Unable to make the long trip down to Exeter? The Alex have you covered…
Exeter City vs Crewe Alexandra
Sky Bet League Two
Saturday 16 September, 2017
Kick-Off 3:00pm
The Alex make the trip to league leaders Exeter City off the back of a frustrating 1-0 defeat to Cambridge on Tuesday night.
Dave Artell's boys huffed & puffed in the second half against The U's, but failed to make the all-important breakthrough.
On the flip-side, Exeter were struggling at Barnet losing 1-0, but showed the character and endeavour that has defined their season so far to win 2-1, including netting the winner on 90+4 minutes.
Artell has great admiration for the project going on at St James Park, and will also want revenge on Paul Tisdale's side for the 4-0 thrashing handed out to the Alex gaffer in his opening month as a Manager last season.

After Toyota engineered the Lexus LS400 for the 1990 model year, it was clear the game had changed forever. After years of pursuit, the Japanese could finally make the argument that they had produced a finer luxury sedan than BMW and Mercedes. The Toyota Celsior embodied luxury and durability, and for that reason, has stood the test of time.
This Type C is finished in Toyota's Black (202) two tone, and has an understated yet classy appeal. The exterior is in exceptional condition. The paint is beautiful and has been meticulously maintained over the years. The body is extremely straight with no major dings, dents, or scratches. This 1991 has only 61K original miles, so the lack of wear should come as no surprise.
Mechanically this Celsior is just as clean as the rest of the car. Complete with a fresh service including some new plugs, the 1UZ-FE fires right up and purrs beautifully. The automatic transmission is equally quiet; shifting in and out of gear without any hesitation or grinding. The V8 quickly gets you up to speed and makes for a phenomenal highway cruiser. Coupled with the adjustable air suspension these make the best out of any poorly maintained state road that you'll come across. The aftermarket for the Celsior or Lexus LS is massive, which makes the Celsior a fantastic VIP chassis. Then again for those not looking to be part of the scene, these are undoubtedly a daily driver that you won't come across in the grocery store parking lot and can arguably last a lifetime.

During the early 1850s, many surveying parties passed through the vicinity of present-day Beaumont in search of a pass that would connect the east to the Pacific Ocean. The San Gorgonio Pass was discovered in 1853 by a surveying expedition under Lieutenant R.S. Williamson, who was sent by the United States government. Its discovery enthralled many who now saw that connecting to the ocean was a feasible measure and led to plans for connecting a railway from the Missouri River to the Pacific. By the early 1860s, the Southern Pacific Railroad had laid tracks through the modern-day location of Beaumont. At the summit of the pass, a site was founded and named Edgar Station after a physician from one of the original expedition parties. Edgar Station served as a rest stop for railway travelers from the Mojave Desert on their way to the Los Angeles vicinity. Soon Edgar Station changed its name to San Gorgonio, named by a real estate development company, and it gradually attracted permanent residents.
The sleepy town of San Gorgonio became an incorporated city on November 18, 1912, and adopted its current name of Beaumont (French for "beautiful mountain"). As of 1927, the small city had a population of 857 with five churches, a public library, a bank, a high school, two local newspapers, several lumber yards, commercial packing houses, and a dehydrating plant. The city, one of Riverside County's largest apple growers, was dubbed "the land of the big red apple" by local residents in its early years. Apple orchards in the area expanded to a $200,000 industry by 1930. Beaumont saw a rise in visitors and residents as the nearby city of Palm Springs grew to become a highly popular resort spot during and after the 1930s; Beaumont followed suit and attempted to capitalize on the increasing tourism by establishing guest ranches. According to an early 1930s/1940s postcard, the Highland Springs Guest Ranch of Beaumont offered its patrons horseback riding, tennis, archery, horseshoes, swimming, shuffle-board, ping pong, baseball, ballroom dancing, massages, basketball, and lodging accommodations.
During the Cold War, a Lockheed rocket test site operated by Simi Valley-based Rocketdyne was established south of the town in Potrero Canyon. In late 2003, the majority of the Potrero Canyon site was sold to the state of California. Toxic chemicals used in rocket fuel and site test activities have been found in the soil and groundwater at the site, and planning is underway to begin cleanup sometime in the next few years. Plans are being developed by the California Department of Fish and Game to allow public access.
With the housing boom in the early decade, the urban sprawl reached the last remaining valleys of the Inland Empire. Since 2000, with Beaumont's proximity to Los Angeles, various Southern California residents have moved to the San Gorgonio Pass region for its low housing cost, causing a 20% jump in the city's population, making it the fastest growing city in the state. This has concerned many local residents who cite increasing student population in schools, rising demand on the water supply, and increasing traffic through the city on Interstate 10 in both directions. A 2008 study by the Public Policy Institute of California noted that Beaumont and its neighboring communities in the nearby San Jacinto Valley have registered the highest population growth throughout Riverside County and that the region was projected to increase by 4.5% a year to 310,000 by 2015.
Beaumont is home to many master-planned communities. The following communities are currently under construction or have been built: Oak Valley Greens, Three Rings Ranch, Solera by Del Webb (later sold to Pulte Homes Inc.), Sundance and Tournament Hills by Pardee Homes, and Fairway Canyon. Except for Oak Valley Greens, these communities operate under HOAs and are similar to developments in Redlands, Rancho Cucamonga, and some Orange County suburbs. Several big box stores have opened in town including Walmart, The Home Depot, and Kohl's, all located in the 2nd Street Marketplace. Other major businesses in the 2nd Street Marketplace area include Best Buy, Bed, Bath, and Beyond, Petco, ALDI, Ross Dress for Less, Dollar Tree, Bank of America, Chase, Wells Fargo, Chili's, McDonald's, Starbucks, and Taco Bell. Beaumont also features a new Walgreens, Rite-Aid, and a Stater Bros. grocery store.
The nearby Highland Springs Resort, established in 1884, hosts Southern California's largest certified organic lavender farm at 123 Farm, the Annual Lavender Festival in June, the Annual Sausage and Beer Festival in August, and the Annual Olive & Wine Faire in October. Beaumont is home to the Annual Cherry Festival, which celebrated its 100th anniversary from May 31 to June 3, 2018.
Local recreational possibilities include two golf courses: the Tukwet Canyon and Oak Valley Golf Clubs.

