From the street performers who line La Rambla to works by modernist masters like Picasso, Gaudí, and Miró, the Catalan capital is awash in culture, much of it accessible for free with a little planning.
With its Seussian spires and intricate sculptures, the basilica known as La Sagrada Família may be best summed up as otherworldly. Under construction since 1882, the cardinal work of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí is slated to be completed around 2026—the hundredth anniversary of the artist's death. Admission will set you back around $20, but marveling at the icon's fanciful exterior is free. If you do splurge to have a look inside, book online to skip the notorious long line to buy tickets, especially in the summer.
Even if architecture isn't your thing, Gaudí's trippy Casa Milà (or La Pedrera, the quarry) on Passeig de Gràcia is a must-see. The house's undulating face, lack of right angles, and surrealistic flourishes—twisted ironwork, chimneys shaped like soldiers—raised eyebrows when it was completed around 1912 but is now considered one of Gaudí's greatest achievements. It was deemed a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1984, along with the other Gaudí buildings in the city. The entrance fee is around $23, but it's nada to soak up the fantastical facade from the sidewalk.
Head south on the swank Passeig de Gràcia—one of the city's main thoroughfares—and you'll encounter more architectural gems, especially on the so-called "block of discord." Josep Puig i Cadafalch's neo-gothic/modernista Casa Amatller and another Gaudí treasure, Casa Batlló, are notable structures there.
Get your bearings by cruising La Rambla, the pedestrian boulevard that stretches from Plaça Catalunya to the old port. The establishment of the 18th-century promenade, which traces the route of an ancient riverbed outside the medieval wall that once protected the city, was a big hit with Barcelonans eager to see and be seen. Aside from the influx of tourists, not much has changed. People-watching is free, as are the performances of buskers—elaborately costumed human statues dominate—though they always appreciate a couple of coins. Look for Joan Miró's circular mosaic halfway up La Rambla, near the Liceu Theatre.
Depending on the length of your stay, your stamina, and your appetite for attractions, the Barcelona Card could save muchos euros. Ranging from about $46 for adults and $18 for children for two days and up to $76 for adults and $40 for kids for five days, the pass covers admission to 26 sights (many of which also allow cardholders to skip the line, such as the Chocolate Museum and the Museum of Olympic Sports), public transportation within the city, and discounts to more than 70 other attractions, shops, and restaurants.
If you've got your eye on specific museums, however, check their websites for policies on discounts and free admission before you spring for the inclusive card. For instance, the Barcelona Contemporary Art Museum invites teachers, certain Spanish students, and those ages 65 and older to visit for free. What's more, the museum's $14 entrance fee is good for a month.
Several museums also open their doors for free on the first Sunday of the month, including the Picasso Museum. Housed in five adjacent medieval mansions, the museum's collection focuses on the artist's early years; highlights are the ambitious "Science and Charity," painted when he was just 15, and the cubist "Blanquita Suárez." The museum also offers complimentary admission to those under the age of 18 and to everyone on Sundays after 3 p.m.
Barcelona is blessed with miles of contiguous beaches, but the most popular is arguably Barceloneta. Its broad, sandy beach is within walking distance of La Rambla and is equipped with bathrooms, showers, game areas, cafés, and even WiFi. Prepare to see the occasional sunbather au naturel.
The work of surrealist Joan Miró has a playful quality that resonates with kids, and admission to the Joan Miró Foundation in Montjuïc Park is gratis (those under age 14 anyway, accompanied by an adult, for whom admission is about $15). On display from the collection are hundreds of paintings, sculptures, and textiles, some 8,000 drawings, and a rotating exhibition of works by emerging avant-garde artists.
Tots can choose from multiple playgrounds at the historic Parc de la Ciutadella, including a special toy-sharing area near the duck pond. The rambling green space is also home to the Barcelona Zoo, Museum of Natural History and Science, table tennis, bike and rowing boat rentals, and a glass greenhouse packed with subtropical plants. Another big hit with kids: climbing the woolly mammoth statue near the Cascada, the park's Baroque fountain and waterfall designed by Josep Fontsère.
Built for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc added lights to its water display for the 1992 Olympics. Today, visitors can catch the show most nights after dark, on the half hour.
