"That's not quite making sense to me... I'm a 27" waist & I'm 14" accross the front on my waist in the front. ?? But my hips are 36" so I'm not sure if the 36 would fit me?? I guess I'm not sure where in the front to measure? "
Vintage Loves at 4:32 PM on 4/10/2013
"Hello, Please view our size chart for jean measurements: http://www.freepeople.com/pop-ups-size-chart/#Bottoms Generally you should measure where you'd like the waist to fall. Thee are meant to be worn as a relaxed, boyfriend fit, so you may want to measure your drop waist rather than your natural waist. Hope this helps! "

Contractor to survey all county roads
6:00am Thursday 2nd January 2014 in News
OXFORDSHIRE'S new roads maintenance contractor Skanska is carrying out a complete review of the county's highways network.
This is part of Oxfordshire County Council's attempt to get a better understanding of the condition the road network is in.
Information will be stored and updated periodically.
Huw Jones, county council director for environment and economy, said: "We consider that to improve the condition of local roads we need to have a better understanding of the asset.
"This will include a comprehensive knowledge of what it is, where it is and what condition it is in, all recorded on a system.
"This information would be continually updated and utilised to inform future maintenance programmes."
Skanska took over the county council's £28m contract in October after the previous holder – Atkins – opted for a change in direction and sold its highway services business.
It means Skanska is now responsible for routine road maintenance around Oxfordshire including safety defect repair, gully emptying, gritting and grass cutting.
The review is expected to be completed ahead of the next financial year in April.

COLUMBIA, Mo. — As a cancer survivor, Freda Swigert understands the physical and mental toll the disease takes on the body. Now this Lincoln, Mo., native plans to test her physical and mental endurance again, as she bikes nearly 500 miles across four states to raise money for Ellis Fischel Cancer Center.
Beginning at 2 p.m. Tuesday, May 18, Swigert will bicycle from Marshall Junction, Mo., at the intersection of Interstate 70 and Highway 65, to Nashville, Tenn. Along the way, Swigert will collect donations to aid cancer patients at Ellis Fischel.
Swigert lost her father and two aunts to cancer. Three years ago she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. While the 41-year-old admits she has health problems of her own, she says this bicycle ride isn't about her needs, but rather making a difference in easing the pain cancer patients suffer through every day.
"I want to do what I can to find a cure for cancer or help a cancer patient into remission," said Swigert. "That's what is important to me."
To make a donation in support of Swigert's ride, please send contributions to: Ellis Fischel - Swigert Ride c/o Laura Gajda One Hospital Drive Columbia, MO 65212

"I didn't have one," Robinson, 65, said. "They put more emphasis on boys playing football than they did people going to war and coming back."
His wife, Linda, said Ranburne had a parade for a football hero around the time her husband returned injured from Vietnam.
"It would have really helped the Vietnam vets to be recognized," Robinson said.
Things have changed and veterans are treated with more respect than they were when he first returned home. Robinson does his part by volunteering with the Disabled American Veterans driving his military brothers to and from the Birmingham Veterans Affairs Hospital.
Robinson was drafted into the U.S. Army in March 1968. He was just 19. Everybody in Vietnam was a kid, Robinson said. He was sent first to Germany and then in June 1969, his unit was shipped to Vietnam. It didn't take long before he was injured.
On Aug. 6, 1969, his unit was in a fight about 5 p.m. An explosion sent shrapnel everywhere. His buddy pushed him into a foxhole and saved his life, his wife said. Still he was hit with five pieces of shrapnel.
"There was three killed; one of them was my buddy," Robinson said. "I was one of 15 wounded."
The injured soldiers were flown out by helicopter to a clinic where the bleeding was stopped and they were stabilized, he said. Then they flew to a hospital for treatment. At the hospital, staff lined them up and each soldier waited to be treated.
Robinson's turn came about 2 a.m., he said. One of the pieces of shrapnel had collapsed his lung.
He lost about 30 percent of that lung's function, Robinson said. Three pieces of shrapnel hit him in the shoulder causing nerve damage in that arm. He lost about 50 percent of the function in his hand, he said. Another piece of shrapnel hit him in the head. Four of those pieces of shrapnel are still in his body, Robinson said.
He spent two weeks in Vietnamese hospitals and two weeks in a Japanese hospital before he was flown back to the United States, Robinson said. He spent more than a month on U.S. bases receiving treatment before coming home to Cleburne County. He still hadn't celebrated his 21st birthday. For about two years after he came home, Robinson dealt with survivor's guilt. The guilt has faded over the years, but talking about the battle still brings him to tears.
In 1970, shortly after he was discharged from the Army, Robinson reported to the Birmingham Veterans Affairs Medical Center for further treatment on his wounds. The hospital "was nasty," Robinson said. The staff was disrespectful and the hospital needed a good sweeping.
"It was a filthy place," he said. "It was like, they wasn't there for your best benefit."
He didn't go back to the hospital until 2000, Robinson said. But things are different now.
The Birmingham VA Hospital has cleaned up and is now ranked in the top 10 of VA hospitals, Robinson said. "It's really a first class set up now," Robinson said.
Since 2006, Robinson has spent his Thursdays driving a 12-passenger van from the Oxford VA Clinic to the Birmingham VA Medical Center and back again – a veteran helping veterans, he said. "Driving that van helps him," his wife said. "He felt like it helped him being around them."
Robinson is as loyal a driver as the program could find, said Paul Brouillette, coordinator of the program. Robinson has received four awards for his volunteer service one in 2010, 2011, 2012 and this year. His 2013 award was for 2,964 volunteer hours. Robinson's recently taken some time off from the program, but hopes to return, he said.
Robinson said he will be spending his Veteran's Day attending the service in Anniston at Centennial Park.
The van he drives will be in the parade afterwards.

