'll never bother installing SP2. I've decided to make the move to a Microsoft-free computing environment, having tired of the time I spend on the care and feeding of XP as compared to my relatively worry-free network of Linux appliances and Macs. My latest acquisition is a 17" Apple Powerbook powered by the IBM G4 processor which I'll use to replace my XP laptop and an older G4 tower. In addition to a breathtakingly beautiful form factor, this machine has every feature I need, from DVD-R to Airport and Bluetooth connections. More importantly, there's no essential application I need that doesn't run on this platform. In this manner, I'll avoid the Microsoft operating system tax, although I will break down and install the Microsoft Office suite (which actually is nicer on the Mac than it is on XP). Eclipse runs quite handily on the Mac already, thank you: I've been developing beans with it for over a year now.
Is it therefore curious for me, an IBMer, to be carrying around a non-IBM laptop? There's no doubt that IBM makes some wonderful personal computing devices (and I'm not quite to the point where I need a zSeries machine), but to paraphase James Carville, "it's the software, stupid." In short, hardware comes and goes - and I'm very happy that dedicated hardware engineers keep coming up with better machines - but software lingers forever. Indeed, pretty much the only way to get rid of old software is to kill it. I've had data and applications in my modest environment that have persisted for almost two decades, but during that time I've blown through a number of generations of machines, each faster and with more capacity than the previous. When Longhorn comes out in a few years, I might take another look, but in the meantime, I have some real work to do and would rather not be distracted by the whinings of a needy operating system that seems to come down with a cold every time I take it out into the world.[Read More]
Back from Japan
gbooch 120000P81R 646 Views
Just ahead of the latest typhoon I escaped from Japan, where I also survived a 5.7 earthquake as well as my keynote for the first IBM Rational Software Development Conference which drew around 1,500 attendees. I always enjoy my time in Tokyo: the city is quite electric (literally and figuratively), I can find the best uni, the Park Hyatt Tokyo is one of the classiest hotels in the world, and there are some very cool projects with which to work. Alas, at the moment, I'm attached to the web via a supremely inferior connection which makes it painful to even type, so I'll have to defer the juicy details until I find a fatter pipe.
I was asked a most interesting question by one of the Japanese press: do I see any differences in development styles around the world? Warning lights flashed in my head, telling me that this was a classic black hole and that crossing its Schwarzschild radius would permit me to offer a really stupid answer that in turn would shower me with hate mail and proffer a visit to the principal's office. Emboldened by terminal jet lag, I gave a politically correct response (i.e. one void of any identifiable useful information). In retrospect, however, I can make the following observations (which, I must add, are my own and not representative of any other person, living or dead, or of any large, multinational corporations whose intials are each one off that of HAL): moving from east to west, I find - very much on average - European developers to be more formal, US East coast developers to be more conservative, US West coast developers to be greater risk-takers, and Asian developers to be more methodical.
Please please PLEASE don't read too much into these broad generalizations, for the microclimate of each individual team is unique, and I mean nothing pejorative by any of these terms. In the end, software development has been, is, and will remain fundamentally hard, and each team has to face its own demons, wrestling them to the ground with all the best moves and practices and tools that they have at their disposal.[Read More]

My body returned from London a few days ago and happily my soul finally caught up with it over the weekend. As expected, I was faced with over 5,000 new email messages and 2.75 feet (from top to bottom) of snail mail. Email is such a broken medium.
In addition to catching up on the most urgent email over the weekend (and reminding my cats that I was still their servant), I took the time to finally upgrade the operating system on my home server (from the Mac OS Server 10.2 to 10.3.3). I run an Apple Xserve (although it's an Apple machine, remember that IBM makes the 58 million+ transistor processor at their Fishkill facility). Migration was fairly painless, except that my outgoing email was broken for a few hours until I tracked down one obscure setting that hadn't quite made the transfer. One great new feature is the ability to apply a dynamic real time black list to the SMTP pipe. Migrating my web site was a bit more problematic, as all my Java server pages were broken at first. With the help of a remote pair programmer, I tracked my problem down to a known issue in the latest Tomcat release which required me to fiddle with the packages in which my beans live. Testing the site revealed one other bug that affected my Wiki-like facility for in place editing; turns out that the root of my sites changed subtly in the transfer, and I had to adjust some classpaths. After about two hours of digging and testing and then 10 minutes of actually recoding (I had to change one line in one bean), my primary site popped up all fresh and shiny. Although this site is a modest venture, it does point out the reality that a lot of interesting systems are continuously evolving, meaning that you can never turn them off although they consist of (for systems of scale) hundreds of thousands of moving parts each of which may be changed nearly independently of the other.

