Hi: 9° Lo:5°
By Connie Osborne Thursday 22 May 2014 Updated: 23/05 09:06
LEGAL action has begun to remove travellers from a borough playing field.
About ten caravans have parked up on a field near Watery Lane and Hoveton Close in Greenlands.
Police and officers from Redditch Borough Council visited the site on Wednesday (May 21) and are currently monitoring the situation.
One resident said there were more than a dozen caravans and cars.
"The caravans are parked so close to the rear of some properties that it is impeding residents' access and preventing public use of the playing field," he said.
"Our children can only play on this playing field as there is a road at the front and a main road at the top of Watery Lane."
A Redditch Borough Council spokesman said: "The council is taking the necessary steps to recover possession of the land via the courts."
A spokesman for West Mercia Police added: "We are aware of issues concerning travellers currently occupying a field off Watery Lane in Redditch and the use of a play area there.
"We are liaising with the landowner, in this case the local authority, which we understand is taking urgent action to remove travellers from the site.
"There are no restrictions on the use of the play area as far as we are concerned and if anyone is intimated or threatened then they should report that to us."

I'm a harried, organic writer that marvels at those who can outline and stay so wonderfully creative.

I still dream of making enough money to live on after my hubby and I retire from our day jobs. I write to leave something of me behind in the world when I'm long gone.

I would make books with pictures in them, before I knew how to write. I would tell stories in the car while we would travel - - and drive my parents nuts. Probably, it's imagination running wild. I was lucky to fall into a job as a technical writer and happen to be pretty good at it. At least I was writing, editing, revising and all that writerly sort of stuff. Now, I want to write thrillers and I'm working on it (aside from shoveling snow) and having a wonderful time. Yeah, it's work, and I already know that.

Only a mysterious group called "The Foundation" knows his whereabouts. They hire you to find the crystal skulls and in the process you might find your father using your guide, an enchanted atlas.

Sporting Events | Corporate Events | Fashion Parades and Balls | Event Themeing
These days major sporting events attract very large crowds and equally large sponsorship. Due to the size and nature of these gigs, event management is fully aware of the many obstacles they're required to navigate to bring about successful completion. On field audio feeds and commentary, dance and live music productions, big screen video and TV broadcast, the list goes on and on, but in short large sporting events can easily become logistical nightmares. From our regular work at NRL games through to being entrusted with the local production of the 2004 Rugby World Cup, Talkin' Audio has proven its ability to successfully undertake sporting events of all sizes. If you require a dependable production team that has both the experience and ability to assist with your sporting event, we'd love to talk and discuss the options.
The market place is an ever evolving creature and as a result what was acceptable common practice only 5 years ago may be totally outmoded today. More and more businesses are realising the benefits of hosting corporate functions for both their current and prospective clients. These events enable you to present your business in the best possible light. They provide a framework within which your clients can develop networks and they also present you with an opportunity that allows you to say thanks to both clients and staff. Working in partnership with Talkin' Audio you can provide state of the art lighting, audio visual effects, and themeing right through to one off high quality video presentations for these special occasions. To find out how you can make a splash within your industry contact us today.
Have you ever been to a Fashion Parade or Ball that was really something special? Talkin' Audio has the expertise to help make your next function a winner. We pay particular attention to the sound so as to ensure all guests can hear comfortably and clearly. We offer state of the art lighting and audio visual effects right through to one off high quality video presentations for special occasions. Themeing of your event is yet another option available to you when you choose to use the Talkin' Audio team. For more information on just how we can make your next Fashion Parade or Ball a success we'd love to hear from you.
Talkin' Audio has a well deserved reputation as being leaders in sound and lighting production, but did you know that they provide specialist event themeing. Make your next event stand out head and shoulders above the rest by transforming the entire venue into a theme of your choice. The choices are really only limited by your imagination.
It's amazing how even a huge industrial warehouse can be morphed into a bright and festive ballroom seating 700 patrons. The possibilities really are endless. For ideas, costings and availability we'd only be to happy to make a time and discuss it.