Sometimes coming in under budget isn't about cutting expenses, but about working smarter--by planning ahead, saving time and effort, or simply changing the way you usually do things. Here are 99 tips for doing just that.
Choosing the Right Site
1. Get the local convention and visitors bureau to do the legwork in setting up your site visit.
2. Use local destinations or smaller cities that can offer you more for your money.
3. Use a video camera to tape your site inspection. This will help you to remember the property.
4. Research your hotel suppliers. Is there any competition? How busy is the market? Are you in high, low, or midseason? How many years has the supplier been in business?
5. Research the rack rates, as well as group rates. Call the toll-free line or reservations desk of the property or chain. This way you will know the "worst case" pricing.
6. Always give conservative room blocks. If you block too many rooms, you will end up paying for them.
Smart Budgeting
7. Meet every day with your hotelier to review the master account. This will allow you to catch errors on-site.
8. Communicate your budget information to the convention services manager. His or her role is to work with you.
9. Always budget at least 10 percent of your expenses as "contingency." This will take care of unforeseen costs such as
* labor strikes
* bad weather
* overtime
* extra postage and mailings
* phone and computer hookups
* cancellation insurance
* speaker substitutions.
10. Ask for a cash discount for payment on-site.
11. Limit authorized signatures, and don't accept charges signed by unauthorized people.
12. Learn the tax laws for both your business location and the location of your event. You could be eligible for tax breaks that you aren't claiming.
13. Know the value of your business. Keep a detailed history of all your events.
Contract Do's and Don'ts
14. Negotiate sliding-scale rates with the hotel.
15. Negotiate no deposit--or at least that the deposit will be placed in an interest-bearing account.
16. Have several supplier options, and don't let any one supplier think he or she is your only choice.
17. Develop long-term relationships with properties and chains you use often. Negotiate volume discounts.
18. Prepare a detailed request for proposal. Communicate the value of your meeting.
19. Ask for everything and anything that you want right up front, including
* 1:30 or 1:40 comp rates
* airport transfers
* early check-in times
* late checkout times
* complimentary coffee and tea in the rooms
* complimentary meeting space, rehearsal space, setup/take-down
* no package-receiving charges
* continental breakfast in the meeting room
* extended-stay rates
* free local calls
* free office space
* free or reduced parking for VIPs and staff
* free foot massages for staff
* health club access or an aerobics instructor for a health break
* late cutoff dates
* reduced room rates for speakers
* reduced room rates for staff
* upgrades for VIPs and staff
* welcome gifts and notes
* a specific amount of electricity for your event to be underwritten by the venue.
20. Add a clause in the hotel contract that states you will not pay the final invoice until you have received a detailed post-convention evaluation from the property.
21. Work with hotels to fill their "hot dates," or meeting space "holes." Though the low season seems to be getting shorter, try to schedule meetings in the least busy times of the year.
22. Be flexible with your arrivals and departures. Can you move from a Tuesday through Thursday to a Saturday through Monday meeting?
23. Build in a "protect yourself" clause. Make sure the cancellation clause is reciprocal. What if the hotel is undergoing major renovations during your event? Or if there's a change in management?
24. Build up your F&B totals with on-site meals and functions. Hotels will be more willing to negotiate.
25. Lock in the menu prices. If the hotel will not provide a specific menu in advance, at least agree that the menu prices will not increase more than a fixed percentage per year.
26. Never sign a contract unless you agree with it in its entirety. Cross out or edit clauses with which you do not agree, initial them, and get the supplier to initial his or her agreement.
27. Pay attention to cutoff dates. Keep in regular contact with suppliers even after the contract is signed. Watch the business climate in that city/region.
28. Cash in your comp rooms for suites first, which are more valuable.
29. Work with national sales offices to set up site visits.
Save on Staffing
30. Hire on-site registration and secretarial staff instead of paying staff to travel.
31. Know local overtime restrictions and regulations.
32. Schedule staff at straight time to avoid overtime.
33. Pay staff travel per diem. Outline exactly what they're allowed to spend on meals and transportation.
F&B Tips
34. Deal with the chef directly. Challenge him or her to work with your meeting's goals and concept. The chef will know what is in season and what is grown or produced locally, and can be very creative if given the opportunity.
35. Buy your coffee, tea, and decaf in bulk or by the gallon, if at all possible.
36. Order as much as possible "by consumption." Uneaten food and drink can be returned and not charged. This works well with soda and packaged foods like potato chips, but can also be done with perishables.
37. Re-use food if possible. Wrap uneaten danishes and doughnuts from the coffee break and provide them at lunch with the dessert options.
38. Instead of hot breakfast, serve an extended continental breakfast by adding fresh fruit, yogurt, and cereal to the regular offerings.
39. Cut down on portions. Cut danishes and doughnuts in half. Offer mini-muffins, mini-doughnuts, mini-danishes.
40. Use sit-down meals, which can cut food preparation labor costs as much as 20 percent.
41. Skip the dessert, salad, or soup. Dessert can be served at breaks.
42. Distribute box lunches instead of holding a formal sit-down lunch.
43. Ask which other groups are using the hotel at the same time. You may be able to have the same menu, thereby gaining economies of scale that can be passed on in cost savings to you.
44. Place expensive food items in harder-to-reach places on the banquet table.
45. Try staffed food stations, such as stir fry stations and pasta tables.
46. Avoid shrimp, oysters, and other expensive delicacies.
47. Compare a la carte vs. per-person pricing on a spreadsheet.
48. Find a local winery or microbrewery to sponsor your liquor costs.
49. If you are able to, buy soft drinks and liquor in bulk and have your staff serve it. Sometimes hotels will waive their "must use our banquet services" clauses for small hospitality suite functions.
50. Cut cocktail hours short by 15 minutes.
51. Use a controlled-pour system. Make sure the bartenders are measuring what they are pouring. If you are being charged by the drink served, you may find a "liberal ice" policy and weaker drinks in general. If you are charged by the bottle, the mixed drinks may be too strong.
52. Eliminate alcohol altogether. Or eliminate the hard liquor and mixed drinks. Serve only soft drinks, bottled mineral water, juices, beer, and wine.
53. Ask the hotelier if a discontinued wine label is available that can be consumed at a reduced rate.
Room Setup Savings
54. Find out which groups are in the hotel immediately prior to and following your meeting and work together on your staging requirements. This will save you money in labor for set-up and teardown.
55. If a meeting lasts more than two days, keep the meeting room setup identical.
56. Use skirted tables instead of renting secretarial desks for on-site offices.
57. Reduce the number of breakout rooms needed, saving audio-visual (AV) and setup costs.
58. Use the same room with two setups. For example, use the room classroom-style for the course, and banquet-style for serving lunch and for breaks. Put up screens or use plants to divide the space.
Inexpensive Speakers
59. Use industry experts as speakers. Book local speakers or entertainers to save on travel expenses.
60. Hire now. Speakers and entertainers often raise their rates every year. Lock in at this year's rates.
61. Negotiate a flat rate instead of fee plus expenses.
62. Piggyback speakers and entertainers with other groups in the same hotel or same city.
63. Use versatile acts in more than one event.
64. Understand union rules and hire the minimum number of musicians required.
65. See the talent in action and check references.
Transportation Tips
66. Analyze the cost savings of airfare requiring a Saturday-night stay. It may not be cheaper than paying for the extra room night plus applicable per diem.
67. Instead of "meet and greet" services, distribute vouchers for airport shuttles and/or fare for public buses or subways.
68. While negotiating for your hotel or resort, request complimentary limousine service for VIPs to and from the hotel. Also inquire about reserved and complimentary parking.
69. Ask that your speical guests and staff get reserved parking spaces close to the hotel entrance.
70. Transport delegates within a four- to eight-hour window to cut back on bus transfer costs.
71. Ask for free drink coup-ons on airline flights.
72. Ask for additional frequent-flyer points from your official air-carrier.
73. Ask the local taxi company for discount coupons for local shows, restaurants, and sight-seeing attractions.
74. Use the carrier's VIP lounge for the group's meet and greet.
75. Travel during off-peak hours (early morning or late evening).
76. Ask hotels whether they provide a complimentary airport-shuttle service and book with those that do.
AV Answers
77. Sit down with your AV company and work out the cheapest way to set up.
78. Use cocktail rounds instead of renting overhead carts.
79. Buy a TV and give it away later as a door prize instead of racking up several days of rental costs.
80. Use a slide projector with color gels for a spotlight.
81. Use as few microphones as possible. This will eliminate labor and the need for sound-mixing equipment.
82. Ask for one complimentary microphone per room.
83. Ask for complimentary two-way radios when negotiating your AV contract.
84. Rent only the size screen that you need. Work with your AV person to determine the minimum size for room and setup requirements.
85. Use LCD panels instead of video projectors; consider buying your own LCD or video projector.
86. Don't arbitrarily put AV in every room. Ask speakers and moderators what they'll need first.
87. If you can, bid AV services to local contractors outside the property. Their services may be cheaper, and the competition may drive the in-house operator to lower its prices.
88. If you need a VCR, consider renting it from a local video store.
89. Deal directly with the AV company. It minimizes miscommunication, and the hotel won't charge you for middleman services.
90. If you need AV for more than one day, negotiate a reduced rental for additional days.
91. Travel with your own extension cords and surge protectors. They cost a fortune if you need them at the spur of the moment.
92. Have your audiotaping company record your meeting at no charge as part of the agreement.
93. Limit wireless microphones by opting, instead, for handheld microphones with long cords wherever possible.
94. Limit PowerPoint presentations. The LCD screens can be expensive to rent.
95. Order one microphone to be shared by two panelists at a table.
96. Don't order draping for screens; no one will notice.
97. When you expect to have extensive audiovisual requirements, book a conference center, most of which include equipment in the cost.
98. Use your hotel's closed-circuit television capabilities to announce program and program changes, room assignments, exhibit hours, announcements, and activities.
99. Just before the meeting, reconfirm the speakers' AV needs. Presenters may have originally requested equipment they no longer plan to use.

