Biggest Job Search Myths
December 17, 2013
Don't postpone your job search until after the holidays. This time marks one of the most opportune times for landing a career.
By Angela Rose for
What's on your holiday to-do list? If you're like most healthcare professionals, your December obligations include shopping for gifts, baking holiday goodies, readying your home for guests, and attending countless social gatherings in honor of the season. However, one important project is conspicuously missing from your agenda: searching for a new job.
"No one hires at the end of the year" is perhaps the biggest myth job seekers have mistakenly perpetuated. While it might appear a logical belief—life seems to get busier this time of year so hiring managers must be busy as well—it just doesn't hold up in face of the facts. Consider these reasons to continue—or even begin—your job search this holiday season.
Healthcare employers stopped preparing for the ACA.
Experts expect millions of newly insured individuals to enter the healthcare system early next year as they obtain coverage that satisfies the requirements of the Affordable Care Act. While many organizations have already increased their staff to accommodate this surge in patients, others are still searching for the right primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants and registered nurses to add to their team.
Recruiters and hiring managers suspend hiring in December.
Do many professionals take a few days off to celebrate the holidays? Yes, but for the most part, they conduct business as usual throughout the month of December. According to a 2012 survey by ExecuNet, 65 percent of hiring managers are in the office and accessible to job seekers during the holiday season. Additionally, 53 percent report conducting as many—or even more—interviews during the last two months of the year as during the ten months prior.
You'll face more competition for the best healthcare positions.
Because so many job seekers choose to put their campaigns on hold until after the New Year, employers tend to receive fewer enquiries, resumes, and applications in December. This means they'll have more time to pay attention to yours. If you have yet to do so, now is the time to make contacts within your top ten healthcare organizations, upload your resume to an industry-specific career site, such as
, and set up alerts so you'll receive immediate notification of new job postings.
Networking opportunities are scarce.
Professional healthcare organizations and associations often organize holiday parties and you should plan to attend as many as you can. While you shouldn't monopolize the time of hospital executives, private practice physicians, or other decision makers at such a gathering, it's perfectly acceptable to demonstrate your knowledge of their organization, express your interest in any available positions, and give them your business card.
Don't let the healthcare industry's biggest job search myth keep you from landing a new position before the ball drops on New Year's Eve. Spend December focusing on your job search, targeting top employers, and networking with the professionals who can help you take the next step in your healthcare career.
Upload your resume
and have employers find you!

Stream: Jackie O - Psiconautica Vol.1
Jackie O's Psiconautica Vol. 1 slips delicately through the cracks in an ever-growing range of warming and welcoming modern Euro electro. Filling more on the side of the chill (the genre, not the college adjective of "how you feel"), the earthy production is as harmonious as it is sweet and mysterious.
The Milan producer's work will be distributed digitally July 8, with only 100 physical copies (pre-order here) going out July 29 on Apparel Music. For now, stream several of the available tracks from the release below.

Hauling Wood Debris
I am planning out a new property clean up project that will begin next spring.
I need some ideas about how to most efficiently move stumps, wood debris, etc. to a remote section of my 40 acres to start cleaning up a 7-8 acres section of woods around the house and stream. We purchased the house and land last year and have been renovating the house but that should be wrapped up this winter. I have a L3800 with a grapple, forks, box blade and a bush hog. There are a lot of downed trees and debris from the previous two hurricanes as well as decades of general neglect and storm damage. I've had about 3 acres of it cleaned up by chipping the small stuff and will do that on the rest but it is all the larger stuff, mostly pine, I'm trying to come up with a solution for.
The hardwood that hasn't rotted will be given away as firewood to neighbors, contractors, etc. or processed myself for the same purpose although I've already got about 3 seasons of wood stacked in the barn. I've debated about hauling a lot of the pine off as there is a place nearby that will take scrap wood to run through a drum chipper for landscape mulch, horse bedding, etc. but the hauling cost will add up.
I think I've finally settled on just finding a good place to dig a "stump dump" on the property but it would take A LOT of trips to where it will most likely be to the area I'm cleaning up if I haul it all with the grapple so I'm debating buying a trailer or something to haul the stuff with but unless it dumps, loading and unloading it with the grapple will also be time consuming so I just wanted to solicit some good ideas about the best way to handle it. I can burn in my area but I am only on the property over the weekends and am concerned I'll not have enough time to burn plus get everything safely extinguished before leaving.

