Celebrity Pictures in Designer Jeans
Sarah Jessica Parker in Current/Elliott
Sarah Jessica Parker was seen on set of her movie I Don't Know How She Does it in New York. She wore a pair of the Current/Elliott Stiletto Skinny in Canteen Blue. The wash of these jeans is a really great wash. I think it has a light blue with some depth.
I cannot say that I am a fan of the fit of these jeans on her. She does pull them off really well though. I like that she kept it simple. Just the fit, I think, needs to be a bit slimmer. Click here to purchase these jeans at ShopBop for $135.
Justin Bieber in Levi's
Justin Bieber did a bit of shopping at Armani Exchange in Sunset Plaza in Los Angeles, California a few days ago while wearing a pair of cut off Levi's jeans. I'm usually not a fan of Justin's signature look but he changed it up here and I think it looks good!
A source at the store said "Justin was on a mission to find something to wear to this weekend's Teen Choice Awards", as he is nominated in five categories and his girlfriend, Selena Gomez, will also be performing. "Justin loved everything in the store, especially the linen shirts and cargo shorts," they said. I wonder if we sill see him in any of those items soon? Are you a fan of his style?

Alexa Chung in Vintage Levi's
Alexa Chung was seen out and about in New York city yesterday while wearing a very contrasting outfit. I can't say I like those sunglasses, I think they make the outfit look really weird actually.
Alexa wore a pair of vintage Levi's denim shorts with Converse and a red polka dot shirt. I do really like vintage Levi's, I think they are great for Summer. I found out a little while ago that Mulberry actually named their Alexa satchel bag after Alexa Chung. I never knew that before so I thought that was a really interesting bit of information! The Alexa bag is gorgeous! It's actually my favourite of their bags.

Heidi Klum in Paige Premium
Heidi Klum and her husband Seal continued their Spanish holiday with their children on the beach. Heidi kept an eye on the family as well as taking photos with her cell phone.
I was excited when I saw these shorts on her! They are a pair of Paige Premium Silverlake shorts in white and I think she looks fantastic in them! I love white denim shorts, there is something about them that just shouts summer and relaxation! Buy Paige shorts online at PaigeUSA.com.

Send us your Text From Last Night!
So help my penis see only you. Give him some attention as well.
The guy at the bar repeatedly told us he was an off duty cop from out of town, that to normal people would be the time where you stop asking him to smoke a blunt with us
As we were passing the joint around, people were dunking Jenga pieces in Vaseline and sticking them to the window. I also smoked weed with a girl that was in an above the influence commercial.
She legitimately thought I was hiding in the fridge, then she checked the second one to be sure
He walked straight into the wall, said "excuse me ma'am" and continued back to his dorm room.
We should drive around in your Jeep on snow days and get stoned while we help random strangers stuck in the snow. So much good karma.
Well I can't message him and be like "hey I was behind you in CVS a month ago and I remembered your last name and DOB and looked you up on fb and added you so wanna hang out"
Apparently coming home smelling like I took a bath in beer is frowned upon in this household. I'm so glad I don't actually live here.
Well, we could've been at the bar taking a shot everytime my rash spread. But Noooooo. You had to go out with your non- girlfriend. Lame.
I just remembered that last night I ate nachos off of someone else's table with a stranger
I received a text promising me sex if I drove to Memphis this weekend. Too bad for my penis that we're watching zombie movies and playing cards.
Today I left one job interview, showed up randomly at his house for a midday bootycall then left right after to attend my second job interview. I got both jobs
Get the cougar, get the cougar, get the cougar. Act like an injured baby deer. She will either eat you alive or nurse you back to health either way its still sex.
Just puke out the sadness. Like a fuckin dragon.
Old men love us. For they have fine taste and disturbing minds.
Will give head in exchange for a Netflix password. Serious inquiries only please.
Swear to god you say cuddle bunny one more time and honest to god I will sacrifice a bunny on the hood of your car
sending him nudies in gran's hospital bathroom. you?
I don't know man, I have to ask my girlfriend if I can borrow my balls from her purse.
Currently sitting in the movie theatre bathroom while she gives him a blowjob in the parking lot. Don't ever tell me I'm a bad friend.
I didn't even realize I grinded on a security guard last night. Shit. Did he at least like it?
You described pouring milk in your strawberry cereal as a glittering magnificent water fall, skimming over the mountain and little strawberry citizens.
Dad was on the deck drinking straight bourbon. He stopped, puked on his feet, and then continued drinking and talking about compound interest.
My g-ma saw your dick-pic and wants you to know I've got a keeper. She says her big whopper died in Korea. Good thing g-pa is still asleep.
Just got hit on by a 50 year old Englishman who is now swapping drunken racing stories with my mom. Live Mariachi band in the background. How's that for a wake?
Well am going to a strip club before sun down, I dont think anything good can come from that.
That's awesome and prob the first time you had an idea of what to do. I'm super proud of you Chelz

