The conference presented some challenges that are inherent in any truly international conference. Most revolved around language and reminded me of how as Americans we are very accustom to the rest of the world accommodating us by speaking English. One day I attended a film only to learn that it was in Polish with French subtitles. Then I went to a lecture that was in French, but had no translation available although for most sessions they did provide translation. At that point I threw up my hands and decided to take advantage of a rare sunny day in Paris and do some exploring.
As a "good student" I am not much good at cutting classes, but Paris beckoned and off I went to explore Montmartre. As previously noted, I am intrigued by cemeteries so after trekking through the small streets that surround Sacre Coeur, we did a stop at the Montmartre Cemetery. Interestingly the highway bridge goes over the cemetery so as we walked across the bridge we could see through the metal lattice to the tombstones below. It appeared to have been measured carefully to just clear one particularly tall memorial. The cemetery was of an older vintage where many of the memorials were in the form of a booth the size of a telephone booth, essentially a small chapel. Pere Lachaise is similar in style while Montparnasse seemed somewhat more contemporary. Part of the intrigue of cemeteries is how they compress time so significant figures from different times can co-exist. Unlike Montparnasse Cemetery which had many artists and writers, there were far fewer names we recognized at Montmartre. We went in search of Degas and Gustav Moreau and found the de Gas family tomb and the bonus of Nijinsky who had an interesting sculpture atop his tomb. Gustav went undiscovered.
The following day we went out to explore the Marais, the old Jewish district and the more contemporary hip neighborhood that surrounds it. The old Jewish district is largely concentrated around Rue de Rosier and Rue Vielle du Temple. The area is noteworthy for its plaques that detail the deportation of children from two of the neighborhood schools. I watched a diverse group of students gather in front of one of the schools as I thought about the tragic history that preceded them. The plaque noted that 260 Jewish students from that school had been deported to Germany during WWII. I have seen similar plaques at schools throughout the city. I wondered what these students knew of the events that had affected their predecessors. In a reflection of more current times, a plaque notes the terrorist grenade that killed several more recently at what used to be Goldenbergs. When I was here three years ago it still had the original awning, now it has become a clothing store. Yet another plaque speaks of the deportation of a family from their home. And yet life goes on in this district which is still inhabited by many Jews. On the Rue de Rosiers is a synagogue that was designed by Guimand, the art nouveau designer of the metro stations. Delis abound as do falafel stands.
Near this district is the Hotel de Ville where a show is currently up on the children who were deported. July 17th, the day prior to our visit, was the 70th anniversary of this event. Pictures of classes of students show a handful wearing yellow stars. What was most chilling were the teachers' record books which note the date the student enrolled, year of birth and then the notation "disparu", disappeared. A sign on a park notes that it is for children to play with the exception of Jewish children. The Vel d'hiv, the former site of cycle races, was used as the gathering place for families prior to deportation. This location has received far more attention with the release of the book and movie "Sarah's Key". Thirteen thousand people were crowded together with one toilet and virtually no food. There were 4000 children among them. The gathering place was a horrific indicator of what was to come. Perhaps most chilling was the fact that only French policemen were involved in the gathering of Jews at this site. It was done with great stealth with only one picture available as documentation of the buses gathered at the Vel d'Hiv. Of the 300,000 Jews who lived in France, 75,000 were deported.

Ten Reasons to Ditch Your Lawn and Garden Chemicals
Read the Long, Referenced Version:
Why Organic Landscaping?
(Excerpted from the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA) Organic Lawn and Turf Handbook, 2007)
First, What is Organic?
The word "organic," as we use it here, comes from organic agriculture. The ideas and methods of organic agriculture have been developed over the last 60 years through a rich exchange among farmers, researchers and activists all over the world. The mission of the NOFA Organic Land Care Program is to extend the vision and principles of organic agriculture to the landscapes where people spend their daily lives.
The primary goals of organic land care are:
- Maintaining soil health;
- Eliminating the use of synthetic pesticides and synthetic fertilizers;
- Increasing landscape diversity;
- Improving the health and well being of the people and web of life in our care.
The full definition of organic land care – how we apply those goals to the real world – is fleshed out in the NOFA Standards for Organic Land Care: Practices for Design and Maintenance of Ecological Landscapes. This publication covers a very broad range of landscape and environmental issues. Some important points that apply to organic lawns and turf include:
- No synthetic pesticides, including insecticides, fungicides and herbicides;
- No synthetic fertilizers;
- No genetically engineered organisms;
- Building healthy soil that can support diverse soil life as well as strong growth of healthy grass;
- Reducing the potential for nitrogen or phosphorus pollution by limiting the amount of organic fertilizers applied and adjusting the timing of application;
- Using good cultural practices to encourage the growth of healthy grass and reduce the need for irrigation and other inputs;
- Increasing diversity of plant cultivars and species where appropriate – depending on how the lawn will be used and the standards of the client.
There is, of course, a completely different meaning of the word "organic," one that refers to molecules that contain carbon atoms, as in "organic chemistry." This is not the meaning we are using here. This other definition sometimes causes confusion with respect to fertilizers. Fertilizers that include ingredients like sewage sludge or urea, which are not acceptable under organic standards for agriculture or land care, sometimes are labeled "organic" under the "organic chemistry" definition.
Concerns About Pesticides
The demand for organic lawns and athletic turf is driven by concerns about human health and the environment. Organic management is beneficial to human health and the environment in many ways: eliminating the use of synthetic pesticides; building a diverse, robust ecological system that holds nutrients and water; reducing pollution due to leaching and run-off; and recharging groundwater and streams with clean fresh water. Because concerns about pesticides are foremost in the minds of the general public, this chapter will focus on pesticide issues.
