HAMPTON — The cause of a four-alarm fire which caused major loss to a seven-unit apartment building at 707 Ocean Boulevard on Saturday remained under investigation this week, but does not appear to be of a suspicious nature, according to Hampton Fire Inspector Jonathan True.
Rain was falling and the skies had darkened at 5:27 p.m. Saturday, the time the first alarm was sounded. True said the three-story, wood frame structure was fully involved when firefighters arrived on the scene. An off-duty firefighter had already started kicking in the doors, he said.
The building, which housed 11 tenants, is owned by Arthur Labrie. No injuries occurred as a result of the fire, which caused major damage to the second and third floors, and smoke damage to apartments on the first floor.
With billowing smoke often obscuring the view of the crowds of spectators assembled outside the yellow police tape cordoning off the area, more than 100 firefighters from 10 communities fought the blaze, making aggressive interior attacks and searches, True said. Their efforts were hampered by "rapidly deteriorating conditions," said True, as the winds shifted to the east due to an approaching storm. "The building itself became unsafe for firefighters," True said, making it necessary to order them to evacuate the building.
True said the building was not fire-resistant, and was quite dry. The structural members (posts and beams) had failed, according to True. Decks on the rear of the building had totally burned right through, he added, and there was partial collapse of the roof. Minor damage occurred to the building five feet south of the fire, while no damage was reported to the residence standing 15 feet north of the fire.
True said the three or four ladder pipes used were pumping 3000-4000 gallons of water a minute, in addition to hand lines being used. He estimated water output to have been at 6000- 7000 gallons a minute. "The water system didn't fail; we overtaxed it," True said.
Less than two hours after the fire began, flames were still shooting through the ocean side of the building, as skies cleared overhead. Firefighters from as far south as Newburyport, Salisbury, and Amesbury, Massachusetts, joined in the effort to extinguish the stubborn blaze, as well as firefighters from Seabrook, North Hampton, Rye, Portsmouth, Stratham, and Exeter. The time of the "All Out" was 7:10 a.m. on Sunday morning.
The building did have smoke detectors and did have a certificate of occupancy, True said, and has been released to the owner. True said he expects his department to have completed its investigation by Friday. As of this paper's deadline on Tuesday, two pets, a cat and a dog, had not been located. True said he remained optimistic that the chance exists that both escaped when the doors were first removed.

The staff serving drinks in the evening and at breakfast were very nice.
The cooked breakfast was outstanding with home made potato scone a nice touch. The room (210) was large with en suite bathroom. Decor a little dated but charming and had a sea view. Bathroom could have had a deeper clean of the plug in bath but couldn't fault anything else. Hotel has a family feel to it.

South Beach Hotel
Pleasent suprise.
Great welcome. Would recommend. Got that old fashioned feel about it but makes it more unique and has a golf theme. Room view was over the beach but in between two houses but if your in the upper middle rooms you can watch the sun set. I prefer a more modern hotel personally, this one is certainly ok & breakfast was great too. So a 👍 up from us.

It's been exactly 1 year since we purchased our first home.
As I'm preparing to show you our completely renovated space in the next coming weeks, I'd like to start off with a house that inspired our redesign time and time again.
I am a modern glam gal no matter how you twist it, but my heart truly lies in antiques and a vintage aesthetic, evidenced by my absolute adoration for thrifting and bargain hunting.
This gorgeous abode by Anne Brahler for House Beautiful magazine has everything I desire and more! A charming interior with tons of European furnishings, gilded mirrors, a classic black and white palette, all topped off with the most amazingly curated collection of stunning chandeliers I've ever seen in one space!
Ahhhh dying over this entire home!
So much in fact that it was my plastered to my desktop wallpaper for months before deciding which way to design and decorate our own home. Can't wait to show you how far we've come!
Stay tuned hunnies!

These days more and more men with dreadlocks are feeling confident about wearing them within a professional setting. I get questions and emails a lot about professional dreadlock styles for men.
In this current generation and landscape dreadlocks has become a feature hairstyle specifically for men. This new trend has become so popular that offices, which did not allow this hairstyle previously have now somewhat adapted. However there still may include some strict measures which incorporate wearing them professionally and in a formal manner.
In this article/post, I will present different styles that may or may not work in an office setting – it really depends on your situation and work environment. However, if done properly I believe these styles can be presentable and office fashionable. Let's take a look …
Dreadlock Ponytail
The ponytail is the most classic way to style your dreadlocks – especially if your locs are long enough. Once your dreadlocks become a certain length, one of the first things folks do is tie them into a ponytail. Not only is this a convenient way to keep your locs away from your eyes and out of the way, but it's a clean and neat style for a professional setting.
As you can see these ponytail styles are a clean and neat appearance for any office or professional setting. The great thing is it's probable the easiest dreadlock style one can implement. The only problem is for those folks who haven't grown their dreadlocks long enough – but don't worry there are other things one can do.
Let 'em Hang – Straight Down Look
Here is another great style that people with dreadlocks wish they could sport more often. The problem lies with a couple situations. The first is how annoying your dreadlocks are when they are hanging free? If someone has a lot of individual locs, wearing this style can be tough.
The most irritating thing is having your locs consonantly in your face or even worse – your food! But this doesn't mean you can't let them free from time to time because sometimes you just want to show those bad boys off.
If done properly you can rock your locs freely and let them hang loose. Just remember when you let your locs straight down, they become more noticeable. This is the main reason why we wear them down and free is because we want to show them off, but it may not be the attention we want in a professional setting. I say proceed with caution in the office.
Afro – Short Dreadlocks
This is one of the hardest stages in attaining long luscious dreadlocks. It's getting past the short/Afro phase of the growing process. I remember within the first year of growing my locs that whenever I did an athletic activity (mainly playing basketball) afterwards my dreadlocks looked like one big afro. It can be really difficult to keep your young locs looking fresh all the time.
But as I said before don't worry because you can still look 'professional' even with short dreadlocks. With most things, it is all about presentation … presentation is representation. So if you present your short/Afro style locs properly then they can represent the office look desired.
Misc – Other Professional Styles
Here are a couple more professional styles that achieve the desired look when going to work or being in the office.
- Braided – This is similar to the ponytail except the front part is braided instead of just pulled back. A wonderful sleek look that is presentable and fashionable.
- The Bun – This is another style that keeps your dreadlocks in place. I would only suggest this hairstyle for people who have a massive amount of locs and need a presentable method to keep them in place.
In Conclusion
It may be true that all men may not look good or very professional with dreadlocks as a hairstyle. Folks may say it depends on the shape of the head and report on other factors of why dreadlocks aren't professional. Alternative views depict having dreadlocks are predicated on whether you have money.
Dreadlocks can be high maintenance and having them is a long process. It can require a lot of finances in order to maintain them efficiently by going for repair once or twice in a month. There may be many other reasons, but to me all that doesn't matter. The question you must ask yourself is "How do I feel?" Basically, if you feel comfortable and you feel professional all other obstacles will be easily overcome.
Let us know what you think about dreadlocks being professional or not. Your feedback and opinions are always welcome and appreciated.

