Bose® IE2 audio headphones
" Update: Reduced design rating due to ever-tangling cable. The cable is MADE with some type of built-in twisting/tangling design flaw. Just holding the headphones in my hand, the cable wants to twist and turn and due to its material, it's never fully "straightened out" like most other headphone cables. Due to this, it's become unusable. I've owned the original Bose IEs and now bought these..." --xx0xx

Fabulous House! Fabulous Time!
There is nothing like waking up to the sunrise each morning, listening to the surf, watching for dolphins, walking the beach and swimming in the warm ocean.
Vilano 180 and Aunt Kate's are highly recommended for good and affordable meals. Sunsets at Aunt Kate's are beautiful as well. So much to do in St. Augustine, we recommend the Victory III cruise on the Matanzas River from the St. Augustine Pier, just South of the Bridge of Lions.
Our whole family, including 3 teenagers look forward to the chance to return.

Absolutely awesome!
Great location that is just a short drive to St. Augustine, only a couple miles to Publix and yet very private and peaceful. The house was very clean and well furnished. The owner checked with us to make sure everything met our expectations and remained readily available throughout our stay.
We cannot wait to return for another fabulous vacation!
AGAIN, A Perfect Vacation
It is so convenient to downtown St Augustine. It is spotless, fresh smelling, has comfortable beds, is nicely furnished, and well equipped. Faye is a dream to work with, easy to talk to, and very accommodating. The deck is expansive, offers privacy by large dunes on both sides of the house, and a beautiful walkway right down to the beach where we always find many shells. This is mostly a residential area so the beach is never crowded. The best beach house we have ever stayed!!! Thanks, Faye.

Wonderful Beach front Home
Beach Celebration
From the Owner
"I love the ocean and the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. We have a special area in front of the house that is low and causes the waves to be great for surfing. We are in a nice area, yet close to all the sites and shopping. Vilano is just over the bridge from downtown so you can opt out of the busy rush or go to a nice downtown festival or see the Christmas lights with just a short ride."
Activity and Interests
St Augustine is the nation's ' Oldest City ' with many attractions such as Fountain of Youth, Ripley's Believe It or Not, Wax museum, Spanish Fort, Lighthouse, Alligator Farm and not far from the World Golf Village, Sawgrass where TPC is held each year, Disney and Sea World is approx 2 hours south, Cape Kennedy is approx 1 hour south and Marineland with numerous children's programs is 30 mints south. Fishing is some of the best Florida has to offer. Watch the Sea Turtles nest in your back yard each summer and the babies leave each fall. You won't find a better spot to relax and soak in the sun. TPC course and Mayo Clinic is only approx 30 - 35 mints north on A1A ( Coastal Highway)

Laos to Consume More Fuel
Laos to consume more fuel
HANOI, Aug. 12 (Xinhua) — Laos, using over 480 million liters of gasoline and diesel last year, is estimated to consume 220 million liters of gasoline and 300 liters of diesel in 2010, Lao newspaper Vientiane Times reported Tuesday.
Laos is also forecast to use more than 400 million liters of gasoline and over 600 million liters of diesel in 2020, the newspaper quoted Bouathep Malaykham, director of the Electricity Department under the country's Ministry of Energy and Mines, as saying.
The Lao government has encouraged people to reduce their fuel consumption and support the production of alternative fuel.
Laos has plenty of land available for growing jatropha plants and palm trees which can be used to produce bio-diesel, the newspaper said.

Publisher: Princeton University Press
This is an eTextbook Learn More
Most anyone interested in such topics as creation mythology, Jungian theory, or the idea of "secret teachings" in ancient Judaism and Christianity has found "gnosticism" compelling. Yet the term "gnosticism," which often connotes a single rebellious movement against the prevailing religions of late antiquity, gives the false impression of a monolithic religious phenomenon. Here Michael Williams challenges the validity of the widely invoked category of ancient "gnosticism" and the ways it has been described. Presenting such famous writings and movements as the Apocryphon of John and Valentinian Christianity, Williams uncovers the similarities and differences among some major traditions widely categorized as gnostic. He provides an eloquent, systematic argument for a more accurate way to discuss these interpretive approaches.
The modern construct "gnosticism" is not justified by any ancient self-definition, and many of the most commonly cited religious features that supposedly define gnosticism phenomenologically turn out to be questionable. Exploring the sample sets of "gnostic" teachings, Williams refutes generalizations concerning asceticism and libertinism, attitudes toward the body and the created world, and alleged features of protest, parasitism, and elitism. He sketches a fresh model for understanding ancient innovations on more "mainstream" Judaism and Christianity, a model that is informed by modern research on dynamics in new religious movements and is freed from the false stereotypes from which the category "gnosticism" has been constructed.

