I'm a software engineer basically but have been practicing taekwondo since 2-3 months. I just wanted to know what it takes to get a black belt?
First, bear in mind that this will differ from dojang to dojang. Depending on your association (WTF or ITA for example) there may be a list of techniques you will have to master for each belt. If you are not affiliated with an association, your teacher will have a checklist of things he wants you to learn before each belt. Ask your teacher what the requirements will be.
Other than specific techniques, part of testing is also a fitness assessment. You will have to do a certain amount of each exercise (push-ups, sit-ups, etc...). Again, this varies from dojang to dojang.
At a certain level, your belt test will require sparring and/or board-breaking. Where this begins, again depends on your dojang. Many dojangs begin sparring at green belt.
There will probably be a "time in grade" requirement, i.e. you must hold each belt for a certain number of months before you can test for the next one. Many teachers suggest that earning your black belt can take anywhere from 2 years (too short, if you ask me) to 4 years. Don't get discouraged if you take longer than that, but do be suspicious if it takes less than 2 years. A black belt earned in that short of a time is probably not worth it. Also, bear in mind that the quoted time is if you train consistently, that is, at least two classes a week, if not three or even four. If you skip training because you're tired, you'll lose momentum and eventually get bored and lose interest.
I hate to give you the "it just depends" answer, but it really does just depend on where you train and who you train with. Your teacher is your best resource for this, though it is wise to field this question to the TKD community at large to see what is typical.
I agree with the other answers about the technique varying, but wanted to add one more:
Time and dedication.
We like to say that a "black belt is a white belt who didn't quit" (this is not unique to us, it's a fairly common expression). We also talk about how when a new person enters the dojang it is impossible to tell if they will be one of the ones who sticks it out and keeps working at it.
For us, if you attend all of your classes and are there every week (and no one makes all of them every week for every belt), you are looking at around 4 years of showing up every week. That's a lot of time dedicated to simply becoming a black belt.
If you are putting in that time–especially if you are taking the time you do in class and adding an extra day of personal practice and doing your warmups every day (both of which we strongly recommend)–you have put a lot of time, energy, and effort into your art.
The "black belt" (1 dan) is an arbitrary designation–both for what it takes to get it and for what it means–so your school may have a lot of specifics that they expect to see. Many times the 1 dan barely represents base camp of the art: everything up to that point is, as one person put it for Hapkido, "how to fall and how not to kill people when practicing."
But in general, what will make you a 1 dan:
Rinse, repeat for as long as it takes.
When I tested for 1st Dan, I was asked to perform Gae Baek, which is the blackbelt pattern (kata for all the karate philistines - JK). In addition to that, I was asked to perform two additional colour belt patterns at random. In my case, Won Hyu and Hwaorang.
Then came the demonstration of breaking techniques. I was allowed to choose my own technique and decided on the inner knife-hand strike. I had to break a black and a white nylon board, which is the equivalent of six wooden boards.
After that, I had to demonstrate 10 Tae kyu techniques, which I believe is optional in the curriculum. I also had to demonstrate two real world self-defense techniques ad-hoc.
I was then asked to perform a number of jumping and combination kicks. There was a particularly dificult one called the jumping front kick. What made it dificult was that I had to jump out of an L-stance, kick with my rear leg, and land in the same position. This was to test both my hip flexibility and the strength of my core muscles (the muscles under the bellybutton, in the case of TKD).
After that, I was asked some theory, e.g. what the 5 tenets are and what they mean, as well as some history and things about why we twist the front punch or why the elbow is a good striking tool.
Lastly, I was given two semi full contact sparring matches. Semi-full in the sense that we both wore protective padding.
I like Juann and Wudang Kid's answers, but lets put some perspective on this. Every person that walks, for the first time, in a dojang or dojo wants to know what it takes to become a black belt and what it takes to know all the crazy things they see on TV or in the movies. Never mind the expense of promotion and some belt-factory schools, the question's answer involves the master instructor, time, learning, dedication, discipline, and perseverance but basically boils to what you are willing to do to achieve that rank.
For most taekwondo schools, you can pretty much count on 3 to 4 years to achieve the rank of 1st Dan provided you regularly attend class, stay healthy, and are willing to continue to grow. Once a person achieves that rank, they will likely find that their training has only begun at the point. The real interest of the art is in the mastery of those skills that you learned getting to the black belt rank when you realize that one ends up re-asking (in different ways) many of the questions that you asked as a white belt. By that point, Hollywood stays there and you are hopefully more focused upon how you can grow in the art.

