Elm Street closed Thursday and Friday
MONTPELIER A section of Elm Street will be closed both Thursday and Friday this week, to allow for repairs to be made to a brick building at the corner of Elm and School streets, city officials announced.
A problem with the brick facade of the building, which houses the Uncommon Market on the ground floor, was discovered recently when the city was embarking on a sidewalk improvement project. Due to the risk of falling bricks, the sidewalk project had to be postponed until the structural issue was resolved.
City officials had already announced that starting tomorrow and continuing through Friday, Elm Street would be closed to all motor vehicle traffic between the intersection of Langdon Street and the Elm Street/School Street intersection. All businesses will remain open during construction including the Uncommon Market. If deemed safe, the street will be open during the evening, non-work hours of the project.
Information on the project is also available at the City of Montpeliers website, www.montpelier-vt.org.

The present invention tunes and stabilizes a volume hologram by migrating an ultraviolet sensitive epoxy resin into the hologram with a solvent, causing the volume hologram to swell and shift its center frequency. When a sufficient shift has occurred, the epoxy resin is exposed to ultraviolet light, setting the resin and preventing further change. An appropriate resin-solvent solution can be arrived at for different media by slowly changing the ratio of solvent to resin and observing the end product until the desired frequency shift and broadbanding is observed with visually or with a spectrometer.
1. A method of processing a recording medium having a porous structure, comprising the steps of:
(a) applying a solvent and resin mixture solution to the recording medium;
(b) allowing the mixture solution to migrate into the recording medium without filling the structure; and
(c) setting the resin after a desired change in the recording medium is detected and removing the solvent.
2. A method as recited in claim 1, wherein the recording medium comprises a volume hologram, the resin comprises an ultraviolet light sensitive resin and the resin is set using ultraviolet light.
3. A method of processing a recording medium having a porous structure, comprising the steps of:
(a) applying a solvent and resin mixture solution to the recording medium, comprising the steps of:
(a1) mixing the solvent with the resin to form the mixture solution; and
(a2) spreading the mixture solution over a surface of the medium causing the medium to swell;
(b) allowing the mixture solution to migrate into the recording medium without filling the structure; and
(c) setting the resin after a desired change in the recording medium is detected.
4. A method of processing a recording medium having a porous structure, comprising the steps of:
(a) applying a solvent and resin mixture solution to the recording medium;
(b) allowing the mixture solution to migrate into the recording medium without filling the structure; and
(c) setting the resin after a desired change in the recording medium is detected, comprising the steps of:
(c1) detecting a desired shift in the center frequency of the medium;
(c2) radiating the medium in ultraviolet light responsive to the detection; and
(c3) evaporating the solvent.
5. A method of tuning a volume hologram having a porous structure, comprising the steps of:
(a) combining a resin with a sufficient amount of solvent to obtain a desired changed in the hologram;
(b) applying the combined resin and solvent to the hologram;
(c) allowing the combined resin and solvent to migrate substantially into the volume hologram without filling the structure; and
(d) setting the resin.
6. A method of tuning a volume hologram having a porous structure, comprising the steps of:
(a) changing a spacing between Bragg planes in the hologram by migrating a resin-solvent solution into the hologram without filling the structure; and
(b) fixing the spacing by setting the resin and removing the solvent.
7. A method of tuning a volume hologram recorded in a developed recording medium having a porous structure and, comprising the steps of:
(a) mixing a solvent with an ultraviolet light settable resin to produce a stabilization solution;
(b) spreading the stabilization solution over the surface of the recording medium;
(c) allowing the stabilization solution to migrate into the recording medium without filling the recording medium;
(d) detecting a desired change in a frequency spectrum of the hologram;
(e) irradiating the hologram with ultraviolet light thereby setting the resin; and
(f) heating the hologram and driving out the solvent.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention is directed to tuning volume holograms and, more particularly, to a method of broadening the bandwidth and/or shifting the transmission and reflection frequencies of volume holograms and stabilizing the resulting film from further change and damage.
