"Finally after 1.03 it launches on my GS3, and it plays great, even better with a MOGA controller. I have to keep the resolution low to be able to play it at a good frame rate but still. San Andreas on a phone. What an age we live in." -Patrick Cadwell
"Most recent update corrected the crashing issue on my Nexus 5. Hoping future patches will improve stability. Touch controls are like the other GTA releases on Android. If you've played them, you'll have no issue controlling CJ. If you haven't, there will be a slight learning curve, but nothing that will make the game impossible to play. Fingers crossed for a GTA IV on Android in a few years" -Brandon VanWyck
"I downloaded the apk and cache files and this version is working fine on my s4" -Apkradar user
"Update 1.03! Game plays fine so far on maxed-out settings (Note 3). Controls will take a bit to get used to but the fact you can play San Andreas on a phone makes it worth the $7 price. The graphics are actually an upgrade over PS2. If you are a GTA fan, I'd get this. Considering the freemium trend in mobile gaming, this is a no brainer. I would recommend Max Payne mobile as well." -Joshua Fowler
"Ever since the GTA games were on the PSP, I desperately wanted a portable version of San Andreas. And now we finally have it! The game plays amazingly well on my Nexus 7 and I'm even able to play it on my "unsupported" Evo" -V James Baker
"After the 3rd update it works fine on my nexus 4. The controls are way to small at first but are adjustable. It seems like a great game so far. I really enjoyed Vice City so hopefully this on will be just as good." -Felix D
"It finally works. Gameplay is okay. It's a bit choppy occasionally, and I have inconsistent textures. Some of them are very highly detailed, and others (such as the moon) are incredibly low resolution and pixelated." -Alex Paul
"GTA SA runs brilliantly now. The controls are nice and work pretty well even on my now older galaxy S2 with the smaller screen, so people with newer phones and bigger screens should have no problems. entire radio stations are there, map usage is great. Basically this is the best game on android so far. a massive technical achievement." -Jason Groombridge

Kilauea Volcano Eruption
Photograph by Tim Wright, AP
Scientists in helicopters survey lava rising from a crater floor on Hawaii's Kilauea volcano (see map) on March 6.
The volcano's Pu'u 'O'o crater collapsed on Saturday, and a 0.33-mile-long (0.5-kilometer-long) fissure ripped open on a separate region of the volcano. The new vent has since been sporadically erupting lava up to 80 feet (25 meters) high, according to the Hawaii Volcano Observatory, which is run by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS).
A fissure opening in this area is not unusual—a similar event occurred in 1997, according to John Eichelberger, coordinator for the USGS Volcanic Hazards Program.
In fact, Kilauea is the world's most active volcano, and it has erupted 34 times since 1952, according to the observatory. Kilauea has been erupting consistently since January 1983, during which time the volcano has spewed at least 0.5 cubic mile (2 cubic kilometers) of lava, Eichelberger said.

—Christine Dell'Amore

Hawaii Lava Chain

The lava flowing from Pu'u O'o crater (pictured March 6) shows no signs of stopping, Eichelberger said.
Meanwhile, the new erupting fissure ripped open on the volcano's eastern flank in what's called a rift zone—an area of underground, lava-filled cracks that radiate from Kilauea's central chamber of molten rock, he said.
Eichelberger added that the crater collapse and fissure were not surprises, as observatory scientists monitoring the volcano had noticed changes in their seismic data a few hours before the crater collapsed.

Kilauea's Collapsed Crater

The Pu'u 'O'o crater floor dropped at least 377 feet (115 meters) during Saturday's collapse, according to new measurements.
As of Sunday, occasional rock cascades were the only signs of activity—other than lava flows—within the crater, according to the volcano observatory.
(See more Hawaii volcano pictures.)

Sluggish Lava

Lava flows from Pu'u 'O'o were active but sluggish Sunday, according to the observatory.
It's unknown whether the lava is residual material that's draining through the underground tube system or if the flow is still being supplied by lava from the crater, scientists say.
"In any case, the new outbreak has robbed Pu'u 'O'o of at least some of its lava supply from the summit," Eichelberger said.
Once thought to be a satellite of its giant neighbor Mauna Loa, scientists now know Kilauea has its own magma-filled plumbing system, which extends to the surface from more than 37 miles (60 kilometers) deep in the Earth.

Pu'u 'O'o crater (seen in a file picture) is located in a remote section of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, which has been temporarily closed to the public due to the recent activity.
However, you can still get a front-row seat for the Kilauea volcano eruptions via the USGS observatory's live webcam.

Simple custard is a perfect way to experiment with flavor. In the restaurant we have served several versions of this dessert, including chocolate orange and vanilla bean, but our lavender crème brûleé brings our guests back. As you crack through the thin layer of sugar and take your first taste, you will be delighted by the unexpectedly perfumed flavor and velvety texture of this custard.
- 1Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- 2Place the cream and milk in a saucepan and add the lavender. Bring to a boil and turn off the heat. Let the lavender stems steep for about 15 minutes or until the milk has a lavender flavor. (For a stronger flavor, allow to steep longer.) Meanwhile, beat the egg yolks, the 1/2 cup sugar, and the honey until smooth. Whisk into the lavender-cream mixture. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and skim off any foam. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- 3Pour the mixture into 6 ramekins or crème brûleé dishes. Set the ramekins in a baking dish and add enough hot water to reach halfway up the sides of the ramekins. Cover the baking dish with foil and place in the oven. Bake for 40 minutes or until set. (Test for doneness by jiggling the ramekins.) Remove the baking dish from the oven and allow the ramekins to cool in the water bath for 5 minutes. Refrigerate for a few hours or overnight.
- 4Before serving, sprinkle the tops with a thin layer of sugar and caramelize with a small torch or under a broiler set on high. Garnish each crème brûleé with lavender blossoms.
Beverage pairing: Late-harvest Viognier.

