A few years back Brian Lewis had the kind of senior year that most athletes only dream about. His 2006 Otay Ranch football team shared the Mesa League championship with Eastlake and Chula Vista. His strong leg and accuracy on the gridiron won him Kicker of the Year honors. The following winter, his Mustangs soccer team went on a magical run that took them all the way to a CIF banner - the first in the school's history.
After graduating from Otay Ranch in June 2007, Lewis didn't know whether to pursue football or soccer. He ended up pursuing both. He kicked briefly for the Grossmont College football team, then changed direction and headed to Austria where he played soccer for a couple months. Now he is back home playing soccer with the recently reincarnated San Diego Flash.
If the name sounds familiar, it should. The Flash competed from 1998 until 2001 as part of the A-League and produced among other things a pair of Major League Soccer stars in Jimmy Conrad and Joe Cannon. The Flash played its inaugural season at Southwestern College.
"When I returned from Austria I learned that they were starting up a new professional soccer team right here in San Diego, so I tried out and made the team and here I am," Lewis said prior to Tuesday's practice.
Unlike the multi-millionaires competing this summer in the FIFA World Cup, the players on the Flash need to find other ways to support themselves. So by day, Lewis works for his father's landscaping business, but once the evening rolls around, he puts down his rake and steps into his boots and heads out to the Balboa Stadium pitch.
"This is not about the money," he said. "I am playing just for the love of the sport."
So far, Lewis has been used effectively off the bench in the central midfield. He said he has been enjoying the experience.
"Things have been going real well," he said. "There is a good chemistry here. Not knowing a lot of these players going into it, I am making a lot of new friends."
Currently, the team is without a league. This season the Flash is playing a series of benefit exhibitions with the hope of joining a league next year. CEO Clenton Alexander came up with the idea of using the games to raise money and awareness for organ donation. Alexander spent eight years on kidney dialysis before receiving a donor kidney. It has completely transformed his life. He decided to use his soccer team to give something back. Building on Alexander's original idea the Flash have partnered with Make a Wish, Donate for Life, The Cardiovascular Disease Foundation, The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, The National Kidney Foundation, The National Multiple Sclerosis Society and, on Saturday, June 19, Kick for Hope which aids African children's charities.
Lewis is pleased to see his efforts on the field benefiting these various causes. He is hoping that the team will benefit and develop as well.
"Hopefully by next year we will have a regular league season," he said. "The ultimate goal in a couple years is to become part of MLS."
Saturday's match starts at 4 p.m. for the undefeated Flash. Tickets are $5. For more information, visit the Web site at www.sandiegoflashsoccer.com.

California's so-called parent trigger law gives parents the power to turn around failing schools, from converting a campus into a charter school to firing the principal. But a group that petitioned for a charter takeover of an elementary school in Compton Unified is stuck in a protracted court battle. Reporter: Ana Tintocalis
Today in Sacramento, the Assembly's Education Committee takes up a bill that would shift the final say on school overhauls to school boards.

