Now and forever
I am your lawful and loving wife…

are like my thoughts
falling down into my mind
sending goose bumps down
my spine
Their cool aftermath
cleanses me of my thoughts
of fear and uncertainty
about what tomorrows
pain may bring
They make me feel,
wet with creativity
drenched in my optimistic
illumination. glistening
raindrops, my thoughts
leave paths of pleasurable
distress, and hope of success
which road, less traveled
may be the best
Forget an umbrella
when these raindrops
arrive, I walk outside
arms open wide
Ready to Receive
the mind storm may bring
because raindrops are
as my thoughts, falling
down into my mind
sending shivers down
my spine
My brain, yearns
for the rain, to wash away
the pain, tomorrows worry
does bring
One special drop
could speed up life's clock
to the time
I can handle my own
and not dwell inside my controllers
For raindrops are,
like my thoughts
falling down into my mind
sending goose bumps
down my spine

Growing up
My father and me
He did the best he could
Because once we were three
Events happened
And then we were two
His rise and demise
As his life withdrew
Looking back, to the memories we had
They never lasted for years
Some great, some sad
For an ill man he did his best
And in me, I have his zest
He never recovered from the loss of his son
To say goodbye to the elder one
He was hospitalised for months and years
On the day he was taken, uncontrollable tears
The years we shared
Fifteen in all
In every one
He helped me grow tall
To appreciate, what life will give
Remember your past, let your future live
He's all around me every day
For on the wind I hear him say
Enjoy your life, live happily
I hope you get to the land of the free
My reply to you Dad
As you look down on me
The Aura around you
The man I hope to be
" Happy Fathers Day to you Dad, I still miss you, your loving son James "
To be read listening to Boston's < A Man i'll never be >

We go through each and every day
With family, friends and foes but,
For loves' sweet sake
We all endure
The chaos, tears and woes
And so you think
For loves' sweet sake
To wrestle with the dark?
Well - you will find that you've become
The bait - and food for sharks
The things you'll do
For loves' sweet sake
Can tear your heart apart
And cause distress where none should be
Who now will mend your heart?
Now this you say to your lost love
"How could you hurt me so"?
For loves' sweet sake
I gave up all
But would not let you go
For loves' sweet sake
You'll change your life
And try to start anew
With hope, with love with charity
You'll face what comes to you
So now, my friend, consider this
And all you've sacrificed
For loves' sweet sake
You gave your all
Hey - was it worth the price?
Let's ask the One who gave up all
To enter into Strife
For loves' sweet sake
He endured the Cross
He gave up His own life
He helped us know how much we're loved
He showed us how to be
He did all of this for us -
And more
For Loves' sweet sake you see

I want to be inspired to write
a song people really want to sing;
I want to be inspired to compose
a requiem for the King;
But, I'm just an ordinary man
doing the best I can
at writing poems
that have no homes.
I want to be inspired to find
a cure for this cancer thing;
I want to be inspired to reach
out for the golden ring;
But, I'm just an ordinary man
doing the best I can
at getting by
with the good old college try.
I want to be inspired to lead
a revolutionary coup;
I want to be inspired to be
the best at everything I do;
But, I'm just an ordinary man
doing the best I can
to make ends meet
and not live on the street.
I have the motivation;
I'll put in the perspiration;
I can give it concentration;
But, I lack the inspiration;
Inspire me.
What will it take to inspire me?
I want to be inspired to write
a song people really want to sing;
I want to be inspired to compose
a requiem for the King;
But, I'm just an ordinary man
doing the best I can
at writing poems
that have no homes.

A burst of white light
gamma rays, overbearing
a flash of brilliance
burns through to my soul
everything is like hell
the world starts to melt
in the blink of an eye
just the cold blackness
of night
I don't care if I am not again
what I once was, for at this moment
I am greater now
than ever before
I took the path between
teetering, tight roping walking
right up to my right
divined in my unholy state
I thought I told you
I am your king
still you sit there, hesitating
I know you hate me
what does that mean?
I hate just about everything
still I'm chosen
I did not wish before
now bow down to me
refuse me no more
for I shall always be your demon
until you accept me as your King.
I don't even know you
though you say we used to be
best of friends, you and me
the day you ditched me
I remember now
exactly how it played out
back when we were just tiny things
even back then I still was King
you thought me stupid
just a ruse
I would laugh inside, you see?
not one of you single, mean people
ever even knew me
in a world, mostly seen to me
that is why only I can be your true King
and bring forth a new source
of light everlasting.
As two worlds collide slowly aligned
one wrapped in shadows
one bathed in white
evils swirling in the clouds above
I'll always be the king you love
to hate or despise as in your blood
I thought I told you, I am the one
I am the way, the way out shall be shown
breathe in my spirit as it carries you away
breathe in my faith it shall carry your empty space
and deposit you gently on a cloud just enough
higher than you've ever dreamed of
for I am king now, and your in my hell
your in my imagination, I'll just never tell
you'll feel as though dreaming, you'll feel now
if you try and see
you were always found the most
shared in the light cast upon me
the last bright star in heaven.
Denounce my name, if you may
One year later, still not afraid
A black sheep, a darkened spade
That's just life, I'm not right
I'm in the wrong, follow along
Like a piper, I'll pitch a song
Mesmerized, the weak wills sing
I thought he told you, he's still our king.