2. Description of the Related Art
Volume holograms are characterized by three dimensional Bragg planes created throughout the volume of the recording medium. The recording medium when developed includes a very delicate microstructure which is easily damaged by abrasion, pressure, moisture and organic solvents. The holograms are typically used as transmissive or reflective filters and it is difficult to produce a filter that operates at wavelengths longer than the recording wavelength. Once created, the center frequency of the hologram tends to drift over time toward the blue end of the visible light spectrum. This drift is caused by the gradual collapse of the microstructure of the Bragg planes. It is desirable to make these structures rigid, resistant to abrasion and resistant to frequency shift.
The prior art technique for protecting the hologram film is to encapsulate the hologram in glass or plastic to protect the film from abrasion, solvents and moisture. This technique does not prevent center frequency shift and the hologram continues to drift in playback color.
It is an object of the present invention to controllably shift the center frequency of a volume hologram and stabilize the shift.
It is another object of the present invention to broaden the bandwidth of a volume hologram and stabilize the increased bandwidth.
It is an additional object of the present invention to produce a volume hologram that will not be affected by environmental factors such as humidity and organic solvents.
It is a further object of the present invention to create a hologram with a gradient in the distance between Bragg planes in the film.
It is still another object of the present invention to change the Bragg plane structure without completely filling the low density regions between Bragg planes.
The present invention attains the above objects by migrating an ultraviolet sensitive adhesive or epoxy resin into the hologram microstructure with a solvent, causing the volume hologram to swell, shift its center frequency and broaden its bandwidth. When a sufficient shift has occurred, the adhesive is exposed to ultraviolet light, setting the resin and preventing further change.
These together with other objects and advantages which will be subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout.
FIG. 1 illustrates an apparatus for creating a reflection volume hologram;
FIG. 2 illustrates a reflection volume hologram after development; and
FIG. 3 illustrates a volume hologram with the center frequency shifted and stabilized in accordance with the present invention.
To create a volume hologram a laser 10, as illustrated in FIG. 1, produces a coherent beam 12 which is expanded by a series of conventional lenses 14 into a larger beam 16. Part of the beam 16 is reflected by a conventional half reflecting mirror 18 onto a target 20. The target 20 produces a reflection image that encounters a conventional recording medium 22 such as dichromate gelatin. The portion of the beam 16 that is transmitted by the mirror 18 also encounters the recording medium 22. The combination of the beam 16 and the reflection image from the target 20 creates interference regions in the recording medium 22 called Bragg planes. These interference regions are three dimensional planes of refractive index change and cause light passing through the developed film to be reflected. The frequency of the reflected light is determined by the space between the planes, allowing the film to act as a frequency filter.
The recording medium 22 is then developed using standard developing techniques. For example, when a dichromate gelatin is developed the unexposed chromate is removed from the medium 22 and a volume hologram 30 results that has a microstructure much like a sponge with varying high and low density regions 32 throughout the material, as illustrated in FIG. 2. The layers 34-40 of variable density 32 define the Bragg planes, that is, the regions of refractive index change.
The hologram 30 can act as a transmissive or reflection filter and can be used to narrow the spectrum of a broadband source of light.
Because the recording medium 22 after developing is porous and not solid, it will readily absorb moisture and solvents and tends to collapse over time especially when under small amounts of pressure. The present invention stops these deleterious effects from occurring by supporting the microstructure with a cured epoxy resin. An ultraviolet sensitive adhesive or epoxy resin is mixed with a solvent and spread over the surface of the volume hologram 30, also at room temperatures, in very thin layer. Room temperature is preferred, however, the solubility of the volume hologram is a function of temperature and time. The rate at which the solvent/epoxy solution is absorbed or taken up by the hologram can be adjusted by raising or lowering the temperature of the components. Increases in solution temperature increases absorption speed. The solvent carries the resin into the microstructure and causes the hologram to swell like a sponge filling with water. As the holograms swells the center frequency of the hologram shifts toward the red end of the spectrum and the bandwidth broadens. When the desired amount of shift has occurred, the hologram is exposed to ultraviolet light which sets all the epoxy resin and prevents further changes in the microstructure. The solvent is then allowed to evaporate leaving only the hologram and the cured resin. The cured epoxy resin supports the microstructure and prevents changes from occurring when exposed to moisture or solvents. The resin on the surface of the hologram provides a protective coating that prevents scratching.
