She's just one of several pop stars bridging the gap between hip-hop and rap.
By Jocelyn Vena

Demi Lovato and Eminem are not two names often tied together. But the pop singer recently shared that she'd like to change that, saying she'd love to hit the studio with the legendary rapper.

"Hopefully, I can work with Eminem," the singer told E! News about her dream collaboration. "He's my favorite rapper, so anything with him would be amazing."

Hip-hop fans might be surprised to hear about Lovato's love for the genre, but Lovatics are more familiar with it. She made headlines last fall with her gut-busting cover of "How to Love" by Lil Wayne. When she spoke to MTV News about the deeply personal track, she fessed up about her love for the rapper and his song.

"I just loved the way that Lil Wayne took a risk doing the song 'How to Love,' and when I really listened to it, it's such a great song," she said. "It has such a deep meaning to it and I wanted to perform that, and I put a little spin on it and tried to make it a little more empowering. And I think it fit with the platform and the message that I have with my fans."

Lovato's one of many artists crossing over between pop and hip-hop. Taylor Swift was at the forefront of the trend in 2011, hitting the stage with the likes of T.I. and Nicki Minaj. And Justin Bieber said he'll likely work with Drake and Kanye West on his 2012 release, Believe. So it seems this trend isn't going away anytime soon.

The nucleus of the intervertebral disc in humans shows the most dramatic changes with age of any cartilaginous tissue. It originates from the notochord. In the foetus and infant, the nucleus contains actively dividing and biosynthetically active notochordal cells. The proteoglycans and other matrix components produced have a high osmotic pressure, imbibe water and maintain a hydrated structure which, though it has little mechanical strength, has a high swelling pressure which maintains disc turgor. In some species, the notochordal cells and the mucoid nucleus pulposus persist throughout adult life. However by about 4 yr of age in humans, the notochordal cells have disappeared to be replaced by those of chondrocytic appearance but of unknown origin. These cells continue to produce proteoglycans but also synthesize significant amounts of collagen. The nucleus becomes firmer and less hydrated and loses its transparent appearance. The cell density of the adult nucleus is very low with cells occupying less than 0.5% of tissue volume; each cell thus has to turn over and maintain a large domain of extracellular matrix. The density of living cells decreases with age, possibly because of problems with nutrient supply to this large avascular tissue. Proteoglycan concentration also falls, and nucleus hydration decreases markedly, the disc discolours and in many cases clefts and fissures form. In most adults, the disc nucleus degenerates eventually to a stage where it can no longer fulfil its mechanical role.
The role of the intervertebral discs is mechanical. They are the joints of the spine, enabling it to bend and twist in all directions. They support compressive loads arising from body weight and muscle tension and anchor one vertebral body to the next. How the discs perform these mechanical tasks however, depends on the organisation and composition of the major macromolecules, which make up this tissue, the collagens and proteoglycans. Disc composition changes significantly during development, growth, ageing and degeneration and this in turn alters how the discs respond to changes in mechanical stress. Since the discs occupy around one third of the length of the vertebral column, changes in the behaviour of the disc can affect other spinal structures such as ligaments and muscles. This review will concentrate on the human nucleus pulposus and discuss its major biochemical components in relation to their functional roles, showing how changes with development and ageing may affect the biomechanical behaviour of the nucleus and thus of the whole disc.
The macromolecules of the disc are made by the disc's cells and changes in composition ultimately arise from changes in cellular metabolism. We will thus also review briefly factors, such as nutrient supply and mechanical load, that are known to affect cellular activity and that may be involved in the etiology of disc degeneration.
The intervertebral discs lie between the vertebral bodies, separated from them by a thin cartilaginous endplate and consisting of two main regions, an inner, soft and highly hydrated structure, the nucleus pulposus, and an outer, firm, collagenous annulus fibrosus consisting of concentric lamellae encircling the nucleus (Fig. 1). These consist of bundles of collagen fibres running obliquely from one vertebral body to the next and firmly anchoring these to the bone or the cartilaginous endplate. The angle of the collagen bundles alternates between successive lamellae thus forming a cross-woven and re-inforced structure (Hukins 1984).
The three major constituents of the disc are water, fibrillar collagens and aggrecan, the large aggregating proteoglycan consisting of a protein core to which up to 100 highly sulphated glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains, principally chondroitin and keratan sulphate, are covalently attached (Muir, 1995). The proportion and organisation of these components vary considerably with position across the disc with the nucleus having a higher concentration of aggrecan and water and a lower collagen content than other regions of the disc. The fibrillar collagens also change across the disc, with the nucleus containing only type II collagen while both types I and type II are found in the annulus (Eyre and Muir, 1977). Changes in composition down the spine have also been described, though these have been less well characterised. The proportions of aggrecan and water in the nucleus fall steeply with age, while the proportion of collagen rises; a similar change is seen in degenerate discs. These changes appear to arise from loss of aggrecan rather than an increase in the amount of collagen produced and laid down (Antoniou et al., 1996b).
