Nearly 150,000 still without power in Northeast
BOSTON (AP) – Nearly 150,000 homes and businesses remain without electricity following the massive snowstorm that swept across the Northeast, with most outages in hard-hit Massachusetts.
Utilities in Massachusetts are reporting more than 126,000 of their power customers still in the dark early Monday, down from more than 400,000.
The storm started Friday night and dumped up to 3 feet of snow and knocked out power to more than 650,000 homes and businesses in eight states, from Maine to Pennsylvania
Nearly 21,000 customers in Rhode Island and 1,225 in Connecticut still were without power early Monday.
Most power has been restored in New York, down from nearly 12,000 outages. On snow-blanketed Long Island, 193 customers are still in the dark.

Exterran Holdings Inc. (EXH) is an oil and gas services company, which specializes more on natural gas services than on oil well services. One of its main businesses is natural gas compression. It has a North American fleet of 8,485 natural gas compression units and an international fleet of 1063 compression units as of Dec. 31, 2011. Unfortunately for EXH the bottom has fallen out of US natural gas prices. From their near term high last summer of $4.98/MMbtu , Nymex natural gas prices have fallen to $2.30/MMbtu as of this writing. There is a glut of natural gas. All of the new shale natural gas fields have increased the US natural gas production far beyond the current demand, and the production is increasing still. This is such a big problem that many of the natural gas producers such as Chesapeake Energy (NYSE:CHK), Ultra Petroleum (UPL), Continental Resources (NYSE:CLR), Consol Energy (NYSE:CNX), EQT Corp. (NYSE:EQT), and many others are cutting their natural gas development projects for 2012 and 2013. Some are also cutting production. This new business environment for EXH will hurt its bottom line. It has many long term contracts, but it will get fewer new ones. It may find it has more competition for both new and even existing contracts. This should impact margins.
EXH has no PE. It is losing money. It has no FPE. It is still projected to lose money for FY2013. It has a low Price/Book of 0.55; but having a lot of expensive, idle equipment around is not a formula for success. It has a Total Debt/Total Capital ratio (mrq) of 51.35%. This is high compared to the industry average of 29.06%. It has a Quick Ratio of 1.14 and an Interest Coverage ratio of 0.36. It may well have trouble paying its bills in this kind of environment. It cannot afford to have its equipment standing idle. The fiscal data above is from Yahoo Finance and TDameritrade.
If the glut in natural gas supplies were not enough of a reason, the EU is about to be officially be declared in recession. Plus the US economic numbers have been looking weaker of late. The NonFarm Payrolls data was a big disappointment on Friday. The Durable Goods Number for March was -4.2%. There will be worry that the US is catching the EU's cold until at least the next NonFarm Payrolls number. If indeed the US is catching the EU's cold, there will be further slowing on that basis. Further the time is ripe for an overall market pullback. Goldman Sachs' (NYSE:GS) Chief Forecaster, David Kostin, has a three month target on the S&P500 of 1275. The S&P500 is still a long ways from that target. Small Cap companies that are not making money (and not forecast to make money soon) should be among the hardest stocks hit in an overall market pullback. If a further slowdown due to the EU recession hits, EXH could experience yet more idle equipment -- bigger losses. Already analysts are trimming estimates for the company. The Q2 2012 average analysts' earnings estimate has fallen from -$0.27 to -$0.37 in the last three months. The FY2012 average analysts' estimate has fallen from -$1.00 to -$1.13 in the same three months. It seems destined to fall further. EXH is likely to lose business in the US, Canada, and Europe. It may see business slow downs in many other areas due to an overall world economic slow down. Meanwhile its increasingly idle equipment will obsolesce. Replacing it with newer, more sophisticated equipment will be yet another expense down the road. I think you sell this stock until such time as you see an upturn in the world economic situation and/or the natural gas development business in North America. If you are an aggressive trader, you consider shorting this stock.
The two year chart of EXH provides some technical direction for a trade.
The slow stochastic sub chart shows that EXH is near over bought levels. This is confirmed by the Bollinger Bands in the main chart. EXH has run up on the recent rebound rally in natural gas prices. However, this rally is likely over. Virtually all energy prices have been hit hard this year, with the exception of oil, and oil is beginning to get hit due to the overall weakness in the world economic situation. US natural gas prices seem unlikely to move up significantly before next winter at the earliest. There is simply no stimuli for such a move. Rather the main chart of EXH above shows that EXH is still in a strong down trend. The 200-day SMA is trending strongly downward. With the EU recession, the weakening US economic picture recently, and the likely overall market pullback, the EXH down trend is likely to continue. In fact some analysts are estimating that earnings for the drilling services companies are currently 20% to 40% too high for the expected negative environment. This estimate includes market leaders such as Halliburton (NYSE:HAL), Baker Hughes (NYSE:BHI), Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB), Nabors (NYSE:NBR), etc. A non-profitable small cap (approximately $800M) will get killed in this kind of environment. It would be smart to take advantage of the recent up blip to get into a short position. The chart shows that EXH can easily fall to the $9-$10 level. You may be able to make an easy 20%-40% by shorting this stock from its current level of $12.70. The set up is good both fundamentally and technically. Of course, you should take into account that Monday could be a rebound day from last week's selloff.
Good Luck Trading.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a short position in EXH over the next 72 hours.

