Hello, I'm getting depressed over here, can't get anything done, so I figured I'd post one of my problems here, to see what happends.
Let's say I have this hotel, and I want to see what rooms are available, can I add my rooms to a list, and make them true & false, then only display 'true' rooms when checking what rooms are available?
I'm sorry I explain badly, it's getting late, but please, try to help.

It's hard to believe it's been a week since the horrific tragedy of the Newtown, Connecticut shootings. I heard about it while I was in San Francisco, wrapping up my filming at the Creativebug studios, and I saw an odd update from my husband on Facebook. He mentioned that he was almost in tears as he went to pick up our children from preschool and kindergarten. I noticed more heartbreaking postings from other friends on the site, and then checked the national news.
My heart sank. I could not, and still can't, believe that we live in a world where something like that can happen. The rest of the day, I was glued to any news information that I could find. I flew home that day and watched hours of CNN in flight. And even though my final flight didn't arrive in Dayton until almost midnight, my husband and I agreed that he would bring Aidan and Olivia to the airport to meet me.
And since that day, I've been kissing them an extra time, any chance I get.
I learned about the ABCS of Love from my friend Rachel of ImagineGnats. It's a project that is meant to encourage us all to find simple ways to share our love within our own communities and families. I choose to write about "k is for kiss your family members an extra time" because I think it is so important to show our loved ones just how much we care for them, every day. It's easy to get wrapped up in the hustle and bustle of every day life and there is so much in this world that we can not control, but we can add love to the world by simply taking the time to kiss our children just a little more each day.
Here's the complete list of the ABCs of Love which is full of ideas to help you bring good to the world by carrying out simple acts of kindness.
We haven't talked about the events of Newtown with our children. They are only four and six, and we don't watch the news with of them, so my husband and I agree that it's best that they don't know. Unless they bring it up, after hearing about it at school, I think it's best to not plant that seed of fear in their minds. And selfishly, I want to shield them from such evil for as long as I can.
Lastly, this is one of the most moving tributes I've seen for the victims of the shootings. Seeing the names and ages of each one of them really hits close to home for me.
So I will continue to kiss them more.

Ksar of Ait Ben Haddou
Brief Description
The ksar, a group of earthen buildings surrounded by high walls, is a traditional pre-Saharan habitat. The houses crowd together within the defensive walls, which are reinforced by corner towers. Ait-Ben-Haddou, in Ouarzazate province, is a striking example of the architecture of southern Morocco.
Brief synthesis
Located in the foothills on the southern slopes of the High Atlas in the Province of Ouarzazate, the site of Ait-Ben-Haddou is the most famous ksar in the Ounila Valley. The Ksar of Aït-Ben-Haddou is a striking example of southern Moroccan architecture. The ksar is a mainly collective grouping of dwellings. Inside the defensive walls which are reinforced by angle towers and pierced with a baffle gate, houses crowd together – some modest, others resembling small urban castles with their high angle towers and upper sections decorated with motifs in clay brick – but there are also buildings and community areas. It is an extraordinary ensemble of buildings offering a complete panorama of pre-Saharan earthen construction techniques. The oldest constructions do not appear to be earlier than the 17th century, although their structure and technique were propagated from a very early period in the valleys of southern Morocco. The site was also one of the many trading posts on the commercial route linking ancient Sudan to Marrakesh by the Dra Valley and the Tizi-n'Telouet Pass. Architecturally, the living quarters form a compact grouping, closed and suspended. The community areas of the ksar include a mosque, a public square, grain threshing areas outside the ramparts, a fortification and a loft at the top of the village, an caravanserai, two cemeteries (Muslim and Jewish) and the Sanctuary of the Saint Sidi Ali or Amer. The Ksar of Ait- Ben-Haddou is a perfect synthesis of earthen architecture of the pre-Saharan regions of Morocco.
Criterion (iv): The Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou is an eminent example of a ksar in southern Morocco illustrating the main types of earthen constructions that may be observed dating from the 17th century in the valleys of Dra, Todgha, Dadès and Souss.
Criterion (v): The Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou illustrates the traditional earthen habitat, representing the culture of southern Morocco, which has become vulnerable as a result of irreversible socio-economic and cultural changes
Integrity (2009)
All the structures comprising the ksar are located within the boundaries of the property and the buffer zone protects its environment. The earthen buildings are very vulnerable due to lack of maintenance and regular repair resulting from the abandonment of the ksar by its inhabitants. The CERKAS (Centre for the conservation and rehabilitation of the architectural heritage of atlas and sub-atlas zones) monitors, with difficulty, respect for the visual integrity of the property.
Authenticity (2009)
In comparison to other ksour of the region, the Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou has preserved its architectural authenticity with regard to configuration and materials. The architectural style is well preserved and the earthen constructions are perfectly adapted to the climatic conditions and are in harmony with the natural and social environment.
The large houses in the lower part of the village, with well conserved decorative motifs, are regularly maintained. The construction materials used still remain earth and wood. The inclination to introduce cement has so far been unsuccessful, thanks to the continued monitoring of the «Comité de contrôle des infractions» (Rural Community, Town Planning Division, Urban Agency, CERKAS). Only a few lintels and reinforced concrete escaped its vigilance, but they have been hidden by earthen rendering. Particular attention is also paid to doors and windows giving on to the lanes, to ensure that the wood is not replaced by metal.
Protection and management requirements (2009)
Protection measures essentially relate to the different laws for the listing of historic monuments and sites, in particular the Law 22-80 concerning Moroccan heritage. The Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou currently has a five-year management plan (2007-2012). This management plan is the result of two years of reflection and workshops involving all the persons and institutions concerned with the future of the site, in particular the local populations. The recommendations of this plan are being implemented. Furthermore, two management committees have been established (a local committee and a national one) in which all the parties are represented and cooperate in decision-making. As well as managing the property, CERKAS ensures coordination in the implementation of this management plan
Long Description
Aït-Ben-Haddou is an outstanding example of a southern Moroccan ksar illustrating the main types of construction to be observed in the valleys of Dra, Todgha, Dades and Sous.