Re: Hauling Wood Debris
I suggest you look for a used trailer of some sort...maybe a landscaper's trailer. They are quite plentiful on Craigslist. You'll want something that can carry bulk, rather then a maximum weight.
A dump trailer would be even better, but you don't see many used ones about and they are not inexpensive.Roy Jackson

Farmers find a lot of uses for hay racks around here. Most of them are 8x16 but some are 20' long.
Life is easier when you plow around the stumps.

Re: Hauling Wood Debris
We had kinda the same issue when cleaning off a field that had about 12,000 overgrown Christmas trees that we were getting rid of.
What we came up with was to build a sled out of 4x6 and several layers of 3/4 plywood.
Made it about 8' wide by 12' long. It was real easy to load it with debris using the loader because its only 6" off the ground, then tow it over to the burn area and use the loaded to push the debris off and into the burn pile.
It didn't cost us much to build and after 4 years we're still using it for hauling wood or dirt around the property.

Re: Hauling Wood Debris
The sled idea sounds good.
Stumps usually need to sit for a year or two for the attached dirt to fall off. They don't burn well if they are encased in dirt.
If the area is remote enough, you might just dump them there for the time being. Sometime in the future you might consider burning. OTOH, maybe not....
Actually, I had a brush/tree/stump pile I planned to burn from where we had a hillside pasture cleared. But I always had a fear of the fire getting out of control (I'm a past volunteer fire fighter). This year I took the grapple and moved it all to the edge of the woods. After sitting there for five years, it was decaying and really compressed after I moved it.
On a house we built some years ago, the contractor took the excavator and dug a pit for the stumps and buried them. That's another idea for you: move them for the time being. When you build a house and the heavy equipment is there for the construction, have them dig a pit and bury what's left.
Re: Hauling Wood Debris
The bad part about burying the stumps, is the sinkhole that occurs several years down the road after the wood rots.

Re: Hauling Wood Debris
I purchased one of these Utility Wagon & Tandem Axle Utility Trailer 2 ton Capacity by Country Manufacturing Inc. a few years back and it worked well for some cleanup work I was doing around a pond. It is off-road only and not a lot weight capacity, but the dump is really handy. I built a mobile hydraulic pump that I put in the back of my old jeep so I didn't have to unhook, hook up for each load. But still faster than grapple load trips.

We're goin' to the chapel and we're gonna get hit over the head.
With a tacked-on PC message and leaden attempts at humor, I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry is a movie that gives marriage, homosexuality, friendship, firefighters, children and nearly everything else a bad name. Unless you like your summer movies laced with a heavy dose of homophobia, sexism and racism, steer clear of this unfunny Adam Sandler movie. To make matters no better, it lamely tries to undercut its insulting story with some last-minute sappiness about tolerance and acceptance Sandler plays a firefighting Lothario named Chuck. He's Mr. February in the fire department's calendar of hunks. This is where the movie first takes flight from reality. One can imagine many more worthy specimens for such a compendium than Sandler in a cheesecake pose. While Chuck is busy hooking up with a bevy of blondes, his Brooklyn firefighter colleague Larry, played by Kevin James, is grappling with life as a widowed father of two young children. Some red tape keeps him from naming his offspring as his life insurance beneficiaries. He is told only a spouse can claim those benefits. So, he hatches a plan to claim Larry as his domestic partner, knowing he will distribute any benefits to his kids. The premise is forced, at best. When a bureaucrat suspects fraud, Larry and Chuck decide to tie the knot (in Canada) to make their union appear more convincing. Officiating at their wedding is Rob Schneider as a nutty, myopic Asian minister. The stereotypical portrayal is offensive and unfunny. The conceit of falsifying themselves as a gay couple plays out in a sophomoric fashion full of predictable gags. When Larry first tells Chuck his idea, Chuck is incredulous. Then, in a feeble attempt to show how he's grown more sensitive near the movie's end, Chuck announces that he realizes that offensive terms hurt people and should be avoided. Perhaps he attended the same attitude rehab as Isaiah Washington? Most of the jokes fall flat or are just lamely, eye-rollingly corny. There's a long set-up to one of the moldiest gags: While Chuck and Larry are bathing at the firehouse with their colleagues in a communal shower (don't ask), someone drops a bar of soap and everyone avoids picking it up. There are jokes about "homopalooza", flamboyant shopping montages and a cringe-worthy mailman who, when he hears Larry is gay, brags about how he's famous for delivering "that special package." There's an awful cameo by David Spade and a rather funny one by Lance Bass, who sings at a gay wedding. Dan Ackroyd, who plays their boss, is given some of the worst lines of his career. No matter where you stand on gay marriage, there should be no controversy over the comedy-free coupling of Chuck and Larry. Go back and watch In and Out and see how the issue can be approached with comedic cleverness.