HILLSDALE — It was that quizzical look from a deer while walking in the woods one snowy afternoon near Marquette that inspired Carrie Clevidence Pearson's latest book, "A Warm Winter Tail." Pearson shared that story with a group of family, friends and supporters Saturday morning during a visit to the Hillsdale Public Library. Pearson, a graduate of Hillsdale High School, currently lives in Marquette with her husband Wally and their three daughters. Pearson said she was inspired by the deer, which became the center piece for her book. The book teaches children how animals adapt to the cold through short vignettes from each of the 11 animals in the book. The book, which Pearson began writing in 2008, was submitted to 12 different publishing houses before Sylvan Dell Publishing picked it up. For Pearson the book, which hit store shelves this fall, was her first published work. She said she was truly excited the day she got the letter in the mail telling her the books would be published. The book wasn't Pearson's first attempt at getting published, though. She had been seriously pursuing the career since March 2005. "I always loved writing stories, even as a kid," she said. After reading hundreds of books to her daughters, she said, "Something just clicked one day and I thought I could do this." Pearson's journey writing children's books started in 2005 when the family went on a month-long trip to Arizona. With the family's camper in tow they headed west. She said during that trip she would write at night while the girls were asleep about their adventures each day. Despite receiving 65 rejection letters from publishing houses, Pearson kept pursuing her dream. "My peers have told me that's not a large number. It is a very competitive field," she said. During her presentation Pearson took time to read her book to the children and adults that were in the audience. After the program she took questions and signed copies of her book.
The illustrations for the book were done by Christina Wald of Ohio. Pearson has already signed a contract to write a second book for the publishing company. Her next book will look at how creatures deal with staying cool during the summer. Her working title is "A Cool Summer Spit Bath."
It is expected to hit bookstore shelves in 2014.
She is also currently working on a novel and other works. "I hope whatever I write will be a book children will enjoy," she said. "They are meant to be read to children while sitting in a rocking chair." Children in attendance at the presentation also had the opportunity to make Christmas ornaments and decorate cookies after the event.

The weather doesn't bother me nearly as much as hackneyed phrases like "riding out," "bracing for," and "hunkering down before" the storm. I haven't hunkered since I outgrew hide & go seek, I'm not in a ship at sea so I'm not riding anything out, and I will brace only when the flight attendants tell me to.

Seems there is that panic factor....just stay calm and prepare the way those in the North Country do.
Guess people get to crazy around here, because so many don't know how to drive in the snow, or prepare for the snow, so news channels and public servants keep spreading the word. Very important to check in on elderly or disabled neighbors. There have been stories in past of people dying, because they ran out of fuel and noone checked on them. With all the media today, hopefully, staying in touch is much easier. And as opposed to lack of communication for blizzard of 1978, yes, it seems like there is a bit of overcommunication. Just turn to another station or livestream if you have a computer. Guess we are due for a big one, and the water tables have been so low. Just try to embrace what we can't control and stay safe and warm. A cup of tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and whatever you choose for poison will get you through......winter well!