Radiant hymn's of morning sun
of Godly words O' how I run
to and fro
I traipse in search
in love I rest
still my spirit yearns
I will sing of the Lord's great love
I hear the call upon the hill
in shallow breath my heart lie still
O' trial O' fear
I march ahead
I call my king
on Zion's perch
I will sing of the Lord's great love
To proclaim everlasting the prize
onward and bestowed to rise
O' anointed one
I march ahead
in love I rest
each day of toil
I will sing of the Lord's great love
I will sing
O' how I bear in my heart
in completion just to be a part
with sinful flesh
my spirit cries
I call my King
to shun desire
I will sing of the Lord's great truth
I shall sing forever

As I place the pen
on paper
my soul beings
to bleed
upon the pages
my secret longings
hopes and dreams
of which I hope to be,
how I want to reflect me
transpire into the universe
within my poetic lyricism
the warm sweet smoke
of my vega blunt
swirls about me, flickers
in and out of motion
as the vanilla candle nearby
fights the shadows in my room
the cool summer breeze
from my window
carries dancing sinsemilla
fog around me, allowing
my mind
to adventure elsewhere
into the nights abyss
of minutes, turned to hours
I write
pages, of words
scribbling my life, struggles
and fears
Bob Marley and Lauryn Hills
"turn your lights down low"
beat inspirational peacefulness
on my eardrums
my small hands delicately pluck
my imaginary guitar strings
as I join her in a solo, Miss Hill's
magical voice cracks
with emotion, and my soul
tingles with excitement
For creativity flows
within my veins
I breath real music, such as
she, as soon as daylight opens
thine dark brown eyes to see
The poetic flowetry, carries me
and speaks to me
the notes capture my inner
disturbance and desires
until the soundtrack of my day
takes me into Summers night
thoughts of my dreams
of being a published poet
clearly float
into my sight
Then, I sit
as I place my pen
upon the paper
black and white turn to one
and my soul bleeds
onto pages
into an early sun
The missing light,
What's behind.
Just believe,
That love comes again...
The skies,
Are like a hard glide,
In a shining rainbow's light...
All dreams and fantasies,
Can be reality,
'Cause fantasy,
Is based on reality...
But all histories aren't the same...
Sometimes, we dive,
In our lives...
Don't judge,
For what you see,
For what it is...,
'Cause time passes,
But, memories remain...
To your heart,
The body, does,
The mind, thinks,
And, the heart, feels...,
While, the soul, lives...
Always remember,
To remember the past,
To live the present,
And to wait and pursue the future...
Listen to your heart,
Before you are telling goodbye,
'Cause destiny,
Might lead to demise...,
But, remember that destiny can be changed...
Life is unpredictable,
But space and time,
Could be controlled...
And even if some die,
We may survive...
That life,
Might have an endless beginning...
All that remains,
Is to be reborn...

I've been a lot of places in this land,
From sea to shining sea.
There's a place in the hills of Arkansas
That means more than them all to me,
A little wildwood church where people meet
To praise the Lord above.
They don't have a lot of money,
But they're rich in a thing called love
You'll see a friendly smile upon each face
The moment you walk in.
They'll make you feel so loved and right at home,
That you'll want to go back again.
They will pour you out a cup of kindness
And hospitality;
Then they'll take you home and feed you,
And they'll treat you like family.
You're always more than welcome;
There's no lock upon the door.
There's preaching and singing and praising the Lord,
And they know what the altar's for.
Don't look for a grand cathedral,
Standing proud and tall;
It's a humble little church, beside the road,
At Ben Hur Arkansas.

Lyric Man
You feel him touch your heart
and if you look you'll find.
Long after he has touched you there
his words are on your mind.
Sleeping in the shadows
where there lives a lovers dream.
Like a soft warm rustle
or winds ripples cross a stream.
Softly like a gentle breeze
is how it seems to start.
Goose bumps on your skin
he's already found your heart.
A gift sent down from God above
it wasn't his own plan.
Emerging from the darkness
he became the Lyric Man.
Writing songs and lyrics
that only lovers hearts can sing.
Shining through the shadows
with the light that his words bring.
Reaching out just like the wind
and changing like the tide.
Opening doors that once were locked
and touching you inside.
Leaving tracks upon your soul
like a river that once ran.
You'll know it's true should he find you
you've met the Lyric Man.

So much I wanted to say. So much I wanted to shout.
It was like being trapped behind bars without a way
to get out.
My mind going wild with all these questions of why.
The only way to escape was to fall asleep or to cry.
What did I do so bad that made me have to pay?
My friends, my dreams, and my life was swepped away.
I know I can do it! I try and I try.
Nothing seems to get better. I sometimes wish
I would Die.
Starved for attention. I wanna talk to the world.
I just miss being loved. Miss the warmth of a girl.
Snickers and stairs is what my life has become.
I'm treated like I'm a kid, like I'm sick, or I'm dumb.
One day to the next. Life becomes work just to be alive.
I thank god for my blessings. I thank god I survived.
I finally see some improvement. More hope tickles
my brain.
It was worth all the time, all the tears, all the pain.
I awake with a smile and new hope to move on.
I did it! I did it! All those hard times are gone!

A song of a sparrow in the springtime.
Birds chirp a lullaby at the peak of the morning sun.
Speedy is the dragonfly, wish I could catch just one.
Clovers fill the meadow and daisies are in bloom.
Brilliant as the rainbow heanen's scent perfumes.
I hear a sparrow singing sweet tunes of joy and glee.
Sing a song sweet sparrow, sing a song for me.
As springtime goldenrods glow.
I see a sweet sparrow perched upon a rose.
Elegant are the carnations,
and honeybees buzz me by,
God's mighty creations of tender springtime.
I hear a sparrow singing a joyful melody.
Sing a song sweet sparrow, whistle in the breeze.
Lilacs spread their fragrance.
Daffodils line the creek.
In the wind the lilies dance,
and crickets chirp at my feet.
I hear a sparrow singing such a sweet tune.
Sing a song sweet sparrow, lift the morning dew.
Sing a song the prince of love and let the music flow.
Drowning in sweet melodies I open my window.
Perched upon the cedar tree a mighty little bird.
Singing tunes of springtime for all to be heard.

