I'll go crazy!That song was great, the guys took it to a completely different level.
27 August, 2011
I did go but.....but guess I am an old school fan. Even this tour can\'t top my first encounter with U2. U2 is and was my first \"love\" and will remain and I did enjoy the concert but just don\'t dig the stadium concerts. I don\'t need all the hoopla to be entertained, I just want to see 4 guys on stage playing their hearts out. I miss the \"old\" U2 but still love the music. I will never stop trying to go to gigs of my \"heroes\" from my past. Hope that one day they will return to their normal self and play smaller venues again.
20 July, 2010
1st time!It was magnificent! Not only because it was my first time I saw U2, but also because.... it was a great show!! I'm 14 years old so it's a shame I didn't know U2 earlier than 2007..... But the show was awsome!!
28 June, 2010
magic soundthat's you...... thank you for this beautiful night.....
27 May, 2010
Fantastic - we were in front of the stagWas there with a friend Vivienne. For her it was the first time that she went to a U2 gig. I asume she is an addict now!! She couldn't imagine what a great impact it has on your musiclife. After Amsterdam I was in Dublin with NZ friends and in Chicago with my friend for life Jason. For me this was one of the best ones... when you're in front of the stage the sound it's so much better. And you feel the vibes from the band and the crowd. Amazing. I am sure they will be performing till they have the age of 100 something.... Keep on Rocking Evie ps have great pics but size too big
21 October, 2009
A trip to heaven and back!We waited all our lives. We travelled 30000 miles all the way from Bombay, India to watch U2 Live. At Amsterdam Arena, we were finally in the presence of the lords and their might. The stage, the lights, the sound, the anthems, the antics, the crowd, the moment and now the memories. We were in heaven!

Rolling JosIt is already some time ago now but still have very good memories of this concert. It was spectacular to see U2 live again and this time my daughter joined us as well. A great show and the sound was for a stadium very good. Hope you guys will come back next year to Amsterdam again. Then I will be there for sure! Keep Rolling! Jos
17 September, 2009
Amazing AmazingWent to Amsterdam, What a city, Then it was time to see my favourite band U2 and what a show.. Got up really close and was shocked at the size of the stage... Been to Slane, that holds a special place thanks to the DVD and been to the last three shows in Croke park back in 2005 but this was amazing and i was smiling all the way to Dublin to see the Friday and Sat show then back home to Cork. Thanks lads great great show, the only pity is, ye will never see yourselves in concert like you fans to truly see how amazing ye are.
27 July, 2009
Faraway so close...For the first time in 4 years we 'meet' again, so nervous I could hardly eat anything. We sat pretty close, but they still were far away, will I ever have a close encounter? Hope so, dreaming on. The show was extatic I think. Loved the intro, almost in tears with In a little while, Unknown caller was miraculous and The Unforgettable Fire... Need I say more? Jumping on the cm2 on Where The Streets Have No Name and surrendered... at the Moment of Surrender. So gload we will see them twice, CU tomorrow! Over-enthousiastic perhaps, so let it be ;-) I was in heaven for 2 nights and thank god (or whoever) for internet :-)
23 July, 2009
Walk on!Great performance of I'll go crazy with Larry on the drum. Thanks for getting tickets via U2.com. I would not missed it.
23 July, 2009
what a trip!Just back to UK after a trip to the Dam to see the gig on Monday night. What a fantastic gig, thought the atmosphere was going to be a bit lacking at first but it soon rocked up...first gig outside the UK and trying to remember how many times seen you guys live now (first time at Elland Road, Leeds in 87!)...now counting the days till Sheffield next month for the next instalment!
22 July, 2009
360 ViewWe were a bit naughty and managed to get a number of views of the band from various parts of the stadium. The stage set is awesome and allows for everyone to enjoy the show, real credit to the designers and of course Bono,Edge, Larry and Adam...thank you for putting on an awesome gig
22 July, 2009
Awsome stage and concertAfter 2 days still enjoying the thoughts. After all these years still the best rock band in the world. Keep on going!

22 July, 2009
Been at better!Big U2 fan but was kind of let down with the first Amsterdam concert, thought the atmosphere was poor. Closed roof didn't help the sound. Crazy tonight remix isn't a patch on the original - why ruin a great song! 360 design brillant but the boys spent most of the time in the centre stage....
21 July, 2009
MagicI attended last night's performance in Amsterdam. For me it was my 4th U2 concert ever to have experienced. The '93 ZooTV tour was the first and I can say there was no dissapointment what so ever. The stage, sound and visuals were amazing. My hart beated at the sound of Larry's drums, Bono's voice crawled under my skin, Edges guitar and Adam's bass were ringing in my head. It was truly a magical night. Thanx for once more a truly magnificent experience!!!!!
21 July, 2009
Loved itMy first time at a U2 concert. I was expecting a great night despite being way in the back, but you guys really blew me away even more than I expected! You are truly the greatest band in the world!
21 July, 2009
BEST ROCKGROUP IN THE WORLD!!!I'have been yesterday to the concert,and it was in ONE word,FANTASTIC!!! ooo,what an great evening/night it was! I'll remember this night for a long time.

