A group blog from members of the VB team
Last week at the Professional Developers Conference, we made a number of very exciting announcements regarding the future of Visual Basic. Here is the list of VB 2010 features we've announced:
So many exciting features to look forward to! Stay tuned for more blog posts and videos which illustrate these features in more detail.

Didn't make it to the PDC? No problem. You can still check out the *hottest* presentation at the Professional
I recently blogged about the new VB 2010 language features announced at PDC, as well as the video available

What about using Nullable(Of Integer) as a optional parameter?
I'm pretty sure Lucian showed that to me after his talk at the PDC.
Thanks for the reminder, Jonathan. Yes, VB2010 allows nullables as optional parameters. Here are some examples.
Sub a(Optional ByVal x As Integer? = Nothing)
Sub b(Optional ByVal y As Integer? = 2)
Sub c(Optional ByVal x As Nullable(Of Integer) = Nothing)
Sub d(Optional ByVal y As Nullable(Of Integer) = 2)
Sub e(Optional ByVal z As MyStructure? = Nothing)
Please a refactoring to remove all line continuation characters. This would save me many hours each month reformatting lame formatted .NET code written in VB6/classic ASP style.
How does the parser distinguish an auto-property declaration from a normal one? Does it look ahead for "Get" or "Set" token, and, if there isn't one, assumes an auto-property?
How do auto-property declarations work with interfaces?
Still no unsafe code blocks!!!
I guess upto now they still haven't invested in making the .net framework thread safe.
Hi guys is it possible to assign values from one list object to another instide of doing like this "■Dim y As New List(Of String) From {"hello", "world"}" i want to assign the values which are return from database as a list consider "objlist1" is the list returned from my storeprocedure In place "From {"hello","world"} " array Can i do like this " Dim y As New List(Of String) From objlist1" Is it possible.
If your database list implements IEnumerable then you can call the extension method "ToList()" on it
You mean to say that if return type of Database function is IList then i can take values in List from IList
Dim y As New List(Of String) From objlist1.ToList() will this extracts all the values to list y. is this right? if so please can u give me a example?
Thank you

'The Simpsons': Hank Azaria gives hints about character deathAdd to Favorites | The Simpsons
One of the most closely-guarded secrets on TV at the moment is which "Simpsons" character will be dying in 2014. It was executive producer Al Jean who revealed that death was coming to Spingfield.
The only hints he gave was that an Emmy has been won for the character and it appeared in at least two episodes. That puts many characters in jeopardy, but Hank Azaria fans can rest easy.
The voice actor tells Entertainment Weekly, "I honestly didn't know who it was going to be, and now I do know ... I can say that it's not one of mine." That crosses a lot of names off the list. Not only does Azaria have an Emmy for playing Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, he has four of them simply credited to "various characters."
With Azaria's hint, dozens of names come off the list, including popular characters like Moe Szyslak, Chief Wiggum, Comic Book Guy, Carl, Cletus, Bumblebee Man, Superintendent Chalmers, Duffman, Professor Frink, Snake, Dr. Nick, Kirk Van Houten and Disco Stu.
Since it's not likely that any members of the Simpson family will be dying, the best bet is still Rabbi Hyman Krustofski ( Jackie Mason) or Princess Penelope ( Anne Hathaway).
The episode with the death won't air until Season 26 of the show, which premieres in the fall.

Disney's Animal Kingdom® Theme Park
Kids, Tweens, Teens, Adults
Small Drops, Spinning, Thrill Ride, Water Rides
Accessibility and Other Information - Opens a dialog
Due to the nature of the experience, service animals are not permitted on this attraction.
Hang on tight for a thrilling whitewater adventure along the scenic Chakranadi River.
Meander along a winding path brimming with solemn stone ruins before venturing inside a centuries-old temple, home to animal shrines and hand-painted murals. Continue on through a small shop selling hand-crafted wares and then enter the boathouse of Kali Rapids Expeditions, your tour company for the day's journey.
Adventure Awaits!
Make your way to a wooden pagoda and then onto a large, circular 12-passenger raft. Strap yourself in and gently glide up a 90-foot knoll into a mist, the native scents of jasmine and ginger filling the air. At the top, skim across an erupting geyser and brace yourself as you begin your descent down the mountain.
During your voyage, bob up and down and gently spin, water splashing in all directions. Sail beneath a canopy of lush vegetation as your raft weaves back and forth in the fast-moving river. Graze gushing waterfalls and bounce between craggy mountain bedrock amid the raging current. Then, plummet down a dramatic 20-foot slope!
Elephant Squirters
Located atop the bridge that overlooks Kali River Rapids are a series of elephant-themed water sprayers available to non-rafters. Easily activated by pressing a button, these free-to-use squirters can be operated to drench rafters as they pass by.
During your expedition, you'll notice a startling change in the scenic forest beauty you encounter. Vivid green vegetation is unexpectedly transformed into a smoldering inferno of charred tree trunks while hazardous debris litters the riverbanks. And, with that, the warning is clear: Illegal logging is destroying animal habitats and disrupting the harmonious balance of nature.
As early as 30 days in advance, you can secure a time for this or other attractions that offer FastPass+ service. And with a Walt Disney World Resort hotel reservation and valid theme park admission, make selections up to 60 days before your check-in date.
To have a greater variety of options to choose from, we suggest you make FastPass+ selections early. Or if you prefer, simply decide as you go and use the My Disney Experience mobile app to view real-time wait times for standby entrances.
Valid theme park admission required. FastPass+ attractions and entertainment experiences, the number of selections you can make and available arrival windows are limited. Certain MyMagic+ features and benefits require online registration.
You will surely get splashed on this attraction—and you may even get soaked.
Kali River Rapids is a whitewater rapids attraction that features gurgling geysers, jetting water and 2 dramatic splashdowns. Guests wishing to experience this attraction but remain dry for the remainder of the day are encouraged to bring a waterproof poncho, an extra pair of clothes or a towel to dry off.
Personal belongings can be stowed in a plastic zippered compartment onboard the raft.