Waipio Valley task force bill moves ahead with amendments
A bill establishing a temporary working group to help the state acquire lands in Waipio Valley was passed by the state House committees on finance Wednesday with amendments.
SB 3063 creates an avenue for the purchase of land in the valley from the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, and establishes a working group to address issues of preservation in an area known as culturally and historically significant.
Senators Gilbert Kahele, D-Hilo, and Malama Solomon, representing areas in Hilo, Hamakua, Kohala, Waimea, Waikoloa and Kona, introduced the bill that was passed by the Senate in March.
The bill next heads to the House floor for a vote.
Prior to the House committee's amendments, SB 3063 proposed the 10-person working group consist largely of government or business-affiliated representatives, including a member from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, a chairperson of the Board of Land and Natural Resources, the president and chief executive of the Bishop Museum, a member of the Waipio Taro Farmers Association, an executive director of the agribusiness development corporation and the Hawaii County Mayor.
The latest version of the bill suggests the working group include members from the Kukuihaele-Waipio Community Association, The Waipio Taro Farmers Association, non-commercial taro farmers, The Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, Waipio Valley small land owners, Friends of the Future, Kanu o ka Aina Learning Center, Hawaii County Council, Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Mauna Kea soil and water conservation district, the legislature and the Waipio Valley kupuna.
The change came after community members in the valley submitted testimony about concerns they have regarding the legislation.
Jesse Keone Potter, president of the nonprofit group Pohaha I Ka Lani, an organization that works to preserve and restore indigenous Hawaiian culture, said the community at-large was "caught off guard" after catching wind of the bill from an article published in the Tribune-Herald in March.
Potter was among other Waipio Valley community members who submitted testimony April 2 recommending the bill be deferred.
"The trust of the community has already been breached by the top-down approach this bill has taken. We are unaware of any efforts to gather input from the whole community and vested interests in Waipio prior to the bill being written and through it's entire journey from the Senate to the House," according to his testimony found online.
Potter said he was pleased to see the latest version of the bill include changes to the proposed working group.
"We are pleased that there has been shift in the working group members towards the community of Waipio and other surrounding and relevant organizations," he said. "There are still changes to come, yet at least the community has possibly gained a voice in the process."
Kahele, who said he's been working on the bill with Solomon, said if the bill passes he intends to address the concerns of the community.
"If it goes through then we will certainly get back to the community and those that have concerns," he said.
According to the bill, the working group will develop an action plan that explores and identifies important natural, cultural and historic resources for protection at Waipio Valley and identifies conservation options for the protection of the resources, including the purchase of land in the valley.
The working group will also submit a written final action plan with recommendations to lawmakers no later than 20 days prior to the convening of the 2015 regular legislative session.

I'm from Canada, famous for our politeness and our filthy, environment-destroying tar sand oil which nobody likes and few believe we should use but which we are choosing to anyway because there's a quick buck to be made there somewhere. I'd say we should think of the children and the future they get to live in when engaging in something like this but that type of thinking has kind of gone out of fashion so let's just roll with the assumption we should mine and try to sell this dirty bitumen to whomever wants it. Canada is relatively resistant to climate change side-effects anyway so this insanity has a sort of strategic, a**hole logic to it. The question thus becomes: Is the province of Alberta, where most of the bitumen is, and Canada getting a fair shake from the destructive extraction and sale of this non-renewable resource?
The answer seems to be no. Canada makes about 6 and half bucks in royalties per barrel of bitumen while the barrels sell for $76 as of January this year. The operating cost per barrel is around $20, at least for the Cenovus Christina Lake which is not particularly different from most of the operations. Thus, profit per individual barrels is about $51. (1)
Not bad considering they don't even actually have to pay even that in royalties until their initial investments are repaid. Former premier Lougheed of Alberta was able to get 40% of resource revenues back during his reign between '71 and '85. As of 2011, that number has fallen to 9%. Canada is quite ridiculous when it comes to allowing our provinces to compete with each other in the hunt for investment. When former premier Ralph Klein tried to get between 20 and 25% in royalties, oil companies threatened to flee to the neighboring province of Saskatchewan and British Columbia. (2) For some reason, Canada has no rules against racing to the bottom in royalty rates despite the fact we all pay for it. The way things are now is like if a family store had each of its members trying to undercut each other by selling for less and less since they would personally get a dollar from the sale if they managed it. We have provincial transfers where money is shared between provinces anyway so this seems insane to me.
Basically, this system says to me that a change is required that will get me labelled as a socialist should I suggest it. I want the people of Canada to get 100% of royalties and private corporations, many of whom are involved being foreign owned, to get none. This of course means Canada would need its own oil company which would be publicly owned. Considering Canada just allowed Chinese government-controlled CNOOC Ltd to purchase Canadian-US owned Nexen Inc. and its operations in the Athabasca tar sands at higher than market price suggests maybe our suggested love of free enterprise is second to those of shareholder profits. (3) This is good because the shareholders that make up the Canadian taxpaying population love profits as well and would kind of like some in exchange for our bitumen. The investment funds may be difficult for Canada to round up without corporate help but compared to what is being lost, it's peanuts in the long term.
Now, I will of course get the usual cries of, "Hey, you get jobs and economic activity from it already plus the government would run it into the ground like it does with everything so just live with 9% royalties." A fair point I believe. The jobs and economic activity around the tar sands are nice. However, it seems worth mentioning that those would not go anywhere if the operations were undertaken by the government. People would still need to get the oil out of the ground so we can sell it and economic activity would still be necessary for the equipment to be available to do so.
As for the government being incompetent and forms of socialism historically failing, I believe there is much truth to that. Free-market capitalism, as theoretically understood at least if you do not feel it has ever really existed, does understand something socialism seems not to. This being positive incentives. Personal profit for owners and investors motivates efficiency while socialism tends to only rely on negative incentives in the form of threats and coercion if you don't do your job. This is bad for morale and breeds instability. Of course, capitalism also breeds problematic positive incentives in the form of doing evil and destructive things for profit like forming monopolies, mistreating employees, polluting, bribing politicians, and other behavior that is profitable but bad for society as a whole.
So the questions become, how do we get positive incentives for a public enterprise? How do we cut through the bureaucratic failings that occur when state employees, who are risking none of their own money but only that of the taxpayer in general, fail to be efficient and run something properly? And how do we do this without handing over most of the money to groups and individuals who feel they owe nothing to Canada and will generally invest and spend their profits away from the country?
The answer is pretty simple and I am surprised socialists don't use this concept more often. We make those in charge of the operation personally and correlatively to gain if it is undertaken well. In the same way major shareholders see something is run smoothly because it is their money on the line and their financial gain when it works, we create financial incentives for the individual or individuals in charge of the operation that only apply if it works. Hell, it could be set up so they receive no pay at all if certain criteria aren't met. Without going into technical details about the operations that I don't understand, I'm sure criteria on proper rate of return could be formed based on current operations. It needs to be high enough that it attracts real talent but compared to the vast billions in profits earned by the private companies and lost by Canada currently, it would definitely be much more affordable. A TED talk even puts forward the research that after a certain level, financial incentives actually decrease performance so it may not have to be mind-blowingly high to have the best people on the job. (4)
Like all good politics, it steals the best idea the opposition offers and applies it to itself. We would have the same style management that free-market enthusiasts insist on as being necessary without having to rip off Canadians. Now really, this can and should be applied to almost any public enterprise that can have its results objectively analyzed to ensure quality does not fall. The only danger really comes from public-sector unionization forcing up the cost which the private sector usually simply doesn't allow. Public-sector unions are disproportionately powerful in Canada and, without going into huge detail, have some inherent problems. First, they can strike and shut down the entire system if their roles are critical which can override democracy, essentially neutering the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. Second, that they are not self-correcting like in the private sector because the government generally will not collapse if they take too much since taxes can be raised on everyone else. Well, up to a point anyway. Third, the government already tends to treat its employees well since they help form compensation policy and government officials do not personally make more by underpaying or mistreating their employees. Fourth, as the public-sector unions are inherently in conflict with taxpayers, they seem to actually make people more critical of unions in general while really, private-sector unions are more necessary than ever in this age of neo-liberalism. Although there could potentially be problems with having government officials who make more for paying their employees less while trying to de-emphasize public-sector unions, the federal government could pass laws about minimal pay for certain positions based on industry standards that could negate this.
Really, it would be nice if public enterprise could be more efficient without having to pay a head honcho much more than anyone else involved but someone competent really does need to be in charge and totally accountable which costs money. And to be honest, the alternative of simply giving the wealth away to a privileged and already wealthy oil elite while our country runs deficits is getting a little hard to bare.

