V Festival - or the Virgin Media Festival to give it its correct title - may be the least favoured of its kind as far as music connoisseurs are concerned. A quick flick through the line-up doesn't exactly set pulses racing, as bland non-entities like The Script and Paolo Nutini rub shoulders with has-beens whose sell-by date expired over a decade ago (Ocean Colour Scene, Happy Mondays). However, cast all snobbery to one side for two days and delve a little deeper into the mixing pot and there are actually several gems to be found along with moments of real inspiration here.
If Latitude is the epitome of middle class utopia, then V Festival is undoubtedly the post-millennium equivalent of a working class family day out at the seaside. Certainly in and around the arena and various campsites there is an ultra-friendly vibe that transcends the image this shebang has attained since it first began over a decade ago. Add the fact you're more likely to see members of the Hollyoaks cast and Nationwide League footballers than one of The Bad Seeds or J Mascis and its as far removed from ATP as is humanly possible; hell, even DiS finds itself mistaken for bit-part actors (!) and Johnny Knoxville on more than one occasion. Situated on multiple sites - Hylands Park in Chelmsford and Weston Park in the Staffordshire countryside - where the acts perform on alternate days, DiS found V Festival on the whole to be a fairly pleasant experience.
Of course, the main reason we were here was for the music, and below is a selection of the highs and lows yours truly experienced over the course of the weekend. Oh, and did we mention that the rain managed to stay away for the entire duration of the Festival too...
Dizzee Rascal
Say what you like about the overall line-up of V Festival, but sometimes, a performance at an event such as this can define and maintain the vibe of the entire weekend. Step forward if you will Dizzee Rascal. It's fair to say that having never really been a fan of his recorded output, the set was approached with a heap of indecisive trepidation. Nevertheless, a little persuasion from a few old friends scattered around the crowd coupled with rave reviews emanating from the previous day's performance at V's sister event in Chelmsford meant DiS found itself literally in the mix, and do you know what, it was possibly the most enjoyably insane hour we've experienced in a field all summer. 'Just A Rascal', 'Fix Up, Look Sharp' and an incongruous cover of M.I.A.'s 'Paper Planes' come and go with rapid assertion, while the set closing 'Bonkers' unified an entire field of pop fans, hip hoppers, rockers and just about any casual observer walking past the Channel 4 Stage during Rascal's Sunday teatime slot. So much so in fact that you had to feel sorry for any other artist expected to compete with this on one of the other stages such as Lily Allen, who DiS is later informed actually drew one of the smallest crowds of the day, such was the Dizzee man's impact. Whether or not this cynic is converted into purchasing his records only time will tell, but as a live performer there really isn't anyone else around like him at present. Go. see. ASAP.
"They clash with Oasis" screams a girl behind me in the queue for The Arena before scarpering hastily for the exit, leaving yours truly and those unconcerned by the prospect of the Gallagher brothers annual will they/won't they show up facade with a clear path to the front of the stage. Even though the tabloid headlines some 48 hours later will no doubt reflect on the implosion of Oasis, we are in no doubt that we made the right choice as this was the moment MGMT came alive as one of the most infectious live acts around at present. The Oracular Spectacular material that received mixed responses this time last year sounds huge this evening, and a pounding 'Electric Feel' coupled with 'The Youth''s feel-good demeanour and 'Time To Pretend''s general pervasiveness causes a pandemonium that someone remarks as being akin to being taken back in time to one of those free love festivals your folks keep banging on about from the 1960s. Hallucinogenics and Amyl Nitrate is offered and passed along from stranger to stranger, friendships are formed, and a general feeling of harmony engulfs the tent. Of the new material aired this evening, 'Song For Dan Treacy' and 'Its Working' both demonstrated a more psychedelic, mid-period Beach Boys sound than previously associated with the band, while revitalised former b-side 'Destrokk' is fast becoming their show-stopping 'Sea Within A Sea' moment. All in all, MGMT proved themselves to be something of a revelation this evening. Cynics beware...
Slow Club
This year's award for most out of place band on a festival line-up must surely go to Sheffield duo Slow Club. Amidst their more radio and glossy magazine friendly compatriots, their decidedly twee repertoire was always going to divide those who made the effort to see their half hour set in the Strongbow Tent on Sunday afternoon. That they managed to conquer those blissfully unaware of their existence some thirty minutes previous was something of an achievement in itself, the likes of 'Because We're Dead' and 'Let's Fall Back In Love' proving particularly popular with the ever-more enthusiastic crowd. Feeling quite smug that one of "our" bands had won over a reputedly set-in-its-ways audience such as V, DiS duly returns to the great outdoors with a smile on its face and a spring in its step.
Exit Calm
Fellow South Yorkshire dwellers, Barnsley four-piece Exit Calm would also be candidates for the previous award if they hadn't managed to run away with the title of unluckiest band of the weekend instead. Forced to go onstage just as many revellers were still awaking from their heavy Saturday night induced slumber, Exit Calm find their set reduced to just twenty minutes, meaning they only have time to play four songs. Nevertheless, the swooping harmonics of 'We're On Our Own' and pulsating rhythm of 'Hearts And Minds' coupled with 'You've Got It All Wrong''s dissipated bass echo also make them the loudest, most blissed out outfit we witness all weekend, which is just what we expect from the strangely still-unsigned ethereal shoegazers.
