Ridge vent offers high ventilation
Benjamin Obdyke Inc. has expanded its shingle over roof ridge vent line with the Shark Vent™ XLP, an externally baffled ridge vent that extracts heat and moisture from residential attics. The ridge vent reportedly is strong and easy to install and features a net free area of 12 inches per square linear foot; "sine wave" shaped internal and external baffles with 1/8-inch-wide vent holes; installation guides, including nail lines, slot lines and a center line to simplify alignment; a wide center area; and a filtered option (Xtra) for extreme weather areas. The shrink-wrapped rolls reportedly are flexible, compression-resistant and resist cracking in cold weather.

*An upcoming song from Nas includes lyrics that accuse his ex-wife Kelis of infidelity.
The track, titled "Strong Will Continue," is from his forthcoming album "Distant Relatives," reports New Zealand's 3 News. [Listen to the track below.]
The former couple's four year marriage ended with Kelis filing for divorce last year, just months before giving birth to their son Knight in July. The artists have been embroiled in a nasty divorce battle ever since.
At issue has been the amount of child and spousal support Kelis should receive after Nas was ordered to pay more than $51,000 per month.

Crisp and light, yet full of flavour!
V // Vegan // GF // DF
Use rice papers, and any flavours you enjoy for these lightly baked bundles of joy.
Baked spring roll are made with rice paper wraps. They are made from simple ingredients such as rice, water, tapioca flour, and salt, flattened and dried to a wrap. These are more readily available in supermarkets now, but you may need to nip to a local speciality food market to get some.
Back to the rolls. They are great value as you normally get about 20 sheets for no more than £2, so you can experiment with a host of flavour and filling combinations.
The sheets are generally softened in hot or cold water depending on instructions, however the ones I bought had no instructions. I tried both and found hot water was better.
I dipped in hot water for about 30 seconds then placed onto a dry, clean tea towel and gave 1 pat, just to take off the surface water.
You still want them slightly tacky so when rolled they stick together. I would dip and roll as you go. You can dip batches, but I find they stick together a little.
Baked Spring Rolls – Sweet Chilli & Vegetable
Makes 6-8 rolls
Prep time 15 -30 minutes
Cook time 10 minutes
6-8 rice papers
1 carrot, grated
1 handful of spinach chopped
1 red pepper, finely chopped
1 spring onion cut into thin strips
¼ handful coriander, chopped
¼ a large red chilli, finely chopped
Thumb size amount of ginger, thinly sliced
1 slab/nest vermicelli noodles, cooked as per instructions
melted coconut oil to brush rolls
1 tablespoon of peanut butter
Little splash of dark soy
Sweet chilli sauce to serve
Mix all ingredients except rice papers and sweet chilli sauce in a bowl.
Put 2-3 tablespoons of mixture onto softened rice papers and roll.
Brush with coconut oil.
Place on a wire rack in a baking tray and bake at 200°C for 7-10 minutes until crisp. TIP – you pop them on a wire rack to allow easy removal after baking.
Serve with sweet chilli sauce and enjoy these delicious baked spring rolls.

First of all I found a reason for it- among all the social media channels (Twitter, Facebook, vkontakte, Gmail, Issuu), it is probably the only thing, where I really can store the story of each сreature I did.
And from another hand, I also understand, that probably I am content-creator- not promoter!
Thats why this blog is still storage of things, it is not interactive and there are so few readers...
One of the last things I did was My Portfolio of works, graphical works. May be you have already seen this for 10 times. But I decided to so something formal as CV, which you need to have.