No beach, but wonderful pier with gazebo.
Corporate management was responsive to an email I sent explaining a staffing issue in the restaurant on Sunday night (7/6/14). The in-house restaurant furnished a very good breakfast buffet each morning. The breakfast has cooked and cold items and a waffle station.

Cons: To check in you have to go up the escalator and if you have big heavy suitcases that would be troublesome.
Location: The Back Bay area isn't crowded or congested as the Downtown area but still so accessible to everywhere via the T lines.
I really loved the location, close to the Trinity Church, Boston Public Library, two T lines (Green and Orange), high end shopping at the Copley Place and the Prudential Center and numerous restaurants.

Nice hotel in the perfect location.Posted Jul 5, 2016
Pros: The rooms are big and clean with very comfortable beds.
Cons: Can't think of anything.
Location: We chose this hotel because of it's location. It is surrounded by fantastic restaurants, historical sites and easy transportation.
We have stayed at the hotel 3 times now and it never disappoints.

Very nice stay and great locationPosted Jul 5, 2016
Overall a great place to stay and fantastic location. However one concerning item was on our departure, at 3:30 am, they was not a single employee in the lobby or on the door so we could get no assistance but more so there was no security. Other than this it was great.

Very nice hotelPosted Jun 26, 2016
Pros: Convenience and nice hotel. Can park in public facility without valet and save $20/night, and get to hotel through the mall without going outside.
Had a nice two night stay. Room was nicely up to date, bathroom spacious and clean and upscale. Only complaint is that my room was right across from ice machine - which, when used by guests overnight, was quite noisy and woke me up.

PERFECTION!Posted May 23, 2016
Pros: Everything.
Cons: The bathtub was a bit slippery.
Location: Centrally located, within walking distance to all sorts of great restaurants and sites of interest. Couldn't be better situated for touring Boston!
The view from the 19th floor was postcard perfect. The facilities are first-rate. The staff from the doormen to room service are wonderful. Everything I tried on the room service menu was better than expected. The conference facilities and foodservice were first rate. One of the best hotel stays ever.

