As much as you try to ignore it, that pesky spot of oil on the driveway isn't getting any smaller. Sure, you can put a tray of some sort under the car, or use cat litter or some type of space age polymers to sop up the drips. You can even try parking in a different spot, but the oil will keep on dripping. While oil spots on the driveway are certainly a nuisance, the fact that the oil is no longer in the engine crankcase or transmission can pose a real problem for your transmission and your budget.
The automobile contains a number of fluids that should all stay where they're supposed to be. Oil spots, coolant leaks, mysterious drips, and other signs of fluids leaving their rightful places inside the automobile are telltale signs that you should pay attention to. One of these parts crying for care by leaking gear oil all over the driveway or garage floor is an axle seal. Sometimes, oil on the outside of the case where the axles enter will be the only indication of a problem. A surefire way to determine if the leaking oil in question is engine or gear oil is to follow your nose. Gear oil has a unique, rotten egg type of smell.
Gear oil
Gear oil has this unique smell for a reason. The inside of a manual transmission, transaxle, transfer case or differential of an automobile is a truly harsh environment. Gear oil is manufactured specifically to handle the gnashing and spinning of gears as you shift from First to Second, from Third to Fourth, and so on.
Gear oil is different from motor oil in a number of ways. One is that it is much thicker, possessing a higher viscosity. This viscosity helps the oil stick to the gears as they gnash and spin. The other difference is that gear oil is designed to provide lubrication in the high shock conditions that accompany the meshing and occasional mashing or grinding of gears. The chemical compounds in the oil often contain sulfur, which also give the gear oil its unique, expired egg smell. The thickness, combined with the special chemical compounds of the gear oil, lubricates and cushions the gears as they shift. The gear oil is crucial to achieving the ultimate goal of the transmission, transaxle, differential or transfer case – to transmit the power of the engine through the axles and the wheels and then down to the ground – and managing to do it all again, day after day.
Axle seal
Since the ends of these spinning axles that extend into the transmission must share the same gear oil with the transmission, transaxle, transfer case or differential, the axle seal has two tasks. One is to keep the gear oil inside the case that contains the gears and the ends of the axles. The other is to keep crud, road grime and rocks out of the transmission, ruining the whole deal by converting the gears into rock crushers.
Since the axles going into the transmission, and the transmission itself are made of metal, the axle seal houses a flexible seal that rides on the axle and keeps gear oil in, and crud out. The flexible seal uses a small amount of the gear oil in conjunction with the seal itself to achieve this task. The flexible seal is housed in a metal carrier, which allows it to be pressed into the transmission or differential semi-permanently.
Axle seals can simply wear out, but the most common cause of failure is improper axle removal or installation. While the metal carrier of the seal is sturdy, the flexible seal is fragile and can be easily torn by a ham-handed installation of an incoming axle. Since installing new axle seals requires removal of the axles, a great time to inspect and replace them is during axle service.
Replacing axle seals
Step 1: This seal has seen better days. One common way seals fail is when axles are removed, or installed improperly, thus tearing the rubber seal.
Step 2: Here is the new seal, ready to install. Note the spring on the back of the flexible seal. Be careful not to drop this into the transmission or differential.
Step 3: First pry the old seal out of the differential or transmission. A seal removal tool makes this task easy.
Step 4: Seal and bearing race installation tool comes with different sized discs. Choose one that fits into the seal mounting point, yet is only slightly smaller then the seal itself.
Step 5: Next, seat the new seal level into the mount. Tap the seal level into place with the seal tool until the seal is fully seated. Be careful not to deform the seal.

Mondia Watches
Mondia Watches were established in 1935 in Le Locle, Switzerland by Mr Paul Wermot a highly skilled watchmaker with a good business ability. He designed and made his first watch in this year which was the first of a long string of successful models. His vocation for the precision, the passion for the mechanics, the care for the details allowed the company to gain many good customers over a short period of time. The continuous updating of the models, the use of good materials worked with refined technologies, the care in every particular detail allowed Mondia Watches to obtain an important position in the European market, in particular in Italy, where the designs of the watches were particularly tuned to Italian taste.
Mondia Watches
Case Material
Price Range
This position grew stronger until in 1970 the Mondia Watches brand became a part of Zentih covering the middle range of the market and due to its creativeness and to a good relation between price and quality, the company continued to grow and maintains its successful position in European markets today, and like before, particularly in Italy where the designs and styling is very Italian.

I had some blueberries to use up (not from our plant unfortunately) so I found this cupcake recipe. The texture of the cakes are between a fairy cake and a muffin, but the drizzle makes them very moist. The recipe for the drizzle says to use caster sugar, but the drizzle didn't go crunchy, so after some Internet research I'm going to try granulated sugar next time. I will definitely make these again and try them with raspberries which is what the original recipe used.
- Makes: 12 cupcakes
- Oven shelf position: middle
- Oven temperature: Gas mark 4/350°F/180°C
- Baking time: 30-35 minutes (Original recipe said 20-25 mins)
- You will need: 12-hole muffin tin (or normal cake tin is fine) with paper muffin cases
Cupcakes – Ingredients:
- 200g Self-raising flour
- 2 tsp Baking powder
- 200g Unsalted butter, softened
- 4 large Eggs
- 200g Caster sugar
- 3 tbsp Milk
- 50g Ground almonds
- Zest of 1medium Orange
- 150g punnet Blueberries/Raspberries, washed then lightly crushed
Sugar drizzle – Ingredients:
- Juice of 1 medium Orange
- 4 tbsp Caster or Granulated sugar
- Preheat the oven and line muffin tin with paper muffin cases.
- Tip the first 8 ingredients into a large bowl and beat with electric whisk until smooth.
- Fold the crushed fruit through the batter.
- Divide the batter between the cases - there is a lot of mixture so they will be almost full to the top.
- Gently tap the tray on your work surface to even out the mixture and knock out any excess air which could cause the cakes to sink.
- Bake for 30-35 mins or until golden and just firm.
- To make the Sugar drizzle: mix together the orange juice and sugar until well blended.
- Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow to cool a little but the cakes should still be hot when you drizzle each with the orange and sugar mix.