The nucleus contains many other components apart from type II collagen and aggrecan. Several minor collagens have been found in specific locations around the cells (type IX, type VI, type III) suggesting a functional role (Roberts et al., 1991b; Nerlich et al., 1997). Small proteoglycans such as decorin, biglycan, lumican and fibromodulin have been found in the nucleus though in lower concentrations than in the annulus (Sztrolovics et al., 1999). Other proteins and glycoproteins such as elastin and fibronectin are also present but have not been well characterised (Melrose and Ghosh, 1988).
The disc also contains enzymes, which can degrade the macromolecular components (Melrose and Ghosh, 1988). Since these proteases cleave molecules such as collagen and aggrecan at specific sites, antibodies against these 'neo-epitopes' have been used as markers of degradation and turnover in the disc (Antoniou et al., 1996a; Sztrolovics et al., 1997). With age and disc degeneration the level of active proteases present in the disc increases, supporting their suggested role in disc matrix turnover and degradation (Crean et al., 1997). More detailed information on disc composition and biochemistry is given in recent reviews (Oegema, 1993; Urban and Roberts, 1996; Johnstone and Bayliss, 1995).
The intervertebral discs develop embryologically from both the mesenchyme (the annulus fibrosus) and the notochord (the nucleus pulposus) (Walmsley, 1953). The mesenchymal tissue surrounding the rod-like notochord begins to segment in the human foetus at around 5–6 wk gestation, with the regularly spaced condensations which express the Pax gene, HuP48, eventually forming the annulus fibrosus of the future intervertebral discs; the non-condensed regions form the future vertebral bodies (Theiler, 1988; Goto and Uhthoff, 1986). Soon after condensation, both regions begin to form a hyaline-like cartilage and, in parallel with the process of chondrification, the notochord enlarges between the vertebral bodies to form the nucleus pulposus of the future intervertebral discs and disappears in the areas where vertebrae are developing (Theiler, 1988; Walmsley, 1953).
The notochordal nucleus pulposus, while rich in typical cartilage and disc matrix components such as sulphated glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and hyaluronan has been shown to produce different proteins from those of other cartilage or disc cells (Gotz et al., 1995). The notochordal cells express type IIA collagen, the differentially spliced form of type II collagen typical of pre-chondrocytes, rather than the alternate type IIB collagen which is expressed by mature chondrocytes; they also express mRNAs such as versican and decorin, more characteristic of fibroblasts (Sandell, 1994). Finally notochordal cells also produce a large chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan which though a product of the aggrecan gene, differs from aggrecan and contains no keratan sulphate, possibly as the result of posttranslational mechanisms (Domowicz et al., 1995).
In some animals the notochordal cells persist in the disc nucleus throughout life (Butler, 1989). In these species (e.g., rodents, cats and non-chondrodystrophoid dogs) the discs remain translucent and semi-liquid with a high proportion of sulphated GAGs and a low collagen content. In other species however, the notochordal cells have virtually disappeared by the time of birth (e.g., horses) or, as in humans, vanish within the first few years of life (Butler, 1989; Walmsley, 1953). It is at present not known whether in these species, the notochordal cells develop into the chondrocyte-like nucleus pulposus cells seen in these species, or whether they die off and are replaced by cells migrating from the inner annulus or endplate (Trout et al., 1982; Walmsley, 1953).
The mature human intervertebral disc has a very low cell density in comparison to other tissues with the cells occupying approximately 0.25–0.5% of the tissue volume. In adult human or bovine discs, the cells of the nucleus and inner annulus are chondrocyte-like, being rounded and enclosed in a capsule (Roberts et al., 1991a); unlike chondrocytes however they contain cytoplasm-filled processes (Errington et al., 1998). In contrast, the cells of the outer annulus are thin and extended along the collagen fibrils, rather like tendon cells (Postacchini et al., 1984). In adults, a large proportion of cells in the nucleus appear necrotic (Trout et al., 1982).
Although the disc has so few cells, their role is vital to the health of the disc since they synthesise and maintain an appropriate macromolecular composition, producing proteoglycans and other molecules throughout life. They also produce proteases and their inhibitors. The disc remains healthy while the rate of macromolecular synthesis and breakdown are in balance. However, if the rate of breakdown increases over synthesis, the disc matrix will ultimately disintegrate and the disc will degenerate.
