New Releases: Oracle Java ME 8.1 and Java ME SDK 8.1
11/20/2014 in Embedded | Tags: "Developer Preview", ARM, Cortex-M, Freescale, Java 8, Java ME Embedded, Java ME Embedded 8.1, Java ME SDK 8.1, mbed, microcontroller, small | 13 comments
At JavaOne a few weeks ago, Oracle made available the Java ME 8.1 Developer Preview release for the Freescale FRDM-K64F ("Java ME 8.1 in 190 KB RAM") and announced the upcoming full release of Java ME Embedded 8.1 (press release).
On Monday this week, we followed up as promised and posted the General Availability (GA) releases of Oracle Java ME 8.1 and the Oracle ME SDK 8.1.
Oracle Java ME Embedded 8.1 and ME SDK 8.1 New Features and Enhancements
- Support for ARM Cortex-M3/-M4 micro-controllers
- Updated Raspberry Pi support
- Updated Developer Preview on FRDM-K64 with mbed
- Improved support for two additional Qualcomm Gobi device families
- New communication, security, and networking features
- New support for Eclipse IDE, including major update of the Eclipse MTJ plugin
- Developer improvements: Tooling over USB, heap analysis, faster communication
- A number of smaller enhancements and fixes
Java 8: Truly Scalable
With this release, Java ME 8 now fully lives up to its design promise of delivering a feature-rich Java 8 platform that scales from powerful embedded systems all the way down to resource-constrained singe-chip micro-controllers with as little as 128 KB of RAM.
Developers can now rely on a consistent, standards-based programming model and platform that allows true code reuse from large to small solutions … in most cases the same, unmodified application binary will run across the entire range of target devices – irrespective of the underlying hardware and software differences. This means faster time-to-market, improved security and flexibility, and the ability to deliver more product value, faster.
No other embedded software technology can do that today.

We have a swan plant just outside the living room window which has been full of caterpillars for the last few weeks, I have been meaning to take some images and had not quite got to it. Tonight I noticed that there were lots of caterpillars but no leaves left at all, and a preying mantis had joined the party. A quick play with flash and my macro lens ensued…

I am just back from a lovely trip to Lake Tekapo and Mt Cook, a warm and very sunny weekend. Most of my images are of my kids playing but I took a few landscapes as well. These are from Lake Tekapo and both need a little more careful editing later, along with lots of other images I still need to look at.

Remind me never to accept music review suggestions based on pure dare and absurdity. Sure, reviewing two Michael Bolton albums as a tribute to Game of Thrones sounds funny until you're actually doing it. That being said, lets dig into Bolton's 1993 release, "The One Thing."
I cannot review an album in a vacuum, all past musical experience heavily impacts the way I think about what I'm listening to in the present. Having only listened to Michael Bolton's "Time, Love & Tenderness" (1991) two days ago, listening to "The One Thing" (1993) is just insufferable. I don't care about how nice Bolton's voice is, not as long as I'm just listening to more of the same. A song from "The One Thing" is only distinguishable from a song on "Time, Love & Tenderness" in that you might notice that there's more guitar, or you don't hear those really cheesy keyboard presets. And there are songs on "The One Thing" that sound exactly like songs that Bolton released two years prior.
I could forgive the musical similarities between the albums if only there was some sort of lyrical/thematic evolution in Bolton's songs; but there isn't. "The One Thing" highlights an apparent problem with Bolton and the "adult-contemporary/love-song" genre, for me at least: if the one thing you do well is sing love songs or pseudo-inspirational garbage, then I'm going to stop noticing or caring about your talent and tune out. Like Bolton, I'm not made of steel – and I can only endure so much before I crumble. Like "Time, Love & Tenderness" it's hard to say that "The One Thing" isn't okay, but after consuming two hours worth of Bolton I can say without a doubt that I can't stand it anymore – and that's not okay.

