Should You Jump On The Bandwagon and Order Those Free Business Cards or Premium Business Cards?
28 Jul
Free Business Cards | Use of Business Cards
When you hear people talking about business growth, joint ventures, strategic alliances and networking, the one thing that will never go away is the use of business cards. Business cards are a way to extend the conversation that you have when you meet someone new and would like to potentially work with them in the future, maybe as a client, a business partner to simply to follow up for personal reasons.
The use of business cards has not changed, but the one thing that has changed is the quality, style and new advances in technology that changes to keep making business cards better and better.
Free Business Cards | How Much Should You Pay for Business Cards?
But the question is how much should you pay for business cards?
First of all there are many sites on the internet where you can buy business cards online that offer free business cards. This is a great way for the particular business to get you as a new client AND a great way for them to advertise their business.
Free Business Cards | Factors to Keep in Mind
When ordering free business cards, here are some factors that you should keep in mind.
Depending on the company, you can order free business cards and just pay shipping, but there is a catch. The catch is that although you now have free business cards, the back of your card will be stamped with the company's information, for example "Get free business cards at Vista Print". So, they are using you as vehicle to promote their business in exchange for the free business cards.
The quality of the card is generally the lowest quality that they have in stock. When you order business cards online, there are generally two options, standard business cards or premium business card. These card have different quality paper stock, the premium business cards have a thicker card stock, and portray a higher quality business card, instead of the type of card you can print on your home printer.
When ordering free business cards you are also giving off the impression that you are broke or cheap and can't afford to purchase business cards. With this in mind, who would want to do business with someone that is broke or cheap?
Having a cheap, free business card also gives off the impression that you don't take your business seriously and may be seen as just a hobby or something that you do in your spare time. You may be seen as someone who does want to invest in their own business.
Free Business Cards | Portray the Proper Image
These days you can get such great deals with business cards, there really isn't any excuse to not spend a little money and portray the proper image when handing out your business cards.
By using online coupons you can order premium business cards online with discounts up to 40% off.
Ask yourself the question on if someone handed you a low quality stock paper business card that feels like it was printing on a home printer and it has "Get free business cards at Vista Print" printed on the back of the card…would you want to do business with this person?

Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds (Vita) Review
Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds is the remaster of the first entry of the Hakuoki series which came out 9 years ago in Japan. Since then, the Hakuoki franchise has released numerous games and spin-offs including an anime television series. Kyoto Winds includes extra characters, an extended plot and improved graphics from the original game. Fans of the otome genre are likely already familiar with this title and know exactly what to expect.
For those unfamiliar with Hakuouki, the main protagonist, by the default name of Chizuru Yukimura, travels to Kyoto in search of her father who had mysteriously disappeared. By chance, Chizuru becomes involved in a whirlwind of incidents which hurled her into the world of the Shinsengumi. Hakuouki is not exactly the lovey-dovey, sappy type of visual novel as you would expect. Instead, there is a lot of historical references, some accurate but most of it fiction of course, tied together by an engaging storyline and in-depth characters. The secondary portion of the game is to build a romantic relationship with one of the character of your choosing. This is entirely optional; though, I am not sure why anyone would play a visual novel otherwise.
Gameplay is as straightforward as expected from a visual novel. For those that are not familiar with the genre, they are basically a digital version of a choose-your-own-adventure book with superb voice overs. Each romanceable character has a 'route' and pursuing these routes will depend on how you interact with them. The romance meter will increase based on the the rapport you build with them. Each decision you make contributes to the ending. If you play like me, there is a lot backtracking to get the perfect answer for the correct route. Luckily, there is a quick save and quick load button to help with this. With numerous playable routes, games like these generally have high replayability, and Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds boast over 12 possible paths to explore. After the first playthrough, an option becomes available that allows you to start a route from any location of choice. This encourages replayability as it cuts out the unnecessary sections of the game and allows you to skip right to the action.
The graphics and artwork found within the game are simply stunning for visual novel standards. Kyoto Winds uses the standard visual novel type graphics with stills and text boxes. However, there are moving effects which accompany the stills; making the visuals more interesting to look at and less bland. These subtle effects in the foreground give a breath of life to the aesthetics. As for the updated UI, it adds a rather unique freshness to this remake, but I found some minor quirks when trying to save. Although the quick save/load option is readily available with just a press of the L1 and R1 buttons, I had to poke around the UI until I was able to access a way to properly save my game. In addition, the quick save/load button does not actually save the game but allows you to return to a previous save state. You have to hard save the game to retain your progress. This is something I found out the hard way; losing about an hour of gameplay.
Hakuoki: Kyoto Winds is a great title to start for fans that are new to the series or to the otome genre overall. The rich story can provide hours of entertainment as you try to romance each character and unlock every beautiful piece of art. The additional visuals and overhauled UI give the game a more refined and updated look from its predecessor. I have played quite a few otome visual novels, and the Hakuoki series has always been among my favorites. Kyoto Winds was a pleasure to play and exceeded my expectations of a remastered 9 year old game.

