Excellent containers! Review by Ashley
Price Value Quality We have this set and they are great. They go from the fridge to the microwave for warming leftovers and I don't have to worry about nasty plastics and toxins leaching into my little one's food. So easy to pop into the diaper bag when we're out and about so we always have a snack ready. The only issue is that if the jar gets squeezed in the bag then the lid will sometimes pop open, so for that reason I don't put yogurt or something that's going to drive me crazy in the jar in case it spills in the bag.
Would you recommend this product to a friend? Without hesitation!
My son loves to play with the containers and they are totally unbreakable.
I had originally bought the jars as a gift for someone else, but once I saw how cute they were I had to keep them for myself :P (Posted on 1/1/11)

Comments about Sauder Harvest Mill Panel TV Stand:
I needed a stand that would hold my older tube TV and this arrived quickly and was packaged very well. Not a mark or ding on it! I have to say that the instructions to assemble this stand was the best I have ever seen! I have put a lot of furniture items together and this was great. Explained everything and had great illustrations. Sauder, you get an A+ on this one! This is a heavy stand, not cheap and it looks like a very nice piece of furniture in my family room. It is not huge but is just what I was looking for. Would recommend, the price [...] could not be beat anywhere else.

HOTESS protestors show strength and organization By Gary Blair Problems at the Heart of the Earth Survival School (HOTESS) located in southeast Minneapolis continue to erupt. The latest complaints allege that school funds have been misused by school board co-chairman Clyde Bellecourt. Individual school board members, former staff and parents who protested last week at the school, say they'll ask the U.S. Attorney's office in Minneapolis to investigate the school's financial affairs. Allegations that Bellecourt has abused the school's funds were leveled at a meeting held Monday evening at the American Indian Opportunities and Industrialization Center (AIOIC) located in south Minneapolis. Bellecourt, who was ousted from AIM last year, was accused of misuse ofthe school's credit cards and of taking money for personal use and travel. The PRESS attempted to contact Bellecourt concerning the accusations but he was not available by press time. On Tuesday, three temporary restraining orders and one assault summons were served on three ofthe demonstrators who protested outside the school last week. Served were Rita Rogers, age 72, a longtime HOTESS board member, her daughters Jean Rogers and Dolly Rogers Means. Rita Rogers was also sened a summons to appear in court for allegedly hitting the school's new director, Timothy Woodhull, in the mouth with a pop caa The incident was reported to have occurred during a heated school board meeting. November 7th is the scheduled court date in the matter. Dolly Means is the wife of Bill Means, director of AIOIC, who has been a longtime Bellecourt supporter. (Bellecourt is president of AIOIC's board of directors.) Dolly Means also serves as a HOTESS board member. Bill Means recently resigned his position on the HOTESS board. Dolly Means told the PRESS on Wednesday "I am not sending my children to school with that maniac still there." Mrs. Means said her remarks were directed at the school's director Timothy Woodhull. She added that one of her children had attended the school for eight years and the other for four years. Signs for the protest were made by the school's students. Some of the signs read: "Honk if you don't like Clyde Bellecourt; No felons; No more drug dealers; Fire Tim; Impeach the board." The latest round of problems at the school evolved when many ofthe long term teachers' contracts were not renewed for this school year. Other firings and resignations occurred as well. School board meetings than became heated and rumors were confirmed that Woodhull was a comicted drug dealer who had served time for "conspiracy to distribute and possession with intent to distribute cocaine." Woodhull served 39 months in a federal prison at LaTuna, Texas, and was released November 6, 1992. He was hired as HOTESS' new director on July 16th of this year. Rumors that he had served similar time for similar crimes with Clyde Bellecourt, at the Rochester, MN, federal medical facility, were unfounded. Those who attended the recent AIOIC meeting say Woodhull has also been convicted of larceny and weapons violations and is considered dangerous by the Minneapolis police. They say police officers who were called to the school during the protesting told them about Woodhull's other charges and their feelings about him. They also say Woodhull, 47, claims to be an American Indian from Nebraska and plans to move his family to the Twin Cities in the near future. BIA funding issue stays off the table in negotiating session The U.S. Interior Department spending bill went back to a House- Senate negotiating committee, but the panel voted against restarting debate on whether to give more money to the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Senate voted earlier this year to cut more than $250 million from the BIA's $1.7 billion budget. The BIA budget is part ofthe $12 billion Interior Department spending bill, which had been approved by a House-Senate negotiating team. But the House sent the bill back after rejecting a provision that would have lifted a yearlong moratorium on selling mining rights on federal land for as little as $2.50 an acre. At the start of Tuesday's hearing, Rep. Ralph Regula, R-Ohio, the committee's co-chairman, said the committee would limit itself to the mining issue and a few other provisions so it could get its work done quickly. A proposal by Rep. Sidney Yates, D-Ill., to bring the BIA spending issue back to the table was rejected. The Clinton administration has threatened to veto the bill because ofthe cuts. But Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., said "I haven't heard the administration turn a stitch to try to help us find some funding for the Indian people." Domenici said he is considering not supporting the committee's final report when it goes before the Senate. Tribe files lawsuit to bar BIA pink slips YANKTON, S.D. (AP) _ Yankton Sioux Tribal leaders filed a federal lawsuit to haltBureau of Indian Affairs cuts they believe will jeopardize tribal members' health and welfare. The tribe filed suit in U.S. District Court in Sioux Falls on Monday. Tribal leaders want the court to follow the lead of a North Dakota judge who last month barred layoff notices from going to the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa. The BIA plans to implement a 10 percent cut that means eliminating 116 South Dakota jobs. That includes 10 positions in the Yankton agency. Named as defendants are the U.S. Interior Department; Ada Deer, U.S. Interior Department assistant secretary; Hilda Manuel, Indian Affairs deputy commissioner; and Joe Walker, acting director of the Aberdeen Area BIA office. The cuts will affect vital services to the tribe, said tribal lawyer James Abourezk of Sioux Falls. "Both the tribe and its members will suffer irreparable harm because the downsizing in the agency will directly affect the tribe's ability to provide for the health, safety, welfare and economic securitv of its State-Indian issues aired By Joe Kafka PIERRE, S.D. (AP) _ There will be little economic development on South Dakota's Indian reservations until tribal officials adopt codes of civil laws, Goy. Bill Janklow told legislators Monday. Businesses that may be interested in locating on reservations will hesitate to do so because of uncertain legal status, he said. "That's a tremendous limiting factor ... for economic development," the governor told the State-Tribal Relations Committee. The panel's ongoing duty is to help foster better relations between state government and South Dakota's nine Indian tribes. Officials from each tribe were invited to the session. Only one showed up, and another tribal leader sent a letter. Some tribes, such as the Yankton Sioux, have used gambling casino profits to branch out into other business ventures, said Rep. Jim Putnam, R-Armour. "Once one sees success, how can one not try to do the same thing in their area? They have solved some of their own problems." But Mel Lone Hill, vice president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, told the committee that gambling casinos are not as lucrative as some think. "Casinos are not the saviors of this country or tribes," he said. While reservation casinos in the more populated area of eastern South Dakota are doing well, others are struggling, said George Valentine, who has lobbied for many Indian tribes. "When you get out here in western South Dakota, you don't have any customers. You have to go get them," Valentine said. Buses must be used to bring customers from long distances, he said. Some progress is being made as state government continues working with Indian tribes over divisive issues, Janklow7 said. KESHENA. Wis. (AP) _ The leader of a conspiracy to sell cocaine and marijuana on the Menominee Indian Resenation is the wife of a recently fired tribal police detective, authorities said Friday. But Assistant U.S. Attorney Mario Gonzales said investigators have ruled out for now that the former officer hadany role in Patricia Brisk'salleged drug operation. In an indictment issued this week by a federal grand jury in Milwaukee, Brisk and 15 others were charged with conspiracy to deal cocaine and marijuana on the resenation and throughout northeastern Wisconsin. The indictment, made public Thursday, identified Brisk, 50, as the "principal leader and organizer" of the operation that began last year. James B. Brisk Jr., 19, who according to court documents "resides with" Patricia Brisk, and four other women identified as relatives of the woman were also charged in the investigation. The indictment names 10 people from Keshena on the resenation, two Tribal sovereignty more illusion than real/ pg 4 HOTESS protestors show strength & organiza./ pg 1 Anish. Maadaadiziwin: Peoples' New Journey/ pg 5 BIA funding issue stays off the negot. session/ pg 1 Report cites tribal casinos' econ. benefits/ pg 1 Voice ofthe The People 1 "There is a willingness by tribes, some more than others, to really sit down and resolve these things," the governor said. "We've got to work them out." Jurisdiction over fish and wildlife, law enforcement and taxes are the most difficult issues to solve, he said. The governor said he preferred working out differences with each tribe rather than trying to reach agreements all would find acceptable. Tribes are not the sovereign governments they claim to be, Janklow said. A U.S. Supreme Court decision said tribes are "akin" to sovereign nations, he said. Michael Sprang from the South Dakota Peace and Justice Center suggested that the state and tribes attempt to reach an accord, or diplomatic agreement, as a start toward improved relations. If state government is really serious about harmony with Indian tribes, it would return sacred lands that were taken from the Sioux manyyears ago, he added. Authorities say drug ring leader is wife of fired tribal detective from Chicago, two from Milwaukee and one from Green Bay. One person had no address. The U.S. attorney's office said the arrests involved the largest ever in terms of quantity of drugs dealt on the resenation. but no specifics were available. "They generated a substantial amount of money during this period," Gonzales said. According to the indictment, some of the defendants used "coded language" in telephone conversations to complete drug deals.

