I' am trying to read electronic passsports but I dont have any answer from 6131 NFC. Maybe 6131 cant power the chip of the passport. Have anyone tryed?
I' am trying to read electronic passsports but I dont have any answer from 6131 NFC. Maybe 6131 cant power the chip of the passport. Have anyone tryed?
Hi matrix73,
maybe you could provide more information about how you are trying to read the passport. Are you reading it with the tag-detection mode of the mobile or from within the midlet. Do the passports operate in the 13.56 MHz frequency?
Greetz DJ
It could also be that your passport complies to the ISO14443 type B standard with which the hardware in the Nokia 6131 is not compliant.
You are wrong, Nokia 6131 nfc can read 14443-b RFID. You can try by TergetDetector.jar .
Electronic Passports are compliant with ICAO 9303 so the radio protocol is 14443. Please, anybody has tryed to read your own passport? I can read it by ACG reader oem module using 14443 communication. It would be very interesting develope an application reading electronic passport.
according to my information the Nokia 6131 contains a NXP PN511 or PN531 which is only capable of detecting ISO14443A/Mifare or Felica. Where did you get this information, did you test or did you you read the technical specs which only says something about ISO 14443? Or do you have one with the inside chip? And where can I find the TargetDetector.jar?
http://www.nxp.com/acrobat_download/...s_linecard.pdf with no ISO 14443B support
In that case it does not support ISO14443-4 and is not an NFC-enabled device
Now I am sure that my passport use a 14443-A rfid. I think is a question of power, I note using oscilloscope that the amplittude of the field of the nokia 6131 is much smaller than ACG reader.....I am sad.
Hi djdirkj,
using the program targetDetector.jar (provided by a friend) my nokia 6131 can read a 14443-B rfid, I am sure of this because I can read it by another reader if only it is in 14443-B mode.

Does anybody know where I can find TargetDetector.jar ?
This still bugs me...
In the specs it clearly says that ISO-14443B is not supported in neither target mode nor emulation mode by the transceiver.
NFC Forum requires that an NFC Forum device must be able to read all NFC Forum tags - And NFC Forum tag type 4 is either ISO-14443A (fine) OR ISO-14443B(Not supported!).

Ralph Malbrough / Contributing Writer
Do you need a running game to win a Super Bowl in 2013? With the Saints starting 4-0 and having a top 10 defense, the offensive line is really the only question mark after a month of football.
Everyone knows Drew Brees is getting hit entirely too much and anything which puts #9's health in danger is not only critical to the Saints winning but the collective sanity of the city of New Orleans.
The pass protection was better against Miami, but Brees is getting sacked at twice the rate he was during the first seven years as a Saint. I'm not even going to type all the bad things that happen when quarterbacks get hit repeatedly, but if you want specifics just google Jake Locker.
Brees can't continue to get pounded on like he did in Tampa. If you want to argue with me it's okay for Brees to continue to get hit like he has, you probably think it's okay for toddlers to play in traffic. Agreed? Good.
So let's for the sake of this discussion count on the Saints offensive line to get better in pass protection. What if the running game stays about the same? Are the Saints in trouble?
In 2011, the New York Giants ranked 32nd in rushing yards per game and in 2010 the Green Bay Packers ranked 24th. They both won the Super Bowl.
I'm a big believer that after you see a team for a month, you pretty much know what they will be. Last year the Saints started 0-4, and it was clear the offense was still a top 10 unit but the defense was a burning building.
The 2013 Saints have a really young defense that can get serious pressure on quarterbacks without rushing more than four guys and they have an offense that possesses an elite quarterback, the best tight end in football, and the best pass catching running back in the game.
History tells us two of the last three years a running game isn't needed to hoist the Lombardi.
Rob Ryan's Big Chart of Fun: All year long I'll be charting how the Saints defense does under Rob Ryan in certain situations. For a full explanation of how it works read this.
You've probably read 345 times how the Saints haven't allowed 20 points yet and that's awesome. You know what's even more awesome? The Saints have been so good on 1st and 2nd down that teams have yet to have a game where they have more than 9 downs of 2nd and 3rd and less than four yards. It's basically the dream scenario for Rob Ryan; he can get pressure with only four guys and is constantly calling defenses for third and long.
The man and this city are going to have a lot of fun Sunday nights. My friend Suzy, who sits in our section at Saints games, was really excited because she got her picture taken with Rob Ryan at Hotel Monteleone. Rob Ryan really is the perfect defensive coordinator for an insane fan base like us. I feel like Rob should have his own food show exploring New Orleans. You'd totally watch that.
The games:
Last Week: 3-2
Season: 13-7
New Orleans (Pick) at Chicago: Chicago is pretty much a house of horrors for Drew Brees and Sean Payton. The Saints haven't won in Soldier Field since 2000. Aaron Brooks won a game in Champaign in 2002, so let's just say it's been a while.
I hate the Bears so much. I'm not over 2006, I'm not over the sign celebrating Katrina, and I'm not over them giving us Mike Ditka. I'll never get over Ditka.
If the Saints can keep Drew Brees upright and not turn the ball over to the ball hawking Chicago defense .they'll be fine because the Bears defense isn't very good if they aren't creating turnovers. Isn't America due to see Jay Cutler pout, scream at an offensive lineman, and throw three terrible interceptions? I say yes.
Saints 34-24
Atlanta (-10) vs. New York Jets: You do not operate heavy machinery or drive after taking medication and under no circumstances. Do you pick Geno Smith to win a road game?
Falcons 30-14
Carolina (-2) at Arizona: The Panthers might be the second best team in the NFC South by Thanksgiving or Mike Shula might coach them on Halloween. I'm open to either possibility.
Panthers 23-20
Jacksonville (-11.5) at St. Louis: I can't think of a way the Jaguars will win a game but after watching Sam Bradford last Thursday I wouldn't pick the Rams to beat a blocking sled by double digits.
Rams 3-2
Mississippi State (+9.5) vs. LSU: If LSU loses in Starkville some Tiger fans will want Les Miles run out of town. The LSU defense is 2012 New Orleans Saints bad, which means if Zach Mettenberger doesn't at least play at a B+ level a loss is possible.
I will admit I'm not emotionally equipped to watch a Les Miles coached team play in 44-41 games. Offensive shootouts require precision, clock management, and a calm sideline. Les Miles coached teams have none of those things and yet I'm really excited to watch LSU get 450 yards and score 40 every week. What's wrong with me?

I know there are quite a few fans on this board happy to see "The Office" returned last night with the dinner party from hell. They reaffirmed my long running theory that the more a couple call each other "babe" the less they really like each other.
via www.nbc.com
For just $10,000, you can be an investor in "Serenity by Jan."
I think we've all been in a relationship where we forced to sleep on a cot. Where we couldn't put up our St. Paulie Girl neon sign. Where we work a second job to support our girl's Porsche. Who hasn't been there? But we make those compromises for love.
Any thoughts on the first episode back? Any dinner party horror stories?