Food and Drink
The display of whole Iberico hams hanging at the entrance to the Mercat de la Boqueria alone is worth a visit to the storied public market. Inside, hundreds of vendors showcase everything from local seafood (best photo op: the cluster of fishmongers known as the "island of fish") to regional specialties like olives and wine. Grab a pint of freshly squeezed juice (around $1) and roam among the Barcelonans shopping for dinner, preferably before the 2 p.m. pickup in traffic.
The first thing you notice about Santa Caterina Market is its undulating roof covered in colorful ceramic tiles (meant to represent fruits and vegetables). Refurbished in 2005, the enormous hall has more of a modern, local feel than Boqueria. After you've worked up an appetite, take a load off at the reasonably priced Cuines Santa Caterina, which serves Asian-Mediterranean tapas like vegetable tempura with pimientos sauce.
Originally intended as a housing community based on British garden towns, Gaudí's mosaic-riddled Park Güell was converted to a public park in 1926. Entrance is free, but there's now a fee ($9.60 per adult if purchased online; $11 at the ticket office) to enter the Monumental Zone, where much of the good stuff, like the Dragon Stairway and Hypostyle Room, can be found. (The Gaudí House Museum charges a separate admission on top of this.) Still, it's possible to wrangle free entry to the zone by signing up for the Gaudir+BCN cultural register. The clincher is you can only register in person at the Oficina d'Atenció al Ciutadà (Citizen Attention Office) in Plaça de Sant Miquel, open Monday to Saturday, 8:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., and there's a seven-day wait for passes.
Despite its dark past as a military prison, the 17th-century Castell de Montjuïc atop Montjuïc Mountain is a tranquil spot to wander around the garden-filled moat and take in the harbor below. Entrance is free after 3 p.m. on Sundays.
You could roam the medieval labyrinth of narrow streets and alleyways in the Barri Gòtic (the Gothic Quarter) on your own (read: Prepare to get lost) or take a free walking tour from Travel Bound, whose guides work on a tips-only basis.

Positive finish for week's trading

Market Data
The New Zealand sharemarket closed the week's trading on a positive note, with some profit taking.
The NZX50 index closed up 0.1 per cent or 4.45 points to 3979.17.
Most property stocks were in the red with DNZ Property Fund falling 1.2 per cent to $1.50 and Goodman Property Trust down 1 per cent to $1.00. Kiwi Income Property Trust fell 0.4 per cent to $1.14. Vital Healthcare Property Trust was down 0.8 per cent to $1.22. Precinct Properties fell one per cent to 98c. Craigs Investment Partners head dealer Bryon Burke said the star performer today was Ryman, up strongly rising 3.5 per cent to $4.39, enough to push the index in to positive territory. There was mixed trading in the midcaps but Fonterra, which is not in the index, hit a new all time high up 0.9 per cent to $7.07. Local investors are quite surprised by its current valuation.
''There are certainly two opposing forces at the moment. There is still the wall of money coming off fixed interest given low interest rate environment and the market has performed so well this year that there is a bit of profit taking in our market.''
Auckland International Airport rose 1.9 per cent to $2.67. Diligent Board Member Services rose 2.2 per cent to $4.70. Rural services company PGG Wrightson was up 2.7 per cent to 38 cents. Vector rose 1.9 per cent to $2.67. Insurer Tower was up 1.7 per cent to $1.83.

Sorry for the Murdock link…
Twenty five-year-old Chinaka Hodge's play, Mirrors in Every Corner, is an intimate story of a black family set in West Oakland. But even that simple description doesn't work. By the time the play begins, the mom in the family, who already had three black sons, has inexplicably given birth to a white daughter. (The girl, by the way, is played by the same adult black actress who portrays the mother.) The story explores how race is lived within this family and out in the world, today and across generations. (Here's a long review.)
The play debuted this spring at the small non-profit theater, Intersection for the Arts, in San Francisco. For the next run of Mirrors in Every Corner, even before her characters say their first lines on stage, Chinaka is (as danah boyd might say) "writing them into being" (PDF) via platforms like Twitter, Facebook, GChat, and blogs. Her first attempt---a Twitter version of her play's opening scene (scroll all the way down to get to the first tweet).