About Me Budget Shopper
I have it set up in the living room in a corner and it heats the whole downstairs. I had gone to town one evening and I have my temp in the house set at 69 deg and I had the fireplace set at 68 deg and when I came home I went into the laundry room to take my dog outside and the temp in the laundry room was at 46 deg. So I have to keep the temp at 66 deg so the furnace will heat the rest of house.

..At A Lenny Kravitz Concert
AT FIRST I WAS NERVOUS . I remember driving in the pouring rain, seeing emergency vehicles aiding two cars that had driven off the road, wondering if this would be the day I got to see the man who has touched me so much with his lyrics and spirit. As the rain intensified, I pulled off at the next exit and waited hoping it would slow or stop. Sitting in my car listening to the radio, the rain continued to pour and I was faced with the dilemma of not reaching my destination. I decided to continue so I turned on my emergency lights, drove slowly, and let the lines guide me. Don't get me wrong, when strong weather occurs and visibility is bleak, I normally find a hotel or pull off to the side of the road, but this day was different. I was driven by a force beyond my control. I did finally arrive, later than expected, tired and hungry but, I made it. I had enough time to grab a bite, so I went to a restaurant. It was there that I saw the cutest, largest, curly afro I have ever seen, and it belonged to Mr. Craig Ross-the guitarist for LK. OMG! This man can play a guitar with his left or right hand and it sounds amazing. I didn't want to disturb him while he was eating but I could not sit there and not say anything. So I cautiously walked over and said a few words to him. I thought that would be the highlight of my day, it wasn't. THINGS GOT A LITTLE UNCOMFORTABLE. After eating, I headed to the venue. I was able to secure a spot on the front row next to the stage. You would think this would be a great place to view the concert unfortunately, not unless you are taller than 6 feet. Apparently, I had the same spot that the cameraman and the photographer liked (no offense MB). I couldn't see anything, not even the large monitor on the stage. I was so crushed. I reflected on how I had driven so many miles and endured scary moments on the road only to see the back of someone's t-shirt. I tried jumping up and down but I was too short. THEN IT STARTED TO FEEL GOOD. Mr. Lenny Kravitz saw what I was going through and walked over and sang and played his guitar directly in front of me. He is so connected with his audience, it was beautiful. He knows what his audience needs and knows how to deliver. I extended my hand to say thank you and that's when he did the unexpected. He took my hand and placed his guitar pick in it. A FEELING I WILL NEVER FORGET. At that moment, I felt the love and it was so overwhelming that I am still overcome with emotion as I write this. I can honestly say that Lenny made my first time so very special.