Podcast #2, Poop Car
New podcast where I talk about this car and other stuff. You can find the podcast on the sidebar and here.
Rebuilding the machine
First, holy shit I'm actually writing something on this blog. Right?
This is my first post in 2012 and this is what's what.
Things that haven't changed: I'm still single. I have the same job. I live in the same apartment. I still have 4 cats.
Things that have changed: My state of mind, my attitude, and my body.
Over the past 5 months, I've come to view my body as a machine. I was once in such good shape, a talented athlete. But like a machine, you have keep up with the maintenance. I didn't.
I decided in February that I wanted to run a very popular race in Philly, a 10 mile race that requires runners to run a 15 minute mile or faster. This was a huge decision for me. I was running slow at the time I made the decision and needed a goal. This race is so popular that I didn't get in at first, but got picked in the lottery. I felt like this was fate.
Running is hard work. When I got the word that I got into the race, I was running 3 miles, 3 times a week at a pace of 13 minutes per mile. I had to pick it up. I gradually increased how many times a week I ran and increased my distance. I got terrible blisters and lost the nail on my big toe on my left foot. I kept on running through body aches and a tight back and bad weather.
I pushed my body until my muscles started remembering what being fit felt like. I pushed until I could maintain a 9 minute mile pace over several miles. I pushed until I didn't have to worry about how my body felt because running felt like home again. Yes, home again. Muscle memory is amazing. My body remembered my gait and form. And even though I wasn't in shape enough to handle what my body wanted to do in the beginning, once my cardiovascular system could handle it I took off.
The hardest part about running is exercising your mental muscle. Finding the part of you that shuts the negative part of you off. Figuring out how to let go of fear and just relax. Learning to trust your body and realize that our machines were built for movement. I feel better when I keep moving. Rest only makes me hurt, both physically and mentally. Newton was right, "a body in motion stays in motion". I think of members of my family who sit around and don't move. The ridiculous walkers or canes they use, all because their leg muscles are too weak to carry their body weight. They have no injuries, except for a broken mind. What's the other cliche…"use it or lose it"? Too true. I don't want to be that person when I'm 50, a prisoner inside of a abandoned shack of a body. Who wants that? I see the 70-year-old runners at races with their smiles and strong bodies, and that's what I want not just for myself but for everyone.
I have changed. I am better. I am rebuilding my machine.
So, what's your excuse?
RIP Snooki the Cat
I woke up this morning disoriented. I get up every morning, no matter what day of the week, at 5 AM. The cats don't let me sleep in. This morning I could feel the time change. I felt weird. I got up and wandered around with my cup of coffee. I was restless, like something was going to happen today. I didn't know what, but it was in the air.
I met my mom for our new Sunday tradition of running 5K. I shaved 2 minutes off of my time, which I'm super happy about. The weather was beautiful and we run by the river, so the scenery is quite lovely.
After the run, I ran to the grocery store for some stuff. I hate going on Sunday, but I needed some greens and cheese and oatmeal. I saw 2 super hot guys shopping, one helping what looked like his dad do his shopping. So the shopping trip wasn't so terrible.
After I got home and put all of the stuff away and took a very necessary shower. I was ready to sit on my ass and relax the rest of the day. And then the phone rings…
My downstairs neighbor, the one who lives with Drunk Neighbor, tells me her cat is sick. He's just lying around and won't eat. Because I'm like the cat whisperer or something, I go down and check the cat. He is indeed a mess. He won't eat, he won't move, he won't respond to anything. I tell her she needs to take him to the vet immediately. She tells me that the cat hasn't been right for about 2 days, but then Drunk Neighbor interrupts and says that he noticed that the cat hasn't been himself for 4 weeks. I ask him why he didn't take him to the vet then, but got no real answer because Drunk Neighbor was, well, drunk.
I decide to drive my neighbor and the cat to the closest emergency center where we find out he has a blocked urinary tract and that they have to perform an emergency procedure where they unblock him, but then they'll have to keep the cat for 2-3 days for observation. My neighbor has no problem with the money, she just wants her cat better. We leave and let them do what they need to. About 1o minutes after we get home, my neighbor calls me hysterical crying that they had to put the cat down because he went into cardiac arrest as they were doing the surgery.
I feel so bad for her. The cat was only 2 years old. But here's my issue…how do not know your pet is sick? Maybe I'm harsh, but I can honestly tell you that my pets are in great health. I can tell you when they last ate, when the last drank water, when they used the box. I have had sick animals before, so I stalk these poor cats like a psycho hypochondriac mom. I'm always checking their paws, looking in their mouths, feeling their bellies. I'm always messing with them. They are my babies. So if one of these spoiled-ass cats started acting "not right" for even 1 day (let alone 4 fucking weeks) my ass would be at the vet. This really bothers me.
Now, I'm finally relaxing. My body is tired and I'm a little stressed out and sad. Poor Snooki the Cat. I have no idea why my neighbor named the poor cat that, but that was his name. He has a brother named Skittles and I'm sure the little guy will miss him. Skittles is perfectly healthy and will be going to the vet for a check-up this week because I told my neighbor I would stalk her until she took him.
Ugh. So much for a relaxing Sunday.
Two weeks have gone by and I am looking everywhere to see where they went…
The week after my pants were scared off watching The Walking Dead was horrible. Everything that could go wrong at work did. My energy was super low and I was having trouble sleeping. And I was PMS'ing hard-core. I had Friday that week off and I needed to take of some cores, and then I was going to work on bringing some serenity into my life for a few days.
It worked. Last weekend I recharged and felt great. My work week last week was super busy, but a good busy. You know, the type of busy where you feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of it. I was stressed out. I felt back to my normal self.
I've been running for the past 2 weeks. I was following the Couch to 5K program until I ran the 5K a few weeks ago. I realized that since I can run 5K, then I should just run for 45 minutes and not worry about how far I go. Everyday, I run a bit faster and further. It feels really great. My mom is really getting into running as well. We have decided to run on the river every Sunday morning.
I have today off and I'm straight chilling until 4 when I will go to my mom's and give out candy. I love doing this. I never get kids at my house and she gets loads. It's so much fun. The only thing that's annoying is when parents bring their babies up to trick or treat. It's obvious that the parents want the candy since their 6 month old can't eat it. I also get annoyed at the kids who think it's okay to not dress up and that just because they come to the house, we should give them candy. I don't want to give them candy, but my mom is afraid they'll come back and vandalize the house. Other than those types of people, it's a great time.
Happy Halloween!
I gots to be running
So before the year of all of the deaths and sick babies and family drama and drug addicted sisters and horrible luck…I was running about 20-25 miles a week. I wanted to run a marathon and was on my way.
And then I just got the blues. Life came in all at once and kept punching me in the face. I stopped running.
That was 3 years ago. I joined a gym a year later. It was a small gym and I liked it. I stayed there for over a year and then ended my membership because it was just so inconvenient to get there. I joined another gym last year and even hired a trainer, resulting in my injuring my hip and back.
That was January and I didn't work out for months. My body hurt. The chiropractor helped. Yoga helped too. But I missed running.
When I was running years ago, I was so happy. It was like free therapy. I just put my music on really loud and just go. I missed the peace. I missed how powerful my body was becoming. I missed the stamina it gave me. I slept so well. I just felt great.
This past Sunday, I started running again. I'm doing the couch to 5K program again, I did it many many years ago. I did the 5 minute warm-up and thought…I got this.
And then my thought pattern went like this:
First 1 minute run…hells yeah.
The 90 second walk after…phew that was great.
Next 1 minute run…shit, it's uphill.
90 second walk after…it's still uphill.
1 minute run…my ass is starting to hurt.
90 second walk after…now my calves are burning because it's still uphill.
1 minute run…shit.
90 second walk…I can do this.
1 minute run…when does this fucking hill even out.
90 second walk…an old man just yelled "Go get'em" at me. Or I think he was yelling to me.
1 minute run…a teenager just yelled out the window at me. I could get pissed, except I was just as big an asshole when I was a teen.
90 second walk…another damn hill.
1 minute run…I just farted, I hope nobody heard it.
90 second walk…it's really hot out here, why is it so hot in October.
1 minute run…the last run, I can do this…how can I be going uphill again.
5 minute cool down…fucking hills.
Tonight's run went so much better. My body felt good and I didn't struggle at all. I can't wait until I get used to the activity and can fly through my run. Tonight felt like I was on my way to that. I know there will be bad days, but today gave me hope. I just have to keep going.