"Where you go?", demanded the uniformed bus boy as I approached the baw kaw
saw ( local bus terminal ). Taking my bags he escorted me to the appropriate
stance. With its extensive, state-controlled network travel by bus in Thailand
is both easy and inexpensive.
However it can be a real culture shock on entering this exotic, asian
country for the first time. Not only are most of the signs in the outlandish,
seemingly indecipherable Thai script ( it makes Greek look simple ) but few
people ( voluntarily ) speak English ( although it is the main foreign
language taught in schools ). With its tonal system the Thai language ( pasa
Thai ) is strange and difficult for westerners to assimilate - each set of
letters can be pronounced using five different tones ( high, low, middle,
rising, falling ) to generate five different words - usually one of which
should not be used in polite society.
Conversely, refined English speakers may find the speech of Thai men
offensive - in polite Thai they add khrap to the end of each sentence as in:-
khawp khun khrap ( thank you ), sawat dii khrap ( Thai greeting/ farewell ). (
Thai women use kha ). As in Malaysia, and many other countries of SE Asia,
there is a significant Chinese minority. Like the Thais however, they also
practice the Buddhist faith, though a different branch with different temples,
and there is a high degree of integration - unlike in Malaysia where the
different ethnic groups co-exist but with little integration.
Local hotels are invariably run by Chinese Thais and costs are comparable
with those in Malaysia at around 200Baht ( Ł1 = 60Baht ) per night.
Travelling by rot meh thammarat ( ordinary bus ) I headed northwards via
the bustling cities of Hat Yai and Trang to explore the spectacular scenery
surrounding the coastal towns of Krabi and Phang Nga.
From the 'window' on the tall, limestone stack rising prominently above
Laem Phra Nang ( Laem - cape ) there is a magnificent aerial view over the twin arcs of golden sand separated
by dense groves of coconut palms concealing clusters of thatched-roofed
bungalows. Only by boat is access possible to this isolated isthmus and the
bright blue waters of the two opposing bays were scarred by the white wakes of
the long-tailed ferries bringing new arrivals around the headlands from the
longer, but busier, beach of Ao Nang ( Ao - bay ) or directly from the nearby
estuarine town of Krabi.
One of the delights of Thailand is the abundance of inexpensive tropical
fruits. Freshly prepared pineapple, papaya, melon and other exotic fruits are
widely available from street vendors. Better buys can be obtained direct from
the fruit markets. A local speciality are the 'Princess's finger-nail' bananas
- whole bunches can be bought for a few baht. However the durian, held in
esteem by Thais, is an acquired taste with its sweet yellow flesh but pungent,
not to say noxious, odour and is probably best avoided ( it has been likened
to eating ice-cream smelling of garlic ).
Dining out is rarely a problem with the plethora of foodstalls and
restaurants, surprisingly many with English menus. Eating is one of the
pleasures ( sanuk) of Thai people and their national cuisine is varied and
exotic with a tendency to be hot and spicy - as with the durian some dishes
are best avoided. In extremity one can always ask for the ubiquitous fried
rice ( khao phat - pronounced cow pat ). Young Thais are partial to the hybrid
khao phat americaine ( american fried rice ).
Further North from Krabi, in the large bay near the town of Phang Nga,
wierdly-shaped, limestone outcrops rise dramatically from the sea. This was the location for 'The Man with
the Golden Gun' - one of the attractions being the small, strangely shaped
island of Khao Ping Gan now dubbed 'James Bond Island'.
On a two-day trip organised by Sayan, a local postman, I was ferried around
the bay in a long-tailed boat to explore the astonishing variety of islands
and the many semi-submerged caves and grottoes with gigantic stalactites and
stalagmites. Included in the tour was a sun-set cruise, when the islands are
hauntingly beautiful, a superb sea-food dinner and an overnight stay in
Sayan's house in the Moslem fishing village, built entirely on stilts, on Ko
Panyi ( ko- island ).
Less than two hours from Phang Nga is Sarasin Bridge linking Ko Phuket ,
Thailand's largest island ( about the same size as Singapore ) to the
Kata, Karon and Ao Patong are the most popular tourist beaches - nice
enough for sand,sea and sun but I prefer the less-developed, more scenic and
tranquil beaches of Hat Kamala ( hat - beach ) and Ao Bang Tao which are also
on the western coast of Ko Phuket.
Rather than stay in the beach bungalows I choose to stay in the charismatic
On On Hotel, with its quaint Sino-Portuguese architecture, in Phuket Town at
the southern end of the island, where there is a greater range of amenities. A
day trip to any of the beaches is then possible by songthaew ( pick-up truck
with two opposing bench seats used throughout Thailand for short distance
local transport ).
For the longer leg of my journey from Phuket northwards along the Andeman
Sea coast to the small port of Ranong I travelled in one of the more expensive, but faster,
air-conditioned buses.
Situated just across the Chan River from neighbouring Burma ( or Myanmar as
it has been re-named by its current military government ) the markets and
streets of Ranong are full of Burmese men conspicuous in their
brightly-coloured longyis .
In the riverside park enclosing the hot springs, as a lone farang (
foreigner ), I was invited by several groups of friendly, hospitable Thais to
join their family picnics.
From Ranong it is a half day through extensive rubber plantations to cross
the peninsula to the junction town of Chumpon and then
another short trip northwards along the Gulf of Thailand to the quiet,
untouristed Prachuap Kiri Khan.
Running the gauntlet of a horde of inquisitive monkeys I climbed the long
stone staircase to the tiny, ornate wat ( Thai Buddhist temple ) perched on
the very summit of a small hill to gain a splendid outlook over the town and
the 8Km white-sand beach, backed by casuarina trees, sweeping round Ao
Prachuap to the distant fishing village of Bang Nang Lom nestling beneath
soaring limestone cliffs. From the edge of town a long pier extends into the
bay - deserted during the day it becomes a hive of floodlit activity in the
evenings when the fishing boats unload their catches and load supplies for
their next trip.
Up the coast the traditional Thai beach resort of Hua Hin has been
overtaken by the international tourist trade. Modern, high-rise, all-air-con
hotels, catering for the two-week-a-year, package-holidaymaker now loom over
the two-storeyed,
family-run, fan-room guest-houses catering for the 12-month, round-the-world,
budget-travel, back-packer. However both types of tourist mingle on the beach
and in the bars and restaurants.
The rickshaw driver was none too pleased when I got him to let me off at
the Moti Mahal Guest House - he had been expecting to get a commission by
delivering me elsewhere. On checking-in I was delighted to find that the new
manager Kumar, and the rest of his staff, were Nepalese. Later that evening we
enjoyed an exchange in Nepali and they were interested in photos of my recent
trek in the Himalaya.
The restored glory of the local Royal Thai Railway Hotel, now re-named
Hotel Sofitel Central, was featured in "The Killing Fields" as Hotel Le
Three hours from Hua Hin one enters the horrendous traffic jams of Bangkok
- drivers have been advised by the city authorities to carry 'portaloos'.
However once installed in one of the many guest-houses or hotels in Khao
San Road in the globetrotters' centre of Banglamphu most places of interest
are then within walking distance - although crossing roads is dangerous.
Motorbikes are a particular hazard appearing from nowhere and from unexpected
directions. It is not unusual to see ( two-wheel ) motorbikes carrying whole
families of five - two parents and three children - one perched on the
handlebars, one sandwiched between the parents and one hanging on behind -
none wearing crash helmets.
Joining the throng of other tourists I entered the massive, white-washed
battlements enclosing the Old Royal City to inspect the quintessentially Thai
architecture of the Grand Palace and Wat Phra Keo ( The Temple of The Emerald
Buddha ) with dazzling, gilded chedis ( bell-shaped towers with tall, tapering
spires ) and elaborately decorated prangs ( tall, finger-like spires )
surrounding the ornate, gaudy pavilions. The adjoining Wat Pho ( The Temple of
the Reclining Buddha ) contains the greatest collection of Buddha images in
Thailand. The rows upon rows of gilded, seated figures around a
cloistered courtyard ( bot ) are typical of Thai temples.
A mere 1Baht is the fare for the public ferry across the broad,
swiftly-flowing Chao Phraya River to the spectacular Wat Arun - The Temple of
Dawn - with its 82metre high prang embedded with multi-coloured, porcelain
tiles to reflect the rays of the morning sun. From the uppermost terrace there
is a splendid view back across the busy river to the ornate buildings of the
Old Royal City.
Another fine outlook over Bangkok is obtained by climbing the winding
stairway to the top of the Golden Mount above Wat Saket near to the Democracy
The omnipresent tuk-tuks ( onomatopoeic name for small three-wheeler taxi )
can be used to visit the more distant street markets of Chinatown or the
infamous, red-light district of Patpong. ( My Thai friends Chana and Preecha
were appalled to hear that in Britain the two things most commonly associated
with Thailand were sex and drugs ).
Con-men ( and women ) are another danger for the lone tourist in Bangkok.
Extremely plausible they can usually be detected by their over-friendliness -
too good to be true.

