This is my third post regarding possible bugs in S40 SDK 2 when compared with previous S40 SDKs & devices - see Unable to read Chinese resource file S40 SDK 2 and Buttons in LCD forms start on a new line in S40 SDK 2 for the others.
This time menu options go missing in S40 SDK 2.
I have the followingThe Back command is displayed (using the curly arrow in bottom RHS). Under the menu button (the three stacked horizontal bars) the following are listed: New <Entity> and Edit. The Delete option is NOT displayed (UNEXPECTED).Code:protected List initStandardList() { if (standardList == null) { standardList = newStandardList(); standardList.setCommandListener(new CommandListener() { public void commandAction(javax.microedition.lcdui.Command command, Displayable displayable) { if (command == commands.getSelect()) controller.displayViewForm(standardList.getSelectedIndex()); else if (command == commands.getDelete()) controller.displayChoiceList(); else if (command == commands.getBack()) controller.back(); else if (command == commands.getEdit()) controller.displayEditForm(standardList.getSelectedIndex()); else if (command == newEntityCmd) controller.displayEditor(false); } }); standardList.addCommand(commands.getBack()); if ((getCommandFlags()[EDIT_IDX] == true) && (getDomainController().isNewEntityAllowed())) standardList.addCommand(getNewEntityCommand()); } if (controller.getSize() > 0) { standardList.setSelectCommand(commands.getSelect()); if (getCommandFlags()[EDIT_IDX] == true) { standardList.addCommand(commands.getEdit()); standardList.addCommand(commands.getDelete()); standardList.addCommand(new javax.microedition.lcdui.Command("Dummy 1", javax.microedition.lcdui.Command.ITEM, 0)); standardList.addCommand(new javax.microedition.lcdui.Command("Dummy 2", javax.microedition.lcdui.Command.ITEM, 0)); } } else { ...
I added Dummy 1 & 2 to see if this was some sort of UI problem - i.e. if they would push the Delete option into view. They don't and furthermore they are not listed either (UNEXPECTED).
On S40 E6 all commands are displayed as expected - i.e. Back on RH soft key, Select on middle soft key, Options on LH soft key with Dummy 1, Dummy 2, Delete, New <entity> and Edit commands all listed.
How can you work-around such unexpected differences (bugs?) between S40 editions?
Is there a different implementation of the normal command soft keys - some sort of pop-up list, say - that works between editions?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Less than meets the eyeby Max B. (13) March 2013
The Duck and Waffle is really about the experience of taking the lift at street level and being swooshed to the 42nd floor at hyper speed. It's about seeing the dome of St. Paul raising before your eyes as you ascend and the dizziness of being at several hundred meters above the ground, looking out of the window and reminding yourself that this is still one of the most beautiful, energetic, exciting cities in the world. Unfortunately the restaurant is mostly about that and not much about the food. We were deluged with conceited, over stretched dishes. The signature (yes the duck served on a waffle) was distinctively un exciting. The textures don't go together, nor do the flavours. The pig ears (another signature dish) were rubbery and tasteless, we know food carts in East London who do a better job at that at a fraction of the price. The spicy ox check doughnut is so ill conceived that it beggars belief: no subtlety, it is a confusing, preposterous dish. The only high point was the charcuterie served on blocks of Himalayan salt. Full marks go to the service, the view and the atmosphere and to the fact that they are open 24hrs a day. However, go the for drinks, a chat and to enjoy the view but don't buy into the hype and for the food go somewhere else.

Group Activity Feeds
Just a note to say that an activity feed for each Group would be useful. Or a separate feed for new membership of a group and another for the group wire. It would allow people to keep up with group wire conversation without having to use the email function or keep checking the Group Wire page.
Surprised this wasn't already implemented or am I missing something?