The Specials
Perhaps the most anticipated set of the weekend, certainly for yours truly who was just that little bit too young to catch them first time round, The Specials play a greatest hits set and more packed with classic selections from both albums that lyrically at least, sound as relevant today as they did almost thirty years ago. 'Rat Race' and 'Man At C&A' are immense, both in Terry Hall and Neville Staples vocal delivery and the frantic musicianship that accompanies them while 'Ghost Town' proves to be one of the most movingly epic singalongs of the whole weekend, and a startling reminder that their creators' prophetic musings proved disparagingly real.
Katy Perry / Lady GaGa
We've chosen to combine these two pop princesses/divas/jokes (delete as appropriate) as A) after serious consideration, we arrive at the conclusion they're pretty much one and the same; and B) neither deserves their own paragraph after the performances we witnessed this weekend. Let's start with Ms Perry. Sure, that tight top and those hot pants have most of the males drooling, but her musically bland and vocally inept attempts at rock and roll controversy seem fake and contrived, even down to her ridiculous posing with the Les Paul copy strapped around her neck but unplugged and unplayed for the most part of her set. Drab, uninteresting and decidedly unentertaining, she could just about be one of the worst live performers DiS has ever set eyes on if it weren't for the dreadful, overblown "performance" we endure some four hours later. Ah yes, Lady GaGa. Its like when people say they watch the X Factor or Big Brother - car crash TV where the victims fail so spectacularly. Well I guess there's no other reason why DiS is here this evening, and yet despite it being a largely irrelevant show, we're left even more disappointed than when we hear 'Pokerface' booming out from the radio for the umpteenth time. In true diva style, she keeps us waiting for a full twenty minutes, then treats us to an intro that is basically a five-minute promotional video of her aural and visual delights, before finally treating us to a song or three that could just as easily be karaoke, lip-synched versions of "the hits". Here today, GaGaGone tomorrow. We wish.
Two Door Cinema Club
Again something of an anomaly here, Irish three-piece Two Door Cinema Club's angular post-punk pop proves to be quite a revelation, not least due to the sight of many a forty-something moshing along quite insanely like its 1979 all over again. 'Something Good Can Work' and 'What You Know' stand out energetically, while set closer 'Undercover Martyn' sounds like Foals giving (re)birth to Refused such is its enthusiastically danceable sub-metal discordance. The only criticism DiS can ask is when are TDCC going to get themselves a live drummer, but until such times their DAT-assisted funk driven melodies prove the perfect kickstart to the weekend's festivities.
The Human League
Having created possibly the most perfect pop album of the 1980s, it would be rude not to participate in The Human League's all-singing, all-dancing early Saturday evening slot in The Arena, even if that means giving Guy Garvey and co a wide berth for the second time in forty-eight hours. As greatest hits sets go, theirs is up there with the best of them, 'Love Action' and 'Open Your Heart' defining the likes of Ladytron and Miss Kittin's careers in entirely five minutes flat, while the closing triple whammy of 'Keep Feeling Fascination', 'Together In Electric Dreams' and 'Don't You Want Me' just about take the roof off. Retrospective nostalgia never sounded so uplifting.
The Killers
Much derided they may be, and in a lot of cases it has to be said, rightly so. However, whatever your take on Brandon Flowers and co's recorded output, and let's be brutally honest here, Hot Fuss apart, how many of you have ever actually managed to get through a Killers album from start to finish without pressing the STOP button at some point? Exactly. Its perhaps no surprise then that tonight's show feels like a game of two halves. The opening segment, which contains material largely culled from Sam's Town and Day & Age respectively, proves somewhat forgettable, so much so that DiS is on clockwatch, fully intent to give them one more song before disappearing elsewhere. Thankfully, it turns out to be a wise move as 'Somebody Told Me' leads the way into hitsville heaven culminating in a grandiose finale of 'Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine' and 'When You Were Young'. Call them what you like, but on top of their game as they were during the latter half of tonight's set, The Killers are still capable of exciting an audience. DiS is excited at the end too when two females approach and ask for a photograph, until we disappoint them by revealing we haven't ever appeared in Coronation Street, honest.
And so another V Festival draws to a close, and alongside those we've already mentioned other memorable moments include poor old Natalie Imbruglia's battle with the sound at the start of her set causing a mix of emotions ranging from laughter to anger and sympathy both on and off stage, and Johnny Borrell's slightly embarrassing Bonoisms during Razorlight's tedious performance.
Minor criticisms aside (everything, and I mean EVERYTHING closing down at 1130 on the final night, two mile walks to the main arena and several less than helpful stewards), V really isn't as bad as many commentators make it out to be. A little bit more underground diversity when it comes to booking next year's line-up and several more doubters could be converted. Bravo!

