Three Ways to Web Server Concurrency
Multiprocessing, multithreading and evented I/O: the trade-offs in Web servers.
A Web server needs to support concurrency. The server should service clients in a timely, fair manner to ensure that no client starves because some other client causes the server to hang. Multiprocessing and multithreading, and hybrids of these, are traditional ways to achieve concurrency. Node.js represents another way, one based on system libraries for asynchronous I/O, such as epoll (Linux) and kqueue (FreeBSD). To highlight the trade-offs among the approaches, I have three echo servers written in close-to-the-metal C: a forking_server, a threading_server and a polling_server.
Shared Code
The Web servers use utils.c (Listing 1). The function
messages and optionally terminates the server;
information about a connection; and
creates a
syntactically correct HTTP response.
Listing 1. utils.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include "utils.h"
void error_msg(const char* msg, bool halt_flag) {
if (halt_flag) exit(-1);
/* listening socket */
int create_server_socket(bool non_blocking) {
/* Modify as needed. */
const int port = 3000;
struct sockaddr_in server_addr;
/* create, bind, listen */
int sock = socket(AF_INET, /* family */
if (socket < 0) error_msg("Problem with socket call", true);
/* non-blocking? */
if (non_blocking) fcntl(sock, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK);
/* bind */
bzero(&server_addr, sizeof(server_addr));
server_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
server_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;
server_addr.sin_port = htons(port); /* host to network endian */
if (bind(sock, (struct sockaddr*) &server_addr,
↪sizeof(server_addr)) < 0)
error_msg("Problem with bind call", true);
/* listen */
fprintf(stderr, "Listening for requests on port %i...\n", port);
if (listen(sock, BACKLOG) < 0)
error_msg("Problem with listen call", true);
return sock;
void announce_client(struct in_addr* addr) {
char buffer[BUFF_SIZE + 1];
inet_ntop(AF_INET, addr, buffer, sizeof(buffer));
fprintf(stderr, "Client connected from %s...\n", buffer);
void generate_echo_response(char request[ ], char response[ ]) {
strcpy(response, "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\n");
strcat(response, "Content-Type: text/*\n");
strcat(response, "Accept-Ranges: bytes\n");
strcat(response, "Connection: close\n\n");
strcat(response, request);
The central function is create_server_socket
, which creates a blocking or a
nonblocking listening socket. This function invokes three system
— create socket. -
— set port. -
— await connections.
The first call creates a TCP-based socket, and the bind call then specifies
the port number at which the Web server awaits connections. The listen
call starts the waiting for up to BACKLOG
if (listen(sock, BACKLOG) < 0) /* BACKLOG == 12 */
error_msg("Problem with listen call", true);
A Multiprocessing Server
The forking_server in Listing 2 supports concurrency through multiprocessing, an approach that early Web servers, such as Apache 1 used to launch Web applications written as, for example, C or Perl scripts. Separate processes handle separate connections. This approach is hardly outdated, although modern servers, such as Apache 2, typically combine multiprocessing and multithreading.
Listing 2. forking_server.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include "utils.h"
int main() {
/* Avoid zombies. */
signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN);
char buffer[BUFF_SIZE + 1];
struct sockaddr_in client_addr;
socklen_t len = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);
/* listening socket */
int sock = create_server_socket(false);
/* connections + requests */
while (true) {
int client = accept(sock,
(struct sockaddr*) &client_addr,
if (client < 0) error_msg("Problem with accept call", true);
/* fork child */
pid_t pid = fork();
if (pid < 0) error_msg("Problem with fork call", false);
/* 0 to child, child's PID to parent */
if (0 == pid) { /** child **/
close(sock); /* child's listening socket */
/* request */
bzero(buffer, sizeof(buffer));
int bytes_read = recv(client, buffer, sizeof(buffer), 0);
if (bytes_read < 0) error_msg("Problem with
↪recv call", false);
/* response */
char response[BUFF_SIZE * 2];
bzero(response, sizeof(response));
generate_echo_response(buffer, response);
int bytes_written = send(client, response,
↪strlen(response), 0);
if (bytes_written < 0) error_msg("Problem with
↪send call", false);
exit(0); /* terminate */
else /** parent **/
close(client); /* parent's read/write socket. */
return 0;
The forking_server
divides the labor among a parent process and as many
child processes as there are connected clients. A client is active until
the connection closes, which ends the session.
