The term given to a friendship that weathers the storm only to do it again. They will tease, prank and keep each other up all night and yet all is forgiven in the morning. This friendship is fierce and not to be underestimated because they might take over the world. Undoubtedly one of the craziest friendship to be formed.

I watched the Angels/Dodgers spring training game Sunday on television.
It wasn't nearly as much fun as sitting in the stands at Tempe Diablo Stadium, the Angels' spring training home field in Tempe, Ariz., where I spent part of last week.
Cactus League games are not about winning. They are an opportunity for players to shape up and try to impress the coaches, for the coaches to evaluate them, and for fans to get up close and personal with their favorite players.
Kids toss balls and Sharpies to the players, who oblige with autographs and toss the balls back.
How fun for a kid to boast of catching a ball thrown by Jered Weaver?
Older fans aren't much more than about 20 rows from the field, either in seats or less expensive bleachers. And almost every foul ball ends up tossed into the stands.
Diablo Stadium seats 9,558, according to the official program. The 75-acre complex was built in 1968 for the Seattle Pilots and Milwaukee Braves and renovated in 2005. The Angels took it over in 1995 and have it leased to 2025.
There are six and a half practice fields, in addition to the main stadium, which sits atop a butte — a modest climb. The Angels have staff-driven golf-carts wheeling from the parking lot to the entrance for those with less-than-youthful legs or lungs.
For the stat-lovers (show me a baseball fan who isn't): An 8-foot fence protects the folks seated on the knoll behind left field. Those seats are a bargain at $10. Dead centerfield is 420 feet from home plate; the left and right power alleys are 400 feet away.
Not an Angels fan? Fifteen teams, including the Dodgers, play in or around Phoenix.
Of course, the big draw for the Angels is Albert Pujols. He gets up two or three times per game, before he heads for the clubhouse, signing autographs all the way.
Pujols' name is ubiquitous on souvenir plastic cups, seemingly every other banner that hangs from the lampposts lining the streets around Diablo, and on the cover and in featured stories in the program.
"The Machine" is so popular with the fans — even opposing-team supporters cheer him — I wouldn't be surprised to hear people jokingly call centerfielder Peter Bourjos, "Bourhos." The speedy centerfielder was already one of my favorites, but even more so since he publicly favored the Angels resigning Torii Hunter when his contract ends.
Hunter came into training camp trimmer than last year, but with that same great smile — second in the sports world only to Magic Johnson's.
I also had a chance to watch off-season acquisition C.J. Wilson pitch four solid innings against the Cincinnati Reds on March 13, as well as non-roster invitee, David Carpenter.
Other invitees who played in the Angels' 3-1 victory over the Reds included Alberto Rosario, who would also play against Cleveland the next day when newly signed catcher Chris Iannetta caught a foul ball with his elbow and left the game in the second inning.
There wasn't as much "red" in the stands March 15 when the Angels played Cleveland, winning 7-0.
The game started off with a pop. Angel shortstop Erick Eybar, who is still in contract negotiations, whacked a home run on the first pitch. Pujols, batting third, also hit a home run in the first inning and a double in the fifth inning to raise his batting average to .455 — it has tailed off slightly since then.
Mark Trumbo, who was knocked off of first base by the acquisition of Pujols, is trying to hone the skills needed at third base.
Management wants him in the lineup for his bat. Earlier in the week, he had smashed a ball over the left field knoll, estimated to go 500 feet.

Don't fret! Check out these suggested similar and related items below. Happy shopping!
Larenim Loose Foundation 14W
Larenim Loose Foundation 14W is a chestnut brown for medium-dark African-American skin tones. Larenim foundation is 100% natural and will not irritate your skin. Made with pure minerals, Larenim foundation will protect your skin while hiding blemishes and accenting your natural beauty.To start, lightly dip the Kabuki into the minerals and tap off the excess. Then, continue to brush the coating of minerals onto the face. There is not a special motion; simply cover your face with the minerals and repeat once or twice until you are happy with the coverage. You can go over any blemishes or ruddiness that is still visible with the Camouflage Oval brush using a slightly heavier application of the foundation. You can also use the Camouflage Oval brush to apply concealer or foundation around your eyes. Another tip is to mix a tiny bit of Larenim® foundation or concealer with a drop of jojoba oil using the Camouflage Oval or Camouflage Oval Grande brush to make a high-coverage concealer. Make sure you feather the edges of the applied concealer to create a natural effect. NOTE: All containers come with a clear seal on top of a sifter. The sifter controls the flow to prevent waste. Remove the seal altogether, or poke through some of the holes with a pin for lighter flow. Many products within the Larénim makeup line can be used together to create a naturally beautiful look for anyone and everyone. The first step is to start with a good Foundation and Blush combination. When looking at Foundation, you will notice that each color has a number and a letter. The letter refers to C for Cool, W for Warm or N for Neutral. The lower the number preceding the letter, the lighter in shade the foundation will be. For instance, 3-W will be lighter than 4-W.Pink Undertones & Fair Skin - Look for a foundation color in the C range.Yellow Undertones - Pick a foundation within the W range. Neutral (no distinct pink or yellow undertones) - Choose a foundation in the N range. How do I select a foundation? We strongly suggest purchasing a couple of different trial size colors. The "C's" (after the number) indicate "cool" colors with pink undertones while the "W's" indicate "warm" colors with yellow undertones. Many Caucasian women believe before trying them, that they will be a "C"ool. But the truth is that many of them look better with a "W"arm because they may have a lot of red in their skin. Reddish skin becomes beautifully minimized with a warm color. Test your foundation shade on your face; not your hand. Your hand will not give you an accurate depiction of how your color will look on your face. Wait at least ten minutes to decide if your shade is a good match - even if it initially looks like it is. Most foundations will deepen a little within ten to fifteen minutes of application.

