Exeter City 3, Southend United 0
5:04pm Saturday 12th January 2013 in Sport By Chris Phillips
SOUTHEND United sunk to their third successive league defeat this afternoon, losing 3-0 at play off rivals Exeter City.
Blues, who lost influential midfielder Marc Laird through injury after 29 minutes, thought they had taken the lead when Barry Corr's header from Gavin Tomlin's right wing cross bounced down after hitting the underside of the crossbar.
However, the match officials deemed the ball had not crossed the line and Exeter took full advantage of the let off by going in front in the 43rd minute when John O'Flynn drilled a low 18 yard shot in to the back of the net via the inside of the left post.
That effort came slightly against the run of play but Exeter were by far the stronger side after the break and doubled their in the 80th minute, with Scot Bennett on target.
The midfielder leapt high to meet a left wing corner from Matt Oakley and headed a looping effort back over Blues goalkeeper Paul Smith and in to the left hand side of the goal.
The Grecians then completed the scoring three minutes from time when O'Flynn tapped home after being teed up by Jimmy Keohane.

Drummer Hamilton Bohannon (born March 7, 1942) was among the top bandleaders, percussionists, and producers in '70s disco/dance music. Bohannon grew up in Newnan, GA, and was drumming in a high school band while an elementary school student. After earning a music degree from Atlanta's Clark College, he was hired as a drummer by Stevie Wonder and moved to Detroit, where he was a bandleader and arranger for Motown tours until he joined Dakar/Brunswick in 1972. Bohannon perfected his formula of heavy, thudding bass accents and aggressive rhythms while recording for Dakar.

Prison protest in Northallerton
Prison staff held a protest in Northallerton today. The prison is due to close, with the loss of almost 200 jobs. The Government wants to close four prisons in total, in favour of two new high-capacity 'superjails'.
Staff are being offered relocation, but with the nearest jail over an hour away, it's feared many will have little choice but to choose redundancy.

This was the first trip we had taken since my husband had a stroke and we chose not to have a handicapped room since he wasn't in a wheel chair at all times. Also we were traveling with my brother, his wife, his two grown daughters, two grandchildren and a second cousin. It made for a good support group in case anything went wrong. It was our fifth cruise and my brother and wife have been on many cruises. We all live in Florida and my husband and I live just south of Daytona Beach.
We dropped my husband and sister in law off at the entrance to the cruise line and parked right across the street in a handicapped place. A helper immediately came up with a wheel chair because he noted my husband's cane and limp. He was put in the wheel chair and we were all whisked up thru all of the entry points in a matter of minutes through closed doors and special walkways. The man took us all the way up to the room. What a pleasure! It turns out you can sign out a wheel chair for the whole trip and turn it in the last day. This was very helpful since he really needed one for the on shore excursions.
Our room was a balcony room on the sixth floor. Not a handicapped room, but very large with a king sized bed, couch, chair, 3 closets, and ample space. I had checked a ship brochure and made sure we weren't over a noisy place such as the theater or casino. We were over the shops and under other state rooms which made for a quiet space. Also near the elevators. The only long walk was to the Platinum Restaurant. Otherwise we only had to go to the elevators and go down a few floors to shows, shops, etc.
My husband thought he could walk it into Cozumel but after a long trek down the dock and then the streets, we then chose to take the wheel chair off the ship from then on. Costa Maya had a free jitney ride that would have been fine instead of the chair but we took it in there. Thank goodness we had it in Nassau because we went all the way down to the end of the yellow building trying to get to the straw market only to find out we had to go THRU the yellow building. A note to others: The new straw market (temporary I hope) is in a tent and the aisles are so small that I couldn't get the chair down any of them. Didn't do any of the excursions at any ports. We just enjoyed the ship and amenities and short trips ashore.
The entertainment was good. The last night they had people on the cruise take part in the show after lots of rehearsals with the dancers and singers on the cruise. They sang like Elvis, Gloria Estefan, Elton John and such and one of our nieces was chosen to sing like Madonna. She is very good and sings in a lot of Little Theaters in the Orlando area.
Getting off the ship was a snap. We went down to the Amber Room and men were there to push the wheel chair off and past all the customs, baggage lines. We were off and in the car by 8:45 but had to wait for my brother and wife for 45 min. because they were on the 9th floor and didn't have the helpers.
I hope this helps others with handicaps to let you know it is a great vacation for all.

RALEIGH — With Novembers Veterans Day a distant memory, December doesnt offer many occasions to honor those who served.
On Saturday though, hundreds of people across the Triangle took time out from the holiday shopping season to pay tribute at cemeteries in Wake County. They placed thousands of wreaths on the graves of veterans for Wreaths Across America Day, an annual tradition that started at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C.
We recognize veterans specifically on Veterans Day, but families miss their loved ones most at the holiday season, said Robin Simonton, director of Oakwood Cemetery, which participated in the event for the first time.
Oakwood started small this year, with 33 wreaths to spread among the 205 tombstones in its Field of Honor for veterans. But Simonton hopes to eventually get enough sponsors to decorate all Oakwood veterans graves including the 1,400 Confederate soldiers buried nearby.
A similar ceremony at Raleigh National Cemetery in Southeast Raleigh, now in its sixth year, is the areas biggest. The Samuel Johnston Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) got enough donations for 1,338 wreaths at the Southeast Raleigh site that houses thousands of veterans.
Boy Scouts, high school ROTC units and the Rolling Thunder motorcycle club all participated in the event.
Its not just a DAR function, its for everyone, organizer Sandra Rankin said. The whole point is to remember, honor and teach.
Across the country including 22 sites in North Carolina the Wreaths Across America organization estimated that 150,000 volunteers would place more than 400,000 wreaths Saturday.
But Charlie Silver, a Marine Corps veteran who spoke at the Oakwood event, urged the crowd not to focus on the number who fought and died for their country. We ask you to take a moment and visit a gravestone, then research the veteran online, Silver said. You will find that they are real Americans with families, mothers, brothers and sisters. They were, and are, more than just a statistic.
The Borash family sponsored a wreath for Andrew Joseph Borash, a World War II Army veteran who died of cancer three years ago. He served in the South Pacific and was stationed in Japan shortly after the war ended.
He was just a 19-year-old kid and didnt know what to expect, said Borashs widow, Terry Borash.
After the war, Andrew Borash always had a flag flying at his home.
Now I fly my flag in honor of him, daughter Marilyn Borash said.
The wreath ceremony is just one of the ways the Borash family keeps their fathers memory alive. They visit his grave at Oakwood often and each has a smiley face necklace to remember his constant optimism.
Its important that we dont forget them, especially at the holiday time, Terry Borash said.

