Hampton 350
1638 -- 1988
Rockingham County Newspaper -- July 8, 1988
Hampton Union and Seacoast Online.]
By Bruce E. Ingmire
Contributing Writer
Probably the most colorful of the ecclesiastics that arrived in New England in the 17th century, Stephen Bachiler, the founder of Hampton, was a tolerant minister who consistently threatened Puritan attempts to establish an orthodox point of view.
Bachiler was over 70 when he arrived in New England. After moving from Lynn to Yarmouth on Cape Cod, and then to Newbury on Cape Ann, Bachiler finally settled in what is now known as Hampton, where he came under the criticism of his more conservative Puritan assistant, Timothy Dalton. Work of men like Bachiler, though, left the precedent for individuality that New Hampshire came to cherish.
The vehemence of the fight in Hampton over his ministry, however, may well be the source of some of the mythology. Bachiler's assistant, the teacher Dalton, fought hard to discredit the aging minister, and any modern historian must carefully review the story to distill the facts.
Dedham, Mass., Dalton's previous home, was the site of an early town split that reveals strong contention and disagreement. Ministers like Dalton and their enthusiastic supporters were just as likely as anyone to circulate rumors to discredit opposition. Bachiler is important in the history of New Hampshire because, like John Wheelwright and Thomas Walford, he was another banished Bay Colony settler who journeyed north.
The history of their early New Hampshire settlements shows that democratically organized towns could flourish without orthodox or even consistent views. It was the early survival of these communities despite their diversity and dissension that demonstrated multiple religious values and political ideas could exist in a single community. It was this development that led to the concept of the separation of church and state, but this realization came too late for early settlers like Bachiler when men like Dalton still assumed there was one Puritan view in Massachusetts.
There were seven settlers with the name Bachiler who arrived in the colonies. In the mode of the day, most English families varied the spelling of their surname from village to village to distinguish each family, just as in each Irish fishing village a unique knitting stitch was developed to identify the home of drowned seamen whose bodies washed ashore. The spelling of surnames was similarly varied to help in identification. A man by the name of Alexander Batchelder, for instance, settled in Portsmouth but was not related to Stephen. Later, as spelling of names became standardized, the descendants of Stephen adopted the Batchelder spelling of the other family.
Born in 1561
Bachiler has been called a "familist." Familism was one of the Elizabethan sects that was also political. Familists believed in prelapsarianism — that is, there was an Eden on Earth before Adam's fall. They also advocated holding property in common, as the Shakers would choose to do two centuries later. Familists accepted itinerant ministers and individual interpretation of the Bible.
After Elizabeth I's death in 1603, James I tried to establish order in his realm by insisting on orthodoxy. One of the earliest ministers to lose his living under this program was Bachiler, who was widely known as a non-conformist.
The Puritans were insistent upon an orthodox point of religious view, and neither individual interpretation nor itinerant ministers fit into the Puritan scheme. The Puritans evolved a strong clericalism during the entire 17th century. Late in his life, Bachiler adopted the idea of the settled ministry, as shown in Hampton. This is the Puritan approach to the ministry; he obviously rejected the notion of an itinerant ministry for what may have been practical considerations.
Separate But Involved
New England ministers, advocated a separation of church and state because they did not want to be threatened by political leaders, but they exercised their right as voters and participants to interfere in politics in the name of morality.
Bachiler may have been in favor such separation, but his participation in the local politics of Hampton may have aided his downfall.
Coming To America
Bachiler apparently planned to join that community but decided to cross the ocean after that first settlement failed. After his arrival in Charlestown, daughter Theodate Hussey joined her fellow Congregationals in calling him to Saugus as their settled minister. Bachiler became the source of controversy there because of questions revolving around the gathering of the church. On Oct. 3, 1632, he was admonished by the General Court but on May 6 1635, he became a free man.
By 1638, he finally arranged to go farther north and start the colony of Hampton. A few hardy souls were already settled there. Some had erected a trading house two years earlier in preparation of the impending move. Others had come earlier that year and settled to the west with John Wheelwright (in Exeter). Some 15 families started Hampton, and from the beginning there were disagreements about title to the land.
Timothy Dalton arrived within the first year of settlement. Insistent upon the Bay Colony prerogatives, Dalton constantly jousted with the aging Bachiler. The recorded disagreements revolved around Bachiler's personal conduct and not religious content. Rumors persisted that the octogenarian was involved with a female parishioner. This story has been taken for fact, yet no one ever stepped forward to make the specific charges or admit guilt. Bachiler apparently admitted considering such a dalliance, but insisted that it had never occurred.
That the woman never stepped forward suggests that these were trumped up charges. Unfortunately, in the nearby town of Dover, ministers Knowles and Larkham had been caught dallying with maids, so that the suspicious settlers were of a mind to suspect the worst of their enthusiastic ministers.
When he was 92, he became involved with a scurrilous woman, Mary Beadle. She became pregnant and Bachiler married her. Later she had a child by George Rogers, with whom she was accused of living. Court orders swirled and Bachiler soon left the colony. It was later reported by Mary Beadle Bachiler that the old man married once again when he returned to England. He died, at age 100, a few years later outside of London.
Unfortunately, the last episode gave credibility to the earlier rumors. However, the importance of Bachiler's life is not his escapades but that his life is representative of the independent Massachusetts settler who was drawn north in search of individual expression.
Portsmouth historian Bruce Ingmire's book, "Visual History of the Seacoast," will be published by Downing Company of Virginia. His article, "Goody Cole — The Witch Of Hampton," appears on Page 18 of this section.

