The darkness
Sam corpsegreen and her freindship sisters start to mess with magic will they be able to stop?
I'm sam Corpsegreen and I hope you never have what happened to me. It all started when I started feeling different and I knew something was watching me. A month before October me my freinds and I were talking about the upcoming haloween party which I was holding, we were sitting on the bench and suddenly I saw a flash behind my boyfreinds back. I went pale. I couldn't move for many long moments. I could just hear everyone calling "Sam are you O.K?" I tried to look at them but blacked out.

The real story of James
This story is about that guy James from twilight or what ever it's called. My friends are forcing me to write this. I don't even like twilight.
PS. Thats not the summary of the story.
Some Place in Italy in 1610
I can remember very little of what had happened to me. I remember that the pain was excrutiating. I couldn't take a second more of it. It felt like someone was burning me from the inside out. But I couldn't remember how I got where I was. One moment I was walking to my house and the next I was here, burning on the cold wet ground who knows where.
Now for some unknown reason, the burning has stopped. But I am very thirsty. It feels like my throat is on fire. Normally I would wish I had a tall glass of water, but now water doesn't sound...good enough. I need...something and I need it now. But what exactly do I need? I stood up. Everything was so clear and crisp. And it seemed like I could hear everything.
I could hear rats rummaging through garbbage, horse hooves in the distance, and a lady walking somewhere nearby. And I could also smell things. Smoke, garbbage, and something else. Something, sweet, and, inviting. It smelled wonderful. My throat burned in longing for it. I would have it. It would be mine. I stood up quickly and ran as fast as I could towards the smell.
Running was easy now, and I felt stronger. It seems that ever since I had gotten attacked I had become stronger, faster and more...acute of my senses. I let my nose lead me to the smell. The smell grew stronger and stronger as I ran. I was getting closer. My throat burned more and more with every passing second. Yes, I was almost there. Almost, Then out of nowhere, bam!
Someone ramned into me and knocked me to the ground. I didn't feel pain though. I hopped back up and for some reason I showed my teeth and growled. What was wrong with me. I never acted like this. My attacker stood tall in front of me. The man seemed familiar to me. But I don't remember where I had seen him before.
"Who are you? And why did you knock me over?" I asked. I was angry and the words came out fast. The man shook his head and, tsk tsked, at me.
"You are young. But you should still know better than to steal a person's meal away from them. Now you will have to pay for letting it get away." The man said. Only that he wasn't a man. He was a she. Her words were high pitched and sounded like a bell. What had the girl ment by, "you will have to pay for letting it get away", ?
I had no money on me. I started to protest but my body was filled with excrutiating pain. Not like the burning earlier, but like someone was shocking me. My legs gave out and I fell to the ground. The last thing I heard was the woman laughing. Then everything went black.

This third installment of Time Frames draws on The Media History Digital Library, a reservoir of information about early cinema that includes the sorts of magazines, journals, and trade publications that, in the pre-digital era, had only been available to those able to travel to research libraries. At over 800,000 scanned pages and growing, the collection is daunting. In Time Frames I'll cull through and select a series of images and text from the collection to highlight key transformative moments in the film culture and industry, as well as other oddities and obscure artifacts. Note: click on images to enlarge. Prior to the publication of the […]by Nicholas Rombes on Oct 7, 2013
If two recent adaptations of the "Snow White" tale offer any indication, the film industry takes the modern revisionist's pleasure in applying its cutting-edge tools to the creaky joints of bedtime stories. But Spanish director Pablo Berger swerves away from the familiar path taken by the likes of Snow White and the Huntsman and Mirror Mirror. His latest, Blancanieves, is a silent black-and-white film that appropriates more of the old than the new — and yet it feels fresher than the rest. The binary palette is no limitation, rendering the velvety texture of shadows and the film's gothic sensibility. Berger […]by Esther Yi on Mar 29, 2013
We are Ani & Cailin, founders of the barely one-year-old Bicephaly Pictures, and we've embarked on a wild journey to make our first feature film: Days of Gray. It's a modern-day fantastical silent film, scored by the amazing Iceland band Hjaltalín. The story follows an 11-year-old boy who lives in a timeless, barren land. His entire community must wear face masks outside to protect themselves from an epidemic that caused the people in the village next to theirs to develop strange animal mutations. The men on the boy's side first erected a wall to keep them out and then ultimately […]by Kira Simon-Kennedy and Ani Simon-Kennedy on May 23, 2012
So much depends upon… the position in which one reclines. Seated next to me in the elite section of a flight to Doha, Qatar, an Indian financial wizard with rings on each slim finger nodded and looked thoughtfully out the plane window. Across the aisle, Harvey Weinstein, an overstuffed teddy bear in Qatar Airways pajamas, turned another page of "My Week with Marilyn" and growled for the stewardess. Upon touchdown, a phalanx of young stewards ushered a group of remarkably well-rested travelers into private cars and whisked us away to the second annual Doha Tribeca Film Festival. Could any film […]by Livia Bloom on Nov 5, 2010

I struck out into the forest, Medusa at my side. He was not big enough as a phoenix, nowhere near big enough to ride, even though he was able to fly. I relied on him so we could follow the phoenix girl. She got farther and farther ahead, but I kept going.
I was quite winded and out of breath before Medusa came out of the canopy. He had been flying often, trying to keep us on the right track. He cawed quietly, nudging my hand. He didn't want me going too hard.
Then he cawed in a direction, west, I believed, and I followed him. He revealed a horse, fully saddled and bridled. I smiled. "How?" I asked. He motioned to a stable not far off. I laughed. "We'll bring the horse back some other time."
He ran quickly ahead, then slowed down, but still not stopping. He was ilustrating them. "They're slowing down, but not stopping?" I asked.
He nodded his head. "Medusa, I want you too fly as hard and fast as you can. Don't worry about me, I'll stay on the right path. Find them. Call to them and try to get them to stop. If you can't get them to stop, turn a few trees into stone. This will work well if they are under the canopy of the trees. I want to find them."
He flew off, with a look back at me. I smiled, and waved.
Hours later, Medusa found me. He put his head under his wing, and indicated with his beak the canopy. "They're under the canopy, sleeping?" I asked. He nodded. I started the horse into a fast canter. He also motioned to a stone. I smiled. "You turned the trees around them to stone?" He nodded.
Finally it was quite dark, but the moon was full, and cast a good light upon everything. I didn't feel tired, for some reason. The light of the moon and the cool, brisk wind kept me quite awake.
After a long while Medusa indicated that we were nearing the place where the phoenix and the girl were. I sighed. Dawn was just appearing, a rosy glow flushing the horizon.
The first gold light was just coming up when Medusa and I found the place. A circle of stone trees encased the area. I watched them both, and I felt a pang of jelousy. Such a noble creature. But then I looked at Medusa, and smiled.
The girl was looking at the stone trees. She knocked one, and broke off a stone branch. I knocked on a tree too, and smiled at her.
"Hello!" I said cheerily. "Can I travel with you?" Her eyes widened. "Hello, phoenix girl. I'm Linda. Cockatrice girl."

