Frontier Wrestling Alliance (FWA) is a British professional wrestling promotion. Established in 1993 as the Fratton Wrestling Association it soon became the Frontier Wrestling Alliance six years later and until 2007 when it lost a scripted inter-promotional feud with International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom. As a result of losing the promotion was forced to close and the company XWA was founded, largely based on the old FWA with some old staff and wrestlers as well as some championships. However, in 2009 the FWA brand was relaunched again as a separate promotion to the XWA.
First run
The FWA initially started out as the Fratton Wrestling Association in 1993 by Mark Sloan in an attempt to create a forum for serious wrestling training and performance based in Portsmouth. Renaming the promotion to the Fratton Wrestling Alliance 1999, it experienced a renovation that geared it towards national expansion and promoted its first show in February of that year, changing to Frontier Wrestling Alliance by the second show in June. The promotion soon produced a regional television programme in Portsmouth as well as founding a training academy to create its own talent. The emphasis on new wrestlers organically led to an early storyline of new, internationally influenced wrestling clashing with traditional British wrestling with some veterans brought in to help promote FWA's own performers.
The company created a British championship later that year and in 2000 also crowned tag team champions as it continued to expand, performing across the south of the country. By August FWA began promoting shows with foreign talent, initially Sabu and Dan Severn, which it would continue to do so during its first run by cross promoting with other promotions. This eventually led to the British Heavyweight Championship being won by American wrestler Christopher Daniels, the belt being defended on international soil and a joint-promoted event with American independent promotion Ring of Honor in 2003. The company used international stars to gain notoriety and were further aided in advertisement when Alex Shane became a regular presenter on national talk radio station Talksport, aiding the company's expansion into the north of England. The ties with Talksport became important when FWA promoted a show from the Crystal Palace Indoor Arena that was broadcast live on radio and later on national television, through Bravo.
In late 2006, FWA entered into a scripted feud with International Pro Wrestling: United Kingdom (IPW:UK) when FWA wrestlers invaded IPW:UK's annual Brawl At The Hall event and took some of the locker room hostage. In the elimination tag team contest, Team FWA beat Team IPW:UK and proclaimed war on the company. As the rivalry intensified over the next few months, wrestlers from both rosters had matches in both promotions and neutral ground with FWA gaining the early advantage. After months of clashes three events were held under joint banners with the final show, IPW:UK vs. FWA: Final Frontiers, booked for a match between IPW's Martin Stone and an unnamed FWA wrestler to with both companies' future on the line. The show featured lots of in-fighting, including the two commentators breaking out into a brawl and ended with the mystery FWA wrestler being revealed as the retired former FWA British Heavyweight Champion Flash Barker who lost the match, resulting in FWA folding in March 2007.
Closure and XWA
After the FWA went out of business, Greg Lambert and Mark Kay held a press conference and formed a new promotion named XWA alluding to their former company but insisting the two had a different ethos, with the new company gearing its product towards family entertainment rather than being adult orientated. Despite only basing their promotion on the former company, XWA inherited the physical British Heavyweight and Flyweight Championship belts from FWA and continued to use them, promising to also resurrect the FWA Tag Team Championship, though they never would. However, in April 2009 at XWA's War On The Shore V, Lambert finally announced the creation of XWA's own British Heavyweight Championship belts and gave the FWA belt to Alex Shane, making his only appearance at an XWA event, while Shane presented the new physical title to the winner of the evening's championship match, Sam Slam.
Despite being on the losing end of the battle with IPW:UK and the XWA promotion purportedly taking its lineage, in May 2009, over two years after its original demise, Tony Simpson and Alex Shane announced their intention to revive the national promotion. They held their comeback show, New Frontiers, in early August with matches designed to crown a new FWA World Champion and FWA Flyweight Champion.
On 13 February 2010 at the British Uproar event in Broxbourne, Martin Stone defeated Andy Simmonz in the tournament finals to become the first FWA World Heavyweight Champion. He subsequently turned heel and formed a faction called "The Agenda", whose aims are to decimate the UK's top talent in order to showcase their skills to the large American wrestling companies and earn a lucrative contract as a result. At the European Uprising show in Birmingham on 20 November 2010, Alex Shane turned heel and revealed it was he who was the real leader of the Agenda.
The promotion follows the same rules as seen in most of professional wrestling but has adopted the penalty card system from football, with the yellow card serving as a warning, and any red card offence resulting in disqualification. Piledrivers are banned under FWA rules and can result in a fine as well as disqualification.

Round 1 (1) - Jared Goff, QB California - Wentz is intriguing, but Goff's footwork and pocket awareness tilts scale here. Have other posts about Goff's abilities, won't rehash here. Will simply state Kurt Warner's endorsement is enough for me. (if you watch Goff's footwork and how he slides in pocket and then watch Warner's during his time in AZ you will find some similarities.)
Round 4 (110) Kevin Byard S, Middle TN State - Scheme fit prospect for what Rams seek at FS. High football IQ, reads qb's eyes well. Nineteen career interceptions.
Round 4 (113) Tyler Higbee TE, Western KY - Think Rams accept the risk associated with his selection. Snead attended pro day. His addition immediately makes Rams more physical operating in the middle of the field. Backup selection is Ben Braunecker TE, Harvard 6' 3" 250 lbs prospect. Lot to like about Braunecker's game if Rams decide Higbee's off field issues coupled with medical makes him too large a risk.
Round 6 (177) - Moritz Boehringer WR/TE, Germany Rams add an international Hard Knock story with this selection. Very raw prospect with huge upside. Impressive athleticism makes him too hard for Rams to pass on his selection. I see the Rams attempting to covert him to TE at the next level. Think the potential is there for him to add 25 to 30 lbs too his frame after one or two seasons working with an NFL training staff. Could become the most athletic pass catching TE in entire league?
Round 6 (190) Ricardo Louis WR, Auburn - projected as a "big slot" at the next level. Louis has the body of a rb and is an exceptional "catch and run" receiver. Rams have needed a more physical presence in the slot for quite some time. A huge need for any offense who faces NFC West defenses twice a season. Imperative Rams add a reliable "hot" receiver for their rookie qb. (Rams would be wise to do a one year deal with Boldin for 2016 for this very reason, especially if they start Goff season 1. Boldin would be a great mentor for Louis in 2016 as in all likelihood will need a season to develop. Hoping Boldin is a post June 1 signing.)

