What is Strongly typed dataset?
What is typed dataset in C#?
A typed dataset is similar to a dataset with only difference is that the sehema is already present in typed dataset. so if any mismatch in the column will generate compile time errors rather than runtime error as in the case of normal dataset. Also accessing the column value is much easier than the normal dataset as the column definition will be available in the schema.
What happens when we issue Dataset.ReadXml command?
Reads XML schema and data into the DataSet.
What is method to get XML and schema from Dataset?
getXML () and get Schema ()
What is the difference between Data Reader & Dataset?
Data Reader is connected datasource, read only, forward only record set.
Dataset is disconnected datatsource resides in memory database that can store multiple tables, relations and constraints;
Difference between Dataset and Datareader?
Data Set is a connectionless service and Data reader is a connection oriented service. Dataset is used to store the data, it contains collections of Datatable. Datareader is used to connect to the database for retrieving data.
Data Reader - Forward only where as Dataset - Can loop through dataset.
Data Reader - Connected Recordset where as DataSet - Disconnected Recordset
Data Reader - Less Memory Occupying where as DataSet - It occupies more memory
Data Reader - Only Single Table can be used where as Dataset - Datatable Concept allows data to be stored in multiple tables.
Data Reader - Read only where as DataSet - Can add/update/delete using the dataset
Data Reader - No relationship can be maintained where as DataSet - Relationship can be maintained.
Data Reader - No Xml Storage available where as DataSet - Can be stored as XML.
The Dataset is a core of disconnected architecture. Disconnected architecture means once you have retrieved the data from the database the data source is dropped. The disconnected data become very commonly. The dataset for the disconnected data from the Dataset object. The DataReader is a readonly, forward only stream from the database. While using the datareader can improve the application performance reduces the system overhead because only one buffer row at a time in memory.

How can we check that some changes have been made to dataset since it was loaded?
The changes made to the dataset can be tracked using the GetChanges and HasChanges methods.
The GetChanges returns dataset which are changed since it was loaded or since Acceptchanges was executed.
The HasChanges property indicates if any changes were made to the dataset since it was loaded or if acceptchanges method was executed.
The RejectChanges can be used to revert thee changes made to the dataset since it was loaded
You are working with a DataSet and want to be able to display data, sorted different ways. How do you do so?
Select the correct answer.
1. Use the Sort method on the DataTable object.
2. Use the DataSet object's Sort method.
3. Use a DataView object for each sort.
4. Create a DataTable for each sort, using the DataTable object's Copy method, and then Sort the result
Correct Answer is :
3. Use a DataView object for each sort.
Can you explain the difference between an ADO.NET Dataset and an ADO Recordset?
. Though the DataSet is universal, other objects in ADO.NET come in different versions for different data sources.
. A DataSet can represent an entire relational database in memory, complete with tables, relations, and views.
. A DataSet is designed to work without any continuing connection to the original data source.
. Data in a DataSet is bulk-loaded, rather than being loaded on demand.
. There's no concept of cursor types in a DataSet.
. DataSets have no current record pointer You can use For Each loops to move through the data.
. You can store many edits in a DataSet, and write them to the original data source in a single operation.
The DataSet class can best be described .....
as a disconnected, in memory database
Explain the steps involved to populate dataset with data?
Open connection.;
Initialize Adapter passing SQL and connection as parameter.;
Initialize Dataset.;
Call Fill method of the adapter passes dataset as the parameter.;
Close connection.;
Can I have data from two different sources into a single dataset?
Yes, it is possible.
Is it possible to have tables in the dataset that are not bound to any data source?
Yes, I can create table object in code and add it to the dataset.
What is the use of DataSet?
DataSet acts as a virtual table. The value is retrieved from the database and stores in the DataSet. Then we can pass the data to the DataGrid through DataSet.
Can you explain the difference between an ADO.NET Dataset and an ADO Recordset?
In ADO, the in-memory representation of data is the recordset. In ADO.NET, it is the dataset. There are important differences between them.
o A recordset looks like a single table. If a recordset is to contain data from multiple database tables, it must use a JOIN query, which assembles the data from the various database tables into a single result table. In contrast, a dataset is a collection of one or more tables. The tables within a dataset are called data tables; specifically, they are DataTable objects. If a dataset contains data from multiple database tables, it will typically contain multiple DataTable objects. That is, each DataTable object typically corresponds to a single database table or view. In this way, a dataset can mimic the structure of the underlying database. A dataset usually also contains relationships. A relationship within a dataset is analogous to a foreign-key relationship in a database -that is, it associates rows of the tables with each other. For example, if a dataset contains a table about investors and another table about each investor's stock purchases, it could also contain a relationship connecting each row of the investor table with the corresponding rows of the purchase table. Because the dataset can hold multiple, separate tables and maintain information about relationships between them, it can hold much richer data structures than a recordset, including self-relating tables and tables with many-to-many relationships.
o In ADO you scan sequentially through the rows of the recordset using the ADO MoveNext method. In ADO.NET, rows are represented as collections, so you can loop through a table as you would through any collection, or access particular rows via ordinal or primary key index. DataRelation objects maintain information about master and detail records and provide a method that allows you to get records related to the one you are working with. For example, starting from the row of the Investor table for "Nate Sun," you can navigate to the set of rows of the Purchase table describing his purchases. A cursor is a database element that controls record navigation, the ability to update data, and the visibility of changes made to the database by other users. ADO.NET does not have an inherent cursor object, but instead includes data classes that provide the functionality of a traditional cursor. For example, the functionality of a forward-only, read-only cursor is available in the ADO.NET DataReader object. For more information about cursor functionality, see Data Access Technologies.
o Minimized Open Connections: In ADO.NET you open connections only long enough to perform a database operation, such as a Select or Update. You can read rows into a dataset and then work with them without staying connected to the data source. In ADO the recordset can provide disconnected access, but ADO is designed primarily for connected access. There is one significant difference between disconnected processing in ADO and ADO.NET. In ADO you communicate with the database by making calls to an OLE DB provider. In ADO.NET you communicate with the database through a data adapter (an OleDbDataAdapter, SqlDataAdapter, OdbcDataAdapter, or OracleDataAdapter object), which makes calls to an OLE DB provider or the APIs provided by the underlying data source. The important difference is that in ADO.NET the data adapter allows you to control how the changes to the dataset are transmitted to the database - by optimizing for performance, performing data validation checks, or adding any other extra processing. Data adapters, data connections, data commands, and data readers are the components that make up a .NET Framework data provider. Microsoft and third-party providers can make available other .NET Framework data providers that can be integrated into Visual Studio.
o Sharing Data Between Applications. Transmitting an ADO.NET dataset between applications is much easier than transmitting an ADO disconnected recordset. To transmit an ADO disconnected recordset from one component to another, you use COM marshalling. To transmit data in ADO.NET, you use a dataset, which can transmit an XML stream.
o Richer data types.COM marshalling provides a limited set of data types - those defined by the COM standard. Because the transmission of datasets in ADO.NET is based on an XML format, there is no restriction on data types. Thus, the components sharing the dataset can use whatever rich set of data types they would ordinarily use.
o Performance. Transmitting a large ADO recordset or a large ADO.NET dataset can consume network resources; as the amount of data grows, the stress placed on the network also rises. Both ADO and ADO.NET let you minimize which data is transmitted. But ADO.NET offers another performance advantage, in that ADO.NET does not require data-type conversions. ADO, which requires COM marshalling to transmit records sets among components, does require that ADO data types be converted to COM data types.
o Penetrating Firewalls.A firewall can interfere with two components trying to transmit disconnected ADO recordsets. Remember, firewalls are typically configured to allow HTML text to pass, but to prevent system-level requests (such as COM marshalling) from passing.