A Facebook user who goes by the name Mazi Odera - has weighed in on the Miss Anambra lesbian sex tape scandal.
Mr Odera claims to have inside information about a "mafia" that uses sex tapes to ruin the lives of young girls.
His revelations are coming hours after the dethroned Miss Anambra, Chidinma Okeke, cried out on Facebook over threat to her life by blackmailers who threatened to shoot her dead if she exposes secrets of their sex mafia.
According to him, a certain Mr Uche Nworah who heads Anambra broadcast service (the organisers of the beauty pageant) - uses female students who come for industrial training at ABS network as sex slaves.
He also revealed that contestants in the Miss Anambra pageant are used as Executive prostitutes - sent to sleep with top government officials and rich men in the state. He added that the competition is a scam - and he feels that the State Government is somehow linked to the whole fraud.
Scroll down to read his epistle on the sex scandal. WARNING - it's a very LONG read.
ABS AWKA AND SEX SCANDAL ,THE WORRIES GBAGAM GBAGAM ON WEDNESDAY POP CORN ,THE ABS SEX TRADE by MAZI ODERA 26/10/16
Okwodi mmadu nwe ogodo ewu na ata [It is someone that owns the wrapper the goat is chewing] .
We know that some Girls have long throat and that puts them into trouble ,but some where forced by circumstances of hardship to become a victim or promise from High and Might that makes them to believe that Messiah second coming has come to them earlier .
For Days now the LORDS of ABS TELEVISION ,the MD UCHE NWORAH who prefer to call self "NWA ABA" has been reigning supreme as KING of FRAUD over the Young and future Hope of the state ,making them miserable and lost for personal aggrandisement and personal Lust .
I am not against the money he is making from ABS which he never accounted for because he will send Innocent Girls who came for Industrial Training or who entered for the ABS PAGEANT as SEX PAY OFF to the Authority and because he supply them Young Girls for sexual satisfaction ,he became untouchable.
What they do to pretty girls that went to ABS for IT ,is something for another day not today's discussion . Not even who is WILLIE OKOYE and his role in the whole charade including any girl that serviced HIM well enough ,she will be employed as GUEST ARTISTE at ABS and not even a soul will comment . The Job description of Guest Artist can be called SEX ARTISTE and it will be well presented .
The Government certainly cannot say that they were,nt aware that ABS always sent out GIRLS that came to enter into the PAGEANT into the street in a SCAM they called "ONE MILLION GIRLS" ,this Girls will be giving 10 FORMS to be sold at 100,000 NAIRA EACH ,then the mission is for each to sale 10 SONSORSHIP FORMS at 100K ,meaning you make 1 MILLION NAIRA for ABS HUNCHO ,that automatically qualified you for the 21 contestants ,that is after they have finished using your PRIVATE PART as breakfast ,Lunch and Diner .So in cause of selling the FORM ,you caught HIV or any VENERAL DIEASE they will simply wash hands off you and move on to those that get them the money . The health and faith of the Girls does not matter ,what matters is to satisfy the Urge of this Brutes and using this Girls as executive Prostitutes that will make them money and nothing more .
The Girls that are unfortunate not to have people that can buy the FORMS from them are placed under ABIOLA JINADU the SUPER NUMBER 1 PARTNER of the Boss ,that is talking about when he wants to DO lady and KC when he wants to DO MALE ,both ABIOLA and KC acts like a love-vendor for BOSS whenever he wants to satisfy his BI SEXUAL URGE .
If this ONE MILLION GIRLS cannot meet the target ,ABIOLA will arrange for the Girls to be PIMPED OFF ,some time to ABUJA ,ENUGU,ASABA and where ever there is call to go and service any man that can pay directly into the coffers of the BOSS ,just transport fares for the Girl with marching Order to go –SERVICE AND RETURN .
It is when they make enough money that they will tell the Girl that She has met the target and then she can be enrolled into the 21 . Where on earth do they expect this Girls to meet Men that can give them 100K per FORM and on what basis ? they simply turn this innocent small girls to EXECUTIVE WHORES and ruin them for life under the watchful eyes of the Government, under the banner of same Government that swore to protect them .
We continue talking about THE BOSS who abandoned the Wife and Children in LONDON and came to Nigeria to live a life that disgust even SATAN himself .
Back to ABS ,they abandoned NEWS and NEWS related and now they delve into BEAUTY CONTEST turning our children into Sex slaves and the WOMEN in the state kept quiet . Securities too weak to investigate and the scam continued .
Presently they forced an innocent Girl who won the treacherous MISS ANAMBRA to continue being a victim and when She said enough is enough ,She became subject that must be gotten rid off .
The Girl returned her CAR and Her CROWN after several threat to her life ,after they promise to end her future ,but that was just the beginning ..
What is the ROLE OF IFEANYI AND OKWUOTO in the shooting of the CUCUMBER Compromizing Video ?
WHO are the men behind the Camera during the recording ?
Where did they rent for the shooting ?
Where this GIRLS KIDNAPPED and force under Duress to act as LESBIANS ,so it can be used in black mailing them knowing fully well that such presentation will repulse people and humiliate the Girls ?
Do the producers think NDI ANAMBRA so dumb that we cannot tell when a deadly set of people start acting like MAFIANS ? ,,We certainly know that there is no way , if both girls are LESBIANS for they to stand a VIDEO and record self and then release it later ,sure ABS may have done a dirty deal and that must be why they forced the girls to become a Victim of blackmail .
Watch the Video ABS released on the 11th of October the same day they leaked the CUCUMBER VIDEO,. Why cut short the reign of a beauty queen inside an Office ,when she was crowned in the public and why recording the return and use DATE STAMP on it ?
She returned the Car and crown, so the car will be used for another victim.
Maybe because they want to wash hands off the beauty queen before offering her as sacrifice .
Maybe they realise that the hate campaign will boomerang on the Government who gave her the crown that made her ambassador of the state ,so they forced her on VIDEO to return everything and made sure that they recorded the scene and leak same a day before the leak the Compromizing Video which they cannot feign ignorance of the recording .
Watch the defence of ABS and see how wicked they plotted the downfall of the young girl and now they have slated another trap for another Girl who they will also put under spell, then video her again for another black mail if she refused to succumb to perpetual BANGING.
They have set another date for another pageant, another scam and another scandal.
onye obuna si kwo oburu nwa nne ya Nwanyi .
THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD MAKE THIS MONSTER CALLED UCHE TO STAY IN DETENTION out of ABS until this is investigated and if found guilty ,they should send him to Prison without Windows ,any of them found incorrabo should not only be sacked but giving prison ward where CUCUMBER should be used on them for better experience as well .
Sure we are not dumb not to see the pupils of the Girls and how they are acting as if they are dying ,then despite the Drugs and VOODOO they were Hypnotized with ,you can still see that the girls are under fear of LIFE ,meaning that somebody is pointing a life taking instrument at them behind the Camera .
The Securities should look at the Video and decide where it was shot ,who and who where behind the Camera . There was a good Lighting in the Room meaning that STUDIO LIGHT were used to laminate the place .The Camera used is not PHONE or CAMCODER ,the recording must have been done with High powered HAND HELD DIGITAL DEVICE that can only be obtained at TELEVISION or professional Video Coverage .
How did it end up in the room where the so called CUCUMBER SEX where held ?
Why did they ask the Girl [Beauty Queen ] to get out from AWKA or she is a Finished girl ? why did it take the alarm from her friends to force the VAMPIRES in ABS to release the black mailing VIDEO shot under duress ?
Why is the state protecting this group of heartless beings ?
Why are they using ABS as protection and industry for SEX SLAVES ?
What is the qualification of UCHE NWORAH to be the Boss at ABS ? WHEN that position flows through the rank ,,meaning that the MD falls on the most senior and not some POLITICAL APPOINTEE .
The state should investigate this ABS Compromizing Video and maybe reward the maker same way the rewarded the man who made the VIDEO OF "INCONSSITENT OF A DRUNK" or punish them .
POINT TO NOTE –DID YOU NOTICE THAT NOT EVEN ONE PERSON in support of the Government has find it fit to comment or rise above this abominable ABS scam ? why is it so ,does it mean that this is conspiracy that went high above ? why is ABS not commenting and the state Government who this Girl represented and who has been posing with Pictures with the Governor ,yet they refused to say a word but in favour or against ?
Have we all wondered why ABS has EMEKA OZUMBA who is a serving SSA to GOVERNOR OBIANO on the day they rushed Chidinma to handover the Crown ,even though in everything pageant out going Queen will always crown the New one and that is the official handover and they do not hand over CAR ,but why did CHIDINMA handed over everything ?
Did EMEKA OZUMBA stand inn for the Governor or he was there to make sure that the charade was a success ?
If the Governor surrogate was at the emergency handover ,how can we say with assurance that none of them where behind the Camera when they KIDNAPPED AND Ran THIS GIRLS in a fashion that made the Girls to appear as Lesbians ?
What the Ladies of influence in the state should do and every other person at that is not to blame this Victimized GIRLS but to take them to Deliverance ,for them to be delivered from the Evil manipulations they used to sear away the real mind of this Girls ,what they need is rallying behind them to exorcise them of the Satanic lust this set of Devils agent planted in them in course of time .
This Girls are not doing all this with clear eyes and until a deliverance is conducted .
I read some of the Micro idiots said that the Girl was paid 1 million to make the Film by a Millionaire ,meaning that they know who made the Video and the Millionaire ,so what stops the Security from asking them to provide the Millionaire and the second question is ,IF it was a Millionaire that paid for the Video to be made ,why then did he release it ,sorry made ABS to release it ?
The Video came in two segments meaning that it was edited and the Voices behind the Camera removed ,so it was edited in TELEVISION STUDIO and who has such reach ? having in mind that the organizer of the pageant has released a Video , 1 day after which made it appears as if Chidimma has returned her Crown ,then they release the BLACKMAILING VIDEO .
Can the Government say with finality that they had no hand in that ,and that SSA OZUMBA went there on his own accord ?
Where is the FIRST LADY OF THE STATE ? IS THIS NOT WHERE SHE SHOULD SPEAK OUT AND CRY OUT ? OR IS SHE WAITING FOR OBY EZEKWESIRI TO FLY DOWN AND LEAD THE CRUSADE ?
Do we still have HUMAN RIGHT GROUPS IN THIS NATION ?
Anya kam ji !!!

