SignalR is a library that simplifies the creation and management of persistent connections between web servers and clients. This facilitates the development of applications that can display updates to data held on the server in real-time. Chat applications are the most obvious beneficiaries of this technology, but line-of-business applications that need to report availability to users can benefit too. Here, I look at extending the canonical SignalR chat example to incorporate a "who's typing" feature, and I also extend my previous Knockout example to use SignalR.
First, what is the problem that SignalR is designed to solve? The web works on a Request-Response model. Browsers and other user agents make requests and web server provide a response to that request.The response is sent to the delivery address provided in the request by the user agent. And that is the natural order of things on the Web - servers can't make responses without a request. For the most part, this is not an issue, but if you want to display real-time updates on your web page, you have needed to resort to techniques like repeatedly polling the server using AJAX to see if any changes had been made to data. Alternatively, you could use Comet technology, which keeps a persistent connection open between the server and the client. HTML5 introduced two new techniques - Server Sent Events and WebSockets. SignalR is a user-friendly wrapper around all these technologies that makes it a lot easier to create applications that require the real-time display of data. SignalR utilises HTML5 Web Sockets API where it is available, and falls back onto other technologies where they are not - Server Sent Events, Forever Frames or Long Polling, the last two of which are Comet techniques.
SignalR is currently in pre-release - Release Candidate 1 to be precise. It is available via Nuget or Github. However, since it is pre-release, it is not available via the WebMatrix Nuget client. But you can get it using Visual Studio (and Express For Web version, which is free) if you choose "Include Prerelease" instead of the default "Stable Only" option. Or you can use the Package Manager Console and simply type:
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR -Pre
It is recommended to install the package this way (via Nuget) as there are quite a few bits and pieces to be installed:
The centre piece of a SignalR application is a hub, which is similar to a Controller in ASP.NET MVC. A hub is responsible for receiving input and generating output. Hubs are written as server-side classes that inherit from Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Hubs.Hub. Public methods created in a hub class are intended to be called from client code. They typically result in a response being sent to the client. Here's the hub and method that the Chat example at the ASP.NET web site features:
using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Hubs; public class ChatHub : Hub { public void Send(string name, string message) { Clients.All.broadcastMessage(name, message); } }
This should be saved as ChatHub.cs (a C# class file) in App_Code. A using directive is added to the top of the file which makes Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Hubs available to the code. At runtime, a JavaScript file is generated dynamically which contains a client-side implementation of the public Send method so that it can act as a proxy to the server-side method. You write an implementation of the broadcastMessage method in client-code so that the Hub method can call it and thereby provide a response. You can also determine who should receive the response through the options available:
Here's the full client-side code starting with the Layout page:
@{ } <!DOCTYPE html>   <meta charset="utf-8" /> <title>@Page.Title</title> <link href="~/Styles/site.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />    @RenderSection("script", required: false)   @RenderBody()
Notice that there is a reference to a script called hubs in a signalr folder, neither of which exist. This is a placeholder for the dynamically generated script that translates the Hub methods to client code.
@{ }
 <input type="text" id="message" /> <input type="button" id="sendmessage" value="Send" /> <input type="hidden" id="displayname" />

 @section script{  }
Some HTML elements are created at the top of the file - a text box, button, a hidden field and an unordered list. In the script block, a client-side proxy is created for the server-side ChatHub class:
var chat = $.connection.chatHub;
The client-side version of the hub is generated using camel-case (first word lower case). Remember that you have to write your own client-side implementation of the dynamic broadcastMessage method? The next section shows that. It takes the two strings provided by the Hub method, and uses them to generate a list item that is added to the unordered list. The next couple of lines set up the user by prompting for a name which is stored in the hidden field, and setting the focus on the textbox. Then the connection to the hub is opened, and a click event handler is added to the button which results in the Send method in the server version of the hub being invoked:
chat.server.send(encodedName, encodedMsg);
So just to recap, the button click invokes the client-side chat.server.send method, which calls the public ChatHub.Send method, which responds with Clients.All.broadcastMessage which invokes the client-side chat.client.broadcastMessage function.
There is one final thing needed to get this working, asn that is to register the default route for hubs, which is best done in an _AppStart.cshtml file:
@using System.Web.Routing @using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR @{ RouteTable.Routes.MapHubs(); }
The chat example is easy to understand and illustrates the basic workflow nicely. But it is not a complete application by any stretch of the imagination. It needs more, and a common feature of chat applications is an indicator of who is currently typing. We can use the workflow logic above to plan an implementation.
Something on the client needs to invoke a server-side method. Keystrokes are as good an indication of typing as any, so that will do:
$('#message').keypress(function () { var encodedName = $('
').text($('#displayname').val()).html(); chat.server.isTyping(encodedName); });
From the definition of the client method, it should be easy to discern the name and signature of the additional method required in the ChatHub class:
public void IsTyping(string name){ Clients.All.sayWhoIsTyping(name); }
With each keypress, the name of the current user is passed to the server-side IsTyping method, which responds by calling a client-side function called sayWhoIsTyping:
chat.client.sayWhoIsTyping = function (name) { $('#isTyping').html('' + name + ' is typing'); setTimeout(function () { $('#isTyping').html(' '); }, 3000); };
It's a rough and ready function, which takes the name passed from the server-side method, and displays it as part of a string in a div with an ID of isTyping. The text is cleared after 3 seconds.
I have written about Knockout before. If you are not sure what Knockout is all about, you should read the previous article first. In that previous article, the example shows a simple application where the user can select a products, and from the resulting list, select one product to view the details. There is a simple button that results in the ViewModel's unitsInStock value decreasing by one as if a purchase had been made, and the UI being updated as a result. And that's one of the benefits of Knockout - changes to observable values in the ViewModel result in that change being reflected wherever it is bound in the UI. But the change is localised to the individual user's browser. If a product unit is actually purchased, or indeed if more are made available, it would be a really good idea if ALL current users are notified of the change in unitsInStock in real-time, right? Sounds like a task for SignalR.
The number of changes needed to the existing Knockout sample code are actually quite small. I amended the existing ViewModel buy function and added another function to manage reordering products. I also added two computed observables (they used to be called dependent observables); one that works out whether the user can buy a product based on availability, and the other that works out whether the reorder level has been reached:
viewModel.buy = function() { var id = this.productId(); productsHub.server.buyProduct(id); }; viewModel.reorder = function() { var quantity = this.reorderQuantity(); var id = this.productId(); productsHub.server.reorderProduct(quantity, id); }; viewModel.canBuy = ko.computed(function() { return this.unitsInStock() > 0; }, viewModel); viewModel.canReorder = ko.computed(function() { return this.unitsInStock() <= this.reorderLevel(); }, viewModel);
I also added a reorderLevel property to the ViewModel, and then added a textbox and button for reordering, and wired up its visibility to the canReorder computed observable. The reordering button and textbox will only be visible if the units in stock reaches the reorder level value. The Buy One button is now only enabled if there are units in stock. Previously, when there were no units in stock, the result of clicking the Buy One was an alert indicating that no stock existed:

 <input data-bind="value: reorderQuantity" class="reorder" /> <button data-bind="click: reorder">Reorder</button>

   <button data-bind="click: buy, enable: canBuy">Buy One</button>

If you have been following along so far, you can see that the two ViewModel functions: buy and reorder point to server-side Hub methods that don't currently exist: BuyProduct (indicated by productsHub.server.buyProduct) and ReorderProduct (indicated by productsHub.server.reorderProduct). So here is the code for the ProductHub with its methods:
using Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Hubs; using WebMatrix.Data; public class ProductHub : Hub { public void BuyProduct(int productId) { using (var db = Database.Open("Northwind")) { var unitsInStock = db.QueryValue("SELECT UnitsInStock FROM Products WHERE ProductId = @0", productId); if (unitsInStock > 0) { db.Execute("UPDATE Products Set UnitsInStock = UnitsInStock - 1 WHERE ProductId = @0", productId); unitsInStock -= 1; } Clients.All.updateAvailableStock(unitsInStock, productId); } } public void ReorderProduct(int quantity, int productId){ using (var db = Database.Open("Northwind")) { db.Execute("UPDATE Products Set UnitsInStock = UnitsInStock + @0 WHERE ProductId = @1", quantity, productId); var unitsInStock = db.QueryValue("SELECT UnitsInStock FROM Products WHERE ProductId = @0", productId); Clients.All.updateAvailableStock(unitsInStock, productId); } } }
This time, the changes caused by user action will be stored in the database, which didn't happen in the previous Chat example. The BuyProduct method retrieves the current number of units in stock for the selected product, and permits a purchase if there are are any. The revised number of units in stock, along with the product ID are sent to the all currently connected clients via an updateAvailableStock method. The ReorderProduct method simply increases the UnitsInStock value by whatever quantity was passed in to the method by the ViewModel function. Again, the revised number of units in stock is broadcast to all connected clients.
So how does the client handle this broadcast? It needs an updateAvailableStock function so that the hub methods can call it:
productHub.client.updateAvailableStock = function(unitsInStock, productId) { if (viewModel.productId() == productId) { viewModel.unitsInStock(unitsInStock); $('span[data-bind="text: unitsInStock"]').effect('highlight', { color: '#9ec6e2' }, 3500); } };
First is checks to see if the ID of the product being updated is the one currently bound to the ViewModel, and if it is, the value is updated and a highlight effect is applied to the span that displays the units in stock:
All that remains to do is to create a client-side proxy for the ProductHub and establish a connection:
productsHub = $.connection.productHub; $.connection.hub.start();
Both of these examples are available as part of a sample site available at GitHub.
SignalR is a lot more powerful than these introductory demonstrations illustrate. You can write your own PipelineModule class and inject your own processing code into the hub pipeline. You can add authorization really easily to a hub method or a complete hub using data annotiation style attributes. You can read more about the latest SignalR release here.

Change is necessary for any culture to survive, and the artists are a testament to the strength of their culture. As Haida artist Robert Davidson says, 'We have lost so much that to simply sit and try to re-create the past would finish us — we must move forward to survive as a culture.' Moreover, both the art and the culture have always been concerned with themes of transformation and regeneration, and many of the myths document a world that is ever-changing."

Take a look at the 300 wsm as well, some don't like it as much, but its a bit flatter shooting which I really like as I don't always have time to use a range finder to get my yardage and everything worked out.
.30-06 or .308.
If you want to shoot living animals at 800 yards, the .50 BMG would be more appropriate. Preferably hard mounted on a vehicle.
War is the continuation of politics by other means. Carl von Clausewitz
VThe best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.Winston Churchill
I would say .300 wsm. The 7mm is a good one also. But ammo is a bit more.
I have win 300 mag. It is accurate up 1000 yds+. I can shoot it up to 200 yds with no drop whatsoever. It is a bolt action rifle with a very sweet trigger. I put a muzzle break on it to save my shoulder from the massage therapist. You can go wrong. Check your Kmart. They are closing out their rifle ammo at half price.
Seems to me 800-1000 yard shots are mainly done with targets for competition or the heck of it, I don't hear of many hunters even out west shooting that far at animals, you get to the extreme long ranges and many other variables have a big effect on your shooting, mainly good old mother nature, different wind gusts for example can throw you off different amounts, those sort of shots are very risky and take a ton of practice, even the most accomplished shooters aren't going to be near perfect at those ranges and are going to think twice before pulling the trigger and risking wounding an animal.