I don't talk about my husband much here. It's not something he requested, it's a choice I made on my own. He's a private person (he doesn't even have a Facebook account – WHAT), so it would feel horrible and gross for me to disrespect that part of him. I mean, I can't imagine getting on here and sharing really intimate details about us. Add to that, the fact that my kids will (hopefully) be able to read one day, and it only confirms this is the right choice. It just wouldn't feel right for my boys' friends to read all about their mommy, and how she doesn't give it up as much as she should to their daddy. They're gonna need enough therapy as it is, with my genes.
Anyway, talking about him feels weird but, if I left him out, today's post would end here <—.
I'll be sure to stick to my standard measurement – Will this get him fired or arrested? – so I don't over-share.
_ _
So, like I said, my husband is an introvert and I'm an extrovert. But, this barely scratches the surface of our differences.
Seriously, we could not be more opposite even if we tried. And, if we did try I would win, because I'm competitive, and he wouldn't give a shit that I won, because he's not.
Some of the million:
He's tidy and organized and I am…not that.
He is laid-back and mellow and I am LOUD.
He reads really deep shit like The History of The World; I read People Magazine and Twitter.
He is balanced and moderate in his temperament; I am unbalanced and extreme in mine.
He runs, ducks, and takes cover from the spotlight, while I'm all like BRIGHTER, IT NEEDS TO BE BRIGHTER, I SAID.
He is a man of very few words and I am….shut up.
The first time we hung out I asked him, "Are you a mute?" and he said, "Just because I'm not talking to you doesn't mean I don't talk." (But, really guys, it's been over ten years since then and, trust me, he doesn't talk.)
I know every single news story ever published throughout the world; He knows only those stories that make the front page of CNN or the New York Times. A seemingly innocuous fact that has caused many an argument.
ME: Hi. How was your day? Did you hear about that little girl's puppy that was beaten and tortured right at the foot of her hospital bed?
HIM: Jesus, Allison. You're such a Debbie Downer.
ME: I'm sorry, but I need to talk to someone about these horrible things. Speaking of horrible, did you hear about that plane that was carrying all those nuns? The one that crashed into the orphanage? No survivors. Awful, right? I can't even imagine. It reminds me of that runaway train that derailed, crashed right into that nursing home, then exploded. They say you could hear the screams from outside, you know.
ME: Anyway, what should we do for dinner? Wait, what's wrong, babe? Why the long face? Why are you always so serious?
Our taste in television is equally opposing. For example, I've been on an Infested marathon all week. For some reason, he thinks it's weird that I like to watch scorpions falling onto people's head from their living room rafters, or Hobo spiders crawling all over someone while they're asleep. But, really, is there any better way to wind down at the end of a long day than to watch a family spend their entire life savings battling bedbugs? And, honestly, what is better than a family buying their dream home only to find out it was built ON TOP OF A SNAKE DEN? Nothing, that's what. (Although, documentaries about serial killers do come in a close second.)
Being in a relationship with your polar opposite has its ups and downs, much like a roller-coaster.
At the beginning, when you're dating, it's super exciting.
Then, when you move in together, it's a little less exciting and a little more holy shit what the hell have we done please pick up your gross towel and brush your teeth.
But, it has also has many, many benefits.
For instance, my husband loves that I talk for both of us at parties, because it's easier for him.
I love that I get to talk for both of us at parties, because it's really hard for me to shut the fuck up.
And, if I was in charge of paying the bills, I'd be sitting in a dark room telling all of this to my cat, instead of to you, because our electricity would have been shut off months ago.
Sometimes, I wish we were more alike. Sometimes, I think that would make life easier in a less-screaming, door-slamming way.
Other times, I question if easier equals better. Might easier be less-exciting? I guess it depends on the person.
But, at the end of my day, I probably do need someone to keep me in check and tell me when to shut my big mouth.
Even if there's not a chance in hell I'll listen.

Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah Wednesday expressed satisfaction over the recent statement by Union Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde wherein he had said that 'the state government would be taken on board over the revocation of the controversial Armed Forces Special Powers Act.
Omar was taking to newsmen on the sidelines of the police award giving ceremony here this afternoon. The chief minister said that he was happy over the statement of the home minister.
The state government has been batting for partial revocation of the AFSPA from some areas of the state where violence had remarkably come down over the years.
However, the state government's efforts have met with resistance from the security agencies who opine that the overall situation in the State did not favour even a partial revocation.
Before the next assembly elections scheduled for late 2014, the ruling National Conference would like the revocation of the AFSPA at least from the capital cities of Jammu and Srinagar.

How To Get Rid Of Jaundice?
Jaundice causes an infant's skin to show a yellowish tone, especially in the face and then on the chest and/or stomach. As jaundice advances, it can even cause the legs to appear yellow and the infant may have a yellow tint in the whites of the eyes.
Not only is it important for a doctor to examine a newborn thoroughly, it is crucial for the parents to watch closely for signs of jaundice. This condition can cause great concern for parents because some infants must be treated with an exchange transfusion to correct the red-blood cell level and the bilirubin level. Jaundice is caused by improper levels of red-blood cells and high levels of bilirubin, one ingredient in human blood.
Infants with jaundice may also be treated with light treatment (also known as photo-therapy). A specific type of lamp is used to lower the bilirubin level. The light transforms bilirubin into a form that can be eliminated from the body more easily. Infants treated with phototherapy may be in an incubator, under the light, for two days or slightly longer.
Home Treatment
In addition to the treatment given at the hospital, parents sometimes bring home a special light-blanket that has the same effect on bilirubin levels as phototherapy in the hospital. This advance in treatment has made caring for a jaundiced baby much easier, since the light-blanket can be used as any other blanket would be. The light level and type is not harmful and requires no special covering for the baby's eyes.
Jaundice may also occur in older children and in adults. The causes include blood disease, hepatitis, cirrhosis, infections and even reaction to some medications. In these cases, the patient must consume a selection of juices for at week, while taking in no other food or liquids. This is called a juice-fast. Recommended juices are: orange, pear, lemon, grape, beet, carrot and sugarcane.
Adult Jaundice
Adults and children who are afflicted with jaundice as a disease as described above will probably be subjected to a daily enema so that toxins will not be absorbed in the intestines. The juice-fast should be continued until visible symptoms are gone. These procedures should always be undertaken with the assistance and advice of a doctor.
Recent studies show that increased intake of several specific vitamins also helps the recovery process. Vitamins C, B, and E might be of some help in this situation. It is important to continue getting enough of these vitamins even after symptoms of jaundice have disappeared.Category: Diseases & Conditions, Health

Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, and the National Book Critics Circle Award
The hero of John Updike's Rabbit, Run, ten years after the events of Rabbit Redux, has come to enjoy considerable prosperity as the chief sales representative of Springer Motors, a Toyota agency in Brewer, Pennsylvania. The time is 1979: Skylab is falling, gas lines are lengthening, and double-digit inflation coincides with a deflation of national self-confidence. Nevertheless, Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom feels in good shape, ready to enjoy life at last--until his wayward son, Nelson, returns from the West, and the image of an old love pays a visit to the lot. New characters and old populate these scenes from Rabbit's middle age as he continues to pursue, in his zigzagging fashion, the rainbow of happiness.
"Unquestionably Updike's finest novel . . . Funny and sharp and damnably intelligent."—The Boston Globe
"Dazzlingly reaffirms Updike's place as master chronicler of the spiritual maladies and very earthly pleasures of the Middle-American male."—Vogue
"Rich, funny . . . Updike at the very height of his powers."—New York magazine

Hudson County is the smallest and most urban county in northeastern New Jersey, and sixth most densely populated in the United States. Located on two penisulas between the Hudson, Hackensack, and Passaic rivers it has, while being in the midst of the New York City metropolitan area, a distinct history and character from either the the city across from which it sits and the rest of the state on the other side of the New Jersey Meadowlands, and is often overlooked by both. The thirteen municpalites which comprise Hudson often share borders that are city streets where the demarcation is barely, if at all noted. Since its beginnings in the 17th century the region has be home to waves of immigrants, making it one of ethnically diverse in America.

