Mixed Berry Galette in a Corn Meal and Coconut Oil Crust

Mix berries with sugar and lemon juice (Strawberries and Blueberries here) and set aside.

Preheat oven to 400*.

For the crust: combine 1 cup White Corn Meal, 1/3 c AP Flour, approx 6 Tbps Coconut oil with a pastry blender. Once beaded, add ice cold water 1 Tbsp at a time, stirring, until dough starts to stick together (I used approx 4-5 Tbsp)

Roll dough into a disk, wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

Roll out flat on parchment paper, add berries in the middle and fold in edges to make traditional galette shape. Take entire galette and place in a pie plate (keeps juices from running everywhere when baking).

Brush crust with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar. Bake at 400* until golden, approximately 45 minutes...

Messy and delicious! ?

pesto pasta

Serves 4-6 people as an entree

for the pesto

  • 2 cups basil, packed
  • 1 cup arugula, packed
  • 1 clove of garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoons salt
  • a pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup really good olive oil

for the pasta

  • 3/4 pound fusilli or another short pasta
  • several tablespoons of sea salt (for the pasta water)
  • 1 cup of peas (fresh or frozen, defrosted if they are frozen)
  • a couple of handfuls of fresh arugula, chopped
  • some parmesan to grate over top
  1. Make the pesto. Place all of the ingredients, expect for the olive oil, into a food processor. Pulse a few times, then while the food processor is running continuously add in the olive oil in a slow and steady stream until it is emulsified and you have the consistency you like. I find it is usually perfect at around 1/2 cup. Taste and adjust any seasoning accordingly.
  2. Place your pesto into a small bowl (or an airtight container) and place in the fridge until you're ready to dress the pasta.
  3. Cook the pasta according to the package, but be sure to add several tablespoons of salt to the water to season the pasta, and also drain the pasta 1-2 minutes prior to the time recommended on the package to ensure you achieve a more al dente texture.
  4. Place the cooked pasta into a large serving bowl and toss with the pesto. Add the peas, fresh arugula, and parmesan on top and serve.

White Chocolate Bread Pudding

Author Notes: Whenever my husband and I are perusing menus and spot "bread pudding", there is an unspoken agreement between us that we will split an order for dessert. It's pretty difficult to make bad bread pudding, so we are seldom disappointed...I developed this recipe five or so years ago from one in our local newspaper. I have substituted brioche for white bread, adjusted the spices and flavoring, reduced the butter and sugar and altered the assembly of the pudding. Try to use the best white chocolate you can get your hands on. I ran out to our local Whole Foods and bought their only offering, "callebaut".
This is a rich pudding that serves a crowd -or two bread pudding junkies, with mucho left-overs.

Makes 10 servings

  • one loaf day-old brioche, crusts removed and cut into one inch chunks.
  • one stick unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup white sugar or organic cane sugar
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • one and 1/2 cups whole milk, slightly warmed
  • two teaspoons vanilla,
  • one teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • 12 ounces white chocolate, cut into 1/4 inch chunks
  • two and 1/2 cups heavy cream
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place brioche cubes on a sheet pan and toast in the oven until crisp. (You can do this while the oven is preheating).
  2. Beat the softened butter and sugar together. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Add the warmed milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the cream.
  3. Layer half the toasted brioche in a buttered 9 X 13 inch glass or ceramic baking dish. Pour half the custard over the bread. Sprinkle with half the chocolate. Layer with remaining brioche and press mixture into the custard. Add the second half of the chocolate. Finish up with the last of the custard and press down once again.
  4. Bake for 40 minutes. Cool and serve.

Arcam irDAC-II. Have you heard the news?

Arcam has developed an new "r" series DAC. The new irDAC-II. My guy in Cincinnati tells me Arcam will be taking orders soon. It will include the ESS ES9016 Sabre DAC, Bluetooth, 24 bit / 192 kHz even 383 kHz. DSD and a headphone amp. The unit will cost around $799.00 usd.

I've heard all of the incarnations of the "r" series DAC's and I'm looking forward to hearing this one too! Anyone else?

And, of course, it is MQA enabled?
It will include the ESS ES9016 Sabre DAC
ach, the wrong kind of DAC IC (delta-sigma DAC) as far as I'm concerned. Not interested, thank you!

According to Arcam, the new IRDAC 2 will not support MQA.

nutty, if you have a chance would you give me your opinion of a comparison between the rDac and the irDAC. I'm currently using the rDAC and thinking about grabbing an irDAC before stock runs out.