Winter Work
I've been working on this series of "snow" paintings. I'm starting with a toned panel and then applying a heavy layer of light-toned paint. Using a very soft and thick piece of charcoal, I'm working back through the layer of paint to scribe the drawing back on the panel. The charcoal breaks up a bit and mixes in with the paint as I work. I frequently wipe off the charcoal on a rag or sometimes cut off a clean edge. Once finished, the charcoal seems to be really blended into the paint layer. I might add a coat of varnish or something like that to completely secure the charcoal to the surface.

Vivaldi Proposal; Open AR Browsing standard?
ThomasWrobel last edited by
deathshadow last edited by
I don't see this happening until you see it in Chrome first – because at it's heart Vivaldi is just a web application running on top of something much akin to nw.js, electron or some other blink based web application wrapper. (I'd be curious which one, or is it an in-house fork?)
The "program" itself -- the menu, the tabs, the panels, the controls -- that's just a html, CSS and JS document being rendered in blink. The standalone blink "wrapper" they are using exposing the <webview>tag for use, which is kind of a jacked up on monster tires version of the tag sitting in a nice little sandbox.

So until blink supports it? Don't see it happening. REALLY they aren't making a browser ENGINE that would implement things like that, they are making a UI around an existing engine to add useful features to the front-end.

I'm still playing with doing this myself as I have some of my own ideas on how this should be done – one of which includes kicking react.js to the curb.</webview>

Career Colleges » Wyoming » Health, Medical, and Nursing » Nursing, Licensed Practical
Looking for accredited career colleges, technical schools, and universities in Wyoming offering Nursing, Licensed Practical degrees. Research licensed practical nurse (LPN) programs..Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) and licensed vocational nurses (LVNs) provide basic nursing care.Wyoming is the one of the places in America where you can still capture the spirit of the Old West. This state has an abundance of cowboys, ranches, and real cowboy culture, where you will find rugged and hardy people always willing to help a neighbor, do what needs to be done, and speak their mind.
Although people respect and appreciate nurses most of us probably don't realize how many different types of nurses there are. Among many specializations available, some nurses choose to qualify for more senior (and better-paid) work by taking family nurse practitioner degrees to enhance their professional skills.
Nurse practitioners are licensed to provide primary healthcare at a stage beyond that of a registered nurse. They may diagnose and provide treatment for common illnesses, and they can also prescribe some medicines. A family nurse practitioner specializes in providing healthcare in a family context, working in a private practice, clinic, or hospital, among other locations.
If you are already (or are thinking of becoming) a registered nurse and you want to develop your career as a nurse practitioner you will need to study some advanced topics in nursing. Building on your existing range of expertise you will study subjects such as advanced pharmacology, advanced health assessment, the theory underlying family nursing, diagnostic techniques, and other courses to enable you to provide practitioner nurse services to the highest level. Add those to the skills brought forward from the bachelor's degree you already possess and you will see why the holders of family nurse practitioner degrees can look forward to excellent careers in their chosen field.
Find more schools to match to your needs.

Saskatchewan Sky and Pumpkin Pie
September 21, 2005
After a long day of travel, we've made it to the province of Alberta. I can tell that we're getting closer to home because the cable TV system here carries the stations from Spokane.
The prairies unfurled beneath our wheels today, from the wheat fields near Brandon, Manitoba, across the breadth of Saskatchewan, to the rolling rangeland of eastern Alberta. Hay bales that look like rolls of shredded wheat dominated the eastern landscapes today; later, grain elevators took over the horizon. By evening, I'd spotted sagebrush amid the roadside vegetation. After leaving the lakes and forests of western Ontario yesterday afternoon, we've somehow shifted from the east to the west. The landscape tells me, but so does the quality of the air: drier, crisper, tinged with a hint of sage.
Prairie driving is easy for me, with wide-open roadways and minimal traffic. The sky is what holds my attention here, the changing colors and clouds and shadows. Everything else seems small under the immense spacious heavens. And yet odd details grab my eye: a duck in that teardrop of a pond, diving as we pass; the rich copper of the swaying grasses; a lone hawk perched high atop the tree at the edge of the windbreak.
Early autumn has settled gently on the Canadian prairies, although the calendar marks today as the last full day of summer. The grasses and trees glow with the tawny shades of the season to come. Combines gather the last of the wheat harvest and long trains of grain cars haul the bounty to distant markets.
We hit another fun little lunch place today: The LC Corral in Broadview, Saskatchewan. I had missed the turn to a restaurant in the previous town – and I really hate to turn around when I've got momentum going. Broadview is not much more than a wide spot in the road, and the place didn't look like much from the outside, but the parking lot was full – always a good sign. Everything was delicious, down to the homemade pumpkin pie for dessert, and it was a bargain besides. The God of Hungry Travelers smiled on me.
Before stumbling upon the LC, I was pondering what it means to be open to the experience of the road. In order to have the joy of discovering a place like the LC, or like Lorraine's the other day, I have to remain open to the possibility of a mediocre or even bad experience. There are times when a standard product – like you'd find at a chain restaurant – is comforting, but the most memorable meals are found elsewhere. Buying a standard brand means we never have to have a bad experience, but is that what we really want? By eliminating the risk of the truly bad, aren't we also eliminating the possibility of true joy?
Of course, there are times when I'll choose the comfort of the familiar over the risk of the unknown; I've had several meals from Subway on this trip, not to mention my newfound fondness for Tim Horton's coffee. But I hope I choose places like the LC and Lorraine's more often than not, because I don't want them to go away. They don't just feed our bodies; they feed our souls.