The top executive at The Hartley Co. credits its more than 140 years of success in business to one factor. "First and foremost, I think we've had a long line of leaders that have maintained a high level of integrity throughout our years of business, and that's what's kept us in good relations with vendors and suppliers," President Doug Hartley says. "Integrity is the most important thing to us; we've made it this long being honest, having integrity and doing what we say we're going to do."
With the proliferation of digital cameras, social media networks and photography apps that allow users to alter images with the flick of a finger, anyone can play memory-maker with their phones, tablets or computers.

The life of Carroll Shelby, that farmer turned icon, may soon be told on the big and small screens. His life was recounted by Wallace A. Wyss in the 2007 biography "Shelby: The Man, The Cars, The Legend," which provided the base for the in-production drama miniseries, "The Drivers."

BigD theaters – the 'D' stands for dimensional sight, dynamic sound and deluxe seating – are in 14 markets, but in terms of the regions in which Carmike locates its cinemas, small to mid-size is typically better.

His firm installed a few systems that were typically used at the time to count the number of customers in stores and malls so he could learn how they worked. He learned that they did not work very well.
Already the largest independently owned wine, beer and spirits retailer in the United States, Total Wine & More has big plans for 2012. Vice President of Customer Experience Steve Faith says the company plans to enter three big new markets this year: Dallas; Seattle; and Spokane, Wash. Combined with the 78 stores the company already has in 11 states, Faith says Total Wine & More expects its new locations to carry it to the next level after it reached a pair of monumental milestones in 2011.
Who would have ever thought that something called the "garbage bowl" would become a household name? And it's not solely because the person who created it, Rachael Ray, possesses a household name herself. The garbage bowl, that sturdy dish sitting in the middle of the counter where the onion peels and sausage wrappers get dumped, saves the busy home cook precious time by cutting out the unnecessary trips back and forth to the garbage can or a big clean up afterward. The efficiency of the garbage bowl makes it a useful or even essential kitchen item for many home chefs.
A diversified premier apparel company, Hybrid Apparel has grown from its roots as a t-shirt shop into a private-label and licensing distributor serving men, women and children. Based in the United States, the company services all tiers and trade channels of distribution, as well as large and small retailers.

