This far north Fort Worth burger joint stands up well to better-known burger palaces with homemade buns and crispy sides.
This new joint has a Texas music theme, but how well do its burgers sing?
It's the same burger joint you know and love, but with a patio, a few new dishes, and some TCU spirit.
The funky Fort Worth joint delivers creativity, consistency and classic burger flavor in a lopsided finale.
Chef Keith Grober gives his team the credit for producing superior burgers.
It might be a modest little place off of I-30 in Arlington, but Toms put up a fierce fight to emerge victorious in the DFW.com Battle of the Burgers Readers Bracket.
They might not have won the biggest prize, but these burger joints offer up some delicious superlatives and side items.
Our judges profess their love for patties that they had to send packin'.
As the burger battle was raging, we tried, best we could, to preserve the anonymity of our judges. But now, we throw off our grease-stained veil, and reveal a little about the tasters. One judge even set his burger bio to iambic pentameter.
Hopdoddy, Rodeo Goat, Johnny Bs and Chop House had big, beefy dreams. Which patty purveyors prevailed?

Tattoo artist Klaine, inspired by the beautiful art going around.
"And this is my station, aka where the magic happens."
Kurt rolls his eyes and erases a few lines of the sketch he's been working on; a bit of a twist on the classic heart.
"Here's where you'll be, make yourself at home. Oh, and that's Kurt. He's prickly as hell but unfortunately he's also crazy talented so we deal."
Kurt's pencil scratches over the thin paper, adding shadow and detail, not even looking up to say, "Don't you have a tribal armband or butterfly tramp stamp to work on, Puckerman?"
Puck scoffs but walks away, and Kurt catches a gesture in his direction seeming to indicate a see what I mean? message to whoever is still standing rather annoyingly just at the edge of Kurt's vision.
"Hello," Kurt says with a bit of a put-upon sigh. He'd really been hoping to finish up and head home for the night before someone inevitably came in just as they tried to close wanting a complicated back piece or taking an hour to decide on a flash design.
"Hey, I'm Blaine."
Kurt gives the guy a once over, he's kind of small, but pleasantly so, with both arms covered in ink, a few piercings. He's got a nice face, too, sort of classically handsome. Really he'd be pretty hot if wasn't for the too-tight t-shirt and ratty jeans and that asinine beanie covering his hair. Not worth Kurt's time, really. These guys never are.
He focuses back on his drawing, hears Blaine mutter okay then, to himself before he moves away to start arranging his stuff; pulling out supplies and organizing them on the workstation. Kurt is almost finished, just the last few details that he's probably over-thinking, like usual, when he feels Blaine watching him, turned in his stool to face Kurt's station.
"Can I help you?"
Blaine tilts his head back and forth. "Maybe." Kurt sets his pencil down and fixes Blaine with a glare. He is really not in the mood. But Blaine holds his hands up and glances over at Puck who is engrossed in something on the computer; paperwork, Kurt hopes, but mostly likely solitaire.
"I just thought we could get to know each other a little. I mean, we will be working together for a few months." Blaine says.
Kurt packs his pencils away, tapes the stencil up to the wall above his workstation so it's ready to go for his first client tomorrow, and starts gathering his things to leave.
"Oh come on. I'm not so bad. Nice, even."
"I just like to keep to myself. It's nothing personal." Kurt stands, watches Blaine subtly gaze down his body and finds himself swallowing thickly at the implication. "I know how you are, your type. Breeze into town like you own the place, cocky and vain and selfish. No offense."
Blaine barks a laugh, head thrown back to reveal the line of his throat, and Kurt has to swallow again. "Wow, none taken." He leans back, picks up his tattoo gun and buzzes it a few times in the air. "I like you, Kurt. You're very…honest."
Kurt shrugs, feels a smile tug his lips despite himself. "I do try."
Blaine presses his gun again, bzzz, bzzzz. He looks at Kurt's body more deliberately, catching Kurt's eye and actually winking, and wow he's even worse than Kurt thought.
"Let me ink you," he says.
"What? No way. I haven't even seen your portfolio. You probably suck. Puck hired you, after all."
