I'm writing a windows mobile application which will be running on a PDA, not a smartphone. It will also be used in an area with spotty wifi reception, so I need to be able to sync the data on the application when it is connected to another computer. What APIs or frameworks should I look into to perform this? I've looked at RDA and Sync Framework, but they both seem to require a network connection on the device. Thanks!

ActiveSync was the "original" Windows Mobile sync framework. Basic sync operations can be done with RAPI. A managed wrapper exists for that API.
A full-blown ActiveSync Serivice Provider can be created for full, true sync operations, but it must be written in C++.
Also bear in mind that for most new devices, the USB connection is an RNDIS network connection, and things like the sync framework will work with it.

The Truth About Getting Older
The Truth About Getting Older
The Truth About Getting Older
Almost every woman is trying to look younger than her years. We go to the movies and our favorite stars look strangely unfamiliar. Actresses we've enjoyed watching over time suddenly lose the unique look that made us fall in love with them. We see a face that hasn't changed in 30 years and can't help but be distracted looking for the telltale signs of aging (wrinkles, frown lines, etc.) that we know should be there.
As I write this, I am 66 years old. Am I thrilled to be this old? Yes and no. When I think about some of my friends and family members who are no longer here, I'm filled with gratitude for my many years. When I reflect on all I've learned from the wide variety of people and experiences that have filled my life up till now, yes, I appreciate my 66 years.
But like you, I am susceptible to the steady stream of images, jokes and stories about the horrors of being an older woman.
Plastic surgery and other age-defying methods have become the norm in the images of women we see around us everywhere. On magazine covers, even 20-something models are airbrushed to greater perfection. Volume is added to hair, breasts and lips, and erased from waists, hips and thighs.
Nothing we see in the media is an accurate depiction of the changes a real woman goes through as she ages. So how can we not be upset about our crow's feet or worry lines when we see older woman on TV without a wrinkle on their face?
Having "work done" is a personal choice and it is one I respect. But all the effort and money put into trying to avoid the march of time gives us the message that as older women, we aren't attractive and therefore we won't be loved.
The idea of older men breaking up their families for a younger woman is prevalent and it has poisoned our sense of ourselves. Yes, of course this happens, but not all the time.
So many of us over 40 have an overwhelming fear that men only want younger women. This makes us think less of ourselves because we believe that we won't be able to spark a man's interest; we believe the lie that we are no longer attractive to men.
This of course, isn't true. If you look around you'll see older women and men falling in love and marrying all the time. I was 53 when I married my husband who was a youngster at 49.
We have to fight the lies being fed to us and allay our fears. If we look around at the real people who populate our lives it looks very different than what we're being shown. People of all ages, shapes and sizes manage to marry, have families and live a good life.
We shouldn't bemoan the number of years we've spent on the planet; each one was a gift. We can't let our age make us feel any less worthy of love.
We need to appreciate every line and every wrinkle. We earned them through the richness of our life experience. We need to fall in love with ourselves just as we are so we can feel comfortable in our own skin. That feeling won't come to us from the outside; we have to do it for ourselves.
There's one thing I'm sure of; we are never too old for the goodness of life and we're never too old to find love.

Pioneer Health Services and Choctaw County officials held a groundbreaking ceremony Friday for the Pioneer Community Hospital of Choctaw, located at the intersection of Highway 12 and Highway 9 in Ackerman.
The new hospital will replace the Choctaw County Community Hospital, which was temporarily closed by the Mississippi Department of Health in December 2009. Joining Pioneer and county officials Friday was U.S. Congressman Alan Nunnelee.
'ÄúThis is important for rural health care, (for) the people not just in Choctaw County, but in this entire region of Mississippi,'ÄĚ Nunnelee said. 'ÄúIt'Äôs also a provider of jobs, and in this economy, we are most appreciative of anybody who'Äôs willing to invest to create jobs. Make no mistake about it, in Mississippi, health care is economic development.'ÄĚ
Steve Fontaine, vice president of hospital operations at Pioneer Health Services, said the new hospital and its jobs could not happen without the vested interest the Choctaw County community has shown in maintaining its health care. He said Pioneer began plans to staff the hospital with 25 job openings and expected about 75-100 applications.
'ÄúWould you believe that there were actually 750 folks who applied for those 25 jobs?'ÄĚ Fontaine asked. 'ÄúThat tells me we want to be part of that. We have eight, soon to be nine hospitals in the Southeast, and we will not go into communities unless the community, the board and the hospital board are totally invested in the long-term success of that community and its health care. We started at 25 jobs; we'Äôre now looking at 125 jobs, and that is about $6 million a year if you include payroll and payroll taxes. I'Äôm glad we can offer that to the county because it'Äôs truly a commitment on both sides.'ÄĚ
Eric Chambers, District 5 Supervisor for Choctaw County, recounted the history of the county's medical system leading up to Pioneer's ground breaking. He said the original Choctaw County Community Hospital opened in September 1953 and has been renovated several times. In 2009, he said, the board of supervisors began to sense problems with the hospital and its lessee.
'ÄúWe determined that we should have a plan of action should these problems evolve further,'ÄĚ Chambers said. 'ÄúAfter discussion with legal counsel, we were advised to contact the state department of health about (our) options. We visited seven rural hospitals in two states to see how they managed their hospitals. As a result of this trip, the board decided to seek out companies to lease or manage CCMC in the event that the hospital faced closure. As was feared, on Dec. 9, 2009, the state department of health closed the hospital due to a number of deficiencies.'ÄĚ
The lessee filed bankruptcy shortly afterward, Chambers said, and a bankruptcy judge placed the hospital and its nursing home in the county's hands in February 2010.
'ÄúInstantly, we had 54 nursing home residents that needed care, and we had to provide it, and I'Äôd like to thank all of the nursing home staff as well as the hospital staff for bearing with us during those difficult times,'ÄĚ Chambers said. 'ÄúWe had a caring staff that considered others before themselves.'ÄĚ
Four companies responded to a request for qualifications the board sent out before the hospital closed, Chambers said, and the board chose Pioneer Medical Service's proposal to manage the nursing home while negotiating a lease with Pioneer to reopen the hospital. The lease ultimately expanded to include clinics in Weir and Ackerman, he said, and the hospital reopened in October of 2010.
The board discussed the possibility of opening a new hospital, Chambers said, and after an extensive revision process, the board approved plans for a new facility, and $13.5 million in bonds for it were sold.
'ÄúThe founders of the first hospital would be proud their dream is being carried on,'ÄĚ Chambers said. 'ÄúThis hospital will be constructed at the crossroads of three highways and will stand proudly as a facility built for an amazing county of amazing people to do amazing things.'ÄĚ