Inverness Highlander B&B
Facilities Map Streetview Reviews
28 Ardconnel Street
Note: It is the responsibility of the hotel chain and/or the individual property to ensure the accuracy of the photos displayed. Travellerspoint is not responsible for any inaccuracies in the photos.
The City Guesthouse provides an excellent base to explore the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The Guesthouse is situated in the heart of the city of Inverness, close the main bus terminal and train station.
It provides excellent budget accommodation for travelers and tourists alike.We pride ourselves in the quality of service we provide to all our guests and assure your stay with us will be a memorable one. The city of Inverness has much to offer, during the day and great nightlife at night.
We offer 1 single, 2 double and 5 twin rooms. Our twin rooms have beds for 2 adults with PVC mattresses. Laundry facilities available at the cost of 5 for wash and dry.
Please note that 48 hours notice is required to cancel booking and that payment is by cash only on arrival.
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
This property is more for itinerant workers, not for families, couples or someone expecting a nice family run B&B.
We booked in March and still ended up in the attic, which was very tiny. The bed was broken which made a nights sleep impossible. When we queried this in the morning the manager said she thought it had been mended; whoever made the beds that morning would have noticed it was broken as the top part of the bed was a foot higher than the bottom part.
The manager showered us with questions and information as soon as we came in the door, she probably had to be at one of the many other properties that the 'company' are running!
The address we stayed at was 36 Ardconnel Street, not 28, where we first pitched up!
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
The room was very small attic room with a very tiny bathroom and small double bed More suitable for one person buy it ewas very clean. Landlady and her young son very obliging. Property was very convenient for both coach and rail stations.
nice room, clean bathroom, perfect location cause it's only about a minute away from downtown
This is a Trusted Review. Why?
There no mirror

Advanced Medical Transport operates 11 ambulances that transport patients to specialty hospitals throughout Florida, skilled nursing facilities or to special procedures within the hospital system. The ambulances are equipped with the latest in emergency medical service technology with communication links to the Martin Health System Emergency Department, Cardiac Catheterization Lab and the Frances Langford Heart Center. In the past year, these ambulances traveled more than 200,000 miles.
"Medical transportation is like the spokes to the wheel of Martin Health System," said Wolfberg. "It's essential for quality patient care."
Advanced Medical Transport employs 61 emergency medical technicians and paramedics. "Our associates are clinically trained and qualified in many aspects of critical care," Wolfberg said. "Their commitment to excellence is the reason we were rated so highly."
Advanced Medical Transport (AMT) recently received an excellent rating from the Florida Department of Health. Representing AMT from left to right are: Eddie Szymczk, Operations Manager; Sharon Clifton, Lead Paramedic; Melissa Mckay, Office Coordinator; and Steve Wolfberg, Director of Emergency Management and Corporate Transportation

therefore more efficient at thickening, than wheat flour.
Potato starch differs from these grain starches because the starch is derived from the plants root or
tuber. The starch grains are larger, and they absorb more water and release starch at lower
temperatures. Also, their amylose molecules are much longer than in grain starches, so are more
effective at thickening. Due to their ability to thicken fairly quickly, they are often added to correct
sauces at the last minute – they thicken quickly and do not need pre-cooking in a roux to improve their
flavour (unlike the starch in wheat flour which has a very floury taste and is usually pre-cooked to
improve its taste). However, because potato granules are more fragile, they are more easily broken
up, so a sauce thickened with potato starch will thin more easily. To improve the dispersion of the
potato starch in the sauce, preventing lumps, the starch is often pre-mixed with butter to aid dispersion
in the sauce as the butter melts.
All these thickening agents however, need to be heated to thicken. This limits their use to sauces that
are not affected by heating. Fresh herb purees, and gazpacho, for example, cannot be thickened by
these agents without cooking the preparation, which has led to an increased interest in cold effective
thickeners, including the alginates and the gums.
As explained previously, most gelling agents, in certain conditions, will act as thickeners. For example,
alginates, in the absence of calcium, will act as a thickener. A small quantity of alginate (0.4 %) will
thicken a sauce without the need for heating, however very strong mixing is required to dissolve the
alginate, which is fairly time consuming. If the preparation is not sufficiently mixed, the alginate
molecules may join together and form lumps giving the sauce an undesirable texture.
Recently, a family of compounds called gums became popular. These are derived from plants and are
generally complex carbohydrates made of different sugar molecules. They are used as thickeners,

Dear Readers,
Forgive me for I have failed to write. It has been 2 months since my last blog post. I am sure you will understand or maybe not have noticed at all. I certainly noticed.
So I set out this morning (again) to write something (again) and I found it hard to be really inspired to write about anything (again). However, when The Dude walked in to grab a cup of joe, I must have looked like I could write something.
"You must be writing."
"No, I would like to be writing."
"Oh, well you look like you are writing. You have this inspired look on your face."
"No such luck," I explain. "I haven't been inspired in months."
He considers this thought for a moment and says something very interesting – especially since he has not yet has his first cup of coffee.
"That's probably not a bad thing. When you write, you are usually exercising some demon of some kind, sorting through something jacked up in your brain. Maybe it's ok that you have to try a little harder to get it out. Some of my favorite articles have been those you had to power through."
I thought about that through my next cup of coffee and some Facebook scrolling. The truth is, he is right – but only partly.
I do write for nearly the same reason that I run – it feels good in an amazingly painful way. It is hard. Not everyone can do it. It takes practice and dedication. You have to be somewhat consistent. All these things wrap up into an activity that feeds my appreciation of my own strength and ability. It keeps my mind right. It makes me feel capable. It helps me to be a better person.
It also tends to be very personal, so I tend to be a bit guarded. I am fairly extroverted (I know, you are shocked). To write about the deepest things requires pulling back the veil. While I may not mind this so much for myself, not everyone in my circle would appreciate that. I am hugely respectful of that.
So, pen does not go to paper, as it were, and I leave those things unpublished.
I am not trying to hide, present a white washed front, or create a superficial image – I am simply trying to be respectful. Besides, if an action meant to exercise demons actually reinforces its power, then what was really the point?
I also am not really good at writing (or running) in pieces. This plays hell with my new schedule. If I can't lace up shoes and run for an hour, or log in and write for an hour, then I really don't understand the point. I have a hard time accepting the face that 200 words here, 150 word there will eventually produce the post. I am trying to do better.
The truth is there has been a ton of stuff to write about and sort through.
- I have a new job. And when I say new, I mean NEW. It is unlike anything I have ever done before and it has been a real game changer.
- I have modified my diet and it is not going as well as I would have hoped – I am still searching for balance.
- I have signed up for a 24 hour race in an attempt to get the ever coveted ultra marathon runner belt buckle. For a multitude of reasons I am scared shitless. I have 83 days to figure it out.
- My oldest Little is getting a class ring, and college mailers, and ideas about the future.
- I have modified my training plan and it most assuredly has its pros and its cons. Again, it is about balance. (I am still using the word "plan" very loosely).
So, I will consider different ways to do different things. And maybe I will write about. No, I will write about it because that is what writers do. But maybe it won't take 2 months.

