Believe it or not, I was so impressed with this series of videos that it was one of the reasons I started CampingSurvival.com. Being a former Marine and outdoors enthusiast, I greatly appreciate the excellent job Ron and Karen Hood do of sharing their vast knowledge of camping and survival skills. However, despite all that they teach in every video, I still find them to be very entertaining as well. These videos are so enjoyable that they make me long for Spring even before winter has started! Buy one and I guarantee you'll want to buy them all!

Lack of Super Bowl tickets, high price locks out many Seahawks season-ticket holderson January 20, 2014 @ 1:40 pm (Updated: 7:24 pm - 1/20/14 )
By Josh Kerns
The Super Bowl will arguably be the biggest game in Seahawks history. But many season-ticket holders who want to buy tickets have been shut out, while some of the lucky few say it's too expensive to attend.
Matt Brown, a season-ticket holder since 1996, was one of a select few who got a coveted email from the Seahawks Sunday evening letting him know he was chosen in a lottery to buy up to four Super Bowl seats for the game in New Jersey. But each ticket alone is $800. And then there's the travel.
"I went to Expedia and all those other sites and every time we hit refresh, the ticket prices for airfare were going up like $50 or $100 by the minute," Brown says. "We added everything up and it would be about a $7,500 weekend is what we came up with for my wife and I to go."
The Issaquah software developer says he and his wife talked for several hours Sunday night about whether it was worth it to just put all that on the credit card and pay it off over the course of the year.
Ultimately, between the cost and the fact the game is in New Jersey, rather than a warm weather destination like Miami or Arizona, they opted to watch from the comfort of their couch.
"Thirty-five degrees and snowing just doesn't sound like fun to watch the game," he laughs.
Plenty of other season-ticket holders, though, would gladly pay to take Brown's tickets off his hands.
"I went from jubilation last night to frustration. It's disheartening," says David Kearns, a five-year season-ticket holder who wasn't among the chosen few.
The Seahawks won't comment on how many tickets they were given by the league, but it's thought to be an extremely limited number. Season-ticket holders were told the team created a lottery with the number of entries based on the number of seats they have and the amount of years they've been season-ticket holders.
Kearns even bought plane tickets and booked a hotel months ago in hopes the Seahawks would make it to the Super Bowl. He says the league should give more tickets to the team first so the real fans can attend the game.
"I think unfortunately, corporations drive the market on this. I think it should be more like the bowl system, where the teams get thousands of tickets and then release them if they don't all sell. You can't tell me the Super Bowl still wouldn't sell out."
Kearns says he knows a number of season-ticket holders, none of whom were selected for the lottery either. And his company, which has eight seats, was also shut out.
Brown plans to sell his tickets to a friend who lives in New York, and feels bad for those like Kearns and the other season-ticket holders prevented from getting seats.
"And there's no way I can make it good for them and make it good for me without going into the secondary market, which to me, there's something kind of funny about that whole world."
Funny isn't the word most fans would use. The average ticket price on sites like StubHub is currently hovering around $4,000.
But Kearns says he'll begrudgingly pay whatever it costs to get to the game.
"It's only happened twice in my lifetime," he says. "I have to be there."

Business Traveler column: Every American will be thinking about 9/11/01 today, as newspapers and broadcast outlets are filled with tributes to one of the saddest days in American history. But David Grossman notes that business travelers have been reminded of that dreadful day on every trip they've taken during the past five years.Read More
Business Traveler column: Most airline and travel agency websites do not display sold-out flights. On just about every major travel booking website, flights disappear from the display as soon as the last seat is sold. This is a hazard of the Internet. I understand why most online travel retailers believe it's confusing to include sold-out flights, but as a frequent flier I want to see all my options in one place.Read More

ASIA/SRI LANKA-Proposal for an "anti-conversion Law"; Christians discriminated in building permits
Colombo (Agenzia Fides) - The request to enact an "anti-conversion law" makes a comeback on the public scene which forbids a citizen to change his/her faith, except in specific cases and with the permission of a magistrate . This is what the "Jathika Hela Urumaya" (JHU), ultra-nationalist, Sinhalese and Buddhist movement proposes, composed of many Buddhist monks, who for 7 years have made this proposal a tool for political rise, leading to elect nine monks in Parliament. In past days, inform local sources of Fides, the party renewed its campaign which sees in other religions "contamination for the country", urging the government to reinstate the prohibition of conversion. The request is of concern among the Christians in Sri Lanka, who support the freedom of conscience and religion of each individual, which the state cannot influence.
Another wake-up call for Christians in Sri Lanka, note sources of Fides, is the attitude of the Ministry of Religious Affairs, which has ordered the closure of "non-authorized churches" and continues to refuse the official registration, and denies planning permissions (also for civil buildings, not used for worship) whether the applicant is an individual or a Christian organization. The Ministry issued, last September, a circular letter which specifies that "the construction or maintenance of places of worship must have prior approval of the Ministry." According to Fides sources, it is mainly the evangelical Christian churches to face increased pressure in society, both by the state, with the closure of premises used as churches, but also by the Buddhist nationalist movements.

