Windows 7 64-bit
Random PC Freezes revisited
As the thread title suggests, My PC freezes (semi-)randomly.
Actually, I would like to refer to a previous thread with the same title as I believe it might be the exact same issue.
OK, first off some of my specs and situation overview, if I forget something, you'll be sure to point me out.
- I ran Vista 64bit and reinstalled my C: partition some months ago with Windows 7 Home Premium edition 64-bit.
- I have a Intel Core2 Q6600 2.4Ghz CPU
- On an ASUS PK5 motherboard
- With 4x 1GB Corsair DDR2 (PC2-6400) memory
- And an NVidia GeForce 8800GT graphics card
Now ever since the install of Windows 7 I get these random crashes, even when no extra software or games were installed.
I said in the beginning that the crashes were semi-random, as they do happen sometimes with no explanation at all.
But for example when I run Heroes of Migh and Magic 6, after about 5 minutes, the PC freezes. But it's not related to the game, as it happens at a different moment each time and has the same symptoms as the random freezes which occur sometimes not, sometimes once or twice a day.
The symptoms of a freeze are almost always the same:
- Everything freezes up obviously
- The screen gets scrambled with trembling pixels (you know, the little horizontal stripes in magenta color kinda)
- And the sound hangs too giving an annoying hanging record-sound.
-The only solution is pushing the reset button.
Now, what have I already tried (with no succes):
- Updated Graphics card drivers to the latest
- Tried playing with the power saving options
Before I actualy take on the Bios (which is now version 0603 and the latest is 1201) and change the voltage or timings parameters on my memory, I would like you guys to give me your professional feedback...

Win7 x64 + x86
Asus P5K mobo's aren't certified compatible with Win7. We can work on this with you, but there are no guarantees.
FWIW - I've seen a lot of issues with the Asus P5 series of boards. I usually recommend this:
- DO NOT use the AUTO setting for memory. Go to the RAM manufacturer's website ( Corsair ) and get the recommended settings for the RAM. Then set those settings manually in the BIOS
- one person with a 2009 BIOS has experienced success by updating the BIOS. This is dangerous and one simple mistake can easily damage your motherboard so it won't work. Be VERY, VERY CAREFUL!!!
- one person reports bad caps ( Badcaps.net - How To Identify ) in this post: [SOLVED] Bad overclock and now can't load windows 7 - Tech Support Forum

Superior Court burn-out: medical pot store loses court fight
In a strategy that might be indicative of the L.A. City Attorney's broader campaign against medical marijuana dispensaries, a Superior Court judge ruled yesterday the state law does not allow for the retail sail of medicinal pot. Carmen Trutanich sued an Eagle Rock dispensary last month in his first attempt to use the courts to close down a pot store and the judge agreed with the same logic that the City Attorney used earlier in front of the City Council: Proposition 215 never allowed for the sale of medical marijuana. If the City Council doesn't go along with Trutanich, is it possible he could sue pot stores right out of L.A.?
David Berger, Special Assistant to City Attorney Carmen Trutanich

With temperatures topping out near 63 degrees, local ski resorts couldn't do much besides watch the snow melt. Our Sarah Blazonis is at Song Mountain Resort in Tully with more on how businesses that depend on cold weather are handling the warm-up.
TULLY, N.Y. -- Song Mountain is just about the only place snow is still visible here in Tully after today's record-breaking temperatures. But business owners say they're counting on this break from the cold to be just that: the calm before more winter sets in.
The slopes on Song Mountain were quiet Wednesday, but that's rarely been the case so far this year.
"We had an outstanding Christmas holiday. We've just come off a great, great snow making period. Snow guns operated for over 120 hours straight," said Peter Harris, Song Mountain Resort owner.
But temperatures that climbed into the 60s meant there was more melting and dripping than snow making going on mid-week.
"The ski business is a roller coaster. We're used to thaws and freezes," said Harris.
The group I Ski New York says four million skiers typically hit the state's slopes each winter. Last year's mild weather caused that total to dip 20 percent to 3.2 million. Not good news for an industry that brings about $1 billion into the state every year.
"You know, we have a payroll in excess of $40 million on top of the indirect impact, you know -- the gas stations, the restaurants, the bed and breakfasts, hotels, retail stores and so on," said Scott Brandi, president of I Ski New York.
The owner of Play it Again Sports in North Syracuse says winter sports sales make up a big part of his sales. He says the challenge can be getting people to buy equipment when they don't see snow in their yards.
"The ski areas do their best to make the snow and give you good conditions, and they do a pretty good job, and there is still skiing and snowboarding. The areas that really suffer from this kind of weather is the cross country skiing and snow shoeing," said Ronald Yackel, Play it Again Sports owner.
But warm-up or not, businesses agree - this year is already better than last.
"Compared to last winter, we're probably double what we did last year because the winter...happened. Last year we didn't have much of a winter," said Yackel.
And it looks like the rollercoaster will continue for businesses. YNN's meteorologists say it looks like we're in for another cool-down beginning tonight.

