I had a great time at JavaOne this year and Red Hat had a fantastic showing, with many sessions at the event, many more booth sessions (which were packed out as usual) and of course I made a brief appearance during the kickoff keynote. There had been a lot of interest in this event due to some recent events and rumours about what Oracle would or wouldn't say, specifically about the future of Java EE. This was even a topic of conversation during the JCP EC face-to-face meeting preceding JavaOne. But nothing much really happened and life, it seemed, would go on as usual. However, there was still a lot of discussion during several sessions and through the usual chatter on the floors or parties about the relevancy of Java EE these days.

But let's face it, this isn't a question that is only being asked in 2015; I've been involved in enterprise Java since before it was called J2EE and within a few years of bring created people were asking the same question. As I've mentioned many times over the past few years, people have asked the question when Web Services came along, then REST, PaaS/Cloud, mobile and now IoT. Each time the concept of middleware has evolved and Java EE, and its associated implementations, with it. People get hung up on the concept of Java EE and application servers as bloated, monolithic entities without actually looking at the reality of today's implementations (well, at least one). However, I'm not here to repeat what I've said time and time again (remember this from 2011?), most recently at HPTS 2015. Approaches such as WildFly Swarm and the massive interest it has seen, show that there's still a lot of interest. And I've already suggested how Java EE can fit into the next generation platforms.

Rather than revisit this question, which I think I've answered sufficiently, I wanted to link to Ian's entry on the JavaOne session he did, which I attended. It's always good to hear from someone else on the topic, though I'm sure some will argue he's not objective about this and neither am I. If you're still not convinced, think of the core capabilities within any Java EE application server, such as transactions, messaging, security, cacheing etc; services/capabilities that are needed way beyond Java and Java EE, pre-dating Java by decades and used together or independently in many applications. You can consider Java EE as a way of packaging these things together into a convenient bundle, where they are guaranteed to work well together or independently, and in most cases you probably don't even know they're there. Over the years, before Java was created and way beyond when it is just a mention in history books, that packaging will change but you'll still have something recognisable within middleware implementations, perhaps not co-locating services, perhaps not all implemented in the same language etc. And your future applications will probably not be able to tell the difference or know they're there ... again.

So whilst I think the original question is an important one to ask, I think a much better question is "Where should I use the core capabilities within Java EE?" And if you've got a suitably flexible and agile application server implementation, your application won't need to care that Java EE is, or is not, under the covers providing the desired dependability and reliability.

I've written before about the way I think the next generation platform will evolve. Here I want to take a moment to suggest how this might be approached in the future within Red Hat middleware, using JBoss, Fuse and other technologies including Vert.x. I suppose if I were working for any other company than Red Hat I might have to say that there are some disclaimers about my opinions being my own etc. However, whilst they certainly are to a degree, because we're doing this in open source you can see what we're doing and even get involved yourself!

Of course microservices are the future. Ok, maybe there was a hint of sarcasm in that last sentences! Microservices have a role to play, just as SOA does (yes, I still believe the two are closely tied). There is some truth in there though: more streamlined, agile and dedicated services will be the basis of future application development, whether using (immutable) containers such as Docker or just the standard JVM, perhaps with fatjars. However, anyone who believes that the future of software (middleware) will appear instantaneously has obviously not looked back at other transitions, such as bespoke-to-CORBA or CORBA-to-J2EE. These things take time and evolution rather than revolution is the natural approach. Even if you've not been involved in middleware there are similar examples elsewhere in our industry: COBOL really is still in deployment today! Look at the interest we have around Blacktie!

Therefore, the future will evolve. Yes people will want to develop new applications (so called greenfield sites) using the latest and greatest framework or stack. But they'll also want to integrate with existing business logic and services written in a variety of present day technologies. So there'll still be Java EE application servers (e.g., EAP) with business logic within them, some of it legacy, some written from scratch today and into the future, despite what some may believe.

I believe that due to the fact Java EE has been the dominant non-Microsoft development and deployment platform for well over a decade, there are so many developers out there who are comfortable with it. Yes some may complain about the apparent bloat of implementations, but the reality is that it's still very easy to develop against and use from a variety of different programming languages. That's why the evolution towards any new paradigm is going to be heavily influenced by it, if not driven directly by those developers. So yes, I believe that microservices and Java EE go hand in hand for a large percentage of developers. Approaches such as WildFly-Swarm offer precisely what I'm describing: a comfortable entry point for developers and even existing applications, yet the power to move to a more flexible DevOps driven paradigm. WildFly, when used correctly, offers a mature and easy to use platform that has a minimal footprint and faster boot times than the most popular web servers around! And don't forget that Swarm builds on WildFly so we immediately get the maturity of implementations(s) from it.

However, this mad rush towards microservices, trimming of application servers, creation of applications from fatjars etc. needs to be approached with caution. Our industry is renowned for offering panaceas to problems that require throwing away all we've done before and relearning all of those hard earned lesson! We've got to break that cycle and in Red Hat we've got the pieces to do so: with so many open source projects out there purporting to be right for enterprise applications and new ones springing into life almost on a daily basis, it's easy to understand why people believe every new project is good enough for their requirements. Although I believe open source is a superior development methodology, it takes time and effort to build enterprise-ready components such as transaction servers, messaging brokers, etc. They don't just spring into life ready formed and fully capable. "Good enough" is rarely sufficient for enterprises. It's the edge cases like management, reliability, recoverability, scalability and bullet proof security that are hard to do and get right, yet it's precisely those edge cases that matter time and again. Through core development or acquisition, we've built up a stack that is mature and capable. Whether deployed as a stack or individual pieces, it's what we should be building the next generation of middleware solutions upon. A strong base exists today and we need to reuse as much of that as possible rather than rewrite from scratch in some new popular programming language.

Now as I hinted above, maybe we don't package our future stack or platform in quite the same way as we do today. Microservices offers an approach that is in line with the kinds of trimming we've been seeing anyway. Bundling individual components from the application server as easily deployed (container based) services that can then be exposed to other programming languages, frameworks, solutions etc. is definitely part of the overall solution space. Those core services, such as transactions or storage, could be deployed as individual services or, as is more typical with something like Swarm, deployed with the business logic that uses them. I keep coming back to the JBossEverywhere initiative we had a few years ago - ahead of its time!