This guy doesn't have major league stuff. Injured or not...lets cut our losses or just endure losses. I am so distraught.
This guy doesn't have major league stuff. Injured or not...lets cut our losses or just endure losses. I am so distraught.
I really don't blame him for that home run last night. I forget who the batter was but Majewski really did strike him out 3 times but the ump was blind as a bat.
Most Vottomatic Player
i agree with degenrate10. Those pitches were strikes or close enough to them i do no kno how delucci did not swing. Let's remember he's only a year removed from being injured give him time. You just can't throw the guy away after what we traded for him.
He had an injury that in its mild form takes less than 5 months to rehab and be back to normal.
He should be healed by now.
If he is not, then it is only a matter of time before his shoulder blows up and his is out for 6-9 months or forever.
More likely, this is as good as he is going to get. What you see is what you get, and it is not going to get the job done at this level of play.
I have had that injury, had it surgically repaired and endured the rigorous rehab.
I agree with those who say cut him loose. It may even put some teeth into the contention and filing that we got damaged goods in the trade. As long as he is being used in the ML rotation how can you squawk? If you release him and no one else picks him up, then
I don't agree that he doesn't have major league stuff. I don't know quite what the problem is, but I did watch closely his first outing after he came back from Louisville. That inning he was throwing 94, what I think was probably a two-seam cut fastball, and moving it way in on right handers. That's major league stuff.
When i cringe when i see who's coming in from the bullpen
thats when we need to cut a guy loose. Of course that
wont happen because WK will make sure of it. Whatever
his stuff is or is not, can he get batters out? Thats all that
matters. The answer is NO
well 2 nites ago he got big double play last nite he should of struck out delucci so i'd say he can get a few guys out
He will be ok, he is throwing harder than he did all of last year so its just a matter of location. Last night he was being squeezed and thats what caused the HR.
When I see the 2015 Reds, I see a 100 loss team.
Why cut him loose? It's not like we have that much coming up behind him, and its not like we have anything to play for this season. He was an expensive get, lets see if he pans out in the long run.
Not sure I'd write off 2007 yet, as improbable as that sounds. This division is not very good, just like last year--something that made Krivsky and others think we had a chance, which, in fact, we did, even though the club was not very good. There are slow but steady signs of improvement in this team lately, and right now a rotation of Harang, Arroyo, Lohse, Bailey, Belisle is pretty good. The bullpen too is getting a little better. The process is slow and painful but the improvement is real. I think you keep Majewski because he's got wicked stuff. It's just a matter of time with him, IMHO.
yeah just a matter of time, why in the next eon he should be fine
My confidence in McBeth on the mound > Majewski on the mound.
McBeth's confidence in himself to get MLB hitters out > than Majewski's self confidence.
Not to be negative, but it just looks like he is expecting to get tatooed out there. I have never seen a less confident pitcher on the mound as far as his demeanor.
"YES! He rips it. Is it high enough? It's gonna be gone! Adam Dunn has done it again. Big #44 can take all day to round the bases here, thats done and gone- lookout dunner they're waitin for ya at home plate." - George Grand
"Did that just happen?" - Chris Welsch

Aldo is sick!
WEC 44 "Brown vs Aldo" live tonight, Nov. 18 from form The Pearl at the Palms Casino in Las Vegas, NV. The televised portion of the event starts at 9pm EST on the cable channel Versus.
WEC 44 Videos Here
Aldo is sick!
agreed. aldo is impressive.
My prediction is that Aldo will be called top P4P fighter in the world within the next couple of years. Brown was a top ten in everyones books. But Aldo not only handled him but he counters with head kicks. I've seen good counter punchers but Aldo is so fast he counters with head kicks. He's legit.
ya that was some amazing domination. maybe they will let brown pound out manny to get back into title contention. i couldnt believe how aldo not oly outstruck him but it seem like he bullied him aswell. crazy and i would love to see uriah vs aldo.
wow jose aldo is like a mini anderson silva seriously only 23 that kid is amazing
Well, good call George. Not the way I thought they would end.
were the f**k was Mike Brown? He never showed up lastnight!! atleast not the the Mike Brown that wooped Faber ass!!!!!!!!
i thought brown was doing good untill he slipped and got his back on the ground then ALdo jump all over him
Mike Brown showed up…..he just fought a better fighter. Aldo is SICK!!!!

Soliciting feedback on metal stand for corner install
2 Attachment(s)
Im planning for an outdoor corner install of a Casa2G90 stove. After much consideration of masonry vs. metal stand, I decided to try to design a metal stand. Im not a metalworker, though I am a woodworker with friends who weld. At least they are friends for now.
So I put together a design and Im hoping to get some feedback from the forum. I know there are quite a few people out there who have built their own metal stands and Id appreciate any advice you might have.
A few notes about the materials:
Thanks for your help,

Need to know: Unhappy bankersStrange jobsGoldman dress code
Australian mid-market private equity firm Mercury Capital has bought communications and printing specialist Blue Star Group New Zealand alongside Tiri Group, a vehicle of Blue Star's former managing director Tom Sturgess.
Mr. Sturgess, who was a controlling shareholder before Champ Private Equity's December 2006 purchase of a majority stake in Blue Star, will assume the role of executive chairman.
"Blue Star is a very good business, holding outstanding long-term relationships with its customers, a very strong management team, and highly committed and skilled employees," Mercury Capital chief executive Clark Perkins told Deal Journal Australia.
While the Melbourne Cup stole most of the spotlight Tuesday, Australian private equity firms were busy deal-making.
CHAMP Private Equity has entered into a signed purchase agreement to sell Blue Star Group's Australian operations, people familiar with the matter said.
Blue Star's Australian operations – which include a web printing division which publishes magazines, prospectuses, annual reports and catalogues and a sheet-fed printing unit with production facilities in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra and Brisbane — will be bought by a consortium including Wolseley Private Equity and CaxtonWeb, one of the people said.
Champ Private Equity has appointed Goldman Sachs New Zealand to sell communications group Blue Star, a person familiar with the matter said.
Blue Star, whose bonds are listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange at 1.4 cents to the dollar, announced the sale of its label manufacturer Rapid Labels to Tiri Group on July 6 for an undisclosed sum.
"Sale proceeds have been applied principally to reduce Blue Star's bank debt," the company said in a statement.
Earlier, on June 29, the group announced it had the support of senior lenders for a review focusing on the sale of all or parts of the business.

