what's the difference btw commercial and keeping it real
Posted 26 April 2010 - 02:44 PM
success in the music industry depend on a lot of factors not only how tight your lyrics are or how cheap it is, there's more to it that's why professionals get involved. money, media and perseverance of course good music. and then what's goopd music? how do u define REAL hiphop and COMMERcial hiphop? is there any tested formula for a successful music or track like Rugged man claimed? bring your takes on this and researched info is welcome
Posted 26 April 2010 - 10:49 PM
i was going thru the lists of rappers/emcees/afro whatever rtists and what they brought to the table
Rugged man-he ended the era of tongue twisting rap with no content and bla bla bla
mode 9- he brought realness in the rap industry and helped put nigeria in the map of countries with real emcees.
tribes meyn- them dudes actually started the group thing and if i'll say, rap.
stereo man- he developed his own style and used his music to talk about his region and everybody listened.
Tuface-dude started an infusion of raggae and RnB with pidgin english and a style that is inarguably the mother of Nigerian modern day afro hiphop
Nigga raw- he started rap in igbo language, he took the risk and look at where he is right now. alotta people are following suit. i'll say dude created a unique style of rap that's classified by me as Enugu hiphop lol.
the list goes. if u know any, u can post up. my point here is, are u just rapping cos u learned how to do that or cos u think ugot something to bring to the table? what isyour goal and objective? if u're called up for an interview, what will u actually talk about, yourself and that's it? Do u think what u bring is worth listening to and worth investing on? i need opinions here
Posted 28 April 2010 - 08:33 AM
the arguement should be wether the Song is GOOD or BAD and not Mainstream,Underground,whatever
examples of Nigerian Cross-over Rap songs i like
1 Ob Jazz - Lyrically Alert Kilonshele
2 OD - Alujo
3 Modenine feat OD and YQ - Loke
4 Terry Tha Rapman and pherowshuz - Sample
5 Da Grin - pon pon pon
6 Six Foot Plus - Millenium bugging
7 MI - Blaze
8 Vector - Mary Jane
9 Osagz - U say
10 Gino - Farabale
None of this songs i mentioned here are sellouts to me,nd they are all Radio friendly,mainstream and HOT...if you are an emcee,and you wanna make some Money from rap,you might wanna do something like this in your album
back to the issue of what we want from Hip-Hop...i dont care whatever,but when they mention the greatest, my name should pop up....and dats me....
to end this,i Performed at a russian Hip-Hop show in London,and after the show,i was interviewed and my music was felt by almost everyone...i was asked similar questions on the state of nigerian hip-hop and all my answers are in the video for you all to see..its kind of Long, 8 mins ,but its worth the view....
Apop no vex...i had to vent a little bit

my music is influenced by alotta thing-radio and market taste excluded. i make my own beats and i don't think any of the two things i mentioned influences the out come of what i produce. i listen to all typah music and try to pick something out of all genre. 80 of mainstream producers in united states and Nigeria are all washed up and don't have anything to offer anymore, and it's reflecting on the sales of hiphop music compared to other genre. there's no denying the fact that Nigerians have a formula for a "commercial music"(which could as well mean selling out). if u listen to OD's new single-rocking with da best, u'll understand what am saying.
anyways, i have a song called rocking with the best and i think OD would've changed his title if he had heard mine. www.myspace.com/cdrill rocking with the best. enjoy and comment

