|This is the book for anyone looking to get started with Visual Studio 2012 Professional. Over the years Visual Studio has become a sizable integrated development environment. The Ultimate version combined with Team Foundation Server (TFS) is a beast. This book only covers the Professional Edition functionality. No TFS, UML, Coded UI tests, profiling, Web testing, load testing, or layer diagrams and it is a whopping 1149 pages.
I think it was a good idea to only cover the Professional Edition features. Most of our developers use the Professional Edition. We only give the Ultimate Edition to our Enterprise and Software Architects. There are whole books just dedicated to covering TFS and the Ultimate Edition features already, and it allowed the authors to really dig into the programming tools offered by the Professional version.
The book is also not a language book, so don't expect to be taught C# or VB.NET. They do have one chapter on the VB and C# .NET languages. It's pretty much a language primer/syntax overview chapter. For those coming from Java, Objective-C, or C++ this chapter would probably be enough to get you up and running for the rest of the book.
So there are no Ultimate version tools covered, it is not a language guide, and it also does not cover the TFS functionality, that seems like an awful lot for a 1149 page to not be about. Below is the table of contents and it lays out what the book is about!
Part I An Introduction to Visual Studio 2012
1 A Quick Tour of Visual Studio 2012
2 The Visual Studio IDE
3 The .NET Languages
Part II An In-Depth Look at the IDE
4 Solutions and Projects
5 Browsers and Explorers
6 Introducing the Editors and Designers
7 The .NET Community: Interacting Online
Part III Writing and Working with Code
8 Working with Visual Studio's Productivity Aids
9 Testing Code
10 Refactoring Code
11 Debugging Code
12 Deploying Code
Part IV Extending Visual Studio
13 Introducing the Object Automation Model
14 Writing Add-Ins and Wizards
15 Extending the Code Editor Using Managed Extensibility Framework
Part V Creating Enterprise Applications
16 Creating ASP.NET Form-Based Applications
17 Building Web Sites with Razor and ASP.NET MVC
18 Building Windows Forms Applications
19 Creating Richer, Smarter User Interfaces
20 Working with Databases
21 Service-Oriented Applications
22 Embedding Workflow in Your Applications
23 Developing Office Business Applications
24 Developing Applications in the Cloud with Windows Azure
25 Writing Windows Store Applications Using the Windows Runtime Library
The first three parts of the book concentrate on code level features and tasks that are possible with Visual Studio 2012. It covers all the navigation windows found in Visual Studio 2012, it takes an in-depth look at all the solutions and project types, it covers the editors and designers, how to take advantage of community connection tools, and how to test, refactor, debug, and deploy code.
Part IV covers automation customization and extending Visual Studio 2012. They do a really good job of introducing the capabilities of by implementing a sample add-on.
When I first saw Part V Creating Enterprise Applications it raised a red flag with me at first. I have seen a lot of books that go through the core of what they are trying to teach and then tack on a bunch of general chapters at the end that aren't deep enough to have any meaning. What made these chapters great is that they stuck to the book's tools context. Even though they went deep into creating and coding certain types of applications, they still stuck to the context of the book which is tools centric.
The book does not contain the Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 features like Code Map and the new SharePoint debugging tools. Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 came out well after the book published.
At the time I'm writing this review there are no code samples ready for download. I did notice that the authors had code downloads available for their Visual Studio 2010 unleashed version so I'm hopeful they will soon be coming.
Overall I thought the authors did a great job. They cover a ton of topics and then go really deep on every topic. I would say that if you are a developer and you're looking to get into.net this is an absolute must have booked for learning the ins and outs of Visual Studio 2012. Visual Studio 2012 has some really great productivity tools and if you're not taking advantage of those tools are really wasting a lot of your time, and your customers time or your employer's time.
I think this book should be part of every .NET developer's library. It will definitely be staying by my side to use as a reference.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

Courtesy of my friend Dan Peterson, I learned I have been doing Apple TV wrong all these years.
While browsing a list of episodes in a TV show you own, you don't need to press Select on an episode, then wait for that episode's individual page and description to load, and then select Play. You can just press the Play button on the episode in the list to start playing it.
If you were in the middle of the episode, you will still get the option to resume or start from the beginning. Also, this annoyingly doesn't work for movies. While browsing your grid of purchased (and rented) films, pressing the Play button on a film will play its trailer, not the film itself. I hope Apple fixes that in an update soon.

