NATFA: a good or bad deal?

Re: Mulroney and the truth about free trade, Feb. 21
Mulroney and the truth about free trade, Feb. 21
I was hoping for a Star comment on the real repercussions of the 1987 Canada-U.S. free trade deal and was delighted to see Bob Hepburn's column off-set the toasts and accolades taking place at the Rotman School of Business. Kudos to Jim Stanford of the CAW for his honesty as well.
I remember ex-PM Pierre Trudeau stepping out of retirement at the time to speak on national television and ominously warning us that the agreement, as it stood, was not good enough for Canada. The economists and free trade experts stated the damage might not be seen immediately but would show itself down the road. How true.
A huge issue with no public referendum — then in November 1988, when the dust had settled, an election. Canadians handed Brian Mulroney and his Big Business Tories a majority. Go figure. It seems few were paying attention then — and again in May 2011.
Lynne J. Boccaccio, Toronto
I own a small import and export business. We sell to retail stores in Canada and wholesalers in the United States. All of my competitors — also import and export businesses — are based in the U.S. My competitors all offer free shipping to American wholesalers, so I need to offer the same deal. But because my goods have to travel farther and cross the border, my shipping costs are about three times higher than those of my competitors.
If we didn't have a free trade agreement, I would also have to pay duties, making my products so uncompetitive that my U.S. sales would disappear and my company would probably have to shut down.
I may only employ eight people, but there are thousands of companies like mine — employing hundreds of thousands of Canadians — that simply could not survive without the free trade agreement.
Jason Shron, Markham

Latest Sean O'Hair Stories
INNISBROOK, Fla., March 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The Transitions Championship, in only its third year, today announced a field with 25 of the top 60 players according to the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), including #1 Martin Kaymer making his Transitions Championship debut and 2010 Transitions Championship winner and Player of the Year, Jim Furyk.
LEMONT, Ill., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Sean O'Hair scored a hole-in-one today during the third round of the BMW Championship, the third leg in the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup.
Phil Mickelson came from behind Sunday to win Tour Championship and Tiger Woods, who was second, got a $10 million prize for winning the FedEx Cup points race. Mickelson shot a 5-under-par 65 for 9-under 271 and a three-shot spread over Woods, a six-time winner in 2009 who closed with a 70, good enough for his second FedEx Cup win in three years. The title was Mickelson's 37th on the PGA Tour and third this year.
Kenny Perry shot a 6-under 64 Saturday to move past second-round leader Tiger Woods and take the third-round lead of The Tour Championship. Perry finished 54 holes at 8-under 202. He is two strokes ahead of Woods, who had a 69 on Saturday, in the final event of the FedEx Cup playoffs.
Sean O'Hair took a large step toward capturing the FedEx Cup Thursday by grabbing a one-shot lead after 18 holes at the Tour Championship. O'Hair shot a 4-under 66 at the East Lake Golf Club, but found Tiger Woods, Padraig Harrington and Stewart Cink one shot back in the last of the PGA Tour's playoff events.
Tiger Woods won the 71st title of his PGA career Sunday -- an eight-shot victory in the BMW Championship in Illinois. Woods, who led by seven going into the final round, shot a 3-under-par 68 for an overall score of 19-under 265. Jim Furyk (66) and Marc Leishman (69) tied for second at 273.
Steve Stricker, who eagled the final hole, Retief Goosen and Sean O'Hair shared the third-round lead Sunday in the Deutsche Bank Championship in Massachusetts. The three were at 13-under-par 200 at the TPC Boston. Stricker rolled in a 5-foot eagle putt on the last hole and finished with a 6-under 65.
Jim Furyk and Sean O'Hair shared the lead Saturday after two rounds of the PGA's Deutsche Bank Championship. Furyk, who shared the first-round lead with Steve Stricker, shot a four-under 67 Saturday to match O'Hair, who had a 64 Saturday at 12-under-par 130 after 36 holes. Marc Leishman, who shot 62 Saturday to come within one stroke of the course record, is tied for third with Retief Goosen (67) at 10-under 132. World No.
Lucas Glover, winner of a lone PGA Tour event, emerged from a marathon of golf Friday with a one-shot lead early in the second round of the U.S.