Jenni Kayne Runway 2012 Fall
Jenni Kayne Fall 2012
Jenni Kayne Fall 2012
>> Jenni Kayne's ability to tap effortless elegance was in full effect earlier this afternoon at New York's Chatwal Hotel. The designer was inspired by the English countryside — and particularly men's hunting clothes — for Fall 2012, and the result was a polished assortment of Kayne signatures with just a hint of aristocracy. Outsize coats were cut in lurex houndstooth, willowy dresses were done in poppy autumnal prints, and — for that unexpected jolt of cool — there were knits and trousers in crisp citron hues. Also of note were the highly covetable accessories: two-tone sunnies, shiny loafers, and perky fur trapper hats.

(Stockpickr) -- At Stockpickr, we track daily portfolios of stocks that are hitting new 52-week highs and 52-week lows.When you see a stock that's hitting new 52-week highs it often means that the uptrend is very strong and the buyers are in full control (and the opposite for stocks setting new 52-week lows), and momentum traders often look at the 52-week high lists to find new trading ideas.

Slewor Guru THE EXPLOSIVE ELITE Friday 28/05/2010, 13:51
@geov7: If you don't like loosing due to randomness, why don't you just play in non-random
MK_Ultra Titan Friday 28/05/2010, 15:02
I'm not positive about this, but here is my theory: you weren't playing a non-random game, even though you were in a non-random room (crazy, I know). You can set your game type preferences in your profile so that you only play one game type or another. If your opponent has set his preference to play only normal games, then even in a "no-random" room you might end up playing a match that is in normal mode. The way to avoid this (if you hate random, like I do) is to change your own settings so that you only play non-random games. Go to you profile, click on the "Your Preferences" tab, and select "No Random" from the dropdown box at the bottom.

(from page 23 of this thread)
I've been studying "pressure ionization" in a different context (i.e., solar theory), and was encouraged to apply those principles to tectonics. The results have been very interesting. The basic idea is that under extreme pressure, all matter becomes positively charged. Put simplistically, electrons can only exist as free particles or in specific electron shells, and if the atoms are pushed too close together, the shells fail, liberating the electrons. In a closest-packed arrangement, the electrons are expelled altogether, and congregate just outside the ionized matter, attracted by the electric force to the ions, but unable to neutralize them because there isn't the room for electrons between the atoms. Hence the core of the Earth should be positively charged, while the crust should be negatively charged, as it is under a lot less pressure, and can absorb the excess electrons from below.

I'mma kick it to y'all frankly
So all you weak niggas can hate me
Jealous cause they know I'm the shit, like Mr. Hankey
Reintroducing Ras Kass, the waterproof
I'm too deep, you Too $hort
Standin' on two feet, drownin' in two feet, kapeesh?
I defy the feat by defecating on beat
Fuck how you feel
I've got an oral fixation with spitting liquefied razors
So ill that they cut through steel
So if my album ever sell 3 mil
I'm slashing every rapper with a deal
Every nigga with a video look like Seal
'Kiss From a Rose' - Not, more like a peck from Jada'
Even with a spectator
Ranked this nigga 45 in Blaze 50 greatest MCs
Good looking but I beg to differ, though
Body of evidence
My molecular structure based on the table of elements
I'm CmH4, NL3, IV3, PGe2, Rb4, PmS4, Br1, At5
I'm complex with curriculums combined
A next level innovator with invigorating rhymes
Plus slightly thugged out, but revolutionary with minds
Spit my message with grime
Five years ahead of my time
Two thousand and five
I'mma be that nigga beatin' down traffic cops at stop signs
Now put that in your glass dick and smoke it
Who the dopest? if Ras spoke it, loc'est
The most focused wrote the opus, Nature of the Threat
Fost focus richest the bok'est could get it like
I'm sexually transmitted, bidditch
Yeah, yeah, Evil D make it ill for me, spit it
"Death on the phono, my skills are dolo
You say 'oh no', you bitch ass homo"
[Verse 2: Ras Kass]
It's that underground b-boy shit, just a beat and a rhyme
As simplified as a heat and a crime
True lyricists always get felt
Cause I rarely masturbate dog, but I always be feelin' myself
I rep' Golden State Warriors, I rep' The Horsemen
Get pissy drunk and forced to pray to porcelain
God, I'm worse than Cupid, stupid
Love is Lust, so my glands release hollow point endorphins
Bitch nigga, I'm mighty morphin' into a larson
Forcin' grown men into a forced a-dult abortion
Make it scorchin' hot to death then drop it arctic
So MCs shatter like glass next time a nigga sparks shit
Make sense, even if I don't make dollars
Asiatic ghetto scholar
Y'all grafted like seedless grapes and rottweilers
My hoochie bitches pop that pussy while my pimp niggas pop they collars
And pop stars- these the last days of disco
It's all about me-me-me-me-me
Cause I'm Mya with a big dick, though, you faggot like Sisqo
You thumbs down six feet like Ebert & Gene Siskel
I'm blessed with my Father's complexion and my Mother's features
I'm unique, different from all other creatures
I be rocking a black doo rag tellin pigeons youse a motherfuckin fool
And they be like 'you look like Ja Rule, but that's cool'
I guess all short, chocolate, chinky eyed niggas look alike, boo
Let the pen stroke, so the track have a heart attack
You blind, baby, give your cataracts cataracts
Matter of fact, face it, I'm just not the norm
More graphic than porn
I'm like eye witnessin' a matador get his rib cage crushed
Lung pulled by a raging bull's horn, I put it on like a uniform

