I've an Ant build using the Proguard config below, which is that generated by the "android" command line tool, it seems pretty straightfoward. But when I build the app using this script, the app blows up when it's executed on the device, with a series of null pointer exceptions (the obfuscation process is somehow adding bugs to the code). To fix the app, I just rebuild it without running it through Proguard.
What advice would you offer to someone using Proguard with Android apps so that a) the app is optimised and obfuscated to a reasonable degree, but b) without the functional integrity being damaged?

Its best to just show what I'm trying to achieve. This isn't meant to be functional, just describe the problem.
Here's what my tomcat web app currently accepts...
I want it to look like
What is this concept called, and does anyone have a good resource on it ? I'd like to use pure java as much as possible, and avoid the use of apache-specific or 3rd party resources.

Perfect place for Earth Angel, except...
for the rock. Boulder? The pitchfork and trowel mark the two edges I have found. The rest of the rock is under living plants, and I have no idea how large it is.
How much of my garden should I decimate to plant her? On the one hand, she's a lot more important (and expensive) than the shallow-rooted, self-seeded aquilegia and bleeding hearts. On the other, it's so hot and humid...
I'm a wimp; and frankly, getting a bit too old for this. But the photos of other people's gardens make me want to shoot a little higher in my gardening aspirations.
You need a digging pole / bar to move that rock. It is a 6 to 6 1/2 foot long bar with chisel point at one end and a point and sometimes a 'mushroom' on the other end. Lowes has them here for $30 or so.
Nothing beats this for getting those big ones out. It is great for digging up roots and even good size tree trunks. Jam it under the rock and hang on the bar. Archimedes said 'Give me a lever long enough and a place to stand and I can move the world'.
Once you leverage it out you can also move it anywhere nearby by simply wedging it over. It is a handy tool and you will be surprised at how many times you can use it. If you can see it move at all with the pitchfork, you can get it out with a digging pole.
I actually just did exactly this. Started to dig a hole to plant my new liberty and sure enough there is a huge rock, Two days one shovel, one wheel barrel full of dirt, one pry bar like Jon mentioned a steel fence post, a sledge hammer lots of sweet and the final trick help from Dad and the rock is out. Still need to fill hole and plant Liberty.
I really appreciate the tips and especially frog's photos. The most reassuring part of your photos, frogged, is that it appears you were working in the middle of an existing garden, too. I'm going to have to dig up and try to transplant quite a few plants to get at the rock, and possibly an azalea to have room to maneuver Archimedes' lever (I think there is one in the garage. Glad you mentioned it, Jon.)
Thanks one and all! Happy Fourth (gentle rain all day, here).
Slipper, the steel fence post is a very useful thing. If you do not have one, it is used to extend the length of the pry bar.....gives you more leverage. We called them "cheater pipes" when I worked on a boat and we chained down cargo. Slip it over the pry bar to make it longer. Work smarter not harder.
Go for it. Make some lemonade before you begin, you'll be glad you did.
Got some young, strong help today (along with a crowbar), and out came the rock! Earth Angel is now lined up with a 6-year-old Guardian Angel. Maybe someday they'll be somewhere near the same size and balance out this part of the garden.
Thanks to all for the advice. Mocc - didn't need the extension bar this time; the rock was blessedly flat and Greg is blessedly strong. But, living in New England, I will likely need the extension pipe one of these days. Great idea. Thanks.
I note there was once a picture with the LuckyLadySlipper post above. Sure do need to see it, please. Sometimes these things get lost.
I am impressed by the hole you dug in the first place. That, done in the sort of rocky soil found in New England, I am amazed. Glad you had a strong back to step in and help.

