Got Admob working for Android :)
AddMob will never be included in any of my apps no matter what they pay!!!!
Have you seen the adds they push?
It is a reflection on you and your product what you advertise within, just say'n...
I delete any app that uses AddMob from my devices AND any other apps by the developer are avoided as well.
Just MY opinion.
Please make your own choice, just remember there will be consequences.
I agree with @Hotaman.
I was just looking at a coronaSDK built app the other day that runs AddMob ads. I'm not saying the app name because I don't think it's important.
I was shown an ad that said something like "Claim your free iPad2 Click & Win". When I clicked on it I was taken to this site.
You are asked to enter your mobile phone number and in the lighter smaller print you are told that a recurring charge of $9.99 will be charged to your mobile phone bill.
I believe these types of adds are scams that count on gullible people to enter without understanding what they are agreeing to. They probably make you jump through all kinds of hoops to cancel.
My reaction to seeing this was that I don't want these types of adds in any app that I release.
You might also consider the alternative to admob and inmobi I created here http://moonbeamdevelopment.com/?name=corona-lua-ad-network-leadbolt
also inmobi is quiet bad now.
looks several adnetworks, look to get more advertisers by offering cheap CPC.
wish Corona would support MobFox, where I have much better experience.
from experience on Native Android app nearly 3 !! Times InMobi .
Was my post removed?
Nevermind - just found it again..
its compared with a daily 100.000 requests over one week.
fillrate i don't see in mobfox.
mobfox ctr 2.17% to inmobi 1.19%
sounds good.
just make sure its confirm with their terms.
best get an confirmation by email and telling exactly what you like to do.
than i open to implement your solution also.
i just like to avoid any problem by implementing a hack that finally could lead
to account termination at mob fox :)
We tried MoxFox at the beginning of this year but ultimately left them for three major reasons.
1) LOW fill rates
2) They are just a medium to pass ads out to you from other ad networks - in which they take yet another cut of what you would be earning.
3) You have to wait NET 90 on some of the ad networks because again, the ad networks pay Mobfox, then they pay you.
It wasn't an ideal solution for us so we actually use several different choice ad networks and mediate them ourselves using a custom written ad database we control. That way when one ad network is tanking, we can switch over to another and try them. It's sort of like day trading :)
i see that mob fox changed a lot in the last months.
from low filtrate..i get now around 90%
about medium for other networks... i don't know.
but i know other networks like inmobi.. get ads from Mobfox :)
anyhow what would you advice.
Right now.. ONLY Inmobi is at all the worst case.
we can't choose at all :(
LeadBolt leads the way :)
We also use Admob, Pontiflex, and airpush on occasion but we keep push notifications off most of the time because of the hate-mail you'll get :P
I've got the lua wrapper and all information available on our website here http://moonbeamdevelopment.com/?name=corona-lua-ad-network-leadbolt
Alot more ad network info in my book also here, http://moonbeamdevelopment.com/?name=Making-Money-With-Android-Book
It's based on Android side but it's very relevant to iOS as well..
Anyone know if web-popups with admob works in the simulator with the new Native UI on mac?
I've just tried to implement Admob to my Android app:
In test mode, i can successfully view a test ad on my phone.
But then, when i disable test mode no ads can be displayed.
However, logging into Admob, in the site & apps page, next to my app, the request keep increasing (more than 10000). So I think i have implement the ads properly, but don't know why i can't see them.
Another point is, the eCPM and fill rate is always 0.
Corona: 645 Daily Build
Help me, please! Thanks!
If I'm not mistaken, I think this AdMob hack is not working anymore now that Google has moved all web-based ads to AdSense. From my understanding, AdMob ads must now be served via the AdMob SDK. I have stopped using the AdMob hack as I do not want to risk getting my AdMob account terminated by Google. And from what I hear, Google is very quick to terminate accounts. And having 10000 or more requests per day with zero fill rate, might trigger the alarm bells with the AdMob team. The best thing we can do, in my opinion is to petition Ansca to provide official support for AdMob in the Corona SDK. I wonder what is taking Ansca sooooo looong. Sigh.
