Here's my slide deck from the CLR v4 talk at the 2009 Belgium and Finland Tech Days. It's been updated slightly to reflect changes in the security model that I didn't have time to cover in my talk. Also, keep in mind that there are a few 3.5 SP1 features discussed in this deck--startup performance, client profile and full GC notifications.

If you have any questions about new functionality in CLR v4 please feel free to send me a mail or post a question on the CLR team blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/clrteam.

Andrew Pardoehttp://blogs.msdn.com/Andrew-Pardoe/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxAnswer to students regarding "what should I learn"?http://blogs.msdn.com/b/apardoe/archive/2008/04/21/answer-to-students-regarding-what-should-i-learn.aspx2008-04-21T07:14:00Z2008-04-21T07:14:00Z
I often hear the same question at conferences--what books should I read to be successful? Technology books have been massive and plentiful from the days of Knuth's Art of Computer Programming to today's mega-pulp series like [Programming Language] Unleashed and [Operating System] Secrets Revealed. It's impossible for one person to keep current on everything, which is why I so frequently am asked "what is it that I really need to know?"

My answer hasn't changed (much) since the first time I was asked. I don't believe it's important to know a lot of technologies because they change all too quickly. What's important is to understand how these technologies work. If you can reason critically about a new technology you can easily pick up new skills when you need to.

Some technologies don't change, of course. For example, computer architecture has been much the same my entire life. Learning C++ will no doubt be worth your while. Being able to program against the Win32 API seems pretty useful. If you could predict which of the new technologies will succeed then you could just learn those. But if you can predict accurately which technologies will succeed you should forget programming and turn your talents toward stock speculation!

COBOL did so well that for years it seemed like it would rule the world. (In fact, it's still popular in some markets as Fujitsu's COBOL .NET.) Nowadays, knowing COBOL won't help you get many jobs. FORTRAN was the only programming language to know from the very beginning but times have turned against it. And these two languages had pretty good runs. I bet you can name at least five web programming technologies, two of which are obsolete. What can you learn today that will still be useful tomorrow? I recommend learning the basics. Stretching your mind. And applying what you already know to creating something useful and interesting.

Where do you learn the basics? Experience, of course. But even if you don't have much of your own, you can borrow some of Jon Bentley's. He's the author of one of the greatest books about programming ever written, called Programming Pearls. (Don't confuse it with Larry Wall's Programming Perl which is also a great book but definitely not in the same class as Bentley's book.) Bentley's book is a collection of about 20 problems which he analyzes and solves with elegant and insightful reasoning. It's a fun book to read and it's fairly short. And it's been around long enough that you can probably find it in your own language or in a used bookstore. (If you happen to find a copy of Programming Pearls Volume 2 let me know--it's been out of print for decades!)

How do you stretch your mind? Computing was for years a very theoretical pursuit. In days of old when machines were scarce, they developed three main models of computation: Turing machines, Backaus Normal Form, and lambda calculus. While all these models have the same expressiveness, almost all popular programming languages follow the Turing machine model. Backaus Normal Form is used to create parsers, and lambda calculus forms the basis of functional popular languages. Stretch your mind a little: learn a little about lambda calculus by learning a functional programming language.

At one time I did a lot of programming in Lisp, which was a very popular language back when academic types ruled the computing world. I don't use it at all today, but learning it certainly wasn't a waste of time because it changed the way I think about programming. In fact, when I first started at Microsoft I still used to prototype my algorithms in Lisp to prove them quickly, then I would convert them to C++. (That stopped when I learned Perl…)

All functional programming languages are pretty much the same. (The previous statement is similar to saying "C# is pretty much the same as C++.") There are some proud outliers--Haskell is the purest of the functional languages, and Scheme has a reputation for being simple and useful. But they're all different flavors of the same paradigm. (In fact, you could probably learn a fair bit about functional languages by limiting yourself to the weird new features of C# 3.0, but working in a "real" functional language will help to keep you honest.)

