BOSTON (AP) — U.S. Sen. Angus King of Maine said that he's reluctant to endorse a federal ban on the kind of assault weapon used in last month's Connecticut school shooting.
BOSTON (AP) — U.S. Sen. Angus King of Maine said that he's reluctant to endorse a federal ban on the kind of assault weapon used in last month's Connecticut school shooting.
The newly elected senator, an independent, said in an interview with The Associated Press Thursday that he supports universal background checks and limits on high-capacity ammunition clips as proposed this week by President Barack Obama. But he said he hasn't decided whether to embrace the president's call to ban new assault weapons.
"Frankly, the more important aspects of the president's proposal is the expansion of background checks, which I believe is appropriate, and the limitation on the size of magazines," King said, adding that smaller ammunition clips would "most likely ... alleviate the risks associated with whatever the weapon is."
A gunman armed with an AR-15-style semiautomatic rifle killed 20 first-graders and six educators last month at Connecticut's Sandy Hook Elementary School. Obama this week proposed a ban on new assault weapons and said he wants to limit ammunition magazines to 10 rounds or less.
Asked whether he supported banning new assault weapons, like the one used in the Connecticut attack, King said, "I don't know."
"My friends who hunt in Maine — virtually everyone uses a semi-automatic hunting rifle," King said, noting that he hasn't seen the president's proposal in writing. "I'd need to see how it's worded and how 'assault weapon' is defined. I think it's impossible to say yes or no until I know exactly what's on the table."
A lopsided 84 percent of Americans back broader background checks, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll. Nearly 6 in 10 Americans want stricter gun laws, the same poll showed, with majorities favoring a nationwide ban on military-style weapons.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, said recently it's unlikely an assault weapons ban would actually pass the House of Representatives. Absent action by Congress, all that remains are 23 executive orders Obama announced that apply only to the federal government, not local or state law enforcement.

Tim Cain has a bird's eye view of Swain County's real estate market, and from where he sits, the news looks good.
Cain was hired to oversee the countywide appraisal of every home, lot and tract of land in Swain County, a periodic exercise used to determine property taxes. His firm, the Raleigh-based Assessment Solutions, has visited more than 85 percent of the properties in Swain County during the past nine months. His expert assessment: property values in the county have bottomed out and are now on the rise.
"There has been a leveling off, and I am really excited to see what happens this spring," Cain said. "It appears that they (property values) have stopped falling."
Although the numbers are nowhere near those shown in the 2009 revaluation, property values are close to pre-recession numbers recorded during the 2005 reval — a positive sign considering the plunge the market took during the past few years.
"It has picked up, and we are feeling optimistic that is will continue," said Kelly Stribling, president of the North Jackson County Board of Realtors, a local board that includes Swain County. "(But) It is certainly not like it was."
Homeowners are slowly starting to buy and sell property, though many must still reduce their asking price if they want anyone to bite.
"There is a slight decrease in pricing," Stribling said. "Some homeowners and sellers if they really want to move the property, they drop the price."
But, people are still willing to pay a good price for a nice home, she added.
Cain agreed, saying that a nice chalet near the picturesque Nantahala Gorge or Fontana Lake will likely see an increase in value since the last approved revaluation in 2005. Meanwhile, homes in Bryson City seem to have remained steady when compared to the 2005 reval.
"If you've got a house in Bryson City, we really haven't changed much," Cain said. "The numbers that we are seeing now closely mirror the numbers we saw in 2005."
Commercial lots will likely see an increase overall, while vacant lots, which were once destined to become subdivisions, will still lose some value.
"You've got a lot of subdivisions; they've got the infrastructure in place; (and) they are just sitting there," Cain said.
People had bought, what were then, choice pieces of property at a premium and made plans for development. Then, the housing bubble burst, and the properties have since sat vacant, waiting.
"People are waiting out the economy," Cain said. "They were demanding top dollar for their lots. And today, you've got developments that have gone bust."
The last few years have been "a scary time" for people who need or want to sell property, Cain said.
Property owners' hesitancy to put their lot on the market, and people's reservations about buying have made it more difficult revaluate parcels, a process which is based partially on the sale price of adjoining properties.
Realtors and property assessors are seeing only about one-third of the transactions that they saw five years ago, Cain said.
Each property revaluation is specifically tailored to an individual county and even a specific part of the county.
"There is a specific reason that people go to Swain County," Cain said. "It is a distinct place."
The market value is determined by how much the property has depreciated, how much nearby properties sold for and how any improvements affect the property's worth. A homeowner may spend $10,000 adding an in-ground pool, but the addition is essentially worthless unless it is deemed a valued amenity by homebuyers. The same is true for a $40,000 kitchen renovation. It is only as valuable as buyers in Swain County believe it to be.
Do-over of Swain's reval a good call
Swain County commissioners seem to have made the right decision when they decided to throw out the results of its countywide property revaluation in 2009 and call for a do-over.
The 2009 revaluation captured a snapshot of Swain County real estate values during the height of a market boom — and before everything went bust.
It takes about two years to appraise every home, lot and tract of land in the county, so that 2009 appraisal largely drew on 2007 values, when the market was still hopping.
Since someone's property value dictates how much they pay in taxes, a bunk appraisal based on no longer valid real estate values would have skewed what people legitimately should have paid in taxes.
So commissioner tossed out the results and decided to try again in a few years. That time is now here, and the appraiser leading the process said commissioners made the right call to hold off.
The 2009 reval that was tossed out would have posted a 30 percent increase to property values on average since 2005.
The do-over of the reval underway now shows instead of increasing, values are pretty much on par with where they were in 2005.
"The numbers are significantly lower than they would have been during that (2009) revaluation," said Tim Cain, president of the Raleigh-based Assessment Solutions.

