I was a child (six years old) when Clinton came into office. He was my first president and thus he is the standard by which I measure any president after him. That standard is actually pretty high. Clinton was great and I knew it as a child of about ten years old. In fact I remember being interested in politics way back in the third grade. During the election of '96 I would walk around the playground before school and during recess with my arm positioned awkwardly, holding an imaginary pen, doing an impression of Bob Dole. The kids loved it. The point that I'm trying to make with that story is that I've always known which candidate would be better for the country. At first it was a gut feeling and as I matured facts started to become more important than gut feelings. What hasn't changed as I matured is my leaning toward the left of the political spectrum. During this past election both the facts and my gut feeling told me that Obama was the man for this time. This is the second election I've voted and this time I wasn't disappointed.
About a half hour ago our 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama, (God, I love saying that) took the oath of office and gave an incredible speech. It truly lived up to the hype surrounding it. It will surely go down in history as one of the greatest presidential addresses in out nation's history if not for the content of the speech then for the fact that he is out first black president.
Obama is an incredible orator. There are so many elements of today's address that moved me but I'll go over some of the highlights. What I love about Barack is that he levels with you. And I use the word 'you' instead of 'us' or 'we' because when he speaks it feels as if he talking directly to you. I have no doubt that each and every one of the people present in D.C. today felt as if Obama was speaking directly to them. While Obama levels with you in the way he acknowledges America's problems and challenges does it in a way that shows intelligence on his part. Its very interesting to see him do this through the use of pure honesty and language that isn't quite flowery or inflated but deliberate and thoughtful.
He has a unique ability to inspire. Most politicians give speeches full of inflated, flowery language meant to inspire and everyone applauds their effort but it feels hollow. Those speeches felt fake. The words seem forced and obligatory. Obama's speech on the other hand, was as real as you could get. His message was all about hope, change, meeting challenges, and it gave me a confidence not only in my country but in myself. His speech inspired me to strive for greatness. I haven't read, heard or seen any speech that moved me like the one President Obama (saying that is like ecstasy) gave just over an hour ago.
As someone in my twenties I understand that the generation before me may not get this. That's okay. What they need to remember, and I think Obama has put this message across on occasion, is that once you reach an age where you have children, you need to vote based on their best interest. Because my generation is the generation that will be running the world in the near future. Obama is everyone's president but he is my generation's president most of all. We put him in and we (I hope) will continue what he started long after he is gone.
Obama's inauguration came just when this country really needed it. His message of hope is genuine. This man is not placating us. To those who would say people like me are just groupies I say stop looking at this moment in history through your filter of fear and denial and just listen to what Obama said today. If you were truly listening - not reading between the lines, analyzing the meaning of certain words, or comparing him to anyone else - then there is no doubt you have been inspired. I am proud to have Barack Obama as my president.
(I'm wearing my Obama T-Shirt my sister got me when she visited D.C. She took a trip to Penn State and went with my mother to the capital afterward.)

