Local Articles in New Haven
Many homeowners seem to have questions about window egress laws. One highly rated provider breaks down everything you need to make an informed decision.
Double-hung wooden windows are known for their classic, unique look, but they're also known for being loud and drafty. Instead of installing vinyl replacements, many window specialists offer restoration services that preserve an old window's aesthetics while improving its functionality.
It's hard to determine if a window should be replaced or restored. Angie provides insight on making the difficult decision.
Angie's Answers
Hello - I hope my answer will help point you in the right direction.
The reason you're having a hard time getting clear information is because there are hundreds of companies saying their window is the best. There are probably millions of different features you can choose to have for your windows and in price ranges from $169-$1200 (per double-hung window).
I've been in the business for 15 years and have seen many different window products from many different dealers and manufacturers. This all comes down to: "what's important for you and your home?" If you want a strong warranty from a company who has a full-time service department to give you piece of mind and service your windows should needs be, or are you looking at only those companies who offer true wood interior windows that you can paint or stain to match the home decor? Whatever is your hot-button, then that's where you want to start.
I would recommend you first choose how you want your new windows to look. Wood-interior with vinyl clad is only offered by certain companies, while there is a vinyl woodgrain finish to give you similar results without the maintenance. If you're only looking for a white interior and don't want the maintenance, a fiberglass or vinyl window would be the best choice from what is offered in the market today (vinyl will be less expensive - not necessarily cheaper quality). If you are going to change out a window to a french door and a door to a window, then you WILL NEED to find a contractor with some carpentry experience. Some companies will tell you upfront that they do not handle those sorts of remodeling projects due to the complexity and time it would take to get it complete.
Unfortunately, we won't be able to personally help you with your project as we work in the New England Area. However, if you wish to talk further, please feel free to email me at: firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll be happy to let you know our prices for what we offer so you can compare and hopefully find a similar company to do the work for you near the Austin area.
Get your roofer back out there. Course of shingles above the window need to be pulled, self sealing flashing, drip caps, and counter and step flashing are going to be required here.
This is a flashing issue as the window connects to the mansard roof surface.
Condensation and a leak are two different and very noticeably different (i.e. volume) things.
Flashing and roofing on Mansards can be tricky but is sounds very much like a roofing issue.
Much easier to scratch and typically not as good a finished quality as compared to glass.
Benefits are the resistance to breakage as mentioned by LCD. Any glazing shop should be able to re-create that panel.
For a broken window (or leaking seal in multi-pane unit), for a standard roughly 2x3 foot window, can run from low of about $75-125 for single pane to more like $200-300 range for triple pane, depending on construction and any special ultraviolet or heat reflective coatings. If a removeable window unit, of course cheaper to remove it and take to replacement glass place then have them come out, measure glass size, order glass unit, then come back to install.
If taking in yourself, commonly they can do single-pane in an hour or two, but count on a week or so typically for sealed double or triple pane unit to come in, so you will have to seal the opening in the interim. That is an advantage of having them come out - they measure and determine type of unit on first visit and can seal with tape and plastic sheeting (if you have not already done that), then come back with new unit and install a week or two down the road - but you are not stuck with an opening in the wall for a long time.
Thermal numbers look okay when looking at the NFRC.
Do you have any other data on them? Air infiltration, Design Pressure, Visible Transmittance, and Condensation Resistance are all good evaluators.
Air infiltration rate is way high at 0.21.
It may look nice in person but the performance numbers are below average.
Once you decide you are suing, there should be no further contact or access to the property with the contractor. If you have already been told you are suing, you should stop all access to your property (you are allowing them to gather evidence AGAINST you. Your lawyer may be able to reach an agreement outside of court to allow the contractor to fix the work within a specific time period, but even then make sure you are not in contact with the contractor. Anything you say, will be turned against you ("The Home Owner said it was okay.")
A building official has no legal obligation in court; his job is safety and minimum construction requirements as allowed per Code. He has no say over materials and methods, and cannot assess damage. (IRC doesn't have a requirement that the door you mention exceed 35", so he won't care it isn't 36" as an example). What he CAN do is state if the work is unsafe or causing other conditions which are unsafe. Let your lawyer decide; but it is not in your best interest to have the Building Offical inspect with the contractor.
To sue you need to show damages. Get another contractor (get some references or hire an architect to help ensure you get what you need) to inspect the work and give an estimate to repair. The amount the contractor(s) estimates becomes what you seek in court (plus court fees) from the contractor. If his work caused problems, you should be suing, not sued.