The Unfamiliar Sound of Competition and Managing Your Rights
Up until now, music was in a unique competitive product category: there simply wasn't much competition (for consumer attention) between well-made songs.
Songs are inexpensive, consumed in under four minutes, easily obtained, and songs are the only product in the world where billions of users…each own thousands of 'competing' alternatives. In reality, uniformly-priced competitors are often stacked up and then consumed in succession, and in the age of the iPod, the stacks (the playlists) are growing instead of shrinking.
However the modern world conspires to ultimately deliver, in every product category, the greatest value at the lowest price, and songs are about to loose their long held exception.

MLC Women Roll to Win over Storm
NEW ULM, Minn. - The Martin Luther College women's basketball team took care of business Friday night against Crown with an 83-46 win to give themselves a chance for a home game in the first round of the UMAC Tournament next week.
The Storm entered the game without a conference win, but battled to a 10-10 tie through the first six minutes of play.
It would be all MLC from that point, however as the Knights went on a 27-5 run over the next nine minutes to blow the game open, and then built its lead as big as 43 points in the second half on the way to the win.
The Knights finished with four of their five starters in double figures, led by 12 points from Leah Nass, Alex Anthon and Brittney Gossen. MLC finished the night shooting 50.8 percent from the field, and held Crown to 26.2 percent on the other end.
The depth of the MLC bench would show throughout the game, as the MLC bench outscored the Storm bench 31-6, and 12 of the 13 players who entered the game for MLC scored at least two points.
With the win, the Knights remained in a three-way tie for the second seed in the conference with just one game left to play. The Knights have a chance to become the second seed, but needs a win over Minnesota-Morris Saturday afternoon to keep those hopes alive.
MLC improved to 13-11 overall and 10-3 in the UMAC with the win, while Crown fell to 1-21 on the season and 0-13 in league play in defeat.
The Knights will host UMM tomorrow (Saturday, February 22) at 3 p.m.

Modern U.S. History is an exciting and rapidly changing field. The University of Minnesota has been at the forefront of these changes and is well positioned to continue that leadership. Social and cultural history, in particular, have been central to the reshaping of historical approaches and interpretations, fields in which this department has long been very strong. Our thematic sub-fields, in addition, link faculty and students to comparative workshops within the department and a wide range of interdisciplinary programs throughout the university.
Under the leadership of Russell Menard and Steve Ruggles, Minnesota has become the premier training ground for quantitative methods in U.S. history, with an emphasis on social, economic, and demographic studies. Under the direction of Steve Ruggles, the Minnesota Population Center is creating one of the largest historical population databases in the world. The Center provides training and employment for many of our students. Professor Ruggles' scholarship has focused on U.S. family structure, the Black family, and changes in household composition. Elaine Tyler May's studies of divorce, infertility, and Cold War culture add a cultural dimension to family history.
Jason Stahl: As a 20th Century U.S. historian, I was initially attracted to Minnesota because of its excellent faculty as well as its generous financial support. Now, after three years in the program, I know I made the right decision and can add three more reasons why the U of M has one of the best departments in the country: 1) The teaching experience is one-of-a-kind with faculty and graduate students working in a true partnership; 2) Graduate students operate as a community, not in competition; 3) Interdisciplinary work is not only accepted, but also encouraged.
With Russell Menard, an economic historian of colonial North America, and George Green, an economic and business historian whose work focuses on the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Department offers broad coverage for students in the area of U.S. economic history. In addition, there are opportunities to pursue comparative economic history with faculty in European and Asian history.
The University of Minnesota houses one of the preeminent archives dedicated to the field of Immigration History under the direction of Erika Lee. Erika Lee's work on Asian-American, and specifically Chinese, immigration opens up for us one of the newest arenas of study in the field of migration. Donna Gabaccia has studied immigration to the United States and Italian migrations to other areas of the world. She has a strong interest in the comparative and global histories of migration and immigration, gender, class and nation. Together with a cross-disciplinary group of faculty and students, they have created an ongoing seminar in Race, Ethnicity, and Migration. Linked to fields in family and immigration are faculty whose work is primarily in the areas of race and ethnicity. Jean O'Brien-Kehoe studies Native American history in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Her studies are further enhanced by the presence of strong programs in American Indian Studies, Chicano Studies, and American Studies at Minnesota. Barbara Welke approaches the study of race through the field of legal history.
Recent appointments to the US History faculty have greatly strengthened the field in late 19th and 20th century US. David Chang teaches on race and nationalism in the US, Native American and African American history, and the history of the American West. Chang is currently writing a book on discourses and practices of race and nation in the conflict over land ownership in Indian Territory and Oklahoma. The relationship between social and economic institutions in American history lies at the core of Tracey Deutsch's work, focusing particularly on twentieth century women's, social, and urban history and the history of American political economy. She teaches the history of consumer culture, women's history, the history of American capitalism, and business history. Malinda Alaine Lindquist is currently writing a cultural history of black manhood in the United States. Teaching interests include African-American gender history; the international history of race; African-American intellectual history; race, class, and gender in the human sciences; and interracial encounters in the United States. Kevin Murphy's research and teaching focuses on the interconnected histories of gender, sexuality, and politics in the United States in the 19th and 20th centuries. He is completing a manuscript entitled Red-Bloods and Mollycoddles: Political Manhood in New York City, 1877-1917, and has begun research on a second book project on the influence of European sexual, social, and political thought on Progressive-era reform ideology and practice in the United States.
With more than a dozen historians working in the area of women's history, Minnesota has become a leading center in this field. Tracey Deutsch, Elaine May, Lisa Norling, and Barbara Welke, study women and gender relations in the U.S. as their main focus of research; Sally Kohlstedt in History of Science and Technology has also done work focused primarily on women. In addition, several other U.S. historians are active in our Comparative Women's History Program. Moreover, graduate students in U.S. history have access to faculty and other students in women's history in the fields of Asian, African, Latin American, and European history. Many of them also participate in the Center for Advanced Feminist Studies where they may take an interdisciplinary minor in Feminist Studies.

