How 33 Famous New Yorkers Use Their Phones
We asked.
In the latest issue, we took a comprehensive survey of how New Yorkers use their devices — which iPhone games they obsess over, how often they check their email, where they expend their social-media energy.
In addition, we asked a lot of well-known New Yorkers (and a few famous non–New Yorkers) more intimate questions about how they arrange their digital lives. Here's what they said.
Which apps do you have on your phone?
Spike Lee (director): "I'm on social media. I use Instagram, Twitter, Facebook."
Jenny Slate (actress, comedian): "I have one of the iPhones that won't let me take any more pictures. So really I just have Twitter and Instagram."
Judah Friedlander (actor): "For someone my age, it's way too many. But well, I'll tell you, these young kids, they need more apps because they can't do anything by themselves. They're absolutely helpless individuals."
Rachel Antonoff (designer): "Well, I definitely have Instagram and Twitter. Bark Buddy is my favorite app. It's Tinder, but for adoptable dogs."
Jason Collins (center, Brooklyn Nets): "I'd be lost without Google Maps and Waze. As far as gaming apps, I play dominoes. There's a dominoes app, and I play it with a lot of my teammates in the NBA. A couple of my teammates in the Nets, and also the Atlanta Hawks, and Washington Wizards. We have a longstanding dominoes game going."
Damon Lindelof (creator, Lost): "Well, you know, I've been 'Yo'ing, as everyone else has, too. And it'll either be the next big thing, or it'll be over in a week. I'm still prone to this 2048 game, and I just got to 4096, which was like sort of a massive accomplishment in the grand scheme of my life."
David Byrne (lead singer, Talking Heads): "I use Maps all the time, all the time. Today I used the Citi Bike app to see where the stations are. What else? I use the Zipcar app."
Jonathan Ames (writer): "I don't know how to download [apps]. But I have a phone. I think it has apps, but I didn't put them on."
Ben Smith (editor-in-chief, BuzzFeed): "Twitter is the best app for breaking news, in all its messy glory. My family and I may be the last ones using Path, but I love it for kid pictures that only blood relatives could possibly care about. Facebook for much of what's in between. WhatsApp for communicating with Jonah Peretti, Shani Hilton, Ashley McCollum, and a couple other BuzzFeed types. I tried to get my kids on Kik, but it didn't really take. Gmail, of course. For not communicating: Rdio, BuzzFeed, New York Times, Uber, Waze. The only game I occasionally play is Badland."
Morgan James (singer, actress): "My top five apps are Voxer, Shazam, Etsy — oh my God, it's embarrassing. I'm, like, knitting. Starbucks, because I'm gonna be on the Starbucks playlist for August. And I love TripCase for all my travel."
Nico Muhly (composer): "New York Times, Uber, the Offender Locator (location-based sex-offender registry!), Tripit, Seamless."
Ashanti (singer): "Google Maps, Waze, and I just got a new one that's really good, Eat. It's an app that basically, you put in your location and it puts in all the top restaurants that you can go to or get delivered. It's called Eat, E-A-T, it's a red logo, and I just got it like two weeks ago and I looooooove it."
apl.de.ap (member, Black Eyed Peas): "My favorite right now is Instagram and Vine. I love Vine because you can create something special in 15 seconds. That's a challenge, and you've got to make it funny, and people've got to like it. It's like the new TV for me."
Kevin Hart (comedian): "I'm a social-media freak. I love the fact that I have a direct connection with my fan base. I love the fact that I can get their reactions, that people can see me and give feedback on what I felt. That being said, I love Twitter, I love Instagram, I love Facebook, I love Vine. I love the fact that if I can't have a personal trainer all the time, I can use the Pump It Up app, or the Men's Health Fitness app."
Coco Austin (actress, web personality): [My app] just came out recently. It's called Coco's Workout World, and you can get it on iTunes. It's not just the mandatory, like, let's do aerobics. Like, I teach you how to twerk."
Do you have a guilty pleasure app?
Chris Hayes (host, MSNBC's All In With Chris Hayes): "The one thing is my friend's ridiculous and ridiculously addictive game Make It Rain, which is kind of like the iPhone software's commentary on the utility of capitalism. You literally — the entire game is swiping at bills. I've sort of stopped, because it's ludicrous. It's highly addictive. At a certain point, I was doing it on the subway and realized someone was gonna recognize me. I look like an idiot."
Do you use emoji?
Isaac Mizrahi (fashion designer): "I do! I live for emojis! I live and die for emojis. I love them."
Andrew Sullivan (blogger): "NO."
What's your favorite emoji?
Nico Muhly: I am rather partial to the turd.
Jenna Wortham (New York Times tech writer): "That changes on a per-hour basis! Right now, I'm really into the peach emoji as a way to say 'cool' or 'that's peachy' or 'yr a peach.'"
Jason Collins: "It's a smiley face, but it's the one where the guy is giving a little bit of side-eye action."
Dan Porter (head of digital, WME/IMG; creator, Draw Something): "Fist-bump and thumbs-up."
Tatyana Ali (actress, singer): "It's like one of the original emojis, but it's this little girl's yellow face with braids that are twisted kind of like Pippi Longstocking, and she's like, 'Bing!'"
How do you get most of your news?
Jenny Slate: "I listen to the radio in my car, and in the morning I get up and I put on Morning Edition. So that's really it. And then, yeah, I don't really read. I get the New York Times to my email every morning, so I click on that."
Bill Maher (HBO host, comedian): "I certainly hope that nobody gets their news from Twitter. That would be a shame. Not a lot of news you can fit into ... try to explain what's going on in Iraq right now in 140 characters."
Evan Sharp (co-founder, Pinterest): "I get my world news from the New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. I get work (technology) news from friends in the office or on Facebook."
Jason Binn (publisher, DuJour magazine): "The Wall Street Journal or Variety, when its entertainment, or Business Insider. I think all the major news outlets are all trying to keep up with the BuzzFeeds."
Pete Wentz (bassist, Fall Out Boy): "I like real-time on Twitter. Other than that, I'll do CNN breaking news on the internet."
Do you take self-imposed tech breaks?
Matt McGorry (actor, Orange Is the New Black): "I used to. But it's been a while. I find myself checking it — the first thing I do every morning. I need to develop a better system. I haven't had to go into any support groups yet, but I may need to look into it in the future as the fan base grows."
Jonathan Ames: "I once took a train in Europe. I had no phone, no computer; it was wonderful."