21 July, 2009
what a show!!!!!!!!!!great sound, perfect light, great audience. is there anyone who can tell how these four irish guys achieve it to create something new from tour to tour. thank you U2
21 July, 2009
Baby, light my way!With the adrenaline still going strong from last nights experience, I just want to say: MAGNIFICENT on all accounts!!! (plus: thanks for playing Ultraviolet, that was electical, guys!)
21 July, 2009
AmazingI'm still not back on earth! The sound was really good compared to 4 years ago. Your technicians did a good job! Being there together with my 24-year old son made it even more special. Come back soon!
21 July, 2009
A great night with U2I was a little afraid before the show about the sound in the Arena.But beyond my expectations the sound was very good en the show was amazing.Thank you guys for all your great music and enthousiasm,I had a wonderful evening with the greateast rock band ever. Rob From Ridderkerk
21 July, 2009
next time please in Rotterdam (KUIP)enjoyed the concert! beautiful stage but the sound in the Amsterdam ArenA is not good. Never has been. Despite i'm an Ajax-fan i prefer feyenoord stadium De Kuip for a superband as U2. U2 and their fans deserve better than the ArenA!
sandra anderson
21 July, 2009
A night to remember4 hours of traffic jam just to get there and 5 hours return journey. Worth every second! I'll go crazy if i don't see a second show soon. Man, you guys simply rock! i'm sure the staduim move with the rhythm when you played!
21 July, 2009
AMAZINGWe were just in front of the stage.... which side. Awsome .... everybody had an amazing view, the whole show. I love a lot of bands but U ... U2 are still the greatest. Thank u for the One message. It is helpfull for me to Walk On and not giving up the projects I am in. C U in Dublin Have a pleasant stay in Amsterdam E
21 July, 2009
Amsterdam Arena sounds great!It was my first live-show since Zoo-tv. Me and my girl went totally crazy last night. Get On Your Boots really blew the roof off of the Arena, yet another great live rock song. Magnificient. Allthough I really miss my altime favourite combi Bullet The Blue Sky/Running To Stand Still. Thanx to all the technicians to make the Arena sound so good! You've done a great job.
21 July, 2009
Rare songs please !!!Fantastic show, best band ever but one BIG request for the future: Please stop playing the likes of Pride or Sunday Bloody Sunday (fanstactic songs but too much heard live and I could feel the band's drop of energy at that moment as in Paris). Give space for more surprises (Electric Storm, 11 o clock tick tock, Stay, Please ... there are so many!)!! You public is made 100% of fans who know all your songs by heart. Please surprise them !!!!
21 July, 2009
Amazing!!!I was there last night and it was truly an amazing evening!!! I had a great time and the show was incredible! But I was a little dissapointed that Bono didn't spend any time at the (for him) right side of the stage... I hope he did read my 'Bono, I love you!' sign!

First off, thank you from the bottom of my heart to every one of you for an outstanding 2011 year here on SA. Every year we continue to grow and this past one was our biggest yet to say the least. We have come so far from that special day back in 2006 when Danny first started up SA that it still just amazes me. You guys are the reason we are where we are today, and where we are headed in the future.
The off season has officially begun for us now. Our normal Sunday afternoon and Monday night routine will go back to "your regularly scheduled program" rather than watching our Steelers play while we hang out in the Game Day threads. Incidentally, the total number of posts for the 2010 season in the gameday thread, 12,988!
While the offseason is a time where fan sites typically see a drop in traffic, you guys continue to come by daily and we look forward to hanging out together this coming offseason. There will be plenty of news to talk about as the NFL & NFLPA try to work out a CBA, free agency, the draft, and then with mini camps, OTA's etc. right up until the training camp starts this July.
We look forward to spending time with you even though our Steelers aren't on TV anymore for awhile. Don't forget, there are so many ways to stay in the know with SA. During the offseason the news isn't as frequent as it is of course during the season so be sure to utilize all the resources available.
-The homepage & forums: The mothership itself, the homepage and forums are always open 24/7 and always up to date with the latest news, notes, and happening on the Steelers and the NFL. This is the heartbeat and soul of SA, the place where you give us your thoughts and we breakdown our Steelers in our own unique way.
-Facebook - Our Facebook page has over 4300 members and is always a fun place to hang out. We post up news there everyday and all the fans love to interact with us.
-Twitter - We started Tweeting early in the 2010 season and it's grown by leaps and bounds. We auto tweet up news from SA and around the web 24/7 plus myself and AZ Steeler periodically tweet during the day to interact with all the great people that follow us and the #steelers tag line.
-Blog - a new venture on SA, the SA blog features articles from myself, steeldad, and others here on SA in a blog format. Gaining in popularity every day, the blog is a nice compliment to the forums.
-BlitzburghRadio - The newest feature on SA, the weekly podcasts have been a lot of fun as we start really finding our groove with the show formats and special guests. We will do a show this coming Tuesday to wrap up the super bowl and the 2010 season. Then we'll do one atleast once a month during the offseason, and more here and there depending on the latest news.
We also have some offseason behind the scenes projects to work on like upgrading some forum software, some new banners, icons, avatars, etc. So there is a lot to do and a lot to look forward too.
Thanks again everyone and we look forward to an interesting offseason on the site as we watch our Steelers prepare for 2011.

A Billion Dollar Shot

Z2Live CEO David Bluhm — a veteran Seattle entrepreneur and gaming executive — likes to say that his company batted three for three in 2011. And it's hard to argue with those metrics. The maker of MetalStorm, TradeNations and Battle Nations saw each of its titles soar to success this year.
"We took all three of our games to top grossing on iTunes, and we are pretty proud of that. It doesn't get too much better than that," said Bluhm, whose 60-person company is now crammed in about 4,800 square-feet of office space.
Even more impressive, Bluhm and his rapidly growing team have rolled out new games for the iPhone while building a very profitable business. The co-founder of Medio Systems and HandsOn Mobile raised $2.5 million from Madrona and Draper Fisher Jurvetson in March, saying that the investment was more about "chemistry" with the investors than it was about the money.
You got to believe that. After all, Z2Live is minting money, turning a profit each month for the past year. "We have been very healthy. We have very good margins, and that allows us to invest in great games and take our time and make them right," he said.
Just like fellow GeekWire 2011 Newsmakers PopCap Games, Bluhm is focusing on quality rather than quantity.
"We want to make five star games, and we will insist on making fewer higher-quality games, always with innovation," said Bluhm, who turned 50 this year and jokes that he's too old for the entrepreneurial lifestyle.
Thinking about that for a moment, Bluhm retreated from the statement. "It is what I love to do. It is a lot of fun. It keeps me young," he said.
Newsmakers at the GeekWire Gala
We'll be recognizing more than 20 Newsmakers of 2011 during the GeekWire Gala, Dec. 8 at the Great Hall at Seattle's Union Station. We'll introduce a new Newsmaker every weekday leading up to the big event.
The night is also a celebration of "Geeks who Give Back," recognized in a special GeekWire 2012 Calendar that will be given to attendees, with a share of sponsorship proceeds going to the Child's Play charity.
Tickets are available here for the event.
Thanks to our sponsors Zillow, Bing, Filter, Facebook, thePlatform and Barokas PR for helping to make this special evening possible.

