Need help understanding which fico was pulled by lender

I currently have a mortgage and am planning on relocating..Ive been taking all advise on her last cpl months my scores were pulled by my Mortgage lender on 3-19-2015just not sure which fico system they are they read as follows Exp/fair issac(version 2) 611, Trans/Fico classic(04) 602, Equif/Fico classic v5 facta 597-I dont want to do another hard pull yet , at time of this pull i had 5 accounts in collections. got 2 PFD the other 3 are from 2011 medical collections totaling$300 working on pfd-have not been late on mortgage in 18 months(1 30 day late Jan of 2014)-Have gotten one creditcard with opensky, use it and make sure only reports 5-7% balance(opened april 2015)-my major problem was/is the collections and i had no credit besides my mortgage so with those 2 baddies off and now have a creditcard i must have gained some pts?? Im about to sign up for myfico monthly but want to make sure its the same score my lender is using. I had a cpl personal loans in 2012 that report i paid on time but they are closed..just $1000 loans i paid off but still on my reportThanks

Are you sure the OpenSky card is reporting? Does it show up on CK for example? You don't want to do the initial MyFICO pull before everything you want to show is reported. I made that mistake and ended up with initial scores that did not reflect my balances that were reporting that month. Still kicking myself for that one. If all you have is the Open Sky card you should get one more credit card at the very least - it will give you another small score boost when it reports. Wait until the late payment ages past 24 months before applying for a refi, you will get another score boost at that point.

I need help understanding how the Apple components integrate to create a system across all my devices?

I need help understanding how the Apple components connect to create a whole system across all my devices?
Is there a resource that describes current system and associated functionality?
For example:
Buy A, B, C to achieve "X"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add D to achieve "Y"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
add "E" to achieve "Z"
You will need:
an internet provider which supports <specs>
For example, I am looking at the Gen 6 Airport extreme. For intended performance do I need broadband? if so what are the specs, or will basic internet service suffice? Do I need the internet provider's modem or does the Airport extreme replace that? And then I think, if I am doing this, I should also look at Apple TV....What do I need and Why? Then I look at the New Desk top coming out in the fall, and I think well, if I wait and get this, what does this component do for the system, and what becomes redundant? What does this awesome desktop do for my ability to sit and use a new macbook air when I travel or sit on the couch in my PJs?
If there was a place that plainly stated "if you buy the new dektop you can configure a system including only these components and achieve <this result> and by adding <additional components> you will achieve this result.
I have been to the genius store a few times, but I come out of there more confused unless I have SPECIFIC questions or already know what to buy.
A "System Configuration App" would be a really great sales tool--Just saying.

I have no idea what "fully optimized" means.
No Apple device will let you watch broadcast TV. The Apple TV is a good option for watching streaming TV from iTunes, NetFlix and Hulu. If you want to watch from other sources, you may need to look at other devices.
Any Mac computer or iPad will allow you to surf the web.
What business software?
Time Capsule is a good option for back ups.
Update what across all devices?
For accessing documents from all devices, a service like Dropbox is your best bet.
I have no idea what "step as far away from an internet provider as possible" means. If you want Internet access, you need an Internet provider.
Lighting fast speed for what? Processor? The specs are listed for all devices in the Online Store. Internet? We're back to the service provider.
Technology changes. The only way to keep pace with it beyond a couple of years is to buy new stuff.
The bottom line is you need to look at the specs for devices availble and at your budget and decide what best meets your needs. If you are unable to do that on your own, there are lot of technology consultants out there who will, for a fee, look at your exact situation, make recommendations and even handle the purchase and set up. Perhaps that would be the best route for you.
Best of luck.

I need help identifying which Magsafe Power Adapter I need for my Macbook Pro Model A1398, EMC 2673?

Provided the computer-end fits, you are free to use one with a HIGHER Wattage rating. No damage whatsoever will be done to any component, but it will likely run cooler (but may be slightly heavier).
If you use one with too LOW a Wattage rating, you will not be able to charge and run at the same time, and your computer's top speed (for its most intensive computations) will be limited.