Star Trek was not a sexist show. It was in fact an anti-sexist show. In TOS, women were respected, and well represented. We met female queens, priestesses, soldiers, warriors, villains, and heroines. Virtually all of the Star Trek women had careers, and were self-supporting. Working women in the TOS universe are the norm, not the exception.
Sexist, no, sexy, yes! In TOS, women didn't have to choose between being good but sexless, or sexy but bad. The heroines, queens and warriors etc. of TOS were sexy, too, and that was OK.
It was beyond OK: it was revolutionary. You see, the sexiness of the TOS women was meant to represent sexual liberation. In the future, the women are as sexually free as the men are.
The relationship between the sexes was very interestingly portrayed in the original Star Trek. This was an important part of Gene Roddenberry's overall vision of a possible future society.
One complaint TOS critics voice about TOS is that they think the women's uniforms are too sexy. The fact that the women's tunics are really short and that the women of the TOS crew are therefore always showing lots o' leg really bugs some people. Some people say TOS is "non-PC" because the women look sexy to us. I'd like to speak to this.
First of all, short-short mini-dresses were the fashion rage at the time TOS was being produced, so to the audience of the day, it wasn't that shocking. I remember buying dresses for school that were so short that they were sold with matching panties. Big whoop! What was shocking was that panty-hose didn't come into common use until a year or two after the hemlines rose. Us teen schoolgirls were begging our mothers for the fancy new short-short panty girdles to hold our hose up, so we could wear the new fashions without showing two inches of lace and spandex below the hem. Boys reacted to the sight of this bit of lace the way bulls react to red flags, and we were concerned about arousing them unduly, especially during school hours.
In any case, the sexy clothes, etc. of the Star Trek women actually represents sexual self-expression. Those women are unashamededly sexy, for their own reasons, and they bloody well, ding-dong know what they are doing. They are using their beauty and sexual power for their own purposes.
Now look: people of the future, like people of any time and place you can name, will think things are sexy or not sexy depending on how they are socialized. It's pretty clear that TOS-era men and women are 100% casual about the sight of women's bare legs, to such an extent that the military issues these skimpy uniforms. The military of the future is as likely to play a leadership role in fashion as they do now. It's safe to assume that, to TOS-era people, bare legs for women is considered to be a practical and conservative mode of dress, the way long skirts seemed practical to women and men of the 1800's.
Have you ever tried walking up a flight of stairs in a long, full skirt? No way is *that* practical for military women.
So why don't the women of TOS wear trousers? First of all, some do. Second, trousers are primarily for men. The sexes still like to distinguish themselves with their mode of dress in the 2200s, and apparently they use skirts to do it.
Why should the women conceal their legs if it's not considered immodest to display them? In tropical climates among simple native peoples, the only difference between the men and women is men wear breechcloths and women don't, or men and women wear their beads differently. In some societies women can run around perfectly naked, and be considered perfectly decent as they do so. If people can do that now, why not 200 years from now?
TOS women aboard the starship live in a cozy climate-controlled environment, and they are surrounded by nothing but decent, respectful men who are their buddies and comrades. What do they have to worry about?
I'll tell you what they worry about: they worry about how to make the men look at them as if they are women, and not just buddies and comrades. In "Miri" Yeoman Rand tearfully confesses to Kirk that she has wanted him to look at her legs. What she means by this is she wants him to see her as a woman, not just as a person. She has to ASK him to look: to see her that way.
Apparently TOS men are so inured to the sight of women's bare legs that they don't even think of them as sexy. What makes a TOS-era woman sexy to their men, then, if displaying their gams doesn't do it?
Apparently TOS women have to be assertive. The men aboard the Enterprise need situational and behavioral cues to release their inhibitions. They need a party, or a romantic setting. They also need the women to behave flirtatiously. If a woman behaves in a matter-of-fact fashion, the men respond in kind, but if she flirts with her eyes and/or adopts an inviting tone of voice and manner, the guys just light up and everything changes.
It's interesting to note that a TOS man is careful to remain neutral toward a woman if she's not specifically flirting with him.
The women of "Mudd's women" were outlandish mainly because they acted flirtatiously with everybody (except Eve, who was a little more conservative). As a consequence, guys were swooning all around them. I KNOW there was a drug involved, but that same episode at the climax made the point that it mostly was thanks to *attitude*, not the drug. The drug made the women feel sexy, so they acted sexy, and the men responded accordingly.
TOS men often immediately flirt back if they are flirted with, but not always. They reserve the right to not flirt back. If a guy doesn't like a girl "that way", or if he's not in the mood, then he doesn't flirt back and that is the end of it. Unless the woman is a savage.
When the famous green chick, Marta, in "Whom Gods Destroy" was all over Kirk, he did not flirt back. What was horrifying is that she didn't take the hint. That's how you knew she was savage, or crazy, or (as it turned out) both.
IMHO, in "City on the edge of forever", Kirk never made it past first base with Edith Keeler because their two different courtship styles clashed. She played cool and kept him at arm's length because, where she comes from, women are passive and men are supposed to be the aggressors. Kirk didn't push because, where he comes from, a guy doesn't move on a lady until she gives him a clear sign that she expects him to. Neither one of them were getting the cues they needed to give the other the green light, so they were deadlocked, despite a fierce mutual attraction.
NOTE: The two times that Kirk has sex in TOS (with Mirimanee, and with Deela), he is not the sexual aggressor. The situation was created for him, and he just reacts to it. It isn't the woman's state of dress or undress that matters. The situation, and the woman's attitude is what matters. In each case it's very clear the woman invited his embrace.
In the future depicted in Star Trek, it's the women who control the sexual action. The few exceptions we see (example, Space Seed's traitor Marla McGivers) are clearly aberrant.

Now connect the ESC+converter+motor to the mcpx 3 in 1 board.
Again, using the foam pad to mount the ESC to the 3 in 1. You want the
converter LED facing out.
==== Edit for programming ESC ================
Skip this part if you don't need to program your ESC.
If you want to program the ESC. You need to have the heli
bind to the TX first before power on the ESC. So solder the
yellow signal wire guide by the next post. Then solder
the male battery plug in the front of the 3 in 1. Just the same
spot as the where the ESC power line is going to connect.
Now you can power on the heli first. Wait until the heli bind
to the TX then connect the male plug to the ESC battery plug.
That should able to get you into the programing mode.
Sorry I don't have a picture of doing the ESC programing.
Cut the ESC battery plug. Solder the ESC power line to the 3 in 1
power line in the front of the board.
Connect the battery to 3 in 1 to verify the ESC power line solder
correctly. The ESC should initialed with tune and red LED on converter
should come up with the blue LED in 3 in 1 board.
Again, if you connect the yellow line to the positive power, the motor
should turn in full throttle.
Almost there. Just one more soldering to do.

Harry Houdini's Minute Repeating Triple Calendar Chronograph Pocket Watch For Sale Tomorrow At Bonhams
Did you know Harry Houdini has ties to watchmaking? He does. In fact, he named himself after French clockmaker Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin - Houdini was actually worn as Erik Weisz. It turns out, he happened to own a rather impressive timepiece as well - a minute repeating chronograph with triple date and moonphase. The watch was presented to Houdini from his early manager and friend Harry Day, and the inside of the hunter-style case is engraved as such. The watch is not signed by a manufacturer, though.