Among RFID authentication protocols, HB and its variants have received widespread attention due to their strength based on the underlying LPN problem. Several variations of HB exists in extant literature, each improving on previously proposed protocols. We use the iterative nature of the HB-family of protocols to develop a means to identify the presence of an RFID tag with the knowledge of the presence of a related RFID tag. Specifically, we use a fuzzy system to accomplish this through appropriate membership value assignments. We consider a supply chain environment where two or more RFID-tagged entities have some relationship in terms of their simultaneous presence in the field of the reader.

Trying to get points ranking to order by points taken and points given.
For example: 12-0 should rank above 12-9.
Using the score system.
How would I be able to do this?
Trying to get points ranking to order by points taken and points given.
For example: 12-0 should rank above 12-9.
Using the score system.
How would I be able to do this?
Are you ranking by winning percentage? If so that's a fairly easy adjustment and could be accomplished by one of the other sports files. I think I had built that into baseball, so if we need to build a sport file for your particular need, we can do that.
The system is each match is a set of 3 games. First to 3 and each game one is 3 points.
Want to rank by the first set of points first and if they're equal then to rank by the second set so for example:
21 - 6
18 - 0
18 - 6
18 - 9
15 - 3
12 - 0
As a temporary solution, try this:
Go to your league's preference settings, in the 'Point Rule' setting select 'User defined'. You'll get five boxes that allow you to set how points are awarded for wins, wins in overtime, ties, losses, and losses in overtime. It looks like you are awarding three points for a win, so set the first box to 3, then set the fourth box to -0.01. This way the losses will be negative, but not so much as to drop an 18-9 team below a 15-3 team. On the standings page only integers are shown, but in the database the numbers are floating with two decimal points.
Thanks, found a more permanent solution. Your hint about sports files made me create a custom sport that had this as its rank team method:
function rankTeams( $teams )
foreach ( $teams AS $key => $row ) {
$plus[$key] = $row->points['plus'] + $row->add_points;
$minus[$key] = $row->points['minus'];
$done[$key] = $row->done_matches;
array_multisort($plus, SORT_DESC, $minus, SORT_ASC, $done, SORT_ASC, $teams);
return $teams;
Excellent, an even better solution that you can tweak if needed...