Wood boring bugs
Hello, is there any product in US that takes care of tiny wood boring bugs? I cannot see the bugs but thare is wood powder in some areas inside one of the dressers. The furniture I am trying to restore are more than 100 years old. Back to my Country we have these product and it is common practice to treat old furniture with that but I cannot find any equivalent product in US. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance
Milele (from EU)
Solutions will vary by state. Fumigation is the most certain way of killing the bugs, but is nearly impossible to have done in some places (like Massachusetts). Borate-containing products are the ones most widely recommended and available (Bora-Care is one brand name). With a piece of furniture you can inject it into the holes using a syringe and hope that it will permeate the wood to reach the bugs that are left inside (the hole is left when the insect bores its way out and leaves). You can also paint it on any unfinished surfaces.
I'd be very leery of bringing infested wood into my house, so would first look into having the piece fumigated.

Martial law has brought calm but not peace to Thailand's febrile politics. The military regime's stifling of dissent precludes a frank dialogue on the kingdom's future and could lead to greater turmoil than that which brought about the May 2014 coup.
02 March 2015
Military government facing greater international opprobrium and domestic dissent than since immediate aftermath of May 2014 coup. Speaking to media during visit to Japan early Feb, PM Prayuth repeat ...
The highly volatile situation in Myanmar's Rakhine State adds dangerously to the country's political and religious tensions. Long-term, incremental solutions are critical for the future of Rakhine State and the country as a whole.
It was Myanmar's military that initiated the end of its own dictatorship; to advance stable reform, it needs to continue withdrawing from civilian life.
Unless there is an effective government response and change in societal attitudes, violence against Myanmar's Muslim communities could spread, jeopardising the country's transition as well as its standing in the region and beyond.
The Philippines has had some recent success in winding down decades-long negotiations with rebel groups, but achieving peace with the country's biggest insurgency, in Mindanao, requires both new energy and fresh thinking.
The deal that has now been struck between the Myanmar government and the Kachin armed group is a major step forward, but securing a sustainable peace will require much more work.
Although swelling oil and gas revenues have bought Timor-Leste peace, political empowerment, security reforms and fiscal caution are needed to ensure stability can outlast the boom.
A dispute over a flag in Aceh is testing the limits of autonomy, irritating Indonesia's central government, heightening ethnic tensions, reviving a campaign for the division of the province and raising fears of violence as the 2014 national elections approach.

The Big Three publishers give the new IAB standards for in-page rich media the thumbs-up.
The Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) this week updated its rich media guidelines for in-page units, a long-awaited move backed by industry heavyweights America Online, MSN and Yahoo.
In addition to the Big Three, some 30 other players have committed to the new voluntary rich media guidelines (Version 2.0). The changes mostly involve adjustments to file sizes and also state the standards more simply. The update only applies to in-page ad units, however. For out-of-page, interstitial, over-the-page, and expandable units, the IAB is recommending companies stick to the guidelines issued in 2001 until it's able to develop new ones.
"The most important thing here is that AOL, MSN and Yahoo are on board," said Nate Elliott, who chaired the IAB rich media task force that wrote the original standards in 2001. Elliott is now an associate analyst with Jupiter Research, which shares a parent company with this publication.
"The IAB doesn't have the authority to enforce these standards. But with the Big Three on board, the rest [of the publishers] will probably fall in line," Elliott said.
According to the IAB, more than 30 industry players representing 65 percent of total advertising inventory are, or plan to be, in compliance with the new release. Beside the Big Three, publishers including About.com, CBS Marketwatch, DoubleClick, iVillage, Terra Lycos, Walt Disney Internet Group and USA Today have given the guidelines the nod.
When the IAB released the original rich media guidelines in 2001, the association said an update would follow in six months to a year. Instead, it's taken two-and-a-half years, and only half the guidelines have been updated.
Calls to the IAB were not returned by press time.
Mostly, the changes involve file size standards. In many cases the weights have been adjusted upward, perhaps reflecting the increasing penetration of broadband, which allows larger file sizes to be viewed more easily.
The standards are also stated more simply, a change lauded by Elliott and a spokesman for rich media platform vendor Eyeblaster. Paul Kadin, Eyeblaster's executive VP for marketing and strategy, serves on the task force.
"Rich media can be difficult and complex to deploy. Making the standards easier to understand helps enable people to get into rich media," said Corey Kronengold of Eyeblaster. Kronengold concurred that getting the Big Three on board will encourage application of the standards.
The IAB's Rich Media Task Force was chaired by David Shen, VP international products for Yahoo "It is gratifying that as an industry we have developed ... recommended guidelines that will enable buyers to build in-page rich media ads to a common set of specifications," Shen said in a statement.

