Numeric field: When using a mobile, numeric fields will force numeric keyboardAsked by emilevdende on April 18, 2013 at 04:58 AM
I would like my forms numeric fields to force showing up the numeric keypad in iOS. The forms I use are mainly opened on iOS devices, therefore I would really like the numeric keypad on the iPad to show up as soon as you reach a field that can only contain numbers.
Is there any way to do this?
Unfortunately, there is no option to do this. I will try to submit this to our feature request list and hopefully, our developers can integrate this in the future.
Thank you.
Hi, thanks for your reply.
I did manage to achieve this by changing the input type of the field from "text" to "number".
This does require to modify the source code, but it works :)
Maybe your developers can make sure that when a field is set to numeric content as validation, that this forces a "number" input type?
JotForm Support
Hi Emile,
Thank you for updating us. And we're glad to know that you were able to find a work around using the source code.
BUT did you know also that, you do not have to use the source code to change the validation property of a text box field from text/char type to numeric type?
The validation property of a textbox input field does this already. You only have to specify the data type you want the field to accept.
So, if you set the textbox field to numeric, even though it is not yet capable of calling the numeric keypad.. the form will not be able to submit without correcting the validation issue on the textbox field. This will force the form user to always use the correct type of data to input.
My colleague moonzkie already submitted a request feature using your suggestion.
You will be notified via this thread once new updates about this feature is available.
Hi Jonathan,
My idea was to help out the user by showing a contextual aware keypad. So it's not really about validating the input, but more about supporting the input when it's actually done.
Thanks for your reply!
JotForm Support
Hi Emile,
You are right on spot, on the contextual awareness idea. That is much better indeed.
Thank you for explaining further.
JotForm Support
I have cancelled your request because the Number field (under Quick Tools) already does this. Number fields have the attribute type="number", so everytime it gets focus on a mobile device, the numeric keypad automatically comes up.
Please let us know if you have other questions or concerns.

The Myakka pedigree
18 years of beautifully designed fair trade furniture, forest care and fast delivery.
Practical and beautiful
The first product we purchased from Myakka. Great addition to our home and was so inspired, ordered other furniture to match. PLEASE MAKE A MATCHING TALL HIFI UNIT, AS THE ONE WE HAVE DOES NOT MATCH THE REST OF OUR LOVELY MYAKKA FURNITURE!
Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes
Pleased customer
I'm so pleased with the Jasmeen coffee table I purchased last week. It looks very classy in the lounge and is a perfect size and height.It is difficult to find a coffee table which isn't too large and dominates the room.The service from Myakka was excellent.The table was out of stock when I ordered it but I was kept up to date and delivery was as promised in October. This is the second product I've ordered from them and will do so again.
Would you recommend this to a friend? No
Good table and excellent service
a sturdy coffee table and not too huge as many other seem to be.. Easy to assemble. although Allen key needed to be bigger - Myakka are on to this. Company were excellent in dealing with a small bit of damage to a bit of the leg. I am not one for regularly doing reviews or raving about a piece of functional furniture but they seem to be a company with good quality, ethical products and very good customer service. So good we ordered a second of these tables for another room. So would recommend them and this little coffee table.
Would you recommend this to a friend? Yes

text: As these two smartphone titans continue to duke it out, stock traders may be tempted to try and pick favorites. However, due to the specific focus of QQQ and EWY, long-term minded ETF investors can have it both ways. Apple may dominate QQQ's index, but the fund has proved in the past to be an attractive option and suitable choice for those looking to construct a solid core. At this time, I hold the fund in a number of my client portfolios. Meanwhile, when used in small doses, EWY can be a suitable tactical holding when attempting to take aim at stable members of the developing world. With smartphones becoming increasingly engrained into our everyday lives, companies like Apple, Samsung, Google, and Microsoft appear to be in a strong position to benefit. Utilizing ETFs, it is possible to follow this exciting development while, at the same time maintaining a well-balanced portfolio. Written by Don Dion in Williamstown, Mass.

text: Washington (ANI): Anne Hathaways former boyfriend Raffaello Follieri has been placed under home detention in New York and his bail is set at 21 million dollars. The 29-year-old Italian businessman appeared in Manhattan federal court in New York to answer charges of wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering, reports Usmagazine.com. Prosecutors argued that they had overwhelming evidence that Follieri improperly spent up to 6 million dollars from investors to live a lavish lifestyle. Follieri was placed under home detention with an electronic monitoring device and may only leave his apartment for legal, medical or religious reasons. Follieri and Hathaway are said to have dated for about four years and broke up earlier this month.

