I think my last blog post focussed too much on the difficulty of Hells Hills and too little on what a good experience this trip was.
Here is the Katy House B&B, an amazing find in little Smithville. The former house, office and OR of the town surgeon. Bruce and Sallie have transformed it into a wonderful place for out-of-towners to stay and meet. Here is their website, if any of you are interested in staying there in the future.
Here is downtown Smithville, an old railway town (KT line: Kansas-Texas), turned into Antiquer's paradise.
SR, being European, loves big American lawns with palm trees, like this one in Austin.
The most beautiful thing of note in this picture is, of course, me.
Here's the beginning of the race day. Not only am I nervous about the race, but I'm also nervous about meeting Olga for the first time. I like this picture a lot because we are both tilting our heads to the right while smiling and happen to be exactly the same height. Who knew?
Happy running after the sun came out (I'm considering paying for this one).
My soon-to-be-champion husband.
By the end of the second 16.66 mile loop, Olga is looking happy and relaxed.
And I am surprised to see how happy I also look.
I think the girl sitting in the background is Meredith, who I have also gotten to know through this blog. She was volunteering! Thanks, Meredith. Sorry if that's not you.
A final moment of rest and good-bye to SR before the last loop. He is, as usual, fulfilling his duty as my manservant.
And the end! 9 hours and 42 minutes running and not a spot of dirt or blood on me. Amazing!
The ladies' "podium":
From left to right, Olga in 2nd, Juliet in 1st and SLG in 3rd.
One other heavenly part of our trip, was the wild love between these two brothers, Big Guy and The Lorax. Sometimes there are, after all, some other wonderful things in life besides running.

As head of a $7 billion hedge fund, Raj Rajaratnam's phone often rang off the hook, and many of the calls were from corporate insiders who provided a gold mine of market-moving information.
Unbeknownst to Rajaratnam, though, federal agents tapped his phone and the Wall Street titan was ultimately found guilty of perpetuating one of the largest cases of insider trading in history.
Born in Sri Lanka, Rajaratnam grew up to become a self-made millionaire. He founded Galleon Group, which became one of the world's largest and most powerful hedge funds. Galleon Group generated stellar returns for investors, but Rajaratnam's success wasn't built on his trading expertise alone. Rajaratnam tapped a vast network of Wall Street insiders to funnel him inside information.
Read on to go inside this Wall Street scandal!

PIMCO bond manager Bill Gross is warning investors that the Treasury's retreat from credit creation will slow down GDP and limit price/earnings ratios, depressing stocks and helping bonds.
Writing in his February monthly investment outlook, Gross said that a declining budget deficit and the beginning of the Federal Reserve's tapering of bond purchases are gradually withdrawing a significant source of growth in the economy — which could only be ameliorated through an increase in private sector activity.
But because such private sector activity has not been forthcoming, the PIMCO manager sees narrower economic horizons ahead, saying "the days of getting rich quickly are over, and the days of getting rich slowly may be as well."
The latest commentary from the manager of the world's largest bond fund reads like an edutaining lesson in basic finance, explaining through colorful examples the role credit plays in a modern economy.
Gross' thesis is that all the things people look at as measures of valuing stocks, bonds, home prices and the like — be they P/E ratios or interest rates — depend ultimately on the availability of credit.
In an island-based economy where crops could be traded for livestock, a hot commodity like marijuana might see its P/E ratio accelerate from 1 pig to 3 pigs, he humorously illustrates.
"In order to keep this system going," he writes, "you need more pigs or more credit in order to continue. But you're out of pigs. A funny thing now happens in this capitalistic South Sea island and mainly to the price of marijuana. It traded last year at 3 pigs to 1, but since you're out of pigs and credit, the price collapses. Grass goes to zero because there is no more credit; you have no more pigs to pay for it."
That dynamic of available credit and consumer demand plays out thusly in the money market:
"If there was only one dollar to lend and someone was desperate to have it, the interest rate would be usurious. If there was one trillion dollars of credit and no one was eager to borrow for some reason or another, then the rate would be .01% like it is today and for the past five years in my personal money market account."
And so it is in today's financial economy, where Federal Reserve credit expansion and government deficit spending have inflated U.S. credit to, officially, $57 trillion. Gross says that this credit expansion has fueled P/E ratios and GDP growth.
But, "with the deficit now down to $600 billion or so, the Treasury is fading as a source of credit growth," Gross writes.
And the Federal Reserve taper together with interest and mortgage rates some 150 basis points higher than they were in July 2012 have compounded the problem by slowing down the "velocity" of money.
The result he says is that "the U.S. and other similarly credit-based economies may find that future growth is not as robust as the IMF and other model-driven forecasters might assume."
This poses risks, possibly including what he describes as "the whisper word of 'deflation' at Davos." In this environment, "high-quality bonds will continue to be well bid and risk assets may lose some luster."
The bond manager, whose firm was battered in 2013 by more than $30 billion in outflows, sought to reassure investors that their investments would be well tended were they to remain with the Newport Beach-based asset manager:
"Stick with PIMCO. Believe me when I say, we are a better team at this moment than we were before," he writes, in a reference to a management shake-up that included the loss of co-CIO Mohamed El-Erian and elevation of former COO Douglas Hodge to CEO and other staff changes.
In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Gross elaborated on his views of a slowing down of financial markets, specifying he was buying 4- to 5-year Treasuries yielding a paltry 1.25% to 1.5%.