The earthen constructions of southern Morocco are rightly celebrated, for they represent a particular family of pre-Saharan architecture, which is common to all countries of the Great Maghreb, Mauritania and Libya. It is not certain that the introduction of these striking constructions dates back to Islamization and to the foundation of Sijilmassa in 757, but it is probable (although the oldest testimonies do not appear to be from before the 17th century) that their structure and technique were propagated from a very early time in Djebel and in the valleys of the south.
The typology of this traditional habitat is extremely diversified. Large houses, called tighremt in Berber anddar or kasba in Arabic, bring together, around a central rectangular courtyard, four tall fortified wings, topped by angle towers. In some cases they allow entrance to lower connected houses situated around a second courtyard which has an enceinte.
The kasba of southern Morocco is the family unit of the wealthy classes and has varied forms and multiple functions. For the most part, they are country houses; the ground floor is used for agricultural purposes and the upper floors serve as living quarters in winter (upper portion) and summer (lower portion). Adjoining houses are reserved for agricultural workers, as in the Skura Oasis. The kasba can, however, also be a veritable palace-fortress, the seat of local power, as in the ancient region of Glaua, in Taurirt and in Teluet. It then takes on the dimensions of a small village.
In contrast to the kasba, the family unit is the ksar (plural ksour), which is mainly a collective grouping. Inside the defensive walls, which are reinforced by angle towers each with a zigzag-shaped gate, houses crowd together. Some are modest, others resemble small urban castles with their high angle towers whose upper portion presents decorative motifs in clay brick. But there are also buildings and community areas: collective sheep pens and stables, lofts and silos, market place, meeting room for the assembly of family chiefs, mosque, madrasas, etc.
Ait-Ben-Haddou is an extraordinary ensemble of buildings offering a complete panorama of pre-Saharan construction techniques (ramming mass worked into panel brick and bull header, ordinary moulded earth, clay brick, etc.) as well as a striking miniature of the architectural typology of southern Morocco. An astonishing loft-fortress overlooks the mountain against which the ksar is located. The lofts (agadir orighram) are not uncommon in Morocco, but their defensive character is not always as evident as in the present case by the choice of a site on high and a fortification system linking the loft with the village, conceived as the last bastion of resistance in the event of a siege.

Another 12-year-old boy arrested for 2nd Lewiston fire
Police: Fire began in Bartlett Street garage
Police have arrested a 12-year-old boy for arson in connection to Friday night's fire on Bartlett Street in Lewiston.
Officials from the Lewiston police and fire departments and the State Fire Marshal's Office announced the arrest Saturday afternoon.
Click here to watch the press conference.
Officials said the boy is being charged with four counts of arson. He is being held at the Long Creek Correction facility pending his first court appearance, which could be either Monday or Tuesday.
Maine Department of Public Safety spokesperson Steve McCausland said in a release that others may be charged in connection to the fire.
Lewiston police are asking parents to be aware of where their children are at all times. They will be enforcing a 10 p.m. curfew on weekdays and a midnight curfew on weekends.
According to Lewiston Fire Department officials, the buildings are still in the possession of investigators. They are not sure if they will need to be torn down.
Fire Marshal Joel Davis said investigators should wrap up their on-scene investigation sometime Saturday. He said additional interviews could take place at a later date.
Fire officials tell News 8 an overnight 3 alarm fire, which began in a garage on Bartlett Street and spread to four other buildings, is now out. Crews are still on the scene putting hot spots.
Three of the buildings are apartment buildings, a member of the battalion chief's office of the Auburn Fire Department said. One is a 2 1/2 story house. Another is a garage.
Click here for photos from the fire scene.
Crews responded to a heavy fire in a garage at 149 Bartlett St. around 10 p.m. Friday. Lewiston Fire Chief Paul LeClair told News 8's Norm Karkos the fire then spread to the rear section of 110 and 114 Pierce streets and from there spread to the attic of both buildings.
The roof of each building collapsed, which has not allowed firefighters to continue any operations on the upper floors. A condemned building at 116 Pierce was also impacted. That building was vacant at the time.
Lewiston Police Chief Michael Bussiere told News 8's Aly Myles that their main concern is the residents.
He said there are too many displaced for hotels and that officials opened Lewiston High School as a shelter. The American Red Cross is assisting the 105 victims.
Hudson Bus Lines has announced they are sponsoring a "Stuff The Bus" event on Sunday at the Shaw's Supermarkets in Auburn and Lewiston from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and at the Auburn Wal-Mart at that time as well. Donations of clothes and non-perishable food items will be accepted.
No serious injuries have been reported, however Chief LeClair said some tenants were treated for smoke inhalation.
The State Fire Marshal's Office is on scene and will investigate when the fire is put out. No cause of the fire has yet been determined but the fire did begin in the garage.
Stay with News 8 for updates to this developing story.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 8 (UPI) -- Russell Martin's tie-breaking, eighth-inning homer Sunday triggered a five-run outburst that carried the New York Yankees to a 7-2 playoff win over Baltimore.
With the opener of the American League Division Series tied 1-1 in the eighth, Martin clubbed a 2-0 fastball from Orioles closer Jim Johnson (0-1) into the left-field stands.
That opened the floodgates as the Yankees added a two-run double from Robinson Cano and run-scoring hits from Ichiro Suzuki and Nick Swisher.
CC Sabathia (1-0) earned the victory, meting out two runs on eight hits through 8 2/3 innings as AL East champion New York grabbed a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five ALDS.
Nate McLouth drove in both runs for AL wild card-winner Baltimore.
The start of the game was delayed 2 1/2 hours by rain.

Exploring a complex mobile app
- Download the sample code (ZIP, 18.7 MB)
This sample project is for a Flex mobile application that connects to server-side data to retrieve, update, add, and delete records in a database. To look at the code, right-click the dummy SWF file above in the browser and select View Source or download the sample files and view the source files in a text editor or follow the instructions to import the Flash Builder FXP. Multiple application versions are provided for PHP, Java, and ColdFusion servers.