"..should kick my own rhymes in the privacy of my own home.." CANIBUS
keeping it real is staying through to your ideals, your roots or watever u came into music for, it doesnt mean staying hardcore! or going commercial as long as ur music is not trash.
i like canibus, mostly because of the intelligent lyrics, i have all canibus albums, some hardcopy, i'll listen to most incredible rappers with repulsive beats, thats me, but people like me are like 2.5% of the population listening to rap, u wont make money off us i can tell u now. we all agree CANIBUS is a good example, dope ass lyrics mostly with trashy beats, dude, who u wan sell those things to? everybody is not like me, this is not 1995, we are in the digital age, post 2003 Itunes and the internet changed everything, if u aint gat a good formula, homeboi u wont matter, no matter how dope and hardcore u sound on the MIC!!
better still, wat do u actually mean by selling out? if someone makes dance-able music, is that selling out? isnt music about having fun and all? is there anything wrong with a dance track. point is RAP can be REAL and COMMERCIAL, yes, if u intend to make money off this, u better make it enjoyable, it doesnt mean ur selling out, selling out is fraying from your roots or not being who you are, it has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with trying to EAT!!
REAL and COmmercial tracks i can remember off the top
TALIB KWELI- LIsten, Deliver us (both off Eardrum 2007), GET By (off Quality)
Kanye WEST - Diamonds from Sierra Leone
Eminem - I dont even know where to start well, Crack a Bottle -Relapse
LIl wayne - A mili - As much as i DONT LIKE lil wayne, i'm big enough to admit that track was it.
lloyd banks .. On fire (hunger for more 2004)
50 cent - In da club
Modenine - Talking to u (paradigm shift)
T.I...Dead and Gone...and many more
Jay-Z- Hard KNock life and so many many more
yo, the list is endless. so many people listen to music for different reasons, but if u want to make money off this art, its simple, ur music has to be enjoyable and not boring, cos u have to appeal to people who just dont listen to lyrics alone, but beats and people who just want to have fun.
i like Hardcore rap, but i like music before rap, thats y i listen to almost every genre u can think off from spanish merengue to korean pop, i listen to Kool Savas from Germany, i dont even understand what the FCUK he's saying but i'll pay money for his album. i am not ur average music listener, but this is how music is, its not just about what u say but how u sound overall.
if u want to make only "hardcore" rap, go ahead, but dont forget that no DJ has ever played RENEGADE (jay and em) in the club.. just saying. :D
@meyer, cant wait to hear ur track....
Posted 29 April 2010 - 05:00 PM
in my own opinion, keeping it real is doing it the way it's to be done. rap has elements that includes multi,metaphor,wordplay,simile,complexity,in rhyming,imagery,intelligent infos as in canibus(i like his poetic expression) , the list goes.Rap/hiphop is an art form of its own and it has rules too. i am a producer, i've seen bunch of cats come to ma studio with their shitty rap with no rhyming schemes, no bars, no taste and they want me to give them the best beat in the world cos they can afford my price. i don't get enough motivation working with people like that cos i found out it's not all about money, money can't provide me enough motivation i need to do this. My 80 percent motivation is intrinsic cos i have pride in showcasing my knowledge and educating with rap through my work.
Rap motivated me to read books that i use to ignore. listening to intelligent rap helped me a lot in knowing things i wouldn't have known listen to garbages. something inspired me into loving hip hop and that is what i still follow. i can't be comfortable seeing my son listen to rap these days cos of its negative effect on the listener. todays' rap promote violence,drug, demean women, and portray black people as stone cold mean muthafuckers. Rap these days promote materialism to the extreme cos that's what Satan wants to achieve. meyn are lovers of themselves rather than lovers of God. and that's what i call selling out. people like jay z would do a song promoting satanism because the people that pay them are agents of the devil, and you're a dumb-sell out when u follow them to do the same without knowing why. am not saying as an artists, u're not suppose to express yourself and things u see around u, but u can be a role model and change things to the positive with your words. i love rap the way i love poetry and books but these day, rap has relegated itself to a mediocrity level and that's because alotta artists preferred to sell out (their soul and inspiration) for money and material things that flickers.
@xblaze. i make club beats and party songs too and i can't compromise my talent and inspiration because of popular demand. n canibus has better music than alotta nuisance of today
i do it for the love and i will keep doing it well.