That Alabama reached the BCS title game isn't a surprise, although the path taken was. That the Crimson Tide's opponent is Notre Dame, was.
Alabama was the pre-season No. 2 -- barely behind Louisiana State -- in the USA Today Coaches poll. Those teams had played for the BCS championship in January (with Alabama winning 21-0). The Crimson Tide took over the top spot in the first 2012 regular-season poll and was No. 1 for 10 weeks.
But then came Texas A&M, which stunned Alabama 29-24 behind an effort that made an immediate Heisman Trophy contender of freshman quarterback Johnny Manziel.
All through the season, though, Notre Dame pulled itself into the national limelight. The Fighting Irish were 24th in the pre-season poll but improved their ranking each week -- not by huge jumps but three spots here, four there -- and by mid-season, Notre Dame reached the Top 10.
Still, the attention was on teams ranked higher than the Fighting Irish. Alabama's loss to Texas A&M moved Oregon to the No. 1 spot and Kansas State was second. Both were playing very well and, along with Notre Dame, were undefeated.
There was talk -- with that many teams without a loss -- of the Southeastern Conference being shut out of the BCS final for the first time since the January 2005 game.
But on Nov. 17 Kansas State fell by 28 points at Baylor and Oregon lost a 17-14 overtime decision to Stanford. Suddenly SEC rivals Alabama and Georgia were back at Nos. 2 and 3 in the rankings behind No. 1 Notre Dame.
The Fighting Irish finished an undefeated season with a win at Southern California and sat back to watch Georgia and Alabama meet in the SEC championship. The Crimson Tide won 32-28, setting up the Notre Dame-Alabama finale to be played Jan. 7 in Miami.
While the BCS didn't create controversy with its title game matchup, it still drew criticism as Mid-American Conference champion Northern Illinois earned a BCS bowl berth by finishing high enough in the BCS rankings and ahead of the champions of two so-called BCS conferences.
At 12-1 (the lone loss was a season-opening 18-17 loss to Iowa), no team had more wins than the Huskies and only one eligible team had fewer losses. But Northern Illinois also ended with one of the lowest ratings for strength of schedule, leading to questions about the team's overall ranking.
Detractors point to eight opponents (including Iowa) that lost eight or more games -- five of those who lost at least 10 games and just four foes with a winning record. One of those is Tennessee-Martin, which plays in the Football Championship Subdivision.
Northern Illinois, nonetheless, goes against Florida State in the Orange Bowl.
What was briefly seen as an interesting title game pairing turned out to be the Fiesta Bowl game where Kansas State and Oregon are to play. Other major bowl matchups have Louisville going against Florida in the Sugar Bowl; Texas A&M playing Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl; and Stanford playing Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl.
Wisconsin had five losses but earned its Rose Bowl berth with a 70-31 romp over Nebraska in the Big Ten title game. That the Badgers, who were third in the conference's Leaders Division, were playing that weekend occurred because Ohio State and Penn State were on probation.
Penn State's punishment was related to child-abuse charges against Jerry Sandusky, a former assistant football coach and the school's inability to address the allegation. It was seen that Penn State officials, including Coach Joe Paterno, refused to act in order to protect the reputation of the football program. Penn State, despite harsh sanctions, was 8-4 on the year and 6-2 in the Big Ten.
Ohio State's issues dated to 2010. Players allegedly received improper benefits and Coach Jim Tressel was found to have acted unethically in failing to report the infractions. The Buckeyes ended 2012 12-0, including an eight-game run through the Big Ten, under first-year Coach Urban Meyer but ineligible for post-season consideration.
North Dakota State is looking to repeat as NCAA Football Championship Series after winning its first title last season. The Bison have advanced to the NCAA Football Championship Series title game against Sam Houston State. The game is scheduled for Jan. 5 in Frisco, Texas.
North Dakota State improved to 13-1 when Brock Jensen scored on 5-yard quarterback sneak with about 3 minutes to play in a 23-20 win over Georgia Southern in an FCS semifinal. Sam Houston State (11-3) built a 35-0 lead by halftime and then held on to edge second-seeded Eastern Washington 45-42 in its semifinal.

The BCS continues to refine its championship determination. In November the group announced plans for a four-team playoffs beginning in the 2014-15 season. The teams will be selected by a BCS committee.
Manziel was voted the Heisman Trophy as the top player in college football. Voters went against tradition in selecting a freshman but Manziel led Texas A&M to a 10-2 record. He completed 273-of-400 passes for 3,419 yards and 24 touchdowns against eight interceptions. He also rushed for 1,181 yards and 19 touchdowns on 184 carries.
Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o and Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein were invited to New York as Heisman Trophy finalists. Te'o was a fairly close second to Manziel in the voting, however.
Te'o collected the Maxwell Award and the Walter Camp Award, presented to the collegiate player of the year. He also won the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Chuck Bednarik Award as the top defensive player and the Dick Butkus Award as the best linebacker and the Rotary Lombardi Trophy for defensive linemen.
Manziel won the Dave O'Brien Award for top quarterback and Klein was voted the Johnny Unitas Award as the top senior quarterback. Colby Cameron of Louisiana Tech was present the Sammy Baugh Trophy as the top passer.
Wisconsin's Monte Ball took the Doak Walker Award as the best running back while Southern Cal's Marqise Lee won the Fred Biletnikoff Award (wide receiver), Notre Dame's Tyler Eifert the John Mackey Award (tight end); Barrett Jones from Alabama was voted the Dave Rimington Trophy (center); and Texas A&M's Luke Joeckel the Outland Trophy (interior lineman).
South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney won the Ted Hendricks Award for defensive ends and Johnthan Banks from Mississippi State took the Jim Thorpe Award for defensive backs.
For special teams, the Lou Groza Award for placekickers was won by Cairo Santos from Tulane and the Ray Guy Award, presented to the top punter, was won by Ryan Allen of Louisiana Tech.
Notre Dame's Brian Kelly won the Home Depot Coach of the Year, Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year (football writers) and Sporting News Coach of the Year awards.