Also, be aware that no door manufacturer makes an actual 36" door (as an example). They each have their own frame sizes, so a "36 door" in reality will be 35 7/8" to 35 3/8". Each door maker has slightly different sizes (go online, you can see Pella, Anderson, Kolbe-Kolbe, etc. have their actual sizes available for PDF downloads). If you replace a Pella 36" with an Anderson's 36" they won't fit perfectly. In fact, the different styles within the same manufacturer are sometimes even different. The purpose of trim is to hide the gap between the wall and door frame, so your door may be perfectly fine in size and method of installation.
When you have this work corrected (and for any future work) utilize the services of a lisenced Architect. They will oversee the work, review requests for payments and document existing conditions and conditions found during construction to prevent the situation you are now in. They will also ensure the proper permits are filed and the inspections called for. Because they are a third party to the agreement, they can be the 'bad guy' and make the contractor perform, where you just have to pay the invoices they approve. The contractor deals with the Architect (and vice versa) and you get the project you wanted. The cost of the architect would have been around $3,200 and is minimal compared to what you are dealing with now, the peace of mind is worth it and architects often find cost savings that go directly back to the Home Owner. When you account for time alone, you will have spent more than this on just preparing and attending the court case.
Because this is headed to court, stop all communication with the contractor and get yourself counsel. Good luck.
Egress Window Installation reviews in New Haven
I was also pleasantly surprised with the quality of the windows they installed. I hadn't really given it much thought, and just assumed they would be cheapo windows, since that is what we have come to expect as the baseline default. They are actually well built, and come with a great warranty too.
If you want the job done right, this is the company to do it. I was extremely impressed.
Communication was a little difficult with him, as his voice mailbox was often full and e-mails went unanswered for days, but he always did get back to me and started and finished the job on time. The day after the window was installed (Christmas Eve), I woke up to discover the well full of water and water leaking into the basement. They'd had to cut a drain to finish the project and did not install a long enough extension on it, so the all ran back into the well. I called him and he and rushed out to my house on Christmas Eve within 20 minutes, pumped out all the water, cleaned everything up, and remedied the problem.
Everything has been fine since, the permits and inspection all went fine, the project was finished on time and within budget, and the window is a BIG improvement in the basement.
During this time, we had several companies come to our home to quote us. Each company was to supply the same windows and door system. This is where the similarities between each company ends.
The pricing wasn't dramatically different however the method of installation and overall impression left by each company was one of the major reasons we selected .
Before making our final decision, we visited the Showroom here in to physically see the products we wished to have installed. As you know, does not sell windows directly to the consumer and when asked which company they would recommend of those we are contemplating we were told without hesitation .
When you came to the house for the initial estimate and final measurements we felt confident you knew what we were looking for and what we expected once the job was complete. A few unforeseen hiccups arose along the way, including you transitioning to another position within the company.
When issues arose and needed to be addressed, you jumped back in to ensure the overall all job was not just quality but that we were happy as well.
With this said, we would gladly recommend to our friends and family and will seek your advice in the spring on replacing our Home Depot windows we installed in 2001 of which many we have discovered have seals that are no longer any good.
Thanking you again for a job well done."
completed the entire gut rehab of an 1888 two-flat to a single family home. It was a job well done!
I got the bid in October and there were several delays in scheduling: the first having to do with my tree trimmer who I was waiting to remove large oak branches that were scraping the roof. The second was from the city starting sewer work and blocking off the street. When there finally was street access for the work, it was well into winter. So I was happy the job could still get done before the Christmas holiday.
I am glad that the sagging roof was fixed as the house looks much better. Work done included attic knee walls, tear off and fixing some cracked sheathing. Roof work took about 3 days.
When I paid we looked outside to inspect the work and he noticed that the flashing around the chimney was silver color. I didn't really care, but he noted that in his bid it covered flashing that was brown to match the roof shingle's color and house trim. He then took $200 off the bill which was fine with me. I can paint it myself for a small amount, but I probably will just leave it. I mostly cared about the quality of the roof surface. He cared a lot more about the aesthetics.
The new basement window looks great, work was done in one day. Noise is created from the sawing of concrete and this was to be expected. Workers were very friendly. Inside of house was left very clean.
I had to take off work for both bid appointments and to let the window workers into the basement on the first day. However, all the roof work was done from the outside so I didn't have to be home. It was very convenient. Sales rep and owner very nice to work with.

Make it HappenSubmitted by Danimal (not verified) on Tue, 04/10/2012 - 8:04am.
I am a taxpaying resident who is anxiously awaiting the day I can bring my son, nieces and nephews to downtown Wilmington and take in a Minor League game at a beautiful riverfront stadium. I am a taxpayer and I am not opposed to having some of my taxes (even if it is a slight increase) used to fund this wonderful plan. Bring baseball to Wilmington.