Don't forget i'm the no 1 canibus fan lol, dude is sick no doubt, infact, in his prime i still believe no rapper would come close if a battle is set up. none, zero zip, not even em, or chino XL. canibus delivery is octane. but lets not deviate from the discussion, if u want to eat, u better improvise, we're talking about commercialising the art as well as keeping it real abi? well The BEAST From The EAST aka Canibus forgot to do that, and um where is he now? still making hardcore shit for people like me.
Besides, it doesnt have to be a dance song that will sell you, the beat speaks to all of us, make that beat appealing, imagine canibus on a dre , scott storch or just blaze beat, we all know wat he can do with that delivery. Everything no be hardcore, can i bus tell us about ur childhood, tell us about that girlfriend wey shun you for high school, tell us about your mum's struggle to raise you, c'mon are u serious? u've proven ur point, nobody can kill u on the mic, its time to make something else.
it doesn t always have to be "My lyrics invade Europe and murder niggaz like joseph stalin" Buckingham Palace
Canibus is my kind of shit, but he could have made money and blown the world to smithereens if he switched up the business part of his craft.
How about Lupe Fiasco? sick, yet commercial.
dont you see how Jadakiss sounds on swizz beatz songs?
Posted 29 April 2010 - 07:23 PM
you are on point. The road that leads to hell is broad, and the way to heaven is narrow. i think if u look a at it in the context of rap, you'll see what's happening today. people like the broad way cos it's cheap and easy but it leads to destruction, but only few MEN follow the narrow way which leads to life, infinite wisdom and eternally blissful. LOL!!!! am not preaching but get my drift.
Posted 29 April 2010 - 07:34 PM
if u grow the balls to talk like this man, then u are a true emcee. Don't sample felas beat or his words if u can't do what he did. true talk. i like lil wyne(now i lied), i hate em and his likes. what did he teach his listeners? drank sipping and tattooing everything on ya body plus ya dick lol. Ma friend got into lil wyne and started sippiing drank, and in portharcourt, it's the new cool-lynning
First and foremost, please understand that you, the customer, control HIP HOP. Not the artists, not the radio, and certainly not the old white guys at the heads of these labels. These people have a lot of power but if they don't produce the numbers that is expected of them, they will eventually become POWERLESS. You and I are those numbers.
Together we can make changes.
It all started last week when that Lauren Hill video from TMZ was posted on the net. Then Illseed posted a short interview of her and at the bottom he wrote "She is so Smart". A couple of days later, i was cleaning up and I decided to put in a CD instead of just turning on my itunes. I had to use my blu-ray player cause my CD player wasn't even hooked up. LOL. It's been that long. Anyways, i put in the "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill"
Wow, what have WE done to HIP HOP???
That album is a masterpiece. That is Music. PLEASE, I BEG ALL OF YOU THAT READ THIS LETTER TO LISTEN TO THAT ALBUM AGAIN, AND IF YOU NEVER HEARD IT PLEASE LISTEN TO IT FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY. Its very important to listen to the entire album from the beginning to the end and in the the proper sequence. Listen to that album and only buy albums that MATCH THE GREATNESS OF IT and we can change HIP HOP back to what it was.
Artist don't make albums anymore, and i know why. It's because in today's industry artists are forced into thinking only about the GIMMICKS: the ring tones, the merchandising, etc...(a. Gimmick: A device employed to cheat, deceive, or trick, especially a mechanism for the secret and dishonest control), But all these gimmicks wouldn't be so relevant right now if artists made good music. Gimmicks were invented because your album sucks and your single sounds more like a jingle then a song. Your label and management have to think up of crazy ways to make themselves money because they know a jingle when they hear one. Note to artist: I said make themselves some money.THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU, or us
Let me get back to us, the people, the customer. People please stop calling your radio stations, e-mail video stations and requesting this wack music. These artist can make better music, believe me. We can make them change.
HIP HOP needs all of its categories: Underground, Main Stream, Pop HIP HOP, Ganster Rap, Rap, Back Packer, Hip Hop Soul, etc......, but it doesn't need all the junk in between.
Lastly, i know a bunch of you are going to say that there is a lot of good HIP HOP out right now but i'm talking about HIP HOP that can be played on the radio and win a Grammy for Album of The Year. Anytime a good artist tries to go commercial, all they make is JUNK.
PS. If any body thinks "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" is not a HIP HOP album then you need to do more then just read this letter, you need to re-learn what HIP HOP really is.

No it isn't just Madonna. I saw Jane Mansfield from the 60's, KISS boots and Joan of Arc on her hands and knees praying for forgiveness. She is fun a yeah a lotta Madonna in the mix but can wear things that Madonna is too old to get away wth.

1) Most of us knew that Norton Trusted files are placed in white list and while run it - it will be not scanned by Norton - they can run easily and fast.
In summer 2010 I accidentally meet with Norton Trusted files but after upload to Virus Total (VT) Service was next results:
Each of 7 files is Norton Trusted (NIS 18.1)
In the past I saw 4-6 false positives (FP) from 25-30 VT antiviruses, but I saw that it was really FP - files was from well know Software and Antivirus vendors. Some of Norton Trusted files (in collection was about 70-80 files) was reported by VT as malware but with 0-20 antiviruses, but they was not so strong (in my eyes) and I say that may be they are wrong... but antiviruses with nowadays few false alarms reported me about 7 files that they are malware (based on Avira, Microsoft, ESET and Kaspersky detections).
To review them:
Submission has been sent Fri Dec 17 01:24:40 PST 2010
Tracking #18553851
2) 2-bytesNorton Trusted file with content of two symbols:
is Norton Trusted too.
What is the payload of this included in while list item? How much users (more than 100,000 ?) and how often use this file? What for is this file - can it have the payload if it exits on some/many/every machines?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Does anybody of Norton/Symantec team can read this message?
WELL Hopefully SONAR will be able to detect these file.
Have you submitted them to syamntec

Does not seem to be too dangerous but If you had submitted it to symantec what did they reply