While steadily rising rents have proven too much for some Robson Street businesses, one locally based retailer is thriving in the shopping district.
The U.K.–founded Lush Cosmetics has announced that it will be shutting its doors at 1020 Robson Street this Thursday (January 12) to complete a hefty expansion and makeover.
The new shop, which will stretch into the adjacent space previously occupied by Danier Leather, will be double its current size. It is expected to reopen in April 2017.
Known for its responsibly and ethically produced body, skin, and hair care goods, as well as its animal-rights campaigns, Lush will be taking inspiration from its 10,000-square-foot Oxford Street location in London, U.K., to design the revamped store.
The interior will feature one of Canada's first haircare styling bars and a 42-inch concrete sink where customers may test-drive bath and beauty products prior to purchase. Salvaged furnishings and lighting fixtures will help forward Lush's mandate of reducing waste in its packaging and production.
Speaking to the Straight by phone, Lush's director of brand Brandi Halls explains that the expanded location will offer consumers and local Lush employees the chance to better interact with the brand.
"We see this as not only a great opportunity to enhance the customer experience, but as a great staff engagement piece, too," she says, adding that the company employs from 1,200 to 1,500 people between its head office, manufacturing plant, and various retail outposts across Metro Vancouver alone.
The 2,600-square-foot shop will also include numerous consultation stations, where customers may receive product recommendations from Lush associates, and an area committed to the story of Lush's Charity Pot, a hand-and-body lotion that benefits various grassroots organizations.
Lush currently operates 250 locations across North America. During the Robson Street renovation, Vancouverites can visit the company's shops at Pacific Centre (701 West Georgia Street), in Kitsilano (2248 West 4th Avenue), and elsewhere.