I'd suggest learning F#, which is developed at Microsoft Research. It comes from ML, which is a reasonably good family of functional languages. One ML variety is OCAML, which extends ML with the ability to use objects. F# is a dialect of OCAML and allows access to the whole .NET Framework. It also has fantastic Visual Studio integration which means you get autocompletion, Intellisense and a world-class debugger. I don't know if Microsoft shipping a functional language means they will finally come back to rule the world. But I do know that Visual Studio is far more pleasant than Emacs, my editor of choice when I was using Lisp heavily. F# info is available at http://research.microsoft.com/fsharp/fsharp.aspx.

Lastly, do something useful with what you already know (or what you almost know.) My bookcases at work are overflowing with books. I have too often falling victim to reading about something and thinking I've learned it well enough. But without applying the knowledge you miss out on the best part: the satisfaction of building a program that does something, no matter how simple. Maybe you find computing Fibonacci or reversing strings a good way to fritter away an afternoon, but I like to interact with the world. I do that by developing little tools that help me with my work. Some people like to program games; others like to write programs to solve puzzles. Just write something that you find interesting and useful that you can show off to your friends.

I've attached a little program I wrote years ago. I had just bought my first laptop and it wasn't very powerful. I found Windows Media Player to be a bit heavyweight for my poor little machine and so I started looking for the smallest CD player I could find. Eventually I decided to just write one.

Writing a CD player sounds ambitious (well, it sounded ambitious to me before I started) but it turned out to be pretty easy to get exactly what I want. The CD player has no UI. In fact, my CD player doesn't even run while you listen to music. It just starts the disc spinning and exits. I let the Windows Multimedia Services take care of all the hard work for me. In the end, the most challenging part about the program was getting it to be small enough. And it is small enough: small enough that if you run it with the -c switch it will open a message box displaying all of its source code. Making the code fit into a MessageBox was the most fun part of the problem.

What's important is that I used my skills to fill a need. I learned a thing or two in the process. Writing a little tool that you'll use every day is a great way to remind yourself why you started programming in the first place. Understanding how to reason critically about problems will help you identify how and when you should use a given technology to solve that problem. And learning a functional language just might help to get you out of a rut one day when you can't think past the mindset you're stuck in.

So there you have it--my very biased opinion of what you need to know. More to the point, it's my opinion of what you don't need to know. If you find Silverlight interesting or you think it's the right tool to solve your problem by all means learn about XAML and .NET and go have fun. If you think knowing Flash will help you solve problems effectively then go learn Flex. But don't learn something just because you think everyone else must know it or that you might need to know it one day. Spend your time learning the basics, stretching your mind, and solving problems that you find interesting and fun.

Here's the project from my Silverlight demo. Have fun making a real application out of it : )

I really enjoyed talking at EDC yesterday. I only wish I hadn't been so jetlagged (and that I hadn't knocked over a bottle of water on my laptop!) Cairo is a fantastic place to give talks because attendees are so passionate about technology. I had great fun and I hope you enjoyed yourselves and maybe learned something.

Here's a link to the Woodgrove Financial demo that I showed. It's from the Microsoft Financial Services Developer site at http://www.financialdevelopers.com/ so it's not targeted at general-purpose development. However, it does a great job of showing off the rich capabilities of Silverlight 2. This app is proof that a great technology can be applied to any market.

Lastly, the Zoomit tool that I used to zoom around my screen is another fantastic tool from Mark Russinovich. It's available at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897434.aspx.

FCI-H has post with links to the slide decks from Day 1 of the 2007 Mideast Developer's Conference. There were some requests in the comments for decks that worked with older versions of PowerPoint. Here are the updated decks for my talks saved as Office 2003 format.

I had a great time at MDC. Thanks for coming to the talks and thanks for the great questions. As I said at the talks I just changed positions inside Microsoft so I don't know whether I'll be back at EDC '08 or not but I'm happy to continue to answer your questions about PGO and Phoenix.