The very popular SiliconDust HDHomeRun DUAL High Definition Digital TV Tuner HDHR3-US (Black) is now being offered at $59.99

Amazon has dropped to this price a few times before but not usually for more than a day or so..
Product Features
Two Digital Tuners, Anywhere on Your Network
TV sources: ATSC digital TV (antenna), Unencrypted digital cable TV (Clear QAM)
Works with popular DVR software
Seamless operation with multiple computers
Requirements: Dual core recommended for HD playback, 1 GB RAM recommended, 1-4 GB per 1/2 hour of DTV recording
SDNew4You ( ) Mar. 29, 2013 at 10:28am
I would hope that they drop the price and keep it here. Bought one recently and even with good signal strength within our complex, the tuners could not scan the entire spectrum. And then, I could only watch a handful of scanned QAM channels. We are on a wide open system with no encryption and built in TV tuners work just fine.
SebastienB ( ) Mar. 29, 2013 at 10:36am
these are great!!!! I hooked it up to my SageTV Server and I have never has a problem. Calling the cable company to have it set it is not fun.
Ananke ( ) Mar. 29, 2013 at 12:24pm
Bought one for $59 from Rakuten deals two weeks ago. This is very good device, I get OTA and cable , integrates completely with Win 8 media center. $59 is the lowest I've seen. I will get second when the new one comes out - it is supposed to be mp4 compressed broadcast and DLNA.
FP sure for $59, I highly recommend for whoever doesn't have one yet.
nxsfan ( ) Mar. 29, 2013 at 12:28pm
Excellent device - I have the original and this version. The signal strength is better on the new one - probably because I have to use a passive splitter on the original version (2 inputs) as opposed to an internal active splitter on this one (1 input).
I think Ananke is right on though. Given the recent activity with the prime tuner it is likely they will ship a DLNA compliant version which is probably worth waiting for.