Genzyme To Invest $80 Million In Framingham, Mass. Site To Expand Manufacturing Capacity For Fabrazyme®
Genzyme, a Sanofi company (EURONEXT: SAN and NYSE: SNY), announced today that it is investing $80 million to build a new downstream processing facility for Fabrazyme® (agalsidase beta). The new plant, which will be located adjacent to the new Fabrazyme cell culture manufacturing site in Framingham, Massachusetts, will significantly expand purification capacity to support anticipated growth in global demand over the coming years.
"As we continue to meet the global demands for Fabrazyme and build inventory, our focus also remains on the future needs of the global Fabry community," said Genzyme President and CEO, David Meeker, M.D. "Following last year's regulatory approvals of our manufacturing facility in Framingham and a new vial filling line at our plant in Waterford, Ireland, we continue to execute on our global manufacturing strategy, enhancing our capabilities across the entire manufacturing process for Fabrazyme."
Downstream processing, a vital step in biologic production, involves the purification of material harvested from the cell culture manufacturing process. The final product, which is administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion, is formulated and fill-finished in a separate facility in Waterford, Ireland and shipped to multiple distribution centers for labeling, packaging and shipping around the world.
About Fabry DiseaseFabrazyme is approved for treatment of Fabry disease, an inherited condition that is characterized by excessive accumulation of the lipid GL-3 in various organs and tissues, which over time can cause renal, cardiac and cerebrovascular events. As a result, patients with Fabry disease typically have a shortened life span, and children must often cope with significant pain and disability. Fabry disease is an inherited and life threatening disease linked to the X chromosome which affects approximately 5,000 patients in the world. About Genzyme, a Sanofi Company Genzyme has pioneered the development and delivery of transformative therapies for patients affected by rare and debilitating diseases for over 30 years. We accomplish our goals through world-class research and with the compassion and commitment of our employees. With a focus on rare diseases and multiple sclerosis, we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of the patients and families we serve. That goal guides and inspires us every day.

text: Hi Robert, My apologies for "SARCASM". I wanted to be provocative because former posts went unnoticed. Maybe I have gone too far... But I would strongly defend merits of arguments in the post. You say we did wrong, but whats you recommendation on mixing many intersections with rendering ? Its very common scenario. How should we tackle it, if current approach is wrong ? Second important issue for me is usage of _name in scene graph. I always expected that _name is reserved for users and its a normal rule in all Scene Graph implementations that libraries do not change it. Names are ususlly used to identify certain portions of models and hook up the code properly. Thats something that provide standard linking mechanisms between artists and programmers works. Please also note that we use cache becuse we otherwise were loading PageLOD files twice. Is it reasonable ?. Even if we skip intersections, other situations are also possible. For example we may have few highly detailed special PageLOD tiles with ariports which we want to preload and keep in memory for whole application runtime. So we modify readFileCallback to work for such cache and return these preloaded models each time thery are requested. Their names will be changed as well and "NeedToRemove" scheme stops working anyway.

There is also the issue of having to maintain a PageLOD with it's children loaded from lowest res to highest res - you can't skip intermediate children and just attach the highest rest one, keeping the loaded subgraph local. It's also worth mentioning that IntersectionVsitor itself does do any loaded of data, it's callback that you attach to it that do it so usual usage of IntersectionVisitor doesn't load highest level of detail - it doesn't load anything.

SARCASM#1: But don't loose faith there is a solution. > See next point. Well if you want the IntersectionVisitor to happen asynchronously from the DatabasePager loaded then you have to have keep the two separate, or manage the integration very careful by using a IntersectionReadCallback that is design to integrate the two. Please note DatabaseCacheReadCallback is not designed to integrate DatabasePager and IntersectionVisitor, it's a specific solution for IntersectionVisition and is wholly parallel and independent to DatabasePager and is meant to be this way. IntersectionVisitor is synchronous - you have to get the subgraph immediately, so the reading of external tiles has to be done in the same thread. > 5.

