I shared this Banana Nut Muffin Recipe 7 years ago when I had started to blog more "seriously." I still use this recipe all of the time - nothing better than warm banana muffins with coffee in the morning, especially when you can bake them fresh every morning with this little secret...
One of my favorite shortcuts that I use almost every week, is to make a large batch of muffin batter and keep it in the fridge or freezer in a Disposable Piping Bag. If we want fresh baked muffins, I just get the bag out of the fridge in the morning, snip off the end, squeeze the batter into muffin papers, and in 15 minutes we have warm, buttery Banana Muffins.
If you keep the batter in the freezer, just put the bag of batter in the fridge the night before and it should be perfectly thawed in the morning.
I mentioned that we've been hosting a lot of guests this summer and this is one of my favorite tricks to an easy help-yourself-breakfast. Just another way I like to pretend that I own a bed & breakfast : )
I always keep a couple bags of Muffin batter and unbaked Scones in the freezer.
These are the Large 18" Disposable Bags (100 for $16) and hold enough batter for about 8 large muffins baked in my Brown Jumbo Cupcake Papers. I use the Large Scoop to portion them as I put them in the bag. I scoop = 1 muffin
A double batch of the recipe below will make about 3 bags or 24 muffins.
We've been having warm muffins a couple of times a week this summer - one of my favorite shortcuts of all time!
Muffins are completely underrated. Or should I say, homemade, really good muffins are completely underrated. My muffin perspective had been tainted by the bad muffins I would grab at the coffee shop or the airport. These muffins, baked weeks (or months!) ago are too sweet, too dense, too greasy and too heavy. They made me forget how incredibly moist, buttery and delicious a fresh, baked-from-scratch muffin can be.
Treat yourself to a real treat tomorrow morning and whip up these muffins. It won't take you more than 10 minutes to stir them together and 20 minutes to bake. If you're really organized, you can make the batter the night before and bake them in the morning. Your house will be brimming with the best Banana Nut aroma as it bakes - the smell is almost as good as eating the actual muffins... a great way to wake up.
I suggest making these muffins and your own "Pumpkin Spice" latte (recipe coming tomorrow!) on a Saturday morning - your house will feel cozier than the most charming coffee shop... and the muffins will be much better.

U.K. Legislation on the Web, 1267-Present
Blog readers may be interested to know of a new website managed by the National Archives in the United Kingdom: http://www.legislation.gov.uk The site, launched last week, contains U.K. legislation, 1267 to the present, and is fully searchable.
Posted by Thomas P. Gallanis at 12:43 PM

Unfortunately, the database does not appear to contain any (or most) laws that had been repealed before 1991. So many old statutes do not appear. It really seems to be more of a "statutes in force" website.

Still the site is fascinating. I've been reading the Statute forbidding the Bearing of Armour (1313)!

Outside my window: it's snowing! It's been coming down for awhile now and the weather man says we can expect another 4.5 inches of snow! I see very little chance of us not having a white Christmas at this point.
This weekend we: bought BB her first pair of snow boots so that she can start walking outside. My back has been hurting a lot lately and carrying her is not helping, I'm sure. She's getting to be such a big girl!
We also: ran all of our usual errands, which is becoming less and less fun as it gets closer to Christmas. Seriously annoyed sometimes with all the awful traffic and crowds that accompany the holidays. It shouldn't make people so harried, spending so much more money, etc. I wish the whole holiday were much simpler. I've tried pretty hard to keep things toned down this year and while I still feel like we got more than I intended, I think we managed to keep it simple and rooted in good things. Even better? Everything is purchased, wrapped and ready to go.

Hello C programming gurus!!
I want to write a small C programme that in theory sounds simple enough, and hopefully you can let me know if its viable. I did some C programming a few years ago, so I'm not a complete newbie, but lets just say I'm a little rusty
What the program will do:
From a seperate windows application (not created by me), it will read pixels at specific x,y points and then mimic mouse clicks at certain x,y points.
What I've found out so far:
I'll need to use getpixel to read the pixels!
I've found some info on mouse clicks.
Setforegroundwindow or setfocus won'w work as these only work on programs under the threads control - how can I get around this??
If I intend to have this program work on a windows application will it be hard to program if I've not done it before??
Will the mouse click and get pixel be easy enough?
These are kind of vague questions, but I'm still doing some research.
I would loved to have posted a thread entitled 'Write me a C program that does...' - but I though that'd be a bit cheeky
Any help you can offer would be great, as would any links you may have for achieving my goal.

Sequences of numbers can have limits. For example, the sequence 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, ... has the limit 0 and the sequence 0, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, ... has the limit 1. But not all number sequences behave so nicely. Can we still discern some sort of limiting behaviour?

Crib Mattresses - Is It Okay To Use Old Ones?
Crib Mattresses - Is It Okay To Use Old Ones?I was recently reading some blogs online and saw a question about using old crib mattresses instead of getting a new one for an upcoming baby. The mattress they were considering using was actually 20 years old (although I don't know how much it had been used during that time.)
I would suggest that using a 20-year-old mattress might not be the best idea. Perhaps if it had been stored in a dust-free environment – preserved, really – it would be okay. As long as it was scrupulously clean and dry when it was put in storage.
But what worries me is the materials used to make mattresses 20 years ago. I don't know what precise laws regarding chemicals or heavy metals have changed during that time, but it's not out of the question that some of the materials used to make crib mattresses 20 years ago are now recognized as toxic.
In any case, with a new baby you really just can't be too careful when it comes to health and safety. What happens to them when they're an infant and in their formative years will influence them for their entire lives. A healthy environment, with a brand new organic cotton crib mattress that is certified as safe is a good start.