Police say a woman was arrested after she refused to get out of the middle of Country Club Way and assaulted an officer on Wednesday afternoon.
Officers found 22-year-old Christine Carlos and another person having a heated argument near Ray and Price Roads.
When they tried to talk to Carlos, Mesa police say she ran into the middle of the road and stood in oncoming traffic. Vehicles in the road had to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting her.
Detectives commanded Carlos to get out of the roadway but she ignored them and laid down in the road.
Eventually, detectives had to physically remove Carlos and while they were trying to carry her out of the road, she allegedly kicked an officer several times in the face and upper body.
Carlos was booked on charges of aggravated assault on law enforcement, failure to comply with a police officer and impeding the flow of traffic.

Jacks Defenseman Commits to Penn State University
Thursday November 29, 2012
Muskegon Lumberjacks defenseman Patrick Koudys. (photo by Ellen DeLuca)
The Muskegon Lumberjacks announced that defenseman Patrick Koudys has committed to play college hockey at Penn State University beginning next season.
Koudys is playing his first USHL season and has collected three assists, 34 penalty minutes, and a plus-five rating in 20 games for the Lumberjacks. Prior to his time in Muskegon, the Smithville, Ontario native spent the last two seasons playing collegiately at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) where he totaled five points (2g, 3a) in 58 games at the school. Following his freshman season, he was selected by the Washington Capitals in the fifth round (147th overall) of the 2011 NHL Draft. The recently turned 20-year-old is one of 18 NHL Draft picks playing in the USHL this season.
"Penn State was the right choice for me because it was more than I expected when visiting the campus with the new state of the art facilities being built, and the coaching staff is dedicated to helping me develop my skills for the pro level," said Koudys. "Penn State has everything to offer both on and off the ice for me because it is close to home and the engineering program they offer is second to none."
Six other current USHL players are committed to play hockey at Penn State following their USHL careers, including Koudy's teammate Conor Garland on the Lumberjacks, Alec Marsh (Cedar Rapids RoughRiders), Zach Saar (Des Moines Buccaneers), Eric Scheid (Lincoln Stars), David Goodwin (Sioux City Musketeers), and Eamon McAdam (Waterloo Black Hawks).
Penn State is playing their first season as an NCAA Division I program and will join the newly Big Ten Conference for hockey next season. A total of nine USHL alumni are on the Nittany Lions roster this year; Connor Varley (Des Moines Buccaneers), Mark Yanis (Muskegon Lumberjacks), Bryce Johnson (Omaha Lancers), Kenny Brooks (Tri-City Storm), Tommy Olczyk (Sioux City Musketeers), Casey Bailey (Omaha Lancers), Joseph Lordo (Sioux Falls Stampede), Max Gardiner (Dubuque Fighting Saints), Matt Skoff (Sioux City Musketeers).
USHL stats – Patrick Koudys
Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the USHL celebrates its 11th season as the nation's only Tier I junior hockey league in 2012-13. With 18 NHL Draft picks on team rosters and over 200 players already committed to NCAA Division I schools this season, the USHL has emerged as the world's foremost producer of junior hockey talent. For more information, visit us on the web at www.USHL.com or visit the League's social media platforms, including Facebook (www.facebook.com/ushlhockey), twitter (www.twitter.com/ushl), and YouTube (www.youtube.com/ushlinteractive). Fans can also watch USHL action all season long, live or on-demand via FASTHockey (ushl.fasthockey.com).
It's not just hockey. It's the USHL.

When I stand on the Podium I am standing on many shoulders. Without my sponsors I could not do what is needed to compete on the world cup level. All of these sponsors, every one of them, are more than just company names they are my friends and friends of freestyle. There are faces behind every one of these company names that have worked with me every step of the way to the 2009 World Freestyle Championship title. I am proud to call them my friends as well as my sponsors.
• 180s LLC: (Innovative Performance Wear) Over the past 7 years 180s has worked closely with me providing top equipment and apparel for training and competitions. I have worked closely with 180's providing them input for product development while 180s continues to support my quest for excellence in performance. Quantum Vent Gloves (thermal regulation for the hands) were introduced with my input into design and testing.
• Lang Boots: Lang has been my ski boot of choice since I started competing in the world of skiing. From when I first started skiing competitively at the age of 7 to winning the 2009 World Freestyle Championship I have been in a Lang!
• Look Bindings. Look bindings go back three generations in my family. My dad skied the bumps on his looks in the 60's. Look continues to provide me with the latest in binding technology and safety.
• Surefoot: I spend over 200 days a year in ski boots. I have been working with Surefoot for custom fitting of my boots for the past 5 years. In 2007 Surefoot joined my team of sponsors that have been providing me with the top performance gear. I love my Surefoot custom fit liners!!!
• Hart Skis. Hart has a long tradition in Patrick's family as Hart also sponsored to his father in the 60's and was a supplier to the families local ski rental shop in the 70's. I am now working with Hart in design and testing the new generation of Hart Mogul Skis.
• Sturtevant's Sports. Sturtevant's has been my ski shop from my first steps on to skis at 11 months old to preparing my skis for this year's 2009 European World Cup Tour. Sturtevant's has always worked with him to insure that I have had the very best in equipment, fit and prepared properly, and ready to compete on.
• Shred Goggles. I was lucky to be one of the first freestyle skiers to use the Shred goggle. Designed initially as a goggle for Alpine racing Shred began to provide goggles for me in the summer of 2007. Now Shred has introduced one of the best helmets produced for skiers which I will be wearing for the 2009/2010 ski season.