Not so long ago, in the mid-2000s, many conversations in offices, schools, and even parties centered around the exciting concept of radical openness made possible by then-new social media. But now, as the 2010s are in full swing and social media are established, dominant platforms, how can we--as designers, strategists, organizations, consumers, and individuals--best harness the widespread acceptance of radical openness? The recent TEDGlobal conference in Edinburgh, Scotland, offered a fascinating and widely varied lineup of speakers who, collectively, helped to answer this question. Or at least will help propel the discussion forward, long after the conference ended on June 29.
Four main themes emerged across five days of talks both on the TED stage and impromptu conversations around Edinburgh, among speakers and attendees. From the lips and minds of neuroscientists to educators, artists to activists, musicians to political theorists, the key points to emerge were:
- The act of making is a powerful learning process--for individuals and organizations. Making--as practiced in the truly do-it-yourself sense--can encourage people to better understand how the world works and consequently articulate their needs. The DIY movement is likely to result in more informed consumers who demand better products and services. Otherwise, they just might create them and compete in the marketplace themselves. And, may I add, makers often create cool, playful stuff quickly, because most DIY projects must take place urgently, in spare hours and minutes outside of official "work" time. Passion is essential, and that's always been the fuel for the most exciting new objects and ideas.
This idea echoed throughout a focused session on June 26 called "Tinker Make Do," featuring speakers such as Arduino creator Massimo Banzi and smart materials expert Catarina Mota, as well as in numerous other presentations. Ramesh Raskar, a researcher of camera technology at MIT's Media Lab said that he hopes "DIY will show us...the next dimension in imaging," for instance. Scarily, the world's criminals are using the maker's sensibility in very sinister ways to harness new technologies to cause mayhem and even kill--but acknowledging this phenomenon can help authorities outsmart them, said future crimes expert Mark Goodman. The power of making, empowered by online commerce, can be seen more abstractly in the idea of "Peers, Inc." presented by Zipcar and Buzzcar founder Robin Chase, who discussed how people are launching new DIY businesses among their friends to fill gaps not met by traditional companies, as well as profit from them as their personal networks are amplified thanks to social media.
- Play is a key ingredient to achieve success across nearly any discipline. Whether the goal is to overcome a personal health crisis, to conduct breakthrough scientific research, or to conceive and launch compelling design projects, approaching a desired outcome with a sense of humor and a dose of healthy competition is an advantageous strategy. Educational researcher Beau Lotto said in his talk that the best psychological and other experiments "are games," essentially. Harvard Business School professor Amy Cuddy discussed how "power posing"--or copying confident body language similar to that of Wonder Woman or Superman-- is proven to help in job interviews or sales meetings. Jane McGonigal, a game designer, discussed how she turned away from her own suicidal thoughts after a serious concussion by creating a game to beat the "bad guy" of her brain injury. John Maeda, president of the Rhode Island School of Design and a respected media artist and designer, discussed how executives can learn from the playful thinking of artists to re-think management in an era of heterarchies, not hierarchies.
- The ability to successfully manage change is one of the most valuable new skills for human beings, nations, and businesses to master in coming years. In a world with rapidly changing rules and a dramatically bumpy economy, not merely acknowledging change but learning to practically deal with it will become ever more important. Educational researcher Andreas Schleicher discussed on the TED stage how "success depends not on what we remember from school, but how prepared we for change." A similar point was made by business educator Eddie Obeng, who runs an online management school and cites IBM, Microsoft, Citigroup, and numerous other companies as his corporate clients. Organizations and individuals reluctant to change from yesterday's model of protecting intellectual property or keeping information private will struggle, unable to embrace the power of crowds and collective thinking, as Don Tapscott discussed in his talk.
- Openness is a starting point, not an end point. While the conference celebrated the promise of radical openness, many speakers discussed that it shouldn't be merely a noble final goal, but the beginning of an era of constantly improving communication, governance, science, medicine, culture, and business. Openness, many speakers suggested, has always been a human pursuit throughout history, and it has to be carefully analyzed and executed to be fruitful.
"Openness alone can't drive change," as Margaret Heffernan, management expert, said. "Constructive conflict is necessary...we must be willing to change our minds." Fascinatingly, design curator Deyan Sudjic presented a lovely talk in which he discussed how the concept of opacity in architecture may be a more appropriate physical metaphor for openness today than full transparent glass. Opacity, he stated, offers a "sense of possibility, with some ambiguity." Social media guru Clay Shirky weaved in and out of media history to discuss how radically open platforms, including Gutenberg's printing press, give new voice to the masses--but it's not always immediately a constructive phenomenon. Even back in 1499, erotic novels were published as books, a startling 150 years before the first scientific treatises were printed and distributed, Shirky said. "More media means more argument," Shirky also observed, acknowledging that instead of the "world peace" that the telegraph, the radio, and TV promised, the opposite (at least in terms of heated debate) followed nearly every new communications medium of the last century or so. And in a talk that's likely to be argued in lively debates, filmmaker Kirby Ferguson likened copying to the act of invention itself, suggesting ideas are meant to be shared, and those that are borrowed often are dubbed the best. Bob Dylan and Steve Jobs, he pointed out, were masters of re-interpreting the ideas of others. "Our creativity comes from without, not from within," he said--implying creation may just be a team sport.
On that note, it will be fascinating to see how these ideas and the many, many others presented and discussed at TED Global 2012 will spread, mutate, blossom, inspire, and transfer into fresh new projects and products, as well as address existing challenges. For the beauty of such a conference as TED is that it exemplifies the very themes it presents and promotes--game-changing concepts that its organizers, speakers, attendees, and extended community online believe can, and will, improve the world.