Notice from the Consular Section
The U.S. Consulate in Guayaquil is not reducing or closing consular services, despite persistent rumors to the contrary – in fact, our consular services continue to expand to meet growing demand. Due to the high demand for tourist/business visas, appointment wait times at the U.S. Consulate in Guayaquil have consistently been one month. We are actively taking steps to meet this increased demand, including increasing the number of interviewing officers. However, for the time being, we remind customers that all applicants, regardless of where they live, who are applying for tourist/business visas may also apply at the U.S. Embassy in Quito, where current wait times for tourist/business visas at the U.S. Embassy in Quito are under one week.
Nonimmigrant visa applicants can find appointment wait times for Quito and Guayaquil here. U.S. citizens must schedule appointments for passport services, Consular Reports of Birth Abroad, and notarial services through the Embassy's and Consulate's respective webpages.

ECU 911 is an integrated emergency response service throughout Ecuador. By simply dialing 911, American citizens are able to reach the police, fire department, ambulance, and other services. ECU 911 has operators who speak English and Spanish.

i have the following directories:
if i have a class that is a client stub to a server side service that changes state on a server system, where would that go . .
this code belongs in the recycle bin ;-)
seriously, if you wrote it and don't know where it goes, then either the code is questionable or your partitioning is questionable; how are we supposed to have more information about your system than you have?
now if you just want some uninformed opinions, those we've got by the petabyte:
it would be more helpful if you told us what the stub actually does; without specifics it is hard to know where it belongs, and/or it is easy to argue in a vacuum about where it "should" belong
I would consider this a form of data access, although it's not clear to me that you need to put it in the same project as the rest of your data access classes. Remember that the layers are mainly conceptual -- to help you keep your design clean. Separating them into different projects helps organizationally, but is not mandatory. If it's an actual stub class, then the data access project is probably the natural home for it, but if it's only used in the UI layer, then keeping it there would probably be ok.
I don't think it belongs in any of those. You either need a new directory or a new project entirely. But out of those given, I would have to say BusinessObjects because it's certainly not accessing data according to your description, and rather is simply acting like a local object (stub).