(Yes its SARCASM#3) Well if you do start mixing stuff that wasn't intended to be mixed in the way you are mixing it well perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised that problems eventually do ensue. Also the SCARCASM stuff really isn't helpful and just lowers to tone of communication. Please stop it, it has no place on osg-users.

Um.... your elaborate scheme illustrates a weakness in the flexibility of the performance trick in DatabasePager, not anything about using Object::_name. It also illustrates problems your elaborate scheme. The performance trick in DatabasePager is a bug because it just is robust in the presence of multiple-viewpoints and mixing of threading of loading. > Thats why I am going to prepare a fix that will not rename nodes to > remove. > But will instead drop their addresses into a set (or sorted vector) and > will later us this set to test if node is marked for removal.

Ironically, I originally did implement the code with a std::set<> but went for using setName/getName() to make the code more efficient. In hindsight this optimization this may have been a mistake, but until I've actually recreated the multi-viewpoint bug and dug down into exactly what was going wrong I can't say for sure where just replace it with std::set will fix all the problems. In your case you will need to think more deeply about mixing IntersectionVisitor and DatabasePager loading. There aren't meant to be mixed.

The data access wars are over; long live the ORM wars. The new battles are fought with even more fanatical zealous behaviour than in previous conflicts. Rather than just debating the pros and cons of how best to execute SQL and wire it into our objects, there is now a whole new dimension to developer's polarized opinions; what is the best ORM to use, if you believe you should use one at all that is.
The objective of any ORM is to bridge the object-relational impedance mismatch that occurs between a normalized database model (optimized for data storage, consistency and performance), and an object model (optimized for writing maintainable domain logic). Without an ORM, a developer needs to bridge this mismatch by writing tedious code that is hard to test and maintain. Thus ORMs should improve productivity, and the trade off is one of loss of control over the exact SQL executed against your database, and the performance overhead of running the ORMs code.
What makes the ORM wars so intensely fought is that there is little or no objective comparisons of the available options, and many people do not have equal experience in all the options either, meaning they find it hard to come to an objective view. This post attempts to provide an objective guide to choosing a technology to access data and return the data in the desired entity model of the developers choice.
This post compares the most common set of options facing a .NET developer at the present time, although other ORMs are available. The options considered here are:
In order to provide an objective assessment of each option, we need to have specific criteria which to measure. The criteria used in this post are as follows:
Each technology choice is measured out of ten for each area of assessment. No overall "score" is given to each technology option, because that is missing the point of this work; really it depends on the design goals of your project as to what the best fit is.
The business objective of an ORM is to provide a more productive method of populating an object model with data than traditional data access code, which is prone to human error (due to repetition). This section looks at how productive the development phase is for each option, looking at tooling, engineering practices and maintenance after release.
ADO.NET Data Access Code
A typical traditional data access layer in a .NET application will use ADO.NET Connection, Command, Parameter and DataReader objects to execute stored procedures (containing SQL) against a database connection. Parameters are passed into a stored procedure via a Command object, and after the procedure is executed, data is read by using a DataReader, or reading the output Parameter objects of the command. Normally, a developer will map the contents of a DataReader object to their own Entity object in code.
From a productivity perspective, the creation of Command and Parameter objects to execute against a stored procedure is prone to human error during development, because of the monotony of the task, and the lack of any compile time safety beyond the syntax of the ADO.NET code. The work of mapping a DataReader to an Entity is also tedious, although the advent of C# 3.0 and LINQ to Objects has made this task less onerous.
From a maintainability perspective, such a data access pattern does have one benefit over ORM approaches; SQL encapsulated in stored procedures can be more easily patched in a production system without a redeployment of the application.
Score: 2 /10
LINQ to SQL
LINQ to SQL provides code generation of data access objects using a command line tool called sqlmetal, which is integrated into Visual Studio 2008. It auto generates objects which represent to table structure of the database and are accessed using an auto generated DataContext. This provides a very quick start up time of developers, and the visual tooling is Visual Studio is very good.
A common misconception with the data objects that LINQ to SQL generates is that they replace the entities in your traditional architecture. They do not, because LINQ to SQL is not a fully fledged ORM. You will not be able to model the generated data objects as you would like using the designer. The best approach to using LINQ to SQL is to create your entities yourself and map the data objects to your custom entities using LINQ to Objects. This means that there is still be an amount of tedious mapping code to maintain, but the hand crafted SQL stored procedures have gone completely and you do have compile time safety over your data objects and mapping code.
The biggest issue that LINQ to SQL has both for development and maintenance is what happens when you make changes to the data model during development. Whilst none of the options here have a magic answer to this problem, but really the only answer LINQ to SQL has is to regenerate the entire data model. This becomes very onerous if you have customized the auto generated data objects in some say (like changed the names of properties or data objects using the designer). You can circumvent this weakness by not changing what is generated, but that does beg the question of the point of the designer in the first place.
Score: 6 / 10
NHibernate enables you to map your own entities to the database model using XML mapping files. Normally one mapping file is created per entitiy. Each mapping file contains meta data about the database model the entity maps to and how this data is mapped to the entity. Execution of these maps to populate objects with data from a database is handled using a Session object, which manages connections to database and generation of SQL against the database.
