The Basics of Visual Basic
This is a beginners VB tutorial that is aimed at someone who has no prior experience in programming. This tutorial will cover basic programming principles such as variables, conditionals, loops, etc. It will also describe VB-specific things such as forms, controls, menus, etc.
For your info, there will be no hello world example here. I hate and despise that phrase.
Since the material covered in this tutorial is pretty basic, it should work on all versions of Visual Basic. The steps just might be a little different than VB6 (which is what Im using).
Your first steps
Start up Visual Basic. If everything works fine, you should see a New Project dialog box. Double-click on Standard EXE to create a new project. You should now see a window in the middle with the title Project 1 Form1 (Form). Now click on Run -> Start or press F5 to run the project. Now you can see the same window that was inside the Form window. This acts just like any Windows application and you can move, resize, maximize, and minimize it. Click the X in the corner of the Form1 window to stop the program.
Creating the controls and setting properties
So far, the program doesnt actually do anything. Were going to create a simple program where the user enters text into a text box and clicks a command button. A message box will pop up that contains the text in the text box.
To add these controls to the form, use the toolbar on the right. Click the text box button. Now on the form click and drag until its a good size then release the mouse button. Add a command button right below it. Right now inside the text box it should say Text1 and the command button should read Command1.
Select the text box to edit its properties. In the Properties window on the right, change the (Name) value to txtMessage. (Getting into the habit of using descriptive names for your controls will come in handy when youre working on bigger projects in the future). Now scroll down and remove the text in the Text property to make the textbox blank by default.
Rename Command1 to cmdMessageBox. Change the Caption property to OK
Adding the code
Now we get to the good part (sort of). Double-click the command button and it will open the code window for that control. Private Sub cmdMessageBox_Click() means it will be called when the button is clicked. Ill get into the Private Sub part later. Insert this code:
Dim Message as String This declares a variable. A variable is something that can hold a value. You can declare variables of different types. Integer variables can hold numbers. String variables can hold groups of characters. Boolean variables can only hold two values: true and false. So this statement declares a variable called Message that will hold a string value.Code:Dim Message As String Message = txtMessage.Text MsgBox Message
Message = txtMessage.text This puts a value into the variable. In this case, its the contents of the text box.
MsgBox Message MsgBox will pop up a message box (the name says it all). It will contain the data in the Message variable, which contains the data in the text box.
Moving on
So youve learned how to create a project, add controls and edit their properties, and insert code. Now its time to move on and learn the things youll need for almost every non-trivial program you make. Im not going to explain everything as detailed as I did above. Youll have to actually think for yourself.. (God forbid!)
Basic math in VB
Math in VB is easy. In the examples below x and y are integer variables.
Addition: x = y + 2
Subtraction: x = y 2
Multiplication: x = y * 3
Division: x = y / 2 (this will give a decimal if theres a remainder)
Division: x = y \ 2 (this will round it down if theres a remainder. Get the remainder with mod)
Mod: x = y Mod 2 (remainder of y / 2)
Exponent: x = y ^ 2
Conditional statements
Conditional statements provide ways for the program to make decisions based on certain factors. Conditional statements are used all the time in programming. For instance, if you had a message box asking the user a question, you could store which button they clicked (yes, no) in a variable. Then you could do an action if they clicked yes, or something else if they clicked no. Heres the code for that:
The return value of a message box statement is a number that indicates which button was pressed. There are built-in variables in VB that contain the numbers for certain buttons (vbYes, vbNo, vbCancel).Code:Dim Response As Integer Response = MsgBox("Yes or No?", vbYesNo) If Response = vbYes Then MsgBox "You clicked yes!" Else MsgBox "You clicked no!" End If
The above If statement is pretty self explanatory. If the response is vbYes, then pop up the messagebox. Otherwise, pop up a different message box. You can also use ElseIf if you have more than two possibilities:
There are other operators than = that you can use to compare values:Code:Dim Response As Integer Response = MsgBox("Yes, No, or Cancel?", vbYesNoCancel) If Response = vbYes Then MsgBox "You clicked yes!" ElseIf Response = vbNo Then MsgBox "You clicked no!" Else MsgBox "You clicked cancel!" End If
Greater than and less than:
If x > y Then
If x < y Then
Greater than or equal to and less than or equal to:
If x <= y Then
If x >= y Then
If Not (x = y)
You can also use multiple conditions with And and Or. Using And, both conditions have to be true. Using Or, only one has to be true
If a = b And c = d Then
If a = b Or c = d Then
Pretty easy huh? This VB stuffs a cinch! But hold on! We also have Select Case statements!
This introduces InputBox and Select Case. InputBox pops up a window that prompts the user for text. The return value is the text entered. Select Case takes a variable and checks the value in it. In some cases (no pun intended) its a lot easier to use and cleaner than If statements, especially when you need separate code for a lot of different possibilities. For example, if the user entered a number from 1 to 10, and you needed to execute different code depending on which number they entered, you would want to use Select Case.Code:Dim Message As String Message = InputBox("Enter a letter") Select Case Message Case "a" MsgBox "apples" Case "d" MsgBox "dog" Case "z" MsgBox "zebra" Case Else MsgBox "Try another!" End Select
Ok, were done with conditionals Now we get into loops. Loops are used to execute the same code multiple times.
For loops
First well do For loops. For loops use a variable to loop a certain number of times. Each time, the variable is incremented. Its kind of hard to explain without an example:
This will execute Msgbox I ten times. The first time I will be equal to 1, the second itll be equal to 2, etc Also if you add Step # after the basic For statement it will modify the loop so that it goes up by # instead of 1. Heres a program to calculate square numbers:Code:Dim I As Integer For I = 1 To 10 MsgBox I Next I
There are a couple things here you may not have seen before. You can declare more than one variable with one Dim statement on the same line. You can concatenate (merge) strings using &. See NOW were starting to write stuff thats useful already!Code:Dim I As Integer, Counter As Integer Dim FinalText As String For I = 1 To 99 Step 2 Counter = Counter + I FinalText = FinalText & Counter & ", " Next I MsgBox FinalText
Do Loop loops
These loops are used to execute code WHILE something is true or UNTIL something is true. Example:
This code will output 100 in a message box. This code will also output 100:Code:Dim I As Integer Do I = I + 1 Loop Until I = 100 MsgBox I
So you could use this, for example, to monitor a text box until it holds a certain string:Code:Dim I As Integer Do I = I + 1 Loop While I < 100 MsgBox I
DoEvents prevents the computer from hanging up in the loop. It allows other processes to do stuff. It loops until the text box has passwd then messageboxes OK. Pretty simple.Code:Do DoEvents Loop Until Text1.Text = "passwd" MsgBox "OK"
Exit statements
Sometimes during loops there are special conditions where you want to exit the loop early. This can be done with these commands for the different loops:
Exit For
Exit Do
Its also possible to nest loops and conditionals. This is useful in some cases. For example, think of a brute force password cracker. It would probably use nested loops (or maybe Im missing something).
Heres how to nest suff:
Code:Dim X As Integer, Y As Integer, Counter As Integer For X = 1 To 10 For Y = 1 To 10 Counter = Counter + X + Y Next Y Next X MsgBox CounterCode:Dim X As Integer, Y As Integer X = InputBox("Enter a number") Y = InputBox("Enter another number") If X = 3 Then If Y = 5 Then MsgBox "Both numbers are correct" Else MsgBox "Only the first number was correct" End If ElseIf Y = 5 Then MsgBox "Only the second number was correct" Else MsgBox "Neither were correct" End If
Subs and Functions
Sometimes youll be in a situation where you need to execute the exact same code from two different places. Instead of putting the same code in multiple places, you can create a Sub or Function that you can call from anywhere. The only difference between Subs and Functions is that Functions return a value. They can take parameters, which are values passed to them to be used (ex: Msgbox text -> text is a parameter)
Here is a Function to reverse a string:
This introduces some new stuff. ByVal makes sure that the function cant modify the original variable. Len(x) returns the length of x. Mid gets characters out of the middle of strings. The way its used: Mid(string, place, length) where string is the text you want to extract from, place is the position in the string, and length is how many characters to be extracted.Code:Function Reverse(ByVal Txt As String) As String Dim I As Integer Dim ReversedTxt As String For I = Len(Txt) To 1 Step -1 ReversedTxt = ReversedTxt & Mid(Txt, I, 1) Next I Reverse = ReversedTxt End Function
To return a value with a function, you treat the function name like a variable. Reverse = ReversedTxt.
Subs work the same way as functions, except they dont return anything. Subs are usually used to modify objects on the form. Functions are usually used to modify variables.
Menus are an important part of Windows applications. They allow access to a lot of features without cluttering the form with command buttons. VB makes it easy to add menus to your forms.
Right click on the form and select Menu Editor. To add a File menu, enter &File into the Caption text box. The & character underlines the letter in after it and allows the user to navigate through menus using the Alt key. In Name enter mnuFile. Now press enter and it will add File to the list. To add menus within File you can click the right arrow button to indent the entry. Then you add it just like to added the File menu.
To add code to a menu, double-click on the one you want to add code to. A code window will pop up and you can insert code just like you would into any control.
Global variables
Global variables are variables that can be accessed by any Sub. Although they are useful, they should be used only when necessary or else your code will get hard to follow and debug. You declare global variables in the (General) section of the code.
Option Explicit forces you to declare variables before you use them. You should put this in the (General) section of every program you make. It will make your life easier.Code:Option Explicit Dim X As Integer, Y as Single
With the example above, X and Y will be accessible to every Sub in that form. If you want to make variables available to every form, youll have to declare them in a module.
To create a module, go to Project -> Add Module then click Open. You can declare variables in the window. Instead of Dim, you should use Global.
This code will make the exact same variables as above, except they will be available to the entire project instead of just one form.Code:Global X As Integer, Y as Single
Times and Dates
If you want to use times and dates in your code, its pretty easy. The Date function returns the date in the format m/d/yy. The Time function returns the time in the format h:mm:ss AM/PM. So the following code would pop up a message box that says the date and time:
Another useful time function is Timer. It returns the number of seconds passed since midnight. Its an easy way to tell how long its been since something happened. For example:Code:MsgBox "Today's date is " & Date & " and the time is " & Time
Put that code in a command button. When you click the button the first time, nothing happens. The second time, it tells you how many seconds passed between the clicks. Ill explain some of the new stuff:Code:Static X As Single If X = 0 Then X = Timer Else MsgBox Timer - X End If
When you use Static instead of Dim to declare variables, the variable will hold its value even after the Sub ends. This is useful when you dont need global variables but you want the variable to keep its value.
By now you should know enough about the language to start making your own simple programs. Im planning on writing a more advanced tutorial for people who already know something about the language. Be sure to look out for that. For now, if youre just starting to learn Visual Basic, this will give you a good start. If you dont know VB, I suggest you at least try it. Its a great language.