I first hooked the rDAC to my Rotel RCD991AE cd player via the coax ouput. It really improved the sound immediately. I remember the Wolfson 8741 DAC being warmer. The irDAC with the Burr Brown 1796 DAC has more detail.

Connectivity is better.
2 coax inputs (instead of 1)
2 optical inputs ( instead of 1)
Still incorporates the USB
They added a coax output and a remote.

Im currently borrowing a Arcam CD93T from a friend. It has 24/192kHz upsampling and 4 Woflson 8741 DAC's per channel. It is smooth. Hope it helps.

Thanks, nutty. Good info. I enjoy the rDAC very much. I'll have to try to get a listen to the irDAC to see if it would be worth making a move.

    Flash not working on videos?  Can't access settings

      I am using Windows 7 64 bit, IE 9, Adobe Flash player 11 ActiveX 64 bit,

      Main issue is flash doesn't work on certain sites.  Walgreens photo, a holiday card I received in email and GIS site.  Typically these sites are just blank, sometimes when moving my ouse over the walgreens photo create a calendar page, it will show some images, but they quickly disappear.  I think those would be considered videos, I apologize for not being the most computer savy.  I have looked over the forums and have uninstalled, installed over and over again.  I have even tried to compare the flash settings to that of a computer which does work, but when I right click on a flash image and click settings, nothing pops up.  I have turned the pop up blocker off, disabled antivirus and firewall, everything.  If the settings box does pop up, it disappears the second I get near it.  I have used http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/index.html to access the flash player settings, but really I have no idea what they should be set at.

      Flash used to work fine but about 3 months ago I had to recover my harddrive from disk and since then I have been having issues with a lot of things, but this one is the most troubling.  And suggestions would be beneficial

Terrible ATT service in SW Florida

Terrible ATT service in SW Florida

What is going on with ATT cell service?  It has gone from bad (eastern Massachusetts) to worse, now that i'm near Fort Myers Florida.  I've been here 2 months and the problems are countless.  Among them:

--Being called by someone who cannot reach me 5 calls in a row, even though my phone is On and right beside me.  According to the caller, it just rings and rings until my voicemail picks up
--Constant disconnections, signalled by 3 beeps, even when the signal is 3 dots on my iPhone 5
--People calling me and going right to my voicemail, even though i'm awaiting their call, and my phone never rings
--The signal strength in this populated neighborhood varies constantly, from no signal, to 3 or 4 dots.
--I cannot make a phone call in my own one-story house!  I must step outside to attempt calls.
--When I call up 800 numbers, to deal with banks, or Comcast, or other big companies, WHY does the call disconnect as soon as the hold period ends (sometimes after 43 minutes of hold, for example!), about 2 seconds after a customer service person finally answers..  This has happened dozens of times.   Meanwhile I've gone from an iphone 4 to an iphone 5, but NOTHING has improved as a result

Re: Terrible ATT service in SW Florida

Hello @MaryAngerus

When you move to a new area, it might be a good idea to reset your network setting, it'll allow your device to reconnect to the Network and get the strongest signal possible. From your phone, go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset Network Settings. If you continue to experience issues, I recommend getting a new SIM card, it may help with reception quality, any corporate AT&T store can give you one for free.

Are you experiencind issues in certain areas or everywhere you go? For example if your service is bad at home, there might be some things affecting it that are out of any carriers control, for home reception, AT&T offers a device called Micro Cell.

And finally, please download a free Mark the Spot app to your phone, it allows you to report any network related issues directly to AT&T.

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thank you,

Re: Terrible ATT service in SW Florida

I very much appreciate your reply.  But the fact is, the reception is truly bad where I am, and while the other malfunctions happen in other localitites, they happen the most in this Fort Myers area.  I actually upgraded to an iPhone 5 ( from my 4) several weeks ago, including a brand new Sim card, and absolutely nothing improved.  I spent the last week in another area of Florida where the reception was much better, so I don't think it's the phone or the Sim card that's the problem.  ATT really needs to work on improving things here. Complaints about the service are widespread.

Pilot Brothers 2 HD for iPad Review – Hit that Hint Button!

Pilot Brothers 2 for iPad Review

Pilot Brothers 2 for iPad Review

I have to confess that I didn’t really ‘get’ the original Pilot Brothers game, but by the end I enjoyed myself and was able to recommend the game to others. I still never really followed what was going on, or the reasoning behind the different capabilities for each brother, but the charm of the presentation and the overall fun and challenge won me over. Now that Pilot Brothers 2 is out, will I enjoy it as much?

