Margarita In A Bucket

Transsib

An old dream finally became reality: We took the Trans-Siberian Railway! Although only a relatively small part- but it does not have to be the last time. The opportunity presented itself in early November, when the "Day of National Unity" was conveniently on the date of the former holiday celebrated the October Revolution. Since this day was a Sunday, the Monday's working day was brought forward to Saturday so that a series of three free days revealed. Actually, the remaining days of the week school holidays, but still had all the teachers - and of course Klaus - and many students in the school. But that's another topic.
Anyway, we were able to finally return back to our familiar Novosibirsk to visit another Siberian city: Krasnoyarsk, about 800 km east, not in the West Siberian Plain, but on the edge of the Sayan Mountains on the Yenisei river (where Caras newly acquired knowledge in natural history).
In several weeks of preparation, I was finally able to make both a hotel reservation - the price of 200 € per night for the four of us seemed at first a joke, placed himself but unfortunately out to be real, what our future travel plans somewhat limiting - and tickets to purchase for the overnight train. For each of the booking process I had several times in two tourist offices to audition, make several phone calls and - for the train tickets - to present our passports. Spontaneous weekend trips, therefore, make a little difficult. On
Saturday night we found ourselves at dusk at the very stylish and luxuriously renovated Novosibirsk train station to take our four-bed compartment in hardware. Of course we were with the customary food (beer, brandy, sausages in batter) equipped to reach the necessary bed gravity.
The train was already in Moscow, which meant that the cars were already well preheated. Our down jackets and fur boots - for Krasnoyarsk had predicted 10 degrees - so we were once traded for T-shirts. A very friendly train conductor brought us the linen and leather straps for the safety of the upper beds. So of course the sleep issue was resolved: Children up! We erturnten for a while our compartment and then tried to sleep in the sauna-like temperatures.

The next morning we were with the train conductor of tea - take breakfast sandwiches, we had unfortunately forgotten - enjoy the view of snowy landscapes, until we arrived late morning in Krasnoyarsk.
Fortunately, corresponded to the interior of our hotel not the dreary gray of his facade. Similar comfortable we have stayed in Russia before - there were even two in the bathroom toilet paper holders next to each other!
Unfortunately the snow was in the course of the day in rain over that lasted for the entire three days of our stay. The first day we erliefen the "City", which was done fairly quickly because obviously the motto still applies for Soviet cities: "Do you know one, you know all".
was especially interesting to visit the central market, which is located in Siberia, of course, in a fixed abode, but where still available on open tables without any cooling of fresh meat, fish, fruit and wool socks are.
The next day we went with a bus on the way to the nearby nature reserve in honor of red sandstone rocks, which are traded as a geographical feature of the region. In fact, outside of us were Russian families, some with very young children, in the pouring rain snow on the road. However, we could not meet face Julius' enthusiasm about the first snow piles his life, the march tempo, so that motivate not finally after three hours Cara was further go up by quite monotonous mountain forest in order least to see the first rock solid. But we bought a postcard collection.
As widely expected, consuming and even designed interactive museum turned out to be the home of Krasnoyarsk, which offered us the last day of our departure until the afternoon train shelter from the now heavy snow shower. Here is the entire history of Siberia from the Stone Age until in 90 years to understand it - this process will take. Fortunately, there was - quite untypical for Russian museums - a nice coffee shop!
The return trip took place in other extreme temperatures: The train began only in Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, went only up, but the heating was over the whole trip is not being operated.

We were then quite happy early Wednesday morning (The train was already at 5.30 clock on) to enter, despite our parked radiator still very warm home.

White Wives And Mandingos

I was here!


I have the last two weeks, so my fall break, here in Novosibirsk and spent a very interesting time behind me. It was nice to see where my family has disappeared to, and get to know the city. I was in school and in kindergarten and have mitgelebt everyday life. I must admit it is very hard here, but also exciting because every day brings something new with it. Highlights were the two theaters and small excursions in the area of the city.
I want all of you for the beautiful Time I've spent here, and thank is those who were not here yet, only advise to stop by once a little visit.

Ty Beanie Babies1993brownievalue?