PRESCOTT, Ariz. (AP) - An Arizona man set to stand trial for beating a
northern Arizona family with a shovel before stealing their pickup
truck and dogs may accept a plea agreement.
The Prescott Daily Courier reports that 40-year-old Eric Tuttle was offered a deal last week that would turn a potential 250-year sentence into 21 years or less.
According to investigators, Tuttle attacked in 2012 a Seligman family who had previously let him stay on their property.
The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office says Tuttle
assaulted a 54-year-old-woman, her 77-year-old dad and her 77-year-old
mom during a violent rampage.
Deputies say Tuttle then bound the trio with duct tape inside a travel trailer and stole the family's truck.
His attorney, Linda Moore, say she didn't have a decision on the plea deal.
Tuttle is scheduled to reappear in court Oct. 28.

Police council tax freeze for Wiltshire
Wiltshire and Swindon households will benefit from a freeze on the police element of council tax during the next financial year.
The proposal from Police and Crime Commissioner for Wiltshire and Swindon Angus Macpherson was formally confirmed by the Police and Crime Panel yesterday.
It means that the average Band D household in Wiltshire and Swindon will pay £157.77 for police services, as well as community safety services Mr Macpherson can commission.
The same amount as last year and the year before that.
– Police and Crime Commissioner Angus Macpherson
I am very pleased that residents will benefit from this cap on the policing part of the council tax, especially in the current economic climate.
"I am confident that we can keep the cost of policing down for households while maintaining effective frontline services."

Safety Tips for Shooting on Public Land-video
"No free man shall ever be de-barred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain their right to keep and bear arms is as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
- Thomas Jefferson, of Virginia, Proposed Virginia Constitution, 1776
"Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms."
Aristotle, Politics Ch 10 para 4.
Remember to Buy Your Guns and Ammo before Obama takes them away.
I wish I was Joking!
With a Democrat Congress and Barack Obama in the White House our 2nd Amendment rights will be curtailed. Imagine what type of Supreme Court Justices Obama will appoint. Obama already favors the infamously strict Cook County Gun Laws, which leave crimnals unchecked and honest citizens defenseless. We cannot offord Barack Obama and his anti-business liberal policies. Check out this article I wrote in April about the way Liberals think and act towards problems. I even used the words "Bail Out" to describe what Liberal thinkers look for when a problem does arise.

.416 Ruger
Want a .416 caliber cartridge you can afford to shoot? The new .416 Ruger rifle cartridge offers 4800 ft.-lbs. of energy at the muzzle via a 400-grain bullet traveling at 2,325 fps. Derived by Ruger and Hornady from the .375 Ruger cartridge the .416 Ruger offers big-bore performance at a price that means you don't have to make a trip to Africa just to justify the purchase. At less than $60 a box for ammo you could shoot until your shoulder begs for mercy. Ruger should have their M77 Alaskan and African available now for less than $1000 in either the .375 Ruger or .416 Ruger.
The SIG SAUER P250®
Sig Sauer's new P250® consist of a modular pistol with changeable grip sizes, calibers and even frame size. This allows shooters to choose from full-size, compact and sub-compact frames. The grip diameter is interchangeable, as well, allowing the shooter to completely customize the pistol to suit their preferences.
SigSauer offers options in cartridge size with 9mm, .357 SIG, .40 S&W, and, of course, .45 ACP.
Two trigger sizes offer further customization of the P250®. The secret lies in the interchangeable trigger assembly of the P250®, which can be taken out of one gun, or off of one frame, and put on another. This allows the shooter to go from one frame to the next without changing the feel of the trigger and allowing consistency between pistols for easier transitions and increased familiarity across different platforms.
New Products from Hornady Ammunition
Hornady's new "Critical Defense Ammunition eliminates clogging with the use of their patented Flex Tip® bullet. Upon entering soft tissue, the tip swells and imparts equal pressure across the entire circumference of the bullet cavity. The result is unrivaled bullet expansion and performance every single time!" Available in .380 Auto, .38 Special, .38 Special+P, and 9mm Luger.
Critical Defense™ 380 Auto
90-gr. FTX 9 mm
115-gr. FTX 38 SPL
110-gr. FTX 38 SPL + P
110-gr. FTX
.45 Colt LeveRevolution®
Hornady introduced thier .45 Colt LeveRevolution® bullets recently. Good news for owners of revolvers or rifles in .45 Colt. the cartridge offers reasonable performance for the old cartridge without risking damage to older Colt revolvers. Hornady loads their new version to SAAMI standards so shooters do not need to worry about damaging revolvers designed to shoot the original black powder versions of the cartridges. The muzzle velocity for the 225-grain FTX bullet is 960 fps. The bullet manages 824 fps at 100 yards with 10-inches of bullet drop.
Overall, the bullet offers a decent compromise of performance without the risk that comes with shooting over-pressurized cartridges out of relatively weaker older revolvers.
.338 Marlin Express
Now available in Hornady LeveRevolution®! The .338 Marlin Express is the first ever long-range, big game levergun specific cartridge to hit the market, and opens a new class of hunting to the levergun. The resulting cartridge delivers astounding ballistics; driving the very efficient 200-grain FTX bullet at an amazing 2,565 fps from a 24" Marlin XLR. The bullet has a B.C. of .430 and matches 180-grain .30-06 ballistics in terms of energy and trajectory out to 400 yards.
While we're talking about medium-bore lever-gun cartridges check out some of the older lever-action cartridges like the .35 Remington, .356 Winchester, and .375 Winchester.
Hornady FTX Component Bullets
Finally Hornady has released their Flex-Tip bullets in component form for reloaders. Hornady will make the flex-tip s available in .30 through .50 caliber bullets for specific applications. Good news for levergun shooters!