Puck protests loudly from the front of the shop, but Blaine just smirks and hums to himself. "Oh, I see. You're one of those."
Kurt knows he shouldn't take the bait, he knows, but he can't help it and asks, "One of what?"
"Tattoo artist who's afraid of getting any work done on themselves," Blaine replies mildly, turning his stool away and pushing off with his feet to skid over to the table in front of his station.
"You're insane." Kurt gestures to the art along his left arm, an entire sleeve covering it, Puck's handiwork, it took forever and some days still doesn't feel finished.
"Come on, just a little one. It won't hurt. Much."
Kurt takes a slow, cleansing breath through his nose. He doesn't have to prove anything to anyone. He can have as much or as little ink as he wants, it doesn't mean a thing. He moved to the New York with nothing but a suitcase and his little pack of tattooing supplies. He had no job lined up, knew no one, and in a year has become one of the most in-demand artists in the city.
He has nothing to prove. He also has no idea why Blaine is getting under his skin like this. "Fine."
Blaine grins triumphantly and gestures to the table before turning away to get set up. Kurt stretches out on his back, hands folded over his stomach and legs crossed at the ankle. He's beginning to realize that Blaine is not the insane one here. He waits as Blaine draws something up, snaps on gloves and turns back with alcohol wipes to sanitize Kurt's skin.
Blaine pauses then takes a moment to lean over, Kurt's breath catching when Blaine looks at him with wide, sincere eyes and says, "Trust me, okay?" Then pushes Kurt's shirt up to his neck and presses the stencil to the center of his chest.
Kurt nods, but all he can think about now is the way Blaine's hands feel on his body, solid and warm and steady. How lovely Blaine's eyes are. He doesn't even realize Blaine had started until the first drag of the needle presses sharp to his skin.
Blaine sings quietly as he works. Of course he does. Kurt would find it obnoxiously cheerful, only Blaine has a nice voice. It's very soothing, actually. Kurt closes his eyes and lets the endorphins from the pain cloud his mind.
"I have a confession to make."
Kurt forces his eyes open as Blaine turns away to dip the needle into more black ink, swivels around again and etches it into Kurt's skin.
"Hmmm?" He manages.
"I've been following your career for a while now. It's why I took the temporary position here. You're really good, Kurt."
"I know," Kurt says. Blaine laughs and shakes his head, hand moving in increments across Kurt's chest. "I mean, thank you." Kurt says, chagrined. "I'm sure you're very talented as well."
"A compliment, wow. I'm honored." Blaine pulls his lip ring into his mouth, tongue licking out to smooth over and around, and Kurt seems to be completely unable to stop staring. "You better hope I am, anyway."
Kurt looks away to blink at the ceiling, a brief moment of panic overtaking him. What if Blaine is horrible? What if he has to get some huge and gaudy cover-up done after this? What if Blaine is marking him with the Japanese symbols for tacky and boring?
But then Blaine is setting down the gun, snapping off his gloves and scooting away. He cleans off Kurt's skin with a damp towel and grins, "Alright, moment of truth."
Kurt stands up, swaying and woozy for a moment before Blaine settles a hand low on his hip, then walks over to the full length mirror in the back while holding his shirt up high. Blaine bounces along behind him, his anticipation almost palpable. Kurt stops, squeezes his eyes closes, takes a breath.
"Oh," He says, on the exhale. His hand flutters up to touch the reddened skin just under the tattoo, smiling and overwhelmed. "It's so beautiful."
Puck was right to hire Blaine, he's amazing. The detailing is exquisite, particularly for a smaller piece, lines thin but clean, shading impeccable. He catches Blaine's eye in the mirror, hand still pressed to his chest under the little black bird flying free from a gilded cage. It's perfect.
He doesn't understand how Blaine could have read him so well, they don't even know each other. Kurt's pretty sure he's about to rectify that situation, however.
"Thank you," Kurt says, raw honesty cracking his voice.
Blaine smiles, moves in close behind him to press his fingertips just below Kurt's fingers and over his thundering heart to whisper in Kurt's ear, "Take these broken wings and learn to fly."
Kurt turns and walks away on wobbly legs to tape a bandage over the fresh ink. He tries for nonchalance as he asks, "Do you want to get out of here?"