Comfortable apartment for couple, family or group of friends This spacious comfortable 1 bedroom apartment has exactly the same living room, bathroom, terrace and hall as the two bedroom flat , and the same generous equipment. For TWO PEOPLE, it has far more space and comfort than an aparthotel bedsitting room for little extra cost!A family, or group of friends, could SLEEP 4 comfortably, using the comfortable bunks in the hall recess plus a baby if the cot is requested, or extra child on a floor mattress. Free basic welcome pack on arrival included in cost. In the BEDROOM are two beds, new this season. A full size, European standard wooden COT can be erected on request.. The bedroom has a large fitted mahogany cupboard with plenty of hangers, a chest of drawers , mirrors, bedside table, lamp, and radio alarm clock.In the HALL there is an ALCOVE with two comfortable bunk beds, bedside tabel and lamp. The TERRACE overlooks the pool and nature reserve: it has wooden chairs and table. The SALON has AIR CONDITIONING, comfortable leather sofas, tables, lamps, TV, DVD, radio/cd player, games, books etc and a very well equiped kitchen area. The BATHROOM has a large shower, shelves for your belongings, a hook for your clothes, and plenty of hot water.If a flat sleeping up to nine is required, the secure interconnecting door between the apartments can be unlocked and the two apartment used as one. Secret MoroccoFew Europeans know of this sunny friendly coast, only a few kilometers from Spain- they think of Morocco as Marrakesh and desert! Here fertile lands growing amazing fruit and vegetables sweep down to the golden beaches and the warm Mediterranean sea teeming with fish that can be eaten the next day in many excellent restaurants.. The King has required sensitive development- his summer palace is ten minutes from the complex-so buildings are low rise, but plumbing and roads are modern, and there is very little crime.The sea is twenty minutes walk from the complex, with dunes, then safe shelving sand into the clean sparkling water. There are umbrellas and icecreams near the entrance steps, but the golden sands stretch a long way if you prefer a patch to yourselves.The Marjane supermarket is 10 mins drive away where you can buy just about anything (including wine , beer and spirits) - or you can buy sparking fish caught that morning at the fish market in M'Diq and fresh vegetables in the market there.The excellent - and beautiful- 18hole golf course, (where you can see the Royal Family play on occasion), is beside the sea. For enthusiasts for golf, there is the Tangier golf course to provide variety , about 3/4 hour drive away as well.There is an excellent selection of restaurants within walking distance, from pizza cooked in the authentic ovens to gourmet dining.The life of Moroccans still reflects an ancient culture. The medinas of Tetouin and Chefchouan take you back to past centuries, you can watch unchanged handicrafts being practiced and buy jewel- like pottery , carpets and kaftans. Crime figures are very low and people are welcoming and friendly. Prices are lower than in Europe, especially in the wonderful restaurants. Fish straight from the sea is a speciality- from the market cafes in MDiq to the sophisticated restaurant at Cabo Corner ten minutes walk from the complex. Cafes do not serve alcohol, but most restaurants and hotels do, and it can be bought at the supermarket at prices similar to UK.Bird watchers will glory in the 400 species that migrate between Africa and Europe here and naturalists admire the carpets of wild flowers on the mountains in Spring. There is an excellent riding stables within walking distance- midnight riding along the beach is popular. There is a water park with fairground attractions about 15 mins away, and thalassotherapy at a luxurious centre ten minutes away- or Moroccan massage at a herbal therapy centre in the MedinaThe friendly couple who manage the flats for me live near the complex and are delighted to advise on places to go and things to see, whether you hire your own car or use their air conditioned chauffeur service to go on expeditions.Things to DoThe apartment and complex has everything you need -you could just chill out! Lie in the sun by the pool , watch your favourite programns on satelite TV,play tennis, let your children splash in the pool, swing and slide in the playground or run round the garden , it is a safe gated complex . But if you want amusement and interest, there is so much choice. Go on expeditions to nearby resorts, have a camel ride, watch the magicians, eat an ice cream - or slide down the tubes in the water park, maybe have an hour or a days pampering at the thalassotherapy centre 15 mins away. Go duty free shopping in Ceuta or find a bargain in the medina. Take a ride on the excellent horses from the stables nearby. Stroll to the golden sands that stretch for miles and swim in the crystal clear watrers of the warm meditteranean.The drive through the mountains to the blue town of Chaouan is magical: the town is enchanting and full of interesting things to buy or you can go on a guided hike through the mountains.Explore the fascinating Moroccan way of life, visit the local fish market, go out in a fishing boat,visit the museums and handcraft centre in Tetouin. Take to the mountains and see Chefchouan, famous for the beauty of its tiny blue- shadowed alleys,inviting handicraft shops and views.This is a good place for hiking too.You could visit Spain or Gibraltar for an awayday to see a contrasting way of life- the ferry is 3/4 hour- or helicopter to Malalga from the Ceuta heliport.
This is the general location

Title: | Basketball Operations/Sports Publicity Assistant (Primary Media Contact: Women's Basketball & Baseball) |
Email: | email@example.com |
Jon Erickson enters his third year at Yale in 2012-13 and his second season coordinating the Women's Basketball team's operations responsibilities. He is also a Sports Information Assistant for Yale's Sports Publicity Department, serving as the primary media contact for women's basketball and baseball.
During his first two seasons at Yale, Erickson has assisted a staff that guided the Bulldogs to their first-ever WNIT appearance in 2011 and to a 16-win season for just the third time in their 39-year history in 2011-12.
In his operations role, Erickson is responsible for coordinating all areas of the women's basketball team's travel, including transportation, lodging, scheduling practice and shoot around times, and making arrangements for team meals. He also assists in game preparation in the area of statistical analysis.
Erickson brings a tremendous passion for the game of women's basketball to Yale with more than 10 years of experience in the game of women's basketball, including six years of working alongside the women's basketball team at the University of Connecticut and 10 seasons of working with the WNBA.
During that time, Erickson has had the honor of working alongside Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame members Teresa Edwards and Geno Auriemma, Women's Basketball Hall of Famer Jennifer Gillom, as well as Olympic gold medalists and WNBA All-Stars Seimone Augustus and Diana Taurasi.
While working at Yale, Erickson also works as a team statistician and game day public relations assistant for the WNBA's Connecticut Sun. In this role, Erickson serves as the team's primary scorekeeper during all home games while working as a secondary media contact for the Sun's media relations department.
Prior to coming to Yale, Erickson was the Public Relations Manager for the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx for the 2007 and 2008 seasons under head coach Don Zierden. During his time with the Lynx, Erickson directed all publicity efforts for the Lynx, traveled with the team to all road games, and managed the team's website and social media efforts.
Before moving into public relations with the Lynx, Erickson spent 12 years as a sports writer, with the last nine years as a sports staff writer for the Journal Inquirer newspaper, a daily newspaper in the Hartford-metro area. While at the Journal Inquirer, Erickson assisted with the paper's coverage of the UConn women's basketball team, which included reporting assignments at the NCAA Women's Final Four in 2002, 2003, and 2004, which coincided with UConn's three consecutive national championships.
Erickson first discovered his passion for women's basketball as a member of the Varsity Pep Band at UConn during the Huskies' 35-0 season in 1995, which ended with the school's first-ever NCAA national championship in basketball.
Erickson lives in West Haven, Conn., with his wife Melanie and their four children, Taylor (10), Madison (9), Cailyn (5) and Andrew (2).