Ruger SR9
The Ruger SR9® is one of the slimmest 9mm pistols available. The SR9® is comfortable and controllable, and with a 17+1(The Libs can't like that!) capacity, it packs all the features required by today's most demanding shooters. A must for shooters and law enforcement officers looking for Ruger's legendary reliability, the SR9® is available in Brushed or Blackened Stainless finishes with Black grip frame, or in Blackened Stainless finish with OD Green grip frame. Available in 9x19mm and Ihave seen them at retailers for less than $400-that could be a good deal or a bad indicator. Get it before Obama amd Pelosi outlaw them!
Marlin XL7 and XL7C
Available in .25-06 Remington, .270 Winchester, and .30-06 Springfield the Marlin XL7 comes equipped from the Marlin Firearms factory with a 22-inch recessed-crowned barrel, adjustable Pro-Fire trigger and a pillar bedded reciever. Reviews for the rifle have been favorable while the less than $300 USD "street price" screams out bargain. A synthetic stock (available in Camo or black) and the ability to use any scope bases that fit on the readily available Winchester Model 70 make the Marlin XL7 a practical rifle as well. Hopefully, we will see increased options for cartridges. I would love to a .223 Remington short-action option.
Mossberg's 464 Lever-Action Rifle
Available in .30-30 Wincnester and sporting a 20" barrel and classic good looks, the Mossberg 464 is priced at a MSRP of $493USD. Mossberg also offers the 464 in a rimfire version with a price that Mossberg has yet to announce. you can vote for the next caliber offering by Mossberg in the 464-I voted for .44Rem Mag.
Remember Our Troops!
Soldiers are living and fighting over seas for our freedom. The war against terrorism and our enemies will never end. Thank God we have men land women over there fighting in the deserts and mountains of the middle east. I would love to give these guys the recognition they deserve, but at thier request they will remain annonymous.

The purpose of the information given in the news stories is not to persuade or argue a particlular point of view. I think that most visitors to this website understand where I stand on gun rights . I want to provide information to help visitors to this realize the manner in which guns are portrayed in the media. Perception is reality and the media tries hard to persuade the perception of guns in society today. The manner and consistency in which guns are spoken of and reffered to in the articles is clear. Almost all of the articles and stories have a negative spin. Almost all of the articles lean left in their origin and tone. The message the public recieves is clear and, all too often, one-sided.
The stories do much in adressing the use of guns in a negative light and little to examine the morality of those wielding the guns in the articles. Look for yourself and make you own conclusion. I welcome your gun news comments.