Superb facility, awesome coaches and fantastic programs. I highly recommend Home Court to all kids, from those wanting to learn the game to the seasoned pros!
It is a privilege and gift to be able to have our sons partcipate in Home Court programs with a top-notch coaching staff. Our sons have been coached by Pat Scott and Danny Monares, alongside an assistant coaching staff comprised of some of the finest teenagers in our community, interviewed and carefully selected by Pat Scott. They are expected to exhibit and maintain stellar role model standards in all categories of life (not just the game of basketball) for the elementary school students who register for Home Court programs. Our 8 year old son has participated in about 6 Home Court clinics & camps to date. The fun, enjoyable, creative clinic activities and the Home Court coaching philosophy has helped teach him important LiFE SKILLS using the game of basketball as the object lessons and analogies, so to speak, in every Home Court session.
As a parent i have both my boys involved in a number of sports. By far the complete experience Home Court provides is superior to any training program or organized league i have been involved with. I know basketball pretty well and have played, volunteer coached and been exposed to many programs with a number of different philosophies. Home Court has broken the game down into a set of instructions, drills, coaching style, and consistent format with contstant reinforecment that builds solid well rounded basketball players! My oldest boy Shane who is 13 years of age, has been part of the Home Court program for the last 4 years. Shane has learning disabilities that makes it very difficult for him to hear and process multiple instructions. I never told the coaches or the Program Director about this as i wanted Shane to learn to adapt to his challenges on his own. I have been so impressed with his improvement and progress and have watched him execute on the basketball court in games the concepts that have been taught during training sessions. This is a true testiment to the program and my belief that it is one of the best around. Coaches coach players and consistently help them with positive reinforcement so even a kid like Shane can achieve success and build his confidence in his abilities. It goes beyond basketball skills as every coach in the program has taught Shane that repetition and hard work lead to good things!
Great overall program for helping kids develop athletic, leadership and general life skills. I would highly recommend this program to anyone
My son has benefited from the great coaching staff at Homecourt. The player to coach ratio is always small and they are very positive with the kids. They make it fun while still developing great basketball skills. Highly recommend their programs!
It was our son's first year to join Home Court, but He had a great time throughout the season. The corches have a lot of passon toward basketball and they are very enthusiastic and friendly to kids, and that makes a difference. We'd like to put him back again and also strongly recommend that you join Home Court if you think about any basketball league to play.
I am so pleased with the program at Home Court. I had been so upset by the inconsistency at other basketball programs that I was blown away by Home Courts program. My son was able to learn the fundamentals of the game and learn to actually play the game as well. I saw huge growth throughout the season because of the constant and consistent coaching that he received. They are very well organized and not overpriced. It was a great investment for my son! He loved it and would go all the time if he could.
Our son has participated in classes at Home Court NW for a couple of years now. We have always had nothing but positive experiences with this organization. The staff to student ratio is excellent. The staff are extremely knowledgeable and excel at working with kids. They teach the kids teamwork, team responsibility, and general sportsmanship. I've always seen a huge increase in my son's basketball skills as a result of attending the classes. Class time is used effectively and efficiently, staff are always prepared and start class on time.
Homecourt is a great organization for kids who love basketball. Their coaches and organizers run wonderful programs aimed at developing basketball skills. There are so many coaches who help out that you really get personal attention to your child. I would definitely recommend Homecourt to anyone.
I took two of my boys to Homecourt for league and they both had a great time. The staff there is awsome and although there is a wide range in ability they do a good job with all levels of hids. My kids both had a great experience.

polyxena intervenes to point out the blessings death will bring her.
polyxena, in Euripides's Hekuba, 360, bewails her anticipated lot as a slave.
Probably in this version, as in Dictys, Achilles was in love with polyxena, and was treacherously slain while wooing her.
He demands that the daughter of Priam, the virgin polyxena, should be immolated on his tomb.
polyxena, the youngest sister, was sacrificed on the tomb of Achilles, and poor old Hecuba went mad with grief.
Then the curtain in front of one of the tents was raised, and the virgin polyxena appeared.
Ulysses is sent by the Greeks to inform Hecuba that her daughter polyxena must be sacrificed.
polyxena gently, but resolutely, removed the old arms which held her.
The Greeks therefore, in honor to their hero, tore polyxena from Hecuba, and offered her up in sacrifice.
At polyxena's request he later restores the body of Hector to Priam.

My Nikon CoolPix digital camera helps me capture the moments that would be significant or important later on in my life. I can always look back and relive that memory.
hamrhead's recommendation
Kate Moss has nothing on this camera. I know, she's providing the hype for the newer models, but still... This is the perfect LITTLE camera for taking everywhere to capture the moment. Easy to use, nice resolution, great size. Pick one up while you still can.
alliebeau's recommendation
When you drink like I do, you need a camera to capture the bulk of the evening's events. This camera is perfectly sized for a night on the town, and takes stunning, 5.1 megapix photos. The video quality isn't shabby either. Plenty of options for taking optimal photos, including the red-eye reduction flash which consistently keeps eyes un-demon-like in photos. The memory card should slide right in your laptop or photo printer, making this a very easy and functional camera. So easy a drunk could use it! And does!