As he follows Blaine out of the shop, glaring at Puck's wolf-whistle as they leave together, he has only one thought.
Well, two. One: he can't can't wait to rip that stupid beanie off Blaine's head, and two:
You were only waiting for this moment to arrive.

News and Events Details
Michelle Gutsch graduated from UW-Superior in May 2010, and is now going to graduate school in Alaska!
After obtaining her undergraduate degree majoring in biology with a minor in chemistry, she is now pursuing a Master's of Science in Fisheries degree at the University of Alaska Fairbanks School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences.
Michelle learned about this program through the advisor of her REU internship in the summer of 2009, and through her success at UWS was accepted into the graduate program.
Michelle feels that the job and classroom experiences she had at UWS adequately prepared her for graduate school. She worked three to four jobs almost every year of her undergrad and took on a challenging course load. After all that hard work, life in grad school actually feels comparatively easier to her!
Current UWS students looking to achieve success like Michelle has should heed her advice to take on as many opportunities as possible while an undergrad.
"Even if you think you are not at one of the 'top' schools, it is what you make of it. I made the most of my experience at UWS and it has led to a successful graduate program, which will hopefully lead to another successful graduate program, and finally a successful job that I have always wanted."
Congratulations to Michelle, and good luck to her in the rest of her academic and professional career!

Worcester Public School students cheer on the Crusaders in the Hart Center. Image by Mark Salinger
Nearly 2,000 Worcester third through eighth grade students packed the Hart Center at the College of the Holy Cross yesterday to watch the women's basketball team take on Brown University as part the team's "Get Fit with the Crusaders Day."
The goal of the program is to use basketball as a tool to talk about health and physical fitness.
Head Coach Bill Gibbons told reporter Katelyn Tivnan his players are role models for the young fans. "It's never too early to start thinking about eating right, getting off the computer, and getting outside for fresh air and exercise," said Gibbons.
Jeff Oliver, head strength and conditioning coach at the College, who gave a halftime presentation with Dietitian Kathy Eagan said, "The most important time to learn about nutrition and fitness is at a young age."
Holy Cross beat Brown 83-66.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The S&P 500 finished January down nearly 4%, the worst January performance since 2010.
On CNBC's "Fast Money" TV show, Brian Kelly, founder of Brian Kelly Capital, said volatility is likely to stay in the market, which will be unable to rally until the emerging market issues are solved. He reasoned that equities would go lower.
Steve Grasso, director of institutional sales at Stuart Frankel & Company, said the S&P 500 seems likely to break the 100-day moving average to the downside, and eventually work its way down to the 200-day moving average near 1,700.
Josh Brown, CEO and co-founder of Ritholtz Wealth Management, said the market is turning into a "risk-off environment" where investors do not want to be in equities at the moment. He noted that the $12 billion in fund outflows was the largest weekly outflow of U.S. equities since 2012.Tim Seymour, managing partner of Triogem Asset Management, said emerging market scares are nothing new. He reminded investors that U.S. economic data, like GDP and consumer confidence, remain strong. Carter Braxton Worth, chief market technician and managing director at Oppenhiemer & Company, was a guest on the show. He said the S&P 500, on average, finishes the year lower only 33% of the time. However, when January ends the month lower, the likelihood the S&P 500 ends lower for the year jumps to 58%. In the February through December time period, the S&P 500 is up, on average, just 1.65% when the month of January ends lower. This compares to the average increase of 8.5% when January is positive. He reasoned that the S&P 500 looks likely to decline into the 1,600s. Satya Nadella, executive vice president of cloud and enterprise at Microsoft (MSFT), is rumored to be the company's next CEO. The news sent shares of MSFT higher by 2%. Seymour said he wouldn't rush to buy the stock on this news and would "wait and see."

The Anacostia River was engineered into a channeled city river from a meandering river with extensive wetlands, and remains channeled below Benning Road. Nature wants to take back the river, however and strips of willow, hibiscus, and other wetland plants thrive along the sea wall, providing shelter for a variety of birds Meadows at the edges of playing fields provide more habitat for ground nesting birds, rabbits, and fox.