>WELL Hopefully SONAR will be able to detect these file.
SONAR will not proceed (or watching) this files as they placed in the white list of Norton trusted files as company itself.
>Have you submitted them to syamntec
Yes, as I wrote earlier
>Does not seem to be too dangerous
Some other great AV product vendors thinks with few false positives think not. Topic is started for finding an answer - wrong Norton Trusted entries or false positives from other famous and effective vendors too?
>but If you had submitted it to symantec what did they reply
Nothing as mainly many times before (not always) they save silent about this subject too...
Unfortunately in all likelihood since this is user-to-user help forum they more prefer to be silent in posting competent answers and post them only from time to time so many (about 80-85%) of interesting subjects (as I think) do not get any authoritative answers.
Posting like to something like space black hole. No one and nothing can escape from it and no replies from it, only gravity disturbance and light from other space bodies light distortion
Thanks for reviewing this article!
please be patient have you sent a PM to the any of the symantec Employee?
I got an instant reply.when I sent one!
please Wait for Gurus to come.
They can ask symantec employees to look into a prob. I think
Hi Niko223,
Sorry I didn't reply any sooner.
Most of our employees are out of office and are enjoying their holidays. As a result, your message might not have received the appropriate attention. In the meantime, can you share the files with me so that I will be able to send these over to the team as soon as they're back.
Thank you for your understanding.

>please be patient
here is two weeks, other topics months of waiting. Of cause in earlier topics will never be solved, months of waiting can't be, it is just skipping.
>have you sent a PM to the any of the symantec Employee?
1) I do not know who can answer in the observed field of product
2) Then I send a PM to some of admins with this subject and details, he tell me what this must be posted in forum. Apparently, all subjects must be posted in forum, so and this topic posted.
Send a PM of every post? Looks like paranoia. :) If post must be posted in forum, then may be a little attention to them may be brought without bombarding/spamming with PM. May be I am wrong, please tell me if it is so.
>can you share the files with me
Sorry, Venkat Jammalamadugu, for now I delete all collected files from my HDD who was waiting for answer as they and others was wating too long.
But earlier I submitted them to Symantec as listed in the first topic message (Tracking #18553851)
I just want to view the dinamics of possible changes, but if was no answers (on other topics too) I delete all relevant to subjects files and already put in my mind all this topics like unanswered.
Again, I do not want to just disturb Norton team, in opposite I only want to cooperate Norton team to make products more effective and user-friendly. May be I do something wrong, not in the needed way or direction...
Thanks to all who responded!
Are there any advancements?

Learn to manage your career
April 24, 2013
Dear Musicians,
I'm still puzzled as to why career management courses are still missing in some of today's most prestigious Universities. It would be a shame and huge waste of time, effort and money, to not be able to apply the skills acquired during a music education.
Many musicians make poor decisions when it comes to managing their career. In fact, many of them may not realize that they are in charge of managing themselves. Musicians that may have been guided along by parents, teachers, student advisors or friends, may not realize that they're in charge of their own career once school's over. Coming to this realization is thus imperative to kick-start a successful career.
Perhaps it would help musicians to view their music career as a business. A business that needs representation, a business that needs to be marketed properly, a business that needs to stay up-to-date, a business that needs to maintain professional working relationships with other professionals in the music industry.
This translates into being pro-active with job hunts and interacting in a professional manner with other persons. Being on time for rehearsals and gigs, possessing proper phone manners, handling scheduling in a professional manner, being helpful and fun to be around etc.
This is not supposed to be a how-to article on career management, this article is supposed to merely awaken those that believe that gigs will magically appear out of nowhere regardless of how they interact with their surroundings. To give you an example; we organize a lot of auditions for those interested in cruise ship work. For some reason, a large number of individuals don't have the decency to cancel auditions if they can't make but decide to "no show" instead. Whether you want to believe it or not, this will hurt your career.
So take a moment to reflect on how you manage your career currently and if there is room for improvement.
Good luck.

Brainstorming with MindNode
MindNode's focus and flexibility makes it the perfect brainstorming tool. The clutter-free interface lets you concentrate on generating and connecting your ideas, and an infinitely expanding canvas means that no matter how big or complicated your thoughts get, MindNode can keep up. MindNode can even automatically rearrange especially complicated mind maps to make them easier to read.
Creating a new node in MindNode is as easy as dragging the node well (marked by a plus sign) next to the selected node, and moving or reconnecting a node is even easier—just drag and drop the node itself! You can even create a new mind map on the same canvas by creating a new main node with a single tap or click in your document's blank space. And when you're ready to share your ideas, you can export your mind map in several widely used formats, including FreeMind, and PDF.