Leader of Opposition in the Legislative Council, Vinod Tawde on Wednesday said that the Union Rural Development Minister Gopinath Munde would lead the campaign of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the forthcoming assembly elections. Tawde, however, refused to be drawn into the possible chief ministerial aspirants for the state.
Addressing media persons on Wednesday, Tawde refused to answer question on whether state BJP president Devendra Fadnavis would be the chief ministerial candidate saying, "After the poll results, the party's parliamentary board will decide who will be the leader of BJP legislature party." Though Tawde said that Munde would be leading the campaign, he did not say that Munde would be the chief ministerial candidate.
On seat sharing, Tawde said that the members of the new alliance partners and the BJP-Shiv Sena would sit together to decide on the sharing of seats for the assembly elections. Meanwhile, Shiv Sena president Uddhav Thackeray said that his party men wanted him to be the chief minister and has also indicated that the Shiv Sena will be staking claim for the post of the chief minister if the saffron alliance comes to power. This is not all, even MNS plans to project Raj Thackeray as its chief ministerial candidate and run a campaign the way BJP did for Narendra Modi.
Tawde also demanded action against policmen who lathi-charged villagers in Osmanabad district. Tawde said police brutally hit villagers after pulling them out of their houses that night on Tuesday, after a scuffle with the villagers. According to Tawde, local women had caught a bootlegger red-handed and called the police to arrest him, but the police, instead of taking action, manhandled the women, which led to angry reaction from the villagers.

This B&B is in the best area of Palermo!. Allot of nice cozy bars and cafes within 2 minutes from the BB. The rooms are fresh, brand new, a bit to modern for my taste. But I guess most people will like it. Be aware that Palermo Hotels/BB are more expansive than other citys on the island ( so says th owner ). 2 things that could improve to my opinion. 1. Quality of coffee and the breakfast ( we skipped it ) 2. The rainshower did not work well. ( guess its a quality issue )Read More

What We Know-Pope Benedict's Resignation
In stunning news, Pope Benedict XVI announced Monday morning from the Vatican that he will resign his position as head of the Catholic Church, effective on February 28. This has already set off a flurry of speculation, largely because no pope has voluntarily done so since the year 1415.
The news is still coming in, but here's what we know so far:
New Movies: 'Warm Bodies,' 'Bullet to the Head' and 'Stand Up Guys'
It's Super Bowl weekend, traditionally not a huge one at theaters, but this weekend sees three new films all going for different audiences. One is a supernatural-teen tale reminiscent of 'Twilight,' the next brings a longtime action star in for another round, and the last is crime story featuring three very fine actors.
Student Shot at Atlanta Middle School
A 14-year-old student at Price Middle School in Atlanta was shot in the head or neck on Thursday afternoon. The student was taken to the hospital; his condition has not been officially released, but reports say that he is alert, conscious and breathing.
Gunman Shoots and Kills Bus Driver, Holds 6-Year-Old Hostage in Bunker
On Tuesday afternoon, a man in Dale County, Alabama, near Midland City, got on a school bus, demanded a child be let off with him, then shot and killed the bus driver when he refused. The shooter, identified as Jimmy Lee Dykes, then took the boy from the bus and is currently holed up with him in an underground bunker nearby.
New Movies: 'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters,' 'Movie 43′ and 'Parker'
Women Will Soon Be Allowed to Serve in Ground Combat
Does the NRA's Ad Featuring Obama's Children Go Too Far?
President Calls for Assault-Weapon Ban, Stronger Background Checks
New Movies: 'Zero Dark Thirty,' 'Gangster Squad' and 'A Haunted House'