Sweet Home Evangelical Church

It's probably time to time to describe how, that is where we actually live here in Siberia. To anticipate: As soon as we close the door from the inside, we feel, to leave Russia and enter a piece of Ikea Spenge or country. And that's good. find an apartment in Novosibirsk
quick. Actually.
were already on the third day after our arrival we have a round trip with a - very nice and competent - broker, in part by subway, in part to six, of course, unrestrained, in the car. We were able to visit four apartments that came at all because of the rent for the question. Because for a moderately large, furnished 4-room apartment in the capital of Siberia you pay about as much as for two spacious one-family houses in East Westphalia.
Our many years of experience in Russia was very inhospitable to us, because dark, tight, torn and smelly hallways shock of 5-15 storey apartment houses not so much. Did we, however, that can look behind the door the world differently.
The selection was an extremely smart equipped but very small 80-square meter apartment after a classic Soviet-section (small kitchen with two seats, separate bath and toilet, only for one - not to be obese and four-person accessible to small living and sleeping areas). Contact with the landlords, Russia Germans from Oelde, we had already established in Germany, making it very difficult for us noticed this nice and open family, which had us entertained several times with Siberian treats and had traveled specially for our benefit for four weeks after Novosibirsk, a refusal to grant.
Two other very spacious apartments paid entirely on Soviet charm, with old oak parquet, decorated library rooms, but quite outdated plumbing and kitchen facilities.

So we finally convinced the fourth apartment, the landlord had actually sought a much higher price, but then given a "European" family was still willing to negotiate. Where "family" really is more of an obstacle, because most landlords of "luxury flats" (ie, renovated to European standards) fear painted walls or zerhüpfte sofas. What they may not all be wrong ....
After a few hours to think, in the still Jetlegs, we finally gave the approval for the apartment in the city center, yet quiet area with four rooms, each of which is not separated by a door, and appealing Kitchen and toilet facilities.


So, we thought everything would be regulated and is already planning the move for the coming weekend. But no!
The lender would only enter into further negotiations if their cash immediately, we put the first month's rent and a security deposit other than on the table. Also, do not worry, we thought. Finally, we Klaus had before the trip provided with credit cards, unlimited withdrawals featured world safe. But like the Novosibirsk banks had still heard nothing. We were given only small amounts of cash paid out, and after we were several hours from ATM to ATM getingelt, activated We summarily help from the small German community site. Stevie Fendler, already mentioned pastor, even just entered the country from Germany, came to help us immediately, so that finally we like a good luck on the slot machine, could pull in a good bank rubles to rubles.
But before signing the lease was still the "Act", a pre-defined hand-written by the owner, multilateral system, in which all were listed in the apartment located furniture and all prohibitions and rules. It was strange for us sometimes expresses ideas, for example, should we spend the night by guests, including family members include a kind of Hotel fee not negligible amounts of pay. Forbidden to dispose of toilet paper in the toilet and more power-intensive devices simultaneously on (but sometimes you want to blow dry it, even if the machine is running) is. In addition, all were Einrichtungsgestände with "new" or "immaculate" declared, although characterized actually several years old and wear. So we set an example for German thoroughness and walked for several hours (!) With the digital camera through the house to document every inch of wall paper or laminate, scratches on the fridge or crack in the ceiling. Complete preparations formed a joint visit with Ikea the landlady, her daughter and our children, and we have the opportunity to us to happiness Ikea familiar principle of an inexperienced Russian woman to explain. After that we had in fact for all children in a bed and cupboards and a second run without landlord we could purchase additional household items such as bed linen and tableware at their own expense.

mixed Thus, in our apartment now Russian Schick (white leather sofa) with a familiar Scandinavian Design (pine bunk bed as a gymnastics facility for Julius).

the time of our collection was all over the warm Novosibirsk Water for two weeks off, but soon we could learn, which meant the promise of the landlord that it was a "warm" apartment: all year, so even in high summer temperatures of over 30 degrees, run in the two baths, the floor heating and the towel warmer at full speed, so that there sauna temperatures can be achieved. Showers bathroom door was open only halfway bearable ...


Even now, after the onset of the centrally controlled heating season in early October, we get the special warmth of this home felt. Although very well-insulated brick and vinyl windows, run the radiators Day and night with no brakes. A thermostat is not it just a little confidence-inspiring red screw that you could run from radiator to radiator. But here we are prohibited by the landlord of any regulation in the first few weeks, as in the whole of Siberia Heizniveau must be leveled. With an air temperature at 15 degrees, only the temperature control is through large windows. Well, the Siberian gas for us is so free!
The apartment is on the 5th Stock - unfortunately without a lift! This brings us daily exercise and beautiful views of the - not always beautiful - surrounding apartment blocks, often with fantastic sunrise and sunsets.


However, we feel really at home in the apartment and even welcomed the first guests!

