Restaurant Review
J.J.'s Pizza
It's all about the toppings
The problem with writing a review of a pizza joint is that pizza appreciation is a deeply personal thing. Sentimental factors will cloud the most sincere attempts at objectivity. For example, it is a fact that the best pizza in the world comes from Armando's Pizza, down the street from where I grew up in Cambridge, Mass. That's because when the subject of pizza comes up, many an eater's heart and belly return to the pizza joint of their home neighborhood, like a salmon swimming up the river of its birth.
Based on the strength of Alibi Chowtown reader requests, there are many who feel that the world's best pizza comes from J.J.'s on Menaul.
Some like deep dish pizza that's gooey with cheese. Some prefer chunks of feta. Some prefer a crust so thin it offers barely a crunch, while others want their crust made of spelt. To some, including many J.J.'s fans, the only acceptable piece of pizza is one with green chile on top.
The green-
It's spicy, meaty and doesn't for a single bite let you forget that you're in New Mexico.
I was brought back to bygone days by the bank of old-school video games at J.J.'s. Looks-wise, it's an unremarkable but clean pizza joint, with tomato-sauce-red booths and walls. J.J.'s isn't a place to go for the ambience, and that's OK. It's redeemed by free delivery, allowing you to eat it wherever you please.
Fans of sweetened pizza dough will probably enjoy the cinna-twists, thick breadsticks flavored with cinnamon and icing. Alas, when I ordered some as part of a take-out order, the staff may have been slightly more than half-baked. I had arrived five minutes late, and my pizza was ready—but the cinna-twists hadn't yet gone in the oven. On my suggestion, they put my pizza back in the oven to warm up a few minutes before the cinna-twists were ready.
J.J.'s Albuquerque turkey sub, with turkey and green chile, is a tasty sandwich with crispy pieces of lettuce that makes it light and just a bit watery inside—almost like a Vietnamese spring roll in sub form. But it could have used more of that chile.
My favorite pizza topping at J.J.'s is the barbecue beef, which is tender and smoky. The barbecue chicken is also good. Both pies comes topped with onions, and it's worth paying a little extra to have them sprinkle on the chile while they're at it. Vegetarians, meanwhile, won't feel forsaken. The spinach-garlic is tasty, though a little skimpy on the spinach. Best of all for non-meaters is the veggie combo, like a cheesy gazpacho on crust with olives, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions and bell peppers. It's just another example of how the toppings may be different here out West; but even Back East pizza snobs like me can see that J.J.'s use of them is creative and well-executed.

The PlayStation 4 has been so carefully designed that developers won't find a performance bottleneck, Michiel Van Der Leeuw, technical director at Guerrilla Games, has told Edge.
"The fact that the best pieces of hardware are also devised from, or optimised versions of, the stuff we find in PCs doesn't make it any less a console," Van Der Leeuw explained. "A PC is a number of parts that also [have] bridges in-between, where there are inefficiencies that may [come in if they're not] exactly the right match."
But with the PS4, Sony has - allegedly - been able to ensure these inefficiencies don't exist.
Van Der Leeuw continued: "We've got the right amount of memory, video card; everything's balanced out. It was a very conscious effort to make sure that - with the speed of the memory, the amount of compute units, the speed of the hard drive - there would not be any bottlenecks.
"I think it was for more than a year that we knew the main ingredients and there was just discussion after discussion trying to find a bottleneck. Take a look at this design; try to find the bottleneck."
PlayStation 4 is expected to launch later this year, with Killzone: Shadow Fall expected to be a launch title.
That's certainly a bold claim, and it's not likely we'll learn about the PS4's deficiencies - if indeed there are any - until developers start to get to grips with the hardware.

Chickens could 'power hydrogen cars'
Clucking brilliant!
Leccy Tech A team of university scientists have claimed that the future of automotive hydrogen storage lies in birds, or, to be precise – chickens.
The secret lies in chicken feathers, according to Dr Richard Wool, Professor of chemical engineering at the University of Delaware, and their ability to absorb high amounts of hydrogen when specially treated.
Now we're not chicken scientists, but Wool and his university research team reckon that their ongoing project has shown that heat treating chicken feathers causes a protein called keratin to form hollow carbon microtubes.
These tubes then increase the surface areas of the feathers, enabling them to absorb more H2.
The result is carbonised chicken feather fibres, which Wool has argued can absorb as much or perhaps even more H2 than carbon nanotubes or metal hydrides – two alternative H2 storage methods.
Naturally, we must take Wool on his word regarding the technical aspects of his chicken feather-based H2 storage technology. But he's also claimed that a chicken feather H2 storage tank would only add about £120 ($200/€142) to the price of a car.
By comparison, he said that producing a 20-gallon hydrogen fuel tank using metal hydrides would cost around £18,000 ($30,000/€21,300), while making one with carbon nanotubes would cost a dizzying £3.3m ($5.5m/€3.9m).
Wool's not out of the chicken coop yet, though. He's estimated that it would currently take a 75-gallon capacity chicken feather tank to power a car for around 300 miles.
This compares poorly with the Honda FCX Clarity, which can go for 270 miles on a far smaller tank, albeit one containing H2 compressed at 5000psi. ®

Recently, you've come across complaints from operators about a couple of drinking fountains in a production area. It turns out that similar complaints have been made for quite some time, but never resolved. The complaints range from a tingling sensation to a shock when taking a drink.
The complaint history doesn't show incidences of this problem in the summer months. The repair history repeatedly shows "unable to duplicate the problem."
The fountains have been swapped with ones where the problem hasn't been reported, and the problem stays in the original location. Maintenance has conducted insulation resistance tests on the branch circuit wiring five times, and the results show nothing to indicate impending failure.
One theory is the operators are trying to amuse themselves by reporting a problem that doesn't exist. Could another theory explain what's going on? If so, what would it be and how do you investigate it?
The most likely explanation is you have something grounded where it should be bonded.
Article 100 of the NEC defines "grounding" as "connecting to the earth" (or to a conductive body). Article 100 defines "bonding" as "connected to establish electrical continuity and conductivity."
Ground to dirt and bond to metal. On branch circuit equipment, you should be bonding instead of grounding. If you have this wrong, you get things like water fountain shocks. Bonding connects metallic parts electrically, preventing an accumulation of charge (potential) on any one part.
Some piece of equipment is building up a charge. Fountain operation completes a path (through the operator) that allows much of the charge to get back to the source (draw the circuit, apply Kirchhoff's Law).
In the summer, when people drink much more water, the frequent use of the fountain bleeds off enough charge to keep voltage below a threshold of detection via the skin. People are still conducting undesired current through their bodies; they just don't feel it.
Other fountains seem unaffected, which helps localize the culprit to something physically near those two fountains. Conduct a thorough bonding inspection, and you'll find it.

4 December 2006
Professor Pete Coffey – UCL Institute of Ophthalmology
The London Project to Cure Blindness aims to make the most of human embryonic stem cells to prevent blindness, restore sight, and improve quality of life in patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) within five years from the initiation of the programme (2007). Our goal is to replace cells essential for "seeing" lost by disease at the back of the eye. We aim to repair and regenerate the aged diseased eye using human embryonic stem cells which have been transformed into the cells affected in AMD: the support cells for the photoreceptors (retinal pigment epithelium) and the photoreceptors. The cells will be surgically implanted into a clinical population of AMD patients.