"Somewhere life is going on—and I didn't take part in it." Hanoch Levin, The Labor of Life
The popularity of friendship with benefits (FWB) is increasing. A similar phenomenon within marriage (MFWB) is when the partners are friends and the sexual aspect is marginal. Both types of friendship lack romance, but while FWB is generally a most pleasurable relationship, in MFWB spouses are miserable. Why this is so, and how can MFWB be improved?
The pleasure of friendship with benefits
In "friendship with benefits" the benefits are non-exclusive recurring sexual activities. Although FWB involves the two major components of romantic love—that is, friendship and sexual desire—it does not include romantic love, since the relationship lacks the commitment to consider the partner as the one and only who forever and ever will stay in your heart. Having both the friendship and sex together, while dropping exclusivity and commitment, is different from profound romantic love; nevertheless, it is a very pleasurable and exciting relationship.

My View: We're back on high ground
Date: May 24, 2012
by: Steve Queior and Fred Piccolo
Editor's note: This is the second of a two-part My View that first ran May 10 in the Sarasota Observer.
Sarasota Tomorrow has taken back the high ground.
Before this Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce initiative came along, our business community tended to be defensive. It was answering, not leading. The voice of an anti-growth minority was loud.
Sarasota Tomorrow aims to promote, not oppose, quality growth and the jobs it brings. It's supported by the business community, ranging from lawyers and accountants to merchants and the tourism industry.
We believe that before Sarasota Tomorrow, pro-growth voices were muted. We don't think they are now. In this respect, the initiative has transformed the chamber and its participation in the community. Now, governmental leaders ask for the business community's view prior to acting. Before, there were times that didn't happen.
Through the initiative, the business community now has a much stronger position, and so does its chamber of commerce. The initiative has worked some wonders: It helped seal the deal with the Orioles and its multi-million-dollar benefits. It contributed largely to the rowing program at Benderson Park. It's working on the quest for a new hotel downtown. It helped defeat the onerous Amendment 4, which eliminated potential new taxes of more than $20 millions. And half-a-dozen other achievements.
Broadly speaking, Sarasota Tomorrow has transformed the chamber.
We feel its effects at our airport as well, because the airport is a reflection of the community's economy. Our cultural strength, the Orioles and the rowing park all generate air traffic.
Sarasota Tomorrow did it not by slick PR, but by economic studies with hard data that helped convince newcomers and outsiders and by putting in the long hours it takes to move projects forward.
An analysis indicates that Sarasota Tomorrow has helped generate a bit more than $86 million in increased personal earnings, savings and economic impacts, all for an initial investment of between $1 million and $2 million. But now we're at a crossroad.
The initiative will decline in power unless we generate additional funding — $400,000 to $500,000 a year. It's a tiny investment for a massive return. (Just launching Sarasota Tomorrow was challenging, given the fact that the idea surfaced when the recession was clamping down. But we succeeded.)
The initiative has four major goals:
1. Create a more business- friendly economic environment and workforce development activities to improve our quality of life.
2. Help promote transportation and transit strategies to better move products and people; housing options for all of our residents; and redevelopment of key areas.
3. Generate plans and partnerships for a better future, and keep communicating the benefits of our business engine.
4. Create one-stop assistance to help new and small businesses work through complex regulatory and permitting processes and find other resources to succeed.
In an essay one of us (Fred Piccolo) wrote a year ago, he wrote: "We have started down a path of collaboration and cooperation that has provided great returns in the present and holds tremendous promise for the future. Hopefully, more businesses will see the value of this program and join the chamber in moving the region forward in this decade."
Steve Queior is president of the Greater Sarasota Chamber of Commerce. Fred Piccolo is president of the Sarasota-Bradenton International Airport.

Christopher Anderson/Spokesman-Review
The Rev. Robert J. Spitzer (shown above being greeting outside his office by a student this morning) announced today that he will step down as president of Gonzaga University after a 16-month transition into new leadership. Spitzer said he plans to leave his post in July 2009, according to a school press release. Spitzer, who is completing his 10th year as the university's 25th president, plans to continue writing and presenting on ethics, faith, leadership, metaphysics and philosophy after he steps down/Spokesman-Review.