Sears is famous for its catalog, which you can now browse online. The retailer was founded in 1886 by Richard Sears, who had been an agent of the Minneapolis and St. Louis railway station in North Redwood, Minnesota. He had lots of free time waiting for trains so began selling lumber and coal on the side. One day a local jeweler refused a shipment of watches, so Sears bought it and sold them to other station agents. That led him to create the R.W. Sears Watch Company in Minneapolis. The next year he moved the operation to Chicago and hired a watchmaker named Alvin Roebuck. Soon after, Sears, Roebuck and Co. was born. Today it has 2,400 stores around the country as well as its online catalog.

According to the Long Island Board of Realtors, existing home sales declined 21% in November but are still well above last year's pace by 16.9%. Some part of the drop in sales was likely due to delays caused by the government shutdown, which may affect December's sales figures as well. Even with the modest decline in sales from October to November, we have still seen 8 consecutive months of year-over-year increases – thanks to a dip in the level of inventory available for sale across Queens county. For now, inventory levels have allowed a continued advantage to sellers even moving into the winter months, which typically see lower prices than the rest of the year. However, buyers should pay attention to mortgage rates, as they continue to creep upward and eat away at affordability.

Nouvelair, a charter airline servicing routes between Tunisia and Western Europe, has announced its intention to list on the Tunisian stock exchange some time during 2002.
Ahead of the share flotation, Tuninvest, a local investment fund, took an 11 percent stake. Nouvelair. The Monastir-based charter carrier belongs to the Tunisian Travel Service (TTS) group, and is managed by the Tunisian tourism magnate Aziz Miled.
Doing more than two thirds of its business during the summer months, Nouvelair flies in tourists to Tunisian holiday resorts from France, Germany, the Scandinavian countries, Italy and the United Kingdom.
The company's decision to go public appears to be related to its ambitious growth plans. These include the building of new hangers, and the purchase of larger Airbus carriers to replace its aging fleet of McDonnell Douglas MD-80. In December 1999 it took delivery of first Airbus A320, and the second was delivered in spring 2000. — (Albawaba-MEBG)

NewtonStein, Editor;
Though we have done - and continue to seek the greatest accuracy, understanding, fullness of truth - both in the 'real-world' context,
... as our hearts, purposes, motives, and intents are open before God; believing we shall given a personal account of EVERY WORD ever written, we strive for as-close-as-possible-to-PERFECTION in knowledge and understanding with all information we attain;
At this particular time, however, we use precious "proof-reading time" - to get ever-more articles in AMERIPEDIA, BIBLIPEDIA, CHRISTIPEDIA, etc.... KNOWING we fall short on catching all the "typos" .... as we rush, short-handedly - to close the gap between CHRISTIPEDIA™ and WIKIPEDIA, from our total archives available now:

CHRISTIPEDIA™ MAKES NO GUARANTEE OF VALIDITY or ACCURACY of Information; USERS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN VERIFICATION:
By design and definition, no one knows who writes any particular article for CHRISTIPEDIA™ - except the author!
NASA chooses to remain anonymous to gain the greatest degree of true and free expression:

Homosexuality and the Bible
"Below are some Bible verses that condemn homosexuality: However, the bible cannot be interpreted literally,..."
We urge Conservapedia to change this position, and overall, Conservapedia is better than Wikipedia by a factor of 1,000!The Roman Catholic Founders - have open homosexuality in their immediate family, thus seek to justify some degree of acceptance contrary to the Word of God.

If no file is specified, the block usage of the hierarchy rooted in the current directory is displayed. The options are as follows: -H Symbolic links on the command line are followed. (Symbolic links encountered in the tree traversal are not followed.) -L All symbolic links are followed. -P No symbolic links are followed. -a Display an entry for each file in the file hierarchy. -c Display the grand total after all the arguments have been pro- cessed. -d Display an entry files and directories depth directories deep. -g If the -g flag is specified, the number displayed is the number of gigabyte (1024*1024*1024 bytes) blocks. -h If the -h flag is specified, the numbers will be displayed in "human-readable" format. Use unit suffixes: B (Byte), K (Kilo- byte), M (Megabyte), G (Gigabyte), T (Terabyte) and P (Petabyte). -k By default, du displays the number of blocks as returned by the stat(2) system call, i.e. 512-byte blocks. If the -k flag is specified, the number displayed is the number of kilobyte (1024 bytes) blocks. Partial numbers of blocks are rounded up. -m If the -m flag is specified, the number displayed is the number of megabyte (1024*1024 bytes) blocks. -n Ignore files and directories with user "nodump" flag (UF_NODUMP) set. -r Generate warning messages about directories that cannot be read. This is the default behaviour. -s Display only the grand total for the specified files. -x Filesystem mount points are not traversed. du counts the storage used by symbolic links and not the files they ref- erence unless the -H or -L option is specified. If either the -H or -L options are specified, storage used by any symbolic links which are fol- lowed is not counted or displayed. The -H, -L and -P options override each other and the command's actions are determined by the last one spec- ified. Files having multiple hard links are counted (and displayed) a single time per du execution. ENVIRONMENT BLOCKSIZE If the environment variable BLOCKSIZE is set, and the -g, -h, -k, and -m options are not specified, the block counts will be displayed in units of that size block.