Beats & Pieces Big Band (UK)
Beats & Pieces Big Band is a fourteen-piece juggernaut that swaggers old school when it wants to, but also reveals a contemporary urban edge, with Radiohead medleys, electronica and Bowie in amongst the brass and reeds.
Winners of the 'Best Newcomer Award' from Jazz FM in 2013 and 'Best Ensemble' at the prestigious Parliamentary Music Awards a year later, Beats & Piece's idiomatic range and flat out attack have drawn justifiable comparisons to their acclaimed 1980s forebears's 'Loose Tubes.'
Composer and conductor Ben Cottrell's compositions reflect the diversity of music that people of their generation have grown up with, and is influenced as much by Michael Jackson, Bjork and Radiohead as they are by Ellington and Gil Evans.
Prepare for some collective energetic grooving, big band bravura, back-beat driven soul, jazz swelling and massive horn harmonies in an exuberant hard-hitting live show.
"There hasn't been a 'live' British big band since Loose Tubes with the same degree of energetic spontaneity and enjoyment of performing as this one" - Jazzwise

Coffeehouse Post
Single Post Permalink
Good discussion, guys, and I'm happy to participate. Of course, you probably know where I stand on this issue. The top request that I receive for converters is easily SWF to WPF/XAML. But, it's not that folks want to wholeheartedly convert everything, because that doesn't often make sense. They want to use some of their existing assets in a new WPF application. After all, WPF isn't primarily an animation system...it's a way to develop next-generation applications and user experiences.
I'm obviously not an Adobe/Macromedia spokesperson (perhaps someone from Adobe can add to this discussion), but I'll tell you what I currently understand about the FLA and SWF file formats. The FLA file format is a proprietary and closed format, and as far as I know, there is no specification available for it. The SWF is simply the published version of a FLA file. The file specification is available at (seemingly) no cost from Adobe, so price isn't the issue. But, if anything is documented and available, it is clearly the SWF format.
Although I can't peer into the FLA file and make any sense of it, I'd speculate that it contains a lot of useful authoring information that would make a conversion (like the one SWF2XAML implements) much more straightforward. As a matter of fact, it's the first thing I looked at when I began my experimentation months ago. By the way, there is nothing that I've seen in the SWF format that ever encrypts or scrambles the content for protection.
Another way to think about the relationship between FLA and SWF is this: in Photoshop, I save my project files with a PSD file extension (Photoshop's native format), but when I publish them, I can publish to a number of formats: JPG, GIF, PNG, etc. There's nothing inherently "protected" about the bits in these files. As a matter of fact, any standard web browser can parse and display them. But, just because you can right-click on an image on a web page and select "Save As...", does that mean that web browsers were built to enable people to steel copyrighted material from others? Of course not.
There is a clear difference between a tool's features and abilities and what a person can legally do with the tool. For example, photocopiers, VCRs, and cameras aren't (by themselves) illegal. But, a person can certainly perform illegal acts with all of them.
In the case of the companies I'm referring to (who I'd name, except I'm not sure they'd want me to), they simply don't have the original FLA files. There's nothing nefarious about their motives. You'd recognize every one of the companies, and I doubt you'd believe that their motives were anything but legitimate.
The SWF2XAML tool is simply a way to reduce the challenges a customer or partner may have in reusing their assets.

And low and behold, you can start right away! Why not hit the jump for some great benefits that you can attend... Tonight... This Weekend... Weekend after next...
Wings do Wonders!
Jordan Busch, one of the owners of Fire on the Mountain [4225 North Interstate, 1706 East Burnside], recently had a friend diagnosed with MS. That's the kind of situation that will inspire you to donate half the dinner proceeds of your buffalo wings joint toward MS research. Which is exactly what Busch is planning on doing tonight. Head down, eat some wings and do something to help the fight against MS.
Sake to Beat Leukemia!
This Sunday, April 18th, at Tanuki [413 Northwest 21st], you can also help fight Leukemia and Lymphoma by wrapping your lips around some super-rare sake that you will not find anywhere else in the state.
Knowing Tanuki, your $50 will get you both loaded on sake and well-fed on some of Chef Janis Martin's mind blowing bites... Not to mention deserts from Indish. As an added bonus, some of Portland's top restaurants have donated gift certificates for a culinary raffle of eye-popping proportions.
Reservations are required. Stop by Tanuki with a check made out to The Leukemia-Lymphoma Society to reserve your spot.
So Much Food For Such a Good Cause!
Both of these events are necessary to get your jaw and liver in shape for the Big Daddy of food benefits, Share Our Strength's Taste of the Nation®, on Monday April 26th. The event features over 50 local restaurants and chefs, and enough wine and cocktails to ensure that you will have maybe too good a time.
All of the proceeds from tickets sales to Taste of the Nation go to support local hunger relief agencies working to end childhood hunger. That basically means you're getting an awesome opportunity to sample the best of Portland's food and drink scene for a $75 charitable donation. That's a killer deal. By contrast, If you ate a separate meal at each of the participating restaurants, not only would you be fat and broke, but you would've done nothing to help hungry kids. So, the choice is yours…
In all seriousness, childhood hunger is a big problem in Oregon, and Taste of the Nation is an amazing way to help our community and serve those in need. Head to www.portlandtaste.com for tickets and additional information.
Remember there's nothing more filling and intoxicating than knowing you're getting filled-up and intoxicated for a good cause. That's why I'd suggest you take a chunk of your tax return and go to each of these events, you hungry heroes.