US meddling in Marawi tramples PH's sovereignty
By Kilusang Mayo Uno
Joining today's protests to commemorate the 119th Philippine Independence Day, national labor center Kilusang Mayo Uno condemned the government of the United States of America for its continued intervention in the country amidst the continuing armed conflict in Marawi City.
"Filipino workers cannot commemorate national independence while a foreign power continue to trample our country's sovereignty and patrimony. It was the US that instigated the armed crisis in Marawi. It is the US' meddling that has escalated this conflict which has already, killed, injured, displaced and violated the rights of hundreds of thousands of Filipinos," said KMU secretary general Jerome Adonis.
The KMU insisted that the conflict in Marawi was US instigated citing that the crisis came after President Rodrigo Duterte forged greater economic, political and military ties with China and Russia which threatens the US' geopolitical and economic interests in the Philippines.
"The Marawi siege was the US' response to Duterte's pro-China and pro-Russia leanings. The US mobilized their henchmen defense secretary Delfin Lorenzana, National Security adviser Hermohenes Esperon and AFP Chief of Staff Eduardo Año to sow terror in Mindanao under the guise of an anti-terror operation against Isnilon Hapilon, an alleged leader of the US-backed ISIS in the Philippines," said Adonis.
The labor leader meanwhile challenged President Duterte to live by his pronouncements of an independent foreign policy and reject the US' continued intervention in the country.
"President Duterte must standby his independent foreign policy pronouncements by rejecting the US' continued intervention. He should put his anti-US colonialism words into action by driving-off their troops away from our country. This is only way for Duterte to prove that his foreign policy is genuinely independent," Adonis said.
KMU also called on Duterte to lift his martial law in Mindanao saying not only has it given license to the military's brutal attack against the workers and people's rights and civil liberties, it also gives the US a stronger foothold over the country's political, economic and military affairs.
"Duterte's martial law not only gives license to the military's fascist attacks against the people, it also gives license to further US intervention. With their top henchmen in command of the authoritarian rule in Mindanao, the US has now a stronger foothold over the country's political, economic and military affairs. This is exactly what the US is after in instigating the Marawi conflict," said Adonis.
Adonis ended by calling on Filipino workers and people to condemn the US for using civilians in Marawi City as hostage to enforce their imperialist rule over the Philippines and to unite and fight for national sovereignty against US intervention.

RN Programs in Connecticut
To work as a registered nurse, a person has to be a naturally nurturing individual. Nurses make their patients their top priority, and they have to spend a great deal of time learning about various aspects of the medical field. With that in mind, registered nursing can open doors to a career that is almost guaranteed to be in high demand well into the future. As the population increases, so does the need for RNs across the country.
An individual can get a bachelor's or associate's degree in nursing, and the one that he or she chooses will determine how much money he or she earns every year. Nurses with higher degrees often make higher money because they can start in upper level positions at hospitals and clinics.
Becoming an RN by Examination in Connecticut
In order to become an RN by examination in Connecticut, an individual must:
- Successfully complete a state-approved RN program
- Pass the NCLEX-RN
- Submit a completed application and a check or money order for the $180.00 fee
- Submit an official transcript of nursing education
If the applicant graduated from a nursing program that is located outside of the United States, then he or she must also complete the CGFNS International Certification program.
Becoming an RN by Endorsement in Connecticut
In order to become an RN by endorsement in Connecticut, an individual must:
- Submit a completed application with a check or money order for the $180.00 fee
- Submit an official transcript of nursing education proving that the individual has received a degree, diploma, or certificate in nursing
- Documentation of any name change that the individual may have undergone
Individuals who have been trained and licensed in Canada who meet the educational requirements can be eligible to be RNs by endorsement if he or she has passed the CRNE in English with a score that is equivalent to Connecticut's current passing score.
If a Canadian nurse passed the CRNE in French, he or she also pass the Test of English as a Foreign Language given by the Educational Testing Service with a score of at least 550 on the paper-based test or 213 on the computer test.
An individual who is currently licensed as an RN in another US is eligible to receive a 120-day temporary permit that cannot be renewed.

The Best RN Schools in Connecticut
By offering the most complete directory of nursing schools, NurseGroups.com helps Connecticut residents find the best local RN programs, as well as the best online RN schools whose accreditation is accepted by the Connecticut Board of Nursing.
Why Online RN Classes?
Being a registered nurse is a great career. But many working adults who want to become an registered nurse have an extremely busy schedule - balancing a full-time job, family commitments and other personal responsibilities. The traditional classroom setting offered by most local nursing schools doesn't offer the same flexibility as taking their RN classes online.
Online nursing programs allow each student to fit their education into his or her already busy schedule. Online students can participate in discussion forums and take exams when it's convenient for them. RN nursing students can access their virtual classroom 24 hours per day / seven days per week.
Also, taking RN courses online saves students even more time, as online students don't need to commute to school. Online schools enable busy people to get an RN degree, without interfering with their current professional and personal life.

I have struggled for the past few days to decide what to post about on International Women's Day. It seems as apropos a day as any to be writing for my feminist book blog, and I have a backlog of books to discuss, but I couldn't make up my mind.
Luckily, when I arrived at work yesterday morning—an opening shift at a bookstore on New Release Tuesday—the answer was waiting for me on the bestseller table. Dear Ijeawele, or A Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It ticked a lot of boxes. A book with "feminist" in the title, by a known feminist author, and one short enough to read in a day. I'm choosing to call it an International Women's Day Eve miracle.

Investor appetite returned Tuesday in the Asia-Pacific region, even as Japanese equities saw weakness because of a stronger yen.
Korea's Kospi index 180721, +0.18% , which rose 3.2% last week, hit a 23-month high Tuesday on hopes that improved sentiment would continue when a new government takes charge following the impeachment and removal of Park Geun-hye.
"Given the recent political events, we believe the new administration will continue to focus on improving corporate governance," said Chong Hak Park, chief investment officer at Baring Asset Management in Korea.
As the Kospi rose 0.9% Tuesday, index heavyweight Samsung Electronics 005930, +0.81% climbed 1.4% to reach another record; the stock has jumped 11% this month. Investors seem to be shrugging off any issues the company has had related to the broader political scandal in the country.
While other Asia markets logged smaller gains, Japan was lagging. Japanese markets were closed for a holiday on Monday. Since Friday, the yen has gained more than 1% against the dollar while bond yields have fallen. Neither development will be welcomed by a host of Japanese companies, from financial firms to exporters.
Insurer Dai-ichi Life 8750, +0.56% lost 2.2% and T&D Holdings 8795, -0.47% slid 3.4%, while auto-parts makers Koito 7276, +0.19% and Aisin Seiki 7259, +2.20% fell 3.1% and 2.6%, respectively.
The dollar hit a three-week low of ¥112.26 but has since rebounded toward ¥112.60, helping cut what was a 0.8% decline for the Nikkei NIK, +0.05% to 0.3%.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 XJO, +0.16% was recently down 0.1%, led lower by financial companies. Meanwhile, consumer confidence fell to its lowest point in nearly a year.
"Continued soft wage growth is likely a factor," along with the uptick in February's unemployment rate, said David Plank, ANZ's head of Australian economics.

