styledotcom #FashionFaceOff: Which do you like best?stylem.ag/1AvhqGa pic.twitter.com/zOrLup81mK
Magnus Berger and Tenzin Wild always throw The Last Magazine's fashion week parties at the tail end of the week—the time, in other words, when designers and editors can see the light at the end of the tunnel and are especially eager to kick off their six-inch heels and let off some steam. That's just what they did last night at the mag's fourth-issue launch party at Pravda."I first came to New York in 1998, and one of the first places I went to was Pravda," Berger explained. "It's part of a different era but it feels new, and a lot of my friends had never been here. Our parties are not really about doing anything big or fancy. We just want to have fun." He doth protest too much. "Magnus always throws the best parties," said model Julia Stegner, surveying the tiny, tightly packed dance floor. Fueled by male models-cum-DJs James Penfold and Simon Bolzoni, Daria Werbowy and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld held court there for quite some time. Kate Bosworth took a few spins before retreating to a corner booth. New York City Ballet principal Benjamin Millepied probably could have taught all in attendance a thing or two, but he and his date, Natalie Portman, stayed on the sidelines."You need lots of alcohol," Stegner said of what makes a great fashion week party, before adding, "I'm not partaking." Turns out Stegner was leaving for Italy early in the morning for work ("It's not so good for the face"). But the work was done for attendees Richard Chai, Phillip Lim, Joseph Altuzarra, and Alexander Wang. The latter (pictured with Stegner at another fashion week event)—who knows a thing or two about throwing raucous after-parties—may have sat this season out, but he has something up his chenille sleeve. "We're saving all of our ammunition for September. You can always do bigger and better things in September."

Brighton's Blind Tiger Club first in city to accept Bitcoin payment
Updated 12:15pm Monday 10th February 2014 in News By Ben Leo
Technology enthusiasts are celebrating the first city bar to accept payment in Bitcoins.
Blind Tiger Club is thought to be the first venue in Brighton and Hove that allows customers to pay for their drinks using the highlypublicised technology.
Bitcoin is a decentralised virtual currency, meaning it does not physically exist or have a central bank such as the Federal Reserve or the Bank of England.
Instead, Bitcoins are stored in 'virtual wallets' on computers and are traded for real-world currency using online exchanges.
- GCSE results day live
- Man drives drunk to complain about being barred from pub....for being drunk
- Rats found at takeaway
- Lib-Dem claims he will out-green the Greens
- Road trip in aid of air ambulance
Around 20 people who are backing the technology met at the Grand Parade venue to test out the new payment system.
One of them, 25-year-old Nick Chowdrey, co-founder of Bitcoin Brighton, said: "I think we are in a phase where the internet was in the mid-1990s where people are a bit reluctant to use the technology.
"However I don't see how it's not going to be adopted because it's a genius idea.
"I think you will find more webbased companies and more bricks and mortar firms starting to accept Bitcoins as payment as they know their value will go up in time.
"They could be a brilliant investment in the long term and could possibly be worth a lot more in ten years' time than they are now."
Bitcoins hit the headlines in the past year after its value increased by up to 1,000% since the start of January 2013.
Its launch in 2009 also coincided with the tipping point of the financial crisis, where people began to lose trust in the global banking system.
In America, Bitcoin owners can spend them to order takeaway pizzas and even book a flight with Richard Branson's space-tourism firm Virgin Galactic.
There are a finite number of Bitcoins in the world, with a limit of 21 million set to be reached by the end of this year.

The normally close-mouthed Colts had no problem announcing at the Super Bowl that they plan to begin serious talks on a new deal for four-time MVP Peyton Manning that figures to be "the biggest in history."
Wayne, Powers practice; Freeney doesn't
DE Dwight Freeney sat out the Colts' final walk-through Saturday prior to Sunday's Super Bowl XLIV, watching from a golf cart. WR Reggie Wayne, however, returned to the field after having aggravated a season-long right knee injury during Friday ...
Kickers need focus on task at hand
It is impossible to overlook how missed field goals have marked this postseason, yet Colts 20-year veteran PK Matt Stover and Saints second-year PK Garrett Hartley have been very reliable in the playoffs.
Clark could be crucial weapon vs. Saints
PFW's Eric Edholm analyzes the expected battle between Colts TE Dallas Clark and Saints SS Roman Harper in the sixth and last of a daily series examining a matchup of the day leading up to Super Bowl XLIV.
Wayne aggravates knee injury; Freeney sits again

