Updated: Comment #5
Far more core issues are filed against "base system" than anything else -- as of this writing, 900 total open issues, with 70 of them unresolved majors or criticals. The label is so vague, and the category so broad, that it makes it difficult to triage this queue, identify stakeholders, etc.
The maintainers for "base system" in MAINTAINERS.txt are:
Base system
- Károly Négyesi 'chx' http://drupal.org/user/9446
- Damien Tournoud 'DamZ' http://drupal.org/user/22211
- Moshe Weitzman 'moshe weitzman' http://drupal.org/user/23
- Kat Bailey 'katbailey' http://drupal.org/user/172987
- Larry Garfield 'Crell' http://drupal.org/user/26398
All people who deal with low-level plumbing, for sure. But what, in particular? And can these people really provide maintainership for so many issues?
Base system is not:
- The installer (has a separate entry)
- Routing (has a separate entry)
Base system might include:
- Bootstrap
- The kernel
- The container
- Stuff in
core/includesthat doesn't have its own listing, especially stuff from
- Stuff in
Drupal\Corethat doesn't have its own listing.
- Stuff for
Drupal\Core, or
system.modulethat got misfiled.
- Stuff people don't know how to file.
- General requests for new features, policies, etc.
Proposed resolution
Let's refine the "base system" component.
- Identify specific sub-categories that could be added as separate components:
- Look for patterns in the "base system" queue.
- Identify components in
core/includesthat do not have their own listings, and determine which (if not all) could be added as their own component.
- Get feedback from "base system" maintainers and core developers.
- Add these components to 3060.
- Add these components to MAINTANERS.txt, and identify maintainers for them.
- Triage the "base system" queue to move relevant issues to new (or existing) components where appropriate.

Comment #1Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commented
+1 in concept. I don't quite know what "base system" means. :-) I was added largely because most of the stuff I've been working on for WSCCI touches all the things, but that doesn't mean I'm really a core generalist at the moment.
Comment #1.0Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commented
Updated issue summary.
Comment #3chx CreditAttribution: chx commented
There's a lot of nimby going on with this one.
Comment #6Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commented
chx: No NIMBY. Just figuring out how we can scale properly.
xjm: That's probably a good first step. It still doesn't help define what "Base system" means, though, unless the end goal is to eliminate "Base system" as a thing.
Comment #8chx CreditAttribution: chx commented
Crell, I meant that the base system is often nimby itself. Not that this issue is. Ie. people will throw issues in there just so someone else can deal with it.
Comment #9Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commented
chx: Ah, gotcha. I think you're right, which is why breaking it up better is a good thing. :-)

Attached patch just splits Kat and I out of "base system" to a new DI section. I'll ping Kat for a +1.
Comment #11msonnabaum CreditAttribution: msonnabaum commented
Having a "Dependency Injection" system seems really wrong to me. The important bit is part of bootstrap, the rest isn't worth an entry.
Comment #12chx CreditAttribution: chx commented
Also.. with all possible humility, why are you leaving me out of that? (Aside from the fact I am on core vacation.) I think I have my hand in the DrupalKernel quite enough....
Comment #13katbailey CreditAttribution: katbailey commented
I have to agree with Mark - the idea of a Dependency Injection system as a separately maintainable system does not make much sense to me.
Comment #14Damien Tournoud CreditAttribution: Damien Tournoud commented
To be honest, I don't think we can do much better then "base system". This includes the early bootstrap, the kernel and container, the extension system and a few other related subsystems (secure PHP include support, multisite support via the settings subsystem, the
Drupal global class). All of those are strongly related if not strongly interdependent, and this is by design.
Everything else I consider not being part of the "base system", and that includes most of
common.inc and the HTTP rendering pipeline.
Comment #15Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commented
chx: Well, I think that points to the challenge here. Where does "DI system" end and "core bootstrap" end? It's not at all a clear distinction.
Damien: So perhaps we need to split out "bootstrap" from base system, and let base system continue as "the other stuff"? Is that what you're suggesting?
Comment #17Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commented
What exactly is HTTP pipeline, and how does it differ from routing or sessions? (Sessions are cookies, which are are part of HTTP.)
Comment #19Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commented
I did, but it didn't really clear it up for me. :-) Hence my question. I know I've used the term "HTTP pipeline" in casual conversation a lot, but that doesn't necessarily provide guidance for people to know where to assign an issue. Eg, what is routing other than "handling of HTTP requests"?
Comment #21msonnabaum CreditAttribution: msonnabaum commented
Yeah, pipeline might not be the right word, but it does seem like there's a category for handling of http requests and responses.
Comment #22Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commented
So what about "HTTP handling" (which would involve most things relating to HttpFoundation and HttpKernel, including cookies and sessions) and "Routing" (which is specifically things that happen inside the RouterListener and down, which is a fair bit).
(I'm probably a maintainer on both of those at the moment, but they could have different co-maintainers.)
Comment #23msonnabaum CreditAttribution: msonnabaum commented
I think it may be worth separating sessions. Also, I'd consider content negotiation in http-whatever.
Comment #24Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commented
Why would sessions, which are just applied cookies and we want to be using HttpFoundation for, be is own component?
(Not that I want to have to deal with sessions, especially given testbot, but I don't get why it's not part of HTTP.)
Comment #27Damien Tournoud CreditAttribution: Damien Tournoud commented
Session is part of Authentication, which should be part of the Authentication/Authorization subsystem, IMO.
I would like to see Bootstrap and Module merged into a Base system category, too.
Comment #29Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commented
Auth/Auth I can see making sense. I'd be against merging Module into base, though. The way I see it, each subsystem should be thought of as reasonably self-contained. That's just good architecture. Modules should be self-contained away from the base "boot up, find controller, return" process. It should not be tightly coupled. (It may be at the moment; I'm fine with setting an aspirational structure for us to drift further toward.)
Comment #30Damien Tournoud CreditAttribution: Damien Tournoud commented
@Crell: Early bootstrap, the kernel and container, settings, the multi-site code, the class loader, the extension systems are all coupled by design. All those are part of a single entity, even if of course you can (and should) try to separate the responsibilities inside it cleanly.
If we want a different name then "base system" for those, I would suggest "bootstrap system".
Comment #31msonnabaum CreditAttribution: msonnabaum commented
Agreed, all that is coupled by design, so it naturally fits in bootstrap. Module's is more of a grey area, but I lean towards it just being part of bootstrap.
Comment #37alexpott CreditAttribution: alexpott commented
+1 to clarifying and splitting up the nebulous catch-all that is "base system"
I'm leaning towards DamZ's and msonnabaum's view that module could be included in bootstrap since I think that an essential part of "booting up" is reading system.module.yml and system.theme.yml and doing the right thing. I can see that installing, disabling (may it go away) and uninstalling are a grey area for some, but again, I think these operations are intimately tied to the bootstrap process since any major change in this functionality will affect the bootstrap process too.
Not yet sure what I think about "HTTP handling system (or whatever)"
I'm in agreement with adding these:
- Asset library system
- Authentication and authorization system
- Bootstrap system
Comment #38Damien Tournoud CreditAttribution: Damien Tournoud commented
I could see a "Request processing" system as a super set of "HTTP handling". Right now all the requests the poor system is able to handle are HTTP requests (mainly because the Bootstrap system itself is critically broken), but that should not be that way. Console requests, queue processing, etc. should all be handled by the same pipeline (as they are in most mature frameworks).
Comment #40Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commented
I'm comfortable with Request Processing (which would encompass HttpFoundation/HttpKernel and the stuff we have hanging off of those, basically).
Comment #42Crell CreditAttribution: Crell commented
Does "routing" get absorbed into "request processing"?
Either way, I should probably get moved out of base system then and into request processing.