The parent process executes main
from the first instruction. The parent
listens for connections and per connection:
Spawns a new process to handle the connection.
Resumes listening for other connections.
The following is the critical code segment:
pid_t pid = fork(); /* spawn child */
if (0 == pid) { /* child */
close(sock); /* close inherited listening socket */
/* handle request and terminate */
else /* parent */
close(client); /* close client, resume listening */
The parent executes the call to fork. If the call succeeds, fork returns a non-negative integer: 0 to the forked child process and the child's process identifier to the parent. The child inherits the parent's open socket descriptors, which explains the if-else construct:
if clause: the child closes its copy of the listening socket because accepting clients is the parent's job. The child handles the client's request and then terminates with a call to exit.
else clause: the parent closes the client socket because a forked child handles the client. The parent resumes listening for connections.
Creating and destroying processes are expensive. Modules, such as FastCGI, remedy this inefficiency through pre-forking. At startup, FastCGI creates a pool of reusable client-handling processes.
An inefficiency remains, however. When one process preempts another, a context switch occurs with the resultant system working to ensure that the switched-in and switched-out process behaves properly. The kernel maintains per-process context information so that a preempted process can restart. The context's three main structures are:
The page table: maps virtual addresses to physical ones.
The process table: stores vital information.
The file table: tracks the process' open files.
The CPU cycles that the system spends on context switches cannot be spent on applications such as Web servers. Although measuring the latency of a context switch is nontrivial, 5ms–10ms per switch is a ballpark and even optimistic range. Pre-forking mitigates the inefficiency of process creation and destruction but does not eliminate context switching.
What good is multiprocessing? The process structure frees the programmer
from synchronizing concurrent access to shared memory locations. Imagine,
for example, a Web application that lets a user play a simple word
game. The application displays scrambled letters, such as
, and
a player tries to unscramble the letters to form a word—in this case
. This is a single-player game, and the application must track
the game's state: the string to be unscrambled, the player's movement of
letters one at a time and on so. Suppose that there is a global variable:
typedef struct {
/* variables to track game's state */
} WordGame;
WordGame game; /* single, global instance */
so that the application has, in the source code, exactly one WordGame instance visible across the application's functions (for example, move_letter, submit_guess). Concurrent players need separate WordGames, so that one player cannot interfere with another's game.
Now, consider two child processes C1 and C2, each handling a player. Under Linux, a forked child inherits its parent's address space; hence, C1 and C2 begin with the same address space as each other and their parent. If none of the three processes thereafter executes a write operation, no harm results. The need for separate address spaces first arises with write operations. Linux thus enforces a copy-on-write (COW) policy with respect to memory pages. If C1 or C2 performs a write operation on an inherited page, this child gets its own copy of the page, and the child's page table is updated. In effect, therefore, the parent and the forked children have separate address spaces, and each client effectively has its own copy of the writable WordGame.
Martin Kalin is a professor at the College of Computing and Digital Media at DePaul University, Chicago, Illinois. He earned his PhD at Northwestern University. Martin has co-authored various books on C and C++, authored a book on Java and, most recent
Twisted and Node.js have developed the "polling" approach and real life examples always outperform.
Programming is different but complexity now dealt with by libraries such as gevent.
I can't imagine when a process driven server would be preferred unless there was no chance of requiring scale or performance.
The primary function of a web server is to deliver web pages on the request to clients using the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). This means delivery of HTML documents and any additional content that may be included by a document, such as images, style sheets and scripts.
A user agent, commonly a web browser or web crawler, initiates communication by making a request for a specific resource using HTTP and the server responds with the content of that resource or an error message if unable to do so. The resource is typically a real file on the server's secondary memory, but this is not necessarily the case and depends on how the web server is implemented.
Aménagement Sur Mesure
context switch takes 5ms
Your claim that a context switch takes 5 to 10ms (on the optimistic size), can you please enlighten us on the details of your computer.