Evan Sharp: "Yes, I do my best to avoid the internet on the weekends, unless I'm working. My wife and I also seek out weekend trips in California where there isn't any cellular reception, so our brains can reset!"
Jenna Wortham: "It's actually very easy for me to take a break from technology. I do a lot of hot yoga, go on long runs, spend a day reading outside. I never miss it."
Are you an active Twitter user? How many people do you follow? Why do you follow them?
Nico Muhly: "I follow 1,168 people, many of whom are muted. The ones I like the best are clergymen and women, musicians (particularly opera people who seem to be constantly posting under duress), activists (who fight one another), and some crazy French grad students; I don't know how they got on there."
Bill Maher: "I follow some people, but I never read my Twitter. My fans know that, and they've accepted that in me."
How connected to your phone are you?
Chris Hayes: "Totally tethered. I mean, all the time. All the time, all the time, all the time. I would say the only time I'm sort of away from the phone, which is intentionally, is when I'm home in the morning with my kids and my wife. I very intentionally try to leave it in another room."
Matt McGorry: "When it gets closer to the show coming out, it gets a little obsessive. I find myself in conversations with people and think, that would be a great tweet, and write it down later. I try to limit my time, and in the future, [I hope to] do that in a more objective way in increments. At some point you can't respond to every person and read everything."
How do you use Facebook?
Chris Hayes: "My own personal presence is, I would say, less newsy and more like, 'Here are my adorable kids.' But I find links on Facebook too."
Andrew Sullivan: "I'm not on Facebook."
How do you feel about voice mail?
Olivia Wilde (actress): "No! Don't ever leave me a voice mail. You're better off sending me a carrier pigeon. I'll never hear it."
Pete Wentz: "I don't leave voice mails because I don't check them."
Mike Birbiglia (comedian): "I miss the age-old tradition of talking. That's one of the sad casualties of modern life. You'll text someone for 20 minutes and then at the end of it you'll feel so cold. You're like, 'Oh, this could have been special, we could have spoken like humans, but we didn't.'"
Do you use Pinterest? Instagram? Who are the best people to follow?
Evan Sharp: "I use Pinterest to bookmark interesting things I find on the web. I also use it to plan projects in my life, personal and professional both. I use Instagram to share photos I've taken and see what friends are up to."
Andrew Sullivan: "Just a few close friends and [my] husband."
Dan Porter: I mostly use [Instagram] to follow people who are really good at Instagram. That's an art. Diplo is a master of it. @NowThisNews is great, [as is] @Thefatjewish. They are so good at Instagram as a medium."
Romany Malco (actor): "I got so much shit the other day for following Big Booty Girls on Instagram, but I'm telling y'all right now, those are fitness people. I follow fitness girls … okay, maybe a couple of Big Booty Girls. But for the most part … okay, I'll just go down my timeline. [Flicks through photos of women.] Like, an inspiration to me is, her name is Lauren … Strength Project. Follow Strength Project! You just … you don't think that humans can do the stuff that they do."
Is there one app that you wish someone would come up with?
Jason Binn: "It would be kind of nice to have an app that did all the work for you that you didn't want to do. Like, your own robotic butler that went around the city."
Dan Porter: "An app that managed everything school-related. I get so much disparate web-based information from my kids' schools about homework, grades, and teacher communication."
Damon Lindelof: "The app that needs to exist is a 24-hour mechanic app. Because it always feels like your car is having trouble at 8 p.m. on a Sunday, or like 1 a.m., and you can't even get your car assessed until the morning — like, you have to leave it. And in this world where 24/7 you can get anything 24 hours a day, why isn't there somebody who can fix my car?"
Kim Cattrall (actress): "I'd love to have somebody that I work with or who assists me that they would be that conscientious on things that I've ordered, or done, liked or disliked — a smart assistant app."
Ice-T (rapper, actor): "We need an app where you can just reach through and grab a hater right through the phone."
Niecy Nash (actress): You know, I need a mobile hair-braider. Because my daughters wear braids, and I need an app to say, 'Can I just make an appointment and you show up?'"
Romany Malco: "So my idea for the app would be called something like Lost & Found, that would be a great name for it. And what it would do is it would be this app where you get these tabs and you can stick them in your bag, you can stick 'em in your phone, wherever. And whenever you get within a certain amount of feet from your items, your phone buzzes. Like, 'Yo!' so you don't lose stuff."
Were we better off before smartphones?
Isaac Mizrahi: "I think we were better off, yes, I do. I think we're safer and quicker with the fabulous smartphones, but I felt that life had a different pace, more of like a sort of pace where I could notice things more. I don't notice what's right in front of me anymore. But it could be age."
Olivia Wilde: "Well, in terms of encouraging young people to be creative, the iPhone is allowing us to document at such an extraordinary rate that it's kind of bringing out the inner artist in all of us. I mean, whether it's … you know, Camera Plus. Even Instagram! Everybody's on Instagram. Even people playing with filters are feeling like they're bringing out their own inner artist."
James Brolin (actor): "It's a dichotomy for me. [My phone] is a black hole, but it's a bottomless pit of information — some true, not so true — so I get to decide what I think. For instance, if I needed an antibiotic, I can go on there and see the good side and the bad side and try and balance and then call my doctor and say, 'I ain't taking it. I'm just gonna drink green juice.'"
Chris Hayes: "Oh, it's better in the iPhone era. Because you are much more connected to people. I've just learned a lot that I wouldn't have learned. Look, there are benefits and costs, and there are costs to the constant connectedness. But I think the benefits outweigh the costs."
Bill Maher: "Well, life wasn't necessarily better. I love my iPhone and all the things it can do and how convenient it is, and I love texting. That was a huge improvement. And I do like Twitter. I like tweeting out and feeling connected that way, but [need to] learn to just have it and not be owned by it. They asked Groucho Marx one time about somebody [who] had nine kids, and he said, 'I like a cigar too, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while.' You know. Put the phone down once in a while."