Stamp Prices Increase on Jan. 27
Stamps for 1 oz letters will cost 46 cents as of Sunday, Jan. 27.
The cost of a stamp will increased by a penny tomorrow, Jan. 27. Stamps for a first-class letter up to 1 oz will now cost 46 cents through the U.S. Postal Service. However, you're in luck if you've stocked up on forever stamps at a Bensalem or nearby post office.

But once the postage rates go up, the price of the Forever stamp will also increase by one cent. If the Post Office is already closed for the day, but you still wish to purchase Forever stamps, many grocery stores carry them. Just ask the clerk checking you out or visit the customer service desk or the counter where lottery tickets are sold. …

Sore nipples are not inevitable during the early days of breastfeeding. Painful feedings are a signal that something's not right and you need to make a change.
You can expect some tenderness in your nipples during the first days of breastfeeding. As baby grasps the nipple and stretches the breast tissue, you may feel a pulling sensation that is uncomfortable. However as baby begins to suck and your milk lets down, breastfeeding should become more comfortable. This initial soreness should improve within two to four days after birth, if baby is positioned well at the breast and latched-on properly.
If baby is having difficulty learning to latch-on efficiently, you can expect that your nipples will be sore. Pain that lasts throughout the feeding or soreness that persists beyond one week postpartum indicates that something needs to be changed about the way that baby is latching-on or sucking. It's important to do something about nipple soreness before it gets worse and your nipples develop painful cracks. If you are dreading the next feeding because your nipples hurt, get some help from a lactation specialist.
Sore nipples in the first days and weeks postpartum are usually the result of poor latch-on or baby's sucking technique. Sore nipples that persist beyond the early weeks postpartum or that occur after weeks or months of pain-free breastfeeding may have other causes, such as a candida infection.
Careful attention to how your baby takes the breast will prevent, or at least minimize, problems with sore nipples. prevention is by far the best cure! See Latch-on basics to teach your baby to breastfeed correctly. If you have problems with positioning and latch-on, get hands-on help from a lactation consultant before your nipples get terribly sore and your baby develops poor nursing habits.
The first and most important thing to do if you have sore nipples is to check how baby is being positioned at the breast and how baby is latching on. When baby is positioned and latched-on correctly, the sucking pressure and the action of his tongue and gums is on the areola (the pigmented area around the nipple), rather than on the sensitive nipple itself.
If your nipples are very sore, baby is probably not getting enough breast tissue in his mouth. A horizontal red stripe across the tip of your nipple or a temporary indentation at the base of your nipple are signs that the nipple is not far enough back in the baby's mouth during sucking. The baby's tongue may be rubbing against the tip of the nipple (ouch!) or the baby's gums are chomping at the base of the nipple instead of on the areola over the milk sinuses. (See illustration.) This kind of sucking is painful for mom, and inefficient for baby. Baby will not get enough milk if he sucks only the tip of your nipple.
Here's how to work on the problem:
In the early days of breastfeeding, you'll have to keep working at getting your baby latched-on properly, even if it means taking the baby off the breast and starting over several times at the beginning of feedings. If you do this, you'll soon be rewarded with pain-free breastfeeding. If you are struggling with latch-on or your nipples have gone beyond the mildly-sore stage to the painfully, cracked or bleeding stage, get help. The sooner you get help, the easier it will be to fix the problem. Call a lactation consultant or a La Leche League Leader.

Hot Tools Professional Spring Curling Iron
Lisa C.PittsburghHairLight BrownNormal HairDry HairColor Treated HairBarrel Was Too WideWhile the spring curling iron was easy to use, heated up extremely fast, and had a long, strong, cord, I picked the wrong barrel size. The 1 1/2 inch barrell gave my naturally wavy and thick hair lots of body initially, but it actually made it straighter once I got out of the house. In fact, a couple folks said they liked the new style. However, I was just looking to replace my conair curling iron, and keep my styling the same.
I had to return the iron.posted Sep 11, 2012Link to this post -

Attention, don't give away your work!If possible please this news article so that more people can see it and be wary, thank you! This week I received messages from two different people (through Etsy and Storenvy) offering to make a review of my work. They splattered huge statics, like having millions of instagram followers, popularity, or having done it before and making people famous. Of course, their generosity was conditioned by me agreeing to send them some of my work for free. While I don't object the concept of reviewing someone's work, I worry that this has become a popular way of scamming artisan crafters to give away their work for free with promises of exposure and increasing their sales. I wanted to write this journal to tell everyone to be careful, specially if you're just starting your business and struggling to get noticed, it may sound tempting but you should never give away your hard work!One of them was even more blunt and said that he could write a positive review of my work just by

this is THE best chocolate and peanut butter recipe I have ever made. It reminds me of funny bones. It is a recipe that is requested many times!
Reviewed on Jan. 23, 2013 by angelgirlsoprano
I'm glad I read the recepie carefully to see it called for large muffin tins. I used standard sized tins and made 24 standard cupcakes in liners. I doubled the peanutbutter filling so each cupcake had about a tablespoon. I frosted just like the photo and still used a a single batch. Cupcakes turned out nice and moist and frosting had a fabulous rich flavor. Little time consuming, but worth it.