By Amy Fernandez
"Attending shows will enhance your breed-specific knowledge and provide a better understanding of the complexities of conformation showing," adds Huff, but breeding and handling your own dogs "produces depth of knowledge as well as breadth, since you're involved with both individual dogs and a family of dogs in multiple ways. I'm convinced that many of the best dog people are owner-handlers who have immersed themselves in a particular breed and I would argue that showing your own dogs helps avoid kennel blindness."Lawrence continues simply because she loves breeding and showing. "I enjoy the competition and take pride in what I do. We all dream about having a great dog, but it's a much greater accomplishment to breed a great dog, and watch it grow up to meet your expectations. That is a wonderful thing."3. Have well-meaning professional handlers or judges ever suggested that you trim/groom/present your dogs in defiance of the standard to get ahead? This question produced mixed reactions, but general agreement that grooming and presentation now play a bigger role in the sport, and this emphasis can undermine correct type.Huff notes that "the pressure and the suggestions are frequently more covert than overt." She cites the increasing emphasis on presentation and length of hair, to the detriment of outline. "It's very hard to win now at breed level, let alone the Group or Best in Show level, with a Poodle with less hair on the back of its neck and top of its head. The expression often heard about a Poodle with less hair that doesn't win is that it doesn't 'look the part.'" Huff notes that this increasing focus on outline can mean that basic structure and breed qualities delineated in the standard begin to take a back seat to presentation. Lorentzen describes herself as a "torch carrier" when it comes to Springer grooming. Possibly because she is generally regarded as one of the country's best Springer groomer/conditioners, no one has suggested that she groom her dogs in defiance of the breed standard. "However, there are a number of handlers in this country who do trim their dogs in defiance of the standard, and they continue to win on a weekly basis with these dogs," she says.Noting that the breed standard clearly prohibits excessive trimming, Lorentzen feels that many judges do not understand how to interpret and apply the information in this description. "Trimming is an art form and few people want to take the time to hand-strip topcoats and shape underlines to fit the dog without creating a scissored look. We now have a lot of dogs doing a lot of winning that look like they had a cookie cutter stamped on them, and it is quite incorrect."Over the years, Staudt-Cartabona has also witnessed a shifting emphasis away from a presentation of correct type to a primary focus on the beauty contest aspect of judging. "I have always believed in minimal trimming. I am constantly told that my dogs could be 'better groomed,' or that they don't look 'finished.'" She adds that extreme grooming can detract from type. "I leave hock hair. Since a high narrow hock is a serious fault in any sighthound, I wonder why so many exhibitors trim hocks to the skin?"York admits that a professional handler once suggested that she fix her dog's tail "so he could win more. I would never consider such a suggestion, and this particular dog went on to win five all-breed BIS and become No. 1 Cavalier All Systems."Page 1 | 2 | 3 | 4

Renovations totaling nearly $25,000 are expected to take place soon at the Genoa Senior Center. Upgrades at the facility, located at 514 Main St. near Genoa Town Hall, include a new entryway, electronic doors, replacing the ADA ramp at the rear of the building, reinstalling a curb ramp in the front and miscellaneous carpentry necessary to make the repairs, according to Todd Bickley, director of the Ottawa Regional Planning Commission. Costs are being shared by two sources. A $21,430 Community Development Grant, administered through the planning commission, covers the bulk of the project. The village will kick in another $3,875.
Wood County The commissioners will give their perspectives on the important events that occurred in the county during 2010, as well as goals for 2011. The event is sponsored by the Business Council of the Bowling Green Chamber of Commerce and the Wood County Economic Development Commission. Coffee and light refreshments will be served at 7:30 a.m.
For Oregon City Schools Superintendent Mike Zalar, a trip to China last April resulted in more than just great memories of the Great Wall and the Forbidden City. The trip may open doors to a more global and international way of teaching and learning. Zalar, along with eight other superintendents from across Ohio, spent a little over two weeks participating in the China Exchange Initiative. The trips were funded by the Freeman Foundation, a program that facilitates educational exchange programs between schools in many states and provinces in the United States and China at the pre-college level. The program is also sponsored in coordination with the Ohio Department of Education, the Buckeye Association of School Administrators, and the Chinese Ministry of Education.
The Black Swamp Bird Observatory considers its banding program a "feather in its cap." The program, led by research director Mark Shieldcastle, has banded more than 500,000 birds over two decades. The BSBO banding station is the largest in the country, according to Kim Kaufman, executive director of the BSBO. "We band more birds than any other station in the country on a regular basis," Kaufman said. "That's a feather in our cap, but what it really represents is how important that (Magee) marsh is to migratory birds."