Though it is one of those things difficult to quantify in all circumstances, it can take anywhere from few hundred nano seconds to few thousand micro seconds in general.
Great information,hope it

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Intestinal ischemia and infarction is damage to (ischemia) or death of (infarction) part of the intestine. It is due to a decrease in the blood supply to the area.
Intestinal necrosis; Ischemic bowel; Dead bowel; Dead gut
There are several possible causes of intestinal ischemia and infarction.
The main symptoms of intestinal ischemia is abdominal pain. Other symptoms include:
Laboratory tests may show a high white blood cell (WBC) count (a marker of infection) and increased acid in the bloodstream. There may be bleeding in the GI tract.
Other tests include:
These tests do not always diagnose the problem. Sometimes, the only sure way to diagnose intestinal ischemia is with a surgical procedure.
In most cases, the condition needs to be treated with surgery. The section of intestine that has died is removed, and the healthy remaining ends of the bowel are reconnected.
In some cases, a colostomy or ileostomy is needed. The blockage of arteries to the intestine is corrected, if possible.
Intestinal ischemia is a serious condition that can result in death if not treated promptly. The outlook depends on the cause. Prompt treatment can lead to a good outcome.
Intestinal infarction may require a colostomy or ileostomy, which may be short-term or permanent. Peritonitis is common in these cases. People who have a large amount of tissue death in the intestine can have problems absorbing nutrients. They can become dependent on intravenous nutrition.
Some people may become severely ill with fever and a bloodstream infection (sepsis ).
Call your health care provider if you have any severe abdominal pain.

If you are going to hand quilt you need to use a lighter batting or your wrists will hate you.
Once your quilting is finished you are ready to bind the quilt.
First step is to trim your excess batting. I personally like to trim right to the quilt's edge. Using a long quilter's ruler and your rotary blade will give you the best results.
To finish this 42" x 42" baby quilt you will need 168" of continuous binding. (In this post I'm going to show you the easiest way to accomplish that first - using straight-cut binding. We'll discuss bias-cut binding in a little bit. )
If you need more binding fabric for a bigger quilt, find the perimeter measurement (outside measurement in linear inches) for your quilt and divide that number by 42. (42" being the width of the fabric you are cutting from.) That is the number of strips you will need. If the answer is 7.6833 - you will need 8 strips. So you need 8 strips at 2.5" wide, so you need a total of 20" (just over half a yard.) Does that make sense?
Fabric requirements for this baby quilt is 10" (just over a 1/4 of a yard.) If your quilt store is nice, you could ask if they'll cut you 10". If not, ask for 3/8 yard.
You need to cut FOUR 2 1/2" strips along the width of the fabric. (To cut strips from the end of a piece of yardage, make sure that you line up the fold of the fabric along a straight line or edge of the mat. This way when you cut your 2 1/2" strips, they will be straight- not v-shaped.)
You should have a little triangle flap between two 45 degree-angled pins. This is called "mitering your corners." Pretty nifty, huh? This is going to be a snap to sew and will look so fancy when you're done!
When the strip gets back around to the beginning fold the ends down so that the strips meet-up. Press with your iron to make a crease at both folds.
Press that final seam open, fold in half like the rest of the binding and pin raw edges to the raw edge of the quilt. Now you're ready to sew the binding to the quilt.
Starting in the middle of one of the sides, sew the binding to the quilt using the edge of your presser foot (1/4" seam allowance) as your guide.
I would highly recommend a walking foot at this point as it will make your edge a little nicer, but if this is your first quilt or you don't plan on making a lot of them, a walking foot can be a pricey investment. Your regular foot will work well-enough.
When you get to the corner sew right up to the first corner pin. This should be about 1/4" away from the edge of the quilt. Lift the foot and needle and turn the quilt. You don't need to break the thread. *Important* Now, flip the little triangle flap so it lies the other direction. (See photo)
Begin sewing the next side at the very edge and continue with the 1/4" seam allowance. (I know, some of you are panicking that I left my pins in. I just do that and seem to not break too many needles.)