A pesticide, according the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, is "any substance intended for preventing, destroying, repelling, or mitigating any pest." Pests include a wide range of "living organisms that occur where they are not wanted or cause damage to crops or humans or other animals." In addition to insects, these include weeds, fungi, bacteria and viruses that cause disease in plants, and animals such as mice and slugs that attack desirable plants or occur where they aren't wanted (1).
Pesticides may be needed in certain situations to protect against the spread of human pathogens. However, evidence of harmful effects of pesticides on human health and the environment has increased steadily since the first alarms were raised by the book Silent Spring in 1962. As the evidence has accumulated, some pesticides that once were widely used have been restricted or banned. These pesticides were, of course, hazardous to human health and the environment all along, but the hazards were only recognized and established through scientific studies after many years of use.
There are several reasons why it takes so long to fully understand the hazards of pesticides, even those on the market today:
There can be a long time between pesticide exposure and the appearance of chronic disease. Cancer in humans, for example, may show up 20– 30 years after exposure to a carcinogenic pesticide (2).
There may be a critical time in development when pesticide exposure will result in major health problems much later in life. Studies have shown that fetuses and young children are particularly sensitive to the effects of pesticides (3,4). These effects may show up as cancer, as deformities of the reproductive system or as effects on the development of the nervous system, which affect learning and behavior, but are only detected years after the exposure.
New studies (5,6) are also showing that exposure of a parent to pesticides is associated with birth defects, cancer and reproductive effects in the next generation. This includes exposure of fathers, not just pregnant mothers.
Scientists continue to discover new risks associated with pesticides that were not known 20 or 30 years ago. The entire field of endocrine disruption, the study of the interference of synthetic chemicals in the normal signals carried by hormones throughout the body, has developed tremendously since the landmark book on the subject, Our Stolen Future, was published 10 years ago (7). One of the surprising discoveries has been that pesticides and other synthetic chemicals can have adverse effects on hormonal systems in mice at very low concentrations – much lower than had previously been considered a hazard (8). There has been great resistance to incorporating this information into government regulatory requirements because it would require setting limits for human exposure that are hundreds or thousands of times lower than they are today.
We are all exposed to a mixture of pesticides and other potentially harmful chemicals in our environment. A recent Environmental Working -2 Group study found an average of 200 contaminants (industrial chemicals, pesticides and other pollutants) per baby in the umbilical cord blood of newborns (9), and other studies have also shown a "body burden" of dozens to hundreds of these contaminants in every person in the U.S. (10). This makes studies of environmental chemicals and disease in the human population difficult because we are all exposed at some level – there is no unexposed population to serve as a control group. In addition, there is increasing evidence that combinations of chemicals can have much greater effects than each one separately (11,12), increasing the hazard and also the difficulty of scientific study.
To evaluate the effects of pesticides on "nontarget" organisms, the Federal government requires that tests to determine acute toxic effects be conducted on just a few indicator species (such as bobwhite quail, rainbow trout, carp and honey bees) before a pesticide can be registered. These tests cannot predict the effects of pesticides on the universe of other animals, plants, microbes and ecological systems.
There are only a few studies on the effects of long-term, low-level exposure on non-target organisms. In shore nesting herons, for example, the organophosphate and carbamate insecticides found in the diets of the chicks do not kill them outright, but affect their behavior so that they are more susceptible to attack by scavenging beetles in the nest and by predators (13). Detailed studies of the effects of a mixture of pesticides, each at very low concentration, on frogs found multiple subtle effects: delayed metamorphosis, reduced size and immunosuppression leading to bacterial infection (12). One study found that an insecticide and a fungicide, both known to be endocrine disruptors in mammals, also interfered at very low concentrations with the signaling between a leguminous plant and the symbiotic bacteria that fixes nitrogen in its roots (14).
Thus, the arguments for eliminating pesticides or increasing restrictions on pesticide use are:
- There is considerable scientific evidence that associates cancers, birth defects, hormonal disruption and neurological effects with pesticides still used today (15).
- There is also evidence of damage to wildlife and ecological systems (13).
- Pesticides that are now recognized as hazardous were widely used for years, exposing millions of people and sensitive ecological systems before the pesticide hazards were adequately understood.
- Even after hazards have been scientifically demonstrated, additional legal and political pressures are often required to restrict or eliminate even the most hazardous pesticides.
- The relationships between pesticide exposure and human illness are inherently time-consuming to study. Even a strong relationship may be difficult to prove in a timely and efficient way. If, as demonstrated in animal studies, a parent's pesticide exposure can result in damage to the reproductive system for four subsequent generations (16), then the effects of our current pesticide use may not be fully evident for many decades to come.
- Lack of proof of harm is not necessarily evidence of safety. It can also mean that a possible harmful effect has not yet been studied, or that studies thus far have not yielded a clear result. As discussed above, some effects of pesticides take many years and a large research commitment to demonstrate conclusively.
Organic Pesticides
In organic agriculture, and now in organic land care, the philosophy has always been to avoid the use of pesticides as much as possible through management of the entire ecological system to avoid pest problems. These non-chemical methods – such as planting insect- and disease-resistant varieties, avoiding monocultures, building healthy soil with diverse soil life and altering growing conditions to reduce susceptibility to pests and disease – are listed as "Preferred" in the NOFA Standards for Organic Land Care, which have been developed and published by the NOFA Organic Land Care Program.