Ok so we've looked to microservices and how Java EE fits in. But that can't be the entire answer - and it isn't. As I've mentioned before, at least for a very important set of applications and use cases the future is reactive and event driven. Now that could mean Node.js but just as likely in the Java world it probably means Vert.x. Note, given that many of the Java EE APIs aren't reactive or asynchronous in nature then we'll need to evolve them if we wish to tie them in to Vert.x and I do think we need to do that. Whilst some people will want to develop their applications and microservices in Vert.x from scratch, others will want to tie in legacy systems or have access to some of the core services I mention earlier. I see Vert.x as the ideal backbone or glue that brings all of these things together. The mature core services that we've got are precisely the sorts of things that enterprise developers will need for their applications as they grow in complexity - and let's face it, eventually many applications are going to need security, transactions, high performance messaging etc.

In the Java world the unit of containerisation is essentially the JVM. However, most Java developers realise that unless you ship a farjar, which contains everything you need to run your application/service, it's often typical to find that changes in third-party jars downloaded at deployment time can result in the application or service failing to run first time. This is where operating system containers, such as Docker, really come into their own. The ability to create a deployment unit which runs first time and every time is crucial! Container orchestration technologies, such as Kubernetes, are likewise important if you want to deploy services (via Containers) which are highly available, load balanced etc. Therefore, hopefully it's not too difficult to see where Containers will fit into the future architecture - not mandatory by any means, but definitely a piece of the puzzle which should be considered from the outset.

The combination of OpenShift for Container deployment and management, with Fabric8 for developer experience with CI and CD, provides a compelling hybrid cloud environment, especially once you consider all of the JBoss/Fuse middleware integrated, i.e., xPaaS. As I've mentioned before though, xPaaS isn't about simply adding the middleware products to OpenShift; we're also going to make them much more cloud-aware/cloud-enabled. This has a number of implications, but the one I want to mention specifically is that the core capabilities will be made available to developers in a more cloud-natural manner, e.g., users who want reliable messaging won't need to understand the various intricacies of JMS to use A-MQ and in fact won't even have to know A-MQ is working under the covers. And yes, for those of you still paying attention, those core capabilities I mentioned are precisely the same core services we covered earlier on. See the connection?

Up to this point we've really been playing in the traditional enterprise deployment arena: clients, middle tiers and servers. The cloud comes into play here at the back tier (servers), but what about mobile, IoT and ubiquitous computing? I've discussed this a few times before so won't repeat much here except that I think everything we've discussed so far has immediate applicability for ubiquitous computing and that mobile, as well as IoT, are just limited aspects of it. In fact as I showed separately, if the cloud is to scale, mobile/IoT needs to take on a more fat-client approach - anyone remember what I wrote about Shannon's Limit over 4 years ago? Mobile, which really means developing applications for phones that tend to rely upon backend services, is a specific implementation of IoT, which really means developing applications for a range of devices that tend to rely upon backend services (ok, with some gateway technologies in there for good measure.) See what I mean?

If you follow that assertion that everything we need to do going forward is some aspect of ubiquitous computing, then it follows from what we discussed earlier that the new stack approach of core services, Containers, management etc. all come into play and across a variety of different languages and frameworks. Whether you're developing enterprise applications for mobile devices, clouds, involving sensors, or traditional mainframes, you need a stack that is mature, rich, scalable, reliable, trustworthy and open. The Red Hat stack, which has evolved over the last decade and is continuing to evolve, is the only one that matches all of the requirements!

Below is a hand-drawn outline of where I see these things going. Apologies that it's not a nice block diagram and for my handwriting

I'm just back from TechExchange 2015 which was held in Ho Chi Min City, Vietnam. I could wax lyrically about how much I enjoyed the conference (I gave a keynote and co-presented a session on WildFly-Swarm), the sessions and the people but I'm not going to - it was a Red Hat conference so of course I'm going to enjoy it and it's going to be great! No, this entry is about Vietnam. I loved it. The city, the people, the food, the culture were all so far beyond what I had expected it's really hard for me to put into words. Yes the roads were crazy with mopeds (on pavements), cars going in all directions down one way streets, people walking down the middle of roads, and even more stuff that surprised the $*£# out of me (last time I had that much adrenaline flowing through my system was on a rollercoaster!) but it was fascinating and fun at the same time!

I loved the vibrancy of the city. Despite it being so old it felt new. The buzz was great and the weather was ... Hot and humid with a bit of monsoon rain. Despite the fact I was there for only 5 days it felt longer and yet at the same time not long enough. I loved it. If I get the opportunity I will definitely go back!

Only a few years after the rise of public Cloud (essentially after a certain online bookshop offered its services to the public) I recall a number of people talking about how open source would no longer matter. The argument, which from 39000 feet made some sense, went something like this: people use open source because closed source equivalents are too expensive, often too difficult to use and generally just a way of accomplishing something "good enough" in a cheaper way. Because cloud offered capabilities, such as web server, messaging, storage etc. to developers on a pay-as-you-go basis, what did it matter if under the covers the implementations were based on closed source or open source? Therefore, people wouldn't approach developing solutions in the cloud by even considering the provenance of the underlying components.

Now of course even at that time you could argue that the argument didn't hold water at all levels. Specifically the operating system back then was predominately Linux based, which last time I checked was most definitely open source. In the intervening years we've seen Microsoft enter the space and whilst Linux is no longer the only operating system available in the clouds it's definitely still the dominant one. But that's not the only thing to change which drives a tank-sized hole in the original position. Today in all public or private clouds you don't have to look hard to find open source making it a reality. Whether it's OpenStack as the infrastructure, databases such as MySQL or MongoDB providing persistence, A-MQ or RabbitMQ for messaging, EAP/WildFly or GlassFish or Tomcat hosting some of the business logic, open source is integral to the success of public, private and hybrid cloud. Obviously there's a chance a developer may not know or even care that open source is responsible for the success of their application or business, but that doesn't negate the fact that cloud is successful today primarily because of open source.

There's also one important aspect that the original argument failed to take into account: users of open source are just one part of the overall value proposition; contributors/developers of open source are just as important. When you look at all of the examples of open source used in cloud I mentioned above, or go further and look at all of the others, you'll see that as well a individuals helping to develop these critical software pieces you've got pretty much all of the significant software vendors of our age as well as many of the most significant software users (verticals such as finance and healthcare, not to mention NASA).

Not exactly related to cloud, but when you get a company such as Microsoft making such an about turn on open source as they've done in the past year or so then it's probably a good bet that open source isn't dropping down the list of priorities for developers or companies. Therefore, to paraphrase and misquote Mark Twain, I think it's safe to say that reports of its death have been greatly exaggerated.