Peter Barca Responds To Governor's State Of The State
Episode Transcript
Frederica Freyberg:
The minority party isn't wowed by the governor's plan of action. In the Democrat's response to the speech assembly minority leader, Peter Barca, pointed to how the surplus was amassed.
Peter Barca:
The surplus partly came from historic cuts to public schools and job training at technical colleges. The surplus was, in part, created by raising taxes on the people who could least afford it. The surplus was taken from local communities that provide public safety and other basic services. And now Governor Walker proposes irresponsibly spending much of that surplus on what many have called election year gimmicks that bring his growing structural deficit above $800 million, $100 more than we're beginning. I would think the last thing most Wisconsinites would want is to once again return to the conditions Governor Walker used to justify dividing our state and causing massive disruptions in people's lives. And here's been the result. The laws passed in this capitol during three years under Governor Walker and the Republicans have not created the jobs we expected. Wisconsin has fallen from 11th in the nation to 37th in the nation in job creation in the past three years. Republicans cut 30% of state funding to technical colleges, one of the most valuable institutions in our state, especially in a time of high unemployment and workers seeking job training for a new career. Let's never forget, tech colleges are a Wisconsin original. They were first opened here in Wisconsin in 1911 and copied throughout the nation. Republicans made historic cuts to public schools, while forcing taxpayers to pay the tuition for families that, in most cases, were already attending private schools. Irresponsibly Republicans chose to kick people off of healthcare even though it cost Wisconsin taxpayers millions more and would have created tens of thousands of healthcare jobs. Make no mistake, Democrats were upset when Republicans raised taxes on struggling families and seniors who want to stay in their homes. Then, in a time of surplus, Republicans raise property taxes. So we believe a substantial part of the surplus should be used to relieve property taxes, taxes Governor Walker raised in this current budget.
Frederica Freyberg:
Assembly minority leader, Peter Barca, of Kenosha.

The stricken US regional bank National City Corporation succumbed yesterday to a $5.6bn (£3.5bn) buyout by its rival PNC after suffering a slide in investor confidence over its exposure to toxic mortgages.
National City is based in the Ohio city of Cleveland, where the housing market has been badly affected by the American sub-prime home loans crisis. The bank has suffered losses over five consecutive quarters, culminating in a $729m deficit announced this week.
Under the terms of the deal, PNC is paying $2.23 a share for National City, which began the year with a stock price of more than $16.
The transaction is the latest in a series of buyouts of loss-making high-street banks, including those affecting Wachovia and Washington Mutual.
Founded in 1845, National City is a familiar name throughout the American midwest. It employs 29,000 people. A combination with the Pittsburgh-based PNC will create a bank ranking fifth in the US by deposits, and fourth by branches. Both sides characterised the deal as a strategic fit, rather than a fire sale.
Peter Raskind, National City's chairman, said: "This transaction is about two companies that fit well together in terms of geography, products and services."
But there is little doubt that National City faces significant financial challenges, largely arising from a former mortgage subsidiary named First Financial. Earlier in the week Raskind admitted that the economic environment had remained tough: "It probably gets worse before it gets better."
PNC, meanwhile, revealed that it intended to take advantage of the US treasury's programme of investments in banking shares. It is selling $7.7bn worth of stock and warrants to the government to bolster its balance sheet.
Analysts welcomed National City's takeover. David Havens, a credit desk analyst at UBS, told Bloomberg News: "It certainly beats having these troubled banks end up being taken over by the government."

Despite facing a tough challenge to unseat incumbent Democrat Governor Andrew Cuomo and receiving no support from the RGA chair, Governor Chris Christie, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal came to NYC on Thursday to back Astorino as well as hosting a fundraiser. During the news conference on Thursday, Jindal endorsed the fellow republican with two issues attacking President Obama and Governor Cuomo on Ebola and Common Core.
Jindal slammed President Obama for his incompetence, calling it malpractice and calling out Governor Cuomo for failing to be proactive in New York during this time of crisis concerning Ebola.
"Time and time again, the CDC and the administration have told us things that turned out not to be true. . . They have been a dollar short and a day late time and time again; they are again counting on hope. Hope is not a strategy." Jindal said.
Jindal criticized Cuomo's earlier press conference stating, "This is not the flu, this is Ebola and counting on hope is not a strategy, we need to play offense instead of playing defense."
Jindal stated "We need to play offense instead of defense" as hundreds of rush-hour commuters passed the gathering in Grand Central.
Common Core was also brought up as Jindal, who is a big advocate of ending this controversial education standard and sued the Obama administration late this summer over the standards and tests. In their opening statement, both Astorino and Jindal pledged to end its implementation.
Jindal is not the only Republican Governor aiding Astorino's long-shot bid. Texas Governor Rick Perry was in New York a few weeks ago to throw endorsement support and fundraise as well. Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney issued fundraising emails as well referring to Cuomo as a "typical corrupt politician by lying about his Start-up campaign of economic-development."
Governor Chris Christie on the other hand is not throwing any help or support even though NJ is right next door to NY. Christie has said this effort is a lost cause and wants to focus on other Governors races that are more competitive. Polls today show Astorino behind by 17 points. When asked about Christie's support, Jindal stated that, "Chris is perfectly capable of speaking for himself and he is here to support Rob and will do a great job as Governor."
State Democrats of New York have used this appearance of both Governors mulling a presidential bid as Astorino being too far right leaning to be taken seriously in New York. They released a headline "When Robbie Met Bobby" in light of the visit to remind New Yorkers of the ultra conservative ideological views Jindal and Astorino share. They listed a few steps stating how campaigning with unpopular governors with views dangerously out of step with mainstream New Yorkers. Such steps mention anti-choice, anti-minimum wages, anti-LGBT equality, anti-gun safety and anti-science.
Got to love liberal hysteria propaganda on conservative values being "Ultra Conservative". Democrats are trying their hardest to convince voters of other issues while forgetting that on the bigger issues of the economy, debt, schools and Ebola they have no plan. Democrats can tell all the lies they want, but this nation and New Yorkers especially are fed up with the gimmicks and aren't buying into this like before. If there is any accomplishment the democrats have achieved, its destroying the nation's economy and values.