Zoophilia Free Vidieos



An important starting point for our next school, kindergarten and ZfA office in the first few weeks become especially the evangelical community in Novosibirsk. The German pastor couple with three children, has been for nine years in Siberia-employed, we have already had at our first visit in March met - in fact apart from us the only German family here with somewhat older children! After a Year language course and quite a long time in Abakan (Khakassia Republic) they have served for one and a half years now, the evangelical community in Novosibirsk, which is also not easy. The community consists mainly of older people who have commented for decades as a parish without a pastor brothers had, of course, lived in the diaspora and so well defined strong. Traditions that have been revised in Germany long been respected here and all new, the pastors tried to bring the caution, it is very critical. Every Sunday to take the remaining 30 church members to worship in a small German-blue wooden house on the outskirts of Novosibirsk, which belonged formerly a community elder who bequeathed it to the community for use as a church building. Now that the community because of the still more advanced age of most members threatened with extinction simply gradually and not because the younger generation of Protestants, the German is usually dominated have the pastors for some time to have certain resistances of the core community endeavor, a service also be offered in Russian. And this service we have now visited several times and make some good contacts here and find something like a "spiritual home" can.


You have to imagine it this way: The church attendance is at least a half-day program. Around noon, we walk to the subway and get off at the last stop on the opposite left-hand bank of the Ob, in a district that falls significantly more attractive compared to a more or less send center. Then we continue by bus or taxi (true match, no?) To "stop the tank driver" in the suburbs. There are on the right side of the road still plenty of prefabricated buildings, left side, however, already covers a so-called "private sector", by which is, however, present a collection of crumbling wooden houses must countless free and unchecked roaming dogs, an unpaved, extremely rough clay road, various huts and shacks.
foot it goes on through the village until you come to a house that stands out clearly because of his care condition with fresh blue paint and neat vegetable garden from the environment. This is the evangelical church as a simple sign on the fence the visitor who has lost his way here, not hard information in Russian and German.
When we arrive, it's so soon after two, and there is still time, with the handful of people who gather to worship, to drink tea and eat some cookies. Your table is always plentiful and you're forced to eat almost. In the majority very friendly old ladies, a couple of young ladies and gentlemen, all predominantly Russian-speaking, but somehow with German roots, occasionally a few stray German, as we are - that are then so the congregation. No more than 15, mostly less so. Before the start of the service we all need briefly to the "thunder box" in the yard (which, however, are more inviting than many other toiletries otherwise), then the portable keyboard, which here replaces the organ, connected to the electricity that you sing a few - I think, very beautiful - songs, drifting past during which the participants may have. In the living room, which was converted into a church hall, only the first number is busy, for all sessions with liturgy and songs designed for not only we are not familiar with the texts and the process in the Russian evangelical church service. It is generally a very friendly, very open atmosphere, sometimes takes the Sermon on features of a conversation. You feel very well, the whole atmosphere is very personal.


As a farewell, it is not uncommon to get all of the vegetable garden a few flowers pressed into the hand, and it is very much encouraged, but must come back next Sunday. And because we know that it is at this event, they are kept alive to every individual is, you can call this hardly escape!

Day of Knowledge

On Monday, the 1st September has begun in Russia, the new school year with a huge party for the "Day of Knowledge". Everywhere freshly spruced boys and girls were in school uniform (usually black coat, vest and white blouse along with white giant hair bow for girls and black suit with white shirt and tie for boys) with huge, if not always tasteful bouquets for the teacher through the streets. What do you do well with 30 bouquets of flowers?

Cara had to wait a long time, however, since in the "second layer" learns. The school suffers from a lack of space, so the class 4A divides the classroom with a first class. The first class has morning classes, but Cara 13 bis 18 clock. Hence there was the "Linejka," the ruler-like list of all classes with the teacher in the school yard before early afternoon.
Full of expectations and Cara has joined in their line and under a blue sky at about 30 degrees waited patiently for the start of the ceremony. After the Russian national anthem numerous speeches of various teachers and individual students, followed always alternating with musical contributions of talented students - just won important competitions for the school - was stressed as always had. The closure was the singing the school song, a moving ode to the "best" school in the city - with no irony! Then there was the "first ring" instead of the new school year: A student of the highest class (Year 11) took a first grade girl by the hand and together they walked around the school yard, where they rang a symbolic school bell.
disappeared after the children and their teachers in classes for the "lesson of peace to hold. They came back with a plan for the (three!) lessons on the following day - a real timetable, there will probably not before October.