Get Your Free Credit Report EVERY Year!
Everyone is entitled to receive a FREE copy of his/her credit report each year from the three credit reporting agencies, Experian, Equifax and TransUnion.
Why is this important to you?
You may want to review your credit report:
because the information it contains affects whether you can get a loan - and how much you will have to pay to borrow money.
to make sure the information is accurate, complete, and up-to-date before you apply for a loan to make a major purchase such as a house or car, buy insurance, or apply for a job.
to help guard against identity theft, a growing type of crime in which someone uses your personal information - like your name, your Social Security number, or your credit card number - to commit fraud.
A credit report contains information such as where you live, how you pay your bills, and whether you've been sued, arrested, or if you filed for bankruptcy. Sometimes the information can be erroneous. You need to correct it to protect your ability to borrow money, obtain employment or buy insurance. Your credit affects many areas of your life.
Three ways to get your FREE Credit Report:
Making it easy for you
The three nationwide consumer reporting agencies have set up one central Web site, a toll-free telephone number and a mailing address through which you can easily obtain your credit report. See the sidebar in this article for information.
When you call or write, please include your name, address and Social Security Number. If you have moved in the past two years, you may need to provide your previous address.
You can only obtain this annual free credit report through the contact methods in this article, not by contacting the individual credit reporting agencies directly. Also, the Federal Trade Commission warns, if you receive an e-mail or see a pop-up ad claiming to be from www.annualcreditreport.com or any of the credit reporting agencies, DO NOT REPLY. It is probably a scam.
Get Your Credit Score
You can purchase your credit score by contacting one of the nationwide consumer credit reporting companies Equifax, Experian and TransUnion. Their contact information:
Equifax- www.Equifax.com
Experian - www.Experian.com
TransUnion - www.Transunion.com
You can also purchase a credit score when you request your free annual credit report through the www.annualcreditreport.com Web site.

Review Details
Breville Juice Fountain Elite - 800JEXL
Product Rating:
- Product Review (submitted on September 20, 2011):
- I owned a juicer previously which was difficult to clean and inefficient. The Breville is a nice change. Easy to disassemble, clean, and reassemble. Cleaner juice - less particles. It takes up a fair amount of counter space, but worth it. A good value.