DON"T waste your time. I would give zero if I could. I wish I could attach a picture to show you how poorly these turned out. Ruined, and now I will be going to the Christmas party with nothing. I used all the batter, and there was an excess - but it was supposed to be "12 large cupcakes"- turned into overflowed pan (glad I didn't use the excess). Made a huge mess. Wouldn't separate. The peanut butter gooed out the bottom. Worst recipe I think I've ever followed. Would never try this again.

I'll break down my review: the chocolate cake part itself is okay. It's very moist, but seems to be almost too soft (if that makes sense?) There wasn't much chocolate flavor in the cake itself. The peanut butter filling is pretty good, but I'd probably double the amount in the future. And finally, the frosting is absolutely DELICIOUS! One of the best chocolate frostings I have ever made!
Reviewed on Apr. 10, 2012 by Maiseheartsfashion
First Off- I am only reviewing the filling!And It is good, Only giving it 4 * b/c I found a way to make EVEN BETTER! I made this 3 x, Once as someone else said & once as recipe is, & then I only had 2oz cream cheese...THE BEST! 1/2 C. Peanut butter + 2oz Cream cheese & a pinch of salt. the rest is the same as recipe called for! DELISH & bakes great inside, this is perfect to get that reese pb cup-cake feel :) Oh, & I froze the leftover filling...but then ate it up like frozen cookie dough. yeah..
Reviewed on Jan. 17, 2012 by RachelJane101
These cupcakes are delicious! I did make several modifications: I omitted the water entirely; I added a pinch of sea salt to the filling and the frosting; I doubled the pb in the filling; I used brown sugar instead of white sugar in the filling; I cut the confectioners' sugar by 1/2 cup; I added 2 extra tbsps of cocoa and 2 extra tbsps of milk to the frosting; I whipped the frosting with electirc beaters for a full 15 minutes on med-high; and I mistakenly omitted all of the baking powder in the batter! Even with this oversight, the cupcakes rose a bit, were not dense but were soft and moist. The added sea salt in the filling and frosting resulted in a very Reese's-like flavour. Also, I chilled the filling and rolled it into little balls which made it easier to plop inside the batte and then covered with another spoonful of batter. My husband ate three in a row. I will be making this over and over.

Confederates in the Attic

This book was strong and kept me entertained. I thought the author did a fairly good job of keeping his personal views quiet, with a few notable exceptions. As a yankee girl myself I really enjoyed learning more about the South. A ll in All, good read...I wasn't able put it down before I was done.

Can do spirit: What can you make from canned pumpkin? That's exactly the Halloween challenge we posed to pastry chefs. Their recipes are below. (Bob Fila/Chicago Tribune) |
It's orange, it's mushy, and it's perfect for baking.
It's canned pumpkin.
But what can you make from it? That's exactly the Halloween challenge we posed to pastry chefs at three Kansas City, Mo.-area bakeries -- Bloom Baking Co. in Kansas City, 3 Women and an Oven in Overland Park, Kan., and Butter Cups Bakery in Louisburg, Kan.
The rules were simple:
-- Create a baked good using canned pumpkin.
-- Give it a Halloween theme.
-- Make the recipe easy for readers to make at home.
Here are the chefs who accepted our challenge and their creations.
In his 57 years, Stephen Zaragoza has had numerous jobs, including driving trucks, being a railroad switchman, and -- oh yes -- working for Donald Trump. In the late '80s Zaragoza worked at Trump's hotel, The Grand Hyatt, in New York City. He cooked in the rich man's casino, and even served the Donald on his private yacht.
"I loved working for him because when he told you to do something he didn't care how much it cost," he said. "Just get it done. That was nice."
How'd he get from trucks and railroads to Trump's employ?
He also worked for catering companies and hotels, including a stint as the assistant banquet maitre d' at the former Vista Hotel. He worked there for two years before being transferred with several other employees to Trump's New York hotel.
When his mother became ill he returned to Kansas City. He met Janet O'Toole while both worked at a local catering company.
Since they loved the same things, they became engaged and decided to open Bloom Baking Co. together.
But where?
"Janet was raised on a farm in North Central Kansas," he said. "Coming to the farmer's market felt comfortable, like home. The City Market was a place where people still waved to each other."
They opened Bloom Baking Co. together in the City Market last year. Today the pair love making fresh breads, authentic French macarons (not to be confused with macaroons), and serving lunch.
It was O'Toole, 53, who came up with a pumpkin roll for our challenge. Made with a spiced pumpkin batter in a jelly roll pan, it is filled with a sweetened cream cheese and butter mixture.

