Module 1 provides an understanding of the two major components of a database system. The database constitutes the files that store data, and the instance is the collection of server resources that provide a powerful, high performance interface to the data. It also illustrates how the two interact to provide data requested by the clients. Viewing the database and the instance as two separate interactive components of the RDBMS helps us to divide-and-conquer the vast set of topics covered in this workshop.
Full course outline:
Oops, something didn't work.
Poor resolution on screen delivery of content
Can not see the screen, very poor resolution on screen delivery of content
Very poor resolution on screen!
if I install IE10 will be better or not?

I wish to create something like CrunchBase.com with WordPress.org (So to have one website that is a "database", and another one, which is a blog, that connects to it).
Is it possible? and how?
Thanks, Tal

Thanks, Tal
@Tal Gailili: Absolutely, WordPress would be a great platform for a CrunchBase clone!
Use Custom Post Type and Custom Taxonomies
What you want to look at are Custom Post Types and Custom Taxonomies [see this answer I gave on a very similar subject].
Example Code for your Company's Post Type and Taxonomies
With WordPress 3.0 you can create a
Other Post Types you might want:
If you really want to clone CrunchBase you'd be wanting to create custom post types for each of these (though I'm guess you want something similar but for a different market?):
Company Listing Page
For your company's listing page (like this one on CrunchBase) I'd probably create a WordPress "Page" called "Companies" (imagine that!) and then use a post list shortcode plugin like List Pages Shortcode (if you use that one you will need to make a one-line modification to support Custom Post Types like I show here.)
With that plugin and modification you can add the following text to your "Companies" Page and it will list out all the companies in a bulleted list on that page which you can style with CSS:
Company Specific Layouts
Then for a custom layout for each company you can make a copy of the theme template file
User Company Submissions
And if you want to let people submit companies consider using Gravity Forms (not an affiliate link; US$39 per site license and worth every penny.)
If you need more...
There's more I'm sure but that will get you most of the basic functionality you need. If you need more, ask another question here on WordPress Answers!
Hope this helped.
There's no reason it can't be done, using custom post types and the appropriate templating to make it suit... but whether it's the RIGHT way to do it is a different matter.
CrunchBase.com is down at the moment so I can't do a proper valuation, but from what I remember of it, it'd be better suited to being a WordPress blog + custom plugin to handle the database entries, sort've like how an e-Commerce plugin works for WP. Keep the database of company information stored and managed via a plugin, that also lets you embed relevant info into blog posts using a function from the plugin.
However..... if you do think using another database is easier because you are e.g. syncing this daily with other sources, already have all the reporting code , use this database for a lot of other sources, prepare for the future when you might want to use this database in other projects to sync, are adding the data from another application, etc.... The trick is to switch databases:
then do your stuff, run all queries / external php files generating reports, etc.. and then switch back to the WP database:

There exist topological manifolds which don't admit a smooth structure in dimensions > 3, but I haven't seen much discussion on homotopy type. It seems much more reasonable that we can find a smooth manifold (of the same dimension) homotopy equivalent to a given topological manifold. Is this true, or is there a counterexample?
It is false for compact manifolds in 4 dimensions. Freedman showed that there is a compact simply connected topological 4-manifold with intersection form E8, but Donaldson showed that there is no such smooth manifold.
For every $n\ge 4$ there exists a closed aspherical topological $n$-manifold $N$ which is not homotopy-equivalent to a PL manifold. Furthermore, $\pi_1(N)$ is a CAT(0) group. This is a theorem of Davis and Januszkiewicz, see theorems 5a1, 5b1 in their "Hyperbolziation of polyhedra" paper http://intlpress.com/JDG/archive/1991/34-2-347.pdf The construction relies heavily on Freedman's result about E8-manifold. As Vitali said, this is an old post, but it is good to have an answer that works in all dimensions since dimension 4 is exceptional in many ways.

It seems like it takes no time for the browned grass from winter to turn into the green grass of spring. Even quicker to take root are the weeds. You look out one day and everything is nice and trimmed. Then, it seems the next day you have an overgrown jungle. It is simply amazing just how fast weeds can grow. If you don't get a handle on them, they will take over. That is why it is so important to be prepared with the proper spraying gear so you can get those weeds killed.
What you need really depends on how much spraying you need to do. If you just need to spray around your flower beds, then a small, hand pumped style sprayer should work fine. However, if you need to cover a much larger area, you will want to give your arm a break and go for something that is less labor intensive, like a pump style sprayer that allows you to pump it up only every few minutes to get a continuous spray. If you need a larger sprayer, then you will need a tank to hold the weed killer. With larger equipment, you will also need to buy nozzles and sprayer wands.
Luckily, we can help you out with all your spraying needs. It doesn't really matter if you are tackling weeds or bugs or something else. Our products in this category are made to make the job easy and hassle free.