I Want To Eat This Adorable Cat Face
Look, I wouldn't really eat a cat. Or a cat face. But there are no words for how scrumptiously adorable this little cross-eyed tabby cat is. This is Jarvis P. Weasely, a stray brought to the Saving Grace Animal Rescue in San Francisco, California, when he was just four weeks old. That's where a woman named Daria found him, and decided to foster him. She explained:
"I used to oversee the kitten fostering program at Oakland Animal Services (OAS) a few years back. When I would go to the shelter, I would always look in on Jarvis because he was soooo adorable and scruffy. I was fostering kittens at my house but I couldn't take him home as he had a bad URI… Some days he would vertically leap around the kennel which I always assumed were jumps for joy, but more likely he saw ghost. Once the kittens were out of my house, I brought him home to 'foster'. He never left! He is here, has a home, drives me crazy, and is loved immensely."
Jarvis has a slight depth perception problem, thanks to the lazy eye, but is otherwise perfectly healthy and happy. And super, super cute. [LoveMeow]

Magical night for Batum and the Blazers
Through three quarters, it looked as though the Portland Trail Blazers would sink further into malaise with a loss to yet another team far below them in the standings.
But furious fourth quarter performances from LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum, Wesley Matthews and Thomas Robinson lifted the Trail Blazers to a 110-94 victory over the Orlando Magic Wednesday night at the Moda Center.
"Well we need that one," said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts. "I was pleased for a lot of reasons. I thought our defense to start the game, our defense in the fourth quarter obviously was very good. Thomas Robinson came in and gave us nice energy in the fourth quarter. Wes carried us midway through the second half and LA was great all night."

Written on: 23/07/2007 by KMM (3 reviews written)
Good Points
This festival was new in 2006 but every effort had been made to cater for every requirement.
Excellent toilets both in the arena and the campsite.
Large marquees hosting the two main stages
Great setting and a really picturesque walk from the camspite to the arena in the daytime
Good shop in the campsite
Bad Points
Food was a bit too 'burger van' for me
The timing of the acts between the two main stages meant that there was a rush from one to the other - might be better to overlap the performances and force people to choose.
Some of the better stalls e.g. the music stall were pitched in an area that saw little trade from what I could see.
Lighting after dark (particularly back to the campsite) was poor
Why do festivals bother with funfairs?
General Comments
For a first, The Acoustic Festival of Britain wasn't a bad little festival - numbers were probably less than the organisers were expecting, as the weather wasn't too good which probably put a few locals off. However there was a good line-up to appeal to most tastes and I notice they have pulled out some crackers for 2007 so will watch what other people think of this year's event with interest.