@kam187 i have made everything that you said but nothing happens
I m using Daily Build CoronaSDK-2011.689
By the way sorry my lazy brain

No place holder - Its strange by default Corona allow internet connection. You have a sample production code to show ?
So is this guide still working? Inmobi is a pain, i've a 25% fill rate.
please !! ad a new adnetwork... additional to inmobi !!!
hi.. I've used this code and it works fine in "HCL Me tablet" but the same code is not working in Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 . It displays the add space but no Ad is coming... pls Help..
You mentioned you get around $10-$15 per day. Across how many apps?
Thanks for the info!
None of the native Corona Ad Networks have me convinced yet. I've had good results with AdMob in other apps, so I might just try this out in one of my next Corona apps.
I guess that this implementation is a little bit in a "grey area" in AdMob's eyes, though.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't I be able to open android_ad.html in my device's mobile browser and see some ads?
I've entered my publisher ID. Running on Android 2.2.2
I've also set test to true.
Ok this trick works but i've encountered a great poblem a week ago: my app id was blocked by Admob so my app stopped to get response and ads. Is it normal? Anyone else got my problem?
Blocked, eh? Yeah, that's what I was afraid of.
This implementation does seem to be in a "grey area", and I don't think Admob would endorse it.
I was planning to experiment with this in my next app, but this news has made me think that it's maybe just not worth it...
Here there is my report from admob (exported to .csv), and as you can see admob stopped to send me response on 22/Dec

I switched to inner-active for high-end devices and a banner image to my market account for low-end ones.
But i would prefer to switch back to admob if possible.
Done :)
I'm the first who download your game from getjar, the game is very nice imo.
Coming back to admob issue, how many request/impression dou you have at day Kam? i was blocked the day after i reached 100k.
@ shark.androidlab
I think that they look more closely at the number of requests that you have.
I just had a look at your statistics that you posted in reply #136.
You have over 200k requests? WHOA! That's a lot of requests! Over how many apps?
I also see that your CTR is extremely low (0.08%). From that alone it looks like you're changing ads every few seconds. Have your changed the default refresh-rate of 30 seconds to something very low?
I only have one app using AdMob (It's developed with Xcode, and I'm using the official AdMob SDK).
Per day, I have on average 8k requests, 99% fill-rate and a CTR of 1% (30s refresh rate).
With that I have a revenue of around $3/day.
Yeah, from my experience that's what I would consider a normal CTR.
I think that's why @shark.androidlab got blocked. Way too many requests/impressions with very few actual clicks.
I also have Admob running on my apps and it is working fine.
However I tried to set a house ad campaign to cross promote my own apps and it didn't work.
I wonder if house ads campaigns do not work for Corona apps as they don't go through the regular Admob adherence process that requires the Admob api.
Has anyone tried to set a house ad campaign for your aps? Is there any trick to make it work?
ps.: I would be interest to cross promote other publishers apps. I currently generate 2MM ad requests/ day on android.
Thanks for any help you guys can provide.
Contact me offline for some cross-promotion help. We have our own network we've used for the past couple of years and are interested in opening it up to the public. It proves quite effective..
Richard, thanks for replying. What's your e-mail and Skype address? Best!
Hey, I just coded an ad mediation module which supports admob, inneractive, inmobi, herewead and house ads. My admob implementation mimics latest admob sdks http requests instead of using some hacky web html ad container. So you will get the best fillrate possible from admob.
Please check it out
Ad Mediator for Corona:
This looks VERY promising!
Thanks for the share.
Once I have some spare time I'll be attempting to create a Mobclix plugin (if nobody beats me to it).
LunarAds (http://lunarads.com) is a server based ad model that currently supports admob, leadbolt, leadbolt app walls, and tapit ads. This week we are adding Pontiflex ads and a couple other ad new networks as well.