Form data model editor provides an intuitive user interface and tools for editing and configuring a form data model. Using the editor, you can add and configure data model objects, properties, and services from associated data sources in the form data model. In addition, it allows you to create data model objects and properties without data sources and bind them with respective data model objects and properties later. You can also generate and edit sample data for data model object properties that you can use to prefill adaptive forms and interactive communications while previewing. You can test data model objects and services configured in a form data model to ensure it is properly integrated with data sources.
If you are new to Forms data integration and have not configured a data source or created a form data model, see the following topics:
Read on for details about various tasks and configurations you can perform using the form data model editor.
You must be a member of both fdm-author and forms-user groups to be able to create and work with form data model. Contact your AEM administrator to become a member of the groups.
If you created a form data model with data sources, you can use the form data model editor to add data model objects and services, configure their properties, build associations between data model objects, and test the form data model and services.
You can add data model objects and services from available data sources in the form data model. While added data model objects appear in the Model tab, added services appear in the Services tab.
To add data model objects and services:
The Model tab displays a graphical representation of all data model objects and their properties added to the form data model. Each data model object is represented by a box in the form data model.
You can hold and drag data model object boxes around to organize them in the content area. All data model objects added in the form data model are grayed out in the Data Sources pane.
In addition to data model objects and services, OData service metadata document includes navigation properties that define association between two data model objects. For more information, see Working with navigation properties of OData services.
You can invoke services that you configured in the Services tab of a form data model using the adaptive form rules. The configured services are available in the Invoke services action of the rule editor For more information about using these services in adaptive form rules, see Invoke Services and Set Value Of rules in rule editor.
While you can add data model objects from configured data sources, you can also create data model objects or entities without data sources. It is helpful especially if you have not configured data sources in the form data model.
To create a data model object without data sources:
Form data model editor allows you to create child properties in a data model object. The property when created is not bound to any property in a data source. You can later bind the child property with another property in the containing data model object.
To create a child property:
Enable Computed if the property is a computed property. The value of a computed property is evaluated based on a rule or an expression. For more information, see Edit properties.
If the data model object is bound to a data source, the added child property is automatically bound to the property of the parent data model object with the same name and data type.
To manually bind a child property with a data model object property, tap the browse icon next to the Bind Reference field. The Select Object dialog lists all properties from the parent data model object. Select a property to bind with and tap the tick icon. Note that you can only select a property of the same data type as the child property.
After you have created data model objects and properties, you can continue to create adaptive forms and interactive communications based on the form data model. Later, when you have data sources available and configured, you can bind the form data model with data sources. The binding will automatically get updated in associated adaptive forms and interactive communications. For more information about creating adaptive forms and interactive communications using form data model, see Use form data model.
When the data sources you want to integrate with the form data model are available, you can add them to the form data model as described in Update data sources. Then, do the following to bind the unbound data model objects and properties:
To read and write data for a data model object, do the following to configure read and write services:
In addition to data model objects and services, OData service metadata document includes navigation properties that define association between two data model objects. When you add an OData service datasource to a Form Data Model, there is a service available in Form Data Model for all navigation properties in a data model object. You can use this service to read the navigation properties of the corresponding data model object.
For more information using the service, see Working with navigation properties of OData services.
Toggle Top Level Object to specify if the data model object is a top-level model object.
Data model objects configured in a form data model are available for use in the Data Model Objects tab in the Content browser of an adaptive form based on the form data model. When you add association between two data model objects, the data model object you are associating with is nested under the data model object you are associating from in the Data Model Objects tab. If the nested data model is a top-level object, it will also appear separately in the Data Model Objects tab. Therefore, you will see two entries of it, one inside and another outside the nested hierarchy, which might confuse form authors. To make the associated data model object appear only in the nested hierarchy, disable the Top Level Object property.
Tap for the read service argument to bind the argument to a User Profile Attribute, Request Attribute, or Literal value and specify the binding value. It binds the service argument to the specified binding attribute or literal value, which is passed to the service as an argument to fetch details associated with the specified value from the data source.
In this example, the id argument will take the value of the empid attribute of the user profile and pass it as an argument to the read service. It will read and return values of associated properties from the employee data model object for the specified empid. So, if you specify 00250 in the empid field in the form, the read service will read details of the employee with 00250 employee id.
In addition, you can make an argument mandatory or optional.
Typically, there are associations built between data model objects in a data source. The association can be one-to-one or one-to-many. For example, there can be multiple dependents associated with an employee. It is referred to as one-to-many association and depicted by 1:n on the line connecting associated data model objects. However, if an association returns a unique employee name for a given employee ID, it is referred to as one-to-one association.
When you add associated data model objects in a data source to a form data model, their associations are retained and displayed as connected by arrow lines. You can add associations between data model objects across disparate data sources in a form data model.
Predefined associations in a JDBC data source are not retained in the form data model. You must create them manually.
Select the check box at the top of a data model object to select it and tap Add Association. The Add Association dialog opens.
In addition to data model objects and services, OData service metadata document includes navigation properties that define association between two data model objects. You can use these navigation properties when adding associations in Form Data Model. For more information, see Working with navigation properties of OData services.
In the Add Association pane:
- Specify a title for the association.
- Select the association type — One to One or One to Many.
- Select the data model object to associate with.
- Select the read service to read data from the selected model object. The read service argument appears. Edit to change the argument, if necessary, and bind it to the property of the data model object to associate.
In the following example, the default argument for the read service of the Dependents data model object is dependentid.
However, the argument must be a common property between the associating data model object, which in this example is Employeeid. Therefore, the Employeeid argument must be bound to the id property of the Employee data model object to fetch the associated dependents details from the Dependents data model object.
The added association appears in the data model object box with the specified title and a line connecting the associated data model objects.
You can edit an association by selecting the checkbox against it and tap Edit Association.
You can edit properties of data model objects, their properties, and services added in the form data model.
To edit properties:
Tap Edit Properties. The Edit Properties pane for the selected model object, property, or service opens.
- Data model object: Specify the read and write services and edit arguments.
- Property: Specify the type, sub-type, and format for the property. You can also specify if the selected property is the primary key for the data model object.
- Service: Specify the input model object, output type, and arguments for the service. For a Get service, you can specify if it is expected to return an array.
A computed property is the one whose value is computed based on a rule or an expression. Using a rule, you can set the value of a computed property to a literal string, a number, result of a mathematical expression, or the value of another property in the form data model.
For example, you can create a computed property FullName whose value is a result of concatenation the existing FirstName and LastName properties. To do so:
In OData services, navigation properties are used to define associations between two data model objects. These properties are defined on an entity type or a complex type. For example, in the following extract from the metadata file of the sample TripPin OData sample services, the person entity contains three navigation properties - Friends, BestFriend, and Trips.
For more information about navigation properties, see OData documentation.
<edmx:Edmx xmlns:edmx="http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/ns/edmx" Version="4.0"> <script/> <edmx:DataServices> <Schema xmlns="http://docs.oasis-open.org/odata/ns/edm" Namespace="Microsoft.OData.Service.Sample.TrippinInMemory.Models"> <EntityType Name="Person"> <Key> <PropertyRef Name="UserName"/> </Key> <Property Name="UserName" Type="Edm.String" Nullable="false"/> <Property Name="FirstName" Type="Edm.String" Nullable="false"/> <Property Name="LastName" Type="Edm.String"/> <Property Name="MiddleName" Type="Edm.String"/> <Property Name="Gender" Type="Microsoft.OData.Service.Sample.TrippinInMemory.Models.PersonGender" Nullable="false"/> <Property Name="Age" Type="Edm.Int64"/> <Property Name="Emails" Type="Collection(Edm.String)"/> <Property Name="AddressInfo" Type="Collection(Microsoft.OData.Service.Sample.TrippinInMemory.Models.Location)"/> <Property Name="HomeAddress" Type="Microsoft.OData.Service.Sample.TrippinInMemory.Models.Location"/> <Property Name="FavoriteFeature" Type="Microsoft.OData.Service.Sample.TrippinInMemory.Models.Feature" Nullable="false"/> <Property Name="Features" Type="Collection(Microsoft.OData.Service.Sample.TrippinInMemory.Models.Feature)" Nullable="false"/> <NavigationProperty Name="Friends" Type="Collection(Microsoft.OData.Service.Sample.TrippinInMemory.Models.Person)"/> <NavigationProperty Name="BestFriend" Type="Microsoft.OData.Service.Sample.TrippinInMemory.Models.Person"/> <NavigationProperty Name="Trips" Type="Collection(Microsoft.OData.Service.Sample.TrippinInMemory.Models.Trip)"/> </EntityType>
When you configure an OData service in a Form Data Model, all navigation properties in an entity container are made available through a service in the Form Data Model. In this example of TripPin OData service, the three navigation properties in the Person entity container can be read using one GET LINK service in the Form Data Model.
The following highlights the GET LINK of Person /People service in the Form Data Model, which is a combined service for the three navigation properties in the Person entity of the TripPin OData service.
Once you add the GET LINK service to the Services tab in the Form Data Model, you can edit the properties to choose the output model object and the navigation property to use in the service. For example, the following GET LINK of Person /People service in the following example uses Trip as the output model object and the navigation property as Trips.
The values available in the Default Value field of the NavigationPropertyName argument depend on the state of the Return array? toggle button. When it is enabled, it shows navigation properties of Collection type.
In this example, you can also choose the output model object as Person and navigation property argument as Friends or BestFriend (depending on whether Return array? is enabled or disabled).
Similarly, you can choose a GET LINK service and configure its navigation properties when adding associations in the Form Data Model. However, to be able to select a navigation property, ensure that the Binding To field is set to Literal.
Form data model editor allows you to generate sample data for all data model object properties, including computed properties, in a form data model. It is a set of random values that comply with the data type configured for each property. You can also edit and save data, which is retained even if you regenerate the sample data.
Do the following to generate and edit sample data:
Next, you can use the sample data to prefill and test interactive communications based on the form data model. For more information, see Use form data model.
Your form data model is configured but before putting it in use, you may want to test if the configured data model objects and services are working as expected. To test data model objects and services:
You have a working form data model that is now ready for use in adaptive forms and interactive communications workflows. For more information, see Use form data model.

