text: Our Verdict It might have its plus points, but the Toshiba doesn't shine in this competitive class For Reasonably clear sound good blacks decent all-round picture Against Intermittent buzzing some instability lacks detailing Reviewed on 11th August 2009 In recent years we've become accustomed to Toshiba tellies that rarely push the envelope in terms of performance and technology, but that often prove solid and affordable. The 26AV615DB continues that trend. There's little to write home about in styling terms or features. There are three HDMI inputs but no 1080p support or digital media-friendly connections. And abundant picture options combine with obtrusive menus to make calibration difficult. A watchable, enjoyable picturePlay the Doubt Blu-ray and the set's black performance is impressive, with the moody interiors and Sisters' habits appearing deep yet revealing. There's strong punch too, even if whites aren't quite the purest we've seen. It's not the most detailed picture, though, and colour reproduction isn't subtle enough to reproduce the pale skin tones perfectly.Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull shows similar traits: a touch soft and unsubtle compared with the very best, and with a minor amount of instability at times, but generally watchable and enjoyable. More after the break Images suffer from instabilityThe instability remains when you put the Toshiba through the horror of showing the Bargain Hunt presenter's bow tie and tightly stitched jacket, but the picture is decent all-round. As for sound, there's a delivery with reasonable clarity that's let down by an intermittent buzzing from within the cabinet. If the Toshiba was the cheapest set in its class it might be worth four stars, but given the price and performance of its peers, three will have to do.

Afraid of facing people from my past (self.socialanxiety)
submitted 3 years ago by throwaway09201
I'm moving back to my home town after being away for about two years. The reason why I moved was because my girlfriend cheated on me and dumped me. After that I went off the deep end (drugs + alcohol), and I barely remember the 2 months after that except for getting arrested towards the end. So I moved away to try and get my life straightened around.
I've been dealing with SA for as long as I can remember, but now that I'm getting ready to move back it has gotten to be debilitating. I haven't talked to any of my old friends since I've been gone, and I'm basically at a loss for what I should do. I'm extremely embarrassed for all the shit that went down, and I'm not sure if I can face anybody (some people I have to and I'm freaking out about it).
My mind is going a million miles and hour right now, so I don't know if this all makes sense, but I could really use some advice.
tl;dr Moving home, scared to face people from my past, SA is crippling me.