Digital China Announces FY2013/14 Interim Results
Leveraging Sm@rt City Strategy to Further Enhance Servicing Capabilities
Nov 19, 2013, 09:48 ET from Digital China Holdings Limited
HONG KONG, Nov. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Results Highlights:
For the six months ended 30 September 2013:
- Affected by lacklustre macro-economic and IT market conditions, the Group recorded turnover of approximately HK$33,629 million, decreased 10.09% year-on-year. Overall gross profit margin was 6.16%. Profit attributable to equity holders of the parent amounted to approximately HK$633 million. Basic earnings per share were 59.24 HK cents.
- Expenditure and operating expense ratio kept decreasing on the back of ongoing cost structure optimisation. Total operating expense decreased 9.15% year-on-year.
- Thanks to stringent risk control policies, net cash inflow from operating activities for the second quarter of the current financial year amounted to approximately HK$150 million, ensuring stable operation of the Group's business.
Digital China (the "Group"; Stock Code: 00861.HK; 910861.TW), the largest integrated IT services provider in China, today announced its consolidated interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2013 (the "Period").
The continuous slowdown in China's macro-economic growth since the 2012/13 financial year has resulted in unprecedented challenges for each IT sub-segment market and exerted obvious impacts on the Group's operations. The Group's management has devised an operating strategy focused on "Stabilizing Fundamentals, Adjusting Structures and Controlling Risks". While seeking to reinforcing leadership in our traditional strongholds, we also made proactive moves to adjust our business structure, strengthen the operation of high-value businesses and step up efforts to foster new niches for business growth in the emerging sectors. Meanwhile, the Group continued to enhance its Sm@rt City servicing capabilities to drive implementation at cities which had signed up for Sm@rt City. During the Period, the final inspection of the Wujiang Meat and Vegetable Circulation Tracking System was completed, while the Foshan integrated citizen services platform has become a major channel of citizen services for the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government of Foshan. Also, the Group continued to enrich the contents of Sm@rt City business through cooperation at capital level and setting up a joint venture in Nanjing to operate the citizen card business. These developments have further reinforced the Group's leadership in Sm@rt City expertise. During the second quarter of the current financial year, the Group invested HK$170 million to increase in the shareholding of HC International, Inc. (Stock Code: 08292.HK) and became the latter's single largest shareholder. This investment will allow the Group to accumulate experience for the expansion of its Internet business, while facilitating future business cooperation between the two companies.
Financial Review
From the beginning of this financial year, competition was intensifying in an increasingly complicated IT market, where the profiles of products and competition were rapidly changing amid continued doldrums. Affected by such factors, the Group reported revenue of approximately HK$33,629 million for the six months ended 30 September 2013, a decrease of 10.09% as compared to the corresponding period of last financial year. Overall gross profit margin for the first six months of the current financial year was 6.16%. For the six months ended 30 September 2013, profit attributable to equity holders of the parent amounted to approximately HK$633 million, a decrease of 14.58% as compared to the corresponding period of last financial year. Basic earnings per share amounted to 59.24 HK cents. Excluding one-off gain arising from the disposal of a subsidiary, profit attributable to equity holders of the parent for the second quarter of the current financial year actually increased by 22.20% as compared to the corresponding period of last financial year.
The Group reported consistent reductions in expenditure following proactive measures in cost structure adjustment, stringent expenditure control and organisational optimisation. For the six months ended 30 September 2013, the Group's total operating expense was 9.15% lower than that for the corresponding period of last financial year. During the second quarter of the current financial year, selling and distribution expenses and administrative expenses decreased by 20.91% and 39.23%, respectively, as compared to the corresponding period of last financial year. During the Period, the Group's trade receivables turnover days was 58.74 days, being 2.46 days longer as compared to the corresponding period of last financial year. The longer turnover period was attributable to the adjustments of the Group's business structure and the increase of businesses that have longer credit term. The progress of collecting receivables was also affected by complicated inspection and acceptance procedures owing to the diverse nature of certain projects. Taking into full account risks associated with market volatility, the Group implemented its risk management policy in a persistent manner. Net cash inflow from operating activities for the second quarter of the financial year amounted to approximately HK$150 million, providing an effective protection for the stable operation of the Group's business.

