I've been trying to add http://android.stackexchange.com/feeds to my RSS feeds in the News application on my HTC Desire Z. However it doesn't "find" any results. I just want to add this URL as it is instead of searching for it. Isn't this possible?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Android Enthusiasts Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for enthusiasts and power users of the Android operating system. It's 100% free, no registration required.
I would recommend another way of fetching RSS feeds to your cell phone:
You may have already done all this but I will detail the steps I just took to add this to my HTC Evo. It worked so maybe there is something different I'm doing. First off I have never used the News app before.
Then to see if maybe you had typed the URL incorrectly on your device, I entered almost the exact same URL with one letter off and I got a warning that the feed was incorrect. So since you didn't mention this I'm guessing thats not your issue.
If none of this helped - can you add any other feeds or its just the android.stackexchange feed that isn't working?

Democratic legislators, school officials and community members in Maryland are searching for a solution for a group of ambitious Montgomery County high school students who are unexpected victims of the Maryland Dream Act.
Under the law, which took effect Jan. 1, nearly 80 Montgomery County high school students who have been getting a jump start on their higher education by taking courses at Montgomery College now will need to prove their U.S. citizenship to pay the in-county tuition rate.
The Maryland Dream Act allows students who are not citizens to pay in-state tuition rates for Maryland universities. They must have graduated from Maryland public high schools, and their families must have filed income tax returns in Maryland for three years.
Some say not including current high school students in the law was an oversight, and the law should be changed accordingly, but opponents of the law say adding these students would change the original intent of the law and expand its reach even further.
Immigrant-rights group CASA of Maryland, supporters of the law, believes it was an unintended consequence, and the group is committed to finding a solution, said Kim Propeack, the group's political director.
"We are hoping that we can fix the problem that impacts a small but meaningful population of the county," Propeack said.
The Montgomery high school students were not previously required to provide full documentation under Montgomery College's tuition policy to receive in-county tuition rate, said Elizabeth Homan, college spokeswoman.
The law, passed by the General Assembly in 2011 and upheld by voters in a November referendum, now sets the tuition rate for undocumented students who qualify, she said.
Montgomery College has sent letters to the students it knows will need to update their documentation under the law. All community colleges statewide are grappling with how to deal with the issue, said Jody Kallis, legislative liaison of the Maryland Association of Community Colleges. The colleges might or might not have been requiring full documentation to provide their high school students with the in-county rate, Kallis said.
If the Montgomery College students do not provide updated information about their citizenship and visa status, their tuition will increase from the in-county rate of $112 per credit hour to the out-of-state rate of $314 per credit hour, not including fees.
Del. Anne R. Kaiser (D-Dist. 14) of Burtonsville said she is not sure if dually enrolled students were discussed during the drafting of the law in 2011.
Regardless, she said Tuesday, she will introduce legislation during this year's General Assembly session to include the "dual enrollees" in the law.
Kaiser said she realizes asking for a change to the law now might not be a popular decision.
It took supporters five years to bring legislators and the public to enact the law, Propeack said.
"I definitely have a concern there," Kaiser said. "But I think the citizens of Maryland could not have given a much stronger yes on this proposal."
In November, 58.9 percent of voters supported the law.
Kaiser said she thinks many of her legislative opponents might be more willing to support the law now that they have seen their jurisdictions' support.
In 2011, 19 of the 46 votes in the Maryland Senate and 65 of the 139 votes in the House of Delegates were against the law.
Opponents have argued the Dream Act will cost the state millions, and spaces in community colleges would be taken from legal Maryland residents to accommodate the undocumented students.
Advocates for the law sold the bill on the basis that the benefit of subsidized tuition would apply only to those who met requirements, such as the graduation requirement, Del. Steven Schuh (R-Dist. 31) of Gibson Island said.
"Now what we are inherently seeing is an expansion of the law to the benefit of an even larger pool of illegal immigrants," Schuh said.
Del. Patrick L. McDonough (R-Dist. 7) of Middle River said he would not be changing his vote.
"It would broaden something that is unpopular to start," McDonough said.
Not all supporters of the law believe legislation is the best solution.
Del. Ana Sol Gutierrez (D-Dist. 18) of Chevy Chase said Monday she was hoping Kaiser would not introduce legislation.
"We had to do a lot of work this year and last year when we were introducing it (to get it passed)," Gutierrez said. "Tinkering with the Dream Act is unnecessary at this time. ... I imagine that the tea party Republicans would still want to block it."
Gutierrez said this is a bigger issue. She thinks the college should not be charging any high-school students for classes in their dual-enrollment programs. She said other counties do not charge its students.
She said Montgomery College could give students a waiver for their tuition.
Kallis said community colleges have other options if the law is not changed.
The colleges could decide to use institutional aid to pay the difference in tuition rates for the high-school students or garner private donations, Kallis said.
Kallis said she is not sure if legislation is the best route.
"The law was so controversial, anyway, it would be hard to go back at it again," she said.
Although the issue affects a small student population, it is important to address, Montgomery County Board of education member Rebecca Smondrowski said.
"My concern is we have hard working, dedicated, phenomenal kids out there, and it would be a real tragedy to see their academic and personal success affected by a small oversight or technicality," said Smondrowski (Dist. 2) of Gaithersburg.
The law, which was meant to make colleges' tuition policies more liberal, has, in turn, made Montgomery College more conservative.
Before this year, the college worked to defend its controversial tuition policy, which did not require recent or current Montgomery County Public Schools students to provide full documentation to pay in-county rate.
McDonough and others sued the college in 2011 because of the policy.
The college supported the Dream Act knowing that not all students would qualify, Homan said.
The college "believe(s) in access to higher education," she said.
Realizing some of the 76 students who did not provide the college with full documentation before this year will not be able to provide it now, the college is "happy to work with its partners in MCPS and our friends at the state legislature," to look for a solution, Homan said.
At Gaithersburg High School, about 15 students of the 126 students who take Montgomery College courses through a program called College Institute had not provided full documentation to Montgomery College, said Susan Byrne, who runs the program at the school.
Byrne said some of those students might be able to provide the documents, and some might not.
"I think things will really hit the students when they receive their bills," Byrne said. "When they get a bill for $1,200, that is when we will get more response."
Gaithersburg High School Principal Christine Handy-Collins said she is disappointed and hopes something can be worked out for the students.
"We have great kids who have goals and dreams, and they want to go to college and take advantage of the opportunity to go to higher education while they are in high school," Handy-Collins said. "We want all of our students to have access to all of our programs."

The Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers has just issued a major policy paper calling for a shift in public policy toward sex offending. The balance has tipped too far toward criminal justice punishments, causing unintended consequences such as families who fear coming forward to report sexual abuse, the paper emphasizes.
Experts agree that a criminal justice response alone cannot prevent sexual abuse or keep communities safe. Yet, tougher sentencing and increased monitoring of sex offenders are fully funded in many states, while victim services and prevention programs are woefully underfunded.
Key recommendations of the 54-page policy statement include:
- Design and implement evidence-informed policy.
- Develop successful community policies that expand the notion of what constitutes abuser accountability; encourage community responsibility and healing; and provide safety, restitution, healing, and avenues for input for victims.
- Integrate what is known about perpetration into prevention programs, victim services, and public education.
The introductory quote from Eleanor Roosevelt makes me optimistic that this may signal a major shift for ATSA, which has significant legislative influence around the United States, in the direction of primary prevention.
When will our consciences grow so tender that we will
act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?
act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?

|Can anybody post?
|Yes. All register users may post. Not registered? Sign up here for free.
|Why isn't it letting me to put a negative on a sponsor?
|The RacingWest Sponsor Soundoff uses a simple ratio system of two positives to one negative. Only users that have posted at least two positives may post a negative.
|How come my comments and rating on a sponsor was removed?
|RacingWest reserves the right to remove frivolous or inappropriate posts.
|How come my account was disabled? How can I get it re-enabled
|RacingWest users that have comments removed several times for violations will have their accounts disabled. It is not worth our time to remove it or another person's time to have to read it. A user being only negative should put that energy into something more positive. If you still feel your account should be re-enabled please let us know.
|Why do you have this Sponsor Soundoff page anyway?
|RacingWest has decided to give the racing community a chance to praise sponsors that are helping the sport. It is not the intent to have any sponsor receive a negative or neutral, but we understand that the only way to be honest is to allow all opinions. It is our hope that we never see a negative. We do however hope that there is a strong show of support for the sponsors that have spoke with their dollars in support of racing in the west.

Huangshan (Yellow Mountain) / Tunxi
On an upcoming trip to Shanghai, we're pondering taking some time to go to Huangshan (Yellow Mountain). Beyond what the Lonely Planet mentions (e.g., a place called Huīzhōu Měishí ), any places we should check out for the local cuisine in the nearby region?
Our verbal language skills are nil, but we're both skilled at pointing to whatever other people are eating, and I plan to research dishes so that I can recognize their characters on a menu.
Not much on this region on the boards. One thread from 2008:
==== Huangshan & Surrounding Areas ====
Tangkou: we had dinner at our hotel, the Pine Tree Lodge, which was advertised as "local cuisine." The English translations weren't especially useful, but the server guided us to two great dishes when I showed her the Chinese characters for mandarin stink fish and bamboo. The pork belly with bamboo shoots had little dice of pork belly, half fat half meat, and the most delicious and fresh bamboo I'd ever eaten. Mandarin stink fish was great too-- I loved how the preserving process separated the flesh from the bones. Translating the menu now, I'm seeing lots of Hui home style dishes available. English speaking and arrangement abilities of the staff were very helpful, but the accommodations were meager.
Huangshan summit: We came here for great views not great food and that's what we got. Bei Hai had a decent buffet breakfast and Xi Hai had an overpriced and okay lunch in their fancy dining room. Shilin had a pork dish so poorly prepared it could win awards.
Tunxi : Laojie Diyilou in Tunxi was awesome! It's the oldest restaurant in Tunxi and there's no menu. Instead, the downstairs area has sample dishes tagged with corresponding ID numbers. You write the IDs you want on small clipboards, along with your table number, and hand it to servers. Made to order dishes get delivered to your table and you can get more clipboards as the meal progresses. Nothing is in English, but you can tell what a lot of things are just by looking or by translating them with Pleco. Everything was deftly prepared. Fried dishes were crisp and greaseless, vegetable dishes were clean and fresh. The fēi bing 飞饼 were delicious-- the dough seemed similar to what's used for green onion pancakes, only here it's cooked in a single layer, topped with minimal toppings, cut into pieces, and served in a basket. The refreshing and crunchy cold mushrooms were on everyone's table and contained a few triangular little chilies--- a must have. Pressed shredded tofu, fried disks filled with cold cream, and some kind of sweet thing that looked like an American pancake were also excellent. Our total bill, with drinks, was 70 yuan and there was food leftover. I'd kill for a place like this back home.
A helpful post with other advice for the area: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/9022...
I posted here on a restaurant in Tunxi: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/4883.... I haven't been back since then, but that restaurant was really, really good.
re: Michael Rodriguez
Huh. Looking at descriptions of the place I went to in Tunxi, and various web (and guidebook) descriptions of Meishi Renjia, I think they are the same place. Did you place you go to have sample dishes as a basis for what you order strung along a long counter in the kitchen as shown in my photos?
On the other hand, according to the Google translated version of the following webpage, the place you went to, Meishi Renjia 美食人家 , is next door and "the same enterprise" as Laojie Diyilou.