How to relieve morning sicknesses in pregnancy?
Morning sicknesses are the common problem which affects pregnant women. This is also prone to nausea and vomiting. This is not necessary every pregnant woman experience morning sickness. Usually it affects more than half of pregnant women. This problem starts in most ladies from the sixth week and ends in the twelfth week of pregnancy. Some may feel the problem of morning sickness from the fourth week while some may experience in the entire period of pregnancy.
Morning sickness symptoms
Women who suffer from this type of sicknesses experience nausea and vomiting in the beginning in the morning and continue to end as the day continues. However, it also strikes at the mid of the day or at any time gradually or almost instantly. In most cases of pregnancies, women and unborn child don't suffer very much with this problem but once it becomes harder for women to tolerate, this is the chance they need to contact their doctor for advice.
Remedies for morning sicknesses
- Consume lighter meals throughout the day rather than three heavy meals.
- Avoid getting too hungry because this may increase the problem of nausea. So have plain, dry or salty food stuffs like crackers, crisps, or dry toasts throughout the day in every hour.
- Take your time to get rest. If naps are needed, take them.
- Eat what you need. Sometimes consuming the food you like may help you feel better.
- Try to avoid fatty and oily food.
Morning sickness is temporary. The symptoms will soon become your joy in your family.
The Benefits of Taking Pyridoxine
Pyridoxine is an essential micronutrient – found in many vitamin supplements – that the body needs in order to perform vital bodily functions. Vitamin B6 aids the body to create protein enzymes (hundreds of them) and neurotransmitters, maintain blood sugar and RBC (red blood cell) metabolism. Pyridoxine can also aid in the effective treatment of a number of diseases. To help you understand how one can benefit from the intake of Vitamin B6 supplements read below:
• Lowers the risk of developing diabetic nerve disease – People with diabetes can benefit from taking vitamin b6 supplements since it can give them protection against an ailment called as diabetic nerve disease. Studies have showed a strong correlation between pyridoxine deficiency and neuropathy.
• Prevent kidney stone formation – Pyridoxine deficiency can increase one's risk of developing kidney stones. Calcium oxalate causes stones to form in the kidneys. And by taking pyridoxine supplement – which can be readily bought from any Canadian drugs online stores or local US pharmacies – calcium oxalate can be decreased thus reducing your chance of forming kidney stones.
• Mood regulation – This is yet another advantage of pyridoxine supplementation. It is said that individuals suffering from depression have low levels of vitamin b6 in their bodies. That said, the intake of pyridoxine will help prevent you from feeling depressed. One of the essential function of Pyridoxine in the human brain is the production of serotonin, which is a neurotransmitter produced in the brain that is responsible for mood regulation.
• Alleviate carpal tunnel symptoms – If you have carpal tunnel syndrome, then taking pyridoxine supplements can do you a lot of good. Carpal tunnel is a condition that causes weakness and pain to the affected hand. It is a disorder affecting the median nerve. Patients taking pyridoxine supplements have reported that it is effective in relieving symptoms associated with the condition.
• Provides immune support – Pyridoxine provides the body with excellent immune support. It helps in the production of anti-bodies which function to ward off bacteria and viruses from invading the body. People who have vitamin b6 deficiency have low white blood cell count hence the antibodies produced in the body are greatly reduced.

Although many Country Music fans might be anxious for Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert to start a family, the couple isn't planning to add any children to their brood anytime soon.
Blake and Miranda are featured on the cover of the current issue of Life & Style, which claims that they're "having a baby." The couple was quick to shoot down those rumors on Wednesday when fans began to Tweet them about the news.
Shelton was first to acknowledge the rumor saying, "Look, I know I've gained some weight but the test was negative!!!" and tweeting, "Hope not.. She's [Lambert] passed out with a bottle of Bacardi in her hands!!!"
Lambert later joined in on the conversation. "Wow! I just read the headline! 'we are having a baby' yay! @blakeshelton we're getting a new puppy?:)," she said, adding, "Don't believe everything you read! I'm having a big 'randarita' right now In honor of the baby we are not yet having! #Sorryfolksparksclosed"