When you have finished sewing all four sides, fold the folded edge of the binding over to the back of the quilt and pin it down, using those same pins. (You could also use those metal clips that look like hair clips if you don't like the idea of hauling something around that could potentially impale you.)
(For this part of the demonstration I used white thread so you could see what's happening. When I bound the quilt for real, I used brown thread to hide my stitches.)
Tie a knot at one end of your thread and pull through the backing fabric, under your folded-down binding, then bring the needle through the very bottom edge of the bias strip and tack it down on the backing fabric, right underneath where the needle came through. Then slide the needle through the backing fabric, behind the binding strip bringing the needle out the bottom edge again. This creates a blind stitch. Repeat!
Now lets talk about bias binding.
Bias binding is made from 2 1/2" strips cut on a 45 degree angle. There are lots of tutorials for cutting bias binding like here and here.
Technically, bias binding is a more durable binding because the grain of the fabric is running diagonally in stead of parallel to the edge of the quilt. (Don't worry if it doesn't make sense, just trust me on this one.) It also has more stretch - good for scalloped or rounded borders. (But for this reason, a bias binding does much better with a walking foot.)
It also looks nice with strips and checks.
Once the bias strip is pieced, use the same method as above to sew the binding to the quilt.
And there you go.
And voila! Here is the finished Charm-square baby quilt!
Hopefully it was not too painful, and more hopefully it was a lot of fun and you can feel really proud of yourself!

A Life in Brief
When Abraham Lincoln was elected President in 1860, seven slave states left the Union to form the Confederate States of America, and four more joined when hostilities began between the North and South. A bloody civil war then engulfed the nation as Lincoln vowed to preserve the Union, enforce the laws of the United States, and end the secession. The war lasted for more than four years with a staggering loss of more than 600,000 Americans dead. Midway through the war, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves within the Confederacy and changed the war from a battle to preserve the Union into a battle for freedom. He was the first Republican President, and Union victory ended forever the claim that state sovereignty superseded federal authority. Killed by an assassin's bullet less than a week after the surrender of Confederate forces, Lincoln left the nation a more perfect Union and thereby earned the admiration of most Americans as the country's greatest President.
Born dirt-poor in a log cabin in Kentucky in 1809, Lincoln grew up in frontier Kentucky and Indiana, where he was largely self-educated, with a taste for jokes, hard work, and books. He served for a time as a soldier in the Black Hawk War, taught himself law, and held a seat in the Illinois state legislature as a Whig politician in the 1830s and 1840s. From state politics, he moved to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1847, where he voiced his opposition to the U.S. war with Mexico. In the mid-1850s, Lincoln left the Whig Party to join the new Republican Party. In 1858, he went up against one of the most popular politicians in the nation, Senator Stephen Douglas, in a contest for the U.S. Senate. Lincoln lost that election, but his spectacular performance against Douglas in a series of nationally covered debates made him a contender for the 1860 Republican presidential nomination.
Fighting for Unity and Freedom
In the 1860 campaign for President, Lincoln firmly expressed his opposition to slavery and his determination to limit the expansion of slavery westward into the new territories acquired from Mexico in 1850. His election victory created a crisis for the nation, as many southern Democrats feared that it would just be a matter of time before Lincoln would move to kill slavery in the South. Rather than face a future in which black people might become free citizens, much of the white South supported secession. This reasoning was based upon the doctrine of states' rights, which placed ultimate sovereignty with the states.
Lincoln vowed to preserve the Union even if it meant war. He eventually raised an army and navy of nearly 3 million northern men to face a southern army of over 2 million soldiers. In battles fought from Virginia to California (but mainly in Virginia, in the Mississippi River Valley, and along the border states) a great civil war tore the United States apart. In pursuing victory, Lincoln assumed extralegal powers over the press, declared martial law in areas where no military action justified it, quelled draft riots with armed soldiers, and drafted soldiers to fight for the Union cause. No President in history had ever exerted so much executive authority, but he did so not for personal power but in order to preserve the Union. In 1864, as an example of his limited personal ambitions, Lincoln refused to call off national elections, preferring to hold the election even if he lost the vote rather than destroy the democratic basis upon which he rested his authority. With the electoral support of Union soldiers, many of whom were given short leaves to return home to vote, and thanks to the spectacular victory of Union troops in General Sherman's capture of Atlanta, Lincoln was decisively reelected.