This sample application is the same application built in the Flex Test Drive for Mobile. To walk through the creation of this application step by step or to build and deploy it yourself, follow the step by step instructions in those tutorials and/or videos.
Note: This sample retrieves data dynamically from a server at runtime. To add additional code to enable offline use, see the Creating a desktop application sample application, which syncs the remote data with a local database on the client and monitors connectivity.
Beginning with Flash Builder 4.5, you can now build and deploy Flex applications on mobile devices. The version 4.5 release supports creating applications for the Google Android platform. The version 4.5.1 update will additionally support creating applications for the Blackberry Tablet OS and Apple iOS platforms.
Flex mobile applications created for the Google Android and Blackberry Tablet platforms are AIR applications that are packaged as APK and BAR files. To run the application on the mobile device, the device must support and have installed the required version of the Adobe AIR runtime, the cross-operating system runtime used to install, manage, and run AIR applications. The AIR runtime may be preinstalled on the device or it can be downloaded from the Android Market or the Blackberry App World.
In contrast, mobile applications created for the Apple iOS platform, must be compiled into native iOS applications; Flash Player and the AIR runtime cannot be installed on the devices because Apple forbids Just-In-Time compilation on their devices. Flash Builder 4.5.1 will add the ability to package applications as native iOS IPA application files, converting ActionScript applications into Objective-C bytecode.
To create a mobile application with Flash Builder 4.5 or later, you use the New Flex Mobile Project dialog box to create a blank, a view-based application, or a tabbed application (see Figure 1).
Most mobile applications (especially those on mobile phones) are comprised of multiple screens, so you typically create a view-based or tabbed application. These application templates use the new ViewNavigatorApplication and TabbedViewNavigatorApplication containers that provide functionality and an API for easily creating and navigating between multiple views. As a user navigates through the application, the application switches to and from different views.
This sample application is a view-based application. When a view-based mobile project is created, three files are initially created: a main application MXML file, an MXML component, and an application descriptor file. The root tag of the main application file is a ViewNavigatorApplication tag:

As a user navigates through the application, the application switches to and from different views.
This sample application is a view-based application. When a view-based mobile project is created, three files are initially created: a main application MXML file, an MXML component, and an application descriptor file. The root tag of the main application file is a ViewNavigatorApplication tag:
<s:ViewNavigatorApplication xmlns:fx=http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009
firstView="views.FlexMobileTestDriveHomeView" ...>
It has a property
firstView , which references the MXML component that will be the first view (or screen) displayed in the application, in this case, a component called FlexMobileTestDriveHomeView located in the views package. FlexMobileTestDriveHomeView.mxml extends the View class:
<s:View xmlns:fx=http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009
You typically do not add content to the main application file, but instead add content to the views. The Flex 4.5 framework includes components and component skins that are optimized for mobile use and in some cases, enhanced to enable touch and throw scrolling. It also contains several new components specifically designed for mobile development. When you create a mobile project, the Flash Builder Component view displays a subset of Flex components reccomended for mobile use. For a list of the components that you can use in a mobile application, see Restrictions on using Spark and MX components in a mobile application
The third file is an application descriptor file, an XML file that contains information about the application including what the container operating system window should look like and how it should behave, what icon should be used for the application on the client device, what permissions the application should have, and more. This XML file is used when packaging the application for a specific platform. For Android and Blackberry Tablet applications, it is also used by the AIR runtime when it launches the application SWF contained in the application package on the device.
The first view, FlexMobileTestDriveHomeView, displays a list of employees retrieved from a database on a server. To review the different options for connecting to data on a server and using Flash Remoting, read the code explanation for the Day 10 complex sample application. This mobile sample application also uses Flash Remoting to connect to server-side data but instead of using the RemoteObject class directly, it uses a data service created by Flash Builder, EmployeeService located in the services.employeeservice package.
The generated data service, EmployeeService, is a client-side proxy for the server-side service. It extends the generated _SuperEmployeeService class, which uses the RemoteObject class. EmployeeService has public methods corresponding to each of the methods of the server-side class, so you get code-hinting and compile-time error checking when using the service, which you don't get when using RemoteObject directly.
public function _Super_EmployeeService()
_serviceControl = new mx.rpc.remoting.RemoteObject();
var operations:Object = new Object();
var operation:mx.rpc.remoting.Operation;
operation = new mx.rpc.remoting.Operation(null, "getEmployeeSummary");
operations["getEmployeesSummary"] = operation;
// more code
_serviceControl.endpoint = "http://localhost:8400/testdrive/messagebroker/amf";
// more code
public function getEmployeesSummary() : mx.rpc.AsyncToken
// code
Note that in the sample files the endpoint is set to a URL for a local server. This works when developing and simulating the application on a device. To actually run the application on a device, however, the endpoint must be set to a URL on a publicly available web server.
The Flash Builder data service wizard can also be used to create client-side value objects for the different types of data returned or manipulated by the server-side methods. In this sample, the Employee value object was created in the valueObjects package.
To create a data service in Flash Builder, you select Data > Connect to Data/Service and then select XML, HTTP, WebService, PHP, ColdFusion, or BlazeDS or LCDS for Java. The data you enter or select depends upon the type of service you are creating. The different versions of this sample application were created using PHP, BlazeDS, and ColdFusion services.
In FlexTestDriveMobileHomeView, an instance of the EmployeeService data service called employeeService is defined inside the Declarations block:
<employeeservice:EmployeeService id="employeeService"/>
When the List's
creationComplete event is broadcast (after the List has been created and all of its properties are set, including its size and position), the
empList_creationCompleteHandler() function is called and an
event object is passed to it.
<s:List id="empList" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"
creationComplete="empList_creationCompleteHandler(event)" .../>
empList_creationCompleteHandler() function inside the Script block calls the
getEmployeesSummary() method of the data service.
protected function empList_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
getEmployeesSummaryResult.token = employeeService.getEmployeesSummary();
When this code is executed, the application makes a call to the server. This happens asynchronously in the background; the user can still interact with the application.
