I can't find a solution for this, I hope someone can point me to the right direction. Basically I have a website with latest 3 blog posts in home page. I use something like this

 foreach (var post in Umbraco.TypedContent(1234).Children.Where(o => o.IsDraft == false).OrderByDescending(o => o.UpdateDate).Take(3)){ ... }

but it also shows scheduled, unpublished, items. In the backoffice the scheduled items are "unpublished" and I correctly see them grayed out.

I can't find any way to get the item status (published, unpublished or scheduled) or the release date.

Hope you can help, Joe