Chinaka wants audiences to know more about these five family members than can fit inside the play itself. She wants us to share experiences with her characters (like, say, a recent Dave Chappelle show at the New Parish in Oakland), interacting with them in the same digital spaces where we congregate with friends. It's about making the play relevant for young theatergoers. "We're asking them to take a huge leap in terms of what race is, a huge leap in terms of time, space, ancestorship," she says, given the impossibility of the play's premise and the way her story wedges history into the present. Chinaka's banking on achieving realism by extending the play's artifice beyond the theater.
I've known Chinaka since she was in high school, when she started performing stunning poetry as part of our shared work at Youth Speaks, the nation's leading spoken-word poetry organization based in San Francisco. Here she is just a few years post-grad on the HBO series, Def Poetry Jam. In the video below, she describes her social media plans for the next staging of Mirrors in Every Corner.
Indie producers started integrating social media into the creative process a long time ago. But Chinaka's vision for rupturing the fourth wall raises all sorts of questions for playwrights and others who've traditionally touched audiences through live performance. What does an author do with the character-building that takes place in the digital beyond, outside her control? How does that engagement feed back into the stage piece? Does the author have to out the characters as fictional, so as not to risk leaving audiences feeling duped? How does an emerging artist get audiences to care about obscure characters in a small independent theater project in the first place?
When you think about it, social media makes all of us into playwrights, turning ourselves into characters and our lives into scripts. We upload pictures that make us look way better than in real life, we labor over getting the phrasing of an update just right. And so it seems oddly fitting, as we move through social media spaces, to run into fully fabricated characters, whose creators have unleashed them onto a different kind of stage.
Forthcoming game No Mans Sky promises players the experience of exploring a nigh-infinite universe of beautiful, dreamlike worlds. But its fans are far from serene.

This is something we've been talking about over at 2amtheatre.com. Part of our focus is on how theatres can use, should use and have used social media effectively.
My own theatre company, Riverrun Theatre, produced a play called "Wise Man" back in 2008 at Christmas time where we had two of the three characters tweeting in real time for the two weeks leading up to the show, and then for a few days after it closed, because it was set at approximately the same time as the actual show dates.
We let audiences discover it for themselves through our website and mailing list emails, then mentioned it explicitly in the programs. People loved getting a hint of exposition ahead of time, those who found out at the show enjoyed going back and reading the conversations before the actual story on stage, and they all loved getting a glimpse of what happened next.
That's only one of the storytelling concepts we've discussed there and on the #2amt tag on Twitter…

/The gains made by better algorithms almost always outstrip the gains from better hardware./
I've frequently seen where algorithm improvements pay by factors of tens to tens of thousands in CPU time. One change I made in a numerical algorithm improved CPU requirements by a factor of 50,000: from weeks on a super-computer to minutes on a workstation.
Any business-savvy engineer knows that algorithm improvements come at a price: the engineer's time. Striking that balance makes software systems move forward rather than staggering to a halt in bloat and dysfunction. It also helps to use people who actually know what they are doing: knowing how to compile code doesn't make you a software engineer any more than knowing how to spell makes you a writer. End of rant.
On to (rant related) business. On most Web sites, think of how many times a data source will be used to retrieve the same data and produce the same content over and over again. Most successful services deliver a highly redundant amount of information to their users. For example, the JDJ website will deliver this (same) content to perhaps a hundred thousand users. If the servers are overtaxed, customers will experience significant delays or malfunctions.
There are several useful solutions to this. Well configured caching proxy servers come to mind, although server-side scripting make this difficult. Buying more hardware will eventually fix the problem, which may be the correct business solution.
But what about asking programmers to be a little more lazy?
For this article I've included the source for the LazyFileOutputStream. It acts just like a regular FileOutputStream except that, if created on a file that already exists, it /reads/ the data from the file instead of writes it. The stream compares what is already in the file with what you are currently writing to it. If at any point it sees there is a difference in the data you are writing this time compared to what is already there, the stream automatically switches to a write-mode that writes over the remainder of the file with the changes.
