Labels and branches in Team Foundation Server
December 5, 2007
(This post comes with a TLDR warning)
In one project, we've just moved from Visual Source Safe (VSS) to Team Foundation Server (TFS) and its source control. The most confusing thing to me so far has been the difference in how labels behave. Whereas in VSS you could mark your files with a label and then easily see what changes have been made to them afterwards in the history, the TFS labels don't even show when you click "View history". I found this very hard to get my head around. We had been using labels to mark releases, which made it easy to see what code was in production and so on. It seems as though labels in TFS aren't point-in-time labels the way they are in VSS. For understanding this, I recommend the excellent post Why TFS labels aren't like SourceSafe labels from bharry's WebLog.
Let's say you've got the three environments: development, test and production. The best way to handle things (at least when there is only a small number of developers) seems to be to create two branches in TFS: one that contains the code that is in production and one that you are developing new features on. This way you can switch to the production branch and make changes that require little testing before releasing, in case there are any urgent bugs that need to be fixed. After that you merge the bug fixes into your development branch. This way you don't have to test every new feature in order to get a new bug fix out quickly.
I know this differs a lot from the proposed "Single release scenario" in the Microsoft paper Team Foundation Server Branching Guide, where they have four branches. But I want to keep the number of branches at a minimum in order to reduce complexity.
I thought about creating a new branch for the testing environment, so that you know what code is there and you can continue developing new features while the testers get to work. If they give a green light, you just release the test branch code to production, and you don't have to worry that any untested code from development leaks through. However, after talking to the very knowledgeable Magnus Timner (TFS certified) of Transcendent Group, I realized you can accomplish this with labels. This way you don't have to have a separate test branch all the time, which should minimize the dangers of synchronizing between branches and merging problems etc.
Whenever you release something to test, just label the code in your development branch. When the testers give a green light you can either take your development code (if no changes have been made) or create a new temporary branch from the label which you can release. After that, merge it into the production branch and delete the temporary branch.
If your testing cycles are longer than a few days, labels might not be the way to go though. I quote the aforementioned document:
"While powerful in its own respect, we'd like to caution against the over-use of labels given that:
- Team Foundation Server does not retain a history of changes made to the label.
- Given certain permissions, labels might be deleted or otherwise invalidated by changes, and there is no way of auditing those changes.
- There can be contention for a given label if more than more person wants to use and modify the label or the files contained in the label.
As such, we recommend using labels only in cases where you need a snapshot of sources for a short duration of time or if you can guarantee via permissions that the label won't be changed."
What do you think? I'm only beginning to learn the TFS way, so I'd be more than happy to receive insightful comments.

You seem to be heading down the right path. I have found that it is best to have a Mainline and use it as an Active Development Line while creating Release Lines to be able to handle hot fixes and maintenance releases. If you want to learn more of (vendor independent) branching and other software configuration management best practices I can really recommend Steve Berczuks and Brad Appletons book "Software Configuration Management Patterns: Effective Teamwork, Practical Integration" (http://www.scmpatterns.com/). If you're interested I can bring it the next time we hook up for lunch. ;-)