Battling TFS Builds and Powershell
My last few days have been about getting DNX builds to work in TFS. I've got a couple of projects / solutions of different types ongoing, between web apps, web APIs and class libraries. I consider a good build system as a fundamental component in the development process, to aid in continuous integration and enable continuous deployment.
TFS vNext builds in TFS 2015 present a new setup, and as with any new tech problems arise, and solutions aren't always easy to find. Existing tasks don't always cater to my needs, so I've been creating a bunch of simple Powershell scripts to fill in the gaps. And since I'm an absolute Powershell noob, well, lots of problems appeared.
So, what follows are some problem-solution scenarios I found along the way.
TFS build + Powershell : Persist vars between steps
The Context:
I've opted to give GitVersion a try. One of my solutions is composed of class libraries that are reusable in multiple other solutions (base classes, interfaces, abstractions). My distribution mechanism of choice is an internal nuget server. As such versioning the packages is key. I prefer to follow SemVer since it explicits what changes occur, and also garantees an incremental version number on each change.
Previously (pre-dnx), I've built a bunch of command line tools for my team to use to control the version numbers. This required devs to run a command pre-commit to increment the number in the
AssemblyInfo.cs files (or in our case a single shared file). Increments were driven by the dev, who would choose to increment the major, minor or patch component. .Net assemblies include a fourth component – revision, which we would allow to increment if no changes were made but we simply wanted a new build / package (because something went wrong). NuGet updates in projects / solutions require incremental numbers so this was useful to us.
Though not difficult, the manual increment step is still a manual step. GitVersion automates this, guaranteeing at least a patch increment on each new build. Eventually, git commit message can drive minor and major increments (using "feature" and "breaking" in the commit message). Alternatively, the
GitVersion.yaml file has a next-version property that can be used for that too.
The problem:
In my build, I have a step (before dnu restore and build) to get the new version number and add it to an environment variable. The idea would be to persist the variable's value throughout the various build steps (and not across builds or permanently). Unfortunately, using an
$env:varname type of attribution in the Powershell script does not store the variables. Calling
Get-Variables in the next steps does not present the variable in the list of available variables. This may be possible in the future, and should be possible in VSO (using specific variables), but not yet in TFS 2015. I open an issue that has a short discussing associated: https://github.com/Microsoft/vso-agent-tasks/issues/375 .
The workaround:
To solve this, I took the "easy" but somewhat inelegant route of serializing the object that GitVersion creates to file, and reading / de-serializing the file contents to object wherever I need it. For this too work, I had to put the
GitVersion.yaml next to the .git folder (otherwise
GitVersion.exe would not produce the correct output). Since the PS scripts are run from the solution folder, I serialized the object to a
gitVersionOutput.json file, which shouldn't interfere with anything else (and will only exist on the build server).
$GitVersionOutput | Out-File gitVersionOutput.json
Once I've gotten the new version number for the project / solution, I can run through each
project.json file in the solution and substitute the version property's value.
Powershell : ConvertTo-Json might not produce the result you want
The Context:
As mentioned in the previous step, once I've got the new SemVer version number, I can substitute the value in each of the
project.json files in the solution. This will allow the build to use that value for each of the generated packages. Package and assembly version numbers will automaticaly be incremented, NuGet packages will be correctly versioned and the Git repo can then be tagged. Binaries, packages and repo will be synced to match specific point-in-tine inputs to outputs.
The problem:
What would seem to be a simple step /powershell script turn out to be a load of work. The idea was to read each project.json with a combination of the
Get-Content and the
ConvertFrom-Json cmdlet, change the properties value, and rewrite the file with the
ConvertTo-Json and
Out-File cmdlets. Unfortunately it's not straightforward.
ConvertTo-Json won't serialize correctly – deep trees will see some subtrees, like the dependencies subtrees converted to string instead of a tree.
In other words, running
Get-Content -Raw project.json | ConvertFrom-Json | ConvertTo-Json | Out-File project.json
doesn't produce the correct output.
What was read as (shortened for brevity to the relevant parts)
"frameworks": {
"dotnet": {
"dependencies": {
"System.ComponentModel": "4.0.0-beta-23109",
"System.Data.Common": "4.0.0-beta-23109",
"System.Runtime": "4.0.20-beta-23109",
"System.Runtime.InteropServices": "4.0.20-beta-23109",
"System.Runtime.Serialization.Primitives": "4.0.10-beta-23109"
Gets written as
"frameworks": {
"dotnet": {
"dependencies": "@{System.ComponentModel=4.0.0-beta-23109; System.Data.Common=4.0.0-beta-23109; System.Runtime=4.0.20-beta-23109; System.Runtime.InteropServices=4.0.20-beta-23109; System.Runtime.Serialization.Primitives=4.0.10-beta-23109}"
Notice that dependencies is no longer an object with properties but a single string.
The solution:
Two things should be considered. To read the json,
Get-Content should have the -Raw switch to avoid using any other piped step (such as
Get-Content -Raw project.json | ConvertFrom-Json works correctly.
The other thing, when serializing, is to include the
--depth argument before writing the file :
ConvertTo-Json --depth 999 | Out-File project.json , to avoid the deeper parts of the tree to be written as a single string value.
Deployment – IIS might be looking for x64 apps because of the app pool
The context:
This one drove a colleague of mine, who has never used IIS, mad. The context was a simple one. Deploying (x-copy) an app to a IIS based server. Our build doesn't have this step setup yet (but hopefully it will, soon, with OctopusDeploy), and it's also something kinda one-shot-ish since we were trying to deploy a branch's snapshot with some mocks for validation. Esetially we had an X-copy to the server, and reference to an x86 version of a dnx beta.
The problem:
After small changes to IIS (basic stuff), one last error was keeping the the site / app from displaying. IIS was looking for
dnx-clr-win-x184.108.40.206-beta5, and not the x86 variant. We did not have, anywhere, a ref to x64.
The solution:
This was solved with an AppDomain setting. In the used app Domain, there is a setting that allows 32bit apps to run. Changing the flag value to true corrected the problem. Unfortunately, this one was pretty hard to find. To Get there:
- In IIS choose the appdomain being
- Choose used and Advanced settings
- Change "Activate 32 bit applications" in the General properties group to
Powershell – Hidden vars don't go out to the command line
The context:
As previously mentioned, GitVersion is being used to calculate a new SemVer version of the artifacts being generated. The last step, after building, testing and pushing packages is to tag the repo, on the commit that generated the version, with the version number. This is generally done using a
git push
The problem:
The origin argument in the command is a URL to the repo, and authentication info is necessary. In the case of TFS repos, a username/password combination is required.
git push at the command line generally requests the user and password values in separate interactions in the shell. To avoid these interactions (since in the build it's not possible or convenient), a single command should be used with all the required info. in this case, the url for origin can contain the user and pass before the url using the following format:
git push https://:@
Passwords are sensitive things and we don't want them coded in the script. We can use build variables (defined in the variables tab of the build job). TFS supports "hidden" variables that allow you to include sensitive info, and hide them from the UI and logs. These vars are generally available as environment variables throughout the build. While you can access normal variables through
${env:variableName} references, hidden vars won't get substituted correctly in the script, failing the authentication.
The Solution:
Build variables can generally be referenced through the
${env:varname} syntax, but hidden vars can't. They can, though, be passed as arguments to a script. In this case their value is used internally as expected and still hidden (substituted by ****) in the logs. Script arguments are declared in the start of the script and defined in the arguments textbox in the step definition. in this case, the reference is in the form $(varName).
So for my case, I have 3 vars I define in the build –
tagRepoUrl – where
tagPass is hidden. At the very beginning of my powershell script I accept 3 arguments (by ordinal reference) which can be locally accessed as
$tagPass, and
[string]$tagUser = $args[0]
[string]$tagPass = $args[1]
[string]$tagRepoUrl = $args[2]
In the arguments textbox I reference the build vars in order:
$(tagUser) $(tagPass) $(tagRepoUrl)
There's also a GitHub issue for this one: https://github.com/Microsoft/vso-agent-tasks/issues/388
I probably can get the repo url through some other mechanism (maybe gitVersion or .git folder files or something) which I may explore and get rid of the
tagRepoUrl variable all together. Seems redundant, just haven't invested the time for that.
Build vNext projects in TFS (on-premise)
Since I've been working with vNExt these last few weeks at Celfinet, and having started a brand new solution for some services, one of my main concerns was to get a build setup ASAP. The lesser the amount of dependencies and projects and what not, the easier and faster it is to setup the build. Faster here is mainly for code sync (from source control, in this case, GIT) and the build feedback. The less amount of work that needs to be done, the faster it will be to se the whole job pass or fail, which in the setup phase can be daunting if you have to wait long.
We generally use one of two build systems – TFS or Jenkins. The new build system (also known as Build.VNext or Build.Preview in the menu) was recently made available to the team in our installation. I'm not a fan of the previous build system. The Xaml workflow concept for defining jobs isn't a bad idea, but it just isn't a great experience and is really hard to get into and use. I do like Jenkins flexibility – you build is basically just a sequence of steps of anything – but the UI and navigation could really use some work. When I saw the presentations for the new TFS system, I was hooked (even without trying!). The interface is super clean and has all the flexibility that we got from Jenkins. There is still plenty that can be done to make the new TFS build system spectacular, but it clearly is going in a great direction.
Sidenote: I'm quite curious as to why the ASP.Net team hasn't adopted the TFS / VSO build system. Preference seems to have gone to Travis/ AppVeyor based builds (as presented on GitHub project pages).
