Over the years, Boris has released a set of phenomenal tools, that saved lives of OpsMgr administrators quite some time in performing common OpsMgr tasks in OpsMgr 2007 and 2007 R2..
The sad news is that Boris has moved to another team within Microsoft. He has made a tremendous contribution over the years to the OpsMgr product, and I am sure he will rock on into his new role and team. At the same time he will be missed.
In order to not let those tools go to waste, since I know many people use them, I have asked him to give me the code of his tools and allow me to update and maintain those tools going forward. And so I did: I updated a couple of his tools to work with OpsMgr 2012:
OverrideCreator 1.5
All the above tools require the Operations Manager Console being installed on the machine where you run them, as well as the .NET framework 4.0.
According to my information, the above four tools were the most used/useful. Feel free to comment if need any other one being updated and/or have bug reports or feature requests – albeit I don't promise I will be able to fix or update everything
Just like their predecessors, it is necessary to make clear that this posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. Use of included utilities are subject to the terms specified at http://www.microsoft.com/info/cpyright.htm

RecruitMilitary job fair for veterans headed to Oklahoma City
"Recruiting firm RecruitMilitary will host a career fair for veterans in Oklahoma City. More than 30 companies are expected to attend the June 11 event at the Chevy Bricktown Events Center and could extend more than 120 job offers to veterans."
Veterans job fair in Norman draws crowd
" NORMAN — More than 400 veterans attended an All Veterans Job Fair, networking with veteran-friendly employers including General Electric Co., Xcel Energy, Lockheed Martin and AdvancePierre Foods, to name a few. "
Local Businesses Commit To Hiring Veterans
"OORE, Oklahoma - President Obama took on the issue of hiring veterans during last night's State of the Union speech. "So to every CEO in America, let me repeat: If you want to hire somebody who's going to get the job done and done right, hire a veteran," said the President. "
RecruitMilitary CEO: Hiring Oklahoma's veterans as employees, not charity cases
"Based on last year's media coverage, Oklahomans would be shocked to learn that there is no veterans' unemployment crisis. But the numbers don't lie. The 2014 national unemployment rate for post-9/11 veterans was 7.2 percent, the lowest rate recorded in the metric's seven-year history. The overall veteran unemployment rate fell to 4.7 percent, lower than the national workforce unemployment rate."
The Hire More Heroes Act is misguided. There is no veterans' unemployment crisis.
"Americans may be shocked to learn that there is no veterans' unemployment crisis. The unemployment rate in 2014 for post-9/11 veterans was 7.2 percent, the lowest level in seven years of tracking these veterans. "
What Government Should Actually Do To Support Veterans' Employment
"The latest crisis at the Department of Veterans Affairs has called into question again the proper role of government in the care of our veterans. Whereas healthcare is clearly in shambles, veterans' employment is another realm in which well-meaning government involvement has been inefficient at best and ineffective or counterproductive at worst. "
Employment and Returning Veterans
"Peter Gudmundsson talked about the availability of jobs for returning service members."
The four myths and opportunities of hiring veterans today
"In an era when "support our troops" bumper stickers are common and billboards and radio advertisements abound with rallying calls to give veterans a job, it is not surprising that many employers are overwhelmed and confused. Good intentions permeate most efforts to employ veterans at the national, state and local levels."
Beyond Altruism
"Among the fondest memories Peter Gudmundsson '85 has of his three years as an active-duty U.S. Marine officer was the time in 1987 when, off the coast of Vietnam, he stood on the deck of a U.S. Navy ship looking up at the Soviet planes flying overhead. What was particularly memorable, he says, was not the plane flying overhead, but the reaction of the men in his platoon"
Businesses hoping to hire Oklahoma veterans at expo event
"NBC 4 (KFOR) – An organization that helps find jobs for veterans is coming to Oklahoma City later this week. RecruitMilitary is hosting a Veteran Opportunity Expo for veterans and men and women with a military background."
Money For Lunch
"Money for Lunch host Bert Martinez interviewed Peter Gudmundsson. Discussed veteran hiring."
Helping veterans overcome job search challenges
"Mike Rollins is featured on America Now. Recently, America Now visited a RecruitMilitary job fair held at the Hurst Conference Center in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. "
Oklahoma event aims to help veterans find jobs
"ABC 5 (KOCO) - An event in Oklahoma City was held Thursday to help veterans find jobs. Veterans said it can be a difficult transition when moving from military to civilian life. "
Unemployment Rate for Vets Higher Than That Of Civilians
"CBS 9 (KWTV) - They've bravely served our country overseas. Now some of Oklahoma's finest are struggling to find work here at home."