10 tips for buying your next car for less
New car fever can make you do strange things. Before you set foot on a dealer lot, read these 10 tips to help you pay less for your next vehicle.
This post comes from Maryalene LaPonsie at partner site Money Talks News.
After a house, a vehicle is probably the biggest purchase you'll make. Unfortunately, while your house might appreciate -- that is, gain value over time -- your car will eventually turn into a nearly worthless hunk of metal, plastic and upholstery.
Rather than pour oodles of cash into something whose value is going to drop like a rock, use these 10 tips to spend as little as possible on a vehicle that will safely serve you for years.
1. Buy used … usually
You knew this would be the first bit of advice, right?
Of course it is. How could it not be when Edmunds reports that the average new car loses 11 percent of its value as soon as it's driven off the lot? That means your $20,000 car is suddenly worth less than $18,000. Then, after five years, it will likely be worth only slightly more than $12,500.
So it almost always makes sense to buy used. Wait two or three years and you can often get a much cheaper car that is almost as good as one fresh off the assembly line.
However, if you're planning to get a car that's only a year old, in some cases a new car may be cheaper when dealer and manufacturer incentives are factored in. Edmunds has a list of vehicles for which it may make sense to buy the new version rather than one that is last year's model.
2. Do your homework
Regardless of whether you're buying new or used, you need to do your homework first. That means researching the going price and available options for the cars you're eyeing.
Of course, KBB and Edmunds are good places to start, but don't stop there. These sites tell you what cars should be selling for, but, in the end, capitalism rules. Supply and demand where you are will dictate actual prices.
Cruise Craigslist and browse the online ads to get a feel for prices in your area. You want to have a good grasp of local prices before you set foot on a dealership lot and get talked into a "good deal" that really isn't a deal at all.
3. Get your trim right
OK, this one might seem silly to the gearheads in the audience, but for everyone else, make sure you're doing an apples-to-apples comparison when shopping around.
I'll go ahead, risk looking the fool and confess to this mistake. I recently bought a Toyota Sienna with an LE trim but was comparing it with vehicles with an XLE trim when doing online research. It wasn't until after I got the vehicle home that I realized my mistake.
Though I still got a good price, it wasn't the totally awesome deal I thought I had negotiated.
4. Embrace high miles
I don't think I even owned a car yet, but I still remember that old Kia commercial with the car driving until the odometer on the roof rolled over to 100,000. Wow! The car was so cheap and yet you could still get 100,000 miles on it. It was downright amazing!
How times have changed. Today, your car is almost guaranteed to get 200,000 miles or more. So why are you freaking out about buying a used car with 110,000 miles on it? On many models, once the mileage starts going north of 100,000, the price starts dropping through the floor. By saying no to these high-mileage cars, you're saying no to a lot of good deals.
I speak from personal experience. Prior to my most recent purchase, I was driving a 2004 Oldsmobile Silhouette. I bought it about five years ago for nearly half the KBB suggested price. Why was it so cheap? That's because it had nearly 170,000 miles on it, and no one wanted to take a chance on such a high-mileage vehicle.
However, my current vehicle at the time was a 1997 Plymouth Grand Voyager that was pushing 300,000 miles. The Oldsmobile miles came largely because the one previous owner had a two-hour round-trip highway commute each day. I did my homework on the reliability of the car, bought it and drove it to 265,000 miles before it started giving me trouble a few months ago. Now, it's been replaced by a 2008 Sienna that has 141,000 miles.
Not every high-mileage car is a good buy, but if you find a reliable make and model, you can get good quality at a low price. Forbes has a list of 10 cars that should easily hit the 250,000-mile mark.
5. Time your purchase right
There are two facets to this piece of advice.
The first is to buy on the right day. As you might guess, the end of the month is often a good time to buy a car, particularly if salespeople are trying to meet their quotas or qualify for a monthly bonus.
However, the very best day to shop could be Dec. 31. Not only is it the end of the year, but there may be fewer car shoppers, meaning more incentive for sales reps to close a deal. Plus, if you're shopping for a new car, dealers may be eager to make room on the lot for next year's models.
At the same time, be aware of seasonal trends in your area, especially if you're buying from a private party. Four-wheel drive trucks may be in demand in the winter but cost less in the summer. Meanwhile, convertibles and some jeeps might be cheaper in the fall.
And you might want to avoid shopping in the spring if at all possible. When tax refunds start hitting bank accounts, there could be a lot more shoppers in the market and that could drive prices up.
6. Forget the monthly payment
We drive by a car lot on our street nearly every day. Right on the corner is a shiny new SUV with "$198" plastered to the side. My obviously not-yet-money-savvy teens and tween have all on separate occasions oohed and aahed over the car and its low, low price.
That's exactly the response the dealer is undoubtedly hoping for. It's also why the sales rep wants to talk monthly payments as soon as you walk in the door. If they can get you to think in terms of a monthly cost rather than a total cost, they've increased their odds of selling you more car than you intended to buy.
Remember, the dealer can work some mathematical magic to make an overpriced vehicle fit into even meager budgets. As a result, your auto loan may last almost as long as the average American marriage. Shockingly, nearly 20 percent of new auto loans have rounded the six-year mark and are heading into the territory of a seven-year repayment term.
Avoid the trap of ending up with reasonable payments for an unreasonable length of time by negotiating the total price rather than a monthly amount. To make sure you are negotiating in the right price range, ask a local bank or credit union if they offer a preapproval process so you can find out in advance what you can afford.
7. Don't mention your trade-in
Along the same lines, don't mention your trade-in unless it absolutely has to be part of the transaction because you still owe on it and can't afford two payments. However, in that case, I would gently suggest you consider whether it would be better to wait until you've paid off your current car before buying a new one.
Otherwise, tell the dealer you haven't decided what to do with your current vehicle. Once you have negotiated the cost of your new purchase, you can then negotiate the price of your trade-in. This method helps ensure you not only get the best price on your new car but that you're maximizing what you receive for the trade-in.
8. Think twice about trade-in promos
Another trick dealers use is luring in shoppers with promises of huge trade-in values. If you can push, pull or drag in your old vehicle, you'll be guaranteed thousands of dollars for your trade-in.
That sounds good until you realize that the offer applies only to certain vehicles on the lot. The sales representative will steer you toward the $15,000 vehicle and enthusiastically share that it will be only $12,000 with your $3,000 trade-in. It sounds like a deal too good to pass up, except you had only planned to spend $10,000.
Or another tactic used by dealers is to bump up their car prices before running a trade-in promotion. Either way, you end up spending more than you wanted to or needed to for your new wheels.
9. Offer to pay with green
Buying with cash is a strategy that may or may not get you a discount.
New-car dealers make more then 20 percent of their income (.pdf file) on financing and insurance sales, which means they have little incentive to accept cash. On the used lot, you might get a little more negotiating power, especially if there is a smaller financial incentive for the dealer and the salesperson is eager to avoid the hassle of completing financing paperwork. In my case, paying with cash dropped the price about $500.
However, private sales are where you'll probably see the biggest discount for a cash payment. Sellers may be eager to unload their vehicle and if you can offer cash, that's often all they need to come down on price.
10. Buy from private sellers
Speaking of private sellers, you're likely to get a better deal from them even if you don't do any wheeling and dealing. That's one way Money Talks News finance expert Stacy Johnson found a near mint condition $5,000 car.
Dealerships have huge overhead expenses, which means they have prices higher than what you find on the private market. Of course, established dealers have a reputation to uphold so they may be more likely to stand behind the cars they sell.
If you're buying from a private seller, be sure to get a full inspection from a mechanic of your choosing before forking over any money.
Those are our 10 tips for spending less on your next vehicle. Do you have your own advice on the subject?
More from Money Talks News
I drive a '02 Honda Civic handed down from my father-in-law (RIP) who bought it new. I do my own maintenance so there's minimal maintenance costs, no depreciation, low insurance ($25/month from Insurance Panda) and registration costs, no car wash expenses (I park it outside when it's raining) and people think twice before trying to cut in front of me. It's a comfortable ride on the highway but is also nimble on dirt roads. I could easily afford a new car but then I'd have to fuss about dents, scratches, car washes and all those other costs. It's got a 3.1L V6 that achieves 30 mpg on the highway. As long as it continues to pass smog it's a keeper.
To be as succinct as possible here, a slick side-of-the-road dealer might not always honor the nice-guy code when you attempt to return a lemon...and can play with your $$$ for months as the issue works through the courts and your taking the heel-toe express, because you don't have a car to drive.
Just a thought ☺
Keep in mind you are taking advice from a "professional" who accidentally, and recently, I might add, purchased an LE Sienna and thought he was buying an XLE.
I second the gentlemen who commented that if you leave happy that is all that matters. The deal is in the eye of the deal getter. If you think you got ripped off, then you got ripped off. If you think that you got a great deal, then you got a great deal. Perception is reality with car buying and many other things.
Do research. Find a car you like, that makes sense to you. Buy a car you can afford, and move on with your life.