• Forty-eight states, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands tax lodging.
State and local governments in nearly every state levy taxes on short-term accommodations—30 days or less in most states. Out-of-state visitors pay most of these taxes so raising them has become an increasingly common way for lawmakers to increase revenues without raising residents' taxes.
Lodging taxes have several components. Often, accommodations are subject to the same general state and local sales taxes that apply to most other purchases. Some states also impose specific lodging taxes, either in place of or in addition to the general sales tax. In addition, many states permit local governments to levy other lodging taxes.

Nexcelle Completes The Preliminary Design Review For Its Nacelle To Equip GE's Passport Engines On Bombardier Global 7000 And 8000 Business Jets
The Nexcelle joint venture of GE's Middle River Aircraft Systems and the Safran group's Aircelle has completed the Preliminary Design Review for its nacelle on the GE Passport engine, marking a major milestone with the integrated propulsion system that will power the Bombardier* Global 7000* and Global 8000* twin-jet business aircraft.
The successful design review was held at Nexcelle's Cincinnati, Ohio headquarters, with its results announced today.
"With this milestone, Nexcelle has demonstrated the capability to execute on the design and development responsibility for its programs," said Nexcelle President Huntley Myrie. "Our teams also are well advanced in preparing the manufacturing and assembly infrastructure that will handle the Passport engine nacelle production."
Nexcelle's Passport nacelle incorporates the expertise of its Aircelle and Middle River Aircraft Systems parent companies, including their capabilities in composites, acoustic treatment and advanced production techniques.Main nacelle elements include the inner and outer barrel, manufactured with composite materials for weight reduction; a fan cowl produced with composites for both weight reduction and strength; along with a target-type two-door thrust reverser and fixed aft nozzle, which are built largely with composites in a design chosen for both performance and weight reduction. Among the advanced production techniques to be applied by Nexcelle is a robotic drilling and fastening installation for the nacelle's inlet assembly to improve productivity, quality and repeatability. The Passport's thrust reverser will be built on a moving assembly line, which applies techniques similar to those used in the automotive industry for improved production efficiency. As part of the production preparations, tooling designs for the Passport nacelle are now being released by Nexcelle. Aircelle will produce its Passport nacelle components at the company's facilities in France and Morocco; while Middle River Aircraft Systems' production activity is to include composite parts manufacturing and assembly in an all-new GE shared facility in the United States, which currently is taking form in Ellisville, Mississippi.

My son asks me to play this with him often! I alter it slightly to play with just the two of us. My favorite part was one of the questions he answered- "something good about the other person" and he told me he liked that fed him and play with him and he loves me. It is neat to hear the thoughts in his head!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Commission strengthens greenspace policy
Date: April 6, 2010
by: Robin Roy | City Editor
The most debated word in the city's new greenspace policy has been eliminated, and with it gone, the policy became more stringent.
The city created a Greenspace Policy Committee to recommend changes to the policy that dictates how greenspace is defined and treated downtown.
The committee recommended to the City Commission that the policy's wording change significantly from stating that the city's should "reduce the use of shrubs and bushes to a bare minimum" to greenspace is generally preferred over hardscape."
Commissioner Terry Turner didn't think that change went far enough and asked that the word "generally" be removed.
That word was debated within the committee because some members felt the city was moving too far to one extreme and was favoring plants over people. The overall commission unanimously approved Turner's request.
Read more about the decision in Thursday's Sarasota Observer.
In other City Commission action, Vice Mayor Kelly Kirschner urged the city's engineering and transportation staff to come up with a quick solution to the problem of Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota visitors having difficulty crossing U.S. 41 to get downtown.
"Every time I see tourists standing there, it's an embarrassment for the city. It's an embarrassment for the Ritz-Carlton," he said.

Online Schools
The Michigan public school system has launched the state's first online public charter school, the Michigan Virtual Charter Academy (MVCA).
As a public school, the MVCA does not charge tuition, and enrolled students are provided with school materials (equipment, books, and other learning media) at no charge. Participation requires a computer with Web browser, which students may receive on a loan basis in cases of financial hardship. The initial 2010-2011 academic year will accept Michigan residents who attended any public school the prior year (excepting kindergarten), or students under the age of 21 who have dropped out of high school. The deadline for application is June 11, 2010, and an online account login is provided once the application is accepted.
Curriculum is provided by K12, a private educational services company. About 20 percent to 25 percent of learning time involves a computer; the remaining balance is spent offline with more traditional textbook-based assignments or on field trips and other events, according to K12. For high school students, some instruction requires attendance in person at a learning center. High school courses are structured by student ability level into four categories: Core, Comprehensive, Honors, and Advanced Placement (AP). Advanced Placement coursework available includes AP English, Calculus, Biology, and United States History (among others) and follows the College Board curriculum.

