Event categories are set in advance to minimize the level of interaction required to log events as they happen in real-time. Categories are represented by large buttons and displayed in hierarchical order to help you easily manage and navigate between event types. Customize your categories to log combinations of quantities, text notes, and gps coordinates, or just log categories only. Customize your categories with icons so they are easy to locate.
If you're logging quantities on a daily basis, a sparkline will appear directly on the button for quick and easy review of your progress.
Tap Log has been used to track habits, mood, calories, coffee intake, water and alcohol intake, height, vitamins, and basic workouts. Apart from health and fitness, people use Tap Log's GPS and e-mail features for law enforcement, trucking mileage, expense tracking, and real estate logging. Tap Log helps some users run their small businesses.
Tap Log makes it easy to log quickly so you can keep focus on more important things in your life.

Log Watcher
You know, even if you do several tests, put a lot of code to prevent bugs, at least one error will always happen or any scenario you have not anticipated will crash your application. And especially when you work with enterprise applications, to ask to your customer to enter a command of the ADB or attempt to connect the device using Eclipse it's not a good practice...
As I had this problem on a project, I created this application to read the LogCat from the device and store it in a TXT file in the sdcard. The user also can send the log file by e-mail.
****: This BETA version only works if the device has sdcard. Other ways to save the file will come in future versions. *****
***** This is a tool for developers, and I created to help me on some projects, and so I decied to publish it. It really is not an application to be beautiful, but with a definite use. ****

DEFINITION of 'Linkage'
Linkage occurs when an investor is able to purchase a security on one financial exchange and sell it on another. Certain depositary receipts, such as American Depositary Receipts (ADRs), allow for linkage, which means that an investor can purchase shares of a company on a foreign exchange, such as the Toronto Stock Exchange, and then sell those shares on a domestic exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Linkage'
Linkage should not be confused with arbitrage situations where an investor looks to profit from price discrepancies for equivalent securities trading on different exchanges. As financial markets progress, specifically with the growth of electronic exchanges spreading, the phenomenon of linkage will become more relevant and useful for investors in the future.

Pollster: Question 1 support may be inflated; former NFL chief donates to proponents' group

Well, analysts are supposed to be objective and cautious, but from what I just read the numbers are still encouraging. 47% say they support marriage equality, 24% support civil unions, and another 4% are live-and-let-live types. Added together, about 75% support fairness, and I bet some of those people in support of civil unions will cross over to vote in favor of marriage equality come election day. Even if just 4% of that group votes in favor, that makes a majority, so the polls are still very promising. Last, the margin of error would have to be at least 10% to swing the poll away from equality, while a margin half that would probably still yield results nominally in favor.

55-45 is indeed encouraging numbers, but TOTALLY meaningless unless they show up and VOTE.
If we don't win in Maine, Washington, & Maryland where we hold similar margins in all the recent polls, then we need to simply save our money and instead work to elect politicians who will appoint pro-equality judges to the courts.
If we can't win this year, then there's no hope of winning in states like Pennsylvania or Oregon or Ohio.

"We'll just have to wait until more of the old anti-gay geezers die off over the next decade."
That belief is a typical case of homosexuals believing their own distorted rhetoric. Many of the young are simply apathetic. Their silence is mis-interpreted by the gays as support. You don't have to be old for your intuition to tell you that homosexuality is contrary to the needs of society.

The younger generation is apathetic when it comes to voting in general, but not their support of marriage equality. It's not like they're voting on everything else but just leaving the section on marriage equality blank. Unfortunately only 25% of those under age 30 bother to vote for anything. But as they get older and start voting on a regular basis, then they will vote those values.
By the end of the decade this is all over. Hopefully we don't have to wait that long to get our first victory at the polls, but I'm realistic enough to admit that may be how it plays out.
Old anti-gay geezers die off.

In Maine? Maine-voters favor queers pretending to counterfeit marriage?
Yeah, right.
The vast majority of people wish that queers would keep their bedrooms out-of-government, especially concerning our local school districts funded by the taxpayers of this district.
It's so sickening to see all these filthy adult queers storming the gates into the government schools.
For obvious reasons.

Actually the more educated one is, the more likely they are to support marriage equality for same-sex couples.
People don't suddenly become bigots just because they get older. They seldom go from supporting equality for their gay & lesbian friends, neighbors, family members, coworkers, etc., to supporting discrimination against those same individual.
If the "hourglass" should run out this Nov, then we'll simply flip it over and try again, and again, and again, etc., until we are successful.
This only ends one way- full marriage equality nationwide. The only question is WHEN. I'd say by the end of the decade at most.