Conbragulations - I Finished a JayarghpeegeePosted: August 12, 2010
I've tried to sit down and write this blog two times already, and this is my third shot to try to get it right...
I've been throwing my hat in the ring against some of the heavy-weight RPG competetion over the years, and often times I'm struck at how much I enjoy some of them, and how involved I get with the characters, how this games magic system is better than another game's etc. - I've had a lot of the standard experiences that people that truly enjoy playing RPGs have when they play good Japanese developed RPGs.
All that being said, I've never actually completed one. I feel really bad about how far I got in some of the games only to never finish them in their entirety. Titles like Final Fantasies 2 (4)&3 (6) on SNES, 7 & 8 on the PSX, and 10 on the Playstation 2, and sadly enough, there's a slew of other games, mainly PSX, that at one point in time I had my hands on, and never even really bothered to play or finish. Lots of the really sought after PSX classics graced my collection and remained totally unplayed.
Finally, I can hold my head high, and garner some gamer cred, - I played and finished Dragon Quest IX for the Nintendo DS, and it was a total blast - it had all the right elements that really made the game enjoyable, and really made me want to finish it...
I've been doing a lot of thinking about how I'd really like to blog about the game, and how I really enjoy a ton of different aspects of the gameplay, so I've decieded to forgo a review style blog, and go with more of a daily (or close to it) style journal or diary where I can update things I'm doing on the game, because there are new things being added to the game daily, and I'm not going to run out of sidequests any time soon...
I'll fill you in a little on what I've done so far -
I completed the main story quest 2 days ago, and since then I've been taking advantage of being able to get to Slime Hill, which is an area that is unaccesable until you've completed the main adventure. On Slime Hill the encounter rate for Metal Slimes and Liquid Metal Slimes jumps significanly, and you can just run around and level up like mad in this area, for the Liquid Metal Slimes yield somewhere in the neighborhood of 40,000 experience points.
Today for instance, there were two occassions where I killed 3 Liquid Metal Slimes in a battle, and one battle where I managed to take out 4 of them succesfully, thus yielding mega exp, and rapidly leveling even some of my most highest level characters.
I've become somewhat enamoured by the Slimes in the Dragon Quest games - They are a pretty cool mascot, and I think that they would make a pretty cool tattoo... Who knows whats next for my game tats...
I've also started knocking out as many of the Side Quests as possible. Some of them require you be of a certain vocation, and at a certain level, so some quests can't be aquiesed without some major grindage with characters in different classes. I'm positive that to really finish everything in this game I'm going to spend over 200 hours playing it - I'm already at 86 hours played, and I'm definitely looking forward to the immeasurable amount of time I'll be playing it in the coming months.
I do want to touch on the fact that I'm somewhat surprised at how taken I've become with an "E" rated game. In reality, a number of the games I play are usually "M" rated games, and I enjoy my more mature style games i.e. Gears of War or Call of Duty more often that titles that aren't... well... mature... I don't mind the lack of hardcore swearing and depictions of blood and gore in DQIX, and maybe in the future I might try to look past the "E" on "E" rated games...
Alright - so I want to hear from all my fellow 1Uppers to tell me about your DQIX play time, and what you're up to with the game -
In Gelato News - we currently have a flavor thats aptly named "Nut Symphony" which I think may be the worst gelato name I've seen yet since I started work there. I have to keep from laughing/throwing up when people ask to taste it, or get a scoop of it in a cup...
OK, so I'll try to get creative and take some pictures for the next blog, but till then...
The Smell of Urine and Feces Was Overpowering - Overdue Swank Update...Posted: August 05, 2010
First - if you'd like to know the True Hollywood Story of the title of the blog, it's explained at the end of the blog.
Second, I'm sorry 1UP community - I've neglected my blog for about a month now, and I honestly feel guilty about it. I've layed in bed at night and wondered what some of my friends on here have been up to, and beat myself up for not just sitting down and writing something quick, or commenting on blogs on a daily basis like I had been for 7 straight months.
Why the sudden lay off?
There's a couple of different reasons...
- My 360 finally bit it.
After struggling to remedy the vicious E71, which is related to some sort of dashboard/HDD error, my baby finally ground to a halt, and none of the recommended home remedies worked anymore. Luckily, I was able to transfer all my important game saves and profiles to a memory card on one of the last occasions that I was able to get the beast to actually fire up, so I hopefully won't be pitching a fit about my second lost gamertag in a future blog.
2. The HD TV that I had been using while playing said 360 mysteriously fell, and immediately broke.
Of course, that's a load of total horse shit. I had the TV balanced precariously on some assorted items so that I could have a better viewing angle from where I was seated, and while I was fooling around with the dead 360 one day, trying to revive it somehow, I was careless, and knocked the fucker over, thus killing it. It was less than 2 months old. The life of my first HD set was short lived, but I spent many a good hours getting my game on with it.
3. With the release of Dragon Quest IX on the horizon, I purchased a DSi XL.
And I love it. I've had a few handheld consoles in the past - even a DS Lite, but I had never really stuck with any one for any extended amount of time. Enter my new midnight blue XL... I was really jonesing for some gaming after my 360 keeled over, and surprisingly, the DSi XL has filled the gigantic void that the 360 left in my heart when it died.
4. Ummm... DRAGON QUEST IX!!!!
Now, let me preface this by saying that I've been playing Japanese developed RPGs since the inception of Final Fantasy, but I've just never had the patience, or willingness to really get into any of the many RPGs I've played over the years. The fact is, until the 360 died, I played primarily FPS titles, and had become surprisingly adequate at handling my own on MW2, a title I've found that a lot of hardcore RPG players... well... hate.
I can't honestly say what it was about DQ IX that made me rush out and buy it just days after the release - I haven't done that with another title in ages. Hell, I've only played minor bits and pieces of other Dragon Quest titles in the past, so I can't call myself a gigantic fan of the series (until now.)For some odd reason I felt compelled to play the game, and the honest truth is, I'm a better gamer for doing so.
I HEART DQ IX. I haven't played a game with the ardent ferver that I've attacked this game with since... well... MW2 - Let me put it a different light - I haven't played a RPG with this much since, I don't know, maybe FF VII...
I've already spent 66 hours in game, and from the looks of it, this game has enough content to span another 100 - 200 hours. Maybe more.
I have next to no qualms with the game - it's been an amazing example of what a Japanese developed RPG should be. It's been a whole lot of fun, and the depth of the gameplay astounds, as well as intimidates, me at times.
One thing that did bother me straight away was my inability to name my character "Swank", as I do with almost all my in game characters from various games. The game said that the name was not allowed, so I had to work around the weird censorship, and call myself Sw@nk. Not a great big deal.
And the most unfortunate reason why I've neglected my 1UP blog, and more imprtantly, the awesome 1UP community is...
5. Sometimes I can be a lazy bastard.
Unfortunately, this is true, but I can promise the awesome 1UP community that I am back on the horse again (not heroine) and will be blogging and commenting on blogs like mad again!
In fact, I've really cut a lot of the content on this blog kind of short, so I expect to be writing a little more in depth about some of my adventures with DQ IX, and my new found love, my DSi XL.
Oh yes - the little story behind the title of this blog...
So, some of you know I work in a gelato shop, so there are a lot of parents who bring their disgusting kids in for gelato.
One day, not too long ago, there was a family of 5 or 6, I can't remember exactly because truthfully, I've tried to blot most of the incident out of my memory, and... well... the kids reeked so badly of urine and feces that the entire store just stunk, and it was overpowering - I had a hard time focusing on the other customers that I was helping because I was trying to catch a breath of semi-fresh air. After the smelly people left, my co-worker actually asked me I had smelled them. I had to laugh - how could I have not smelled them - It was awful.
And know you now.