Which app have been updated to look great on the new iPad's impressive 2048x1536 Retina display? Not very many yet by our count, but we expect the floodgates to open when Apple's third generation tablet actually hits the shelves next Friday, and for a steady stream to follow thereafter.
As Marc Edwards of Bjango wrote for us before, it might take a while for all our favorite apps to update, especially ones that use a lot of custom graphics for their user interfaces, and especially ones that didn't prepare for @2x Retina graphics by building all their assets in a scalable format to begin with.
Apple has already updated a ton of their apps already, including Pages, Keynote, Numbers, GarageBand, iMovie, iWork, Apple Remote, Find My Friends, etc. but they knew this was coming for a while now.
Marc's keeping track of Retina-ready apps, and sharing screen shots of apps-in-progress over on Twitter @RetinaiPadApps and we're also going to maintain a count in our iPad Apps & Games Forums as well.
So head over there and join in our official iMore iPad Retina apps watch-list and as soon as you find your favorite apps have updated for Retina, let us know!

: : : : : : : : : : I woke up two days ago and the right side of my face no longer worked. I went to my family doctor and he informed me it was bells palsey, and the only thing i can do is exercise my face and hope the muscle function will return. What is it? what caused it? And what can I do about it?
: : : : : : Hi, This is usually due to a virus and the virus causes swelling of some tissues that compresses the nerve to the face. The treatment is to decrease the swelling and take away the inflammation. Hyperbaric oxygen treatments can relieve the problem if you get at it immediately.
: : : : : : : : : : : What causes the virus? My boyfriend was just diagnosed with Bells Palsey and was prescribed steroids. He was told he should (could) regain most or all of his facial muscle control in approximately 2 - 3 weeks. I am concerned. What else can we do? Can this be caused by stress?
: : : : Hi, I also have diagnosed with Bells Palsey, one week ago, and have recieved the same above information. I was prescribed Prednizone (steriod) within one day of being affliced and it has helped significantly. I've been told that early diagnosis and early treatment is very important. I have not, however, been adviserd to exercise my facial muscles but I have done so as I assumed that it dwould help. The most important warning that I have been given is to make sure that you kep your eye lubricated. If your eye is not closing properly then taping it shut at night is very important. Preventing damage to the eye is very critical.: : :
: : : Ithink that I might have Bells Palsey and Im just wondering if anyone knows if it could be caused by delivering a baby and if so who should i contact to get treatment? My ob/gyn or a general practitioner?
: : I woke up yesterday the right side of my face was parylized. I went to my GP and a neurologist and they both said it was bells palsey and that it would go away eventually. Ive been prescribed steroids and Im also taking vitamin B12. My cousin had BP for 6 weeks she went to a chiropractor for facial massage 3 times a week and hers went away.
: well after readibg the se replys i decided to add my two cents. as with the rest of the folks that responded, i think all of us were more than concerned when we discovered what had onset us. I have read several medical journals and all of them stated that prednisone was the most common treatment. i have to believe in the exercise method as we all know , EXERCISE Works. I* have what i consider a mild case of BP and believe me it truly is annoying. oh well I'll try to add moes as the symptoms begin to subside,
::::::::My hubby was perfectly fine on Saturday afternoon by Saturday evening the right side of his face seemed to droop a little. Then by Sunday a.m. it was drooping alot. Went to ER, guess what.... "BP". What a pain -- literally?? Does anyone else have the aching in the jaw and forehead? He definitely is not looking forward to 2wks to 6mos of this parasite. Ditto... to all symptoms and prognoses. He is doing the exercises/the eye treatments but no drugs except for pain. The Neurologist said that it will depart by itself that the medications don't make that much difference. Thanks for the vent.

Student or Learner
Should Students Have after School Jobs? Please provide your opinion on merits and demerits of part – time jobs for students.
The idea of students doing part-time jobs is an old rather controversial one. People are having mixed opinion in this regard. Those who favor this notion believe that part-time jobs can better train the youngsters about the practical life scenarios. Part-time jobs can also help meeting financial needs of students. However, to some, part-time jobs have an adverse effect on the education of the individuals as they lose the concentration on their studies. I am in favor of part-time jobs for students based on below mentioned opinions.
Students will have to start their practical life eventually to earn their bread and butter. Those having a job from a high school can develop the positive attitude towards workplace. They know the notions of hard work, responsibility and commitment better than others which will play a vital role in securing a good job. Employers prefer the graduates with some prior working experience over fresh candidates as they will be more effective in less time. Part-time jobs can be more effective if these are related to student's area of studies as everything cannot be taught through theory and a real-world implementation of the concepts can make a huge difference in terms of learning.
Students who are less fortunate in terms of financial stability can use part-time jobs to continue their studies. Getting a quality education requires more financial resources which are out of reach for many. I myself used to teach Mathematics and Physics to meet my personal expenses when in college. Part-time jobs can also help realization of future objectives in terms of career selection.
Although in some cases, people with part time jobs tend to be very weak in studies and cannot secure good grades which will affect their education; but appropriate measures from parents and teachers can help those individuals. Students start developing independent decision making skills can lead to problems and sometimes money can steer them away from the studies.
In conclusion, part-time working has both merits and demerits but the merits greatly overweigh the opposite. So I believe that students should be doing part-time jobs in high school.

seointern necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 14 diseños de 5 diseñadores freelance.
We're looking to capitalize on a concept & need a quick turnaround. This should be a simple design as we've put some previous thought into it.
The American People that are tired of congress spending our tax dollars unwisely.
We'd like to take this concept: http://www.inorout2010.com/ & turn it into a more interactive map based on the results of the oath. Something similar to the 2008 campaign maps: http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/r…t/map.html
We're planning on building the site in WordPress, but more or less here are our thoughts so far:
1. The map needs to be the center focus of the design. The map will need to show the states that are 'In' or 'Out' or still undecided. This will be determined by the results from Congress for each state (most likely another page after the majority have responded to the oath.) After clicking on a state, users would be taken to that states page, with more information about their congress & the choice on the oath.
2. As mentioned this will be built in WordPress, so we'll want to have a section to include blog posts.
3. We will be doing some advertising on this site & will need a location for an AdSense block as well as an Amazon widget.
4. Incorporated into the design we'd like to have the "Oath" & Glenn's video explaining the campaign.
We are looking for a quick turnaround time on this project & will most likely be awarding the winning design before it finishes. After viewing the first few designs I plan on Guaranteeing the contest.