View this webinar as MathWorks and Gamma Technologies engineers demonstrate how to calibrate a modern aftertreatment model to experimental data using MATLAB and GT-SUITE. A global optimization algorithm is used to identify the kinetic chemical reaction parameters of an ammonia oxidation catalyst model. Once calibrated, the catalyst component model is included into a complete aftertreatment system model, which includes an engine model in GT-SUITE and an engine control model in Simulink. System-level optimization is then run to view trade-offs of performance and cost.

Jeremy's Review: 2015 Oscar Nominated Shorts – Live Action
I'm happy to say that most of the Live-Action shorts are more upbeat than their documentary predecessors. This crop of films come from a variety of countries (Tibet/France, Ireland, Israel, England and Switzerland) and cover a variety of topics. Most of them do a great job of pulling the cinematic equivalent of sleight of hand, leading us down one road Read More →

Developers who work with Flex and PHP can boost their productivity by combining two tools: Flash Builder and Zend Studio for Eclipse. This setup lets you create a combined project with Flex and PHP natures and reap the benefit of coding in both languages. (In Eclipse, natures link a project with specific builders and other settings.) The setup also enables you to debug your Flex and PHP code at the same time.
In this article I will show you how to install Flash Builder 4 together with Zend Studio for Eclipse, how to create a combined project, and how to debug a project that uses Zend AMF to send data between Flex and PHP.
Flash Builder is delivered in two flavors: one is the standalone version and one is a plug-in version for Eclipse. Because I want to be able to use the same IDE for editing both PHP and Flex code in the same project, I need to have Eclipse with both Zend Studio and Flash Builder installed.
The easy way to do this is to install the Zend Studio for Eclipse first, and then start the Flash Builder Eclipse Plug-in installer. Make sure you install in the Zend Studio Toolbar (this will help you to debug the PHP code). This approach should work just fine on Windows. On a Mac you should install first the Flash Builder 4 and then use the update site for Zend Studio 7.1 to add Zend Studio to Flash Builder 4. This is because Flash Builder 4 is Carbon based while Zend Studio is Cocoa.
At some point, the Flash Builder 3 installer will ask you for the location of the Eclipse installation folder to which you want to add Flex Builder (see Figure 1).
After the installation is done, you are ready to use these tools on Flex and PHP projects.
Figure 1. Selecting the Zend Studio installation folder.
If the installation was succesful, then you should see something like this:
Figure 2. Zend Studio and Flash Builder installed together on Windows.
Now you are ready to create a project in Zend Studio that can be used for both Flex and PHP code. My prefered workflow when working with Flex and PHP projects is to hava single project for both PHP and Flex because usually I work on both client and server side. However this is not necessary the best workflow, it is more about a personal choice. Some people prefer to create two different projects: one for PHP files and another one for the Flex application.
Flash Builder has a Flex project type named PHP. If you create this type of project, it will have only a Flex nature and not a PHP nature, thus some PHP features provided by the Zend Studio will not be available for your project.
To have both natures, first create your PHP project. Choose File > New > Other (see Figure 3). In the wizard select PHP > PHP project (see Figure 3) and then click Next. When the PHP Project wizard opens, specify a project name (in this example I used flex_project). Click Finish (see Figure 4).
Figure 3. Opening the New Project Wizard.
Figure 4. Choosing the PHP Project type.
Figure 5. The PHP project wizard.
Once you have created the project, right-click on it and choose Add/Change Project Type > Add Flex Project Type… (see Figure 6). This wizard will add Flex nature to your PHP project, so you will be able to create Flex applications and compile them as you would in any Flex project.
Figure 6. Adding the Flex Project Nature.
Clicking Add Flex Project Nature starts a wizard that looks very similar to the new Flex Project Wizard. Select PHP as the Application server type and then click Next (see Figure 7).
Figure 7. The first page of the Add Flex nature wizard.
On the second page of the wizard (see Figure 8), enter the path to your web root folder and the URL for this path. For example, on my machine these are /Applications/MAMP/htdocs and http://localhost.
Figure 8. The final page of the Add Flex nature wizard.
You could also use a network path or a folder that is under your web server root. For example, maybe you have a folder named tests under your root server. In this case the values will be c:\htdocs\tests and http://localhost/tests. After you enter these values, click Validate Configuration. If your server has not started, or if you mispelled the URL or the web root location, you will see a warning. Click Finish when you are done. You should now have a project like the one shown in Figure 9.
Figure 9. The combined Flex and PHP project.
A few notes on these last steps:
- If you want to create an AIR – PHP project, you need a different approach that involves some additional work. The reason is that the Add/Change Project Type wizard doesn't support AIR projects; it supports only Flex, Flex Library, ActionScript, and Flash Professional projects. But if you work a little bit, you can do it yourself. For this, first you create the AIR project you want. Then create a PHP project. Eclipse uses a special file, named .project, inside each project to track the natures of the project. Copy the nature and build command nodes from the PHP .project file to the AIR .project file and you are done.
- Why choose PHP for the application server type in the Add Flex Nature wizard? As you remember the wizard asks for the location and URL of the web server. Flex Builder uses this information to place the compiled Flex application under the path you provided and to launch it from there using the URL you provided. Basically it streamlines the deployment tasks, so you don't need to manually copy the SWF files, open the browser, or remember the correct URL.
- After you run the Add/Change Project Type wizard you might see an error in the Problems view stating that "Can not create HTML wrappers…".You can fix this very easily, just right-click on it and choose Recreate option.
Now that you have the project properly set up, you can create a small Flex application that talks with a PHP script using Zend AMF. Zend AMF enables Flex developers to make remote procedure calls from Flex to a PHP class; it is part of the Zend Framework, an open source project.
Create the PHP code
Zend AMF lets you to call methods on PHP classes from your Flex application, but the PHP classes must be inside the server web root.
As you write this PHP code, it would be nice to be able to use Zend Studio for this. The problem is that your project files are not inside of your server root folder (thus if you create the PHP class in the web server root folder, you will not see it in your Flex PHP project). Fortunately there is a simple solution. Eclipse lets you to link an external folder to any project you might have. Create a folder called zendamf_remote inside your web server root. Make sure that you are in the Flex perspective. Right-click on your project name and choose New > Other, select Folder in the wizard, and then click Next. When the new wizard starts, click Advanced and browse for the web server root folder and select the zendamf_remote folder (see Figure 10). Click Finish and you should now see a new folder named zendamf_remote inside your project.
Figure 10. Creating a linked resource.
Next, select the PHP perspective in Eclipse (see Figure 11), then rightclick on the zendamf_remote folder and select New > Other….
Figure 11. Selecting the PHP perspective.
When the New wizard opens, select the Class entry from the PHP node and click Next. In the new wizard just type in a file name (MyService.php) and a class name (MyService) and then click Finish (see Figure 12). Repeat this step to create another class called VOAuthor.
First let's add a table with some data to your MySQL database server. You can use this code:
CREATE TABLE `authors_aut` ( `id_aut` int(11) NOT NULL
auto_increment, `fname_aut` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`lname_aut` varchar(255) default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id_aut`),
UNIQUE KEY `fname_aut` (`fname_aut`,`lname_aut`) )
ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=5 ;
INSERT INTO `authors_aut` VALUES (1, 'Dantes', 'Alighierie');
INSERT INTO `authors_aut` VALUES (2, 'William', 'Shakespeare');
INSERT INTO `authors_aut` VALUES (3, 'Umberto', 'Eco');
INSERT INTO `authors_aut` VALUES (4, 'Niccolo', 'Machiavelli');
What I want to do is to create the PHP code to retrieve all the records from a table from a MySQL database, and the code for updateing one record from the same table. For this, I create the PHP class MyService wich is the class I will call from Flex. This class provides two methods: getData() and saveData(). Then I create the PHP class VOAuthor which acts as a data model for one row from my table. Now let's add code to all these files.
Figure 12. Creating a PHP class.
The new files are created and opened for editing in Eclipse. Here is the code for MyService class (you need to update the connection information for your specific database setup; to do this, look for the four constants at the top of the class):
require_once 'VOAuthor.php';
class MyService {
* Retrieve all the records from the table
* @return an array of VOAuthor
public function getData() {
//connect to the database.
//we could have used an abstracting layer for connecting to the database.
//for the sake of simplicity, I choose not to.
$mysql = mysql_connect(DATABASE_SERVER, DATABASE_USERNAME, DATABASE_PASSWORD);
//retrieve all rows
$query = "SELECT id_aut, fname_aut, lname_aut FROM authors_aut ORDER BY fname_aut":;
$result = mysql_query($query);
$ret = array();
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($result, "VOAuthor":)) {
$ret[] = $row;
return $ret;
* Update one item in the table
* @param VOAuthor to be updated
* @return NULL
public function saveData($author) {
if ($author == NULL)
return NULL;
//connect to the database.
$mysql = mysql_connect(DATABASE_SERVER, DATABASE_USERNAME, DATABASE_PASSWORD);
if ($author->id_aut > 0) {
//save changes
$query = "UPDATE authors_aut SET fname_aut='":.$author->fname_aut.":', lname_aut='":.$author->lname_aut.":' WHERE id_aut=":. $author->id_aut;
} else {
//add new record
$query = "INSERT INTO authors_aut (fname_aut, lname_aut) VALUES ('":.$author->fname_aut.":', '":.$author->lname_aut.":')":;
$result = mysql_query($query);
return NULL;
Let's create the code for the Value Object, the data model. Select the file VOAuthor.php and paste this code:
<?php class VOAuthor { public $id_aut; public $fname_aut;
public $lname_aut; } ?>
As you can see, this class is very simple; it just provides the same members as the fields from the table. When you use remoting, you get for free the casting of the data to the right type. For example: MyService.getData() method returns an array of VOAuthor PHP objects. However, as you will see later, in Flex the result is an array of VOAuthor ActionScript objects.
Now that you have the PHP code in place, you are ready to create the Flex code that will call the PHP class. What I want to have is a Flex application that uses a data grid to display the data and a form to edit one row.
First, be sure to select the Flex perspective from the top right icons of Eclipse. Fortunately, in Flash Builder 4 there are some new wizards that assist you when you want to consume PHP services. This wizards are accesible via the new Data/Services view (see Figure 13). If you don't see this view, go to Window > Other views… and select Data/Services entry from the Flash Builder node.
Figure 13. Data/Services view.
Then, open the flex_php.mxml file and select Design view. Next, add a DataGrid component from the Components view by draging the DataGrid onto the scene (see Figure 14).
Figure 14. Adding a DataGrid component.
Now you are ready to use the first wizard in order to create a client-side service that consumes the MyService.php class. Click on Connect to Data/Service link from Data/Services view. A wizard opens and there you have to select PHP (see Figure 15) and click Next.
Figure 15. Connect to Data/Service… wizard first page.