Mango pie is a delightful blend of tropical mango and cream cheese. The bright yellow color, the intense fruity flavor and refreshing taste of mango will take your senses to Paradise.
Mango pie is a delightful blend of tropical mango and cream cheese. It is light yet creamy dessert with a smooth texture. You can taste the exotically sweet and tart flavor of the delectable mango in every bite.
Mango pie is the perfect summer dessert. The bright yellow color, the intense fruity flavor and refreshing taste of mango will take your senses to Paradise. Needless to say, Mango is the super fruit. From sweet to spicy, there is a mango recipe to please any palatte.
My colleague Geetha brought this dessert to our office party and I absolutely loved it on the very first bite. I must say parties are great places to taste new recipes. Soon after the party, I went to her desk, if you are asking for what, for the recipe of course!
Light, creamy and cool, with a fresh mango flavor, it is the perfect no-cook, no-bake dessert. The best part is that it takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and uses only a few ingredients.
|Pie crust
|- 1
|Mango pulp
|- 3-4 Cups or 3/4 of 30oz tin
|Cream cheese
|- 1 8oz block
|- 1 small pkt or 1-2 Tbsps (use more for extra firm)
|- as required
To start, thaw the cream cheese.
You can substitute cream/milk and condensed milk for cream cheese. You might need 1/2 cup of condensed milk and 1/2 cup of milk/cream.
Heat 1/2 cup of water and stir in gelatin powder. Stir until it dissolves. Cool it to room temperature.
Gelatin is a substance used to provide a firm consistency. I use 1 to 1 1/2 packets of gelatin. I have not made the pie using condensed milk so I would say two packets for the first time. Depending on the firmness, you can adjust it for the next time.
Combine cream cheese, mango pulp and gelatin liquid and beat it in a blender.
Taste the mango mixture before adding sugar as mango pulp contains good amount of sugar. If sweetened condensed milk is used, sugar might not be required.
I use the mango pulp tin available in Indian store. If you do not get ready-made mango pulp, you can buy good mangoes and make the pulp at home.
Pour the mango mixture into the piecrust and refridgerate for 4-5 hours or until it sets.
If you do not have pie crust, you can omit it. You can pour the mango mixture into any medium-shallow dish and refrigerate it.
Your mango pie is ready!