For nearly a quarter century the St. Xavier swim team has been peerless in the state of Kentucky.
It was more of the same Saturday as the Tigers claimed two individual events and a pair of relays en route to their 24th straight team title at the Pannell Swim Shop/KHSAA Swimming and Diving Championships.
The Tigers overwhelmed the field at UofL's Wright Natatorium and piled up 484.5 points in the meet's 12 events. The total was more than twice that of runner-up Covington Catholic (235). Trinity finished third with 189.
"Every team is special and deserves their own place in this streak," said third-year St. X coach Todd Larkin. "We obviously leaned on our depth and I'm really proud of the way that it all came together."
Among the standouts for St. X was senior Michael Scheid, a Notre Dame signee, who won his third-straight 100-yard backstroke title and swam a leg on the Tigers' 200 medley relay team that won with a time of one minute and 34.36 seconds.
Also on the 200 medley relay was freshman Cole Buese, who was tops in the 100 fly (50.95) and second in the 200 free.
Buese, who will be moving with his family to Baltimore in August, had mixed emotions during the meet.
"It's bittersweet knowing this is my first and last Kentucky high school state meet, but I'm having a good time with all of my teammates," said Buese, whose sister Kelsey swam state runner-up for Sacred Heart Academy.
Other major contributors for St. X were junior Robert Leasure, who touched third in both the 200 individual medley and 500 free and Garrett Stephens, a junior who was third in both the 50 and 100 free.
Stephens also anchored the Tigers' winning 200 free and 200 IM relay teams.
Thomas Cooper of Trinity won the 50 free (20.67) and the 100 free (45.09) after setting a new state record in the 100 during prelims (44.71).
With Cooper as anchor, the Shamrocks took second in the 200 and 400 free relays.
Ballard's Jake Schultz won the 200 free with a time of one minute and 42.92 seconds. The junior also came in second in the 500 free. "We definitely knew he was going to be in the hunt," said first-year Bruins coach Brad Hultz. "He really wanted it today."
Kentucky Country Day junior Connor Lohman won the 100 breaststroke in 57.76 seconds and said it has been a long time coming after a disappointing finish last season.
"I won at regionals last year and came in here and was really nervous and got sixth," Lohman said. "I had been waiting for this since last year."
Girls' Championship
Manual junior Sarah Love turned in a series of strong performances and the Crimsons used a dominant 400 free relay win to pull away from Sacred Heart and claim their sixth title in eight years.
Love won the 100 free with a time of 51.18 seconds and was runner-up in the 50 free before anchoring the relay squad that clinched the title in the meet's final event.
The Crimsons led by only 1 ½ points heading into the race.
"We knew it was going to be close," said Love. "I just wanted to push through and make sure that we won by a lot. I got to the wall, looked up and saw that we won."
The relay victory pushed Manual's point total to 351, ahead of Sacred Heart's 341.5. Notre Dame was a distant third with 191.
According to Manual coach J.C. Barnett the rivalry elevated his swimmers. "We're better because of Sacred Heart…and our accomplishment is only measured by the greatness of our opponent," he said.
Senior Miranda Mercke and freshman Leah Stevens led the way for the runners-up.
Mercke won the 100 breaststroke (1:03.83) and was second in the 200 IM, while Stevens won the 200 free (1:50.60) and placed second in the 500 freestyle.
Corbett Wins
After finishing third the past three years, Sacred Heart's Becca Corbett won her first diving title in record-breaking fashion. The senior's score of 509.30 eclipsed the previous mark of 498.10 set by Jessica Lyden of Lexington Catholic in 2008.
The Valkyries also won the 200 medley relay and 200 free relay, but in the end it was Manual's balanced and consistent swims that prevailed.
"We wanted to win so bad," said Love. "It really meant a lot."

Prospect: Proud mom grateful to clubs for tribute
I would very much like to say thank you to those wonderful, generous people who have helped me through the tragic loss of my son in a motorcycle accident on June 7. My son, Mark "Bones" Genereux, hit a breakerbox and telephone pole that evening while riding his motorcycle to his home in Oakville, where the accident took place. He was killed instantly.
Mark was a member of a motorcycle club, "The Brotherhood." These gentlemen orchestrated a tribute to my son, the likes of which I have never seen before. They passed the word to fellow bikers, including The Outlaws, Righteous Unruly, Diablo and the Clover Boys, and more than 500 friends and relatives attended his calling hours.

Based on an axiomatically derived provision rule allowing community members to endogenously determine which, if any, public project should be provided, we perform experiments where (i) not all parties benefit from provision, and (ii) the projects' "costs" can be negative. In the tradition of legal mechanism design, the proposed provision rule is widely applicable. Additionally, it relies on intuitive fairness and profitability requirements. Our results indicate that the provision rule is conducive to efficiency, despite its multiplicity of equilibria and un- derbidding incentives. The only condition is that the cost of the most efficient project is positive.

Gas buyers in Japan and Korea are expected to benefit most from potential LNG exports, while Australian producers and European wholesalers could be under pressure.
Buyers in Japan and Korea, the world's largest LNG
consumers, are expected to benefit most from potential US
exports of LNG, according to a new report released
the report from Moody's Investors Service titled "The
Prospect of US LNG Exports Influences Pricing and Gas Markets
Worldwide", analysts expect Asian buyers to reap benefits
from newfound supply.
"Buyers in Japan and Korea will have widening supply
options, in addition to new supplies from Australia," said
Mihoko Manabe, vice president and senior credit officer for
Moody's. "They will benefit from the increased quantity and
diversity of their gas supply, as well as a stronger
negotiating position when signing up to new contracts."
Examples of the buyers likely to benefit include Tokyo
Electric Power (Tepco) and Korea Gas.
Sectors that will face greater competition from the US LNG
exports include the Australian LNG producers, who will need to
compete harder for future projects to supply their targeted
Asian buyers. These include Woodside Petroleum and BHP
Billiton, according to the report.
In addition, European gas wholesalers face
ongoing pressure from increased supply in the short-term gas
market, which reduces spot prices and squeezes margins.
Moody's said it does not expect US LNG exports to be a
ratings-changer for most of the players involved. With the
highly visible exception of Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LNG will
remain the domain of big, highly rated companies, and expensive
LNG export facilities take several years to
Sales will continue to be made under decades-long agreements,
allowing players to adjust to shifts in market conditions
In the US, 20 applications to export LNG await US Department
of Energy (DOE) approval. Moody's expects at most four of these
projects to be built.
Mostly likely to move forward are those positioned near the top
of the DOE's list for approval, as well as projects in
brownfield locations, which have a cost advantage, because they
already come with some necessary infrastructure. For the most
part, those that move forward will be backed by companies with
investment-grade balance sheets and substantial experience in
the LNG business.
Moody's expects US LNG exports to be minor during this
decade, as the Sabine Pass LNG export project is expected to
begin operations in 2015, with others to be completed in
Most Canadian exports will not start until after 2020, says
Moody's. In Canada, three projects have requisite government
approvals, but have yet to secure the commercial agreements and
pipeline infrastructure needed to move forward.
The new exports will mainly target Asia, and compete
directly against rising production from Australia, which has projects under construction that will be adding
enough export capacity between 2014 and 2017, overtaking Qatar
as the largest LNG producer.
On the demand side, Moody's expects Japan to remain by far
the largest importer of LNG, accounting for roughly a third of
the global LNG market. South Korea will hold steady as the
second-largest importer, while China will ramp up its imports
almost to the level of Korea's by 2020.

Could you please advice me of the 20 applications related compny list? We, one of Korean Gas/Oil Producers, have interest to lead or participate the whole Project like as Gas Processing, Transportaiion, and arranging Ocean Transpot including Port Facilities in order to import Korean Market.
Don Cordero
The delivery distance is greater from the US to Asia, than from Australia. are they going to sell their LNG at a lower cost, to cover the additional cost of delivery?