The thyroid gland is located in the front part of the neck, in front of the trachea (windpipe) and esophagus (food-pipe).
Normally, it cannot be seen and usually cannot be felt. It has 2 lobes, the left and the right lobe. These lobes are connected by a bridge of tissue, called the isthmus, to form a dumbbell or butterfly-shaped organ. The thyroid gland takes up iodine from the food we eat. It also makes several important hormones, called thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones help regulate the body's metabolism, or how the body creates and uses energy. The thyroid gland contains 2 main types of cells. Cells called thyroid follicle cells make and store the thyroid hormone. Cells called C-cells make a hormone called calcitonin. This hormone helps control the calcium levels in the body.
There are 4 small parathyroid glands usually attached at the back of the thyroid gland. They make a hormone called parathyroid hormone. Parathyroid hormone, along with the hormone calcitonin, controls the levels of calcium in the blood.
Women get thyroid cancer more often than men do. Thyroid cancer is often found at a younger age than most other adult cancers. In fact, nearly 2 our of 3 thyroid cancers are found in people younger than age 55. Very few thyroid cancers occur in children and teens.
Most thyroid nodules (or lumps) are not cancerous. They are sometimes found as lumps on the neck. People can get thyroid nodules at any age, but older adults get them more often. A person may have a multinodular goiter, which means that the thyroid has several nodules. These nodules are sometimes cysts with fluid in them. There can also be extra lumps filled with thyroid hormone, which are called colloid nodules. These are not cancer. Without a biopsy and other tests, however, it is very hard to tell what a thyroid nodule is made of and whether it is cancer or not.
Papillary carcinoma. This is the most common kind of thyroid cancer. It occurs in about 80% of people with thyroid cancer. It is sometimes called papillary cancer or papillary adenocarcinoma.
Follicular carcinoma. This is the second most common type of thyroid cancer. It occurs in 10% of people with thyroid cancer. It is sometimes called follicular cancer, follicular carcinoma, or follicular adenocarcinoma. This kind of cancer usually starts in the thyroid follicle cells.
Medullary thyroid. This cancer occurs in less than 5% of people with thyroid cancer. It is a cancer of the parafollicular or C-cells (named after their production of calcitonin). It can occur sporadically or, in some cases, there is a genetic link, which is called familial medullary thyroid cancer. A blood test can be done to see whether someone carries the gene. If the test shows the gene, family members of the patient should also be tested. This is so that cancer can be prevented or found at an earlier stage in those with the genes.
Anaplastic carcinoma. This occurs in about 2% of people with thyroid cancer. It is also called undifferentiated because the immature cells do not look like the thyroid cells. This type of cancer grows quickly and can be harder to treat than the other types of thyroid cancer.
Some of the symptoms of thyroid cancer include: a lump over the thyroid or elsewhere in the neck, neck pain, neck swelling, hoarseness, trouble swallowing, trouble breathing, and a cough that lasts for a long time and is not related to a cold. These symptoms can be caused by many other things besides thyroid cancer. It is important to be checked by a doctor if you have any of these symptoms.
In a thyroid scan, the person will either swallow or be injected with a very small amount of radioactive iodine. A special camera will measure how much iodine is taken up by the thyroid. The scan may show areas within the thyroid without iodine uptake. These are called cold spots and can represent cancer. A biopsy of these is needed because many cold areas are not cancerous. Whole body scans are most helpful after a diagnosis of cancer is made, and can help tell doctors if the cancer has spread to places outside the thyroid gland. Blood tests, including the thyroglobulin test, are also usually done.
Thyroid cancer may be treated with surgery, radioactive iodine therapy, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, or a combination of these.
The goal of surgery is to remove the tumor from the thyroid, while leaving as much of the thyroid as possible intact. Sometimes the entire thyroid may have to be removed. If this happens, patients will need to take thyroid hormone pills for the rest of their lives, to replace their own missing thyroid hormone.
The goal of radioactive iodine therapy (RAI) is to kill cancer cells using radioactive iodine. RAI is a special form of radiation using iodine. The thyroid cells are uniquely hungry for iodine and pick it up from the blood after injection. This leads to high doses within both the normal and cancerous thyroid, which will kill these cells. Other cells in the body, which do not take up iodine do not get radiation and avoid destruction. If needed, radioiodine treatments can be repeated more than once, to make sure all cancer cells are destroyed. (The same radioactive iodine is used to do a thyroid scan, but much larger doses are used for this treatment.)
The goal of radiation therapy is to kill cancer cells using X-rays. This treatment is used to shrink a tumor before surgery or to get rid of any remaining cancer cells after surgery. Sometimes it is used to treat cancers that cannot be surgically removed.
Chemotherapy is rarely used to treat thyroid cancer. Chemotherapy may be given along with radiation to treat anaplastic thyroid cancer. In thyroid cancer, chemotherapy is less effective than radioactive iodine therapy and usually used when the cancer has spread or has not responded to the radioiodine treatment.
Clinical trials are studies of new kinds of cancer treatments. Doctors conduct clinical trials to learn about how well new treatments work and what their side effects are. If they look promising, they are then compared with the current treatment to see if they work better or have fewer side effects. People who participate in these studies may benefit from access to new treatments before the FDA approves them. Participants also help further our understanding of cancer and help future cancer patients. Clinical trials studying the effectiveness of multikinase inhibitors have recently shown promise for treatment of thyroid and other cancers which have been resistant to other therapies
Many people with cancer get a second opinion from another doctor. There are many reasons to get a second opinion, including if the person is not comfortable with the treatment decision, if the type of cancer is rare, if there are different ways to treat the cancer, or if the person is not able to see a cancer expert.
There are many ways to get a second opinion:
Ask a primary care doctor. He or she may be able to recommend a specialist, such as a surgeon, medical oncologist, or radiation oncologist. Sometimes these doctors work together at cancer centers or programs.
Call the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service. The number is 800-4-CANCER (800-422-6237). They have information about treatment facilities, including cancer centers and other programs supported by the National Cancer Institute.
Seek other options. Patients can get names of doctors from their local medical society, a nearby hospital, a medical school, or local cancer advocacy groups, as well as from other people who have had the same type of cancer.