Critics: Swift arrest of NC officer in unarmed man's shooting death will have chilling effect
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Hours after a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer fatally shot an unarmed man, the department made a rare move: It charged the officer with voluntary manslaughter.
Most police departments, including Charlotte, usually take weeks or even months to complete an investigation of a police shooting.
But the decision to quickly charge Randall Kerrick in the September shooting is now drawing sharp criticism from police groups and being followed closely by law enforcement departments across the country.
Police say Kerrick fired 12 times at 24-year-old Jonathan Ferrell while responding to a breaking and entering call. Ten of the bullets hit the former Florida A&M University football player.
Officers say Ferrell had been in a car wreck and sought help at a nearby house. A woman called authorities when she didn't recognize the man.

The car was spotted just before the incident allegedly undertaking in some very noteworthy speeding suspected to have resulted in the car punching through a guardrail and smashing into a parking structure. The unnamed driver was pronounce dead on the scene when police arrived and after watching the footage from the accident scene, we're not at all surprised.

text: > See answers indicated by the > Hi, We're studying the possibility of installing a 64 bit testing node. The main purpose is about getting impressions related to the performance increase we would obtain in our particular scenario, computational fluid dynamics. In order to do the test, we have no doubt about the OS: Red Hat Enterprise 3, but we are a bit confused about the harware of choice: Athlon64 Opteron As far as we know, Opteron has two main differences: - A wider memory interface (128 bit in front of 64) - A larger L2 cache memory (1 Mb) Before doing any test, the questions are: 1) Which is the theoretical maximum performance gain using full 64 bit architecture in front of 32 bit, taking into account that our computations are done in double precision floating point using really big matrices? > I don't know about this one, but I think you expect about a 20% speed increase over the equivalent 32 bit program on the Athlon 64. (i.e. compile a code for 32 bit and then compile the same code for 64 bit and run them on the same processor, and I've read that you get about a 20% speed increase). 2) Is it nowadays the 64 bit solution using Linux ready for production? If this is the case, which problems may we have to deal with in order to compile and run our code in a full 64 bit environment? > The Linux kernel has had 64 bit support for the Hammer family of processors since before the processors actually came out. It is the supporting programs and drivers that may cause problems. (We are having display driver problems in X). gcc has got 64 bit support and the NAG compilers are available for x86_64. (I received NAG Fortran v5 a couple of days ago). 3) Which is the most mature solution: AMD Opteron or Intel Itanium? > It depends on what you want. Itanium is more mature, but doesn't give the performance increase you would expect given the price. There is a good thread on the AMD forums that is looking at the relative speeds of Itanium systems and Opteron systems running the same code. It can be found at http://forums.amd.com/index.php?showtopic=14239 and compares a couple of runs. It is not exactly benchmarking, but is a real world application. Personally, I would choose the Opteron. Itanium is too expensive for the performance you get from it. > Also, some Athlon 64 processors have 1MB cache. The difference between the Athlon64 and the Opteron is not that big. The major advantage of the Opteron is that you can have it in dual, quad or 8 way systems. Hope that helps.

Relaunching Africa Can and Sharing Africa's Growth
Dear Africa Can readers, we've heard from many of you since our former Africa Chief Economist Shanta Devarajan left the region for a new Bank position that you want Africa Can to continue highlighting the economic challenges and amazing successes that face the continent. We agree.
Today, we are re-launching Africa Can as a forum for discussing ideas about economic policy reform in Africa as a useful, if not essential, tool in the quest to end poverty in the region.
You'll continue to hear from many of the same bloggers who you've followed over the past five years, and you'll hear from many new voices – economists working in African countries and abroad engaging in the evidence-based debate that will help shape reform. On occasion, you'll hear from me, the new Deputy Chief Economist for the World Bank in Africa.
We invite you to continue to share your ideas and challenge ours in pursuit of development that really works to improve the lives of all people throughout Africa.
Here is my first post. I look forward to your comments.
In 1990, poverty incidence (with respect to a poverty line of $1.25) was almost exactly the same in sub-Saharan Africa and in East Asia: about 57%. Twenty years on, East Asia has shed 44 percentage points (to 13%) whereas Africa has only lost 8 points (to 49%). And this is not only about China: poverty has also fallen much faster in South Asia than in Africa.
These differences in performance are partly explained by differences in growth rates during the 1990s, when emerging Asia was already on the move, and Africa was still in the doldrums. But even in the 2000s, when Africa's GDP growth picked up to 4.6% or thereabouts, and a number of countries in the region were amongst the fastest-growing nations in the world, still poverty fell more slowly in Africa than in other regions. Why is that?

They say that there is nothing like baking your own bread. Nothing like the smell of it freshly baked, permeating your kitchen like a soft, stealthy blanket. Nothing like the ability it has to ease stress and calm your insides. Well, they say right. I have been putting off bread baking for a while…what with the yeasts, and risings, and proofings, and such. I was apprehensive…but also drawn to the very basic, almost primordial picture that bread baking was painting in my little noggin': Me, flour dusting my arms, massaging a lump of dough into a piece of heavenly comfort. So I embarked on a project called, um, "No buying bread!" Ok, more like an experiment. I would see how long I could go eating nothing but my own bread.
The breads you see here are my first attempts. The topmost picture being the very first product of this little experiment. It's The Essential White Loaf from Nigella Lawson's How To be A Domestic Goddess. I thought it may well do to start with something that had the word essential in it. Nigella said that I didn't have to put it in a loaf tin but could instead form it into any shape I wished. So I tried to go for a rustic looking round, but instead ended up with a lumpy alien spacecraft. No matter…my first whiff, my first bite, and it was all worth it. Worth the time spent waiting for the dough to rise, the steps taken to get to this essential loaf, even the efforts of keading (something that I have discovered I actually love…it does calm your insides!). I know this is a comment from a total newbie breadmaker still in the honeymoon of it all, but I kept thinking as I bit into my first slice, "My bread, MY bread."Here's the recipe:The Essential White Loaf
(from Nigella Lawson's How to Be a Domestic Goddess)- 500 grams strong white bread flour (plus some for kneading)
– 1 sachet (7 grams) easy blend yeast or 15 grams fresh yeast (despite Nigella's explicit warning against it I used active dried yeast, it's all I had, and it still turned out ok)
– 1 tablespoon salt
– around 300 ml tap water or potato water (I used potato water)
– 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softenedHere's what you do:
– Put the flour, yeast, and salt in a bowl then add 200 ml of the water. As you add the water mix with a wooden spoon (or your hand). Add more water until it becomes a "shaggy mess" (I love that phrase! There are times, after a completely satisfactory wild night out, that you return home feeling exactly that way? Like an absolutely brilliant shaggy mess?). Now add the butter and mix in.
– Now start kneading (yey!) for at least 10 minutes. There may be a day, long into my bread future, when I may tire of pushing the heel of my hand into a mound of pliant dough over and over (thinking very deep thoughts), but until that day comes I won't be using the dough hook.
– Add flour as needed (if the dough seems too sticky).
– When the dough is smooth and less sticky, form it into a ball and place it in a large oiled or buttered bowl, turning it once so the top is greased too. Cover loosely with cling film (or a tea towel) and leave to rise for an hour or so until doubled in bulk. You can also opt to give it a long cold rise in the fridge overnight.
– Once doubled in size, punch it down (another fun part!) and knead for just a tiny moment.
– Form the dough into what ever shape you want and place it on a baking sheet (or loaf tin) and once again cover loosely with cling film or a tea towel. Leave for 30 minutes or so until puffy again.
– Remove towel and dust lightly with flour. Place in a 220C oven and bake for 35 minutes.
– You know it's ready when you rap on the underside and it sounds hollow.- When done, place on a rack and let it cool.
I suppose there are more expert recipes out there…stuff that come from bread bibles and such, but oh the ecstasy of eating fresh bread that was kneaded by these two hands. It tasted much heartier than store-bought, and less sweet as well. Now, you are probably wondering why the picture above (and the one above that) look suspiciously not white. That's because for my second attempt I used half white flour and half whole wheat (using the same recipe). Also delicious! The bread pictured in my last breakfast post (in which I alluded to my bread project) is Potato Bread, also from Nigella, and actually my favorite so far…so soft and chewy!So have I bought bread since I started? Nope. So far things are looking good and I am enjoying myself immensely. And I have only just used recipes from one book! There are tons out there…plus all the bread recipes I have been bookmarking from the food blog world…plus I haven't even ventured into starters (although I have gotten a lot of good tips from much-admired food bloggers)! This may be the start of something great…

The PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system is designed to regulate and remove fumes from the engine crankcase, and to alleviate crankcase pressure which could cause oil leaks or seal damage. The PCV system routes crankcase fumes into the intake manifold where they can be burned to eliminate harmful emissions into the atmosphere. The PCV valve controls the amount of crankcase flow volume depending on the engine's load. With large throttle openings (high engine loads), more blow-by gases are produced and the PCV system flows more oil vapor into the intake manifold. The PCV valve also functions as a check valve to prevent the intake manifold flow from reversing back into the crankcase when there is a backfire, or during periods of high manifold pressure (boost) during forced induction by a turbocharger or supercharger.
However, oil residue can accumulate inside the intake manifold, throttle body, intake track and even the air filter during aggressive driving conditions. There are various negative effects when excess oil vapor contaminates the intake system from the stock PCV system, such as:
• Throttle body and/or MAFS (Mass Air Flow Sensor) malfunction or failure.
• Air filter, intercooler (if equipped) and intake ducting contamination if oil pools and runs back out the intake system after engine shutdown.
• Reduced octane of the air/fuel mixture, which can cause detonation and the ECM (Engine Control Module) to retard timing, thereby reducing engine power.
• Excessive carbon build-up on valves, piston crowns, combustion chambers and spark plugs. This also increases the chance of detonation and power loss.
• Increased emissions & possible contamination of catalytic converters and oxygen sensors.
So, the bottom line is that excessive oil vapor in the intake manifold is detrimental to your engine. The fix is to install an Elite Engineering PCV catch can, and here's how!

text: I was in another thread recently where someone was asking for quilting advice and a couple of things were mentioned...the wavy stitch and quilting with decorative stitches. I'm assuming both are done with a walking foot right? How do you keep the line of stitches straight when doing these? I think I would end up going all over the place. Thanks for any advice, I'm ready to try new things other than SITD and the general meander and both of these sound like fun (but I don't want to ruin my quilt and I certainly don't want to rip out quilting).

Okay, so I have learned that I definitely need to take more photos, since, this week, I have exactly 3 photos to share. Since two of them are related to this month's Foodie Pen Pal, I will have a separate post about that at the reveal day on the 30th. The other, with the popovers, I will tell you about tomorrow. So stayed tuned!
Brownie batter. Good on its own. BUT this time I added something special. Again, you are just going to have to come back and read more about them on the Foodie Pen Pal post for this month.
A peek into the box I received from my Foodie Pen Pal this month. I've already said (showed) too much.
I kind of really love this picture of me taking a shot of the popovers in the oven. It seems artsy. Or something. Anyway, more on those popovers soon.
Some other highlights from my week I could have taken pictures of:
- I got my haircut. I am trying to grow it out some, so it was just a trim and some layers added.
- I've been biking a lot lately. There's this one hill on my way to work that I have yet to master. One day. Also, I love biking through Golden Gate Park. So pretty and peaceful.
- Trivia night at Elixir in the Mission. We came in fourth place by one point. But still, fun night.
- Wednesday was the summer solstice, which means it was the longest amount of daylight. I bet there would have been a picture in there somewhere.
Maybe next time I will remember to get my camera out and snap away. Have a great week!