My path to the music of Joni Mitchell was a bit unconventional. Unlike many of my peers, I was not a teenage Mitchell devotee. I became obsessed with jazz in my teens so while many of my contemporaries were listening to BLUE and LADIES OF THE CANYON, I was listening to KIND OF BLUE and A LOVE SUPREME. As time went on I moved from my original interest in instrumental Jazz to the vocal greats—Ella, Sarah, Billie, Nat, Sinatra ...

Armie Hammer
After growing up the privileged heir/grandson of oil tycoon and philanthropist Armand Hammer in Dallas, the Cayman Islands and LA, Armie Hammer, with his private school smarts, proper manners, good looks and charismatic smile, decided he wanted to become an actor. His first gig was playing Rooster Hannigan in the sixth-grade production of "Annie." Although he continued his education on the side, he quit full-time schooling by 11th grade to pursue the dream. He became quite prolific at the one-episode guest stint appearing on "Arrested Development," "Veronica Mars" and "Desperate Housewives." He finally landed recurring gigs on "Gossip Girl" and cult-fave "Reaper" in 2009. His breakthrough role, err, roles, would come the following year when he played, with the help of movie magic, both Winklevoss twins in the Facebook film "The Social Network." In 2010, his romantic life hit a high note as well. He married TV personality and model Elizabeth Chambers. He has since been see kissing Leonardo DiCaprio in "J. Edgar," living a fairy tale in "Mirror Mirror" and jumping trains with Johnny Depp as "The Lone Ranger."

Other Grand Vitara Reviews
User Reviews
The community thinks...
Will it hold up? by Hagerstown, MD on 10/07/2008. Trim: 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara XSport 4WD, Owned 1 year.
Pros: Nice little SUV for the price. Gas mileage not too bad for highway commuting. Lots of features; sunroof, 6 disk in dash, XM. Rear folding seat is nice. Sleek look on the outside. So far I've got 33,000 miles in the first year; no mechanical problems yet! Roomy on the inside, to fit the whole family.
Cons: Oil Changes every 3500 miles, most cars now days recommend every 5000. I've had a severe problem with paint bubbling and chipping. Vol/Radio/Cruise controls on steering column not illuminated and the paint rubs off easily. Interior items seem cheap; seats, dash and steering wheel. Not much comfort for the driver. The question is will it hold up for at least 100K miles?
Overall review: I think I was very happy when I first bought the vehicle, but now after a year I can't help but second guess the purchase.

