Are you a child who is really bored and doesn't know what to watch on TV? Well you've came to the right place, in this review I will be telling you what the top 5 children channels are. Here are the 5 TV channels I will be telling you about which are: Disney Channel, Disney XD, Nickelodeon, Nicktoons and Cartoon network. If you want to find out more information about these fantastic children channels then carry on reading.
Disney Channel
Disney channel is great for little children especially girls. Disney channel comes on the number 609 in a Sky viewing box and after one hour you can find a replay of the programme you missed on the number 610 in a Sky viewing box which is a catch up Disney channel. The good thing about Disney channel is that the adverts are really short on the other hand the bad thing is that in the advertisement they only show things about Disney and nothing else. If what I'm going to tell you are not enough information about this channel then you can always go to the actual Disney channel website to watch your favourite show, play games, find more information and etc. They show Disney movies which I will be telling you about shortly. Some of the shows that come on Disney channel are: Shake it up Chicago, Hannah Montana forever, Hannah Montana, Wizards of Waverly place, Sonny with a Chance, Suite life on deck, Suite life of Zack and Cody, Fish hooks, Phineas and Ferb, Good luck Charlie, Jake and Blake, Jonas LA and much more. Some of the movies on that come on Disney channel are: Friends for change, Sharpays fabulous adventure, High school musical, High school musical 2, Wizard of Waverly place the movie, Camp rock, Camp rock 2 and many more also new movies will be showing on this channel in future.
Disney XD
Now I will be telling you about Disney XD. Disney XD comes on 607 in the Sky viewing box also the one hour replay Disney XD comes on 608 in the sky viewing box so you could watch the programme that you have missed. Like Disney channel there is a website for Disney XD so you can find more brief information that you are looking for about that channel. Some of the shows that come on Disney XD are: Zeke and Luther, Phineas and Ferb, Pair of kings, I'm in the band, Suite life of Zack and Cody, Suite life on deck, Kick Buttowski, Jimmie two shoes, Kid vs. Kat, Aaron stone, Galactic foot ball and many more fabulous shows.

Nickelodeon and Nicktoons have the same website. Furthermore Nickelodeon and Nicktoons show most of the same television programs as each other, therefore, they are very similar.
Cartoon Network
Now I will be telling you about Cartoon Network. Cartoon network comes on the channel number 601 in the Sky viewing box and just like all the other Channels I've just mentioned this channel also has a Website. Cartoon Network mostly shows cartons as the name of the channel should give you a major hint also they show mostly boys cartoons.

If you press the red button (on the channel) in the Sky remote you can even play fabulous mini games. Now that is what I call cool! You can even go on the website and play games, watch episodes you might have missed and do much more. The great thing about CBBC is that not only can you watch your favourite programmes (on the channel) but you can also go on BBC iplayer to watch the programme you missed. Now I will be naming some of the TV shows that are on CBBC. There is young Dracula, wolverine and the x man, wingin it, what's new Scooby Doo, Wallace and Gromit, trust me I'm a genie, trapped, trade your way to USA, Tracy Beaker, Shaun the sheep, serious ocean, thumb wrestling, Sadie J, federation Scoop, stuck on sheep mountain Sarah Janes adventures, sports village, Sam and Mark's TMI Friday, ROY, splatalot, roman mysterious, roar, Raven, spirit warriors, remote control star, outback 8, the sparticle mystery, project parent, prank petrol, sorry I've got no head, pixel face, paradise café, the slammer, news round, oogles, neva land, natural born hunters, almost famous family, muddle earch, mission 2110, Merlin, me and my monsters, M.I high, Lockie Leonard, live n deadly, little Howard's big question, Jinx, Leonard, the legend of Dick and Dom, the legend of super evil just William, junior master chef, hounded, hotel trouble, horrible histories, HH: Gory games, Gimme a break, gastonuts, Friday download, Fee Fi Fo yum, escape from the scorpion Island, Doctor who: dream land, Dick and Dom's funny business, Dick and Dom go wild, Dennis and Gnasher, Deadly art, deadly 60, dead gorgeous, Dani's house, Da Dick and Dom diaries, copycats, cop school, Chuckle Vision, CBBC jokes, cartoon works, Blue Peter, The big performance, Big babies, beat the boss, bear behaving badly, Bamzooki, Arthur, animals at work, all over the place, adventure rock and many more fascinating shows.

After changing over from ADSL to Cable, i have noticed great speed increases with downloading from http and ftp.
However, i have been having great difficulty with port forwarding - affecting gaming and/or bittorrenting.
Here's the thing. I have been reading reports of success with port forwarding on Cable - no doubt this is correct. I had little difficulty doing the same thing on ADSL. But upon making the switch to cable, things have been a little more difficult. I have not been able to forward/open one single port since the change. Some details are:
Optus Cable
Motorola SB5100 Cable Modem
TP-LINK Wifi Router
Ok, so, is it the fact that the SB5100 is not a router (i have heard that all ports are open by default, but every scan and test i have done show that all are closed)?
Would an all in one Unit do the job with less hassle?
If i was to buy another box (cable modem+router), there are some things i need to clarify first.
Firstly, Is ADSL2+ a speed specification, or is it pertaining to the splitting of the phone line like standard ADSL?
Secondly, are all references that are made to Cable internet and Cable Modems pertaining to the Coax cable infrastructure? For example, are all modems that are 'Cable Modems/Routers' able to be plugged into a Coax internet cable?
Sorrt about that last one, but that is what confuses me....I dont want to buy a Cable router only to find out that it uses a phone cable like ADSL.
Well, if you managed to decipher all that garbage, i'd be glad to read any feedback and possibly answers.

I am a chatty guy. Ask anyone who knows me and they'll tell you "Oh yeh. He's quite a talker...."
So you would think that with so much to say, I would have had my own blog ages ago. But no. Just starting. SO wish me luck.
So who am I?
Tough question. Let me break it down then:
A human being (by far the most important classification of my existance)
A man
A life partner
A father
A scientist
There are many more, but we'll stop here for now.
Yes. I am a scientist. What does that mean? I'm not sure, but still learning....

Helping Your Garden Tools Last Longer
One of the best ways to live more sustainably is by keeping the things we have as long as possible. A "green" product is not just one that's made with the best materials or the best manufacturing practices; it also should be something that's well-made, so it can last as long as you need it. Garden tools are a perfect example of something that makes sense to choose based on quality. Once you've chosen something well-made, it's up to you to take good care of your tools. Here are some tips for keeping your garden tools in perfect shape.
- Wooden handles on garden tools need regular maintenance. Once a year or so, wipe the handle off and use fine sandpaper to gently smooth the wood. Clean off the dust, and rub in linseed oil, letting it soak in. Keep rubbing the oil in until the wood stops absorbing it. After about an hour, wipe off any remaining oil.
- Metal parts of tools can be cleaned off with a wire brush once a year. The wire brush removes dirt and light rust; if there's more serious rust, try soaking the tool in vinegar or using steel wool. Cutting tools should be filed to keep them sharp.
- It's a good idea to store metal tools in a bucket of coarse sand mixed with vegetable oil. (Use 3/4 quart of oil in 5 gallons of sand if you have a lot of tools. For a smaller container, try upcycling an old coffee can). The sand helps clean off dirt, and the oil prevents rust. Tools can be stored in the bucket over the winter, as well as between uses. If you don't clean your tools this way, you should rinse, dry, and oil them after each use.