So I mentioned in a separate entry that I have problems with the term "web-scale". I get what the comment author is saying in that entry and I agree with several of the sentiments that are made but it did raise a few interesting thoughts in my head. Some of them I thought I'd addressed over the years but perhaps it is time to revisit. Or simply reference again in case your favourite search engine isn't working.

I've definitely addressed the issue of monolithic application servers in the past, whether through articles like this one or presentations. Monolithic application servers do exist, but there are application servers (Java and Java EE based) that simply don't match those characteristics. Whilst an application server may not be right for your use cases it's far better to rule it out based upon objective analysis than some (almost) subjective definition. I said a few months back that containers aren't all bad! Even as early as last year there were some good discussions about monoliths, microservices and balls of mud that would be well worth spending a few minutes reading and thinking about, because a knee-jerk reaction to a so-called monolithic architecture isn't necessarily going to give you the benefits you're after.

It's also interesting to think that the move we're seeing in the industry towards separate services is very much in line with what we had back in the CORBA days (something I've repeated a few times.) No, I'm not suggesting CORBA got it all right! Something else that was very much at the heart of CORBA was asynchronous invocations. This wasn't just something that was an add-on/bolt-on to synchronous APIs. Now in the transition from CORBA to Java EE we lost some of this work in favour of the more traditional (synchronous) RPC approach. If you've done your homework (or were around back then) you'll understand why RPC was (and still is) used so much in distributed systems: most of the languages we use(d) are procedural and it's natural to want to extend that paradigm to distributed programming and make remote invocations opaque. Now of course there are well know issues with this approach but that's not really the subject of this article.

The point I'm trying to make is that asynchronous programming isn't the domain of new languages and frameworks. Whilst I do agree that many of the APIs we have grown used to today are synchronous in nature and retro-fitting asynchronous approaches on top would be hard or impossible, it's worth remembering that there's often a good separation between interface and implementation in many mature implementations. For instance, some component implementations within various application servers date back to the CORBA days (or even further), and may have even been designed with asynchronous in mind. So whilst the APIs of some Java EE components may not easily be used asynchronously it's worth remembering that there is a large body of research and development which will help that rapidly evolving front of our industry build on much of what is there today, assuming of course that some implementations aren't there already. As I've said many times before, I hate reinventing the wheel.

An interesting comment to an entry I made the other day got me thinking about "web-scale". It's a term I may have used. I know others have too. Yet WTF does it really mean?

OK it's Saturday night (my time) and I've spent the last week travelling across the Atlantic for meetings so have had a bit of time to think on a few things. One of them is how reactive platforms and microservices fit together. I took the time to write down some of what I've been thinking. I think frameworks such as Vert.x and Node.js have a lot to offer microservices and other use cases, but as Robert Frost once said we still have "miles to go before I sleep". That is good because it means there's a lot of exciting research and development still to be done, building on the work of others such as Fischer, Lynch and Paterson.

I've had a few conversations with different people recently on the subject of microservices and (distributed) transactions. One of my biggest worries about microservices in general is that we end up repeating the same conversations and disagreements that we had with SOA, REST and other related technologies. And one of the longest running debates we had during those specific waves was around transactions and their applicability, or not. I continue to believe that transactions are useful for some SOA-based services, though that doesn't mean they have to be atomic transactions. Therefore, I feel that they also have a role to play for microservices and took the opportunity to write down some of my thoughts on the topic.

In one of my previous entries I may have inadvertently given the impression that in order to do microservices you need Linux containers, such as Docker. I want to clarify that so have written a new article which hopefully clarifies where those containers matter, especially in the Java world where we already have a container in the form of the JVM.

After writing my previous entry of how a container image, such as Docker, makes a natural unit of failure for an individual microservice or groups of related services, I wanted to follow up on one of the things I didn't get into detail on: state. Where does the state of the microservice reside? Is it within the container image, which may seem intuitively correct, or is it outside of the image? I've been thinking about state and replication for many years (well over 20) and was revisiting one of my earlier papers recently and got to thinking that it was relevant to microservices, or at least containers (since of course a container doesn't need to be tied to only being useful for microservices!) With that in mind, I found a few hours today to write up some thoughts on state and containers in general, but specifically microservices, Hopefully it makes some sense.

Another mini-vacation so another few hours to sit and write down some things that have been rumbling around in my head for a while. This time it's about Docker (container) images, microservices and how they can be combined to provide a natural unit of failure when building multi-service applications or composite services. Check it out on my personal blog, but hopefully the conclusion should be obvious:

"If you are building multiple microservices, or using them from other groups and organisations, within your applications or composite service(s), then do some thinking about how they are related and if they should fail as a unit then pull them together into a single image."

It's a Saturday evening and I've finally had time to put down further thoughts on container-less development. OK, ignore the fact that I'm at home on a Saturday night instead of out "on the town" - but work is still my hobby (or is it vice versa?) and I'm enjoying it!

I've finally made time to write down some of my thoughts on microservices and how they should relate to SOA and other approaches which have gone before. I've cross-linked the article here for those who may be interested. As I mentioned in the InfoQ interview, I think some of the recent advances in development tools, such as docker-based containers, should make service development easier. However, if we'd had them 10 years ago they'd have fallen under the banner of SOA and I don't think we'd have coined a new term to describe a specific implementation. Whether it's SOA, microservices or some other term, I do think that in the last year or so there have been some interesting developments around frameworks, languages, containers etc. that do make a difference for distributed service-based applications. We just need to join them together with all of the good things we did over the past decade or so and called SOA.

I've been thinking about approaches to container-less development and deployment for a while. However, it was whilst I was at DevConf.cz the other day that I decided to write down some of my thoughts. Well that and the interview I did with Markus for my keynote at JavaLand in a few weeks. I wanted to write something that was objective though and without pushing a particular implementation agenda - often hard given what I do as my day job. However, that's the reason I wrote it over on my personal blog and am cross-linking it here. Obviously I do think that the work we've been doing with AS7/WildFly/EAP is one of the main catalysts for improving the whole dev-to-deploy experience when people work with a Java EE container, with projects such as Forge and Arquillian as critical pieces in that puzzle. There's more to be done and I'm excited about some of the improvements the teams have planned. And I also think that new approaches such as Vert.x offer a view of where things are going and can still benefit from experiences and components elsewhere.

