Keep On Keeping On |
Reviewer: Adam Rock
Honestly, there probably isn't too much to say other than these guys are just an all around stellar band with absolutely thoughtful lyrics that quickly get to the heart in almost every song. They know how to tone it up and get a good raw crunchy grind going and then they can get quite colorful riffs. And even after that, they'll still bring it down just a tad more to get to the acoustic songs. Great stuff, keep pounding it away.
lifehouse band is the best |

Lifehouse Rocks |
Alisa Karter
I love Lifehouse. They rock. I've been listening to them over the past decade and beyone. Yes I know and respect that JAson Wade is married, but he was my fantasy teenage dream, my heartthrob, like Nick Carter used to be, they look alike. JaosnWade is hot, and even with his new albums he still rocks andhis new bleached-blonde California surfer boy look he still looks cool. I love their music and I can relate to itr. My parents divorced in my teens too, so Jasona nd me have alot in common. And a divorce is a very big iompact on any teens life. I write poems and songs about my parents divorce and play the guitar. Eventhough he is a ,male, he is emotionally my role model, in songwriting, lyrics, personality, and music playing. A very good and positive influence he is. HE isn't a drunk or a druggie like many other celebrities out there like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton (met them both) Mr. Wade doesn't seem to snobb either or follow hollywood trends. He's intellegent and likes to be himself. HE makes the band, as band memebers kept changing throughout the years of the decade from 2000-now I can believe they still survived like the chilllie peppers and matchbox20. No comparison though. And I see no comparison to Lifehouse and Pearl Jam, but I do see a comparison to Creed and Lifehouise though, rain drenching lyrics, emotional (emo)but not gothic or/and punk. Lifehouse inspires me, so does Alicia Keys, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Backstreet Boys, Anastacia, Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Cher, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Shania TWain, Avril Lavigne, Taylor Swiftm Miley Cyrus and more. I'm not an obsessive Lifehouse fan, but I do hear their music on the radio everyday a they ar so popular. They are like a boy band, and a rock band. Their rock/pop tempo makes me dance in my soul, because I'm too shy and scare dto dancein public, infact I can't dance, though I can sing. Jason is so cool, he doesn't dance either. The ghuitar makes him even cooler, aqctually ice cold, no matter how he ages or how his looks changes for the good or the bad, I think the lyrics have great ettiquette and he gets his anger and emotions out on pen and paper in a healthy way. Since Hanging by A moment I heard in a car commercial - I think chevrley, I can compare to Americna Pie - by Don McLean, right away, I googled on AOL the osng and band, and I knew it would be an instant hit. When I firt heard it I thought it was the goo goo dools or third eyed blind, but no a new band that shall suyrvive the century. They will kepp making music my belief system tells me. Hanging by a moment, sick cycle carousel, halfway gone, fallin in are all one of my favorite songs. I like the rest, but those are my choices. Once I heard their music, and saw their music videos I knew they rocked and will rock our socks off, any Lifehouse haters or whoever disagreeese poo on you. Whoever agrees. Kudos 4 you. Plus Lifehouse beats Eminem, Katy Perry, Lady FGaGa, and omg erspecially JKustin biever who I hate more than anyone els ein the industry. Rihanna is cool. But I saw lifehouse live once in 2007in six flags while I saw Rihanna in 2006 in nothern star arena in six flags. Lifehouse sounds better live. They sound good on record too. They make the best of the videos. they don't have machines making their singing voices sound better and lip synching like Britney Spears and Jessica Simspon, no comparison whatsoever, whoever they are up against on the single top 40 charts, thneir music is a different planet from Britneys, were talking apples and oranges, and Pluto and mars. Lifehouse keep rocking on forever, I wish for you!!!!!!!!!!
~xoxo Alisa Karter xoxo~ rock on
awesome! |
I really love the songs of lifehouse... I first heard their song in my friend's house and since then really see to it that I will hear their songs everyday.. It is really inspiring to hear such kind of songs especially the EVERYTHING, it leads me realizing that I am lucky to have God with me. Thanks to the lifehouse...
Beautiful people, brilliant minds |
Reviewer: Jamie
For as long as i can remember i have always liked Lifehouse's songs. There was never one i didn't like, or one that i didn't care for any less strongly then "i looovvee it!" I never really put it together how much i liked them until my friend ponited out one day "gosh, all you listen to is Lifehouse, you're obsessed!" i had never bought an album, never expressed interest in them outside of the songs i heard on the radio, all i knew was that i liked them. This summer i went their concert in Calgary, i sat 5 hours infront of the baracade for the best seat in the house. While everyone sang along to every song i just stood there - clueless as i soaked it all in, how they are such all around an amazing band, and that ever song was something i would never ever forget as long as i lived. The very next day i went out and bought all their albums and i haven't looked back since. Thank god for putting a little piece of Heaven on earth in the form of lyrics that come from the most brilliant of minds, i owe it all to you Jason Wade...
heaven sent |
Donna Vaden
I searched the internet to find out who the artist was that was used in the allstate commercial just because it sounded so beautiful. After a while I found it and more. After hearing the song "Everything" I thouhgt this must be a band that is on a mission to spread God's love. Then after reading the bio I realized maybe not. Maybe it is just music that could be interpreted that way. But I was a little disappointed because i hoped it was rooted in a love for Christ. I truly believe these words, this music is heaven sent and this band won't truly be blessed until they ralize and accept it and hopefully accept the Lord if they have not. For whatever it's worth, I choose to listen to this music and think of God's everlasting love for me and that I need nothing but to be loved by my heavenly father, and the rest of my life falls into place,
i was just wondering |
I was ust wondering you guys could tour into albany NY. To the times union center. Iwould be the first to get a front row ticktet. Janson you are my idol. I wish i could meet you.Two songs that ive heard that changed my life is sick cycle carousel. That changed my life when my mom gave up all rights i kept on listening and eventually stopped crying.

