Learning Twisted is an investment. The standard library protocols are often less complete or correct and almost all of them are built to work synchronously, which means they don't scale all that well and are harder to use in combination. There's also MANY protocols in Twisted that aren't in the standard library, like SSH.
It really depends on your priorities. If you aren't interested in the performance or the learning experience, and the stdlib covers what you need, you might as well stick with it. The standard library is definitely the easier route, at least until you get the hang of Twisted.
(btw: this comment spam filter is dumb, it won't take my email address because it starts with my name!)Posted by Bob Ippolito at February 5, 2006 06:53 AM
The standard library protocol implementations are also almost all client-side, except for a web "server" which barely even works, let alone scales. Even so, the stdlib does not contain even simple clients like an IRC client, let alone more complex things like SSH, OSCAR, MSNP, or Jabber.
You may be on to something though. Looking at the Twisted website, the documentation just assumes that the reader has an application that they know the stdlib is not adequate for. It doesn't contain much in the way of advocacy or description of what makes Twisted special, or what Twisted makes possible. The "Why Twisted" page seems to be arguing for Twisted in favor of a C++ server rather than one written from scratch in Python. Perhaps we need to update it.Posted by Glyph Lefkowitz at February 5, 2006 07:40 AM
Bob, there are way too many frameworks existing now. I am not against frameworks, it is just that before buying into its programming model, it would be nice to know the benefits that I will be getting. In getting Twisted, you have to wrap your mind around how it works... and that takes time. (pun not intended). By the way, I apologize for the spam filter.
Glyph, setting up a socket server just takes a couple of lines with 'socket'. I guess if you want to do servers for the other protocols, Twisted would be a nice savior. I figure most people coming to Twisted would be coming with a Python perspective already. If you ask a C++ only programmer to approach using Twisted, chances are good that they would say f***ou**. There is something about human behaviour that automatically fears the unknown and immediately denounce it.
"there are way too many frameworks existing now"
By what metric? Who is it bad for that there are so many frameworks? The free availability of so many frameworks is fantastic. Unfortunately it may necessitate a role in society that has not previously existed, the "framework reviewer", since it is so much work to decide which is the right one to use. There have long been publications dedicated to figuring out what car to buy, or what computer to use, why not what framework to program for? (IOW: Guido is absolutely right that we need some kind of shootout for web frameworks. It's not the frameworks that are the problem, it's the confusion.)
"setting up a socket server just takes a couple of lines with 'socket'"
To set up a socket server that is unportable and buggy, sure. But even that assumes a familiarity with the POSIX "framework", which is certainly great, but pretty low-level. Even basic requirements then become a burden. Your socket server doesn't handle SSL. How do you integrate it? Etc, etc.
"If you ask a C++ only programmer to approach using Twisted, chances are good that they would say f***ou**"
I have had pretty good success convincing C++ programmers to use Twisted. I've found that the best way is to avoid mentioning that it's in Python until the last possible moment - describe everything it does in painfully technical detail (the trick of listing errno values, as I did recently on a comment on my blog, is a good trick to use). When you finish the description of how the buffering algorithm avoids unnecessary copies, they'll be sagely nodding, and then the one-two punch, "and of course it is in Python, which makes it very robust".
"There is something about human behaviour that automatically fears the unknown and immediately denounce it."
Like you are afraid of Twisted? ;-)Posted by Glyph Lefkowitz at February 5, 2006 11:45 AM
You are correct to belive that Twisted is a massive learning investment. I have been using it for more than a year now (on some quite serious large scale projects) and still only feel like I am begining to get to grips with it.
Is it worth it? Yes, yes and yes again. It is very powerful - there is support for a lot of protocols and it is trivial to implement your own. It gives you the tools to scale your application and much more besides. I am constantly discovering new parts of twisted that do 'just what I needed'. Don't lump it in with all the other 'frameworks' either - there is nothing else quite like it.
It is not however for the faint hearted. The documentation only touches lightly on the (massive) available functionaltiy. The source code is going to become very familiar to you. And buy Abe Fettigs book. Now. You will need it.Posted by markw at February 6, 2006 04:53 AM
Touche Glyph.... my comment are that C++ programmers have an aversion to Python, not Twisted necessarily. Getting large corporations to buy into Python is a tough hill to climb in the first place.
Thank you for making me aware that the basic python libraries regarding networking protocol are wobbly. That would certainly make it reason enough for Twisted's existence. I do have a Python background so jumping into Twisted isn't a problem. As you may have noticed, it is in answering the question of "Why Twisted?" from a new-comer point of view that is the basis of this discussion. Like Markw mentioned, before investing lots of time into learning Twisted, it would be nice to know what it would buy me. I'm pretty sold on it just from this little educational discussion that we are having.... but you can see that any serious new comer would also pose the same question in the future.Posted by Hoang at February 6, 2006 09:02 AM
Ditto. For example, should I learn Django, Turbo Gears, or Twisted? I need to build a dynamic, dabase driven, low traffic website. Would you recommend Twisted over the others I mentioned, why?Posted by Roger at February 6, 2006 03:22 PM
First, I'm using the three right now in several projects (big and small).
If you want to do just a website, I'll go with django. I choose it over turbogears cause IMHO turbogears is just not there yet (catwalk will make things better).
The way I see it Twisted is more oriented to networked applications, not websites (even though nevow is nice).

When banks evaluate an application for an investment property, the loan is given an extra dose of due diligence. Banks realize that if a consumer suddenly experiences some financial difficulties and is having trouble making the mortgage payments, it's the rental properties that will be allowed to go into foreclosure before their primary residence.
That's why interest rates and down payment requirements are more stringent for rental properties. And that's also why some borrowers are tempted to check the box "primary residence" instead of an investment property. Not a wise move.
Before the housing debacle that began officially in 2007 it was relatively easy to check the "wrong" box and tell the lender the loan was for a primary home. Yet the housing debacle didn't start in 2007, it really started several years later when lenders and borrowers alike seemed to approve anything and everything thrown at them regardless of occupancy; the simple mission was to approve the loan then move to the next one in the pile. Lenders today however will in fact go the extra mile making sure the loan is in fact a primary one and not a rental.
The first thing a lender will do is see if there is a current mortgage on an existing property. If so, is the new property bigger or smaller than the one with the lien? Borrowers who are moving up make sense but those that are buying a smaller home not so much. Unless the borrowers are retired and downsizing. If the loan application passes the first smell test, the next one occurs after the loan is closed and funded.
Lenders today hire individuals to literally travel to the recently financed property and find out who lives there. If someone else other than the borrowers answers the door, there will be some serious explaining to do and if the lender does in fact discover they've been snookered with a fraudulent loan application, not only will they start foreclosure proceedings but the borrowers can be indicted for loan fraud. Checking the wrong "box" is simply not worth it.