As the saying goes ... a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ... Red Hat was created around Linux and did a great job of working with communities and customers to provide the best enterprise-grade Linux platform around and to this day. However, over the years Red Hat's aspirations and reach have grown to include virtualisation, storage, cloud, middleware and mobile, to name but five new pieces. Whilst the operating system is critical for running applications or services and Linux has all the hooks you'd need to build a huge range of them, they're mostly too low level for many developers. Hence the need for these advanced capabilities so you don't have to do that - someone else has done that hard work for you. Additionally, at least where enterprise software is concerned, those companies and groups will have ironed out many of the bugs and security flaws. Following on from this logic, whilst we've implemented a number of critical technologies "in house", Red Hat has also acquired them - why build when we can buy? JBoss, FeedHenry, eNovance, Makara, Inktank ... We've done a pretty good job of bringing in key software components and adding them to our evolving stack.

I can't think of another pure open source company that has such a deep and broad stack as Red Hat. And this is important for the evolving world we live in today. Whether it's running critical back-end services on RHEL, Java and Java EE with EAP, integration via Fuse, both on or off OpenShift, or even addressing Internet of Things with something like MQTT (A-MQ) and Vert.x, we've got so many of the software tools that a huge range of developers need these days. And these aren't disparate capabilities that don't know about each other - we're continually working hard to make everything we do work well together. In essence, the Red Hat Platform is all of our deep, broad stack integrated and operating together. Of course pieces of this Platform can be used independently of each other, but that's just another compelling reason for developers to consider using it - you're not locked into having to use all or nothing.

Fishman Artist // Harvey ReidSongwriter and multi-instrumentalist Harvey Reid has honed his craft over the last 35 years in countless clubs, festivals, streetcorners, cafes, schools and concert halls across the nation. He has been called a "giant of the steel strings" and "one of the true treaures of American acoustic music." He has absorbed a vast repertoire of American contemporary and roots music and woven it into his own colorful, personal and distinctive style. His 22 recordings on Woodpecker Records showcase his mastery of many instruments and styles of acoustic music, from hip folk to slashing slide guitar blues to bluegrass, old-time, Celtic, ragtime, and even classical.
Reid's skills and versatility on the guitar alone mark him as an important new voice in acoustic music. He won the 1981 National Fingerpicking Guitar Competition and the 1982 International Autoharp competition. Yet he's also a veteran musician with a long list of studio and band credits, a strong flatpicker who has won the Beanblossom bluegrass guitar contest, a versatile and engaging singer, a powerful lyricist, prolific composer, arranger and songwriter, a solid mandolin and bouzouki player, and a seasoned performer and captivating entertainer. And he plays the 6-string banjo and the autoharp like you've never heard.
Reid started playing guitar in his early teens in Maryland, and fell in with the now-legendary DC-area bluegrass scene. After street-fiddling and playing old-time and bluegrass music for close to 8 years, he moved into his van in the late 1970's and began pursuing solo acoustic songs & instrumental music, primarily fingerstyle acoustic guitar and autoharp. After stints in a bluegrass band in Colorado, playing Telecaster in a country band in Virginia, and a winter in Nashville, Reid migrated to Northern New England, playing 5 nights a week on the "blue-collar" folk circuit in Maine and New Hampshire, while developing his own personal blend of American acoustic music.
Although Reid has been somewhat reclusive, his reputation as a musician's musician is spreading fast. Even though he is not associated with any record labels or hype machinery, his music is having an impact--he was included on the 1995 Rhino Records Acoustic Music of the 90's CD, and his Steel Drivin' Man CD was voted in 1996 by Acoustic Guitar Magazine as one of the 10 Essential Folk CD's of all time, in company with Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez and other hallowed names. His music appeared on the blockbuster BBC television series Billy Connolly's World Tour of Scotland. He has become a featured act at many of America's premier concert clubs and festivals, including Merlefest, the Telluride Bluegrass Festival and the Walnut Valley Festival. Radio DJ's and critics nationwide are discovering his remarkable recordings, and audiences coast-to-coast are flocking to catch his exciting and uplifting concerts.
Reid has also made his mark on the acoustic music world in other ways. He is responsible for most of what is known about the partial capo, developed all of the popular partial-capo configurations in use today, (including the Esus) was the first to record and publish music for partial capo. In 1980 he co-founded the Third Hand Capo Co. Also in 1980 he wrote the first college textbook for folk guitar, titled Modern Folk Guitar, it was published by Random House and is still in print and available from Woodpecker Records. Harvey was the person who convinced Fishman Transducers to develop the Acoustic Blender amplification system, worked on the design team, and even wrote the instructions for it. He may have been the first acoustic independent musician to make a CD, and certainly was among the first to make DAT recordings, and helped usher in the new era of direct-to-digital recordings with a series of articles he wrote for acoustic music magazines. He was also the first artist to endorse Taylor Guitars, and began doing promotion for them in 1983. Reid's success "under the radar" has become a role model for a large number of young, independent musicians who want to pursue their careers outside the music industry.
Reid prides himself on his independence, and sees himself as a modern embodiment of the ancient minstrels. You'll find elements of the traditional troubadour, the modern poet-songwriter, the American back-porch picker, the classical virtuoso, and even a good bit of Will Rogers style dry humor and satire. You'll hear folk, country, classical, blues, ragtime, rockabilly, Celtic, bluegrass, and popular music influences. Although Reid has a vast repertoire of traditional and contemporary songs, his concert material consists mostly of his own compositions and traditional music.
Don't miss a chance to hear the Master Minstrel in concert or to hear his amazing recordings. He how has two young children, and is not traveling very much these days.

Can we make a difference in the lives of impoverished AIDS orphans on the other side of the globe? Davis residents can shout a resounding "yes" by participating in the Sahaya Walks event on Sunday.
For the past six years, the walks have given participants of all ages, from children to retirees, the opportunity to address problems in the world caused by AIDS. Nearly $50,000 has been raised.
"We have sent 100 percent of these proceeds to provide for 22 HIV-infected children in Sahaya's programs in India," says Koen Van Rompay, founder of the Davis-based Sahaya International. The funds are "giving the children access to the basic needs of life, including access to life-saving HIV medicines and proper nutritional supplements to keep their health strong.
"Thanks to our annual walks, we have not lost a single child due to AIDS for six years. This is truly something to celebrate," he adds
The event will run from 2 to 4 p.m. at First Baptist Church, 38141 Russell Blvd. in West Davis. Organized by Sahaya International in partnership with many faith-based organizations and student clubs, the event features an opening ceremony with Sandy Holman of the Culture Co-op as the emcee and an easy half-mile walk followed by fun educational activities and games for all ages, music, lemonade and snacks.
Van Rompay says that although the problems seem overwhelming, AIDS is a treatable disease that can be challenged by education and caring.
"There is no doubt whatsoever that, together, we can make an incredible difference and continue to provide a future to these 22 children, and any additional HIV-infected children who may be diagnosed in their rural area," Van Rompay adds.