Foxtel chief executive
Mr Heath quit as Foxtel's marketing director last week after only nine months in the role.
A former senior executive at Reader's Digest, Mr Heath is understood to be joining Macquarie Bank as head of group marketing, business and financial services.
Mr Delany resigned as Foxtel's executive director, sales and product development, in April to join Premier Media Group as chief executive. Premier produces the Fox Sports pay TV channels.
Industry sources said Mr Delany, who joined Foxtel in 2002 from pay TV channel producer XYZnetworks, where he was chief executive, was unlikely to be replaced by one person and Mr Williams was looking at splitting his role across two or more executives.
Premier's current chief executive, David Malone, leaves on July 15 and Mr Delany will join on July 17.

OK—some of you might be wondering what a review of the Disney Channel's original movie "High School Musical 2" has to do with the subject of this blog. Some of you have probably never watched the Disney Channel or are not aware of the "High School Musical" phenomenon. Allow me, as a father of a nine-year-old and a six-year-old daughter, to get you up to speed.
On Friday over 17 million people, many of them preteen girls, tuned in to the most anticipated original movie to ever appear on cable television. (Yes, you read that correctly). The sequel to the surprise January 2006 hit "High School Musical" was the most watched show in the history of cable television and was the second highest rated television show of all time among children between the ages of 9 and 14 (only the 2004 Super Bowl had a higher rating in this demographic). And these numbers are probably low, since many kids watched the movie with friends. Unlike some of their classmates, my girls did not go to one of these "High School Musical" parties, but my oldest daughter did invite a friend over to the house to watch with her. Needless to say, it was a night of pajamas, pizza, ice-cream sundaes, and, of course, the Disney entertainment juggernaut.
I have now watched both the original "High School Musical" and the sequel with my daughters, but I am still not sure what to make of this craze. A good part of me is tempted to take the responsible academic route and criticize Disney Corporation for the way it tries to suck my kids into its web of toys, CDs, DVDs, and other "High School Musical" paraphernalia. I could also criticize the movie for its glorification of suburban values and upper-middle class life. (My kids need to know that not everyone lives like the students of Disney's fictional East High School). This kind of analysis would be easy for me to do—perhaps too easy. (For an entertaining and provocative, though not very scholarly or balanced critique of Disney consumerism see What Would Jesus Buy, the new book by Reverend Billy, the pastor of Manhattan's Church of Stop Shopping).
There is another part of me—the parent—who would rather have my girls watching a Disney movie than some of the other stuff on television these days. I must admit, as corny or sentimental as this might sound, that I actually liked the message of the movie—that true human happiness comes not in ambition or the pursuit of personal fame and glory, but through relationships with others. In other words, I do not think my daughters were permanently damaged and they may have even learned something about how to live.
Then there is my role as a historian and observer of American religious culture. Is there such a thing, as journalist Mark Pinsky argues, as "Disney Religion?" Can traditional religion ever compete with Disney for the hearts of American kids or has the faithful already been blinded by Tinkerbell's pixie dust? I am intrigued (and perhaps a bit bothered) by the popular evangelical approach to all of this—if you can't beat Disney, at least try to use them for a higher purpose. Bethany House, an evangelical publisher, has recently released Wildcats in the House: Spiritual Stuff You Can Get from High School Musical.
Please help this critic, parent, and historian make sense of all of this, for I hear that "High School Musical 3" is coming soon!

Phil Jackson to present Rodman, Winter into Hall of Fame

Phil Jackson may have walked away from basketball, but hes still got some duties to perform.
At the Hall of Fame inductions on Aug. 12, Jackson is going to be a busy man. He has been asked to be the presenter for both Tex Winter, his long-time assistant coach, and Dennis Rodman, a former player of Jacksons with the Bulls.
Rodman rose to prominence at the heart of he Bad Boy Pistons, and that teams coach Chuck Daly might have been Rodmans first choice if Daly were still with us. But there is a real connection between Jackson and Rodman from the Bulls era as well Jackson called Rodman the greatest pure athlete he ever coached.
Tex Winter is best remembered as Jacksons assistant coach and offensive guru, but he had a legendary career before that. He literally wrote the book on the triangle offense, an offense run at all levels of the game. Before that he was a top college coach (he took Kansas State to the Final Four twice and was national coach of the year).
These kinds of moments suit Jackson and his stature in the game. Being on the sidelines does not any more, he didnt seem to have that same fire last season.
The induction ceremony takes place Aug. 12 in Springfield, Mass., at the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.