It's true that you can't always win, but I have a feeling that it's quite possible to always lose. Slogging through a bit of a losing streak myself, it certainly seems that way at least. My apricot ice cream lost, although I'm not the least bit surprised, having watched first-hand as the tally of my competitors' votes swelled into impressive numbers, while my own inflated temporarily only to burst and collapse like a cheap inflatable pool toy. I've given up on entering blog raffles, as the suspense kills me and by the time some one else's name is announced, you're just beating a dead horse over here. Nope, I have better things to pin my hopes to. Even though I haven't officially heard back from the lovely folks at Whole Foods about the most recent contest of theirs that I entered, I have no doubt that a gentle letter of rejection is sure to arrive any moment.
The premise for this contest was simple enough; Make a healthy meal for $4 or less per serving. No problem, that's pretty much the norm around here anyways. Savories still aren't my forte though, so taking the safer route, I whipped up a tasty tofu dish and an easy pilaf. Admittedly, the tofu was rather forgettable- Delicious, yes, but nothing to write home about. It was that pilaf, a bulgur pilaf to be exact, that really got my appetite going. I even contemplated sending in an entry of only the pilaf, since it's a good balance of protein, grains, and veg if you ask me, and I'm all for one-dish meals as well.
Ginger, garlic, and miso make up a flavorful broth, which toothsome whole grain bulgur is only too happy to soak up. Rounded out by some nutty almonds and bright green peas, it's a simple yet comforting dish that is agreeable to just about every palate. It might not win any awards, but it's a keeper in my book.
Miso Bulgur Pilaf
1 Cup Bulgur Wheat
1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
2 Cloves Garlic, Finely Minced
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Ginger
1/2 Teaspoon Lemon Zest
1 Teaspoon Low-Sodium Soy Sauce
2 Tablespoons Brown Rice Miso Paste
1 3/4 Cups Water
1/4 Cup Frozen Peas, Thawed
1/2 Cup Whole Almonds, Toasted
1 Tablespoon Chopped Chives
Heat a dry skillet over the stove and toss in the bulgur. Toast for about 10 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to keep the bulgur moving, until it smells nutty and turns slightly darker brown. Pour the grains out onto a plate, and place the emptied skillet back over the heat.
Add in the oil, garlic and ginger, and cook for just a minute or two until the spices have browned a bit. Stir in the lemon zest, soy sauce, and miso paste, breaking up any lumps that may form. Stand back a bit while slowly pouring in the water, as it may hiss and splash slightly. Scrape everything off the bottom if it's sticking, and add your toasted bulgur into the mix, along with the peas. Turn down the heat, cover, and let simmer for 15 minutes. If all of the liquid hasn't been absorbed by then, simply continue to cook over low heat, uncovered, until it has all evaporated.
Let stand for 5 minutes off the heat, and stir in the almonds and chives.
Serves 2 as a main dish, 4 as a side.

This week's drool worthy book comes from NYT Bestselling author Larissa Ione! Can you guess what I'm waiting on? Warning, if you have not read Lethal Rider...just the blurb of Rogue Rider may be a spoiler for you!
Author: Larissa Ione
Publisher: Piatkus (UK) | Grand Central Publishing (US)
Release Date: 20th November 2012
Series: Lords of Deliverance, Book 4
Blurb from Goodreads:
The prophecies were there but no one listened. Until now. They are the Lords of Deliverance and they have the power to ward off Doomsday . . . or let it ride.
Jillian Cardiff came to this remote mountain town to forget the demon attack that almost killed her. Instead, she rescues - and falls for - a gorgeous stranger who has no memory of anything other than his name. Handsome, charming and protective, Reseph seems like the kind of man that Jillian can trust. But with hints of a troubling history of his own, he's also the kind of man that can be very dangerous . . .
Reseph may not know his background, or why he mysteriously appeared in Jillian's life, but he knows he wants to stay. Yet when Jillian's neighbours are killed and demon hunters arrive on the scene, Reseph fears that he's putting Jillian in danger. And once it's revealed that Reseph is also Pestilence, the Horseman responsible for ravaging the world with death and destruction, he and Jillian must face the greatest challenge of all: can they forget the horrors of a chilling past to save the future they both desire?
Why am I waiting on it?
Well I'm currently devouring Lethal Rider and am loving it so far. As much as I love the 'good' horsemen, I've always been intrigued by Reseph...wondered what he was like before the events that broke his seal. Reseph is always described as the most easy going of the bunch - the kinder brother if you will (mainly followed by allusions to how bad the others would be if their seals broke considering Pestilence is redefining evil). I am a big fan of Larissa Ione's writing, both her LOD and Demonica series are some of my all time favourites! The humour in these never fails to make me laugh and they are always action packed. Much Love for Larissa Ione over here :) Fingers crossed we'll see more of Wraith in Rogue Rider...and maybe more of Reaver?! Man those guys are yummy :)
Alright, drop me a comment and let me know what you're waiting on this week!