Month: June 2010
To Come
Stuff wot I need to do.
Secretive squirrel.
1. – A post of the stuff I have on my wall atm.
2. – A Post of some of the digital stuff I've been paying with.
3. – More random artings, I have a bunch of stuff with carbon paper and monotype that I'm getting into atm.
4. – Video stuff – assuming that I manage to get this software to play nice at some stage.
5. – Digi infrared update.
Technical Squirrel.
1. – Stuff about Video and sound platforms that I'm currently attempt to force into work.
2. – Camera profiles – these will be written for my website – I have far more cameras than any normal person would need (and less than I want).
3. – Digital Infrared explanations.
The other blogs will be getting other stuff updated and stuff.
Contact Sheets and editing
Step three – Digital; I change the folder properties so that the icons for the images are larger, thus I can consider the images at a slightly larger scale – i use preview to look closer at marginal images. I then select the images that I want to see as prints and copy them to a new filder before returning the folder back to a normal status and filing the folder – from this point on I work with the new folder with the original folder backed up externally.
Step Four – Film; I then print all of the selected prints as 4×5 prints on black and white proof paper (RC silver paper), and then tape them together as concertina books – I don't make a point of inspecting them at this stage.
Step Four – Digital; I then Go through the folders of selected files and photoshop them so that they make cohesive sets and are ready for printing (this is my least favorite part of working with digital images). I then print all of the selected prints using a digital printing service – usually for around 12 cents a print – I don't make a point of inspecting them at this stage. I don't make concertina books of these.
Step Five – Film; When I have several of these books I lay them out and go through them deciding what to label them as – the labels (apart from rejects are for each of the projects or subjects I'm currently keeping a file for – some images make it to more than one file)
Step Five – Digital; a good stack of these I lay them out and go through them deciding how to group them – the groups (apart from rejects) are for each of the projects or subjects I'm currently keeping a file for – some images make it to more than one file. I move them around in the folders for sorting and delete the rejects (this is why I work with copies).
Step Six – Film; I then break the books up and recreate them as selected subject books – I haven't gotten to this stage yet in my current project
Step Six – Digital; These are now ready for final selection and being ready for printing.
Step Seven – Film; I then Go into the darkroom and go through the process of making exhibition prints – I tend to make one print as an AP (artist proof) so that I can see how to print the final image and then two final prints of which one will be presented.
It's not so terribly exciting to see something like this laid out as a step by step process, in practice I find that neither digital nor film is cheaper to work with, and due to experience and a degree of procrastination I'm slightly quicker and more efficient getting silver exhibition prints done than digital exhibition prints.
Napier – Historical Photo.
I found this photo recently, it's of the memorial baths on Marine Parade in Napier, You couldn't get a photograph from the same location now as the trees have grown much much higher and the view is blocked, but it's put me in a mind to take some photos when I go up there in the next couple of weeks, I'll grab some copies of historical shots and see how much has changed – it's not an original idea, but it'll keep me occupied when I'm up there.
I have been playing with the idea of unmapping for some time (I started collecting maps about a year ago), but I've found that my original concepts aren't really workable. I had envisioned using gouache to paint over the map thus painting out all traces of people – but at a certain conceptual level that's really not all that compelling, the process is more interesting than the final result for one, and for a second problem it's hard to get past the fact that the full map is still under the paint, thus I'm not eliminating anything, but rather obfuscating.
This is one of the maps that I was fiddling digitally – after deciding that paint was not the correct answer – digital is better, but still not all the way there, that and I'm not a fan of computers for painting (that's actually a big factor), but ultimately I'm still working with maps and all of the overlaid data. I also tried tracing to mylar and using cell painting techniques, which has greater possibilities, especially with different types of maps.
Ultimately with the paper maps I'm beginning to think that the only logical answer is to burn them and use their ashes for a work – this has the advantages that I can video it, and that I get to burn something, which is always a plus in terms of making something more interesting.
Werewolf – Om nom nom.
I have been using whiteboards (actually aluminium print plates) a great deal in my practice for the last year or so to work things out and to keep a tract of tasks, library books, notes, hand in dates, and suchlike – I haven't been making a point of photographing these notes unless there's something I wish to replicate, and thus I don't have much in the way of records of them – I need to make a point of photographing them before I blank them.
I find that having this scratch board makes it a great deal easier to keep a track of things and to work out complex issues – this is one part that I did photograph as it was the point where I managed to tie the parts of my practice together into a structure that makes sense to me.
I'm also noticing retrospectively that this is also the point where my basic question changed from "finding a place for myself in the world" to "Placing myself in the world" I hadn't noticed that before right now, and it seems kinda important.

Me and My Xiaomi Mi4 Every Day All the Way
The first thing you will see in bed with me is my red Holy Bible. And the second thing is my daily partner in progress, Xiaomi Mi4.
She is my sweetheart.
She is sleeps and wakes up with me 24/7.
She comes with me every time I am going out and comes back with me.
She is very precious to me and is my business companion.
My Mi4 is my primary working tool every day and does more than my laptop.
I use it for more than 90% of my calls and text messages; blogging; writing, shopping; trading; virtual traveling; philanthropy, democratic advocacy and romantic adventures from the street to the internet.
I have taken more than 100 pictures with it and produced more than 50 videos and used it for the recce and still photography of my much talked about "Lagos in Motion: Sights and Sounds of Africa's Largest Megacity" tourist documentary film to be released worldwide this summer with the photo book of the selected photographs from more than 35 different locations of " Lagos in Motion ".
My Xiaomi Mi4 cost only N55, 000 (about USD200), but has helped me to produce blogs, photos and videos making me many times richer.
I give Almighty God JEHOVAH all the Glory for giving me this awesome smartphone to prosper me and make me famous worldwide.

Whoops. He's suddenly flown the coop, headed to an elementary school in Arlington, Va. to read to about 90 second graders, many the children of military families.
And guess what he's reading. None other than his own writings, the latest bestseller, "Of Thee I Sing," a kids book in the form of a letter to his daughters telling them – and any kids who read the book – how wonderful they are.
The idea is to highlight a list of "great" Americans who each exemplify certain laudable characteristics. The chapter, "Have I Told You that You are Creative?" talks about Georgia O'Keefe, and so forth.
Obama continues to make little effort to keep his daughters away from his political brand, which inevitably imbues everything he does. I think it's a mistake.
The profits of this one go to charity.
The book is not the least bit politically correct, as Obama includes Al Capone, Newt Gingrich, Robert E. Lee and Pete Rose among those profiled.
Yahh, you gotta be kidding me. Here's the list:
Georgia O'Keefe, Jackie Robinson, Abraham Lincoln, George Washington, Cesar Chavez (of course), Sitting Bull, Billie Holiday, Albert Einstein, Helen Keller, Maya Lin (she designed the Vietnam Memorial, remember? No?), Martin Luther King Jr., and Neil Armstrong.

Just few weeks ago our contributor Kalkidan wrote an article on how technology is shaping the way live and how humanity and technology will look like in 2050.
Today we heard a news from Las Vegas that will definately shock you and that is a guy named Aaron Chervenak married the love of his life but the love of his life is his smart phone.
Sometimes, you meet the love of your life in unexpected places.
For Aaron Chervenak, his true love has always been right in front of him — right in the palm of his hand, actually.
He married his own smartphone. And he drove all the way from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to do so.
"At first it was like what?" The Little Las Vegas Chapel owner Michael Kelly told KTNV. "And then I was like… Alright let's do it.
Marriages in the city have been silly in the past — they marry pets to each other and they throw weed-themed nuptials.
Don't cry as you watch this wedding video. I don't think he has a waterproof iPhone bride. -WB http://fb.me/7gzQwn3rC
Quite the unique ring tone: Man marries cell phone in Las Vegas
LAS VEGAS — With that said, by the power given to me here in the state of Nevada, it is now my honor and my privilege to pronounce you husband and smart phone.If there's anywhere in the world you…
But this one is something no one has seen before.
Kelly said Chervenak's message was simple — he wanted society to hear what he had to say.
"People are so connected to their phones and they live with them all the time," Kelly told KTNV. "They go to sleep with their cell phone. They wake up with their cell phone, sometimes it's the first thing they check."
Kelly said Chervenak wanted to explore something often thought about in pop culture — can technology become human?
In sickness and in health, Chervenak will find out.