Implementing employee surveys
We'll manage implementation of your employee survey, ensuring it's delivered on time and perfectly fits your business.
How we implement
We'll make sure implementation of your employee survey programme is an efficient process. Our dedicated project team takes full control and will involve you, where needed, at agreed milestones.
Implementation phases
Here's a run-down of the implementation phases in your employee survey:
- Build – we create the survey technology (the system) and questionnaire that you and your colleagues will have access to. This happens in two parts. 'Front end' development involves applying your brand and designing how it'll look to users. 'Back end' development is where the clever functional stuff is built that governs how the system works, access levels and administration, all according to your specific requirements.
- User acceptance testing (UAT) – this is where you get 'hands on' in testing any technology in the employee survey programme. We ask you to trial the system and let us know of any changes you require.
- Project go live – after you're happy, you give us the green light to go live.
- Post launch support – we won't just leave you to it. If you need further support, our customer services team will assist with any questions from your people regarding survey completion or usage of the technology.

Bad Parents
- 18Jan 23 by KelRN215, BSN, RNI've seen my share of bad parents but haven't seen anything like this before.
I've been a pediatric nurse for my entire career- 6 1/2 years. 4 1/2 in the hospital and the last 2 doing pediatric home visits. Most of my patients are oncology patients. They therefore all qualify for Make-A-Wish.
Last week I'm at one of my patients' homes and there's a flier from Make-A-Wish on the fridge. Mom is from another country originally, let's pretend it's Mexico. So she says to me "look how nice, these people are giving me a free vacation to Mexico." And I say "is that what your son wants to do? It's his wish." She says "No, he wanted to go on a Disney cruise but I don't want to do that." I was so mad at that point and told her that that's not how Make-A-Wish works.
Today, Mom wasn't home when I went to see the kid and he usually will tell me the truth about things when she's not there. So I start talking to him about his Make-A-Wish and he says "I'm going to Mexico." And then when I ask him if that was his choice he says "no, my Mom wanted to do that." As he continued talking, he said "My Mom made me say that I wanted to go there." The kid's grandmother lives there, there is no doubt in my mind that if they did this as his Make-A-Wish, he'd get left with Grandma while Mom goes out clubbing.
One of the rules of Make-A-Wish is that the wish has to come from the child. This kid is not going to have another opportunity to go to Disney. He lives in the projects and, though he's stable right now, his prognosis is very poor. That this woman would use her son's cancer to get a free vacation for herself is disgusting. I called his Social Worker and am considering calling the local Make-A-Wish office myself. People don't donate money to that organization so a child with cancer can sit in his grandmother's house in the developing world while his mother has herself a free vacation.
- 3Jan 23 by LadyFree28
Sigh, what we hear and witness to when working with kids and families.
- 2Jan 23 by msn10I called his Social Worker and am considering calling the local Make-A-Wish office myself. People don't donate money to that organization so a child with cancer can sit in his grandmother's house in the developing world while his mother has herself a free vacation.
I know you are angry, and you have every right to be, but I think the problem is not with Make a Wish, it is with the unethical parents in these situations. I think what you did was absolutely correct, but I would not dissuade people from giving to the organization. I agree with you and I would talk with a representative from Make a Wish. The only issue is what is the mom going to do to you or the child? You always have to worry about retaliation. You are between a rock and a hard place.
This is a very interesting dilemma and I will be interested to hear the feedback and also how this situation turns out for you and your patient.
- 23Jan 23 by NotReady4PrimeTime, RN Senior ModeratorI agree, what a disgustingly abusive move on that mom's part. And I wouldn't blame you at all for calling Make-a-Wish and filling them in. It's inexcusable. And you're right, the people who donate their hard-earned money to groups like Make-a-Wish aren't doing it to make the parents happy. When my son was in liver failure, our oncologist strongly suggested that we consider arranging a wish for him and offered to contact the Rainbow Society on our behalf. Most 5 year olds want to do Disney and when we met with the Rainbow counsellor he was asked if that was what he wanted. His answer was, "Well... <long pause> Yes, I'd like to go to Disneyland. But I'd really like to go fishing with my Papa." She asked me a few questions about "Papa" (my dad) and then she smiled and said, "Adam, you're going to do both!" We went to Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm and Sea World, then spent 5 days at my parents' house before flying home. My dad was unfortunately not able to be there, but my brother stepped in and took all three of his nieces and his one nephew fishing. It was AWESOME! We all still talk about it 25 years later. Is that what I would have chosen? Probably not, but it was what Adam wanted.
- 9Jan 24 by kungpoopandaKelRN215, as a regular contributor to Make-A-Wish, I thank you for speaking up. I'm horrified to think that a parent could be so low as to deny their dying child a wish, that good-hearted people are paying for.
- 0Jan 24 by LittleTwinStarsHow disgusting. This reminds me of my friend whose mother committed her to a mental institution and took a cruise during the stay. Yes, I would inform MAW. Thank you for advocating the child.
- 1Jan 24 by Esme12, BSN, RN Senior ModeratorKel....I contribute to the MAW...call them. Let them know what the kid said. You go girl!