Wolf AG (older style/model) broiler not working
The broiler in our 2008 Wolf AG range appears to be malfunctioning (not lighting). I tried doing a search because I thought someone else had experienced broiler problems within the past couple of years, but couldn't find the thread.
We will place a call to Wolf this week, but was wondering if others have experienced issues with their broilers, what the problem was, and how it was resolved.
This post was edited by cat_mom on Sun, Nov 3, 13 at 14:35
Great--ours is about 5 yrs old so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, though not thrilled(!).
Did you replace yours by yourself teachmkt or have them come out to do it?
Just spent $240 to replace some parts on our Miele DW recently. *sigh*
xedos--yes, gas definitely flows (you can smell it), and there are some intermittent blue flames floating around the broiler element/top of the oven cavity, but the broiler doesn't appear to "catch" or glow red.
No desire to stick a match lite in there. Will do the burners with it when the power is out, but that's about it.
Our Wolf AG broiler stopped working at 8 years and we were informed it needed a new broiler burner. We had that replaced and it now works fine. Not long before that we needed a new bake burner. Neither was a terribly cheap part or repair, sadly. But when I look at other appliances we have had, almost all of those with electronics needed an expensive repair (under warranty) in year 1, so I am reconciled.
We have a service appt scheduled, so I am glad to read that those who've experienced this issue (or similar issue), were able to have it resolved.
palomalou--we also had our oven burner tube replaced (if that's the part you mean) a year or two ago. Thank goodness Wolf is/has been as responsive as they've been with any problems we've had over the years. Service tech wasn't convinced there was a problem, but the new part was ordered by Wolf regardless (we called the person at Wolf who'd set up the appt for us, while the tech was here). It was clear when the old part was removed, that it was defective/damaged. The new part resolved the issue we were experiencing, so I could resume baking with less trepidation--except for user error of course! :)
Hi Cat_mom
how did you go about unclogging the broiler. I might have the same issue. Only portion of broiler is working. I had a tech service this years ago but I think it got clogged again.
I have a couple of other issues with the stove ( 1) fan noise, 2) using the oven and the stove causes the igniter to continue to click, 3) one of the burner doesn't activate the igniter and I have to use a match to light...). I have live with the other issues but this one bothers me the most...
Thanks for your help.
Maybe this will help. The broiler has this mesh like material that shape like the letter "H" (sideways). That part lights up but the portion that doesn't light up are the 2 square plates (5" x 5"). They are covered with grease from my other cooking adventure.
I can't recall but are the square plates suppose to light up? Can I clean them?
The broiler itself wasn't clogged, rather, it was an orifice in the back of the range (located on the outside the range--you have to remove the trim piece in back to access it). I didn't do the unclogging, nor did I see the actual piece/orifice, or its exact location either, the tech took care of it.
As for your range's other issues, I'd have the range checked out by a service tech. The burner issues could be igniter-related.
Good luck!

Little King of Sorrows
All said and done Poem by Little King of Sorrows
What have I done,
I let my mind run,
Was it selfish of me,
To indulge in some fun?
I held back the rain,
with nothing to gain,
I couldn't distinguish,
the joy from the pain.
All that denial,
I needed to file,
I dumped out my thoughts,
and sifted the pile.
Another fear tossed,
another tear crossed,
strewn all about,
some translation was lost.
The lighting was dim,
as I started to trim,
the dreams I don't need,
were stacked to the brim.
This one's for you,
all shiny and new,
this ones for him,
It's the least I can do.
Take or leave be,
I'm purging you see,
Things not forgotten,
were hindering me.
But now it's okay,
I'll pack this display
hidden from eyesight,
I'll store it away.
Light as feather.
I challenge the weather,
With loving acceptance,
I glued myself together.
Smiles in my bags,
I stretch out my legs,
No stones unturned,
I leave these white flags.
Just hoping your happy,
I'll quit being sappy,
I'm sorry for words,
and rhymes that are crappy.
Just wanted to try,
and I figured out why,
when all's said and done,
Just had to say 'Hi'.
Okay. Goodbye.: -)

need a spruce up!
I currently live in New Orleans, but am trying to sell a house in St. Louis (zone 5b). It has a small, steep, terraced front yard (3822wyoming.com for pictures) that gets a lot of shade from a large tree between the sidewalk and street (not pictured).
I'd like to pretty it up for spring. Considerations: I am obviously too far for upkeep/watering, but have someone mow the lawn every 2 weeks or so, who could probably do minor upkeep, too. I do not want to spend much money - just want to give it more curb appeal. Any suggestions, including when and what to plant, would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
wow....that takes me back.....used to live a couple of blocks away, 3600 block of McDonald.
i don't know how properties are moving in south city are moving right now, but the summertime will be tough if it's still on the market. The only thing that I can think of might be some of the taller sedums. There is a dark-leaved variety tht I can imagine looking nice in a fairly rigid pattern with a contrasting mulch. It could look nice and formal/modern if done in a repeating pattern.