This escalated quickly.
This escalated quickly.
Let me ask this Einstein, did you ever think that maybe someone on this forum had a loved taken from them in that manner and just wants to come here and escape from the real world into a Dolphin fan world???? And why would you even cast aspersions on other people like Johnson and the other idiot playing in Chicago? Yes, they are idiots but that is a classless term to put on another person. As of this date, they have never murdered someone. Bet you would not say it to their face, after all this is the Internet, a place for keyboard cowards like yourself. Flame away
FWIW I have zero problems joking about a dude that killed the mother of his child and then couldnt deal with jail so he offed himself. If there were ever a person that was meant to be the butt of jokes in his death, its him.
When I was 17 years old I found out that the man I call my Father wasn't my biological father. My Grandfather, who at the time was in his 60's and in a drunken fit, called and told me the truth. My parents hid it from me for 17 years.
17 years.
Several months later, my Grandfather was drunk again. He gets into an argument with his girlfriend. He shoots and kills his girlfriend.
Then he turns the gun on himself. One of the ugliest murder/suicides in the history of the county. It was all over the news. News cameras and media were outside of our home for days.
My grandfather was a coward piece of ****. He took the coward's way out and I'll never forgive him for that. **** him, and **** people who stick guns to their heads and end it because they can't deal with their little lives being a bit difficult.
Life being difficult makes me a better man. I'll accept it and I'll seek emotional shelter in personal success.
And that's why people like Chad Johnson don't get into my neighborhood.

Bedtime Stars
Any ideas for making this more exciting or should I admit defeat and take them down?
We do have some favorite stories that make bedtime a little less painful:
Llama Llama Red Pajama is about a little llama who creates all sorts of llama drama at bedtime and needs reminding that even when he can't see Mama Llama, she's always near.
Sometimes I Like to Curl Up in a Ball tells the story of a little wombat who likes to do all sorts of things like jump and play. His very favorite thing to do though is curl up with his mama at the end of the day.
The Going-To-Bed Book has her trademark rhymes and illustrations. All the animals take baths, brush their teeth, and put on their pajamas while getting ready for bed. This was one of Drew's favorites for so long that I still have it memorized.
Goodnight Moon . I'm pretty sure you might have heard of it. I have to be honest and say that when I first read this book I didn't like it. I didn't have it as a kid, but we received a copy when I was pregnant with Drew. I found the illustrations a little creepy and the text, well, lacking. (Yes, I know it's for babies, but c'mon. "Goodnight mush"?) Then my sweet baby girl fell in love with it, along with Big Red Barn, and I can't help but love a book that makes her happy and reminds me of her.
Finally, for our construction lover Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site is a sweet story about all the construction vehicles going to sleep for the night.

My kids both adored "The Going to Bed Book". I totally understand where you are coming from though. My now 6 year old reads all the many Sandra Boynton board books we still have to me and still loves them!ReplyDelete
The Going to Bed Book and Goodnight Moon are two of our all time favorites!ReplyDelete
As far as making bedtime less painful...I can't really help there. We have the same routine every night. Daddy reads Aiden a handful of books by lamplight. Then, I join in, and we listen to Daddy read a story from the Bible. We pray. Then, the lamp goes off and we sing songs. We tuck Aiden into bed and leave. He usually falls right asleep. If not, he just talks to himself for a while.
Have you seen A Mom With A Lesson Plan's bedtime post? http://amomwithalessonplan.com/2012/03/14/mommy-fun-fact-15-a-better-bedtime/
Hi Lorie,ReplyDelete
We love some of these same books too, especially the Llama, Llama Red Pajama book! In fact, we love this whole series. Thanks for sharing.
Bedtime is painful around here and usually ends with lots of crying :( I'm not sure what we are doing wrong. I'm just hoping its a phase. Anyway, I love this idea! My oldest loves flashlights and I think he would really like this game. He is also obsessed with Zamboni's but only makes me watch the real ones at the ice rink :o) -Sarah @ Repeat Crafter MeReplyDelete
I love your idea. Don't give up on it! The race idea is very cool -- reminds me a little of the game Pictureka! After a while, maybe have your kids choose what goes on the stars and design them. Also, you could do categories -- find all the foods, animals, letter, numbers, etc.ReplyDelete
I think the possibilities are endless.
I read another site where a mom used the same idea for bathtime, but she bought items from dollar world and actually taped these items on the wall and ceiling. Adding a look of texture? Might help but I wouldn't give up ;)ReplyDelete
I think it's a cute idea! What if you played the letter game and then left each kid with a flashlight and a book to read "under the covers" and challenged them to find the letters from the ceiling in their book?ReplyDelete
Or... turn it into a spelling game, like boggle, where they have to connect the letters to create a word R-E-D...or better yet, the letters from their name?
Or..you could have them point to a letter with the flashlights, and then use the flashlight to draw the letter on the ceiling as big as they can. Just a few ideas to consider...??
Actually, I thought of one more to try. What about shining it on a letter and then challenging your kids to come up with as many words that start with that sound as they can?ReplyDelete
OR..."Flash your light on the letter that makes the ** sound" (you could do beginning or ending sounds)...Your oldest could connect the sound of the letter to the picure.
OR...I Spy a picture/letter that is curvy and looks like a snake (S)...Now you've got me thinking that I should go try this out! :)
I actually LOVE this idea! I'm going to try it with my son to see what his reaction is and I'll let you know. I like the idea from Ras who said to affix Dollar Store items to the ceiling. Maybe you ask to find an object that starts with the Letter "X" and have them find the object. My son loves letters so I'm anxious to do this. Awesome idea and thanks for sharing!! BrookeReplyDelete
You guys have such great ideas I'm encouraged to try this again!ReplyDelete
lol about watching an imaginary Zamboni! I would leave it up for a while and see if they get interested? Although, I got (what I thought was) a cool shadow book for the kids, and they don't seem to care for it much...ReplyDelete
Thanks for linking up to Learning Laboratory at Mama Smiles =)
Love your bedtime book list. Going to have to look for some of those. :)ReplyDelete