It took two days, but the first upset of the 2012 LeFlore County Junior High Tournament took place Tuesday afternoon at Poteau High School's Sherman Floyd Fieldhouse.
The Cameron Yellowjackets, seeded sixth, upset the third-seeded Spiro Bulldogs 37-34.
However, the other top boys seeds and three of the top four girls seeds advanced to Friday's championship semifinals.
HOWE — The Howe boys were able to outlast Keota's 58-56 Tuesday night at the Howe Gym in a battle of Lions.
Heavener 63, Hartshorne 28: In Hartshorne, the Wolves (4-4) reached the .500 mark with the win. Trailing 10-9 at the end of the first quarter, Heavener outscored Hartshorne 54-18 the rest of the way.
HOWE — In a battle of Lady Lions, LeFlore County's felines ruled supreme as Howe handled Keota 57-27 Tuesday night at the Howe Gym.
Spiro 59, Haskell 47: At Muskogee Bedouin Shrine Classic, the win put the Lady Bulldogs (5-3) into Friday night's championship semifinals against Oktaha at 4:30 p.m., with the winner playing for the small school championship at 4:30 p.m. Saturday. A loss will drop them into the third-place game at 9 a.m. Saturday.
VIAN — The 2012 portion of the Poteau High School wrestling season did not get started the way the Pirates had hoped as they lost a 60-15 dual decision to the Vian Wolverines Tuesday night.
Sequoyah-Tahlequah was to have made it a triangular but did not show up.
The Pirates (9-5 in duals this season) got three wins, two of which were by pins coming from Tyler Tustin (126 pounds) and Daylon Brewton (heavyweight). Poteau's other win came on a decision by Chevy Galetka in his match at 170 pounds.
GLENPOOL — Several Poteau Youth Wrestling Club members competed at last weekend's Glenpool Tournament, with three of them claiming gold.
Grant Ford, Seth Ford and Allison Hartley all won their weight class titles in their respective division.
Dada Jones, Ethan Carey and Gavin Morgan were all runners-up, while Creed Smith, Brandon Hartley, James Moss and Connor Williams were third.
Blaze Emerson, Jackson Morris, Remington Reed and Zack Dotson competed but did not medal.
MUSKOGEE — Seven Poteau Youth Wrestling Club members participated in last weekend's Berryhill New Year's Tournament.
Jarrod Vineyard was runner-up, while Bryson Terry, Jarrett Lilley and Ross Johnson all were fourth.
Race Williams, Dauntay Warren and Caden Warren also participated, but did not medal.
Happy new year to everyone! I welcomed 2012 in the same way I have been spending New Year's Day for the last several years, taking my boys to a ball tournament. My good friend, Gary Gibson, coached a seventh-grade team, and Dallas Ward and I coached a sixth-grade team for a little weekend action in Tulsa. We have lots of great parents from here who drive their sons all over the two-state area to get their kids all the playing time they can. I would like to thank them because it takes several kids to make a team. We couldn't do it without each other.

This project by San Francisco–based Gensler takes the typical airport lounge, where passengers passively wait, and transforms it into a dynamic space that engages travelers as they prepare for their trips. Located in Incheon Airport, the lounge includes a custom vending machine, dreamlike art videos, and personalized flight tracking.
Jury: "The project takes an innovative approach to the airline lounge model, effectively establishing a unique relationship between the passenger and the space. … The well-conceived assimilation of technology engages the traveler in both the 'black box' and the surrounding walls that integrate helpful passenger-flight-status flipscreens."
Client: "Design is a core part of our business. At HyundaiCard, we are not just selling credit lines. To support our customers' lifestyle, we design solutions … [and] customer experience. What I particularly love about our lounge is the vending machine. People can swipe their cards and grab the thing they forgot to bring. People appreciate the simple beauty of the space—white, clean, and modern. And they are even more surprised to find out how practical and functional it is." —Sukjoon Won, Chief Marketing Officer, HyundaiCard