Most of us know what it's like to arrive at a government office for services, take a number and wait for a serviceperson to call us to their cubicle.
Marion County, Ind., citizens may be facing that experience less often at the Department of Health, thanks to a kiosk the county installed at the agency.
Before deploying the machine in November 2009, residents seeking uncertified copies of birth and death certificates had to make appointments with government staffers. Using the kiosk, they're able to search for the documents themselves and go straight to the cashier line to receive their copies, each costing 25 cents.
Julie Bishop, administrator of vital statistics for the county health department said citizens often use these uncertified documents for genealogy research. Certified birth and death certificates still must be purchased directly from a staffer. Bishop said county staffers were considering an application that would make purchasing certified death certificates possible from the kiosk. The agency will keep certified birth certificate purchases within the normal channels because of the risk of identity theft.
Bishop said the kiosk diverted roughly 5 percent of traffic away from the cubicles at her agency. However, she hopes to also deploy more kiosks with applications enabling immunization searches. She said the agency gets heavy traffic from parents requesting that information, and offering it though kiosks would eliminate numerous in-person appointments.
Bishop said she wasn't sure when the county would purchase more kiosks. She said she hoped an immunization search would be available on the existing kiosk by the beginning of the 2010-2011 school year.
Installing a kiosk is just one option. Some counties across the country offer uncertified birth certificates online.

NEW DELHI—India's cosmetics industry has long promised women that skin-lightening creams can do wonders for their faces, making them "two shades lighter" and giving them an improved chance for love and career success.
Now, the makers of the controversial creams are shifting their gaze to a new, if unlikely, area: armpits.
The German cosmetics company Nivea has started selling in recent weeks a new skin-lightening underarm deodorant targeted at young Indian women.
The whitening deodorant contains witch hazel extracts, licorice and traditional skin lightening agents that cut melanin production. It promises to make underarm skin fairer and more evenly toned.
Nivea has teamed up with the MTV music channel to promote the new brand and has started a Facebook campaign asking women to submit their photos in sleeveless dresses, asking customers to "Shed Your Sleeves" in "The Biggest Freedom Movement for Women."
The unusual cosmetics offering has sparked renewed debate in India over controversial yet highly popular skin lightening products.
"It's madness," New Delhi women's rights advocate Madhu Kishwar said of Nivea's new deodorant. "This product makes people more self-hating and feeds on their inadequacies."
Indian consumers for years have coveted lighter skin.
In the late 1970s, the consumer goods company Unilever debuted Fair and Lovely, and the cream became an instant hit.
"People lining up at the retail counter literally went berserk," says Harish Bijoor, a brand consultant. "They looked at it as some kind of magic offering that could help them get their daughters married faster and solve all their problems."
Over the years, Fair and Lovely advertisements featured a host of downtrodden, dark-skinned women maligned and scorned by potential love interests and supervisors alike.
But the skin-lightening cream seemed to have mystical qualities. Using it led to handsome boyfriends and promotions — at least it did in the commercials.
A survey in India in 2003 reported 93 per cent of respondents wanted their skin to be at least two shades lighter.
As India's economy liberalized, foreign companies have also sought out a piece of the skin-lightening market, which is said to be worth more than $750 million a year.
Avon, L'Oreal, Ponds and The Body Shop all sell skin whiteners. Some new products go so far as to offer a so-called Fairness Meter, an index card with a series of shades of skin tones that allow users to follow along their pigment loss.
The companies say they are merely providing a product that's in demand. Families routinely take out matrimonial ads in weekly newspapers seeking potential brides with a "fair complexion."
Yet critics contend the creams reinforce discrimination against darker-skinned Indians. Kishwar says the industry promotes the creams as a "magic wand" that can transform women "into Cinderellas."
The debate has polarized influential Bollywood celebrities and media outlets alike.
In 2005, media critics clashed when Ponds aired a series of five commercials for its "White Beauty" cream. In the serial, the actress Priyanka Chopra was dumped by a boyfriend who married a woman with lighter skin. Chopra discovered a new fairness cream that saved the day and helped her to get her man back.
Popular movie stars such as Katrina Kaif and Shah Rukh Khan both endorse skin-lightening products, and in December, the fashion magazine Elle India was accused of lightening the skin colour of actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan on its cover.
That came months after competitor Vogue India published a group of darker-skinned models on its cover with the headline: "The Dawn of Dusk; Vogue India celebrates the skin tone the world covets."
But it can become difficult for consumers to resist, said Rubina Nelson, a 21-year-old Delhi woman who has used skin lightening creams for about a year.
"Throughout high school, people just kept pointing out to me, 'your skin is dark,' and I was wanting to say, 'okay, so what's your point?' " said Nelson, who works in a beauty salon in a well-to-do neighbourhood in the capital. "I'm happy with who I am but I just thought I'd try it."
Asked if she thought fairer skin would help her chances for a good marriage, Nelson shrugged, clearly embarrassed in front of her colleagues.
Nelson, pretty with long, straight black hair and a warm smile, is hardly the first woman to second-guess her appearance.
Tharaileth Koshy Oommen, a sociology professor at Jawahar Nehru University in New Delhi, said the desire for fairer skin in India is rooted in the country's caste system. He said ancient Hindu scripture explains that the gods created man and established a social order using a primeval man named Purusha. The priestly elite, Brahmans, were taken from Purusha's face and were typically fair skinned. From his arms came the red-faced warrior caste Kshatriya; his thighs the yellow-skinned merchant caste Vaisya; his feet the dark-skinned Shudra.
"There is an understanding here that if you are darker skinned, you are probably of lower social origins," Oommen said. "It's understandable that some people try to pass off as a member of a higher caste with whiter skin. It can mean the difference between getting a job and not getting one."
In a country with gleaming skyscrapers and perhaps the world's most developed information-technology industry, "many people still believe white is pure and black is impure. It's sad but true," says Bijoor, the brand consultant.
In a recent interview with an Indian business newspaper, Nivea executive Soma Ghosh explained that the new skin whitening deodorant was developed because young urban women complained of dull, dark underarm skin after waxing.
"Many of them accepted this as a way of life as there was no product available to address this need," Ghosh said. "Nivea spotted this opportunity and developed whitening deodorant to fill to this gap."
And touched off the latest pitched debate over the long-held view by some here that lighter is better.