Jeannette grandmother lectures masked gunmen who break into her home
'Go ahead and shoot me. You won't get anything then,' victim tells gunmen
A Jeannette grandmother's quick thinking led police to quickly identify two masked gunmen who broke into her home Sunday night, investigators said.
Margie, 62, of Jeannette, said she was preparing eggplant Parmesan when she heard a loud crash inside her home.
|| VIDEO: Watch Ashlie Hardway's Report ||
"My air conditioner was kicked through the window, and two guys were jumping through my window all dressed in black with guns," she said. "I said, 'What the hell are you guys doing here?' They proceeded to tell me I had a safe, they wanted the money, they wanted the jewels I had and they're waving a gun in my face."
Margie said instead of complying with their demands immediately, she told them what they were doing was wrong.
"I'm just fed up with being taken advantage of and seniors being taken advantage of, and I started lecturing them like I do my son," she said. "I think they were a little shocked."
After a few minutes, Margie said one of the suspects pointed a gun at her head. Police later discovered it was an Airsoft gun.
"He stuck the gun to my temple, against my head. I got really upset and I told him, 'Go ahead. You want to shoot? Shoot. Then you'll never get anything out of the safe because nobody else knows the combination,'" Margie said. "When I told them, 'Go ahead and shoot me. You won't get anything then,' their eyes got real big because I don't think anyone's ever told them that before."
Eventually, Margie led them upstairs to the safe. She said she gave them what little cash she had, as well as coins and jewelry, including her mother's wedding rings.
"After we got the stuff out of the safe, the guy grabbed a bunch of stuff, he headed out the door, I went down right behind him. I followed him out the door," she said. "The door wasn't even shut yet and I had 911 on the phone."
Within minutes, Jeannette police officer Justin Scalzo spotted a vehicle a few blocks away with two men inside who matched the suspects' description. He pulled the vehicle over, but said once he exited the vehicle, the driver sped away.
"Any good police officer will tell you they had the proverbial 'deer in headlights' look. They made eye contact with me and they hurried and looked straight ahead. My gut instinct said there was something up with this car," Scalzo said.
After a brief chase, Scalzo and other officers located the suspects. Jeannette K-9 Falco cornered suspect Joshua Churchfield, who remains in the Westmoreland County Prison following his arrest. Police are still looking for suspect Chad Snyder, who has been known to frequent the Rostraver and Smithton areas.
Investigators believe Margie may have met a man through her volunteer work who told Churchfield and Snyder that she had valuables in her home. Margie said she hired a man to do yard work for her, and he was aware of the safe inside her home.
"Right now we are investigating if there was a third party who had direct knowledge what this victim kept in her house," Scalzo said. "We believe a third person we may be investigating into is from Jeannette and may have lured these two in and gave them a tip that this person had some valuables they'd be able to turn into quick cash."
"I'm tired of being taken advantage of. Senior citizens don't have that much income, then these kids come around on drugs and alcohol, and they want what you've worked all your life for," Margie said.
Anyone with information on Snyder's whereabouts should call Jeannette police at 724-527-4013.