Even at the "Linejka" and later Cara in the class brought their newly acquired Russian-chunk bravely used. Finally she was able to their peers with whom they sometimes the last few months in Germany already had exchanged e-mails, meet in person.
home was the school uniform, Cara with great pride and much seriousness, carefully hung on the bracket and for the next school day a fresh white tights ready set ...

Play Age Of Empires For Free With No Disk

Arrived!

almost a month after our departure, we finally have an internet connection in our apartment - and regained access to the western world!

full of excitement we have retrieved our e-mails and found joy, that for many of our friends the motto "Out of sight, out of mind" (still) does not apply. Thank you for this! The first Skype-tests were also successful - we are to reach again.

The last v ier weeks were filled with intense, mostly positive experiences and impressions: nice, although with a sleepless flight in midsummer Siberia, first said, practical exercises of the children in the courtyard of our temporary accommodation, house hunting with jet lag, five-hour lease negotiations photo documentation , swimming trip to the Ob Sea, Italian style, constantly feet black children, cash machines at the Odyssey through the city Attempt to apply the first month's rent, native feelings on numerous, extensive Ikea visits, doubling the number of participants at the evangelical church by our presence, measuring and fitting of the school uniform (Cara), helpless screening test of the overwhelming amount of material in the German-trade area of the 1 Gymnasium (Klaus), successful application in the Kindergarten "Sönnchen" (Julius) and culinary experimentation of the local food supply (Sabine).

moment we all live in eager anticipation of the 1 September - the deadline for the start of school in Russia, who will steer our lives into something hopefully more regular orbits. The suit for Klaus is ready, Caras updo with white giant loop must be practiced yet, Julius' pajamas for the mandatory two-hour nap in the nursery is packed and filled with hope Sabine's diary for a few family-free minutes.

Blueprints For A Kitchen Island

Just before the start!


Where four days? Mmm .... To me they come in any case before long. Soon it is so far! We've done everything: boxes packed, sorted and cleaned up school supplies (of which, however, does not feel much is). Of course, we have also been adopted by all and hit us again with everyone. But now, I mean, it must finally start because of constantly waiting and waiting is really boring. Today I meet again my best friend, but then we have already packed suitcase! (Cara)

Cara learns Russian


Cara learn Russian!

Although summer vacation actually sweats Cara day under the apple tree for two hours of Russian books. Reading and writing is quite good, but it still confuses the south and north, and keeps the wife of a knife.
Six cases she has learned in the singular, but then there is the genitive plural, where you can distinguish between hard and soft, feminine and masculine and consonants must be careful to volatile. When Julia gets
Cara once a week cut in native pronunciation, for example, by memorizing poems, tongue twisters.
comes soon the practice test!

Virtual, new and override - the differences

When asked what is the difference between new and override, used in a particular case for a property, you can get is the correct answer. New hidden the property in the base class, override, overrides this. Fine, but what does that mean exactly? Now the sensible answers but rather rare.

following example illustrates the workings. Parent is the base class that provides two properties Foo and Bar. Child is a class derived from the parent and the two new properties once with and once with override overrides. In the two instances of class MyClass Child are generated in the first case the declaration is based on the class Parent. The two properties of the two instances are retrieved and printed. Public class MyClass



{public static void Main () {

Parent p = new Child ();
Child c = new Child ();
Console.WriteLine (p.Foo);
Console.WriteLine (p . Bar);
Console.WriteLine (c.Foo);
Console.WriteLine (c.Bar);
Console.ReadLine ();}


} public class Parent {

public string Foo {get {return "ParentFoo";}}
public virtual string Bar {get {return "ParentBar";}}}

public class Child: Parent {

public new string Foo {get {return "ChildFoo";}}
public override string Bar {get {return "ChildBar";}}
}

The insightful Result looks like this:
ParentFoo
ChildBar
ChildFoo
ChildBar

Since two Instances of child produced the expression ParentFoo astonishing for one or the other. Why is that? The answer is in the early-and late binding.

In the case of Foo, the Property on the parent class not declared with virtual. Thus, the early binding is used. This means that the compiler determines at compile time that property is called. Since case declared the variable as a parent is, is in any case (no matter what is effectively an instance is available) the property of the Foo class called Parent and in the second case, the property of the Child class.

In the case of Bar was the property on the base class with virtual, and thus prevents the early binding. That is, which is parsed at run-time instance and the corresponding property of the effective existing class is called (in our case, Child).