Baltimore, MD (Sports Network) - Chris Davis hit a three-run home run to help the Baltimore Orioles take a 6-2 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in the rubber match of a three-game series.
Matt Wieters homered for the third straight game, hitting a two-run shot in the eighth inning, while Vladimir Guerrero added three hits and two runs scored for the Orioles, who won the last two games of the series after dropping their previous three overall.
Jeremy Guthrie (8-17) won his second straight start after giving up just two runs on three hits and three walks in seven innings. He also matched a career high with 10 strikeouts.
"He's been hitting his marks these past couple of spots," said Orioles manager Buck Showalter. "There's no better pitch in baseball than a well-placed fastball and he had it going tonight."
Matt Joyce drove in both runs for the Rays, who had won five straight prior to dropping the past two games. Wade Davis (10-9) had a two-start winning streak snapped, as he gave up four runs on seven hits over 6 1/3 innings.
Tampa remains four games back of the Red Sox, who lost to Toronto earlier Wednesday, for the AL wild card lead. The Rays start a four-game series in Boston on Thursday.
"We're in a position to do it and that's all we can ask for," said Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon about the upcoming series. "Go there for four and hopefully play very well and see what happens."
Nolan Reimold led off the third with his 10th home run of the season to give Baltimore the lead.
Tampa took the lead in the fourth as Joyce doubled home B.J. Upton and Ben Zobrist, both of whom reached base on walks, but it was a short-lived advantage.
With one out in the fourth, Guerrero singled and Wieters followed with a double. Davis followed with his fifth home run of the season for a 4-2 lead.
The score stayed that way until the eighth, when Wieters clubbed a two-out shot over the left field wall with Guerrero on base to make it a 6-2 contest.
Guthrie, meanwhile, set the Rays down in order in the fifth and sixth but ran into trouble in the seventh. Johnny Damon led off with a walk and Joyce followed with a single. However, Guthrie then struck out Casey Kotchman, induced a fly out from John Jaso and then got Reid Brignac to look at strike three to end the inning.
Jim Johnson pitched the final two innings to nail down the win for Baltimore.

Most people who succeed, do so by accident. By comparison, most people who repeatedly fail in the absence of any debilitating mental or physical health issues, do so by accident. In our individual pursuits to achieve success, most recipes for succeeding are discovered and practiced by accident. In some cases the practice takes place without an awareness and usually without an understanding of why certain methods used in achieving work the way they do.
In a recent post, I wrote about how Central Falls High School of Central Falls Rhodes Island, had taken the radical measure of firing all of their teachers and faculty in response to a significant percentage of re-occurring dismal grades by their student body. Even with the board of trustees' commitment to rehire at least half of their teaching staff in the coming semester, I still estimate that most of their students will continue to struggle and their teaching staff turnover will be higher.

So a group of 4 of us are venturing from the great state of KS to ride the Kokopelli for the third time in early May. Problem is, we never feel like riding anymore in Moab after a Porcupine Rim descent to cap off the ride, so have never ridden any more of Moab.
We're going to be in Moab for a full day in early May before this year's ride, and are looking for an way to ride a trail that represents Moab well, but don't want to burn out legs and lungs before the Koko trek. We're open to shuttling, etc.

The Wanderers is a 1979 movie that centers on the members of a Bronx youth gang, and their interactions with the other local gangs. At school, a high school teacher accidentally sparks a race riot between the Italian gang the Wanderers and the Black gang the Del-Bombers. Looking to gather allies to their fight as the Del-Bombers have bigger numbers, The Wanderers get rejected (humiliatingly) by the Fordham Baldies and by the Chinese Wongs. But they do get a new member with the arrival of bulky Perry, a newcomer to the neighborhood who proves himself in a fight. Just as it looks bleak for the gang, the local mafia hoods led by 'Chubby' Galasso intervene and negotiate to have the rumble changed into a football match.Based on a book by Richard Price.

Good Points
Loud speaker for noisy environments. Durable construction. Relativly small footprint.
Bad Points
The bumpers that cushion the lid when closed fell off soon after I got the phone and as a concequence the navigation button has worn a patern on the screen. It has not affected the usefullness of the screen but it is a little bit of a cosmetic defect.
General Comments
I have been using the 6166i for a couple years now and like it. It has a decent camera and the speaker is loud enough to hear in noisy environments. I am fairly rough on electronic devices and it has been quite sturdy. Nokia has been reluctant to make calm shell phones but this one has worked well.