Mike Triplett reports Saints CB Tracy Porter will miss two to four weeks due to a sprained left MCL:
Porter came back into Sunday's game briefly after suffering the injury during the Carolina Panthers' final offensive drive. But tests revealed a slight tear on Monday, according to a source.
Who knows; this might be a good omen for Saints fans. Porter suffered the same injury last year, returning to make game-sealing interceptions in both the NFC Championship Game and the Super Bowl.
Losing Porter limits the amount of pass rush creativity Saints DC Gregg Williams can express. Rookie Patrick Robinson is expected to fill Porter's role for the time being.

Application Procedures and Requirements
Application to the Harvard School of Public Health is made through the centralized Schools of Public Health Application Service (SOPHAS). For more information about this process, see http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/administrative-offices/admissions.
Required application materials include:
- A completed SOPHAS application which includes a résumé and a statement of purpose written by the applicant. The statement should describe the applicant's academic and professional history, area of interest at HSPH, reasons for wanting to enroll in the degree program, and professional or academic career plans upon completion of the program. The SM in health care management, MPH, DrPH, and JD/MPH programs have specific requirements for the statement of purpose.
- Official transcripts from all colleges, graduate schools, and/or professional schools attended, whether or not the courses taken are relevant to a degree in public health. Applicants must have a distinguished undergraduate record and demonstrate excellent performance in any graduate work undertaken. Certified English translations must be submitted when applicable.
- Letters of recommendation from at least three people who are well acquainted with the applicant's academic work and/or professional experience. (Recommendation forms are provided in the SOPHAS application.)
- Official scores of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) General Test. While GRE scores are strongly preferred, some other tests may be substituted in circumstances specified in the application. The requirement for scores from a standardized test will not be waived on the basis of academic or professional background.
- Official scores of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL), if applicable. Applicants (including those who have been U.S. citizens or permanent residents for less than one year) from countries where English is not the language of instruction must submit a score from the TOEFL. Those who have already taken the TOEFL may submit scores that are two years old or less. The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) exam will be accepted if the applicant's score is 7.0 or above.
- A nonrefundable application fee to SOPHAS. (The amount will vary according to the number of schools designated to receive the application.) HSPH does not charge an application fee.
- Applicants may apply to only one degree program and must satisfy the requirements of the department or program to which they are applying. Those applying to the JD/MPH joint degree program with Harvard Law School, the MD/MPH combined degree program with Harvard Medical School or another medical school, or the joint degree program with Simmons College must satisfy the entrance requirements for both schools. Applicants to SD and PhD programs must demonstrate the ability to undertake original research. All prospective students must apply for either full- or part-time status. Most international students are eligible for full-time study only.
Admission is granted for the summer (for summer programs) or the fall semesters of a particular year (currently September 2014). Students unable to enroll at the specified time may request a deferral, but may be required to reapply.
Applicants are notified as soon as possible (electronically) about the status of their application. The decision of the Committee on Admissions and Degrees is final and is not subject to appeal.
For all HSPH programs, the Committee on Admissions and Degrees considers the academic ability of applicants, the relevance of their previous education and experience, and their overall qualifications for graduate education in public health, including those qualities of character that reflect on an individual's suitability to be a public health professional. In decisions about admission and financial aid, the Harvard School of Public Health does not discriminate against individuals on the basis of race, color, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, age, national or ethnic origin, political beliefs, veteran status, or disability. The increased participation of underrepresented groups in public health practice and research is essential to the advancement of health, and the school is committed to expanding the diversity of its faculty, staff, and student body.
As a matter of policy, students may enroll in only one degree program at a time except for the following approved programs: MD/MPH, JD/MPH, and SM/MSN. Students scheduled to begin a degree program at HSPH in 2014 must show proof of degree conferral for all prior degrees that are required for admission (qualifying degrees) to the respective HSPH degree program. If an incoming student has not completed the necessary qualifying degree(s) and has not submitted the degree conferral documentation to the Office of Admissions by June 1, 2014, the student will need to request a deferral to begin studies at HSPH in 2015. In the case of extenuating circumstances, students should contact the Office of Admissions, without delay.
Tuition Deposit and Financial Certification
Applicants who are granted admission must submit a nonrefundable $520 deposit when confirming acceptance of the offer of admission. Accepted applicants who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents must demonstrate that sufficient funds are available in U.S. currency to pay the costs (tuition, fees, and living expenses) of the full period of their academic program. The student's name must be listed as the account holder or joint account holder. The account must be in U.S. dollar currency and held in a bank that has a branch in the United States. International students supported by personal, family, or sponsor's funds not paid directly to Harvard University are required to deposit and retain adequate funds in a Boston-area bank in an account bearing the student's name. Students bringing their families to the United States must transfer and certify adequate funds for their support as well. Please refer to the student expense budget for an estimate of living expenses in the Boston area.)

Sky Sports is reporting that Chris Hughton "has hinted" that he will start Jonas Gutierrez at Eastlands.
One of the stories I'm starting to get used to during an away week is the one about how Joey Barton will handle the away crowds - not to mention the players on the opposing team. This week's iteration of the story is of particular interest because he sustained a broken foot at Eastlands in 2009. Lee Ryder has the details.
The Newcastle United Supporters Trust is upset that the Halloween match with the mackems has been moved at the request of the police. I don't usually comment on the comings and goings of the NUST, but I don't see a legitimate complaint here. They would rather that the club didn't cooperate with the authorities?

Evan Bayh to Karl Rove: Bring It On!
by kydem, Fri Feb 03, 2006 at 09:11:18 AM EST
Essentially, that's what yesterday's speech at the Center for Strategic and International Studies was. I recieved a transcript sometime after the speech yesterday. The BayhPartisan has the full transcript up on that site. What I am going to do is, hopefully, break down some of the speech with commentary of my own. What Senator Bayh said is in italics and then my commentary will be all over.