The upshot is, if your program generates the same output twice, the output file is unmodified the second time (leaving the original modification date). First, by simply changing FileOutputStream to LazyFileOutputStream, any downstream processing can use timestamp information on the files to check if they need to do anything at all. If the timestamp hasn't changed, then neither has the contents.
But wait, there's more! In addition to the standard close(), the LazyFileOutputStream also supports abort(). This method effectively states "I'm done now, leave the rest of the file alone." The remainder of the file will be the same, even without reproducing it. This means that, if you determine at an early point in the processing of the file that it's going to turn out the same, you can simply abort() to leave it alone. Its similar to the idea of not changing the modification dates on files which are rewritten with the same data, but allows for saving CPU time for the current process step as well as downstream processing..
Certain engines produce part of the template before you can conveniently intervene to decide if you really need to regenerate it. By opening up the output as a Lazy file, you can just abort() early and have the old version, with the the old modification time, around for downstream processing.
Okay, rant concluded and point made: CPUs around the planet are spinning through the same data tens of thousands of times producing the same content tens of thousands of times. Instead of buying great big servers to manage this, a smart caching policy based on lazy file writers and some modification time testing could save some sites that same wild-sounding factor of 50,000. Without having to buy 50,000 new servers.
Anecdote # 1. There is a certain technical advantage to this style of writing data as well: most storage devices are easier to read from than write to, adhering to the 80/20 rule: 80% of file access will be reads, 20% will be writes.. The LazyFileOutputStream takes advantage of that for the many files which are simply rewritten with the same content.
Anecdote # 2. There must be a few curled toes out there saying to themselves, "Why not LazyFileWriter?" There are good technical reasons for the OutputStream: the logic of the data written must be checked in its raw /byte/ format for the idea to work correctly, and you can always wrap this in an OutputStreamWriter, followed by a BufferedWriter, which is what I recommend.
Now I'm even done with the anecdotes. Have a nice day.

Response to Mark M.
Back in the bad-old-days designers would kick around which sort would be better to use. Now practically all sort problems are best solved with Collections.sort() or using a TreeSet or TreeMap. This is a total win situation: it's faster to write, easier to maintain, and better optimized than any roll-your-own sort. So there's almost no context: the Collections' sort is almost always better.
I'll claim LazyFileOutputStream sits one step lower than this: it's almost never worse, and sometimes better than a plain FileOutputStream. If you are writing small chunks to an unbuffered stream (or flushing() after every character), then the adapter pattern it uses to implement its magic may cost you a little in time (but negligibly compared to other costs related to this approach). There is also a buffer overhead because of the (IMHO silly) decision to leave fundamental memory operations like POSIX memcmp out of the java system libraries. But you're writing to a file, and well, that's just kinda slow.
But what you gain is information. When you're done .isDifferent() will tell you if there was a change without having to keep the old copy around to see if there was a change, and the timestamps will tell you even if downstream processing occurs in some logically distant place, like another process.
So there's very little to lose in almost any situation, and a great deal to gain if:
1. your template processing is file-based.
Without timestamp information, implementing part 2 may have seemed like a waste of time (which it would have been, since every template rebuild would look like it was different), but switching to LazyFileOutputStreams can make it effective.
|Warren MacEvoy 10/15/04 07:07:48 PM EDT
My apologies, but somehow the wrong link was placed for the source file. The correct adddress to the LazyFileOutputStream which the article refers to is:
JavaDoc'ed at:
You might also note that the class uses abandon() instead of abort(), which is a minor change.
This has nothing to do with
Again, my apologies for any confusion this may have created...
|Mark M 10/15/04 11:47:56 AM EDT
Response to Warren M.
The key question is not how much more complicated it is to write the class. The key question is what is the context of the problem? Too often generic solutions to problems are presented (even if that is not always the author's intention, these things can be easily mis-interpreted as such) and their validity/necessity almost always depends upon the context of the problem. You yourself emphasize the need for context in your response to Jim M. You have created a useful tool for yourself given the context of the problem you were trying to solve. When the next programmer comes along, the context may be completely different. Often times, many are lead to believe incorrectly in one size fits all philosophies, for instance, it is widely viewed within the industry by working folk like myself that the notions of Bertand Meyer and Kent Beck conflict when in fact they both may be valid solutions under differing contexts. Lack of context is the biggest complaint I have with books on process in this industry. Without it, many arguments are neither valid nor invalid, just ambiguous. There is at least one really bright fella who says a lot about context when he writes. His name is Fred Brooks.
|Warren MacEvoy 10/14/04 10:42:09 PM EDT
Response to Mark M.