Reviewer: roleth

dream |
i haven't really had the "rough times" that jason had, but, i got into a lot of fights in junior high. the girls at the school i went to were really mean, vindictive people. the way i made myself feel better was to work out, so, i would put my lifehouse cd in my portable cd player and go for a good long jog. their band was the only one that i could personally relate to, and it would make me feel better.
thank you guys so mush, i'm now 20, and doing great...you guys go me through a lot.
Lifehouse |
Reviewer: Anonymous
Lifehouse are one of my favourite bands. They are so good. The song "everything" still gives me shivers when I listen to it. My favourites are Everything and Take me away. <3
what I've been thinking... |
Reviewer: megan
I first heard of Lifehouse in reference to their song "Everything", as a worship song. I assumed then most of their songs were inspired by God, and never has so many songs by one artist spoken to what my personal relationship with God is like, and what I want to say to Him... and also other experiences that we all have in life.
All I Can Say Is: Thank God For Lifehouse |
Reviewer: Haylee
When I walked into my usual CD store, I was expecting to buy my usual Green Day or Good Charlotte CD, but I happened to find Lifehouse's "No Name Face" CD. That was about two years ago, and many things have happened since then. My grandfather passed away, I met my boyfriend, and my best friend and I had a major fight. Lifehouse has a song for celebration times, sad times, and times you just wanna have fun. Lifehouse helped me with so many emotions, and sometimes I would just lie on my bed and listen, letting the music "clean" myself. "No Name Face" is my most well-worn CD, and it will always be my favorite. Thank you Lifehouse!

Staff for sure, location was clutch and breakfast, yeah I want to stay Swimming pool would have been the only thing
Good hotel that is located downtown. Different from normal hotel, a mix of old with new. The location is great, everything is within walking distance, Tower City, the Q, Progressive Field and numerous bars and restaurants. Rooms are newly updated and the hotel itself is under renovation. Try to request a room across the arcade, you get an interesting walk through the top of the arcade as you find your room. Great hotel, with a cool, architecture location. The staff was perfect as well; doing anything to help. Currently under construction, but they are updating so I'm sure it will look great once they are done.

Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev. 2
The Accelero S1 Rev. 2 dramatically extends the compatibility to many of the latest graphic cards. It supports high-end to main stream graphic cards including the latest hot selling Radeon HD 3870, 3850 , GeForce 8800GTS (G92) and 8800GT.
The Accelero S1 Rev. 2 now comes with a new flexible mounting mechanism, multiple screw hole sets and modifications to the heatpipes enabling it to fit a wider range of leading graphic cards. As a result more gamers can benefit from adopting the Accelero S1 Rev. 2 which dramatically improves their gaming experience.
To provide passive cooling for high-end graphic cards, Accelero S1 Rev. 2 is a high performance passive cooler featuring 4 heatpipes connected with extra large surface area. It effectively removes a great deal of heat from the graphic cards keeping the components cool. Thanks to the elegant design, Accelero S1 Rev. 2 outperforms active cooling solutions. Accelero S1 Rev. 2 creates a true industry leading zero noise cooling solution for all enthusiast gamers.
Noiseless Cooling 4 Heat Pipes Special Heat Spreader for Voltage Regulator Cooling Memory Cooling High Reliability Low Weight 6 Years Manufacturer Warranty The cold air is drawn from outside to cool the fins directly:
The fins design optimize for air ventilation that enhance cooling performance: Accelero S1 Rev. 2 features 4 thick copper heatpipes which connect directly from the GPU core. The heatpipes with sintered powder wicks provide ultimate heat conductivity. Heat from the GPU is rapidly dissipated through 32 fins that extend beyond the height of the graphic card. Optimized fin design allows better air flow thus removing the heat more effectively. Together with the bundled RAM heat sinks and voltage regulator heat spreader, Accelero S1 Rev. 2 provides an all-round passive solution that achieves the best cooling performance.
Never compromised on noise Install and forget about it No moving parts means it is maintenance free. An extra pair of mounting clips provides extensive protection to the graphic card that prevents damage from improper handling. With the help of the new mounting design, Accelero S1 Rev. 2 is widely compatible with high end ATI and nVIDIA graphic cards.
Accelero S1 Rev. 2 can still be paired with the Turbo Module the twin fans add-on, which further increases the potential power of Accelero S1 Rev. 2 with enhanced cooling performance under extremely quiet operation. Turbo Module helps boost up the GPU and memory overclockability, squeezing more graphic performance than ever before.

Hi Alexander,
after randomly finding Milkthepigeon last week, the more I read the more I'm inspire and motivated to travel.
I've thought about travelling for a while now, but am struggling to find the true purpose of why I want to travel – past pure curiosity and adventure!One thing I have considered is to travel via WWOOF – Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms.
Through my research the seems to hold various benefits; cheap, environmentally friendly, includes physical work and you can pretty much visit most countries.
I'd like to ask what your views on WWOOF are – is it beneficial/ worth it?On a separate note, what are your views on inter-railing?
Hope to hear from you soon.

As I sit in my comfortable, climate-controlled graduate assistant office, I've spent the last 30 minutes scouring your blog for every bit of information possible. Stumbling upon your blog this morning was no mistake-I firmly believe that. And I think your experience, insight, wise-beyond-your-years approach will have more of an impact than you will ever know. So thank you in advance

Hey there Alexander,
I've been visiting your website every now and then when I'm out of inspiration for a better life, keep up the good work, it helps people like me.
I would like you to give you your opinion about my situation. I'm only 21 years old and got a lot of life to live, but there is a thing that is bothering me. I know where my passion is in life and made up my own sort of bucket list with stuff I want to do in my life. I target to becoming an artist who works a part-time job just for the social security of my house and pay for other obligations, and spend the other half of the week doing whatever I want. The thing is I'm doubting to follow another four-year-study. To me the course feels like becoming my ticket back into society when things may get out of hand. I'm fine with that idea but when I will finish that course I will be 26 and those years studying might seem a bit of a waste in the end. You know, they are like a few golden years of youth I will be wasting with putting my head in the books and having but little free time and money. What do you think, should I follow the course so I've got a sort of safety-net or go follow my passion right away? (I'm not that much of an artist yet but I'm working on it.)
Hope my problem is clear and sorry for the bad English I'm from the Netherlands!

I have been checking your blog for a while..N just wanted 2 say its really cool.
Your articles are really amazing : ) - May 15, 2013 at 10:18 pm
Hello Alex,
I found this blog recently and would like to thank you for your great insight about life. I am a college graduate (age 25) with a BIG question mark on her head. I am an artist and while in school all I did was travel around the country doing art. But now that I need some semblance of a "real job". I do what I love and my life is better for it. Now I want to do so much more, but I don't even know where to start. I love to travel but I want to one day travel outside of the country and do what I love.
Any advice for the artistic wanderlusters out there?
I wish there was a job where I can sip wine, do art, and do things to benefit people. Thanks!!

hi Alex,
Thank you thank you thank you
for sharing your clarity,
So spot on, so elegantly done,
And for all the free resources.
I am 41! I have been in crisis all my life an never known my purpose because i have so many, and the renaisance business is a genius touch. Now i feel relaxed and at ease and know i can find the way…

I think you have prob. been told you would reach a wider audience if you grew out of "milking the chicken". While I, myself, am a fan of sexual inferences , I think this is not the whole issue. Some people do not know what "milking the chicken" means. Others may be off-put – who might otherwise LOVE you. But most of all – it makes you less accessible with searches – like on Google – I only remembered the name of the website – but wrote it my own way – and found it so hard to find you – you were not on the first page – that I gave up. Thankfully I book marked your blog and downloaded your book – despite warnings from nanny spywatch – (don't fuck with me) – so that I could find you again. I think you are up and coming and want to follow you – but it is not to late to pick a different image – name…. it also is not particularly appealing to women… although we like the same treatment, I can not imagine naming my site "box cutter" or something like that… only wanting the best, for you. Namaste.