Christmas is always an exciting time for children, but parents sometimes can feel overwhelmed with the amount of options they have when it comes to buying toys. Kim Gowdy, an area agent with the Mississippi State Extension Service, has some suggestions for gifts that are not only entertaining for children, but also educational. Below are her recommendations.
Top 5 toys for 2011 Christmas for children 0-2
1. Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes
2. Fisher Price Brilliant Basic Baby First Blocks
3. Baby Einstein Bendy Ball
4. Leap Frog Learn and Groove Musical Table
5. VTech Sit to Stand Learning Walker
Getting the Best Toy Value
Note: Toys listed are intended as examples only, not as endorsements of specific products.
The best toys promote healthy play appropriate for the age of the child. Technology marketing and media convincingly entice parents to buy more "gizmo" than a child can handle.
Toys that promote age-appropriate play include Tub puppets like Rich Frog for all ages $12.00 or Veterinarian Kit like ELC Vet Case, for ages 3 & up, $30.00.
Games that teach children to take turns like Domino Build-Mega Blocks ages 3 & up, $10.00 or Block Head ages 6 & up, $13.00.
Toys that promote creative arts like Stockmar Model Beeswax that is easy to use and keeps its color, ages 3 & up, $15.00.
Games that include physical movement like Enor Mini Bowling Set for all ages, $6.00 or Skyball-Maui Toys, a ball that can bounce up to 75 feet for a variety of games, all ages $8.00.
Toy Tips for Infants
You are a baby's best gift. Singing, touching, and talking with baby about the sounds, colors, and shapes of holiday decorations will interest lap babies. Other gifts may include:
Gifts for teething babies like Winkel Toy-the Land of Nod, bendable plastic tubes that rattle and can be refrigerated, $16.00.
Soft toys like Sophie the Giraffe that is flexible and easy to grip, 0-12 mo, $25.00.

manager at Randolph Pointe, home to about 400 troops who are single or
living on post without their families. "They started coming to my
office. They told me they would help me if we would continue the
home-cooked meals. They said it wouldn't be the same."
She served
that first meal in 2009 to about 30 people. The event quickly grew. By
2011, when 300 people lived in Randolph Pointe, Kegler worried that she
wouldn't be able to feed all the people who might attend or fill the
to-go boxes for the folks who can't get off work for the lunch.
thought, there's no way I can cook for that many people," she said. By
then, however, she didn't have just the residents invested in the meal.
Fellow staffers didn't want it catered either and asked how they could
"Now, I just don't have a choice," Kegler said. "And I've
just learned how to gauge it. We never run out of food. I would have a
fit if we did. We fried five turkeys last year. This year, I know I need
to fry at least eight in order to make sure we have enough."
Thursday, she estimates that she'll prepare fried turkeys, ham, macaroni
and cheese, collards, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and cornbread
for about 100 people, including some friends of the residents and a few
civilians who work nearby.
Scarlett Tyner, communications manager
for Corvias Military Living, said in an email that the holiday meal is
served the Thursday before Thanksgiving "to reach the greatest number of
service members while also allowing our staff to enjoy a well-deserved
holiday with their families as well. It's a win-win."
soldiers travel home for the holiday, "but we've also heard from several
past attendees that the luncheon was their only homemade meal during
this time of year," Tyner said.
To prepare this feast, Kegler
works alone. She won't let anyone help her in the kitchen and only the
desserts are bought in stores or prepared by others. Two days before the
dinner, she and a co-worker go to three or four grocery stores. By 7
a.m. Wednesday, she is locked in the kitchen alone, mashing and whisking
and baking.
"Everyone loves my cooking so I kind of want it done my way," Kegler said. "It's very flavorful if I do it myself."
not as if Kegler doesn't have her hands full with her job and caring
for her family, a 15-year-old daughter and her husband, Terry, who
retired from the Army this year as a 1st sergeant after 26 years in the
In 2010, Terry Kegler developed Guillain-Barré syndrome,
a disease that affects the peripheral nervous system. After years of
therapy, he walks with a cane and a walker, but the disease damaged the
nerves in his hands so severely that he has difficulty with buttons,
zippers and shoe laces, Kegler said.
Her family is OK with her
dedication to the residents' dinner as long as they get their dinner a
week later on Thanksgiving day, she said. "I make sure when Thanksgiving
comes, I put forth the same effort I do for my residents," Kegler said.
"Then I don't get in trouble."
This year marks the third time
that Staff Sgt. Charles McBride will eat a Thanksgiving dinner prepared
by Kegler. McBride, who's originally from Manning, S.C., has been in the
Army 20 years. He said he looks forward to the meal and the socializing
with other Randolph Pointe tenants.
He doesn't worry about what time he gets in line because he knows Kegler knows to expect him.
probably already knows to save me a plate," said McBride, who has lived
in Randolph Pointe since May 2009 except when he was deployed to
Afghanistan. "She knows my face."
The food is served at the
community clubhouse. Dessert is served on the pool table, where the ham
also is carved. If the weather is nice, Kegler will open the back doors
and let people sit by the pool and eat.
The line starts forming about 30 minutes ahead of the 11:30 a.m. meal.
year, Kegler plans to do something a little different afterward. With
her husband and daughter, she is taking a cruise to the Bahamas. But she
said the Thanksgiving dinner for the residents won't change as long as
she's at Randolph Pointe.
They "look forward to it now," she said. "So we'll keep doing it."

EDWARDSVILLE — A newspaper story about the fact that ex-Madison County Treasurer Fred Bathon continues to collect on a $90,000-per-year state pension has led state Rep. Dwight Kay, R-Glen Carbon, to co-sponsor a bill to ban criminals from receiving taxpayer-funded pensions.
House Bill 3665 amends the Illinois pension code to cut off pension benefits to participants in a state retirement fund who are convicted of corrupt acts linked to their public service.
Crimes covered by the measure include intimidation by a public official, bribery, official misconduct, engaging in kickbacks, fraudulently obtaining public money reserved for a disadvantaged business enterprise and certain types of theft.
Kay said in a statement that he was "outraged to learn that criminals continue to receive a taxpayer funded pension after pleading guilty for an act they committed while serving the taxpayers.
Kay added the he believed that rewarding elected officials with a pension after they admittedly broke the law while serving the taxpayers should be stopped.
"Criminals should not be allowed to collect a taxpayer funded pension," he said.
The catalyst for Kay's bill was a story published Sunday in the News-Democrat that highlighted the fact that Bathon was still receiving his $90,000-per-year state pension eight months after pleading guilty in federal court to orchestrating a scheme to rig the county's annual auction of tax liens, cheating thousands of county taxpayers.

Starting just right of the start to Mr. President, climb straight up to the big roof above. Traverse right under the roof for 25� to a series of slots in the roof. Arrange some protection in these slots, then bust out the roof with some fairly gymnastic maneuvers. Move right into the right-angling, right-facing corner and follow it to its end. Cross the slab to the right and join Turnkorner Direct. Climb 10 or 12 feet up Turnkorner Direct�s right-facing corner, and belay from slings. Continue, for 3-4 pitches, up Turnkorner Direct, Laura Scudders, or the unfinished Kitty.
Just right of the start of Mr. President is a big, right-facing corner that quickly turns into a horizontal roof extending out right for 60� or so. The Kitty starts just right of this right-facing corner.
Standard rack up to #3 Camalot. There are currently two fixed wires on the pitch. The one beneath the roof because it just wouldn't come out and the one at the lip of the roof because it took a very hard fall. I would strongly recommend backing up the wire at the lip.