NY1's Budd Mishkin continues his series, "One On 1," with a profile of a man who has one of the most pressurized jobs in the city: New York Yankees manager Joe Torre.
Joe Torre probably has to answer more questions from people who are not his boss than anyone else in New York. But no matter how difficult the situation, or important the game, there are no questions Torre can be asked that are more painful than the ones he had to ask himself for much of his adult life. Questions like: "Why I had certain fears, even as an adult? Why I felt I was a failure even though I was a successful person?"
For many years it was a private battle, but two years ago, Joe Torre started talking publicly about the root of these fears - a childhood spent in a household where his father abused his mother.
"My mom was everything to me in terms of protecting and insulating me from a lot of the stuff that went on, and never would even hint that anything was going wrong even though she had some bruises on her face from time to time," he says.
Joe Torre started speaking about his experience, and created the Safe at Home Foundation to educate about domestic violence.
"The most positive thing - if there is a positive twist to witnessing domestic violence - is getting people to talk about it and acknowledge it," he says. "When I was growing up it was a very secret thing. We kept it inside our walls, behind our doors."
Safe at Home has raised more than $$2.5 million through dinners and private and corporate contributions, and a recent celebrity golf outing Torre co-hosted with his wife, Ali.
"When he first told me and chose this domestic violence as something that he wanted to make a difference in the community with, it was very emotional for me to look in his eyes and see the pain that he still carried with him," Ali says.
For Torre, that pain began at home in Brooklyn. He remembers his father, Joseph Torre, a New York City Police detective, hitting his mother.
"When I used to come home from school and saw my dad's car in front of the house I used to go off to a friend's house until he left for work," he says. "I felt I was safe to go home."
Torre says he was never hit by his father, but some of his memories of what happened in his Brooklyn home more than 50 years ago stay with him. He remembers his older sister arguing with their father, and she was holding a knife. The father reached for his gun in the drawer. Joe Torre, not even a teenager, defused the situation by taking the knife and putting it on the table.
To get away from scenes like this one, Torre took to the field.
"Playing different sports, yeah, it gave you a chance to hide out from reality," he says. "You were playing games, and that's the way you wanted it to be."
Torre would eventually leave home and begin an 18-year major league career in 1960, highlighted by an MVP season with the St. Louis Cardinals in 1971.
His father died the same year, but his effect on his youngest child would linger.
"When I hit into a double play to break up a rally or my hit or not getting a hit kept us from winning a ballgame, I'd live there, I'd drown there," he says. "And maybe it was my upbringing where I didn't feel l had a lot of success or I didn't handle pressure situations very well. Maybe I thought it was just me. I didn't really find out why I had a reaction to loud noises or crashing of something or a bell ringing until about nine years ago."
That's when Torre and his wife attended a life seminar in Cincinnati, just after he'd been named manager of the Yankees.
"I'm standing there in front of perfect strangers and I'm crying because I'm finding out why I have had certain feelings about the fears I had growing up, and fears I still had as an adult," he says. "And I realized it traced back to my dad's abuse and his presence in the house, and I was afraid all the time in that house."
It had been more than 20 years since his mother died, but the memories of what she endured starting flooding back.
"I called my sister Marguerite, who is a nun, and I asked, ÎHow much of that went on? Did dad hit mom?'" he says. "She said, ÎOh yeah, he punched her and did all that stuff,' and she was crying on the phone, and I was crying on the phone because all of a sudden I had this realization where all this fear was coming from."
Since creating Safe at Home, Torre has told his story at schools.
"I look out there and see a smattering of heads [nodding yes], like they sort of related to this," he says. "It choked me up somewhat, but you understand that it's going on all over the place."
Joe Torre and George Steinbrenner have been together since 1996, much longer than the owner's relationship with any other manager. And now they've appeared together in a commercial, no small feat considering their contentious relationship last season, when Torre initially thought that Steinbrenner was working to get him to quit.
"Once I found that out, that it was more George than any kind of preconceived plan, then I can pretty much [say it was] water off a duck's back, because that's the kind of emotional guy he is," he says. "But after what went on last year it would have been hard for me to fathom that I'd be [doing a commercial with him]."
Throughout his nine seasons with the Yankees, the primary praise for Torre has been his ability to handle the heat from the Boss while making marquis millionaire players buy into the "team first" concept.
"Personally, I always felt very close to the players," he says. "I always felt compassion for their problems and understanding them and understanding how they had to fight through certain things."
Torre's close relationship with his players was never more evident than near the emotional end of the 1999 season, when three players lost their fathers.
"Paul O'Neill was very unique because when his dad died it was right before Game Four of the World Series in 1999," he says. "When we recorded the last out of that ballgame, I remember on the mound I put my arms around him and he's crying on my shoulder. I come to find out later that I was sort of a father image to him. I was very sincere and feeling for them because it was something I didn't experience."
When Torre was hired in November of 1995, the Daily News greeted him with the headline "Clueless Joe." His first season as Yankees manager was an emotional rollercoaster for Torre: His brother Rocco died, and then all of New York watched as his brother Frank received a heart transplant.
The big city seemed like a small town. And then after losing the first two games, the Yankees came back to win their first world series in 18 years. Torre became the toast of the town.
"The first time it hit me was lighting the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center in December of 1996, and then walking from the show to the car, the people, looking at their faces, New Yorkers and visitors, and how I'm received. It was like I'm something extra special," he says.
In nine seasons as Yankees manager, Joe Torre has earned the respect of players, coaches, opponents, fans, and yes, maybe even George. We see him handling situations calmly, winning and losing, his boss' occasional outbursts, and a 1999 battle with prostate cancer.
"I was scared to death when you hear the word Îcancer,' and there I am sitting in the dugout in Toronto and Bernie Williams is hitting with the bases loaded and I'm ready to sell my soul for a base hit at this point," he says. "So the emotion comes back to you."
Torre came here after unremarkable stints managing the Mets, Braves and Cardinals. But his success in pinstripes may one day get him inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame.
But Torre says he has always been the same person, perhaps more confident now. His fame as Yankees manager has given him a large forum. People listen when he talks about domestic abuse, about prostate cancer, about the Red Sox.
"Baseball saved me," he says. "Baseball was the only life I ever wanted to lead. My brother Frank was certainly a role model for me. He started playing pro ball when I was 10-years-old, and it was a lifestyle I wanted, never dreaming of my brother frank as a big league player and I was going to follow and be a big league player too. But I've been blessed."