Need help on which router to buy for my BB 8320

Now i know 8320 is dated but at this point i am not planning to change anytime soon .
So I have a router which is kinda old, it didnt really occur to me since it worked. When i got my bb 8320 i was in a hotel and i could connect through their wireless without any hassle. I could surf, use youtube, name it.
When i got home i couldnt do anything, i spent countless nights trying to figure out waht was wrong then i realized its my router. If only BB said somethign it wont support old routers then i wouldve saved myself hours of self-loathing.
Anyways I also have gone to my friends house, and i could connect to her linksys router without any hassle. i was the one who set her router up and we bought it this year. i didnt do anything special, configuration-wise or w/e.
So NOW i am just going to buy a new router. I really need help!!!!
I was wondering if this one is good:

Need Help Understanding How To Use iMessage Between Two iPhones

I have an iPhone 4 and my wife an iPhone 3GS. We both have iOS 5, but I have discovered something about iMessage I need to make sure I understand correctly. As I understand it iMessage can send text even if our voice carrier service is unavailable. I tend to loose signal inside the building I work in. I usually can get texts in and out, but sometimes not. But in testing the two phones sending iMessages, I've noticed is that if I have one of the phones with iMessage turned on and the other with iMessage turned off, the two phones will not be able to exchange text. Is that how it's supposed to work? Even though one of these phones can receive an iMessage doesn't mean the other one send one back. Can't the system detect when one phone is connected and another one not, and the one that is not gets sent SMS messages instead? I don't want to try to send my wife an iMessage because I can't get a voice signal in my building, but her have iMessages turned off and not able to get any messages from me, iMessage or SMS. I guess I need help better understanding how this actually works between the two phones so I can always get texts back and forth between my wife and I. My other misgiving is that this iMessage thing consumes my data limit. My wife gets unlimited because she had her phone before the limits were imposed, but I got on board after, so I am hesitant to use iMessage all the time because of it. I have no intention to send picture mail through iMessage, but the thing is if I wanted to switch to SMS to send picture mail to save data, but my wife's phone is set to iMessage, she won't get it. If this is how this thing is supposed to work, I'm not really impressed. Some insight would be appreciated

I think you are making this way too complicated. Why are you turning iMessage off? If you are at your office connect to the WiFi there and send your wife messages that way (unless your office is blocking the port iMessage uses). When possible the two phones will use iMessage but will revert to SMS is iMessage is not available if that option is set that way.
I would not worry about using up your data plan if you have the 2GB, text iMessages are going to be very small and MMS (picture) ones are not very large either. Unless you are sending hundreds of picture iMessages a day you will have a hard time using up your data.
If you are near an Apple Store you should explore signing up for an intro iPhone course and have them run through iMessage options.

Need help understanding syntax

Hi,
I need some help to understand the following syntax .
PPRAMImpl am = (PPRAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean); What is this PPARAMImpl?
I know "am " is a variable . And with pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) we are trying to get the AM name for that page, then why do we need to add (PPARAMImpl) before pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) ?
For example in plsql , apps.testpkg.mainproc(param1,param2)
means
schema.packagename.procedurename(parameter1,parameter2).
So can you explain "PPRAMImpl am = (PPRAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean)" in that manner?
pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM))
What is this ?
What are the possible values for EVENT_PARAM ? And by the way , I need help on setting a default value for one of my search parameters in a search region .
Correct me If I am wrong, this is what I thought
1. EOImpl has setters and getters for that attribute. So call the setter method in controller and set the value , if this is right then I don't know how to right the code ,can you give me some sample code ?
or
2. get the view object name and then set the value for that . like viewobject.setattribute('att name',att value'),if this is right then I don't know how to right the code ,can you give me some sample code ?
Thanks
Sri.

Hi,
No. These are not equal.
pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) return AM of type OAApplicationModule.
It would be fine if your variable am, is of type OAApplicationModule:
OAApplicationModule am = pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean) // this would be fine.
But as you are using of type PPRAMImpl, you must have to type-cast that externally using:
PPRAMImpl am = (PPRAMImpl)pageContext.getApplicationModule(webBean);
If you are still not clear, then refer any java book or google for internal & external type-casting in java.

Need help understanding Background App Refresh

I'm trying to understand how Background App Refresh works. Whether it is on or off, whenever I switch to another app it will reload the page/app. Games start back at the home screen, webpages reload, all my typing (notes etc) disappear, it's as if I'm opening the page/app for the first time over and over. I don't keep more than a few things open at once, so I'm not a multitask hog. I assumed that with the Background App Refresh on it would keep the things open and current. Is it a RAM issue? Why do things keep reloading? Even if it's only Safari with one tab and I'm typing an email, when I go back to Safari the page reloads and I need to find what I was looking at again...
Anyone else experience this? iPhone 6 Plus with the latest iOS.