FIG. 3 illustrates an expanded and stabilized hologram 50 in which the solvent/resin solution was applied to the top surface of the hologram. As can be seen, the distance between the Bragg planes 52-58 increases toward the top surface because more solvent and resin was present in the top layers when the epoxy was exposed to the ultraviolet light. The expansion of the distance between the Bragg planes shifts the center frequency of the hologram and broadens the operating region. The change in distance produces a gradient in the distance change.
Typically, the epoxy resin is mixed with a small amount of solvent and spread over the hologram 30 with a bar or sponge producing a light film on or dampening of the hologram. If the hologram is saturated, the desired effects will not be produced. As the solvent/epoxy solution migrates into the hologram, the color of the hologram will change when back lit with a white spectrum light source such as a clear incandescent light bulb or the color reflected off the hologram will change when the light is reflected from the top of the hologram. When the color change has stopped and the process has gone to completion or when the color change reaches a desired spectral shift, the hologram is exposed to ultraviolet light from a mercury arc lamp or xenon lamp. The ultraviolet light sets the epoxy resin and stops any further color change. The xenon lamp will effect the most rapid setting of the resin because it produces higher ultraviolet flux. The color change of the hologram can then be determined visually or with a spectrometer.
If the color shift has been too far, the ratio of epoxy resin to solvent is increased (i.e., more resin) and the coating and curing steps are repeated on a new hologram. If the color shift is not far enough the ratio of epoxy resin to solvent is decreased for a new hologram. By small adjustments in the solventepoxy ratio, an appropriate solution can be obtained which will produce the desired results. The object is to provide the right amount of solvent to cause swelling without filing the large low density regions between Bragg planes; thereby maintaining the original brightness, efficiency and index modulation. Particular changes in the above procedure will be discussed for various holographic recording media as discussed below.
Polaroid makes a volume phase material known as DMP-128. After polymerization (development) this structure may be stabilized against collapse from water absorption by a fatty acid in a technique developed and available from Polaroid. The volume hologram can also be tuned by filing the low density areas with various solvents that do not soften the structure. One drop of the epoxy resin GRACE 611 available from W.R. Grace and Company is mixed with 1 milliliter of 29-H diluent available from W.R. Grace and Company and 1 milliliter of methanol or ethanol. This solution is spread over the hologram film using a coating bar or simply wiped on with a soft cloth or tissue. The reconstruction wavelengths of the hologram shift immediately toward the red end of the spectrum and broaden significantly. For example, the bandwidth can be increased from about 30 nanometers to 100 nanometers or from blue only to blue plus green plus yellow. As the solvent evaporates a final brighter and more broadband reconstruction remain which may be set with ultraviolet light from a mercury arc or Xenon lamp during or after evaporation of the solvent. The application of heat during this process such as applied from common sun lamp, will help avoid the condensation of moisture on the hologram as well as increase the speed of the shifting process. Small shifts in frequency may be accomplished by repeated applications and by altering the ratio of the resin mixture to alcohol. That is, uncured resin will continue to migrate through this structural material even after epoxy has been cured in the hologram. In any mass production operation large baths may be mixed for rapid dip coating with ultraviolet curing steps in between.
DuPont has recently produced a new reflection holographic material designated only as an experimental acrylamide which is processed with only ultraviolet light and is generally hydrophobic. The DuPont media lacks index modulation unless treated with a solvent, however, the solvent treatment produces only temporary effects. GRACE 611, NOA or NOA-61 available from Norland Products, Inc., GRACE 15D, LIGHTWELD 401, LIGHTWELD 415 or LIGHTWELD 456 available from American Chemical and Engineering Company resins can be used to tune and stabilize this media. This material will respond to pure epoxy resin to some degree and if a change of greater magnitude is desired a very small amount of a diluent or solvent can be added to the resin. This material is easily destroyed by solvents so only small amounts of mild solvents such as ethanol should be used. For example, mixing 29-H diluent with equal parts of GRACE 611 and applying the solution evenly over the surface of the hologram with a bar will produce a large shift and a broader bandwidth. This mixture will take several minutes to go to completion with the desired frequency shift. If the frequency shift is not sufficient a small amount of ethanol such as five drops to a 1 milliliter mixture of diluent and GRACE 611 will improve the amount of the frequency shift. When the desired shift has been observed visually or with a spectrometer a rapid cure is needed using an industrial Xenon lamp from the Xenon Corporation rather than a mercury arc lamp. The LIGHTWELD 401 and 456 will also produce good results.