Step Away From the Plastic Bag
My lunch embarrassed me.
While my colleagues unpacked glass jars of noodles and opened cans of soup into ceramic bowls, I ate carrots out of a plastic sandwich bag—hidden in my lunch tote. I had plastic guilt.
My family packed—and trashed—as many as 10 plastic sandwich bags a day, and I knew I needed an alternative. Washing, drying, and reusing every sandwich bag would be a tough sell in my household. Bags made with recycled plastic or wax paper weren't enough of a switch. Glass containers were a reliable standby—but not practical to stash in my 6-year-old's lunch.
Where to start? Contrary to its name, reusablebags.com sells more than sandwich-bag alternatives. The site offers environment-friendly containers, dishes, utensils, and other household products from many small, often family-owned businesses with names like SnackTAXI and 3greenmoms. Other informational sites with retail links include biggreenpurse.com and wastefreelunches.org.
I picked fabric, a popular—and lightweight—option. Most cloth bags come in sandwich and snack sizes and function like envelopes with a fold-over flap and a Velcro seal. Designs cater to all ages, ranging from cartoonish animals, cars, and fruit slices to polka dots, stripes, and of course, solid colors. Some brands use a heavier, dishwasher-ready cotton that wipes clean and dries fast; others, easily thrown in the laundry, could have come right off my sewing machine (note to self: Try this at home). At $6 to $9 each, buying just a few adds up, but they'll last well beyond that $4 box of 100 plastic sandwich bags in the pantry.
I also bought a lined cloth place mat ($8.95) that folds over its contents, sealed with Velcro. It's especially handy for lunch on the ferry or any other spot where numerous other people may have eaten before you. A set of three nesting stainless-steel containers ($23.95) can replace plastic dishes and hold fruit, salad, and other foods requiring utensils. The down side: They don't go in the microwave.
Now if I can just get used to hauling around a glass dish of soup in my bike bag.

Victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps last weekend signaled the resumption of MLS action for the Colorado Rapids, which continues this Friday with the home game against Columbus Crew. This meeting with the Crew, on 4th July, is the last home game for the Rapids until the end of the month.
This week's Rapids Podcast looks to the Crew contest, reflects on the World Cup exit for the USA, through the eyes of the Rapids players and welcomes the arrival of Carlos Alvarez, and how he might fit into Pablo Mastroeni's plans.
Co-hosts David Lindholm and Richard Fleming discuss these subjects, as well as offering up the 'Numpty of the Week'.

GENEVA (Reuters) - Human activity kept global temperatures close to a record high in 2011 despite the cooling influence of a powerful La Nina weather pattern, the World Meteorological Organization said on Friday.
On average, global temperatures in 2011 were lower than the record level hit the previous year but were still 0.40 degrees Centigrade above the 1961-1990 average and the 11th highest on record, the report said.
WMO Secretary-General Michel Jarraud warned that the consequences of global warming could be permanent. "The world is warming because of human activities and this is resulting in far-reaching and potentially irreversible impact on our Earth, atmosphere and oceans," he said.
La Nina, a natural weather phenomenon linked to heavy rains and flooding in the Asia-Pacific and South America and drought in Africa, was one of the strongest in the past 60 years and stayed active in the tropical Pacific until May 2011.
Further signs of man's contribution to climate change will put the biggest polluters in the spotlight after they agreed for the first time last December at U.N. climate talks in Durban to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
Critics of the agreement have said that the plan was too timid to slow global warming.
The WMO, part of the United Nations, said that elevated temperatures had contributed to extreme weather conditions such as intense droughts and flooding and droughts in east Africa and North America.
Global tropical cyclone activity was below average last year but the United States had one of the most destructive tornado seasons on record, the report said.
Another impact of high temperatures was shrinking Arctic sea ice and its extent was the second-lowest minimum on record and the volume was the lowest.
The WMO also said that the decade between 2001-1010 was the warmest ever recorded across all of the world's continents ahead of the release of its 'Decadal Global Climate Summary'.
2010 tied for the warmest year since data started in 1880, capping a decade of record high temperatures that shows mankind's greenhouse gas emissions are heating the planet, two U.S. agencies said.

