The West Overview
The West is a browser based game that's set in the American Wild West. New players begin their adventure with no cash or skills and must hit up the local salon for odd jobs to earn a living. A step by step tutorial teaches beginners how to duel, pick tobacco, and navigate the interface. Quests provide additional cash and skill points to customize your character. Each character has 4 stats, 20 skills and starts as the default Greenhorn class. At level 10, players chose between four class types, each with 4 archetypes. The classes are:
Adventurer - Trapper, Wanderer, Indian, Prospector
Dueler - Bounty Hunter, Gunslinger, Bandit, Hangdog
Worker - Cowboy, Quaker, Craftsman, Mortician
Soldier - Cavalryman, Mexican, Mercenary, Iroquois

The West Review
By, Erhan Altay
The West is the second browser game to be published by the German game publisher InnoGames. Their first title, Tribal Wars, is a medieval empire builder where players manage entire cities. The West takes a completely different approach and puts players in control of a single character trying to make a living in the American Wild West. Like most browser games, The West is thin on gameplay features and only requires short bursts of maintenance throughout the day.
Westward Ho!
Account creation in The West is a simple process requiring only a valid email address and inputting your preferred account name and password. Alternatively, players can log in using their OpenID username. I haven't read much about OpenID but the idea behind it seems practical, a shared login you can use across the internet. This is the first MMO I've seen that utilizes it but it may soon become the norm. There's no need to worry about character creation since all players start as the generic Greenhorn class with a somewhat goofy default avatar. The only thing to keep in mind while setting your account up is which of the 9 game worlds (servers) you're signing up on. Players can only have one character per server with no interaction between worlds.
Learning the Ropes
When players log in for the first time, they'll be greeted by Todd O'Reilly whose dialogue boxes serve as the game's tutorial. The main screen in The West is a map overview with links to six other locations on the right and left. New players are encouraged to follow the tutorial step by step to learn the game basics. The 'Quest' tab to the left takes players to the Saloon which has four NPCs to interact with. Henry Walker the barkeep is the first man to talk to since he has many tasks available for newbies. The first quest labeled introduction involves dueling a NPC. Duels are composed of eight rounds in which each participant performs one defensive and one offensive action per turn. These actions are selected prior to engaging and play out by themselves once the duel begins. The next step of the tutorial requires players to go pick some tobacco. It is here that the main gameplay element in The West is revealed — waiting. When you start picking tobacco, you'll have to wait for the timer to run its course before moving on to a new task. The rest of the tutorial goes on the explain other tasks such as "scaring of birds", "tending sheep" and "stream fishing" but each is identical to the other except with different skill requirements.
Of Stats and Skills
While appearance customization is nonexistent, players are free to customize their character's growth in a variety of ways. Each level players receive 3 skill points and a single stat point to distribute. Strength, Mobility, Dexterity and Charisma are the four stats and each strongly influences five skills which can be ranked up. Certain skills must be trained before taking part in certain activities, for example the skill 'swimming' is required before stream fishing. Besides gaining levels, which is a slow process in The West, players can gain additional skill points by completing quests. Because of both the cash rewards and bonus skill points at stake, I recommend going from one quest to the next. These quests are the only sense of direction in The West anyway so there's no point in ignoring them.
Earn Your Keep
The West is not the most complicated or impressive browser game available, it lacks a true graphic world to explore but the presentation is still much more appealing than text & image only games like Gladiatus and BiteFight. There is also quite a bit more depth to The West than most browser games. While all players start as the basic Greenhorn, they can chose from four new class types upon reaching level 10. Each class has its own advantages, for example the starter class has a 150% bonus to movement speed across the map. This is fortunate since the game requires quite a bit of running back and forth between tasks. It can be quite frustrating to be asked to pick some berries which are 20 minutes away. Luckily, the browser tab displays your most current timer so you can keep tabs on the game while browsing other sites. Free players can only queue one additional action which is helpful but still requires players to check in quite often if they want to keep progressing. Besides the ability to challenge other players to duels, the main late game attraction in The West is the ability to join or found your own player run city. Unfortunately, it is very difficult for free players to stay competitive with those willing to pay due to the range of premium benefits on offer.
The Rich Get Richer
Cash is the main in-game currency but players must spend real greenbacks to acquire nuggets, the game's premium currency. These nuggets are available for sale at a rate of 27 – 60 cents each depending on how many you order at a time. They can be ordered in amounts of 5, 10, 20, 40, and 100 with discounts given for larger purchases. Besides the standard payment methods including Paypal & credit cards, players can use their home phone or cellular text messages to buy nuggets. There are four premium bonuses available in The West, each costs 5 nuggets and lasts 14 days. Keeping all four bonuses active concurrently will run you about $10 a month and grant you the following benefits: 150 max energy (tasks cost energy), +50% energy regeneration, +2 queue slots, +50% wage increase, increased value of item rewards, +50% chance to find items, and twice your standard class bonus. Even with these heavy benefits, it is still possible to enjoy the game for free but balance does become an issue for competitive players. There are plenty of casual players that are willing to take things slow and even roleplay in-character on the official forums which can be quite hilarious to observe.
Final Verdict: Good
With detailed skill/stat distribution, varied class choices and a unique battle system, there is plenty to keep players interested in The West. The fact that most of your time will be spent moving from place to place doing mundane chores give the game a single player feel.