Clergy Burnout
I'm grateful to my friend Pam Garrud to pointing on her Facebook profile to this piece in the New York Times about clergy burnout. As someone who needs medication to control hypertension and whose girth has increased, some of it hit home.
I'm not one of those ministers who fails to take their annual leave in the way the first page of the article describes. I do try to take some exercise. Usually after the school run, I get out the iPod and go for a brisk walk. However, that doesn't stop me wondering what some less charitable members of a congregation might think if they saw me out walking. I was told at college that ministers should be at their desks at 9 am. I, however, might well be walking. Of course, most church members are fine about it. It just takes the vociferous minority. Not that they ever say it to your face. You hear on the grapevine.
The importance of stillness and sabbath is critical. I have seen ministers wreck themselves with workaholism. In the middle of the day, I was able to smell the alcohol on the breath of one (now deceased) Superintendent. To say nothing of how he spoke publicly about his wife.
But the NY Times piece rightly goes further than just ministers not taking care of themselves. On the second of the two pages, it talks about the pressures of declining and aging congregations. It talks about how clergy push themselves further, due to these factors. What it doesn't say is that those same factors lead some churches to place extra strains of expectation upon their ordained staff. 'Miracle worker' might just as well be put in the job description.
To that end, when I was formally welcomed here, I quoted Monty Python:
He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy.
The trouble is, many of us in the ministry don't believe in the grace we preach. And nor do our congregations. We are paying a price.

You know, I keep wondering sometimes why we put so much demand on a pastor, especially in churches that don't give him control over church matters. How can we demand so much and provide so little? It's honestly one of the things that makes me hesitant to go back to seminary and become a preacher.
I like this post. especially the Python. Is that from Life of Bryan? Anyway, I wish the data compared our reltive age with the GP because depression and hypertension are age-related. Too, other helping profession should have been correlated not just the GP.
Clergy's stressors are higher, off the charts higher, so it's not wonder. Yes, sabbath helps but it's also about the structure of the job itself, which takes its cue, at least in the UMC from the 18th century. I believe it's unreal and needs to change, or should we just get back on our horses??
"However, that doesn't stop me wondering what some less charitable members of a congregation might think if they saw me out walking." I can totally relate to that in every manner possible.
Nil illegitimi carborundum, as they say. If 'certain members of the congregation' have a problem with the minister going for a walk, they have a problem, period. Perhaps giving them something to complain about is truly ministering to them – they're only happy when they're complaining!
To be honest, if that's all they have to worry about, they're well blessed.
Oh, yes. It's a well-known phenomenon that a minister only becomes perfect when he is being described to his successors. |Indeed, the principle reason for decline the church is the decline in the quality of ministry, because no minister has ever lived up to the standards of those who went before, so successive generations are getting worse, so…
: "We're all doooomed!"
Hi Dave, did I read that right…the minister and the congregation do not believe in the grace we preach and this is a lack of faith? Can you explain what you mean? I can understand that the loud voices of the minority can stifle the mission and the ministry and I am very disappointed. These people should not be tiring you out and stopping the joy. Judgement from others is surely what Jesus himself spoke out against many times. Also I don't get that desk advice from college, because if you are walking you are out there in the world with the people. As a nurse I would urge you to WALK if you have hypertension!
I know it is nothing to do with me, but hope you don't mind me commenting.
Lastly, good idea to quote Monty Python and not Father Ted, particularly the character of Jack!
My first super told me that when he was a prob, the super would phone at 9.00 to make sure he was 'shaved and shod' and in his study. That was in the days when a minister would spend every morning in the study, every afternoon out visiting people in their homes, and every evening in meetings and fellowships. It was also the days when TV played the National Anthem and everyone went to bed before midnight. Now that people work odd hours, meetings and visits can happen at any point in the day, and the internet has made us a 24/7 society, those old disciplines really do need retranslation. My wife and I are night owls, rarely in bed before 1.00 – it isn't unusual for me to be engaged in emails or blogs at silly o'clock. Now, if online discussion, evangelism, apologetics etc is part of ministry, why should I be so fixed about the supposed being at my desk by 9.00? We are fortunate in that (for the most part) we have a high degree of freedom to order our working life as we please, with certain fixed points dictated by the business of running the church.
As you say, more grace in our attitudes to work would be much healthier. How much of the pressure we self-inflict or allow others to impose is due to unresolved or hidden guilt? I'm not really good enough – must work harder? Irrelevant. A week or two ago, I was still in my study one afternoon, feeling a bit guilty I hadn't got my act together and gone visiting – then the phone rang, and I had two lengthy and profound pastoral phone conversations. If I'd gone out, those people would have met my answerphone, which doesn't have the same pastoral manner as the real me. God will use us, and that's why we're here.
But I still have to write that darn sermon and prepare that **** agenda! 😉
Thank you Dave for your comments and the reply to my query. I'll look out for that episode of Father Ted that you mentioned! I was also interested to read the comments of Tony Buglass. I am particularly interested at the moment in the theme of grace, hence my question. I can now see grace is a component of healing, allows you to channel God's love according to His agenda and is vital to mission. The old school of whip cracking rules don't sound so hot and I guess you have made that point. Tomorrow, perhaps then a nice lie in..wake up naturally…the midweek services…some hanging around as the Inner Voice directs, ah yes and that walk 🙂