The tribe wants a federal judge to order the BIA to consult with the tribe before making any changes. However, if the North Dakota case is any indication, a federal judge may make little difference. After U.S. District Judge Rodney Webb of Fargo, N.D., decided it was premature for the BIA to send out pink slips, the agency disregarded his view and decided to go ahead with the notices. Deer Season opens Saturday November the 4th. Good Luck! Former tribal official sentenced Staff photo by Rainbird OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) _ A former Cheyenne-Arapaho tribal official was sentenced Monday to 15 months in prison for her part in an embezzlement scandal. Juanita Learned, 65, was the last of four former tribal officials who were convicted in July of fraudulently filing for salary advances, travel expenses and other items. U.S. District Judge Robin Cauthron also ordered Ms. Learned to pay $400 in restitution to the tribe and serve two years of probation when her jail term ends. Cauthron ruled the former business committee chainvoman caused the Concho-based tribe to lose more than $23,000. Ms. Learned was convicted on eight counts of taking funds from salary advances and travel expenses. The judge ordered her to report to sene time by Nov. 27, and she must complete 208 hours of community senice upon her release. Three others named in a 32-count indictment issued last March already have been sentenced. They are former state Sen. Mike Combs, a former tribal business manager; Viola Hatch, ex- tribal treasurer; and Mike Shadaram, former tribal finance director. Combs and Hatch each received one-year terms, while Shadaram was sentenced to 15 months. Each defendant was convicted of converting tribal money to their personal use by filing falsified claims for payments. The judge' s rulings and prosecutors' allegations state the tribe lost $67,213.26 in all from the illegal activities, which occurred between 1989 and 1991. The figures include alleged payments that were not part of formal convictions but which may be included under federal sentencing guidelines. Report commissioned by tribe cites casinos' economic benefits MINNEAPOLIS (AP) _ A report commissioned by a Minnesota Indian tribe concludes that tribal casinos, rather than hurting local economies as critics suggest, have prompted significant business growth in many rural areas. The impact of casinos on the growth of rural businesses "is not dramatically huge, but it's pretty substantial," said Stephen Hoenack, a professor at the University of Minnesota's Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs. Hoenack conducted the study for the Mille Lacs Band of Chippewa. According to the report released Sunday, communities within 3 5 miles of seven Minnesota casinos experienced an overall increase in businesses from 1990 to 1994, when tribal gambling grew rapidly in the state. Communities within 35 miles of seven other casinos saw a decline in businesses during the period, but the study attributes the drop to long-term economic problems unrelated to casinos. Instead, those casinos spurred the creation of businesses that prevented the decline from being worse, the report says. "People say we're killing Main Street," said Doug Twait, an attorney for the Mille Lacs Band. "We are afraid that mentality _ that we are benefiting at the expense of others _ has taken hold in Congress and the state Legislature." Proposals to tax or othenvise curb casinos have been made both in St. Paul and Washington. New businesses opened in response to a market created by thousands of people spending money at casinos, the reportsaid. Theenterprises include large motels, convenience stores, fast- food establishments, gas stations and retail stores; together they employ an estimated 3,400 people, the report says. The impact of tribal casinos on surrounding non-Indian businesses has been a hotly debated topic in Minnesota ever since high-stakes casinos opened in 1991 in the state. Non-Indian business operators have long complained that casinos divert leisure money from surrounding businesses and enjoy a competitive advantage because they typically are exempt from property taxes. Forty Report cont'd on pg 3 Casino-funded schools' executive fired MILWAUKEE (AP) _ An Indian school supported by gambling revenue fired its chief executive officer and seven employees and had them escorted off the grounds by security officers. Loretta Ford, who also sened as head ofthe Indian Community School board for 11 years, said the dismissals during a board meeting Tuesday were a surprise. "I was unaware of any reorganization that was taking place," she said. "If they thought there was something wrong, I should have been given a chance to correct it." The urban school has about 200 students and 89 teachers, controller Jim Green said. "Basically what you're looking at is a reorganization of the school," Green said. The school on the city's west side is supported by revenue from a downtown Potawatomi casino. The tribe and school get 60 percent ofthe profits while 40 percent goes to a management firm that financed construction ofthe gambling hall. Five people were dismissed and two suspended in October in the Potawatomi gambling operation. Ford said she was fired because she suspended a principal Oct. 20 in response to "serious problems at the school," declining to elaborate. The principal, Fred Bartelt, was reinstated Tuesday, she said. Also fired were the school's directors of security, culture and engineering, its student advocate, a clerk, a secretary and a security officer.