N.J. State Police hit "eject" on VHS

Tech-savvy consumers have been watching movies on DVD and recording their favorite shows with TiVo for years.
But the State Police have yet to make the jump to digital. New Jersey's largest law enforcement agency still records its motor vehicle stops using VHS cameras, filling more than 165,000 tapes that have clogged storage facilities over the last decade.

Junior Maggie Sherman tied a career high with nine saves in a 1-0 loss at UNLV.
Oct. 13, 2013
By Craig Buchanan
Athletic Media Relations
LAS VEGAS, Nev. - In a hard-fought match on the road against the UNLV Rebels (7-6-2, 2-3-0 MW), the Colorado State Rams (2-9-2, 1-5-0 MW) were defeated 1-0.
Colorado State was seeking its second win of the week, and looked to defend in the early stages of the match.
While the Rebels applied pressure at the beginning of the match and looked to score an early goal, the Rams stayed composed on defense. Colorado State contained the UNLV attackers and limited the Rebels to very few scoring opportunities.
In the first half, UNLV registered 11 shots and four on goal, but none of them tested junior goalkeeper Maggie Sherman too much. The Rams, by comparison, had three shots and one shot on goal in the first half as the two teams went into halftime tied at 0-0.
The second half began much like the first half had started; the Rebels attacked, while the Rams defended vigorously.
In the 70th minute however, UNLV finally broke through and capitalized on a scoring chance. Freshman forward Dakota Blazak scored her first career goal when she found the back of the net on a play that was set up on a corner kick.
For the match, Sherman tied a career high with nine saves.
Colorado State returns home for a pair of conference matches next week. The Rams will host Utah State on Friday, and will take on Boise State on Sunday. The Utah State match is slated to begin at 3 p.m. MT.

Although it's still November, James Ritter, a single father from Webb City, is already thinking about Christmas presents for his three kids.
"The girls are mainly asking for bikes, a new bike, my son Jonathan, it doesn't really matter for him - he's happy if he gets a book with the presidents on them," says Ritter.
This year Ritter signed up for the Salvation Army's Christmas Assistance Program, a partner of the KOAM Toybox campaign.
"The whole purpose of the program is to really give us an opportunity to reach out to the community at a time when it's really hard, it's hard for families to really get that extra money for a few presents under the tree and we want to give them that opportunity to feel like they can still have a great Christmas with food and presents and things to take care of their family," says Lt. Jamie Currie of the Salvation Army in Joplin.
About 800 families applied for the holiday assistance so far this year in Jasper County and every one of those children will be receiving a toy. Last year about 19,000 toys were donated to the Salvation Army in Joplin.
"We serve everywhere in the Joplin area and in Jasper County area and any of our areas for social service is who we help for the Christmas Assistance Program," says Lt. Currie.
Lt. Currie says that almost 200 more families applied last year but the need to help families like the Ritter's never declines, and that giving to those that truly appreciate it is what the holiday season is all about.
"Whatever you get just be thankful you got, that's what I try to teach my kids," says Ritter.
It is too late to apply for holiday assistance, however, if you want to help the Salvation Army and KOAM are also taking toy and cash donations. To learn more visit koamtv.com/toybox

The delicacies on offer might not be to everyone's taste, but that didn't stop thousands of visitors attending a food festival in Yulin, eastern China.
For the town is recognised throughout the region for producing some of the most flavoursome dog meat in the world.
More than 15,000 dogs were slaughtered to feed connoisseurs of canine flesh at the week-long festival, which kicked off at the weekend.
Farmers in the region are highly respected for raising different breeds of dog specifically for the table.
Local Lu Hin explained: 'It is just like other meat. Smaller animals tend to be more delicate and sweeter while very big dogs have a strong, muscular taste.
'Dog is popular as a dish in China but we are the home of it. We proved that when we started the festival a few years ago and everybody accepts that the best dog meat dishes come from Yulin.
'That was why we created the festival and the number of visitors we get is a testimony to the fact that everybody recognises how good the dog meat is from the region.'
Dog flesh – or 'fragrant meat' as it is known in the region – has been a popular food source in China for thousands of years and is believed to provide medicinal benefits.
However, the industry has come under fire in recent years over concerns about cruelty. Authorities are now proposing to draw up legislation banning the consumption of dog meet.
During the 2008 Olympic games, dog meat was taken off the menus of official Olympic restaurants in order to avoid offending foreign visitors.
GOKIL !!! demi seni .. cewek ini RELA B U G I L ….
Miru Kim, a former medical student from New York, goes to strange places such abandoned factories, tunnels, bridges and photographs the structures with her in the picture nude.
The 30-year-old said her work has been a way of conquering her fears.
Scroll down for video
She said: 'My work in general involves getting over my fears that are deeply embedded since childhood: Fear of darkness, fear of dangerous activities in general, and fear of dirt – I had a considerable obsessive compulsive disorder as a child.
'It's beyond therapeutic. I do this through art, because I identify with countless other people who go through the emotions of overcoming fears.'
'I have always been timid since childhood. Most people may think I'm joking considering my work, but it's true.
'When I spoke at a technology, entertainment and design conference in 2008 I had to cross my leg and my arms because they were shaking so much.'
Miss Kim started taking her clothes off in 2004.
'Now I'm used to it, but when I first tried to be nude in front of camera in 2004 I was very nervous,' she said.
'I remember, in order to get used to being nude for my project's sake, I modelled for a nude portrait for a painter in Berlin, who was my studio mate at the time, and I got so nervous I couldn't stand still.
She told AOL Weird News: 'As I got used to being naked in urban ruins, I felt these spaces transform from dangerous to peaceful, from stranger to familiar.'
Miss Kim has put herself into what some people who regardv as dangerous situations.
In the process of getting a good nude shot, she's found a dead body, run in to a schizophrenic homeless man, ran away from security guards in subway tunnels and dodged a helicopter while standing nude on the Manhattan Bridge in New York.
She also risked arrest by stripping in Istanbul, Turkey.
Miss Kim said: 'I was with a Turkish fashion photographer shooting at an abandoned train depot by the active train station. Angry guards came to us, but my friend was a very smooth talker and got us out of there.
'The guards apparently thought that he was shooting some kind of soft-core in public, which doesn't happen often in Muslim countries.'
'Another time I was in a poor residential area and a Turkish filmmaker friend was helping me in an abandoned house and we got seen by some residents nearby.
'He told one nosy old lady that he was from the military police and that she shouldn't question what we are doing.'
The woman later returned and shouted: 'What are you doing with a naked woman if you're from the military police? We're calling the police.'
Miss Kim packed up her stuff and ran.
She did a project entitled The Pig Therefore I Am which involved crawling around in a pig pen.
Miss Kim said: 'I got many bruises from bites. They were being very curious and gentle with me overall, probably because they didn't understand why I was naked with them.
'They probably thought, "She looks like us, but not quite!" But even the curious nibbles got me bad bruises.'
'The worst part was washing myself afterwards,' she said.
'These hogs are confined in such an unnatural setting that their manure becomes a concentrated toxic waste.
'Imagine 2,400 hogs in one barn pooping and peeing for six months without getting washed.
'I scrubbed myself red with white vinegar after the shoot and I tried everything from peroxide to toothpaste on my feet.'
Miss Kim's work has been acclaimed by serious art critics, but casual viewers may look at it in a different way.
That, however, doesn't bother Miss Kim.
'People have different interpretations of my work, and I like that flexibility and openness,' she said.
'The figures in the photos work as a direct sensory link between the space in the photograph and the audience, because everyone can relate to skin on a very basic human level, the sense of touch.'