(Verse 1)
There's an aching in my back
An my knees are buckling in
My body's hurt n bruised
friends r' say 'n take a step back 'n relax
got so much on my mind
faster and faster I here myself say
I cant give up when I'm half way through
pure determination drives me hard and true
Never giving up
I can see it now the sun is shine 'n on me
Never giving up
I'm almost there the inspiration I need
(Verse 2
The devil can try to slow me down
Putting all those boundaries road blocks round
But without a flinch in my face
I'll jump up move and around
My destiny is calling to me
Got lots to accomplish no time to tire
There's a sunrise coming up in my face
My dreams are right there I'm following through
(Hook x 2)
Never giving up
been a long time but the sun is shine 'n on me
Never giving up
I never looked back now I see inspiration in front of me

If I had over 10,000 dreams
You'd be the only thing my mind could see
Judgment couldn't be real
Succumbing to the fear of this cold life
Find a way to break through
The self-destruction of wordly delusions
Don't tell me I've lived so long in a lovely illusion
Break me down until we find a Nirvanic state
Then bring me a savior from transgressions
An atoning sacrifice
Send down to me a messenger for me to submit to
Bring me the truth to break through The delusion
Bring me the messenger to explain it all
And let me leave behind
Sorrow's caressing the earth
The caliphate stole my heart
Without a will to fight
But I have the Means to be free
I'll try to go with the word I believe
But so many stones to be thrown
Stakes to burn, limbs to break
Faces to hate, scorns to taste
Will I have the will to die
Despite all of the tears no one will cry
Sorrow's caressing the earth
The caliphate stole my heart
Broke my will
Safetefied my soul
Martyr for the Unorthodox word
Sorrow's caressing the earth
The caliphate stole my heart
Without a will to fight
But I have the Means to be free
I'll try to go with the word I believe
But so many stones to be thrown
Stakes to burn, limbs to break
Faces to hate, scorns to taste
Will I have the will to die
Despite all of the tears no one will cry
Sorrow's caressing the earth
The caliphate stole my heart
Broke my will
Safetefied my soul
Martyr for the Unorthodox word

Tonight as my baby girl started to pray
She said God it's 8 O'Clock,
And God We need to talk.
She said daddy help me pray,
And daddy bow your head,
As we knelt beside her bed.
she said God can you hear me?
Mommy always said you'd hear me,
If I would learn to pray,
And that you would show me the way.
Well God I don't understand.
Why you took my mommy away.
Daddy always says i'll understand,
When I grow up some day.
She said God, you need your son.
Well I need my mommy to,
And I know that my daddy,
Would be happier with mommy.
Cause daddy talks to her,
And mommy's not even there.
God can you please,
Give my mommy wings,
So she can come to see us.
She always kept our house clean,
And God I know,
She keeps your house clean to.
And God I miss mommy's big hugs,
Daddy says your son gives hugs to.
So I know if my mommy had wings,
She could hug me and daddy.
Well God I want to thank you,
For being there to listen,
And God think about what I said.
And tell mommy that I love her,
And God I love you to.
Oh just one more thing God,
Help my daddy stop crying.
Thank you God, Amen,
Then she turned to me and said,
Goodnight daddy, I love you.
I was still on my knees,
Beside my little girls bed,
With tears running from my eyes.
I gave my baby a goodnight kiss,
And said sweet dreams baby girl.
Then I went to my room,
And kissed my wife's picture,
And with tears in my eyes,
I knelt down to pray,
I said God, We need to talk.

papa said
son what you going to do
with your life
now that you have
no money job
or wife
he said papa
I'm going to
leave this town
think I'll
join up with the rodeo
and break them bulls down
Maybe even rope
me a stallion or
even a clown
Son you better
take another
look around
for theres no money
for bull riders
thrown to the ground
or being stepped on
by a horse or bull
weighing over eight hundred pounds
Papa I promise
Ill make you proud
of your rodeo cowboy when I'm done
And promise
not to be thrown or bucked off
to the ground
So papa please come
visit when our show's
in town
for I'll be
the one riding high on
the biggest bull that's found
hanging on for just
eight seconds while I'm
listening for that bells sound
just kicking those sides
of horses and bulls
jumping up and down
with coming out your
top rodeo champion and
bull rider found

When you have downfall on your mind chaos is all a mind can find, its time to change all the things you had held so deep inside, they cause rage, your trapped in while your caught up in the cage of life an easy life with out strife, no more pain or struggle inside a bubble and you want to make it burst, but first things first you know the times that come will be the worst, because its change you want, and you will taunt the ones who set the curse. They say if you want to change a little then its your choice, but if you want to change a lot they must first hear your voice, loud enough for all to hear, listen and all of the problems soon disappear, just know that the world can be a bleak one and people dont always listen so you cannot only speak once, so when the end is near you can look back at the goodtimes throughout all the years think about all the times and cheer, and thank god you lived this long and your still here. Be remembered only for the words you spoke, for you do not want to be invisioned inside a cloud of smoke, watch as they listen when you start to feel the choke on the thoughts about your life,a bad life, a black life, envoloped in fear you were hoping that the man would hear, and maybe take a listen, to diamonds in your mind as you watch them glisten. finally move to a position, and open your ears and let your mind be clear, and hear the wisdom spoken from the person on the otherside of the mirror, society sobriety with out a clue just sit and ponder at the deepest thoughts that are revealed in you...

Back in the mind of times
See it for what I find
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I'm bringing back the old days
Seeing these brutal type ways
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I can see my future
Standing alive
Walking amongst deadly ways
And yet I still thrive
My message is very clear
From beginning to end
Enemies and foes amongst me
Yet who is my friend
God told me not to worry
In time I will tell
All that you need to know
To do things well
The key is very simple
Nothing in life comes for free
Determination is what I find
In this mystery
I have got my head in the clouds
So time will not pass me by
Wondering what I need
But if I would only try
Where I am going from here
Nobody really knows
I guess I will try to keep it simple
In my next tomorrow
Back in the mind of times
See it for what I find
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I am bringing back the old days
Seeing these brutal type ways
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I am standing in the midst of a sea clear, bright, and blue
I am looking for somebody
But I do not know who
I need answers to solve daily problems
So I go to the man
Who keeps the world revolving
If I am in Him
And He is in me
A crucial door just opened
So now I can see
I am on the outside and still looking in
Praying for answers daily in this battle I win
The war will be over soon
But I will still enjoy time of peace
Knowing it starts within me
To keep my mind at ease
So go on and put the globe down
On my finger let it spin
And that is the very message
That I have to send
So that everyone will know
Who is in control
As the story unfolds
In the hand God holds
Back in the mind of times
See it for what I find
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I am bringing back the old days
Seeing these brutal type ways
Twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world
I can twirl the world
While it spins I can twirl the world