The growing intersection between Hollywood and the fashion industry was evident on July 19 as TV academy members, design students and all out fashionistas came together at downtown Los Angeles' Fashion Institute of Design and & Merchandising for the opening of the school and the Academy's annual Outstanding Art of Television Costume Design exhibit.
The costume design series and miniseries-movie Emmy categories tend to focus on period and fantasy programs -- and the event itself was also was a chance to celebrate "Mad Men's" Janie Bryant and "Once Upon a Time's" Eduardo Castro on their Emmy nominations -- but costume designer Mary Rose, who curated the showcase, said the items she chose to put on display were more about programs she liked.
"I am not just showing what the nominations did this year ... enough is enough," said Rose. "There are a lot of things that are much more interesting and meaningful ... This year's nominees, as a Governor of the Television Academy, I was so miffed. I couldn't believe it. 'Boardwalk'? Enough is enough, I say. I mean it's not 'Sopranos.' ... I thought maybe we should have seminars on those costume designers so they know which is good and bad."
"Downton Abbey" is the only nominated series and "American Horror Story: Coven" is the only nominated miniseries or movie on display at the exhibit, which also highlights "Breaking Bad," "Portlandia," "True Detective," "Castle," "Pretty Little Liars" and other shows that are set in the modern day.
#Castle costumes on display at @FIDM & @TelevisionAcad's designer party cc @shellidw http://t.co/mgqOQpmamo--"Once Upon a Time's" Castro, who had previously received nominations for the non-period dramedy "Ugly Betty," understands these concerns as well.
Whitney Friedlander (@loislane79) July 19, 2014
"They're the showiest," he said in regards to the abundance of period and fantasy nominees. "What happens is you kind of neglect the great modern pieces like 'Orange is the New Black,' which I think is a beautifully designed show but they don't get recognized because they're not big flashy pieces. It's subtle. And it's not only an issue with the Television Academy, it's an issue with the film academy, of which I'm members of both ... I wish they had separate categories because some of the modern shows they've done are so amazing and some of the simple shows; shows like the 'The Killing' that are very subtle and the textures all work, they don't get recognized. They say, 'oh, anybody can do that.'"
(Costumes on display from "Orange Is the New Black")
I would like all the flapper dresses please. @FIDM @TelevisionAcad #DowntonAbbey http://t.co/LP3uoPFxs2--Bryant, as well as "Pretty Little Liars'" costume designer Mandi Line, has been successful offscreen by lending their names and skills to fashion brands. Would Castro be interested in doing the same? He hints that he's been approached and says "we'll see."
Whitney Friedlander (@loislane79) July 19, 2014
On the other hand, replicas of jewelry designer Andrew Price's glittery headpieces, necklaces and earrings worn by Ladies Mary and Edith on "Downton" can be drooled over (and, if one desires) purchased from the museum's gift shop.
"I'm more like a jewelry historian," the designer said of the research involved in creating the accessories worn by the Crawley clan and their associates. "When you're doing things for a specific person, take for example the Dowager, the jewelry's in fact got to be correct for the age of the person -- not the clothes. With an older person, the jewelry would have been bought 20 or 30 years before that. I'll say this is in fact the right jewelry for this age, in regards to the cut of stones and things like that. I'm very picky. It's got to be right."
The FIDM-housed exhibit is free and open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday from July 22 to September 20.

Lots of talk about using technology to spread information quickly and more cost effectively (particularly using mobile apps, like using smart phones to reduce corruption)
They also spoke highly of the newly announced "plant doctor" concept, which essentially broadens the national extension network to an international network (nice for us).
Finally they talked about the importance of diaspora contributing to their homeland, which bodes well with our discussion on east African immigrants.

An infrastructure that allows applications to run with specified versions of dependent assemblies, wherein each assembly may exist and run side-by-side on the system with other versions of the same assembly being used by other applications. An application provides a manifest to specify any desired assembly versions on which it is dependent. Similarly, each assembly may have an assembly manifest that specifies the versions of assemblies on which it is dependent. During an initialization phase, an activation context is created for the application, based on the manifests, to map version independent names to a particular assembly version maintained on the system. While the application is in a running phase, for any globally named object that the application wants created, the activation context is accessed to locate the application's or assembly's manifest-specified version. The manifests and activation context constructed therefrom thus isolate an application from assembly version changes.
1. A computer-implemented method for allowing a software application to run using a specified version of one or more shared assemblies, wherein the specified version of the one or more shared assemblies used in the application is not compiled in the executable files of the application, the method comprising:
accessing a manifest, the manifest comprising a software data file including metadata describing applications' dependencies on assembly versions, the manifest being stored in non-volatile storage and being associated with an application that is configured to load specified versions of one or more assemblies upon initiation;
building an activation context based on the accessed manifest, wherein the activation context comprises a table of contents that maps global, version independent names to a specified version of at least one of the one or more assemblies that are indicated in the manifest;
loading the activation context into computer system memory in a persistable binary form to provide accelerated access to the activation context;
receiving a request from an application to load an assembly from among a plurality of assemblies located in a same directory;
consulting information in the activation context to identify a specified version of the requested assembly without referring to the received manifest, in response to receiving the request to load the assembly; and