Jeon Chung-won tends sheep on a hilly plantation where he was innate in PyeongChang, a farming county a few hours' expostulate easterly of South Korea's collateral Seoul.
"It's a simple, pacific place where a towering atmosphere hugs you," says Jeon, 32. "I unequivocally adore this place."
Only a handful of domestic tourists typically come to PyeongChang, to transport immature hills dotted with Buddhist temples or revisit a little ski hire nearby. But that is about to change.
Next year, this sprawling county of only 43,000 people will horde a 2018 Winter Olympics, East Asia's initial Winter Olympics to be hold outward of Japan. The opening rite is set for Feb 9.

Even South Koreans competence onslaught to find PyeongChang on a map. It's 80 miles easterly of Seoul and 40 miles south of a de-militarized section that separates North Korea and South Korea.
The county doesn't wish to be confused with North Korea's collateral city Pyongyang — so many so that PyeongChang altered a spelling of a name for a Olympic bid, capitalizing a 'C' in a middle. Nevertheless, a nominee to a new discussion there mistakenly flew to North Korea instead. Luckily, he was means to transport onward.
PyeongChang, not surprisingly, has been a favorite of chosen athletes — marathoners and skiers who sight in a hills. The city sits 2,300 feet above sea level, with purify towering atmosphere and lots of anniversary snow.
"When we came here for a initial time, this place was unequivocally undeveloped," says Bae Ji-young, 28, who changed here 15 years ago to sight with South Korea's inhabitant cross-country ski team. "Normally we have a lot of complicated snow. So we climbed each mountain."
Bae has watched hundreds of buildings — hotels, restaurants and sports venues — fire adult over a march of 3 Olympic bids by PyeongChang. The third was successful.
"We hear a lot of stories about a Olympic Games, where they're still building things as athletes travel in," says Nancy Park, a mouthpiece for a PyeongChang Organizing Committee. "We don't have that situation."
She says 97 percent of a area's Olympic venues are already complete. Half of them were built for prior Olympic bids. Organizers are installing 5G for Internet access, and enlivening internal cab drivers to learn English.

The challenge, however, is a surrounding infrastructure — or miss thereof.
Single-lane towering roads are being widened. There's no internal airport. A high-speed rail couple is being built from a collateral Seoul. Eight months out, all of PyeongChang is like an barrier march of orange cones.
And there's another probable hazard: North Korea, only 40 miles away.
North Korean athletes have been postulated singular accede to expostulate opposite a DMZ to compete.
"As of yet, they don't have any competent athletes, though if they do attend, they'll be staying in a Olympic village," Park says. "Obviously, there's a lot of courtesy on these North Korean athletes, though they are a pitch of a assent component of a Olympics."
When a North Korean promotion balloon recently blew opposite a border, South Korean soldiers stationed nearby PyeongChang dismissed 90 appurtenance gun rounds during it.
Residents contend they're some-more disturbed about interesting a estimated 80,000 Olympic tourists a day, come February. In further to newly built hotels, tourists will have a choice of engagement accommodation in some of a dozens of Buddhist temples that dot a forested PyeongChang hills. Some of a temples date behind to a 7th century and offer normal Korean church stays, in that visitors urge with Buddhist monks, nap overnight and assistance ready simple, locally grown meals.
A debate beam during one of a many famous temples, Woljeongsa, admits he's indeed a Catholic though says he's unapproachable to uncover off Korea's Buddhist past. Choi Du-yeol says he's been brushing adult on Korean story in allege of receiving tourists for a Olympic Games.
"We're all operative together to uncover off a little dilemma of Korea to a world," says Choi.

