Also while we're in that post, we can cross one thing off the list
Just 8 more very, very easily doable kits left.
It would be really nice if we could get a full line of models by EITHER manufacturer. I'm currently working on multiple units and customs utilizing the NME Bandai line for consistency's sake, but that's just because they have more compatible kits available.
What I'm basically saying is SOMEONE do a full line of model kits that work together lol.

This statue of Robert E. Lee was given to the National Statuary Hall Collection by Virginia in 1909.
Born into a famous Virginia family on January 19, 1807, Robert E. Lee served his state with great devotion all his life. His family lived at Stratford and later Alexandria, Virginia. At the United States Military Academy he distinguished himself in both scholastics and martial exercises. He was adjutant of the corps and graduated second in the class of 1829. As a career officer, he served in posts in Georgia and Virginia and as commander of the light batteries, with General Scott, in the Mexican War. He served as superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy from 1848 to 1852. Although he was made lieutenant colonel of the Second Cavalry, family problems forced him into inactive duty for over two years.
When the South seceded, Lee reluctantly resigned from the army, hoping to avoid participation in the war he deplored. However, a sense of duty to his state made him accept command of the Virginia forces. His successful strategy, his tactical skill, and the confidence of his troops earned him the respect of the Confederate leaders. President Jefferson Davis appointed him commander of the Army of Northern Virginia on April 1, 1862.
The next three years demanded all Lee's strength until he was forced to surrender to General Ulysses S. Grant on April 9, 1865. Lee was paroled and accepted the presidency of Washington College (now Washington and Lee) in Lexington, Virginia. He served in that capacity from September 1865 until his death on October 12, 1870.

Unbearable Lightness of Mobile-Native Business Models
Everything in mobile computing is fast. New trends, new segments, new apps and marketshare movements – every possible indicator is moving fast. Crazy things happen in fast moving market. Where to shoot and where to hide – not so easy anymore!
Probably everyone who cares about technology trends has read thought provoking post by Fred Wilson. Things have changed, yet again. It's a great post and you must read it. Thought of adding my 2 cents on this particular point –
the consumer is moving from desktop/web to mobile/app. we've talked about this transition ad naseum on this blog. it is the single biggest megatrend in the consumer internet space right now. most new consumer internet startups need to build for iOS, Android, and web at the same time. it is making the startup more expensive and time consuming. distribution is much harder on mobile than web and we see a lot of mobile first startups getting stuck in the transition from successful product to large user base. strong product market fit is no longer enough to get to a large user base. you need to master the "download app, use app, keep using app, put it on your home screen" flow and that is a hard one to master
It is by far the biggest megatrend of our time and we are in very early stages of it. How early? Lets look at these numbers –
We have close to 550 million websites, 1.2 billion smart phone users and roughly 1 million iOS apps in app store (maybe close to 2 million apps once we include all available app stores). Massive action and opportunity between these two numbers – 2 million apps and 550 million websites.
So if we go back to 'download app, use app, keep using app, put it on your home screen' cycle, Download (discovery), use and keep (retention) are definitely problems to be addressed but they don't matter that much for app entrepreneurs. Discovering the right business model for mobile apps is a bigger problem. Finding the right business model is going to help majority of startups to sustain and comfortably pay their bills.
It is not about consumer sector versus enterprise market. Both are easy to manage or can be pain in the ass, it always comes down to your leverage and runway. Keep it simple. Follow where users are going and follow efficient(read cheap) distribution channels, app stores are clearly proving to be a destination where future trends are converging. App stores are only going to get better. Soon it will be very hard to differentiate between Google Search and Google Play. For all the praise Dropbox, Box.net type of services are getting, I can bet most of their new enterprise customers come via app stores. Workday and Yammers of tomorrow will start from app store and that's how they will keep sales cost dramatically low, compared to conventional 6 odd months long sales cycle in the enterprise market.
Bigger pain point lies in the long wait time every app publisher has to go before they find their own business model. Most of the business models we discovered during web era are not that effective on mobile. Fred also wrote a very useful post about business models and linked to Hackpad resource, glance through it here – all the business models applicable to tech startups. Very few of them have come after the app store revolution. In-app purchase is probably the only one which qualifies as a first class business model citizen of app world. We need to get more such mobile native business models. Business model discovery on mobile front is in early stage. Give it some time.
If you are a startup (here I am talking to myself!), it's important that you are buying time to figure this out. Staying small is a virtue in this case. Market is still growing. For majority of users, smart phone is going to be their first access device. I can't even imagine what will be the new definition of enterprise market when that large section (mostly non-US) of new knowledge workers start doing business with their smart phones. We are yet to get into that cycle.
Pace yourself. Business fundamentals haven't changed. Where to shoot and where to hide has definitely changed.

The Ravens signed their second veteran offensive lineman in the past five days, agreeing to a deal with center Tony Wragge.
Wragge, 32, started eight games for the St. Louis Rams last season. He also started 10 games at right guard for the San Francisco 49ers during the 2008 campaign.
Wragge will join former Cincinnati Bengals guard Bobbie Williams, who agreed to a two-year deal with the Ravens last Friday, in providing veteran depth along the offensive line. With Wragge in the fold, the Ravens now have five centers on the roster: starter Matt Birk, rookie Gino Gradkowski, Justin Boren, Cecil Newton and Wragge.
To make room for Wragge on the roster, the Ravens released defensive end/defensive tackle Elliott Henigan, an undrafted free agent out of Alabama-Birmingham.
To make room for Williams, the Ravens have waived defensive end/linebacker Michael McAdoo who tore his Achilles earlier this month during an organized team activity. McAdoo had surgery and is expecting to miss the entire 2012 season.
The Ravens say that McAdoo remains very much in the team's plans, but this is a procedural move because they have to put him through waivers before moving him to injured reserve.

After weeks of bleak headlines questioning the cost and the feasibility of California's High Speed Rail project, Gov. Jerry Brown is seeking to move off defense and change the narrative
He met Thursday at the state Capitol with U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, who has made several stops this week around the state to discuss the project. Afterward, LaHood offered strong support for the rail project.
LaHood said in his discussions, he had "found a strong base of support for the California High Speed Rail project, from workers who will build it, manufacturers that will supply the trains to run on it and businesses that will benefit from using it."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
LaHood added, "I look forward to working with Gov. Brown to make this project as successful as possible."
The federal government has already committed $3.5 billion as part of the start up costs for the fledgling project, which hopes to break ground for construction later this year in the Central Valley. That is just a fraction of the ultimate construction cost, however, which led the state Auditor's office recently to question the financing.
LaHood also toured the Siemens plant this week in South Sacramento, which designs and manufactures light rail vehicles for customers in North America.
To blunt criticism about the project's estimated $98 billion cost, Gov. Brown has been talking up the jobs aspect of the plan. In fact, a coalition of labor groups and contractors have started running radio ads, featuring comedian Will Durst, focusing on the potential for job creation.
Brown released a statement Thursday, calling the project "a key step in modernizing our transportation system".
The project still faces big problems from skeptical lawmakers in Sacramento and Washington. But the governor has decided to stake his reputation on putting this train back on the tracks, and building a legacy similar to that of his father's.