In the second page of the wizard use the Browse… button to select the php service, MyService.php (see Figure 16). When you click on Next a warning window pop up (see Figure 17). The Data/Service wizard uses ZendAMF part of the Zend Framework in order to enable remoting for PHP. If you click OK the wizard will install the framework for you. After the Zend Framework is installed, the wizard introspects the php service (MyService.php) and you should see the public methods from the PHP class (see Figure 18). Click Finish.
Figure 16. Selecting the php service class.
Figure 17. Installing Zend Framework.
Figure 18. Instrospecting the PHP service.
Now you should see the client service (called MyService) in the Data/Services view (see Figure 19). The wizard generated two classes in the services.myservice package. MyService is the class you'll use in your application to connect to the PHP service. It extends the _Super_MyService class that does the heavy lifting. If you ever find yourself in the position to customize the class you should always change the child class and not the parent.
Figure 19.Client side data service.
As you remember, on the PHP side you use a PHP data object (VOAuthor) to store one record from the database. You will use another wizard to create the equivalent ActionScript data object. To do this, right-click on the getData() node from the Data/Services view and select Configure Return Type… (see Figure 20).
Figure 20. Configure the return type for the getData() operation.
On the first wizard page leave the defaults and click Next. Flash Builder 4 makes a request to the MyService php class calling the getData() method. If you don't have any errors in your PHP script and the database credentials are correct, you should see the second page of the wizard (see Figure 21) and here you click Finish.
Figure 21.Creating the ActionScript data model.
If you open the valueObjects package you should find two new classes VOAuthor and its super class _Super_VOAuthor. Again, if you need to customize the data object, you should add your custom code to the child class and not to the parent.
It is time to use these classes. Let's bind the result of the getData() operation to the DataGrid. To do this, drag and drop the getData() node from Data/Services view onto the DataGrid (make sure you are in Design view). A confirmation window pops up (see Figure 22). Click OK and you should see the name of the properties from the ActionScript data object in the DataGrid header (see Figure 23).
Figure 22.Binding the getData() operation to the DataGrid.
Figure 23. getData() operation binded to the DataGrid.
Save the file and switch to Source view. You should see a block of ActionScript code that was generated by the binding operation. The dataGrid_creationCompleteHandler() function gets called once the Creation Complete event is triggered by the DataGrid.
protected function dataGrid_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
getDataResult.token = myService.getData();
When myService.getData() is called a token is returned. The token is saved into the token property of a CallResponder instance. And the DataGrid gets the data from the lastResult property of this CallResponder instance.
It is time to run the application and see the data. Make sure you saved all the changes and while you are still in the Flash Perspective click on Run icon or right-click on the flex_project.mxml file and choose Run As > Web Application. You should see the DataGrid and the data in your default web browser.
Figure 24. Testing the application.
So right now you have a Flex application that connects to a PHP class and displays the data stored in a MySQL table. And you done all the client code without coding a single line so far. How about adding editing capabilities to this application?
Let's do this now. This time you will use the other method of the PHP class (saveData()). But before calling this method, let's add a form next to the DataGrid. Make sure you go again in Design view and then select the VOAuthor entry from the Data/Services view > Data Types. Right-click on it and choose Generate Form… option (see Figure 25).
Figure 25. Start the Generate Form wizard for VOAuthor data object
In the first page of the wizard leave the default options (see Figure 26) and click Next. In the second page unselect the id_aut property (see Figure 27). You don't want to change the primary key of a record, you want only first and last name to be editable. Click Finish and you should see a form placed on top of the DataGrid. You can select the form and move it to the right of the DataGrid (see Figure 28).
Figure 26. Generate Form first page wizard for VOAuthor data object.
Figure 27. Generate Form wizard second page for VOAuthor data object.
Figure 28. Generated Form
You can change the labels and colors as you like. Once you've done with this, switch to Source view because you have to bind the current selected row from the DataGrind to the VOAuthor instance used as a data source by the form fields. If you take a look at the source you should find in the fx:Declarations sections a tag VOAuthor with vOAuthor as id. This is the object used by the form.
Add a binding tag after the Declarations tag. For the source property set the current selected item from the DataGrid cast as VOAuthor. The destination will be the vOAuthor object used by the form:
<fx:Binding source="dataGrid.selectedItem as VOAuthor" destination="vOAuthor"/>
Before you run the application, you have to create a listener for the click event of Submit button from the form. If you take a look at the form code, you'll notice that the button has a listner registered called button_clickHandler but the listner is not defined. When the button is clicked you want to copy the values from the form to the vOAuthor instance and then call the saveData() operation passing along the vOAuthor as the object to be saved back to the database.
Switch back to Design view and right click on the Submit button and then choose Generate Service Call from the contextual menu. In the opened window make sure you select the saveData() operation and click OK (see Figure 29).
Figure 29. Generate Service Call for the Submit button.
Switch back to Source view, and first make sure the Submit button has only one listner registered for the click event and then go to where the button_clickHandler function is defined (in the ActionScript code block). Add as argument the vOAuthor variable and before the service call make sure you set the text values from the form back to vOAuthor instance. The function should look like this:
protected function button_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
vOAuthor.fname_aut = fname_autTextInput.text;
vOAuthor.lname_aut = lname_autTextInput.text;
saveDataResult.token = myService.saveData(vOAuthor);
Now you are ready to test the final application. Run the application, make a selection, change the names using the form and then click on Submit button. The data should be persisted back to the MySQL database.
Figure 30.Editing the records.
It will be pretty easy to add a
delete() method on the PHP MyService class and use this method from the client. I leave this as the homework for you. I'll give you some hints how to do it. Once you have the
delete() method created on the PHP code (it should receive a VOAuthor object as argument) you can create a new button in Flex application. Then you can right-click on that button in design view and choose from the contextual menu Generate Service Call. A window opens and you can select the operation you want to call when the buttos is pressed. Choose
delete() method and click OK. This will generate a new
CallResponder instance and an event listener. Inside the event listener you need to pass the right argument, which is for this project the current selected row from the data grid. And you already have this stored by the
vOAuthor object.
Another useful tip is this: you can use the result event listener of a
CallResponder object in order to trigger other actions. For example, suppose you delete a record and once the record was deleted you want to call
getData() operation. You can easily achieve this by adding a call to the
dataGrid_creationCompleteHandler() function. This is the function that makes the request to the
getData() method:
<s:CallResponder id="deleteDataResult" result="dataGrid_creationCompleteHandler()"/>
You need to make sure that
dataGrid_creationCompleteHandler() function accepts calls without arguments. For this you change the argument to have a default value equal with null:
protected function dataGrid_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent=null):void
When you want to debug your code, you have at least three different methods to do it using Flash Builder 4 and Zend Studio.
We added two new views to Flash Builder 4 that help you to debug the code: Network Monitor and Test Operation views. If don't see these views you can add them from Window > Other Views… and look up at the views of the Flash Builder node (Network Monitor is available only in Flash Builder Premium).
Using Network Monitor view you can see all the communication that goes between the Flex client and the server. You can see both the raw data and the objects. If you want to use it, the first thing you have to do is to enable this feature: click on the Enable Monitor icon (see Figure 31).
Figure 31. Enabling Network Monitor.
After this, just run the application (you don't have to do it in debug mode). As you use the application and data are exchanged with the server, you should see the requests, how long it took and data were send/received (see Figure 32).
Figure 32. Network Monitor in action.
Test Operation view, as the name implies, let's you to test the available operations. Select Test Operation view and choose getData() operation and click Test. You should see the four VOAuthor objects (see Figure 33). If the operation expects arguments, then this view lets you define the arguments values.
Figure 33. Using Test Operation view.
The most powerful way to detect bugs is, of course, debugging. Flex debugger is a powerful tool that can help to quickly pin point and resolve bugs. Let's see how you can debug the Flex and PHP code. First run the project in debug mode (make sure you are in the Flash perspective and then click on the Debug toolbar button or right-click on the flex_project.mxml and choose Debug As > Web Application). This will start the Flex debugger. If you set a breakpoint inside the dataGrid_creationcompleteHandler() function and run in debug mode you should see the Flex debugger in action (see Figure 34).
Figure 34. Flex debugger in action.
What about debugging the PHP code? You could use the PHP debugger from Zend Studio, unfortunately, for now there is a problem with debuggin both Flex and PHP code. It seems that the PHP debugger can't locate properly the scripts included dynamicaly by the Zend Framework. As a result you won't be able to reach the breakpoints you set in the MyService.php, getData() method for example. Once we solve this issue, I will update this article explainig how to use the PHP debugger.
The way I get arround this limitation is by using the following workflow:
- First I make sure that any PHP class I wrote doesn't have syntax errors and the methods I want to use return the expected result. You can do this easily by loading in browser the service class you want to test. If you add an initialization code on that class and make a call to the method you want to test you can test the execution of the code as well. More specifically, with my setup I would load in browser this URL: http://localhost/zendamf_remote/MyService.php (this is the URL to the PHP service). If there are no syntax errors, then I can check that
getData()returns what I expect to by adding this code (above class definition):
$service = new MyService();
- Another useful workflow is to have a function that logs into a flat file the variables you pass to that function. For example, I use this function:
function logMe($var) {
$filename = dirname(__FILE__) . '/__log.txt';
if (!$handle = fopen($filename, 'a')) {
echo "Cannot open file ($filename)";
$toSave = var_export($var, true);
fwrite($handle, "[" . date("y-m-d H:i:s") . "]");
fwrite($handle, "\n");
fwrite($handle, $toSave);
fwrite($handle, "\n");
And if I want to log, for example, the argument that Flex sends when saveData() method is called, I just add this line inside of the saveData() method and then run the Flex application and edit a row:
You should see something like this in the log file:
[10-02-18 14:20:01]
'lname_aut' => 'Corlan',
'fname_aut' => 'Mihai',
'id_aut' => '15',
That's it folks! It wasn't so hard, was it?
Where to go from here
Using Flash Builder and Zend Studio for Eclipse together you can create combined Flex and PHP projects and take advantage of editing Flex and PHP files in this kind of setup. As your projects grow in scope and complexity, you will be able to debug the Flex and PHP code easily and at the same time.