NO ROYAL WEDDING NO MSC: MSC Opera Cruise Review by Brian Spencer
Overall Member Rating
Destination: Transatlantic
Embarkation: Santos (Sao Paulo)
The ship itself is very nice and clean. Should be every night one man alone is cleaning the brass on the stairs. Lots of times the public toilets had no soap. Very few toilets onboard anyway and several times just before going into dinner only two toilets and these would be shut for cleaning.
I have never been on a ship with such miserable staff. Each morning when you went to the buffet breakfast the head man would stand hands behind his back. Never ever did he say morning or smile. This staff on the breakfast were More all like this. While queuing for outside buffet lunch waiters pushed through without giving us warning or giving us chance to make way for them. They had trays of food at shoulder height which was very close to peoples hair and heads. On my last morning one waiter walked in front of me when I was going to the outside breakfast area and then let the door go in my face when I was carrying my plate of breakfast. How rude.
I had a hairclip on my bedroom floor on my arrival and it was still there fifteen days later! On the day of the Royal Wedding not a thing - not even a mention in the newsletter. With no SKY News and being in the Atlantic Ocean they said they had no signal. Having been on holidays further afield and receiving SKY News it is obvious this ship is not geared up with any decent satellite technology. One passenger said he had cruised the Southern China seas and had SKY News all the time. Most days there was a 'theme' to the dining. ie. German, Indian, Italian foods, but nothing on the Royal Wedding Day. Could they not have had a British evening but in hindsight perhaps not or they would have spoilt any English menu.
I will never cruise on MSC again even if they offered me a free cruise. This was echoed by lots of passengers on board this cruise. Its the first time I have wanted a holiday to finish. Less

Cabin review: 8003
We had a good cabin as I enjoyed popping out onto deck to watch docking or to look for dolphons etc,. Cannot say to watch sail away as unless you happened to be on deck you did not even know you had 'sailed away'. Other cruises I have been on there has always been a fun time with sail away.

Vallejo Real Estate Lawyers
Real Estate Law in California
Real estate law in Vallejo regulates almost everything involved in the sale and use of land.
The numerous laws affecting real estate in Vallejo can sometimes feel overwhelming in their volume and complexity. This might apply doubly when your case involves a foreclosure, or a construction dispute.
Therefore, it's a good idea to learn some of the basics of Vallejo's real estate laws.
Knowing the law can serve you in a variety of ways: it can put you in a better negotiating position, it can help you spot unlawful terms in lease agreements, and confirm that you know your rights if a conflict arises, among other things.
Common Real Estate Law Issues in Vallejo
Financing: The majority of people in Vallejo can't afford to make a major real estate purchase by paying the full purchase price up front. Most persons and small businesses, therefore, use a mortgage to make real estate purchases. A mortgage is a loan authorized for the purpose of buying a piece of property, with the bank obtaining a security interest in that property until the loan and interest are paid off.
Zoning: Zoning regulations control what types of structures are allowed on various parcels, based on their location in a municipality. For instance, some areas in a city might be zoned only for residential use. Another area might permit industrial use. These rules are meant to keep property values up, and promote harmony among neighbors by preventing conflicts.
Duty of Disclosure: Sellers of homes are bound by a legal duty to disclose defects in the home to prospective buyers, before they buy the house. Any defect which the seller knows (or reasonably should know) about, and which cannot be discovered by the buyer through an average inspection, must be disclosed to the buyer.
Implied Warranties: In Vallejo, every residential rental agreement carries with it a warranty of habitability, in which the landlord implicitly promises that the unit is fit for human habitation. This applies whether or not such a warranty is mentioned in the lease agreement, and it still applies even if the landlord tries to disclaim any such warranty. There are many circumstances that might make a unit uninhabitable. A few examples are a lack of electricity, no running water, or no heating.

Leeds, England (UPI) Aug 21, 2012
Of the world's cities, Shanghai is the most vulnerable to serious flooding, a study by European researchers suggests.
Researchers from the Netherlands and the University of Leeds in England studied nine coastal cities around the world and used that information to devise a new method to calculate the flood vulnerability of cities.
The method includes measuring the level of economic activity in a city, its speed of recovery, and social issues such as the number of flood shelters, the awareness of people about flood risks and the number of disabled people in the population, a Leeds release said Tuesday.
The study analyzed the vulnerability to coastal flooding of nine cities built on river deltas: Casablanca (Morocco), Calcutta (India), Dhaka (Bangladesh), Buenos Aires (Argentina), Osaka (Japan), Shanghai (China), Manila (Philippines), Marseille (France) and Rotterdam (the Netherlands).
The highly prosperous Shanghai is more vulnerable than much poorer cities such as Dhaka, the study found.
"Vulnerability is a complex issue," Leeds researcher Nigel Wright said. "It is not just about your exposure to flooding, but the effect it actually has on communities and business and how much a major flood disrupts economic activity.
"Our index looks at how cities are prepared for the worst -- for example, do they have flood defenses, do they have buildings that are easy to clean up and repair after the flood? It is important to know how quickly a city can recover from a major flood."
Shanghai's is particularly vulnerable because it is exposed to powerful storm surges and the land is subsiding as sea levels rise, the researchers said.
"A 1-in-100-year flood in Shanghai would lead to widespread damage, with serious consequences for the city, across China and, through wider economic links, for the whole world," Wright said.
The study was published in the journal Natural Hazards.