Obama's newest ally: John McCain
President Barack Obama has an important new ally as emboldened Republicans work to derail his agenda: John McCain.
The shift is striking: The 2008 rivals never got along throughout Obama's first term in office. McCain has been Obama's chief tormentor on issues ranging from the budget to Benghazi, tartly saying in late 2010 that the two men had "no relationship."
Story Continued Below
Yet during one of Obama's toughest times as president, there was McCain, sitting down last week with him in the Oval Office for a private strategy session. At the urging of new White House chief of staff Denis McDonough, who has sought better ties with Republicans, Obama has had more substantive discussions with McCain in the past five months than he did in his first four years in office, according to associates of both men. Suddenly, the two are working together on issues ranging from immigration to the deficit.
"I'm getting nervous," said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), McCain's closest friend in the Senate. "I told Denis McDonough, 'I don't know what you've done: You've hijacked him.'"
( PHOTOS: Joe Biden and John McCain)
There are many reasons for the sudden détente, including the fact that both men share common ground on several big issues that could wind up defining their legacies. But it's unclear whether the Obama-McCain alliance can disrupt the gridlock in Washington given both men are viewed skeptically by many conservatives.
Still, the Arizona Republican can fill a leadership vacuum left by House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), whose relationship has soured with the president, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who is preparing for a potential primary challenge next year.
"Ever since the election, we've had conversations and phone calls," McCain told POLITICO in an interview. "And I think we share many agenda items that we can work on together, ranging from immigration reform, the prison in Guantánamo, to working perhaps on a grand bargain, security of our embassies and consulates. There are a bunch of issues that we share."
( Also on POLITICO: Dems hope scandals in rear-view mirror by '14)
Asked when he was next expected to meet with the president, McCain said: "I'd like to be over there every day to give him guidance."
Last month, McCain was one of just four Republicans to vote for the failed bill to expand gun background checks, a centerpiece of Obama's agenda. McCain is a chief architect of the Senate immigration bill supported strongly by the White House. He's expressed deep reservations about GOP threats to filibuster Obama's Cabinet-level nominees. He's slammed his fellow Republican senators for blocking Senate Democratic efforts to begin bicameral budget negotiations with the House. And he's even suggested new tax revenues could be part of a grand bargain.
( PHOTOS: President Obama and Hillary Clinton)
Behind the scenes, McCain now is leading an effort with about a dozen GOP senators to explore any way forward on a grand bargain deficit deal as they try to assemble an outline to trade with the White House, though chances of a deal still remain slim.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said "Americans in both parties" expect the kind of "bipartisan cooperation" shown by the two men.
"The president and Sen. McCain don't agree on everything, but they have been working hard to find common ground and build bipartisan support for progress on immigration reform and further reducing the deficit," Earnest said.

Happy new year, everyone! Howsabout a new episode? Ross and Carrie join Los Angeles' biggest dowsing group, a coterie of colorful characters who believe that metal rods and pendulums can help us tap into our inner wisdom to locate any item or substance. We fix our solar plexuses, ask a pendulum what drinks to drink, and use rods to find... running water? Plus, we get a special visit from Jesse Thorn, from Maximum Fun!