Kid-friendly Cheesy Black Bean Quesadillas
Yield: Makes 4 quesadillas
These ingredients are:
Vegetarian Egg-free Tree nut-free
Here is a perfect example of the fact that the simplest foods can be so very satisfying. The premise of this dish starts with melted cheese, healthy black beans and fresh salsa tucked between two buttery, crisp tortillas. From there you may spark them up in any number of ways.
- 1 cup chopped tomato Add to list
- 1 green onion, chopped Add to list
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro Add to list
- 1 tablespoon lime juice Add to list
- 1/2 cup cooked black beans Add to list
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Add to list
- Hot sauce to taste Add to list
- Softened butter or vegetable oil Add to list
- 8 whole wheat, corn or sprouted corn tortillas Add to list
- 8 ounces Monterey Jack or Cotija, grated Add to list
Combine tomatoes, green onion, cilantro, lime juice, black beans, salt and hot sauce in a bowl.
To assemble and cook a quesadilla, brush softened butter or vegetable oil on one side of two tortillas. Place one tortilla butter-side down in a 10-inch or larger skillet over medium heat. Spread one quarter of the cheese on top of tortilla and top with a generous spoonful of black bean mixture (and any other ingredients you may want to use). Place the other tortilla, butter side up, on top of all this.
Cook until the bottom tortilla is nice and golden brown. Using a pancake turner, carefully turn the quesadilla over and cook until golden brown. Repeat process 3 more times with remaining tortillas and filling. Hint: Keep the quesadillas warm in a 200° F oven until they are all finished.
To serve, cut each quesadilla into 6 or 8 wedges and serve any extra salsa on the side.
Variations: Try layering grilled chicken breast, baby shrimp, black olives, pumpkin seeds, guacamole or roasted peppers into your quesadilla.

Journalists say rights are ignored
WASHINGTON — First, there was the news that the Justice Department had secretly seized telephone records of reporters at The Associated Press.
Reports later surfaced that the department had investigated a Fox News journalist as a potential criminal for doing his job.
Those actions by President Obama's administration are part of an unprecedented crackdown on classified national security leaks.
And that has led journalists, First Amendment scholars and groups that advocate for government transparency to question how much the White House values a free press.
"The scope of this action calls into question the very integrity of Department of Justice policies toward the press and its ability to balance, on its own, its police powers against the First Amendment rights of the news media and the public's interest in reporting on all manner of government conduct," according to a recent letter to Attorney General Eric Holder from 52 media organizations, including McClatchy.
Obama said he is trying to strike a balance between the media's First Amendment protections against government censorship and national security interests.
But his administration has aggressively prosecuted whistle-blowers under the 1917 Espionage Act.

An electronic display such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) is disclosed. The display includes a substrate layer, a light source and a lightguide for directing light emitted from the light source into the display, wherein the lightguide is integrally formed with the substrate layer. A mobile telecommunications device incorporating the display according to the invention is also disclosed. As the lightguide and substrate layer are formed together, the display is thinner than known displays so the telecommunications device can be made smaller or more space provided for other components.

a substrate layer;
a light source; and
a lightguide to direct light emitted from the light source into the display,
wherein the lightguide is integrally formed with the substrate layer.