The NOFA Standards for Organic Land Care uses a standard for evaluating the active ingredients of pesticides that is similar to that used by the USDA National Organic Program for organic agriculture, but does not attempt to evaluate inert ingredients of pesticides. This means that the standard of the National Organic Program for pesticides is higher than that of the Organic Land Care committee, and any pesticides approved by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) for use in organic agriculture would also be allowed under the NOFA Standards for Organic Land Care. There are additional materials, such as the spinosad insecticide Conserve®, and the iron phosphate molluscide Sluggo®, that are allowed under organic land care standards but not under USDA standards because of the presence of either undisclosed or synthetic inert ingredients.
Note that OMRI-approved fertilizers are NOT necessarily allowed under organic land care standards. The Organic Land Care Committee has maintained a different position than that of the National Organic Program about the highly soluble, mined fertilizer sodium (Chilean) nitrate. The Organic Land Care Committee decided that Chilean nitrate is not acceptable in organic land care. Thus, fertilizers that are OMRI-approved for organic agriculture but contain Chilean nitrate would be prohibited under organic land care standards.
In both organic agriculture and organic land care, some pesticides are allowed. Organic standards have always been much more restrictive than those of the U.S. government. The basic principles used in deciding which pesticides to allow are that allowed pesticides should be based on natural products, not synthetic chemicals, and natural products that are known to be highly toxic (such as nicotine) are not allowed. Some specific examples of pesticides allowed in organic agriculture and land care are:
- Microbial pesticides, such as Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), spinosad, Milky Spore®, Beauveria bassiana (a fungus that attacks insects) and formulations of microbes that are antagonists or competitors of plant pathogens;
- Botanical pesticides, such as pyrethrin, neem, hot pepper wax and clove oil, as well as plantbased horticultural oil;
- Certain mined products, such as petroleumbased horticultural oil, potassium bicarbonate and diatomaceous earth;
- Insecticidal soaps.
These choices were made over the years in organic agriculture by farmers and activists, who did not have the resources to do elaborate testing of the vast array of natural and synthetic pesticides in order to decide which posed the least hazard to human health, ecologically sound farming systems and the environment. Although some scientists criticize organic agriculture and land care for using the distinction between natural and synthetic materials in making choices, this distinction has held up quite well over the decades.
Synthetic pesticides are more likely to persist, spread to non-target sites and bioaccumulate (concentrate in living organisms) than pesticides based on natural products because synthetic chemicals represent new chemical structures that have never before occurred in biological systems (17). Enzymes and organisms that break down synthetic pesticides to harmless components may not exist or may not act rapidly enough to prevent the pesticide from becoming a widespread pollutant. This has been seen many times in the history of synthetic pesticides and many other synthetic chemicals. One example is DDT, whose toxic breakdown products have been found in the bodies of human beings all over the planet, from remote villages in Papua, New Guinea, to the high Arctic (18). Another more recent example is imidacloprid, which was discovered in groundwater after only 9 years of use on Long Island (19).
The only pesticides based on natural materials that have a history of long-term persistence, of spreading to non-target sites or of bioaccumulating are those based on mined materials, particularly lead and arsenic. These pesticides were widely used in conventional agriculture in the early 20th century, but were never allowed in organic agriculture because the toxicity of these materials was already well recognized (although we know a great deal more now about their hazards, especially at low concentrations) (20,21).
All pesticide use, including pesticides that are allowed in organic land care, involves some risk. One should seriously consider all possible nonchemical alternatives before using any pesticide, and take appropriate safety precautions. The legal restrictions on pesticide use (based on Federal law and laws in Connecticut and Massachusetts) are discussed in Appendix I.
There are cases where pesticides may have benefits exceeding their risks. For example, when insects spread pathogens that cause human disease, it is appropriate to evaluate the judicious use of pesticides against other alternatives in protecting public health. Pesticides may also be needed in other emergency situations, such as limiting the spread of new invasive species of insects or plant pathogens.
However, in this handbook, we are discussing lawns and athletic turf. Lawns and athletic turf provide clear benefits to humans. They offer a pleasant and useful environment for our activities. Well-managed lawns and athletic turf also provide environmental benefits by reducing soil erosion and water runoff.
But, as this handbook will demonstrate, synthetic pesticides are not essential for growing healthy lawns and turf. And much of the pesticide use on lawns and turf is for purely cosmetic purposes – to create a certain standard of appearance – which does not serve the needs of people or protect the environment.
Thus, it can be argued that the risks of using synthetic pesticides to grow lawns and turf – particularly the risks to the health of the people applying the pesticides, to those living near and playing on the turf and to the surrounding environment – are much greater than the benefits to human health and the environment. The decision, in the end, is up to you, the lawn and turf professionals, and the clients and communities you serve.

Tensions inside a corruption inquiry have spilled out onto the street as associates of former Liberal state energy minister Chris Hartcher allegedly assaulted reporters after he left the witness box on Monday afternoon.
The dramatic scenes in the lift and outside the Independent Commission Against Corruption building in Sydney come after Mr Hartcher locked horns with the barrister leading the inquiry inside the hearing room.
Channel 7's state political reporter Lee Jeloscek was repeatedly kicked in the shins by a man understood to be Mr Hartcher's son.
This occurred as Mr Hartcher tried to avoid the media by weaving through a series of shops within Sydney's CBD.
Two other reporters were shoved in the lift inside the ICAC building.
The former energy minister and the two young men finally jumped into a cab at Martin Place.
Mr Hartcher, the alleged "mastermind" of schemes to channel tens of thousands of dollars in illegal donations to the Liberal Party, started giving evidence shortly before midday at the ICAC.
He said he could not recall "laundering" $4000 in Liberal Party cheques through his old law firm, Hartcher Reid, and directing the money be paid to Micky Tech, a company run by the partner of his long-term aide Ray Carter.
"I have already explained to you now on seven occasions that I don't recall," Mr Hartcher snapped.