Poldark, Series 1 - DVD Review
By June L. Mar 2, 2010, 22:25 GMT
As seen on Masterpiece Theatre Romantic adventure, complete with raging ambition, terrible betrayals, frustrated loves, daring deeds, and a marvelously dashing hero The New York TimesHailed as a British Gone with the Wind, Poldark created a sensation on PBSs Masterpiece Theatre with its dashing, romantic hero and his infamous exploits. Based on the novels by Winston Graham, this classic miniseries demonstrates the enduring appeal of a gripping storyline and unforgettable ...more
In 1975, America was already in love with Masterpiece Theater productions, but when Poldark hit television screens there was an instant historical drama heartthrob to add to the programs many excellent virtues.
Actor Robin Elliss smouldering, intense portrayal of Capt. Ross Poldark was just one reason viewers tuned in to watch and were caught in the multi faceted and sweeping drama. Series 1 of this beloved story is now available on DVD from Acorn Media.
Captain Ross Poldark (Ellis) returns to Cornwall after the American Revolution, scarred in both body and spirits by the war and his escape from a French prisoner of war camp. Once home he finds that his father has died leaving the estate in a mess, and his fiancée is engaged to his cousin. Life doesnt seem to hold any good for Capt. Poldark and then his path is crossed by Demelza Carne (Angharad Rees). Demelza has had a hard life and is little more than an ill-bred urchin, but Poldark takes her into his household to be trained as a servant.
Besieged by problems within his family and in his world, Ross Poldark tries to make life better for those around him, but not always with success. His relationship with his former fiancée Elizabeth (Jill Townsend) is precarious, and his relationship with his cousin Francis is all but destroyed. He opposes the plans of wealthy George Warleggan and becomes an enemy to many who are in power, losing long-time friends and supporters as well.
On top of all the other troubles he find himself attracted to Demelza, who in spite of her bright spirit and quick wit, is still of a different class. There are as many twists and turns in the Poldark saga as there are in a daytime soap opera, but the passions are played against a background of historical facts, and never has history been more entertaining.
Author Winston Graham uses real life events to both set the stage and move the action forward in the seven novels from which the series is taken, and the result for television is one of great effect.
Viewers were entranced by Poldark. Americans were entering the celebration years of the Bi-Centennial, and here was a reverse of the story, a what happened to the other people saga. Captain Poldark had fought in the Revolutionary War against the Americans, but now we were seeing him in his own country and his place wasnt secure as a hero.
The love affairs vied with the political tensions for our interest. The injustices of life for the lower classes were heartbreaking, but then so were the mistakes made in good faith by those in power who wanted to do better. The story of the human condition was set in a small corner of England, and emphasized the fact that all life is a combination of good and bad.
The complex stories were well written and performed with a skill that made the characters live in the minds of viewers long after the series was finished.
Poldark Series 1 is presented on four discs containing four episodes each. The discs are housed in individual cases, illustrated with stills from the series and with synopses and program information for the episodes. Bonuses include historical background for Cornwall, and cast filmographies.
If you missed Poldark the first time around, now is your chance to get caught up in a saga that encompasses love, lust, greed, corruption, loyalty, betrayal, friendship and hatred.

Cisse eyes France World Cup squad
Djibril Cisse has set his heart on a return to the France squad after marking the start of a World Cup year with a transfer back to Ligue 1.
The former Auxerre, Liverpool, Marseille and Panathinaikos striker has joined mid-table club Bastia from Russian side Kuban Krasnodar, and is hoping to catch the attention of national coach Didier Deschamps before he settles on his squad for the summer tournament in Brazil.
– French striker Djibril Cisse
I think people know my character. I am a winner, very demanding and never satisfied.
I'm 32, I've been around a long time and I don't feel old at all. I have good years ahead of me and I'm going to do good things.
I still want titles and goals.
I have one objective that everyone knows about: I love the blue (of France) and I will do everything to get it.