Written by PETA
Call me a hopeless dreamer, but I really thought we were going to get a bit of a break from hearing news about professional athletes taking part in vicious blood sports. The latest is that New York Mets all-star Pedro Martinez was videotaped taking part in a cockfighting event in the Dominican Republic. Cockfighting is still legal in the Dominican Republic, so Pedro wasn't actually breaking any laws, but there's a reason that it's illegal in this country: It's a hideously cruel, barbaric practice that's nothing short of torture for the animals involved. I know the guy has a reputation for being a headhunter, but this is taking it a bit far, don't you think? The damage is done now, sadly, but we're asking Pedro Martinez and Hall of Famer Juan Marichal (who was also present at the event) to take part in our "Developing Empathy For Animals" training seminar, which Michael Vick voluntarily attended after being charged, so hopefully some good will come of it. We're also calling on the league to offer animal-sensitivity training for MLB players.
You can read our letter to Pedro Martinez here, and there's a great post on the story by Deadspin's Rick Chandler here.
If you have a general question for PETA and would like a response, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. If you need to report cruelty to an animal, please click here. If you are reporting an animal in imminent danger and know where to find the animal and if the abuse is taking place right now, please call your local police department. If the police are unresponsive, please call PETA immediately at 757-622-7382 and press 2.

As The World Turns Gay Kiss
I love the christian "value" of hypocrisy.
On Friday, August 17th, the CBS soap opera "As The World Turns" featured two young men kissing. YouTube Video Here: VsX9RnoHGk">http://www.youtube.com/watch?vVsX9RnoHGk
Now CBS and Proctor & Gamble (the company that sponsors/produces (?) the show are taking a huge risk here. It's not common to have a gay couple on tv (especially any couples that aren't there for comedy) and here we have two young men starting a relationship. And I guess daytime tv viewers hate this.
Now for the hypocrisy. I just visited the As The World Turns Message Board and found these comments. (I appologize if the links are messed up. CBS, like many TV networks, have the most gawd-awful forum software imaginable.)
bettyjean9 said:
I have watch as the world turns for 30 years. How could you help to young men go to hell? I hope the find the lord Jesus soon be for it to late.
agoodmother said:
now that atwt had shown two guys making love in public, it has caused too much damage to soaps on daytime tv. it is such a shame and a waste of time.
It is bad enough that we constantly see men and women rolling around in the sheets and slobbering on each other, now you went to a whole other level. Shame on you, have you forgotten that children could possibly be in the room while this mess is rolling? I am very dissapointed in the show and like other viewers that still have morals and have the guts to speak out against this madness,
Remember, this is about a kiss. Just a kiss.
Those are a few examples. There are many more, but the posters usually only had one or two posts, so I'd count them as trolls then regular contributers of that forum.
Anyone who said that the Luke/Noah kiss was reprehensible to god and it was a sin seems to forget about everything else that goes on.
Think of all the lying, the cheating, the coveting, the other sexually "immoral" behavior. That's what these soap operas are. They're everything god hates in 60 minutes.
And these people get pissed because two guys kiss.
So thank you CBS/P&G/ATWT for pushing the envelope. Just make sure you push back when hypocrites come ringing your doorbell.
The YouTube video has one of those "content warning" screens on it. Even though it's a kiss. So here's a link to the vid which may work better.
Decided to add the video from YouTube. You know, to make hypocritical religious types mad.
Although, due to the
Although, due to the exigencies of work my interest has waned over the years, I admit, I used to like a good soap. A group of my Sigma Nu frat bros at U.K. used to watch All My Children during lunch, and we had a helluva time talking back to Wally, Devon and Billy Clyde Tuggle.
Then, during the summer of '91, when a knee surgery laid me up for a week, a friend's wife suggested I watch ATWT to kill some time. The oldest soap on TV, it still had some of its original characters: Nancy, Lisa (Bob, maybe?) and with soapland's penchant for tangled lineage (even though at one point I vowed, "By god, I will figure this out!") there was no way I could ever figure out who was related to whom.
My point is, even though I haven't watched a soap in years, I know my way around the genre. And I have to wonder: The typical plot points, i.e., lying, cheating, adultery, prostitution, bed-hopping, these things people aren't concerned about their children being exposed to, but two men kissing and they're apopletic? Gimme a freakin' break.
This comes on the heels of U.S. Sen. Larry Craig (R-ID) being arrested for propositioning an undercover cop for oral sex in a restroom, Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) being a client of the DC Madam's, and Jenna Bush's reported out-of-marriage pregnancy. I am sick to death of the phony hypocrisy of the family-values crowd.
I happened to have a Summer Friday a few weeks ago, and was on the stair-climber at the gym. ATWT was on one of the TVs hanging down from the ceiling. Again, I haven't seen that show in probably 16 years, and didn't know of this story line. As the two guys leaned in, I remember thinking, "OK, here's where the scene cuts away." To my amazement, it didn't. I don't know if CBS or P&G have intruded in any way with the show since, but I say good for them for having some balls, if only for a moment. But, you know, at the end of the day, it's all about $, so I plan to write P&G and tell them of my support.
I'm sorry this was so long.
I am a 44 year old gay male.
I am a 44 year old gay male. CBS & P&G should be APPLAUDED for finally recognizing loving gay male couples exist in our society. And YES, they begin their journeys as teens and twenty-somethings, just like the rest of the world. And YES, they can share beautiful moments such as Luke and Noah's kiss on the Aug 17 episode. I have read several message boards with both messages of support and criticism. Perhaps those who are so offended by two men kissing should realize for one moment what it is like for our community, who are beseiged by heterosexism daily, but are forced to endure it. Now the "kiss" is on the "other" lip... so be it! SO THANKS CBS & P&G. Please continue to show us you believe in equality for ALL people!
I have been watching ATWT
I have been watching ATWT since 1968 when I was 11 years old and my mother had it on the television. Then everone was sleeping with someone elses spouse just as they continue to do today on all the soaps. You have two young men kiss and there is such a negative response. Is this bettyjean hoping all of Oakdale finds Jesus? Come on give it a break. There are gay people. Get used to it. There not going anywhere. I think P&G and CBS have "Did the right thing" in showing that two persons of the same sex can show compassion and love. I will go out my way to purchase more P&G products of this.
As a straight guy as well, I
As a straight guy as well, I have spent some times watching CBS soaps with my girlfriend and was watching the show the day of the 'kiss' and I didn't know it was going to happen. I think my gfriend kept me in the dark thinking it would make me uncomfortable, but it didn't. Why would it? I think it was done tastefully and was kind of like..'hey so what, way to go guys'! If that is your thing, you need to be accepted and loved as str8 people are...think about how much we have been subjected to with the lying, cheating, murders, rape, blackmail on the soaps. Is that family values okay, but gay kiss isn't? We are basically a society of self-righteous hippocrits and need to get over it all. We should much more be concerned about nuclear war, education, health, economy, gas prices, crime and less about how two people choose to live their lives. So what? We need to not stick our heads in the sand and ignore things that should be fixed or worked on. I think today, 9/11, should stick in our hearts more than two dudes making out on network TV.
I personaly thought it was
I personaly thought it was extremly well done. KUDO's to the Producers and actors for having the Gonads to break ground on this very controversial topic.
