Nikki Randall plays a bratty(!), bitchy porn star. Gee, what a stretch! After she makes it with long-haired London, Kym Cummings slavers over Rick Masters and rocks Kyle Stone. Nikki eats a Sapphic slice of Sweetie Pie, and a blonde Cheyenne makes David a hard man.
Well below previous Norman efforts, this show reeks of "been there, done that."

About Emer Mayock
The melodic playing of Emer Mayock has placed her at the forefront of traditional Irish music. A native of Ross, Ireland, a small village near Castlebar in County Mayo, Mayock began playing the tin whistle at the age of five. By her teens, she had mastered the instrument, as well as the timber flute. At the age of 14, she composed his first air. Mayock released her debut album, Merry Bits Of Timber, nine years later at the age of 23. ~ Craig Harris, Rovi

Now, before I begin this, I want to start with a statement that I LOVE FPS games! I spend hours playing Halo games, and before that I spent hours doing the CoD games (up to Blops) and Battlefield games too!. I make this statement in terms of SOME PEOPLE, not all, who play and really create a hostile community that turns gamers away and ends up being what crazy advocates point at to say that we're all racist, narcassistic couch potato's that have anger issues and socialization problems!
Playing through, and being an admin/rcon on many PC based games where the community was controllable and then making the comparison to the console version (where it was a Free for all mostly), it makes one think about those assertions being made about us, as well as where we (gamers) tend to see the most those types of gamers show up. I can say that in the PC world, those people ended up in MMORPG's more than anywhere, but in a market that lacks MMORPG's they show up in competitive FPS games.
To start, I suppose I will being with the old clan and dedicated server communities in CoD4. I think this was a great starting point to make my point on gaming and just how the FPS evolution may need to be looked at. Now I will say that we ran 6 servers, (2 CoD1, 2 CoD4 and 2 CoD5) where keeping an atomphere of clean play, no cheating, no excessive cursing and abosolute no tolerance for racial slurs, it was like a part time job I and about 12 other people shared to keep our servers clean (all max slot servers, typically full). When MW2 showed up, my experience changed a bit as we would use our Xbox 360 consoles to play, cheaters were rampant and the conversation went beyond acceptable trash talk, and out to the limits of things that were said with as malice an intent as could be. I would say that perhaps this was isolated, and perhaps it was the Xbox community, but this persisted in BFBC2 which I exclusively played on the PS3! As this experience continued, and into Halo:Reach and 4, it makes me wonder if these games are where these people congregate? The next question would should be, would they be gamers without the FPS games?
Now, I should stop a moment and say that, not every game or gamer is like that in FPS games! its far from the truth to assume that anyone you game with will be that way! My statement is that in this PARTICULAR genre of gaming, it seams to be the place where you find this the most! in RPG style games or anything that is truly meant to be enjoyed for the fun, the challenge (co-op) tends to not have this element so much.
I guess here is where I prompt those of you who have read this far to consider, "would the gaming community be better without FPS games?" or I should say "competitive FPS games." I wonder if we, as gamers, would end up seeing more innovation within the game developers, would we have more clout in terms of gaming being an acceptable medium as art? By removing the angry screaming tweens and teens (not all of you are, I know), would the community improve generally? It was an interesting question to wonder while playing through Halo 4, hunting achievements (and then going back to Borderlands 2 a bit).
What do you think?

This editorial neglects to point out that every member of the "Congressional Study Group" is a Republican tied to big agriculture or forest products. Their report is utterly predictable with the findings completely determined long before any "study" was held. Wildlife will suffer for it, and so will we.

Of course the ESA did not lose sight of its mission. USFWS has however, and for quite some time. A person only has to go down the list: ESA, MBTA, WBCA, etc. to see that for every law passed by Congress and implemented by the USFWS, great effort is made by officials within the Service to manipulate each so as to use the resulting regulations as weapons against citizens. Conservation is no longer a goal. Restricting citizen activity is. The Natural Resources Committee is very much aware of this. They are informed of the corruption in the Service destroying businesses that would otherwise contribute to conservation. They also know of massive litigation efforts wasting funds originally designated for conservation but redirected to cover Service legal expenses. And is their response to all this to hold corrupt and abusive Service officials accountable? Sadly no. They conduct more meetings!

Good Article, there is always easier ways to accomplish a goal, rather that being combative with property owners, find ways to give incentives to be a good steward of the land and wildlife. Suing good law abiding land owners is not the answer, it becomes power grab by not so well intentioned bureaucrats.

To "Irony Guy" who complains that, "...every member of the
'Congressional Study Group' is a Republican tied to big agriculture or
forest products", I can't help but observe that the only thing you
comment on is of a political nature and completely ignore the atrocious
performance statistics.
Are you not at all concerned by the abysmal performance regarding the original purpose of the "Endangered Species Act"?
More than anything else, your narrow and warped focus simply confirms the general thrust of the article, that the ESA, and it appears you, have lost sight of the mission.

And yet the author neglects to mention that the world is loosing species at an
increasing rate. So if anything we need more protection not less.
The grouse population increased for 1 year? That's the argument they don't need any more protection?
More pseudo science from naysayers.