The Punishment of Perv-Boy! (成敗!変態少年 Seibai! hentai shonen?) is the 361st chapter of the manga. It is also the second chapter of the Battle of the Busts Arc.
Ranma goes clothes shopping with Nodoka and Akane while trying to avoid being discovered in her male self.
Plot OverviewEdit
Continued from Previous ChapterEditRanma and Akane stare quietly at each other not knowing what to do. Just as Ranma apologizes Akane slaps him while covering herself with the other hand. Nodoka then calls out to her to see if she's alright. Ranma frantically climbs over the wall as Nodoka peeks through the curtain to check. Upon climbing over to the other side, he finds it occupied by a large old woman taking off her top and climbs back over to Akane's side. Akane has to quickly close the curtain to prevent Nodoka from looking inside. She whispers him to get out and Ranma tells her that he's trying and doesn't want to look at her modest chest anyway.
Suddenly Nodoka hears a loud thud from inside and Akane comes out fully dressed. Nodoka quickly inspects the changing room but doesn't find anything suspicious. Unknown to her, Akane had smashed Ranma's body into the ceiling. She walks up to a vase nearby and throws it at the ceiling to turn Ranma back into a girl while Nodoka remained distracted. They meet up later to have dessert.
Nodoka is concerned about Ranko, seeing her frequently disappear and fighting Akane. She then thinks that there might be a possible connection between the noises she heard in the changing room and Ranko's disappearance. While she is distracted by this, a waitress carrying hot soup trips and changes Ranma yet again. He moves over to the next booth and splashes himself with a cup of ice water and returns. Nodoka is none the wiser but notices the stains on Ranma's shirt so she decides to go buy her some new clothes.
Shopping ContinuesEdit
They go to a lady's clothing store and pick out a new outfit. Akane compliments Ranma by saying she looks very lady-like. The store had a promotional game that offered a trip to a health salon. Akane wins it and shows it to Ranma. She looks through brochure and mentions that there is also a treatment for breasts which she tells Akane she can use. Akane steps on her head and tells Nodoka that she will be heading home before and takes off. As Nodoka and Ranma watch her from the store, Nodoka asks if she and Ranma had a fight. Ranma then realizes that Akane might be mad at her.Ranma and her mother pay a visit to the trip that Akane had won. Nodoka chooses the hot water treatment for Ranma and tells her that she will be waiting outside. Ranma has no choice but to put on a towel and play along. When Ranma walks in, she sees an empty room with a body marking on the wall with a water gun aimed at it. As soon as the door closes, Ranma removes the towel and quickly puts on the clothes she had and opens the window to escape. Just as she is ready to leave, the water jet activates and bathes her in hot water.
In the lobby, Nodoka is reading a magazine wondering where Ranko had gone. She then sees a male figure running outside wearing the clothes she bought for Ranko. Ranma doesn't want to be seen as some kind of pervert crossdresser so he leaves the clothes behind and runs home in his underwear.
Pervert BoyEdit
Back home, Ranma is just relieved that he's home. Nodoka comes by and he's forced to douse himself in cold water. She shows Ranma her clothes and asks what happened. Ranma is unable to come up with an excuse when Nabiki chimes in. She fabricates a story about a pervert crossdresser who came into the room and stole Ranma's clothes before running off. Ranma is not happy with the story but Nodoka buys it. She unsheathes the katana saying the pervert must be punished. Ranma follows Nabiki out to talk to her and Nabiki tells her that Akane came home upset and it's probably her fault.
Meanwhile, Akane is in her room lifting a dumbbell. Around her room are various magazines and beauty products on increasing bust size. Ranma comes up from behind and inadvertently surprises her and Akane hits him with the dumbbell for not knocking first. He tells her that he came to apologize, which gets her attention. After apologizing, he can't help but to ask exactly what he said to make her angry and Akane gives him a beating for not knowing.Kasumi and Nodoka are downstairs having a cup of tea when they hear the commotion above. She makes her way to Akane's room and hears a man's voice. Nodoka looks through the crack and grabs Ranma's pig-tail, recognizing it as belonging to the pervert-boy that stole Ranko's clothes. She unsheathes her blade to punish him.
Cast in Order of AppearanceEdit
- Akane Tendo
- Ranma Saotome (male)
- Nodoka Saotome
- Ranma Saotome (female)
- Nabiki Tendo
- Kasumi Tendo