Type of app: Puzzle Adventure game
Platform/where to buy: iPad (iPhone version here); available in the App Store

Developer: 1C Wireless / G5 Entertainment
Features include:
? Master a variety of stimulating settings
? Play a bunch of fast-paced mini-games
? Enjoy the whimsical storyline and characters
? New iPad Retina Display Support
? Game Center Support

Pilot Brothers 2 HD

Major features: As a reminder, while the Pilot Brothers are not well-known in the U.S., they have quite a following in Russia. As a result they need to win us over without any background. The pair of brothers fall into the stereotypical combo that goes all the way back to even before Abbot and Costello – you have the smart and sensible ‘Chief’, and the bungling yet effective ‘Colleague’. And once again you have a mystery to catch a thief – only this time it is personal: while the brothers are playing a bizarre hybrid of chess and checkers, someone steals their cat!

The gameplay mechanics are fairly typical for the genre – point and click to complete actions. But here you have two characters, and need to swap which one is in control to get things done. Very few things are obvious as you proceed, but there are a few such as elements based on strength or dexterity, but other combinations require you to solve something with Chief, then DO something with Colleague and so on. Having arcade-style mini-games interspersed with the adventure was a change of pace from most genre games.

The visual style is … quirky, just like the first game. It is very much a cartoon game, with a rather simplistic artistic style. The game uses the Retina display in terms of resolution and to make things distinct and visible – but I would never call the graphics ‘gorgeous’. Even on the iPad Mini it looks ‘low-res’.

Pilot Brothers 2 HD

Ease of use/Overall performance:

Let me frame the guidance you get figuring things out – the tutorial consists of being told to pick up cheese in a shop, and then to place it on a counter … and then ‘good luck’! You immediately need the hint system, and after a few times hoping for the clues to make sense, you recall that you came here because of the pursuit of a witness to the crime!

Would use again/recommend?: Not really! I hoped I would like this based on the first game, but I found there to be less story, less direction, and less sense to the puzzles and approaches to getting stuff done. I felt like the hint button was the most tapped area in the game, which for me made it a frustrating experience.

Suggested changes/wish list for updates: There is nothing they could do .

Homeland Security - Every American Can Help

Today's Presidential Action

-    Americans are looking for ways to get involved in the war against terrorism on the home front.  The President announced two new initiatives today to give citizens new opportunities to support Homeland Security efforts, and to help every American better prepare to respond to terrorist attacks.

-    The President announced that the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) will support homeland security in the coming year in three major areas: public safety; public health; and disaster mitigation and preparedness.  CNCS proposes to mobilize more than 20,000 Senior Corps and AmeriCorps participants in FY 2002 to support these efforts.

-    President Bush also created the Presidential Task Force on Citizen Preparedness in the War Against Terrorism.  Within 40 days, the Task Force will make recommendations to help prepare Americans in their homes, neighborhoods, schools, workplaces, places of worship and public places from the potential consequences of terrorist attacks.  The Task Force will also recommend ways for Americans to support local officials, including  in police departments, fire departments and community health centers, who are often the first to respond to a terrorist attack.  The Task Force will be co-chaired by the President's Homeland Security and Domestic Policy advisers and will consist of the relevant Federal agency heads.

Background on New Service Options to Support Homeland Security

-    Supporting Public Safety: CNCS proposes to provide more than 10,000 additional Senior Corps and AmeriCorps participants to support police departments, fire departments, and other local agencies such as parks and recreation departments.  These participants would free up local personnel to meet their front line responsibilities by performing administrative tasks and other functions that can be performed by non-commissioned officers.

-    Supporting Public Healh:  CNCS proposes to provide more than 5,000 additional Senior Corps and AmeriCorps members to support public health agencies in outreach and information dissemination and administrative support.  Resources will be targeted at low-income communities.

-    Supporting Disaster Preparedness: CNCS proposes to provide more than 5,000 additional Senior Corps and AmeriCorps participants in disaster preparedness and mitigation.  AmeriCorps and Senior Corps volunteers have a long track record of working with FEMA and other relief agencies in helping communities to respond to disasters.

  • Tom- Nick is in awe of Tom.. "enorumus" but, suggest too much so thing is dangerous.
  • "cruel body"- suggest Tom can be violent- chapter 2 breaks Mertyles nose.
  • dominant character-  he stood "wtih his legs apart on the front porch".
  • Daisy- is "charming" relfects how in awe Gatsby later of her chapter 8 "her voice is full of money".
  • She is described to be "buoyed up as though upon an anchored balloon", she is full of nonsenses- " p..paralysied with happiness"- prentence of innocence.
1 of 11

Chapter one- cont.