A method for shifting the wavelength of this newer DuPont material from blue to green or green to yellow is to evenly cover the surface of the hologram with LIGHTWELD 401 and apply a thin sheet of mylar over the coated hologram. When the entire hologram becomes green or if it began as green when it becomes yellow, a Xenon flash lamp is pulsed to set the resin. Once the desired color change has occurred very quick application of high intensity ultraviolet light is necessary. If the adhesive is left uncured for too long it will soften and match out the original hologram leaving only a clear piece of plastic behind. That is, the space between the Bragg planes becomes filled with index matching fluid and no index modulation remains.
In a PVK hologram media available from Allied Chemical Company and DCG hologram media available from Kind nd Knox, Inc. small tuning and bandwidth changes can be made. Both of these materials are prone to rapid collapse of their Bragg structures and as a result only small changes can be made. A mixture of one milliliters of MEK available from any hardware store and one milliliters of 29-H diluent or one milliliters of acetone and the same amount of diluent or either one milliliters of solvent and one milliliters of LIGHTWELD 401 will also produce a small change in wavelength when applied to these materials.
A small amount of MEK such as five drops in one milliliter of GRACE 611 is also useful in tuning PVK that has been broadbanded by severe shock drying. The noise created by the shock drying is reduced while preserving the Bragg structure. Small shifts toward the green portion of the spectrum can be obtained in the narrowband blue regions of the hologram with the same mixture.
Of the holograms processed in accordance with the present invention the most rugged and resistant to environmental fluctuations is the PVK material with the DuPont material being the most resistant to moisture but more rubbery and less versatile. The instabilities associated with DMP 28 including cracking and ultraviolet damage are alleviated using the techniques of the present invention. This technique can be used with other photopolymers and those developed in the future to tune and broadband these polymers when containing a volume phase recording.
The many features and advantages of the present invention are apparent from the detailed specification and thus it is intended by the appended claims to cover all such features and advantages of the invention which fall within the true spirit and scope thereof. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact method and apparatus described. Accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.

There was poor response to the Legislative Council elections in the Graduates constituency comprising Karimnagar, Adilabad, Medak and Nizamabad districts, with only 38.18 per cent registered.
This has been the lowest since 2007 when it was 64.30 per cent and 42.86 per cent in the Council by-elections of 2008. This caught the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) completely by surprise because it was sure that the 'strong Telangana sentiment' would ensure a good turnout of voters. It expected a record turnout of voters because of the Telangana sentiment and also because it fielded former TNGO leader K. Swami Goud, a man who was among those responsible for making the general strike in support of statehood a great success. TRS president K. Chandrashekhar Rao had also appealed to the electorate asking them to turn out in large numbers and vote for Mr. Goud.
Local aspirants disappointed
Several reasons are attributed to the low turnout of voters for the Graduates' constituency elections. The fielding of a non-local candidate by TRS disappointed local aspirants, who worked hard to enrol voters earlier, but remained idle without even distributing the voters' slips and guiding voter to the booths.
No motivation
Even the TRS candidate Mr. Goud did not show any interest in motivating voters to come to the polling stations by distributing voter slips. He was upbeat because there appeared to be no opposition to his candidature with only 15 Independents remaining in the fray.
It was surprising that the employees abstained from voting in spite of their former leader contesting the elections. The low percentage of polling recorded in the Graduates' constituency was attributed to the polling by the teaching community who actively participated in the election of Teachers constituency.
Record polling by teachers
On the other hand, there was record polling for the Karimnagar Teachers' constituency with an average of 89 percentage polling.
The candidates ensured that the teachers visited the polling stations to cast their votes by distributing slips and guiding them properly.