COLUMBUS — An appeal filed on Tuesday could have a major impact on the results of the November election in the State of Ohio.
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted announced Tuesday that he will ask the U.S. Supreme Court to make the final determination on whether the General Assembly of the State of Ohio or the federal courts should set Ohio election laws.
A ruling on Friday by the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals in Obama v. Husted reinstated the final three days of early voting prior to the November 6 general election.
"This is an unprecedented intrusion by the federal courts into how states run elections, and because of its impact on all 50 states as to who and how elections will be run in America, we are asking the Supreme Court to step in and allow Ohioans to run Ohio elections," said Husted.
A statement released Tuesday afternoon by Obama for America General Counsel Bob Bauer states, "there is no justification for the state's arbitrary actions this year in trying to deny the vast majority of its voters access to open polling places for the last three days before the election. This has been the unanimous conclusion of the courts that have considered this case.
"The Secretary of State has now chosen to extend the litigation and to ask the United States Supreme Court to intervene just four weeks before the election. We have no reason to believe that he will meet with any more success now than before," Bauer said. It is a shame that the Secretary would not have committed his office's energy instead to implementing the outstanding court orders and administering the orderly and effective early voting process that has served Ohio voters so well since 2005."
A directive issued in August by the Secretary of State's Office determined that early voting in the state of Ohio would end on November 2 — three days prior to the general election.
The directive set uniform days and hours for early voting (absentee voting in person) to take place in Ohio.
"Today I am leveling the playing field on voting days and hours during the absentee voting period in each of the 88 counties — rural, urban and suburban. All Ohio voters will have the same amount of time — 23 days or 230 hours — to vote in person prior to Election Day. And let's not forget that we still have Election Day, when polls will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.," said Husted in August.
Since that time a court case has been filed to allow early voting until the day of the election.
President Barack Obama's campaign and Democrats had sued Husted and Ohio's attorney general over part of a law cutting off early voting for most residents on the Friday evening before a Tuesday election. The law makes an exception for military personnel and Ohio voters living overseas.
A decision on Friday by the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated the final three days of early voting in Ohio.
The 6th Circuit decision affirmed a lower court ruling from August. U.S. District Judge Peter Economus said he expected Husted to direct all county elections boards to maintain a specific, consistent schedule on the three final days before Election Day.
Democrats had argued everyone should have the chance to vote on those three days before the election. They said a series of changes by state lawmakers had arbitrarily eliminated the opportunity for most Ohio residents to vote in person on those days, while giving military or overseas voters the chance to do so.
Attorneys for the state said many laws already grant military personnel special voting accommodations, such as requirements for states to send absentee ballots to them 45 days before the election. And they contend local boards also need those three days to prepare for the election.
But Economus said the voters' right to cast ballots in person on those days outweighs the state's reasons for limiting that opportunity.
The judge issued a preliminary injunction on Aug. 31, concluding that the state's law was unconstitutional in changing the in-person early voting deadline and that the state was wrongly valuing certain votes above others.
Before the changes to the law, local boards of elections previously set early voting hours on those three final days. And weekday hours and weekend voting varied among the state's counties.
"While I will be asking the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold Ohio law through the appeals process, the last thing I want to see is a non-uniform system where voters will be treated differently in all 88 counties," said Husted.
"Since some boards of elections have already started to take action on hours of operation for the three days before Election Day, I am going to take time to consult with all 88 counties before crafting a directive to set uniform hours should the state not be successful upon appeal."
The Ohio Secretary of State's website currently lists the following times for early voting: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 10-Friday, Oct. 12 and Monday, Oct. 15-Friday, Oct. 19; 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday, Oct. 22-Friday, Oct. 26 and Monday, Oct. 19-Thursday, Nov. 1; and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Friday, Nov. 2. Early is available at the county board of elections office during these times.