Essex: No romance with Sam Faiers
10:33am Thursday 13th March 2014 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Joey Essex has denied reports he has rekindled his romance with Sam Faiers.
There had been speculation that the couple are dating again, following her diagnosis with Crohn's disease, after they were spotted together having a meal in an Essex restaurant.
"No, I'm not back with Sam," he said.
The 23-year-old, who previously starred in The Only Way Is Essex and took part in I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, admitted he would always have feelings for his ex.
"With me and Sam, I'll always care for her because she had a special place in my heart and stuff," he said.
"She's a bit ill at the moment, so I'm just there to support her really and just be there for her."
Joey, who is to release an Essex Anthems dance compilation album and is writing his biography, next stars in Educating Joey Essex, which will air on March 16 at 9pm on ITV2.

Smartwatch Patent For Google
This isn't the first smartwatch patent Google has submitted to the USPTO, but it does seem their most interesting.
The bezel, not just the screen seems to provide some sort of touch interaction, as does two touchpad areas on the wristband above and below the watch face itself.
Given the small screen size, that does seem like it could greatly enhance usability.
The touchpads on the wristband can also communicate with other devices in the 'data pipeline' - Phone or even Glass?

So here we are, looking ahead to the Apple Cup with a bowl berth - potentially a bowl as good as the Holiday Bowl - on the line for the Huskies. Before the season, we all figured this was a near-certain win. Now though, there are reasons to be concerned by this game:
- Cougs are improving: It was easy to think after the first few games of the season which included blowout losses to Oklahoma State and USC and the last second win over FCS team Montana State that this was another lost season of horrible results for the Cougs and Wulff was doomed to be fired. But rather than fold their tents and give up, they have indeed improved over the course of the season and even notched a road win at Oregon State. Players are improving and the results are improving. The Cougs have some skill talent in Tuel, Karstetter and Wilson, and some promising defensive players in Mizell and Buchanon.
Now, all that said, the Huskies are the more talented and accomplished team and should win the game. WSU's defense is improved, but they're still among the very worst defenses in the country in all categories - rush yardage allowed, pass efficiency defense, total yards allowed, points allowed. Even a beat up Locker and a questionable offensive line should be able to roll up points on the Cougs. Polk and Callier should be able to replicate their success against the Bruins, taking pressure off of Jake and setting up play-action passes. The Coug run game is awful (though they did well against OSU) putting most of the pressure on Tuel and their passing game. If Q can continue his strong recent play and Tru recovers his mojo, the Husky defense could have a 3rd straight good showing. Plus, the Huskies have a lot more motivation.
Still, this is far from a gimme. I'm sure the team knows it and will react accordingly (but hopefully not by playing too stiff), but I've seen too many Apple Cups where inferior Coug teams beat the Huskies and take away a Rose Bowl to be over-confident about this one (and to be fair, the Huskies have done the same to the Cougs).

The public health aspects of humanitarian aid in crisis interventions and natural disasters are emphasized.
The course programme includes a week-long simulation exercise and short presentations by guest lecturers on relevant topics. These presentations relate to hypothetical events occurring in a crisis in the border area between Alphaland and Betaland. Participants prepare a Dutch battalion for deployment; deal with epidemic outbreaks; plan services for refugees in famine conditions; and coordinate with the government of a prototypical developing country and with NGOs present at the site.
Teaching methods include simulation, group work, role playing, lectures, videos and reading assignments.
This course is organized by KIT and the Academisch Medisch Centrum (AMC), Department of Infectious Diseases. It is carried out twice a year on behalf of the Dutch Ministry of Defence. There is no open registration.

"...Despite the rainy weather, I walked a lot, reasoning that sitting in a metro carriage doesn't expose one to much of the city. The photographs are a result of this dedicated pedestrianism. Most famous attractions had substantial queues waiting to enter, so I passed by, preferring the changing scenes and my own footfalls to the prospect of hours standing listening to tourist chatter. The result is a flawed exterior vision, a superficial sighting of a dumb, grey Paris to which I would like to return."

Sen. Kelly Ayotte: Important Sandy relief bill uses crisis to go on spending spree
But even with our nation $16.4 trillion in debt, some in Washington still believe that a crisis isn't something that should go to waste. And as additional Sandy relief legislation was written, a few members of Congress decided to use an emergency disaster recovery bill to give a free ride to millions in non-emergency spending. It's precisely the kind of irresponsible spending practice that is bankrupting our country.
With thousands of homes destroyed and businesses in ruins, we should prioritize emergency aid for Sandy's victims to recover, rebuild and return to normal. In December, when Congress first attempted to pass a relief bill, I voted in favor of a $24 billion package that would expedite aid to those who need it most urgently. This legislation was written based on addressing immediate needs - and it didn't include millions in spending that was unrelated to helping individuals and communities recover from last fall's devastating storm.
Unfortunately, the bill I voted for was defeated. And the Senate voted instead this week - without my support - to put taxpayers on the hook for a separate $50.5 billion package, larded up with money for projects far away from storm-ravaged areas of New York and New Jersey. When all is said and done, the combined cost of this bill and the initial $9.7 billion in aid - plus interest - will have increased the public debt by $70 billion.
When writing disaster relief legislation, Congress must distinguish between immediate emergency response needs and non-emergency, longer-term priorities that should be considered within the constraints of the federal budget. As the nation once again bumps up against the debt ceiling, we're reminded of the need to make tough choices when determining federal spending priorities - decisions that should occur as part of the traditional process of writing a budget, which the Senate has failed to do for nearly four years.
Instead of writing straightforward legislation focused on helping Sandy victims get back on their feet, the bill that Congress approved goes far beyond the devastated areas. Using important disaster relief legislation to pass unrelated spending is exactly the kind of thing that has the American people so frustrated with Washington, and rightfully so.
For example, such "emergency" Sandy funding includes $2 million for roof repairs at the Smithsonian in Washington, $4 million for the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and $16 billion that can be used in 47 states for past and future events from 2011 through 2013.
There's $10 million to buy the FBI new vehicles when it already has plenty of vehicles to repurpose, and $50 million in unrequested funds for the National Park Service.
The bill also provides $1.7 billion in highway spending that is not restricted to Sandy-impacted states and may be used for the Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. This kind of spending should be carefully considered on the merits and paid for - not stuffed into emergency legislation to help Sandy disaster victims.
When total Sandy spending is added up, it's more than the annual budget for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. And it's more than twice the annual budget of the U.S. Energy Department.
It's important to understand that the legislation bypassed the committee process altogether, leaving no opportunity to carefully scrutinize spending it contained for 64 programs across 17 different agencies. While we should move quickly to deliver aid that is urgently needed, non-emergency funding should be carefully reviewed and prioritized by relevant congressional committees - not blindly passed as part of an important emergency relief bill.
Finally, if a main goal of the Sandy relief legislation that passed the Senate was to quickly get resources into the hands of those who need it most, the final product fell short. Under the measure that passed, only seven percent of funds - about $3.6 billion - would be spent over the next nine months. Seventy percent of the funding wouldn't be spent until 2015 and beyond.
Without question, we should help Hurricane Sandy victims with emergency relief legislation. But the days of using a crisis to pass bloated bills stuffed with non-emergency spending further burying us in debt must end.