Tolles StadthotelPosted May 22, 2016
Sehr schönes und großes Zimmer mit King-size Bett. Starbucks im Hotelkomplex, kostenloser Starbucks Kaffee im Zimmer. Frühstück hatte ich nicht im Hotel. Verschiedene Hop On Hop Off in der Nähe genauso wie die Newport Street für Shopping wer mag. Tolle Stadt mit schönen Sehenswürdigkeiten. Wer Zeit hat kann ab Mitte/Ende Mai mit einer Fähre nach Provincetown fahren. Ist nicht ganz billig, Hin und Rückfahrt 88$ 90min Fahrzeit. Ich fand es toll. War aber mit dem Auto da die Fähre noch nicht fuhr.


text: Jonathan Atterbury Debut album now available! on iTunes! Dallas "Only A Man," Jonathan Atterbury's debut album has been a long time coming. Born in the land of palm trees and dreamers (aka Southern California), Jonathan Atterbury has been surrounded by music since birth. Jonathan was taught and encouraged by his family of musicians to love, study and appreciate the beauty and diversity of song. It was in this environment he learned to speak through music. At a very young age he began to play and study every instrument he could get his hands on, including guitar, bass, piano, drums and more. From teenage punk rock bands, to power-trio blues rock bands, Jonathan has been involved in a diverse and wide range of musical projects and it is through these experiences that Jonathan was able to develop his own personal sound, which is a seamless blend of rock, pop, folk and more. This album is the result of Jonathan's life-long love affair with music. Jonathan wrote, performed, produced and engineered every one of these songs and each one tells an integral part of his story. Having been influenced by every genre, Jonathan's music sounds familiar, but also new and exciting. When listening to these songs, one can hear the experience and maturity of someone who's seen his share of heartache, but also the youthful hope and optimism of a dreamer. The songs are a testament to the wide and complex range of human emotion, and one can listen to these songs and easily recall times when they've experienced these same feelings of triumph, love and sorrow and joy. "Only a man" is now available for purchase on iTunes and Amazon MP3 Please "like" my facebook page! Thank you!

In the dead of winter, when most good fresh fruit is a distant memory, oranges are a godsend. Juicy, sweet, and vibrant in color and flavor, they're sometimes the only bright spot in an otherwise sad and wilted supermarket-produce landscape.
Citrus Geographics
Oranges are cultivated in warm regions around the world, like Spain, Brazil, Mexico, India, and, domestically, Florida and California. There are three main types: sweet (including familiar navel and Valencia oranges), loose skinned (Mandarins, tangerines, and Clementines), and bitter (used to make marmalade and rarely seen fresh in American markets). Oranges are of course closely related to grapefruits, lemons, and limes; all belong to the genus Citrus, and all are technically berries.
Of all citrus, oranges are the sweetest, although they're still acidic enough to make an interesting, mild alternative to vinegar and lemon juice. I always use freshly squeezed orange juice for cooking and drinking; it invariably tastes far better than the kind you buy in cartons, and you can be sure that it's free of preservatives and additives.
Orange Zest
Orange peel (or zest) is also perfectly edible and can add great orange flavor to baked goods, stir-fries, soups, and salad dressings. Whether you're removing the zest with a sharp knife or with a grater (Microplane graters are perfect for oranges), be sure to leave behind the white pith-the Styrofoam-like layer between the peel and the flesh-which tastes bitter.
Segmenting Oranges
To make orange slices appear elegant by removing all traces of pith-a good idea when you're cooking with them-cut off both ends of the fruit with a chef's or serrated knife, stand the orange on one end, and cut off the skin in long strips, keeping your knife as close to the flesh as possible. If you want neat orange segments, cut between the membranes to separate the sections; for "wheels," slice the orange crosswise. (Either way of cutting an orange works for Black Beans with Crisp Pork and Orange, a Latin American-inspired dish that derives flavor from orange juice and zest in addition to orange segments.)
If you want to keep the orange mostly intact but make the segments easier to separate, just halve the orange around the equator and then use a paring knife to loosen the flesh from the skin and the membranes. Now you can serve the orange raw with a spoon-the peel acts conveniently as a serving vessel-or, for something a little fancier, you can broil sectioned orange halves to warm and gently caramelize their juices. Topping them with a little butter and sugar makes broiled oranges almost decadent; the optional addition of fresh ginger and shredded coconut gilds the lily. Broiled Oranges with Coconut and Ginger makes an easy, light dessert or a fabulous addition to a weekend brunch.

The King James Bible misrepresents the original Greek, which actually has Christ
telling Mary, "Don't cling to me," or, as the Joseph Smith
Translation puts it, "Hold me not." And, in fact, the Greek verb implies
that she was already clinging to him; in Greek, the Savior(Jesus) doesn't
tell her not to hold on to him but to stop doing so. True,this is why modern
translations are better:
Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to *the Father;(John 20:17NASB)
Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to *the Father;(John 20:17 ESV)
Jesus said , unto her, Hold me not, for not yet ascended to my=(tov*) Father.(John 20;17 JST)

New Yorker,Yes, Sharrona, that's the difference between the prophetic and
the scholastic. Maybe you're on the verge of discovering something.
Read the rest of verse 17J of John 20:17 KJV)…I ascend unto MY(mou) Father, and Your Father; and to MY(mou) God, and Your God.
God is father both of Christ and believers, but in a different senses.(see 1:12,14,18,34)Jesus has a unique relationship but believers are adopted into the family of God. But you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, 'Abba! Father!'" (Rom. 8:15)
Generically we are all created by the uncreated creator of all else, Acts 17:28 'For in him we live and move and have our being As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.
I have read several of Hugh Nibley's books, I suggest you read his definition of the word atonement and reconciliation. His Greek rendering of Ephesian 1:7-8 is unusual at best.