Get closer to your clients with CloudFlare
I get phone calls often asking about CloudFlare. What is CloudFlare? The biggest part of CloudFlare, apart from the cool features to protect your website from a range of online threats from spammers to SQL injection to DDOS, it is about getting closer to your clients in global perspective, maybe in terms of online business connectivity.
Not too much of words to describe how your site can get closer to your clients, here's a comparison on how vastspace.net with and without CloudFlare enabled.
With CloudFlare enabled, your website content are distributed to 28 data centers around the world. CloudFlare CDN automatically caches your static files using their edge nodes so these files are stored closer to your visitors while delivering your dynamic content directly from your web server. CloudFlare then uses a technology called Anycast to route your visitors to the nearest data center. The result is that your website, on average, loads twice as fast for your visitors regardless of where they are located.
You'll be able to see the exact speed benefits and savings with your personalized CloudFlare analytics report at CloudFlare portal if you are a subscriber. On average, a website on CloudFlare loads twice as fast for its visitors, sees 65% fewer requests and saves 60% of bandwidth.
Most importantly, it costs as little as $15 /month for a site on CloudFlare Pro subscription at Vastspace. In business perspective, it's bang for the buck.

Leeds City Council has today released additional details of the financial support being made available to help households and businesses recover from the recent floods.
In terms of households, the council is offering two schemes to help domestic properties affected by flooding following Storm Eva:
- A £500 compensation scheme to help householders recover from the floods. This may, for instance, help with rental costs at a temporary home.
- A council tax relief scheme to aid longer-term issues caused to residential properties by the flood, with 100 per cent discount on council tax for a minimum of three months
The £500 compensation will be a cash payment to householders affected. For details of the qualifying criteria for properties as well as additional support and guidance on flood recovery visit the council's website at www.leeds.gov.uk/council/Pages/Council-support-for-flood-hit-homes-and-businesses.aspx.
The council is looking to make payments as quickly as possible and expects the first payments to be issued today directly into householders' bank accounts where it has got all the information needed to make a decision.
In terms of businesses affected by Storm Eva the council is offering a range of measures including:
- A grant scheme providing up to £2,500 in cash to aid immediate clean-up and recovery costs.
- Full business rates relief for a minimum period of three months
- Visits to affected properties to assess damage and advice on recovery
- Environment health advice for businesses
- Assistance for firms needing to find alternative premises
- A flood resilience grant of up to £5,000 available to help make commercial premises more resilient to any future flooding - further details on this will be published at a later date.
The financial schemes are available to eligible businesses only. To see the full criteria visit www.leeds.gov.uk/council/Pages/Council-support-for-flood-hit-homes-and-businesses.aspx
The council is also working with the Manufacturing Advisory Service and Leeds City Region LEP to assist manufacturing businesses impacted by the floods, with visits already being made to more than 30 businesses to assess the damage and advise on the recovery to help get businesses back in operation as soon as possible.
Leader of Leeds City Council Councillor Judith Blake said:
"The flood waters may have thankfully now receded but the problem has by no means gone away, people and businesses are still suffering so we need to do everything we can to help them make a full recovery as soon as possible and hopefully these measures can start that process. The point has been made loud and clear that in order to stop this happening again Leeds needs comprehensive flood defences to be in place as soon as possible, and we will continue to press the government until that has been successfully achieved.
"I would like to take this opportunity again to thank everyone in Leeds who helped and continues to offer help to those in need. All of the council officers, many of whom volunteered their services, deserve huge amounts of credit alongside the efforts of the emergency services and hundreds of community-based volunteers. Many stories are emerging of amazing efforts to help, such as the NHS nurses who visited people's homes supported by the police in order to make sure some of our most vulnerable residents were safe. It is that sort of selfless commitment which makes me so proud of our city but it is important to stress the work very much still needs to go on."
In addition to the support on offer to those affected, the council is also working with the Leeds Community Foundation on their fundraising appeal.
Funds raised from the appeal will be used to provide grants to affected householders, businesses and community groups. Donations can be made online at www.justgiving.com/leeds-flood-relief-appeal or by sending a cheque made payable to Leeds Community Foundation to Leeds Flood Relief Appeal, Leeds Community Foundation, 51a St Paul's Street, Leeds LS1 2TE. Further details can be seen at www.leedscf.org.uk.
Those residents or businesses looking for support can find out the details at www.leeds.gov.uk/council/Pages/Council-support-for-flood-hit-homes-and-businesses.aspx, call 0113 222 4444 or email email@example.com