Yeah, yeah, bring it on
Uh huh, with the ya ya, yeah
Just sitting around kicking it a little bit
I thought we would record something tonight
And I do want to dedicate it to two very outstanding people
I live the spirit of
Gentlemen Crispus Attucks and Mr. Marcus Garvey
Thank you so much
The Believer
If I were a believer, I believe I would believe in the beginning
Everybody's beginning
Mine, that my very first ancestors were front row and present
When God stepped to the mic
I believe from the creation of the Garden of Eden
The separation of the tribes
Our long marches across the desert
Being Yacub's kids
For instincts born in caves of ice
All, each and every one, the souls of one God
Granted earthly existence to allow each to earn
The blessing of transcending, time-traveling throughout the universe
With the blessings and well-wishes of my fathers, prophets of my own
No search, no fear no mysteries
We inherit the power to turn nightmares into dreams
For those of us who come from less than enviable circumstances
Dreams, good dreams, sweet dreams, dreams come true
Truthful dreams, truthful dreams become life
Life becomes belief, belief becomes live!
Live the life you believe
The American dream, the black American dream, the universal dream
For the sake of the unwritten laws of humanity, I believe in God
I believe in my ancestors, I believe in my offsprings
I believe in Dr. Sebi, I believe we must stop Willie Lynch'n each other
I believe in the truth, truth
See you next lifetime

DNA clears Houston man 27 years after conviction
A Houston man is expected to be freed this week after serving more than 27 years in prison — the longest time behind bars of any Texan who has been exonerated - for a rape prosecutors now say he did not commit.
Michael Anthony Green, 45, is expected to be in court today, when his attorney, Bob Wicoff, will ask that he be released on bail while the case moves forward.
If freed, Green would be the eighth local man let out of prison in recent years, and the second in a week, after serving time for a crime he did not commit.
"He is innocent," Wicoff said. "We've got the bad guys, too. We've pegged the bad guys."
Green was sentenced to 75 years in prison for the 1983 rape of a Houston woman based on faulty eyewitness identification, Wicoff said.
According to court records, a woman talking on a pay phone with her husband was abducted at gunpoint by two men at a Greenspoint-area gas station after midnight on April 18, 1983. They forced her into a car with two other men. Her abductors drove the victim to a secluded area, where three of them sexually assaulted her. The fourth man did not participate.
Wicoff credited attorneys and investigators in the Post Conviction Review Section of the Harris County District Attorney's Office with finding a pair of jeans stored in a warehouse that had been worn by the victim during the crime, then testing it for DNA evidence. The results excluded Green.
Statute of limitations
District Attorney Pat Lykos said the office has identified all four men suspected in the crime, including the three believed to have sexually assaulted the victim.
Three of the men have been convicted of other crimes and spent time in prison. Two are still behind bars, prosecutors said.
Because the statute of limitations elapsed, none of the men can be prosecuted for the crime, according to Lykos.
The prosecutor assigned to the case, Assistant District Attorney Alicia O'Neal, said the victim was aware of the development but declined to comment.
Records show Green appealed his case several times since 1983, to no avail. DNA testing still was years away from common use in 1983, but Green filed a motion for post-conviction DNA testing in 2005. Prosecutors took a swab of his DNA in February 2009.
Last month, O'Neal learned Green had been excluded from the DNA profiles found on the victim's jeans.
Two other men matched DNA that had been recorded in the national DNA database. A third man's DNA also was found.
Through interviews with the two suspects, investigators were led to two more men. Test results returned this week showed that one of those two, not Green, was the third man involved in the sexual assault. One of the suspects admitted he was there and said Green was not.
Faulty identification
Green was picked up the night of the assault by officers looking for a stolen black car in the area where the woman was raped. According to court records, when police spotted the car and pulled it over, the four black men inside fled. Police began stopping all black men walking in the area and detained Green, who is black.
Green and another man were left in a police car that night, illuminated by headlights, while the victim was brought to the scene. Court records say the woman saw both men but said neither was among those who had assaulted her.
Eight days later, however, police showed the victim a photo array that included Green, and she picked him out. Later that day, she picked him out of a live lineup.
The victim identified him in court four months later, after having seen him three times. He was the only person convicted of the crime, according the District Attorney's Office.
Wicoff blamed police for the false eyewitness identification.
"DNA freed this guy. Bad police work put him away," Wicoff said. "This was HPD's fault."
The district attorney's office said its investigation showed no misconduct or negligence on the part of the initial investigators or attorneys involved in either side of the 1983 trial.
'We can start sleeping'
Houston Police Department spokesman Victor Senties said police officials wanted to wait for the court's ruling and see documentation about the case before responding to any allegations.
In a news release, Lykos' first assistant, Jim Leitner, appeared to slam prior district attorney administrations for the length of time the case stalled.
"The evidence in this case had been sitting in the District Clerk's Office for 27 years, and no one had taken the initiative to do anything with it in the past," Leitner said. "The difference now is that you've got the Post Conviction Review Section looking into it - and that made all the difference in the case of Mr. Green."
Lykos declined to comment on Leitner's remarks.
Wicoff said certain court procedures need to be followed to have Green's actual innocence declared.
If Green is released, he said, that paperwork can be completed without the sense of urgency that has marked the last week.
"We can start sleeping at night," Wicoff said.
Green's only other conviction was a misdemeanor of evading arrest, for which he served 45 days. He also was arrested for car theft, but that charge was dismissed, according to court records.
$80,000 per year possible
Wicoff said Green has served the longest prison sentence of an exonerated man in Texas.
If he is ruled innocent, he could be eligible for a one-time payment from the state of more than $2 million, $80,000 for every year he was wrongfully confined.
The final ruling on Green's innocence will be made by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, which also is scheduled to review the 1990 sexual assault conviction of Allen Wayne Porter.
Porter, 39, was freed last Friday after the district attorney's office, in a similar investigation, uncovered evidence of his innocence. Porter had spent 19 years in prison.
Lykos said the case was a clarion call for a regional crime lab, a project she campaigned on, noting a backlog of rape kits continues to grow at the HPD crime lab. She has argued for more resources to be used for DNA testing in current and past cases.
"If this case isn't the poster case for the regional crime lab, I don't know what is," the district attorney said.

We have been busy with our family and the writing career, which we chose over the store; it has been going well! We wanted to let you know that Heidi's most recent novel has been out since June 21st (our 27th wedding anniversary) and is doing well. It is currently on sale for .99 cents.
Click HERE to buy.
Lord Haversham Takes Command is a highly-rated sweet traditional regency romance. See what reviewers have to say:
He was such a great hero and I felt for him. The double life isn't for the faint of heart, for sure. There are quite a few moments that made me laugh, especially when Harry's mother throws a party, but there's also some sigh-worthy romance thrown in and a good bit of suspense---the three best things to have in a novel I think. But best of all, the author gives us a really great ending. Julie C.
My absolute favorite moment in the book was what prompts me to give it five stars. There is a particular kissing scene--quite possibly the best kissing scene I have ever read! It takes talent to write clean romance that is delicious. Oh, my goodness, it made me want to grab my husband and do a little kissing of my own! Rebecca B.
I quickly fell in love with the two main characters, Mira and Harry. I spent every spare moment I had reading this book because it was so enjoyable. Unfortunately when it was done I was left thinking ugh how much longer until the next one comes out? Jen L.
I loved it. I loved the suspense, mystery, and high adventure in this story and the way Ashworth wove historic figures, events, and places into the story. As a former resident of Richmond on the Thames (with a flat just a stones throw from the Kew Gardens), and with a fascination for anything "Victorian", (including the Queen herself!), I can vouch for the veracity of Ashworth's real people and places. This is her best writing to date. Ramona Z.
Lord Haversham Takes Command is the 4th in my Miss Delacourt Series. For information about all of my books, click HERE.
Thanks again for all of your support and for making our sweet little store such a success!