Theory and speculation, both finally materialize - an 0bay auction for security vulnerabilities was recently launched, aiming to reboot the currently not so financially favorable for researchers full disclosure model, and hopefully, create a win-win-win solution for Wabisabilabi, the vendors and the researchers themselves :
Back in December, 2005, the infamous WMF vulnerability got sold for $4000 to be later on injected into popular sites, and embedded whereaver possible. The idea behind this attack? Take advantage of the window of opportunity by the time a patch by Microsoft is released, but instead of enjoying the typical advantage coming from full disclosure exploit and vulnerabilities sites, the attackers went a little further, they also wanted to make sure that the vulnerability wouldn't even appear there at the first place. And while it later became a commodity, WMF DIY generators got released for the script kiddies to generate more noise and the puppet masters to remain safe behind a curtain of the click'n'infect kiddie crowd.
Several months later, hinted by a person whose the perfect representation of the phrase "Those who talk know nothing, those who don't talk they know" tipped me on a zero day shop site -- The International Exploits Shop -- that was using a push-model that is a basic listing of the vulnerabilities offered and the associated prices, even taking advantage of marketing surveys to figure out the median price customers would be willing to pay for a zero day vulnerability.
Commercializing vulnerability research the way the company is doing it, will inevitably demonstrate the lack of communication and incentives model between all the parties in question. Moreover, if you think that a push-model from the researcher compared to a pull one, even on demand is better think twice - it isn't. If I'm a vendor, I'd request a high profile vulnerability to be found in my Internet browser in the next two months and offer a certain financial incentive for doing so, compared to browsing through listings of vulnerabilities in products whose market share is near the 1%. For the computer underground, or an information broker, there's no such thing as a zero day vulnerability because they understand the idea that in times when everyone's fuzzing more effectively than the vendors themselves, or transparency and social networking has never been better, a zero day to some is the last month's zero day to others.
Questions remain :
- how do you verify a vulnerability is really a zero day, when infomediaries such as iDefense, Zero Day Initiative or Digital Armaments delay "yesterday's" security vulnerability or keep you in a "stay tuned" mode? How can you be sure you as an infomediary are not part of a scheme that's supplying zero days to both the underground and you?
- why put an emphasis on something's that's a commodity, but forgetting that closing a temporarily opened up window of opportunity posed by today's zero day will lose its value in less than a minute by the time an IDS signature takes care of it while a patch is released? In exactly the very same fashion of malicious economies of scale, a stolen personal and financial information is lossing value so that the attackers are trying to get rid of it as soon as possible, by the time it value doesn't decrease to practically zero. Stay tuned for a zero day vulnerabilities cash bubble.
- how do you put a value on a vulnerability and what is your criteria? Of course, monocultural OSs get a higher priority, but does this mean that a zero day in MAC would get more bids because of the overall perception that it's invincible and the verification of such vulnerability would generate endless media echo effect, while someone's checking your current zero day propositions to see if the one he came across is still not listed there? For instance, Wabisabilabi have posted a Call for iPhone vulnerabilities in the first days of their launch.
Theoretically, if everyone starts selling zero day vulnerabilities they find, there will be people who will superficially increase a zero day's value by holding it back and keeping quiet for as long as someone doesn't find it as well. Here's an interview I took from David Endler at the Zero Day Initiative you may find informative, and more opinions on the topic - Computerworld; Dark Reading; Slashdot; The Register; TechTarget; Heise Security; Techcrunch, and an interesting quote from a BBC article that the initiative is aiming to limit the flow of vulnerabilities to the underground :
"By rewarding researchers, the auction house aims to prevent flaws getting in to the hands of hi-tech criminals."
It would have absolutely zero effect on the flow of vulnerabilities in computer underground circles, mostly because if someone likes the idea of getting a one time payment for its discovery, others would get a revenue stream for months to come by integrating it into the underground ecosystem. Even the average MPack attack kit, compared to others I've seen showcases the reality - a huge number of people are infected and no zero day vulnerabilities are used but ones for which patches are available for months. Moreover, they don't just buy stockpiles of zero day vulnerabilities, but are actively discovering new ones as well and holding them back for as long as possible as I've already mentioned.
And another one from CNET :
"WSLabi is backed by about 5 million euros ($6.8 million) from individual investors, and hopes to float on a stock exchange (probably London's AIM or a similar exchange in Oslo) in around 18 months."
Is this for real, and if so, it makes it yet another investment in the information security market to keep an eye on in the very same fashion I've been following and speculating on SiteAdvisor's eventual, now real acquisition. But WSLabi's road to an IPO would be a very, very bumpy one. Everyone's excluding the obvious, namely that the biggest and most targeted vendors could ruin WSLabi's entire business model by starting to offer financial incentives let's call them for zero day vulnerabilities, or perhaps keep it pragmatic, namely ignore the fact that someone's trading with zero days regarding their products mainly because the vendors cannot be held liable for not providing patches in a timely manner or not reacting to the threat.
Two projects worth considering are the ElseNot one, listing exploits for every Microsoft vulnerability ever, and eEye's Zero Day Tracker, keeping track of unpatched vulnerabilities. Make sure what you wish for, so it doesn't actually happen.

Five great investment moves for 2011
Take these steps to clean up your portfolio, lower your investment risk and position your nest egg for new gains
Ron Phillips
There is no better time than the new year to groom your portfolio. We have already had a few good years in the stock market and some great years in the metal and bond markets. Now may be the time to consider some of these steps.
I hope 2010 left you with some good gains on your investments. A key to locking in those profits is re-balancing. For example, if you have $10,000 in a mutual fund and it is now $12,000 then sell the two-thousand dollar increase.
This way you still have the bigger part of the position, you have limited your exposure to an appreciated (and possibly overpriced) asset class and you have "locked in" your gain. If the fund drops you have your $2,000 profit out.
I believe the stock market will finally respond with some respectable and lasting growth. The previous two years have been up and this year could continue positively. We will definitely see volatility throughout this time. But...we could see increased risk-taking rewarded.
The main "risk" assets are stocks in all of their flavors. Some examples are small-company, mid-sized, sector, real estate and international equities. Improving markets usually benefit these riskier classes.
I would avoid the areas that have gone up too much. For example, gold and other precious metals, certain international markets or high-priced (low-earning) individual stocks.
Federal interest rates are at their lowest in history. Up is really the only way for them to move...eventually.
What bond sector usually gets hit the hardest when rates change? Often U.S. Treasury bonds get whipsawed during interest rate moves. So keep a smaller amount in this area.
For the same reason you want less government bonds you want to lower the overall maturity of other fixed income investments. Fixed income values can be unstable during rate moves.
Also, the last thing you would want to do now is lock in a long-term CD. It might be tempting compared to other low-yielding investments. But when rates jump up that 10- or 20-year CD will pale in comparison. Keep these maturities short.
Always inform yourself. There are vast free resources on the internet that will help you make decisions or help you start a conversation with your advisor.
Some of the better sites are Morningstar.com and Investopedia.com. The first site has good articles, in-depth tools for understanding your portfolio and helpful investment-specific details. Investopedia is my favorite. It has articles covering basic to advanced topics, tutorials, a stock simulation game and acts as an encyclopedia of investing.
Any of these steps can help you improve your portfolio. Do not stop with these ideas. As you know, the investing landscape is always moving. Pay special attention to idea number five and continually update your investment IQ.

