Three Fundamental Rules For Safe Gun Handling
Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
This is the primary rule of gun safety. A safe direction means that the gun is pointed so that even if it were to go off it would not cause injury or damage. The key to this rule is to control where the muzzle or front end of the barrel is pointed at all times. Common sense dictates the safest direction, depending on different circumstances.
Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
When holding a gun, rest your finger on the trigger guard or along the side of the gun. Until you are actually ready to fire, do not touch the trigger.
Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
Whenever you pick up a gun, immediately engage the safety device if possible, and, if the gun has a magazine, remove it before opening the action and looking into the chamber(s) which should be clear of ammunition. If you do not know how to open the action or inspect the chamber(s), leave the gun alone and get help from someone who does.
When Using Or Storing A Gun, Always Follow These NRA Rules:
Know your target and what is beyond. Be absolutely sure you have identified your target beyond any doubt. Equally important, be aware of the area beyond your target. This means observing your prospective area of fire before you shoot. Never fire in a direction in which there are people or any other potential for mishap. Think first. Shoot second.
Be sure the gun is safe to operate. Just like other tools, guns need regular maintenance to remain operable. Regular cleaning and proper storage are a part of the gun's general upkeep. If there is any question concerning a gun's ability to function, a knowledgeable gunsmith should look at it.
Know how to use the gun safely. Before handling a gun, learn how it operates. Know its basic parts, how to safely open and close the action and remove any ammunition from the gun or magazine. Remember, a gun's mechanical safety device is never foolproof. Nothing can ever replace safe gun handling.
Use only the correct ammunition for your gun. Only BBs, pellets, cartridges or shells designed for a particular gun can be fired safely in that gun. Most guns have the ammunition type stamped on the barrel. Ammunition can be identified by information printed on the box and sometimes stamped on the cartridge. Do not shoot the gun unless you know you have the proper ammunition.
Wear eye and ear protection as appropriate. Guns are loud and the noise can cause hearing damage. They can also emit debris and hot gas that could cause eye injury. For these reasons, shooting glasses and hearing protectors should be worn by shooters and spectators.
Never use alcohol or over-the-counter, prescription or other drugs before or while shooting. Alcohol, as well as any other substance likely to impair normal mental or physical bodily functions, must not be used before or while handling or shooting guns.
Store guns so they are not accessible to unauthorized persons. Many factors must be considered when deciding where and how to store guns. A person's particular situation will be a major part of the consideration. Dozens of gun storage devices, as well as locking devices that attach directly to the gun, are available. However, mechanical locking devices, like the mechanical safeties built into guns, can fail and should not be used as a substitute for safe gun handling and the observance of all gun safety rules.
Be aware that certain types of guns and many shooting activities require additional safety precautions.
Regular cleaning is important in order for your gun to operate correctly and safely. Taking proper care of it will also maintain its value and extend its life. Your gun should be cleaned every time that it is used.
A gun brought out of prolonged storage should also be cleaned before shooting. Accumulated moisture and dirt, or solidified grease and oil, can prevent the gun from operating properly.
Before cleaning your gun, make absolutely sure that it is unloaded. The gun's action should be open during the cleaning process. Also, be sure that no ammunition is present in the cleaning area.

A Guide to Firearm Safety (available as brochure)
When handling, using, or storing any type of firearm, safety must be your first concern. Gun safety rules must be understood and applied in all situations involving firearms.
The three fundamental rules of gun safety must always be applied simultaneously when handling or using a gun:
1. Always keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
2. Always keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
3. Always keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
The following gun safety rules should also be observed when using or storing a gun:Be aware that certain types of guns and many shooting activities require additional safety precautions.
Know your target and what is beyond. Be sure the gun is safe to operate. Know how to use the gun safely. Use only the correct ammunition for your gun. Wear hearing and eye protection as appropriate. Never use alcohol or drugs before or while shooting. Store guns so they are not accessible to unauthorized persons.
The National Rifle Association (NRA) provides a variety of courses in its Basic Firearm Training Program. These courses are conducted by NRA Certified Instructors and are available in the following subject areas: pistol, rifle, shotgun, home firearm safety, personal protection, and muzzleloading. Contact the NRA Training Department at (703) 267-1430 for a list of instructors in your area. For more information on firearm safety, contact: NRA's Education & Training Division at (703) 267-1500.
Types Of Guns And Gun Actions
The two basic types of firearms are pistols (handguns) and long guns. The most common types of pistols in use today are revolvers and semi-automatics. The most common types of long guns are rifles and shotguns.
To understand how a firearm works, it is first necessary to understand the firearm's action. The action is a group of moving parts used to load, fire, and unload a gun. A gun is usually identified by its type of action. Various gun actions and unloading techniques are described here. When unloading a gun, always eject the cartridges into your hand or onto a soft, clean surface.
CAUTION:This brochure provides only general information about firearms. Due to the large variety of mechanical designs available, some guns will differ from the descriptions in this brochure. Some guns also require different handling and unloading techniques. For this reason, always be sure to get proper training from a competent instructor. Also read and understand the gun's instruction manual. If you have any questions or problems, consult a knowledgeable person.
Some long guns use a magazine. A magazine is a storage device designed to hold cartridges ready for insertion into the firing chamber. The location of the magazine may vary depending upon the action, model, and make of the gun. Various types of magazines also exist. Two of these magazine types are described below.
A box magazine is usually found in the location shown here. Some box magazines are detachable and can be removed by depressing a button, latch, or similar release device. Other types of box magazines are not detachable. Some have a hinged floorplate, and are unloaded by pressing a release device that allows the floorplate to open and the cartridges to drop out of the magazine. Other types of non-detachable magazines do not have a releasable floorplate, and the cartridges are usually ejected by carefully opening and partially closing the action.
A tubular magazine is usually found in one of the locations shown here. Some tubular magazines have an inside tube which must be removed in order to let cartridges drop out of the magazine. The action must also be opened and partially closed several times in order to be sure that no cartridges are left in the magazine. Other types of tubular magazines do not have a removable inside tube, and the cartridges are usually removed by carefully operating the action of the gun. Because a cartridge can become stuck in a magazine tube, the gun may still contain a cartridge after the above steps have been taken. Therefore, leave the action open to prevent a cartridge from being moved into the chamber.
NOTE: Read the manufacturer's instructions for unloading your type of gun. However, whenever possible: (1) avoid handling the gun when a cartridge is in the chamber; and (2) avoid working the action in such a way that a cartridge is fully inserted into the chamber.