Casement windows open like entryways. Like entryways, either the left or right side is pivoted or, all the more precisely they are turned and the non-pivoted side bolts safely into the right spot with hooks. Not at all like an entryway, has the casement window opened not by a handle or handle but rather by method for some variety of a wrench.
Should You Buy it?
Casements and replacement windows are crackpots, the red-headed stepchild of the window business that don't exactly get enough regard. Whenever shut, they are water and air proof. If the wind originates from an anticipated course, you can utilize the opened bands to smorgasbord more air into your home. Be that as it may, casements are additionally famous for separating, and new home purchasers regularly turn up their nose when they see an excess of casements on a house for replacement windows.
Extremely Weathertight
Need a window that forestalls air invasion? Obviously, the most weathertight window are the replacement windows. But, the second most weathertight window is a casement, trailed by sliding windows.
Why you may not want them?
More Mechanical Parts to Get Broken
Most casement windows have some kind of wrench which you swing to transparent the scarf. Contrasted with the simple operation of a twofold hung window, or a slider window, a window wrench is extremely unpredictable and inclined to breakage and you are required to call a window replacement company then.
They May Conflict With Each Other
A bathroom casement may not let the room casement open the distance. Then again the other way around, in any case you wish to take a look at it. Before you hurry to judgment and say, "Never me" or A great developer would anticipate this issue, consider that turning around one or both casements might simply struggle with another casement for having the right replacement windows. The main genuine arrangement then is to have a twofold hung or slider window. In which case, you no more have your casements.
Routine A/C Units Will Not Fit
If you have aeration and cooling system window units, they won't fit in casement windows. Window units fit best in twofold hung windows in light of the fact that the sliding scarf can shut down to close the window unit. Be that as it may, casement scarves can't do this. Not just that, casement window scarves don't open sufficiently far to permit you to introduce the window unit.read more info from the link : http://www.glassonweb.com/news/index/27965/
More Exposed to Elements
Because casements open outward, the edges are presented to sun, downpour, snow, and the sky is the limit from there. The top edge especially is uncovered and gets weather-beaten quick. Once more, it's anything but difficult to hurry to judgment and guarantee that you will religiously close your casement windows before the downpour, reconsider.
Screens on the Inside
Because casement windows' bands open outward, screens must be within. Do you have children? Do you have pooches or felines who like to remain on rear legs and watch out windows? Provided that this is true, you can as of now see the issue here.
Sun Reflection
Because of edge of the opened band, they can reflect sun straightforwardly into the house and you may need some replacement windows to be replaced by some expert window replacement company.

The EZCooldown Performers vest is specially designed for actors, cosplayers, LARPers, fursuiters, and other costume performers.
This cooling vest provides hours of cooling comfort and prevention against heat stress thanks to four special PCM inserts which provide comfortable cooling relief for up to four hours, even during strenuous activities in high-temperature environments
The EZCooldown Performers vest is made out of thin yet durable polyester mesh which won't add a thermal insulating layer to your outfit.
The four inside pockets can house four PCM inserts: two on your chest and two on your lower back. Changing the inserts for a set of fresh ones can be done in minutes.
So while you are wearing one set you can keep a second set in your refrigerator or freezer or a bucket of ice water. This way you can stay cool forever!
You can also store activated sets in a cooler or insulated bag. They'll stay cold for up to 12 hours.
When you need maximum cooling for a short amount of time, choose the blue 15°C (59°F) PCM packs.
When you prefer longevity over absolute cooling ability, go for the yellow 21°C (70°F) PCM packs.
Next to these standard temperatures, we manufacture PCM inserts in other temperatures on request, ranging from 6.5°C (43°F) to 29°C (84°F). Please contact us for details.
As well as different temperatures, we offer PCM packs in two different configurations:
The 8-cell packs are thin and flexible. They'll fit under virtually any costume but offer less cooling longevity compared to the 4-cell packs.
The 4-cell inserts contain approximately 35% more PCM so they'll keep you cool for longer.
They're a bit thicker though, so they're less suitable under skin tight costumes.
Our inserts use a revolutionary and unique bio-based phase change technology to keep you comfortably cool. Our PCM inserts can be worn directly on the skin without risking frostbite, tissue damage or discomfort.
Our PCM inserts work as the ambient temperature rises, the PCM starts to melt. During the phase transition, the PCM stores energy as latent heat, maintaining a constant temperature until the PCM is completely melted. When the ambient temperature lowers, the PCM will begin to crystallise. As this crystallisation happens the PCM releases the stored latent heat, maintaining a constant temperature until all released
The PCM inserts can be quickly activated in your refrigerator or freezer.
It's best to not stack the inserts as it will extend their activation time.
The inserts can also be activated in ice water
Our revolutionary PCM is made from bio materials of vegetable origin and USDA certified. Our bio PCM is non-toxic, low-flammable, durable, reuseable, 20% lighter than water and does not produce condensation.
Our vests come in three sizes and can be easily adjusted with the six Velcro straps to fit each individual wearer perfectly. This snug fit makes the vest virtually invisible under costumes, adding only 5.5 cm (2 3/16") of chest circumference when using the six-cell inserts and 6.2 cm (2 1/2") when using the four-cell inserts.
Will fit anyone with a height of 150 cm-180 cm (4'11"-5'11") and a chest/belly circumference of 70 cm-140 cm (27"- 55")
Will fit anyone with a height of 170 cm-190 cm (5'7"-6'3") and a chest/belly circumference of 80 cm-150 cm (31"-59")
Will fit anyone with a height of 180 cm-210 cm (5'11"-6'11") and a chest/belly circumference of 90 cm-160 cm (35" – 63")
Please note that standard T-shirt sizes do not apply for this vest
If you're in between sizes, we advise ordering the smaller size.
If the size you ordered doesn't fit, you can simply return the vest and we will send you a different size at no cost.