Time for a special year-end, "Laurels only" edition of Darts and Laurels.
My first Laurel goes to Simmons College, the University of Louisville, Spalding University, JCTC and several local churches for partnering to make a college education possible for students who wouldn't otherwise be able to afford one. Under the plan, 25 students from some of the city's poorest Zip Codes will be selected to attend classes for free at Simmons for two years while living for free at Spalding. And after those two years, their credits will be transferable to U of L or another state school where they'll be able to earn their Bachelor's Degree.
My second Laurel goes to Henry Heuser Jr., President of the Henry Vogt Machine Company, for his persistent efforts in replenishing Louisville's downtown "tree canopy." For over a year, Mr Heuser has headed up an effort to gain funding to increase shade and decrease heat in the center city through the planting of new trees, and last week, he put his own money on the line by donating $7,500 to make sure the city's plan to plant 166 new trees by year's end wouldn't have to be cut back.
And finally, a Laurel goes to all of you. Without your participation, Point of View wouldn't be nearly as vital as it's been for the past ten-plus years, and I hope you'll all stick with us in 2013.
I'm Bill Lamb, and that's my…Point of View.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: December 03, 2012 CONTACT: Pamela Weaver, (601) 270-4100
Beware of where you Donate
Check your Charity this Holiday Season
Jackson, MS—Be smart where you donate your dollars this holiday season by checking your charity with the Secretary of State's Office.
"The holidays can bring out the best and worst in people," says Secretary of State Delbert Hosemann. "Check your Charity this holiday season before you make a donation. Make sure your hard earned dollars are spent on the cause you support."
Charities must be registered with the Secretary of State's Office to solicit funds in the State of Mississippi. Each year, the Secretary of State's office publishes a Report on Charitable Organizations. This report outlines the financial information of charities registered in the State, in addition to the percentage of charitable funds actually spent by a charity for its charitable purpose.
The Better Business Bureau recommends at least 65% of total expenses of a charitable organization should be spent on program activities directly related to the organization's purpose.
"Mississippians are some of the most generous in the nation. Make sure your generosity is not abused this holiday season." says Secretary Hosemann.
A copy of the Report on Charitable Organizations is available on the Secretary of State's website by visiting our website at http://www.sos.ms.gov/links/sec_char/2012%20Charity%20Report.pdf.

Hundreds unite to beautify the Arkansas River
Arkansas volunteers joined forces during this year's Great Arkansas River Cleanup to spruce up shorelines and trails along the Arkansas River, providing the state with more than $16,000 in time and effort value.
Keep Arkansas Beautiful and the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality partnered with city leaders in Clarksville, Fort Smith, Little Rock, North Little Rock, Ozark and Van Buren to pick up litter from the river and its banks. Teams also cleared brush from shorelines.
"We hope the Great Arkansas River Cleanup will lead to year-round efforts that will transform Arkansas and make its residents feel proud of our state," said Randy Naylor of Keep North Little Rock Beautiful, which started the Great Arkansas River Cleanup last year.
Despite rainy weather, more than 250 volunteers removed more that 6,000 pounds of litter from stretches of the river in the six participating communities. Along with the expected flotsam from river users, tackle, Styrofoam, cans and bottles, volunteers were shocked to find an abandoned hot tub, tires and other large items that had to be hauled away.
"This event was a great opportunity for everyone who treasures our great river to clean and improve it, augmenting its importance to their local communities," said Robert Phelps, director of Keep Arkansas Beautiful. "By clearing trash and debris, we can make sure that the Arkansas River continues to be one of the state's greatest natural resources."
The Great Arkansas River Cleanup is held in conjunction with the annual Keep Arkansas Beautiful Great Arkansas Cleanup (GAC).