The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60/199,374, filed Apr. 24, 2000, and is also related to U.S. patent application entitled "Configurations for Binding Software Assemblies to Applications," Ser. No. 09/842,278, filed concurrently herewith.
The present invention is generally directed to computer systems, and more particularly to executable computer code such as application programs that utilize shared assemblies (components).
At one time, computer applications were monolithic blocks of executable code and data, although some of their data such as variable settings could be maintained in separate files. This made tasks like moving or replacing the application simple. In contrast, contemporary computer applications and other executable code (such as an operating system component) bind to and make use of shared components, wherein in general a component is a self-contained software entity, offering a set of functions that can be used by a variety of applications. Such components include dynamic link libraries (DLLs) and objects such as OLE (Object Linking and Embedding) components and COM (Component Object Model) components, including ActiveX� controls. In turn, some of these shared components depend on other shared components.
On any given machine, at present there is one version of each of these components shared by applications, such as the most-recently installed version, although some mechanisms are known that replace an installed component only when an available replacement component has a higher version number. The metadata maintained for using these components is generally maintained in the system registry, and the application has the names of the needed components compiled into its binary code. Because in general the application does not change as components change, to function properly, global component sharing requires that any shared component function exactly like previous other versions of that component with respect to what an application expects. In practice, however, perfect backwards compatibility is difficult if not impossible to achieve, among other reasons because it is impractical to test the many configurations in which the shared component may be used. For example, both newer and older applications end up sharing the same component, whereby over time, fixing and improving the component becomes increasingly difficult. Moreover, the practical functionality of a component is not easily defined. For example, some applications may utilize unintended side effects in a component that are not considered part of the core function of the component, e.g., an application may become dependent on a bug in a component, and when the component publisher chooses to fix that bug, the application fails. Of course, on the other side, application writers cannot test future versions of components.
As a result, problems occur when a component is updated to its newer version, such as when a new application or operating system service pack is installed with updated copies of components, as the newly installed component versions become the ones used by other applications and components on the system. The sheer volume of applications and components that rely on other components magnifies this problem, which is sometimes referred to as "DLL Hell."
One mechanism that provided sharing for some applications while enhancing the stability of other applications was provided in Microsoft Corporation's Windows� 2000 and Windows� 98, Second Edition, operating systems. In general, this mechanism provided a way for an application to be bound to a local copy of a component instead of a shared copy. However, with this solution, a component needed to be isolated per application, which resulted in multiple copies of the same component version having to be maintained on the system. Additionally global non-code data, such as COM data, was not isolated, limiting this mechanism's usefulness with COM objects.
Briefly, the present invention provides a method, system and infrastructure that allow an application to run with specified versions of components bound thereto, wherein each component (also referred to herein as an assembly, wherein an assembly is set of one or more component files which are versioned and shipped as a unit) may exist and run side-by-side on the system with other versions of the same assembly being used by other applications. To this end, the application provides a manifest to specify any desired assembly versions. An activation context is created for the application based on the manifest to map global, version independent names to a particular version maintained in an assembly cache or in the application's respective directory. In order to specify a version for an assembly, applications need not have their code rewritten, but instead can provide the application manifest, (e.g., in an XML data structure). Similarly, each assembly has an assembly manifest that specifies the versions of dependent assemblies.
In the pre-application execution phase when creating a new process, the operating system checks for an application manifest in the same file system directory as the calling executable. When an application manifest exists, the operating system checks for an activation context for the application that was built from the manifest. If the activation context does not exist (for example this is the first time application has been executed), or it exists but is not coherent with current policy, an activation context is created via the application manifest and the assembly manifests of any dependent assemblies/assemblies listed in the application manifest.
At runtime, when a program requests creation of a global object, the operating system automatically consults the activation context built from the application and assembly manifests, to locate and load the assembly version that the application wants to use. The operating system also maps any uses of this named object (such as object (e.g., Windows�) classes) to the appropriate version to allow for multiple versions of the code module to run simultaneously without interfering with each other. By its manifest and the activation context built therefrom, an application may be bound to specific assembly versions and thereby be isolated from changes made to assembly versions by other applications.
Other objects and advantages will become apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the drawings, in which:
Exemplary Operating Environment
The invention is operational with numerous other general purpose or special purpose computing system environments or configurations. Examples of well known computing systems, environments, and/or configurations that may be suitable for use with the invention include, but are not limited to, personal computers, server computers, hand-held or laptop devices, multiprocessor systems, microprocessor-based systems, set top boxes, programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, distributed computing environments that include any of the above systems or devices, and the like.
The invention may be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as program modules, being executed by a computer. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, and so forth, that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. The invention may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote computer storage media including memory storage devices.
With reference to
The computer 110 typically includes a variety of computer-readable media. Computer-readable media can be any available media that can be accessed by the computer 110 and includes both volatile and nonvolatile media, and removable and non-removable media. By way of example, and not limitation, computer-readable media may comprise computer storage media and communication media. Computer storage media includes both volatile and nonvolatile, removable and non-removable media implemented in any method or technology for storage of information such as computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data. Computer storage media includes, but is not limited to, RAM, ROM, EEPROM, flash memory or other memory technology, CD-ROM, digital versatile disks (DVD) or other optical disk storage, magnetic cassettes, magnetic tape, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to store the desired information and which can accessed by the computer 110. Communication media typically embodies computer-readable instructions, data structures, program modules or other data in a modulated data signal such as a carrier wave or other transport mechanism and includes any information delivery media. The term "modulated data signal" means a signal that has one or more of its characteristics set or changed in such a manner as to encode information in the signal. By way of example, and not limitation, communication media includes wired media such as a wired network or direct-wired connection, and wireless media such as acoustic, RF, infrared and other wireless media. Combinations of the any of the above should also be included within the scope of computer-readable media.
The system memory 130 includes computer storage media in the form of volatile and/or nonvolatile memory such as read only memory (ROM) 131 and random access memory (RAM) 132. A basic input/output system 133 (BIOS), containing the basic routines that help to transfer information between elements within computer 110, such as during start-up, is typically stored in ROM 131. RAM 132 typically contains data and/or program modules that are immediately accessible to and/or presently being operated on by processing unit 120. By way of example, and not limitation,
The computer 110 may also include other removable/non-removable, volatile/nonvolatile computer storage media. By way of example only,
The drives and their associated computer storage media, discussed above and illustrated in
The computer 110 may operate in a networked environment using logical connections to one or more remote computers, such as a remote computer 180. The remote computer 180 may be a personal computer, a server, a router, a network PC, a peer device or other common network node, and typically includes many or all of the elements described above relative to the computer 110, although only a memory storage device 181 has been illustrated in
Isolating and Binding Assembly Versions
The present invention is generally directed to isolating versions of components (including code and/or data) per-application program or the like, in a manner that allows multiple versions of the same component to exist and operate side-by-side on a system. For practical purposes, components may be collected into an assembly, which, when referring to items such as a component, is the lowest unit of storage packaged for activation, distribution and versioning, and isolation, as described herein. Rather than deal with individual components, of which there may be a relatively large number, many of the actions regarding components that are grouped together can be handled by referring to their assembly. For example, rather than list in the manifest 204 1 the dependencies on a large number of individual components that are packaged together in an assembly, the manifest may simply list a dependency on the assembly. As used herein, the term "assembly" will refer to one or more components, whether referring to a single component (e.g., one contiguous DLL) or to a plurality of components grouped together.
Assemblies can be shared, such as when more than one application or the like needs an instance of the assembly's code. To provide significant flexibility while being transparent to existing and newly-developed applications, the present invention has been implemented in an operating system, with applications being run via the operating system. As will be understood, however, the present invention is not limited to applications and/or an operating system implementation, but rather is capable of being implemented by virtually any mechanism internal or external to executable code (e.g., an application) that needs or wants to use a specific version of an assembly. Note that as used herein, an application program is not limited to any particular type of software product, but includes any executable code such as operating system components, drivers and so on that in turn use other assemblies. Notwithstanding, the present invention will be primarily described with an application that uses assemblies including DLLs, resources and objects.
Although the application manifest lists its dependencies on assembly versions, it should be noted that technically, the application is only dependent on the manifest-specified assemblies themselves, not necessarily the exact versions that are specified. Instead, the specified versions are only those which have been tested with the application. In one implementation, another version of a needed assembly can replace the application-preferred version when additional information is available to the assembly loading mechanism (e.g., an operating system component). For example, as also described in copending U.S. patent application entitled "Configurations for Binding Software Assemblies to Applications" Ser. No. 09/842,278, assigned to the assignee of the present application, filed concurrently herewith, and hereby incorporated by reference, policy data (configurations) and/or an assembly manifest associated with the specified assembly may override the version information set forth in the application manifest. Nevertheless, it is expected that such policies and assembly manifests will be used conservatively, e.g., only for important fixes and/or after thorough testing, since they will cause replacement of the trusted assembly version.