I can't access MSN right now so I can't do anything related to MSFT - I'm so frustrated with MSN I could scream. I just want to play simple MahJong or Klondike and can't access either.
Is there a safe site to down load free games. There are so many out there but I don't want to get a virus or worse trying to find a stupid game. Help please. I like to play Solitaire while listening to the TV. Just plain old Klondike (large enough to see and maneuver). X-Box on Windows 8 was good but I can't access it. Thanks.....
Hi sanantoniorose,
Looks like a good site for you. See link.
What is wrong with MSN? What error are you getting when you visit the site, perhaps we can help with that.
Here is a link that might be useful: solitaireparadise
Thanks Zep~ I'll check it out.
Mike~ Solitaire & Mahjong IS included with Windows 8, but it still requires you to sign into a Microsoft account. I've had my MSN account for at least 14 or 15 years with the same Username and password both of which I want to keep. The Username is unique and the password is guess proof simply because it's a long string of #'s & letters I memorized when I got my first computer.
This happened about a week ago and I've been struggling with it since. I finally figured out how to access the MSN website but still can't log into my Hotmail account. This is VERY irritating right now because I need to answer an email regarding an issue with billing by an architect I don't intend to hire (I'm remodeling my house) but I need to re-read his email to address problems.
Instead I'm locked out of anything 'Microsoft'. Here's what happens. When I put in my email address and password it says "That password is incorrect. Be sure you're using the password for your Microsoft account." From there you go thru a loop to reset your password which doesn't work. Even if you go thru the new password, new hint, Verisign wonky letters, etc. to MSN Support, The Team will issue a 'code' which doesn't work either..on and on. I give up. Gaack!
I'm not really a gamer and I'm not familiar with this site but it seems pretty decent for Solitaire.

Hundreds .. If not thousands of games, including Mah Jong and Solitaire!
Here is a link that might be useful: CLICK HERE FOR FUN
If you like MahJong there is a game at the stores called 101 Games for $10. There are two MahJong Artifacts games that make the CD worth buying even if you don't play any of the others. There are 3 versions of Mahjong on each game. My favorite is the Mahjong Artifacts 2, Quest game. Great game.
Hey Owbist~ don't rub it in....I don't think you can undo Windows 8 and install Windows 7 - I wish.
Windows 8 is just a giant phone. Don't like it - too many pop-ups and huge. Who in the world wants to see the time & date in a 3 or 4" square box that pops-up? Makes no sense at all. Control panel is too abbreviated and it takes at least 3 clicks to shut down or sleep. Silly. Give me Windows 7 any day.
As for MSN - I'll try the website you suggested Raven - lots of options (if I have the patience) I'm pretty burned out on trying at this point...............
Thanks all for the suggestions - I should have thought of CNET. They have a really nice Solitaire - actually pretty cards. Phooey on MSN or whoever is causing the problem. BTW - at one point I saw a list of "issues" and problems signing in is considered "Solved" NOT!
if you're really unhappy with how 8 looks and works you might try this free little program that gives you options to make it more like 7 was.
Here is a link that might be useful: classic shell
as to the games for windows 8,they don't come preinstalled you can get them free from the windows game store and install them, including solitaire and many others.
Here's a good article about it.
Here is a link that might be useful: game store
Geeze, having to sign into anything to play Solitaire seems absurd.
If you're password isn't working and you can't access your Hotmail account, there is a way to contact Microsoft for help. You can expect to answer a bunch of questions about your account - emails you may have received, contacts you may have added, when you opened it, previous passwords, etc. Basically you have to prove to someone at Microsoft support that you are the rightful owner. But do tell them you think the account may have been hacked and the date you lost access. They should be able to look and see if the password changed on that date.
Since you said you're using a "hard password" I'd be doubly sure to run multiple malware/antivirus scans on your computer to ensure that someone isn't looking over your shoulder. Of course, once you gain access to your account, change the password.