Designing rich, interactive desktop client software has never been easier. With Visual Studio, Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), and the Composite Application Guidance for WPF (Prism), developers are better equipped than ever.
When working on a large-scale, rich-client software + services application, my team found out the hard way that developing occasionally connected, multithreaded, smart clients that don't deadlock or generate garbage through data-races is far from trivial. It's not a failing in the toolset, though. We found that these tools need to be employed in very specific patterns to achieve systems that are both responsive and robust.
In this article I highlight some problems we ran into, and explain how we overcame them. Hopefully you can harness this information to avoid our mistakes and make the best use of these tools when building your own software + services applications.
One of the first challenges we faced was the need for users to always be kept up to date with what all other users were doing, as well as events occurring in other systems. This real-time system behavior allowed users to act on events as they happened on large quantities of data. The previous version of the system allowed them to search, sort, and filter, but users just couldn't act on that information in time.
During the user experience design process, many of the grids in the previous version of the system were replaced by Messenger-like pop-up messages ("toast") that informed the user of important events. Other changes enabled users to set various thresholds on properties of entities that, when exceeded, popped up toast messages. The toast often contained links that, when clicked, opened a form showing the user the affected entity—some with a before and after view.
While thinking through ways to scale the regular request/response patterns that we had experience with, our key stakeholder came in and reminded us: "This ability to surface events from the world to the user in real time is critical for our knowledge workers to support the collaborative, real-time enterprise we're building."
In short, it was clear that we needed some kind of publish/subscribe capability. Trying to support two-second user visibility on events with hundreds of users polling a central database just wasn't going to work (it broke down at around 60 users).
On top of it all, our user population was mobile—some of them disconnecting and reconnecting every few seconds as they moved in and out of Wi-Fi zones, others working offline for an hour or two while telecommuting, and some performing intensive offline work for up to a week.
We had to juggle occasional connectivity, data synchronization, and publish/subscribe all at the same time. We learned that we couldn't solve all problems either client-side or server-side, but rather that an integrated approach was needed since any changes on one side needed corresponding changes on the other side. In this article, I'll describe this process starting from the server-side working forward to the client.
Our original deployment model was the traditional 2-tier model found in many rich client applications. The difficulty we had with this model was pushing out notifications from the database to the clients.
One option that we tried was to have all interaction with the database done via stored procedures that, after committing their transactions, would call out to a Web service hosted on the database server. It was the responsibility of that Web service to notify clients of what happened by passing them the name of the stored procedure that was invoked as well as the arguments that were passed to the stored procedure.
That didn't work out so well. There were two critical problems with this approach—one logical, the other physical.
The logical problem was that a single stored procedure could be invoked by all sorts of paths in the code meaning different things at different times. When a client received notification of the activation of a stored procedure, it wasn't always clear what that meant and what toast to pop up to the user.
The physical problem was that we needed each client to expose its own Web service, which the Web service on the database server would call. This was quickly vetoed by the security professionals as a gaping security hole, as well as by the regulatory auditors who were (rightly) concerned about users making decisions in real time on data whose origins couldn't necessarily be traced.
To solve the logical problems with the 2-tier solution we realized that we needed to be more explicit about our service contract—stating the name of the stored procedure that ran and its parameters was explicit about what happened, but not why it happened.
To enable our WCF service to call back to clients other than the one that invoked the current method, we had to host the service in a process separate from that of the client and deploy that process to its own server, in essence moving to a 3-tier deployment.
While it was suggested we put the service on the same box as the database, our database admins were concerned that the service might take away precious resources, thereby hurting the performance of the database. The added benefit of having a separate tier for our stateless WCF service was that we could easily scale it out to more machines without requiring any tinkering with the database server.
Unfortunately, it wasn't as easy as we thought.
We ran into two kinds of scalability problems—logical and physical, as before.
The logical scalability problem manifested itself as the system gained more functionality. When we first started development, we had only a single server contract containing all methods on it, and a single callback contract with all the corresponding methods on it. We quickly ran into the brick wall of too many developer chefs stirring the same pot. After moving each command/event pair to its own service/callback contract pair, that problem was solved. Yet the solution introduced another, more insidious problem.
When taking the decision to have multiple service/callback contract pairs, we thought the main issue would be having an unmanageable number of contracts. That actually didn't turn out to be much of a problem—the modularity between business domains in the app mitigated that very well. The problem was the "pair."
One command could result in multiple kinds of notifications, and one kind of notification could be caused by many types of commands. The clean one-to-one mapping we had before was overly simplistic and needed to evolve into a many-to-many mapping. Not only were we scaling the number of commands and notifications in the system, we needed to scale the number of relationships between them. It looked like the one-to-one representation supported by WCF callback contracts wasn't going to be able to take us forward.
We ran into a physical scalability problem when scaling out our WCF service tier. We needed some way to share the list of client callback contract subscribers. As we worked through the guidance provided in Juval Lowey's October 2006 MSDN Magazine article, we created the relevant infrastructure pieces including the pub/sub service. We found that a single pub/sub service wasn't able to handle the amount of notifications it needed to push from all publishers to all subscribers, in essence constituting a bottleneck in publisher to subscriber communication. Also, different notifications had different priorities—something that was difficult to bend the infrastructure to support.
After going back and forth on the topic several times, the best structure of pub/sub services we came up with was to have a single piece of pub/sub infrastructure per logical business domain. Since each domain also had sets of commands and notifications clumped around it, it served as a good clean boundary. This partitioning solved many of the priority issues we previously had while automatically creating the first level of pub/sub infrastructure scale out.
One of the advantages of WCF is its support for multiple bindings on various technologies like HTTP and TCP. We originally chose to work with WS HTTP since it was the most feature rich, though not considering all the implications of that decision.
As we rolled out the system to our users, everything seemed to be going fine, but that feeling was short lived. After about an hour, we started getting calls from our help desk folks that "servers were refusing connections."
We quickly checked and saw that all our servers were up and running, but they didn't seem to be doing much. CPU usage was low, same with memory, IO, and everything else. We checked the database for deadlocks and other nasties, but everything was clear there, too.
So we started up another server process in debug mode and began watching it to see what it did. It didn't take long for the problem to show itself.
Every 10 to 20 seconds, a thread that was publishing an event to a client would hang for about 30 seconds. You can imagine what this did to our scalability. Because we were fairly close to the recommended thread pool size for the number of clients we were supporting, we were running out of threads. At that point, WCF started refusing to accept new connections from clients.
We thought maybe we had a bug in our client app that caused it to block the server.
We went hunting for the specific client machines that caused the problems (using the IP addresses we picked out from the server logs). We talked to the users of those machines to see if they had experienced any odd behaviors in the application at around the time of the server problem. They didn't report anything out of the ordinary. But one of them made an interesting observation: "The app tends to get stuck the way Outlook does, right around the time my WiFi connection cuts out."
We started collecting logs from several client and server machines and saw the same behavior over and over again. Any time a client went offline, calls to it would block for 30 seconds.
This ran counter to our understanding of the IsOneWay attribute on the OperationContract. All our event notification methods returned void—there was no reason for the server threads to get blocked.