A basic ganache can be made with just 2 ingredients, chocolate and cream, and optionally butter. You can use any kind of chocolate and even mix different kinds to achive the bitterness/sweetness you're looking for. It can be used for truffles, fillings for molded chocolates, fillings or icing for cakes, sauces, rich tart fillings, to glaze or sandwich cookies, etc. It can even be whipped for a lighter texture almost like a mousse.
Here I'm using half dark chocolate, half milk chocolate. The consistency of the ganache will depend on the percentage of cream but also from the type of chocolate. Darker chocolates with a higher cocoa solids will make much more consistent ganaches than the ones made with milk or white chocolates.
Flavours will depend on your imagination: licors, coffee, caramel, extracts, teas, spices, fruit purés, herbs, etc. In the picture above I'm using black tea infused in the cream. You can infuse whatever you want, but if using alcohol be sure to add it at the end.
Regardless the types of chocolate or the amount of cream, the method of doing the perfect ganache is the same:
Slightly melt the chocolate (not totally) as seen in the picture on top. Use chips or finelly chopped chocolate and 1 minute in the microwave will do. Get the cream and heat it just until before boiling point, add here the flavorings you're going to use. Straine the cream unto the recipient where the chocolate is and let it rest for a couple of minutes without touching it (1). This will slowly melt the chocolate and create a better texture (2). After a couple of minutes you can start mixing it using a spatula (3).
Start from the middle and you'll start to see the texture changing. It will look strange at first, but it will all come together nicely and soon you'll have an uniform shiny cream (1-3).
At this point add little nobs of butter at room temperature, if using, and keep mixing until the butter is melted and fully integrated in the ganache (4). The butter will give a bit of elasticity and also more shine. Add licors now at the end, alcohol will create a reaction with the fat and will make it much thicker after cooling but you will notice it right away.
Ok, now you have your ganache ready! It will need some chilling time to gain consistence to spread or to make balls for truffles. If it becomes to thick, leave it at room temperature until it's softer.
Me? I poored mine into a tray to cut later and make bombons, I'll show you those some other day.
Here are 2 other examples of ganaches: 1 is a milk chocolate ganache with chestnut pure added at the end and 2 is a plain white chocolate ganache.
- For truffles and bombons
- 1 kg (35.7 oz) chocolate
- 500 gr (17.9 oz) cream
- 50 gr (1.8 oz) butter (optional)
- Flavour of choice ( I used 30 gr (1oz) black tea)
- For fillings
- 1 kg (35.7 oz) chocolate
- 1 kg (35.7 oz) cream
- 50 gr (1.8 oz) butter (optional)
- Flavour of choice

I realize that the idea behind a park is that it's natural and stuff, but the idea of the government deciding to build a better mountain, and then never getting around to doing anything with it made me giggle.
And it took me a whopping fifteen minutes. But you could never tell that from the high quality illustrating.