What started as a war to preserve the Union and vindicate democracy became a battle for freedom and a war to end slavery when Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in January of 1863. Although the Proclamation did not free all slaves in the nation -- indeed, no slaves outside of the Confederacy were affected by the Proclamation -- it was an important symbolic gesture that identified the Union with freedom and the death of slavery. As part of the Proclamation, Lincoln also urged black males to join the Union forces as soldiers and sailors. By the end of the war, nearly two hundred thousand African Americans had fought for the Union cause, and Lincoln referred to them as indispensable in ensuring Union victory.
Personal Tragedies and Triumphs
While the war raged, Lincoln also suffered great personal anguish over the death of his beloved son and the depressed mental condition of his wife, Mary. The pain of war and personal loss affected him deeply, and he often expressed his anguish by turning to humor and by speaking eloquently about the meaning of the great war which raged across the land. His Gettysburg Address, delivered after the Battle of Gettysburg, as well as his second inaugural in 1865, are acknowledged to be among the great orations in American history.
Almost all historians judge Lincoln as the greatest President in American history because of the way he exercised leadership during the war and because of the impact of that leadership on the moral and political character of the nation. He conceived of his presidential role as unique under the Constitution in times of crisis. Lincoln was convinced that within the branches of government, the presidency alone was empowered not only to uphold the Constitution, but also to preserve, protect, and defend it. In the end, however, Lincoln is measured by his most lasting accomplishments: the preservation of the Union, the vindication of democracy, and the death of slavery -- accomplishments achieved by acting "with malice towards none" in the pursuit of a more perfect and equal union.

I took light as the inspiration to interpret the 'hope' theme into a product. The light ray simplified into geometric shapes of blocks with different lengths and widths. The blocks, which made from stuffed checked fabric, are placed closely each other, so we can store some small stuff between the spaces. The blocks are attached to a metal base behind them using magnetic buttons for easier disassembling.
Later, the pattern of the checked fabric will adapt to the blocks form to emphasize the geometric shapes. The pattern on each block which is seen connected each other shows a special craftsmanship.
This product functions either as a wall decoration or a 'shelf'. Some smaller size also can be made for table accessories. This product celebrates both the function and the beauty of checked-pattern fabric.

4 Great little braceletkillagigi | 25/01/2013 | See all killagigi's reviews (8)The bracelet in the picture features all disco balls, with two little magnetic balls on the tie strings............however the one sent to me, has nine disco balls and two magnets. along with the two little magnetic balls on the tie strings . Actually I liked it even more like that, as this is more like the expensive ones so I was thrilled!............the only down side was that the bracelet had a strong odour (sort of like damp) hopefully this will fade away soon. all in all if you fancy a nice little economic bracelet that looks really stylish this is a great bargain!

TMP. Russell prepare for state

By AUSTIN COLBERT
Thomas More Prep-Marian sophomore Hannah Michaud spent most of her 16th birthday in Syracuse at the state regional golf tournament last week. Whatever gifts awaited her back home couldn't compare to the present she gave herself that day.
"There was always this thought in my mind: How great would that be to be able to go to state on my birthday? I guess all the cards were in the right place," Hannah Michaud said. "I'm still kind of in shock. It's slowly sinking in that I'm actually going on Monday."
Hannah will join her sister, senior Monica Michaud, at the Class 3-2-1A state girls golf tournament today. The tournament is held at The Golf Club at Southwind in Garden City and is hosted by Lakin High School.
"I'm really happy that she is coming with me," Monica Michaud said. "I would have loved to have the rest of the team there, too. But to have my sister as the one to come with me makes me really proud."
Monica Michaud is heading to state for the third time in three years as a competitive golfer. She did not play golf her freshman year. In fact, she had never even touched a golf club before she started playing as a sophomore. To go from where she was then to where she is now has been a surprising journey for the senior.