Respect the power of the Ocean? Tim Mullen is chasing storms. With a windsurf. In Ireland. Why?
The short answer? Just because. This isn't a competition (Tim is here with fellow windsurfer Oisin Van Geldren) and there are no records to be broken. The pair are touring the world as part of Red Bull's Storm Chasers Challenge, seeking to harness the wildest winds for the most exhilarating windsurf.
And, for Tim, there's nowhere better than Donegal's Malin Head: "I've travelled everywhere in the world…Australia, Hawaii, Fiji, you name it I've been there. And, for sure, the northwest of Ireland is still the best spot."
Best spot it may be, but while the massive swells, juggernaut waves and 20 feet leaps might be entertaining to watch, beginners may fancy something more modest…
Welcome to County Wicklow – aka The Garden of Ireland – and welcome to the Blessington Lakes. Fringed by acres of forest, a scattering of well-heeled golf courses and split by a stoic-looking bridge, the Blessington Lakes were created when a valley (Wicklow's countryside is replete with valleys) was flooded to provide a hydroelectric plant with electricity.
Cue the birth of one of the most picturesque and well-known water sport locations on the island.
But, according to windsurf instructor Paul Ashmore at Blessington's Avon Rí Adventure Centre, the lakes aren't just pretty faces: "You could do worse than a backdrop of the Wicklow hills and mountains for a windsurfing session. And the valley here, it's just incredibly peaceful. As for learning to windsurf; the lakes are incredibly safe, you take it at your own pace and the craic [fun] between people learning is brilliant".

Friendly winds don't just blow in Ireland's Garden County. You'll find them elsewhere, too. "Ireland's a fabulous windsurfing location," says Alan Watts, from Northern Ireland windsurfing enthusiasts, Mylyst. "You've got the combination of waves rolling in directly from the Atlantic with hundreds of beaches."
Budding windsurfers will need specifics, though, Alan? "Kearney (very south tip of Down's Strangford Peninsula) is a great beach for waves and southerly winds. And all the way up the Irish Sea east coast to Cloughey, Millisle, Ballywalter and Ballyhalbert, right up to Ballyholme (all in County Down).
For beginners, Down's Newtownards Sailing Club has probably the largest fleet of early stage windsurfers and a very safe location, along with some excellent craic in the bar afterwards where you can tell the tales of your exploits."
Humiliation or celebration and a trip to the pub – let the winds decide.

My Favorite Places to Drink Coffee in Paris
Before I'd ever been to Paris, I'd heard horror stories about their espresso and rumors that it was impossible to get a good cup of drip coffee there. Yet, on that first day in The City of Light, bleary-eyed and half-conscious right off the overnight flight, I stumbled upon (okay I used Yelp—don't judge!) what is now my favorite coffee shop in Paris: Télescope. As luck would have it, it was a stone's throw away from apartment I was staying in, and it had just opened not too long ago. This cozy space has a welcoming feel, and the pourover coffee is delicious.
With a few recommendations from the owner of Télescope and a little research, I've enjoyed exploring the coffee shops of Paris every time I've traveled there. I can't help but revisit Télescope multiple times, but I've also fallen for the charms of other shops, including Le Bal, Coutume, Kooka Boora, and newcomer Ten Belles. Check out the slideshow for more details on each of my favorite Paris coffee destinations.