Obama Campaign Staffer Dies After Collapsing at Headquarters
A 29-year-old staffer working for President Barack Obama's re-election died today after collapsing at the campaign's Chicago headquarters, according to a campaign official.
Alex Okrent had worked for Obama since 2004, according to the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity. During a campaign tour through Virginia today, Obama called Okrent's family and later consoled other campaign staffers on a conference call, the official said.
The Chicago Sun-Times earlier reported that Okrent had collapsed at the campaign's headquarters and was taken to Northwestern Memorial Hospital. He was pronounced dead at the hospital, the paper said.
Okrent is a native of Evanston, Illinois, and graduated from Wesleyan University in Connecticut, the newspaper said.

Please excuse my complete lack of interest as I introduce you to a second trailer for Sony's RoboCop remake starring Joel Kinnaman and directed by Jose Padilha (Elite Squad). It would appear, based on just skimming through this trailer, this time around RoboCop will have to take on a whole army of other RoboCops in an empty warehouse. Or are they just plain robots? Oh man, a half-human, half-robot police officer fighting a bunch of robots? This is going to be the most epic of all non-threatening battles ever!
Set in 2028, like the original film, RoboCop finds its protagonist in Alex Murphy (Kinnaman) who is critically injured in the line of duty, and advanced robotics are used to save his life, turning him into a half-human, half-robot police officer. Along with Kinnaman, the film co-stars Gary Oldman, Samuel L. Jackson, Abbie Cornish, Marianne Jean-Baptiste, Jennifer Ehle, Jackie Earle Haley, Michael Kenneth Williams and Michael Keaton.
RoboCop hits theaters February 12, check out the new trailer and poster below.

My article was deliberately forceful; indeed, some people even found it violent and complained that I was only a child when others were fighting in the Resistance, and so what right had I, etc . Still, weak wills had to be made firm. Otherwise there would be just one result: More criminals would go unpunished or, even worse, be rehabilitated.
Then a wonderful opportunity arose for taking action in Germany: For a whole week the Munich courts were in the limelight because a hold-up had taken place in which the police, on instructions from Prosecutor Schreiber, had opened fire, and a bank clerk had been killed. Germany was horrified. So all that was necessary for us to get some publicity was for a group of us to go to Munich armed with our data, and submit it to the court. Either the Munich judges would be so afraid of an additional scandal that the decision would be revoked, or at least the reporters there would let Germans know the facts about the Barbie case and the stand the French were taking.
Unfortunately, however, the Resistance veterans in Paris whom I talked to slipped away. They belonged to radical associations that were angered by my article, in which I had quoted Deputy Virgile Barel, who was a communist, although I did not know it at the time. Still, I had only talked sense and action. Until I spoke up, not a single German was familiar with the various speeches and appeals Barel had made in the National Assembly. It was not enough for him to demand action from his own government; it would have been just as easy for him to take some action himself. My point was that there had to be unanimous action. Barbie's victims, whether rightists or leftists, Jews, capitalists, or communists, were all up against the Gestapo. It was only fitting that the Gestapo should now be up against all of them.
The leaders of the Nazi police system had not wavered in their repression of the Resistance and of the Jews. Their deceit had helped them overcome many obstacles, for they were fiendishly inventive in the operation of their death machine. Their iron determination and their unremitting efforts were deadly, as the deaths and the misery they caused can testify. What is more, almost all have survived unpunished and full of scorn for their critics, for they have not even bothered to conceal themselves.
How could we fight such an enemy? By making statements that no one would read? By arousing public opinion that would merely expose an unpunished criminal, as in the case of Lammer [ ding]

Reviews of Assoc. Prof Richard H West
I just had a small procedure done with them and it was a good experience. I was scheduled to have my procedure just one week after seeing Professor West. He did not explain much but surgeons normally dont explain that much especially if you are having a diagnostic procedure which then explains more I guess. Everything went well so far and I recommend them highly I know many places where waiting times are longer as well as the quality of care.
truegirl00 1 reviewThis practise is bad! I paid $190. Had a planned/booked surgery, then I called exactly 1 week before surgery to ask a question about the procedure and was informed that my operation had been cancelled as a more urgent breast cancer patient had come up. I understand that my operation is not as critical as breast cancer but the fact that they didnt even bother to call and notify me is completely unacceptable. when i questioned why she did not even try to contact me to notify me she explained "breast cancer patients take preference over you and i would have called you when i came around to getting a chance to call you." my operation was NOT a minor surgery, far from it. It is stressful enough without the added pressure.
On top of very poor office management, I paid $190, i saw him for 15 minutes (it took me longer to fill out the paper work) - he did not explain ANYTHING but gave me 3 pamphlets to read through once i got home that scared me more than explained anything to me (it was way too medical) i had to research more over the internet myself. Scheduled me for the first available date (1 month later) for surgery but when i asked the receptionist when i had been "rescheduled" to, she told me she could not notify me of this now that she will have to go through and find out then get back to me at a later date with a time that suits both of us.
I do not recommend ANYBODY to see them or this practise. After calling 2 more places i have found their methods are "radical" (both places described it the same way) and there are other surgeries that can and should be done.