 [Updated to note the change from MDC to EDC. Sorry, while I went to the talk where they announced the name change I unfortunately missed the announcement. I have very limited comprehension of Arabic :) ]

Kaddy Korner: Ups and downs in the U.K.
Mark Huber, a professional touring caddie from Wisconsin, writes about his experiences in a blog called "Kaddy Korner." With his permission, I'm reproducing his blog entries here. He has caddied on the PGA, Nationwide, LPGA and Champions tours for the likes of Bob Murphy, Raymond Floyd, Doug Tewell, Tom Watson, Curtis Strange, Andy Bean and Larry Nelson.
Feel free to give Huber a shout at email@example.com. His Web site is www.MarksKaddyKorner.com.
This is his latest entry:
Hey all,
Bob Gilder went 3-3-3 and missed a 10-footer for another 3 on the 18th hole at Carnoustie -- a good way to end the Senior Open Championship -- and we settled for a tie for 50th place. Not long after the last putt dropped, I was off to Royal Birkdale in Southport, England, to work for Misun Cho in the Women's British Open.
The old Victorian seaside resort was about a six-hour, relaxing countryside drive from Carnoustie. I got to the tournament office just as it was closing for the day and they helped with accommodations for the night. In England, it's either a high-priced hotel or a comfortable and rather inexpensive B&B. I stayed in a hotel the first night and after that bounced around the B&Bs for 25 to 40 pounds per night, including breakfast and lukewarm water in the shower.
Carnoustie and Royal Birkdale are simply delightful to play and caddie. Everything is right in front of you and disaster lurks on every hole. You have to think your way around the pot bunkers and length is a definite advantage. Misun's length really hindered our scoring ability but she battled through a hip injury and had her chances to make the cut on Friday.
The damp, cold air took its toll on my hip the first few days but the European PGA doctor prescribed some Voltaran on Tuesday afternoon, making my stroll much easier the rest of the week.
I'm not sure why Southport is a vacation destination. We lived in our rain suits all week and the 50-degree weather didn't draw many folks to the beach. But they did come to the golf course in droves. Brollies (umbrellas), rain gear, thermoses filled with private stock and maybe a pint or two reinforced the large crowds following the marquee groups. The train station next to the course was busy all week.
The English love their golf, breakfast, tea and ales. The golf is a delight despite the weather but the breakfast with beans, runny eggs, four types of meat and blood pudding (in Scotland) takes some getting used to. The tea was great before bedtime. The ales, served at basement temperature, need some acquaintance time but I managed to down a couple after long days on the course.
We didn't tee off until 3:06 p.m. Thursday and started rough with a couple early bogeys. Birkdale comes at you right away with the toughest two par-4s I've ever seen and getting through them in nine shots is an accomplishment. We managed that, but found a few disasters later and kept them under control with some great putting, plus a new-found tool around the greens. In Toledo, I introduced Misun to the rescue club for chipping purposes and after practicing a few days she became an old master. It saved us at least three or four shots Thursday and Friday.
You start with the difficult holes at Birkdale and get your birdies coming home. Three of the last four holes are par-5s and you hang on till you get there. We were 6-over par going into 15 and my little girl finished with four 4s for a 3-over day, not bad for her very first major championship. It was getting dark, so we hit a few practice putts and then headed for dinner. I almost didn't finish my bangers (sausage) with mash (mashed potatoes and peas) and second pint of dark ale before falling asleep at the table. The wind and cold really took a toll on everyone. Luckily, we weren't teeing off until 10:22 a.m. Friday.
The cut was looking like 5- or 6-over and our chances were good, but the putts didn't fall. We were 3-over for the round with four holes left and feeling good about gathering a birdie or two, but nothing dropped. Four consecutive legitimate birdie putts grazed the edge or came up a ball short, leaving us one shot over the cut line and very disappointed. We waited for a while, hoping anxiously for a miracle which might let us play on the weekend. Unfortunately, no miracles were forthcoming.
I'd rather miss a cut by 10 shots than one because when the latter happens there are a lot of "what ifs" running through your mind. Misun had a respectable major in her first showing but playing on the weekend is the goal. Making the cut would have made the trip profitable for both of us but instead we scrambled to get an earlier flight home. I managed a long two-stop flight from Manchester to Chicago and I'm still suffering from jet lag.
It's off to Blaine, Minn., this week with Jim Roy and the Champions Tour. I'll hook up with Misun in Portland later this month.