A Parent's Guide to Gun Safety (available as brochure)
The Parents' Responsibility
In a home where guns are kept, the degree of safety a child has rests squarely on the child's parents. Parents who accept the responsibility to learn, practice and teach gun safety rules will ensure their child's safety to a much greater extent than those who do not. Parental responsibility does not end, however, when the child leaves the home.
According to federal statistics, there are guns in approximately half of all U.S. households. Even if no one in your family owns a gun, chances are that someone you know does. Your child could come in contact with a gun at a neighbor's house, when playing with friends, or under other circumstances outside your home. It is critical for your child to know what to do if he or she encounters a firearm anywhere, and it is the parents' responsibility to provide that training.
Talking With Your Child About Gun Safety
There is no particular age to talk with your child about gun safety. A good time to introduce the subject is the first time he or she shows an interest in firearms, even toy pistols or rifles. Talking openly and honestly about gun safety with your child is usually more effective than just ordering him or her to "Stay out of the gun closet," and leaving it at that. Such statements may just stimulate a child's natural curiosity to investigate further.
As with any safety lesson, explaining the rules and answering a child's questions help remove the mystery surrounding guns. Any rules set for your child should also apply to friends who visit the home. This will help keep your child from being pressured into showing a gun to a friend.
Toy Guns vs. Real Guns
It is also advisable, particularly with very young children, to discuss gun use on television as opposed to gun use in real life. Firearms are often handled carelessly in movies and on TV. Additionally, children see TV and movie characters shot and "killed" with well-documented frequency. When a young child sees that same actor appear in another movie or TV show, confusion between entertainment and real life may result. It may be a mistake to assume that your child knows the difference between being "killed" on TV and in reality.
If your child has toy guns, you may want to use them to demonstrate safe gun handling and to explain how they differ from genuine firearms. Even though an unsupervised child should not have access to a gun, there should be no chance that he or she could mistake a real gun for a toy.
What Should You Teach Your Child About Gun Safety?
If you have decided that your child is not ready to be trained in a gun's handling and use, explain that he or she must not touch a gun in your home, unless you are present and have given permission. If your child sees a gun outside the home, teach him or her to follow the instructions of NRA's Eddie Eagle ® Gun Safety Program:
Don't Touch.
Leave the Area.
Tell an Adult.
The initial steps of "Stop" and "Don't Touch" are the most important. To counter the natural impulse to touch a gun, it is imperative that you impress these steps of the safety message upon your child.
In today's society, where adult supervision is not always possible, the direction to "Leave the Area" is also essential. Under some circumstances, "area" may be understood to be a room if your child cannot physically leave the apartment or house.
"Tell an Adult" emphasizes that children should seek a trustworthy adult - neighbor, relative or teacher - if a parent or guardian is not available.
The NRA's Eddie Eagle ® Gun Safety Program includes an instructor guide, activity books, poster, and an animated video to explain its four-step safety message. For more information about the program or to obtain the materials, call (800) 231-0752.
Where to Get Training
The time may come when you or your family members want to learn to handle and shoot a gun safely. In the case of a child, his or her attitude, learning ability, and physical and emotional maturity are some of the factors to be weighed before allowing formal instruction to begin.
When a parent decides a young person is ready, many training opportunities are available. Providing instruction in the safe handling, use, and storage of firearms is one of NRA's most important functions. NRA Basic Firearm Training courses, taught by 36,000 NRA Certified Instructors, are offered in every state. A program called "FIRST" STEPS (Firearm Instruction, Responsibility and Safety Training) provides a three-hour orientation to your specific firearm. For more information about taking any of these courses, please call our automated voice menu system at (703) 267-1430.
Gun Owners' Responsibilities
Most states impose some form of legal duty on adults to take reasonable steps to deny access by children to dangerous substances or instruments. It is the individual gun owner's responsibility to understand and follow all laws regarding gun purchase, ownership, storage, transport, etc. Contact your state police and/or local police for information regarding such laws.
If you own a gun and do not know how to operate it, do not experiment with it. Point it in a safe direction, keep your finger off the trigger, and store it securely. Seek competent assistance and instruction at once. An untrained adult can be as dangerous as a curious child.
Store guns so that they are inaccessible to children and other unauthorized users. Gun shops sell a wide variety of safes, cases, and other security devices. While specific security measures may vary, a parent must, in every case, assess the exposure of the firearm and absolutely assure that it is inaccessible to a child.
For more information on firearm safety and youths, call (703) 267-1560, or write: NRA Community Service Programs Division, 11250 Waples Mill Road, Fairfax, VA 22030.
This brochure is not intended as a complete course in gun safety and is not a substitute for formal, qualified instruction in the handling, use, or storage of firearms. The guidelines herein should be considered options to minimize the chance of an accident occurring in the home.

Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light Reviews
I prefer this more than the original primerThis doesn't make my skin breakout as often, and in general I just don't like the silicone/gel feeling of the original. This absorbs well and clear. I have a small travel size and I am surprised at how long that has lasted, despite having used it every day for several weeks. — 6 years, 5 months agovolta | 566 reviews

Yes!I often find myself searching for a perfect makeup primer. This is very nearly it and is what I always come back to in between experiments with new products. It's very good. It's reliable. It doesn't make me breakout, ever. It's very light. I can wear it under my powder foundation and except for the fact that my makeup lasts so much longer, I can't even tell I have added another step to my morning...read more routine. I generally buy the travel/sample size tube at Sephora because I only need one tiny dollop to cover my whole face so that small, less expensive, tube lasts me a very long time. I've purchased this multiple times and the only reason I don't give it 10 stars or give in and buy the full size to use full time is that it doesn't control shine as much as I would like. I have oily skin (most of the time) and tend to be shiny by mid-day. My perfect (seemingly imaginary) primer will be light, not break me out, AND control shine. So while this one is close, it isn't QUITE the one. Maybe someday!! — 4 years, 7 months agotallredamanda | 433 reviews

Great!This primer is lightweight gel lotion, that is not too thick and silicon-y like the original one. It glides over face, and feels silky and light. It's not at all oily nor cushiony, and you need very little. If you have oily skin, this is one of the better suited primers. It's a bit pricy, so it loses a star. — 7 years, 8 months agoMakeupGuru | 444 reviews