This past Sunday, Hubby's Mom and Dad had a little garden party…
…In fact, the garden WAS the party!
I mean, look at all that COLOR!
The sky was a little gray that afternoon,
but that seemed to make the colors even more vibrant!
Mom and Dad have a knack for creating color contrasts in the garden!
Everything was in bloom, and very fragrant!
Even the tiniest of blossoms…
… seem to tug at your heartstrings.
So I went home, and brought some Outside In.
Go not abroad for happiness,
for see,
it is a flower blooming at thy door.

TEENpup 2009 Legacy available for Download
Subject description: Release Anouncement
Hello Everyone,
Release Notes for TEENpup 2009 Legacy: Today sees the fifth release of TEENpup and once again it's still based on Puppy 2.14 Why? Well mainly a lot of old Hardware just seems to work with Puppy 2.14. This time the iso has grown to just under 700MB's so that it will fit on a CD. As the focus for TEENpup has shifted to a Modern Operating System for older PC's which most likely only came with a CD Drive, it was felt that a 700MB size limit should be adhere to.
Also to attract users from Windows TEENpup default color scheme has been modeled on some of Vista's coloring. Also the way the menu Applications are worded might seem too simplistic for the average Linux User. It was felt that to win over new users; TEENpup's Applications had to be as easy to access as was possible. To someone new to Linux and coming across for example Applications called GIMP, ROX , GAMBAS, KAFFEINE to name a few, might be put off even opening them and it was felt that what an Application did was more important than its name.
So this now leads me to some of the Applications included in this release. It was felt that Open Office should be included with its Help Manual as well as being the latest version at time of release ( 3.1 ) as a large number of users, use a PC for Writing, Spreadsheets and Presentations and anything less wouldn't do. KDE's similar Office Applications have been removed. A number of new KDE Applications have been added. Also Pdrive's USB auto mount daemon has been turned on by default, detecting most USB devices that are plugged in. A lot of time has been spent fine tuning little details that make it easier for the average user to use TEENpup. Example: Seamonkey will recognize most common attachments in emails and open them when you click on them. No more searching through "bin" folders for the executables, which wouldn't be a hard thing to do for a seasoned Linux user where as a Linux Newbie would fine it almost impossible.
Also there's something I created called "Magic Scripts" which is a drag & drop arrangement. all you do is drag & drop say an audio file or video file and it will allow you to convert it to another format, simple!
Also included is Chinese, Japanese and Korean font support for Seamonkey and Firepup.
Those familiar with some of the Applications included in this release will find them to be an older version than is currently available, why? Well the main reasons are because their smaller, have less dependency and due to these reasons run faster on old Hardware and finally I can fit more of them in to the iso. Some users will feel I left out an Application which they felt should have been in TEENpup, well a lot of testing of different Applications was done over the last 15 months and for one reason or another it was decided to leave that Application out.
To those trying this release of TEENpup, I hope you find it modern, useful, reliable and most of all user friendly. Enjoy!
You can now download TEENpup 2009 Legacy from
It is now safe to download from Softpedia, the iso has been updated.

Hats off to you Sir, Mr Biles.
You bloody ripper. I'm a HUGE fan of your work - while I dabble with heaps of Puppy3 and Puppy4 puplets, and even have a few attempts at constructing my own - all roads lead back to TeenPup, as they say. If they don't, they should. TeenPup2008 was the clincher for me to seriously consider leaving the world of Windows, and now that I have a little experience in remastering Puppy etc, your projects stand out as Gold Standard constructions. I post little, but lurk lots - and I know there are teeming masses of us who are like-minded regarding your consumate expertise and consideration. Bit like Teenie groupies, embarrassingly...
Here's to a Very Happy 2009 Legacy.
Thank You

A LOT of work has gone into this and the praise is well deserved.
Best Puplet I have seen in a while.
Looks good, comprehensive programs - all seem working . . .
So bear that in mind whist I mention my experiences.
first of all I am using an Athlon 64 Dual core 5000 mhz
- so I am really suited to a later kernel and puplet
When I tried to load my default xorg settings I got the message
dc= stack underflow
and had to use xvesa
but eventually managed to get 1024 x 768 res in xorg (only one step down from my preferred res)
My inbuilt ethernet connection was not recognised
so I could not get online - tried a few things but no luck - may try an older machine in a moment . . .
No sound.
I like the care and attention to detail
The range of programs
and the layout is simple and straightforward
I feel the use of conky, of which I am a reluctant but growing fan, is better than the default in 4.2.1 (which is very good)
Barry has been updating the two series and I wonder if combined with
Teenpup (using the Teenpupsave.sfs, with the yet to be released 2.18 ) will be possible?
If anyone can mirror this and perhaps split into pieces for modem download, that would be welcome.
Another thing - John did mention that he was uploading this
and were was his wiki page a couple of days back
Well the Puppy wiki is being updated/scripted by Raffy and Pritish
and if we have a fan of Teenpup that is able to provide a web or
wiki page that would be a great contribution
I like Teenpup a lot
It still feels like Puppy but with a great deal of simple functionality added.
I feel like a teen (but enough of my personal life)

I'd really like to try out TEENpup, but the 1st boot halts part way.
Here's my thread on the problem.
Is 256MB RAM plus a 512MB Linux swap partition not enough?
Or doesn't it support a PCI to IDE RAID controller card?

Mine won't finish booting either, I forgot the error, but it's a common error that halts booting. I could try again and write it down.

Hello cthisbear,
Thank you for downloading from Softpedia. This confirms that the iso is ok.
To Sylvander and markofkane, I'm sorry to hear that TEENpup isn't booting for you. Basically when you remove all my stuff it's still Puppy 2.14 so if you've had problems booting Puppy 2.14 then the same problems will arise with TEENpup.
Basically I have access to 7 different spec PC's and TEENpup boots up fine on all of them. I guess TEENpup can't be compatible with all the Hardware out there.

So I guess the problem is the PCI to IDE SCSI RAID controller card.
I've had problems before with older Puppies being unable to see the HDD due to the controller being unsupported [I guess].
The smaller [older] Puppies manage to boot OK...
I guess because they can get bye with that amount of RAM and no Linux swap partition.
Whereas I guess the TEENpup RAMdrive is too big to go in the available RAM, so it needs a swap partition in use, but it cannot see the HDD, so cannot use the swap partition.
Any agreement on that?
Any way of by-passing that problem?
Make a swap partition on a USB drive?
Flash Drive or HDD?
Perhaps not worth doing if I cannot use the internal HDD.