How Pixle Created Its Clever Cut-and-Fold Papercraft App 'Foldify'
- |
- 6:30 am |
- Permalink
- Portrait of a mascot as a pattern, preview, and physical form.
- Foldify's first prototype shows that it was technically feasible to draw in 2-D and render to 3-D on the iPad in real time.
- The team says that the icon was the hardest part of the design. They went through a series that they rejected as looking too much like a virtual toy or a videogame. Ultimately, they settled on the icon on the right, whose simplicity means it works at a variety of sizes.
- A lot of teams prototype in paper. Foldify's function meant that the team had to prototype paper in paper.
- Until a month before launch, Foldify's theme was dark as you see on the left. After some time away from the app, designer Renata Ostrowska realized it wasn't working and the team remade the interface to the light version you see on the right.
- The Pixle team's wireframes reveal how many interaction cases have to be considered, even for a relatively clean and simple app like Foldify.
When we first got wind of Foldify, an iPad app for designing and printing out paper craft figures, we were entranced. We wanted to know what goes into making an app like this, so we got in touch with Foldify engineer Krzysztof Zabłocki and designers Mariusz Ostrowski and Renata Ostrowska about how the app was made.
The team started work on the app a year ago, in December 2011 and worked on it after-hours in their spare time. The key feature of Foldify is that it marries the second and third dimensions — as you edit the design on the right, you can see how it'll come out in a panel on the left. This happens to be the first feature they designed. "Krzysztof came up with first prototype to verify if we can achieve our idea with current technology," writes the team, "It was just very raw prototype of drawing and erasing some lines and having real-time preview, but it served its purpose."
Once they had a working technical prototype, the next stage was to work out the UI. "We usually start with brainstorming and paper prototyping," they write, "Only after that do we start using Photoshop."
The team works closely together at all stages of the design. When new features are added, it means a new wave of designs and a new wave of arguments. "We always do multiple iterations on design, and very often we argue which ones are best," they write, "That pushes us to come up with design that will work for every team member."
Even so, changes and new insights can come to the last minute. "We found that sometimes having a break lets you get more perspective," the team tells Wired. "For example: a month ago Foldify was using very dark theme but when Renata looked at it after a break she decided we need to use lighter colors."
Our favorite part of the UI is the mechanism for when you want to draw in finer detail. The team saw a problem with the approach that a typical painting program which offers different brush sizes. "Fingers are usually quite big, and if you try drawing detail by setting very small brush size and then drawing you basically gonna hide the exact location of your brush under your finger," they explain. Foldify keeps the brush constant. Instead, you control how fine your lines are by zooming in and out. That way even when you are drawing very fine lines, your brush is still the size of a finger.
The team says that the hardest part of the design was coming up with an icon that captured the spirit of the app. "We designed over 10 different icons," they write, "They looked too much like icon for game or were too complicated. We wanted to show the purpose of the app and suggest that it's not just virtual fun." The solution was to show a pair of scissors on an unfolded template with one of the mouth-shaped stamps.
The pre-included stamps work alongside the pre-included shapes to make it easy for anyone to get started, even if they can't draw. The team says they are planning to continue to support the app with new templates and stamps over time. This meant creating a generic system that can optimize new shapes to most effectively use the space on a sheet of paper, and ensuring that the drawing interface would always correctly mask out the surface of the grid so that you can't draw outside of the bounds of the figure.
Foldify is available for the iPad on Apple's App Store.

United Airlines purchased Pan Am's Pacific Division and acquired several aircraft in 1985 and I've selected a 747-200 from that time period featuring United's Royal Pacific configuration for this installment of Vintage Airline Seat Maps.
This particular layout – one of several in United's 747 fleet at the time – was likely seen flying the U.S. to Japan market as almost 40% of the cabin comprised premium seating. A total of 35 seats were available in First Class in a 2 x 2 layout (or 2 x 2 x 2 aft of door one), Business Class seated 100 passengers in an uncomfortable looking 2 x 4 x 2 configuration with limited pitch, and coach offered 212 seats in the usual 3 x 4 x 3 setup.
In First Class on this bird you'd find me in the nose section as usual, probably in 2A or 2F. In Business I'd be in 17 or 18 A/H and in coach I'd opt for those exit row aisles in rows 27 or 37 if alone, or back in the two-seater section if I had a companion in rows 49-51.
Where would you sit?

"We'll probably trend a little bit lower [in the next couple of weeks]. A lot of the gains have been on positive comments made by companies like Dell and IBM, but I think a lot of this reflects market-share shifts rather than a recovery in the overall market."

In honor of our first houseguests Josh and Julia, and our current guests Emily and Sean, here's our top ten insider's guide to visiting us in China.
I've heard from some of you that you'd love to come to Shanghai, but you're a little anxious about what to expect. Believe me, I completely understand! The way our guests so far have initially explained China is "overwhelming." It is also exhilarating, and things here can be quite different than what you're used to: the noise, smells, traffic, the size of the city, even the script on the buildings. Hopefully these tips will give you a little idea of the day-to-day, so you can simply get excited about what you'll experience here when you visit! Soon, I'll need to post a Top 10 Most Awesome Things To See in Shanghai as a companion piece to this one.
- Water isn't free in China. If you ask for water in a restaurant, they'll bring bottled water, or perhaps hot water in a glass. Many restaurants don't even sell beverages—you bring in your drinks with you, including beer. No one drinks tap water here. At Hotel Dandy, we boil our tap water and then put it in the fridge.
- The restroom experience is one of the first shocking differences about Asia. Remember to carry small packets of toilet paper with you, because it doesn't come included here. Establishments aren't legally required to have a bathroom, and when they do, it will likely be a squat toilet. Toilet paper goes into the garbage can by the toilet afterward.
- People in China don't wear shoes in the house. We'll have house slippers for you. You will see why people don't wear their shoes inside when you take a look at the street! Shanghai is one of the cleanest cities in China, but it the expectations for cleanliness will not match up with what you're used to.
- Bubble tea is amazing. Even if you're not into it at home, I bet you will love it here. Coco is the best. Beware of the knockoff chain Ococ.
- Hotel Dandy is pretty far away from the center of Shanghai, since there's a 15 minute walk to the subway station. Pudong Airport is 2 hours away by public transportation, an hour and 40 minutes if you include the Maglev, or 45 minutes in a cab. When planning for intra-China excursions, we're close to the South Shanghai Railway Station and not too far from the Main Railway Station since it's located on the same subway line. However, Hongqiao Station is super far away, and we have missed our train twice trying to make it out there by 9am.
- Gather lots of 1 RMB coins for the bus and subway. There aren't many denominations of currency here, and gathering small bills and 1 RMB coins will make things easier on you. Cabs, convenience stores and cafes are good places to break 100 RMB bills.
- Bring lots of space in your bag because there is tons of great stuff to buy here.