TN veterans face tough battle to find employment
"By Naomi Snyder Terry Pack was an aircraft mechanic serving in the Army in Iraq, spending two of the last six years in combat overseas. Now that he's done his service for the country, he can't even get a job doing oil changes at Sears. "It's tough,'' said the unemployed Clarksville veteran, who was honorably discharged in January. "I've been looking for any job." A congressional hea..."
Oklahoma City job fair offers opportunity for ex-military personnel
"By PAULA BURKES, Business Writer Blake Eaton of Mustang is planning a search-and-employ mission this week. He's looking for a job at the RecruitMilitary Career Fair Thursday in Bricktown... "Vets have a great work ethic," said John Lundberg, a former Marine and director of Thursday's RecruitMilitary career fair, for which about 300 have preregistered. Employers value veterans for ..."
Veterans and Jobs
"Matt Murphy, RecruitMilitary's Senior VP of Business Development and Sales is a guest on Washington Journal to talk about a recent report that shows the jobless rate for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars is over eleven percent. He talks about connecting employers, educational institutions, and franchisors to veterans because of their character, skills and training, diversity, and securi..."

Tide tables and solunar tables for sport fishers in Colwyn Bay. Find out the forecast for high tides and low tides before setting out to fish, and other fishing-related data such as the lunar phase, tidal coefficient, sun and moon rising and setting times, hours of maximum fish activity, weather conditions in Colwyn Bay ...
We want you to enjoy to the max a well-planned fishing expedition! Good luck!
Tides4fishing allows you to make tide predictions for Colwyn Bay years in advance. Please note that the data are approximations only valid for fishing and so IS NOT VALID FOR NAVIGATION.
Today Wednesday, 1st of July of 2015, the sun will rise in Colwyn Bay at 4:52 h and sunset will be at 21:46 h. Today we begin the day with the moon already visible in the sky, so first we will see the moonset, which will take place at 4:38 h at 238º southwest. Eventually, the moon will rise again in the southeast (122º) at 20:49 h.
In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first low tide will be at 5:25 h and the next low tide at 17:45 h. The first high tide will be at 11:05 h and the next high tide at 23:25 h.
The lunar phase is a Waxing Gibbous. Today we will have 16 hours and 54 minutes of sun. The solar transit will be at 13:19 h and the length of time the moon will be visible will be 7 hours and 49 minutes.
The tidal coefficient today is 88, a high value and therefore the range of tides and currents will also be high. At noon the tidal coefficient increases to 90 to end the day with a tidal coefficient of 92. The tide heights today are 1.1 m, 7.1 m, 0.9 m and 7.5 m. We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for Colwyn Bay which is of 8.7 m and a minimum height of -0.4 m.
The solunar fishing calendar in Colwyn Bay tells us that today is an excellent day for fishing, the fish activity forecast is very high. Please, read more about solunar tables. The best times of day for fishing are:
| from 0:16 h to 2:16 h, very high activity Major period (moon up)
from 4:38 h to 5:38 h, very high activity minor period (moonset). This period of high activity coincides with sunrise; therefore the sun will exercise more influence, resulting in an excellent time for fishing
from 12:43 h to 14:43 h, very high activity Major period (moon down)
from 20:49 h to 21:49 h, very high activity minor period (moonrise). This period of high activity coincides with sunset; therefore the sun will exercise more influence, resulting in an excellent time for fishing
Tide timetable for Colwyn Bay. The times are generated in local time in Wales and the daylight saving time change is calculated automatically, so you don't need to add or subtract anything. You will also have the lunar phase, sunrise and sunset times, the tidal coefficient and the average fish activity forecast for each day according to the solunar tables:
[ 0 low activity ] , [ average activity ] , [ high activity ] , [ very high activity ]
NOTE: The times reflected in the tide table for Colwyn Bay are tide forecasts only valid as references for sport fishing. They shouldn't be used as a guide for navigation. The heights are expressed in meters referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
MLLW is the average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the official time segment over which tide observations are taken and reduced to obtain mean value (Tidal Datum Epoch).