Hi there,
What a great plug in, suits my needs perfectly.
I have one small issue though, the text of the post isn't displaying properly. It's too high and it's being pushed out to the right by the title.
It looks like it needs a few extra line breaks there to push it down next to the photo. (The photo is slightly below the text and only starts affecting the text in the 3rd line).
You can see an example on http://www.earthjanitor.com
EDIT: Just figured it out
In the CSS for the plugin, go down to
#rps .col p.slider-content-both{ and add a line at the bottom
I had to fiddle with the exact margin size, in the end 40px worked for me.
Hope this helps someone else.

I recently interviewed Denny Lee from the SQL Customer Advisory Team about applying data mining to medical research which you can see a video of on Channel 8. I asked Denny about other areas of academic research where data mining could be applied. I gave this question some thought on my own and one interesting area could be in genetic algorithm (GA) research.
My advisor for my Computer Science degree was, Dr. Jeff Horn, whose main area of research was GA. I am by no means an expert on the topic, but I had the opportunity to work a bit with the technology. GA's are generally used to find "best fit" solutions to NP-complete problems in which it is "impossible" to test every combination of solution so a method for finding a best fit solution is needed.
GA's use a paradigm based on evolutionary biology where solution sets combine, crossover, mutate, etc. The goal is to find a solution with the best "fitness". The GA's we were using 10 years ago were passed a number of different startup parameters that affected the number of generations, chance of mutation and crossover, etc. Depending on the problem set we would see the GA runs come up with varying solutions in terms of fitness.
Now you may be asking yourself "What about data mining?"
We would run these GA's over and over and over logging and analyzing the results. My suggestion would be to store the startup parameters and results of the runs or the performance of each generation into a data warehouse. An example of the types of questions you could use data mining classification for are:
· What are the clusters of ranges of startup parameters that provide the highest fitness?
· Is the algorithm generating clusters of solutions? What are they and why are they being caused?
Although the questions above are only scratching the surface, I think researchers who live and breathe this stuff could really benefit from the power of data mining tools to complement their research, tune the algorithms, etc.
Do any readers out there have more ideas how data mining could be applied in academia?

More Sober Approach Is Needed to Illinois Budget
Gov. Rod Blagojevich has taken some heat--and quite rightly so--for a smoke-and-mirrors FY 2006 state budget that will put huge burdens on future taxpayers--and lawmakers.
But too many of the governor's critics have focused on the revenue side of the budget, criticizing Blagojevich's campaign promise not to raise state income or sales taxes. From the perspectives of both politics and policy, that was one of the few good promises the governor has made and kept.
The problem in Illinois is not too little revenue. The problem is too much spending.
In 1998 Illinois' total budget was about $38 billion. The FY 2006 budget, passed less than two weeks ago, is $54.4 billion. Or maybe $55 billion. Or maybe $58 billion. All three of those estimates were made by the governor and lawmakers after passing the budget at the end of May. So much pork spending was promised in last-minute backroom deals that no one knew exactly what had been promised or how much it will cost.
Giving lawmakers the benefit of the doubt, let's go with the low estimate of $54.4 billion. That's $16.4 billion more than in 1998--a nearly 50 percent increase in spending. From FY 2002 to FY 2005, Illinois increased state spending by 31 percent, according to the National Association of State Budget Officers. The FY 2006 budget continues that surge.
State spending is growing several times faster than inflation, the state's economy, and family income.
The FY 2006 budget sends more money to public schools and other things that are high priorities for a large number of Illinoisans. But those priorities have been getting budget increases for decades ... and there is little evidence we are getting anything close to our money's worth. Worse still, the state is spending billions of dollars on things that are low priorities, or no priority at all, for most citizens.
Illinois has the weakest job growth of any state in this region, and a major factor is the state's relatively hostile business climate. Hundreds of business tax and fee increases have been levied by the Blagojevich administration, hoping to stay under the radar screen of tax-weary voters. The previous governor, Republican George Ryan, did the same.
In 2004, Illinois ranked 46th in the nation on the "U.S. Economic Freedom Index," a measure based on taxes and regulations produced by the Pacific Research Institute.
Some lawmakers contend Illinois is a low-tax state, but that is false. The Illinois Policy Institute last year analyzed the combined state, local, and federal tax burdens and determined Illinois residents have the 14th highest total tax burden in the nation. Also in 2004, the Tax Foundation, a national tax watchdog group, ranked Illinois as having the 13th highest tax burden after factoring in the federal tax bite.
Higher income taxes are always touted as the solution to the state's chronic budget problems, including when Gov. Jim Edgar turned a "temporary" income tax surcharge into a permanent tax hike. That tax hike and hundreds of other fee and tax hikes passed since then have not kept Illinois lawmakers from raiding teachers' pension funds and complaining about having t make "cuts."
The irony here is that Gov. Blagojevich identified the problem shortly after taking office in 2003, when he complained Illinois lawmakers spend money "like drunken sailors."
Until lawmakers and the governor take a far more sober approach to their job, no amount of tax increases will put the state on firmer financial footing.
Steve Stanek (firstname.lastname@example.com) is the author of Heartland Policy Study No. 107, "Illinois' Public Pension Crisis," released on May 24, 2005. He is also managing editor of a monthly publication addressing budget and tax policy issues across the country.