Mexican public consulted on science priorities
[MEXICO CITY] Mexico has become the first country in Latin America to ask its citizens what key areas the country's scientists should focus on.
The Citizen's Agenda for Science, Technology and Innovation initiative, which ran from November 2012 to the end of January this year, saw universities, research centres and scientific organisations seeking advice from ordinary citizens on the national challenges that should be solved with science and technology.
People could choose, online or in person, up to three challenges the country faces from a shortlist of ten identified by the nation's scientists.
- More than 150,000 people responded to a consultation on research priorities created by Mexico's scientists
- Education, water and the environment topped the results
- Scientists have suggested further actions and budgets for ten priority areas
The shortlist included issues relating to education, water, the environment, agriculture, energy, health, climate change, aerospace, migration and addiction.
The initiative received more than 364,000 votes representing the views of more than 150,000 participants.
Education, water and the environment topped the list with the three most important challenges being: 'To modernise the education system' (17 per cent); 'To secure drinking water supply for the entire population' (15 per cent); and 'To recover and preserve the environment to improve our quality of life' (14 per cent).
Although the consultation showed what the priorities are for some Mexicans, the president will decide what action to take, in part based on a report analysing the survey which is being produced by a number of partner organisations.
José Franco, the initiative's coordinator and president of the Mexican Academy of Sciences, is hopeful that one of the initiative's funders, the National Council of Science and Technology (CONACyT), will step forward and provide resources for the ten challenges.
Alejandro Tello Cristerna, president of the Parliamentary Science and Technology Commission, tells SciDev.Net that the Citizen's Agenda reveals what people think are priorities for science, and that parliament should now legislate to improve these areas.
However, he says, legislators do not have the necessary scientific knowledge, so should be in "permanent communication with scientists".
Part of this communication will be the publication of ten books, written by researchers and funded by CONACyT, that outline each of the issues along with suggested solutions and research budgets.
In this way, "scientists can make concrete proposals to decision makers and start working together to make changes to the legislation in each of the ten areas", says Acianela Montes de Oca, coordinator of the books.
"It's easy for scientists to propose solutions but it would be a huge mistake if we didn't involve citizens," says Franco.
The consultation follows a similar initiative in the European Union in 2010, which was led by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology.

The Importance of Alignment in Dissertation Development
By Jim Goes and Marilyn Simon
The concept and importance of alignment in dissertation development is of paramount concern in many doctoral programs. Alignment refers to careful articulation of major proposal and dissertation elements in such a way that the proposal and dissertation narrative flows logically and consistently across different elements of the study. Reviewers are increasingly challenging doctoral learners to demonstrate alignment before their proposals or dissertations will be approved.
The key to successful alignment is to make certain that each major element is logically consistent, and fits with the problem, purpose, and other elements of the study. For example, a qualitative methodology would not fit with a problem that is inherently quantitative, such as testing the relationship between variable 'scores' on two Likert-type scales. Similarly, it would make little sense to propose a correlational test for data that are primarily textual and descriptive, such as one would find in a qualitative study. Both cases would present an alignment problem – the nature of the data does not align with the proposed analytical approach. Such data could potentially be quantified by coding particular responses using a set of established codes, followed by testing correlations or relationships using the coded data.
Each major element of the proposal needs to be logically and methodologically aligned with other elements. For example, research questions need to be aligned with hypotheses, hypotheses with the proposed theory or conceptual model, and tests, if any, should flow logically from the way in which hypotheses are constructed. A phenomenological design could be used to determine how a group of people perceive their lived experiences around a particular phenomenon. The problem, purpose, and research questions would need to be in alignment with this determination. In this case, the subjectivity of the data leads to difficulties in establishing reliability and validity of approaches and information, and does not produce generalizable data.
General methodology textbooks usually do not provide sufficient grounding for specific designs and methodologies. It is of great importance to review and cite texts and peer-reviewed journal articles of methodological thought leaders that elucidate the nuances of the specific methodology you choose for your study. For example, Yin for case studies, Moustakas for phenomenological studies, Glaser and Straus for grounded theory studies, and Stephenson for Q-methodology studies. See the sources below for additional guidance on achieving alignment in your dissertation. The HAT tool is particularly useful in tracking alignment through various iterations of proposal and dissertation development.

You all have a top notch system there.
I'm am sorry that it got so hot that I didn't really get time to thank you but we are already adding our personal touches to it and look forward to our first camping trip. We just LOVE this trailer soooooooo much!
Thx again!
- Gail from Fredericksburg, Va
very pleasedI just want to tell you how very pleased we are with our new Micro Minnie Winnie and the service and attention we got upon our picking up the trailer.I have been researching RVing for about six months and watch Going RVing every Wednesday night.I am soon retiring and want to travel some and decided on RVing .We went to your Grand Opening at New Oxford and was given a great deal. I can't say enough about Chris and his desire to please the customer. Very thorough and professional and a heck of a nice guy. If your whole company is like this I am sure you will do very well in this area. Thank You Very Much - Ron from Littlestown, PA
Complete SatisfactionWe want to express our complete satisfaction in our recent purchase of a 2017 Winnebago Winnie Drop from Patrick Murphy. Patrick Murphy is a definite asset to Beckley's R.Vs. The time and professionalism he dedicated to us was extremely impressive! Thank you Pat for being the person that you are!!! Next, Bill Woodcock. Another individual that left an everlasting impression with us! Bill was kind, considerate, knowledgeable, and caring. Great guy! Also, Derek Smith! This is our first RV purchase and Derek was more than professional in explaining what is essential for our Trailer. Derek has been instrumental in procurement of a cover that will actually fit our new prized possession. This entire experience has been enjoyable from the day we were blessed to meet Patrick. We have shared our feelings with friends and family about the fine establishment Beckley's RVs represent! We hope that management will take the time to recognize Pat, Bill & Derek as these kind of employees set the standard for such a competitive industry. God Bless and Thank you again for the absolutely positive support! Kent & Cheryl - Kent from Front Royal, VA
Thanks!We picked up our new T@B max s today and are satisfied customers. Ed was very friendly and helpful through the process and went over the rv with us in great detail. Kudos to Shane in service as well. He was very courteous and knowledgable. When we ran into a small hiccup in the installation of the receiver, Craig Beckley and Shane were right there to go over the issue and explained what needed to be done. The impression we have is that Beckley's wants it done right. We will need to come back to get the Honda Pilot hitch cover installed but I am satisfied that we are getting top notch service. Thanks
Mike - Michael from Centreville, VA
Great job!I just want to compliment your staff on my experience with Beckley's. Shawn and Matthew were so incredible. Ronnie and I could not have been more pleased. The knowledge that these guys have was great. They hung in there with us. Gave us space when we needed it. I so appreciate your customer service.
I am in the customer service business. I am a sales manager for a clothing store in our area. Your staff gets a A+++. All were helpful. I am also a part time realtor of 33 years. Cant say enough. Thanks you all.
Mary - Mary from Staunton, VA

- Matthew from Gaithersburg, MD
Thanks again!Hi Mike,
From the time of your e-mail it looks like you're working a little OT..... lol
Thanks very much for the updates and it has been an "adventure", but Thank God Jeannetta and I bought from Beckley's . At the FMCA Rally this month and listening to the "horror" stories other folks had with their dealers, we told everyone and anyone that we had none of their issues after buying from Beckley's. …… Thanks again for keeping us updated,
Mike R