I worked in Ecuador for five years. One of my favorite things to do was enjoy the Ecuadorian ceviche de camaron. In my opinion, the key to making ceviche del Ecuador is the yellow mustard. It gives a moderate amount of "picante" to your palate. The juices combined with the red onion, cilantro and tomato offer a hint of sweetness. I added a bit more mustard than called for, as well as a diced jalapeño pepper. There are so many wonderful variations of Ecuadorian ceviche. I have always enjoyed ceviche whenever I traveled to Latin America. Now I occasionally go to Mexico and enjoy their splendid cuisine. But for my personal tastes, the Ecuadorian style ceviche is the best.

Refelctions from Outside
Leigh grined. It'd been a long time since she flicked her channel over to watch The Hideout. She was happy to see Elric and Corby talking. Heck she was happy to see Corby.
Although, Leigh looked at the passed out figure of Calamari Fish Face, ah how that nickname had grown on her. Leigh shook her head to clear her thoughts. Skyrah was technically his adopted daughter as well as Flamara's.
Should she wake him and let him know the trouble the girl was in? Would she be able to keep up and somehow keep her promise to Corby. But Corby admitted she was no longer dying, for that Leigh was grateful. Leigh chewed her lip.
Sure California was nice and sunny with road to ride a plenty, but she was here with Sealantus. Only Sealentus, and sometimes you needed to talk to some one who wasn't your boyfriend. Leigh paced to where he slept. Positioning herself to block the paused scene she woke him with a kiss to the lips.
Saelantus opened his eyes with a smile; a smile that soon faded as he caught sight of Leigh's expresion. "What's up?"
"I think we should go back."
"Go back where?" he looked utterly confused. It probably didn't help that he was still sleepy. Sealantus sat up as Leigh moved away.
"Skyrah's in trouble at The Hideout. I think Flamara and Ara might appreciate our help."
Leigh let Sealantus watch what she just did. She would go back if he wished to. Going back to see Corby was selfish, but if he thought they could help save Skyrah, then that was a cause worth returning for. Nervous to see what Sealantus's decision might be Leigh wondered how they would return.
Don't worry, I can get you back in her long absent author's soft voice replied.