Rihanna, "Unapologetic" (Island Def Jam Music Group)
There's something about Rihanna. And her producers.
The singer's new album — her seventh in seven years — is like many of her other releases, full of songs that are catchy, fun and addictive. Her albums are almost like listening to a "NOW" compilation disc.
"Unapologetic" is no different. It's full of future hits, and not a single miss.
"Phresh Out the Runaway," which kicks off the album, does so with a bang. And there are more: "Pour It Up," which has Rihanna sounding like a female version of The-Dream, is appealing; "Jump" samples Ginuwine's "Pony" — and it's surprisingly good; and the David Guetta-helmed "Right Now" is European-flavored and upbeat.
Even Rihanna's duet with her ex Chris Brown on "Nobody's Business," which samples Michael Jackson's "The Way You Make Me Feel," will make you move your feet. Lyrically though, the song is somewhat dismissive. "Ain't nobody's business," she sings. OK, then stop tweeting one another.
When Rihanna slows it down, she's still on point: Her duet with singer Mikky Ekko on the piano-tune "Stay" is touching; the mid-tempo first single, the Sia-penned "Diamonds," is enjoyable; and "What Now" builds nicely from its calming verse to its electrified hook.
CHECK OUT THIS TRACK: "Pour It Up" is the jam.

We've uncovered new developments in the case of convicted serial killer Anthony Sowell and another desperate attempt to save his life.
New court papers were just filed by an expert hired by the Defense for his trial.
Lori James-Townes now says the defense couldn't been more thorough and probably messed up calling some Sowell relatives to testify.
The papers were just filed as a part of an appeal. Sowell sits on death row, convicted of killing 11 women.
Townes writes she needed more time to look into Sowell's past. And she writes, "It became apparent most family members were so damaged that they should have testify or be limited. Family witnesses probably did more harm than good."
Prosecutors get to respond and perhaps decades of appeals will follow.

How to Use
William Penn founded Philadelphia in 1682 as the capital of Pennsylvania. By 1710, this simple Quaker town had grown into the largest city in the colonies. By the time of the Revolutionary War, the city was among the largest in the entire British Empire as well as the wealthiest and most cosmopolitan city in North America. Furthermore, Philadelphia was the biggest port on the coast and located approximately in the middle of the colonies.The city boasted 6,000 houses, 33 churches, 10 newspapers, and 300 shops laid out in an orderly grid pattern along the banks of the Delaware River.1 While typical colonial streets were made of dirt, many of Philadelphia's streets were made of cobblestone or brick and lined with street lamps to light the city at night. The State House, where the Second Continental Congress and the Constitutional Convention met, was an impressive brick building constructed to house the colonial government of Pennsylvania.
1. What natural features form the east-west boundaries of the city?
2. How would you describe Philadelphia at the time of the Revolutionary War?
3. Do you think Philadelphia was a logical place for the delegates to meet? Explain your answer.
4. Why might this 1777 map of Philadelphia have included a drawing of the State House? What do you think this suggests about the importance of the building?