MADISON, S.D. – Lorin Larsen is considered one of the best jumpers in Dakota State University track & field program history. Five of the school records he set still stand after 30 years.
Larsen was a graduate of Hurley High School where he was a four-year All-Conference selection in both football and basketball.
At Dakota State, he holds the school record in triple jump with a measurement of 48 feet and 1 inch set in 1983. He added to the school records with a 24 foot, 5 inch long jump, set in 1984. Larsen also ran a leg in the men's record setting 4 x 400-meter relay that set a school record of 3 minutes, 16.40 seconds. He also ran a leg in the 1600-meter relay at the NAIA Outdoor Track & Field National Championships.
Larsen added two indoor track school records from 1983 – 46 feet, 8.75 inches in the triple jump and 23 feet, 1 inch in the long jump.
Larsen was a four-time Most Valuable Athlete at the South Dakota Intercollegiate (SDIC) conference meet. He qualified for the Outdoor Track National Meet four times and the Indoor Track National Meet three times. He was selected as DSU's Team Captain in 1985.
After graduating from Dakota State University in 1985 with a degree in business, Larsen went to work at KJAM Radio where he worked for 26 years, last as the station manager. He was employed as an account executive for WNAX Radio in Yankton at the time of his death in October, 2012.
Larsen served on the DSU Alumni Association Board of Directors, and was the President at the time of his passing. He was also immediate past chairman of the South Dakota Broadcaster Association.
Larsen officiated high school football and basketball for 27 years, starting in 1985, including state championship games in 2001 and 2009. He also mentored young officials throughout the state.
He was posthumously recognized with the 25-year officiating award at halftime of the Class 9B State Football Championship game in 2012.
Larsen has three daughters – Kelsi, Kristin and Jordyn – and one son – Logan.