It doesn't matter what weapon you use — threatening anyone with bodily harm is never okay. That's why a flight from Tunisia to Edinburgh, Scotland was diverted to London after a woman who was reportedly drunk allegedly attacked cabin crew with her prosthetic leg, after demanding "cigarettes and a parachute."

Plane Diverted After Drunk Woman Allegedly Demands A Parachute, Attacks Crew With Prosthetic Leg
Virgin America Flight Attendant's Safety Demo Shows That He Can Kick A Lot Higher Than You
The fascination — if there's any to be had — with airlines' safety demonstrations wears off pretty much during the first 30 seconds the first time you hear one. And then once you've been through one safety demo, you've been through them all. At least, until you're faced with a high-kicking, dancing and strutting Virgin America flight attendant. [More]
Flight Attendant Blows .258 On Breathalyzer, Pleads Not Guilty To Working While Drunk
A flight attendant on a Delta commuter route appears to have imbibed a little more than she thought, after a breathalyzer test determined her blood alcohol content was three times over the legal limit. [More]
Air Marshals & Flight Attendants Not So Happy With This "Knives Are Okay On Planes Now" Thing
Yesterday the Transportation Security Administration announced that it was tweaking the rules regarding small pocketknives, carry-on golf clubs and other sporting equipment. While travelers sick of losing their Swiss Army knives and other little blades rejoiced over the decision, groups representing Federal Air Marashals and flight attendants are all like, "Wait, hold up — knives on planes? Really?" [More]
Cathay Pacific Flight Attendants Threaten To Withhold Smiles, Booze On Flights
No booze, food or even smiles — Cathay Pacific passengers could be in for a chilly reception from flight attendants this holiday season. Cabin staff are threatening to withhold all of the above as well as action that could potentially cause flight delays, all because of a pay dispute, its union announced today. It'll be a stark break from Cathay's usual reputation of great service and prove to be quite a headache for the airline. [More]
Flight Attendant: If It Exists, Passengers Have Asked Me For It
When flying, the flight attendant can provide you with food, drink, blankets, information, and maybe a pen to fill in that customs declaration form. But there are certain things the attendant simply can't help you with. [More]
Too-Tense Flight Attendant Booted From Flight For Telling Passengers To Leave Plane "If They Have The Balls"
After all the stories of flight attendants who were perhaps a little too eager to toss passengers off flights for minor infractions, it's a refreshing change of pace to read about a flight attendant who had to be removed from a delayed plane for taking his frustrations out on passengers.
Phoenix-Based Flight Attendant Death In Mexico Investigated As Homicide
Authorities are investigating the possibility that a US Airways flight attendant who died during a layover in Mexico City was murdered. The 33-year-old employee, who was based out of Phoenix, was found dead in his hotel room, stripped naked and tied up.
Travelers Would Actually Pay Attention To Pre-Flight Safety Instructions If They Were More Like This
Airlines should take a cue from this sketch video and incorporate more dance moves into their pre-flight safety instructions if they really want passengers to start paying attention.
Southwest Flight Attendants May Sue Over Pilot's "Gays, Grannies & Grandes" Rant
Yesterday, an unnamed Southwest Airlines pilot made headlines when it was discovered he'd accidentally broadcast his complaints about the lack of straight, slender, young hotties working as flight attendants for the airline to Houston air traffic control and anyone else listening in. Not surprisingly, the attendants — regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation or bangability — are not pleased.
Flight Attendants Stage Mini Mutiny, Give Away Free Booze On Flight
No one — aside from airline shareholders — is a big fan of the numerous ancillary fees airlines continue to nickel-and-dime travelers with, not even the flight attendants. And at least on one recent flight, some attendants decided they were going to quietly flip the middle finger to their overlords by giving out a bunch of free stuff.
Why Your Flight Attendant Hates You
Ever wonder what could drive a flight attendant to curse passengers out, pop open the emergency slide and go for a ride? Well, even if you hadn't, the good people at Reader's Digest asked a bunch of flight attendants what sort of behaviors really get under their skin.
Zero Witnesses Back Slater's Story
Authorities have interviewed every single passenger that was on Steven Slater's last flight, and not a single one says events went down the way he's been describing them, according to a Port Authority police official.
Ryanair's Newest Cost Cutting Idea: Remove Second Pilot
Did Ryanair's publicity-chasing CEO Michael O'Leary read about that American Airlines flight back in June? In a recent interview, he suggested that one way to reduce costs would be to get rid of the second pilot and just make sure every flight has a flight attendant with a pilot's license.
JetBlue CEO: Slide-Jumping Flight Attendant 'Not A Hero In My Book'
Three weeks after JetBlue flight attendant Steven Slater earned his 15 minutes of fame by freaking out and taking an unscheduled trip down the jet's emergency exit slide, the airline's CEO Dave Barger is finally speaking out on the incident. Let's just say he won't be watching Slater's reality show.
Southwest Flight Attendant Changes Her Story About Taking Crying Baby From Mom
Remember how there was much confusion over exactly what happened with the crying baby who was reportedly taken from her mother during a Southwest Airlines flight? The police said the flight attendant took the baby to the back of the plane, while a Southwest rep said she just offered to hold the baby for a second. Now, the attendant is saying she "made a mistake," but it wasn't her actions that were mistaken, it was what she originally told police.
Southwest Flight Attendant Takes Screaming Baby From Arguing Parents
What, exactly, happened on a recent Southwest Airlines flight from Dallas to Albuquerque? Did a thoughtful flight attendant give a restless baby a change of scenery while her parents argued, or was the airline employee out of line to remove a screaming child from her parents and notify police on the ground of a suspected abuse case? Even those who were on the plane aren't sure.
Woman Says Southwest Refused To Serve Her Alcohol, Wouldn't Say Why
Angel says she hadn't had any alcohol before getting on her Southwest Airlines flight last week, but for some reason the flight attendant decided–after first taking her order–that she felt "uncomfortable" serving Angel her vodka and Coke.

so if the max RPM of the VXL Brushless Motor is 50,000 and the RPM per Volt is 3500, then 14.4v x 3500 = 50,400 RPM which is 400 over the Motors max RPM and wouldnt be good for the motor.