Anyway, not everything was a smooth setup in the build system for my projects. Not that it isn't easy, but it's still a preview and documentation is scarce, so I naturally hit some obstacles.
1 – DNVM, DNU updates (prerequisite)
First thing to do in the build, and because we'll need to build using dnu, is to install/update DNVM and install / upgrade DNU to whatever our solution requires. The process is an automated version of my previous post. The powershell script used is similar to the one at https://msdn.microsoft.com/Library/vs/alm/Build/azure/deploy-aspnet5#Createthedefinition. It :
- updates / installs dnvm
- updates dnu to whatever is in the solution's global.json, and sets the appropriate environment var to use it.
- restores packages for the solution's projects.
The only difference is referenced script only restored dependencies for projects within the \src folder. My modified version restores packages for all the projects (or, better yet, all the project.json) in the solution.
Therefore, the following powershell script was added to the solution folder (and source controlled) and added as a first step in the build process.
2 – MSBuild it
Second step was a regular MSBuild step, using the MSBuild task and pointing to the solution file. It's more than enough and will correctly capture all the projects and dependency graph within it.
3 – Run xUnit tests
This was a painfull one for me. I spent a lot of time trying to use the VSTest task available, with no luck. It would run, sometimes with success (depending on whatever settings I used – I tried so many it's now hard to tell). Donovan Brown had already written up a post on this which I tried, but it just wouldn't work for me – the path to the adapters the he mentions wouldn't work in my installation. So after a lot of struggle I tried inventing a powershell script to recursively find all the test projects under the solution's \test folder and run dnx . test on all of them. This off course assumes that all the test projects are under \test and that all of them have a test command in the project.json. It's a bit forced, but for a first effort should be ok. refactoring later on when more info is available will be required! So after the MSbuild step I added another powershell step to run the xUnit tests:
Like the previous one, the script was placed in source control in the solution directory.
Next steps
Build and test was the most important parte of what I wanted in this first approach to the build. Next step will be generating the appropriate artifactes (nuget packages) and deploying to an environment with OctopusDeploy. Hopefully it'll be pretty straightfoward 😀
Upgrading vNext MVC6 Apps From Beta4 to Beta5
It's been a while, but my last few sprints have been focused on working with ASP.NET 5 MVC6, namely evaluating what is going on in order to protoype an app front-end. Working with Beta versions is definitely challenging – there are plenty of moving parts and a lack of documentation. Fortunately, the term "community" is one we can apply more to what is going on with Microsoft's iniciative. I've been pretty much googling stuff, deducing concepts, and hogging the Jabber #AspNetvNext chat room, where, fortunately, I'm getting answers I need.
I started developing the prototype in Beta4, and decided to migrate to Beta5 before starting to add even more parts to the project. Unfortunately, upgrading isn't the easiest thing in the world, but it is possible.
1. Upgrade your DNVM and DNU
Your runtime environment should be one that can support Beta5 correctly. At this time, the latest is Beta6-10383. To upgrade, you can run in the command line window:
@powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "&{$Branch='dev';iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aspnet/Home/dev/dnvminstall.ps1'))}"
This will update dnvm itself, if you are still in Beta4. As of the beta5 or 6 version, a self-update command is available.
With dnvm updated, you should upgrade the dnu versions.
dnvm upgrade
should pull and install the most recent stable dnu. You can indicate a specific version also:
dnvm install 1.0.0-beta5-11904
dnvm install 1.0.0-beta5-11904 -r coreclr
if you want to choose/specify the clr type. You can also pull the most recente beta build available using
dnvm upgrade -Unstable
2- Update your global.json
In your solution's global.json, update the sdk version value:
"sdk": {
"version": "1.0.0-beta5-11904"
3- Update packages in the projects
At this time, you can update package refs in your projects to Beta5 versions. One thing to consider, though, is that from Beta4 to Beta5, a lot of changes have occurred, especially in the namespaces for some class. For instance, pretty much every package set now has an
*.Abstractions package with base classes and interfaces, separated from their implementations. I would at this point recommend excluding as many projects as it would make sense to and to update gradually, traversing the dependency chain. This is simply to reduce the amount of focus required to analyse output errors.
The main NuGet feed contains a large set of packages, but if you want to try using the latest and greatest, you can pull from the myGet feed. In order to do so, at the same level as your
global.json and
.sln file, add a
.nuget/ folder and a NuGet.config file (similar to previous solution types). Add the following :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Add this repository to the list of available repositories -->
<add key="AspNet MyGet" value="https://www.myget.org/F/aspnetvnext/" />
<add key="nuget.org" value="https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/" />
I prefer having this in the solution, and committed to source control, as the entire team can share this definition in the solution context AND you won't have to manually configure VS to use the repository (which would make it available to every solution you use, which you may or may not want).
3.1 Abstractions
Alot of things are changing, so some car is required, and code will require updates. The most common change that affected me were namespace changes (as mentioned in https://github.com/aspnet/Announcements/issues/14). Pretty much all of the repos have some Abstractions namespace associated to it, now. That's actually a pretty good thing , in my opinion. If you are not tied to a specific implementation of abstract class or interface, the only reference you are required to have in class libs is the abstractions package. That makes use of DI more straight foward in the application project, which would be where the actual implementation is referenced. Other than there, you can always program against the abstraction and Mock as you wish in tests.
Some common abstraction refs I required where:
|IFileInfo, IDirectoryContents
3.2 – Configuration
Configuration classes have changes also (https://github.com/aspnet/Announcements/issues/25 , https://github.com/aspnet/Announcements/issues/26). There is a preference towards using
ConfigurationModel classes / packages, to tie into the
OptionsModel, instead of the previous Configuration (though configuration builder is in Configuration). Configuration can be loaded into
IOption objects in DI by using the following code:
var applicationEnvironment = services.BuildServiceProvider().GetRequiredService<IApplicationEnvironment>();
var configurationPath = Path.Combine(applicationEnvironment.ApplicationBasePath, "config.json");
var configBuilder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
var configuration = configBuilder.Build();
The path to the config file should now be an absolute path as mentioned in https://github.com/aspnet/Announcements/issues/13
3.3 – _GlobalImport.cshtml
If you use
_GlobalImport.cshtml for your views, the file name convention has changed to search for
_ViewImports.cshtml (plural) as mentioned in https://github.com/aspnet/Announcements/issues/27 . That file should therefore be renamed.
3.4 – Configure()
For some unexplained reason, I was having trouble using Use* extension methods on IApplicationBuilder such as UseStaticFiles and UseCookieAuthentication. For some odd reason, the runtime shouldn't load the UseMiddleware<>() method those extensions use.
Método não encontrado: 'Microsoft.AspNet.Http.Authentication.SignInContext Microsoft.AspNet.Authentication.AuthenticationHandler.get_SignInContext()'.
For some reason some packages were not playing nice. The workarounds I used:
UseStaticFiles(), I just used what the extension actually does:
app.UseMiddleware<StaticFileMiddleware>(new StaticFileOptions());
UseCookieAuthentication(), using
Beta6 packages for
Microsoft.AspNet.Authentication and
Microsoft.AspNet.Authentication.Cookies solved the problem.
Things Worth Watching #2 – Domain Service Aggregators
Great talk from Caolite O'Conner about domain-driven microservice development. Some great take-aways for me where the aggregation services and the API versioning schemes.
Things Worth Watching #1 – The Old New Old New Things
I'm a fan of InfoQ's material. Here's a recent one with Greg Young worth watching:
(note: I'll try to start posting things worth watching with this title / tag)
SemVer, Team Development and Visual Studio Solutions
Controlling dependency chains between libraries and services in complex software projects isn't easy, though you can, to a certain point, get away with very simple solutions. I guess most teams end up applying some sort of versioning strategy to the software they develop, even if it's saying that it's a 1.0 at deployment time and stick with that. Like I said, you can get away with a lot, depending on your context. A lot of the projects I have worked in my career where single client and single installation applications. That pretty much meant the version of the software installed was whatever was built based on some source control revision. Match the deployed package to whatever revision it was created with and you had your version. This generally meant a single version across components that integrated the software.
As simple as this method is, it works and takes a load off in terms of the amount of things a small team has to focus on to release software. Still, not all projects can live with such a simple solution. I'd say that you can live with this solution as long as you can contain the whole installation as a single package or build result. Once you start mixing and matching and thinking about plugable architectures, or have large package dependency graphs with more than a couple nodes, things can get complicated…. and break easy due to incompatibility.
Wiring up an event-message handling service
Recently, in a project I'm working on, I needed to create a service that would allow me to monitor what was going on in the application. In this case, log file info wasn't rich enough for the type of analysis required. We wanted a contextualized view of what was going on at any moment within this application, but also to measure key aspects of its use. In a sense, it would be an implementation of some of the control patterns referred to in Architecting Enterprise Solutions: Patterns for High-capability Internet-based Systems (Wiley Software Patterns Series)
, such as the System Monitor.
Lately I've been looking at and quite interested in CQRS. I like the concept and what it offers, especially when used with event sourcing. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to apply it for many reasons, namely lack of experience with it and time to focus on learning how to do it, especially considering the need for features in a time constrained production application. For this particular case, though, I considered I could use some of the concepts to get to a solution that'll do what I want.