What I don't understand is how and why are there so many Ostriches with their heads in the sand (or somewhere else) on this subject, after all it was "just a kiss". Hey Betty,Godsgirl and Goodmother, when was the last time you danced with another woman,held hands with another woman,kissed another woman. Women have been doing it for Decades and nobody has said a word about it.
I am 70 years old and have been Gay since I can remember. Only My GOD can judge me.
I think people are having a
I think people are having a fit because it wasn't a quick peck.
No, it a long, hot, passionate kiss. That's why the freaks called it "making love."
They must flee in terror every time Brad is shirtless. And Alison's porn star past must give them the vapors!
First of, let me state that
First of, let me state that I am a 29 y/o straight Catholic man. That should raise a few eyebrows right there! .gif" alt="smiley"/>!
Anyhow, I have been watching ATWT since I was very young, being raised by Mom and Grandma, you tend to watch what they do. I even got to meet Kim Zimmer (Reva, GL) last summer. So, I know this genre REALLY well.
If you're looking for a show that's the basis of moral high ground, don't watch soaps! .gif" alt="smiley"/>! I bet they use the Ten Commandments as a guide while they right, because I've seen soap characters break every single one of them.
As for my Christian brethren having such a conniption fit about this, lighten up. For cryin' out loud, it's JUST a TV show! If you don't like it, don't watch. It's not as if the kiss was full tongue on action. It was actually more tastfully done than some of the straight kisses on the show.
As a Catholic, I fully take Jesus' words to heart. If we judge others with harshness, we better be prepared to be judged by God is the same manner. We are NOT that final judge. It's always best to keep that in mind.
I think that this story has
I think that this story has been a great part of ATWT, they took a love triangle and made it very unique, not only did it bring in new viewers, but it also made me and others happy to see the gay community as more then a joke on screen, or a prissy flamboyant guy raving about clothes and hair. It is a story that can be relatable to a lot of teens and young adults who are struggling with who they are. I hope they keep these guys on and this story to really come alive in the coming months and years. Its important.
When in doubt turn to the
When in doubt turn to the bible.. seems to be the protocol when people see something they don't like . No one complained when Meg slept with Craig and then headed out and slept with Paul all in one episode but a kiss between two men causes an upraor. This story is amazing and I fully back it 100%. Love is love no matter who its between <3
"The Kiss"
Personally, I'd rather see two guys who apparently LIKE each other kiss than a man and woman doing it for recreation. The Bible-thumpers will always be around, and we have to put up with them, or better yet...ignore them.
The reason people feel safe quoting the Bible is that they never see themselves, just the activities and "sins" of others. That must be a pretty empty world for you, filled with false perfection.
And I love the nice little public announcements that say to 'practice and teach acceptance' and even lead into 'CBS Cares' yet if they practiced what they promote, they would not be such hypocrites and not show the guys kissing.
Im a 22yo christian male. I
Im a 22yo christian male. I firmly believe in the Bible and what it says about 'unnatural' relations but who are we to judge? It is not our place. Just look at the world we live in...its a dark, depraved world out there and complaining about it isn't going to change anything. Be a light. Like Joe said, if you don't like it, don't watch it.
Its just people's opinion
Who cares, its just their opinion. However, the majority of people probably feel that way so the networks should listen. After all, its still a business right?
CBS rocked the boat, but it was already rocking
The writers of the "As The World Turns" have accomplished two things with that single gay kiss scene. First, it definitely brought in more viewers as the controversial storyline was hinted at and then finally portrayed. Second, it brought in more sponsors for that particular episode (and possibly more). In the end, it is a business and the CBS brass are concerned about their bottom line.
On the whole topic of the controversy of the scene, I think that it was done very tastefully and not at all far from what's normally showcased in "As The World Turns." All soap operas are filled with topics of a sexual nature. This isn't any different. It simply brings to the forefront that same-sex relationships do exist.. even in the make believe world of soaps. I also understand that some folks do not accept this because of their faith and/or religious beliefs. However, I agree with your conclusion of hypocrisy. The show is already filled with sexually "immoral" scenes and yet no one whines about them.
The As The World Turns Gay Kiss scene was about keeping pace with the mainstream and creating a buzz that will make the company some money. That's all it is.
I am looking for a great way
I am looking for a great way to start a mininstry. Does anyone have any ideas?
Hello, I am a gay male. I
Hello, I am a gay male. I am out to my Baptist family, and all of my friends. I live a Healthy, Happy, and Blessed life! It is VERY VERY disapointing to see comments from so called christians to say something such as bettyjean, agoodmother, and godsgirl as in "help to hell" or "damage" and even "loss of morals." Well shall I ever speak my mind as well, since that is one amendmant i do still have. First of all, all three of you are hyprocrits for even bashing or judging others. If i should recall...there is a verse in the book that says something quite familiar to do not judge others for you will be judge ten times harsher and you are not the ones to decide my fate. I would so any day love to have any three of you tell that to my face! AND as well, the time you spending on here commenting, on the computer or even watching tv, could be use for bible study if your so worried about the world and so forth. I went to church for all my life, and not until the last 4 years when homosexuals started speaking out did so called christians show their true colors. Instead of praying about me and my fellow so called 'gays,fags,queers,lesbians,dykes' i think you need to get down on your knees and pray to better yourself and come closer into thy lord. by the way, we have the knee thing down pat! your prob just upset because your husband isnt getting pleased by you and you know it, so the payper view charges on your cable bill is higher than normal. Thats your own issues, dont take it out on those who have it down right!
Now everyone has the freedom
Now everyone has the freedom to choose how to live their life as long as it is not hurting others in any way. Society has gays and now it is very much acceptable, they are a part of it. To me the idea is repulsive but then it is a personal choice.
I have watch as the world
I have watch as the world turns for 30 years. How could you help to young men go to hell? I hope the find the lord Jesus soon be for it to late.
Gay kissing
As long as it is legal for men to kiss it shouldn't be a problem to show it on television. There is always a gray zone, but that affects both straits as well as gays.
for bettyjean9 and agoodmother
If you're really as 'religious and God-fearing' as you loudly protest to be, then you shouldn't have been watching ATWT in the first place, what with its sin, loose morals and depravity. Complaining serves to point them three hypocritical fingers right back at you. Switch off the TV and get on your knees for a change.
I can't
seem to find the problem here. Gay relationships are accepted today, and showing it on tv should not be a too big problem either.
ATWT Gay Kiss
GET A LIFE PEOPLE! It's tv. While your worried about that, you NEED to be worried about what drug your child is experimenting with, or who's about to impregnate your daughter. So two guys kissed!? You don't have to kiss either of them and you DANG sure don't have to watch the show. If you feel you have to, that says alot about YOUR life. You don't have the right to judge anybody. And for you 'so-called' religious people, you ought to know that GOD created people how HE wanted, not to satisfy YOU!
In my oppinion P&G is just
In my oppinion P&G is just capitalizing on a new way to sell more razor blades. Gay guys also need to shave. P&G invented the soap opera. it is just natural for them to do this and it will work