Diddy Dirty Money with Lloyd and Tyga at Epic, 4/13/11
Diddy Dirty Money with Lloyd and Tyga
April 13, 2011
Epic Nightclub
For this write-up, I could have skated by making jokes about how Diddy changed his name three times during the show or whatever -- but I'm a journalist dammit, not Jay Leno. I came to check out the Dirty Money show because I was honestly interested in where Diddy was going with this.
The show started off smoothly, with Raw Villa affiliate Shioneas hosting everything. Opener Tyga from Young Money had some great energy, the kind you need as a young and hungry rapper who's opening for a big name. Lloyd reminded me of my distaste for most post-Usher R'n'B, with his attempts at Michael Jackson dancing and Michael Jackson's songs. He helped sum up the idea behind the sound of the show to come.
Opener Tyga warms up the crowd
Diddy's latest album, Last Train To Paris, with the Dirty Money singers Dawn Richard and Kalenna Harper (who was on stage for the first time tonight), is a high-minded stab at Kanye's latest approach to soulful hip-hop that mostly holds its own. With it, Diddy is making an effort to get his name back in the audience's mind as an artist, and last night was the first stop on his tour to promote the album and his new sound.
The show is indeed a whole new experience, probably for Diddy as much as us. The concert is an over-the-top performance worth seeing for the spectacle alone. If the parts that seem lip-synced bothered anyone else, I justified it by comparing the show to a DJ spinning club beats with live instrumentation, dancers, video screens and a celebrity host. Don't get me wrong, there was quite a lot of performance on stage. If Diddy indeed was inspired by Kanye for this new batch of songs, it seems lately he's been inspired by newcomer Lil B as well, with "swag" shouted as an aside several times and even a rendition on B's cooking dance. The two rappers do share a sense of underlying positivity, an approach to music, and a pleasant ridiculousness, and the new generation seems to be invigorating Diddy's latest material.
As I type this, Diddy is on Twitter posting fan's pics from the show, and is clearly very excited about his Minneapolis stop. He even stopped his set briefly in the middle to profess his love for our city, and especially Prince and Purple Rain This is not the first time a visiting artist has done so, but how often do these artists jump right into a deep cut from Prince's 1999 immediately afterwards? Diddy did just that with a cover of "Something In The Water (Does Not Compute)," which indeed revealed that this wasn't just lip service; Diddy is clearly inspired by the Purple One.
Writing off Diddy's album as bitten from Kanye doesn't include the whole picture. The main thing Diddy lifted was the ambition. As he said at one point during the set (while drawing attention to the fact that his pants had split up the leg), "this is work. Ya'll paid your money, right? We ain't just gonna walk back and forth and grab our nuts; this is gonna be a show," And suddenly I saw shades of Doomtree, and the work ethic that permeates in underground rap. Between the set and the encore, Diddy reminded us where he once was with a touching tribute to Notorious B.I.G., replaying the highs and lows of the early part of their career together via video screen. When he came back out, he let classic Biggie verses rock for a bit and had the audience rap along.
Tyga and Lloyd were both done with their shift and were watching the show from the VIP section upstairs. After the Biggie tribute came the classics; all the Bad Boy era stuff that made me go "Oh yeah, that song!" The breadth of Diddy's music is pretty impressive. Prior to this show, I don't know that I ever fully appreciated just how much he's done. The context help made his closing songs, Paris singles "Coming Home" and "Good Morning," sound that much better.
I had mediocre thoughts about the album initially, thinking the generic rapping and love-lorn lyrics lacked an emotional specificity, and that moments that were specific ("Have you ever made love in marmalade?/Are you sure that's what you wanna do?") were, um, interesting. There's a lot of good stuff on it, but it didn't really hit until I saw the Dirty Money show in full. This is spectacle music; if it didn't seem strong to me, it's because I didn't see Diddy in his wife-beater doing synchronized dance moves and pantomiming crucifixion.
The other main difference between Diddy and Kanye is that, while this is certainly ego-driven melodramatic club music, Diddy is able to play the back and let the singers, beats, or pre-recorded guest spots from Lil' Wayne and Rick Ross take the center. It was exciting to see Diddy on his premiere show, and he was definitely appreciative of the responsive audience. Everyone really seemed to be eating it up, and Diddy played off the reactions by amping up his energy. As someone who's seen his share of lackluster rap performances, Diddy proved to me that flighty but ambitious beats talented and lazy any day of the week. I would suggest anyone with doubts to check out Diddy's impressive stage show if they get the chance.
Personal Bias: This is sort of a permanent personal bias that all arts journalists have, but I didn't pay to go to this show. The door price was $50, but I'm reviewing what, to me, was a free show. The $10 "The Diddy" cocktail (his brand vodka and lemonade, which doesn't seem like a drink that needs it's own name) I purchased set off my natural cheapskate alarms, and my opinions of the show might be different if I had wound up spending 6 times that tonight.