DOBSON —County officials say that the transition to a new engineering firm is complete, but more work must be done before shovels will start getting dirty.
Contacted Thursday, County Manager Chris Knopf said the necessary documents from the county's former firm — Hobbs Upchurch & Associates — have been delivered, but the county's new firm needs to review them and complete some additional work.
"We received the release from Hobbs Upchurch, and the new firm, Adams Heath, is currently working on a new project schedule and new project costs that include the new gravity-based system at the two schools," he said.
"Right now, we're just waiting on them to get back to us so the board (of county commissioners) can review it and decide on the next step," Knopf added.
At issue is when design and permitting can be completed on the $4.5 million combined gravity and force-main system.
Hobbs Upchurch came under fire in the county following a break-up at the firm that resulted in the county's principle engineer and grant writer leaving the company over the past few months.
Following weeks of trying to determine the next move, Knopf said he was prepared to recommend the board choose another engineer to get the project back on track.
The problem, Knopf told the commissioners during their last meeting, is that the former firm had possession of the work completed to date, documents and drawings needed by Adams Heath.
Earlier this month, the county received copies of the work completed by Hobbs Upchurch on the Interstates Sewer Collection System and the force main connection to the city of Mount Airy, but the release that allows another firm to work on the project was not included.
With the receipt of the release, the county is free to begin new engineering work that will include the gravity-fed system requested by Mount Airy, which has pledged $1 million to the project with the stipulation that the gravity system be used near Gentry Middle School and North Surry High School.
"The primary task initially will be to develop a new project scope that will include the proposed new gravity lines and the available funding to date," he said. "(Adams Heath will) also be responsible for designing the new gravity system to be located in the vicinity of Gentry Middle and North Surry schools as well as securing (multiple) permits."
"Once that work is put together, we're planning on scheduling another meeting with Mount Airy to review and update everyone on where we've come since our last meeting," Knopf said.
With the receipt of the release, Knopf said things are falling into place on the much-anticipated project.
"We've basically put together everything at this point that we felt like we needed, with the release being our biggest piece of the puzzle," he said.
But that doesn't mean a little more time isn't needed.
"It's not expected to take too long, but we can't put an exact time frame on it at this point," the county manager said. "I'd like to think that within the next couple of weeks we'll know more."

Well, I would like to share my vision of what dm Server is and how it could be extended.
So, for me, dm Server is an extension of an operating system. I mean, that when you do not have an application server, you simply deploy your classes (pojo) on the disk of your machine and you start differents «*main programs*» to run your applications (this is what you do with dm Server). The problem you've is that you cannot easily manage the classe's versions dependencies. The pro with a monolithic machine with only POJOs is that it is simple to deploy the classes and you do not need a distributed infrastructure; everything is «*local*». It's exactly what we have in the Cobol world where all the Cobol programs are hosted on the same big mainframe. All «*calls*» between applications (between Cobol programs) are «*local calls*» as we do inside a Java application where all the classes are in the same JVM.
Dm Server is THE BIG JVM of the server where it is hosted. It's like is the operating system were THE JVM. And it's a very good idea in a big IS where you've more than 200 applications (with many many components) and where the number of transactions per seconds is really big.
I could have say that is you run dm Server on a big Unix system or even on a big mainframe, dm Server can be a solution to replace an IMS/mainframe/Cobol solution i.e. A big machine, with all classes as POJOs and a big JVM, the dm Server.
But now, we've a problem, how a remote client, the GUI interface for example, can access the services hosted by dm Server ? Well we can use WebServices but why dm Server cannot host EJB ?
And can OSGI reference be injected into an EJB, packaged into an EJBJAR file ? (I think about @OSGiResource in EasyBeans)

WHERE: Hundreds of locations world wide
Join cyclists worldwide in a silent slow-paced ride (max. 12 mph/20 kph) in honor of those who have been injured or killed while cycling on public roadways.WHY DOES THIS ORGANIZATION EXIST?
- To HONOR those who have been injured or killed
- To RAISE AWARENESS that we are here
- To ask that we all SHARE
On May 15, 2013 at 7:00 PM, the Ride of Silence will begin in North America and roll across the globe. Cyclists will take to the roads in a silent procession to honor cyclists who have been killed or injured while cycling on public roadways. Although cyclists have a legal right to share the road with motorists, the motoring public often isn't aware of these rights, and sometimes not aware of the cyclists themselves.
In 2003, Chris Phelan organized the first Ride of Silence in Dallas after endurance cyclist Larry Schwartz was hit by the mirror of a passing bus and was killed. (Read the full history here...)
The Ride of Silence is a free ride that asks its cyclists to ride no faster than 12 mph, wear helmets, follow the rules of the road and remain silent during the ride. There are no sponsors and no registration fees. The ride, which is held during National Bike Month, aims to raise the awareness of motorists, police and city officials that cyclists have a legal right to the public roadways. The ride is also a chance to show respect for and honor the lives of those who have been killed or injured.
Please check the resources on this site. If there is a Ride of Silence in your area, we encourage you to join them. If there is not a ride planned in your area, please consider adding your city to the ever-growing list of sites. To get information on how to organize and host a Ride of Silence, please click here; you might also want to look at our FAQ.
The necessary expenses the Ride of Silence has to incur are met by concerned volunteers and donations.