More than a year passed since Adobe decided to stop supporting Flex framework and gave it away to Apache Foundation. This writeup is based on the conversation I had with my colleague Anatole Tartakovsky in January of 2013. In this conversation I've been representing the HTML5 community while Anatole fought for Flex framework. I'm trying to find arguments against using FLex framework even though I believe that it remains the best and the most production way for developing Web applications. I'll be just playing devil's advocate here. Anatole also believes that Flex is the best framework available today, but in our company we often argue about the tools to use for various projects. We hope that Web developers find this conversation useful and thought provoking.
Yakov. If you read this blog, most likely you know about our company, Farata Systems. Our engineers work on both consulting projects and develop a product for our sister company SuranceBay that creates software for insurance industry. Technology-wise, we have three practices:
1. Rich Internet Applications using Apache Flex and Adobe AIR
2. Web application with HTML/JavaScript/CSS
3. eCommerce applications (we have about 20 Hybris developers)
On the server side we use nothing but Java. We're hiring people, but noticed that it's getting a lot more difficult to find experienced Flex developers. Last week we made an offer to a Flex developer, but before accepting it, he asked me to share my opinion about the future of Flex. He knows about our company and is glad that he'll be joining our team, but at the same time he's worried that Flex skills won't be a useful asset on his resume. I can read his mind, "I'll waste a couple of years doing Flex, but my classmates, colleagues and the rest of the progressive mankind will be studying HTML5. Is it worth it?" I did my job defending Flex, now it's your turn, Anatole, and I'll try to prove you wrong.
Anatole. As I just learned, I've been working with useless technologies for 30+ years, and every technology I liked is not in use anymore. In my opinion, Flex framework has no future.
Y. What a nice way to defend Flex! Do you want to say that your programmer's life was wasted?
A. I want to say that it was extremely interesting, but Flex has no future.
Y. Was this by M.Zhvanetsky who said, "Who cares about the soup if so much is going on in the kitchen"?
A. I'd rather say that Flex has no future, but it has the present. HTML5 has the future, but the present is dark and foggy. First, we need to decide if we live in the present or in the future. Second, it's very difficult to properly guess the technology worth studying and using. Of course, the tools that are popular on the market will win, but they will also lose by attracting legions of low paid developers. Besides, being unproductive these tools won't allow timely releases of high quality software. This leads to further degrading of software projects and programmers' pay. There is a high end market, where more expensive and rare tools are being used by well rounded developers. And there is mainstream that uses various versions of HTML, Visual Basic and the like. These tools were never highly productive, but their better competitors could not attract even a one tenth of the developers community. At some point the psychiatric situation on the market causes people to not pay attention to the good tools, but rather go with the flow.
Y. Our company is not a typical one – each of the owners remains highly technical, and we don't have any political reasons to select or reject any technology. Sure enough, we are very carefully monitoring the latest trends in the industry to be able to offer help in IT consulting. But we are down to earth people who want to deliver our own software as fast as possible without jeopardizing the quality of the product. You may be surprised, but new Flex projects are being started and the Flex-to-Flex redesigns are happening on the Wall Street – we continue getting requests for help. Such projects are typically run by smart and technically savvy managers who are not afraid to voice an opinion that may differ from the general software policy in their organiation. But an average manager does not want to take a risk and use a non-popular technology with a literally non-existent talent pool. Anatole is running the project where all developers know Flex and Java, and he's not planning to switch to a different set of technologies any time soon. Why do you prefer Flex and AIR.
A. I'm planning to switch and will do so, when I'll see a better than FLex technology that meets our needs. I agree to switch, but it's like "Tomorrow I'll marry the Queen of England. Half of this plan is accomplished – I agree". The problem is to find a replacement. IMO, technologies like HTML5 will change the style of programming and the resulting product too.
Y. After making such strong statements, you need to say something to improve your credibility. Please tell the audience what did you work on in the beginning of this century.
- a much more mature JSON that would support the skeleton generation on both sides
- a compiled JavaScript-like programming language (expecting to see it soon)
- an ability for creation of the finite state machine and CSS (give it another 2-3 years to appear)
Unfortunately, during the last seven years Flex didn't have competitors. HTML is the future, but it's a remote one. I don't see it real in the enterprise applications for at least two years, but more likely till 2016.
Y. You're talking about enterprise Web, not about small Web sites that can be easily developed in HTML5. All evangelists are happy to demo simple applications like Contact List to prove that HTML5 and their JavaScript framework is here to stay and is THE Framework to use. The rookie developers are often impressed by a demo of an HTML5 game moving objects using an HTML SVG element. To get cheap applauses at a Web conference you need to proclaim, "No more plugins like Flash or Silverlight. RIP!". It's even more effective than making fun of Internet Explorer.
A. True. If you want to write HTML5 application you need to seriously reevaluate what your application should be able to do. You'll need to simplify it. A typical enterprise Web application serves the consumers that don't use it anyway, and it also serves the professional business users that help consumers.
Y. Please don't just make such ungrounded statements. Explain, what this means.
A. This means that consumers spend very little time using these Web applications – they they don't use such applications from 9 to 5. These applications are being used on a weekly or monthly basis. The requirements for such applications are a lot simpler than for heavily used applications for professionals. The back office applications must increase productivity of business users and support a lot more functions. If you need to support wide variety of users, you'll need environments allowing configurable applications that can be compiled and support quick refactoring for the new class of users or when the business requirements change.
Y. I agree that refactoring in Flex is more advanced than in JavaScript, but what are the problems with configurable applications?
A. By configurable applications I mean the ability to quickly customize the application with the same code base to support more complex or more simple interface and security. It's not so easy to do with JavaScript, because it HTTP requests can be disassembled, you'll have to deal with security problems, the code becomes more difficult to understand without having the compiler's support.
Y. As far as I remember, Flash Player was also blamed for security holes, wasn't it? Besides, since HTML5 is a mainstream, all major browsers treat security issues very seriously and all security holes will be closed a lot faster than any single vendor like Adobe, Microsoft, or Oracle would do.
A. The roots of Adobe's security holes are in attempts to merge two incompatible security models of Acrobat and Flash Player. Now you can run Flash code inside PDF, which revealed security holes originated in incompatibility of the sandboxes. Most of these holes can be plugged by changing security settings of Acrobat and not by fixing Flash Player's errors. But overall, Flash Player has less security issues than infamous cross-scripting of Web browsers and the likes. We are able to create secure Flash applications that would certainly had security issues should they be written in HTML5. What I really miss in Flash Player is the ability to integrate with telephony and work with peripherals that exist in natural environments. Unfortunately, Flash Player is not evolving fast enough to support new technologies for input/output and the voice interface. The main problem of Flash Player is that it was literary frozen since 2008. During the last four years Adobe didn't do much to bring it up to date.
Y. It's been more than a year since Adobe announced that their main interests for Flash are games and videos. You can't expect any improvements in Flash for enterprise applications. Don't forger that Adobe remains the owner of Flash Player, and no matter how great the Apache Flex contributors are, their hands are tied – the runtime is out of their control. I don't like the way Adobe handled open sourcing of Flex, but they have business to run, and if they make money elsewhere, no one can force them to allocate proper resources to implement Flex and Flash Player improvements. Do you have any reasons to believe that Flex won't lag more and more behind HTML5 technically?
A. I don't have any hopes that Flex won't lag behind. So far Flex and Flash player is still far ahead – we still live in the future comparing to HTML5. Yes, HTML5 has some features that make it appealing for enterprise and mobile development, and it would be great if Flash Player would continue evolving in these directions too. The main reason why Flash Player is dying is that ten years ago Adobe rejected Apple's requests to create tools for their platform. Adobe considered this platform unproductive, and Apple had to recreate equivalents for all Adobe's products themselves. After that, Apple stopped allowing Adobe's products on their market. You can call it politics or personal vendetta, but unfortunately there is nothing you can do about it. Without Apple's support Adobe's tools will always have hard times. Will it change in the next couple of years? Not likely, unless the structure of both Adobe and Apple's management will change.
Y. Based on what I see, Adobe won't be willing to make steps toward Apple. Adobe prefers selling expensive and profitable software to corporations, and it's not likely that they'll return to Web browser's plugins that are not welcomed by majority of the developers.
A. This is true for the most part. But historically, there were precedents when spin-offs were created to purchase some of the software products from large companies. Adobe is not the first company specializing in milking old cows (making money from old products). I.e they don't improve some of their products, but purchase established third party companies and invest in cross-integration with their products charging the newly acquired customers for the new functionality. The chances are that non-profitable Flash platform can become a candidate for such a spin-off. Adobe might sell the Flash Player for a small chunk of cash to people who are interested in improving this technology. Unless this happens, Apache Flex is a still baby. I've attended several meetings in Apache Flex community, but I've yet to see people who can lead this community.