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and rub cold Coke cans against your forehead until this heat wave either passes by or finally brings your life to a merciful conclusion. LET'S GO!
THE DECISION – 9:00PM (ESPN) I love that they gave LeBron James' free agency special an actual title like this. It's makes it at least 56% more absurd. It makes it sound like it should be hosted by Sam Donaldson, with Nate Silver zeroing in on very small but crucial voting districts on a nearby touch screen. ESPN is a bastion of journalistic integrity, I tell you.
Anyway, LeBron's choices tonight are Cleveland, Miami, New York, New Jersey, Chicago, and Los Angeles (but the Clippers, not the Lakers). Which should he choose? Well, New York is the greatest city on Earth. But Chicago is probably my favorite city in the world. Miami has great nightlife and people in various states of half-dress. It's not an easy call. Not at all. Except the New Jersey and Cleveland parts. Those are relatively easy to eliminate in ruthless and mean-spirited fashion. ANTICIPATION: NOT ACTUAL BASKETBALL!
BIG BROTHER – 8:00PM (CBS) Break out the Chenbot! CBS' reality stalwart is back for another summer of people too old for "The Real World" being confined to a single house and snuggling under dirty blankets on a nightvision camera. Feel the disease! ANTICIPATION: COOTIERIFFIC!
CSI – 9:00PM (CBS) It's a summer rerun tonight, but you CSI fans will be pleased to know star Marg Helgenberger re-upped with CBS today and will remain on the show for a good long while. And that's good, because Marg Helgenberger is the original cougar. ANTICIPATION: DEAD YOUNG PEOPLE!
ANTHONY BOURDAIN: NO RESERVATIONS – 9:00PM (Travel Channel) If you missed the season premiere Monday night (as I did), catch up tonight with a rerun of it. It's the best food and travel show on TV. And while that may not mean much given that "Man Vs. Food" represents the rest of that category, trust me, it's a great show. ANTICIPATION: MEAT ON A STICK!
BOSTON MED – 10:00PM (ABC) Tonight, the docs do a complicated brain surgery. As opposed to the simple kind. ANTICIPATION: BRAINS!
Thursday Watch List: Decision '10!
Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and rub cold Coke cans against your forehead until this heat wave either passes by or finally brings your life to a merciful conclusion. LET'S GO!

When you start something new in life be it a company, a project or something personal – it is exciting.
Today, we announced Adobe Primetime – a complete multi-screen video solution that enables broadcast programmers and pay TV service providers to capitalize broadcast video across every connected screen.
Many times, you find yourself dreaming about success and how you might change the world – and if you're smart, you will build on strong and solid foundations from your history that accelerate your success – and that is just what we did with Adobe Primetime.
Adobe has developed very strong and trusted technology partnerships in the video delivery ecosystem that drive many of the videos watched online today. It is these partnerships and technologies that make up the ecosystem that enables the future of multi-screen video with Adobe Primetime.
While our name is new, Adobe Primetime is built on a strong foundation of encoding, delivery, playback and protection ecosystem. Adobe Innovations such as RTMP, H.264, and Adaptive bitrate have enabled the world to engage with video in new ways developed by our customers that challenged how we consumed video.
Look around in your home, at your kids in your office and notice – the world consumes video differently today than five years ago and behind the scenes, Adobe innovation is there and that is the basis of Adobe Primetime.
Over the past 10+ years of video innovation, Adobe has partnered with the early visionaries and innovators in video preparation and delivery. As a result, Exabyte's of video is delivered or prepared every month and consumed using Adobe technologies that are integrated into network, hardware, software and cloud solutions.
From video ingest and encoding using RTMP, to HTTP output and H.264 across every device – Adobe technologies are integrated into the very core of virtually every component in the video workflow.
Adobe Primetime was built from the ground up combining many different technologies into one and leverage existing partner solutions so that broadcasters can deliver a robust, rich live streaming or HD video on-demand experience to global audiences. The video industry is undergoing a shift towards standardization and interoperability, and it is that interoperability that will catapult the volume of video available to consumers.
This week in Las Vegas, the NAB Show is a perfect example of the evolution of video. In nearly every booth, video innovations are demonstrated on devices of many shapes, sizes and connectedness.
Okay – let's look at the ecosystem (from our eyes), and how Adobe Primetime customers can leverage their existing hardware and services contracts to quickly address the screens of now and the future.
ENCODERS: There are two classes of encoders – those that enable live streaming and those that enable VOD streaming. Encoders can live at a broadcaster data center or in the cloud. Encoders are where video starts its journey to the device. These powerful workhorses consume one video stream or file and in real-time output 20-40 different versions at various shapes and sizes optimized for devices. Encoders also convert embedded video signals for advertising, closed captioning and entitlement then transport it to Adobe Primetime-enabled players. Encoders also package content into HDS or HLS format (both supported by Adobe Primetime) and also apply DRM and Protected Streaming using Adobe Primetime DRM (formally Adobe Access). Many encoding companies are also innovating smart origin and packaging services to provide additional scale to meet the coming demand.
Visionary companies like Cisco and Elemental have led the way with innovative live streaming technologies that are quickly leveraging cloud infrastructure to meet the scale and capacity required to quickly produce the quality and multiple format requirements. These industry-leading companies are present in many broadcasters' data centers today. Adobe has also partnered with Envivio, Harmonic, and RGB Networks – whose devices and services are ready for Adobe Primetime today. We are working to enable all of our encoder partners with Adobe Primetime technologies.
DRM & PROTECTION SERVICES: DRM protection is extremely complex technology to deploy due to security and robustness requirements. When coupled with the various support across devices, connected TV's, game consoles and PCs, DRM adds a lot of barriers to multi-screen video streaming. DRM service providers make it easier to implement license delivery, subscription entitlement and event transactional services for rental or pay-per-view services. DRM service providers operate Adobe Primetime DRM license services, and can easily integrate into encoding workflows to encrypt video content. Adobe Primetime Player uses a single DRM across desktops, Android, iOS and connected TVs – with full support for industry standard Ultraviolet Common Encryption.
Companies like Irdeto have gladly taken the responsibility of hosting Adobe Primetime DRM license servers so it doesn't have to be managed by broadcasters or distributors. They provide an innovative and robust protection service that can reduce the complexity for protecting content streaming to Adobe Primetime-enabled video players. Adobe has also partnered with Vualto, Authentec, CSG and other popular DRM services. Content encryption can be done when video is encoded through encoding partners, or dynamically using cloud service providers such as Level3 or Akamai.
CONTENT DELIVERY NETWORKS (CDN): Think of CDNs as the 21st century's video antenna. Without them, we literally would not have the ability to deliver HD video across such a wide array of networks, like mobile, WiFi, office or home Internet connections. CDNs provide the transport and caching technologies vital to video delivery. CDNs are expanding what they can do by operating encoders, live ingest, encryption and other services to make video publishing easier.
Companies like Akamai, Amazon Web Services and Level3 provide the global scale and reach required to bring video experiences to consumer devices that are uninterrupted by network buffering. Nearly every top broadcaster globally makes use of one or many of our delivery network partners. Adobe Primetime is an HTTP-streaming based solution supported by the HDS and HLS streaming formats which can pass and scale through CDNs easily. These CDNs can also dynamically prepare videos that can be watched within an Adobe Primetime-enabled video player. Adobe partners with more than 25 CDNs globally, and we are working to certify them all to support Adobe Primetime customers.
LIVE EVENT SERVICES: Today there are more Live events and 24×7 linear streaming being watched than video on-demand. Webcasting is not what it used to be and Adobe's partners have made perfecting professional live video streaming their business. From satellite, fiber or IP signal acquisition, these professional services companies bring the world's major events such as the Olympics, Super Bowl, World Cup and more to every screen imaginable. By deploying the world's most advanced live and linear facilities along with operating encoders, teleports, payment systems and large data centers – consumers now experience full HD live events that do not fail – and are enhanced with live highlight clipping and advanced performance telemetry.
Companies like iStreamPlanet, AEG Digital Media, Deltatre, ATOS Origin, Origin Digital and NeuLion all partner with Adobe to enable Adobe Primetime customers with integrated signal acquisition, protection and engaging video player experiences that drive extremely high volumes and advertising opportunities. By combining Adobe Primetime ad insertion technology into their workflows, our customers can monetize their content through advertising and authentication. This is hard work, and it requires a masterful hand to make sure events are successful because as a friend of mine often reminds me, "If you are delivering an Internet-only stream, and it fails…you don't have an event!"
Adobe Primetime may be new, but we have been working to pre-enable an ecosystem of technologies to provide a premier broadcast video experience across screens and more innovation is on the way!

