In Detail
The new .NET CF 3.5 framework provides enterprise application developers with a whole arsenal of possibilities at their disposal, but without proper guidance on developing performance-critical enterprise applications, it is easy to make the wrong design and technology decisions.
This book guides you to build each part of a robust enterprise application by illustrating the .NET CF 3.5 framework with the help of real-world business applications. It will not only help you to master basic .NET CF skills, but also outlines the best methods, techniques, and tools available to create high-impact and performance-critical data-driven enterprise mobile applications. It provides a solid set of guidelines to aid .NET CF developers to understand how best to apply the features of the .NET CF 3.5 framework.
The bulk of the book illustrates the basic concepts of .NET Compact 3.5 Framework programming by walking the reader through 3 different kinds of mobile applications:
- A thick-client mobile sales-force application
- A thin-client mobile dashboard and reporting application
- A customer support case management application
Both the SQL Server Lite and Oracle Lite mobile databases are covered in detail, from data access to data synchronization. The book explains how device features such as Bluetooth, SMS, telephony, Infrared, and Windows Contacts can be accessed via .NET CF in a real-world example, namely the mobile sales-force application. It also explains.NET CF's GDI+ features that can be used to create rich charts and reports. You learn to synchronize the mobile application with remote datasources and communicate via web services and WCF services. The book outlines performance optimization and memory management techniques on the mobile platform. It also outlines the tools and techniques available for testing, performance-tuning, deploying and debugging .NET CF enterprise applications (including Power Toys for .NET Compact Framework 3.5 from Microsoft).
This book will teach you to build robust, feature-rich enterprise applications using the .NET Compact Framework 3.5, with the help of an end-to-end real-world example of a mobile sales force application.
The book walks you through three different real-world mobile applications from head to toe to provide a practical, hands-on experience on how to use .NET CF. It provides you with code snippets (in both VB.NET and C#) from real-world business scenarios. A summary at the end of each chapter explains how these code snippets work together as a part of the larger whole. It also makes use of diagrams to explain core concepts and helps you decide on which design patterns to use in different enterprise application scenarios.
Who this book is for
This book is written for developers who are acquainted with the basics of .NET Compact Framework and want to create enterprise-level mobile applications. It is for developers who have worked with the .NET CF Framework before but would like to learn how to utilize its advanced features and deploy leaner and faster business applications.

All the connections bring all the performance
Add to the realism with the Yamaha RXV673 7.2-channel home theater receiver. A Discrete Amp configuration for each channel submerges you in home theater sound, but when it's the music that matters, bi-amping boosts sound to the main speakers for some real party times, while independent zone 2 operation let's you put the music in an entirely different room. Six 3D HDMI (including one front) inputs keep your digital world orderly, using ARC to eliminate wires. The front USB port keeps your iPod/iPhone where you need it — easy to grab and cranking' out playlists, or surround yourself with Airplay to really open up your sonic choices. Yamaha's Compressed Music Enhancer deepens all your streaming and digitally stored sound, while Burr Brown DAC keeps your digital sound more than crystal clear. Legacy inputs keep your old-school audio and video engaged, while the RX-V673 is ready for the future with 4K pass-through and energy saving ECO mode. 17 DSP modes satisfy everyone from theater fanatics to hard-core gamers. And the Yamaha RX-V673 sets up perfectly, using the calibration mic (included) for pinpoint YPAO with RSC sound optimization. Yamaha's slogan is Powered by Music, but the 105W per channel muscle will power your entire Audio and Visual spectrum perfectly for every seat in the house.