A Bowling Green man that caused terror at a local apartment complex when he began swinging at doors with an ax could be facing a long jail sentence.
Some say they are trying to move past the events that happened that night.
It was on October 16Th at 10pm that 30 year old, Joshua Forrest Travis was accused of striking a man at the Garden Apartments with a single blade ax.
"He strike him with the ax and got him right here,"says a friend of Sakib.
Travis continued to swing at several doors in Complex D.
"I thought we were dying. When we turned around the ax was already coming through our door and me and my kids ran a jumped out the bedroom window,"says Crystal Hubbard.
After a group of bystanders confronted Travis, struck him, and knocked him to the ground he was transported to Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, and was later arrested on October 17Th.
"He has been charged with assault first degree, as well as wanton endangerment, and some other accompanying charges. Were going through the process where were providing discovery to the defense council and we anticipate at the January pre-trial, if he doesn't enter a plea we will be sending the case to trial by jury,"says Chris Cohron, Warren County Commonwealth Attorney.
The ax marks are gone but some say they still have nightmares about what happened that night.
"My grandson he still don't even want to sleep by himself. I have to sleep in the lounge chair while he sleeps in my bed," says Ruthanne Bowling.
Cohron said if convicted Travis could face up to 25 years in in prison.
"25 years should be long enough for him to sit in there and think about what he's done to those kids. He's really scared those kids,"says Bowling.
During his testimonial Travis said he does not remember anything about that night.
Travis is currently being held at the Warren County Regional Jail on a $10,000 cash bond.
He will appear in court January 28Th for a pre-trail conference.
The investigation into exactly what happened that night is still on-going.

Online Church Part 3: Are Online Sacraments Legit?
When discussing online churches that never gather in one physical location, two questions that often come up are
How do you do baptisms?
How do you celebrate communion?
In SimChurch, Douglas Estes does an excellent job of looking at the various options online churches have for the sacraments. He breaks them down into 4 categories.
Which if any of these expresses of baptism and communion are (most?) biblical and why?

This....can't be right, can it? Holy frijoles.
I hope it's right! I'm thinking they are coming out with a new version or something.
Just placed an order for the Production Suite. Came up to $96 after tax.
GREAT deal. Wow. Thanks!
Gotta have .edu email address and submit another form of verification as well:
Student ID with year on it
Tuition bill with date on it
Transcript with current enrollment.
Thank you so much! Great price!
So far it works, but even getting the verification page loaded took at least five minutes. And verification itself, even with the quicker option, may be almost two days.
But I don't need the software immediately anyway. And CS5 for $40? Awesome deal.
So as someone who wants to edit photos and do videos, would it be best to get the Master suite? Or will I have to get CS5 for photos, then buy Production separately?
Its not letting me add the promo code for the C5??
Wouldn't let me paste the code in, had to type it. It's working though.
As a TV/Video Production student, I can't tell you how awesome it is to get Photoshop, Premiere, and After Effects for under $100.
@coolphilip04: Is there a way to verify before putting in credit card information?
If anyone is having trouble with the promo code, you need to add the product as a Student/Teacher edition. On the page of the product you want you'll notice a little drop-down menu under the add to cart button, select it as Student edition and update your cart, and you should be golden.
@dertintenfisch: I actually found this to be incredibly useful, and I already own Design Premium... It shows what is in each version side-by-side so you can pick the version that suits you best.
@hjyoung231: It seems that on Firefox (at least) that you can't copy paste it. It worked perfectly once I typed it in manually and added it.
@kawatan: Once the code is entered manually the price in the cart gets updated to the correct pricing. Is that what you mean by confirmation?
I'm not seeing the .edu email address requirement anywhere. If it exists, there's got to be a loophole since high schoolers (and home schoolers) can get the special pricing and rarely ever have .edu addresses.
I once bought MS Office at a student rate (like, $40 for the professional pkg). This is a great deal!
Works! Got the Creative Suite Standard Student and Teacher edition for $64.70! Awesome deal!
Keeps telling me "Promotion code not valid" when I hit apply. This happens if i type it in or paste it in the box.
Promotion code not valid, even if I paste or type
I just got off the phone with a sales associate, because I couldn't get the code to work on the website, and he advised that it was marketing mistake, that they would honor if you ordered before the mistake was corrected. I missed my chance.
Yea it's a dead deal, from Adobe chat:
due to a technical error an incorrect messaging of promotion on education store got posted online and we are currently in the process of removing this messaging shortly, due to which the promo code will not be applicable on any of the Educational product purchase.
Valentino: You can continue to place the order for education version software which is already discounted up to upto 80% as compared to regular version software.
Valentino: The regular discounted price will continue to apply, I recommend you to go ahead and complete the purchase.
code not working
My chat guy today said prior orders are not being honored.
Can anyone confirm software validation?
As of 3:16 MST, the chat rep at Adobe said it was a screw up and nobody got the deal. I'd be interested to know if anyone actually got the killer prices advertised. Once again, if it sounds too good to be true.....it probably is.
@juandiddley: Well, so far they haven't refunded me, and I put in my order at around 12:30 AM, this morning. So possibly, I'll still get the deal.

Just the tip of a hood could be seen being pulled from the Cheboygan River Friday afternoon. At 12:47 p.m., Cheboygan Public Safety Officer Dan Frazier received a call that a truck had slipped into the river. He said a 2011 Ford F-150, owned by Alexander Cleland of Commerce Township, Michigan, had his truck and boat trailer go off the ramp at the County Harbor. Frazier said Cleland said the vehicle came out of park. Cleland was trapped inside for before he was able to get himself out. The truck ended in 15-20 feet of water. Assisting were the Cheboygan County Sheriff's dive team, Department of Public Works and Midwest Towing and Indian River Towing. To see more photos and a video, go to www.cheboygannews.com.