Two types of assemblies are possible, those having strong names, e.g. including a public key signature or the like such that any two different assemblies can be unambiguously identified, and those having a simple name, which may be ambiguous in the context of an application and, for example, do not contain a public key. To provide isolation, any simply-named assemblies on which an application manifest specifies a dependency are treated as privatized. Privatized assemblies are those that the application does not intend to be shared with other applications. Privatized assemblies that have simple names are normally installed into the same folder as the executable application code, whereby the assembly is isolated and the application is given the effect of being monolithic, e.g., its assemblies are not influenced by different assemblies having the same simple name, and so forth. By not being shared, privatized assemblies with simple names thus have the benefit of virtually complete isolation, at the expense of the benefits obtained by sharing. Assemblies having strong names do not need to be placed into the application folder for isolation purposes, because assemblies with strong names are known to be the exact one the application needs. Thus, instead of being privatized by storing in a certain directory, such assemblies may be placed into a global assembly cache 212 to obtain the benefits of sharing, while effectively preserving isolation, because an application that asks for a strongly named assembly will get a copy that is exact.
Note that as represented in
As further represented in
Privatized assemblies that are not strongly named are copied to the application folder, as described above. To this end, an installer or the like contacts the operating system, which then directs the installer as to where (e.g., what folder) to install any given application files or assembly files based on the manifest type, file name data (strong or simple), and/or other installation information. In this manner, any privatized assemblies with simple names are installed into the same folder as the executable application code, as described above, while sharable assemblies are stored in the assembly cache 208.
The assembly manifest is preferably copied to the assembly cache 208 with its corresponding assembly at the time of installation. The assembly manifest describes the assembly and includes information about its individual assembly, including, for example, the name and version of the assembly, the items (program files, resources) that make up the assembly, and the binding path to items within the assembly (e.g., for Win32 DLLs this is the location of the DLL relative to the root of the assembly, whereas for COM Servers this is the CLSID (class identifier), ProgID (programmatic identifier) and other COM metadata). The assembly manifest may also include any dependencies on other assemblies, object classes and global names.
Example manifests in XML format are set forth in the tables below, wherein TABLE1 is an example of a simple application manifest where the application depends on a side-by-side version of COMCTL32:
TABLE2 is an example of an application manifest where the application depends on a side-by-side version of COMCTL32 and an assembly is privatized to the application:
Assemblies may be dependent on other assemblies, which in turn are dependent on other assemblies, and so on. To ensure the proper versions of dependent assemblies, one or more of the assemblies 210 1-210 n (e.g., assembly 210 1) may have an assembly manifest 212 1 associated therewith that provides assembly dependency data 214 1. To this end, assembly authors that create side-by-side assemblies may also author an assembly manifest 212 1 with each assembly, and have that assembly manifest evaluated for proper version dependencies. Note that although not separately shown in
A sample assembly manifest is set forth in TABLE3 below:
Among other things, an assembly manifest can specify (e.g., in an XML format) an assembly's dependency on a particular version of an assembly. For example, in
Note that although not shown in
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the metadata in an application manifest and the metadata in appropriate assembly manifests is used during the creation of an activation context for the application to provide an efficient way to load the correct version of an assembly for the corresponding application. As a result, when an application uses the side-by-side assemblies, the application code does not have to change internally to reflect the version of the assembly being used, e.g., the application simply executes its code generally rather than perform different operations each tailored to a particular assembly version. For example, in
As represented in
It should be noted that not every assembly used by an application needs to be specified in the application manifest, nor does each assembly manifest have to specify all of its dependent assembly versions, only those versions wherein there is a particular version desired. This is because the architecture described herein allows a default assembly version to be used when a particular version of an assembly is not specified in a manifest. Normally, when more than one version of an assembly is available, the default assembly is the most-recent version, however it is possible for an administrator or user to set (e.g., via interaction with the operating system through a dialog box, property sheet or the like) any version as a default.
In keeping with the present invention, the activation context 302 for an application maps version-independent assemblies that are requested by an application to the versions that are specified in the application manifest and/or assembly manifests. By way of example,
Once created, the activation context 302 1 is maintained in a persistable binary form for caching. Preferably, a new activation context is recomputed each time the application is launched, and freed when the application is closed. However, in one alternative, the activation context may be preserved, e.g., to a non-volatile storage. If preserved, because policy or the like may change the dependency information therein, (e.g., a new assembly manifest has been installed), the activation context 302 1 may include a cache coherency section 402 that is used to detect whether the saved activation context 302 1 is valid, wherein when the activation context 302 1 is not coherent with current policy, it is recomputed. A section per API that implements version-specific binding is maintained.
To map the application's requests to the proper assembly versions, the activation context 302 1 includes a DLL redirector section 404 and an object class redirector section 406. The DLL redirector section 404 includes a record or the like for each DLL dependency that includes fields (e.g., 408 1 and 409 1) that relate the DLL name used by an application to the exact pathname of the version specified in the application manifest and/or assembly manifest. The object class redirector section 406 includes a record or the like for each object class (e.g., Windows� object class) on which an application depends, wherein each record includes fields (e.g., 412 1, 413 1, and 414 1) that relate the object class name used by an application to the DLL file it is in and a version specific name. Note that the fields are arranged in a manner that optimizes lookup, e.g., the application-provided request data corresponds to the search key, and the records may be arranged in any way (e.g., alphabetically, by frequency, linearly, binary or so on) to speed searches.
Via the activation context, during runtime, an application's requests for assemblies can be efficiently satisfied with the correct version of that assembly. If a given assembly is not found in the activation context data, the default assembly is used. To summarize, when an application first runs, the activation context built from the manifest data is cached, whereby the global, version-independent named objects requested by an application are mapped to version-dependent named objects as specified in the manifest. As the application executes and requests a named object via one of the activation APIs, the version-independent named objects are applied in a version specific fashion by accessing the application context, whereby the application gets the correct version.
When the application API 300 1 receives the request, the request data (e.g., the application provided name) is passed to a runtime version-matching mechanism 502 (the arrow labeled two (2)). The runtime version-matching mechanism 502 locates the correct activation context 304 1 for the calling application 202 1, and accesses the records therein to determine the correct version of the requested assembly (the arrows labeled three (3) and four (4)). Via the tables in the activation context 304 1, the runtime version-matching mechanism 502 will either return (e.g., as a return parameter, with the arrow labeled five (5)) the path and filename of the version-specific assembly, or a not-found status or the like (and/or the path and filename of the default file) to the activation API that called it, in which case the activation API will load the default assembly. As represented in
Turning to an explanation of the operation of the present invention with particular reference to the flow diagrams of
When step 600 determines that an application manifest exists, the initialization mechanism 304 (
In the event that the initialization process continues to step 610 to create the activation context, step 610 represents obtaining the binding information from the application manifest. Steps 610, 612, 614 and 616 of
By way of example,
When the appropriate assembly is in the graph following any possible replacements, step 702 branches to step 706 wherein any dependencies listed in the current assembly's manifest are added to the dependency graph. For example, in
Beginning at step 900 the activation API receives the application request including the version-independent assembly name, not the version specific name, and passes it as a parameter or the like to the runtime version matching mechanism, where it is received at step 902. If an entry for the name is in the activation context at step 904, the runtime version matching mechanism returns the version specific information (e.g., including the path and filename of the correct version) based on the manifest at step 906. If an entry for the name is not found in the activation context at step 904, at step 908 the runtime version matching mechanism returns a not found status, (or alternatively can determine and return the path and filename of the default version). At step 910, the activation API loads appropriate version, and returns a loading status or the like. The operating system also maps any uses of this named object to the appropriate version to allow for multiple versions of the code module to run simultaneously without interfering with each other, whereby, for example COM object data is isolated per object. At this time, the correct version as specified in the manifests is loaded, even though the application's executable code did not specify any version. Indeed, by providing an associated manifest that can be stored into the application's directory, an already existing application (e.g., written and installed before the present invention) can benefit from the present invention.
By way of a further example, consider two versions of an object class container, COMCTL32 version six (v6), and COMCTL32 version seven (v7), both of which have a SysListView object class therein. When the application launches for the first time, the operating system reads the manifest and creates version-specific classes for items listed in the manifest, for example, the application manifest has listed v6 and this has not been overridden. The activation context is created and the object class created for SysListView, wherein the version number for the COMCTL32 object class container and the SysListView object class is v6, as specified in the application manifest.
When the application program is running and requests an object class, the application does so as it always has, that is, by specifying the object, SysListView, without specifying any version information. However, based on the activation context, the appropriate version name of SysListView (in this example corresponding to V6) will be automatically returned and version v6 of the object will be located. As is understood, the application developer need not modify the application in any way to get the appropriate version, but instead only needs to provide a suitable application manifest.
In this manner, instead of having a system default of a single control such as SysListView in COMCTL32 that the processes use, multiple side-by-side versions of SysListView can be available and running. Each process has the option to choose the specific version to use. Moreover, because more metadata is being maintained about the runtime, self-healing systems are possible. For example, if an application fails, the operating system may intelligently use this metadata to repair the problem.
As can be seen from the foregoing detailed description, there is provided a method, system and infrastructure to version globally named objects in the system. Application authors may create safe, isolated applications by simply creating a declarative manifest that describes dependencies on these shared objects, without needing to be concerned with coding the application to adjust to the version of the assembly being used. By the present invention, assemblies can be safely shared and applications can be more completely isolated.
While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, certain illustrated embodiments thereof are shown in the drawings and have been described above in detail. It should be understood, however, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific form or forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Today, Drew and Spencer are discussing All-New Hawkeye 2, originally released April 8th, 2015.
Drew: I'm sure many folks have forgotten Cursed, the one-season NBC sitcom about a man cursed with bad luck in its pilot episode, but I'll never forget it. Not because it was particularly good — I've actually forgotten almost everything about it — but because of its abrupt title change. Suddenly, Cursed, the high-concept sitcom about bad luck had become The Weber Show, a series so generic, its most distinctive characteristic was apparently the presence of former Wings star Steven Weber. That was my first lesson in the dangers of a narrative tying itself to a limiting premise, a problem I've found to be relatively ubiquitous in modern culture. All-New Hawkeye is far from the disaster that Cursed was, but as issue 2 strains against the flashback structure that worked so beautifully in issue 1, I find myself wondering if that structure is more of a prison than a springboard.