"Possible near-term turbulence but Canadian market to remain on track The most likely scenario, in our view, is a mostly flat trend in housing demand in Canada overall in the next two years (and potentially beyond). The risk of a significant, sustained and widespread drop will be limited given our expectation of a positive economic context that will sustain growth in household income and of a gradual pace of interest rate policy normalization – the Vancouver market could be an exception"
The lack of affordability of housing would have far reaching affects in BC where more than 70% of disposable income consumed in mortgage liability. The creative , young class is fleeing the province as they could not afford house with their meagre salaries, which also lead to migration of businesses to other provinces. The US style crash is not viable because of strong immigration along with investors from China racking up properties and pay astonishingly high price.
Strong Canadian $ also has disastrous affect on Canadian businesses. Everyone is driving down south and save 20-40% and use the leverage of strong Canadian $ . However , according to Robert Shiller Canada is lucky while facing economic turmoil , high prices of oil and commodities saved Canada . Was this saving or destroying ? The time will tell

We recently returned to shoot some more photos for Kathryn White, innkeeper extraordinaire of The Beechmont Inn in Hanover, PA, just outside Gettysburg. It was really great to be back. Kathryn is a die-hard foodie and takes all things food-related very seriously at her inn. She is a part of the Bed and Breakfast Foodies group, a collective of eight Innkeepers (AKA "8 Broads in the Kitchen") who share their love of food and great recipes on their popular blog.
We kept things a little messy and "real" for some of the shots and also shot some classic "cleaned-up" versions. The Foodies group is working on a new cookbook and I think some casual "in progress" shots will be great for that project. These types of shots are actually particularly appropriate for inns, where there is an emphasis on "authenticity" and home-made food; they are very effective at telling the story. Not shown: the drool coming from the mouths of Jumping Rocks as we were shooting these incredible sticky buns!
|Kathryn's killer cinnamon rolls in progress
|Kathryn's egg baked in ham with local heirloom tomatoes and biscuit
We also shot some cookies at the Beechmont….yum!
And…I could not resist shooting the 145-year-old Magnolia tree (the centerpiece of the Beechmont Garden) early the next morning. Although the sun was not cooperating that morning, we were able to light the tree artificially with a large flash…but it looks pretty natural, I think!

SEE ALSO: How Photography Changed Time - Part 2
As a photographer for the last forty years, I only just begun to appreciate the power of photography and how it changed the world.
Time is very different now than it was before photography. Before photography there were only written records, which were often subjective, along with paintings and drawings -- plus memories that were often flawed or that faded within a few year's time.
Photography freezes time. Photography can record reality, objects and details in the real world, independent of our memories. This objective ability can allow us to view the past without the mist of emotions, the rose colored glasses that often tint our recollection of the past.
Why photography is the art of time: A photographic exposure is a combination of the amount of light coming through the lens combined with the amount of time that light is allowed to hit light sensitive material. Time is at the core of photography. This works in two ways. One: the moment the photo is shot freezes an instant in time. Two: the length of the shutter speed can capture an image so that it looks normal to the human eye or capture a picture in ways that the eye cannot see. My next blog will cover that second aspect in detail.Photographs are used routinely in court cases and other legal matters because they are believed to show an objective picture of reality. While not entirely true, the phrase, "the camera doesn't lie" echoes this idea.
Time, in a sense, can now be grabbed, taken hold of. We can look at our past in our family photo album or an old yearbook.
100 years ago when Kodak introduced the Brownie, photography became available to every level of society, from government, to companies, to the upper class and to the average citizen.
The Wikipedia article on the Brownie included this fascinating comment: "In 1908, the Austrian architectural critic Joseph August Lux wrote a book called Künstlerische Kodakgeheimnisse (Artistic Secrets of the Kodak) in which he championed the use of the camera for its cultural potential. ...he argued that the accessibility the camera provided for the amateur meant that people could photograph and document their surroundings and thus produce a type of stability in the ebb and flow of the modern world."
Now, of course, there are many subjective aspects to photography in which a photographer can chose what to photograph or emphasize and what to leave out -- or even stage the shot. Yet at the moment the shutter is snapped, the photograph is a real world record of what was in front of the lens. (See footnote about Photoshop.)
Look at your family album with photos from ten or twenty years ago. A sharp shot will show the patterns on a dress, the hair cuts, the toys, the decorations in precise detail -- detail that could not have been preserved any other way.
We might call the time before photography, pre-photographic
just as we call the time before written records, prehistoric.
If there is truth to the idea that "a picture is worth a thousand words" then visual/photo literacy is now just as important as the written word.
If you think that I am exaggerating the importance of photography, try to imagine the world without it: no television with photography (film, video, still photos), no instant replays, no YouTube videos, movies, camera-phone snap shots, no photos sent to you on your cell phone, no baby pictures, no yearbook portraits, no photos in catalogues, online stores, newspapers, books or blogs...The illiterate of the future will be the person ignorant of the use of the camera as well as the pen. Laszlo Moholy-Nagy
These pictures demonstrate the power of photography. They affect us today not only because they document war in precise detail -- detail that historians will study for centuries -- but because we know that they recorded an actual moment of real people whose lives were wrenched apart. No other art form has this feeling of reality and brings the past alive.
NOTE: This series of photographs shows war in all its horrible extremes from death to unbridled joy when the war was over -- and contains pictures that may be disturbing to some readers. Viewer discretion is advised.

Footnote: Okay -- Photoshop can change what the camera saw, but that is a different question. Plus digital manipulation is usually pretty obvious and only a tiny fraction of the billions of photos being shot now are being altered.

I see that Cato has added anti-abortion guys Tucker Carlson and Nat Hentoff to its ranks. I've been complimentary of Cato in the past for supporting unpopular positions liberals and libertarians can agree on, like stopping the drug war that's ripping apart Mexico and urban America.
But look, Cato people. This is bullshit.
I get some of the basic intuitions that make libertarianism go. I understand that people don't want the government wiretapping them. I see how people could be unhappy with the deal they're getting when the government takes away a big chunk of their annual income for a bunch of services. I get how it'd annoy you if there was some mutually agreeable contract you wanted to make and the government stopped you, or if onerous regulations blocked a beneficial way for you to develop your business. I get how you might not like the government telling you what you could smoke or drink or snort. Having no need for additional protection or a symbolic extra penis, I don't really get the gun thing, but I can see how some people get into it.
But you know what would be worse than having the government deny your liberty in any of these ways? If the government made you grow a creature your abdomen for nine months, despite the fact that you desperately didn't want it to be there and there was a simple way for it to be taken out. If this weren't a core part of the policy agenda of the until-recently-dominant political party, it'd sound like the premise of some kind of wacky sci-fi dystopia.
Look, you can tap my phone. You can overtax me and hedge my business in with weird regulations. You can keep me from smoking or drinking or snorting stuff. And, guns, whatever. But please, don't force unwilling people to grow other people inside their tummies for nine months. Here's David Boaz getting all upset about how pro-choicers aren't cool with the whole libertarian program and its focus on choice. There's a reason for that, Mr. Boaz. It's because all the other rights you mention look pretty darned trivial compared to the one at stake in the abortion debate. Who a lady can hire is negotiable. Whether the government can force her to grow a living creature inside her abdomen is not.
If there were a solid case for an early-term fetus having even the faintest glimmer of a mind, that would make a difference. You might have to do some heavy stuff when a creature capable of reason and feeling is located inside another creature capable of reason and feeling. Fortunately, we aren't faced with that problem, since the neural circuitry for something as simple as experiencing pain doesn't show up until the end of the second trimester. Bringing in the law in after that might not be unreasonable. But abortions that late are almost always done because the mother's life or health is at risk, giving us reasons not to constrain doctors unnecessarily.
Cato does have people -- well, one person, Sigrid Fry-Revere -- who gets the size of the rights violation involved in banning abortion. But mostly, it isn't an issue they care a lot about. While this guy says he's pro-choice, his article is about how abortion isn't as big a deal as other stuff. Plenty of the commentary is of the "oh you say you're pro-choice, but why do you support public arts funding" variety.
Which shows you something. When it comes to one of the most central and obvious cases -- whether the law can force an unwilling person to grow another creature inside her body for nine months -- feminists have a much better grip on individual rights than so-called libertarians.