Sometimes images are required to ask questions. Currently images need to be stored on external servers. If the image gets deleted, or the server goes down the question could become far less useful to other people encountering it. I would expect that uploading images would cost reputation, or have a required minimum level to keep spam away. Being able to inline display said uploaded image would be a plus as well.
What is meta?
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Uploading an image to support an answer or question should NOT cost the poster any reputation. That is crazy!
But, and this is a big BUT... The concept of the SO family allowing uploaded images to support posts would be amazing. Definitely one of my top 3 of 4 request items.
Thanks to our awesome friends at http://imgur.com we now have built in image uploads, via the standard image upload button.
This will be deployed to all our sites in the next few days, for the time being you can test on meta.
More details on the blog: New Image Upload Support.
In addition; in my office some of the more popular image hosting sites are blocked by policy; so often I simply can't see posts with an image as a key part of the question.
The downside is the additional hosting/bandwidth costs... not sure how big that would be.
There may also be some legals to deal with... so I'm not 100% convinced it will happen, but interesting idea. It would be a good thing, I expect.
The problem with "External Hosting" is as follows.
Other services are often an extra slowdown to usability. Its hard to find a good service that allows all the following:
The above factors have lead me towards avoiding any of those "have an account" based system, due to complexity of extra action bloat, and towards those "PasteBin" mentality "JustUploadIt" web services. However, I've had problems with the latter of late, as they tend to burn out and die, leaving all the images gone.
Many of my most favoured questions and answers, the ones that incurred me spending the most amount of effort producing a good answer, involve explanatory images, because textual representations of the same data are massively useless.
Image hosting has on many of them, gone down, as services age and die, and I find myself not having backups of the images anywhere, because I have a bit of a hectic time managing so much junk. ( I don't have backups of these images for the same reasons I have not downloaded all the text of all my answers on stackoverflow and have them stored somewhere on my disk, you know, "just in case" )
For me, this posts a very real problem.
Essentially, when you don't host stackoverflow images on stackoverflow, you relinquish any control you might have had on a large part of your content. Its a gaping doorway to having content that is part of your site, that might be lost at any time, and unlike the text, which when a user deletes it could still really exist forever in the database, the images are gone forever.
At least, if stackoverflow does image hosting for stackoverflow, then the images can be preserved with the content, and you only have to worry about permanent disappearance from the internet if stackoverflow itself departs this world. Unlike all the hosting providers, which may decide one day in the not to distant future to incur a policy change, and making external linking without a hosted, advertisement impregnated iframe, a payer-only feature.
Also, on legal terms*, people can publish their images on their own servers, and put whatever license they want on the content. Because its not on stackoverflow, its not actually under the cc-wiki/attribution required license, and is thus compromising the whole openness of stackoverflow.
List of broken posts of mine due to image absense. ( Note: some of them will appear to be very pointless )
Others Images that have gone missing:
Sounds like partnering with a image host service. StackOverflow main business is not image hosting. So I guess a nice facade may be in order.
There is also the problem that a lot of corporate proxy servers block different image storage sites, so some users can not see the images in some questions/answers.
Posting images can be extremely useful in certain circumstances, e.g.:
but SO makes this very painful to do, so it's no wonder so few people post them.
For example, last week I wanted to show some screenshots of how another community site automatically adds notification when you first post to a thread, (another thing that SO doesn't do very well). I soon gave up in disgust - it was just too clumsy to be worth the trouble.
(To see the site I'm talking about, which has a fairly good image upload feature, and - as a result - benefits tremendously in the quality of the info that is posted, go to RC Groups. There're a lot of things SO could learn from here!)
I don't agree that there should be a rep cost or a minimum rep before you could post images. Why should an SO newbie be penalized if his/her first question happens to benefit from an image? A simple upper limit on image size (50-100K?) should prevent severe bandwidth consumption.
I DO agree that there should be a disincentive to post screen shots of code - as Sinan says, it's not searchable. But the existing downvote mechanism will probably take care of that.
Let's err on the side of making it easy, and fix any problems if they come up!
This is an awesome feature, getting imgur support from within Stack Overflow. However there is one problem with this approach:
IMGUR is blocked by many corporate firewalls because of NSFW pics hosted on their servers.
Is there some way you could figure out an aliased DNS name or something to accommodate those of us that use SO from a corporate workplace?
Image hosting is a job in itself, and I don't think a few broken images is reason enough to undertake such a task - very few SO posts rely on images..
It would quite dramatically increase the sites bandwidth usage also - the site is currently just gzip'd text (more or less):
Really, I think imageshack.us does a good job of this task already - there's images I've put on it years ago that are still around.. even StackOverflow itself uses imageshack for the images shown during maintenance (or it did until recently?)
One situation where this would absolutely make sense - Stack Exchange, specifically the "On Site" plan - you do not want to rely on external servers to host content for your internal sites!
I think this is an excellent feature request. Today I posted a question that was answered immediately because I had an image that clearly showed what I was doing wrong (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2614242/show-blank-uitableviewcells-in-custom-uitableview). If image uploads were fully integrated, it'd be much easier to post them. Some auto-formatting and resizing (perhaps thumbs with a lightbox view?) would be key as well.
Requiring a rep threshold is a good idea. In addition, I think posting an image should cost 10 points of reputation so as to limit images to cases where there really is some benefit.
It is not just the bandwidth and the storage space and site responsiveness I worry about: Images provide far less value for search and retrieval of information later on. If people just post a screen capture of their editor rather than posting the code in text, the whole value of the site as a means of people with similar questions being able to locate answers via search engines goes down the tubes.
So, rep threshold + rep cost are both necessary if this idea is going to be adopted.
I put this up on MSE but Perhaps is is more fitting here since it pertains to an Area51 site. Sorry for the duplication, I'll remove from MSE if people think it is what I should do.
Over at Tex.SE (a beta from Area51) I recently posted a meta question regarding this issue. As Tex and Latex pertain to typesetting, visual is important, and often an image is instrumental for the answer.
One idea that came up during the private beta is to have TeX.SE cache images and change the link to an internal (or standardly hosted) image after a while if the surrounding answer/question doesn't get voted down/flagged as abusive (or if the question/answer gets "enough" up votes). This can function without SE having to provide a complicated way of uploading files and can also process the old posts retroactively (to avoid having externally hosted images disappear). So people who can place files online can do so and not worry about the permanence of that domain, and people who only want to include some figure from Wikipedia or similar can do so as well without having to worry about that article changing/getting deleted etc.
I must say that I don't like any limitation of posting images (in terms of user rep), if the image is inappropriate, the surrounding question/answer should be voted down, as with inappropriate text. This should solve the most abusive use-cases. Another option would be to have voting buttons and/or report abuse buttons on the figure itself (and not only on the question/answer) so that people can pinpoint what they see as abusive.

In addition to the Northwest Extreme Late Model Series being on tap at Sunset Speedway Park there would be six other divisions in competition on Saturday August 23rd for Driver Appreciation Night. Those six classes included the IMCA Modifieds, Street Stocks, Northwest Extreme Modifieds, Pure Stock/Womens, Dwarf Cars, and 4-Bee's.