Mr Watson interrupted with, "Do it again."
Mr Hartcher said Mr Carter's evidence that Mr Hartcher asked him to give him the money was "wrong" but stopped short of calling him a liar.
"I want you to know what I will be putting, Mr Hartcher ... you pocketed that $4000," said Mr Watson.
"I reject that absolutely!" said Mr Hartcher angrily.
When Mr Watson repeated the allegation, Mr Hartcher shouted, "I resent that!"
"Don't you DARE tell me that you resent anything!" Mr Watson shouted in return.
As the pair continued yelling at each other, Alister Henskens, SC, for Mr Hartcher, added to the mayhem by shouting "I object!" over the top.
Commissioner Megan Latham was forced to intervene.
"Can we all back off right now ... I don't want things to degenerate into a screaming match," she said.
"They are both setting each other off and they need to take a backwards step."
Mr Watson then started afresh by suggesting calmly that Mr Hartcher had instructed Mr Carter to give false testimony to the commission and that he used his nephew, a solicitor at Hartcher Reid, to launder money.
After Mr Henskens objected once again to the use of the word "launder", which he said "had a particular meaning within the Crimes Act", Mr Watson stated: "I want to make it clear. I am putting that Mr Hartcher laundered the money through Hartcher Reid."
This was a "rolled up, emotive, sensational, media grabbing proposition", Mr Henskens responded.
The ICAC is investigating allegations that Mr Hartcher was involved in a number of schemes to "wash" illegal donations to the Liberal Party before the last state election.
One was an alleged "sham company" called Eightbyfive, which the inquiry has heard billed property developers and other companies for fake services to disguise the fact they were making illegal donations.
The company was set up by Mr Hartcher's former adviser, Tim Koelma.
Mr Hartcher, the member for Terrigal, has denied he was involved in the schemes.
Mr Hartcher is the last witness to give evidence before Operation Spicer adjourns until August 4 to give investigators time to examine new evidence implicating former police minister Mike Gallacher in "serious electoral funding irregularities".

How WhatsApp's Arora Sealed Facebook Deal
Prior to its $19 billion sale to Facebook, WhatsApp had just one business-development employee, one marketing executive, one human-resources head and one publicist.
They were all the same person.
Neeraj Arora, a mergers-and-acquisitions veteran who joined WhatsApp from Google in 2011, has largely managed the business side as the mobile-messaging startup grew into a global phenomenon. While co-founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton and most employees focused on WhatsApp's technology, Arora juggled multiple roles typically filled by several people, or outsourced, at small companies.

That decision is made very carefully. I would recommend it this way.
Read the Bible first, become knowledgeable on the Faith, and you would know the false preachers on sight. The basic rule of thumb to follow is this: if they preach hate, then they are not Men of God.
SunXia, those excuses are just that: excuses. You cannot judge a religion on its followers, only by its teachings.

What's the big deal about a cut-up barrel?
What's the big deal about a cut-up barrel?
Gunco Member #10
The "original" Boltcutter Rivet Squeezers:
Project Pink - the Pink and Blue AK-74:
Sorry guys, I forgot about this thread.
I actually received two of these kits... these are technically F1 kits. I bought one from I.O. (against my better judgment)... and shazam, without going into the details they screwed me again! This was supposed to be an excellent condition kit.
I've actually just sold this kit. The handguards were fair, the rest of the wood wasn't too bad... just not what I'd call excellent. Same with the metal finish, or lack thereof. I should also add that the I.O. kit came with a brand new barrel. It's a brand new barrel allright. It's chambered, profiled, extractor cut... no gas port drilled yet, seemingly ready to go. But, wouldn't you know it... they totally dropped the ball when they threaded the muzzle, it's left hand thread. wtf??
I also just received the kit I had ordered from CFS way back in December. The CFS kit was in better shape, but not by a whole lot. Worth the asking price though I think.
...I'm not tense! Just terribly, terribly alert.
Is not the muzzle threads on an inch barrel supposed to be left handed?
Metric are left handed, Inch are right handed (righty tighty)
...I'm not tense! Just terribly, terribly alert.

FreeDOM (Programming)
Desktop-as-a-Service Designed for Any Cloud ? Nutanix Frame
- FreeDOM Ping Example: http://www.codevendor.com/FreeDOM/PingExample.htm
- FreeDOM Chat Example: http://www.codevendor.com/FreeDOM/ChatExample.htm
- FreeDOM Wiki Entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeDOM_%28programming%29
What is FreeDOM? FreeDOM is a new concept I created that changes a web page into a fully asynchronous event-driven application by using currently available technologies. Below, I will compare FreeDOM with currently working web 2.0 concepts and show you the benefits of switching to this architecture.
Web 2.0 Techniques
There are many ways of creating web pages that go and get content from servers and update themselves. Following is a list of common ways.
- Ajax: An ActiveX object built into browsers that sends and receives text or XML HTTP requests.
- IFrame: A built-in browser element control that can send and request web page content similar to Ajax.
- Comet: A concept of leaving a web page in a state of constant downloading that simulates an HTTP push technology, to receive data events.
- HTTP Streaming: Using third-party technologies such as Java Applets or Activex to stream data from server to the client.
A lot of developers have noticed these flaws in Ajax and Iframes and have started to invent new technologies. One is Comet, another cleanser name. Comet is very hard to implement and comes with a lot of unknown bugs. Basically, to use it you usually have to create a custom web server because most today were not made to leave requests in an open state. Most servers have timeouts and caching built in to make them faster for a get-in-get-out way of doing business. Comet is a step up from Ajax, but it's not the cure. Comet can only receive asynchronous events; it cannot talk back to the server. You need to implement Comet to receive and Ajax to send, making Comet dependant on Ajax. Another downside of using Comet is that browsers also have an issue with a never-ending web page. Have you ever been on a page that locks up, causing all your other browsers windows to close? This is caused by the EXE sharing memory and thread space. So, Comet was a great idea but it is not feasible do to with current technology.