Review about The Jackson 5 songs
Understood MJJ | Reviewer: Missing MJ------ About the song Blues Away performed by The Jackson 5
There are a few corrections needed in most of the lyrics for this song. I keep this song, along with others like: push me away, Even though you're gone, Dreamer, Time waits for no one, One more chance, 2300 Jackson St. along with others on repeat. Missing Michael more than words could say. He was most definitely a messenger who was sent by The Almighty GOD to deliver a message to the world. If you listen to the Jackson's music after they left Mowtown, and went to CBS a.k.a. Columbia Records. Songs like, Man Of War, Can You Feel It, Jump For Joy, as well as MJ's Man In The Mirror, The Earth Song, Black, or White etc... Are all evidence of MJ's depth, and insight . Another Prophet gone to soon. <3 <3 <3 Michael, and ALL of The Jackson's Family!!!!

Memories Come Back | Reviewer: Mano------ About the song I'll Be There performed by The Jackson 5
In the 70'S I use to hear many western songs and I'll be there is one of them. Then in the 80's with me being so busy with work I have lost touch of such songs though just sometime through the radio like in Singapore we do have a section of Gold 95 where such songs are played. It bring me memories of my past as school boy
Now my daughter with all the high tech has download to my computer and I am so happy that I can play this song whenever I want at home while doing some other things in the computer. Time has changed so much, memories can come back but people cannot come back like Michael Jackson -It is sad

I dedicate this song to him... Love u much
One of MANY Jacksons Gems! | Reviewer: Debi Ray------ About the song That's What You Get (For Being Polite) performed by The Jackson 5
This is one of so many songs that takes me back to a happy time, growing up with music from the "royal family", the Jacksons! Though I also loved Mike's solo efforts in later years, it ALL started with J5 for me, & I'm so grateful that I had the pleasure to experience that era in my life...now, I go back in time, put on my J5/Jacksons music ON HEAVY REPEAT, & suddenly, I'm not having such a bad day after all!!!
What Someday at Christmas means to me now. | Reviewer: Linda Sellers------ About the song Someday at Christmas performed by The Jackson 5
Michael Jackson | Reviewer: Michaela Lee------ About the song Dancing Machine performed by The Jackson 5
I may only be a preteen, but Michael has had such an influence on me as a person and as a performer. Thank you, Michael Jackson, foe being who you were and doing what you loved. May you rest in peace, sweet King Of Pop.
The greatest. | Reviewer: Calvin------ About the song Can You Feel It? performed by The Jackson 5
This song is so under-rated which is beside me! I so love this song that everytime I here it, it gives me goose pimples. Well written and composed. Long live the King Of Pop, I love and miss him so much!!

Hey Gary, how many SEC coaches now or in history have a "ring"? More importantly how many Tenn coaches have rings in the history of the program? How many even have a Final Four. When you have perspective you understand. By the way, the past 10 years of UT football had the 2nd highest winning % in program modern day history to the 1990's. They also went to 3 SEC title games during that 10 years. No one else can say that and UT had never had that kind of history nor will they again. You have obviously never played or coached a sport and are just an idiot fan.
PS John. I know you are on the local radio in Knoxville. There will be 6 SEC teams dancing baby.

How key binding in Oracle Forms works?
Jan 28, 2013 4:01 AM
Currently Being Moderated
Hi guys,
This is my first time @ this forum.
I tried to find documentation about this but no luck.
I am new to Forms. Nevertheless, I know that in order to use key binding in Forms, fmrweb.res file is used. BUT....
How the Form( client) know which key was pressed? Does the forms gets it from windows?
I mean ,what kind of info(http request??) is sent over network to server ?
Lets assume F12 is assigned as 113 key value.
What happens over network when user clicks on keyboard F12?
Is there any info about this?
I read that when client accesses Forms application for the first time, java run-time classes bundled in JAR files are downloaded to client JRE cache. These files include frmall.jar, frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar. This tells me there no conf files for client , only .class
To summarize my complicated question:) : I would like to know how my form knows what was pressed, before it send this data to server, which will read fmrweb.res and understand in the end the actual functionality
Thanks for your replies

Let me start by saying "Welcome to the Oracle Forums" and more specifically to "Forms". Before going much further, I would recommend that you review the following page as it will help you to get the most valuable replies possible.
As for what you are asking, I am guessing that there is a more specific, underlying question you are asking. Is how Forms capturing key strokes internall really important? What are you trying to accomplish? The simple answer from a fairly high level is that the java client applet (frmall.jar) monitors for client activity (mouse clicks, keyboard actions, etc) and sends that information to the server. It is the Forms runtime process (frmweb) which is running on the mid tier that reacts (as required) to that event. So, it is the runtime process using the resource file and not the client. Also, you referred to frmwebutil.jar and jacob.jar. These files are only used for WebUtil enabled forms. The only file required for all applications is frmall.jar
If your real question is, how to I doing something in my application as a result of a particular key press, then the answer to most of that is in the comments listed in fmrweb.res. Here is one example of how it works.
Let say you wanted to have your app do something
when F2 is pressed. In fmrweb.res, assign F2 is assigned to Forms function. Specifically a custom function. This would be one of the ones shown as "Function X". You can choose any one you like as these are not related to the key. In other words, the key F2 has no direct relationship with "Function 2" unless you decide to set it up that way. "Function 2" refers to the trigger in your form. So let's related the F2 key with Function 6. You entry in fmrweb.res would look something like this:
113 : 0 : "F2" : 88 : "Function 6"
Here's how this entry works:

1. The 113 directly relates to the java awt key event 113
2. The 0 indicates that no modifiers are to be included. This means that the only key pressed will be F2. There will be no Shift, Control, etc
3. The next entry ("F2") is what is displayed when "Show Keys" is displayed from your form's help.
4. The 88 is the internal ID number used by Forms which relates to an event. In this case, 88 refers to Function 6 or in other words, a KEY-F6 trigger in your form.
5. The last entry is the description of what the key does. In other words, item 3 above indicates which key to press (to the user) and this entry explains what it does or represents. So in this case, you can change the wording "Function 6" to whatever you'd like.