Geography Prof's Maps Used Widely in Media
By Meghan Dusek
MAY 24, 2007--New professors can be like portmanteaus in that, while they bring themselves and their knowledge to the university, sometimes they carry along recognition outside of the local sphere.
A newcomer to the UW-River Falls geography department, assistant Professor Matt Dooley brings with him a history of creating maps for the National Arbor Day Foundation (NADF), which have been used in several newspapers, including the Washington Post and New York Times as well as seen on CNN and National Arbor Day Foundation commercials.
"I'm glad to have had the opportunity to make a contribution that provides a better understanding of our warming planet," says Dooley.
Dooley's affiliation with the NADF began in 2002, when, as a graduate student, he updated hardiness zone map and the change map using geographic information systems software showing the differences in hardiness zones since 1990. He has since made several of the maps, incorporating more recent climate data.
The maps can be viewed at the NADF web site at http://www.arborday.org/media/zones.cfm .
In using GIS Dooley employs a computer system for creating, storing, mapping and analyzing spatial data. Through the software, researchers can incorporate multiple layers of spatial information (like elevation, demographics or hydrology) at once for analysis, problem solving and decision-making. It is a useful tool for a variety of disciplines that use or analyze spatial data--biology, business and engineering, for example.
"GIS is bound to the discipline of geography since it provides powerful tools to identify, explore and understand spatial relationships," Dooley says. "The GIS user is, and will always be, the most important part of GIS. Users must have a solid background in mapping and basic geographic principles in order to use GIS appropriately."
The GIS and cartography program at UWRF is among the strongest in the nation, Dooley says. Geography chair and co-GIS faculty Charlie Rader, along with Dooley, designed and maintain the current GIS lab and curriculum.
"In the future, I would like to help expand the GIS lab, create new courses in GIS, and promote interdisciplinary research in the St. Croix Valley," Dooley says.
Dooley's maps in The Washington Post story on the NADF are at: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/12/19/AR2006121901769.html.