Rated 3.8 out of 5 by 491 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by UnclePhil Great Stay I want to personally thank Duane for going over & beyond making sure our stay was an amazing one!! He treated us like family and you usually don't get that kind of service from hotel personnel but he was great. If we are ever in Raleigh again we will be staying here again. Thanks Again!! March 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by BQ21 Great 100th Sheraton Stay I stay at SPG properties often (85-125 nights per year), but I don't often leave reviews. However, after my recent stay at the Sheraton Raleigh Downtown, I feel I have to. If you are visiting the Raleigh area, you cannot beat the location, customer service, and comfort of this hotel. My experience this week was fantastic. In past stays at this property, I received the typical solid Sheraton experience, but this time I felt the staff was so much more enthusiastic--it made a huge difference. They were willing to help for everything. There was one employee (large guy with an outgoing personality) that I saw all over the property providing help to visitors. Everyone, from the front desk staff to the room attendants to the lounge staff, was helpful and courteous. Also, it was my 100th stay at a Sheraton, and the management provided me with a hand written note and welcome gift that I did not expect at all. It was a fantastic touch, and I truly appreciated it. March 18, 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Gracie13 I was disapointed in this Hotel I was traveling with an associate. I have Starwood status and her room was available, but mine was not. As it turned out - her room had a broken toilet that we did not discover until 9:00pm because we had gone out to dinner. So upon returning, she had to wait to get comfortable in her room until after 10:00 when the toilet was fixed. No real "valet parking". Staff will park accross the street and bring you your keys. When I asked only directions given were "the cars are accross the street. Overall just not the friendliest staff or nicest experience. Disapointed at best. January 16, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Carphagous Service made the difference despite Sheraton reservations making an epic blunder, Nigel the evening mgr made it right and our stay, which did start with greetings/invaluable luggage help from Kevin,courteous checkin with Ashly and ended with a comfy room/bed and good nites sleep. The location was great for us. The rest of the hotel has its quirks but the service from the management staff was excellent. March 7, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by sarah nightmare stay this is the worst hotel experience I have ever had and I stay at a lot of SPG hotels as a platinum member. Firest, my family was sleeping in bed when another family walked into our room. The hotel had given our room to someone else. I called down to the front desk and they were aware of what happened and said sorry but nothing else. We then left our room for dinner only to return to our keys not working. When they made the mistake, it deactivated our room keys but no one ever proactively told us or brought us new keys. The front desk then said management would call me and offered me 2000 bonus points, I never got a call fromt management and never received my bonus points (this is two weeks later). the water in the hotel was orange. I filled the tub twice and it was bright orange in color. January 8, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Mihir Bad Experience I stayed there for AENC conference with our team. When we checked in Two guest service reps were working the desk. Once I provided my information they did not tell us where we can park, where the rooms was, what type of rooms it was. We manage to find parking accross the street in a garage. We had reservation for room with two beds since I was sharing a room with my colleague. When we went to the room it had one bed. At that time my room key had my original rate $ 169 written on it. I called the front desk and they sent someone with a key to another room. This key card did not have rate listed on there. Next day, before we went to the conference we tried using the business center computers to check e-mails but none of the stations were working. When we checked out, i noticed that my rate was changed to $ 269. I spoke to the supervisor (with glasses) and he said that my rate did not change and only portion of my rate was pre paid (as i had booked prepaid rate $ 169). We come to conferences Raleigh area every year and will not be staying at this hotel again. December 13, 2011
Rated 3 out of 5 by Twinn2013 Great Location! Excellent location in downtown and walking distant to Convention Center. When I was stay here, hotel was fully booked because couple groups of convention staying in this hotel,.The hotel was super busy, unfortunately 1 of the 3 elevators was out of service, therefor, it was taking forever waiting for elevators to go up and down. A lot hotel guests need to take service elevator to get to their rooms, so inconvenience. The Management totally was not prepare for this event. January 22, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Moonying22 Warm Winter Refuge The day I arrived the area had experienced a major snow event. Although several people were waiting in line, staff were patient and friendly. The room was pleasantly warm, and surprisingly well lit. Despite the carpet having been vacuumed, it was a little on the dingy side. This however did not distract from the fact that I was extremely comfortable during my stay. February 28, 2015