Proposed tip Please edit this page to improve it, or add your comments below (do not use the discussion page).
One of the basic features that make Vim a powerful editor is the scripting facility, often called vimscript. It allows many authors to write countless plugins and scripts that can integrate Vim with any software or system you can think of, and allow Vim to be customized in any way you need.
The language still uses the original ed / ex / vi commands. These commands are standard tools today, in the current POSIX specification (Portable Operating System Interfaces), and scripts of ex commands can be used as diff and patch format, or to perform line-oriented text manipulation.
You can see that ex scripts have a different purpose than most Vim scripts today. They are used for text manipulation tasks outside ex/vi/vim, unlike the kind of usage in current Vim scripts, which is to modify/improve/affect Vim itself. Lets consider the usual Vim scripts (plugin/syntax/compiler/indent and others) as "internal" scripts, and the ex scripts would be "command" or "external" scripts.
Now the nice thing is, Vim can of course run ex scripts. Vim is also a command language that can run external command scripts (other than plugins and syntax files). And Vim can use the extended vimscript language, a super-set of ex, so Vim turns into a real interpreter, like the ones for other languages. Add to that that it can even invoke python and other languages, too.
Needless to say, for any text processing task Vim can be a powerful command tool.
Vim running in ex modeEdit
-e and
-E options on the command line put Vim in "ex" mode (also reachable with
gQ in Vim), where all input to the program consists of ex and vimscript commands, like in a language interpreter. The difference between the two options is that
-E introduces command-line editing and history (called improved ex mode) to the plain ex mode selected with
-e. However command scripts do not use the command-line editing features and are often run with
vim -e.
Even with Ex mode you still get an edit window open in Vim, also when running in a terminal, which is not quite as expected from a language interpreter. For this Vim also accepts the
-s command line options when in ex mode, to run in silent (batch) mode (outside ex mode there is another, unrelated, -s option). This has several effects:
- you will not see an edit window when running the editor
- all output is suppressed by default, except for some specific commands. This suppresses error messages, too.
- default initialization from ~/.vimrc and ~/.gvimrc is suppressed. Note the side-effect that without a .vimrc file Vim stays in compatible mode (vi-only), which is not what you want.
- if any error occurs, the exit code from Vim (at the end of the script) will be non-zero.
This is mostly a good approach to running Vim as a system interpreter, except for some aspects that need more attention:
- for any non-trivial program, suppressing error output will take down any kind of development effort. This can be changed by explicitly setting verbose level on the command line, most likely to 1 with
- Vim is not at all friendly in vi-compatible mode, so we want the
-Noption on the command line, to explicitly start Vim in non-compatible mode and get all the new extra features from Vim
- while we are discussing command line, we may also include certain other options:
-i NONEwill make Vim ignore the viminfo file
-nwill make Vim use no swap file.
-u NORCand
-U NONEare on the same category as the others above, but they are implied by
One more thing needed to run Vim as an interpreter is to pass a script file on the command line and have Vim exit when the script finishes. This is traditionally achieved with input/output redirection, where the standard input stream is redirected from the script file to be run. But for an interpreter you would expect to pass in the script file also by name, not only with redirection. Technicaly this has the advantage that script can make use of the standard input, whereas in case of redirection the standard input is already taken for script code. For this we use the
-S srcfile option to source the given file, or even
-S %, to source the first file argument present on the command line. About quitting Vim, it is possible to use
:qall! at the end of the script. But using
-c "qall!" option on the command line is a better way. This way the script only has to deal with the task it performs (instead of interpretter startup/shutdown), and can be re-used and included in other scripts without implicitly ending the Vim session.
To summarize, run Vim as a language interpreter like this:
vim -i NONE -u NORC -U NONE -V1 -nNesS script-cmd -c'echo""|qall!' -- args...
echo "" is here for another reason: in vimscript, echo commands start each line with an end-of-line indicator, instead of ending each line with an eol, as you would expect in a terminal. So an additional
:echo "" is included before the end of the script. Sometimes a space is needed instead of the empty string.
As you can see this article refers to the console (text-mode) version of Vim, vim.exe, but the approach is valid for the GUI version gvim.exe, too.
Interpreter invocationEdit
To (compose and) invoke the above command line, Linux and Windows systems have different approaches. Lets take Linux first (because Linux is free, and also because the solution is easier here :)
On POSIX systems it is possible to compose a carefully crafted shebang line, approximately equivalent to the above command line. The shebang line is a special line that:
- is the first line in the script
- starts with the sharp-bang (shebang) characters
- names the interpreter appropriate for that script, and one possible interpreter argument
- is used by the command shell (usually sh or bash) as the command to be used for running the script
Of course, as the first line in the file, it is also the first line read by Vim when sourcing the file. But Vim knows about shebang lines, and vimscript specifies that a Vim command that starts with
#! is ignored (try it). A shebang line can include the interpreter name, in this case /usr/bin/vim, and one possible argument. The command line above has more than one option flags and operands, but hopefully can be rewritten to better serve a shebang line. Remember that by the POSIX standard the following hold true:
- more than one option flags can be concatenated in a single command line argument, as long as only one of them at most, last in group, takes an operand. This is how in the above command the flags
-nNesS script-cmdappear in one argument with one operand
- the flags and the operand may also be concatenated together in one command line argument
So we could also write
-nNesSscript-cmd. The
-S script-cmd can be written as
-c 'source script-cmd', which can further be merged with the next
-c option, so we can write a single command argument:
-nNesc'source % | echo "" | qall!'
The script name and any script arguments will automatically follow this argument, when the command line is composed by the shell, so the included
source % will source the script. We still need the
-i NONE and
-V1 arguments, and they can be written as Vim commands to a
-c option, like:
-c 'let &viminfo=""|let &verbose=1'
On a shebang line there is no need for quoting (it makes sense, it can have at most one argument specified), so drop the apostrophes, merge the two
-c options, and come up with the following shebang line at the start of the script:
#!/usr/bin/vim -nNesc:let&verbose=1|let&viminfo=""|source%|echo""|qall!
For POSIX and Linux systems, the above line is all you need.
File type associationEdit
For Windows systems a file association is normally used to associate an interpreter with a file. Actually that associates the interpreter with an entire type of files, so we need a file extension to use for our ex scripts, like for example ".exim".
".exim" stands for "ex improved" (mentioned above) and Vim could also be installed with that executable name *:help exim, in addition to the "vim" name.
The extension ".vim" might be a good choice also, but for the moment there are a lot of Vim plugin developers used with the .vim extension to mean Vim plugin or syntax files (internal scripts), and they may or may not like the idea that pressing Enter on a .vim file now means the file will be sourced by Vim.
Extension ".ex" is another intuitive choice, but a web search will show the programing language Euforia is using it.
Creating a new file association is detailed in Windows file associations. In our case we also want to add the file extension to the PATHEXT environment variable, and maybe include a Vim icon for the file type. On Windows Vim is not necessarily found on PATH, normally the install directory is found in the registry, and the directory is dependent Vim version.
If you get into all the details, setting up a file type association by scripting can be complicated (and may also require privileges), and is normally achieved by application installers or other application code. However since Vim installer on Windows does not register a file type to be handled with the command line we need, a good choice is to create the association right from your script. The mkvimball plugin includes the code to register a new file type on Windows, and provides the command line options for the task. You can include (or source) it in other scripts mostly as it is, if you only change the last
:call statement at the end of the file to append one additional argument to the function, with the value "1". See also the project repository at http://code.google.com/p/dbgp-client/. The script performs actions like:
- request elevation when installing the file type for all users
- notify the Windows shell (when possible), to refresh file type icons
- install a command script that searches Vim dir in the registry or in %ProgramFiles%
- adds the extension to %PATHEXT% variable. The per-user variable value first includes the system %PATHEXT% value.
Wrapper .cmd scriptEdit
Windows file type associations are only in effect on the computer they have been configured. If you want to distribute a Vim command script, you may distribute a wrapper .cmd script that only invokes Vim with the proper command line to run the ex script. Again, you can instead write your Vim command script to generate this wrapper, with a special option. Some of the install issues mentioned above for file type associations, like locating Vim installation directory, apply to this approach too. You can use the mkvimball.vim script (Vim script 4219), that includes the option to generate wrapper scripts for Windows cmd.exe. This is generally the most flexible solution, although not an elegant one.
Vim is primarily a text editor, and the scripting feature is only a facility. At the time of writing this article Vim was not truly meant to run as a full language interpreter integrated in the system, so you still need to observe a number of difficulties if you choose to write Vim command scripts:
- Arguments to your script are really arguments to Vim. If you want arguments for the script only, the command line must use
--to separate the script name from the rest of the arguments.
- At the verbose level of 1, mentioned above, Vim will output messages in the console, whenever loading files or for other operations, so the script itself is responsible only for part of the output text. You can use
:silentcommands or a verbose level of 0, but that will also suppress errors (not recommended).
- There is no easy way to echo a multi-line string. All you can do is iterate over the lines in the string and echo each one at a time.
- In a try| ... |catch block the echoerr statement raises an exception and breaks your code block. In case of error you should only count on the first echoerr line that you output, to reach the user.
- You can use standard input in a command script if you :call input(), but Vim should never see an end-of-file there, or it will immediately exit your script. This is presumably because in "ex" mode Vim expect to read commands from the standard input. Some systems in such situation use the convention that a single line with only a dot character in indicates end-of-input.
- for some versions of Vim running on Windows, some commands (:normal "ggdd", :call input()) may still scramble the screen on occasion (by moving the cursor around), even though a Vim window is not visible.
- on Cygwin vim.exe is currently a symlink to gvim.exe. When the shebang line is used in a terminal, Vim will try to reach an X server, and will output some error in the process. As a result your command script will always return with an error, even if it actually succeeds. This is a problem in Makefiles, and using the explicit command line may be needed.