Good job John.
How come you used Skype 1 instead of 2?
Wouldn't version 2 work?

Hello smokey01,
Your correct Skype 2 doesn't work with TEENpup's older Puppy series 2 base.
My wife 2 complains about not being able to use her webcam, but still chats on Skype 1 with friends and family because Windows takes toooo..... Looong..... to load up.

I also have a Boot error, I believe it maybe SATA Raid Controller (it is raid off /normal mode). It does a search of the drives then either reports can not find idecd, or idehd when booting via gldr.
Is there a parameter to pass? or is it that I have too new a hardware for the kernel ? 214R does work as well as the 214X (ttuuxx) is working.
Thanks, it could just be the onset of a senior moment.

Products / MIT 514 Plate Heat Exchanger
Plate Heat Exchanger:Plate heat exchangers are such devices that work with the principle of two different liquids making heat transfer in themselves. The liquid to be heated or the liquid heats, are totally seperated from each other with plates. In standart plate heat exchangers, there are 4 in-out ports and two of them are for heater liquid and two of them for heated liquid. With special production, it is possible to produce heat exchangers which have more than one heater or heated liquids.
MIT Plate Heat Exchangers is composed of:- Front frame with In-Out Connections and information on it,
- Top and bottom carrying shafts which are used for fixing plates,
- First plate that prevents liquid from contacting with frame,
- Flow plates which let liquids to pass and enable heat transfer,
- Fully closed last plate which prevents liquids from touching back frame,
- Back frame with assembly and maintenance instructions on it, which can move on the shafts,
- Washers and pins which enable to hold plates in a certain squeezing level.
In MIT Plate Heat Exchanger Tag that is placed front frame there are:- Model information of our heat exchanger,
- Plate number of our heat exchanger,
- Production number of our heat exchanger,
- Capacity information of our heat exchanger,
- Test and using temperature of our heat exchanger,
- Test and using pressure of our heat exchanger,
- Minumum squeezing dimensions of our heat exchanger,
- Ekin End�striyel contact information.

Lamanai High (GC19505) – GEOCACHE OF THE WEEK – January 10, 2013
This week, we will walk through a rain forest and climb the highest ancient Mayan temple to log a difficulty 5, terrain 4 micro geocache.
Located in the Orange Walk District in Belize, Lamanai High (GC19505) is known for the incredible experience that comes with finding the geocache. Not only is the temple the highest exposed structure of 108 feet (33 meters) for miles, it also provides a breathtaking view of the jungle and the nearby river.
Lamanai, a Maya term for "submerged crocodile," is one of the largest and longest inhabited ceremonial centers in Belize. It's an imperial port city that includes ball courts, pyramids, and several exotic Mayan features. Hundreds of buildings have been identified in the two-square-mile area, among the tallest of them is a cleverly hidden geocache.
It's been said that "the difficult part is getting there." Geocachers have the option of driving over rough roads or taking an organized day boat trip. Once there, the climb up the steep steps can prove to be a challenge despite the assistance of the rope. However, the final destination at the top of the High Temple provides a spectacular 360 degree view of the archaeological reserve, the exotic animals and forest, and the river.
Since February of 2008, Thumbs Up! has drawn more than 70 geocachers to travel to this location and experience an exciting adventure to find a cleverly hidden geocache.
The geocache logs describe detailed and fun-filled adventures that may otherwise not have taken place. One geocacher wrote, "What an amazing journey Team Muddyloon experienced traveling to get to Lamanai High! After securing transportation for an hour long ride into the interior of the Belizean jungle, we arrived at a floating dock to board our boat for the second part of our journey. We set out at 34.6 mph up the twisting and turning crocodile ridden New River. Approaching some fishermen in a canoe, our driver slowed down while the fishermen pointed out a big green snake swimming swiftly to shore. Proceeding onward, we spotted numerous birds and the ripples of crocodiles along the shoreline.
Approaching the ruins we felt like we had transported back in time, making us feel as if we were Indiana Jones. As we rounded a path the High Temple came into view. We stood in awe of the beautiful structure that was built over 3000 years ago and is still standing today. Now we had the daunting task of climbing the temple to the cache. As we reached the level the cache was hidden on we quickly searched and discovered the cache, signed the log and proceeded to the top of the temple. A beautiful 360 degree panoramic view granted us our final reward. Heading back down the river we were treated to unexpected bonus of seeing the branches of the trees along the river's edge rippling and then seeing the long strong arms of some Spider Monkeys swinging towards us. One Spider Monkey dropped into our boat for a banana and to treat us to a close up view before swinging back into the jungle and disappearing from view. Thanks for an adventure of a lifetime!"

We've all been there. Buying a pair of Legion of Doom-style neon purple Zubaz pants off Ebay after a heavy night on the ale only to wake up in blind panic at 6:30am and desperately trying to convince the seller that you we're identity frauded as you slept.
It's called buyer's remorse and it happens to us all – just ask Bury Football Club.
The League One club have released striker Jeanvion Yulu-Matondo just one day after the former Belgian U21 forward agreed terms with the Shakers following a three-week trial at Gigg Lane.
He played one game in Bury's reserve team and that was it. They'd seen enough, with Kevin Blackwell telling BBC Sport:
"If he had shown something in that game, I might have been able to throw him on the bench – he's on the next flight to Brussels."
Dayum son, that's cold.

In a nutshell: constipation sucks. Aside from being unbearably painful, it's also leaves you feeling queasy, gassy, and uncomfortable for most of the day. There are a handful of medication available to treat constipation, but if you're not big on ingesting chemicals to alleviate the symptoms, then here's an alternative: a revolutionary vibrating capsule by developed by Vibrant which is currently being tested by a team of researchers headed by Yishai Ron.
The vitamin-sized pill is programmed to start vibrating six to eight hours after it's swallowed. Instead of dissolving, it vibrates as it moves down your system. Eventually, it will pass the lower intestine, where it will theoretically induce movement to push waste down and prevent constipation from rearing its ugly head. A study done on 26 patients who had bowel movements only twice a week tried the pill and noticed an improvement with their pooping habits thereafter.
What do you think?