Now I've read this the other day on the spout forums (don't even know how I came there, because I'm not using spout) And I read this: @ http://forums.spout.org/threads/spout-the-same-chapter.1495/ Now what about this? I personnaly think that they are upset because bukkit works together now with mojang and they try to convince players to use their server software. (And as far as I know, that isn't even ready) What do you guys know about it (I always thought spout was a plugin, not a server software package for MC =) greetz Zip
Well Spout is just like Bukkit, but they wanted to add more features to the actual game plus add GUIs. I think that is it. We all knew this was coming. Mojang talked modding API within the first year Minecraft was out. It was natural to select the Bukkit team because for a few reasons, the plugins seems more for server admins and the way the team handle moving away for hmod. It all makes sense to me. I don't think the Spout team is worried or angry after all they were both coding a mod for a $15 sandbox game. Although only one team is going to make some money in the end.
The whole thing is just childish and silly. Spout has been taking cheap shots at Bukkit for as long as they've been operational. Some of it is constructive, the rest is just petty. It's mostly a case of the pot calling the kettle black. They go out of their way to take a shot at Bukkit at every chance they get, legitimate or not. For a group that "doesn't want to fragment the community" and wants "everyone to work together" they sure have a lot of anger going around. On a related note, the same can be said for CanaryMod, except they're just less diplomatic about it. Now that bunch really flips tables by the dozens whenever Bukkit is mentioned anywhere. I could say something like "can't we all get along?", but I'd be lying. Personally I find it quite amusing watching all these communities getting their panties in a twist. They've got a holy war to fight and I'm thinking about getting a season viewers pass.
Actually they are just stating the obvious. Bukkit is going to die. Soon. This is why I'm stopping my server. All plugins are going to be in complete disarray. Plugins will have to be completely rewritten. For plugins such a Towny, that are huge, are not going to be around at the start of API development. This is a complete nightmare for server owners.
I know how you think, plugins broken, server down. Now think about it like this: bukkit works with mojang now. Bukkit is (I think) more expierienced with the multiplayer side than mojang. Mojang however is more expierience with the singleplayer side AND they've written the code. What does that means you think for the future? less bugs, faster releases of craftbukkit and full compatibility. Yes, plugins is an issue. But that ain't mojang/bukkit's fault. It's because plugin developers have some other things to do than coding all the time. They do it free, without any payment except donations. Have you ever donated to your favorite plugin dev'ers? You'll have to same issue if you go to spout or another server mod. I know it is frustrating, but atm I have a vanilla server because my plugins are broken, and it's pretty fun =) So maybe you shouldn't think of stopping, but see it as an improvement for the future =) zip
Doesn't really change the way they go about it or the severity regarding it. They're comparing it to the hMod transition where the mod died before a suitable replacement was made. I'd have a ton more respect for Spout if they went about their business differently. While partially factual, their arguments are also heavily skewed, as they always have (especially other claims they make in the comments of that thread and on their forums in general). They're misrepresenting the situation and the transition period. Especially regarding the limited amount of information that is available as well as the long time frame we're looking at. Yet Spout does the best they can to spin this off as an immediate danger, spreading needless fear among users as they push their agenda. There might even be a Bukkit compatibility layer, but they're completely disregarding this possibility, as they disregard many other possibilities that don't fit their agenda. Spout seems to believe they need to fight a PR war, topics like quoted in the OP is the result of this.
But how is it much different? Bukkit will become obsolete because of the conflict of interests between the team, they want to work on the Minecraft API and put Bukkit behind them. Sorry what claims are skewed? Links are provided to credible sources, the only thing that is skewed are the people attacking Spout for "attacking" Bukkit who are obviously uneducated about the situation. Anyone with common sense could deduct that the API will take months to complete or even get to a production level. Being a closed source project, the team cannot use any Bukkit code because it's licensed under GPL. Wha? It's addressed that there could be a compatibility layer, but it is unlikely, which is the truth. The truth is, the hiring of the Bukkit team means nothing for Spout, unlike Bukkit, Spout doesn't end with Minecraft, it's not meant to be a Minecraft server but rather a voxel-platform for other games that could be implemented with it in the future. The Vanilla plugin for Spout is what provides Minecraft functionality to Spout. It even goes further then that, the SpoutClient project will extend this by allowing developers to even make their own games, and who knows what is to come after Spout from SpoutDev?
That's a very nice idea of course, but than (in my opinion) I think they shouldn't use minecraft as a start. They use an existing game now to make their code, so that means all "new" games that work with spout will look a lot like MC... if they really wanted to create a platform for many games, why do they focus on MC and why do they post (see quote in my first post) such rage announcements against bukkit? I personnaly don't think bukkit will stop, it's closed source now indeed, so maybe if the team can't keep up, they will make it open source? I just think the whole spout idea is very blunty and only focussed on one aspect of the whole project, bukkit and MC. Anyways, that's my opinion, we can all have a different =) zip
There's a non-trivial quantity of code in Bukkit that simply cannot be included in any new Mojang API, because it's GPL'd, and written by contributors other than the core dev team who've been hired by Mojang. This means that the new API will not be Bukkit. It might look somewhat like Bukkit, but it won't be Bukkit. So plugin devs will need to learn a new API. Our plugins will need some portation work. What does this means for plugin devs like me? Depends on a few factors: How soon will the new Mojang API be released? We don't know that yet, a few months I guess. How soon will Spout be stable enough to use as a general Minecraft server, with all the functionality that Bukkit has today? We don't know that yet, a few months I guess. What compatibility measures will be in place to allow current plugins to run? Both Mojang/Spout have stated there will be some, but we don't how good either layer will be yet. How will the two new API's stack up against each other technically, both in ease of use and power? My feeling right now is that Spout will be a lot more powerful (it should be possible to do much more in terms of entity control and custom block & entity creation, for example), but perhaps Mojang will pleasantly surprise us. What will uptake of the two servers be like? Even if Spout is ten times better technically, that will mean little of only 1% of server admins actually decide to use it. There is a lot of vitriol been flung around at the moment, but most of it is from a fairly vocal minority on both sides. I don't speak for anyone else, but I suspect there is a larger majority of devs (like me) who are just watching unfolding events with interest, and waiting to decide which API to work against. I'm not writing either off at this point.
Yes, absolutely. The apparent sense of panic is really hard for me to understand. I just play on a temporary survival map to scratch my Minecraft itch until things settle out. What's the big deal?
I honestly think those things Spout writes about Bukkit are totally immature. They could have at least congratulated the bukkit team. Look at my comments on page 36 on the thread if you want. For a project that serious, it's not good to have a rage post sticked to the front door. If I was new to this stuff, I'd go to their page and immediately think "Oh well, these guys aren't nice" and close the page without getting information on how awesome the Spout Project actually is (it is, really). Afforess seems to be an aggressive and easily-offended guy. Edit.: I actually think that the transition to the official API won't be that bad. They surely will provide at least something like a compatibility layer.
The "big deal" is the updating for server admins, I guess. It's easy normally, but when there's a plugin- breaking update, it becomes a pain in the ass.
Really, I think you are reading into it way to much. No where is @Afforess "raging" about Bukkit, and what's immature about it specifically? He's just telling the truth and putting it bluntly. Would you rather Spout dance around the elephant in the room, or actually voice their opinion like they did?