It's coming up on 4 years ago that Elizabeth Scalia, aka The Anchoress, and I had an online spat of sorts.
Without delving into the details of the quarrel (feel free to pursue them yourself at the link), suffice it to say that via the wonder that is hindsight I can now confidently state that particular squabble has proven to be the turning point, the proverbial fork in the road moment, of my trek back to Catholicism.
Ms. Scalia was able to gently yet firmly set me straight on a wrongheaded, even ignorant, opinion I was using to justify an action. Her correction masterfully, though not initially, made me turn inward, made me check my premises, made me stop and think about something I was holding on to with passionate yet foolhardy rigidity. Though I'm sure she didn't know it at the time, she was confronting me with something that stood between me and the truth. In fact, again looking back, I can affirm that this something stood between me and The Truth.
All of which brings us to Elizabeth's new book Strange Gods, Unmasking the
Idols of Every Day Life.
The book
arrived on my doorstep just a few days ago and I've been devouring it. Unlike too many faith-focused books I've laid my hands on in the recent past -- books I lose interest in finishing because of syrupy platitudes or the highfalutin theological gobbledygook contained therein -- this book was a literal page turner, with one insight after another worthy of noting, worthy of sharing.
Take as an example, and trust me when I say the book is filled with these nuggets, something Elizabeth wrote in Chapter Eight, a chapter she titled The Super Idols:
We all do that from time to time; we get caught up in our cause, and we become careless with our words. Sometimes that's about busyness and distraction, and not idolatry. But when we catch ourselves being thoughtless (or when someone points it out to us), we should consider the first commandment and ask ourselves if we have not elevated the object of our enthrallment to that position where it blocks God.
Those words take me back to that squabble back in August of '09, the spat that began this piece, a time when I was not just stubbornly blocking a view of God I now cling to but a time when I was holding to a distorted view of Him l thought was not just reasonable but pure. The God I knew then, the God I was in essence imposing upon others who had good reason to be offended by that imposition, was in fact a strange god.
Ms. Scalia gently unmasked that unknowing idol to me four years ago and that unmasking led to a series of decisions that brought me home to my Catholic roots.
Pick up her book today and perhaps she'll unmask an idol or two for you. Who knows where that might take you?

The CSO released the latest Quarterly National Accounts covering the first quarter of 2010. While seasonally adjusted GDP is up by 2.7% on the previous quarter, GNP is down by 0.5% (net factor outflows were up 11%on the previous quarter) . Compared to the same quarter in 2009 GDP was down by 0.7% and GNP was 4.2% lower. Exports are up compared both to the previous quarter and the same quarter a year ago. Building and construction has continued to contract significantly (-16.3%) while other industry has done very well (+11.6% for Industry including Building and Construction).

Relative Food Prices Across Europe
Yesterday Eurostat released their annual comparison of food prices. It shows that the prices in Ireland are the second highest in the EU after Denmark. What is more worrying is that instead of coming down faster in Ireland than in other countries food prices were actually relatively higher in 2009 than in 2008 or 2007. Irish consumers pay 29.2% more than the EU average. While Italy and Finland improved their relative price levels all other Euro members disimproved. The biggest relative improvement was recorded by Iceland, followed by Sweden and Poland.
Ireland Paying a High Price for Austerity
The New York Times carries a lengthy article (plus plenty of photos in a slideshow format) on the Irish situation: you can read it here.
A more accurate and comprehensive headline might have been: "Ireland paying a high price for boom-bust cycle in property sector and attendant banking crisis, amplified and abetted by procyclical fiscal policy and now requiring a sustained fiscal correction" – but that is probably too long!
Update: Paul Krugman adds his view in this post.
Athlone is the target of a major Chinese investment initiative, according to this Guardian report: you can read it here.
The Hand of Henry
According to the Volkskrant, each World Cup match of Oranje costs the Netherlands economy 130 mln euro — essentially because people sit around watching telly instead of working. Oranje has yet to sparkle, so there was limited joy to offset the loss in productivity.
Thanks to Henry, Ireland's economy was spared a similar fate — although the Boys in Green certainly would have put in a better performance than les Bleus.
External Review of Department of Finance
The last week has seen a lot of coverage of the announcement by Brian Lenihan that there will be an external review of the Department of Finance. Some media responses:
Colm Kearney on the smart economy
In today's Business Post, Colm argues that "smart" should be defined broadly if it is to stimulate economic growth, rather than the narrow focus on gadgets that the government is currently following
Others and I have argued roughly the same, in different words, but without much traction
I guess that in ten years time, when an independent expert will evaluate the lack of return on investment in the smart economy, politicians will argue no one had warned them at the time

Maybe it's the crazy hot prickly heat in Texas right now or maybe we're swayed by the low maintenance of these desert plants, but whatever it is, we are totally obsessed with cactus right now.
It seems like we aren't alone in this newfound obsession either. Cactus prints seem to be everywhere these days and we are absolutely loving it. We've rounded up a few of our favorite cactus baby items below. Who knew cacti and babies went so well together?! ;)
1.) If we're going to let our babies chew on any kind of cacti it's going to be this one. This little wool felt teether from Boo & Bear is adorable!
2. Our Cactus Swaddle is one of our most popular swaddles right now! You guys have been asking for the Cactus pattern in crib sheets, changing pad covers, etc. Stay tuned and we may or may not expand the cactus line!
3. We can only imagine how precious a little baby girl would be in this dress from Modern Burlap stockist, Baby Swag! We love the long sleeves on this dress - a perfect fall or winter dress!
4. This onesie!! We can't get enough of it. We really love LolaandStella and this onesie has definitely been added to our "must get immediately" list.
5. These little Old Navy beanies come as a duo and sitting at the perfect price! Love the color combination - a perfect gift to get any mama-to-be who is waiting to find out the sex of her baby!

In the Wall Street Journal, AHS speaker Michael O'Hanlon discusses President Obama's plan to remove all U.S. combat units from Afghanistan by the end of his presidency:
"The danger in Afghanistan and Pakistan tomorrow is the same as the danger in Iraq today. Without a unilateral counterterrorism capability in Afghanistan, al Qaeda may regenerate in South Asia as quickly as it has regenerated in Iraq."