One-on-One: Director Dee Rees on Her Intimate Debut Film 'Pariah'
Some filmmakers debut their movie at the Sundance Film Festival, catch the eye of a few investor types and cross their fingers for even the smallest form of distribution.
Dee Rees, on the other hand, came to Sundance, blew us all away with her first feature Pariah, hooked up with Focus Features and now finds herself in a whirlwind of success. The movie, an intimate portrait of a high school lesbian living, struggling and surviving in New York City, takes a familiar environment and coming-of-age-tale, and carefully and gracefully executes to electrifying results. Some of that comes from Rees' own experiences, which she ingrained into her screenplay. Most of it is intelligent and riveting filmmaking choices—from photography to performance to editing.
I had a chance to chat with Rees on developing and directing Pariah, which is currently out in limited release:
I spoke to you back at Sundance and, since the movie debuted, so many amazing things have happened for you and the cast. What was your experience after the festival like?
Dee Rees: Some great things We've got a chance to connect with our audience. People are affirming that this tells their story. People are confirming that this is a universal story they are able to get to. It's about identity. We had a chance to screen for a lot of different audiences. People from all backgrounds are able to connect to the material and love the characters, and kind of see themselves at some point in the story.
We screened in Dallas, Texas for a predominantly straight white audience and they loved the film. We screened in Boston, Massachusetts. We screened in Atlanta, Georgia. We screened in DC. So, audiences—straight, gay, black, white—everybody has really responded to the film, and has really been able to connect to Alike's [the main character] journey.
The film was originally planned as a feature, and then you went backwards and adapted it as a short, and then you had to go forward again and readapt it into a feature. So how did the movie evolve over that time? What changed and what stayed the same?
DR: It began as a feature film. It was always conceived as a feature: one hundred and forty pages. A much bigger scope. Basically, I needed a thesis to graduate. So, I took the first act, and kind of changed some stuff around to make it stand as a short. The thing that changed is the depth of character. I was able to really understand Audrey more, understand Arthur more. That was the biggest thing that changed between the first draft and the tenth draft. The characters deepened and everybody became more well-rounded.
But it was always intended to be a feature piece. In some ways, it's actually harder to tell a short film. Because how do you, in a limited amount of time, develop these relationships and develop these characters? It was a pleasure and a relief to get back to the thing that the film was always supposed to be.
One of the main differences between the short and the feature is the expansions of Alike's family. Why did you decide to give them more time in her story?
DR: As a writer, I was challenged to spend time with Arthur [Charles Parnell] and Audrey [Kim Wayans] away from Alike. You know? Because nobody is the supporting character in somebody else's life. Everybody feels like they're the leading character in their own life. In that same way, I really had to spend time with Audrey at work. What does Audrey want? What does she feel? What is it that she's so disappointed about? The same thing with Arthur. What is his peer pressure like? What is his circle? Alike is not the only one having peer pressure. It was basically spending time with the characters away from Alike that allowed me to get inside them more.
One of the exercises I did, I wrote a monologue from each character's point of view. How would Audrey tell the story from beginning to end if she's talking to a coworker ten years from now? Same thing with Laura and Arthur. The biggest thing to help me with character development was by telling the story from each character's point of view. And through the exercise, you come up with anecdotes that may not necessarily go inside the script, but just give you perspective on who the characters are.
I've heard the movie is rooted in a good amount of truth, drawn from your own experiences. What aspects of the movie did you pull from your own life and what things did you still have to research to depict truthfully?
DR: I don't research as a writer, I just write. But there are autobiographical things. I came out at twenty-seven, and I'm from Nashville, Tennessee. From the suburbs, from Antioch. So obviously, growing up in Brooklyn in a brownstone isn't my experience. But a few of the things that I relate to Alike with…this struggle in realizing that there's a rendered gender identity.
When I first came out, I would go to clubs, and I realized that there's this very binary sexuality. Either butch or fem. You've got to be hard, or you've got to be soft. In that same way, Alike struggles to just be herself. She's being asked to check a box. Laura is pushing her to be this more butch person that she's not. Audrey is pushing her to be this more feminine person that she's not. She's somewhere in between Learning that's OK is something Alike goes through.
Also, the idea that your spirituality and your sexuality don't have to be mutually exclusive was something that I struggled with. When I first came out, I worried that God didn't love me anymore. Somehow, I had separated myself. I've realized that God still loved me and was with me. My spiritual resolve was what got me through the times where things were hard. That's what Alike realizes. Her mother tries to use that line, "God doesn't make mistakes," as a weapon. And then in the end, Alike turns it around and uses it as an affirmation. She is who she's supposed to be.
And finally, the third thing that was similar was the parental struggle. When I first came out, I was twenty-seven, not seventeen. So, I was living in New York City and paying my own bills. But still, my parents had a hard time accepting it. Having to draw a line in the sand, and having to explain that I was still the same person that I always was, and that I wasn't being influenced, and that I wasn't damaged in some way, and that my sexuality was not an effect and not a symptom of something. It was a long struggle. Things weren't the greatest between us for a couple years. We weren't really talking. Alike's parental struggle is dramatized differently. But you have to kind of stand up to the people who brought you into the world. Those kinds of themes were autobiographical, but the world was not. And the particular teenage experience was not.
Your actress who plays Alike, Adepero Oduye, is so brilliant, so natural, in the movie. How did you convey your vision and help her discover these ideas and events that were familiar to you?
DR: I like to talk a lot. So we'd talk a lot about the character, and about the world and my experiences. I like to work in exercises, also. Rather than line readings, I had Adepero and Pernell Walker (who plays Alike's friend Laura) go in costume to Dave and Busters Times Square, so they could feel what it's like to be a masculine-identified woman in a straight environment. How do people look at you on the train ride over? How to people look at you in the restaurant? How do people not look at you, and kind of avoid eye contact? So they could feel what it's like to be in these characters' shoes. What it's like to be a masculine-identified lesbian woman in a straight world. And I'd have them go off in costume to a lesbian club, so they could feel like what it's like to be a masculine-identified woman in a lesbian environment.
For Pernell, she was very comfortable with that. She was dancing with three girls, getting phone numbers, taking pictures. Totally the bell of the ball. And then for Adepero who plays Alike, she wasn't quite sitting right in her clothes and her own skin. She wasn't comfortable, and was a total wallflower. She would not try to dance or talk to people. That was the best way to kind of thrust them into the experience, to walk in the characters shoes and…experience different worlds. Because theirs is kind of a dual consciousness that exists. They have to be able to feel that, and to bring that experience to the roles.
For the family, I had a psychotherapist come in and do a mock therapy session. Put them on the couch—they had talking points. Things they wanted to avoid, things they wanted to discuss. And I would often make those points at odd with what someone did not want to talk about. And by sitting on the couch with the family, they feel the dysfunction. They know what this family is about—versus just reading lines. Those are the kinds of exercises I like to do to get the [actors] into the roles, into the minds of the characters. For the love relationship, I got to workshop Alike and Bina. At the Sundance lab, they're homework assignment was to ride a ski lift together. The perfect awkward first date. We'd come up with inspirational things I could do so they could create the shared history together and bring that to set.
Was Adepero the first person you found? Kind of the lynchpin? Or was there another actress?
DR: Adepero was the first one. She actually came to us while we were auditioning for the short. And she literally came in the first audition. It was like, 'Oh my God! How did our lead walk in the first day?' But she was really un-self-conscious. She completely vanished inside the character and was Alike one hundred percent. Who she is on screen is not who she is in person. I have to keep reminding people it's not a documentary.
Oddly, that can be hard for some people to wrap their minds around. 'It's not truth.'
DR: Yeah, definitely! Exactly. She's really acting. And she's not seventeen, she's thirty-three…she's really putting on a huge performance here.
When you brought Adepero on, since she was there from the beginning, did you cast everyone else against her? She's kind of your companion in this process.
DR: I did, yeah. When we were trying to find Laura, I tested a couple of actresses against her. It was important that the actresses be good on their own, but it was important that they had good chemistry with her and that I could believe that they were friends. So as we were trying to find Laura, we'd bring in actresses to read with her as Laura. Even when we were trying to find Arthur, we'd bring them in to read against her. So I definitely cast people against her, because she was the lead. She was the anchor. I wanted to put together a really great ensemble cast, and the chemistry had to be right between everybody.
A lot of people are talking about Kim Wayans in this movie,as the role is a real departure for her. But what was it about her specifically that worked for you? What does she bring to the table?
DR: What's so special about Kim is that she brought the loneliness and the vulnerability that was Audrey's core. We read a lot of actresses and had a tough time finding Audrey, because everybody kept playing the anger. They could give me a stereotype. They could give me the angry black mama thing. Kim was the only actress that got Audrey's loneliness and her vulnerability. She's the only one who really saw who Audrey was. Kim walked in the room and showed us an Audrey we'd never seen before. She was another one—on the first audition, we knew that she was the one that captured it. She brings this sensitivity and this nuance to the role that I think is amazing.
Just to wrap up here, when I was talking to you back at Sundance, you were developing a TV show called The Ville….
DR: Yep!
But you've been rounding up a ton of other projects since, including something with Viola Davis. What's next for you?
DR: The Ville is an original TV series. We just sold it to a network, so we're in negotiations now. We hope we'll be able to turn out something in January. The [project] with Viola Davis is a TV series for HBO. And then for Focus, I wrote a feature called Bolo, set in the South. I'm excited about it. It's also original. And then, also another original screenplay outside of that called Large Print. That's an original spec screenplay. Two features and two TV shows later, I'm just continuing to try to create socially conscious, meaningful work that gives us insight into worlds and characters that we haven't seen before.