The activity of disc cells can be regulated by growth factors and cytokines (Thompson et al., 1991; Shinmei et al., 1988) and by physical factors such as mechanical stress as discussed below. Nutrient supply to the avascular disc also affects cellular metabolism significantly (Ohshima and Urban, 1992) and loss of nutrient supply because of structural changes to the cartilage endplate, is thought to be a major cause of disc degeneration (Nachemson et al., 1970b; Urban and Roberts, 1995).
As the notochordal cell population disappears, the nucleus loses its gelatinous appearance and its translucency. The composition of the extracellular matrix of the nucleus becomes more cartilage-like and in the child and young adult it is white and opaque consists mainly of a high concentration of aggrecan embedded in a fine network of collagen II fibrils.
There are large changes in appearance of the adult disc nucleus with increasing age; the nucleus becomes less hydrated and more collagenous. It discolours, changing from white to yellow-brown in colour through the accumulation of products of non-enzymatic glycosylation; these can also form cross-links between polypeptide chains and may alter the tissue's mechanical properties, reducing flexibility (Hormel and Eyre, 1991). An antibody to stabilised and processed forms of these products (CML) has shown they are present even in young (13 yr) discs, but that they accumulate with age (Nerlich et al., 1997). With age the boundary between nucleus and annulus becomes increasingly blurred and the annular rings thicken and appear more disorganised (Coventry et al., 1945). Type X collagen is found in the matrix of elderly and of scoliotic discs and may be associated with abnormal calcification in these areas (Nerlich et al., 1997). Eventually cracks and fissures appear in the endplate, nucleus and annulus and the disc thins and distorts. In the final stages of degeneration or ageing the matrix almost vanishes to be replaced by disorganised scar or granulation tissue (Thompson et al., 1990; Vernon-Roberts, 1992). It is difficult to distinguish ageing from pathological changes and at present there are no clear markers, either morphological or biochemical, distinguishing these two processes.
The dramatic changes in disc composition during life, strongly influence its mechanical role as can be seen from a model of cartilaginous tissues (Broom and Marra, 1985) consisting of a string network filled with balloons. The balloons inflate the network, putting the string under tension while the string holds the balloons in place. Neither component on its own is able to support a load; the string would collapse and the balloons would fly apart. Together, however, they can withstand tensile and compressive loads with the degree of deformation depending on the load, the architecture and knots (cross-links) of the string network, and the number and degree of inflation of the balloons. A network containing a few floppy balloons will deform more than one stuffed full of highly inflated ones. In the tissue, the collagen network assumes the role of the string with variations in its weave governing its mechanical behaviour (Hukins, 1984). The role of the balloons is fulfilled by water, drawn into the tissue by the high swelling pressure arising mainly from the osmotic properties of proteoglycans (Urban et al., 1979).
Proteoglycan swelling pressure and development
These mechanical functions of proteoglycans and collagen have an important role in development. The stiff collagenous notochordal sheath resists osmotic swelling of the notochord. The resulting rise in internal pressure permits the notochord to elongate and straighten without being buckled by the surrounding tissues (Adams et al., 1990). The development of a pressure within the notochord because of the restraints imposed by the surrounding cartilaginous sheath is also necessary for formation of the intervertebral discs; this mechanical pressure induces notochordal cells to migrate from the vertebral bodies to the presumptive intervertebral disc area and so form the nucleus pulposus (Theiler, 1988; Rufai et al., 1995). No intervertebral discs form in mice with abnormal collagens and thus weakened cartilage, which is unable to exert the necessary mechanical stimulus on the notochord (Aszodi et al., 1998).
Aggrecan and disc water content
The osmotic pressure of aggrecan arises mainly from the highly sulphated GAG chains which confer a high negative fixed charge on the matrix. The concentration of fixed negative charges determines the concentration of extracellular ions in the tissue through the Gibbs-Donnan equilibrium (Maroudas and Evans, 1974). Positively charged molecules such as small cations are thus attracted into the tissue to balance the negative charges of the GAGs, while negatively charged molecules are repelled to some extent. In the centre of a normal disc [Na+] is around 400 mm and [Cl-] is around 80–100 mm compared to a concentration of around 140 mm for both ions in serum. The concentration of cations and anions varies directly with local GAG concentration. The osmotic pressure arising from these ions is mainly responsible for the swelling pressure of the disc; the size of the GAG chains or the integrity of the aggrecan molecule has little effect on tissue osmotic pressure (Urban et al., 1979).
The water content of the disc depends both on aggrecan content and on the pressure applied to the disc by external loads. Pressure on the disc arises more from muscular activity than from body weight and thus varies with posture and movement. In human lumbar discs, pressure is lowest when lying prone (at around 0.1–0.2 MPa) and increases 5–8 fold when standing or sitting (Nachemson and Elfstrom, 1970). In order to maintain osmotic equilibrium, fluid is expressed as pressure increases, but because of the disc's size and low hydraulic permeability, water loss is slow and equilibration takes many hours; the disc thus rarely achieves osmotic equilibrium. In humans, around 20–25% of the disc's water is expressed due to high loads imposed by muscle tensions during the day's activity; this water is regained during the decrease in load under rest at night (Boos et al., 1993). This cyclical change in fluid content is thought to be responsible for the oscillating length of the spine which is 1–2 cm longer in the morning than in the evening (DePuky, 1935), while increase of disc hydration under weightlessness could also account for the 5cm height gain in space flight (Brown, 1977).