Concealed Carry at Gun Shows
Is it common practice to ban concealed carry at most Gun Shows?
Here in Kansas it usually is. But since a lot of the places have taken down the gun buster signs, they usually just tape a piece of paper up saying no carry. I know a few people will walk by the signs since they don't comply with state law.
It is here in MS, I don't like it myself but I somewhat understand it after being at a gun show where some idiot started firing off rounds by mistake.
Just because the venue is for buying, selling, and trading guns, doesn't mean that everyone there is smart enough to handle one. And unfortunately that goes double for SOME permit holders.
When there are a lot of guns in one place, especially with how stupid some people are, the likelihood of having a fatal accident is increased
I dont do it cuz of signs but because i dont want to be accused of sticking someone's stock item in my pants if im made carrying.
Its prolly irrational but its what i think lol
The only gun show I was allowed to carry was the NRA Convention in Phoenix AZ. Most of them dont allow carry and require all guns to be disabled with a plastic tie. There was an incident at one show where someone loaded a round into a 45 auto. The dealer was busy but was kind of suspicious when the guy set the pistol down and took off in a hurry. He checked the pistol mostly because he thought the guy might have stolen a part and found the live round. He was evidently trying to create an incident and did not care who got hurt.
Shows I go to require all firearms that pass the two nice police officers at the door to be zip tied. Concern is a LOT of guns and a LOT of people in a very small space.
There was a show not too long ago where a dealer had a ND inside the show. He and his merchandise were removed from the show posthaste, and the officers at the show arrested him.
It did not seem to find disapproval of anyone at the show, with several hundred people in the show. Nobody hurt which was DAMNED lucky.
Something like that could end gunshows in our state.
I don't agree with this way of thinking. I just don't go to any Gun shows anymore, most everything is over priced anyway..But I guess I can't see a problem, any permit holder is supposed to be a responsible and component to carry a firearm, so I just can't see what the difference is in the gun show vs Walmart.. It should be dealt with by the law, if a CPL holder breaks the law then he pays the price. We all shouldn't have to pay for these Morons. Like that will ever change...Right?

Review of NEW Janome Skyline S9
This machine is a part of their affordable S series, and is the first in this series to combine sewing and embroidery on one machine. The machine is feature rich, yet has the ease of use you expect from a Janome machine--with built-in tutorials to get you up and running. It also comes with a comprehensive manual that is indexed well, with pictures and diagrams, to let you know how to use all of the features. One of my favorite features...is it's wi-fi capability. This is a machine that speaks the language of the 21st century. You can send designs to the machine wirelessly via your i-pad. Because the machine is so feature rich, I wasn't able to test out every feature, but I wanted to make sure I at least tested out the basic sewing stitches, decorative stitches, and embroidery, and changing basic settings through the touch screen. I also purposely created a project that had many layers to see if this machine could be a reliable "work horse." My conclusion...you're going to love this machine.
To test some of the machine's basic features, I created designed and pieced quilt. (Heads up, this quilt design will be available as a FREE downloadable project on the Janome website later this month.) For this project, I used basic straight stitches and listened to the machine's soft hum, as I pieced. The machine is smooth to operate, and has low vibration, which makes it nice to use. The LED lights were great for lighting up my project so I could be accurate with my piecing. The machine allows you the ability to operate it with a traditional foot pedal, or a touch stop/start button. A convenient knee lift is included with this machine for raising the presser foot.
You can also adjust the speed via the slide control, to prevent you from being to "heavy with your pedal" if you need to sew a little slower. I liked the convenient inclusions of the locking stitch, reverse, and cut-thread buttons. I also found the automatic presser foot lift feature quite useful in streamlining the process on my project. I would have loved to have had a completely automated needle threader like the Janome MC 15000, but the manual needle threader did the job well, and was quick. (This is where you save some money on the machine.) The workspace is larger than any of the other in the S class, at 8.25"x13" of bed space and 8.25" to the right of the needle. This was more than adequate space for the projects I chose. I went through lots of thread piecing this large quilt and so I got to know the bobbin winder. It's super simple, and if you forget how to use it, simply press on the question mark on the user interface and you will be directed to a tutorial.
For my second project, I tested out the embroidery side of the machine. You need to attach the embroidery arm unit, and switch out the needle plate before proceeding into embroidery mode. It doesn't take long to switch over, and I went back and forth between sewing mode and embroidery mode a few times with ease.
For this project, I created a matching pillow for the quilt. I selected one of Anna Maria Horner's on-board embroidery designs (yes, get excited, because 40 of her designs are included on this machine,) and selected some gorgeous thread from her embroidery kit specially designed for use with the S series. This thread is yummy scrumptious--yummy colors, and a scrumptious luxurious sheen in a strong polyester thread. This particular design was comprised mostly of satin stitches which really show off the sheen of the thread. I didn't have a single thread break while stitching this beautiful design.
The Skyline S9 includes the embroidery arm and three hoops--the largest being 170mm X 200mm. There are also hoop magnets included if you have a project where that kind of attachment works better over traditional hooping. I enjoyed watching the mesmerizing stitch sequences, and was pleased with the intricate detail that the design and the machine provided. This design takes 21 minutes and the screen shows you exactly which stitch you are on and how much more to go. You can resize your embroidery using the touch-screen interface, you can also reposition the design and change stitch density.
For fun I added some decorative stitching to my pillow project. After testing out several of the satin and decorative stitches, I chose to feature one of the appliqué stitches as I wanted the embroidery design to stand out and not get busied by a decorative stitch. The decorative stitches would be super fun for another project though. I played with the spacing and size on this appliqué stitch, via the touch screen, and found a setting perfect for my project.
These were just some of the features that I tested. There is so much more to this machine than what I played with--including the ability to design your own custom decorative stitches! If you are looking for a great embroidery/sewing combo machine at a nice price point, this would be a good one to consider. You can read more about the features of this machine on the Janome website here.
By the way...the quilting on my quilt was done by Melissa Kelley of Sew Shabby Quilting. She does a beautiful job!

I just recently purchased a Janome Horizon Memorycraft 9400 sewing machine for my quilting. It is a much larger machine than this particular one, but it has a hefty pricetag of $3,000, not sure how much this one cost, and I loved all what it could do for me. No embroidery, which was fine because I don't don that, but the first week I was sewing on it and heard a sizzle in the back and poof, it went dead! Wouldn't turn back on, it was fried. So off to the quilt shop where I bought it and they sent it back to Janome. Janome didn't fix it, but instead sent me a brand new machine. This one is working like a gem and I'm loving it. I can't thank Janome enough for correcting the situation quickly for me. The worst part of the ordeal was to have to box the first one up and put it on a dollie to return it and then to pick up the new one the same way!ReplyDelete

Notre Dame proposes moving main road from campus
The University of Notre Dame is offering to move a main road that divides the central part of its campus from several university buildings.
Notre Dame's plan would shift Douglas Road further north away from campus in a project that would join it to the Indiana Toll Road's entrance and exit road to Indiana 933 on South Bend's north side.
Notre Dame vice president Doug Marsh tells the South Bend Tribune that the plan is aimed at improving safety for drivers, bicyclists and pedestrians around campus. Some residents who attended a Tuesday night public meeting said they worried about a big increase in traffic.
St. Joseph County commissioner Andy Kostielney tells WNDU-TV that the current road is poorly lit and Notre Dame's project would provide a better road.