Saints RB Reggie Bush has had an up-and-down career to date, but head coach Sean Payton believes his knowledge of the offense has improved. Read Wednesday's Super Bowl notebook.
Q&A with Colts TE Dallas Clark
Colts TE Dallas Clark met with reporters on Wednesday and answered questions about the Saints' defense and comparisons regarding the only two head coaches he's had in the pros — Tony Dungy and Jim Caldwell.
Luck surpassed Cam Newton's year-old record for yards passing by a rookie when he had 123 in the first half of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.||||||| Luck needed only 74 yards to break the Carolina quarterback's mark of 4,051 yards, and he eclipsed it while leading the Colts to a field goal that gave Indianapolis a 13-3 halftime lead.
Luck threw for 186 yards with two touchdowns in Sunday's loss to the Texans.||||||| Luck had led the Colts to a rookie-record six wins on drives in the fourth quarter or overtime this season, and he got the Colts within six points late in the third quarter but they fell short. Luck still remains in a tight competition with RGIII for NFL rookie of the year.
Luck was 16 of 34 for 196 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in Indianapolis' win against Tennessee on Sunday.||||||| It was the second straight game in which Luck struggled, as he's thrown five picks and five TDs over the last two weeks. Luck's passer rating of 50.6 was a season worst. Nonetheless, the Colts have won three consecutive games.
Luck went 24 of 54 for 391 yards, four touchdowns, and three interceptions in Sunday's win against Detroit.||||||| He posted his lowest completion percentage of the season and struggled at times but the four TDs were a season-high, including a 14-yarder to Donnie Avery as time expired to win the game. Luck is the first rookie quarterback in the Super Bowl era to achieve eight wins.
Luck broke Peyton Manning's NFL rookie record with his fifth game of at least 300 yards passing Sunday but had two of his three interceptions returned for touchdowns in a 59-24 drubbing to New England.||||||| Luck finshed with 334 yards and two touchdowns while going 27 for 50. He's on pace for 4,744 yards, which would shatter Cam Newton's record of 4,051 from last season.

Boswell, WaPo: For streaking Washington Nationals, runs like this don't come around very often
Long winning streaks are part of the fabric and lore of baseball. They just aren't part of the fabric and lore of D.C. As a kid, I became a Senators fan in third grade. I was a sophomore in high school, more than seven seasons and 1,100 games later, before I saw my first winning streak of more than five games.
We heard that other towns had streaks that stretched for weeks, not days. The 1916 New York Giants won 26 in a row, though with a tie game stuck there. The Cubs once won 21 in a row. ...Read More...

1. "Homer at Bat," Friday, Aug. 22, 11:30 a.m. ET
Why it's great: Everything. "Homer at Bat" is perfection rolled into 20-some minutes. This episode aired early in the series life, but is one of the most memorable for how many baseball players and references are made in a single episode. From Mr. Burns' crusade against sideburns, to "Wonderbat" this episode has it all. If you've somehow managed to miss this then it's an absolute must-watch.

Astros slugger Chris Carter: The most 2014 player of 2014
What's happening is that with strikeouts at historically unprecedented levels, even for non-power hitters, there are fewer productive outs that move runners along and provide chances for runs to be driven home without putting a ball over the fence. That keeps control of the game in the hands of the sluggers, even as raw home run totals drop.
There are those who might say that this is a troubling trend, that by relying more on brute force, baseball loses key strategic elements, and the ...Read More...

Managing your payment
Self service
You can do most of your Centrelink, Medicare and Child Support business using self service. There are options using mobile apps, online services or phone self service.
Change of circumstances while receiving Carer Allowance
You need to tell us if your circumstances change when you are receiving a payment. For example, if:
- the person or child you care for goes into respite care or hospital
- the person or child you care for needs less care
- the child you care for stops being your dependent
- you move house
- you stop caring for the person or child
- your care situation or the level of care you provide changes because of support from DisabilityCare Australia, the national disability insurance scheme or
- you or the person you care for goes on a holiday outside Australia or leaves Australia permanently
If you do not tell us about the changes within 14 days your payment may be affected. You may be overpaid benefits and you will probably have to pay the money back.
If you deliberately do not tell us about changes, you could be charged with fraud, and a recovery fee may be imposed.
Taking a break from caring
Up to 63 days per calendar year can be taken for respite without affecting your payment. These days may be used for any purpose, including formal respite care such as community, in-home, or residential respite, or informal respite that is provided by a friend or family member.
If the child under 16 years goes into hospital
You can continue to receive Carer Allowance if the child you are caring for goes into hospital, as long as you continue to provide care for them while they are in hospital and you intend to resume caring for them when they return home. It is important that you tell us if this occurs.
We will contact you after your child has been in hospital for a continuous period of 12 weeks to review your circumstances.
If the person 16 years or over goes into hospital
You can continue to be paid Carer Allowance if the person you are caring for goes into hospital for up to 63 days per calendar year as long as you continue to provide care for them and intend to continue caring for them after the hospital stay. The hospitalisation period is in addition to the standard 63 day allowable break from caring.
Medical reviews while receiving Carer Allowance
Carer Allowance is reviewed to confirm you are continuing to provide care and whether there are any changes to the care situation or the care receiver's medical condition. A medical review of the care receiver may also be required.
Child care receivers under 16
A child you care for may be required to have a medical review on reaching these developmental milestones:
- 4 years and 8 months
- 10 years
- 13 years
If the child's disability or medical condition is on the list of recognised disabilities, they will not have milestone reviews.
Adult care receivers
An adult you care for may be required to have a medical review every 2 years.
Carer Allowance while travelling outside Australia
If you, or the person you care for, leave Australia to live in another country, your payment will stop on departure.
If the person that you care for is:
- with you while you are travelling outside Australia, you can continue being paid for the first 6 weeks overseas
- not travelling with you, Carer Allowance will continue for the first 6 weeks, provided you have enough respite days remaining. There are 63 respite days in each calendar year
- travelling without you, your Carer Allowance will continue while you have enough respite days remaining
- under 16 years of age and stays in Australia with your partner while you are travelling, you can continue being paid Carer Allowance, but not Carer Payment, for up to 6 weeks while you are outside Australia, without using your respite days
Advising us of your travel outside Australia
You should tell us if you or the person you care for are leaving Australia and:
- will be away for longer than 6 weeks, or
- you are the carer and the person you care for is not travelling with you or is travelling outside Australia without you
Otherwise you do not need to tell us if you are leaving Australia. We will be advised automatically by Australia's immigration department when you leave Australia and when you return.
Someone to deal with us on your behalf
If you would prefer to have someone else handle your business with us, you can authorise a person or an organisation to deal with us on your behalf.