The start to Aaron Harang's 12th season in the majors didn't exactly go as planned.
Getting traded twice in the first three weeks of the year will do that.
Finally settled in Seattle, Harang appears ready to return to form. Two days shy of his 35th birthday, he allowed two runs in six strong innings of a 4-1 loss to Pittsburgh on Tuesday, proof his nomadic April is firmly behind him.
Harang (1-4) surrendered five hits, struck out six and dropped his ERA from 8.58 to 7.30, his second straight solid start. He picked up his first win of the season last week against Baltimore and may have been even better against the surprising Pirates.
"I had three weeks off at the beginning of the season," said Harang, who was shipped from the Dodgers to Colorado to Seattle in April. "I was trying to keep myself in a rhythm. ... We've done our work trying to figure things out and I've been where I need to be in these last two starts."
Still, it wasn't quite enough to keep the Mariners from continuing their recent surge after a slow start. Seattle came in 7-3 in its last 10 games, but couldn't get a handle on Pittsburgh spot starter Jeanmar Gomez, who was thrust into the lineup when James McDonald was placed on the disabled list with tightness in his right (throwing) shoulder just hours before the game.
While Gomez crammed for the Mariners, Seattle did the same, with miserable results. Gomez (2-0) limited the Mariners to just two hits over five innings before Pittsburgh's bullpen took care of the rest.
"We didn't have much time to prepare for him and everybody scrambled to do the best they could to get ready," Seattle manager Eric Wedge said. "Be that as it may, the kid pitched a good ballgame. He had a good sinker, a good slider that he kept sweeping off the plate. He threw a good ballgame."
Andrew McCutchen went 4 for 4 with an RBI-double and Garrett Jones hit a two-run homer in the eighth to pad Pittsburgh's lead. Jason Grilli pitched the ninth for his major league-leading 13th save.
Raul Ibanez provided a pinch-hit RBI-double in the seventh to pull the Mariners within a run, but Seattle couldn't keep Pittsburgh from improving to 14-0 when leading after seven innings this season.
The Pirates traded for Gomez in January hoping the 25-year-old could find a role on a pitching staff that's had trouble staying healthy.
Gomez made the roster as a long reliever, but in some ways, he's become the de facto fifth man in the rotation. He was pressed into action three batters into the game against St. Louis last month when starter Jonathan Sanchez was ejected, then took over Sanchez's spot last week against Milwaukee after the Pirates and Sanchez parted ways.
Still, he wasn't planning on working on Tuesday until the McDonald informed Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle that his right shoulder didn't feel right. McDonald has struggled with his command and his velocity all season and began the day with a 2-2 record and a 5.76 ERA while hardly looking like the pitcher who nearly made the All-Star team last summer.
Placing McDonald on the disabled list means Gomez will get another chance to start on Sunday in New York. Considering the way he handled the Mariners on short notice, perhaps the Pirates shouldn't inform Gomez until Sunday morning.
The Mariners offered little resistance during Gomez's five innings, their only real push coming with a brief two-out rally in the third when Michael Saunders singled and former Pirates All-Star Jason Bay walked. Kyle Seager lined out to left to end the threat and Gomez exited without letting anyone get to third base.
Gomez only needed 66 pitches to record 15 outs, after which Hurdle lifted him in favor of one of the National League's best bullpens.
The Pirates gave Gomez all the offense he would need in the first inning. Starling Marte led off with a bunt single off Harang then scored on Travis Snider's RBI-double. McCutchen followed with a double to left-center and the Pirates were up 2-0.
"It was two bad pitches there in the first inning, a slider to McCutchen over the middle of the plate and with two strikes I tried to make too fine of a pitch to Snider and made a mistake middle in," Harang said. "After that, I was able to execute my pitches."
McCutchen's double extended his hot streak. The All-Star center fielder is now 13 of his last 27 (.481) in his last seven games to raise his average from .216 to .276.
NOTES: LHP Francisco Liriano appears ready to make his Pirates debut on Saturday in New York against the Mets. Liriano has been on the disabled list all season while recovering from a broken right arm. He signed a two-year contract with the Pirates in the offseason ... The brief two-game set wraps up on Wednesday when Seattle's Felix Hernandez (4-2, 1.60) faces Pittsburgh's A.J. Burnett (3-2, 2.57). The teams meet again in Seattle in June ... Pittsburgh C Russell Martin was scratched before the game with a neck issue and is day to day. Replacement Mike McKenry went 0 for 4.

SAN JOSE � Marcus Reese, a star linebacker at Oak Grove two decades ago before moving on to UCLA, was named head football coach at his high school alma mater Monday.
�We�re really excited to have him,��co-athletic director Rick Huck said.��He goes above and beyond the call of duty. He really wants to make a difference. He�s had opportunities to coach at other places. But he�s made it clear Oak Grove is near and dear to his heart.�
Reese takes over from Jay Braun, who was dismissed in February, more than two months after�he cursed at an administrator along the sideline during a game and left before its conclusion.
The East Side Union High School District board listened to numerous testimonials between November and February, both for and against the longtime coach, before announcing its decision in mid-February to let Braun go.
Jack Hamner, Braun�s East Side Teachers Association representative, said on the day of the district�s verdict that �ESTA has been waiting for arbitration. We should have been there three months ago. ESTA is looking forward to getting Jay Braun his due process in arbitration.�
Hamner did not immediately respond to a text message Monday.
Reese was among the program�s prominent names who spoke out against Braun at district board meetings.
An assistant under Braun the past five years, Reese was interim coach for the team�s Central Coast Section playoff game last fall at Valley Christian, a 36-0 loss that closed out a 6-5 season.
Reese also is the school�s head track coach.
�He�s well loved by all teachers and players,� Huck said. �He�s a perfect fit.�
Oak Grove opens its season in the Honor Bowl against Del Oro-Loomis at St. Francis on Aug. 24. The Eagles also will play St. Francis and Oakland Tech.

Giles Deacon for New Look, one of the few designer X high street collaborations for men returns next week with another collection, featuring a selection of shirts, t-shirts, jeans and knits.
We like that the New Look collections are a chance to see Deacon's lighter take on fashion with witty t-shirt prints and bright colours. Hopefully we'll see see pieces which push boundaries a little more in future collections but as always it's baby steps for menswear. Having said that the designer himself wears quite simple and classic clothes, miles away from his last Pac Man womenswear catwalk show. What do you think? Take our poll and let us know!
The Giles for New Look collection debuts Wednesday the 15th July, prices range from £12 for a t-shirt to £30 for a pair of jeans.