Mountain biking may have been born in the hills above Fairfax, but due to a vocal and powerful group that restricts mountain bike access, that's all it can claim.
Photo by Mtbr user kingshredd.
There could be no greater case of irony in mountain biking than the recent announcement that the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame will open inside the Marin Museum of Bicycling near the sport's birthplace in Fairfax, Calif. this spring. For those who've lived in Marin County, or ever tried riding mountain bikes there, you fully understand the irony. But for those who don't, let me explain.
Marin County has among the worst access for mountain biking in the entire United States. That's right, the hallowed birthplace of our sport has virtually zero narrow trail access in places like Point Reyes National Seashore, Mt. Tamalpais State Park, Olompali State Historic Park and on the vast Marin Municipal Water District watershed lands. No singletrack access at all.
Of course there is the very popular China Camp, but it requires a paid pass to ride. Though Camp Tamarancho on the flanks of Mt. Tam has some really fun singletrack–as well as an awesome flow trail built with hundreds of hours of volunteer labor–it's on private land owned by the Boy Scouts of America and requires either a $45 annual pass or a $5 day pass each time you want to ride it.
Photo by Mtbr user tburger.
The Marin County Open Space District (MCOSD) is the area's only land manager that doesn't outright ban mountain bikes, however they only begrudgingly allow it on a few token narrow trails. How nice of them. I mean, it's not like mountain bikers pay the same taxes that equestrians and hikers do to fund the salaries of MCOSD employees and their draconian anti-mountain bike policies.
As this column is being written, there is the biggest revision in the district's history happening called the Road and Trail Management Plan (RTMP). This RTMP revision will update trail access standards for decades to come, and it has already determined that mountain bikers are the second largest user group behind hikers.
Photo by Mtbr user Turd Ferguson.
So then if mountain bikers are the second largest user group according to the MCOSD, then why is it that out of 346 miles of "narrow trail" in Marin County, only 23 miles—or a pathetic 6 percent—is open to mountain bikes? Equestrians account for 0.4 percent of users, yet they have access to 91 percent of open space trails.
If that isn't frustrating enough, the most recent development is the hotly contested case of the Scott Valley Jumps. Built on an old homeless encampment with dirt and tailings from a train tunnel dug long ago, these jumps in Mill Valley have been in existence for more than 15 years. The jumps are a secret to nobody, and actually a staple of the local bike community.
MCOSD has known about the jumps for a long time, and conveniently, just as the RTMP process is in full swing they suddenly "discover" these illegally made jumps, making patently false public claims in this totally biased Marin Independent Journal article about how mountain bikers just recently built them, creating noise, hazards and environmental damage.
It's a perfectly planned public slap in the face to the mountain bike community right at a time when crucial decisions are being made about trail access in Marin County for the next couple of decades. But since the MCOSD is in the back pocket of a select group of hikers, equestrians and biased local media, future matters look rather bleak for mountain bikers in Marin unless a sea change of activism and involvement starts happening right now.
Adding insult to injury, an open space maintenance tax called Measure A was passed in 2012 by Marin voters. It was sold to the mountain bike community as a way to generate revenue for trail building, but is turning out to be a revenue source for the MCOSD to hire more rangers to patrol trails and issue citations for those caught riding illegal trails.
Mountain bike advocacy group Access4Bikes claims they are at an "unprecedented crossroads" for improving trail access in Marin County, and are doing everything they can to influence future plans. They've raised nearly $10,000 for the cause, much of which came from raffling-off a bike—a Rocky Ridge 7.6 generously donated by Marin Bikes.
Photo by Mtbr user mechagouki.
But given the pathetic condition of trail access, is this really the place where we want to put the epicenter of celebrating mountain bike culture, its history and paying homage to the sport's pioneers? With all due respect and great appreciation to all the pioneers of our beloved sport who live in Marin County—at least in the current political state and paltry access to trails—the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame simply does not deserve to be in Fairfax.
Mountain biking may have been born on the hallowed slopes of Mount Tam, but there's a whole lot more history that's happened elsewhere. Due to vocal and ignorant eco-zealots, biased local media and manipulative open space district employees, it is one of the most anti-mountain bike locales in the country. It's a shame too, because if even half the singletrack in Marin County was open to bikes, it could be one of the greatest places to ride in the country.
Until MCOSD employees, the local media and residents wake up and realize mountain bikers are a huge asset and not a liability, and unless more mountain bikers in Marin take up the fight for the access they rightfully deserve, the situation will only get worse.
Photo by Mtbr user repack_rider.
As for those who say having the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame in Marin will help in organizing a bigger voice for pro-bike advocacy, I call bullshit of the highest order. Most mountain bikers in Marin County don't get involved in local advocacy, let alone even knowing a Mountain Bike Hall of Fame exists. So you're telling me that once they discover it's in Fairfax, they're suddenly going to get jingoistic, rise up and fight for trail access? Please.
The Mountain Bike Hall of Fame should be in a town where the mountain bike is embraced, loved and an integral part of the town's culture. Before its move to Fairfax, the HOF was in Crested Butte, but the town's isolation attracted barely enough visitors to keep the lights on. It's too bad the HOF had to leave Crested Butte, because that town captured the essence of the mountain bike and our culture perfectly. In any case, a better home would be a place like Durango, where the entire town eats, breathes and sleeps mountain bikes.
Pedal in any direction, and within a mile you're on ribbon singletrack for as long as the heart desires. Entire families in Durango head out on mountain bike rides daily. Kindergartners, high schoolers and even students at Fort Lewis College participate in mountain bike development programs. Numerous mountain bike luminaries like Tomac, Overend and Roll call the area their home.
Durango is where the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame belongs, not in a place where people spit on mountain bikers as vandals, law-breakers and second-class citizens.
So if you live in Marin County, ride a mountain bike, or have kids who like to ride and you've never gotten involved in local advocacy, start today by contacting Access4Bikes and fighting to save the Scott Valley Jumps. It's not too late to do your part in helping make Marin live up to its iconic mountain biking roots.

Can you believe it's been a decade since Kelly Clarkson won American Idol and launched her career as a pop diva? Neither can she. As the singer steps into her 30s and celebrates 10 years of making music, she will release Greatest Hits – Chapter One on November 19.
Clarkson wrote "Catch My Breath" specifically for this album, about putting her first greatest hits collection together. For the video, she chooses an appropriately low-key production. Keeping it simple, we see only Clarkson in a black column gown by Martin Margiela, with key-hole cutouts on top plus a gold belt carefully matched to her ringed fingers and complimenting her hair color, with the wind blowing through her hair on a soundstage. As the video progresses, all four of the elements make an appearance: fire, water, water and Clarkson herself seems to stand in for earth.
She also appears in a black pantsuit and a white, yellow and brown faux fur short sleeved jacket, the latter looking very much like a Rachel Zoe styled item.
Her makeup features light lips and a smokey eye that isn't heavy. The focus seems to be her eyelashes — they draw you in to give the impression that into the windows of her soul is exactly where Clarkson wants you to look.
This is the most glommed up we've seen Clarkson in a video in some time. The singer embraces a grown up look to mark a very grown up moment in her career, to great effect.