Hi Alex,
Just doing some work on my website which i recently opened, i was wondering if it was ok that i link you? I plan to do an "resource/inspiration" page with some sites and resources that have helped me along my never ending journey.
Your site obviously one of them that helped me to realize my dream of writing can happen, now as opposed to later or never.
Thanks! - September 27, 2013 at 1:57 pm

I think your website is fantastic. It's definitely given me some great ideas and motivated me to search inside myself for what it is that I need to be doing. I'm not even close to knowing yet, but this site and your ebook gave me the jumpstart I needed.
Even though I have no desire to be a world power or to do insane and amazing things with my life or be a "fucking bad-ass" as you frequently suggest, I find you to be very motivational and I think that there are a lot of people who greatly benefit from those sorts of posts.
Keep doing what you're doing. The world needs more people like us Lost-but-finding-our-way 20somethings - February 5, 2014 at 5:26 pm
hey alex,
Just stumbled upon this site today and i can't thank you enough. All i've read so far has been honest and insightful, i really appreciate it. The bit about how you can't find your passion by reading or thinking really caught my attention because it almost goes against all i've heard but deep down in my gut i've always agreed with this. I'm currently 20 and only in school because scholarships pay for it and the only reason i'm in the u.s. is to get a degree. if i drop out i may lose contact with my family but i wonder if that's the best option because i don't think all this pressure is healthy. When i ace a test i feel good for a moment then i realize how much time i've wasted avoiding my true passion, music. i want to start playing in blues bars and gather up a reputation for my music but i wonder if it's safer to stay in school, get job, pay bills, and then pursue this dream… i just know i'll always say 'what if" if i don't give my passion a chance - February 23, 2014 at 1:28 pm
Good afternoon!
As I was googling different majors, different careers, and eventually "What the hell should I do with my life" I came across your page and I could not be more glad that I did.
As expected, I'm a 20 year old college student who's lost in life. I was in all honors classes in high school, and it was always expected of me to go to college, which of course I did. I applied as an English and Secondary Education Major only to find out I have no interest in teaching (at least not in American Public Schools) and eventually, that I have a smaller interest in English than I originally thought. It was always what I was good at, so I declared it my major, but I don't feel challenged. In all of my courses I feel like we have to same conversations and nothing progresses or stretches me.
So this year I did some research, inwardly and outwardly, and found that what I enjoy most is talking to people, learning their stories, and learning about all the different ways in which we all interact with the world. So I changed my major to Anthropology, with a Philosophy and French minor, and while I already enjoy it more, I'm still struggling with continuous interest.
I think what my biggest problem is, is that I have passionate interesting in studying different disciplines, especially Anthropology, Philosophy, Religions, Gender Studies, and still Literature, but I do not have an interest in committing myself to one specific genre of study. I have a passionate desire to travel, but as expected again, I'm broke, and I have a passionate need to fulfill myself in a way. I'm not okay with settling down and living a quiet life. I know I don't need to change the world, but personally I do.
Recently I've been thinking of working more toward a Social Justice Journalism goal, but even that feels like a fleeting desire. I don't know what to do!
Thanks in advance for your advice,

Hi Alexander
I've just read your article on being stuck in life, and then
I looked at your site . I like very much how you write, it.s uplifting and honest. Personally I feel great about my decision to become a painter, and am happy doing it, but many people around me have been anything but supportive and because of the pressure of career, social values and money ( i'm not earning a steady income) , also backstabbing, I've nearly given it up a few times.
I suppose all you need is one person who believes and the occasional uplifting blog to keep going.
- May 14, 2014 at 1:43 am
Love your blog – found it very clear and genuine.
I wasn't able to find those "worksheets" to download you refer to in your E-Book
Does the link still work.
thank you

Thanks, as the later category 40 year old looking for meaning I found this to be a fantastic push in the right direction. I will keep you posted!
Good for you on being a positive influence in this often cynical world.

I'm going to one-up JJ as I'm 50 (the new 30 right?) and appreciate your wisdom and insight. You must be the 4th of the original wise men. Look forward to following you online.
Suzanne - November 11, 2014 at 12:47 am
Wow! I just read your e-book, milk the pigeon.com and it may have saved my life. You a wise guy for only being 2o something. I had the idea that I could go through my life waiting for the meaning of my life to somehow magically emerge on it's own. I now know this is not true. I have waited my entire life to hear what the meaning of my life is and I haven't got it yet.
I gave the power to something "out there" to figure it out for me and to let me know….somehow. But there is nothing out there and I can wait as long as I like and it will never "speak "to me.
I like the idea of your master class. Where is it being held?
- November 13, 2014 at 12:48 pm
You're an idiot for even posting this. You criticize people's choices using profanity and using language that devalues an individual's pursuit for something better. I did not browse your site due to how especially irritating it already is to read, so I have no idea what your educational background is. Did you attend graduate school and, now that you have completed what you set out to do, feel the desire to discourage others from the same accomplishment? It is easy to tell someone else to walk away from hard work when you yourself have already realized the benefits of following through. OR, have you NOT attended a graduate program and, to make up for your feelings of inadequacy, prefer to discourage others within the parameters of the cliché world that "misery loves company"?
Your "reasons" as to why someone should not attend higher education is not informative, it is emotionally driven by something that you are obviously lacking. An informative list is not critical and it does not use blanket statements to the degree that someone who is truly seeking answers is led to believe there is no other alternative. However, if your intention was to make your readers second guess their own choices and to make them question why they **ever** thought that they could actually excel in graduate school, even if they have "nothing else better to do", all while portraying a cynical and know-it-all image of yourself, then I would say you accomplished your goal. - December 4, 2014 at 10:06 pm