Tekkit Restrict (requires Tekkit Classic)

Tekkit Restrict uses Hidendra's plugin metrics system, and as of version 1.18 also uses TMetrics by Taeir. This means that the following information is collected and sent to mcstats.org and metrics.taico.nl:
- A unique identifier
- The server's Java version
- Whether the server is in offline or online mode
- The plugin's version
- The minecraft version of the server
- The OS version/name and architecture
- The amount of CPU cores
- The amount of memory allocated to your server
- The number of players online
- The Metrics version
If you wish to disable Metrics, you can do so by opt-ing out, which you can do in the Metrics config file under /plugins/PluginMetrics/
You can disable TMetrics in the General.config.yml file under /plugins/TekkitRestrict/
Tekkit Restrict has a built-in auto-updater, which connects to BukkitDev to check for updates. If you want to change or disable this behaviour, you can change the update settings in the General.config.yml file.

I have problem with adding Disable the left or right click with the item. When i use - "27562:1 right" it block right and left click why and in eepatch when i set to false it not work like Pickaxe:
- Break-3 is an ability that DM and RM Pickaxes and Shovels, and the Red
- Morning Star has.
- It allows you to break 3 blocks at a time (instead of the default 1).
- The pattern it breaks these blocks in is dependent on the mode
- (Tall, Wide or Long) Break-3: Tall: false Wide: false Long: false

Please could you add the ability to disable the swift wolfs rendering gale and the other flying rings capability in the safezones as sometimes you don't want people to be able to fly around freely at a spawn and I want them to keep their inventory's. Your plugin from what i have seen is one of the best for this thing and any other plugin man not be able to disable it. Please add this to a future update as this plugin is the only solution I can see that will actually work.
Thanks, Morrison.

i can confirm this isue, an easy fix would be to add an option in which some blocks couldnt be placed together. In this case cant place pipes next to condensors. Thats treating the simptoms and not a real fix, the funy part is i cant find any plugin which can do that...

This is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek rebuttal to Curtis Franklin Jr.'s InformationWeek article, "9 Reasons Flash Must Die, and Soon".
Let's run this down: The world is going mobile. There's no doubt that more and more of our computing lives happen on handheld devices. Those handheld devices are getting smaller. It won't be long before you can use the edge of a smart phone to take care of unwanted body hair. And with the thinner devices comes a smaller set of batteries.
Because JavaScript is an interpreted language, it's heavy — so heavy that, in conjunction with the way HTML renders video, it's an absolute battery killer.
Many development systems have numerous internal checks to make sure that the code developed is safe for distribution to the big wide world. JavaScript isn't one of those systems. JavaScript has, historically, allowed all kinds of code to run. To make life better, JavaScript has provided access to a variety of juicy system components in its attempt to allow the best and most impressive animation.
Now, the good folks at W3C have improved JavaScript and its security over the years, but there are still several qualities that make JavaScript a security weakness — we'll get to those shortly. In the meantime, know that JavaScript's naive trust in developers and code would be charming — if it were running on someone else's system.
There's a lot of really good software out there that's proprietary. There's also a lot of very good software that comes from one or another open ecosystem. When you're looking for weakness, though, a closed system can legitimately be considered a point that's not particularly strong.
Funny, that.
When you want to save a graphics file or animated selection, you're generally presented with an extensive list of options. The newer* H.264 video format, with its lovely .mp4 (a format used by nothing else) presents you with yet another media file type to keep track of, store, and consider in the panoply of files that go into a modern website.
Is a file format inherently evil? Well, no, but life is complicated enough. When there are animation options available that don't require you to use YAMF, do yourself a favor and cut through the media clutter.
* – Newer than Flash
Flash isn't the single most complicated programming environment to learn and use, but unless you live your entire professional life inside the Adobe Creative Cloud it's different from any of the other languages you use (except JavaScript and other ECMAScript-inspired languages). Who really needs that kind of complication? Go with an established standard, and use the time you save for more productive activities — like watching more cat videos.
Browsers have presented such a rich set of targets to hackers that developers have spent the last decade (and more) chasing an ever-evolving series of vulnerabilities and exploits. And the nature of browsers means that this game is going to continue.
To a certain extent, this is a game that every set of developers plays with the hackers determined to keep them busy. In browsers' cases, though, their nature as integrated development systems, interpreters, and embedded technologies means many more holes in which those darned hacker-moles can hide. Not even W3C's standards can provide enough recommendations to use on their pointy little heads.
Remember that game of Whack-a-Mole we mentioned? One of the ways that browser programmers deal with the exploits is by releasing updates. And users of the browsers can blithely ignore each and every one of them.
There are thousands of users now using versions of browsers that date back years — versions filled to overflowing with known vulnerabilities and problems. If some of those users are on your payroll, then they might well provide a path from their funny coffee-break animated shorts straight into your corporate files.
Have you ever found a great Web video and then another, and another? Then you looked up and an hour had passed? So have your employees. And we're blaming browsers.
Cute Web video is the greatest enemy of productivity since March Madness. Without all those nifty singing cartoons about the latest crop of moronic politicians, we could all probably work three-day weeks and get as much done.
Darn you, brilliant video producers!
See, an article like this is proof positive that you don't need Flash to take up your time. Great sarcasm can do that job just fine, thank you.