To handle successful results, a CallResponder object is defined in the Declarations block:
protected function empList_creationCompleteHandler(event:FlexEvent):void
getEmployeesSummaryResult.token = employeeService.getEmployeesSummary();
When a service call is initiated, an instance of the AsyncToken class is created. To associate the CallResponder object with the service call, you set the CallResponder's
token property equal to the AsyncToken generated at the time the service call is made.
getEmployeesSummaryResult.token = employeeService.getEmployeesSummary();
Now when data is returned from the server, it is handled by the CallResponder object, which, in addition to getting its
lastResult property set also has its
result handler executed. The
result handler removes a busy indicator component:
protected function getEmployeesSummaryResult_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
... that was previously added to the application when it was instantiated.
<s:BusyIndicator id="busyIndicator" verticalCenter="0" horizontalCenter="0" symbolColor="red"/>
Finally, the
dataProvider property of the List component is set equal to an instance of the AyncListView class whose
list property is bound to the
lastResult property of the CallResponder object. This means that whenever the value of
getEmployeesSummeryResult.lastResult changes at runtime, the data associated with the List is updated and the List will repopulate itself with the new data.
dataProvider is the default property of the List component so it does not have to be included as a child tag; when left out, it is automatically set equal to the AsyncListView instance.
<s:List id="empList" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"
<s:AsyncListView list="{getEmployeesSummaryResult.lastResult}" .../>
labelField property could be used to specify what property of the List data should be displayed for each list item (as shown in the code above). The sample application, though, does not simply display the last name of the user in the List. Instead, it uses an item renderer to display each employee's image, full name, and title.
Many Flex components use item renderers to define how to display associated data in the component. You can define your own ItemRenderer class or use one of several included in the Flex framework. The Flex 4.5 framework includes IconItemRenderer, which been optimized for use on mobile devices. It displays four optional parts for each item in a list-based control: an icon on the left defined by the
iconField or
iconFunction property, a single-line text label next to the icon defined by the
labelField or
labelFunction property, a multiline message below the text label defined by the
messageField or
messageFunction property, and a decorator icon on the right defined by the
decorator property (see Figure 2).
The List component has an
itemRenderer property that you set equal to the ItemRenderer class to be used to render the data items. You can create the renderer as a separate ActionScript class that extends the IconItemRenderer class and set the List
itemRenderer property equal to the fully qualified name of that class. For convenience, so you don't have to create and maintain a separate file, you can also use the Component compiler tag to define a new class inline. In the code below, a new class is defined that extends the IconItemRenderer class.
<s:List id="empList" left="0" right="0" top="0" bottom="0"
<s:AsyncListView list="{getEmployeesSummaryResult.lastResult}"/>
<s:IconItemRenderer iconHeight="50" iconWidth="50" iconFunction="getPhotoURL"
labelFunction="getEmployeeFullName" messageField="title">
private function getPhotoURL(item:Object):String
return "http://localhost:8400/testdrive/photos/" + item.photofile;
private function getEmployeeFullName(item:Object):String
return item.firstname + " " + item.lastname;
To customize the text to be displayed in the label part of the renderer (instead of just displaying the value of whatever property is set as the
labelField ), you set the
labelFunction property equal to a function to be called before an item is displayed in the control, in this case,
getEmployeeFullName() .
To display an image next to the List label, you can set the IconItemRenderer
iconField ,
iconFunction ,
iconHeight , and
iconWidth properties. If the
dataProvider for the List control had a property containing the full URL for the image to be displayed, you could just set the
iconField property to the name of that property, but it doesn't; it has a property called
photofile equal to the name of the associated employee image, for example, jdoe.jpg. Thus, the
iconFunction property needs to be set instead of the
iconField property, very similar to how the
labelFunction property was used instead of a
labelField .
In addition to retrieving and displaying all the employees, FlexMobileTestDriveHomeView also has functionality to search for employees by last name. Because all the employees have already been retrieved, the local data could have been searched (or filtered); in this example, however, another call has been made to the server to illustrate additional data calls.
To create additional views for the application, you create MXML components that extend the View class. This sample application has three views: FlexMobileTestDriveHomeView, which displays a list of employees retrieved from a database on the server; DetailView, which displays the details for a selected employee; and AddEditView, which contains TextInput controls for adding or editing employees.
Note: All views use the EmployeeService data service to call additional methods of the server-side class. That code is very similar to the code explained in the previous Connecting to data section and will not be explained here.
To switch between views, you use the ViewNavigator class. The root container of the application, the ViewNavigatorApplication container, has a single child, a ViewNavigator. The ViewNavigator manages an ActionBar and a set of View instances using a stack-based history mechanism. The ActionBar component is displayed at the top of the application and appears above the views and consists of three areas: a navigator area, a title area, and an action area (see Figure 3).
Typically, you place components that let the user navigate the content (like back or home buttons) in the navigator area, a string or other components in the title area, and components that let users take an action in the action area.
In FlexMobileTestDriveHomeView, the title area of the ActionBar contains a TextInput control and the action area contains Search and Add buttons.
<s:View title="HomeView" ...>
<s:TextInput id="searchTxt" width="100%"
prompt="Employee Name" enter="doSearch(event)"/>
<s:Button id="searchBtn" click="doSearch(event)" .../>
<s:Button id="addBtn" click="addBtn_clickHandler(event)".../>
In DetailView, the title area of the ActionBar contains the title of the view (the name of the selected employee) and the action area contains Edit and Delete buttons.
<s:View title="{getEmployeesByIDResult.lastResult.firstname} {getEmployeesByIDResult.lastResult.lastName}" ...>
<s:TextInput id="searchTxt" width="100%"
prompt="Employee Name" enter="doSearch(event)"/>
<s:Button id="editBtn" click="editBtn_clickHandler(event)" .../>
<s:Button id="deleteBtn" click="deleteBtn_clickHandler(event)".../>
In AddEditView, the title area of the ActionBar contains only the string "Add Employee" or "Edit Employee" depending upon which state is selected.