'Pot Tourists' Tied to Surge in Colorado ER Visits
By Dennis Thompson
HealthDay Reporter
WEDNESDAY, Feb. 24, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Some tourists who have visited Colorado to sample the state's legal marijuana haven't been able to handle their high, prompting a steep increase in pot-related trips to the emergency room, new research indicates.
The number of out-of-state visitors suffering marijuana-related medical problems who landed in the emergency room of the University of Colorado Hospital doubled between 2013 and 2014.
That's according to a research letter published Feb. 25 in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Retail sales of marijuana first began in 2014, the researchers noted.
During that same 2013-14 period, pot-related ER visits by state residents stayed steady. This suggests that local residents have become better educated when it comes to using marijuana, said study co-author Dr. Andrew Monte, an assistant professor of emergency medicine at the University of Colorado School of Medicine in Aurora.
"People in Colorado are becoming more experienced with use of these products," Monte said. "Sometimes visitors to the state, it's more difficult to get the educational information in their hands. They may be less experienced with the particular products in the state. They haven't been exposed to the deluge of public health messaging."
Colorado was one of the first states to legalize recreational use of marijuana, with voters first approving the measure in November 2012.
For the new report, Monte and his colleagues reviewed billing codes for the emergency department at the University of Colorado Hospital in Aurora. The ER sees about 100,000 patients per year, the study said.
Tourist visits to the ER possibly related to marijuana jumped from 85 per 10,000 in 2013 to 168 per 10,000 in 2014, the researchers found.
At the same time, visits by state residents did not change much -- 106 per 10,000 in 2013, compared with 112 per 10,000 in 2014, the research showed.
These numbers mirror statistics gathered by the Colorado Hospital Association, which saw pot-related ER visits by tourists rise statewide from 78 per 10,000 visits in 2012 to 163 per 10,000 visits in 2014, the researchers noted.