Our Champion Organizers in 2013, Lacey Nickell & Sara McLarty, |
morning November 21, 2010 I received the phone call that changed my
life. Diane, my stepmom, had called and told me that my dad was
in an accident and I need to go to see him in the hospital in
Clermont. Diane said not to worry about driving and that Andrew,
my boyfriend, was on his way to pick me up and I needed to call her as
soon as Andrew was at my house. Andrew pulled into my
driveway and handed me the phone. Diane said "Lacey I need you to
be strong, but your Dad didn't make it." As Andrew and I drove to
Clermont, I was still in shock and disbelief. I went into the ER
and frantically yelled to see my Dad. His body was still covered
in blood, cycling shoes still on, and he had a John Doe bracelet to
identify him. I remember yelling for them to change his
bracelet. Saying he wasn't a John Doe, but he was Harry Nickell." Read on here to learn how Lacey and Ros friend Sara McLarty are joining forces to hold their 2nd annual event in the memory of their fathers who were both struck from behind and killed.

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Gubernatorial candidate Joe Avellone says he has exactly the right skills needed to lead the state into a "new economy."

PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Dr. Donald Berwick grew up in a small rural town where if someone's car was stalled on the side of the road, you didn't drive by.
You stopped to help. It was a general idea that he grew up with, that "we're all together and we help each other." And it is that general idea that has now led him to "strongly considering" a run for governor. His father was doctor, making house house calls miles away helping everyone he could and Berwick followed those footsteps. He went off to Harvard Medical School and then went on to become a pediatrician. Meanwhile, public

A man accused of killing his six children in a house fire has told a court he did not start the blaze but that he has his suspicions about who did.
Mick Philpott, 56, denied any involvement in starting the fire at his home in Victory Road, Allenton, Derby, in the early hours of May 11 last year.
Jade, 10, John, nine, Jack, eight, Jesse, six, and Jayden, five, died during the blaze. Their brother Duwayne, 13, was taken to Derby Royal Hospital and transferred to Birmingham Children's Hospital but died three days later.
Taking the witness box at the start of his defence case at Nottingham Crown Court, Philpott said he had nothing to do with the blaze.
Anthony Orchard QC, defending Philpott, asked him: "Do you know who did?" to which he replied: "No."
"Do you have your suspicions?"
"I do," Philpott answered.
Philpott, who along with his 31-year-old wife Mairead and a third defendant, 46-year-old Paul Mosley, denies six separate counts of manslaughter, told the court he regretted appearing on TV's Jeremy Kyle Show with his family.
He said: "We all decided. At that time we needed a bigger house."
The court heard that the children were bullied following their appearance on the programme, and Philpott said he and his children received death threats following the family's TV appearance.

With AFP Story by Carlos HAMANN: US-history-lifestyle-CivilWar (FILES) This lithograph dated circa 1890, obtained May 16, 2013 courtesy of the US Library of Congress, shows Confederate General Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson (2nd-R) being wounded on May 2, 1863 in the Battle Chancellorsville, Virginia. It's been 150 years since Jackson died, and visitors are still bringing flowers -- and lemons -- to shrines that honor the memory of the Confederate army general. Jackson was one of the most successful and popular generals in the 1861-1865 US civil war, and according to legend he sucked on lemons as he entered battle. "Jackson is a hero to some, but strange enough to appeal to a lot of people," said Beth Parnicza, park historian at the Stonewall Jackson Shrine at Guinea Station, some 70 miles southeast of Washington.

Cardinals sign first-round pick Michael Floyd
Originally published: Jun 11, 2012 - 1:14 pm
Floyd, taken with the 13th pick in last April's draft, tweeted the news Monday afternoon, and the Cardinals confirmed it minutes later.
The 22-year-old Floyd caught 100 passes as a senior and 271 over the course of his four-year career at Notre Dame, and is expected to get plenty of playing time as a rookie.
At 6-foot-3 and 225 pounds, Floyd has good size and enough speed to be a downfield threat in the NFL.
The hope is he'll take some pressure off of Pro Bowler Larry Fitzgerald and give the Cardinals another option in the passing game, which would be big for an offense looking to improve off of a couple lackluster seasons.
The Cardinals also announced the signing of third round pick Jamell Fleming, who inked a four-year deal Monday.