So you were incredibly right about a number of things.
I am still struggling with regret but I am now volunteering a some time to help with Jane Goodall's blog. As a result, I got a phone call from her. I was sure that this unpaid job would go to someone in an ivy league school.
So this is a step in the direction of helping fight to save the planet.
At 59 I am still regretting failing to take action on a number of things. I never traveled after graduating from school because I was too broke and unimaginative to figure out how. I never had kids because I was too broke and couldn't commit to one person. I never went into the Peace Corps because I couldn't make a dumb ass commitment. I hate this but maybe it's not too late

Hey Alex,
thank you so much for this website and the book. I know all this won't help me to get up my butt and finally DO something but you help me put my thoughts in the right direction. I'm glad that I'm not at this point zombieing all around my life and realise what I haven't done yet but I just have this feeling of not knowing what to do with my precious life. So actually I know what I want to do but there are the typical points of "no money, no time, how" etc.
So thanks for helping my making order and find a way. I'm so happy you share all these thougts freely.Best wishes

Hi! I'm in my 30s and is a latebloomer. It's just lately that I realized what I really want to do in life – what story I want for myself. This blog kind of put the right words to what I'm thinking and placed an emotion to it. Thanks! More power to your blog and hopefully I get to see you in one of your adventures.
- April 2, 2015 at 1:07 pm
ooo I love your musings on life, love, travel, and such. Inspiring stuff!
- April 24, 2015 at 6:23 pm
In the past 4 years, I've enrolled in 2 college programs, which I hated tremendously. My ultimate goal in life would be to help people who really need it. I took a year off school, not knowing what to do, so I worked. Life was exactly like a "rat race".
For awhile I've been thinking of volunteering in other countries, like South America, helping in orphanages. Money is a necessity for theses kinds of trips.
I've been wondering what to do with my life and fell on this website. I read you're "Killing Your Old Life and Living the Dream – Manifesto" and it opened my mind on a side of life that I've been thinking about. I wrote a part of my "Life Manifesto", which I haven't completed yet and thought about what gets me going in life. I will keep reading your website and updating my manifesto.
So I would like to thank you for the website and the information on it.

Hello Alex,
I started volunteering for the blog of a famous person who has been a role model. I was impressed to be chosen for this work. I thought it must show I have some kind of talent or special quality – besides being willing to work for free.
But I can barely support myself. My paid job search is going nowhere. I'm afraid to ask my volunteer job for money.
Meanwhile, I'm finding that my volunteer work is not impressing anyone in the real job world enough to open any doors in real jobs. It's on my resume along with my degrees and sometimes I worry I am overqualified for survival jobs and out-competed or underqualified or too old for higher level jobs.
This really matters. I am too stressed and time strapped by survival issues to devote the time I want to to my volunteer job. I'm even afraid to ask my volunteer job for a referral. They like my work but I feel I'm still too new.
This job proves that I can write and do other intellectually challenging work related to environmental issues and extinction of plants and animals. Without it I am nothing but a "dime a dozen" admin assistant who can't get a decent paying job.
I wonder if I should just give up on trying to get paid to do anything interesting or rewarding. I wonder if the competition is just too steep. I've been struggling for decades.
Bill - June 10, 2015 at 1:31 am
You know your blog is awesome, I do not need to repeat that
I am an Indian. The culture is very family oriented and we weave family matters along with all other goals. That of-course is a mammoth task specially after marriage coz there are two set of parents to look for.
But anyways, what has to be done, has to be done.
The only hitch being, those few questions which creates a bit of guilt. They make us feel that in pursuit of selfish interests, we apparently compromised on parents well being in old age. They are constantly sad when all kids are away and trying to grab their goals, leaving them behind with a lifeless routine after retirement.
We convince them by words, and they may no longer pose problems but the question keeps coming back in mind –
Is it okay to let parents deal with their minor issues (health & otherwise) themselves. (issues are 'minor' only for me not in their eyes)I am sure, all those who are passionate in any sense of the word, are also emotional wrt relationships and irrespective of their country of origin, such people who are still kids at their heart, love their parents and wish to provide for them.
Things like relocation, travel etc. become a bit confusing.I wish if you could cover something around this issue in one of your next posts or simply reply in here . Will love to see what thoughts you have.

Where r u buddy ??? eagerly waiting for your new post.
- November 5, 2015 at 6:43 pm
Yo Alex,
I found your site yesterday, like many others, by googling how i feel meaningless/pointless. several things have stuck in my head that you've typed:
-It's a process-(at least i think this was you, it could have been one of the links i clicked on) i always knew time wasn't my friend but i always hoped there was a "get fixed quick" way to find my purpose and meaning. Processes arent bad though. you have to do them for lots of things. going through life in steps is basic and simple.
-purpose can be fleeting- this was a real mindblowing moment for me. i think most people think that your purpose is your whole life. well i think now that its not. i had a purpose, for i have always wanted a family and to take care of my family like a family should be taken care of. To give to my partner and/or children the care and love that my family forgot to give me. but my purpose had two major flaws: it relied on a partner and it was the only thing that i was going for. So when reality said not today to that purpose i am left with hurt feelings and major disappointment. But all i have to do is find the next purpose until that purpose is ready to come to fruition.
After reading a few articles/posts here, it doesn't feel so bad. i feel that you totally get it and your not just some guy out there that no average person can relate to. you are very relatable. i too am getting my Bachelors in Biology and im not even done yet and i cant even get a foot into the field. right now i work in my college library. its not bad. if there weren't any people it would be perfect. but i know its just a stepping stone.
So i'm going to go on a vacation and then try to work on doing lots of different things instead of focusing on my meaninglessness. the here and now is where i should be. i tend to over think and analyze so i hope this works and even if it doesn't i'll come back here and refuel till i get there too.
Thank you very much for being a success. its very inspirational for me.
- January 10, 2016 at 4:45 pm
Hi Alexander,
I know that you are incredibly busy. I am 25 years old and I found your blog yesterday, in my hospital room. I know that you don't normally do this, but could I talk to you? (You can email me and we can figure out a time?) I understand if that is not possible. Either way, please know that I admire you and am incredibly grateful for you.
- March 10, 2016 at 11:22 pm
I really enjoy reading your posts. I can't tell if you're talented or worked hard, but I enjoy your writing style and can feel the enthusiasm in your words. You'll go far my friend!