A cook tosses a generous fistful of diced carrots, cabbage and celery into oil crackling in a pan at a food stall on a Mumbai sidewalk, before reluctantly adding a meager sprinkling of onions.
"I just cannot afford to add more," Govind Ram said as one of his chefs whipped up his signature vegetable manchurian dry — a dish reliant on a heavy dose of red and spring onions for its flavor.
Ram, who owns a street stall in southern Mumbai, usually uses about 45kg of onions a month.
However, with prices having more than doubled since the start of the year, he has had no choice but to rethink his ingredients.
At roadside stalls and supermarkets, customers are paying as much as 28 rupees to 40 rupees (US$0.55 to US$0.75) per kilo for onions, an eye-watering rise from December last year when costs were about 10 rupees to 15 rupees.
While food prices are up across the board, the cost of onions has increased more dramatically than any other staple, Indian government data showed this month.
"It really hits the lower-income [groups] very hard, who spend a sizeable portion of earnings on food. It is pinching them every day," said Devendra Pant, chief economist with India Ratings, a branch of ratings agency Fitch.
Such high costs, along with general food inflation of approximately 12 percent, are a potent problem for the Indian National Congress Party-led government as it bids for a third consecutive term in a general election early next year.
Onions may not be the most vital source of nutrition, but they are regarded as essential to spice-loving palates, which — when dissatisfied — can play a crucial hand in politics.
In January 1980, former Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi strode back to power with the help of rising onion prices, saying that a government has no right to govern if it cannot control onion costs.
Eighteen years later, an election defeat for the ruling Delhi State government was blamed in part on a six-fold surge in onion prices.
Politicians are already falling out of favor with the latest price rises.
"The government just does not care for us or what we think," said Sumathi Arogyanathan, a 45-year-old housemaid living in a Mumbai slum. "Earlier, several meals included onions for vegetables and the occasional fish. Now it's just once a week. Now, often we have podi [a dry spiced lentil powder] instead of vegetables with rice."
Traders in the western state of Maharashtra, one of India's main onion bowls, say prices are up due to erratic weather, late arrival of supplies, sustained demand and rising production costs.
Yet a recent report commisioned by fair trade regulator the Competition Commission of India said traders' cartels and hoarding were affecting the cost of onions, 15 million tonnes of which are normally consumed each year.
An "onion crisis" of soaring prices in 2010 saw Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's administration step in forcefully, banning onion exports, scrapping import taxes and even trucking in onions from archrival Pakistan.
This time, again wary of how onion prices influence public opinion, New Delhi is keen to be seen taking action.
Economists expected the government to outline some incentives or measures in the federal budget on Thursday in a bid to bring down the prices of fruit and vegetables.
"India has typically always adopted a 'fire-fighting' approach: When a fire erupts, we will douse it," said Dharmakirti Joshi, chief economist with ratings firm Crisil.
Chief Minister of Delhi Sheila Dikshit has told the Indian Department of Food Supplies and Consumer Affairs to "take action against hoarders," while Indian Minister of National Railways Pawan Kumar Bansal has promised more wagons to speed up supplies.
However, without long-term, systemic solutions, onion prices may stay high for some time yet.

What do you want to know? There's lots of info available on the internet. If you're in the neighborhood I highly recommend you also check out the Terracotta Army. It's definitely worth a visit.
There is supposed to be some very imposing lines but I heard that the govt disallows any real climbing. I'm planning a trip there in a few weeks but I'll probably just follow the standard 'trail'.

Gov't Arrests Illegal Menendez Intern
The Associated Press has learned that a registered sex offender working as an unpaid intern for Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey is facing deportation after being arrested by federal immigration authorities.
A U.S. official told The Associated Press that officials at the Homeland Security Department instructed immigration agents not to arrest 18-year-old Luis Abrahan Sanchez Zavaleta until after Election Day.
Sanchez, who entered the U.S. on a now-expired visitor visa from Peru, was arrested Dec. 6 at his New Jersey home.
The official says Sanchez told agents he was working on immigration issues in one of Menendez' New Jersey offices. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.