I agree that it usually a waste of time to optimize without profiling to know where your problems are. You must also have a business argument that the problem needs to be solved and that optimizations are the best way to solve it.
It is wrong to think that optimizations must be complicated. There's plenty of code out there that make poor or no use of Collections, which would be faster to write, maintain and execute if better choices were made. Good programmers should know how to use these features to improve turnaround, defects, and efficiency (the rant part of my article).
The purpose of the article is to point another kind of "low hanging fruit" related to file processing. After all, how much more complicated is it to write "LazyFileOutputStream" compared to "FileOutputStream"?
Response to Jim M.
Completely? Substantially. Completely claims they have nothing to learn from each other, yet there are many business problems with a short lifetime and plenty of rustic scientific codes are dutifully solving the problems they were designed to solve twenty and thirty years after they were written.
Again, the optimizations I'm suggesting don't need to be complicated. The LazyFileOutputStream is as simple as the code it replaces. How does that detriment readability or maintainability?
As far as longevity, I like the analogy of building a wall. The last row of the wall (business or scientific) can be very slipshod and the wall will still be a wall. Much software is written with the (sometimes correct) assumption that they will be part of the last row of bricks. But people change their minds, and what was once the last row is not anymore. In the real world, this is why tens of thousands of people die when there is an earthquake in a third-world country.
Should businesses be happy with a software design model analogous to the slums of Mexico City?
Response to Justin S.
Edit one line of an XML configuration file, changing one attribute. Many elements of your design depend on this XML file, but almost none of them depend on this one attribute. Your solution suggests detailed code to see if the attributes each dependency requires has changed, which would be hugely complicated to write and maintain.
Mine asks that you to rebuild the elements that directly depend on the configuration file. If they don't change, then you don't have to propagate updates further. Not a perfect optimization, but a much more practical one.
The LazyFileOutputStream supports your idea if you choose to pursue it. If a template decides it does not need to regenerate a target, it can simply abort() to leave the current contents alone without going to the trouble of regenerating all of it.
|Justin Sadowski 10/14/04 08:27:34 PM EDT
While I agree with your thoughts about the value of avoiding writing the same data over and over, I have to disagree with your LazyFileOutputStream solution. If you find that you are writing the same data to the same file repeatedly, I would suggest that you improve this by avoiding the rewriting altogether, instead of just making the rewriting more efficient.
For example, perhaps you are writing the same output repeatedly because you are operating on the same input; i.e. the data in a database hasn't changed, or a source XML file hasn't changed. If you can detect your input hasn't been modified, you can avoid writing the output altogether.
I would like to hear more details about the specific situation(s) that you have used LazyFileOutputStream -- I would be interested to hear an example of a situation where my logic above does not apply.
|Jim T. 10/14/04 07:09:02 PM EDT
Scientific computing and business computing are completely different. In the scientific communality you usually have a very small number of highly skilled people working on a program. That just isn't so in the business world. In the business world I care much more about readability and maintainability rather than speed for 99% of our code. In science, nobody will be using my programs 5 years from now, the data will have all been analyzed and the papers published, in business, the exact same code will be used 5 years from now (or at least it will be for the basis of the code). I believe this is true because it is true of my code from 5 years ago. The physics code is gone/useless and the business code is being resold every day.
|mark mcconkey 10/14/04 05:51:12 PM EDT
Several years back I began reading Kent Beck's stuff (XP) and it struck a chord for me because many of my experiences were similar. I believe Kent's general notion is something to the effect that one should not optimize up front because its too difficult to predict the future, and the majority of the time you will have made your code unreadable for no reason whatsoever. Of course, any seasoned programmer has experienced enough to have a feel for when big troubles are over the hill and thus that some optimization up front will be needed. I think though, that what is missing in your article is a lack of discussion of context. If I have 3 weeks to finish something that will take 6 and 50 big whigs in a fortune 500 company have goals dependent upon the completion of my software, it doesn't matter how clever I am. It matters how fast I can produce what is needed. On the other hand, the creators of Amazon probably needed to be quite clever in order to deal with the magnitude of hits on their servers. Without context, its sort of useless to talk about optimization.