In discs containing notochordal nucleus cells, the collagen content of the nucleus is very low, the discs remain highly hydrated throughout life and thus act hydrostatically when loaded, distributing pressure evenly to the adjacent annulus and endplate; these discs rarely show signs of degeneration such as clefts in the annulus or endplate (Bray and Burbidge, 1998). In humans and some animals however, aggrecan content/dry weight of the nucleus decreases with age as does hydration (Fig. 2). The nucleus eventually no longer acts hydrostatically (McNally, 1995), thus the annulus and endplate are exposed to high point stresses which might lead to the cracks and fissures seen in degenerate discs. In addition, since hydraulic permeability increases with aggrecan loss, as well as having a lower fluid content, degenerate discs will lose that fluid more quickly under load. As water is the main component of the disc, loss of fluid leads to a fall in disc height and abnormal loading of other spinal structures such as the apophyseal joints (Fig. 3)(Adams et al., 1990).
The disc is subjected to varying mechanical forces at all times. Exposure to heavy mechanical stress over long periods is thought to be another factor leading to disc degeneration. It has been suggested that under normal conditions the disc is subjected to Wolff's law, i.e., applied stress affects cellular activity and the disc remodels to build a matrix which minimises the stress (Brickley-Parsons and Glimcher, 1984). Some studies have found that the matrix synthesis and production of proteinases by disc cells can be influenced by mechanical signals such as hydrostatic pressure (Fig. 4) (Handa et al., 1997; Ishihara et al., 1996), change in fluid content (Ohshima et al., 1995); (Ishihara et al., 1997) and stretch (Matsumoto et al., 1999). These signals lead to alterations in production of both proteoglycans and of proteases and thus could potentially influence turnover of the matrix. At present however, it is difficult to relate these results to the disc's responses to load in vivo. Animal studies have however shown that the disc responds to prolonged changes in loading (Stokes et al., 1996) and that high levels of static compression can induce disc degeneration (Lotz et al., 1998).
The biomechanical responses of the disc depend on its macromolecular composition which is ultimately regulated by the activity of the disc's cells. The health of the disc thus depends on the ability of the cells to produce a matrix appropriate for the mechanical loads routinely encountered.
Degeneration can occur through loss of nutrient supply to the cells or because the cells cannot respond adequately to inappropriate mechanical or chemical signals. At present, factors which regulate the behaviour of disc cells are poorly understood and until this area is better understood, the problem of disc degeneration in man and other species will not be solved.

|Meeting Description:
|War and Peace in the Life of Language: A Symposium on the Role of Extra- and Intralinguistic Conflicts in the Development of Language Theory and Practice
Language often presents a battlefield upon which conflicts regarding the 'right' and 'wrong' approaches to practice or theory are played out. The prescribed norm of a standardised language may be perceived as being threatened by innovations and external influences, against which concerned language users feel themselves moved to fight or take action. The trauma of war or socio-political tensions can necessitate the taking of measures to regulate the teaching and use of a language. With regard to language pedagogy, linguistic and psychological paradigm shifts can result in conflicting methodologies and lead to new approaches to the learning and teaching of a second language.
In cultural, ideological and military conflict, translation and interpreting may be politicised; they may be used to justify or legitimise positions but also to mediate conflict. In each of these cases, there is a clash between two or more groups, each of which believes that it can claim the one correct variety or philosophy of language or the one correct approach. These conflicts may be inter-generational, or may involve groups of different philosophical, social or political backgrounds. Equally, extra-linguistic conflicts and socio-political tensions inevitably modify the conditions in which language is used, which often serves as a catalyst for the development of new directions in linguistic theory and practice.
Although the majority of the issues mentioned above have received due attention in both scholarly and public discussions, the aim of this conference is to focus on the role of conflict in shaping the development of language theory and practice.
The conference fee will be £30 (£15 for postgraduates).