This is the key phrase from that page: "Some apps can continue to run in the background. You can allow these apps to refresh themselves by turning on Background App Refresh. This settings lets apps check for new content and download updates, or retrieve updated content in the background when they receive push notifications."
Only some apps can retrieve updated data through background app refresh (BAR). *All* apps can enter multitasking and be opened quickly...but this is NOT the idea behind BAR. BAR capable apps have the additional ability to refresh their data & content if they are enabled to do so. Just because an app is in multitasking, it doesn't mean it's capable of background app refresh.
If that doesn't clarify things, check out the following page:

I need help understanding how this works. AS 2.0

Its my first time here and i only started learning flash today. I aint too great with maths and i was showed this piece of code that makes a triangles point follow the cursor. It involved mathimatical things ( which i aint so great at) and the guy said "You dont need to know how it works, just how to use it." well i copied his code and it worked, but i have no idea how to use it in other rotation apart from the one he taught us. I dont even understand how to redo his code i saved it to a word document and anytime i wanted to make something rotate something in that fashion i would refer to that. But i dont want to have to do that, i want to know how to use it, dont have to understand it, but use it for other rotation matters. If you are going to help, please try to be a bit simmple i explaining it, cause im new. Dont get me wrong i aint thick but i can find it a bit hard to follow some things, that is i my current problem.
here is the rotation code:
onEnterFrame = function()
hero._rotation = getmouse(hero);
getmouse = function(mc:MovieClip):Number
dy = _ymouse-mc._y;
dx = _xmouse-mc._x;
rad = Math.atan2(dy,dx);
rotate = rad*180/Math.PI
return rotate+90
also if it helps, here is the video i was watching: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3OfrpbNhHs
please if you can, explain how the entire thing works.
thanks for any help given in advance.

Hi,
Here's a short primer. It may not be sufficient but here goes.
1st, move the closing bracket at the end and put it on the third line. This makes the code more efficient
onEnterFrame = function(){                               // this causes Flash to repeatedly
                                                                          execute the next line at the
                                                                          frame rate you selected
                                                                          for your document
       hero._rotation = getmouse(hero);               // this tells Flash to rotate a
                                                                          movie clip (named hero) based
                                                                          on the function getmouse()
};                                                                     // putting the }; here makes the
                                                                          code more efficient and readable
getmouse = function(mc:MovieClip):Number{   // This is the function called with
                                                                         mc referring to hero that was

     dy = _ymouse-mc._y;                                // dy means delta y which subtracts
                                                                        the y position of the movieclip
                                                                        from the mouses y position
     dx = _xmouse-mc._x;                               // dx = delta x (same as above line
                                                                        but on the x axis)
                                                                     // once you have the x and y sides
                                                                        you male a triangle.
                                                                        Now use trig to find the angle
     rad = Math.atan2(dy,dx);                           // the computer works in radians
                                                                        the arc tangent atan2 will give the

     return rotate+90                                         // this returns the value of rotate back
                                                                        to the calling function in line 2.
                                                                        the +90 determines which part
                                                                    // of the hero movie clip is facing the

If you put the mouse cursor over any of the green reserved words above in the Actions panel you will get a desctription of what these do.
hope that helps.