Oakland-based artist Grady Gordon produces ghoulish black and white monotype prints. The knowledge that each image is unique contributes to a sense that the figures depicted are real. That at any moment they could leave the paper and enter your nightmares. Until this year, Gordon only depicted heads in his work; the full figures definitely amplify the gruesome vibe. But the heads definitely have their appeal as well- leering faces that move in and out of swirling blacks. Gordon is having a solo show in Denver in October. Some of these works will be on view then.
The best way to stay current with the world of Grady Gordon is to follow the dude on instagram @joaquindead. Don't blame me if you never sleep again though. More full figures and previews of the Denver show after the jump.

Pets, Pets, Pets
"I want all of you to know without a glimmer of uncertainty, that all of our pets, and animals of every kind, live on the Other Side, also known as "heaven" or "the afterlife."
... Sylvia Browne, psychic and spiritual teacher...
...and so begins the book Ghost Cats by Dusty Rainbolt, an historical and testimonial collection detailing human encounters with feline spirits...a mesmerizing read for cat and ghost lovers alike, a book not meant to frighten us (well, just a little), but more to comfort all who have ever lost a cherished cat. These many touching tales of felines who refused to let death separate them from their human companions bring consolation and hope.
People have long noted that cats are mystical. Ghost Cats takes these feline supernatural powers to a higher level. Dusty Rainbolt, a multi award winning cat writer, product editor for Catnip (Tufts' veterinary newsletter), and foster Mom to many orphaned kittens, was skeptical too until her fragile tuxedo Maynard "came back" to say his final goodbye.
This foster kitten had been born hydrocephalic and at 8 months died while Dusty was away. Even though his condition limited his lifespan, she felt guilty for not being there. Two weeks later, Dusty sensed Maynard's return one night as he slept against her. She felt at peace and forgiven. A cat ghost? Get real. Did she conjure him up? She started to question her own sanity. That's when she reached out to others about similar paranormal encounters. The response was overwhelming and unexpected.
The many cat ghost experiences reported were not scary (with the exception of the harbinger "Demon Cat" who resides in the basement of the Capitol Building in DC and has been spotted before the Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations and the 1929 stock crash.) Most folks said that their feline phantoms brought them closure, final farewells, lessened guilt over obtaining a new pet, or granted them permission to get on with their lives. Certain ghostly visitors including "Blu" a resident cat at a veterinary hospital and "Mikey Mouser" a purrsonal therapist re-surfaced briefly to pass the "cat-love" torch to their protégées.
Some cats appear to their guardians; others announce their presence to guests in the home. The cat apparitions manifest themselves in creative ways- an orb of light, a meow or purr, a brush by or cuddle; phantom litter boxes, invisible playmates to other cats. "Trixie" gave her favorite ripped recliner one last scratch; "Dyna" stared in the window at the candle lit in her memory; "Grungy" had tea with a lady dying of cancer; "Spooky" still lingers outside the screen door to converse with his kitty housemates.
Later Dusty describes hotels and public buildings rumored to have cat spirits. "Morris" a huge orange cat who resided at the Crescent Hotel in Eureka Springs, Arkansas waited for his favorite guest to return so he could jump up on her lap. "Tom Cat" was a casualty of the Civil War during a Georgia battle but, according to many witnesses, his specter still walks the ruins of Fort McAllister.
The author also explores feline folklore and reminds us that cats, particularly black cats are revered as sacred or symbols of good luck over most of the world. Their value as rodent hunters has saved the food supply of civilizations. Think...Egypt. Because of witchcraft hysteria and the Church's persecution during the Middle Ages, cats were almost wiped out. Hence, people were almost wiped out too, since the Bubonic Plague is carried by rat fleas. Presently the evil black cat stigma continues to ruin the reputation of black cats in the US, Belgium and Spain.
With Halloween approaching, rescue groups are split on whether
black cat adoption bans" help or hurt these poor cats least likely to find homes anyway.)
...But I digress, Ghost Cats celebrates the special bond we have with our departed whiskered pals; and strengthens the possibility that there is a Rainbow Bridge where we will be reunited with all our beloved pets one day. Whether or not you believe in ghost stories, if you are a cat lover, Ghost Cats by Dusty Rainbolt is a "must" for your book shelfavailable at the Lyons Press, www.globepequot.com, or at Amazon.com. Just ask the literary ghost cat who wanders the Cumberland University Library in Tennessee. He'll agree.
The dogs and cats at Oyster Bay Town Shelter (677-5784) Miller Pl. Syosset are waiting to become someone's dear companion. Take a look at the "Seven Dwarves"- a litter of adorable kittens who came in with their Dad. They are just the tip of the feline iceberg. Meanwhile "Hobo" #801 is a lovable, coated Rottie/Retriever mix.
More dogs: "Oki"#788- a Shiba Inu cutie; "Sara"#896 (aka "Ivory") - an energetic yellow Lab mix pup; "Lua" #877- the pretty Vizsla mix.
More Cats: "The Scream" #823- gorgeous longhaired orange kitten. (I can't believe he is still available.); "Catfish Hunter"- a poor black kitten who grew up at the shelter. Very playful.

In this book the author explores the work and living experiences of Confucius Institute Chinese teachers (CICTs) in the UK, how they interpret and make sense of their sojourning experience, and how this context and the wider globalised social environment have impacted on their understandings and their personal growth. Because of their betwixt and between situation, the CICTs stories differ from those of other immigrants, international students and pre-service student teachers, who have been the main focus in L2 identity research. The book offers new insights into the Confucius Institutes (CI) with real life stories from teachers drawn from blogs, interviews and focus groups, drawing attention in the process to weaknesses of the CI programme and offering suggestions for ways forward which will be of interest to both stakeholders and those responsible for future international exchange programmes.
Taking Chinese to the World is one of the first works published outside China that addresses issues around the development of the influential Confucius Institute network. It contributes to research in the field of intercultural education/communication by looking at the transnational experiences of Confucius Institute Chinese teachers who live and teach in the UK. Insightfully and sensitively it addresses the impact of working abroad, not only on Chinese teachers' changed perception of the host culture but also on how they feel about their own country.- Xiao Lan Curdt-Christiansen, University of Reading, UK
This book is a timely and richly nuanced study of the experiences of Confucius Institute Chinese teachers working in the UK.