Brutal psychedelia, semantic dissonance and pints of lovely apple beverage: Supersonic 2009
Supersonic 2009, 24th-26th of July (inclusive): I will recap this via three categories, I think.
The Good
~ Nisennenmondai (Saturday evening): Nisennenmondai did some sort of "Alice…" kinda thing where they're tiny but start playing and it's like they've eaten an "Eat Me" and grown by about four hundred miles. Either that or they just sounded really big. The best set of the festival, anyway, and they got the reception from the crowd to prove it. They live somewhere between Battles and Neu with maybe a twist of Lightning Bolt too, creating a driving and constantly building instrumental sound. The nutty drummer makes a great contrast to the other two more demure types.
~ Theo (Sunday afternoon): Joint-second-best. Your man (on his Jack Jones) guitars for a bit, loops that, then slings the axe over his back and drums for a bit, before looping that etc etc. Eeeeeveryone is using loop pedals nowadays (I heard an ice-cream van layering it's choons the other day. Or maybe I just wanted to, I forget) but it's the quality that's important, and this lad created a wonderfully intricate-and-detailed but still high-energy mathsrock business.
~ Earthless (Sunday evening): The other joint-second-best. They weren't as Southern as I was expecting (I reckon I may have become confused between tracks on the Brumcast preview podcasts, although I'm not sure who that means I actually was thinking about. Someone I didn't see, anyway). I'm hesitant to call them 'stoner rock' as others have, and will instead go with the "brutal psychedelia" appellation that a wise man suggested afterwards. Or something. Loooong songs with lots (and I really mean lots) of widdly-wah guitar, but all serving the purpose of taking you on an adventure into the heart of a rocking sun. Or something.
~ The catering situation: The food/drink provisions for the hungry/thirsty masses this year was better than one might ever have expected. The Hogan's Organic Cider Crizzew were selling pints of their lovely apple beverage for £3 (dear, obviously, but not really all that obscene given that we're at a festival-type-affair), and Purity (your young funky fresh real-ale that doesn't market itself towards old men like other breweries who are all SQUARES anyway) had nearly-a-pint bottles available for £3.50. The generic kegged lager and cider from the main bars were £4 per pint, and thus only purchased by certain kinds of mor-ron, or perhaps those particularly and overwhelmingly committed to lager and lager alone (these probably aren't the same thing, but may be). The Hogan's was really nice though, you honestly should've tried it if you're one of this lot who seem to be unhappy about having paid more for things that weren't as good. The Thai food stall was nice if expensive (it doesn't matter precisely what it is, if it's served in a polystyrene tray then £5 is expensive for any kind of food. This was of course a lot nicer than practically anything else you'll ever get in a polystyrene tray), and I can officially reveal to the world that a "100% Cornish BBQ" is in fact a burger/barbeque/etc stand that additionally-but-separately sells pasties and clotted cream. They don't put them on the barbeque grill. They're not certain kinds of mor-ron.
~ PCM (Friday night): UK drum'n'bass all in your face. A touch funkier and less head-wreckin' than usual, I thought, with some squelchy rave-synth sounds that I don't recall them using quite so much before. Great fun. I'm glad they didn't use Bolt Throwerman again this time – that was fun at first but the novelty has run its course.
~ Tartufi (early Saturday evening): Hard indeed to describe, but worth the effort of checking out if you get the chance. Noisy pop, perhaps, marrying frequently-changing song structures to some really catchy hooks, and assortment of different instruments, loop pedals (yes, yes), and a ridiculously broad sound. Apparently they're American. I thought someone had told me they were Belgian. They were probably on the verge of going into the 'joint second best' category with Earthless and Theo, but let down ever so slightly by occasionally trying a bit too tough to be 'epic' for their own good. Only occasionally, though.
~ Iron Lung (Saturday evening): I was amazed to learn that the band I saw supporting Municipal Waste in Dudley ("Doodley", as they had it) last year are considered by many to be legends/really important. Quite good, anyway – fast shouty hardcore/grind ('power violence', if you will. Truly the most fantastic genre name this side of 'krunk'), with inhumanly tight and precise stopping/starting/rhythm-changing. The singer-come-drummer is clearly a frustrated stand-up comedian, bless him.
~ Thorr's Hammer (Saturday night): I wasn't expecting a lot (oh, cynic), but I enjoyed them. Doomy huge riffs met a pleasingly happy onstage attitude, in contrast to the pomposity that so often attends this sort of thing. Runhild Gammelsæter (a dream of a name for a metal singer, it has to be said) was downright giggly, bless her heart. And also, yes: huge riffs.
~ Zu (Saturday night): I only saw the middle bit of their set, but it was bloody ace energetic jazz-rock sort of stuff, although that doesn't really do them any justice at all as a description. Saxamophone, saxamaphone, with turbo-charged rhythms. I wished I'd stopped with them a bit longer, actually – in retrospect it would have been worth missing the start of Corrupted.
~ Corrupted (Saturday night): Dooooooom. Corrupted are one of those bands who are considered legends those who A) have heard of them, and B) are the sort of people likely to consider them legends. They sounded huge with a capital Hyoo. On the verge, perhaps, of overdoing it a touch with the post-rock style jangly guitar build-up bits (they never felt like anything more than a build-up, that was the trouble. If I'd been wearing a watch I would probably have checked it at times) but I suppose that when they kicked in the light & shade thing really did work. They did sound absolutely corruscating when hitting it, too. Bosting stuff and no doubt it's an "Ah, yes, I saw Corrupted once…" tale to tell the doomster grandchildren.
~ Nancy Wallace (Sunday afternoon): I only arrived in time for her last song-and-a-half, but her voice & guitar and the (very attractive) violinist combined to make an absolutely lovely folksy sound.
~ Zzz (Sunday afternoon): A mix betwixt Depeche Mode, Suicide and Dead Or Alive. The chaos/noise bit they briefly had a stab at was absolutely and entirely unconvincing, but other than that they were great keyboardy fun.
~ Khyam Allami (early Sunday evening): Played traditionally-styled Syrian music on the oud (a bit like a lute? It makes that jruangly type of sound I associate with Middle Eastern music. "Jruangly" is a word I've just made up to describe that sound that sounds like "jruanglllle"). He seemed surprised but genuinely really happy to be well received, which was quite nice for all concerned. Then, he covered "Black Sabbath". On the oud. Awesome.