Business Review
Services Business (primary focus on the Industry Market, offering products and services in IT planning and IT systems consultation, design and implementation of industry application software and solutions, outsourcing of IT system operation and maintenance, as well as systems integration and maintenance)
During the current financial year, there was a trend of postponing IT procurement among industry customers amidst a macro-economic downturn. The Services Business reported stable growth with the effective support of the Group's persistent drive of customer plans and ongoing market development efforts in the financial and government & corporations sub-sectors, for which notable results have been achieved. During the Period, the Services Business of the Group reported revenue of approximately HK$3,738 million, a decline of 5.56% compared to the same period of last financial year. Revenue for the second quarter of the current financial year increased by 5.53% compared to the corresponding period of last financial year. Revenue generated from the financial sector increased by 5.11%, as we continued to roll out core system projects with large banks such as China Development Bank and signed up regional banks such as Jilin Bank, Anhui Rural Credit Union and Shaanxi Rural Credit Union as new customers. Revenue from the government & corporations sector grew by 39.33% as we strengthened relationships with strategic customers such as the State Grid Corporation of China and made progress in the expansion of businesses with the local tax bureaus of Ningbo, Qingdao and Tianjin.
During the Period, in persistent efforts to advance business transformation, the Group's Services Business continued to expand into businesses commanding high values and a high degree of stickiness, such as IT consultancy, industry application software and warranty services, and achieved steady growth in the proportion of pure Software and pure Services businesses. Meanwhile, the Group kept fostering project management capabilities in response to market volatility and changes in customers' requirements to enhance the controllability of project delivery. The Services Business reported gross profit margin of 15.77% for the first two quarters of the current financial year, which was stable as compared to the same period last year.
Distribution Business (primary focus on the SMB & Consumer Markets, engaging in the distribution of general IT products such as notebook computers, desktop computers, peripherals, accessories and consumer IT products)
The IT Consumer Market remained in doldrums in the second quarter, marked by a further dwindled market for PC notebooks amid the accelerated transformation in the product profile. Affected by this development, revenue from the Distribution Business of the Group for the first half of the financial year amounted to approximately HK$17,218 million, representing a decrease by 11.91% as compared to the corresponding period of last financial year. Revenue from the notebook business (excluding CES channel) decreased by 19.31% as compared to the corresponding period of last financial year. Overall gross profit margin of the Distribution Business was lower as compared to the corresponding period of last financial year following proactive adjustment of the CES business. Gross profit margin declined to 2.03% in aggregate for the first half of the current financial year.
During the Period, the Group proactively reinforced its business structure adjustments. While securing our existing market shares in traditional products, we increased our efforts in the development of mobile device business and achieved breakthroughs in such emerging business sectors. Significant growth was reported for the sales of Microsoft's Surface Tablet and Apple products, contributing to an 85% year-on-year growth in the sales of our mobile device business (excluding CES sales) in the second quarter. Meanwhile, the Group was also identifying opportunities in the market of Taobao e-commerce customers, in addition to ongoing progress in e-commerce coverage and continuous enhancement in strategic cooperation with core e-commerce customers.
Systems Business (primary focus on the Enterprise Market, offering value-added distribution of systems products such as servers, networking products, storage products and packaged software)
With the beginning of the 2013/14 financial year, the domestic Enterprise Market for IT infrastructure facilities continued to decline. The rise of domestic brands threatened the existing market profile, for which major international vendors reported slower or even negative growth. Affected by such factors, the Group's Systems Business reported revenue of approximately HK$12,015 million for the six months ended 30 September 2013, a 10.00% decline as compared to the corresponding period of last financial year. Gross profit margin of the Systems Business was lower owing to escalating market competition, decreasing to 8.07% for the second quarter.
In response to complicated market conditions, the Group's Systems Business assured its leadership in market shares for core product lines thanks to persistent efforts in market-share management. In the meantime, the Group continued to enhance its expansion into the package software and domestic brands. In the second quarter, revenue from package software recorded a growth of 18% as compared to the corresponding period of last financial year. Rapid growth was also reported for our business in domestic brands, as represented by Huawei. Sales of Huawei products have increased by 33% in the second quarter as compared to the corresponding period of last financial year.
Supply Chain Services Business (primary focus on the markets of Hi-tech Industries, Branded e-Commerce Platform Operators and Branded Services Providers, providing "one-stop" consultancy and execution in logistics, business flow, capital flow and information flow)
During the Period, the Group's Supply Chain Services Business seized opportunities arising from the rapid growth of the market for third-party logistics and made major moves to expand its logistics services business. Breakthroughs were achieved in the communications, automobile accessories and apparels sub-sectors, providing effective support for the substantial revenue growth of the Supply Chain Services Business. During the Period, the Supply Chain Services Business of the Group reported overall revenue of approximately HK$659 million, an increase by 19.85% compared to the same period of last financial year.
Our Supply Chain Services Business reported improvements in operating efficiency and business deployment as it continued to enhance its capabilities in warehousing, transportation, delivery and maintenance services. In the logistics business, we won the centralised logistics procurement bid from China Mobile's terminal company, securing business in 14 provinces including Guangdong and Zhejiang. Our outsourcing business with BYD increased to 60,000 square metres in terms of storage gross floor area and shifts in cities like Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing have been completed. In the maintenance business, we started Microsoft Surface tablet maintenance services during the second quarter, while signing up Xiaomi as customer. The maintenance cooperation with Yixun was also established. Meanwhile, our per-store profitability continued to improve with the number of profitable stores growing by 31% as compared to the same period of last financial year.
Market Outlook
Mr. Lin Yang, CEO of Digital China, said, "Given the enormous impact on the IT market of worsening macro-economic conditions in 2013, the Group's operations will continue to be adversely affected as a result. Against such complicated market conditions, we will review market developments and make necessary structural adjustments in line with new market trends and changes to accord with the long-term interests of the Company. At the same time, we will step up with the implementation of Sm@rt City in signed-up cities, while closely monitoring industry developments under the "Guidance for Facilitating the Healthy Development of Smart Cities" jointly prepared by 8 ministries and commissions to seize any opportunities for enriching its service contents that will benefit its overall objective of business transformation. We will also expedite the deployment of its Mobile Internet business and develop businesses with domestic brands in tandem with the changing profiles of the IT market, with the aim of mitigating the impact of market factors in order to assure sound business development and striving to enhance shareholders' value."