Bad Architectures
After my invited talk at OOPSLA, a gentleman asked me if I intended to document failures as well as successes. I replied that my intent was to limit my study to successful systems, because I wanted my work to provide good examples - not antipatterns - of good architecture. In retrospect, I realize that my answer was quite inadequate.
As I state in my goals for the Handbook, I'm "codifying the architecture of a large collection of interesting software-intensive systems" where the operative word here is "interesting:" architecturally interesting, interesting to the marketplace, and interesting to me personally. An obvious question this raises is if there is a correlation between a successful system and a good architecture. It is true that all of the hyperproductive projects I've encountered tend to develop their systems by growing an architecture through the incremental and iterative release of executables. However, it is also true that the resulting architectures are never by any means perfect. Rather, they are always good enough and so full of the warts, nicks, blemishes, and discontinuities you'd expect to result from any pragmatic engineering activity. In fact, I've seen some beautiful architectures that were commercially a failure (building a better mousetrap does not necessarily mean the world will beat a path to your doorstep) and I've seen a number of overwhelming commercial successes whose architectures are nothing to write home about (but do note that those organizations usually suffer for it in the next generation of systems).
So, what distinguishes a "good" architecture from a "bad" one? I don't have enough hard data to say conclusively, but it is fair to say that good architectures are simpler, more understandable, more resilient to change, looser, more regular, and more full of patterns then ones that are bad. Now, if you read that last sentence carefully, you'll realize that some of the attributes I list are emergent (i.e. more resilient to change) while others are more fundamental (i.e. more regular and full of patterns). I know a good architecture when I see it; I know a bad one when I see it too. But I'm not at a point where I'm self-aware enough to tell you how I know the difference.[Read More]

Barbecue Joe
A dear colleague of mine, Joe Marasco (aka Barbecue Joe) wrote to advise me of another pithy observation on simplicity, this one from the classic Elements of Style:
"Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell."
Speaking of Joe, check out his book, The Software Development Edge: Essays on Managing Successful Projects. Joe is one of the most effective and successful project managers I've had the pleasure of working with, and this book is full of gems from his long career.[Read More]

A recent announcement by Dolby Laboratories of a new technology to address TV audio loudness issues has drawn fire from Tim Carroll, president of Linear Acoustic.
At the recent CES show in Las Vegas, Dolby announced that it had developed a way at the receiver level to noticeably level sound differences without problems associated with existing technologies. Called Dolby Volume, the process is embedded in a chip that Dolby hopes manufacturers will license and add to new TV sets.
Carroll, in a news release, called Dolby Volume "a step backwards" in delivering high-quality soundtracks as producers intended them to be heard.
"We have a well-accepted, standardized technique in place using Dolby Digital (AC-3), which, via its built-in metadata system, can solve a leading issue for consumers: inconsistent volume across channels and programs," Carroll said. "I am wary of claims that systems lacking metadata suddenly require the addition of an uncontrollable single-ended process that affects all audio, thereby fixing both annoyingly loud commercials and artistically loud scenes in programs.
He said it was impossible to control loudness in this way without, to some degree, affecting all programs. In addition, the fact that it relies on consumer intervention will have predictably variable results.
Carroll noted that through metadata and tools like its LM100, Dolby was making substantial progress dealing with sound level issues. "Effectively abandoning over a decade of hard work is a tragic mistake on Dolby's part. Put simply, if loudness is now controlled by the consumer's receiver, broadcasters and post houses will have less need to be concerned with metadata or purchase a level meter or processing system."
Another major problem with Dolby Loudness, Carroll added, is that not every TV set would contain the technology. "As a result, to protect consumers that do not possess Dolby Volume," he said, "loudness control will need to be done upstream. My best guess is that it will not make broadcasters and content producers work harder to author metadata, but exactly the reverse."
Carroll said his company, Linear Acoustic, would stick with the metadata approach and would unveil new products at NAB2007.