The park staff established or improved marshes and riparian buffers where possible to improve water quality of the Anacostia River, and meet the Department of Interior agreement to the Chesapeake Bay Recovery Program. A testament to the success of this program is the way wildlife is returning to the area, and native plants are spreading and establishing themselves to further recovery efforts.

died Oct. 6, 1990, Guatemala City
president of Guatemala (194551), who pursued a nationalistic foreign policy while internally encouraging the labour movement and instituting far-reaching social reforms.
Arévalo was educated at the University of Guatemala and the University of La Plata (192834) in Argentina, where he received a doctorate. After serving in the Guatemalan ministry of education in 1936, he returned to Argentina, where he held a variety of academic positions. Back in Guatemala, he was easily elected president in December 1944 with 85 percent of the vote. For the first time in Guatemalan history, organized labour had played an important part. Arévalo's policies favoured urban and agricultural workers and the country's Indian population. During his administration a social-security system was established, a labour code enacted, and important programs in education, health, and road building begun. He allowed freedom of speech and of the press and, in accord with his nationalist policy, reopened the dispute over Belize with the British. Right-wing opposition to Arévalo's reforms increased during his administration, and he withstood several military coup attempts. During his term he refused to recognize Anastasio Somoza's Nicaragua, Francisco Franco's Spain, and Rafael Trujillo's Dominican Republic. In 1963 he was prevented from running for president after Col. Enrique Peralta seized the government.
Arévalo was the author of a widely circulated book, The Shark and the Sardines (1961), which denounced U.S. domination of Latin America. He served as ambassador to France from 1970 to 1972.

Medicines that Cause Depression (cont.)
In this Article
Drugs That May Cause Depression
The following drugs have been reported to cause depression in some patients. Elderly people are particularly at risk.
What Should I Do If My Medicine Causes Depression or Mania?
When a medicine produces symptoms of mania or depression, your doctor may recommend discontinuing the drug or reducing the dosage (if possible). If this is not possible, your doctor may treat the manic or depressive symptoms with other drugs.
Should I Stop Taking a Drug If It Causes Depression or Mania?
If you do experience depression or mania while taking one of these medications or any other, call your doctor immediately. Do not stop taking the medicine unless directed to do so by your doctor. In all cases, the risk of side effects must be balanced against the risk and discomfort of not treating the disease.

This is where the real work is being done (and we need any kind of help here). Team members do the research for a respective human culture and document their findings in the knowledgebase. Just call our scientific coordiantors.
As a Culture Coordinator
But if you have strong connections to cultural astronomy experts for a certain culture, then you might consider joining the project as one of our culture co-ordinators. These people co-ordinate and empower their respective culture team, strenghen our network and monitor the verification process within the culture team. Often they are experts in cultural astronomy for a certain culture, and therefore additionally work as culture team members. Again just call our scientific coordiantors.
As Donator
And last but not least, if you like what we do here, you may always show your appreciation by donating to the project. As we receive no public funding so far, donations are very, very, very welcome.
As Webmaster
If you like to help us promote the project globally, you might consider a Weblink to the project on your Website (and if you do, we would appreciate a short notice about it).

The official source of product insight from the Visual Studio Engineering Team
After the beta release, we published several posts on the performance improvements in Visual Studio 11. Since the beta release, we have made a number of additional enhancements, continuing our quest to improve the performance of Visual Studio. The performance work done between beta and the upcoming RC was substantial and covered many aspects of the product including XAML (compiler, loading documents, and the design surface), C++, TLM, Debugging and the list goes on. We plan to blog about a few examples. In this post we'll cover typing responsiveness, and in the next post we'll cover the Toolbox – both of which are areas that have a broad impact on Visual Studio performance. We are excited for you to experience Visual Studio 11's performance improvements in the upcoming RC release and without further ado I would like to introduce Eric Knox from the Visual Studio Pro Team to describe to you the work done to improve typing responsiveness for you.
As previous posts on Visual Studio performance have stated, we spent a great deal of time looking across the breadth of Visual Studio for areas to improve. In this post, I'll describe how we approached measuring and improving the typing and editing part of the "edit-compile-debug" loop, due in large part to the UserVoice suggestion to make typing and scrolling more responsive. I'll share the techniques we've developed for assessing Visual Studio's responsiveness and some of the results we've achieved with the measurement style we developed.