Would you like some feedback about a film edited with Kdenlive? Make an announcement here!
Here is a video I shot with my Canon EOS 7D to demonstrate features of an Android application:
Here is a link to another video I made using KDEnlive :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQtkX1kq7b0
This is a link to short video clip I made with KDEnlive-7.7.1-1 on openSUSE-11.2.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dG-eZ2itPq4
hi, I'm coming back to Kdenlive community after a while away (I have worked on Portuguese translations and the Wikipédia book a long time ago).
I have done with a friend an amateur open source stop motion movie. While not professionnal stuff, we have worked on it 2 hours a week for 4 years, so we hope it is not completely interestless...
Bogenbau-Anleitung: Intro – Werkzeug from Simon Eugster on Vimeo.
hey guys!
Almost a month ago I published the first trailer of the indie game I'm developing: The Undergrounder.
The video is embedded on the website, but it's also available on youtube and vimeo.
Any feedback/comment is welcome.
I now have a channel for my videos on YouTube:
It's a home for my videos created with AVSynthesis and for clips of my students performing in recitals.
I just discovered kdenlive and I'm amazed at how quick the learning curve is.
I had never used any video-editing software, and first heard about it on a Wednesday evening, apt-get installed 24 hours later, and finished my first 4-min video on the following Friday. Apart from watching 3 tutorials it was mostly done intuitively.
I got recorded a really strange atmosphere in Washington this summer. To get the real crazy touch I played the american national anthem in the style of Jimi Hendrix and mixed it with the original sound in a stereo file. You can adjust the sound using your stereo balance. On the left you have just the guitar, on the right just all the rest.
I hope you have fun with it :-)
I create experimental videos with AVSynthesis and use Kdenlive for titles and conversion to YouTube formats. Here are two of my latest ditties :
Mars Study 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oqNtU-LDgY

5.0 stars 18 totalReview Laura Lanzisera
Posted by John
Laura and Melody worked hard on my case and got it done....can't ask for more....Good communication by her and her office, as well as good prep for depositions.
Posted by Brad
Laura, worked diligently to help me receive the most possible for my injuries ! I would recommend her highly in every applicable situation . Look no further ! Thanks Laura
Posted by Zsamaria
I experienced an injury with my employer. I even had a different attorney the first year. after changing to laura. I was complete and came out a winner within 6 months
Posted by timothy
Words cannot express the debt of gratitude I owe to Mrs. Lanzisera. I was involved in a work related accident. At a time when I was at my lowest, Laura could not have been more supportive. I found Laura to be highly professional, empathetic, supportive, and detail oriented. She walked me through every step of the process, and never gave up on me. She remained true to her word. She never pushed me, or made me decide on anything that I was not in agreement with. I highly recommend Mrs. Lanzisera. You will not be disappointed with her services!
Posted by Mary
Laura took my case when no other attorney would "not big enough for us" was the usual reply. Yet, through Laura's diligence and expertise, I got a great settlement. She was always available for me and not once did I get shuffled off to an associate. I felt valued, and that my case was winnable.
Posted by Felicia
I love having Ms. Lanzisera as my lawyer, she is brilliant, and she is committed to the end. I was very impressed with her dedication and her work ethics. She is strong and fearless, and this made me strong and fearless because she showed those opposing me that we were not going to bow or bend. Although, I got on her nerve, she was always patient and steadfast. I have hired Ms. Lanzisera twice and both times I was not disappointed, and I was very satisfied. I will hire her again, and again, Laura Lanzisera , Esq is the best at what she does, choose her, hire her, you won't go wrong with her on your team because her expertise is above all.
Posted by Owen
Before I reached out to Laura, I was given the "run around", with my previous attorney. Once I started doing business with Ms. Lanzisera, I was immediately relieved of the prior stress I was dealing with from my former attorney, as well as the stress from the injury itself! She made sure I was aware of everything, at all times dealing with my case, which was a huge relief. There's only One lawyer I would Ever recommend to anyone concerning workers compensation, and that's Ms. Lanzisera!
Posted by a client
There is nothing worse then being punished for being injured. I did all I could do alone. When I reached out to Mrs. Lanzisera I was unsure what to expect. I needed to put my trust into the law and needed to find a great attorney. I got both results when I hired Mrs. Lanzisera. It is beyond stressful to handle a case along with dealing with an injury that causes you an extreme amount of pain every single day. Mrs. Lanzisera always took the time to explain to me the details of my case. She also made sure corresponded with me. When I could not reach her due to her being in court her wonderful assistant helped me as well. Mrs. Lanzisera advocated for me and was very consistent. After hiring Mrs. Lanzisera I had to have a second surgery for the same injury to remove hardware. I was so done, stressed, and in pain. Mrs. Lanzisera checked up on me to make sure that I was okay and fought for me until the end of my case. I can now continue to heal. If you are looking for an attorney that will help you and will keep your best interest at heart you will find that in Mrs. Lanzisera.
Posted by a client
I am very grateful to have Laura represent me on a difficult case, as I had no support from my employer to pay my medical expenses while I was covered under Workers Comp. She was able to get everything resolved amicably, including me being able to keep my position within the company. I was very impressed with her frequent communication as to the status of my case, not to mention keeping everything in layman's (non-technical) terms for me. Thanks again Laura, I would recommend you to anyone, anytime.
Posted by Dakota
Ms. Lanzisera kept me up to date on everything I needed to know and made sure everything was handled properly! I would recommend her anytime.

OK, i know my posts have been very intermittent and matter of fact to the point of desiccation recently (ever since i was asked by Windows Vista to expunge one of my posts - it was their IP, intellectual property, watchdogs too). So you know what this means right? Yup, i'm well overdue to stir things up again...

So late Monday afternoon, i was over at one of the Redmond campus buildings to check out some (not overly) impressive demonstrations for the Coding4Fun booth that i'm supposed to be running at the big Anaheim launch event next week (don't worry if you're planning on attending though, i'm now working with my new pal Mark Miller, chief architect of Developer Express' CodeRush and Refactor! products, to come up with some much cooler stuff to show). Afterward, i made a call on my cell phone to arrange some Webcasts in the new year and looking out the window, noticed a whole gaggle of friends from the Visual Basic (and VS Data/LINQ) team walk by on their way to the nearby cafeteria.