Phil Jackson talks Lakers, his future, Dwight Howard, more
Phil Jackson hasn't said much publicly since he was passed over for the Lakers' coaching job in favor of Mike D'Antoni. And he did not use a 60-minute conversation over breakfast last week to launch fusillades against the Lakers. But he did have some comments about the Lakers and a few other things, too.
Some of Jackson's comments appeared in a Sports Illustrated story running this week. (Click here to subscribe to the magazine.)
Jackson wasn't wearing any of his 11 coaching rings on this morning (he also has two as a player from the Knicks), but the subject came up because his book coming out in May is titled Eleven Rings. His favorite, incidentally, is the 1996 ring, the first one of the Bulls' second three-peat, not because of anything that happened during the season, but because it is "the least ostentatious," with a simple four trophies on it.
Note that the interview took place while Dr. Jerry Buss was still alive and in the hospital. Certainly I would've asked Jackson something about the legacy of Dr. Buss, who hired him (twice) and is the father of his longtime companion, and now fiancée, Jeanie Buss, who runs the Lakers' business operations.
One final thing: Jackson has seven grandchildren, from two other marriages, and gave up the fact that Jeanie now allows herself to be called "Granny."
SI: Do you watch a lot of games? Do you have the NBA package?
Phil Jackson: I just got it last week at Jeannie's insistence. She didn't want people thinking that her boyfriend is so poor he can't get all the NBA channels.
SI: Do you take notes in case, you know, future jobs arise?
Jackson: I sometimes take notes. I have some people who have come to me and ask, "Would you watch my team, see if you can pick anything up?" Four or five teams, plus the Lakers. [He wouldn't identify the other teams.] So while I'm not officially in the consulting business, it might come in handy sometime.
[Photo Gallery: Phil Jackson through the years]
SI: You've been away from the game for two years. Do things change quickly in the league?
Jackson: Not really. It's a mimic league. It has been for a long time. Coaches see something and say, "Oh, that's hard to defend. Maybe we'll run that." Screen-roll. Three-point shooters in the corner. Bigs that can roll and pop. San Antonio has a system, a way of doing things, and maybe a couple others. But most everybody runs that screen-roll.
SI: How does the game look to you? Similar from team to team?
Jackson: Yes. Basketball is a simple game. Your goal is penetration, get the ball close to the basket, and there are three ways to do that. Pass, dribble and offensive rebound.
The easiest one is -- or should be -- the pass. But the new rules allow you to throw more people at post-up players. NBA basketball is a big man's game, and in the past they protected that aspect of the game. Well, those rules went out the window and what they didn't do was consider this: If they're going to continue to allow zone defenses to work and shut down the paint, then they have to put six more seconds on the shot clock. A 30-second clock. But they're so attached to the idea of the 24-second clock that it doesn't happen.
SI: Did you bring it up when you were coaching?
Jackson: All the time, all the time. But general managers always dominated those competition committees. Anyway, it [allowing limited zones] has eliminated some of the post passing and made dribbling a major part of our game. As a result, I think people forgot that there are still ways you can get the ball inside rather than just standing there and throwing the ball in. You have to have a system that makes all things work. Pop [San Antonio's Gregg Popovich] has that.
SI: How would you describe that system?
Jackson: Popovich made significant growth 10 years ago or so after David Robinson left. It had been pretty stilted. You know, two big guys. A lot of stuff he does represents the triangle offense. They flow into it a different way. Strong-side triangle. Pinch-post action. Some of it may have come about because we were going at each other all the time in the playoffs and he had to defend against it.
SI: When you won three consecutive titles [2000-02] with Shaq and Kobe, you ran the triangle. But didn't you also get a lot of screen-rolls out of that?
Jackson: Yes, and it came naturally out of the offense. Or it might be a "special." We always had some of those.
SI: When you look at the Lakers now, considering that they've had a lot of personnel changes and injuries, what do you see?
Jackson: They just don't put the ball in the post. They'll use a screen-roll to get the guy in the post. But there's no consistent plan to do it. Yes, Kobe will go in there. But Dwight [Howard] just doesn't get any touches. They've basically eliminated his assets.
[Jordan picks Kobe over LeBron]
SI: But wouldn't his assets be rolling off the screen-roll, with either [Steve] Nash or Kobe?
Jackson: You want the ball 10 feet away from the basket. Throw it into the post, make them double-team and have everybody around to make shots. That's what Shaq could do. That's where you have the Robert Horrys, the Derek Fishers and the Rick Foxes sitting out there getting wide-open jumpers.
SI: But Dwight is not Shaq in that aspect of the game, drawing the double team and finding people. Isn't that true?
Jackson: I think he can be. But he is not where he needs to be physically because of the back surgery. He needs a year to recover from something like that. He's starting to come around, but he has a massive upper body to carry around. He's a terrific athlete, but he still has to get all that back. He's looking better all the time, but his problem right now is turnovers. He's got to have a little better recognition, and that will help him gain the confidence of his teammates and coach, which he does not have now.
SI: How about when Pau Gasol comes back? There seemed to be some problems when they were out there together.
Jackson: Well, what is the problem? We won two championships that way [with two big men]. Pau is one of the best big men in the game. I mean, Pau Gasol is going to be in the Hall of Fame.
SI: Hmm, I love his game, but I don't know about that.
Jackson: He has won European titles with Spain, [he won] two NBA championships. I think he will.
SI: As far as the Lakers go, haven't they been improving?
Jackson: Yes, I think they are finding a way to play. And that's nice to see. Steve has had to sacrifice because Kobe is dominating the ball, but Kobe is showing he can be both playmaker and scorer. Now it's about defense. And I think that's coming around. They make the playoffs, I think they've shown they're going to be in it with every team.
SI: Do you ever feel compelled to catch a game live at Staples Center?
Jackson: I haven't yet. I'll probably go when Shaq's number is retired. [That is scheduled for April 2.]
SI: There's little doubt you had a good run in this town, even after not winning it in, say, 2004, which may have been your toughest season, the one when Karl Malone and Gary Payton joined on.
Jackson: I did have a good run. There were always people who didn't like the triangle, thought it was too methodical, too unlike Showtime. But I was always astonished about how well I was treated. When I came back [in 2005] and took the job, people actually thanked me. They didn't say, "Good luck." They said "Thank you." I never forgot that.
SI: The $12 million question -- and I'm just throwing out a number -- is: Are you going to coach in the NBA again?
Jackson: I'm not coaching. I told Mitch [Kupchak, Lakers GM] that back in October. So when we sat down in November [to talk about taking over after Mike Brown was fired], he brought that up and I said, "Well, this isn't about moving or going somewhere else and learning new players. It's different. So I'm ready to think about coming back, but I still have to think about it."
But I do hold out the idea that there's still influence in the game I could have. Red Auerbach, Pete Newell, Wayne Embry, guys like that have had ... a number of people have had considerable influence and haven't been coaches per se.
SI: So ... a GM job?
Jackson: I don't like that term. Vice president of basketball operations/director of player personnel is more like it.
SI: Vice president ... that doesn't sound like the boss, but the guy who would report to the owner.
Jackson: No, that guy would be the boss. He would be the president of the organization.
SI: What else do you with your time besides surf the NBA channels ... now that you have the package?
Jackson: I'm a sports-watcher. I played football and baseball, coached baseball. So I watch those things. I watched rugby last weekend. I played hockey in North Dakota growing up and watch a lot of that. We watched Homeland.
SI: You seem like you might be a Breaking Bad guy.
Jackson: I'm not. One of my friends, John Lithgow, was on Dexter. So I watched that until it got too dark. Same with Breaking Bad and Weeds, shows like that. I can't take those shows where the premise is the good guys are breaking the law.
SI: How is your physical condition? [Jackson has had two hip replacements and one knee replacement.]
Jackson: Working out, rehabbing is almost like a job. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, several hours a day.
SI: A final obvious question: What do you miss about coaching?
Jackson: What you might expect. Being around the other coaches, being around the guys. It's what I talked about in my book [Eleven Rings]. Coaching is about, "How do I get these people to play at their peak level?" Yeah, the X's and O's mean something, but you can get people to do that. And a lot of those guys have been hired. The Lawrence Franks and the Frank Vogels. Mike Brown was one of those guys. That's not a knock. Those guys know how to coach the game.
But coaching is much more than that. It is a spiritual quest. And if it's not that, you don't have a challenge, you don't have a mission. Forming a brotherhood and trying to move it forward, that's the part that I miss.