The Apple Computer company has enjoyed much success, and a few failures over the years: However, their latest failure, in the iPhone SDK license agreement, is monumental: 3.3.1 Applications may only use Documented APIs in the manner prescribed by Apple and must not use or call any private APIs. Applications must be originally written in Objective-C, C, C++, or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine, and only code written in C, C++, and Objective-C may compile and directly link against the Documented APIs (e.g., Applications that link to Documented APIs through an intermediary translation or compatibility layer or tool are prohibited). This will drive many developers including me away from the iPhone and Apple forever. I am developing my own dialect of C, which is very similar to standard C, and translates fairly cleanly to C. It has some interesting and unusual features. Although technically my language can run on any platform where there is a C compiler, I am no longer allowed to use it on the Apple platform. How far does this stupidity go? Am I not allowed to write scripts and macros to generate C code for me? Am I not allowed to use scripting languages like Lua with my programs? This is the single worst software licensing condition ever! |
I personally promise, in reaction to this stupidity, that I will never develop for an Apple platform or buy an Apple product. I won't waste my time developing for such a bogus proprietary platform anyway, when there are much better devices that use free software. How do I know Apple won't add new license conditions later on, saying I'm not allowed to use their SDK because my surname begins with 'W'? I can't trust this company at all, I can't trust them to keep their platform even vaguely open. Therefore I won't support their platform, or buy their hardware, and I will actively discourage people from supporting Apple. How dare they base their SDK on gcc, the GNU C Compiler, and their browser on KDE Konqueror, then license their software like this? Bad, bad Apple! You are making Microsoft look good by comparison, and it takes a lot of fail to achieve that.