May is my month, the month I'm the happiest.
And it's mainly because of two words that both start with the letter "P."
Plants and the porch.
As I write this column on Wednesday evening, I already have promised myself to devote some of the upcoming sunny, warm weekend to both of these "P" word pursuits.
That means a trip to the greenhouse to buy plants and a trip to the basement to bring out of storage the blinds and furniture and assorted porch paraphernalia.
Both do my heart good, but the trip to the greenhouse is way more fun, definitely more pleasing to the eye than the Kiaski dungeon where chairs and stands and such are stacked, awaiting their rightful return to the outdoor setting.
Everything looks beautiful, though, when you go to buy plants, and I am one very discerning consumer when it comes to purchasing them.
I look around, and I want one of everything, please. My husband's buying.
But then I settle down after about my 100th "Oh, that's so pretty!" assessment of yet another display of foliage and flowers. Better Half has long since tuned me out, of course, having his tomato time with the likes of Early Girls, Big Boys and Better Boys.
I respect that because these are important decisions and consumer transactions as the tomatoes ultimately produce the nectar of the gods - Better Half's highly sought after tomato juice after which all the family clamors.
He talks to his plants. I talk to mine. I tell them how pretty they are, what a great job they're doing. I ask them if they're thirsty, if there's anything I can get them.
God only knows what I'd do if they ever verbally responded.
Probably write a column about it.
With plants in place, the porch goes from barren to busy with furniture and all the fixins', including the glorious grill that makes even me happy to cook.
The baskets are hung, the furniture arranged and all is well with one chair understood to be Better Half's, the other one mine, optimum spots for crossword puzzle solving and snoozing, respectively.
I forget how much I've missed the back porch through the winter months until it's all fixed up and ready for leisure living, until I've sat out there and savored those initial moments of returning to a familiar haven.
The back porch is like a friend you don't see all the time but when you do, you pick right back up where you left off.
You don't miss a beat.
Good things happen on the back porch, the place where we solve the world's problems, decide on dinner and watch the tomato plants grow and the flowers bloom.
It is a setting ideal in which to do nothing and then rest afterwards, so the Spanish proverb goes.
I'm all for that, especially starting with this fifth month of the year.
Welcome back, May.
We've missed you.

Avalanches are extremely dangerous when mountaineering, winter backpacking/camping, or backcountry skiing/snowboarding.
What causes them and is there any way I can predict when an avalanche is about to occur?
This is an extremely deep topic which has entire forum sites dedicated to it. However I will attempt to summarize the key points for the average enthusiast.
First - Don't ever travel into uncontrolled avalanche terrain if you have not received proper training from an expert in avalanche conditions, triggers, mitigation, and rescue. It's stupid, seriously you can die, and many people each year do.
Second - If you receive training the first thing that you will be taught is to Always wear a transceiver, and know how to use it. It is very possible that your life or that of someone you care about will be saved by a transceiver. Your better off forgetting your ski's or snowboard than your transceiver.
Third - Always carry a shovel, avalanche probe pole, and extra clothing when in avalanche terrain.
Now that's out of the way
Avalanche Overview
Information is summarized from the Canadian Avalanche Center
Snowpack Layering
Types of Avalanches
Signs of Unstable Snow
Most Common Triggers
Reducing Avalanche Risk
Good Habits
General Avalanche Prediction
Note this is by NO means comprehensive, and is only the tip of the iceberg.

I have some sections of 2" PVC and some Tee fittings that I need to join. On the Tee fittings, the main line is threaded and the outlets are smooth. How can I cut the threads in the straight sections to join with the threaded main line?
I see no reason why you should cut threads on a PVC pipe. It seems to me that this would be unnecessarily difficult and would weaken the pipe.
You should, instead, get a slip to thread adapter and glue it onto the pipe to thread it wherever you like. Any big-box hardware store or irrigation department should be able to provide this adapter.
Threaded fittings on PVC are intended to connect to existing, threaded NON-PVC connectors, such as galvanized pipe or fittings.
When connecting PVC to PVC it should all be glue joints without threads. You have the wrong type of fitting. Fittings are very cheap, much cheaper than adapters.
Need to thread PVC? Use schedule 80.
"Schedule 40 PVC pipe is for socket fittings (slip glue) only; threading is not a recommended practice.
Schedule 80 PVC pipe can be threaded."

Unlike Friday�s crisp, entertaining girls lacrosse match between Durango and Grand Junction, Saturday�s affair was a sloppy, grind-it-out affair.
And unlike Friday, Saturday�s game saw the Tigers eke out a win.
Emma LeFebre�s goal with 15:46 to go was the final tally of the game, and it gave Grand Junction a 5-4 win over the Demons on Senior Day at DHS Stadium.
Durango�s lineup was chock full of new starters Saturday as a good chunk of the seniors � including the injured Liz Lozano and Alison Millar, who hobbled off after the opening draw � opened the game on the field.
Fresh faces and the loss of stalwart defender Lozano � who left Friday�s game late with a knee injury and whose status is uncertain for the Demons� opening playoff game � may have contributed to the atypical disjointed play from DHS (10-2).
Becca Rossi also didn�t play until the second half, with DHS head coach Jenni Darlow hoping she didn�t have to use the banged-up midfielder.
Senior midfielder Mollie Bennett said perhaps the comedown from Friday�s Mountain League title-clinching victory played a role. DHS and Grand Junction both struggled to connect their passes as well as both teams had the day before, and the ball spent much more time on the ground in the middle of scrums as a result.
�I think we were so excited about the win (Friday), and we came out excited � we came out more relaxed � and maybe we came out too relaxed for this game,� said Bennett, daughter of Cherie and Tim Bennett.
The Tigers (10-3) broke what had been a long scoreless period to start the game and took a 2-0 lead with 11:13 left in the opening half behind goals from Morgan Emmons and LeFebre, who scored twice.
DHS got goals soon after from leading scorer Jessie Ransford and Siena Gumbiner to even things at 2. Bennett gave Durango the lead when she got just enough stick on Ransford�s pass to get the ball to trickle over the goal line.
�It got in there, but then it came out, and I don�t think I had full control of the ball,� Bennett said or her goal. �And I came down with it, and it barely rolled in.�
Kacie Jay, Grand Junction�s leading goal scorer, rallied the Tigers back in front with two goals, giving her side a 4-3 halftime lead. Gumbiner�s second-half goal tied the game at 4 before LeFebre put the Tigers up for good.
Durango had several long stretches of possession in the offensive zone in the second half, but, much to Darlow�s dismay, the Demons never quite got into good position to score.
�We talked about wanting to run plays on offense, so they were passing the ball around trying to be able to do that, but no one was looking to score. ... It looked like, if you were watching, that we were trying to run the clock out like we were ahead,� Darlow said.
Darlow, however, did praise the ability of her defense to recover and limit Grand Junction�s chances. Alyssa Spencer also made 16 saves for DHS.
Durango now awaits today�s playoff bracket, likely hoping to avoid an opening-round game in the middle of the week in order for more time to rest its collective aches and pains.
Darlow, however, said she�s fully expecting to be in action in the first round.
�I think (rest) is vital to our success in the playoffs. ... Some time would be amazing, but I think we needed the win to have that,� she said.