text: The The Savage Hawkman Vs. The Black Plague wiki last edited by guttridgeb on 06/27/13 03:14AM View full history The exciting conclusion to the Savage Hawkman's first adventure is here! Hawkman battles his way through Dr. Kane's compound, where the alien monstrosity known as Morphicius is sheltered. But in his quest for alien knowledge, Dr. Kane unknowingly jumpstarts what Morphicius refers to as the Black Plague. Can Hawkman contain this deadly outbreak, or will New York soon become infected with lethal, fast-spreading alien organisms?Hawkman and Askana are forced to join forces to fight Morphicius and his mutated minions. Morphicius states that the plague has made him stronger, and now he will consume Earth. However, Hawkman refuses to let Morphicius win. As the two fight, Askana tells Hawkman that his Nth metal weapons are useless against Morphicius.Hawkman remembers the message about the alien judge. Then, the Xenusian mutants surround him and Morphicius claims that Hawkman's Thanagarian metal will feed his army for centuries, surprising Hawkman about the Nth metal's origin.Meanwhile, Kane releases Waker from cryogenic confinement so that he can reveal a way to defeat Morphicius. However, Waker refuses to help him.Hawkman and Askana barricade themselves behind a blast door. Askana tells Hawkman that the Xenusians are invincible unless Morphicius is defeated. Hawkman realizes Morphicius is looking for Kane and asks where he is, and Askana replies that he is in the cryogenic chamber, retrieving his genetic samples. Then, Hawkman chases after Morphicius, leaving Askana on her own.Kane tries to call his helicopter, but Morphicius attacks him, trying to absorb his energy. Then, Hawkman arrives and throws Morphicius to the cryogenic chamber. Hawkman remarks that he is aware of the alien judge's message and now, he knows Morphicius's weakness. Then, Hawkman blasts him with liquid nitrogen, completely freezing him.Then, Waker appears before Hawkman, telling him that today, he is his friend. Waker says that while Morphicius is defeated, the plague can still be dispersed while Kane retains his genetic samples. As Hawkman leaves, Waker refers to him as Katar Hol, saying that he holds his key.Hawkman reaches Kane's helicopter and takes the genetic samples. Hawkman says that Kane's pilot has abandoned him and flies away, leaving Dr. Kane alone on the failing helicopter.Later, Carter meets up with Emma in the Bronx. When she asks him if he is going to disappear again, he replies that he plans to stay on New York for a while. Then, Carter begins seeing several disfigured people.

Testing with the latest (Nov. 16) birch nightly.
Long pages are sometimes cut off at the bottom, some are cut off at the right side as well.
For example, open https://wiki.mozilla.org/EU_MozCamp_2011/Schedule.
Most of the time, I don't see the bottom of that page. If I zoom in and press Reload, it gets better.
Zooming in too much is counter-productive however. If I do this on http://www.heise.de/newsticker/ and pan upwards, I scroll both the page (new text is pulled out of the checkerboard), but also move the visible content upwards and see more of the checkerboard (but not the bottom of the page) until the page is gone.
Another nice example is about:about. Zoom out and press reload, zoom out further and press reload etc., until only the heading (or the first letter of it) is visible (zoom in to check). This is reversible by zooming in and reloading. It also affects the next page you're loading in the same tab.
Maybe bug 701594 (Should not be able to stay zoomed out further than the page width) will help here.
I am able to load https://wiki.mozilla.org/EU_MozCamp_2011/Schedule on today's native build would you please recheck.
It got better, i.e. it displayed the whole page. But if you zoom out on that page or on about:about, it is cut off.
It will be fixed by the "css-zoom" patch on
Created attachment 575921 [details]
This just got fixed by the pan-zoom-patches (bug 703141).

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Our newly renovated and well-equipped cabin sits at the end of a dead-end road on three secluded acres including rolling lawn, woodlands, and a pretty pond. You probably won't hear another car all weekend. Yet we are less than five miles from Woodstock, the cultural center of the Catskills, with its galleries, theaters, festivals, restaurants, concerts, and boutiques.
Maybe you won't get back in your car for your entire stay - you can sit on one of our large decks, or screened-in porch, or soak in the hot tub, and watch deer, wild turkey, (and maybe even a bear) stroll by. Or walk across the road for a hike on hundreds of acres of public land. In the winter, build a fire in the wood stove, or go sledding down our own hill.
Or you might use our home as a comfortable base for all the cultural and recreational activities available in the area - hiking, rafting, skiing, swimming holes, are all nearby.
Wi-fi included. See link below for dozens of more photos.
Lovingly renovated by an artist, and filled with art, the house features new bathrooms, bedrooms, and kitchen, and tons of outdoor deck space.
We're less than two hours from the George Washington Bridge - and there's even a Trailways bus stop about two miles from the house. But once you turn into our driveway, you are in another world of quiet and relaxation.
If you would like to see more photos, please contact us.