Y. There are lots of excellent Flex software developers in the world who could do it, but they simply can't afford it. As I said, there is not many companies that can continue using a technology based on its merits. Flex experts need to make a living and feed their families. They can't spread themselves thin doing both Flex and HTML5. They either work as independent contractors and want to keep their hourly rates high, or they work as enterprise employees and don't want to go against corporate IT policies. Read the article "A Decade of Spices has come to an End" by Jens Halm's, the creator of Parsley Flex framework. He basically says, "Sorry guys, I don't have time to support Parsley – need to move on with HTML5″. Majority of Flex developers think like Jens Halms – they need to stay focused on one major technology to keep their skills in demand.
Our company is in minority, but we are not afraid to become known as one of the last Flex shops. We believe in hiring well rounded developers that are open to adding Flex to their skill set understanding that in a couple of years they may need to learn something else. By the way, some of the people are still doing Cobol and dine in Michelin-starred restaurants on a regular basis. The if-statement exists in every programming language. In some cases you'll need to put a curly brace after if, and in some languages you need to write elseif as one word. Some languages support classical inheritance, and some – prototypal. This doesn't scare me, but it seems that lots of people are reluctant to accept that learning something new is a way of life of professional software developers.
Y. Did you have a chance to get familiar with the Microsoft's language TypeScript?
A. No matter what language will win, the conversion from ActionScript will be mechanical more or less. It all comes down to your way of thinking and to the level of complexity you can afford in a compiled environment vs interpreted one. There is a major difference in approaches to programming in ActionScript
Y. I don't agree with you. We didn't talk about the development for mobile devices. You are talking about programming in a comfortable ActionScript environment, but why not spend a couple of years learning HTML5 methodologies and tools that would allow today's Web developer digest the Mobile First concept, learn how to properly modularize JavaScript code, which frameworks to use in both desktop and mobile devices, what Responsive Design is about, is it possible to live with one code base for all devices or it's better go hybrid or even native, and on, and on, and on. This takes a lot of time, and, putting yourself in the shoes of that young developer, spending these couple of years in learning all this new world won't be a waste of time. By the way, in the book "The Enterprise Web Development" we show how to develop a Web application that will work in all devices from the same code. So I don't believe that developing in Flex for a couple of years will allow this guy just to change the hat and start writing HTML/XYZScript/CSS code. I'm sure that just working in your team would make him or her a well rounded developer, but it's not as obvious for other people.
A. If this developer would work in my team since 2006, he'd skip lots of frameworks like Mate or Parsley without losing much. People who say that their frameworks help in programming are the same that were promoting the Axe Soup before. One way or the other – good people is the solution. Frameworks rarely help. Tools do. HTML has a number of tools to test UI on different platforms. Similar tools were created for Flex and cross-platform CSS and skinning. But I don't believe in miracles. I haven't seen a single-code-base applications that work well on Android, iPhone, and desktop browsers.
Y. We need to compromise. In Flash Player applications you can choose pixel-perfect design: the user must have a 1024×768 viewport minus chrome and margins – my way or highway. But if you'll need to make this application work on highly fragmented Android market, on iOS, Blackbery, desktops, and other devices, ask yourself a simple question, "Do we have money to hire two-three teams for developing and supporting several versions of the application for different devices or we'd rather compromise, and push the HTML5-based product out the door?" Money talks in the enterprise unless your project has unlimited budget. But if you'll agree to compromise and move away from the pixel-perfect world accepting the fact that the Donate button will look a little bit different on different devices, go with the responsive design principles and have one code base. You'll provide different CSS sections that will automatically apply different layouts based on the screen (a.k.a. viewport) size, but the HTML and JavaScript will be the same. I know, this approach has drawbacks cause some portions of CSS will be loaded for nothing to any particular device, but it can be a practical business solution.
A. People who promote the same design for different platforms usually talk about publishing information and not about interactive applications. If you need to publish the information using different layout managers, responsive design will help. But enterprise applications often have more than one target audiences. Consumers need an easily downloadable application and Web browser works fine here. Mobile applications should be compiled either into the native code or into some byte code that performs close to the native one. But UI must be different based on the available screen real estate and use touch interface.
If you'll take any framework that works on both desktop and mobile devices you'll get two sets of controls and the need to maintain two different source code.
Y. Nobody forces you to use any framework – just stick to JavaScript and, maybe, non-intrusive jQuery components and plugins.
A. Without frameworks I'll have less UI controls to chose from. Frameworks may address the need in controls and convenience of UI.
Y. and browsers incompatibilities
A. Maybe. But when I hear that someone has the same codebase for the desktop browser and other devices, I want to see it and make suer that it doesn't falls into the publishing realm.
Y. Of course, the Boston Globe site is a classical example of responsive design in publishing. But we can even take an application that we use in our book – Save Sick Child http://enterprisewebbook.com/#_responsive_design_one_site_fits_all. We have five areas (div's) that include forms (a donation form or an online auction), each form is a separately loadable module, and if on the wide screen we could display three of these div's horizontally and two underneath, on the narrow screen each of these sections will be scaled down and displayed one under another. And this is not just a publishing application.
A. When I'm porting an application to a tablet 800×600 with UI having large controls and fonts, I need to think about this application as a service to minimize the need of data entry. Don't forget that half of the screen will be taken by a virtual keyboard, and if you ignore this, the user will have to work with your UI via a keyhole, and even these five separate div's may not fit. So I'll need to modify the UI and use the set of controls that will require minimal data entry. I don't want to give the same UI to the consumers and back-office users.
Y. I keep trying to bring the money into our conversation, but you are avoiding this subject. Sure, it's better to be healthy and wealthy, than poor and ill. But an most of the enterprise projects are poor and ill, i.e. have limited budget and not developers are not overqualified. Why a modern enterprise employs many low-qualified people is a subject of different conversation – let's not go there.
Coming back to my five div's, we can use CSS to hide what has to be hidden in certain devices, fonts can become larger, and we can use so called fluid grids to have our layout float. It may not be perfect, but it's a compromise.
A. You can't turn a truck into a car and then into a bike just using styling. I'm for complete redesign to use the features of a particular platform to its fullest. And the reason why IT has so many low qualified people is because these people allowed non-technical people to lower their qualification. We can help them to improve their qualification.
Y. Most people don't want it. They live comfortably with what they know.
A. You and I are sitting now in a lobby of a fancy hotel that differs from a motel, right? Why? Because we've decided that the service has to be well compensated. And people working in this hotel do their job well. There is always market for the high-end things, which were produced better then others of the same type. If you'll be producing low quality software, you'll hate your job, which will shorten your life. Why?
Y. I hear you, but don't agree with you. It's great that you and I can afford now (it may change) to work only with interesting projects. But many young programmers have a long way to go before they will establish themselves to pick what they really want to do. Id your message "Just do what you like and the day will come"?
A. If you need to work hard to establish yourself, why doing it where the crowd is? Do it in the unpopular areas.
Y. Most of the people prefer to walk on the paved roads. It's a reality.
A. Compare software and automotive industries. Some time ago you could have selected any car as long as it was black Ford of a certain model. Then General Motors started mass production of cars where people could select different models of different colors. By dong this they pushed Ford back. The software industry will go through the process of customization. We already reached the point when the software created for a certain enterprise is being replaced by a software-as-a-service (SAAS). The next task is not to create several versions of the same page with CSS, but understand what the user is doing with this page and to make it as convenient for the user as possible. If this will be happening, then software developers will transform into people who belong to service industries.
Y. I may disappoint you, but there were many attempts to cultivate a new creature – a cross of the user experience (UX) specialist and a software developer – it didn't happen. These are different people with different mindsets.
A. in the end the winning applications will be not the ones that will have nice looking design, but those that will do what the user needs and will do it conveniently.
I have to finish this rather large transcript although our conversation didn't stop here. Thank you for reading this far. I'm not going to give you a summary with recommendations or predictions of what tool or programming language is the best bet in today's development of the cross-platform UI. Pick what you like, dig deep, and enjoy your work. It'll pay off sooner or later.