This is classic: boil it to fit it to your teeth, and you're good. If you aren't playing in the most intense checking leagues, this is all you need to make sure that you won't bite your tongue open falling down. Plus, if you have a cage like I do, it'll loop right through that sucker.

Agile, Self-Organization, and Personal Responsibility
"How do I behave when I'm in a situation of shared responsibility but I'm not in charge of the person I'm working with and they're not in charge of me?" Christopher Avery opened his keynote presentation at the Agile Indy 2013 conference with this inquiry. This scenario arises quite frequently in an Agile environment, as we encourage self-organization among teams. We ask people to work differently, to self-organize and share responsibility, but what guidance do we give them on how to do this?
Agile Marketing
How can we achieve true business agility if the only department that is Agile is IT? We have found that applying Agile techniques to the ways in which a company approaches their marketing is extremely powerful.

I wish to migrate the database of a legacy web app from SQL Server to MySQL. What are the limitations of MySQL that I must look out for ? And what all items would be part of a comprehensive checklist before jumping into actually modifying the code ?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
First thing I would check is the data types - the exact definition of datatypes varies from database to database. I would create a mapping list that tellme what to map each of the datatypes to. That will help in building the new tables. I would also check for data tables or columns that are not being used now. No point in migrating them. Do the same with functions, job, sps, etc. Now is the time to clean out the junk.
How are you accessing the data through sps or dynamic queries from the database? Check each query by running it aganst a new dev database and make sure they still work. Again there are differences between how the two flavors of SQl work. I've not used my sql so I'm not sure what some of the common failure points are. While you are at it you might want to time new queries and see if they can be optimized. Optimization also varies from database to database and while you are at it, there are probably some poorly performing queries right now that you can fix as part of the migration.
User defined functions will need to be looked at as well. Don't forget these if you are doing this.
Don't forget scheduled jobs, these will need to be checkd and recreated in myslq as well.
Are you importing any data ona regular schedule? All imports will have to be rewritten.
Key to everything is to use a test database and test, test, test. Test everything especially quarterly or annual reports or jobs that you might forget.
Another thing you want to do is do everything through scripts that are version controlled. Do not move to production until you can run all the scripts in order on dev with no failures.
One thing I forgot, make sure the dev database you are running the migration from (the sql server database) is updated from production immediately before each test run. Hate to have something fail on prod because you were testing against outdated records.
Your client code is almost certain to be the most complex part to modify. Unless your application has a very high quality test suite, you will end up having to do a lot of testing. You can't rely on anything working the same, even things which you might expect to.
Yes, things in the database itself will need to change, but the client code is where the main action is, it will need heaps of work and rigorous testing.
Forget migrating the data, that is the last thing which should be on your mind; the database schema can probably be converted without too much difficulty; other database objects (SPs, views etc) could cause issues, but the client code is where the focus of the problems will be.
Almost every routine which executes a database query will need to be changed, but absolutely all of them will need to be tested. This will be nontrivial.
I am currently looking at migrating our application's main database from MySQL 4.1 to 5, that is much less of a difference, but it will still be a very, very large task.

You can look forward to longer gaming sessions thanks to Nyko's new GamePad peripheral. According to the developer, the Power Pak triples the Wii U GamePad's battery life.
Moreover, the Power Pak completely replaces the current GamePad battery, which will be a welcome relief to consumers who were anticipating a cumbersome attachment.
The Power Pak retails for $24.99USD, is rechargeable via the existing charging dock and cable, and includes a handy screwdriver for opening the GamePad's battery compartment.
Nyko added that nothing else is required to install the battery.
What are your thoughts on this new peripheral? Are you happy with the GamePad's current battery life, or might you consider purchasing a Power Pak?