38.18 per cent polling recorded in Graduates constituency and 89 per cent in Teachers constituency

I have left Microsoft and this blog is no longer under my control. All of the content should remain for some time however and any new updates can be found at http://davedev.net.
-Dave, September 2013
Via DaveDev.net…
Recently I moved my old MSDN Blog to the new DaveDev.net url running hosted WordPress on Azure WebSites. Setting up the new blog couldn't have been more simple (hint – Click New – Compute – WebSites – Gallery – WordPress in the Azure Dashboard) and only took about five minutes.
The stuff that actually took the longest was customizing WordPress itself (themes, plugins, etc) , pointing the new Azure Website to a cname (davedev.azurewebsites.net to davedev.net) and then making sure I was backing up the MySQL Database. One of the areas that was not obvious to me however was how to send Emails.
Usually, if you sign up for WordPress from an online hoster or WordPress.com you will have an SMTP server set up for you which enables the wp_mail() function to automatically send Email on your behalf. This is not the case when you are running WordPress on Azure but the good news is there is a free solution via the Azure Marketplace.
The intent of this post is to walk you through the steps to get started with Email (it's a free service too) on your WordPress Azure Website instance.
WordPress offers a crazy amount of customizations so the first step you need to do is to decide how you want to enable people to contact me on my Blog. After sifting through a bunch of contact form plugins I decided on one that would allow me to add a new tab and a clean contact form.
Here is what the Contact Tab looks like now on my Blog in a typical desktop browser:
Clicking on Contact will take the blog visitor to a clean contact form where they can enter their name, email I can each them at and then their message.
Once they click send they will get a response message if their Email has been sent correctly back to me.
If you have tried adding a similar contact plugin to your Azure Websites hosted WordPress instance this is where you will first encounter problems. Any call to send wp_mail() will result in an error as the Azure instance doesn't know what SMTP server to use. I will cover that in a bit but first let's walk through what the generated Email will look like.
You can easily apply filters now to the incoming Blog Emails and when you hit Reply to the Email it will be sent to the Email address the Blog visitor filled out in your Contact Form.
So how did I go about creating the Contact Form and enable Emails? The first step was to install the plugin I wanted to use for Blog Feedback Emails. I chose Contact Form 7 and then activated the Form as seen below.
The Contact Form will add a new menu option in your WordPress Dashboard called Contact. Opening it up will show a new form called "Contact form 1" with some code in it.
I copied the code from the Contact Form 1 and pasted it into a new Page for my Blog called "Contact".
This is the Contact page you now see listed in my Blog's Tab Menu. Now that I have a Contact Form Up and running the next step was to sign up for an SMTP Service that would send Emails on my behalf.
In order for our Contact Page to send Emails we will need a SMTP Service. Luckily for us SendGrid offers just that and is part of the Azure Store.
Simply open up the Azure Dashboard, click New, select Store and then choose SendGrid from the App Services Add-ons list.
There is a completely free tier that will enable you to get (or blast out) up to 25,000 emails a month. That is more than enough for the purposes of a Feedback page on our Blog.
Like all products in the Azure Store billing is integrated with your Azure monthly Bill as is single sign on. I get complete status for the Sendgrid Service right from my Azure Dashboard and clicking on the SendGrid Name will take me to the SendGrid portal using my Azure credentials.
The only additional step needed is to verify your email address (which will be your Microsoft ID assigned to your Azure account). Once that is done be sure to copy over your SendGrid username and password right from the AppBar by clicking Connection Info.
You will also receive an Email from the Azure Store confirming your purchase of the SendGrid service using the free tier.
Now that we have a Contact Form set up, and the SendGrid SMTP Service enabled we need to update our WordPress Blog so that any calls to the wp_mail() function will be routed to our new SMTP Service.
There are a bunch of free WordPress plugins that will allow you to do this I chose to go with WP-Mail-SMTP.
This plugin will add a new Email option in the Settings menu for your WordPress Dashboard. This is where you can set up your From and Name for the Email. Make sure you select SMTP for Wordpress emails, and then enter your SendGird information as seen below. Make sure you use the smtp.sendgrid.net SMTP Host name and specify a port. I used 587 based on the SendGrid recommendations.