Do you think this is too extreme for a wedding?
I am having the WORST time figuring out what to do with my hair.
It should be noted that the dreads are MADE WITH YARN. So it's suitable for a knitting blog. Nyah.

Too extreme for your wedding, maybe. If you are not the bride, I say go for it.
It is your blog, after all. You're not required to talk about yarn every time. - 4:18 PM
- Z said...
I kind of like it.
- Will Pillage For Yarn said...
Oh if it were my wedding I'd totally wear them. *grin* I think that since the groom is a total rivethead and the bride is wearing a black corset, probably it's ok.
Besides. I haven't worn them out of the house yet. THey need breaking in. - 5:45 PM
- Inky said...
I wore huge hairpieces in black/fuschia/purple/blue at my wedding. and you look so HOT!! Mr. Inky and I think it's a great look and looks great on you. and the boots - woohoo, que sexy!! we would have totally invited you to our wedding!!
- Will Pillage For Yarn said...
Inky, who made your hairpieces? Did you make 'em yourself or buy them?
I made these, but some of the yarn came from my friend Ashbet at Psysheep and she totally showed me how to construct. She makes the most awesome dreads. - 9:54 PM
- Jill said...
I'd love it if you showed up with your yarn dreadlocks at my not-anytime-in-the-foreseeable-furture-wedding.
I also give the thumbs-up to the natural curly long hair look too. :-) - 11:03 PM
- Lick My Sticks said...
You'd have fit right in at my wedding! My brideslaves picked their own dresses of blood red, had extensions and opera gloves and corsets, whole 9.
I wore white just to be ironic.
;) Have fun at the wedding! - 8:48 AM