As crisis is currently rocking the major opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) with Ali Modu Sheriff at loggerheads with Ahmed Markafi over the position of the national chairman of the party, an interview which was published few months ago has revealed that PDP's predicament might be a prophecy coming to pass.
Below is the excerpt of the interview granted by Bornu State Governor, Kashim Shettima on April 2nd, 2016.
What is your reaction to the emergence of your predecessor, Senator Ali Modu Sheriff as the national chairman of the PDP and his vow to kick out the APC from power in 2019?
His Excellency, Senator Ali Sheriff is my boss and is someone that I am eternally indebted to. I always tend to shy away from commenting on issues directly involving him. He is a very consummate politician who is presiding over a dead horse, and I am absolutely certain that he will see to the total annihilation of the PDP. The PDP is an idea whose time has elapsed. The mind disturbing revelations about how funds meant to acquire weapons to prevent Boko Haram insurgents from their scales of murder, were siphoned is enough to erase the PDP from the minds of the party's founding fathers, those who drafted it's constitution and those who designed the party's if they have conscience. I don't see majority of good Nigerians ever accepting the PDP again except perhaps, a different political affiliation but certainly not PDP as it is known.
Given his antecedents, do you expect to politically engage him in the immediate future?
My boss is a very consummate politician, he can survive in any political terrain. He will certainly find his way and will successfully destroy the PDP to the better glory of the APC.

At first glance, the simple and light organization of 'Cinderella' was a surprise. It's definitely different from (Yonghwa's) previous style of composition that used to build the emotions in the beginning and pour them out resolutely toward the end. But it's a fathomable direction if one remembers 'Can't Stop' which had confirmed Jung Yonghwa's potential as a songwriter, and his solo album that launched him as a wide-ranging pop musician. (In fact, the potential as a pop band was already revealed in singles released in Japan such as 'feeling' and 'In My Head,' but it seems that the timing was off due to circumstances.) Anyhow, as an album that proclaims pop overall, it showcases diverse genres and approaches, fitting well into the current scene as a result. In 'Hide and Seek,' cliched chorus is eliminated and makes way for trendy brass grooves and fluent melody. As for the retro-style 'Catch Me,' Jung Yonghwa's signature chorus melody boasts its heavy texture. The explicit attempt at transformation in terms of composition and arrangement in 'Domino' is rather refreshing. Next time, can I expect music akin to Passion Pit or M83?
Rock, gayo, and dance music all have their own languages. This album sets its foot between those uneasy cleavages. It's not because some of the tracks have embraced "some elements from dance music," but it comes from the texture of the approach. Rather than desiring to be acknowledged as rock music, it seems as though they've already worn "rock" clothes long enough to be familiar with it, then "returned" to gayo elements. Thanks to this, some songs display the old vibes that resemble previous trials of "rock band's gayo," but it works unaffectedly instead of the "this sells" type of discomfort. It's also interesting how the gayo elements of this album rather sound nonchalant rather than employed for popular appeal or an "edgy," hybrid element.

This has now become a clip-on drybag for other small items. The dimensions are deceiving. It is important that you only buy this drybag for thin phones (I'd even suggest changing the title to iPhone4 drybag). With the removable padding this bag is still very thin in depth. My Blackberry torch 9800 fits in length and width dimensions but its thickness makes it unable to fit. Screens are still fully functional beneath the plastic shield of the bag (both tapping and swiping) and the bag seals securely.