1 arrested after shots fired in Cocoa, police say
Dominick Brown, 19, faces several charges
Police used a stun gun on a man suspected of firing shots in Cocoa on Sunday night.
Shots were reported on Prospect Avenue at about 10 p.m., and several spent shell casings were found nearby.
As police were searching the area, the aviation unit spotted Dominick Brown, 19, tossing a gun, according to police.
Police on the ground stunned Brown with a stun gun when he refused to comply with officers, police said.
The aviation unit was also able to guide police to the location of the gun.
Brown was charged with possession of firearm by felon, possession of bullets by felon, violation of probation, resisting arrest and possession of an altered firearm. Police said Brown obliterated the serial number on the firearm so they don't know if it was stolen.
Police said they don't know who or what Brown was firing the gun at.

Kristina blogged about Swine Flu, Kerrilyn blogged about Swine Flu, Melinda blogged about Swine Flu, Val blogged about Swine Flu, and so I thought it was my turn.
Yesterday Oldest Child got home from school and told me all about her day. Well, she really only told me about her teacher telling the kids all about the Swine Flu (and if that is all they learned about yesterday I am going to have a little piggy).
You have to know something about Oldest Child. She is like her mom, poor thing. She is anxiety ridden (and she is only 7). She has already been in therapy twice for her anxiety. I kid you not. Since I suffer from severe anxiety I recognized her issues pretty early and had her in to therapy FAST! And by fast I mean like a month because the waiting list is LONG for child psychologists. Good times!
Anyhow, one of her issues (just like her mom) is sickness. She was aware, being the oldest, about my heart condition through my last pregnancy and she freaked out that Mommy wasn't going to be coming home. I thought we did a good job not letting her know anything but that girl has super-hearing. I secretly think she reads minds, but don't tell her that. She already knows she is special. I don't want to give her an even bigger head.
Back to my original thought- since she was in therapy to help her be calm about sickness and life issues I think that sharing details about Swine flu was NOT the best idea. I think I am going to drop-kick her teacher. (I really do like her teacher, just thinking that I am a little upset because my daughter is freaking out now.)
Here are just some of the fun facts that she shared with me (that I didn't tell her)...
- Don't be alarmed. (who uses that termanology with 2nd graders?)
- Swine flu is really bad.
- You can die from it.
- More than 20 people have died already.
- We need to wash our hands all the time, after we touch a door, before and after we eat, just all the time.
- It's in Texas, which isn't far away, and we don't want it to come to Utah.
Mind you, this is just a few of the fun facts I learned from Oldest Child. WHY was that a good idea? I have talked to her teacher about her "issues" and yet this was a major topic of discussion in her class. Of course, knowing Oldest Child they probably only talked about it for all of 5 minutes and then she obsessed about it the rest of the day.
And by the rest of the day I really do mean the rest of the day. She had piano lessons after school and according to her piano teacher she was having trauma. She cried and had a hard time focusing. When I talked to Oldest Child about what was wrong she started to cry and told me she was scared she was going to get sick with Swine Flu. Nice! It sure was fun trying to convince her that we are going to do everything we can to stay healthy, but that wasn't enough for her. She wanted me to promise she wouldn't get it. Can't really do that, since I am not all powerful and such that I can fix the future to go as I want. If that was the case I am sure that I would be living a different, less money-stressed life.

Water and Sanitation for Africa (WSA) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Malaysian firm Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd for technical know-how and consultancy services in sewerage management in African countries.
WSA selected Indah Water "to be in a technical committee formed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to propose immediate, medium- and long-term solutions for sanitation services in WSA member countries". In 2011-2012 WSA received three Gates Foundation grants totalling US$ 7.2 million, one of which to develop sanitation financing models for urban poor and another to set an African Sanitation Think Tank.
Chief Executive Officer Datuk Abdul Kadir Mohd Din said that the Gates Foundation "had sent a team of wastewater experts from the United States to visit Indah Water after visiting the African continent and Asean countries".
Indah Water is Malaysia's national sewerage company. In 1994, the Federal Government awarded the company the concession for nationwide sewerage services which before were the responsibility of local authorities.
Water and Sanitation for Africa (WSA) is a Pan African Inter-governmental Agency based in Burkina Faso, previously known as the African Regional Centre for Water and Sanitation (CREPA). WSA has a presence in 32 African countries.