Protecting cell phone users' privacy
- Related Stories
Agencies probing sales of cell phone dataJanuary 14, 2006
Putting a plug in insider leaksJanuary 24, 2005
Securing data from the threat withinJanuary 11, 2005
Numerous Web sites, such as Locatecell.com and CellTolls.com, are advertising that they can provide records of incoming and outgoing cell phone calls--for less than $100, in some cases. That kind of information is often used by law enforcement agencies in their investigations. However, the online availability of such data could be exploited by criminals, such as stalkers, abusive spouses or identity thieves, experts have warned.
Wireless operators claim these sites get customer information through fraud, such as posing as a customer and asking for information about an account.
What's new:
Lawmakers on Capitol Hill and law enforcement agencies are vowing to protect consumers' cell phone records by penalizing those who use deception to obtain customer information. But some experts say the problem won't go away unless phone companies better protect customer data.
Bottom line:
Experts say there are several steps operators can take to verify that a records request is legitimate, including use of a customer password system, confirmation of each request by sending a text message to the customer's cell phone and implementation of auditing systems at customer service centers.
The practice of using trickery to obtain the records from phone companies has been the subject of news reports for months. The issue reached a fever pitch when Washington, D.C.-based blogger John Aravosis posted on his site Americablog.com a detailed account of how easy it was for him to buy his own cell phone records, and then purchase the records of Gen. Wesley Clark, a former candidate for U.S. president.
Cell phone companies say they are taking a stand against those selling this information. In the last couple of weeks, Cingular Wireless and Verizon Wireless have requested court orders against data brokers accused of obtaining the records through fraud. The Federal Communications Commission's enforcement bureau this week also said it's looking into companies that obtain telephone records without the customer's approval or knowledge.
Now federal lawmakers are jumping on the bandwagon, introducing legislation in both the House of Representatives and in the Senate to criminalize the activity of obtaining customer information falsely. For example, Sens. Charles E. Schumer (D- N.Y.), Arlen Specter (R-Pa.) and Bill Nelson (D-Fla.) introduced a bill earlier this week that would make it illegal to pose as someone else when calling a phone company, or for an employee to sell customer data. On the state level, the office of Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal launched an investigation of companies that may have illegally sold consumers' cell phone data.
It's clear the low-hanging fruit in these lawsuits, investigations and proposed legislation are the online businesses that sell and advertise the availability of this information. But shutting down a few Web sites won't fix the problem, experts said. Some people believe that as an industry, the cell phone companies need to improve how they secure the personal billing information of the almost 20 million wireless subscribers in the U.S.
"Phone companies can definitely do a better job securing data," said Sherwin Siy, staff counsel for the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, D.C. "It's extremely important that something be done to prevent these breaches from continuing, because it impacts everyone's right to privacy."
So how do these Web sites get access to customer billing information? Experts believe the records are leaked in a couple of ways. One is through the mishandling of data by employees in call centers or by workers companies doing outsourced tasks for wireless operators.
A common misconception in corporate security is that a company's biggest threat is an outsider trying to hack into a server with sensitive information. But research indicates that insiders--employees, partners and contractors?-cause more security problems. Companies such as Vontu and its rival Vericept have built data-interception products that monitor e-mail, instant messages, FTP files and other electronic communications on corporate networks, sniffing for leaks of sensitive information.
The second way people get their hands on billing information is by simply pretending to be the customer on

- Selling of personal data from ANY source
- If the Supreme Court would make a clear blanket ruling confirming the right to privacy, laws covering each and every infraction would not be necessary.
Lawmakers could also separately pass legislation stating that every American has sole and exclusive property of their personal information, and setting the punishment bar high for those who infringe upon that property.

- Supreme court????
- With the recent and upcoming changes to the court, I wouldn't expect the court to be "making up" any more new privacy laws.
Your second comment is more on target. It's the legislatures job to enact laws, and they can respond more quickly to the will of the people. And, its much easier for the legislative branch to reverse a mistake than it is to reverse a bad supreme court precedent.

- Rules are never followed
- If you think that the rules would be followed, think again. Your social security number was originally designated that the only people who have the right to aquire it were government agencies, financial institutions that dealt with providing you income (interest), and your employer. Any request for your number is supposed to be accompanied by a written document stating the purpose and intended use of your number. Nobody else has the right to ask you for your social security number as a means of identification.
Today, just about everyone wants your social security number. Just about every bank will refuse to open a checking account without it even though no interest is involved. Almost every hospital form requests your social security number. Try and get a credit card without disclosing your social security number, it won't happen. Many businesses these days will refuse to do business with you unless you provide your social security number even though they have no legal right to even ask for it. The rules ARE NOT being followed as it is.

I'd rather avoid getting reamed in the first place. The people who have my cell phone number are the people I WANT to have my cell phone number.