The New Hell
December 28, 2012 § 5 Comments
Horrible things happen in our country. Our history tells us this. Our current events reinforce the same. Finally, something terrible has hit me where I live, and it has a profound impact on those closest to me.
Opening my refrigerator this morning, I discovered this where my glorious, creamy, whole-milk goodness once resided. Those who are responsible will be brought to justice, so help me god.
Because Black's Law Dictionary Needs My Help
December 26, 2012 § 2 Comments
Prior to the internet, definitions in Black's Law Dictionary remained pretty constant. There were legalese terms. There were terms of art. There were terms based on good caselaw. There were concrete terms that have been used for centuries. For the most part, the writers only needed to focus on incremental changes from year-to-year.
Not now. Now, the internet created a host of new, super-awesome legal terms. I suspect Black's now employs 10x as many definers, and half wear sneakers to work.
Because I like to help, I've done some work for them. The following are submitted for both love and consideration. Some are new. Others are just updates. All are important.
(Updated Dec. 28 to include Paradigm Shift)
Experience (n), a term that only old, stupid lawyers think is important.
Usage: That old David Boies has experience, but since graduating law school last summer, I have pure awesomeness on my side. I'll kick that guy's ass in the courtroom.
Brand (n), your reputation, particularly online. Can be manipulated with lies, deceit, and general fuckery. Sometimes characterized by large groups of equally desperate people who believe that a "brand" will result in oodles of income.
Usage: Hey, Chuck, I could be working hard for this one pathetic client, but screw him, I gotta work on my brand.
Paradigm Shift (n), a term used by marketers and attention-seeking lawyers to cloak inane babble in the appearance of learned theory. Currently, two definitions compete for legal superiority and acceptance (similar to BluRay vs. HD DVD).
1. A blustery showing of false intellect. The term does, however, stun marketing conference attendees for approximately 20-30 seconds, giving the speaker a chance to re-compose themselves. Mostly spewed by those who do not understand what (or where to find) a paradigm nor how to detect a shift in the same. All fail to realize that zeitgeist is far more apropos for non-science disciplines.
2. A sexual position requiring 2 legal pads (8.5″ x 14″), a gavel, and 3 carefully-selected legal clerks. Robe and powdered barrister wig are optional, but often encouraged. Illegal in Canada.
Legal Evangelist (n), (This is actually my term based on my opinions. Use it as freely as you want). Similar to televangelists and tent-revival hucksters. An individual who tries to sell you on their amazing and awesome knowledge of law practice, but, really, they have as much or less experience than you do. Typically, their firsthand experience in creating a law practice is limited to their "consulting" business.
Note: Legal Evangelists are often noted for preaching the legal prosperity gospel, where anybody truly dedicated to awesomeness has millions awaiting them in the practice of law.
Usage: So, this legal evangelist offered me several different package deals. They're all so tempting, I don't know which one to choose. I just know they'll help me to be awesome.
(for more information about these plans, see the Philly Law Blog, image (screen capture) placed here for archive and informational purposes only)
Online Legal Marketer (n), someone who charges you for information you could find for yourself after a minute or two of Google searches.
Usage: My online legal marketer charged me how to use Twitter. Now, I can say stuff in 140 characters or less and publish it for the world by clicking this little button. What would I do without him?
Coaching (v), once a term to describe assisting someone to succeed in sports as a means of building resilience, teamwork, and mental toughness. It is now a verb used to describe the assisting of younger and/or desperate lawyers to achieve success by cutting corners, utilizing social media, and repeating meaningless mantras. Some will even purport to coach on financial success within mere months of personally declaring bankruptcy.
Usage: I was coached to feel that my law practice will always be awesome and to remember the valuable lessons learned from paying $10,000 to walk over hot coals. Good times.
Entry-Level Associate, Public Defender, Junior Prosecutor, Staff Attorney, Legal Aid Attorney, Clerk, JAG (n), attorney positions far below the level of awesomeness displayed by today's new lawyers.
Usage: I was thinking about applying for an entry-level associate position with a firm, but I'm too awesome for that.
As Featured In/On… (n), a title coveted by young lawyers seeking to show that CNN, Forbes, MSNBC, ABC, FOX News, all appreciate their awesomeness (see definition of awesome below). They are never "featured" there because of a hard-fought victory or scrappy representation. They are there because they availed themselves as a talking-head and media darling.
Usage: I was featured in the New Yorker for my piece about how a potted plant and motivational picture in your law office can increase legal productivity by 3%.
Virtual Law Office (n), name given to a business model that touts all positives and no negatives. Typically lauded as easy, turnkey, and game-changing. Usually rife with ethical problems, shady business practices, and lack of promised income.
Usage: Ed has a virtual law office in the basement of his parent's house where he focuses on shaved gerbil social media law.
Constant Affirmation (n), without it, you'll die.
Twitter, Facebook, and Linked-In (n), once merely services for teenagers to share innocent rainbow party stories, these are now everything to a law practice. Without them, doom. With them, millions and millions and millions of dollars.
Usage: My law office is running at full-steam. I just finished bloating my profiles on Linked-In and Facebook, and I Tweeted the whole thing!
Courtroom (n), an antiquated place where old, crusty lawyers hang-out.
Usage: What is a courtroom? I haven't left my couch in a month, and I have 50 Snapple bottles full of urine and a heaped bedpan to prove it. Mom! I'm out of Cheetos!
Exaggeration (n), necessary in describing yourself online.
See also: fabrication.
Awesome (adj), term used to describe younger lawyers (and a few older ones) who haven't done shit, but want recognition and positive affirmation. The same term and logic is often used by televangelists. Note: Awesome lawyers are often interchangeable with game changers.
Note: All variants of awesome fall-under this definition, including (and especially) awesomeness.
Usage: That lawyer who just graduated law school is awesome, particularly on his website where he talks about awesome game-changing stuff. I had no idea I needed a lawyer who specializes in tampon disposal law, but I do!