The fourth annual list of "military friendly" colleges – published this week by a veteran-owned company – is as fascinating to peruse to see which schools earn that title as it is for noting which universities are absent.
Using a weighted scoring system and reviews penned by veteran-students – then independently audited by accounting giant Ernst & Young – the 2013 "G.I. Jobs" list includes 1,700 American colleges.
That means about 10,000 schools currently authorized by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to accept GI Bill money failed to make the cut.
"Some people are of the opinion that 'VA approval' for colleges is a measure of military friendliness. But I would point to the math, from 12,000 schools with VA approval to our 1,700, and assert that we're able to provide value by offering a list of the schools that have the best leading practices," said Sean Collins, vice president of Victory Media, publisher of the list.
"The is a premier subset," added Collins, a U.S. Navy veteran. "We are the answer to the question: 'What is military friendly?'"
In fact, Victory Media even trademarked the term "military friendly." Owning the phrase is wise – and perhaps necessary – when numerous universities are stamping themselves "military friendly" in the chase for money from the freshly improved Post-9/11 G.I. Bill – about $9 billion this year to help some 600,000 veterans work toward degrees.
"Unfortunately, whenever government benefits are entered into any market, you get people that move in and try to be opportunistic," Collins said. "So we want to make sure we are differentiated from anyone who's new in this space and make sure our resources are world class."

Victory Media, which calls its list America's most stringent and transparent inventory of schools catering to veterans, grades the universities on nine criteria, including "military support on campus," "academic credibility" and the portion of military students enrolled.
Those criteria are assessed through a survey the company makes available to all of the 12,000 VA-approved colleges. This year, about half of those schools opted to complete and send back the free questionnaires, Collins said. And from that group of about 6,000, Victory Media used its assessment methodology to hone its list down to 15 percent of all the VA-approved institutions.
"We keep the threshold at 15 percent because we feel that's enough schools to give people freedom of choice but also an elite tier," Collins said. "So if you're on our ship, you've been evaluated by us – and found worthy by a third-party entity," he added. "If you're not, I think that says something as well ... There also are bad actors and schools that (sell themselves as veteran-friendly but) return less than the desired return on investment.
"These 1,700 schools raised their hand and committed time and resources necessary for filling out survey. They are stepping forward and participating in our process because they want to be measured and differentiated from what I will call the noise."
The publishers purposely opted not to rank the 1,700 colleges because, Collins said, picking a higher-ed school is an individual choice and should be based on an array of unique factors, such as: does the school offer night classes, weekend sessions, or in-state tuition breaks for veterans? (The online list can be sorted and then personalized).
Schools that made the list
Who made it for 2013? NBC News randomly checked four major college conferences to analyze which schools earned the "military friendly" designation.
In the Southeastern Conference, 13 schools are included – all but Vanderbilt University.
In the Pac-12 Conference, every member earned a spot, although at Stanford University, only that school's Center for Professional Development is mentioned.
Watch the most-viewed videos on NBCNews.com
In the Big Ten Conference, 11 universities are on the list; Northwestern University is not.
In the Ivy League, Columbia and Dartmouth made the cut; at Cornell, only the graduate school of management is mentioned; Brown, Harvard, Yale, Penn and Princeton didn't rate inclusion.
But the publishers acknowledged that data-driven lists alone are somewhat soulless. Victory Media solicits personal reviews from veteran students and incorporates those intimate analyses into its report. (This year, there are about 3,000 student surveys for prospective students to read).
"They're the exact subset of the student population that service members are looking for," Collins said. "They give an actual boots-on-the-ground perspective. Nothing touches a personal recommendation."
One veteran's experience
Air Force veteran Erik Thompson, 34, enrolled last year in the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh after checking out all of the research done by Collins and his colleagues.
"When I decided to return to business school the very first thing I did was visit the G.I. Jobs Military Friendly School list," said Thompson, who served in Iraq and three other countries. "One of the great things about the site is it allows you to not only access the list, but many schools have students who have created profiles where they talk about their experience as a veteran attending a particular MBA school.
"Having been out of the military for close to six years, the thing I miss the most is the camaraderie," Thompson said. "Going through basic training, military-career training, deployments, and living all over the world level-sets all military members. No matter where you are from - or your race, religion, or sex - military members all have something in common. The Tepper School of Business does a tremendous job in replicating this camaraderie."

Google's logo is different today, which means another holiday is upon us. This time it's the scariest of all holidays that haunts you once a year. If you thought anything other than Halloween, you're a twisted thinker (and I want to know what you thought- leave a comment). To commemorate today's holiday, I've two treats to hand out.
First, for those of you that haven't noticed, the first service pack for Sitefinity 3.1 just dropped and is now available for download. This service delivers a number of stability and bug fixes across the 3.1 release, including improved site search support, better localization support with workflow, a number of medium trust fixes, and fixes for the new forums module. As usual, if you're a Sitefinity developer you'll definitely want to download and run this update. I promise it's not a trick.
Second, and I've saved the best for last, I've created a Telerik pumpkin carving template for all of you carvers out there that decided to wait 'til the last minute to get your carve on. The directions are easy to follow and if you're successful it should look something like the pumpkin featured on this post. Consider this the "easy" template for 2007- maybe next year I'll unleash a more advanced version.
Enjoy the treats and have a safe Halloween!

Todd Anglin on Silverlight
While I generally hate to refer to myself in the third person on this blog, "Todd Anglin on Silverlight" is really the only way to title this post. In between speaking at various sessions during DevReach, a couple of guys from SilverlightShow.net pulled me aside to do a quick interview about Silverlight. The interview covers everything from the current state of Silverlight, how Telerik plans on supporting Silverlight, and even addresses the popular myth about the nirvana Blend/XAML workflow (a popular theme that week). The whole thing was recorded live to video and it is now available online (in a Silverlight video player, of course).
If you're interested in learning more about Silverlight or gaining a better understanding of Telerik's plans for Silverlight, check out the 30 minute video today. And if you're looking to hear more about Silverlight from men wiser than I, don't miss Lino Tadros' or Chad Hower's interivews on the site, too.