Included with the purchase of the Yamaha RX-V673BL 5.1 channel home theater receiver: Remote with batteries, AM antena, FM antenna, YPAO speaker callibration microphone, Easy set-up guide, CD-Rom

Joke of the Week:
Rod Strobel of Canton with the story of the undertaker working on an elderly gentleman named Schwartz, when he notices the large...member. He's never seen anything like it, and because Mr. Schwartz ordered he be cremated he thought it was a shame to let such a magnificent manhood go to ashes. So he carefully and surgically removes it, and puts it in his briefcase. When he arrives home, he can't wait to show his wife. "You won't believe what I came across today at work," he proudly declares, opening the briefcase. "Oh my God," she shrieks. "Schwartz is dead!"
If football is truly going to the dogs along the lakefront, then let's see some swagger when it comes to predicting when the latest mascot for a local sports team does his business. What game will Swagger officially decide to properly fertilize the still-unfrozen tundra? Pick a game; entrants who correctly choose the right game when Swagger does his duty form the pool from which we'll make one choice, at random, to win a Swag Bag from 97.5 WONE that truly says "we're number two" -- even though we're one.

Ms. Fluff is an energetic and loving 8-9 week old kitten.

Joke of the Week courtesy Todd Rutledge: A mother and her very young son are flying Southwest Airlines home from Kansas City to Pittsburgh (the t is silent) when the boy asks "If big dogs have baby dogs, and big cats have baby cats, why don't big airplanes have baby airplanes?" Mom can't think of an answer so she instructs her boy to toddle down the aisle and ask the flight attendant, which he does. She smiled despite being busy and said "did your Mom tell you to ask me?" The boy replied she did. "Well then, go tell your Mama there are no baby airplanes because Southwest always pulls out on time. Have your Mom explain that to you."
Onozoomi and Yukai were born on April 27th, 2014. This brother and sister duo just came back from foster and are ready to find their forever family! They are sweet, affectionate and very playful kittens that get along well with other cats and even dogs.

This post is simply a post to tell the founders of this site what i think of it.
Its nice.
But I very much dislike the fact that there is a "per page" comment limit.
If an article has a lot of comments, I want to see them all to load on one page. It doesn't feel like a conversation when you can't see all the comments.
The site seams hard to navigate for some reason. Its almost as if you are trying to make it a conglomeration of a SN nation site and a newspaper

Pretty beads to go with the "pits", Lorrie! Hope you're not buried in paperwork though!
Oh My Gosh Peach Pits are back. Love the stones.
Once a month I have to take a few days for paperwork, childrens monthly financials, community events log, ect. Obviously, my least favorite part of my job! I document all the fun,cool stuff w. photos …but DHS doesn't accept those.
Anyhow, if I dont keep up on it, it gets to hard to manage.
You are sooo imagiative – love the pits. Your play on words is fun. Good morning, by the way. Getting the freezing rain today – missed us by a day
Just as nasty here Linda! Springtime can't come soon enough to make me happy!
great pick!!