WACO (January 28, 2013)—About 600 crosses set up at pro-life memorial park in North Waco were mowed down sometime over the weekend and police are looking for suspects after what the park's founder called the "most devastating" act of vandalism in the memorial's 12-year history.
An employee of a nearby business reported the vandalism Saturday morning at Rachel's Memorial Park at 4720 North 19th St. in Waco, where 4,000 crosses were erected in 2000, representing the number of abortions performed each day.
The vandal who drove through the park damaged a picket fence and cut a swath of damage 12-and-a-half feet wide and 136 feet, the park's founder, the Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas said Monday.
The damaged area was littered not only with the rebar-reinforced crosses that were mowed down, but also oil, two tires and parts of the underside of the vehicle, Thomas said.
The park's central Tomb of the Unknown Baby was not damaged, Thomas said.
"It appears the animosity against the preborn knows no bounds," Thomas said Monday.
"Not only are we content as a nation to stand back and allow the preborn to die through the sin and crime of abortion, but now there are those among us who seek to destroy the very memory of these children as well," he said.
In February 2008, police investigated a similar incident in which 200 to 300 crosses were destroyed.
Investigators are asking anyone with information to call the Waco Police Department (254) 750-7500 or Waco Crime Stoppers at (254) 753-4357.

What would be a simple method to compute a reduction formula for the following?
$\displaystyle I_{n}=\int {\cos{nx} \over \cos{x}} \rm{d}x~$ where $n$ is a positive integer
I understand that it may involve splitting the numerator into $\cos(n-2+2)x~$ (or something similar to this form...), but how would one intuitively recognize that manipulating the expression into such a random arrangement is the way to proceed on this question? Moreover, are there alternative methods, and possibly even some way of directly computing this integral without the need for a reduction formula?

Merry, Merry Ghost
Merry, Merry Ghost
A Mystery
William Morrow, Hardcover, 9780060874377, 288pp.
Publication Date: November 1, 2009
Being dead can't put a damper on spirited, holiday-loving Bailey Ruth Raeburn.
Christmas is a time for family and giving, and a wealthy woman in Adelaide, Oklahoma, is about to embrace both. Discovering that she has a young grandson, the dowager decides to change her will to leave the bulk of her fortune to the young boy—an alteration that stuns the rest of her family. But a scrooge of a determined heir makes sure she never signs the new document. When she is found dead, it's up to that irrepressible spirit Bailey Ruth, on assignment from Wiggins and Heaven's Department of Good Intentions, to protect a little boy, foil a murderer, and save Christmas.
There's only one teeny hitch: how can Bailey Ruth figure out which family member was desperate enough to kill when everyone has a motive?
An accomplished master of mystery, Carolyn Hart is the author of twenty previous Death on Demand novels. Her books have won multiple Agatha, Anthony, and Macavity Awards. She is also the creator of the Henrie O series, featuring a retired reporter, and the Bailey Ruth series, starring an impetuous, redheaded ghost. One of the founders of Sisters in Crime, Hart lives in Oklahoma City.
"Delightful . . . Bailey Ruth's pleasure in her earthly wardrobe, her keen observations of the other characters and her unorthodox but expert sleuthing will engage readers from start to finish."
-Publishers Weekly
A cute and cozy mystery