Expansion supports demand for performance management software to help CFOs and the Office of Finance secure better business results in one of the largest global markets
Tagetik, a visionary leader in global performance management software solutions, today announced the opening of its Japan direct operation to serve the demand for corporate performance management (CPM) software among large and mid-sized enterprises in the Japanese market. Tagetik is developing strategic partnerships with key consulting companies, system integrators and resellers to serve Japan-headquartered organizations as well as Japanese subsidiaries abroad. Successful implementation in foreign subsidiaries of Japanese companies include Siemens VAI Metals Technologies, MISA - Marubeni-Itochu Steel America and Toyota Tsusho Africa. The expansion strengthens the company's commitment to customers' needs as part of Tagetik's global growth strategy.
"At Tagetik, we are committed to helping our customers address their financial and operational planning, consolidation, forecasting, disclosure, compliance and reporting needs," stated Manuel Vellutini, co-CEO, Tagetik. "Japan represents one of the largest markets for CPM software.

This is an area that I have not explored before. That is the creation of plug-ins and community property. Add to that the fact that the most graphical programming I have done is frame by frame line drawing animation on an Apple II. In this case I ran into a challenge online that requested an effect that Paint.NET did not offer.
My first adventure started with a version of CodeLab published by BoltBait (sorry I don't have a real name). It is a tool that launches as an effect within Paint.NET giving you a NotePad style editor for C# with some basic development-time code checking.
There is also a Visual Studio template for VS2005. It can be found here. This is how you can overcome the limitations of CodeLab. The main limitation is the fact that CodeLab gives very few options for dialog boxes. The best support for the template is a blog post which contains a howto.
Now if you are going to use the template then take advantage of the custom controls within the Paint.NET assemblies. These reside in PaintDotNet.Core.dll and PaintDotNet.exe. In my case I chose to use the ColorWheel.
Another key thing to make sure of is that you implement all of the constructors in the token class (token is used for data communication with the dialog). It seem that the one that takes another copy of the same class is used to pass the token back to the main plug-in class' Render method.
If you want the user to get a real-time view of what they are changing each of your dialog control change events should call the FinishTokenUpdate method.
Of course there is more to developing Paint.NET effect than this, but I will write that when I work out a few more image theory subject with the one I am currently writing.
Last month we were begging for rain. My grass is completely dead in spots and the only thing growing are weeds and crab grass. This month it just won't stop raining. I looked up some figures this morning. The county I live in gets an average of 4" of rain in August. One town is reporting almost 10" so far this month with two weeks to go and a forcast of rain all this week. I'm thinking of building an arc. Anyone want to join me?
This latest show really interested me since the topic was Enterprise Library. It is a subject that is near and dear to my heart since I spent significant amount of time working on a few chapters of a book for the 2.0 release. I have to admit I haven't had much time to keep up lately and had even forgotten that they had moved it to CodePlex.
I found the application blocks that were added for 3.0 exciting. The fact that there is now a validation application block and a policy injection application block I think shows how far we as a community have come in our abstraction.
Now there is also an Application Block Software Factory. Now that is something to get excited about. I can tell you from experience that even writing new classes isn't a cake walk. This sort of wire frame to help those brave enough to build their own application blocks is a god send.
Do yourself and your team a service and check this out.
This is another one of those things I heard about on .NET Rocks. I believe that it is being used here on GWB, considering the visible one doesn't seem to be in use any more. It is an interesting approach to a difficult problem.
Now the question is what is next when the spammers figure out how to defeat this barrier? I'm waiting for the retina scanner.
I sat in a meeting today where a boat load of process documents were dumped on the team in the middle of an A&D phase which is already behind schedule. Now this wasn't to introduce us to new processes, but to document the processes we are already doing informally. Add on top of that a request to redo a full team meeting because a couple of people couldn't attend and I feel like I am being pounded to death by the "waterfall" today. How about just a little agile?
Here is something you don't see every day.
This is becoming a trend for me taking different hobbies in my life and applying them to my job (which also happens to be my hobby).
One way that you can learn to take better images is to work through assignments. These can be challenges from a group, a paid project or self assignments. This is the way I learned .NET 2.0 and how I will approach learning VS2008.
With 2.0 I rewrote my wife's web site.
The other things that these assignments teach is looking at things from different perspectives. Take for instance the most recent one I was working on which was to portray time or the passing of time. Try to think of how many ways you can do that.
You start by brain storming. First things that come to mind are the usual: clocks, watches, hour glasses. Now turn it on it's head: candles dripping, a rusting sign, a falling down building next to a new one.
Now apply the same approach to design. Start with standard patterns: factory, singleton, command. Now let your imagination go to town ...
I don't know what is happening, but for about the last week Yahoo's spam filter has started putting half of my emails to the spam folder. If I didn't go in there every so often and check things out I would still be wondering where some of them were. Go figure!
I was talking with a neighbor who is going to DePaul University for software engineering. Things have definitely changed since I was in college. He was working on a Java PDA app and a traffic light controller application. That is a long way from encryption programs and inventory reports.
One thing that is a little scary is that he says his focus is on project management. Now maybe my thinking is outdated, but I don't believe that you can effectively manage developers without knowing how to develop yourself.
Now the question is does taking a few development classes qualify? To my way of thinking, no. There are just so many things that you don't encounter in the class room. Things like how do meetings affect your ability to deliver code on time and the impact of ever changing requirements don't come up in the academic environment.
So let's change the question. Should they teach project management in school. Most definitely. It is just as important for a developer to understand how a project is managed as how to build the software. I just don't believe that someone right out of college should go straight into project management.
Yesterday I posted about adding whatIf functionality to a PowerShell script. Less than 24 hours later I had a comment from Jeffrey Snover of the PowerShell team. This isn't the first time that I have noticed hits to my blog from Microsoft addresses after posting on one subject or another. I find the fact that the product teams are keeping an eye on the community reassuring. Keep up the good work guys!