The Exclamation Point (!), (punctuation), once only necessary when quoting an excited utterance or similar exclamatory statement in legal briefs. Now, they are TOTALLY! FUCKING! NECESSARY! in all correspondence! More exclamation points = more awesome.
See also: RANDOM USE of capitalization.
Game Changer (n), a lawyer who is unable to grasp the lawyerly concepts perfected by more established and dedicated attorneys in the profession. As a result, the young lawyer is forced to invent new (half-baked) legal markets to equalize their standing with the older, wiser folks.
Usage: Agnes is such a game changer! Did you know she is a pioneer in the area of fraternity scrotum art law?
Verdict (n), something awesome game-changers have never seen. Lawyers who have actually seen one of these from in front of a bar know that the practice of law is rewarding, dirty, hard, tiring, amazing, ugly, complex, catering-to-wisdom, and learned.
A Most Wonderful Time For Me
December 26, 2012 § 6 Comments
Thank goodness for the holiday season.
For the rest of the year, I'm constantly badgered by potential clients and family members wanting me to help someone (or themselves). Sure, I charge for my services, but I also realize that I give far more than I receive. If I truly charged for all of my time and efforts, I'd earn 3-4 times what I earn now. Call it bad business. Call it careless accounting. Either way, I spend the majority of the year giving and attempting to care for others–often more than they care for themselves.
Then, things slow during the holiday season. The attentions of others are diverted to their family and friends, and they forget about me for a few weeks.
Finally, a chance to focus on myself and those close to me. During this small window of time, I need to act quickly and decisively. Thankfully, commercialism helps me to make split-second decisions to benefit myself and those who I'd rescue from a fire before you.
Flip on the TV and bam, in 15 minutes I receive a short synopsis of everything I could possibly want, need, or give during this festive time of year. The internet is even better, with ads on all my favorite websites leading me to lush depictions of everything I could ever dream of owning or gifting. Thanks to big, corporate America, I'm able to give and get more than just corduroy pants.
They also throw a couple of well-timed distractions to cause others to focus less on legal issues and more on spending those potential retainers on exciting and thoughtful do-dads.
So, thank you commercialism. Thank you corporations. Thank you government subsidies in support of the aforementioned two. Because of you, I can make the most of giving to #1 this yuletide season. Otherwise, I'd be forced to spend another couple of weeks helping others and not thinking solely of myself.
Nobody wants that. After all, it sounds like something Christ would do.
Happy Holidays to me. Indeed.
Glorious Pro Bono Profits
December 24, 2012 § 8 Comments
So, this very official envelope arrives at my extremely modest office the other day. I figured I was in trouble. After all, why would someone pay a buck seventy to send me something unless they expected to reap something from the investment?
Once opened, it contained a very pretty, 8.5" x 11", full-color, glossy brochure. The subject: all the wonderful pro bono activities of their illustrious, 162-attorney firm.
I perused it whilst visiting the fortress of solitude and discovered that they received awards. Lotsa awards. They cherish their Distinguished Service to the Arts Award. They relish the sight of their Volunteer Service Award. They bask in the glow of their Award for Excellence. It featured pictures of happy partners and associates, thrilled with their ascent to the pinnacle of charitable excellence.
Being the practical sort, though, I want numbers. Something concrete. Something tangible.
They didn't disappoint.
What does this mean? Let me break it down and hope my meager math skills don't fail me.
First, that $3,220,764 figure is impressive. If I continue working at my current pace, I'll need to live to 128 in order to have earned that in my lifetime. Please send vitamins.
They value their average hour of work at $423.
Assuming they are not including the hours of paralegals and support staff, each attorney works 47 hours per year on pro bono matters. I realize that my assumption in this matter is significant. No, huge. No, astronomical.
Knowing that the average member of a large firm spends 60+ hours at work each week, this means less than 1 average work week.
Assuming that each lawyer bills 2200 hours in the average year, those 47 hours account for 2% of their yearly efforts.
Now, I'd be remiss if I didn't ask a few questions.
1. Are they including time spent creating and mailing their fine brochure?
2. Why am I receiving this? After all, I'm so low on the lawyer totem pole that I'm subterranean. Am I really worth $1.70?
3. At what point did someone discover the magnitude of the firm's aggregate pro bono activities and decide to tell the legal world about such charitable awesomeness? Or, did they keep track of it from the beginning, knowing that they'd want the whole world to smell their rose-scented farts at the end of a bountiful pro bono year?
4. Suppose one of their associates helps an elderly woman to cross a busy street. Is this same associate then encouraged to publish his good deed to anyone within earshot? "Hey, everyone, did you see what I just did?! I helped this little old lady across the street! I'm awesome, especially since I work at…" Does he get a special gold star on the in/out board at the office? Does his time used to assist the elderly woman count toward the firm's charitable total? If it weren't for the promise of recognition and self-promotion, would he even give a damn about the old lady?
Now, I'm not going to leave these guys on a bad note. After all, it is the holiday season. You know, a season where I open my shut-up heart to the world.
So, to my big, charitable, bragging friends, I give the following advice and counsel:
1. Consider doing some work for someone in need. Do so without tracking your time. Do it because there are people who just need help and lack means. Don't put it in a ledger. Don't look for ways to use it to publicize your awesomeness to the world. See how good you'll feel, just knowing that you helped someone without promise of reward or recognition.
2. That $1.70 you spent on postage and professional printing? Send it to a charity, a really good charity. Do so anonymously. Again, see how good it makes you feel. I believe I speak for everyone else who received your mailing on this one, we'd rather you put that extra scratch in a place where it really helps.
3. While I do not advocate any particular religion or faith, do us all a favor an read Beatitudes. The Sermon on the Mount is a reminder all of us need. Regularly.
With that said, I feel like I've done something charitable this holiday season. I'll chalk this up as another .4 hours of pro bono service.
Now the whole world will know how awesome I am. A very Happy Holidays to me.