Stadium looks to field another Tacoma team on the rise. The Tigers finished in sixth-place in the highly-competitive 4A Narrows league in 2013 and coach Barry Fretwell sees a group of returning players that has put in the work to climb higher in the standings this season. Leading the team are senior pitcher Jake Vieth and senior catcher Matt Gunn, who both hit over .400 last year. Fretwell says they look even stronger this spring. Senior pitcher/outfielder Michael Van Orden returns after batting .382 and look for breakout seasons from sophomores Tyler "Smurf" Mick and Jacob Hinkle. With a strong offensive lineup, solid defense and pitching, look for the Tigers to move up in 2014.
Wilson was the top Tacoma team in the 3A Narrows in 2013 finishing in fourth place and advancing to the playoffs. Coach Doug Rupe believes he has the makings of an all-around competitor this year and expects every game to be a good matchup for the Rams. Senior pitcher Brady O'Keefe, a second-team Narrows selection last year, has the ability to keep Wilson in the game whenever he's on the mound. Senior leadoff hitter Thomas Norisahn was a second-team Narrows pick and is one of the team's best gloves and fast on the base-path. Junior infielder and first team Narrows selection Matt Stortini may be the "best defensive baseball player I have ever seen in high school," said Rupe. Curtis High School transfer John Halseth takes over at first base and brings a power bat to the middle of the Rams lineup. With a trio of senior pitchers – O'Keefe, Jared Horner and Evan Stout, along with talented sophomore Mack Larson – Wilson plans on going after opposition batters with a steady diet of strikes backed-up by a solid defense. Sophomore Noah Hill takes over behind the plate and is expected to excel calling games for the Rams.
Foss finished in the middle of the 3A Narrows pack last season and coach Roy Young sees potential for a step up the ladder. With five solid seniors returning-catcher Ryan Phillips (two-time all-league), pitcher Marcus Ransom, pitcher Omar Morris, first baseman Brady Todhunter and outfielder Erik DeRusha, coach Young will field a veteran group ready to battle for a league or even a district playoff spot. Keep an eye out for sophomore utility player Austin Eisenmenger.
The Lincoln Abes are going to have to grow up real quick this season. Coach Ron Gee starts just one senior, Zach Bennett, who will at times be counted on to play nearly every position on the field. Junior shortstop and sophomore pitcher Mark Jones were both second-team Narrows selections last year. The Abes only won two games in 2013 and will rely upon new blood and enthusiasm to improve upon that mark. Look for sophomore Devan Brady and freshmen Austin Music, Zavier Huebner and Caleb Ford to step up for Lincoln.
New coach Todd Roos has high expectations for the Mount Tahoma Thunderbirds this season. The squad returns five solid seniors: shortstop Kasey Baily, pitcher Garret Granvold, third baseman Kyle Couture, catcher Kyle Bailey and outfielder Lawrence Cade-Batek. New faces expected to step up are junior Kasey Hanipale and freshman Garret Rohrs. Coach Roos is counting on his experienced players to improve upon the teams three victories from 2013 and has set a team goal to make the Narrows 3A playoffs this year. Fun fact – Roos has fewer names to remember with two Kyles, two Kaseys, two Garrets and two Baileys on the team.
The Charles Wright Terriers and Life Christian Eagles will again field a joint squad this season as the CWA/LCA "A's" and compete in the 1A Nisqually league. The A's boast two 2013 Tacoma Weekly All-City selections in senior pitcher Taylor Roeloffs and junior second baseman Drex Davis. Junior shortstop Sam Absten was a second-team Nisqually pick along with sophomore catcher Henry Cheney. Coaches Tyler Francis and Gregg Leach expect the A's to challenge for the league title as well as a run in the 1A state playoffs.
Crusaders coach Kraig Gillman must refill some slots on the 2014 squad, as six starters graduated last year from the Sea-Tac League champs. Last season TBS fell one game short of making the state tournament and Gillman doesn't see his team dropping off. Cool and calm senior shortstop/pitcher Tommie Brazile, a first team all-league pick, returns along with number one pitcher BJ Peterson, a junior. Look for breakout seasons from senior center fielder Kavon Yazdi and all-league basketball player junior Dayton Pascua, who returns to baseball after a two-year hiatus. Freshmen Seth Talen and Ryan Ratliff are both expected to make an immediate impact. "We have a young, energetic, hard-working group of guys who believe they can compete with anybody," Gillman said.

The Price Area is not the best but did the job.
Nice people and very kind plus I'm disabled and was treated like a king perfect handicap room Everything perfect
You get what u pay for but still this could have been cheaper Where it is at, the location is horrible
nothing The Motel is operating unethically. The rooms we booked were never cleaned. I delivered roaches to hotel staff daily. They responded to our concern by giving us a can of bug spray. The manager told us to book more expensive accommodations.
The staff was nice...but that's the only positive thing I have to say. It was a sh!thole! Sheets were stained, TWO tiny towels, NO washcloths, no closet, no smoke alarm AND there were exposed wires hanging from where it should be. No toiletries, either.
The staff here was very nice. Check in and check out were very quick. Location was very convenient to the Greyhound station. Was a little noisy.
Room space could've been bigger
When asked to have my room cleaned they did a very good job. At one point in the night there was no parking other then that everything was ok.The staff was nice.
Not a far drive from the Staples Center. Bugs and roaches were able to come in from under the door. I was flipping through the channels and had no idea there was going to be porn. I was horrified and quickly changed it. What made this worse is that my 8 year old daughter was there.
nothing good they were mean and woke me up at 7am just to say we didnt pay when we reserved the room 2 days earlier and it took me 2 Hrs at help desk at that early in morning all for them to find out i dÃd pay. Horrible service dont stay
location the sealed window not allow fresh air in
It was relatively inexpensive. There was no deadbolt or additional latch on the door. As a female traveling alone, this is a big deal.
No bed bugs. Ac worked. Holes in the walls, no hot water once, no hair dryer, no toilet roll holder, TV would shut itself off when air cycled on, million years old carpet and comforter, plastic still on mattress and box spring.
the people were as nice as the price :) well .. they don't have a fridge nor do they have an ice machine
Nothing really Location was not good, the place was dirty, smelled of weed
A/C worked. clean sheets very dirty floor, bedding comforter filthy , paint unfinished on walls, toilet seat scrubbed through paint. Took 5 minutes to get hot water at shower head. No toilet paper roll holder.One damn cable T.V. station in spanish. ETC...