悬羊擂鼓 (The Sheepskin Drum)
About 悬羊擂鼓 (The Sheepskin Drum):
This section consists of a handful of trad climbs near the arete at the right end of the rock face that includes the Guoliang tunnel. One of the climbs goes all the way up; it is possible that others could be extended. The bottom of the routes consists of extremely wide cracks, and any belaying for the first pitch has to be done from the bushes to some degree. |
Approach: | As these routes are infrequently climbed, getting to them requires some bushwacking. There is a path off of the top hairpin below the Guoliang tunnel. The beginning of the path is difficult to find, but once on it, the correct path should be solid stone. This will lead to about 100 meters directly below the cliffs. This last 100 meters has to be bushwacked. |
Approach Time: | 1 hour from Guoliang |
Latitude, Longitude: | |
Access Issues: | No restrictions on climbing. There are park officials along the approach path checking entrance tickets. The approach path is tedious. |
Rock Type: | SandStone |
Type of Climbing: | |
Sun Aspect: |

What's so great about Tuitt...not seeing it. What sticks out to you? I don't agree with more than a few of your rankings, but definitely like a fresh look and a different perspective which you're offering. Seem low on Mack too, who I really like. Also Hageman?
When you think how many DEs and DTs are usually taken in round 1, it's pretty interesting to see how little consensus there is over whether anyone is a worthy first-rounder. I like Easley a lot I have to say, but he's torn both ACLs now and that has to be a concern. Donald can be unblockable in college, but I agree he could end up only being a nickel rotation player in the pros. DaQuan Jones is a guy I like a lot, but you'd struggle to put him in Round 1 territory.
It's really not a deep class for d-line at all.
I want to like Derek Carr (love the tools, the arm, the winning mentality), but I can't get enthusiastic about him as a high first round talent. I certainly would be very nervous drafting him to start in the coming season. He gets too pumped up and starts overthrowing everything. Way to jittery a player for me, not sufficiently in control of the adrenaline. When the NFL-level heat comes on, I don't like the thought of how that natural "nervous energy" would manifest itself. With a clipboard in his hands for a season or so he might calm down, but then I wouldn't be taking him in the top 10, or top 20 for that matter.
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better. - S. Beckett
this list was from before bowl season.. I am in the processing of updating it now and it looks a bit different. Will post a new thread by the end of the week. Thanks.
Like he's a nice guy to have, he'll etch out a nice long career but he doesn't have the explosiveness or versatility to warrant where he's getting pegged IMO. He's a top 15 guy most everywhere I've looked, to me he reminds me of a Kendall Langford type prospect. Really underwhelmed with his tape, no he put on some weight in his senior year after an injury but still.

05-12-2011, 12:10 AMThe DA screwed up and now they're in the cover thy ass mode.There Were no drugs or large cash stashes found in the house ,no evidence at all .Have the police ever barged into the wrong house in a drug raid ?The guy just got home from work when his wife woke him up .
Isn't a guy who hears noises in his back yard late at night wise to defend his family .In your case you sure are quick to jump on some stories but have problems interpolating others ?You sure would make one hell of a detective, Hercule Poirot .
If you care to follow the story and look for a large settlement from the county somewhere down the road after a wrongful death law suits forces their hand.
Was this a no-knock warrant? a lot of these police simply barge into the house by kicking in the door, expecting to catch the perp off gaurd. If this guy has had combat training it's not surprising he grabbed a weapon do defend his home. I understand police trying to defend themselves, but 71 shots in 7 seconds? That sounds like they were just unloading on him the moment they saw him.
Maybe that's not the case, but knowing how the police do shit in this country, it's not that surprising.Originally Posted by Adam Smith - Wealth of Nations