Buying a crib mattress is usually a last-minute afterthought. Let's be honest, it's not as glamorous as the crib's design or as high profile as the car seat - but shouldn't it be? Crib mattresses are an investment in your child's health and development, especially considering your baby will be on it for up to 70 percent of his or her first four years. And to top it off, some of those hand-me-down mattresses might not be safe.
Many longstanding baby products have been rethought and redesigned because they contain chemicals (BPA, PVC, phthalates, etc.) that are now considered dangerous. As of February 10, 2009, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CSPIA) banned certain varieties of phthalates from crib mattresses (most notably found in standard vinyl coverings) after evidence linked them to endocrine system problems and possibly cancer. And the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) reported that phthalates could cause more damage to babies than adults because their bodies are still developing.
The following mattresses all adhere to the government's new standards, and most go above and beyond, eliminating vinyl coverings altogether. Keep in mind that some of these substitutions require spray treatments to keep them wet and stain-resistant, and other mattresses require a mattress pad to keep odor, dust mites and bacteria from creeping in over time. Use your discretion as to how "natural" you're comfortable with, but have peace of mind that the mattresses in this guide (including the runners up!) are safe choices for your little one. Some might have a higher price tag than the norm, but most have been modified with organic and/or naturally derived products so both you and your baby can sleep better at night.
RUNNERS UP | Colgate Eco-Spring 2-in-1
You can't go wrong with this eco-friendly, convertible innerspring by Colgate, which was almost our "Best Innerspring" choice. If you want a durable, reliable and, most importantly, organic mattress that doesn't trust spray-on treatments for waterproofing, this could be the mattress for you. It uses organic cotton, ecologically friendlier foam made with plant oils instead of petroleum-based oils, and coir fiber from coconut shell husks for insulation. Although the mattress is protected from mold and mildew with a waterproof backing, a mattress pad is recommended to protect the super soft cotton cover from stains and wetness.

January 31, 2013
It is still a few months away, but organizers of the second-annual Tom Tom Founders Festival have announced a new partnership that could win you thousands of dollars for your creative ideas.
Last year's festival spanned a month, jam-packed with dozens of concerts, block parties and creative expos. This year, organizers are condensing similar events to a four-day period this Founders Weekend.
But they say, even with the changes, the festival's mission remains the same -- it's all about local innovation.
"I think we're all trying to promote an entrepreneurial ecosystem in Charlottesville," said Paul Beyer, director of the Tom Tom Founders Festival. "We're trying to do that through the community."
The festival is teaming up with the Batten Institute at the University of Virginia's Darden School of Business for this year's kick-off event -- a pitch night where local entrepreneurs will compete for $10,000 in cash prizes and a chance to grow their idea with the help of Darden experts.
"We have all the infrastructure and resources, so one of the things Darden felt it could do is to reach out to the community and offer the same kind of support we would offer a Darden student to someone from the community who wants to start a business," said Philippe Sommer, director of Darden's Center for Entrepreneurial Leadership.
An audience will pick three winners at the "U.Pitch. C'ville Decides." event. The top idea will also get the chance to be part of an incubator at the university.
The competition will coincide with the expansion of the Innovation Lab, or i.Lab, at UVa. Crews are working to construct a new, state-of-the-art incubator, which will be open to qualifying local, community start-ups.
Sommer says the pitch night will be just one of many opportunities for entrepreneurs to get involved in the incubator, a place for entrepreneurs to tap into its resources.
"So they come into the incubator, they get legal support, they get accounting support, they get space, we hook them up with mentors who will support their businesses and then we give them some cash to help them start their business get incorporated and really figure out, is this a business that will have traction and how do I grow it," said Sommer.
The two groups say they hope blending their shared goal of supporting fresh ideas will make Charlottesville a more innovative and entrepreneurial community.
Applications for the "U.Pitch. C'ville Decides." contest will be available mid-February.
Last year's inaugural festival drew a crowd of more than 6,700 people.
Beyer says a similar pitch night featured at the 2012 festival included start-up ideas ranging from catering companies to daycare businesses and web technology.
The Tom Tom Founders Festival kicks off April 11. To learn more about the festival and the contest, go to www.tomtomfest.com.
The expanded i.Lab facility will also formally open April 11.