Theme: Vampires
Group DescriptionGames that are inspired by vampires, a mythological undead creature of the night that feeds on the blood of the living in order to survive. A person supposedly becomes a vampire either when bitten by another vampire or through the dark arts of necromancy. The characteristics of vampires are widely diverse (some hate garlic, others eat them :p) depending on territorial myth/folklore, legend, or pop culture. The closest original source of the vampire myth may have originated from the Romanian Strigoi mythological creature.
Vampires today however, are usually referred to Western or local European cultures, greatly influenced by either Christian or Jewish mythology. May also include Chinese vampires, who like to jump up and down like bunnies (seriously). These vampires may include some of the several characteristics (specifications may vary):
- Undead (the creature is already dead, brought to life through unnatural means). May include other non-traditional means, such turning into a vampire through black magic, necromancy, or joining an accountant firm.
- Appearance may strike as pale as such person(s) not exposed to sunlight, similar to a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) fanboi.
- Drinks blood for survival and healing purposes. Vampires are equipped with supposedly two pointed teeth for this purpose. Usually targets the victim via main blood artery at the neck. Later adaptations include blood arteries at the wrist.
- Exposure to direct sunlight is considered lethal. The traditional 'stake through the heart' has a similar effect. Though a head-shot with a shotgun may result a similar desired effect (especially if loaded with silver bullets). Later adaptations however have introduced day walkers, referring to a vampire hybrid entirely unharmed by sunlight.
- Weakened (or allergic in scientific terms) by garlic, holy symbols (e.g. crucifix, blessed/holy water, etc.), people with diabetes; cannot cross over running water, etc.
- May have shape-shifting magical abilities, such as transforming into certain beast-like creatures: wolves, bats, rats, etc. No evidence has shown a vampire transforming into a Pokémon monster.
- May cast no reflections as they have no souls. Then again, neither do lawyers.
- May have the ability to charm the opposite sex (or anyone for that matter) or possesses overwhelming charisma almost equal to the approvers of MobyGames™, in order to manipulate individuals to do their bidding. This is the part where you should start getting suspicious.
- A movie: Nosferatu (1922);
- A novel: Bram Stoker's: Dracula (1897).
- For purposes of this game group, games where vampires do not play a predominate role in the plot/story/theme or are identified merely as random enemies, should be excluded from this game group.
- Fictional character: Count Dracula
- Protagonist: Vampire
- Theme: Haunted house
- Theme: Werewolves
- Theme: Zombies

On the challenges the club faced tonight:
You have to be patient and move the ball. You have to use soccer knowledge and then you can score goals. Sometimes it is tough to play games like this. If you are playing a man up you think that you don't have to work so hard because everything is going to be given. We know Eddie Johnson is good player and we have seen goals that he has scored like this. I think we failed to deliver.
On team effort level:
We were not playing smart. If everyone wanted to score a goal that would usually happen. Playing a man up, everyone wants to take a chance and score a goal and they miss a guy who probably is in a better spot. We had some chances where we could have scored. The one on the crossbar. Dominic [Oduro] had a chance. Those are chances where we need to score. Simple as that.
On game plan heading in:
I think we started the right way. We started with two fouls and worked really hard – that is where they got the send-off. We tried to change a couple of things – playing with three forwards, putting another midfielder in, playing with three in the back, but they defended well.
On the early red card:
They had some success after the send-off because they knew they had to work harder, run more and they kept some possession actually. For the next five to 10 minutes they were able to stick some passes. They did a good job of absorbing the pressure.
On the loss:
This is probably the one that is going to hurt the most. Put it that way.
On the feelings after the game:
I think especially with playing a man up the entire game, really we had chances and that's the hardest thing to stomach, and when you can't put them away, we gave away three points at home. So in that aspect it is very hard to deal with but we have to come out, we have a quick turn-around, so another home game and that is what we have to think about now
On how he feels the red card changed the game:
I felt like there was a lot more space on the field for both teams, I think Seattle sat back a lot more, which gave us opportunities but we could not capitalize and unfortunately we could not get it all together to get one in the back of the net, but I thought we did well a man up, just not well enough.
On what he saw on the goal:
He scored one almost exactly the same last week, we scouted it he is very good in the air, he is a national team player, when you get a player of that caliber he is not going to miss, he is going to make you pay. It was a good ball in by Rosales, unfortunately Johnson lost his mark and he buried it, so not much you can do.
On tonight:
We just had to do a little better finishing our chances. It is as simple as that.
On what changed in the game when Leonardo Gonzalez was issued a red card in the seventh minute:
They [Seattle Sounders] packed it in. You are pushing for the goal right away, especially when they score, so the whole dynamic of the game changes. You are pushing forward the whole game instead of keeping it and moving it side to side. It is not as easy as some people think.
On trying to get the goal after going up a man:
Yeah. Everyone is trying to help out. Sometimes there is a smarter pass than the shot. I think in a couple of chances if we had made a smarter pass, we could have been successful, but guys are tying their hardest out there.
On winning with 10 men:
We're happy with the three points. Obviously, it wasn't the way we drew it up. I think technically it's maybe a red card on Leo [Gonzalez], but I thought [Ryan] Finley was barely touched. He just fell over. We had one where somebody got barely touched, too. If they would have fallen over I wouldn't have claimed a red card there. We had to deal with that adversity and I thought our team showed a lot of character.
On weather delay:
I thought the team was good. We stayed pretty loose inside the locker room. We had a little game of cricket going with [Eric] Zavaleta pitching and Dempsey trying to hit, so they were occupied there. Having to get re-warmed up, I don't know if that contributed to Brad [Evans]'s injury or not, but obviously it's always a little difficult when you're dealing with a rain delay.
On Eddie Johnson's goal:
It was great. Good service from Mauro [Rosales]and Eddie [Johnson] is so good in the air. He's starting to get some headers for us. He got a lot of head ball goals last year, and he's got two now in the last couple of games for us, so he's definitely a weapon in the air, that's one of the things he presents and helps us with us and the National Team. He's just got to keep it going, it's great.
On the game overall:
Any time you go on the road, coming off of an emotional win at home against a rival, you don't want to dwell on the previous game and [Head Coach Sigi Schmid] talked about that as far as coming out with a good mentality and putting that game aside and knowing that it's going to be difficult here to play against Columbus because they need points as well as we need points. We knew it was going to be difficult. We had some challenges before the game with the rain delay and coming back in and after you get a good warm-up it's hard to get that going again. [Schmid] said we don't want to use excuses, and just for the game itself we talked about our team goals. One of our team goals was defending from top to bottom and getting something on the road. I feel like if we can defend well for 90 minutes plus we know that one goal can get us a victory on the road. We showed a lot of character. Hats off to my teammates, I though the back four, I thought Ozzie [Alonso], I thought Gspurning came up and made some good saves and I think it was a great collective team win tonight. I'm proud of my guys.
On his goal:
We're a good team on set pieces. I think one of my strengths is being dangerous in the box. Mauro Rosales and I have a good relationship. We showed last year the relationship that we had and it's starting to click again this year. I think four of the seven goals I've scored I think he's assisted and I think they've all been headers. We just want to as a team enjoy this win. It wasn't the prettiest soccer, but we knew they were going to have chances. Any team at this level is going to have chances up a man especially at their home in front of a good crowd. The fans here are great and they're behind them, but we got something out of the game and at the end of the day goals change games and I'm delighted to score tonight and for our team to have the three points tonight.
On responding to the red card and Brad Evans's injury:
To be honest, we were a bit frustrated just with the whole build-up to the game, with the rain delay, having a good warm-up and then being hyped and excited about going out and playing and then waiting for an hour in the locker room and then getting back out there and warming up again. It's difficult. For Brad Evans, who's played a lot of minutes, it showed with coming back in the locker room and waiting an hour to get back on the field. Hopefully he's okay for the National Team game, but for myself as a guy who's been playing a lot of minutes and who has been playing for the National Team I started to feel tired as well and I think it was smart of [Schmid] in bringing me out so I don't have the same risk that Brad [Evans] had. At the end of the day, for right now – the second part of the season – it's about getting better as a team whether it's from a tactical standpoint or a mental standpoint. I think we showed a lot of character and I think this team two months ago we lose this game, but we showed that when our backs are against the wall we're going to grind and try to get something out of the game. It wasn't the prettiest game, hats off to Columbus they really brought it to us and made it difficult for us and they were a bit unfortunate but we scored a goal that changed the game and we're happy with the three points.
On the delay and his back tightening up:
Yeah, it tightened up on me in the first half. I think it's from the delay. We go through our warm-up, come back inside, we wait around for 30 minutes, try to go back and warm-up again, that kind of stuff. I felt it. I think maybe that's what contributed to Brad [Evans] having to go out as well, but it didn't help that the red card made the game pretty boring, made it a difficult game. We just really had to stay compact defensively and maybe try to catch them on the counter, but we showed a lot of character and got the right result.
On going to play with the National Team:
We'll leave tomorrow. We've got two games, Costa Rica away and Mexico here in Columbus at home. It's important for us in these next four games to go get at least one win. If we do that, we'll be sitting in a good position so hopefully we can get that done.
On his 100th cap:
It's just cool to say that you've played 100 games for the National Team and I think it will be good just to get it out of the way and just have it under your belt and it's one thing that you can be proud of when you're old but the most important thing is not the 100th cap, it's about the team trying to get the right result in these next three games.