There is nothing better in life than love, and doing something that costs nothing. London is a big city, and as such it can charge big city prices for things as simple as a hotdog or a nice date. With dates not averaging out at around £200 there are ways that you can inject the romance into things, without having to break the bank. And if you know where to look, you can even factor in the company of a gorgeous girl without having to spend a fortune as well. Girls like cheap London escorts offer services for affordable prices. She can keep you company when you need it, she will provide you with the girlfriend experience if you want to do something simple like hang out on the couch watching a DVD, and she will even act as your date to a business function. But, why not treat both you and her to something a little romantic, a little fun, and more importantly, affordable.
Dependent on where you live you can find many places for a great free date. All it takes to organise something is to think a little outside the square. Instead of splashing money on tickets to shows and concerts, why not take cheap London escorts to an open air performance? Street performers are all over the city, from parks to comedy clubs, all you need to know is where to find them. Online is your best source for anything to do with London, so along with finding entertainment you can arrange a date with your escort at the same time. A quick online search with present you with a myriad of options, and by searching escorts by price you can find a girl who is not only gorgeous, but also not going to bankrupt you during the course of your date together.
Another great idea for a date is to perhaps to take a romantic walk through Hyde Park in the evening. People open up in the evening with a walk, so talk to her about anything and everything that comes to mind. Remember that this girl is more than a pretty face, she is also charming and discreet, and so no matter what secrets she manages to get out of you, she won't tell a soul! After your walk you can hit the town for hot chocolate or why not warm up back at your place or her place if it's nearer with a sensual massage? Cheap London escorts have many talents and sensual massage is one of them. But there are many more things she can do, from private strip shows through to sexy dance moves, these are all things that can take your date night from affordable to priceless, so, what are you waiting for?

An overweight man with a knack for keeping a football in the air has become the latest internet sensation after footage showing him playing keepy-uppy were posted online.
The two minute clip taken on a mobile phone, shows the man uses his head, knees and shoulders to keep the football up in the air as he practises on a patch of tarmac near the docks in Milford Haven, Pembrokeshire.
And the man, who was identified as Andrew Cassidy, 50, said he had been invited to Dubai to take part in the World Freestyle Football Championships after the footage was spotted online.
Mr Cassidy has been a well-known figure in the Welsh town for more than a decade, but when new footage showing him keeping the ball up for nearly a minute was posted on the Spotted: Milford Haven Facebook page, his reputation went global as football fans the world over marvelled at his skills.
The clip shows him giving an impressive display likened by one website to that of footballing legend Diego Maradona, rolling the ball around his neck and shoulders without touching it.

text: Code: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0435107/ Also known as: Koi no Mon Language: Japanese Subtitle: English (Soft-subbed) Release Date: 2004 Genre: Comedy / Drama / Romance Synopsis: Mon Aoki (Ryuhei Matsuda) is a down-on-his-luck manga artist who can't seem to hold down a steady job, partly due to his hobo-like attire and partly due to his stubborn belief that one day his art will actually sell. The only problem with that belief is he doesn't draw traditional manga; he paints on rocks and arranges them in wooden boxes, a method that hasn't quite captured the imaginations of rabid manga fans as of yet. One day while trying to find his way to the next part-time job he spots a particularly manga-worthy rock on the ground. When he bends down to pick it up (after an overly-flashy slow motion dive set to up-tempo music, of course) a young woman's heel comes crashing down on his hand. After a hearty yelp of anguish her eyes meet his and his eyes meet her panties. Yep, it's love at first sight. The moment is interrupted however, because she's late for work at Tsugino Happy Inc., a company where nothing is tolerated but happiness (and complete subordination).

Wernian Gully
He knew exactly where he was. He had spent hours etching every detail of the region's maps into his mind, and as he closed his eyes it appeared before him. Wernian Gully was the place. He knew he was getting close. As he trudged along, Tibi recited the words from the journal of the great frontiersman Morty "Roughskin" Hiton, who travelled this land decades ago:
When traversing the woodlands of the Strangeground I found it necessary to use the well-traveled paths of animals native to the region. Stray from the path and the trees here will scatter your direction and wits.
Snapping any branches that got in his way, Tibi charged deeper into the woods. The days of old Roughskin were far gone, Tibi reasoned, and the wood had now been carefully cartographed by his predecessors. He knew exactly how to reach the center of the forest.
Roots caught at his feet, vines snagged his limbs and neck, but even so Tibi pressed onwards.
"It is fine and right to oppose nature," Tibi muttered, "for such is the task of humanity: has our history not been one continuous struggle to survive nature's cruelties?" Gaddius. Not his favorite writer, but a convenient enough one to quote now.
After some time Tibi drew his sword. A bright, sharp thing that he liked very much, it was given to him a long time ago. Modeled after the short swords of an empire long past, it was designed best for piercing unarmored flesh. But he used it now to lop the more knotted branches from the trees around him; the wood had grown too dense to let him through without a fight. Once or twice beasts slinked from the thickets to strike him: small, quick things whose teeth scraped against his metal greaves. They disappeared as quickly as they arrived.
Night fell suddenly, and between the suffocating darkness and the visor of his helm Tibi was finding it hard to see. Hacking a clearing in the branches and brambles, he kindled a small fire. Tibi sat near the fire, laid his sword across his lap, sat up straight with his hands at his sides, and with the warmth at his front and the cold at his back he strove to divorce himself from earthly burdens and negative influences, as he did every night.
After some time Tibi found inspiration from the depths of his mind and scratched out a letter with his ink and a dwindling supply of parchment. His writing was small and close together to save space, and danced uncertainly in the flickers of the firelight:
Mr. Sidhamma,
As you have queried, I have had the pleasure of reading your Connections and Revelations. I took great inspiration from your take on the status of the soul, and I see good prospect in your political ideal of the secluded hamlet-commune. We must meet sometime and discuss this in greater detail. On your sense of spiritual connectedness with nature, and your writings on channeling the energy of the earth I simply diverge with you; throughout the course of my experiences and observations I have concluded that there is no great force, earthly or cosmic, that one can channel or connect through via meditation or spiritual harmony with nature. You have heard, no doubt, of the recent movement of "evidentialism" that has seized hold of many of our fellow philosophers and thinkers. I'm afraid I have been turned as well, my friend; to use your-
His hand swept a violent black stripe across the parchment as the monster tackled him.