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
Review by unBanOurTheTP
"after the hype: an unbiased look at Uncharted 2"
I finally got around to finishing a game hailed as GOTY by many, and I must say I am not impressed.
Let's start with the beginning. The climbing mechanics make platforming very easy, so easy in fact that it is impossible to die while doing it, unless you cannot see the next ledge. Also, has anyone noticed how inconsistent Drake's jumping is? If it's to a designated ledge, he can fly half way across a map. If it's to somewhere you'd like to be, he jumps like George Costanza in Seinfeld. We get to climb a large train, and it's very mundane to do so. This could be the worst opening level of all time. Luckily, it's so incredibly easy, you won't have to die and do it again. Then a bunch of stuff happens that will likely be important later.
Next we play Ocean's Eleven. Drake insists on using tranquilizers, because he doesn't want to kill any of the guards. He then proceeds to throw them off a building from several hundred feet above jagged cliffs, so clearly his morals are short-term.
OMG - heel turn! Nobody saw this coming! Oh wait...I did, from a mile away. Thieves like those two will not stick together.
Now we have the main bad guy for our little tale. We can tell he's a bad guy because he's not a space marine and he has a ton of scars. A hero will usually have just one scar, across one of his eyes.
Oh look, the girl has to make it look like she's on their side, but totally didn't turn. Now she's being taken to a train.
Now I didn't realize this train was the polar express, running all the way from the amazon to the north pole. This game reminds me of Ninja Gaiden 3, in that the level sequencing is clearly just to show off "let's design a kick ass snow level!" (irony: the snow level was very uninspired...nothing standout about it, other than snow physics) and the sequence does not make sense.
Oh goody, I get to do that terrible level a second time. Once wasn't enough. For some reason, immediately after I kill all the bad guys (despite not being shot) I am now selling an injury. Why did I no-sell while I was being attacked? Am I Hulk Hogan here?
The treasures are hanging on walls now? I have to look up and down if I want to find them all? Wonderful.
Hey, you know what sucked about the first game? When you had to fight those zombies. Nobody liked them, they added a stupid twist to the story and nobody liked them. If they change one thing in the sequel (I have not noticed any differences other than treasures hanging on walls now) I hope it's getting rid of the stupid enemies that make no sense.
*goes to Tibet* Nope. In this section, Drake continually asks his non-English-speaking guide questions. He then proceeds to have stupid remarks, such as "yeah, exactly what I was thinking" and "I still don't understand you."
...he's definitely not bright, at all
Oh look, what kids across the street built earlier today with snow are attacking me. I guess there will be vampires in the inevitable third game. By the way, by this point they got tired of trying to remember the exact same dynamic between Drake and Elena is actually between Drake and Chloe, so they reintroduced Elena. She's one of those reporter-nurses you see so often.
Some nice backgrounds here...if you didn't like the pacing from the first game, it's wave-after-wave of enemies for the last 10 chapters or so, just like in the first game.
Now we follow those snowmen and scar-sy into Shambhala. It looks like a paradise, if paradise were infested with both idiots and abominable snowmen. Here we obtain the crossbow for the first time (where I picked it up)...making this the first new gun in the game that I have seen. That's pretty weak.
Shambhala follows the predictable path: wave after wave of shootan'. I just finished it and can't think of anything memorable here.
Oh noes, Elena will die! I totally bet she will!
I will give them credit here: at least the end boss is not a giant QTE like in the first game. Sure, he's boring and no fun, but it's a step up from Heavy Uncharted.
improvements from the first game: tacked-on multiplayer, one (1) new gun, pain in the ass system of hiding treasures, that incredibly irritating "run towards the screen" gimmick several times
things that should have been improved upon, but were either ignored or amplified: taking ten steps and triggering a cutscene, terrible pacing, awful headshot detection (I know I did one where it didn't count it...it must be the PS3's fault), platforming is still essentially automatic and some ledges are even harder to see here since parts of it are so dark
On a side note, did anyone else wish the puzzles were a little difficult? They were all too easy, especially with the "watch the puzzle solve itself" button (up on the d-pad) that most trolls criticized NSMBWii for having.
The game was alright for a once through, but I am not sure I'll go back to play it on Crushing. I give it a solid 6.0/10 - 6.5/10, which is 1.5 lower than the first game gets. The first game gets the benefit of being a new IP, and the second one is hurt by not improving so many lacking problems in the first. The BGM in the first game is also hands down the best BGM in music (off the top of my head), whereas the second one does not have anything memorable for music.
Pros: amazing visuals, high production values
Cons: pretty well everything else
Buy Uncharted 1 instead. It's cheaper and better.

How Safe Are Your Kids Around Water?
Teaching Australian children to Swim and Survive
South Coast Junior Aquatics Warrnambool works together with Royal Life Saving to teach children valuable life-skills in swimming, water safety and personal survival.
Over the past 10 years, drowning has claimed the lives of 138 children between the ages of 5 and 14 years. Tragically, each of these deaths represents a family that is grieving a much loved son, daughter, grandchild, niece or nephew. The impact of drowning affects the entire community.
With summer around the corner parents and carers need to be planning for their children's swimming and water safety education. Leanne Williams, owner of South Coast Junior Aquatics in Warrnambool asks parents to think carefully about their child's water safety skills and to make plans for swimming and water safety lessons. "Like reading and writing, swimming skills need to be introduced and practiced from an early age. Children need to be given the opportunity to become familiar with water at the baby, toddler and pre-school stage. Waiting until children are five or six years old can result in children developing a fear of water that is very hard to overcome. The unfortunate consequence of leaving water familiarisation too late is the creation of anxious children."
Every Australian child must have the opportunity to learn basic swimming, water safety skills and knowledge of how to be safe when they are in, on, or around the water.
Royal Life Saving research shows one in five children will leave primary school every year without the skills to swim 50 metres or stay afloat for two minutes, even if their life depended on it.
"It's alarming that Australian children don't have the foundation skills and water safety knowledge to keep them safe in and around the water. As a Swim and Survive Partner we strive to enhance the swimming and water safety skills of children in our community, to prevent drowning now and in the future. We are proud to be a Royal Life Saving Partner," says Leanne.
Swim and Survive is a national swimming and water safety initiative of Royal Life Saving that teaches children essential life-skills in swimming, water safety and personal survival. Swim and Survive's unique program pathway progresses through each of the key life stages and is designed to keep children engaged, actively learning and most importantly having fun.
"We live in a country surrounded by water. Building partnerships with aquatic facilities such as is an important part of our drowning prevention strategy. Arming children with water safety skills and knowledge during their school years provides a level of protection, reducing the likelihood of drowning in adulthood" said Sheila Langley, Coordinator of Aquatic Education at Life Saving Victoria.
A Swim and Survive Partner is a preferred, quality deliverer of the Swim and Survive program that works together with Royal Life Saving to deliver key water safety messages. Swim and Survive Partners work hard to engage their communities in water safety education, by providing opportunities for children and their families to participate in a range of aquatic activities.