To switch between views, you use the ViewNavigator's
pushView() ,
popView() , and
replaceview() methods to "push," "pop," and "replace" views on and off the navigation view stack.
When an employee is selected in FlexMobiletestDriveHomeView, DetailView is pushed on the stack.
protected function empList_changeHandler(event:IndexChangeEvent):void
The first argument to
pushView() is the view to display, DetailView. The second optional argument is any data you want to pass to the view. In this application, you want to pass the
id of the selected employee,
empList.selectedItem.id . When you pass a second argument to this method, the
data property of the View class created (in this case DetailView) is populated with that value.
When the Add button is clicked, AddEditView pushed on the stack.
protected function addBtn_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
Similarly in DetailView, when the Edit button is clicked, AddEditView is pushed on the stack and its
data property set to the selected employee.
protected function editBtn_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
When the Delete button is clicked, however, no new views are added to the stack; instead, the existing view is popped off the stack and the user is returned to FlexMobileTestDriveHomeView.
protected function deleteEmployeeResult_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
Similarly in AddEditView, when the Cancel button is clicked, AddEditView is popped off the stack and the user returned to the previous view, either FlexMobileTestDriveHomeView or DetailView.
protected function cancelBtn_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
When the Create button is clicked, the existing view is popped off and the DetailView pushed on.
protected function createEmployeeResult_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
navigator.pushView(DetailView,event.result as int);
When the Create button is clicked, the existing view is popped off and the DetailView pushed on.
navigator.replaceView(DetailView, event.result as int);
Applications built with Flex can target different mobile devices, each with different screen sizes, resolutions, and DPIs (dots or pixels per inch, also called the pixel density). Flex simplifies the process of producing resolution-independent applications by providing DPI-independent skins for mobile components and providing auto-scaling of your application (if you want) for different pixel density devices.
Flex classifies devices into three DPI categories: 160, 240, and 320. Actual devices come in a wide range of pixel densities, but for the purposes of layout it makes sense to group these into categories; for example, 238dpi or 249dpi displays are essentially equivalent to a 240dpi device. If you set a new
applicationDPI property for the ViewNavigatorApplication tag (or any other Application or subclass tag), to one of these values, your layout is assumed to be tuned for that DPI and if it runs on a device of a different DPI classification, the entire application will automatically be scaled so that the user interface appears at the same approximate physical size on that device.
In the sample application, the
applicationDPI property of the ViewNavigatorApplication has been set to 160. Note that in general it is better to scale upwards rather than downwards due to artifacts with vector rendering.
<s:ViewNavigatorApplication firstView="views.FlexMobileTestDriveHomeView" applicationDPI="160" ...>
Text scales well as its font size and not the text itself is scaled. Bitmaps, on the other hand, will not upscale well, so a new MultiDPIBitmapSource class has been added to the Flex 4.5 framework, which provides a way to specify different bitmaps to use on devices of different DPI classifications.
In the sample application, the graphics for all the buttons have been specified using the MultiDPIBitmapSource class. Here is the code for the search and add buttons in FlexMobileTestDriveHomeView:
<s:Button id="searchBtn" click="doSearch(event)">
<s:MultiDPIBitmapSource source160dpi="@Embed('assets/search160.png')"
<s:Button id="addBtn" click="addBtn_clickHandler(event)">
<s:MultiDPIBitmapSource source160dpi="@Embed('assets/add160.png')"
To create applications that scale well, you should also try to avoid using constraints with absolute pixel values (or scale them appropriately using
applicationDPI and
runtimeDPI properties).
The DetailView component contains functionality for integrating with the device, providing a way for users to send emails, send text messages, and make telephone calls from the application.
To email, text, and call, you use the
navigateToURL() function in the flash.net package to make a request to the parent container, in this case, the device's operating system. In web and desktop applications, this function is typically used to open or replace browser windows (by passing a URL value). It can also be used to send emails (by passing a
mailto link) in which case a mail program is opened to send an email. You can use the same syntax to send an email from a mobile application:
The device's default email program is launched (or you are prompted to select an appropriate application).
navigateToURL() function has one required argument, an instance of the URLRequest class. The URLRequest constructor has one optional argument, a url string, which in this case is a
mailto string with the selected employee's email.
Similarly to send a text message, you just change the protocol specified in the URL from
mailto to
sms :
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("sms:"+getEmployeesByIDResult.lastResult.cellphone));
Lastly, to make a telephone call, you change the protocol to
tel :
To build the application, you write your code and run and debug your application just as you do for a web application. When you run the application though, Flash Builder launches a tool called the Air Debug Launcher (ADL), which simulates the application running on a specific device without you first having to install it on a device. You can use the ADL Device menu to simulate device actions (like pressing the Back button or rotating a device) and you can click and drag in a list to emulate scrolling.
To specify which mobile device is simulated, you create launch configurations in Flash Builder by selecting Run > Run Configurations (see Figure 4). For a particular configuration, you specify whether to launch the application on the desktop (simulating a specific device) or on a device connected to your computer via USB. Typically, you create multiple run configurations for devices with different pixel densities and simulate the application using each. Because your monitor is one particular pixel density, you will see this implemented in the simulator as different size windows with the application scaled to the appropriate size and using the appropriate multiresolution assets.
You can view common device configurations in Flash Builder by clicking the Configure button in the Run Configurations dialog box (see Figure 5).
To run the application on a device, you need to enable USB debugging on the mobile device and then attach it via a USB port on your computer. If you are using Windows, you will also need to follow the prompts to install a device driver. If you are accessing remote data as in this application, you need to make sure your services are installed on a publicly available web server, change the project's root URL to point to this server (see Figure 6) (this will modify the data service's generated endpoint), and update any other URL paths as needed (in this application, you would need to update the photo URLs).
At this point, you could create a run configuration to run on a device and a debug version of the application will be installed and launched on the attached device. Similarly, to debug the application on the device, you would create and run a debug configuration.
If you packaged and installed the application at this point, the name of the application would appear in the operating system as the name of the MXML file and a default application icon would be used to represent the application.