I think half the reason the Spout people are so mad is because they were trying to make a real competitor to Bukkit, one born out of anger as well it seems, and now whatever Bukkit turns into is going to be *the* standard, likely relegating Spout to forever being a small niche community (like Tekkit). And I understand why that hurts, but the public flaming was a huge turnoff to me as well. No grace whatsoever. I would have considered using it before that, but not now. In any case, both forum threads were totally overblown. Most people didn't even know what happened and never will. Nor do they need to...
I doubt that there will be MONTHS of downtime. I'm sure there will be some downtime, but it'll be worth it in the long-run. I ain't worried at all.
Have you read any of this thread? You are very misinformed, the only reason Spout started as a standalone server is because they were limited by CraftBukkit and didn't like the bleeding system, please tell me how that is hate.... You also clearly didn't read the post or over-read the post because there was nothing angry about it.
I read well more than both of those original OPs, including many pages of comments by proponents on both sides. I've also read past posts, arguing about all manner of things (like open source licensing). My opinion as stated is my own and I stand by it. I respect your love of Spout, I'm just not going to be there with you
He's thinking of the worst that could happen and plays as if he knows what will happen. After all, we're all just speculating about the API and the transformation progress. I think it's immature of Spout to insult and make fun of bukkit all the time. That shouldn't happen. Bukkit doesn't do it, either. Thanks for tagging in Afforess by the way, let's see what he says about this.
@efstajas @Tanite @Windwaker first of all, know that we can all have another opinion, respect eachother's please. Now for the bukkit vs spout thing, I'm not that familliar with both the projects, I've been hosting a server with bukkit for over a year now, never cared about API's, as long as my server and plugins worked. So that broke since 1.2 xD (it's getting fixed though, most of the plugins are 1.2 updated now) But remember most of bukkit/spout admins do not care about the project, they want a server and they think bukkit or spout is an easy way to host it, without caring about the background coding. Who can blame them? As long as you don't develop plugins, who cares about how things work? Seconc thing to keep in mind: part of the bukkit teams works now for mojang, and people think (such as mr. spout I quoted in my first post) bukkit will die soon. Bukkit has a huge community! it has lot's and lot's of plugin developers, and even more users of it. So why do people think the team will let this project fall and start working on new things and ignoring bukkit? I can only see this as an advantage bukkit works for mojang now. We will get better, less buggy code. The reason I started this post was because I was chocked by the way an important spout guy offends bukkit. (I don't know him though, it was "first impression of spout forum"). Ok, it are two "rivals" having the same (not really) goals. But imo you should always be respectfull to eachother, if not, people like me and @efstajas will read it and think "what? is this the leader of spout? no thanks!" I was honestly considering to go to spout in the future, because of the many possibilities. Now I see this guy, I don't want to. Not because I think it's a bad project, but because that guy is the leader of their community (or not? Like I said, I don't know him, but considering the fact he posts announcements, he must have a big role in the spout project) and he doesn't act very professional.. Of course I understand if people don't agree, but don't rage =) zip
Thank you for your post, I no longer feel like the only one to be deceived reading such negative bashing and reactions against other people or projects. As a recent and therefore newcomer to Minecraft server administration, whatever API I use, I have been pretty shocked by the projects's attitude, especially between Spout and Bukkit, and I do not understand all this huge negative fuss. I have been essentially deceived by Spout members (mainly Affores) attacking Bukkit and some of it's members. This is not a proof of serious and maturity and I have been strongly discouraged by testing Spout reading such flamewar articles and posts. I hope the Bukkit community has a more adult behavior and Spout's will improve. FOSS does not excuse this kind of attitude. And I don't want to use or donate for a project that has such a bad behavior towards other projects. Do BSD projects (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and DragonFly) behave like this? No. Instead, they share code when there are good ideas and focus on their projects to do a good job. They don't spend their time in pointless flamewars. Thankfully not all the Spout community members are like this. I do not know if there is this in the Bukkit community as well. But talking with a Spout plugin developer on their IRC showed one that was able to understand entirely my point of vue on this I explain here, although he does think EvilSeph is a liar (and here it goes again... why should I care?! I can't even check it and there is no element to support this!). But there are other people on Spout's side that do not stand this aggressive behavior. In other words, I have no idea on how the Bukkit project will continue. All I can say is that it seems still active and progressing nicely towards 1.2.3, and Spout project IS interesting despite the very deceiving attitude the project highlights. So, please avoid and sanction this kind of attitude that is extremely annoying. It is great to read constructive opinions and facts, but it is extremely annoying to read baseless speculations, trolling and accusations especially when pointing at another similar project. My two cents...
Maybe it's time for devs to start writing their own API's that they can implement in whatever "subset" of minecraft they happen to be running on?
Surely let us not think all spout members are rage-looking creatures. And pretty sure that they have a lot of good and nice dev'ers. The only problem is that one person "represents" the whole project of spout (one person could be a team ofcourse, like I already stated, I'm not familiar with the spout community). But that one person represents the whole project. That's sad about it.. @codename_B API by dev's? hmm I don't think that'll work out.. or at least not in the near future. Maybe once we know what bukkit will give us after a few months mojang, yes, people could start buidling their own API, but surely not yet, let's just wait in patience and see what bukkit does =) Zip
What I mean is like keeping common classes like data serialisation, database methods, and api seperate to the implementation so that api can be re-used meaning less code-changes for devs in the end! Take a look here for an example https://github.com/codename-B/bPermissions/tree/master/src/de/bananaco/bpermissions
Yea I've only started with this API two days ago xD haven't managed to do anything but creating a flat world xD I'm sure you know what you're doing so I'll let that topic be for the master dev'rs in stead of me xD
As a server owner I don't have any major opinions on the API my mods run. What I do look at is the number of availible mods and the number of active members. What I have seen over time is this; Vanilla: decent userbase but a large number of mods conflict Bukkit: decent userbase with few conflicting mods, easy to work with Canary: small userbase and few mods Spout Server: Far from ready but has some intresting goals Vanilla + new modding API: Far from ready I think it is premature to make judgments regrading the "winner" of two pieces of software when neither is ready use. I love the fact that Spout is working on a multithreaded app from the start as that seems to be one of the biggest limitations with the server software. I like the way they are structuring things and the state of the spout logs are very informative but at this time the software is still an alpha build. I tried out a build a few weeks back, it didn't have the ability to save the world. There was plenty of other things missing\unfinished but if it doesn't save the world what else matters. In a year they could have a server software package that you are a fool not to use or the group could be screwing around working out problems vanilla fixed ages ago or they may have broken up due to personal issues. In a year the new vanilla modding API could be powerful, easy to use and have a great following. In a year it could be a really "cute" way to bind a new Bukkit equivalent to a vanilla server and nothing in the end will have really changed. At this point though we don't have any solid information, Spout says they will be all that and the bag of chips as does Mojang. I know I wont be making any decisions for some time. Heck they may both turn out to be everything they say they will be and I expect to go with the one with the bigger community with more mods simply because support and mod selection will be better. This also doesn't take into mind that (unless I'm mistaken) Bukkit, being open source could conceivably be taken over by a new group of people and continued. Just because Dinnerbone and the others may be too busy with their new job to give Bukkit the massive amounts of time it needs doesn't mean a new group can't continue it. With the removal of depreciated code it would be easier for a new group too. Just my 2 gold nuggets on the subject.
I like how nobody asks me my opinion and just ascribes emotions to me. From afar I probably appear a troll because I'd rather state the unfiltered truth and burn at the stake for it. The truth is often inconvenient. But if you have specific questions I'd be happy to answer them.