I went for:
Mille Slingbacks in Navy
I have, for a while, noticed a navy-shoe-gap in my wardrobe. I have loads of navy office wear for work, preferring it to black, but never bought any navy shoes. Unsure why. So, I saw these and thought they'd fit the bill. I have a few pairs of Boden shoes and they are beautifully made, so for a little over £20, these were a total bargain, I thought. I've worn them twice for work this week, though, and they have started squeaking when I walk, which is a bit annoying. Not loudly, it's like a small mouse squeak level, but annoying all the same. They have also creased across the front making them look a bit worn. It's not the end of the world, but if I'd paid the full price (£99), I would NOT have been happy! Boden are usually great with their customer service though so I'm sure it wouldn't have been an issue. As it is, I'm going to keep them and hope the creasing doesn't get worse and the squeaking doesn't get any louder, like to size-of-a-small-dog-rat squeak level, or I'll have a problem.
Betty Top in Ivory
This is showing as completely sold out now which is a shame as I was contemplating going back for another colour. I thought this top was a nice basic that would go with lots - jeans, skirts...pretty much everything, really. I like the ruffle neckline and button detail. It's light, so a bit see through, but I often find that with lighter coloured tops so I have plenty of camis and vests to see to that. This worked out at around £8 with the additional 20% discount so a good reduction from the original £49 price.
|Obviously this isn't the ivory version, which I can't find a pic of ANYWHERE.
Image from Boden website.
This is so far from anything I'd normally wear, but I liked the colours and the model in the pic looked like she was having so much fun (obviously down to the dress). I, so far, haven't had any fun in the dress. This is mainly because it's rained pretty much every day since my Boden delivery arrived, and I definitely think this is a sunny-day-dress. Fingers crossed I'll get a chance to wear it this year. It's a nice, thick, structured cotton and the shape is good too. I'm not sure why it doesn't have a belt as I think this would make it look so much better, but for £18 it was such a good buy that I'm sure I can work around that issue (by, errmm, buying a belt).
|Image from Boden website
All of these pieces have now sold out in the colours I got - there are some other options still available - but I always keep an eye on Boden's website when I'm after something as stock often reappears. Another good place to check out is Boden's Ebay Shop which often has great bargains too (the cashmere jumper I mentioned in my last post came from here).
So that's IT - definitely no more shopping for me! Not until I move. Definitely. No. More. For definite. Yup.

Reposted from Marilyn Friesen
Pete, Joe and Mike openly mocked when Stan came into their hospital ward.
"Hey, Doug," Joe called. "Yer old man is here. Do you think he's gonna preach a sermon today?"
Doug glowered towards the door, but dropped his eyes when Stan appeared.
He muttered a few curses but managed to add "Hi, Dad," when the tall, thin man sat down stiffly beside him.
Doug sighed inwardly: another hour of enduring his father's obvious discomfort with how his fellow Aids patients acted up. He knew without a doubt their actions were more unnatural, their language filthier when he came around.
Doug sighed, again. Why couldn't he just bug off? Just because I'm his son and dying of this creepy disease is no reason for him to stick around.
"You, okay, son?"
"Same as usual: no better, no worse," he lied, although he knew perfectly well his life was ebbing out of him.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" Stan sat with his hands tightly folded on his lap and Doug, as well as several others took note of the look of revulsion on his features.
Ya, Doug thought, just once you can get that awful nauseated look off your face and treat me like a human.
What he didn't know, however, was how desperately Stan was praying for compassion, for understanding towards these people.
But one day Stan was different. He was still quiet and dignified, but he spoke to them with respect, and by name! He ever shook their hands when he greeted them. The assortment of men viewed him with wary surprise.
Stan continued to visit his son on a daily basis, and the men sensed that Stan was different, that he really did care about them. First one then another responded to the obvious love they felt from him, and some even started unburdening their hearts.
It was a happy day when Doug, who had always been a wayward boy, broke down and confessed a fear of dying.
"Dad," he wept, "I need Jesus, but I'm so afraid He won't accept me because I have sinned so badly."
While the others listened in, Stan convinced his son that it was for people such as Doug that Jesus had laid down His life.
Doug made such a complete change, and was so obviously at peace with God and man after he confessed his sins, that no one tried to dissuade him. It was considered unusual how peacefully he died under the circumstances.
Both the hospital staff and the patients were deeply impressed with the caring Stan showed, but Jesus helped him.

Life is not a series of independent events, but rather, each event is influenced by what just happened and what might happen next. However, many research studies treat any given trial as an independent and isolated event. Some research fields explicitly test trial-to-trial influences (e.g., repetition priming, task switching), but many, including visual search, largely ignore potential inter-trial effects. While trial-order effects could wash out with random presentation orders, this does not diminish their potential impact (e.g., would you want your radiologist to be negatively affected by his/her prior success in screening for cancer?). To examine biases related to prior trial performance, data were analyzed from airport security officers and Duke University participants who had completed a visual search task. Participants searched for a target "T" amongst "pseudo-L" distractors with 50% of trials containing a target. Four set sizes were used (8,16,24,32), and participants completed the search task without feedback. Inter-trial analyses revealed that accuracy for the current trial was related to the outcome of the previous trial, with trials following successful searches being approximately 10% more accurate than trials following failed searches. Pairs of target-absent or target-present trials predominantly drove this effect; specifically, accuracy on target-present trials was contingent on a previous hit or miss (i.e., other target-present trials), while accuracy on target-absent trials was contingent on a previous correct rejection or false alarm (i.e., other target-absent trials). Inter-trial effects arose in both population samples and were not driven by individual differences, as assessed by mixed-effects linear modeling. These results have both theoretical and practical implications. Theoretically, it is worth considering how to control for inter-trial variance in statistical models of behavior. Practically, characterizing the conditions that modulate inter-trial effects might help professionals searchers perform more accurately, which can have life-saving consequences.

Nick grew up with an active lifestyle that started with a love of soccer. After graduating high school in 1996, he joined the United States Marine Corps and pursued his education at California State University, Long Beach. While there, he was the coxswain for the Varsity Beach Crew and competed on the men's soccer team. After two years, he transferred to Santa Ana College and earned an A.S. in Fire Science with hopes of becoming a firefighter.
In 2003, Nick was sent to Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. During his deployment, he conducted combat operations, which later earned him a Combat Action Ribbon. When Nick returned from his tour, he joined the City of Long Beach as a firefighter and paramedic. In 2010, he was introduced to CrossFit by one of his peers, and he's been hooked ever since!

In the North Pole, there's Malu Bhalu. Malu, the polar bear, is just a bit bigger than a ball of snow but she can't wait to explore the world. Never mind that she doesn't know how to swim, Malu thinks. But when she finds herself stuck on an iceberg floating far away from home, her mother, Bhalu, shows her that the only way to do something you can't do is to forget right and wrong and simply do it.
Working their magic behind the scenes (or should we say pages?) are all the ladies whose drapes fill the pages of My Mother's Sari. It's really just one long piece of cloth and yet the sari becomes anything a child wants it to be, from the dreamy and the imaginative; long trains and beautiful rivers to the utterly practical; cozy hammocks and handy nose wipes!
In the much loved What Shall I Make? Neeraj's mother finds something just as versatile as the sari for her little son to play with − a little ball of chapatti dough! (Of course, Neeraj loves it most of all when his mother rolls it, puts it on the stove and makes a light, puffy chapatti for him!)
Then there's the moon-faced Paati from Grandma's Eyes, whose twinkly eyes and big smile are as reassuring as only they can be. Not to forget the grandmother from The Neverending Story who really knows how to spin a whacky yarn. And speaking of whacky, we almost forgot the mad momma on the block! − Meera's mother from What Did You See? (Now she can do an equally good imitation of a ferocious lion and a loony monkey – can you?)
Finally, there's Kiran's mother (by the way, Where is Amma?) who Kiran believes is likely to empty the contents of an entire bottle of jam sitting inside the fridge! Given that he found her slippers right outside, this makes complete sense.
Dig our mothers? Can't get enough of them?
Yes, they're now on Flipkart.