Like LINQ to SQL, the fact that NHibernate generates the SQL to execute against the database removes one productivity issue. However, each mapping file must be maintained by hand, and tooling support is thin on the ground, not really getting any better than XML intellisense. This additional control does not suffer from LINQ to SQL's code regeneration issues (because nothing is generated), but is does beg the question "haven't I just solved one maintenance problem but created a new one?". Additionally, querying a repository using the session is achieved using a loosely typed syntax (string based), which is prone to error unlike a LINQ implementation like LINQ to SQL or LINQ to Entities (entity framework). LINQ support is however under development by the open source community.
Post production, any changes to the underlying database schema will require the deployment of the NHibernate mapping file (usually embedded within the data access layer assembly).
Score: 4 / 10
ADO.NET Entity Framework
The ADO.NET Entity Framework is an ORM that maps the structural model of a database schema to a conceptual (object) model. The framework uses the Entity Data Model (EDM) to achieve this. The EDM is broken down into three sections: the structural model (SSDL), the conceptual model (CSDL) and the mapping model (MSL), which are stored as XML normally embedded within an assembly. The entity framework is similar to NHibernate in that ORM mappings are stored as XML, but differs in the separation the EDM forces between the three models.
Like LINQ to SQL, the ADO.NET Entity Framework provides code generation for its EDM via a command line tool called EdmGen, which has integrated designer support in Visual Studio 2008 SP1. Because this design time support is based on changing the conceptual model of the EDM, the entity framework does not suffer from the same shortcomings as LINQ to SQL, in that it is a fully fledged ORM that will can (on the whole) produce the desired object model from the designer.
Better still is the tooling for the entity framework. This is where it plays an ace card; compile time support for the EDM comes for free, and what a free lunch it is. The entity framework refuses to build if there is an issue with the EDM that will cause it to fail under any condition. By this I mean any issue. So, the EDM will fail to build if there is an issue with your database schema, or if your conceptual model will not work under all CRUD conditions. Surely, this is the real problem an ORM was supposed to fix, and of these options, the entity framework is the only option that really helps you.
However, the ADO.NET Entity Framework still suffers from difficulties when in comes to changing the database model post production release. Depending on the nature of these changes will depend on how much of the EDM needs to be reworked; if the change is an addition to the structural model, it is possible to use EdmGen to regenerate the SSDL while keeping the conceptual model (you will need to do some extra mapping).
Score: 9 / 10
If database performance matters (I mean it really matters to your scenario), then you may need to strictly control the SQL that is executed against your database. For these scenarios, ADO.NET Data Code cannot be beaten, because you can do anything you like. Most of the time however, all three of the other options will suffice. All the other options also provide support for stored procedures should it be necessary to execute some SQL that the technology cannot generate.
ADO.NET Data Access Code Score: 10 / 10
All The Rest Score: 6 / 10
Its all too easy for developers to focus on a solution from a purely development perspective, but the reality is a truly useful application will remain in production far longer than its development phase. In many organizations the development team are not responsible for keeping an application running, largely because this is not cost effective. Hence, a support team is normally responsible for keeping the application running, and their skill set differs from that of the development team, in that they have less application specific knowledge, but more platform specific knowledge.
Operational support teams are largely concerned with procedures to get a system back online should an application fail. When these procedures do not suffice, the team will escalate the issue to the development team and ultimately the vendor's support team.
For many businesses, this is a critical reason why they have chosen Microsoft technologies over other vendors, or open source offerings; operational support like the fact that they can fall back on Microsoft support should they need to. Having said that, NHibernate has a very active open source community, and if all else fails, you have the source code which you can fix.
Another important angle to operational support is maturity; the wisdom goes that the more mature a technology is, the less likely it is to have bugs. Of the technologies compared here, the most mature is ADO.NET Data Access code, then NHibernate, then LINQ to SQL, and finally ADO.NET Entity Framework.
LINQ to SQL Score: 8 / 10
NHibernate Score : 6 /10
ADO.NET Entity Framework Score : 6 / 10
The mapping capabilities of an ORM can prove a crucial deciding factor when choosing an ORM to use for data access. After all, the whole point of an ORM is to bridge the object relational impedance mismatch between your desired object model and the best relational database model.
Of the options considered here, only two can be considered as ORMs in the true sense (NHibernate and ADO.NET Entity Framework). Hence only these two can be measured in this area.
Firstly, both ORMs deal with associations between objects perfectly. In other words, both options model one to one, one to many and many to many associations without issue.
NHibernate provides more options for modelling inheritance than ADO.NET Entity Framework. The entity framework provides support of table based inheritance. This means that each sub classed object maps to a separate table, each row representing the sub-classed object. NHibernate also supports table based inheritance, but it additionally provides other options for modelling inheritance.
NHibernate Score : 10 / 10
ADO.NET Entity Framework Score : 8 / 10
Many businesses have a chosen database vendor, and thus choosing a data access option will require that you can easily utilize the chosen database vendor. Common databases include SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 and MySQL.
Out of the box ADO.NET has support for both SQL Server and Oracle, and other third party providers can be purchased for support for most common database vendors. This is the most supported method of accessing data from .NET code, an in some more exotic database it may be the only viable option.
Score : 10 /10
As the name suggests, LINQ to SQL is for use only with SQL Server. If this is your database, LINQ to SQL is not a problem. If you are using anything else, LINQ to SQL is not an option.