1. TERMS & CONDITIONS OF SALE. The following conditions of sale make up the entire terms and conditions on which items listed in our catalog, on the internet web site and addendum sheets will be offered for sale or sold by Bentley & Associates, LLC (known hereafter as "Bentley's"). All bidders who participate by bidding in this auction agree to the terms and condition of sale and agree to be bound by same. Any notices, posted or oral during the sale, are also part of our condition of sale agreement. Acceptance of a bidder card or a bidder number constitutes acceptance of the following terms and conditions of sale. The purchaser's rights and our respective rights and obligations hereunder are governed by Texas law. By bidding at our auction whether in person or by agent, sealed bid, telephone bid, via the internet or other means, the buyer or bidder agree that the contract created by these conditions of sale is made and performed in the County of Rock Island, State of Texas and further agrees that should any dispute arise from this contract the jurisdiction for contractual disputes is Rock Island County. AUCTIONEER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ERRORS OF THE BUYER INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE BUYER BIDDING ON THE WRONG LOT.
2. METHOD OF PAYMENT. Auction sales are strictly for cash, cashier's check or checks with Bank Letter of Guarantee, American Express, MasterCard, Visa or Discover. NOTE TO FOREIGN BUYERS: Method of payment will be U.S. currency, certified check drawn on an American bank or wire transfer.
3. BUYER'S PREMIUM AND SALES TAX. All bid prices "hammer prices" (means the price at which a lot is knocked down to the purchaser) will be subject to a buyer's premium 15% payable by the purchaser. The buyer's premium shall be reduced to 10% provided the payment is paid by cash or the equivalent of cash (cashier's check, wire transfer, or approved personal check). If the account is settled by credit card, the buyer's premium then shall be the standard 15%. This is not an aggregate percentage on the total items bid rather a per item percentage rate. The premium is added to your successful bid and the two together equal the total purchase price. Some items are exempt from Texas sales tax and others may be subject to Texas sales tax or local sales tax. The tax is computed on the total purchase price. To establish a tax free sale, a copy of a valid reseller's permit or other instrument of information must be provided to our satisfaction establishing a sales tax exemption. Any purchaser claiming an exemption yet unable to provide proof will be required to pay the tax to us and seek a refund from the State of Texas. Generally, all items shipped out of state are tax free sales. We have been authorized by the consignor to retain as part of our remuneration, the buyer's premium payable by the purchaser.
4. TERMS OF PAYMENT. At the announcement of "SOLD", the highest bidder will have purchased the offered lot. All sales are final at the fall of the Auctioneer's hammer or at the announcement of "sold". This purchase is subject to all the terms and conditions set forth herein. The purchaser assumes full responsibility thereof and if requested will sign a confirmation of the purchase. The purchaser further agrees to pay the purchase price, buyer's premium and any applicable taxes. All items purchased by successful bidders must be paid for in full the day of sale.
Each purchaser at this auction grants us a security in the property purchased. We may retain as collateral security for the purchaser's obligations to us any of the purchaser's property and all monies held or received by us. We may apply against such obligations monies held or received by us for the account of, or owing to, the purchaser. We retain all rights of a secured party under the Texas Commercial Code. Whenever the purchaser pays only a part of the total price for one or more lots purchased, we may apply such payments, at our sole discretion, to the lot or lots we choose. Payment will not be deemed made in full until we have collected all amounts due in cash on good funds (by our definition). If the conditions of sale are not complied with, in addition to remedies available to us and the consignor by law, we hold the purchaser liable for the purchase price, 15% buyers premium, and applicable sales tax, we at our option may either (1) cancel the sale, retain as liquidated damages all payments made by the purchaser or (2) resell the property either publicly or privately, and in such an event the purchaser shall be liable for the payment of any deficiency plus all costs and expenses of both sales and our commission at our standard rates. The purchaser is also responsible for all other charges due hereunder attorney's fees and incidental damages, etc.
5. INTEREST AND DEFAULT. Payment is due upon receipt. If the buyer's invoice is not paid in full within 15 days of the auction, Bentley's has the right and will charge the buyer's credit card of record on file for the total invoice amount. Interest will be charged on all balances not paid at the rate of 1-1/2% (18% APR) effective 15 days from the date of purchase/auction. Should the buyer not comply with any of the Terms and Conditions of Sale, the damage recoverable from the defaulter shall include any loss arising on the resale of the lot, together with the charges and expenses in respect of both sales, interest from the date of the sale as well as any legal or collection fees incurred. Bentley's shall hold any money deposited in partial payment on account of any liability of the defaulted item and will apply it at the sole discretion of Bentley's to the outstanding debt.
6. PROTESTS, DISPUTES AND THE AUCTIONEER. We reserve the right to reject a bid from any bidder. The highest bidder, acknowledged by the auctioneer, will be the purchaser. The Auctioneer shall have sole and final discretion as to the disposition of any dispute including the re-offer and resale of any article in dispute. Any dispute after the sale our records will be deemed conclusive in all respects.
7. WITHDRAWAL. We reserve the right to withdraw any property prior to sale.
8. If we are prevented by fire, theft, or any other reason from delivering any property to the purchaser, our liability shall be limited to the sum actually paid therefore by the purchaser and shall in no event include any incidental or consequential damages.
9. GUARANTEE. All property offered for sale is as is, where is. ALL SALES ARE FINAL. THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS AND NO EXCHANGES. Bentley & Associates, LLC does not guarantee or make warranties on any lot sold. Descriptions in the catalog are opinion. They are written as an aid to potential bidders. We acknowledge that there may be errors in what is written. Bottom line is if you bid on it and you are successful you own it. We strongly recommend you to personally view any item you bid on or have an acknowledged expert view the item. Bentley & Associates, LLC will have no obligation including no refunds or returns will be accepted if the above conditions are not met. Items offered for sale as described in the catalog or any bill of sale, advertisement, addendum sheet, or elsewhere as to authorship, period, culture, source, origin, measurement, quality, rarity, provenance, importance, exhibition, physical condition are qualified statements of opinion and not representations or warranties. No employee of Bentley & Associates, LLC or any person purporting to act on behalf of Bentley & Associates, LLC is authorized to make on our behalf or that of the consignor, any representation or warranty, oral or written, with respect to any lot or item for sale.
10. The Conditions of Sale shall bind the successors and assigns of all bidders and purchasers and inure to the benefit of our successors and assigns. No waiver, amendment or modification of the terms hereof (other than posted notices or oral announcements during the sale) shall bind us unless specifically stated in writing signed by us. If any part of these Conditions of Sale is for any reason invalid or unenforceable, the rest shall remain valid and enforceable.
11. RESERVES. Some items in this auction may be subject to reserve (the confidential minimum price below which the lot will not be sold). If a lot is offered with a reserve, we may implement that reserve by bidding on behalf of the consignor. No reserve will be allowed higher than the high estimate and in many cases the reserve is lower than the low estimate. This bidding will not generally constitute opening bidding. If Bentley's declares an opening bid and no advance to that bid is received we will pass the item. However once bidding is opened we will bid on behalf of the consignor to reach the reserve price. Nominal bids – the auctioneer may reject nominal bids, small opening bids or very nominal advances made with the purpose of disparaging an item. If a lot fails to achieve a bid equal to or exceeding 25 - 30% of the low estimate, the item may be passed and not sold and may not be re-offered until a later sale this is at the sole discretion of the auctioneer and an auctioneer may in fact sell the item. If we have an interest in an offered lot and the proceeds there from other than our commission, we may bid therefore to protect such interest. Items which are not reserved are sold at the auctioneer's discretion.
12. Consignors are not allowed to bid on their own merchandise nor have any agent bid on their behalf. If the Auctioneer recognizes such bidding or is advised of same, the Auctioneer reserves the right to withdraw any or all items consigned by the offending consignor, no exceptions.
13. TELEPHONE BIDDING. In order to bid on a lot over the telephone at the time it is being sold you must contact us in advance to make arrangements. Generally if you contact us by 2 p.m. the day preceding the sale we will have plenty of time to process your Information. Any bids received later than this date risk being not executed. The day of the sale that you have lot(s) to bid on a representative of Bentley's will contact you prior to your lot(s) going up for sale and familiarize themselves with you. Telephone Bids may be faxed to (806)351-2284 or they can be submitted through our online service.
14. ABSENTEE BIDDING. As a service to anyone wishing to place bids in advance of the sale we may accept bids to bid on a potential bidders behalf at our own discretion by telephone or sealed bid using the forms we provide. A Sealed Bid must be received and credit approved in advance of sale date. Buyers acknowledge by bidding absentee via mail, e-mail, telephone, through internet providers, or any other absentee means (not in person bidding) no fiduciary duty exist between the bidder and Bentley's.
In order to expedite notification of your bidding all clients with a Bentley's web account will be notified via email that you were successful and to check your account. A form is provided for you there to complete and return to us in regards to shipping instructions and method of payment. Once we receive the form we then follow up with a phone call to confirm all information is correct, upon receiving payment and any applicable licensing we process your order. If you do not have a web account with us we will call you regarding payment and shipping instructions and follow up with an invoice in the mail.
On line bidding is available through third party providers. Potential bidders are informed those services charge an additional buyers premium above and beyond the premium charged by Bentley's.