This inquiry into the technical advances that shaped the 20th century follows the evolutions of all the principal innovations introduced before 1913 (as detailed in the first volume) as well as the origins and elaborations of all fundamental 20th century advances. The history of the 20th century is rooted in amazing technical advances of 1871-1913, but the century differs so remarkably from the preceding 100 years because of several unprecedented combinations. The 20th century had followed on the path defined during the half century preceding the beginning of World War I, but it has traveled along that path at a very different pace, with different ambitions and intents. The new century's developments elevated both the magnitudes of output and the spatial distribution of mass industrial production and to new and, in many ways, virtually incomparable levels. Twentieth century science and engineering conquered and perfected a number of fundamental challenges which remained unresolved before 1913, and which to many critics appeared insoluble. This book is organized in topical chapters dealing with electricity, engines, materials and syntheses, and information techniques. It concludes with an extended examination of contradictory consequences of our admirable technical progress by confronting the accomplishments and perils of systems that brought liberating simplicity as well as overwhelming complexity, that created unprecedented affluence and equally unprecedented economic gaps, that greatly increased both our security and fears as well as our understanding and ignorance, and that provided the means for greater protection of the biosphere while concurrently undermining some of the key biophysical foundations of life on Earth.
Transforming the Twentieth Century will offer a wide-ranging interdisciplinary appreciation of the undeniable technical foundations of the modern world as well as a multitude of welcome and worrisome consequences of these developments. It will combine scientific rigor with accessible writing, thoroughly illustrated by a large number of appropriate images that will include historical photographs and revealing charts of long-term trends.