EDT:Debug Extensibility
If you are extending the EGL language or Java generator, you may find you need to also extend the Java-based debugger to improve the user experience. For example if you are adding a new Java class to represent an EGL type in the generated application, it will probably not look very nice in the Variables view (by default it will be displayed in the Java way, which might not match how it should be represented to an EGL user).
This document will cover the ways in which the debugger can be extended.
Java variable adapters
Plug-in to check out from Git: org.eclipse.edt.debug.core
If you wish to control how a Java variable is displayed in the Variables view, you will need to contribute a variable adapter to the EDT Java debug framework. This is done with Eclipse extension points. In your plug-in's manifest editor, add an extension for org.eclipse.edt.debug.core.javaVariableAdapters. Take a look at the schema for its definition at org.eclipse.edt.debug.core/schema/javaVariableAdapters.exsd. A reference implementation can be found in org.eclipse.edt.debug.core's plugin.xml file (see the corresponding class org.eclipse.edt.debug.internal.core.java.variables.EDTVariableAdapter).
Your contributed class will need to implement org.eclipse.edt.debug.core.java.variables.IVariableAdapter. Take a look at its source, as well as other relevant classes & interfaces, for Javadocs.
The basic idea behind a variable adapter is, given a Java variable (IJavaVariable), you first determine if it's a type you wish to adapt. If so, you then must return an IEGLJavaVariable that will correctly structure the Java variable. If the Java variable is not a type to be handled by your adapter, simply return null and the next registered adapter will be given a chance to adapt it. Note: first adapter to return a non-null variable wins, and the order of adapters being consulted is not guaranteed!
You may find several methods in org.eclipse.edt.debug.core.java.variables.VariableUtil to be useful. For example, VariableUtil.isInstanceOf() can tell you if a Java variable is of a particular type.
Since you're not working directly with the Java object instance, to execute any code on the variable you need to send messages to the separate Java process using API provided by Eclipse Java Development Tools (JDT). The format for the required information can be cumbersome and hard to determine, but VariableUtil.runSendMessage() should be used for all evaluations. Take a look at org.eclipse.edt.debug.internal.core.java.variables.MapVariable to see how a complex variable can be restructured.
Java type filters
Plug-in to check out from Git: org.eclipse.edt.debug.core
When the debugger is suspended, by default its stack will display all the frames for both Java and EGL. It's less confusing to the EGL programmer to hide the frames that are part of the underlying technology, and show just the frames that have to do with their code. When stepping through code, it's also very tedious to the user to step into our runtime classes (either from the EDT Java runtime, or JRE classes). To get past both these issues there is an extension for contributing type filters. These filters will prevent stepping into certain types, as well as hide the types from the debug stack display.
Filters are organized into various categories. Enabling a category will cause all its contained filters to be enabled. New categories can be defined, or you can add your filter to an existing category (if the category you specify does not exist, the filter will be ignored). Categories can be visible or invisible; when visible it will appear in the EDT Java debug preference page and the user can enable or disable the category; when invisible the user cannot toggle its enablement. When a filter is hit, the category's step type will determine how to proceed - the user can configure the visible filters in preferences to either perform a "step into" or a "step return". The "step return" will perform much better, but prevents you from stepping through the filtered class into a type that wouldn't be filtered.
The extension point for contributing filters and categories is org.eclipse.edt.debug.core.javaTypeFilters. Take a look at the schema for its definition at org.eclipse.edt.debug.core/schema/javaTypeFilters.exsd. Reference implementations can be found in org.eclipse.edt.debug.core's plugin.xml file (several categories and filters are contributed).
You can choose to have your filter class extend org.eclipse.edt.debug.core.java.filters.AbstractTypeFilter to take care of some common properties but it is not required. You can also choose to not write your own category class, in which case org.eclipse.edt.debug.internal.core.java.filters.DefaultTypeFilterCategory will be used. An example of writing your own category class can be found at org.eclipse.edt.debug.internal.core.java.filters.JDTStepFilterCategory; in this case it's a hidden category that determines whether "step into" or "step return" is used based on the JDT step filter setting, rather than coming from the extension in plugin.xml. In most cases you will not need to write your own category class.

News and Notes
• Sam Hornish Jr., driver of the Penske Racing No. 77 Mobil 1 Dodge Charger, will make his second NASCAR Sprint Cup Series start at Martinsville Speedway in the TUMS QuikPak 500 this Sunday. Earlier this season, Hornish secured a 28th place finish at the unique .526-mile oval.
• Hornish will make his NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series competition debut this weekend at Martinsville Speedway as driver of the No. 4 Penske Truck Rental Dodge in conjunction with Bobby Hamilton Racing. Chris Carrier will serve as crew chief for Hornish for this race.
• Hornish is currently ranked second in the 2008 Raybestos Rookie of the Year standings. He trails leader Regan Smith by only two points.
• Hornish and the No. 77 Mobil 1 team are currently 37th in the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series owner points standings, 143 points out of 35th place following the race at Lowe's Motor Speedway.
• Hornish made his animation and preschool television debut as the voice of the narrator in the new series Roary the Racing Car, which premiered on Sprout on Monday, October 13. The show follows the adventures of Roary™, a bright, loveable and energetic single-seat race car, and his amazing and diverse group of race car friends at the Silver Hatch race track.
Upcoming Events
10/19/08: Hornish will sign autographs at his souvenir trailer from 9:45 - 10:15 a.m. on Sunday.
10/30/08: Hornish will host the fourth annual Sam Hornish Jr. Celebrity Bowling Tournament during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race weekend at Texas Motor Speedway on October 30, 2008. Over the past three years, the tournament has raised $307,000 to benefit the Texas chapter of Speedway Children's Charities.
Chassis Chatter
PRS-563: The primary car for the Mobil 1 team this weekend was raced by Hornish this past September at Richmond International Raceway (finished 38th) and New Hampshire Motor Speedway (finished 30th).
PRS-562: The back up car for this weekend was last raced by Hornish at Dover in June, where he secured an 18th place finish.
Sam Hornish Jr. on Martinsville Speedway
"The biggest challenge of Martinsville Speedway is not overdriving and getting into the corners too deep. If you do that, then you give up a lot of time on corner exit. It's a Karate Kid approach to driving. You try to be fluid and avoid any sudden movements.
"This team has made substantial improvements to its short track program over the course of this season. I've heard that it's like a light switch at Martinsville when you finally understand the nuances of the track. It just clicks for you. I'm hoping that happens for us this weekend."
Crew Chief Travis Geisler on Martinsville Speedway
"Martinsville Speedway has certainly earned its reputation for tough short-track racing. The unique 'paper-clip' shape of the track poses challenges for both drivers and teams.
"The biggest challenge is being able to get the race car through the tight corners and then being able to accelerate down the drag strips that connect them. The Mobil 1 Dodge is ready for battle this weekend and our team is excited about getting back to one of NASCAR's most historic race tracks."