Verification Academy: Up Close & Personal
Live & In-Person at DAC 2012!
Verification Academy, the brain child of Harry Foster, Chief Verification Scientist at Mentor Graphics, was live from the Design Automation Conference tradeshow floor this year. Harry is pictured to the right giving an update on his popular verification survey from the DAC tradeshow floor.
The Verification Academy, predominantly a web-based resource is a popular site for verification information with more than 11,000 registered members for forum access on topics ranging from OVM/UVM, SystemVerilog and Analog/Mixed-Signal design. The popular OVM/UVM Cookbook, which used to be available as a print edition, is now a live online resource there as well. A whole host of educational modules and seminars can also be found there too.
If you know about the Verification Academy, you know all about the content mentioned above and that there is much more to be found there. For those who don't know as much about it, Harry took a break from the being at the Verification Academy booth at DAC to discuss the Verification Academy with Luke Collins, Technology Journalist, Tech Design Forum. (Flash is required to watch Harry discuss Verification Academy with Luke.)
The Verification Academy at DAC was a great venue to connect in person with other Verification Academy users to discuss standards, methodologies, flows and other industry trends. Each hour there were short presentations by Verification Academy members that proved to be a popular way to start some interesting conversations. While we realize not all Verification Academy members were able to attend DAC in person, we know many have expressed an interest to some of the presentations. Verification Academy "Total Access" members now have access to many of the presentations.

The End of Intersection Construction Good News for Drivers, Businesses
By: BCHP News Staff
Updated: February 4, 2013
The intersection of South 7 and Leggett was closed in mid January in order to repave the road.
The interaction caused some frustration for drivers who were being re-routed around.
The construction also caused some issues for local businesses as many drivers chose to use their parking lots as a way to avoid the detour.