Foxwoods Standardizes Group Reservation System
Foxwoods Resort Casino announces its adoption of the Passkey online group reservation system as its standard method for handling and managing group reservations. Foxwoods will now offer Passkey to all its meeting planners and events including wedding, corporate meetings, conferences and conventions.
"We are pleased to offer our meeting planners and their attendees this automated system to streamline the group reservation process," states Joan Esneault, executive director of resort sales at Foxwoods. Esneault expects Passkey to aid Foxwoods during their expansion to include MGM Grand at Foxwoods in 2008.
Among other features, event attendees at Foxwoods will be able to use Passkey's custom event websites to make, modify and cancel their hotel reservations from any web browser while planners will have 24/7 access to online event reports.
"The staff at Passkey has been extremely flexible to our internal needs as we get ready to launch the first 2-way interface allowing a seamless process of booking groups through Passkey and our own call center," says Debra Pyles, director of reservations and guest services at Foxwoods. "We will have no need to re-key reservations. We are ready to take the traditional group reservation process to the next level as we customize attendee websites, and provide them with the most updated technology in the market."

Fedor Emelianenko was, at one time, the best fighter competing in the sport of MMA. He had over thirty wins with no real defeats, and the manner in which he won his fights made him seem like something out of a comic book, rather than a regular old mortal man.
Case in point: When he met Nogeuria, the man with the most dangerous guard in all of MMA? He went to the mat with him and absolutely decimated him, moving in and out of his guard at will and hitting him with such force that his head would snap back like a Pez dispenser being loaded.
When he met CroCop, one of the most feared strikers in the heavyweight division? He stood toe-to-toe with him, out-striking the K1 striker in a manner that almost no one expected.
And when he met powerhouse wrestler Kevin Randleman, and found himself on the receiving end of a suplay that would have broken the neck of any other man? He absorbed it like his vertebrae were made of steel, and submitted him moments later.
Yes, Fedor's reign was a thing of legend. He was well on his way to ending his career as the best to ever don the 4 ounce gloves, Dana White was tossing piles of cash at him in an attempt to get him inside of the Octagon, and his legacy was intact.
But then something happened: Fedor lost.
Three times in a row, to be exact. And when you lose three times in a row when you hadn't lost in ten years prior to that, well… you start looking a little too human. A little too mortal. And Fedor's legacy started to burn out right before our shocked eyes. Sure, Fedor's win streak was still remarkable. And a lot of people still feel that he was the best ever. But his legacy had been severely tarnished by those three losses, to the point where it almost seems like – to some fans – they outweigh the thirty wins that preceded them.
It's not fair. It's a travesty. And it's the same fate that Anderson Silva faces, if he loses to Chris Weidman tonight.
Sure, his record will still be intact. His streak will still be in the books. The records he broke and the amazing fights he put on for us will still be on tape, ready to be enjoyed all over again at a moment's notice. Silva doesn't need to win tonight in order to prove any of those things. They're already proven.
Anderson Silva needs to win tonight for his legacy.
If he were to lose to Chris Weidman twice in a row, he will be facing the same harsh reality that Fedor faced. He will look all too human, and the fans will pick him apart like crows swarming on fresh roadkill. They'll say ridiculous things, like "Ah, he was never that good anyway"… or "He never really faced anyone that talented, before Chris". They will say it, and unfortunately in the sport of MMA, reality is all too often defined by a majority decision.
This is truly the biggest fight of Anderson Silva's career. His entire legacy literally comes down to what he does or does not do in that cage tonight. And either way, we will all be witness to a huge moment in MMA history. In 25 minutes or less, a man's legacy will be decided before our very eyes. And whether you love him or hate him, you have to respect the amount of pressure that Anderson will carry into that cage. Very few men will ever get to define their entire life in a matter of minutes, in front of millions of people, with one man standing in the way of them and a level of greatness that only a handful of people will ever achieve. And you can bet that Fedor will be watching right along with us, stoically cheering Anderson on.
Try not to blink, guys. No matter who throws it, an entire career will quite possibly be defined by a single strike. Don't miss it.Tags: Anderson Silva, Chris Weidman, CroCop, Dana White, Fedor Emelianenko, Kevin Randleman, mma, MMA NEWS, Nogeuria, ufc, ufc news

It is clear that the communications landscape has changed in America and across the globe. According to experts in the field, "The forces of change, coupled with the compression of time between periods of change, are necessitating the development of an entirely new skill set that is unlike anything seen before. This 'toolkit' for the future includes competencies driven largely by technological and social change, and will be equally important to individuals, employers and policy makers alike."
This minor equips students with this "toolkit" and prepares them to work in the new media environment that has been called Web 3.0. However, rather than simply offer limited courses that focus on the specific functions of various social media applications, we have designed a program that exposes students to the deeper connections at the heart of the utility of these applications.
At the core of this program are courses from Marketing and Public Relations because, to most experts, these fields have merged into one nearly-inseparable set of practices, a merger that has been brought about by the use of the new technologies associated with Social Media, such as Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In, Groupon, etc. The courses we have brought together for this program reflect this new media landscape, and offer students the fundamental principles of developing content for a range of contexts using social media platforms, as well the additional skills of computer and web design that make students even more attractive job candidates.

Deutsche Bank's Australian entity posted a $15.5 million loss last year, underlining the negative impact weak capital markets activity is having on Australian investment banks.
Accounts filed with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission last week show Deutsche Australia Limited recorded operating income of $443.7 million in the year to December 31, down 20 per cent from $554.2 million on the previous year.
But expenses also fell steeply, to offset the revenue deterioration.
The result was not as bad as 2011, when Deutsche reported a $26.9 million loss.
Not the full picture
The Australian financial accounts of global investments banks provide an indication of their performance in the country, but not the full picture, because some business activities linked to Australia are booked in other jurisdictions.
Deutsche's spokesman in Australia, Adrian Cox, said multinational organisations file local entity financial statements as required by local reporting requirements.
"Those accounts do not give a complete picture of businesses that serve a wide variety of international and local clients both onshore and offshore," he said.
No dividend paid to parent
The Deutsche accounts lodged with ASIC and audited by KPMG say the principal activities of the consolidated entity reporting in Australia include the provision of financial services, treasury and investment services.
It is the holding company for Deutsche Bank's Australian subsidiaries. No dividend was paid to its German parent.
Deutsche ranked seventh in core investment banking revenue in Australialast year, with 4 per cent market share, says Dealogic.
Others disappoint
The German bank is due to report global interim profit results on Tuesday.
Other global banks, including Citigroup, JPMorgan and HSBC, recently lodged Australian financial accounts with ASIC and reported disappointing results.
Macquarie Group will report full-year earnings for the year to March 31 on Friday.