Screening for Gestational Diabetes
Topic Overview
Early detection
Experts debate whether all pregnant women need to be tested for gestational diabetes.
The Reference U.S. Preventive Services Task Force Opens New Window has found insufficient evidence to recommend screening women with no risk factors for gestational diabetes.Reference 1
But the American Diabetes Association recommends that doctors screen women:Reference 2
- At the first prenatal visit Reference if they are at risk for having type 2 diabetes.
- Between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy if they are not already diagnosed with diabetes using the Reference oral glucose tolerance test.
After delivery
Even though your gestational diabetes will probably go away after your baby is born, you are at risk for gestational diabetes again and for type 2 diabetes later in life. Up to 60 out of 100 women who develop gestational diabetes will develop type 2 diabetes later in life.Reference 3
You may also have a follow-up glucose tolerance test 6 to 12 weeks after your baby is born or after you stop breast-feeding your baby. If the results of this test are normal, you will still need to be Reference tested for type 2 diabetes at least every 3 years. If that test shows that your blood sugar is slightly high, you may have a condition called prediabetes. If you have prediabetes, you can help prevent type 2 diabetes by changing the way you eat, exercising regularly, and being tested for diabetes every year. For more information, see the topic Reference Prediabetes.
If you want to get pregnant again, you should be tested for diabetes before you become pregnant and also early in your pregnancy.
For more information, see the topic Reference Gestational Diabetes.

EOF - No 2.7 Kernel?
At the 2004 Linux Kernel Summit, the core kernel developers announced they weren't creating a 2.7 development kernel anytime soon. They said they liked the way things were going and didn't want to change things. This caused a lot of confusion, so this article is an attempt to explain.
During the 2.5 kernel development cycle, the top-level maintainers' process changed. Before Linus started using the BitKeeper version control system, kernel maintainers would send Linus 10–20 patches at once, then wait for him to release a snapshot to determine whether the patches had made it in. If not, they would try again. This worked pretty well for more than ten years.
Early in the 2.5 development cycle, a huge flame war over dropped patches ended with Linus deciding to try BitKeeper. After much hacking by the BitKeeper developers to clean up some features that kernel developers needed, Linus released the 2.5.3 kernel on February 2, 2002, and announced he was going to use BitKeeper. This really didn't change the way the majority of kernel developers worked. They still send patches to the upper-level maintainers and wait. But for the small subset of maintainers that decided to use BitKeeper, life changed a lot. They would create a BitKeeper tree, populate it with the changes they wanted to send to Linus and then point Linus to it. He would suck the patches into his tree and merge any minor conflicts with other people's work.
BitKeeper had some unexpected consequences. First, everyone had an up-to-date view of Linus' tree at any moment. A few developers, including Peter Anvin and Jeff Garzik, created the ability to make nightly snapshots appear as patches at kernel.org. They also, with the help of the BitKeeper developers, created CVS and Subversion repositories for users of those version control systems.
Knowledge of the current state of the tree meant maintainers could start sending patches to Linus faster and see when he accepted them. Instead of waiting two weeks for a new snapshot, they could send in more changes immediately. The rate of kernel development instantly increased.
Second, every patch accepted into Linus' tree started going to a mailing list, which enabled everyone to see changes. Developers could watch what was happening in all parts of the kernel, see the reasoning as explained in changelog entries and point out problems. The list increased the peer review process, allowing new bugs to be noticed sooner, while the area of development was still fresh in the developer's mind.
On October 31, 2002, kernel developers announced the 2.6 feature-freeze. On July 7, 2003, the first 2.6.0-test1 kernel was released, and the maintainer process changed again. Andrew Morton started being the funnel to Linus for almost all patches. However, maintainers that used BitKeeper kept having their trees being pulled directly in by Linus. Finally, on December 17, 2003, the 2.6.0 kernel was released, representing an average of 1.66 changes per hour for the 680 days of 2.5 and 2.6 development.
The next five 2.6.x kernel releases happened about every month, with 538–1,472 changes per release. Then, with the 2.6.5 kernel things started to move much more quickly; 2.6.6 came out with 1,757 changes, and 2.6.7 had 2,306 changes. From 2.6.0 to 2.6.7, the stable kernel, at 2.2 patches per hour, was changing at a rate greater than the "development" kernel had. But, the 2.6.7 kernel was the most stable Linux kernel ever, by a wide range of benchmarks and regression tests.
Have the core kernel developers gone mad and started to add untested code willy-nilly? No. In 2.6, Andrew Morton continued to stage all proposed patches for testing before sending them to Linus. Maintainers using BitKeeper would check the status of their patches in Andrew's tree, and if no problems were found, they would ask Linus to accept them.
So, all changes now are being tested by users in the -mm tree. This is different from how things had been done before. Now, patches are tested, built, used and abused by users in the world before being deemed acceptable. If a specific patch or set of patches is found to have problems, Andrew simply drops them from his tree and forces the original developer to fix the issues.
Because of the ability for a wider range of testing of patches to go into the tree, the development process for 2.6 will consist of the following: 1) Linus releases a 2.6 kernel release. 2) Maintainers flood Linus with patches that have been proven in the -mm tree. 3) After a few weeks, Linus releases a -rc kernel snapshot. 4) Everyone recovers from the barrage of changes and starts to fix any bugs found in the -rc kernel. 5) A few weeks later, the next 2.6 kernel is released and the cycle starts all over again.
However, if a set of kernel changes ever appears that looks to be quite large and intrusive, a 2.7 kernel might be forked to handle it. Linus will do this, putting the new experimental patches into that tree. Then he will continue to pull all of the ongoing 2.6 changes into the 2.7 kernel, as the 2.7 kernel stabilizes. If it turns out that the 2.7 kernel is taking an incorrect direction, the 2.7 kernel will be deleted, and everyone will continue on with the 2.6 tree. If the 2.7 tree becomes stable, it either will be merged back into the 2.6 tree, or it will be declared 2.8.
All of this is being done because kernel developers are working very well together in the current situation. Large changes that are arguably rather intrusive, like the change from 8k to 4k kernel stacks, are being merged into the "stable" kernel series. Users have access to the latest features with a greatly reduced delay time. Distributions can provide a more stable kernel to their customers, as they are not forced to backport features from the "development" kernel into their "stable" kernel, as was the case during the 2.5 development series.
Quicker development ensures that the in-kernel API will change constantly. This always has been the case for Linux, but now it is even more pronounced. Thus, any kernel modules that are not kept in the main kernel.org tree quickly will stop working. It is essential that these modules be added to the main kernel tree. That way, any API changes also are made to the affected modules, and all users benefit from the added features these modules provide.
The process really hasn't changed suddenly, it has evolved slowly into something that has been working quite well—so well in fact, no one outside of the kernel community realized it had changed, only that they were using the best Linux kernel ever.
Greg Kroah-Hartman currently is the Linux kernel maintainer for a variety of different driver subsystems. He works for IBM, doing Linux kernel-related things, and can be reached at email@example.com.

Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Free Webinar: Hadoop
How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the "typical" Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Health Information
Basic Dental Care
Infants and Children
A child's dental care really starts with his or her mother's healthy pregnancy, because baby teeth begin to form before birth. If you are pregnant, make sure to eat a balanced, Reference nutritious diet and get an adequate amount of vitamins and minerals. It's important for pregnant women to have a complete dental exam and have any cavities or gum disease treated.
Your child's first teeth (Reference primary teeth Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window) usually begin to break through the gums (erupt) at about 6 months of age, although the Reference timing Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window varies among children. All of the 20 primary teeth should come in between the ages of 6 months and 3 years. Your child will lose his or her primary teeth between the ages of 6 and 11. For more information, see the topic Reference Teething.
Your child's first Reference permanent teeth Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window (Reference molars Opens New Window) usually erupt behind the primary teeth at about age 6. The last permanent teeth usually erupt between the ages of 12 and 21.
See more information on your Reference child's tooth development.
Starting dental care for children
By the time your child is 6 months of age, your doctor should assess the likelihood of your child having future dental problems. This may include a dental exam of the mother and her dental history, as the condition of her teeth can often predict her child's teeth. If the doctor thinks your child will have dental problems, be sure your child sees a dentist by his or her first birthday or 6 months after the first Reference primary teeth appear Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window, whichever comes first. After your first visit, schedule regular visits every 6 months or as your dentist recommends.
Experts recommend that your child's dental care start at 12 months of age. Babies with dental problems caused by injury, disease, or a developmental problem should be seen by a children's (pediatric) dentist right away. If these dental problems are not limited to the surfaces of the teeth, your baby should also be seen by a children's doctor (pediatrician) or your family doctor.
For more information, see the topic:
Caring for your child's teeth
It's best to start good oral health habits before permanent teeth come in.
- Parents and caregivers often share spoons, forks, and other utensils with babies. The saliva you may leave on the utensil contains bacteria that can cause tooth decay. Sometimes, kissing can also transfer bacteria. You can help prevent early childhood tooth decay in your child by making sure that your family practices good dental health habits. Keeping your own teeth and gums healthy reduces the risk of transferring tooth decay bacteria to your child.
- Do not put your infant or small child to bed with a bottle of milk, formula, juice, or other product that contains sugar. The sugar and acids in these liquids can cause tooth decay (Reference bottle mouth Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window). Do not prop the bottle up in your baby's mouth. Remove the bottle as soon as your baby is done feeding or is asleep. Breast-feeding your infant to sleep is safe, however. Encourage your baby to begin drinking from a cup at about 4 to 6 months of age.
- Discuss your child's Reference fluoride needs with your dentist if your local water supply does not contain enough fluoride. To find out, call your local water company or health department. If you have your own well, have your water checked to determine whether your family needs fluoride from other sources. You may also need to provide fluoride to your children if you use bottled water for cooking or drinking. Normal amounts of fluoride added to public water supplies and bottled water are safe for children and adults. If your child needs extra fluoride, your dentist may recommend supplements. Use these supplements only as directed. And keep them out of reach of your child. Too much fluoride can be toxic and can stain a child's teeth.
- Give your child nutritious foods to maintain healthy gums, develop strong teeth, and avoid tooth decay. These include whole grains, vegetables, and fruits. Try to avoid foods that are high in sugar and processed carbohydrates, such as pastries, pasta, and white bread.
- Do not give your child mouthwashes that contain alcohol. If your child age 6 or older has cavities, ask the dentist if your child should try mouthwash that contains fluoride. But watch to make sure your child does not swallow it.
- Keep your child away from cigarette smoke (Reference secondhand smoke Opens New Window). Tobacco smoke may contribute to the development of tooth decay, gum disease, and other health issues.Reference 1 As your child grows, teach him or her about the dangers of smoking and secondhand smoke.
- Children play hard, sometimes hard enough to knock out or break a tooth. Learn how to prevent injuries to teeth and what to do in a dental emergency. For more information, see the topic Reference Mouth and Dental Injuries.
- If your child sucks his or her fingers or thumb, help your child to stop. If the child can't stop, see your dentist. For more information, see the topic Reference Thumb-Sucking.
Brushing and flossing
- Start cleaning your child's teeth with a soft cloth or gauze pad as soon as the teeth come in. As more teeth erupt, clean teeth with a soft toothbrush.
- Because too much fluoride can be toxic and can stain a child's teeth, ask your doctor or dentist if it's okay to use fluoride toothpaste. Reference Brush your child's teeth for the first few years, until your child can do it alone (usually at about age 3). Teach your child not to swallow the toothpaste.
- Your child can learn how to brush his or her own teeth at about age 3. Children should be brushing their own teeth morning and night by age 4, although you should supervise and check for proper cleaning.
- Give your child a small, soft toothbrush, and apply fluoridated toothpaste in an amount about the size of a small green pea. Encourage your child to watch you Reference brush your teeth at a proper angle Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window, so he or she knows how to brush the right way. A good teaching method is to have your child brush in the morning and you brush at night until your child masters the skill.
- Start flossing your child's teeth as soon as they touch each other. You may find Reference plastic flossing tools Opens New Window Reference Opens New Window helpful. Talk with your dentist about the right timing and technique to floss your child's teeth and how to teach your child to floss.
- Use Reference disclosing tablets from time to time to see whether any plaque is left on the teeth after brushing. Disclosing tablets are chewable and will color any plaque left on the teeth after the child brushes. You can buy these at most drugstores.