- Views:
1 Android Geek Night Application framework
2 Agenda 1. Presentation 1. Trifork 2. JAOO Google Android headlines 3. Introduction to an Android application 4. New project using ADT 5. Main building blocks of an application Activities, Services, Broadcast, Intent, Content Providers 6. Tools 7. Interfacing with sensors, GPS and SD card 8. QA 9. Recordbeater by Ole 10. Sandwich
3 Google Android Operating system targeting mobile devices Linux based - with additions Open source under the Apache License Allows development in Java Or Scala, JRuby, Groovy.. Share of 2010 Q2 smartphone sales to end users by operating system, according to Gartner.
4 Dalvik Virtual Machine Virtual machine developed by Google for mobile devices Uses the Dalvik Executable (.dex) format Designed for limited processing power and memory Register-based architecture as opposed to stack machine Java VMs JIT from 2.2 Class library based on Apache Harmony No AWT, Swing No Java MEDisplay data, handle user input, launch other activities
5 Architecture
6 Main Building Blocks
7 Activities Display data, handle user input, launch other activities An Activity is for an Android Application like a webpage for a webapp. Correspond (you might say) to a UI screen.
8 Activity Lifecycle
9 Views Activity UI is build using hierarchy of Views View is (mostly) defined in XML layout files Can be defined in code as well.. Components Layouts and UI Components Example HorizontalLayout, Button
10 Intent Intent objects are asynchronous messages used to activate Activities, Services and BroadcastReceivers Intent can be explicit (Give the class that you want started, Android OS will start) startactivity(new Intent(getApplicationContext(),MyActivity.class));
11 Intent 2 Intent can be implicit The Android OS resolved the action using IntentFilter (more on this later) Intent consist of a Action and Data (Implicit) Intent therefore says: "Do this" Intent.Action on "That" Intent.Data This is nice.. then we can do something like! Uri number = Uri.parse("tel: "); Intent dial = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_DIAL, number); startactivity(dial);
12 Intent Filter Intent is matched against IntentFilters. Specified in the AndroidManifest.xml (*) Can contain the following elements. <action android:name="..." /> <data android:mimetype="..." /> <category android:name="..." /> * The one exception would be filters for broadcast receivers that are registered dynamically by calling Context.registerReceiver(); they are directly created as IntentFilter objects.)
13 Intent Resolution Done by the Android OS Find the 'Best' component to activated from an Intent Native Android application components are part of the Intent resolution process in exactly the same way as third-party applications. My Little sample app. Country List My Jaoo conference (More than one app can respond to intent)
14 Service An activity without a UI Should be defined in the manifest Can run as a background process Start by either startservice bindservice Remember it runs in the main thread...
15 Service Lifecycle
16 Broadcast Receivers Receive system wide event broadcast Defined in the manifest.xml (as well) No user interface But may start an activity, play sound, show notification, start a service. Examples receives and reacts to broadcast announcements SMS received Timezone changed Battery low User setting changes
17 Content Providers Access through ContentResolver Content is record based Access data accross process boundaries Should be implemented thread save Example of builtin. Contact, Mediastore
18 Security and Permissions Applications... must be signed... run in their own sandbox No application has (default) permission to perform changes that will impact other applications. Declared statically and known at install time. Therefore you can not change after install Example use permissions: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.receive_sms" /> You can declare you own permissions. <permission android:name="com.me.myapp.permission.deadly_activity" android:permissiongroup="android.permission-group.cost_money" android:protectionlevel="dangerous" />
19 Android Tools Virtual Devices Debugging & profiling GUI Build & packaging... a lot of this is available from ADT
20 Android SDK and AVD Manager $ android
21 Build & Packaging dx.class bytecode -> Android bytecode apkbuilder package Android application zipalign align data in apk for more efficient mem mapping
22 GUI hierarchyviewer Inspect View hierarchy, magnifier (pixel level) draw9patch NinePatch images (e.g. for background imgs) layoutopt detect inefficiencies and other problems in layout
23 Android Debug Bridge logcat Install, pull, push jdwp port forwarding shell
24 Debugging Cont'd ddms - Dalvik Debug Monitor Server threads logcat fileviewer traceview trace log viewer
25 sqlite3 Simple but powerful, one-file-based relational database Can be accessed with sqlite3 tool from shell
26 Android with ant Generated ant build file Uses SDK tools to compile, debug and run $ android create project target...
27 Android & Maven No official repository Deploy in your own repo or install locally Uses android.jar and command line tools Modules & libraries works as in any other maven project maven-android-plugin
28 Android Hardware How to interface to special hardware present on most Android devices Various sensors GPS SD card and considerations regarding one piece of hardware present on all mobile devices...
29 Android Hardware Android is build on top of the Linux kernel which is responsible for traditional OS stuff: Hardware drivers WIFI, sensors, telephony, display,... Process management Memory management Different hardware vendors will provide drivers for their specific hardware
30 Android Hardware Writing software to interface with the hardware of an Android device a funny and challenging task. Many applications need only to worry about one single piece of hardware...
31 Android Hardware THE BATTERY YOU SHOULD WORRY TOO!
32 Android Hardware Read the guidelines on developer.android.com Or your application might get uninstalled quickly!
33 android.hardware "Provides support for hardware devices that may not be present on every Android device." Use or SensorManager.getDefaultSensor(int type) SensorManager.getSensorList(int type) to look for sensors of a specific type.
34 Sensors The following sensors are defined in Sensor: TYPE_ACCELEROMETER TYPE_GYROSCOPE TYPE_LIGHT TYPE_MAGNETIC_FIELD TYPE_ORIENTATION TYPE_PRESSURE TYPE_PROXIMITY TYPE_TEMPERATURE The highlighted ones are present on my Nexus One
35 Sensors All sensors are monitored using the same API. The example application shows the sensors found, and let the user select the one to watch. <Example app: Senfo>
36 Location Providers Access to location providers goes through the android.location.locationmanager Choose between the following types: GPS_PROVIDER NETWORK_PROVIDER PASSIVE_PROVIDER
37 Location Providers <Example app: GetMeThere>
38 android.os.environment import android.os.environment; File root = getexternalstoragedirectory (); Using external storage, you may need to listen for ACTION_MEDIA_ broadcast intents: ACTION_MEDIA_UNMOUNTED ACTION_MEDIA_MOUNTED ACTION_MEDIA_* and check the state with getexternalstoragestate()

Hello lovely readers :)
There are many things happen and changed in April while April goes very fast and now is already May. Just wanna share what were happen to me in April. Well, I've my midtest, but during study I just can renovated my blog, because I have no idea what to rather than studying. Why playing is very fun rather than reading books.. Obviously, what happen in April gave me many lesson of live. Such as how to face anything, how you could see which one is your true friend or else, how people need want to be understand while they don't try to understand others. How you could feel when people ignoring you without telling you what is your fault or a guy or woman who you loved to but they don't understand how's to corporate with the feeling.. I believe that some of us or maybe whole human in the words have the same experiences. Second by second, minute by minute, time by time, 24 hours we have, and I think some of us are afraid to face the next day. Well, just think that your going to face your day like your going to open a present, when you get a gift, you must be so curious what was inside the gift, isn't it?
Well maybe this is some of kinda random notes I've, but if you agree you can say that again, but if not hahaa no comment. Still in midtest time but getting rest and I think blogging is an other choice I could choose! So sorry for this randomness notes :)
#MayWish : Could relieve all these pains and get strengths to face anything. Amen!

Right some people still don't know if they should vote Labour or SNP. Growing up all your life in an area that has Labour movement values to its heart it is hard to accept that the party you grew up voting for or the party your parents voted for might just not be the party for you anymore.
Put it this way, I've got Labour members arguing with me on Twitter that we shouldn't have free school meals for kids or free universal healthcare.
Everyone remembers the stigma of those in school that had to stand in a queue and wait for their free meal ticket because they were poor. Free school meals for children is the greatest policy in eradicating the stigma of poverty we've seen in years. What happened to the Labour Party that they became a party that wants working mums to struggle to pay their kids lunch just because they're a pound above the fresh hold? A party that thinks you should pay for ill health.
It's bereft of intelligent thought. Every pound you struggle to pay for these vital services if you had to is a pound out your local shop.
Seriously is this a party you think represents you still? Choose your vote smartly in May.