Pat the Bat retires after 12 productive seasons with 2 World Series rings. Photo: AP
Pat Burrell is set to announce his retirement today according to Tim Dierkes of MLB Trade Rumors. Burrell, also known as Pat the Bat and the Machine, was a beacon of hope for a floundering franchise scorned by JD Drew's famous refusal to sign. Burrell was the number one pick out of the University of Miami in 1998 and provided solid production over nine years in Philadelphia. Drafted as a third baseman, Burrell was selected with high expectations and for his ability to reach the Majors quickly. Burrell joined the club in 2000.
Burrell's last game as a Phil was Game 5 of the 2008 World Series saw him reach base three times, including the go-ahead double that helped the Phils clinch the title. Burrell's double cemented him forever in Phillies' lure and reflected his often-clutch performances. Burrell finished his career with a year-and-a-half each with both Tampa and San Francisco. Burrell finished 2010 with 18 second-half home runs and led the charging Giants past Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Texas to capture the 2010 World Series.
For many, Burrell never reached the unrealistic expectations set forth by many as the number 1 pick, but to me, Burrell's double was the perfect exclamation mark to a terrific career. Playing mostly left field for the Phils, Pat the Bat appeared in 1306 games for the Phillies hitting 251 HRs with a triple-slash of .257/.367/.485. Burrell finishes his career just shy of 300 (292) HRs, with a career triple slash of .253/.361/.472. With so many moments to choose from, including many Shea Stadium bombs and his Game 5 double, what is your favorite Pat Burrell moment?

Techniques described herein provide low-overhead adaptive instrumentation runtime monitoring and analysis of software. A method of instrumenting a program to provide instrumentation data creates instrumentation versions comprising duplicate versions of original procedures in the program with instrumentation code for capturing instrumentation data, and adaptively decreases the sampling rate of the instrumented version of a procedure as the frequency of execution of the procedure increases.