Is your summer sadly lacking in valor and majesty so far? Fear not! Our friends at Crackle are kick-starting the season with SUMMER OF HEROES, four whole weeks of heroic action movies. And the fun doesn't stop there. Every hero needs a theme song, so Crackle collaborated with popular Chicago rock band I Fight Dragons to create an appropriately heroic original anthem. Today, the "Summer of Heroes" music video debuts exclusively on Roku – add SUMMER OF HEROES to your Crackle Watchlist and check it out!
We recently had the pleasure of chatting with I Fight Dragons lead singer Brian Mazzaferri about binge streaming, killer space robots, and the band's upcoming album. Check out our convo below.
You've weathered some epic adventures as a band, building an impressive fan base and crowd-funding an album along the way. Tell us about the journey leading up to the "Summer of Heroes" song and video.
Brian: It has indeed been an epic journey. Whether fighting killer space robots, battling ancient dragonlords, or playing rock shows from Bellingham, WA to Orlando, FL, we've had a blast every step of the way. When we first thought to combine chiptune and "rock and roll" music back in 2009, we never could have anticipated what we were in for. We've also had an adventure-fueled run through the major label system and miraculously come out the other end in pretty good shape, and with our Project Atma kickstarter having gone so well last month, we're pretty psyched about what the future holds.
When the Crackle team approached us about writing a song for a ridiculously awesome slate of movies on Crackle we moved heaven and earth (mostly earth) to make it happen, and we love how it all came out.
Your Facebook page describes you as "a band made up of robots disguised as people," and you battle hipster zombies in the music video for "cRaZie$." Do you have any secret superhuman powers?
Brian: Yes. But if we told you what they were, then we'd have to use our super secret death ray vision to kill you. Wait… Dangit.
What are your favorite superhuman/superhero TV shows and movies? Have any of them inspired your music?
Brian: Yes. Growing up I was addicted to X-Men cartoons, as well as basically any superhero cartoon or movie that came on. I was a huge fan of the original Superman movie, as well as Superman III (the best Superman movie largely due to it's realistic portrayal of the power of computer hackers and specifically naive ones like Richard Pryor). We actually had a song on our first EP called "No One Likes Superman Anymore" which in case you couldn't tell was inspired by one of the things I just mentioned (hint: it's not X-Men). I'm also a voracious consumer of the current glut of superhero movies that have come out in the past decade. I love them all, even (especially?) the bad ones.
Roku is all about streaming what you want, when you want. In fact, we're seeing now that the majority of streamers are watching marathon-style or "binge" viewing multiple episodes. Have you ever watched an entire series all in one sitting? What's on your Crackle Watchlist right now?
Brian: I would say that I almost exclusively watch things binge style…the vast majority of my TV/movie consumption has the vibe of GIMME ALL OF IT NAO. My biggest binge ever was probably when I watched the entire Battlestar Galactica series in a few weeks. I had a similar binge for Avatar: The Last Airbender. As far as my Crackle Watchlist goes, I've got the Marvel Anime movies and Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children in there as well as Resident Evil and Underworld – classics that I still remember seeing in theaters.
All-time favorite TV/movie quotes? And if you could be known for a one-liner, what would that be?
Brian: Any quote of Arnold's beats any other quote in my book. I have been known to quote Total Recall completely out of context – things like "See you at the party, Richter" or "Consider that a divorce." If I had a one liner it would probably be something pretty gnarly involving robots and magic – maybe "Die, RoboWizard Scum!" …I'll keep working on it.
That's pretty good – it's all in the delivery. What are the top 5 songs on your summer playlist right now? Do you use music services like Pandora, Spotify or iHeartRadio?
Brian: I'm a Spotify listener myself, but I've been known to dabble in Pandora. I tend to do more albums than songs, but I've been listening to a lot of Muse, Amanda Palmer, Regina Spektor, Jellyfish, and Jukebox The Ghost lately. Pretty random stuff.
Speaking of random stuff, if you had to pick an actor to play each of you in the big screen story of I Fight Dragons, who would you choose?
Brian: I'm just going to choose for everyone, so ha ha:
- Brian – Hugh Jackman
- Bill – Michael Fassbender
- Packy – James Marsden
- Chad – Vin Diesel
- Hari – Neil Patrick Harris
Well chosen. What's next for I Fight Dragons? Do you have a tour planned to promote the upcoming album?
Brian: Well we're writing more songs for the album now, then we'll record in August and September, then we'll probably do a little bit of touring around the album release in December! It's going to be a fun year!