Oregon Council at a meeting on March 14 will consider an agreement with engineering companies to provide services for the final design and bidding for the Oregon Flood Relief and Erosion Control project, the Wolf Creek Relief Ditch project, and the Pickle Road Storm Relief Ditch project. If approved, Poggemeyer Design Group, Bowling Green, would provide engineering services for the Oregon Flood Relief and Erosion Control project, which is located within the downstream area of the Amolsch and Driftmeyer Ditch, Johlin Ditch, and Heckman Ditch watersheds, between Cedar Point Road and Lake Erie. Jones & Henry Engineers, LTD., Toledo, would provide engineering services for the Wolf Creek area west of Stadium Road, and the Pickle Road area between Coy and Lallendorf roads that is served by the Amolsch and Driftmeyer Ditch. Poggemeyer would be paid $304,880 to provide the services. |

INIT, Innovations in Transportation Inc., signed a contract with American Bus Products (ABP) to install a computer-aided dispatch and automated vehicle location (CAD/AVL) system at the Toronto Transit Commission - Wheeltrans (TTC-WT).
The contract includes mobile data terminals and backup cameras on the 110 new paratransit vehicles. Wheel-Trans, the paratransit division of TTC, provides door-to-door accessible transit service for persons with physical disabilities. The new vehicles will also use GPRS and GSM for data and voice communications.
The equipment will be installed over the next two years in cooperation with ABP, the prime contractor on the project. INIT's CAD/AVL system (MOBILE-ITCS) will allow dispatchers to view real-time and historical locations of vehicles and manage voice and data communication with the drivers.
Vehicles will be equipped with INIT's new mobile data terminal (TOUCHmon), which will allow drivers to communicate via data or voice with dispatchers and to see live views from the rearview analog camera. In the next phase of the project, they will also be able to see their list of stops, along with turn-by-turn directions.
The 8.4-inch full-color TFT touch screen is designed with Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) technology, which is virtually impossible to scratch. Due to the built-in audio amplifier, drivers will get clear and distinct navigation announcements helping them to easily locate any stop.
The contract is valued at about $2.42 million.

At just 26 years old and widely considered the greatest fighter on the planet, it's easy to forget Jon Jones is a relative neophyte to the sport of MMA. And it's scary to think what could lie ahead for "Bones," who says he's just getting started.
"I'm a white belt in jiu-jitsu," Jones told MMAjunkie.com. "I just got a new boxing coach. I'm learning so much about angles now. My eyes have been so opened, like a new baby. I'm just really excited to show the MMA community how much better I've gotten at mixed martial arts.
"I think a lot time people feel as if because I've done so good already that I can't get better or it's time for other people to catch up with me. That's just not fair to me, and it's not my psychology."
Jones (18-1 MMA, 12-1 UFC) steps back into the cage in the main event of Saturday's UFC 165 event, which takes place at Toronto's Air Canada Centre and airs live on pay-per-view. Standing across from him will be Swedish contender Alexander Gustafsson (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC), a 6-foot-5 slugger who will be the first opponent to match the champ in terms of physical stature.
While Jones recently said he's confident his team has developed a gameplan capable of nullifying Gustafsson's strengths, he still contends he's excited for the matchup if for no other reason than to prove his critics wrong, not to mention the opportunity to defend his belt six consecutive time, a feat no other 205-pounder has ever accomplished in the UFC.
"I'm definitely very excited," Jones said. "This fight, for me, it's everything I wanted. I made it very clear to everyone what I was looking for, and it's all happening.
"To fight a guy like Alexander Gustafsson, it's a fight I asked for to be able to close the debate of which light heavyweight was the most successful or the most dominant. I think I'll close the debate with this win. I think I'll also close the debate that the reason why I was so dominant is only because of my size and my reach advantage. So I feel like I'm closing two chapters with one fight, and that's huge for me, so I'm very excited. I'm very fired up about this one."
Should Gustafsson prove victorious, Brazilian slugger Glover Teixeira is expected to earn the next shot. Teixeira boasts an incredible 20-fight win streak and would certainly count among the most powerful fighters Jones has ever faced. But "Bones" said he's not thinking about that just yet, even though Teixeira is scheduled to be in Toronto to attend UFC 165.
"I'm not thinking about Glover at all," Jones said. "I hope he enjoys watching the fight."
Jones recent track record is incredible. At just 26 years old, he's already defeated five former UFC champions. But Jones believes he's just scratched the surface of what's possible for him as an athlete.
"I'm still really young," Jones said. "I think people forget that this is only my sixth year as a pro fighter. I'm just really excited to show people that I'm still very much a kid in a way when it comes to MMA. My enthusiasm for the sport and the learning curve is still just in the beginning stages.