Hi I'm an overweight 27 year old who works in a call center. Needless to say my life sucks! I want to make games, so I bought a udemy course on gamemaker. All of my coworkers say i'm too stupid to do this and I should just focus on working in this god awful call center. When they said that I was going to stop doing the course! A course that I spent 30 dollars on! A program that I spent 175 dollars on! It's at this point I've realized that I've never stood up for myself in my entire life. Everyone bosses me around and I have no Idea how to stop them I even moved to a new state because I was trying to get away from my uncle bullying me! I'm from New York and I ran to NJ to get away from him.This was the worst mistake I ever mad because now I hate my life even more! Not one person believes in my dream to design games and all tell me I should work at Wal-Mart or of course this freaking call center. Do you have any advice to fix my miserable life?
- August 1, 2016 at 12:50 am
Hi I like your article
- October 5, 2016 at 6:31 pm
Hey man,
I randomly landed on your blog a couple days ago. It's really cool and really inspiring as I'm also trying to launch my business and be financially independent.
I just have one little request. I think it would be nice to have a list of all the posts so it is easier to navigate between them, instead of having to go through all the pages.
Keep up the good work ! - November 30, 2016 at 8:36 pm
Hay Alex,
Coming accidentally here in your site, I kind of really liked it.
Okay, about me..I'll be 21 by next year and do not know what to do for living. I'm in final semester of Civil engineering which i do not have a clue what's that about. I took the course with my own knowledge and now I couldn't apologize myself for that. Neither I know anything about it nor I've tried knowing it. I hail from Indian middle class family and my father wants me to take some banking exams or try some kind of government jobs. I'm definitely not interested i any of these. I don't even know what I really want. All I know is I wanna make good money, car and other expensive things. At present I wish to become a news reader and I'm not sure how to and whom to approach. I'm really kind of freaking every night and I'm depressed thinking about my life. Not sure why I wrote such a lengthy crap, still thank you for your time if you read this and definitely hoping for a good solution. - December 20, 2016 at 11:51 am
Hey Alex,
Hope you're doing well,pal. Actually,a friend of mine told me about your blog. Soon,I started to reading it. Its really amazing and interesting. Just keep doing this awesome work of yours.
- January 19, 2017 at 9:30 am
Hello there! I was wondering what your e-mail is, I guess it must be very visible but, still I haven't been able to find it.
- February 24, 2017 at 10:03 am
Could you answer me one question? Why my comment did not get published? I find that it is always get edited out. Why? Not just your website mind you. I never say anything rude or offensive in anyway. Some people went so far as to rewrite my comment entirely into rude and obnoxious thing? Why is this happening? Are they actually feeling from my comments that I am more successful than them? I don't believe success is just about money.
Sacha. - March 16, 2017 at 6:05 pm
It a little late to be reading a book . I think a 38 out to do the trick.
I have been this burden on everyone even my wife. 57 and people treat you as if you are eithe a window or inviiiiiisible. - March 10, 2014 at 2:39 pm
exactly, I don't want to totally lose myself in the roller coaster of emotion that comes with making big decisions, but i understand that my emotions will guide me to the right decision. A balance is required i'm sure of it but i hardly ever feel balanced.