  • Gatsbys house- symbol of Gatsby himself, we learn about him without actualy being introduced to his charcater- represents new money.
  • house is "new", a replic of the "Hotel de ville in Normandy"- reflects Gatsbys fake identity revealed in chapter...
  • Buchanan's house- represents aristocrates- "Georgian Colonial mansion" an orginal old American family, WASP, house is connected to land "...when it reached the house drifting up the side in bright vines".
  • Divison of classes relfected though desciprtions of houses "seperated only by courtsy bay".  This highlights that Gatsby will never fit in with the Buchanas and in chapter... Daisy will choose Tom not Gatsby.

Chapter 3-

Pin the story down:

Fitzgerald uses chapter 3 of TGG to introduce Gatsby durring one of his famous parties and develop his illousive character.

Voice: contrast between Gatsbys voice and that of his party guests.

  • Women at the party are shallow "I never care what I do, so I always have a good time".
  • Guests arent trustworthy: "dont you know who we are"
  • Contrasts Gatsbys repetition of "old sport" reinforces his term of education at Oxfrod, reinforces illusion.  Also shows kindeness contradicting rumors from guests "nephew to Von Hindenburg". - guests dont know Gatsby.
  • Gatsby is using the partys and its guests as an ilussion to find Daisy- discovered later.

4 of 11

Chapter four- cont.

Setting: uses setting to show how subverted and disjointed soicety is:

  • start of chpater follows Gatsby and Nicks journey into New york.
  • Nick: "anythting can happen now"- contarsts cultres of the "eggs", normal rules of society are chnage/ adapted e.g. "white chauffer" drives "three modish negros".
  • Reflects Tom's affiar with Mertyle, Gatsby money as a bootlegger (chapter 7 and 9), and the events of chapter 7.
  • Modern society of city contratdicts tradtional background of Buchanans, challange of power pushes forward events and pre-emept chapter 7.
5 of 11

Chapter five

Pin the story down:

Fitgerlqad uses chapter five of TGG to reunite the characters of Gatsby and Daisy. Although there is an expected climax this isn't met and may pre-empt Gastby's dream wont live upto realtiy.

6 of 11

Chapter five- cont.

Time and sequence: to develop Gatsbys character

Setting: describe Gatsbys personality:

  • Gatsbys house specticle: "blazing with light..  f.rom tower to cellar".- materlaism and obbsession wiht the dream.
  • "afraid for a moment that (Nicks) house was on fire" due to lights from Gatsbys- light spreading from Gatsbys house like Gatsbys beliefs onto Nick.

Chapter six

Pin down the story:

Fitzgerald uses chapter six of TGG to reveal Gatsby's life story and reveal his obssesion, focusing on the social differnces between Gatsby and Daisy which suggests that they are not compatible.

Physics P2 - Fuels for power

HideShow resource information

The heat energy for power stations comes from a variety of sources. Some of these are non-renewable, such as oil, coal, natural gas and nuclear fuels. Others are renewable, such as wood, straw and manure.

The cost of electricity depends on the power rating of the appliance used, how long it is used for, and the price of a unit of electricity.

Fossil fuels

Coal and oil release sulfur dioxide gas when they burn, which causes breathing problems for living creatures and contributes to acid rain.

Nuclear Power

If there is an accident, large amounts of radioactive material could be released into the environment. In addition, nuclear waste remains radioactive and is hazardous to health for thousands of years. It must be stored safely.

Unlike fossil fuels, nuclear fuels do not produce carbon dioxide or sulfur dioxide when they are used.

Renewable biomass

Wood, straw and manure are cheap and a readily available source of energy. If trees and crops crops are replaced, biomass can be a long-term, sustainable energy source. However, a lot

Ubuntu and Android make for a mobile one-two punch

Canonical plans to turn future Android phones into Ubuntu desktops, which could eliminate the need to carry a laptop. The company announced the news on Tuesday and will be demonstrating the solution later this month at the Mobile World Congress. The idea of using a docked phone as a full-fledged desktop computer isn’t new, but Canonical is well suited to make the concept work.

The theory behind the idea is simple. When using the phone for typical handset functions, it works like any other Android(s goog) phone. But place that phone in a dock that’s connected to a monitor and keyboard, and the phone powers an Ubuntu PC. The interface and features would be identical to a full desktop computer that has the Ubuntu operating system installed on it. Even better is the data access between the two platforms, says Canonical:

All data and services are shared between the Ubuntu and Android environments, which run simultaneously on the device. So Android applications such as contacts, telephony and SMS/MMS messaging are accessible from the Ubuntu interface. Indeed, all data on the smartphone can be accessed at any time, docked or not.