Echmatocrinus brachiatusA putative echinoderm with thick arms
Crinoidea? (stem group echinoderms)
The taxonomic position of Echmatocrinus is uncertain. This animal is either considered as a primitive crinoid (Sprinkle, 1976, Sprinkle and Collins, 1998), a cnidarian (Conway Morris, 1993) or an octocoral (Ausich and Babcock, 1998, 2000).
Species name:
Echmatocrinus brachiatus
Described by:
Description date:
Echmatocrinus – from the Greek echmatos, "holdfast, or stalk," and krinos, "lily." The name refers to the shape and the attachment part.
brachiatus – from the Greek brachiatus, "having arms," in reference to the presence of arms.
Type Specimens:
Holotype – GSC25962 in the Geological Survey of Canada, Ottawa, Canada.
Other species:
Burgess Shale and vicinity: none.
Other deposits: none.
Middle Cambrian, Bathyuriscus-Elrathina Zone (approximately 505 million years ago).
Principal localities:
The Walcott and Raymond Quarries on Fossil Ridge. A couple of specimens were also collected from the east side of Mount Field.
Brief history of research:
Echmatocrinus was first described by Sprinkle in 1973 as a primitive crinoid based on five specimens, four of which were originally collected by Walcott but never published. The fifth and best preserved specimen, now the holotype, was collected by the Geological Survey of Canada in 1967. Conway Morris reinterpreted Echmatocrinus as a possible cnidarian in 1993 and Ausich and Babcock (1998) suggested an octocoral affinity. Both of these newer interpretations were rejected by Sprinkle and Collins in a larger revision of all material available including new specimens collected by the Royal Ontario Museum (1998, but see Ausich and Babcock 1998).
The body consists of a small attachment disk (holdfast), a conical stalk ending into a wide cup (theca) with 7 to 10 short arms attached to the edge of it. Soft appendages are present on alternate sides of each arm. The stalk is at least the length of the cup and arms combined. A number of plates, presumably originally weakly mineralized cover the entire body. The plates are irregular in shape and might have sutures along them. Plates are more regular and pronounced in the arms. The arms are uniserial (i.e., they do not branch) and could fold on themselves. A surface texture or ornament is also present on the external parts of the plates. This ornament is interpreted by some authors as evidence of a stereom, the characteristic mineralized skeleton of all echinoderms. The locations of the mouth and anus are uncertain.
Echmatocrinus is very rare in the Walcott Quarry, where it makes up a negligible percentage (0.01%) of the community (Caron and Jackson, 2008). About two dozen specimens are known in total from three different localities.
Maximum size:
185 mm
Life habits:
Epibenthic, sessile
Feeding strategies:
Suspension feeder
Ecological Interpretations:
Echmatocrinus was attached to skeletal debris on the seafloor and evidently it needed hard substrates for growth. It is often found in clusters of several individuals thus showing a gregarious habit. Food particles were likely transported along the arms to a central mouth near the summit of the cup.