Need help understanding profiles and color management

I made the big leap from inexpensive inkjets to:
1 Epson 3800 Standard
2 Spyder3Studio
I have a Mac Pro Quad, Aperture, PS3, etc.
I have a steep learning curve ahead, here's what I've done:
1 Read a lot of books, watched tutorials, etc.
2 Calibrated the monitor
3 Calibrated the printer several times and created .icc profiles
What I've found:
1 The sample print produced by Spyder3Print, using the profile I created with color management turned off in the print dialog, looks very good.
2 When I get into Aperture, and apply the .icc profile I created in the proofing profile with onscreen proofing, the onscreen image does not change appreciably compared with the no proof setting. It gets slightly darker
3 When I select File>Print image, select the profile I created, turn off color management and look a the resulting preview image it looks much lighter and washed out than the onscreen image with onscreen proofing turned on.
4 When I print the image, it looks the same as was shown in the print preview...light and washed out, which is much different than what is shown in edit mode.
5 When I open PS3 with onscreen soft-proofing, the onscreen image is light and washed out...just like displayed in PS3 preview. If I re-edit the image to look OK onscreen, and print with the profile and color management turned off, the printed image looks OK.
So, why am I confused?
1 In the back of my simplistic and naive mind, I anticipated that in creating a custom printer profile I would only need to edit a photo once, so it looks good on the calibrated screen, and then a custom printer profile will handle the work to print a good looking photo. Different profiles do different translations for different printers/papers. However, judging by the PS work, it appears I need to re-edit a photo for each printer/paper I encounter...just doesn't seem right.
2 In Aperture, I'm confused by the onscreen proofing does not present the same image as what I see in the print preview. I'm selecting the same .icc profile in both locations.
I tried visiting with Spyder support, but am not able to explain myself well enough to help them understand what I'm doing wrong.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Calibrated the printer several times and created .icc profiles
You have understand that maintaining the colour is done by morphing the colourants, and you have understood that matching the digital graphic display (which is emissive) to the print from the digital graphic printer (which is reflective) presupposes a studio lighting situation that simulates the conditions presupposed in the mathematical illuminant model for media independent matching. Basically, for a display-to-print match you need to calibrate and characterise the display to something like 5000-55000 kelvin. There are all sorts of arguments surrounding this, and you will find your way through them in time, but you now have the gist of the thing.
So far so good, but what of the problem posed by the digital graphic printer? If you are a professional photographer, you are dependent on your printer for contract proofing. Your prints you can pass to clients and to printers, but your display you cannot. So this is critical.
The ICC Specification was published at DRUPA Druck und Papier in Düsseldorf in May 1995 and ColorSync 2 Golden Master is on the WWDC CD for May 1995. Between 1995 and 2000 die reine Lehre said to render your colour patch chart in the raw condition of the colour device.
The problem with this is that in a separation the reflectance of the paper (which is how you get to see the colours of the colourants laid down on top of the paper) and the amount of colourant (solid and combinations of tints) gives you the gamut.
By this argument, you would want to render the colour patch chart with the most colourant, but what if the most colourant produces artifacts? A safer solution is to have primary ink limiting as part of the calibration process prior to rendering of the colour patch chart.
You can see the progression e.g. in the BEST RIP which since 2002 has been owned by EFI Electronics for Imaging. BEST started by allowing access to the raw colour device, with pooling problems and whatnot, but then introduced a primary ink limiting and linearisation.
The next thing you need to know is what colour test chart to send to the colour device, depending on whether the colour device is considered an RGB device or a CMYK device. By convention, if the device is not driven by a PostScript RIP it is considered an RGB device.
The colour patch chart is not tagged, meaning that it is deviceColor and neither CIEBased colour or ICCBased colour. You need to keep your colour patch chart deviceColor or you will have a colour characterisation of a colour managed conversion. Which is not what you want.
If the operating system is colour managed through and through, how do you render a colour test chart without automatically assigning a source ICC profile for the colourant model (Generic RGB Profile for three component, Generic CMYK Profile for four component)?
The convention is that no colour conversion occurs if the source ICC device profile and the destination ICC device profile are identical. So if you are targetting your inkjet in RGB mode, you open an RGB colourant patch chart, set the source ICC profile for the working space to the same as the destination ICC profile for the device, and render as deviceColor.
You then leave the rendered colourant test chart to dry for one hour. If you measure a colourant test chart every ten minutes through the first hour, you may find that the soluble inkjet inks in drying change colour. If you wait, you avoid this cause of error in your characterisation.
As you will mainly want to work with loose photographs, and not with photographs placed in pages, when you produce a contract proof using Absolute Colorimetric rendering from the ICC profile for the printing condition to the ICC profile for your studio printer, here's a tip.
Your eyes, the eyes of your client, and the eyes of the prepress production manager will see the white white of the surrounding unprinted margins of the paper, and will judge the printed area of the paper relative to that.
If, therefore, your untrimmed contract proof and the contract proof from Adobe InDesign or QuarkPress, or a EFI or other proofing RIP, are placed side by side in the viewing box your untrimmed contract proof will work as the visual reference for the media white.
The measured reference for the media white is in the ICC profile for the printing condition, to be precise in the WTPT White Point tag that you can see by doubleclicking the ICC profile in the Apple ColorSync Utility. This is the lightness and tint laid down on proof prints.
You, your client and your chosen printer will get on well if you remember to set up your studio lighting, and trim the blank borders of your proof prints. (Another tip: set your Finder to neutral gray and avoid a clutter of white windows, icons and so forth in the Finder when viewing.)
So far, so good. This leaves the nittygritty of specific ICC profiling packages and specific ICC-enabled applications. As for Aperture, do not apply a gamma correction to your colourant patch chart, or to colour managed printing.
As for Adobe applications, which you say you will be comparing with, you should probably be aware that Adobe InDesign CS3 has problems. When targetting an RGB printing device, the prints are not correctly colour managed, but basically bypass colour management.
There's been a discussion on the Apple ColorSync Users List and on Adobe's fora, see the two threads below.
Hope this helps,