I ordered a asada quesadilla. Judging by the size of the tortilla, I thought it was going to be "well" served. But as the employee proceeded to make it, she really wasn't adding much cheese or meat. I had to ask her to add more meat since it was only one scoop of a small serving spoon. Even though she added this , it really didn't look appetizing . I got charged an extra 2.00 for a small scoop of meat. :/ bottom line is to me a quesadilla should me oozing with cheese, every bite should have something. Not just the middle. I will not be ordering this again.

Issued at 359 PM CDT WED JUL 1 2015 Tonight: Could be a very active evening as ingredients coming together for supercells. Airmass has been gradually recovering from eastern KS into far west central MO from this mornings convection. Warm front or the old outflow boundary has lifted northeast through the KC Metro area, which the operational models had depicted further south. This more northern displacement is allowing 3000-4000 J/kg of MLCAPE over east central/southeast KS to be advected into west central MO. Certainly plenty of shear with 45kt of 0-6km shear to support rotating updrafts. Of note is the decrease in the 0-1km shear down to 15kt. However, the 12z and 18z NAM ramped that up to 30kt by 03z and 06z over the far southwestern counties. Latest RUC has latched onto the more northern location of the front with convection initiating along the front over west central MO between 21z-23z which is in the range of what we had been anticipating. Should convection develop near the Missouri River as forecast the initial activity would likely be severe and include all severe elements. Storms should congeal into another complex of heavy rain producing storms and likely track through the current Flash Flood Watch. Thursday - Friday: The train of shortwaves embedded within the northwest flow will continue to provide a threat for convection, more so on Thursday. Satellite imagery showed the next upstream vorticity max dropping southeast from southern Alberta. Weak high pressure building in from WI into IA will help shield the eastern CWA from the majority of the convection. Below average temperatures expected due to the northeasterly boundary layer winds. 4th of July Weekend: Looking like we could get away with at least one dry day, Saturday more so than Sunday. The northwest flow will begin to flatten as an upper trough glides across southern Canada. A gradual warmup also expected. Monday - Wednesday: The unsettled and rainy pattern returns under a modified northwest flow regime with embedded shortwaves. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Thursday Night) Issued at 1244 AM CDT THU JUL 2 2015 Combination of VFR and MVFR conditions currently prevail across the terminals along the Kansas-Missouri state line is expect to persist through the next 24 hours with a steady east wind.

While Jason Bateman spends the morning dishing with MTV about the "bent and twisted" script that may one day become the Arrested Devlopment movie, his Arrested co-star Henry Winkler is on the road in the UK getting Brit-kids into books.
Winkler is in London promoting his Hank Zipzer series of books featuring a 10-year-old protagonist with dyslexia. His tour of London schools as a representative of the First News for Young Minds group kicked off at St. Matthews Church of England School in Westminster. UK Schools Secretary Ed Balls was on hand to help Winkler in promoting 2008 as the UK's National Year of Reading.
Winkler is quoted in the Epsom Guardian discussing his objective with the Zipzer stories: "Just because we learn differently, that does not mean that we are not incredibly smart human beings. That's something I need every child to understand."
The Hank Zipzer novels boast some great titles like I Got a 'D' in Salami!, The Curtain Went Up, My Pants Fell Down, and Barfing in the Backseat: How I Survived my Family Roadtrip. The latest (they're up to 14!) came out in May. It's called The Life of Me: Enter at Your own Risk and features Hank putting together a memoir-scrapbook while dealing with the ups and downs of a major crush. They're published by Penguin.
Winkler takes on the Independent's "5-minute Interview" here.