Recent polls in Ohio & Florida show more than 50%support for marriage equality for same-sex couples. Even Virginia has more supporters than opposition, though it's still less than 50% there.
Of course that doesn't mean over 50% of VOTERS will support marriage equality there- because we know many of the supposedly religious anti-gay people lie to polling organizations about supporting marriage equality- but it DOES show the trend continues to move in only one direction.
That's probably why the anti-gays went to court to attempt to block a referendum to repeal Ohio's constitutional ban on same-sex couples marrying.
So much for "let the people vote"! I guess that only applies when you think your side will win.

A Latina transgender teen from Oak Cliff, Texas, was sent home by school officials on Monday when she showed up to register at Sunset High School wearing "a skirt, tight white shirt and ballet flats," according to a local Fox News Channel affiliate.
The teen, identified by Fox News with her birth name, Luis Valderrama, thought she had been sent home because her skirt was too short. But the school later apologized and invited her back to register for the school term on Wednesday.
Regarding the length of the skirt, Valderrama told Fox News "I'll compromise with them. I'll wear capris."
The school seems attended predominately by Latinos. A sign visible as a background to the online Fox News video report reads "La escuela comienza 8:45 am 8/7/07 Bienvenido al Mejor Ano df tu vida" - quirky grammar kept intact - which means "School starts 8:45am 8/7/07 Welcome to the best anus of your life" - I guess there was no plastic ñ letters to change "ano" to "año").

WASHINGTON -- Some issues are just too good for politicians to let go. For instance, Republicans vote to defund ACORN almost annually, even though the advocacy group went out of business years ago.
Another such issue appears to be saving welfare reform from President Barack Obama.

Commodore's View
March Musings from the Helm
by Rhonda Brewer, 2015 Commodore
In 1785 William Cowper wrote "Variety's the spice of life, That gives it all its flavour." Although poet Cowper was referring to the English countryside in his poem The Task, the saying also applies to our Club, sailing and our own Lake Pleasant. The strength of our Club lies in the diverse experiences and backgrounds of our members, the variety of activities and programs in which we participate, not to mention the range of weather conditions and temperatures we enjoy at Lake Pleasant.
I think it would be interesting to survey the educational and occupational backgrounds of our members. I know for a fact that we have doctors, accountants, engineers, artisans, pilots, teachers, dieticians, realtors, computer analysts, and salesmen among our ranks. I think it is safe to assume that you all could add at least a dozen or more off the top of your heads!
At the February general meeting I made my way around the room sharing the beautiful "LPSC" guitar made by Dave Brickner. As I moved from table to table, I noticed the variety of topics being discussed over dinner. This mixture of interest and expertise combined with a shared love of sailing makes the Lake Pleasant Sailing Club a diverse organization that has last more than 37 years.
Because we are such a diverse group, it is important that we plan, implement and support a variety of activities throughout the year. Some of our members are very social and enjoy activities that allow them dress up, play games and make Pinterest-worthy recipes to share at raftups. Other enjoy just a day of sailing and a relaxing evening under the stars-nary a Pinterest recipe to be found! Some of our members are transitioning from sailing to camping and enjoy the two land/water events the Club sponsors each year. Other members have left the sailing world but still enjoy the land-only events-spring breakfast and fall picnic. These events are a great opportunity to connect with the folks that have kept this Club strong for so many years. Relatively new events like dock parties and Sunday Sails have attracted another group of members. These newer members are looking for connections, education, and the sharing of experiences and expertise from the Club. This is a whole new group to share our stories with!
Anyone who has sailed a whole year at Lake Pleasant knows that we enjoy diverse weather and temperatures while sailing at Lake Pleasant. Even in the brutal heat of the summer or the two and one-half days of "frigid" winter we suffer through each February, there is usually at least one LPSC boat scooting across the lake. To paraphrase the United States Post Office unofficial motto "Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night, stays these LPSC sailors from the swift (or sometimes not) completion of their appointed rounds."
Hopefully, March will bring us an even greater variety of members, activities, programs and even weather so that the LPSC can remain the spicy, flavorful Club we all enjoy.