Companies join initiative to assist long-term unemployed
CHARLESTON – One of the largest communications services providers in the nation is teaming up with companies to break barriers for the long-term unemployed.
Frontier Communications has joined more than 300 businesses in an initiative to hire those who have been jobless for an extended period of time, according to a press release.
Chairman and CEO Maggie Wilderotter said those who have been unemployed the longest have had difficulty returning to the workforce, some of whom are Frontier customers, according to a press release.
"Statistics validate that these potential workers have more experience and education than applicants who are hired quickly after losing a position," Wilderotter said in a statement. "Frontier is committed to adopting and building upon best practices that will expedite the return to the workforce of those who have been unemployed for a year or more."
The companies will follow best-practice guidelines offered by the federal government, according to a White House report. Companies such as Apple, Hilton, PriceWaterHouseCoopers and WIS International have signed up to participate, according to the document.
The initiative comes on the heels of President Barack Obama's State of the Union address last week, which highlighted efforts to utilized skills of the long-term unemployed, Christy Reap, external communications manager for Frontier, wrote in an email.
Those who have been out of work 27 weeks or more are considered long-term unemployed, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. As of December, the unemployment rate was 6.7 percent, according to the agency. The number of long-term unemployed was at 3.9 million, which accounted for 37.7 percent of the unemployed, according to the agency.
Frontier will have internal discussions to evaluate its applicant screening process and implement best business practices, Reap wrote. The company hopes to ensure potential employees are not disqualified based on their unemployment status, according to a press release.
Frontier will continue to create public-private partnerships to train workers and inform the public about internships and job opportunities, Reap wrote.
Wilderotter made the announcement last week after attending a meeting at the White House hosted by Obama, according to a press release. Frontier will work with Vice President Joe Biden, Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker and Secretary of Labor Tom Perez on the initiative, Wilderotter said in a statement.
Frontier Communications employs more than 13,000 people in the U.S. and features programs for military veterans, reservists and their spouses. Frontier offers broadband Internet, digital television, telephone and data management services as well as specialized bundles to residential customers and businesses in more than 20 states.

Welcome to this week's Grace at Home party!
Recently I've had a several people ask me what I mean by "grace at home." The answer is simple, really. We're all recipients of God's grace. His grace is the source of all that's good and beautiful in our lives. And now we have the privilege of extending grace to everyone around us. This party is a celebration of the all the ways we make our homes places of grace.
Don't misunderstand me--you don't have to write a post specifically about grace to join this party. My purpose here is to remind us all that, in truth, every good thing IS about grace--God's good gifts to us and our reflections of His grace.
Inspired by her mom's example, Cyndi from Walking in Grace and Beauty wrote a post called "Finishing Is More Important than Starting." This will bless your heart and spirit.
Jenn from One Thrifty Chick wrote a tutorial for a great gift idea: simmering spice packets. She gave these to teachers for a Halloween gift, but they'd also make great little Thanksgiving or Christmas presents.
If you'll be hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year, you might need a lovely centerpiece for your table. Check out Leslie's tutorial for this gorgeous pumpkin centerpiece!
Thank you so much to everyone who joined last week's party! If you've been featured this week (or in a previous week), feel free to grab my new "I've been featured" button.

Last weekend was my first experience with genealogy based webinars. In the past I have reviewed podcasts from various sites, but this was an entirely different experience. There I was in my comfy clothing with my snacks at the ready to learn new and exciting information!
I became aware of the availability of these classes from a wonderful new site created by genealogy expert DearMYRTLE. On the GeneaWebinars site the stated purpose is to "provide a single place to find out about upcoming events." What a wonderful site to gain knowledge from many of the most respected genealogists!
The first class I attended this past weekend was called "Getting Started in Genealogy: the basics" with Lisa Alzo. At first I was not going to register since I have been actively researching for over three years. Then I decided a refresher for the first class would be appropriate. My goodness was this an excellent idea! Lisa had so many wonderful pointers, answered questions, and shared helpful search methodology.
The second class was by Michael Hait of Family History Research Services. This webinar was entitled "Your Civil War Ancestors: a Guide to Research." During this session Michael gave helpful tips to locating your Civil War descendants and shared stories that brought the time period to life.
Here are just a few of the upcoming webinars listed on the site:
Saturday, March 26 : "Stories: How to Write a Compelling Family History Narrative" with Lisa Alzo aka The Accidental Genealogist.
Wednesday, April 6 : "Building a Research Toolbox" with Thomas MacEntee of GenaBloggers fame.
Saturday, May 7 : "Getting Your Notes and Sources Right" with Janet Hovorka aka The Chart Chick.
Head on over to GeneaWebinars and browse the listing. I hope I will see you online soon!