But don't worry—you'll be able to order food without our help, and there are Western chain restaurants everywhere, including McDonalds and Starbucks. There are so many KFCs here that many Chinese people assume KFC is a Chinese brand. It's unlikely you'll get tired of Chinese food, though—it's one of the best reasons to come to Shanghai.

Recall that the CIA ginned up the "terrorism" that figured in last week's breathless reporting on Al Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula, just as it and the FBI have done with so many domestic "plots" here in the US.
And yet, Our Rulers continue to play us for fools, pretending the scheme was real and that we're in imminent danger—which obviously hands them more power, as "Senator Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence" babbled this weekend. "Feinstein was asked if current screening technology would necessarily identify this kind of bomb on an airline passenger. 'For this particular material,' she said, 'candidly, no.'"
Isn't the "candidly" a nice touch? As if this sociopath—sorry, senator—would know "candid" if it walked up and knocked her on her ugly butt.
Ah, but there's a message for us in Di's prattle: "Consequently the flying public is going to have to tolerate more invasive searches, she said." More invasive? Really, Di? Just how much more invasive can they be? "'The American public has not been terribly sympathetic' to this, she said," — yeah, all those wusses and whiners out there objecting to a little gate-rape — "but 'it's very important that TSA (the Transportation Security Administration) keeps up its efforts.'"

One of the first projects I put together this year was Captain Obvious, a nifty little application that runs off of AppHarbor and ASP.NET MVC3. What made Captain Obvious special for me was that it was my first time using something other than a relational database1 in production – I chose MongoDB because it stands out to me as a lightweight, easy-to-work with store that's easier to use for most CRUD applications. Since then I've gone on to build other projects which depend on Mongo.
What I've learned since is that MongoDB and SQL Server are tools that aren't 100% interchangeable and are more situational than dogmatists make them out to be.
My goal in writing this is to help inform you on how you should decide to judge these two technologies as options for your ASP.NET / WebMatrix / WCF applications.
The key to using Mongo or SQL Server effectively is understanding how the underlying data model works and how this impacts your ability to read / write what you want when you want to the datastore. Below are illustrations of the relational (SQL) model versus the document model.
In a relational model all of your information is expressed in the form of tables, all of which contain keys and some of which contain foreign keys to other tables. All of the information you read from and write to the database is expressed as either adding rows to these tables or combining their values based on some keys.
In a document model you have a relatively flat collection of items all identified by one primary key2, and instead of defining a relationship between two collections you simply embed one inside the other. So the relationship between the three tables in our relational model is expressed as a single, flat document in this model.
It is important to note here that there's no schema that tells MongoDB what fields should or shouldn't be expected in each document in the "Things" collection – in the relational universe each table is strongly, declaratively typed and every single item inserted into the row must conform to all of the constraints imposed by the relational database management system (RDBMS.) Anything goes in Mongo (although this can cause major problems, as we will see later.)
So what do these two data models have in common?
Seems pretty straightforward, right? But what's up with documents being able to refer to each other?
As it turns out, implementing a database where every possible piece of information of interest to users is all embedded inside of its own distinct document comes with some drawbacks, so the creators of MongoDb added support for DbReference and the ability to do cross-collection references as well. A necessary evil in the name of practicality.
So what's really different between the two models?
The picture that should be starting to form in your head of MongoDb vs. SQL Server at this point is a flat, simple system on one side and a multi-dimensional, rich system on the other. This is how I look at the two technologies in contrast to each other.
So at the end of the day, what's the bottom line for .NET developers who want to use Mongo or SQL Server in a web application? What are the REAL trade-offs?
The core strength of Mongo is in its document-view of data, and naturally this can be extended to a "POCO" view of data. Mongo clients like the NoRM Project in .NET will seem astonishingly similar to experienced Fluent NHibernate users, and this is no accident - your POCO data models are simply serialized to BSON and saved in Mongo 1:1. No mappings required.
I'm going to show you two similar pieces of source code I am using in production - one using NoRM and MongoDb on CaptainObvious and the other using Dapper and SQL Azure on XAPFest:
public IdeaResultSet GetIdeasByAuthor(int authorID, int offset = 0, int count = 10)
using (var db = Mongo.Create(ConnectionString))
var ideas =
db.GetCollection().AsQueryable().Where(x => x.AuthorReference.Id == authorID)
x => x.DatePosted).Take(count).ToList();
var totalIdeas = db.GetCollection().AsQueryable().Where(x => x.AuthorReference.Id == authorID).Count();
//Fetch the referenced authors before we serve up the list again
foreach (var idea in ideas)
idea.Author = idea.AuthorReference.Fetch(() => db);
var resultSet = new IdeaResultSet { Ideas = ideas,
PaginationValues = new PaginationTuple {
MaxPages = PageCounterHelper.GetPageCount(totalIdeas, count),
CurrentPage = PageCounterHelper.GetPageCount(offset, count) }
return resultSet;
public IList<XfstApp> GetAppsByUser(string userName)
using (var conn = new SqlConnection(ConnectionString))
var appResults = conn
.Query(@"SELECT * FROM Apps
INNER JOIN AppOwners ON AppOwners.AppName = Apps.AppName
WHERE LOWER(AppOwners.UserName) = LOWER(@UserName)
ORDER BY Apps.DateCreated ASC", new { UserName = userName });
//Return whatever we were able to collect
return appResults.Select(x => x.ToApp()).ToList();
catch (SqlException ex)
return new List<XfstApp>();
//Close the connection when we're finished, regardless of what happened
The amount of source code for these two technologies or the nature of it isn't wholly different.... What is drastically different is how I was thinking about the data when I was writing this code - I can save an instance of an Idea object to MongoDb on CaptainObvious without ever having created the collection first or defined a schema.
Whenever I want to look up an idea, I just pick one based off of a key value that I specify and I don't worry about any joins or anything (although I do have to load objects from the author collection if I need to display the author's name and contact info.)
In the SQL universe, I have to define my tables in advance and each time I want to extract an object, I have to think of it in terms of combined relationships between my tables and this requires a more thoughtful approach.
Mongo, in other words, lends itself to rapid application development whereas SQL Server has some innate friction built into any schema-based system.
One of the major advantages of a schema-based DBMS is that if the data a calling application tries to insert something that doesn't fit the schema into a row, the operation always fails. In Mongo, this isn't true - you can have one record in a collection with extra fields or fields of an odd type, and it can totally screw up the BSON serializer when it tries to process the collection (depending upon how flexible the serializer is.)
SQL users take this for granted, but when you have issues in Mongo along these lines they can be really frustrating to solve and difficult to debug.
Operations are not atomic in Mongo by default, so all sorts of fun things can happen when you have multiple users changing properties on the same document. You can set an atomic flag to true, but even then operations still aren't really atomic (they're written from memory to disc in bulk.)
If you use Mongo and carry the same ACID assumptions that we learned on SQL Server, you might be in for a nasty surprise :p
Overall, the biggest difference between these two technologies is the model and how developers have to think about their data. Mongo is better suited to rapid application development, but in my opinion falls apart in scenarios where ACID-compliant systems are a must, like anything that goes anywhere near a financial transaction.
But, that's just my opinion :p
1typically I've only used SQL Server / MySQL in the past
2You can add indices to other fields in Mongo too, but that's outside the scope of this article
3unless I am doing it wrong, which I may well be doing