* RUSH. 9 tonight, USA.
* SATISFACTION. 10 tonight, USA.
* MARRIED. 10 tonight, FX.
* YOU'RE THE WORST. 10:30 tonight, FX.
THE STATE of marriage in Hollywood must be even sadder than it looks from the supermarket checkout line.
The institution takes a beating in two new series on different networks tonight, USA's "Satisfaction" and FX's "Married."
Meanwhile, two other new series - FX's "You're the Worst," and USA's "Rush" - deal with the only slightly less depressing dysfunctions of single people.
It's enough to make me long for the simpler pleasures of "NY Med" (10 tonight, 6ABC), where the patients may be sick, but are at least surrounded by people trying to help.

Hey there,
It seems AdRotate is causing an issue when logging into WordPress via the iOS app. To be specific - a 500 error.
I've narrowed it down to AdRotate causing the issue by deactivating it, and thus allowing me to log in fine.
Is anyone else having this issue and know a fix?

I have a few different sets of Shas Bavli, and most of them contain Shekalim from the Yerushalmi. (The Steinsaltz version does not, for example, though the Oz v'Hadar version does). When did people first start including it, and why? Is there something special about the content of Shekalim in the Yerushalmi, such that people wanted to include it in the Bavli, despite not including any other Yerushalmi masekhtot?
Mi Yodeya is a question and answer site for those who base their lives on Jewish law and tradition and anyone interested in learning more. Join them; it only takes a minute:

Sign up
Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
In a standard Shas, all the Masechtot are printed, even those without Bavli on them.
For example, at the end of Vol. 1 - Brachot - you will find all the Mishnayot of Zeraim with Rishonim (usually the ר"ש, IIRC).
At the end of Niddah you will find the rest of Taharot.
In Mo'ed the only tractate without Bavli is Shekalim - so it was added. As to why it was added with Yerushalmi and not the Rishonim like the other Bavli-less tractates, is open to discussion. Maybe it makes Mo'ed feel more complete that all tractates have some form of Talmud on them.
Or maybe we should ask why those tractates with Yerushalmi (like parts of Zeraim) were not printed with their Yerushalmi.

text: AdChoices Terms of Use Privacy Policy Hide TOP 10 Top 10 Sports Top 10: Tiger Woods Moments Share Tweet 0 Shares 8. 2000 U.S. Open Golf fans hoped the 100th playing of the U.S. Open would be memorable, and Woods didn't disappoint, turning in the most impressive performance in the history of any Major. Woods chewed up the field and cruised at Pebble Beach, and with a final score of -12, he was the only player to finish under par. His closest competitors, Ernie Els and Miguel Angel Jimenez, finished +3. Woods put in a masterful performance in all facets of his game; his driving was superb and his putting performance was perhaps the most clutch in the Open's history. Over the 72 holes, he made just 110 putts, or an average of 1.5 per hole. To this day, Woods' mastery at the 2000 U.S. Open is the largest margin of victory in a Major.

A comic book packed with gods fighting other gods, laden with sound effects such as âHUUMBLLD,â âMYOOONRRR,â and âBUGCRACK,â could only be made better if it were extra-sized. This comic is all that, hold the bag of chips.
The basic premise behind this story -- the âChaos Warâ event itself -- is that Amatsu-Mikaboshi, King Chaos, has chosen to strike out against the Marvel Universe, rendering it back into the nothingness that was once Mikaboshi. Thatâs right, when there was nothing, it was Amatsu-Mikaboshi. Then things happened (creationism, Big Bang, whatever) and Mikaboshi became less than he once was. Now he wants to return to what once was. Except Hercules has returned imbued with more power than he can control, let alone imagine. Herculesâ power is exponential from what he once knew and catches him so by surprise that he shatters the very ground he walks on.
This story has a kinship of some kind with âSecret Warsâ or, perhaps more correctly, âSecret Wars IIâ (except with less jumpsuit-wearing astonishingly-powered individuals) in that an omnipotence has challenged the heroes and threatens their very existence lest they rally against the unknown. Or maybe not. This story packs a lot into a single issue, but Van Lente and Pak temper the onslaught with humor, sometimes at Herculesâ expense or through subtleties like the outrageous sound effects produced when these gods clash.
Khoi Phamâs work he is quite unlike anything I have grown accustomed to expecting from Pham. The storytelling is still straight-forward and powered by heroism, but the finish on the figures is more like Leinil Yuâs work on âSuperman: Birthrightâ than it is like Khoi Phamâs work on âMighty Avengers.â Thatâs not necessarily a bad thing, as it demonstrates Phamâs ability to grow and change. The style is also fitting for the story, as the figures themselves seem less tangible and more ethereal. It is a perfectly suited change to match the change in powers, abilities, and perception from Hercules. Sunny Gho plays with the finish of the pages, giving the final piece a diluted watercolor appearance. Itâs not the most striking crossover story in recent history, but it is certainly distinctive from others of this era. My biggest gripe, however, is that Phamâs Mikaboshi isnât as visually striking as the character was drawn by Rafael Sandoval, but thatâs a minor quibble considering the vastness of the tale Pham is delivering in between the covers here.
The inside page lists the nineteen â yes nineteen! â books that contribute to the story of âChaos Warâ despite the fact that the main series itself is five issues. That seems excessive to me, especially given that a number of the supplemental titles are stretched over two and three issues. While I am tempted to ignore those pieces, a story that spawns âDead Avengers,â âGod Squad,â and âAlpha Flightâ specials canât be considered completely bad.
This is a romp through the Marvel Universe that promises to change things. It promises to deliver an exciting story. It promises to break new ground as King Chaos pits god against god, forcing new alliances and treatises to be enacted. It promises a great deal, and based on the first issue, it looks like âChaos Warâ will be delivering on a regular basis.