Joe Jonas 'Reconnects' With Ex-Girlfriend Taylor Swift
Joe Jonas has made amends with ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift, confessing the couple "recently reconnected" - more than a year after she publicly chastised him for dumping her over the phone. The Jonas Brothers singer dated Swift for several months in 2008 but their break-up was far from amicable - the country sensation went on national TV in the U.S. in November that year and blasted Jonas for the 27-second chat, which ended their relationship.
Swift even used the heartbreak as inspiration for her song "Forever & Always". But Jonas insists the former couple is back on friendly terms - and he's rooting for Swift to claim gold at Sunday's, January 31, Grammy Awards.
He tells E! News, "We've actually recently reconnected, which is good. I hope she gets a Grammy. She deserves it." Swift is nominated for eight awards. The star will also perform at the Los Angeles event.

Kim Kardashian's divorce finalized
A free woman
Kim Kardashian can marry Kanye West if she wants to now. She's officially single. A Los Angeles judge announced that her divorce from Kris Humphries was final. The Kourtney & Kim Take Miami star and basketball player announced their split after just 72 days of marriage in October 2011. Being pissy, Humphries filed for an annulment, claiming that Kardashian had committed fraud. He requested $7 million from his famous, now pregnant wife. TMZ says Kris dropped his demand for an annulment, and will get nada from Kim.

NATO Embraces McChrystal Escalation in Defeat for Biden
Gen. McChrystal Makes Surprise Bratislava Visit to Campaign for Plan
Following an unexpected visit by Gen. Stanley McChrystal to the NATO Defense Ministers' meeting in Bratislava, the assembled ministers reportedly endorsed the McChrystal Plan, which calls for up to 80,000 additional American troops to fight the war in Afghanistan.
The news was yet another defeat for the so-called Biden Plan, an alternative strategy involving the dramatic escalation of air strikes in Afghanistan neighboring Pakistan while trimming back the nation-building goals of the conflict. Adherents of the plan, backed by Vice President Joe Biden, are reportedly irked by Gen. McChrystal's constant politicking in favor of his plan and public mocking of the Biden version.
The assembled NATO members also agreed on another thing: that the current strategy in Afghanistan is simply not working. After over eight years of conflict, NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen says the alliance needs "a much broader strategy whicch stabilises the whole Afghan society." As enamored as the assembled officials seemed to be with McChrystal's plan, the general is offering roughly the same strategy with massive increases in troops.
And while the NATO members embraced the US escalation, they were largely non-commital on whether or not they intended to send any additional troops of their own. The US is responsible for the vast majority of the forces in Afghanistan, and the growing unpopularity of the war makes escalation a difficult proposition to sell to the voting public in virtually every NATO nation.

Pamela Geller: Olympic Fencer Competing In Hijab Is 'Islamic Supremacism'
On Saturday, fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad qualified for the U.S. Olympic team, making news for becoming the first U.S. athlete who will compete in the Olympics wearing a hijab.
As far as we know, Muhammad's choice to wear a head covering during the competition isn't going to affect anybody else on the U.S. Olympic team, but anti-Muslim activist Pamela Geller is up in arms, saying in an interview with "Breitbart News Daily" this morning that the one athlete wearing a hijab amounts to "Islamic supremacism" and "imposing Islam on the secular marketplace."
"The Olympic team now, they're wearing hijabs, aren't they?" the program's host, Stephen K. Bannon, asked Geller.
Geller confirmed that "they've designed special outfits for them."
"It's more of imposing Islam on the secular marketplace," she added, "whether it's in the workplace, whether it's in the school. It's Islamic supremacism is what it is. You have even in Canada, the Mounties, they're designing a police officer's uniform with a hijab. This is Islamic supremacism. You know, Jewish law pertains only to Jews, canon law pertains only to Christians, but Sharia, Islamic law, asserts it's authority over non-Muslims. This is the problem and this is something that is never discussed."