International media watchdog groups called Wednesday for the release of a freelance journalist jailed in northern Iraq for violating a public decency law by writing a story about homosexuality.
Adel Hussein was sentenced Nov. 24 to six months in jail by a court in Irbil, capital of the Kurdish-ruled region of northern Iraq, according to the Committee To Protect Journalists and Reporters Without Borders.
Hussein also was ordered to pay a fine of about $106, the organizations said. He is being held at Mahata prison in Irbil, about 220 miles north of Baghdad.
"We are astonished to learn that a press case has been tried under the criminal code. What was the point of adopting – and then liberalizing – a press code in the Kurdistan region if people who contribute to the news media are still be tried under more repressive laws," Reporters Without Borders said in a statement.
The case centers on an April 2007 article Hussein wrote for the independent weekly Hawlati that detailed the physical effects of homosexual sex, the organizations said.
The sentence handed down by the Kurdish court was based on an outdated 1969 Iraqi penal code, said Luqman Malazadah, Hussein's lawyer. Malazadah told CPJ he has appealed the court decision.
A new law that took effect in October does not recognize a violation of "public custom," also known as public decency, as an offense, CPJ said.
Under the new law, a representative of the region's Journalist Syndicate must attend a journalist's trial, but Fatih told CPJ no representative attended Hussein's trial.
Irbil's public prosecutor also has filed a lawsuit against Hussein, the magazine's former chief editor Adnan Osman, and the publisher, Tareq Fateh, according to Reporters Without Borders.
"What was written by the detained journalist was a scientific article and it was not aimed at encouraging homosexuality," said Kamal Raouf, editor of Hawlati. "The article showed the positive and the negative aspects of homosexuality, but the court looked into one angle and it considered the subject as unethical."
Raouf called the verdict a "blow to the freedom in Kurdistan," saying it was an attempt to "silence the journalists and writers."
The Kurdistan Journalist Union condemned the verdict.
"We will appeal this unjust verdict and we hope that Kurdistan officials intervene and solve the problem," said Zirak Kamal, a spokesman for the Kurdish journalist group.

Twins pitcher explains why he kept the body part doctors removed during surgery
Phil Hughes lost seven games and four months of the 2016 season, along with a rib. Well, he hasn't exactly lost the rib.
The Twins' right-hander had surgery in July after being diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome. It's a procedure that involves the removal of a rib in order to take pressure off of the nerves in the shoulder. But what makes this particular case so odd is that Hughes kept the rib.
"Anybody would ask to keep it, right?" Hughes said, according to MLB.com. "If they're going to take a bone out of my body, I'm going to want it …
"I was woozy and about to be wheeled in [to surgery], and I asked the doctor if I could keep it, and he said, 'Technically not,'" Hughes said. "But when I came out of surgery, my wife said they gave it to me."
The obvious question is what a person does with such a souvenir. Put it on the mantle? Display it in a trophy case? Chase family members and neighbors with it?
"It's in a little jar of fluid," Hughes told MLB.com. "I don't know what I want to do with it. I'm throwing around some ideas. We'll see."
2 things I definitely didn't foresee myself making headlines for: Adele jokes and making a rib into bling
— Phil Hughes (@PJHughes45) February 15, 2017
Hughes, whose last appearance of the 2016 season came in relief on June 9, is healthy and throwing in the Twins' Grapefruit League camp. No word on whether the he packed the rib.

The dollar fell against the euro and yen on Wednesday after major emerging economies cast doubt on its long-term future as the world's main reserve currency, dealers said.
In late morning trading in London, the European single currency climbed to 1.3867 dollars from 1.3838 dollars in New York late on Tuesday.
Against the Japanese currency, the dollar slipped to 96.30 yen from 96.42 yen on Tuesday.
Leaders of the so-called BRIC nations — Brazil, Russia, India and China — had on Monday called for a "more diversified" currency system.
"The BRIC leaders are divided between supporting the US dollar — as it is the only choice for now — and advancing the march for an alternative," said Phil McHugh, who heads the corporate foreign exchange desk at currenciesdirect.com.
"The (BRIC) meeting… will affect future sentiment on the dollar," he added.

Getting stuff free or almost free
I confuse myself I guess I don't understand how people get items free or almost free by not using multiple coupons on one item I really wanna stockpile but no one just straight tells you how to do it they just give clues help?
|The Following 6 Users Say Thank You to missee For This Useful Post:
Well you combine coupons, sales, store promos, and rewards to get free items with coupons. Alot of times your not getting stuff directly free from a coupon but rather combining that coupon with store rewards or Catalina deals to make it free.
|The Following 6 Users Say Thank You to redraider25 For This Useful Post:
Also, some stores doubles your coupon. This depends on the store and where you live.
Happy Coupon'ing!!
Just me, Bunnie married to my Best friend & Soul-mate and momma to Brigit (aka Briggie or Princess Briggie), my fur-baby Bunnie!
|The Following 4 Users Say Thank You to BunnieMommie For This Useful Post:
there are one or two products, or more, each week that are cheap or free.
For example, this week my Meijers grocery has Smart Balance butter on sale 99 cents. Use a .50/1 coupon for 49 cent butter! Stockpile price. I live in the land of doubles up to 50 cents, so free butter fro me.
also this week, Kroger has Steamfresh vegetables $1 each bag. Use .50/2 coupon and score frozen veggie for 50 cents. stock pile price again.
Then the Libbys can veggies are $1/2 at Dollar General. Price match at Walmart, use $1/4 coupon
and pay .25 cents a can of veggies.
Hope this helps. Look for/ google the matchups aka coupon matchups for your favorite stores.
Shhhh! Be va-wee, va-wee quiet. Dee is shopping for bargains!