~ The Memory Band (Sunday evening): Apparently they were playing "The Wicker Man" soundtrack, although I wouldn't know since I've never seen it (yes, yes, we know, heresy and so on). Very effectively creepy nursery rhyme-ish folk, from my perspective.
~ Head Of David (Sunday night): Intriguing: their sound seemed to me to be closer to what would often be called noise-rock than what would often be called industrial, in spite of the fact that it was actually closer to the sort of panel-bashing rhythms that you'd associate with industry than it was to anything like free-form noise. Interesting semantic dissonance, ar kid – yow can tell they'm proppa folk from the Black Country like we.
~ Caribou (Sunday night): The last band, for me. They sounded absolutely nothing like the gentle psychedelia found on the recorded bits'n'bobs I heard, and were instead more like some energetic post-rock thing hopping up into big rhythmic drum freakouts. Good fun but I only saw a bit before needing to leave. A whole weekend o'tiredness was beginning to settle on me.
~ People: This is uncharacteristic for me, I realise, but I give shouts to the actual audience – firstly I didn't have to negotiate too many unpleasantly dense crowds (no idea how many folk were there, but they were spread out a lot more nicely than they might have been) and secondly I bumped into a lot of lovely bredrins and sistrins who I hadn't seen for ages/don't see very often. Aaaw.
~ Boids: There was, of course, "There Are No Others…" (Or maybe there wasn't. Weren't. My head hurts. I suppose there was a titular absence of others, so "there was" is permissible) (see here, whichever way up) (anyway: BIRDS~!); there was also the bird-shaped-cushion I bought from one of the merchandise stalls to take back to Louise. I named him 'Poultry'. He was later re-named 'Percy'.
~ Bunny Bissoux' "Petting Zoo" pictures: Really cute. I absolutely love the lion that you can see at the bottom-central-left here. I'm still claiming responsibility for giving Capsule the idea to have this made, too, whether or not the actual artist knows a thing about that (I suspect she probably doesn't).
The Bad
~ Sunno))) (Friday night)))): When you can barely breathe for dry ice you know it's time for Sunnoparenthesisification. Or a Sisters Of Mercy gig, perhaps. One of the two. I only watched a little bit before wondering off to see Scorn, admittedly, but after the intro tape had ended and their performance had started (figuring out the precise point at which this happens is not the easiest feat) they went "Buuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr" for the ten minutes or so I bothered with. As, obviously, is their custom. I think they could be interesting as a kind of endurance test if they actually were as loud as popular legend claims that they're supposed to be, but on neither of the time-and-a-bits that I've sent them has this been the case (at least a couple of folks whose stuff I've read from the Collective Memory seem to have been carrying portable decibel meters and reckon that this hit that 130db-ish plane-taking-off range. I am as deaf as a post, admittedly, but that really doesn't sound even approximately close to right to me))).
~ Diagonal (early Saturday evening): Erm, I know that I definitely saw at least some of their set but I don't remember the slightest thing. I don't recall them as specifically bad, but not making any impact at all can't be a good thing.
~ Trying to keep the rain from falling into my cider whilst walking between stages on Sunday: A pain in the arse. The weather was OK otherwise, though.
~ Tiredness and aching: Clearly I am a complete and total Jessie.
~ Travelling by taxi: This was necessary for the journeys home on the first two nights. It's not a cheap hobby.
~ Missing some of the bands that were worth seeing: I signed off Venetian Snares (who I would particularly have liked to see) and Monotonix as being casualties of playing in the middle of the morning, and now everybody seems to be saying they were particular highlights. Bah. I didn't get around to getting my name down for the list-only Pram performance beforehand, either. Bah.
The Middling
~ Scorn (Friday night): Not as good as I wanted, but I think that may mostly have been due to me having the wrong kind of expectations – this was more of a 'minimal electronics' sort of affair than the thick swamp of dub that I was looking forward to. I spent a fair bit of the set chatting to The Infamous John Matie (I hadn't seen him for a year) in the other room of The Med Bar and Scorn's set made ace background music for that, though.
~ Rose Kemp (Saturday afternoon): Whilst it seemed like a theme for quite a few acts over the weekend, Rose Kemp took "sounding very different live to on record" to a ludicrous degree. Her voice was a hell of a lot more shrill than I expected, and accompanied only by big dragged-out doomy chords. At some points this came together to create a hellish sound, whilst at others it sounded like half baked hit-the-guitar-and-howl improvisation. There was also some very extensive swearing and amp-fiddling between songs. Lots and lots of each. It's nice to have hobbies.
~ "Home Of Metal" talk (Saturday evening): After a fun little documentary about the project, there was an on-stage interview Johnny Doom, Nic Bullen and a couple of Sunno))) blokes. With the mics helpfully turned down really quiet. I left halfway through – I would actually have liked to stay and strain to hear for a bit longer (not being sarcy) but I absolutely did not want to miss any of Nisennenmondai.
~ The Accused (Saturday night): They sounded really Poison Idea-esque on the recorded bits I'd heard, but more like a generic sloppy 80s thrash band live. They did have their moments though.
~ Esoteric (Sunday afternoon): I think I was probably all-doomed-out by this point. They had effective chunky riffs and a big sound, but just didn't really get to me. The atmospheric sample bits (dripping taps sounds etc) probably would have worked a lot better in less massive venue. Your man's Prince/Madonna stylee headset mic was a nice touch, though, although there were no dance routines to make the most of it.
~ Arbouretum (sic) (early Sunday evening): I only saw a little bit of their set – 70s folky prog sorta thing. Seemed OK-ish.
~ Jarboe (Sunday evening): Ooh, she's an enigma, that Jarboe. Or wants to be, at the very least. Hippy-doom this time around, perhaps (ah, it makes sense in my mind), but the way that she appeared to have such great regard for the magical spiritual worth of what she was doing really did get irritating.
~ 65DaysOfStatic (Sunday night): Post-rock with d'n'b styled imitation breakbeats. I liked bits of the bit of their set I saw, but (as a tweet from I-don't-know-whom that seems to have fallen off the internet said) every song seems trying so very hard to be all big and epic. Their stage manner was very different but somehow related to that of Jarboe – in their case they seemed supremely convinced of their own ability to Rock The Hizouse. Plenty about them to get on the ol' nerves, all in all, but they did have some fun moments.
* * *
Not quite matching up to last year's best Supersonic evaaarrr, but still plenty good enough. Next one please. Again again again.