The service provided by everyone from organising this holiday and throughout the two weeks has been excellent.
In terms of the itinery the visits to the Orkney and Shetland islands which we saw as an added bonus did not disappoint. The Norwegian fjords which we have for long wished to visit just have to be seen. The ability of the m/s Expedition to get into the more interesting ones and enable guests to get on land to visit exhibitions and places was terrific. Spitsbergen was also the same case but was certainly beyond our expectations. It is a truly magnificent and unusual place made all the more real by our ability to navigate up and just into the ice-sheet and take the Zodiacs to enable us to get onshore. (ELN - 30th May 2011)

Bernanke Keeps Door Open for More Easing
Published: 3/26/2012
The Fed chairman spoke before business economists about the labor market. His findings implied that monetary policy should stay accommodative, and kept the door open for more action.
- In a speech before the National Association of Business Economists, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke reviewed two important labor-market issues: why the labor market has been outperforming growth, and why long-term unemployment remains so high. In both cases, his findings pointed to the need for continued, highly accommodative Fed policies.
- He argued that the recent strong performance of the labor market may reflect the "flip-side" of fear-driven layoffs during the worst part of the recession. If so, further sharp drops in unemployment will require faster economic growth.
- He also argued that the high level of long-term unemployment remains mostly due to cyclical rather than structural factors.
- The implications? The Fed should keep monetary policy extremely accommodative as it waits to see whether labor-market improvements are followed by faster growth. In addition, we can conclude that QEIII (or a sterilized version of QE III) remains on the table as a possibility for later this year should growth fail to pick up.
Chairman Bernanke reviewed two important labor-market issues before a meeting of the National Association of Business Economists today—issues with important implications for the conduct of monetary policy.
Unemployment and Economic Growth
Unemployment has been falling more rapidly than economists would normally have expected given the tepid pace of economic growth. In fact, over the course of 2011, it is surprising that unemployment fell at all. From the fourth quarter of 2010 to the fourth quarter of 2011, the unemployment rate fell by nine-tenths of a percentage point, from 9.6% to 8.7%, while the rate of GDP growth was 1.6%. Since a growth rate of 1.6% is below even pessimistic estimates of the economy's long-run growth potential, normally one would have expected the unemployment rate to have risen, not fallen.
The long-established "Okun's Law" (really a statistical regularity, not a law) says that the unemployment rate falls by one-half a percentage point for every one-percentage-point excess of actual growth over potential growth. So, if we take a cautious view and peg the economy's potential growth rate at 2.0%, a drop in unemployment of nine-tenths would normally be associated with a 3.8% growth rate, not 1.6%.
In 2012, the labor-market improvement has if anything accelerated, but growth remains modest, most likely around 2% for GDP in the first quarter. So the puzzle remains—and it is one that is greatly exercising minds at the Federal Reserve as they ponder their monetary policy options.
The Fed chairman considered a number of possible explanations for the apparent conflict between unemployment and growth data:
- It might reflect statistical noise (i.e., growth has really been better than estimated). He said that this is "certainly possible," but noted that there's no specific evidence for this yet. In particular, the evidence on gross domestic income (calculated by adding up incomes, in contrast to GDP, which is calculated by adding up spending) currently shows less growth than GDP in 2011, rather than more.
- It might reflect potential workers giving up and leaving the labor force, so that the unemployment rate is overstating the improvement in the labor market. He pointed out that a broader measure of labor underutilization (including people only marginally attached to the labor force) has come down roughly in line with the unemployment rate since late 2010, suggesting that the fall in the unemployment rate is not due to people leaving the labor force and becoming "marginally attached." We would argue that declining participation has played an important role in lowering the unemployment rate over the whole period since its peak in late 2009, but that it has been far less important over the past year, i.e., the recent improvement reflects a genuine acceleration in employment growth.
- The final explanation considered by Bernanke is that the employment improvement reflects a "catch-up" from the huge job losses during and just after the recession. Okun's Law broke down during and after the recession in the exact opposite way to today, i.e., unemployment rose much more than one would have expected based on economic growth. This may have reflected "fear-driven" layoffs that took employment down more than justified based on the loss of demand—a shortfall that is now being reversed. We would add that during the downturn firms may have made severe cutbacks in functions not immediately important for short-term production – such as in marketing departments, planning departments, R&D departments – producing what looked like huge gains in productivity. Now that the "fear factor" is less important, and firms are planning for long-term growth again, they may be restoring these functions—important for long-term growth, but not for immediate production—resulting in what look like weak gains or even declines in productivity.
Bernanke did not wholeheartedly endorse the "catch-up" explanation—but he gave it more favorable treatment than the other two. The implication? To the extent that the catch-up has run its course (and we do not know how much farther it has to run), further rapid labor-market improvement will hinge on faster growth in demand and GDP. So the Fed will need to watch carefully to see if that acceleration in growth begins to materialize.
Long-Term Unemployment
The chairman also looked at the high rate of long-term unemployment. More than 40% of the unemployed have been out of work for more than six months—a level without precedent in recent history. Even during the 1982 recession, when the unemployment rate rose even higher than during this recession, the proportion of long-term unemployed peaked at around 25%.
The key question is whether this high rate of long-term unemployment means that unemployment is now primarily structural in nature (reflecting a lack of skills or a mismatch of skills supplied and demanded). Bernanke's view is that only a modest portion of the increase in long-term unemployment is due to structural factors, for several reasons:
- The job-finding rates (how many of the unemployed find jobs over the next month) of both the recently unemployed and the long-term unemployed all fell over the recession in roughly the same proportion. So the labor market worsened for all the unemployed to roughly the same extent—suggestive of cyclical rather than structural unemployment.
- Labor demand is weak in most industries and locations. This also suggests an aggregate demand shortfall.
- The rate of vacancies has moved up along with the rate of unemployment (suggestive of a mismatch)—but this is not unusual after a deep recession (employers may be more selective when hiring is not urgent; individuals may take longer to search when extra unemployment insurance is available).
Bernanke concluded that the substantial increase in long-term unemployment is primarily cyclical rather than structural. We suspect that the structural component of unemployment may be more important than Bernanke suggests—for example, "job-finding rates" have started to improve for the short-term unemployed, but have not yet done so for the long-term unemployed—although we would still agree that the high level of unemployment remains mostly a cyclical phenomenon.
If the labor market improvement reflected an economy "taking off," and if the remaining unemployment were mainly structural, not cyclical, there would be no case for any further Federal Reserve easing. Indeed, the Fed would have to start thinking about when to tighten.
But if the labor market improvement reflects a "catch-up," and cannot be maintained at the same pace without an acceleration in growth, and if unemployment remains mainly cyclical, then the Fed needs to stay highly accommodative, and to watch whether growth remains tepid or starts to accelerate. It also needs to keep further quantitative easing on the table as a possibility—whether unsterilized (balance-sheet expansion) or sterilized (in effect, an extension of "Operation Twist").
We do not think that it would take much—in terms of growth disappointment—for the Federal Reserve to come in with more easing. But if the Fed does act, a "sterilized" intervention seems more likely than a full quantitative easing. This could take the form of purchases of mortgage-backed securities, to try to hold long-term mortgage rates down, with the liquidity injection neutralized by borrowing back the proceeds at short maturities.