Another technology is HTTP Streaming. There is many different versions of HTTP Streaming. One way is to set up a server to talk back and forth to an ActiveX or Java Applet. It's very hard to implement and maintain, with many security and licensing issues for both client and server. Most users will not install your code because of fears of corrupt code that they will not be able to remove, plus cause damage to their operating system or files. This can be very scary to the end user.
This next section will describe FreeDOM and how it will fix these issues.
So, how would one go about fixing these old technologies to make web sites and application one? Should you wait for large companies to create better working browsers or should you invent it now with currently working technologies? As a developer, I feel I should wait... but as an inventor, I have decided to make it work. What I want is the freedom to do what I want and build what I want on a web page. I came up with the name FreeDOM for this reason, plus it is really what you want to do. You want to work with the browser DOM freely and update it whenever you choose. So, I asked myself what current technologies I could use to create a true event state application. One that came to mind was Flash, with so much new hype around AIR and Flex applications. It's hard not to notice a big boom in Flash usage everywhere since Adobe took over it from Macromedia. Some of the latest usage has said Flash is installed on 90% or more of the machines world-wide across operating systems and browsers. This got me thinking! Could I use Flash in some way with my currently working web page technology? Flash seems to work well for creating banners and animation, but could it handle passing data back and forth? After some testing with ActionScript 3.0, I have figured out a way to replace Ajax, Iframes, Comet, and HTTP Streaming.
How Does FreeDOM Work?
FreeDOM works by using Flash Binary Sockets to communicate with your Custom Socket Server. To pass binary data from Flash sockets to your JavaScript web page, you need a custom class called ExternalInterface. This class will allow you to make calls to Flash methods and add callbacks for your JavaScript methods. So, take a look at some code so you will understand.
Flash SWF Code
Add the following code to a document class .AS file. It is a wrapper for the custom JSocket class and main movie clip. Please keep in mind to keep the size of this and your JSockets small. By keeping them small, you can load everything in the first preloader frame and bypass the activate SWF message.
package { //Imports-------------------- //To communicate with JavaScript import flash.external.ExternalInterface; import JSockets.JSocket; //JSocket import flash.display.MovieClip; //Movie Clip import flash.system.Security; //For Domain Security import flash.text.TextField; import flash.text.TextFieldAutoSize; import flash.text.TextFormat; //--------------------------- //Main Class for creating javascript sockets public class Main extends MovieClip { //Create Properties---------------- private var SocketArray:Array; //--------------------------------- //Constructor public function Main() { //Add Javascript EntryPoints------------------- ExternalInterface.addCallback("CreateSocket", this.CreateSocket); ExternalInterface.addCallback("Connect", this.Connect); ExternalInterface.addCallback("Close", this.Close); ExternalInterface.addCallback("Flush", this.Flush); ExternalInterface.addCallback("Send", this.Send); //--------------------------------------------- } //Creates a socket for use in javascript public function CreateSocket(_ID:String, _Cls:String, _Con:String, _Ioe:String, _Se:String, _Dat:String):void { var NS:JSocket = new JSocket(); NS.ID = _ID; NS.CloseEventCallback = _Cls; NS.ConnectEventCallback = _Con; NS.IOErrorEventCallback = _Ioe; NS.SecurityErrorEventCallback = _Se; NS.SocketDataEventCallback = _Dat; this.SocketArray = new Array(); this.SocketArray.push(NS); } //Gets the socket object private function GetSocket(_ID:String):JSocket { for each (var S:JSocket in this.SocketArray) { if (S.ID == _ID) { return S; } } return null; } //Connects to a host and port public function Connect(_ID:String, _Host:String, _Port:uint):void { //Get Working Socket---- var FS:JSocket = this.GetSocket(_ID); //---------------------- if (FS) { FS.Connect(_Host, _Port); } } //Closes a connection to a host public function Close(_ID:String):void { //Get Working Socket---- var FS:JSocket = this.GetSocket(_ID); //---------------------- if (FS) { FS.close(); } } //Flushes a connection public function Flush(_ID:String):void { //Get Working Socket---- var FS:JSocket = this.GetSocket(_ID); //---------------------- if (FS) { FS.flush(); } } //Sends data to a connection public function Send(_ID:String, _Data:String):void { //Get Working Socket---- var FS:JSocket = this.GetSocket(_ID); //---------------------- if (FS) { FS.writeUTFBytes(_Data); } } } }
Next is the JSocket Class that wraps the Flash sockets class. Below is the code for that.