Just a few series after Mark Barron laid wood on Panthers WR Steve Smith, he was back at it again– this time breaking up a vital pass intended for Louis Murphy.
The Panthers are trying desperately to break through, but Barron is one of the largest reasons they're not having any success. In short: The rookie has been stellar.

Neil Olshey is getting a few things from his sudden move from the L.A. Clippers to the Portland Trail Blazers, where he will serve as the first permanent general manager since Rich Cho was unceremoniously dismissed 11 months into his tenure a year ago. He's stunningly getting less stability, as if that were possible.
The circumstances around Olshey's promotion to GM of the Clippers in 2010 were odd -- Mike Dunleavy was relieved of his post via press release during halftime of a forgettable game for lottery-bound L.A. soon after stepping down as coach. But at least Dunleavy had had a few years to work out the kinks; Cho was, by most accounts, doing a fine job when Blazers owner Paul Allen dismissed him less than a year into his tenure.
At least the Clippers, that running joke, had some modicum of a plan when Donald T. Sterling, too awful to be made a joke, canned first Elgin Baylor, and then Dunleavy. That plan involved promoting Olshey, though without the typical pomp and circumstance. (It is the Clippers. Things must remain weird, even slightly.)
The Blazers had no plan at all: assistant GM Chad Buchanan ran the draft, ran free agency and ran what unfortunately became the ends of the Portland careers of Brandon Roy (amnesty waiver) and Greg Oden (waived to make roster space for a cap dump). And Buchanan did all of that as an interim GM! Cho's predecessor, Kevin Pritchard, was fired hours before the 2010 draft ... and was still allowed to stay on and make a pretty big trade (Martell Webster for Luke Babbitt) for Portland.
So no, Olshey is not getting more stability in Portland. The only franchise more shaky than the Blazers right now is the Sacramento Kings, who of course have the longest-tenured GM in the entire league. (Some things are simply mystifying.)
What Olshey will get is resources: though rumor has it Allen will be stepping back his investment in the Blazers' future, there's no question he'll likely continue to spend more than Sterling. Donald T. Sterling has changed a bit -- he paid Dunleavy quite handsomely (even though he tried to snake out of the coach-GM's contract after firing him) and has salary parity with other good teams. I mean, he agreed to pay DeAndre Jordan $42 million! DeAndre Jordan's contract and the word "cheap" can never both exist in the same realm.
But again, Allen's on a different level. He's the one owner who regularly kept pace with the New York Knicks and Dallas Mavericks in the era of the uncapped luxury tax. He's likely purchased more draft picks than any other owner, with the possible exception of Mark Cuban. He eats salary as a matter of course; he once swallowed Steve Francis' $20 million salary just to get rid of Zach Randolph. Sterling isn't doing that.
And maybe Allen isn't doing it anymore, either. But it's far more likely that Olshey would get nods on just about all requests in Portland than in L.A., setting aside the new tax and cap rules.
But what exactly are the Blazers getting in Olshey?
Olshey Leave Clippers, Joins Blazers
CLIPS NATION: What Just Happened? | BLAZERS EDGE: Neil Olshey's Advantages
There's really no middle ground here. A survey of his moves as the Clippers' GM show some beautiful decisions ... and some completely awful ones.
Picked up Eric Bledsoe in the 2010 draft. The cost: the Clippers' pick this year, No. 22 overall. It was a risky move because the pick L.A. gave up was only protected in the top 10 through 2015, and Bledsoe was the No. 18 pick. But it paid off, and Bledsoe is one of L.A.'s best young assets.
Claimed Chauncey Billups off waivers. The Knicks made Billups, the former All-Star, an amnesty waiver player. L.A. made the winning bid, which was stunningly pretty low and risk-free. Billups was lost for the season early on, but it was still a canny move that deserves commendation.
Pulled off the Chris Paul trade. You can talk all you want about David Stern setting this up, but Olshey had the assets and will to get it done. That's no small thing. This was a franchise-changing deal.
Traded basically nothing for a Nick Young rental. Swaggy P ended up as one of the Clippers' more important reserves late this season. Olshey found him in the clearance aisle. A clear win.
These transactions don't quite elevate to the ugly level, but ...
Signed Randy Foye as a free agent. It was the summer of 2010, the Clippers couldn't even get a meeting with LeBron James and ... sorry, this was just a major strikeout. With all of the magical free agents available, L.A. didn't sniff a single one.
Picked Al-Farouq Aminu over Gordon Hayward and Paul George. The book on these three remains unfinished, but it's heading a certain direction that does not reflect well on Olshey's decision to take Aminu at No. 8 when the others went No. 9 and No. 10, respectively.
Matched DeAndre Jordan's $42 million offer sheet. Maybe L.A. had no choice here: Jordan is Blake Griffin's best friend, and the league isn't teeming with great secondary options at center. But man, what an ugly contract that appears to be right now.
Hired Vinny Del Negro. Seriously.
Traded the pick that became Kyrie Irving for some nominal cap savings. This remains one of the worst trades the NBA has seen in years. Olshey gave the Cleveland Cavaliers the Clippers' unprotected 2011 first-round pick to swap Baron Davis and Mo Williams. The deal saved the Clippers $11 million in salary over two seasons. And cost them Kyrie Fricking Irving! No matter what sort of mewing Olshey applies -- and he applied plenty through friendly media types back in 2011 -- this was an awful, awful trade that violated a cardinal rule (never trade an unprotected lottery pick for anything less than a legit star).
So that's what you're getting, Portland: the only GM in the NBA who can legitimately say that he has executed both the very best and the very worst trades of the past 16 months. Given the Blazers' current issues, that erratic performance seems like it'll be a perfect fit.