LANSING (WKZO) -- An investigation into the use of state of Michigan planes by Michigan State University is underway.
The "Lansing State Journal" reports the Federal Aviation Administration is starting a probe into the university's use of the planes, and also reports MSU coaches are using the taxpayer-funded planes for recruiting trips. A review of flight logs found basketball coach Tom Izzo used the planes on average once a month, and football coach Mark Dantonio has taken 47 flights in the past five years.
MSU pays for the use of the planes with money from the athletics department budget.

On the 16th April 2009, a young man from County Tipperary was shot dead by Bolivian special forces in Santa Cruz, along with a Hungarian, Arpad Maygarosi and a Bolivian-Hungarian Eduardo Rosza Flores. The story flashed around the world with graphic images of the dead mens bodies sprawled on the floor of the Hotel Las Americas and covered in blood. The Bolivian authorities claimed that they were right wing terrorists, attempting to assasinate Bolivias first indigenous President, Evo Morales.
"The overall impression given by the internal Garda investigative process was that complaints or matters of concern were put through a process of filtration or distillation so that, by the end of the process, any matter of concern had been removed as a form of impurity, and only what was good was found to remain."

|February 28, 2012 at 10:54 am #7678
Hi Everyone!
Let me introduce myself: I am Stefano, a student of Computer Science at the Free University of Bolzano Bozen (Italy). In the current semester of study, I am following the course of Software Engineering where the project is as follows:
"get involve in a open source project. Get in touch with the community and ask for a possible feature to implement and implement it. The project and the feature developed must be written in C++".
Now my question is: there is a list of feature not yet implemented that must be developed? Should I use a particular IDE environment to develop?
Thank you all for the attention!!
|February 28, 2012 at 11:44 am #18611
Welcome strebeschi! Great offer, much appreciated.
IDE would be Visual Studio 2010, see: http://pnotepad.org/docs/dev/how_to_compile_pn
There are couple feature requests since weeks or months on the bug tracker, which haven't been fulfilled yet.
List of the most wished features for PN (imo):
- Replace in files, and some other fixes
- Regex searching for "Find in Files"
- Feedback during Find in files / Find in Files – two searches at once locks UI
- Improved CTags / Tag browser tree closes after file is saved. / ctag "go to definition" only works in the current file.
- Project-based Autocomplete (tags)
- Per-Scheme Tab Identation Setting
- Using Quick Find when already shown should select (or clear) the old entry / Quick Find should stay open when switching to another open file.
- CTRL+D should duplicate multiple selected lines.
- Replace in all open documents is not possible
- FTP support / I would love to see FTP connection feature with pn
- Built-in Browser / HTML Previewer
- Save bookmarks when exiting editor to be used again next time editor is started
- Autocomplete/autoclose brackets: '(' | '[' | '{' + quote marks, e.g. " inserts "" with cursor places between both
- Impoved Project features such as Search in project / project folder, relative paths, auto-reflect file states etc.
- More Text clip features: Import/export, share between schemes, highlighting for clip code, set one clip per scheme to be the default content (clip inserted into new blank file automatically based on scheme), confirm before deleting clip, double-clicking clip not always inserting it
- PN does not work with multiple desktops.
- Dockable windows that are undocked are very slow to respond.
and personally, i'd love to see this accomplished soon:
- "Find Where" field in "Find in Files" dialog should remember MRU entries
|February 28, 2012 at 2:29 pm #18612
Great! what if I want to propose a new feature?
|February 28, 2012 at 4:10 pm #18613
Post it here for discussion and/or file a new issue on the bug tracker!
I'm curious what you got on mind
|February 28, 2012 at 6:42 pm #18614
Actually I had an idea that comes from my experience. Four years ago, at the High School, we used to develop using DevC++. I did like that IDE so much but there was the following feature:
It was named sth like "map code" and it consisted in right-side rectangular panel showing the global view of the code (it looks like a the printed file seen from an height of 10 meters). The user can move across the entire file just by clicking a part of the panel, then the pointer of the editor is moved on the piece of code selected.
I found it very comfortable and helpful, four years ago. So far I find no editor with the same functionality.
What do you think about? Loving? Hating?
|February 29, 2012 at 12:03 pm #18615
Key Master
@strebeschi Your contribution would certainly be welcome, whether it's for existing requested changes or something like you suggest.
I think what you're talking about is similar to the map in Sublime Text yes? It would be interesting to try and implement, I guess you could try just using a readonly Scintilla view with very low zoom – it's not optimised for this, but may work. It may be easier to use an optimised form that drew just colour blobs depending on code styling.

F4 arrives in Beijing for Spring Festival Gala
All four members of Taiwanese boyband F4 are currently in Beijing for Jiangsu TV's Spring Festival Gala, following Vanness Wu and Jerry Yan's arrival yesterday. Vic Chou took an earlier flight while Ken Chu flew into the Chinese city one day before his group mates.
Vanness subsequently shared a photo of the duo on the plane via his microblog. He wrote: "Long time no see, brother!"
His manager mentioned that Vanness and Jerry do contact each other occasionally, but it has been a while since they gathered as both of them are busy with their own activities.
Fans gathered at the airport prior to their arrival and were later greeted by warm smiles from their idols. Though Jerry was wearing shades due to an eye injury incurred during drama filming, he was in a good mood and remained friendly despite a sarcastic remark "Don't sing off-key" made by a member of the crowd.
Sources revealed that there will be a full-dress rehearsal for the Chinese New Year special program tonight and official recording will commence at 10pm tomorrow.
More than hundred fans from Hong Kong and Taiwan have reportedly flown to Beijing specially for the highly anticipated reunion stage where the group is set to perform their classic hits 'Meteor Rain' and 'First Time'.