Score : 1 /10
NHibernate has support for SQL Server and Oracle out of the box, and it is possible to roll your own support of other database vendors.
Score : 8 /10
Out of the box the ADO.NET entity framework only has support for SQL Server, but unlike LINQ to SQL, other database vendors are not ruled out, as the architecture supports using a custom data access provider. Custom providers can either be built or purchased, and third party support is growing by the day for support of databases such as Oracle and MySQL. For example, DevArt have providers that support multiple third party databases here. There are also samples available from Microsoft on rolling your own here.
Score : 6 /10
There are two initial approaches to designing a solution with a database and an object model: either design the database model first, or the object model first (although clearly these two activities should never be executed entirely in isolation). There is no right or wrong order to these tasks, but each of the technology options provide varying support of both approaches.
This option does not stop you from approaching a solution's design from either standpoint, but then neither does it really provide any support for either option. Here, you can do what you like, including doing some very bad practices indeed. The only modelling you will have is the class designer and your database vendor tools.
Score : 3 /10
LINQ to SQL only really models the data layer, which means you are free to do the object and database modelling either way round. But like the straight data access option it's not really giving you much value here.
NHibernate enables you to model your database and entities in either order, and for many in the object model first camp, this option feels like the most natural choice of the four here. But again, modelling support only comes in the form of not hindering you, rather than helping you
If there is one area that will rule the entity framework out for many developers, this is it. In reality, the entity framework currently only supports database model first development. If you can work this way, the modelling support is superb, but this does limit how the entity framework can be employed, particularly if you do not have control of an existing database's model; this part of the entity framework is very unforgiving, yet also most giving.
One often overlooked point when considering a data access option is how coherent the technology is with the rest of the .NET Framework. By coherent I mean that the API feels like a natural extension to the rest of the framework. This is important, because it reduces the learning curve for developers new to the technology, and can also help future proof it with advances in the core framework. It was for all these reasons that I have always disliked many aspects of the Enterprise Library; because it felt unnatural to program against, and at its worst hid many core aspects of framework development.
In these respects, NHibernate is at a distinct disadvantage in that all the other options are the .NET framework. From a developers perspective its API shares no coherence with either the underlying ADO.NET paradigm, or the IQueryable (LINQ) paradigm. This makes learning NHibernate a uphill task for .NET developers skilled in either of these areas.
Of all the options, ADO.NET Entity Framework scores best, because it supports both the ADO.NET paradigm and the IQueryable paradigm, meaning that developers who have invested time in these areas can adopt the entity framework more easily. Another important area to consider here is the support ADO.NET Entity Framework has from other parts of the .NET Framework. Again the ADO.NET Entity Framework wins here because it has a lot of support from both the ADO.NET Data Services team and the ASP.NET Dynamic Data team. Once you have an entity model, you can create a data service or scaffold a website fairly easily, giving you significant quick wins (LINQ to SQL does not have this level of support).
ADO.NET Data Access Code Score : 5 / 10
LINQ to SQL Score : 6 / 10
NHibernate Score : 1 / 10
ADO.NET Entity Framework Score : 9 / 10
Making software easily testable by creating unit tests is an important engineering practice in ensuring quality in your solution. More specifically, the ability to test the interactions between the layers of your architecture is as important to testing for results of executing code in a specific layer of your application.
ADO.NET Data Access Code and NHibernate
Both of these options enable you to create unit tests and mock layers of the architecture, because you are complete control over all the code you test. This is because both options support the use of POCO classes for the creation of business objects and entities. Additionally, both options provide interfaces for you to mock out enabling you to test interactions.
LINQ to SQL and ADO.NET Entity Framework
Both of these options generate out classes for you to work with that represent your database (for LINQ to SQL) or your entities (Entity Framework). These objects are not POCO objects, which forces a dependency of framework assemblies in all parts of your application that consume these objects. For ADO.NET Entity Framework, this problem is more serious, because entities proliferate around your architecture more than data layer objects. Additionally, these generated objects do not expose separate interfaces, meaning that you cannot use mocking practices against these objects to test interactions easily. The counter argument here is that you do not need to test these interactions, because the code is generated anyway.
No one wants to invest money or time in a technology that has no future, or will be quickly superseded. It is a key factor for development teams who consider that their application will evolve through several releases over a period of time.
You can be sure that your investment here will not be superseded, but neither will it be greatly improved upon in future. Its mature, but it is also feature light.
Microsoft are not developing LINQ to SQL features, because it is now considered to be superseded by the entity framework. Of all the options here, this one has the most bleak future (although Microsoft will obviously continue to support the technology).
NHibernate continues to have a active ALT.NET community, and features continue to evolve. LINQ support is due soon, which will level the playing field with the Entity Framework in terms of support for ADO.NET Data Services and ASP.NET Dynamic Data. The only doubt here is how a maturing entity framework will affect NHibernate support in the future.
Score : 7 /10
Many of the entity framework's short comings are promised to be fixed in the .NET 4 timeframe. In particular, it will (apparently) support POCO objects, object model first design (including database generation) and better testability. What is for certain is that Microsoft are backing this horse, which should not be overlooked.
Wow… that was a long blog post! But in short:

Thats a nice compilation and a side by side review of each......
really effective and Agile....!!!!
An excellent article. Very helpful when you haven't used all of the choices.
Roll on Entity Framework v2!
I was introduced to the "orms world" by a person how told me that "found the perfect orm was like found the treasure in the end of the rainbow" so I decide to investigate the orms I found a lote of problems with all orms that I try. Same of the orms meets same features that I want but not found a orm that meet all the features I want so I decide to play around and start to develop my own orm with the objective to create a new orm simple to use and at same time meet all my requirements and so that is. Now is in the version 1.4 with hundreds of downloads and a very small community registered in the orm forum (7 people include me :)).
One of the bigger feauture challenge requested by several users is to have many-to-many relation with to-way directorion that is almost done for the next 1.5 version.
If someone wants to try can download it now from the official site http://entityorm.uuuq.com
There is also de documentation in pdf format and technical documentation and also a sample video.
Good analysis. One minor thing: LINQ-2-SQL does support POCO.
I really appreciate your professional approach. These are pieces of very useful information that will be of great use for me in future.
Great analysis.
I have used all of these choices except for Hybernate.
1. Entity framework seems to be the best choice for most projects especially the medium to largely complex one. I took a database that had over 700 tables, 400 views, 200 ustom data types, 700 stored procedures and udfs and as well over 70MB in size and turned it into an EDMS in about 2 minutes flat. I had to make some modeling changes in the generated code, but that didn't take very long. I like the idea of being able to extend the EntityContext object without bothering the auto generated code. Just remember to make your custom mods in new files or you will lose them when the model regenerates itself. What normally would have taken me 50 lines of ado.net access code took me only 5 with entity framework. I ran into a few modeling problms with queries. Mainly the ones that use the containes functions or the like keyword. I was able to fix this by turning the data into a string. first.
2. LINQ was just a royal pain, was too bulky, didn't let you change anything at all and had coding limits. LINQ to object/xml is good though becuse by the time you get your data from the database into an object, you have mastered the limitations and don't need to worry about it anymore.
3. ado.net code is good for certain things. I use it for very light weight functionality like creating an RSS feed out of database data. In this case, carrying around something as huge and bulkey as EDMS or LINQ is overboard.
Great article. Its about a year old. Would love to see the upgraded score in view of the entity framework in .NET 4.0
Good post, but have you thought about Welcome to EMC Consulting Blogs before?
This is the good step u have taken. Thanks for writing this, its clear you have spent a good amount of time on your sites development.
As for the third-party providers, Devart presents not only ADO.NET providers with Entity Framework support. We provide a new product - LinqConnect (http://www.devart.com/linqconnect/) that supports various database vendors (Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite) and provides enhanced LINQ to SQL functionality.
I can't wait to read your updated comparison on NHibernate vs. EF 4 (and 5 which in CTP ver)!
Would be cool if you put the current version of those.
"There are useful information and most importantly, for sharing great.