The City regulator bared its teeth against Royal Bank of Scotland again yesterday with a £5.6m fine for failing to report properly more than a third of its investment banking deals over five and a half years.
On what was another bad day for the state-owned bank, regulators issued the sanction just hours after one of the most highly regarded front-runners to replace the outgoing chief executive Stephen Hester, Mark McCombe, ruled himself out of the job.
Widespread misreporting of trades took place under the regimes of both the disgraced Fred Goodwin and Mr Hester. It even continued after the Financial Services Authority contacted the bank to complain in 2010.
A staggering 44.8 million transactions were not properly reported to the regulator, and 804,000 were not reported at all.
The FCA, like its predecessor the FSA, relies on accurate reporting of deals by investment banks so that it can pursue possible cases of insider trading or market abuse.
The regulator said much of the failure to report had resulted from RBS's disastrous and hugely expensive take–over of the Dutch investment bank ABN Amro in October 2007 under Mr Goodwin, which eventually led to the £45bn taxpayer bailout of RBS in 2008.
Tracey McDermott, the FCA's director of enforcement and financial crime, said: "Effective market surveillance depends on accurate and timely reporting of transactions. We have set out clear guidance on transaction reporting, backed up by extensive market monitoring, and we expect firms to get it right. "
Yesterday's fine is the 11th handed out by the FCA since it was created on 1 April, meaning a total of £23.9m in penalties has been imposed on individuals and financial institutions. It is also the latest in a stream of fines on RBS, including the £87.5m sanction earlier this year for its role in the Libor fixing scandal and £2.8m for the way it handled complaints over payment protection insurance.
Mr McCombe emailed colleagues at the fund management giant BlackRock yesterday morning, telling them that he would not be leaving, after he was named as the leading candidate for the RBS job.
The former Barclays executive David Roberts and National Australia Bank's Cameron Clyne are now the only serious external candidates. The internal frontrunner remains RBS's head of retail banking, Ross McEwan, followed by its corporate bank head, Chris Sullivan, ahead of Nathan Bostock, who is due to become finance director.

A good course for the mid to higher level players. Can be very technical. Has multiply hole that have water hazards. Also has many holes that are in the woods. But over all an excellent course to play, You will want to come and play it over and over again
by hdrocker on Jan 16, 2011 at 6:24pm
Some holes are just way too long. It is a difficult course to play with lots of hazzards. Definately for the more experienced disc golfer.
A strange mix. Some of the holes are extremely long--one is 1000 feet--and some are extremely short (150 feet). It has elevation holes, water holes, open holes, and wooded holes.

Gets a 4 instead of a 5 only because the back nine floods during summer and I'm not in love with some of the holes, but it's still a course I play every time I'm in the QC area.

This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 09/736,477, filed Dec. 13, 2000, which issued as U.S. Pat. No. 6,775,671.
The present invention relates in general to the field of computing in resource-poor environments, such as mobile and wireless computing systems, and, more particularly, to a method for the adaptation of component-based application programs.
A user's computing experience is affected by the scarcity or abundance of computer resources. One such resource is network bandwidth in the client-server computing model. The less bandwidth available to the user, the less quickly the user will be able to access data over a communications link or run applications that rely on data transmitted through the communications link. The bandwidth limitation is aggravated in the case of mobile clients, i.e., clients that exist in client-server environments or other environments and that attempt to transmit data through wireless or other non-fixed connections. Further, when applications or data designed for high bandwidth networks is used in bandwidth-limited networks, the computing environment of a user at a client computer, including mobile client computers, can become extremely slow. For mobile clients that rely on standalone battery power, the time consumed by receiving a file over a bandwidth-limited network also consumes computing time that could be spent on other tasks.
Adaptation is the manipulation of the operation of an application or the alteration of data that is being used by or transmitted to or from an application. The two fundamental kinds of adaptation are control adaptation, such as when the operation of an application is manipulated, and data adaptation, which occurs when the data of application is adapted. A common example of control adaptation occurs when control is returned to the user after only a subset of the requested data is loaded by the application, even though the normal behavior of the application would require that all of the data be loaded before control is returned to the user. A common example of data adaptation occurs when the content of a data element is altered to improve the latency effect of computing with the data in mobile computing or client-server computing environments. Many adaptation schemes involve a change to both the behavior of an application and the data of the application. Known control adaptation schemes often involved customized applications designed to be adaptable by the user, or the use of standard applications together with specialized operating systems or applications that adapt the content of data used by the applications, or combinations thereof.
Application programs may be logically organized to include several sub-applications or components. Each component of the application may perform a specialized function. As an example, an office productivity application may include a word processing component, a spreadsheet component, and an image presentation component. Although each of the components can exist separately as its own application, in this example, each of the components is a subset of a larger application. The integration of components into a larger application is made possible by the inclusion in each component of a known application programming interface (API). The use of an open API allows an application to be constructed from several individual components from several sources. In addition to APIs that allow the embedding of a document of one component within a document of another component, an application may also include an automation or scripting API that permits one component to control the behavior of another component.
Examples of component-based applications include the Microsoft Office Suite, MICROSOFT INTERNET EXPLORER, AOL's NETSCAPE COMMUNICATOR, KDE Office Suite, and Star Office. Although traditionally associated with the Windows platform and with Component Object Model/Distributed Component Object Model COM/OLE technology, component-based technologies are becoming more common in the UNIX world as well, where the push for component-based technologies is being led by the GNOME and KDE projects. These open source initiatives strive to enable the development of applications that allow the seamless integration of components that have a consistent look-and-feel. An example is KOffice, an open source productivity suite with powerful scripting capabilities. More recently, StarOffice released a version of its cross-platform productivity suite that implements a sophisticated object model that allows scripting by third-party applications through a CORBA-based interface.
A file generated by a component-based application is often a compound file, containing elements created by several of the sub-applications or components. As an example, a compound file could include a spreadsheet, an image, and text. Generally, every data type in a compound file is created and managed by a separate one of the sub-applications or components. These data files may become quite large, and, when communicated in a mobile computing environment or over a client-server network, may contribute to a significant latency effect being experienced by the user. Thus, even though these compound files provide for the accumulation of several different data types within a single file, these documents can be so large that the users experience severe latency effects when requesting the delivery of these files over client-server networks.
The present invention concerns a method for adapting the operation of an application or the data being used by the application. The adaptation process involves the use of a client proxy, associated with the application being adapted, and a server proxy, associated with the data being requested by the application. The client proxy includes a policy element that directs the manner in which the application or data is adapted. Upon issuing a request for a document, the requested document is retrieved by the server proxy and translated into a data structure that is application-independent and represents the data structure of the document and the type, location, and size of the data components of the document. This data structure is transmitted to the server proxy. The policy determines from the data structure the application-specific data components of the data structure that are to be retrieved and supplied to the application.
The data supplied to the application is a variation of the data requested by the application. The variation received by the application can differ from the data requested according to both the version of the data supplied as compared to the version of the data requested and according to a subset of the data supplied as compared to the data requested. The application may be adapted in that it may operate on a lower fidelity version of the data requested or a subset of the data requested. The data of the application may be adapted in that the data may be altered to produce a lower fidelity version of the data requested.
The data of the application may be updated. The updating process may be initiated by the occurrence of a tracked event. If a tracked event occurs, such as the passage of the mouse over an image, the client proxy may request from the server proxy a higher fidelity version of a particular data element. Once received by the client proxy, the higher fidelity image is supplied to the application. The updating process may occur without reference to a tracked event and according to the policy. After the application is provided with a subset of a requested requested, allowing the client proxy to provide the application with the entirety of the document requested.
The present invention is advantageous in that it improves the computing experience for computer users in resource-poor environments. By adapting an application or data, a user with power or bandwidth limitations, for example, can use applications and data written or prepared for a resource-rich environment, despite the inherent limitations of the user's computing environment. Another advantage of the present invention is that it includes both application-independent modules and application-specific modules. As applications are adapted for the techniques of the present inventions, a suite of application-specific processing modules can be created to handle the limitations in the computing experience introduced by the application or the data created for use by the application. Further, the use of application-specific modules permits these modules to be tailored to the specific needs of the computer user. As such, these modules may be as complex as necessary to alleviate the computing resource deficiencies being experienced by the user. Other technical advantages of the present invention will be readily apparent to one skilled in the art from the following figures, descriptions, and claims.
A more complete understanding of the present invention and advantages thereof may be acquired by referring to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numbers indicate like features, and wherein:
The present invention concerns a component-based adaptation system and method that applies application-specific adaptation policies to the components of an application in a client-server environment. Component-based adaptation does not require access or modification to the source code of a component, and does not require any modifications to the content of a requested document as that document is stored on a data server. Rather, component-based adaptation uses the exposed APIs of the component applications and manipulates the fidelity or the content of the requested document as that document is passed from the server to the client. In this manner, without modifying the source code of an application component or permanently altering the content of a document, control or data adaptation can be performed, respectively, on an application or the documents that the application is using. Data and control adaptation can be performed simultaneously.