Krauthammer on Obama's Latest 6 Year Stimulus Plan: "Even Lenin Had the Modesty to Stop at Five" (Video)
Charles Krauthammer responded to President Obama's latest announcement of a six year stimulus plan…
"Even Lenin had the modesty to stop at five."
Charles Krauthammer:
"This is another example of this administration acting for the appearance of activity. It doesn't have a clue what to do. It just threw a half a trillion dollars at the first stimulus. As we saw earlier in the show, almost 60% of Americans believe it did absolutely nothing. And they have no ideas. The economy is still in a ditch so they come up with a mini-stimulus… I like the way the president announces we hear this is going to be a six-year plan. Even Lenin had the modesty to stop at five."

The fact that we lack a standardized format for web videos is ticking me off a lot, like many users on the web. Deciding that enough is enough, Google, Mozilla, and Opera Software teamed up to develop a free, open video format that will hopefully become the standard container for all web videos.
Dubbed WebM, the new format combines the VP8 codec for the video portion and the open-sourced Vorbis for the audio portion. It also features accompanying file extensions and a new MIME type. Eagle-eyed readers could note that Google got the VP8 video compression technology when it acquired On2 Technologies last August. The VP8 codec is said to enable fast encoding and small file sizes, delivering picture quality comparable to that of H.264.
As you know, the majority of web videos are encoded using either Flash Video or H.264. While the former owes its popularity to YouTube, Apple popularized the latter because it uses H.264 as a default video format on iPhones, iPods, and iPads, in addition to iTunes and Mac OS X. Flash Video also supports H.264 content, but many people are wondering if we in fact need Adobe's proprietary technology to stream videos on the web. On the other hand, H.264 will remain free for streaming web videos through 2016. That being said, many fear that the MPEG-LA consortium, which owns H.264 codec, may enforce hefty royalties come 2016.
To make matters even worse, Google's Chrome, Opera Software's Opera, and Apple's Safari browser all support H.264 out-of-the-box, but not Firefox. Instead, Mozilla's browser supports the open-sourced Ogg Theora codec that is considered outdated and less capable than H.264. As a result, developers looking to cater for both Flash and non-Flash users must encode their videos in three different formats: Flash Video for those who prefer Flash, in addition to Ogg Theora and H.264 variants for the users of Firefox and all other browsers, respectively.
WebM could fix this mess in one fell swoop, especially if YouTube will support it. However, WebM might face strong resistance if Apple steers away from it and instead sticks with H.264, as TechCrunch's Ercik Schonfeld pointed out. Adding the support for a new video format across Apple's ecosystem would be something of a brain-transplant for Apple. In fact, the Californian firm could easily sabotage WebM. Don't you think it takes a great deal of imagination to believe that Apple would support a Google-proposed standard?

Leaders bullish on Gateway rent deal prospects
By Ronda Kaysen
Negotiations between the Gateway Plaza landlord, the Lefrak Organization, and the Gateway Plaza Tenants Association may be picking up steam with a nudge from Community Board 1 as the June expiration date for rent-stabilized leases fast approaches.
Community Board 1s Battery Park City committee comprised primarily of Gateway Plaza tenants who could not vote on the issue drafted a resolution at its Oct. 5 meeting urging a speedy resolution to what has become a lengthy negotiation process. State Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver negotiated a five-year rent stabilized lease extension with the LeFrak family more than a year ago, but when the familys patriarch, Sam LeFrak, died in April 2003, all negotiations ceased while his estate was settled. Now, as the June expiration date looms, the tenants association is eager to seal the deal and make plans for a more permanent affordable housing solution for the largest housing complex in Battery Park City. With more than 1,700 units in the six-building complex, Gateway Plaza houses close to half of the population of Battery Park City.
Tenants are concerned and they want some certainty that the extension is going to be put into place, said Jeff Galloway, a member of the tenants association executive board and the Battery Park City committee member who drafted the resolution.
Galloway is confident the agreement will be honored. The proposed resolution merely reflects a desire to keep the Lefrak Organization abreast of the communitys position. Its appropriate to remind the landlord that we care about this as a community we care about this, he said.
Built in 1982, Gateway Plaza has always been a rent-stabilized, market-rate apartment complex. Some new tenants pay as much as $4,000 a month for their units, while older tenants pay closer to $2,500 a month for two-bedroom apartments. All apartments under the current lease agreement are rent-stabilized. When the leases begin to expire at the end of June, Lefrak (if the organization has not entered into a new rental agreement) will be free to charge market rate for all units.
Stabilization has the effect of not only stabilizing rent, but stabilizing neighborhoods, said Galloway. If the rents soar, Galloway worries that many of the families and long-term residents will leave the neighborhood for more affordable housing. Because of the immense size of Gateway, an exodus from Gateway could have a dramatic impact on the Battery Park Community as a whole. The kind of tenants that market-rate apartments attract tends to be young professionals, not families.
A Lefrak executive said the firm would not comment.
Gateway Plaza is the most stable development in our community, said Judy Rapfogel, Speaker Silvers chief of staff. We want it to continue to be that.
Using his power at the states Public Authority Control Board, the speaker convinced the LeFrak family to agree to guidelines similar to rent stabilization so that the owners could refinance their debt. The P.A.C.B.-regulated Battery Park City Authority manages the financial arrangement with Lefrak Organization. In early 2003, Silver negotiated an extension obligating the LeFraks to agree to rent stabilization increases until 2009 in exchange for P.A.C.B. approval for a debt refinancing. And then, in April, Sam LeFrak died, effectively bringing all negotiations to a standstill.
Despite the seeming inaction on the part of the LeFrak family, Rapfogel is confident a deal will be arranged at least for the next five years. [The LeFrak family] has continued to assure us that they want to live by the agreement, she said.
Not all parties rest assured that a deal will be reached. I dont think you can hang your hat on the current negotiations, said Tom Goodkind, a Battery Park City committee member and Gateway Plaza resident. Fearing an agreement will not be reached and that rents will soar, Goodkind said he would consider leaving the neighborhood and perhaps Manhattan entirely. Long term residents should expect the worst, he said.
Even if a five-year rent stabilization agreement is reached, the long-term future of Gateway Plaza is still uncertain. The C.B. 1 resolution calls for a permanent solution, but nothing is currently on the table. In 1995, Lefrak signed a 10-year lease extension. The five-year proposal is a marked move away from a long-term commitment. We obviously wanted more, Lefrak obviously wanted less, said Galloway. But Silvers office believed this was a fair deal and the best deal for a short-term solution. Galloway suggested a permanent rent-stabilization lease or a co-op conversion as two possible permanent solutions for Gateway.
Rapfogel is hesitant to raise expectations that negotiations for a long-term agreement are realistic. Wed love for a permanent solution, but we need to first finish what were working on now, she said.

Peyers patches are small oval lumps of lymphoid tissue that reside along the length of the small intestine. Each patch is an accumulation of up to 60 lymphoid follicles composed of B cells with T lymphocytes in the interfollicular areas. The digital images illustrated below were made with thin sections of peyers patches stained with eosin and hematoxylin.
The transmitted brightfield digital images above were recorded using a QX3 microscope that was modified for auxiliary illumination. This was accomplished by directing a fiber optic light pipe at a quarter-inch hole drilled into the front of the mixing chamber to increase the illumination intensity. The light pipe was aimed at the side of the mixing chamber to avoid directing illuminating the frosted diffusion screen.