Hayden Panettiere isn't Lindsay Lohan
Hayden Panettiere (the cheerleader from Heroes) got pissed after she was mistaken for Lindsay Lohan Tuesday night while leaving L'Scorpion in Hollywood. A confused onlooker across the street shouted, "Give 'em hell Lindsay!" and Hayden screamed back, "Don't ever call me that again!"
I guess being confused with Lindsay Lohan is pretty much the ultimate insult for girls now. Right up there with "When's the baby due?" and "Hey look, it's Pauly Shore!"

I was delighted to read your response. Thank you for providing so much detail and source information.
I have a related question involving this family, and pertinent to the original poster, who is descended of Ruth Whelden Taylor.
It's about who Ruth married-- which Richard. From my examination of the various records regarding the two Richard Taylors of Yarmouth and the supposedly two Ruths, I remain unconvinced that there were two Ruths and seriously question which Richard Taylor she married. (Sorry win1234.)
pjsears, it's possible that you have no interest in Ruth's marriage, but if you do (and if anyone else does, especially win1234), I invite you to read my query about the "Two Ruths" here:
And if I'm wrong, I'll be happily proven so. Emphasis on proof.

2007.223: Newton's Method in Floating Point Arithmetic and Iterative Refinement of Generalized Eigenvalue Problems
2007.223: Françoise Tisseur Tisseur (2001) Newton's Method in Floating Point Arithmetic and Iterative Refinement of Generalized Eigenvalue Problems. SIAM Journal on Matrix Analysis and Applications, 22 (4). pp. 1038-1057. ISSN 1095-7162

We examine the behavior of Newton's method in floating point arithmetic, allowing for extended precision in computation of the residual, inaccurate evaluation of the Jacobian and unstable solution of the linear systems. We bound the limiting accuracy and the smallest norm of the residual. The application that motivates this work is iterative refinement for the generalized eigenvalue problem. We show that iterative refinement by Newton's method can be used to improve the forward and backward errors of computed eigenpairs.

Standards and samples are added to the wells, and any TREM-2 / TREM2 present binds to the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed and a horseradish peroxidase conjugated mouse anti-TREM-2 / TREM2 monoclonal antibody is then added, producing an antibody-antigen-antibody "sandwich". The wells are again washed and TMB substrate solution is loaded, which produces color in proportion to the amount of TREM-2 / TREM2 present in the sample.

Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells 2 ( TREM2 ) is a single Ig domain receptor. It is expressed on macrophages and dendritic cells but not on granulocytes or monocytes. Its expression is most abundant in the basal ganglia, corpus callosum, medulla oblongata and spinal cord, and microglial cells are the major TREM2-producing cell type in the central nervous system (CNS). TREM2 may play a role in chronic inflammations and may stimulate production of constitutive rather than inflammatory chemokines and cytokines. TREM2 forms a receptor signaling complex with TYROBP and triggers activation of the immune responses in macrophages and dendritic cells. It also associates with the signal adapter protein, DAP12, which has a cytoplasmic ITAM, leading to the subsequent activation of cytoplasmic tyrosine kinases. TREM2 is both required and sufficient for competent uptake of apoptotic neuronal cells. TREM2 and TREM2-L form a receptor-ligand pair connecting microglia with apoptotic neurons, directing removal of damaged cells to allow repair. Deficiency of the adapter protein DAP12 or its associated receptor TREM2 is associated with abnormal osteoclast development in humans. Defects in TREM2 are causes of PLOSL, also known as NHD. In addition, TREM2 signaling is also an important pathway to promote healing of wounds in the colon where stem cell replacement is necessary.

|Re: FYI: SVN Observations
|Colin Sampaleanu

My general experience has been that TortoiseSVN is quite good. We've had
a few issues even when using it, but generally they are annoyances (i.e.
there is a bit of breakage once in a while requiring a clean, but no big
surprises). The oinly other niggle with TortoiseSVN is that renames,
even through Tortoise, show up as a delete and a new checkin, which
defeats the whole purpose of subversion having real file tracking across
renames. Subclipse on the other hand seems completely unusable in real
use. All the stuff Geoff mentions plus a number of other things. I
wouldn't trust it for a second.. Admittedly, I haven't tried plugging in
the alternative JavaSVN java bindings instead of the default javahl. As
for the IDEA plugin, I don't have any personal experience using it (I
use eclipse). But one developer using IDEA with our svn repo somebody
using IDEA managed to completely break things for all other users on one
part of the source tree. Checking out would get some mysterious error,
and no amount of local work would fix things. I finally had to kill that
part of the source tree.
So I have a decent amount of respect for subversion, and a generally positive experience with TortoiseSVN, but the IDE integration seems to be far from usable. Given the need to do refactoring or other day to day use in the IDE, I can't honestly reccomend SVN to people right now...