I went to Giant the other week with the intention of getting some awesome deals on dog food and treats. I brought my coupon box, and lo and behold Maruchan Yakisoba Noodle packs were on sale for $0.50.
This was amazing because I had something like 20 coupons for $0.50 off one Yakisoba product, and because my Giant will double the 1st coupon, I got 21 packages of those noodles FOR FREE.
That was a HUGE score for me, and had it not been the end of the week, I would have ordered WAY more from Dede and gotten as many as I could, but I was too late.
Become familiar with what your stores sell, too. I frequent Dollar General as well, and when they do their $5/$25 I make out like a bandit. I get $25 worth of product for under $5 a lot of the time. Husband says it's an art
Use these forums as tools, build a healthy supply of qs, and the free items will come. They aren't as frequent for me, honestly. I'm a big one for getting like $200 worth of groceries and spending $50. Sure, I have an out of pocket expense, but seriously? I saved $150? That's awesome!
If you have any questions, any of us would be glad to help! Feel free to PM me with anything

This was my first time using an online unlocking service so I was a little apprehensive that i was going to get defrauded online. My experience ended up being very good instead!! I accidentally paid for the unlock twice, but they were the ones to catch it an issued me a refund immediately for the second duplicate order.
Then I got my unlock code first thing this morning and it WORKS!!!
Very satisfied customer :)

HART communicator platform adds trending capabilities
ProComSol upgrades DevCom2000 software so it can trend any parameter from a field device transmitter.
ProComSol, Ltd has released rev. 4.7 of its DevCom2000 Smart Device Communicator Software for HART instrumentation. This revision adds a trending feature which allows users to trend the parameters of HART devices. According to Jeffrey Dobos, president of ProComSol, "The new trending feature will enable users to trend process variables as well as any other parameter associated with the device. This feature will provide valuable information to users as they configure or troubleshoot the performance of transmitters and control valves."
Other improvements in the new revision include the ability to add additional DD's (device descriptors) to the software and improved multi-drop configuration capability. The DevCom2000 software comes pre-loaded with all of the DD's currently registered with the HART Communication Foundation. This enables users to deploy the system right out of the box without the need to download DD's from various instrumentation suppliers. Devices that are registered in the HART catalog after the software is purchased can be added as necessary.
The improved multi-drop capability is important for users employing some of the new WirelessHART adapters on the market. Many of these adapters support transmitters in a multi-drop configuration in order to make the installation more economical. The improved multi-drop capability makes it easy to configure the WirelessHART adapters and associated transmitters.

Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Rays manager Joe Maddon kept summoning relievers, moved to full mad-scientist mode by inspiration, desperation and elimination.
Jeremy Hellickson is Maddon's Phil Hughes. Not to be trusted. He had a 5.17 ERA during the regular season and was only starting Tuesday's Game 4 because rookie Chris Archer had run out of gas. But Maddon's leash was going to be short.
In his imagination, Hellickson would face 12 batters and be removed before facing David Ortiz a second time in what Maddon hoped would be the third inning. But Hellickson lasted just six batters, loading the bases with no outs in the second and that set off a chain reaction in which he ultimately used nine relievers — a record for a nine-inning playoff game.
That wasn't even the most bizarre part. That would be the identity of pitcher No. 10. The game concluded with David Price warming. Yep, if Tampa Bay had forced extra innings, its Game 5 starter Thursday was coming on in relief past midnight on Tuesday.
"I don't know who would have started Game 5," Maddon said. "But you can't play Game 5, unless you win Game 4."
There will be no Game 5. Maybe no more Price in Tampa any longer either. He will be on the trade block in an offseason that has now begun for the Rays.
Boston with its relentless offense won 3-1 — the Red Sox drew eight walks and made those nine Tampa Bay hurlers throw 163 pitches. Boston will face the winner of Oakland-Detroit in the ALCS.
Yet what will be remembered most from Boston's clinch was how close it came to not happening in Game 4. How close what Red Sox reliever Craig Breslow described as the Rays' "army of guys" nearly tag-teamed a victory one pitching change at a time.
"I really thought we can do 1-0," Maddon said. "I really did."
Hellickson, Jamey Wright, Game 1 starter Matt Moore and Alex Torres combined for six shutout innings, and Tampa Bay broke through with a run in the bottom of the sixth. The Rays were nine outs away from making this crazy mosaic work. But Jake McGee put two men on in the seventh before Joel Peralta — with some irony for this night, because he was the most used reliever in the majors this year — threw a run-scoring wild pitch with his first offering and yielded an RBI infield single with his third.
To try to keep the deficit at 2-1, Maddon called on his closer, Fernando Rodney, to pitch the ninth. But Rodney walked two, hit one, loaded the bases and was booed off the field. But what this did was force Maddon to bring the pitcher he had been saving for long relief and extra innings, Archer, into the game to yield a Dustin Pedroia sacrifice fly. Then with the lefty force Ortiz due and not wanting to fall behind any further, Maddon called on his last relief arm, southpaw Wesley Wright, to be pitcher No. 9.
This is why Price began to warm as Boston closer Koji Uehara was going 1-2-3 in the ninth. Maddon knew that meant Game 5 — if there would be one — "would have looked a lot like Game 4," another procession of relievers from this baseball mad scientist. He would have had to start one, likely Wright.
"The way it was working at the beginning there [with Hellickson failing], I could see it was just not going to work and we had to do something differently," Maddon said. "We became a little bit more extemporaneous at that point."
Extemporaneous nearly worked. But didn't. Nine was not enough, and the Rays never got to 10 at 10 — Price in extra innings. Their season and perhaps Price's Tampa Bay career concluded with the bizarre sight of him warming up in the bullpen.
"It was an interesting game," Maddon said.
Inspiration. Desperation. Elimination.