[0001] The present invention relates to electronic displays such as liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and more specifically to thin film LCDs made from plastic. The invention also applies to any type of electronic display that requires a frontlight. For example, other types of LCD's including cholesteric, electrophoretic, passive TN and STN type LCDs with internal polarisers and active LCDs with internal polarisers. Another type of electronic display to which the invention may also apply is Interference Modulation (IMOD) displays which is made up of many thin film very small reflecting elements which can be moved to generate optical interference. The invention may also apply to saturated particle displays, electrochrornic displays, electrophoretic and rotating ball displays. The present invention also relates to a mobile telecommunications device, such as a mobile telephone, incorporating an electronic display according to the invention.
[0002] LCDs are well known and generally comprise a digital or alphanumeric display consisting of liquid crystal material sealed between two supporting sheets of plastic or glass. A thin transparent film of conductive material such as a transparent metal oxide film is applied to the surface of each supporting sheet facing the liquid crystal material and the conductive film on one sheet is etched into character forming segments, each having electrical leads extending towards the edge of the sheet for connection to driving circuitry, which controls the voltage applied to various areas of the display, and a power supply such as a battery. A polarising filter sandwiched between two transparent substrate layers is also disposed on the outer surface of each supporting sheet with their planes of polarisation oriented at right angles to each other.
[0003] The most common LCD is called a twisted nematic (TN) display. Another type of LCD is called super twisted nematic (STN) display. Both types employ a nematic liquid crystal. A polymer alignment layer is applied to the conductive film on each supporting sheet facing the nematic liquid crystal and is rubbed to create a series of parallel microscopic grooves in the surface of the film which are oriented in the same direction as the plane of polarisation of the polarising filter disposed on each supporting sheet. These grooves ensure that the first layer of molecules of the liquid crystal are aligned with their longitudinal axes parallel to the grooves. Each successive layer of molecules gradually twists until the furthest layer is at an angle (90 degrees in twisted nematic displays) to the first layer and so that the outermost molecules contacting each supporting sheet are matched with the plane of polarisation of the polarisation filters on that sheet. The LCD also includes a sheet of reflective material on its back surface.
[0004] When there is no voltage applied between the conductive films, light striking one of the polarisation filters is polarised and the successive layers of molecules guides the polarised light they receive to the next molecular layer. When the polarised light has transversed the liquid crystal and guided through an angle of 90 degrees, it passes through the second polarising filter and is subsequently reflected back off the reflective surface placed behind it. The reflected light is guided back through the crystal along the same path and emerges in the same place that it struck the first polarisation filter. When an electric charge is applied to a region of the liquid crystal molecules, the orderly twisted arrangement of the molecules in that region is disrupted and the molecules untwist. This changes the angle of the light passing through them so that it no longer matches the angle of the polarising filter preventing the light from passing back out of that region of the LCD, making it darker than the surrounding areas. The region to which a voltage is applied is normally one or more of the character forming segments or pixels. By applying current to different character forming segments or pixels simultaneously, a recognisable character or numeral can be generated.
[0005] The polarising filter is formed from a chemical compound composed of molecules that naturally align in parallel relation to one another so that they create a microscopic filter that blocks any light not matching their alignment. The light passing through the polarising filter between the substrate sheets is thereby polarised.
[0006] When the display is viewed in daylight, it can be illuminated using the available ambient light. However, at night or when the ambient light level is low, the display maybe illuminated by one or more light sources located around the periphery of a frontlight which is a planar sheet usually formed from plastic positioned above the display and comprising a lightguide having a number of parallel grooves etched in its upper surface to redirect light emitted by the light source toward the display. As the frontlight is a separate component from the display, a small air gap exists between them after assembly of the display and frontlight and so an anti-reflective coating is provided on its lower surface for reasons which will be described in more detail with reference to the prior art electronic display and frontlight illustrated in FIG. 1.
[0007] An exploded view of the main components of a prior art electronic display 1 and frontlight 8 is illustrated in FIG. 1 and it will be seen that the display 1 comprises an active layer, such as a liquid crystal layer 2, sandwiched between a pair of plastic optically non-birefringent front and rear supporting layers 3 a, 3 b. A thin transparent film (not shown) of conductive material is applied to the back surface of front supporting layer 3 a facing the liquid crystal layer 2 which is then etched to form character segments (not shown). A second transparent conductive film (not shown) is applied to the surface of the rear supporting 3 b facing the liquid crystal layer 2. Each film is treated with a polymer alignment layer (not shown) which is rubbed to form a series of parallel microscopic grooves. A polarising filter 4, 5 is then positioned over each of the plastic supporting layers 3 a, 3 b with their planes of polarisation oriented at right angles to each other and so that the plane of polarisation of each filter corresponds to the grooves formed in its adjacent supporting layer. A pair of substrate layers 6 a, 6 b and 7 a, 7 b sandwich each polarising filter 4, 5, respectively. A reflective layer (not shown) is also located on the back of the LCD behind polarising filter 5.
[0008] The frontlight 8 is located above the LCD 1 parallel to and spaced from the substrate layer 6 a on the polarising filter 4. As the frontlight 8 is a separate component to the display 1, a small air gap 9 will always be present between them even if the frontlight 8 is directly assembled on the display. The frontlight 8 comprises a light guide 10 formed from a transparent plastic sheet in which has been cut a series of spaced parallel grooves 11 in its upper surface 12 and an antireflective coating 13 disposed on its lower surface 14. A light source 15 is located adjacent to the periphery of the light guide 10. Light emitted by the light source 15 is directed toward the display 1 by the grooves 11 to illuminate it. The antireflective coating 13 is required because incoming light entering the frontlight in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 1 strikes the rear surface of the frontlight 8 and most of it is transmitted toward the display 1 in the direction of arrow B. However, some of the light is reflected in the direction shown by arrow C due to the differences in the refractive index between the material from which the frontlight 8 is made and the air through which the light must pass before it enters the display 1. This reflected light is �wasted� because it does not illuminate the display 1 which consequently appears darker. The reflected light also makes the display 1 harder to read. A second anti-reflective coating (not shown) may be provided on the top surface of the display 1 between the display 1 and the frontlight and/or on the upper surface 12 of the frontlight 8 to reduce reflection of light in the direction of arrow D and E respectively as shown in FIG. 1.