20 reasons children need art:
- Art stimulates both sides of the brain.
- 33% of children are visual learners.
- There are studies that show that children, who make art, read better and get better grades in science and mathematics
- Children learn by using their senses and art is ideal in this process
- Children need a place to express themselves
- Art promotes self esteem
- Art encourages children to give more attention to the physical space that surround them
- Art develops hand and eye coordination
- Art stimulates perception
- Art teaches children to think openly. It represents a culture of questioners more than a culture of responders
- Art teaches that there is more than one solution for a problem
- Art teaches children to think creatively to solve problems
- Children can share and reflect on their work of art and learn something about the world they live in
- When art is integrated with the other subjects in the curriculum, children commit more to the learning process
- In the process of doing art, the child is exposed to different possibilities, to discover and to freedom, this way they avoid falling into the control and the predictability of the conventional education in the United States of today
- Art nourishes the human soul. One feels good doing it
- Art brings the cultural resources of the community into the art class
- Art involves parents, inviting them to participate as volunteers in diverse activities
- Art provides a common ground across racial stereotypes, barriers and prejudices
- Art is valuable all by itself

Patsy and Edina have probably inspired almost as many drag queens as Cher and Liza, so it's remarkably fitting that they'll be joining RuPaul and the gals on Logo. Today (March 24), the LGBT-focused cable channel announced that they've acquired the full five seasons of Absolutely Fabulous, the BAFTA-winning sitcom starring Jennifer Saunders and Joanna Lumley as boozy besties. (BBCA viewers will be familiar…it ran on the network for many years. It originally aired on the BBC from 1992 to 1996 and from 2001 to 2004. )
"When it comes to 'OMFG' television, AbFab raises the bar with its notorious, hard-partying duo Patsy and Edina," says Marc Leonard, Logo's SVP of Multiplatform Programming, via press release. "This irreverent series about the ultimate anti-heroes changed the comedy genre and fits beautifully with Logo's fierce programming."
The show will premiere on Logo with a weekend-long marathon starting Saturday, April 16th at 2 pm EST, subsequently moving to a Thursdays at 10 pm timeslot.

Cobb Theatres has acquired the Plaza Cinema Cafe in Orlando, Florida, according to a press release issued by the company on December 22, 2010. The acquisition happened on December 10th, and the company was quick to upgrade the theater so that all twelve screens now feature Digital Cinema Projection systems, with four capable of RealD 3D presentations.
"With the holiday movie season in full swing, we acted quickly to enhance the movie-going experience for our customers in Orlando," said Jeremy Welman chief operating officer, Cobb Theatres. "Our goal is to provide an entertainment destination that includes the highest-quality audio and visual presentation for our theater guests. Every day."
Located in The Plaza in downtown Orlando, the Cobb Plaza Cinema Cafe provides luxury amenities, an expanded concession menu, a full dining menu, and two wine bars. The theater was opened by Orlando Movie Co. and American Theatre Corp. on May 29, 2009, and at the time, it was reported to be the first movie theater in downtown Orlando in decades. RP Realty Partners took over management in December 2009.
You can find showtimes for the theater on their Showtimes page, as well as a map with directions, area restaurants, and more on their Information page.
Cobb Theatres now operates 18 locations in Alabama, Colorado, Florida, and Virginia, with two locations opening soon in Virginia and Georgia.

Best Local Rap Album (2000)
Book of Thugs: Chapter AK, Verse 47
After watching Trick Daddy's last album, www.thug.com, go gold, and seeing his leering mug plastered all over MTV, the Box, and BET, it's safe to say Miami's hip-hop scene has definitely found life after Luke. Not that Trick Daddy himself sounds too happy about his newfound fame and fortune: On his most recent release, Book of Thugs, when he's not snapping at so-called friends and lovers looking for a free ride on his coattails, he's railing at America at large for its unwillingness to see members of the black community as anything beyond subhuman, no matter how high on the socioeconomic ladder they may climb. He's not exactly breaking any new ground here (no less than three of the album's songs feature the word 'ho in the title), but as long as he keeps setting his gripes and fierce tales of ghetto-ology to these infectiously head-nodding grooves and post-bass beats, we're more than happy to stifle any wishes for a kinder, gentler Trick Daddy.