The present invention relates to program instrumentation for run-time software monitoring and analysis.
Static checking for program correctness, while currently an area of great promise and ongoing investigation, is fundamentally unable to detect large classes of program defects that are nevertheless very important. Software testing addresses these shortcomings but is expensive and limited by the scenarios used, and the amount of testers and time allotted. Consequently, software continues to ship with latent bugs, which can compromise system security in addition to affecting reliability. Furthermore, even "correct" software can violate a higher-level security policy. Given this, a pragmatic approach is to self-monitor application execution and report encountered defects.
One method for finding latent software defects is runtime monitoring. Runtime monitoring of an executing program can identify many program defects that static checking may miss, such as memory leaks, data races, and invariance. Runtime monitoring can be implemented by instrumenting code. Instrumentation refers to the process of adding code to software that monitors and collects data regarding memory management and other details of the software at runtime. However, currently, the overhead added to the executing program can exceed 30%, a slowdown that users are likely to notice and software developers are unlikely to accept. One solution is burst sampling.
The sequence of all events occurring during execution of a program is generally referred to as the "trace." A "burst" on the other hand is a subsequence of the trace. Arnold and Ryder present a framework that samples bursts. (See, M. Arnold and B. Ryder, "A Framework For Reducing The Cost Of Instrumented Code," Programming Languages Design And Implementation (PLDI) (2001).) In their framework, the code of each procedure is duplicated. (Id., at
A limitation of the Arnold-Ryder framework is that it stays in the instrumented code only for the time between two checks. Since it has checks at every procedure entry and loop back-edge, the framework captures a burst of only one acyclic intraprocedural path's worth of trace. In other words, only the burst between the procedure entry check and a next loop back-edge is captured. This limitation can fail to profile many longer "hot data stream" bursts, and thus fail to optimize such hot data streams. Consider for example the code fragment:
Another limitation of the Arnold-Ryder framework is that the overhead of the framework can still be too high for dynamic optimization of machine executable code binaries. The Arnold-Ryder framework was implemented for a Java virtual machine execution environment, where the program is a set of Java class files. These Java programs typically have a higher execution overhead, so that the overhead of the instrumentation checks is smaller compared to a relatively slow executing program. The overhead of the Arnold-Ryder framework's instrumentation checks may make dynamic optimization with the framework impractical in other settings for programs with lower execution overhead (such as statically compiled machine code programs).
A framework that supports bursty tracing for low-overhead temporal profiling is described in Chilimbi, T. and Hirzel, M., "Bursty Tracing: A Framework for Low-Overhead Temporal Profiling," in Workshop on Feedback-Directed and Dynamic Optimizations (FDDO), 2001; and Chilimbi, T. and Hirzel, M., "Dynamic Hot Data Stream Prefetching For General-Purpose Programs," in PLDI '02, Jun. 17-19, 2002. This bursty tracing framework adds a second counter (nInstr) that controls the length of execution in the instrumented version of the code. In this way, the bursty tracing framework can periodically capture complete program execution detail (i.e., a "trace sample") for short timeframes. Further, bursty tracing permits additional control and flexibility by allowing the "trace sample" extent to be configured in addition to collection frequency, by use of the two user-specified counters (nCheck and nInstr).
A drawback of the bursty tracing is that its sampling methodology may miss infrequently executed code paths that are nevertheless important for identifying reliability and/or security problems.
A technique for bursty tracing with adaptive instrumentation provides improved low-overhead temporal profiling and analysis of software, with an emphasis on checking correctness of software rather that improving performance. The adaptive instrumentation addresses the shortcomings of the prior bursty tracing framework by adjusting the sampling rate of instrumented procedures according to their frequency of execution. For example, the technique can sample execution of code paths at a rate inversely proportional to their execution frequency. In this way, rarely executed code paths can be essentially always traced, whereas frequently executed code paths are sampled at a very low rate.
In accordance with one implementation of the technique described herein, a bursty profiling framework is extended by also placing a counter at each of one or more dispatch check points to track the frequency of execution of the code path. The sampling rate at which the respective dispatch check point diverts execution to an instrumented version of the code is then varied according to the frequency of execution of the code path as tracked by this counter. For example, the software may begin execution with each of the dispatch check points providing a 100% sampling rate, which is then gradually adjusted downward according to the execution count of the code path.
In accordance with a further technique described herein, the bursty tracing adaptive instrumentation framework is applied to detecting memory leaks in software. In particular, the sampling of bursty trace data obtained by this instrumentation framework during runtime monitoring is analyzed to determine all objects that satisfy a staleness predicate as memory leaks.
Additional features and advantages of the invention will be made apparent from the following detailed description of embodiments that proceeds with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The following description is directed to techniques and tools for bursty tracing with adaptive instrumentation for low-overhead, temporal profiling, which can be used in runtime monitoring and analysis of software. The techniques and tools can use a bursty tracing with adaptive instrumentation framework structured to comprise duplicate non-instrumented ("checking code") and instrumented code versions of at least some original procedures of the program.
A bursty tracing framework is described briefly in reference to
While a bursty tracing framework captures temporal execution detail of frequently executed code paths, many program defects only manifest on rarely visited code regions that periodic bursty trace sampling alone is likely to miss. This shortcoming can be overcome by a variation of the bursty tracing framework that includes adaptive instrumentation, where a sampling rate at which bursty traces of the instrumented code are sampled is adapted to the frequency of execution of the respective code path.
In this bursty tracing with adaptive instrumentation, the framework maintains a per-dispatch check sampling rate rather than a global sampling rate. More specifically, a separate set of nCheck and nInstr counters are associated with each adaptive dispatch check. As in the bursty tracing framework, the nCheck counter for the adaptive dispatch check counts down a number of executions of the dispatch check that dispatch execution into the checking code. So long as the nCheck counter is non-zero, the dispatch check dispatches to the checking code 120. When the nCheck counter reaches zero, the nInstr counter is initialized to its initial value nInstr0, and execution is dispatched into the instrumented version of the code 130. The nInstr counter counts down a number of executions dispatched to the instrumented code 130. When the nInstr counter again reaches zero, the nCheck counter is re-initialized to its initial value nCheck0. The initial values nCheck0 and nInstr0 then determine the period between bursty trace samples and the length of the bursty trace, respectively. The sampling rate (r) is then given by r=nInstr0/(nCheck0+nInstr0).
In bursty tracing with adaptive instrumentation, this sampling rate is adapted to the frequency of execution of the code path through the adaptive dispatch check. The more often the code path (i.e., the adaptive dispatch check) is executed, the more the sampling rate is decreased. In one implementation, all adaptive dispatch checks initially produce bursty trace samples at a rate at or near 100% (full tracing). More specifically, the nCheck counter is initialized at nCheck0=0, so that the first time the code path is executed a bursty trace is sampled through the code path. (As described above, if the nCheck counter is zero when the dispatch check is executed, then execution is dispatched to the instrumented code.) This provides a sampling rate of r=nInstr0/(0+nInstro)=1 (which is 100% execution of the instrumented code).
On subsequent executions of the adaptive dispatch check, the counter nCheck that controls the sampling period is adapted to decrease the sampling rate. On subsequent resets of the nCheck counter, the sampling rate is decremented (by increasing the initialization value nCheck0 of the nCheck counter at reset) towards a pre-set lower bound. In this fashion, rarely used code is sampled at very high rates, whereas more frequently executed code is sampled at or near a much lower sampling rate. In other words, the adaptive dispatch checks of rarely used code paths have high sample rates, whereas those of more frequently executed code are varied to lower sampling rates.
For adapting the sampling rates of the adaptive dispatch checks, the bursty tracing with adaptive instrumentation framework employs a further counter on the adaptive dispatch check and set of parameters, which includes a decrement, an interval, and a bound. This further counter controls when the sampling rate is decremented, and can be a count of the number of executions of the adaptive dispatch check in one implementation; or alternatively, a number of bursty traces sampled from the adaptive dispatch check (e.g., a number of nCheck counter resets), among other alternatives. The decrement determines how much to decrement the sampling rate (how much to increase the initialization value of the nCheck counter each time that it is reset). For example, in one implementation, the sampling rate is decremented by a factor of 10 each time the sampling rate is decreased, e.g., from 100%, 10%, 1%, 0.1%, etc. The interval determines how often to decrement the sampling rate. In one implementation, the sampling rate is decremented progressively less often. For example, the interval between decrements can be increased by a factor of 10 each time time the sampling rate is decremented, e.g., from an interval of 10 nCheck counter resets, to 100, 1000, 10,000, etc. The bound counter determines the lower bound of the sampling rate for the adaptive dispatch check.
In one implementation, adaptation of the sampling rate is then performed when the nCheck counter is reset. In one implementation beginning with a 100% sampling rate, nCheck is initially set to zero, resulting in dispatching to the instrumented code to sample a bursty trace. On a subsequent execution of the adaptive dispatch check after the bursty trace completes, the nCheck counter is reset, after first adapting (possibly decrementing) the sampling rate.