You are.Do you honestly think Oracle gives a crap about gaming in Virtualbox? do you honestly think that is their motivation and what their *paying" customers are after??? ~ hint: Oracle's business with Virtualbox is not gaming ~ that should be fscking obvious, dumb ass.
I never said that Oracle designed virtualbox for gaming. I never said that Oracle cares about gaming. I never said anything at all about the motivations of Oracles paying customers. I never said that Oracles business with virtualbox is gaming..... Those are -YOUR- words in the quote above. Not mine. Yours.
Next time you try to say that you didnt say something, maybe you should read what you wrote first. The next time you decide to call someone a moron, maybe you should look in the mirror. It's you that can't comprehend your own words.
If anybody here is a dumbass it's clearly you.
What I did say is that virtualbox doesnt need to be designed for gaming to have a virtual GPU that is capable of gaming. It doesnt need maximum performance, it just needs adequate performance.
EDIT: OK maybe I'm being harsh.. I think I'm probably getting flustered by a 14yo kid in jr high learning about computers from his math teacher that has heard about linux and thinks he knows what a GPU is.

You said what you wrote and then tried to put it so far out of context by making it sound as if I wrote what you said. Well, I didnt, you did. Those are you words not mine. You can take your quoting games and shove them right up your ass. You can continue to make statements and then take them out of context to make it sound as if I said them, but in the end it doesnt really matter. You wrote what you said. Not me.
and you can F.O with 'quoting games' - if i have quote mined, then please point that out and prove that it was an actual quote-mine and disingenuous. 2nd. I pretty much keep all of your sentences, but break them up to answer them in sections ~ that isn't a game, it's being organized and straight to the point. You claiming otherwise is nothing but BS. ..and your whole problem is you being on the defensive (glad you've admitted it now), it has caused you to completely distort / misconstrue anything that i have said to be making the claim that you made XYZ claim (which i never implied, that's all in your own head / your issue.).

Uveitis (u-ve-I-tis) is inflammation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye. The uvea consists of the iris, choroid and ciliary body. The choroid is sandwiched between the retina and the white of the eye (sclera), and it provides blood flow to the deep layers of the retina. The most common type of uveitis is an inflammation of the iris called iritis (anterior uveitis).
Infections, injury and autoimmune disorders may be associated with the development of uveitis, though the exact cause is often unknown.
Uveitis can be serious, leading to permanent vision loss. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent the complications of uveitis.