My name is Bri and I am a 37 year old professional who works hard during the week… likes to take it easy on the weekend. I have many interests – hanging out with my friends, going to the beach, walking my dog etc. I do lots of yoga so am up and out the door pretty early most days.
The house is a bright and spacious art-deco style house in the beachside suburb of Maroubra. Located in a quiet street, the house has polished timber floors throughout, high ceilings, separate lounge and dining areas, large kitchen with gas appliances; big bathroom with bathtub and shower; outside laundry and private backyard. If you have a car there are usually parks right outside.
The house is located within walking distance to the beach, cafes, shopping centres and public transport to the city and surrounds.
I have a dog, a 10 year old kelpie cross, Pip. She can be loud! Especially when people come to the door, but is otherwise pretty great.
I'm looking for someone relaxed, fun and normal to participate in the spirit of a share home. I'm a sociable person and like to have a chat, but am also very busy and independent so am looking for someone who is happy doing their own thing. If you're after a drama-free home and don't mind doing your bit to keep the house clean and tidy then we're on the same page. Must like dogs!

Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane, Saturday (AEST)

Head-to-head: Played 9, Reds 6, Force 3
In Brisbane: Played 5, Reds 5, Force 0
Referee: Angus Gardner (AUS)
TV: Live, FoxSports 2
TAB Sportsbet: Queensland Reds $1.09 v Western Force $6.50
Steve Samuelson writes: The stars are trickling back for the Reds and Will Genia is the latest. The Wallabies halfback captains a side that has won its past three. The Force are winless, but competitive. The boot of Sias Ebersohn will punish any indiscretions.
AAP writes: There are sub-plots galore in this one. Let's start with Will Genia. The Force were left stunned last year when the Wallabies scrumhalf reneged on his handshake deal to head west in order to sign a new three-year deal with the Reds. Ironically, this week's match will be Genia's first since tearing his ACL in September.
Another subplot is Richard Graham, who was forced to stand down as head coach of the Force last season after revealing he had signed a deal to join the Reds for their 2013 campaign. Queensland winger Digby Ioane will miss the match through suspension following an off-field misdemeanour, while the winless Force are without Nick Cummins (knee) and possibly skipper Matt Hodgson (hamstring).

Speedster Hot Rod (White) V2
Portability and performance in a compact, modern design
The Traveler Guitar Speedster Hot Rod is a full 24 ¾" scale travel guitar featuring a newly redesigned onboard V2 Headphone Amplifier.
Our proprietary In-Body tuning system uses standard tuning machines relocated into the body to create a guitar that has a full-scale neck, yet is substantially shorter than full size electrics. The lack of a headstock and a small, ergonomic body allow the guitar to be 28 percent shorter and 51 percent lighter than a full size electric, all while preserving the same full-scale playing experience you're used to.
Plug in headphones or your favorite amp and cycle through clean, boost, overdrive and distortion tones using the custom tap-pot. The dual-rail humbucker has a coil-split switch which allows for even more sonic versatility by giving you humbucker gain or single coil clean all in one pickup. In addition, the Speedster Hot Rod's V2 Headphone Amp is loaded with an aux-in jack so you can play along with your favorite tracks while listening through headphones or your favorite amp.
The Upper Arm Support detaches for travel, and the whole package fits neatly inside its included Gig Bag, weighs just 4-pounds, 12-ounces, and stows easily in airline overhead compartments.