Development Academy Weekend Wrap-Up (Oct. 16, 2007)
Oct 16, 2007
CHICAGO (Oct. 16, 2007) – A full slate of games during the weekend of Oct. 13-14 took place across the country in both the U-17/18 and U-15/16 age groups in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy, highlighted by last minute goals, hat tricks and a defensive duel in the U-15/16 age group between Birmingham United and the Concorde Fire (Atlanta, Ga.).
Bridge FA (Mt. Pleasant, S.C.) U-17/18 looked to have a comfortable 3-0 lead over the Richmond Kickers on Saturday afternoon, with two goals from Rudiger Hellberger. After heading into halftime with a one goal advantage, Daniel Bowers and Hellberger each added second-half tallies to seemingly put the game away.
But Richmond continued to battle back, and just three minutes after going down, 3-0, Patrick Innes get the Kickers back within two. A Nathan Roberts goal in the 81st minute put the game in reach for Richmond, who then put everyone forward looking for the equalizer. It took until the fourth minute of stoppage time, but the offensive barrage finally paid off, earning the Kickers a draw on the road, and a point against a conference opponent.
In other U-17/18 action, a hat trick from Riley Sumpter and a brace from Nick Burton led the Concorde Fire to an 8-0 win over Birmingham United in the weekend's most lopsided game. The Fire didn't get on the board until the 28th minute, and were up just 2-0 at halftime, but a second-half offensive explosion, including four goals in the final 10 minutes were too much for Birmingham to overcome.
Chivas USA (Carson, Calif.) scored three second-half goals in a 4-0 victory over San Diego Surf. Four different scorers found the back of the net for Chivas, including Mario Ledezma, who was credited with the game-winner in the 37th minute.
Another high scoring affair saw the Richmond Strikers top the Virginia Rush, 4-2, in Richmond. Brian Ownby and Sam Schaffer each scored two goals for Richmond, who played the final 21 minutes with 10 men after Ownby was shown his second yellow card.
In Boca Raton, Fla., Miami FC Kendall also took home a point from Schulz Academy after Pablo Punyed scored the game-tying goal in the final minute. Christian Gonzales opened scoring in the game in the 32nd minute, but just six minutes later Jesse Chang evened the score for Schulz. The home team looked to have taken the game when Jamel Johnson put Schulz up, 2-1, but Punyed helped Kendall come away with the draw.
The AFC Lightning (Fayetteville, Ga.), playing at home, topped crosstown rivals the Atlanta Fire, 3-1. Goals from Christopher Feigenbaum, Robbie Deider and Sean Grisham gave the Lightning a three goal advantage before the Fire got one back in the final minute.
In the U-15/16 group, Chivas USA and the San Diego Surf kicked off the weekend with a 1-1 draw at The Home Depot Center Saturday morning. The Surf looked to take control of the game when Zach Wolfenzon scored in the first minute, but Chivas bounced back and put away one of their own just minutes before halftime to come away with the point.
Two second-half goals from Garrett Harvey led the Richmond Strikers to a come-from-behind win over the Virginia Rush. Clayton Newton put the Rush on the board in the 31st minute, but Harvey evened the game in the 57th minute before scoring the game-winner nine minutes later.
The Atlanta Fire visited AFC Lightning on Sunday, coming away with a 2-2 tie. The Lightning's Andrew Pritchard scored early in the second half, but two Taylor Krek goals pulled the Fire ahead. Krek's second goal came in the 79th minute, but less than a minute later, Leonardo Guttierez tied the game just before the final whistle blew.
In the highest scoring game of the weekend for the U-15/16s, Bridge FA took a 5-2 victory over the Richmond Kickers in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. Justin Watson opened the scoring for Bridge in the 26th minute before Ian Major tied it up for the kickers eight minutes later. Watson scored again in the 49th minute, and in the second half, Richmond had no answer for Austin Savage, who tallied three goals in the span of 19 minutes to lead his team in the win.
It was a defensive battle in Alabama as Birmingham United played to a scoreless draw with the visiting Concorde Fire. Concorde's Brendan Moore and Birmingham's combination of Joseph Levinson and Nicolas Piola were in opposing nets, preserving the shutout for their respective teams.
Three early goals led the way for Miami FC Kendall's 3-0 road victory over Schulz Academy. Christian Ramos opened the scoring in the 18th minute, and Alvaro Bastidas scored in the 26th minute to give Miami FC Kendall a 2-0 lead into halftime. Less than a minute into the second half, Andre Seidenthal found the back of the net for the final score of 3-0.

Western League Premier Division
Longwell Green Sports 3 Hallen 0
HALLEN'S winless run stretched to four games as they lost at Longwell Green.
The hosts looked the stronger of the two sides and it was mostly down to some fine goalkeeping by Lee Ballard that Hallen did not concede a goal until the 25th
minute, and even then the visiting custodian managed to get a hand to the ball, but couldn't stop the follow up by Joe Straddling.
Sports maintained control into the second half a made it 2-0 soon after the restart when Dan Hunt scored.
On 70 minutes Hunt scored his second goal to wrap up the win.

Bird watching grows ever more popular and I don't mean the dedicated band of 'twitchers' who dash all over Britain adding rarities to their lists.
'Twitching' is not for me. I'm quite content to watch a range of garden birds on the feeders, all of which are interesting in their various ways.
Nevertheless, I do have a list of iconic birds that I call my 'fab five' all of which can be enjoyed locally with no need to travel far.
Topping my list is the swallow that for me would win any avian X-factor competition and a delight to observe winging along the Thames at Kingston in summertime.
The shy kingfisher, increasing in numbers, is well worth sitting waiting quietly for along a river or stream, its brilliant plumage so stunning.
Skylarks grace grassy plains in Richmond and Bushy parks and their seemingly endless songs drifting earthwards from mere specks in the sky are breathtaking.
Songthrushes deliver a melody that I think is even more lyrical than the nightingale and they are just beginning to resume singing as winter bites.
Last but by no means least is the magnificent peregrine falcon (pictured). From their traditional nesting site at the Tate Modern they have spread to several outer London and North Surrey locations where, on chosen tall buildings they can be watched perching, preening, interacting with partners and occasionally soaring.
The fastest creatures on, or rather above the planet when diving at 200mph after prey, peregrines join the swallow, skylark, kingfisher and songthrush on my hit list of 'must see' birds, all living close at hand.

Freedom of the Seas review by a Carnival Fan: Freedom of the Seas Cruise Review by CruiseDoc001
Overall Member Rating
Freedom of the Seas review by a Carnival Fan
Destination: Eastern Caribbean
Embarkation: Port Canaveral (Orlando)
Embarkation: The processes of embarking was similar to Carnival. We were late arriving. Agents were generally pleasant but the process was a bit slow; it helped that we were the last one's boarding.
Staff: All staff was very friendly, attentive, and willing to help. Exceptional service.
Room: we were in a balcony cabin 7352. Our room was always cleaned twice a day; no complaints. I heard that the rooms were very small, but we were surprised that our room did not seem much smaller than the balcony cabin on carnival.
Ship: The ship itself was More beautiful and much cleaner in most places (such as, buffet dining room=the windjammer)than carnival. The buffet was kept clean always and fully stocked with food. The shows were just OK to us; we liked the carnival shows better. The ship had only one production show for the 7 day cruise, but had other shows---such as a magician and the "coasters" from the 60's (I think).
The main difference is that we felt there was alot of "down town" in between events; whereas, on carnival there was always something to do if you wanted. On RC, many of the activities required an additional fee, including the extra restaurants, such as Johnny rockets and Ben & Jerry's. Bingo was super expensive ($32 for four games),so we only played once (and lost). RC people generally observed formal night; most people had long gowns/suits/tuxedos, very different from the more casual dining room attire of Carnival. Added features of ice saking rink, rock climbing wall, and flow rider was great. However, most had long lines.
It was an older crowd mostly; I'd say 55-60% over the age of 49. RC did not have the "energy" and excitement level that Carnival had. I would definitely cruise RC again when I want rest and a quieter atmosphere. It was definitely a much nicer ship. However, if you're looking for high energy and want to stay busy (or at least have many choices of things to do), I would recommend Carnival. Less