My soul has a hole in it's pocket
And the pennies, they leave a trail
If you say you want my two cents
Then, come on down
And pick up what I've left behind
My mind has a curtain with tattered ends
And the wind just blows on through
If you say you need shelter from the sun
Then, come on down
And rest your weary head
My heart is beating to creepy tune
And the shivers run up my spine
If you say you need a story
Then, come on down
I have got one to tell to you
My song that I'm singing has no end
And the rhythm is like the sea
If you say you got the blues
Then, come on down
This boat will bring you through
My soul has a hole it's pocket
Bad memories, they leave a trail
If you say you need a fresh start
Then, come on down
I've found the path for you

You have to fly
to keep your wings,
You have to look
to see better things;
You must have faith
otherwise, you'll fall,
and before you can run
you first, must crawl;
How can you have hope
if you don't believe?
If you don't even try
You'll never achieve;
If you wan't to know
you'll just have to learn,
You can not touch fire
and expect no burn;
You must wake up
before you can dream,
and it can look like gold
but that thing won't gleam;
You have to be honest
if you want the truth,
to see into the future
Take a look at the Youth;
If you want it to be Love
it must touch the Heart,
Love never has to end
if you know where to start;
Don't ever feel alone
We all get hurt,
Every beautiful flower
Must Rise up from the Dirt.

Soulful sista
Strolling in her full spirited stride
Just couldn't hide
From my heart's searching eye's
that I swore I
wouldn't allow to be blinded by this mindless modern day luv no more
Until that particular half second
I wanted to run-------grab her by the hands!!!!!!
take her down to see the Reverend
I didn't have any spare time that was to be wasted
Wanted to recycle my trashy reputatation
Down My image Un-til- it was raw
So that.....
It could be steamed and not fried
Not viciously devoured
Hope that I'm a genourous helping
That'll nurture your body and soul
and in no way be unhealthy
One who'd always fill you up, never leave you empty
Be your top and bottom money maker and not once will you ever have to pimp me

Oh how sweet and beautiful are the words
that you say to me, they stick to my soul
like honey to a bee. They move me,
they soothe me, they let me live, for
it is you that I need and my heart
I will give.
You touched me like I never have
felt before, you start my heart breathing
so fast until I can hardly let go.
I feel your words like sand on a beach
they are still in my head and will never
decease. Your words are so brand
new and alive, for they are the only
thing that is helping me to survive.
You touched my heart like no other I have
known, the way in which you love me
I wil never do you no harm. Your words
is like an ocean running free, all I want
them to do is pour all over me.
You touched my heart like a child playing
with a toy, he love it so much because
it brings him so much joy. That is how
you touch my heart, giving and bringing
me so much joy, it makes me feel like
a child with his new toy.
You touched my heart every day of my
life, that is why I do not care about all
the sacrifice. I wil do everything to make
you happy just as long as I know I am
the apple of your eye and that you will
do or say nothing to make me
You touched my heart from this day
forward, there can never be another
you because you are what I need and
it is me for you and you for me that
is the only way it is going to be.
you touched my heart.

generic minds listen to generic music
have generic thoughts that are unknowingly abusive
watch generic things talk about generic things
gee this generic *****is spreading like a disease
better get your flu shot
thats what they said to me
a suicidal vaccine
a subliminal killing spree
its contagious and the outrageous
thing about it is that the people are blind in an eye
that they didn't even know they had
it's sickening to watch these clueless civilians
inside the looking glass
with nightmares of being free
without a key to their mind
for it is trapped in the frequency
in the illusion of time
bathed in our universe
killing all that refuse to see
those that admit to hypocracy
or see the message in hip hop
how cant you see
the message in the lyrics that
bring adolescents to their knees
from bullet wounds conflicting their flesh
contradicting that they're the best
but the songs keep telling them that they dont need no rest
that they dont wanna go home
that they should ride alone
with the gat as their only companion
and so the only path they choose is the one that they're told
until they grow old and hope turns to a window pane
inside a window pane, until all they feel is pain
they realize that the music itself is ashamed
so whats to look up to
when you cant even speak when you cant even walk because you look so bleak
your eyes are sunken from the tv you're infested with the dee zees
now its too late to turn around and live for your conscious
so when youre screaming oh please
close your eyes and bring your mind to life
open your eyes for the first time
and never wonder why
since the answer this entire time
has been inside
and you better find it before you die
you dont want your soul to be in a pool with all the others
a buncha brothers missing their mothers
but only seeing strangers
only feeling the haters
wishing they would have used their minds when they had them
and now its too late,
now it's time for another new born fate to grab them

Such an Amazing girl god put into my life.
He knew i needed you at that exact time
Funny when we met I thought you were to good for me
But when you approached me the sweetest girl I did meet.
From that day on we have never truly been apart cause I
carry you around everywhere in my heart. You have been the
rock when I needed a friend around, you have been the light
when the darkness consumed me and took away my sunshine
Even when were miles apart the phone connects us and keeps
our strongest bond. 17 years feels like such a short time but
I feel I have always had you in my life. Soul Sisters we were
meant to be.. You my beloved friend are such a fresh breeze
Even after a year apart it was like yesterday that we did part
so through the many miles and through the long hard road
I know this friendship will always survive. Your a burst of joy
to me each day I thank the Lord for the sweet blessing he gave!

I was just trying to remember the past
trying to remember the good people
and the bad people,
that i came across on my way,
i want you to know
that you are among the good people
that left a good trace in my life,
once again i just want to say thank you
for passing through my life,
is so short but is wonderful
i want you here forever.

A fine true haiku
Words set in five seven five
Poetry breathing
Copyright © James Burns | Year Posted 2010
Verse 1
I've had this dream now for a while,
But the real world's where I choose to stay,
The time is now for standing up,
To reach out for that brighter day.
Unite to lend a hand to those who are in need,
Unite against them, whose souls are consumed by greed,
Unite and lend a hand, and we can change the world,
We're the ones we've been waiting for.
Verse 2
Walking past two souls holding hands,
I see that it's true love conquers all,
A dreamland where we all sing and dance,
And hands to catch us should we fall.
United, it's in our hands,
United, it's how we stand,
United, across all lands.
Empathy, we understand,
Together, it's how we stand,
Unite with one voice, One Hand.