When i got there to say hello, it became evident the purpose of the gathering was to get their team photos taken and do the big product box signing ritual. Of course, i was immediately greeted with (libelous) accusations of crashing any party that goes on (patently false by the way - just those worth crashing). Unfortunately (or fortunately as it turns out), i already missed their ship-it (product release) party combined together with their holiday party.

FYI, ship-it parties, in recognition of all the effort and long hours that go into a product development cycle, are typically a BIG DEAL - the SQL Server 2005 team are going up to Whistler soon for theirs, even the red-headed step-child of Developer Division (er, that would be the FoxPro team) would get to jet off to Vegas for the weekend. Holiday parties though not nearly as lavish as past years, are still a biggish deal - e.g., the team that i'm on are jetting off to Vegas next week, yeah!

So what top-rated, favorite American vacation hotspot did the Visual Basic team get to go to for their COMBINED ship-it and holiday party? Yup, you guessed it - that's right, Seattle Center for an all expenses paid buffet dinner! Congratulations on a job well done!

It's not exactly a lump of coal in their stocking but from any angle it looks like the Visual Basic team got the weenies end of the shrimp stick (i'll save the shrimp and weenies story alluded to for another post). They did a darned good job with Visual Basic 2005 like getting that Edit and Continue feature from Visual Basic 6.0 back into the product finally. And when you think about it, they really had their work cut out for them just trying to keep up with all the language innovations that their counterparts got into C# 2.0...

All kidding aside, i think the Visual Basic team deserve more. Maybe we could take donations on their behalf and at least send them to the distant lands of... beautiful, exotic Alki Beach in West Seattle. At least it would really be a proper weenie roast then!

What do you think?

See all the really juicy tid-bits i miss out on (and don't get to report) now that i'm mostly away from Redmond? No, i'm not asking for a write-in campaign to send me back! I like living in SoCal just fine, thank you very much.

The still newish .NET user group in Santa Barbara is going strong. Their third meeting is coming up on Tuesday, December 13th, with Microsoft's other SoCal developer evangelist, Gerald Walsh, coming up to present on some of the new features in the .NET Framework 2.0 like type enhancements, generics and more. Note, that they will be moving to a new meeting location in the Santa Barbara Technology Group Building, courtesy of Truston Corp.

Not sure where this is located? Check out the group's nascent Web site at http://www.sbdotnetug.org.

If you're a .NET developer in the Santa Barbara area, get involved in the group now or you'll miss out on some great presentations and other community opportunities coming in the new year.

Alicia Caleshttp://blogs.msdn.com/admin/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxKick off meeting for new .NET user group in Santa Barbara, CA - October 12th!http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bwong_ms/archive/2005/09/27/474695.aspx2005-09-28T05:26:00Z2005-09-28T05:26:00Z
Developers know that user groups are a great way to learn more about .NET, network with your local peers and even reach out to the broader community of developer notables from afar. Now it's time for Santa Barbara to join in the action along with all the other active .NET user groups in Southern California.

The provisional steering committee for the user group has secured an interim meeting place - the Planning Commission hearing room on the first floor of the County of Santa Barbara Administration Building (pictured below), 105 East Anapamu Street, Santa Barbara (at Anacapa).

The user group will kick off its first meeting - October 12th at 6:30pm with a presentation by Microsoft's Bernard Wong on the security, membership and personalization infrastructure that will be provided in the forthcoming ASP.NET 2.0 technologies. Pizza and soda will be provided and there will be a raffle for lots of prizes at the conclusion of the evening. Come and join the fun!

You can find out additional information at the temporary Web site of the group.

As you have likely heard already, the grand launch for Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 will be on November 7th and I can't think of a better opportunity to immerse yourself in education on these two massive product sets than the Developer Connections conferences running that same week at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. This is actually four separate conferences in one (covering Visual Studio, ASP.NET, SQL Server and a special C++ commemorative edition) and a single registration gains you access to any breakout session in any of the individual conferences.

As a special bonus, all attendees will receive Visual Studio 2005 Professional and SQL Server Standard Edition (with one client access license) since this edition of the conference coincides with the launch. The speaker list is absolutely stellar this time around with notable personalities like Charles Petzold, Bjarne Stroustrup, Stan Lippman and more.

I was extremely fortunate again to be asked to organize together the entire Fundamentals track of the Visual Studio Connections conference - a five day agenda (including pre-conference and post-conference workshops) especially arranged for developers who are just getting started with the .NET environment now. A couple of my fellow MSDN Events presenters (namely Geoff Snowman and Joe Stagner) and myself will be delivering several of these sessions.

OK, this is the special exclusive sweetener for those of you who haven't yet registered, if you register using the discount code of B101, you will receive a $100 discount off the regular conference rate.

For those of you who attended my Webcast this morning on developing for the Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition from Visual Studio 2005, you can now download the sample code and compiled solution.

There were no slides, just a brief introduction to the x64 platform essentials at the beginning. The Webcast demonstrations were drawn in part from the Hands-on Lab at TechEd 2005 that I put together on x64 programming (which were drawn in turn from the Intel Route 64 roadshow). Visual Studio 2005 beta 2 and a computer running Windows XP Professional x64 Edition are also required.

Have fun with the samples - someone suggested running the x64 specific release on the regular 32-bit Windows XP to see if there would be a sensible exception message... Any bets on this one?

OK, I've been soliciting for interested parties in the SoCal edition of the MSDN Flash newsletter since almost forever, it's finally time to get things started for Santa Barbara's very own .NET user group now that Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 launch are right around the corner.

We're going to hold a planning meeting for the new user group tomorrow night at Chad's restaurant (see address and map below) in downtown Santa Barbara following my MSDN Event free developer seminar (but attendance at my seminar in the afternoon isn't required).