Hover Fly Mimics Bald-faced Hornet
Adult hover flies, often referred to as syrphid (family Syrphidae) or flower flies, feed on pollen and nectar, and are often seen hovering at or crawling on flowers. Many have black and yellow bands on their abdomen, and are frequently mistaken for bees. There are certain species of hover flies that mimic stinging wasps, including yellow jackets and bald-faced hornets (see photo). Predators such as birds, ambush bugs, and spiders might think twice about eating an insect that can sting, and hover flies take advantage of this. The process through which this occurs is called Batesian mimicry, and refers to when a harmless species evolves to imitate a harmful species that has the some of the same predators.

Robber Fly Mimics Bumblebee
Milkweed leaves make excellent platforms for all kinds of insects, particularly those such as dragonflies and robber flies, which sit, wait and watch, surveying the landscape for prey to ambush. This robber fly could quite easily be mistaken for a bumblebee. However, the short, straight antennae and the presence of only two wings (instead of four) tell you it's in the order Diptera (true flies). The pointed, stout proboscis, bearded face, fleshy feet and long, tapering abdomen narrow it down to a species of robber fly. Robber flies in the genus Laphria resemble bumblebees – they are typically quite hairy, with black bodies and yellow stripes on their abdomens. Like other species of robber flies, they hunt by perching and snagging prey such as other robber flies, bees, wasps or beetles. They often return to their perch, inject the prey with enzymes that dissolve its innards, and then have a long drink. Why mimic a bumblebee? To deceive unsuspecting honeybees, wasps and other insects that would make a good meal.

Jewelweed Gall Midges
Abnormal plant growths called galls come in all sizes and shapes, are found on leaves, buds and stems, and are caused by a number of agents, including insects. A majority of insect galls are caused by the eggs and developing larvae of flies, wasps and midges. Jewelweed, or Touch-Me-Not (Impatiens capensis), has a very distinctive looking aborted bud gall that is produced by a midge (Schizomyia impatientis). While some galls provide shelter and food for a lone resident, the Jewelweed Gall Midge is colonial, and several orange larvae can be found residing in separate cavities within the gall. These midge larvae are now emerging and will overwinter as adults.

Chicory Pollinators
Twenty minutes of observing air-borne visitors to a patch of roadside Chicory revealed nine different species of pollinators, including bees, flies and beetles. Most of the insects were bees, which makes sense, as honeybees, leafcutting bees and ground-nesting bees are the primary pollinators of this flower. Without exception, all of the pollinating insects were covered from head to toe with Chicory's white pollen grains. As they circled the flowers' stamens collecting pollen, the insects' bodies were inadvertently dusted with some of it. Thanks to these diligent pollen-collectors and transporters, American Goldfinches and other seed-eating birds will be feeding on Chicory seeds come winter. (Electron microscopy by Igor Siwanowic and Scienceworks.)
Stinky Squid Fungus
There is no way you can walk by the fruiting body of Pseudocolus fusiformis, a member of the Stinkhorn family Phallaceae, without noticing it. Its shape is markedly different from most fungi, in that it has three or four separate orange "arms" which are fused at the top. If your eyes don't detect it, your nose most certainly will. Also known as "Stinky Squid," this fungus emits a strong, putrid odor which comes from the dark green, spore-bearing slimy material (gleba) that is found on the inner surfaces of the arms. This smell attracts insects, primarily flies, which inadvertently disperse spores after visiting the fungus. Look for round egg-like whitish structures at the base of Pseudocolus fusimormis – these are young fruiting bodies that have yet to develop arms. (Thanks to Shiela Swett for photo op.)

Just as the world must make the transition to a sustainable future, our 'leaders' are determined to make this last losing throw of the fossil fuel dice. more...
'Acutely toxic' mine waste threatens the death of Norway's fjords
Tina Andersen Vågenes
28th November 2014Two huge open pit mines in northern Norway are on the verge of approval, writes Tina Andersen Vågenes - even though they would dump hundreds of millions of tonnes of tailings in fjords where wild salmon spawn.