In case you missed it, Friday marked the five-year anniversary of the intraday low of the Credit Crisis bear market. However, the closing low was set on March 9, 2009 at S&P 500 676.53. Thus, through Friday's close, the current bull market has gained 177.6 percent. Not bad for a period where the bears were quite sure the sky was actually going to fall - on several different occasions.
Sure, things were downright ugly 5 years ago. At the close of March 9, 2009, the S&P 500 found itself down 25 percent on the year. This after losing 38.5 percent the year prior. Yep, things were looking pretty grim at that time. As such, people were giving up on the stock market as an investment class in droves.
But then it happened. With just about everyone in the game (yours truly included) convinced that the global banking system was on the verge of collapse, JPMorgan's (JPM) Jaime Dimon stepped up to the press microphones and said something to the effect of "You guys know we're making money, right?"
It's a Bull Market ...
Now fast-forward five years. Today, the rolling five-year track records of the same growth funds that had been slaughtered first in 2000-02 and then again in 2008-09 (lest we forget, both bears produced losses from high to low of more than 50 percent) look great. The public has gotten over its fear of stock market losses and stocks like Facebook (FB), Google (GOOG), Tesla (TSLA), SuneEdison (SUNE) and Yelp (YELP) look great and sectors such as biotech (XBI) are soaring. Heck, even Mr. Softie (MSFT) is looking investable again!
Thanks in no small part to Ben Bernanke and his merry band of central bankers, the stock market is back. Real estate is definitely on the way back. And bonds, well, that's a story for another day. The point is that giving up on the U.S. stock market - especially when things look bleak - is usually a bad idea.
But, Trees Don't Grow To The Sky
However, it is important to remember (although honestly, it is hard to imagine that anyone has forgotten) that the stock market is not a one-way street. Well, not for long, anyway. Every once in a while the bears awaken from hibernation and go on a rampage.
Remember, the average bull market lasts about two and a half years and is then interrupted by a bear market. Historically, bear markets last about nine months and produces losses of about 31 percent. Therefore, attempting to sidestep such unpleasantness would appear to be a worthwhile endeavor.
The trick is to be able to identify when the environment has changed. You see, when the environment changes and the bears come to call, that "buy the dip" strategy needs to morph into a "buy when there is blood in the streets" strategy.
Anyone Can Buy Stocks, It's Knowing When to Sell That Counts
Of course, being able to buy when everyone is losing their heads means that you had to have sold at some point. And this, dear readers is the focus of this morning's missive.
Last November, we highlighted a long-term sentiment indicator that has warned of some pretty significant bear markets in its time. These sell signals don't occur very often. But they have usually been accurate, albeit a bit early at times. Such is the case when playing the sentiment game. And with most of our sentiment indicators continuing to wave yellow flags right now, the key takeaway is that the next meaningful decline may be closer than all those perma-bulls would care to believe.
Today let's look at another long-term indicator that has a pretty good record of calling bear markets. And one that just recently flashed a sell signal!
The Margin Debt Indicator
Here's the way this indicator works. We are looking at total margin debt. But we are only looking for periods when margin debt is first excessive and then - and this is the key part - reverses.
Frankly, looking at the total amount of margin debt on a monthly basis isn't helpful. Due to the changes in the marketplace and the ever-increasing accessibility of margin debt, it is little surprise that the chart of total margin debt since 1970 slopes upward from the lower left to the upper right of the chart.
Now We're Talkin'
Again, looking at total margin debt isn't really helpful - at all. However, if one looks at the rate of change of margin debt, now we're talking.
So here's the indicator: Take a 15-month rate of change of total margin debt. When the 15-mo ROC rises above 48 percent, history shows this to be an "excessive" rate of change. In short, this means that things are heating up in the stock market.
But if we've learned anything about sentiment indicators, it is that excessive speculation is not, in and of itself, a signal to sell. No, it is when speculation reaches an extreme and then reverses that really matters.
What To Watch For
So, when the 15-month rate of change of total margin debt first rises above and then falls back below 48 percent - a sell signal is given.
Since 1970 there have been a total of 11 sell signals. In our estimation, 7 have been "killer" signals such as the sell signals in 1973, 1976, 1987 (yes, before the crash), 1998, 2000, and then there were double sell signals seen in 2008. Nice.
However, there were also a couple of clunker signals given over the years. For example, one would have needed a buy-stop in 1984 and 1993 as the market simply charged higher after the signals were given.
Because of the "bad" sell signals, the overall stats for the indicator aren't that impressive. Three months after a sell, the S&P was down -0.8 percent on average versus the average return of +3.1 percent for all three-month periods since 1970. Six months after a sell, the S&P was up 1 percent on average versus 6.5 percent for all six-month periods. Twelve months after a sell, the S&P was up 3.0 percent versus 13.9 percent. And eighteen months after a sell, the S&P has lost -1.7 percent on average versus a gain of 21.6 percent for all eighteen-month periods.
The key takeaway here is that this particular sell signal tends to be either VERY right - or - just plain wrong. However, if you know this going in, using a buy-stop at something like 5 percent above the prior high could help make this indicator very useful.
But ... Remember Not To Fight The Tape!
So, this is the second signal we've seen since November from indicators that are designed to tell us when things are getting frothy on a long-term basis. Does this mean it is time to head for the hills?
In a word, no. Remember, bull markets can go farther and last longer than almost anyone can imagine. Therefore, unless you like making big bets (and being wrong for long periods of time), it is a good idea to avoid "fighting the tape."
Therefore, perhaps the best way to know for sure that things are starting to break down is to keep an eye on the long-term trends. At this stage of the game, we will argue that a meaningful break below 1740 on the S&P 500 would be a clear warning that the bears may be starting to mount a return.
So, perhaps the best way to play right now is to continue to ride the bull train, but recognize that indicators such as our long-term sentiment and margin debt ROC are suggesting that the market may be starting to "set up" for the bears to awaken from a good, long nap. Put another way, feel free to keep dancing at the bull party, but please keep an eye on the location of the nearest door.

Scientific research is an ongoing source of hope for individuals and families affected by illness. The promise of improved diagnoses, therapies, and prevention strategies has motivated many individuals to get more directly involved in the promotion of scientific research on conditions affecting themselves and their loved ones. Disease advocates have made significant contributions to medical advancement and human welfare.
The answers to many fundamental questions about basic human biology, our experiences as individuals, and our history as a species will be illuminated by better access to large datasets that contain many human genomes tied to other forms of personal information, such as medical history and physical traits. Thus far, only a handful of individuals in the world have been extensively sequenced and studied. The PGP aims to change this by giving individuals a platform to share their genome, health and trait data.
Like other areas in human history, personal genomics will likely benefit greatly from "early adopters" who are willing and able to endure the difficulties and uncertainties that go along with exploring relatively uncharted territories. Early adopters of genome sequencing might be driven by self-curiosity or the pursuit of personal interests in biology or computing. Professional interests might be another reason for being an early adopter of personal genomics, especially for individuals whose work may be impacted significantly by genomics in the near future, such as certain health care workers, policy-makers, and IT professionals.