- How about a "sting operation"
- It would be really easy for the phone companies to set-up a sting operation to find out whos leaking the information& if they really want to. Fire a few employees, terminate a few contracts / contractors, make some security fixes, and these abuses would drop way off.

- Too costly.
- It would be too costly for most operators to do such an operation though. This won't happen until cell phone owners sue their carriers for breach of contract. They have to see that not doing something costs more than doing something.
If you doubt that is how the business world works, look at the recent mine explosion in WV. The company didn't do anything to fix problems because it cost more to comply than to just leave it alone. Now they are going to be hurting with some law suites as well as fines from the government. The sad part is those miners who were not killed will likely end up out of work.

- That way your calls are protected away from your operator.
And since you can identify who calls you by "calling-id" (the number used to call you), you are able to trace back to the people you gave your Masque Number to, in case it gets compromised by nuisance calls or identity theft.
You can check the call records of your Masque Number online with your password, and that's all.

Republican paper on copyright reform lasts less than 24 hours, but there may still be hope

Given the state of Republican rhetoric in recent years, I was very surprised to find them endorsing a cause I can actually wholeheartedly support—but they did so this past weekend, for less than 24 hours before they hastily retracted it. I refer to a paper issued by the Republican Study Committee, the caucus for House Republicans, stating that current US copyright law is stifling creativity instead of encouraging it, and is in dire need of drastic reforms.

In a follow-up to a story I mentioned several days ago, the New York Times has coverage of the new rules propositions for allowing electronic device use on the House floor. It seem these propositions will just formalize the way that people have already been using their devices—rules or not, Representatives and Senators are often seen furtively whipping out their gadgets to check messages. The new rules are not meant to allow let congressmen listen to music or play games, though undoubtedly some will find less serious uses for the devices. The intent, [Brendan...

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
1997 Ford Mustang Cobra - Hail Raiser
Mike McHenry brought this hail-damaged '97 Cobra back and better than ever
Horse Sense: Mike McHenry thanks his wife, Kim, for putting up with the tens of thousands of dollars he has spent trying to make this Cobra the car of his dreams. "I have done it," he says. "This is my dream Mustang."
Mike McHenry had a Fox Mustang that had spiraled out of control, leaving its street-car status behind. The Fairview, Tennessee, resident didn't want a racecar, so he sold the Fox and started from scratch. "I decided I wanted to try out a modular Four-Valve," Mike said. As is the case with most of us, once the Fox was gone, Mike was antsy to get into another Mustang. "The money was burning a hole in my pocket," he added.
"I found my Cobra at a Ford dealership in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, and promptly went to see it," Mike explained. He wasn't crazy about the exterior color, but he loved the car's black leather interior, and the fact the car had just 5,300 miles on the clock. The dealer had just taken the car in on trade, and hadn't detailed it yet, but Mike had to have it that night. "The deal was made and I drove it home," he says. With the car back home, the next day Mike replaced the factory air filter with a K&N unit, discarding the factory air silencer in the process.
As is the case with most of us, once the Fox was gone, Mike was antsy to get into another Mustang.
After the air filter swap, Mike cleaned the Cobra from top to bottom, and that's when the shock and disappointment hit him. "When I dried it off, I noticed the car was covered in hail damage," Mike says. Many of us might've thrown in the towel after that, but Mike, after getting over the initial emotional damage, looked around for someone to do the repairs. He found a guy who would do it for $500. "I told him I would give him an extra $100 if it was perfect," he says. The guy did as promised, no doubt making Mike happy, and he drove the Cobra in this form roughly six months.
The Cobra's first round of mods came in early 2000. Mike added a Bassani X-shape crossover pipe, Dynomax mufflers, a Steeda Autosports Tri-Ax shifter and timing adjuster, BBK Performance caster/camber plates, and 4.10 gears. The 266 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque stayed that way for two years.
Quite the audiophile, Mike's next round of mods centered around the car's first stereo system. However, that led to more performance parts as the stereo's trunk-mounted subwoofer box made the car sit lower in the rear. To remedy that he called Maximum Motorsports for the company's lower control arms with adjustable spring perches. These control arms enabled Mike to bring the car's ride height back to level, but he also added Steeda Autosports adjustable upper control arms to dial in the correct pinion angle, subframe connectors to tighten up the chassis, and Saleen wheels to add some exterior pop.
The Saleen wheels, however, exposed dull brakes, and other suspension pieces. Mike couldn't have that, so he powdercoated the calipers and brackets, along with the sway bars, crossmember, and strut-tower brace. He further dressed up the Cobra by adding a Cobra R hood and a Saleen S351 rear wing. At that point, Mike declared the exterior all good.
Now it was time to add power. That sentence makes it sound so easy, but with a '96-'98 Cobra Four-Valve, it's not always as easy as 1-2-3, as Mike encountered. He started off by installing a ProCharger P-1SC supercharger and a full exhaust. The Cobra responded by making 423 rwhp and 378 lb-ft of torque.

This is GM's incredible secret stash of cars
Take an undercover trip round the General's jaw-dropping collection of Cadillacs, Corvettes and crackpot concepts
Posted: 24 Jan 2014
Each car in the collection is fired up at least once every 90 days, with Wallace driving many of them on the road. But which is his favourite? "Ah, they're like children," he smiles. "If you've got more than one kid, one's your favourite one week, another the next. But I like cars you can get out and drive. The stuff before 1920 is a bit... tricky."
Without getting too misty-eyed, the heritage hall isn't merely a hypnotic collection of Caddies, Corvettes, Buicks and the rest, but a barometer of the rises and falls of the American car industry - perhaps even America in general - from the highs of the Twenties to the low, low lows of the Eighties.