Geoff thanks for publishing this detailed list of problems. Unfortunately I am not a Tapestry developer and when I was posting about this (having to agree that the level of detail was far from yours) nobody payed attention to it. I am discussing this subject for quite a while, but till now I get only assurance that the things will become better in the next few [put whatever term you like here]. In the same line with your conclusion, even if SVN is a very good tool and there are some tools out there that makes working with it quite nice (I would quote TortoiseSVN - n.a.: i am not associated with), from the pov of Eclipse development there is no way I would migrate a project from cvs to svn. (moreover I have the same feedback from IntelliJ IDEA users). cheers, :alex |.::the_mindstorm::.| #: by Geoff Longman's words the mind was *winged* :#I've been using Eclipse 3.1 final + svn 1.2.1 + subclipse 0.3.9 for two weeks now and here is what I have found. All these observations are from use in Eclipse so I guess the niggles are all due to the implementation of subclipse (i hope). My use is not an 'experiment'. I'm working in a team of 4 developers on a substantial project. Syncing occurs more than 10 times a day. 1. SVN ignore files are not respected at all. ever. This is reallyreally annoying as each developer needs to create personalized versions of a few spring xml files (and a hibernate properties file)from templates. Since SVN ignore files are not respected the custom files show up in the synchronize view ever time and have to be manually removed from the view before committing. After a week and a half I found a workaround. Right click on each file, choose properties, and select the 'derived' flag. This setting is workspace dependant and can't be shared via the repository so each developer has to set the flag for each file in their workspace. 2. Quite often if another developer adds or removes a file in the repository, that change *will not* appear in my workbench when I sync up. This results in broken workbench builds. With some detective work you realize that a change didn't show up and you can resync a few times until the change appears. Even then only the package will appear as changed. We are all working the same room so it has become an informal policy to announce verbally such changes so everybody knows their next sync will be problematic. 3. In the subclispe commit dialog you have to explicitly check a box to add a new file. This is exactly the opposite to the cvs experience where one would exclude a file you don't want to commit(add) by removing it from the synch view *before* invoking the commit dialog. Several times I've committed a set of files only to discover that the new files didn't go in because I didn't check the box in the commit dialog. 4. We tried to share Java formatter settings by using the project specific preferences feature in Eclipse. That would allow us to avoid sharing an export separately and then manually importing the settings. Doing the puts a .somethingorother file in the root of the project. This failed spectacularly. The user who shares the .somethingorother file is ok but anybody else who tried to sync up found that jvm crashes causing eclipse to go poof. The cause was JNI problems with the svn native bindings. There are other niggles that I have not experience personally so I can't comment on them. That said, the above problems man that the transition from cvs to svn in Eclipse is not seamless. Hindsight is 20/20 but,knowing what I know now, if I had joined this team before they moved from cvs to svn I would have fought it vigorously. Lastly, the other users in my group are not Eclipse veterans so I have to repeatedly explain that it was not Eclipse that sucked. Rather it is the subclipse plugin implementation that sucks.