The adaptation method of the present invention can adapt one or more of the components of an application so long as the compound structure of documents of the application can be determined and so long as the components of the application include a run-time interface that allows the run-time modification of the data present internally in the application. A run-time interface of an application component that allows for the manipulation of the data present internally in an application is known as a Data Manipulation Interface (DMI), which is a subset of the API of the application component. The run-time interface or DMI permits the dynamic manipulation of the data that is present internally in the application. As an example, if an application such as a web browser is displaying a page containing an image at a low fidelity level, the presence of a DMI in the web browser allows the replacement of the lower fidelity image with a higher fidelity version of the same image. Thus, the application, through its DMI, allows the alteration through a second external application of the data that is being processed by the application during the time that the application is working on the data.
Client kernel 28 and server kernel 32 are each component-independent modules that facilitate the transfer of document requested by the application 14. Neither kernel has knowledge of the specifics of the component applications or the documents being adapted. Instead, each kernel operates on a description of the documents that is independent of the application components used in generating the document, the description being referred to as Component Independent Format (CIF). The CIF includes the data skeleton of the document, which describes the data structure of the document, and a set of data items. The format of many compound documents (i.e., documents produced by several application components and containing data corresponding to each of those application components) allows them to be easily translated into a tree-like data structure. The data skeleton has the form of a tree, with the root of the tree being the document being retrieved and the children of the tree being the pages, slides, or other individual data components of the document. The data components may be stored in a format that is specific to the application component that generated them. In the case of a document that is nominally a word processing document, the document may contain not only one or more text data components, but also other data components in the form of spreadsheets or images, each possibly in a different format, specific to the application component that generated them.
The data skeleton is a multi-level data structure. A data component at any level of the data skeleton can logically include other data components and the skeleton itself can be arbitrarily complex depending on the complexity of the document itself. Each data component of the skeleton includes native data of the document being retrieved. As an initial step in the process of adapting a document, the document being retrieved is transformed into a data skeleton. The data skeleton data structure does not contain the content of any of the data components of the document. Rather, the data component indicates only the internal data structure of the document, together with an indication of the location, size, and type of the data components within the document. The data skeleton is transferred across communication link 40 to client proxy 16, where the policy element 26 instructs client kernel 28 to retrieve a subset of the data components of the data skeleton, to specify the fidelity level of each data component to be retrieved, or to specify that a particular data transformation be performed on the data components to be retrieved.
A component-specific import driver 34 and export driver 22 is required for each application component that is to be adapted by the adaptation technique described herein. For more complex policies, a tracking driver 24 may also be necessary. Thus, for the present invention to support the adaptation of an application component, client and server drivers must be written specifically for the application, its file format, and its DMI. The present invention is a combination of custom components prepared for each of the application components to be adapted (import driver, export driver, tracking driver) and application-independent component that operate without reference to the application component being adapted or the document being retrieved (client kernel and server kernel).
The function of import driver 34 is to parse the documents retrieved from data server 20, extracting from the documents their compound structure and converting the documents from their application-specific file formats to CIF. When the file format of the document is parseable, either because the file format is human-readable, such as XML, or because sufficient documentation exists to write an application-specific parser, import driver 34 may run directly on server machine 17 to construct the data skeleton of the retrieved document by parsing the document in server proxy 18. Running import driver on server machine 17 in the case of readily parseable document results in efficient throughput in server machine 17.
The static parsing of retrieved documents by import driver 34 is not satisfactory in the case of a dynamic document that includes executable scripts or other embedded data elements that dynamically alter the content of the document. To recognize executable scripts and other dynamic mechanisms within a retrieved document, an import driver for dynamic content runs in client proxy 16 and includes an intercept mechanism that traces dynamic requests back to data elements in the data server 20. These data elements are then fetched through the client and the server kernel and inserted into the application through DMI calls. As a result of this process, both the client and server are aware of the content of the document being retrieved, despite the presence of executable scripts or other embedded data elements in the document.
When the application includes a DMI, but has an opaque file format that is not readily parseable, an instance of the application is run on server proxy 18, allowing the DMI of the application to be used by import driver 34 to uncover the data structure of the retrieved document. In this mode, this instance of the application running on server machine 17 is an aid in completing the parsing function without the necessity of a detailed understanding of the file format of the files of the application being adapted. Using the application itself as a parser may result in a large overhead in the server, however, resulting in a lower overall performance in the server. Moreover, having the application run in the server necessitates that the operating system of the server be the same as the operating system of the client.
Within client proxy 16, export driver 22 unparses the CIF representation and updates the application using the exposed DMI interface of the application. Unparsing is the process of converting CIF to a component specific format. Export driver 22 supports the insertion of newly retrieved data components of the retrieved document into an executing application 14. A tracking driver 24 is necessary for the more complex policies. A tracking driver 24 tracks the data components of the retrieved data file that are being viewed by the user and can intercept load and save requests issued by the user to application 14. Tracking drivers can be implemented through polling or event registration mechanisms. In one example, if a user passes a mouse over an image, this event can be identified by tracking driver 24, which instructs the policy element that a tracked event has occurred. In response, a possible policy may instruct the retrieval of a higher fidelity version of the image to the application.
A transcoder is any element, such as a coder 36 or a decoder 30 that performs a transformation on the data components of the document being retrieved. A transcoder may be conventional in nature, such as the well-known transcoders that compress text and images or reduce image resolution as a means of reducing the size of a document. Because the result of a transcoding operation is a separate or distinct version of a data component, this process is known as versioning. As an example, coder 36 may convert a data component of the document that is an image to a version of the image having a lower fidelity level, thereby reducing the data size of the image. After the lower fidelity image is passed to the client, decoder 30 may decode the image. The decoding step may attempt to return the image to a fidelity level that is the same or nearly the same as the original fidelity level. All coding need not be symmetrical, however. In some environments, it may be desirable for the application to receive a version of the document that is different from the version of the document present on the data server.