Sony launch VPL-VW550ES 4K HDR Projector at IFA
It even has the ability for HLG
Home AV News
37Sony has enhanced its Home Cinema line-up with the addition of a new native 4K Home Cinema projector launched at IFA 2016.
The VPL-VW550ES is the third model in Sony's existing portfolio to support 4K HDR, showcasing the brand as the only company to have native consumer 4K projectors available at several price points. As demand for 4K HDR content continues to grow the VPL-VW550ES is future-proofed for the latest 4K standards, as well as compatible with HDR to get the very best out of today's content.
"The VPL-VW550ES is another example of Sony's commitment to bringing the most true to reality images and immersive experience to our customers", said Thomas Issa, Product Manager at Sony Professional Solutions Europe. "4K HDR imagery is the closest representation of the reality our eyes see and home cinema fans will now be able to enjoy the very best picture quality on the new projector in a way they never have before. With 4K HDR, seeing truly is believing."
In addition to the compatibility with HDR used for Ultra HD Blu-ray and Over-The-Top content (OTT) services, Sony's new Home Cinema projector will be compatible with Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) - used for future broadcasting services and user generated content - through a firmware update. By offering more realistic and stunning images for sports, live music and other TV programs, this will make the VPL-VW550ES fully prepared for the future.
Much like its predecessor the VPL-VW520ES, the new model continues to offer viewers access to the latest 4K content services through the latest HDMI standard (HDR capability both for 4K 24p and 4K 60p) and HDCP 2.2 connectivity for both HDMI1 and HDMI2 terminals. A built-in RF 3D transmitter makes it easy to provide further adaptability with a strong wireless signal for wider coverage and 3D synchronisation stability.
The projector will be available from October and the pricing is still to be confirmed. We will have a full hands-on demo with the projector later this week and here is the product page.

The End of the Civil War
Appomattox Court House was a Formality
Great battles and even wars are can be decided by serendipity, a mistake, a misunderstanding or confusion. Did the parting of the clouds in June 1942, thereby exposing the Japanese fleet to American bombers, turn the tide of the war in the Pacific at the Battle of Midway? If the assassination attempt on Hitler had been successful, would the outcome of World War II been different? And in the waning days of the American Civil War, did a bungled telegraph message seal the fate of the Confederacy?
This article is about the last few weeks before the end of the Civil War, and the thrust and parry of Robert E. Lee and Ulysses Grant. Most of the facts are based on the book April 1865:The Month that Saved America (Harper Collins, paperback edition, 2001) by the remarkable historian and writer Jay Winik.
After a 10 month siege, the Confederate city of Petersburg fell on April 1, 1865. The next day Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America ordered the evacuation of Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy. He was urged to abandon Richmond by General Robert E. Lee, commanding general of the Army of Northern Virginia. Thus began the most amazing and pivotal month in American history. It was Lee's intention to march his army some 140 miles to South Carolina to meet up with the army commanded by General Joe Johnston. The combined armies, Lee believed, would enable to south to continue to wage war.
Lee's strategic retreat was a forced march of staggering complexity, every piece of the puzzle overseen by Lee himself. A forced march is a military anachronism. Today an army moves in tanks, armored personnel carriers, trucks, helicopters and planes. But this was the nineteenth century. Lee had to march his 35,000 man army through a 32 mile arc of retreat with 10,000 supply wagons, 200 heavy guns and over 4,000 horses and mules. The plan was to march 21 miles a day, over rough and winding terrain. Lee had a twelve to twenty-four hour lead on the pursuing Grant. The first objective was a small place called Amelia Court House where his troops could rest and most important, eat. The army was very low on rations and the men had to march with their stomachs growling for food.
The Great Disappointment
Lee had arranged for a rail road train full of provisions, including aver 350,000 food rations, to meet them at Amelia Court House. The men were filthy, tired and on the edge of starvation. When they arrived at Amelia Court House, Lee charged ahead and, seeing the awaiting train, ordered its doors flung open. What greeted him was one of the most stunning setbacks in the history of warfare: the train had no food. There was no bread, no meat, no biscuits, no coffee, tea or sugar. Instead it contained crates of ammunition, artillery harnesses and caissons. There was no food whatsoever. We don't know exactly what happened or who was to blame, other than an administrative error. Napoleon once famously said that "an army moves on its stomach." No truer words were ever said. Think, for a moment, how you feel when you've been without food for a while. The emptiness in your stomach dominates everything you do, and there's a lot that you can't do because you crave food. Now imagine going for days without food and marching through the wilderness for 21 miles each day.
The decisive Lee drafted a letter to "the Citizens of Amelia County," pleading for "generosity and charity" and "to supply as far as each is able the wants of the brave soldiers who have battled for your liberty for four years." (April 1865 at p. 128). The response was nothing, not for lack of caring by the locals, but because their food supplies had already been wiped out by passing armies and the vagaries of war.
With Grant's army not far behind, they could not delay and the forced march continued. The inevitable ravages of hunger started to take over. Without caloric intake the body literally starts to feed on itself. Confusion, apathy and even hallucinations began hitting the troops. Those who could form thoughts at all thought about nothing but food.
All during this time Grant has not been satisfied to merely chase Lee's army. He attacked it. Shortly after the brief and disappointing stop over at Amelia Court House, the armies engaged in a major battle at Saylor's Creek. The Army of Northern Virginia suffered over 8,700 casualties. Not only did Lee's troops have to march hungry, they had to fight.
Militarily the southern forces were all but defeated. It was just a matter of time before the overwhelming resources and troop strength of the Northern forces brought the confederacy to its knees. One could argue that the empty train fiasco at Amelia Court House effectively brought the war to, if not a close, certainly a predictable outcome. Had Lee hooked up with General Joe Johnston's army in South Carolina, the outcome of the war may have been different, probably not a confederate defeat but a negotiated peace. But that is from a traditional military analysis. Munitions, supplies, supply lines and troop strength will eventually win the day - in a traditional military sense. But there lurked in the minds of many southern leaders an alternative to simply surrendering or trying to patch together a stronger army. That is what plagued Abraham Lincoln in the waning days of the war.
Can a Modern Nuclear Warship Change the Civil War?
Lincoln's Worst Nightmare - A Guerrilla War
In 21st Century America we think of guerrilla warfare as the new normal. Whether the enemy is the Taliban, Al Qaeda or some other group of organized terrorists, we no longer think of large armies facing each other. The new normal consists of smaller groups that strike with impunity and then blend back into the population or the countryside. A guerrilla force kills its enemy with a thousands cuts. The most significant aspect of guerrilla warfare is this: it works.
Guerrilla means "little war" in Spanish. Guerrilla warfare has existed since ancient times. In modern times Mao Tse-tung summarized the concept best "The enemy advances, we retreat; the enemy camps, we harass; the enemy tires, we attack; the enemy retreats, we pursue." The United States learned the power of guerrilla resistance in Vietnam as did the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.
Jefferson Davis wanted to wage a guerrilla war. After the fall of Richmond he realized that the south was free from defending large cities and its forces could be dispersed across the country to wage a war of attrition. The Confederacy had formalized the possibility of guerrilla warfare early in the conflict with The Partisan Ranger Act of 1862. Rather than concentrating on the occupation of a few cities, the Union would be forced to police and occupy an area as large as France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland and Poland combined. Grant realized the enormity of the threat. "To overcome a truly popular, national resistance in a vast territory without the employment of truly overwhelming force is probably impossible." (April 1865 at p. 153.)
It's sobering to think that in the waning days of the Civil War there were plans afoot to prolong the war, possibly for decades. The United States may have never been "united." The Emancipation Proclamation would have become just a piece of paper. The 13th Amendment to the Constitution, barring slavery, would never have been ratified. We would have become a very different nation. What stood in the way of this tragic scenario was a decision, a decision of one man.
Jay Winik on Lee's Decision
Robert E. Lee in late April 1865
Robert E. Lee's Decision
Robert E. Lee, even though he took up arms against the United States, is a venerated figure to this day. The fighting spirit of his troops is attributed to his leadership. As the commanding general of the confederate forces, Lee knew that he was coming to a decision point. Surrender, die in a final battle of senseless glory, or fight on as a partisan guerrilla army. He knew that if he could get his forces to the Blue Ridge mountains he could hold out "for twenty years." (April 1865 at p. 144).
General Porter Alexander, one of Lee's most trusted advisers, urged Lee to break up the army into partisan guerrilla units. This third alternative had significant military benefits, and Lee knew it. For all of the reasons that Lincoln and Grant feared a guerrilla conflict, Lee knew that it could save the south. His natural inclination was to refuse to surrender, to fight on. But of all his admirable traits Lee had one that stood out: he was a man of honor. Lee was keenly aware of the ongoing slaughter of the "bushwacking" or guerrilla tactics used in Missouri. He was aware that to survive as guerrilla bands, his men would be forced to live off the land as raiding brigands.
Robert E. Lee decided against a guerrilla war. Although he didn't know if he would be imprisoned or even hung as a traitor, Lee decided to surrender to Ulysses Grant. After 620,000 deaths, the war was over.