This is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/894,829, filed Jun. 29, 2001, titled "XML SERIALIZATION AND DESERIALIZATION", which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
A portion of the disclosure of this patent document contains material that is subject to copyright protection. The copyright owner has no objection to the facsimile reproduction by anyone of the patent document or the patent disclosure, as it appears in the Patent and Trademark Office patent file or records, but otherwise reserves all copyright rights whatsoever.
Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) is conventionally used for a first program to communicate information to a second program that may be running simultaneously on the same computer as the first program or on two different computers that may or may not be running the same operating system. In that regard, SOAP is used for encoding, or serializing, defined data structures. For example, SOAP specifies exactly how an HTTP header and an XML file are serialized so that one program can send a request to another program, passing information in the request.
Nevertheless, what is needed is a way to serialize an object having an arbitrary structure into an XML document so that the structure and the information contained in the object can be communicated between two programs that may be running simultaneously on the same computer or may be running on different computers that may or may not be running different operating systems.
The present invention provides a way to serialize an object having an arbitrary structure into an XML document so that the structure and the information contained in the object can be communicated between two programs that may be running simultaneously on the same computer, or that may be running on different computers that may or may not be running different operating systems. Additionally, the present invention can be used by a single program to save data for later use, such as after the computer on which the program is running has been turned off and then turned back on.
The advantages of the present invention are provided by a method for serializing an object instance to a serial format in which a mapping is generated between an arbitrary annotated source code file and a schema. The mapping is an internal structure used by the present invention for defining a correspondence between the shape of an object instance and the format of the document having the serial format. The arbitrary annotated source code contains programming types that describe the shape of an object instance, and the schema describes the format of a document having a serial format, such as XML. The mapping can be generated based either on an arbitrary annotated source code file or the pattern of a defined schema. After the mapping has been generated, an object instance corresponding to the arbitrary annotated source code is converted to the serial format based on the mapping by converting public properties, public fields and method parameters of the object instance to a document having the serial format. The serial format contains a shape of each class of the object instance and contains data contained within the object instance. According to the invention, the object instance is preferably converted to an XML document, although the present invention could convert an object instance to a document having a serial format other than XML, such as a custom binary format. Moreover, once the mapping has been defined, an XML document can be converted to an object instance based on the mapping.
XML schema documents and source code can also be generated from the mapping. The source code generated from the mapping describes only the data portions of programming types and does not include any logic or algorithmic statements.
The present invention is illustrated by way of example and not limitation in the accompanying figures in which like reference numerals indicate similar elements and in which:
The present invention may be more readily described with reference to
A basic input/output system 160 (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within computer 100, such as during start-up, is stored in ROM 140. The computer 100 also includes a hard disk drive 170 for reading from and writing to a hard disk (not shown), a magnetic disk drive 180 for reading from or writing to a removable magnetic disk 190, and an optical disk drive 191 for reading from or writing to a removable optical disk 192 such as a CD ROM or other optical media. Hard disk drive 170, magnetic disk drive 180, and optical disk drive 191 are connected to the system bus 130 by a hard disk drive interface 192, a magnetic disk drive interface 193, and an optical disk drive interface 194, respectively. The drives and their associated computer-readable media provide nonvolatile storage of computer readable instructions, data structures, program modules and other data for personal computer 100. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that other types of computer readable media that can store data that is accessible by a computer, such as magnetic cassettes, flash memory cards, digital video disks, Bernoulli cartridges, random access memories (RAMs), read only memories (ROMs), and the like, may also be used in the example operating environment.
A number of program modules can be stored on hard disk drive 170, magnetic disk 190, optical disk 192, ROM 140 or RAM 150, including an operating system 195, one or more application programs 196, other program modules 197, and program data 198. A user can enter commands and information into computer 100 through input devices such as a keyboard 101 and pointing device 102. Other input devices (not shown) may include a microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner or the like. These and other input devices are often connected to processing unit 110 through a serial port interface 106 that is coupled to the system bus, but may be connected by other interfaces, such as a parallel port, game port or a universal serial bus (USB). Further still, these devices may be coupled directly to system bus 130 via an appropriate interface (not shown). A monitor 107 or other type of display device is also connected to system bus 130 via an interface, such as a video adapter 108. In addition to the monitor, personal computers typically include other peripheral output devices (not shown), such as speakers and printers.
Computer 100 can operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 109. Remote computer 109 can be a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to computer 100, although only a memory storage device 111 has been illustrated in
When used in a LAN networking environment, computer 100 is connected to local area network 112 through a network interface or adapter 114. When used in a WAN networking environment, personal computer 100 typically includes a modem 115 or other device for establishing a communications over wide area network 113, such as the Internet. Modem 115, which may be internal or external, is connected to system bus 130 via the serial port interface 106. In a networked environment, program modules depicted relative to personal computer 100, or portions thereof, may be stored in a remote memory storage device.
It will be appreciated that the network connections shown are exemplary and other techniques for establishing a communications link between the computers can be used. The existence of any of various well-known protocols such as TCP/IP, Ethernet, FTP, HTTP and the like is presumed, and the system can be operated in a client-server configuration to permit a user to retrieve web pages from a web-based server. Any of various conventional web browsers can be used to display and manipulate data on web pages.
A primary aspect of the invention provides that when a schema for a document having a serial format is known, the public properties, public fields and method parameters of an object can be converted to a document having the serial format for storage or for transport. Accordingly, deserialization of a document having a serial format recreates an object-in its original state as long as the public properties and public fields of the object comprise the entire state of the object. Preferably, the present invention serializes an instance of an object to an XML document, and deserializes an XML document to an instance of an object.
A schema contains information about how the XML should look, or be arranged, when data is serialized. A programming type (a class) contains information about how the object should look, or be arranged, when deserialized. Thus, a class annotated with attributes contains information about what the object instance will look like and about how the data should be serialized into XML. Through custom attributes, these two sets of information are merged into mapping 203. It should be noted, though, that a complete mapping cannot be made solely by importing (i.e., analyzing) a schema because a schema does not contain complete information about what programming types should be created when serializing. Only the annotated source code has both sets of information. Nevertheless, it is possible to generate a mapping for the appropriate programming types using a set of predefined rules that primarily concern naming and that relate the schema to selected programming types when generating source code from a schema. Types generated from schema will have "default" names, that is, names that are usually the same names used in the schema. Another exemplary rule relates to how arrays are represented. For example, an array in code can be represented by using a conventional array or by using a collection. Each representation could be serialized in the same way in XML.
An XmlSerializer 206 and related tools, such as an XML Schema Definition (xsd.exe) tool, provide a bridge between programming language constructs/XSD schema (i.e., annotated code 204/XML schema 205) and an object instance/XML document (i.e., object instance 201/XML document 202) at both design time and run time. The XmlSerializer 206 is generated on demand the first time it is necessary to serialize or deserialize an object instance of a given type.
When the design starting point is a given schema 205 that follows the XML Schema Definition (XSD) language that is proposed by the W3C, the XML Schema Definition (xsd.exe) tool is used for importing schema 205 and for exporting source code 204 based on schema 205. When the design starting point is annotated source code 204, annotated source code 204 is compiled at 207 to produce compiled source code 208. That is, the data in an object is described using programming language constructs such classes, fields, properties, primitive types, or arrays. Customized classes, annotated with attributes, can be also be created by the present invention. A mapping 203 is generated by reflection at 209 based on compiled annotated code 208.
Reflection is a facility provided by some programming systems, such as the Common Language Runtime (CLR) provided by Microsoft of Redmond, Wash. in the .NET Framework, for code to inspect the nature of types (classes) available on the system. For example, a programmer can write code that queries the system for a list of methods defined on a given type. The information returned would include the names of the methods, their return types, and the names and types of parameters to the methods. Reflection can also be used to determine what properties and fields exist on a type, or what types have been defined on a system.
The Common Language Runtime provided by Microsoft for the .NET environment allows code to be annotated with "custom attributes," also called "metadata." The annotations are expressed by a programmer in source code. When compiled, the annotations are stored as additional information about the classes, methods, fields, properties and parameters defined in the source code. The Runtime may then use the additional information natively, or programs can use reflection to obtain the information.
Returning to
In either design situation, i.e., starting with a given schema or starting with annotated source code, the classes are annotated with custom attributes that are used by an XmlSerializer 206 for mapping between a XSD schema system to a Common Language Runtime (CLR) environment. The CLR environment is a runtime environment and is part of the .NET framework provided by Microsoft of Redmond, Wash. The CLR provides such features as cross-language integration and cross-language exception handling among other features, for developing and executing .NET applications.
At run time, instances of classes contained within an object instance 201 are serialized by XmlSerializer 206 into an XML document 202 based on mapping 203. Similarly, an XML document 202 is deserialized by XmlSerializer 206 into a run time object instance 201 based on mapping 203. In this regard, XmlSerializer 206 provides complete and flexible control over how XML is encoded into classes. For example, a public field or public property can be encoded as an attribute or an element. An XML namespace can be specified, and an element name or attribute name can be specified when a field or property name is inappropriate. Only the shape of an object class and the data contained in the object is contained in the serialized data. The type identity and assembly information is not included in the serialized data because only public properties and public fields are serialized by XmlSerializer 206. In situations when non-public, i.e., private, data is to be serialized, a conventional binary formatting method is preferred.
The present invention provides the advantages of working with strongly-typed classes while still having the flexibility of XML. For example, by using fields or properties of type XmlElement, XmlAttribute or XmlNode in strongly typed classes, parts of the XML document instance can be read directly into XML objects. Attributes for the application programming interface (API) for XmlSerializer 206 for controlling XML output and XML input are set forth in the following table:
Attribute Name
Allows specification of a field or
property that should be serialized as an
element in the XML document. Allows
specification of the name and namespace
for that element. Applies to SOAP-
encoded XML.
Specifies the name to be used in XML
Schema for the annotated enumeration.
Applies to SOAP-encoded XML.
Specifies that the annotated public field,
property, or parameter should be ignored
by the serializer and should not be
represented in the schema or serial
document. Applies to SOAP-encoded
Specifies an additional type to be