Abraxas Petroleum's profit rises
Published 11:02 am, Thursday, May 8, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — Abraxas Petroleum Corp.'s first-quarter net income jumped to $4.7 million, or 5 cents a share, from $595,000, or 1 cent a share, for the same period a year earlier.
The oil and gas production company realized higher prices for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids during the quarter.
"The first quarter of 2014 meaningfully surpassed our initial expectations and guidance," CEO Bob Watson said in a statement. The locally based company's financial position is the strongest in its history, he said.
The company's stock was changing hands at $5.64 a share, up 15 cents, at midday in Nasdaq trading.
Business Channel
Revenue rose 22 percent in the quarter to $25.9 million compared with revenue of $21.2 million for the first quarter of 2013.
Looking ahead to the second quarter, the addition of three wells in which the company holds a 76 percent working interest in the Bakken Shale, along with four wells in the Eagle Ford Shale in which it owns a 100 percent working interest, are expected to boost production and contribute to growth in cash flow for the crude oil and natural gas exploration and production company, Watson said.

The number of patent infringement suits filed with the District Court of Düsseldorf remains constantly high. In addition to the two existing patent litigation chambers (chamber 4a presided by Dr. Crummenerl and chamber 4b presided by Ms Voss), the Court now installed a third 4c chamber. This new 4c chamber already started its work at the end of 2012 under the presidency of experienced judge Ms Klepsch. Ms Klepsch, at last, subsitutionally presided the 4b patent chamber and had before been in the patent litigation senate of the Düsseldorf Appellate Court. The increasing capacities of the Düsseldorf District Court will lead to a noticeable shortening of patent litigation proceedings in first instance. Düsseldorf, as a place of venue, is now ideally staffed also for upcoming developments.
Also the Düsseldorf Appellate Court as the Court of second instance will consequently have to provide further capacities for patent litigation in order to handle the expected increase of appeal proceedings competently and in the shortest possible time. We may reckon that a second senate for patent litigation will be established already in the first half of 2013 in addition to the exisiting "2nd senate" for patent litigation presided by Dr. Kühnen.

3D Systems Geomagic Solutions is going to summer school as a proud partner of the Richmond County School District for its "Summer of Kainotomia 2013" scanning summer camp.
By Calvin Hur, VP and General Manager of 3D Systems, Geomagic Solutions
3D Systems has integrated the combined power of Geomagic, Rapidform, Alibre and Sensable into Geomagic Solutions, which I believe will be at the vanguard of 3D authoring and is already one of the most creative, innovative and passionate groups around. This group is reinventing the engineer's desktop. And I am honored to be a part of it.
By Yates Fletcher, Engineering, Geomagic
The previous and only other time I fell off my bike, I was riding no-hands on my brand-new red Schwinn (showing off for Donna McCulloch as I recall) when I ran afoul of a displaced manhole cover. More recently, I locked the front wheel while braking on a slick downhill turn, but the result was much the same in both cases: I instinctively broke the fall with my hand. But as the latest fall revealed, the intervening 50 odd years had stolen much of my childhood resilience. This time it hurt a little more. There was swelling and stiffness in the wrist joint, but as there were no obvious signs of a break, I decided to wrap it in an ACE bandage until I could get an appointment with the orthopedist. There was just one problem: The bandage didn't ease the pain in my wrist as I wrote code for and tested Geomagic Studio 2013.
By Nick Chwalek, Regional Manager,
This week, Syazwani Aziz, a student user of Geomagic Studio, posted a question of Geomagic's Facebook page about creating segments in a scanned model.
dfgdfgWarner Bros' Dolphin Tale movie, released late last year, tells a true story of an injured dolphin, a boy, and some pretty innovative doctors. Winter the dolphin lost her tail in a crab trap and was rescued by marine biologists at Florida's Clearwater Marine Aquarium. However tailless, Winter had problems swimming - a life-threatening situation for a dolphin. But…we'll let you watch the movie to see the outcome.
This year's Euromold will feature an innovative 3D face scanning and printing system by 3D Systems and Geomagic. All attendees will be able to get their face scanned using Geomagic and a Kinect scanner, and attendees can watch faces be printed out in 3D using 3D Systems' latest 3DTouch printer, an affordable 3D printer newly launched by the company...
Last Friday part of the Geomagic Marketing team managed to escape the office and visit Roush Fenway – a giant in the world of NASCAR and Ford's arm for creating racing cars in the US stock car racing world – for a little of our version of R&R – Research and Racing cars.
As users of Geomagic for quality control and 3D engineering, the company embodies high-end technical expertise throughout its entire operation, putting levels of thought into such tiny details that normal people (if you can think of us as normal) simply would not have considered.
NASCAR can be a strange world of obtuse and seemingly random rules about car size, engine power, tire pressure and more. Tolerances are strict, and yet Roush aims to deliver performance that accurately meets every tolerance proscribed without losing a single millimeter in size or brake horsepower in the process. Everything, including external heat, engine heat, cooling effects and so on, is considered within the design and build operation, and then tested, checked, verified, adjusted and checked again. With an operation like this, very few things are left to chance and that includes checking each and every outsourced part, as well as every part created in-house. The company's engineering effort is paying dividends with winning drivers from all teams across recent years. Roush has surely become a powerhouse in NASCAR design and racing.
For our trip, our aim was simple – we went to find out how Geomagic is being used, as well as score a car body part for our new office Showcase. We scored the body part, but also found ourselves immersed in a world of engineering excellence that took our breath away.
Of course, since all the information on how they do this is confidential, we cannot talk about it. The team uses a GOM ATOS scanner, in combination with Geomagic Studio and Geomagic Qualify, to make their car designs as perfect as possible.
The car part we collected is a side panel from Trevor Baynes' Number 16 vehicle for the Nationwide NASCAR challenge. Baynes is a rapidly rising star in the Roush teams, and this year won the Daytona 500. We will be following his progress as the NASCAR season continues.
We want to express our thanks to the team members at Roush for their welcome and assistance, especially Dave Shepherd whose expertise in engineering and enthusiasm for the sport is refreshing and Mike, his technician. These guys make for an impressive and quite intimidating engineering team who combine advanced engineering and scanning with good, old-fashioned, mechanical solutions to make their equipment work perfectly. Plus you'll see from the photos below that we got the parts we hoped for:
Figure 1: Tom Simon from Geomagic and Dave Shepherd loading a side panel from rising NASCAR driver, Trevor Bayne's, number 16 NASCAR Nationwide Car into my pickup. If you want to see the panel, however, you'll have to wait for our showcase to be unveiled at our new office…
Figure 2: Tom and myself next to a Nationwide NASCAR in the Roush Museum, a car similar to the one from which the side panel came from.
Figure 3: The front of Roush Fenway – an impressive campus which has absorbed most of the available land next to the Concord, NC, Airport.