Mountain biking makes me feel like a kid again! I love the feeling of freedom that I get splashing through creeks and racing downhill. My whole family loves mountain biking and we vary in skills. These three mountain biking destinations cater to all skill levels. They offer something fun for everyone.
Blankets Creek – Blankets Creek offers 15 miles of mountain biking trails near Atlanta. The seven trails feature a variety of terrain, creek crossings, boardwalks, and downhill speed. A training area gives riders a chance to practice before enjoying an easy pedal winding along Blankets Creek or a fast-flowing ride with technical elements.
Allatoona Creek – Nearly 20 miles of trail, ranging from beginner to expert, make this park perfect for bridging the gap between beginner and intermediate mountain biking. Follow up the one-mile beginners trail by advancing to slight elevation changes and more rock features on Turtleback Loop. Advanced riders pick up the speed on Mason's Bridge and take on the challenge of the expert-only Whipper Snapper Trail.
Five Points Recreation Area – This diverse trail network gives beginners a trail to get comfortable with mountain biking and adrenaline-pumping expert trails that twist through the forest. It's a great place to plan a mountain biking getaway, with camping nearby, at Cloudland Canyon State Park.

Vijayakant meets Jayalalithaa at her residence
The Desiya Murpokku Dravida Kazhagam (DMDK) led by actor Vijayakant will contest 41 seats as part of the AIADMK alliance in the Assembly elections on April 13.
The number of seats allotted to the DMDK was finalised after a meeting between AIADMK general secretary Jayalalithaa and DMDK president Vijayakant at the former's Poes Garden residence on Friday night.
While Mr. Vijayakant, who was accompanied his party presidium chairman Panruti S. Ramachandran and youth wing secretary L. K. Sudheesh, left without speaking to the media, a brief statement from Ms. Jayalalithaa's residence disclosed the seat-sharing agreement.
"The All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam entered into a seat-sharing agreement with the DMDK and the party has been allotted 41 seats," the statement said.
Mr. Vijayakant, who came to Ms. Jayalalithaa's residence around 9.25 p.m, had a nearly half-an-hour meeting with her.
The Left parties and Marumalarchi Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (MDMK), the other major parties in the AIADMK front, are likely to be invited for seat-sharing talks in the next few days.
Left leaders said they were told that a pact would be sealed with them on Friday, but it did not materialise as negotiations with DMDK could be completed only in the evening.
This is the first time that the DMDK, set up in 2005 by the veteran Tamil actor, is entering into an electoral alliance. Contesting alone, the party had polled a little over eight per cent in the 2006 Assembly elections and over 10 per cent in the 2009 Lok Sabha polls.