GONZALES, LA (WAFB) - An ordinary evening of work for a few employees in Gonzales, LA quickly became a terrifying experience one night in March.
According to police reports and witnesses, an off-duty Gonzales Police Officer was at a strip club in Gonzales, LA on March 13, 2013. The police report states the officer, Chase Delatte, walked into the men's restroom around 1:38 a.m. to check if his personal firearm in an ankle holster was loaded.
The Glock handgun accidentally fired, according to the report.
One employee describes what happened in the early morning hours of March 13 at the Crazy Horse Cabaret. The employee, like her coworkers on shift that night, gave statements to the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office.
"Well basically I just heard a really big bang," said one employee, who asked not to be identified.
One statement reads, "I heard a loud shot sound. After the shot I immediately smelled a faint smell of gun powder."
Another states, "I saw Chase Delatte walking out of the bathroom to the table he was sitting at before."
And yet another, "I went into the men's restroom where I saw the bullet casing on the floor and a hole in the door."
The sheriff's report says Delatte walked out of the men's restroom after the gun fired, walked to his table, paid his tab and left. The report also says the surveillance video shows the same.
Chase Delatte was tracked down at his home later that morning, he told investigators his gun accidentally discharged while he was in the bathroom. The report also describes Delatte's appearance, saying, "Delatte was cooperative while speaking with him but a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emitting from his facial area."
The report does not say how Delatte got from the Cabaret to his home.
"I definitely would think that as a police officer you would do more to protect people than put people in danger and that was a real dangerous thing to be doing," said the unnamed employee.
Gonzales Police Chief Sherman Jackson declined an on-camera interview but did answer all our questions by phone. He said his department investigated the incident involving Officer Delatte and appropriate action was taken.
Jackson also released a statement that says, "Once I was notified of Officer Delatte's involvement, an investigation was initiated by my office. Our findings led to the recommendation and subsequent three-day suspension of Officer Delatte in regards to his conduct."
That suspension, according to documents from the Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office, is a three day suspension that is effective April 5, 2013. His suspension is for three working days.
The statement from Jackson continues to say, "I know officer Delatte well and firmly believe him to be an officer of exceptional character. We are thankful that no one was hurt."
According to Jackson this is the first incident involving Delatte where discipline was required but a 9News ITeam investigation in February 2012, revealed he was in a speeding vehicle along with Chief Jackson and other off-duty officers when the driver refused to pull over leading responding Gonzales police officers on a low speed chase through town eventually stopping at police headquarters. According to the report written by the responding officer, Delatte exited the vehicle and told the officer quote, "Man y'all ain't got no life."
While Jackson says Delatte was off duty on March 13, the Gonzales Police Department operations manual states that officers of the department are not authorized to carry a firearm into a bar while off duty. That is a scenario the employee says could have easily had a much different outcome.
"It could have went off anywhere he was just sitting down at the table it could have accidentally been going off. He could have accidentally shot anybody," added the employee.
Gonzales, LA is about 21 miles southeast of Baton Rouge, LA.

Driven to Save
Metro Taxi
Inspired by lower operating costs and consumer enthusiasm, metro taxi in denver is switching its entire fleet of 420 cars to hybrid vehicles. It has already replaced 37 standard sedans—mostly Ford Crown Victorias, rated at 19 miles per gallon by the Environmental Protection Agency—with the Toyota Prius, rated at 46 mpg. After the fleet is fully converted, which will take up to eight years, the company says it will save 2.6 million gallons of gasoline annually, or $5.2 million at $2 a gallon. The change has created some public buzz, too. "A lot of customers now call specifically for the Prius," says Brian Horvath, fleet manager. "They like the comfort and the quietness and the whole green idea."
Metro Taxi has also replaced the old furnaces at its large maintenance shop with two units made by Clean Burn in Leola, Pa., which consume used motor oil from the many oil changes. "We just drain it from the vehicle and pump it into a storage tank," Horvath says. "We're no longer paying disposal fees" or buying hundreds of gallons of heating fuel a month during the winter.

Well, I don't exactly how, but suddenly there appeared a new local disk on my hard disk drives? It's called z:\ and cannot be opened, not even be explored... It's got a big question mark in front of it.
Please tell me that I don't have to worry about it and that with a simple thing it can be removed...
Does anybody had an idea what it could be?
I kinda have an idea but I hope I'm so wrong about it...
By the way, I checked on virusses... none was found.
I also checked my ports and it seemed that one was found open... Strange because I checked them about a week ago and then they were all fine!
could it have anything to do with the fact I just installed a printer this mourning?
Nahhh, don't think so, but It's piece of information I forgot to mention...
I don't see the connection between installing a printer and suddenly a new local disk called z:\

A 20-year-old man is dead and another man is seriously injured in Lake City after someone opened fire on a parked vehicle.
A 20-year-old man is dead and another man was seriously injured in Lake City after someone opened fire on the parked vehicle the two were sitting in just before 2 a.m. Thursday, authorities said.
According to the Lake City Police Department, Christopher T. McConnell, 20, and Elijah D. Dunning, 48, were in a vehicle in front of 742 NW Alama Ave. at 1:45 a.m. when a man approached the vehicle and fired several shots into it.
Dunning drove them both to nearby UF Health Shands Lake Shore Hospital, where McConnell was unresponsive. Medical personnel were unable to save McConnell, who was pronounced dead a short time later, according to the police report.
Dunning was flown to UF Health Shands Hospital. His condition was unavailable Thursday morning.
LCPD officers, along with deputies from the Columbia County Sheriff's Office and representatives from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the State Attorney's Office responded to the scene, where it was determined that the suspect ran from the scene. K9 tracking teams from the Florida Department of Corrections and Florida Fish and Wildlife searched unsuccessfully for the shooter.
Police are asking anyone with knowledge of the shooting incident to contact the Lake City Police Department at 386-752-4344. Anonymous information can also be provided through the TIPS Line at 386-719-2068.