Will not adjust by z., December 28, 2012
|Ease of Use/Installation:
|Overall Rating:
The mirror will not adjust out so you can see behind you unless doing it by hand. When moving back in it will not go out far enough except by hand. To expensive to ship back. Other parts I have purchased has worked good.
by claud, August 7, 2009
|Ease of Use/Installation:
|Overall Rating:
Because I have black trim areas on my 98 Taurus, it looked fine. Installation requires removal of inside door panels which took about 45 minutes with my local repair people.
Cheap and Easy by Slim, June 20, 2009
|Ease of Use/Installation:
|Overall Rating:
The black mirror doesn't quite match with the dark green car. But a body shop would charge at least $200 to replace this, most of that cost being the paint job!
Great buy by Lee, January 12, 2009
|Ease of Use/Installation:
|Overall Rating:
Great product. I have a '99 Sable that has black trim around the window, so the mirror looks great. I will have to purchase one for the other side so they match. Black goese with any color.
Great mirror for the price. by Me, November 11, 2008
|Ease of Use/Installation:

By far the best mirror I could find for the price. Looks just like the factory mirror.
Great Value, Quality, & Packaging! by ThatOneGuy, September 16, 2008

Mirror came packaged very well in box and even in cloth bonnet. Installed on car ('97 Taurus) and worked flawlessly - Great Value!

Good replacement mirror fits right in the old bolt holes, and plugs into the power supply without a problem.

Quick and Cheap! by Mike in Highland,California, April 24, 2008
|Ease of Use/Installation:
|Overall Rating:
My daughter clipped her mirror off and I thought it was going to be a $200 repair minimum. The replacement mirror at this sight only cost $38 and even though the shipping and taxes brought it up to $56 I recieved the Package the next business day! Installation instructions would be nice, but as most guys know they are not required by real mean. This was easier and cheaper than going to Auto Zone on the corner.
Great mirror by Don, March 25, 2008
|Ease of Use/Installation:
|Overall Rating:
This product is just as good as a OEM. I had a litle problem getting it on the car,but it was resolved very quickly. The Taurus I drive is 8 years old, so no need for a OEM when vandals break something in a mall parking lot.
Nice Mirror, right price by Walkie, January 30, 2008
|Ease of Use/Installation:
|Overall Rating:
This mirror was quickly shipped, and came in good working condition. The power snapped easily into the original socket. The overall shape of the mirror is a little longer of an oval than the original, but it's certainly close enough. Like the Model-T comes in any color you want, as a long as its black! But for a 98 taurus, I could care less. Overall, a real good deal for a power side mirror. Much better than the list prices elsewhere.

|EMCA fights back to win, stays in playoff picture

EMCA's Hunter Buce (5) carries the ball deep inside Crenshaw territory late in the first quarter during the Wildcats first scoring drive.

By ART PARKER
East Memorial Christian Academy (EMCA) has been behind on the scoreboard early in every game this season. Most of the time, they have not been able to overcome the deficit. But things were different Thursday night as the Wildcats overcame an early 16-0 deficit to win 35-16 over Crenshaw Academy. "I think our conditioning played a role in the outcome and we also made the correct adjustments on defense soon enough to prevent them from scoring again," said Brad Porter, head coach at EMCA.
Hunter Buce tossed a touchdown pass to David Baker to reduce the Crenshaw lead to 16-8 before halftime. Buce scored again in the third quarter and added the 2 point conversion to tie the game at 16-16. Johnny Moore scored on a reception, Sean O'Brien ran 58 yards for a touchdown and Buce dealt the final blow to the Cougars in the fourth scoring from 20 yards out.

|I am in the process of making about 15 gallons of aerated compost tea for my St. Augustine lawn. I will be applying it with a watering can. A few questions...
I am not on well water. Will watering the tea into my lawn using potable water (ie. chlorinated) harm the microorganisms? I applied mushroom compost 2 weeks ago and was about to turn on my sprinklers, but thought otherwise.
Is it possible to have a good microherd despite having cholorinated water??
Follow-Up Postings:
|Making compost tea with chlorinated, ie. municipal, water is not a problem since the amount of bacteria will simply overwhelm the chlorine. However, Jeff Gillman, in his newest book, says that making compost, or manure, teas can also increase the population of disease pathogens, E-Coli, Salmonella, Listeria, etc.
If your soil does not have sufficient levels of the Soil Food Web at best your compost tea will only be a short term solution to a problem. If you have sufficient organic matter in your soil now the Soil Food Web should be active enough that spraying compost tea will have little benefit.
- Posted by dchall_san_antonio 8 San Antonio (My Page) on Sat, Mar 17, 12 at 13:22
|If you already applied compost you don't need tea. The microbes you get from tea is only a subset of microbes available in the compost.
Here in San Antonio we had a group of organic professionals attend a training course by Dr Ingham on how to make compost tea and measure the results with a microscope and stains. One of those people has done some research using tap water. They found the fungal population of the tea was cut in half using fresh tap water as opposed to just letting the tap water gas off the chlorine for a few days.
Compost tea will not grow any population of pathogens unless the pathogens are in the compost. If you have excellent compost that has finished composting. Fresh manure should never be used for compost. Your mushroom compost should be fine.
I do agree if your soil is growing normal grass, it probably has plenty of beneficial microbes. If you want to improve the turf performance, is likely you need fertilizer rather than compost.
|Thank you both for your replies. I am leery about making manure teas, so I usually just stick with the plant stuff.
David...I am trying to resurrect a portion of my lawn that has died. Large bare spots with compacted soil. I have applied various grains (alfalfa, cornmeal, soybean) but the St. Augustinegrass is not creeping into the bare spots. So I came to the conclusion that I must not have a good microherd/good soil - hence the mushroom compost and tea (made with vericompost, mushroom compost, alfalfa pellets, molasses, seaweed, and a handful of garden soil). This weekend I filled the bare areas with a blend of builders sand, mushroom compost, and peat hoping that a substrate will build to support the grass stolons.
I do let the tap water off gas for a few days before brewing compost tea - I was wondering if running my sprinker system (fed off tap water)will hinder the growth of microbes in the soil. I did read here on the forum that water emitted through sprinklers has time to off gas before hitting the soil. What do you two think?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
|Most every municipal water system that uses chlorine as a disinfectant now uses Sodium Hypochlorate, a more stable chlorine product then chlorine which wanted to return to its gaseous state as quickly as possible. Having cylinders or tanks of liquid Chlorine around was dangerous since accidents happened and releases of Chlorine were common. NaOCl is much more stable and does not easily gas off. The idea of letting municipal water sit in an open bucket for 24 hours comes from the days of Chlorine so today you will need many more hours to eliminate the NaOCl.