I am not an experienced white-water boater by any means. My buddy is however and he " coached " me through. It was mostly class II with maybe a III here and there. AT least this is what my buddy told me. I did a few impromtu fish inspections but came out unscathed.
It was a beautiful scenic paddle with no major problems outside of my incompetence and my bike helmet skull cap.

Maternity Spanx: There is a hosiery god, by Nicole Rapaport
In the final trimester of pregnancy my body is now starting to resemble a rather large walrus and I simply can't deny the fact that chic maternity clothes are a must.
The thing viagra pills buy is, I've found that a good maternity fit is hard to come by. If it cosies up to your belly, the legs are too baggy (not in a cool boyfriend jeans way either). If the leg fit is nice and tight I'm either left with a gaping pouch which a far bigger bump needs to fill, or a 'digging in' scenario so extreme I fear the oxygen supply to my foetus has been cut off.
I thought I could cheat the system by just buying bigger sizes or cheap mum-to-be brands – rookie mistake – especially with tights that just ended up shimmying down my legs half way through the day and traumatising my bump with their overactive seams and waist lines.
Enter Mama Spanx, the maternity pantyhose sent to me by an obviously female and pregnant god (aka MyTights). The bright packa
ging, wording and illustrations will put you in a good mood before you even put these on; 'Super Spanx for a Super Mum' even made me feel better about the daunting prospect of entering motherhood.
I tend to wear dresses to work, and although I was hoping by May there would be no need for tights, these feel supportive and give you a lovely feeling of streamlined sexiness (as you would feel in an ordinary pair of Spanx undergarments).
The thigh support stops wobbling and chaffing if you've expanded a bit down there and the tummy support feels comforting and safe, rather than claustrophobic or restricted; kind of like a luxury hammock for your floating sproglet. They feel silky and soft, yet are tough considering I'm whipping them up and down every 20 minutes for a toilet trip.
The sizing is particularly accurate and the cotton gusset means you can easily go without knickers if you feel so inclined. There is a back support section of which I didn't feel any particular benefit, but the architecture of these maternity tights as a whole make for one happy mama with mighty firm hips, thighs, bum and tum.