What causes migraines?
Migraine headaches seem to be caused in part by changes in the level of a body chemical called serotonin. Serotonin plays many roles in the body, and it can have an effect on the blood vessels. When serotonin levels are high, blood vessels constrict (shrink). When serotonin levels fall, the blood vessels dilate (swell). This swelling can cause pain or other problems.
What can set off a migraine?
Things that can set off migraines include the following:
- Strong or unusual odors, bright lights or loud noises
- Changes in weather or altitude
- Feeling tired, stressed or depressed
- Changes in sleeping patterns
- Certain foods (see the list below), especially those that contain tyramine, sodium nitrate or phenylalanine
- Missing meals or fasting
- Menstrual periods, birth control pills or hormonal changes (in women)
- Intense physical activity, including sexual activity
- Smoking
- Fumes
Foods that may trigger migraines:
- Aged, canned, cured or processed meat, including bologna, game, ham, herring, hot dogs, pepperoni and sausage
- Aged cheese
- Alcoholic beverages, especially red wine
- Aspartame
- Avocados
- Beans, including pole, broad, lima, Italian, navy, pinto and garbanzo
- Brewer's yeast, including fresh yeast coffee cake, donuts and sourdough bread
- Caffeine (in excess)
- Canned soup or bouillon cubes
- Chocolate, cocoa and carob
- Cultured dairy products, such as buttermilk and sour cream
- Figs
- Lentils
- Meat tenderizer
- Monosodium glutamate (MSG)
- Nuts and peanut butter
- Onions, except small amounts for flavoring
- Papaya
- Passion fruit
- Pea pods
- Pickled, preserved or marinated foods, such as olives and pickles, and some snack foods
- Raisins
- Red plums
- Sauerkraut
- Seasoned salt
- Snow peas
- Soy sauce

Speaking to Asharq Al-Awsat, the experts said the supply surplus in the international oil market had reached 900,000 barrels a day and that "this surplus was being purchased by some of the major countries to add to their reserves, including China and India."
Energy affairs expert, Ni'mat Abu Al-Souf, told Asharq Al-Awsat that a strategy of building reserves was being implemented by some of the world's major net oil consumers, regardless of cost.
He said "the strategy to increase the reserves is to confront market fluctuations or the reduction in supply, amid high consumption in these countries."
Abu Al-Souf added that "China produces around four million barrels of oil daily while it consumes 10 million barrels per day, therefore, it needs to be prepared for any interruption or reduction in supply."
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia's efforts to decrease domestic oil consumption are expected to bear fruit in the near future.
Abu Al-Souf said "Saudi Arabia has started taking effective measures to reduce domestic energy consumption by relying on gas. Current consumption ranges between 2.8 and 3 million barrels per day."
He predicted that the benefits of the programs to reduce energy consumption in Saudi Arabia will start to show within two years.
Meanwhile, economics expert Faisal Al-Iqab said the increase in the strategic reserve of some countries was aimed at protecting their markets from world market fluctuations or reductions in supply. He said "amid the geopolitical crises in the region, especially in Libya, Iran, and Syria, countries which have high consumption rates try to take precautionary measures by increasing their strategic reserves."
Meanwhile, Abdelwahab Al-Sa'adoun, Secretary-General of the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA) said "the economic development in some countries has an important impact on the volume of international demand for oil. This is what is taking place in China, one of the largest world markets in terms of demand for oil, which largely relies on Saudi oil in particular, and Gulf oil in general."
He added that a drop in the rate of economic growth in China in the final months of 2012 reduced demand. In turn, this prompted Saudi Arabia to reduce its production by around 700,000 barrels per day, to reach the current level of 9 million barrels per day.
Al-Sa'adoun added that Saudi Arabia was still playing a balancing role in the international oil market. He said: "Saudi Arabia has smart policies, through which, balance can be maintained in world markets, and which gives markets and investors confidence in its policies."
Al-Sa'adoun said despite the increase in domestic production in the United States, American imports still stood at around 8 million barrels per day. He added that Saudi Arabia was able to reach a level of oil production of 12.5 million barrels per day, should the world markets need it.

Programming tool
|Software development process
A software developer at work

|Supporting disciplines
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (August 2010)
A programming tool or software development tool is a program or application that software developers use to create, debug, maintain, or otherwise support other programs and applications. The term usually refers to relatively simple programs, that can be combined together to accomplish a task, much as one might use multiple hand tools to fix a physical object.
The distinction between tools and applications is murky. For example, developers use simple databases (such as a file containing a list of important values) all the time as tools.[dubious ] However a full-blown database is usually thought of as an application or software in its own right.
For many years, computer-assisted software engineering (CASE) tools were sought after. Successful tools have proven elusive.[citation needed] In one sense, CASE tools emphasized design and architecture support, such as for UML. But the most successful of these tools are IDEs.
The ability to use a variety of tools productively is one hallmark of a skilled software engineer.
List of tools[edit]
Software tools come in many forms:
- Binary compatibility analysis: icheck, ABI Compliance Checker
- Bug Databases: Comparison of issue tracking systems - Including bug tracking systems
- Build Tools: Build automation, List of build automation software
- Code coverage: Code coverage#Software code coverage tools. Software Diagnostics
- Code Sharing Sites: Freshmeat, Krugle, Sourceforge, GitHub. See also Code search engines.