Komodo National Park
Komodo National Park
These volcanic islands are inhabited by a population of around 5,700 giant lizards, whose appearance and aggressive behaviour have led to them being called 'Komodo dragons'. They exist nowhere else in the world and are of great interest to scientists studying the theory of evolution. The rugged hillsides of dry savannah and pockets of thorny green vegetation contrast starkly with the brilliant white sandy beaches and the blue waters surging over coral.
Parc national de Komodo
Ces îles volcaniques sont habitées par une population d'environ 5 700 lézards géants, dont l'apparence et le comportement agressif les ont fait surnommer les « dragons de Komodo ». On ne les trouve nulle part ailleurs et ils présentent un grand intérêt scientifique pour l'étude de l'évolution. Les collines rocailleuses couvertes d'une savane sèche parsemée d'épineux font un extraordinaire contraste avec les plages de sable à l'éclatante blancheur et les vagues bleues se brisant sur les coraux.

Outstanding Universal Value
Brief synthesis
Komodo National Park, located in the center of the Indonesian archipelago, between the islands of Sumbawa and Flores, is composed of three major islands (Rinca, Komodo, and Padar) and numerous smaller ones, all of them of volcanic origin. Located at the juncture of two continental plates, this national park constitutes the "shatter belt" within the Wallacea Biogeographical Region, between the Australian and Sunda ecosystems. The property is identified as a global conservation priority area, comprising unparalleled terrestrial and marine ecosystems and covers a total area of 219,322 ha. The dry climate has triggered specific evolutionary adaptation within the terrestrial flora that range from open grass-woodland savanna to tropical deciduous (monsoon) forest and quasi cloud forest. The rugged hillsides and dry vegetation highly contrast with the sandy beaches and the blue coral-rich waters.
The most remarkable inhabitant of Komodo National Park is the Komodo Lizard, Varanus komodoensis. These giant lizards, existing no-where else in the world, are of great scientific interest, especially for their evolutionary implications. Most commonly known as 'Komodo Dragons', due to its appearance and aggressive behavior, the Komodo Lizard, is the largest living species of lizard, growing to an average length of 2 to 3 meters. The species is the last representative of a relic population of large lizards that once lived across Indonesia and Australia. As well as being home to the Komodo dragon, the Park provides a refuge for many other notable terrestrial species such as the orange-footed scrub fowl, an endemic rat, and the Timor deer. The rich coral reefs of Komodo host a great diversity of species, and the strong currents of the sea attract the presence of sea turtles, whales, dolphins and dugongs.
Criterion (vii): Komodo National Park is a landscape of contrasts between starkly rugged hillsides of dry savanna, pockets of thorny green vegetation, brilliant white sandy beaches and blue waters surging over coral, unquestionably one of the most dramatic landscapes in all of Indonesia. Demonstrating exceptional natural beauty that is all the more remarkable as a counterpoint to the dominant lushness of vegetation which characterizes vast areas of forested Indonesia, and with which most of the world associates the archipelago. An irregular coastline characterized by bays, beaches and inlets separated by headlands, often with sheer cliffs falling vertically into the surrounding seas which are reported to be among the most productive in the world adds to the stunning natural beauty of landscapes dominated by contrasting vegetation types, providing a patchwork of colours.
Criterion (x): Komodo National Park contains the majority of the world's areas in which wild populations of the Komodo dragon lizard still exist. The largest and heaviest of the world's lizards, the species is widely known for its impressive size and fearsome appearance, its ability to effectively prey on large animals, and a tolerance of extremely harsh condition. The population, estimated at around 5,700 individuals is distributed across the islands of Komodo, Rinca, Gili Motong and some coastal regions of western and northern Flores.
Other fauna recorded in the park are characteristic of the Wallacean zoogeographic region with seven species of terrestrial mammal, including an endemic rat (Rattus rintjanus) and the crab-eating macaque (Macaca fascicularis) and 72 species of birds, such as the lesser sulphur-crested cockatoo (Cacatua sulphurea), the orange-footed scrub fowl (Megapodius reinwardt), and noisy friarbird (Philemon buceroides). The coral reefs fringing the coast of Komodo are diverse and luxuriant due to the clear water, intense sunlight and rapid exchange of nutrient-rich water from deeper areas of the archipelago. The marine fauna and flora are generally the same as that found throughout the Indo Pacific area, though species richness is very high, notable marine mammals include blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) and sperm whale (Physeter catodon) as well as 10 species of dolphin, dugong (Dugong dugon) and five species of sea turtles.
Encompassing the rugged topography that reflects the position of the park within the active volcanic "shatter belt" between Australia and the Sunda shelf, the boundaries of the Komodo National Park encircle the main park features, including the outstanding scenery and the unique species it hosts; komodo monitor, birds, marine mammals, coral reef-species, and others. The boundaries are considered adequate to secure the habitat and the main ecological processes to preserve them. The extensive marine buffer zone surrounding the park is key to maintaining the integrity and intactness of the property and the number of exceptional species that it hosts.
Illegal fishing and poaching remain the main threats to the values of the property and its overall integrity. There is an extensive marine buffer zone to the park, in which management authority staff has authority to regulate the type of fishing permitted and to some extent the presence of fishermen from outside the area. This buffer zone, which assists in controlling poaching of the terrestrial species that provide the prey species for the komodo lizard, will become significant in the overall long-term protection of the property.
Protection and management requirements
Komodo National Park is managed by the central government of Indonesia through the Directorate General of Forest Protection and Natural Conservation of the Ministry of Forestry. The history of protection afforded the site goes back to 1938 while official protection began when Ministerial Decree declared the area as a 72,000 ha National Park in March 1980. This area was subsequently extended to 219,322 ha in 1984 to include an expanded marine area and the section of mainland Flores. Comprised of Komodo Game Reserve (33,987 ha), Rinca Island Nature Reserve (19,625 ha), Padar Island Nature Reserve (1,533 ha), Mbeliling and Nggorang Protection Forest (31,000 ha), Wae Wuul and Mburak Game Reserve (3,000 ha) and surrounding marine areas (130,177 ha) the Komodo Biosphere Reserve was accepted under the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme in January 1977. In 1990 a national law, elevating the legislative mandate for conservation to the parliamentary and presidential level significantly empowered the legal basis for protection and management.