And finally a look at the IL code:

.method public hidebysig static void Main() cil managed
{
.entrypoint
.maxstack 1
.locals init (
[0] class Parent parent,
[1] class Child child)
L_0000: newobj instance void Child::.ctor()
L_0005: stloc.0
L_0006: newobj instance void Child::.ctor()
L_000b: stloc.1
L_000c: ldloc.0
L_000d: callvirt instance string Parent::get_Foo()
L_0012: call void [mscorlib]System.Console::WriteLine(string)
L_0017: ldloc.0
L_0018: callvirt instance string Parent::get_Bar()
L_001d: call void [mscorlib]System.Console::WriteLine(string)
L_0022: ldloc.1
L_0023: callvirt instance string Child:: get_Foo ()
L_0028: call void [mscorlib] System.Console:: WriteLine (string)
L_002d: ldloc.1
L_002e: call instance string virt Parent:: get_Bar ()
L_0033: call void [mscorlib ] System.Console:: WriteLine (string)
L_0038: call string [mscorlib] System.Console:: ReadLine ()
L_003d: pop
L_003e: ret}


Would not expect that when a call early binding and not a call is called virt? Actually, yes. This will callvirt generated so that the class can be tested for zero. The JIT compiler will not implement effectively zero after testing this call in a non-virtual call.

How Do U Make A Moonstone Ring

Greetings from the heart magician!

02/24/2008

My old friend greet heart mage can. For a week I have been working again at the former flash project. During this time I once took care of the worst bugs me in the fall of the Script were crawled (which would probably spend the winter there, I hope they have not laid eggs ...).

It was very hard, again read in all the functions and variables, but luckily I wrote many comments in the script text.


Now I'm here to integrate, in the battle zone water two more monsters.

Cancer Sympathyquotes

Several tables to an entity map

are usually stored normalized data in a database. In the application you want but often work with the non-normalized data. Is the ADO.NET Entity Framework is the solution?

Yes and no is the answer. And to put it forward to take away, a mapping is possible from multiple tables to one entity, but only if they have a 1:1 relationship. That is, in most cases you will be better off if created in the database an appropriate view, this is mapped to the entity and the Update, Insert and Delete stored procedures to be solved.

But the solution. First, a model is created with the wizard, which contains all the tables.

The adjustments to the Conceptual Model (CSDL) are simple. On the desired attributes of the entity from the other tables are added. For example, here the entity Cars to the attribute value has been enhanced.

\u0026lt;xml: namespace prefix = edmx /> \u0026lt;edmx:conceptualmodels>
\u0026lt;schema xmlns = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2006/04/edm" alias = " Self "namespace =" Model ">
\u0026lt;entitycontainer name="Entities">
\u0026lt;entityset name="Cars" entitytype="Model2.Cars">
\u0026lt;/ entitycontainer>
\u0026lt;EntityType name="Cars"&#062
&#060key&#062
&#060propertyref name="ID_Cars"&#062
&#060/key&#062
&#060property name="ID_Cars" nullable="false" type="Guid"&#062&#060/property&#062
&#060property name="Brand" type="String" maxlength="50"&#062&#060/property&#062
&#060property name="Model" type="String" maxlength="50"&#062&#060/property&#062
&#060property name="Value" type="String" maxlength="50"&#062&#060/property&#062
\u0026lt;/ EntityType>
\u0026lt;/ schema>
\u0026lt;/ edmx: conceptualmodels>

adjustments to the storage model (SSDL) are not necessary because of the database, which is represented by this model will not change.

by adjusting the mapping of the newly defined attributes on the entity now in the existing storage model mapped. This is achieved by adding an additional fragment mapping.

\u0026lt;edmx:mappings>
\u0026lt;Mapping xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:windows:storage:mapping:CS" space="CS">
&#060entitycontainermapping cdmentitycontainer="Entities" storageentitycontainer="dbo"&#062

&#060entitytypemapping typename="IsTypeOf(Model.Cars)"&#062
&#060mappingfragment storeentityset="Cars"&#062
&#060scalarproperty name="ID_Cars" columnname="ID_Cars"&#062
&#060scalarproperty name="Brand" columnname="Brand"&#062
&#060scalarproperty name="Model" columnname="Model"&#062

\u0026lt;scalarproperty name="ID_Cars" columnname="ID_Extensions">
\u0026lt;scalarproperty name="value" columnname="Value">
\u0026lt;/ MappingFragment>

\u0026lt;/ EntityTypeMapping & # 062
\u0026lt;/ EntitySetMapping>
\u0026lt;/ EntityContainerMapping>
\u0026lt;/ mapping>
\u0026lt;/ edmx: mappings> Do not

code as needed and EntitySets AssociationSet are CSDL and the To delete mapping.