Rain, Shine, And Good Times
East Coast Rods And Customs At Rhinebeck
Up until a few years ago, there were some log buildings on the Dutchess County Fairgrounds in Rhinebeck, New York, where a bunch of guys and gals with traditional-built rods would hang out during the Goodguys East Coast Nationals. The setting inspired the name Fort Hot Rod. Although the buildings are gone, a bunch of traditional-minded rodders still congregate, and Fort Hot Rod lives on. But this group represents only a small fraction of the action at the East Coast Nats.
The guys at the gate let in all 1972-or-earlier vehicles, so in addition to rods, customs, and classic trucks, Rhinebeck is the place to see street machines, musclecars, and (as always) one or two vehicles that defy categories. As we expected, the styles ranged from period-correct traditional to high-tech contemporary. As we hoped, many of the traditional rides we saw had a look we associate with the East Coast: channeled stance, motorcycle-style fenders, square rollbars, and big numbers on the odometers. Despite the short season, rodders "back here" are big on driving their cars.

Teach Your Learners to Learn: How to Make Every Employee a Top Performer
Join Us for this Complimentary Webinar
Wednesday, September 16, 2015, 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM (US/Canada Pacific Time) all employees are
|Photo: Alex Khurgin
Director of Learning
Not all employees are equally skilled at learning. Some can't walk around the block without gaining new professional skills, whereas others seem to resist every attempt to reach them. At organizations that provide outdated, ineffective training, weak learners aren't getting anything at all and elite learners are fed up with poor development opportunities.
This status quo isn't working for anyone, but it's about to get a lot worse for companies. Today's improving economy means that disengaged top performers will be able to leave easily. Worse, it'll be extremely hard to fill their open positions with Millennial talent. Instead of training your top learners to leave, develop them to stay.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- Why not all employees are equally skilled at learning—and why that needs to change
- Techniques you can use to make learning work for everyone
- How learning can help you prioritize long-term growth
- The one way to cultivate innovation and engage top performers

Not sure what exactly, but it doesn't really hurt to swim (after the initial 200 or so of warmup. Backstroke is the only thing that bugs it in the pool, so I just avoid that (no real changes in my practices) I'm sure it's something related to all the work I've been doing lately.

The surname Hermans is in my husband's family tree (on his father's side), but I don't have George Hermans in my tree. It doesn't really mean that he's unknown to our family, I just don't put anything in my tree unless I can get sources first. It's evident (at least to me) that this must be a relative of some sort since the majority of the clipping in these scrapbooks are family, so let's see what I can find.
The clipping says that they were married in Dykesville which is an "unincorporated" place in Brown and Kewaunee counties, in other words, it's on the border. The newspaper was from 1966 so 60 years earlier would be 1906 and the Wisconsin Historical Society (gosh, I love that place!) has a searchable index of pre-1907 births, marriages, and deaths. Perfect!
There were actually TWO George Hermans that were married in 1966. One in June in Manitowoc county (nope) and one on October 17th in Kewaunee county (bingo!). So I click on the "details" link to see the record for the George in Kewaunee county and get the information I need to track down this record on my summer visit to the WHS (and duly noted the information in my research calendar so I don't forget!).
Now there's this cool feature when you're on the information page for a marriage record on the WHS' website. You can click on a link that says, "Search for possible spouse matches." It's not always correct (even if you only find one match...heck sometimes there is no match which I find funny, but is undoubtedly some kind of flaw in the grand-design. A fly in the ointment), but it can give you a good lead. There was only one match for George and that was an Adele Welis. So was Adele my George's wife?
Well, looking in the 1910 US Federal Census, I see that there are 3 George Hermans that come up on an "exact match" search on Ancestry.com. Only one of them is in Wisconsin and he lives in.....Kewaunee county with his wife, Ida. Same woman? Probably. The name is similar, but I want to check some other censuses and records to be sure. Plus the record on the WHS website could be wrong.
An extra jewel in the 1910 census tells me that George's 64 year old mother is a widow living with them. Her name is Antonetin (-ish). That should make is easier to find George before he got married too. It does appear the this Adele belongs to this George since I found them both in the 1930 census. Yay!
Now I didn't find George with any Antonetin/Antoinette/Anton-anything born around 1885 (a guess-timate from the 1910 and 1930 censuses), but I did find a George Hermans in the 1905 Wisconsin state census with his mother, Antoniette [sic]! She was still widowed so no dad for this census and no luck in the 1900 US census looking for George.
So since there is no 1890 census for Kewaunee, Wisconsin and George was born after the 1880 census, let's take a look at who I have for Antoinette's (born abt 1849) children in the 1905 census with estimated birth years: Jule (1877), Anton (1879), and George (1886). Let's see what I can see in the 1880 census.
In the 1880 US Federal Census there is a J. Baptiste and Antoinette "Ermans" living in the Charles "Ermans" household with their children, two of which are Julius and Anton! Now I don't speak Belgian, but I do know that many of the documents from Belgium were in French, Charles and his wife Josephine, were born in Belgium and if one of them gave the information to the census takers....well, let's just say that I can do a pretty
Now, Charles and Josephine Hermans nee Landeck are in my family tree. They are my hubby's 3rd great grandparents. So, for now, my deduction after this short-lived-online research and half a glass of wine is that the happy couple celebrating their Diamond Wedding Anniversary is Charles and Josephine Hermans' grandson. Not proven yet, but just you wait until I get to WHS in June and see if I can find some newspaper articles, birth, marriage, and death records on them! I've already found possible death record matches in the WHS database for Charles, Josephine and J. Baptiste in Kewaunee. We'll see if I turn up real gold or fool's gold!
"Wed 60 Years - Mr. and Mrs. George Hermans, Luxemburg, celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary recently. They were married in Dyckesville and have three children, seven grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren."
[From the Green Bay Press-Gazette, hand-dated Oct 16, 1966]
UPDATE: ...Yep...already. As it turns out, I don't need to pull these documents at WHS because I already did. They were in my file for research that still needed to find a home. My deductions were right and George, John Baptiste, and Antoinette will be finding their way into my family tree soon. As for Adele's maiden name. It was wrong in the spouse search on WHS. It's Nelis, not Welis. Close, but no cigar for the transcriber!