As you most likely know, Windows applications are message-based, meaning that all interaction, whether it's a typed character, a mouse move or a request to paint is sent to an application's message loop. If an application spends more time handling a given message than it takes the user or Windows to generate the next message, an application can start falling behind and become "unresponsive."
Since responsiveness is all about whether or not VS is keeping up with the incoming message stream, it is fairly straightforward engineering work to figure out how long any given message takes to process. During Visual Studio 2010 SP1, we added some hooks into the product so we could tell when processing a single message took too long. We released an extension called PerfWatson that recognized unresponsiveness and generated anonymous reports that we collected and aggregated. You can read this earlier blog post about how we used PerfWatson data during Visual Studio 11. One of the most interesting things to know about PerfWatson for today's post is that it collects a mini heap dump which allows us to figure out what Visual Studio code is running at a particular point during the delay.
PerfWatson has been an extremely valuable tool for understanding VS hangs, but the threshold we set for it and the dump files it collects are designed for general application responsiveness, not for interactions that must be immediate such as typing a character and seeing it appear on the screen. Collecting a dump is fast, but it's not fast enough to repeat on a per-keystroke basis. We therefore built a more fine-grained measurement system we call Immediate Delay Tracker (IDT).
Both PerfWatson and IDT are aimed at assessing responsiveness, but they achieve that result in different ways. PerfWatson can tell what code was running at a point in time during a single message's processing by programmatically translating the mini heap dump it collects into a single call stack. Collecting that dump and translating it into a call stack is a modest amount of work both in terms of how much data it collects and how much processing power it takes. IDT, however, is based off of Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) which doesn't take a lot of processing power either but does collect a lot more information than a single call stack. ETW enables Windows to record events and other data important to knowing exactly what was happening during the profiled time period in a low-overhead manner, saving that data into an output trace file (ETL file). One of the main things ETW gives us for analyzing CPU-bound work is a sampled profile of what a computer was doing while we collected a trace. Instead of a single stack like PerfWatson, we can get a call stack every millisecond and then analyze the collection of stacks in aggregate rather than just a single point in time. When a particular function is present across a majority of samples, it is likely that function spent a lot of time processing and is a great place to optimize or even eliminate where possible.
The other thing to know about ETW is that while it is designed to be low overhead when collecting a trace, it's also designed to have as negligible an impact as possible when ETW is not actively collecting a trace. That enables VS engineers to decide what kinds of events would be interesting to record in an ETL file without negatively influencing VS running on customer machines where ETW is unlikely to be collecting a trace. Having the product give an indication of exactly what event is occurring, combined with a sampled profile, allows us to pinpoint the exact periods of time we need to focus on when trying to make a particular scenario faster.
IDT is the tool that combines the ability to turn on ETW tracing along with awareness of some key events to give us visibility into high-frequency, short-duration scenarios. The in-product events IDT is aware of are numerous and include things like the time to process an individual keystroke, how long it took a menu to open and even how long it took a language service to color the code on the screen. With the ETW setup and registration in place, IDT is able to know exactly when these kind of immediate operations happened, how long they lasted and give us a report of how long these "instant" operations took in aggregate.
Knowing how long a set of "instant" operations took is a great step, and having that data enables us to evaluate a developer scenario and say whether actions such as keystroke processing met our expectation or not. But when investigating a scenario that did not meet our expectation, it was difficult to look at the numerous, very short windows of time when VS was processing a message to figure out what VS was doing in aggregate. To help make sense of the data within the trace, the team built another tool on top of the IDT infrastructure that we call RaceTrack.
RaceTrack's main job is to analyze ETL files in a way that allows us to focus on just the time period during the specific events we care about, such as keystroke processing. On top of narrowing down to a single specific event, RaceTrack also has the ability to merge multiple sampled profile periods together so that the code paths which show up most often across multiple occurrences rise to the top of our visibility, exactly like a sampled profile stitches together individual samples over time to show which functions spent a significant amount of time processing.