In adapting the sampling rate, the interval counter determines the interval at which the sampling rate is decremented. The interval counter is incremented at each nCheck counter reset, and causes a decrement each time its count reaches a pre-set limit. This interval progressively increases. For example, in one implementation, the interval limit is increased by a factor of 10 each time it is reached (i.e., the interval limit is increased by interval limit=10*interval limit, each time it is reached), so that decrements are performed at nCheck reset counts of 10, 100, 1000, 10,000, etc.
At each decrement of the sampling rate, the initialization value (nCheck0) of the nCheck counter is increased so as to effect the decrement in the sampling rate (r). In one implementation, the value of nCheck is varied according to the formula nCheck0(n)=(decrn−1−1)*nInstr0, so nCheck0(1)=0, nCheck0(2)=9*nInstr0, nCheck0(3)=99*nInstr0. With decr=10, then this formula yields: r(1)=100%, r(2)=10%, r(3)=1%. The decrement in the sampling rate continues until the lower bound of the sampling rate (e.g., 0.1% in one implementation) is reached.
For instance, in one embodiment, all dispatch checks can be sampled at a rate of 100% (i.e., full tracing) initially. Subsequent executions of the adaptive dispatch check then progressively reduce the sampling rate by an adjustable fractional amount until the adjustable or user-set lower bound sampling rate is reached. In the steady state, rarely executed code segments are virtually traced (sampled at close to 100%), while frequently executed code paths are sampled at the lower bound sampling rate. This approach trades the ability to distinguish frequently executed code paths from infrequently executed ones for more comprehensive code coverage.
The parameters of the adaptive dispatch checks can be adjusted in alternative implementations of the framework, so as to provide a different starting sampling rate, a different decrement size or factor, different interval of decrement progression, and a different lower bound, among others.
Adaptive instrumentation can be used as a monitoring technique for plug-in tools that use the information to analyze the "correctness" of software, including but not limited to data races, memory leaks, and invariance. A framework for utilizing adaptive instrumentation in order to provide runtime monitoring and analysis is illustrated in
Frequent events that are too expensive to trace, such as data references, branch executions, memory allocations, synchronization events (locks, barriers, critical sections, semaphores), load and stores, branches, etc., can be monitored using adaptive instrumentation or bursty tracing. These events can be monitored by adding instrumentation points 208 to the instrumented code 206 (Record Freq Event 1/2 ( )). The instrumentation points 208 can be added at custom locations in the instrumented code or at each of the previously mentioned events. Once instrumentation points 208 are provided, plug-in code can simply be provided at the instrumentation points that are executed at each of the monitored event occurrences to provide runtime data to an analysis tool 210.
In one embodiment, a memory leak detection tool is provided that uses the disclosed monitoring techniques to detect memory leaks if a heap object has not been accessed for a "long" time. This simple invariant ensures that the tool detects all leaks that manifest at runtime. However, there are two significant obstacles to implementing this staleness policy within a practical memory leak tool. First, the overhead of monitoring all heap data accesses can be prohibitive. Second, the leaks reported could include a large number of "false positives". Perhaps for these reasons, no existing memory leak tool uses this "staleness" approach.
The tool of the current embodiment addresses the first problem by using adaptive instrumentation or bursty tracing techniques to monitor heap accesses with low overhead. For instance, in this embodiment, the tool can use a lower bound sampling rate of 0.1%, which may entail a runtime overhead of less than 5% in some instances. Regarding "false positives," tuning the "time elapsed" before an unaccessed heap object is reported as a leak is sufficient to remedy this problem. In addition, many of the remaining false positives are of interest to developers since objects that have not been accessed for a very long time often indicate inefficient use of memory. Sampling the heap data accesses appears to have no noticeable impact on the number of false positives. This may be so because most heap objects are accessed multiple times and the sampling will have to miss all of these accesses for an active object to be mistakenly classified as a leak.
The memory leak detection tool 408 uses the heap allocation and free information to maintain a model of the heap, which it updates with the heap access information. Periodically, the memory leak detection tool 408 takes a snapshot at block 410, where it visits all objects in its heap models and reports all objects that satisfy its staleness predicate as leaks. It is able to associate the responsible heap allocation, all heap frees that deallocated objects created at that allocation site, and most importantly the "last access", with each heap object reported as a leak. This last access information is invaluable for quickly debugging and fixing detected leaks. In addition, the last access information enables quick determination of "false positives". The leak snapshots are post processed at block 412 and leak reports can then be visualized through a user terminal at block 414. The user terminal can also include a source code browser that highlights a line of code in the program that is the last access to a leaked object.
A data race detection tool can also be implemented using the framework of
With reference to
A computing environment may have additional features. For example, the computing environment 600 includes storage 640, one or more input devices 650, one or more output devices 660, and one or more communication connections 670. An interconnection mechanism (not shown) such as a bus, controller, or network interconnects the components of the computing environment 600. Typically, operating system software (not shown) provides an operating environment for other software executing in the computing environment 600, and coordinates activities of the components of the computing environment 600.
The storage 640 may be removable or non-removable, and includes magnetic disks, magnetic tapes or cassettes, CD-ROMs, CD-RWs, DVDs, or any other medium which can be used to store information and which can be accessed within the computing environment 600. The storage 640 stores instructions for adaptive instrumentation runtime monitoring and analysis software 680.
The input device(s) 650 may be a touch input device such as a keyboard, mouse, pen, or trackball, a voice input device, a scanning device, or another device that provides input to the computing environment 600. For audio, the input device(s) 650 may be a sound card or similar device that accepts audio input in analog or digital form, or a CD-ROM reader that provides audio samples to the computing environment. The output device(s) 660 may be a display, printer, speaker, CD-writer, or another device that provides output from the computing environment 600.
The communication connection(s) 670 enable communication over a communication medium to another computing entity. The communication medium conveys information such as computer-executable instructions, audio/video or other media information, or other data in a modulated data signal. A modulated data signal is 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 include wired or wireless techniques implemented with an electrical, optical, RF, infrared, acoustic, or other carrier.
The adaptive instrumentation runtime monitoring and analysis techniques herein can be described in the general context of computer-readable media. Computer-readable media are any available media that can be accessed within a computing environment. By way of example, and not limitation, with the computing environment 600, computer-readable media include memory 620, storage 640, communication media, and combinations of any of the above.
The techniques herein can be described in the general context of computer-executable instructions, such as those included in program modules, being executed in a computing environment on a target real or virtual processor. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, libraries, objects, classes, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types. The functionality of the program modules may be combined or split between program modules as desired in various embodiments. Computer-executable instructions for program modules may be executed within a local or distributed computing environment.
For the sake of presentation, the detailed description uses terms like "determine," "generate," "adjust," and "apply" to describe computer operations in a computing environment. These terms are high-level abstractions for operations performed by a computer, and should not be confused with acts performed by a human being. The actual computer operations corresponding to these terms vary depending on implementation.
In view of the many possible embodiments to which the principles of our invention may be applied, we claim as our invention all such embodiments as may come within the scope and spirit of the following claims and equivalents thereto.
Although the specific embodiments described herein referred to detection of memory leaks and data races, the invention is not so limited. For instance, a tool can be created using the disclosed techniques for checking invariance in code by simply altering the disclosed method to check array accesses versus array bounds in the instrumented versions of the original code.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewManda is the personal summon of Orochimaru, likely due to Orochimaru being the only one with enough chakra who has signed the snake contract who is still alive. He is the King of all of the Snakes, and the most powerful Snake that is possible to be summoned via ninjutsu. PersonalityManda is very arrogant and demanding, even of those who sumon him. it is said that he eats those who summon him that he feels are unworthy or who show they are not powerful enough, showing that he is ruthless and cold hearted (even by Snake standards). He also demands tribute of those who summon him in the form of sacrifices, preferably human or likely other intelligent animals. In the Sannin battle, he demanded one hundred human sacrifices to appease him for the trouble of answering the summons. Even Orochimaru showed fear of him when he was disabled, unable to use Ninjutsu due to his arms status. Kabuto was seen admitting that if Manda found out that even Orochimaru was incapable of using ninjutsu, it was likely he would turn on them and kill them.AbilitiesManda has shown himself an incredible fighter, able to take on both Katsuyu and Gamabunta both at the same time. He is shown to be fast, accurate and extremely arrogant in battle, disabling his opponents using his immense strength and lithe form to crush them, also able to deliver deadly bites, with were also laced with poison. He is likely the most deadly of the three Sannin boss summons, though also the most trecherous. He is also able to create clones via shed skins to fool his opponents, and also possesses the ability to burrow underground at high speeds.StatusManda died in the battle between Uchiha Sasuke and Deidara when Sasuke summoned him to take an explosive blast that would have killed him. He was mesmerised by the eye power of Sasuke, who then jumped in Manda's mouth and unsummoned Manda, riding back with him to the intelligent snakes place of residence, which is currently unknown. He then relied on Suigetsu to summon Manda back closeby, where he exited. Manda's last words were used to curse Sasuke for his trechery which is ironic, yet fitting.