THANK YOU!!Good afternoon from Central PA!
Just a quick note to say thank you for the GREAT customer service during the trade in and purchase of our new 2017 Grand Design Reflection travel trailer. Greg Habina was an amazing rep from start to finish. His fabulous personality along with the excellent knowledge helped us to decide which trailer was right for us. After shopping around at other local dealers, I can honestly say that we made the best choice by choosing Beckley's. The purchase and turnaround time was quick and flawless. Thank you Greg for your time well spent! Keep up the remarkable work. On a side note.... we LOVE our new Reflection trailer!!
Thank you. David and Missy
- David from Carlisle, PA
Good JobThe service we received from the moment I contacted the Beckley's Camp Center was excellent. My wife and I wanted a used 2015 used T@B that Beckley's had for sale. The only problem was we live in Illinois and Beckley's is in Maryland. I say this because you don't normally see used T@B's for sale, and the turn around for something we wanted would of took months to order. My first conversation was with the internet representative Matt. Matt was very welcoming and most of all patient, especially because I'm new to the camper seen. Matt not only steered us in the right direction but he suggested camp grounds in the area we could stay to spend the weekend in our new T@B. The next step was to connect with a sales rep who Matt recommended. Nick Wolf became our sales rep we would be dealing with throughout the purchasing process. My wife and I were very impressed with our welcoming from everyone at Beckley's the moment we walked in the door. Remember, we just drove 11 hours to pick up our first camper and camp at a camp ground in Gettysburg PA. Nick had the camper ready for us to view for the first time and went over the entire operational features of the camper. My wife and I were very impressed with the patience in which Nick exhibited. Nick & Beckley's camp center (everyone was so friendly) were true to us about everything we agreed once we got there (traveling 11 hours). It turns out the crank wrench to stabilize our T@B was the wrong size, so I contacted Nick directly that evening and he was quick to reply and give us some options to resolve the problem. Our experience was a good one at Beckley's, so I have no problem recommending them to anyone! Thanks to Matt for getting the ball rolling and handing me off to Nick to make the deal happen. My wife works in the business industry and I in the educational field. We both were very happy with the way we were treated from the start. We love our T@B and plan to camp again this weekend!!! - Joe from Wheaton, IL
Kind WordsNick,
Was great seeing you today, and I took the camper over to service and Josh a technician came out and looked at it. He fixed the trim on the window outside the table, and sealed all the windows. I want to thank you and Josh for helping to secure my investment it truly is great knowing that it's more than the sale. Great job to you and your team.