Verizon to start Friends & Family

Not too bad. It's free! Change numbers daily... cool! I kinda thought VZW had to adopt this since they grabbed Alltel.
2. trentsinmypants (Posts: 324; Member since: 29 Jan 2009)
its a good move on VZW's part......its about time that we add something special to our rate plan offerings :D I sent in a email to phonearena about this but they didnt put all the details i put in. :( Oh well, at least the news is out!
3. Mayday3420 (Posts: 61; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
lol, what do you expect, they're phone arena. They are also the last ones to report it as well.

Too bad Family share 700 min plans aren't included!
6. Mayday3420 (Posts: 61; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
if you're already on the lowest plan why would you need it?
7. xmguy (Posts: 38; Member since: 12 Feb 2009)
Can't afford the higher plans. So a feature like that would really come in handy.
8. brikz4real (Posts: 173; Member since: 24 Dec 2008)
Details about the My Family feature: *** They must be on a single line 900 Min. plan or higher, or FS 1400 Min. plan or higher ( as mentioned above ). *** They must be on a Nationwide Plan *** For Smartphone/Blackberry plans (coming soon), they must be 450 min. or higher *** Domestic Only .... Calls to Canada are not included (someone actually asked me that) *** The FS offer is up to 10 total .... NOT 10 per phone (someone actually asked me that too). IMO, I think VZW is doing this because they are trying to pull customers from AT&T and Sprint (maybe even T-Mo)...obviously, and that's a good thing. But I really think this was the death knell for Alltel. Any Verizon sales rep will be have to be "super rep" in order to sell any plan with more than 900 min. ( single ) or 1400 min ( FS ) ... unless it's a business customer. Imagine, having a 900 minute plan and up to 5 freebies that you frequently call. Those 900 minutes would NEVER be an issue. In a way it looks good because it aims to make Rollover Minutes ( AT&T ) look totally useless, but we will see. I think Sprint might follow suit.
11. DonLouie (Posts: 594; Member since: 22 Dec 2008)
Sprint has a retention offer of 3 #'s any network I been begging them to promote this to no avail, maybe they will do so now and make it 7 #'s to play off 7pm n/w's
12. brikz4real (Posts: 173; Member since: 24 Dec 2008)
I think Sprint will up the ante because, as we all remember, they were the first to announce the Unlimited Talk plans ( albeit they released it "certain" markets ). VZW and AT&T beat them to the punch by releasing that same plan Nationwide. I thnk Sprint's new CEO is definitely in the works to have a plan like this. It's good for competition.
9. jskrenes (Posts: 209; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
I'm excited about it. Verizon has always had the attitude of 'we charge more and offer less because we're better and we're worth it.' And most of the time I agree. But it is nice to see them offer something like this. Plus it secures the majority of Alltel customers that would try and leave VZW because of My Circle. All it would have taken was another carrier to start offering something like My Circle, and every acquired Alltel customer would jump ship.
10. vzw fanman (Posts: 1976; Member since: 11 Dec 2008)
im happy its free too. this is great. verizon will get a lot more customers this way
13. brikz4real (Posts: 173; Member since: 24 Dec 2008)
This is probably a good move considering Verizon revamped their Inpulse plan as well.

London (Nov. 15)
The anti-Jewish student disturbances in Poland came under discussion to-day at the meeting of the Board of Jewish Deputies, when the Joint Foreign Committee, in the course of its report to the Board, stated that it has noted with great regret the anti-Jewish student disturbances which have occurred in the last few weeks in various Universities in Poland, adding that the authorities have taken appropriate measures to deal with the situation.
Mr. Morris Myer, speaking on the report, urged that representations in a friendly spirit should be made by the Board to the Polish Ambassador in London, saying that this would have a salutary effect on the bullies.
Mr. B. S. Straus, replying to criticism made of the Joint Foreign Committee for the paucity of details in the Report, said that the Report conveys what the Committee desired it to convey. The fact was, he said, that it is the policy of the Board not to take action unless the foreign community concerned specifically asked for it. In this case their assistance had not been requested. In these days the Board had to be more careful than in the past, for when one realised that the particular Government had not encouraged the excesses against the Jews, and was anxious that they should be suppressed, the Board had to be very careful not to upset that Government.
Mr. O. E. d'Avigdor Goldsmid, the President of the Board, followed up Mr. Straus's statement by saying that the Board would remember that the Jewish Community in Poland were fully represented in the Polish Seym. That Community had a certain pride and had not asked for any representations to be made in England. We have the greatest possible regret at the outbreak of these disturbances and the riots, he declared, and we trust that the Polish Government will do its utmost to suppress them and will restore law and order, and further will restore the opportunity to the Jewish students to continue their usual work, which is their right. The Joint Foreign Committee will, at its next meeting, he added, give further consideration to this matter.

Beautiful piece
By mwalsh
from Toledo OH
I originally bought this piece and a second one by the artist to use in a large office that needed a colorful work with not a lot of detail. I framed the poster in a walnut-colored metal frame with a cream beige mat. Many compliments later, one of my co-workers loved this so much she asked me to put together an identical one for her home!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