As we drilled deeper into the behavior of WsHttpBinding we began to understand how it worked in one-way operation contracts. When the server goes to notify a client by invoking a one-way method on its proxy, if that proxy was previously connected and has in its caches all the underlying channel objects, it makes use of them and tries to call the client over HTTP. Even though the call is one-way, the underlying channel waits until an HTTP connection can be established and the HTTP request can be sent. It does not wait for the HTTP response. Unfortunately, if the client is offline for whatever reason, the HTTP connection waits the default HTTP timeout (30 seconds) before giving up.
Realizing that we couldn't fix this behavior, we needed to find an alternative binding that would be robust in the face of clients disconnecting. We found the answer in the Microsoft Message Queuing (MSMQ) bindings—specifically NetMsmqBinding. Luckily, with WCF, swapping out one binding for another isn't a big deal.
After verifying that our server threads were not getting stuck any more when client connectivity went in and out, we turned our sights back to the client.
When designing rich clients that interact with servers in a request/response manner, thread safety wasn't ever much of a concern for us. As the servers we developed got more features and became more powerful, the amount of time it took them to respond grew as well. This is known to cause usability problems when the application hangs until the server responds. The common solution is to change the client so that it calls the server asynchronously. At that point, developers find out that when callbacks from the server are handled on a background thread, UI controls tend to throw exceptions at them. Finally, the code is changed so that the server callbacks switch to the foreground thread and everything works again.
The thing is, when the client receives an endless stream of notifications from multiple servers, those patterns don't serve us as well.
Since every notification arriving at the client was being processed on the foreground thread, and all UI interaction was also done on the foreground thread, these two tasks ended up continuously fighting for control. You could actually see the mouse erratically jump on the screen as you tried to move it. When typing into textboxes, the characters would fill in just as erratically.
I noticed this when spending some time in our load testing lab. I remember looking at the client showing all the various notifications popping up in real time, very pleased with how our architecture was working out. I took the mouse to click on a link in one of the toasts and it kept getting stuck as I moved it. It reminded me of the way wireless mice behave as their batteries die. But the mouse was a regular wired USB mouse.
I winced. We were only two weeks away from a release. All our functional tests were passing, and the load tests were showing that the system could handle everything we threw at it. The only problem was that the system wasn't exactly functional under load—usability nightmare would have been a better description.
Before going back to the drawing board on our client, we looked for something—anything—that could prevent the imminent rewrite. We pored over guidance in MSDN on how to use WCF in smart client environments (see "Writing Smart Clients by Using Windows Communication Foundation") and wrote more proof of concept code than ever before, but somehow nothing covered all the bases. It seemed we were stuck between the deadlock rock and the unusable hard place.
One strategy that looked promising was based on safe controls that encapsulate the interaction with the Windows Forms synchronization context (reference) in such a way that even if they are accessed by a background thread, they marshal the call back onto the UI thread.
Since not every notification that arrives at the client involves updating the UI, we could gain a great deal in usability by performing most client-side notification processing on a background thread. Occasionally, when the notification involved updating the UI, the safe controls would ensure that the actual UI rendering was done on the correct thread. Technologically, it looked like a solid solution.
After going forward and implementing the needed safe controls and forms, we spent a good amount of time in the test lab performing functional tests while the load tests were running in the background. We had taken all the logging on the client and made it asynchronous as well so that we could keep log levels high without slowing down the UI.
In this financial application, multiple traders would collaborate on a single investment portfolio to achieve various goals in terms of risk, commission, and return—sometimes collaborating on a single trade. When we had several testers simulating this behavior, in one of the runs they had a terribly negative return. While this isn't necessarily surprising in and of itself (let's face it, if a tester could really do the work of a trader, they wouldn't be a tester), the fact that it was so different from the outcomes of the other runs made us take notice. Our previous experiences developing this system taught us that when we witnessed something unusual, it meant that some assumption we made in our programming turned out to be false.
Sifting through the piles of logs, we were looking for the moment in that one run when the financial return took a dip. Surprisingly, that was all too clear—there was one clear point where the return went into the red. As we worked our way back and forth through the log entries around that point in time, nothing stood out. Everything looked pretty much like it did when the return was positive.
One of our DBAs, an old-time UNIX hacker, bet me that with some regex (regular expressions), he could find the core difference in an hour. Since we were already 3 hours into it, I quickly conceded and, 45 minutes later, he resurfaced with a grin.
It was a context switch, and at the worst possible time, and it ended up causing a data race. One thread was setting the trade to (roughly) 90 million Yen, and the other was setting it to 1 million US dollars, one property at a time. Unfortunately, the trade ended up in the state of 1 million Yen, or $11,000 USD. That explained the dip in the financial return.
Preventing multiple threads from working with the same object at the same time isn't rocket surgery. Each thread just needs to lock the object before working with it (see Figure 1). This required a thorough pass through a lot of the client code to make sure we had locked everything we needed. It then required a fair amount of testing to shake out the deadlocks that resulted from us locking more than we needed.
One of the things we (very reluctantly) gave up on was data binding our in-memory objects to user-editable views. We couldn't have the user locking the object for the duration of the form being open since that could block a background thread waiting for that object from processing all the other notifications.
With a fair amount of trepidation, we put the system through the previous battery of tests, waiting for the inevitable "something else" that we didn't know about that would knock the project of its feet. Again.
As our tester-traders worked the system, it looked like the previous issues had been solved. As deeper and more involved scenarios were run through, more users and more types of users interacted with the same investment portfolio—changing risk profiles, performing what-if projections and historical comparisons. The testers really banged on the system from every direction and it held. Half-disbelieving that this might actually be it, we came back to the business with good news.
Not that they believed us. I mean, our track record wasn't particularly impressive at that point. 120% late delivery tends to erode confidence that way. But they were in dire need of the new system so that Tuesday we rolled into beta.
And on Thursday, we rolled back out.
When the profitability of a single test run is grossly different than other test runs, even financial novices like developers and testers take notice. When more delicate investment and trading rules are violated, but those don't have immediate or large-scale impact, novices don't see it. Experts do.
I won't get into the nitty gritty financial rules here, but technically the problem was that our single-object locking strategy was too simplistic for rules involving multiple objects.
You see, when our calling code locked and updated one object, that object could raise an event that would be handled by multiple other objects. Each one of those objects could choose to update itself and raise events of its own, with this process percolating out affecting many objects. Of course, our calling code couldn't know how far those ripples would go so those other objects would not have been locked. Once again, we had multiple threads updating the same objects without locks.
There was talk of giving up on events and other loosely coupled communication mechanisms so that we could get some thread safety, but the thought of having to re-implement all our complex rules (that took us so long to get right) without the strengths of .NET was too much to bear.
And it wasn't just domain objects either. Controller objects could get called back as well, changing their state, too, disabling and enabling toolbar buttons and menus, popping up toast, you name it.
We needed a single global lock, yet memories of an unusable UI made us wary of such a solution. There was also the concern that even if such a lock existed, we ' d have to review every single line of code in the system to ensure that the lock was taken and released appropriately—not only for this version of the software, but for every single maintenance release and patch thereafter.
It was a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't.
And that's when we discovered synchronization domains.
As expected, all this magic comes with some performance overhead, both in object creation and access. Another annoying caveat is that classes involved in a synchronization domain cannot have generic methods or properties, although it can call and otherwise make use of generics from other classes.