Here's a biggie: How do you get someone to pay for online news? A new study (PDF here) out of the University of Texas develops a theoretical model to begin answering that question.
The goal of the study, by Iris Chyi and Angela M. Lee, is to clarify the interrelationship among news preference, use, and intent to pay. What emerges, among other things, is a profile of the kind of people most likely to pay for online news: Young males who are — wait for it — interested in the news.
That last part is key, because while younger people are more likely to pay for news online, the study finds, they're also less likely to be interested in news in the first place.
Another paradox: People say they prefer reading print products, yet online use is growing. In other words, consumers don't always use what they prefer, and they're not always willing to spend money on what they use.
That's an idea that Chyi has been exploring since the 1990s. She sometimes refers to it as "ramen noodle theory," which we've written about before: People might prefer steak over ramen — but when it comes time to reach for their wallets, they opt for ramen more often. Because it's free and abundant, the "ramen" is perceived as inferior — which reinforces consumers' preference for "steak." This could help explain why Chyi found "very weak correlations" between use and intent to pay in her latest study. This is from its abstract:
While media scholars tend to take "media use" as an indicator of popularity or diffusion, media use alone does not fully capture the complexity of online news consumption. For instance, given free online news offerings in most cases, consumers do not always use what they prefer, and most are not willing to pay for what they use. This study identifies three distinct factors — preference, use, and paying intent — each helps explain a specific facet of online news consumption.
Given how many variables play a role in a consumer's decision to buy online news, the takeaway is a bit more complicated, and that's kind of the point: Fully understanding online news consumption is about more than just looking at how often people are going online. News organizations must also dig into what consumer's want, what they're willing to buy, then figure out how (and why) these factors overlap.
"The overall picture when we are looking at intention to pay for online news is that we have to consider as many as five predictors," Chyi told me. "I think that sort of explains why most newspapers have found it's so difficult to monetize their online content." From the study:
Specifically, age is a key factor influencing every aspect of online news consumption. Gender, in comparison, only affects paying intent. Paying intent for online news is influenced by five factors (age, gender, news interest, preference, and online news use), with age and news interest being the strongest predictors.
The study was presented Saturday at the International Symposium on Online Journalism. Chyi's study was based on an online survey of 767 adult respondents in August 2010. While that seems like a really long time ago in Internet years — the first iPad was only five months old — Chyi says her research is current enough to offer a useful picture of a longer-term shift she's tracked for more than a decade. Though print is declining by just about every metric, Chyi is convinced that there is an "over-optimistic bias toward online news." At the same time, she acknowledges it's "very late and very difficult to change the perception that the future is online or online-only."
It's not that she's anti-technology, she says: "I believe that new platforms will be really important for people to access news, but in terms of how to monetize it, I think it's getting more and more difficult," says Chyi, who also sees a conflation between print decline and online growth. "Very often we mix the two together and say, 'Because print is declining, the future must be online.' But I don't think that's the case."
Whatever the case may be, the theoretical model her study produced might offer the beginnings of a structural map for those who need to find a way to convince audiences that their news products are worth paying for.