Le TREC is a three-phase event that tests the obedience and training of the horse, along with the riding skill, knowledge and trail sense of the rider. During each phase, different skills will be tested. Le TREC has its roots in France as a way to test equestrian trail guides. It is now a sport that is rapidly gaining popularity and combines elements of competitive trail riding, trail classes, equitation and competitive mounted orienteering.
Phase One: Parcours d'Orientation et de Régularité
Phase one is mounted orienteering, known as POR. Riders follow a trail that they've plotted on their own maps from information provided by the organizers. The horses must be checked for fatigue or injury by veterinarians at pre-determined spots, and riders must check in at other unmanned checkpoints. The rider must wear and carry certain items such as helmets, high visibility clothing, hoof care items, first-aid kit, halter and lead rope and of course, map and compass. Depending on the level of competition, this phase of the competition may be from 12 km (7 miles) to 45 km (28 miles). Points can be lost for things like going off course, missing checkpoints or even losing your POR record card.
Phase Two: Maîtrise des Allures or Control of Paces
The CoP phase looks simple enough, but it's actually far more challenging as my daughter discovered when her Pony Club attended a le TREC competition set up for them. A 150 m (165 yds) by about 2 meters (2 yds) lane is marked on the ground. The rider must gallop up the lane at a slow controlled pace, and walk the horse smartly back to the start line. Points are lost for going breaking gait or going off course.
Phase Three: Parcours en Terrain Varie
PTV is an obstacle course of up to sixteen obstacles or tests of skills. All must be completed within a specified time frame. There may be jumps over natural or man-made obstacles, skill tests like mounting and dismounting or trailer loading, or bridges, stairs, gates and low hanging branches. You may opt to go around an obstacle but will receive 0 points for it. Each obstacle is worth ten points, and points are deducted for things like going too fast, sloppy riding or a misbehaving horse.
The Goal
The goal of Le TREC is to develop a safe, well-trained trail horse that can deal with anything it encounters while out on the trail, whether alone or in a group. The rider too will learn skills that will make trail riding easier, safer and more enjoyable.
Equipment You'll Need
Check the rules for a full list of gear you and your horse need to wear, and what you'll need to carry. I've listed a few above and all are things that a trail rider, who may be far from home could need to stay safe and comfortable.
Preparing Your Horse
Your horse will have to be well schooled and trail safe. Learning about the different obstacles you may encounter can help you replicate them at home, and practice before the competition. Your horse will have to be brought into condition, so they don't become too fatigued during the longer sections of the phases.
Preparing Yourself
You'll want to be fit enough to ride the longer phases, so you'll need to put miles on your horse to help you become fitter. You'll need to know a bit about orienteering, even if just on foot. Because you can ride the orienteering phase with another rider, it may help to find someone who can help you learn along the way.
The Benefits of Hunting
Preparing for le TREC will result in a more obedient, safe and fit horse. Ultimately, le TREC develops well-rounded trail horses and confident, skilled trail riders.

If the required additional shipping charge is not paid for at the time of checkout, we will contact you to make arrangements to pay the additional charge. Once we have received your payment, we will begin processing your order.
X-Treme electric bicycles and scooters are shipped via UPS Ground, FedEx Ground, Road Runner Freight and AIT Worldwide Freight to the lower 48 states. Most all orders will ship the same day as ordered if the order is submitted before 3 p.m. Mountain Time. Some parts orders and freight shipments may be shipped the following business day if the order is placed close to the 3 p.m. cutoff time. All X-Treme products ship from their Washington State warehouse. Shipping time is typically 2 to 7 days, depending on how far you are from the warehouse.
Please note that an adult signature is required on all shipments. The shipper will not just leave the item on your front porch. If you are not available when the shipment arrives, you will need to contact the shipper to arrange for delivery.
Heavy items must be shipped via freight and there may be an additional charge
Large, heavy items that must be shipped via freight (the XB-504 & the Cabo Cruiser) include Free Shipping, but only to the nearest freight terminal or to businesses that have a loading dock. (Home businesses do not qualify as a business address; business addresses must be to a commercial business location). If you ship to a business, but it does not have a loading dock, you will have to pay the additional $30 fee for lift-gate delivery. Resorts, camp grounds and hotels do not qualify for business delivery.
The cost for home delivery of the XB-504 or the Cabo Cruiser is an additional $50. This includes delivery to your residence outside/curbside to ground level. It does not include inside delivery or delivery inside an apartment complex to upper or lower levels. We strongly suggest you pay for home delivery of these large freight items unless you are prepared to drive to the nearest pick-up terminal and load/unload these large heavy items yourself. If you do not live in a major city, the closest terminal may be more than 30 miles away from your residence. We will automatically ship to a terminal that is less than 30 miles from your residence. If it is more than that you will be contacted with terminal information, so that you can decide if you still wish to pick it up. If you decide to change to residential delivery after an item has shipped, there may additional fees subject to be charged besides the standard $50 fee.
Any freight delivery that is not picked up at the terminal or refused by the customer is subject to all shipping charges (original and return) being withheld from the refund.
A phone number is required by the freight company so that a delivery appointment can be made. Failure to provide this at the time of order may cause a delay in delivery as freight items will not be delivered without an appointment.
An additional $50 fee is also charged for shipping to New York City & Suburbs, Martha's Vineyard and any island delivery within the 48 contiguous United States.