Your Mamas Folk
Mike Hotter
Jesse Sykes & the Sweet Hereafter
Love, Lust & the Open Halls of the Soul (Barsuk)
a cameo that almost stole the album from Sunn O))) and Boris
on their 2006 collaboration Altar, Jesse Sykes, Phil
Wandscher and their cosmic alt-country band have come into
their own with their third album. Looking like a postpunk
Emmylou Harris and singing with the bruised soul of Marianne
Faithfull and Sandy Denny, the upstate-New York-bred, Seattle-based
Sykes fronts a band who bring a late-60s sheen to each of
her brooding meditations on life and love. But this is no
exercise in nostalgiathis is folk-rock for the 21st century.
Along with songs that owe sonic fealty to usual suspects like
Townes Van Zandt and Neil Young, rockers like You Might Walk
Away and I Like the Sound bring out a dangerous and mysterious
edge in Sykes voice. Sykes drops Zen koans like I was born
to be loved/In the golden age of chatter and Those floating
clouds on the ridge/Are hungry ghosts in waiting, like a
psychedelic Yoda jamming on the stage of the old Avalon Ballroom.
Phil Wandscher, a founding member of Whiskeytown, shines throughout
with tasteful lead guitar accompaniment, getting to out-jam
Ryan Adams Cardinals on the closing rave-up of the albums
best song, Station Grey. A strong album from start to finish,
this offering breaks the Sweet Hereafter out of the confines
of alt-country and into the forefront of straight-up independent
rock & roll.
Songs (Asthmatic Kitty)
This unassuming gem manages to be a wonder of pop songsmith
and arranging smarts while maintaining an alluring patina
of mystery. The 10 songs are awash in the delight of musical
sounds. Lyrics dart in and out of clarity as the instrumental
tracks themselves define the prevailing moods, moving easily
from melancholy to celebration. Rafter Roberts has played
a role in the music and recordings of a host of bands (Pinback,
Black Heart Processional, the Album Leaf, Castanets), many
of whom have also passed through his San Diego studio, which
is where he slowly brought these songs to life some eight
years ago. With the exception of horns and violin, Rafter
played and sang everything himself. Though suffused with sad
beauty, none of the songs wallow in darkness; rather they
feel all the more real and human-scale because of the breadth
of the emotional experience.
Harry Smith Project: Anthology of American Folk Music Revisited
(Shout! Factory)
Having come back to life 10 years ago, Harry Smiths Anthology
of American Folk Music is proving as persistent a force
now as it was a half-century ago, when the Anthology
was a six-record set collecting ancient recordings of folk
songscommercial recordings aimed at rural markets, and featuring
such performers as Mississippi John Hurt, Dock Boggs, Blind
Lemon Jefferson and Uncle Dave Macon.
Bob Dylan was fascinated by this set; so were Dave Van Ronk,
Roger McGuinn and many others who, after obsessive listening,
would go on to shape the folk music boom of the 1960s.
The question for producer Hal Willner was how those songs
might be interpreted by an array of contemporary singers.
Elvis Costello, Nick Cave, Richard Thompson, Marianne Faithfull
and Geoff Muldaur are among those tapped for the three concerts
(London, New York and Los Angeles) from which the material
for these two CDs and single DVD were drawn.
The answer proves the wisdom of Smiths projectand the enduring
legacy of songs that burrowed deeply into our unconscious.
Take The Butchers Boy, sung in a 1928 recording by Buell
Kazee on Smiths Anthology, later covered by Joan Baez
and the Clancy Brothersand, on this new set, Elvis Costello.
He takes a straightforward but intense approach to this relentless
lament, wrapping the timeless agony of this story in his familiar
growl. It works, just as it works when Muldaur rocks out on
K.C. Moan, which got a more subdued performance by the Memphis
Jug Band in the original anthology.
But its not all that straightforward. Trombonist Roswell
Rudd, who defies categorization, teams with Sonic Youth on
Dry Bonesnot the song where the bones are connected and
gonna walk around, but an older, sterner number that Rudd
and company turn into an inspiring cacophony, a wonderful
swirl of sound punctuated with Rudds playing and singing.
Bunt Stephens, a champion fiddler, recorded Sail Away Lady
in 1926; here it gets an enhanced instrumental ensemble featuring
Van Dyke Parks at the piano and the Mondrian String Quartet,
recorded at Londons Meltdown Festival. Two years later, Parks
appeared at a Harry Smith tribute event at UCLA, this time
with the Greene String Quartet and bassist Percy Heath, who
are among the backing for Pere Ubus David Thomas singing
Fishing Blues, this amazing confluence of musicians turning
Henry Thomass plaintive number into a lively, angry anthem.
Youll see that one on the DVD, along with well-chosen highlights
from whats on the CDs. And there are a few bonuses, not least
of which is a cameo by the Folksmen (Christopher Guest, Michael
McKean and Harry Shearer) singing Old Joes Place from A
Mighty Wind.
Theres also a bonus documentary DVD with an engaging feature
about the life and work of Harry Smith, as well as examples
of Smiths filmmaking (he hand-colored animations, frame by
frame) set to original music by Philip Glass and others (and
Glass is on hand to introduce his material).
Other Harry Smith tributes included a 1997 tribute concert
issued on a single CD and a two-disc set of what would have
been Smiths Anthology, volume four, and theyre important
additions to any Smithophiles collection. But this set may
be most important in the way that it integrates those classic
songs into contemporary performances, keeping the flame amid
ever-mightier winds.

|Life after meiosis: patterning the angiosperm male gametophyte.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20298224 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Pollen grains represent the highly reduced haploid male gametophyte generation in angiosperms. They play an essential role in plant fertility by generating and delivering twin sperm cells to the embryo sac to undergo double fertilization. The functional specialization of the male gametophyte and double fertilization are considered to be key innovations in the evolutionary success of angiosperms. The haploid nature of the male gametophyte and its highly tractable ontogeny makes it an attractive system to study many fundamental biological processes, such as cell fate determination, cell-cycle progression and gene regulation. The present mini-review encompasses key advances in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms controlling male gametophyte patterning in angiosperms. A brief overview of male gametophyte development is presented, followed by a discussion of the genes required at landmark events of male gametogenesis. The value of the male gametophyte as an experimental system to study the interplay between cell fate determination and cell-cycle progression is also discussed and exemplified with an emerging model outlining the regulatory networks that distinguish the fate of the male germline from its sister vegetative cell. We conclude with a perspective of the impact emerging data will have on future research strategies and how they will develop further our understanding of male gametogenesis and plant development.