[Verse 1: Joe Budden]
Yo, I seen shorty on the staircase, in front of an empty beer case
Weird face, almost like he was scared straight
Like he ain't have a care in life (uh), wipin' tears from his eyes
That already appeared to have been dried
We chopped it, said he was adopted
And there's a lot of sh*t he just tucks in his closet (uh)
Real calm, said he'd always feel harm
And all he want to do is meet his real dad and real mom
All the nice home and clothes do is remind me (how when)
In all these years, they ain't even tried to find me
Never mind love, I feel like they never liked me
If I thought there was a God, I would ask the n*gga "why me?"
But some things you better off havin' never knew
Maybe they wanted better for you than they could ever do
You got a family, I see that you don't care for them
But love gon' always be love, no matter where it's from
What if I said your moms couldn't give birth
Contemplated leavin' Earth, 'til you brought her life worth
Whatever you goin through, could always be much worse
Don't make a mistake, mistakin' your blessings for a curse (so)
So, told dude you in the right place, right here
Can't run to your corner when life don't wanna fight fair (talk to 'em)
Things'll become quite clear
When you decide to wake up and stop havin' fantasies about a nightmare (oh!), yeah
[Chorus: Emanny (Joe Budden)]
They don't see, who you are
They too busy posin' (uh)
But the front won't go far
Just thank God your fantasy ain't real (welcome to real life)
Fantasy to real life
You got everything but ain't got nothin'
Fantasy to real life
You got everything but ain't got nothin'
(Welcome to real life)
[Verse 2: Joe Budden]
Yeah, you damn right she on her high horse
She say "don't worry 'bout hers n*gga, ride yours"
Before you talk, clean your own backyard
Souped up and sought after by the athletes and rap stars (uh)
Developin' a name, creepin to fame
She quick to trade her vagina for a seat at the game
And it's so foul, she don't see the shame
In the act or the fact that she view it as an equal exchange (oh!)
But she stay with the newest on, Louboutins
Buyin' groceries with coupons, sleepin' on a futon
No self-esteem to cover her lack of confidence
She get on Twitter, retweetin' all the compliments
Pretty face, nice strut with a nice butt
Disguise of a sl*t, only tryin' to get wifed up
But when it's party time, she won't be a second late
Once she leaves V.I.P., it's back home to Section 8
What confused me
Is n*ggas tried to kick it but she come across bougie, in her best friend's jewelry
Part-time mother (but), but somethin' real shady when her
Two year old daughter much closer to the babysitter (uh)
Cry when she alone, product of a broke down home (yeah)
Won't change 'cause she already grown (talk to 'em)
Already set in her ways, no need in tryin' to help (talk to 'em)
So she'd rather find wealth before she can find herself (oh!), yeah
[Chorus: Emanny]
They don't see, who you are
They too busy posin' (yeah)
But the front won't go far (uh)
Just thank God your fantasy ain't real (welcome to real life)
Fantasy to real life
You got everything (tah) but ain't got nothin'
Fantasy to real life (uh)
You got everything but ain't got nothin' (talk to 'em)
[Break: Emanny (Joe Budden)]
You can be what you want
But it's too much for ya to let go
Ain't got to be somethin' else (uh)
Better off just bein' yourself
Ain't gonna get you far (never)
When you gonna wake up and deal with the real life?
The real life
(Tah, welcome to real life)
[Verse 3: Joe Budden]
Real quick, let me introduce y'all to Maverick
Lifetime addict, who recently kicked the habit (uh)
Lookin' for a job, companies won't let him have it
'Cause there's drug and gun charges up and down his whole jacket (uh)
Constantly rejected, can't deal with the aggravation (so)
So now he scared to be honest on the application
Past caught up, 'cause every door shuts like "sorry we can't help ya"
Then it's back home to the shelter (oh!)
Nothin' to lose, givin' up like many other minions
Pendin' his trial in the court of public opinion
'Til he got a call from a temp agency
Said they had a void, asked could he fill the vacancy? (okay)
Unlike what he appears, been employee of the month for a year (I guess)
Self doubt is related to fear
And they'll never replace him
If ya gon' catch up with your dreams, gotta be willin' to chase them (oh!), yeah
[Chorus: Emanny]
They don't see, who you are
They just see your posin'
But the front won't go far
You can turn your fantasy to real
Fantasy to real life
You got everything but ain't got nothin'
Fantasy to real life
You got everything but ain't got nothin', nothin', nothin'