History's 6 Greatest Examples of Financial Fail
We live in uncertain economic times. In moments like this, sensible folks save money, invest wisely, and stock up on ammunition for the forthcoming class wars.
Others, however, dump their savings into a gold-plated wheelbarrow so they can carry the $50,000 required to buy a loaf of bread in style. Today, we celebrate those fiscal morons that make lists like this possible.
#6. Mike Tyson
How badass of a boxer was Mike Tyson? He knocked unconscious 26 of the first 28 opponents he faced, 16 of them in the first freaking round. Most of his opponents had no trouble meeting a qualifying weight prior to their fight because of the regularity with which they shit themselves beforehand.
He was the undisputed champ by age 21. Realizing that Tyson was running out of people to punch in the real world, Nintendo inserted him digitally into Mike Tyson's Punchout!! so he could haunt the dreams of children and future opponents alike.
Despite a couple of hiccups along the way, Mike Tyson's notoriety allowed him to eventually command over $30 million a fight, building a fortune in excess of $300 million.
So What Happened?
Well, the "hiccups" included an embarrassing loss to 42:1 underdog Buster Douglas and a rape conviction in 1992. As hiccups go, those would cause your metaphorical diaphragm to eject your lungs on to the pavement. He was incarcerated for 3 years, only to return to boxing more unhinged than he left it:
Still, his $300 million had to make him feel better about all that. After all, that's more money than you can ever spend!
Actually, no. Especially if, like Tyson, you paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a gentleman answering to "Crocodile," whose job it was to shout "Guerrilla Warfare!" at pre-fight press-conferences. Or if you purchase two Bengal tigers that cost $12,000 monthly for care and feeding (Bengal tigers will apparently only eat meat that has been first coated in gold).
According to reports, Tyson had:
"...custom-made Harley Davidsons, a fleet of Rolls, Bentleys and Ferraris. Once, in Vegas, he bought a batch of six Rolls and distributed them among his friends. He's had a half-million dollar watch emblazoned with pornography."
But worst of all, Tyson got wrapped up in a very expensive addiction. That's right: pigeons. Tyson started a pigeon-breeding operation, winding up with 350 world-class birds imported from all over the world, costing thousands a month in care and feeding and four elaborate coups to house them on his property.
In 2003, Tyson declared bankruptcy, owing approximately $10.2 million to the IRS and creditors.
"Why did I do this?"
What We Can Learn from This:
In the event you become the heavyweight boxing champion, fight the urge to purchase a $100,000 platinum bracelet inscribed with "Heavyweight Champ." We have found that the gold belt occupying a third of your torso does an equally good job of advertising the same. Not to mention the inscription severely limits the potential pool of people to resell to.
#5. Thomas Jefferson
On top of Thomas Jefferson being one of the great icons of American history, he also had the distinction of being the president with the worst credit rating ever.
Jefferson inherited an estate of about 2,500 acres and 30 slaves from his deceased father. It's hard to demonstrate what that would be worth in modern terms, especially since pesky human rights nutjobs have prevented us from determining present market value on slaves, but it's probably a lot.
Of course the man wasn't exactly sitting on his wealth, he made the modern equivalent of $307,000 a year as President, for eight straight years, plus all the perks you can make on the side (such as signing autographs at car shows or whatever).
We can pretend he's signing an autograph, but that's probably the Constitution or whatever.
So What Happened?
We could point out that during his term he spent the equivalent of $120,000 on wine alone. He once ordered 382 bottles in a single month.
But that doesn't seem unreasonable. Being president is a stressful job, you need to kick back now and then with a case of wine.
Then, we have Monticello. This was a time when houses got big and elaborate enough, you gave them names. Single names, like Cher and Prince.
That's the tool shed.
The sprawling estate took nearly 40 years to construct. It was 43 rooms and 11,000 square feet of awesome.
He had little wine elevators built into the walls, to shoot bottles directly up from the wine cellar to the dining room. The man could sit there and eat, reach out to the wall and a fucking bottle of wine would pop into his hand. Bottle's empty, just drop it down the chute, and a full one takes its place. Sure, there was a slave down in the basement operating it, but still. The man knew how to live.
He also these Scooby-Doo style hidden revolving shelves installed, which the slaves would use to serve food, sparing the guests the unpleasant experience of seeing a slave. Are you picturing this? They put food on one side, spin it around. The man had his whole operation set up so that the finest food and drink in the world just magically appeared out of his walls.
Hey, did we mention the house had its own beer cellar? Where he could brew his own, to the tune of 200 gallons a year? Does Bill Gates even fucking have one of those?
Also, it's on a mountain.
Jefferson had his kitchen utensils shipped in from France, in an era when shipping things to the other side of the planet wasn't exactly easy. All told he had 86 crates of paintings and decorations and every other thing boated in from there.
The man couldn't have been more of a pimp if he had outfitted his farm equipment with 20" spinnaz.
But as you can guess, it didn't come cheap. Debts ran out of control and despite the evident strength of his pimp hand, his debtors' payments were infrequent and inadequate. It was really only his prominence and reputation that kept the bill collectors at bay, at least until he died. The executor of Jefferson's estate was left with the modern equivalent of $1 to 2 million in debt, and most of the estate was sold off to pay it off.
What We Can Learn from This:
If you're having difficulty paying back a mounting debt, consider declaring independence from a sovereign nation to forge ideals from the French Enlightenment period. It's a long shot, but TJ demonstrated the power of a killer rep.
#4. Kim Basinger
Remember her? She used to be the biggest female star in Hollywood. Kim Basinger's rise proved that the American dream is attainable for anyone that happens to be a balls-hot, skinny white chick.
Basinger was a beauty queen who was plucked out of her first national competition by the Ford Modeling Agency. When she wasn't busy commanding $1,000 a day for various shoots and shunning sustenance, she studied acting. Her move to Los Angeles lead to appearing as James Bond's love dumpster du jour, Domino Petachi, in Never Say Never Again.
God Almighty, he's hairy.
Shortly thereafter she starred her in seminal work (pun strongly intended) 9 1/2 Weeks, an erotic thriller that famously caused both Siskel and Ebert to state it gave them visible erections. Ultimately it was her last minute replacement of Sean Young in 1989's Batman that cemented her super-star status and really brought in the big bucks. What could possibly go wrong?
So What Happened?
Her starpower was certainly sturdy enough to weather any financial storm as long as she didn't make any really, really ludicrous financial decisions like trying to purchase an entire town or something.
Yes, based on the advice of her family members, many of them likely albino cousins named Jed, Basinger purchased Braselton, Georgia for $20 million. She had designs on turning it into a tourist attraction or possibly just wanted to boost the box office of her films by subjugating the captive population to see each one several hundred times.
Shockingly, the town of 1,206 people didn't become the new Las Vegas.
Then, she got nailed with an $8 million breach of contract penalty for backing out of the film Boxing Helena, at which point Basinger filed bankruptcy.
Just look at that sweet, filthy bankruptcy. Hell yeah.
What We Can Learn from This:
Look, it's going to come up at some point. The salesman will have a great pitch, you'll be impressed by the tour, but damnit, people, don't buy a fucking town.
Now we could add that you shouldn't back out of movies at the last moment or you might get sued, but it turned out Boxing Helena was a movie about a woman who has all of her limbs amputated and lives in a box. So that one was probably worth the bankruptcy in the long run.