"Whether you are in a startup or Fortune 500 company; are a developer, development manager, or CEO; use agile, lean, waterfall, or other methodology–if software and quality are important to you, you should read and pay attention to Watts's reflections."
–Bill Ihrie, Former SVP & CTO, Intuit
"You will enjoy this collection for its down to earth, accessible prose, its pragmatism, optimism, and, above all, Watts's demonstration that software quality improvement is vitally important and very achievable."
–Aidan Waine, Information Solutions General Manager, Microsoft Entertainment & Devices Division
"Watts has developed a real weapon for beating your competition: a reliable, repeatable way to create software that has excellent quality and reduces the time to deliver it to your customer and lowers the cost of the entire software life cycle and improves employee morale. All at the same time!"
–Michael J. Cullen, Vice President, Quality, Oracle Communications Global Business Unit
A Lifetime of Invaluable Management Insights from Legendary Software Quality Guru Watts S. Humphrey
In 1986, Watts S. Humphrey made an outrageous commitment: a promise to transform software development. As the pioneering innovator behind SEI's Capability Maturity Model (CMM), Personal Software Process (PSP), and Team Software Process (TSP), Humphrey has more than met that promise. But his contributions go beyond methodology: For decades, his deeply personal writings on project management have been admired by software engineers worldwide.
Reflections on Management brings together Humphrey's best and most influential essays and articles sharing insights that will be indispensable for anyone who must achieve superior results in software or any other endeavor.
Collected here for the first time, these works offer compelling insights into everything from planning day-to-day work to improving quality, encouraging teamwork to becoming a truly great leader.
All of these writings share a powerful vision, grounded by a life in software that has extended across nearly six decades. The vision is this: To succeed, professionals must effectively manage far more than plans, schedules, and code they must manage teams, bosses, and above all, themselves.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Watts S. Humphrey is a Senior Fellow at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), where he introduced concepts that evolved into CMMI, and where he led development of both personal and team software processes (PSP and TSP). Previously, he was a manager and executive at IBM for twenty-seven years. He is the author of twelve highly influential books on software management and process improvement.
William R. Thomas manages the SEI's Technical Communications team.Review:
"Watts Humphrey is best known for software engineering approaches that formalize and systematize software development. But I personally have found Watts to be most inspiring when he is discussing the interpersonal, human side of the software equation. The selections in this book emphasize Watts's deep experience and deep insights into human dynamics and offer a valuable counterpoint to more programmatic writings for which he is better known."
Steve McConnell
Author of Code Complete and Software Estimation
"Watts Humphrey is doing for the software industry what W. Edwards Deming did with TQM for the automobile industry. For the software executive reading this book, it is my belief that Watts has developed a real weapon for beating your competition: a reliable, repeatable way to create software that has excellent quality and reduces the time to deliver it to your customer and lowers the cost of the entire software life cycle and improves employee morale. All at the same time! For the software engineer or developer reading this book, it is my belief that you are on your way to making your job more productive, satisfying, and fun."
Michael J. Cullen
Vice President, Quality, Oracle Communications Global Business Unit
"Software development is a daily collision between code, the most black-and-white of technologies, and organizations, the most idiosyncratic of human experiences. Here is the guidebook–the GPS–to success in navigating the fault line between science and art, between code and human experience. Sharing his knowledge with his characteristic style of analytics and anecdotes, Watts Humphrey imparts timeless wisdom on teams, teamwork, and creating complex software successfully and reliably."
Scott D. Cook
Founder & Chairman of the Executive Committee, Intuit Inc.
"Fledgling project managers often ask me if there is one book they should read; it was often difficult for me to resist the temptation to recommend Machiavelli's The Prince. But now I have a better, and far more positive, recommendation: Watts Humphrey's Reflections on Management–a collection of management gems, organized into eight broad themes, that reflect his deep insights and leadership in the field."
Ed Yourdon
Consultant and Author
"I've followed Watts Humphrey's work for as long as I can remember. I recall, in my youth, thinking that he was asking too much. Now that I'm suddenly about his age, I realize how many things he has gotten right. This collection from his most important writings should bring these ideas to the attention of a new audience: I urge them to listen better than I did."
Ron Jeffries
"You will enjoy this collection for its down-to-earth, accessible prose, its pragmatism, its optimism and, above all, Watts's demonstration that software quality improvement is vitally important and very achievable. Your software team can realize its full potential by applying Watts's methods. Ours
did, and yours can, too."
Aidan Waine
Information Solutions General Manager, Microsoft Entertainment & Devices Division
"Software development is a team sport. Watts understands this, and better yet, he knows how to express his understanding so that others can learn from his insight. A good coach knows how to make players and other coaches more successful. Watts is one of the software profession's great coaches."
Walker Royce
Vice President, Chief Software Economist, IBM
"Watts Humphrey brings legendary experience and insight to developing great software. Whether you are in a startup or Fortune 500 company; are a developer, development manager, or CEO; use agile, lean, waterfall, or other methodology–if software and quality are important to you, you should read and pay attention to Watts's reflections."
Bill Ihrie
Software Leader/Mentor/Entrepreneur; Former SVP & CTO, Intuit
"The software engineering world owes a great debt to Watts Humphrey. His pioneering work in transforming software development practices from random and chaotic to disciplined and effective has saved billions of dollars that might otherwise have been wasted on failed projects. Bill Thomas has assembled kernels of writing by Watts drawn from his previous books and publications. The original books are all excellent, but this summation is valuable in its own right. It provides a very useful overview of Watts's thinking and the practices he has developed."
Capers Jones
Chairman and Founder, Software Productivity Research
"Watts Humphrey's contributions to professional software project management are numerous and range from CMM to Personal Software Process (PSP) and Team Software Process (TSP) practices. This book summarizes all his experiences and represents a unique body of knowledge in the area of project management. It should be the premier choice of reference for all project managers."
Prof. Dr. Dr. h.c. Dieter Rombach
Executive Director, Fraunhofer IESE, Kaiserslautern, Germany
"Watts Humphrey has been the intellectual leader and driving force behind the movement to apply process improvement to software for the last quarter century. He has a deep understanding of management based on years of personal experience, both as an executive and as an advisor to managers and executives of major corporations developing software systems. His keen insight, acquired from helping the international software community apply disciplined management processes, has been captured in his previous books and articles from which this work is derived. His advice is not limited to managers of software systems and certainly will be valuable to managers at all levels."
Larry E. Druffel, Ph.D.
Director Emeritus and Visiting Scientist, Software Engineering Institute
"Watts Humphrey shares his deep and personal understanding of what goes on in the hearts and minds of software professionals–from engineers to top managers. Watts translates this understanding into software development and management practices for producing the high-quality software products these professions innately want to produce, incorporating personal- and team-level growth, learning, and improvement. This book is certainly a collection of the best-of-the-best guidance Watts has imparted to the industry in this regard. This collection is sure to be a classic."
Laurie Williams
Associate Professor, North Carolina State University
"Reflections on Management is a prescription for leading people in largescale knowledge work. The management themes of commitment, planning,measuring, learning, leading, and teamwork are skillfully echoed throughoutthe book as mutually reinforcing tiles in a mosaic serving to lock inthe vision from every dimension. The book manages to accomplish this ina succinct and easily readable format."
Don O'Neill
Former President 2005-2008, Center for National Software Studies
"Watts Humphrey, who has written so much that has changed how software is managed and developed, has written another book. And once again he has written an easy-to-read, well-informed, and practical-to-use book that should help almost anyone who has worked on a software project. To say I highly recommend it is probably not saying enough. Buy it. Read it. Use it."
Ron Radice
Principal Partner, Software Technology Transition
"Watts Humphrey has made a major contribution to the understanding of software quality and how to control and improve it. Since software is the major player in contemporary computer systems, software engineers and managers will benefit significantly by following his guidelines. I particularly liked his advice that quality is a never-ending journey and his emphasis on continuous improvement of both product and process. This is important because software may last for decades. Organizations seldom discard software. They enhance and reuse it in perpetuity. Thus, software quality must be a lifecycle journey."
Norman Schneidewind
Professor Emeritus of Information Sciences, Naval Postgraduate School
"Watts Humphrey's Reflections on Management is a treasure trove of insights and advice from one of the leading lights in software project management. It is a must read. We are fortunate that Watts took the time to write and share his thoughts and experiences; even the chapter titles provide good advice and insights."