Because USPS is the only method to ship to APO addresses, products weighing more than 70 pounds are not able to be shipped. Therefore, the only products that can be shipped to an APO address are the City Express, Trail Maker, Trail Climber, X-Cursion, Newport and Malibu. (Please note that shipments to APO addresses can take 3-4 weeks to arrive.)
You will be contacted via email by one of our Customer Care Representatives with a specific shipping charge quote for your order.
We do not ship to anywhere in Africa, Singapore, Greece, Indonesia or Israel
Note to international customers: You are responsible for any and all duties or taxes that may apply. (see details below).
Shipment of certain scooters into Canada is not possible as Canadian DOT requirements are such that X-Treme would have to manufacture a special scooter just to meet these regulations, which is not feasible at this time. Following are the models that can be sent to Canada:
City Express, Trail Maker, Trail Climber, X-Cursion, Newport, Malibu, Summit 36V, Summit 48V, Baja, Kona, Hanalei, Alpine, Sierra, XB-504, and the Cabo Cruiser.
As described in the shipping section above, all units shipped by ground to Canada (including all units listed above except the XB-504 and Cabo Cruiser XB-615) will incur a flat additional shipping fee of $210 per unit. This includes shipping and customs/duties fees. You are not responsible for any additional fees associated with the delivery of their unit. All fees will be covered by the flat rate fee.
Units shipped via freight carrier (XB-504 and Cabo Cruiser XB-615) will incur a flat rate of $150 per unit additional shipping charge, but this only includes shipping. Customs/duties fees are still the responsibility of the customer. Customer must arrange customs clearance with the broker of their choice and payment for those additional fees will need to be made prior to delivery. We highly recommend that you arrange for a broker prior to placing your order. If you place an order and the shipment has left the warehouse and you later decide to cancel, you will be responsible for all shipping fees (ship to and return) and those fees will be deducted from your refund. If the shipment crosses the Canadian border and is returned to X-Treme, you will also be charged for any customs fees we are charged for the item's re-entry into the United States.
OTHER INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS û CUSTOMS, DUTIES, AND TAXES
Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. The recipient of an international shipment may be subject to customs brokerage fees, import duties, and taxes after the shipment reaches the destination country. Additional charges are the responsibility of the recipient because we have no control over these government-imposed charges and cannot determine what they may be. Customs policies vary greatly among countries. Therefore, we cannot, and will not, offer advice about taxes in your country. We report the amount of the sale on the Customs form. Please do not ask us to claim less than the actual purchase amount. It is the customer's responsibility to know the legality of the products ordered in their country. Do not order items that are illegal to import into your country. Laws are different in every country and we cannot keep up with them all. It is your responsibility to check with your Customs office to see if your country permits the shipment of our products to your country.
As the buyer, it is your responsibility to find out that information before you place your order. Please contact your local customs office for information. To avoid a delay in receiving your order from customs, consider the following:

NFL Week 10 Predictions 2010: Two NFC West divisional rivals clash in a week 10 NFL picks contest, as the San Francisco 49ers (2-6) versus the St. Louis Rams (4-4) in week ten of the NFL predictions season. The 49ers have won the last four NFL predictions match-ups against St. Louis and Vegas odds makers have picked San Francisco as -6 point NFL predictions favorites at home.
In San Francisco, Troy Smith has taken over the starting quarterback job and flourished in last game, a 24-16 NFL predictions victory over the Denver Broncos. Smith ran for a score and threw for a score and seemed to ignite the 49ers dormant offense. Michael Crabtree at receiver has come along as of late, Frank Gore has nearly 1,000 yards in total offense, but, overall, the team is still lagging this NFL picks season at the bottom of the NFL rankings. Patrick Willis continues to shine on defense but, overall, the team needs more big plays.
In contrast, Sam Bradford has taken every snap at quarterback and has been growing each week of the 2010 NFL predictions season. The Rams defeated the Carolina Panthers in their NFL predictions contest last week, continuing a streak of win one, loss one, football, the trademark of a young team. The Rams are in the middle of the pack in virtually every category, but the defense is much improved over 2009, when they were, by far, the worst unit in football. Stephen Jackson, as always, provides stability and punch in the back field.
The 49ers are favored but the Rams are 5-2 against the Vegas spread as underdogs, including 2-1 on the road. Look for the Rams to cover the spread in this NFL week 10 predictions contest, but San Francisco emerging with the NFL week 10 predictions victory at home.

Bill Shankly took the long walk from humble beginnings in an obsolete mining village to the annals of football. Surviving the harsh conditions of his Glenbuck village, he took to football had been capped eleven times for the Scottish team. As a player, he joined 'Carlisle United', an English club based in Carlisle, Cumbria. Later, he played for 'Preston North End', a club in Preston, Lancashire that won the 'Football Association Challenge Club' or FA Cup. Following his service in the 'Royal Air Force' during Second World War, he retired from playing as he was ageing, but instead of quitting the game, he started working as football manager. He worked for Carlisle and a few other clubs before being appointed as the team manager of Liverpool. After taking charge of Liverpool, he worked hard to revive the club, which had been in a deteriorating condition with poor training facilities and under trained staff. Shankly and his team turned the situation around, and soon, the team brought home many victories including FA and UEFA cups. After managing Liverpool for fifteen years, he retired from the post of football manager. He passed away seven years later, entrusting the reins of responsibility in the hands of his assistant, Bob Paisley.