Remember Me
Growing up in Yorkshire, I've owned a flat cap but no whippet, but have emerged relatively normal (except for being very frugal and a closet Leeds fan). Life has afforded me the opportunity to live, learn and train for ministry with Youth for Christ, in America with the Church of the Nazarene, as well as here in sunny Manchester. I currently lead the Longsight Pastoral Team, and minster by serving the church and community alongside a highly gifted and passionate team of God-loving and gracious ministers. I'm involved in a whole heap of wonderful ministries, compassionate projects and transformational-discipleship with lots and lots of great people.
Some personal stuff: If I could be anywhere – I'd be with my family (my wonderful wife and children, perhaps somewhere warm ...) If I could do anything, it would involve something active (snowboarding, walking?), and take place outdoors. If I could be playing anything, it would probably be my guitar or football or hockey. If I could be watching something, it would some good TV drama, live football, or listening to some live music.I'm a life-long learner, and currently I'm researching/writing on Practical Theology and Children's Spiritual Formation. And finally, I lead a double life: as well as being a member of the Longsight Pastoral Team I'm a chaplain and teacher of Maths and RE in a local CE secondary school (which has allowed me to visit Taizé and work for the Diocese of Manchester Board of Education).

A few years ago, on my birthday, Harsha took me to a Vietnamese restaurant on campus, Kai Hanon (literally means Festival Opening). We have been going there for a few years but for one dish: Deep fried lemongrass chicken. But one glance around the place, and you will find everyone else's dishes more interesting. And a major chunk of the Asians out there slurping on a certain noodle soup. Noodles in a soup? Never saw anything like that before. I even ridiculed it in my head. But this birthday, I wanted to try something new. And there was nothing else I knew on the menu. When the owner comes down to our table, to take our order, I pointed at the next table and asked for that dish with noodles and soup. He gave me a curious look and asked 'beef okay?'. 'Yes'. Harsha looks at me doubtfully and suggests we order a backup. When it finally arrived, first slurp, 'Harsha, its like bone soup, but more fatty. Must be the beef'. Second slurp, 'I don't know. Can I eat your food?'. But eventually, it grew on me and I couldn't stop taking bites of the steak and slurping my soup. The sriracha made my Indian taste buds happy, but the original flavor was so well balanced that i decided to lay off it. Harsha watched in disbelief that i ate my whole bowl and ignored the precious lemongrass chicken. And so it started. A love affair with Pho.
Whenever i can get a take out, it is almost always Pho. The salty soup, the steak, the rice noodles cooked to perfection, the toppings, …. i adore it all. As a home cook, a quick estimation of cost looking at the ingredients makes my paying 10$ for a bowl of pho not so smart. Been wanting to make it myself but been put it off thinking its not worth buying additional spices for one experiment.
When i started looking for a theme for this blog, i picked 'Duet Theme'. I wanted to see what it looks like and started searching for blogs using this theme. That is when i stumbled upon 'The Squeaky Robot'. I adore her blog and everything about her. And she has a post dedicated to Pho. It was a 'i found someone special' moment i very rarely find with bloggers. I dedicated a good chunk of my weekend and read it cover to cover. Back to the story, she made pho. She is a world traveller and wanderer. And i have a well stocked kitchen. If she can do it, i should be able to do it.
With the impending trip to fetch groceries round the corner, I suggested the asian market. Harsha is happy i did pick 'whole (paycheque) foods' or some farmers market miles away. We pick up our usual stuff and then i tell him to stay back since he may not be able to handle the meat section. Tell a man he cant handle it, and vola, he accompanies you where ever you want him to go. Soon, he is making faces that read 'disgusting' , 'can we go now', 'what on earth do you want from here?', 'i dont want to eat it', …. Well Harsha, the prophecy of "i want to learn how to cook every part of every animal" is coming true. Four years of marriage and now you get to see the true colors.
The meat section in Mekong is like going to another country. People from many many nationalities come out here. You will see men hunched over crabs poking the crabs belly to test the fleshiness. And all sorts of sea animals swimming in tiny glass box cages ready to be sold. You can learn the anatomy of these animal by hovering around. And have a casual conversation with the butcher about change in the quality of lobsters due to global warming. I had three parts written down in my grocery list : oxtail, knuckle bone, steak. I stood next to the oxtails and stare, unable to decide how much or how many i want. The butcher comes by and yells, "how much?". "One", i reply. "One tail". "Full tail?", he askes pointing to a tail hanging at the back of the butcher shop. "One pound", i say, since it feels like the smarter thing to say at the moment. He smiles. "What are you making?", he askes. "Pho". "Cheaper bones are over there", he says. We have a little chat in broken english. Finally, i warm up to the surroundings. And the place no longer intimidates me. Occasionally, I check on Harsha to see if he is still around. I pick up a few more 'bits and bobs', literally. I am all set to cook.
Some real good explanation on how to make pho can be found at: Meat Loves Salt (They are a vietnamese and it is a family recipe. They elaborate on the variations one could make and the results hence forth) & Steamy Kitchen ( I trust her recipes. And kudos to her for following up with the comments and making variations to her recipe and giving detailed explanations. All the signs of a recipe maker to be trusted.)
Some interesting facts about Pho:
0. Its a street side breakfast item in Vietnam. These vendors open their 'stores' at 7am and its not uncommon to sell out by 11am.
1. The Vietnamese judge the Pho by the flavor of the broth. When locals discuss good pho places, they only talk about the broth. Rest of the add ons like noodles, meat, mint, sprouts, etc are fresh ingredients that are available at all the places and hence are not the distinguishing factors.
2. Pho is referred to as 'labor of love' since the broth requires extremely long time to simmer. And Pho refers to the noodle and not soup.
3. If you are eaten Pho is a traditional setting or in the US, there is a good chance it is laden with MSG. I know its the 'no no' ingredient, but street food vendors and restauranteurs who are not chefs use it as a short cut to make tastier broth.
4. The legend has it that its the French influence that brought this varient to the Vietnam in the 1900s. Some experts say its derived from the French word 'Pot au Feu' which means 'Pot on fire'. Also, the charring of the onion and ginger, are French techniques for making soups.