Moving forward grasping life by the horns, forgiving and never regretting is a way of life I love at the moment. I enjoy being with great people knowing we can dance, sing, eat, and have casual drinks while letting all inhibitions go. Learning and figuring a person out is something I hope to find from this in hopes the person is looking for the same. I don't believe in "soulmates" but do believe in people and find they will surprise you, often for the better. Life is beautiful and whoever said it's short, lied. So on this long Oregon Trail we all decide to ride I'd hope you stop by and say "Hello". My name is "Alexander" and I really hope you find what you're looking for :)

How can I have the bio show on the front page? Currently, it only shows on the single post page?
How can I have the bio show on the front page? Currently, it only shows on the single post page?
The answer depends on what you have set in your Reading Settings.
If it is set to a static page the easiest way would be to add a shortcode for social author bio in that static page.
If you have it set to show your latest posts then it depends on what exactly you are looking for. Do you want a single Social Author Bio box to appear from one author on that page or do you want a Social Author bio box from each post's author?
If you want a single Social Author Bio box from a single author to appear on that page then you will want to add the code to the specific template page that serves up that page. Which file to edit will depend upon your theme. If it is a general template file, like index.php, you will want to add a test to make sure it does this only when you are on the home page or you will have it showing up places you don't want. That might look something like this:
<?php if ( is_home() ) echo do_shortcode('[social-bio id=1]'); ?>
Make sure you put the code outside the loop or it will repeat for each post. Replace the 1 (in the id=1 above) with the ID of the user you want to display.
If you want to display a Social Author Bio for each post article then put code like this in the template file (mentioned above) and put it inside the loop:
<?php if ( is_home() ) echo do_shortcode('[social-bio]'); ?>
Let me know if this answers your question.
Thanks for the reply. It did answer my question. It didn't work at first but then I realized I didn't have the shortcode checked in the settings page. Once I checked it....all worked great! Thank you!