LUCENE-5906: Use Files.delete everywhere instead of File.delete
Hi the patch did not pass, too. The problem here is simple: the file was made read-only, so cannot be deleted. You need to add f.setWritable(true); at the end of test.
Otherwise it passes on windows, I ran the whole test suite ignoring failures and this was the only one broken.
New patch fails in datacorrumpterhandler:

I removed this delete (its unnecessary, if it wants to do it, should be in tearDown anyway, and test cleanup will take care correctly).
I also fixed exception messages for IOUtils.rm, thanks!
The harrness "h" should create a new autocleaned directory. I think in this test just one of the file in there keeps open.
Previously the test just ignored the return value from delete.
Maybe it doesn't need to delete at all. But i saw this newDir created as:
File newDir = new File(h.getCore().getDataDir() + "index_temp");
So I was afraid to remove the delete() (and replaced it with a picky one), because i don't know if this directory is a child of one called from LuceneTestCase (which is guaranteed to be cleaned up correctly) or instead created in some arbitrary way.
This reproduces, it is not caused by virus scanner!
The problem here is two:
- the Exception message is broken
- the test is broken on windows (should reproduce on jenkins)
For me Lucene tests worked in windows.

Updated patch removing Arrays.asList/singleton stuff with varargs sugar instead.
Yeah, lemme try to fix that.
At first, when looking at lucene-core, i didnt think even IOUtils methods for deleting were justified. Then i saw how many places were doing this, but tried to keep the minimal set here. And you are right, i didnt want to duplicate with varargs. But we should just use asList to avoid this (in close, too).
Maybe we should refactor the IOUtils a bit and provide varargs variants that simply delegate to Arrays.asList(varargs).
We should also cleanup other code duplication in IOUtils and solely use asList()!
Wow, this is great: +1 to commit. Crazy all the places in our sources that we had for deleting files...
Updated patch, with full cutover to Files.delete() (and File.delete() banned in forbidden apis).
This forced me to review all code deleting files, and I had to plug some leaks in suggesters, hunspell, offline sorter.
Additionally to prevent such leaks, i had to add some IOUtils methods like deleteFilesIgnoringExceptions and so on.
I moved TestUtil.rm to IOUtils, and fixed its exception messaging to return the actual exception messages for each file it couldnt delete. This is now used several places in source too (that had their own duplicate "rm" methods).
I think we should do this as a step, because deleting files is about the most dangerous thing our code can do. So we really need real exceptions here in case something goes bad.
Later we should investigate what Uwe suggests (Path api). This would be good to look at for lucene 5, but this patch is heavy enough.
Yeah, we should fix this!
In the future we can also start to cut over everything to Path, because we can use "virtual filesystems" after that (e.g. put an index into a readonly ZIP file and let FSDirectory open it from inside the ZIP file using a Zip Filesystem Path - this may be useful for some - maybe...).
In my opinion, we should also add the "old" methods to forbidden-apis. And much later put whole "java.io.File" into forbidden!
start of a patch. i just fixed FSDirectory. We should probably look for more places.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Running back Priest Holmes will practice
Wednesday for the first time since a severe 2005 head and neck
Chiefs coach Herm Edwards repeated Tuesday there's a chance
Holmes could play at Oakland.
The Chiefs traded backup running back Michael Bennett to Tampa
Bay for draft picks on Tuesday, creating a spot behind starter
Larry Johnson and adding to speculation they might activate Holmes
in time for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Holmes "will put the pads on. He will put the helmet on.
Whether he participates in the [Oakland] game or not, we'll see how
practice goes," Edwards said.
Holmes sustained neck and spinal injuries in a game at San Diego
on Oct. 30, 2005, when he was hit by Shawne Merriman. He was placed
on the physically unable to perform list and stayed there until he
showed up at training camp in River Falls, Wis., claiming he'd seen
himself playing football in a dream.
The three-time Pro Bowler, who turned 34 this month, appears to
have lost about 10 pounds since July and looks fit.
Holmes is eligible to come off the inactive list this week, and
the Chiefs have 21 days beginning Wednesday to either activate
Holmes, place him on injured reserve or waive him.
Chiefs president Carl Peterson said he expects Holmes to be
activated sooner rather than later.
"My sense right now is that he will be ready to go," Peterson
said. "I've said a thousand times, those people who question
Priest Holmes are very foolish. Throughout his entire career, he's
always come back. When he called me last spring shortly before
training camp and told me he would like to do this one more time, I
felt that I owed him that opportunity."
When Holmes was healthy he was one of the most productive
running backs in the NFL. He owns 18 Chiefs single-game and career
records, including career marks for yards rushing (5,933), total
touchdowns (83) and TDs rushing (76).
Edwards said it won't be long before he knows whether Holmes is
"If he can go out there and practice pretty well, and feels OK
after practice, that's good for us and for him. We'll know this
week," Edwards said. "It's been three months. Either he's ready
to go or he's not. Another week won't make much of a difference.
He's prepared. He's been mentally into it. He's working his tail
"For a guy his age to go through what he's gone through over
the last three months, you have to take your hat off to the guy."

Guest wrote:Howard509 wrote:For the record, I'm a pacifist. I oppose the use of violence as a political tactic.
the question of whether or not to use violence as a political tactic is the wrong question. it's an attempt to shift the burden of proving the legitimacy of one's actions from the perpetrator to the victim.
the first question to ask is, do we support resistance to victimization.
if we don't support resistance, then we're definitely pacifists. if we do support resistance, then we may or may not be pacifists.
the question then becomes, what level of resistance do we support. if the answer is, only nonviolence, then we're pacifists. if the answer is, whatever level is necessary, no more, no less, then we're not pacifists.
assuming we support resistance on a level necessary to end the victimization, the question then becomes, who is the victim.
once we determine who the victim is, it's time to act.
it's not always obvious who the victim is. see israel-palestine. if you look to the corporate media for clues, it's obvious that israel is a hapless victim of terrorism. but we all know that's a lie.
bringing it back to the abstract, if workers, who produce everything we see around us, are victimized by capitalists and their state coordinators, and if resistance to victimization is justified, and if we're not pacifists, then what action should workers take?
if workers could get capitalists and their state coordinators to stop victimizing them, simply by asking, so be it. but we know that doesn't work. look through history at all the tactics that workers have tried, to resist their victimization. nothing has worked. capitalism remains in effect and the state coordinators continue to do the bidding of capitalists. when capitalists order their state coordinators to violently crush the nonviolent efforts of workers to resist victimization, the workers are justified in responding in kind. the only people who would disagree are capitalists, their state coordinators, and pacifists. if pacifists are comfortable in said company, so be it. but don't let them claim to be in favor of anything resembling anarchy, because ultimately they're not. when push comes to shove, they favor putting their heads down and following orders. i favor workers taking control of their productive activity and resisting all attempts to stop them. i would prefer that capitalists and their state coordinators accept the offer to recant capitalism and statism and join workers in solidarity, but if they turn down that offer, then they've dug their own graves.