- Documentation generators: Comparison of documentation generators, help2man, Plain Old Documentation, asciidoc
- Formal methods: Mathematically-based techniques for specification, development and verification
- GUI interface generators
- Library interface generators: SWIG
- Integration Tools
- Memory debuggers are frequently used in programming languages (such as C and C++) that allow manual memory management and thus the possibility of memory leaks and other problems. They are also useful to optimize efficiency of memory usage. Examples: dmalloc, Electric Fence, Duma, Insure++, Valgrind
- Parser generators: Parsing#Parser development software
- Performance analysis or profiling: List of performance analysis tool
- Refactoring Browser
- Revision control: List of revision control software, Comparison of revision control software
- Scripting languages: PHP, Awk, Perl, Python, REXX, Ruby, Shell, Tcl
- Search: grep, find

- Static code analysis: List of tools for static code analysis
- Tools to simplify work with set of projects TBox
- Text editors: List of text editors, Comparison of text editors
- Unit testing: List of unit testing frameworks
Integrated Development Environments combine the features of many tools into one package. They for example make it easier to do specific tasks, such as searching for content only in files in a particular project. IDEs may for example be used for development of enterprise-level applications.
Different aspects of IDEs for specific programming languages can be found in this comparison of integrated development environments.

On a chilly Saturday morning, it's hard not to wish that Punxsutawney Phil missed his shadow when he crawled out of his home to make his prediction. To the delight of the freezing masses gathered around Gobbler's Knob, Phil declared that there was no shadow to see, promising an early spring this year.
According to the Stormfax Weather Almanac, Phil has correctly predicted the weather only 39 percent of the time since 1887. Still, with a week that saw 60 degree weather followed days after by snow blasts, getting the weather report from a woodland creature does not seem all that outlandish.
Continue to stay warm, and we'll find out soon if good ol' Phil was right this time.

. Reagan increased the national debt by over 250% in less than 8 years time with no active wars.…Read MoreBus h Sr. increased the debt another 66% in just 4 years with no ongoing wars, Bush Jr. increased the national debt another 90% in 8 years when he inherited BUDGET SURPLUSES, and no wars. When Bush left office he left behind massive new debt, no jobs, a major recession, two wars, and growing national debt. But then the tea party comes along and wants it to all go away. They want the country to stop spending money at a time when unemployment is growing. Show me a single time in history, just one, when the US was spending less money during a recession. It doesn't happen. As people are out of work the government takes in less in taxation. This is not the time to reduce government spending which will drive the country into a depression. The tea nuts know NOTHING about economics and how it works. They are like little children throwing a temper tantrum.

Companion 3 vs Companion 5
Companion 5 adds depth to the sound which Companion 3 lacks off. It makes a huge difference to listening to music and movies.

The de I've owned these for a few years now and spent so much time listening to them that I didn't have time to write a review.
The desktop speakers look great and have a good spread of sound. The bass unit is quite big, but I have mine tucked away under the desk and out of site.
If you go for something with a bit of va va voom about it, such as "War machine -ACDC" or "Whole lotta love - Led Zepplin" you get a real sense of the balance between the massive bass unit and the desktop speakers.
The sound is very impressive for the money.
The control "puck" is brilliant too, a simple touch on/off and a volume ring that allows you to really annoy the neighbours. It goes very LOUD if you want it to.
I'm glad I went the extra and got these over the 3. …

Good, but not perfect! (I went with Harmon Kardon Sound Sticks)

I had the day to myself so set them both up and was able to switch instantaneously between the two. To cut this short I found the Bose to have slightly clearer/crisper vocals and punchier bass. But the way it integrates the sub into the satellites is quite poor and the sound from the sub is very directional if you have it to the side of your desk (as I have to). It isn't the end of the world, but it stops them being worth £300 if you have to set up in this way.
The Sound Sticks, whilst not quite as crisp and punchy, integrate the sub far better and the sound from the low end is not directional at all. As such I kept the Soundsticks as the Bose were 3 times the price and far from perfect. Personally, I also think the Bose products are starting to look a bit dated.
If you can position the sub in front of you, then its a slightly different matter. But bear in mind the Sound Sticks are a third of the price if you shop around, and they are more than adequate for the average user.
All the best …

Only the Best!
As with all BOSE products, the quality is extremely high and is matched by the deep, rich sounds you get from any BOSE audio produ As with all BOSE products, the quality is extremely high and is matched by the deep, rich sounds you get from any BOSE audio product. No need to use any equalizer programs for your music playback as the system handles all that and plays back with clear and concise audio. The Base speaker is VERY 'basey' and I have found I had to turn it down to about level 4 for fear of vibrating my house down! If you do turn up the volume, you will not get any of the speakers to vibrate/ distort sound at all, unlike my windows when I tried it!
I did have a defective control 'pad' where the headphone socket only played in one ear. I contacted BOSE customer services by e-mail.........30 minutes later they were on the phone to me asking me to pop the control pad into the store where they opened up a new Companion 5 and exchanged it straight away. Now, if that isn't customer service, I don't know what is! (OK, they could have popped it round!)
I would recommend this product to anyone who can afford it and anyone who loves to listen to music. If you can't afford this product, at least go for the Companion 3! …