Over 40% of business technology decision-makers indicate that support forums, discussion forums, and professional social networks influence them throughout their online journey. Yet many marketers overlook the impact of the conversations that occur within these networks.
Chances are your company has an online community that requires your attention. Whether you have a support forum on your corporate website, a company page on LinkedIn, or a brand page on Facebook, somewhere there is a community of customers, partners, and influencers that is talking about your brand.
It is up to you to take advantage of this opportunity to interact with your community members, but it requires a new marketing mindset. It requires a shift from traditional media creation to social capital creation. It requires an ability to engage and motivate influencers. It also requires time, energy, and commitment from you and the stakeholders within your organization.
It is difficult to ignore the impact that community interactions have on decision-makers. But why do online communities often fail? We speak to many clients who struggle with establishing their communities and found five common mistakes:
1. Choosing the wrong approach. Communities are not a "one size fits all" strategy for customer engagement. Companies must understand how and where their customers and prospects prefer to engage online and the types of activities that will drive member participation.

The silver lining on Apple's iOS6 Maps App snafu is that it has fueled much humorous poking. My favorite so far is the photo going around Facebook of Tom Hanks in "Cast Away." There is also a blog called "The Amazing iOS 6 Maps" that includes a collection of Maps mishaps sent in by users. It seems that negative product and service experiences often turn into comedy (remember "United Breaks Guitars"?). A funny photo or link shared on Facebook is often how product issues are initially brought to our attention.

Disqus, a SaaS commenting platform that companies can embed in any website page, just announced a funding round of $10 million yesterday. In the same announcement, they stated that they are reaching 500 million unique visitors a month across 750,000 different websites, including major media sites like both CNN and Fox News, as well as many high tech news sources, such as ReadWriteWeb (which wrote an article on the announcement).
As a B2B marketer, why does this matter to you? Because B2B sites can learn from these largely media or consumer examples. B2B sites that want to enable community and commenting on their pages, including blog posts, need to make it extremely simple to engage using whichever of your social identities (and resulting social networks) you want to bring to the site.
Requiring a unique login in order to get an IT developer to share feedback on your new server architecture, for example, makes it easier to capture information in your CRM system, but your visitors want to add value to their existing social identities. Allowing visitors to engage with you using their preferred identities creates a valuable service for them by strengthening their preferred online identity. See the screenshot below for what this looks like with Disqus. This may increase their willingness to engage on your website instead of across the Internet.