"I don't even think I knew what golf was my freshman year," Monica Michaud said. "I think I'm much more consistent and enjoy the game more and find it less frustrating when I don't do things right."
As a junior, Monica Michaud shot a 116 to finish 47th at state. While her experience playing should benefit her again this year, it was Hannah Michaud's experience walking behind her older sister at state that could be even more invaluable.
"She is obviously really good, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to state for three years in a row," Hannah Michaud said. "Following her around gave me the chance to see how well people play and the caliber people play at."
Much like her sister, Hannah Michaud only took up the game recently. She had never played golf before her sister dragged her into it last year.
Of all the things that got her hooked, it was seeing Monica's instant success on the course and Hannah's natural competitiveness took over.
"Two years ago I definitely couldn't see myself as a golfer," Hannah Michaud said. "But following her around and everything got me thinking that maybe this is fun. She was the one that taught me how to golf, so that was really great."
The girls are great friends both on and off the course. They often compete with each other while waiting for a ride home, testing each other on the green or driving range.
As similar as they are, both have very different approaches on the course. Monica keeps her emotions in check most of the time and fights an inward battle, while Hannah likes to be the aggressor.
"(Monica) doesn't have killer instincts. She plays for herself, because she competes against herself," TMP golf coach Judy Mitchell said. "Where Hannah, she's a competitor. She is out for blood most of the time."
And it's Hannah Michaud's competiveness that has her in today's state golf tournament as only a sophomore.
Despite the limited time she has been swinging a club, Hannah Michaud has quickly become a major player for TMP.
For her to make it to state is not surprising to her older sister.
"I kind of expected it. She had a rough year last year trying to get the hang of things," Monica Michaud said. "I know coming into the season she was absolutely determined that she was going to go this year. She's got a lot of drive."
Russell golf moves up to Class 4A
Russell High School senior Alex Ptacek shot a 104 to finish in 19th at the Class 3-2-1A state girls golf tournament last year. But with Russell's move to Class 4A this year, she knows finishing as high will be even more of a challenge.
"I'm not saying that it was any easier (playing in Class 3A), but the scores have a tendency to be a little bit higher," Ptacek said of Class 4A. "We were looking at the 4A state golf scores from last year and it's going to be pretty difficult to walk away a champion from the 4A state. But I know I can probably, if I play well, do OK."
Ptacek and sophomore Megan Boxberger will represent Russell at today's Class 4A golf tournament, held at the Crestwood Country Club in Pittsburg.
Despite her youth, Boxberger comes with plenty of experience as well, having finished fifth as a freshman in Class 3-2-1A last season after shooting a 97 at the state tournament in Cheney.
"I was definitely nervous. I didn't really know what to expect or how many players were going to be there," Boxberger said. "I feel more confident this year in what I'm supposed to do and what to expect."
Ptacek will be competing in her third state tournament today, and the girls combined experience should give them a distinct advantage on the competition.
"The nervousness shouldn't be quite as high," Russell golf coach Brad Banker said. "I don't want to place pressure on them with high expectations, but I would think they are both very competitive and have a good chance at medaling in the top 20."

Would wireless PZM-30D and PZM-185 mics work to record a conference? |
We have several PZM-30D and PZM-185 mics, and are using them to record conferences. We are considering going wireless because the weight of the cables is becoming a problem as we are expanding. We travel with the equipment all over the world and weight is an issue. Would wireless work for these mics and is the wireless system less than a pound per microphone
Suzy Reply: A wireless system (one transmitter and one receiver per microphone) weighs at least one pound, so that would not provide a weight advantage. Here's a suggestion. Use thin mic cables (about 1/8" diameter) which weigh much less than thick ones. Run all the mic cables from a conference to an automatic gated mixer (such as the Shure SCM810) under the table. Then run a single mic cable from that mixer to your recorder. Or, you could even feed the output of the mixer to a single transmitter, and pick up its signal with a single receiver that is plugged into your recorder. You might want to use an infrared transmitter/receiver instead of the usual radio transmitter/receiver. Infrared waves stay inside the conference room (aiding security), but radio waves don't. The Nady IRW-215 is an example of an infrared transmitter/receiver. |

who s this one?anyone know his name?