I pick B. Making a deal with a terrorist...not something they want known. Also, he's a liability. He's volatile, uncontrollable, and brings out the worst in Carrie. I don't think the CIA care about that last bit though
One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching.
Wow! I really liked the last 20 minutes of tonight's episode. That plot point with the vp I would have thought a possibility in the season closer--not right now. The next two shows are going to be terrific.
I'm still so shell shocked I cannot figure out what to say about it.
But I would put it into a question of:
SpoilerWho is working for the CIA?
As I have said in my previous post on this thread:
Last edited by Eden; 12-05-2012 at 03:36 AM.
He signed a 5 year contract, so if he's "out of the show", it's probably temporary.
Also, while Estes is working for the CIA he's also looking out for self interest. It's in his best interest Brody and the facts he knows disappear. So there's the question of who the traitor is and then there's the notion of someone who's not necessarily a traitor but is very self motivated.
Just caught up on Sunday's show and I am more confused than ever. I hope Saul is not the traitor cuz I like his character a lot.
I was starting to soften towards Brody but the killing scene with Brody and the VP snapped me out of it. It was intense.
I have a new theory on who the traitor is. Truly someone you'd least expect. Wonder if my theory will be answered tonight.
Around the Internet they say it's.
Since Abu Nazir is dead or supposedly dead, here is what happens in the Israeli version:
SpoilerJamal- who is the Abu Nazir in Hatufim/POW was a Mossad agent.
He dies from cancer and one of the IDF soldiers, who was considered dead, is in charge after Jamal's death.
That is why I keep on posting here that the question, that should be asked, is:
Who is working for the CIA and not who is the traitor.
SpoilerMy guess is Mike Faber and a couple of comments last night reinforced my guess. First, when Dana brought him up. Second, when Brody said to Jessica in the car, "We were f'ed the second I left for Iraq." Mike was Brody's commanding officer. Something no one has ever said is that it's pretty implausible for an officer to be best friends with an enlisted man, but maybe that's a plot point. As Brody and Walker's commanding officer he would have known when they were most vulnerable to be captured. He would also know their strengths -- Walker was a near perfect shot -- and he'd know their weaknesses. If she was in love with Jessica from afar, he'd know with Brody out of the way he stood a chance. At present, he works in military intelligence, so he has access to lots of classified, secret info. I could be totally wrong, but he is someone who seems totally not among those you'd consider, but yet very possible.
As for who is the mole at the CIA, I don't know. My guess is Virgil and/or his nephew. Virgil is former CIA. He still has access to do all these various jobs and he has Carrie's absolute trust.
Last edited by pixie cut; 12-10-2012 at 02:07 PM.
I loved the scene in the car between Brody and Jess. So simple, but effective. I wondered how much of the truth he was going to share with her.
The way they filmed the search for Nazir in the tunnels was so effective - the cinematography, music, the use of light (or lack thereof) etc - I felt like I was there and I was truly holding my breath wondering if Nazir was going to jump out of the shadows. It was better filmed than most scary moves that are trying to scare you but fail.
Carrie's reaction to Nazir's death was handled very well. She needs to see him to believe it, what she has worked on for over a decade and the little smile as the van closed up.
I like how Peter believes in Carrie. Depending on what happens with Quinn's wife - hey Carrie - Quinn is cute and more stable!!
Loved how Roya totally called out Carrie.
Estes - is bringing down Saul - which makes him a bad guy. But Estes was pretty decent to Carrie and acknowledging her work.
I just don't see how Brody can remain on the show. He will be killed by Quinn I assume. If he is not - based on what goes down with Saul and Estes - others will learn about Brody. I hope they don't ruin the show keeping him alive and with Carrie.
I assume the only way Carrie's character has a future in the CIA is without Brody.
Let the story flow, and don't just keep amazing actors/characters around for the wrong reason.
Loved the preview for next week where Saul says to Carrie (paraphrasing) 'you are the smartest and dumbest person...'
I think it would be a good show with Saul/Quinn/F Murray Abraham / Virgil, Carrie and get rid of Estes??
I have no idea what direction they'll take the show next season.
Those who never succeed themselves are always the first to tell you how.

Elementary Kids Garden Their Way to Healthier Habits
Students at Fern Creek Elementary broke gound on Central Florida's first Teaching Garden. The garden is part of an American Heart Association initiative to give disadvantaged kids better access to fresh fruits and vegetables.
[Fern Creek Elementary students plant their Teaching Garden]
Fern Creek Elementary is a Title One school with 90-percent of its students on free and reduced lunch. An estimated 25-percent of its students are considered homeless. It's exactly the kind of school the American Heart Association is targeting for its nationwide Teaching Garden program. American Heart Association Youth Market Vice President Linda Perez-Lenard says Fern Creek's garden will be large enough for every child to enjoy the harvest. It should provide two harvests a year.
"We want it to become sustainable so that those children all are experiencing the teaching garden and the fresh vegetables throughout the school year," she says.
Perez-Lenard says studies show that kids who plant school gardens have better attitudes about eating fruits and vegetables. Fern Creek's teaching garden will be the first in Central Florida, however there are currently 11 teaching gardens throughout the state- all benefiting lower income elementary school students.