If you're shopping for a laptop this autumn, you'll find most of the capabilities and prices in the sluggish market unchanged. You'll still likely be considering whether it's time to get a tablet instead of a new laptop.
But if you're focused on a Windows machine, and you look carefully, you'll see that a new class of portable PC is beginning to appear. It's called the "ultrabook," and is essentially the Windows version of Apple's popular, nearly four-year old MacBook Air—an ultraskinny, light, speedy, versatile laptop with long battery life.
The arrival of the ultrabook is a welcome development, not only because it spices up the market, but because I consider the MacBook Air the best all-around consumer laptop available, and anything that emulates it is a good idea, if done well.
There are only a few ultrabooks available this season and they aren't for everybody. Most have limited storage and, like the MacBook Air, are priced near the $1,000 range—rich territory in a tight economy where Apple buyers seem comfortable, though not many others. Still, this new class of Windows laptop is the only fundamentally fresh choice in the laptop market.
If the price is too high, you should be able to get a capable major-brand laptop for between $500 and $800, with plenty of storage and memory.
My annual fall laptop buyers' guide today offers tips for wading through the technobabble in computer ads, and in online and physical stores. As always, these tips are for average consumers doing common tasks, such as email, Web browsing, social networking, general office productivity, photos, music, videos and simple games. This guide isn't meant for corporate buyers, or for hard-core gamers or serious media producers.
The recently unveiled Asus Zenbook
The tablet question: Tablets like Apple's iPad 2 and Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1 can perform many, though not all, of the functions of a laptop. Most tablet lovers find themselves reaching for their laptops less often to do things like email. If your budget is limited and you're thinking of shelling out $500 for a full-size tablet, consider whether you can put off getting a new laptop this year instead of buying both.
Future Windows: If you're shopping for a Windows laptop, be aware that in 2012, Microsoft will offer a new version of Windows, called Windows 8, with a radical new multitouch interface that makes use of a touch screen. The software giant stresses that Windows 8 won't require such a screen, and will still work with a mouse or touch pad. But unless you have a laptop with a multi-touch screen, you won't be able to take advantage of the Windows 8 touch-screen features.
Ultrabooks: Four companies make this class of laptop: Acer, Lenovo, Asus and, shortly, Toshiba. These machines are under 0.8 inch thick, weigh less than three pounds, and generally claim long battery life and almost-instant startup times. All run Windows 7; none has a touch screen. Like the MacBook Air, they use solid-state drives (though some combine these with standard hard disks) and have screens of either 11 inches or 13 inches. Prices generally run from around $900 to $1,100.
Windows vs. Mac: Mac laptops cost more and offer less variety than Windows laptops. The least expensive Mac laptop is $999, while a few stripped-down Windows portables can be had for under $300. Well-equipped Windows laptops start at $500 to $600. But Apple laptops combine beauty, ruggedness and long battery life with good customer service. Macs also come with better built-in software, including the new Lion operating system, which includes some tablet-like features. And they can run Windows, at extra cost.
Finally, Mac users don't fear viruses and other malicious software, because virtually none work on the Mac.
Memory: Get at least 4 gigabytes of memory, or RAM, on a new Windows computer. On a Mac, most consumers can get away with 2 gigabytes.
Processors: Intel's latest chips are the i3, i5, and i7 Core models. But a laptop with chips from rival AMD, or older Intel dual-core chips, also is OK.
Graphics: Usually less expensive machines have wimpier graphics hardware, and costlier ones have more powerful graphics. Better graphics can make your whole machine faster, because more and more software is designed to offload general processing tasks onto the graphics chips.
Hard disks: A 320-gigabyte hard disk should be the minimum on most PCs. Solid-state disks, like those in the new ultrabooks or the MacBook Air, generally come in sizes of 128 GB or 256 GB. They omit moving parts and use flash memory to store your files, as on a smartphone or tablet. They are costlier, but faster, and use less power.
Ports: Many PCs now come with a port called HDMI, which makes linking to a high-definition TV easy. There is a new, much faster USB port, called USB 3.0, but few peripheral devices can use it. And Apple has introduced yet another high-speed connector that has little practical use so far, called Thunderbolt.
As always, be wary of sales pitches and don't buy more laptop than you need.

Ann Arbor, MI: Great Burgers and Even Better Patty Melts at Zingerman's Roadhouse
Zingerman's Roadhouse
2501 Jackson Avenue, Ann Arbor, MI 48103 (map) and one other location; 334-663-3663; zingermansroadhouse.com
Cooking Method: Grilled (burger) and griddled (patty melt)
Short Order: The Roadhouse might be the pinnacle of the Zingerman's empire and the burgers are part of the greatness
Want Fries With That? If you can, try both the regular and the sweet potato fries
Price: Burger w/fries, $12.95; patty melt, $14
Notes: Patty melt only on the lunch menu
When Zingerman's Deli opened its doors in 1982, it was a bit of a gustatory pioneer in a world where seeking out delicious food was not remotely close to the national pastime it's become. These days, it takes a place the size of Eataly to turn heads, but 30 years ago, the list of shop owners who spent time traveling the world to find great food was remarkably short. That's not to say that Zingerman's is a relic or even remotely behind the times today. The ownership is as committed as ever to spreading deliciousness across Ann Arbor, Michigan, and—via its mail-order business—all over the country.
The people behind Zingerman's have refused offers to franchise or set up shop in other cities, but that doesn't mean they haven't grown. Over the years, the Zingerman's empire has grown to include several additional businesses, including a bakehouse, a creamery, a candy company, and, most importantly for burger purposes, a restaurant called Zingerman's Roadhouse.
The Roadhouse, which opened in 2003, sells itself short with its motto, "Really Good American Food." See, while the menu has a Cheesecake Factory-esque variety of choices, from the sourcing of the ingredients to the execution in the kitchen, it mirrors the commitment to quality that has been a hallmark of the Deli for three decades. With Managing Partner/James Beard Award-winning chef Alex Young (Best Chef Great Lakes, 2011) focused on Cornman Farms (yet another part of the Zingerman's empire), the kitchen is now in the able hands of chef Kieron Hales.
Oddly enough, the burgers at the Roadhouse are still a work in progress. For years, they had their choice of beef from Niman Ranch, but when Cornman Farms started raising cattle (sustainably, of course), the restaurant had a new beef source at their disposal. Given economic reality and the socially responsible ethos of Zingerman's, that meant the days of unlimited chuck were a thing of the past. Today, the beef mix changes based on what's available—though it's primarily a blend of leg and shoulder—but Hales and his team are working on coming up with a mix that they can use consistently.
What's New On Serious Eats
That I can't be certain about what specific cuts went in my burger is immaterial. What matters is that the grass-fed beef, ground daily in the restaurant and put together in a not-too-dense patty, is one very good hunk of beef. The grilled burger came a shade more cooked than the medium rare requested but had a great crust around a warm pink center. Although I would have liked a little more fat, if this is the blend the kitchen settles on, you won't hear any complaints from me.
Burger eaters have the option of adding one of an ever-changing short list of American-made cheese. I opted for a seven-year Hook's cheddar for the princely sum of $3.50 an ounce. This was the most I've ever paid for cheese on a burger, but this beautifully melted layer of dairy was one pristine example of cheddar. A second add-on was the bacon from Nueske's, which upped the price another $2.50. Nueske's makes an awesome product, but I often find it to be a bit much for a burger. That was not the case here, where the thick patty and flavorful cheese kept the salty and smoky bacon in check. The final pieces, pickles from Ann Arbor's The Brinery and the soft onion roll from Zingerman's Bakehouse, were more than worthy of the burger.
As good as the burger was, the gut-busting patty melt was better. The beef itself is identical to the regular burger's, which is only notable because, well, who's ever heard of a patty melt with a half-pound patty? It works wonderfully here because the kitchen compensates for the large patty by upping the ante with every other part of the sandwich.
The thick slices of rye bread, which naturally comes from Zingerman's Bakehouse, is simply the best I've ever had the pleasure of eating. It's loaded with flavor, has a particularly thick and chewy crust around a soft interior, and will make virtually any sandwich ever invented taste better. The mountain of grilled onions and wild mushrooms add a sweet and juicy umami bomb to the patty melt, and the baby Swiss from Deppeler Cheese Factory in Monroe, Wisconsin, brings a nice coating of creaminess.
I ordered this one rare and the kitchen delivered. Not only was it a bit juicier than the medium/medium rare burger, but the reduced time on the griddle allowed for me to really appreciate how coarse the grind was. The beef had a nice chewiness that almost made it come across as hand-chopped. Oh, remember the lack of fat I mentioned in the burger? Thanks to a truly impressive amount of butter, that was not remotely an issue with this wonderfully overpowering beast of a sandwich.
The Roadhouse gets a lot of meat and produce from Cornman Farm, but for potatoes they have to look elsewhere. The sweet potatoes, available for a $1 upcharge, are from the wonderfully named Frog Holler Organic Farm. These extremely thick roasted potatoes were more than solid, but there's no sense in eating that much starch when the rest of the menu is so good. The white potatoes, which come from a variety of sources and are not always made from the same type of potato, were really flavorful but were a bit soft for my tastes.
I got there at about 4 p.m. on a Sunday afternoon, a time where I expected to have my choice of seats. That was foolish of me. The Zingerman's name alone is enough to bring people in, but when the place gets accolades like Alton Brown declaring the mac & cheese to be the country's best comfort food, that doesn't help matters. Fortunately, some spots at the first-come, first-served counter opened up, giving me a great view of the bustling kitchen while I enjoyed a couple of great burgers, some excellent sides, and possibly the finest fried chicken that has ever crossed my lips.