Northern Thai Chiang Rung Buddha 24" Item # 68t9a
Price: $595
Please take a minute and click here to tell us about your experience with Lotus Sculpture, our customer service and how you like your statue. We appreciate your feedback!
I bought a unique, one-of-a-kind statue from Lotus Sculpture which depict Krishna sitting sideways on a cow and playing his flute, while the cow has twisted her neck around so she can gaze up at him with loving eyes. It depicts a very touching moment. The cow's posture shows such love and devotion. I've never seen anything like it. The artistic balance between Krishna and the cow is wonderful, and Krishna is very well done, with a slight smile on his face as he plays his flute. It's the most remarkable statue of Krishna I've ever seen. In addition, the shipment was extremely prompt and a proper statement of value accompanied the statue. This has been a very good experience with Lotus Sculpture. --Maris WhitakerReviewer:Maris Whitaker (Boulder, Colorado, US)
Purchased a 19" painted Ganesha. It arrived last week and it is better than expected. It was very well packed. The colors are vibrant and the hues are perfect. I was afraid they might be garish in hand, but those fears were completely unfounded. Beautiful color palette. The carving is well detailed. It is a very handsome piece. I couldn't be happier with it In fact, I was so happy that I just finished purchasing a 36" painted Garuda. Once I saw the quality of the Ganesh I felt confident in purchasing a more expensive piece. And eagerly awaiting its arrival. Had I the money and the room, I would be in trouble.Reviewer:mark drazak (Cromwell, Connecticut, US)
A wonderful, efficient streamlined purchasing system at Lotus Sculpture. The sculpture purchased is in perfect condition and is quite beautiful.Reviewer:Madhurika (, Herts, GB)
This is the first time I bought a statue from Lotus Sculpture. It arrived the next day. Well packaged. It is a beautiful Ganesh hand made wooden statue. Suggestion: it would be nice if you could list on your website if the statues you get from India involve fair trade and fair labor. I am already looking on the website for my next purchase. Thank you for the great experience and importantly for making these beautiful pieces of art available for purchase in the US.Reviewer:Varun Khanna (Los Angeles, CA, US)
I've known about Lotus Sculpture from Hinduism Today magazine and from the testimonies of friends. His site is first rate and exhaustively documented with beautiful photographs, dimensions and descriptions. I appreciate the breadth of sculptures available be they of museum quality, bronzes or brasses, or as in my case, resin volcanic stone suitable for extreme weather and a more modest budget. It was a relief to know that I was going to be pleased when I opened the box to see professional grade rigid foam packing surrounding a thing of beauty.Reviewer:Nandi (oysterville, wa, US)
Excellent arrival time, packaging, quality of statue.Reviewer:Jennifer Metzger (Hatfield, MA, US)
I recieved my stone resin Buddha and I am pleased with the product. Its much heavier and more solid than what I thought it would be. I wasnt wanting a flimsy, easily breakable statue. Thanks.Reviewer:Rob (sheridan, wy, US)
I love the Nataraja . LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT POSE STATUES OF LORD SHIVA .Please let me know.Reviewer:Manjula (Ellicott City, MD, US)
the mouse is great says my daughter in little rock Arkansas for whom it was a birthday present. 4 stars instead of 5 because it did not arrive on the 24 feb as expected but on the 26. probably due to the bad weather in Arkansas, but still it was a bit of a disappointment. but I certainly will trade with you again! thanks janeReviewer:jane wolfe (woodstock, Vermont, US)

About Buddha
Brass statues from Thailand do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor use.
You can use soap, warm water and a cotton cloth to periodically go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup. If you are really interested in making the statue shine you can use some natural oil, like coconut oil or olive oil, and a cotton rag to wipe down the metal portions of the piece. You can use a toothbrush as well to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.
Thai brass's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. The metal can stand up to the harshest conditions of heat and bitter cold. We suggest you bathe the sculpture every couple of months so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture and then use a cotton cloth with some natural oil to give the statue a shine.
If you have any questions concerning your brass statue please email us at email@example.com or call us at 1(760) 994-4455.

