TheServerSide.NET - TSS Featured Entry: "Dependency Injection and Dynamic Service Locators in .NET - Daniel Cazzulino analyzes Fowler's article, 'Inversion of Control Containers and the Dependency Injection pattern', that implies that lightweight containers are a new concept fuelled by the Java community unsatisfied with heavyweight EJB containers.

Transactional (DTC) Receive on MSMQ brings legacy system on its knees.: "Once up on a time when the world was all about NT we were able to both send and receive messages from a local message queue as well as a remote message queue. As the cream on top the cake it was even possible to enlist this work in a transaction coordinated the DTC('s). This article gives you a more detailed view on what was possible with MSMQ & MTS at that time. As of today a mission critical application started to fail and since we recently updated our application server to Win2k we're assuming we overlooked some compatibility issues. A colleague did some digging in the Microsoft documentation and found the following disturbing information."

Poking around yielded the following update to the batch (set names are now really nice :-)."

Kerry is not my idea of a great leader for the US, but you got it right, a lot of people will vote for him if Bush is the Republican nominee, solely because we are so scared what the US and world will look like given four more years of Bush. I am one of them. Kerry may turn out to be a disaster for this country, but we already know Bush is. If ever it was time for the lesser of two evils, this is it."

Fish and Fishing in the Toronto Area"Toronto Island Park:
* Bass. You will find bass in the weed beds, as well as various panfish. There are lots of big carp in all the canals.
* Carp. Pretty well all the canals and ponds on the islands hold carp. The canals at Hanlan's Point are probably your best bet. Take the ferry over to Hanlan's, walk a hundred yards or so and start fishing.
* Pike. Take the Centre Island ferry over. Walk south past the entrance to the amusement park and restaurant, past the swan rides until you reach a white bridge. Cross the bridge and walk west along the water's edge. You can begin fishing from there. Most of the canals west of the bridge will have pike cruising around. Keep in mind when you're fishing early in the year that these fish are either prespawn, spawning or post spawn fish, so although the regs permit you to keep some fish, it would be wise to release them, especially if they look "fat" with eggs. Slower moving baits seem to work best early in the year. #4 and 5 Mepps Aglia spinners are popular, but also try either a slowly worked white plastic worm rigged with a long shank 1/8 or 1/4 oz. jighead, hook exposed, or a Bo-Liz pork bait rigged with a weedless lightning strike hook, no weight (yellow or white). The spinners are good for covering areas fast until you hit a fish, then switch to the slower moving baits to really cover the area well. Also try Red Devils, spinnerbaits, Bluefox Vibrax in #4 or #5 or Sluggo type baits.
* Pike. Try the lagoons around Wards Island with slow moving lures such as 7 1/2" black plastic worms with a 1/16 ounce slip sinker or even better, big gaudy pike streamers or divers on a fly rod for a really slow retrieve. The fish won't chase very often early in the spring. Try to get over there before the fish spawn and again after they are done for the best fishing.
* Pike. You'll find good pike fishing usually during the first two weeks in April ( immediately after iceout). Take the ferry to Centre Island and walk west towards the nature school and trout pond. Fish the canals and bays with #4 and 5 Mepps spinners or slow moving "Bo Liz" pork rinds rigged with a 4\0 weedless hooks. Cast as you slowly walk the area. Warm sunny days with a slight breeze are best because this warms the water and stimulates the pike to move and look for spawning areas. Fish size usually ranges between 3 and 12 lbs.
* Pike. Try live minnows (3-6 inches) under a float. You may want to add a steel leader. Best bets are usualy shallow back bays with visable signs of weed growth. Present your bait as close to the weeds as possible."

Now with another years worth of experience under your belt, you should take the time to watch them again. I�ve found lots of little tid bits that I missed the last time.