We have recently reported the development of an ultrasound-assisted gene transfer (UAGT) method in the salivary gland. This technique enables transient, non-invasive, non-viral gene transfer to the salivary gland using off the shelf FDA-approved microbubbles and clinical ultrasonography equipment. We submit that this technology may prove enabling for applications in gene therapy for Xerostomia given the limitations of viral vector systems, which include sialoadenitis and consequent hyposalivation. Considering the substantial prior work that has been performed in miniature swine as a close-to- man model of salivary gland function, our first aim will be to upscale our UAGT technique in miniature swine and index resultant gene expression to viral vectors. The overall goal of this first aim will be to show equivalence to viral vectors, thereby providing a rationale for their replacement. We will also test in our system an advanced-generation (minicircle) plasmid with the putative capability of longer-lasting gene expression following non-viral gene transfer. Our next step will be to undertake a restorative gene therapy treatment in our swine subjects utilizing Aquaporin-1 (AQP1), the therapeutic transgene that has shown salivary restorative promise in an ongoing human gene therapy clinical trial. UAGT and viral methods will be utilized in parallel, with primary experimental metrics being functional, namely salivary flow. Animals will be irradiated according to previously published methodologies. AQP1 treatment with viral vectors (Adenovirus and Adeno- associated virus) will be undertaken as previously described and will serve as an index by which to measure the efficacy of our UAGT-based AQP1 gene therapy. In contrast to earlier studies, we will endeavor retreatment when salivary flow declines to <20% of that in the contralateral (control) gland, with our goal being maintenance of functional improvement for 12 months. We will thereby test our hypothesis that UAGT will enable chronic maintenance of restorative gene therapy through retreatment, whereas viral vectors will not. In our final aim, we will explore an important but heretofore unaddressed issue, that of the proteomic quality of saliva produced by AQP1 gene therapy. To do this, we will undertake full- proteome profiling of the saliva produced in our animal subjects with AQP1 gene therapy, compared with saliva from non-irradiated swine and irradiated swine wherein partial sparing of the salivary gland has occurred. Scans will be performed using 2-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis, supplemented by multi- dimensional chromatography and mass spectrometry methods.
This application will implement a gene therapy strategy for radiation-induced xerostomia, or dry mouth, a nearly inevitable consequence of head and neck radiation affecting thousands of cancer survivors. The first human clinical trial involving salivar gland gene therapy is now underway, utilizing an Adenoviral vector expressing the water channel Aquaporin-1 as a means of increasing salivary flow. Our application is designed to improve upon this strategy by utilizing a novel ultrasound-assisted gene transfer method to deliver the Aquaporin-1 gene drug, thereby obviating the toxicity of viral vectors.

our CREATIVE PROCESS
The Ward Theatre Company was established in New York City as the performance arm of the Ward Acting Studio. It is populated almost exclusively with actors who have trained in the Meisner Approach with Wendy Ward and has included actors from The Netherlands, Israel, Germany, Macedonia, Austria and Australia.
The Company's work has been described as "movies on stage," in reference to the intimacy of its performance space and the authenticity in the ensemble's acting. Ms. Ward has established theater venues for her work in New York, Philadelphia, Melbourne, Australia, and all of them have been designed to provide front-row seating only.
Because most of her actors will ultimately pursue on-camera careers, this type of setting teaches her cast members to work with great "public solitude," in front of an audience just feet away – an important skill to have on film sets where the camera and crew can be very close.
It also provides audiences with a very different theatrical experience -- one that may initially take patrons by surprise but is almost always applauded for its unconventionality. (Sometimes, of course, it's simply not someone's cup of tea, which the Company quite willingly acknowledges.)
Original Work
About half of the work that the Company produces is original work created by Ms. Ward and her ensemble. Projects may be originated based on a particular theme, place or group of people. Once the theme has been decided, Ms. Ward brings together her actors, and together they begin researching and poring over primary source materials, photos, poetry, drama, music – anything that might provide an aspect of the theme worth developing.
In the case of Revival, the locale was established first, and then the ensemble immediately designed and assembled the tent within the performance space. This was followed by a period of trial and error where the actors improvised and shared rehearsalassignments using various pieces of the found material. Perhaps most importantly, each actor began determining for him or herself what secret heartaches each might be bringing to this place of worship.
In this manner, our theater pieces begin to build themselves with actors participating in all aspects of the design and production processes including costumes, set, music and choreography. Part of the mission, then, is to develop creative artists not just train actors. It's important for actors to learn how to audition for and then perform a specific role, but with our original pieces, we provide the actors far more ownership over the production. In doing this, our ensemble members become more well-rounded theater professionals.
The Meaning of "Collage"
Sometimes an original piece that the Company creates will be structured in a traditional two-act format, and sometimes we like to bring things together in a manner that we call "a collage."
In Revival, we've built a show from bits and pieces using different styles of music, text and song. There are a couple of reasons why we did this. First, although the ensemble considered snake handling and speaking in tongues, it ultimately nixed the idea in favor of sudden bursts of music and dance which might provide a similar type of spontaneous fervor.
We then thought it would be interesting to break out from traditional gospel music and hymns. In a political climate where conversations seem to pit rural America against the inner cities, the Company hoped to make a subtle statement regarding shared perspectives. The lyrics from the Urban Sophisticates, for example, clearly express the individual struggles of our rural characters -- and their relationship to their God and their faith – but do so in a way that all people can relate to.
"When I feel so low,
I can't take no more,
Come and lift me up,
come lift me higher."
When I lose my way,
I can't face the day,
Come and lift me up,
Come lift me higher."
– The Urban Sophisticates
Frequently the Company is asked why its lobby, curtain calls and programs are so non-traditional. The first answer would be that we carry the creative spirit of the project throughout our space and honor the collective nature of our ensemble. Rather than fill our lobby with photos from past shows or with headshots of the cast members, we focus our audiences' attention on the culture of the production.
And too, we prefer to emphasize the ensemble's work as opposed to singling out individual actors. Because our original shows are usually so very ensemble-oriented, our curtain calls are rarely staged with a hierarchical structure, as we do not see our shows as having lead roles.
We welcome your questions and encourage you to attend our Q&A sessions on Sundays or reach out to us directly at email@example.com.

Here is my take:
2. 3 pics of different sizes - Natalie King
3. Use a die cut paper - Avina Lim
Here is my take:
Another layout of baby Keira, I just cant get enough of her she is so adorable :)
I loved the criteria for this challenge, I knew straight away what photos I wanted to use and even the die cut paper. My photos are all different sizes and instead of using one tree (like Anne) I have a small forest....... lol As the die cut paper was not very large I have kept the layout simple and not too busy!
My stint at 'Out of the Hat' is nearly over, I will miss the other ladies on the team, Anne, Christine, Taryn and Debbie, we've had a lot of fun. Proudly we were the first Mad Hatters chosen so I will always remember that :) Thanks to Amanda for my first ever DT position, its made me think out of the square and to meet deadlines!! I will miss you all, the good thing is I will be back next month to play along with the next lot of criteria!
Cheers for now

Well Company, it is Saturday, and as an 8-4 kind of office slug, I am graciously allowed to have Saturday and Sunday off. The thing about it, about Saturday and Sunday, or Tuesday and Friday, or Monday and Tuesday, or whatever your days off are, is that they never really become days off. They just sort of become two days of the week on which you get to do a different kind of work.
For instance, I am working today, getting things put away and all set up for the upcoming winter season. And you are probably working today too, cleaning or mowing the lawn or doing whatever you do. Even if you are on vacation, or travelling out of town, you are still doing work of some sorts, because you know that whenever you come back from vacation you are always more tired than you were before you left. And that is because you are doing the work of travelling - making plans, driving around, hauling luggage, spending obscene amounts of money.
So what is the point of your days off if you are just doing other, unpaid work? Why bother? Why not just work eight hours a day, seven days a week, and get a bunch of overtime. Probably number one your employer won't go for that, and number two that would suck bad too. So maybe it is the variety in the work that makes the days off worthwhile. Maybe putting up plastic insulation on my windows is a nice change from answering phones, and that is why I bother. Maybe putting the Miles Standish, my beloved kayak, up into dry dock for the winter beats typing hours worth of monotonous government meeting minutes. I don't know.
But that's about all that I can figure out. It's just a change in the chores from workday to weekend. And if that is how it is it is fine with me. I am happy to do my lists of chores with the TV screaming in the background. It beats answering phones anyway, doesn't it?