New RadEditor "Prometheus" build available
While the official Q2 2007 SP2 won't be available this week as planned, a new build of RadEditor "Prometheus" with most of the SP2 enhancements is available. The new internal build, dated October 25 (make sure you scroll down in the forum thread to download the correct build), delivers almost all of the enhancements mentioned in this week's SP2 post. The only features that are not ready in this internal build are the Table Wizard dialog, a few layout issues with toolbar modes, and a few missing localization points in the dialogs. All of these items will be addressed, though, before the official SP2 ships mid-next week.
With this release, RadEditor "Prometheus" comes very close to duplicating all of the functionality in the original RadEditor. In fact, one of the only features that won't be present is docking toolbars (a feature that currently is not planned for the "Prometheus" version). So if you've been waiting for "Prometheus" to catch-up with the old Editor before giving it a spin, now is a good time to take it out for a test drive. Look for the final SP2 version along with SP2 updates for all "Prometheus" controls next week.

Microsoft: WinForms here to stay...for now
As promised, here is the shocking news that is starting to come to light. When Visual Studio 2008 and .NET 3.5 start shipping in a few weeks, Microsoft won't be recommending that companies use WPF to build applications. No, they'll be recommending that people building new LoB (Line of Business) apps (a.k.a. business apps) use the tried and true WinForms technology to get the job done. WPF won't be explicitly discouraged, per se. Instead WPF will be encouraged as the platform for "rich experience apps" and WinForms will get the nod for everything else...from Microsoft.
If that doesn't surprise you, then you've probably missed what seems like at least a year's worth of "WinForms is dead" "don't start any new development in WinForms" discussion in the industry. It will be very interesting to see how this increasingly public position from Microsoft will affect the adoption rate of WPF in business development and how the component industry will react. Microsoft claims this is not a new position and consistent with the messages they've been sending, and based on the details in the WPF paper they promoted technically they're right. In fact, for many months Microsoft has been saying "use the best technology and integrate" (meaning build with WinForms and integrate WPF), it just seems that message is finally starting to sink in.
So what does this news mean? Does it mean the tools in Visual Studio 2008 aren't really ready for full scale WPF development? Does it mean WPF itself (or at least with its current out of the box tools) is not ready for business development? I'll let you draw your own conclusions on those points, but it definitely does mean that WinForms development is here to stay for at least another couple of years. Sound off and let me know what you think of this news in the comments.

Community 2.0 published on AspAlliance
I've be longing to share this incredible content with you for what seems like months now. After a lengthy review process- most of which was just waiting for an open publication date- my whitepaper on "community 2.0" has been published on the popular AspAlliance website. This whitepaper grew out of an internal effort at Telerik to effectively understand and describe what it takes to build a strong, thriving community. The research in the paper was so compelling, though, that I couldn't resist making it available to the community for broad consumption.
What is community 2.0? I assure you I am not out to create yet another "2.0" version of a common word (Business 2.0, you'll be missed?). Rather, this paper methodically examines the elements of many popular "web 2.0" sites that have thriving online communities. What did Digg and Wikipedia do correctly to grow their communities that others like Netscape failed to do? Through my research, three simple and easy to understand principles emerge that connect the success of online communities, and by these principles you'll have the best chance at creating your own successful online socials.
If you have a site or business and you want to create a community, this paper is a must read. Check it out on the AspAlliance site, tell your friends, and then let me know what you think. Hope you enjoy my latest publication.

WinForms controls on dnrTV
Here's another hot news item that I didn't deliver to you on time. A little more than a week ago I sat down (virtually, of course) with .NET celeb Carl Franklin to film a new episode of dnrTV all about Telerik's RadControls for WinForms. The episode was released late on October 12th, but it is still on the homepage of dnrTV at the time of this writing.
What is dnrTV? For those that have never seen it, dnrTV delivers Camtasia captured screen casts of conversations that Carl has with a vast array of guests from the .NET world. The WinForms episode that we "filmed" comes in a series of dnrTV episodes focusing on various .NET products. But unlike unfettered internally produced web casts on .NET products, dnrTV episodes benefit from the candid and insightful questions that Carl delivers to guests- often the questions you wish you could ask while watching a web cast.
Either way, it was fun to shoot and it is a great way to learn about what Telerik is doing in the WinForms space if you still have yet to check it out. And without giving too much away, I have some pretty big news regarding WinForms learned at VSIP that I'm going to try to share later this week. I guarantee it will surprise you. Until then, check out the dnrTV episode and look for more content like this in the future.

Telerik Watch celebrates 1 year
As I was composing my last post explaining the uncommon week of silence on this blog, I realized that in all the preparation for the VSIP Summit and the recovery from DevReach I missed a very important event: the first birthday of the Telerik Watch blog! That's right, you've been enjoying this fine publication for over a year now. The first post, dated October 11, 2006, set the stage for what has been a very successful blog- thanks in no small part to you, the outstanding and loyal audience.
Time marches forward, though, and I look forward to bringing you another great year of content. When I originally started this blog, Paul Thurott's WinSuperSite was a big inspiration and I aimed to deliver the same in-depth attention for Telerik products that he delivered for Microsoft. Since then, a few things have changed. Most notably, I was hired full-time by Telerik in early 2007. I also started contributing to two additional blogs: Telerik.com Blogs and ASP.NET Weblogs. Needless to say, this blog has adopted a much more casual approach of brining you the latest Telerik and industry news while leaving more in-depth content for other venues.
Is that what you want? I want to know. I'm starting a new poll that will run for the next couple of weeks on the side of this blog asking you to submit your opinion: should Telerik Watch keep on keepin' on or should it start running more in-depth content? With your feedback, we'll build on the success of 2007 and march boldly in to 2008, delivering content you enjoy reading.
Happy birthday Telerik Watch!

The week the blog stood still
Since it's introduction
almost over a year ago (can you believe that?!), not a single week has passed where this blog didn't bring you something new. Over 200 posts later with a continually growing audience- thanks as always to you for reading- this blog had it's first week of silence last week. It wasn't to make a point and it certainly wasn't due to a dearth of good news to share. Rather, I was in Redmond, Washington enjoying the annual Visual Studio Integration Partner (or VSIP) Summit and simply didn't have the time I needed to bring you your regularly scheduled, high quality, Telerik Watch posts.
But I am back now and have plenty of news items to share. Much of what we learned at VSIP is under Microsoft NDA, so I'm afraid I can't bring you a lot of news from that event (yet), but there is plenty of fun stuff to share in the meantime. Expect quite a few posts this week as I try to catch-up and bring you back up to speed on the world of Telerik and its surrounding environment. I hope you enjoyed your week off and used the time to catch-up on your "guilty pleasure" RSS feeds- Engadget, Joystiq, you know the ones. As for this blog, it's time to get back to your regularly scheduled content.