Exclusive VMware has taken Hortonworks to court along with four ex-VMers who now work at the startup - and among them is VMWare's former global sales chief.
Virtualisation juggernaut VMware is taking on the little elephant Hortonworks over claims that the Hadoop vendor committed "unfair practices" - the details of which were not confirmed in the initial filing. However, El Reg understands that the litigation may involve allegations of staff poaching.
On Thursday morning, VMware filed legal papers against Hortonworks Inc; the company's president Herb Cunitz; Hortonworks' enterprise accounts manager Taylor Ivey; vice president of global technical services Jamie Engesser; and Melissa Warner, whose Hortonworks' job title is not clear.
All four hail from VMware's SpringSource, its open-source Java division.
Neither company would comment on the details of the case, but a well-placed source told The Reg that VMware had taken action over an alleged breach of non-solicit clauses in contracts of those who'd left and also over the alleged theft of trade secrets.
Non-solicits are written to stop those who've left a company from approaching, hiring or introducing their new employer to their former company's current staff.
Those losing a claim for unfair practices in California face potentially unlimited penalties under state law. The case has been filed with the Superior Court of California in Santa Clara.
In a statement, Hortonworks told The Reg VMware's action had no merit "and is the legal equivalent to bullying".
The Apache Hadoop Big-Data muncher's spokesperson continued: "Any allegation that the decisions of former employees to leave and go to work for Hortonworks resulted from improper conduct is ridiculous. People have every right to freely pursue opportunities with any company they believe will advance their personal and professional objectives, and should not be limited in any way from doing so."
Hortonworks - a Yahoo! spinout - and the individual defendants have asked the court to compel arbitration to end the matter.
VMware will be on weak ground if it tries to catch out Hortonworks for breach of non-solicit clauses. The Supreme Court of the State of California in 2008 ruled non-solicit provisions in employment agreements are illegal and break state law.
However, an unfair practice litigation does give plaintiffs the right to take action against "intentional interference" in "contractual relations" to obtain business advantage. These are points VMware may seek to exploit.
Warner, Engesser and Ivey had all occupied important sales, account management or engineering positions inside VMware's SpringSource business until 2012. They joined Hortonworks in August, October and December of last year respectively, according to their LinkedIn profiles.
However, Cunitz was the biggest VMware fish named in the filing, having occupied the position of vice president of worldwide sales for SpringSource at VMware. It's not clear when Cunitz joined the startup, as his LinkedIn profile still has him at VMware - where he moved after the firm's acquisition of SpringSource - but his CrunchBase profile puts the hire at November 2012.
The four individual defendants with their teams would have sold VMware customers the Spring framework combined with vSphere and provided crucial post-sales support and engineering. They will have detailed knowledge of important and lucrative VMware accounts running Spring in conjunction with vSphere.
VMware bought SpringSource in a celebrated deal in August 2009 for $420m to develop integrated Platform-as-a-Service offerings using the open-source Java framework and VMware's vSphere hypervisor virtualization management software. More attractive, though, was Spring's vast community of devs using the ubiquitous framework - whom VMWare hoped to turn into supporters of its software and cloud.
Hortonworks, meanwhile, is trying to build a business based on services and support for users of the Hadoop, the open-source data crunching framework based on Google's MapReduce.
The four defendants are not VMware's only losses to Hortonworks. VMware's Spring unit has haemorrhaged sales, support and technical staff to the startup over the last two years.
Today, Hortonwork's chiefs of corporate strategy and of business development – both senior management along with Cunitz – its vice presidents of sales, regional sales managers, global head of field, senior director of professional services and its director of marketing all hail from VMware's Spring biz.
Hortonworks' chief executive is Rob Bearden, the Benchmark Capital venture capitalist who initially came on board as an early stage investor.
Bearden was chief operating officer architect of JBoss and SpringSource and architect of SpringSource's sale to VMware and the $350m sale of open-source Java app server biz JBoss to Linux distro Red Hat in 2006 – he was also an investor both in JBoss and in SpringSource.
Bearden became Hortonwork's CEO at the insistence of the board, taking the reins from Eric Baldeschwieler, who is now chief technology officer. Baldeschwieler been Yahoo! vice president of engineering. Yahoo! spun out Hortonworks in June 2011. The new company contained most of the engineering team who had helped build and refine Hadoop, the architecture begun by Doug Cutting.
Now it certainly appears as if Bearden is trying to re-assemble his former SpringSource team, with those from JBoss and Red Hat, to flip Hortonworks in another SpringSource or JBoss-style sale – Bearden's forte. Sources tell The Reg Hortonworks made $20m in revenue last year, but $15m came from Yahoo!
Hortonworks denied Yahoo! represented a majority of the company's revenue, saying just a single-digit percentage of revenue came from Yahoo!. The spokesperson said Hortonworks has a diverse and rapidly growing revenue base in the range of $20m. ®

text: I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1976. I grew up in a city full of architectural delights that range from Spanish Colonial and Art Nouveau, a beautiful and diverse European-like city in South America. As a child I began drawing my own superheroes, living in gothic structures on my bedroom walls. I studied architecture but have always maintained a passion for drawing from my imagination and applying it to my renderings. I left Argentina in 2001 and lived in Italy and Germany. I now live in the beautiful city of Miami, where I dedicate my free time to painting. I also works as a muralist and as a decorative painter. Through the years, I have developed a style that can be best described as being surrealistic and full of symbolism.

America lost another decorated military veteran last month.
A trumpeter played �Taps� following a rifle salute at the funeral of Master Sgt. Verlon Johnson before he was interred in his final resting place at Barrancas National Cemetery in Pensacola Oct. 23.
�I thought it was very lovely,� said his wife, Maureen, a Santa Rosa Beach resident.
Johnson, 76, joined the U.S. Army at the age of 16 in 1952, and served his country in Vietnam and Korea before retiring in 1974. During his nearly 22-year career in the U.S. Special Forces as a Green Beret, he became a highly decorated combat parachutist, with two purple hearts, a bronze star, and eight other medals of valor in his career with the 101st Airborne.
When Ivan struck the Gulf Coast in 2004, the Johnsons� Santa Rosa Beach home, which sits a block up from the Bay, was totally flooded.
In the deluge, Johnson lost all of his medals, all of his military service pictures, and two books in which he was remembered as a war hero.
All that was left as a reminder of his service in the Green Berets was his circa-1970s uniform jacket.
This past July, however, thanks to the help of family friend Kay Coffeen, 10 reminders of his military service were delivered to the Johnson home, including all but a single purple heart.
�I�m glad he got to see them before he passed away,� said Maureen, whose husband had suffered for years from complications of a stroke. �They came just in time.� Johnson died Oct. 15.
Maureen did not meet her future husband until after his military career had ended, but she knew how important these were to him.
�We met in Saudi Arabia,� she said. �I may as well tell people we met on the moon.�
While Verlon Johnson was joining up, the future Mrs. Johnson, a native of Lincolnshire, England, was going to school to become a radiation therapist. After a two-decade stint working at a British hospital, she followed an advertisement to a faraway land, and landed in 1976 Saudi Arabia to be a radiation therapist.
This was two years after Johnson had retired and moved to the country to train Saudi Arabian National Guardsmen.
�We met at a pool party; he was the lifeguard,� said Maureen, who remembered his six-foot stature and muscled arms. She smiled, saying she �didn�t go out with him straightaway.�
He eventually won her over, and the couple married and purchased a lot in Santa Rosa Beach on which they would later retire in 1987.
It was there V.F.W. Verlon Johnson succumbed to a longtime sickness this past October.
Johnson is survived by Maureen, and six children, as well as a number of grandchildren.
Though his wife only knew Johnson when his military service was a memory, she understood the importance of his burial in a military cemetery.
With Arlington National Cemetery full, Johnson decided the Green Beret would be laid to rest closer to his Northwest Florida home.
The sun was shining at Johnson�s late-October military funeral at Barrancas. Vietnam vet Charles Moore gave the eulogy for his fellow-serviceman.
Two military members stood at attention at either side of the casket to act as pallbearers, and they folded up the flag to present it to the veteran�s widow.
�When they presented the flag, he knelt on the floor while they played Taps,� said Maureen. �I�ve never seen them do that before.�
The song, which has become indicative of military funerals, was trumpeted after a rifle salute to send off the decorated vet.
Later that afternoon, Johnson was laid to rest in hallowed ground among other military heroes at Barrancas National Cemetery.
His wife remarked, �It was a moving service.�

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
Sure, Carrie Underwood has dueted with all the biggies, including Brad Paisley, Tony Bennett and Steven Tyler. But she saved Jimmy Kimmel for Thursday night (May 10) on Jimmy Kimmel Live . And it was so worth the wait to hear what Underwood calls "Before He Cheats (The Sequel)." It starts with Kimmel singing, "Last night, I went out to sing Huey Lewis karaoke with a bunch of the fellas/Last night, I'd just finished drinking my virgin margarita with a paper umbrella/Last night, I fumbled in my fanny pack looking for the key as I walked back to my truck, and I'm like, 'What the f**k?'" The chorus, with a twist, is, "Some crazy girl I never met before is taking a bat to my 4×4/I grab my head and give a high-pitched shriek." Underwood explains, "My boyfriend's being a total schmuck," to which Kimmel replies, "I'm like, 'That may be, but that's not his truck.'" She goes on to knock his Hello Kitty to the floor, break his bobblehead Al Gore and rip his poster of James Van Der Beek. His advice? Next time she should think before she freaks.

Imagine being able to read spectator's fortunes without having any prior knowledge of cold reading, palm reading or Tarot. This deck does this and MORE!
You are supplied with 30 different fortune cards in Tarot size, which fit perfectly in to your pocket for walk-about. The spectator can choose any card and read their fortune. You can leave it there or continue with any number of routines supplied.
These special cards are made from the highest quality and the design is breathtaking. Built in to the design of the cards are also secret marks that allow you to do a wide variety of material. Anthony himself sometimes just takes this ONE deck with him when hired to perform for the elite in Europe and the UK.
READINGS ON THE FRONT - each of the 30 cards have different positive readings on the front. Each reading is carefully worded so there are no negative connotations. Some will make them think and leave them with questions but there is nothing 'bad'.
NUMEROLOGY - on the back of the cards between the fingers are numbers. This enables you to give quick and effective numerology readings.
MAGIC SQUARE - this is the world's easiest Magic Square. If you add up every number on every card you will find they all add up to 42. This makes a great give-a-way on the back of your business card.
MARKED DECK - The cards are marked in a subtle way so you can either use this as a stacked deck system, or if somebody chooses a card you know what the reading is without looking at it. Also provided is a crib sheet to help. You can also do this as a Tossed Out Deck for stand-up or stage performances.
ONE-WAY DECK - Because of the unique hand drawing if all the fingers point in the same direction.
TOSSED-OUT DECK - a stand up routine where people select cards and you can actually tell them which ones they have chosen.
Anthony Watson III was born in London and is one of the most sought after psychic performers in the UK and Europe. As he speaks five languages fluently, he is often hired to perform for international clients, which include the rich and famous, and spends six to eight months a year abroad.
Anthony continues to remain under the radar of most local mentalists in his home country, yet he is heavily involved in consulting for well known performers and television shows around the world.
Fortunes Hands is Anthony's first public release from the vast array of material he has honed and collected over many years and will be welcomed by both mentalists and magicians who want to add something unique to their working repertoire.

Monday - Friday
All visits are scheduled by appointment only.
Ricker Polsdorfer, MD
Treatment depends on the type and severity of your stroke. The goals of treatment are to restore blood flow, minimize damage, and prevent another stroke. Time is the most important element of treatment in decreasing the amount of brain damage of any stroke. If you suspect a stroke call for emergency medical services immediately. Emergency services can begin some treatment before reaching the hospital.
For ischemic stroke, clot-busting medication can open blood vessel and restore blood flow to the brain. The increased blood flow can decrease or prevent damage to the affected areas of the brain. The earlier the medication is delivered the better the outcomes.
These therapies are not used for hemorrhagic strokes. Treatment for hemorrhagic stroke include efforts to slow or stop the bleeding.
Once you are stabilized and evaluated, management will shift to rehabilitation. The days and weeks after your first stroke may be an entirely new world to you. It will include hard work to recover or retrain function you lost, such as speech, walking, or the use of an arm or leg. Recovery can take days, weeks, or months. Rehabilitation can last years.
To achieve these goals, you will have a health care team that is made up of doctors, nurses, physical and occupational therapists, and other health professionals. It is important to maintain contact with your medical team, adhere to recommended treatment and rehabilitation, and go to any recommended appointments.