Thread: Pedro Florimon
Again, I'm using standard player models for Pedro Florimon, which is all we can use for players who haven't shown any great strides improving their play on the baseball field whereas you are hoping that Florimon gets better without any real evidence to suggest that he will do so. Which analysis sounds more likely to be accurate?
2nd, Gagne, the hypothesis, similar AVG/OBP/SLG, position and team. Can you find someone more similar?
I don't seem to be getting what questions you are stating.
For the subjective:
It's too early to give up on Florimon. He can get better. And I believe he will be better than he was last year.
I also said 'subjective' in my post - what part of subjective are you not getting?
To be frank, you are in the extreme minority in this viewpoint. The extreme minority.
I'm actually in the major that believes Major league statistics correlate better than MiLB to future performance of major league peformance. I'm in the extreme majority. Fangraphs isn't using MiLB data for Mike Trout's projections for the 2014 season or anyone else with significant MLB experience. Neither is Baseball Prospectus or the Baseball Analyst. Zips, CAIRO, Bill James, etc. They all use MLB stats (if available) to project MLB stats, that's almost exclusively too. Again, if MLB data is available.
Last edited by twinsfan34; 01-15-2014 at 11:54 AM.
AVG/OBP/SLG are flawed stats across eras. A much safer, and more accurate, metric is something like OPS+. For example, Greg Gagne got to play in the SuperBall-era Metrodome. Is he a valuable player without that turf? Maybe, maybe not. In 1986 (the only year I looked), he OPSed about .080 higher at home than on the road.
What we do know is that Pedro Florimon doesn't get to play in a giant pinball machine 81 times a year and that he hasn't hit anywhere at any level.
I keep asking the question but what exactly makes you think that Florimon will improve?
Also, both Steamer and Oliver project the 2014 version of Pedro Florimon to be worth more negative offensive runs than the 2013 version. Both also predict a decrease in overall WAR. AVG, OBP, and SLG are not consistent league-wide from year to year. An uptick in Florimon's performance could be more than offset by a larger uptick in league performance as a whole, making 2014 Florimon a net loss over the 2013 version.
But please SHOW me the model, versus telling me what the model says. I was a research Scientist for 5 years in instrumental chemistry, I then taught AP Calculus (show me your proof!), and now I'm in analytics. I care very little for conclusions without statistical models to verify. It's no offense meant, but don't 'tell' me, 'show' me and be prepared for 30 "why" questions. And 'have you considered...' comments.
2. Also, what are you defining as 'success'... for Florimon, if you are at all defining success for him.
3. How accurate have these models you've been using correct? Do you go back to the Zips, CAIRO, Bill James, etc or whatever you're using to see if they're successful? To what degree? Maybe run a confidence interval on them for standard error? Some run higher on the projections, some run lower. Is your projection system (or the one you use), historically high or low? I know it's not exact - or you'd be making money left and right and wouldn't be here. Forget Nate Silver...but which is it? Have you taken account for this into the projections? I guess the one you may be referencing is an age one...is it changing at all year to year? Humans are maturing at different ages...body sizes are different, e.g. WW2 average American male at age 18 was 5'7'' 145 lbs. Now it's close to 5'10'' and 178 lbs.
It's fine to live and die on something, but say what it says, but don't argue for it as Bible truth without acknowledging all projection systems are flawed at best.
The projections say...." "
If you have a confidence of 95% (2 standard deviations) on that projection, well then it's something you got a 19/20 shot of happening. I'll take it, even with that 1 occurrence landing outside the expected value.
One guy was getting attacked by personal agendas in 2 different forums. And he wasn't wrong in either case. A lot of this is grey, not black and white.
Will you put a year's worth of beer consumption on your projection model for Florimon for next year? And I get any instance where he doesn't exactly meet that? what about 2 SD's within that number? Btw, I can drink a keg-ton of beer. I have more alcohol dehydrogenase in my system than mitochondria...and it's not even close.
I like your posts, you're [Brock] one of my favorite contributors. You seem to have a good sense of numbers and baseball.
But there are late bloomers. Michael Cuddyer was 25 before he really became a regular in MLB. He won a batting title at age 34, hitting .331.
Who could have predicted that? Not me. Not in a million years. Which projection system had Cuddyer hitting even .300 in his age 34 season?
He hit .311 on the road btw. In 2006, he hit .302 at home (the Dome) but otherwise, he'd never hit .300 at any home/away split. Pretty crazy. The stars aligned I guess?
Age projections are about 60% correct? That is, about 3 in 5 guys fall in line with those curves. Others are more linear or more exponential.
What do those age projections do to Stephen Drew? For his next 3 years?
What's the WAR/$ ratio of ROI for Drew vs. Florimon?