|I agree with kimmsr about the use of chlorinators other than chlorine. I believe they call it chloramine.
Try this to get your St Aug to spread better. Over fertilize it with a strong organic fertilizer. Apply about 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet at least every month. You can do it every week if you want to see the results faster. Last year I used corn gluten meal every month and was pleasantly surprised (if not shocked) at how much nicer my lawn looked. The second thing to try is watering a little more frequently. Frequent watering is something I have sworn to stamp out in the wild, but I did notice that my grass spread better when kept a little moister. Rather than watering monthly this time of year, you might try every 2 weeks. And the last thing is to stop mowing it. This has many effects among which are more shade on the soil, deeper roots bringing up deeper nutrients, and much less stress on the grass plants. If your spouse and neighbors will let you, let it go 2-3 weeks between mowing and then mow only at your mower's highest setting.
|Thanks kimmsr and David for your replies.
I can't find corn gluten nor soybean meal here is west FL but will apply alfalfa every two weeks in the areas that are bare. The grass in the other lawn areas have responded nicely to all the compost tea, mushroom compost, corn meal, fish meal, etc. Only about 15% of the lawn is having issues that I have been trying to tackle.
Thanks again.

|My city water is treated with chlorimine and the city lab tells me that it does not dissipate easily. They still showed some in a lab test that was water in an open container at the end of a week.
Does anyone know how I should deal with chloramine? I am using a 5 gallon bucket and aerate with a four nozzle aquarium tank air pump now. Just more time than 24 hrs or?

Oct. 27 (Bloomberg) -- Nexans SA, a French maker of cables and wires, is curbing inventories and being more cautious on hiring and investments as it adapts a to potential fallout from Europe's debt crisis, the chief executive officer said.
"Since Sept. 1, we've introduced precautionary measures," Frederic Vincent said yesterday in an interview. "We've asked staff to be extremely vigilant" on spending, hiring and working capital, he said. No "heavy measures" such as restructuring are planned for the time being, as the latest figures point to no change in trends from the first half, he said.
Paris-based Nexans, the second-largest cable maker after Italy's Prysmian SpA, is bracing for an slowdown induced by Europe's sovereign debt crisis. That's after growth was held back in the first half by turmoil in the Middle East and fighting in Libya that delayed contracts and interrupted work.
Vincent reiterated Nexans's annual target for organic revenue growth in the range of 5 percent to 7 percent, as like- for-like sales grew 3.9 percent in the third quarter. He's seeking an operating margin of about 5.5 percent in 2011, up from 4.8 percent in 2010.
"If there was to be a change in trends, which is always possible as mentioned by some companies, that would become a problem for 2012, not for 2011," Vincent said. "We forecast to end the year in the same line as in the third quarter."
Car Boom
Deliveries of harnesses to carmakers show no sign of slowdown, as German automotive customers remain "very positive," the CEO said. Sales to German and Italian machine- tool makers grew strongly in the third quarter, and demand from Korean shipmakers picked up, Vincent said.
Demand from construction companies in Canada, Australia, France and Northern Europe advanced and "showed no pressure on prices, nor on margins," he said.
High-voltage cable sales in the Gulf are "slowly picking up," and sales in Libya should resume in 2012, the CEO said. Sales of undersea cables in 2011 won't grow as much as previously expected because of delays in deliveries that will slip into 2012, he said, adding that the backlog in submarine cable remains "as strong" as before.
Markets such as energy infrastructures will continue to grow in 2012, regardless of a economic slowdown, Vincent said, adding that it's too early to make a forecast for the company as a whole.
"There will probably be tensions on access to credit," the CEO said. "Access to credit isn't an issue for Nexans today, given its risk profile."
He reiterated that the company plans to trim its net debt to about 300 million euros ($415 million) by the end of the year, from 366 million euros at the end of June.