Just a few short months ago, I was an implementer of community and social media products and programs. The success I had in those roles, and the knowledge I carry with me now, is thanks in part to the Forrester research reports that helped guide me along the way — so I'm especially excited to now be the author of one of those documents.
My first Forrester report is called the Community Management Checklist (Forrester clients can click the link to read it.) It's an overview of the process marketers need to follow and the important-but-sometimes-overlooked concepts and ideas to keep in mind as they work towards launching or engaging with their community.
Through my research, I identified four phases of the process that can be handily summarized by the acronym PALM:
Planning: Laying the groundwork, setting objectives, exploring existing conversations, making necessary early decisions.
Alignment: Building internal consensus and processes.
Launch: Attracting and retaining members.
Maintenance: Cultivating relationships with your members and turning them into loyalists.
In the document, I've covered many issues that marketers have told me they've struggled with, so I hope you'll find that it gives you actionable advice to help you during your own planning process. If it sparks other thoughts or questions, let me know in the comments here or on Twitter — a quick comment from you might turn into an important research topic for me.

As you might have read, the Interactive Marketing analyst team has been growing. What you might not know yet is that I'm one of the new recruits.
I'm one of those practitioners who's been working with social media since before we called it that — early on at Bolt.com and most recently at Time Inc. Check out my profile for more details about me.
I imagine it'll come as no surprise that social media is one of my coverage areas. I'll be looking at the operational, tactical side of social media — especially topics related to community management. Speaking of which, my first piece of writing as an analyst was published in this month's issue of CRM Magazine. If you have a chance to read it, I hope you'll come back here and share your feedback.
In addition to social media, I'll be tackling some emerging topics for interactive marketers, like e-readers and other mobile devices. My early research agenda is sketched out and my first document, a checklist to prepare for community management, will be published in the next few weeks. Following that, I'll be working on the Community Platforms Forrester Wave, but if there are particular questions you have about any of my coverage areas, or specific pieces of research that would be of interest or help to you, please add a comment and let me know.

Someone needs to wake the Philadelphia Union up. They are being smacked around right now by the Houston Dynamo and while they are down 2-1, it doesn't accurately reflect Houston's dominance. The Union have been a mess defending set pieces, but they have also been unorganized in the run of play, incompetent in the midfield and invisible up front. There's just very little good to say about Philadelphia right now.
A lot of the Union's problems can be traced to head coach Peter Nowak's strange decision to play Stefani Miglioranzi and Brian Carroll in the center of the midfield. Both are fine players, but both are defensive minded and when they are in there together, they just have no creativity or attack through the center. Both of them, especially Miglioranzi, are playing so deep that they are just conceding the center of the pitch to the Dynamo.
The Union can't get away with this for much longer. You'd have to think that Roger Torres, Freddy Adu or even Amobdi Okugo has to come in eventually to give them some attack in the center. Even Kyle Nakazawa will do. Someone needs to do it because Carroll and Miglioranzi can't.

By SUZANNE MOORE
---- — ELLENBURG — Two candidates vie for a one-year unexpired term on the Town Council here.
Deryl Gregory has had some taste of what the job is about; though he does not serve on the council, he has been deputy town supervisor for almost a year.
Since his appointment, he said, "I think I've missed one meeting."
Robert J. Poitras is new to politics but says his experience in construction arms him with knowledge that can bring better services to his town.
Gregory said he has always had an interest in the governmental workings of his town but raising a family kept him from taking an active role.
Now, he said, "I look around, and in every organization I'm involved in, I see most of the people taking leadership roles are older.
"It's time for the younger people to take a part."
Gregory is enthusiastic about about the recreation park the town is building and wants to help that effort along.
The money for that project comes from payments-in-lieu-of-taxes funds from the wind-park companies in Ellenburg, and he wants to be part of the process to make sure that money continues to bring improvements.
He knows people who live on Chateaugay Lake are concerned about the invasive species Eurasian milfoil. And he is aware of a growing Amish community "putting (fallow) farmland back into production.
"We've got to work with those folks," Gregory said. "Obviously, they have some needs."
A year's term isn't long enough to effect big change, he said, but after that brief stint in office he expects he'd have a better grasp of the town's needs.
Most importantly during that time, he said, "what I would really like to accomplish is to have a cohesive town board that works together to get things done.
"I think, by and large, that is the way we're going, and I want to be part of that."
Clean, less-expensive energy, services for the elderly and young people — those would be Robert Poitras's aims should he be elected to the council seat.
"Hydro — that's one of the best sources there is (for clean energy)," he said, "because water always flows, and it's not dirty.
"And we've got all kinds of lakes around here; there used to be a hydro dam at Chateaugay Lake."
As a general contractor, Poitras believes his experience would come in useful. He'd like to find grant funds to improve the homes of senior citizens who can't afford to make needed upgrades. He could help select qualified contractors, he said.
For young people, he'd like to see a skating rink in winter, a place to go swimming in summer.
"Keep them off the street," he said of less wholesome activities kids sometimes adopt when there are not enough healthy entertainments available.
"And not just for Ellenburg," he said. "There are other little (hamlets in town), Altona, Merrill, Chateaugay Lake, Chazy Lake — they are all part of Ellenburg."
The town needs better Internet access, too, he said, noting he helped install fiber-optic systems in many area schools and also for the wind parks.
Poitras, his wife, Mary, and son, Joshua, bought the Owly Out bar/restaurant on Route 374 in Merrill, which they have completely renovated and will be opening soon.
That will bring some jobs to that part of town, including some for young people who can deliver food orders.
If elected, he said, "I want to help the people."