In New College, Oxford, there exists an amusing story about the ancient oak beams that form the roof support of the college's enormous dining hall. These beams, which reportedly date way back to the New College's foundation in the 16th century, were inspected by a curious entomologist who would find out that the old beams were infested by beetles. The Junior Fellows, who initially were dismayed at the hard prospect of having to find such high quality oak, had the idea of scouring the College lands for oak trees to supply the new beams. The College Forester then had some amazing news, New College actually has a grove of oak trees on its lands which were left unnoticed for nearly four centuries. These oak trees were planted when the College was founded, specifically for the purpose of replacing the oak beams in the dining hall when they became too "beetley." The task of taking care of the oaks was handed down from Forester to Forester for four hundred years.
What makes air dried oak beams so structurally sound that they don't need replacing even after four hundred years? The oldest wooden structures in the world are made out of oak, so as the oak beams in ancient structures such as cathedrals and castles. Oak is a very versatile construction material that has already proven its worth throughout history. But first, let's take a look at how the legendary strength of oak came to be:
Oak is a hardwood. The tree takes longer to mature before it is cut and shaped into beams and other objects. The wood itself is heavier and more dense than most hardwoods- making it the perfect building material that is naturally resilient to wear and tear. One of the most defining characteristics of oak is its natural beauty. The grain is very tight, plus it also comes in a wide variety of colors that injects character to the wood itself. Like fine wine, oak gets better with time. Matured and aged oak beams are more durable than their fresh counterparts; and instead of looking dull and worn out, oak actually starts to look better as time goes by. The wood develops cracks, lines, and splits along the grain that most people find appealing to look at.
Of course, not all oak woods are the same. Out of all the 600 species of oak in the world, only a few are actually fit for construction. To spot real solid oak, ask first where the oak came from. It's always best to use wood that is grown in a similar environment as your own home. For example, if you live in the United Kingdom, oak grown anywhere in along the Northern Eastern part of Europe would be best for your needs. Meanwhile, stay away from oak that is imported from China or anywhere in Asia since these are not adapted fully to the climate in Europe. Most of the time, objects made from mass produced Chinese oak will deteriorate and weaken faster than oak grown locally.
Some magnifier lamps can be clamped on desks and other surface tops. This is the lamp to use when doing intricate or detailed work like crafting or modeling. The lamp is designed with longer arms for easy positioning and increased.
Good lighting that is correctly positioned is needed for projects that are detailed or complex. Magnifier lamps are designed with integral lights that shine on the object but is focused away from the eyes. The color of the light is also crucial. For projects that require exact color definition a cool white to daylight bulbs are ideal since they provide cleaner and more neutral shades. This also gives off a cleaner light and reduces eye strain, but this bulb usually costs more.
Other types of bulbs that can be used are halogen, LED, standard incandescent and fluorescent strip lights (there's a great discussion on bulb types at Topleka.net). Halogen bulbs are good to use in magnifier lamps because it's compact and has a light intensity that is 25-35% brighter than incandescent bulbs. Halogen is a good energy saver and has a relatively long lifespan. LED bulbs are also good to use because of its standard life span of 30,000 hours. This bulb is actually more effective that incandescent or halogen lights. LED bulbs can help cut down on energy costs because of its low energy consumption, but the initial purchase price is relatively high.
Diopter is the curvature of a lens. A bigger diopter means the lens are thicker and with a greater curvature. With a higher curvature, the rays of light are redirected to fill a bigger area of the retina and make the object look bigger. You can choose the right lens for you by taking into consideration the diopter and power of the lens. Choosing the right kind of magnifier lamp will make your work easier since it frees up both hands, leaving you free to hold and peruse an object without worrying about the light source or holding a magnifier.
When it comes to woodworking, wood hobby, or home improvements, one has their choice of automatic nail hammers. A frequent question on the lips of the Home Improvement Enthusiast is "Brad Nailer vs Finish Nailer – which is better?" The brad nailer and the finishing nailer are two similar tools that can be used interchangeably to complete similar carpentry jobs. However, both woodworking and carpenter tool manufacturers and distributers advertise these tools as two different things. They both perform exceptionally well when used for their intended purposes and applied to woodworking or carpentry projects. Both the brad nailer and the finishing nailer come in two different models, one with air compression and one without. Before you make your choice on any type of nailer you should ensure the product is ergonomic and feels good in your grip.
The comparison.
To answer the question Brad Nailer vs Finish Nailer we need a direct comparison. A finish nailer will commonly be 15 or 16 gauge, while on the other hand a brad nailer is mostly 18 gauge. The gauge of course refers to the machine itself and not the nail. While being constructed of a thinner wire than finishing nails, the brad nails are more bendable but follow the wood of the grain a lot better than their counterparts. This allows them to also deflect of hardwood knots a little better. The finishing nailer is too big for projects such as craft or small furniture assembly nor can it secure wood strips for a jig saw guide which in turn helps control the motion of the tool with no devastation. Brad nailers usually drive nails in between 5/8ths to 2 1/4inches into the wood. The depth of fastening with a finishing nailer is 1 ¼ to 2 ½ inches.
Main uses of a brad nailer:
The brad nailer is designed to give you a low visibility nail head, designed specifically for precision woodworking. They provide highly accurate results with furniture, wood trim and baseboard construction among other similar tasks. An out-of-the-box use of a brad nailer is to hold woodwork pieces to each other while glue dries. Enthusiast of wood craft can use the brad nailer for constructing beautiful wooden creations.
Main Uses of a finishing nailer:
Finishing nailers are used by professional construction framers for their lighter projects that include door trims, windows, crown molding or thicker stock woodworking. The best results occur when wood and carpentry projects need a nailer that isn't quite for framing or brad.
Basically a brad nailer shoots 18 gauge nails up to 2" long. Thin nails with minimal holding power, they're good for light moulding or holding things together until the glue dries. Nailers that shoot 15 and 16 Gauge nails are considered finish nailers. They both shoot nails up to 2.5", and that extra length comes in handy for hanging crown, jambs, casings, and heavier moulding. The 16 gauge finish nailers have a horizontal magazine and the 15 gauge nailers have an angled magazine (with a few exceptions) making it easier to reach into tight spots. Amazon.com sells both and there's a tonne of models to choose from. Take the time to read some of the brad nailer reviews here – we cover the best rated nailers. So, when the question of Brad Nailer vs Finish Nailer comes up again, you've got the right answer!

Old people can be so uninhibited…
At some point, you just don't care anymore.
This guy feels no pressure to conform to societal norms. He's not worried about what anyone else is thinking. He simply "is." What a wonderful place to be.
He could also be senile or have a degenerative brain disease. Either way, his uninhibited state must be nice.
Compare to the two dudes that are obviously trying to mock him. They are still trapped, bound by the expectations and approval of their peers. Although they are wearing Man-Capris, which I can't imagine any of their friends told them was cool.
Be the old guy.