In order to ensure the effective management and protection of the park and its exceptional landscapes and biota, the park is governed through the 2000-2025 Management Plan and a 2010-2014 Strategic Plan, which will require revision and updating. These plans are important for ensuring the effective zoning system of the park and guaranteeing the sustainability of the ecosystems of the property. The management authority is known for designing specific plans to guide management decisions which will require updating in line with changes to priorities and threats, in particular expected increases in visitor numbers and impacts from tourism.
The Park receives strong support and resources from the central government of Indonesia. As a tourism location known worldwide, the Indonesian Government has a specific program for ecotourism management to promote the park at the international level and to ensure the sustainability of tourism activities. Additionally, in order to address illegal fishing and poaching, regular patrolling of the marine and terrestrial areas is carried out for law enforcement and a number of the problems and impacts associated with these activities have decreased. Community awareness and empowerment programs are being implemented to engage the local villagers regards to the sustainable use of natural resources and park conservation. Research and study of the unique biological features of the park is also being promoted and supported by the management authority.
Increasing levels of tourism and matters related specifically to the komodo lizard are the major management issues that have been focused on to date. A broadening of the management focus to address issues within the marine area of the park along with other terrestrial species is required to ensure the long-term effective conservation of the property. A focus on the issue of depletion of Komodo monitor prey species stocks has resulted in some success and the same efforts need to be focused on the issues of damaging fishing practices and impacts on other unique species contained within the property.
Long Description
The generally steep and rugged topography reflects the position of the national park within the active volcanic 'shatter belt' between Australia and the Sunda shelf. Komodo, the largest island, has a topography dominated by a range of rounded hills oriented along a north-south axis at an elevation of 500-600 m. Relief is steepest towards the north-east, notably the peak of Gunung Toda Klea which is precipitous and crowned by deep, rocky and dry gullies.
The coastline is irregular and characterized by numerous bays, beaches and inlets separated by headlands, often with sheer cliffs falling vertically into the sea. To the east, Padar is a small, narrow island the topography of which rises steeply from the surrounding plains to between 200 m and 300 m. Further east, the second largest island in the park, Rinca, is separated from Flores by a narrow strait a few kilometres wide. As with Komodo and Padar, the coastline is generally rugged and rocky although sandy beaches are found in sheltered bays. The mainland components of the park lie in the rugged coastal areas of western Flores, where surface fresh water is more abundant than on the islands of Komodo, Rinca and Padar. The seas around the islands are reported to be among the most productive in the world due to upwelling and a high degree of oxygenation resulting from strong tidal currents which flow through the Sape Straits. Fringing and patch coral reefs are extensive and best developed in the west- and north-facing areas, the most intact being on the north-east coast of Komodo and the south-west coast of Rinca and Padar.
The predominant vegetation type is open grass-woodland savannah, mainly of anthropogenic origin, which covers some 70% of the park. The dominant savannah tree is lontar palm, which occurs individually or in scattered stands. Tropical deciduous (monsoon) forest occurs along the bases of hills and on valley bottoms. The forest is notable, lacking the predominance of Australian derived tree flora found further to the east on Timor. A quasi cloud forest occurs above 500m on pinnacles and ridges. Although covering only small areas on Komodo Island, it harbours a relict flora of many endemic species. Floristically, it is characterized by moss-covered rocks, rattan, bamboo groves and many tree species generally absent at lower elevations. Coastal vegetation includes mangrove forest, which occurs in sheltered bays on Komodo, Padar and Rinca.
The park is best known for the Komodo monitor, the world's largest living lizard. The population is distributed across the islands of Komodo, Rinca and Gili Motong, and in certain coastal regions of western and northern Flores. Favoured habitat is tropical deciduous forest and, to a lesser extent, open savannah. The mammalian fauna is characteristic of the Wallacean zoogeographical zone, with seven terrestrial species recorded including the endemic rat. Other mammals include primates such as crab-eating macaque. Introduced species, such as rusa deer and wild boar, as well as feral domestic animals including horses and water buffalo, form important prey species for the Komodo monitor. Some 72 species of bird have been recorded, including yellow-crested cockatoo, noisy friar bird and common scrubhen.
Upwelling of nutrient-rich water from deeper areas of the archipelago is responsible for the rich reef ecosystem of which only isolated patches remain due to anthropogenic disturbance. In areas of strong currents, the reef substrate consists of an avalanche of coral fragments, with only encrusting or low branching species. Reefs off the north-east of Komodo have high species diversity. The reefs off Gili Lawa Laut are variable. Notable marine mammals include blue whale and sperm whale, which are occasionally observed, as well as 10 species of dolphin and dugong. Marine reptiles include five species of turtle.
It is thought that the islands have long been settled due to their strategic importance and the existence of sheltered anchorages and supplies of fresh water on Komodo and Rinca. The evidence of early settlement is further supported by the recent discovery of Neolithic graves, artefacts and megaliths on Komodo Island.Source: UNESCO/CLT/WHC
Historical Description
The islands of Komodo, Padar, Rinca and Gili Motong and the surrounding waters were declared a 75,OOOha national park on 6 March 1980 (MOF, 1990). This was extended to 219,322ha in 1984 under Ministerial Decree 46/kpts/VI-Sek/1984 to include an expanded marine area and a section of mainland Flores. The island of Padar and part of Rinca were first protected in 1938 when they were established as nature reserves (Auffenburg, 1981) and extended in 1965 when Komodo Island was gazetted under Ministerial Decree No. 66. Komodo was accepted as a biosphere reserve under the Unesco Man and Biosphere Programme in January 1977.Source: Advisory Body Evaluation