By Greg Grisolano, staff writer
Two cargo thefts in Florida and Georgia earlier this year may have given law enforcement a window into the evolving methods some thieves are using to help perpetrate the stealing of tractor-trailers and their valuable cargos.
In a July 29 report, FreightWatch International, which specializes in tracking supply chain information and cargo thefts around the globe, cited two unsuccessful thefts: one on June 26 in Brevard County, Fla., and one on July 22 in Bartow County, Ga. The thieves were either apprehended or forced to abandon the boosted vehicles, leaving behind jamming equipment.
The July 22 incident involved the recovery of a trailer loaded with more than $2 million in pharmaceutical narcotics. The theft was thwarted in under an hour, in part because the stolen trailer had a hidden GPS tracking device in it. While the suspects weren't apprehended, police did find a jammer device with the stolen rig.
The CEO of the company that installed the GPS device in the pharmaceutical load said the availability of jammers for sale in countries outside the U.S., and via the internet, "permits almost anyone to obtain the technology very easily."
"With industry's increasing use of GPS tracking technology to protect their high value shipments, increasingly sophisticated and organized cargo theft gangs will undoubtedly increase their use of these devices," said Gary Bryant, CEO of Hiddentec USA Inc. and Global Tracking and Recovery Solutions.
Based in the United Kingdom, Hiddentec is a multinational enterprise with more than 20 years' experience manufacturing and deploying GPS transponder technology in more than 40 countries.
Chuck Forsaith, chairman of the Pharmaceutical Cargo Security Coalition, said the proliferation of jamming devices is something the logistics and cargo security industries should keep tabs on.
"Whether that's a clear indication of an escalation of that particular activity or not … it's definitely different than what we've seen in the past," Forsaith said. "But to label it a full-scale escalation would be difficult unless it happens, I think, a couple more times."
According to the Federal Communications Commission, federal law prohibits the operation, marketing or sale of any jamming equipment in the U.S. LL

Fordham Among Prospects At Georgia Game
DE Aldrick Fordham (6-4 237) of Timberland, who commited to USC back in July, took in the USC/UGA game at Williams-Brice Stadium on Saturday. Fordham was impressed with the defense. "They held Georgia to only 14 points. They've got to be good to do that."
Fordham plans to make his way back to Columbia for the Wofford game this weekend. Fordham came down to Tennessee and USC before committing to the Gamecocks and says he is firm. He has not set a date for his official visit to USC but did say it would be the only one he takes.
Fordham's high school team, Timberland, is 4-0 on the season and he already has ten sacks, several tackles for loss, and two forced fumbles.

Ted Hill MBE, CEO of national charity The British Polio Fellowship has passed on his condolences and those of the charity to both the city of Birmingham and Alan Clements, the husband of Polio heroine Dawn who has sadly passed away. Dawn was recognised as a heroine in the battle to beat Polio in the UK.
Take up of the Polio vaccine in 1950s Britain had been slow so when Dawn's husband, the England footballer Jeff Hall died from Polio in 1959, Dawn embarked on making records and giving television appearances (much like Elvis Presley did in the US) encouraging people to be vaccinated. The story of a brave young woman made a widow by Polio galvanised the nation to seek immunisation. The British Polio Fellowship used its 75th anniversary in 2014 to present Dawn with its most prestigious honour, the Barbara Wood Award. As the first time the award has ever been presented to a non-member, the hope was this would stimulate the campaign in the local press (and with local MP Harriet Baldwin) to see Dawn's efforts recognised. While there is joy for the campaigners that this has now happened, it has sadly come too late.
"We knew that Dawn has been ill for some time, but it was devastating to hear of her passing," said CEO of The British Polio Fellowship Ted Hill, MBE. "I have passed my condolences and those of The British Polio Fellowship onto her husband Alan who has been Dawn's staunchest supporter and to the people of Birmingham who have never forgotten Jeff and Dawn. Her passing marks the end of an era but the impetus her story has given the new fight against PPS means her death and death have not been in vain and remain an example to us all."
Dawn's work throughout the years has acted as a catalyst for people to sit up and take notice of PPS, a condition affecting 120,000 people in the UK. PPS is the forgotten footnote of Polio, characterised by progressive new muscle weakness and can include problems with swallowing and breathing. Many with PPS are suffering in silence and recent YouGov research revealed only 55 per cent of GPs were able to diagnose PPS and only seven per cent of people in the UK have heard of the condition.
"It can be difficult to imagine now a time in the UK when Polio was killing and paralysing thousands like Jeff," added Ted. "Dawn worked to see that no one else had to go through what she did and latterly heled us with our PPS work. There are many people alive and well today who owe her a huge debt of gratitude. There are 120,000 people in this country who know what it is like to be forgotten and that we couldn't afford to forget her. The rest of us are the lucky ones who, thanks to Dawn, have never had to face the fear of Polio or a life with PPS."
"I would like to thank the support of the people of Birmingham and groups like The British Polio Fellowship for assisting Dawn in all of her remarkable work," said Dawn's husband Alan Clements. "Throughout the years we have been overwhelmed by the local support, from the Mail and City fans who have never forgotten Jeff and Dawn. What she did 50 years ago during the worst time of her life still matters to people. Dawn would want me to thank the fans of Birmingham City and all those for all of their help and support."
Dawn's funeral is due to take place on Thursday 16 June in Birmingham. More details will be released by the family in due course.
The British Polio Fellowship provides support and information for its members along with others in the UK who live with the late effects of Polio and PPS.