Another transcoding mechanism of the present invention is the selection of a subset of the data components of the data skeleton, a technique known as subsetting. Each data component of a data skeleton may be logically related to a number of children of the data component. When loading only a subset of the children of a given data component or node of the CIF, it may be necessary to modify the data component of the parent node to reflect that only a subset of the children of the node were loaded by the import driver as part of a transcoding step being performed on the retrieved document. By selecting only a portion of the data components associated with a parent node of the data skeleton, a temporary data component of the data skeleton is defined and created that includes only a subset of the children nodes of the parent node. A subsetting step need not involve the alteration of the fidelity of a data component. Depending on the policy applied in client proxy 16, a transcoding step may include both a subsetting transcoding step and a versioning transcoding step.
Policy element 26 is included in client proxy 16 and controls the fetching of documents and the fetching of data elements of documents. Upon receiving a data skeleton in response to a document request, policy element 26 transverses the data skeleton passed to it by client kernel 28, determining, in accordance with the policy, both the data components that are to be retrieved and the fidelity of the data components to be retrieved. Policies generally fall into two categories: (a) general purpose policies that are implemented independently of the data component being adapted, an example of which are prefetching policies, and (b) component-specific policies that use the knowledge of the document type being retrieved to control the adaptation (e.g., a policy that retrieves only the first slide of a PowerPoint slide).
A policy may, for example, choose data components and the fidelity level of data components on the basis of available bandwidth, network cost, energy considerations, and any other user-defined preferences. As an example, a user may specify that all text items are to be retrieved and displayed to the user first in an effort to reduce the latency effects experienced by a user. Other policies may attempt to track the user as the user runs the application in an effort to track the user's needs. For example, a policy may require that the kernel fetch the current PowerPoint slide as well as next following three PowerPoint slides. Other policies may attempt to track the user's behavior. For example, if the user only accesses every other page in a document, the policy, recognizing this behavior on the part of the user, may instruct the kernel to cease fetching the unselected pages of the document (as established by the user's selection pattern) and instead fetch every other page or data component of the document being retrieved and run by the application. Because the operation of a policy is user-specific, a policy may be as complex as necessary and have many inputs. Regardless of whether the decision to fetch a component is made by a general purpose policy or a component-specific policy, the actual transcoding and transfer of the data is handled by the client and server kernels, relieving policy element 26 from the intricacies of the transcoding and communication functions. Ultimately, the policy is user-specific and therefore may vary depending on the application, the data being retrieved by the application, and the behavior and preferences of the user.
The adaptation process of the present invention is divided into three stages, as shown in the flow diagram of
In the case of dynamic mechanisms embedded in documents, import driver 34 cannot accurately determine the data components of the data skeleton. Even if the import driver attempted to determine each of the data components as if the import driver were a client executing the application, the determination may not be accurate, as the content may change depending upon variables in or received by application 14. In this case, a dynamic import driver in client proxy 16 intercepts requests for dynamic elements embedded in the retrieved document and recognizes that data may be dynamically added to the retrieved document. If the document is modified in client proxy 16 due to the execution of a dynamic element embedded in the retrieved document, changes to the document are reflected back to the server proxy so that the server proxy is aware of the content and data structure of the retrieved document.
A flow diagram of the process of document fetching steps are shown in
The client proxy and server proxy, depending on the policy in effect and the user's behavior in the application, may fetch the remainder of the data components of the retrieved document. As an example, in the case of a PowerPoint file, only the first several slides may be transferred to the application. Following this transfer, the client proxy and server server may transfer in the background the remaining slides of the document. As a second example, in the case of an Internet Explorer file, the data components of a page may be transferred to the application in the form of lower fidelity versions of the page. As the user passes the mouse over images of the page, higher fidelity versions of these images are replaced in the file running on the Internet Explorer application.
To update the application with new or higher fidelity components, export driver 22 uses the DMI of the application 14 to update the data components of the document of the application. A flow diagram of the process of updating an application with data components using the DMI of an application is shown in
At least two update modalities are used by export driver 22 and mirror the methods by which most applications function. For applications that support a cut-and-paste function (e.g., PowerPoint, Word, Excel), export driver 22 uses a clipboard to insert new data components into the document of the application. For applications that attempt to read and load every data element of the document as a method of acquiring the data element (e.g., Internet Explorer), the proxy asks the application to reload the component being replaced. As an example, if export driver 22 wanted to replace a lower fidelity image in Internet Explorer with a higher fidelity image, export driver 22 would instruct application 14 to reload the image and, following the application's reload instruction, supply application 14 with the higher fidelity image for reloading in the application.
The present invention will support the operation of the application to be adapted in one machine and the client proxy on a different machine. Such an arrangement could be useful, for instance, if the client is a very small device, such as a handheld PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) that cannot support a client proxy. In another embodiment of the present invention, the server proxy and the data server may execute on different machines. Such an arrangement may be desirable, for instance, if the machine on which the data server resides is restricted for security or other reasons. It is also possible that both the client and the server proxy may be located on machines different from the application and the data server, respectively.
Various example adaptation policies were presented. It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the present invention provides the infrastructure necessary to enable these and other adaptation policies without modifying the source code of the application or the document on the data server, and that its scope is not restricted to the example policies given. In particular, it will be appreciated that these policies may have a variety of objectives, including but not limited to the objectives of reduction of latency and bandwidth consumption.
Although the present invention has been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions, and alterations can be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