Amanda Bynes Needs To Re-Hire Her Publicist So She Can Take Away Her Twitter Account
Another day, another insane tweet from Amanda Bynes. But while most of her insane tweets make me feel bad for her, this latest exercise in bad PR could make more than a few people think she's a jerk.
Earlier today, Amanda tweeted a photo of Jay-Z, alongside the caption "ugly face." It has since been deleted, but here is a screenshot:
It was directed at a user named "@S_C," who appears to be a pile of salmon roe who writes only in Japanese. Typical Bynes.
This seems like it was somewhat un-called for, as I'm not sure what Jay-Z ever did to her. Sure, he might not be as pretty, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I'd say Beyonce is one damn impressive beholder. And anyway, looks aren't everything…shall we line up their accomplishments next to each other and see who is better at life? Jay-Z has 14 Grammys, a multi-million dollar empire, and a genetically superior superbaby named Blue Ivy. Amanda Bynes has an itchy Twitter finger, a tube of black Wet 'n Wild lipstick, and a talent for getting kicked out of spin class.
Of course, this might not be a dig on Jay-Z at all, but merely part of the secret language she uses to communicate with the pile of Japanese salmon roe. But just to be safe, I suggest Amanda coax her publicist to come back so she can take her Twitter away, because there's a fine line between "crazy person we should pity" and "crazy person we find obnoxious," and she may have just crossed it.

Fewer Americans and fewer Georgians are getting health insurance through their employers, and those who do are paying a lot more, according to a study released Tuesday from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
A separate report released simultaneously from the Urban Institute said that provisions in the Affordable Care Act should help smaller employers offer health insurance but that advocates were split on whether it really would work.
Looking at two-year averages, the foundation reported that since 1999-2000, the percentage of people getting employer-sponsored insurance in 2008-09 declined by 9.5 percentage points in Georgia, from 69.3 to 59.8, compared with a drop of 8 points nationally, from 69.4 to 61.4 percent. Premiums over that same period in Georgia skyrocketed by 79 percent for individuals and 75 percent for families, compared to 82 percent and 75 percent nationally, according to the report.
Those numbers were not surprising to Holly Lang, the director of the Hospital Accountability Project for consumer group Georgia Watch, particularly in light of the recession.
"We had it a little bit worse than the national average," she said. "Inevitably, folks are going to look to scale back costs and to do whatever they can to save money. So unfortunately, one of those things to go we've seen has been health insurance offered by the employer."
Virginia Galloway, the state director for Americans for Prosperity Georgia, called the decline troubling.
"Employers continue to drop coverage as health care costs sky-rocket," she said.
That could force people into buying their own insurance, and they find that they probably can't afford it or won't be offered it because of pre-existing conditions, which won't be addressed for adults by the Affordable Care Act until 2014, Lang said.
A federally created health insurance for those with pre-existing conditions recently dropped its premiums by 15.5 percent but about a month ago only 515 people in Georgia had signed up, Lang said. She estimated that perhaps 100,000 to 200,000 people in Georgia would be eligible and are likely the working poor who wouldn't qualify for other programs.
"What it does is just leave uninsured patients who are going to be reliant on hospital indigent/charity care programs or the use of local clinics or, unfortunately for many, just not seeking care at all," Lang said. "And that's where we become very concerned."
That delay in care often results in more advanced disease, "which is expensive to the patient, it is expensive to the hospital, it is expensive to everyone," she said.
The analysis by the Urban Institute points to tax breaks through the Affordable Care Act, some of which took effect in 2010, that should make it easier for those smaller employers, who traditionally struggle to offer health insurance. Those with fewer than 50 employees could see their costs decrease by 12 percent, the report estimated. When fully implemented, the reforms will slightly increase health insurance costs for those firms with 50-99 employees -- by 1.2 percent -- but the report expects insurance rates for those employers to remain relatively stable.
Galloway, however, said the reforms are "not the solution":
"The Congressional Budget Office itself estimates at least 10 million to 12 million workers will lose their employer-sponsored insurance starting in 2014. Many will be shifted into Medicaid."
In testimony before Congress on March 30, the Congressional Budget Office actually estimated that 1 million fewer people would get employer-sponsored insurance, beginning in 2018, with 16 million more people covered by an expanded Medicaid and Children's Health Insurance programs and 23 million purchasing insurance through the Insurance Exchanges. The uninsured were decreased by 33 million.
"Individuals and employers want choices, not federal mandates, to control rising costs," Galloway said.
Lang said it is a shame the issue has become so politicized because many have not taken the time to see what is actually beneficial to them in the new law.
"We strongly feel that if folks were more aware of how they could benefit from this and were able to push political leanings aside and just take advantage of what is a pretty good deal for folks, they would benefit more," she said.

The team that advanced to the regional finals last season is in danger of not making it at all this year. The Golden Eagles finished the 2013 regular season 17-14 and 9-9 in conference, including three straight losses to end the year.
The last two were especially painful in double overtime. Coach Buzz Williams says those close calls show the character of his players.
Marquette was the preseason Big East favorite. Williams figures the team probably has to win the league tournament to get back to the NCAA tournament.