[0009] It is desirable to manufacture electronic displays and front lights which are as thin as possible so that they do not take up too much space in the housing of an electronic device in which they are used, especially when size constraints are important, as in the case of mobile telephones. If the electronic display and front light can be made thinner, a corresponding reduction in thickness of the mobile telephone housing can be realised or more space is made available for other components. It is also desirable to reduce manufacturing costs wherever possible without compromising the quality of the device.
[0010] The present invention seeks to provide an electronic display and front light having a reduced thickness and which is cheaper and easier to manufacture.
[0011] According to an aspect of the invention, there is provided an electronic display including:
[0012] a substrate layer;
[0013] a light source; and
[0014] a lightguide to direct light emitted from the light source into the display,
[0015] wherein the lightguide is integrally formed with the substrate layer.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the electronic display includes a polarising filter and the combined lightguide and substrate layer is disposed on said filter.
[0017] The polarising filter is, preferably, a chemical compound film.
[0018] Preferably, the substrate layer and lightguide are constructed from a single sheet of plastic film.
[0019] In a second preferred embodiment of the invention, the electronic display includes an active layer spaced from the polarising filter by a supporting layer which provides a common substrate for both the polarising filter and the active layer.
[0020] The active layer is preferably sandwiched between two polarising filters, the active layer being spaced from each polarising filter by a substrate layer which provides a common substrate for each polarising layer and the active layer.
[0021] The electronic display according to the invention may be a liquid crystal display (LCD).
[0022] The present invention also provides a telecommunications device incorporating the electronic display according to the invention.
[0023] The telecommunications device is preferably a mobile telephone.
[0024] Although the present invention is primarily described with reference to a twisted nematic display, it will be appreciated that the invention is also applicable to other types of display including super twisted nematics (STN), dual scam twisted nematics (DSTN), ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) and surface stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal (SSFLC).
[0025]FIG. 1 shows an side elevation of an electronic display according to the prior art;
[0026]FIG. 2 shows a side elevation of an electronic display according to the present invention;
[0027]FIG. 3 shows a side elevation of a second embodiment of an electronic display according to the invention; and
[0028]FIG. 4 shows a mobile telephone incorporating the electronic display shown in FIGS. 2 or 3.
[0029] Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to FIGS. 2 to 4 of the accompanying drawings.
[0030] An electronic display 16 according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. 2 from which it can be seen that it comprises an active layer, such as a liquid crystal layer 2 sandwiched between a pair of plastic optically non-birefringent front and rear supporting layers 3 a, 3 b. A polarising filter 4, 5 is positioned over each of the plastic supporting layers 3 a, 3 b, and a pair of substrate layers 7 a, 7 b sandwich polarising filter 5 as described with reference to the prior art arrangement shown in FIG. 1. However, in the embodiment of the invention, the substrate layer 6 b is present between the polarising filter 4 and the front supporting layer 3 a but substrate layer 6 a has been omitted. Instead, the lower surface 14 of the lightguide 17 has been directly mounted to the polarising filter 4. The invention therefore combines the substrate layer 6 a of the display and the lightguide 10 of the prior art to form an integrated single component. It will also be apparent that because the lightguide 10 and display 16 have been integrated, there is no longer an air gap and so no need for an anti-reflective coating on the lightguide 10 because there is no optical interface between the lightguide 10 and the display 16 which is required for reflection to occur.
[0031] The integral lightguide 10 and display 16 provides the advantage that the overall thickness of a standard display and separate frontlight is reduced and it is also cheaper and easier to manufacture as there is no longer a requirement for an antireflective coating.
[0032] A second embodiment of the present invention will now be described, with reference to FIG. 3. The electronic display of this embodiment is essentially the same as in the first embodiment described with reference to FIG. 2. However, the thickness of the display is further reduced by combining the substrate layer 6 b with the supporting layer 3 a and by combining the substrate layer 7 a with the supporting layer 3 b. More specifically, polarising filter 4 and the active layer 2 share a common substrate 18, and polarising filter 5 and the active layer 2 share a common substrate 19. As the two separate optically non birefringent plastic supporting layers 3 a, 3 b and substrate layers 6 b, 7 a are no longer required, the electronic display is cheaper to manufacture in addition to being thinner than an electronic display and combined lightguide according to the first embodiment or substantially thinner than a prior art electronic display.
[0033] A mobile telephone incorporating an electronic display according to the invention is illustrated in FIG. 4. The telephone 20 has a front and rear face 21, 22. The front face 21 is provided with a user interface having a keypad 23, a display 24 formed from the electronic display of the invention, an ear piece 25, a microphone 26 and an on/off key 27. The telephone 20 may be adapted for communication via a wireless telecommunications network, e.g. a cellular network. However, the telephone 20 could also be designed for a cordless network. The keypad 23 has a first group of keys 27 a which are alphanumeric and by means of which a use can enter a telephone number, write a text message (SMS) or write a name associated with a particular number, etc.
[0034] The keypad 23 additionally includes two soft keys 28, the functionality of which depends on the state of the telephone and the navigation in the menu by means of a navigation key 29, and two call handling keys 30, which can be used for establishing a call or a conference call, terminating a call or rejecting an incoming call.
[0035] Many modifications and variations of the invention falling within the terms of the following claims will be apparent to those skilled in the art and the foregoing description should be regarded as a description of the preferred embodiments only. For example, the electronic display of the invention may be installed in apparatus other than a mobile telephone, such as a personal digital assistant (PDA).