Former "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star Janet Hubert is suing the American Federation of Television and Radio Acts (AFTRA) and their Health Fund, claiming that her insurer is refusing to cover her treatments for "intense spasms" and "strange chattering."
According to Radar Online, the 58-year-old, who played Will Smith's Aunt Viv on earlier seasons of the series, says she began suffering in 2004 and was treated by a chiropractor for "military neck," a rare condition involving the loss of curvature in the spine. She says she also developed an intense case of vertigo which left her unable to operate a vehicle. The lawsuit lists Hubert's surgery and treatment with a dry needle trigger point specialist to fix a strange "chatter" in her jaw as cause for intense pain, leaving the actress unable to work.
Hubert says HR sent her a letter in 2011 stating that they never meant to pay for any of the injections and her usage was "excessive in terms of frequency and duration." HR said only four injections per year were "medically necessary," however Hubert had received 42 since 2010. A remaining sixteen yearly treatments were granted, but the rest were to be paid out of pocket. Hubert has reportedly filed several appeals, stating that she "has been unable to afford continuous treatments" and as a result "has been unable to accept numerous jobs." Hubert claims that without proper medical care for her ailments, she was forced to claim disability.

The Art of Polymer Clay Millefiori Techniques: Projects and Inspiration…
by Donna Kato
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I consider myself a beginner in polymer clay even after working with it for several years. This book had projects that were easy for me to do, and they helped clean up a good deal of the scrap clay that I have accumulated over time. The pictures of Donna Kato's work as well as that of other artists are very inspiring as well.
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0823099180, Paperback)A thousand and one ideas for making beautiful polymer clay millefiori. In Venetian glassmaking, slender rods of molten glass are shaped, then cut to reveal amazingly detailed patterns: flowers, geometric shapes, dancing colors. These slices are called millefiori, "thousand flowers," because they form a carpet of flowers when placed side by side. Now celebrity author Donna Kato shows crafters exactly how to re-create these intricate, fascinating designs in polymer clay. The Art of Polymer Clay Millefiori Techniques reveals the entire process: how to work with the polymer clay, the basics of planning and creating a cane, and using color effectively. Dozens of canes, from simple to simply stunning, are included, and everything is clearly explained and illustrated with full-color photos, the Donna Kato way. Throughout the book, examples of stunning work by such millefiori artists as Kathy Amt, Pier Voulkos, and Kathleen Dustin provide inspiration. There must be a thousand ways to make beautiful millefiori . . . explore them all in The Art of Polymer Clay Millefiori Techniques.

Institutional Conflict Settlement in Divided Societies: The Role of Subgroup Identities in Self-Government Arrangements
Institutions can contribute to regulating interethnic conflict; however, in many cases they fail to bring about lasting peace. The paper argues that their negligence of intraethnic factors accounts for some of this failure. Ethnic groups are often treated as unitary actors even though most consist of various linguistic, tribal or religious subgroups. This internal heterogeneity is often obscured by overarching collective ethnic identities that are fostered by interethnic conflict. However, when such interethnic conflict is settled, these subgroup differences may come back to the fore. This "resurgence" can lead to subgroup conflict about the political and economic resources provided through intergroup institutional settlements. Such conflict can in turn undermine the peace-making effect of intergroup arrangements. Different subgroup identity constellations make such destructive effects more or less likely. The paper focuses on self-government provisions in the aftermath of violent interethnic conflict and argues that lasting intergroup arrangements are especially challenging when they involve "contested" ethnic groups.

I found these two vintage posters hidden behind a painting I purchased at an auction years ago. I am having a difficult time finding any information about them online. One says Thomas Wildey, Founder Of The First Lodge Of American Odd Fellowship at Baltimore April 26-1819. It was published by J.M. Wolfe 2007 Willow Ave N. Minneapolis. Minn. Copyright 1894. The other is called the Emblematic Prayer and has the names T.C. Fielding Del and E.A. Fowie, Sc. It was printed by J.H. Daniels Copyright 1883 by T.C Fielding Boston, MA.
Does anyone have any information about these two posters?

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Review by Jackal45x
"Canon Fodder: A Review of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed"
Ever since Luke Skywalker decimated the Death Star, Yoda lifted an X-Wing, and Darth Vader conquered the Emperor, fans of Star Wars have wanted desperately to wield the force. While there are still no Jedi Academy recruiters visiting local high schools for prospective Padawans, Lucasarts has developed The Force Unleashed for those hungry to learn the ancient ways of the force. The question is, is this an honors course or remedial studies?
The Force Unleashed drops the player somewhere between, Revenge of the Sith, and A New Hope, allowing control of Lord Vader for the training level on Kashyyyk. The representation of the force on this first level is an exaggerated, menacing incarnation of the graceful power found in other reaches of the Star Wars universe. It's entertaining to see force lighting-blasted Wookies being slung off of flailing bridges, but the real initial draw is seeing the dark, ominous Vader stalking about the vibrant, green wildlife of the planet. Never before has one of fiction's greatest villains looked so amazing on screen. His cape billows around him as he plows through ranks of Wookies, always keeping a determined, steady pace without running. The essence of Vader is captured perfectly here.
The nostalgic bliss that flows through the first level is immediately interrupted by a stubborn camera. The game urges the player to use quick God of War-like combos to dispatch foes, while simultaneously babysitting the viewpoint. The problem only gets worse when introduced to the game's main protagonist, Vader's apprentice Starkiller. This main character is far faster than Vader, utilizing dodge moves and lightning fast attacks that leave the sluggish camera in the dust. Even with the sensitivity cranked all the way up, the camera never truly felt like it was flowing naturally with the combat. Boss battles take a different, yet equally annoying approach as they opt for a mostly static camera angle that zooms in and out at its own leisure. Just when it feels safe to focus on dodging and combos the broken camera snags and awkwardly shifts, punishing you in a way no boss in the game can. Think of trying to watch the Darth Maul lightsaber scenes of Episode I with a 5-year-old holding the camera. You get the picture.
As control shifts to Starkiller, the mighty powers that were bestowed upon the player as Vader are immediately stripped, and so begins an upward climb to regain the powers. Throughout the eight hours of the game Starkiller will learn the Star Wars video game standards like force grab, force push, force lighting, lightsaber throwing, etc. Nothing too new here, except in the execution. Doors do not simply open when force push is used upon them, their hinges are shattered as they blow apart. Enemies aren't simply tossed about the air with force grab, they cling to objects around them like other troopers and hand rails as they float helplessly through the air, only to be thrown into an abyss. In these terms the force is truly unleashed.
However, the fun that is produced by manipulating objects with the force is fleeting, and these sorts of antics are not required to complete the game. In fact, toying with your subjects like a bully with a magnifying glass and an ant farm will most likely result in a blaster-shot through the heart. This boils down to quick flicks of the joystick to toss enemies aside, and devastating lightsaber combos to clean up the mess, a concept not altogether extraordinary compared to other action games. The lock-on system is automatic and very touchy, making it is difficult to target who you want to reach out to with the force. Additionally, the melee combat is sloppy and imprecise, causing expert Jedi Starkiller to hack through an enemy with a movement-restricting combo that inevitably causes him to fall off a cliff. Sometimes it doesn't even take a fierce battle to cause premature death, several times the character would be stationary, only to slide down an imaginary slope and fall to his doom. Despite the lack of never actually playing on the ice-planet Hoth, there is the consistent feeling that Starkiller is treading on ice, never with sure footing. The platforming sections of the game are deplorable for this reason. Imagine trying to throw a tennis ball on a pyramid and getting it to stay put, that's what it's like trying to get Starkiller to jump on a platform at times.
The game takes a quick turn for the difficult after the TIE fighter factory, throwing tough, force-immune droids at the player. It is hard to feel like a Jedi when made to run like a chicken for cover while waiting for the force meter to be replenished. Attempting to soften the blow of oddly overpowered enemies, force powers are gained and upgraded by racking up kills, leveling up, and finding hidden orbs. Throughout the process of the game the awe of force unleash-ness never matches the magnitude of the first level.
The main draw of this game for any Star Wars fan should not be its interpretation of the force, but rather the canon storyline, stamped with George Lucas's approval. The plot features standards like Vader and Emperor Palpatine, along with many familiar faces that I won't mention for sake of the fanatics that have yet to play the game. Lets just say that the cameos are likely to cause a wistful shiver to run down any fan's spine. Epic Star Wars characters aside, the plot contains some confusing twists and a somewhat sloppy origins story for a vital component that defines the classic trilogy. Despite all the minor issues with the story, this is Star Wars canon, enough said.
In the end The Force Unleashed felt like a rushed and unpolished vehicle for a good Star Wars story. If it had spent another year in development and had all the kinks smoothed out, it could have been a truly memorable gameplay experience. Only diehard Star Wars fans need apply.
Overall: 6/10