Get more info about target symbol
Friday, March 02, 2012 11:52 PM
Idea of code issue plugin is to analyze only poperties of classes that are decorated with precise attribute which is known to code issue plugin.
Properties that are decorated with specific attribute needs to be virtual because those are used by interception engine to mock around during runtime. Other classes does not need to be inspected.
Currently I ended up with the code as following:
var localDeclaration = (PropertyDeclarationSyntax)node; var semanticModel = document.GetSemanticModel(); var classDeclaration = localDeclaration.Parent as ClassDeclarationSyntax;
then I'm trying to investigate whether class is decorated with particular attribute:
var classSymbol = semanticModel.GetDeclaredSymbol(classDeclaration); var isDecoratedWithAtribute = HasTypeAttribute(classSymbol, typeof(MyAttribute));
With HasTypeAttribute() method I ended-up in the following way:
foreach (var attributeData in symbol.GetAttributes()) { var attributeClassName = attributeData.AttributeClass.ToString(); var t = TryGetType(attributeClassName, attributeData); if (t == null) { continue; } if (t.IsAssignableFrom(targetType)) { result = true; } }
So TryGetType() just tries to load the type from the assembly and looks if that is of atribute type code issue is looking for:
assembly = Assembly.Load(attributeData.AttributeClass.ContainingAssembly.AssemblyName);
This all workd great if class is directly decorated with that atribute - therefore code issue plugin can load the type. Problem may come up when class is decorated indirectly (with child attribute class, etc).
So question is - is there some mechanisms how plugin could retrieve more info about target type symbol, like retrieving CLR type (if it's avalable, I suppose that could be only if module is compiled), getting also information about inheritance hierarchy, etc.

Hi Valdis - You should be able to get information about inheritance hierarchy for any TypeSymbol by looking at the TypeSymbol.BaseType property. In fact all the information about the TypeSymbol that you may require from a compiler point of view should be available via the various methods and properties present on TypeSymbol - you shouldn't need to retrieve the CLR type (i.e. the System.Type).
Using TypeSymbol, you should be able to answer questions like
- what is the name of the type (TypeSymbol.Name for simple name / TypeSymbol.ToDisplayString() for fully qualified name etc.)
- is this a generic type (TypeSymbol.IsGenericType)
- what are the generic type arguments (TypeSymbol.TypeArguments)
- what is the base type (TypeSymbol.BaseType)
- what interfaces does this type implement (TypeSymbol.Interfaces)?
- is this type convertible to this other type (Compilation.ClassifyConversion())?Are you finding that some information you need is not available via TypeSymbol?

Monday, April 02, 2012 1:54 PMHi, Seems like everything I do need to check type for decorated attribute is present within the TypeSymbol. But what I wanted to do is not to check types by name but types by its type (strongly typed).

Hi Valdis - Isn't that the same thing as checking that the TypeSymbols returned for two occurances of the same type are 'equal' OR checking the fully qualified name of the type using the TypeSymbol? TypeSymbols for specific types can be compared (so long as the symbols come from the same Compilation). You can use TypeSymbol.Equals() for this / implement your own notion of symbol equality. You may want to take a look at the following earlier threads around this topic - here and here.
Currently, as far as I am aware there is no direct way to get the CLR type (System.Type) corresponding to a TypeSymbol in Roslyn. To do this, the compiler would itself need to reference the assemblies that contain the definition of the type. And if the type is defined in source, the compiler would probably need to emit it to metadata before it can return the corresponding System.Type...
However, for types that come from metadata, you could construct an instance of System.Type from the TypeSymbol by passing the (assembly) qualified name of the type to System.Type.GetType(). I think qualified name (which is essentially a format recognized by reflection) can be constructed using the info present in TypeSymbol and AssemblySymbol (although I haven't tried this myself yet). This should be easy to do for simple types - but may require additional work for more complex types (for example, the qualified name for generic types would need to include "`1", "`2" etc. suffix to indicate the number of type parameters - so you would need to translate the type name info returned from a TypeSymbol to this format). We are considering exposing a TypeSymbol.MetadataName property that would probably help for this (i.e. this property would return the name in the format recognized by reflection).
But this wouldn't work for symbols that come from source i.e. the type needs to be present in metadata before one can construct a System.Type for it...
Hope this helps!

Urinary Tract / Kidney Stones (Calcium Phosphate) in CatsPrint
Treatment As there is no effective medications available for this type of stone, dissolution of the stone is the mainstay of treatment. Surgery may be required to remove the stones from the urinary tract, especially in cases in which other procedures cannot be used. In some cases, the stones can be pushed back into the bladder if they are causing urethral obstruction. A technique called urohydropropulsion is often used for this purpose. This technique involves using a special urinary catheter inserted into the urethra to push back the stone into the bladder. There is also a new technique called extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy, which is minimally invasive. This technique works by producing shockwaves focused on the stone leading to breakage of the stone and subsequent expulsion through urine. After removal of stone by either technique, your veterinarian will use appropriate radiographic procedures to verify complete removal of stones. Abdominal x-rays or ultrasound are typically utilized at three to five month intervals to enhance early detection of stone formation to prevent repeat surgery. It is also important that the underlying cause of the stone formation be treated properly to prevent future episodes from occurring. Living and Management Typically, your veterinarian will prescribe a new diet plan for your cat. Such plans will help prevent future episodes from occurring. Likewise, it is important that you do not alter your cats diet drastically without prior consultation with your veterinarian.