text: OverviewBack to top GoodKind - Natural Coffee Creamer Classic Original - 8 oz. Item# :112573UPC# :858049002000 Brand:GoodKind Size/Form:8 oz. Ship Weight:0.61 Servings:45 Dosage:3 Teaspoon(s) Flavor:Classic Original GoodKind Classic Original Natural Coffee Creamer - 8 oz. (227g) GoodKind created the Classic Original Natural Coffee Creamer flavor by blending cream and non-fat milk powders with a small amount of organic sugar to produce the rich taste of half and half, but with less than 20% of the fat. The secret is the organic sugar, which acts as a flavor enhancer - making the GoodKind Classic Original Natural Coffee Creamer taste "creamier", but without adding any noticeable sweetness. Good Kind Classic Original Natural Coffee Creamer is perfect for work, home, or travel! GoodKind Natural Coffee Creamer is the natural alternative to artificial coffee creamers. GoodKind Natural Coffee Creamer does not contain any artificial flavors, colors or preservatives! The Natural Alternative to Artificial Coffee Creamers: GMO- and rBST-free No trans-fat No artificial colors, flavors or preservatives No hydrogenated oils No refrigeration needed Contains vitamin based anti-oxidants (E and C) A great source of calcium Gluten free Made in USA And, it tastes great! Why Natural?Like you, the people at GoodKind enjoy drinking coffee and they want the taste of natural cream in their coffee without having to worry about refrigeration, spoilage, etc. That's why GoodKind created a delicious, natural alternative to artificial coffee creamers. Now we can all enjoy the combination of quality ingredients and easy-to-use convenience in one simple package. Perfect for the office, home or travel. Frequently Asked Questions Q: What does GoodKind mean by All-Natural?GoodKind uses no artificial flavorings or preservatives, and their milk is certified free of artificial hormones like rBST. GoodKind's creamers are made from real milk and cream. GoodKind uses natural vanilla flavor and organic cane sugar for their vanilla creamers, and to prevent spoilage GoodKind uses natural forms of Vitamins E and C. That's the entire ingredients list! Q: Why does GoodKind use organic sugar in the plain version?GoodKind uses a very small amount of organic cane sugar in the plain version (an amount roughly equivalent to the size of a pencil eraser per serving) because it acts as a flavor enhancer, much like a small amount of salt does on savory food. This enhances the flavor of the cream and allows GoodKind to lower the overall fat content of each serving. GoodKind uses certified organic cane sugar because they decided that if they're going to add sugar it was important to them that it be organic. Q: Is GoodKind planning to introduce fully organic versions of the product?Yes. GoodKind originally started out with the intent of producing a fully organic version, but the product would have been incredibly expensive at retail and the only way to bring the costs down was to produce it in very large amounts. Once GoodKind establishes a big enough presence in the marketplace and can generate sufficient volume they plan on introducing organic versions of the products. Q: What is a Tocopherol or Ascorbyl Palmitate?Tocopherols are natural forms of Vitamin E. The most abundant form of Vitamin E appearing in the human body is alpha-tocopherol, and it is this form that our bodies utilize most readily. Ascorbyl Palmitate, similarly, is a naturally occurring form of Vitamin C. The reason GoodKind uses these vitamins in their creamers is that they are natural antioxidants, and they help prevent GoodKind's creamers from spoiling. This allows GoodKind to leave out any artificial preservatives and other synthetic compounds used in other instant creamers. Q: Does GoodKind plan on producing lactose or soy free creamers?GoodKind understands there are a large number of people who can't tolerate either soy and/or lactose and they want to provide a good-tasting high-quality alternative for them as well. Once GoodKind has completed the initial launch of their dairy products, their goal is to introduce a non-dairy, non-soy version of the creamers. GoodKind has considered rice milk and hemp milk as a base, but they'd love your input about the best choices for a non-dairy or non-soy GoodKind product. Please use GoodKind's contact page or join them on Facebook to contribute your suggestions! Q: Are GoodKind Natural Coffee Creamers gluten free?Yes, all of GoodKind's creamers are gluten free! GoodKind's Values: GoodKind is committed to providing their customers with a premium natural coffee creamer that is unique, satisfying, nutritious, and convenient. GoodKind chooses only the best natural and organic ingredients because they are better for the environment and for all of us living in it. GoodKind strives to be a socially responsible business and uses sustainable ingredient sourcing and recyclable packaging. GoodKind is a small company that values and respects theircustomers, employees, suppliers, and shareholders. GoodKind's BeginningsThe people of GoodKind were sitting in a restaurant drinking coffee one day, and along with the sugar came some fresh cold cream. They began imagining how great it would be to have that same natural cream flavor, but with the ease and convenience of an instant coffee creamer. They realized that while there were plenty of artificial cream substitutes, there were no natural creamers that fit with everyone's dynamic lifestyles. The people of GoodKind wanted a high quality, natural coffee creamer that they could use anywhere - home, office or travel - and never have to worry about refrigeration. That's when the idea of GoodKind was born.