We can all meet up at Chad's restaurant beginning at 6pm. There's no formal agenda; in fact, no formality at all. We'll just get everyone introduced and then see what we can organize together for the user group over appetizers and non-alcoholic beverages (on Microsoft's dime). The food there is pretty darn good judging from what I ate there last time. Of course, if there are other topics that you would like to discuss in public, as I wrote previously, there is no set agenda. See you there!

Alicia Caleshttp://blogs.msdn.com/admin/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxFree two-day Visual Studio 2005 workshops coming to Phoenix and Las Vegas!http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bwong_ms/archive/2005/08/07/448788.aspx2005-08-07T19:50:00Z2005-08-07T19:50:00Z
OK, let's see if this blog posting can successfully avoid inciting the guardian watch-dogs of Windows Vista intellectual property... I really still don't know what was so objectionable in my last posting, especially in this new era of supposed transparency. Anyway, here goes!

How would you like to attend a free two-day, instructor-led workshop offering a focused environment within which to learn and experience the new features and capabilities of the forthcoming Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2005?

As loyal readers of this blog, I'm passing on invitations to these workshops intended for experienced, professional software developers who are already skilled in building software using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET, even those employed by independent software vendors or those who work on corporate enterprise development teams. Attendance is strictly limited. Please do not register unless you are sure you can commit the two full days to attend the entire workshop.

The workshops will be held from 9:00am to 5:00pm. In Phoenix, the workshop will be held at the local Microsoft office on August 25th and 26th. Registration is open now at http://www.microsofttraining.com/devonsites - just use 304001 for the class/invitation identifier.

The workshop in Las Vegas on August 30th and 31st looks to be a much better bet (pardon the pun). It will be held at the loverly and talented Venetian Resort Hotel Casino, right on the strip. Of course, I do have to caution you that there might be lots of games of chance conveniently close at hand so be careful you don't get too distracted away from the workshop by all the lights, bells and shouting...

Register for the Las Vegas workshop at the same Web site, http://www.microsofttraining.com/devonsites, but use 304037 for the class/invitation identifier instead.

Bon chance!

So much for transparency... I guess it only applies to whatever is OK for you to know.

Alicia Caleshttp://blogs.msdn.com/admin/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxPDC 2005 conference hotels - my personal opinions and experienceshttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/bwong_ms/archive/2005/07/04/435612.aspx2005-07-05T09:46:00Z2005-07-05T09:46:00Z
The PDC 2005 conference is returning to the Los Angeles Convention Center between September 11th and 16th.

While I've only lived in Los Angeles (county) a short while, I have either stayed at or temporarily visited most of the downtown Los Angeles hotels that have rooms blocked off for conference attendees. I thought I'd jot down some of my impressions of these establishments for you to take into consideration before making your own final selection.

Standard Downton - this is the funky, designer 'party' hotel complete with rooftop bar/pool for the D&G crowd. i expect this will again be where the more reckless of the product teams will be staying/spending their late evenings into the wee hours. at the last PDC, this was also where the models at the coincidental fashion show stayed (or so i was told).
Sheraton Downtown - formerly the Hyatt regency, your typical upscale business hotel
Westin Bonaventure - your typical upscale business hotel - if there's an earthquake in the middle of the night, you may get a good shake in your room...
Wilshire Grand - your typical upscale business hotel but if you are parking a car here, you may find the valet service can take a very long time during peak hours
Figueroa Hotel - this is the ticket if you hate staying at chain hotels. very close to the convention center (the number of blocks listed on the PDC Web site can be misleading - they are very long blocks!), car parking in the back, adds a touch of local flavor and charm
Omni Los Angeles - nice lobby area but i didn't like staying at this hotel much, something about the rooms and their decor really put me off during my stay
Millennium Biltmore - the grand classic belle dame of downtown, very impressive lobby and facilities (for your basic socialite weddings) but the standard rooms are small and musty - you may find that you are sharing it with uninvited guests of the multi-legged kind too...
New Otani Hotel & Garden - it's kind of out of the way but for those on a budget... i've managed to avoid staying here previously. the hotel may be decent inside (i've heard it is) but i've passed by it several times in a conference shuttle bus (and been extremely grateful that the bus didn't break down nearby). if you do stay here, don't even think about taking a short stroll at night (unless you like tempting fate)... footnote for cineastes (and obsessive U2 minutiae devotees), on the bus ride over, you can catch a glimpse of the titular Million Dollar Hotel from the Wim Wenders film!

Of course, the real party hardy crowd will be those spending their after hours over in West Hollywood and staying at the most (in)famous hotels - the Chateau Marmont, Sunset Marquis, Mondrian, Standard, Argyle, (Riot) Hyatt (aka the Rock 'n' Roll Hotel), etc.!

I hope you find these personal observations useful - of course, your mileage (and experiences) may vary...

Alicia Caleshttp://blogs.msdn.com/admin/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxDownload location for the sample code from my Webcastshttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/bwong_ms/archive/2005/06/03/424814.aspx2005-06-03T18:33:00Z2005-06-03T18:33:00Z
For those of you who attended my Webcast yesterday and wanted to download the sample application from it, you can now find this via http://www.msdn.tv/BernardWong. Many thanks to MaximumASP.NET for hosting this site (it's only been a few hours now but everything has been smooth sailing) and the Digital Black Belt guy, Joe Stagner, for arranging this.

In the future, I'll be using this site to distribute the downloads of slides, code samples, etc., from my conference, user group, Webcast and other presentations, unless there already is an established publication vehicle.

If you're wondering why I publish and maintain listings of developer resources for Southern California and the Southwest on www.microsoft.com (what we call MSCOM) but I'm not putting these downloads into the Microsoft Download Center, it's because the publishing application (the thoroughly bewildering Download Management Tool) and the process to do so are altogether too arduous and complex for me and my mythical co-signatories to cope with.