MovieClips have been the stalwart workhorse of Flash since the very earliest days of ActionScript, so I'll skip the details and gushing adoration and instead move on to some of the shortcomings:
So you can now probably guess what SwagMovieClip does.
As with most of the SwAG classes, SwagMovieClip doesn't make assumptions about how it's going to be used. You can either extend it:
import core.instances.SwagMovieClip; public class myMovieClip extends SwagMovieClip { ...
…or you can instantiate it (just make sure to pass a reference to the MovieClip instance you want to control to the constructor):
import flash.display.MovieClip; import core.instances.SwagMovieClip; public class myMovieClip extends MovieClip { var swgClip:SwagMovieClip; public function myMovieClip() { this.swgClip=new SwagMovieClip(this); ...
If you're extending SwagMovieClip, all of the class' methods can be invoked using simply "this". For example, to play the clip 3 times at double speed from the "startAnimation" frame to the "endAnimation" frame would look like:
this.playRange("startAnimation", "endAnimation", false, true, 3, 2);
Using the instantiation method, this would be:
swgClip.playRange("startAnimation", "endAnimation", false, true, 3, 2);
As you can probably guess, the playRange method plays from a starting frame (label or index), to an ending frame (label or index), optionally resetting to the start of the animation when done, optionally looping (including a specified number of loops), and at an optional playback speed (2 for double speed, 0.5 for half speed, etc.) This works just as well if the starting frame comes after the ending frame — the clip will play backwards with the specified parameters. Essentially, this one function covers the first three shortcomings I mentioned above.
A related method is playToNextLabel which, as the name suggests, will play the clip from its current position with the supplied parameters until the next label is detected. As with the playRange method, the label might precede the current (starting) frame. Here's the method signature from the SwagMovieClip class showing all the parameters:
playToNextLabel(startFrame:*, includeLabelFrame:Boolean=false, resetOnEnd:Boolean=false, loop:Boolean=false, repeatLoops:uint=0, playSpeed:Number=1)
The addition of a pause method might seem a little redundant but it comes in handy when you need to determine if an active animation is currently in progress (and paused), or simply stopped. One great reason for wanting this information is to know whether to play out the remaining animation loop such as when a game character is coming to a rest after moving. In fact, games are primarily why I built SwagMovieClip (I used similar functionality to control the animations in the Sidekicks vs. Villains game).
Along these lines I also added a frame trigger mechanism, a method call that's made whenever a target frame is reached during an animation. Here's an example (minus the "this" or "swgClip" part):
public function myFrameTrigger():void { trace ("Frame 9 was just reached in the animation"); } ... addFrameTrigger(9, myFrameTrigger);
Obviously I skipped a detail; the addFrameTrigger call belongs in a function somewhere, but otherwise this is pretty much all you'd need. In this case, the myFrameTrigger method will be triggered any time frame 9 of the animation is reached. Since the other methods (playRange, etc.) are responsible for actually starting the animation, all of their features can be used in combination with addFrameTrigger. Here's a slightly extended example from the one above:
public function myFrameTrigger():void { trace ("Frame 9 was just reached in the animation"); } ... addFrameTrigger(9, myFrameTrigger); playRange (10, 8);
Here we're playing the clip backwards from frame 10 to frame 8 (all other parameters are default — no looping or custom speed), and the myFrameTrigger method should be invoked on frame 9 of the animation. To loop the animation 7 times (stopping on the last frame), at half the current frame rate, the same code would be updated to:
public function myFrameTrigger():void { trace ("Frame 9 was just reached in the animation"); } ... addFrameTrigger(9, myFrameTrigger); playRange (10, 8, false, true, 7, 0.5);
Every time frame 9 is encountered here during playback our trigger will be invoked.
Triggers are useful for figuring out how a game character is supposed to be interacting with an environment, for example. If your game character is picking something up from a table, the target object should be "attached" to the character's hand only when the hand animation is at a certain position. This isn't hard to achieve by hardcoding frame values into your code but becomes cumbersome if you need to change the animation length, and even more difficult when you need to start playing the animation in various non-standard ways.
Most of SwagMovieClip's other functionality comes straight from MovieClip along with expected behaviours. As with any other SwAG class, I won't recommend using SwagMovieClip unless you actually have a need for such functionality (why bloat your code?) but if you find you're struggling with customizing your MovieClip animations then this might be worth a gander.
P.S. Thanks for another mention, Adobe!