Research Institution:
Abstract78150B The catalytic reforming of diesel fuel in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) systems must overcome a number of challenging issues: (1) the deactivation of the catalyst by sintering and sulfur poising; (2) the requirement for a large fuel processing system as a result of high space velocity requirements; and (3) the lack of durability of the catalysts, which require frequent replacement due to "coking," the coverage of active sites by carbon. This project will use a non-catalytic plasma technology for the simultaneous reforming and hydrodesulfurization of diesel. The silent discharge (non-thermal) plasma technology is anticipated to result in compact, reliable, and cost effective diesel fuel processing for SOFC power generation systems. Phase I will develop a clear understanding of the plasma chemistry for diesel fuel reforming. Parametric tests of a model fuel will be conducted to study the effect of operating conditions on fuel conversion. The plasma reformer will be integrated into the SOFC system and computer simulations will be used to design a 1-5 kW APU power plant configuration. Commercial Applications and other Benefits as described by the awardee: The plasma reforming technology should simplify the fuel processing section for diesel and military logistic fuels in high-temperature-fuel-cell-power generation applications. The system should provide a means for fuel cells to power auxiliary power units on trucks as well as military vehicles using fuel feeds containing sulfur. This system could be used in a wide range of both military and civilian applications including auxiliary power units for overnight trucker sleeper cabs, recreational vehicles, ship service fuel cell system, and other remote power generation applications.

Miranda rights for terrorists?
Published: Thursday, June 25, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 at 9:35 p.m.
To The Editor: I received a letter responding to my letter in the Times-News about guerillas/terrorists. It asked what legal or moral grounds I had to justify executing these people who were accused, but not convicted, of any crime.
The writer ended his letter with a juvenile P.S.: Mutual friends have told me that you are so narrow-minded you can see through a keyhole with both eyes at the same time!
The insinuation is insulting, and if mutual friends said that, they are not friends. My friends do not like guerillas to be killing Americans, military or civilian, while mingling with non-combatants.
The media now reports that the Messiah (referred to as like God by one journalist) has ordered the FBI in Afghanistan to read Miranda rights to high-value terrorists. He equates these killers to thugs who rob liquor stores, not realizing these people have been at war with us for 30 years.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid wants quick deal on 'fiscal cliff' (+video)
J. Scott Applewhite, File, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The top Democrat in Congress called Wednesday for a quick solution to Washington's "fiscal cliff" in an upcoming post-election session of Congress.
At the same time, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said that asking wealthier people to pay higher taxes needs to be part of any solution to the government's budget woes.
The Nevada Democrat told reporters in Washington he's "not for kicking the can down the road" and that any solution should include higher taxes on "the richest of the rich."
The fiscal cliff refers to the one-two punch of expiring Bush-era tax cuts and across-the-board spending cuts to the Pentagon and domestic programs that could total $800 billion next year, based on Congressional Budget Office estimates.
It's is the most immediate item confronting President Barack Obama and a divided Congress in a post-election lame duck session. Economists say it threatens to push the economy back into recession if Obama and Republicans can't forge a deal to prevent it.
"The vast majority of the American people — rich, poor, everybody agrees — the richest of the rich have to help a little bit," Reid said.
A Congressional Budget Office study in May estimated that the fiscal cliff would force tax hikes and spending cuts totaling over $600 billion in the first nine months of next year — or perhaps $800 billion or so over the entire year if allowed to stay in effect.
The fiscal cliff includes:
—The expiration of Bush-era tax cuts on income, investments, married couples and families with children and inheritances.
—A $55 billion, 9 percent cut to the Pentagon next year and another $55 billion in cuts to domestic programs, including a 2 percent cut to Medicare providers.
—The expiration of unemployment benefits for the long-term jobless and a sharp cut in reimbursements for doctors participating in Medicare.
—The expiration of Obama's temporary 2 percentage point cut in payroll taxes.
—The imposition of the alternative minimum tax on some 26 million households, which would raise their taxes by an average of $3,700.
Some Democrats have called on Obama to propose renewing the payroll tax cut but he has not taken a position.
The election victory has given Obama new leverage in the upcoming showdown with House Republicans controlling over fiscal issues.
But a rejuvenated Obama still confronts a re-elected House GOP majority that stands in powerful opposition to his promise to raise tax rates on upper-bracket earners, although House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has left the door open for other forms of new revenue as part of a deal to tackle the spiraling national debt.
"The American people have also made clear that there is no mandate for raising tax rates," Boehner said Tuesday night. "What Americans want are solutions that will ease the burden on small businesses, bring jobs home, and let our economy grow. We stand ready to work with any willing partner — Republican, Democrat, or otherwise — who shares a commitment to getting these things done."
The Ohio Republican is scheduled to address the issue Wednesday afternoon.
There are numerous factors under consideration in the upcoming negotiations. Given the time crunch, it's most likely that lawmakers and Obama would seek to forge a deal setting the parameters of tax revenue increases and spending cuts to programs like Medicare and farm subsidies and then require Congress to fill in the blanks next year.
Reid also said he anticipates addressing the need to increase the government's borrowing cap early next year and not in the post-election session of Congress.