Beautiful, secluded setting at end of dead-end road, Art-filled home newly renovated by an artist, Piano, Hot tub, Pond on property (not for swimming), Hiking on public land across the road, Screened rear deck, Large decks front and rear, Ceiling fans throughout, Sit on the deck and watch deer, wild turkey, (and maybe even a bear) stroll by. 55" UltraHD Internet Television with Netflix, Amazon, etc. (no cable or satellite - bring your laptop to stream content to the TV.) Wi-fi, SiriusXM satellite radio, and a stereo system for your iPod or CDs.) Property is a mix of lawn, woods, and pond area, bordered by beautiful old stone walls. House stays cool in summer.
This home was all that it was described, and more. Comfrotable well-equipped home. Several seprate living areas makes this home work well with groups, or an intimate get together. Enough shade to be cool in the summer, and close to the town of Woodstock for dining shopping etc. A wonderful find, we will be back!
My wife and I stayed here with another couple and our kids (collectively, four boys between 2 and 6 yrs old) over Labor Day weekend. The property is really gorgeous -- plenty of room to kick a ball around in the back yard and then there's the lovely little pond which the boys enjoyed exploring (toads, a flock of wild turkeys etc.) Town is a ten minute drive away, convenient and cute. We'd been to Woodstock plenty of times, so really we were just up there to escape apartment life in Brooklyn and enjoy nature. There's a hammock out front that was just wonderful -- both for playing with the kids in it and for taking a restorative mid-day nap. Great grill on the back porch and the jacuzzi was perfect for a grownups-only bottle of wine at night when the kids went to bed. The inclusion of all the sheets and towels is a huge plus and made packing easy; the place is very clean and easy to get around (so long as you can handle stairs etc.) My only knock is that it'd be nice if the owner allowed tenants to use the fire-pit...our boys were very interested and wanted to make s'mores etc, but it is clearly disallowed so we did not. I understand (since I used to own a place w fire-pit and not everyone knows how to manage a fire safely.) Still, kind of a bummer. That said, don't let that little quibble prevent you from renting this stellar property. owner was very easy to work with and communicates well with detailed instructions on everything (verging on the hilariously over-documented, but actually super useful!)
From the moment i contacted the homeowners i knew this would be a great experience. Michael and Anne have thought of everything. The home exceeded our expectations. Beautiful, clean and well stocked. I had a question after we arrived and immediately received a call to help me navigate the stereo,( im technology challenged). We even had a black bear sighting just to make our stay that much better. We had planned to go out to dinner but we were so comfortable we stayed in both nights. Would highly recommend this property.
The Pond House was a supper place for our family to take a few days away from city life. The secluded location and beautiful property were perfect for our 2 1/2-year old grandson to explore. The house is very nice with plenty of room for four couples or a family with a need for multiple rooms. We enjoyed the kitchen/living area but the best place for gathering was the screened rear porch. Having breakfast in the rain on the porch was magic. The bathrooms (one up, one down) were fine but I would not recommend the tubs for those with movement disabilities. The house rules (i.e., instructions) provided by the owner were very helpful and guided us through operating the house and let us focus on having fun. Woodstock is a short drive away and a most interesting, artsy town but with nice restaurants and varied shopping.The photos on the VRBO website are accurate but don't do the property justice ... it is better than it looks in the photos. All in all, I would highly recommend this property for a get away vacation.
My friends and I recently came back from staying at Michael's home for a long weekend and we had such an awesome time! The house was so much bigger and more beautiful than we expected. Our main concerns were the one neighbor within an earshot and the house not having AC, but everything turned out fine. No complaints from the neighbor and the house stayed cool during our stay! We enjoyed grilling and relaxing in the hot tub - overall, I recommend! We will definitely be back next summer.
From the start Michael the owner was wonderful. The pictures are true to the cabin. The decks were amazing. Coffee or wine overlooking the grounds was picture perfect. Also, not having television's was pretty darn amazing. Life does go on....haha. The free wifi and stereo systems an added bonus. I must say the cabin in a whole was perfect. We stayed for my sister's bachelorette weekend. The house was comfortable for 8 women. Thanks Michael for sharing your home. I would recommend it to anyone.
Great stay, quiet and isolated, hot tub was great, saw three bears swim in the pond! Very close to Woodstock, which has cute restaurants.

This is your resource to discuss support topics with your peers, and learn from each other.
Right now my app uses a TCP SocketConnection to communicate with a remote server. This works fine, but I'm trying to make sure my program can gracefully handle the situation of moving to an area with no coverage.
When I run my app, if I uncheck the "In coverage" checkbox for GSM and CDMA under network properties, my app does fine until it calls the OutputStreamWriter.write() function to send something over the socket connection. I have it within a try/catch block, but it just seems to hang instead of throwing an exception.
How can I check the signal before trying to send data over the SocketConnection?
To help clear things up, here is the order of what's happening:
1. App starts while in coverage.
2. SocketConnection is made successfully.
3. OutputStreamWriter is made from SocketConnection successfully.
4. Coverage is lost
5. OutputStreamWriter.write() is called, but hangs instead of throwing an exception.
Solved! Go to Solution.