New Mexico nuclear waste accident a 'horrific comedy of errors' that exposes deeper problems
Jim Green / Nuclear Monitor
27th November 2014Last February's explosion at the WIPP dump for long-lived intermediate-level nuclear waste from the US's nuclear weapons program remains unexplained, writes Jim Green. But with the site's history of ignored warnings, 'missing' safety culture, lack of supervision and dubious contractor appointments, it surely came as no surprise - and further accidents appear inevitable. more...
The great Hallowe'en pumpkin rescue
Gavin Ellis
31st October 2014Every Hallowe'en the UK throws away enough pumpkin to make 360 million portions of pumpkin pie, soup, or cake, writes Gavin Ellis - a shocking waste in these hungry times. Hence a bold new initiative to rescue all those pumpkins from landfill, and turn them into delicious food we can all enjoy as part of our seasonal festivities. more...

'Unconstructable' Hinkley C could end UK's nuclear dream
Chris Goodall
30th October 2014Opponents of nuclear power hold up the planned Hinkley C as an examplar of waste and idiocy that could cost the UK over £30 billion in subsidies.

Hi all,
I have been chasing around theme sites to look for something that comes very close to this site: http://www.visitfinland.com but haven't gotten lucky so far.
I like the clean box style approach to separate the different sections. Are there any wordpress themes that provide this sort of layout?
Thanks in advance!

Appointy looks like the best featured appointment plugin available here on the W.org repository. However, it appears it hasn't been updated in some time. It's showing compatibility to version 3.0.5 of WordPress and version 3.4 could come out at any time now. I'm not excited to install it and test it because of some of the changes that have happened in WP since 3.0.
Is it still being developed? Is it compatible with 3.3.3?

Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 20 mins
Souvlakia is to Greeks what hot dogs is to America. In almost every greek party in the summer months, this is the staple. My family and I really enjoy it!

- 5 lbs boneless leg of lamb
- 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1⁄3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1⁄2 cup good Burgundy wine
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 bay leaves
- Cut lamb into 1-1/2" cubes, trimming the fat.
- Combine all of the ingredients in a gallon"zipper" bag.
- Shake well to combine.
- To achieve the best flavor, marinate 24 hours in the refrigerator, shaking a few times.
- Put lamb on metal skewers with each chunk touching, but not tightly.
- This will taste best on a good, hot charcoal fire.
- Turn often on the grill, and they should be done in about 15-20 minutes.
- Dont put vegetables in between the meat, as they just do not grill well together.
- Please use a good burgundy or full bodied red wine, that you would enjoy drinking by itself, not that stuff they call"cooking wine".
Most Helpful
Couldn't get lamb on short notice so I subbed out chicken breast and used a a nice white wine (Australian Viogner/Pinot Gris) instead of the burgundy but kept everything else the same and it was fantastic. Next time I will try with lamb!
Wonderful! This is the 2nd time I have made this & everyone agrees that it is YUM! I made with lamb chops & they were great. Thank you Anthony!!!
My husband loved this dish. It was really delicious, and it went together really quickly. I'll definitely make this again.

World number six Tomas Berdych blasted the time violation rule on Sunday and joked he'll soon need a motorcycle if he is to keep his matches on schedule.
The Czech hit out after losing the Portugal Open final, 0-6, 7-5, 6-1 to world number 62 Carlos Berlocq of Argentina.
Berdych, the top seed at the claycourt tournament, received a warning in the second set of the final after exceeding the permitted 25 seconds between points.
"When we have this crazy rule you are always worried about what the umpire might do. It's been around a few years and I'm still getting used to it," said Berdych.
"All of a sudden the guy calls a time warning. I'm gonna need a motorcycle to get around between points if it continues like this. He gave the warning on a break point, the most important one of the second set."
Berdych had been seeking the ninth title of his career but it was Berlocq who celebrated by claiming his second having won in Bastad in Sweden last July.
"The first set looked easy but it was only because he didn't start very well," said Berdych, now 3-1 in career meetings over Berlocq.
"He made that set much easier for me. I didn't have to play any special tennis. I took my chances when I had them. But it didn't last because he's such a big fighter.
"He completely changed his game from the second set and found a way to play, he did it quite well."
Berlocq became the sixth tournament winner over the age of 30 this year on the ATP with his victory.
Berdych was the South American's second top 10 victim of the week after putting out ninth-ranked Milos Raonic of Canada in the quarter-finals.
"This is truly a dream for me," said the winner, who found his form just in time after losing the opening set in 28 minutes.
"I won another title and beat a top 10 in the final. I'm very satisfied."
Berlocq became the fifth Argentine to win at the venue after Juan Martin del Potro (2011, 2012), David Nalbandian (2002, 2006) Gaston Gaudio (2005) and Juan Ignacio Chela (2004).