included in the reflection process. All
types ,ncountered when examining
fields; properties, and parameters are
included automatically.
SoapIncludeAttribute can be used when
subclasses not declared as property types
will be used. Applies to SOAP-encoded
Allows the type definition emitted in the
schema document to be customized.
Applies to SOAP-encoded XML.
When deserializing, the array will be
filled with XmlElement objects that
represent all XML elements unknown to
the schema. Applies to "literal" (XSD-
based) XML.
When deserialzing, the array will be
filled with XmlAttribute objects that
represent all XML attributes unknown to
the schema. Applies to "literal" (XSD-
based) XML.
The members of an array will be
generated as members of an XML array.
Applies to "literal" (XSD-based) XML.
Derived types that can be inserted into an
array. Applies to "literal" (XSD-based)
The class will be serialized as an XML
attribute. Applies to "literal" (XSD-based)
The field or property will be serialized as
an XML element. Applies to "literal"
(XSD-based) XML.
The element name of an enumeration
member. Applies to "literal" (XSD-
based) XML.
The property or field should be ignored
when the containing class is serialized.
Applies to "literal" (XSD-based) XML.
The class should be included when
generating schemas (and will thus be
recognized when serialized). Applies to
"literal" (XSD-based) XML.
The class represents the root element of
the XML document. (Use the attribute to
further specify the namespace and
element name. Applies to "literal"
(XSD-based) XML.
That the property or field should be
serialized as XML. Applies to "literal"
(XSD-based) XML.
That the class should be serialized as an
XML type. Applies to "literal" (XSD-
based) XML.
The XmlAnyElementAttribute or XmlAnyAttributeAttribute attributes can be applied to fields or properties that return arrays of XmlElement, XmlAttribute or XmlNode objects for reading unmapped elements and attributes into these fields or properties. Thus, documents can be processed that have additional elements and attributes that were added after design time and that were not known when the strongly-typed classes were designed.
When a property or field returns a complex object (such as an array or a class instance), XmlSerializer 206 converts the complex object to an element nested within the main XML document. For example, the first class in the following exemplary C# code returns an instance of the second class:
public Class MyContainer
public MyObject MyObjectProperty;
public class MyObject
public string ObjectName;
The serialized XML output provided by XmlSerializer 206, given an instance of the classes MyContainer and MyObject, will be:
<MyContainer> <MyObjectProperty> <ObjectName>My String</ObjectName> </MyObjectProperty> </MyContainer>
For this example, "My String" is a particular value the class ObjectName in the given instance of the classes MyContainer and MyObject.
When only the states of objects are saved, the class does not need to be modified. When, however, XML documents that conform to an exact XML schema are to be read or written, the XML output of XmlSerializer 206 can be controlled by setting selected attributes of the public properties and fields of the class. As shown in the following exemplary C# code, XmlAttributeAttribute is used for specifying that the Qty field should be encoded as an XML attribute having the name Quantity. Additionally, XmlElementAttribute is used for specifying that the Name field should be encoded as an XML element having the name ProductName.
public class Order
[XmlAttribute (AttributeName = "Quantity")]
public int Qty;
[XmlElement (ElementName = "ProductName")]
public string Name;
After serialization by XmlSerializer 206, the XML code appears as:
<Order Quantity = '15'>
When XmlSerializer 206 deserializes an instance of the class Order, the ElementName and AttributeName properties describe how to treat the properties named Qty and Name so that XmlSerializer 206 accurately reconstructs the object with the correct field and property values.
The following exemplary code also illustrates that each public field or public property of an object can be controlled by attributes:
using System; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Serialization; using System.IO; /* The XmlRootAttribute allows you to set an alternate name (PurchaseOrder)of the XML element, the element namespace; by default, the XmlSerializer uses the class name. The attribute also allows you to set the XML namespace for the element. Lastly, the attribute sets the IsNullable property, which species whether the xsi:null attribute appears if the class instance is sset to a null reference. */ [XmlRootAttribute("PurchaseOrder", Namespace= "http://www.cpandl.com", IsNullable = false)] public class PurchaseOrder { public Address ShipTo; public string OrderDate; /* The XmlArrayAttribute changes the XML element name from the default of "OrderedItems" to "Items". */ [XmlArrayAttribute("Items")] public OrderedItem[ ] OrderedItems; public decimal SubTotal; public decimal ShipCost; public decimal TotalCost; } public class Address { /* The XmlAttribute instructs the XmlSerializer to serialize the Name field as an XML attribute instead of an XML element (the default behavior). */ [XmlAttribute] public string Name; public string Line1; /* Setting the IsNullable property to false instructs the XmlSerializer that the XML element will not appear if the City field is set to a null reference. */ [XmlElementAttribute(IsNullable = false)] public string City; public string State; public string Zip; } public class OrderedItem { public string ItemName; public string Description; public decimal UnitPrice; public int Quantity; public decimal LineTotal; /* Calculate is a custom method that calculates the price per item, and stores the value in a field. */ public void Calculate( ) { LineTotal = UnitPrice * Quantity; } } public class Test { public static void Main( ) { string filename = "po.xml"; // Create an instance of the XmlSerializer class; // specify the type of object to serialize. XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(PurchaseOrder)); TextWriter writer = new StreamWriter(filename); PurchaseOrder po=new PurchaseOrder( ); // Create an address to ship and bill to. Address billAddress = new Address( ); billAddress.Name = "Rita Hernandez"; billAddress.Line1 = "1 Main St."; billAddress.City = "AnyTown"; billAddress.State = "WA"; billAddress.Zip = "00000"; // Set ShipTo and BillTo to the same addressee. po.ShipTo = billAddress; po.OrderDate = System.DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString( ); // Create an OrderedItem object. OrderedItem i1 = new OrderedItem( ); i1.ItemName = "Widget S"; i1.Description = "Small widget"; i1.UnitPrice = (decimal) 5.23; i1.Quantity = 3; i1.Calculate( ); // Insert the item into the array. OrderedItem [ ] items = {i1}; po.OrderedItems = items; // Calculate the total cost. decimal subTotal = new decimal( ); foreach(OrderedItem oi in items) { subTotal += oi.LineTotal; } po.SubTotal = subTotal; po.ShipCost = (decimal) 12.51; po.TotalCost = po.SubTotal + po.ShipCost; // Serialize the purchase order, and close the TextWriter. serializer.Serialize(writer, po); writer.Close( ); } }
creates the following XML (in the file referred to as po.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PurchaseOrder xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns=
<ShipTo Name="Rita Hernandez">
<Line1>1 Main St.</Line1>
<OrderDate>Tuesday, June 26, 2001</OrderDate>
<ItemName>Widget S</ItemName>
<Description>Small widget</Description>
Notice the following general features of source code annotation:
System.XmlSerialization.XmlSerializer is the main class used for XML Serialization. The previous example illustrates how to use System.XmlSerialization.XmlSerializer for serializing an object instance to XML by calling the Serialize method. Similarly, an object can be deserialized using the Deserialize method, which takes a stream from which to read the XML document and returns the deserialized object.
An exemplary use of the XML Definition Tool (Xsd.exe) could be that of a developer tasked with developing an application for processing XML documents that must conform to a specific XML schema (.xsd) document, such as a particular purchase order. Orders that conform to the XML schema are processed and a confirmation reply is sent to each customer. The specific XML schema is passed to the XML Schema Definition tool (Xsd.exe) as an argument, and the XML Schema Definition tool creates a set of classes that are precisely matched to the specified XML schema. According to the invention, the XML Schema Definition tool processes only schemas that conform to the www.w3.org Proposed Recommendation XMLSchema specification set forth at http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema. The classes having methods, properties, or fields are annotated, as required, by the reflection portion of the invention (i.e., reflection 209 in
Xsd.exe will produce the following schema for the classes used in the previous example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:tns="http://www.cpandl.com" attributeFormDefault="qualified"
elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://www.cpandl.com"
<xs:element name="PurchaseOrder" type="tns:PurchaseOrder" />
<xs:complexType name="PurchaseOrder">
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="ShipTo" type="tns:Address" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="OrderDate" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="Items"
type="tns:ArrayOfOrderedItem" />
<xs:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="SubTotal" type="xs:decimal" />
<xs:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="ShipCost" type="xs:decimal" />
<xs:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="TotalCost" type="xs:decimal" />
<xs:complexType name="Address">
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="Line1" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="City" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="State" type="xs:string"/>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="Zip" type="xs:string" />
<xs:attribute name="Name" type="xs:string" />
<xs:complexType name="ArrayOfOrderedItem">
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="OrderedItem"
type="tns:OrderedItem" />
<xs:complexType name="OrderedItem">
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="ItemName" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="Description" type="xs:string" />
<xs:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="UnitPrice" type="xs:decimal" />
<xs:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="Quantity" type="xs:int" />
<xs:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="LineTotal" type="xs:decimal" />
Similarly, running xsd.exe on that schema would produce classes that look substantially like the classes originally written for the example.
The application for processing the XML documents conforming to a specific XML purchase order schema is then created using XmlSerializer 206 for reading and processing XML documents, and for generating new XML documents confirming orders. To do this, XmlSerializer 206 serializes and deserializes the classes created by the XML Schema Definition tool.
Xml Serialization can serialize the parameters of a method in much the same way that a class is serialized. For example, Xml Serialization of attributes for Web Services also allows flexible sets of Web Services to be created and easily shape the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) that a Web Service expects and responds with. There are two sets of Xml Serialization attributes for Web Services: one attribute set for services described literally by an XSD document, and another attribute set for services that use the SOAP encoding, as defined in Section 5 of the SOAP spec, http://www.w3.org/TR/SOAP/.
For literal services, the attributes listed above can be used for controlling the shape, or arrangement, of the XML document that is being sent to a web service. For example, the following C# code:
<%@WebService language="c#" class="SimpleTest"%> using System; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Serialization; using System.Web.Services; using System.Web.Services.Protocols; public class SimpleTest { [WebMethod] [SoapDocumentMethod(ParameterStyle=SoapParameterStyle.Bare)] public Data SendData(Data x) { return x; } } public class Data { [XmlElement("TheInt")] public int MyInt; [XmlAttribute("str")] public string MyString; }
creates the following Xml for SOAP:
POST /test.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
SOAPAction: "http://tempuri.org/SendData"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-
<x str="string" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-
<SendDataResult str="string" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/">
For encoded SOAP, the Soap*Attributes found within System.Xml.Serialization can be used for controlling the shape of the XML. For instance, the following C# code:
<%@WebService language="c#" class="SimpleTest"%> using System; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.Serialization; using System.Web.Services; using System.Web.Services.Protocols; public class SimpleTest { [WebMethod] [SoapRpcMethod] public Data SendData(Data x) { return x; } } public class Data { [XmlElement("TheInt")] public int MyInt; [XmlAttribute("str")] public string MyString; }
creates the following SOAP:
POST /test.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
SOAPAction: "http://tempuri.org/SendData"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-
xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:types="http://tempuri.org/
<soap:Body soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/en-
<x href="#id1" />
<types:Data id="id1" xsi:type="types:Data">
<MyInt xsi:type="xsd:int">int</MyInt>
<MyString xsi:type="xsd:string">string</MyString>
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-
xmlns:tns="http://tempuri.org/" xmlns:types="http://tempuri.org/en-
<soap:Body soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/en-
<SendDataResult href="#id1" />
<types:Data id="id1" xsi:type="types:Data">
<MyInt xsi:type="xsd:int">int</MyInt>
<MyString xsi:type="xsd:string">string</MyString>
While the invention has been described with respect to specific examples including presently preferred modes of carrying out the invention, those skilled in the art will appreciate that there are numerous variations and permutations of the above described systems and techniques that fall within the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