Again, most of this is explained in the comments of fmrweb.res although I understand it can be confusing.
This to remember:

You cannot have duplicate java events (with modifier). So be careful, if you duplicate an entry, likely nothing will happen. You can duplicate a java event so long as it has a modifier different from other similar entries. In other words, you can have a F2, Shift+F2, etc

Some keys are restricted by the OS and cannot be overridden. Exactly which ones will depend on your client OS and version. For example, on most Windows versions, you will not be able to override F1 however in some cases it may work. It will just depend on exactly which version you are using.

Hi thank you for your welcome and great answer.
You were right, there is a more specific question. How Forms capturing key strokes::)?
I am trying to build kind of sniffer to know that specific key was pressed and do something about it in my application. Its important for me to handle key-bindings dynamically.
What I mean is that my app should not get this .res file and parse it for the needed keys and values. I want to catch it over network before/after server request
I will to clarify this : F2 was pressed then java client applet get this key and sends this info to server where run-time process reacts by reading fmrweb.res ( am I right describing scenario?)
But the real problem is how runtime gets this key? Binary, ASCII? how the HTTP requests looks like?. I work with WireShark tool and could not find any helpful packet...:(
Not sure if I make my self clear...
thank you Michael ,

The exchanges between client and middle tier are HTTP requests. As for exactly what those requests look like, I am not at liberty to discuss here. Further, this does not seem like an appropriate way to design an application unless you are attempting to bascally create some sort of hack. If you want to dynamically do something based on what key was pressed you can create a java bean and react in whatever way you'd like within the scope of the form. Here is an example/demo:

Oh no, no hack here:) Lets say my intention to have stand alone application to do something like in your example.
Thank you for your help and example.
I think after some reading I now understand what my question was...
How client knows which key to send to server/runtime middle? Does the client reads keys from java.awt.event.KeyEvent ?
Again, thx
Edit : can make my answer show proper link:)
Edit 2 : What I said means client does not care at all what is defined at this .res file. Form will send to server the key user clicked, which will decide if there is an action for this key?

It would seem that the easiest way to do this is using the java bean I suggested as a starting place. Trying to pick information from the network traffic will be sloppy and potentially prone to error. For example, if a need arose to SSL enable the environment then you network sniffing will probably no longer work. At least with a java bean you will have full control of the exchange and be able to react in a controlled way within the application.

Hi Michael ,
I guess this is the proper way to do it as you mentioned. I definitely will review this and see if I can use it.
Sorry for being so persistent, but can you confirm my last thought? Client/Forms sends(Always,even if some key is not defined in resource file) keys typed by user as they defined in java awt key event, without knowing anything about resource file?
Thank you again

Selenose provides a set of Selenium related plugins for nose developed by ShiningPanda:
- Selenium Server Plugin starts a Selenium Server before running tests, and stops it at the end of the tests.
- Selenium Driver Plugin provides a Selenium WebDriver to the tests.
The use of these plugins is detailed bellow, but let's have a look on the installation process first.
On most UNIX-like systems, you'll probably need to run these commands as root or using sudo.
Install selenose using setuptools/distribute:

"Going to this school was the biggest mistakeApr 25 2012Art & Design Department
I entered this school fresh out of high school. I was so excited...art was my passion and what I loved to do more than anything.
The first year wasn't too bad, but it rapidly went downhill.
The school is so focused on constant negativity. I didn't expect to be babied, but to have things I spent a lot of time on made fun of in class with the teacher's approval was horrible.
Once a year, you will have to take all your work in front of a review committee. This is a group of about four teachers who will look at everything you've done and tear you to shreds. Expect to see many heartbroken students that day.
I finally left the school when a teacher I thought highly of (and also happened to be the head of my major) humiliated me in front of the class.
If you go here, the real way to succeed is to become "buddy/buddy" with the teachers. If they don't like a certain style or media, don't do it even if it's what you're best at. If you're quiet and shy like me, don't go here...you will simply get walked over, ignored, set up to fail, and ridiculed.
I am a big believer in constructive criticism, but that is not what I received here. It was like being in high school gym class again, but even worse because this was something I actually cared about.After leaving this school, it took me two years to pick up a pencil to draw again. It's taken me five years to regain my love for art. I am still trying to heal from the horrible experience I had at this school.