- - Are we improving at all?
Are we improving at all? This video was just a short video I made. Now decided to post on here. I made it so that only people with the link can see it so not sure if it will embedd or not. I know at the end I forgot to put all that stuff in ahahha.. so its blank.. but anyways.. yeah.. Please let me know what you think, You don't have to be NICE about it. But please do not be rude. I DON'T have a trainer, and I can not get one. But letting me know what I can improve on and what's going wrong will be nice. Thank you. The newest Pole video on there was just for fun. He normally isn't running them lol:) I know he needs more bend? maybe. I am going to get the chiro out soon to see why he is stiff-ish. Anything is appreciated. I also, got him in a new bit from the "the beginning" to the now part. and I am looking to switch again when my new bit arrives http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmyfI...ature=youtu.be |
I will let the experts really way in but my thought is you need to come in way closer to the barrel. Your turns are very wide from start to finish. Pick a spot and drive her there. Then sit and bring her around. Find that same spot on the next spot, stare at it, drive her in, and bring her around. Posted via Mobile Device |
Hope this works, this is a video of blue and I when he first started the pattern https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCwV...e_gdata_player Posted via Mobile Device |
Thanks I have realized that they are a bit wide. I do that because he tends to cut them short sometimes.. so recently/ and probaby back then as well.. make a wider turn. I will work on bringing him in a bit. Thanks |
He doesn't use himself, he's what I call "pattern" broke. He just knows the pattern but not how to properly use his body. He needs to be taught how to rate, use his rear end, and collect his body to turn. Does he know how to sidepass? if not he needs to learn before doing any of the following. Also sounds like you need to work on picking his shoulder up beforehand too, lots of collected perfect circles. The easiest way to teach a horse to rate is to go to the barrel, get to where your pocket begins then stop, back up a few steps then continue around the barrel after waiting a moment. It's done at a walk, a trot, and lope. Normally if you lope you break down to a trot, a finished horse can take off back into a lope around the barrel. You don't move on to the next gait until they can do perfectly continuous at the gait your on. The best way to teach a horse to use their rear end is rollbacks off the fence, always start out slow and build up faster. It's hard to explain how to do a rollback in typing I suggest watching a few videos. Mainly it's working on the horse moving off your leg and sitting down to turn around. Your also not finishing your barrels which is partially due to your horse not rating. You always want to come off the barrel as close as you can and head straight to the next barrel, take the shortest route. Go into your barrel with a pocket using your legs to push him out, then slowly close in and come off close. Once my leg is past the barrel I begin moving them back over to head straight at the next barrel. One thing I was always told is you want perfect turns before speed or else the speed doesn't matter. I know I'm basically telling you to go back and retrain him, but it's going to help you. You have improved but going back to the beginning and redoing you'll find it easier on both you and him. I hope I wrote this in easy terms to understand, if not just ask. Posted via Mobile Device |
I understand.. Thanks. I am going to get the chiro out.. because your right he doesn't use his hind end. I think it's more of a he CAN'T properly because something is not working back there. Getting a full exam on him to see what I can fix and what not... Yes he can sidepass, spin( slowly but still) and back with leg pressure.. blah all that stuff.. I guess I will go back to the basics again.. So should I make me pocket smaller coming into the barrel? or should I still go wide( so when he is going faster we don't hit barrels) Or should I make them exactly how I would want when going fast? Ok. I have the Stopping and backing up... Once I get to my pocket and stop.. at a walk( he should stop completely) and at a trot go down to a walk? or stop as well and back up? Could him not completely using himself be because my ground is NOT worked? just from us riding in it thats it.. thanks |
Agree with barrelracer23. You've got yourself a very willing, but pattern-broke-only horse. Have you read this thread? If so, read it again. http://www.horseforum.com/barrel-rac...drills-116865/ His hind end engagement looks much better on your new video, than when you first started. However, it is never a bad idea to have a horse checked by a chiro and a vet. For example: I thought my horse was just the type that had difficulty using his back end properly. Well later this year, he started crossfiring in back during his turns. Turns out he has a catching stifle issue in his right hind...that has probably been there a long time but he just didn't show real symptoms until his year (minus the fact he didn't use his hind end great). It could simply be that he just doesn't know how to use his hind end (because you haven't shown him), but it never hurts to rule out pain. Yes, you need WAY more bend. You go into your turns straight, and your pocket is much too large. Especially on your third barrel. Every horse is going to be a little bit different, in terms of how much room they need going into the pocket. As a rule of thumb, you want to aim for a spot about 4 feet from the barrel. If you are not sure where that is out, go out with a tape measure and mark it on the ground. Then, you want to maintain that 4 feet distance all the way around the barrel evenly. Now, there are other "pocket methods" out there. For example: Some people say go in wide to the turn, and come out very tight. For some horses, that works. But I much rather start with an even distance all the way around the barrel, and let the horse tell me where he likes to be to turn. This video shows how you should approach the first barrel and set up your pocket. You horse will have a hard time using his body correctly if you send him in there with no bend. Really overexaggerate it at first. Nose in, ribcage out, and hip in. So use a direct rein to get the nose in, use your inside leg to get the ribcage out, and use your outside leg (back a bit) to keep the hip in. Basically, your horse should be bent around your inside leg. This video shows a great example of getting bend in your horse. And yes, all these things mean you need to go back to a WALK and perfect it at the walk before going any faster. You've been doing the barrels the wrong way for a while, so your horse is going to have some "set-in" bad habits. So it is really important on your part to go back to slow work and teach him to do it correctly. You ride fairly quiet and that's good. The only thing I would change about your hands is to keep them more elevated. Watch your hand position around your 2nd barrel. You start out good coming into it, but then on the backside you pull your inside rein down, out, and toward your knee. That's too low. Think of hands being here: (and check out the great bend that the great horse Martha has) http://www.horseforum.com/data:image...VhV2BAhCP/2Q==http://www.cowboysindians.com/conten.../nfr-04-lg.jpg Granted, not all horses will work perfect with hands that high, BUT it obviously works well for Martha and it's an image you can put in your head to remind yourself to keep those hands UP during a turn. Do not drift in and out of your turns. FINISH the barrel turn completely before you head to the next barrel. Make a direct straight line to your next barrel and your next pocket. Literally, your tracks should look like the green lines on this diagram. The only barrel where you are allowed a little bit of arch is your pocket into your first barrel. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...rel_course.png You are going to have to take some time off the pattern to get Sunny more broke overall. He needs to be softer in the bit so that he can give his nose left and right to you. You need to be able to control every piece of his body: hindquarters, ribcage, shoulders, and head. When the day comes that you are doing the pattern at full speed, you need to have excellent control of each piece of his body so if you need to make a split-second decision to adjust his body position during a run, then you can do it because you've trained him that way. Overall; not horrible. You've got a nice quiet horse and you are a quiet rider for the most part. You've got to get better body control from your horse, more bend in the turns, and clean up your pattern. |
Thank you for your input. I think I may have gotten lucky as well. New neighbors work with reining horses and show ALOT( they look like they are gone with horses showing everyweekend- and just made a huge arena:)... so maybe I will ask them how to get more control over him. I will admit. I am a nood at trying or learning to get control/ how to tell when I am complete control over his WHOLE body..I know I can control my horse just not sure about all the technical stuff.. Beau thank you for the information. I understand. Ok.. This winter I will COMPLETELY take him off the pattern. -maybe still take him to a show or to( not to run just to get used to it) 1. what is the first thing that I can start doing? Video that I can look off of? thanks:) 2. Can a change in a bit help a little?? |
Even if you can just take a lesson or two here and there, that is better than nothing. Quote:
There's oodles of videos on the internet and I can't really point in the direction of certain ones. Key thing: Try to get your horse to respond to the softest cue possible. Let's say we want to teach your horse to move over his hind end. Let's say we want him to step it to the left. So move your right leg back slightly and just give very light pressure. If nothing happens, start bumping him lightly. IF nothing happens, start bumping harder. The VERY instant that he gives you the smallest step in the correct direction, stop bumping him and remove the pressure. Praise. Then try again. Start with super light pressure from your calf. If nothing happens, start bumping very lightly. Again, once he does correctly, leave him alone. Timing is very important. Your end goal will be that you barely shift your calf backward and he'll move his hip away from your leg. That sort of thing can be very useful on the barrel pattern to place his hip exactly where you want it. Repeat this exersice on the other side. And you can do the same exercise to move the shoulder (obviously your leg would move slightly forward, instead of backward). Having independent control of the shoulder and the hip makes it easy to teach a horse to sidepass, where you can initially do a hip-shoulder-hip-shoulder cue to "zig zag" him to sidepass. Until he understands what you want and you can simply leave your leg in a neutral position, apply pressure, and he sidepasses instantly. I did see in your video that he throws his nose from time to time. Softening him in the bridle, which your neighbors can possibly show you, will hlep him stop throwing his nose, and be able to "listen" to your hands when you so much as lift the reins a tad. Getting your horse in tune to your body is so helpful. I'm trying to get my current horse Red to this point (and he's coming along) but I used to have a horse that all I would have to do is turn my upper body to look where I wanted to go, and he felt it and went there, without me having to touch him hardly with my legs, and with no rein contact. Quote:
Will changing your basketball shoes make you a better basketball player? Nope. Shoes are shoes. A bit is a bit. If you can't control your horse in X bit, then switching to Y bit won't help. Yes, there will be bits that horses work the best in for barrels, but since you are literally going to be doing some basic re-training, I'd stick with a plain ol' snaffle. And there's no rule that says you can't run barrels in a snaffle if he works well in it. |
Thank you Beau for the information. So He does sidepass.. But I should work on getting the hip and shoulder moving independently? and YES I will go talk to my neighbors! Soon.. It's supposed to get about 8* tonight.. and snow A BUNCH:/ |