I recently ordered a couple of new guns from my local gun shop. It may be a while until they come in, from what I am told. I ordered a 3 inch Ruger SP101 in the new .327 Federal Magnum caliber and a Ruger Hawkeye African in the .375 Ruger caliber. The seller tells me that the SP 101 in that make up is just now trickling out of the factory and that distributers are having a hard time stocking them for retailers, so I may be waiting a while...click for more.

A- Black core with a finger of light tan head.
S- Smoke, roasted nuts and mocha notes.
T- High intensity with dark coffee bean and black plummy fruit.
M- Complex and different. Creamy at first, but highly carbonated which adds some freshness and keeps this in excellent balance.
O- An excellent Imperial Stout. Big and full, but not a sign of flab or excess sweetness.

Poured into a snifter a deep deep dark chocolate brown with a thin deep beige head atop.Dark fruit dipped inalcohol,bitter chocolate,and faint wood smoke in the nose,the alcohol is big and sweet.The alcohol is a bit more restrained on the palate with dark fruit and chocolate being the main flavoring,again faint smokiness in the finish.After awhile it gets a little sticky but it's a solid imperial stout.

Best by 2015 on the label.
In a snifter the beer was a black color with a brownish tan head. There was a little bit of lacing.
Strong roasted malt aroma, almost burned. Sweet chocolate.
What I thought was sweet chocolate in the aroma turned out to be more of a bittersweet chocolate taste. Lots of espresso coffee, again almost burned (but not in a bad way).
Medium-bodied, alcohol not noticeable.
I liked both the Yin and the Yang. Will have to try the Black and Tan.

Poured dark brown from bottle into tulip glass.
Nice aroma with coffee and chocolate notes. Mildly smooth taste firm but not overpowering. Taste lingers nicely on the palate making for a very good sipping beer.
A good Imperial Stout worth seeking out.

2.83/5 rDev -28.4%
12 oz bottle. Pours dark brown with a medium creamy brown head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is a little subdued - roasted chocolate malts and some black licorice and a little smoke.
The flavor is some sweetness up front with heavily roasted chocolate malts and some dark fruit and black licorice. There's lots of charred bitterness in the aftertaste. The mouthfeel is medium to full bodied, but a bit watery.
Overall, it's got too much charred bitter roast.

A really good, really simple, true imperial stout. Enjoyed at Tørst in NY from a tap into a wine glass.
A - Near-black, but it was a dimly-lit bar. A finger of unbroken tan-colored head. Decent lacing
S - Minerals/dirt, and that wake-up-to-fresh-pot-of-coffee smell. Hint of molasses and dark, ripe fruit. That typical stout/porter smell. Almost no creamy or vanilla smell to it.
T - REALLLY black coffee. Almost makes your face curl with the strong coffee taste. It settles nicely into a smooth baker's chocolate/cacao. Lacks any smooth vanilla or milk chocolate - almost 0 sweetness.
M - Stung a little at first, but finished nicely toward the back of the mouth. Leaves a slight coat.
O - This is a great benchmark stout. A truly simple, imperial, strong stout. No fancy flavoring, just a damn tasty beer that is just beer.

Nearly black in color with a small light brown head that leaves dots and irregular lines of lacing down the glass. Pretty and appropriate.
The aroma is a big combination of roasted malt, espresso, mild chocolate, and a hint of booze.
The flavor follows the aroma similarly, with big notes of roasted malt and espresso leading the way along with a tiny bit of smoke and char.
Medium to full mouthfeel with moderate carbonation.
A nice, roasty, flavorful imperial stout, though there are certainly better and less expensive options available from closer to home.

Poured into snifter; jet black with a moderate brown head that fades quickly into an appreciable ring of foam that leaves lovely lacing.
Smell is metallic roasted malt, coffee, dark bitter chocolate, and some sweeter softer scents of caramelized sugar, toffee and milk chocolate. No booze in the nose at all.
Taste is dark roasted malt with lots of coffee and baking chocolate flavor, followed by some passing hints of milk chocolate and dark fruit before it disappears with a slight puff of alcohol warmth.
Mouthfeel does seem a bit thin for an imperial stout, especially one that is 10%.
Overall though, it's a great imperial stout. Not super-complex but very drinkable and tasty.