That's it! You can now send a Test message to yourself using the same settings page or go back to your Contact Form and send one from there. The only remaining recommendation I would have is to turn off new comment notifications inside your WordPress Dashboard. This is enabled by default but since my WordPress Azure Website instance could not send emails before I wasn't getting spammed. Once the SMTP Host was set up I started to get notified every time a spam comment came in and oh my there are a lot of those with WordPress.
Whether you are someone who leans more towards design or coding you have probably come across the need for some interesting fonts. Typography is a fascinating area with a long history dating back to the origins of print. When we look at creating an engaging user experience today we are often trying to make a connection with our audience. We "empathize" with our users needs and look to invoke certain feelings. Fonts can do that in amazing ways and its pretty easy to add them to your own applications.
The Microsoft Professional Developers Conference (PDC) site has a great art section where you can download wallpapers, blog bling and the font that they used. Maybe its because I'm such a video gamer but the font really connected with me and brought back memories of playing Wipeout and Star Trek.
I keep a local folder in my documents directory of all the fonts I have found intriguing. Most of these go into my applications or demos I do for that extra sparkle. You can keep them anywhere you would like however I just find this method the easiest to use. That way I can zip up all my fonts if I need to use them on a different machine.
Adding a font to Windows is as easy as double clicking on the filename. The Font Manager window will them pop up (Windows 7 is pictured) and you will be given some typography information as well as samples of the font at different sizes. Just click the install button and windows will register the font for use.
This means ALL windows programs will now have access to that font such as Microsoft Word. Keep in mind that custom fonts are not required to include both uppercase and lowercase. The PDC09 font (it's official name is Squared) only includes lowercase for example. So don't scratch your head when word tries to capitalize at the beginning of a sentence and you see invisible letters.
Now that we have made sure the font installed correctly it is time to add it to a Silverlight Application. In this example I am opening up Expression Blend 3, adding a simple gradient to the default grid layout and creating a TextBlock control. I then selected the newly installed squared font from the textbox text properties and added some colors I thought to be pleasing.
Keep in mind one of the amazing things about Blend is we are seeing in real time what our application looks like. This means for Silverlight the artboard is being rendered in Silverlight. While we are in design time it understands the selected fonts and displays them correctly. However if we run the application you will notice something happens.
This is where a lot of people get tripped up. The application compiled, the browser opened up and it looks nothing like what it did in my Blend design surface. So what is up?
It is important to remember one of the core design principles of Silverlight is a small download size. Every time you add a resource such as an image, a font, or a video the initial the size of your application will increase.
Luckily, Silverlight is really smart about this. It gives you the choice of not only which Fonts you wish to include in your application but also which parts of those fonts (Uppercase, Lowercase, etc.) giving you even more control over the size of your downloads. To bring up this menu simply click on the Font Manager button in the TextBlock text properties. As mentioned above the squared font doesn't use any uppercase which is why you will see the "S" missing. Blend tries to capitalize the first letter of all the fonts being listed.
You can see both the Font Manager button and the Embed checkbox (I circled it in red) in the artboard screenshot above. Keep in mind you do not have to select which pieces of the font to use Blend will automatically include all subsets of that font for you. It is only necessary to check off the Embed checkbox for the font to be included in your application.
Once you click the checkbox two things will happen. A new Fonts directory will be created in your application and the selected Font source file will be copied into it for you.
Blend will then modify the XAML source for your TextBlock to point to the newly installed Font resources in your project.
We are now ready to show off our finished product. Running the application will now show a correctly displaying TextBlock with the selected square font. Amazing how much of a difference fonts can make even on a plain piece of text.
This is a trick you can use in all of your applications moving forward whether it is WPF or Silverlight based Blend and Fonts have got your back.

I ran across this today and wanted to share the fix. I have seen it crop up both XAML/C# and HTML/JS projects and has to do more with how the app is registered.
The error appears when you attempt to debug your Windows 8 metro Style App you will be prompted with a dialog informing you the application could not be started.
Clicking on Yes for more information will show you the id of the Metro Style App and point you to the Debug->Windows->Output window. Unfortunately looking in the Output window doesn't give you much information either.