Very helpful for a talk I'm giving to teachers about children who need to be encouraged to read
Effects of Hearing Loss on Development
The earlier hearing loss occurs in a child's life, the more serious the effects on the child's development. Similarly, the earlier the problem is identified and intervention begun, the less serious the ultimate impact.
There are four major ways in which hearing loss affects children:
- It causes delay in the development of receptive and expressive communication skills (speech and language).
- The language deficit causes learning problems that result in reduced academic achievement.
- Communication difficulties often lead to social isolation and poor self-concept.
- It may have an impact on vocational choices.
Specific effects
- Vocabulary develops more slowly in children who have hearing loss.
- Children with hearing loss learn concrete words like cat, jump, five, and red more easily than abstract words like before, after, equal to, and jealous. They also have difficulty with function words like the, an, are, and a.
- The gap between the vocabulary of children with normal hearing and those with hearing loss widens with age. Children with hearing loss do not catch up without intervention.
- Children with hearing loss have difficulty understanding words with multiple meanings. For example, the word bank can mean the edge of a stream or a place where we put money.
Sentence structure
- Children with hearing loss comprehend and produce shorter and simpler sentences than children with normal hearing.
- Children with hearing loss often have difficulty understanding and writing complex sentences, such as those with relative clauses ("The teacher whom I have for math was sick today.") or passive voice ("The ball was thrown by Mary.")
- Children with hearing loss often cannot hear word endings such as -s or -ed. This leads to misunderstandings and misuse of verb tense, pluralization, nonagreement of subject and verb, and possessives.
- Children with hearing loss often cannot hear quiet speech sounds such as "s," "sh," "f," "t," and "k" and therefore do not include them in their speech. Thus, speech may be difficult to understand.
- Children with hearing loss may not hear their own voices when they speak. They may speak too loudly or not loud enough. They may have a speaking pitch that is too high. They may sound like they are mumbling because of poor stress, poor inflection, or poor rate of speaking.
Academic achievement
- Children with hearing loss have difficulty with all areas of academic achievement, especially reading and mathematical concepts.
- Children with mild to moderate hearing losses, on average, achieve one to four grade levels lower than their peers with normal hearing, unless appropriate management occurs.
- Children with severe to profound hearing loss usually achieve skills no higher than the third- or fourth-grade level, unless appropriate educational intervention occurs early.
- The gap in academic achievement between children with normal hearing and those with hearing loss usually widens as they progress through school.
- The level of achievement is related to parental involvement and the quantity, quality, and timing of the support services children receive.
Social functioning
- Children with severe to profound hearing losses often report feeling isolated, without friends, and unhappy in school, particularly when their socialization with other children with hearing loss is limited.
- These social problems appear to be more frequent in children with a mild or moderate hearing losses than in those with a severe to profound loss.
What you can do
Recent research indicates that children identified with a hearing loss who begin services early may be able to develop language (spoken and/or signed) on a par with their hearing peers. If a hearing loss is detected in your child, early family-centered intervention is recommended to promote language (speech and/or signed depending on family choices) and cognitive development. An audiologist, as part of an interdisciplinary team of professionals, will evaluate your child and suggest the most appropriate audiologic intervention program.
To find an audiologist in your area, contact the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) by calling 800-638-8255 or use the Find a Professional service on ASHA's web site.
Hearing loss is directly related to language acquistion, oral language development (spoken English or American Sign Language). Early detection is very important. However, hearing loss is not directly related to reading achievement. The quality of oral language proficiency has the biggest impact on reading development.
Interesting--that quiet sounds such as "s," "sh"... might not easily find their way into the speech of hearing impaired children.

Walgreens Offers Pneumonia Vaccination With Flu Shot Program
Sep 24, 1998, 01:00 ET from Walgreens
DEERFIELD, Ill., Sept. 24 /PRNewswire/ - Walgreens (NYSE: WAG), which has conducted a national flu shot program at its stores longer than any other drugstore chain, is going one step further this year by offering both flu and pneumonia shots for those hoping to avoid the illnesses that flu season brings. With help from qualified healthcare professionals, Walgreens will offer a flu shot program at more than 2,400 individual stores nationwide (except Louisiana and New Mexico) on one day from Oct. 5 through Nov. 6. Selected locations also will offer pneumonia shots during the same period. Those interested in receiving a vaccination should call toll-free 1-800-FLU-9950 for the program's date and time at the nearest Walgreens. No appointment is necessary. "Pneumonia causes 40,000 deaths each year in the United States, more than any other vaccine-preventable bacterial disease," said Don Johnson, Walgreens Health Services manager. "Men and women age 65 and over should consider getting a pneumonia vaccination this year. And all adults should consider having a flu shot. Walgreens makes it easy and convenient by offering both." Each pneumonia shot is $25, while the flu shot will cost between $8 and $10. Both vaccines are available at no charge for Medicare Part B patients if they're not members of an HMO and they present their Medicare card when they receive the shot. Anyone receiving a flu and/or pneumonia shot also will get a coupon book with $25 in savings at Walgreens. "We've had great success each of the last four years we've offered this program, the largest of any retailer," said Johnson. "The flu shot will last six months and take two weeks to become effective. Because the flu virus usually is slightly different each year, flu shots are effective only one season. If you received a flu vaccine last year, you'll need another shot this year. The elderly and those with chronic diseases are especially advised to receive a vaccination." The flu vaccination offered through Walgreens will immunize against three flu strains: A Sydney, B Harbin and A Beijing. Among those who shouldn't be vaccinated in Walgreens program are children, pregnant women, people allergic to eggs or chicken, people who've received another vaccination in the past two weeks and people with active illnesses. Walgreen Co. is the nation's largest drugstore chain with fiscal 1998 sales of $15.3 billion. The company operates 2,549 stores in 35 states and Puerto Rico.

1 World Trade Center Becomes the Tallest Building In NYC 407
darthcamaro writes "On 9/11, terrorists took the lives of thousands of Americans — and removed a pair of icons from the New York City skyline. For the last 10+ years, The Empire State Building was the tallest building in NYC, but that changed today. 'Poking into the sky, the first column of the 100th floor of 1 World Trade Center will bring the tower to a height of 1,271 feet, making it 21 feet higher than the Empire State Building.'"

Special Election Set To Fill State Senate Vacancy
Friday, March 8, 2013
Gov. Jerry Brown has declared a special election in May to fill a state Senate seat in the Central Valley that opened after a moderate Democrat quit to work for Chevron.
On Friday, the governor said the primary for the 16th Senate District seat will be May 21. The special runoff election, if needed, will be July 23.
The district, formerly represented by Democrat Michael Rubio, includes Kings County and parts of Fresno, Kern and Tulare counties. While its boundaries have changed since redistricting, the special election will be held under the previous district because Rubio resigned in mid-term.
According to the California Target Book, Democrats are 50 percent of registered voters, compared to 28 percent for Republicans.
Democrats want to retrain the seat to help maintain their supermajority status.