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/29/2014Good experience. It was well suited for a group business lunch. The service was excellent.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food--overpriced wine!OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/28/2014You can always count on Bistro Bis to deliver French classics with a slight twist. This visit, they had a special rabbit loin appetizer that was in a mustard sauce with blueberries! It was delicious and the rabbit was tender and moist. My one major complaint about Bistro Bis is a wine list that is way overpriced with very few options below $50--maybe just a handful! That being said, I selected a $45 Rhone wine that was marvelous. But a broader selection in the moderate price range would be appreciated.Special Features:
- differentOpenTable Diner Since 2002Dined on 8/23/2014Good neighborhood place. Not your ordinary Mexican foodSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Pretty PerfectJosquinDined on 8/23/2014I spend a lot of my time in France and I would be extremely pleased to get a meal as good as the one we had here. The Bistro is not a cheap place - we spent about $100 per head including wine. However it certainly matches up to (and surpasses in terms of food quality) the similarly priced one star Michelin place I used to go to in Languedoc-Roussillon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PhlegonVIPDined on 8/21/2014My wife and I dined at Bistro Bis one evening. The food was very good and the service excellent, the latter due to the attentions of a fine waiter. We returned a couple nights later. This time the service (from a different waiter) was below average, in the sense that we didn't see him much and couldn't get his attention when we wanted it. The final blow was when a couple sat down at a closely nearby table, and one of the couple, seated a few feet away from my wife and facing me, coughed frequently and constantly with a deep cough. My wife and I finally lost our appetite, and since we could not locate our waiter to possibly seat us elsewhere, we terminated our meal, paid our bill at the register, and left.Special Features:
- decent restaurant week menu,njd3vilDined on 8/17/2014They only offered us a restaurant week menu to course from, bit disappointing cause so many items on it had an upcharge above the $35.14 taking away from the point. The cocktail menu only had 5 over priced drinks on it, $12 cocktails that are barely interesting? !? And even though my waiter was pleasant, he dragged the "experience" into a two hour affair. Dreadfully long for only a three course meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Beautiful and delicious food!Edmyster2Dined on 8/17/2014Went here for RW and so glad I did! The food was beautifully served and tasted as delicious as it looked. Can't wait to go back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great French SpotAlmostaFoodieDined on 8/17/2014I was in the mood for something different and it had been years since I had French food. Everything was delicious. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a great spot that isn't over crowded or very loud. The service was good and the food was awesome.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for a nice, quiet mealkarminozODined on 8/17/2014Great location near Union station, adjacent to a hotel. Courteous staff, flexible to change reservation time. Nice, soft music, with a relaxed atmosphere. Food was not extra-ordinary but good, and the portions average, but the Pork pate was scrumptious! Our server got a little busy at some point and had to be reminded of the wine ordered halfway thru the entree. But otherwise a good, dining experience, and would come back here again for the 'French' cuisine and the cool ambience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant week mis-apeiravatiDined on 8/17/2014I chose the restaurant week to try Bistro Bis. I chose it because of the menu it displayed for lunch on the web. Several fish $ meat. I was salivating for a steak. Got there & saw they offer free parking for diner but not for lunch! The place wasnt crowded, free lunch parking on WE would be nice! Got menu & surprise! was not the 1 of website. Was brunch menu w/ 1 fish & lot dishes w/eggs. I eat eggs all week! On WE the menu is different & not mentioned on rest. week web. They should put 3 menus there. I was disappointed Then the air conditioning was dripping on my friend shoulder! Got seated right behind another customer 3" apart, there was room somewhere else. My fish tasted good, but not enough veggies 4 tiny potatoes & few asparagus.Special Features:
- Great RW brunch menuRonGVIPDined on 8/17/2014The food was fabulous. Johnathan was an excellent server. They treated RW the way it should be--a way to introduce a restaurant to someone to entice them to return. We definitely plan to return to try their fall menu for dinner, if only to try the cheese plate.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Special Occasion? I think not.LisaPDined on 8/16/2014Our anniversary, unfortunately, is during DC restaurant week. We decided on Bistro Bis this year, because of the raves we'd heard about the food. Thankfully, the food did not disappoint. With the exception of the crème brulee (not horrible, just average), everything was delicious. However...the tables are crowded in with little room in between. The noise level is extremely high. The service was just okay--we had to ask for bread for our mussels and wait for our wine. When we made our reservation, the woman thanked me for letting her know it was our anniversary. Our server wished us a Happy Anniversary, then apologized that since it was restaurant week that was all he could do for us. If it's not restaurant week, I'd pass.Special Features:
- Amazing Servicesprat714Dined on 8/16/2014Probably the best service I have ever had at a restaurant in DC. My husband and I will definitely be going back for that and the french onion soup. The steak frites and beef bourguignon were also good but we have had better.Special Features:
- Summer Restaurant Week 2014wineloverDined on 8/16/2014A wide choice of items in each of the 3 categories: appetizer, entree, dessert for $35.14. Some selections required a supplement of a few dollars. Food was very well prepared and presented. Several wines were offered at a discount for Restaurant Week (a nice plus). Our server recommended, and offered us a taste of, a particular white wine which paired nicely with our fish entrees. Validated parking at a garage across the street was convenient. This was our second visit to Bistro Bis and we'll come again.Special Features:
- Still Got It!CGW9VIPDined on 8/15/2014This mainstay of the DC restaurant scene still has it! We stopped in for dinner on Friday night if restaurant week and it did not disappoint. Unlike other DC restaurants that really pare down their offerings during restaurant week, Bistro Bis came with a full compliment of 8 different appetizers, 8 different entres, and 8 different deserts. The wait staff was absolutely charming and professional--no 20 somethings stumbling over menu pronunciations here, just polished professionals who know their business and who are proud of their restaurant. As for recommendations, start with the chilled corned soup; then balance that out w/ a decadent pork belly for entre, and if you don't order the apple crostata for desert, you're making a mistake:)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great meal, nice date or businessAPAprofessionalDined on 8/15/2014Been to Bistro Bis twice. Been impressed both times. Food: Presented beautifully and was delicious. Melon salad, beets salad, scallops, steak, the creme brulee and apple pastry. IMO, great flavors, light when it should have been, hearty when it should have been. Pleasantly larger portions than many similar restaurants (More than 3 scallops and 4 bites of steak) and desserts that were light but still scrumptious (especially creme brulee) Service: Excellent waiter, Maydel. Extremely knowledgeable of both food, pairing and wines on their own. Interacted the perfect amount. Honest with suggestions for food. Really topped off experience. Ambiance: Professional and elegant. Not the most romantic (not dim lit, not super quiet)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Restaurant Week DinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/14/2014Went to Bistro Bis for restaurant week. They had a great selection of wine and each of the dishes my date and I had were fantastic. The highlight was the confit de canard (Duck in Moroccan sauce)--I believe the regular menu has sweetbreads in Moroccan sauce which I will definitely go back for--and the raspberry mousse dessert (can't remember the French name for it). Both were unbelievable. Server was attentive and nice, and gave a great recommendation with regards to dessert. He was always around, but was not bothersome and always on time with pouring the wine. I noticed a couple had sat down as we were half way through and finished their meal well before we did, so he did a fantastic job accommodating both speeds. Great place to eat.Special Features:
- Very goodJacobDined on 8/14/2014Tried it for Restaurant week, very good. The plates looked and tasted delicious. Ask for Steve or Olga.Special Features:
- Wonderful all around findDcdinerDined on 8/14/2014Our lunch started with a warm greeting from our waiter who made wonderful recommendations from the wine to the main course. Everything was perfectly prepared and beautifully presented and we were give the time and space to enjoy ourselves while never lacking service. Our lunch came to a grand end with a fresh pot of French press coffee and the space to enjoy it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DC Dining WeekHerkdrvrDined on 8/14/2014I can't complain about a $20.14 lunch. However, I will complain about the excessive salt on the steak & fries. Overall--solid.
- SnobsmacdinerDined on 8/13/2014Please don't participate in restaurant week if your heart isn't in it! The waiter was stuck up and made it sound like because it was restaurant week the menu was different and less special. No bread offered or given. Appetizers and desserts were good but the main dishes were not good. My beef bourgignon was so-so meat and some unidentifiable other ingredients that seemed thrown in from a separate dish and not cooked succulently. No charm at this restaurant. The nicest person was the bus boy. Feels like they get guaranteed customers from the adjoining hotel and business meals from the area and they are not looking for new clients.
- Every course was greatJMo31Dined on 8/13/2014From the melon salad to the salmon to the creme brûlée, every course was beautifully prepared. My girlfriend had the pork belly, and it is one of the best pork belly dishes I've had anywhere. Highly recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Restaurant Week DiningkekuleDined on 8/13/2014We had not dined at Bistro Bis before, and selected them for lunch in Restaurant Week because they listed their extensive menu on the R. W. web site, so we knew what would be offered before we arrived. The food was excellent; the service (Norman) was outstanding. We had a very satisfying meal at a bargain price, and we hope to return soon.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious food; good servicefoodloversDined on 8/13/2014The three of us fully enjoyed our meals and had the opportunity to taste each others' choices. All was delicious -- especially the chicken which was the most moist, tender chicken I ever ate, with a delicious sauce that further enchanted my taste buds! The fish (skate) was wonderful - a great opportunity to taste a rare fish choice on many menus. The desserts just hit the spot as a sweet ending to the meal. The service was good with just the right amount of attention. When the dining room is fully booked, the noise level is high - as time passed the room emptied and was much more conducive to a normal sound level of conversation.Special Features:
- Nice place to indulge your sensesDiningCatDined on 8/13/2014Loved the food. My girlfriend and I went for restaurant week and we did notice the little details. Food was 10/10 , service was helpful . I would only be concerned about the pricing as it is a little expensive not in RW, but if you are willing to pay for it, you are not getting a bad bargain. It is worth every penny ! Oh and for nice occasions , it is a great place !Special Features:
- Great lunchPrincessDined on 8/13/2014The food was great and so were the portions. We went for restaurant week and we had an amazing selection- duck, pork belly, salmon. Salads were also good- deserts were good but missing something.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Classic Restaurant in Peak FormvinoDined on 8/12/2014A great Restaurant Week choice--generous options (not just two or three per course I see in some restaurants). One main course was slightly off at our table for 4--the scallops were overwhelmed by a olive flavor, but everything else was so outstanding that we thought 5-stars was appropriate. We also found an excellent 2009 Pomerol for $60 on the wine list. The service was exemplary. The restaurant seems to have upped its game in recent years.Special Features:
- Everything Excelent!HappylilPiggieVIPDined on 8/12/2014We dined during restaurant week. We were a large party and were able to enjoy almost everything offered on the lunch menu. They did NOT skimp ot the menu during this period. The group highly recommended the French Onion Suop, of all things. It was truly the best I've ever had . I will go back just for it. Also, Steak Tartar and Raw Seabass very very good. As for the entrees, Lamb Stew took the cake. However, I must admit, we did not try the Duck Confit, for some dumb reason. Finally but not at all least, Alex, our server was perfect! He was professional, made is laugh without being invasive, knowledgable about the menu, and made great recommendations. We truely felt taken care of. Thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Jonathannesrobin4Dined on 8/12/2014I know it may seem a little odd to name your review after a person, but Jonathan is exceptional. Not only will I return, but I better be seated in his area every time! I had lamb stew. It was well seasoned and perfectly cooked. My friend had the duck and the only thing left was the bone. I wasn't sure about the peach creme brule, but it turned out to be delicious. This place exceeded all of my expectations. Thank you.Special Features:

The food, from appetizers, to main meal, to desserts, were all done well and presented nicely. The bread was fresh and tasty and the service was great. I wished that they brushed off the bread crumbs from the table before serving the main meal, but it doesn't bother me too much. Overall, great value especially during Restaurant Week.Special Features:

- Bistro Bis & The George HotelOpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 8/8/2014We had early reservations, hence the quiet rating. Food was very good, tasty, well presented. My husband had the fois gras which was cooked perfectly and served with a "french toast" style brioche. The brioche was a bit too sweet so it overwhelmed the fois gras a bit more than complementing it, but still worth ordering. He also order the lamb which was a perfect medium rare and warm from center to outside without any raw spot. I had the quail appetizer and am trying to figure out how the chef deboned such a tiny bird. Very tasty and the seasoning complemented the gaminess. I also had the vegetable risotto, which was creamy and cheesy. The roasted vegetables served on top were excellent and wish there was more of it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

I'm a huge fan of this restaurant group, and I'm so glad I finally got a chance to try Bistro Bis. I had the risotto with roasted summer vegetables, and my friend had the endive salad. I can't wait to return to try more things on their menu.
- Nice lunchannfromdcDined on 8/7/2014A friend and I spent a few lovely hours over a mostly delicious lunch. The rabbit was very nice. The polenta excellent. Apple tart to die for. Almond-something or other dessert not so much. Waiter was a bit hard to find sometimes.

I'm Dreaming of a Green Christmas (9 Ways to Be More Green with Less Green)
12.04.09 I'm Dreaming of a Green Christmas (9 Ways to Be More Green with Less Green)
I'm trying to be more green, and spend less green this holiday. For years I've been working to lessen the impact of the holidays on the environment, being sickened by the excess glut of stuff, especially cheap toxic stuff from China.
But it's not easy. And I don't want to be a scrooge. So here are a few of the goals and ideas I'm working on this year to simplify, enjoy, and feel good this Christmas without breaking the bank.
1. Buy U.S. made products. I've put together a great gift guide for U.S. made non-toxic toys, and I have already made my orders. Now, these do cost more, but we are buying less of everything, so we can put a little more here. (This year I add MightyNest to the list!)
2. Select one or two meaningful gifts for your kids, instead of piles of cheap, breakable, and harmful stuff. Quality is better than quality (and the kids won't be as overwhelmed).
3. Use gift bags and boxes instead of wrapping paper. I've been collecting gift bags for awhile, and have many ready to use. You can also use cloth, foil, or the funnies section of the newspaper.
4. Buy a live tree from a local tree farm (if you are planning to have a tree). This way you are supporting your local economy, and can compost your tree when you are done. Many waste management agencies now compost trees, or you can do what we do, and drag it into our woods to become habitat. Artificial trees are usually made in China, contain lead and PVCs.
5. Pick names for gift giving, instead of giving gifts to everyone. This is easier on the pocketbook, and on the earth (less excess consumerism). We've been doing this for years. Now, we just focus on the children in the family. My husband and I exchange stockings, and that's it!
6. Consider giving a meaningful charitable gift in a loved one's name, using Changing the Present. They have powerful ways to support children, families, environmental and health and safety causes world wide.
7. Make food gifts for your friends and family, instead of buying presents. This year, I hope to make several loaves of pumpkin bread with my little girls. They then see the value of creating something for someone, and are part of the experience.
8. Make ornaments instead of buying them. Here is a simple clay recipe (from the Everything Toddler Activities Book by Joni Levine) that you can use and cut out shapes with cookie cutters.
1.5 cups flour
1.5 cups cinnamon and nutmeg mix (I used less)
1 cup salt
1 cup water
Holiday cookie cutters
1 straw
1. Mix all the ingredients together. Add more water or flour as need to make it hold together nicely and not be extremely sticky.
2. Have your little helper knead the dough and roll it out to 1/4 inch thick.
3. Show your child how to cute out shapes with the cookie cutters.
4. Use the straw to poke a hole in the top part of the ornament.
5. Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes until they are hard.
6. Paint and decorate!
Then you can paint them, write the recipients name and the year, and sign your children's names. This is an affordable and simple way to create ornaments for friend and family that they will cherish.
9. To send cards or not? That is the question. Sending them takes money, valuable fossil fuels, and paper. But they are so nice to get! We are taking the lazy, cheap and environmentally responsible route this year. No cards (sorry mom!) but if I did I would research some responsible holiday picture card options.
These are just a few ideas for how to celebrate this year (however you may celebrate!)while being as green as possible, and not spending as much green.