"There's just so much more for me to learn. We're always doing things better and getting better at the sport. People just think for some reason it's time for the new guy to catch up to me. Who said I slowed down?"

I've always been impressed with Hitachi's build quality on this line. While it's generally geared toward Mac users, the devices are about as refined as Apple in terms of design, etc.
The HGST version has no battery inside so it is not truly mobile therefore not comparable with the Seagate solution. WD, you're up next.

True, there's no built in battery but externals work...hard to call them non-competitive products on that one feature. I saw the Seagate for the first time today and played with it some. The battery is in fact neat, I suppose it depends largely on the features you want. I'll see WD tonight I think and will ask them about a competing device.
Yes, please ask ;-) I simply had issues with that you said - while comparing this to the Satellite - "it's superior in a number of ways" - But the Hitachi won't work during the time you are mobile (e.g. airplane, cab, etc..) - so it is only a portable device. Hitachi should, for god's sake, put the 7mm HDD in(good enough for USB2 and 802.11n)and add a battery. Oh, and USB3 since Seagate got that, too.
Granted, none of the these solutions are perfect, I am not yet convinced to make a purchase. Isn't it funny that due to the limitations of the iOS environment (=root of the problem) the storage makers try to find these complicated ways around it?
Posted 22 June 2011 - 11:04 PM
Anyway, I'm prepping a piece for tomorrow to discuss where we are in the space right now...had hands on with all three solutions tonight.

This series of articles will present you a simple to use and expandable way of implementing options sheets and pages. Here are some advantages over other implementations:
This first part will simply explain how to use the OptionSheet system in the simplest form and in another form near the behaviour of MFC CPropertySheet.
Note that WTL is the required framework for this system. If you are MFC, don't go away, you can integrate WTL very easily in MFC without changing a line of your code. For the details, please refer to the first part of Paolo Messina's article "Mix up WTL with MFC".
Like the majority of other systems out there, it is split in two classes. One that manages options pages and another that collect all these pages in one sheet.
In this first approach we will use a dialog template for the sheet layout. This can sounds strange but gives you the opportunity to place the controls at your pleasure. You can also add special controls that will be handled by your own message handlers. The dialog template can of course be used for several different sheets. So generally you'll have only one dialog template for your app or even for your software suite.
If you want dynamically created sheets, read the second article. But, let's start with an example of a page.
Here is the code for the simplest page. The page contains only passive controls.
// OptionPageAbout.h #include "resource.h" #include <MOptionPage.h> class COptionPageAbout : public Mortimer::COptionPageImpl< COptionPageAbout > { public: enum { IDD = IDD_OPTIONPAGE_ABOUT }; DECLARE_EMPTY_MSG_MAP() };
Your project has to contain a dialog template IDD_OPTIONPAGE_ABOUT. Make it with Style=Child, Border=Thin and a titlebar (to have a caption).
Every sheet you want to display must have its own class deriving from COptionSheet. Adding pages to the sheet is done internally and not by calling AddPage() before a DoModal() like in CPropertySheet. In fact pages window creations are left to you. Once again it could sounds strange but it let's you add pages that you have not created, coming from a plugin for example.
Here is the specialized options sheet class, note the DoInit() function.
// MyOptionSheet.h #include < MOptionSheet.h > #include "OptionPageAbout.h" class CMyOptionSheet : public Mortimer::COptionSheet { public: bool DoInit(bool FirstTime) { if (FirstTime) { m_PageAbout.Create(this); m_PageGeneral.Create(this); } AddItem(new COptionItem(NULL, &m_PageAbout)); AddItem(new COptionItem(NULL, &m_PageGeneral)); return COptionSheet::DoInit(FirstTime); } protected: COptionPageAbout m_PageAbout; COptionPageGeneral m_PageGeneral; };
DoInit() has two sections, the first is enclosed within the if statement. Pages creations are done there. The instance of the sheet is passed (with the this pointer) to the pages, so that they know their parent.
Now the second, AddItem() is called passing an instance of COptionItem. This is the system to add pages. In fact we do not add pages but like the name tells, we add an item. What's an item? In this example it is degenerated to a page. The first NULL parameter of COptionItem is the string for the item caption. Passing NULL tells the sheet to get the caption from the page dialog template.
Do not forget to call the base class implementation of DoInit(), and like you see it in the code you have to call it at the end of the function. The standard implementation will simply activate the first page if you didn't activate one yourself with COptionSheet::SetActiveItem().
And now here is the code to display the sheet:
COptionSheetDialogImpl< COptionSelectionTabCtrl, CMyOptionSheet > Sheet(IDD_MYOPTIONSHEET); Sheet.DoModal();
The first line creates the sheet by declaring an object. Let's investigate this a little bit.