At this point in the project, when we'd practically exhausted all other options, we gave it a shot.
We planned to have a single synchronization domain in which all logic would run. This meant controller objects, domain objects, and client-side WCF objects would need to be in the synchronization domain. In fact, the only objects that would have to be outside the synchronization domain were the Windows Forms themselves, their controls, and any other visual GUI elements.
The interesting thing we discovered was that not all objects in the synchronization domain had to inherit from ContextBoundObject or have the SynchronizationAttribute applied to them. Rather, we only needed to do so for objects on the boundaries of the synchronization domain. This meant all our domain objects could remain as before—a big performance boost.
Controller classes required just a bit more care.
In our use of the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, controllers interacted with views only on the UI thread. This was a different approach than the safe controls previously described, where the controller could call views on the background thread as well.
We also knew that not every notification received from the server required updating the UI, and it was the responsibility of the controller objects to make that decision. As such, controllers would need to handle notifications on a background thread, and if updating the UI was required, would be responsible for switching threads.
One small thing to keep in mind, though, is to always switch threads asynchronously—otherwise you might deadlock your system or cause severe performance problems (speaking from experience).
A bit later we created a controller base class that encapsulated the threading and invoking to keep application code simple (see Figure 2).
One thing we really wanted back, though, was data binding. You can hardly say you're doing MVC if your model is a collection of strings, doubles, and ints.
The problem that we had before with data binding was that our view objects held references to model objects allowing the UI thread to update the same objects as were being updated by the background thread. As we began putting in place the ViewModel pattern, many things became much simpler—just having independent control of the structure of these objects made all the difference.
Although this technically worked, there were a couple of problems with it. The first problem was maintainability—how could we ensure that all developers remembered to clone their domain objects before passing them to views? The second problem was more technical—domain objects referenced each other so just cloning one didn't mean the others were cloned.
In short, we needed domain objects to be deep cloned as they were passed to views. It was also important that we didn't move any of this complexity into the views themselves. What we needed was to create a generic proxy of the view in CreateCustomerOverdrawnView, and in that proxy inspect all method calls and property setters for parameters that were domain objects, perform a deep clone, and then pass that clone into the view itself.
There are so many technologies that enable you to perform this proxying and each one does things different. Some use aspect-oriented programming techniques, others more straightforward hooks, but the tactics themselves aren't important. Just know that you need to create a proxy. In the proxy, include a method for the deep cloning and the accompanying dictionary for holding the working set of clones. Figure 3 shows our solution.
This method goes through all properties and fields of the object, cloning them as necessary. If it finds a reference to an object it has previously cloned in the dictionary, it doesn't clone again, but returns the first clone. In this manner, the method creates a mirror image of a given graph of objects, preventing the view from gaining access to an object that may be used on a background thread.
After all this was done, our views could now freely bind to the given domain objects. What we could no longer count on was two-way data binding of domain objects automatically updating bound views.
In regular data binding scenarios, when the bound object is changed, it raises events letting the view know that it should be refreshed. This really helps decouple a system as the parts that handle communication with the server don't need to update any views when they update a domain object. In our new thread-safe architecture, since the client-side WCF objects don't update the same instances of domain objects as those that are bound to the views, we lose some of the benefits of two-way data binding.
It is important to understand that in a multithreaded environment we have to give up on two-way data binding. If a background thread were to update a domain object bound to the UI, the INotifyPropertyChanged (reference) behavior would cause the background thread to update the UI directly and the application to crash.
This code handles the generic open command for a trade by opening a form and showing the requested trade. It also specifies that when the trade is updated, the form is passed the updated trade.
We were well-pleased with this clean, simple, and straightforward code.
That is, until we realized it had a bug in it.
The difference here is that we're holding on to the reference of the delegate so that we can unsubscribe from the trade update when the form closes. Bug fixed.
This code would be correct in a single-threaded system, but in the harsh clone-war environment of our multithreaded client, references aren't always what you think.
The trade object in eventargs came from somewhere—the activation of a command, to be specific. Commands are activated by users, on the UI thread, as the result of the user doing something—in this case, double-clicking a trade in a grid. But, if the trade is shown in a grid, that means a controller had to give it to that view, and in the process the trade would have been cloned.
In short, since any notifications from the server pertaining to that trade would not work directly with the cloned object in the grid, the Updated event the controller subscribes to above would never get raised. As such, the form showing the details of the trade would not get refreshed.
Something's missing from the solution.
Our controllers need some way to find out when a specific instance of an entity gets updated, but without relying on object references.
If every entity had an identifier, and there was an in-memory repository of these entities on the client that could be queried, controllers could use it to get the authoritative reference for an entity based on identifiers coming from the UI.
Here is what our trade controller looks like when using the repository.
Our controller is now using the repository to subscribe to changes on the specific trade instance with the identifier provided by the UI. The last piece of the puzzle is simply to have our client-side WCF objects use that same repository to update the client-side domain objects.
After putting all the pieces in place, rewriting significant parts of our client application, introducing supporting frameworks, and going through our performance testing, we discovered that there were still problems.
Under heavy load, when many objects had been updated at around the same time, large notifications being processed on the client-side caused the UI to become sluggish. Our instrumentation showed that the larger the notification, the longer the synchronization domain was held by the background thread—during which the user could not perform any actions requiring controller logic.
We tried optimizing the client-side code, refactoring domain objects so that graphs would be smaller taking less time to clone, and everything else we could think of. Nothing we did on the client helped.
And that's when one of the junior server developers spoke up (a little hesitantly), suggesting we could change the server code to publish more than one notification message. Rather than putting all changed entities in one message, we could do one entity per message, or anything else, possibly even making it configurable.
Since between processing one notification and the next the background thread on the client retreated from the synchronization domain, this allowed the UI thread to get in and do some work on behalf of the user. The fact that it took a bit longer for the large notifications to be processed one message at a time on the client was perfectly acceptable.
When we started out on the development of this project, we assumed it would be just like any other rich-client/database system. The challenges we ' d faced both architecturally and technically were greater than anything else we ' d seen. Dealing with low-level threading issues both server and client, understanding how occasional connectivity affects scalability, and maintaining an acceptable level of user interactivity while avoiding deadlocks and race conditions—there were so many pieces that had to click together just right for the whole thing to work. All the supporting technologies were there, it was all in how we put them together.
In the end, though, as we watched our users collaborating in real time across the globe, we understood that it couldn't be any other way. Companies whose systems relied on users pulling, sorting, and grouping information just wouldn't be able to compete. Software + services, occasionally connected clients, and the multicore revolution would mean ever greater productivity and profitability for an organization able to make the leap.
Our stakeholder was right. The ability to surface events from the world to the user in real time really is critical for knowledge workers to support collaborative, real-time enterprises.
After finishing the project I was a little concerned that all the patterns and techniques I'd picked up wouldn't serve me at all as I transitioned in to more line-of-business style application development. I've got to tell you that I was pleasantly surprised.
On a more personal note, I can tell you that nothing does better for a developer's career than line-of-business managers raving about your app, and the development itself is much more interesting. Give it a try.