I'm a big believer in utilizing established systems and not re-inventing the wheel. Yes, the Download Center is supposedly searchable, has plenty of bandwidth, uptime in spades and you reliably know where your download is coming from. All of these are admirable qualities but they don't count for much if the downloads don't ever make it there in the first place.

Theoretically, at some point down the line, the sheer number of downloads available on the new site will need to be properly indexed and searchable, the ISP will balk at all the bandwidth we're consuming around the clock, and myriad other scalability issues will arise that need to be dealt with but let's burn those bridges when we reach them. This simple, new site for you to get your downloads will work just fine until then. Happy downloading!

Alicia Caleshttp://blogs.msdn.com/admin/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxThe official manufactured Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 disk setshttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/bwong_ms/archive/2005/05/05/414880.aspx2005-05-05T13:52:00Z2005-05-05T13:52:00Z
I received my custom advance order of six hundred of these - one for each attendee of the SoCal .NET Technical Summit coming up this Saturday in Long Beach, CA. If you're like me and lack the patience (and phat pipes) to download several Gigabytes of installation files, you can pick up your very own official Beta 2 disk set this Saturday and also catch great .NET sessions presented by some of the industry's finest speakers for just $99! I blogged about this prestigious event previously but didn't mention the Beta 2 disk sets then (I wasn't sure at the time that I would actually be able to get them in time).

So what do you get in the officially manufactured Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2 disk sets?

Everything comes inside of a black colored hard plastic case similar to what DVDs and Playstation 2 games ship in. The printed slip cover is primarily dark blue. On the front are the typical Visual Studio branding imagery, the MS logo and the title "Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2". On the back are the minimum system requirements (600MHz processor, Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or Windows Server 2003 operating system, 256MB RAM, 2 GB available hard-disk space, DVD-ROM, etc.), handy URLs, fine print and the Part No. X11-22003.

Inside, there is a printed insert with a Greetings! notice from Soma and three disks held in place by a dual-clasp plastic mechanism of a kind that I haven't seen previously. The three disks are a DVD-ROM (though it isn't labelled as such) of Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite Beta 2 (3.75 GB, includes Visual Studio 2005), a DVD-ROM (labelled with the DVD-ROM logo) of SQL Server 2005 Developer Editon Community Technology Preview (847MB, labelled 32-bit version only and 03/05 though it's reputedly and dated the April edition) and lastly, a CD-ROM of Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation Server Beta 2 (273 MB, includes Team Foundation Client).

Now that I've whetted your appetite, don't forget you can walk away with your very own Beta 2 disk set in hand on Saturday. It's not too late to register for just $99! We'll see you there...

Alicia Caleshttp://blogs.msdn.com/admin/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxExclusive discount - save $500 at VSLive! Las Vegas, May 8-11http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bwong_ms/archive/2005/04/20/410212.aspx2005-04-21T00:15:00Z2005-04-21T00:15:00Z
Yup, here's another exclusive developer conference discount offer for readers of this blog.

If you've been sitting on the fence about going to VSLive! Las Vegas, let me sweeten the pot for you... How about a $500 discount off the standard rate of $1,695 for the 4-day, all-inclusive Gold Passport? This special, exclusive discount is even better than the Early Bird price that was previously offered! All you have to do to qualify for the discount is register (discount is only available to new registrants) either online or by calling (800) 848-5523 and then using VSLBW for the priority code.

If you're not familiar with VSLive!, this is the developer conference formerly known as VBITS that is presented in cities all around the world by Fawcette Technical Publications, publishers of Visual Studio Magazine (among others). There will be over 75 hours of presentations available from industry experts across two separate conferences - ASP Live! and SmartClient Live!

Lastly, there is a conference room rate of $169 available for conference attendees (single or double occupancy) at the all-suites Rio Hotel and Casino if booked before April 29th.

Wow - learn cool stuff, hang out in Vegas with my friends talking .NET and save money too - wish I could be there!

Alicia Caleshttp://blogs.msdn.com/admin/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxIncredible $900 discount for upcoming Software Security Summit conferencehttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/bwong_ms/archive/2005/04/04/405384.aspx2005-04-04T14:39:00Z2005-04-04T14:39:00Z
If software security is your thing, Software Development Times (SDTimes) is putting together an entire conference just for you! It runs from April 12th to 14th in La Jolla, California (a rather fashionable suburb just north of San Diego which translates you're looking for an excuse . The Software Security Summit conference has a unique format consisting of full-day tutorials, followed by two days of in-depth sessions and the agenda is both multi-platform and multi-vendor. The conference faculty includes the likes of the renowned Allen Holub(!), my former colleague (and co-author of Writing Secure Code which is highly recommended, by the way) David LeBlanc (if you get a chance, ask him what he learned about the subject of security from his work experiences while living in Las Vegas...) and my current colleague Joe Stagner (where would I even start feeding you with questions to ask him?).

So what's the downside? There's always a downside and for conferences with quality speakers at nice facilities (this one is at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla...), the downside is usually the not so inconsequential hit on the pocketbook. In this regard, the Software Security Summit isn't substantially different - the full conference registration price is $1,395!

If you're like me and think this conference might be worth checking out, I've got an awesome deal to share with you. What do you say to a $900 discount off the full conference registration price? That's a saving of almost two-thirds!

All you have to do is go to the usual registration page and then use the special secret handshake SoCal user group discount code of SDUG to keep nine spare Franklins in your own pocket...

While you're at it, show your support for SoCal user groups by registering for the upcoming SoCal .NET Technical Summit on Saturday, May 7th.

See you there (both events)!