Amon is the central antagonist in The Legend of Korra, and is the leader of the anti-bending group known as the Equalists who aim to rid the world of benders.
I've placed the references for my theory below the theory itself. I hope you enjoy the read, and as always please leave your responses and opinions in a comment below. I'll try to read as many as possible. :)
At the ending of the second season of Avatar: The Last Airbender, Aang was attacked with a bolt of lighting from Azula. After being attacked, we see Aang's Avatar Spirit fall from the plane of existence and Aang is essentially dead. At this time Aang was 12 years of age. Shortly after being 'killed', Aang is revived by Katara when she uses her Spirit Oasis water to heal him and restore his life. In the short time in which Aang was dead the Avatar Spirit would have been transferred to a newborn child because as soon as an Avatar dies a new Avatar is born. This makes the replacement for Aang 12 years younger than Aang. But because Aang was revived the Avatar Spirit wouldn't have completely transferred to the new Avatar forming an incomplete Avatar.
Aang died at 66 years of age. Because the incomplete Avatar was born when Aang was 12, he would have been 54 when Aang died. When Aang died however we know that the Avatar Spirit was transferred to Korra, who is now 17 years of age. Since Korra was a newborn and has grown to 17 years of age, this would make the incomplete Avatar 71 years of age currently ((66 - 12) + 17). The age of this incomplete Avatar is possibly the largest flaw in my theory.
When we see Amon fight he uses quick and agile movements to evade the attacks of his foes. The same kinds of movements are used when Tenzin is fighting and using Airbending. Korra is also taught similar movements by Tenzin when she is being trained as an Airbender. By looking at these movements used by these three people, I'm going to assume that Amon knows some form of Airbending (even if he only knows as much as Korra and can only use the movements).
So now going back to episode 44 of the old series. It is possible that when Aang was attacked with a bold of lightning from Azula, and essentially killed, the Avatar Spirit was transferred to another newborn child, in this case being Amon. Amon received the Avatar Spirit and firstly received the ability to Airbend since that was the ability that Aang was born with. But because Aang was then revived by Katara with the Spirit Oasis water, the Avatar Spirit was not completely transferred into Amon. Because of this, when Korra was born the Avatar Spirit only gave Korra the ability to Waterbend, Earthbend and Firebend because Airbending had already been given to Amon. Thus, the Avatar Spirit could have been split into two separate Avatar's.
As Korra said in the first few episodes, the elements of Water, Earth and Fire came so easily to her and yet she's never been able to Airbend even with training from Tenzin. This could be because she is literally unable to Airbender because it's not a part of her Avatar Spirit, but instead Amon's since it has been divided amongst them.
This also explains why Amon can permanently remove people's bending. At the end of episode 3, Tenzin says that only the Avatar has ever possessed this ability. But when we look back at the previous series, the Lion Turtle said that everybody used to bend the energy within themselves (Energybending). This change could be due to three reasons:
- 1) The creators stupidly forgot what they said in the previous series.
- 2) Aang kept the fact that everybody used to Energybend a secret from the world to stop it spreading.
- 3) The creators decided to take Energybending in a different direction in this series because they wanted it to only be able to be used by the Avatar, or in this case Avatar's.
When you think about it, if they've changed the laws of Energybending so that only the Avatar can use it as clearly stated by Tenzin, then it makes sense that Amon is also an Avatar and that the Avatar Spirit is divided amongst Korra and Amon because that would mean they both retain the ability to use Energybending and therefore can remove a persons bending permanently.
Now we are going to skip a few episodes forward to when Korra is being locked away by Tarrlok. When Korra is escaping the cell and the Equalists, and bursts out the door of the cabin, she creates a mist of snow to help her escape from Amon. We then see Amon jump high into the air and burst through the snowy mist, surrounded by what appears to be rings of air. This could simply just be to add effect to Amon's agile skills, but could also be hinting towards the fact that Amon is an Airbender.
To conclude this theory, I'm going to look forward to this Saturday's season finale and make a small prediction. The trailer concludes with Amon, Korra and Mako inside what is speculated to be an Equalist hideout. Amon has his fingers placed upon Korra's head as if he is about to remove her bending. Assuming both Amon and Korra share the Avatar Spirit, the outcome could vary. Amon could end up with either the rest of the Avatar Spirit within Korra, or their Avatar Spirit's could swap between then. This would leave Korra with the ability to Airbend, and Amon with the ability to use Waterbending, Earthbending and Firebending.