Here is a note from Elizabeth Benedict: "I'm thrilled that Christy Turlington's fabulous organization EVERY MOTHER COUNTS chose WHAT MY MOTHER GAVE ME as its book club pick this week. Turlington writes about her favorite gift from her mother: 'While I am just grateful to still have my mother in my life, the gifts she gave me that mattered most were the ones she gave herself: Mothering my sisters and me, traveling the world and continuing her education. The fact that she was born in El Salvador provided me with an early connection to a larger world than the one I would have known otherwise...' Shout out to Judith Hillman Paterson, Luanne Rice, Elinor Lipman, Caroline Leavitt, Karen Karbo, and all the other wonderful contributors to the anthology."

Olga Leonardovna Knipper-Chekhova (;  – 22 March 1959) was a Russian and Soviet stage actress. She was married to Anton Chekhov.

Knipper was among the 39 original members of the Moscow Art Theatre when it was formed by Konstantin Stanislavski in 1898. She played Arkadina in The Seagull (1898), played Elena in the Moscow premiere of Uncle Vanya (1899), and was the first to play Masha in Three Sisters (1901) and Madame Ranevskaya in The Cherry Orchard (1904). She married Anton Chekhov, the author of these plays, in 1901. She played Ranevskaya again in 1943, when the theatre marked the 300th performance of The Cherry Orchard.

Early life
Knipper was born on  in Glazov to Austrian-born Leonhardt August Knipper and Russian Anna Ivanovna von Saltza of Baltic German descent. Though both of her parents were of German origin, her father claimed Russia as their family heritage. Around the time of Olga's birth, her father, Leonard, was in charge of a factory in Glazov, a small town northeast of European Russia. Two years after she was born, her family moved to Moscow, where they became accustomed to an upper-middle-class lifestyle. Growing up in between her two brothers, Konstantin and Vladimir, Olga was pampered. She attended a private school for girls, was fluent in French, German and English, and took music and singing lessons after rigorous school days. She showed considerable promise as a painter and was her own accompanist on the piano when she entertained friends and family at dinner parties. Her father, however, who was anxious to conform to the social conventions of his adopted country, made it clear that Olga's aspirations should be confined to marrying well and becoming a housewife. Her mother, a talented singer and pianist, had been forced to give up any hopes of a career in the arts, and felt that Olga should do the same.

In 1894, Olga's father died unexpectedly, leaving the 25-year-old and her mother with debts he left behind from living well beyond their means. They began giving music and singing lessons to make ends meet, dismissed four of their five servants, and moved to a smaller flat. Olga's hopes of becoming a successful stage actress had not yet diminished. Proceeding with her intentions without her mother's approval, and giving up her social circle relations, were sacrifices she was willing to make: "Whenever in my life I really wanted something, and really believed in the possibility of achieving what I wanted and acted energetically, I always succeeded and never regretted going my own way", she wrote.

Career
She enrolled briefly into the Maly Theatre's drama school, although she dropped out one month later. With the help of her reluctant mother, Olga enrolled at the Philharmonic School, where she was taught by the future co-founder of the Moscow Art Theatre, Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko. Nemirovich introduced Knipper and fellow student Vsevolod Meyerhold (who would later become one of the most prominent figures of Russian theatre after the Revolution) to Constantin Stanislavski.

Told in strict confidence, Nemirovich confessed to Knipper and Meierhold that he and Stanislavski were planning the creation of a new theatre company. Nemirovich assured the two actors that they would be invited to join this company and to help lead it to greatness. After many weeks, enough capital was finally secured to found the new company. The company gathered in Pushkino, where Stanislavski addressed Knipper and the other members, telling them that he hoped they had all come to dedicate their lives to creating the "first rational, moral, and universally accessible theatre in Russia."

Chekhov

While rehearsing for The Seagull on 9 September, Olga's 30th birthday, she met Russia's most eligible literary bachelor and playwright of The Seagull, Anton Chekhov, then 38. Knipper and Chekhov exchanged telegrams and letters for the next few years, while Olga became more familiar with Chekhov's younger sister, Masha. Random letters of teasing and playfulness became letters of love and deep remorse that they lived so far apart from each other. Olga's true colors shone throughout her letters of correspondence. Her ill-moods, volatile tempers, combined with her sporadic high spirits, kept Chekhov on his toes. In the winter of 1900, Chekhov returned from Yalta and headed to Moscow, with a new play that he had written with a 'dear actress' in mind. "What a part I've got for you in Three Sisters. Give me ten rubles and you can have it, otherwise I'll give it to another actress", Chekhov wrote to Olga.