A good and bad forum post
Mike blogged about how to write a
good bad post on the ASP.NET Forum, it's VERY true and I 100% agree with him:
- Write a useless title. Create a title that says nothing about your question. The best possible title is "Help!" so that people looking through the new postings will understand that you need assistance, unlike everyone else who's also posted a question. Corollary The title "Help!!!" instead of "Help!" shows that your post is three times as urgent.
- Do no research. Although there are 500,000 posts on the asp.net forum, no one has ever had the same question as you.
- Ignore the FAQs. Ditto.
- Don't use Google. Ditto.
- Blame the software. The likeliest explanation for your problem is that ASP.NET has a bug, or .NET, or even Windows. After all, that explains most problems that people have. So when you post your problem, be sure to note that this seems like a bug to you.
- Post a 300-line example. People who answer questions on the forum clearly have nothing to do. So they'll be happy to parse your enormous example to see if they can spot that elusive problem.
- Let someone else devise a repro case. When the button click handler isn't called in your sample, by no means should you try to create a smaller repro case. All you know is that your sample doesn't run.
- Post a sample that depends on a resource you don't describe. Be sure your sample reads from your production database. Don't worry, people will figure out your schema.
- Don't format your code. Indentation is overrated.
- Use a single run-on sentence to describe your problem. You're in a hurry, after all, so who's got time to describe the problem carefully? PS How long does it take to get an answer on this forum, anyway?
- Sprinkle your post with typos. People who get distracted trying to figure out what you're saying aren't real programmers.
- If people don't seem to get your problem, get mad at them. "Ok, let me explain my problem again, you dummies. There, understand? Now, where's my answer?"
- Post in the wrong forum. Post your question in the FAQ forum. After all, it kind of relates to something that it says in one of the FAQs. Or post everything in the Getting Started forum, what the hell.
- Complain about the product. Ask people what's so great about this product, anyway? "In PHP I could do this in three lines, ya know. But my stupid boss is making me use ASP.NET. So how do you this in your stupid language?" Corollary When people jump through hoops to get you an answer, tell them "That's ok, I decided to go back to PHP."
- Keep posting new questions to the same thread. Hey, people really jumped on that first question, so why not ask some more, now that you've found some people who will answer?
Moreover, reply with a simple word like "Yeah!" or "It works!" if the problem had been solved, as it's the most warmest gift for the answerer and share/beneficial to other forum readers. :)

Todd J.wrote a question about MontBell U.L. Super Stretch Hugger #3 Sleeping Bag: 30 Degree Down on May 8, 2008
I'm considering buying the MontBell U.L....
I'm considering buying the MontBell U.L. Super Stretch Hugger #3 but wondering about the size. It seems every other bag a regular size fits a six foot person. MontBell's bags say 5'10'' for the regular. I'm a bit under 6 foot and have always fit fine in a regular size bag. so I'm wondering if anyone knows if I would need the long size or not.

Brewers' Gamel tears ACL again, out for season
PHOENIX Milwaukee Brewers first baseman Mat Gamel has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee for the second time in less than a year and will miss the season.
The 27-year-old was injured May 1 at San Diego when he hit a wall while chasing Nick Hundley�s foul popup, cutting short his season after 21 games. Gamel reinjured the knee Saturday during Milwaukee�s first full-squad workout this year.
�It really surprised me because there was no really major event that happened that you would have thought that would have been that serious,� Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. �I figured, OK, he tweaks it. Coming back after a rehab you figure it is not always going to go smooth. I figured a couple of days and he�d be back on the field.�
An MRI Sunday revealed the extent of the injury.
�It�s a tear of the middle portion of the repair, �There are failures � 10 percent seems to be the historical number. But of those failures, they�re mostly at either end� of the ligament.
Ash said Gamel�s knee checked out fine in late January in Milwaukee and again during a spring training physical on Feb. 12.
Corey Hart, who moved to first base after Gamel�s injury last year, is on crutches after right knee surgery on Jan. 25 and is expected to be out three-to-four months.
Roenicke said candidates to play first until Hart returns include Alex Gonzalez, Hunter Morris, Bobby Crosby, Taylor Green and Sean Halton.
�We�ll look at all the guys we have in camp here,� general manager Doug Melvin said. �We�ll look internally.�
Gonzalez has never played first in his 14 years in the majors and does not have a first base glove, so he borrowed one.
�Ron talked to me about it, but it�s not sure yet,� Gonzalez said. �I don�t want to tell you, �Yeah, I�m going to be the everyday first baseman.� I�m just going to wait and see what happens and make a decision.�
Crosby, the 2004 AL Rookie of the Year, has not played the past two seasons and has only 31 games at first in the major leagues.
Morris was the Brewers� minor league player of the year last season, hitting .303 with 28 home runs and 113 RBIs with Huntsville. He has never played above Double-A.
�It�s a big jump,� Morris said. �Us talking about it doesn�t mean I�m going to get the job. I�ve got to earn it. I�ve got to do a lot of things extraordinary. I feel terrible for Mat. Opportunities like this rise all the time in this game. It�s up to me to take advantage of it.
Green played 18 games at first base last season with Milwaukee but hit only .184 in 104 at-bats. Hatton batted .274 with 17 home runs and 57 RBIs last season with Triple-A Nashville.
�I think we can cover it with people we have in-house,� Roenicke said. �But that�s not to say that Doug isn�t already thinking about it and looking, because you can�t predict exactly when Corey�s coming back.
No surgery date has been scheduled yet for Gamel.
�He was pretty good when I talked to him earlier today, but it has to crush you,� Roenicke said. �You go through a long rehab period, which isn�t fun. It�s lonely, it�s hard work, boring at times, and now to think you have to go through it all again, it�s pretty rough.�
Gamel has been restricted to 106 games in the majors since his debut in 2008, mostly because of injuries, including a torn muscle in his right shoulder in March 2010 and a strained his right oblique in February 2011.
�Clearly it�s a setback,� Ash said. �It�s a tough thing just as much mentally as physically for a guy that�s spent eight months rehabbing and all of a sudden be told he�ll have to start over again. ... He does have time on his side, but clearly missing that much repetition in games is going to hurt him.�

Being an avid iPhone owner since the dawn of apple, i never looked anywhere else when it came to upgrading my phone, however i found myself browsing the array of different phones after owning the iPhone 4. In the space of a year my iPhone required replacement over 10 times and I'd had enough. So browsing the aisles I found HTC to be a reliable brand and this was there latest and most eye-catching phone so I signed up and got it, ever since I have been pleasantly surprised and pleased.
It has everything you could ask for as a phone, great messaging, e-mail, internet, an amazing camera and the addition of the android apps available, making the transition from the iPhone that bit easier.
Its a sturdy brick phone with a large bright screen which features a new type of glass to aid in scratch resistancy- not a single scratch yet (: Its 4.7 inch screen is big enough to get the most from this phone but not too big to make it uncomfortable to hold or slip into my jeans pocket (just about) unlike its cousin the Galaxy Note, which is far too big. In a cool grey colour, it doesnt scream look at me but stays classy and smart enough to be appealing. Overall, a very attractive phone for people of all stereotypes.
Just as it has been advertised, its performance is one of the best I have seen for an android phone, fast and effective at all angles. For messaging and e-mail, it surpases the iPhone for me as i find it faster and easier to edit and send messages in any format, its multiple screens also allows for quick look/updates on my messages at a glance. App wise it's on par with other androids and even the iPhone as the play store allows you easy download of a various assortment of games and helpful apps. This download is fast and can be done at a click of a button, not all this fuss of connecting to iTunes. Although you don't have to constantly sync the phone to your iTunes account, i found that i missed the music side of the iPhone as downloading music onto this phone is a little tedious- play store have created an app which easier (aka more like iTunes) connection, Doubletwist.
The touch screen is very well made too- still as responsive and fast as when i bought it. Basically it's performance is up there with the best makes of phone and really enhance the overall experience.
Not much needs to be said about the camera as it is great- simply great. Capturing fantastic pictures fast and at the click of a button is what this phone excells in- no rubbish quaility iPhone snaps here- pictures that rival those captured on my own proffesional camera- overall a great addition to this already fantastic phone.
Basically I've been converted, an iPhone lover has been transformed by this phone and Im not going back (:
A great phone. Simple

Edit Article
wikiHow to Choose Database Software
A database is a structured system for collecting, retrieving and displaying information. It includes records for each entry, and fields within each record to define information like names, addresses, and other identifying information. Many databases are based on SQL, or Structured Query Language, which is a programming language used to create relational databases. A database is useful for automating and simplifying many business functions. The size and complexity of the database program you choose depends on your present and future needs. Learn how to choose database software to find a system that easily meets your specifications and needs.
1Determine what you want the database to do. Base your decision on how the software meets the needs of your organization, rather than familiarity with the platform that the program is developed in.
2Make sure the database is large enough with room for growth. Most likely, multiple users will need access to the database at the same time, so the database should support multiple users. Even if you start with a single user, plan for growth of your organization, and expect others to need access to data.
3Decide between custom and off-the-shelf database software. Microsoft Access and SQL server are some common packages that are easy to use for building a simple database. If you need more advanced designs, it may be better to purchase a system that contains most of the features you need and have it customized, rather than build a custom application.
4Take the time to research all options. While it can be overwhelming and time consuming to examine products in detail, it can take much longer to try to get a database to work if it just doesn't meet your needs.
5Consider web enabled options. Databases hosted on an Internet site have a smaller footprint, without the need for a server and related expenses like support and backup.
6Include free database software in your investigation of how to choose database software. Simple programs like MySQL are free, or very inexpensive, and are useful for many small applications. They can be customized while still saving on overall expense.
7Think about who will be using the database software. It should be simple enough for the most inexperienced user, with features to ensure that data is entered correctly and checked for errors. Ideally, the database should offer the ability to customize interfaces for power users and administrators.
8Look for security features. Any database that stores private information should be protected from intruders. Companies that collect credit card information are required to encrypt data stored in databases and meet other requirements.
9Find out whether you need a non-relational database. Most database platforms are relational databases that that use structure or schema, based on tables and fields that relate to each other and include common elements. Non-relational databases are useful for capturing values from non-standard elements like web content, emails and documents.
10Spend some time learning the basics of databases. Knowing the lingo will make it easier to communicate with vendors and compare options. Get to understand the types of databases and platforms, including Microsoft Access and SQL server as well as free database options.