In a development that seemed to leave him as stunned as his critics, President Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for pledging to rid the world of nuclear weapons and his efforts to boost international diplomacy.
"To be honest, I do not feel that I deserve to be in the company of so many of the transformative figures who have won this prize," Obama said from the White House hours after the announcement from Norway. "I am both surprised and deeply humbled."
Obama was nominated just two weeks after taking office, and in accepting the award on behalf of "everyone who strives for justice and dignity," he acknowledged the award seemed to honor him more for his aspirations than for tangible accomplishments. The prize committee seemed to recognize as much.
"Only very rarely has a person to the same extent as Obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future," the committee said. "His diplomacy is founded in the concept that those who are to lead the world must do so on the basis of values and attitudes that are shared by the majority of the world's population."
"This is not how I expected to wake up this morning," Obama said, adding that he did not view it as a recognition of his own accomplishments, but as an "affirmation of American leadership."
Obama becomes just the fourth president or former president to win the award, after Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter, who won it in 2002. Former vice president Al Gore won the award in 2007. The prize is worth 10 million Swedish kronor, or about $1.4 million. Aides said Obama plans to donate the money to an unspecified charity.
Former Soviet Union premier Mikhail Gorbachev, also a Nobel Prize winner, said Obama was recognized for offering hope to a dangerous and divided world.
"I am happy," Gorbachev told Reuters. "What Obama did during his presidency is a big signal, he gave a hope. In these hard times people who are capable of taking responsibility, who have a vision, commitment and political will should be supported."
Other tributes have begun to pour in from world leaders. The chief Palestinian peace negotiator, Saeb Erekat and Afghan President Hamid Karzai praised the decision. An aide to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told AFP that he hoped Obama would "remove injustice in the world."
But not all reaction was so positive.
The Wall Street Journal's Iain Martin called the decision "completely bizarre," given Obama's nascent track record. "A leader can now win the peace prize for saying that he hopes to bring peace at some point in the future," Martin wrote. "He doesn't actually have to do it, he just has to have aspirations."
"Obama has a long way to go still and lots of work to do before he can deserve a reward," Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters. "Obama only made promises and did not contribute any substance to world peace. And he has not done anything to ensure justice for the sake of Arab and Muslim causes."
The militant group Islamic Jihad and a spokesman for the Taliban also reportedly condemned the choice.
Obama's name had been mentioned as a possible candidate but many Nobel watchers believed it was too early to award the prize to a president who less than nine months into his first term.
Instead, Obama topped a record list of 205 nominations to the Nobel committee to become the third sitting U.S. president to win the award. Roosevelt won in 1906 and Wilson in 1919. Carter won the award in 2002, long after serving in the White House, for work as a mediator on international conflicts. Gore shared the 2007 prize with the U.N. panel on climate change.
In April, Obama asked for international help to reduce nuclear weapons during a speech in Prague. He repeated the call during meetings last month at the U.N.
"Obama has as president created a new climate in international politics," the committee said. "Multilateral diplomacy has regained a central position, with emphasis on the role that the United Nations and other international institutions can play."

Cliff talks turn into public posturing
House Speaker John Boehner's decision to pursue a fiscal cliff backup plan looked like an attempt to go his own way.
But it was really about bolstering his position in the one-on-one talks with President Barack Obama.
Story Continued Below
Boehner is trying to strengthen his negotiating hand, give himself more legislative options, show his House Republican Conference that he is willing to play hardball and shift blame if they can't come to an agreement.
( Also on POLITICO: Graham: I'd take sequester over kicking the can)
All of this is part of a highly choreographed Washington play, and in the current act, Obama and Boehner are trying to prove themselves as the more reasonable party with tax rates, spending cuts and unemployment benefits hanging in the balance.
As negotiations behind closed doors slog on without any resolution in sight, both sides are orchestrating strategic leaks to the press and dashing to the House and Senate floor to try to show their colleagues — and the nation — that they're the ones that should be taken seriously.
( Also on POLITICO: 'Plan B' stalls in Senate)
House Republicans will go first. On Thursday, they will bring up the Senate Democrats' tax bill, which extends income rates for only the middle class. That Democratic bill will fail to win a majority, and House Republicans will then try to pass their own legislation extending current tax rates for all income under $1 million.
Yet it's unclear if that bill — Boehner has dubbed it "Plan B" when he announced the proposal on Tuesday — has the votes to pass. House Democrats might provide a few votes, sources said. House Republicans know that even if the bill passes the lower chamber, it is unlikely to become law.
But if a bill does emerge out of the House, Senate Democrats have their own strategy mapped out to quash Plan B. Call it "Plan C."
( Also on POLITICO: Corker: 'We're not close')
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) will take up Boehner's Plan B, and amend it with President Barack Obama's own offer, and see if Senate Republicans will provide the requisite votes to send it back to the House. A 60-vote margin is needed to clear any bill in the Senate, and the death of longtime Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-Hawaii) on Monday means Reid loses one potentially crucial supporter. Sen. Mark Kirk (R-Ill.), out since January after suffering a major stroke, will also miss the vote.
It's the Capitol Hill waltz, with a year-end deadline looming as the last dance.