package JSockets{ //Imports-------------------- //To communicate with JavaScript import flash.external.ExternalInterface; import flash.net.Socket; //Flash Socket Class import flash.errors.*; //Flash Errors import flash.events.*; //Flash Events //--------------------------- //Actual socket class public class JSocket extends Socket { //Create Properties--------------- public var ID:String; public var Host:String; public var Port:uint; public var CloseEventCallback:String; public var ConnectEventCallback:String; public var IOErrorEventCallback:String; public var SecurityErrorEventCallback:String; public var SocketDataEventCallback:String; //-------------------------------- //Constructor public function JSocket() { AttachEvents(); } //Attach Events private function AttachEvents():void { //Add Event Handlers------------------------------------- addEventListener(Event.CLOSE, Handler_Close); addEventListener(Event.CONNECT, Handler_Connect); addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, Handler_IOError); addEventListener(SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR, Handler_SecurityError); addEventListener(ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA, Handler_SocketData); //------------------------------------------------------- } //Connects to a host and port public function Connect(_Host:String, _Port:uint):void { Host = _Host; Port = _Port; //Call socket connect--- connect(Host,Port); //---------------------- } // Handles the close event private function Handler_Close(event:Event):void { ExternalInterface.call(this.CloseEventCallback, event.type); } // Handles the connect event private function Handler_Connect(event:Event):void { ExternalInterface.call(this.ConnectEventCallback, event.type); } // Handles if io error event private function Handler_IOError(event:IOErrorEvent):void { ExternalInterface.call(this.IOErrorEventCallback, event.type, event.text); } // Handles security error event private function Handler_SecurityError (event:SecurityErrorEvent):void { ExternalInterface.call(this.SecurityErrorEventCallback, event.type, event.text); } // Handles socket data event private function Handler_SocketData(event:ProgressEvent):void { ExternalInterface.call(this.SocketDataEventCallback, event.type, this.readUTFBytes(this.bytesAvailable)); } } }

Carefully supervise young children using playground equipment. Keep children from shoving, pushing, or fighting.
The surface under playground equipment should be energy absorbent. Use safety-tested mats or loose-fill materials (shredded rubber, sand, wood chips, or bark) maintained to a depth of at least 9 inches.
Install the protective surface at least 6 feet (more for swings and slides) in all directions from the equipment.
Swing seats should be made of something soft, not wood or metal.
Children should not twist swings, swing empty seats, or walk in front of moving swings.
Put home playground equipment together correctly. It should sit on a level surface and be anchored firmly to the ground.
Cap all screws and bolts. Check periodically for loose nuts and bolts and broken, rusty, or sharp parts.
Install playground equipment at least 6 feet from fences or walls.
Check for hot metal surfaces on equipment, such as those on slides, which could cause burns.
Never attach ropes, jump ropes, clotheslines, or pet leashes to playground equipment because children can strangle on them.

Be transported into the wild and wooly past of the American Wild West, its history and legends of cowboys, western cowgirls and pioneer women of the west, guns (like the legendary 1873 Colt Peacemaker) and other interesting western facts like the Pony Express Mail Delivery, famous outlaws and lawmen and the exciting Gunfight at O.K. Corral which took place in Tombstone, Arizona, a true historical landmark!
Look for information on movie cowboys and great TV/Film singing cowboys. We also offer cowboy poetry, cowboy songs, western cowboy recipes, plus links to other great facts about the American West.
For example: Cowboys like Wild Bill Hickok, who had talent as gunfighter and scout, along with his reputation as a lawman liked to play poker and was shot dead while he was playing. When shot, he was holding a pair of aces and a pair of eights, all black. From then on that hand is referred to as a "Dead Man's hand".
Our section on Native Americans or American Indians, if you prefer, details aspects of Indian society including valuable modern information on American Indian ancestry and DNA testing. You'll find interesting Native American Indian sacred places and battlegrounds to visit, authentic Indian recipes and Native legends and creation stories. Read historical information about the heroism of Native Americans during the two world wars when they served as "Code Talkers". Read about American Indian arts and crafts, especially Indian jewelry and dances. The Wild West was a fascinating time and place in American history.
The American west featured all sorts of people from pioneers and scouts to lawmen, outlaws, gangs and gunfighters (gunslingers), to the American cowboy, and legendary pioneering women on the frontier. You'll find history, lore and biographies of the lives and times of those who populated the Wild West. Meet "Billy The Kid", Jesse James, the Clantons and the Dalton gang and the lawmen who stopped them, famous sheriffs and their deputies. Learn interesting western facts about inventions like barbed wire and denim blue jeans.
Explore the life of the cowboy who spent up to four straight months in the saddle, often in the same clothes every day. He ate every meal at the chuck wagon, drinking nothing but coffee and water. At night, if a storm came and the cattle started running, it was the cowboy's job to jump on his horse to head off the cattle and round them up safely.
You'll also learn of the adventures of pioneers and famous American Indians (Native Americans) and their battles against European settlers; how they created beautiful arts, crafts, beadwork and stunning silver jewelry like the spectacular squash blossom necklace and ruggedly handsome Navajo Indian rugs and weavings they favored. You can read about American Indian dances and spirituality and religious practices plus enjoy authentic native recipes.
Another interesting tidbit: A Western saloon is a kind of bar particular to the Old West. Saloons served such customers as fur trappers, cowboys, soldiers, gold prospectors and miners and gamblers. By way of entertainment, saloons offered dancing girls. Many saloons offered poker, brag, three-card monte, and dice games. Other games were added as saloons continued to thrive and face growing competition. These added games included billiards, darts. Some saloons even incorporated piano players and theatrical skits. If you want a small taste of the games they played in the old west go to go to our games section.
While the outlaws of the old west packed their six shooters and rifles to rob banks, stagecoaches and trains, modern day outlaws are a more inventive lot. Oftentimes, these bandits resort to defrauding innocent folk and use blackmail and extortion instead of revolvers, although, some have certainly been known to use guns too. When the country was wild and young, anything could happen and people often took justice into their own hands. Now, you have to play by the rule of law otherwise you'll be declared a vigilante. Ride 'em cowboy!
We hope you enjoy The Wild West.

Letters to the editor, Feb. 12, 2013
Take a breath
The gun laws in the state of Connecticut are excellent and adequate. The problems lie with judicial interpretations, pleas bargaining and bias.
More laws actually abet the criminal element. It seems the good buys always pay for criminal behavior. The obvious negative influence on our precious youth is peer pressure, violent video games.
God being pushed aside on government but burning a flag is okay.