Hi all.
I am sorry it took me so long to post here the promised link to the mocking framework created by Vladimir Peric, a student of mine.
You can download mmockito from GitHub:
It is a lightweight package, that definitely cannot do all the mocking things out there, but for the basic usage it shall be quite handy.
It is created using the new MATLAB unit test framework and should be compliant with it. It should also work with Steve Edins' MATLAB xUnit Framework, although maybe with a bit limited capabilities.
Feel free to report any issues directly on the GitHub page.
We hope you will find it useful.
Hi John. I miss in the description how the "nearness" of the 2 matrices, U and Uj, is measured. Could you comment on that? Thanks, Petr
@Michael: A student of mine works on a mocking framework for MATLAB right now. Give us a few weeks. We will definitely post an announcement here.
Hi, Eduard,
1] Regarding the "Pareto optimal" and "non-dominated" distinction... I think I understand you. But there are two situations that should be distinguished:
a] We have very large (possibly infinite) space of candidate solutions, X, and their fitness values, F. This set X cantains the set of Pareto-optimal solutions, X*, X* \in X, which may be finite, but very often is infinite. The set X* is Pareto-optimal and of course it is also a set of non-dominated solutions.
b] On the other hand, in multiobjective optimization, you usually do not get the (whole theorethically possible) Pareto-optimal solutions; what you get is a finite set Xnd of solutions which are not dominated by any of solutions you came across during the optimization. The solutions in Xs are only approximation of the whole set X* of Pareto-optimal solutions. Sets X* and Xnd might be (and often are) different and IMHO this distinction is important.
If you consider the matrix of scores that is given to your function as the whole universe of possible solution evaluations, then you are right - the Pareto-optimal and non-dominated solutions are the same.
It is also true, that for many practical applications this distinction is quite subtle and not very important. I prefer to call the output of your function the non-dominated set.
2] Regarding the fact if two solutions which have the same fitness value can be part of the non-dominated (Pareto-optimal) set: on the page you pointed to, there is the following definition:
"A point x* is said to be (glob ally) Pareto optimal or a (globally) efficient solution or a non-dominated or a non-inferior point for (MOP) if and only if there is no x such that fi(x)<=fi(x*) for all i, with at least one strict inequality."
This definition is correct, but your interpretation is wrong. You say "The definition of Pareto points demands at least one strict inequality". But I would rather say "The definition of Pareto points demands NONEXISTENCE of other points with at least one strict inequality." Example:
Let's have a set of 2 points x1 and x2, and both points have the same evaluation, i.e. fi(x1)=fi(x2). Then the points do not dominate each other, right? Since, all their fitness scores are equal, there is no score in which the inequality is strict, right?
Consider the question if x1 is Pareto-optimal: The definition says that x1 is Pareto-optimal if there is no other point that would dominate x1. SInce there is only one other point x2 and since x2 does not dominate x1, then x1 is non-dominated and Pareto-optimal.
The similar holds for x2. So that both points are Pareto-optimal.
I hope we now understand each other.
Cheers, Petr.
two comments:
1] Your function does not compute pareto optimal points, but non-dominated points. These two words IMHO are not synonyms. The distinction is small, but important. Pareto front is the set of "best" points which are theoretically possible. A non-dominated front is only an approximation of Pareto front, which hopefully gets closer and closer to the Pareto front.
2] You are not right if you say that "if P=R then they are not Pareto because there are no strict inequalities". If they are equal, then none of them is dominated by the other, so that both of them can be part of the non-dominated front. Of course, if one of them is in the nondominated front, then the other is as well and if one of them is NOT it the nondom. front, then the other isn't either.
I'll admit, this is a simple thing. Nothing dramatic here, with only a couple of lines of simple code. But it might make your own code just a wee bit simpler to write and to read later on. And simple, modular code is always good. If holds on plots are something you do often, then you may like this utility.
I like the help. An H1 line, etc. The 5 rating is a tip of my hat to the author.

Simplify the footwork on your next project by wearing the Scarpa Rockette Women's Climbing Shoes.
Scarpa created the Rockette Women's Climbing Shoes to keep up with ladies who pull down on the hardest sport climbs and boulder problems. Their down-turned toes and ultra-sticky Vibram XS Grip rubber makes the worst footholds feel huge. Scarpa's X-tension system drives your foot forward to increase precision and feel while reducing slop in the ankle when you need to heel hook the arête on your boulder problem. The Rockette Climbing Shoes' hook-and-loop closures allow quick entry into the form-fitting, unlined suede uppers.