Cress Restaurant in downtown DeLand has been named the best restaurant in the greater Orlando area by Zagat Survey LLC, a national company that scores restaurants based on diner surveys.
DELAND -- Cress Restaurant in downtown DeLand has been named the best restaurant in the greater Orlando area by Zagat Survey LLC, a national company that scores restaurants based on diner surveys.
New York-based Zagat announced this week that Cress, at 103 W. Indiana Ave., earned a nearly perfect score of 29 on the company's 30-point rating scale — tops among the 360 restaurants in the company's 2013 "Orlando City Guide."
"We're blown away," said Hari Pulapaka, the restaurant's executive chef and co-owner. "I stand by what I make."
This is the first time Cress has made Zagat's list. The restaurant rating company last published a city guide for the Orlando area in 2002.
No other Volusia restaurants made Zagat's latest list. Rona Gindin, a local editor with Zagat, said that other Volusia restaurants might not have received enough diner evaluations to be included in the print guide.
Flagler County restaurants weren't included in the Orlando City Guide because Zagat doesn't consider the county part of the Orlando area, Gindin said.
Zagat collects reviews from thousands of diners from across the country and scores restaurants on food, wine, service and d�cor.
Cress, which specializes in seasonal global cuisine, ranked first in food quality, first in wine selection and fourth in service. The restaurant also ranked highly in d�cor, Pulapaka said.
The restaurant's name refers to the plants in the mustard family.
Pulapaka, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Orlando, opened Cress in 2008 with his wife, Dr. Jenneffer Pulapaka, a local podiatrist.
Hari Pulapaka handles the food, while his wife manages the restaurant's wine selection.
"We're extremely flattered," Hari Pulapaka said of earning Zagat's top ranking. "It won't change what we've been doing for five years now — handling one plate at a time, one guest at a time. It's the only way we know how to do things."
Zagat ratings carry clout with many diners, said Costa Magoulas, dean of the School of Hospitality and Culinary Management at Daytona State College.
"There are people out there that really respect Zagat," Magoulas said. "(Zagat doesn't) set the standard for restaurants, but if your restaurant has a Zagat rating, people recognize that."
Hari Pulapaka said he changes the restaurant's menu based on the season and local availability. Cress carries a selection of about 60 wines.
"My wine menu frequently changes," Jenneffer Pulapaka said. "We remain tireless in our efforts to keep the flavor profile current, based on Hari's menu."
Jenneffer Pulapaka said the restaurant attracts diners from Daytona Beach, Orlando and even Jacksonville. She hopes the new Zagat ratings will draw more out-of-town diners and make Cress even more of a destination restaurant, she said.
"(Diners from Jacksonville) try to make a nice day out of it," Pulapaka said.
Cress has eight employees.

When the Carroll County complex was built in 1999, specifications for the fence around Carter Cemetery changed at the last minute.
The contractor purchased wrought iron gates as the original specs called for. The county paid $1,800 for the gates and stored them for several years.
A year ago I inquired about the gates. With rising metal prices, the gates would be worth about $3,000. I got an answer after three months that the gates were hauled away with scrap chain link fence. I pointed out this was not true. Why would anyone haul new gates to a scrap pile?

I love the way the dash kit upgrades the instrument panel. The kit needs to be updated for the 2016 model because the trim pieces that surround the door pull levers do not fit on the front doors. There are two switches for the door lock just ahead of the door opening lever and the supplied trim piece is too small to fit around the switches and the door lever. The rear door trim fit fine. Because the front door trim did not fit, I had to also leave off the rear door trim to be consistent.

LITTLE HIAWATHA (Disney, 1937)
LITTLE HIAWATHA (Disney, 1937) was released the same year as SNOW WHITE. The studio was in full artistic bloom. The extravagant artistry developed for DIsney's first feature was very evident in its short subjects.
I highly recommend getting the official Disney DVD releases of the Silly Symphonies. While not in current release, the boxed sets (part one and two) remain available on eBay.
Here, in the meantime, the cartoon (thanks YouTube)...
Here's the opening Background art...
Now the pièce de resistance: one of the longest most elaborate pan backgrounds I've ever seen, or attempted to digitally re-assemble. It is so long, and so elaborate, instead of just breaking it in halves for study, I've also broken it into quarters, as well as the center section.
Truly, an animation backgrounds masterpiece... one of the most magnificent pieces ever to appear on this blog, or in any film. Be sure to click on each section to get the enlarged version for a look at the beautiful details.
First, the complete background:
The left side:
The right side:
And now, broken into five segments to best display all the wonderful details. Segment one, far left:
Segment two, middle left:
Segment three, center:
Segment four, right of center:
And segment five, far right:
In the next pan B/G I eliminated as much of the water ripple effects as possible:
Out of dozens of scampering woodland creatures, I was able to eliminate all but the possum and a very tiny chipmunk. No animals were harmed during the making of this artwork!!!
At the very end of digitally re-assembling the B/G below, I could have eliminated the bunny at the far right. But he was SO cute, I just couldn't!
Little Hiawatha froze during a pan shot, so he remains there in this pan B/G:
That's not a red rock... that's a bear!!!

Here's a list of tools you will need to start: Jewelers' pandora jewellery wire cutters - If you can only afford one pair, get memory wire shears. pandora charms These are designed to make clean cuts on tough memory wire, so can also be used for pandora charms uk softer wires. Chain-nose pliers sometimes called cheap pandora charms needle-nose pliers – Very versatile for picking up and grasping small items, pandora charms sale bending eye pins, closing jumps rings, even closing crimp beads. discount pandora charms Round-nose pliers – Used for creating loops on beaded head and eye pins.

Crimping pliers which have little notches to allow you to both flatten a crimp bead and then bend it to form a rounded finished look instead of the flat crimp you pandora uk get using the chain-nose pliers.