I admit to having more than a soft spot for Adobe's technology, but that's not why I was so peeved when Steve Jobs made his much ballyhooed announcement that Flash on mobile was just the worst thing since Hitler.
For starters, much of Jobs' characterization was just plain wrong. His problems with Flash not being "open" were gloriously misinformed as Adobe's open source efforts, which included Flash and Flex, plus many of the video, audio, and networking technologies they contain, were already well established as open source technologies at that point.
If the argument is that the Flash virtual machine isn't open source, one can easily turn that around and correctly state that Safari, the virtual machine for HTML5 / JavaScript, is also not open source. To say that Apple has been a champion of giving people choice is not exactly true, so claiming that they're championing HTML5 "for the people" is equally as dubious. In fact, HTML5 itself is not as open as some may claim.
Jobs' insistence that HTML5 is a "standard" was equally incorrect, as the myriad of sites, services, and projects that have sprung up trying to either work around or at least document the many incompatibilities, quirks, and just old plain lack of support in the HTML5 "standard" attest to. This lack of standardization is so pronounced that it alone can be used to successfully identify individual browsers and de-anonymize users (perhaps even much worse).
Jobs didn't think Flash was needed to access video since HTML5 formats like H.264 (MP4) were so ubiquitous. On this point I'd have to agree, but that was never the sole reason that Flash became synonymous with online video. The reason Adobe's player won out was because of a robust server architecture that, coupled with Adobe's edge Content Delivery Networks, makes the technology a viable solution. Delivering MP4 streams over HTTP to browsers from a server farm is a lot more prohibitive, with cost being just one factor.
In his Flash critique, Jobs made the unsubstantiated claim that Flash was the number one reason why Macs crashed, a statement he never bothered to back up and which, as far as I know, was purely fictional or at best incredibly scape-goaty.
While Flash wasn't a great mobile experience, mostly because it wasn't set up to both deal with mobile gestures and co-exist on a web page, the same could be said of unresponsive or badly designed HTML5 sites. And whatever shortcomings the Flash player had, I'm sure they could have been addressed.
I'm not the only person to think that Flash was done away with unjustly. Amazon is trying to revive it for their devices, BlackBerry never lost it, and it Android can't quite seem to shake itself of it. Judging by the popularity of the "How do I manually install Flash on my mobile device?" topic over at Adobe — 24.7 million views as of today– Flash is far from fading away.
The biggest injustice in this debacle, however, is the one I see being imposed on web developers.
As someone who has worked in ActionScript 3 for years, going to HTML5 / CSS3 / JavaScript was like taking a step ten years into the past. The same issues we were dealing with in Flash back then — performance, load times, code organization — are all back with a vengeance.
Even something as basic as frame-based animation is only partially supported in most modern HTML5-capable browsers with most requiring reams of code and workarounds for "full compatibility".
Rudimentary sound support, along with the same issues we were grappling with in Flash many years ago (synchronization, maximum mixing channels, etc.), has made it's way into HTML5. Instantly, developers learned that the web "standard" wasn't quite up living up to its name.
Companies too have learned that they prematurely jumped on the HTML5 bandwagon and have had to re-think their approaches.
But it's not that HTML5 is terrible.
In fact, as devices get faster and capable of handling more complex code, the mobile browser will slowly evolve to become it's own robust virtual machine, much as Java and the Flash player are now. Eventually, much of what is today erroneously called a "standard" will actually become one, mostly, give or take, across most browsers. But we're not even close to getting there yet.
Still, now that I've had time to truly immerse myself in HTML5 and experience how it works across browsers and devices, I see the potential for a much improved web experience.
Up front, the only real improvements are in the tools available for expression — better ways to animate, addition of sound and audio, improved font handling, dynamic drawing APIs, and so on. This can all be put together to produce nice, expressive web sites and games, examples of which are more quite numerous these days. I've even done a couple myself. And it's because of this exposure that I can't recommend HTML5 for anything other than nice, expressive sites and somewhat basic interactive games. The so-called "standards" required for more demanding code are simply not up to snuff and are more often a hindrance than a help.