Archived:ScrollPane component in FlashLite
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}}.
We do not recommend Flash Lite development on current Nokia devices, and all Flash Lite articles on this wiki have been archived.
Flash Lite has been removed from all Nokia Asha and recent Series 40 devices and has limited support on Symbian. Specific information for Nokia Belle is available in Flash Lite on Nokia Browser for Symbian. Specific information for OLD Series 40 and Symbian devices is available in the Flash Lite Developers Library.
Introduction to the ScrollPane Component
The Flash Lite ScrollPane component is a flexible and scalable user interface component that allows Flash Lite developers to create mobile user interfaces easily, using Flash Lite. The ScrollPane component uses placeholder MovieClips similar to Nokia Developer UI components in order to ease scaling, orientation, and positioning issues.
The same component can be used with equal ease for both, touch based and non-touche based mobile devices and offers all the features of desktop version of Flash CS 3 ScrollPane component. In addition, this ScrollPane component can accommodate for dynamic change in the source content and adjust the scrolls accordingly.
This ScrollPane component can be used for applications developed using FlashLite 2.x and FlashLite 3.x. This ScrollPane component is tested with FlashLite 2.x and FlashLite 3.x content for following
Nokia devices.
- Non touch based Nokia E-63.
- Touch based Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.
- Touch based Nokia 5530 XpressMusic.
- Adobe Flash Professional CS3 or CS4.
- Flash Lite 2.0 Player and above.
ScrollPane component can be downloaded here: Media:ScrollPaneComponent.zip.
Installation of the ScrollPane component is easy. Execute the components MXP file and follow the simple instructions in Adobe Extension Manager to complete the installation process. Restart Adobe Flash CS3 after installation.
Note: Component FLA and AS files should appear in the directories [INSTALL PATH]\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Components\ScrollPane and [INSTALL PATH]\Flash CS3\en\Configuration\Classes\com\ScrollPane. In some setup environments, the files may appear under the wrong language directories (for example, fi instead of en). In such cases, the files should be manually moved to the correct directories as specified above.
1. Create a Flash Lite Project. Open the Component panel (Ctrl/Apple key + F7) and drag the ScrollPane component onto the stage. Assign a unique instance name for the object using the properties panel (Ctrl/Apple key + F3).
2. It is recommended to add the following lines of ActionScript code to the first frame of the project so that it can be used with some other Nokia Developer components.
fscommand2("FullScreen", true);
fscommand2("SetQuality", "high");
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
Stage.align = "TL";
_focusrect = false;
3. In order for ScrollPane component to work properly, the Registration point of source movieclip must be top-left. Also X and Y coordinates of the ScrollPane component should be same as that of source movieclip.
4. The ScrollPane component dispatches an event when the slider is moved to make the source content scroll. This is done by calling addEventListener.
var myListener:Object = new Object ();
ScrollPaneInstance.addEventListener ("scroll",myListener);
myListener.scroll = function (oEvent:Object):Void
//You can get the Vertical Scroll Position by oEvent.target.vPosition;
trace ("vPosition::" + oEvent.target.vPosition);
//You can get the Horizontal Scroll Position by oEvent.target.hPosition;
trace ("hPosition::" + oEvent.target.hPosition);
5. The same component works for both the touch and non-touch based devices and if you want to make the ScrollPane react to device keyboard and scroll content accordingly, you need to add the keyboard listener by simply calling the following function. There are three combinations you can use the component with:
- Devices with only keyboard support(Non-touch based)(Eg. Nokia E52 Nokia 3230)
- Devices with only Touch interaction. (Eg. XpressMusic 5800)
- Devices supporting both Touch and Keyboard interaction. (Eg. N97)
mcScrollPane.setScrollUsingKey (false);
The boolean parameter will tell if the touch-based interaction is supported in addition to the keyboard support.
//For Nokia E-63, E-52 alike
mcScrollPane.setScrollUsingKey (false);
//For Nokia E-97
mcScrollPane.setScrollUsingKey (true);
The component offers the flexibility of scrolling the content using any key you may find suitable for your application. Also the keycode for keys is different in case of different devices. So you should specify the Keycodes of keys(which should be mapped for Scroll up,down,left,right)for this particular device using the Component Inspector/calling setKeyCodes API.
6. The ScrollPane component can accommodate the dynamic change in the source content and adjust the Scrollbars accordingly. If you have changed the source content and want to reflect that in the ScrollPane, you need to call the following function.
The skin has separate Movieclips for Up, Over and Down states of the ScrollPane. The skin consists of Active and Inactive states of the Arrow buttons and background, top, body, and bottom part of the sliders. This structure enables the slider interface to be completely scalable and easily skinnable.
Skins have separate MovieClips for Up and Down states of the slider. The structure of these parts is defined below:
- Default
- ActiveState
- Down
- Arrow_bottom_dn
- Arrow_left_dn
- Arrow_right_dn
- Arrow_top_dn