Today Adobe announced two exciting new Flash Platform open source initiatives that will help media companies and publishers reinvent themselves and jumpstart innovation on the Web. Specifically, we have released as open source the Open Source Media Framework (OSMF), previously part of the "Strobe" project, and the Text Layout Framework (TLF). Both are now freely available under the Mozilla Public License as part of our broader strategy called Open@Adobe, which Dave McAllister describes below.
OSMF gives developers standard video player functionality, like playback controls, video navigation, buffering and Dynamic Streaming, including an API that partners can use to drop in plug-ins to add advertising and reporting features. The flexible OSMF framework embodies best practices for media player development, allowing the developer more time to focus on the overall user experience. With OSMF, content publishers can build advanced and feature rich media players, along the lines of what Hulu has created or CBS TV player, with much less work than it takes today. It is now available for free at www.opensourcemediaframework.com
TLF is an extensible ActionScript library that runs on the new text engine in Flash Player 10 and AIR 1.5. Leveraging the publishing expertise of the Adobe InDesign team, TLF offers a level of typographic control and sophistication that goes well beyond what can be done with HTML and CSS.
TLF is being used today in The New York Times TimesReader 2.0 and The Boston Globe's GlobeReader Adobe AIR applications, and represent an excellent use of TLF's reflowing text, multiple columns, and top notch typography features. The new text layout features in AIR are enabling the New York Times and Boston Globe to create an experience like the real paper and opening up new types of apps and subscription models.
makebook has built a community content creation, collaboration and collection platform that makes extensive use of TLF, BlazeDS for remoting to a Java backend, the Flex framework for the frontend, and other open source technologies. With this online authoring network, makebook users can create content and write stories using advanced text capabilities, add multimedia content, and publish content to a library or share content with friends–all within the browser. Subscriptions are available for collaboration and co-authoring.
Adobe is also practicing what we preach by using TLF for all text objects in the new Acrobat.com Presentations service that provides a great way for people to collaboratively create and share presentations.
I look forward to seeing the next generation of Web applications that the OSMF and TLF projects will enable.

1. I love how close my job is to my house and the relaxing drive. 2. I love the 2 hour brake I get everyday (my pre-k naps :) ) 3. I have a large very, very nice classroom and plenty of freedom to do what I want with it and with my class.

1) I like the people (circa 50) I work with. Good chemistry. 2) For this area, it's a smooth commute. 3) I usually like what I do for my job (software-related). 4) Very key: benefits for my son as well as me. (Of course I have to contribute to medical.)

Nataly, Great article! I think this is so true.... we need to focus on the positive. There will always be negative and we need to walk away and not let it suck us up to the point where we forget there are many good things about our jobs.
Flag as inappropriate Posted by Mel on 16th February 2008
so so true! sometimes i think we even forget that we like our jobs if we think about it - we get stuck in that complaining/commiserating rut! thanks for the reminder!!!
Flag as inappropriate Posted by Kate on 16th February 2008
This is a wonderful observation, Nataly! It reminds me of this corny, yet very true, saying: your attitude is the only thing in life you can really control. So, you can choose to be positive or negative about things. I'm not saying I'm the world's biggest optimist, because I'm not. But that is an attitude that has helped me many times.
Here are my three things about my current projects as a WAHM:
No real deadlines to meet.
No voicemail to check.
Quiet workplace.
Flag as inappropriate Posted by Diane on 16th February 2008
This is a great point, Nataly. Guess you could use it in many aspects in your life (3 things you like about your house, your dog, your mother, etc, teehee). I"ll write my list now.

"Dracula" Complete Show
A time to watch your back. A time to watch your neck.
In a ruined castle deep in the Carpathian mountains, an ancient evil lies waiting for the sun to go down...
The photos in this gallery are from the publicity, dress rehearsal, and archival photo calls. Once all the photos have been posted to the gallery it will be available for a full download with every image. Please read the additional information on full gallery downloads by clicking here or by visiting our PTC product information page which has information regarding all the products we offer.
Starting in the 2012-2013 season we will be offering all photo shoots into one gallery for each show for ease of purchasing an entire show. The "Complete Show" Gallery will contain publicity photos, dress rehearsal photos, and archival photos. Once all the photos have been posted to the website you will be able to purchase the entire gallery for a flat rate. This rate is the same for every show.
Full Gallery Download Pricing:
• "Web" Resolution ($70): Suitable for use on websites, not good for prints.
• "Low Res" ($90): Suitable for websites and small prints (up to 4x6)
• "High Res" ($130): Suitable for websites and medium sized prints (8x10)
• "Original" ($185): The highest resolution available suitable for just about any use you can think of.
To download a full gallery, you will find an 'All Digital Downloads' option under the 'Buy' button. Here you will be able to select the resolution of the files you would like to download and you can then add the download to your cart.
At this time we are working to apply this feature to all previous seasons. Look for new galleries under the year and "Full Show Galleries" to see what is available. We should have them all available very soon.
For those who do not wish to buy a full gallery, we encourage you to look at our Pick 30 CD option.
If you wish to purchase an entire show PLEASE WAIT until ALL the photos from that show have been posted. Full gallery purchases made before all photos are online WILL NOT include all images.
While we understand that full gallery purchases may seem expensive, our business relies on sales of photos to remain in operation, much the same way that actors needs shows. Despite how easy it seems to copy digital works these days, we would appreciate it if individuals seeking the use of these images would purchase their own copy and license. We can track purchases and digital usage, and we would prefer not to have to ask you to discontinue use of or purchase pirated images.
Remember: Images may always be shared on social sites like Facebook and Twitter using the share button. This is perfectly acceptable use since the images will bear a watermark.
Images from the different photo shoots are denoted in the image name as follows:
• {SHOW}YEAR-PUB-## = Publicity Photos
• {SHOW}YEAR-INVAUD-## = Final Dress Photos
• {SHOW}YEAR-ARCH-## = Archival Photos

Still pushing to stamp some kind of authority on the open source space after what is now more than eighteen months worth of its Java "stewardship," Oracle has announced the availability of its Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.0 open source, cross-platform virtualization software.
The company describes the Oracle VM VirtualBox product as a route for desktop or laptop computers to run multiple guest operating systems simultaneously. It supports a variety of host operating systems including Windows, Mac OS X, most popular flavors of Linux (including Oracle Linux), and Oracle Solaris.
Built to handle increased capacity and throughput than previous iterations, Oracle says that the new version handle greater workloads, offers enhanced virtual appliance capabilities, and also sports significant usability improvements.
"Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.0 is the third major product release in just over a year, and adds to the many new product releases across the Oracle Virtualization product line, illustrating the investment and importance that Oracle places on providing a comprehensive desktop to datacenter virtualization solution," said Wim Coekaerts, senior vice president, Linux and Virtualization Engineering, Oracle. "With an improved user interface and added virtual hardware support, customers will find Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.0 provides a richer user experience."
With the new release, community developers can now create extensions that customize Oracle VM VirtualBox and add features not previously available such as the new scalable display mode that enables users to view more virtual displays on their existing monitors. There are also improvements to VM management, including visual VM previews, an optional attributes display, and easy launch shortcut to enable administrators and power users to customize the interface to make it as simple or as comprehensive as required.