The San Francisco Symphony opened its season with music by Bernstein.
As we were waiting, I wanted to use these cat whisker filter to take photos. But we got to the symphony hall quite earlier to hear the talk about Leonard Bernstein.
The talk wasn't that crowded, more people came during the talk, but I really enjoyed it! They showed clips of him being interviewed as well as a mini clip of one of the last symphony he conducted. He has such passion while he's conducting!
Here's Tim laughing at something I said.
Here's Tim being very studious reading the pamplet.
I wanted to see if the camera would pick up images and put on whiskers, and it does! That's MTT with whiskers.
Hehe, we're cats.
But truly, I'm a princess, and he's my prince (but he likes to call himself as a grey knight instead).
Here's me just being weird like normal. 🙂
Due to the hurricanes, some musicians were at different entrances playing before the concert as well as during intermission to highlight the Red Cross donation box next to them. Also, this concert's proceedings all went to the relief.
We never really get a full body shot of ourselves, since most of our photos are selfies as you can see from this post, so I asked this couple in front of us to take a photo of us. It kind of looks like we're going to prom, but just in front of the symphony store. We should have been facing City Hall, and the building being lit up in the background would have been a better backdrop.
Similar things to what I'm wearing:
Similar things to what Tim is wearing: Suit: Topman, Tie: Similar, Shoes:
Anyways, I really, really enjoy this cat filter. And it took a while before the camera was able to pick up Tim's eyes in order to give him whiskers.
I'm excited for the rest of the season! This season's lineup is much better than last year's lineup. Or it has more fun pieces. Last year, it was more technical pieces, and that's enjoyable to see, but not every show.
Do you guys go to any musical concerts or shows? What's your favourite?

In case you've ever felt like putting on a music festiva and wondered what it takes, well, you could take a look at the experience of my friend James Chapman. James organised the recent NonStuff acoustic music and permaculture festival at Wiston Lodge, which was a small but beautiful two day festival, as the pictures below demonstrate.
So what does it take? We, James already had lots of great contacts through his roles as a musician and member of the Forgotten Works band, and his work as a permaculture instructor. Add a healthy dollop of creativity, and some support for his crowdfunding campaign by social media types (like me) and you are half-way there.
Perhaps the main thing though is having the courage to take on an event like that. There was a decent chance that he would spend months working on the Festival, and maybe break even or make a loss. In the end, it was a success for both him and Wiston Lodge, so lets hope we'll be seeing NonStuff returning here next year.

THIS SECTION lists and describes all undergraduate and graduate courses taught by the departments of the University. The courses are presented by subjects, arranged alphabetically. The subject name (the heading in large type) is followed by the departmental symbol in parentheses. Below the subject appears a list of the departmental faculty.
The subject name (symbol) together with the course number constitutes the official designation for the course for purposes of registration and official records. The specific course title appears following the course number. The figures in parentheses denote the number of quarter hours of credit for the course. Following the credit hours are listed lecture and laboratory clock hours, if applicable. If none are listed, the course consists of lecture hours equal in number to course credit. Next appear the prerequisites (required courses to be taken prior to) and corequisites (required courses to be taken simultaneously with), if applicable.
With the implementation of a new student information computer system, Auburn University now employs a new method for identifying courses by four-letter departmental symbols and four-digit course numbers. The numbering system will carry over after the semester transition goes into effect. Courses were previously identified by a three-digit code. Numbers used as course identifiers will remain the same in this bulletin with the exception of the zero at the front. Also, departmental symbols formerly ranged from one to three letters. Now all departmental symbols are four letters. A list of the new symbols appears below. An example would be: EH 110 (English 110) is now listed as ENGL 0110. Listings for other course numbers would follow this same pattern.
Courses are numbered according to the following system:
0101-0199 Courses primarily for freshmen.
0201-0299 Courses primarily for sophomores.
0301-0399 Courses primarily for juniors.
0401-0499 Courses primarily for seniors. Not open to graduate students.
0501-0599 Courses for advanced undergraduate and graduate students; and for fifth year students in professional curricula. Junior Standing Required For Enrollment At This Level.

Good Afternoon, Crafty Peeps!
I am sure having fun over at Stampnation with their Virtual Retreat Challenges - it's really 'pushed' me into creating more and more! This place is full of inspiration from crafty creators! A great virtual community to be amongst.
This card below is for the 2nd challenge - Transportation/travel related. I only had one travel-y type stamp and it's from Kanban. I do love this stamp so it was a pleasure to create with.
I enjoyed watercolouring the image with Tim Holtz's Distress Inks.
So, I hope you like it? I plan on being back soon with another creation for the challenge!
See you soon....
Mandy :)

Childhood games of cowboys and Indians take on a completely new dimension when played with your partner grown-up style. So pick up a hat, put on some warpaint and prepare for an afternoon of pleasure.
The Hollywood western inspired many generations of children to play the game of cowboys and Indians. The hardy pioneer and the Indian braves, who battled for land in the wild west, were the heroes of the silver screen. Children emulated their struggles in simplified romps, chasing each other endlessly with bows, arrows, slings and guns.
Grown-up style
Grown up games of cowboys and Indians can be just as much fun, with their more sophisticated aims, not of death but of ambush and submission. You can play in the house or, if you have a secluded garden or know of a deserted piece of land, out of doors. Just make sure you don't frighten the neighbours; otherwise you might find yourself with some explaining to do.
You don't need to dress up, but it adds to the fun and can also be quite a turn-on. Even the most ordinary man has a certain appeal when dressed in a check shirt, jeans and leather cowboy boots, and the soft suede of the Indian costume could almost have been invented to cling seductively around a woman's curves.
The aim of the first part of the game is to take your partner by surprise and immobilize them.
If you are playing the part of the sheriff, then you can use handcuffs; if a simple cowboy, then use your lasso or your whip. If you are taking the role of the Indian brave or squaw, then use a piece of thick trapper's rope. But no matter if you have little more than a dressing gown cord – it is the depth of your fantasy that counts.
Stealth and silence
Stealth and silence are all-important in the cowboy and Indian game, for it is up to you to take your enemy unawares if they are to be your captive. This may mean much creeping around and hiding in wardrobes and under beds, but if you can touch them with your hand or your 'weapon' before they have seen you or sensed your presence, then you have all but won the game.
Toss a coin to decide who is to be the hunter and who the hunted, or if space allows it you can stalk one another.
Taking a captive
Once you have found and grabbed your prisoner, they are wholly in your power and you must make them secure. Bind them with the rope or cord, tight enough so that they cannot escape, yet loose enough to enable them to move around and not be uncomfortable.
Now your prisoner is completely under your control, it is up to you to decide their fate. Are you going to scalp them, burn them at the stake or abandon them to rot in the desert – or have you something deliciously wicked in mind?
Feather power
'Tickle torture' is an alternative solution and, if the Indian has won the first round, she has the perfect implement with which to inflict divine discomfort – her feather.
She can remove his cowboy boots and, ever so slowly, drag the feather along the soles of his bare feet until he screams for mercy.
If he is really susceptible to the feather's power, there is no need to limit the tickling to such a small area. She can remove his trousers and run the feather up and down the inside of his thighs and even around his genitals. She should continue until he cannot stand it any longer and is ready to give in to her every command.
Tempting tricks
When she feels he has suffered enough physical discomfort, it is time for a little visual stimulation. She can loosen her clothes and, keeping her captive at a distance, tempt him with the delights of her body, knowing that he can look but not touch.
She can slowly reveal her breasts, moving tantalizingly close, so that he can feel the heat of her body, then back away.
If he becomes aroused, she can treat him to more visual thrills. Standing above her captive, legs either side of his helpless form, she can raise her skirt and seductively lower her panties, swaying her hips hypnotically while tempting him with the potential delights of her femininity.
If he is strong and if he is handsome, he may be lucky enough to be allowed to sample those delights, but only in the manner which she chooses.
If it is oral or penetrative lovemaking she wants, there is no need to untie him. Keeping his hands secure so that he cannot touch her will change the sensations for him and focus the pleasure for her.
Only at the end my it be necessary to free him, as the passion of each lover reaches fever pitch.
Cowboy capers
If the cowboy is the victor, he can treat his Indian captive in much the same way, using the cold metal of his toy gun to elicit frissons of desire from her warm skin.
Rather than a visual display of masculinity, he can seduce her with kisses, starting at her feet and working up to her inner thighs until she is limp with pleasure. Only then will she be ready to do his bidding and make love to her captor with wild abandon.
Peace pow wow
At the end of the game, both captor and captive can enjoy a peace pow wow, soaking in a hot desert spring (a warm bath) to wash away the sticky traces of the game. Then you can resume your normal identities.