Press Releases
Washington, D.C. – House Small Business Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Tax and Capital Access, under the chairmanship of Rep. Tom Rice (R-SC), today held a hearing to examine how our country competes against the rest of the world in regards to private sector business viability, health and growth potential.
Historically, America has capitalized on globalization generating substantial economic growth; however, over time the American economy has faced detrimental hardships, including outsourcing to other countries, as businesses attempted to reduce some or all of their cost of production. Fast-growing company, Chobani, Harvard Business School Professor Michael Porter, and South Carolina's Manufacturing veteran, Alice Manufacturing Company, were among the witnesses who testified today about America's economic competitive strategy and recommendations for how the United States could restore its competitive dominance.
"In an increasingly global economy, America's competitiveness is critical to our economic growth and standing around the World," said Chairman Rice. "To restore America's place within the global economy we must ensure that federal policies promote business' ability to be competitive. Onerous federal regulations, an overarching government, and a complex tax code threatens the entrepreneurial and innovative work of companies in the United States. This hearing provided a solid blueprint for solutions that can promote growth, particularly for America's small businesses, and restore our country's competitive edge."
Notable Quotes:
Professor Michael Porter, Harvard Business School in Boston, MA said, "A country such as the United States is competitive if the companies operating there can compete successfully in the global economy while simultaneously raising living standards for the average American. To be competitive over time, the United States requires a business environment that enables businesses and citizens to be highly productive over the long run."
James McConeghy, Chief Financial Officer, Chobani, Norwich, NY said, "In less than six years, we've grown our business from nothing to over $1 billion in sales, and expanded our reach across the globe. We've invested more than $700 million between our original manufacturing facility in New York and our new plant in Twin Falls, Idaho. We're no longer a start-up with 5 employees, but a global organization with a workforce more than 2,600 strong. It is the American Dream come to life - proving that, if you truly believe in something and work hard, anything is possible."
"The future of Chobani's success is strongly burdened by current federal regulatory and legal challenges. The four most prominent challenges that I will touch on today are the lack of an FDA standard of identity for Greek Yogurt, Geographic Indicators in international trade, Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade negotiations and their potential impact on trade in dairy products with Canada, and tax reform."
Smyth McKissick, Chief Executive Officer, Alice Manufacturing Co, Inc. Easley, SC said, "…enacting fair trade and investment policies that promote the competitiveness of U.S. manufacturers, as well as the competitiveness of the nations we trade with is critically important. Government to government, economy to economy, and industry to industry, the two-way exchange of goods must be fair and create mutual benefits."

LastPass is in part able to achieve the highest level of security for our users by looking to our community to challenge our technology.
In August 2013, a security researcher at UC Berkeley, Zhiwei Li, contacted us to responsibly disclose novel vulnerabilities with the LastPass bookmarklets (actively used by less than 1% of the user base) and One Time Passwords (OTPs). Zhiwei discovered one issue that could be exploited if a LastPass user utilized the bookmarklet on an attacking site, and another issue if the LastPass user went to an attacking site while logged into LastPass, and used their username to potentially create a bogus OTP.
Zhiwei only tested these exploits on dummy accounts at LastPass and we don't have any evidence they were exploited by anyone beyond himself and his research team. The reported issues were addressed immediately, as confirmed by their team, and we let them publish their research before discussing it.
If you are concerned that you've used bookmarklets before September 2013 on non-trustworthy sites, you may consider changing your master password and generating new passwords, though we don't think it is necessary.
Regarding the OTP attack, it is a "targeted attack", requiring an attacker to know the user's username to potentially exploit it, and serve that custom attack per user, activity which we have not seen. Even if this was exploited, the attacker would still not have the key to decrypt user data. If you'd like to check your current OTPs you can do so here: https://lastpass.com/otp.php
We appreciate that, as the most popular password manager in the world, we have an active, dedicated community that challenges us to be better and is committed to helping us improve the security of our service. Again, we thank Zhiwei and his team for their important research.

Christmas in Kuwait
With the blessing of Metropolitan Constantine of Kuwait, Baghdad and all Persian Gulf of the Antiochian Patriarchate; hieromonk Jefrem served on Christmas the Holy Liturgy in Kuwait. The Liturgy was served mostly in Church-Slavonic, with chanting of faithful people and reading of the Christmas Enclytical of Serbian Patriarch Irinej, which woke particular emotions in Serbs there.
On this occasion about sixty of them gathered - Serbs, Russian and Ukranians, and majority of them were kids, who received gifts after the Liturgy, the Holy Communion and cutting the cake. Then Sanja Vidakovic, Charge d'Affaires of the Embassy of Serbia in Kuwait, thanked Metropolitan and father Jefrem for the generous cooperation and openness to our people.

Re: clashing keybindings in 2.0
I've got ReSharper and ViEmu 2.0 installed. Apparently the key bindings are clashing.
I can't read the text in the text boxes because the text extends beyond the right edge of the box but there is no scrolling ability. Due to this, I can't tell what is really clashing, and therefore can't decide what to do about it.
Is anyone else having clashes with ReSharper?

Welcome to Pippa Latex! We're a Canadian company specializing in hand-made latex garments for women. Our inspiration comes from everywhere and everything: zombies, teapots, ancient rituals, the Black Plague, my mom, lollipops, uniforms, that guy I saw on the bus the other day, eighteenth century French court attire, tennis, Japan, India, Mexico, Senegal, Scotland.....you get the picture. We think latex should be an expression of unique taste, and we love to design adorable, sexy, fantastic things for you.
We accept major credit cards, Paypal, and Direct Checkout. Sorry, no personal cheques or money orders.
We're a Canadian company and we offer FREE shipping within Canada and the US if you purchase two or more items. We also love our international friends! Pippa Latex ships to Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, the EU, Australia and Japan. We use Canada Post Xpresspost. Some countries may require the buyer to pay duty on items from Canada. The buyer is responsible for any duty or customs fees. Your item should arrive in under seven business days (after item has been marked as "shipped") unless you live in Australia, in which case it takes a bit longer (10 business days) or Canada, where you should receive your order in three business days. If you have any questions about shipping, please contact us.
We hope you'll love your new latex garment, but if you don't for some reason, we offer an exchange or store credit. Please return your garment within one week of receiving it, and let us know if you'd like to do an exchange or if you'd like a store credit for the amount spent (shipping not included). Garment must be unworn and undamaged. All underwear, bodysuits and swimwear bottoms are final sale for hygenic reasons. If you're unsure what size to order, message us!
All our garments are handmade in Canada. We also accept custom cosplay orders! Just let us know what you want.
Sheet latex is made from the sap of the rubber tree, Hevea brasiliensis, which is native to Brazil but mostly cultivated in southeast Asia today. The sap is harvested and turned into latex rubber, which has many practical applications worldwide. Latex is not the same as leather, which is an animal skin. Nor is it the same as PVC, which is a synthetic material.
Latex is a natural substance and, like all clothing, can wear out with time. However, with a little loving care, your latex garment will give you years of wear. It should be stored hung up out of direct sunlight, for example in a closet. Never get any oil-based product near latex. This includes Vaseline, hair oil, body oil, and oil-based lube. Always use a water-based or silicone-based lube on the inside of the garment before you put it on. These can also be used to polish the outside of the garment for that shiny, "wet" look. Special latex polishes are also available. Never dry clean or machine wash your latex. Hand wash it with mild soap and water only. Hang to dry.
A latex garment should fit you like a second skin. Getting into such a tight piece of clothing can be tricky, but if you know a few tips, its easy! Make sure your body is clean and dry and free of oil. Remove jewelry if possible to reduce the chance of ripping your garment. Apply either cornstarch OR water-or silicone-based lube to the inside of your garment to ease friction. Try to use the flat of your palm fingers to ease the garment onto your body. Avoid using your fingernails. To get undressed, simply roll the garment off your body carefully. Wash if desired (see above), powder the inside with cornstarch to prevent it sticking to itself, and hang it up until next time!
No! Latex is for whoever wants to wear it. Many people in the fetish scene enjoy latex, but it has recently gained a more mainstream following and has been seen on runways, celebrities, and in fashion magazines.
We offer 7 sizes, from XXS to XXL. Please message us for a copy of the sizing chart. You can also request a How to Measure chart if you are unsure how to take your own measurements. If you have special fit requirements or your size isn't included in our size chart, let us know and we can make something custom-sized just for you. Custom-sized pieces are final sale. All other pieces can be returned for exchange or credit note, except for panties, bodysuits, and swimwear. Please see our Return and Exchange policy for full details.
We are proud to produce quality handmade garments made to order on a piece-by-piece basis. Everything is made here in Toronto, Canada. Nothing is outsourced or made overseas. Our manufacturing facility complies with ethical labour standards.
Have something specific in mind for cosplay that you don't see on our site? No problem! We would be happy to accommodate you. Here's how it works: message us and tell us what you want, and we'll get back to you with a drawing and a price quote. We'll start work on the project once you have approved the design and sent payment. Please note: custom orders may take longer for us to make, so please make sure you order well in advance. All custom orders are final sale. Please be aware, Pippa Latex will not produce knock-offs of other designers' work.