The act of passing one turd from the anus of one individual to another anus of an individual, achieved with care, patience and lubrication. First witnessed in the German Porno film 'Choc Horror'.
I watched as the two lesbians engaged in brown docking, slowly, one girl strained to expel her turd whilst the other girl, the receiver, relaxed her anal sphincter muscles and received the turd completely into her own rectum.

Imagine that it's 1961 and ordinary teenager Jane Doe has been drafted by the CIA to become a super-secret spy agent. Her mission? Infiltrate an American high school to find a Russian spy who is about to send classified space program information to the USSR.
But it's not easy being undercover, especially when your spy family consists of a femme fatale "mom," a 40-year old "younger brother" and a dashingly narcissistic "dad."
Add some obnoxious fellow students, terrible teachers and curriculum, and a horrific prom, and you have a mission that just might be impossible. If you like classic spy shows such as "Get Smart," "The Untouchables," "James Bond" or "Mission Impossible," then you will love "Spy School."
"Spy School" is being performed tonight, Friday and Saturday by the Advanced Drama Class of Empire High School's Theatre Department.
The comedic play is directed by drama teacher Richard Gremel, a graduate of the University of Arizona, where he received his B.F.A. in theater education. Along with teaching classes at Empire, he is the technical director at Live Theatre Workshop, designing all of its sets and lighting. He also acts at various theaters around town and is a playwright for the All Together Theatre.
"Spy School" stars Savannah Hutchings as Jane Doe, Aidan Cipra as Blake Moore, the coolest spy ever, and Bri Sayles as the mean teenage American girl Priscilla.

Berlin (May. 16)
Thousands of Jews who are subjects of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and other parts of Czarist Russia, and are now living in Prussia, the majority in Berlin, will be affected by the new Prussian Aliens Law, which will enter into force on July 1st., it emerges from the official explanation given to the J.T.A. here by the Berlin police authorities.
There are about 200,000 aliens living now in Berlin alone, it appears, who will all be required to obtain registration cards, in accordance with the provisions of the law. Most of these 200,000 aliens are believed to be Jews, from Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and the territory constituting present-day Russia, who are not, however, Soviet citizens but Staatenlose, in possession of Nansen passports.
Registration has been necessary also previously, in the case of aliens living in Berlin and other parts of Prussia, but under the new law the authorities will have power to deport at any time any alien considered an "undesirable", a powerful weapon in the hands of the authorities at a time like the present, when the Nazis are the strongest Party in the Prussian Parliament, and may obtain inclusion in the next Government.
The new law provides that every alien living in Prussia must appear before the police and explain why he is staying in Germany, and only if he can satisfy the police that his reason is satisfactory, he will be permitted to remain. Permits will be issued for terms varying from six months to three years, and in some cases for a longer period. Such permits do not give the right to aliens to be employed in Germany, however. Aliens who are employed in German firms, or who depend for their livelihood on their employment in Germany, will not be permitted to remain in the country.

Long Island Children's Museum
An entire city can be built within Long Island Children's Museum. All it takes is a little imagination, and a basic understanding of architectural principles like balance and proportion. Luckily, the "Best of Long Island"-winning museum's Bricks & Sticks and Building Boom with KEVA exhibits teach those very concepts. Museum educators and interactive software provide inspiration as kids (and adults) design and shape skyscrapers, castles, bridges, and more out of blocks.
Those building activities are just two of the 14 hands-on exhibits that take families across the museum's grounds. The TotSpot area lets the youngest visitors slide and play on age-appropriate equipment, while other galleries let kids explore outdoor gardens, step inside giant bubbles, and film mock-newscasts, complete with hard-hitting exposés on just who is the real John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt. Even the onsite theater has an interactive element. Here, actors and musicians often invite kids on stage to join in on the performance.

Kang Choel-gu is the corrupt maverick cop who is shaken up when he is attacked and connects it with the brutal murder of an elderly couple.
The maverick cop with a predilection for corruption and violence has become such a movie staple that it's difficult to uncover new angles without lapsing into caricature or excess.
Unless, of course, you combine both these shortcomings and turn them to your advantage, as Seol Gyeong-gu has done in this abrasive, but often hilarious South Korean crime story.
Anything that Seol's lumbering ex-boxer can do, cynical yuppie Lee Seong-jae can match, especially if it prevents him being arrested for the murder of the parents who dared to stand in the way of a career-making deal.
Director Kang Woo-Suk makes evocative use of the urban settings and packs proceedings with punishing set-pieces, but the pace slackens occasionally and buffoonery sometimes slips into Seol's antics. However, the quirkier asides featuring his colleagues and criminal sidekicks keep things ticking nicely until the much-anticipated showdown.
Beautifully set with some superb set pieces, Public Enemy drags during its second act, and the climatic showdown between Lee and his lawman nemesis simply isnít worth the wait.