It's my own problem that I don't go for books of reunited teen love, 14 years later. If their love was that strong, why didn't they try to contact each other in those 14 years? Don't get me started on the love scenes....I felt like I had to wash my hands when I put the book down. Ick. Read full review

I had liked one if her other books but this one fell short. I think I was expecting her writing to be similar to her other book, but this was a romance and I do not generally enjoy that genre. I found Web and Marni's relationship unbelievable. Better luck next time. Read full review

Although Rebecca is unable to take me on her Shopping Tour, she was going to be out of town. She did recommend another company and provided the names of shops I would be interested in visiting. A truly helpful guide in which I'm sure I would have immensely enjoyed her tour.
We had a wonderful experience with Rebecca tour in Aix-en-Provence!
The good thing with her tour is that in a short time we could covered a large area of information regarding history of the town, location of important monuments and museums to visit, cathedral, the baroque architecture and nice places to shop presents, coffee, chocolate and local delight. She helped...
A delightful inside view of the local food and markets in Aix. Rebecca, originally from England,showed us the highlights of the beautiful market and the vendors. She arranged tastings of some local specialties, olives, olive oil, cheese, bread with olives, and callisons to name a few. Everything was delicious. She also gives some wonderful history highlights so it was two...
Great tour guide of the foods in Aix.Showed many different markets and shops from chocolates to cheese and olive oils.Also wonderfull bakeries,plus tour of one of the cathedral.It was great she spoke in English.Would highly reccomened and fun to check out the local markets.Thanks Rebecca
Thoroughly enjoyed touring the food markets with Rebecca! She managed a few tastings for us and showed us all the beautiful food that we would hope to see while in these great markets. Rebecca shared some local history as well as providing maps so that we might understand the city streets. It was also nice that she was British and...
Rebecca was a great tour guide. Friends who were getting married in Aix hired her to entertain us guests for the afternoon, and it was an excellent idea. We visited markets, tasted cheese and delicious olive oils, visited an amazing bread shop and more. Rebecca also added in a good amount of history as we passed landmarks. Definitely recommend her!
I was glad when Rebecca confirmed her availability given my short notice. I had signed up for the market tour. I had read many favorable comments from other people who engaged her service. I was thrilled and looking foward for the tour and my experience with her exceeded my expectation. She brought me walking around the town and explained all...
We had a lovely tour with Rebecca; it was exactly what we were looking for to both orient us to the city and to enjoy the food market. Without her, we'd likely be too shy to ask for tastings and to choose from all the amazing cheese, produce, and baked goods. She was an expert at the market and took...
I had the opportunity to spend a week in Aix with my three teenagers. I am so glad that we decided to spend the first few hours with Rebecca. She taught us so much about the area and made it interesting for all of us! We found out where to go for almost anything, and this made the rest of...
I'm so glad you enjoyed your tour and your week in Aix. Renting an apartment is a great way to enjoy the town as you can cook simple meals from the wonderful market produce as well as dining out.
My wife and i fortunately arranged to meet Rebecca for a two-hour walking tour hours after arrivng for a 3- night stay in Aix. Rebecca was personable and knowledgable, and this was an excellent way to be introduced to the highlights of Aix, in terms of shopping, sights, and restaurants. She is very well-informed and make sure you folow her...
I am pleased that you enjoyed your tour. It is always a pleasure to meet such enthusiastic travellers, I do hope you will come back to the region one day - there is so much to see and to enjoy.