Welcome to the CCO Lift Director certification program. The NCCCO Lift Director Task Force that developed this certification program was made up of experts from all aspects of the crane industry—management, crane users, trainers, and safety supervisors—who together represent many thousands of hours of crane-related experience. These volunteers gave freely of their time and expertise with the primary goal of improving the quality of lift direction and promote additional training among lift directors.
Visit How to Test for instructions on applying for and taking CCO Written Exams.
Complete instructions and exam applications are also contained in the Candidate Handbook for each program.
Requirements for certification include the following:
CCO certification exams are designed for lift directors who have been trained and/or have extensive knowledge due to their experience in the crane industry. These exams are intended for candidates desiring to be lift directors.
Certified lift directors must be in good physical health, as verified by a medical professional, sufficient enough to handle the physical demands that directing lifts requires.
The Lift Director Written Examination consists of a Core Examination and Specialty Examinations for the Lift Director—Mobile Cranes and Lift Director—Tower Cranes certifications. Each candidate must also successfully pass the respective operator exam and/or the Rigger Level II exam; however, currently CCO-certified operators are not required to take the corresponding operator exam, as long as they maintain their certification status in good standing. Similarly, those who are certified as Rigger Level II do not need to take the Rigger Level II written exam.
The Core Lift Director Exam contains 40 questions that must be completed in 60 minutes. The Lift Director—Mobile Cranes Specialty Exam contains 15 questions that must be completed in 120 minutes. The Lift Director—Tower Cranes Specialty Exam contains 15 questions that must be completed in 60 minutes. To provide each candidate with a fair and standardized administration of the written examination(s), and to ensure the reliability and validity of the written examinations is maintained, it is not recommended that a candidate schedule written exams totaling more than six hours of testing time on the same day.
The table below details the exams necessary for each Lift Director certification.
The practical exam component of the lift director certification is incorporated in the written specialty exams through the use of scenario-based questions using custom-designed lift plans and crane load charts. These real-world scenarios test crane lift directors' abilities to read, understand, and interpret documents commonly seen in the field.
Certification is valid for five years. Candidates must pass Written Exam(s) in the category(s) for which they seek certification. Candidates may take their exams in any order. Candidates have 24 months after they pass their first exam to pass the corresponding exam(s). For example, a candidate passing the Lift Director Core Exam in January 2016 has until the end of January 2018 to pass the Lift Director—Mobile Cranes Specialty Exam.
If a certified Lift Director—Mobile Cranes subsequently becomes certified as a Lift Director—Tower Cranes by taking the appropriate written exam(s), the five-year certification period for Lift Director—Tower Cranes begins at the same time as he/she was originally certified (i.e., certifications for all Lift Director designations expire on the same date, regardless of when in the five-year certification period the candidate passed them). If the new designation is added within the final 24 months of his/her certification period, the certificant is exempt from recertifying for the new designation after five years; after that, however, certificants must recertify for all designations during the 12 months prior to their certifications' expiration date. This ensures that all of the certificant's lift director designations maintain the same expiration date.
Candidates for certification or recertification may petition for an extension of NCCCO's standard timeline(s). NCCCO staff shall have the discretion to make the initial determination of whether a requested extension should be granted. Petitions for an extension of time are generally denied absent a showing of extraordinary circumstances. Denials of such petitions may be appealed to the Appeals Committee.
The following policies apply to all CCO certification programs:
These policies are also covered in the Candidate Handbooks for each program.
Certified operators receive a laminated photo ID card at no cost when they certify for the first time and when they complete the requirements for recertification.
Replacement cards, cards showing certification in an additional designation, or updated cards for candidates who retake and pass a designation they previously failed may be obtained from NCCCO at a cost of $25. Cards may be ordered online or by contacting Jennifer Warner at email@example.com or 727-449-8525.
Certification cards remain the property of NCCCO, are not transferable, and must be returned to NCCCO upon demand.
CCO certification is valid for five years. Recertification candidates must complete all recertification requirements during the 12 months prior to their expiration date.