Need help understanding why "1 is always equal to 1" is necessary in my Advanced Action

I am using Captivate 7 and publishing as a SWF.
I have an interaction that works, but there's one script that I use (which I found in a tutorial) that I don't understand the purpose of.
The interaction is contained on a single slide where a user clicks two buttons in any order and a graphic appears after the second click. On each button I have a Conditional Advanced Action where I first check that it will always be true that "1 is equal to 1", then assign each variable with "1", then check that each variable was equal to 1 after which the graphic appears.
The part that confuses me is checking if "1 is always equal to 1." Why is this script necessary in this case? Is it necessary because I'm including a Standard Advanced Action (assigning variables to "1") within the Conditional Advanced Action? Or is related to the fact that I'm doing everything on one slide (not using an On Enter slide event executing a Conditional Advanced Action)?
Thanks.

Perhaps it will help to think using different terms.
If you need a script that performs a check against some condition, you need a Conditional Action. Maybe you need to show an image if button 1 has been clicked. And if button 2 has been clicked, you need to show a different image.
Before checking to see which button has been pressed, you need to hide both images so that only the desired image is shown. So you need to perform the same action each time before checking some variable to take a specific action.
This is where the "If 1=1" would come from.
Each time the script is run, hide both images. Since the check to see if 1=1 will ALWAYS evaluate as true, the "ELSE" part will never be reached. So you would always perform the same actions just as a Standard Action would do.
Perhaps if you posted some screen captures of your scripts, we might better explain it.
Cheers... Rick

Need help deciding which adobe product to purchase (Photoshop or Illustrator)

hello,
I am about to be given the task of creating the graphics for my company on a specific task.
We recently got a new printer to create cards with and before now, everyone has been running into trouble getting clean, accurately colored prints for these cards, and I am being given the task of creating them and need to decide what program I will need to achieve this.
What happens, is a company orders a set of cards and sends their graphic, which I will be receiving at a different size than will be needed for printing, so I need to enlarge it, which distorts the colors.
Also, on almost all of the images, I will be needing to add some words to the graphic before printing it, like the company name or address etc. but then occasionally, I am given some general images and generic instructions which I need to follow in order to create the graphic.
So, I was thinking that photoshop would help me to refill the colors after resizing an image, or when I need to create the graphic mostly myself, yet I will be having difficulty creating the words required.
But then illustrator would be giving me excelent fonts and words since its a vector program, yet I believe I will run into problems colorizing my graphics once resized.
So, what does everyone think would be the better option here?
Or what would be a good work around for either photoshop or illustrator that would help me resolve the problems arrising because I do not have the other?
Or what are some other potential problems I might possibly run into?

Well exactally,
Being the economic misfortune that hit the country, my company doesn't have the funds to pay for a professional and they are trying to find a way to keep the project inside the building.
me being 20 years old and wishing to pursue a career in graphic design sees this as a great opportunity to learn alot about printmaking as well as how to use graphic editing programs on a level higher than taught in school.
My boss is wanting me, and going to pay for me, to go under several hours of training to accomplish what needs to be done, but like I said, I am given the task of trying to figure out what kind of software I am going to need for the task, which is why I am here asking about the programs.
Also, it is kind of my first attempt at trying to further understand exactally what each of the programs do, and so far, I have learned quite alot by searching around and asking what other people think.
So, If you don't find it to be too hard to put your opinions or thoughts about how I could best accomplish creating the cleanest cards I would greatly appreciate it.
Sincerely,
BeeHiver

Need help understanding an example in Flex 4 Language Reference: flash.data.sqlstatement