Anadarko Petroleum face a clean-up bill of US$5.15 Billion, the largest-ever environmental cleanup bill in the United States.
The money will fund a variety of clean up projects across 2,000 U.S. sites, including US$1Billion earmarked for the Navajo Nation to address radioactive contamination left by Anaradko subsidiary company Kerr-McGee.
Reuters reported today; "Manhattan federal Judge Katherine Forrest approved the deal on Monday over objections from a creditor group in Columbus, Mississippi, where Kerr-McGee operated a wood treatment plant. The group felt the settlement was too low." The judge is reported to have said "The court is sympathetic to the objectors, whose community is coping with the toxic legacy Kerr-McGee has left in its wake."

It's been a big week! On Tuesday over 1,000 people marched up Queen Street and, in one clear voice, we said Stop Deep Sea Oil!
The Waiho Papa Moana hikoi came down from Cape Reinga and together we marched on the 'Petroleum Summit' oil industry conference at Skycity. There we delivered an emphatic message to Statoil - and anyone else wanting to threaten our seas and coastlines with deep sea drilling: Go home - you are not wanted here.
Security was high and the oil men kept their heads down, but the industry and the Government certainly got the message: New Zealanders do not want deep sea drilling.
Then on Wednesday a small team of Greenpeace activists breached security at the petroleum conference to deliver the message again.

More than 1,000 people marched up Queen Streen in Auckland yesterday, as part of the Waiho Papa Moana Hikoi, to protest outside Sky City at the New Zealand Petroleum Summit against plans to begin deep sea oil drilling in the north of New Zealand by Norwegian oil company Statoil. Congratulations to everyone who came along, we made quite an impression.
Marama Davidson spoke to the crowd; "Indigenous mothers around the world are rising up against the greed of all industries." "We say to Statoil, and this government who are entertaining them, you are not smart. You are a risk to our environment. You are a risk to our economy. And you are a risk to our children today and our mokopuna to come."
Steve Abel from Greenpeace said that "As we stand here today in our hundreds and our thousands, we ... Read more >
In September 2014 Anote Tong, President of the Pacific Republic of Kiribati, journeyed to the Arctic to see first hand the melting Arctic glaciers that are affecting his drowning Pacific paradise.
Sea levels are rising faster in the Central-West Pacific than nearly anywhere else in the world, forcing the Islands of Kiribati, with a population of 100 000, to prepare to be wiped out.
Like most people, President Tong had never been to the Arctic. And it turned out to be a powerful experience.
"Kiribati is a beautiful island. But very vulnerable. Very low-lying and therefore highly vulnerable to the impact of climate change, particularly of sea level rise. And so, our future days are numbered. Our islands will be severely affected to the extent that within this century, perhaps even befo... Read more >
Decision 2014 is over. When the dust settles on the craziest election campaign in recent memory, what will we say about this wild ride? We'll say that 1 million people voted for John Key. And we'll say that 1 million people didn't vote at all. Everything else, it turned out, was a side show.Monday night on Campbell Live, John Key gave his 'state of the union address.'Looking relaxed in front of the cameras Key laid out his five areas of focus for the next three years."What the public want me to do is, on behalf of leading the Government, is get out there and say, okay, the core issues that matter; Economic prosperity, education for their kids, housing of young New Zealanders, our outward place in the world, the environment and how we preserve and enhance that.

Say I have all of my nexuses on hotkey 4. I double-tap 4 -- how does the game decide which nexus to center the camera on? Is there a way to quickly toggle around, centering on each building in a hotkey group in turn? Or must I always use separate hotkeys for each nexus?
These two questions mention spacebar as another way to cycle around your bases, but I haven't tried it yet.

Forum Post: As Whistleblowers Hunted Worldwide, Celebrating Another Rebel, From Apartheid Era
Posted 6 years ago on June 24, 2013, 3:24 p.m. EST by LeoYo

As Whistleblowers Hunted Worldwide, Celebrating Another Rebel, From Apartheid Era
Monday, 24 June 2013 14:14 By Chris Hedges, Truthdig | Op-Ed
What is it that makes a rebel? Why does one willingly step outside society to destroy a system of power, break the law and risk persecution and even death for an ideal? As the state calcifies into corporate totalitarianism, as prominent rebels such as Julian Assange, Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden are defamed by a bankrupt media and political class and hunted down as criminals, as change through the established mechanisms of reform becomes impossible, as systems of power invert morality to silence and imprison the just, we are going to have to ask hard questions about what we are willing to endure to make a better world. For if we do not rebel, if we do not actively defy corporate power, we will steadily be herded like captive animals into pens where we will be watched, controlled, abused, exploited and finally cast aside when our bodies and our minds are deemed superfluous by the corporate state. It is not enough to interpret the world. We must change it.