TravelPod Member ReviewsHotel Abbazia Venice
What a fantastic hotel. The location near the train station is perfect for us as we leave by train for Varenna today. The hotel is really close to the bridge over the Grand Canal but is round the corner from the main crowd. Staff were fantastic.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
We were used the Hotel Abbazia (A-bee-sha) as our base camp for our stay in Venice and we were glad we did. The Hotel Abbazia is a renovated 14th century monastery attached to the Scalzi Church.
What a fantastic place to experience Venice. Typically hotels around train stations are noisy at night, but we did not find this to be the true. Getting to the hotel is easy if you know what to look for. Turn left on the Calle Priuli dei Cavalletti (CPD Cavalletti) walkway (alley) and walk about 200 feet to the Abbazia Hotel on the left. The Venetian dialect is different from the typical Italian dialect. The Abbazia hotel is pronounced; "A-bee-sha." This nondescript walkway (alley shown at the right) is exactly opposite from the Scalzi bridge and adjacent to the bank and ATM. A small sign, on the corner of the alley, will list the Abbazia hotel. You will think that you are entering a ghetto area, in which you are actually in the Jewish ghetto portion of Venice.
If you are making reservations over the internet and require a 1st floor room be sure to do it 2-3 months in advance, since the hotel does not have elevators. We had a 3rd floor room (we didn't know about the elevators) but it was great to look out over the alley way in the evening and listen to the sounds of the city. It is an exceptional hotel and we recommend it highly. The desk managers are friendly and courteous and most helpful in anything you require. Do not hesitate to ask them for their assistance for anything. Mathew, at the front desk will do everything possible to make your stay comfortable. Free WIFI and a fantastic breakfast buffet was very convenient during our stay and the central courtyard was amazing to relax in after the hard days of walking through Venice. In fact, the Hotel Abbazia became home for use during our stay in Italy and the garden courtyard is where I spent the majority of time when not walking the streets of Venice. Many people shun hotels near the railway station because of the street noise occurring all night, but we did not fine that true.
To the left of the front desk is a common room that originally was where the monks ate their meals. Look up to the right and you will notice and enclosed lectern platform where the orator stood reading the scriptures during the Monks meal time. Going to the end of the room is another hallway.
Turn to the right and the hallway leads to the breakfast room and the garden courtyard. The breakfast buffet begins at 7:00 AM and you will be amazed by the different kinds of Italian breakfast foods available for you to enjoy.
Just a note on what to select from the breakfast buffet; the beef is delicately cut in thin strips with the perfect amount of lean to fat ratio, however, unless your use to the aged acrid flavor I would recommend avoiding it. The bread is typically Italian...all tasteless crust with very little soft center. Avoid the attractive pyramid shaped rolls unless you like all crust. Things to enjoy are the milk, juice and the incredible Italian coffee straight out of the coffee machine. The cheeses, prosciutto (ham) and salami are amazing. Delicate pastries, cakes and sweet pastries are astounding and all are included in the bill.

Historical Traveler Reviews Hotel Abbazia Venice
Monastic charm
I have the hotel from its very plain beginnings to completerenovation.
The staff is very helpful, breakfast with lotsof choices and rooms (especially on the garden side) very good. The hotel above all is very clean. Elviso, one of the managers, is very accomodating. Ps: don't mind the bells,they are part of the charm of venice.
Wonderful base for a beatiful city
My partner and I stayed at the Abbazia in mid-November 2003, and loved it. The location is great -- right next to the train station -- so no dragging luggage around when you're arriving in and leaving the city.
The staff is friendly and helpful, and the hotel itself is amazing. The breakfast staff is remarkably helpful, and the breakfast itself is very good. We'd stay here again in a minute.
Great location, friendly staff..
The Abbazia is in a great location - conveniently close to the main rail and bus stations but set back from the hustle and bustle of the main streets. The water bus stop is 100m away - great for exploring the Grand Canal. Our room was a superior one overlooking the gardens and was lovely - spacious, comfortable and quiet (other than the bells each morning!) The staff were extremely friendly and the only thing we could fault about the hotel was the breakfast service - for each of the 4 days we stayed, we came down to breakfast between 8.30 and 9.30 and had to wait for tables to be cleared before we could sit down, then a further wait before coffee was brought. The staff were rushed off their feet and they could just do with an extra person at peak time to improve the service. The food choice was limited but the hot pastries delicious! Overall, highly recommended, would go back.
Location, location, location...
This is the perfect place just steps away from the train station which makes commuting much easier. Very clean, comfortable rooms. Nice ambience and VERY nice and helpful personnel. I would definitely go back. Yocasta
Abbazia is the best
A very short walk from the Venezia train station, this hotel is placed at the center of where you want to be in Venice. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms are very comfortable, and if you can get one facing the courtyard instead of the street, quiet as well. Rates are excellent in the offseason and reasonable (relatively) otherwise. One caution in Venice - most hotels have arrangements with the glass factories in Murano and local restaurants. You may prefer to take the vaporetto on your own and not be bound to a particular business. There is pressure to buy, but it is resistable.
Comfortable, could have been nice, but...
The hotel is situated just a few minutes from the train station (Santa Lucia). This definitely saved us the cost of water taxis, which could be an expensive adventure. However, the walk to San Marco is a trek. We took advantage of the water busses and became pros. We booked a quad room, as we were traveling with our two teenage sons. The room was big enough to sleep four people comfortably but otherwise not big enough to want to stay in for any length of time (not unusual for Italy, though).
The problem was the room stunk like my kids' old socks after a hockey game. We complained at the front desk and were told it would be taken care of. We hit the town and did not come back to the hotel until almost midnight. Upon entering the room, the smell was still there. We slept the night and complained at the front desk again in the morning.
This time the staff (Mirko) went to the room personally, realized there was a problem with the a/c, and immediately moved us to another room that could hold 4 people. This room turned out to be a beautiful and very spacious suite. Our remaining stay was comfortable and uneventful.
The only thing that wasn't appreciated was the clanging of bells from the cathedral next door at 7:15 am and repeated at 8:15 am. Don't bring an alarm clock. You won't need one.

Walking in Venice
Two things you don't do in Venice – take a gondola ride, and poke someone in the eye. The first is way too expensive and the second, well, if you make a Venetian blind, they hang you (boom boom).
Venice is like a rich dessert – you have to take small bites to properly appreciate the flavour. Our small bites consist of an …
Venezia and its canals!
We leave behind Roma and head to Venice! I was just happy to not be staying in that trailor anymore.
It was this point in the tour where my diary was not getting much attention, and therefore only main points were recorded. Since Venice is made up of many little islands, and its hard/expensive to find one on the main section of Venice, we were across the way. After getting our bags into the room- which ...