STEUBENVILLE - It is still hard for Cookie West to talk about her son.
Lee West died on Jan. 31 of this year, the victim of a house fire at his 316 Virginia Ave. home.
But even as she mourns the loss of her 15-year-old son, Cookie and her two daughters continue to give back to the community that embraced her family following Lee's death.
Article Photos
REMEMBERING LEE — Cookie West of Steubenville has planned a free community Christmas party Saturday to honor her late son, Lee West, and to say thanks for the community's support after Lee was killed in a house fire last January. Cookie sat down to talk about the past year in her life and dealing with life without her son. - Dave Gossett
"We are planning a free community Christmas party from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday at the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreation Center. We will have pizza and cookies available from 11 a.m. until 1 p.m., and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. we will hold a family basketball tournament. We are asking each team that enters the tournament to be all family members. They can be brothers or sisters, parents, aunts or uncles. We just want each team to be from the same family," explained Cookie.
This isn't the first event Cookie has arranged to remember Lee.
She held a birthday party to celebrate what would have been her son's 16th birthday in July that saw 1,500 people join her at Belleview Park
"The summer event was fantastic. The entire park was filled with people. It was far more people than I ever expected. The D.A.R.E. officer was there. The Steubenville Tigers came to the summer event along with the Steubenville Fire Department. It was really nice to see that many people come to celebrate Lee's birthday," noted Cookie.
"The Steubenville Fire Department will be at the community Christmas party Saturday. They are excited about coming to the party. They have a hard job to do and I appreciate their support. We want to explain how Lee passed. So many people asked why Lee didn't climb out a window. But it was the carbon monoxide that got to Lee. And carbon monoxide is odorless and tasteless. We all need to be aware of fire safety," said Cookie.
"I had two fire alarms in my house but they weren't enough. I encourage people to get carbon monoxide detectors. Don't think about them when it is too late," she commented.
"The holiday season makes it all harder for me. But God makes it more manageable. Lee always wanted to give back to the community. There are bad things in our community but I want to do things to help promote the positive sides of our community. We all need to promote family, love and Jesus Christ in our lives," continued Cookie.
"Everyone I have talked to or met was touched by Lee in one way or another. Teachers, students, adults and children have told me stories of how Lee touched them. So with the help of some really awesome people we have organized this movement to do what's right in God's sight. We want to promote Christian activities throughout the Ohio Valley's youth and families to help enrich and engage their mind, body and spirit," according to Cookie.
"Lee was such a big part of our lives. And I wake up every day thinking of him. I cry when I need to cry and when I feel sad, then I am sad. I won't feel any different 20 years from now. I miss him very much but I know he is in heaven," she said.
"God has comforted me. My tears are tears of joy because Lee is in heaven. And they are tears of sorrow because I miss him," Cookie said.
"I remember when I was praying God came to me and said Lee was with the angels. I told God I was OK because Lee was with him. The only way to function and to be who I am is through the grace of God. I know how my heart feels, but I have God. And I have more good days than bad," explained Cookie.
"I pray for this tragedy can be a blessing for all of our communities. And I hope everyone and anyone who was touched by Lee can join us Saturday to remember Lee and to start working together for the future of all of our children," she said.
"I still have people come up to me and say they are praying for me. Every day is tough for me. No one day is less tough than another day. I have had hard days and long days. But at the same time I am so encouraged by the youth of the community. The youth are very compassionate, loving and caring," said Cookie.

I have an apache webserver / mailserver (running on Ubuntu) setup like following:
- Speedport Router with NAT for all required ports
- DynDNS to get the domain name by using a non-static IP address
The problem I face is, that the website abc.com can be accessed ok from outside of the Intranet but not anymore from the inside.
The speedport router does not allow to make any changes regarding to the domain name routing
This is my hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
127.0.0.1 localhost
#192.168.2.110 marvin.localhost.com marvin
#10.8.0.1 marvin marvin.localhost.com
127.0.0.1 mx.localhost.com.cust.b.hostedemail.com
192.168.2.110 DOMAINNAME.com
# 192.168.2.110 marvin.DOMAINNAME.com marvin
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
This used to work ok for a year and suddenly stopped working, which puzzles me. It seems like in the Intranet the domainname is not published / routed correctly.

or any suggestion of Nodal Ninja Setup will fit on that camera and lens.. thanks guys
ow.. i see..thank you so much nick fan.. how about tripod that will fit on my setup to fully create a 360degree panoramic picture?
William, It would be difficult to find a tripod that would not fit your setup. They come with either the standard camera 1/4" screw fitting or a 3/8" screw. An adapter is supplied with the Nodal Ninja heads to accommodate both types. Avoid tripods that have a built-in pan and tilt head with sticky out arms, as these intrude into the 360x180 view. Otherwise, almost any tripod will do. However, there are conflicting requirements for the ideal tripod: it should be rigid and stable, yet light enough to carry around in a backpack, oh and it should not be too expensive. A heavy, rock solid Manfrotto is excellent, but you wouldn't want to carry it around all day. So you will have to compromise in one area or another. You may well end up with more than one to suit different situations. The topic of the "best tripod" is raised quite often in various forums. A forum search will find them. E.g. See http://www.nodalninja.com/forum/show...ghlight=tripod
Hi William,
in case you choose for one with a center column, try to find one which is not very long or choose one where you can change to a shorter center column. Very long center column may stand out below the Nadir Adapter in Nadir2 shot and cover the info to get a good stitch without black areas.
You may have a look at www.Feisol.com as well.
For me it is important to choose one which is high enough without raised center column, that I can look through the viewfinder without bending too much in my back.

thanks to both of you. it helps a lot.=) do you think, i need to buy a ball head to the tripod?
Last edited by william anderson; 01-20-2013 at 09:58 PM.
If you ask me personally, I would not use it. To level I would prefer to use the EZ-Leveller II.
There is a lot of weight on top of the ballhead. Opening the ball head for free movement, you have to use one hand to prevent the whole top gear from falling aside, which might end up in a crash. So you have to get a ballhead where you can adapt tension and which is able to carry a lot of weight. This will cost you some hundred dollars.
The best thing is to use the Ez-Leveller II or the panoramahead directly on top of the tripod because more height will end up in more torque.
There are some users who use a ballhead. I have tried but I do not like it at all. I use EZ-Leveller II and nothing in between.
Hello William
I am definitely with Heinz on this one!
I usually level up by adjusting the legs in turn, just two not all three, one at a time.
You can grip the leg with one hand whilst adjusting it and if you have a screw type clamp you can also control the friction.
I also use a survey tribrach sometimes, which is the same as the EZ-leveller Heinz mentions, and would buy an EZ-leveller if I did not have some survey tribrachs already.

Come see what's coming in the next version of C# and Visual Basic. The major new feature is "Async", which makes for much simpler code whenever you're writing database or internet-connected apps – both in client apps that need responsive UIs, and server apps that need to be responsive. We have recently released a public CTP of this feature. This talk will tell you how to get the most out of the CTP today, and what is its roadmap for the future. As for further features planned after that? Think of this session as your direct connection to the VB and C# language design teams – I'll tell you what we're thinking, and you can tell us what you want.
Speaker: Lucian Wischik
Oops, something didn't work.
Very nice talk!
Bob ross is back... (His voice at least)
Really enjoyed this talk, Lucian.
You gave some nice clear and concise metaphors for Async.
Just an Observation Lucian, in the Paste As VB demo. the code after the paste
Function factorial(i As Integer) As Integer If i = 0 Return 1 Else Return i * factorial(i - 1) End If End Function
is missing a Then
Function factorial(i As Integer) As Integer If i = 0 Then Return 1 Else Return i * factorial(i - 1) End If End Function