"Watts Humphrey's ideas, encapsulated in this book, aren't just another set of software engineering techniques and methods. Rather, they represent a way of life that encourages us to work more effectively, alone and with others; to develop our talent; and even to become better people through self-knowledge, commitment, and consideration of quality as a top priority."
Juliana Herbert
Senior Consultant, Herbert Consulting, Brazil
"Watts Humphrey's latest book has a very fortunate title; it is a genuine invitation into a transformation of how we manage our projects, our teams, and ourselves. Watts manages to draw from his rich and extensive professional experience in software development and shed light upon the road to quality. In itself, quality in software is his life quest, and Watts rightly suggests methods to accomplish this goal."
Fernando J. Jaimes
Fellow, Monterrey Institute of Technology, Mexico
"This is a wonderful book. Fans of Watts Humphrey will find new and personal examples that put the previous books in another perspective. Those who know his work but have not applied it yet may be convinced to do so now. Reflections on Management may be a pleasant introduction for those (if any) who do not know Watts Humphrey or his work."
Michiel van Genuchten
Manager of Digital Dentistry, Institut Straumann AG, Switzerland
"At the core, Humphrey appeals to management to create the vision of better products, greater professional fulfillment, and the joy of delivering something that is used and useful. For those of us needing a daily dose of encouragement, this book is the abundant and articulate source of it."
Stan Rifkin
Master Systems, Inc.
"Reflections on Management is a superbly organized book, with simple, concise chapters. It describes a comprehensive, totally disciplined approach, covering all aspects of software development, from the personal concern of the individual engineer to teams of engineers building large, significant systems. The book deserves to be on the desk of every software development manager and student."
Lawrence H. Putnam
President, Quantitative Software Management, Inc.
"How to manage technical people? How to control a software project? How to introduce and sustain disciplined software engineering practices? How to mature your organization? How to build a high performing team? How to develop excellent software? Until now you had to read five to ten books to learn all the lessons taught by the Father of Software Process. And then, of course, you had to integrate it all in your head. With this book, Watts's lifetime of lessons and advice all coalesce into one book. If you truly want to understand the discipline of software management, start here."

Hidden Pond is a 2.9 mile lightly trafficked loop trail located near Springfield, Virginia that features beautiful wild flowers and is good for all skill levels. The trail offers a number of activity options and is accessible year-round. Dogs are also able to use this trail.
dog friendly
kid friendly
mountain biking
nature trips
wild flowers
Small scenic pond, gentle hike along creek. A short, but beautiful hike around a small nature pond and along Pohick creek. Nestled in the middle of Fairfax county, the park offers solitude, and opportunity for exploration.
Lots of cover in the summer. Great pond for spotting turtles, birds and fish. Nice little nature center.
Nice place to visit in the winter. It's a jungle in the summer.
Great for little kids and dogs!
Not really for biking. Would be a lovely walk, but it's not meant for bikes. If you do bike you may not be able to see people on the path, and the paths are narrow. Also, almost got ran over by a gator quad-type vehicle. •_•
Very cool trail but extremely slick during January
More hike than bike. Trails are not maintained regularly, some don't even connect. Nice & hidden away.

Scott raised an interesting question last week with his post about stage directions. At risk of stirring up those now quiet waters, I offer a broader suggestion: prepare the reader for the conventions of your script.
The generally accepted convention of stage directions for plays is that they describe what can be seen by an audience on stage. Whether or not that is "right," that's the trend. When a writer bucks a trend, he or she runs the risk of appearing that they don't know their craft.
In many plays I receive, the title page or the cover letter explains some of the text conventions: "\" for overlapping dialog, special formatting for projected text, italics for text translated into another language. The list goes on.
In the same spirit, a playwright might choose to include a note that said something to the effect of "This script employs literary stage directions which are intended to create an image for the reader. They are not intended to be instructions for directors or actors."
This sort of context helps not only with text conventions, but with the intentions of the script. I've read plays that are either spot on subtle satires, or pale imitations of classic work. A note about the author's intentions in that cover letter would help me figure out which. I've read scripts that are the result of some experimental process - but without any context for what that process is. As a result, I'm unable to properly read the text.
When reading 10 to 15 scripts a week, I simply don't have the time to fully explore a script as one would in preparation for production. So any help the author can give in familiarizing me quickly with his or her conventions and intentions will help me read the script in the appropriate context.