Help! I've been trying to find a white cake recipe to replicaate a local bakery that went out of business a few years back. I'm looking for a rather dense white cake with a very fine crumb that is somewhat dry. Either you love this cake or hate it (I love it, husband does not).
Any ideas?

Several clustering approaches, following different strategies, have been published to attack this problem. Today, new sequencing technologies provide huge amounts of sequence data that has to be efficiently clustered with constant or increased accuracy, at increased speed. Results: We advocate that the model of weighted cluster editing, also known as transitive graph projection is well-suited to protein clustering. We present the FORCE heuristic that is based on transitive graph projection and clusters arbitrary sets of objects, given pairwise similarity measures. In particular, we apply FORCE to the problem of protein clustering and show that it outperforms the most popular existing clustering tools (Spectral clustering, TribeMCL

One of the best all-rounders from the Indian cricket team Ravindra Jadeja has misled some of the major rules of cricket rule book. He has to pay fine of half of his match fee because of breaking terms of the protected area of the pitch on the second day of the third test of India-Newzealand series.
When the first inning of India was going on, Jadeja got two two informal and a single formal warning regarding running on the pitch. Now on the fourth time when he found running in the protected area of the pitch, he fined 50% of his match fee.
And the outcome may be serious enough that he could be banned from the India-Newzealand test series.

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick made headlines on Tuesday by taking on the NFL's sideline tablets, vowing to stop using them due to intermittent problems with the devices.
Saints head coach Sean Payton's only quibble with the Microsoft Surface tablets is minor.
"Inside, they've functioned," Payton said. "Outside, it's more challenging, just because of the glare."
The tablets represent an advance in the use of film and pictures on the sideline. Ideally, the tablets would allow coaches and players to eventually look at film of the previous drive as soon as a player gets to the sideline, something quarterback Drew Brees has advocated for getting in the past.
For Payton, the glare is a minor issue.
"You guys all look at your phones once in a while, any type of sunny day, you're looking down. ... The consistency comes with the prints, the pictures," Payton said. "I don't see it being a big story."

There are lots of great stories about more precious things linked up on Sian's blog. Go and have a read - you won't be disappointed!
Until next time...
Susan :-)
How lovely that you still have Freddy - and that he was the only thing you saved all those years ago too.ReplyDelete
Love seeing Freddy again. Great story and I have no recollection of Mom's cleaning threat. I guess I didn't save a thing! LOL You were an awesome crafter for the age of 8 and Freddy has stood the test of time. He really is very cute even if he came from an old pilly polyester sock. ;)ReplyDelete
He is soooo cute!!! nice story LOL. Who's sock? dbnlReplyDelete
What a great story! You really were a talented crafter even at that age..he has so much personality sewn in there, it's easy to see. He looks like he is excited to remember his trip out for the day if you ask me :)ReplyDelete

A nice story as your mother was kind not to throw out anything, where as your cousins were not so lucky as their dad did throw out Donna's Raggdy Ann doll, her Lambie Pie animal and her doll stroller. David's garage is all that I remember which he had a temper and bashed it in himself and with Rob I am not sure but I think it was his horse that you ride at the end of a stick and other things of the boys. I myself was so devastated with their loss as they did not clean up the basement when told to do on a Saturday when I was away from the house.
A great story and wonderful that you still have Freddy!ReplyDelete
He definitely looks well loved!ReplyDelete
Such a lovely story and Freddy is so cute!ReplyDelete

Leave Group
Expand Messages
- I've tried to leave the group via the method the program offers but
it's the strangest thing. There is a box about 5 x 3 inches that
appears at the bottom of my screen when I scroll down to click
on "Leave Group." By the time I get back to the top of the screen and
the message "Do you want to leave group?," the box pops up and covers
the choice "Yes" or whatever it is because I never get to see it.
Please be kind enough to remove me from your list from your end. I
would appreciate it very much.
This is totally bizarre. I wonder if anyone else has the problem?