You specify custom names and icons in the application descriptor file, FlexMobileTestDrive-app.xml.
You provide multiple PNG files of various sizes so the operating system can select the one that most closely matches the size it needs.
When you are ready to package and deploy the application, you select Project > Export Release Build just as for a web application, but in this case, Flash Builder launches the ADT (the AIR Development Tool) to create application packages for the selected target platforms. To package, you need a code signing certificate for each target platform.
To create APK packages for Google Android, you can self-sign your application or purchase an AIR Developer Certificate from ChosenSecurity, GlobalSign, Thawte, or VeriSign. To submit the application to the Android Market, you need to register as an Android developer.
To create BAR packages for Blackberry Tablet OS, you need to register for code-signing keys. To submit the application to the BlackBerry App World, you must also create a vendor account and submit the product for evaluation by RIM.
To create IPA packages for Apple iOS, you need join the iOS Developer Program and obtain a code-signing certificate, password, and provisioning profile from Apple. To submit the application to the Apple App Store, you also need a distribution provisioning profile.
Remember, in order for applications to run on the Google Android and Blackberry Tablet OS platforms, the device must have the appropriate version of the AIR runtime installed. If a device is attached via USB when you package the application, the application will be installed on the device and if necessary, the AIR runtime installed.

Christmas Under Islam: Hardly a Season to be Jolly
Earlier I discussed how mosques, some of which breed radicalization and serve as terrorist bases, flourish in America, while churches are increasingly targeted and destroyed in the Muslim world, especially the Middle East, the cradle of Christianity.
This pattern -- religious appeasement of Muslim minorities in the West, religious hostility for Christian minorities under Islam -- continues and manifests itself in other ways.
Consider Christmas. The same appeasement that allows a "victory mosque" to be erected near Ground Zero, where jihadists killed nearly 3,000 Americans, compromises one of Christianity's most important events.
For instance, a "Montreal suburb has decided to remove a nativity scene and menorah from town hall rather than acquiesce to demands from a Muslim group to erect Islamic religious symbols." Contrast this with Iran, where many churches were "ordered to cancel Christmas and New Year's celebrations as a show of their compliance and support" for "the two month-long mourning activities of the Shia' Moslems," a reference to the bloody flagellations and self mutilations Shias perform in memory of Imam Hussein.
Likewise, the University of London held a Christmas service featuring readings from the Quran — Islam's holy book that unequivocally condemns the Incarnation, which is precisely what Christmas celebrates. Meanwhile, Islam's clerics in the West proclaimed things like "saying Merry Christmas is worse than fornication or killing someone," since doing so is to "approve of the biggest crime ever committed by humanity": the belief that God became man on Christmas. As the cleric makes clear, these are not his words, but rather the words of Islam's most authoritative clerics.
Nor are these just words. Around the Muslim world, Christmas time for Christians is a time of threats, harassment, and fear. One can point to any number of Muslim attacks on Christians to prove this — whether churches attacked, burned, or forced into closure; whether Muslim converts to Christianity beat, killed, or imprisoned; whether Christians abused on "blasphemy" charges; or whether just sheer violence and killings of "infidel" Christians. (See "Muslim Persecution of Christians" for a list of December's abuses alone.)
More telling, however, are the attacks that specifically targeted or revolved around Christmas:

I've Been Tracking My Cycle Meticulously For 2 Years & I've Learned A Lot About My Hormones
I'm the health editor at mindbodygreen, so it probably won't surprise you much to learn that I'm a huge nerd about health. I've been obsessed with all things wellness and integrative medicine since high school—and there's nowhere that my obsession is stronger than in the world of women's health and hormones.
I started tracking my monthly hormone cycle off and on a few years ago and have been doing so meticulously for about two years. During this time, I've learned a lot about my health and gained some important hormone knowledge that I think we should all be walking around with.
How to track your cycle.
Back in the day, women used to track their cycle by hand or in a calendar (some even used graph paper to plot their basal body temperature data by hand, which you'll learn more about later). These days, though, tracking your cycle is painfully easy. You just download a cycle tracking app—many of them are free!—and then you start adding data. The most important info to keep track of is your period start and stop date, any spotting you experience, and many apps also have a place for you to enter symptoms like moodiness, breast tenderness, or hormonal breakouts.
Some popular apps include MyFlo and Clue, but if you want to really get into the details of your monthly hormone cycle, you can use an app like Dot or Natural Cycles, which are actually being studied (or in Natural Cycles' case, have been approved by the FDA) as a form of contraception. Science has come a long way, and these apps are getting extremely good at getting to know your body and predicting your fertile days, making them a viable option for preventing pregnancy (more on that here).
Taking your cycle tracking to the next level.
Taking your cycle tracking to the next level basically just means adding additional data, like basal body temperature readings and LH test results. I use Natural Cycles as my tracker, so I take my temperature every morning right when I wake up. This helps the app identify your ovulation day since your temperature spikes (about a half a degree to a full degree) after you release an egg.
You can also take LH tests and add those to your cycle tracking routine. LH stands for luteinizing hormone, which is the one that controls the production of estrogen from the ovaries. About two weeks into your cycle, there's a surge in LH, causing the ovaries to release an egg during ovulation. You can check for the LH surge with an at-home test and then add that data to your cycle tracker as well. This will improve the strength of the data, acting as a double confirmation of ovulation, which is a great bonus if you're using cycle tracking as your primary birth control method.
What you can learn from tracking your cycle.
When I started tracking, I wasn't sure exactly what I would learn, but I knew I wanted to find out everything I could about how my hormones were working month by month (again, I'm a big nerd). In a practical sense, you'll learn if your cycle is regular and if it's a length that is considered "normal." This seems basic, but it's more important than you might think. An irregular cycle, or one that is very short or extremely long, can be a sign that something isn't quite working and might encourage you to go see an OB/GYN or endocrinologist to get some answers.
One of the most interesting things I noticed was that my intake of caffeine, sugar, and refined carbs influenced my cycle and the symptoms I experience. The unhealthier my lifestyle is one month, the more I tend to pay for it at the end of my cycle in the form of PMS symptoms. It's not a perfect science, but I have been doing it long enough to notice a connection. In addition, if I happen to come down with a cold or catch some sort of virus, my period is often late. Interesting, right?