Hi Can I read android .so shared library extension over airt native extension? I seen that it supports but I could not find any examples.
Hi Can I read android .so shared library extension over airt native extension? I seen that it supports but I could not find any examples
Hi Marin, As far as I know, you can read the .so shared libraries using ANE. ANE just wraps over existing native code like DLL for Windows, Framework on Mac. I will try and dig more into it and keep you posted.
Hi Sandy, thanks for your fast response. I did that, but it throws Linkage exception. What implies that the .so is not in classpath. So, I unziped the final AIR apk and saw that my .so libs are not there. If I somehow get them inside the APK it might work.
Hi Marin, I haven't done that myself before so I may have to ask a couple of folks around if they have experienced it before. Gimme a day or two and I will find out it it's supported or not.
Getting the .so file in the APK should not be a problem I guess, one can include it as just another asset in the app:// location.
Hey Sandy thanks very much for your effort. Considering getting .so into the .apk. I was able to get into the .apk but not into the lib folder of apk in order to be in classpath. Can you give me some hint how to do it?
Tks very much for post:
I like it and hope that you continue posting.
Let me show other source that may be good for community.
Source: Compliance officer interview questions
Best rgs
Hi Marin,
I confirmed with AIR guys and you can for sure use .so files with native extensions on Android. The following links should help you get started,
To put the .SO file in the right location refer to the document, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/extensions/WSf268776665d7970d-2482335412ffea65006-8000.html.
Hope this helps.
~ Sandeep
Hi Sandy,
Thanks very much, but it does not work this way. This way the libs are stored in ANE/Android-ARM/libs which does not work. However, there is a way. I unpacked the apk and added libraries to main lib folder and then sign it. This way it is too time consuming. If there is easier way please inform me. Thanks
Hi Marin,
Let me check with the AIR folks again on the same and see if there is a straight forward solution to this or not.
~ Sandeep
I would also appreciate an answer to this question. I have a .jar file which is providing the implementation for an extension, but that .jar then in turn makes use of native code in an .so and I'm looking for a way to get the 2 versions of that .so into
Hi Matt,
I will try and find out the answer to the same.
Marin, sorry but I haven't yet heard from other folks on the solution. Will ping them again.
~ Sandeep
How did you sign your APK? I've tried the same thing you mentioned about unzipping the apk, adding the files, then re-zipping - but there is some sort of signing problem because the updated APK complains at runtime that there are no certs.
Did you have to do anything unusual to get the re-sign working correctly?
hi all
i have some same related problem
i have managed to place a .so file inside the ANE
and i use the code
to use it
but it fails to find it at runtime
i think it is not looking on the current folder for it
any ideas?
I had the same problem until I updated my build script to copy the .so files into the build folders that are operated on under ADT.
< !-- Copy Android lib in binaries folder -->
< target name="androidCopy" depends="androidExport">
< copy file="${ANDROID_LIB_PATH}" todir="${BINARIES_FOLDER}/Android"/>
< copy todir="${BINARIES_FOLDER}/Android/libs/armeabi-v7a">
< fileset dir="${ANDROID_LIBS_FOLDER}/armeabi-v7a" />
< /copy>
< copy todir="${BINARIES_FOLDER}/Android/libs/armeabi">
< fileset dir="${ANDROID_LIBS_FOLDER}/armeabi" />
< /copy>
< /target>
Then make sure you see the .so files in the ANE that was compiled.