Today, a photograph coming out of Taiwan allegedly shows us the dual camera system for the iPhone 7 Plus in all of its glory. The module contains two camera lenses, one on the left slightly larger in size than the other. Similar (but not exactly the same) parts have been discovered on other social media sites.
Now, we've asked you before to be cynical, or take certain stories with a grain of salt, and we ask you to do the same here. After all, there are no markings to indicate that any of the parts seen in the slideshow are actually intended for a special version of the iPhone 7 Plus. But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't expect to see two camera lenses staring back at us on the rear of some models of the iPhone 7 Plus once the phone is unveiled this coming September.
The dual camera technology used by Apple for the iPhone 7 Plus could come from its acquisition last year of Israel's LinX. The technology offered by this company allows smartphones to produce photos with the quality of an SLR camera. The two lenses combine to provide a depth of field that can be used to produce 3D imaging.
Various leaks allegedly show off dual camera module for special edition of the Apple iPhone 7 Plus

A survey by the traffic information service Keepmoving found drivers using the motorway eastbound were the most likely to encounter delays.
Researchers measured the speed of cars during both the morning and evening rush hour during April.
It found drivers faced an 85% chance of being stuck in queues at peak times.
Roads around London, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow were looked at during the month of April.
The survey measured the speed of cars at three minute intervals between the rush hours of 7.30am to 8.30am and 5pm and 6pm to calculate the percentage time drivers were stuck in traffic jams.
Five stretches of road on the M8 featured among the worst spots for congestion in the UK, with delays most likely at junction 16 Cowcaddens and at junction 20 on the Kingston Bridge.
Road pricing
Alex Petrie, product director of Keepmoving, said the issue of road pricing was brought into sharp focus by the study.
He said: "Our research highlights the exasperation felt by long-suffering commuters in Glasgow, where the M8 causes chronic delays.
"The debate over road pricing becomes even more pressing if you consider the amount of time and money drivers waste in traffic."
Last week it was revealed that motorists travelling between Glasgow and Edinburgh on the M8 could take longer to reach their destination than those diverting an extra 25 miles through Falkirk.
Researchers found that commuters could save up to one hour per week using the alternative route.
Neil Greig of the IAM Motoring Trust said that the study confirmed that the M8 was unable to cope with the volume of traffic at peak times.

Rural by Design
Maintaining Small Town Character
By Randall Arendt
Conventional planning techniques just aren't working in many rural and suburbanizing areas. Developments where people merely exist have replaced neighborhoods where people once thrived. Strip malls and checkerboard subdivisions prevail. Randall Arendt argues convincingly that this scenario is not inevitable. In Rural by Design he advocates creative, practical land-use planning techniques to preserve open space and community character. He shows how developments all across America have used these techniques successfully.
This book examines a broad spectrum of nitty-gritty design topics in a lively, readable style. Topics range from sewage disposal and farmland preservation to greenway planning for interconnected open space and the design of rural subdivision streets. The book includes numerous case examples of residential, commercial, and mixed-use projects that have used these innovative design techniques. And it takes an in-depth look at the design elements of the traditional town-and how to reinvent those elements in today's communities.
Rural by Design appeals to a wide audience. Planners in small towns as well as rural and suburbanizing areas will find practical information to guide them on the job. Planning board members and interested laypeople will find a highly readable, nontechnical reference. And instructors in planning and allied fields will find a valuable textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses.

The recent surge in competition between state and private firms in global markets calls for a reflection on how to minimise any potentially distortionary effects on international trade and investment created by state enterprises while at the same time restraining any undue protectionist policy responses directed at them.
This report provides an overview of frameworks and experience in Latin America and internationally in dealing with the challenges associated with corporate governance of company groups. It describes their economic rationale, benefits and relevance in Latin America, and how they are defined, overseen and regulated. It also delves into some of the risks and more specific challenges involved in ensuring protection of minority shareholder rights and managing or minimising conflicts of interest within groups. It notes the rising importance of Latin American-based multinational company groups. Finally, it reviews existing international and regional guidance on corporate governance of company groups before assessing the more specific policy options and challenges in the region, and describing the conclusions reached by the Latin American Corporate Governance Roundtable and Task Force on Company Groups based on this report's findings. Country-specific chapters provide more specific descriptions of the frameworks in place for corporate governance of company groups in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru.
This report reviews the rationales offered by national governments for including or maintaining certain corporate assets in state ownership. Drawing from responses from 24 countries to a questionnaire based on the OECD Guidelines on Corporate Governance of State-Owned Enterprises (the "Guidelines"), the report aims to provide guidance to authorities seeking to reform or review their ownership policies. It does so, first, by providing provides an inventory of national practices regarding the application of the Guidelines recommendation that governments should develop and issue an ownership policy that defines the overall objectives of state ownership, the state's role in the corporate governance of state-owned enterprises (SOEs), and how it will implement its ownership policy. Second, the report illustrates how the state enterprise ownership policy is applied in situations where new SOEs are created, or when the state decides to terminate its enterprise ownership. The report was reviewed by the OECD Working Party on State Ownership and Privatisation Practices, which oversees implementation of the Guidelines, and is current as of October 2014.
The objective of the Policy Framework for Investment (PFI) is to mobilise private investment that supports steady economic growth and sustainable development, contributing to the economic and social well-being of people around the world. Drawing on international good practices, the PFI proposes guidance in policy fields critically important for improving the quality of a country's enabling environment for investment. It encourages policy makers to ask appropriate questions about their economy, their institutions and their policy settings to identify priorities, to develop an effective set of policies and to evaluate progress. First developed in 2006, the PFI was updated in 2015 to take into account feedback from numerous users at country and regional levels, as well as changes in the global economic landscape.