This was the seventh year of "Secret Art", a unique Leumi exhibition which, in keeping with tradition, the artist behind each work was kept secret until the end of the exhibition. This year, the works dealt with issues related to the city of Tel Aviv-Jaffa, and they were displayed alongside the exhibition to mark the "90 year anniversary of the central branch in Tel Aviv".
"Secret Art" is based on the artistic format of the Royal Academy of London and exhibits 150 works - some by promising artists at the start of their career, others by well-known veteran artists. So that visitors will view the works with impartial eyes and focus on the works themselves, the names of the artists are not exposed during the exhibition. This also gives all artists an equal opportunity to sell their work.
All works in the exhibition were for sale, with all the proceeds going directly to the artists.
Each work had a starting price, and all bids had to be above it. The work wiwas sold to the highest bidder. If there were two or more bids in the same amount, the work was sold to the first bid that was accepted.
In keeping with the tradition of "Secret Art" this year we also put together an exhibition for you, with works of leading artists, promising young artists alongside veteran established artists, with one secret: the name of the artist.
Beit Mani – Leumi, 34 Yehuda Halevi St., Tel Aviv
The exhibition was held between the dates of January 15, 2013-January 24, 2013.

The purpose of this notice is to inform school districts of the updated data collection schedule and district cohort assignments for activities conducted as part of the Massachusetts State Performance Plan (MA SPP). As you are aware, IDEA-2004 requires states to develop a six-year strategic State Performance Plan (SPP) that evaluates each state's efforts to implement the requirements and purposes of IDEA. In the SPP, each state is required to provide baseline data, establish performance targets, and outline improvement activities that respond to 20 Indicators identified by the Federal Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP). In addition, for each Indicator, the state is required to publicly report data at both the state and district levels.
Thanks to your efforts, Massachusetts has completed its first four-year cycle of data collection for the MA SPP. Now that this initial cycle is completed, the Department has revised the district cohort assignment list and data collection schedule for the next four-year period (2009-2010 through 2012-2013). The data collection schedule has been revised to include Indicator #12: Early Childhood Transition. These data have previously been collected through the Fund Code 262 grant application. Data collection activities for this indicator will be managed by the Department of Early Education and Care. In almost all cases, the district cohort assignments remain unchanged. A small number of districts have been reassigned to a different cohort to better align them with their regional affiliations.
The six indicator areas for which the Department will collect data through the cohort schedule are:
In order to view the full MA SPP and APR and read the specific requirements for each of these indicators, go to MA SPP for FFY 2005-2012 and MA APR FFY 2012 page. Because of the nature of these six indicators, local data collection activity through the cohort schedule is necessary. For the other 14 indicators, data is already available through SIMS or other existing data collection activities.
Attached is the District Cohort Assignment list, the Data Collection Schedule for the indicators identified above, and an Activity Overview by Cohort. Districts will receive information in the fall providing more detailed information on the data collection requirements for the indicator areas to which the district is assigned during the 2009-2010 school year. If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact the Special Education Planning and Policy Development Office at the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (781-338-3375).

Wholesale Hook & Loop Patches
Hook and loop patches are military patches that contain a hook and loop closure. Hook-and-loop fasteners consists of two layers: a "hook" side, which is a piece of fabric covered with tiny hooks, and a "loop" side, which is covered with even smaller and "hairier" loops. When the two sides are pressed together, the hooks catch in the loops and hold the pieces together. When the layers are separated, the strips make a characteristic "ripping" sound. Hook and loop is surprisingly strong. Generally military patches are attached to the front of the chest or on the side sleeve on the uniform. We also offer a sew-on kit to make any item hook and loop compatible. Hook & Loop are also known as discounted sale military taped fabrics, government issued army navy rolled straps, replica Velcro fasteners, etc. Hook & Loop are commonly misspelled as hooke on loope insignias rankings, etc.

Gauging Future Changes in Nuclear Construction Costs
The future inflation of construction costs would appear, at the moment seem to be impossible to project. First the great housing crash of 2008 may not be over yet. Millions of American home owners owe more on their homes than can be recovered by the sale of the homes. As unemployment grows, and home owners will be unable to make payments on their mortgages. With mortgage default, the home's ownership passes back to banks that will be unable to recover mortgage costs, and indeed will have difficulty finding buyers. With the contraction of home sales, more homes will go on the rental market. This will deflate rental cost. As rental costs go down people who mortgages are "under water" may simply walk away from high mortgage homes and move to lower-cost rental homes. Thus there is significant potential down side leverage in the housing economy.
A continued housing collapse would in turn would continue to put pressure on the banking sector of the national and international economies, and thus further bank bailouts may be needed. The insolvency of banks would make obtaining credit under any circumstances difficult if not impossible. And the unavailability of credit would have a depressing effect on both the American and the world economy.
A second long term impact on the economy will come from the increase of savings. Wage earners have at the moment taken a terrific hit to their retirement savings. There will be no easy recovery from this hit. In addition to shortfalls for retirement plans, we can project a long term greater insecurity about asset appreciation. Both of these factors point to a higher savings rate, with more saving going into "safe" investments. More savings means less consumption. Less consumption means less economic growth or an economic contraction.
Thirdly, governments worldwide have created a great deal of money to deal with the economic crisis of 2008. Economists note that unless that money supply can be contracted during a recovery, the result will be significant inflation. Given these factors we may be facing stagflation, or an outright prolonged depression at worst.
Given the unpredictable economic outcome for the great crash of 2008, it is simply impossible to project future costs on new power generation projects. At the moment inflationary pressures on construction costs have eased. The price of raw materials for power plant production – steel, cement, copper, etc. – dropped substantially in 2008. Many future construction plans are being set aside, and with the lowering of construction demand labor costs will go down as well. This all would suggest a deflation in construction costs for new power generation facilities, even in the face of rising overall inflation. Thus the most likely outcome for the cost of nuclear power will be lower rather than higher construction costs.
In addition, the probable increase in the savings rate may mean that more money is available for investment in new power facilities. It is unlikely that the true ratio between the cost of base power and power on demand between nuclear and renewables is unlikely to change. At present and for the foreseeable future nuclear power will offer lower cost base power and power on demand than renewables can.