©2012 L'Oreal USA, Inc.
I've never considered myself a feminist, but the older I get, the more outspoken and interested I become in women and their well-being, especially the demographic that includes me: Women over 45. I've spoken with thousands of women, and I know this age group is far from grieving for our youth, empty nests or stiffening joints. Women want honest and frank discussions, not with Botoxed celebrities, but with authentic women who've walked in their shoes. Real women like themselves. As someone who's considered, but never had an injection of Botox or plastic surgery, other than breast reconstruction because of two mastectomies, I want to address the cosmetic companies that want our business.<PREVIEWEND>
Last month's MORE magazine had a misleading beauty cream ad, featuring actress, Diane Keaton. In the ad, Ms. Keaton appears to be the very best version of herself that we, or she, have ever seen. Not only does Ms. Keaton appear "ageless," no lines, sags or bags of any kind on her face, neck or hands, someone has removed the very things girlfriends of a certain age find appealing about her.
At every stage of our lives, we've seen ourselves, and the women we know, reflected in the characters Ms. Keaton portrays. During the sexual revolution of the 70's, she was the single woman who, unfortunately, went too far when Looking for Mr. Goodbar, and she was a neurotic twenty something in Annie Hall. We cheered when her character in The First Wives Club went from an insecure divorcee to an empowered woman, and more recently, she was the professionally successful but personally unfulfilled playwright in Something's Gotta Give. We love Diane Keaton because she's always seemed like the "real deal." Like most of us, she needs glasses, has wrinkles and has kept the vast majority of the face she's earned, so why did the cosmetic company feel the need to turn her into an idealized version of herself?
If a cosmetic company's products, in fact, can make us a "Keatonized" version of ourselves, then by all means; back your trucks up to my door and keep those creams and serums coming. If, however, you're attempting to con women via Photoshop, then I'm not interested in doing business with a company that thinks so little of me. By the way, in case companies don't know this, Diane Keaton is beautiful the way she is.
The beauty and fashion industry has long undermined the self-esteem of women. Just as they've sent the message to young girls that they need to be thin to be beautiful, by digitally morphing 66-year-old Keaton into someone she's not, the cosmetic company is sending the message that this is how women her age should look. Women over 45 are the best educated, most powerful generation in the history of the world, and it's time companies respect that we want role models, magazines, skin care creams and clothing that are age-appropriate.
We are loyal, valued customers who've survived sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll; the glass ceiling; in vitro fertilization; divorce, death, cheating husbands and breast cancer. Like Chico's retail clothing brand and MORE magazine, cosmetic companies that have turned the clocks back on girlfriends of a certain age, no longer make us feel we are valued. By using ageism and false advertising to appeal to our vanity, companies are betting we'll trust them with our skin care dollars.
"Celebrating 40 Years... Because 'you're worth it.'"
Really? I think you have us confused with our wallets.

"If you think you are too small to make a difference, try sleeping with a mosquito"
-Dalai Lama
I for one don't have an issue with the US military guarding the border. I'd rather have them doing that than stirring up $hit in Iran, Syria, Venezuela or any other foreign nation. In fact I'd like to see ALL US military members and assets recalled within the US to provide security for THIS nation. Let the others fend for themselves.
However having them travel inwards from the border to conduct missions to round up and apprehend illegals is another matter as American citizens will undoubtedly get mistakingly targeted by uneducated, untrained and heavily armed individuals.
Guarding a line in the dirt is one thing, acting as a police force is another.
Fight Entropy, build a wooden boat!
This is a MAJOR step toward the imposition of martial law.
I'll say it again: With all the investigations and the general sleaze combined with the toadying to every, single despot on the planet and the fact that being 'President' is the only thing between Donald F Trump's continued spitshow and dying in prison, his only rational choice is to impose martial law, dissolve the House (he'll leave the Senate), and declare himself Dictator for Life.
If he does not pull a coup, he will die in prison.
If he does not pull a coup, McConnell et al will die in prison.
Because he is completely amoral and solipsistic, his only rational choice is to pull a coup.
The US Constitution seems to be rapidly approaching the curious position where the only thing that will save her is a military coup.
If the military leadership take their oaths to defend her against all enemies, foreign and domestic, they will arrest that scumbag, and render him to Guantanamo, then suppress the civil unrest of the pinhead bursteds who believe Trump is their Messiah.
Good luck.
Rattling the teacups.
Oznabrag is right. Deputizing the military is a bad idea, and in the current circumstances, could be catastrophic.
As for the Insurrection Act, mentioned in the article :
The United State has had decades to improve "the ordinary course of judicial proceedings" to the point where it is "practicable to enforce the laws of the United States". The consequences of the failure to do so do not amount to an "insurrection". That would be like closing the courts and then declaring martial law because crime was going unpunished.The Insurrection Act allows the deployment of federal troops "whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings."
Five, 10 years from now different party. Youre going to have a workers party. -- Donald Trump, May 17, 2016
The duty of the military is to kill the people they are ordered to kill.
The Algorithm Is Watching
silly TV quote
"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."
From the very start, the US military has a tradition of NOT involving itself with the political addairs of the USA. Even the wisest figures in US military history, Washington himself, or Marshal, even Eisenhower, (notice I did not include McArthur) would consider long and extremely carefully before moving against their "Commander In Chief".
I agree with ozna, careful there lest you lose your republic. The Emperor donald is on the move and congress do not seem unhappy with his siezure of powers so far.
So we're headed for civil war? Then it's a good thing the 2nd Amendment and the NRA have been able to fight the attempts to disarm the public.
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,.."
We have to have an military, but now that military may be used against us. So therefore...
"the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
Because some day, you might have a civil war. Just ask Oznabrag.
Cause if you gonna have one, might as well have a gun.
"Simple minds discuss people, Average minds discuss things, and Great minds discuss ideas".
The two sides of the civil war will be the loyal troops killing the traitors in the ranks first. Then on to the traitorous civilians.
Five, 10 years from now different party. Youre going to have a workers party. -- Donald Trump, May 17, 2016
I know I didn't say there's going to be a civil war because of Trump.
"Simple minds discuss people, Average minds discuss things, and Great minds discuss ideas".
Keep calm, persistence beats resistance.
Just to backtrack a bit, it was not me, but rather Oznabrag who says we're headed to a civil war. I simply commented that those who may intend to take up arms against their government should be grateful for the NRA's support of their right to own said arms.
Would I take up arms to defend Trump if he were to not respect the outcome of the next election? Certainly not.
Of course liberals have yet to accept the results of the last one. First thing they wanted to do was a recount. Now they want to dismantle the electoral college. Beyond that, it was an investigation for collusion which failed, so now they're trying other avenues to remove the elected President. Whatever... just admit your trying to circumvent an election.
No... I'm pretty sure any cause I thought necessary to take up arms over, you'd agree with me, and I with you. Where that line lies is a bit undefined now, but if we come across it, I'm sure we'll recognize it together.
"Simple minds discuss people, Average minds discuss things, and Great minds discuss ideas".
Selective reasoning(?) is well in evidence. The NRA is not, and will not be, on the side of the Republic and Constitution.
And neither are donald and his courtiers/sycophants.
But not all members will support their position of course.
The elected 'President' has been engaged in obstruction of justice since the moment he took office.
I suppose you are willfully ignorant of the fact that nobody seems to know what is going on with the national security investigations into Trump.
I suppose you are willfully ignorant of the fact that Trump's 'charity' has been shut down for fraudulent self-dealing.
Your hero is a criminal, and you are OK with that.
You support that.
Rattling the teacups.
"I simply commented that those who may intend to take up arms against their government should be grateful for the NRA's support of their right to own said arms."
RW self-delusions at work. donald and his party would have the support of those likely to 'take up arms'.
They have been demonising the supposed 'left' for being a threat to the Constitution, the Republic and the nation when in reality the ideological hard right, the selective religionists, the bribed and power hungry and the gun lobbyists are the actual danger.
OK - so this sounds completely over the top - which I believe is what Brian is pointing out.
So - in this day & age, how does one tell what we really need to worry about? A few years ago, the concept of worrying about the military acting as police would've been absolutely laughable - except for a few tinfoil headgear wearers.
Now? I just don't know. Once upon a time, I'd have said that congress & the courts wouldn't allow it. Not anymore - McConnell & his lackeys seem hellbent on letting Trump do anything he pleases - rule of law be damned.
"If it ain't broke, you're not trying." - Red Green
A few years ago, Reagan got himself in hot water with a whole lot of people, including some Conservatives, who were outraged and horrified that he was using military personnel to enforce drug laws.
Remember Conservatives? I never thought I'd miss 'em.
BTW, Brian's opinion is merely a tweak, and has no real substance.
Rattling the teacups.
Taking up arms against the government is known as a 'revolution'.
When the citizens of a nation become so bitterly divided against one another that the people on Maple Street go over to Hickory Lane and kill everybody, that's a civil war.
It may interest you to know that our US Civil War was just baby poop compared to the modern version.
It probably doesn't interest you to know, though.
You seem quite happy in your ignorance.
It gives you a warm and fuzzy comfort zone from which to ridicule that which you refuse to understand.
I know from long experience that it is pointless to ask you any sort of meaningful question, but I would like to know what you mean by this statement:
I ask, because your position seems to be a little muddled.those who may intend to take up arms against their government should be grateful for the NRA's support of their right to own said arms. Would I take up arms to defend Trump if he were to not respect the outcome of the next election? Certainly not.
It is crystal clear, to me anyway, that those who would take up arms to defend Donald Trump were he not to respect the outcome of the next election, would be committing Treason of the first order, yet you think they should be grateful to the Constitution they would be actively destroying.
Rattling the teacups.
Sweet Mother of God reds are Stupid.
The best statement I've seen from this latest carnage came from a student who lived through it -
"My generation will not allow this to continue!"
Remember voting age is 18. Read it and weep reds.
"Simple minds discuss people, Average minds discuss things, and Great minds discuss ideas".