I don't think this is that complicated. Nobody knows what Florimon will do at the plate this year; no person or model can accurately predict this. Based on his track record, its not likely that he improves greatly with the bat but improvement is possible. This discussion is even possible because he is an elite defender. Seems clear to me the Twins are giving him one more chance to see if he gets better at the plate. If he does, they have a plus player at a position where plus players are hard to find. If he does not improve, someone else will be playing shortstop for the Twins next year, or maybe even this August.

First, I don't do bets on the internet. Never have, never will.
Second, here is a good article on player aging.
Hitters peak somewhere around age 29, which certain skills such as AVG/SLG peaking at age 28 and others, such as BB, peak in a player's 30s. Anyone in the 26-30 area is at or near their peak in most cases.
A good summary of the article is this:
Good hitters stay around, weak hitters don't. Most players are declining by age 30; all players are declining by age 33. There are difference in rates of decline, but those differences are far less significant for the assessment of future value than are the differing levels of ability (James, 1982, p. 205).
- He has been old-ish at every level of the high minors, not playing a full season at AA or above until age 24.
- He has posted an OPS over .700 once, despite being an older player relative to competition.
- In 601 MLB PAs, he has an OPS of .601. In his last 446 PAs as a 26 year old, he has a .611 OPS.
- In his age 26 MLB season, he showed no progression as a hitter during the season. In fact, he actually regressed as the season went on, posting a first half OPS of .636 and a second half OPS of .576.
- In his last MiLB season (2012), he posted a .652 OPS in Rochester. This is in line with his career .675 MiLB OPS.
- It's not only me. Both Steamer and Oliver project 2014 Florimon to remain neutral to 2013 or actually regress as a player.
Can Florimon improve? Sure, anyone can improve. Cuddyer improved in his 30s (but he's an awful comp, as Cuddyer had a long track record of success at every level he ever played).
But baseball isn't about hopes and wishes, it's about playing the odds. And the odds say that Pedro Florimon will never be an acceptable MLB starter. Nothing (and I mean nothing) in his career has suggested that he is a capable hitter. He hasn't progressed in a meaningful way in two years, despite entering typical prime seasons for a player of his type. Players of his calibre are often out of baseball entirely by their late 20s (see Gardenhire, Ron) because, as the link above illustrates, bad players rarely get a chance to age in MLB. Florimon is hard to comp because it's hard to find a guy of his hitting ability who accumulated more than a few hundred MLB PAs. Hell, even no-hit guys like Adam Everett had Ruthian peaks compared to what we've seen from Florimon.
With that said, I feel like I'm talking in circles. I'm going to bow out of this thread because there is nothing left to say.
Here's what I'd put a year's worth of beer consumption on: Drew will outhit Florimon by a good margin over the remainder of their MLB careers, and will approximate the same defensive value.
The rest isn't relevant to winning more baseball games, which seems to me the goal of all this.Every post is not every other post. - a wise man

"A defensive whiz SS that can hit 230-240 with some pop and steal some bags would be a nice player to have around"
Yes, as a utility infielder. I think Florimon just had his career year offensively - he's never hit 9 HR before at any level. He has a little room for improvement defensively that comes with experience but his tools are not going to improve. His bat is likely to be sub .600 OPS again. He's not a great base stealer though I think a couple of his CS are failed hit-and-runs. He's a good guy to have on a bench but not the guy I want as a starter.