WALES: Tides for Aberdovey | Tides for Aberystwyth | Tides for Amlwch | Tides for Bardsey Island | Tides for Barmouth | Tides for Barry | Tides for Beaumaris | Tides for Burry Port | Tides for Caernarfon | Tides for Cardiff | Tides for Chepstow | Tides for Colwyn Bay | Tides for Conwy | Tides for Criccieth | Tides for Ferryside | Tides for Fishguard | Tides for Hilbre Island | Tides for Holyhead | Tides for Little Haven | Tides for Llanddwyn Island | Tides for Llandudno | Tides for Llanelli | Tides for Llangoed | Tides for Menai Bridge | Tides for Milford Haven | Tides for Moelfre | Tides for Mostyn Docks | Tides for Mumbles | Tides for New Quay | Tides for Newport | Tides for Neyland | Tides for Port Cardigan | Tides for Porthcawl | Tides for Porthgain | Tides for Solva | Tides for Steep Holm | Tides for Swansea | Tides for Tenby | Tides for Trefor

is a more "ecological" view that considers the genome as a set of genetic elements with potentially different kinds of interactions, ranging from cooperative (mutualistic), to neutral (commensal), to selfish (parasitic) (Avise, 2001). According to this paradigm, genetic conflict can arise among components of the genome that have different transmission patterns (e.g., transposons, nuclear genes, cytoplasmic genes), and therefore conflicting genetic interests. The basic idea is as follows: When components of the genome have different transmission patterns, selection can act on an element to increase its transmission even if that is detrimental to the organism and/or other heritable components of the genome. Genetic conflict within the genome will then result, because enhanced transmission of an SGE decreases transmission of other genetic elements. An evolutionary "arms race" can then occur among different components of the genome over basic biological processes.
Werren et al. (1988) raised three basic questions about SGEs that are still the subject of study today: (i) What are their origins, (ii) how are SGEs maintained, and (iii) are SGEs important in evolution? Regarding this last question, they concluded that "selfish elements, and the 'intragenomic conflict' they create, may be an important force promoting evolutionary change. However, this possibility has not been demonstrated conclusively in any system" (Werren et al., 1988). They further observed that the pace of understanding of SGEs "is expected to accelerate with the application of molecular cloning techniques" (Werren et al., 1988). Subsequent advances have eclipsed this expectation. What has occurred in the intervening years is the genomics revolution, a veritable explosion of information and techniques that have begun to open the "black box" of genome structure, function, and evolution. Today, there are over 1,000 bacterial genomes and over 100 eukaryote genomes sequenced, with the numbers growing almost daily (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/genomes/). These data and advances in genetic techniques have helped reveal how genomes evolve and function. The story that is emerging increasingly supports a central role of SGEs in shaping structure and function of genomes and in playing an important role in such fundamental biological processes as gene regulation, development, evolution of genetic novelty, and evolution of new species.
Here, I describe the conceptual framework for SGEs and genetic conflict as well as their types, and I then discuss developments that reveal the role of SGEs in important biological processes. There are several common themes to the topic that are briefly listed here and elaborated on below:

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 1/7/13
After a bye week off, the Patriots now know who their divisional round opponent is — and they should seem pretty familiar. It wasn't all that lone ago (just under a month, in fact) that the Houston Texans traveled to Gillette Stadium for what was billed as a heavyweight matchup between two Super Bowl contenders. The end result didn't nearly match the hype, as Tom Brady and the Pats resoundingly thumped Houston 42-14 to solidify their dominance in the AFC, while the Texans stumbled to the finish line thereafter. But despite the fact that New England had so much success last time around, it seems like a pretty tall order to do it again against a team with so many different weapons. Speaking of which, who are those weapons, and who should the Patriots most fear receiving some payback from? First up is obviously Arian Foster, who, if not for one man toiling up in Minnesota, would easily be the gold standard for running backs in the NFL. During the 2012 season Foster just did what he does every year, putting up solid numbers with 1,424 yards and 15 touchdowns on the campaign. Next up clearly comes J.J. Watt, who had an absolute breakout season on the defensive end of the ball, coming into his own as one of the most feared defensive forces in the league. Not that the Patriots don't know that, as last time Watt visited they prepared for his arrival by using racquetball racquets to simulate his ability to bat down passes. And, last but not least comes Andre Johnson, who remains quarterback Matt Schaub's most reliable target. The 31-year-old not only has just about every Texans receiving record in the organization's brief history, but also ranks second all-time in the NFL in receiving yards per game, behind only Calvin Johnson. So, who makes you the most nervous? Who should the Patriots focus on containing in Sunday's playoff matchup? Take Our Poll

Hi Friends,
I am new here and got an issue that i need help with... I need to copy some files from the CD to the user system and then after copying I called the "setup.cmd" file to start the installer. When I copy the files, I do this:
xcopy *.* "%temp%\myfolder
rem c:
cd myfolder
call setup.com
Now, the problem is, this only works if i remove that comment line i.e "rem c:" but since the users can have their TEMP directories on D: or E: drive, I do not want to do that..so I would like to know what's the best way to handle this scenario...