News and notes from UCLA football as the Bruins continue to prepare for their bowl game.
The video above of Interim Coach Mike Johnson's comments after practice today is a must watch. Coach Johnson in an extremely classy and professional manner talked about his future at UCLA. He talked about his expectations of not returning next season. He can see the "writing on the wall" and the reality about not being part of the new staff. Regardless he is being professional about all of this. He is doing his job and getting our team ready for the Bowl game. Huge kudos to him in the way he is handling all this. GO BRUINS.

ON THIS PAGE: You will find out more about steps to take to help cope with physical, social, and emotional side effects. This page includes several links outside of this guide to other sections of this website. To see other pages, use the menu on the side of your screen.
Cancer and its treatment can cause a variety of side effects. However, doctors have made major strides in recent years in reducing pain, nausea and vomiting, infection, fatigue, and other physical side effects of cancer treatments. Many treatments used today are less intensive but as effective as treatments used in the past. Doctors also have many ways to provide relief to patients when such side effects do occur.
Fear of treatment side effects is common after a diagnosis of cancer, but it may be helpful to know that preventing and controlling side effects is a major focus of your health-care team. Before treatment begins, talk with your doctor about possible side effects of the specific treatments you will be receiving. The specific side effects that can occur depend on a variety of factors, including the type of cancer, its location, the individual treatment plan (including the length and dosage of treatment), and the person's overall health.
Ask your doctor which side effects are most likely to happen (and which are not), which need to be reported right away, when side effects are likely to occur, and how they will be addressed by the health care team if they do happen. Also, be sure to communicate with the doctor and nurses about side effects you experience during and after treatment. Learn more about the most common side effects of cancer and different treatments, along with ways to prevent or control them
In addition to physical side effects, you may experience psychosocial (emotional and social) effects and sexual health concerns. Learn more about the importance of addressing such needs, including concerns about managing the cost of your cancer care.
For more information on late effects or long-term side effects, please read the After Treatment section or talk with your doctor.
The next section helps explain medical tests and check-ups needed after finishing cancer treatment. Use the menu on the side of your screen to select After Treatment, or you can select another section, to continue reading this guide.

Each Wednesday, we'll highlight a Browns player, coach, executive, personnel group or other area of the team that is most under scrutiny. This week, we take a closer look at the Browns' passing game.
Browns president Mike Holmgren made it quite clear Tuesday that he would like Cleveland's wide receivers, especially those lining up outside, to see more passes thrown their way. He said the group was better than the numbers suggested. However, he also suggested the group's collective poor statistics invited closer scrutiny of the wideouts.
Second-year pros Mohamed Massaquoi and Brian Robiskie are listed as the starting wideouts, and they have primarily lined up outside. Both have missed time with injuries this season, but each has started at least four games. And, entering Week Nine neither has caught even 10 passes this season. Massaquoi has caught nine passes for 115 yards and a touchdown, while Robiskie has hauled in eight catches for 61 yards. (Joshua Cribbs, who also plays frequently at wideout, has caught 14-185-1.)
As Holmgren noted Tuesday, offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's scheme works the middle of the field more than the edges. And it is generally a conservative passing game, too. The Browns' three leading receivers are a tight end (Benjamin Watson), a running back (Peyton Hillis) and a receiver best in the slot (Chansi Stuckey).
That said, the clock is ticking on Massaquoi and Robiskie to show more than they have. More opportunities would help, certainly; Robiskie is getting 3.6 targets per game, according to the NFL's official game summaries, with Massaquoi getting 3.5 passes thrown his way on average. By contrast, Watson (6.6 targets), Hillis (4.9), Chansi Stuckey (4.4) and Cribbs (3.7) have all been thrown to more frequently.
It's a small sample size, and how the teams have defended the Browns, as well as Cleveland's game plan in a given week, certainly must be taken into account when looking at these numbers, too. Also, Massaquoi missed most of the second half at Pittsburgh with a concussion (as did Cribbs) when QB Colt McCoy attempted 23 passes. Finally, Massaquoi and Robiskie had a combined 10 targets in the season opener vs. Tampa Bay when QB Jake Delhomme played a full game, and he has played only a full half since.
This could be a week to get the wideouts more involved. The Patriots are surrendering 282.4 net passing yards per game and are allowing opponents to complete 69.8 percent of their passes. With an extra week of preparation and an opponent with a shaky secondary, perhaps the Browns give their wideouts more chances. For Robiskie and Massaquoi, both second-round picks in 2009, maximizing those opportunities will be key.