How to track down memory leaks in Symbian C++ using Visual Studio
Archived: This article is archived because it is not considered relevant for third-party developers creating commercial solutions today. If you think this article is still relevant, let us know by adding the template {{ReviewForRemovalFromArchive|user=~~~~|write your reason here}}.
The article is believed to be still valid for the original topic scope.
Version 1.0
Published at www.forum.nokia.com on May 12, 2005.
This article presents a method of tracking down a memory leak in cases where the address of that heap allocation keeps changing. The solution consists of the following steps:
- Start the application and run it until it panics.
- Take note of the address that wasn't deallocated. (Assume it's 0x1046a432.)
- Restart the application and run it until it panics. Make sure you run it exactly as you did the first time.
- Again take note of the address. (Assume it's 0x1a52a432.)
- Run it one more time, again until it panics and in exactly the same way.
- Again take note of the address. (Assume it's 0x245ea432.)
- Now looking at the numbers you will find a correlation.
Constant progression
In some cases you will find that the address increases by the same amount with each restart of the application. In the case of the addresses assumed above, the address for the same panic increased from 0x1046a432 to 0x1a52a432, that is, by 0xa0c00000 bytes. Then, the next address was at place of the same increase, that is, 0x245ea432 . So now you know that when you restart the application, there will be a panic at 0x245ea432 + 0xa0c00000 = 0xc51ea432 .
Now view that memory address in the memory window and put a breakpoint in the code just before it panics, that is, in a final destructor call, or some function call that you know is pretty much at the end of the application. When you hit the breakpoint, view what's in that address space. If it looks like some text, then you'll know it is some descriptor that wasn't cleaned up properly. If it contains another address or looks like it's some kind of an object, then try typecasting it in your watcher window like this: (CBase*)0xc51ea432. In many cases, the debugger then will show you what object it is.
Irregular progression
However, if the application restarts didn't show a constant increase in the memory address, then try restarting the emulator. After restarting the emulator and the application, run the application until it panics in exactly the same way as previously. If the address is the same as in the previous tests, that is, 0x1046a432, then the next panic will probably be in the address space of the last test round, that is, 0x1a52a432, so try viewing and watching this memory address with the breakpoint enabled when you restart the application.
Related addresses
If that doesn't find the leak, the final thing left is to put a few breakpoints around the code and run the initial tests again, going through about three iterations of panics. But this time in addition to noting the panicking address, also take down the addresses of a few objects that are created in your code, and then try to find any correlation between the known object addresses and the place where the panic occurs. Check for correlations where the first four bits in the address are the same, or perhaps the last four. If you find some correlation, use that to calculate the address of the next failed deallocation.
Process of elimination
If all that doesn't help, you will need to go through your code and disable everything that's allocated, and then enable things step by step until you find the allocation that never gets deallocated.