'COMUNIDADE' is a Portuguese word/appellation for GAUNKARY. Gaunkaries are ancient Indian socio-agro-economic institutions established by the original inhabitants (indigenous people) thousands of years prior to Portuguese rule in India for harmonious co-existence. Thus GAUNKARIES were in existence much before constitution of the STATE itself. A Comunidade consists of definite boundaries of land from village to village with its topographic detail, its management and social, religious and cultural interaction. There are at present about 223 Comunidades functioning in Goa. The basic functions of every Comunidade in every locality are those of welfare which are even more than what is stated under Article 39 of the Constitution of India.
Every Gaunkar is the direct male descendant of the first founders of the institution of Gaunkary in the Village. In other words, Gaunkars are co-owners of the land and of all the assets of their respective Comunidades being successors-in-interest in common, through their first ancestors. The lands of the Comunidades cannot be alienated in favour of any person or authority, in any manner whatsoever. The land of the Comunidade cannot be mortgaged or attached by any means to settle debts, loss or deficit of the Comunidade, if any. All such debts, loss or deficit has to be borne by all the Gaunkars/Componentes of the respective Comunidade proportionately, to meet any such eventualities.
The rights granted by the Comunidade by way of arrendamento (hiring) lapses by efflux of time without notice. The aforamento (lease) granted by the Comunidade lapses on expiry of lease period of whatever duration or purpose mentioned at the time of grant. The land grant by way of emphyteusis (heritable lease) to any person, is not subject to alienation or transfer by sale and cannot be put or used for any other purpose than contracted with the respective Comunidade at the time of grant. The land granted on emphyteusis or otherwise is subject to escheat to the respective Comunidade.
Every Gaunkar/Componente is duty bound to report all illegalities and irregularities noticed in the Comunidade and has competency to file suits or by any legal means recover any loss, damage or deficit suffered by the Comunidade at the instance of any person (including Managing Committee members, Attorneys, Administrators etc.) or Government authorities and also seek indemnity in favour of the Comunidade. The Gaunkars/Componentes protecting the interests of their Comunidade are entitled to be lawfully reimbursed the cost incurred by them from the coffers of the respective Comunidade.
CODE OF COMUNIDADES is a conventional law codified, having its origin in Vedic Indian Jurisprudence and based on the principle of Hindu Code which in turn is based on Shrutis devolved since times immemorial. In addition, every Comunidade has its own Private Law based on the particular nature of their locality. The Code of Comunidades is declared Public Law vide DIPLOMA LEGISLATIVO No. 2070 dated 15.4.1961 and recognizes that absolute ownership of land lies with the respective Comunidade, down to the center of the earth.
The original Gaunkary/Comunidade is an institution of the Gaunkars by the Gaunkars for the Gaunkars spread throughout the State covering all the citizens of the respective village. The Code of Comunidades is a law of Gaunkars by Gaunkars and for Gaunkars.
The Law of Comunidades is not enacted by the State Legislature but by the Gaunkars themselves. Neither the State Legislature nor Parliament is vested with powers or authority of the Constitution of India to make laws for Gaunkars.
Comunidades experienced brief period of liberation from State bondage under Portuguese rule for eight months i.e. from 15.4.1961 until Liberation of Goa in the same year. All western colonial rulers including the Portuguese, assumed that ownership of the land occupied by them on Indian Territory was originally vested with the king or ruler of the locality and hence vests with the Crown in England/Portugal on their ousting the last king/ruler. It is only after several legal battles by our predecessors that the Portuguese conceded that they committed gross error and thereafter discarded their thought and declared that Comunidade lands are not held by the Comunidades on State tenure nor on emphyteusis and the land is not subject to payment of any Land Revenue to the State. Some Comunidades dissolved during earlier period of Portuguese rule for want of payment of land revenue i.e. in arrears to the State, are now subject to be reconstituted by this recognition/acknowledgement given in the year 1961.
The Ex-Portuguese Government was under bilateral Treaty with the Gaunkars to give Administrative Tutelage and respect the provisions of the Code. On change of Government rule after liberation, the State continues to be under constitutional obligation to comply with the duty to provide the same tutelage and respect the Code. The Indian Administration which was extended over Goa after liberation, have till date adopted the British concept meant for slaves which held the concept that the ownership of land vests with the Crown/State. The State has thus failed to provide administrative tutelage to Comunidades and have committed a breach of obligation. The Gaunkars are subject to pay 'derrama' (tithes) to the State for the Tutelage provided. This 'derrama' is coming down from ages when Gaunkars were paying tithes to the then kings or rulers for protection of their interests. This contribution had been accepted by the ex-Portuguese rulers in the form of Derrama to render protection to Gaunkars as was the case under the then Kings/Rulers. The State and its agents are under fiduciary duty at all times to the Gaunkars.
The State has no Eminent Domain over the lands of the Comunidades to acquire or impose agrarian land reforms. Comunidade lands so acquired by the wrongful exercise of authority of Eminent Domain by the State (both for State and Central Governments, Government agencies or Companies, Corporations or Housing Boards etc.) shall be liable for forfeiture and recovery. The acquisition of the land so far made is at the risk of the Government or those parties who have obtained undue benefits. The same holds good against the wrongful imposition of agrarian land reforms. The Government has no authority to make policies or laws or amendments to regularize or encourage regularization of encroachments on Comunidade lands. The law of Comunidades is ancient and exclusively private and not enacted by Legislature. The Government of the State is wholly responsible and liable to clear in whatsoever manner, all encroachments and trespasses as a result of breach of trust by the Administrator of Comunidades, an appointee of the Government of Goa, as well as other employees supposed to be appointed by the Director of Civil Administration.
In a recent Mabo's case, the Australian High Court by judgement of 1992, has held that indigenous people of Australia had common law rights and interests in land and waters, according to their traditional law and customs. The High Court held that it has been wrongly assumed that indigenous people had no prior right of ownership of Australia. The judges held that this legal fiction had continued for more than 200 years. This judgement of the High Court caused the Australian Parliament to enact the Native Title Act 1993, establishing the rights of the indigenous people of Australia over the land. Whereas, for Gaunkars in Goa such declaration is given by the State itself on 15.4.1961 and hence there is no need to move any Court to establish the rights of the Gaunkars of Goa over their land.
The decisions and deliberations of the General Body on any item or issue once given is final when not set aside in appeal and becomes res judicata. The Managing Committee cannot substitute the General Body and/or overrule the decision of the General Body. The say of the Attorney or of the Managing Committee is not the say of the Comunidade to bind the respective Comunidade.
The Government should have declared Comunidades of Goa, 'National Heritage of India' being the only institutions in existence since Vedic India.
What Mahatma Gandhi had envisioned for local self-governance are the very institutions in the form of Gaunkaries which were prevailing throughout the Indian sub-continent (Bharat) and abolished on account of progressive invasions from outside. Had Gandhiji to live longer, he would have certainly learnt that there is such an ancient Indian institution of his vision known as Comunidades still struggling for survival in the territory of Goa and would have never allowed the Gaunkars to be crushed or held bondage at the whims and fancies of the political leaders.