Corn and beans were trading higher for most of the day before finishing unchanged on the close. Outside markets were supportive with the Dow Jones up over 175 points and crude oil $3 higher. Despite this rallies have continued to be met with more sell pressure.
Export sales this morning were better than expected for corn and allowed for a quick rally on the open. Beans and wheat weekly export sales were as expected.
Estimated Range Actual
Soybeans 550,000 MTs – 850,000 MTs 741,800 MTs
Corn 600,000 MTs – 1,300,000 MTs 1,291,300 MTs
Wheat 300,000 MTs – 650,000 MTs 431,200 MTs
There was not a whole lot of fresh news today besides sales. Obviously there are still plenty of traders waiting to sell rallies in this market. For grains to turn around and go higher again we may need to see more fundamental changes like even lower yield estimates from the USDA or a change in demand. Just in case the report is bullish we have been buying back hedges using option strategies. Even though we have already made a sharp move lower in grains it doesn't mean that the weakness is necessarily over. We still have a large number of spec longs in corn and soybeans that can be liquidated and the outside markets have been extremely volatile and weak these past few months. I would only recommend buying back hedges with "defined risk" option strategies for those who are well sold in this market. If you need more downside protection, please call in to discuss current strategies.

Government stonewalling on impact of budget cuts, watchdog says
OTTAWA — Nearly two years after a 2012 federal budget that announced $5.2 billion in cuts and eliminated 19,000 jobs, the Conservative government continues to stonewall the parliamentary budget officer's efforts to obtain information on how the cuts are affecting programs and services.
A day after Finance Minister Jim Flaherty announced the 2014 federal budget will be presented Feb. 11, Parliamentary Budget Officer Jean-Denis Frechette and his officials were at a Senate committee Tuesday explaining the office is still trying to obtain information on the impacts of service cuts from a budget delivered two years ago.
The PBO has yet to receive large amounts of service-level information from several major federal departments and agencies — whose combined budgets are in the tens of billions of dollars — that can provide Canadians with a clear picture on the fallout of the 2012 budget cuts.
Effectively, the PBO still doesn't have any real sense of how more than $5 billion in budget cuts are affecting federal programs and services across government, officials said. Nor has there been any official government response about why the PBO hasn't been provided the information.
The Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer is unable to fulfil its mandate if it can't obtain the information it has repeatedly requested, Frechette said.
The budget officer said Tuesday he's hopeful his office can use "parliamentary avenues" to obtain information from departments and agencies on the cuts, but says going back to court to obtain the data is still an option.
"The PBO has not yet received complete service-level data from federal departments and agencies, which is necessary to assess the fiscal sustainability of the Budget 2012 cuts," Frechette told members of the Senate's national finance committee.
The office has resorted to filing $5 federal access-to-information requests to get the data — and even those are producing limited results.
The PBO has submitted 33 access-to-information requests related to 2012 budget cuts, Frechette said, and is still awaiting final responses on 11 of those 33 requests.
Of the other 22 requests, PBO received only limited data on 10 requests, six of them had no relevant data, one request had all information withheld, three provided all data requested, and two of them said the information was covered by another department.
"It's unbelievable to me that the PBO would have to go so far as to file access-to-information requests," Liberal Sen. Catherine Callbeck said at committee.
Since 2008, the PBO has made 358 requests for government information.
Of those, 188 were received back with all the data requested, but nearly half — 170 requests — came back with incomplete information or the data was withheld, Frechette said.
"The main reason that comes back (from government) very frequently is that 'It's not part of your mandate,'" he explained.
A spokesperson for Treasury Board president Tony Clement suggested Tuesday the PBO has been overstepping its mandate in some of the information it has been requesting.
"Departments provide the Parliamentary Budget Officer the information that is in line with his mandate," Heather Domereckyj, press secretary for Clement, said in an email.
A Federal Court decision last year reaffirmed the right of the PBO to ask for the information on 2012 budget cuts that it has now been seeking for close to two years. In the ruling, the court said the budget officer has the mandate to estimate and analyze the cost of any issue that Parliament has jurisdiction over when requested to do so by an MP or senator.
Frechette said Tuesday he's working with federal departments and agencies to procure the requested information and that there are promising signs, but won't rule out taking the government back to court to get the data.
"Going back to court remains an option. I'm not saying that we will go, but it's an option among many other options," he said.