Many similarities existed between Olga Knipper and the character Chekhov wrote for her in Three Sisters, Masha. Knipper was to play the middle of three sisters and one brother. The only married sibling of the foursome and "the most original and talented of the three sisters. To portray a young woman of culture and refinement, who speaks French, German and English, and is a first-class pianist" was no problem for Knipper who already acquired those skills. Knipper received much praise for her portrayal as Masha, much to Chekhov's amusement.

Anton Chekhov and Olga Knipper eventually married on 25 May 1901 at the Church of the Exaltation of the Cross. It was a spur of the moment, small wedding about which hardly anyone knew, including Chekhov's mother and sister, and Olga's mother. Many close friends and family were hurt by the secrecy. Their marriage ended when Chekhov died of tuberculosis in 1904.

It has been claimed in 1902 she had an operation to abort an ectopic pregnancy. The conception must have taken place at a time when she and Chekhov were temporarily living apart and he could not have been the father; as Chekhov was a doctor he would have realised this.

Death
Olga Leonardovna Knipper-Chekhova worked with the Moscow Art Theatre for the remainder of her life. On 22 March 1959, she died in Moscow, USSR, at age 90

HomeNews Journalists Protest US Press Freedom Reception
Journalists Protest US Press Freedom Reception
May 3, 2012 News
Activists and journalists demonstrated outside a US-sponsored event marking World Press Freedom Day in Ramallah on Thursday, after the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate called for a boycott.
The US Consulate organized the event at the Ceaser's Hotel in Ramallah, but the union urged journalists to boycott the event in protest of American policy toward the Palestinians and the prisoner hunger strike.
Palestinian security forces arrived at the scene and prevented protesters from entering the hotel.
Demonstrators chanted slogans condemning American policy, which they said was against the Palestinian cause, and expressed their rejection of American bias toward Israel.
Ali Obeidat, an activist, told Ma'an the sit-in sends a message to the Obama administration that it should stand beside the Palestinian people and condemn Israel's actions against the prisoners.
Obeidat said freedom of the press in Palestine surpassed America, "where there's suppression of freedom of the press of those who condemn Israel."
Inside, US consul general Daniel Rubinstein told journalists that "I salute you today on the important role you play, through your responsible and accurate reporting, in strengthening the institutions of a future Palestinian state. We know you face many challenges in doing your jobs.
"But, I urge you not to give up hope and to continue your tireless efforts to promote press freedom in your communities, the Palestinian territories and around the world."
He also said the US "cannot lose sight of certain universal principles. … It is for this reason that the US has been honest with its friends when we believe these principles are not being upheld.
"Last week, we made clear our concern regarding some recent actions by the PA. We are similarly candid with the Israeli government regarding issues related to freedom of the press. And each year, in our annual report on human rights, we document the many restrictions on journalists in Gaza at the hands of Hamas."
The US, he said, "is committed to preserving the Internet and other connective technologies as platforms where people can freely interact, collaborate, and debate issues that are important to them."
Some 20 Palestinian unions, including the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, called Wednesday for a boycott of a reception, according to the state news agency in Ramallah.
The unions said the call came "to protest US policies toward our national issues, particularly the issue of the prisoners and freedom of the Palestinian press in light of a rise in criminal Israeli belligerence against journalists without hearing one word of condemnation by the US administration or its representatives."

"I am with you always, until the end of the age." Jesus is always with us. The Holy Spirit is always with us. The Father is always with us. This is why we also celebrate a Solemnity of the Holy Trinity. Today the focus is on Jesus leaving us in order to be with us in a different way. We humans often do not like changes. We don't like people leaving us. We don't like people dying on us. We like things to go on as they are - at least as long as things are relatively comfortable.
Jesus ascends and leaves His followers uncomfortable! Something new is happening. We can remember the dismay when Jesus was crucified - and hardly anyone believed in Him at all. Then came Resurrection - and even that was difficult to believe. We are all a bit like the Apostle Thomas. We want things to behave in a normal way! If things change, we want to prove them ourselves and not just trust others.
The first reading today is from the Acts of the Apostles and gives an account of the ascension. It tells us that Jesus had to "prove" Himself to His followers and that He finally convinced them that He was truly alive and with them. They still don't understand but are waiting for Him to establish a Kingdom on this earth. Jesus is clear now: the Kingdom is within you. With your faith, go and preach to others the Word of God. The Holy Spirit will help you.
Then Jesus goes up and disappears from their sight. There are two men dressed in white present, reminding the followers that Jesus will come back in the same way that He leaves.
The second reading is from the Letter to the Ephesians. This letter tells us that God raised Jesus from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavens. It is important for us to recognize that now Jesus is with the Father and has sent to us the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the new way of knowing the presence of Christ in our midst.
This brings us back to the Gospel of Matthew, in which Jesus sends His followers to baptize and to draw all peoples to Him.
These three readings all agree in the Ascension and in the understanding that Jesus must leave us in one way in order to be present to us in another way. The challenge for us is to come to know the Lord in this new way. It might have been easier in many ways to have known Jesus in the flesh - but there were many who knew Him and rejected Him as the Son of God. We do not know Jesus in the flesh and yet we are invited to believe that Jesus is the Son of God, that Jesus died for us, that Jesus was raised for us and that Jesus has given us His Holy Spirit.
May our Father in Heaven show us how to believe and help us understand these great mysteries of our faith.