Second thing I was thinking is to create a SFX using WinRAR but I am doubtful whether it will work on client systems that do not have WInRAR installled???
Any help would be appreciated.

Replace your second and third lines with either
As for the WinRAR SFX, it is a standalone and therefore requires no installation on the users system.
- Pushd %temp%\MyFolder
- Cd /d %temp%\MyFolder

Remember Me
On Friday night the band kicked off the festivities with "Already There" and worked
through many of their most-beloved songs. Towards the end of the show, Montbleau and
guitarist Lyle Brewer offered a duo performance of "How Many Times?" and guitarist Luke
Milanese helped out on a cover of "Let's Dance."
Saturday saw the group treat fans to more beloved gems from the past 10 years, both covers
and originals. Longtime RMB friends Jesse Dee, Peter Prince and Johnny Trauma helped out
on a cover of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy." Scudder, who left the band a few years back,
joined in for the final nine songs of the evening including takes on "I Can't Wait,"
"Songbird," "This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody)" and the version of "City" that brought
the show and the band to a close.
Watch video shot by sutmickle of "Let's Dance":
Audio of both shows can be purchased via the
band's online store. Montbleau will carry on with solo shows before he announces his
next move.

Do you have the hatch door inner plastic panel, in good shape?

Do you have the hatch door inner plastic panel, in good shape?
Has anybody used these? Cast aluminum parts seem like it would be great.
Just wondering if anyone has used them yet.
I have springs for a b4 wagon. No shocks or struts though.
So I bought this accidentally as I thought I was buying a headliner. Bad intel. Anyhow turned out to be this very nice, but wrong for my car rear seat upholstery. Has both seating surfaces, no rear...
So I have done a ford coil conversion a while back love the way it runs with the autolites. Went through a couple used icms from the salvage yard. Finally used up the ones I had and needed a new one....
Its actually pretty easy. The metal tab is a spring you can either pull out with pliers or push down, whichever is easier and then just pull off. You will want a new o-ring to reassemble, like $3.
While at the junk yard working on my other problem, I picked up the pigtails from an A6 that takes this ICM. Might try at some point. Anyone else here ever tried it or know anything about it?
So in the end it was the coil itself. Thought I had ruled that out by continuity but whatever. Have had a ford coil conversion in there so I found one at the junkyard and away we go. That of course...
No codes shown. Not too much of a surprise since the CEL wasn't on. Not sure if a dead ECU would show that or not, my first time doing this thing. Anyone have any ideas?
Isn't so much about gains as it is a more about having an easier to source/less expensive ICM.
no, just using the left side diagram. Only using one ICM.
had a thought and wasn't sure if this would work. I figure someone here would be able to say yay or nay.
So the question is if an ICM from an audi A6 would be able to be used on a VR6. connection...
I installed it and it has been working great for the last couple months. Running well and got rid of the SAI code and let me pass emissions:laugh:
Will try scanning tonight.
Forgot to mention, a couple months ago I put in a C2 race chip. Not sure if that could be the culprit but figured I would mention it.
Still here.
Soooo. On my way home from Christmas, driving down the interstate and all the sudden loose power. No noise, or anything. Pulled over and discovered the cat was glowing. It had been smelling the egg...
Need some help here. In the interest of time my wife convinced me to have someone put on all the parts I have been gathering, ball joints, control arm bushings, brakes, brake lines and wheel...
Anyone, anyone?

Our guest this week is Rabbi Rachel Isaacs of the Beth Israel congregation in Waterville, Maine. Rabbi Isaacs was the first openly gay Rabbi to be ordained by the Jewish Theological Seminary. Prior to the JTS, Isaacs earned her B.A. from Wellesley College in 2005, where she was the Hillel Co-President. Rabbi Isaacs, a former Wexner Fellow, has also studied in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. In addition to her rabbinical duties, she currently serves as Jewish Chaplain at Colby College, where she teaches Hebrew and Jewish theology on campus.