In a statement to E! News he confirmed the long-rumored news:
"Yo! Yo! Yo! To put all of the speculation to the rest, after 12 years of judging on American Idol I have decided it is time to leave after this season," he says. "I am very proud of how we forever changed television and the music industry. It's been a life changing opportunity but I am looking forward to focusing on my company Dream Merchant 21 and other business ventures."

When I decided to change the header on my notes on paper blog last month I knew that, if I were to replace all of the much-loved kitschy, colourful, patterned bits and pieces which made up my original design, I'd have to make sure that the new one was something I could love just as much.
And I knew exactly what that thing should be.
A silhouetted bird:
I think I've surprised myself at how much I've become drawn to clean simple designs lately. I think they compliment the other half of my 'lots-of-pattern-throw-more-stuff-on-there' character quite nicely.
I think 'balance' is a good word for what these silhoutted designs can bring to the walls of my rooms, the pillows on my bed .... and maybe even the skin of my back?????
What design styles have you been surprised to find yourself day-dreaming about? Have you got any secret plans to adorn your body with them? We always like a bit of crafty gossip here at C+P ....do tell ...

New in version 3.1.
The purpose of the importlib package is two-fold. One is to provide the implementation of the import statement (and thus, by extension, the __import__() function) in Python source code. This provides an implementation of import which is portable to any Python interpreter. This also provides an implementation which is easier to comprehend than one implemented in a programming language other than Python.
Two, the components to implement import are exposed in this package, making it easier for users to create their own custom objects (known generically as an importer) to participate in the import process.
See also
An implementation of the built-in __import__() function.
Import a module. The name argument specifies what module to import in absolute or relative terms (e.g. either pkg.mod or ..mod). If the name is specified in relative terms, then the package argument must be set to the name of the package which is to act as the anchor for resolving the package name (e.g. import_module('..mod', 'pkg.subpkg') will import pkg.mod).
The import_module() function acts as a simplifying wrapper around importlib.__import__(). This means all semantics of the function are derived from importlib.__import__(), including requiring the package from which an import is occurring to have been previously imported (i.e., package must already be imported). The most important difference is that import_module() returns the specified package or module (e.g. pkg.mod), while __import__() returns the top-level package or module (e.g. pkg).
Changed in version 3.3: Parent packages are automatically imported.
Find the loader for a module, optionally within the specified path. If the module is in sys.modules, then sys.modules[name].__loader__ is returned (unless the loader would be None, in which case ValueError is raised). Otherwise a search using sys.meta_path is done. None is returned if no loader is found.
A dotted name does not have its parent's implicitly imported as that requires loading them and that may not be desired. To properly import a submodule you will need to import all parent packages of the submodule and use the correct argument to path.
Invalidate the internal caches of finders stored at sys.meta_path. If a finder implements invalidate_caches() then it will be called to perform the invalidation. This function should be called if any modules are created/installed while your program is running to guarantee all finders will notice the new module's existence.
New in version 3.3.
The importlib.abc module contains all of the core abstract base classes used by import. Some subclasses of the core abstract base classes are also provided to help in implementing the core ABCs.
ABC hierarchy:
+-- Finder (deprecated)
| +-- MetaPathFinder
| +-- PathEntryFinder
+-- Loader
+-- ResourceLoader --------+
+-- InspectLoader |
+-- ExecutionLoader --+
+-- FileLoader
+-- SourceLoader
+-- PyLoader (deprecated)
+-- PyPycLoader (deprecated)
An abstract base class representing a finder.
Deprecated since version 3.3: Use MetaPathFinder or PathEntryFinder instead.
An abstact method for finding a loader for the specified module. Originally specified in PEP 302, this method was meant for use in sys.meta_path and in the path-based import subsystem.
An abstract base class representing a meta path finder. For compatibility, this is a subclass of Finder.
New in version 3.3.
An abstract method for finding a loader for the specified module. If this is a top-level import, path will be None. Otherwise, this is a search for a subpackage or module and path will be the value of __path__ from the parent package. If a loader cannot be found, None is returned.
An optional method which, when called, should invalidate any internal cache used by the finder. Used by importlib.invalidate_caches() when invalidating the caches of all finders on sys.meta_path.
An abstract base class representing a path entry finder. Though it bears some similarities to MetaPathFinder, PathEntryFinder is meant for use only within the path-based import subsystem provided by PathFinder. This ABC is a subclass of Finder for compatibility.
New in version 3.3.
An abstract method for finding a loader for the specified module. Returns a 2-tuple of (loader, portion) where portion is a sequence of file system locations contributing to part of a namespace package. The loader may be None while specifying portion to signify the contribution of the file system locations to a namespace package. An empty list can be used for portion to signify the loader is not part of a package. If loader is None and portion is the empty list then no loader or location for a namespace package were found (i.e. failure to find anything for the module).
A concrete implementation of Finder.find_module() which is equivalent to self.find_loader(fullname)[0].
An optional method which, when called, should invalidate any internal cache used by the finder. Used by PathFinder.invalidate_caches() when invalidating the caches of all cached finders.
An abstract base class for a loader. See PEP 302 for the exact definition for a loader.
An abstract method for loading a module. If the module cannot be loaded, ImportError is raised, otherwise the loaded module is returned.
If the requested module already exists in sys.modules, that module should be used and reloaded. Otherwise the loader should create a new module and insert it into sys.modules before any loading begins, to prevent recursion from the import. If the loader inserted a module and the load fails, it must be removed by the loader from sys.modules; modules already in sys.modules before the loader began execution should be left alone. The importlib.util.module_for_loader() decorator handles all of these details.
The loader should set several attributes on the module. (Note that some of these attributes can change when a module is reloaded.)
The name of the module.
The path to where the module data is stored (not set for built-in modules).
The path to where a compiled version of the module is/should be stored (not set when the attribute would be inappropriate).
A list of strings specifying the search path within a package. This attribute is not set on modules.
The parent package for the module/package. If the module is top-level then it has a value of the empty string. The importlib.util.set_package() decorator can handle the details for __package__.
The loader used to load the module. (This is not set by the built-in import machinery, but it should be set whenever a loader is used.)
An abstract method which when implemented calculates and returns the given module's repr, as a string.
An abstract base class for a loader which implements the optional PEP 302 protocol for loading arbitrary resources from the storage back-end.
An abstract method to return the bytes for the data located at path. Loaders that have a file-like storage back-end that allows storing arbitrary data can implement this abstract method to give direct access to the data stored. IOError is to be raised if the path cannot be found. The path is expected to be constructed using a module's __file__ attribute or an item from a package's __path__.
An abstract base class for a loader which implements the optional PEP 302 protocol for loaders that inspect modules.
An abstract method to return the code object for a module. None is returned if the module does not have a code object (e.g. built-in module). ImportError is raised if loader cannot find the requested module.
An abstract method to return the source of a module. It is returned as a text string using universal newlines, translating all recognized line separators into '\n' characters. Returns None if no source is available (e.g. a built-in module). Raises ImportError if the loader cannot find the module specified.
An abstract method to return a true value if the module is a package, a false value otherwise. ImportError is raised if the loader cannot find the module.
An abstract base class which inherits from InspectLoader that, when implemented, helps a module to be executed as a script. The ABC represents an optional PEP 302 protocol.
An abstract method that is to return the value of __file__ for the specified module. If no path is available, ImportError is raised.
If source code is available, then the method should return the path to the source file, regardless of whether a bytecode was used to load the module.
An abstract base class which inherits from ResourceLoader and ExecutionLoader, providing concrete implementations of ResourceLoader.get_data() and ExecutionLoader.get_filename().
The fullname argument is a fully resolved name of the module the loader is to handle. The path argument is the path to the file for the module.
New in version 3.3.
The name of the module the loader can handle.
Path to the file of the module.
Calls super's load_module().
Returns the open, binary file for path.
An abstract base class for implementing source (and optionally bytecode) file loading. The class inherits from both ResourceLoader and ExecutionLoader, requiring the implementation of:
Should only return the path to the source file; sourceless loading is not supported.
The abstract methods defined by this class are to add optional bytecode file support. Not implementing these optional methods causes the loader to only work with source code. Implementing the methods allows the loader to work with source and bytecode files; it does not allow for sourceless loading where only bytecode is provided. Bytecode files are an optimization to speed up loading by removing the parsing step of Python's compiler, and so no bytecode-specific API is exposed.
Optional abstract method which returns a dict containing metadata about the specifed path. Supported dictionary keys are:
Any other keys in the dictionary are ignored, to allow for future extensions.
New in version 3.3.
Optional abstract method which returns the modification time for the specified path.
Deprecated since version 3.3: This method is deprecated in favour of path_stats(). You don't have to implement it, but it is still available for compatibility purposes.
Optional abstract method which writes the specified bytes to a file path. Any intermediate directories which do not exist are to be created automatically.
When writing to the path fails because the path is read-only (errno.EACCES/PermissionError), do not propagate the exception.
Concrete implementation of InspectLoader.get_code().
Concrete implementation of Loader.load_module().
Concrete implementation of InspectLoader.get_source().
Concrete implementation of InspectLoader.is_package(). A module is determined to be a package if its file path (as provided by ExecutionLoader.get_filename()) is a file named __init__ when the file extension is removed and the module name itself does not end in __init__.