Bar in View! O the Joy!
Dry Creek Saloon, Bill, Wyoming
These are the images I recall from childhood travels. I can still feel the back of my legs sticking to the vinyl seat of the Malibu. I can see particles of Sweet Tart dust suspended in the Midwestern sunshine that poured through the windows of the un-air-conditioned car. I can remember trying to concentrate onArchie comics and Mad Magazine while my sister whined about car sickness. Whenever we complained of being hungry, my mother the peacemaker tried to quiet our groans so that they didn't distract my father, who was Driving. She fed us Space Food sticks, those rubbery sugary protieny concoctions developed for orbiting astronauts. If they were good enough for the crew of Apollo, they should surely keep us going until we arrived at the motel.

This is an ingenious way for the politicians, bureacrats, lawyers, engineering consultants and, of course, the blessed innu to all dip their beaks into the Hibernai money pit and suck on it for years.

Yes indeed what is printed above is as Clear as Mud! Are we not willing to learn from our past incompetent dealings on the development of our Natural Resources? The people are saying enough is enough and we want honesty put into the systems that govern our natural resource developments, but it seems those who have their minds set on creatng a legacy for themselves, no matter how bad it is for the province and its people are wanting to forge ahead come Hell or High Water. And yes I have a question on Cost Overruns on any Contract, aren't Cost Overruns like having a licence to print money? The province of Newfoundland and Labrador needs to set up an Anti-corruption Commission, like the Government of Quebec has done which has uncovered a lot of corruption in their Construction Industry!

This is precisely the problem, Mr. Wangersky. NALCOR wants us to accept its assertions on faith but won't give the public any details as to what the cost of other options would be. It does not tell us if any of these options can be used to boost power production on the island, if needed. Would such gas turbines to be installed at Holyrood, as part of that facility? I do know that gas prices are in the range of an equivalent of about $40 U.S per barrel of oil and there is an abundance of gas so prices are unlikely to rise rapidly for many years yet.