As I noted, this idea isn’t new. Most recently, Motorola(s mmi) attempted to implement it a year ago with its Atrix 4G smartphone and lapdock hardware. But the theory was better than the implementation, based on my usage. As a “laptop,” the system was sluggish and very limited: only web applications could be installed in Motorola’s customized version of Linux. I haven’t seen any mention of installable apps for Canonical’s solution, but there are a number of useful pre-installed apps.

Another key here is that Canonical has more experience that most with Linux implementations as Ubuntu is arguably the most-used Linux distro. That means it will likely have answers to any problems that Motorola faced with its attempt.

And the timing of this move is right for Canonical. I’ve been wondering if we really need the quad-core chips that are coming soon to smartphones — for phone activities and apps, I’m not sold. But phones that become traditional desktops have the potential to benefit from the extra processing power.

Option2: take an 11″ air, remove the keyboard, move all other ports to the screen, the hit the shrink button as much as possible. Allow this to be docked, and then sell for the same price as an asus transformer.
Or even better, take a Mac mini and add a battery and a small screen, delete extra drive bay and reduce the disk to the same SSD as in the air 8)

The issue with these is the OS. Even though Linux maybe cross platform, but not all x86 apps are going to compile well for ARM without major work.

Chris Kenyon

Kevin, Any of the 2500 + apps compiled for Ubuntu can be installed on a phone in this configuration.

App developers who need guidance on how to do this can learn more at http://developer.ubuntu.com/.

Chris Kenyon

Kevin N

I was wondering about this. But Chris, aren’t the vast majority of compiled apps compiled for x86? I can see this being really interesting when Intel has competitive (in performance and battery life) smartphone chips. Until then, do we depend on developers to port to ARM? Or is that automated somehow?

When it comes to the absolute vast majority of apps on Ubuntu, they are open source and compiled and packaged by the Ubuntu community. It would be up to Canonical and the Ubuntu community to provide them for ARM. It’s the handful of closed-source software that could be a problem if developers refuse to port to ARM, but then that software doesn’t seem to be the most important as most of it is games.

Community of Canyon trying to save post office

MONTCLARION: August 17, 2012

Canyon — the whole town revolves around two buildings, the school and the post office, and the post office is slated for dramatic cuts in service and the elimination of its longtime postmaster (or in this case, postmistress).

You’d half-expect there to be a protest. After all, Canyon is known for its countercultural roots. Many of the folks moved to the nearby unincorporated community from Berkeley and had ties to the Vietnam War protests. But instead, the town is taking a different tack. They’re working within the system by pointing out the post office’s assets and historical importance.

Canyon residents are hosting a celebration Saturday, August 25, at 10 a.m. to mark 90 years of postal service in the redwoods. Along with food and music, fans of the post office can get a cancellation stamp on their mail that day — designed by a local artist and complete with a pictorial rendering of the building.

Bringing customers to Canyon is the townsfolks’ new plan. Their figures show that more than a million people live within a short distance of their sleepy enclave and there’s potential for the post office to make a profit. I’m not sure I like the idea of more cars on that scenic, switchback road, but I sure don’t want to see the post office close. In any case, 90 years is noteworthy, and if you’re a fan of the post office like I am be sure to stop by and show your support.

Montclair muses: Thanks to reader SandyLevensaler for her “shout out” on David Bolduc and his new business, Golden State Fitness. She says when she first stopped by, she thought it was for buffed bodies only but discovered they tailor their workouts for every age and body.

Speaking of the Village, reader Kelly Friedman disagrees with the premise that it’s up to the local community to support the Montclair business district. “Why is it always up to the consumer to open their wallets to save the day?” she writes. “The elephants in the room here are the landlords who price small business out of the area.”

And finally, the meows have it when it comes to comments about my column on Montclair’s new cat mayor. Readers say they’re happy to have a leader who’s strong but also a pussycat.

“Give me the quiet, self-contained dignity of a cat any day, instead of a dog’s slobbering servility,” writes Susan Martin. And while Susan doesn’t suggest bringing your cat on your outings, she does say she’s tired of dogs blocking the sidewalk outside her favorite coffee shop.