Publisher's Description
A leading voice at the crossroads of faith and politics offers a prophetic appeal for our times: faced with a growing gap between the rich and poor, bombarded by national security alerts that ratchet up our stress levels, taxed by a government that spends billions of dollars on war -- where do we find hope? In this revised and updated edition of his classic, Jim Wallis insightfully critiques contemporary culture and politics, inspiring us with stories to convert our way of thinking and point to a solution to our current social and political dilemmas.
Author Bio
Jim Wallis is the author of the New York Times bestseller God's Politics, which electrified Americans disenchanted with how the Right had co-opted all talk about integrating religious values into our politics by offering an alternative voice. Wallis is a leading figure at the crossroads of religion and politics in America today, the author of eight books, and the founder of Sojourners, a global faith and justice network. He is a public theologian, an internationally renowned speaker and preacher, a faith-based activist, husband, and father to two young boys, and a Little League baseball coach.

Emotional forum debates 'Dixie' in UT college name
ST. GEORGE, Utah (AP) – Dixie State College of Utah got its name after Mormon settlers, primarily from the South, tried to turn the warm region into a cotton-growing mecca in the 1800s.
But some people argue the moniker carries negative, Deep South connotations and should be stricken from the name of the campus that features a statue of Confederate soldiers and only recently retired the Rebel as its school mascot.
"The question really is, do you want to be perceived by everybody else on the planet as a defiant school promoting racism, or do you want to be perceived as a respectable school which promotes the high ideals of our society?" said community member Richard Hutchins, who attended a Thursday forum exploring a potential name change.
Hutchins was one of more than 100 people at the emotional meeting in St. George that was organized as the school with about 10,000 students seeks to become a university, The Spectrum of St. George reported (
With that status expected in January, the debate over Dixie _ and the school's identity _ is heating up.
"The name most likely won't change after this because where do you go after you've reached university status?" said Erik Sorenson, president of the marketing company researching the change. "This is who Dixie State is going to be for the next 100 plus years."
Other names under consideration include Zion University, Utah Southwestern University, Red Rock University, and St. George University.
But some people want to keep the name or a variation of it, saying it's part of the region's heritage and doesn't have racial subtext among Utahns who have long known the area as "Utah's Dixie."
"I think we are becoming over-concerned about political correctness and ruining our heritage. I don't think we have to give up one for the other," said Margaret Leigh, a St. George resident.
Former faculty member Connie Corbett Keate pointed out a name change would affect everything from school songs to an iconic "D" emblazoned on a nearby hillside.
The heritage argument isn't swaying opponents of the current name. Some gathered around the campus soldier statue before the forum, holding candles and draping a sheet over its metallic Confederate flag.
"Frankly, I understand the feelings of tradition. However, the success of the university and of the students will be severely hindered by the name Dixie," said Michael Eaton, an adjunct English professor at Dixie State, according to The Spectrum.

The Townsends are among the families whose ancestors first settled in the area now known as Valle Crucis. I am a fifth generation native. My two sons are sixth generation and I hope to pass the family farm along to the 7th generation (my grandsons).
Hen's Tooth Acres Farm is a treasure as rare as Hen's Teeth. We provide our guests with a genuine - and truly unique - small family farm experience. We are close to everything yet you'll feel like you've left the hustle and bustle of everyday life far-far behind you - giving you the best of both worlds. R&R when you want it or plenty of recreation, shopping, dining and assorted things to do when you don't.
Farm fresh free range eggs for breakfast, handcrafted goat's milk soaps (made with essentail oils) and come along at chore time if you'd like to share in caring for the farm animals. You may even want to try your hand at milking a goat or gathering fresh eggs. Perhaps you'd like to take a hike up the mountain. All of this and more...but you'll not find another vacation experience in the High Country that will even come close to the uniqueness of all that Hen's Tooth Acres Farm has to offer.
Hens Tooth Acres rental was exactly as advertised and even more. Farmer Fred was very welcoming and was very good with our granddaughter who he always asked her if she wanted to do chores. At first she was a little apprehensive, but after the first day she was always looking forward to the animals. She picked eggs, fed all the animals, held the baby goats, and I think she even milked the goat a little. It is a very beautiful farm in a very beautiful area. It is close to all the things to do in the area. Everything in the unit was well stocked and clean. We would return and would recommend it to all who enjoy the mountains and it's beauty. We will miss seeing Farmer Fred and so we will have to return soon. Thanks so much for a great week!!!
( The fresh eggs are worth the stay)
The place this review should begin is with Fred Townsend, aka "Farmer Fred". Farmer Fred is gentle and kind, and he really made us feel welcomed. He integrated my five-year old daughter into his activities so she could "work" on the farm gathering eggs and feeding the goats. She also enjoyed a four-wheeler ride with Farmer Fred. She just had an absolute ball at the farm.
Rachel and I built a stone dam in Farmer Fred's creek. Rachel really loved Farmer Fred's gentle dog, Max, an exuberant, young Pyrenees.
The apartment or rooms are great, the beds are comfy and the numerous pillows are varied so everyone can find one to meet their needs. The kitchen is well-equipped with pots, pans, a blender, a toaster -- any type of utensil you might need -- it's all there. There's even a Foosball table, washer and dryer, books to read, board games, and so on.
Farmer Fred shared some of his own cattle's steaks, and we had them for supper tonight back in Raleigh. They are tender and delicious, grass-fed, all natural! I ate Farmer Fred's chickens' eggs in the mornings, too! I also enjoyed the soaps that Farmer Fred's daughter-in-law, Abbie, made with milk from Farmer Fred's Nubian goats. And I had occasion to meet one of Farmer Fred's son's, Chris, and Chris and Abbie's two boys, Roan and Finnegan. I just cannot say enough about this family of kind, smart people who enjoyed teaching us about the farm and the surrounding area. My daughter loved playing with Chris and Abbie's boys, too.
Vilas, in which township Farmer Fred's farm is, sits so close to Valle Crucis and Boone.
We will definitely be back. It is so affordable, comfortable, fun and friendly. If you prefer privacy, I know Fred Townsend would respect that as well, and the apartment would certainly allow for it.
Thanks, Fred Townsend! See you soon.
What a wonderful stay again with Farmer Fred. This was our second stay in the last 2 months with Fred. The kids love him and love doing chores. Great time milking the goats, feeding the horses, and playing with Max. Fun times sledding down the hill and hiking in the woods as well! Highly reccomend a stay with Farmer Fred.
We just returned from our second trip to this lovely farm. Once again, we were met by the kind Farmer Fred who answered lots of questions and led us through farm chores. This place really is special and deserves it's 5 star review. It is very clean (and I'm very picky, for thing I do is check mattresses when we stay anywhere), and very comfortable. Our three kids love the toys, books,and foosball. All the little things you need in the kitchen are there, this time there was even a bed rail and toddler bed. Fantastic accommodations in a magical, idyllic setting. Planning our next trip back in my mind already.
We had such an amazing time! Farmer Fred is such a wonderful host. The accommodations included everything (& more) that we needed to make our stay comfortable. Our 3 year old had a great time collecting eggs & milking the goats. Our dogs enjoyed the fenced yard. My husband & I loved relaxing out in the chairs outside with a glass of wine & the peace of the mountains. We will certainly be back!
Though it rained and misted the entire three days my husband and I stayed at this lovely, quaint, and charming farm; we were thoroughly pleased. The apartment was clean and well stocked. Mr. Townsend was a gracious host and welcomed us with a gift basket of hand-made soap and farm fresh eggs upon our arrival. We loved the view from our front door - cows grazing, chickens feeding, and the horses were so beautiful. We will definitely stay again!
Year round activities make historic Valle Crucis an excellent vacation destination or simply a great place to get away.