Never had a socket hang on a write, at least not that I am aware of. It usually hangs on the following read, and eventually times out. Does your write time out? Are you seeing this on the Simulator or the Device? What OS levels are involved.
Mine does not seem to time out. It will just hang indefinitely or freeze the app (only when I tested it from the gui thread just to try a different thread). I am running on a 9530 simulator with OS 184.108.40.206.
The app keeps to itself except for some settings which are saved via persistent storage. I have one thread that is continuously reading from the socket, but it checks first to see if the IinputStreamReader is ready to be read from (thus no timing out whenever the signal is lost). Then I have another thread which is checking a runtime store for any outgoing messages that need to be sent. It runs until it calls this function:
//sends a string public void send(String s) throws IOException{ writer.write(s, 0, s.length()); }
When I have the default CMDA Network enabled, this runs fine. When disabled, it just gets stuck.
Would calling RadioInfo.isDataServiceOperational() be a safe way to determine whether or not it is safe to call my send() method?
I guess you understand the problem of freezing the app when calling on the Event Thread, so I won't talk about that.
I don't keep a socket open, I open, send or receive, then close. I've always thought that keeping a socket open was not a good thing.
The only thing I would say is that I do not send and receive at the same time on the same socket connection. So instead of having one Thread reading and another writing, I have one Thread that reads and writes - flip/flops according to a agreed protocol with the Server.
I'm confused about this statement:
"checks first to see if the InputStreamReader is ready to be read from"
How do you do this check?
I would recommend using RadioInfo.isDataServiceOperational() before doing any activity, but I'm not sure it is all you need in this case. I presume that your InputStream will give an exception if there is a lose of network. I would have thought at that time it would be appropriate to can the send Stream off as well, and re-instate it when the network is back. So your sends should remain queued.
BTW, is RuntimeStore a good place for your send messages? In our case, the data to be sent is persisted, to make sure that it will be sent should the device get rebooted, or battery taken out.
Yes, I learned the hard way not to do any I/O on the Event Thread
I agree, I think having one thread for reading/writing would be a better idea. As for my socket, I plan on keeping the same one open until the connection is lost. Once I regain a signal I will reconnect with a new socket.
Now I understand how you could open a socket, send data, then close the socket, but with my company's software, information from the server can come at any time, so how do you know there is data to be read if you don't keep the socket open? Are you saying that I can open a socket, create an InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter, close the socket, and then continue using the streams made from the socket (which is now closed)?
InputStreamReader has a function called ready() that lets you know if there is any data to be read from the stream. I call InputStreamReader.ready() before ever reading anything from it.
I've started to implement RadioInfo.isDataServiceOperational() into my code and so far it's working out exactly how I want it to. The only connection I'll be making is a SocketConnection (and I/O streams form this socket), so as long as this function tells me when I am able to receive/send data then I guess I'm good to go.
Also, I see you point regarding storing my outgoing queue in persistent storage instead of runtimestore. I will make that change as well.
"Now I understand how you could open a socket, send data, then close the socket, but with my company's software, information from the server can come at any time, so how do you know there is data to be read if you don't keep the socket open?"
It is called PUSH.
I am lucky, in that the socket level communication I have been telling you about has been developed for the corporate market and BES Push has been there as long as I have been coding for BB's.
For consumer apps, there was, till now, nothing, so you basically had to do what you are doing (which to be honest, I'm not sure works), or poll. To do what you are doing I would have thought would require some sort of heart beat, and is expensive in terms of battery usage. Polling uses less battery, but of cause introduces a delay and there is potential for a lot of wasted polls (increasing battery usage and data charges).
The other alternatives were SMS, or email transmissions to alert the processing on the Blackberry that there was data ready. In fact I believe the email method worked quite well
But RIM recently announced BIS push, and at DevCon announced it would be free to use, at least for the first year. I believe there are beta testers for it now. There is information for it around, including some forum entries, but the best place to start is here:
It might be that you have to have some sort of paid for Alliance membership to sue this - I'm not sure.
That is really interesting and not something I would have thought happens. Thanks for passing this information on.
Does this means that the output socket connections will be 'held' regardless of the connectivity option (WAP 2, direct TCP or BIS-B especially) used?
12-16-2009 10:53 AM - edited 12-16-2009 10:55 AM
That's due to mobility management offered by cellular networks. In theory this should apply to all packet-switched communications over cellular networks. This would imply that WAP 2, Direct TCP, BIS-B, and MDS connections should survive losses of coverage, unless the server-side times them out while the device is out of coverage. I have only confirmed this for Direct TCP though.
Very interesting indeed.
Thanks for the help guys!