Sound investment!
This top of the range BOSE system is one of the best, if not the best, computer speaker systems on the market and is great value f This top of the range BOSE system is one of the best, if not the best, computer speaker systems on the market and is great value for money. I really like the reliability that the wired connections provide and am a big fan of the simple USB computer connection. The speakers come with one of the easiest to follow instruction manuals I have seen in a long time and linking the bits together is extremely simple. The software linkage to my iMac was straightforward.
The sound the system produces is sublime. I love my music and my old favourites have been greatly refreshed with the Companion 5. The source of the music is irrelevant. It might be iTunes, Spotify, or online radio via my Radium App. Movie watching has been similarly enhanced. The system does wonders with the soundtracks. Again the source is irrelevant.
Apart from the minimalist good looks, and solid construction quality, I appreciate being able to adjust the Bass and adore the neat wired control hub. It is delightful to use, is very sensitive to the touch and lets you easily connect a set of headphones if you want private listening.
If you seek an excellent computer sound system, be sure to check out the Companion 5. …

as a graduate student on a college campus where undergrads and grads don't share buildings/classrooms, this was the greatest investment ever. those first 80+ sunny days of the summer turn the quad into a regular middle eastern harem minus the burkas. it's a barely but still legal extravaganza of half clothed aspiring doctors, lawyers, business chicks, and more! the great thing about this is the focus. you can really hone in on the finer details of their hands and imagine them at work. sensually removing bread from a bag. spreading mayo on one slice. maybe toss on some lettuce pickles and turkey. oh man. it's getting hot in here...
Absolutely, when I see half dressed women I also imagine what it'd be like to see their hands making me a sammich.

In past studies, fish oil has been shown to significantly reduce the incidence of heart disease, but a new study from the Netherlands indicates that for people with diabetes, this may not be the case. The study, published in the July 1993 issue of Diabetes Care, took place over a 16 year period and included 272 people from the town of Rotterdam, 27 of whom had diabetes and 56 with glucose intolerance. Fish intake was the equivalent of 1 meal of fish per week.
Although the results show an immediate reduction in the risk of heart disease in nondiabetic participants, it is ten years before any reduction is seen in people with diabetes, and even then it's not statistically significant. In light of the fact that fish oil has been linked to the deterioration of glycemic control in people with NIDDM, you should consult your doctor before incorporating it into your diet. According to the researchers, though, a recommendation of one dish of fish per week for someone with diabetes can be supported, although its main value is the reduction of saturated fat intake.

MCC aids church in providing for displaced families in Colombia
January 23, 2009
BOGOTA, Colombia – People were forced to abandon their land in the early months of 2008 because of fighting between illegal paramilitary groups in the Choco province of Colombia.
A large number of the displaced families were members of Mennonite Brethren churches from the towns of Basuro and Baudó.
Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) sent $7,500 to the Mennonite Brethren Church in Istmina to help them respond with emergency food provision.
"We had never seen such massive displacements before; we never imagined it would happen here, in our communities. We never thought it could happen to us," said Yulie Mosquera, coordinator of the Social Service Ministry of the Jerusalem Mennonite Brethren Church in Istmina.
The church provided perishable food items and grains. Dry food aid was given by the local government and other organizations.
"Service to the community is the mission of the church. It is part of our Mennonite identity," said Manuel Mosquera, pastor of the Istmina Mennonite Brethren church and local coordinator of the emergency aid response.
Another wave of displacement occurred in May. These families did not go to Istmina, so the Mennonite Brethren church sent food aid to the site where 400 people sought refuge.
"In the church we always hear about and talk about service, but this gave us an opportunity for people to really get involved," said Yulie Mosquera.
The church response impacted the larger community. "Other churches saw what we were doing and started to ask how they could get involved too," said Mosquera.
A health initiative was jointly planned by the community pastors. A psychologist and doctors attended to the needs of families while church members across denominations coordinated children's activities, clothing distribution and worship services.
In September 2008, the majority of the 450 families returned. Some found their farms had gone wild, and others had their lands blocked by the armed groups.
With MCC's support, the church built chicken pens for those who were unable to access their land. This allowed people to raise chickens in their yards in town.
Even though helping the displaced families could put Pastor Mosquera and his congregation in danger from the armed groups, he says, "As long as we are alive there is hope, and there are opportunities to serve."