As three City Council members shared a bipartisan proposal for new regulations for home elevations in Hurricane Sandy-affected areas on Wednesday, Sen. Charles Schumer said that the state is fighting for a second round of federal funds for long-term solutions to prevent storm damage.
City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, a Democrat, was joined at City Hall by two Staten Island Republicans — Councilmen Vincent Ignizio and James Oddo — to announce the bill they will introduce next week will make sure any home elevation work is supervised by a special inspector.
The Department Of Buildings would also be alerted 48 hours before a building is elevated, so that DOB officials could monitor the work.
"We want to make sure that the elevation work is done safely and appropriately. Elevating a home is simply not lifting a house and putting it on stilts," Quinn said. "It's a complex process and proper measures have to be taken before and during the work to make sure it's done in the safest way possible."
Ignizio and Oddo had a fact-finding mission in New Orleans last month, where they were advised by Louisiana officials to create laws to prevent shoddy elevation work, like what occurred on the Gulf Coast following Hurricane Katrina.
The councilmen took a picture of a house in Louisiana that was placed on tall stilts but did not have a staircase.
"Make sure you have a process in place and you have licensed people doing it. Because what you had in New Orleans was you had people come from all over the country," Ignizio said. "It was your classic story of, 'Hey this guy said he would raise your house for $50,000? I'll do it for 20 grand, just give me the 20 grand, I'll take care of it.' And they would do a terrible job."
On Wednesday morning, Sen. Charles Schumer discussed inside politics involved in getting Congress to authorize federal aid for Sandy relief last month at a breakfast at the Conrad Hotel in the Battery Park section of Manhattan, run by the Association for a Better New York.
The senator said that New Yorkers should prepare to fight for a second round of federal recovery funds to enact longer-term strategies to prevent a future Sandy-type storm from inflicting the same sort of damage.
He said the money will make rebuilding possible, but rising global temperatures mean future storms like Sandy are a fact of life that the city needs to prepare for.
"All of the Sandy funding is a great first step. However, it's the equivalent of a budgetary one-shot," Schumer said. "And as we move forward with short-term mitigation, the kind of mitigation I mentioned, we need simultaneously to focus on phase two. A long-term plan to protect New York from future storms, weather related disasters, and what we know will happen, the rising level of the ocean, which is occurring much more quickly than we ever imagined."
Schumer said the Army Corps of Engineers has started its $20 million assessment of coastal areas damaged by Sandy, which he wants to see completed in 18 months.
Their findings will shape the measures taken to protect the city from future storms.
City Sanitation Commissioner John Doherty announced Wednesday that storm debris cleanup in areas of Staten Island, Queens and Brooklyn affected by Hurricane Sandy is ending on March 18.
Sanitation officials estimate that city crews have collected more than 415,000 tons of storm debris.
They also say that crews are only picking up 10 bulky items at each home and wood must be shorter than four feet in length and bound in order to be collected.
Crews are also not picking up construction debris or rubble from large demolition projects.

text: Please don't talk about the creation of Balanced Hackmons UU, RU, NU, etc.; it's not happening. What? Balanced Hackmons is a new tier that throws out many conventional rules of standard competitive pokemon battling in order to create an entirely new experience. The basic premise is, "Anything goes". You can use any pokemon with any move with any item with 252 ev's in every stat. Also worth noting is that there is no team preview (making leads once more important) and that there are no clauses, the only things banned are Wonder Guard, Pure/Huge Power, OHKO moves, and Arena Trap/Shadow Tag. Since everyone gets everything many pokemon (here's looking at you Breloom) that managed to make it into the upper echelons of competitive pokemon through their access to rare abilities and moves are suddenly left behind in favor of pokemon with better stats and better typing. This allows pokemon that were saddled with a horrendously empty movepool or debilitating abilities to finally have a chance to shine (most notably, Slaking, although his usage has decreased with the Pure/Huge Power ban). Where? Balanced Hackmons is currently hosted on Aesoft's online competitive pokemon simulator Pokemon Showdown. Metagame Analysis As hackmons has less determining factors (only base stats and typing are relevent) than any other metagame, the few determining factors mean that it is much easier to determine which pokemon is "best" in its particular field and as a result, very few pokemon are truly usable in Hackmons (think ubers insofar as # of viable pokemon is concerned). Because of this, the variety in Hackmons comes less from what pokemon you use and more from what abilities and items you use on them. Because of the ability to run 252 ev's in every stat, many pokemon become much bulkier than they used to be in their older games and thus the metagame is heavily focused on bulky offense. Conclusion Here's hoping that through this page, hackmons has become a little less alien and a lot more exciting for many. In the vein of Theorymon's streetmons thread feel free to post sets that you have used or faced, keeping in mind to not post a set until you have tried it out or seen it in an actual Hackmons battle. Most importantly, have fun!

Stop bashing the 'uncool' Avis-Zipcar dealJanuary 3, 2013: 10:33 AM ET
Knee-jerk criticism of the Avis-Zipcar deal is misplaced.
FORTUNE -- There seemed to be a lot of Silicon Valley hand-wringing yesterday over yesterday's announcement that Avis Budget Group (CAR) plans to buy car-sharing service Zipcar (ZIP), with some suggesting that this will lead to the needless destruction of a successful "tech disruptor."
Let's leave aside, for a moment, that Zipcar isn't really a tech company. Or that it's not based in Silicon Valley. Or that its profits are nothing to write home about.
Instead, let's focus on what really seems to be the underlying issue: Zipcar can no longer be "cool" if owned by a staid incumbent like Avis Budget Group.
Look, I understand that acquisitions often don't work. Sometimes it's because of culture clashes. Sometimes it's the result of a big fish in a small pond being transformed into a small fish in a big pond (and the resource allocations that come along with it – or don't). Sometimes the expected synergies just don't come to fruition. And this may prove to be one of those unsuccessful deals.
MORE: VCs to score big on Zipcar sale
But bashing the deal based on "coolness" is absurd. People ultimately use most products or services because of usefulness, effectiveness, etc. Cool may get a certain demographic in the door, but it's not why they stay. Moreover, "cool" disappears over time.
Don't believe me? Just check out this list of music albums that turn 20 this year. I remember feeling quite cool blasting my In Utero cassette in 1993. Would I still? Probably not – and it has nothing to do with selling out.
The intrinsic value of disruptive technology should be in its ability to improve the lives of users, not in its ability to eat into an incumbent's market share. That's what's really "cool." And sometimes a deal like Avis-Zipcar reflects mainstream adoption of that improvement, rather than an attempt to turn back the clock.

Firefighters. Police. Ghostbusters. Your mom. There are certain people you instinctively contact when you need assistance and the same holds true for the federal government. When the Department of Education noticed there was something strange in the neighborhood regarding federal student aid, they knew just who to call.
Less than a month after releasing a report detailing how organized fraud rings were exploiting distance education programs, the ED contacted colleges across the country urging them to develop additional ways of identifying threats to federal funding. Schools were encouraged to combat potential fraud rings by monitoring groups of students using the same IP or email addresses to apply and participate in online programs, paying closer attention to students living outside the schools' normal coverage areas and delaying the disbursement of federal funds or releasing said funds in multiple disbursements. In addition to the steps colleges are taking internally, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan said the department will be working with Congress and schools "to ensure we have all the tools we need to prevent criminal elements from defrauding federal student aid dollars."
Do you think colleges are doing enough to prevent federal student aid fraud?