"One of the seven angels that had the seven bowls came to speak to me, and said, 'Come here and I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute who is enthroned beside abundant waters, with whom all the kings of the earth have prostituted themselves, and who has made all the population of the world drunk with the wine of her adultery.' He took me in spirit to a desert, and there I saw a woman riding a scarlet beast which had seven heads and ten horns and had blasphemous titles written all over it." -Revelation 17:1-3
In ancient Greek mythology, Zeus — the god of sky and thunder and "Father of Gods and men" who rules the gods on Mount Olympus — was enamored with the Phoenician princess Europa and decided to seduce or ravish her. He transformed himself into a tame white bull and mixed in with her father's herds. While Europa and her female attendants were gathering flowers, she saw the bull, caressed his flanks, and eventually got onto his back. Zeus took that opportunity and ran to the sea and swam, with her on his back, to the island of Crete. He then revealed his true identity, and Europa became the first queen of Crete. [Wikipedia]
Nikolaj Nielsen reports from Brussels for the EUobserver, Sept. 11, 2012, that in place of the present pictures of windows and doors, Euro banknotes will sport a new image next year, of the mythological Phoenician princess Europa.
Mario Draghi, the head of the European Central Bank (ECB), said, "Portraits have long been used in banknotes around the world and research has shown that people tend to remember faces. Is there any better figure than Europa to serve as the new face of the euro?"
Europa's face will be shown as a watermark and as a hologram. Until now, euro notes carried pictures of windows and doors in various architectural styles in a symbol of openness designed not to offend national sensibilities.
Europa will first appear on the €5 note in May, with other notes introduced in ascending order in the next few years. The new notes will also carry an emerald-colored number.
I found these images of Europa for the new 2013 Euro banknotes, from the European Central Bank website:
Portrait hologram
When you tilt the banknote, the silvery stripe reveals a portrait of Europa, the same as in the watermark. The stripe also shows a window and the value of the banknote.
Emerald number
When you tilt the banknote, the shiny number displays an effect of the light that moves up and down. The number also changes color from emerald green to deep blue.

The orthodoxy police have apparently invaded Facebook. The first victim: Seventeen-year-old Lennon Cihak, who after completing all the requirements for confirmation was denied the sacrament by his pastor over a photo that Cihak posted on his Facebook page.
The controversial photo in question shows the Minnesota teen next to a political sign endorsing the state's proposed constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage. The amendment, which failed, was heavily endorsed by the state's bishops and received a strong push from the church, even if Catholics in the pews weren't 100 percent behind the initiative. Cihak posed with the "Vote yes" sign, having written "No" over "Yes" and adding the words "Equal rights!"
Once Cihak's pastor was tipped off, the teen was told he could not receive confirmation, and now his parents–whose only sin appears to be standing up for their son–have been told they can't receive communion in their longtime parish. Cihak and his mother both expressed that they have no intention of returning to the parish, and may leave the church altogether. Another sad story of Catholics being driven from the church.
Of course, we don't know the details of the conversation between the family and the pastor. It would seem, however, that there wasn't much of an attempt to be pastoral, to reach out to the teen, or to find a common understanding. Perhaps the priest was just upset that a young person who went through his parish's religious education program wasn't convinced that the church is correct in its stance on gay marriage. I'd be worried if I was the parish's confirmation teacher.
I'm sure Cihak isn't the first teen to come out of their religious education program with some doubts about the church and its teachings, yet many who share his doubts or disagreements still receive the sacrament of confirmation (in fact, many of his classmates "liked" the Facebook photo yet were still confirmed). The sacrament isn't a stamp of approval for someone who has shown complete loyalty and obedience, it is a step on our admittedly flawed paths of faith, working toward a greater understanding of God and his role in our lives.
For Cihak and his parents to be reprimanded so severely over a silly photo posted on Facebook seems more than a tad extreme. It would be much better to allow young people in the church to bring their opinions, questions, and challenges to light and to engage with them in dialog. It might be a great learning opportunity for them. And more importantly, it would be a learning opportunity for the church.

It's a dog-eat-dog world.
In a video picking up steam on the web, a French bulldog named Pixel adorably struggles to reclaim its bed after a calico cat stole it away.
Despite the 10-week-old puppy's efforts, the cat shows no intention of leaving.
Despite the tug-of-war match, Pixel and the cat can be seen sharing the bed in a photo posted on an Instagram account made for the dog.

I had my reservations about this recipe, as I've not really enjoyed rocket sauces in the past but needed something quick and had all the ingredients to hand. Unfortunately, my doubts were well-founded. The rocket made the creamy sauce taste very bitter and unpleasant. Perhaps if the chillies had been a bit hotter it would have been a little better, but I'm more inclined to think that the recipe was just so wrong on every level that nothing could salvage it.
20th Jul, 2015
I'd rate this 10/10 wouldn't cook again. Didn't the have the linguine so used spaghetti, unfortunately my son doesn't like sausages so I used mince beef instead. Couldn't find the rocket in the supermarket so fried mushrooms and onion with the beef and thought a tin of tomatoes would be nicer than the cream so added that. The reviews below suggested the chillies might be a bit bland so sprinkled 25g of mild cheddar on top. Couldn't understand why people in the comments below didn't like it, my wife even said it reminded her of Dolmio. What a result!

|Green Bay Press-Gazette
While conducting some research on Norman in order to find a year of death for him, I was able to connect with a fellow Ancestry.com researcher that had Norman in his family tree. He was able to relate to me the information on Norman's tombstone and that he is buried in Robinsonville Presbyterian Cemetery, Champion, Brown Cty, WI. Norman was born on September 22, 1922 and died on December 13, 1944 in France. His tombstone reads, "In memory of our son, T/5 Norman Falish, gave his life in defense of his country in France" and then there is a veteran marker that gives his unit as, "411 Infantry, 103 Infantry Division, WWII". His parents are also listed on his tombstone as Mr. and Mrs. John Falish (just like in the obituary). Thank you, Bruce for all the great information!
His obituary states that he had five brothers. Looking at the 1930 census his parents were John and Minnie Falish and his brothers were Charles, Goldie, Alvin, Clarence, and John. On this census there were 3 cousins living with the family at that time with a last name of Laurent. Seeing that I think that perhaps Norman was a distant relative of my husband's since the hubby's paternal grandmother was a Laurent and she was the initial clipper of all these newspaper articles I have. Now I just have to figure out the family connection!
Want a wrench thrown into the research works? When I was searching Ancestry to see which of his brothers were also serving (and if any were casualties as well), I came across a card in the "AJHA WWII Jewish Servicemen Cards" for a T/5 Norman Falish with a next of kin listed as Minnie Falish from Wisconsin. The inquiry date would have been after his death. I'll need to look into these cards some more, because on first glance I'm told that they were for Jewish-American Soldiers that served, but Norman was listed on his enlistment papers as Protestant. Interesting. Perhaps a parent/grandparent was Jewish. Unfamiliar ground to me, but isn't that what makes all this research interesting!?! Anyone with Jewish research experience that may be able to shed the light on any of this. Granted, I have conducted a reasonably exhaustive search, but so far I'm fairly certain that these Normans are the same person.
Onward to the obituary!
"Memorial Services for Norman Falish Sunday
Special to Press-Gazette
NEW FRANKEN, Wis. - Memorial services for T/5 Norman Falish, who died Dec. 13 from wounds received in action in France, will be held at 10 o'clock Sunday morning at the Robinsonville Presbyterian church, with the Rev. Marvin Kruse in charge. Two young ladies of the church will sing special humans.
Born Sept. 24, 1922, in the town of Scott, T/5 Falish entered the Army Dec. 12, 1942, and had been overseas only a few months before being fatally wounded.
Survivors include his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Falish, New Franken, and five brothers, two of them in the Army."
The two brothers that served? Charles (enlisted 04JUN1942) Alvin (enlisted 19NOV1942). Something not mentioned in the article? Another brother, John Falish (Jr.), enlisted after his big brother, Norman, died. His enlistment date was 26JUN1944. They all survived the war.
[This clipping was one of many passed on to me by my mother-in-law from Green Bay, WI. There is no date on the clipping.]