Press Release: "Legal Letter to Santa" a True Game-Changer
December 18, 2012 Comments Off
In a chat with my paralegal, we discussed the recent uptick of people calling with cases that are procedurally or substantively worthless. This is not to say that the potential clients are wrong. On the contrary, they are sometimes very, very right. However, their cases are often dead procedurally or lack the necessary evidence to facilitate a fighting chance. While the truth may be on their side, evidence to support the same is often missing.
Then, she had a "eureka" moment.
"Why don't we offer to write letters to Santa for them?" she exclaimed gleefully.
"Huh?" I replied.
"You know, they have no shot with a board, or in court, so writing a letter to Santa for them has just as much of a chance of succeeding."
At that point, it dawned on me that she was onto something.
So, without further hesitation, we are proud to offer our Legal Letter to Santa service.
Recognizing that SantaLaw is woefully underrepresented in the legal market, we emerged as industry leaders and are widely known as the go-to law firm for all SantaLaw cases.
From a recent press release that we might send to FORBES, CNN, MSNBC, FOX NEWS, and the NEW YORK TIMES:
Most people with seemingly-hopeless legal cases fail to recognize that, if it is close to December, they can seek relief by writing a letter to Santa using existing SantaLaw precedent. Sadly, many people are unsure where to start or lack the skills to write a good, legal letter to Santa. Some lack access to applicable SantaLaw regulations. That's why we're here. We bring proven industry success to the table. As past-believers of Santa who, as children, occasionally saw success in receiving the things we wished-for, we have the inside track with his offices and can negotiate a favorable outcome. It may just be some warm wishes or festive platitudes, but try to get those same things from a Federal District Court Judge. Something is always better than nothing, and we are here to try to get our clients more than nothing.
What do you get with this service? I'm glad you asked.
- Passionate, aggressive yuletide-specific representation.
- A one page, grammatically correct letter to the big guy at the North Pole. (More pages are available for an additional charge per page plus hourly fees.)
- Postage is included! (Delivery confirmation or signature service for an additional fee)
- Certified SantaLaw Specialists.
- Correct and up-to-date legal citations.
- Ample justification to get you past the naughty vs. nice procedural hump.
- We utilize our knowledge of Santa's agency to penetrate layer upon layer of elf bureaucracy standing between you and the fat man.
- As former believers in Santa, we have first-hand knowledge of the process and personnel in his agency. In short, we have the inside track.
- Reasonable fees (relative to the price you just paid for that Coby Tablet Computer for your soon-to-be-disappointed teenager).
- As recognized Santa thought-leaders, you know you are getting the very best from proven industry game-changers. We put some Awesome into Advent.
- We GUARANTEE that you will have the same chance of receiving relief from Santa as you would in Federal District, State District, government administrative board, or appellate court, or your money back.
Have a very Merry Legal Xmas.
Please note: We will not provide the same service at Easter regarding the Easter Bunny. That would be silly. It's a fucking rabbit. We're not shysters, you know.
The Silver Lining of American Tragedies
December 17, 2012 § 3 Comments
In looking for a silver lining in any recent American tragedy, we find the following:
One immutable truth in American society is that any tragedy, no matter the size, allows all of us the chance to blame everything on anything. Zealously.
Cleansing the Palate
December 7, 2012 § 1 Comment
I need to clear my thoughts. Today is one of those marathon writing days where a few cases require long, uninterrupted writing binges. It happens.
But, before I delve into the world of professional writing where I am encouraged to not start sentences with "but," I need to clear my thoughts.
So, I give you an anecdote that reminds us that the purpose of today is to provide us with an opportunity to reflect on how much of an idiot we were yesterday.
The year was 1993-ish. The scene was the mess hall (military cafeteria) at West Point. I was 19 and a sophomore. I knew just enough about the world to say stupid shit to anyone willing to listen.
Unfortunately, some things never change.
Anywho, breakfast and lunch meals were served family style, with 10 cadets per table. There was, of course, a pecking order, and I was seated just beyond the lowly freshmen, but decidedly below the juniors and seniors. Most meals were overwhelmingly mundane, with the usual classes and activities before and after.
This day was different. Special guests were being honored by West Point. Prior to the ceremony and official recognition, the guests ate lunch with cadets. This day, the two guests would be seated randomly with the Corps.
The guests were writer and Vietnam-era reporter Joe Galloway and his good friend Lieutenant General (Retired) Hal Moore. They gained notoriety for actions in the Ia Drang valley where Moore's battalion overcame extreme odds, and Galloway wrote about it from his perspective as an embedded UPI reporter. They collaborated on a book, We Were Soldiers Once… And Young. Many Army officers/cadets read this book by choice. The rest are forced. Either way, we all read it, and these two individuals are big stars in military literature and history.
As luck would have it, my table (out of 420) was selected to host one of these giants–Mr. Galloway. Nearby tables were abuzz with excitement and envy as we prepared for his arrival. Soon, an older gentleman arrived at our table escorted by a couple of officers. He quietly introduced himself, shaking the hands of the upperclassmen. At that point, we sat and began the meal ritual.
For most of the meal, our guest's attention was monopolized by the officers and upperclass cadets. They asked sugary questions about his career and how it felt to earn the Bronze Star (for Valor)(he assisted in evacuating injured soldiers from the battlefield (clearly not up to New York Post standards)).
Near the end, he turned to the low end of the table and asked us how we were and if we had any questions.
My peers remained relatively quiet, but not me. Oh no, I couldn't keep my goddamned mouth shut.
In the months prior to this lunch, US forces entered Somalia, and much was made about how members of the press were present at the beach to greet them, despite the supposedly secret mission. Their aggressive coverage of US military activities was a point of lively discussion in military communities.
I thought "I'm going to ask him a question about the press in Somalia." Upon thinking this, I opened my mouth.
I honestly don't know the exact wording of my question. However, with each passing year, my memory of it becomes more and more negative. You know how some thoughts become better and softer with time? Not this. It becomes worse.
Here's what I remember:
I asked a question that was prefaced with a comment.
I mentioned the Somalia thing.
It focused on the role of press on the battlefield.
And, I think I somehow strongly implied that the press were worthless meatbags taking up space on a battlefield and contributing to the eventual downfall of democracy. I'm sure that, in some languages, my comment might be translated as "Torture and kill all members of the press, the ruddy jackasses."
My peers looked at me as to say "Dude, WTF?"
Upperclass cadets stared at me with drooped jaws.
The officer escorting our guest gazed at me with "you little, fucking shit" eyes.
Mr. Galloway answered my question curtly, but very diplomatically, through gritted teeth. Then, he looked at his plate for a moment, still gritting, and excused himself. He never returned.
The question gained a bit of buzz among the surrounding tables, but it eventually dissipated as we returned to business as usual. The older I get, though, the more horrified I am at my past ignorance and misdirected boldness.
Thankfully, I was not court-martialed for my oral stupidity.
So, with that, I'd like to say, for the first time, "Mr. Galloway, I'm really sorry for being an idiot."
I hope he doesn't remember.
Criminalizing Failure
December 4, 2012 § 1 Comment
Most current and past members of the Armed Forces have heard the rumors of soldiers being punished for having a sunburn that prevents the proper wear of the uniform and performance of duty.
Most of us also understand the need to deter self-injury as a means of avoiding or shirking duty.
But, how about the rash of attempted and successful suicides in the military? Where do those fall?
Here, the Marine Corps shows that they have no tolerance for failure.
The court was hearing the appeal of Marine Pvt. Lazzaric Caldwell, who was convicted of "self-injury" after he slit his wrist in a barracks in Okinawa in 2010.
He was convicted under the Uniform Code of Military Justice's Article 134, known as the General Article, because the judge found his self-injury was prejudicial to good order and discipline and brought discredit upon the service.
At least one judge on the military's high court agreed with that argument. "You don't think that the public will think less of the military if people are killing themselves? …There's literature out there that these things come in waves," said Judge Margaret Ryan.
Underpinning the case is the question of why the military criminalizes attempted suicide when it does not treat successful suicide as a crime.
"If [Caldwell] had succeeded, like 3,000 service members have in the past decade, he would have been treated like his service was honorable, his family would have received a letter of condolence from the president and his death would have been considered in the line of duty. Because he failed, he was prosecuted," noted Navy Lt. Michael Hanzel, the military lawyer representing Caldwell.
Thanks again to JMo for this heads-up.
Beard 1; Judge 0
December 4, 2012 § 1 Comment
I know Judge Gregory Gross. With my cases, he was always even-handed and amazingly calm. However, none of my clients had an issue with facial hair. Apparently, that's the breaking point, and the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces (CAAF) did not mince words, and their vote was unanimous.
In short, they issued the following ruling:
Appellant's writ-appeal petitions for mandamus andprohibition are hereby granted. In light of the above, the military judge is ordered removed. The appropriate authority shall detail a new military judge in this case. Further, the contempt convictions against Appellant, as well as the military judge's order to forcibly shave Appellant, are hereby vacated.
In a bit more detail, here is some of their analysis:
As an initial matter, the command, and not the military judge, has the primary responsibility for the enforcement of grooming standards. See AR Reg. 600-20; Dep't of Defense Instr. 1300.17, Accommodation of Religious Practices Within the Military Services (Feb. 10, 2009). The maintenance of discipline, unit cohesion and unit morale are command responsibilities and functions. A military judge's contempt authority is directed toward control of the courtroom. Although the military judge here stated that Appellant's beard was a "disruption," there was insufficient evidence on this record to demonstrate that Appellant's beard materially interfered with the proceedings. See R.C.M. 804 Discussion ("In order to justify removal from the proceedings, the accused's behavior should be of such a nature as to materially interfere with the conduct of the proceedings."). Thus, taken together, the decision to remove Appellant from the courtroom, the contempt citations, and the decision to order Appellant's forcible shaving in the absence of any command action to do the same, could lead an objective observer to conclude that the military judge was not impartial towards Appellant.
In light of these rulings, and the military judge's accusations regarding the latrine, it could reasonably appear to an objective observer that the military judge had allowed the proceedings to become a duel of wills between himself and Appellant rather than an adjudication of the serious offenses with which Appellant is charged.
For those of you frustrated with the already-long wait, the train has gone back to the station. Now, every decision made by Judge Gross will be reevaluated, especially in light of the heightened appellate scrutiny that accompanies any military death penalty case.
They'll try to get it right, but that may no longer be possible. Hand it to defense counsel. They acted quickly, wisely, and decisively. They're getting exactly what they want in a military death penalty case–a big mess.
H/T to JMo for alerting me to the news.
As an aside, this was also in the decision:
Maybe Not Updating the Library
December 4, 2012 § 2 Comments
Working as a labor attorney for the Army in my initial JAG assignment, I took for granted the library provided for me (at taxpayer expense). I never looked at prices. I ordered what I needed. Questions were never asked.
Today, I thought I'd shop for the latest copy of a favorite federal labor treatise.
I said to myself, "Self, it will probably only be $50 to $70."
Self was wrong.