An extensible static site generator written in Clojure.
Get excited (or don't)
One more static website generator might not be the world's most exciting development. That being said, if the following items sound like good ideas to you then you may like incise:
- Use Clojure ✓
- Allow many different setups and configurations ✓
- Extensible by nature ✓
- Batteries included, but only if you want them. ✓
inciseis just a collection of extensions on top of
Of course these examples are sort of meaningless, in that Incise does not help you create content or designs—it is simply a mechanism for finding files dispatching them to functions based on file extensions. This pattern happens to be pretty powerful and batteries are included to actually make it useful too.
Incise is primarily configured via a config file it tries to find as a resource. This file must be named
incise.edn and be found in the root of your resources directory. You can override that file and pass in the
-c or
--config option to incise's main function to specify an alternative location of the config file.
An example
incise.edn file is included with this project as well as the
incise.edn file used to generate this website.
The easiest way to use incise is with the Leiningen. Make
incise.core your main by adding the following to your
:dependencies [[incise "0.4.0"]]
:aliases {"incise" ^:pass-through-help ["run" "-m" "incise.core"]}
Let's see what that gets us.
lein incise --help
All command line options can also be specified in your
incise.edn. For instance, if you want the default log level to be
:info instead of
;; In your incise.edn
:log-level :info
Which would be like running commands with the
--log-level info option.
lein incise --log-level info
The default method is to serve. This launches ring powered webserver which automatically parsers files and re-parses them when they are modified. It also launches an nREPL server so clients who want one do not need to startup a separate process to have it.
lein incise
# Or to be explicit
lein incise -m serve
You can also generate all content by parsing all parsable files in the input directory using the once command.
lein incise -m once
Finally, as mentioned above, you can use your configured deployment method.
lein incise -m deploy
Incise has been designed to be extensible. In order to make this extensibility as broad as possible there are five different types of extensions.
A parser:
Parsers are good for generating ouput files from input files. That sounds really vague, but that's because it could be used for many things. The most common usecase is generating HTML from an input file. For instance, there is a markdown parser which takes a markdown input file and generates and html file as a result.
A transformer:
Transformers are just functions that take a parse and return a parse (typically after making some change to it). They are an entirely optional feature that some parsers use when generating content (like adding layouts to HTML content). Transformers may be specified project wide via
parse-defaultsor per parse.
A once fixture:
A once fixture is used for wrapping
oncein with additional behaviour. For instance, if you want an asset pipleine like stefon, the
incise-stefonextension adds a once fixture for precompiling assets.
A middleware:
Middlewares for the development serving mode may also be extended.
incise-stefonuses this feature to add stefon's
A deployer:
Deployers are used for deploying a website. They often call
incise.once.core/onceto first generate the site into a directory. Those generated files are then deployed by whatever means your configurated deployer uses. A git branch based deployer is included in
You can read more about how extensions are found and used here on the extensibility page. This might be helpful if you are hoping to extend incise.
Default extensions
The following default parsers are available:
Included in
- copy – incise.parsers.impl.copy
- clj – incise.parsers.impl.clj
- html – incise.parsers.impl.html
As a separate package:
- incise-markdown-parser – incise.parsers.impl.markdown
git-branch deployer
The only deployer defined included in
incise is the
git-branch deployer. It makes deploying to github pages very easy.
Where are the tests?
incise package has no tests on its own since it is just a collection of extensions and
incise-core. So, there are no tests in this package but
incise-core is somewhat well speced out.
What's next?
I have been adding issues with ideas. Open an issues with your own ideas or contribute. I would love some feedback and/or collaboration!
If you find incise valuable and are feeling particularly generous you may send some BTC to the address below.
Insular s (ꞅ)
The s in incise logo is the insular s (ꞅ). It is sometimes found in Gaelic type.

Agree that legitimate Internet restrictions should not slide into illegitimate censorship
A key breakthrough emerging from a critical multi-stakeholder meeting held here on Tuesday on Internet censorship and legitimate state restrictions during crisis situations was that the government should itself use the Internet and social media to counter hate speech with comfort speech. Hate speech on social media has been blamed for triggering riots in Uttar Pradesh, Assam and Mumbai two weeks ago.
The participants, who included DoT Secretary R. Chandrashekhar, DG CERT-IN Gulshan Rai, representatives from Google, Facebook, Internet service providers (ISPs), mobile operators, civil society, technical community and media, said the government should partner with Internet companies, social media, ISPs and telcos (through bulk SMSs) to proactively fight fear emanating from rumours through reassuring communication.
FICCI has proposed the setting up of a Crisis Council consisting of telecom companies, ISPs, social media along with civil society and the community, with the ability to act swiftly in a crisis situation.
London example
Offering detailed examples of how the London police successfully used social media to counter riots, Google and Facebook offered to assist law enforcement agencies to similarly use the Internet for the protection of the public during times of crisis.
The discussions also led to an overwhelming consensus on the need to engage multi-stakeholder groups beyond the industry on the issue. Participants provided several benefits of such wide-ranging cooperation, including access to international practices and law, a user perspective, measures for the need for a threshold before crisis-related Internet blocking can be ordered and the need to bring in legally justified orders post blocking. To illustrate that mere blocking of content may not be the best method of combating hate speech, a suggestion was made to audit the effect of the blocking undertaken since mid-August in controlling the riots. It was felt that this information would be useful in guiding the government's strategy in similar crisis situations in the future.
Clarity on blocking
A third key agreement was the need for greater transparency and clarity on who can direct blocking, under what circumstances, and whether those whose sites have been blocked have recourse to redress.
Dr. Gulshan Rai explained the origins of some of the legal provisions in the IT Rules, pointing out that they had been based on inputs provided by the industry itself. He also highlighted that this was the first time that the government had blocked content which needed to be appreciated when evaluating its performance.
Welcoming the suggestions, particularly the need for greater cooperation and transparency, Mr. Chandrashekhar sought a "digest" of the inputs along with relevant global best practices for the consideration of the government, while giving an assurance that the government had no intention of censoring the Internet except in special circumstances and only under lawful provisions.
Some of the intermediaries sought a greater level of disclosure in the blocking orders as well as a need for the government to offer recourse to those whose content is blocked.
Mr. Chandrashekhar acknowledged the benefits of ongoing engagement with stakeholders, improved communication, increasing awareness and transparency to principally ensure that legitimate requirements to block content does not slide into illegitimate censorship.
The next set of discussions will be held on October 4-5 in an Internet governance conference with multi-stakeholder groups and several foreign experts on board on a range of issues, including cyber security and hate speech.