When we decided to buy this house, we truly believed that our old house would sell quickly. It is in great condition, well cared for and in a desirable neighborhood/area of town. The only negative, is that house backs up to a major roadway. Now, we lived in this house for 8 years and really, never noticed the noise, but the perception is there. We believed that the house, features and neighborhood would diminish this location issue.
Unfortunately, the market is rough right now. Loans are hard to get and many people are upside down on their current homes which makes it impossible for them to move at this time. In our market the high number of foreclosures and short sales has resulted in market flooded with more houses than buyers. These foreclosures have also driven down the average sale price. Grrrr.
We have given some thought to renting it out and waiting for the market to come around, but really, we have no desire to be landlords. Having rental property in our minds is a lot of headaches. Will they pay their rent? How much maintenance will there be? Will these renters care for "our" home in the same way we do?
We have decided to give one last push to sell this house in the next 30 days with an aggressive pricing strategy. Oh yeah, and I am praying to dear St. Joseph every hour!
Wish us luck. And say a little prayer if you have a minute! And if you are looking for a home in the Tucson area, let me know - I would be happy to send you the MLS listing!!!

Standard streams
In computer programming, standard streams are preconnected input and output communication channels[1] between a computer program and its environment when it begins execution. The three I/O connections are called standard input (stdin), standard output (stdout) and standard error (stderr). Originally I/O happened via a physically connected system console (input via keyboard, output via monitor), but standard streams abstract this. When a command is executed via an interactive shell, the streams are typically connected to the text terminal on which the shell is running, but can be changed with redirection, e.g. via a pipeline. More generally, a child process will inherit the standard streams of its parent process.