Stage Directions, a can of worms
Stage Directions cross to pantry, pick up flashlight, consider how batteries work...
I've been criticized a couple times in the past few months for the amount of stage directions I use. Personally, I don't feel like I use all that many. My plays have a lot of white space, typically. But this happened recently: a theatre in Detroit actually passed one of my scripts up the chain for further development, but then ultimately it got rejected because one reader said that I was trying too hard to tell the director how to direct and the actor how to feel. They called the stage directions "oppressive." Which made me feel like my script was not rejected on basis of its quality, but on some arbitrary argument of principle about what the province of the playwright is and isn't.
I like stage directions. I don't just like stage directions, I like impossible stage directions. My friend Jayita will literally write as a stage direction in a play, right in the middle of a scene with two friends talking in America about eating a hamburger, something like:
(A bomb goes off in Japan, but they only feel it in their pinky toes).
While this is an extreme example, I like the color that stage directions can bring to the reading of a script. I hate the stage directions of Eugene O'Neill, who will spend an entire paragraph describing what's on a table to the tiniest detail; but I love a good stage direction that describes a complicated emotional moment, or even better, an abstract concept.
I like to write something like:
(John stares ahead. His eyes unfocus, everything in front of him blurs together like the letters of a word you've stared at for ten minutes.)
Will that translate to the audience? Maybe not. But I don't think it necessarily needs to, and it's a direct communication with the reader...something that seems to be taboo in playwriting that I don't understand.
I don't like writing whimsically, so I don't try to make my characters describe emotions through poetics or departures from the scene. I like non-verbal communication and utterances, awkward tension, gutteral noises, and stutters. As a writer, sometimes the best way to describe a series of non-verbal moments or a period of silence, is to literally write the intention. The concept of the moment. The give and take.
I also think that stage direction can provide some exposition for directors and actors to consider, without dragging out exposition through forced expository dialogue, which personally I can spot like a blood stain on a doily.
Is the implication somehow that because we've chosen to write plays instead of prose, that we forfeit introspection?
Even as I say this, however, I have a tremendous respect for and faith in directors and actors. Without fail, they find things buried in text and bring them to light, and I'm consistently amazed by that. But it seems like writers are in a tricky spot. If you write no stage directions at all, the play may lose the intended shape, or certain ideas may lose emphasis; worse, a playwright could be called lazy or that they're relying too heavily on the actors to find the scene. If you write too many stage directions, you are controlling and arrogant, and how dare you have an opinion about your own work.
Obviously, if someone picks up "The Cherry Orchard," they aren't going to follow every last stage direction. I don't expect my plays to be hammered out word for word either. Productions are intended to reshape plays, interpret them, and bring a new perspective to them, but that doesn't mean the playwright should leave a blank slate in my opinion. Stage directions are, I believe, meant to inform, not dictate, the action. To that end I think they can be as specific or abstract as a playwright wants.
"Oppressive" is a pretty harsh word for having an opinion about when one's own character looks out the window. Or the moment they forget what their son's face looks like for that matter. Maybe that's the same moment. It probably is.

So I've been having discussions with several writers lately about the process of self-adaptation. That is to say, taking a short story you've written and writing it into a play. Or taking a play and turning it into a screenplay, or a novel. I went to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago for my MFA, and this is a persistent question at that school: how is a work served or disserved by experimenting with different forms within the same story or concept? SAIC's MFA is an interdisciplinary writing program, so people are often doing this at that school, writing something one way, then exploding and diversifying it into all different forms.
While I was there, I focused on plays, but now I'm becoming more and more interested in adaptations of my own work, while I'm still close to it. For part of my thesis project I adapted a short story of mine into a play, and found that suddenly the story worked in a completely new way.
Now, I'm interested in going the other direction, turning one play of mine into a screenplay and another into a novel. In talking with other writers, some people I've found are of the mind that there are countless ways to tell a single story, and so its good practice for any writer, playwright or no, to self-adapt from form to form (like a person changing their perspective over time). Others, I've found, are of the mind that retrofitting a play into prose or broadening a taut stage piece into a sprawling filmscript is just beating a dead horse.
Strangely, novels are turned into films and plays all the time, but the stigma attached to novelized versions of films is that they are a lowest of the low forms of literature. And no one seems to retrofit plays into long fiction, period.
Obviously there are pros and cons and we could argue that all week, but I'm interested specifically to know who else is doing this right now, or who has done it before (self-adaptation) and what the results were.

No such thing as zero budget
First off, thanks to Scott Barsotti for breathing some life into this lapsed blog.
A couple of days ago I got an email about Collaboraction's Studio Series project. That series has a lofty goal: creating art not tied to commercial considerations. One line in the call for particpants stuck out to me, however:
"This is a quarterly, process driven-program that lives and breathes in our studio, performs for one weekend, and operates with a $0 budget." (emphasis mine)
Now, I'm not criticising Collaboraction. They've been completely upfront about the goals, process and compensation. If you don't want to play by those rules, you just don't audition.
But it did get me thinking about the cost of making theater. And while that phrase "$0 budget" is true in the sense that there's no money exchanging hands, its not true in the sense that there is no cost.
Even if something is donated, is has a value that one could account for in a budget. Even if people are not paid, their time and energy certainly has a value.
So it strikes me that there are two kinds of budgets possible for any given production - one in which you account for cash flow. And another in which you attempt to account for donated time, materials, and space. Would publishing such "total picture" budgets help people quanitify the true cost of making a piece of theater?
Volunteer time and unpaid/underpaid time are a kind of hidden cost of making theater. And anytime there is a hidden cost, it seems to me that someone in the process has a vested interest in keep that cost hidden. Who benefits from the uncounted costs of production? Is this a product of a broken production model, or is it the neccesary cost of making an art in a form that resists commodification?

Take Back Genre
I've been working the past couple days with an interesting fellow named Charley Sherman, who's been around the Chicago scene for a long time and spent 8 years in London as well, before returning to the states 5 years ago. He worked a bunch with Steve Pickering as a director and adapter with Organic Theatre and Next, and now runs a company called Wild Claw with a show opening next week at the Athenaeum. We've been talking a lot about horror in specific, something that is very interesting to me lately. It seems that in the glory days of horror (film particularly), atmosphere was much more important than effects. It didn't matter if you saw the violence, saw the apparition, saw anything at all, as long as the suspense was palpable and the story probed some facet of human fear. Texas Chain Saw Massacre, The Exorcist, Halloween, all classic horror films with very little blood on screen, everything is implied. Your imagination fills the gaps.
I think the scariest stories are not about death and dying, or being harmed by someone, but about one's own weaknesses being exposed in the presence of danger. The fear of being lost, or abandoned, or failing miserably (certainly death and harm can be a consequence of these things and often is, especially in horror). Fear drives people to cowardice as well as heroism, to light as well as to dark. These are not things that rely on effects and sensation, but on storytelling. Atmosphere is what sets up horror, so why is it (as an example of genre) virtually absent from stage?
Horror, when done well, is full of subtext, truly a writer's canvas and an actor's medium. So why does film dominate the genre (and most sub-genres) while most stage horror is campy parody or tongue-in-cheek midnight riffs? Not just horror though, why is their such a lack of good, well-crafted genre stories onstage?
Or am I just missing it?

Honest Endings
I just finished re-reading a play that raises a craft question for me. How do we create honest endings for situations that in reality are on-going?
Say you write a play that deals with a family's struggle raising an autistic child. Well, the autism isn't going to disappear - the issues the family faces are life-long. So how do you create an ending - a sense of closure that clearly tells you the piece is over, without creating an accidental feeling that the struggles themselves are over?
I'm looking for actual examples here. What are some plays that you've written or read that dealt with ongoing struggles and how did they end? More to the point - how did you create a satisfactory ending rather than just stopping the piece. I mean, when the lights come up, the audience goes home, but that doesn't mean there was a satisfactory ending. Just an efficient stop.
A random thought on theory: people often place theory and practice in opposition. More than one writer on this blog has said in effect: "This is fun, but I've got to go make theater now." Theory is not just abstract thought, although we often treat it that way. To create a theory is to observe phenomena and then attempt to explain the reasons why the phenomena occurs. In an incredible simplification: Darwin observed the diveristy and similarity of species. And observed and observed. And evolutionary theory was created to explain that diversity and similiarity. To come up with the reason why.
And so, when I ask for concrete examples, that's the step I'm trying to take. Instead of pontificating (which is not theorizing), I'm asking us to make observations and try to relate those observations together.
So - like I said. Endings that honor the ongoing nature of a particular struggle. Who's got one?