To use a concrete example, we used RaceTrack to collect an ETL file while some automation code opened a very large C# solution and typed a few thousand characters of valid code into a file. With RaceTrack, we can see things like which character in the input stream had the longest delay, or we can aggregate all the delays together to see what our biggest bottleneck was across all keystrokes. In this screenshot, you can see RaceTrack showing a number of "Input Delay" events at the top which represent characters typed, along with their duration and even what time of day they happened. The bottom pane shows that I'm looking at an aggregated stack of two events, breaking down what percentage of the combined delays were spent in the call stacks on the right.
For C#, it turned out that we were doing some aggressive calculations to figure out what to put in the completion list in order to help provide the right experience of knowing what you could legally type next. With this kind of focused data, we were able to rethink parts of what we were doing during each keystroke, optimizing some of our common code paths as well as eliminating some that we didn't need to be doing at all.
Once we had that kind of tool and data in front of us, we were able to more effectively reason about what each language service was doing and make improvements. Here are the results of just three of our language services, expressed as a percentage of keystrokes above a given millisecond threshold. For the purpose of VS reacting instantly, lower is better:
Visual Studio 2010
Keys above 50ms
Keys above 100ms
Keys above 200ms
And here's an alternate view that more graphically represents how many characters were processed in less than 50ms (the gray of the pie chart) and how the spread of characters above 50ms falls into buckets that we found meaningful (the bar chart). Notice that each language has the same scale for in the before and after bar charts, but the scale between languages is different.
The main caveat from this data is that each language is using a large, representative solution, but this one test is by no means an exhaustive measurement of all typing in those languages. Your mileage may vary compared to what we've measured on our moderately-powered machines where we do regular measurements. If your local results don't mesh with these numbers, you can find out how to help us diagnose problems toward the bottom of this post in the "Next Steps" section.
Having given the caveat, the main takeaways from this data are:
In addition to repetitively running a single test per language on a daily basis to quantify improvements as well as to prevent regressions, we've also deployed an IDT-based monitoring service to internal users within Microsoft in order to get a more exhaustive measurement. This tool runs in the background, watching how long keystrokes and a few other high-frequency, short-duration actions take within VS, counting the number of occurrences within buckets and then phoning that data back home to a central server.
It turns out that the real world follows the trends of what we see above (with C++ performing better than C#), but not surprisingly, our testing lab doesn't represent the real world exactly. When large numbers of developers use VS regularly across a spread of hardware configurations and usage patterns, we can see a small percentage of data points that I didn't expect. For example, the first time I ran the report over the collected data, I was shocked to see that some keystrokes took longer than 30 seconds! It turned out that the folks who logged those values worked on the TFS team, and v1 of our service didn't recognize when modal checkout dialogs came up between the beginning of a keystroke and the end of it.
For full transparency, here's some data specifically from Beta:
The main takeaways from these charts are:
Using this data, we were able to track down some C# users having responsiveness issues. One thing that we found was an issue we fixed in the Beta Update to improve C# responsiveness in large solutions. The issue was a bug where we weren't differentiating an empty dictionary of async-related extension methods from having no async-related extension methods in the solution. That caused us to search for those extension methods on every keystroke. We missed it because that's a fast operation when the entire solution either fits within our symbol cache or has a smaller number of extension methods. These users had solutions with lots of non-async-related extension methods in a solution that didn't fit within our cache. And while we haven't yet collected enough data to regenerate charts with that fix in place, the qualitative assessment from some of the hardest-hit folks was that C# typing was noticeably more responsive after the Beta Update.
The combination of putting the right telemetry into the product, along with tools that can read and process that data in a meaningful fashion helped us tremendously during the development of Visual Studio 11.
For situations when you want to report a responsiveness problem happening on your machine, we've come up with the Microsoft Visual Studio 11 Feedback Tool which can record ETL files. The Feedback Tool knows how to package up the traces along with some other info and send them back to Visual Studio as part of a problem report submission (via Connect) which will make the job of gathering diagnosable information much easier compared to Visual Studio 2010. On our end, once we receive your problem reports about responsiveness in scenarios like typing, we'll open the ETL files using RaceTrack to analyze what was happening on your machine during actions that should be quick in order to try and resolve your issues.