.NET Rocks WPF Panel
One of the fun little activities that took place at the recent DevReach conference in Bulgaria was a panel discussion on the current state of WPF. The panel featured Tim Huckaby, Brian Noyes, and yours truly (and the famous .NET Rocks hosts, of course) discussing the merits of WPF, dispelling some of the myths, and clarifying some of the misconceptions about designer tools available for WPF. Tim brought to the table excellent first hand experience using WPF to deliver solutions; Brian brought an incredible depth of technical WPF knowledge; I brought a unique perspective that needs a little introduction.
Ever since joining the "programming world" about 6 years ago, I have been reluctant to mention my "hidden" past as a graphic designer. Yes, that's right. I'm the artist in the room of engineers. For years I did freelance logo design, brand development, and designs for all variety of print projects. I cut my proverbial computer teeth on Corel Draw, Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop, and the Macromedia design products. In fact, in my early hunt for colleges RISD (Rhode Island School of Design or "riz-dee" for the initiated) and similar topped my list of interests.
"What in the world are you doing in programming?!" say you. Glad you asked. I may be an "artist" but I am also thoroughly pragmatic. I had no intention of becoming a "starving artist". With entrepreneurship in my blood, Texas A&M's highly ranked business school replaced my desire to go hang with hippie artists and involvement in the school's Student Council lead me to programming. An ugly (and I mean ugly) ASP application was dropped in my lap one day and I didn't run away. Quite the opposite. The web suddenly became my playground for building things and it gave me a venue to continue to flex my graphic designer muscles.
The rest (as everybody says) is history. I spent much of my own time learning as much as I could about building things for the web- ASP Classic, ASP.NET 1.x, ASP.NET 2, and now about 5,000 different Microsoft platforms. I never left my designer roots, though, so when Microsoft starts touting tools that "designers will love" my ears perk up.
I'll let you uncover my opinions on that marketing message in the .NET Rocks episode. Either way, that's my true background and the source of my unique perspective on this panel. Hopefully you'll enjoy the new point of view.

Silverlight Short Cut giveaway winners
The time has come to announce the two lucky winners of the Silverlight 1.1 Short Cut giveaway. Today our winners will be taking home one fabulous prize...A NEW
CAR PDF (so it's not quite as exciting as The Price Is Right). The Silverlight 1.1 Short Cut covers everything you need to know to get up to speed on Silverlight, how 1.0 compares to 1.1, and how to use the tools that are available today for working with this alpha technology. An updated version will also be available soon that corrects a few last minute errors in the copy, so check your O'Reilly downloads page later next week to get the latest version.
And with that, my ability to stall the naming of the winners has run out. The same technique used to select the Learning Guide winners was applied here, so thank the random atmospheric noise if your number doesn't get called. And the winnings numbers are...
Clayton Powell and Asit...come on down. Send an email to todd[dot]anglin[at]

Sitefinity 3.1 released
While a little late out of the gate, Sitefinity 3.1 is now officially available for your consumption. If you've been following along on this blog, then you already know most of what's new in the major Sitefinity update: site search, forums module, new page edit mode, and so on. There are at least 8 new major features by my count, so this should be a no brainer update if you're using Sitefinity 3.0. That said, there are a few issues with some of the new features to watch out for. The release notes clearly identify these issues, so take a quick look over there while you're upgrading to understand what will be fixed in an ensuing service pack.
I know I previously promised some screenshots of the new features, and I still plan to deliver those soon. Travel to DevReach in Bulgaria and VSIP in Redmond is making it difficult to get everything online as fast as I'd like, but the Sitefinity tasks are high on my list. Until then, download your own copy and let us know what you think of the upgrade!

Silverlight 1.1 Short Cut published, win a copy
This is a very exciting news item that I have been eager to share. After weeks of writing and rounds of editing, Telerik has just published a new O'Reilly Short Cut covering all the ins and outs of Silverlight 1.1 Alpha. This short 76 page book was written by yours truly along with a lot of help from the brains that make up the Telerik Silverlight Team. It is a great primer for anyone looking to get up to speed on Silverlight and the tools that are available to work with it. We've worked very hard to produce a resource that is easy to read and full of helpful information, and we've involved some of the brightest minds in Silverlight- Jesse Liberty and Adam Kinney- to make sure everything is accurate. The short cut is available as a downloadable PDF from O'Reilly's site for $9.99. To help celebrate its release, though, I'll be giving away two copies next week. To win, simply leave a comment on this post telling us the reason you're most looking forward to Silverlight 1.1. Will it enable you to build new types of applications? Is there something you've always wanted to do that Silverlight will finally enable? Tell us and win. Standard rules apply to the contest (only one post will be entered per person, blah, blah). All entries must be made by midnight (GMT +6) next Thursday (October 11) to be eligible in the drawing. Enjoy the new resource and good luck!

Q2 2007 SP1 coming next week
As with all major releases, there are always a few features that don't make the release date or have bugs that need to be quickly addressed. Handling that for the recent Q2 2007 release is the first service pack due to hit the streets late next week. This service pack will address bugs and issues reported since September 19th and will add a few new features to some of the RadControl components. Among the controls getting the most improvement in the upcoming service pack is RadEditor "Prometheus". We know there has been a fair amount of confusion surrounding this beta product and some of its missing/broken features, but hopefully SP1 will start to fix that problem.
Meanwhile, some exciting initiatives are underway at Telerik that should make the bug reporting and status tracking process easier for you to follow. This program is still being developed, so the details are thin at this point, but expect some updates in a few months. When it is complete, it should be much easier for subscription holders to track the status of the bugs/issues/enhancement requests they submit to Telerik.
Until then, stay tuned to this blog and watch for an announcement next week regarding SP1.

DevReach 2007 recap
This has been a light blogging week for me, largely because I'm still in Sofia trying to recover from the nightly DevReach 2007 parties. But while the parties were good, the conference was great. In its second annual appearance in the capital city of Bulgaria, DevReach 2007 brought in an amazing array of great speakers to educate .NET developers in eastern Europe. I joined big names in the .NET world like Richard Campbell, Carl Franklin, Stephen Forte, and Tim Huckaby to put on over 40 sessions in two days. Hundreds of developers attended the conference helping make it a big success and solidifying the stature of DevReach as a major international .NET conference.
Slides, demo code, and pictures from the event should be available online in the next week or so. Check the event site for updates and links to the downloads. There will also be a DVD produced that has all of the DevReach sessions (video and audio), slides, and code coming soon. I'll provide more details on that when they're available.
All in all, everyone seemed to have a great time and talks about doing this again next year are already underway. If you missed the fun in 2007, start clearing your calendar in 2008 because this is an event you don't want to miss!