STATEMENTS ON INTRODUCED BILLS AND JOINT RESOLUTIONS -- (Senate - April 28, 2009)
S. 909. A bill to provide Federal assistance to States, local jurisdictions, and Indian tribes to prosecute hate crimes, and for other purposes; to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, hate crimes harm innocent victims, terrorize entire communities, and threaten the very fabric of our nation. They send a poisonous message that some Americans deserve to be victimized solely because of who they are or who they are perceived to be. Hate crimes offend the fundamental ideals on which Nation was founded. They can not be tolerated in any free society, and it is long past time to enact legislation to correct the deficiencies in the current federal hate crimes statute.
For far too long, law enforcement has been forced to investigate hate crimes with one hand tied behind its back. Now is the time to change this. This bill strengthens the Federal Government's ability to investigate and prosecute hate crimes. It removes the excessive restrictions currently existing in federal law. It offers Federal assistance for investigating and prosecuting hate crimes to State and local law enforcement. It provides training grants for local law enforcement to combat hate crimes committed by juveniles.
The first Federal hate crimes statute was passed over 40 years ago in 1968, soon after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. It authorized the Federal Government to investigate and prosecute crimes committed against individuals because of their race, color, religion, or national origin. The original statute was a major advance in the march of progress, but it is now a generation out of date.
The time has come to stand up for all victims of hate crimes--victims like Matthew Shepard, for whom this bill is named. Matthew died a horrible death in 1998 at the hands of two men who singled him out because of his sexual orientation. Since Matthew's murder, his mother has worked courageously to make sure that we never forget the suffering that her son endured, and to remind Congress that it has a responsibility to protect individuals like her son. Yet today, more than 10 years after Matthew's death--10 years--we still have not modernized our hate crimes laws. How long are we going to wait?
The bill we are introducing today expands the current hate crimes statute
and gives Federal, State, local, and tribal authorities greater ability to investigate and prosecute hate crimes effectively. The bill closes flagrant loopholes in the current statute that prevent or undermine the prosecution of the individuals who commit these vicious crimes.
This bill broadens the original Federal hate crimes statute by prohibiting crimes based on a victim's actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability.
According to FBI statistics, hate crimes based on sexual orientation make up approximately 17 percent of all hate crimes. Considering that gays and lesbians make up approximately 3 percent of the population, the FBI statistics suggest that gays and lesbians are victimized at a rate approximately 6 times higher than that of the average American. Research suggests that hate-motivated violence against gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender citizens is particularly extreme. As these statistics and the research make clear, hate crimes are a very real danger to gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender citizens. We must act--without further delay--to correct these unacceptable deficiencies in current law and protect all citizens from these brutal crimes.
Our bill also increases the Federal Government's ability to prosecute hate crimes. It removes the prerequisite that a victim be engaged in a ``federally protected activity'' before the Federal Government can prosecute an offender under the statute. This restrictive provision is outdated, unwise, and unnecessary, particularly when one considers the unjust outcomes that can result from limiting prosecution to offenders to target victims participating in one or more of the following 6 narrow categories of federally protected activity: attending or enrolling in a public school or public college; participating in a benefit, service, privilege, program, facility or activity administered by a state or local government; applying for or working in private or state employment; serving as a juror in a state court; using a facility of interstate commerce or a common carrier; or enjoying public accommodations or places of exhibition or entertainment. We know that individuals may be victimized while engaging in activities that are not included in this list of activities--they could be victims while engaging in routine activities, going about their normal day. Americans should be protected from hate crimes in everything they do. There should be no distinction between hate crimes occurring while a victim is engaged in a routine activity or one of the six specified federally protected activities described above.
This bill corrects a gap in the current hate crimes statute that limits prosecution to offenders who interfere with a victim's participation in certain federally protected activities. In June 2003, six Latino teenagers went to a family restaurant on Long Island. The teenagers knew one another from involvement in community activities and have come together to celebrate a birthday. As the group entered the restaurant, three men who were leaving the bar assaulted the teenagers, pummeling one boy and severing a
tendon in his hand with a sharp weapon. During the attack, the men yelled racial slurs and one identified himself as a skinhead. Two of the men were tried under the current Federal hate crimes law and were acquitted. The jurors said they acquitted the offenders because the Government failed to prove that using a restaurant was a federally protected activity. The result in this case is just one example of the inadequate protections provided under current law. The bill we introduce today will eliminate the federally protected activity requirement and give jurors greater ability to convict all perpetrators of hate crimes.
The bill modernizes the Federal Government's ability to prosecute hate crimes, but it fully respects the primary role of state, local, and tribal law enforcement authorities in responding to hate crimes in their jurisdictions. The bill protects these local interests with a strict certification process, which requires the Federal Government to consult with state and local officials before prosecuting a Federal case. In accord with certification, it is our belief that the vast majority of hate crimes will continue to be prosecuted at the State and local level.
In addition, our bill authorizes the Justice Department to increase the number of Department personnel to prevent and respond to hate crimes. This increase will enable Federal authorities to develop the manpower necessary to act effectively to prevent and respond to hate crimes.
The bill also authorizes the Justice Department to provide needed investigative resources to state and local law enforcement during these challenging economic times. This expansion of federal assistance is meant to supplement, not supplant, the efforts of state and local law enforcement authorities, so that hate crimes can be effectively investigated and prosecuted in the future.
Hate crimes investigations tend to be expensive, requiring considerable law enforcement effort, and extensive use of grand juries. The bill expands the Justice Department's opportunity to provide support for these expenses. It authorizes the Attorney General to offer grants of up to $100,000 to help state, local, and tribal law enforcement officials manage the high costs of investigating and prosecuting hate crimes. It also authorizes the Justice Department to award grants to State, local, and tribal authorities for programs that combat hate crimes committed by juveniles, including programs designed to train local law enforcement officers in identifying, investigating, prosecuting and preventing hate crimes. These measures will help ensure that state and local authorities have the resources necessary to successfully combat and prosecute hate crimes.
Collecting data on hate crimes is important for analyzing crime trends and tailoring effective criminal policy. Our bill increases the Federal Government's ability to monitor hate crimes by requiring the FBI to increase the statistics it collects about such crimes. Currently, the FBI collects hate crimes data on race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnic background, and disability. Our bill requires the FBI to collect new statistics on hate crimes based on an individual's gender or gender-identity, and hate crimes committed by juveniles. By increasing the amount of data collected by the FBI, we will be able to better understand the gravity of the hate crimes committed in our communities.
Hate crimes are a festering problem, causing terror in neighborhoods across America. According to the most recent statistics released by the FBI, there were at least 9,527 victims of hate-motivated crimes in 2007. Based on that number, an average of 26 victims per day were terrorized as a consequence of their race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnic background, or disability. The FBI's statistics reveal that race-related hate crimes are the most common type of hate crimes, comprising approximately 50 percent of all hate crimes reported to the FBI. That said, crimes based on religion, sexual orientation, and ethnic background occur with alarming frequency as well.
These hate crimes statistics are disturbing, but they represent only the tip of the iceberg of hate crimes occurring in America. The Southern Poverty Law Center, the Human Rights Campaign, and the US Bureau of Justice Statistics agree that the FBI's hate crimes numbers do not reflect the actual number of hate crimes occurring in our communities each year. The Southern Poverty Law Center estimates that the annual number of hate crimes committed in the U.S. is close to 50,000. In addition, the Human Rights Campaign states that a hate crime occurs every 6 hours. Survey data from the Bureau of Justice Statistics' biannual National Crime Victimization Survey estimates that an average of 191,000 hate crime victimizations take place each year. Based on this survey, over 540 people are victimized each day, based on their race, religion, sexual orientation, ethnic background, or disability--more than 22 victims per hour. These statistics are not just shocking--they are shameful. It is time for Congress to specifically address the serious problem of hate crimes in America.
In addition to the legal impact of this bill, its symbolic impact is equally important. This bill emphasizes the devastatingly unique nature of hate crimes. It says we recognize that hate crimes provide aggressors with the means to attack an entire community through a single act of violence, and send a message of fear that vastly transcends the immediate crime and its victim. It shows we understand that hate crime offenders should be prosecuted for committing a crime against an entire community. After so many years of inaction, we in Congress have an obligation to demonstrate that we understand how hate crimes affect our nation's communities.
It takes only a brief survey of any major news outlet to find horrifying stories of hate crimes and the inability of law enforcement to prosecute offenders for their acts of hate. The 1999 murder of four women in Yosemite National Park graphically illustrates the need to include gender in our hate crimes statute. These four women were murdered by a man who admitted having fantasized about killing women for most of his life. These women lost their lives for one reason--because they were women. We need to send a clear message that we will not accept such acts of hate. Without this bill, however, such a crime cannot be federally prosecuted as a hate crime.
Gender identity must also be included in our definition of those characteristics protected by a hate crimes statute. Many are familiar with the story of Brandon Teena, who was raped and beaten in Humboldt, Nebraska in 1993 by two male friends after they discovered that he was living as a male but was anatomically female. The local sheriff refused to arrest the offenders, and they later shot and stabbed Brandon to death.
A more recent, less well-known incident occurred when Fred C. Martinez Jr., a Navajo transgender youth, was murdered while walking home from a party. Fred was killed for one reason alone--because he was a transgender youth. By passing this bill, the Senate will send a strong message that hate crimes based on sexual identity are unacceptable and perpetrators of such crimes will face tough criminal penalties under Federal law.
Hate crimes against disabled Americans are very disturbing and deserve protection at the Federal level as well. In October 2002, two deaf girls, one of whom was wheelchair bound due to cerebral palsy, were harassed and sexually assaulted by four suspected gang members in a local park. The girls were attacked because they were disabled and unable to defend themselves. Although the alleged perpetrators were prosecuted, the assaults could not be charged as hate crimes because no State or Federal protections for disability-based hate crimes existed in Federal or State law. This must change.
These are only a few examples of the hate perpetrated against individuals in America based on their sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, and disability. We can no longer allow any of these communities to live in fear. Crimes based on an individual's sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability must be prosecuted for what they are--crimes of hate.
Individuals should not only be protected from hate crimes because of their actual characteristics; they must also be protected from hate crimes based on the inaccurate perceptions of others. Last year in Brooklyn, New York, Jose Sucuzhanay was walking arm in arm with his brother, Romel Sucuzhanay, after attending a church party. According to officials, about half a block from Jose's home, a black sports utility vehicle drove by and the two men in the vehicle began shouting what witnesses described as vulgarisms against Hispanics and gay men. The car stopped and one of the two men approached Jose and smashed a beer bottle over the back of his head. The other man then took an aluminum baseball bat from the rear of the vehicle and repeatedly struck Jose on his shoulder, ribs, and back. Once Jose fell to the ground, he received several full-forced, crushing blows to his head with the aluminum baseball bat. Jose, a father of two and local real estate agent, died 5 days later because of the hate-motivated attack. He did not deserve to lose his life because he was perceived to be gay. That is why the bill we are introducing today criminalizes crimes based on the perceived characteristics of a victim.
We also know that hate crimes covered by current Federal law--based on race, religion, national origin, and color--still occur and must be prosecuted. Following the 2008 presidential election, three men in New York went on a rampage attacking African-American residents of Staten Island in response to the historic election of President Barack Obama. The men attacked one 17-year-old African-American man with a metal pipe and collapsible baton. They attacked another African-American man by pushing him to the ground. They assaulted still another man, whom they mistakenly believed was African-American, by mowing him down with a car while yelling racial epithets at him. Clearly, this demonstrates that race-based violence is continuing at an unacceptable level, and we must act to help law enforcement more vigorously deal with hate crimes.
Hate crimes legislation has the support of President Obama, a majority of Congress, 26 State Attorneys General, and a broad coalition of law enforcement, civic, religious, and civil rights groups. Recent history shows that Congress is ready to make hate crimes legislation into law. In 2007, the Senate voted 60 to 39 in support of a similar hate crimes bill. An equally powerful statement was made by the House when it voted 237 to 180 for the hate crimes bill introduced that year. As a Senator, President Obama voted to support hate crimes legislation. Now, as President, he has included the expansion of hate crimes in his civil rights agenda. The political will of our Nation is clear--it is time for this bill to become law.
Over 300 law enforcement, civil rights, civic, and religious organizations have endorsed our bill, including the International Association of Chiefs of Police, the National District Attorneys Association, the National Sheriffs Association, the Police Executive Research Forum, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights, the Anti-Defamation League, the Human Rights Campaign, and the Interfaith Alliance. All these diverse groups have come together to say that now is the time for us to protect our fellow citizens from the brutality of hate-motivated violence. They strongly support this legislation because they know it is a balanced and sensible approach that will bring greater protection to our citizens, along with much-needed resources for local and State law enforcement fighting hate crimes.
Passing this bill will send a message, loud and clear, that those who victimize individuals because of their race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, or disability will go to prison. In addition, passing this bill will provide Federal, State, local, and tribal authorities with stronger means to prosecute crimes of hate. It has been over 10 years since Matthew Shepard was left to die on a fence in Wyoming because of who he was. It has also been 10 years since this bill was initially considered by Congress. In those 10 years, we have gained the political and public support that is needed to make this bill become law. Today, we have a President who is prepared to sign hate crimes legislation into law, and a Justice Department that is willing to enforce it. We must not delay the passage of this bill. Now is the time to stand up against hate-motivated violence and recognize the shameful damage it is doing to our Nation.