Yeah, application frameworks are a dime a dozen these days. That's why SwAG isn't a framework but rather a toolkit — the Swiss Army Gear toolkit for ActionScript 3, to be exact.
As the name implies, this small-ish library contains useful code that can be employed wherever needed, as needed, without the full weight or presumptuousness of a full-on framework. In other words, it should be useful for you whether you have a project that's well under way or are just starting out.
Because the library has lots of disparate features, I'll be dedicating a number of future posts discussing them in detail and providing (hopefully) useful examples. Here is a brief preview:
Some of these are used extensively in SocialCastr and Araknid and they definitely made my life easier. SwAG doesn't presume to be the only code running so adding it or removing it, mid-project or otherwise, is easy and straightforward. I've chosen to not include it in pure AS3 projects like TorAS or WRASE because they're much more useful as autonomous libraries. Applications, however, are meant to be used rather than incorporated into other projects, so in those cases I happily stick SwAG into every nook and cranny.
SwAG had additional functionality which has been yanked since these make way more sense as individual projects:
I don't know if / when I'll get around to updating and publishing these but I'm not averse to sharing if you want to get in touch with me directly.
Otherwise, grab yourself a copy of the pretty-well-documented toolkit here: https://code.google.com/p/swag-as/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk
…and stay tuned for SwAG fun and frolic.

As I mentioned earlier, accessing the Windows Registry tends to require Administrator privileges (via UAC) in many cases. The ActionScript library I wrote for this purpose, unfortunately, is no different.
In the previous version of WRASE, all Registry operations were done this way, which has many and obviously sucky connotations. To get around this, the users of your application could always disable UAC altogether, or there's the option of running it in Administrator mode, but both solutions are less than ideal.
Luckily, there's a third option.
But first, the bad news: most Windows Registry keys still require Administrator privileges to update. The only Windows Registry key tree that's mostly update-able without Admin rights is "HKEY_CURRENT_USER". I say mostly because there are sub-keys that are also inaccessible to non-Admin updates, usually because they've been created by other privileged processes or are in some other way locked.
The good news: almost all of the settings and information that you may need to have update access to is within "HKEY_CURRENT_USER". Most other keys are still accessible as read-only, which makes sense once you start looking at what they contain. Also, if you really do need to update these keys, WRASE can do so by launching the registry editor with Admin rights as it did in the previous version.
To accommodate this I've made some changes to WRASE. The most notable include:
While making the recent spate of changes I learned that there are additional ways of accessing the Windows Registry that are more direct ("reg.exe" simply has more options than "regedit.exe"), which is extremely useful when accessing high-level keys. The current version of WRASE exports such keys and all their sub-keys which can produce massive amounts of data; usable in theory, but in practice not so much. This has elegant solutions but until someone complains I'd rather work on other projects, so please drop me a line if you are running into problems or need some improvements.