Next would be to confirm your car rental booking. Coordinate with any international car rental service and they can have a car ready and waiting for you at your destination. Another option is to rent the car when you reach Germany , which is not difficult. Most service representatives speak English and will be happy to help you out.
Now you will need to know the important points of driving in Germany , the traffic laws. If you are an American, or have driven in the U.S. , you will find that driving in Germany is not much different.
Traffic lights
When pulling up to a traffic light you will notice that unlike the U.S. traffic lights which go from green to yellow to red and then directly back to green, German traffic lights will go from red to yellow and then green. More importantly is the 'right on red' rule we have in the U.S. This rule does not exist in Germany . If you try to make a right turn when the traffic light is red you may find yourself in a major lawsuit.
If you are thinking that the autobahn is the paradise for people with a lead foot you may end up with a speeding ticket. Although there are some stretches of the autobahn that have no speed limit there is a recommended speed limit of 120 kilometers per hour that you should obey. Granted, most do exceed this speed recommendation but now you know you can be ticketed.
Accidents: If you are the first on the scene of an accident in which someone has been injured you are required by law to provide assistance. Whether you simply stop and call an ambulance (112) not (911), or you provide medical aid, you must do something to help the casualty.
Also, do take note that Ausfhart is the German word for exit.

Hi guys,
WE LOVE RP is starting today and imho this round is really, really awesome. 58 designers who crafted awesome items for you. I am giving a preview of some of my personal favourites here. 🙂 Well, the first ones, the rest will follow soon enough. 🙂
The dresses!
These four dresses will ALL be available at WE LOVE RP once it starts today. All four of these dresses are so very different, yet so very awesome at the same time. To my knowledge, all of these are new releases AND original mesh, besides the dress by Evie's Closet, which is a template.
1. Dress: The first dress is provided by Inex Hax for Peqe and is truly regal design imho. Loving the colouroptions and loving the textures, too! The shading on this gown is pretty much perfect, even when I zoomed in I could detect no lazy edges that other designers often seem to leave. I wish the upper part could be worn separately, but that's really just nitpicking. 🙂 I enjoy this dress a lot and I think it is PERFECT for elves. 🙂 I have a feeling I will be wearing this a lot. 😛
2. Dress: Evangeline Miles has made this dress for Evie's Closet and once again proves all those elitist wrong that insist that only original mesh is worth its money. Nope, wrong. Evangeline's textures are marvelous and iho make up 100% for the fact that she is using a template here. I love this dress, I love the colouroptions available and I think the template she chose is terribly pretty. Probably even my personal fav.
3. Dress: DreamFantasia Nightfire is offering this dress for her store The Library. The shape is gorgeous and the colour really got me. I like the silky texture with the great highlights and also love the 'ruffle' that goes from to chest towards the back, it adds a nice detail. A simple yet incredibly elegant dress. Dream has come a long way, from using templates that used to look pretty …hmmmm…to this dress. Her progress has been insane.
4. Dress: Chandra Masala has designed this dress for her brand Apsara and as per usual, she is using strong colours and oriental (I hope this expression is right?) notes to enhance her items. Imho, you can spot "a Chandra" almost immediately among other dresses, her style is just THAT unique. As far as I know, she usually is inspired by indian fashion. It is original mesh and I LOVE the bright colours she uses. I think this dress would be PERFECT for various roles in various role-play settings. 🙂 Very pretty!