Invitations & Programs
    Well Saturday Evening my love and I stayed up until the wee hours of Sunday Morning working on our invitations and programs for the Wedding. It was such fun! We designed the Invitations together and then agreed on a design for the Response Cards! At like 2:00am I was sooo tired that I had to get some sleep. She stayed up until 3:30am and we were still doing a little to them Sunday Morning.     Other than that, we are thinking a lot about what we want to do for a Reception and then possibly the different traditions we would like to add from our heritages. If anyone knows of some fun Wedding Traditions we should add please tell us!!!! So far we have looked at Italian (as I am Italian) and German (her family is German) Wedding Traditions.     Things are going wonderful here. I am loving the area and for some reason God just seems to be blessing us tremendously as we press on towards Married Life. Thank You To All Who Continue to lift us up in prayer as we have been diligently praying for many of youThe BibleApologist

If I remember correctly, Lew Rockwell predicted this would happen here on the blog more than a year ago. As more and more bankrupt state governments seek revenues, taxing marijuana looks more and more attractive. The same thing happened during the Depression with alcohol, ending prohibition despite the howls of all who possessed that "Puritan yearning to browbeat and injure, to torture and terrorize, to punish and humiliate all who show any sign of being happy." At least that's what Mencken thought.
Both California and New York are floating the idea, specifically for revenue reasons. Once the grim reality of tax revenues sinks in, the states will get a lot more desperate than they already are. The property tax revenues still reflect pre-crash valuations. New post-crash property values will start to slash property tax revenues in a couple of years, and then we'll see a lot more enthusiasm for the Pot Tax.11:31 pm on March 23, 2010 Email Ryan McMaken