Happy Wanderer: Northern California Christmas trains offer magic rides back in time

Randy's TOL

Trains are to Christmas what chocolate bunnies are to Easter. They’re a symbol of a simpler time — when we looked at the holidays with childlike wonder. But not since “The Polar Express” hit the theaters has there been such strong interest in holiday train rides.

There are at least a half-dozen trains you can catch for a magical trip back in time this month. One of the most popular is the Train of Lights, which was started by Niles Canyon railroad enthusiasts more than two decades ago. Folks in Sunol saw the vintage trains merrily making their way through the canyon and started flagging them down for a ride. Now, hundreds of people pile on the Train of Lights when it runs on designated days through December. What a sight!

Into Sunset

The holiday train is nearly a quarter-mile long and glittering with thousands of twinkling lights. Families board the vintage cars with children in tow, holding steaming cups of hot chocolate. Inside, Santa makes the rounds from one car to another, posing with youngsters and punctuating the air with his signature “Ho, ho, ho.” Trains run from both Niles and Sunol every Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Tickets are $17 to $ 40 per seat and are available at www.ncry.org.

Further south, the Santa Cruz Holiday Lights Train brightens the streets of this popular beach town on weekends through Dec. 23. The Roaring Camp Railroad’s vintage excursion cars are decked out in baubles andboughs for this one-hour trip through town — with a brief stop at the North Pole to let Santa and Mrs. Claus hop aboard. The train features live entertainment and caroling along with free hot chocolate and cider. Tickets are $20-26 per seat and available at www.roaringcamp.com.

Young pajama-clad passengers are welcome on the Sacramento River Christmas Train, a two-hour ride out of Woodland with live entertainment for the kids. This year, they’re bringing the story “Morgan and the Magical Christmas Train” to life with live characters, including elves and a teddy bear. Tickets are $30-40 and available at www.sacramentorivertrain.com.

Don’t forget these other popular holiday train rides:

Sierra Railroad Christmas Train, Oakdale: $29 to $36 through Dec. 23. Tickets available at www.sierrarailroad.com.
Napa Valley Wine Train Santa Trains: $20 to $25 through Dec. 20. Tickets available at www.winetrains.com.
Skunk Train Christmas Train from Fort Bragg and Willits: $24 to $34 through Dec. 23. Tickets available at www.skunktrain.com.

There are a number of different Haskell IDE projects out there, whether they be standalone or plugins to existing IDEs. The goal of this project is to foster collaboration on components that can be shared among these various efforts. There is also a Haskell IDE Google Group for discussions.

For now, please edit this page and add any thoughts you like. As we get more information, I will refactor this into either a clearer structure or multiple pages.

Relevant efforts

  • Haskell parsing.
    • haskell-src-exts for many tools
    • GHC API for grabbing more detailed information (e.g., types)
    • ghc-mod
    • hdevtools
    • ariadne for go-to-definition (at this stage, in current file only)
  • Code building
    • cabal, cabal-dev, etc
  • Higher-level wrappers
  • Live code execution
    • yesod devel (upcoming library-based version)
  • Code templates
    • Currently we have yesod init
    • Likely want to create something more modular. Perhaps allow anyone to create a template at a URL and have it pulled in by the tool.
  • Code hinting
    • hlint
  • Code formatting
  • Documentation/searching
  • Refactoring

In general, I would like to try and build these tools as libraries with executable wrappers. This will allow pure-Haskell offerings to get the benefits of calling a library (type safety, purity, and performance) while allowing other non-Haskell codebases to access the code. I like the approach taken by buildwrapper of providing JSON output when possible.

As much as possible, it would be nice to avoid system dependencies. In some cases, we may need to have external tools/files (e.g., it seems that calling the GHC API from the same process can lead to memory leaks, so we may always need to spawn a separate process for it). Upstream changes I've noticed so far:

  • hlint seems to have some filesystem dependencies. Building an executable against the hlint library on one system and uploading elsewhere did not work.

We should strive to create wrappers which are as simple as possible, while still remaining general purpose enough to be useful for all projects.

April- Pet of The Week

Hi, my name is April and I am a two-month-old girl pup who is a Retriever mix.  I have a pretty tan coat.  I am looking out to Cape Ann to see if there might be someone out there who would like to adopt me.   I have a lot of energy and  lots to learn; but I am smart and eager to learn.  I am at the Cape Ann Animal Aid, currently located at 260 Main Street in Gloucester.

Please visit our site at CapeAnnAnimalAid and see all the upcoming events to take place this summer.

Have you purchased your brick for the walkway at the new shelter at Four Paws Lane in Gloucester?   The new shelter will be opening later this year.   I have to run, there is a stuffed toy on the floor that looks like it needs to be crewed on!