The Hiccup of Length
Why can't I write an epic?
This is my first post. It happens to be the 54th post to NTFD, which is not a number that has significance to me, and I'm glad of that, because it really allays the pressure I would undoubtedly feel if this were the 16th post, or the 29th or something.
I am currently acting in/directing an episode of a trilogy of full-length plays called "The Madelyn Trilogy" which are being mounted by Curious Theatre Branch as part of the Rhino Fest. Beau O'Reilly wrote them, and each play comes in at 2.5-3 hours running time, totaling 8 solid hours of drama. The plays happen to be quite good, but the quality of the plays is not the issue. The hot button of this project, of course, is its length. 8 hours of theatre. Fringe theatre. No bangs and whistles, just solid writing, terrific acting, and an engaging, original story.
Recently, I was approached after a performance by a castmate's cousin, who was a complete jerk and "not someone who goes to theatre except to see his cousin perform" (so why am I talking to him about his opinions regarding theatre in the first place?) and he asked me, with a question that could not be more leaning or loaded: "Don't you think a writer asking an audience to watch an 8 hour play is self-indulgent?"
Ok ok, now of course, this guy is a jerk and made several comments during this encounter that made me want to shake my fists and growl. But this is the one that sticks with me, because it touched on something I've been obsessing about lately (perhaps because I've been doing an 8 hour trilogy since january): length. And specifically why it is so dwelt-upon in theatre by audiences and critics alike?
His question was best answered with another question: "Why is it more self-indulgent than a novelist asking you to spend 40 hours reading a single story they wrote? Or a writer creating the bible for a TV show that will take 6 seasons to complete?" The response, of course, is that "That's different."
Indeed, Beau's experiment is rooted in this. Shakespeare could get away with writing plays of length. So could Arthur Miller, Eugene O'Neill...Tom Stoppard and Tony Kushner are still getting away with it. I say "getting away with it" ironically, because writing a long play (even 8 hours long) is not an artistic crime, and shouldn't be considered one. John Barton's "Tantalus" which premiered in Denver several years ago was a 12-play cycle about the Trojan War that took 2 full days to perform once.
I've read Tantalus. It's...ok. But again, quality is not the concern of this, the 54th post on NTFD, but this question of length.
Why is theatre held to such strict standards of length? It seems that most people have this idea of what a play is and what theatre is supposed to be and supposed to do, what the rules are, what the context is, and how they're going to receive it, and how long they need to invest. We're willing to watch the entire Godfather Trilogy in one Saturday, but the idea of partaking in 8 hours of a play in three sittings over the course of a weekend (or even a 9-week run) makes people bristle.
Does it have nothing to do with the work itself and have everything to do with the form and venue? If you go to a play, yes, you are expected to be a willing captive, the actors can see you and hear you, the rest of audience is aware of you, you must sit quietly, politely, and watch. Is this what creates the standard of expected length? If this is true, then what makes theatre immediate, crucial, and unique is also what provides the excuse for it to be so harshly regarded (and often neglected) by the average consumer. When you see a play, you are (ideally) part of a cycle of energy that radiates from the performers out into the audience, through the audience, and back to the performers. When you see a play, the experience cannot be replicated, because next time around, the performance will not be the same, the specific combination of people in the seats will not be the same, and so forth. This is not true of films, in which the experience stays purely within the audience, and rarely extends beyond the individual. Even if you could give to the screen, it couldn't give back. The channel is one-way and static. Theatre is about community in a world that for all its connectivity is becoming more and more singular, and one of the few artforms that creates a direct and live two-way channel, because it has to.
As an experiment in length and depth, the Madelyn Trilogy is admittedly extreme. 8 hours is a long time to receive, share, give back, and receive again. But is that the only reason why we won't tolerate long plays? It can't be, because theatre didn't always follow this tendency of 10-minute plays and hour-long one-acts. Not only did writers used to write long plays, but producers produced them and people came to see them. It was an event. The play has shrunk over time. Shakespeare's 5 acts became Chekhov's 4 became Miller's 3 became the modern moment's 2. But wait! Even 2 act plays are frowned at more and more.
The dangerous thing to me about this trend is the way it affects the way we write. Writers are writing short plays because that's what can be produced. There are countless one-act festivals and short-play marathons across the country where writers can get their work done, as long as it's under 10 pages long. Even if that 4 act Faust comedy you're sitting on is the best play anyone's written in 20 years, good luck getting it put on. It's certainly affected me: 12 of my plays have been produced, but only 4 of them 'full-length,' and only 2 of those require an intermission.
How does this length issue affect you? Why does it exist, and why now more than 40 years ago? I don't want to blame TV and the internet because that would be easy, but is that the most logical answer? Is it that people don't want to take part in the creation of the event, they merely want it to happen to them? But then why go to a Cubs game instead of watching it at home?
Chris Piatt wrote in his review of Tracy Letts' epic "August Osage County" something to the effect of most American playwrights are writing plays that are nothing more than tumbleweeds rolling across a desolate landscape, and that to make a mark in this day and age and add to the canon, you gotta show up wearing some serious shit-kickers, I believe was the term. But that seems to imply any of several things, none of which are true:
1) Most playwrights don't have the guts to write something epic.
2) All good plays, or even great plays, get produced.
3) All playwrights have the option to get something like Osage County produced at a venue like Steppenwolf, but choose rather to dabble in unimportant trifles, or don't have the ability to write it in the first place.
The only difference between Tracy Letts' epic and the epic that all playwrights have sitting on their floor collecting dust is that his got done, for whatever combination of reasons, many being obvious, and one certainly being that the play was good. But his isn't the only one. It's not fair to take a struggling playwright to Osage County, then smack them on the chest, point at the stage and say "Why can't you do that?" It seems pretty transparent to me, actually, why most of us can't do that, and it has nothing to do with writing.
The climate has created the condition, not the other way around. It isn't fair that writers are expected to adhere to certain constraints or—god forbid—rules, but then we're criticized when the scene doesn't produce anything that sticks or demands attention. Everyone cries for the next Great American Drama, and then moan about having to spend more than an hour in the theatre, once in a while deciding "this one gets a pass" because of where and who and because they had enough money to build a staircase onstage. I would argue that The Madelyn Trilogy is a much more important work due to its context and the gesture it makes, going further despite the norm and not allowing budgetary or technical limitations to dictate the writer's process.
We'd all love to write something huge, or we at least should have the option to. But we don't. Tony Kushner does. Tom Stoppard does. Saying Tracy Letts is more important or has more to say than another playwright because of Osage County's epicness is like saying an NFL receiver is elite simply because he catches a lot of passes. But he doesn't control if it's thrown to him, does he? All he can do is get open.