Adobe AIR
Adobe Native Extension for iOS Game Center – Part 2
by Dave on Feb.06, 2012, under Actual RIA info, Adobe AIR, Adobe Flex, Apple, Coolness, iOS, Mobile
In part one of this series, you created the Actionscript 3 library, Objective C static library and wrapped it all together in a beauteous Adobe Native Extension (ANE) for use in your Flash mobile app. By now, you're able to connect to Apple's Game Center, but you don't know it yet. This post will will show you how to make use of your ANE to invoke the loginUser, showLeader, and showAchievements methods in your native library.
At this point, you should have created the BazingaANE.ane (or whatever you named yours) and you're ready to use it in your app.
The full code is located here on Github.
Adobe Native Extension for iOS Game Center – Part 1
by Dave on Feb.06, 2012, under Actual RIA info, Adobe AIR, Adobe Flex, Apple, Coolness, iOS, Mobile
With the advent of Adobe Native Extensions (ANE's) Flash platform developers have been fully unleashed upon the mobile OS scene. Your Flash apps now have full access to all native features through ANEs. This two part series will get you ready to integrate your own Flash games with Apple's Game Center so you can start concentrating on making your fortune.
For brevity, this post is only going to show you how to do three things with Game Center, authenticate the user, show leaderboards and show achievements. I noticed during my Google sessions, there are many other people looking for the same integration with Game Center ANEs for Flash mobile games, so this will show you the bridge to achieve that goal, and the rest of the implementation is up to you. By the end of this post, you'll understand how to submit achievements or scores, etc, all the things we're not doing in this post.
Because I can't say this enough, I'll post it in bold: IMPORTANT - You need a decent understanding of ANE creation in general and setting up apps with iOS Developer Portal and iTunes Connect for Game Center. Without those prerequisites, you won't get much from this post.
Whatever, just show me the code!

Using e4x with XML Namespaces for Twitter search
by Dave on Feb.01, 2011, under Actual RIA info, Adobe AIR, Adobe Flex, Cloud APIs
I was working on a component for a client that uses search.twitter.com to find all relevant tweets based on a query string recently and I noticed there's a lot of other samples out there that use some hefty XML parsing code to sift the data rather than make life easy with e4x. The Twitter search API uses XML namespaces in its results, and it seemed that many other posts out on the intertoobs (can I coin this term?) were implying that it caused problems within AS3. Not true. Since I didn't find a lot on the Twitter search topic specifically, a new blog post was born. The following is a quick and easy sample of how to use e4x in your XML results by using the given XML namespaces.
For this client's component, I didn't need to authenticate users, but rather, search for all public streams via a query string. If you take a look at the Twitter search API docs you can see the process pretty straightforward, it's just using URL query strings to retrieve data . Generally, you can search for tweets:
- containing a word
- from a user
- to a user
- referencing a user
- containing a hashtag
- or combining any of these options together
Attest 3 – Adobe Flex 4 ACE Certification mock exam released today
by Dave on Sep.07, 2010, under Actual RIA info, Adobe AIR, Adobe Flex, Coolness, PXL Info
For whatever reason, my personal blog has much more traffic than PXL Blog. Maybe it's the crazy YouTube videos? Or the shameless ramblings during the wee hours fixing bugs? Whatever the case may be, I figured I'd blog twice about Attest 3 being released today. If there's anything I like more than writing a blog post about something cool, it's writing two blog posts about said cool thing
You can read the full stats on Attest at the PXL Blog. Go and download Attest 3, get certified, make fun of your iPhone dev buddies when you're pumping out AIR for Android apps 10 times faster, collect your million dollar yearly salary (alright maybe that's a stretch?), rinse and repeat for Flex 5 we'll leave the light on for you.
Enjoy! P.S. More fun to come later in the week I have to say, it was kind of cool that Attest leaked out a little earlier than planned – ha! I'll show you why soon.
Flex 4 released today – tons of new material for learning
by Dave on Mar.22, 2010, under Actual RIA info, Adobe AIR, Adobe Flex, Coolness
If you haven't seen already, Adobe released Flash Builder 4 and Flex 4 SDK today. If you're a student or you're unemployed, or possibly an unemployed student even, you can get yourself a free copy of Flash Builder. Along with the release are endless heaps of new material to get you up-to-speed with the latest and greatest of Flex. Below is a list of some of the best new resources to get you up and running with Flex 4 in no time.