The first anime I saw was Gall force in VHS :), when I was some 12 years old. As a little kid I watched on TV Sailor moon, Dragon ball, Figth kickers, Lupin, Ranma.
I like a lot comedies (Love Hina, DearS, Genshinken), sci-fi (Vandread, Akira) and action movies (GitS, Jin-Roh), sometimes fantasy (my wife's preference)
Drama is usually the very last thing I watch, due to most of them are very verrry boring and slow.
English dubbed animes are somewhat strange for me. The Japanese voice actors are putting far more effort to make a good job. I prefer Japanese language (even trough I understand only a few words) and english/german/hungarian subtitles.
I like to read mangas, play PC games and to go out for trekking.
Please feel free to recommend any good comedy/sci-fi/action for me.

Most of my development projects are Visual Studio .NET projects that are stored in CVS repositories running on a Linux machine. Additionally, we use a third party bug tracking software that runs on Windows 2000 to track bug fixes/customer problems, etc. For auditing reasons, I needed to develop a program that would tie together the history of files changed in the CVS repository between different version tags with problem tracking records in the bug tracking system. To do this, I needed an easy way to access the history data in the CVS repository. In doing so, I created a simple and extensible class for accessing the CVS repository directly from a C# class.
I am not going to cover the part about accessing the bug tracking software. That software stores its information in an ODBC compliant database. That portion of the problem was neither unique nor interesting.
I do not want to go into great details on how to set up CVS. Suffice it to say that we use WinCVS on the Windows Client machines with SSH server authentication. By using this combination, not only can we access the CVS repository through WinCVS, but we can also access it from the command prompt.
To start, I created a central class called CVSCommand. That class executes an arbitrary CVS command via a command line process. Additionally, it starts a secondary thread that monitors the console output of the CVS command and places it into a buffer for processing. Though you can issue CVS commands directly by using this class, I derived specific CVS command classes from CVSCommand.
To execute a command, the CVSCommand or derived class must know a few things. It must know the CVS Root, the RSH (remote shell) command, and the Working Directory for the command execution. There are property variables created to store this information. For example, to execute an arbitrary command using the CVSCommand class:
// Generic CVS command CVSCommand cmd = new CVSCommand("log MainForm.cs"); cmd.CvsRoot = "firstname.lastname@example.com:/home/cvs"; cmd.CvsRsh = "c:/Program Files/GNU/SSHCVS/ssh.exe" cmd.WorkingDirectory = @"c:\cvs repository\application 1\"; // Execute the command cmd.Start(); cmd.WaitDone(); // Output the command response Console.WriteLine(cmd.Output);
Though you can issue any CVS command using the CVSCommand class, the parsing of the response is still required. For my application, I created a simple derived class called CVSGetFileHistory. That command uses all the built in functionality of the base class to execute the CVS command, but adds special parsing code to parse the CVS response in a familiar and easy to use format. Additionally, the constructor allows you to specify the file you want the history of. For example, the above code can be changed to use the CVSGetFileHistory class as follows:
// CVS History File command CVSGetFileHistory cmd = new CVSGetFileHistory("MainForm.cs"); cmd.CvsRoot = "firstname.lastname@example.com:/home/cvs"; cmd.CvsRsh = "c:/Program Files/GNU/SSHCVS/ssh.exe" cmd.WorkingDirectory = @"c:\cvs repository\application 1\"; // Execute the command cmd.Start(); cmd.WaitDone(); // Print out the results foreach (CVSHistoryItem hi in cmd.History) { Console.WriteLine("File: {0}", hi.File); Console.WriteLine("Revision: {0}",hi.Revision); Console.WriteLine("Date: {0}", hi.Date); Console.WriteLine("Author: {0}", hi.Author); Console.WriteLine("Description: {0}", hi.Description); }
The CVS Command is a rather simple class. As previously stated, its main function is to execute an arbitrary CVS command via a command line process. To do so, it uses the System.Diagnostics.Process class. However, it must also ensure that certain environment variables used by CVS are defined. After it starts the process, it also starts a background thread that monitors the console output of the process and appends it to a buffer. The method Start() is where all of this is handled:
public void Start() { // Do not allow if already running if (this.Running == true) return; ProcessStartInfo i = new ProcessStartInfo("cvs", command); i.UseShellExecute = false; if (this.CvsRoot.Length != 0) i.EnvironmentVariables.Add("CVSROOT", this.CvsRoot); if (this.CvsRsh.Length != 0) i.EnvironmentVariables.Add("CVS_RSH", this.CvsRsh); if (this.WorkingDirectory.Length != 0) i.WorkingDirectory = this.WorkingDirectory; i.RedirectStandardOutput = true; i.CreateNoWindow = true; p = Process.Start(i); monitor = new Thread(new System.Threading.ThreadStart(MonitorMain)); monitor.Start(); }
Once the command is started, the Running property can be checked to see if the command is still executing or the WaitDone() method can be called to wait until the process is completed.
The background monitoring thread is rather simple. The code simply reads the StandardOutput property of the process and appends the results to the buffer. Furthermore, it monitors the Running property of the class to determine when it can stop execution.
Deriving a new class is not difficult. All you really need to do is provide a constructor that accepts the proper information for the command and parsing functions to parse the command response. For example, the CVSGetFileHistory constructor looks like this:
public CVSGetFileHistory(string file) : base("log "+file) { }
It also has several properties that act as parsing functions for the Output of the CVSCommand class. For example, when a cvs log function is executed on the command line, this is output to the console:
cvs log

To make this more useable from a programming perspective, the derived class needs to parse this information and present it in a way that can be easily used. For example, CVSGetFileHistory parses all the revision text listed above and places it into a container class called CVSHistoryItemList which is exposed as the History property variable. In doing so, the following can be easily done:
// Execute the command cmd.Start(); cmd.WaitDone(); // Print out the results foreach (CVSHistoryItem hi in cmd.History) { Console.WriteLine("File: {0}", hi.File); Console.WriteLine("Revision: {0}",hi.Revision); Console.WriteLine("Date: {0}", hi.Date); Console.WriteLine("Author: {0}", hi.Author); Console.WriteLine("Description: {0}", hi.Description); }
In closing, this basic class does what I needed it to do, no more and no less. Additional error trapping certainly could be added with not too much difficulty. Additional commands could also be implemented, as well.