Twins score three in the ninth to defeat Seattle
MINNEAPOLIS (Sports Network) -- Ryan Doumit delivered a game-winning two- run triple off Seattle closer Tom Wilhelmsen in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Minnesota Twins got past the Mariners, 5-4, to knot this three-game series at a game apiece.
With Seattle leading 4-2, Wilhelmsen (0-1) took over in the ninth and walked the bases loaded before Josh Willingham brought the Twins within a run with a sacrifice fly to deep left field. Doumit then came up to bat and smacked a liner to right-center field, plating the decisive runs.
"I was looking for one spot and a pitch I could drive, and I got it," Doumit said of the hit.
Doumit had three hits and finished a home run shy of the cycle for Minnesota, which won for a fifth time in six games.
Caleb Thielbar (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his first-career win.
Jason Bay homered twice for Seattle, which had won four of six coming in.
Bay and Kyle Seager hit back-to-back homers in the first inning, providing Aaron Harang with some early run support. Bay took Twins starter Kevin Correia deep to left field while Seager lined a 1-0 offering into the stands in right.

DAYTONA BEACH (CBSMiami/ AP) — Attorneys are arguing a pregnant woman who drove her minivan into the ocean with her children inside, had a mental disorder.
Attorneys say the mental disorder kept Ebony Wilkerson, 32, from knowing the difference between right and wrong at the time.
Defense attorneys for Wilkerson filed a motion of intent to use an insanity defense. Public Defender James Purdy told the Daytona Beach News-Journal Monday that experts will testify that the 32-year-old from North Charleston, South Carolina, had a mental disease or defect in March, when she drove into the surf off Daytona Beach.
Purdy says the motion doesn't necessarily mean they'll use insanity as a defense, adding that not guilty remains the "number one" priority.
According to the motion, attorneys expect to prove Wilkerson had schizophrenia and a psychotic disorder.

I'm writing a plugin that runs a selection of commands when menu buttons are pressed, and captures the output into the Console window (the one shown with ctrl+`).
So in my plugin:
# setup
# ...
# now show the panel
self.view.window().run_command("show_panel", {"panel": "console" })
# now run the command
# ...
# now return focus to the editor
However, if I've got multiple Tab groups (by switching with alt+shift+2, for example) and I'm in the second pane, this always returns focus to group 0 (because that's what I've asked the function to do...)
Is there a way to make it return focus to the same one that gets focussed if I close the console (with Esc)?
I think you'll just need to get the active view:
window.focus_group(window.active_group()) should do what you're after
That's fantastic. I'm sure I tried something like that before, but must have got the incantation slightly wrong...
Thank you!
(ps, I'm so impressed by your support jps - truly brilliant editor with a great community, and a tentative dev. Can't ask for more!)

Change is in the Air
Posted by Dan
It has been an interesting couple of months at Resell.biz. There have been a few changes that you all might want to be aware of. Tom announced he would be leaving the company and seeking after some other interests. As a result, you'll see my involvement going forward.
I suppose an introduction is in order. Four years ago, I was just a casual industry consumer. I had a domain and an unmanaged server. I thought I knew everything there was to know about hosting. I was then offered an opportunity to get off the side lines and get in the game with what was WestHost, Inc. My responsibilities started with shaping their support team. WestHost Inc was purchased and with that my responsibilities grew. My team and I started to work support for many of the other various brands under the UK2 Group umbrella. Needless to say, I have had a great deal of experience with hosting and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The years since WestHost was acquired have been fast paced and challenging but that is what has kept it interesting.
It is now time for new challenge. With that I have been given the opportunity to get involved in the Resell.biz business. Yes, I will still be lightly involved in the support process for the UK2 Group as I can't abandon my roots. However, there are some really interesting offerings that we'll be launching before long. I am excited to work with you all as we continue to push and grow our business.
Best Regards,

Why it is done:
this test is done to monitor the level of activity in lupus as well as to aid in lupus diagnosis.
How it is done:
this test requires a blood sample to be taken usually from the arm.
What is the complement system:
the complement system is a set of blood proteins that are circulating, acting as mediators of the body's inflammatory response. They act especially in the destruction of viruses and bacteria. The complement system does not require previous exposure to a microorganism like antibodies do. It also does not keep a memory of encounters the way antibodies do. Antibodies also need time to be generated, the complement system does not. For these reasons the complement system is a very important part of the immune system and imbalances can adversely affect the integrity and function of the immune system.
What the test measures:
c3 and c4 are the most commonly measured complement compounds. Ch50 and ch100 (total complement activity) will be measured if your doctor suspects deficiency that is not measured by c3 or c4.
How the test is used to monitor lupus activity:
since the complement system is used by the body to help clear immune complexes from the blood, it can be used to monitor activity in lupus, particularly with glomerulonephritis and vasculitis.
Normal levels:
normal levels vary based on a number of factors including gender, age, and the lab doing the testing. Here is a basic guideline:
c3 - males: 88 to 252 mg/dl (880 to 2520 mg/l)
females: 88 to 206 mg/dl (880 to 2060 mg/l)
c4 - males: 12 to 72 mg/dl (120 to 720 mg/l)
females: 13 to 75 mg/dl (130 to 750 mg/l)
what low levels mean:
low complement levels in lupus usually mean increased disease activity. When the body uses the complement system to clear immune complexes from the blood it results in low complement levels. The complement proteins are not produced as quickly as they are being used.