This week's Torah portion – Parashat Devarim (Deuteronomy 1:1-3:22) – is the first portion from the book of Deuteronomy. In this parasha, Moses begins his review of the story of the people of Israel in the 40 years following their exodus from Egypt. In his narrative, he recalls events such as his appointment of Judges and magistrates; the wandering through the desert; the sending of the spies; the people's spurning of the Promised Land; the wars fought against the Emorite kings; and his own words of encouragement to his successor Joshua. Our talk focuses, among other things, on the role of personal narrative and life experiences in forming our attitude towards our legacy.
If you would like to learn some more about Parashat Devarim, take a look at our conversation with Rabbi Elie Kaunfer.

32 year old man | Salt Lake City, UT, USA | Seeking men 28-42 in Utah, United States
If my pic doesn't pique, what's this headline gonna do?
Looking at life with new lenses (aviators, natch) after an 8-year LTR (don't freak out!) ended last year. I live rather simply but comfortably. No one to impress but me. Studied and worked hard in my 20s to land a great, secure job in the nonprofit world that allows me to travel often and possibly work remotely. Not sure if Salt Lake's where I'll stay long-term. Maybe you can persuade me? ;) As for someone else: looking to take it slow and preferably meet active and goal-oriented guys who can carve out space if chemistry is there. Not going to hop into something, but also realize great guys aren't a dime a dozen and you have to be open. I'm fairly traditional when it comes to relationships, and am attracted to those who conduct themselves with some dignity and decorum in this age of compulsive self-reveal. Final thought for Utah singles: Please have worked through most of your internal homo conflict, self-hate/insecurity if you're thinking about contacting me. Yes, we all get disgusted with ourselves, and our kind, from time to time — and for valid reasons. I've done the work and while I'm light years from perfect, I can say I'm a proud gay man to anyone in my life worth knowing. I'll make possible exceptions for clear works in progress ;)
Book club , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Performing arts , Playing sports , Religion/Spiritual , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing
Running, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Birds, Dogs, Horses
I've 'owned' (for lack of a better term) several dogs throughout my life. My last dog passed on in November 2012. I miss her every day, and hope to have dogs again. I also help my friend groom horses. Still a little weary to saddle up.
Middle of the Road
I've enjoyed studying abroad in Spain and traveling Western Europe, Turkey and Peru. Heading to Japan this spring. New York, San Diego, DC, Puerto Rico and the four-corners region are my favorite U.S. spots.
Concerts, staying active, good music and silence, good honest people, a clean house, checking off my 10-year travel destinations, staying in touch with family and long-time friends. Musicians/TV: PJ Harvey, Roisin Murphy, Strangers with Candy.
Being active (yoga, rollerblading, track running) and mentally stimulated (unearthed great music and film, live music, piano). Stable, fun-seekers who enjoy the 'cultured life.' (I didn't say high culture : ) TV marathons, sweaty yoga (fun to me!)
Entertainment Weekly, most memoirs and books about city planning.

You are currently browsing the monthly archive for April 2008.
In my capacity as the administrator of a data mining contest (I've included a link to said contest, even though I assume that very few people are interested both in rambling diatribes about grammar and in the issue of classifying data based on only a positively-labelled training set), I ended up having to look up information about how to properly call the language of Slovenia (Slovene and Slovenian are apparently both acceptable). For reasons I've since forgotten, this made me interested in the early history of the Cyrillic alphabet, so where else should I turn but Wikipedia, which has a tremendous table detailing the letters of the early Cyrillic alphabet? If you follow that link and scroll down a bit, you'll see a letter that is called an "ornate omega", which apparently "would seem to be used in interjections, especially before vocatives." It looks like this: . To be honest, I figured this had to be a joke — a symbol that looks exactly like a face yelling something being used in vocatives (an expression identifying the addressee)? It would be like if English adopted ":D" as a variant of capital D in excited sentences and :( as a variant of capital C in sad sentences.
(1) I can't believe we get to go to :Disneyland today!
(2) I didn't get to go to the :(ow Palace when I was in San Francisco.