The Community Networking movement has run parallel to the evolution and growth of the Internet as a way to bring access to, and meaningfuly use of, computers and computer networks to underserved populations, mostly in rural and depressed urban areas within the U.S., and in developing nations. The various organizations within the movement have focused on access and training to bridge the "digital divide" and ensure information equity. One of the leading Community Network Organizations, the Association for Community Networking, used the Seventh Annual Community Internet Summit (formerly called the National Community Networking Conference) as a platform new thinking about where the community networking movement should be and should go, via Open Space Austin, "an intensive two day strategy meeting, designed to spark common alignment, new alliances and individual actions for anyone passionate about community & independent media, community networking, community wireless, community informatics & research or community technology and the relevance of these to community and economic development."
The Open Space sessions focused on Social and Media Justice, Policy, Open Source, and Collaboration from a community network/nonprofit/NGO perspective, seeking a renewed vision and strategy for AFCN and its adherents. Whereas AFCN was almost the only organization of its kind when it formed as a backbone for the nascent community networking movement, a number of organizations have emerged in recent years to support community technology centers (CTCs), nonprofits, and digital divide issues, including CTCNet, NTen, the Digital Divide Network, Aspiration Tech, et al. There's also a growing list of global community wireless networks that have emerged with little reference or connection to the original community networking movement, and there are new globally-focused projects like Global Voices and Blogger Corps that have emerged from the blogosphere/social software realm.
Given the current explosion of web innovation and activity – "Web 2.0" (or is it 3.0?) and the renewed emphasis on interactive participation – community networking is experiencing a resurgence in many organizations, initiatives, and projects that are decentralized and, in many cases, unaware of each other. Decentralization is a characteristic of the evolving network society, about which Manuel Castells says
Networks and social actors increasingly require the shared cultural codes - values, categories, and meanings that networks can process effectively. They need to redefine cultural code and alternative meaning - to change the rules of the game/society. This is what identity based social movements are seeking to do as sources of change in an information age, for example environmentalism. They affirm experience over instrumentality, meaning over function, the value of life over the values in the networks.Helping define and sustain these "shared cultural codes" may be a task for AFCN, and this was reflected in some of the closing comments and commitments I heard at Open Space Austin. We should work at building effective networks that connect projects in the same space so that they can share ideas and identity, form ad hoc alliances behind affinity initiatives, and avoid duplication of effort. Where a thousand flowers bloom, we may need organizations like AFCN to tend the garden.
Excellent post. Much good information here. Thank you. - Troy
Maybe it is a groundless impression but it seems that these community network associations end up promoting somewhat gated and highly connected enclaves which end up undermining the efforts to bridge the digital divide.
Community networks in general have far less funding and human resources than the really need to accomplish their mission of ensuring access and information equity for populations that are underserved for whatever reasons - generally related to economic and educational level. They're not gated, they just have their heads down, working without high visibility. Beyond the local, AFCN is pretty open - dues are $25, but you're not excluded from the communications loop if you don't pay. I know less about CTCNet, but I'm aware that it's also underfunded.
I personally have stood for connecting and networking these and other kinds of groups at the grassroots level, bringing more voices into the mix that affects culture and policy. Connective tissue, so to speak. I think that could be a good role for AFCN.
Jon, thanks for posting this! I am very pleased that the event went well and that folks felt they got something out of it. I think we are all much better connected because of it, and though we have much to do, we don't feel as alone.
There's a distinction between Community Networks as organizations and entities, and Community Networking as a process. Sometimes we've been too tied to the former, and in that sense heads were down, but if we keep the latter process in mind, we can work towards networking persons, organizations and resources in the community interest. That's my aim!

WASHINGTON (AP) President Barack Obama says new U.S. sanctions imposed on Russian officials make it clear "that there are consequences for their actions" in Crimea and he's warning that the U.S. stands ready to impose further sanctions if necessary.
The president stressed that the government has the authority to go after officials in the Russian arms sector and those who support Russian cronies if the government doesn't pursue a diplomatic solution to the crisis in Ukraine.
Obama on Monday froze the U.S. assets of seven Russian officials for their support of Crimea's vote to secede from Ukraine in the most comprehensive sanctions against Russia since the end of the Cold War. The Treasury Department also is imposing sanctions on four Ukrainians involved in the separatist effort.

The creative audience group I have participated in over the past year has been nothing short of a wonderful, invaluable, and enriching experience. It has generated an expansion of how I experience and sense the world around me through photography.
Eight years ago I was extremely fortunate to be invited to study with a small group of thirty aspiring photographers from around the world in a one-year Fine Art Photography Program held in a museum in Manhattan. The experience was exciting, enriching, and rewarding. Part of the process included weekly critiques where we shared or "critiqued" fellow artists' photographs. It involved constructive criticism, opinions, and descriptions of elements we saw in the imagery, both metaphorically and literally. We explained our worlds with ideas only, not feelings or experiences. The way we saw and interpreted images was based on what we knew. Yet I came away with a body of work and a more complete understanding of who I was and why I chose my imagery, and at the time, this process seemed complete.
Taking the Zen of Creativity workshop seven years later deconstructed and reconstructed both my process of photographing and my way of experiencing imagery by moving beyond seeing.
I had always known that I photograph imagery that resonates with me, and trusting this process has always rewarded me with a satisfying end product. What I didn't know was that I could place myself in a space of trust and go out and find subjects that would call me, resonate and become fully engaged with me. I could now photograph anywhere at any time. How magical and wonderful!
For creative feedback, I stopped trying to see objects and allowed myself to be fully present and experience the imagery through my feelings. By setting aside the judgmental process so ingrained in my being, in my mind, I was able to enter the image, becoming part of it. Colors and sounds flowed through me. Intuition often guided me to a place within my photography partner's being that could only be accessed through the creative process. This expansion of being allowed me to give and share feedback completely and honestly. I was no longer limited by composition only.
To this end, I am honored to have been guided to the Zen of Creativity workshop and eternally grateful to have the opportunity to share my work with all the members who have continued with the creative audience group. It has been and continues to be an enriching, expansive, and deeply rewarding experience.
Susan Williams is a fine art photographer and chemist who combines both of these skills while working as a marketing manager of scientific digital cameras at Olympus.

Okay, here is my entry:
My Entry
I've seen machines listed in bad condition - but seriously? WTH is this?
ROFLAO, you win, hands down!
Bernina 550 QE
Janome 350E
Juki HZL-F600
Looks like something you would see as a prop in some kind of 'the end of the world" movie.
------"What you WANT is irrelevant, what you've CHOSEN is at hand." --Mr. Spock
It doesn't just look dead - it looks like its been dead, buried and dug up again!
I just know this thread is going to be the best ever!
It's a diamond in the rough!!!
Seriously, I don't know that lisalu's entry can be topped, but I have a candidate for the Longest Running Ad. I've seen this one over & over for at least 6 months, & someone else said it's been showing up for over a year.
"Must Sell .... works great" uh huh.
a blog about creativity, sewing, vintage sewing machines, and...... life :)
A Zombie Sewing machine!
my entry is for an high price I think,,my entry
Filthy Machine, $95
This might not be the worst-looking machine I've ever seen (no rust, not obviously missing parts), but the seller deserves some kind of prize for sheer determination. The digital date on one of the photos appears to be 12/28/2009. This same exact ad, with the same 2 photos, and the same abbreviated ad copy, has been posted once or twice a week since about that date -- for the last year and a half.
ETA: Oh, JillyBe beat me to it!! The San Francisco Bay Area CraigList "sewing" listings just wouldn't be the same if I didn't see this ad every week.
The following CL ad was up for less than 12-hours, but I posted it verbatim in another Sewing Machines forum thread a couple months ago:
Singer Treadle Sewing Machine - $7000 (~~city name~~)
This is a beautiful machine. It has the fold out sewing machine.
Also the table has a long slim fold out drawer at the top
that still has 1950 sewing supplies as do all 4 drawers.
It has a cast Iron foot Treadle
I cannot ask any less as this has been in the family for decades.
The pictures do not do this justice.
call ~~name~~ at xxx-xxx-xxxx
My comments: The photos didn't do it justice because they were taken from across the room, but it appeared to be a clean, but otherwise unremarkable treadle in an unadorned 5-drawer cabinet. It looked something like this, but the photos weren't as clear. For $7000, it should have been gold-plated.
At the time, I read the ad to my husband. Me: "Hey, listen to this!" (He does NOT have SMAD, but seems understanding of my own SMAD condition.) He was drinking a cup of tea and nearly did a spit take, then burst into laughter when he heard the price.