Roberto Luongo: Conditions are right for a Maple Leafs-Canucks trade, and other hockey thoughts: Cox
Tonight's Maple Leafs game against the Winnipeg Jets has the feel of a pivotal one, Damien Cox writes.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
From Damien Cox's Spin on Sports blog:
DUNEDIN, FLA.—Some meandering hockey thoughts this morning while waiting for the rain to clear and Brett Lawrie to appear:
Burns, meanwhile, has played only six games this season because of a leg injury and has no points. There is some talk he could be back this week, possibly as early as tonight in St. Louis. But right now Coyle is starting to make this deal sing for the Wild.
Minny's 2011 first rounder, defenceman Jonas Brodin, is also making an increasingly significant contribution. In the Wild's two weekend victories, he played more than 23 minutes.
Understand, there's work that needs to be done on the young blueliner's defensive game, and at the Ricoh under Dallas Eakins is the place to do that work. Again, there needs to be a new culture in Toronto that it's not an insult to a player to be with the Marlies.
Tonight's Leaf game in Winnipeg just has the feel of a pivotal one. Beat the Jets there and the spread between the Leafs and ninth grows a little more. Lose to a Winnipeg club that struggles at home and the dog fight for the eighth and final playoff spot begins.
Yup, it's true. Drew Doughty still does not have a goal this season in 24 games. Guess the Norris votes won't be pouring in.
The Kings have recalled former Ottawa 67s sniper Tyler Toffoli after he registered 48 points and a plus-20 rating in 55 AHL games this season. Toffoli didn't play in Monday's win over the Flames.
Just thinking, however, that nobody's fooling anybody here anymore. Vancouver, falling in the Western Conference standings, needs help at positions more than they need a backup goalie with a $5.333 million cap hit. The Leafs, meanwhile, may like James Reimer, but he's not as good as Luongo and may never be.
The landscape seems ripe for a deal. Vancouver obviously has no other serious suitors. The Leafs are in a solid playoff position now but know that could slip away, and the goaltending was iffy last week.
Tyler Bozak seems to be the element that could work for Vancouver, although he's UFA in July. Otherwise, the Canucks know they're not getting a top pick or prospect for Luongo in any deal unless they include other elements. Would they move a player like Zack Kassian along with Luongo, if they could get a player like Jake Gardiner back along with Bozak?
Again, just spitballing here. That's NOT a trade rumour.
Luongo, meanwhile, comes with the dreadful contract, but let's be honest; he would solidify Toronto's goaltending for 3-5 years.
This is still a deal that makes a lot of sense if both teams behave sensibly and creatively. But the bad blood between these two organizations — Mike Gillis took Dave Nonis's job in Vancouver — makes working together very difficult.

Editor's note: NESN.com is going to tell the story of the 2012 Red Sox in Bobby Valentine's words. Each game day, we will select the best Valentine quote that sums up the day for the Red Sox. The Red Sox' season and playoff hopes are on life support. No one is disputing that at this point. The math is starting to indicate the ever-decreasing odds that Boston can make a run, but is there any reason for optimism, any reason for hope that the Sox can avoid missing the playoffs for the third consecutive season? Can the team avoid another...