To summarize this thread: Florimon supporters think he is very good defensively and can improve offensively. The detractors think he's pretty much what he is. Drew supporters point out his outstanding 2013 season on a championship team and note his good defensive metrics.
I am not a Florimon backer, but I really think Drew will decline significantly and isn't worth the investment. While I don't buy a lot of projections, I don't trust 30+ shortstops and I don't like guys leaving Fenway for a lesser hitter's park.

I think supporters also noted Drew's outstanding career and debunked the health issues, as his outstanding 2013 season was after coming back from a harrowing injury. Moreover, Drew got stronger as the season progressed, while Florimon got worse.
Drew's OPS+ of 111 confirms that his production numbers would have been good, even out of Fenway, as does his 136 OPS+ against RHP.. If used properly and especially against RHP, he would be a sorely missing bat from what looks to be a very anemic Twins offense in 2014.
While agreeing with you and acknowledging that Drew may very well decline, especially by a 3rd year in a contract (And I'm not sure that 3rd year is even going to be necessary- 2 will probably get it done), Pedro Florimon is also projected to decline. And again, if you use Drew primarily against RHP, his numbers will not decline, but increase.
I believe that this type of defensive talent only comes around every so often (it's been a long time since the Twins have had a dominant defensive SS) and SS is one of those positions where you want to have someone who can help pitchers out, especially on a team like the Twins where the team relies on getting a lot of ground ball outs.
If Florimon can can limit his strike out ratio (not an unrealistic goal), he could be "good enough" offensively to go along with his fantastic defense. If you factor in that he's only being paid $500,000/season, he could be of really good value. Obviously if he doesn't show any improvement whatsoever, I'd be more than happy to see the Twins consider their options.
I was content with JJ Hardy playing SS and I'd be just fine if they brought him back or signed someone like him down the road. However, given Florimon's defensive abilities and price tag, I also like giving him another opportunity in 2014.
I also understand the issue that non-supporters take. I understand that the Twins need to improve offensively, and SS is a position they could upgrade offensively in the short term by signing Drew or someone like him. I'm not necessarily against this. I just believe Florimon should get the start in 2014 @ SS unless the Twins want to go "all-in" this off season and sign a few more players (Garza, Drew, and a good DH etc), in which case I could understand and would be supportive.
However, it does not appear that the Twins are being very aggressive on the offensive side of things, so it would not surprise me if they go with Florimon in 2014.

I also would like to see a rangy shortstop next to Sano on the left side of the infield. Reports are that Sano has soft hands and a cannon arm, but he's a big guy, without the lateral movement of other third basemen--and he's still growing. The Twins will need a vacuum at short who can go deep into the hole and make plays on balls that Sano might not get a glove on.

Another way to look at it: even if you are fine with Florimon's defense and giving him another year, do you still think the Twins should make a competitive offer for Drew? If his market truly has thinned out, and we could steal him for less than widely reported (2/24, 3/30, maybe even another 1 year deal?), would you be willing to shelve the Florimon experiment?

dbalus, thanks for the review. Trust your ears/listening ability.
I used AQ Type 4 before switching to MIT Terminator 2's and there was a huge difference. I went from the T2's to Shotgun S3's and again a large difference.
We all hear and perceive our rigs differently so, it is what it is.
Atleast you tried them and gave them a chance.
P.s. I have always stated I will not chastise anyone for trying different cables in their rig and not determining a difference. Only those that are unwilling to even try it, but already have decided there is no difference in cables.