Top flight deals to Dar es Salaam (DAR)*

Fly to Dar es Salaam with KLM
Together with our global network, we as KLM Royal Dutch Airlines offer flights to Dar es Salaam, serving Julius Nyerere International Airport (DAR). We recognise that your time is valuable, which is why we are committed to getting you where you need to go on time. We have been recognised for our punctuality in the past, and we intend to keep it this way, so book your next flight to Dar es Salaam with us today!
Top Dar es Salaam attractions
- Mbudya Island: an uninhabited island reachable by means of a 20-minute motorboat ride, famous for snorkelling, sunbathing and hiking.

Get ready to explore Dar es Salaam with our helpful travel guide. Full of everything you need to know about visiting Tanzania, you can be fully prepared for your trip to Africa.
What's the best way to get around Dar es Salaam?
Taxis are cheap and plentiful, and you can hail one off the street during the day. At night, however, we recommend that you ring up a taxi firm as it can be difficult to track down parked taxis when it is dark. You can also catch a "daladala", which is a small minibus. These run on set routes but there are no fixed stops, so you can get off at any time by shouting "shusha". To head to the city centre, look for daladalas marked "postas", which mean they are travelling to the central post office. Daladalas are very cheap and there are lots of them around, so they tend to be very popular.
What's the weather in Dar es Salaam?
Expect sunshine and warm weather no matter when you visit, as the average temperature never drops below 23°C (73°F)! January is the warmest time to visit, with temperatures frequently heating up to above 30°C (86°F) and the chance of rain being virtually non-existent. Be careful of spring showers if you're heading to Dar es Salaam in April; torrential downpours are common!

Kaiser Notifications
By Phil_UKKaiser Notifications (for HTC Tytn II*)
Version 2.02
* This should also work on the HTC Touch Cruise, please let me know if you try it and it works okay. Works with Windows Mobile 6.1 and the .NET compact frame 2.0 or 3.5.
Version 2.02 - Fixes an error relating to date time parsing when using certain cooked ROMs. If you do not have this problem no need to upgrade.
Whats new in version 2.0?
Audio and vibrate reminder alerts for new items
Version 2 now allows you to add audio and vibrate reminder alerts for unread items. Most mobile phones do this and I started to miss this on the Kaiser. Mobile phones will intermitently beep/vibrate if you have new items but haven't seen them, whereas Windows Mobile generally sounds once when the item arrives but gives no additional sounds after that and leaves it to a flashing LED to get your attention. With this version your Kaiser will play a wav file of your choice and/or vibrate every so many minutes for new items.
To avoid battery drain and annoying those around you in your absence, the phone will increase the time span between reminders, the default is: Item arrives, phone alerts as normal. If after 5 minutes you haven't read the message, it will play the selected wav file and/or vibrate. If the message still goes unread it will then alert again after waiting for 10 minutes, then it will alert after a wait of 15 minutes, then 20 minutes, all the way up to 60 minutes, where it will then alert every hour. These settings are configurable.
Off schedule
You can now set a period where the Kaiser Notification program should not interupt you, typically this would be used for overnight. LEDs stop flashing, and no alerts are played for unread items. You can also select to turn the mobile phone off during this period which is great for saving battery power and knowing you are not going to be woken by a ringing phone.
What's fixed?
When roaming onto networks the LED will now flash normally.
What's still broken?
I've had no joy finding out how to flash the LED amber. You may still select amber as an option, however it will flash green. Hopefully I will get to the bottom of this soon.
As per a few requests I have not been able to adjust the flash rates for the LED, or have them light static while charging.
Installation Instructions
The program must be installed on 'Device' to work, it currently does not work if installed on storage card.
1) Copy the cab file to the device and run it. Install to device and not a storage card. If you have the first version it will be removed automatically.
2) From Programs click the new icon for 'Kaiser Notfication Setup'.
3) On first running the setup program the LEDs will automatically be set to the pre-defined defaults, change as required. Set up a schedule and reminder alerts as required.
A link is placed in the Windows/Startup folder during install that will ensure the tiny program that controls the LEDs is loaded automatically when the Kaiser is soft reset or turned off and back on.
Use Remove Programs to uninstall. After uninstall a soft reset is necessary to get the LEDs flashing as per the original HTC settings.
Other Information
Once this program is installed the LED will not light steady during a charge. This functionality will of course be restored after uninstalling.
Wi-Fi isn't indicated with this program as the device needs to be on to have Wi-Fi enabled anyway so you can see the connectoin status on the display.
Scheduling Mobile Phone to Turn On
(Update: On Windows Mobile 6.1 ROMs with Radio version 1.64.08.21 this is no longer an issue) If you set a schedule and select to turn the mobile phone on at the end of the scheduled period, please note the Kaiser will come fully on before timing out and going back to standby. This behaviour I can not change and is triggered by the radio chip. Please be careful if using this as option as when the phone turns on it could be subject to accidental button presses, and of course I can not be responsible for any charges you may incur if the phone accidently dials out.
Alert/vibrate reminders
The alert/vibrate reminder is silenced as soon as you read one or more unread items. You do not need to read all unread items to silence the alert/vibrate reminder. The idea of the reminder is to get you back to look at your phone for new items that have arrived but you have missed, once you read a single item the reminders are cancelled as it has done it's job of getting your attention. Should any new items arrive afterwards, the alerts will start again.
Sound files
You may select any wav file for the alert sound. Only wav files that are in the Windows folder are supported. You may of course add a wav to the Windows folder to use your own sound.
Any problems let me know in the support forum. Enjoy.