Antilphoslipid antibody syndrome and low c3 c4 levls
I have tested positive once only for antiphospholipid antibody sydrome. I have had 5 miscarriges and one live birth at 24 weeks only because I was taking fragmin. I have had a complete blood workup done and now am told I have low c3 and c4 complement levels. I get sick all of the time and it usually takes me longer than normal to recover. What does this all mean and is the antiphospholipid antibody syndrome and low c3 c4 complement levels all related. I am only 38 and am trying to have another baby. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Check for Lupus
If you have not been evaluated for Lupus, I strongly suggest you talk to your doctor about it. APS syndrome and low complement levels are both common in Lupus.

Low C3 C4 complement levels,what does this mean?
I have been tested for lupus and it was negative. Can lupus results come back negative and then positive if you are re tested down the road? Yet I continue to get sick. In the last 9 months I have had three colds with this last one leading to a viral pnemonia. I also recently cut my arm, 2 of the stiches popped and I ended up getting an infection in my arm that required IV Vancomycin for a week. I am so tired of always getting sick and feeling tired all of the time. I have had two failied IVF cycles, numerous failed IUI's, 5 miscarriges, and the doctors at the fertility clinic say my eggs are old and just aren't responding well to the drugs. I have also tested mildly positive once to anti phospho lipid anti body syndrome. My last pregnancy that I did manage to carry to 24 weeks was because I was taking baby aspirin and fragmin.
I have gotten a re referrel to the Dr. that did my workup on me before and checked for lupus, and he was the one that told me my c3 c4 complent levels were low. He tested them twice and both times they were low. All he could tell me was that I was immune comprimised and he did not know why?
I am due to go in for ivf egg donor in the summer time but I want to see this specialist again and have another blood workup done prior to doing the ivf egg donor.
If anyone has any suggestioins or information for me please write me directly.
Thank you

I'm finding that my expectation that the novelty of this would wear off soon is coming to pass. I'm actively working on sipping it down, now.
I think I'm learning that in general I don't do well with unusual flavors, except, perhaps, in rooibos blends or if they're fruity concoctions. The non-fruity ones sit too heavily. I'm obviously not counting in this things like chocolate and nut flavors per se. Just things that are meant to conjure a completely different food rather than a flavor or two.
Fortunately, the BF likes it, which will make the sipping down go twice as fast.
Preparing with boiling water as directed seems to keep the "butter" from turning chemical-y, so that's good to know. I saw some pieces of cinnamon in the blend I steeped this morning, but I'm still not getting a lot of cinnamon.
Though I stand by my assessment that this lives up to its name, the way it has been hitting me the last couple of days makes it difficult for me to justify leaving it at a rating of 82.
It should get very high technical marks for evoking this flavor (a 90 or so) but for me, anyway, the more I drink it, the less I enjoy it.
Docking some points.

The Bardstown Community Theatre has a new take on the Dracula legend.
"The Count Will Rise Again or Dracula in Dixie" will be performed at the Bardstown/Nelson County Civic Center.
The comedy horror spoof revamps the classic tale by introducing the villainous Count Dracula as a Yankee vampire from Pennsylvania.
The action takes place on the plantation of Doc Stewart, a proper Southern gentleman physician who runs a kind of halfway house of "recovering politicians and other emotionally disturbed persons."

Four experts will examine Schaffhausen
In a brief hearing this morning, St. Croix County Judge Howard Cameron ruled that the prosecution may have two mental health experts examine the man accused of killing his three daughters in River Falls last summer.
In mid-January, Aaron Schaffhausen, 35, who has been held in the county jail since last July, pleaded not guilty by reason of mental defect or illness to three counts of first-degree intentional homicide.
Schaffhausen has already been examined by a mental health expert hired by his attorney and will be examined by another appointed by the court, probably next week.
Wednesday morning's hearing was called at the request of prosecutor Gary Freyberg, who asked that Schaffhausen be compelled to cooperate with the mental health exams, that two state-appointed experts be allowed to interview the accused, that a defense attorney not be present during the interviews and that Schaffhausen be reminded of the consequences of not cooperating with examiners.
"I don't see any reason to have this hearing at all," said public defender John Kucinski, who objected mainly to subjecting his client to two examinations by the prosecution's experts.
"We're not going to allow two," said Kucinski, noting that the defense had only one expert examine Schaffhausen and the court has appointed only one expert to examine him.
The law sets no limit on the number of experts the state may have interview the accused, said Judge Cameron, ruling for the prosecution.
Schaffhausen is charged with three counts of homicide and one count of arson in the deaths of his daughters, Amara, 11, Sophie, 8, and Cecilia, 5, on July 10 in their River Falls home at 2790 Morningside Ave.
Another pretrial motion hearing is set for Friday, March 1. The judge directed both sides to prepare a list of motions they want dealt with at that hearing.

Here is an update to the subgraph function to handle a list of edges. If edges are not specified, then it reverts to the original functionality (returning an induced subgraph).

Please include a fresh patch that comes from a clean install of sage 2.8.11. The base version does not match. Also, the function subgraph(vertices) returns the induced subgraph with the given vertices and *all* edges from the original graph whose endpoints are in vertices. Perhaps the current function should be renamed induced_subgraph, and you could make a separate subgraph_from_edges() function. It also occurs to me that we don't yet have an is_subgraph fucntion...