Database connection
Currently client sidex database are temporary storage. The data can be wipe out anytime without informing to user or script. Data corruption instance has been observed to SQLite and Chrome IndexedDB during opening the database. If corruption occur, whole database or only certain object store can wipe out.
The most unpredictable operation is database connection. For an
application to robust, storage
events dispatched from the storage instance should be listened and
validate data integrity.
var db_name = 'test-db-3'; var options = {}; db = new ydn.db.Storage(db_name, author_article_topic_schema, options); db.addEventListener('ready', function(ev) { if (isNaN(ev.getOldVersion())) { // new database is created var authors = genAuthors(100); db.put('author', authors); } else if (ev.getVersion() > ev.getOldVersion()) { // schema upgrade, do data upgrade as necessary } else { // existing database open } }); db.addEventListener('fail', function(ev) { var err = ev.getError(); // database connection fail, inform user alert('Your data will not be saved, database opening failed wth ' + err.name); });
Transaction policy
Parallel and serial tranasction thread
This library hides the transaction layer for ease of use. Each database operation method requires an active transaction. The transaction could be created or reused. The selection is determined by transaction policy. Multiple transactions can be created from a connection. Non blocking transactions are execute in parallel. For example all readonly transactions are executed in parallel. Executing parallel has performance benefit, however we may want to preserve order. This library provide transaction thread of either parallel or serial.
Consider for populating a store with records from a large delimited
text. To avoid holding memory for holding all records, data are download
by chunk using HTTP Range header by
and invoke next callback when it read a record. A chunk of data comprise
multiple records and in that case
CsvStreamer write
synchronously. While waiting for next chunk of data
invoke next callback asynchronously.
var stream = new CsvStreamer(url); var isSerial = false; var tdb = db.branch('multi', isSerial); // multi-request parallel transactions var putData = function(data) { if (data) { tdb.put('store1', data).then(function() { stream.next(function (data) { putData(data); }), function(e) { throw e; }); } }); stream.next(function (data) { putData(data); }
In this example a new multi-request parallel transaction thread is
created using
branch method. This kind of transaction
thread suitable for this use case, in which synchronous write use
existing transaction and asynchronous write use parallel
A serial transaction thread is created by using
method with
isSerial flag to
true. In serial
transaction thread, a new transaction is created only after active
transaction is committed. Transaction request are queue and popped by
last-in-fast-out basic. The default transaction thread, which is
attached to the storage instance, is serial. Serial transaction thread
is used when order of execution is important.
At the same time, multiple requests can place into a transaction. These request are executed in order in the transaction it placed. Creating a new transaction has higher cost than creating a new request. Hence placing multiple requests on a transaction has huge performance over running multiple transactions.
Single request policy (
Each database
request methods create a new request. If request is active, the
creating process is pushed into a queue. Whenever a request is completed
the queue is popped by last-in-first-out basic. This method satisfy
read-your-own-write consistency.
Atomic request policy (
Atomic serial queue transaction policy create transaction as in serial
queue transaction thread policy and intersect database request method by
holding result until transaction is committed.
If the request failed, when transaction is aborted. The database request method cannot abort the transaction.
Multi-request policy (
A new transaction is created if no active transaction or the active
transaction scope is not applicable for the requested database operation
method. If transaction is active but not reused, the creating process is
pushed into a queue. Whenever a transaction is completed the queue is
popped by last-in-first-out basic.
Repeat request policy (
'repeat'): This
is similar to multi-request policy but restrict to same transaction
Explicit request policy (
Transaction is created by using explicit scope.
Explicit transaction
Transaction is used to achieve atomic, consistent, isolated database operation. In this library, all database operation methods are performed in an implicit transaction. However, sometimes, explicit transaction are desirable. Although you can create an explicit transaction, its commit still be implicit. None of the native API in IndexedDB nor WebSQL provides to commit a transaction explicitly.
For consistency
An explicit transaction is performed by obtaining transaction database
instance using
method. This example demonstrates one use of transactions: updating an
entity with a new property value relative to its current value.
amount = 10; db.run(function health_10up(tdb) { // tdb is transaction database instance tdb.get('player', 1).done(function(p1_obj) { p1_obj.health += amount; tdb.put('player', p1_obj); }); }, ['player'], 'readwrite');This requires a transaction because the value may be updated by another user after this code fetches the object, but before it saves the modified object. Without a transaction, the user's request uses the value of
prior to the other user's update, and the save overwrites the new value.
With a transaction, the application is told about the other user's update.
If the entity is updated during the transaction, then the transaction is
retried until all steps are completed without interruption.
If operation fail, the transaction is
abort and relevant
error callback of the key will be invoked. As best
practice, keep transaction operation short and quick and resolve error
in early possible step.
This arrangement provides very natural and robust (meaning that never
you will encounter
InvalidStateError) transaction
workflow on most web application requirement.
Ensuring write
The success callback in all database operation methods are invoked by request success event. For a write database operation, a request success does not grantee that data is written because its transaction it not committed yet. The transaction commit can fail. To ensure database write, the transaction completed can be listen using explicit transaction.
db.run(function health_10up(tdb) { var req = tdb.put('player', obj).done(function(key) { // put request is success, but not grantee written to the database req.abort(); // we can still abort the request }); }, ['player'], 'readwrite'function on_completed(type, e) { if (type == 'complete') { console.log('data written to the database.'); } else if (type == 'abort') { console.log('aborted'); } else { // must be an error throw e; } });
For performance
Creating a transaction is relatively expensive in compare to making a request. Depending on transaction policy, each request may not reuse the available active transaction. The following code explicitly create a transaction re-used in the loop.
db.run(function (tdb) { data_list.forEach(function(data) { tdb.put('store', data); }); });
Parellel transaction thread create a new transaction immediate, where as in serial transaction thread, transaction are created only if previous transaction is commited. Overflow policy request to reuse the previous transaction if compatible.
It should be noted that the above code avoid using large synchronous loop. Instead asynchronous streaming is used.
Storing File and Blob data
IndexedDB can store beyound JSON serializable type, including File and Blob. In fact, File storage is so successful that W3C is even considering to use IndexedDB API over FileSystem API. Currently only Firefox is supported these storage.
File and Blob should be store as single recrods with out-of-line key as follow:
var file_schema = { stores: [ { name: 'file', type: 'TEXT' // data type of 'file' object store key } ]}; db = new ydn.db.Storage('file-test-1', file_schema); /** * @param {string} url URL of the file to be retrieved * @param {Function=} callback optional callback */ var saveImage = function(url, callback) { var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.open("GET", url, true); xhr.responseType = "blob"; xhr.addEventListener("load", function () { if (xhr.status === 200) { console.log("Image retrieved"); var blob = xhr.response; // Put the received blob into IndexedDB db.put('file', blob, url).then(function(key) { console.log('Save to ', 'file:' + key); if (callback) {callback(key);} }, function(e) { throw e; } ); } }, false); xhr.send(); }; /** * @param {string} key the key of the image record */ var showImage = function(key) { db.get('file', key).done(function(record) { // Get window.URL object var URL = window.URL || window.webkitURL; // Create ObjectURL var imgURL = URL.createObjectURL(record); // Set img src to ObjectURL var img = document.createElement('img'); img.setAttribute('name', url); img.setAttribute('src', imgURL); document.body.appendChild(img); // Revoking ObjectURL URL.revokeObjectURL(imgURL); }, function(e) { throw e; }); };
Load and save an image file
url = 'http://dev.yathit.com/images/HTML5_logo_and_wordmark.png'; saveImage(url);
Image is retrieved by
Synchronization with backend server
Synchronizing client database and backend RESTful server is fairly
straight forwards. To archive efficient synchronization, the
implementation is require more on server side than on client side. To
facilitate client side data caching, HTTP protocol provide two (four
methods) request header. Basically the state of the data is identified
by either etag or updated date or both. If etag is used, a GET request
include If-None-Match
header of know etag value from the client side data. Server return 304
without response body if the data not changed. For modification
requests, If-Match
header is used to prevent overriding wrong version of a resource. The
use case of modified date is similar.
A synchronization layer is required on top of CRUD methods (add, get,
put, clear). The example synchronization
adapter is available on Github repository for Backbone framework
on Google API backend. To notify changes in the database, storage
instance dispatch StoreEvent and RecordEvent for changes in the
database. The events are not dispatch by default because eventing
implementation is not cheap. The desire store must installed to dispatch
the events by setting
dispatchEvents to
var events_schema = { stores: [ { name: 'store 1', keyPath: 'id', dispatchEvents: true, type: 'NUMERIC'} ]};
The events are listened as follow:
db.addEventListener(['created', 'updated'], function(e) { console.log(e.name); // this will be either 'RecordEvent' or 'StoreEvent' console.log(e.getStoreName()); console.log(e.type); // this will be one of 'created', 'updated' or 'deleted' // use getKey() and getValue() methods for RecordEvent // use getKeys() and getValues() methods for StoreEvent });
However to achieve efficiency in synchronization of collection of models, it is not straight forward because HTTP (and REST) do not said about conditional retrieval of collection of documents. A usual way is fetching with query parameter of last updated time in the client side. A demonstration of efficient retrieval using Google Data API (atom format) is available in the repository.