I was very disappointed that I had to withdraw from the Rogers Cup.
I was looking forward to play against Kim; she is one of the top players on the tour and I always get inspired and motivated when playing those matches. It was an awful feeling when I realised that I had to withdraw.
The recovery is going well. I have physio and stretching every day and I started with light practice. I think in a few days I'll be match fit again.
Thank you all for your support and for your very kind emails.
Bye for now, see you soon,

Reyes' Journey, Part 22
Reyes headed through Route 101, meeting Pokemon he never saw before, and eventually, he ended up in Oldale Town. a crazed Pokemaniac was blocking the path to Route 102, and he said he didn't see agirl walk by, so Reyes headed up north to Route 103 was. Unfortunately, some Wingulls about took out Torchic before Reyes could even find May!
Reyes eventually did find May, cataloging Pokemon living in Route 103, and she accepted Reyes' battle challenge. Her Mudkip was a challenge, but Torchic ended up with the win! And Torchic even learned Focus Energy!
May took Reyes back to Littleroot so the Professor could see Reyes' potential. When Birch found out he was a Kanto Hall of Fame member, he gave Reyes the Hoenn upgrade to the Pokedex, and May gave him some PokeBalls so he could catch some of the new Hoenn Pokemon in the region. After finding about the Hoenn League, Reyes headed back to Oldale to register, and then headed to Route 102 to his first Hoenn Gym. Along the way, Reyes caught a new Pokemon- Poochyena! Reyes managed through Route 102, and now, Reyes is in Petalburg City, where a Normal type Gym awaits him...

Use an integer & store the prices as the lowest common unit. So, for dollars and cents you'd store it in cents. EG: $1.00 would be stored as 100.
In my experience it's standard practice.
Certainly, use integer
You will have to decide how many decimal places you are assuming and be consistent at the application level.