Hi: 10° Lo:6°
By Dan Santy Wednesday 14 November 2012 Updated: 22/11 09:01
NEW plans for a radical pedestrianisation of the town centre have surfaced two years after they were shelved due to the high cost.
First touted in 2008, the scheme was intended to fully pedestrianise the roads around Church Street and North Street, creating a piazza area around the clock tower in a bid to make the town centre a more attractive shopping and leisure destination.
But in the face of costs of over £2 million, along with fears of traffic problems on roads used as diversions, the plans were put on hold two years ago for alternatives to be considered.
This time around, they are being proposed but with buses, taxis and bicycles still allowed to drive through what would be a single carriageway controlled by traffic lights.
The taxi rank would be moved to the east side of North Street near Evreux Way, while the bus stop outside William Hill would be sited next to the existing one on Church Street outside HSBC.
Improvements would be made to the gyratory to cope with the increased demand along Lawrence Sheriff Street, as well as new traffic calming measures on Park Road, Manor Road, Lancaster Road and Wood Street.
The changes would slash the previous costs in half to around the £1 million mark.
But the scheme is still not without its controversies. If carried out as suggested, it would mean Rugby's street market would have to be moved, along with a likely increase in traffic from Clifton Road diverting through Rugby's independent shopping quarter on Regent Street.
Sustainable Rugby chairman, Coun Neil Sandison, said: "We're pleased on the whole, but we're still not happy that extra traffic will be diverted along Rugby's independent shopping quarter.
"It's always been said niche shopping should be the attractive thing about coming to Rugby. But if the amount of traffic stops people going to the independent shops, it could badly damage trade in the town centre."
Instead Sustainable Rugby is proposing opening up the whole of Albert Street to two-way traffic. As a wider road with direct access to the John Barford car park, this would make more sense according to the pressure group.
On the need to move the market, Coun Sandison said: "I doubt the street traders will like it. But it doesn't mean Rugby has to lose its street market, and we wouldn't want to."
He went on to suggest the market could be moved further up to where Sheep Street and Chapel Street meet.
Coun Sandison added it could help increase the number of people on Chapel Street, and in turn encourage more businesses to set up in some of the empty units there.
If given the green light, the pedestrianisation would be jointly funded by Rugby Borough and Warwickshire County councils.
A public consultation exercise will take place over the coming months.

Carmelo Anthony, Knicks start fast before holding off slumping Lakers
NEW YORK -- Sensing a fellow shooter had become gun shy, Kobe Bryant had a message for Carmelo Anthony last summer.
Ignore the critics, he said. Stop worrying about fitting in and get back to a scorer's mentality.
"You have to do what you do best," Bryant told him.
More Lakers-Knicks Coverage
Carmelo Anthony was a man possessed Thursday night. The only thing that could stop him was his sprained left ankle, Ian O'Connor writes. Story

The Lakers are losing because they have injuries, they don't fit together and they haven't found a symbiosis with their coach, Brian Windhorst writes. Dime

There certainly are things to be troubled by if you're a Lakers fan, but there are attainable solutions to some of the problems, Dave McMenamin writes. Story
• Rapid Reaction
• Lakers Blog | ESPN Los Angeles
That's what Anthony did in a spectacular first quarter Thursday night, and by the time he was done, Bryant and the struggling Los Angeles Lakers had no hope of ending their slump.
Anthony scored 22 of his 30 points in the period, and the New York Knicks held on after he departed with a sprained left ankle to beat the Lakers 116-107 in coach Mike D'Antoni's return to Madison Square Garden.
"I was zoned in. I was locked in," Anthony said. "Tonight was one of those games where I had that feeling. I wanted to get it going and I had that feeling going early in the game. My teammates were feeding off of that."
Firing in 3-pointers and moving the ball to open shooters, things they often struggled to do under D'Antoni, the Knicks won for the eighth time in nine games and improved to 9-0 at home for the first time since the 1992-93 season.
"I wanted to beat them. I wanted to beat the Lakers, especially protecting our home court," Anthony said. "It had nothing to do with Mike. I wanted to protect our home court and win the basketball game."
Meanwhile, things are starting as poorly for D'Antoni in Los Angeles as they ended in New York. The Lakers, without Steve Nash and Pau Gasol, were never really in the game while losing their fourth straight and falling to 9-14.
Nash has started running and the Lakers know things will get better once he's back, but that doesn't help right now.
"At this point, I wish we had the Washington Generals on our schedule," Bryant said.
They're playing Washington on Friday, but it's the Wizards.
Raymond Felton scored 19 points, and Tyson Chandler and J.R. Smith added 18 apiece for the Knicks.
Bryant had 31 points and 10 rebounds for the Lakers. Metta World Peace finished with 23 points and Dwight Howard had 20.
The Lakers did cut what was a 26-point deficit to 113-107 when World Peace converted a three-point play with 1:27 remaining, but the Knicks took more than a minute off the clock while twice grabbing offensive rebounds on the next possession before Chandler made a free throw with 18 seconds to play.
Anthony, playing at an MVP level after he struggled last season under D'Antoni, made his first three 3-pointers, nearly reaching his NBA-leading average of 9.7 points per first quarter before 2 1/2 minutes were even gone. Bryant tried to keep pace but the Knicks couldn't be stopped, making 17 of 23 shots (74 percent) and building a 41-27 advantage.
Melo Makes Knicks Go
Carmelo Anthony had a team-high 30 points in 23 minutes vs. the Lakers, and the Knicks were far more efficient when he played. Here's how the Knicks fared with Melo on and off the floor:

"He's fun to watch when he's playing like that," Chandler said. "He's pretty much unstoppable when he's playing that way."
Anthony finished two shy of the franchise record for points in a quarter, held by Willis Reed and Allan Houston. And he was easily on pace to pass Bryant's building record of 61 points, though he didn't even get halfway there after playing just 5 minutes in the second half.
Anthony said his ankle felt sore and he didn't know if he would be available Saturday against Cleveland.
When it was over, D'Antoni shook hands with Mike Woodson, who replaced him on the New York bench, and a couple of Knicks players before walking off after another rocky night with the Lakers.
He's often been considered an offensive genius whose teams are poor defensively, but right now the Lakers don't really look good on either end.
The Knicks made 22 of their first 30 shots overall and started 8 of 10 behind the arc. Even when the Lakers tried to defend, it didn't work. Howard batted the ball away from Rasheed Wallace in the post, so Wallace simply retrieved it in the corner, buried a 3-pointer, and the lead ballooned to 58-32.
"We are having a re-occurring theme that the first quarter is just not good, and then the first half is not great and in the second half we seem to turn it on, and we need to solve that problem real quick," D'Antoni said.
It was 68-49 at the break, but the Knicks lost some of their flow when Anthony went to the locker room with 6:41 left in the third quarter and a 17-point lead. He had landed awkwardly after being fouled by Howard on a drive to the basket, and though he was able to stay in to shoot the free throws, Anthony was removed at the next whistle.
D'Antoni was booed loudly during pregame introductions, Knicks fans who appreciated the rugged defensive teams of the 1990s never truly embracing his offense-first style. D'Antoni said he enjoyed his time in New York and said earlier Thursday the Knicks, who lead the NBA in 3-pointers per game and fewest turnovers, were playing the way he'd like his team to play.
Sure enough, they made 12 3-pointers, right at their average, and turned it over just six times.
D'Antoni couldn't get the Knicks' offense going last season and tensions between he and Anthony seemed strained, though both denied it, when he resigned in March with the team threatening to fall out of the playoff race. The Knicks went 18-6 down the stretch under Woodson, who said he has kept aspects of D'Antoni's system while adding in some wrinkles of his own.
The result is a team that has shot to the top of the Eastern Conference with a 17-5 record.
Game notes
The Knicks opened a six-game homestand. They don't play on the road again until they visit the Lakers on Christmas. ... New York has won the last two meetings after dropping nine in a row. ... D'Antoni said he spent his off day in town visiting with his wife and son, who remained in New York after he took the Lakers job last month.