The coming year will bring us more natural looks than we have seen before. Among them you will find long box braids hairstyles 2017. Actually, the trends vote for looking as close to natural looks as possible. That is why the fashion weeks black models wore short afro haircuts, or dreadlocks and other protective hairstyles. Indeed, there were times when models with mocca skin and dizzy hair were obliged to wear wigs and straighten hair, that was impossible stress. Nowadays, we are free to boast natural hair – be it a shot 'fro or extra long locs. Why box braids will be still popular? Well, among the protective styles they always stay aside with the unique style they create. Besides on their base one can design incredible hair looks, not possible even with own hair. Obviously, you need to try getting longest braids during your next visit to your hairstylist. But before that have a look at the below inspirational collection of black women rocking extra long extensions.
Long locs updo hairstyles
Love to be in the course of tendencies to follow the recent trends? You can not only love but also do it. Long locs will allow you to create the hit of the past summer and of the coming season – half updos. This is the style that will allow you take hair away from face. And also will still show off the length and the glossy and healthy strands. Besides, be creative and go further with ponytails, French braids and some very complicated updos. The extreme length makes it all possible.
Long box braids with cool beads
What can look even more impressive than long box braids hairstyles 2017? Waring them with beads. Yes the traditional method of adding the metallic, silver or colorful beads will always make you look more jazzy.
Extra long box braids hairstyles 2017
Well, the looks with locs of premium length are for sure awesome. But you must bare in mind that you will require time to spend on care. Nobody will like jumbo braids that are not shining with health. So be ready that each night oiling roots and washing these long strands twice a week will take your time. But you know that beauty demands sacrifice.

Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph. D., Founder and Mediator of Nonviolent Communication (NVC)
This world of ours is filled with violence – not only at the places of global conflict like Kashmir, Jugoslavia, Irland, Middle East and Africa, but also around us – in schools, in families, at work – with one word in all kinds of relationships and even inside of us. Someone who has devoted his life to study and deal with the fundamental roots and patterns of violence not only in theory, but in practical terms of mediation is Marshall B. Rosenberg. Meanwhile he is known and honored as a pioneer of practical mediation in reconciliation and peace-making not only in areas of conflict and wars, but also applying his method most efficiently in schools, hospitals, business offices, police departments, administrastions and all kinds of civic organizations throughout the world.
Dr. Rosenberg is founder and director of educational services for the Center for Nonviolent Communication, an international, non-profit organization.
Nonviolent Communication training evolved from Dr. Rosenberg's efforts to develop effective tools for conflict resolution and ways of disseminating much needed peacemaking skills. The Center for Nonviolent Communication emerged out of work he was doing with different civil organizations in the early 1960s. During this period he provided mediation and communication skills training to communities working to peacefully desegregate schools and other public institutions.
Since the inception of the Center, the response to Nonviolent Communication training has been extremely positive. It is seen as a powerful tool for peacefully resolving differences at personal, professional, and political levels. Dr. Rosenberg provides Nonviolent Communication training in Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Austria, Malaysia, India, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, and Canada, as well as in the United States. He works with such groups as educators, managers, mental health and health care providers, lawyers, military officers, prisoners, police and prison officials, clergy, government officials, and individual families. He is also active in war-torn areas and economically disadvantaged countries, offering Nonviolent Communication training to promote reconciliation and peaceful resolution of differences. Israel, Palestine, Ireland, Russia, Rwanda, Burundi, Nigeria, Serbia, and Croatia are examples of countries where Nonviolent Communication is being utilized by teams of peace activists.
Worldwide reactions have been inspiring. Evaluations indicate that this training vastly strengthens the ability to connect compassionately with oneself and others, as well as to resolve differences peacefully. Reports also indicate that the benefit of the training is not only stable over time, but actually increases.
Dr. Rosenberg has been able to teach individuals to give the training in their own community, work, educational, and political environments, and in their own languages, with the same positive effects.
"When we hear the other person's feelings and needs, we recognize our common humanity." (Marshall B. Rosenberg)
International peacemaker, mediator and educator, and founder of the Center for Nonviolent Communication, Dr. Marshall Rosenberg spends more than 250 days each year teaching the NVC process in some of the most impoverished, war-torn states of the world. More than 180 certified trainers and hundreds of supporters teach NVC to over 250,000 people in more than 35 countries each year.
Visionary Leader Sees Hope for World Peace
Marshall B. Rosenberg, Ph.D., author of Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life, has taken up where Gandhi, King, and other past visionary leaders for peace left off. An internationally renowned visionary himself, Rosenberg 's credentials rank him as one of the foremost new leaders for world peace. His equally visionary communication process, Nonviolent Communication (NVC), is the cornerstone of what global leaders, educators, and beyond are identifying as the missing link to the solution we all seek. Viewed through NVC eyes, all anger and violence – both in the world at large and in our own personal lives – is a counter-productive attempt by people to meet their needs.
NVC in Action
At the beginning of Marshall 's presentation in a Palestinian refugee camp, an angry Palestinian father stood up and screamed, "You murderer!" Using his NVC skills, Marshall Rosenberg sensed that this man was venting his anger toward America at him personally. Instead of reacting defensively, Rosenberg connected with the man's deep feelings of frustration and his need to be heard. Almost instantly, the tension in the room was diffused and a productive conversation about difficult issues facing those in the camp continued, with both sides sharing and listening respectfully. At the end of the evening the same man who had yelled "Murderer" invited Marshall home to a Ramadan dinner. Focused on shared human needs and heartfelt connection with others, NVC promises to help guide us to a more peaceful world. (Read the entire "Murderer" story here.)
Developing a Visionary Philosophy
Growing up in a turbulent Detroit neighborhood, Marshall Rosenberg developed a keen interest in conflict resolution and how new forms of communication could provide peaceful alternatives to the violence he encountered. His interest led to a Ph.D. in clinical psychology in 1961 from the University of Wisconsin. But he was dissatisfied with the focus on pathology he saw there, which did not help him understand the very compassionate people he had known growing up. His subsequent study of comparative religion, and his own varied life experience, convinced him that human beings are not inherently violent and motivated him to develop the visionary communication process he calls Nonviolent Communication (NVC).
NVC is a powerful process for inspiring compassionate connection and action that helps prevent and resolve conflicts at personal, professional, and political levels. NVC teaches us to fully and honestly express ourselves without any blame or criticism and to empathically connect with others, without hearing blame or criticism, even when others express themselves in anger or fear.
His Work as a Visionary Leader
Dr. Marshall B. Rosenberg is Founder and Director of Educational Services for the Center for Nonviolent Communication (CNVC). He has provided training and initiated peace programs in a number of war-torn areas including Rwanda, Burundi, Nigeria, Malaysia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Sierra Leone, the Middle East, Colombia, Serbia, Croatia, and Northern Ireland. In the former Yugoslavia, a CNVC team has trained hundreds of teachers who have reached tens of thousands of students from kindergarten through high school. NVC has been officially recognized by the government of Israel and is offered in many schools in that country. Dr. Rosenberg's newest book is an excellent resource for teachers, educators, managers, politicians, and anyone who wants to connect with others more meaningfully.
World Peace is Within Our Reach
With visionary philosophies, a visionary communication process, and some very hard work, Marshall Rosenberg has kept the door open to the prospect of world peace. While he's a new leader for peace on the global stage, his time-tested formula for change is spreading as a grass-roots movement from person to person and region to region: "Creating a life-enriching quality of connection that allows all our needs to be met in ways that are satisfying for everyone involved." Working together with Marshall Rosenberg and NVC, world peace is within our reach.