Writing Strategies and Skills document sample
Lesson 3: Writing Strategies Students with ASD and Writing Prewriting Strategies Drafting Strategies Editing/Revising Strategies The writing process can be a very difficult area for students with ASD due to problems with: • Language and communication • Social interaction • Fine motor skills • Attention and focus Thislesson will provide strategies to increase participation in the writing process for students with ASD that address these problem areas Often times, not enough instructional time is put into teaching prewriting strategies and allowing students time to engage in prewriting activities. Forstudents with ASD, providing opportunities to learn and use prewriting strategies is essential to prevent them from "shutting down" during writing activities. Forstudents with ASD who are interested in drawing, you can have them draw a picture about something as a prewriting activity. The students then can place numbers on their picture to indicate when they will write about each event/idea on the picture. The numbers can represent words they will produce, sentences, or paragraphs depending on their present level of writing performance. There is a writing strategy called Then the students write their Power Writing the uses outlining ideas that they shared on in a way that may be useful for paper (sentence power) students with ASD. The outline starts out like this: As students get more 1 advanced, you can add 3's to 2 2 elaborate on the 2's and also 2 add a 1 at the end to represent The 1 stands for the topic/main the conclusion/ending idea of the writing, and the 2's The students can use stand for supporting details "paragraph power" by having The students simple place a each 1 and 2 represent a word or short phrase next to paragraph in their paper each number to represent their thought (word power) For more information on Power After the outline is finished the Writing visit: students share their ideas orally http://www.thewritingsite.org/re with a peer partner or the sources/approaches/power/link teacher (language power) s.asp Tobuild motivation at the prewriting stage, you can do any of the following to give students ideas for writing: • Read a short picture book that can then be used to generate topic ideas • Show a picture as a writing prompt (the students can then write a story about what is going on in the picture) • Have students generate a list of things they are interested in that they can use as writing topics Forsome students with ASD the actual physical task of writing is so difficult due to their fine motor problems. For these students, allowing them to use a word processor to draft their writing can be quite helpful in reducing the stress of writing. Itmay be helpful for some students with ASD to have scribes A teacher or peer simply writes what the student says The student can then read back what was written The prompting/fading procedure can be helpful for students with ASD during the drafting process When students get "stuck" and cannot get their thoughts on paper the teacher can prompt by doing things such as: • Pointing to the prewriting the student generated to show the students that they already know what to write about because they planned it ahead of time • Starting the writing for the students and having them complete the sentence or write the next sentence(s) (ex. The teacher writes, "My favorite animal is …." and the student completes the sentence). The teacher may need to do this throughout the draft and gradually fade out how much writing is being provided by the teacher • Providing gentle encouragement (ex. "I can't wait to read what you write about turtles") As students are writing, provide positive reinforcement throughout. This can be done by: • Providing social praise (ex. Smiles, thumbs-up, high- fives) • Putting stars and happy faces on the students paper when they write a certain amount (ex. A student may get a star after each word they write, after every 3-5 words they write, or after each sentence they write) • Allow students to read what they wrote so far to a teacher/peer • Read what the student wrote aloud to the class • Give token reinforcement (ex. Stickers, coins, tickets) • Providing timed-writing can help students see a "light at the end of the tunnel" and build writing fluency • Tell the students they are going to write for specified time (one minute, two minutes, ten minutes ,etc.) and set a timer. • You can graph how many words the student writes in the designated amount of time and set a goal. Students can graph themselves if they are interested. • Provide positive reinforcement when the students engage in writing for the designated amount of time. Students with ASD may have difficulty understanding the purpose for editing. You can build motivation for editing by having them write for authentic audiences such as: • Producing a writing for the classroom website • Writing a book for younger children to read • Posting the writing in the classroom/school • Submit writing to local newspapers • Assign a particular genre (ex. poetry) (Kluth & Chandler-Olcott, 2008) You can use teacher think alouds to model editing techniques by doing things such as: • Reread a text outline to see if any words were left out • Insert a caret to indicate a word that was left out • Reread a text looking for one kind of error (ex. spelling, ending punctuation, capitalization) and model how you correct the error When requiring students with ASD to edit their writing, it is important to explicitly teach the expectations Peer conferencing can be used, however, providing specific guidelines for how students will participate in the conferencing and what they are expected to look for is important. Editingchecklists can be helpful during peer conferencing or independent editing. These checklists can be differentiated depending on present levels of writing performance. Writea present level of performance for writing for student with ASD. Write a writing goal for the student. Provide a specific description of the strategies you will use to teach prewriting skills, drafting skills, and editing skills. Kluth,P. (2003). "You're going to love this kid!"

Canon ZR830
Canon's ZR830, the middle of the company's three new MiniDV camcorders, is a whole lot like last year's model, the ZR600. In fact, other than a longer 35x optical zoom lens and some minor menu changes on the ZR830, the two products are virtually the same. Of course, given the ZR600's solid performance, that's a good thing. But, if you plan to shoot any still images with your camcorder, you might want to step up to the ZR850, which includes a 1-megapixel sensor instead of the 680,000-pixel CCD found in this model.
We like the layout of the controls on this year's ZRs. All controls are within reach of your thumb or fingers on the right side, and on the bezel of the 2.7-inch wide screen on the left side. This is much better than designs that put important buttons on the left side of the body, behind the screen, where you can't readily see them. Plus, Canon redesigned the menu system to be more like the one on its digital still cameras. When you press the Function button, a list of options appears on the left side of the LCD, and the choices for each of those options appear in a strip along the bottom of the screen. Last year's ZR600 had three buttons below its LCD screen, but the ZR830 only has two: Function and Digital Effects. Canon now makes you delve into the menus to switch between wide-screen and 4:3 recording modes. The lack of accessory shoe and microphone input is annoying, but also typical of camcorders in this price range.
Canon's Easy mode lets you shoot on autopilot, and does a nice job making decisions for you. Program mode gives you a choice of eight autoexposure presets, four white balance settings (including evaluative), three image effects, and a handful of digital effects. You have to dig one layer deep--into the setup menu--to choose one of the six shutter speeds, adjust zoom speed, switch between 16:9 and 4:3 recording, or turn on and off the digital zoom, automatic slow shutter, or electronic image stabilization. Our one gripe about the setup menus is that they don't scroll--that is, when you reach the top, you can't wrap to the bottom by pressing up again. Since the option to exit is at the bottom, this becomes even more frustrating.
In Still mode, you can capture JPEG images at a pixel resolution of up to 1024x768. You still have access to the same autoexposure, white balance, and image effect settings, though your shutter speed options are limited to 1/60, 1/100, 1/250, or auto. That's more than you see in some camcorders, as is this Canon's nine-point autofocus system. The stills we captured were better than we see from some submegapixel camcorders, but can't approach what you can get from a decent dedicated still camera.