The new owner of the Class 3 firearm will be required to complete 3 forms - 1) ATF Form 4, 2) fingerprint card, 3) ATF form 5330.20 Certificate of Compliance. These forms will be provided to you by Bentley & Associates, LLC.

The journey's at an end. A final challenge awaits. Time for a guitar solo. It's also time to list our favourite boss music. I've been wanting to ask this one for a while, and since getting inspired by a few other lists I saw floating around, I thought I'd make one of my own.
I have a few favourites. While it's a clichéd choice, I have to say that the standard boss music from Final Fantasy VII kicks so much arse that I have to put it up top. Additional favourites include "Master of Shadow," the sub-boss music from Persona 3:
As well as a recent addition, the Gilwing boss fight music from NiGHTS Into Dreams, which (at 1:05) has my favourite sax solo in video games:
OK, those are three of my favourites. Now it's your turn. What's your favourite boss music in any game, any genre? Be sure to include a YouTube link for our listening pleasure.

How to install Puppy without burning a CD
Subject description: A no-CD installation procedure using Puppy iso
I Hate burning CDs. Its a slow tedious procedure and the CD is useless once the install is completed. So, faced with having no CDRs available to burn my newly downloaded Puppy Linux 4.00 iso. I searched around for a way to install puppy with out burning any CD.
I have a Sony Vaio FS630W laptop running Ubuntu. The general idea is to mount the iso so it can be read like a mounted CD. Copy the files on the iso to a directory and tell grub how to boot from that directory. Follow along:
1. Download Puppy Linux to your home or any directory.
2. Create a mount point for the Puppy iso.
sudo mkdir /media/iso
(In ubuntu use sudo; in other distros use su to become superuser)
3. Mount the iso
sudo mount /home/mydir/puppy-4.00-k220.127.116.11-seamonkey.iso /media/iso -o loop
4. Copy the files on the iso image to a permanent directory. This is the directory GRUB will boot Puppy from.
sudo mkdir /puppy
sudo cp /media/iso/* /puppy
5. Now that all the Puppy files are copied to your /puppy directory, you no longer need the iso so go ahead and unmount it.
sudo umount /media/iso
6. Now we change the menu.lst file of grub to enable booting our new pet.
sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
7. Copy the configuration below to the bottom of the menu.lst file. Keep in mind the "root (hd0,2) means the 3rd partition on my machine. You must use the same number as the one where your /puppy directory is located.
#Puppy Linux
title PuppyLinux
root (hd0,2)
kernel /puppy/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0
initrd /puppy/initrd.gz
8. Save the menu.lst file and reboot your system. When the Grub menu comes up, use the down arrow to highlight the puppylinux selection and puppy will boot just as if you had booted the computer with a CD.
You can now install Puppy to HD or usb or just keep using it.