The last time we saw this much aluminium was when we hitched a ride on the back of a Land Rover. Not content with treating us to the MacBook's unibody chassis, Apple has now stretched it to 17 inches with its new MacBook Pro.
While huge, the MacBook Pro 17in is not at all heavy, and even though the price brings tears to our eyes it makes a lot more sense than the 15in model. As pleasant as the smaller version is, it offers little more than the 13inch MacBook for a lot more money. If you're willing to look beyond Macs, Dell, Sony, Acer and Asus all have reasonable competitors in that class.
Add two inches to the screen size, though, and Apple is way out on its own. There's simply no other 17in notebook that does what the MacBook does, nor do any come in as light and attractive a package.
Familiar refinements
With the whole line-up now complete, it's not an overstatement to say this is Apple's best notebook range ever. Let's recap the common features that make them stand out: there's the strong but light aluminium unibody, the large multitouch trackpad and powerful Core 2 CPUs, which make the desktop as perky and responsive as a Labrador puppy.
And speaking of the desktop, there's nothing to fault in the way it's rendered: the thin, LED-lit screen is as richly coloured and sharp as you could hope for – although it's worth noting some people have had to reinstall the OS to adjust the brightness properly.
Images are sent to the panel by the same dual graphics configuration as the 15in version. There's a low-power GeForce 9400 chip for general work, and a higher power GeForce 9600M for more intensive tasks – but this is still not a solution that we're easy with. For the extra cost and complexity it adds, the battery-saving characteristics of the 9400 are just not worth it.
Incredible battery life
The Pro shares its siblings' other fault too: there's no native support for HDMI, DVI or even DisplayPort – all require an extra adapter to connect here. We could always do with more USB ports and a bit more hard drive space, too, and the battery is – in the best Apple traditions – non-removable.
That latter point, though, is more than made up for by our final piece of praise – and we've saved the best 'til last. The battery life on this machine is astounding. Never less than six hours and often considerably more, it's incredible for a 17in machine.
Apple even claims the battery is designed to last three-times longer than a normal laptop before it starts to fail. Throw in the fact that it has a fairly decent set of speakers and a virtually instant boot time, and there's simply nothing to compare.