Alicia Caleshttp://blogs.msdn.com/admin/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxAnnouncing Southern California's own local developer conference!http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bwong_ms/archive/2005/04/02/404923.aspx2005-04-03T02:33:00Z2005-04-03T02:33:00Z
Registration is now open for the inaugural edition of the SoCal .NET Technical Summit to be held Saturday, May 7th.

For the past few months, I've been working with the various .NET user groups in SoCal to organize this one day developer conference and we've planned an event that you won't want to miss out on!

Check out the roster of all-star speakers that we've put together to share their deep knowledge of ASP.NET Web applications, business objects and architecture, smart client (Windows Forms) applications, the .NET Framework and related technologies:

 Rockford Lhotka - author, Microsoft Regional Director, MVP
 Dan Appleman - author, MVP
 Michele Leroux Bustamante - Microsoft Regional Director
 Tim Huckaby - Microsoft Regional Director
 Ted Pattison (tentative) - author, MVP
 Mickey Williams - author, MVP
 Chris Rolon - consultant
 Mark Miller - creator of CodeRush
 Scott Mitchell - author, MVP
 Daniel Egan - author
 Scott Cate - MVP, ASP.NET Insider
 Scott Hutchison - MCSD

I just spoke at the Developer Connections conferences in Orlando with six of these exact same speakers but instead of paying well over a thousand dollars for conference registration plus airfare, hotel and other travel expenses, you'll be able to learn from this esteemed line-up of industry experts that will be assembling together almost in your own backyard for an incredibly low registration price as little as $79 (early bird price before April 15th)!

The conference will be held at the Long Beach Airport Marriott and we're even working on some kind of arrangement for shared bus transportation from San Diego to the conference.

See you there!

Alicia Caleshttp://blogs.msdn.com/admin/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxSQL Server Guru secret masterclass sessions in Los Angeles and Orange County this Thursdayhttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/bwong_ms/archive/2005/02/15/373967.aspx2005-02-16T03:18:00Z2005-02-16T03:18:00Z
Later this week, Ken Henderson, author of the Guru's Guide to SQL Server series of books is coming to Los Angeles.

As I blogged previously last week, Ken will be presenting at the L.A. SQL Server Professionals Group meeting on Thursday night and then at a special full-day workshop on Saturday (register at the special rate of just $99). At both of these events, Ken's presentations will be augmented with those by Paul Nielsen, author of the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Bible.

Now, here comes the secret part - what I didn't write about is that I also arranged with Ken to present an even more special masterclass session discussing his personal top diagnostic checklist when he gets called onsite by major SQL Server customers. Yes, that's right, a ninety minute masterclass in person with the SQL Server Guru, Microsoft Senior Escalation Engineer and author of the PSSDiag tool. This will be an unrivalled opportunity to hone your SQL Server diagnostic troubleshooting and optimization skills. Best of all, there's no charge for this session but there is a very big catch, you had to be on my highly exclusive, double secret probabation invitation list...

If you are one of those people that hate finding out afterward about secret events that you didn't get invited to, this is the part where you get a chance to participate in this secret masterclass because I'm going to offer a limited number of invitations to readers of this blog as a token of my appreciation!

So, if you are interested and available to attend this session in L.A. County on Thursday morning (that's February 17th to be specific) or Orange County later that afternoon, just send your individual request by e-mail to socaldev, stating which session you would like to come to. I'll reply with the details about the location and time on a first come, first served basis until we run out of room to accept any more attendees.

Alicia Caleshttp://blogs.msdn.com/admin/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxTucson area .NET developers! First meeting of new user group coming February 22nd.http://blogs.msdn.com/b/bwong_ms/archive/2005/02/13/372104.aspx2005-02-14T04:15:00Z2005-02-14T04:15:00Z
We know there is a lot of pent-up demand for a .NET developer group in Tucson. We even tried to get one off the ground last fall - apologies to those of you who tried to get to it but ended up in the wrong place...

This time around, we have a Tucson local spearheading operations. Gordon Bennett of Web Data Corporation has been making all of the arrangements, generating all the buzz and creating the group Web site at www.tucsondevelopers.net.

The first meeting will be held the evening of February 22nd, following my free afternoon seminar at the Radisson Hotel City Center Tucson. That will make it an especially long day and night for me since I actually have to start our seminar event at 7:15am! Good thing I'm not driving back to Phoenix after the meeting...

Apart from time devoted to organizational setup, ASP.NET MVP and ASP.NET Insider Scott Cate, will be driving in from Phoenix to present on the topic of migrating ASP (classic) Web applications up to ASP.NET. Following him, I will provide a brief demonstration of some of the new capabilities that you can look forward to in ASP.NET 2.0.

There will be pizza, soda, door prizes, lots of conversation and fun! See the Web site for location and start time details. Please RSVP on the Registration page so we have an idea how many people are coming. Check with Gordon if you would like to help with the operation of the group.

If you would like to find out about developer resources in the southwest, check out my Developer Community Web site or subscribe to the local MSDN Flash e-mail newsletter.

Hope to see you there!

On Saturday, February 19th, the Los Angeles SQL Server Professionals Group will host a special full-day workshop at UCLA featuring Ken Henderson, Microsoft Senior Escalation Engineer and author of the Guru's Guide to SQL Server series of books, and Paul Nielsen, author of the Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Bible. This will be an unique opportunity to learn deep content directly from these exceptional SQL Server experts.

Registration for this workshop is normally $149 and it will be worth every penny of this price but if you're reading this blog post, you won't have to pay this much...

Yes, that's right, if you register now, attendance at this one of a kind workshop can be yours at the bargain basement of just $99! But you must act now!! At this cut-rate price, this offer won't last indefinitely.

With apologies to all the late night infomercial hucksters who have kept me company throught the wee hours over the years...

On a more serious note, I'm really looking forward to this workshop. I'll also be giving a brief overview of some of the new developer features that will be coming in SQL Server 2005 and hosting a post-workshop social. I hope to see you there!