- Oktobar
- (2011)
Runtime: 110 min
Rating: 6.8
Status: Released
"Oktobar" is a new drama and foreign movie by Milica Tomovic that was released in 2011.
Through the intimate stories of seven, October is the generational attitude of Serbia today, shown in different perspective and through different genres - from black comedy to melodrama, poetic portrait to the socially engaged horror. Motif that binds all of the story is the tenth anniversary of the democratic revolution. Each film is taking place on the feast day, 5 October, and each film is differently related to the incident. The film brings fresh vision of the seven young directors who were teenagers at the time of the overthrow of president Milosevic and his regime of the functions. On a personal and emotional way they show a complex picture of modern Serbia.
Best actors like Branislav Lečić, Dubravko Jovanovic, Hristina Popović, Jelena Rakocevic, Jelena Velkovski, Jovo Maksic, Ljiljana Dragutinović, Marko Janketic, Milica Sujica, Miloš Timotijević, Miodrag Krstović, Nebojsa Djordjevic, Sara Markovic, Vladislava Milosavljevic and Vlastimir Djuza Stojiljkovic starred in Oktobar.

Two late goals took Juventus three points clear at the top of Serie A and extended their unbeaten league run to 47 games with a 2-0 victory over their nearest rivals, Napoli.
Substitutes Martin Caceres and Paul Pogba both struck in the last ten minutes to earn I Bianconeri all three points at the Juventus Stadium.
It was Napoli's first defeat of the season, but their second to Juventus when considering the Italian Supercoppa between the two sides in August.
The hosts, who had chalked up six league wins and a draw under the guidance of Massimo Carrera, had to work hard for their win, though. Napoli started well and it was Edinson Cavani who came closest to breaking the deadlock in the first half.
Despite only arriving back from international duty on Friday, the Uruguayan showed no signs of jetlag as he curled a free-kick from wide left onto the crossbar with Juve goalkeeper Marco Storari, deputising for the injured Gianluigi Buffon, beaten.
Juve's first serious attempt on goal came in added time when Claudio Marchisio's 20-yard effort was tipped over the crossbar by Morgan de Sanctis.
Alessandro Matri only just failed to latch onto a delightful long ball from Andrea Pirlo, with De Sanctis racing off his line to clear the danger in the 66th minute.
Caceres replaced the injured Kwadwo Asamoah and Pogba also came on. With almost his first touch, Caceres put Juve in front with a committed header in the 80th minute, meeting Pirlo's corner six yards out.
Two minutes later, it was game over for Napoli as Paolo Cannavaro's clearance looped up and Pogba struck it first time with a fine left-foot volley from 25 yards which found the bottom right-hand corner of De Sanctis' goal.

Watch Noah Online Putlocker
"Watch Noah Online Putlocker" follows precisely what is claimed within the Bible pretty much, while there are many fictional (untold) elements extra. As being a gentleman who does not necessarily believe in Our god or maybe religion, We've generally identified mythology a very fascinating aspect of early civilizations, which video conveys to a single small although crucial tale within the book of Christianity within a reputable and coherent approach.
The report originates really calmly nonetheless it may keep a person viewing. Many elements that have been extra are creepy but some some others possibly feel as if they will remain in the original report, there is certainly numerous emotive occasions and, certainly, action sequences. The ejaculate arena, even so, happens to be a bit lengthier since most of precisely what is shown within the trailer about the overflow, is usually precisely what is noticed in this flick, sadly Watch Noah Online Megashare.
Watch Noah Online Putlocker Even now, a very good flick which any person, believer or maybe not necessarily, really should view.
Ended up being the aforementioned review beneficial to a person?

Lately I haven't felt anything but anger and frustration from being in school, dealing with all the bullies at school and abusive teachers, then coming home and having to deal with my parents because of all the trouble the teachers put me through ... any advice?
It sounds like you're in a situation where the pressure feels like it's coming from all sides. Having to deal with bullies at school can make it hard to focus on schoolwork — then parents and teachers might pressure you for not doing, or acting, your best. Maybe no one really gets what you're going through. But letting anger and frustration build can affect your mood and happiness. And that's not fair to you.
Your challenge is to deal with bullies and meet expectations at school and home — all without losing your cool. That's hard to do alone!
Start by letting someone who really gets you know what you're up against. Find someone who is on your side. It might be a friend, a teacher, a coach, or an advisor. Ask this person to just hear you out for a few minutes. Explain the stress you're facing. (Make sure a teacher, coach, counselor, or someone else at school knows about the bullies and how they affect you.) Talking things through calmly also can help you vent the frustration and anger.
When someone knows what you're going through, you can think of ways to deal with the situation together. Plan how you'll react to bullies and ways to steer clear of them.
Keep anger under control with physical activity. When you're feeling angry or frustrated, channel it by going for a run, working out in the gym, or shooting hoops on the basketball court.
Find a little time to relax and chill. No matter what kind of day you've had, make time to relax and laugh. Find a friend or two to hang out with — even if it's just for a few minutes after school.
Taking these steps can help you override stress before it gets to be too much. The idea is to deal with the situation so stress doesn't pile up and affect your mood and happiness. Keep your cool, do your best, reach out to positive people — and don't let bullies ruin your day.