Jose De La Torre shows he is in hunt for more permanent reliever role
|07.23.13 at 1:01 am ET
With the Red Sox close to the trade deadline and Andrew Miller and Andrew Bailey out for the rest of the season with injuries, the expectation is that the Red Sox will try to acquire a reliable relief pitcher to stabilize their bullpen as they make a push for the playoffs. However, Drake Britton and Pedro Beato both let Red Sox management know that they are ready to contribute when they each pitched a scoreless extra inning to help the Red Sox top the Yankees 8-7 Sunday night.
They are not the only youngsters making a name for themselves though, as rookie Jose De La Torre followed suit with what Britton and Beato in Monday night's loss to the Rays.
De La Torre only allowed one run while striking out three in 2 2/3 innings of relief Monday, and kept the Red Sox close with the Rays until the very end of the game.
'He is another young guy who is learning each time he goes to the mound, but tonight was probably the most impressive outing he has had for us,' Red Sox manager John Farrell said. 'His ability to attack the strike zone got some early outs and gave us two-plus innings of much needed relief.'
The performance was an important one for the Red Sox, even if they did not come back to at least tie the game. De La Torre chewed up nearly the rest of the game after starter Brandon Workman left the game after six innings, giving the bullpen a necessary rest.
De La Torre was the only member of the bullpen not used in Sunday night's win over the Yankees. So when he took the mound Monday night, finishing the game without another reliever having to pitch was a goal for him.
'In my head I was just ' 'Finish the game, I can do it,'' De La Torre said. 'I got two outs in the ninth. I just wanted to finish the game and give those guys a rest because they have been pitching a lot lately.'
Perhaps some of the success De La Torre had in the outing stemmed from his experience with facing the Rays lineup. In his five outings at the major league level, De La Torre has faced the Rays three times, allowing two runs on three hits through seven innings while striking out eight.
The 27-year-old first made an impression in the World Baseball Classic this past spring, when he struck out 12 batters through 5 2/3 innings while pitching for Puerto Rico. He kept that success going into his time with Triple-A Pawtucket this year, where he has a 1.74 ERA with 49 strikeouts through 41 1/3 innings pitched.
De La Torre said he is feeling more comfortable on the mound with each major league appearance. That is good news for the Red Sox, who have several internal options at relief pitcher ' including De La Torre, Britton, Beato, Steven Wright, and Rubby De La Rosa. That type of pitching depth is a testament to the quality of the Red Sox scouting department according to Beato.
'Obviously the scouting department here has done a great job of drafting a lot of great players, and it shows,' Beato said. 'It shows with the guys who are growing up here and the guys they are getting externally'¦ We just can control what we can and just get people out. After all this is said and done this is up to the front office to decide what they are going to do.'