Puppy has ISO editing/building software like ISOmaster, so all you have to do is open the ISO and extract the files then use it in frugal install in the hard disk, or in flash drive.

Post subject: Using Netboot
If you want to run
PUPs without installing anything consider this
Instructions there offer you the ability to boot any PC on your LAN.
In fact, the instructions show you how to:
have it boot without user interaction straight to desktop
have it boot allowing user to hit F2 and tailor Puppy start options
have it boot to a GRUB menu where the user can select which PUP the PC is to boot
Hope this helps

I do a frugall install to hard-disk like this.
Example for slacko in partition sda6 :
- create a new folder SLACKO-5.3 in partition /mnt/sda6/
- download slacko iso
- left click iso to mount it
- copy 3 files : initrd.gz, *.sfs and vmlinuz in folder /mnt/sda6/SLACKO-5.3/
- left click iso to unmount it
- for grub, add to menu.lst :
title Slacko version 5.3
root (hd0,5)
kernel (hd0,5)/SLACKO-5.3/vmlinuz root=/dev/ram0
initrd (hd0,5)/SLACKO-5.3/initrd.gz

Does the grub4dos treat it as same code?

Yet another way to install is to download one of the install exe files for windows.
You download the exe for the Puppy of your choice, or follow the directions closely on making an exe install file for Puppy.
Run the exe file and Puppy gets installed.
No burning required.

I use UNetbootin for this.
But it requires two Ubuntu packages:
"mtools", and "p7zip-full"
You can download it from here:
The required packages:
I have almost forgotten !:
Boot parameters for booting from pendrive (or any usb flash device):
puppy pmedia=usbflash
Boot parameters for booting from an external HDD (USB):
puppy pmedia=usbhd

Short answer: folder works fine. As long as you 'point' grub to where you are booting from, you can put puppy in a folder and tell grub to boot from that folder.
But as you can see from the various other posts, there are many, many ways to get Puppy installed and running. I've used the Window's exe installer many times on various types of Puppy as well, works great. Viva la versatility of Puppy!
The initial instructions listed by the first poster are a good outline of roughly what I do all the time, trying out new Puppy's and such. Takes as long as the download takes, installs quickly, etc. Did that to try out the new Slacko yesterday, works like a champ.

Where do you guys put your wakeplate while surfing?
So we have been out surfing probably 4 times since buying our boat (2007 lsv with gravity 3) and are trying to get the wake dialed in. This is what we have found out so far; About 9 mph, 750 lb sack in the surfing side locker, 400 lb sack in the middle ski locker, 2-3 people on the back surfing side, and the wake plate about 1/2 way up according to the gauge. The wave seems to be better on the port side I believe due to the rotation of the prop? This seems to give us a pretty good wake so far, but any tips would be great. I know I can add more ballasts but probably won't for the time being. thanks guys.Scott
2007 Mobius LSV with a lot of great upgrades and mods
I run all the way up unless I have a lot of people. Then, I run just above half way up. This is at about 10 mph and with 750 in the port rear locker, 400 (filled to about 330 or so) under the seat where the cooler used to be, and 400 in the center floor. For my daughter who ways about 115# I run just under half way on the plate.My Mom said I'm not allowed to get wet!

Plenty of weight, but 1100 would be better. That is my setup, 1100 surf side 400 ski locker. Yes goofy side is better due to prop rotation. I only have 650 in that locker and it's good.
Wakeplate all the way up is what I like, it's steepest. I put it at half ot 3/4 for some more inexperienced people. But last night my one buddy said he liked it all the way up too and he's barely past dropping the rope.
You're going too slow. 10.3 with your setup is about minimum in my experience. I ride at 11.
Adding people just makes the wake bigger, but we surf with just a driver in the boat all day long.

My ballast surf set up is the same as yours but I run at 10 mph with the wakeplate all the way up. Be sure your speedo is calibrated. Since the boat is new two you, bring a gps with you next time out and calibrate your speedo.Al

Surfed for a few hors last night with the wakeplate all the way up at about 9.5-10 mph and we were getting a pretty good wave.Scott

The problem is that every boat and every load (people, fuel, cargo etc.) is different. Even if you have the same ballast and trim setup everything else changes with different people and what you bring on, even fuel consumption.
Two 115# kids wanted to go to the bow which completely changed the wake (made it better).
Maybe some discussion on weight placement and ratios (front to back, side to side) or formulas that work best. After that there is fine tuning but that is another thing. What are the best theories?
I am replacing everything with 1,100 in each locker and 1,200 in the locker up front so I will be starting completely over from stock.2007 XLV Gravity Games

Trim tabs (or the Wake Plate for you guys), as the same effect on the wake as shifting the ballast in the boat from front-to-rear or vice versa.
Putting the plate in a more up position will have the same impact as moving the distribution of weight back in the boat; you'll get a taller, shorter wake with more push. So if you don't have that much weight in the boat, you're a heavier rider, or you're on a smaller, slower board, you'll probably want the Wake Plate in a more up position.
Putting the plate down more will have the same impact as moving the distribution of weight forward in the boat; you'll get a longer, shorter wake with less push. You're "spreading" the wake out further behind the boat. So if you have a lot of weight in the boat, you're a lighter rider, or you're on a bigger, faster board, you'll probably want the Wake Plate in a more down position to give you the longest wake possible that still has enough push to support you without the rope.