Angelina Jolie goes back into action-movie mode this summer with "Salt," and from the looks of the new trailer, it tips more to the "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" end of the scale than the "Wanted" end.
Jolie, in her first movie since "Changeling" in 2008, plays CIA Agent Evelyn Salt, who's accused of being a Russian spy with a mission to kill that country's president. She goes on the run, and lots of motorcycle-stealing, butt-kicking, hair-color-changing mayhem ensues.
The movie also stars Liev Schreiber as Salt's CIA colleague, who can't believe what he's hearing, and Chiwetel Ejiofor as the man assigned to track her down. Phillip Noyce ("Clear and Present Danger," "The Quiet American") directed the movie, which was written by Brian Helgeland and Kurt Wimmer.
Thrillers like what "Salt" appears to be can rise or fall depending on how well-executed the inevitable twist is, so it's hard to say whether the full movie will be as fun to watch as the trailer. These two-plus minutes, though, are pretty entertaining.

blazers with 3 degree helical. Quality broadheads and properly tuned bow will do this very well.
You're telling me you have a bow with 29" mods and it's pulling 28 inches. That can't happen unless there is a MAJOR issue. Like wrong string set etc. So I'm thinking you are measuring from the grip...
how are you measuring?
I have ascent with a surge head. Love it!
It will lock at full draw if you over rotate the cams. Those bows usually draw a little longer than advertised tho so you may get there.
I love mine, but being pretty picky, i'm actually gonna back up to 2013 and get a 2nd x ring because the draw cycle on them is ridiculously smooth for the power generated. Xpedition will be in the...
well........they're abundant.
you need to pull it on a draw board with a scale. You should not go past 80% let off as you CAN lock the bow up.
personally I have found the old and the fresh to be equally valueless.
grip torque shows up in broadheads, much like bareshafts.
Let the installer fix the situation.
TPU speed sleeves ?
These straps are an ABSOLUTE must have. Makes the stand MUCH safer. The bowholder is nice too. But Those straps are essential.
bowtech carbon overdrive? What is your cash price?
put the pics onto photobucket. Then post them here.
If that's the cheap hunter model, that happens a LOT. It has no brake to prevent it bouncing off the shelf and back into the path of your arrow. The Ld , Hd, And hdx have the brake that prevents that.
If you are set up square and have properly installed strings, you shouldn't need to go more than a couple in each cable to get good results. On your xcentric, when you do this, you will end up...
If you add or subtract a twist from either cable, you will change the synch. Look at your results and see if it improved the problem or made it worse. Then act accordingly. If you need more than a...
nothing. but who doesn't want to see bowkill pics? lol
set it back to square. Twist cables to get level nock travel. Make sure you are using a loose grip also.
To say grip is critical would be an understatement. Shooting bareshafts at longer distances takes a nearly perfect grip. if your broadheads are staying with your fp's at longer ranges, your good to...
try bohning double clicks.
6 weeks till frost!
When those stops hit does not have a (right ) place. They have a close place. But broadhead/bareshaft tuning will help you find the REAL right spot.
Yes. agree 100% od binaries are da bomb
The third hand straps are MUST. I choose the razor because I have a viper elite and a razor and the lower bar position of the razor is WAYYYYYYYY nicer while climbing. So much so, that I take the...
The assassin is a good little bow. As a tuner, I'm not a fan of the binary cams limiting what a I can do with it. But they shoot quite well. Different cam system than your hoyt was.
move rest right a tiny bit. Measurement is good for starting, but the bow says that's not right.

Campari is turning 150, and they celebrated the momentous birthday Sunday night at the Bowery Hotel in a an artistic celebration replete with James Franco singing, pastie-filled performances, and of course specialty cocktails prepared by notable bartenders, all benefiting the United States Bartending Guild.
ArtInfo has further details:
The Art Production Fund, which helped organize the event, promised a performance by artist Kalup Linzy and a surprise guest as the centerpiece of the evening, and they did not disappoint. Soon after the much-in-demand drag paragon went onstage in a skintight gold bodysuit, a tuxedo-clad James Franco -- actor, performance artist, and friend of Marina Abramovic -- appeared by his side to entertain the Campari-swigging crowd with the aid of a live band. These two, who also work on a radio show for Alanna Heiss's Art On Air, are fluid collaborators.
And that wasn't all for the evening -- there was also burlesque, provided by performers Angie Pontani, Miss Tickled, and the World Famous BOB, all watched over by consul general of Italy Francesco Talò.
And Campari's 150th birthday has only just begun:
[Campari's] year-long celebration will include limited-edition bottles with artist designed labels, celebratory cocktails created by some of the most notable mixologists in the United States, sesquicentennial events, and a special visual arts performance commission that continues Campari's bold and longstanding tradition of supporting contemporary art.
Check out the photos from the birthday bash below, all from Patrick McMullan.