The goods news is the fix is simple! Simply exit out of Visual Studio 11 Beta and navigate to the solution file of your project. Once there delete everything inside of the bin folder.
Then open the project back up in Visual Studio 11 Beta and it should deploy correctly for debugging!

During the past couple of months I've been hacking around in the world of HTML5 Canvas and casual gaming. The community that has formed up around HTML5 Gaming in particular is awesome and I am continually impressed by what I've seen.
Not to mention I'm a big retro gaming fan – 8 bits anyone?
With that in mind I wanted to contribute back to the community if I could. I figured the best way I could do that was to take the experience I have writing Windows 8 Metro Style Apps and combine them with the world of HTML5 Canvas based gaming.
Things were super easy to bring over from a code perspective. All of my layout is done through CSS3 (including media queries for ViewState), the game loop is straight up HTML5 Canvas with requestAnimationFrame, the music uses HTML5 Audio Tags, and the sounds use third party JavaScript libraries like SoundJS.

FSAs are ideal for medical procedures that are not otherwise covered by medical insurance, such as LASIK. An FSA account is regulated by a "use it or lose it" rule, meaning that if the funds contributed to the FSA account are not spent by the end of the year, they are forfeited, so schedule your FREE LASIK consultation today and use your funds toward LASIK before they expire. Already used your FSA funds this year? During your consultation, we can help you plan for next year.
LASIK is an eligible medical expense which can be paid for using dollars from your Health Spending Account (HSA). An HSA is available to taxpayers who are enrolled in high-deductible health plans. HSAs are long-term plans, meaning the money you contribute can roll-over year-to-year. The benefits of an HSA are that they are tax-advantaged as the money you contribute to your HSA is deducted from your paycheck prior to taxes being deducted, and the money in the account earns interest. By using these tax-free dollars, you can save over $900 with no out-of-pocket expense. Schedule your FREE LASIK consultation today and use your HSA finds toward LASIK. During your consultation, we can help you determine the cost of your customized LASIK procedure so you know what to contribute toward your HSA.
Unlike many providers, LasikPlus is committed to your eyesight for the long haul.
Patients have the opportunity to select LasikPlus procedures that include 1 year of free post-operative examinations as well as free vision re-treatments that require greater than one diopter of correction. You can receive re-treatments, if needed, from any of our nationwide network of LASIK surgeons. With the LasikPlus Lifetime Advantage Plan, you can be confident in your vision for years to come.
Save with LasikPlus partners and affiliates.
Read what just a few of our 500,000+ happy patients have to say about LasikPlus.
I never really appreciated my adventures, like skydiving, snowboarding, and even dating because of my glasses. After LASIK, that was no longer a concern. All my sense are uninhibited. I no longer feel like I am getting a distorted view of the world that came with wearing glasses.
In September of 1988 I began the dreadful eyeglass journey. In 2005, I started the contact voyage. Dry contacts, lost contacts, expensive contacts so it wasn't much better. March 2008 was my LASIK journey - I will never forget it. I was nervous but it was great! It only took 20 minutes and the next day it was so clear, I can't describe it.
LasikPlus has been a life saver. I was recommended to LasikPlus by my best friend. The staff was so informative and kind. They really eased my mind. The procedure was quick and easy and the best part that I will never ever forget is waking up from a nice nap after the procedure, at home, and actually seeing the time on the cable box across the room for the first time in 15 years! I cried. I am so grateful to LasikPlus and I didn't even have to break the bank!
I have 20/20 vision now thanks to LasikPlus. The only regret I have is that I didn't have it done sooner. I used to wear glasses at home and contacts when going out and it was really a hassle.I decided to get LASIK after suffering from an eye infection. I had to put antibiotic eye drops 4 times a day for a few weeks and could not wear contacts.One of my friends mentioned that she got her LASIK surgery done by Dr. Pettinelli of LasikPlus and she loves it. That was it! I decided to set up a consultation and when they told me I am an "excellent" candidate, I went for the surgery that very same day, believe it or not! I just did not want to wait a day longer.