History and Politics at the University of Stirling offers students comprehensive undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes in the academic disciplines of History and Politics. All of our degree programmes are internationally recognised and fully accredited, and our students are taught and supervised by experts in their respective fields of study. Our web pages feature a wealth of information about our staff, students and courses. They are intended to help you understand both the general character of the subjects and the day-to-day aspects of our organisation and intellectual life.
History and Politics comprises two academic disciplines and a diverse team of dedicated scholars to offer an internationally-recognised and wide-ranging programme of teaching and research in the disciplines of History and Politics.We offer single honours programmes in History, Scottish History, Politics, and International Politics, as well as a wide range of combined honours degrees. At Stirling students can also pursue degrees in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (known as PPE), or History, Politics and Professional Education.
We encourage innovative approaches and interdisciplinary collaborations across a range of topics and research areas, with Research Centres in Environmental History, Scottish Studies, and Human Security and European Neighbourhood Studies. We also run a highly successful commercial research and training unit, History Tomorrow. Our scholars are all research-active and share their insights and expertise in the classroom, meaning that students have a broad choice of subjects from undergraduate level onwards. Our undergraduate programmes involve a gradual progression towards Honours level, with students sampling broad themes and fresh approaches early on, before narrowing down to areas tailored to their interests. Final-year students here typically undertake a year-long dissertation working with original sources, and can expect close supervision. Our diverse and inclusive graduate community includes individuals pursuing research degrees, working closely with expert advisers (M.Res. and Ph.D.) and classes of students taking on taught programmes (including our popular M.Sc. in International Conflict and Co-operation). Together, History & Politics constitutes a collegial community that is breaking down boundaries and will prepare you for future challenges, in the workplace and the wider world.
The staff in History and Politics are friendly and approachable, enthusiastic about their research, and supportive of their students. They aim to provide high quality research-led teaching, not through the simple transmission of facts and figures, but by fostering a climate of self-improvement and encouraging students to seek out and tackle problems using their own initiative and resources. Lecturers and course tutors lay the foundations for this study in their teaching, bringing their own expertise to the lecture halls and seminars, and presenting models of interpretation in a stimulating fashion - using varied media and diverse teaching styles (including lectures, seminars, debates, field trips, quizzes, and so on). They aim to be supportive of and attentive to student needs, and offer guidance on a host of issues ranging from giving five-minute presentations to writing ten-thousand word dissertations.
The School administrative staff are among the best in the business, and ready to assist with any queries you might have relating to module handouts, essay submission, special requirements, and so on.
The transition to studying at university brings different challenges for different individuals. Those that perform best tend to find a suitable balance between their academic commitments and their other activities, work hard at their preparation and participation in classes, and above all are willing to engage with new subjects and ideas with an open mind and a willingness to learn. Since the process of gaining skills is a collaborative venture, we censure plagiarism and low attendance, but commend good practice and look to identify improvements over the course of the programme. Whatever your background and ability, we expect you to demonstrate dedication and energy, to interact with the ideas and individuals around you, and to benefit from the pattern of progression.
In accordance with the University's mission statement we aim to:
History and Politics graduates have consistently experienced success in obtaining satisfying employment. According to Unistats 2014, 85% of our graduates have been in work or further study within six months of completing their degree. Recent graduates have secured posts with the Halifax, Mercedes Benz, the Prudential and Scottish Power. Other employers include the National Portrait Gallery, the Office of National Statistics and the Borders General Hospital. One of our graduates from an earlier date is John Reid, Baron Reid of Cardowan, who held as many as eight cabinet offices.
We take pains to encourage students to acquire the skills of analysing and solving complex problems. In the final year they undertake an original research project which nurtures the self-managemernt and organisational qualities that employers value. Students also gain the ability to argue a persuasive case, whether in print or in oral discussion. Such critical thinking combined with the ability to communicate stands them in good stead when applying for jobs. Each year we send a number of students on the study abroad programme which takes them to the United States, Europe or Australia. The Division provides opportunities for undergraduates to spend time working in the university archives or else in the Scottish Political Archives, housed within the Division, which contain the papers of such figures as Lord McConnell, a former First Minister of Scotland and another Stirling graduate.