At the conference (Image: gdtd.vn)
At the event, Deputy Head of the Trade Promotion Department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Ta Hoang Linh said since Vietnam and the US signed a bilateral co-operation agreement, two-way trade has increased and the US has become Vietnam's leading importer.
In 2011, Vietnam's exports to the US fetched US$16.9 billion, representing 17.5% of the country's total exports. However, Vietnamese businesses are still facing difficulties due to poor access to new US regulations on Vietnam's goods for export.
Vice President David Lennarz of the Registrar Corp, which co-organised the seminar, said as of 2012, each food business must register with the FDA biennially.
The Act allows FDA to inspect a registered food production establishment if FDA believes the establishment's products may seriously affect people's health or cause human or animal fatality, he said.
The Act also permits FDA to ask and even order the company to retrieve its infectious products, he added.
Experts also said US importers are asked to confirm the safety of all batches of Vietnamese food, pharmaceutical products and beverages shipped to the US.
The regulation stipulating FDA's request for safety certificates for each batch officially took effect on Jan. 4, they said, adding that FDA will release a list of qualified importers on July 4.

The following comments are based on Thinlet beta 5.
Thinlet is a GUI toolkit that allows rapid prototyping of user interfaces in Java. Taking a similar (but much simpler) approach to XUL it allows an interface to be described using an XML document. It supports quite a rich array of components.
The framework is built around the premise that there's a single class that does all the heavy lifting: i.e. does all the parsing, event handling, layout, etc. This means that the API is very small. It's just one class, albeit a very large one. And explains why the framework operates on Personal Java and MIDP platforms, it's pretty lightweight.
Creating a Thinlet application is quite simple:
- create an XML description of the user interface
- create a sub-class of thinlet.Thinlet for your application
- use the thinlet.AppletLauncher or thinlet.FrameLauncher to bootstrap the GUI from an applet, or main method respectively.
Components in the GUI description should be named to allow them to be looked up from the object model the Thinlet class maintains internally. Objects are manipulated (i.e properties accessed and updated) via their name. Events are tied to components via their action attribute which indicates the name of the method implementing that event handler.
I started looking at Thinlets not as a means for creating interfaces on small devices, but as an alternative to XUL which I find pretty complicated for simple uses. As a quick way to produce a Java interface and tie it together with some simple application logic I've found it hard to beat.
However the design decisions made to make Thinlet lightweight also means that there are a few disadvantages I'll discuss these in a moment.
Disadvantage #1 -- Hand-rolled XML parser
The first disadvantage is that the Thinlet class contains its own hand-rolled XML parser. Presumably this is to limit externally dependencies and make the API as lightweight as possible.
The downside to this is that its not a fully-fledged XML parser and doesn't support (for example) entity declarations. I'd looked to use this feature to break-up a complex GUI description. It also doesn't support namespaces or additional (non-Thinlet) elements in the GUI description, again this would be useful to add in extra data.
I've also found that the errors that the API generates due to a badly formed GUI description pretty opaque.
There are some pretty lightweight parsers out there, so it would be nice if Thinlet could bundle one of these instead.
Disadvantage #2 -- Limited event-handling
I think the most frustrating thing I've found is not the range of events that the framework supports (Drag and Drop is in progress apparently), but the way the event handling is tied to user provided code via the action attribute.
In short the value of the attribute must be a method on your Thinlet subclass. There's no way to delegate event-handling to another class, or register a series of named event-handlers. This means that for more complex applications you'll end up with a very large class unless you factor out the code into separate utility classes.
This is what I've ended up doing, but it'd be nice to be able to remove that last bit of boiler plate code.
Disadvantage #3 -- The Thinlet class is HUGE!
Faced with the above limitations I'd considered refactoring the framework to splice in some of my own code. However the Thinlet class is nearly 9000 lines of Java code, with few comments. This makes it a bit difficult to get to grips with.
I'm not sure whether this is another design decision aimed at reducing download times, but surely a number of smaller classes wouldn't be much large?
Other Problems
Here are a few other problems I've encountered:
- Can't unset icons -- Seems like its impossible to remove an icon from a component. Using setIcon with a value of null doesn't have any effect.
Resolved Problems
- Can't determine current focus --
I wanted to have a generic action attached to several text fields. It seemed that I was unable to do this easily as it didn't look like there was a way to determine which component currently had the focus. The only alternative seems to be to have one method for each field, and then delegate calls from those to a generic handler.
Happily a response on the Thinlet forum solved my problem. It seems that the action parameter can take some scripted variables, like this:
<textfield name="A" action="foo(this, this.text, this.name)" /> public void foo(Object field, String text, String name) ...
Which neatly solves my problems. I think this will address some of my gripes with the event-handling also.

Industry Canada issued Gogo a "subordinate license" today for an air-to-ground radio frequency spectrum that will allow Gogo to provide its airborne high-speed Internet service on commercial and business aircraft flying over Canada. The Canadian network will operate on the same frequency as Gogo's existing ATG network in the continental U.S., allowing Gogo to provide service within Canada and on cross-border flights between the U.S. and Canada.
"This license will allow us to offer seamless connectivity service for both our airline partners and business aviation customers operating between the U.S. and Canada," said Gogo president and CEO Michael Small. "Whether on a commercial or business aircraft, passengers traveling in Canada can soon experience the same technology that has a proven track record of performance and reliability in the U.S."
Gogo plans to begin cell site construction in the fourth quarter and expects the Canadian network to be in operation by the end of next year. The network will focus initially on Canadian routes served by Gogo's existing U.S. and Canadian airline customers. It will also service business aircraft currently using Aircell's Gogo Biz.

Wall surprises with come-from-behind GSA Men's win
Updated 9:40 am, Monday, June 23, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — When all the scores were tallied up at the end of the Greater San Antonio Men's Championship, the winning golfer was nowhere in sight.
JJ Wall, 33, was inside the clubhouse of the Republic Golf Club watching the World Cup. A Golf San Antonio official had to go inside and tell him he was the amateur tournament's champion.
Wall shot an impressive 3-under 68 to finish with a 4-under total in earning the title Sunday. He won by three strokes.
"It was surprising," Wall said. "They say, 'Always come to the course prepared to win,' but I can't say I really thought I was going to win today."
Wall is no stranger to the top of the leaderboard at GSA events — he has won the men's championship three times. He also took home the trophy in 2001 and 2011.
Entering Sunday's play, Wall was five shots behind the leader. He did not even play with the last leading group.
Sports Channel
"I really didn't know where I stood all day," Wall said. "I think that's kind of the advantage of not being in the last group. There's not the pressure."
Wall improved his score every day of the tournament. Friday he shot a par 71, then had a 1-under 70 on Saturday before producing his best performance Sunday when it counted.
Wall said the reason for the difference in his score Sunday was his putting.
"I hit the ball good all three days," Wall said. "But I did not have a lot of putts drop the first two days. You just kind of keep at it, and eventually if you keep hitting good putts, some of them will start going in."
Edward Sanchez, 41, was the leader Sunday morning. But a 5-over 76, including a double bogey on No. 16, dropped him to 2-under for the tournament. He finished tied for second.
Alex Bissaro, 20, shot a 1-under 70 to match Sanchez with a 2-under total.