This post was written for inclusion in the monthly Carnival of Natural Parenting hosted by Hobo Mama and Code Name: Mama. This month our participants have shared how we parent despite and because of challenges thrown our way. Please read to the end to find a list of links to the other carnival participants.
My child Matthew has several special needs. He is a remarkable kid. He is outgoing, charismatic, charming, funny, and enthusiastic. If I ask him to help with some random task like laundry or cooking, his answer is invariably "YEAH SURE!" Going on a trip to the dump? Fetching the mail? Clipping the dog's toenails? He's so keen it's hysterical. He is also one of the hardest working, most persistent kids I know. It takes him so much effort to learn or master some things and he just keeps plugging away. It really seems like if there is a condition or syndrome to be had, Matthew has it, and yet he keeps on trucking despite them all, with no self pity. Just enthusiasm. Although he is remarkable and keen, he does have special needs. He has speech and language problems, bladder problems, and a learning disability.
When we adopted him he was fifteen months old, and he was...a handful...from the first day. Toddler adoptions are classified as 'special needs' adoptions because children at this age have the most difficulty adjusting simply because of their age. They are old enough to grasp the scope of loss and change they experience when being adopted, but they are not old enough to have developed the language skills to help prepare them and to process their grief. Matthew's grief was particularly deep, and his personality was more intense than any child we knew. On top of the regular special needs classification of being an adopted toddler, he had difficulties with emotional self regulation, chronic ear infections with hearing loss, allergies, and 'tunnel vision.' He cried a LOT. Whenever he was emotionally 'off,' he would hold his breath, turn blue, and pass out. He was emotionally off all. the. time. An average day saw three to five breath holding spells, and a bad day had upwards of nine or ten. He had so much to cope with, poor guy. And oh my gosh, man, so did we.
|Matthew, 2007, goofing around
|2010, with his older brother
I understand the fear of limitation that stands behind avoiding labels and avoiding special needs diagnoses. No one wants to hear that their child lives outside the normal because our children are so amazing and precious, and we don't want them limited or hurt. But how boring would the world be, filled with clones all wired the same? Isn't variety beautiful? Isn't a mind which thinks in spirals good for the world? There is so much beauty in the way his brain works, and how those who engage with him can be stretched and turned in unique ways as they try to understand him and help him succeed. Without him, and other children like him who have special needs, the world would have less compassion in it, less empathy, and far less creativity. Knowing my child liberates me from my previous way of thinking, and opens my mind to the deep value in diversity. And it forces me to consider what truly makes a person valuable. Intelligence? Success? Potential? Capacity for love? Uniqueness? Uniformity? Productivity? It forces me to think outside the box for solutions to problems I didn't know existed.
A diagnosis liberates us as Matthew's parents, because it gives us power to tackle the root cause of so many of his difficulties. It liberates Matthew, because it gives him the opportunity to master things that were difficult for him before, and brings more peace to his relationships. And it liberates those around him by stretching their imaginations around him and the way he is. It liberates us from that linear, parallel line approach to life and molds us so that we fit around circular patterns as well as parallel ones. Matthew has limitations in life because of his learning disability, and there is potential for him to be further limited by this diagnosis if teachers or other adults in his life are unable to see beyond it. But for now, mostly, we see freedom.

Anatomy of a Home Performance Retrofit
This article originally appeared in the September/October 2006 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
September 11, 2006
After years of helping others make their homes more comfortable, a home performance professional turns his attention to his own home.
If you're a homeowner, whom do you call when you find mold in a closet and on the ceiling of a ? How about when paint starts peeling on your dining room wall? Whom do you call when there's standing water in your crawlspace? Whom do you think to contact when it's getting harder and more expensive to keep the house warm in the winter?

[Note: I used to ape the standard liberal line that George W. Bush was a horrible education president. Then I met Mr. Wilber D. Snipes III of Crawford, Texas, and he showed me the error of my ways. So compelling were Mr. Snipes' arguments, I invited him to write the following open farewell to President Bush as a guest-post for Change.org on Bush's last day in office. Read and be enlightened.]
Dear President Bush,
Don't let that liberal media get you down with their polls. As one of the 17% of Americans who knows you were a great president – history (and your heavenly reward!) will prove the "Negative Nellies" wrong – I just want to say "Thank you!" for all the great work.
Because of your support for abstinence-only sex education, my teenage daughter and son are still virgins. As for the mean-spirited gossip around town that they've been playing games with their non-virginal zones in ways that make Sodom seem like Sunday School, well, let me tell you that they're just not true – my daughter's walk is that way from too much horseback-riding. She swore to that while we slow-danced at our Purity Ball last week. (And I double-darn guarantee you that Ball was a heck of a lot more fun than Barack Hussein Obama's inaugural ball will be. You should come next year, and bring your own lovely daughters!) Likewise, those little blemishes on their mouths and other parts of their pure bodies are just cold sores and pimples. That school nurse who said otherwise, and who showed me that study about how abstinence-only education is causing kids to increase in both sin and sickness? She can stick her liberal science where the sun don't shine.
Speaking of "science," I also want to thank you for putting those pesky, elitist, know-it-all "scientists" in their place over the last eight years. You and me both know that evolution is just a "theory," and that no matter how much some of us may look like monkeys, the Good Book says otherwise right there on page 2 of "Genesis" in God's own red, white, and blue English. Same with that so-called "global warming." You were right to silence those government scientists who drank the Al Gore kool-aid. Heck, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's hotter these days because of the population boom down in Hell. (More sinners, more fires. Heat rises. Boom: global warming. It's basic physics.) Anyway, thanks to you, my children know better than to believe all this "scientific research."
(You should see my kids, whenever "global warming" comes up, imitate your "Goodbye from the world's biggest polluter!" joke at your last G8 Summit. They do the fist-jab as they say it as perfectly as you did in front of all those world leaders. Thank you for setting that example for the young, Sir!)
Finally, I want to thank you for improving my children's reading and math skills. I can't believe how good they have become at choosing the right bubbles on all those state tests they've been taking. Those Nellies who say that those reading tests don't measure literacy should come to my house and watch my son and daughter read classics like Answers in Genesis, The Bell Curve, and Mein Kampf. I grill them after every chapter with comprehension questions, and they're 100% right every time. They understand the genius of these great works and argue their points against liberals who try to debate them with a force that makes this father proud. (As for math, they're better at calculating how much my savings have shrunk than I am!)
Mr. President, I could say much more, but I think I'll stop here. God bless you, Sir, for all you've done in your service to America – and God save us from the years of liberal tyranny we face when you're gone.
Wilber D. Snipes III
Crawford, Texas
P.S. Congratulations on the postage stamp! I was in a fraternity too, and let me tell you, I surely appreciate your whacky way of telling the liberals where to get off!!!