Just give this some rational thought.
--Bobby Brzozowy, New Hartford
Observing a meatless Lent
This Wednesday (Feb. 13) marks the beginning of Lent, the 40-day period before Easter, when Christians would abstain from meat and dairy products in remembrance of Jesus' 40 days of fasting before launching his ministry.
Devout Christians who observe meatless Lent help reduce their risk of chronic disease, as well as environmental degradation and animal abuse.
Dozens of medical reports have linked consumption of animal products with elevated risk of heart failure, stroke, cancer, and other killer diseases.
A 2007 U.N. report named meat production as the largest source of greenhouse gases and water pollution.
Undercover investigations have documented farm animals being beaten, caged, crowded, deprived, mutilated, and shocked.
Lent offers a superb opportunity to honor Jesus' powerful message of compassion and love by adopting a meat-free diet for Lent and beyond.
It's the diet mandated in Genesis I-29 and observed in the Garden of Eden.
Every supermarket offers a rich array of meat and dairy alternatives, as well as the more traditional vegetables, fruits, and grains. Entering "vegetarian" in your favorite search engine provides lots of meat replacement products, recipes, and transition tips.
--Warner Hansen, Waterbury
Ridiculous paradoxes
Should we legalize drugs? This question is very difficult to answer. People usually make choices whether that involves their diet, smoking, drinking, lack of exercises, or even sexual activities.
Legalizing drugs is being heard everywhere from liberals as well as conservatives.
Some people feel that legalizing drugs is the only to win the drug war, others feel that the legalization of drugs would make an already large problem completely out of control.
Should an individual have the right to do as he sees fit as long he does not harm other people? It is a ridiculous paradox to have the law to protect us from relatively harmless substances and not from devastating effects of alcohol, which happens to be legal!
The weak people, drug addicted will always find drugs from the criminal drug dealers who make billions every year in the drug market destroying the lives of people.
It is difficult to define just why certain illegal substances are evil and legal substances like alcohol, smoking, gambling, etc., are not.
-- Dario Diorio, Torington
The Pope's resignation
I am deeply saddened that Pope Benedict XVI is resigning.
The Holy Father was an inspiration and a model witness to the life of Christ; a shepherd of truth constantly guarding his flock so that Christ might find faith on earth when He returns. Immersed in profound humility and immense love for both God and man he has always been a source of strength, encouragement, confidence, optimism and enlightenment not only to Catholics but to all men of good will.
A champion of the poor and ardent exponent of Christian unity, the German Pontiff was, in many and such capacities as teaching, governing and sanctifying, both a beacon of light and salt of the earth.
He has never ceased to offer fresh hope for defeating the forces of tyranny, cynicism and moral relativism hovering like a dark cloud on the horizon.
Successor of Peter and Vicar of Christ, he was the world's most influential and uncompromising defender of the dignity of human life.
His tenacious pleas for the development of a "culture of life" and parallel denunciations of the "culture of death" have been instrumental in rallying opposition to the immorality of war, terrorism, abortion, euthanasia, divorce, contraception, homosexuality and embryonic-tissue research.
May the Lord of all graces and giver of every gift bless Pope Benedict XVI.

If we have a supernaturally implanted moral sense as many christians argue (e.g., from Romans 2:15), why do some of us become morally conflicted over issues that lack biblical support?
For example, it's not hard to find people who passionately oppose eating meat, inflicting capital punishment, discriminating against people on the basis of sex or fighting wars, even though the bible supports all these practices.
It seems that if we do have the implanted sense of right and wrong, this sense doesn't operate according the same principles in everyone, throwing doubt on the existence of a universal morality.
Thanks for the insight. Never thought of it that way. One more thing to add to my arsenal.
Advancedatheist….Try to begin your thoughts on moral conflicts from an evolutionary standpoint and many situations become clearer even if they're not discussed in some holy text. Think of life in a small band up to about 250 people which is about as many as hunter- gatherers tend to have, and about as many people that humans can have close personal ties to…if that many. The point being, when you know everybody and they know you, your reputation is critical to your survival. Whether you are trustworthy and useful in personal alliances i.e…you don't run when the lion attacks or horde food from others. Man has evolved always in social conditions and so has our innate ability to size up others for their character and their ability to help pass on OUR genes…selfish as it may seem. We also have a lot of brain space dedicated to figuring out what is a good deal for us and what is not. These powers are all deeply ingrained and associated with emotional responses. Hence, we have deep reactions to being slighted, insulted, cheated, etc, even for small issues. We know when we've been had, but we also have guilt to tell us when we transgressed and essentially put ourselves in danger of damaging our reputation. This is why altruism is still in our best interest and helping others does us good in the long run, otherwise why would nature have given us any positive emotions at all when we do something strictly to benefit others.
This is why I think you can look at most moral questions in the sense of who benefits now or in the long run, and sometimes your innate emotional response can help. In general I guess it's pretty easy to see why most "virtues" are valued and most "vices" can get you into trouble, and why some ideas, actions,or rituals that we argue about don't even seem to be real moral questions at all. For your example, man IS an omnivore, so whether we eat meat or even whether we eat meat on Fridays or mixed with dairy doesn't seem to really be an issue at all. If one can really feel guilty about these issues, it seems very artificial to me and totally cultural and has nothing to do with our genes survival.
One can see how things go wrong when we live in large societies. Even our conscience (that thing that weighs guilt vs pleasure) can't always get us to do the "right" thing. It could almost seem rational to steal, or kill if we knew we were not going to get caught and pay that price in reputation. One could even argue your reputation does not count for so much any more, so why worry about it. It is a tribute to that deep center that it keeps most of us on the up and up in most situations. You might guess by now that no one can convince me that that center is somehow endowed to us divinely. It is simply eons of evolved behavior patterns that have been selected out for cooperating and altruistic beings. This center is what operates in all humans and is the basis for our shared humanity and you might even call it a universal moral center.