It's great
I really love this piece, but the original, I don't know, I think I liked that one a bit more. I'm glad you increased the length but I think the embellishments might have a bit much and took something away. Or at least, just made it great in it's own way, not the same.

By MARCUS BARKLEY
In a place like Steubenville, where high school football is truly at the heart of the community, it takes a special effort and even a little bit of luck to take down the Big Red in the place the fans affectionately call "Death Valley."
With luck being a given for the Irish, Ursuline (4-3) made sure the effort came from all fronts against Steubenville (5-2) as quarterback Christopher Durkin led a balanced attack on both sides of the ball for a convincing 31-7 victory 70 miles from the friendly confines of Youngstown.
"It was amazing," Durkin said of the tough road victory. "The past three weeks, we haven't played as a family. But this week, we came together and the scoreboard shows it."
Ursuline got on the board on its first drive, as kicker Vince Yurcho casually hit a 27-yard field goal to put the Irish ahead, a spot the team would never relinquish.
In the second quarter, Ursuline began to pull away, as the Irish scored 21 points to go up 24-0 at the half. Jermaine Williams put up two 3-yard rushing touchdowns, and Durkin connected with Steven Phillips on a 38-yard touchdown pass on a seemingly insurmountable third-and-goal after an onslaught of Ursuline penalties.
"Me and my coach worked on staying in the pocket as long as I could," Durkin said. "I guess it really worked out for me on that play."
Durkin completed 14 of 16 attempts for 131 yards, with the two incomplete passes coming on a dump throw on a near sack and a spiked ball. The Ursuline junior also led his team in rushing with 52 yards, keeping the Big Red defense off balance and often on the ground with his pounding big back style.
"It wasn't just one kid," Big Red coach Reno Saccoccia said of Durkin. "But he's a very, very good player."
Durkin wasn't the only one getting involved in the pass game, though, as Ursuline answered a 1-yard touchdown run by Dashon Redman, who led all rushers with 80 yards, with a little bit of trickery to seal the deal for the Irish near the end of the third quarter. Durkin pitched the ball to Williams and, after stutter stepping a defender, the running back with quarterback experience launched a 45-yard heave to Tannor Berry, who was wide open.
"Don't let anyone stay comfortable," Ursuline coach Larry Kempe said of the trick play. "No one can ever be comfortable out there."
On the other side of the ball, the Irish defense left Big Red quarterback Corey Stinson seeing green all night long, with constant pressure led by defensive lineman Khalid Pierce. Stinson was a mere 11-27 on the night with a number of completions coming late when the game was basically out of reach.
We really like to harass them," Kempe said of his swarming defense. "We're pretty quick up front and it shows."
The win over a quality D-III opponent puts Ursuline back on the right path after a number of tough losses, but is merely another small step in a long season.
"It will feel good to get to go home and ring that victory bell," Durkin said.
BIG, BIG, BIG, BIG win!!! On the road in Steubenville!! Not many teams can beat the Big Red at homerville, oh, I mean at home! Chris Durkin came of age. Great game, Chris. Khalid Pierce is a force. Coach Kempe is doing a great job with a young team. Build on this one; don't let up!
Hey Crestview, with your inflated 65 point-a-game average...get ready for playoff time against great players from the inner-city. Bring that disrespectful "rebel-flag" and your Tea-Party parents with you. You might ask, "Will Ursuline be as good as the last time we played them?" To quote Bryce Harper, "That's a clown question, bro!"posted 3 years, 9 months ago