The Real Story Behind the U.S. Auto Bailouts
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Detroit's relationship with local boy Mitt Romney is ... complicated.
The son of a former Michigan governor and automobile industrialist finds himself in a critical battle to gain trust among American blue-collar voters that perceive him as a wealthy, private-equity businessman who was open to letting an icon of American manufacturing take an unprecedented fall.
|Mitt Romney must cure his auto-sector headache
"Regardless of what Mitt Romney may try and say, if we took his route the industry would have most likely been liquidated resulting in economic devastation across the Midwest," an Obama campaign official said on background.10 Worst-Off State Pension Funds >> The auto issue is a delicate middle ground for two campaigns that have struggled to convince middle-class voters that its candidate can save them from lethargic economic conditions. On the left, the middle class sees president who has overseen a period of high unemployment, moderately slow GDP growth and a host of other tepid economic indicators. On the right, they have a former governor who earned success by cutting jobs and gutting companies in order to turn things around. To make things worse for Romney, critics blasted the former Massachusetts governor this week after he took credit for the industry's comeback. Romney's justification has some truth, but the infamous headline attached to his 2008 New York Times op-ed, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt," is the sound bite that's stuck. So while Obama claims victory for reviving the American automotive industry and Romney defends his bankruptcy argument, we're here to cut through the vagaries and explain what Romney suggested versus what Obama did.
DIP Financing, Say What?Forget the first sentence of Romney's op-ed and jump towards the end. 10 Forces Conspiring Against Your Savings >> This was less about "If General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler get the bailout ... you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye," and more about "The federal government should provide guarantees for post-bankruptcy financing."

How Steven Spielberg's Cinematographer Got These Eleven Shots

From Lincoln to A.I. to Schindler's List.
Spielberg should make a prequel to this movie.
For the record, we'd wear Spielberg's very same outfit today.
A month earlier than its planned premiere.
Daniel Day-Lewis shows some fire.
Where she'd play the female lead opposite Chris Hemsworth.
Get a look at Daniel Day-Lewis in character.
It's coming out in a little over two months.
At last weekend's Jawsfest, thousands of obsessives gathered to share trivia and meet the movie's first skinny-dipping victim.
The actor used to think of Spielberg as a "sensei."
It's an amusing, Basic Instinct–related anecdote.
For Robopocalypse.
Just after the election.

Kid-friendly romp through the land of dinosaurs or a dark and fatalistic depiction of mortality?
And, suddenly, Lincoln's a looker!

DVR technology sets viewers free
Updated On: Apr 15 2013 11:03:33 AM CDT
(NewsUSA) - Thanks to the growing prevalence of digital video recorders, an increasing number of viewers are now breaking free from their couches at prime time and enjoying their shows on their own schedule.
According to Forrester Research, an independent technology research company, more than 13 million households now have DVRs, and more than 50 percent of homes are predicted to own the technology within the next four years.
With the ability to record, pause, rewind and fast forward through commercials, DVRs are empowering people to take control of their television viewing experiences. DVR technologies also allow viewers to record multiple shows at once. DISH Network, for instance, offers multi-room DVRs that can record programming on two TVs with only one satellite receiver.
In addition, most DVRs now come with ample storage space, a feature that comes in handy during a season packed with new shows and new episodes of old favorites. DISH Network's top-of-the-line model has the ability to record up to 200 hours of standard-definition programming, up to 30 hours of high-definition programming or any combination of the two.
Oftentimes, DVRs also feature an electronic program guide with extensive search capabilities, so it's easy to navigate all of the programming at your fingertips. Entertainment has never been more accessible, whether it's indoors, outdoors or a little bit of both.