We use the COptionSheetDialogImpl template which is a window implementation for COptionSheet that handles creation from dialog resource template. The first argument is the class that represent the control used for item selection. Currently two classes are supplied: one for TabCtrl and the other for TreeCtrl. The second argument is YOUR COptionSheet derived class. The last thing to do is pass the dialog ID as the constructor parameter (here IDD_MYOPTIONSHEET). That's it.
The second line simply shows and handles the sheet.
Well, this example shows a neat sheet with two pages but it doesn't handle options at all. Let's move on to add some functionality.
Before we can handle dialogs for options we must have some options. So here is a way to store some options. Note that the system presented here is created for the example, in real life you either have your own system or if not, see another article I wrote: "Settings Storage". The last part of this article series will talk about tightening together CSettingsStorage with COptionSheet.
struct CGeneralOptions { CString Name; bool Enable; }; struct CAppOptions { CGeneralOptions Default; CGeneralOptions Current; void Load(); // Load the options from storage void Save(); // Save the options to the storage };
What we have is a set of options for default settings and another for the current settings. This will show you the use of the same option page twice in the sheet but with different options. For this to work we subclass the COptionItem class to add a member which will be a pointer to our CXXXOptions object. Here is its definition:
class CMyOptionItem : public COptionItem { public: CMyOptionItem(LPCTSTR Caption, COptionPage *pPage, void *pOptions) : COptionItem(Caption, pPage), m_pOptions(pOptions) {} void SetOptions(void *pOptions) { m_pOptions = pOptions; } void *GetOptions() { return m_pOptions; } protected: void *m_pOptions; };
Here is our updated sheet class that handles the new items:
// MyOptionSheet.h #include < MOptionSheet.h > #include "OptionPageAbout.h" #include "OptionPageGeneral.h" class CMyOptionSheet : public Mortimer::COptionSheet { public: bool DoInit(bool FirstTime) { if (FirstTime) { m_PageAbout.Create(this); m_PageGeneral.Create(this); } AddItem(new COptionItem(NULL, &m_PageAbout)); AddItem(new CMyOptionItem("Default", &m_PageGeneral, m_pOptions->Default)); AddItem(new CMyOptionItem("Current", &m_PageGeneral, m_pOptions->Current)); return COptionSheet::DoInit(FirstTime); } protected: COptionPageAbout m_PageAbout; COptionPageGeneral m_PageGeneral; CAppOptions *m_pOptions; };
Two items were added with the same page but with different captions and also different options pointers. Also note the new protected member which is a pointer to our app options. This one has to be initialized before we call DoModal().
Because several items can share the same page, committing the options is done in the sheet. For that implement OnOK(), OnCancel() and OnApply().
... class CMyOptionSheet : public Mortimer::COptionSheet { public: ... void OnOK(UINT uCode, int nID, HWND hWndCtl) { m_pOptions.Save(); COptionSheet::OnOK(uCode, nID, hWndCtl); } void OnApply(UINT uCode, int nID, HWND hWndCtl) { m_pOptions.Save(); COptionSheet::OnApply(uCode, nID, hWndCtl); } void OnCancel(UINT uCode, int nID, HWND hWndCtl) { m_pOptions.Load(); // Reload the saved options COptionSheet::OnCancel(uCode, nID, hWndCtl); } ...
Let's add a page to our project, for that create a dialog template (IDD_OPTIONPAGE_GENERAL) with an Edit (IDC_EDIT) and a checkbox (IDC_CHECK). To move the page at the right position on the sheet, use the XPos and YPos fields in the 'Dialog Properties' from the resource editor.
Here is the code for this class:
// OptionPageGeneral.h #include "resource.h" #include < MOptionPage.h > class COptionPageGeneral : public Mortimer::COptionPageImpl< COptionPageGeneral > { public: enum { IDD = IDD_OPTIONPAGE_GENERAL }; DECLARE_EMPTY_MSG_MAP() bool OnSetActive(COptionItem *pItem) { // cast the Item to our own CMyOptionItem *pMyItem = dynamic_cast< CMyOptionItem* >(pItem); if (pMyItem) { // Get the options pointer (void*) m_pOptions = (CGeneralOptions*)pMyItem->GetOptions(); if (m_pOptions) { // Okay, sets the control contents SetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT, m_pOptions->Name); CheckDlgButton(IDC_CHECK, m_pOptions->Enable); } } return true; } bool OnKillActive(COptionItem *pItem) { // Do we have options to update ? if (m_pOptions) { // Yes, fetch the values from the controls GetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT, m_pOptions->Name.GetBuffer(100), 100); m_pOptions->Name.ReleaseBuffer(); m_pOptions->Enable = IsDlgButtonChecked(IDC_CHECK); } return true; } protected: CGeneralOptions *m_pOptions; };
The OnSetActive() function will be called each time the page is displayed, what we do is get the options pointer and update the dialogs controls. We also backup the options pointer to later use it in OnKillActive() (this could be avoided by adding the same code in OnKillActive()).