FERPA: Frequently Asked Questions
FERPA Issues For Faculty:
- How may I post class grades?
- Are there restrictions on returning assignments and examinations?
- Can I send final grades to students?
- Can I access student records?
- How do I know if a student has restricted access to his/her directory information?
- What if parents call me requesting information?
- Are there restrictions on writing letters of recommendation?
How may I post class grades?
The public posting of grades, either by the student's name, institutional student identification number, social security number, or any part there of, without the student's written permission, is a violation of FERPA. Even with names obscured, numeric student identifiers are considered personally identifiable information and therefore violate FERPA. Instructors can assign students confidential unique numbers or codes that can be used to post grades. However, the order of the posting must not be alphabetic.
Are there restrictions on returning assignments and examinations?
Leaving personally identifiable, graded papers or examinations unattended for students to view is no different from posting grades in the hallway. If these papers contain personally identifiable information, then leaving them unattended for anyone to see is a violation of FERPA if the instructor has not obtained the written permission of each student to do so. Possible solutions would be either to leave the graded papers (exams, quizzes, and homework) with an assistant or secretary who would ask students for proper identification prior to distributing them or to leave them in a sealed envelope with only the student's name on it, to be released to the student with proper identification. If handing graded papers during class, instructors should assure that students are not able to see any evaluative marks.
Can I send final grades to students?
Instructors can notify students of their final grades via the U.S. Postal Service if the information is enclosed in an envelope. Notification of grades via a postcard violates a student's privacy. Electronic notification of grades to individual students can be sent via email or posted on the web, so long as the student can only view his or her grade.
Can I access student records?
Faculty members are normally considered "school officials." But, the faculty member will have to demonstrate "a legitimate educational interest" in their request to access student records, e.g. advising students, retention study, etc. However, faculty do not have access to student academic records unless their normal job duties specifically require access.
How do I know if a student has restricted access to his/her directory information? It is best to assume that the student has restricted access to his/her directory information. Please remember it is MiraCosta College's general practice not to release student directory information. Please contact the Registrar for further information.
What if parents call me requesting information?
Such things as progress in a course, deficiencies in a subject area, scores and grades on papers, exams, or even telling anyone that an individual is enrolled in your class are all examples of personally identifiable information that make up part of the student's education record. This information is protected by FERPA.
Students may grant their parents (or others) permission to access their educational records by filing a "Release of Student Information to Parent/Guardian" form with the Admissions and Records Office.
Are there restrictions on writing letters or recommendation?
Written permission of the student is required for a letter of recommendation if any information included in the recommendation is part of the "education records" (grades, GPA and other non-directory information). The authorization remains in effect until it is cancelled by the student in writing. Faculty should only provide information requested in the letter.

A message from the President of Society of St. John Chrysostom —Western Region (www.lightoftheeast.org)
Members of the Society of St. John Chrysostom, in fact those baptized into any of the Apostolic Churches, have a very important responsibility this Fall 2012 season. American citizens will have the opportunity to vote for the President of the United States as well as for any number of other national, state and local offices. The mix of religion and politics in issues in this electoral season has made the usual politicking even more contentious and challenging than in past years.
In no manner shape or form is this message meant to support any particular candidate or political party. The only purpose of this message is to serve as a reminder for all to carefully discern the Mind of Christ and His Church on the critical moral issues raised in this election and to let Christ and the teachings of His Apostolic Churches be our guide in our witness by our political words, deeds and votes.
Unfortunately, some candidates want to usurp our right speak up for ourselves on issues. A particularly egregious statement I constantly hear from candidates for office from all political parties in the United States is, "What the American people want is. . . ." To have some modicum of honesty, politicians could at the very least somewhat qualify such arrogant rhetoric by saying: "Some American people want . . . ." I, for example, am one of these "American people." For a candidate to imply that I want something against the teachings of Christ and His Church is to take away the freedom of speech and religion granted to me – and all - by the constitution and, more importantly, granted by God to all to mankind by His making us in His image and giving us free will.
Despite the differences that still prevent full communion of all the Apostolic Churches, our witness should be informed by a Christ-like conscience. Furthermore, our conscience should be nurtured by deep prayer and by cultivating the virtue of discernment. It would be well for us to meditate on the counsel of St. Gregory of Sinai found in the Philokalia, Vol.4 (p.222): "A person is perfect in this life when . . . he receives the grace to assimilate himself to the various stages of Christ's life . . . . belief is knowledge or contemplation of the Holy Spirit . . . . scrupulous discernment in matters of dogma constitutes full knowledge of the true faith."i In union with His Church, may the Holy Spirit accompany all of us in this matter.