Recommended Lists:Career
- At 20, Bill Shankly was a swarthy, energetic and dedicated player at Carlisle United, and was a non-smoker, teetotaller and fitness freak. In 1933, he was transferred to Preston North End for �500 where his career blossomed well.He formed a great partnership with fellow footballer Robert Kelly, who was also an international player. Together, they revived the club's performance, and raised it to the status of first division.In the 1933-34 season, he made his debut and was assessed as a player with tenacity and boundless energy. He was praised for his dedicated play and was adjudged as a player who was full of new ideas for good football.In the season 1936-37, Preston North End club reached the finals of the 'FA Cup' but was defeated. However, Shankly's team recovered and came back with a bang in the next year's session and won the cup, and finished third in the league, putting him at the pinnacle of his career.In the period 1938-43, he also represented his country, Scotland, in twelve matches. He played with utmost dedication, and his best and his only goal for Scotland came at Wembley stadium where he made a 50 yard shot to the goal.League football restarted after the Second World War and in the 1946-47 season, Shankly was retained by 'Preston North End'. But he was already 33 years old– too old to be on the playing side.He resigned as player from 'Preston" and joined 'Carlisle United' as manager, in the year 1949. His resignation from 'Preston' was met with some criticism from other members, and he was refused a chance to play a benefit match, which was a big let-down for him.As the manager of 'Carlisle United' from the year 1949 to 1951, he changed the work ethics and took the team from the fifteenth position to the third.

However, his statistics did not do much to improve the club's position which was at 12th, went up to 9th and finished at 14th position under him.The years from 1949 to 1964 were his most remarkable ones as he worked on transforming a derelict Liverpool team to bring it up to the third position in the league. He had to start from scratch, improving the practice grounds and then providing the right training to the players.It was Shankly's greatest ambition to win the FA Cup, which Liverpool did for the first time in 1965, and once again eight years later. Apart from this, he had under his belt, the UEFA Cup and FA Charity Shield, which his team won several times.Even after retirement in 1974, Shankly continued to be involved with football, appearing on radio chat shows connected to the game, helping other players and taking up advisory roles.

Preconception Testing
Definition - What does Preconception Testing mean?
Preconception testing involves testing both the female and male partners for blood disorders, infections or genetic diseases prior to conceiving a child, in order to detect conditions that can cause abnormalities in the child or lead to complications during pregnancy.
Early detection of a potential abnormality before pregnancy allows the individual or couple and their healthcare team to anticipate and take necessary actions to potentially treat or prevent such a condition. Preconception testing can also reveal conditions that can be the underlying cause of infertility.
FertilitySmarts explains Preconception Testing
Preconception genetic testing is recommended if one or both partners:
- Having a past history of sexually transmitted infection
- Have not received routine vaccination (eg; rubella)
- Are known to have a genetic disorder
- Are known to be a carrier of a genetic disorder
- Having a family history of genetic disorders
- From a specific ethnic group that is at risk of genetic disorders
Some of the conditions that are routinely tested for in preconception testing include:
|Blood counts
|Low red blood cell count, Iron deficiency,
|Blood group
|Rubella, Hepatitis, HIV, Syphilis, Herpes
|Genetically inherited diseases
|Cystic fibrosis, Sickle cell anemia, Fragile X syndrome, Spinal muscular atrophy

California Blogging
I am in Sacramento, California. Mrs. Gruff, Baby Gruff, and I flew out to California about two weeks ago and hung around Mountain View with some old friends and their new baby girl until today. We've spent our time hiking through redwood forests, tiptoeing around T-Rex-and-flamingo-infested Google-land, admiring jelly-bean art, and nibbling on Cookie-bottom Sundaes.
I left out a few things, mainly all the time we were stuck in traffic listening to babies cry, our unplanned visit to the Sausalito Food Poisoning Institute, and the numerous diaper changes. I made sure to record some of the baby cries, because I know how much my mother-in-law treasures them (they make her laugh).
The Gunslinger and the Princess
I have a guilty urge to stay on topic, so I'll discuss what I've been reading out here - Steven King's The Dark Tower, Volume One: The Gunslinger, and Mister Troll's recommendation, The Princess Bride. I raced through The Gunslinger on the flight over, but didn't quite finish. After arriving, I read it out loud to Baby Gruff each morning until I finished the book. I enjoyed it, but I think the goofy philosophical mumbo-jumbo could have been too much for the boy at his age. He's only 10 weeks old, and by the end of some passages he was cross-eyed and drooling. . . but maybe that's normal. I think he enjoyed the gun fighting and cowboy-knight mythology, and every scene involving Cort. I sure did.
Next, I read The Princess Bride out loud to Baby Gruff. I think he got more out of it than I did. First of all, he has not seen the movie, so every page was a surprise to him. Secondly, he slept through most of Goldman's asides, which I felt often took away from the experience anyway. Thirdly, he wasn't left with the impression that the movie was better than the book, because he had never seen it.
Now, don't get me wrong. The book is pretty darned good, and it contains a few things that the movie does not. But if there's one thing I can say about the movie, it's that it's the best movie adaptation of a book I have seen to date. I don't think I go too far when I say that the movie successfully functions as an abridged version of Goldman's work, cutting out some of his satire and mediocre humor. All of the funniest stuff is in there, and little was cut. Where there were cuts (e.g. the Inigo and Fezzik history flashbacks), the important information was delivered well.
To Be Continued....
I'll fill you in with more California blogging as my vacation continues. Harry Potter, Neil Gaiman, and kung fu feature prominently.