» Not much bang for the buck: Tons of money is needed to get a political campaign off the ground, but that doesn't mean being rich out of the gate is a sure-fire win for wannabe politicians. In 2010, wrestling magnate Linda McMahon spent $50 million on her own Senate campaign only to be crushed by Richard Blumenthal, who'd raised a (relatively) modest $8.7 million. More recently, Texas Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst lost the GOP primary after giving $24 million to his own war chest—the most so far of any candidate this cycle. But this doesn't seem to be discouraging wealthy candidates: McMahon is running for the Senate again this year, and her $8.8 million contribution constitutes 90% of what she's raised so far.

Kapuscinski, Ryszard.
Adult Nonfiction DT12.25 .K35713 2001
Summary: A moving portrait of Africa from Poland's most celebrated foreign correspondent - a masterpiece from a modern master. Famous for being in the wrong places at just the right times, Ryszard Kapuscinski arrived in Africa in 1957, at the beginning of the end of colonial rule - the "sometimes dramatic and painful, sometimes enjoyable and jubilant" rebirth of a continent. The Shadow of the Sun sums up the author's experiences ("the record of a 40-year marriage") in this place that became the central obsession of his remarkable career. From the hopeful years of independence through the bloody disintegration of places like Nigeria, Rwanda and Angola, Kapuscinski recounts great social and political changes through the prism of the ordinary African. He examines the rough-and-ready physical world and identifies the true geography of Africa: a little-understood spiritual universe, an African way of being. He looks also at Africa in the wake of two epoch-making changes: the arrival of AIDS and the definitive departure of the white man. Kapuscinski's rare humanity invests his subjects with a grandeur and a dignity unmatched by any other writer on the Third World, and his unique ability to discern the universal in the particular has never been more powerfully displayed than in this work.

I totes needed a new tote
"Well, ducks", said Sabrina the dress maker's dummy as she made sure her scarf was snugly around her neck, and her bag securely upon her shoulder, "I'm off! Best of luck, au revoir, and remember that if you can't be good, at least be interesting."
"Nooooooo!", came the cry simultaneously from clothes in the wardrobe, threads from the drawer and sewing machines in the bureau. "What will we do without you and your snappy retorts to keep us all in line?"
One poor needle fell into a blind panic, and scraped her way across the floor to fall at Sabrina's feet. "Don't leave us!" she begged, tears welling up in her eye. "I shall be dull, and then pointless without you. No, truly - if I am dull then I am pointless. Don't let this happen to me. Don't gooooooo!"
"Ach, you daft gits", scolded Sabrina with gruff affection. "I'm not actually going anywhere - I'm just pretending since I'm all got up in this here knitted cowl and tote bag combination. But I tell you, I may just consider taking my mannequin services elsewhere if Jorth doesn't put that knitting aside and start clothing me in new sewn creations again. Knitting is all very well and good, but it doesn't keep this dummy sufficiently warm at night!"
I hate green bags. You know the ones that everybody and his dog carries dutifully to the supermarket these days? Yes, those, the ugly ubiquitous green things. Now, don't get me wrong - I'm not anti-bring-your-own-bag at all. As a non-driver, I am a master at hauling, toting, shouldering, lugging my groceries home in a reusable bag. And I think it's marvellous that for every bag brought from home, that's one less plastic bag used. But why, oh why do the green bags have to be so darn fugly? And stinky, if anything ever gets spilt or leaks in them. Urgh! Have you ever tried to wash one? I have, and they start shredding and going all weirdly lumpy in odd places yet also become threadbare. Quite an achievement!
So the other day I decreed No more! I can't take those hideous bags any longer. Bracing myself, I delved into my stash (cue the Stashbusters! soundtrack - kinda like the Ghostbusters one, but with better, more embarrassing dance moves) and found this heavy weight Japanese cotton. Just the thing, I thought, and promptly wasted no more time in devising a bag pattern and then cutting it out. I lined it with calico, and had the whole thing sewn up in less than an hour. Hooray!
So now, even though I may be lugging home litres of milk, heavy packets of lentils, kilos of flour, and am sweaty and disheveled from the effort, at least I'll be lugging it home in one stylish tote.
Let me know if you want the recipe, and I'll write it out for ya.
Must go - I have a Ghostbusters theme song to hum mindlessly for the rest of the day. Catchya!