GPRS Connection Manager (PocketPC Phone Edition)
By edgecrush3rHi Guys,
Since my upgrade to WM6 and start using Windows Live Messenger, I got very annoyed by the weird behaviour of starting GPRS Connections even while connected through my local WiFi-router. Sooo scooping around the Internet, I found some usefull and un-usefull tips (such as removing the whole damn settings).
Since I am blessed with E-Ten's M700 ConnectionManager for enabling/disabling ALL connections EXCEPT GPRS connectivity, I started to roll-my-own little tool in order to simplify things a bit more :D . This tool simply modifies the Connection 'Enable' registrykey as explained on (http://www.pocketpc-live.com/collection-of-registry-tweaks-for-your-pocket-pc.html), nothing more nothing less and most of all it works for me.
Current features:
* Enable/Disable GPRS Connections
Coming-up features:
* Stop current active GPRS session
* Remember selected connection
(PS: I just wrote this tool in a couple of hours, because I realy got fed-up... The tool works perfectly for me, and should also for you. Needless to say I cannot hold any responsibility of the registry settings on your phone.)

By IngvarrTake note that this is an edition for ASUS P525 smartphone
Important - if you had version 1.0* installed, you need to remove it manually before installing a newer one
This software will replace the built-in T9 phone keypad input method with a new one.
Basically, this is a variation of the "letterwise" input method - instruction in one sentence is:
Hit the key with the letter you want, if it doesn't come up, hit Next("0+") until it does.
This first version does not do true predictive input yet, but its planned for future versions. Currently it's just a variation of "multitap" with important feature that it works almost in every application where soft keyboard works. Own P525's T9 works only in some apps (most notably it isnt working in Internet Explorer page input fields or Opera).
Also you can add own keypad languages/layouts - just edit kbddef.txt file. Make sure its properly formatted (empty lines count), and the file ends with empty line too. You may need to do soft reset to activate new layouts if you've edited the kbddef.txt.
Also it does not use IME, so you can turn standard "IME word completion" back on via "ASUS T9 utility".
Take note that custom input works only when its icon in "active" (highlighted) state. This is because some applications expect keypad in "numeric" mode instead of text mode, if so - you can activate PTap by long pressing "*"(or tapping in input method icon via stylus) and deactivate it by long pressing "*" and choosing "Deactivate" from menu or tapping on icon via stylus.
Most often you dont need to worry about it, since most applications automatically activate input icon when you enter text entering controls and deactivate it when you leave them.
Version 1.1:
- added the symbols panel. It can be called via long press of # (then it will auto-hide after symbol is entered), or via menu (then it will not auto-hide and you can enter several symbols). Symbols can be entered by choosing them via joystick or by typing their code. To show/hide symbol codes, press # when symbol panel is shown.

My project is called "The War: The Impact of World War II at Albion College." I've been looking at old records and documents to better understand the many ways in which the Second World War affected both the college and the town of Albion. I've also studied the ways in which the college changed and evolved as a direct result of its participation in the war.
Albion College, like many other colleges and universities in the United States, was greatly affected by the largest war in the history of the modern world. Many students entered military-sponsored programs to continue their education while receiving military training and earned officer's commissions upon graduation. The campus itself was involved in the military buildup, as detachments of Army Air Force cadets lived and trained there in 1943 and 1944.
In years past, I've completed research detailing the memories and experiences of World War II veterans, so I wanted to expand on my research to include experiences of those on the homefront who found themselves affected by the war. My advisor, Dr. Wes Dick, was the one who suggested I research Albion College as a wartime case study.
I have already began writing a departmental thesis, which combines all of my World War II research into an organized and chronological story of varying wartime experiences of those in Michigan. I plan to use this thesis, as well as my research knowledge gained from two summer fellowships through FURSCA, to prepare me for graduate studies in history following my graduation from Albion this coming spring.
The thesis itself explains that the war affected Michigan in many different ways, sometime in more ways than we had thought. I've been able to organize the stories of three United States Marines, one Army Air Force officer, and of course the stories of those on the homefront at Albion College. Thus far, I have completed roughly 80 pages of text, but it's impossible to tell how long the thesis will be by the end.
I think that this has been a great project to work on. There is certainly no shortage of interesting materials, and I am always excited to find something new that takes my study in a completely new and different direction. I'm impressed by how interested my fellow students and members of the faculty are by my research findings; we at Albion cannot deny that our college's past really is fascinating.