Flex 4 animate properties
by Dave on Jan.25, 2010, under Actual RIA info, Adobe AIR, Adobe Flex
I came across a situation while doing a Flex 4 upgrade for an Adobe Developer Center sample app where I wanted to use some the Spark animate properties classes.
This is SO cool because it gives you truly granular control over every aspect of a component you want to animate. In the sample I'm upgrading, there is an extended TileGroup component that has three columns and two rows of charts for an enterprise dashboard application. When a user clicks a button to zoom in on any given chart, I wanted to make use of some of the new Spark effects to really create a 3D look and feel quickly (without delving too much into custom layouts). Actually, the layout I made is a custom TileGroup, but I wanted to point out some ways you can use the Animate class to make sweet transitions on any property of a component in your own apps for simple animation, without having to create custom layouts.
(Shibuya-beta) Adobe's Try/Buy service for AIR applications
by Dave on Oct.10, 2009, under Actual RIA info, Adobe AIR, Adobe Flex, Coolness, PXL Info
Ok so it takes me a while to catch up on the blogging. MAX is over and the secrets are out. One thing I was particularly happy about was the new Shibuya Beta program, where Flex developers could incorporate Adobe's licensing framework and start selling AIR apps.
My colleague Holly Schinsky and I were invited to be part of the super early beta program before MAX, which was extremely cool. This is huge for AIR developers because we now have a fully supported means of monetizing our applications. In the early days of Apollo (AIR's beta name) I had come up with the idea for Attest (mock exam software for Adobe's Flex certification) while studying myself. There was nothing on the market and I had compiled heaps of data while studying, so I thought it would make for a nice side project.
Updates on MezzyShredder.com
by Dave on Sep.29, 2009, under Actual RIA info, Adobe AIR, Coolness, Electric Mayhem, Intense Nonsense, PXL Info
Where have I been again? I don't remember sometimes…oh wait, working constantly! Inundated with work and slacking off on the blogging again. I was at CF United, and that was very cool. Learned heaps, caught up with old friends, drank beer, learned more, played golf, drank more beer, and so on.
Besides that, I've just been insanely busy (what's new) pitching gigs, winning some, losing some, running away fast from others, and working secretly on Attest in the wee hours on top of everything else. Check out the PXL Blog for more (much much more soon), even if you're not looking to get Flex certified or not interested in Attest, you'll be very interested in some of the Adobe MAX goodness next week – mwahahha! Shhh, say no more…say no more, wink wink, nudge nudge, does she go aye?
On top of that, I've been updating MezzyShredder.com with new content, many a late night. He joined a new band, formerly called LOCKJAW, currently called War Horse. I defy even Yngwie Malmsteen to play faster or better than this man
What economic crisis? Surely not for RIA developers!
by Dave on May.02, 2009, under Actual RIA info, Adobe AIR, Adobe Flex, Apple, Coolness, Intense Nonsense
To say I've been busy is an understatement. Where to start? They tell me there's an economic meltdown going on. My question is, where? If you're an RIA developer, especially a Flex developer, I can't imagine you're having a tough time finding gigs. Unless there's just so many of us now that there's actually competition?
My thorough lack of writing on my FUN blog parallels my thorough lack of sleep. It's tough running a company on your own, especially when it's a teeny tiny RIA firm and you're completely lost when keeping records in QuickBooks. So what have I been up to? For starters, I updated a bunch of stuff on MezzyShredder.com. Added tons of videos of him playing with his band Wicked Society ( signed on a B & G Music label ) and YouTube. So if you're into Black Label Society-style music, go check out Mezzy shredding like none other!
Buy American…but don't pay for Attest 1.5 though
by Dave on Mar.05, 2009, under Actual RIA info, Adobe AIR, Adobe Flex, Coolness, Intense Nonsense, Nonsense, PXL Info
Ok that's an excuse, but a good one! I finally bought myself a Fender FSR Highway One Stratocaster HSS
made in the USA of course Needless to say, I got NO work done the rest of the day…well no RIA work anyway. Man this is one sexy guitar!
Sorry, I had to share my euphoria though. With this thing in the office, I'll have a hard time getting any work done. Anyway, I've been working my rump off on a bunch of different things but mostly I've been cranking on Attest 1.5. It's built in Adobe AIR (see PXL blog for the full scoop). This is current being tweaked and tested, and will be available shortly. The coolest news is that it's free for non-commerical use. If you want to get certified in Flex 3/AIR, you'll want to download this AIR app when it's finally released. I've taken a way longer time getting it out than I had originally planned on, but with my work load, and being a one man show so far, it's been tough.

I am trying to send email from my N9 without user intervention. After failing over and over I decided to try to find an open source app that did it so that I could examine the source code. The one I chose was Digia's example of a Remote Camera: http://store.ovi.com/content/275567.
I obtained the source from https://gitorious.org/remote-camera, opened it in QtCreator (latest stable version but I can't remember the version number). After answering the questions about creating files for Harmattan, etc., I compiled it without problems.
I was then rather disappointed to find that when I ran it on my N9 that I got exactly the same message in the console as I had with my own code. The message was from the send function and said that it could not find the default account.
When I installed the binary from the Ovi store it worked perfectly.
So what am I missing?

Experimental high energy physics
Research Categories: Experimental High Energy Physics
Research Description: Professor Goshaw current research is focused on the study of Nature's most massive particles, the W and Z bosons (carriers of the weak force) and the top quark (discovered in 1994). These studies have been carried out using 1.96 TeV proton-antiproton collisions provided by Fermilab's Tevatron, and analyzed using the CDF detector. Current studies concentrate on measurements of the tri-linear coupling among the photon, W boson and Z boson, as tests of the non-abelian character of the electroweak force carriers.
His research in the next five years will be focused on searches for phenomena beyond those predicted by the Standard Model, using precision measurements of the production of high energy photons, leptons and penetrating neutral particles such as neutrinos. In 2012, this research will be carried out at the high energy frontier using the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN.

With the crashing economy dominating national news, the
problems of a few Gulf Coast communities hit by hurricanes
might not amount to a hill of beans in the big picture. But for
many people in places like Galveston, Texas, New Orleans,
Louisiana, and Gulfport, Mississippi, coming back from
Hurricane Ike, or even Hurricane Katrina, is still life's top
Galveston officials traveled to a hearing January 7 with state
legislators to plead for help — if only in the form of
a refund to the city of sales taxes collected there for the
state. Read about it in this
Houston Chronicle story. Galveston city employees,
including firefighters and police, have agreed to a 3% pay cut
to help the city get by. Even so, layoffs are looming if the
city can't fend off a cash-flow crisis caused by a 30% drop in
revenue. The state legislature voted to create an emergency
recovery fund for Galveston — but has not appropriated
any money to put in the fund.
Making landfall on Saturday, September 13, 2008, Hurricane
Ike was rated at Category 2, but it's low central pressure was
more typical of a stronger storm. Ike's storm surge
wiped away hundreds of homes and businesses from some of the
most exposed stretches of the barrier island.
Galveston residents looking 200 miles to the east could be
forgiven if they find the lesson of New Orleans, Gulfport, and
Biloxi discouraging. In New Orleans, reports the
Times-Picayune, the game clock is running down on the
funding window for business recovery or development projects
with Gulf Opportunity Zone bonds, federally supported
low-interest, tax-exempt financing. With only 4% of the money
tapped, unused funds will go to other parishes if New Orleans
planners can't manage to get projects in gear soon.
And life is still tough for many individuals hoping to rebuild
their own homes. A January 6 PBS Frontline documentary,
Old Man and the Storm," focuses on the problems of New
Orleans through the eyes of one old man trying to start
On the Mississippi side, hundreds of people still living in
Katrina cottages are facing a deadline to get out. (While
living in their cottages "for free" on the sites where their
homes used to stand, Katrina victims have been continuing to
pay their mortgages in order to avoid being foreclosed and
losing the land as well as the house.) That story is covered in
USA Today and also in the
If Katrina cottages aren't suitable for permanent housing,
nobody has told that to Lowe's. The home center giant is
offering a range of