Sports fans vie for NCAA, Masters tickets. How to get cheap seats.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
The March Madness ticket market has had a number of surprises this year -- among them, Tiger Woods.
Woods announced last week that he would play at the Masters Tournament in Augusta, Ga., in April, his first competition since news of his sex scandal broke last year. Searches for Masters badges on the secondary ticket market quadrupled within hours, heating up a ticket market already busy with NCAA Championship basketball tournament demand. "Hey, it is March Madness," says Mike Janes, chief executive of ticket-search site FanSnap.com. "This is the month of Cinderellas and upsets."
There's good reason for the ticket market frenzy.
Despite happy talk and new products, they're a last resort for seniors.
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
Reverse mortgages, once thought to be a bad move for seniors, appear to be losing some of their stink.
Why? A couple things have changed:
What's more important: Your overall budget or your child's education?
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
You folks send me tons of great questions, and I'd love to share more of them. This week, for example, Lisa wrote with the following.
"Having kids has made spending choices much more emotional and complex," she says. "You can't always calculate a return on investment." Here's her predicament:
While many of the provisions of the health care reform bill don't take effect until 2014, now's the time to find out about how this legislation will affect you.
This post comes from partner site Money Talks News.
Now that health care reform has passed the U.S. House, odds are that it will soon be law. So let's take a minute to see how the most sweeping changes in American health care in 40 years will change things for you.
If you insist on getting married at an island resort far away, some people will say you're selfish.
The Washington Post's Michelle Singletary is a huge fan of Judith Martin, better known as Miss Manners, and we thoroughly enjoy them both. So imagine the fun when these two fine columnists touched on a pet peeve we share -- destination weddings.
Like Martin and Singletary, we have a problem with huge weddings the blessed couples can't afford, and destination weddings can be an egregious, large subset of that. Singletary, the Post's personal-finance columnist, wrote:
The truth is, for many of these weddings, guests are goaded to attend because if they do, the marrying couple get their expenses covered. How nice for them!
Is it a good idea to use trusted Hollywood stars like Peter Graves and Dennis Hopper to pitch financial products to seniors?
This post comes from Marilyn Lewis of MSN Money.
Peter Graves, the cool, smooth Hollywood star who aged handsomely before audiences, started out playing cowboys in his youth, progressed to the role of Jim Phelps, spy leader in TV's "Mission: Impossible" in the 1960s and '70s, and he played a pedophile pilot in the movie "Airplane" ("Joey, did you ever hang around a gymnasium?" was a famous line). A delightful guy by all accounts, Graves died a few days ago at age 83. (Brian Williams recaps his career.)
His last role was peddling reverse mortgages in TV commercials for American Advisors Group. As a pitchman, he joined a legion of aging or elderly stars, including Leslie Nielsen, for Dutchtone; Charlton Heston, for Bud Light; and James Garner, for Polaroid.
The list goes on: Patrick Stewart and Julie Walters flog Brain Training for Nintendo DS, Nancy Walker ("Rhoda" and "The Mary Tyler Moore Show") spent 20 years pitching paper towels for Bounty ("the quicker picker upper"), Gene Hackman did voiceovers for Lowe's, and Morgan Freeman has pitched just about everything from (recently) Visa to Listerine, Black & Long cigarettes and Polaroid cameras.
So, given this long tradition, how come it's the gray-haired stars hawking financial services that get under my skin?
Free Italian ice, Free Cone Day, Free Pastry Day -- it's a week to celebrate dessert.
It's the last Friday of winter, and time again for Friday food deals and freebies.
Start working out now, because this week's top freebies are all sweets.
Some March Madness bar deals are in effect during the NCAA basketball tournament, and some of last week's deals are still good.
My local store is offering a 10% bonus. I'm in, even though I haven't used up last year's card yet.
The idea is that you'd use some or all of your income tax refund on these cards. Families or individuals who spend more than $300 a month on food might want to get more than one. Myself, I don't buy too much at a time; in fact, the $330 card I bought last April still has $154.87 left on it.
So why get another one?

I have owned about a million vacuum cleaners, this is the best one I have ever owned. I have a cat that sheds like it has a disease or something, WHITE HAIR EVERYWHERE, and I have red couches and dark carpet, hair all over the place drives me crazy. My supposed "cat hair lifting vacuum" wasnt cutting it, I had to use one of those tape roll lift off things also, and some hair was embedded in the carpet. This vacuum sucked it all up! Yes, the container fills up quickly, but it is FULL of hair and dirt-disgusting! It picks up everything. A normal living room and couch/loveseat, you may have to empty the container twice if you have an animal. But all the hair is gone. I have had the vacuum for over a year, use it probably every other day, it has never lost power, it got clogged once in the hose, but was easy to take the hose off and clean it out.
There was some minor assembly required, but took less that five minutes. The machine is a bit heavy, but still manageable. I had vacuumed a couple of days before I got this one. I did the rugs again. Glad I was alone! It was embrassing the amount of dirt and pet hair it pick up off of what I thought was a clean rug ! This was an excellent purchase ! I use it 2-3 times weekly. The only problems I've noticed is that it is difficult to transition from floor to rug. The dirt container is small and has to be emptied often during a long cleaning session.
The only complaint I have on this machine is it is very light compared to my old vacuum. I used to be able to use the attachments a bit aggresively without tipping the vacuum over. Now this new one, although it's MUCH better at sucking things up, falls over constantly every time I try to use the attachments. I guess I'll get used to it.
I bought this last winter and it didn't even last one year. I have two dogs and a lot of dog hair. The hair and dirt would get sucked into the bucket but i had to empty it every five minutes otherwise it would overflow and get caught up higher in the machine. When this happens you have to dig it out and end up spilling everything you have just vacuumed out on to the floor. After having to take apart the filters and the dirt bucket to clean the machine it several times it started making a weird noise and the light went off and then the whole machine would not turn back on. Also this machine never had good suction especially on the hoses. Also for anyone with hardwood floors and rugs this vacuum would not go from floor to rug with out having to pick the entire thing up to lift it onto the rugs. Quite a pain in the back. I would not buy another Bissell nor recommend one to a friend.
Got tired of paying high prices for vacuums so I tried this one. Used my money back with Overstock (hooray!) and saved a lot. This vacuum works as well or better than the higher priced ones I have purchased in the past. I do recommend it.
I read the mixed reviews on this vacuum, and was skeptical. I have 2 cats and a Pomeranian, so lots of animal hair on the ground at the end of the week, and so far it has been great! Very easy to put together, easy to clean. I read that people say it didn't suck up any hair when they first got it and I just wanted to mention that when I first turned it on, I only turned on power, not the brush too, and it didn't pick up hardly anything, I got so frustrated until I just turned both on, then viola! It worked perfect. Now that does show that the vacuum power is weak, but when the brush is on, it does the job great. So far, it has been perfect for me and the animal hair in the house. I also read people say it doesn't last a year, I am hoping the is not the case with mine, but we will just have to wait and see.
OMG! We moved into a new house and our carpet was really plush. My old vacuum wouldn't even move. I couldn't push or pull it! I purchased another vacuum, and it didn't work either. I read a ton of reviews, and found this vacuum was recommended. It was a little heavier than I expected BUT it worked! It vacuums great and I love it!
We have owned other Bissells in the past and have always been pleased with their performance. When we suddenly needed a new vacuum, we did not hesitate to purchase this one. We have a cat with long fur and a dog with short fur and the vacuum does a great job picking up both. Love that the canister detaches from the vacuum base for use on the stairs. In addition to being a great vacuum, we got a great price on it!
2nd one, 3 dogs love it! Picks up dog hair better and longer than any other vacuum out there!
I bought this vac after having a Dyson for 9 years. I thought I loved my Dyson...but then I got this vac! It is amazing! The suction is stronger than my dyson and the lift off canister is great for easy cleaning. I love the bagless canister (my dyson also had this feature). Some have said the canister is very small--but I don't think it's a big deal. And really it holds the same amount of dirt as my dyson did. I bought this vac because we have a shedding dog (with white hair--ugh!) With my other vac I literally had to go over and over the carpet several times to get the hair up and it never got it all. The Bissell gets ALL of the hair up easily! The pet attachment was a huge reason I bought this and unfortunately it's not as great as it could be. It has rubber 'fingers' that spin to grab the pet hair---great concept but for some reason it constantly stops spinning and i have to stick my finger in the end to nudge the thing to spin again. As soon as I touch it to the furniture it stops. Oh well. I would still purchase this vac even with this inconvenience. I prefer when the power cord is attached at the top of the vacuum rather than the bottom (as on this vac)---makes it easier to keep out of the way but that is also a minor thing. The beater bar seems to really stay clean which is odd considering I have girls with long hair. The only thing I can't say about this vacuum is that it will last for years because I've only had it for a few weeks. I hope it lasts for many years---I love this vacuum!