This will be of interest for all you developers in Southern California (or thinking about visiting here).

There is a new Developer Community Web site for Southern California available now on microsoft.com

Here, you will be able to find an events calendar of what is going on locally (or bigger things further abroad), lists of user groups, lists of training organizations and the activities of the local developer community champion (um, that would be me).

If you have something of local SoCal developer interest that you would like considered for addition to this Web site, just pop me an e-mail message.

I've been considering adding a listing of local Southern California .NET developer consulting firms - again, purely for informational purposes, not intended as endorsements or recommendations. Any thoughts on this?

Any other feedback (other than I've been pretty remiss with my blogging efforts), let me know here...

Woo-hoo! Thanks to Pima Community College, we have a location for the inaugural meeting. This will be held at Pima Community College, 4905 E. Broadway Blvd., Building C, Room 105 from 6:30-9:00pm on Tuesday, October 26th.

For this first meeting, I'm going to demonstrate the new Membership and Personalization features coming in ASP.NET 2.0 and performance optimization with ASP.NET 1.1. These are two of the subjects that we're currently touring in our MSDN Events seminars seminars which won't otherwise be making a stop in Tucson (the nearest stop is Phoenix on Thursday afternoon) so you'll at least have this opportunity to see most of the content.

We'll also have pizza and soda and lots of door prizes available too so cancel whatever other plans you may have and join us!

To RSVP or receive notices via e-mail about the group, send us a message at firstname.lastname@example.com. Otherwise, we'll see you there.

Alicia Caleshttp://blogs.msdn.com/admin/ProfileUrlRedirect.ashxProgramming languages with .NET implementationshttp://blogs.msdn.com/b/bwong_ms/archive/2004/10/16/243474.aspx2004-10-17T02:41:00Z2004-10-17T02:41:00Z
Yesterday, an inquiry came up internally over e-mail about whether a .NET implementation of the PL/I language existed.

This caught my eye because PL/I was the first language that I encountered on a mainframe (at the University of Toronto, from whom I have a piece of paper ascribing that my "higher learning" took place there - occasionally, possibly, somewhat). I wasn't particularly fond of PL/I but it was my first mainframe language. Actually, to be entirely accurate, it was really SP/k - a series of PL/I subsets (with k cleverly iterating from 1 through 8) that was devised for teaching purposes by some of the local professors who were also subsequently responsible for the Concurrent Euclid, Turing and other languages.

It seems that PL/I, one of the third-generation procedural languages, is still going strong after almost four decades. From its IBM origins, it has spread to a good number of platforms and operating systems. It has also won over its adherents, see this blow-by-blow comparison against the C language from one of the staff at the Computing Center of the University of Munster.

Back to .NET, it seems there is a research group working on such a PL/I implementation which they have named PL/IL for Programming Language - Intermediate Language. Their plans seem pretty ambitious too - object oriented extensions, Mono CLR support, .NET Framework class support, reflection, structured exception handling, etc., even LISP extensions.

So I was having dinner last night with my friend, esteemed author and software legend, Rocky Lhotka (perhaps I should make that self-proclaimed software legend as I don't actually see his name in lights on the Software Legends Web site...) The topic of computer languages came up as he has been kicking around the idea for a while now of creating a Logo-like language. His purpose behind this is ostensibly to teach programming to his young son but possibly as a project for inclusion in a book that we are collaborating upon together. I'm not sure how many developers in the general population ever aspire to create their own computer language though - notwithstanding Apress having just published a book entitled Build Your Own .NET Language and Compiler...

Rocky mentioned that a colleague of his at Magenic maintains a Web site with listings of .NET language implementations from APL to Boo to Cobol to F# to Lisp (hurray, it's a personal favorite language of mine for its idiosyncracies and cool, fun quotient) to Logo to Pascal, Prolog, Python, RPG and more.

I don't know about you but I'm just not convinced that there is a purposeful, pragmatic need for everyone to dream up their own private, boutique computer programming language. Maybe I'm revealing too much of my healthy personal cynicism when it comes to academia but aren't there already enough computer science faculty with excessive free time on their hands and sufficient hubris to think that they can come up with a better mousetrap than all the other research institutions all around the world?

This isn't because I have a favorite pet language to champion as the penultimate general purpose programming language, as Rocky initially presumed. I just think there is plentiful choice among programming languages already existing in the world. These have been time and experience tested and successfully proven their merit on countless occasions.

My vote says just pick one (or maybe a couple, if you really have ADD), understand them well and get on with the programming task at hand. Aren't the real challenges we face developing each application interesting enough already? Let's not re-invent the wheel by imagining some hypothetical need for yet another computer language we don't have time for (or at least leave it to the academics who do)...

"Russell Hoban's 'Riddley Walker' is that rare novel that can be loved by doomster geeks and literary readers alike. It's narrated in a language burnt to its rudiments by nuclear holocaust and revived into new forms by survivors in England who live as hunters, and who believe in a past that's half history, half myth." -- Michael Helm, Nuvo "Off the Shelf", Summer 2008
About the Author
Russell Hoban was born in 1925 in Lansdale, Pennsylvania. He is the author of numerous children's books, including The Mouse and His Child. Other adult novels include The Lion of Boaz-Jachin and Jachin-Boaz, Kleinzeit, Turtle Diary, and Pilgermann.