Turns out that Parker and Rubin were so prescient, it took a couple of days for reality to catch up with them. New Hampshire's secretary of state on Thursday certified the primary results, and the final totals show that Santorum actually narrowly edged out Gingrich for fourth. That means Parker and Rubin correctly forecast the order of all six major candidates in New Hampshire.
Sure, you could point out that, with just a handful of votes separating Santorum from Gingrich, this is just pure luck. But we'll still be watching to see if Parker and Rubin can repeat their success predicting the results of the all-important South Carolina primary on Jan. 21. The pressure will be on — Parker is from the Palmetto State, and it's where she began covering politics.

Switching on Signal strings
Recently I was reading some code that had been written with RobotLegs and AS3 Signals and which also used SWFAddress. There was a SwfAddress model which had a signal called 'addressSignal' and all of the other mediators also contained a reference to this signal. When the SwfAddress changed the addressSignal would dispatch from the SwfAddress model and carry with it a string which dictated the page being requested.
All of the mediators would then run a switch on the addressSignal's payload to determine how to respond. So there were basically 4 or 5 switches being run at once every time a page changed.
Does this seem like the best way to do things or would it perhaps be better to have a unique signal for each page type? Wouldn't you still need a switch in the SwfAddress model to determine which unique signal to send..?
That approach sounds fine to me. Addresses don't change that rapidly, so it's not likely that having every mediator respond and perform a switch on each change will ever be a serious performance bottleneck. I would imagine that you could have 100s of mediators and hundreds of switch cases and it still wouldn't be noticeable.
Shifting more responsibility into the model is probably not a good idea - the class will constantly need updating.
The problem with having the mediators respond to address changes is that it only works while those mediators exist (obviously!). I.E you need view components with mediators on screen, and those mediators will probably become responsible for creating new views.
My current approach is to have special actors called Routes. All routes are informed when the address changes. Each route looks at the address and decides whether to call the "onOpen", "onChange" or "onClose" hook on itself (based on a pattern matcher). Inside these hooks the route might decide to add or remove view components, updates models, call services or broadcast events. If none of the Routes report a match a special NotFound route is called.
We chose to do something similar where a change to 'gallery' will run the GalleryCommand which then adds the view if necessary.
edit Hey Shaun, do you have examples of your Routes? I would love to take a look at them.
Hi Rob,
I'm very unhappy with the actual implementation that I've got at the moment, but here's an example of what a concrete Route looks like:
public class GameIntroRoute extends AppRoute { [Inject] public var gameModel:GameModel; protected var view:GameIntroView; override protected function match(path:String):Boolean { var spec:PathSpec = getSpec(path); var game_id:String = spec.params['game_id']; return spec.match && Identity.validId(game_id); } protected function getSpec(path:String):PathSpec { return new PathSpec('/game/intro/:game_id', path); } override protected function onOpen(path:String):void { onChange(path); addView(container.baseGroup, view ||= new GameIntroView()); } override protected function onChange(path:String):void { var spec:PathSpec = getSpec(path); var game_id:String = spec.params['game_id']; gameModel.currentGame = gameModel.getGame(game_id); } override protected function onClose(path:String):void { removeView(container.baseGroup, view); } }
Here I'm extending an abstract Route that has a couple of helper methods for add/removing view components. Also, the view, in this case, is cached (only created once and then re-used).
I've thrown the implementation down as a Gist, but I definitely need to clean it up at some point and release it:
Very cool, thanks Shaun!

I'm not great at programming yet, so i'll cut to the chase
i have a box class that takes in height, length, width and calculates surface area and volume.
I just wanted to show off and draw the cubes and boxes and display their dimensions in a window.
I'm pretty sure you can display text in a JPanel but i really don't know which components to use.
I'd have a JFrame... with a JPanel? split it in two and have one side the text dimensions, on the other side a representation of the cuboid.
Could i pass the measurements taken in as doubles to paintcomponent() and draw the rectangle in proportion to its measurements?
It's a pipe dream seeing as i have like two days to do this but it would be really satisfying.
Any ideas people can give me would be great !
Please ask me to clarify any points to understand my problem, i'd ask my brother he's an IT guy but he's just started a new job for the govt that he has to drive 2 hours to.
Thanks !!