Great article. Thank you for showing a Brit an insight to General Lee.
Lee is said to have been embittered by the outcome of the war, but he kept whatever bitterness he had to himself. To me, his refusal to sanction a guerrilla war; his having the courage to do what he hated, go to Grant and surrender; and then his counsel of reconciliation between erstwhile Confederate citizens and the US were his finest hour.
Russ, I read of the incident years ago in some CW history book, and of course it was something that stayed in my memory being unexpected and of such meaning as concerns Lee. Perhaps it can be found by searching on the net. Have you heard of Lee's reply to an officer that told him of some disparaging words another officer had said about Lee behind his back. After imparting this gossip to Lee the officer asked him what he thought of the man now. Lee replied he thought he was still an officer and a gentleman. The incredulous officer said how can you feel that way sir after I've told you what he said? Lee again replied, "You asked me what I thought of him, not what he thinks of me."
Have read Mr Winik's book and it is indeed very good. And so is your article here, Russ. What would have happened had those rations been there? And what if somehow Lee had joined up a fairly intact army with Johnstons? The what ifs of history. It probably wouldn't have changed the outcome only extended the suffering. Robert E. Lee was a great American and once he knew all reasonable hope was lost for Southern independence he set his heart and mind to restoration of the Country. Russ, have you heard the story about how Lee stood at the front of a church with a black couple that had been shunned by the congregation right after the war? That was the kind of man he was.
I recently purchased a book dated 1889 about Robert E Lee, hope to read it soon, I find the man to be fascinating and it seems he was loved by all around him. He was truly a great leader, Lee gave my 3rd great grandfather a printed picture with all his commanders, it was folded in a family bible and only found by my mother about 10 years ago. The same copy can be purchased today through Amazon but the ones you can purchase do not have the red stamp the one my family has...........great hub.
Thanks for an informative article. Having watched the PBS Civil War documentary, images of that conflict run through my mind as I read your story. I don't recall mention of the train full of munitions but no food--what a historic blunder.
A guerrilla war would have changed history and I'm glad it did not happen. Quantrill's Raiders provide a sample of the bitterness that would have been widespread acroos the US intead of localized in Missouri. Enjoy your work!
I too am both fascinated and repulsed by this sad time in our country's history. but still find the interest to publish both fiction and non-fiction tales about the conflict. And yes, my ancestors played a significant role in the war.
Interesting coverage of the final days of the miserable conflict. My great-great-grandfather served on Lee's honor guard during the surrender at Appomattox. He brought back a limb cut from a tree at the courthouse and used as a cane on the long march home. We still have it today as a reminder of those sad times.
I have read so much about this war; the final days I found fascinating, and you covered them well here. Nice job, Russ!