Remy is my girl. Considering how the last month has gone, I feel like I should mention now that she is very much alive and well.
I adopted her a little more than three years ago when she was about 12 weeks old. She's always been a little aloof, preferring to go about her business and come to me when she wants pets or attention. She's more vocal than Keegan ever was, though, always willing to let me know when she wants food, wants love, or wants me to open the bathroom do so she can do something disgusting like drink out of the toilet.
She'll hop into my lap occasionally, but rarely settles down, and she'll come sit on the bed with me, but her all-time record for time was about fifteen minutes.
She and Keegan kept their distance from each other, though Keegan would sometimes pin her to the ground so he could lick her head, and she'd purr and lick him back until someone took it too far and they ended up wrestling. Mostly, they kept to themselves.
So it took me a little while to realize that she wasn't taking Keegan's disappearance well. She started searching for him and mourning him while he was still at the vet's and I was still convincing myself that he'd be coming home safe soon. I didn't connect the way she cried in the hall or sat on my bed and yowled with worry for Keegan. I didn't quite realize that she was coming to me for more attention than ever because she was lonely.
Honestly, I relished the attention and was happy to give her all the love she wanted. She patiently sat with me while I cried, and I failed for almost two weeks to realize how much she was suffering.
It dawned on me bit by bit, and I started wondering what I should do about it.
Then, on Saturday, I had one hell of a dream. Someone's cat died, and they carried it out of the vet's and just dumped it by the side of the road. I was walking by, saw the sad little body, and gathered it up to...I don't know. It made sense at the time, like anything in a dream does.
This cat was an orange tabby calico, and when I picked it up, it came back to life. I immediately rushed it into the vet, which looked like no vet's office I've ever seen, and the people inside expressed surprise about the now living cat that they'd just sent out with its owner to bury. My response? "I have no idea what you're talking about. This is my cat...Symphony. So...how did this other cat die? And can we make sure that doesn't happen to this cat?"
I woke up on Sunday with a vaguely urgent feeling, like there was this cat that needed me. Remy still wasn't doing terribly well. She was eating and drinking, but not much. She wasn't losing weight yet, but I was getting worried about my girl.
I had to go to PetsMart to get Remy more food, so I stopped to look at the adoptable kitties just out of curiosity. No orange calico tabbies. Just as well. The idea of a new kitten made my eyes tear up.
But there was one who drew my eye. She reached through the bars to grab my fingers, but didn't use claws. She just pulled me close, and she walked back and forth to be petted. She purred and meowed at me. I made myself look at the other kittens, and while they were lovely and adorable, that one kept drawing my attention.
I left the adoption area to pick up the cat food, and almost paid for it and walked out. But I stopped and asked if there was someone who could unlock one of the cages and let me meet a couple of the kittens.
The one I was looking at had a sister who was admittedly prettier than her. Prettier and more psychotic. When the sister was lifted to see the other kittens, she growled and struck at them, then remained agitated, even clawing the poor girl in the face. The one I was looking at, however, growled a little when presented with the kittens, but then nestled into my arms and played with a little black kitten from the next cage over without a protest.
She came home with me, and I named her Symphony, for the cat in my dream. She immediately knew that was her name.
She's part Siamese, part ragdoll. When I brought her into the house, Remy came up to sniff at the box, and didn't even bat an eye when the box meowed. They sniffed noses though the holes in the box, and when I left Symphony out to see her new home, Remy only kept a close eye on her.
When Symphony got too close, Remy growled or hissed, but never made a move at the new baby. Symphony backed down immediately during every non-confrontation, and now they're pausing to sniff at each other, and Symphony is trying hard to convince Remy to play with her.
Remy no longer paces the house crying. She's eating well again, and she's gone back to being her old self. I sort of miss the Remy who wanted lots of affection from me, but if this means she's happier, then I'm definitely happy.
Symphony loves to be petted and get attention. She adores being held, and she follows me to bed every night to curl up beside me. When she plays, she doesn't use her claws, though she loves to chew on my fingers, which I'm having to discourage. She loves Itzl, the other dog, and plays with the puppy we're fostering.
She's fit into the family smoothly and perfectly. And her markings aren't orange tabby calico, but she is sort of pale brown/grey calico.
My heart is still bleeding over Shika, and I don't know if I'll ever really stop hurting over losing my Keegan. Remy still searches for him, even though she's much happier now. There are holes where Keegan and Shika belong, but Symphony has found her own special place here.

5 Best Slick Bike Tires
The 5 best slick bike tires are bicycle tires that have absolutely no tread on them. The types of bicycles that you will find make use of this kind of tire are the ones that are used for street riding or racing. The thinking behind slick bike tires is that they don't require a tread pattern because aquaplaning is not really a problem for bicycles on the street.
- Schwalbe Kojak HS 385 Slick Road Bike Tire. Made to give you both performance as well as durability, Schwalbe's Kojak slick bike tire features a RaceGuard protection belt which allows you to ride your bicycle on the streets without worrying about its traction, as well as with the knowledge that it won't come apart even during the most strenuous riding. While that alone assures it the number one spot, it also is shaped in a wire beaded style.
- Kenda K838 Slick Wire Bead Bicycle Tire. Featuring deep siping and a flared top section, this slick bike tire from Kenda includes features of both Blackwell as well as wire bead. It takes the number two spot because attaching it to your mountain bike will let you intensify your rolling efficiency while at the same time letting you take corners in the smoothest of ways.
- Schwalbe Super Moto HS 338 Slick Mountain Bike Tire. Only at number three because it is an uncommonly pricey slick bike tire, Schwalbe's Super Moto HS 338 is a slick bike tire that features Speed Grip and carcass compound. This tire really hugs the street surface effectively and provides you with a ride that is super-smooth and full of good support. It is a good choice if you want a slick bike tire that adjusts well to your mountain bike.
- Ritchey Tom Slick Pro Mountain Bicycle Tire. This slick bike tire by Ritchey is the kind of tire you want attached to your bike if you have a lot of commuting to do. It features channeled sides for all-condition grip, weighs only 250 grams, and optimal traction. It takes the four spot because it is made for minimum rolling resistance.
- Chen Shin C1096 Semi Slick XC Bicycle Tire. Chen Shin's slick bike tire features a center ridge that is super wide and thick, which should help you get great support and traction while riding. However, it is priced so cheaply that it just doesn't have the more extensive features of other brands. If value is what you want, though, give this brand of slick bike tire a try.