Leila (name)
|Arabic and Hebrew
|"Dusk"/ "Night"
|Region of origin
|Middle East
|Other names
|Related names
All pages beginning with "Leyla"
|Look up Leila in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
|Look up Laila in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
|Look up Reconstruction:Proto-Semitic/layl- in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Leila (Hebrew: לילה; Arabic: ليلى) is a feminine given name in the Iranian, Hebrew and Arabic languages. It is often pronounced as ″Lee-lah″, ″Lay-lah″ or ″Lie-lah″
Leila is the Arabic and Hebrew word for "night", laylah (לילה) (written as ليلة in Arabic). The identification of the word "night" as the name of an angel originates with the interpretation of "Rabbi Yochanan" (possibly Yochanan ben Zakkai, c. 30–90 AD) who read "At night [Abraham] and his servants deployed against them and defeated them" (Genesis 14.14, JPS) as "by [an angel called] night" (Sanhedrin 96a).
The story of Qays and Layla or Layla and Majnun is based on the romantic poems of Qais Ibn Al-Mulawwah قيس بن الملوح, who was nicknamed Majnoon Layla (Arabic: مجنون ليلى)(Arabic for madly in love with Layla) to his cousin Layla Al-Amiriah ليلى العامرية in 7th century Arabia,[1] his poems are considered the paragon of unrequited chaste love, they later became a popular romance in medieval Iran,[2] and use of the name spread accordingly; the name also gained popularity further afield in the Muslim World, amongst Turkic peoples and in the Balkans and India.
Variant spellings include Laela, Laelah, Laila, Layla, Leïla, Leighla, Lejla and Leyla.
In the Nordic countries, Laila or Lajla (pronounced lie-lah) is derived from the Sami name Láilá, the Sami variant of Helga which means holy.[3]

As others have said, this is a great plugin etc. but straight to the issue at hand : I've got a problem with eradicating once stored images from my server. The problem is that some files and folders can't be deleted or moved, once they're in place.
The problem seems to stem from files being saved without their original attributes being altered. This means folders and files which have their attributes set differently, can't be deleted via FTP. I can't even seem to chmod the files via FTP to change the rights and ownership of files and folders.

I've created two wave files using Audacity. Both have 44100hz sample rate, 32-bit float samples, were saved as WAV (Microsoft) 16-bit signed and contain 1s of silence (according to Audacity). The difference is that one file contains one channel, while the other have two (stereo). When reading the one channel file I got frames like this:
0x00 0x00
... ...
Just as expected, but when reading the second file I got:
0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
0x01 0x00 0xff 0xff
0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
0x00 0x00 0x01 0x00
0xff 0xff 0x01 0x00
0xfe 0xff 0x03 0x00
This seems to be a random pattern to me. It has something to do with the way channels are stored within the wave file? Shouldn't it be something like:
0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
... ... ... ...
PS: I have used python builtin module 'wave' to read the files.

I am a homeschooling mom of one who has been known to crochet while giving spelling tests! I first learned to crochet and knit from my grandmother. It seemed to me that her hands were always busy with something! As I got older and began college and working full-time, crafting fell by the wayside for me. That is until one day when I was facing a 7 day car trip. I knew audiobooks and itunes would only get me through so many days. I spent some time trying to find something portable and fun to help me pass the time. I stumbled upon a set of crochet hooks I had purchased about a year ago with the intention of picking up crochet again. Armed with that set of hooks, a few skeins of yarn and a few online patterns and tutorials I had printed out, I was ready to take on the road trip. I finished my first 3 baby hats in 2 days. After that I was hooked.
When I showed the hats to my photographer sister in law, she turned me on to the photography prop baby hat craze and I have been designing hats & headbands ever since. My renewed interest inspired my blog & Etsy shop.
I really enjoy coming up with original designs and finding a new ways to combine stitches in interesting patterns. I am learning new techniques all the time and have rediscovered my creative side! I also sew a bit, but I love crochet for it's unique textures, portability, and calming effect. I am always available for questions and comments on my blog & Facebook. I love helping other get started in crochet!

MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - University of South Alabama trustees could approve a tuition increase by at least 8 percent for the coming school year.
A board of trustees panel met Wednesday and recommended that undergraduate tuition move from $5,512 to $5,962, based on 30 undergraduate hours, for 2009-2010.
In-state graduate students would pay $6,334 next fall, up 10.5 percent from $5,758.
USA's medical students would pay $19,655, an increase of $1,650, or 9.2 percent.
University fees would not increase, according to the proposal before the board meeting Thursday morning in Mobile.
The university has about 13,400 students.
Officials cited state budget cuts for the tuition increase.

Skip to comments.The Rush Limbaugh LIVE Radio Show Thread - Wednesday, May 2, 2012
Posted on 05/02/2012 8:13:55 AM PDT by IMissPresidentReagan
click here to read article
I agree, it was good news and also great the attack by Media Matters failed. I wish Rush would say that pro-flowers and whoever else is not affiliated with him anymore, especially with Mother's Day around the corner. I'm sure his listeners are so used to hearing him promote them that they won't know.
Take good notes this monolog, Mr Romney, Rush can't do all your campaigning for you.
Is Jose Rodriguez one of those white hispanics? If so, he's probably lying ;)
Hello all...just a quick note to say hi... going to church later for volunteering.
I'm going to buy it whether I read it or not.
Seems like we already know everything in it anyway.
Someone mention to Rush that neither McCornhole or Boner have done nothing to COUNTER the 'Rats. He can't use the EXCUSE that it's the 'Rats fault. NEITHER party is interested in curbing spending. Each blames the other for the deficit mess and the debt keeps piling up. Both parties suck. McCornhole and Boner are worthless.
Funny you say that. He said that. However, now it is documented when "some factions" refute the evidence or deny it.
Sure glad to hear Jr is OK. Thank God.
I have said this on a couple threads already...but it bears repeating......I think perhaps Obammys use of the term "composite" means his girl/boyfriend was INFLATABLE
Who was the classless Dem Rep who made the Admiral Boorda reference?
I think I've heard every interview and most of the interviewers got advance
copies. If there was a new bombshell I think we'd heard it by now.
As far as Jr goes he's in the middle of exams then we have to figure out how
to get him and his gear home for the summer. What a pain in the arse.
Good...Pro-Flowers got scared, so they knew they lost big when they quit Rush!!
I'd say inflatable boyfriend.
Being that his nanny was a "transgender" , aka pervert, there's nothing that would surprise me.
I'm Welcome!
Another skull full of mush being educated.
Just a thought after listening (only) to summaries of The 0 and His Wonderful Afghanistan Adventure:
Besides making sure that his bragging got done during Prime Time, the entire trip was timed around the absolute least possible contact with the troops there.
...even the vehicles they were using as backdrop looked too new to have done anything but served as Hangar Queens, if they weren't just brought along as props.
My blood pressure can not tolerate another 4 years of that dispicable little pr*ck!
The only way I can tolerate another 4 seconds is to ignore the ********** as much as possible.
(Actually, I started leaving the room every time The Prez showed up on radio or TV during Carter, then continued the practice for Slick and now The 0. Anybody wants to call any of those three "Ours" can have my share.)
Wasn't it like 3am in the morning there? What a POS to ask our military to lose a night's sleep for his political purposes.
Some reports I read, had him speaking in an empty hangar/storage area...
If you recall there were NO photo shots of the "adoring crowd" as the idiot yammered on....This was only another of that pukes "I LOVE ME" Photo ops (SPIT!)
You sir are exactly right! This is what the lady was speaking about. Either Rush didn't understand her or he did not want to criticize Boehner and McConnell. I hope it wasn't the latter.

On December 2, 2013 the Dothan Police Department responded to the 300 block of North Oates Street, after being notified of a person breaking a window of an unoccupied vehicle and then removing a purse from it.
Investigators say Darcey Trawick was observed breaking into a white sports utility vehicle and taking a purse from the backseat before fleeing the scene. An alert witness followed Trawick, while advising officers of his whereabouts. Trawick was apprehended a short distance away and the victim's property has been returned.
Trawick's arrest now brings this case to a close.