I should have mentioned to apply the patches in #1088 to the clean version first, then patch on top of that.
Thanks, Robert M
comment:4 Changed 10 years ago by
You're right, #1088 should be applied first. This patch modifies a doctest in #1088 to be more sensible. I was going to include the better doctest in #1088 to keep both patches more self-contained, but then the doctests wouldn't have passed after only applying #1088. Did applying this patch after #1088 resolve the issue or would you still like me to rebase against 2.8.11?
As to the subgraph function: I think it's a reasonable idea to say that the subgraph function returns a graph that is the intersection of what is currently in the graph and the restrictions that you pass relating to vertices and edges (as represented by a list of "allowable" vertices and/or edges you pass the subgraph function). If you pass just a restriction on the vertices to include in the subgraph, then there is no restriction on the edges and you get an induced subgraph. If you pass a restriction on the edges, then you get a graph with the same vertices as the original graph, but with possibly fewer edges (that is what the added doctest tests). If you pass a restriction on both the edges and vertices, then the returned graph only has vertices from the vertex set you passed and edges from the edge set you passed. I don't think that we need to make several different functions for this feature. But if you think it would be clearer to have several functions, let me know.
One of the things I'm trying to do here is consolidate functionality when it makes sense so that we don't end up having hundreds of different functions that people have to remember. I guess the question here is whether it makes sense.
As for the is_subgraph function, I believe that that problem is quite a bit harder (in a technical sense) than the graph isomorphism problem, even if you restrict to induced subgraphs. I suppose it would be fairly easy, though, to implement an is_induced_subgraph function by taking k-subsets of the vertices and asking if the induced subgraph is isomorphic to a given graph.
A related feature request is for functions dealing with graph minors (constructing minors, asking if a graph is a minor of another, etc.).
Thanks for your comments and suggestions!
comment:5 Changed 10 years ago by
The reason I was asking you to rebase is that I already patched up the doctests from 1088 (the second patch there). As far as patches go, you can do one of the following:
1) Wait for sage-2.8.12 to be released, and do a patch on top of that.
2) Apply *both* patches in ticket 1088 to a fresh 2.8.11, and do a patch on top of that.
You've convinced me that these functionalities should be in the same function. I was just thinking that the name "subgraph" was a little misleading for a function name. Under your interpretation, all of these would be induced subgraphs, so to speak. I don't know if induced_subgraph is better, since the first thing anyone would look for would be subgraph anyway, and it's shorter to type...
Indeed, the subgraph isomorphism problem is NP-complete, but I was just talking about *is* subgraph, as a subset. Same vertices, same exact edges. I could see this being useful in some situations.

Corrected bugs, rebased against 2.8.12, and put in more comprehensive doctests.

'The Choir': A Fair and Honest Record
In The Choir, choirmaster Gareth Malone encourages young kids' increasing self-confidence, as well as their reliance on and support of each other.
The whole point of human society is that we get together and we enjoy each other. Choirs are the culmination of that and an expression of something that is deeply personal and deeply healing.
-- Gareth Malone
In The Choir, Gareth Malone sets out to bring choral music to schools and neighborhoods that lack classical music programs. A success in the UK since 2006, the show promotes community, cooperation, and confidence. Call it the anti-American Idol: where that show singles out and glorifies the individual, a choir is, for all intents and purposes, about sublimating the individual, blending multiple selves to produce a unified whole.
For The Choir, Malone, choirmaster for the London Symphony Orchestra's community choir, actually pursues three separate projects. First, he goes to Northolt High School, where, in nine months, he hopes to create a choir of 25 students good enough to compete at the World Choir Games in China. Second, he organizes a 100-member choir at Lancaster Boys School who will perform at Royal Albert Hall (this series, called The Choir: Boys Don't Sing when it originally aired in the UK on BBC 2, won a BAFTA award in 2009). Finally, Malone aspires to build a community choir in South Oxhey, a neighborhood with a bad reputation, to produce a community choral festival. In all cases, he faces deeply entrenched, class-based preconceptions. As he puts it, "The perception that classical music is a middle class pursuit is a really tough one. Traditionally, it has been, but there's no reason why it should be."
The series, premiering on BBCA on 7 July, begins as at Northolt High School, which has never had a choir. Students scoff when Malone makes his intentions known at a school assembly, but still, 170 of them turn out to audition. Among these, there are quite a few students with real, if raw, talent like Melody and Enoch Chege or Rhonda Connell (who will later emerge as a real leader of the group). Some students are less able.
But these struggling auditioners have a different impact than those on Idol. In the first place, they're quite young, some only 12 years old. Secondly, they are, as Malone seems surprised to discover, "massively under-confident," none presuming he or she is very talented. Rather, they appear to be taking enormous personal risks: the look of sheer terror on their young faces is no joke, and neither is the thinly veiled pain of rejection. Trying to cover up her tears with a smile, one girl explains, "I'm gutted. I really am. I pretended like it was okay." The show respects such effort and grace, rather than making fun of them.
Out of the 1300 students, only 12 boys whose voices have broken turn up for the auditions. Most of these are still learning to manage their new, deeper voices, flailing between upper and lower registers or defaulting to singing falsetto. Malone notes that it is during this difficult change that most men fall out of love with singing. He is eventually forced to recruit older boys from the sixth form, enticing them with the potential trip to China, biscuits, and the chance to be in a group with lots of girls.
Once the choir is selected, they have four weeks to learn and record a song for their qualification CD for the World Choir Games. It's a rough sound at best, but it's all they can get done in the one-hour of recording time they can afford. They each receive a copy of the CD for Christmas, with a note containing Malone's assessment: it has good moments and not-so-good moments, but it is a "fair and honest record of how we sounded that day."
Throughout the training period, Malone deals with the usual issues (tardiness, loss of interest, absences, and the occasional quitter), as well as various personal dramas. He invests in misunderstood and troubled Chloe Sullivan; the Cheges wait to find out if their father will be allowed to join them from Kenya; Ashley and Josh Mills won't sing Vivaldi's "Gloria" or Purcell's "Fair Isle" because the religious content conflicts with their Jehovah's Witness beliefs (though Ashley auditions for the choir by singing "Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee").
The kids' increasing self-confidence is premised on their reliance on and support of each other: Weak singers are seated with strong ones, hard workers confront those not pulling their weight. When the tenors continue to struggle with their part only days before a concert for parents, the other students press them to catch up. After a brutal second round of cuts, the distraught remaining choir members air their grievances to Malone, a discussion that turns to issues of fairness and honesty, mainly his. He is unapologetic, insisting they face yet another aspect of reality TV: they are, in the end, competing with one another.
Throughout, the series maintains a lovely balance between seeking the goal and appreciating the long-term benefits of the experience. The kids can't know, at first, the high level of competition they will face in China, and they seem equally unselfconscious of the enormity of their own personal changes. Most remarkably, even as it follows these unfolding and frequently moving storylines, The Choir doesn't feel contrived.