- Using the DataSet Designer to create a strongly-typed DataSet based on your database.
- Extending the DataSet by adding additional methods.
- Saving, and using, the DataSet as a Class Library.
- Building a WinForm Application, initially with a DataGridView.
- Using BindingSources with the DataSet.
- Synchronizing DataTables of the DataSet to create Master/Details Forms.
- Using TableAdapters to update the database from the DataSet.
- Synchronizing two forms.
- You need to be confident with C# fundamentals - an 'advanced beginner' possibly.
- Some familiarity with WinForms is required, although I will guide you through the use of a DataGridView.
- Some familiarity with ADO.NET is needed. For example, knowing the difference between a DataSet and DataTable.
- You need to know how to design, build, and connect to a database.
This last requirement is necessary because, although I provide enough information to build my sample database, I leave the details of which database to use up-to you. I used SQL Server Express but you could use SQL Server, Compact Edition, a SQL localdb, SQLite, etc.. A necessary step is that you must be able to connect to the database from the Database Explorer (or Server Explorer) Window, so that it is then displayed in that window. Necessary, because we need to drag it from that window onto the DataSet Designer surface. (It is possible to build the DataSet without dragging, but I don't explore this in the tutorial.)
Hint: Whichever database you will use, create a database (CREATE DATABASE StaffDB) and check that you can connect to it from the Database Explorer window, and that it then appears in its databases-list. Then you can go back to it and build the tables.
You could use a database of your own if you want; as long as it contains a couple of tables with relationships between them you should be able to follow along.
Why no database guidance?
There are many ways to work with a database and, unfortunately, there isn't one that can be considered as the right way. These include:
- Dropping back to the dark-ages with ADO and recordsets.
- ADO.NET - the connected layer: using connection, commands, DataReaders and executing queries.
- ADO.NET - the disconnected layer: Filling DataSets and updating with data adapters.
- The drag-and-drop approach: dragging a DataGridView onto a form and using its Tasks button to assign a DataSource.
- Creating a strongly-typed DataSet as we will do.
- Manually building a strongly-typed DataSet, or object-model, to work with the database. That is, providing a DAL - a Data Access Layer.
- Using an ORM (object-relational mapping) framework such as the Entity Framework or NHibernate (there are others).
wiki said:
A data access layer (DAL) in computer software, is a layer of a computer program which provides simplified access to data stored in persistent storage of some kind, such as an entity-relational database. This acronym is prevalently used in Microsoft ASP.NET environments.
DAL is a term that Microsoft made up (I suspect). The intention is that we write code against a model of the database, which uses familiar OOP concepts and objects, rather than communicating with the database directly. That is, as OOP-whizzes, we want to instantiate objects and invoke methods of these objects, not to grapple with unfamiliar (and database-specific) SQL-statements. cf. code separation.
The ideal is that we extract all the database-specific code, and sql-statements, into a data-layer which we can ignore. If all goes well then we should, in principle, be able to switch this low-level layer from, say, SQL Server to Oracle (or MySql..) with the minimum of fuss; perhaps even just with a single change from one connection-string to another.
For me, creating a strongly-typed DataSet using the DataSet Designer is a further step to understanding database-interaction, and data-binding. If you do some searching you will discover some dissenting voices about this process. In particular, the use of, and trust in, the DataSet Designer. If, after this tutorial, this is an approach that you wish to consider then you should do some further research.
Even if you should decide not to pursue this particular approach I believe there is a lot to be learnt here. In particular, I believe it provides a good stepping-stone before examining something as big as the Entity Framework.
My Database
You might add an additional field to this table bonus bit NULL. I added this to the typed-DataSet later-on using the steps given in the spoiler. I'll leave it up-to you if you feel happy to leave this until later.
Staff Table
Department Table
Edited: HolidayID should be the primary key.
Holiday Table
Creating Our Class Library
Create a new Class Library Project named StaffDAL. Planning ahead, you'll want to save it in an accessible area. Use Solution Explorer to delete the default class-file that it creates.
Make sure the Database Explorer window is open and pinned and use it to connect to the database (or one of your own) so that it appears in the list. Expand the tables folder.
Go to the Project menu, Add New Item, (possibly) the Data area on the left, and choose DataSet. Name it StaffDS. Drag the tables from the Database Window onto the Design surface. The DataSet Designer should be populated with DataTables that mirror the database-tables.
If you show all files in Solution Explorer and open StaffDS.Designer.cs you'll see some of the magic that's just happened. My version has 3480 lines of code!! DO NOT CHANGE THIS FILE. Once you've had a glance through it make sure that you close it.
This file should not be changed. Even if you were adventurous enough to do this your changes will be over-written when its re-built.
Creating and Editing Typed Datasets
If you double-click an empty area of the DataSet Designer (or right-click StaffDS.cs in Solution Explorer and choose View Code) you should find this:
Partial Class StaffDS End Class
Notice that this is a partial class. We can extend our DataSet by adding additional members here - NOT in the designer file.
A strongly-typed DataSet does not on its own (in my opinion) constitute a DAL. Yes, it does provide a level of abstraction, but you will notice in several places in my code that I refer to fields as strings ("StaffID") and we still need to have some understanding of the underlying structure and data. (Admittedly, our example needs to be kept to a reasonable size.) If we continued to extend our Class Library then it could, eventually, be considered a DAL.
The term DAL is not formalized enough to define what constitues a 'layer'. If we cannot see any sql, and we use objects, their methods and properties (with limited use of strings), then I would consider this a 'layer'. But this is just a casual remark, seek out wikipedia for more considered definitions.
Add the following method that we will use to fully populate our DataSet from the database.
Partial Class StaffDS Shared Sub PopulateStaff(ByVal pStaffDS As StaffDS) Dim adaptStaff As New StaffDSTableAdapters.StaffTableAdapter() adaptStaff.Fill(pStaffDS.Staff) Dim adaptDepts As New StaffDSTableAdapters.DepartmentTableAdapter() adaptDepts.Fill(pStaffDS.Department) Dim adaptHols As New StaffDSTableAdapters.HolidayTableAdapter() adaptHols.Fill(pStaffDS.Holiday) End Sub End Class
Notice that we have explicitly (strongly)-typed TableAdapters, one for each table (DataTable) of our DataSet. (We also have a TableAdapterManager which can be used to perform hierarchical updates; that is, across several related tables.)
Choose the View menu, Class View (in Express) to discover more about our class-library.
Save, Build (for Release) and Close our library.
Using Our Library
Create a new WinForm Application named StaffApp1 (or whatever you fancy). Rename the form to frmStaff.
Go to the Project menu, Add Reference. You will probably need to click Browse.. and track down our library. You are looking for the .dll file which will be in the bin folder, and either the Release or Debug folder. Tick it.
In the form's class-file you can add:
Imports StaffDAL
Design the form (frmStaff) shown earlier. I use fairly obvious names:
btnFirst, btnPrev, txtFullName, dgvStaff (the DataGridView)
Full code of the form: (for reference)
Imports StaffDAL Public Class frmStaff Private _staffDS As New StaffDS() Private _bsStaff As New BindingSource() Private _bsDept As New BindingSource()
I try to keep the number of instance-variables (fields) of a form to a minimum, mainly just for objects that need to persist throughout the lifetime of the form.
We need a new instance of our typed-DataSet. Originally I also held references to a StaffDataTable and DepartmentDataTable, but these are always available as _staffDS.Staff and _staffDS.Department anyway. I do, however, create a useful local reference in the Load event (_staffDT).
BindingSource Class :MSDN

Encapsulates the data source for a form.
The BindingSource component serves many purposes. First, it simplifies binding controls on a form to data by providing currency management, change notification, and other services between Windows Forms controls and data sources.
In addition, the BindingSource component can act as a strongly typed data source.