Here he goes again! Russell's relentless attack on Nalcor continues. It's okay to be a critic, but this seems like a full blown disease. Calm down, Russell. Write something positive about the company. They are normal people working in normal jobs. They are not Al-Qaeda. They are withholding certain information to keep information from competitors - it is not a tactic to misinform the "open line" crowd. "Open line" and The Telegram can take care of the misinformation part. I should take this chance to say hello to Maurice E. Complainer. I'm sure he's posted here already.

Agreed. There can be no legitimate purpose for refusing to disclose what is essentially a quote on equipment required for upgrading Holyrood from low grade oils to LNG. The PUB, and if necessary the courts, should decide what if any redactions are justified. Although I have not yet read any of the documents posted, it appears that the message being sent by this particular redaction is that NALCOR wishes to complicate any effort by intervenors and/or the general public to question NALCOR's asertion that Muskrat is cheaper than converting Holyrood to gas. I don't think strategies of this type will succeed. They will only cast further doubt on the integrity of the review process.

Just because you don't see celebrities endorsing products, it doesn't mean they aren't there. An increasing number of actors are taking a more subtle approach to selling, by doing voice-overs. ''Two days don't go by where I don't get a letter or phone call from agents trying to sell a celebrity as a voice-over,'' says Larry Kopald of the Foote, Cone & Belding ad agency in Los Angeles. Industry insiders say celebs can earn up to $500,000 (the fee United Airlines reportedly pays Gene Hackman for his spots). But what's in it for advertisers? ''A voice you've heard before is reassuring, and that helps [the pitch],'' says David O'Hare of Goodby, Berlin & Silverstein. Herewith our follow-up (see EW #108, March 6, 1992) on the voices behind the commercials -- and why they're there.
Rob Morrow
FAME: Dr. Joel Fleischman on Northern Exposure
THE AD: A camera follows a wobbly shopping cart through a supermarket while Morrow touts buying groceries with the credit card.
THE PITCH: ''It's more than a credit card; it's smart money.''
HIS/HER APPEAL: ''Rob's voice is very engaging, very disarming and witty. He also has a natural intelligence that comes through.'' -- Joan Bogin, vice president of advertising, MasterCard
Joanne Woodward
FAME: Oscar-winning actress
THE AD: At a doctor's office, a pregnant woman in mid-sonogram holds the phone to her stomach so her husband can hear the baby reach out and kick.
THE PITCH: ''The real you coming through. Your true voice.''
HIS/HER APPEAL: ''She has a tremendous amount of feeling in her voice and she doesn't try to hide it.'' -- Betsy Mansfield, senior vice president/creative director, FCB/Leber Katz Partners
Patrick Stewart
RCA Home Theater
FAME: Capt. Jean-Luc Picard of Star Trek: The Next Generation
THE AD: RCA's spokesdogs Nipper and Chipper are cast from side to side while watching a storm-tossed ship at sea on TV.
THE PITCH: ''You'll feel like you're really there.''
HIS/HER APPEAL: ''We have these cute, goofy, fun dogs and then Patrick gives you the information in a businesslike manner. There's nothing goofy about his voice.'' -- Tony Gomes, senior vice president, Ammirati & Puris
Whoopi Goldberg
FAME: Oscar-winning actress and pop-culture icon
THE AD: Two women share the times of their lives -- and Avon cosmetics.
THE PITCH: ''Women are beautiful.''
HIS/HER APPEAL: ''We chose Whoopi because her voice is real and accessible. It's not the trained voice of an actor; it's someone you know.'' -- David Curtis, co-group creative director, FCB/Leber Katz Partners
John Corbett
Isuzu Trooper
FAME: Philosophizing deejay Chris on Northern Exposure
THE AD: Two guys heading for a football play-off game forget their tickets but drive to the perfect spot overlooking the stadium.
THE PITCH: ''Life's an adventure -- be prepared.''
HIS/HER APPEAL: ''We wanted someone who was observant, who had a compassionate voice that would present a situation and then make it relevant.'' -- David O'Hare, associate creative director, Goodby, Berlin & Silverstein