The Coolest Cases of CES 2013
This year, CES was bursting with iPhone and iPad cases, running the gamut from purely bedazzled covers to useful audio-enhancing enclosures. Here are the best cases we spotted at the show.
Awe-inspiring Ultra HDTVs and high-profile products like Nvidia's Project Shield garnered the most oohs and ahs at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, but there was no denying the overwhelming presence of third-partyiPhone cases and iPad cases on the show's floors. Whether it was Speck's spectacle of a booth or up-and-coming newbies, the C in CES might as well have stood for cases this year.
Though cases ranged in form and function, there were a few distinct trends I saw from a number of case manufacturers. The biggest by far was custom cases with personalized pictures and even one-of-a-kind 3D printed models. Then there were the eco-friendly cases constructed from materials such as wood and other plant matter. And, of course, there were cases that offered serious protection and cases that added features like enhanced audio output or tactile keyboards and game controls.
There were a number of Samsung Galaxy S III cases, as well as a handful of Android tablet cases, but at CES, much like anywhere else, the Apple iPhone 5, iPad, and iPad mini were king. The iPhone cases ranged from fashion forward to garishly bedazzled to fully functional gaming controllers and QWERTY keyboards. There were also a lot of big name collaborations on designs and prints, including cases featuring the Peanuts crew and Lego bricks.
On the iPad front, the full-sized and mini had equal shares of fresh cases. And since cases are, first and foremost, about protecting your devices, a big crowd pleaser on the show floor was exhibits that allowed showgoers to subject iPads to some serious abuse—think hammers, drills, and even paintball guns.
But not every case is worthy of mention, which is why we scoured the show floors to bring you a sampling of the best cases we saw at CES. Click through the slideshow to check out our choices.

Men complain a lot about girls not wanting them and that there's no hope for them but have they ever tried dating someone in the same league as them. Instead of only wanting hot girls that don't want to date them. Why is it even ugly guys only want the hottest girl or no girl?
Most Helpful Girl
This is a strange phenomenon... one I don't quite understand.
'Ugly' guys still feel like they "deserve" an attractive hot girl.
Whereas, many "ugly" girls will accept and "ugly" guy. AKA someone on her 'level'
This makes no sense to me... why don't 'uglier' males for for less attractive females..
honestly like, you'd get turned down way less if you played on your own level.
Sounds harsh. sounds shallow. but true.11|00|1
Ugly girls will not accept ugly guys.. I know from experience
hmm, I know a lot who do.
Of course I'm speaking in general, there are always exceptions.

"I don't see any limit to the principle that would be behind this House suit. I could see that if we were to start down that road, the president could go into court and sue the Senate for failing to give him an up-or-down answer on nominees as the Constitution contemplates that they actually advice and consent or reject, but give them a vote," said Dellinger.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) announced last month plans to sue the president for what he called "aggressive unilateralism," adding that if something was not done, Obama would have "king-like authority at the expense of the American people and their elected legislators."
"I could imagine the House suing the Senate because a certain bill the Senate was considering didn't originate in the House," Dellinger said.
"As Chairman [Pete] Sessions [R-Texas] noted, the House has that authority over taxing and budget matters, so if the Senate were considering a bill, would you go into federal district court and seek a mandamus to make the Senate not proceed with a revenue measure that failed to originate?" he asked.
"I just think these are not matters that the courts ought to be deciding." Dellinger said.
Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.) said that "every single Republican in Congress voted against the Affordable Care Act," followed by repeated efforts to delay or repeal what they said "was the worst piece of legislation in the history of the Republic."
"They shut down the government to try to stop it. Now they're trying to speed it up," Slaughter said.
Simon Lazarus, senior counsel for the Constitutional Accountability Center, said it was "curious that the objection here is to putting some flexibility into the pace at which one part of the Affordable Care Act is implemented from members who quite sincerely believe that the Affordable Care Act is not a sound piece of legislation."