"She is Come Before Hand' by Elspeth Young (used with permission)
On Sunday I taught a lesson on Women in the Scriptures at our church. My goal with the lesson was to help the women learn how to recognize and relate to the women that are mentioned in the scriptures. Often times all we get is a name or a brief mention of a wife or daughter and nothing else about her, but by stopping and taking time to think and reflect often times I've found that I can learn much about a what she must have experienced, what her life might have been like, and what type of woman she was. I've also found that I've been able to relate or "liken" the scriptures to my own life as a woman better when I remember that almost EVERY story has a woman in it somewhere-- whether we hear about her or not. For my lesson on Sunday I made a list of the questions that I ask myself every time I come across a new woman in the scriptures and I thought they might be helpful for others in their own personal scripture study.
1- What is unique about this woman and her story?
2- How does she fit into the time period in which she lived?
3- What Christlike qualities does she exemplify?
4- What would I ask her if I could meet her?
5- How can I relate to her?
6- What can I (or someone else I know) learn from her experiences?
Each woman's story will mean something different to everyone and there is such power in being able to find your own answers and discoveries in the scriptures. I hope that these can help you, and other people you know, pay more attention to the women in the scriptures and not pass over a remarkable woman just because she is only mentioned as the a daughter, a widow, a wife or a child. Happy Scripture Studying!

Are RESTful Web Services Like Functional Programming?
This comment by bew caught my attention on a recent post of mine.
It's a bit funny that someone interested in Haskell is that negative about REST. With REST, GET and PUT are like pure functions. You will always get the same result, irrespective of how often you call them with the same parameters.
It's interesting to me, not so much as a statement about REST, but as a statement about ways of understanding functional programming. Ultimately, it boils down to why functional programming languages are a good idea in the first place. So here's a quiz.
Question: Why are functional programming languages a good idea? (Select all that apply.)
- Because one can safely do the same thing over and over again.
- Mutation belongs in comic books, and has no place in programming.
- They provide powerful tools for building abstractions.
- They provide powerful tools for analysis of programs.
My answers: 3 and 4 only. I really don't fundamentally care about answers 1 and 2. The definition of referential transparency and the lack of mutation are by all means obvious and visible aspects of functional programming, but the importance of functional programming is not tied to any desirability, in and of itself, of idempotence or lack of mutation. Functional programming is worth anyone's attention only because it occupies a nice space in which powerful abstraction and powerful analysis, two goals that are often in strong tension, are both near at hand at the same time. That, rather than anything else, is why they are important and successful.
As bew says, some REST methods are idempotent, and mutation is clearly marked. Unfortunately, the more interesting bits are missing. Indeed, there is active resistance in the "REST is cool" groups toward building any further abstractions at all on top of REST, and I see only limited support for an argument that transforming, manipulating, or analyzing REST services is particularly powerful either. REST isn't alone in sharing some characteristics with functional languages (to the extent that it does, which is a stretch) but missing the benefit. It's not even the best example. XSLT is way more purely functional in nature, and at least as fundamentally uninteresting to boot, as RESTful web services.
So my answer to the subject line: Are RESTful web services like functional programming? No, at least in any interesting way.
Does any of this mean I'm beelining toward SOAP? No; after all, no one could say with a straight face that SOAP provides powerful tools for abstraction or analysis either. RESTful web services may be a good idea for purely pragmatic reasons — poor quality of implementation of SOAP, ambiguous specifications, etc. That isn't the popular claim though. The popular claim is that REST is some kind of ideal; a set of principles that should be applied to any communication delivered over HTTP. I still say hogwash.

Statelessness directly contributes towards software with fewer defects. It makes concurrency a helluva lot easier, too.
Emulating purely functional style in languages that aren't purely functional to the greatest degree that is reasonable and practical is helpful, like in OCaml or Scala, where mutability is allowed but is the exception rather than the default.
Bill Mill / Jun 21 2007 9:07 pm
Well said, sir.

"So my answer to the subject line: Are RESTful web services like functional programming? No, at least in any interesting way."
I'm going to have to respectfully disagree; please see the Waterken Web Calculus.
Joshua E Cook / Jun 22 2007 9:12 am
Paul, I came to mention Waterken, too. I've been following the development of the Waterken server for a few years now. I've found the concepts it espouses are really enlightening and novel. I've long held that MVC (Model-View-Controller) isn't an appropriate methodology for web services; instead I think that a document-oriented paradigm is more suited.
Waterken takes this approach: objects are exposed to web clients by converting them to Hypertext documents, encoding their references to other objects as URIs. Every object in the system may have an addressable URI on which GET or POST methods can be invoked. Functions are treated as first-class, so they can get URIs, too. In this scheme, GET is equivalent to dereferencing, and POST is equivalent to a function call.