Important: Please read the Qt Code of Conduct - https://forum.qt.io/topic/113070/qt-code-of-conduct
Cannot seem to make toolbar be vertical
I have inherited an app with a toolbar on the main window via:
# self == QMainWindow self.toolbar = self.addToolBar("Main")
This gives a horizontal toolbar across the top. I wish to change it to a vertical toolbar down the left-hand side. I know this can be done because if I make the toolbar draggable I can drag it there, but I wish it to be fixed at left-vertical.
Mindful of the available overrides available for
QMainWindow.addToolBar(), the admonition in http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtoolbar.html#orientation-prop of "This function should not be used when the toolbar is managed by QMainWindow. " and having tried to follow https://stackoverflow.com/a/17327905/489865, I have ended up with:
self.toolbar = QToolBar() self.toolbar.setWindowTitle("Main") self.toolbar.setOrientation(QtCore.Qt.Vertical) self.addToolBar(QtCore.Qt.LeftToolBarArea, self.toolbar)
(and tried everything in-between), yet my toolbar remains steadfastly horizontal at the top....
(Actions are added to the toolbar after it has been added to the main window, if that makes any difference....)
What is the necessary code for a toolbar to come out vertically at the left, either before
addToolbar()or after it has been added, please?
Can it be a python binding issue ?
I took your code in ctor.
auto b = new QToolBar(); b->setWindowTitle("OTHER"); b->setOrientation(Qt::Vertical); b->addAction(QIcon(), "TEST"); addToolBar(Qt::LeftToolBarArea, b);
Yeah, that looks right. But it
can'treally shouldn't be a Python issue.
Although I have tried both ways, could you test your moving the
addActionto after the
addToolbar, and also add a second action, please?
auto b = new QToolBar(); b->setWindowTitle("OTHER"); b->setOrientation(Qt::Vertical); addToolBar(Qt::LeftToolBarArea, b); b->addAction(QIcon(), "TEST"); b->addAction(QIcon(), "TEST2");
Qt 5.9. visual stud. compiler
Thanks. Sigh. Dunno then what my issue is.
Also, if I make my toolbar movable, I can drag the "gripper" to the left, and it looks vertical, but when I release the mouse it "floats" back up to the top & horizontal.....
I'll investigate more tomorrow, I guess....
mrjj Lifetime Qt Champion last edited by mrjj
No idea, im totally python noob.
one thing i would check
i give it
LeftToolBarArea = 0x1,
enum Orientation {
Horizontal = 0x1,
Vertical = 0x2
for setOrientation
Is your value the same ?
Thanks. That's OK, I'm a Python/PyQt/Qt noob :) The values for the various enumerations through PyQt are correct.
A standalone, 20-line (PyQt) program does work correctly for this. So now I start trying to chop stuff out from the 32K-odd-lines application I have inherited to see if I can get it working there. Wish me luck....
Oh, so its related to full app. Well better than in the actual pyQt.
Well I didn't know it had anything to do with app context till I wrote a standalone just now. But it looks like it is....

BTW, when I get an email notification of that reply of yours it includes a very sweet "Snoopy-good-luck-image" ( :) ), but when I view the post here I see nothing. How does that work? :)