Many of the apps let you enter data about the symptoms you experience throughout the month and some even send you push notifications that warn you in future months that those symptoms are likely on the way. As a result, I've gotten extremely good at predicting what will occur and when. For example, about three days before my period starts, I have a day when I'm borderline depressed and extremely emotional. I also start feeling a little headachy for about two or three days. I've been combating this with plenty of omega-3s, turmeric, and magnesium glycinate supplements (plus an Epsom salt bath or two!).
For a normal not-quite-so-health-obsessed person, this might feel like a lot of work to learn basic info like when you're ovulating and when you're period is going to arrive. And I will admit that I haven't learned anything completely life-changing from tracking my cycle in this way. What I have gained, however, is a massive sense of empowerment when it comes to my hormone health. I know what's happening when and how my lifestyle influences symptoms. I feel like I really know my body, and that's motivation enough for me. Let the nerdiness continue!

Earthwatchers studied a shrinking population of bottlenose dolphins in Greece's Amvrakikos Gulf.
Have a question?
How would you prefer us to contact you?
By EmailBy Phone
Earthwatch volunteers tracked bottlenose dolphins in Mediterranean waters of Greece to help scientists understand and combat the main threats to them and their ecosystem.
Earthwatchers experienced traditional Greek life the charming village of Vonitsa on the Amvrakikos Gulf. Every day, they joined researchers to conduct surveys of bottlenose dolphins from a small research vessel.
The team scanned the waters of the Mediterranean for signs of dolphin activity. Once dolphins were found, the team followed the dolphin groups, recording information on their numbers, group composition, behavior, movement patterns, and interactions with the area's fishing industry. The team identified individual dolphins by looking at distinguishing natural marks such as scars, bite marks, nicks, and notches on their dorsal fins.
Often volunteers found themselves in the middle of a dolphin group, occasionally including calves or newborns. Dolphins often approached the research boat to "bow ride" (be carried along with the boat in the water just below its bow), even when the boat was moving slowly, so volunteers were able to see them up close and, on occasion, hear their echolocation clicks and whistles.
Back at the field station, volunteers helped enter data and prepare digital images of dolphins' dorsal fins to identify which individuals were seen in the field. The day ended with time to relax and enjoy the quiet beauty of the Mediterranean coast.
The project provided essential data for the management of marine ecosystems and supported conservation efforts in the Mediterranean region.
The number of dolphins in Greek waters has declined, but Earthwatchers have helped to reverse the trend.
The Amvrakikos Gulf has the highest reported density of bottlenose dolphins in the Mediterranean. The nutrient-rich waters of the gulf sustain a rich biodiversity where charismatic animals - including sea turtles and a variety of seabirds - can be easily encountered. In the past decade, however, the number of dolphins in the gulf has sharply declined. Researchers determined that this decline is linked to overfishing.
Scientists and volunteers involved with the Dolphins of Greece project worked to preserve the viability of coastal dolphins in western Greece. Using long-term monitoring by state-of-the-art techniques, they investigated how dolphins interact with their environment and how human activities - particularly fisheries and pollution - affect them.
This marine conservation project highlighted threats dolphins face from fisheries and pollution.
The project provided essential data for the management of marine ecosystems, promoted marine conservation in Greece, and supported conservation efforts in the wider Mediterranean region. The research shed light on the local status of dolphins and identified the main threats affecting them. As a result, scientists and local communities have begun a number of conservation initiatives and hope to spur the local governments to officially protect these habitats and the dolphins that depend on them.
Vonitsa, a traditional seaside village, was home to the expedition's field station. A large medieval castle looms over the village and offers views of the central part of the Amvrakikos Gulf, which is among the most important wetlands in Europe because of its diversity of seabirds and other wildlife. Its pebble beaches are surrounded by densely wooded mountains, verdant plains, lakes and rivers, and lively villages. It is an amazing place for bird-watchers, though its highlights include the opportunity to encounter bottlenose dolphins and loggerhead sea turtles.
To the west of Vonitsa lies the charming city of Preveza. Nikopolis, north of Preveza, is one of the most interesting archaeological sites in the area. The Ionian Sea boasts a number of beautiful islands, like Lefkada, with its long, clean beaches and crystal-clear water. A ferry connects Lefkada to the island of Ithaka, the home of the famous Odysseus (Ulysses).
This is a summary:
Volunteers were trained in the use of field equipment, including hand-held computers, binoculars, timers, and GPS devices. They were also treated to discussions and seminars on topics including cetacean life history, threats faced by cetaceans and marine ecosystems worldwide, photo-identification of dolphins, interactions between dolphins and fisheries, cetacean conservation strategies, and data analysis.
Each day, volunteers climbed aboard a boat to work with the researchers on dolphin surveys, data storage, and dolphin identification. The teams looked for dolphins while also recording observations of sea turtles, birds, and other animals to provide a more accurate picture from which to design ecosystem-based conservation initiatives. Back at the field station, volunteers helped to process the dolphin images collected in the field and analyze them, sometimes helping to identify individual dolphins from photographs of natural marks on their dorsal fins.
Staff informed volunteers about local lifestyles and customs, to support teamwork and friendly relationships with the local community. Opportunities were available to take time off to explore the area and travel to some of the nearby towns and islands.
Volunteers observed dolphins from inflatable research vessels; collecting data on group size, composition, and behavior.

How do I determine my bracelet size?
Step 1: Measure your wrist firmly just below the wrist bone, where one would normally wear a bracelet, with a flexible measuring tape or a strip of paper.
Step 2: If you are using a plain strip of paper, then measure that paper strip with a ruler to determine your wrist size.
Step 3: Match your wrist size to the options in the Size drop down box above.
If in doubt, go up a size. Example; a 16.5cm wrist you could choose a M or L bracelet. Please note we are happy to exchange so you can get the right fit.