Driver's Education
The Olathe Public Schools offer state-approved driver's education courses that meet either in an after-school or summer school format. The program emphasizes defensive driving and the social responsibility of driving. Successful completion of this course, plus additional driving experience, will enable students to obtain a Kansas driver's license if they are 16 years old, or a restricted license if they are 15 years old, once all requirements are met.
Summer Sessions:
Summer sessions of driver's education will be offered June 1-25 (Session One) and June 29-July 27 (Session Two) at Olathe East, North and South. The district will offer morning and afternoon classes. Please complete the PDF application below and send with a $35 deposit before April 28. Requests postmarked after April 28 will be filled according to available space.
After-School Program:
Students must be at least 14.5 years old by the first class. Students are required to have their "instructional permit" (IP) from the state of Kansas before starting the class. Priority for enrollment will be given to older students.
Classes are Monday through Friday (except for non-school days) from 5-7 p.m., with one hour of driving time approximately every other day between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. Total classroom and driving time will be no longer than three hours per day.
There will be one session per year at each high school and enrollment is limited to students from that high school. Enrollment will be selected chronologically with the oldest being enrolled first. Any unfilled positions will be taken from other high schools on a chronological basis. It is recommended that students participate in the summer program if they need additional classroom assistance with reading or test taking.
The cost is $235 payable by cash or check (no credit cards). Successful completion of the course plus additional driving experience will enable students to obtain a Kansas driver's license or restricted license (depending on their age and length of time they've held a permit).
For more information, contact Director Kraig Taylor, firstname.lastname@example.com or Jane Jones, email@example.com. Please call (913) 302-2641 if you have questions.

Did Google "accidentally" leak a new Nexus smartphone?
It looks like the Android 4.4 KitKat statue is not the only thing revealed by Google today. A mysterious smartphone, sporting a large Nexus logo on its back has made an unscheduled appearance as well.
The mysterious smartphone you see in the photo above appeared in the video which showcases the Android 4.4 KitKat statue's placement in Google's campus. Google has subsequently made the YouTube video private, thus further strengthening the feeling that we are indeed looking at the real deal. You can see a copy of it obtained by The Verge below (the smartphone appears about 38 seconds into the video).
The yet to be revealed device sports a look which closely resembles that of the latest Nexus 7. It includes a large, landscape-oriented Nexus logo, as well as similar matte finish and camera placement. Furthermore, a Google employee with a Nexus 4 standing beside the person with the unannounced handset helps us notice the size difference between the two devices.
Rumors suggest that the next Nexus smartphone will be made by LG using the powerful G2 as a base. We doubt it will be a long wait before we find out.

Linder Bison
Farm History:
In 1994, Kathy and Ken decided to plan for their "active retirement" in a manner that allowed them to live on the land. Kathy introduced Ken to Bison meat, which he had never tasted. He loved it! Three years of research followed, to determine if raising Bison could provide a living. Our animals were purchased in 1997 and 2002 and placed on leased land. We managed the growing herds in consultation with the ranchers. In 2005 we purchased our own ranch and moved our herds there. That is where our grass-fed bison remain to this day.
County of Production: Lassen
Acres of Farmland Cultivated: 220
Farming Since: 1994

First search, using mutt's limit "l" command you can filter a
folder based on most anything ... header searches are fairly fast.
X-Label header appears to have built in support
l~y thing
would select messages that have a match for "thing" in any X-Label headers
If you don't like X-Label: then a search like
l~h X-tags:.*linux
should match your X-tags: header.

Searching on headers was the easy but adding/deleting tags from
messages seems to requires a little elbow grease.
Hunting through the manual, I didn't see an obvious way to update
any specific mail headers. However there are ways to edit the whole
message ... and ways to switch the editor ... so we'll combine those.
One of the more seemless ways of doing this seems to use a mutt macro
to replace the editor with a command which prompts you just for the tag
you want applied.
The attached script prompts for "what tag? ". Tell it + to add
or - to remove. Then give a space separated list of tag names to
add/remove, it updates the X-Label header or creates one ... based on
what's appropriate.
Add to your muttrc
set my_vi=$editor
macro index "z" ":set editor=tag\ne:set editor=$my_vi\n"
Save the attached perl script "tag" into someplace in your PATH
You can call it whatever you want, update the first editor=tag to
match the name you used if not "tag", full path if it's not in PATH.
You may want to enhance tag so that it prints a list of tags found
in the message before prompting for "what tags? "
While testing I see one problem, the ';' command to bulk process
't' tagged messages, doesn't handle 'e' correctly. So doing something
like 'T' to tag a bunch of messages then ';z' to tag them doesn't work
as expected.
I'm expecting most people want to bulk tag messages so this issue
will need to be addressed. Ideas for how to get around this are use
some more macros to "set" the string you want add/delete from x-label
then have the 'z' command to apply... this without prompting.
something like (completely untested)
macro index "\" ":set my_tag="
macro index "," ":set editor=\"tag -t '$my_tag'\"\ne:set editor=$my_vi\nj"
so to set the tag being applied you'd use
to mark things with that tag you'd hit
which would tag it and move to the next message
> Then when I delete, I can probably use some kind of hook to save the

You probably want to start using "s" to save messages instead of delete.
That saves them to another folder and marks them to be deleted at the same
time. You can define a macro like 'Z' that automatically saves
messages to the "read" folder.
macro index "Z" "s+read\n"
> Maybe an email tagged as "spam" could be auto-fed into bogofilter and
> deleted without backing it up...
You can define a macro like
macro index "S" "|spam\nd"
to pipe the message into a spam processor and mark it for deletion.