I mean, isn't Obi the 7th rand ILB according to ESPN/Mel Kiper?
not bad
I mean, isn't Obi the 7th rand ILB according to ESPN/Mel Kiper?
Let me get this straight.. this kid throws away a prepaid 180K education for UCF.
Unless this kid's family is loaded, this is a titanically bad decision. I mean, kids are stupid but his parents.. that's just upsetting.
/ Here's to him proving me wrong.
Yeah! It's all about money and nothing else! Screw that 17 year old kid!
he's screwing himself.
But, like, he's totally going to be one of the 2% who make it to the NFL. And he'll most def be a first or second rounder, with an 8+ year career. So no worries.
Because no one that's graduated from UCF has ever gotten a job, right? Some people just don't care that much about making millions. Maybe he feels comfortable with the school and thinks he'll actually like it there.
I agree, besides, according to Harbaugh, Jim that is, M doesn't do right by their football players anyways.
Its all about the hot ass that's walking around that campus. I'm not big on the new construction, generic looking buildings, and terrible academics.. but hot damn they have some fine looking females there.
This is very true.
On this year. Glad to have the guys committed to Michigan - welcome. Lets face the facts, the Coaches did the best they could but we all new that there was going to be limited upside to recruiting after DB's coaching change miss-timing
We have a top 25 recruiting class, people!?! Granted, we lost out on Kris Frost and Dee Hart, but that stuff happens. It's over! Congrats to all the new recruits. Those who stay will be Champions!
I'll keep the feedback moderate as credit should be given to any young man that chooses to come to Michigan and put himself through the academic and physical grind of the team; however....we did not fill our major needs at OL and DT. Needless to say, ALOT of work will need to be put in for us to be competitive for a B10 Title in 2-3 years.
Just seems that some people are overstating the quality of it.
Hoke and co. did a great job of keeping players around, firming up (most) of the commits of existing recruits and filling out the rest of the class.
Is it a top 25 class? Rivals thinks so. Scout and ESPN don't. The point is that yesterday people were talking about how it was a potential top 15 class and that Hoke/Mattison had done a phenomenal job of bringing in talent which isn't necessarily true, at least not to the degree people are talking about.
You look at the guys Hoke brought in: Carter, Heitzman, Bellomy, Wile, Clark should all be good but with the exception of Wile are project/redshirt types. You've got Taylor/Bryant/Rawls who were all leaning blue before the change. The 2 big ones they brought in were Poole and Barnett. Barnett will get PT as a freshman and Poole could be a star once he gets some weight on him.
We also lost Fisher, missed out on Cooper and inexplicably lost Willingham to UCF when he was supposedly a silent commit.
TO STATE AGAIN: I'm very happy with the job they've done. Brandon put Hoke in an impossible position and as far I'm concerned Hoke deserves an A for the job he did. And that probably makes the class a B-. I'm not trying to trash anyone, it's just that let's not pretend this is a phenomenal class. It's a good one. Not too many immediate contributors (partly because we shouldn't need them) but a lot of players with star potential down the road. But not the world-breaking group of kids that people in the liveblog yesterday seemed to think it was.
+1 for your thoughtful response but like I said, Yawn - exactly for the reasons you mentioned. I expect a dynamite 2012 class
He visited Florida in the middle of winter and was able to do a compare and contrast weatherwise. He's also close with a guy going to UCF and there has to be an attraction to going to school with your friends. I know that weighed heavily with me when I was making some life changing decisions. While unusual to pick UCF over UM it's not that hard to understand. Best of luck to him and I hope he does well.
Good luck to him. I look forward to watching his UCF games on TV...
George O'Leary, the guy who lost the Notre Dame job back in 2001, after it was discovered he lied on his resume about earning Master's Degree in Education from NYU, which was found to be false.
Everyone makes mistakes I guess.
Wow in last 3 years we've lost recruits to Rutgers (Knight), Tulsa (Beaver), UCF (Willingham), and Wake Forest (Sousa). Never thought that would ever happen in a million years. Well I give props for Hoke for keeping class together and bringing in some good prospects, but time to see how he handles the X's and O's.
Good luck to the kid. But I'm guessing he's a little flaky, given the Texas A&M thing. And then the "silent commit" to M. And now CFU. Maybe it's a blessing.
Were you saying the same thing about Barnett? Then, no.
Let's say for purposes of argument that you are 18 years old, and don't have contact with many people with M degrees; you don't hear much about the school and its credentials. And let's say you're about football and not so much into academics.
Let's say you like it where it's warm, your family and friends don't really have a lot of college experience, and your dream in life is to play football. You haven't heard much about Michigan's academics, and it's possible that's just not important to you.
In such cases, you may be looking at the world a little differently from the academic whizzes who would be really excited about being accepted at Michigan. Or maybe, you've heard that everyone in your classes will be academic stars and you are concerned that the school work, combined with the athletic work, will be too much for you.
This may especially be true for an 18 year old football player. I'm not saying it's good, bad, or indifferent, but people are different from each other, and have different goals and aspirations.
I wish all these young men the best of luck, and I hope they're happy with their choices down the road. That's all that counts, at least for me.
I hate recruiting.
Willingham's small ego wouldn't fit in at U of M.
But another thing to turn away from College Football and sign up for UFC...
Im a lifelong Michigan fan but went to UCF. I would rather see him come to Michigan but I can see why he went to UCF. Their facilities are second to none and they have built a lot of buzz after their best season (beating Georgia) with a freshman quarterback. They have a lot to build on
I guess he doesn't like the cold. : - /
Good luck at UCF, Leilon.
Denver Post article provides Willingham's side of the story:
But [Rayshon] Williams' presence, Willingham said, really wasn't a factor in his decision.
"That was just something that came along with it," he said. "When I made my decision, I took football and Rayshon out of the picture. I took that coaching staff down there out of the picture. None of that's guaranteed to be there. Ray's not (guaranteed) to be there. The staff might not be there. I just thought about where I felt comfortable going to school for the next four to five years."
In retrospect, it's pretty clear that his "silent commit" to Michigan shouldn't have been taken that seriously:
Mullen AD Tony Schenbeck said Willingham committed to each school after each of his official visits. When it came to signing, though, "I just felt most comfortable at UCF," Willingham said.
This is exactly why I no longer follow recruiting as closely as I used to. You used to be able to take a young man at his word. A commitment on a recruiting weekend should ALWAYS be interpreted as "I had a good time".
Let's see, his last 2 visits were first to a place where it was about 10 degrees. His second was to a place where the sun was shining and it was probably 55-65 degrees warmer. I wonder if that had anything to do with it.