Rail Ticket Service
Passengers now travel by train more than at any time in the railway's history and, believe it or not, an important ingredient in this is travelling for pleasure, either to visit friends and relatives or, increasingly, simply riding the trains to visit new places or enjoy the scenery. There are probably a number of issues which have influenced the trend, ranging from the introduction of Eurostar services from London to Paris and Brussels in the 1990s, suddenly making it a whole lot easier to visit continental Europe, or for environmental issues (Eurostar proudly boasts that it is a carbon neutral mode of transport) to customers themselves aspiring to something a little different from their customary fortnight in the sun.
Travelling by rail is not only environmentally friendly (up to 90% less CO2 emissions than flying) but also an enjoyable way to start your holiday. With rail travel your holiday starts the moment you step onboard the train when you can sit back and experience the sights and sounds of the countryside and cities you pass through before reaching your destination. Here at Ffestiniog Travel we have been booking international rail journeys for 40 years and our dedicated ticketing service provides a one-stop-shop for rail journeys throughout the world. No longer is the 'holiday by rail' the preserve of the enthusiasts pursuing their hobby. Today's rail travellers have a broad range of interests and come from a wide background.
Our rail ticket department operates its own website www.myrailtrip.co.uk which details selected routes, fares and passes for travel in the UK, Europe and worldwide.
UK Tickets
Purchasing rail tickets in the UK can be a minefield with different types of fares, routes and validities. Our expert team of travel consultants can guide you through and obtain the correct ticket for your requirements. Rail travel doesn't have to be as expensive as it can sometimes appear, and we can advise you on the best time to travel or discuss all the options that might make your rail journey cheaper. If you are a student or aged between 16 and 25, travelling with children or if you are over 60 then it could be worth buying a railcard. Railcards offer a discount of up to a third off rail fares and depending on the journey can save you more than the full cost on the first use.
European Tickets
We at Ffestiniog Travel are extremely proud of our European ticketing department. As one of the leading retailers of European tickets in the UK we have direct access to many rail operators booking systems and can provide tickets for the majority of trains in Europe. We will advise you on whether individual tickets or a general railpass will be better and can arrange seat reservations for those trains that require booking.
It is often cheaper to purchase a 'through' ticket to your destination rather than individual tickets for each part of your journey and we will work out the best route. Whether you require a simple point to point ticket or your journey is more complicated, with many stopovers en route, we will be more than happy to send you a detailed quotation.
Rail passes are available for each country in Europe, in most cases the InterRail range are the most suitable. InterRail passes are also available for the whole of Europe covering travel for up to a month. When travelling in Switzerland you can't beat the Swiss Pass. This pass offers unlimited travel on Railways, boats and most alpine postbuses. The Pass also allows free travel on public transport in 38 towns and cities.
Don't forget to ask for tickets from your home station. In most cases we can offer CIV tickets to London International. These fares, in addition to including the London Underground from your terminal station to London St Pancras, offer a level of flexibility and assurance that normal ATOC tickets don't. If your connecting train is late then Eurostar are bound by the International Conditions of Carriage (Convention Internationale pour le transport des Voyageurs or CIV) to carry you on the next available service.
Worldwide Tickets
Some of the most evocative images of travel are those of the great train journeys of the world. In Canada – The Rocky Mountaineer and Canadian; In Australia - The Ghan, The Indian Pacific and The Overland; In Russia - The Trans-Siberian and Trans Mongolian. Ffestiniog Travel can advise and book many of the iconic train journeys of the world. We are also UK Sales Agents for Japan Rail Passes. If you are contemplating touring a Continent or country and have considered rail as the most enjoyable and sustainable way to travel, why not discuss with us the various options available?
The www.myrailtrip.co.uk website is constantly changing, providing news updates on train travel and special offers.

I've been in this business for 357 years, but I can't recall a time when we've had more written about products that do not actually exist. We are truly living in the golden age of vaporware.
Exhibit A: This week TechCrunch's Michael Arrington caused a stir when he insisted -- really, he was almost banging his shoe on the table over it -- that Google would come out with its own cell phone, free and clear of any carrier. Per L'Arrington:
...there are a few things we have absolutely confirmed: Google is building their own branded phone that they'll sell directly and through retailers. They were long planning to have the phone be available by the holidays, but it has now slipped to early 2010. The phone will be produced by a major phone manufacturer but will only have Google branding.
Never mind that this would totally tick off all the handset manufacturers and telecoms that have partnered with Google on Android phones. Because, I guess, Google is just that stupid.
[ Stay up to date on Robert X. Cringely's musings and observations with InfoWorld's Notes from the Underground newsletter. ]
The reaction from most of the blogosphere was either a) Gee, there must really be a gPhone after all, or b) Is Arrington smoking crack?
PC Mag Editor in Chief Lance Ulanoff did not mince words in a rebuttal column:
If you say something, does it automatically make it so? Clearly, that's what TechCrunch's Michael Arrington thinks. Today, he proclaimed that "The Google Phone Is Very Real. And It's Coming Soon." The story outlines what TechCrunch has "absolutely confirmed" and then knits together a series of assumptions and possible clues into what appears to be a quilt of un-attributed fabrication.
And, because some people never truly graduated from junior high, Arrington responded via Twitter:
i'm seriously concerned for @lanceulanoff. If you're his friend, reach out to him. He needs to know someone loves him.