Takeaway: guys have always been hot. I still wish someone would raise Montgomery Clift from the dead so I could seduce him *sigh*
Ah, yes. Back before us Americans got so overweight.
#7 please, and hurry.
@bhar48069: I estimate he's in his mid-20s in this picture, so we'll be conservative and say 20. Probably shot in the 50s-60s, and playing it safe (and for ease of math), let's say 1964. That makes him 70-ish. Don't be so impatient, he's hurrying as fast as possible.
Cuteness deluxe. Makes me nostalgic for a time I never lived through.
With two modest exceptions, totally inkless and yet still sexy. So it is possible, huh?
HOT photos! No ink, no 'roids, natural hair, pure sexiness. #7 looks like Russell Tovey.
Love the onezies…
No hideous tattoos mean they've already got a leg up on Beckham.

Bladder cancer is a cancer that starts in the bladder. The bladder is the body part that holds and releases urine. It is in the center of the lower abdomen.
Transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder; Urothelial cancer
In the United States, bladder cancer usually starts from the cells lining the bladder. These cells are called transitional cells.
These tumors are classified by the way they grow:
The exact cause of bladder cancer is not known. But several things may make you more likely to develop it:
Research has not shown clear evidence that using artificial sweeteners leads to bladder cancer.
Symptoms of bladder cancer can include:
Other diseases and conditions can cause similar symptoms. It is important to see a doctor to rule out all other possible causes.
The health care provider will perform a physical examination , including a rectal and pelvic exam.
Tests that may be done include:
If tests confirm you have bladder cancer, additional tests will be done to see if the cancer has spread. This is called staging. Staging helps guide future treatment and follow-up and gives you some idea of what to expect in the future.
The TNM (tumor, nodes, metastatis) staging system is used to stage bladder cancer:
Tumors are also grouped based on how they appear under a microscope. This is called grading the tumor. A high-grade tumor is fast growing and more likely to spread. Bladder cancer can spread into nearby areas, including the:
Treatment depends on the stage of the cancer, the severity of your symptoms, and your overall health.
Stage 0 and I treatments:
Stage II and III treatments:
Most patients with stage IV tumors cannot be cured and surgery is not appropriate. In these patients, chemotherapy is often considered.
Chemotherapy may be given to patients with stage II and III disease either before or after surgery to help prevent the tumor from returning.
For early disease (stages 0 and I), chemotherapy is usually given directly into the bladder.
A Foley catheter can be used to deliver the medication into the bladder. Common side effects include bladder wall irritation and pain when urinating. For more advanced stages (II-IV), chemotherapy is usually given by vein (intravenously).
Bladder cancers are often treated with immunotherapy. In this treatment, a medication triggers your immune system to attack and kill the cancer cells. Immunotherapy for bladder cancer is usually performed using the Bacille Calmette-Guerin vaccine (commonly known as BCG). A medicine called interferon is sometimes used. It is given through a Foley catheter directly into the bladder. If BCG does not work, patients may receive interferon.
As with all treatments, side effects are possible. Ask your doctor what side effects you might expect, and what to do if they occur.
Surgery for bladder cancer includes:
Surgery may also be done to help your body drain urine after the bladder is removed. This may include:
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group . Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
After treatment for bladder cancer, you will be closely monitored by a doctor. This may include:
How well a patient with bladder cancer does depends on the initial stage and response to treatment of the bladder cancer.
The outlook for stage 0 or I cancers is fairly good. Although the risk of the cancer returning is high, most bladder cancers that return can be surgically removed and cured.
The cure rates for people with stage III tumors are less than 50%. Patients with stage IV bladder cancer are rarely cured.
Bladder cancers may spread into the nearby organs. They may also travel through the pelvic lymph nodes and spread to the liver, lungs, and bones. Additional complications of bladder cancer include:
Call your health care provider if you have blood in your urine or other symptoms of bladder cancer, including:
If you smoke, quit. Smoking can increase your risk of bladder cancer. Avoid exposure to chemicals linked to bladder cancer.