It's true that folders and tags are very different ways of organizing
things... mixing both modes in mutt probably won't work well as it is
I'll punt on the searching many folders for tags ... heavy tags users
probably don't use folders. I'd expect that the best "tag" experience in
mutt would be from merging all of the mail folders into a single folder
for everything (sent and inbox).

if I understand correctly, you would add a tag by copying the message
to a given folder, delete a tag by deleting the message from folder.
you'd probably see which tags exist on a message by looking at the header.
that seems like it could work well.
mutt's IMAP server handling must have gotten better since the last time
I tried it.
#! /usr/bin/perl -w

Rocket fire from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory continues. This past week three rocket hits were identified and one mortar shell was fired. In addition, heavy machine guns were fired from the Gaza Strip at the commercial center at the Yad Mordechai junction resulting in property damage. In response Israeli Air Force aircraft struck terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip.
A report dealing with the economic situation in the Gaza Strip for the first two quarters of 2012, issued by the Coordinator for government activities in the territories, indicated an increase in exports and a slight decline in unemployment. The Kerem Shalom crossing continued functioning even under fire during the escalation, and during the past six months more than 725,000 tons of merchandise and food passed through it. Cooking gas and diesel fuel were also delivered, helping the de-facto Hamas administration cope with the Gaza Strip's energy crisis.
Rockets Fired into Israeli Territory Since the Beginning of 2011[1]
Note: 162 of the rockets which landed in Israeli territory in June were fired during the round of escalation.

As they do every year, Gazan children will participate in summer camps over the vacation. They are organized and conducted by various groups and organizations. The newspaper Al-Quds printed an article about a summer camp organized by Hamas, according to which the children will undergo "strenuous military training," the same as that received by Hamas operatives (Al-Quds, July 10, 2012). Providing Palestinian children and adolescents with semi-military training is a familiar feature of the summer camps run by Hamas and other terrorist organizations.

According to a source in the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas' acceptance of the invitation did not reflect a change in the PA's policies toward Iran.

Wheat, durum markets flounderingFarmers are sour on wheat and durum markets. A year ago they were selling gold; now a buyer is doing them a favor by taking it off farmers' hands. It doesn't take long to build up resentment. Even worse, if farmers want the money and can't move it, they don't get the money.

5 Heart-Melting Reasons Why Bones' Seeley Booth Is A Great Dad
We were so moved by David Boreanaz' birthday tweet for his son Jaden's 10th birthday that we started thinking about how completely rockin' it would be for any kid to have Agent Seeley Booth as a Dad. Between Mama Brennan's (Emily Deschanel) braininess and Papa Booth's brawniness, his kids are pretty much secured a lifetime of awesomeness.
Get ready to awwwww out loud as we run through five heart-metling reasons we think Booth is doing a great job as Dad!
1. Sure, He's Overprotective, But It's Because He Cares
Remember in Season 4 when Booth sent little Parker (Ty Panitz) to see Sweets (John Francis Daley) because he was so extremely worried about his son's potential trauma over seeing that severed finger? (Gross, btw.) Well, Parker was fine – but Booth wanted to make extra, super sure that Parker wouldn't have nightmares and years of therapy. Yes, it's overkill, but we'll take smothering over neglect any day.
2. Even His Baby Mama Agrees
Booth really cares about being a good dad, you guys. Even way back when Parker's mom Rebecca (Jessica Capshaw) turned down Booth's marriage proposal, poor guy thought it was all about his ability to be a good father. Pshaw! Though she didn't want to marry Booth, Rebecca took the time to assure him that Parker was a lucky kid – her desire to avoid marriage had nothing to do with Booth's lack of parenting skills. We like imagine she's somewhere sobbing into a bowl of regret-flavored ice cream wishing she'd said yes.
3. It's Important Both His Kids Feel Equally Loved
Just because new Baby Christine is now on the scene, that doesn't make Parker old news. Booth goes out of his way to make sure that the two have proper bonding and that they're all one big happy family – Brennan included. Parker's adorably homemade baby-mobile/art-project thingy totally proves it's working!
4. 100% Total Role Model
Between his military background, unwavering faith and general super-strength moral fiber, we think that Booth sets the bar pretty high for exemplary personal conviction. He's also incredibly hot – whichof course helps.
5. He's Overjoyed At The News!
Remember that enormous smile he unleashed when Brennan told him "You're the father" at the end the Season 6 finale "The Change in the Game"? Well, yeah – who could forget?! He loved hearing the news. We loved hearing the news. Actually, everyone loved hearing the news. Booth is an amazing father. Case closed.

The John Deere rugs offers a snapshot of life in rural Scandinavia. Heavy machinery has long since replaced the labor of farm animals, leaving its trademark tracks in the grass and mud. The John Deere, on the other hand, imitates trampled turf (in green) or mud (in a brownish-grey). Made of New Zealand wool, the 5′ round rugs come from Norwegian designers Permafrost. These simple ideas are inspired by the Scandinavian winter, and are awesome for any contemporary interior. What's your favorite ?