- Default
Inspectable Parameters
Inspectable parameters help customise the ScrollPane component from the Component Inspector panel (Shift + F7). All inspectable parameters can also be controlled via ActionScript with the component APIs.
Parameter | Description | Value |
AssetsSkins | Defines the component's skin linkage identifier path. For instance, for the 'mySkin' value, it would search for the skin components under the ScrollPane.mySkin.* linkage path. | Skin identifier string |
Height | Height of the ScrollPane | Number (Default is 100) |
hLineScrollSize | The number of pixels to move the content when an arrow in the horizontal scroll bar is clicked. | Number (Default is 10) |
Target | A string that indicates the Source content movieclip to which the ScrollPane will be added. | Instance of Source MovieClip |
vLineScrollSize | The number of pixels to move the content when an arrow in the vertical scroll bar is clicked. | Number (Default is 10) |
Width | Width of the ScrollPane | Number (Default is 160) |
KeyCodes | The array with Keycode of keys in the sequence:Scroll Up, Scroll Left, Scroll Right, Scroll Down | Array (Default is [50,52,54,56]) |
ScrollPane Component ActionScript API
Setting the skin path
public function setAssetsSkin (path:String):Void
Sets a new path for the skin. Reconstructs the component
Enable/Disable the component
public function enableDisableComponent (bState:Boolean):Void
Enable and disable the component based upon the Boolean flag parameter. Setting the flag to false makes the component disable and stop reacting to user input. Setting the flag to true makes the component enable and react to user input.
Changing ScrollPane Dimension
public function changeScrollPaneDimensions (nWidth:Number, nHeight:Number, bMaintainXY:Boolean):Void
Sets the new height and width for the ScrollPane component.
If you are using the component with devices supporting change in orientation, you can add an orientation listener and change the dimension of ScrollPane to suit to the current orientation. The last parameter (bMaintainXY) will be useful in case you want to maintain the same state of the source content area (or the visible area at the top) within the ScrollPane even after the change in dimension. Setting the parameter to true will change the dimension of the ScrollPane and also restore the source content at the same state. That is, if before changing the dimension the ScrollPane showed a input text-field at the top, then even after changing the dimension, the same text-field will be visible at the same offset within the ScrollPane.
Setting ScrollPane Location
public function setScrollPaneXY (nX:Number, nY:Number):Void
Sets the X and Y co-ordinates of the ScrollPane.
Setting the ScrollPane Visibility
public function setVisibility (bVisibility:Boolean):Void
Sets the ScrollPane visibility according to the Boolean flag. If set to false makes the ScrollPane component invisible and setting to true makes it visible.
Setting Vertical Position of ScrollPane content
public function setVPosition (nY:Number):Void
Orients the scroll pane's contents in pixels, and adjusts the vertical scroll box (thumb) proportionally. The 0 position is at the top end of the scroll track, which causes the top edge of the scroll pane content to be visible in the scroll pane.
Setting Horizontal Position of ScrollPane content
public function setHPosition (nX:Number):Void
Orients the scroll pane's contents in pixels, and adjusts the horizontal scroll box (thumb) proportionally. The 0 position is at the left end of the scroll track, which causes the left edge of the scroll pane content to be visible in the scroll pane.
Setting Vertical Line Scroll Size
public function setVLineScrollSize (nPixels:Number):Void
Sets the number of pixels to move the content in the display area when the user clicks a scroll arrow in a vertical scroll bar. The default value is 10.
Setting Horizontal Line Scroll Size
public function setHLineScrollSize (nPixels:Number):Void
Sets the number of pixels to move the content when an arrow in the horizontal scroll bar is clicked. The default value is 10.
Refresh ScrollPane for the changed Source content
public function refreshPane ():Void
If the source content is changed in the dimension you can call the refresh API. This will make sure that the ScrollPane will work with the modified source content by resetting the scroll bar. There is no need to refresh the ScrollPane in case the source content is same in dimension and merely changes some input property (for example, a text field).
Add Keyboard Scrolling Support
public function setScrollUsingKey (bFlag:Boolean):Void
Sets the Keyboard input support for the ScrollPane component.
As mentioned earlier, this ScrollPane component works with Touch based and non touch based devices. The component works by default for only Touch based devices. But if you want to add the Keyboard interaction, you should call this API. If the target device supports only Keyboard interaction, you should call the API with Boolean flag as 'false' and if the target device supports both touch based and keyboard interaction(and you wish to add both support for your application), you should call the API with Boolean flag as 'true'.
Setting Keycode of ScrollKeys
public function setKeyCodes (aKeyCodes:Array):Void
Sets the Keycode of the keys mapped for Scroll Up, Left, Right, Down functionality.
Demo Examples
The attached Examples will show how to use the ScrollPane component in FlashLite Applications.
- One is for touch based Nokia 5800 XpressMusic Device.
- Other is for non-touch based and keyboard supported Nokia E-63. Can scroll using 2,4,6,8 numbered keys in addition to ScrollPane Left/Right/Top/Bottom buttons.

Divino Tuscany, Florence, Italy
There are wine trips and there are wine trips. And Divino Tuscany's inaugural excursion makes all others look like a box of Franzia Chablis.
So what makes this the best of booze vacations? Your guide for the four-day tour, starting June 2 in Florence, is James Suckling, former European bureau chief of Wine Spectator. There's a gala dinner on the banks of the Arno River cooked up by the folks behind the three-Michelin-starred Enoteca Pinchiorri restaurant. And some of Tuscany's most famous wine families have invited you over to their palazzi for dinner. Tastings run through the region's best brunellos and merlots, and the whole thing ends with a boar roast at Sting's Florentine villa. How's that for a smooth finish?

Duong Bui, Erkin Özay, Pars Kibarer Cambridge, Mass., and Istanbul
Concept: The Bywater neighborhood opens into the development through three generous courtyards, lined by multilevel town houses. The ground level can be used for a home business and opens to the public courtyard through a small private loggia. The configuration of the landscaped courtyards offers augmented stormwater retention. The widest, northern courtyard terraces up to a broad river-facing public deck. Along with river viewing, the deck offers access to a play area, community center, and the architecture-school space.
Eight-story towers, in which two units per floor hang from the core, open to the river. A slitlike recess in each brings breezes into the rearmost rooms and allows glass on three sides of each living room.
The straightforward, modular plans are intended to aid in use of prefabrication, for speed of erection. River water would be sourced for a radiant cooling system involving a mat of tubes embedded in the unit ceilings.
"The courtyards are a very good idea," commented Naslund, "wrapped by housing, yet opening to the street and the community. Similar bungalow courtyard complexes are much beloved in California." J.S.R.
"The believability of the tower layout is exciting." —Gooden

West Ham United are in advanced talks to sign full-back Pablo Armero, according to reports on Friday.
The Hammers lost defender Joey O'Brien to a dislocated shoulder earlier this week, which is likely to rule him out for the rest of the season.
Now West Ham have wasted little time in agreeing a deal with Napoli to sign 27-year-old Colombian Armero.
Napoli already have a deal lined up for Faouzi Ghoulam, meaning Armero is being allowed to leave.
Armero is due to arrive in London on Friday ahead of completing a deal before the deadline closes.