Bottle shared by Andrew. Thanks! This was made exclusively for Wine Warehouse. Aged in a single Four Roses bourbon barrel. The Curieux label reads:
Wine Warehouse
Bottling January 2011
Cases Bottled 20 (6 bottles per case - my note)
A: Pale yellow, almost looks like apple juice. Fast fading white head.
S: Bready with apricot and orange. A little caramel. Lots of oak with just a little bourbon. Dash of vanilla.
T: Oak, a little vanilla, almost no bourbon. Quite fruity, with notes of apple and pear. Strong alcohol profile. Touch of spiciness. Pretty sweet.
M: Medium body with upper medium carbonation.
Overall: For being 100% barrel aged there's a surprising lack of spirit character. I was hoping for more.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Dozens of more jobs are being added in Keokuk with the construction of one of the largest McDonald's in the region.
Right now, crews are building the new restaurant at 14th and Main Street, that will be able to seat 120 people.
The new location will also feature 58 parking spots, more than triple the current capacity.
Customers say the new two lane drive through will make grabbing a quick bite easier.
"I think with the bigger drive through you won't have the hang up that you see out here right now coming off the street and trying to get through," said Terry Tinsley.
"This is congested right here really bad. I mean you could have an accident out here," said Lois Wagner.
The restaurant is expected to open in the beginning of April.

Otley pub gets five stars in Scores on the Doors
10:00am Friday 14th February 2014 in Local news
The Bowling Green pub in Otley has gained the top rating for its levels of hygiene in the council's Scores on the Doors programme.
The pub in Bondgate was awarded a five star rating by the council's inspectors.
Scores on the Doors aims to highlight hygiene standards in pubs, restaurants, take-aways and clubs across the borough.
Inspectors judge outlets on how hygienic and well-managed the food preparation at the premises is and each business is benchmarked against the same criteria namely: hygiene, structural and confidence in management.
The pub's manager, Rach Larkin, said: "I am delighted that we have gained the top rating and I'm sure our customers will welcome the news too.
"Standards of hygiene at the pub are of paramount importance.
"All of the staff work hard to ensure that the pub offers its customers the highest levels of hygiene at all time and we are delighted that our efforts have been recognised with the five-star rating."

Agate Bay All-Stars run the Lake Tahoe Tahoe Relay by Relzer - about 3 years ago
"This is the photo of our Lake Tahoe Relay Team running in to the finish with our final runner. Seven of us (one had to leave early) ran 72 miles around Lake Tahoe in 11 hours of climbing hills and thin air! The DeCelle Memorial Lake Tahoe Relay is the oldest running relay in the US (so I'm told); this was the 47th annual, created to honor a son and fallen soldier in the DeCelle family. The race is still primary family run, and it has the feeling of a community race. We had a fabulous time, and everyone LOVED our Custom-Ink T-shirts, complete with our nicknames and numbers on the backs!"

Determinants of the loan loss allowance: some cross-country comparisons
AbstractThis paper analyses the determinants of banks' loan loss allowances for samples of US banks and three non-US samples: a group of 21 countries, Canada and Japan. The model includes fundamental (or non-discretionary) determinants of the allowance such as non-performing loans, and discretionary determinants such as income before the loan loss provision. The results suggest that the loan loss allowance is sensitive to pre-provision income in almost all samples. However, the results also suggest that some variables thought to reflect fundamental factors in US analysis, such as net chargeoffs, are not significant factors for non-US banks.