ITHACA, N.Y. - Now you don't see it. Now, you do.
And now you don't see it again. Astronomers have discovered a bright, mysterious geologic object - where one never existed - on Cassini mission radar images of Ligeia Mare, the second-largest sea on Saturn's moon Titan. Scientifically speaking, this spot is considered a "transient feature," but the astronomers have playfully dubbed it "Magic Island."
Reporting in the journal Nature Geoscience June 22, the scientists say this may be the first observation of dynamic, geological processes in Titan's northern hemisphere. "This discovery tells us that the liquids in Titan's northern hemisphere are not simply stagnant and unchanging, but rather that changes do occur," said Jason Hofgartner, a Cornell University graduate student in the field of planetary sciences, and the paper's lead author. "We don't know precisely what caused this 'magic island' to appear, but we'd like to study it further."
Photos and video: https://cornell.box.com/magicisland
Titan, the largest of Saturn's 62 known moons, is a world of lakes and seas. The moon - smaller than our own planet - bears close resemblance to watery Earth, with wind and rain driving the creation of strikingly familiar landscapes. Under its thick, hazy nitrogen-methane atmosphere, astronomers have found mountains, dunes and lakes. But in lieu of water, liquid methane and ethane flow through riverlike channels into seas the size of Earth's Great Lakes.
To discover this geologic feature, the astronomers relied on an old technique - flipping. The Cassini spacecraft sent data on July 10, 2013, to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the California Institute of Technology for image processing. Within a few days, Hofgartner and his colleagues flipped between older Titan images and the newly processed pictures for any hint of change. This is a long-standing method used to discover asteroids, comets and other worlds. "With flipping, the human eye is pretty good at detecting change," said Hofgartner.
Prior to the July 2013 observation, that region of Ligeia Mare had been completely devoid of features, including waves.
Titan's seasons change on a longer time scale than Earth's. The moon's northern hemisphere is transitioning from spring to summer. The astronomers think the strange feature may result from changing seasons.
In light of the changes, Hofgartner and the other authors speculate on four reasons for this phenomenon:
"Likely, several different processes - such as wind, rain and tides - might affect the methane and ethane lakes on Titan. We want to see the similarities and differences from geological processes that occur here on Earth," Hofgartner said. "Ultimately, it will help us to understand better our own liquid environments here on the Earth."
In addition to Hofgartner, Cornell authors include: Alex Hayes, assistant professor of planetary sciences; Jonathan Lunine, professor of physical sciences; and Phil Nicholson, professor of astronomy. A portion of the research was performed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, under a contract with NASA.

Baltimore Felon Exiled to 10 Years in Prison for Possessing a Gun
Defendant Tried to Escape by Jumping in Patapsco River
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge William D. Quarles, Jr. sentenced Anthony Wiggins, age 32, of Baltimore, Maryland, today to 10 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release for being a felon in possession of a gun. Judge Quarles enhanced Wiggins' sentence upon finding that he attempted to escape arrest and attempted to assault police officers in connection with his possession of a firearm.
The sentence was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein; Special Agent in Charge Theresa R. Stoop of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives - Baltimore Field Division; Baltimore City State's Attorney Patricia C. Jessamy; and Baltimore Police Commissioner Frederick H. Bealefeld III.
According to facts presented at Wiggins' plea hearing, on September 16, 2009 Baltimore City Police officers stopped a taxi with broken rear tail lights in which Wiggins was a passenger. As the officers approached the taxi, Wiggins made several movements as if he were armed. When the officers asked Wiggins to exit the vehicle, they saw a handgun in Wiggins' waistband area. As Wiggins exited the vehicle, he pushed one of the officers. During the ensuing struggle, Wiggins reached for his handgun. The officers recovered two loaded semi-automatic pistols. Wiggins continued to fight. Two bail bondsmen, who happened to be passing by, assisted the officers in subduing Wiggins. The officers arrested Wiggins and seized $4,750 from him.
Later, Wiggins claimed he was injured so officers took him to Harbor Hospital. As he was getting out of the police wagon, Wiggins broke free frompolice officers, ripped off his flexcuffs, and ran away, eventually jumping into the Patapsco River. Wiggins swam away from law enforcement, but eventually swam back to shore where he was taken back into police custody.
Wiggins had previously been convicted of illegal possession of a handgun and assault with a deadly weapon and was prohibited from possessing a gun.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commended the ATF, the Baltimore City State's Attorney 's Office and the Baltimore City Police Department for their work in this investigation and prosecution. Mr. Rosenstein thanked Assistant United States Attorney Kwame Manley, who prosecuted the case.

My Doctors Don't Agree on my Meds! What to Do?
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 03-29-2013 - 8:52pm
I have been seeing a doc at my local low cost clinic since Jan. She is the first doc to dx me w/fibro after nearly 2 years of being ill. B/f that I was told it was all in my head and was ref to my local mental health clinic where the psych put me on Paxil. The doc at the low cost clinic can't prescribe ADs so she has requested me to get my psych to change me to Cymbalta instead.
The psych refuses to do so b/c my "mood is so much better" and this is after two tries including a letter from my other doc saying I have fibro w/CFS and need either Cymbalta or Effextor b/c Paxil is sedating and may be contributing to my fatigue. My psych refused again at a second appt and has now dropped me as a patient, I believe as a result of her feeling "second guessed" by my new doc.
The next psych appointment through the system isn't until June. Assuming that new doc will do so, I will have to taper Paxil for a month and then wait for Cymbalta to start being effective (so *maybe* by Aug I might feel better!). I started the process w/mental health in Nov and since I am unemployed/uninsiured I don't have many options. It just seems to strange to have to "wait" a total of nine months to get the right med.
I feel as if I am being held hostage on Paxil by the psych as she clearly does not "believe" in fibro and isn't interested in helping me w/it.
Has anyone experienced anything similar? Any suggestions on a step b/t now and June b/c it seems so far from now.
TY for reading!