An abstract base class inheriting from ExecutionLoader and ResourceLoader designed to ease the loading of Python source modules (bytecode is not handled; see SourceLoader for a source/bytecode ABC). A subclass implementing this ABC will only need to worry about exposing how the source code is stored; all other details for loading Python source code will be handled by the concrete implementations of key methods.
Deprecated since version 3.2: This class has been deprecated in favor of SourceLoader and is slated for removal in Python 3.4. See below for how to create a subclass that is compatible with Python 3.1 onwards.
If compatibility with Python 3.1 is required, then use the following idiom to implement a subclass that will work with Python 3.1 onwards (make sure to implement ExecutionLoader.get_filename()):
from importlib.abc import SourceLoader
except ImportError:
from importlib.abc import PyLoader as SourceLoader
class CustomLoader(SourceLoader):
def get_filename(self, fullname):
"""Return the path to the source file."""
# Implement ...
def source_path(self, fullname):
"""Implement source_path in terms of get_filename."""
return self.get_filename(fullname)
except ImportError:
return None
def is_package(self, fullname):
"""Implement is_package by looking for an __init__ file
name as returned by get_filename."""
filename = os.path.basename(self.get_filename(fullname))
return os.path.splitext(filename)[0] == '__init__'
An abstract method that returns the path to the source code for a module. Should return None if there is no source code. Raises ImportError if the loader knows it cannot handle the module.
A concrete implementation of importlib.abc.ExecutionLoader.get_filename() that relies on source_path(). If source_path() returns None, then ImportError is raised.
A concrete implementation of importlib.abc.Loader.load_module() that loads Python source code. All needed information comes from the abstract methods required by this ABC. The only pertinent assumption made by this method is that when loading a package __path__ is set to [os.path.dirname(__file__)].
A concrete implementation of importlib.abc.InspectLoader.get_code() that creates code objects from Python source code, by requesting the source code (using source_path() and get_data()) and compiling it with the built-in compile() function.
A concrete implementation of importlib.abc.InspectLoader.get_source(). Uses importlib.abc.ResourceLoader.get_data() and source_path() to get the source code. It tries to guess the source encoding using tokenize.detect_encoding().
An abstract base class inheriting from PyLoader. This ABC is meant to help in creating loaders that support both Python source and bytecode.
Deprecated since version 3.2: This class has been deprecated in favor of SourceLoader and to properly support PEP 3147. If compatibility is required with Python 3.1, implement both SourceLoader and PyLoader; instructions on how to do so are included in the documentation for PyLoader. Do note that this solution will not support sourceless/bytecode-only loading; only source and bytecode loading.
Changed in version 3.3: Updated to parse (but not use) the new source size field in bytecode files when reading and to write out the field properly when writing.
An abstract method which returns the modification time for the source code of the specified module. The modification time should be an integer. If there is no source code, return None. If the module cannot be found then ImportError is raised.
An abstract method which returns the path to the bytecode for the specified module, if it exists. It returns None if no bytecode exists (yet). Raises ImportError if the loader knows it cannot handle the module.
A concrete implementation of ExecutionLoader.get_filename() that relies on PyLoader.source_path() and bytecode_path(). If source_path() returns a path, then that value is returned. Else if bytecode_path() returns a path, that path will be returned. If a path is not available from both methods, ImportError is raised.
An abstract method which has the loader write bytecode for future use. If the bytecode is written, return True. Return False if the bytecode could not be written. This method should not be called if sys.dont_write_bytecode is true. The bytecode argument should be a bytes string or bytes array.
This module contains the various objects that help import find and load modules.
A list of strings representing the recognized file suffixes for source modules.
New in version 3.3.
A list of strings representing the file suffixes for non-optimized bytecode modules.
New in version 3.3.
A list of strings representing the file suffixes for optimized bytecode modules.
New in version 3.3.
A list of strings representing the recognized file suffixes for bytecode modules. Set to either DEBUG_BYTECODE_SUFFIXES or OPTIMIZED_BYTECODE_SUFFIXES based on whether __debug__ is true.
New in version 3.3.
A list of strings representing the recognized file suffixes for extension modules.
New in version 3.3.
Returns a combined list of strings representing all file suffixes for modules recognized by the standard import machinery. This is a helper for code which simply needs to know if a filesystem path potentially refers to a module without needing any details on the kind of module (for example, inspect.getmodulename())
New in version 3.3.
An importer for built-in modules. All known built-in modules are listed in sys.builtin_module_names. This class implements the importlib.abc.MetaPathFinder and importlib.abc.InspectLoader ABCs.
Only class methods are defined by this class to alleviate the need for instantiation.
An importer for frozen modules. This class implements the importlib.abc.MetaPathFinder and importlib.abc.InspectLoader ABCs.
Only class methods are defined by this class to alleviate the need for instantiation.
Finder for modules declared in the Windows registry. This class implements the importlib.abc.Finder ABC.
Only class methods are defined by this class to alleviate the need for instantiation.
New in version 3.3.
A Finder for sys.path and package __path__ attributes. This class implements the importlib.abc.MetaPathFinder ABC.
Only class methods are defined by this class to alleviate the need for instantiation.
Class method that attempts to find a loader for the module specified by fullname on sys.path or, if defined, on path. For each path entry that is searched, sys.path_importer_cache is checked. If a non-false object is found then it is used as the path entry finder to look for the module being searched for. If no entry is found in sys.path_importer_cache, then sys.path_hooks is searched for a finder for the path entry and, if found, is stored in sys.path_importer_cache along with being queried about the module. If no finder is ever found then None is both stored in the cache and returned.
Calls importlib.abc.PathEntryFinder.invalidate_caches() on all finders stored in sys.path_importer_cache.
A concrete implementation of importlib.abc.PathEntryFinder which caches results from the file system.
The path argument is the directory for which the finder is in charge of searching.
The loader_details argument is a variable number of 2-item tuples each containing a loader and a sequence of file suffixes the loader recognizes. The loaders are expected to be callables which accept two arguments of the module's name and the path to the file found.
The finder will cache the directory contents as necessary, making stat calls for each module search to verify the cache is not outdated. Because cache staleness relies upon the granularity of the operating system's state information of the file system, there is a potential race condition of searching for a module, creating a new file, and then searching for the module the new file represents. If the operations happen fast enough to fit within the granularity of stat calls, then the module search will fail. To prevent this from happening, when you create a module dynamically, make sure to call importlib.invalidate_caches().
New in version 3.3.
The path the finder will search in.
Clear out the internal cache.
A class method which returns a closure for use on sys.path_hooks. An instance of FileFinder is returned by the closure using the path argument given to the closure directly and loader_details indirectly.
If the argument to the closure is not an existing directory, ImportError is raised.
A concrete implementation of importlib.abc.SourceLoader by subclassing importlib.abc.FileLoader and providing some concrete implementations of other methods.
New in version 3.3.
The name of the module that this loader will handle.
The path to the source file.
Concrete implementation of importlib.abc.SourceLoader.path_stats().
Concrete implementation of importlib.abc.SourceLoader.set_data().
A concrete implementation of importlib.abc.FileLoader which can import bytecode files (i.e. no source code files exist).
Please note that direct use of bytecode files (and thus not source code files) inhibits your modules from being usable by all Python implementations or new versions of Python which change the bytecode format.
New in version 3.3.
The name of the module the loader will handle.
The path to the bytecode file.
Returns None as bytecode files have no source when this loader is used.
A concrete implementation of importlib.abc.InspectLoader for extension modules.
The fullname argument specifies the name of the module the loader is to support. The path argument is the path to the extension module's file.
New in version 3.3.
Name of the module the loader supports.
Path to the extension module.
Loads the extension module if and only if fullname is the same as name or is None.
Returns True if the file path points to a package's __init__ module based on EXTENSION_SUFFIXES.
Returns None as extension modules lack a code object.
Returns None as extension modules do not have source code.
This module contains the various objects that help in the construction of an importer.
Resolve a relative module name to an absolute one.
If name has no leading dots, then name is simply returned. This allows for usage such as importlib.util.resolve_name('sys', __package__) without doing a check to see if the package argument is needed.
ValueError is raised if name is a relative module name but package is a false value (e.g. None or the empty string). ValueError is also raised a relative name would escape its containing package (e.g. requesting ..bacon from within the spam package).
New in version 3.3.
A decorator for a loader method, to handle selecting the proper module object to load with. The decorated method is expected to have a call signature taking two positional arguments (e.g. load_module(self, module)) for which the second argument will be the module object to be used by the loader. Note that the decorator will not work on static methods because of the assumption of two arguments.
The decorated method will take in the name of the module to be loaded as expected for a loader. If the module is not found in sys.modules then a new one is constructed with its __name__ attribute set to name, __loader__ set to self, and __package__ set if importlib.abc.InspectLoader.is_package() is defined for self and does not raise ImportError for name. If a new module is not needed then the module found in sys.modules will be passed into the method.
If an exception is raised by the decorated method and a module was added to sys.modules it will be removed to prevent a partially initialized module from being in left in sys.modules. If the module was already in sys.modules then it is left alone.
Use of this decorator handles all the details of which module object a loader should initialize as specified by PEP 302 as best as possible.
Changed in version 3.3: __loader__ and __package__ are automatically set (when possible).
It is recommended that module_for_loader() be used over this decorator as it subsumes this functionality.
A decorator for a loader to set the __package__ attribute on the module returned by the loader. If __package__ is set and has a value other than None it will not be changed. Note that the module returned by the loader is what has the attribute set on and not the module found in sys.modules.
Reliance on this decorator is discouraged when it is possible to set __package__ before importing. By setting it beforehand the code for the module is executed with the attribute set and thus can be used by global level code during initialization.
It is recommended that module_for_loader() be used over this decorator as it subsumes this functionality.