PTIC Launches US-Philippines Business Support & ITDelivery Council in Silicon Valley
The Philippine Trade and Investment Center (PTIC) in Silicon Valley, the commercial section of the Philippine Consulate General in San Francisco, announced the inception of the US-Philippines Business Support and IT Delivery Council in Silicon Valley
These Philippine-homegrown organizations are at the forefront of the software and product development, information technology (IT), business and knowledge process delivery, and electronics manufacturing industries.
PTIC Trade Commissioner Michael Ignacio said that by joining forces, the companies intend to bolster business development initiatives and build more partnerships starting in the San Francisco Bay Area. PTIC has plans to institutionalize the council and also expects to build market presence ultimately in the entire US and Canada.
"We want to foster collaboration and cross-pollination amongst the council members, while enabling competitive differentiation,"
"There's no better time than now to launch this," announced Philippine Consul General Marciano Paynor. "This is a train ride that we should not miss. With the right companies, we can build a microcosm that will drive the Philippines in the limelight of the global economic scene."
The global offshore software and product development, business process support, and electronic contract manufacturing services markets are expected to hit at least US $1 trillion in 2018. In addition, technology analyst firm Gartner recently predicted that by 2014, IT hiring in major Western markets will come predominantly from Asian-headquartered companies.
Consul General Paynor added, "The council will have the support of the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Department of Trade and Industry and the Department of Tourism, all Philippine government agencies with US Pacific Northwest representation based in the San Francisco Bay Area. We look forward to bringing to work our extensive network and breadth of experience to all of the member companies."
The US-Philippines Business and Information Technology Delivery Council will have a formal launch on November 13, Tuesday at 447 Sutter Street, 5th Floor Social Hall, San Francisco, CA 94108. Companies interested to learn more about working with these companies are invited to attend the launch and executive briefing, which will feature customer success stories on global delivery and shared services.

Obama on Single-Payer
I think the health care bill the President is moving forward with is an excellent one, but I did find these remarks yesterday about single-payer health insurance somewhat annoying:
On one end of the spectrum, there are some who've suggested scrapping our system of private insurance and replacing it with a government-run health care system. And though many other countries have such a system, in America it would be neither practical nor realistic.
On the other end of the spectrum, there are those, and this includes most Republicans in Congress, who believe the answer is to loosen regulations on the insurance industry — whether it's state consumer protections or minimum standards for the kind of insurance they can sell. The argument is, is that that will somehow lower costs. I disagree with that approach. I'm concerned that this would only give the insurance industry even freer rein to raise premiums and deny care.
So first off, I get it, politics is politics blah blah I understand.
That said, the positive equivalence between single-payer advocates and deregulation advocates rankles. What's more, the issue here is government-run health insurance not total government control of health care. On top of that, would it really have killed the President to do a little public education and note that it's not just "many other countries" that have such a system—American senior citizens have it too. Medicare for All is clearly not "practical" as a legislative matter, but a big part of the reason that it's not practical is that high-profile political figures have spent the past 20 years letting the right evade the arguments. If government-run health insurance is good enough for retirees (and NHS-style government-run health care is good enough for veterans) then why isn't it good enough for everyone else?
And is it really impractical? Sure, you couldn't sweep the whole current system away overnight, but transition via Obamacare + a robust public option is very practical. That's why Barack Obama endorsed it as a candidate.

On our arrival at Suvarbhumi Airport in Bangkok we were met by an hotel representative immediately outside the baggage check area who escorted us to a gleaming BMW waiting at the curb.
The driver assisted us into the car while their other representative loaded our luggage in the boot.
Before moving off the driver offered us chilled drinking water & a cool towel. Now we were ready to take on the Bangkok traffic.
On arrival at The Peninsula we were welcomed by several members of staff & whisked up to our suite (we had been upgraded from a Deluxe King room to a Deluxe Suite) on the 21st floor where we went through the hotel check-in procedures.
After freshening up we decided to head out do do some exploring on the Skytrain. We headed out the river side of the hotel to their private jetty on the river. Here the security man saluted me & asked our destination. Upon learning we were going to the BTS station he radioed for one of the hotel riverboats to pick us up. The courtesy river boats are a fabulous service. The Peninsula has three boats.
Over at Saphin Taksin there is a priority pier for hotel river boats, Very Nice!
Later, on our return from shopping we went to catch the river boat back. On boarding the boat the boat man bid us "Welcome Home". This was a really nice touch.
The breakfast buffet is truly spectacular. Anything you want they will endeavour to provide.
The hotel was finished about 1998 and for a fitout that is approaching 15 years old the hotel is in remarkably excellent condition.
The hotel is designed so that every guest room has a river view. Some views are better than others, our suite had 200 degree views of the river, Incredible!
After traipsing around Bangkok all day we would put our shoes in a cupboard each evening where they would be cleaned & shined by the room attendant overnight.
While staying at The Peninsula we experienced an exceptional level of service.
Although the rooms are on the more expensive side I believe they are still very good value.
I highly recommend The Peninsula as a great place to stay while in Bangkok.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Developed as one of the finest hotel properties in Bangkok, its riverside location inspired the wave- shaped design, capitalising on the uninterrupted panoramic views from every room and adding a distinctive architectural statement to the Bangkok skyline. The Peninsula Bangkok offers commanding city views, luxurious comfort, sophisticated facilities, extraordinary dining options and the legendary Peninsula service. ... more less

Crimson Dragon Demo Hits Japanese XBL, Gets Removed, Someone Captures Footage
Written Wednesday, January 02, 2013 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
A demo of Panzer Dragoon's spiritual successor, Crimson Dragon emerged on the Japanese Xbox Live Marketplace earlier today before promptly being removed. But not before someone managed to capture some gameplay footage featuring soaring dragons weaving through the clouds and narrow canyons.
Previously known as Project Draco, Dan previewed Crimson Dragon way back in September 2011, when the game carried a tentative '2012' release date. Presumably the game will now be releasing on the Xbox Live Arcade sometime this year.
Check out the gameplay footage below before it's pulled, then keep your fingers crossed for the release of the Kinect-controlled Crimson Dragon on XBLA soon.