Dear All
Apologies for another thread on help desk software, however Ive been trawling through helpdesk software trials and need to implement a solution urgently. I wondered if anyone out there is using or could recommend help desk software that incorporates scanning of barcodes to log ticket requests against items that have already been added to the database.
Currently all our students and teaching staff (approx 1100) are issued with laptops, as you can imagine this keeps us rather busy. Typically are busiest times are during registration, break times and after school where there is a need to log calls quickly and efficiently thus wishing to use bar codes to achieve this.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks

Chris Christie is returning to the governor's mansion with a crushing victory in Tuesday's election. That was to be expected. What makes his win interesting is the fact that so many people who don't agree with him voted for him.
It's that kind of formula that Republicans are always looking for in a national candidate, and Christie's appeal with people who oppose his politics could have national implications.
The New York Times explains:
In a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by over 700,000, Mr. Christie won decisively, making impressive inroads among younger voters, blacks, Hispanics and women — groups that Republicans nationally have struggled to attract.
The governor prevailed, according to exit polls, despite holding positions contrary to those of many New Jersey voters on many issues, including same-sex marriage, abortion rights and the minimum wage, and despite an economic recovery that has trailed the rest of the country. But he attracted a broad coalition by campaigning as a decisive, even swaggering, leader who could reach across the aisle to solve problems, unlike the bickering politicians of Washington.

Medicine Doesn't Offer Any Guarantees
Jan Chait
February 19, 2008
Last week I called my family practice physician's office and asked for a prescription for oseltamivir phosphate (brand name Tamiflu) for myself. My husband had the flu and was taking it for treatment. However, it can also be taken as a preventative measure.
"Doc says he'll call in a prescription for you but to tell you that the best preventative is a flu shot," the nurse said when she called back.
"My husband—the one with the flu—had a flu shot," I responded.
There are no guarantees. You can get your flu shot and still get the flu. Or vice versa: You can skip your flu shot and not get the flu.
It's kind of like diabetes. How many of us know somebody who goes blissfully through life paying no attention to his or her diabetes and departs with nary a complication? My maternal grandmother, for example, had one toe amputated. That was it. She laid down to take a nap at the age of 98 years and 7 months and didn't wake up.
Actually, she did pay attention to her diabetes. She very carefully crushed a saccharin tablet over her large bowl of cereal in the morning, drank Tab (a diet soda), and ate ice milk instead of ice cream. Like many others in the days before home blood-glucose monitoring, she did the best she could with the tools and knowledge available in those days.
Dad had a half-brother who was about like my grandmother: He did the best he could. However, he left this world with a long list of complications. He was, I'll point out, from a different gene pool.
Perhaps that's what happens with those who do everything "right"—who weigh and measure their food, faithfully count carbs, balance food with medicine or insulin, exercise daily, plot graphs of their blood glucose (in other words, micromanage their diabetes)—and still get about every complication there is. Perhaps they're just in the wrong gene pool.
Know what I think about sometimes? What if companies begin to penalize people with diabetes who get complications? After all, we have all of those tools to "manage" diabetes. (I put "manage" in quotation marks because it frequently can be unmanageable, despite our best efforts. Not that all health-care professionals recognize that.)
At least one company where I live charges smokers an additional $1,000 per year for their health insurance co-pay. What if it—and other companies—begin to charge extra for people with diabetes who get complications?
Maybe the person's doctor wasn't up to snuff on diabetes care. Maybe the person is using everything available but can't overcome the influence of his genes. Maybe his insurance company fails to cover the necessary tools or doesn't cover a sufficient amount of, say, test strips. What if diabetes self-management education is either unavailable or not covered?
I can assure you that insurance companies don't always want to cover the cost of diabetes education, medicines, and supplies. I was one of the people who testified in favor of mandating diabetes coverage in my state and heard firsthand the testimonies from insurance companies and business groups who were against that coverage.
Studies have shown that good blood glucose control can lower the risk of complications, but that isn't the same as saying it will prevent complications. Do we give up? Nope. We do the best we can. It's difficult to keep up with diabetes care when the benefits are so far in the distance they can't be seen. One thing I keep telling myself is that I feel physically better when my glucose is in range as much as possible.
Besides, just like getting a flu shot—and the flu—there are no guarantees.
Studies have shown that good blood glucose control can lower the risk of complications, but that isn't the same as saying it will prevent complications.

When people said to Lord Keynes that his economic theory did not hold on the long run because of on going deficits. He answered that in the long run we are all dead. So I think that preventing complications leading to death is not practical but delaying complications is. The more so after having seen my brother's gangerened feet because of his poorly controlled diabetes in an old folks home.