As the first of the year's great political conventions begins, it is undeniable that it is the Democratic Party that now faces the harrowing challenge and sublime prize of historic opportunity.
The modern Democratic Party was born, just over a century ago, when a young orator from the Midwest—William Jennings Bryan—rocked the national convention in Chicago in 1896.
The New Deal coalition may have met its doom on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial on Aug. 28, 1963, the day the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his "I Have A Dream" speech. The address would usher in a new era for the Democratic Party.
Bill Clinton was a political leader of exceptional skills and exceptional flaws. The drama of his presidency mesmerized Americans and confounded Republicans. GOP leaders underestimated Clinton and overestimated the public's support for their initiatives.
In 1972, the anti-war and anti-Nixon Democrats persuaded themselves that the youth of America would rise up and carry George McGovern's battered presidential campaign to victory. Yet there was a "silent majority" of young folks too.
If you want a glimpse of the future of America come to Fairfax County, Va. As the Democrats lost their grip on the South, the northern Virginia suburbs embraced the Republican Party. This trend is beginning to reverse.

A poem for our Golden Wedding - love, trust and togetherness, a shield against all that life has thrown our way.
After fifty years
Fifty years, now together
On the sofa we sit
You watch television
I embroider or knit
You read the paper
Sudoku I play
We chat, often laugh
As we pass through each day
We discuss or argue
We still have our views
And keep up to date
As we listen to news
The grim reaper has been
More than once to our door
Stolen our health
But took nothing more
He couldn't destroy bodies
Though severely he tried
And our spirit remains
Many tears we have cried
I often can't breath
Your joints can cause pain
We are warm and not hungry
So we can not complain
Those holidays we missed
Would just memories be
We imagine and talk
About what we didn't see
Our hidden companions
Patience and hope
Stay close at hand
And they help us to cope
Few visitors arrive
Family live far away
While we still have each other
We shall conquer each day
What more can I say?
We were truly most fortunate
That day back in time
When our paths briefly crossed
And we heard love's bell chime

Re: Late payments after charge-off
DW is experiencing the same thing. A paid collection showing on all 3 CRs (paper copies from the CRAs as well as MyFico ScoreWatch) is showing no lates reported anywhere--except on her MyFico EX report. Paper copy of her EX report shows no lates reported on this TL. Her EX FICO is 70 lower than her TU FICO. These phantom lates appears to be the principal contributors.

He summarized, "with the exception of HPA and serialize support its now pretty close to a straight replacement for drivers/ide on x86 systems (and boxes using PCI devices only). There is other stuff that wants improving still like error recovery on CRC, but its getting close."
He provides a list of recent changes then cautions, "please remember that functionality equivalence, and much cleaner code doesn't mean less bugs yet, there is a *lot* of testing and hammering on the code needed before it is production ready for switching." His current patch is for the 2.6.16-rc2 kernel.