Hdavis necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 370 diseños de 150 diseñadores freelance.
iGain (The logo should stand alone and but also work with a small.com as part of the logo)
iGain will be an online affiliate marketing company. We want the logo to be professional and modern and it has to represent trust. Advertisers and publisher who use iGain become our partners and we these so we want a logo that will be very appealing to everyone.
We think this is a great domain and we like the i with Gain. I want to send the message that when a person says or reads iGain or sees the logo they feel as if they will get something. I gain at iGain.
I want people to easily remember or recognize the logo.
The site will be for advertisers and publishers. This is a B2B site. However our target will be the smaller businesses and entrepreneurs.
We help businesses grow revenue. iGain is about making money but it is NOT a get rich type program.
iGain has to represent the following.
1. Ability to make money – affiliates will sign up at iGain to earn money and advertisers who use iGain will want grow revenue.
2. Honest – there is a lot of lack of trust in affiliate networks so our logo has to represent trust.
3. Professional – we have to portray a corporate/professional feeling. We can not have anything related to iGain feel light, whimsical or considered cute.
I am thinking of colors that represent the above attributes. My research shows Darker Green, Darker Blue and White. However I am open to consider other colors. I also like Blue and White, Silver, or Black or Green and White, Silver or Black
I like a darker green but not too dark. Too dark represents envy, too light represents nature – I would like to see a shade or green that represents money – but err on the darker side. The darker blue should be in the complement the darker green. White does not have to be in the logo but it needs to be the major element of the site. Less is going to be more in the iGain site design. I want to use a LOT of white space.
I also want to play on a "clear" theme. I want the logo to jump off a white background on a web page. I only want to see the logo on a pure white background. I want users to see the logo on a web page and want to touch it. I want them have to look at the logo twice and be blown away.
This will go on a site where less is more.

As McDonald's Struggles, Starbucks Makes a Move Into Burgertown
U.S. same-store sales were down again for McDonald's in May. The 1% dip comes on the heels of flat sales in April, which followed five straight months of declining comps for the company.
And if that weren't reason enough to worry, one of the Golden Arches' key competitors in the coffee and breakfast arena recently announced that through its La Boulange concept, it plans to start serving up the dish that made McDonald's famous: the hamburger.
The move was just the latest for Starbucks that looks to take a bite from the fast-food standard-bearer's bread-and-butter menu offerings. If McDonald's is starting to feel a little paranoid, watching over its shoulder for Howard Schultz and the Seattle-based coffee-shop chain, you couldn't blame the company.
Breakfast, drive-thoughs, and burgers
First, Starbucks made a move into breakfast, selling hot sandwiches that look a lot like upscale versions of the McMuffin line. Then, it announced plans to expand into lunch and dinner. And that comes at a time when it's made it very clear that drive-throughs are now a key part of its growth strategy moving forward.
Now there's word that Starbucks plans to start selling burgers. For now, it's only at one La Boulange restaurant opening in Los Angeles this month. But the reason this could be trouble for McDonald's is that it fits in with the larger trend of what's been happening in fast food here in the U.S. over the past several years.
While McDonald's continues to see growth outside the U.S., it's struggling in its home market. The reasons -- at least some of them -- seem apparent. Chains such as Starbucks, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Panera, and Dunkin' Brands' Dunkin' Donuts have been thriving.
Chipotle, for example, posted a phenomenal 13.4% same-store sales increase over the prior-year quarter reported in April. The average bill was up by just 2%, so that growth was driven primarily by more customers coming into each store.
McDonald's, meanwhile, is seeing customer traffic tail off.
Fast casual is the new fast food
While "fast casual" eateries like Chipotle, Panera, and Starbucks have been seen largely as something separate from fast food, what really seems to be going on here is a redefining of fast food in the U.S. Fast causal is really just better fast food, and customers are willing to pay up for fresher ingredients, a promise of healthier and more natural fare, and a less fast-foody atmosphere.
Traditional fast-food players like Wendy's have looked to make adjustments. The company is more than a year into plans to upgrade its menu with more premium offerings and to begin building stores that are more like modern, fast-casual restaurants.
McDonald's, too, has revealed that changes are on the horizon. The company plans new updated kitchen stations that will allow restaurants to offer a wider array of fresh ingredients and condiments so they can customize sandwiches to order.
But these moves are attempts to catch up with a trend that is already well under way. These changes -- and likely more that are yet to be made -- may well help stem some of the customer losses to fast-casual chains. But with players like Chipotle and Starbucks going great guns, the traditional fast-food players are likely in for more rough times ahead.
The Foolish bottom line
While same-store sales were positive worldwide, McDonald's continues to struggle in the U.S. The increasing expansion of Starbucks into food and the drive-through business isn't going to help the Golden Arches. Starbucks' move into burgers through La Boulange may just be in its infancy, but if customers in California find it to their liking, the one-time coffee-shop chain may end up taking a bite out of McDonald's Big Mac business, as well.