(I just might start doing this.) Anyway, I was unsure if I should believe in this "ornate omega" stuff, but then I found a similar omega variant in a version of the Slavonic alphabet: So maybe those 10th century monks were on to something. It's unclear whether this was an early version of emoticons or an early version of a theme font. Either way, I'd like to buy those monks a beer, except for the fact that they probably wouldn't be allowed to drink a beer, and they're probably dead by now. So it goes.
You may have noticed that I've made something of a habit of flouting prescription and unapologetically using they as a non-specific third person singular pronoun — along the lines of "he or she". As any good, rage-filled prescriptivist will gladly inform you, this is WRONG WRONG WRONG.
But it's not, as Geoff Pullum insightfully argues. In summary: singular they is historically attested (by good writers, even), is hardly semantically or syntactically illogical, and is clearly useful. There is no conceivable harm that comes from using singular they. But I suggest reading his post, because it's an excuse to bask in the glow that is Geoff Pullum's writing style.
In the earlier post I wrote on the email/e-mail debate, I claimed that, were I backed into a corner, I would favor the unhyphenated version. However, today I was writing my comps paper (on speaker choice in the needs doing alternation), and found myself typing the word "e-mail" into the paper. It just felt right in that situation. And that's why I don't want to be tied down to just one form or the other; sometimes the dispreferred form is just better for a given task.
I'm bringing this up not to bore you with the details of my personal life, nor to toss in a plug for my upcoming paper, (although these are both unintended benefits) but because I wanted an excuse to revisit the hyphenation question and give a few arguments against a few arguments that the hyphen is necessary. Commenter mike — who, by the way, has a nice blog and a great outlook on grammar — suggested that this website had some "not-unreasonable" arguments for the hyphen. The arguments didn't seem unreasonable, but also the author took pains to condescend to people like me and Mike and Donald Knuth, who use email unselfconsciously. And so I was forced to take pains to point out some flaws in these arguments for e-mail.
First off, the author claims that "Established publications edited by grown-ups" use e-mail. We're so predictable, those of us engaged in this prescriptivist/descriptivist war, huh? The prescriptivists call the descriptivists ill-educated, or child-like, or focused on the lowest common denominator, or claim that we're opening the gates to language barbarians. The descriptivists call the prescriptivists bloody-minded pedants, cantankerous old cads, or angry old coots. And so on. (Some muckrakers might even go so far as to attempt to claim that I have at times in the past engaged in such sophomoric name-calling, but I'm nearly positive that they're mistaken.)
Anyway, the author had best hope that the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Reuters News Service, and the Guardian don't catch wind of this slight. I think they all like to think of themselves as established and edited by adults — well-educated and grammatically precise adults, no less. Ditto the Oxford English Dictionary, which lists email as the preferred spelling of the noun and as an acceptable spelling of the verb. And it first attests email in 1982.
Okay, so respectable grown-up publications use email. Next point: e-mail is not a compound word, but rather a word headed by a single letter abbrevation for electronic. Thus the hyphen should be retained because "no initial-letter-based abbreviation in the history of the English language has ever morphed into a solid word". At first, I couldn't think of any example of this either. The author cites A-frame as one example, but in this case, the A isn't short for anything, so we're not looking at quite the same situation. Better examples would be A-bomb and H-bomb, short for atomic and hydrogen bombs. However, even this isn't quite the same situation, because A and H aren't productive prefixes in English, at least as far as I'm aware. It's not like I can say A-clock and have people figure out I mean atomic clock. It seems to me that the e- prefix is relatively unprecedented, so you can't dismiss hyphen removal out of respect for the past. Both e and i have established themselves as productive prefixes without hyphens: iGoogle, iPod, iMac; eHarmony, ecard, eBay. I'm inclined to say these prefixes are proving themselves able to operate without a hyphen, regardless of what previous initial-letter-prefixes did.
And, finally, about the pronunciation of the unhyphenated version. No one but a contrarian would read the word email with the wrong pronunciation*; it's common enough that people have memorized how it's pronounced, and no reasonable mispronunciation of email sounds like another word. It is entirely possible for a word-initial e to be read as a long e [i: in IPA]; witness evil. And compounding/prefixing/suffixing words has always led to pronunciations that aren't what you'd expect: cooccur, baseball, modeled. We are readers of English — complaining that a word doesn't sound like it's spelled is like complaining that a part of the ocean is too wet.
Summary: Look, there are arguments that e-mail is better with a hyphen, and there're arguments that it's better without one. None of them is compelling. Use the form you want.