05-12-2011, 01:16 AMThats not true but sometimes even good cops screw up in the heat of a situation.You are quick to defend the police and sometimes seem to be excusing anything that they do as just ?
I'm sure that your job sours you to any critisim of police no matter what they do but face it, not all are good cops !Last edited by megimoo; 05-12-2011 at 01:30 AM.
So basically what you just said is that you completely ignored anything I've said in this post and focused on me condescending wee wee for a blanket comment he made about cops. Get a fucking clue. Oh, and yes, there are bad cops but reading these forums you'd think all cops are jack booted thugs because all you ever read on here are about the bad ones.

After a Tennessee three-and-out and some fancy footwork on a nice return by Terrence Austin, Johnathan Franklin took the ball and ran. And ran. And ran.
Franklin had two carries for 27 yards and Kevin Prince delivered an absolutely pristine pass to Logan Paulsen and UCLA set up Kai Forbath for his second field goal, a 41-yarder.

wikiHow to Create a Program in C Sharp
Three Parts:Set up (Windows way)Create your first program.Set up (Free software way)Community Q&A
C# is a great programming language, and all the tools you need to get started are free and easy to use. While C# is usually associated with Microsoft and closed source, Free software supporters just use DotGNU that delivers more or less the same basic knowledge and allows to study and modify internals without restrictions. The instructions below describe both "FOSS oriented" and "Windows oriented" approaches. C# is also used with .NET framework.
Part 1
Set up (Windows way)
1Go here to download your free copy of Visual C# 2010 Express Edition. Also available are the 2012 express products, but go with 2010 if you are looking for general c# development.
- Also, 2012 does not work without Windows 7/8.
2Run the downloaded executable and follow these steps:
- Next.
- I agree → Next.
- Select MSDN, not SQL → Next.
- Install.
Part 2
Create your first program.
1Run Visual C# 2010 Express Edition.
2Go to File → New → Project.
3Select Visual C# → Windows → Console Application.
4Press OK. You should see this:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { } } }
5Beneath static void Main(string[] args), after the first curly brace, type:
Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!"); Console.ReadLine();
6It should look like this:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!"); Console.ReadLine(); } } }
7Click the Run [►] button on the toolbar.
Congratulations! You created your first C# program!- This should have produced a console windows, reading Hello World!
- if it did not, then you did something incorrectly.
Part 3
Set up (Free software way)
1You need CVS and GNU build tools. This should be included into the majority of Linux distributions.
2Go to the DotGNU project (http://www.gnu.org/software/dotgnu/) that provides FOSS implementation of C#. Read the chapter about the installation. These instructions are simple to follow even for beginners.
3You can choose to get the source code and build you C# environment from scratch or you may try pre-compiled distributions first. The project is relatively easy to build from the source so we suggest to try this way first.
4Try to start some examples that also come in precompiled (.exe) form. For instance, FormsTest.exe will show large collection of various GUI controls. The folder pnetlib/samples contains the script ilrun.sh that can launch precompiled executables, for instance sh ./ilrun.sh forms/FormsTest.exe (from inside that folder).
5Under Linux, you can use KWrite or gedit to edit the C# code - the recent versions of both editors support the syntax highlight for this language.
6Figure out yourself how to compile the short example, given in the "Windows way" section. If the project web site does not provided enough documentation, try web search. If this does not help, post questions to the project mailing lists.
7Congratulations, you are both C# - aware and not bound to any single C# provider!
Community Q&A
Why do I need variables in C#?wikiHow ContributorVariables are used in C# to store information in the form of data. They may be used to store info for later use, to give different values at runtime or to show the logic and functionality of the code to create a "readable code."
What's the difference between original version and express edition? Will there be more options available in original version?
- If installing Visual C# 2010/2012 express, it will either automatically download or give you the option to do this.
- Visual C# 2005/2008 Express Editions comes with an option to install the Microsoft MSDN 2005 Express Edition. This is a great reference and can be accessed through Help:Contents or by highlighting a keyword and pressing F1. It is strongly recommended that you download and install the MSDN library.
- There are more good C# implementations than the two described here. Mono project may be interesting for you as well.