After years of wearing glasses and having headaches, I called LasikPlus. They treated me very nice. I was so scared, but the way that they talked to me and the doctor explained everything made me feel more confident to do it. It is the best thing that I have done for myself.
It is ridiculous that I waited so many years to finally correct my vision. This was the best money I ever spent!! I can't tell people enough how they NEED to not wait any longer and go get this done. With allergy season it was the BEST feeling in the world not to rip my contacts from rubbing my eyes so hard. Everyone needs to experience this!

Gesneriad Plant Show
The Puget Sound Gesneriad Society and the Seattle African Violet Society announce our annual combined show and sale.
When: Saturday, March 22, 2014
Where: Swanson's Nursery
9701 15th Ave NW
Seattle, WA 98117
Show Hours: Noon to 4 p.m.
Sales Hours: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
African Violets (Saintpaulia) are members of the large plant family, Gesneriads. A couple close relatives you might recognize are Sinningia speciosa (Florists' Gloxinia) and Streptocarpus (Cape Primrose). In spite of some pretty exotic looks, many Gesneriads readily grow under the same cultural conditions as African Violets.
This event offers the rare opportunity to buy plants from our members' private collections at very reasonable prices. There will be many plants in our judged show (likewise on the sales tables) you won't find in nurseries. Jump on this one! See you there.

Israeli rockets strike targets in Syria in retaliation for killing of teenagerJune 24, 2014 12:00 AM
Share with others:
JERUSALEM — Israeli warplanes and rockets struck nine targets in Syria early Monday in retaliation for a missile attack Sunday from Syria that killed an Israeli teenager and wounded his father along the border in the Golan Heights.
An Israeli Defense Forces spokesman said Monday that Israel fired guided missiles from the ground and rockets from the air that hit sites in Syria, including a military command headquarters. The Israelis would not say where in Syria the targets were located.
Over the past three years, Israel has attacked weapon transfers in Syria that it says were intended for the Lebanon-based Shiite military wing of Hezbollah. Israel also has fired at Syrian army targets after cross-border fire originated in Syria.
While the Syrian government did not comment on the airstrikes Monday, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 10 Syrian soldiers had been killed. The organization's Rami Abdurrahman said the Israeli strikes had destroyed two tanks, two artillery batteries and the headquarters of Syria's 90th brigade, The Associated Press reported.
On Sunday, the Israeli teenager was killed and two other civilians were injured in what the Israeli military called an intentional cross-border attack from Syria into the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.
The attack was the most substantial incident on Israel's border with Syria since the conflict in that country erupted more than three years ago, said Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman. The Israeli army responded with tank fire on Syrian military targets across the border.
"This is not a case of errant fire, but of an intentional attack," Col. Lerner said. He said an antitank missile was fired, but that it was still unclear who was behind the attack. Both the Syrian army and rebel groups fighting the government of President Bashar al-Assad are said to be stationed in the area.
Israeli news media identified the teenager as Mohammed Karaka, 13, from the Galilee village of Arraba. His father, a worker contracted by Israel's Defense Ministry, had been delivering water to a construction site near the border fence when their vehicle was struck, the army said.
On Sunday afternoon, the Israeli army filed a formal complaint with the U.N. peacekeeping force stationed along the Israeli-Syrian border, claiming that the incident was in breach of the cease-fire agreement between the two sides. Israel has administered the Golan Heights since capturing the territory from Syria in 1967.syria - israel - United States military - United States government - Middle East - Bashar Assad - Syria government - Israeli armed forces - Israel government - Syrian armed forces

Texas officer struck by deputy during pursuit
Officer Donny Rocha Jr. was struck by the deputy's truck while engaged in a foot pursuit
By Anum Valliani
NewsWest 9
ODESSA, Texas — They say it all started with street racing, something residents on 8th Street and Overton are used to.
But a high speed car chase ending there on Saturday night proved dangerous for one officer and it wasn't because of the racers. Officer Donny Rocha Jr. was struck by a deputy's truck. One witness described what he saw leading up to that moment.
"They had been chasing him from 42nd Street. They had been racing and I guess he was trying to get away. [The police] had put spikes right down the street and they popped his tire," he said. The man did not want to disclose the driver's name.