Osama Bin Laden
6:00 pm 31 December 2011
This book was written by Michael Scheuer, who was the first head of the CIA's Osama bin Laden unit. The author was a counterterrorist analyst for the CIA.We hear many things in the news about Osama bin Laden. Much of it seems contradictory, and much of it does not seem accurate. Why is this? The author decided to evaluate OBL from his own words -- speeches, publications, and his own writings first and foremost. In the past, military adversaries studied each other and tried to understand why and how they planned and behaved as they did. A good example of this would be the study that Patton made of Rommel during WWII that allowed Patton to defeat the German Panzer battalion in North Africa.Schuer's premise is that we have based our understanding of OBL on media and political rhetoric and not on what the man himself said. As a result of this, we have totally misunderstood and misrepresented what OBL wanted to do. Patton was able to defeat Rommel because he studied the man himself. If Patton were to approach Rommel the way the US is approaching OBL, Patton would never have won because he would have been fighting an adversary who actually did not exist.Scheuer does a masterful job of showing how both the Bush and the Obama administration foreign policy has set the US military up for defeat, not because they are outclassed by a superior adversary, but because they are not fighting the real adversary. I recommend this book highly. I am looking now for comments and updates from the author on OBL since his death in May 2011.

The layer of dead grass and debris that frequently builds up under the surface of a lawn is called thatch; a thick layer of thatch deprives the grass of air, water and nutrients that it needs to stay green and grow vigorously. Lawns are aerated to control the buildup of thatch and to reduce the compaction of the underlying soil that often occurs when the lawn is heavily used.
Aeration Needs
A lawn should usually be aerated twice a year if it is growing in clay soil. It should be aerated if thatch is more than ½ inch deep, if it is heavily used or if pools of water form after it rains or the lawn is irrigated. If the lawn turns brown after a stretch of hot weather, it may also need to be aerated. Core aeration is best for these needs; spike aeration is less effective.
Core Aerator
A core aerator, the most often recommended method of aeration, uses hollow tines to remove cores of soil from the soil. These cores are usually 5/8 inch wide. They're about 4 to 6 inches from one another and penetrate 2 to 3 inches deep.
The aerator deposits these slender columns from the soil beneath the grass and deposits them on top. For best results, the cores should be extracted in one direction then again at a right angle. Each square foot of turf should have at least 12 holes in it.
Spike Aerator
A spike aerator punches holes in soil by dragging a rolling bar of spikes across the grass. Spike aerators are usually cheaper to own or rent than hollow-tine aerators, but they tend to increase soil compaction, not reduce it, especially in heavy, clay soils.The soil becomes more compact on both sides of the spikes and underneath them. This makes it more difficult for water and nutrients to reach the plant roots.
Destroying Cores
The aerator plugs or cores deposited on top of the soil will eventually dissolve back into the soil when it rains or the lawn is irrigated. If the plugs are objectionable, drag a 5-foot by 5-foot piece of carpet across them to break them up.
Methods Compared
Dr. Robert Carrow, turf expert at the University of Georgia, studied the effectiveness of core and spike aerators. He concluded that core aeration resulted in a 25 percent increase of water penetration and deep rooting. Aerating with spikes did not affect grass health.

The remains of a missing Vietnam Airman have been identified and will be returned to his
family for a full military honors burial. The Department of Defense POW/MIA Personnel
Office (DPMO) made the announcement today.
On June 21, 1967 Air Force Captain Darrell J. Spinier of Browns Valley, Minn. was piloting his
A-1E Skyraider, attacking targets along the Xekong River in Laos.
Villagers said they heard an explosion just before his aircraft crashed. Another A-1E was in the
vicinity and for two hours searched for his fellow pilot, but never saw a sign of Spinier.
A team of US and Laos People's Democratic Republic, which was led by the Joint POW/MIA
Accounting Command (JPAC), in 1993 interviewed villages who had seen the crash. Those
questioned said that Capt. Spinier's body was visible on the riverbank and thought that the
body had probably been washed away when the rainy season started.
The survey team searched the area and found wreckage that appeared to be from Spinier's
aircraft, but could not find any remains.
The U.S. government in 1995 declared after review of Spinier's case that his remains were
unrecoverable. This was based on witness statements and all presented evidence.
In 1998 and again in 2003 search teams viewed the area and came to the same conclusion, that
Capt. Spinier's remains had indeed been washed away by the river and could not be located.
But JPAC did a complete excavation of the site in 2001. They discovered aircraft wreckage,
human remains, crew-related equipment and some personal effects.
Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command scientists used dental x-rays and other forensic identification
tools along with circumstantial evidence to identify the remains as belonging to Spinier.
With the identify confirmed, there are now 1,689 service members still missing and unacounted
for from the Vietnam War.
Once again I say our country must do everything possible to have a full and complete accounting
and the return of all remains of those MIA's from all wars.
The House of Representatives again has a bill H.Res.111 Establishing a Select Committee
on POW and MIA Affairs. This bill with 72 cosponsors was referred to the House Committee
on Rules on February 28, 2011, with no further action taken as of today.
Please contact your Congressman or Congresswoman, ask them to please cosponsor H.Res.111
and push for a vote to the full House floor; and to demand that this bill be passed immediately.
These POW/MIA's should no longer be just a number, we must repatriate them, bring them
home for proper burial and bring about closure for their families.
JPAC is working hard to find them, now we must not only ask; but demand that the foreign
countries involved must do everything possible to assist in finding and returning our missing.