The Action Emergency Homeless Shelter is now accepting donations of the following items: Deodorant, razors, feminine products, men’s sneakers and boots (larger sizes preferred), men’s jeans (larger sizes preferred), and socks. Thank you for your support!

Flying Enterprises: Cape Ann Arts, Crafts and Literary Festivals of the early 1950s

Saturday, April 21 at 3:00 p.m.

Gloucester resident and local historian Mary Rhinelander McCarl will present this illustrated talk about the origins of the Cape Ann Festival of Arts (1952-1969). This program is included with admission; reservations are required. To make a reservation or for more information, please call (978)283-0455, x11 or email

In the early 1950s Cape Ann was full of graphic and sculptural artists, artisans in many media, writers of fiction, poets and playwrights. In 1952, thanks largely to the great sculptor Walker Hancock, the series of the Cape Ann Festival of Arts was begun. These Festivals lasted until 1969 and are well worth a whole series of talks, but in this talk Mary will concentrate on the first two years: 1952 and 1953.

Mary Rhinelander McCarl retired to Gloucester in 2001, having spent summers in the area since her birth in 1940. Her education includes degrees from Harvard College (a BA and an MA in History), Simmons College (an MLS) and UMass, Boston (an MA in History and Archives). She has served as the Assistant Curator of Manuscripts at the Genealogical Society and has been a volunteer at the Cape Ann Museum since 1988. Mary has a passionate interest in local history and is a dedicated researcher.

The Cape Ann Amateur Radio Association is sponsoring a National Weather Service Skywarn Severe Weather Spotter Training course this Saturday April 21st at the Lanesville Community Center on 8 Vulcan Street in Gloucester.This course is open to the public,there is no sign up needed and it is free of charge.The doors will open at 9:30 AM,the course starts at 10:00 AM and will run until 1:00 PM.This course is perfect for anyone who loves the outdoors and those who are interested in severe weather phenomena.

Conde, Conde and Camara: A Troika of Deceit Fixes New Date for Guinea’s Legislative Elections – July 8

March 2, 2012

A few days ago, Alhassane Conde (Guinea’s Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralization) announced that Guinea’s legislative elections would take place in May, assuring voters that everything was in place and ready to go.

Yesterday, Louceny Camara, president of Guinea’s electoral commission, announced that since the work of the CENI had been suspended during part of the dialogue talks, more time was needed to prepare for the legislative elections.  He suggested July 8.  Directly after the announcement, Alhassane Conde stated that July 8 was “doable.” Alpha Conde chimed in with a thumbs up. The obvious voice missing was the opposition which was not consulted about a new date beforehand. The opposition is meeting today, Friday, to form its position on the new date and will make an announcement later.

This Alpha Conde-Alhassane Conde-Louceny Camara troika treatment of the opposition is akin to cowboys in a bar room fight where an innocent person is thrown back and forth between them each making sure to land full-knuckle punches.

Do Guineans really want these three to plan anything on their behalf, much less legislative elections? The answer is a resounding “NO!” and for good reason.  A little background on each one tells the story:

Alpha Conde, president “selected”

Alpha Conde  assumed the role of head of state after stealing the 2010 presidential election with the assistance of the CENI president, Louceny Camara and the interim government. During the campaign, after the election, and into the presidency, Conde has been fire-breathing ethnic hatred, specifically against Foulahs. During the campaign, after a false story circulated that Foulahs had poisoned Malinkes at one of his rallies, Conde perpetuated the story which incited his followers. Malinkes  attacked and killed Foulahs as well as burned their homes and businesses in Siguiri and Kourousso. This forced thousands to flee from their towns which left them disenfranchised in the upcoming election because they were unable to return to their home voting stations on election day.

As president,on April 3, 2011, Conde ordered security forces to fire upon unarmed supporters of Cellou Diallo, his former opponent, who had gathered at the airport to welcome their leader home after a long stay abroad. Two were killed, scores were injured and several were arrested. After a few months in office, wouldn’t this have been a good time for Conde to be magnanimous and not interfere with the gathering?  More likely, Conde was concerned that images of a huge homecoming for Diallo would only serve to remind people that Diallo was the legitimate winner of the presidential election.

In July 2011, Conde claimed that his home was attacked in an attempt to assassinate him. The house was damaged, but Conde was not hurt, and to this day most Guineans do not believe it was a real attack. It appears that Conde used the “incident” as an excuse to round up Guineans, many Foulah.  One of the most high profile Guineans Conde targeted is the Vice-President of the UFDG opposition party, Bah Oury, who had to run for his life because Conde had sent the military to his house to kill him. To this day, Oury remains in exile.