Beginners stay at home work for moms
When my husband got laid off in 2008, I started doing little writing jobs. They didn't pay that much...maybe $10-$15 per article or post. I also got a research job with a midwife. It didn't last long but it was work. But with the advent of the internet, if you are a decent writer, you should be able to find writing jobs pretty easily. The key is to be willing to do anything within your moral circle. I even house cleaned for a period of time, since hubby was home to take care of the children.
I know some moms opt for customer service type jobs from home. I see those a lot when I am looking for extra work. I did something like that for several months. But I was actually a contact person for a company and Sam's Club demo departments. I would call and check to make sure they got their demo kits, tell them what was expected of the demo and follow up with them the following week, ask them about last week's demo and talk about the new one coming up. I enjoyed what I did and if I dare say so was good at it. It just got to be too much when my infant boy was no longer content to nurse quietly in my arms and mommyhood came first so I gave up my position.
Then I got more into blogging and virtual assistant work (if you have any admin experience...this is very low entry cost wise to start).

THE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES - Chapter 5 - Verse 32
Verse 32. And we are his witnesses. For this purpose they had been appointed, Ac 1:8,21,22; 2:32; 3:15; Lu 24:48.
Of these things. Particularly of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and of the events which had followed it. Perhaps, however, he meant to include everything pertaining to the life, teachings, and death of the Lord Jesus.
And so is also, etc. The descent of the Holy Ghost to endow them with remarkable gifts, (Ac 2:1-4,) to awaken and convert such a multitude, (Ac 2:41; 4:4; 5:14, ) was an unanswerable attestation of the truth of these doctrines, and of the Christian religion. So manifest and decided was the presence of God attending them, that they could have no doubt that what they said was true; and so open and public was this attestation, that it was an evidence to all the people of the truth of their doctrine.

Adorable hat. Stays on well and is so cute. Great product. :)
I love the hat and Ginger will wear it. I love the quality of the hat and the decoration.
looks cute on, nice accessory for a costume
This hat is really cute but does not hold it's shape, as it lays downwards, like a sunbonnet. I have it fitted over a little tennis ball to try to get it shaped better. It was cute for a photo opportunity for my chi but very happy I did not pay more than I did.
Very cute; the small size fit my jack russell well.
Baxterboo is the only site that has excellent customer service and the sweetest sombrero for my chihuahua son. Aloha and mahalo Baxterboo!
We love this little hat! Right amount of cute for the right price!

text: From one extreme to another. The last Apple results couldn't have been much better, but the most recent figures for RIM, makers of the BlackBerry, make grim reading.Profits are down 47 per cent on the last quarter, although to be fair, the company still posted net profits of $329m and earnings of $4.2bn for the second financial quarter of 2011. That's not a bad turnover. But there is likely to be huge concern over the performance of the company's tablet. According to Pocket Lint, just 200,000 were sent out to shops in the last 90 days. That's the same number of iPad 2 tablets Apple sends out in two days. It's also lower than the 500,000 shipped in the last quarter. Not only that, the figure is only 'shipped' - sales are likely to be lower. Hmm.RIM confirmed it had sold 10.6 million BlackBerry smartphones in the same time period, but that was also well below expectations. However, things might be looking up, with the company claiming that the recent BlackBerry Bold 9900 and Curve BB OS 7 smartphones have gone down well: 'We successfully launched a range of BlackBerry 7 smartphones around the world during the latter part of the second quarter and we are seeing strong sell-through and customer interest for these new products,' said Jim Balsillie, Co-CEO at RIM.QNX smartphones could be the company's potential saviour, but that's not until next year. In the meantime, the PlayBook needs help. That should come in October, with a 'big update' planned for the tablet. That should bring it level with the competiion, with native email, calendar, and contacts as well as the Android App Player incoming. The should also be enhanced web browsing and the launch of a BlackBerry Video store, wih over 10,000 films and TV shows playable on users TVs via the HDMI out socket on the RIM tablet.Will that be enough? We might know when the next set of results come in.