Too many passwords to remember? Do you forget passwords? Do you keep passwords written down? Writing down password is a bad idea. I cannot remember more than a handful of passwords. So what is the solution to password?
Use personal password manager to store all passwords in a securely encrypted file. This file is protected by a single master password. At the end of day you need to remember only one password. Here is list of free and open source software:
- Password Safe – Password Safe is an Open Source (free) tool that allows you to have a different password for all the different programs and websites. It only works on Microsoft Windows.
- KeePass – The free, open-source, light-weight and easy-to-use password manager that runs on Microsoft Windows. AES and Twofish are most secure encryption algorithms currently known and used in this software.
Only drawback – does not runs on Linux or Mac OS X. It runs on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux
- Password Gorilla – A Tcl/TK PasswordSafe clone that runs on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and most flavors of Unix, including Linux and Solaris (note that it requires Tcl/TK to run).
- pwsafe – It is a unix commandline program that manages encrypted password databases. Good for remote access over ssh.
- Use gpg command, which is encryption and signing tool.
- You can also use KDE wallet manager
- Revelation is a password manager for the GNOME 2 desktop.
gpass for Gnome
GPass is a simple GNOME application, released under the GNU GPL licence, that lets you manage a collection of passwords. The password collection is stored in an encrypted file, protected by a master-password.
Use apt-get command to install gpass:
$ sudo apt-get install gpass
Make sure you backup ~/.gpass directory.
revelation – GNOME2 Password manager
Use apt-get command to install revelation:
$ sudo apt-get install revelation
Start revelation from menus or type:
$ revelation &
pwmanager – Password Manager for KDE
With PwManager you can easily manage your passwords. PwManager saves your passwords blowfish-encrypted in one file, so you have to remember only one master-password instead of all. Instead of the master-password you can use a chipcard, so you don't have to remember a password to access the list. To install pwmanager for KDE type:
$ sudo apt-get install kde-pwmanager
Start pwmanager from K menu or type:
$ pwmanager &
Password Gorilla
My personal favorite is Password Gorilla as it can be used to store any logins and passwords. Retrieve them by either sending them to the Clipboard.
Password Gorilla installation
Download it from http://www.fpx.de/fp/Software/Gorilla/download/gorilla-1.3.zip
# cd /opt/
# wget http://www.fpx.de/fp/Software/Gorilla/download/gorilla-1.3.zip
Install two tcl modules:
# apt-get install itcl3 bwidget
Configure Password Gorilla:
# cd /opt
# mkdir gorilla
# cd gorilla
# unzip ../gorilla-1.3.zip
# ./configure
Run Password Gorilla:
$ ./gorilla &
You will get a dial box asking password and database name. Since this is first run, you need to cancel dialog box. Click on menu File > New to create a new database and a password, If you lost master password there is no way you can get back your login information. So keep password database file at safe place.

Immigrants have been making their way to Europe for tens of thousands of years. The first modern humans the first real immigrants came north from Africa through the Middle East. Since then, periodic waves of migrants have helped redefine Europe's population, its food, its knowledge. After World War II, most migrants headed to northern Europe but as the south has prospered over the past 20 years, it has drawn in growing numbers of people looking for a better life. By the mid-2000s, migrants headed for southern Europe accounted for more than 60% of the continent's new arrivals. They swung the hammers during Spain's construction boom, changed diapers in Greece and worked Italy's fields.
European immigration policy has become more bureaucratic over the years. In the south, where enforcement of rules has been more lax and informal economies are large, working illegally is often easier than getting proper permits.
The economic crisis will slow the flow but is unlikely to undo the demographic shift, not least because the birthrate among immigrants is much higher than the general population's. "If there's a lesson that can be learned from the northern European experience, it's that temporary migrants tend to remain," says Joaquín Arango, professor of sociology at the Complutense University of Madrid. Here's another: when a society marginalizes its newest members, trouble ensues. Southern Europe needed its immigrants. Now it needs to find a place for them. TIME takes a look at three countries just beginning to grapple with that fact.

Moncler Genius Hats
Bearing the aphorism 'one house, different voices,' Moncler Genius was conceived by Remo Ruffini as a hub for the fashion industry's foremost minds. Taking a curatorial approach to design, the collaborative project invites eight designers to reimagine the Moncler identity via a series of individual collections in monthly roll-outs. First up, 7 Moncler Fragment Hiroshi Fujiwara sees designer and key industry influencer Hiroshi Fujiwara bring the language to contemporary Japanese streetwear to the venerable Moncler brand. Taking on a range of heritage designs with his ever-irreverent sensibility, the Fragment label mastermind melds grunge and après-ski signifiers to deliver a streamlined, Harajuku-ready urban explorer aesthetic. Vivid colors are offset with deftly chosen neutrals and an abiding penchant for typographic looks is expressed with text-heavy designs and a new minimalist take on the classic Moncler felted logo patch. Exploring the notion of 'dress as habitat,' 5 Moncler Craig Green sees the cutting-edge UK designer bring his penchant for workwear and utilitarianism to Moncler's most iconic pieces. Reworked down-filled puffer jackets feature blown-out proportions, floor-length silhouettes, and ultra-functional harness straps.

volkswagen polo Expert Review
Since 2007, Volkswagen revolutionized the German engineering in India. Volkswagen cars such as Passat, Jetta, Touareg, Beetle, Polo, Vento, Ameo showed remarkable excellence in its features and looks. To enter the hatchback market in 2009, Volkswagen launched the Polo and since then, it has been winning hearts of many people in India, thanks to its innovative features. Volkswagen Polo comes in three variants of Trendline, Comfortline and Highline with 6 colour options of Blue Silk, Candy White, Toffee Brown, Flash Red, Carbon Steel and Reflex Silver. Things you would like in Volkswagen Polo are superior build quality and standard safety features like ABS & airbags and since Volkswagen pays special attention on build quality and safety features, the price of the car is bit on higher side, when compared to its rivals. And since we at MYNEWCAR.IN also pays special attention on the safety features, we recommend you to buy the top of the line Highline variant.