Flat is very cozy and warm. It's very well located, just near the bus and metro stations, also it's not far to walk to city center by foot. David met us near the flat and gave as tips about city.
We had a great time in Budapest. The apartment was just perfect. Very well located and super clean and comfy.
There are quite a lot of restaurants, cafes and bars in walking distance which were all really nice and not that touristy. The underground station and tram station is right around the corner.
All in all, we had a really great time exploring Budapest thanks to David and this apartment! I highly recommend staying here!
David was very welcoming and gave us plenty of tips for getting around the city when we arrived and even highlighted some things for us to do on a map, nothing was further than maybe a 45 minute walk with the majority being well within 30 mins.
The flat it self was lovely, clean spacious and provided all the small comforts we needed like wi-fi and a hair-dryer it was exactly what we needed, somewhere to sleep, wash and dump our stuff whilst we explored the city.
I couldn't recommend staying here enough, and I will recommend this to all my friends who visit, the value for money is almost insane, you couldn't even get a hostel between me and my girlfriend for this kind of money!
David's apartment was a home away from home in Budapest. Clean, spacious and well-located - we walked almost everywhere. David was a very helpful host, meeting us at the apartment upon arrival and giving us lots of advice and suggestions for things to do/places to eat etc in the city. Thank you David for a wonderful stay in Budapest!
Dear David,
We had a lovely week-end in Budapest. What a wondeful city! Many thaks for your hospitality. The appartment is very cosy, clean, well decorated and well located. I will recommand it. Hope you get back the keys and everythink was ok in the appart.
Again thank you.
David is a friendly host, he greeted us with welcome drinks and gave us recommendations about Budapest. David's apartment has a really good location in the city centre. There is Corvin Plaza near by the apartment, and metro and tram stations are also very close. The apartment was clean and there was everything we needed inside it. It was our first time in Budapest and it was very wonderful for us.
David is a great host, told us briefly about the city, what to do and what not to. Clear instructions from the airport. The house itself is great, just like in the pictures. Great value for money.
This host has 309 reviews for other properties.View Other Reviews
In the last five years I worked as marketing manager but lately I have started to interested in tourism and hospitality too in Budapest and Aix en Provence soon.
I have spent many times in other cities and I learnt about hospitality so much. Sometimes I was dissapointed in hotels and I missed the real favor or kindness. I would like to help to enjoy your stay in this exciting city and make every single days memorable. If you want to go out or have a real good meal I can help to find your style as my friends helped me in Dublin or San Francisco.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Go easy on me folks - this is my first typeface.
It's based on a Spurred Egyptian I found in an old book. It's not complete yet - still a few glyphs missing - but I think it's finally getting there.
I've been staring at it so much in the last couple of weeks that I'm loosing my objectivity.
The first PDF shows what I have so far. The other two are examples of the font in use.
Thanks in advance for any feedback.
Sorry Dan, I thought such typefaces belonged to the yore and nobody bother to create them nowadays.
What kind of an answer is that?
I love the ligatures. And hey, steampunk's in, so there may be more uses for this font than people expect.
-Elizabeth C
I love "Steampunk"! Which reminds me - another project I need to get back to is the brass, glass and leather goggles complete with kaleidoscope flip downs.
Right now though - building a font is a project-and-a-half that keeps me off the streets.
Bowl of P/R could stand to be bigger.
The A (all variants) seems a little narrow and unbalanced at the apex; I would pull the top-right nodes to the right a bit so that the right stroke has a more consistent slope and weight.
This may be more a matter of taste, but I'm not sure the sports-swash crossbars really go with the style.