On September 27, 2011, Conde ordered his forces, once again, to attack unarmed opposition supporters. Conde supplemented Guinean forces with Donzos, mercenaries from the Forest region.   At least four opposition members were killed, over 100 were injured and hundreds were arrested.

Wherever Conde goes his rhetoric is openly anti-Foulah. Lately, military and police have been involved in clandestine murders of Foulah. With Conde, the country sits on the precipice of an ethnic war.

Alhassane Conde, attack dog extraordinaire

Alhassane Conde, a less well-known figure, holds one of the most important positions in Guinea. He is the Minister of Territorial Administration and Decentralization (Interior Minister) and is able to stick his fingers into many pies, the latest of which is the legislative elections.  Conde also serves as the attack dog for the current administration and his primary targets are the opposition, and, in particular Foulahs.

In his most outrageous anti-Foulah statement, Conde said that Foulahs are not even Guineans and the UFDG opposition party is not in good standing, in fact, the UFDG has no status.

 Louceny Camara, head of the CENI and expert on committing election fraud

Louceny Camara is like a bad penny — he just keeps showing up.  Louceny Camara’s primary job in the CENI was to commit sufficient fraud have Alpha Conde declared president in November 2010. Louceny’s continued presence in the CENI is to commit sufficient fraud to insure that Alpha Conde achieves a majority in the Guinean legislature.

During the first round of the 2010 presidential election, Camara stole ballots from 109 voting stations in Ratoma and Matoto, areas where candidates Cellou Diallo and Sidya Toure had widespread support. If those votes had been properly included in the tallies, Diallo would have won the election outright in the first round. A UN observer told a human rights organization representative that he saw Camara abscond with the ballots and that he would be willing to testify to this fact. The ballots were found at Camara’s home. Diallo filed a complaint against Camara. On October 22, Camara was indicted, convicted and sentenced to one year in prison for election fraud. Of course, Camara has never seen the inside of a jail cell for these crimes — Alpha Conde has seen to that.  But, the point is, that Camara is a convicted felon judged guilty of massive election fraud and he remains the head of Guinea’s electoral council, the CENI.   This one fact should make it impossible for Guinea to hold an election.

In September 2010, Camara rigged a vote taken in the CENI to fill the post of president due to the death of the previous president.  Camara was announced the winner. Several fellow CENI members walked out in protest, claimed he paid some members to votes for him, and subsequently thirteen of the members submitted a petition to have him replaced. The Conde machine protected him.

Throughout the two rounds of the election, Camara was responsible for all manner of voter list, ballot box, vote counting fraud imaginable. During his watch, at least 33 election computers went missing and then re-appeared.  It is believed that these computers were sent out of the country to be tampered with in favor of Apha Conde.

Guinea Oye! will provide more background on Camara in a subsequent post.

The gross fraud associated with the CENI, the political machine used to “select” Alpha Conde as president, and the relentless ethnic bashing which permeated the election were well-known when the international community declared that Guinea had a free and fair election in 2010. Look what a travesty it led to: the man who lost the election arrives at the presidency without a mandate because of the circumstances of his “selection.”  To preserve himself, he has to command more and more election fraud and instill sufficient ethnic hatred to rally his forces so that they will do whatever is necessary to keep him in office.  The international community should not make the same mistake again. This time, looking the other way will only lead to ethnic cleansing.

Short of time? Birding enthusiast? Based out of Delhi? If the answer to all these questions is yes, then you have reached the right place! We bring to you The Complete Birding Calendar. Delhi's location is such that the mountains of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand and the wetlands of Punjab and Rajasthan are easily accessible. These regions have the richest birdlife in North India and abound with avi-fauna, both common and rare, especially in the migratory season when flocks of birds fly in from the North. Each of the following destinations have been so curated that you can visit them on long weekends because they are all less than 600 km from Delhi and less than 12 hrs of driving.

During the winter, over 200 species of birds, including some globally endangered species, flock here. Mauve hyacinths and pink lotus blooms cover large parts of the water body. Testudines Turtle and Smooth-coated otter thrive here. The Indus Dolphin, which is supposed to have become extinct, has been spotted here recently.

Knowledgeable guides will lead you on the walks. Not only is the festival an amalgamation of enthusiastic birders who are keen on protecting our feathery companions, it is also a wonderful melting pot of cultures that sometimes leads to innovative collaborations.