How Do I Enforce Child Support Payments Between the U.S. and U.K.?
Q: How can I enforce child support (a.k.a. child maintenance) payments between the U.S. and U.K.?
A: The United States and the United Kingdom concluded a bilateral agreement on child support enforcement on December 17, 2007. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Administration for Children and Families, Office of Child Support Enforcement (http://www.acf.hhs.gov/) is the U.S. Central Authority for this agreement.
The following information briefly explains the steps parents should take to request enforcement of child support orders when the absent parent is in the other country. More information is available on the Department of State's website at http://travel.state.gov/law/family_issues/support_issues/support_issues_582.html under Federal Bilateral Child Support Agreements in Force.
Applications made in the United States for support from a parent in the United Kingdom: Applications should be made to your local Child Support Enforcement Office (IV-D Agency) at your local Department of Human Services. It is the responsibility of the Child Support Enforcement office to forward the application to the UK Reciprocal Enforcement of Maintenance Orders Section (REMO) located within the Department for Constitutional Affairs at the following address: Department For Constitutional Affairs, REMO Section, Selborne House (4th Floor), 56-60 Victoria Street, London SW1E 6QW; tel: 0845-345-5303; website: http://www.dca.gov.uk/family/remo/contents.htm ; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com . The REMO Section will forward the application to the nearest English or Welsh County Court where the absent parent resides and will endeavor to enforce it.
Applications made in England and Wales for support from a parent in the United States: Applications should be made to the Justices' Clerk of your local Magistrate's Court. The Justices' Clerk is required to forward the application to the REMO Section at the Department for Constitutional Affairs as explained above. It is the responsibility of the REMO Section to forward the application to the Child Support Enforcement Office (IV-D Agency) in the particular U.S. state where the absent parent resides. That authority will endeavor to enforce the order.

A Sedona-area man will pay $500 of restitution after pleading guilty to illegally building mountain bike jumps on Coconino National Forest land. The Arizona Daily Sun reports that 20-year-old Tyler Gavigan had faced being fined up to $5,000, being jailed for six months and banned from the forest.
Gavigan pleaded guilty Tuesday in federal court. He was cited last September for building jumps on forest land near his home.
The Forest Service says the site on a steep hillside required extensive work to prevent erosion.
The case is the latest instance of people doing illegal trail work on forest land in the Sedona area.

Recently published articles by Dave G:
After what felt like forever plus another month, my custom iPad Edition of 101 Autodesk Maya Tips is finally up for purchase on the iTunes store. If you're wondering what makes this iPad-only iBook different from the EPUB, PDF or Kindle version, the iPad version was developed using iBooks Author to create interactive elements like walkthrough movies, 3D objects and slideshows – and it's being sold for the same $2.99 price tag of the static editions. It works on all iPads and was tested on first- and third-gen iPads.
If this is the first time you're hearing about this book, you can read the original long write-up for it here.
And If you're still on the fence about shelling out a few bucks to save yourself a ton of time in Maya, grab the sample file from the iTunes page and see some of the tips that currently give 101 Autodesk Maya Tips a 5-star rating on Amazon and 4.5-star rating on Smashwords. Despite what the price would suggest, it's actually good!