The BindingSource is fab. It is what Microsoft encourages us to use and performs the roles previously worked by a CurrencyManager and BindingContext (and more).
Currency Management is nothing to do with pounds and pence. it is about maintaining a list by keeping track of the current item. The current item's Position.
Private Sub frmStaff_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load StaffDS.PopulateStaff(_staffDS) Dim _staffDT As StaffDS.StaffDataTable = _staffDS.Staff
In the Load-event we call the method that we built earlier (in our library) to populate all three of our DataTables. We shouldn't always do this so you could add methods to the library to populate individual DataTables.
As part of our progress towards a DAL I would move all uses of our TableAdapters into the library as methods.
'add a calculated column to Staff DataTable Dim cFullName As DataColumn = New DataColumn() cFullName.DataType = System.Type.GetType("System.String") cFullName.ColumnName = "FullName" cFullName.Expression = "FirstName+' '+LastName" _staffDS.Staff.Columns.Add(cFullName)
I want to use a TextBox on our form to display the fullname of the current staff-member; that is, the one currently selected in the DGV (DataGridView). We cannot bind a control to an expression. I (very briefly) thought about having two hidden textboxes displaying the first and last-name, and a third one to concatenate them. But I would then have had to use some event(s) to update the textbox's Text. Very messy.
The expression could be added as a calculated-field in the (database) table. I don't want to change the database design just to enable a simple expression.
It should, I believe, be possible to add the expression into our library. It wasn't obvious how this could be achieved, or how complicated it might be. Expression is the solution to this. StaffDS.Staff is, after all, still a DataTable, so there is no reason why we cannot added, or remove, columns. We can then simply refer to this new column in the TextBox (even though it won't be displayed in the DGV).
It is possible to add queries to our TableAdapters and to use LINQ to DataSets.
_bsStaff.DataSource = _staffDS _bsStaff.DataMember = _staffDT.TableName _bsDept.DataSource = _staffDS _bsDept.DataMember = _staffDS.Department.TableName
The DataSource for both of our BindingSources is the same DataSet. The DataMember identifies the particular DataTable to bind to. (Remember that _staffDT is a local reference to _staffDS.Staff.)
In actuality, we are binding to a list which could be, practically, any kind of list. It is this list that the BindingSource will maintain currency for; that is, maintain the current position of.
dgvStaff.AutoGenerateColumns = False Dim colID As DataGridViewTextBoxColumn = New DataGridViewTextBoxColumn() colID.DataPropertyName = _staffDT.StaffIDColumn.ColumnName 'or just "StaffID" colID.HeaderText = _staffDT.StaffIDColumn.ColumnName dgvStaff.Columns.Add(colID)
If you want to test this quickly you could set AutoGenerateColumns to true and remove all the code that defines the individual columns. You would just need this line at the bottom of the Load event:
dgvStaff.DataSource = _bsStaff
This works (and is a better demonstration of code-separation) but I set out to use the DGV with a particular, and very common, aim in mind. If you were to try the auto-generated version it would just display the DeptID number. I want it to display the Department-name, and use a combobox so that I can select a different Department.
We could autogenerate the columns, then remove and insert a new one for the Department. This is messy and, besides, I want to format some of the columns, and also use a Checkbox for Bonus.
Unfortunately, we now need to specify the columns individually. This is a step-back from the code-separation we are keen on. [I suppose it would be possible to add some (perhaps complicated) code to our library that matches data-types to DGV column-types, and other column properties.]
Dim colID As DataGridViewTextBoxColumn = New DataGridViewTextBoxColumn() colID.DataPropertyName = _staffDT.StaffIDColumn.ColumnName 'or just "StaffID" colID.HeaderText = _staffDT.StaffIDColumn.ColumnName dgvStaff.Columns.Add(colID)
Is StaffIDColumn.ColumnName better than just "StaffID"? It is more OOP but I can't see that we are gaining much. For our simple application/demonstration we can use either.
I'll leave you to study the other column definitions, so let's have a look at the DeptID:
Dim colDept As DataGridViewComboBoxColumn = New DataGridViewComboBoxColumn() colDept.DataPropertyName = "DeptID" colDept.HeaderText = "Department" colDept.DataSource = _bsDept colDept.ValueMember = "DeptID" colDept.DisplayMember = "Department" colDept.DefaultCellStyle.NullValue = "(please select)" dgvStaff.Columns.Add(colDept)
DataPropertyName is the name of the data source property or database column to which the column is bound. Because we have our DataSet it is the data source property (which corresponds to a database column).
ValueMember is the value that will be retrieved, and stored, from the drop-down list.
DisplayMember is what we will see in the combobox.
NullValue is some temporary text (or value) that we can display if the cell is blank (or the database-field is null).
For existing Staff how does it know which Department to display? Because:
- The DataSource for both BindingSources is the same DataSet
- The DataMember (the list) for each is a different DataTable but..
- The DataTables are related.
When we built our DataSet, Relations between the DataTables were created that mirror the relationships between the database-tables.
Each BindingSource only has one CurrencyManager. It can only maintain the current position of a single item in its list. While the cursor is in a particular row of the DGV a particular item is selected in the combobox. Therefore, to synchronize two lists, we will always need two BindingSources. They remain synchronized by means of a relation between them (or BindingSources can be chained - see the second form example).
dgvStaff.DataSource = _bsStaff txtFullName.DataBindings.Add("Text", _bsStaff, "FullName")
The first line is what keeps the DataSet in-synch with the DGV. The second is how we bind a single control (other than a DGV or other list-source) to a single data-member (FullName). It is actually the "Text" property of the TextBox that is bound to the data-member.
Private Sub btnFirst_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnFirst.Click _bsStaff.MoveFirst() End Sub Private Sub btnPrev_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnPrev.Click _bsStaff.MovePrevious() End Sub
Changing the Position of the BindingSource has the same effect in the DGV. A BindingSource is very well behaved and doesn't cause an error if, for example, there is no previous item.
Homework: However, using AddNew() twice in succession will cause an exception. You should consider adding exception handling code, together with EndEdit() as seen in the following code. Given this, I think it sensible to at least use a try-catch block for each of these calls.
There is a BindingNavigator Control if you prefer. But it is simple enough to create our own version, which we might create as a custom control.
Private Sub btnSaveAll_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnSaveAll.Click Dim adaptStaff As New StaffDAL.StaffDSTableAdapters.StaffTableAdapter() Try _bsStaff.EndEdit() If _staffDS.HasChanges Then adaptStaff.Update(_staffDS.Staff) Else MessageBox.Show("Nothing has changed.") End If Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show("Update failed: \n" + ex.Message) End Try End Sub
The BindingSource automatically keeps the DGV and DataSet in step. TableAdapters are then used to Update the database-tables to reflect the current state of the DataTables. The above code, and the following, could be methods within our library.
Private Sub btnCancelChanges_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnCancelChanges.Click Dim adaptStaff As New StaffDAL.StaffDSTableAdapters.StaffTableAdapter() _bsStaff.CancelEdit() _bsStaff.ResetCurrentItem() _bsStaff.ResetBindings(False) adaptStaff.Fill(_staffDS.Staff) End Sub
Notice that when you run the form you can click on the DGV column headings to sort, and the BindingSource keeps the DataSet in-sync.
The Second Form
Private Sub btnNextForm_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnNextForm.Click Dim frm2 = New frmNext2(_staffDS, _bsStaff) frm2.Show(Me) End Sub
The second form (image shown earlier) is passed the DataSet and the Staff BindingSource. Neither is essential but by passing, in particular, the BindingSource they share it - and the two forms remain in-sync. If you position the forms next to each other then you will notice this more easily.
Full code for second form:
In this form I wanted to use standard Controls for the Staff details, and a DGV to show related holiday details. As Next or Previous are clicked the Holiday details change to reflect the current staff-member. New holiday details will also be stored for this staff-member.
Private _bsHols As BindingSource = New BindingSource()
We need a new BindingSource for the holiday details.
Public Sub New(ByVal pStaffDS As StaffDS, ByVal bsStaff As BindingSource) InitializeComponent() _staffDS = pStaffDS _bsStaff = bsStaff End Sub Private Sub frmNext2_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load txtFirstName.DataBindings.Add("Text", _bsStaff, "FirstName") txtLastName.DataBindings.Add("Text", _bsStaff, "LastName") _bsHols.DataSource = _bsStaff _bsHols.DataMember = "FK_Holiday_Staff" dgvHols.AutoGenerateColumns = True dgvHols.DataSource = _bsHols End Sub
The Holidays BindingSource has its DataSource set to the Staff BindingSource; the BindingSources are chained.
The DataMember of the Holidays BindingSource is set to a Relation. It is the name of the foreign-key constraint in the Holidays table, which, more importantly, the DataSet Designer also uses as the name of a Relation in the DataSet. You may need to check this name in the library (or the database).
In the DataSet Designer you can point at a line between tables and the name of the Relation will appear.
The DataMember refers to a list. "FK_Holiday_Staff" is the name of a DataSet-Relation which identifies this list.
Study the rest of the code, it is not too dissimilar to that for the the first form.