I posted this once before, but thought I would try again. We are done having little ones, and are about to move locally and I do not want to take all our baby and toddler stuff with us. I am selling all my infant and toddler girl clothes (ages birth to 4T) at very cheap prices $1-$10. I am also selling a bunch of infant boy clothes. I have a ton of toys to sell from $1-20. I also have things to sell such as a snap n' go stroller, Dora tricycle, and much more. I am also giving away freebies to anyone who comes by to shop. If you are interested e-mail me at email@example.com.

Sure! I'm in Fairfax County, Fairfax Station to be specific. I am right where Burke meets Springfield meets the Laurel Hills part of Lorton. Not far from the South Run Rec Center for those who are familiar with it.

Archive for the 'asus google nexus 7' tag
There Is A New Nexus Tablet Coming Soon, Excited?!
WSJ has confirmed that HTC has been working on a new Nexus tablet for a while now. The Nexus tablet will be coming in a 9 inch form factor.
HTC refused to comment on the matter but Google said, "Android is a vibrant ecosystem, and many of the industry players are doing very well. There's room for many partners to do well and to innovate with Android." Google has been switching between brands so that manufacturers dont get monopoly.
There is also a motorola smartphone lined up for release later this year. Android fans, things just got interesting!
A New Nexus 9 Tablet Is Being Made By HTC!
The Google Nexus line has been dormant since the Nexus 5 last year and we have had rumors of a Nexus 6 and even Android Silver – a new line of premium devices.
The Nexus 8 that we had heard about earlier turns out to be a Nexus 9 that is currently being made by HTC. The tablet is rumored to be running on a Nvidia Tegra K1 chip which is a 64-bit processor. The resolution of the display is an odd 2048*1440 with an aspect ratio of 4:3 – more like the iPad Air. The rear-facing camera is an 8MP shooter with optical image stabilization, and it's backed up by a 3MP front-facing unit and 2 GB of RAM.
This tablet will launch in Q4 2014.
Now You Can Run Native iOS Apps On Android!
It's not for the first time that we have heard cross platform apps running. BlackBerry 10 and Jolla Sailfish OS have been doing it pretty neatly since quite a while now.
But still, the competition remains between Android and iOS when it comes to the best app stores and apps. Folks at Columbia University are in the process of developing a Cider OS compatible architecture and for now, they've caught our attention. Cider is designed ground up to help Android running native iOS apps without any code modification.
If you are wondering what kind of witchcraft enables this then this is – Cider uses compile time code adaption in the Android kernel couple with an additional interpretation layer that can handle such code in and out of the kernel. Well, to some it up, it works, surely it's not the smoothest experience, but we have to keep in mind that this is a work in progress and early success means we can see a great future for this.
Who know's maybe we'll be sharing apps across platforms in a few years, without any restrictions!
Official Nexus 7 Case Damages Tablet!
Image Courtesy : Android Central
No one can disagree to the fact that Google makes the most affordable Tablets and Smartphones when it comes to their Nexus series which is meant to deliver the best Android experience.
But more often when one does purchase a tablet or phone, people expect to protect their devices since not every one is planning to upgrade each year. That explains the existence of cases and protection films, Google's prices are on the steep side of things, and the designs haven't always won us over. Folks at Android Central reported that thier unit of the Nexus 7, which was picked up last year with the folio case, in turn damages the unit over time.
The red folio case had deposited orangish marks that were more than just a breeze to remove. Sure it's just a case but for one that costs $50, this is far from expected. Why would anyone allow their accessories damage their precious devices, specially when Amzer has some awesome picks at crazy prices!
8.9 Inch Nexus Tab In Works, Made By HTC?!
Rumors of a future possible Nexus 8 has been in the air since quite a while since the Nexus line of tablets is pretty much depending on only one update strong contender at this moment – the Nexus 7 2013 edition.
"The expectation is [that] this will be a lower volume product, carrying a premium price tag to support the specifications", claims the report, which also mentions "high-performance" specifications. With the Nexus tag, does come the non premium price tag and quoted in the report is a tag of more than $299.
The report says that HTC may be the manufacturer for this, but let's keep this in the rumors category for now.
Google I/O Scheduled, Tickets Sold Like Lottery, New Nexus 7 Rumored?!
Android always manages to take the centre stage at Google i/O conferences, with lot of new services like Google Music being announced previously and even new and experimental hardware, like the Nexus Q.
Returning to a June date is interesting, makes us think in the direction of the Nexus, particularly the Nexus 7 which has been the June device for Google, so should we expect a new one this time? Google's Sundar Pichai has also announced that registrations this year are going to be different so attendees don't have to go through a lot of pain in order to secure a seat. They would be randomly be picking people from the recieved registrations for the event, just like a lottery ticket!
A New Nexus 8 May Release Soon, To Be Made By Asus!
The Nexus series, specially the Nexus 7 has been a benchmark tablet to lead the industry in terms of best specs at rock bottom prices. There were rumours of an 8 inch version of the Nexus slate and here is some update on the same.
According to a report "sources from the upstream supply chain", Google might turn its attention to the eight-inch tablet market, with plans for a Nexus 8 by mid-2014. The same report says that Asus would be the manufacturer and Intel's Bay Trial-T would be the preferred power plant.
Would you like an 8 inch Nexus?
Nvidia's New Tegra K1 Faster Than Your Xbox And Playstation!
Nvidia has always been showcasing their new chips at CES and this year is no different. Nvidia Unveiled their latest Superphone Chip at the first day of CES 2014 and here is what the company has to offer:
The new K1 chip comes in two pin-to-pin compatible versions. The first is a 32-bit quad-core chip with a 4-plus-1 ARM Cortex A15 CPU, and the second is a custom Nvidia-designed 64-bit 'Denver' dual "super core" CPU that is based on the ARMv8 architecture. Both versions of the chip feature the same impressive 192-core Kepler GPU, delivering what Nvidia claims will bring "next-gen console gaming graphics" to mobile devices.
Blown away!? Don't be excited though, the initial demos did show noticeable lag and while Nvidia does put it off in the name of early prototypes, all these number are not always indicative of day to day performance.
Sony Xperia Z Ultra And LG G-Pad 8.3 Google Play Editions Now Available!
And if you thought that Google had showcased everything for 2013 just yet, the company today announced the Sony Xperia Z Ultra and the LG G Pad 8.3 Google Play editions.
While the G-Pad now owns the badge of the first tablet to be featured in the Google Play Edition line-up, the Sony Xperia Z Ultra also came across as a surprise.
The Good part is that the G Pad comes only at $350 for 1080p display, 16GB internal storage (micro SD expandable), 2GB of RAM, and a Snapdragon 600 SoC which is a great deal!
While the next deal would be heavy on your pockets, some phablet lovers would like it. The Sony Xperia Z Ultra Google Play Edition comes at $650 for a Snapdragon 800, a 1080p Display , 16 GB Internal Memory (expandable via mircoSD) with LTE support.
Well done Google.
Oops, KitKat Contest Winners In India Get 2012 Nexus 7
The Nestle KitKat and Google tie up at the last moment might have worked great for both companies but today a rather troubling news surface online.
According to a tipster and several reports from India, KitKat used Nexus 7 (2013) images when marketing the promotion, but then shipped the older tablet to winners.
Image : Marketing Material shows New Nexus 7
When asked about this to Nestle, this is what they had to say : "We hear you're unhappy. Winners got the Nexus7 tabs available in India in Sept (contest date). The new version launched only in Nov."
Well, only if companies could make their marketing campaigns better!