1. | wheelie | ||
a motorcycle stunt done by riding on one wheel while the other is raised in the air. That show off popped a wheelie again.
2. | wheelie | ||
The coolest trick ever. It's easy to do, and the ladies will swoon when they see you doing it. You get in your car, or on your bike and go really fast. Then you go extra fast and lift the front end off the ground and ride like that for a little while... the longer the better. I was going really fast in my Volvo the other day, and I popped a wheelie. Then Rosie O'Donnell asked me for my phone number. Whoo hoo!
3. | wheelie | ||
Urban vernacular for describing a male erection. In other words, the penis rises much like the front end of a motorcycle during a "wheelie".
Also see woody Yo man. Ole girl got some skillz. She waz allup on me and I popped a wheelie strong. My d@#k was harda den brain surgery.
4. | Wheelie | ||
Is to have the up most skill and balance to ride on rear tire. Only cool people can wheelie and all the chicks like it even if they act like they think its not cool they know the panties got all most and they wanted to jump his bones. Look at that stud wheelie cat walking that nice bike.
5. | Wheelie | ||
Someone who is in a wheelchair is know as a Wheelie That girl is a wheelie!

MASSENA They call themselves Kids Helping Kids, and their goal is to make sure needy children dont go without.
Members of the nonprofit club perform in shows and events to help raise awareness and funds for a cause or a child in need.
The children who take part in the club belong to the cheer squad or elite performance team called the One Note Triumphs, which is composed of older members.
Cheer squad, for ages 3 and up, includes Katherine Havican, Curissa L.H. Gambaccini, Kylie R. Gambaccini, Autumn Gambaccini and Cassidy Gunnip.
Members of the One Note Triumphs elite performance team are Sydney Gunnip, Matt Drake, Nicolea L. Rufa, Cheyenne Kirby, Mikeala L. Nugent, Riley Burton, Makayla Stockwell and Tiffany Havican.
The nonprofit organization was founded by Director Crystal Brault, who said she has invested $20,000 in the effort, which doesnt include the cost of photography, computer and printer use, food and gas. She said she takes no pay for her work.
Ms. Brault said the group uses no government funds and raises the money on its own without reliance on outside organizations. Its an opportunity for children to have fun while helping other children, she said.
In 2011, for instance, the club held a talent show for children 12 and younger, with a Disney fashion show and formal sit-down dinner. Adults had a menu that included chicken cordon bleu or grilled shrimp scampi, while children had a menu that included hot dogs, hamburgers, cheeseburgers and French fries.
The children and adults also staged a Wizard of Oz play and musical along with a deep-fried turkey dinner buffet.
They rounded out the year with a Christmas show, with Santa joining them to deliver presents to members of the club and children who attended the event.
Along the way, Kids Helping Kids organized a winter coat drive.
I bought 11 coats from J.C. Penney on Black Friday and saved $384, Ms. Brault said.
The coats were wrapped up in coat boxes and delivered to youngsters who needed them, she said. The club also held a fundraiser for a girl who was born with a heart defect.
This year, the members of the group held a talent show that doubled as a jamboree at the Amvets post to raise awareness and funds for cancer.
On July 28, theyll have a Music Fest Jam 2012 fundraiser at the Ale House in Massena. The day will include bands, a barbecue, raffles, 50/50 drawings and more.
Music will be playing all day, with a music festival running from 1 to 3 p.m., followed by a meal. Then its adult time, Ms. Brault said.
She said proceeds from that fundraiser will be used for musical instruments for children who might not be able to afford them.
The club is looking for instruments that people might not want anymore that can be refurbished and given away to youngsters. We dont want people to throw instruments away, Ms. Brault said.
Those in need of an instrument will have an opportunity to come in and tell board members why they need one. Theyll sign a contract and keep the instrument as long as they continue to play it.
Our goal is to have enough instruments for the beginning of the school year for all ages, Ms. Brault said.
The group also has scheduled a golf tournament Sept. 16 at Twin Brooks Golf Course in Waddington. The day will include a barbecue at the Ale House and awards. The cost is $70 per person or $280 per team.
In the future, Ms. Brault said, the group wants to do the same for sports programs, such as paying for equipment or a registration fee for youngsters who want to participate but cant afford it.
And, she said, Well do fundraisers for other people.
While the group serves children from St. Lawrence and Franklin counties, its ultimate goal is to reach as far as Plattsburgh, Ms. Brault said.
Those interested in obtaining more information can visit http://kidshelpingkidsorgny.com or call the office at 276-5814.