And a week in Africa leads me to believe that he is genuinely unthreatened by the idea. I ask him if he can conceive of inheriting the legacy of Hillary and Eleanor.
"Yeah!" he replies. "And I wouldn't be ashamed to do it, either. I'd be proud of it."
I fill in the as-yet-unnamed job title with a shorthand "First Whatever." This cracks him up. "That may be what I use!" he says to his aides. "Maybe that should be my title! I've been a mystery to myself for most of my life!"
By fashioning himself an ambassador of concerned charisma and ensuring that his efforts make headway and headlines around the world, Clinton has muscularized soft diplomacy, putting his alpha-male stamp on a feminized philanthropic arena. In doing so, he has cast himself as the world's most appealing, and most testosteronefueled, First Whatever-in-waiting. It's perfect. He and Hillary have always been classic American meritocrats; they want power and the results that power brings. This work, in which he can hold in his hand the medicines that save babies and touch the walls of the schools that will educate them and the hospitals that will treat them, allows him to do all that he must to keep on being Bill Clintonzooming around on planes and talking to people and squeezing every minute out of every hour. At the Mandela Foundation, Clinton tells a woman who asks him about his role in a Hillary White House, "I would do whatever I was asked to do, but I hope I won't have to give up my foundation for her."
Can Hillary see him keeping the gig through her presidency? "Absolutely," she says. One of the contributions Americans make is through non-governmental organizations. And what Bill has done takes it to another level that is complementary to what our government should be doing."
In Africa, Bill Clinton and his staff talk constantly about how they don't want to just give blindly, but also "create systems" that can work into the future. Clinton seems to have created a system that will allow him to remain potent even as he bolsters his wife's growing power.
"My wife was my first role model for what it means to be a public servant without public office," he writes in the introduction to Giving, a book that includes one photo in its pages: a picture of a Cambodian baby boy with HIV whose life has been saved, at least for now, by drugs provided by the Clinton Foundation. Around his tiny face are cupped two enormous hands. Those handsthe ones that signed the bills, shook the hands, seduced the woman with whom he is trying to make more historyare Bill Clinton's most outward signifier of power and masculinity. Here they are, in maternal soft focus, protecting the vulnerable head of an infant.
Clinton seems ready to turn gender assumptions on their head. Are we?

'Lion of Harlem' roars to victory
Special to the Trice Edney Newswire from the Richmond Free Press
U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, "the Lion of Harlem," roared again on election night, June 24. The 84-year-old congressman overcame a fierce challenger in the Democratic primary to virtually ensure a 23rd term representing New York's13th Congressional District.
With all precincts counted, the results show Rep. Rangel was ahead by 1,800 votes over state Sen. Adriano Espaillat in this rematch. Overall, Rep. Rangel claimed 47.3 percent of the vote to 44.6 percent for his rival, who also lost two years ago. After Rep. Rangel was declared the winner, the sound system that had played "I Will Survive" earlier in the night began blaring "Happy" by Pharrell Williams.
The primary win is tantamount to election since the winner is expected to be unopposed in the November general election. Rep. Rangel said win or lose, this would be his final run for office. He was first elected to the seat in 1970, when he defeated incumbent Adam Clayton Powell, Jr.
Espaillat was seeking to become the first Dominican-born member of Congress. The two men also squared off in 2012, a primary Rep. Rangel won by about 1,000 votes. One of the nation's most powerful Black elected officials, Rep. Rangel has been the liberal voice for a district that was once heavily African American, but is now majority Latino.

Carlisle Jaeger store closes doors after 25 years
Last updated at 12:40, Monday, 11 June 2012
It was a time for celebration not remorse, as Carlisle said goodbye to its Jaeger store.
The company has had a shop in the city for 25 years, but announced in January that poor sales meant it was forced to close the branch.
The news was met with horror and sadness from residents, and was followed by the news that Benetton, Hoopers and jewellers Goldsmiths were all vacating Carlisle.
Despite the fears for the future of the city centre, Jaeger manager Lorraine Robins said the final day's trading on Saturday had a celebratory air to it.
Mrs Robins, who has worked at the Greenmarket store for 21-and-a-half years, provided drinks and nibbles for the customers. She said: "I put on a bit of a party to say thank you very much to the customers.
"Our customers have been very upset, partly because the store is closing but more because we have built up a rapport and become friends as well."
It is testament to the women who work in the shop – and to Jaeger as their employer – that there is no bitterness associated with the end of an era.
Mrs Robins said the real sadness comes from saying goodbye to colleagues.
She added: "We have had no staff turnover for 13 years, so we are all very close-knit. We will stay in touch, but it will be difficult not seeing each other every day as we have done for more than a decade."
Thanks to the company's early announcement of its intention to close the Carlisle store, the women have had six months to plan their futures.
"We all move on next week with new ventures," Mrs Robins continued. "One of the girls is going to Genevieve, another has a seat on the council, one girl is going to be a lady of leisure and I've started my own cleaning business."
The manager said she had had enough of retail and management, and because she "always liked cleaning", decided to give her new business venture a go.
Mrs Robins said loyal customers from Jaeger are already helping it start with a bang, saying: "I already have 10 clients, and they are all my customers from the shop."

If you have bladder cancer that has invaded the deeper layers of the bladder wall or if you've had recurrent tumors, you may require removal of your entire bladder (cystectomy) to control the disease. After cystectomy, a surgical procedure to construct a new bladder, known as neobladder reconstruction, may be an option for you.
Learn more about bladder cancer.
To create a neobladder, your surgeon first removes your cancerous bladder (cystectomy) and then takes a section of your intestine that is isolated and reshaped into a new bladder. Your surgeon may perform cystectomy with bladder reconstruction either through a traditional abdominal incision or with a robotic-assisted laparoscopic approach.
Your surgeon places the new bladder — neobladder — in the same location inside your body as your original bladder. The neobladder is attached to your ureters so that urine can drain from your kidneys to your new bladder. The other end of the neobladder is attached to your urethra. This reconstruction allows you to maintain a functional urinary tract.
