Hannover House (a film producer and distributor) acquired Target Development Group in December 2009. Since then, the stock has risen steadily. Usually, OTC penny stocks are like roller coaster. It’s almost more of money exchanging hands than a real investment. However, TDGI has been stable since the company completed the reverse merger and froze a number of shares.
Create a Mint.com Style Login using Flex 4
I recently created an account on Mint.com. I was very impressed with their clean and functional layout, so I decided to create an example of how to create a Mint.com style login in Flex 4. The form below validates the text fields when the user focus out of that specific field. It throws an error tool tip when the user hovers off of the text field and also displays an error icon. I have supplied a working example and code snippet below. I would also like to give credit to FamFamFam for supplying me with the free icons!

Filter a DataGrid as you Type in Flex 3
There are several different ways to filter a datagrid in Flex 3. I developed an easy dynamic function that will allow you to specify your dataprovider, datagrid name, columns to filter on, and filter string. Once you enter those four attributes, the function does the rest. When you enter a string inside of the text input, the filter function loops through the datagrid elements and filters the result accordingly. I have included a snippet of the filter function. If you wish to download this project, right click on the application and select view source. From the source viewer, you can download the project archive.

Wicked Campers – Scam, Bad Business, or Both?
Early on this year, I went on a trip to Australia with a few friends. A month prior to my departure, I reserved a camper van from a rental company in Brisbane called Wicked Campers. They quoted me $1200 USD for two weeks and charged me an initial fee of $250.00.
After arriving in Brisbane, my friend and I boarded a train and walked a mile or so with our entire range of luggage (Surfboards, Clothes, Etc) to their location. The first vibe I received from the location is that it looked like an illegal chop shop. After 15-20 minutes or so of waiting, one of the girls requested that I sign a rental form and give her my driver’s license prior to seeing the full amount I was about to pay. I refused and requested that I receive a formal contract with a dollar amount prior to singing any forms.