Give meaningful appreciation and awards in a social way, right away to reinforce the values that equal success.
Get a pulse on cultural improvements and value alignment with reporting based on your team's activity.
Kudos simplifies recognition programing, making manual delivery and approvals a thing of the past.
No matter the industry or location, the flexible and social nature of Kudos recognition and rewards will engage your team and strengthen your culture. Our 'recognition first' design and experienced program advisors make the difference.
"As a technology company that develops client engagement software, we wanted to work with the best company and best product in employee engagement – Kudos."Sarah Morales / HR Business Partner, Aspect
"We searched for a recognition partner and found a large selection of stuffy, old-fashioned options. To us, many recognition platforms seemed either intent on doing things the way they had for years and years – or – they had reluctantly added an online option that felt cumbersome and looked equally unattractive. As it should be, Kudos makes recognition FUN through creative videos, unique graphics and caring support service staff who eagerly worked toward our success."Evan Mills / Guest Services Director, Nisqually Red Wind Casino
"Kudos has made recognition a daily event at Re:Sources while enhancing our semi-annual Talent Awards. Our team loves the ability to freely recognize their peers and share in each other's success."Juliet Solorzano / Human Capital Supervisor, Re:Sources
The Kudos social employee recognition system gives your organization a branded, online environment that becomes your central hub for celebrating value-based employee achievements. Timely and public employee recognition is consistently cited as a catalyst for increased engagement and performance, and Kudos has the right combination of features necessary for program success.
The average employee adoption rate of a Kudos social recognition program is 80%.
- Kudos
When managers strongly recognize employee performance, engagement increases by almost 60%.
- Towers Watson
When companies spend 1% or more of payroll on recognition, 85% see a positive impact on engagement.
When you bring Kudos to your organization, you're bringing on a dedicated partner. Our caring and experienced Success Services team will be there to help you navigate cultural differences, roll out with a bang and create a long-term employee engagement strategy. Whether you're 50 or 50,000 employees, we've got the expertise to make your employee recognition program a success.Learn More About Success Services

Why you should add Italy to your Indie/RTW tripIt seems like nobody can describe Italy without mentioning its quaint cobblestone streets, exaggerated hand gestures, glorious ruins and even more glorious food. But the fact is, Italy's magic really does pervade those fabled streets. Or maybe that's just the breeze as a Vespa whizzes by. In any case, there's something indescribable about this country and its layers of history meeting modernity that can't be missed on an indie trip.
- The sights. There's nothing quite like wandering the ruins of Pompeii, sipping a cappuccino in Piazza San Marco, or gazing through the oculus of the Pantheon. And did you know that Italy is home to the most UNESCO heritage sites in the whole world? That's a whole lotta history and culture to check out!
- The Food. Yes, Italian food deserves that capital 'f.' Italy is more than just fresh pasta and gelato and pizza; it's also truffles and sea food, some of the best olive oil you've ever tasted and so much more. Each region of Italy has its own flavor, and discovering these is one of the best treats of traveling the boot!
- The pace. Il dolce far niente literally means, "the sweetness of doing nothing," and few cultures have perfected this as well as the Italians. Take a few extra minutes—or hours, or days—to let yourself soak in the sights, the sounds, the smells. Relax. Especially at the dinner table.
- The possibilities! Italy's diverse terrain and climate provide options for travelers with all kinds of interests. You can bum around on the beaches of Sardinia, hike the Cinque Terre or cycle the hills of Tuscany! Skiing and snowboarding opportunities abound in the north, and for the truly adventurous, there are always outlets for the other sport: shopping.
- Rome is definitely a must-see , especially for the first-time travelers to Italy. The Roman Forum and the Coliseum are just two of the highlights.
- Shopping. Or at least window shopping if your budget doesn't allow for more. Tip: the markets are excellent options for food, souvenirs and more.
- The Adriatic coast is a nice option for a beach destination. But it does get very crowded in the height of summer.
Indie Travel TipsBearing in mind that a lot of the Italian path is beaten for good reason, it is still absolutely possible to get off the beaten path there. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Branch out into other regions. Instead of Tuscany, try Umbria. Venture to the Adriatic coast rather than the Mediterranean. You'll find that many of these overlooked areas offer just as much to do and see, but with fewer tourists.
- Along those lines, do daytrips to break up the big cities with smaller towns! From Rome, go to Orvieto; from Milan, go to Pavia; from Florence, go to Arezzo. You'll get a different perspective on the country and it'll be an even better glimpse into the varying regional cultures. Regional train tickets won't break the bank, either.
- For those interested in volunteering, Italy has many opportunities. In fact, it has one of the most extensive networks of farms for WWOOFing; you can help with the olive harvest, learn how grapes go from the vine to wine, and so much more.
- A sure-fire way to get a good glimpse into daily Italian life is to go to the markets; every city and town has at least one although days vary depending on your location. Wander through the rows of stalls and pick up some fruit, meat, cheese, or bread for lunch—the cheapest delicious meal you could get! Plus, it's not just food that they sell there. Pick up luggage, clothes, home goods and more!
- There isn't really such thing as an 'off-season' in Italy, particularly in Rome and Florence; but try traveling in the fall, which is one of the most beautiful times of year, or late spring to get better prices and experience cities & towns with fewer tourists.
- Use that UNESCO list! Hit up some of the lesser trafficked gems of Italy, like Tarquinia or Paestum.
- Design your own food tour. Pick a few favorite foods and visit the region that specializes in it. Nothing quite beats tasting Pizza Margherita in Naples, or savoring Chianti in its Tuscan home. And if you're in Perugia in October, they host the biggest festival devoted to chocolate. Yum!
- Hike the trails in Cinque Terre. While the area is very popular among tourists, not everyone choose to hike the trails. So, walking shoes, water, map and camera…and you are set.
- If in Venice, explore the archipelago. The further from Venice you go, the less touristy it gets. On the small islands, put on your walking shoes and explore at your own pace.
- Herculaneum is not as popular as Pompeii in terms of visitors but it's definitely an excellent place to visit. It's accessible via Naples. The city was much smaller than Pompeii but the ruins are better preserved.
- There are still parts of Tuscany which are not on the tourist trail. So rent a car and stay away from the rail line. You'll have a blast.

Last but not least, Mont-Sainte-Anne beckons visitors with a host of activities against a breathtaking backdrop, including mountain biking on trails for all levels, hiking, paragliding and , golfing at the foot of the mountain!
Visitors looking for a more relaxing experience can take in the views from a gondola en route to the top of Mont-Saint-Anne. Fall is a particularly beautiful time to visit, as the area is ablaze with colour.