Altogether, I hope that sharing some of our tools, methodologies and even dirty-laundry stories gives you a better understanding of how we're working to make sure that Visual Studio 11 is as solid as it can be.
Eric Knox – Development Manager, Visual Studio Pro Team
Short Bio: Eric has been at Microsoft for 18 years, working on various parts of Visual Studio for the last 14 years. His current role is the development manager in charge of C#, VB, F# and the Visual Studio editor.
In the next post we will cover the changes the team made to improve the Toolbox and those effects throughout the product. Please let me know where you feel we still need improvement and where you see noticeable performance improvements as well. I appreciate your continued support of Visual Studio.
Thanks, Larry Sullivan Director of Engineering
If you are slower than a 4.77 MHz IBM PC doing Wordstar, you are not doing very well, are you.
You can hide GCs but it's a pay me now or pay me later thing. Something's going to pay.
It all may be nice. But with a bland UI as the front and no XP support (Both .net 4.5 and C++), what does it matter?
Those who read a lot of technical blogs are Enterprise Developers. These are the same people who will not be able to use VS 11 because of your Metro/Win RT single mindedness.
There is just no point in talking about all these "improvements" you make, when you refuse to make the "deal breaker" fixes.
Also, I love how you choose to ignore the MOUNTAIN of negative comments from the last two posts...
Just go on pretending we love it... Maybe if you wish enough it will come true.
Also, I am a Windows developer, but I sincerely hope you fail miserably. That ought to teach you that treating us like slaves won't get you far.
Hopefully I'll be laughing at you morons one year from now.
I'm happy with a 7.change % increase in responsiveness; though I doubt it'll be noticeable consciously. I've enjoyed working with the beta so far and am looking forward to trying out the RC.
Thanks for the update.
@Vaccanoll: not everyone is as intransigent as you and the rest of the crowd crying about how the colors have changed. I haven't found myself unable "to use VS 11 because of [the] Metro/WinRT single mindedness" at all.
I'm sure by now the VS team is sick of hearing the whining about the UI; your type has been quite vocal.
I for one am thrilled that the editor will be faster. Constantly typing faster than 2010 could handle was really annoying. This is a very welcome improvement.
Any chance the TFS checkout is async so it doesn't stop me from typing while it checks out the file?
Sounds like a pretty sizable improvement.
Out of curiosity is there any telemetry for comparison to VS2008? We are just now in the process of moving to VS2010, so most of our current development takes place in the 2008 version of the compiler.
I was aware that the 2010 editor was less responsive, but I'm curious to know by how much and further if Dev11 is on par with 2008 or faster at this point.
Thanks sharing this information.
I like the approach of converting general (performance) feedback to specific measureable aspects and actual measure the relevant data from test cases and real world installation.
With this approach the optimization is guided by facts and it is not based on ideology.
The goal of these type of optimizations is not to develop the absolute achievable minimum by spending unlimited effort into it.
I don't want to miss features like syntax highlighting, some online code analysis, intellisense, code style/formatting checks.
I would like to see real-time background compilation and unit test execution and other features.
All these features improving my development productivity!
Clearly performance problems reducing my development productivity and they are very annoying.
Therefore the goal should be that most of the time typing and editing is perceived as responsive and exceptions are very rare.
What is the upper threshold for key typing delays where humans (developers) still perceive typing as responsive?
For me it is not important how this goal is achieved (e.g. managed/unmanaged, mfc/wpf, Assembler/C/C++/C#/xyz, ...).
I expect that the relevant developers do the best to reach the goal. Not more but also not less.
Just a view comments to the topic colors:
1. Performance is for me more important than a VS color schema
2. It would be nice to stick with the performance topic of this post
3. The RC will have more colors
Best regards,
PS: If someone likes the performance of wordstar and don't miss the features of VS I suggest to use notepad and compile with msbuild.
(notepad is also free!)
While the blog post is interesting and it's obviously good that these optimisations are being made, the fact that lag in typing response was ever allowed to become an issue in the first place is very disappointing. It's also worrying when it comes to trusting Microsoft's priorities and/or their continuing ability to develop fit-for-purpose tools.