Men's basketball returns home Monday in Swisher

The JU men's basketball team will be at home Monday for the first time in nearly a month when it hosts Florida Christian College in Swisher Gymnasium at 7 p.m.
After playing the last six contests on the road, the Dolphins (3-5) will play five of the next seven games in Jacksonville. Monday's contest will also be the first of three this season for JU in Swisher Gymnasium.
"We are excited to play at home," JU head coach Cliff Warren said. "We have missed playing in front of our crowd these last two weeks. Our guys will be ready and prepared for the contest."
Last time out, the Dolphins erased a 15-point deficit at South Carolina State to tie it in the final seconds only to have the Bulldogs hit a tip in at the buzzer to escape with the 74-72 win.
Junior Dylan Fritsch had 14 points to lead the Dolphins at South Carolina State. Freshmen Kordario Fleming and Jarvis Haywood each had 13 points, while junior Javon Dawson finished with 10 points in the loss.
In the team standings, Haywood leads the Dolphins in scoring with a 10.9 average. Junior Keith McDougald is second with a 9.8 average, while Fritsch is at 8.9 after pacing the Dolphins in scoring the last two games.
The Suns (9-2) have won the last two contests entering Monday's matchup. Alex Sanchez (15.8) and AJ Williams (15.0) lead the Suns' offense, while Montique Lynch is third at a 12.9 average.
Florida Christian is JU's second opponent from the National Christian Collegiate Athletic Association (NCCAA) this season. The Dolphins beat Trinity Baptist College, 78-48, in the home opener on Nov. 13.

Osceola County's School District, and the county itself, are requesting $11 million in state money to build a facility to train firefighters.
Firefighters are currently trained at the school district's technology center, called TECO. We found classes in portables with a door literally tied shut, because it was broken. Osceola District Assistant Superintendent Tom Phelps says they cannot even complete training for potential firefighters at the current facility."Right now, for [firefighters] we offer EMT and Fire 1 training. They have to go to Orange County to receive the remainder of that training," said Phelps.The state funding would be used to create a new facility that Phelps says would be able to house all of their public safety training needs."This proposal would add a 3-story building which would house both criminal justice and fire and rescue for classroom space. We would also be adding a training tower, a 6 story training tower, as well as burn building and a mock fire station."The county has made it their top legislative priority for the session underway in Tallahassee. They want to train firefighters that currently have to go to Orange on that site. Kissimmee fire would use the complex as well if they can get the funding.

Quebec is the largest province in Canada and the only one with French as its official language. It takes its name from an Algonquin word meaning "narrows" where the St. Lawrence River cuts deeply through rock cliffs.
Quebec has strong nationalistic feelings about its identity within Canada and has almost seceded twice (in fact, Quebec has held two referendums in order to seperate but it was not THAT successful.. though in 1996 it was really close...). It recently (as of 2006) acquired symbolic status as a Quebecois nation within Canada.
Quebec was founded in 1763 when France signed Canada over to Britain; the ceremonial head of state is Queen Elizabeth II, and the country's government functions as a parliamentary democracy.
That being said, we are free to talk about poutine.
Poutine is an amazing gastronomic assault weapon invented by a truck driver in 1957. If the Abominable Snowman could be a food, it would be poutine. Poutine is the heavy artillery of the food domain.
Like the foundation to the house, the hull to the ship, like a Red Cross blood drive to Count Dracula, is poutine to Canadians.
Now let me stop here to tell you: this is not the only amazing food combination that a truck driver has come up with. In Pittsburgh there's a place called Primanti's that serves sandwiches with both french fries AND coleslaw piled on top. They're too big to pick up even with both hands. Legend has it that a trucker with no time to spare ordered a plate of food, mashed it all between two pieces of bread and took it on the road.
Well, poutine has a similarly glorious beginning except it's about sixteen million times better (and that's saying a lot).
A hungry truck driver came into Fernand LaChance's restaurant one day and ordered LaChance's special potatos and cheese curds combination. Then he asked for a side order of gravy and POURED IT RIGHT INTO THE BAG ON TOP OF THE FRIES!!!
The earth shook, stars fell from the sky and a few deep sea creatures stirred in the muck as he plunked down at a table, ripped the bag apart and ate the whole thing.
Thus poutine was born and it is here to stay, probably in your arteries somewhere next to the bacon. Empires may crumble and fall, mountains may wear down to dust, glaciers may creep across the face of the deserts but a Canadian's love for poutine will echo onward through the madness of space, for all time.
The End.

Czech Republic site superiphone.cz claims that it got hold of parts from the next-gen iPhone, but they've gone way beyond the analysis of sites like Gizmodo or Vietnamese sites taoviet and tinhte. Specifically, they've taken the screen from a next-gen iPhone, put it under a microscope (how cool is that), and counted the screen's RGB elements to figure out the screen's resolution.
By doing this, the Czech site has confirmed what we've "known" for a couple of months: the next iPhone will have a screen resolution of 960 x 640. This is quadruple the number of pixels on current iPhones, which have a screen resolution of 480 x 320. MacRumors notes this increases the pixel density to 320 dots per inch (dpi), much higher than the Motorola Droid's 265 dpi or Nexus One's 252 dpi.
Because the horizontal and vertical pixel density are exactly double that of current iPhones, scaling apps upward to fit the screen's new resolution will be even easier than the scaling that takes place for the iPad when running iPhone-optimized apps. For apps that do take advantage of the higher resolution (games are the first that come to my mind), the result will be graphics much crisper than anything we've seen before on a device this small.[Via Engadget]