Clinton said, "I don't understand his bizarre fascination with dictators and strong man who have no love for America. He praised China for the Tienanmen Square massacre and said that it showed strength. He said you've got to give him credit for taking over North Korea, something he did by murdering everyone he saw as a threat including his own uncle which Donald described gleefully like he was recapping an action movie. And he said if he were rating Vladimir Putin as a leader, he will give him in A. Now I will leave it to the psychiatrists to explain his affection for tyrants. I just wonder how anyone can be so wrong about who America's real friends are. If you don't know exactly who you are dealing with, men like Vladimir Putin will eat your lunch."

I want to send special thanks to Betsy Brown whom I've only had the pleasure of meeting in person once, and she doesn't realize it but she impressed me in that brief encounter as a wonderful lady who is also great at what she does with books. Thanks, Betsy, for putting up with me on this project.
Rhonda Tinch-Mize made sure that the missing pieces and bad writing were handled. That's not a simple task when one considers the authorship of this book! In addition, Elizabeth Finney kept patient while my e-mails got stranded between here and there. Elizabeth, thank you so much for following up those times when I needed it.
Linda Bird somehow took my words and developed them into meaningful words and that was quite a feat. I have learned a lot about Linda since we began this project, and I know how special she is to this book, but even more so to her family. Georgena Harrison, this project's Technical Editor, had to wade through all the problems I put into this book's first draft. The repairs are all hers and any problems that may be left are all mine. In addition, the other staff and editors on this project, namely Tony Reitz, Sandy Henselmeier, and Liz Patterson made this book better than it otherwise could be.
My lovely and gracious bride stands by my side night and day. Thank you once again. You, precious Jayne, are everything that matters to me on earth. The best parents in the world, Glen and Bettye Perry, continue to encourage and support me in every way. I am who I am because of both of them.
Greg Perry

We are at the stage now where I think we officially have a "history" to be told! I wanted to let everyone know why and how the Heart of Texas Recumbent Rally evolved.
My name is Jane Knight, and I discovered recumbent trikes in 2007. I had been in a accident when I was in my early 20's, and had been totally inactive for over 20 years. I had been left deaf, blind, and with no balance from the accident, and it was a slow row to hoe finding an activity I could handle and would allow me to start moving again.
I found my first recumbent on eBay, a Delta trike. While it literally opened a previously slammed shut door and got me out exercising, I quickly became "bent" on finding an alternative. With Internet searches, I discovered tadpole trikes. I started asking questions all over trying to learn as much as I could in order to choose a trike that would be the perfect fit. I sent out tons of emails to dealers, manufacturers — ANYBODY who might know something about them. The one person that ALWAYS patiently answered me was Mike Librik at Easy Street Recumbents. That is how my relationship with Mike began.
Fast forward: In January, 2008 I was now the proud owner of a Catrike 700. I was over-the-top IN LOVE with my new baby. I am sure just about every recumbent trike owner knows this feeling. Through the Internet, I was able to meet some other Catrike owners from the Dallas area. HEY! Let's have a Catrike Rally up in Dallas to meet other Catrike owners! In 2009, the Texas Catrike Rally met up in Dallas at White Rock Lake. It was the best time ever being able to ride with other recumbent riders!
Mike heard about what we were doing, and loved the thought of having a recumbent event to socialize and ride with other Bents. So Mike graciously offered to host the Heart of Texas Catrike Rally. In the spring of 2010, the First Annual Heart of Texas Catrike Rally was held. It was attended by less than 20 people. While it was a MUCH different format than the HOT's today, it was a terrific time and many close friendships were made.
Thus, the Second Annual HOT Catrike Rally rolled off in 2011. We were hearing from a lot of recumbent riders who didn't ride Catrikes by then. They wanted in on our fun. Sure! So in 2012, the HOT officially became the Heart of Texas RECUMBENT Rally The attendance swelled to over 50 people. We had some learning curves to deal with, but everything went amazingly smoothly.
In 2013, I decided we needed a RODEO – this is Texas! Hardly any of the riders had ever dreamed about riding their recumbents in the way the rodeo events called for. It was one of the most fun times EVER.
In 2014 we continued the Rodeo theme and added another event: the Hot Shot race! Think of it as a drag race for bikes and trikes. SO much fun!
So now we are approaching out sixth annual Heart of Texas RECUMBENT Rally and Rodeo! We have a few new ideas we are going to try and fully expect another fabulous event.
I would like for people to understand what goes on to make the HOT happen. Mike "hired" me to be the "Minister of Recumbent Culture" for Easy Street. I don't offer advice. I don't sell recumbents. Goodness knows I don't have any mechanical knowledge. My job is to bring recumbent riders together to enjoy their bikes and trikes and befriend others who share their passion for recumbent cycling. Easy Street is not your typical "business." Sure, Mike has to make money in order to offer the finest quality merchandise and service you can get in recumbents. But profits are not the driving force in Easy Street's philosophy. Incredibly, integrity is at the top of their business model. Mike wants the people that roll out of Easy Street on a recumbent to be happy with their new way of riding. From the first Heart of Texas Catrike Rally, Mike has given me free rein to Make It Happen. I am sure he probably cringed MANY times with my planning and ideas, but he has always been 100% supportive – morally and financially. Mike is the reason the HOT happens.
I spend 365 days a year working on the HOT. It is my passion. I have met the BEST friends EVER through my work with the HOT. Since I am legally blind, I cannot drive, so I have a LOT of time to spend on the computer doing research, planning, and organizing. But not being able to use a telephone or drive makes doing tasks that require these skills impossible for me. This event could NOT happen without the unselfish dedication and help of people like Steve and Patti Erickson, Dan Hansen, Arif Vadsaria, Kenny Garrett. Renay and Christi Andrews, Billy Younts — too many to list. Shelley Stracener is always there for me. Gary and Gay Bradford have an excitement for recumbent riding that brings so much FUN to the HOT. Even my BFF, Cindy Simmons, who rides four legged horses – not three wheeled trikes, is an enormous help with the HOT. Each year so many truly terrific people come forward to offer their help in making the HOT a three day rolling party! I am so humbled by your friendship and unselfishness.
The HOT is NOT a money making venture Mike employs to rake in profits. Oh, we PRAY it brings in some sales, don't get me wrong. But we do NOT host the HOT for profit. If that were the case, Mike would not have ME behind it. I bargain, plead, argue, and beg with businesses to keep the price down. But I do not want to bankrupt Mike for wanting to have this event for recumbent enthusiasts. We don't do things real fancy at the HOT in order to keep costs down so we don't have to raise registration fees so high. The sales from the shirts and jerseys, as well as the raffle tickets for the prize drawings, go to cover the cost of putting the HOT on. Any left over goes to help the charity Assistive Recumbents for All, a non profit organization that works hard to provide recumbent trikes to those in physical and financial need
So there you have it. This is how the HOT came to be. We hope this will continue growing and become a Must Do event for recumbent cyclists every year.
Y'all come!