Myth Debunking: Fans Just Want Everything For Free
from the except-when-they-don't deptThe debate between Ben Sheffner and William Patry continues over at Patry's blog, and Sheffner has an interesting piece where he argues (delicately) that sometimes the customer isn't right. He admits upfront that this is a tricky position to defend, and he starts out with a more nuanced view as to why that is, but then he gets to this:
So everyone wants the product -- but too many don't want to pay for it. Hell, I don't want to pay for it. I would love it if I could get all the movies and music I want for free. And I would love it if I could get all the BMWs, houses in the hills, and meals at Urasawa I want for free as well. But of course I realize I can't. Just about everyone is with me on the BMWs and houses part. But too many think that movies and music should be free, and don't see anything wrong with taking them. I'm willing to say they're wrong.This is a myth. It's a popular myth, and I'm quite sure that Sheffner and lots of folks on both sides of the debate think its entirely accurate. But it's a myth. The nature of a good economic transaction is one in which both parties are better off after the exchange. That means the people "paying" don't mind paying. They're happy to pay because they believe that what they have received is better than the cost it took to acquire it. But basic economics plays into the situation here: if the same thing can be made available by others in a better way, it's only natural for people to ask why they should have to pay.
Everyone understands why they can't have all the physical goods they want for free. But they have a much harder time understanding that with intangible goods like movies and music. IP is just harder to understand, and to explain, than physical property. We need theories to undergird it, special laws to define it, and special classes at law school to learn how to fight over it -- not to mention eight-volume treatises to tell us what the law actually is. So when people commit copyright infringement, they may think they're causing no harm -- but they are. They're undermining a system that enables those big, bad companies that everyone loves to hate, to finance the movies and albums that we all love.
But if you want real proof that there's a lot more at work than the idea that consumers just want everything for free and think that if it's not free they should just take it, look no further than the countless examples we've shown of people paying lots of money to support those providers who don't treat their fans as criminals, who don't try to prevent what the technology allows and who actually work to connect with those fans and give them a true reason to buy.
Everyone wants a good deal, and a fair deal, but people are more than willing to pay if it makes economic sense. Whether consciously or not, there are an awful lot of people who inherently recognize that the economics don't make sense when a good is infinitely available. As much as people have trouble understanding explicit economic concepts like supply and demand, instinctively many do, in fact, understand the very nature of abundance and what it means for pricing. It's not some nefarious story of a bunch of immoral "thieves" wanting stuff for free. It's an inherent understanding of competitive markets.
On top of that, Sheffner takes the position that paying for these things is necessary, because not paying for them "undermines the system," he is once again being misleading. It may undermine one particular way that the system works, but the false statement is implicit in his argument: that this is the only way of funding such creation. That is demonstrably false, as we've shown time and time again. I have no doubt that Sheffner is sincere in his argument, but it's based on a false premise that because the system used to work one way, back before technology changed the basic economics it relied on, that somehow we should all suffer by limiting what the technology allows and by ignoring basic economics.
It would be nice if it were possible, but I cannot find a single example of a modern society being able to successfully hold back or ignore what technology allows when it comes to economics.
Finally, way back when I was in high school, I worked at a bagel shop, which also sold other baked goods. The boss's position was that "the customer is always right" except for one particular issue: the customer could only get the next piece of coffee cake in order. We had this giant sheet cake coffee cake, and many customers didn't want "end pieces," and would ask for middle pieces instead. On more than one occasion, this resulted in angry customers stomping out -- and even once resulted in a fist fight between a customer and the owner's son. Over time, as more competition entered the neighborhood (a Dunkin' Donuts across the street, another bagel shop a block away), we lost a lot of business for our baked goods.
The point, which should be clear, is that you can say the customer is wrong all you want. But, in the end, the market will decide that the customer is right. Always. If you don't provide what the customer wants (a fair transaction) and others are able to do so, you will suffer.
The movie industry and the music industry both have had numerous opportunities to embrace what the technology allows -- and to craft new business models that would be massive money makers in doing so. They have chosen not to do so. They have said that the customer is wrong, and, as Sheffner notes, they have no problem saying so. The problem is that, whether legal or not, the competition is springing up left and right. Sheffner and his former colleagues can stand on whatever principles they want. The market doesn't care. The market only cares for those who serve the customers' needs. Plenty of others are doing so (both legally and illegally). Those who want to survive in business would be smart to take lessons from those who are succeeding and looking to implement smart business models around them. Those who want to insist that "the customer can be wrong" may feel good when they look in the mirror, but they're going to have to contend with a rapidly diminishing customer base.
The customer can be wrong, but focusing on that doesn't get them to pay you.

**For the next 6 days I've got 6 speed mascara reviews coming up. Who will be victorious?!**
MeMeMe's Fat Cat mascara is nothing new, but I did finally get round to trying it out!
How can anything with the word 'cat' in it be bad!?
This is supposed to have an oversized brush for 'extra volume'. I hate oversized brushes.
The cute tube:
The brush is indeed very fat but I have to say, I didn't struggle too much with it although I can never get to my small lashes with this kind of brush.
I didn't really feel that there was a lot of volume going on with this mascara – I found that it offered good separation, it added length and was a nice black mascara. Perhaps it is one I would team with another mascara:
It didn't hold curl though unfortunately.
A decent mascara, not amazing but may work better for less fussy lashes than mine.
Costs £7.99 from Superdrug.
Score: 3/5