MESA, AZ-Colliers International in Greater Phoenix has negotiated the sale of the 272-unit Casa Carranza Apartments, a seven-building complex featuring a large solar array.
SPL Real Estate & Management Company, Denver acquired Casa Carranza in an all-cash transaction for $9.1 million, or $33,456 per unit.. The seller was Summit Equity Investments, Inc., a Los Angeles-based real estate investment firm. Bill Hahn, Jeffrey Sherman and Trevor Koskovich of Colliers' HSK Multifamily team represented both parties.
The community, which was built in 1979, was originally acquired by Summit in 2010; and Summit completed extensive remodeling in 2011. Most significant was the addition of a $1.5 million, 281-kilowatt solar power system, which covers 15,000 square feet atop new parking canopies with 1,004 high-efficiency solar panels. This is believed to be the largest covered-parking solar power system added to an apartment community in Arizona.
The solar system provides an annual utility savings of approximately $50,000, by replacing approximately 25% of total energy consumption with solar energy and generating more than 475,000 kW hours annually. The project takes advantage of the Salt River Project's production-based renewable energy incentive program.
"Casa Carranza represented a highly-desirable investment opportunity for SPL Real Estate & Management Company," said Koskovich with Colliers. "The solar power system drives real savings for the property and greatly enhanced the property's value. Summit made other considerable investments in the property, improving the community's infrastructure, renovating building facilities, and re-tenanting." Koskovich adds that SPL will self-manage Casa Carranza and plans further improvements through streamlined operations and taking advantage of their property management expertise. This is SPL's second multifamily acquisition in metro Phoenix, with plans to acquire additional multifamily assets.
Casa Carranza, located at 1903 N. Country Club Drive, is a two-story complex consisting of 14 buildings on 7.5 acres with 126,600 net rentable square feet. The unit mix includes 104 studios, 166 one-bedroom and 2 two-bedroom apartments.
Summit is a real estate firm actively involved in the acquisition of prime multi-family real estate in California, Arizona and throughout the United States. Summit was formed in 2009 by Ryan Lynch, Joseph Rosen and Michael Thom, an experienced team with a successful history of multi-family investments.
Colliers International is a global leader in commercial real estate services, with over 13,500 professionals operating out of more than 482 offices in 62 countries. Colliers International in Greater Phoenix has served clients locally and globally for more than 30 years.

1996 Chevrolet Blazer SUV LS 4dr SUV
The Blazer runs great, I live in Michigan and the brutal cold weather doesnt hurt the car, it runs like a champ. The car is in great condition, No rust on it at all, the paint is still on, With no chips!. I would recommend this car to anyonewho's looking to buy a new used SUV
I love that it gives you the temp. outside and what direction you are heading. The stereo system works great. I love all of the compartments in it to put things like Cd's, Sunglasses, etc,.
1996 Chevrolet Blazer SUV LT 4dr SUV 4WD
This car is horrible. i only had 75k miles on it and it just started acting crazy and i had to fix it every month. I traded it in for a 2005 toyota highlander.
this small unattractive suv is suppose to be more fuel efficient then the suburban, but this is not the case...its certainly not more reliable. transmission replaced at 120k, fuel pump at 150k, ac compressor at 160k, but thats it, so reliability isn't too bad. today the mileage is 215,000. though the paint is fading and the windows leak when it rains, the motor ignites and runs as it did at 90k miles, not too shabby!
motor reliability
motor efficiency and power, and build quality...GM must raise the build standard to stay competitive which is not happening
1996 Chevrolet Blazer SUV LS 4dr SUV 4WD
I bought this car when it had about 168,000 miles on it. I needed a beater car to get back and forth to work..and trust me its a beater. I have had nothing but issues with it since I bought it. I had to replace the wheel bearings w/hub assembly, shocks (front and back), brakes, thermostat (twice), and now I am having major issues with the coolant system and the access tank running dry.
Having four wheel drive is great in the winter time for where I live.
I owned a 96 Chevy Blazer 4x4 and I beat the crap out of it, I got it stuck and almost flooded it and almost flipped it and have been thru many a trail or mud pit. But the thing is a mechanical mess! Its hard to modify not meant for off roading in any way, I went thru 2engines in 160k miles and will never buy a Chevy suv again.
comfort and power
everything especially my 8mpg observed mileage