Been a fan of her music for years. It must have taken a lot of guts to open up about being rape not once but twice by individuals that she trusted.
In her own words she was raped twice, at 19 and again at 19 by her then boyfriend. Her elevation was made via her Facebook page. Read here story here.
"I held back from looking up the #lifeinleggings posts because I knew what reading them would reduce me to. One tiny glimpse and all the screams start echoing in my head. I was first raped at age 17 by someone many of you glorify. I watch you call him a good man, and I hear you demonize me for "talking about rape too much". I didn't report it because I knew EXACTLY what you all would say. Why would HE rape me? He was popular and I was a nobody then, plus he had proclaimed himself my 'big brother' and when I was told I was too young to be hanging out at studios HE came and reassured my big sister I would be safe. How could I brave the judgment from admitting I was so wrong?
Second rape age 19 by my 'boyfriend' and his friends. A friend was visiting from abroad so he said let's go hail him up before heading to the fisherman's regatta in Port Maria. I didn't see any harm in it. We went to one friend's home. His dad was a policeman so that house gelt safe. When it happened I didn't report it. Who the fuck would I report it to? After being released from the house I came across a sound system operator I knew and he asked why I was alone and what's wrong. I broke down in tears and relayed what had happened he said he was taking me to the police. I was horrified and said no. His response was aarite I guess you did like it! He cursed me for not wanting to report it and that's when I started going numb. A mentor who was a 'bad man' said I should show him the boys cause 'dem fi dead'. I said I didn't want that kind of karma, and he chased me away saying obviously I wanted it to happen or I wouldn't be begging for them. For a few years I kept trying to win the approval of people who made me feel dirty. I even 'dated' one of my rapists, went back to the SAME HOUSE I got raped in. I just wanted to feel clean again, hear him say he didn't think any less of me. I couldn't even understand why the fuck I would do that! I had zero self esteem.
Every time someone laughed on the road I swore they were laughing at me. Sometimes they were. Women were the cruellest! "See di gyal deh weh dem battery a Frontier!" Was one animated identification as a girl my age excitedly pointed me out to another. Noses turned up. Even the 'crew' I used to be in singing at local dances informed me I was no longer welcome on the corner. A kind gentleman offered me a 'safe haven' to get away and heal. I figured what the fuck do I have to lose? So I went. He was VERY helpful. Taught me to cook a bit, helped me to feel a little stronger. When he initiated intimacy I couldn't even bother to fight. I adapted 'avoid rape, say yes' as my mantra and screwed my way through the pain. MANY times I attempted to tell family members. COUNTLESS. EVERYBODY had up a block. When I heard them call another girl whore I would write them off. When I heard negative comments about OTHER rape victims I wrote them off. When I heard righteous rants about morality I wrote them off. When I heard descrimination of ANY sort I wrote them off. I saw them smile with a pedophile and discuss him behind his back but NEVER confront him so i wrote them all off. When I saw males treat women like shit physically, emotionally, mentally... I wrote them off. After one visit to a local psychiatrist and he smirked and said "Tanya Stephens! I have to take a closer listen to your music now man!" I quit seeking help in Jamaica and took my therapy on the run in other countries. Sweden was my biggest healer. I know I still have far to go.
The Bill Cosby conversations I watched unfolding on social media fucked me up. I watched people who claimed to be 'good' call those women whores and gold diggers because they didn't have the strength or courage to speak immediately and I thought about my own inability to talk about a local counterpart of miniscule relevance and I cried for every woman you muzzle. For every woman not strong enough to say FUCK YOU, you monster. For everybody on your walls and timelines and newsfeeds that you killed everytime you posted I hated you guys. Now i just sympathise. Your ignorance and apathy can NOT be much more comfortable than our pain! I'm 43 now and a LOT has happened, thankfully mostly VERY good things but the road to now is full of scars and calluses. It's been 26 years. It STILL hurts. Big up my husband, best therapist to date.
Hopefully her story will help encourage someone who is in the same possession understand that they are not alone.

Halo Wars 2's campaign will be the perfect chance for new players to jump into the franchise, according to 343 Industries' studio head.
I was pretty excited when I found out Halo Wars 2 would be playable at X16.
One of the gems at X16 was roguelike action platformer Flinthook.
It's been a long time since I've delved into the world of zombie mayhem, but with a steady mix of the undead and Christmas, Dead Rising 4 is sure to be the game that brings me back.

Well, I've never expected onTerminate to be useful, but subclassing
Application is.
The Application's onCreate() method (and any static and instance
initializers) are called before ANY application component is created
or loaded.
There's no other way to make this guaranty that I am aware of. You can
come close if you put a reference to a singleton in every single
component, and remember to always do so. But that's not a good
approach -- it violates once-and-only-once. And if you're using third-
party code as part of your app, it may not be possible. Although,
admittedly, such code reuse is rare and problematic on Android, so
it's nearly always possible.
But why campaign against Application? It's a perfectly fine singleton
itself, it's just misunderstood. Fix the documentation. Deprecate
onTerminate. Suggest to people that their modularity would benefit if
they group related statics into their own singleton, and their memory
use might even improve if they then reference this singleton only
where it's needed.
- Dianne Hackborn <firstname.lastname@example.com> Oct 31 08:47PM -0700 ^
> party code as part of your app, it may not be possible. Although,

Hm, so when do you need to just have code start running in your process
first thing? Generally it needs to run for something else -- and that
something else needs to make a call somewhere to get what it wants. Having
that call Singleton.getInstance(context) (at which point you can do init for
the first call) isn't any harder that ((Singleton)context.getApplication()),
and it has some significant benefits:
- Does lazy initialization so that you don't end up doing more stuff than
needed when launching the process (important for first launch speed, and if
you do things like receive broadcasts in the background).
- Avoids Application is basically a big global. This also is far better for
third party code, since if that code wants to have some global state it
would be a pain to require modifying Application or having the app call into
the library to init it.
I don't understand your comment about violating once-and-only-once -- the
whole point of a singleton is that it is one instance that is initialized
the first time it is needed. There isn't actually any extra code you need
to write to have it initialized, because by definition there is something
there your other code needs, so the initialization can happen as a
side-effect of getting access to it.
> they group related statics into their own singleton, and their memory

I will fix the documentation. But conceptually, it just doesn't match with
how you should be thinking about designing your app.