[*An old (but not necessarily contrarian) potter could also confuse it with the word email, as in a type of ink used on porcelain, derived from the French word for "enamel". This word is pronounced with an "eh" sound at the beginning. However, I can't find this word attested on the internet, so I think the possibility of confusion is minor at the most.]
p.s.: I'm probably going to post quite sparingly for the next three to four weeks because I have to pound out my comps paper if I want to remain a graduate student. And I do, because it's a pretty sweet lifestyle.
I didn't vote in the California primary this year, predominantly out of protest over the absurdity of our flawed primary system, partially out of solidarity for those shut out of the process in Florida and Michigan, and partially because I wasn't strongly for or against any of the candidates at the time. However, on the eve of the Pennsylvania primary, I am reminded of the fact that one should always vote, even if only to negate people like this reader of The Lehigh Valley Morning Call:
"So far, Hillary has my vote because she says she will 'try to' do something. I've heard most of the other candidates from both parties say they will 'try and' do something. I don't know where this 'try and' thing ever came from, but it's becoming so common that almost everyone uses it. It's ugly, awkward and incorrect. I hope this terrible misuse of the language can be stopped."
This is not how to make a political decision. First off, (completely ignoring the likely satirical stance of the reader) proper grammar has nothing to do with the necessary qualities of a president. That would be like voting for a president on the basis of hairstyle or fashion sense. Good hair and fashion sense might well be indicative of an attention to detail that is useful as a president. So too might exceedingly proper grammar. But it also might reflect an underlying belief in style over substance, or an inability to relate to the common man. (It's interesting to note that Obama, who's now under fire for his "elitism", was accused by this complainant of being a member of the grammatical unwashed.)
As far as I'm concerned (and I say this as someone who often misspeaks), the propriety of a president's grammar has no bearing on their ability to lead the nation. I'm not against Bush for his frequent grammar missteps any more than I am against Dan Quayle for misspelling 'potato'. Speaking is hard, and if you're in the public spotlight, you're going to mess up from time to time. All I'm saying is, no one's perfect, calm the heck down. Even if you think that try and is a grievous grammatical error (which it's not, as we'll see), let he who is without questionable usage cast the first stone.
But more to the point of this blog, I've got some leads for the complainant on where — and when — this try and thing came from, and the answer is, as usual, from extension of an existing acceptable construction somewhere around the 1700s. I'm assuming you're all familiar with the phrases come and and go and, as in:
(1) I'll go and see what episode of Antiques Roadshow is on.
(2) Would you come and tell me whether the appraiser I like is on?
I don't think anyone is going to say (1) or (2) are bad grammar. They're definitely fine by me, and they're attested well into the past at the OED (see and, B. 10). Anyway, the same basic construction, where the action of the first verb (come, go) occurs before the action of the second verb of the second one (see, tell), got applied with a few other first verbs, such as try. This yielded sentences like:
(3) Vic's going to try and fit twenty-seven grapes in his mouth tonight.
This extension makes some sense: first Vic will try to fit the grapes in his mouth, and then he will fit the grapes in his mouth, just as in (1), I will go and then see. (It's a little weird with try because it's difficult to clearly say whether the final outcome should count as part of the act of trying. If I'm trying to hit a home run, and I do hit a home run, at what point did I stop trying and start doing it? It's a sticky metaphysical situation.)
Independent of its sensibility, though, the try and extension has some history behind it. The first attestation in the OED is in 1878, in an economics primer. Google Books has examples dating back to — saints be praised! — 1603, 1657, and 1662. It's not a new phenomenon and it used to be used in formal writings. In fact, the Merriam-Webster Dictionary of English Usage hypothesizes that try and predates try to. Nowadays, though, try and is somewhat more colloquial; to me, at least, it looks out of place in formal writing. That's not to say it does not appear in writing; in fact, the construction is commonplace in modern books, but seems more common in ones with a slightly informal tone.
But there's nothing wrong with saying try and; it's old, it's well-attested, and it's got a reasonable lineage. So please don't base your vote on whether or not a candidate says it. Unless, of course, you're voting in favor of a candidate who uses try and, who's willing to stand by history and ignores the ill-informed objections of armies of pedants. That would show character.
Summary: try and is a venerable old construction with 400 years of usage backing it. For whatever reason, it's no longer considered sufficiently formal for formal/business writing, but it's still fine in most writing styles and certainly in speech. As Fowler said: "It is an idiom that should be not discountenanced, but used when it comes natural."