The whole transaction was super easy and Callie was super responsive and I could tell that my dogs were well loved while I was gone.
I felt very comfortable leaving my older dog with Callie for a week - even though my dog has some quirks which I find challenging at times, Callie seemed totally unfazed by my dog, & even charmed by her eccentricities. I felt that my dog & my home were totally safe in her care. Thank you, Callie!
Callie did a great job with Dizzy. She was enthusiastic about him. Dizzy was happy when my husband got home. The house was just as we left it. We have already booked her again for another trip.
About Callie
Callie T.'s House Sitting
I grew up in rural montana with cats, dogs, horses, a guinea pig, and a cow. I'm a senior at the University of Washington. Since I don't have my pets in Seattle, I would love to spend my free time playing with pets!

I have grown up with dogs my entire life. My first dog was a great dane mix that weighed about 130 pounds. When she was about 1 ...
What Callie would like to know about your dog
I don't have any breed preferences, I love all types of dogs. I would like to know if the dog has any special needs. Also I think it is important to know a dogs habits. Maintaining a schedule that the dog is used to is helpful for keeping them comfortable and happy. I love playing with dogs so I would also like to know their favorite activities and toys.
When your dog stays with Callie
Time I'll spend with your dog
As a University of Washington student I am in classes during the day. I would like to spend time after school playing with them for a couple hours in addition to feedings and just relaxing with them each day.
Extra house-sitting services
Yes, I am willing to do additional tasks.

You need to clarify your question. What do you mean by you just got UnleashX? Did you install it to your xbox as a replacment dashboard? If so, then all you need to do is turn your xbox on to get it to start. You need to elaborate more about your problem in order to receive proper help.

Birth of the String Quartet, Vol. 1by Casal Quartett
This German release purports to recount the "birth of the string quartet", something almost as nebulous and hard to pin down as the birth of the blues. The upside is that this is a set of clean, rather antique-sounding performances on a set of seventeenth century instruments that are interesting in themselves; all are products of the same maker, Austrian Jacob Stainer. The downside is that the program tells you only half the story. The handsome booklet (in German and English) notes that Haydn's Op. 1 quartets, which are of immense importance in the history of the form but aren't included here, "are neither very subtle nor elaborate or complicated, rather they seem blithely playful or even cheeky and are surprisingly short." That seems to rule them out for this program, which is less about the birth of the string quartet than about how it became music for connoisseurs. The casalQuartett (that's how the group spells it, and rock and bluegrass fans will be pleased to note the presence of a Zappa and two Flecks in the group) traces the appearance of music in four string parts, without continuo, going back as far as a "Sonata a quattro" of Alessandro Scarlatti. Leaving aside the question of whether this and the following "Sinfonia" by G.B. Sammartini were intended for performances by one instrument per part, they don't sound much like early string quartets in terms of texture and mood. That's because it grew not only out of music for four string parts, but out of a variety of light forms for small group without continuo, variously named Divertimento (an especially common title even for bona fide for string quartets up to about the mid-1770s), Serenade, Feldparthie, or Cassation, among other terms. It was Haydn who saw how these pieces could be connected with the old contrapuntal tradition, and, with a single quartet from Op. 9 represented here, he gets short shrift. On the other hand, the "String Quartet in C minor, Op. 2/1" (1761), of Luigi Boccherini is a strong point here; an ambitious product of the 18-year-old composer, it exposes a little-known example of serious chamber music apparently unconnected with German Sturm und Drang. If you're after a history of the string quartet, pick up some Haydn recordings of his early chamber music as well as or instead of this disc, but the music here is interesting and well if rather dryly played on its own terms.