I imagine that this application would benefit from a little TorAS integration but in the meantime it's still pretty useful [downloads are at the bottom of this post].
Since I spent time figuring out how to describe it on Google Code, I thought I'd rather post that than hurt my brain again. So here's what Araknid does:
[Araknid is] An Adobe AIR application that crawls and archives web pages and assets such as images and scripts into a searchable/convertible SQLite database file. Use it to create a deep search index of your (or any other) site, your intranet, or even the whole web. Uses user-defined regular expressions to match and extrapolate links and other dynamic site information. Built on SwAG Toolkit ActionScript 3 application framework, user interface developed in Flash CS6 (.fla file). Dynamically supports latest versions of Adobe AIR on mobile.
Araknid is still quite new, meaning database interactions will need to be optimized, regular expressions will need to be tweaked, and some important features will need to be added (for example, crawl only under a specific URL or domain). But core functionality should be there, along with plenty of room for growth for anyone who wants to fiddle with the source code.
Here's what you'll see when you run the software…the legend is below:
1. Click here to select where the Araknis database (SQLite) will be stored. Once set, clicking here will open the SQLLite database file in the default application.
2. Pauses and unpauses any currently running crawl.
3. Opens the currently running crawl URL (#6) in a new browser window (if you're curious to see what's being crawled).
4. Variable crawl delay (in seconds). Prevents servers from flagging Araknid as an attacker or malware.
5. The percentage loaded of the currently running crawl URL (#6).
6. The currently running crawl URL. Pause Araknid, enter your own URL, and unpause to start a new crawl.
7. Countdown clock showing when the next crawl will happen (in seconds). Based on the crawl delay (#4).
8. A list of URLs extracted from the currently running crawl URL. These are added to the database (if not already crawled), and queued for subsequent crawls.
TIP: Rename or delete the database file to reset Araknid (like a new install).
ADVANCED TIP: You can update the regular expressions used to filter / extract URLs from various HTML tags. To do this:
1. Shut down Araknid.
2. Update the configuration XML file (config.xml) in the Araknid installation directory (for example, C:\Program Files (x86)\Araknid\config.xml).
3. Delete the Araknid application storage folder: C:\Users\[YOUR USER NAME]\AppData\Roaming\Araknid\Local Store
WARNING: This step resets your application settings (you'll need to re-select the database file on next startup if you want to continue previous crawls).
4. On next restart, Araknid will use the new regular expressions for subsequent crawls.
All desktop operating systems:
Windows (32/64-bit):
Source code (ActionScript / Flash CS6 user interface):
…and something to view the resulting SQLite database:

This TorAS thing is going to be a lengthy project — there's still lots left to implement and older code to one day upgrade — but I received some great feedback about the appropriateness of communicating over Tor using unencrypted HTTP (it's not very appropriate in many situations). So I've branched the current stable version and added TLS/SSL support (courtesy of as3crypto), in a development branch:
I'll add it back into the main branch as soon as I get some time to document it fully, but the bulk of the new functionality has been covered in the updated Developers Guide:
I may also have added source code comments so have a peek.
TorAS ActionScript source code is made public under a liberal license (MIT), developed on open source technology (FlashDevelop), incorporating open source technology (Tor "Expert Bundle" binary , released under a similar license and spirit), and comes with a handy step-by-step guide. It's most powerful on Windows (on account of the bundled Tor binary), but you should be able to use it on AIR for Android with something like Orbot (is there an official Tor router app for iOS?), and in fact anywhere AIR and Tor can run together.

Hill, who attended North Alabama, was the NFL rookie of the year in 1954 after being drafted in the 15th round by the Bears, and became the first winner of the Jim Thorpe Trophy as the NFL's most valuable player in 1955. In nine seasons with the Bears, Pittsburgh Steelers and Detroit Lions, he had 233 receptions for 4,717 yards and 40 touchdowns. He averaged 20.2 yards per catch. The Harlon Hill Trophy has been presented in Florence for the past 27 years on the eve of the Division II championship game.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: SanDisk SlotRadio To Go MP3 Player w/500+ Songs (Electronics)
I purchased this little player for my grandson for Christmas, but wasn't sure if the music would be appropriate for a nine year old. I asked his mother to listen to the music and approve or disapprove as necessary, and I don't think she's going to give it to him. She likes it too much, and I'll probably have to buy him another one!!

We had to attend a wedding in Oakhurst so we decided to try the Chukchansi casino. What a surprise. It was a very pleasant experience. We went at the end of August when it was very hot. The casino and the rooms were very comfortable. Speaking of the rooms, they were larger than most and we had the most comfortable beds compared to most places we have stayed. The restaurants were great and having valet parking was a plus. Staff couldn't have been nicer. It was a great experience and we would do it again in a heart beat.