I am a hopeless romantic. I like salsa. I read magazines from back to front. When it's raining, I would prefer not to be in a car--behind the wheel or otherwise, but otherwise I am a cautious driver (unless I'm in a hurry). Until about a year ago, I was "borrowing" Internet from my neighbor. I have no agenda when it comes to relationships. My favorite nail polish color is OPI I'm Not Really a Waitress. I wore a blue dress to my wedding. I have a massive growing collection of pajama pants. I try to go to the gym for at least an hour every day (not 'cause I love it). When used together, the colors brown and light blue, are soothing to me. Writing songs is where my heart is. I miss my grandpa every day. "Coal Miner's Daughter" is still one of my all-time favorite movies. I can spend hours and hours in Target. I believe a good pedicure can cure anything. I like people that tell the truth. I sleep with a vaporizer on in my room. My alarm clock sounds like a rooster. I like "real" music. I like good smelling soap and candles. I use the websites UrbanDictionary.com and google.com at least once every single day. My mom is most likely the funniest person on this planet. I lose my keys multiple times every single day. I love TIGI Hard Head hairspray. I poured finger nail polish remover in my eye when I was little. I have a few of the best girlfriends I could have ever dreamed up in my head. I like making people laugh. I'll do anything FOR a laugh. I would prefer the egg white to the yolk. Thank God for skinny jeans, remote controls and Starbucks (not in that order). Hearing a child's laughter is the most honest sound you will ever hear. Singing at the Ryman gives me chills. Eddie Stubbs voice is where it's at. I LOVE TJ MAXX! I am often times distracted by my own cleavage. I like shoes that have at least four-inch heels. I make an apology if an apology is needed. I'm married to a police officer, and I've had relatives in the slammer…makes for interesting family get-togethers. Bad weather scares me. I walk better in heels than I do flats. I burn my finger with the flat iron EVERY time I use it… no exceptions. I wonder every single day what the hell we did before cell phones. Feel confident saying "I have seen evil"…. ONCE. Recycling is one thing I have a hard time with. I like people that are funny but don't know it. My husband is the best thing that's ever happened to me. I live in Texas. I am obsessed with Words With Friends even though I never win. I wish they had a dirty phrases version… I would win. I cannot stand it when women wear just a sports bra and shorts to the gym…then proceed to get on the treadmill. My past is what makes me who I am today. I like to vacuum and do laundry, but detest taking out the trash. Charmin is a great toilet paper. I lost the spelling bee when I was in third grade on a word I am too embarrassed to write. I have loved shoes since I was a little girl. I have done things in my life I am not proud of, but I have no regrets. Wish more people would do the same. I can see through fake people. Put curtains on your windows. I always tip at least 25 percent (unless the waiter suuuuucks). I love TOM SELLECK… STILL!

2330 J St, Sacramento, CA | Directions 9581638.575354 -121.474904
Neighborhoods: Central Sacramento, Midtown
Coffee the best – This is the best place if you want to drink coffee and also there potato platter is very delicious.
Worst breakfast ever! – I have heard so many great things about The Cornerstone. I have never gone before. So this morning my husband and I decided to try it. Big mistake! The service was very quick. But the food was just nasty. I ordered The California Omelet. My eggs were burned. They were a rubbery brown. The turkey meat inside it was dark gray and tasted like the chicken in Campbells condensed chicken soup. The potatoes that came with it were also burned and had absolutely no flavor! My husband ordered The Biscuits and Gravy. They also were just horrible. The gravy actually jiggled like it was jello! And it had no flavor. We each ate about 2 bites of our so called meal ans just had to leave. When we told the waitress just how gross the food was she looked at us with this very nasty sneer. We paid and left. I will never go back to this place.
Just Okay – It was alright. No kid items and hardly a selection. Kinda dirty and unorganized.Service was junk. Don't really need to go back.
Confusing. – I finally went into Cornerstone Cafe after seeing a ridiculous amount of people whenever I would pass by on the weekends.
The prices are cheap, but unfortunately, it reflects the quality of the food. I don't eat meat, and I had a really difficult time finding anything that would work for me. Finally, I settled on an a veggie omelet with cheese. I was disgusted when I saw my "cheese" omelet simply had the weirdo plastic single servings type cheese melted on top it. I couldn't even eat it. Maybe they have plenty of fine items for meat eaters, but I really don't recommend it for vegetarians. Although it was fun to sit outside on a nice day, and do some people watching.
great food and coffee – Just stopped by while I was in town. Thought to myself kind of old and not much to look at, but lets give it a try. I was quite surprised at how good the food was. The coffee how ever was great. Not your typical diner flavor. Tasted like a gourmet type. I had an omlet and I could not finish it, which is unusual for me.
I will definitely be back. Even if just for the coffee.
Best big Breakfast – Best place to go for breakfast when you want a big meal. I would get the Potato Platter.Great coffee too!
Cozy Corner Spot - Great Value – Ambiance is very cafe. Food is wonderful and fairly priced. Portions are huge. Service was VERY friendly and attentive. A new favorite for breakfast for us.
Ecstacy after every bite! – I've been going to this ravishing place of love for half of my life and i must say that every time i go, everyone is cordially inviting me to my commodious seat. And everytime i sit down i scream inside because if feels like i am sitting in a flower of love!
Every bite of the pancake reminds me that this is the closest to heaven I can get...it just feels like someone is touching my tralala
The toast is unmatched around the country i must assert. It is perfect in everyway...jsut beautiful like the toaster herself. Flawless...just words cannot decribe it
I never want to leave, but the cashier...shes one in a million everytime i leave she greets me with a smile that is sui generis....
I enter with the feeling of depression and failure, but i exit feeling invigorating and like i can beat down a i liger
Darn good food – Used the 10 best breakfast list and tried this place. Not good looking but the food was great. The service was friendly and fast. I would definatly go back next time I am in town.
wonderful food and people – after coming for so many months at cornerstone midtown, i have grown accustomed to their methods of creating a great restaurant... the waitresses give good service and if you sit at the counter, you get to observe the other workers who are rather left unnoticed... the toaster-person takes his time to make wonderful and fresh toast and the cashier is always willing to give a smile. what's greater than people who take the time to satisfy your morning?