It has been the residence of artists and writers including Walter Spies and Theo Meier, since the late 1930s this remarkable house with the amazing view has attracted celebrities and superstars including the likes of Mick Jagger and David Bowie…
Blessed with what must be one of the most spectacular views in the world, the "Walter Spies House" in Iseh has has been a magnet for artists, musicians, writers, filmmakers, ethnologists, politicians and royalty for nearly seventy years. The House rests upon a hillside at Iseh, just eight kilometers from the summit of the mighty Gunung Agung. Bali's highest and holiest mountain and dwelling place of gods. The spellbinding vista of the volcano, together with the powerful spiritual energy that radiates from its slopes, has clearly been a constant source of inspiration for the famous residents and guests, of this extraordinary property.
In 1937, Walter Spies, the illustrious German artist who settled in Bali 1927 until his untimely death in 1942, built what he described as a "mountain hut" at Iseh in Karangasem. Adored by the Balinese, Spies was the co-founder of the Pita Maha artists cooperative, he shaped the development of Balinese art and established the Westerners Image of Bali that still exists today. After Living for nine Years at the confluence of two rivers in Campuan, Spies grew weary of his increasingly hectic social life, and retired to the tranquil mountain retreat that was to become the setting of some of his most beautiful and atmospheric paintings, including "Iseh im Morgenlicht 1938" Despite his desire to escape from a constant stream of visitors, Spies still used to receive guests at Iseh, including the Austrian novelist, Vicki Baum: musician, Colin McPhee: and Swiss artist, Theo Meier. When Hitler invaded Holland in 1940, all German nationals in Indonesia were arrested as enemy aliens, Spies was interned for twenty months, before meeting his death aboard a prisoner of war ship that was sunk by a Japanese torpedo boat while crossing the Indian Ocean.
Theo Meier, as a neutral Country, received permission to stay in Bali. Hhe leased Spies mountain hut from the ruling princely Ksatriya family of Sideman for eleven years. Like Walter Spies, he entertained a great number of guests whenever they stopped over on the island: his pleasure and expertise in cultural matters, culinary delights and all things alcoholic, was almost as legendary as his artistic output. Tjokorda Gede Gangin, the prince of Sideman, has created a greenbelt to preserve the rural farmland and panoramic backdrop of agung.
Tjokorda Gede Gangin lived in the property for much of the time that it was leased to Theo Meier and remembers many of his distinguished visitors, one of whom was Prince Sanidh Rangsit of Thailand. Another was Jean Paul Getty Jr, the wealthy American-born British philanthropist and book-collector, who apparently spent many hours of each day walking through the rice fields an attempt to placate his troubled soul!
It was Iseh that Anna Mathews wrote her riveting novel, "The Night of Purnama", a harrowing eyewitness account of the catastrophic eruption of Gunung Agung in 1963. The House was later home to the Florentine-born writer, Idanna Pucci, and other eminent guests have included Swiss Ethnologist Urs Ramseyer, author of " The Art and Culture of Bali" and also musicologist Ernst Schlager. The Prince of Sideman keeps a coveted photo Album that tells the Story of yet more celebrities who have enjoyed afternoon tea, cocktails, or alfresco dinners on the terrace, including the controversial film director, Roman Polanski, in 1987: Mick Jagger in 1991: the Sarong-clad David Bowie in 1995: and Mrs. Megawati in 1998 ( formal President of Indonesia ).
For the Last four Years the villa is the residence of Marco Boldrini, from Locarno in Switzerland. Marco describe himself as a "life artist" and shares Theo Meier's passion of cooking. Marco is also an art collector he owns paintings of Walter Spies, Theo Meier's and he has also paintings from famous Bali artist in his private collection. When he moved into the house, it was in a poor state of repair. Marco has lovingly restored it, and furnished it with custom-made tables, lamps, Kartini chairs, four-poster beds, elegant cabinets, and rich silk cushions and bedcovers, all in keeping with the style and era of the building. To maximize the breathtaking view, Marco has extended the narrow tiled verandah to create a huge deck, included a infinity swimming pool with a cozy pool house which has a spectacle view overlooking rice fields to MT Agung. The original tiled floors have been maintained and the bedrooms have been enhanced with the aural aesthetics of outdoor fountains and waterspouts, together with the practicalities of luxurious en-suite bathrooms. The single-story villa is actually a series of linked pavilions built in traditional Balinese Style and featuring ornately carved pillars, antique doors, and shuttered windows. Bedrooms have been given names such as "Waterfall" and the "Eagle Nest" - a romantic sleeping space characteristic by floating, staircase leading up to a cozy mezzanine.
Marco has introduced color, the exterior wall are deep mottled in Italian sienna red with waterfall accents, while another pavilion flaunts a warm orange theme. Large glassless windows capture the mountain within painted frames, and the small room that there is just no escaping that wonderful view! An open air passageway is adored with bell jar lanterns: Koi ponds and outdoor terraces can be found at every twist and turn, the kitchen is located on a lower level and dining takes place upon the deck under the shelter of the tiled roof with a multimedia system which included a big screen with a projector.
Anyone privileged enough to visit the property can expect every sense to be bombarded. Indeed, combined with the intense creative energy and spiritual force of "Gunung Agung", it is not in the least bit unusual to feel the presence of Walter Spies or Theo Meier within this magical mountain retreat that they both loved so much.

Bloomsday Security; Boston Solidarity
SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Spokane Police Chief Frank Straub says runners in Sunday's Bloomsday race can expect to see added security, ,especially at the beginning and end. And, two helicopters will be overhead. In light of the Boston Marathon bombing, participants are asked to report anything suspicious to officers or volunteers at the event. Bloomsday is expected to attract more than 50,000 runners. Participants will be presented with bracelets that say, "Spokane Stands with Boston."