Yuengling says its effort to buy Memphis brewery is stalled
A deal to sell the 1.3 million-square-foot Hardy Bottling Co. to brewer D.G. Yuengling & Son has apparently stalled, a Yuengling executive indicated.
"The deal does not break our company," chief operating officer Dave Casinelli said. "It's an opportunity. Hopefully things will come back on track."
Nothing, publicly at least, has happened in the two months since Yuengling announced it had signed a letter of intent to buy Hardy Bottling's mammoth plant in Memphis.
Executives for America's oldest brewer, based in Pennsylvania, say they want to brew Yuengling in Memphis. They've even revealed they're offering about $20 million for the Memphis operation.
But it takes two to deal, and Hardy Bottling has said nothing publicly since Yuengling said in October that it wants to buy the plant at 5151 E. Raines.
Hardy executives may not have been talking much to Yuengling, either.
"We're a willing buyer," Casinelli told The Commercial Appeal on Friday. "Right now, I guess there's not a 100 percent certainty there's a willing seller."
In mid-October, Casinelli said "serious discussions" were taking place between the two businesses.
However, on Friday he said, "I think there's communication. When capital's involved it takes forever, going back and forth."
Hardy Bottling president and part-owner Carolyn Hardy has not returned reporters' telephone calls.
A reporter went Tuesday morning to the bottling plant, asking to speak to Hardy. A receptionist stepped inside the offices and returned saying Hardy was in a meeting.
A few minutes later, a Hardy vice president called the reporter asking the nature of the inquiry. She said she would relay the message to Hardy and would call The Commercial Appeal back.
The plant was built in 1971 by Joseph Schlitz Brewing Co. and purchased in 1990 by Molson Coors. After that company announced in 2005 that it would close the operation, Hardy and a silent partner bought it.
Instead of brewing beer, Hardy Bottling does contract packaging for nonalcoholic drinks.
"The brewery sits there unused," Hardy told the Memphis and Shelby County Industrial Development Board in October. "And that's the most valuable part of the asset."
Hardy Bottling benefits from a tax break saving it $4.5 million over eight years in return for committing to hiring 255 people, paying them $28,000 on average, and investing $13.4 million in the plant.
But as of October, when Hardy appeared before an IDB committee seeking more time, her company had hired only 115 employees. Based on that size work force, the length of the tax break could be reduced to six years.
"I'm still hopeful," Casinelli said. "We've been around 182 years. We're not going anywhere. We think this is a nice opportunity. If this is meant to happen, we look forward to it."
Some parts of the nonalcoholic-beverage business are growing and some are not, said John Sicher, editor and publisher of Beverage Digest.
For the past few years, carbonated soft-drink sales declined slightly, but demand for energy drinks, ready-to-drink tea, "enhanced" water, and sports drinks is rising this year, he said.
Private-label bottled water also is growing very strongly, Sicher said.

I just moved here in Feb. What I need most right now is someone/s to show me some highlights. I'm a fan of holes in the wall, places off the beaten path, the places locals go. Let's drink a local craft beer, shoot some pics somewhere, or smoke a hookah and tell me about what you love here in Austin. I'M LOOKING FOR FRIENDS ONLY AT THIS TIME.
I am an artsy, bi, pagan, geeky. I devour books. Some things I highly value are : friends, honor, knowledge, nature, and open-mindedness. My cats are my kids, and that is the way it will remain for me. I however have children in my life I adore, and if you have kids I will probably adore them too!
Two very important things about me: 1. I tend to be blunt. What you see is what you get ... no candy coating. 2. I'm not your ordinary girl. I am not girly or froofy. I can change my own oil (and have, thank you). I ride a motorcycle. I like to sit in trees (and hope to live in a treehouse some day). I can think of something to do with about anything you might throw away (I am damn near obsessed with making stuff out of things others consider trash). Gadgets and shiny things excite me (My Leatherman Micra is one of my most prized possessions). I used to own a 35 foot school bus that had been converted, and I used to live in it. I am a nomad at heart, but value someplace and someone to come home to immensely.
I'm also a down to Earth, farm girl, treehugger, artistic, biker, quirky, easy going, fun BBW. Another animal lover preferred, (I have a cat) I Love : old cars, motorcycles, flea markets, thrift stores, crafting, camping, hiking, canoeing, reading, ren faires, coffee, music, long conversations, 420, a huge beer geek/novice home brewer, and a total hookah freak.
I am Quirky, Adventurous, and Bohemian

Corporate Event - Michaelmas Feast
"I thought I simply must write to say how much we appreciated the care you and your staff devoted to the Merchant Adventurers' Company's Michaelmas Feast last Friday and to complement you on the production of such an excellent and enjoyable meal. I think we were aware that mass catering of a menu that includes goose is always something of a risk and a challenge but we were delighted both with the goose itself and the balance you managed to achieve for the whole through a simple but stylish starter and that quite delicious autumn pudding, just the thing to complement the goose and quite the traditional thing, I now find, to serve at a Michaelmas goose feast. Our members and their guests seemed to have found the evening as enjoyable as I and my wife did and, as they did during the course of the speeches, would want I am sure to thank Poppy Catering very warmly."