I changed my needle sizes to 3.75 for the ribbing and then4 mm for the body. It makes for a smaller glove that fits better
I am up to the point where you place the last remaining 18 stitches on a second holding needle. (and yes I have several purl rows showing where the increases were). At this point my yarn is at the end of the needle where the 18 stitches are. How do I get to back to the thumb section to begin the "work the thumb"? Do I pull it out of the other end of the yarn ball? Or am I supposed to just take it around (rs or ws) to where thumb is and continue.???? I almost want to put the thumb on the holding needle and do the sides first.
why can't I print the 2 hr fingerless gloves. When I click on print the instructions disappear and page becomes blank. Anyone else have this issue?
Pattern is definitely wrong as someone said below - it's missing some purl rows otherwise wouldn't be stockinette stitch. I just switched some purl and knit rows and it was fine. Easy pattern.
how do I get the pattern?
The directions do NOT match the picture of the fingerless gloves. The picture clearly shows the glove to be knit in the stockinet stitch; however the directions would have a row showing purled stitches every time an increase was made.
I've just cast off the thumb stitch. I'm a beginner; not sure how to proceed from there. I know normally when you cast off, you cut the working yarn and pull it through, but I can't do that here because there's more work to finish up. How do I move on to the remaining work to finish it after having finished the thumb? Thank you!
I would like very much to knit these gloves, but I find that the pattern is missing some purl rows. Please make it more clear which rows are increase rows for the thumb and include a purl row. If you could lay it out row by row that would be great. Thanks, Suzy