I may know more about magnetic compasses than some of the engineers
putting them in devices...but of course, I don't know what those
engineers are doing. But let me try to address the question in general
terms anyway.
Consider that traditionally, huge iron ships could use magnetic
compasses with fair accuracy. How did they do this? Well, you may have
seen pictures of a ship's compass, with two big iron balls on either
side of it? The purpose of those balls is to allow the local magnetic
field to be "flattened", so the effect of all that iron, much of it
magnetized by arc welding, would be balanced out and made more uniform
in all directions. They are placed side-by-side, to compensate for the
fore-and-aft alignment of the ship, and independently adjustable for
compasses not on the ship's centerline.
Then once the field was flattened, the compass would be calibrated by
a specialist. As best I recall the procedure, the ship would be run
back and forth in calm waters on each heading, and the discrepancies
recorded, to be applied to headings and bearings taken using the
The ship's compass is filled with a fluid, with vanes attached below,
to provide damping and to keep it level.
All of this could better be done electronically, in software, working
from the raw sensor data.
But, of course nobody actually calibrates a phone this way. The
manufacturer's could, but I seriously doubt they do. But I don't think
there's any real reason for them to do so -- because how accurately
can you judge the orientation of your phone relative to your heading?
And without the little pin in the middle for you to sight against the
distant object, how well can you peer over your phone and just the
bearing of the distant object?
I expect that details like this outweigh any sensor accuracy issues.
As for batteries -- those should have no effect. They generally won't
have ferrous metals. The currents involved are small -- and so long as
they are relatively constant, on a reasonable timescale, at most
they'd be something that could be taken care of in the calibration
process, were there such a process.
But I wouldn't be surprised to see something like a camera flash LED
being lit, or the battery being charged, making a noticeable
difference. That could also be addressed in software, but could also
be addressed by carefully separating the sensor from the LED current.
The bottom line is, that while I think phones could be quite accurate,
I see no advantage in doing so, because if you need that kind of
accuracy, you will be better served by a compass with a physical
package designed for the purpose. These days, many of those are
electronic using the same technologies as are found in the phone. You
can get them built into binoculars, even.

Thanks for the reply.. I am trying to do what you said.
I defined a string:
<string name= "support_request">Support Request: <a href="
In my .java code, I created a textview and called the setMovementmethod like
TextView emailLink;
emailLink = (TextView) this.findViewById(R.id.support_request);
I am getting the error below when I run the app and click on the email text:
11-01 02:44:42.431: ERROR/AndroidRuntime(1870):
android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: No Activity found to handle

I think I am missing something in the manifest file. I am not sure what I
need to fill there. Whar do I enter in the data field in the intent filter?
Here is my intent filter I have defined in the corresponding activity:
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
<data android:scheme="http" android:email@example.com"/>
I think I am doing something wrong here.
Please Help.

No, assuming he doesn't get an error even earlier, I'm sure he gets a
ClassCastException on that line. That happens before it even checks
for the method. NoSuchMethodException is somewhat more esoteric
The advice he actually needs is beyond the scope of this group. But
I'll sum it up:
"Learn to use the debugger". Running it under the debugger, set up to
stop on RuntimeException and Error, would leave it stopped at the
problem line, with a ClassCastException on the stack, and thus neatly
answer your question for you, in far less time than it took to ask
this group. And that skill will pay off many times a day.
- acr <firstname.lastname@example.com> Oct 31 06:58PM -0700 ^
Thanks for the reply Miguel, Im positive I went through all of the
lines just to double check.
its getting the incorrect coordinates from the initial values of x and
y where graphic.getGridCoordinates().setGrid1Y(y) sets to.
but when I print lines via logcat to show the current
getGridCoordinates().setGrid1Y(y) they show correct coordinates when I
add the graphic but only the second graphic draws to the correct
coordinates. I feel like I tried everything and keep going in circles.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has hit the airwaves in Florida, Montana, New Mexico, Ohio and Wisconsin with television ads targeting Democratic Senate candidates.
The chamber is also targeting independent Senate candidate former Gov. Angus King in Maine. The ads criticize the candidates on a range of issues, including support for the Affordable Care Act, proposals to increase taxes and votes on energy issues.
"With so much at stake in this election, the Chamber will continue to execute the largest voter education campaign in our history," chamber President and CEO Thomas Donohue said in a statement. "We will support candidates who will fight for free enterprise and oppose those who consistently support more government and stand in the way of economic growth and job creation."
Independent expenditure reports filed with the Federal Election Commission show that the chamber spent more than $5.3 million on ad buys and production costs for the series of spots. The group typically spends heavily to defeat Democratic candidates.
The chamber vowed to continue its efforts into the coming months in a press release. http://youtu.be/l9ytFCLiQ4s

Campaign Song and Chorus, 1876.Historic American SheetMusic, 1850-1920
The aftermath of any war is difficult for the survivors. Those difficulties are usually even worse after a civil war. Such was certainly the case in the period after the American Civil War.
With several notable exceptions, most of the fighting during the Civil War took place in the South. As a result, most of the devastation of the war affected the South and its people to a much greater extent than people in the North. In addition, portions of the South were occupied by Federal armies from virtually the very beginning of the war. Over time, Union forces occupied more and more Southern territory and governed those places as well.
Reconstruction was a period of political crisis and considerable violence. Most white Southerners envisioned a quick reunion in which white supremacy would remain intact in the South. In this vision, African Americans, while in some sense free, would have few civil rights and no voice in government. Many Northerners including President Andrew Johnson, who succeeded to office after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, shared these views. On the other hand, both black Southerners and the majority of Northern Republicans thought that before the Southern states were restored to their place in the Union, the federal government must secure the basic rights of former slaves.
In civil rights legislation and the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution, the Republican Congress wrote this policy into law. They were attempting, for the first time in history, to create a truly interracial democracy. Faced with violent opposition in the South and a retreat from the ideal of racial equality in the North, Reconstruction proved short-lived. It would take another century for the nation to begin to live up to this era's promise of equality for all its citizens.
Additional primary sources regarding the Reconstruction era are available in American Memory. To retrieve them, use such key words as reconstruction, Civil War, freedmen, or consult the American Life Histories, 1936-1940, interviews for the Southern states.

The Advantages of Using Hydroponics
What is Hydroponics?
Hydroponics is a stunning strategy by which plants are developed with the assistance of falsely made supplement arrangement, into water, without soil. This development methodology does not require the utilization of soil or water, getting an altering change to the customary method of development. This strategy has turned out to be exceedingly helpful and extremely savvy, acquiring a down to earth answer for higher yields.
There are two primary sorts of hydroponics arrangements in particular:
-Arrangement Culture
-Medium Culture
The arrangement culture does not utilize a strong medium like soil for the plants, yet simply the supplement arrangement made misleadingly. Arrangement culture has been subdivided into three primary classes which are:
-Static arrangement culture
-Ceaseless stream arrangement
Static Solution Culture
Static arrangement culture is a technique by which plants are full-developed in repositories loaded with a misleadingly made supplement arrangement. Holders can be plastic containers, bricklayer jugs, tanks, tubs et cetera. Holders are for the most part made out of plastic; however different materials can likewise be utilized. The arrangement utilized ought to be circulated air through yet can likewise be left unaerated. If ever the arrangement is kept circulated air through, at that point it is kept at a low level with the goal that the underlying foundations of the plant can get adequate oxygen to relax. An opening is cut into the overflow of the holder for each plant to turn out. A solitary holder can suit various plants, gave the compartment is sufficiently substantial as indicated by the development size of the plant. Read
more info
, click here.
In the event that this strategy is being carried on at home then the technique can be carried on in plastic food cans or glass jars with air circulation provided by an ordinary aquarium carrier tube, an aquarium pump or an aquarium valve. Holders ought to be secured using butcher paper, thick dark plastic, other aluminum foils or some other material that can keep away light which can keep the development of green growth. For more useful reference, have a peek here
Hydroponics has dependably been considered as a standout among the best contrasting option to conventional way of cultivating, and the quick increment of this strategy has gotten significant returns from nations worldwide. This strategy enables the basic group to adjust this innovation in their homes or private properties. A strategy like this dependably acquires higher points of interest like the end of soil and the cost of water and supplements. A control technique like this will continually acquire more nourishment in plants and cause less wellbeing perils caused by pesticides and different chemicals. Please view this site
for further details.