Long data processing in Windows phone periodic task / Background Agent
But still I prefer Handing potentially long running periodic tasks on Windows Phone
Long data processing in Windows phone periodic task / Background Agent
But still I prefer Handing potentially long running periodic tasks on Windows Phone
How to handle Data storage on Periodic Tasks and App termination
may it be a Task or an App being terminated, the same rule applies. We have just a few seconds to save anything that we need to save. So the article would be interesting for both scenarios
João Cardoso
Joined DVLUP yet? This is my DVLUP referral link
To my knowledge you are not guaranteed to get 25 seconds of time when being invoked as a Periodic Task, rather every 30 minutes Windows Phone runs the available Periodic Tasks for a total of 25 seconds. So your task might get run after another task that already consumed some of the alotted time which would mean that you don't save your progress if you're waiting for the end of the time slot to do so.
Also hard coding those "system constants" into your App isn't the best idea anyway because it is entirely possible that they will change in the future (e.g. 10 seconds every 15 minutes or something like that).
Could you link some related documentation?
Just general thinking: background agents are supposed to actually do something. If the OS shuts them down at random times, like after a second, and re-start from scratch say 4 minutes later, that would render them completely unusable. Added that there is no notifications about these happenings.
So looking at the titles
* Handing potentially long running periodic tasks on Windows Phone
* How to manage periodic tasks in Windows Phone
Either of these are OK. I would expect the first to have a focus on the problem case of the periodic task not completing and the second to cover all aspects of using periodic tasks (at which point you might call it "Periodic Tasks on Windows Phone"). So which to use depends on how general the topic would be - obviously I'd like the second but it is harder to write.
Joao's suggestion:
* How to Manage Data storage on Periodic Tasks and App termination
What I don't like about this is that data storage is what we do to ensure safe sending of data - so we have a title that talks about a solution but not a problem (ie why do we need to save data). Also we're looking at device power off as a case too.
What I do like about it is that it covers a smaller scope - you don't need to concentrate so much on the periodic task aspect of calling NotifyComplete because this topic is more about guaranteeing you know what data has been sent and that you still have backup even if the app or device is shut down.
How about
* "How to safely store transient data during Periodic Tasks"
* "Storing transient data across Periodic Tasks on Windows Phone"
* ?
Note, this is not the topic currently written about on wiki but IMO this article premature based on SB_Dev's comments. There might well be 2 topics here. I would hope Joao might write the one on his solution?
This blog states "They can be set to run as often as 30 minutes, but that time may drift by as much as 10 minutes. They may not run every cycle, depending on how busy the operating system is. They'll be terminated if they run longer than 25 seconds, but may be terminated sooner if the operating system decides it needs to."
Even though I doubt your suspicion that all task run in the 25 second period, and I suspect that real world testing would show that in most cases they would run like clockwork, your key point is still valid - as a developer you can't assume how much time you've got or that you'll be called at all. Hard coding is therefore not smart.
What are our options then - from the beginning of the thread it sounded like there would be problems if you don't call NotifyComplete, but what is your choice here since in theory there is no way to know a safe time to call it? Can you call it early after each bit is processed or will that prematurely end your execution?
What is very clear is that you can never assume that all data is saved/sent or that any processing is done. So if it is important that the data be saved (as in a "data send to server" scenario) this needs to be managed. I think that is a separate article that Joao could? write? Aspect of calling NotifyComplete might be added towards end.
So do we know what happens if you don't call NotifyComplete() ? If this is not really a problem then you'd ignore this task unless you're really complete, and otherwise just follow some strategy like Joao's to be fault tolerant.
as stated here the notifyComplete method "should" be implemented only to tell the system that it's done and can go allow resources to other background agents
When your Scheduled Task code has completed, you should call NotifyComplete() to let the operating system know that you no longer need to execute. This allows the operating system to attempt to schedule other agents.
Thank you. Great to know. Vinay is still working on the article but I think it is pretty clear what it should look like now.
How_to_manage_long_running_Periodic_Tasks is now complete. Can you guys please scan it for technical accuracy.
It is now simpler and almost code free (since I think code would be use-case specific). It captures both the stated unreliability of the task and also that anecdotally they are reliable. It makes clear that for robust code if a task MUST complete that the correct strategy is to save tasks in Isolated Storage and only remove them when done.
Thanks Vinay for your work and patience - and especially for validating that the tasks are indeed "mostly" reliable on Lumia 920.