I don't understand how to use the example in Flash Builder. I read the link concerning this, but it's still unclear.
1) Is this example a single file, or should the class definition be separate? I ask because I don't see any import statements at all, which makes me wonder how it would work.
2) does init() act as the automatic entry point for this code, or is this function called from some unseen event?
3) does dbStatement.itemClass = Employee represent the link between the main app and the class file?
I've been looking all over for a solution to my problem in that I have 8 or 10 querries to a sqlite db in my main application and I would really like to move each to their own file, but I don't understand how to reference them from the main app, or how to share the results with the main app. I was hoping this was what I'm looking for.
// Employee class definition
package
    public class Employee
        public var name:String;
        public var ssn:String;
        public var id:uint;
        public override function toString():String
            return "id: "+ id.toString() + " name: " + name + " ssn: " + ssn;
// using the Employee class as SQLStatement.itemClass
var conn:SQLConnection;
var dbStatement:SQLStatement;
function init():void
    conn = new SQLConnection();
    conn.addEventListener(SQLEvent.OPEN, connOpenHandler);
    dbStatement = new SQLStatement();
    dbStatement.sqlConnection = conn;
    dbStatement.text = "SELECT id, name, ssn FROM employees";
    dbStatement.itemClass = Employee;
    var dbFile:File = new File(File.separator + "employee.db");
    conn.open(dbFile);
function connOpenHandler(event:SQLEvent):void
    dbStatement.addEventListener(SQLEvent.RESULT, resultHandler);
    dbStatement.execute();
function resultHandler(event:SQLEvent):void
    var result:SQLResult = dbStatement.getResult();
    if (result != null)
        var emp:Employee;
        var numRows:int = result.data.length;
        for (var i:int = 0; i < numRows; i++)
            emp = result.data[i];
            trace(emp.toString());
Thanks
Kristin

Hi Kristin,
1020: Method marked override must override another method.
-overridesObject.toString
There is popular misconception among ActionScripters about toString() method - if one want to provide custom implementation method of super class "override" keyword is needed.
But in case of Object "toString" is dynamic and it is attached at runtime negating the need of overriding - instead implementation is to be provided by developer so one is not created at runtime. So one needs to just write her own: toString():String method.
Methods of the Object class are dynamically created on Object's prototype. To redefine this method in a subclass of Object, do not use the override keyword. For example, a subclass of Object implements function toString():String instead of using an override of the base class.

hth,

Need help understanding how DNS should be set up...

Some time back I was advised to switch my network settings such as to start using the OpenDNS servers rather than the ISP (Comcast) servers that were setup by default... I did so, at least I did so in the Network/DNS settings on my MacBook Pro... But I just noticed today that my Airport Extreme Router has its own DNS settings and those are still set to the Comcast settings...
How does all this work??? Which DNS settings matter, the ones in the Network setup for each Mac or PC in my home network??? Or do the Router settings win over everything else???
I need a brief tutorial on how to properly set up the DNS settings not just for a computer but for an entire home network... Any feedback???? thanks...

I do appreciate the help... One other interesting thing I encountered recently... I was in Oakland airport where they have free wifi... I found myself unable to connect though I had been successful in other earlier visits there.... I got curious and played for a while... What I discovered (after an hour of trying but I had time) was that I had to change my DNS settings on my computer to an address very similar to the home page IP of the airport website... I don't recall now how I came to finally figure that out but it was happenstance more than anything... I vaguely recall me stumbling upon some message where the airport was suggesting a DNS value to use. It popped up on the screen or inside the Network settings or somewhere.. I think it was when I was walking through the connection wizard which I did several times before I had success...
But I've never had that experience in airports before... All of this shows how my ignorance of DNS keeps finding ways to impact my ability to "get connected" when here or there... Again, just another interesting DNS issue I stumbled upon recently... thanks...

Need help understanding communicating with a thread

I am trying to write a library of a MUD engine that runs in its separate thread, but I am new to Java and not sure I have the concepts right. The heart of it is a class called Game, that implements the Runnable Interface and has 2 key methods - void DoCommand(String command) and String GetUpdates(String lastUpdate).
* The Run() method runs an infinite loop that processes queued commands when they are due, and pauses (wait() or sleep()) in between. The results are queued in an update list.
* The DoCommand() method queues commands to be processed in Run().
* The GetUpdates() method pulls updates from the update list one at a time.
Will there be a problem if DoCommand() or GetUpdates() are called while Run() is paused or running?
How do I get DoCommand() to wake Run() when a new command is received?
BTW: I am new to Java so please make the answers simple enough for me to understand.
My theoretical code skeleton is below, but I am not confident in it given these questions I have.

OK cotton.m. I will try that and see what happens.
What about my question about which thread DoCommand() will run in (my second post in this message thread)? Any answers? I think that's key to me understanding what is needed to get my code to work the way I want, but I don't know how to test which thread it is running in.Possibly by interrupt.
Or possibly by adding the command to a command queue which in turn would notify a thread waiting on the queue for the next command.