Great carpets I think the snow rug with the little animal footprints is my favorite!
I like the snow rug too!

Vet Mentor Program Striving
It's been 18 months now since a veterans court and mentor program started in La Crosse County.
The results so far? WIZM'S Dan Deicher answers that.
61 veterans have gone through the mentor program in that time with 6 going through the court system. Not bad for not knowing what the future of the program would be.
Director, Thom Downer, says as more and more vet's come back to the states, more programs like this one in La Crosse will be needed. Racine County starts their own system soon.

London Cash Machine Has Cockney Language Option
By editor
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne.
Some moolah for your skyrocket? At one cash machine in East London you'll have to know a bit of cockney to put money in your pocket. The cockney dialect employs rhyming slang that changes a common word into a rhyming phrase. When customers choose the cockney option at the cash machine, it asks for their Huckleberry Finn - or PIN. Or see your balance on the Charlie Sheen - or screen. Or how about a receipt with your sausage and mash - or cash. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright National Public Radio.

question represents the implemented curriculum, "How is instruction organized?", while the fourth, "What have students learned?", corresponds to the attained curriculum.
In order to make sense of the TIMSS data and analyses, it is important to know how the researchers conceptualized—and then investigated—several elements of educational systems. Analyses that explore connections among these elements are likely to be most productive in enabling valid interpretations and conclusions. For instance, information gathered on the content and use of textbooks provides a view of the curriculum that is complementary to data gathered on curriculum frameworks and tests. Knowing what is in textbooks and how widely they are used or whether and how they are even required offers insight into the potential influence of curriculum material on what students have opportunities to learn. Yet such information does not necessarily provide insight into the curriculum that students encounter in the classroom. Teachers' decisions about the organization and presentation of material also shape the curriculum. And knowing what students are taught still would not tell us what any particular student experiences, as mediated by his or her own interpretations. All these differences in meaning of curriculum highlight the interface between intended and implemented curriculum.
There are many different ways to interpret what is meant by curriculum. No one is somehow "right"; instead, the interpretation depends on the questions one is trying to answer about curriculum. In examining data, it is important to understand how curriculum is being defined. What did the TIMSS mean by, and how did researchers gather data on, documents and texts — the intended curriculum? On instructional practices—the implemented curriculum? On student learning—the attained curriculum? Understanding their meanings is crucial to interpreting the TIMSS findings.
The intended curriculum: TIMSS focused on three elements of the intended curriculum. First, researchers gathered and examined a variety of documents from each country that offered clues to the curriculum, as it was publicly defined.5 In many countries, the intended curriculum is articulated nationally, through framework documents. In some countries, such as the United States and Switzerland, the curriculum is for the most part specified at the state, district, or canton6—not the national—level. In all cases, the researchers read and analyzed curriculum guides and lists of objectives.
Textbooks comprised a second element of the curriculum examined by TIMSS researchers. Researchers assembled a collection of mathematics and science textbooks from each country. Approximately 1,600 teachers' guides and textbooks were analyzed across participating countries. Wherever possible, the materials were selected to represent those used by a majority of a given nation's students.

Continuation of papavino's oven thread
2 Attachment(s)
I thought I'd start putting progress on my oven here instead of the introduction category.
So, this weekend we finished the stand and picked up materials for the hearth. That work will begin this Friday and Saturday. We filled the corners and then 5 other voids. Almost every block is tied into another one now. We also filled the arch and stuck some rebar in that was bent 90 degrees to tie all that together. I debated with myself on whether or not to recess the angle iron and my lazy side won the debate. Once the hearth is poured, nothing will be going anywhere.
Re: Continuation of papavino's oven thread
Looks good, you're on your way!
Re: Continuation of papavino's oven thread
I have a quick question for the community. I'm using Sakrete for all of my concrete needs and noticed the foundation had a slightly rough surface. We only used a trowel, so maybe we needed to use a float to smooth it all out. But I also saw some information on a contractor site stating that a shovel or so of cement added to an 80# bag of concrete would help smooth things out. Does anyone have an opinion on this? Any info would be helpful. Gracias!
Re: Continuation of papavino's oven thread
Actually if you use a float initially and tamp it down it brings the "creme" (cement and water mixture) to the top and pushes the gravel down. Then when it starts to set a trowel will smooth it out nicely. De nada.
Re: Continuation of papavino's oven thread
Just a note for those in the Seattle area who are currently building or are going to build: I called up Seattle Pottery Supply to inquire about the 14 lb bags of vermiculite that show up on their website. They no longer carry the loose vermiculite; just the vermiculite boards. They do carry perlite. 4 cu. ft. for $28.50. That's much better than the 8 quarts of vermiculite or perlite that Lowes or Maclendons carries for $3.97 (4 cu. ft = ~120 quarts). I haven't contacted any other suppliers in the area yet.
Sky Nursery carries 4 cu. ft. vermiculite for $36.97.
Steuber Distributing in Snohomish has 3.8 cu. ft. for $19.50. Looks like I'm headed north this weekend. Worth the drive for the savings.
Re: Continuation of papavino's oven thread
Hi Papavino,
Just picked up some perlite at McClendon's in Renton. 4cu.ft. $25.99. Vermiculite was $26.99 for 4cu.ft. I have completed the removal of my steel framing and is all bundled neatly for you or the local transfer station. Your base looks great. When are you going to pour the hearth?
Re: Continuation of papavino's oven thread
We're pouring the structural portion of the hearth on Saturday (in the rain, it looks like). How long should I wait before pouring the insulating layer? I was thinking I'd wait until Monday or Tuesday night to put that on top.
I'll have to go back to McClendon's today at lunch. I just wandered around the store without any real direction, so it might behoove me to ask.
Thanks for saving the steel frames. I can make another trip out to pick them up sometime. I've got a load of stuff for the transfer station from our re-piping, so if I decide that I want to go the igloo route, too, I can take them in. At least I'll have options. Thanks.
Re: Continuation of papavino's oven thread
You should be good to pour you insulation Mon. or Tue. after a Saturday hearth pour. I'd keep your heart perimeter form in place to protect the edge of the concrete hearth. It will still be soft for a few days. And, keep you underside form in place for week. Good luck with the pour.
McClendon's...row 9 to the right (west), back against the wall, look up if not stocked below.
Re: Continuation of papavino's oven thread
4 Attachment(s)
Okay. So we poured the structural portion of the hearth today. Went pretty smoothly. Just a little water seeping through the cracks between the form and the stand. The following few photos are from the setup and the pour.
The last photo was just an idea for the exterior. We have a lot of stones from digging the foundation and from putting new fence posts in last year. I was thinking I could use them to decorate the stand. I'll probably change my mind, but I kind of like the idea right now.
Re: Continuation of papavino's oven thread
I found the same bags of Perlite at Home Depot in Issaquah for $22.97.