That sounds really odd.
Maybe browser blocks external images or something?
Its normally visible in forum too.
Also your reply have the image
as you can see here
Well that too is odd, because I don't see the image under default Firefox from Linux nor IE 11 from Windows.... I do see it under Chrome for Windows... I wonder what the setting is? OTOH, I do see your two "MainWindow" screenshots in all, however...
Maybe its just with animated gifs ?
Do you see this ?
Yep! But not Snoopy. Somehow I guess it's the source of the Url...
That would also make sense :)
Well, good news, and bad news!
I wonder whether you would be kind enough to investigate behaviour for me? The underlying problem seems to be to do with saving & restoring main window state, and is a bit weird....
First, starting from scratch my Python code for vertical, left-hand side toolbar is indeed working fine, in itself, just like the C++ code. So that's good.
The stakeholder has now decided that the toolbar is to be
setMovable(True)after all (but still
At this point, I can drag & dock toolbar to all 4 sides fine. As you know, when you drag toolbar main window "expands areas" to visually show where it can be docked, and all 4 are shown.
We save & restore main window layout (see below). If I have dragged toolbar to either left or right vertical all is well, after re-run program and restore toolbar can still be dragged to all 4 positions.
However, if I drag toolbar to either top or bottom horizontal, after re-run program and restore toolbar it is not only possible to drag it to top or bottom, never to left or right, and only the top & bottom areas "expand" to allow drop.
The only way to then rectify this is to delete the saved layout-state
.conffile externally. Then all reverts to original good behaviour.
Skip all following stuff about save/restore, and go straight to next IMPORTANT EDIT afterward.
The code outline is:
Take your C++ as starting point.
On window close:
QSettings.setValue("main_state", self.saveState())
In constructor, after having constructed toolbar & set its options:
mainState = Settings.value("main_state") if mainState: self.restoreState(mainState)
That is what causes this strange behaviour. I'm wondering whether this must somehow to be to do with http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtoolbar.html#allowedAreas-prop, because it's as though it's only allowing top & bottom now [EDIT: Just verified
self.toolbar.allowedAreas() == Qt::AllToolBarAreasalways, both before & after any restores.];
unless it's something to do with the[EDIT: Just removed the
setOrientationnot supposed to be used with
setOrientationcompletely, doesn't seem to be needed (presumably
addToolBar(Qt::LeftToolBarArea)is dealing with this for main window, perhaps why they say don't use
setOrientationfor main window). But no difference for this problem behaviour, so you can try with or without according to me.]
My head hurts. If you fancy looking into this you know I'd be most grateful!
OK, forget about all the stuff to do with saving/restoring. It's not that. Quite simply, look at the
QMainWindow::addToolBar(Qt::LeftToolBarArea, toolbar);:
- If you use
Qt::RightToolBarArea, you can drag & drop toolbar to all 4 sides.
- But if you use
Qt::BottomToolBarArea, you can never drag & drop to left or right side, only top or bottom.
Period. Given that it can support all 4 drag sides after starting at left or right, yet cannot support drag to left or right if starting at top or bottom, is this a bug??
[EDIT: Oh dear, this only appears to be the behaviour in my app, not in standalone test, I'm investigating further...]
Will do, but first this evening :)
Cheers, I'll buy you a drink ;)
I did begin to wonder whether you do anything other than answer posts here during working hours... ;-)
oh, i do. ;)
Its just my old pc (2011) is getting tired so with new c++14 and 64bit virtual machines,
it takes a bit to compile and then learning more Qt is always nice.
If & when you have time to look at my latest edit to my question, you'll see we can skip anything to do with save/restore. The problem seems to be quite simple now: you cannot reposition a toolbar to left/right if it starts at top/bottom, but you can the other way round.....??
[EDIT: Oh dear, oh dear, this is not a problem in the standalone test, only in my actual app. More investigating... :( Any idea at all what might cause this behaviour for me to look at?]
Sadly no. Normally all areas are allowed.
OK, once & for all, I think I understand what the situation is now(!)
- You start with a horizontal toolbar on the main window.
- You have other layout/controls on the page, which take up a lot of horizontal layout. This effectively gives the page a minimum width, below which you cannot resize the window.
- Your window width is a bit more than the minimum, but not a lot wider.
- You attempt to drag the toolbar from horizontal at top to vertical at side.
The problem here is that there is not enough space across the width of the window to allow the vertical "docking" area for the toolbar to appear, because that would shrink the window's horizontal layout content below the minimum it needs. So you cannot drag & drop the toolbar to left or right.
In some shape or form, if you start out with the toolbar vertical it displays it there, but once it has been dragged to the top horizontal, it no longer lets you revert to vertical, which didn't really fit.
I can see the problem. Of course I was not aware I was in this situation while I developed/tested. It's a nasty one for my end users, because once dragged horizontal it's not clear why they find it impossible to revert to vertical. But at least I know now, and they can be told to widen the window before attempting to revert to vertical toolbar.
Thanks for all your help!
Oh that was a tricky one.
Good debugging !
So due to Min. values, once removed/dragged,
you cannot drag into same place as the layout prevents it ?
I assumed mainwindow would sort of reserve some space for it but that is clearly not the case
it seems.
Yes that's the gist. I think there might be a special case where the toolbar starts off vertical when it shouldn't have enough room horizontally really, but just ignore that. Once you're into dragging, if there isn't enough horizontal (or vertical) space given the page content minima for the destination of the drag, quite simply Qt does not open up the "blued reception area" to drop into, and when you release the mouse the toolbar reverts to where it was.
Which I found confusing, I didn't understand what was going on, and I just didn't realise my (resizeable) main window size happened to be too close to the minimum width in the first place. Now I do, and I can understand Qt's behaviour, even if it's a little "non obvious". :)
@JNBarchan said in Cannot seem to make toolbar be vertical:
"non obvious". :)
It was very sneaky IMHO.
I thought that all the use of central widget would always allow room for
docks/toolbars. !
Remember I'm a noob. But if it always "allowed room for moving the toolbar anywhere", you'd have permanent reserved empty space always, which doesn't seem right. At some level my content's layout (I didn't write it) --- even the "central widget" --- has some minimum width, and if the window is narrowed down to somewhere close to that there just isn't room across the main window to allow for the toolbar to now take up extra width space by being dragged to vertical. Which makes sense.
Im going to see if i can reproduce it/get the same effect :)
My main window has half a dozen "filter controls" laid out like:
Label1: Label2: Label3: ... <input1> <input2> <input3> ...
where the <input> controls, I think, have a decent minimum width. They don't move down to the next line or anything when I resize, so that, I think, is what gives it an overall considerable minimum width for the main window.
ok so its not just one big widget. good info. :)
No. But of course those widgies will doubtless be positioned/added onto some other widgey, etc..... Ultimately I think there are vertical/horizontal vbox layouts. I note the starting point seems to be:
# Configure main widget self.centralWidget = QtWidgets.QWidget(self) self.centralLayout = QtWidgets.QVBoxLayout(self.centralWidget) self.centralLayout.setContentsMargins(0, 0, 0, 0) self.centralLayout.setSpacing(0) self.pageStack = QtWidgets.QStackedWidget(self.centralWidget) self.addPages() self.initActions() self.toolBar() self.pageStack.setCurrentIndex(0) # Set up layouts self.centralLayout.addWidget(self.pageStack) self.setCentralWidget(self.centralWidget)
so that gives a "glimpse" of what's going on....
Ok it was easy to reproduce.
just with one widget in central and min size of 200.
if you reduce mainwindow size till it cant get smaller, you are not
able to dock the toolbar back again. (to the side)
It seems to function in top/bottom.
Thanks :)
You can also reduce mainwin width to minimum + ~1cm and it will still happen, depending on width of required vertical toolbar, so doesn't only happen when window at minimum width.
That's what I've been experiencing for two days, but I didn't know what was going on!
It seems to function in top/bottom.
Yes, in this case. I haven't tried (maybe you have), but it might happen if page has a minimum height on its widgets and not enough room for even one-line horizontal toolbar at top, but harder to set that up.
My sample had min as 200x200 and i just tried now again.
If no toolbar from beginning at top and you resize.
You cant dock back either.
Oddly enough add space with setContentsMargins(0, 0, 0, 0)
Didnt help. Even a small strip of space was seem.
I assume its due to events not reaching mainwindow.