Thanks for sharing the information. I'm pleased to see that performance is - at last- important. Who can work with an IDE that freezes for a few seconds every minute?
What you are doing to improve responsiveness seems to be very complicated. Have you considered dropping WPF, and writing the editor in C++ instead? ;)
4.77 MHz running Wordstar is to an i7 running VS like Montezuma's revenge compared to Percoset constipation. Nevermind that an i7 is nearly 1000 times faster by the clock, and it is 100 times faster by the IPC, but that this is 30 years later, and it's slower.
here Is my own feedback :-
1. C# like intellisense in html. nah, it's not good. Webmatrix copycat Vs but both made user frustrated if they like to work in VS. notepad++ do a good job already.
2. you made VS dark very good. I have already a idea behind dark is using High contrast themes in windows. Many feature goes disable if I am using High contrast #1 themes in VS.for example CTRL K + D will not worked.
Good news for a change, although, as mentioned, other posts on this blog spoil the fun. No support for XP, no support for developing desktop apps in Express, etc, make sure we will never have a chance to check if the improvements you made to the editor even work for our code.
There have been many fantastic improvements in VS11. Kudos for that.
BUT a huge number of us won't be able take advantage of them for the years to come. XP support and C#/C++ Express are crucial.

TEAMS: New York Yankees
Via The Other Paper:
Derek Jeter apparently had a good laugh after unflattering photos of himself were splashed across the tabloids last week which suggested the New York Yankees star had packed on a few pounds while undergoing recovery from ankle surgery.
The Yankees Captain was even dubbed "Captain Munch" and "Derek Eater."
Jeter, was a guest on Michael Kay's ESPN-NY radio show Monday and made several jokes about the recent photos that led the media to declare that the Yankees shortstop had let himself go.
"I thought it was pretty funny," Jeter said with a laugh. The funny thing is, a day or two before then, people were telling me that I looked like I lost a lot of weight."
Later in the day, Jeter's buddy Harold Reynolds, the former player and current MLB Network analyst, offered photographic proof that Jeter hadn't gone to pot by tweeting a photo of himself and Jeter after they had lunch together on Sunday. The photo shows an actually svelte looking Jeets resembling his old 195-pound self.
Jeter, who had not spoken publicly since having his left ankle surgically repaired in October, told Kay that, after the frumpy fat photos ran, the phone started to ring.
"I had a lot of messages from a lot of different people asking me what I had been doing," he said.
Later in the interview, when he was asked what an athlete with a recovering ankle can do to stay in shape, Jeter joked, "Evidently, I haven't been staying in shape."
At least Reynolds' photo put to rest the perception that the 38-year-old Jeter was turning into a chubby-chaser's dreamboat. In fact, Jeter — who will be in a walking boot for "another few weeks" —insisted that he will be ready by Opening Day.
"We still have a long way to go before the season starts. I'll be ready," he said. "If you think about it, every year when the season is over, you take a few weeks off before you start working out. Quite honestly, I'm not behind schedule on anything right now."
Start spreading the news, The Captain is back on the market and it isn't Shoprite anymore.

Martin Luther King Day is on Monday, but students at one valley school district got a jump on honoring MLK. The entire school district had a parade in his honor.
"It really is good that they're coming together and want to do something to show people, oh we are working together," says Francine Hines.
"He made everybody come together as one instead of the world being separate," says Andrew Ross.
Andrew Ross and about a thousand other students marched to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The parade is held on the Friday before the Martin Luther King Junior holiday. It's a nearly 3 decade tradition for the Roosevelt School District in Phoenix.
"It's very important cause I think sometimes we lose focus you know, on how far we came and to where we are today," says Kenji Dunlap.
"They need to know that Martin Luther King paved the way for them, that this day was set aside for them in order for them to reunite together no matter what color they are," says Hines.
Hines was out with the children watching the others march in a small parade. She lives nearby and comes out every year.
She enjoys watching the children, like Andrew Ross, walk in solidarity. He is inspired too.
"By letting everybody know about Martin Luther King and keep this parade going."
All the students who marched were elementary school children, kindergarten through 8th grade.