The Fort Sill Apache Tribe is comprised of the descendants of the Chiricahua and Warm Springs Apaches who lived in southwestern New Mexico, southeastern Arizona and northern Mexico until they were removed from their homelands and held as Prisoners of War by the United States from 1886–1914. Fort Sill Apache Tribal members are descended from 81 former Prisoners of War who received allotments in Oklahoma after their release.
The tribe's territory includes trust lands in southwestern Oklahoma and southeastern Arizona. Its Federally recognized reservation is located at Akela, New Mexico in the heart of its historic aboriginal territory. The tribal headquarters is located two miles north of Apache, Oklahoma.
The tribe consists of about 670 tribal members, about half over the age of 18. Roughly 300 live in Oklahoma, the rest are spread across the United States, England, and Puerto Rico.

Georgia Revolutionists were fierce in keeping the British at bay in Georgia. My 4th great-grandfather, Capt. John Cutler Braddock, as a galley commander was one of the fiercest. There were many other Georgians, however, who, by dictate of conscience, chose to remain Loyal to the Crown.
You may be surprised to learn that Benjamin Franklin's son was a staunch Loyalist. They paid dearly for their loyalty.
On August 19, 1783, the Assembly of the State of Georgia passed an Act of Attainder, Banishments and Confistication that took from all known Loyalists, property they held in Georgia and banished them from the state. Most fled to the British province of East Florida and from there to England and to British held islands in the Caribbean, primarily the Bahamas. Notice of the Act was published in the Georgia Gazette followed by a list of 225 names of Georgia Loyalists.
The list included the last Royal Governor of Georgia, Sir James Wright, Lt. Gov. John Graham, and members of their council along with all other officials of the displaced government. Many on the list went on to become successful leaders in their places of exile. One such man was William Lyford Jr., uncle to the aforesaid John Cutler Braddock. He received several large grants in the Bahamas for his service to British naval operations in the Southeast and for being one of the planners and participants of Col. Andrew DeVeaux's famous raid that drove the Spanish from Nassau in 1783. The exclusive residential resort Lyford Cay, home of international best-selling author Arthur Hailey and actor Sean Connery, is located on one of the Grants.