though that video only stays on that site for 1 day, based on comments thats about the attention span of the readers anyhow. I am not sure the work involved in adding a browser detector and using HTML5 where you can.
as for the game, it looks cool, shows real promise, though I only have time to play with friends so doubt I will play it much.

The coveted, tiny private balconies at this elegantly restored mansion overlook Parque Hidalgo. You'll need to call in advance to reserve one for a 7 pm or 10 pm seating, as tables that overlook the park go especially fast. On weekends, when the street below is closed to traffic and tables are set up outside, it's pleasant to survey the park while feasting on Mayan dishes like sikil-pak (a dip with ground pumpkin seeds, charbroiled tomatoes, and onions) or succulent pollo pibil (chicken baked in banana leaves). If you happen to be in town on a Friday night, stop by for free Salsa lessons.

Environmental Issues
As the beverage and retail industries grow more environmentally aware, the use of ProCork products by wine producers provides them the opportunity to promote their eco-friendly image.
In improving environmental practices, the wine industry focuses on vineyard and winery issues - water, pesticide, herbicide, chemical usage, runoff and waste water as well as the key areas of packaging.
Cork is a product that has all the environmental benefits you could ask for. It is light weight, natural, recycled, a greenhouse gas sink and its use protects wildlife. Wine sealed in this way promotes a high class environmental image. You can't get more organic than cork.
A complete life cycle study conducted in Germany by The Institute for Applied Ecology, Freiburg, where the environmental impact of natural wine cork and screwcap were compared, came out in favour of cork.
The study concluded: "Cork closures perform considerably better than aluminium screwcaps across the most environmentally-relevant criteria and key environmental problem areas (resource depletion, contribution to the greenhouse effect, and their tendency to contribute to acidification)."

DWTS Season 14 Finals: Who Had the Best Freestyle?
The Dancing With the Stars Season 14 Finals have begun! And one of the best rounds of the entire season took place last night (May 21), with each of the three final couples performing their Freestyle dance, often referred to as the "make it or break it" moment.
So who do you think knocked it out of the park? Was it William Levy & Cheryl Burke with their hip-shaking, lift-heavy number? Or Katherine Jenkins & Mark Ballas, who decided to show off Katherine's ample Quickstep skills? Or was it the night's biggest risk-takers, Donald Driver & Peta Murgatroyd, whose Freestyle had a country theme, and featured some of the most impressive lifts we've seen in DWTS history?
Donald picked up his first perfect 30 score for his Freestyle, and Katherine also got a 10 from each judge. William, however, failed to win judge Len Goodman's full stamp of approval, and wound up with a 29 out of 30.
Now it's your turn to vote in our poll below, and share who you think was the top Freestyler of Season 14!
Watch the next new episode of DWTS tonight, May 22 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

10 ways to build trust with customers
1. Remember information for people, not about them.
Each person should benefit from the information you remember for them, and they must approve in advance what you intend to do. Here's what you can remember.
2. Don't confuse a relationship with advertising.
If you are advertising, you don't have a relationship. Personal information should not be used for advertising.
3. Don't blab about your relationships to others.
If your friends tell you personal information, you wouldn't give it to others. So don't sell, rent or share information about your customers.
4. Assume the answer is no.
Advertisers like to brag that they allow people to "opt-out." That's like assuming a person will marry you unless they "opt-out." Unless a customer gives explicit permission, don't include them.
5. Serve instead of sell.
Customer experience is about service, not selling. Service is what wins, keeps and grow customers. Selling is useless without service.
6. People can't approve what they don't understand.
Most people have no idea what technology now allows. Don't believe surveys that say people "aren't worried" about privacy.
7. Find products for customers, not customers for products.
Most companies already have customers. Serve them better, and work harder to satisfy a broader range of their needs.
8. Personal information should benefit that person.
If you have permission, use personal information to deliver the four major benefits of customer experience: save me time, save me money, provide me better (often less) information, or give me a customized service
9. Feedback must change behavior.