Jeff Price
amazing but theres a pocket
great for the steeps. edging is fanatastic even the smallest holds feel like a ledge but the only down fall is the space in my heel. I sized them 1 size smaller than my shoe size and they feel great (painful but great.).
A good pain?
I am still "breaking" my Rockette's in... they are super aggressive and I feel as though they have made me a more confident climber. They stick to anything (although I haven't tried them on slabs and probably wouldn't recommend them for slabs). I normally wear an 8 and originally bought these a full size smaller and couldn't even sit down with the shoe on my feet... so I went up to the 7 1/3 size and they are still painful, but I can wear them and hope after a few more outings they mold to my feet better. I'm going to try and soak them in hot water then slap em on my feet...
a painful joy
As it is said, yes, this is not a comfortable climbing shoes. I went to a local sports shop and tried other Scarpa climbing shoes before I put the order here. But I had a second thought and bought the shoes half size smaller than I was going to. How I regret that decision! I tried them 3 times at gym. It is a killer climbing shoes and it sticks on the wall very well, but my toes hurt! Anyway, my suggestion is to try it at your local sports shop to decide the size before you buy it online and do not have second thought!
I did the exact same thing and i have a suggestion for you that worked for me...get shoe strechers. i leave them in when im not climbing and now its only takes about 1-2 warm up climbs before they feel solid. My toes hurt so bad before i was wearing my old shoes but now its fantastic! get shoe strechers at like walmart for $3. its worth it.
Thank you for the tip Jess, I will try that.
the cruel shoes...
Okay, so I normally wear size 38 climbing shoes, I got these in a 40 and they were still super tight - toes curled, the whole nine yards. But they edge on a dime and that's worth a lot! I haven't had them long, maybe I've done 10 pitches in them and they are already feeling more comfortable. I"m told you can soak the shoe in super hot water and then slap em on your feet and they will stretch out faster, so I might still try that. But so far, I feel much more confident on tiny edges.
Update on my previous review
I stretched the shoes before my second use by sticking hammer handles in them; I did not stretch them before the third use, and the pain was back. In retrospect I would size down a half size AT MOST.
Worth it - worth the money, and worth the pain!
I wanted a performance climbing shoe, and a friend convinced me to go for the Scarpas. After consulting with him, I sized down - I wear a size 8 and I bought the 7 1/3 (based on the euro/American size chart). When I first tried them on I was afraid I had made a terrible mistake. I could hardly walk in them. The first time I climbed in them I complained. A lot. Yet at the same time I cruised a 5.12. I decided they were keepers - they really did perform well for me. The second time I wore them climbing the pain factor was much less, so they really do break in. They are beautifully made, really quality shoes and I'm so glad I got them. They do crunch your toes, though!
Totally Awesome Shoes!
These shoes are absolutely amazing. I've had difficulty finding shoes that fit well in these past, and these are just perfect. I wear a size 6 to 6 1/2 street shoe and ordered these in a 35.5. They were extremely tight but have started to mold to my feet. The ankle/heel doesn't sit too high and the arch fits perfectly. They haven't been on real rock yet, but in the gym, my heel hooks and edging have been phenomenal! These are wonderful shoes!!!!
I wear a women's 6 in Galileos, what size...
I wear a women's 6 in Galileos, what size in these? I have a wide foot, small thick toes, a high instep/arch and a low outside ankle bone... la sportiva men's usually rape my heel, but the five tens fit perfect. Also, are these purple or blue? it says lavender, but the picture looks blue...
I have katanas in a 36.5 does anyone know...
I have katanas in a 36.5 does anyone know approximately what size I should get in these...?
Kirk Haskell
I find that Katanas have a fiar bit of stretch 1 1/2 to 2 sizes they are also a flatter lasted shoe. The rockette is definately more agreesive and wont strecth as much 1/2 to 1 size at the most.
hey emily I wear katanas in size 35 (41/2) and I just got the rockettes in a size 351/2 (5) my street sho wis size 7- I expected some pain but this is insane. I downsized alot for my katanas, with great results as they stretched but I recommend down sizing one size for the rockettes. I feel like im back in the 1500's in Asia with foot binding.
what type of climbing are these shoes best...
what type of climbing are these shoes best for?
Angus Bohanon
Bouldering and sport, mostly overhanging stuff.
Great toes, poor heels
I have low-volume instep, narrow heels, low-ankles, wide forefoot, stubbier toes; both feet are about the same. These fit me perfect from arch to toes, but bad at the heels. The heel rand is made for those with a higher outside ankle bone; for me, the rand squeezes under my ankle bone, and becomes unbearably painful if I rotate my foot inwards (ie. toes pointing in). Also, my heel doesn't even touch the end of the heel cup. Since I like the rest of the shoes much, I plan to cut off the upper part of the heel rand, like what I did with my other pair of shoes (Red Chili Spirit VCR Impact Zone). That should make the heels less painful, without degrading the performance much.
Overall: I particularly like the downward design, and the toe rubber patch. Though haven't field-tested these yet, I expect to be able to toe-hook and point much better than the Red Chili. Though the Chili has served me well up to V3's, they're not aggressive enough to help me send steeper and harder problems. I'll see how these go.
my feet are super skinny with super long...
my feet are super skinny with super long toes. what shoes would you recommend? would these work for me?
la sportiva mythos. size down 1/2 to one full size. they stretch a lot. you can wear them for hours walking around your gym. very comfortable. not too good for edging but big props on smearing. since they have laces your can rachet them down to fit your slender feet. and because they dont point the hell out of your toes it should be more comfortable.
These shoes are sweet! I can stand on pretty much anything...the only problem is my unruly toes get a bit angry if I wear these for more than 15 minutes, but they are stretching. Its also a little harder to walk around with then being so downturned.
But for actual CLIMBING, they rock. Pun intended.