After two Senate races and a presidential campaign over two years, Massachusetts voters had election fatigueto begin with. The field of candidates that emerged to vie for John Kerry's Senate seat did little to electrify the electorate. Then came the Boston Marathon bombing, knocking the candidates off the trail and the campaign out of the news two weeks before the primary.
After two Senate races and a presidential campaign over two years, Massachusetts voters had election fatigueto begin with. The field of candidates that emerged to vie for John Kerry's Senate seat did little to electrify the electorate. Then came the Boston Marathon bombing, knocking the candidates off the trail and the campaign out of the news two weeks before the primary.
That primary is Tuesday, and the state now finds itself facing a special election similar to the 2010 contest to fill the late Ted Kennedy's seat: a distracted electorate, an under-the-radar campaign, a low turnout and, perhaps, a surprise.
Before that happens, let's look at the five candidates – all white, all male, no movie stars or celebrities with a national following – seeking their parties' nominations.
The Democratic race features a pair of long-time House members, Ed Markey of Malden and Stephen Lynch of South Boston. Congress isn't especially popular with voters, which may be why Lynch spends so much time reminding people of things he used to be: a poor kid in the Southie projects, a union ironworker, a law student in night school. Markey has been in Congress so long – 36 years – that even he may have trouble remembering what he was before he went to Washington.
In two debates this week, Lynch and Markey tried to distinguish themselves from each other, without much success. On style, neither sparkles with elegance or wit. Markey has a herky-jerky speaking style and a weakness for over-crafted sound bytes. Lynch wanders around in his answers, and sometimes seems to get lost.
Both have long records, and they spent most of the debates attacking each other for voting the wrong way on this or that resolution or bill. Markey went after Lynch for voting against Obamacare. Lynch went after Markey for voting against a seaport security bill. Each defended himself, but the problem for an incumbent legislator is that the explanations for why he voted this way or that on a particular provision at a specific point in the legislative process tend to remind people of what they don't like about legislators. Besides, on issues there isn't a lot of difference between the two.
Lynch and Markey fought to a draw over their voting records, obscuring the most important distinction between them.
There are two kinds of Congress members: those who vote on legislation and those who write legislation. John Kerry, it can be argued, mostly voted on legislation. Ted Kennedy wrote some of the most important laws of the last half-century, and was a player in nearly every Senate drama.
Lynch leans on his biography and his voting record because he hasn't written any bills anyone would remember. "Ed's a policy guy; I'm a people guy," he said in one of the debates, which is another way of saying he may have no legislative achievements, but he's great at constituent service.
Markey writes legislation. He has chaired major committees, developing policy expertise and producing significant laws, especially in telecommunications, energy, environmental protection and financial regulation. For decades, he's been a real player in the House, while Lynch has been mostly a spectator.
That experience cuts both ways. Markey can bend your ear for hours over the central role he's played in the telecommunications revolution, from the breakup of Ma Bell to the future of streaming video. He has done significant work in a field that's important to a state that depends on technology and innovation. But that also gives Lynch the opening to blame Markey for the fact that some cable TV customers in Pittsfield can't watch the Red Sox games.
Markey's advantage is a record that shows he's very good at doing his job: writing legislation, holding hearings, building coalitions, getting bills passed. His disadvantage is that a lot of voters prefer speech-making over legislative sausage-making; they like steelworkers more than politicians. If you don't appreciate the importance of the job, you aren't much impressed that someone is good at it.
The three Republican candidates, short on money and name-recognition to begin with, have been hurt even more by the public's inattention to the Senate campaign.
The Republicans have strengths, but the ideological cracks that are widening in the national GOP are pronounced here in Massachusetts as well. Republican moderates, libertarians and traditionalists all have a place in the state GOP's tent, but getting them to agree on a candidate who can attract enough independents and Democrats to win isn't easy.
Michael Sullivan is a former U.S. attorney with a traditionalist stance on social issues that would make him at home among most Washington Republicans. He's pro-life and anti-gun control, which help in the primary but could hurt him in the general election.
Dan Winslow is a former judge, a former chief counsel to Gov. Mitt Romney, and a state rep from Wrentham who has brought an infusion of ideas and energy to Beacon Hill's small band of Republican legislators. He's the libertarian candidate, mixing fiscal conservatism with support for abortion rights and same-sex marriage.
Gabriel Gomez is a fresh face in Bay State politics, running mostly on his background as a former Navy SEAL and current hedge fund investor. On the issues, he has shown flexibility, to say the least. He sent a letter to Gov. Deval Patrick promising to support Democrats' positions on gun control and immigration if Patrick would appoint him interim senator, which didn't exactly endear him to the partisans who vote in Republican primaries.
Gomez stands out in this gray crowd because he's young, Hispanic and good-looking. You might think of him as Scott Brown without Brown's political experience. Unfortunately, he also seems to lack Brown's ease in cozying up to voters and the campaign warchest that helped Brown shock the political world in January 2010.
In that race, remember, the primary campaigns were a snooze, followed by a general election campaign that, after voters began paying attention, was brief but intense. That was followed by a much longer, but equally intense battle between Brown and Elizabeth Warren.
The surprise this time will be if many voters bother to go to the polls on Tuesday, and if either of the nominees can kindle excitement in a burned out and distracted electorate.