Users generally know these streams as mediums by which text incoming from an input device and text outgoing to display are handled. As they are used for input and output devices, they generally contain text, a sequence of characters in a predetermined encoding, such as Latin-1 or UTF-8.
These streams can also be chained; the output of a program can then be the input of another one. A well-known example is the use of a pager such as more, which gives the user a way to control which part of the output stream appears on the display.
Although the familiar interactive usage is for the standard streams to contain text, they are also often used to transfer arbitrary binary data.
In most operating systems predating Unix, programs had to explicitly connect to the appropriate input and output devices. OS-specific intricacies caused this to be a tedious programming task. On many systems it was necessary to obtain control of environment settings, access a local file table, determine the intended data set, and handle hardware correctly in the case of punch card reader, magnetic tape drive, disk drive, line printer, card punch, or interactive terminal.
One of Unix's several groundbreaking advances was abstract devices, which removed the need for a program to know or care what kind of devices it was communicating with. Older operating systems forced upon the programmer a record structure and frequently non-orthogonal data semantics and device control. Unix eliminated this complexity with the concept of a data stream: an ordered sequence of data bytes which can be read until the end of file. A program may also write bytes as desired and need not (and can't easily) declare how many there will be, or how they will be grouped.
Another Unix breakthrough was to automatically associate input and output by default — the program (and programmer) did absolutely nothing to establish input and output for a typical input-process-output program (unless it chose a different paradigm). In contrast, previous operating systems usually required some—often complex—job control language to establish connections, or the equivalent burden had to be orchestrated by the program.
Since Unix provided standard streams, the Unix C runtime environment was obliged to support it as well. As a result, most C runtime environments (and C's descendants), regardless of the operating system, provide equivalent functionality.
Standard input (stdin)
Standard input is stream data (often text) going into a program. The program requests data transfers by use of the read operation. Not all programs require stream input. For example, the dir and ls programs (which display file names contained in a directory) may take command-line arguments, but perform their operations without any stream data input.
Unless redirected, standard input is expected from the keyboard which started the program.
The file descriptor for standard input is 0 (zero); the POSIX
Standard output (stdout)
Standard output is the stream where a program writes its output data. The program requests data transfer with the write operation. Not all programs generate output. For example the file rename command (variously called mv, move, or ren) is silent on success.
Unless redirected, standard output is the text terminal which initiated the program.
The file descriptor for standard output is 1 (one); the POSIX
Standard error (stderr)
Standard error is another output stream typically used by programs to output error messages or diagnostics. It is a stream independent of standard output and can be redirected separately. This solves the semipredicate problem, allowing output and errors to be distinguished, and is analogous to a function returning a pair of values – see Semipredicate problem: Multivalued return. The usual destination is the text terminal which started the program to provide the best chance of being seen even if standard output is redirected (so not readily observed). For example, output of a program in a pipeline is redirected to input of the next program, but errors from each program still go directly to the text terminal.
It is acceptable—and normal—for standard output and standard error to be directed to the same destination, such as the text terminal. Messages appear in the same order as the program writes them, unless buffering is involved. (For example, a common situation is when the standard error stream is unbuffered but the standard output stream is line-buffered; in this case, text written to standard error later may appear on the terminal earlier, if the standard output stream's buffer is not yet full.)
The file descriptor for standard error is defined by POSIX as 2 (two); the
Most shells allow both standard output and standard error to be redirected to the same file using
&> filename
Bourne-style shells allow standard error to be redirected to the same destination that standard output is directed to using
csh-style shells allow standard error to be redirected to the same destination that standard output is directed to using
Standard error was added to Unix after several wasted phototypesetting runs ended with error messages being typeset instead of displayed on the user's terminal. [3]
1950s: Fortran
Fortran has the equivalent of Unix file descriptors:
UNIT=5 for stdin,
UNIT=6 for stdout and
UNIT=0 for stderr.
! FORTRAN 77 example
ALGOL 60 was criticized for having no standard file access.
ALGOL 68's input and output facilities were collectively referred to as the transput.[4] Koster coordinated the definition of the transput standard. The model included three standard channels:
stand in,
stand out, and
stand back.
# ALGOL 68 example #
REAL number;
getf(stand in,($g$,number));
printf(($"Number is: "g(6,4)"OR "$,number)); # OR #
putf(stand out,($" Number is: "g(6,4)"!"$,number));
newline(stand out)
Number is: +3.142 OR Number is: +3.142!
1970s: C and Unix
In the C programming language, the standard input, output, and error streams are attached to the existing Unix file descriptors 0, 1 and 2 respectively.[5] In a POSIX environment the <unistd.h> definitions STDIN_FILENO, STDOUT_FILENO or STDERR_FILENO should be used instead rather than magic numbers. File pointers stdin, stdout, and stderr are also provided.
Thompson modified sort in Version 5 Unix to accept "-" as representing standard input, which spread to other utilities and became a part of the operating system as a special file in Version 8. Diagnostics were part of standard output through Version 6, after which Dennis M. Ritchie created the concept of standard error.[6]
1995: Java
In Java, the standard streams are referred to by
System.in (for stdin),
System.out (for stdout), and
System.err (for stderr).[7]
public static void main(String args[]) {
try {
BufferedReader br =
new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String s = br.readLine();
double number = Double.parseDouble(s);
System.out.println("Number is:" + number);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Error:" + e.getMessage());
Or you can use the
Scanner class of package java.util.
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
while(sc.hasNextLine()) {
String line = sc.nextLine();
try {
double number = Double.parseDouble(line);
System.out.println("Number is: " + number);
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println("Error:" + e.getMessage());
2000s: .NET
In C# and other .NET languages, the standard streams are referred to by
System.Console.In (for stdin),
System.Console.Out (for stdout) and
System.Console.Error (for stderr). Basic read and write capabilities for the stdin and stdout streams are also accessible directly through the class
System.Console (e.g.
System.Console.WriteLine() can be used instead of
System.Console.Out and
System.Console.Error are
System.IO.TextReader (stdin) and
System.IO.TextWriter (stdout, stderr) objects, which only allow access to the underlying standard streams on a text basis. Full binary access to the standard streams must be performed through the
System.IO.Stream objects returned by
System.Console.OpenStandardOutput() and
System.Console.OpenStandardError() respectively.
// C# example
public static int Main(string[] args)
try {
string s = System.Console.In.ReadLine();
double number = double.Parse(s);
System.Console.Out.WriteLine("Number is: {0:F3}", number);
return 0;
// If Parse() threw an exception
} catch (System.ArgumentNullException) {
System.Console.Error.WriteLine("No number was entered!");
} catch (System.FormatException) {
System.Console.Error.WriteLine("The specified value is not a valid number!");
} catch (System.OverflowException) {
System.Console.Error.WriteLine("The specified number is too big!");
return -1;
' Visual Basic .NET example
Public Function Main() As Integer
Dim s As String = System.Console.[In].ReadLine()
Dim number As Double = Double.Parse(s)
System.Console.Out.WriteLine("Number is: {0:F3}", number)
Return 0
' If Parse() threw an exception
Catch ex As System.ArgumentNullException
System.Console.[Error].WriteLine("No number was entered!")
Catch ex2 As System.FormatException
System.Console.[Error].WriteLine("The specified value is not a valid number!")
Catch ex3 As System.OverflowException
System.Console.[Error].WriteLine("The specified number is too big!")
End Try
Return -1
End Function
When applying the
System.Diagnostics.Process class (computer science) one can use the instance properties
StandardOutput, and
StandardError of that class to access the standard streams of the process.
Graphical user interfaces (GUIs) rarely make use of the standard streams. Consequently, redirecting GUI programs or constructing a GUI pipeline is neither practical nor useful. The nearest analogy is probably cutting (or copying) from one application and pasting into another. Since manual user operations are required, moving large numbers of pastes is not especially efficient. The Services menu, as implemented on NeXTSTEP and Mac OS X, is also analogous to standard streams. On these operating systems, graphical applications can provide functionality through a systemwide menu that operates on the current selection in the GUI, no matter in what application.
Some GUI programs, primarily on Unix, still write debug information to standard error. Others (such as many Unix media players) may read files from standard input. Popular Windows programs that open a separate console window in addition to their GUI windows are the emulators pSX and DOSBox.
GTK-server can use stdin as a communication interface with an interpreted program to realize a GUI.
The Common Lisp Interface Manager paradigm "presents" GUI elements sent to an extended output stream.

HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — A Virginia dairy cooperative says it's buying a vacant ice-cream plant in Hagerstown that produced Good Humor bars for nearly 30 years before it closed last year.
The Herald-Mail reported Tuesday that Valley Pride LLC of Harrisonburg, Va., plans to begin milk and ice cream production at the plant this fall.
Vice President Randy Inman says the products will be sold under the Shenandoah Family Farms label.
Inman says the company will begin production with 35 full-time workers.
He would not disclose the purchase price.
The plant was closed by the British-Dutch conglomerate Unilever in July 2012. The shutdown affected 391 workers.
Unilever closed the plant to consolidate production in Tennessee, Missouri and Nevada.

THE OFFBEAT OCEAN: We marvel, sometimes, that a Hollywood blockbuster has not yet been written around the famous flying fish of Catalina Island. After all, the nature on the island certainly has Tinseltown ties -- the island buffalo are not native to the LA-close outcrop but were rather boated in for a silent film back in the 1920s -- and Catalina has been a movie star getaway for the better part of a century. You'd think that at some point some producer would have leaned on the bow of a ferry and thought "ya know, those fish that leap out of the water at night and flap a good distance could be the centerpiece of a supernatural franchise." Hasn't happened yet, that we know of, but we're thankful that the watery wonders still get their moment in the sun. Or moonlight, if you prefer, since they prefer to do their above-water flapping by night. And that moment? It's the annual Flying Fish Festival, which is set to flap again over Memorial Day Weekend 2013.
AT THE FESTIVAL: There are quite a few doings on land, where the flying fish distinctly are not (the word "fish" in their name is something of a giveaway there). Visitors can enjoy local foodstuffs at Taste of Avalon, visit some marine touch tanks, or watch a sand sculpture come together. And, yep, come nightfall, there are ways to get out on the water and search for the superstars of the weekend. We make mention now because 1) these nicer days put us in an island frame 2) it's never too early to discuss a fish that flies 3) rooms on an island can go over Memorial Day Weekend and 4) it's one of those things that many a California vows to see once but never gets around to planning. The trip to the island, booking a boat, the scheduling can overwhelm. But, really, there are just a couple of things to reserve, and then you're set. Don't you want to see something with gills leap out of the water and flit several yards through air? Seriously, eye this before Hollywood arrives to make it into next year's mega nature wowza tentpole movie. We're sure that's coming soon.