Thinking about applying to one of the University of California's 10 campuses as a freshman for the 2012-2013 school year? If so, read the admissions requirements carefully, lest a change intended to ease your college-related stress levels send them sky high instead.
As standardized tests go, all UC campuses call for freshman applicants to submit scores from the SAT and ACT but have eliminated supplemental SAT subject exams from the list of admissions requirements. Though many students are breathing sighs of relief that they do not have to prepare for, take and afford another exam, others are still signing up for the subject tests in droves because they think it will boost their chances for admission. UC officials say students who do not take the tests will not be penalized but those who do and score well will be viewed in the same positive light as someone, say, with a leadership role in a school club would be. This explanation – plus the fact that specific programs like engineering and science do recommend subject tests – has left students and counselors understandably confused.
You can read more reactions from both sides here but as the November 30th application deadline draws closer, we have to wonder where our readers stand. If your dream school did not require you to take supplemental exams, would you follow the rules or still take the exams and hope doing so would give you a leg up on your competition and why?

If you're a prospective college student considering a career in engineering, architecture or art, Cooper Union is probably on your radar. Not only is the school among the most selective in the nation but the tuition – zero – has been the best deal in higher ed for more than a century...or it was.
Cooper Union President Jamshed Bharucha recently announced that the weak economy has prompted the school to reevaluate its scholarship policy and possibly begin charging tuition for the first time since 1902. Bharucha stressed that lower-income students and many middle-income ones would continue to attend for free and that none of the 900 current undergraduates would be charged but the mere mention of tuition for degree-seeking students marks a serious cultural shift for the institution: Though a final decision has yet to be made, alumni are furious – "It's a contradiction to everything we've learned about Cooper. It's the last opportunity for free education on that level in the entire country," said graphic designer, New York magazine co-founder and Cooper Union graduate Milton Glaser – and students are planning to walk out of classes in protest tomorrow.
Bharucha did say that implementing tuition would be a last resort but what do you think of his announcement and its corresponding reaction? What avenues should be explored to preserve free tuition and are there any ways students and alumni can support or contribute to the cause? Lastly, does a potential tuition bill have you reconsidering applying to Cooper Union?

So you took the standardized tests, filled out the application, wrote the essay and secured the appropriate transcripts and letters of recommendation well in advance in order to apply to your first-choice school early. Nice work – it's just too bad Mother Nature had other plans.
The late October storm that hit the Northeast knocked out electricity, Internet access and, for some students, hopes of getting their early decision and early action applications submitted on time. Thankfully, many institutions have extended these deadlines beyond the traditional November 1st cutoff and NACAC has posted those schools, administrative contacts and new early application dates on its website. Though most are in the Northeast, schools located as far west as California, Oregon and Arizona and as far south as Texas, Tennessee and Kentucky have joined the cause to ensure all interested students have time to apply.
NACAC does note that the list may not be comprehensive and is inviting colleges and universities to update their application dates if they have changed. Conversely, students should contact the schools they are interested in applying to for any admissions updates. Good luck, everyone!
November 15, 2011
Teens may be excited about "Breaking Dawn: Part 1" and "The Hunger Games" but it appears applying to college early is just as trendy.
Though the numbers are still being tallied, Duke, Brown, Northwestern and Johns Hopkins are all estimating sizeable increases in the amount of early applications received but they aren't alone: The University of Virginia and Princeton – two schools which reinstated their early admissions programs this year – have their respective hands full with applicants as well. Also of note is the heightened availability of ED II, a second round of early decision with a January deadline, for students who applied to one school using the binding application option and were rejected or deferred. And with these elevated application numbers comes an expected increase in both acceptance rates and financial aid offerings, something students and their parents will both appreciate.
What do you think of these application trends? Did you apply early or do you plan to apply during regular admission and why?
December 13, 2011
As regular admissions deadlines draw closer, high school students are putting the finishing touches on their college application packets and preparing to send their materials off to their schools of choice. As they sit down to write their admissions essays, however, they are increasingly surprised: Traditional essay questions like "Why this school?" and "What is your greatest achievement?" are disappearing in favor of quirkier prompts and quicker responses.
In a recent Chicago Tribune article, both students and educators weighed in on the increased emphasis on brevity (we're talking responses of 25 words or fewer) and creativity (schools like the University of Dayton, George Mason and Tufts now accept video essays). While some are definitely in favor – "It allows colleges to learn things they may not get from a transcript and a resume," said Katherine Cohen, a college consultant and founder of IvyWise.com – others, like Barmak Nassirian of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers, are less than pleased: "It just reinforces that there's some secret code that needs to be cracked to gain admission," he said. Here are just a few of the more interesting prompts seen on college applications during this admissions cycle:
What do you think of this admissions shift? Would you rather write 250 words or 25? What has been the strangest essay prompt you've encountered on college application thus far?

Not-so-breaking news: College is expensive and the costs associated with it show no sign of stopping their steady climb. What's a college hopeful to do? Consider a school that's finding ways to bridge the financial gap, like UC Berkeley.
Beginning next fall, Berkeley will amp up its financial aid contributions for middle-class students. School officials reported that while the number of low-income and wealthy students has increased over the last several years, the number from middle-class families has remained flat. Berkeley hopes to regain the interest of middle-class applicants by becoming the first public university to promise families earning between $80,000 and $140,000 a year will contribute no more than 15 percent of their annual incomes toward tuition.
This news – released just one day after Gov. Jerry Brown announced a $2.2 billion budget shortfall and another severe round of cuts to state colleges and universities – has already been dubbed a game changer by Terry W. Hartle: The senior vice president of the American Council on Education also believes other colleges will channel their competitive spirits and do whatever they can to offer similar programs. Learn more about Berkeley's plan here then tell us what you think.