(CNN) -- Hope for Parkinson's patients: 5 studies you may have missed
Here's a roundup of five medical studies published this week that can give you new insights into your health, mind and body. Remember, correlation is not causation -- so if a study finds a connection between two things, it doesn't mean that one causes the other.
Hope for people with Parkinson's
Journal: Cell Reports
Scientists at Harvard University say they see promising signs from their study on an experimental treatment for Parkinson's disease. The researchers transplanted tissue from fetal dopamine cells into the brains of patients with Parkinson's in Canada.
Patients with severe symptoms experienced 50% fewer symptoms in the years after surgery. People who had been taking medication to control their Parkinson's but found that the medicine no longer worked also saw significant improvements after surgery.
Looking at the brains of five patients after they died from non-Parkinson's related illnesses, the scientists found that the transplanted cells stayed healthy. Earlier research led scientists to hypothesize that the cells would become corrupted, but the cells remained functional for at least 14 years after the patients got them. This is the first proof that this kind of transplant method could work.
"Though it is encouraging and even exciting to see some PD cells survive over a decade following a human transplant, we are still humbled by the challenges in developing a viable therapy," Dr. Michael Okun, national medical director for the National Parkinson Foundation, cautioned. "All transplants for Parkinson's disease remain hampered by an inability to constitute a complex multilevel brain circuitry."
Next, researchers will see whether they can replicate the success of this procedure using stem cells instead of the more controversial fetal cells.
To lose weight, stop counting calories
Journal: JAMA
The key to losing weight is not about "dietary bookkeeping" - meaning you can't merely eat less and exercise more. "Most people will lose that battle," write Dr. David Ludwig and Mark Friedman in the latest edition of JAMA.
The two world-renowned obesity experts say that effective weight loss should be more about what you eat. That is because different food interacts differently with your body.
A real diet should not focus solely on how much fat or how many calories are in that food, the experts say. For instance, nuts are good for you despite their high calorie and fat content. But an ice cream sandwich is not. It may be low in calories, but it also has a significant number of refined carbohydrates, which will cause your insulin level to spike.
Because of the way insulin impacts you at your cellular level, fat cells will absorb the calories. But there aren't enough nutrients in that ice cream sandwich to give your body the energy it needs, so your body craves more food, thinking it is still hungry.
The munchies and sleepless nights: Marijuana may hurt your sleep
Journal: Sleep
Often people will say they smoke pot to relax, but a new study found that most marijuana users have trouble getting a good night's sleep.
The study comes from researchers at the University of Pennsylvania who looked at the drug history of 1,811 participants who responded to the 2007-2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The adults were from 20 to 58.
All marijuana users reported increased problems with sleeping through the night, feeling sleepy during the day and had trouble falling asleep.
Marijuana users who started using before age 15 had the most trouble. They were twice as likely to be sleep deprived as the others.
Heart-stopping pollution: What bad air might do to you
Journal: Heart
Pollution can create more than a bad asthma day for people who live in smoggy areas.
In a new study, scientists looked at data that tracked hospital admissions in Wales and England from 2003 to 2009. They combined data on people who had heart attacks or strokes, and death data, with data collected on pollution.
The good news is there is no evidence that short-term exposure to air pollution increases your risk for a heart attack or stroke. Nor was there a clear link between pollution and cardiac deaths with one exception: Deaths because of irregular heartbeats and blood clots in the lungs did go up with high pollution.
Scientists also found more people were admitted to the hospital on days there were high levels of nitrogen in the air.
E-cigarettes send an increased number of callers to poison hotlines
Journal: JAMA
Poison centers are getting busier as more people use e-cigarettes.
Public health investigators compared data from poison centers around the country from September 2010 and February 2014. What they found was more calls about e-cigarette exposure; these e-cigarette-related problems made up about 41% of the calls.
The majority of the calls about regular cigarettes involved kids younger than 5. The e-cigarette calls were split between children and adults.
Most callers had questions about exposure to the e-cigarette from inhaling it or having the chemical come into contact with a person's eyes or skin. About 58% of the callers had a bad reaction, compared with 36% of those exposed to regular cigarettes.
People who didn't feel well after exposure to electronic cigarettes reported problems with eye irritation, vomiting and nausea.

Windows 7 Home Premium v6.1 (Build 7600) 32-bit
BIOS: Dell Studio 1535 A06 Installation Hangs
PROBLEM: Dell BIOS 1535_A06.EXE update utility hangs during BIOS flash process.
1. Open Dell BIOS 1535_A06.EXE update utility from saved location on desktop by right-clicking and running as Administrator.
2. Click [Continue] button on "Dell BIOS Flash" update utility dialogue box asking "Replace 'A05' BIOS with 'A06' BIOS?"
3. Click [Okay] in Shutdown Confirmation dialog box.
4. Computer shuts down, like normal ("Logging off..." screen, then "Shutting down..." screen).
5. Instead of powering down, the computer "hangs"--still powered on (exhaust fan and Media Strip buttons active, power button light on). The computer NEVER finishes the shutdown process and powers off.
If I force-shutdown the computer (hold the power button down for 5 seconds), the computer powers down, but when I restart it (push power button, wait for POST), the BIOS load screen still says Dell BIOS A05 under the POST test status bar.
In other words, because of this weird hang-up (not finishing the shutdown and hanging in a full-powered mode), the BIOS updated never activates.
This "hanging" issue also happens any time the computer automatically restarts itself, whether by command (choosing "Restart" from the Windows menu), or through a system process (installing new software that automatically calls the system into restart mode. EVERY TIME, it will hang in this weird powered-but-useless mode, never fully powering off.
I have disabled device drivers (some have said that the webcam driver plays havoc with driver update issues, so that device has been disabled). Others have said that the Roxio EasyCD software is a known culprit. However, it's been uninstalled and deleted from my system (as I HATE Roxio's products and have absolutely no use for the software).
So...what in the world is causing this? It's very frustrating, to say the least! I just want to update to A06, because I'm having so many BIOS problems under A05 (Media Strip "Eject CD" and "Volume Up" buttons freezing "on", exhaust fan going full RPM for no apparent reason--even with CPU temperature at 25C or less, DVDs not being recognized, or ejected...etc., etc.), all of which have been pointed to being known problems with Dell's shoddy A05 BIOS.
Just...I can't seem to get the darn thing to properly shutdown, so that the BIOS updater can flash the ROM!
Thanks, in advance.

Fix for media strip buttons on dell studio 1535
To fix media strip buttons (touch sensitive) you should do firmware upgrade "FW7_X0D" which can be found and read about in detail here:
How to fix the media control panel on a Dell Studio 1535/1536/1537 - Neowin Forums
I hope this helps at least one related issue you're having.
Note: Upgrading from A05 to A06 DOES NOT solve the media strip buttons problem, only the firmware supplied above does. Good luck!!! (I personally struggled with the media control buttons issue for months before stumbling upon the solution which worked like a charm!)

MIDDLEBURY, Conn., Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Police in Connecticut said they shut down an electronic dance music show at Quassy Amusement Park after four people were hospitalized for suspected overdoses.
A total of seven people were treated Saturday for the suspected drug overdose of 2CP, a powerful hallucinogenic, The Hartford (Conn.) Courant reported Sunday.
Four people became seriously ill simultaneously at around 10:30 p.m. after the start of the show, dubbed "Adventure Land" in Middlebury, Conn. One male teenager was found to be without breath or a pulse.
Police arrested a New Milford Man, Kyle Stoddard, 30, for allegedly interfering with a officer while authorities were trying to treat the victims.
The concert featured musical acts by Nicky Twist, Midas and DJ Knowledge, the Courant reported. The show was organized by Tight Crew, a production company in Rhode Island.
"We have a strict zero tolerance policy towards drug use and violence. We want everyone to have a fun/safe experience at each event," Tight Crew's website said.
"We carefully scrutinized the history of the production firm, and indications were the company had presented numerous similar events without incident," the amusement park said in a statement. "The park is grateful for the Middlebury police and the emergency responders for the handling of this incident."