Working Out With Victoria's Secret Model Cindy Bruna: The 5-Step Guide to Flat Abs
On the fifth floor of a Neo-Gothic tower in New York, where large picture windows and free-weight stations overlook the city's Nomad neighborhood, Cindy Bruna is bouncing eagerly from toe to toe. The 21-year-old French model has just arrived at trainer David Kirsch's Madison Square Club for one last workout before the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, and is busy warming up her toned midsection for the supercharged hour ahead.
It's those famous abs and her blinding smile that have earned Bruna a spot on the VS runway for the third year running. "Usually, I train a few times a week—but I've been training every day for one to two hours," she says of the intensive last-minute lead-up to the big event. Gesturing to the medicine and stability balls lying around her, the Paris-based model explains that the circuit training she does regularly at Le Klay in the city's Second Arrondissement is similar to Kirsch's protocol, though a bit less intense.
"When training any of the Victoria's Secret girls, it's key to focus on the parts that need fine-tuning or sculpting," explains Kirsch, who has worked with former Angels Heidi Klum and Karolina Kurkova, among others. "You've got perfection there, so how do you make it that much better?" The answer? A straightforward yet challenging series that targets the lower abs and obliques to create a rock-solid, VS-worthy core. And best of all, with a set of basic gym equipment—medicine and stability balls, gliding discs, a mat—these moves are easily repeated at home. "My body's already better!" Bruna says with a laugh of the five-move regimen created by Kirsch and captured in this series of ultimate ab-sculpting GIFs. Need we say more?
Glider Scissors to Pikes
Take a plank position, making sure your hands are directly beneath your shoulders, then place each foot on a gliding disc. Slide your legs out horizontally and back in using controlled movements, then push your hips high into a pike position before slowly returning to the starting position. Keep your feet flexed, back straight, and abs activated. Perform 15 reps.
Medicine Ball Jackknife Sit-Ups
Lie on your back with your arms stretched overhead. Hold a 4-pound medicine ball in your hands and place your legs on either side of a stability ball. Raise your arms and legs into a jackknife shape in unison, reaching from your shoulders and holding at the top for a moment. Return to the starting position, allowing your arms and legs to hover just above the floor without actually touching it before repeating the movement. Keep your eyes up and neck relaxed at all times. Perform 15 reps without resting.
Stability Ball Knee Tucks
Begin by kneeling in front of the ball, then balance your legs on top before walking your hands forward until you reach a plank position. Pull your knees forward toward your midsection and slightly to the left in an oblique crunch, then return to a plank. Repeat the movement to your right side, then raise your hips straight up into a pike position. Repeat the sequence for 15 reps.
Stability Ball Plank Rotations
Place a stability ball on the floor in front of you. Take the plank position with your forearms anchored firmly on the ball, then move your arms counterclockwise for 15 reps, using your abs for control and support. Perform the movement clockwise for an additional 15 reps.
Side Plank Oblique Crunches
Place your right forearm on the ground and take a side plank position with your left arm held behind your head. Begin by twisting at the waist, aiming your left elbow toward the floor and tucking it beneath your body in an oblique crunch, then return to your starting position. Keep your body straight, feet flexed, and hips high throughout. Perform 15 reps, then switch sides and repeat.

28. Auto-completion does not work properly
Problem: Auto-completion for a suggested word of N characters inserts the first character N times, rather than the full word
Status: Confirmed
Fix: None yet
Forum links:
27. VM crashes with exception after dragging pointer over to the SIP button
Problem: If you drag the pointer towards and over the SIP button with the latter on top of an AWT frame, the VM crashes with an
exception 0xc0000005 (STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION).
Status: Confirmed
Fix: None yet
Forum links:
26. DateEditor and StringItem button widgets don't work properly [WORKAROUND]
Problem: Using the stylus to press a StringItem button does not call the default command when set. You need to use
the keypad to do this. A similar problem occurs when selecting a date with the date editor widget. This might have to do with adding
drag support in svn rev 17582 and 17670.
Status: Confirmed
Fix: Disable dragging support as it does not work well for capacitive touch screen devices without stylus anyway.
Forum links:
- None
25. Fatal crash on phoneME Feature [FIXED]
Problem: The VM crashes when you touch the bottom of the menu above the right soft key.
Status: Confirmed
Fix: Fixed the index out of bounds exception by first checking the range of the index in the menu commands array.
Forum links:
24. Russian symbols support
Problem: Some fonts and cyrillic symbols are not displayed correctly. This is because fonts are built into the VM and
only a fixed subset is included, not all unicode characters.
Some fonts and cyrillic symbols are indeed displayed correctly. This is because fonts are built into the VM and only a limited subset is included (e.g. the first 127 ASCII characters).
Status: Confirmed
Fix: None yet
Forum links:
23. Virtual keyboard issues
Problem: Some people want to have the virtual keyboard pop up as soon as you enter a text field.
This may be tricky as we need to check whether the device has a real keyboard or not
Status: Confirmed
Fix: None yet
Forum links:
22. AWT Menu with many entries does not work properly
Problem: An AWT Menu in Personal Profile with lots of entries does not behave as it should. For some reason, the
11th MenuItem calls a native Windows Mobile application. Perhaps the window message is mapped on the unique identifier
of a native application
Status: Confirmed
Fix: None yet
Forum links:
21. Get IMEI number of windows mobile by using System.getproperty(); [FIXED]
Problem: This is feature request to get the IMEI number. Not sure yet which WinCE APIs one can use to get this number
Status: Confirmed
Fix: You can get the IMEI number by calling System.getproperty("IMEI");

20. Recordstore corruption in dual stack
Problem: The RMS recordstores to store data appear to suffer from corruption
Status: Unconfirmed

19. MIDlet-Data-Size not working
Problem: Changing the JAD property MIDlet-Data-Size to avoid RecordStoreFullException does not work
Status: Unconfirmed
Fix: None yet
Forum links:
18. Updating a midlet fails
Problem: Updating a midlet seams to fails. Perhaps there is something odd with the urls to the jad/jar midlet files?
Status: Unconfirmed
Fix: None yet
Forum links:
17. Certificate issue when installing OTA
Problem: Installing a signed midlet OTA fails because we do not have the required permissions.
Status: Unconfirmed
Fix: None yet
Forum links:
16. Random JIT crashes on Windows Mobile 6.1 [FIXED]
Problem: The phoneME Advanced builds sometimes crash on a Windows Mobile 6.1 device. The problem does not occur when JIT is disabled
Status: Confirmed
Fix: Disable code cache to reside in read/write/execute segment of the executable
Forum links:
15. Error triggers Microsoft feedback notice [WONT FIX]
Problem: Some unknown error with phoneME Advanced seems to trigger a popup on a Windows Mobile 6.1 device that asks you to send feedback about the problem back to Microsoft. It is currently unclear when and why this occurs, and why the problem cannot be reproduced on an emulator
Status: Confirmed
Fix: This popup appears a.o. after a segmentation fault or other errors (e.g. accessing fields of a null object). The correct solution is to fix the original programming mistake that causes the fault. We wont fix the bug by hiding the popup.
Forum links:
- None
14. phoneME Advanced - Personal Profile: Menus [FIXED]
Problem:There were some issues with the AWT menus of pMEA Personal Profile on Windows Mobile 2005 and higher. On these devices a dummy menu was shown that should have been replaced with the one of the application. The problem occured even when running binaries for Pocket PC 2003.
Status: Confirmed, and fixed (except for pure WinCE devices)
Fix: The cause of this problem were several Window messages to replace a submenu that no longer work on WM5 and higher. A workaround was implemented but the visual result is slightly different.
The screenshots below show the DemoFrame test application. This application defines a menu bar that adds a menu with the caption "Menu". This menu contains the "Graphics", "Font", "Event", etc menu items. On WM5 and higher, you will notice an extra menu "Application" that holds the original AWT menu.
On Windows Mobile 2003
On Windows Mobile 5
Forum links:
- None
13. UnsatisfiedLinkError with JNI
Problem: From development build b92 on, the pMEA builds are having problems with loading libraries through JNI. This problem seems to be related to the fact that some classes have been moved from btclasses.zip to personal.jar. It appears to be a general problem that occurs on all platforms as for linux builds some of the classes have been moved as well.
Status: Confirmed
Fix: None
Forum links:
12. Stroke width ignored in Graphics2D.drawPolygon()
Problem: The stroke width is ignored in the Graphics2D.drawPolygon() drawing method. This is illustrated by the video in the forum at the first link. It is currently not clear whether this is a WinCE only problem that needs to be solved in the native backend of the AWT peers, or a
more general problem that occurs on all platforms.
Status: Unconfirmed
Fix: None
Forum links:
11. Setting the focus to a Frame [FIXED]
Problem: AWT applications with multiple Frames may want to shift the focus programmatically from one frame to another. The two most appropriate methods to do this are requestFocus() and toFront(). However, these methods do not seem to work correctly, or behave differently compared to other Java VMs. For some, toFront() and requestFocus() do the same. Some do and others do not assign focus when calling Frame.toFront(). For Frame.requestFocus(), some do and others do not bring the window to the front when assigning the focus.
Status: Confirmed, and fixed.
Fix: The method Frame.toFront() is able to get a Frame to the front and assign it the focus. The Frame.requestFocus() previously did not have any effect, but now has the same implementation as the Frame.toFront() method.
Forum links:
- None
10. Frame and Dialog decorations [FIXED]
Problem: AWT applications have two title bars: one in the window decoration, and another in the system task bar. For both java.awt.Frame and java.awt.Dialog: the setUndecorated(boolean) method should be used to enable/disable this decoration. When decoration is disabled, a user cannot drag the frame or dialog to another position.
Status: Confirmed, and fixed.
Fix: The window decoration of a Frame is disabled by default, and for a Dialog enabled by default. You can change the decoration by calling setUndecorated() in the constructor in the window.
Forum links:
9. Some available serial ports are not listed [WORKAROUND]
Problem: You cannot connect to a com port that is known to exist (say COM5:). System.getProperty("microedition.commports") tells us that only port COM0 is available. The cause of this problem is the following line in cdc/src/win32/javavm/runtime/java_props_md.c: sprops->commports = "com0";
Status: Confirmed, but only a workaround
Fix: Use a WinCE implementation of RXTX to access the serial ports..