WINCHESTER, Ky. (WKYT) - Winchester Police say a fight between a mother and daughter escalated, putting the grandmother in jail.
Melissa Hampton, 50, was arraigned Wednesday afternoon and isnow booked in the Clark County Jail. Police say Tuesday night, Winchester Police got a call from Naisha Hampton. She told police that she and her mother got into an argument about her mother babysitting her baby while intoxicated. That's when police say the altercation got worse when Melissa Hampton pulled out a knife on her daughter while arguing. Melissa Hampton now faces two charges.
"The wanton endangerment steams from pulling a knife on her daughter, Naisha and the endangering the welfare of a minor results from her alcohol intoxication while caring for the child," Capt. Harvey Craycraft with Winchester Police told us Wednesday.
Winchester Police tell us no one was hurt. They say all three live together. Naisha Hampton was at work while her mother was babysitting.

Big holiday weekend in Connellsville arrives with plenty of events
The big holiday weekend has arrived and all the events are ready to go. The Geranium Festival will offer plenty of free entertainment, shopping and delicious food as well as the many beautiful geraniums at such a great price. The Garden Club members want to remind everyone that the flowers don't go on sale before 10 a.m. The Molinaro Band will be heading down Crawford Avenue from IC Church at 9:30 a.m., so the streets are sure to be lined with onlookers. The band will then play marches at Lions Square for awhile after that. The always popular pet parade will follow at 11 a.m. and that is fun to watch. At noon, visitors can see the Princess contestants dressed in their finest at the Gazebo as the judges have the difficult task of picking a winner from the cute 4-6-year-olds. Taney Basinger, a sensational 9-year-old singer from Bullskin will entertain starting at 1 p.m. Shelly McCombie will start her show at 2 p.m. No Holden Back will play music throughout the day, so there will be no "down time" for all that free entertainment. Bring a chair to spend time enjoying the performers. Wait until you see all the terrific flower creations the Garden Club members have made to sell — very, very unique.
The weekend starts with the 4th annual Yough Country Symposium at Yough River Park on Friday. There will be plenty of good information and discussion about Connellsville as a Hub for the Trail. If you want to enjoy breakfast and lunch there, too, be sure to get your $15 into ArtWorks by Wednesday. And while you're there, why not buy your ticket for that night's Sammy Brooks Band performance at the Edwin S. Porter Theater. These four young men from Connellsville really know how to entertain a crowd. The cost is only $15 and includes refreshments following the concert.
Very important. Wednesday is the last day to register for the Golden Reunion being held Sunday at East Park. The event is from noon-4 p.m. with a catered lunch being served at 1 p.m. by Miller's Catering of Connellsville. The food was very good last year and will to be this year, too, I'm sure. Sharon and Gordon Miller and staff always do an outstanding job. The big band sounds of The Wally Gingers Orchestra also starts at 1 p.m. The cost is only $25 and you will get to see a lot of friends. There will be a shuttle from the Fairview Avenue city parking lot for those who want to park there and be driven down into East Park. For those who park at East Park, a golf cart will bring you into the park. Golf cart drivers will be Lou Durbin and John Shields; thanks to them for volunteering their time. Register and pay online at www.fayettetrust.org or at ArtWorks, 139 W. Crawford Ave. "We look forward to a great weekend, starting with Friday's informational symposium and concert, the Garden Club's Geranium Festival, the second Golden Reunion and Monday's parade. There are so many opportunities to meet up with old friends and make some new ones. We hope that everyone will take advantage of the many events that are available in Connellsville," said Michael Edwards, president of Fayette County Cultural Trust.
On Monday, the Memorial Day parade, followed by the program at the War Memorial, begins when the marchers move out from West Side shortly after 9:30 a.m. to the 10 a.m. bridge ceremony and then on through town, turning left on Pittsburgh Street. This parade has many participants, including the Mighty Falcon Marching Band and the Connellsville Elementary Band. There will be two Junior ROTC units, dignitaries and those representing the military. It is important that a good crowd turns out for both the parade and the program. Dunbar's parade is also that morning and the Connellsville Junior High Band will be in it.
The CAHS Patriots want to thank everyone who helped make this year's auction a success. This was our best year with a total of $15,000 raised through all efforts associated with the event. To those who donated, we say, "Thank you. You've made this all possible." To those who worked the event, we say, "Thank you. Without you this event wouldn't have happened."
To those who attended, bought food, drinks, baked goods and cast the winning bids, we also say, "Thank you and bless you," said Linda Shearer. The Patriots will be set up at the Geranium Festival Saturday. They will be selling, in addition to good food and baked goods, raffle tickets on a beautiful patriotic handmade 84-by-90-inch quilt with the drawing on June 1, three raffle items that will be given away that day, and patriotic items.

Sony PlayMemories Studio now live, gives PS3 media editing
updated 01:40 pm EDT, Tue March 27, 2012
PlayMemories Studio handles photos
Sony's hinted at PS3 photo editing suite has reached North America through PSN. PlayMemories Studio on the PS3 both provides a more efficient, timeline-based way of organizing photos and videos than the stock interface as well as a way to edit them on the game console. Along with art filters, users can lay on captions and scripts as well as introduce slower playback and sound effects on videos.
It's now possible to find geotagged photos on a map, and the organizer can see content on removable USB devices without having to import it first. Once ready, it's possible to share either through Facebook or through Sony's unifying cloud service PlayMemories Online, which is due to switch on in April.
Unlike most of Sony's software add-ons for the PS3, PlayMemories Studio costs $15. Those uncertain about whether they'll use the app can use it for free in a 30-day trial.