What's the sizing like? (compared to La Sportiva)
They are smaller than La Sportiva. I use La Sportiva's Nago size 38.5 and ordered the Rockette's in size 38.5 (I wear a 8.5/9 in street shoes). And I literally lose circulation to my feet while wearing the Scarpas. They're a great shoe, but I can't stay in them for over 5 minutes (maybe even less) without losing feeling in my entire foot.
I remember reading a review before I bought them that said it's a V0 just trying to get into the shoe. I hoped that wasn't going to be true. It is.
These shoes are killer, but maybe too killer for my feet.

I sized down perhaps too much, as they've stretched and are still very tight, but even on plastic walls (inside) I can stand on a dime edge and move to the next hold, where in any other shoe I'd smear and use momentum. Toe jamming is a dream, the tiniest of holds seem like jugs, and toe/heel hooking is very effective in the rockette. I would recommend them to any girl climbing that wants to push the limits of technical climbing to a whole new level.

This shoes are amazing! they will stand on anything. For the technical climber these shoes are a must!
these are sure aggressive shoes, It really helps your foot into a point! reminds me back in the day when i would wear ballet point shoes. It really does help all the strength go to your bog toe. They really suck to walk around on flat though! but they performed really well when i demoed them out bouldering. you can really use that big toe to smear on little tiny nothings. They are leather so they will stretch out around a full size. The heal cup is not too deep. Las Sportivas heal cups are always too deep for me. These have lower volume heal cup to fit a women's smaller heal.

Welcome to TrailRoller.com, the source of useful information about mountain biking trails in Santa Clara, San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties in Northern California and a few road rides in the area. Take a look around. For each of the locations I have a description, a map and pictures that give you a sense of what is available at each rdie. Since I have been riding for a while, I have been able to cover most of the accessible trails in the area. There are also a variety of individual ride descriptions, photo galleries, elevation profiles, ride recommendations and some other links you may find useful.
I have been riding consistently and year-round for several years. My current totals are:
|18,290 miles
|2,637,000 feet ascent (499 miles)
By the way, the International Space Station orbits at a distance of 230 miles, so in a sense I have made it to there and back. The Hubble Space Telescope orbits at a distance of 353 miles, so I have made out to there and am on the way back.
Each location page provides details about the places I have ridden, maps, trailheads, pictures and all the other interesting bits of information about each destination. The Consolidated Trail Map page has the complete list of trails and linsk to Google Earth views of all of the trails. The Google Earth map is also useful for getting your bearings relative to other landmarks (cities, highways, etc.) and gives you a sense of the climbs and descents in a visual way. Check it out!
Please don't forget to leave a note in my guestbook.
Recent Rides
Here are some of the more recent pictures and ride reports that you might find interesting. I don't write about every ride, but if there is something interesting I might write about it. Of course, "interesting" varies a lot. It might be a mood or a view, whining, being attacked by a suicide squirrel or just a fun ride. Generally, the pictures (fair) are better than the writing (weak), but I might do better with some encouragement.
The number of rides I get in vary depending on the weather, commitments at work or at home and a bunch of other factors. My more recent rides include:
|Windy Hill
|Kennedy (Turkey Ride)
|Alpine Road
|El Corte de Madera Creek
|Santa Clara (road)
|Alpine Road

|Canada del Oro

New Trail - Sanborn
It isn't often that we have a chance to explore a new trail, so when Sanborn County Park opened some new trails to bikes we knew that we had to give it a try. It was worth the effort.

Everyone knows Murphy's Law: Whatever can go wrong will go wrong. Today's ride seemed like a great example of this law in action.