Music: Maybe it's because I'm a masochist
The Proms Royal Albert Hall, London
Sunday 05 September 1999
Meanwhile, this enchanting collection of songs for voice and orchestra - setting the sort of ancient Chinese texts which have become home territory for Weir - is interesting because it demonstrates a distinctive personality adapting to circumstance and adopting the sound equivalent of broader brush strokes in its method. Weir's music, typically, is clean cut, wry, quietly subversive, with a teasing playfulness. And the tease, as often as not, involves a trick of scale that confines big ideas in the wrappings of small ones - almost in the way the artist Christo wraps tower blocks like Christmas parcels.
Natural History was originally commissioned for an American orchestra (the Boston Symphony) and an American singer (Dawn Upshaw). The result is an American-sounding piece, with all the core ingredients of Weir but relocated to the land of Samuel Barber and John Adams where the tease is whether the writing will steer toward romanticism (as it threatens) or to minimalism (ditto). There's also, I think, a complete reversal of that trick of scale. Instead of squeezing big into small, the music inflates small into big - which may be why it sounds too easy. Even by Weir's stardards, what you hear is lean. It offers little in the way of flesh-and-blood events.
But I liked the piece: its charm, invention and disburdened grace. And this Proms performance, for which Dawn Upshaw joined the BBC Philharmonic under Mark Elder, made an eloquent centrepiece in a programme largely devoted to musical whimsy - starting with Stravinsky's Circus Polka (as written for Barnum & Bailey's performing elephants) and ending with Richard Strauss's overblown orchestral portrait of his life at home with Mrs Strauss, Symphonia Domestica.
The BBC Phil was back at the Proms the following night with a different conductor, Vassily Sinaisky, and a very different programme of Russian music inspired by the stories of Pushkin, whose 200th anniversary falls this year. So much Russian music derives from Pushkin that this concert could easily have run on for a fortnight. But it settled for a token pot- pourri of Glinka, Rimsky-Korsakov and Tchaikovsky, with a rare performance of Rachmaninov's one-act opera Aleko to follow.
Rachmaninov wrote this score as an official student exercise when he was 19. And for a 19-year-old it's pretty remarkable, with a developed sense of orchestral colour in the dances and the assured vocal writing of the one big number for the central character. But otherwise it feels like a pale and stilted revisitation of Carmen (decent guy loves faithless gypsy, kills her, curtain) with unfulfilled leanings toward the verismo shock tactics of Cavalleria Rusticana. The problem is that it's hard to shock when your chorus reacts to a double murder with a textbook fugue. This Proms performance made the best of things with strong, impassioned soloists Elena Prokina, Vasilly Gerello and Vsevolod Grivnov, and orchestral playing of such eloquence that you could almost believe it.
One of the week's other Proms composers was William Walton, whose profile has been riding high since Opera North dusted down Troilus and Cressida and OUP started reissuing his work in new editions. He has just been Composer of the Week on Radio 3. He was the subject of a recent TV documentary. And if you saw that film, you'll remember the footage of Ischia in the Bay of Naples, where he went to live and bathe his later works in Mediterranean warmth. Susana Walton, the composer's widow, lives there still, in the amazing paradise-domaine of terraced gardens, waterfalls and fountains that the Waltons built from scratch. And in that paradise, for the past 10 years, the Walton Trust has run a unique series of opera masterclasses for student singers. For three weeks they work - under some of the most eminent tutors in the business - on a specific opera which is then performed in public. This year it was Ormindo, the Cavalli opera which launched the revival of interest in that composer's work when Raymond Leppard's realisation of the score played at Glyndebourne in the 1960s. And it was the same Leppard edition that was heard at Ischia - sounding fancifully risque in these days of stricter period sensibilities. In any case, the point of the Ischia masterclasses is process rather than product.
This year's process was administered by Colin Graham, once the leading light of opera staging in the UK but no longer; he now lives in the US where they appreciate him more than we do. Watching the painstaking detail he programmes into every piece of business, every gesture and response, you can understand why critics think him old fashioned: an exponent of the how-to-hold-a-fan-and-lift-a-crinoline school of opera. But his sense of the importance of minutiae is illuminating, and more useful to young singers without stagecraft than the random do-as-you-feel approach of an experimentalist.
Under Graham the Ischia students learn to make their gestures meaningful: to move for a purpose, or not at all; to treat each vocal entry as a reaction to something done or said, and not merely the place in the score where it's My Turn To Sing. Above all, they learnt how to give physical expression to a deeper, more complete reading of character. In Graham's words, it's about acknowledging responsibility - to the piece, the audience, and the other singers on the stage.