The OnKillActive() function is the opposite, it is called before the page disappears. At this point we fetch the values from the controls to update the options.
That's it. You now have a functional OptionSheet system. Read the next section for another possible behaviour. Also look forward for Part III for better options handling.
If you don't want to use the multi-items with same page feature, you can fall back with the behaviour of CPropertySheet. I've done that in CPropSheet and CPropPage. Instead implementing the sheet OnOK() and OnCancel(), you will do that for each page you have. So committing the options are left to the page responsibility. When the user clicks on the sheet buttons, every page gets called automatically.
Here is the code for the sheet and a page:
// MyPropSheet.h #include "OptionPageAbout.h" #include "PropPageGeneral.h" class CMyPropSheet : public Mortimer::CPropSheet { public: bool DoInit(bool FirstTime) { if (FirstTime) { m_PageAbout.Create(this); m_PageGeneral.Create(this); } AddItem(new COptionItem(NULL, &m_PageAbout)); AddItem(new COptionItem(NULL, &m_PageGeneral)); // Set the options pointer for the page m_PageGeneral.m_pOptions = &m_pOptions->Current; return CPropSheet::DoInit(FirstTime); } void SetOptions(CAppOptions *pOptions) { m_pOptions = pOptions; } protected: COptionPageAbout m_PageAbout; CPropPageGeneral m_PageGeneral; CAppOptions *m_pOptions; };
// PropPageGeneral.h #include "resource.h" #include <MOptionPage.h> class CPropPageGeneral : public Mortimer::COptionPageImpl< CPropPageGeneral, Mortimer::CPropPage > { public: enum { IDD = IDD_OPTIONPAGE_GENERAL }; DECLARE_EMPTY_MSG_MAP() bool OnSetActive(COptionItem *pItem) { // Sets the control contents SetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT, m_pOptions->Name); CheckDlgButton(IDC_CHECK, m_pOptions->Enable); return true; } void OnOK() { // Retrieve values from the controls GetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT, m_pOptions->Name.GetBuffer(100), 100); m_pOptions->Name.ReleaseBuffer(); m_pOptions->Enable = IsDlgButtonChecked(IDC_CHECK); } void OnCancel() { // Do nothing } CGeneralOptions *m_pOptions; };
The sheet code is nearly the same as for COptionSheet except it does not contain code for OnOK(), OnCancel() and OnApply(). It also sets a pointer to the settings in the page. Once again this is dependant of your settings system.
The page code contains 3 methods: OnSetActive() which will load the controls with the settings. OnOK() updates the settings from the controls. OnCancel() does nothing, so the controls contents are simply lost.
To get this sheet displayed, use the same code as for COptionSheet.
Two more articles are yet to be written, part II will focus on dynamically created sheets (no more dialog templates for the sheet), part III can be the more interesting one from the "lesser code" point of view, it will present an extension to allow automatic settings handling with COptionSheet and CSettingsStorage (see "Settings Storage").

EuropeSecond Moscow bomber identified Female Dagestani teacher named as the other suicide bomber in metro attacks. 07 Apr 2010 10:47 GMT The explosions left 40 people dead and more than 80 injured [Reuters] The morning rush-hour attacks on the Lubyanka and Park Kultury metro stations, around 40 minutes apart, left 40 people dead and more than 80 injured. Father's identification A spokesman for the FSB security service told the AFP news agency that Sharipova was the wife of Magomedali Vagapov, a fighter in the North Caucaus whose whereabouts are unknown, but who is believed to be alive and active. in depth Medvedev vows to avenge blasts Caucasus witnessing 'state terror' Timeline: Attacks in Russia The North Caucasus: A history of violence Chechnya's battle for independence Analysis: Moscow metro explosions Gallery: Twin blasts hit Russian capital On Friday, Rasul Magomedov told the Novaya Gazeta, a Russian newspaper, that Sharipova was his daughter. "My wife and I immediately recognised our daughter" after photographs of the severed heads of the two suicide bombers were published in Russian media, Magomedov told the paper. Magomedov told Novaya Gazeta that Sharipova graduated with honours from a local university in 2005 and since 2006 had taught computer science in Dagestan. He told Komsomolskaya Pravda, another Russian newspaper, that his family, including Sharipova's two brothers, had been under pressure from the authorities for the past several years. His elder son, Anvar, was once found abandoned in the woods after having been tortured for hours after he was detained by police, Magomedov told the paper. Magomedov's younger son, Ilyas, was detained in a special operation and given a nine-month jail sentence, Komsomolskaya Pravda said. The "Emirate of the Caucasus", which is fighting to impose a state based on sharia law in Russia's North Caucasus region, has claimed responsibility for the metro attacks. Source: Agencies

K-9 was modestly successful buddy cop film with a unique twist: one half of its "buddy cop" partnership was actually a dog! The film, which starred James Belushi, inspired two sequels and even received modest praise from critics during its initial release. The dog in the film, called Jerry Lee, was especially praised for its performance on screen. The following is everything you need to know about 'Jerry Lee' from the film K-9.