Show of hands, students: How many of you have previously taken, are currently enrolled in or are considering signing up for an Advanced Placement course? That's a lot of you...but how many of you chose the AP path because you felt as though you had to in order to remain competitive in the college admissions process? Iiiiiinteresting...
With college hopefuls taking on so many AP classes that they have barely any time for non-academics, some schools in the San Francisco Bay area are pushing for a cap on the number of Advanced Placement courses a student can take or even eliminating them entirely. Though some teachers and administrators feel it would be a welcome change that would allow more freedom in the curriculum, parents and students do not share this mindset: They view any AP limits or bans as disadvantages when college application time rolls around, despite competitive schools like Stanford assuring applicants "We want to be clear that this is not a case of 'whoever has the most APs wins.'" Other educators think the caps are a bad idea, stating that not only will students feel less challenged but that limiting the number of AP classes could result in staffing cuts, as schools offering more APs are able to hire more teachers.
Research does show students who take AP courses do better in college than students who don't but is it worth the stress placed upon students by parents, teachers, colleges and even their peers to take and excel in these courses? Do you think students should be able to decide what their own workload should be if it means the AP credits earned will help them graduate from college early and save thousands on tuition? What side are you on in the AP debate?
January 11, 2012
As soon as high school students drop their college applications in the mail or send them hurtling through cyberspace, they breathe sighs of relief thinking the hardest part of the application process is over. Not so much for college admissions officers, whose challenges are just beginning: They must review each and every transcript, essay, standardized test score and extracurricular to select the right mix of students to attend their institutions. It can take a lot of resources – there are quite literally thousands of applications to evaluate – so it's about time an app was created to streamline the process.
Matchbox has developed an iPad app to speed up the review of college applications without compromising the savvy judgment admissions officers are known for. Founder and CEO Stephen Marcus created the first incarnation of the Matchbox app as a member of the admissions committee at the MIT Sloan School of Management. At that time, Marcus said it would take 30 to 60 minutes to read one application but with the Matchbox app, that same process is two to three times faster. "I'm able to save a lot of time when I'm reading applications now," said Jennifer Barba, associate director of admissions at the Sloan School. "Before I would have to write out all of that evidence on the handwritten scorecard. Now I can just tap it with my finger, highlight it, assign a category, and it's done."
Do you think this kind of technology is good or bad for the college application evaluation process? Let us know why in the comments or via Facebook and Twitter!

When quality and quantity go head to head, it's the former that usually prevails. Given the University System of Georgia's latest announcement, it appears such is the case in higher education as well.
The system's board of regents recently approved a plan to consolidate eight of the 35 state colleges and universities – Gainesville State College and North Georgia College & State University; Middle Georgia College and Macon State College; Waycross College and South Georgia College; and Augusta State University and Georgia Health Sciences University – into four schools. Spokesman John Millsaps revealed that though the consolidations were brought about by the fledgling economy, the plan was devised with the students in mind: Combining the schools will provide greater access to more classes, degree programs, educators and resources and remove bureaucratic hurdles like transferring credits between institutions.
Are you attending or considering attending one of the institutions to be consolidated? If so, how does this news impact your college career?

DOT Seeking Proposals to Jump-Start New Air Service
Now in its sixth year, the program has changed with the agency applying stricter criteria in making the grant awards.
For the second consecutive year, the Small Community Air Service Development Program is alive despite efforts by the Bush administration to kill this grant program. And for the second consecutive year, the program will only award $10 million in grants instead of $20 million as it had in earlier years.
The Department of Transportation (DOT) is now soliciting community proposals for the grants that are designed to improve air service to those small air hubs or those airports without any commercial service. The application deadline is April 27. The grants are traditionally awarded in late summer. (See the list of last year's award winners.)
Now in its sixth year, the program has changed with the agency applying stricter criteria in making the grant awards.
First the basics: No more than 40 grants will be awarded; no more than four projects can be selected from the same state and no current grant winner can apply. (See the rules as well as other DOT information on the program.)
One of the founding goals of the program was to reduce high airfares. In at least two cases, grants were awarded to cities that underwrote new low-fare carriers in direct competition with legacy airlines. No more.
Both United and Delta have objected to these grants. "The DOT doesn't want to fight with the airlines," says Michael Boyd, of The Boyd Group. His consulting firm has assisted communities in applying for the grants and then implementing their air service development programs. In the last grant round, the firm's clients won about one-third of the grants.
In the past, Boyd helped Sarasota and Fresno win grants that attracted AirTran and Frontier. "United cried foul. That won't happen again."
The scope of the program has changed so that Boyd now predicts that less than 60 communities will apply.
Last year there were 75 grant applications filed from 37 states collectively seeking $32 million. Only four of the 75 applications were from communities that had never previously applied to the program. In the class of 2006, there were 18 applications that failed to meet the basic selection criteria -- 16 of these because they were currently participating in an earlier round of funding or have found another source of funds.
"We have warned our clients that what worked in the past won't work in the future," Boyd explains.
"So going forward you have to be very careful that you submit something that is definable, that is measurable, and in front of a court of law, well almost, you can defend it as improving air service. Whatever you do, don't ask to do something different."
While Congress has rescued the program in the last two budget rounds, Boyd says Congress would like to end the program. "Congress has given DOT a mandate: You will fund EAS. Today, DOT is under pressure to use the money basically for EAS."
Congress has cut the program by $10 million in the last two budgets to provide more funds for the Essential Air Service program.
No fan of EAS, Boyd calls it "a mess," with the government funding empty planes flying between EAS city-pairs.
The Small Community program has settled into a pattern. The grant money is used either for marketing or airline subsidies. A number of early grants were for surveys, but fewer in recent years. DOT has "come to the conclusion the studies are just a waste of money spent trying to illuminate the obvious," Boyd notes.
Any community preparing a grant application needs to come to table with cash to match the federal dollars. Unlike some federal programs that mandate specific local contribution ratios, this one does not. The rules don't provide any guidelines.
However, Boyd cautions that communities should not promise a local match via ticket banks or travel pledges. DOT has found that these promises to buy a specified number of tickets on a new carrier fail to fully materialize once an airline starts flying.
"Use of these words will send applications to the round file," Boyd notes.