It just seems so wrong...
While their egos are bruised you are left in limbo basically abandonned, so not right.
I am so sorry that you are going through this.

It stinks when doctors are more interested in being "right" than treating you. However, Cymbalta isn't a miracle cure for fibro, has a lot of side effects, and is HUGELY expensive. I think it's around $1.50/pill or more, if I'm not mistaken, possibly more? There are a lot of people I've heard from on this board that tried Cymbalta with very bad results, and others who were helped by it. LIke all meds for fibro, no two people react the same, so there's no magic formula for making you feel better, sadly. If your depression is well controlled by the Paxil, changing your meds could make it worse than it was to begin with, so that's one consideration your psych doc had. I suspect the DR you are seeing at the low cost clinic is either a Nurse Practitioner or a PA, and maybe not an MD, if she can't prescrive AD?? I ask because there are a lot of different things you can do to feel better with fibro, and most docs are very reluctant to change an antidepressant that's working, especially for a drug with worse side effects that you wouldn't be able to afford or get at a low cost; to them, it wouldn't make sense. I'm not saying it's right, but from their perspective, it's not the best thing for you.
What symptoms are you having now, besides the fatigue? What other things have you tried so far to get yourself feeling better? I ask because there are many, many things you can do, besides medications, that will help, and many other medications that can improve your symptoms while you wait for your next appointment. For example, have you been tested for vitamin deficiencies, like D and iron? How's your sleep? Diet? Do you exercise? Take any herbs? A lot of people are lucky enough to take very few meds, if any, with diet, exercise, herbs, meditation, and good sleep habits. I'm not one of them, sadly, but I am able to get by with Tramadol for pain and flexeril for sleep as my only fibro meds. Both are very inexpensive and effective, with few side effects, though with tramadol, the side effects are a plus for me, since one of them is that it tends to keep you AWAKE, so I actually feel more alert and energetic when I take it, just not around bedtime, lol.
I think, in your situation, financially, etc, the best bet is to explore some other options for improving your fibro symptoms and trying not to get too stressed out or upset about having to wait so long. Check out some of the articles here on iVillage about treatments for fibro and try some or all of the things you CAN do, like changing your diet, sleep habits, and exercise while you wait. It may seem lame, but to be honest, those are the things that are most important to your feeling better, and YOU are the one in control of those as well. If you have an questions, please don't hesitate to ask. We're here for each other. (((HUGS)))

Dealing a blow to the TRS, the party MP from Medak, M. Vijayashanti, is likely to quit and join the Congress, with the Congress Working Committee clearing the formation of Telangana.
Sources close to her said she was camping in Delhi and strongly lobbying for joining the Congress. Ms. Vijayashanti was reportedly having differences with party president, K. Chandrasekhar Rao over contesting from Medak.
For the last few months now, she had been openly asserting that 'no force on earth can prevent me from contesting from the Medak Lok Sabha seat again in the 2014 elections as long as the peoples' blessings are with me." She made this statement when reports appeared in a section of the media stating that Mr. Rao was planning to contest from Medak. It was also reported that TNGO president G. Devi Prasad Rao was also eyeing the same seat.
"Not only Ms. Vijayashanti but some other leaders from the TRS are in touch with the Congress leaders to join that party in view of their political future," observed a former TRS leader from Medak district. Ms. Vijayashanti was not available for comment.
"The month of August will witness a lot of political developments in the State and more particularly in Telangana. However, we are not sure which political party will benefit from it," said a senior TRS leader on condition of anonymity.

In this "Dinosaur Train" game, kids try to estimate the length of various dinosaurs using modern animals as non-standard units of measurement. It shows that dinosaurs were different sizes and had different names, that large objects can be measured with non-standard objects, that a hypothesis can be tested by measuring, and that measuring with non-standard objects requires counting.

One of the many things I learned in the the cookbook writing process was how to spell "vinaigrette". It's one of those words that looks wrong even when it is right so thank you, eagle-eyed editors. Here's the recipe - it has garlicy, sweet and sour notes which you can adjust by using more or less dark chocolate.