The Normal Heart Film Casting Is Intriguing But Bizarre
Ryan Murphy is putting together a stellar cast for the long-awaited screen version of Larry Kramer's The Normal Heart, about the struggle to get recognition for AIDS as it devastated the gay community in the early days.
Julia Roberts will play the lady doctor who nails the big boys with rage-filled truths.
Alec Baldwin is aboard, which might sound bizarre since he's had his own biased moments -- but at least he's playing the Kramer character's brother, who is made wildly uncomfortable by all the gay talk.
And Matt Bomer is playing the fashion-journo boyfriend of the Kramer character (Mark Ruffalo), a guy who tragically contracts HIV himself.

Gigabyte Maya II Radeon 9700 Review
The range of ATI based video cards are slowly but surely expanding into the consumer market. Sapphire has started mass production of its ATI line of cards, Hercules has moved over to ATI and even Creative Labs has a couple of Radeon based cards out in the field.
ATI's R300 core was revolutionised to be the best of the best. Designed on a 0.15um die for fastest clock speeds, along with the new FC-BGA connection for reduced heat, ATI set out to take the top 3D crown away from nVidia, which has been accomplished. However, with new drivers from ATI we have seen a decline in the effectiveness of the ATI Radeon 9xxx line, with compatibility issues and spyware claims in the mix. With this happening, it still hasn't diminished ATI's ability to take on the big boys.
Gigabyte, one relatively young player in the 3D market, has started to expand its video line. First basing their cards on nVidia chips, Gigabyte felt the market was is more of the ATI favour. Doing so, Gigabyte changed their entire line from nVidia over to ATI, hoping that the gamble would pay off; R300 gave ATI partners something to cheer about.
We have already seen the Maya II based on the 9700 Pro core. Today we see the GeForce 4 Ti 4400 equivalent in ATI's line-up, the 9700 standard.

What are 'Holding Costs'
Holding costs are the costs associated with storing inventory or assets that remain unsold. Holding costs are a major component of supply chain management, since businesses must determine how much of a product to keep in stock. With limited storage space, storing one product creates an opportunity cost because the business cannot store as much of other products.
BREAKING DOWN 'Holding Costs'Holding costs of inventory contain hidden fees, such as the cost of purchasing items, housing, handling and accounting for depreciation if those items do not sell quickly. Such costs may represent as much as 25% of inventory value on hand.
Holding costs are typically computed for one year, then expressed as a percentage of the cost of the inventory items. For example, a company with $300,000 in inventory cost paying $60,000 per year for carrying the inventory has holding costs of 20%. Not accounting for holding costs may lead to excess, wasted, lost or damaged inventory, creating a loss for a business through a write-down or write-off.
Write-Downs and Write-Offs
A write-down occurs when goods have not sold and their market value has dropped below the purchase price. The difference between the purchase price and the current, lower price is the write-down amount. Any inventory write-down is recorded as an expense on an income statement. For example, the rebranding attempt by J.C. Penney Co. Inc. in 2013 cost the company $1 billion and caused a long-term negative effect on the business. Inventory liquidation and significant write-downs as low as 95% off occurred on some clothing items.
A write-off is the formal recognition of a portion of inventory no longer having value. This is more damaging to a company's bottom line than a write-down. Many companies completing a manual inventory assessment discover a large portion of their inventory is missing. Because absent products have no value, the business must write them off. For example, Amarillo National Bank, headquartered in Amarillo, Texas, was manually tracking inventory. Because the bank had issues accounting for its entire inventory, unnecessary purchases were made and inaccurate billing was performed. As a result, the actual inventory did not match the numbers in the books. After the bank implemented a dedicated inventory management system, their inventory write-offs were reduced from tens of thousands of dollars each year to a few hundred dollars annually.
Types of Holding Costs
Inventory capital costs involve purchasing inventory and tying up liquid cash until recouping the money by selling the items. The process takes vital capital from company operations. Because inventory capital costs include the money spent on inventory, interest paid on the purchases and interest lost when the cash becomes inventory, this is typically the greatest portion of the total holding cost.
Storage space costs involve keeping inventory securely organized in one place and in proper condition. Costs include rent, utilities, security and upkeep.
Inventory service costs involve protection against theft, workplace accidents and other issues. Insurance, taxes and inventory management systems are included in these costs.

Customized facials alleviate epidermal woes with cleansers and other professional-grade products, microdermabrasions banish dead skin cells to cleanse and brighten complexions, and photorejuvenations refresh faces with compliments shouted by a nearby paparazzo. Patsy also shapes brows with precisely placed layers of wax and highlights favorite strands and eyelashes with alluring tints.