I have the opportunity to purchase either a Miller "Legend" AEAD 200LE (ser#KA759...) or a Miller "Wildcat" 225G (ser#JK602...) from a family member. Both have Onan engines, and are understood to be fully functional. Neither looks real great or has an hour meter. If anyone can shed some light on perks, capabilities, etc. for one versus the other or price expectancy; it would be much appreciated.

Legend vs. Wildcat???
You can download the owners manuals by plugging in the serial numbers here..
that will allow you to do a side by side comparison of specs, features, duty cycle etc...
finding them by serial number will insure that you are downloading the version that matches the build series of your machines...
you can also get the approx build date if they are not too old by looking them up on the serial number chart..
The more you know, The better you know, How little you know
The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten
Buy the best tools you can afford.. Learn to use them to the best of your ability.. and take care of them...

I can't speak on the Wildcat, but I had a Legend and loved the fact that it had 110v power at an idle. Only 5,000 watts, but for most power tools that was adequate. It also had a 9 amp receptacle for 110v power while welding...

Sorry, product information is unavailable at this time.
Jurlique has spent more than 25 years unearthing potent organic ingredients and developing their unique Bio-Intrinsic™ process to create the purest, most powerful skin care possible. From their organic farm in South Australia to their leading natural innovations, they've unlocked the potential of combining nature with science to create esthetically pleasing, effective products. For you, that simply means healthy, more beautiful skin.
The Jurlique farm
Plants on the Jurlique farm live a pampered life. Jurlique's founders searched the world for the richest, cleanest earth on which to establish the farm, and found it in the Adelaide Hills. Today, this pristine environment is home to a wide variety of plants, herbs and flowers that lend their natural power to Jurlique's high-performance blends. As the only Australian beauty brand with their own certified organic farm (certified by NASAA, National Association of Sustainable Agriculture, Australia), they can attest to the purity of our harvest.
They follow strict organic farming principles in order to achieve their accreditation. To preserve the perfection of nature, they tend, pick and sort crops by hand. By working with nature and never against it, they foster richer soil, which means healthier plants, potent extracts and more efficacious products. So it's a natural progression from better farming to more beautiful skin.
What's the secret?
Jurlique doesn't subscribe to the idea that beautiful skin starts in a laboratory. They believe that no synthetic formula can match the power of nature to promote radiant, healthy-looking skin. That's why Jurlique developed their proprietary Bio-Intrinsic™ process. This artisanal approach, honed over generations of research and development, draws out the potent elements present in botanicals, isolates them, intensifies them and reformulates them to be even greater than the sum of their parts. By unlocking the full potential of nature, they've proven that harsh chemical formulations simply aren't required. True beauty begins in the earth.
Natural skin care with uniquely enhanced power and efficacy
Everything Jurlique does is geared toward formulating products that address the causes of skin concerns to enhance radiance and health. This allows Jurlique to deliver noticeable, lasting benefits regardless of your skin composition or how many seasons you've seen. Their products complement one another, which means Jurlique can deliver a ritual that's customized to your skin's unique needs. Their exacting standards are key to their success…and the real proof is that products pass the most important test – they give you beautiful, healthy skin.
To restore optimal balance to every skin type each day, featuring innovative textures and natural fragrances.
To help protect the skin from the first signs of aging with potent botanicals and antioxidants, featuring the Herbal Recovery collection.

Rose Hand Cream
"I have been using this cream for more than 10 years. I used to work with chemicals at one point, tried every hand cream available until this...It saved my hands! I now recommend it to everyone. It has helped friends with problem skin on the hands - including men too - yes it's true!"
Rosewater Balancing Mist
"My skin has become EXTRA sensitive over the last year with eczema flaring up underneath my eyes, etc. However using this, I have found no problems whatsoever! It smells beautiful and fresh, like real garden roses. It does not smell old-fashioned like some other 'rose scents.' I find this leaves my skin hydrated, radiant and dewy. I also use this to help set my makeup and it creates a beautiful finish. I would highly recommend this and would never be without it."

Amanda Bynes (r.) poses with a fan in NYC. (Twitter)
The 27-year-old got up close and personal with at least two fans on the busy streets of Manhattan. In one photo, which the Big Apple transplant posted on Twitter, she is dressed down in sweats, Adidas slide sandals with socks, and, of course, oversize shades as she stands alongside a young woman outside a New York City department store.
In a second photo, presumably taken during the same outing, she is pictured with a young guy.
[Related: Amanda Bynes: 5 Reasons We Hope She Gets Her Groove Back in Her 27th Year]
Bynes was feeling social online as well. She retweeted a dizzying amount of messages from her followers consisting mostly of fan-made pictures of her using the many selfies she's posted on Twitter recently. Our favorites include the Amanda poodle and Amanda cat.
In case you haven't been paying attention (and we wouldn't fault you if you weren't), Bynes has been complaining recently about the paparazzi photos the media uses in stories about her, imploring gossip sites to only use photos she posts of herself.
Speaking of fandom, Bynes also showed some of her own -- to her celeb crush Drake.
After recently professing her love for the rapper, and saying something about her lady bits that we won't reiterate here, she posted a new message to him on Sunday -- a photo of the heartthrob with just one word: "King."
Drake has said nothing yet about her becoming his queen, but we suspect she'll tweet all about it if he does.