Carra Brooks — Babe of the Day
Carra Brooks is a 25-year-old model from Miami. Carra got her start at Hooters, the chain restaurant that specializes in beer, chicken wings and girls who are about to become models.
Carra was featured on Spike TV's gripping documentary about Hooters' 'Snow Angels.' She has also been seen in several Hooters' calendars, Hooters' playing card decks and the Miss Hooters pageant. When the producers of the Jason Segel film 'Jeff, Who Lives At Home' needed a Hooters girl, they cast Carra Brooks.
Carra Brooks is currently pursuing modeling and acting opportunities that do not involve Hooters. Troubling as it may seem, there are movies, calendars and pageants that do not involve restaurants which employ beautiful, buxom women serving up deep-fried food by the wheelbarrow-full.

Git makes it easy to pull contributions from other repositories and make them part of your own. It feels wrong to do the same thing we do with CVS: attach a patch that is later added to the repository by a committer. The natural thing to do in Git is to pull the contribution in question from the contributor's Git repository. Regardless of the mechanism used to actually get the code into an Eclipse project's Git repository, the Eclipse IP Policy and Due Diligence Process must be followed.
One of the main issues that we need to address is that we need to form a connection between code that has been contributed and a statement of provenance, rights, and licensing. You know, lawyer stuff.
Git does a great job of keeping track of author information, but there is no built in way to keep track of all the other stuff. At some point in the hopefully-not-too-distant-future, we'll be able to use Gerrit for this (see Bug 283749). In the meantime, we have to bridge the old world with the new.
An individual has forked one of the eclipse.org projects and has issued a pull request for a commit record that they would like to contribute to the eclipse.org project.
- A contributor who is not currently a committer on the project indicates that they've authored some code that they'd like to contribute to the project (this may occur through any number of communication channels).
- The developer who authored the code is referred to as the "contributor" or "author"
- Eclipse project committer agrees the contribution is something they would like to include in their project.
- Contributor (author) or project committer creates a bugzilla that include URL pointers to the refs (commit record) in the source repository.
- The contributor (author) provides a statement regarding the provenance, rights, and license of the code in a comment on the Bugzilla record.
- e.g., "I wrote all this code and have the rights to contribute it to Eclipse under the eclipse.org web site terms of use."
- If required by the IP Due Diligence Process (e.g. if the contribution exceeds 250 lines), the committer creates a CQ (including the URL of the ref), attaches a patch, and waits for "check in" permission
- Project committer merges the pull request back into the eclipse.org project git repository.
- The "Committer" name and email in the Git commit record must be set to the committer's information. The "email" field must be the Eclipse committer ID, or the committer email address as recorded for the committer account at the Eclipse Foundation. See Committing and Pushing for more information.
- The "Author" name and email in the Git commit record must be set to the contributor's information. See How do I change the author of a commit in git? for help.
- In simple cases, pull requests can be merged into your local Git repositories as follows:
- Add the contributor's Git repository as a remote, e.g. "git remote add <contributor-name> <contributor's repository URL>"
- Fetch the latest from the contributor's repository: "git fetch <contributor-name>"
- Cherry-pick the commit mentioned in the pull request: "git cherry-pick <hash of commit>"
- Confirm that the generated commit has the correct content, and the correct metadata: "git show HEAD", "git log --pretty=full"
- Project committer adds a comment on the Bugzilla record that includes URL pointers to the refs in the eclipse.org repository
- Project committer closes the bug.
Note that the automated IP Log generator has been updated to include contributions made through Git (see bug 327594). If Git contributions have the author field correctly set, there is no need to mark the Bugzilla entry iplog+; in fact, doing so may result in redundant entries in the log.
The process changes a bit for projects that use Gerrit Code Review.
- A user may have multiple email addresses registered with Gerrit;
- All of these addresses can be used to identify the user (generally via the Author Email field).
- Contributor must create an account on eclipse.org and agree to the Contributor Agreement;
- Contributor creates a Git commit:
- Comment field contains reference to the Bugzilla record (e.g. Bug 12345); and
- Author email address is set to a address registered to the author in Gerrit.
- Contributor pushes their commit to the Git/Gerrit repository;
- Contributor asserts on the corresponding bug or in a Gerrit comment that they:
- authored 100% the content they are contributing
- have the rights to donate the content to EPL
- contribute the content under the EPL
- Project committer triages the commit
- If a CQ is required, the committer creates a CQ and attaches a patch generated from the Git commit; and
- When approved, committer reflects approval on the Gerrit record (i.e. they flip the IP bit on);
- Required number of committers approve the commit (this may vary by project);
- Commit is merged into an appropriate branch by the committer

This article or section needs more/new/more-detailed sources to conform to a higher standard and to provide proof for claims made.

|Images of Arien
- "Too bright were the eyes of Arien for even the Eldar to look on, and leaving Valinor she forsook the form and raiment which like the Valar she had worn there, and she was as a naked flame, terrible in the fullness of her splendor."
- ― "Of the Sun and Moon and the Hiding of Valinor"
Arien (Q, pron. [ˈari.en], stem Ariend-) was a Maia who guided the Sun.
After the destruction of the Two Trees, Arien, a Maia was chosen by the Valar to guide a vessel made by Aulë which held the last fruit of Laurelin above the airs of Arda. This vessel was of course the Sun. In the days of the Two Trees Arien had tended Laurelin and was a spirit of fire, not unlike Balrogs before their downfall to shadow thanks to Melkor. She was therefore able to stand the heats of the Sun. It is said that she was mightier than Tilion, the Maia chosen to guide the Moon, who loved her and followed her through the night sky sometimes catching up to her and becoming burned and blackend by her heat.
Other Versions of the Legendarium
In other writings, Morgoth wanted to claim Arien as a wife, and ravished her, upon which she abandoned her body and "died", leaving the Sun to travel through the skies uncontrollably and burning parts of Arda the world. As well, it is stated in other abandoned writings that she was a Maia of Varda. It is not clear if it was Tolkien's intent to keep these elements in The Silmarillion tradition, had he lived long enough to publish it.
Arien means "Maiden of Sunlight" in Quenya, from árë "sunlight" and -ien feminine suffix.
Since Arien is connected to the "daisy" (corruption of day's eye), it is possible that the name comes from árë + hen "eye".[source?]