Q: When/why is a point on a curve an effective Cartier divisor? The definition of effective Cartier divisor that I'm using is: a closed immersion whose corresponding quasicoherent sheaf of ideals is an invertible sheaf.
Let $X$ be a scheme that is dimension 1 and locally of finite type over a field $k$ (but can be singular or have multiple components). Let $p$ be a closed point on $X$. Then why is the canonical morphism $f : Spec(k(p)) \rightarrow X$ is an effective Cartier divisor?
This is my attempt so far:
Since $p$ is a closed point, $f : Spec(k(p)) \rightarrow X$ is a homeomorphism onto its range and the range is closed. Also, the pullback morphism $f^\# : O_X \rightarrow f_* O_{Spec(k(x))}$ is surjective (as on an affine open neighbourhood $U = Spec(A)$ of $p$, we have $A \rightarrow Quot(A/p) = A/p$ since $p$ is a closed point so it's a maximal ideal, so pullback is surjective). Therefore it's a closed immersion.
Let $\mathcal{I}$ be the corresponding quasicoherent sheaf of ideals. For open sets U that don't contain $p$, $\mathcal{I} \sim O_X|_{U}$ so is an invertible sheaf on there. But now I'm stuck on the part where open sets $U$ that contain $p$.
Is the statement even true? If so, how do I prove $\mathcal{I}$ is invertible on some open set $U$ that contains $p$?

A: This statement is true precisely when $p$ is a regular point of $X$. If $p$ is regular, then $\mathcal{O}_{X,p}$ is a regular local ring of dimension one and hence a DVR, so we can select a uniformizer which gives a generator on some neighborhood of $p$. Conversely, if the ideal sheaf of $X$ is locally principal then its stalk at $p$ must be a principal ideal of $\mathcal{O}_{X,p}$. This suffices to show that $\mathcal{O}_{X,p}$ is a DVR, which is a regular local ring.

Rocket League's Chinese New Year event kicks off next week
By Fraser Brown published 16 January 20
Unlock new themed items and duke it out in a new arena.
Rocket League's new arena, the Forbidden Temple, is a fetching car-ball battlefield all decked out reds and purples, and it will be available to everyone from January 20 to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Along with the Forbidden Temple, the Lucky Lanterns event will also let you earn red envelopes that can be redeemed for New Year rewards, including some very flashy cosmetics for your wee cars, including paper dragon kites and new dragon-themed skins. Get your hands on limited-time golden lanterns and you'll also be able to unlock items from the Impact, Overdrive and Victory series (Psyonix previously said they'd be from the Champions series, but this was apparently an error).
If you've taken a break from Rocket League, you might have missed a spot of controversy that hit the game late last year. Psyonix has done away with loot boxes, normally a cause for celebration, but the community wasn't too chuffed with what replaced them: an item shop that tipped over the game's economy.
Along with the shop, players can now get blueprints that can be crafted into a new item, at the cost of some credits. While it's removed the randomness of the old system, it also means you can't get lucky and net yourself a rare item for the price of a single (no longer available) key. Since the update, however, Psyonix has reduced most blueprint prices, with the exception of black market items.
Complaints seem to have died down since the price reduction, so hopefully everyone is in a better mood this year.
The Lucky Lanterns event kicks off on January 20 and ends on February 10,

With over a decade of experience, he's been around the block a few times, serving as a freelancer, news editor and prolific reviewer. Strategy games have been a 30-year-long obsession, from tiny RTSs to sprawling political sims, and he never turns down the chance to rave about Total War or Crusader Kings. He's also been known to set up shop in the latest MMO and likes to wind down with an endlessly deep, systemic RPG. These days, when he's not editing, he can usually be found writing features that are 1,000 words too long. He thinks labradoodles are the best dogs but doesn't get to write about them much.


National Livestock Producers Association Sheep & Goat Fund - Welcome!
It is the mission of the National Livestock Producers Association's Sheep & Goat Fund to encourage innovation and efficiency in the sheep and goat industries by providing credit to eligible and qualified entities.
The NLPA Sheep and Goat Fund is a revolving fund established within NLPA to assist the U.S. sheep and goat industries by strengthening and enhancing the production and marketing of sheep and goats and their products in the United States.
service loans from all segments of the sheep and goat industries; from production through the packer/processor/retail level.
The Sheep and Goat Industry is in need of creative ideas that will add value to sheep and goats and the products they provide. National Livestock Producers Association encourages industry members to evaluate the immediate needs in their area, gather support from others who recognize those needs, and work together to find the most effective solutions to local concerns.
The purpose of the fund has been to assist in financing projects beyond the farm gate; however, as of June 2013 the fund has the ability to make term loans to sheep producers for the purpose of flock expansion. Click here for more information.

Admit that we are powerless over our substance of choice –that our lives have become unmanageable.
Make a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of God as we understand Him.
Become entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.
Humbly ask Him to remove our shortcomings.
Make a list of all persons we had harmed, and become willing to make amends to them all.
Seek through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understand Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these Steps, try to carry this message to other addicts, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.


Spent the day in Colonia, Uruguay which is only an hour and half by ferry from Buenos Aires. Supposed to be the highlight of Uruguay. Spent 12.5 hours there which was 9 hours too much. Nice and kind of reminded me of downtown Natchez.


Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of C. zeylanicunn aqueous extract on cell growth in the human myelocytic leukemia cell line (THP-1). Background: Today, application of Cinnamon for treatment of cancer investigates extensively. Cinnamon has antioxidant, anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties. Methods: In this experimental study, THP-1 was incubated in 2, 1, 0.1 and 0.01 mg/ml C. zeylanicum solutions for 24, 48 and 72 hours. Cell cycle was assessed with flow cytometry. Apoptotic cells were identified by Hoechst 33342 staining. Cell proliferation was assessed by the MTT assay. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and analytical tests. Results: Samples that supplemented with 0.1 mg/ml C. zeylanicum aqueous extract enhanced induction of apoptosis in THP-1 cell line compared to samples that supplemented with 2, 1 and 0.01 mg/ml. According to flow cytometry analysis, after 24 and 72 hours of incubation in 0.1 and 2 mg/ml C. zeylanicum aqueous extract, respectively, the amount of cells in apoptosis phase was higher than that in the control sample.