The producers auditioned dozens of dogs for the role of Jerry Lee
The producers of the film spent a year looking for dogs to play the co-starring role of Jerry Lee. They auditioned over 40 dogs over the course of that year, but were unable to find any American German Shepherd dogs which suited their needs. The decision was then made to cast Rando, a German shepherd from West Germany.
Rando didn't speak English
Dogs are naturally trained to understand commands in their native language, which means that the German dog Rando only knew German commands. Karl Lewis Miller trained Rando for several months in order to teach him the commands he would need for the film in English.
Jerry Lee has appeared in all three K-9 films
K-9 has spawned two sequels: K-911, released in 1999 and K-9: P.I., released in 2002. In both films, actor James Belushi reprised his role as Detective Dooley, and the character of Jerry Lee was reprised as his partner. However, due to the inability for Rando to reprise his role, other dogs were cast to play Jerry Lee. In K-911, three dogs (Mac, Sonto and Reno) were hired to play the role and in K-9: P.I., a dog named King was cast in the role.
Rando's performance as Jerry Lee earned him critical praise
The film itself received mixed reviews, but critics (both those who liked and hated the film) almost universally praised Rando's performance as Jerry Lee. Rita Kempley of the Washington Post wrote that "… the movie would roll over and play dead without the talented German shepherd. Lassie was classy and Benji beguiling, but Jerry Lee is a four-legged Burt Reynolds, just made for fast cars and chase scenes. … Just turn that camera on Jerry Lee, playing peekaboo from behind those big fuzzy paws, and you've got motion picture magic. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you might even feel like scratching."

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. and MODESTO, Calif., Aug. 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB), representing California's more than 1,500 dairy families, today announced their activation of Fuel Up to Play 60 (FUTP 60) in California for the 2014-2015 school year. Fuel Up to Play 60 is an in-school physical activity and nutrition program created by the National Dairy Council in collaboration with the National Football League. The program encourages youth to consume low-fat and fat-free dairy products, fruits, vegetables, lean meats and whole grains while achieving at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day.
"We know that children need a well-rounded and nutritious diet, and one that includes dairy, to make sure that they are fueled up for optimal learning and to sustain them through at least 60 minutes of physical activity per school day," said Jennifer Giambroni, Director of Communications for the CMAB. "This is just one of the reasons we are excited to partner with FUTP 60. Through this program, California dairy families are helping schools and students gain access to resources that will help make children healthier, more active and create good habits for life."
Since its launch, FUTP 60 has helped to make wellness part of the game plan in nearly 73,000 schools across the country. Qualifying California schools participating in FUTP 60 may be eligible for up to $4,000 for the 2014-2015 school year to help support their health and wellness programs. This competitive program is designed to support schools that implement plays from the 2014-2015 edition of the Fuel Up to Play 60 Playbook. These plays can range from creating a healthy breakfast program in a school to coordinating the 100 Mile Club, which challenges students to walk, jog or run 100 miles at school in a single school year to improve their health and well-being.
With students spending approximately 180 days in school each year and with many students receiving both breakfast and lunch at school, school can be a place where healthy habits can be taught and encouraged. Each FUTP 60 play is designed to complement current fitness and wellness initiatives within schools. In addition, each play advocates for a healthy school community and supports students' needs to obtain an overall healthier lifestyle one that focuses on positive nutrition and physical activity.
In addition to being eligible for up to $4,000 in grant funding at the school level, qualifying California schools, teachers, students, districts also have opportunities to win prizes including tickets to a major division football game, autographed football jerseys, mini footballs, helmets and other FUTP 60 gear.
For schools interested in participating in FUTP 60, applications will be available online beginning August 26, 2014 and must be received by November 5, 2014. For more information on Fuel Up to Play 60 and to sign up an eligible school, please visit FuelUpToPlay60.com.

The California Milk Advisory Board (CMAB), an instrumentality of the California Department of Food and Agriculture, is funded by the state's more than 1,500 dairy families. With headquarters in South San Francisco and Modesto, the CMAB is one of the largest commodity boards in the United States.