8. Options not visible in awt.Choice widget [WORKAROUND]
Problem: The entries are not visible in the drop down part of the Choice widget. This could be a font size or a widget resizing issue. Most likely, the problem occurs with devices other than a 96 DPI display. In that case, all widget sizes and positions may need to be scaled.
Status: Confirmed, fix does not work on WM2003
Fix: Reimplement AwtChoice::GetDropDownHeight() to take into account the DPI of the screen.

7. GameCanvas not working in Dual Stack build [FIXED]
Problem: There is repainting issue for midlets using the GameCanvas on top of a dual stack build of pMEA. The problem does not occur on phoneME Feature and repainting with a regular Canvas seems to work fine too. GameCanvas works for the demo application of MicroEmulator, but it fails for the test example on the forum. Game elements jump around instead of scrolling smoothly. It appears old buffers are being blitted to the screen.
Status: Confirmed, and fixed
Fix: Don't use DirectDraw blitting code
Forum links:
6. Fullscreen/maximized AWT Frames [FIXED]
Problem: Some people want to run applications in full screen and hide the top task bar as well as the bottom bar with the software input panel (SIP). Also, application windows do not use the whole screen area by default.
Status: Confirmed, but no real fix
Fix: We override in the VM the size and position of a window so that it matches the working area of the screen. Note that it breaks window resizing calls (e.g. setBounds()) within the application. We do not hide the top taskbar and the bottom SIP bar, because devices without a physical keyboard may not be able to use the virtual keyboard. Moreover, you cannot close an weirdly behaving application either if the top bar is hidden.

5. Transparent PNG images [WORKAROUND]
Problem: The png image loaders does not process the alpha channel of png properly. The native Windows Mobile routines appear to only support 1-bit alpha blending (verified with a transparent png on IE/Windows Mobile).
Status: Confirmed, but only a workaround
Fix: Only a workaround, by doing the alpha blending in the application itself. Windows Mobile 5 provides the AlphaBlend method call, but it appears that not all devices support it. We can implement our own blending algorithm, but there is a serious performance penalty if we have to do that purely in software (without hardware acceleration support).
Forum links:
4. Exception c0000005 (STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION) [WORKAROUND]
Problem: This exception has been reported on Windows Mobile 5 and 6, but also on a Windows CE 5 emulator. The exception can be reproduced by using the virtual keyboard to fill in a text field. AwtToolkit::PreProcessMsg(msg) in PPCToolkit.cpp seems to be the culprit.
Status: Confirmed, but only a workaround
Fix: Disable preprocessing by the target component (p->PreProcessMsg(msg)).
Forum links:
3. Granularity System.currentTimeMillis() [FIXED]
Problem: The granularity of the current time is in seconds and not in msec. This is a software/hardware limitiation of the OS and also due to the workaround for the bug reported in "1. Accuracy current time".
Status: Confirmed, and fixed
Fix: Use a combination of the hardware clock and tick counter. We use the old approach of getting msec granularity by computing the current time in milliseconds using a base time (vm startup time) and an offset (tick counter). If the value based on the tick counter differs more than a second from the current hardware clock, then the device quite likely went in suspend mode for a while. In that case, we recompute the base time so that the tick counter offset returns the correct time again.

2. awt.Frame setMenuBar does not work [FIXED]
Problem: The menu bar does not work properly on Windows Mobile 5 and higher. The application shows a dummy menu. Apparently, the menu handling code that works fine on Windows Mobile 2003 no longer works on WM5.
Status: Confirmed, and fixed
Fix: The VM now checks on which WinCE version it runs and uses different menu handling code when running on WM5 or higher.
Forum links:
- http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=44601
- http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=44629
1. Accuracy current time [FIXED]
Problem: The current time is not accurate when a device resumes from suspend mode while an application is still running. The current time is based on the hardware clock value when the VM started and a WinCE tick counter used as an offset to compute the current time in msec. The accuracy problem is caused by the fact that the tick counter continues with the value where it left off before suspending. This means that the current time is not computed correctly as it does not take into account the time passed while in suspend mode.
Status: Confirmed, and fixed
Fix: Never use the tick counter, but use the hardware clock to get the current time instead

Ketu Malas
Malas, or prayer beads, have been used since ancient times as an aid in meditation and spiritual practices. Each mala has 108 beads, a sacred number that reflects both Solar and Lunar energy.
Our malas for Ketu are hand knotted with a counter bead every 12th bead and a guru bead with tassel. Our Ketu malas are made with tigereye, a stone that displays a chatoyancy similar to cats eye.
Malas for Ketu heighten insight, perception and intuition. Spiritually, Ketu strengthens the desire for enlightenment and its gemstone is an aid to meditation and introspection.

Hi all. I would like to use tidy to clean my html, but I have my source html split in fragments without the <body> </body> tags. Each fragment is syntactically consistent. This is because I use wml to generate my final html pages. It is possible to use tidy in this case? In which way? If not, it will be fine to add the option to ignore the missing html stuff outside <body> </body> tags inclusive. Thank in advance for any help.

To say that Naomi Campbell's hair has been through a lot is an understatement. Over the course of decades in the modeling industry, Campbell has worn every kind of extension, braid, wig and weave in existence (and has the unfortunate hair damage to show for it).
Now Naomi's latest tress change is going blonde. The 42-year-old supermodel was photographed by Tom Munro for the May 2013 cover of Vogue Brazil with stunningly light blonde hair, blown out into sleek, straight strands.
The new color, we think, looks pretty great (although it helps that Campbell clearly has a giant fan pointed right at her head). Even if it is a wig, as FashionGoneRogue reports, we hope it's one Naomi will keep on for a while.
Check out the new cover. Do you prefer Naomi brunette or blonde?
My, how Naomi has changed...