Our model is "One SDK to Rule them all" and is tailored to Corona users. Our belief is simple, why use multiple ad network SDK's in your app source code and have to do imminent app updates to support newer network SDK's? Just use one (LunarAds) and support all of them in one bang!
Using Lunar Ads
Using our system is a snap. Simply login at http://LunarAds.com, create a new app channel, specify which ads networks you want that app to run (including your own in-house ads), then put the Lunar.lua file in your project folder and call it from any Corona page with a simple require statement. You can adjust which ad networks you want to use at anytime, and our list is growing rapidly - by the end of February we will have over 8 ad networks to choose from!
LunarAds also keeps track of the following analytics for you for each app channel you create as well;
Screen width
Screen height
OS build
Lunar channel
Device IP
App Version
With our reporting engine, you can instantly grab valuable information about how your app is being used.
Google Analytics
Want more? How about using Google analytics tracking inside your app as well?
No problem, just select your channel to use Google tracking code and specify the code channel provided by Google, and you can instantly send tracking stats to Google servers and watch real time data.

Images of Earth Taken by Distant Spacecraft
Two of NASA's interplanetary spacecraft, Cassini and MESSENGER, photographed Earth on July 19, 2013. NASA has just released color and black-and-white images of Earth and our Moon which were taken from millions of miles away. The color images were taken by NASA's Cassini spacecraft through the rings of Saturn using Cassini's highest-resolution camera. Since this image was taken from nearly 900 million miles away, the Earth and our Moon look like small blue and white dots. MESSENGER captured the black-and-white image from a distance of 61 million miles away in Mercury's orbit. The Earth and our Moon are smaller than a pixel in this image but they are very large due to overexposure.

Peaceful, Plentiful,
and veteran activists from the Capital Region join the huge
turnout for Sundays historic march, and help send the RNC
a pointed message: We have had enough
going in the deep water, says Nicola with a small laugh.
Its not like a little small-town thing.
Its nearly 8 AM, and Nicola has been ensconced in her seat
toward the front of the Yankee Trails bus for well over an
hour. One of the many first-time protesters on the bus, she
didnt sleep so well last night. At 3 AM she got up and turned
to her Bible for reassurance. It opened to a passage in which
Paul is imprisoned for speaking out against the leaders of
the time, and God tells him to be brave. Taking that message
to heart, Nicola was able to get a few hours of shut-eye before
making the trip from her Glenville home to Albany where she
got on the bus for the ride to United for Peace and Justices
massive anti-Bush and antiwar march on the eve of the Republican
National Convention.
Nicola has a hard time picking out which issues are the most
pressing, but she wants money redirected from tax breaks for
the rich to education, and says we need new strategies to
deal with terrorism beyond traditional warfare. Her motivations
for going to Manhattan today include knowing shes not alone
in her views, wanting to be counted, and hoping she may inspire
someone who may have been teetering about who to vote for.
Stylishly dressed and soft-spoken, she doesnt look like a
stereotypical protester, and neither do a majority of the
people on bus 240. There are more polo shirts than T-shirts,
lots of sensible shoes and baseball caps, and one man in the
front of the bus wearing a shirt with a flag pattern superimposed
on a deer head and the words Hunting: An American Tradition.
The atmosphere is not exactly tense, but it is a little grim.
Unlike at the massive direct actions of 1999 and 2000, the
feeling is not one of pushing necessary change forward, but
rather of holding back encroaching disaster. Few people are
here because they expect it to be fun.
just feel sort of desperate, says Sherry Marty, who drove
into Albany this morning from western Massachusetts with her
daughter. I hope that enough people come, that someone else
will pay attention who hasnt been paying attention.
consider myself to be a patriot and what Im seeing now has
nothing to do with democracy. Its almost enough to make me
physically ill, says Mike, from Minerva, also traveling with
his daughter.
very much felt an onus to come out to do something because
I write letters to editors and sign petitions and at some
point you have to get on your feet and do something, explains
Chicago transplant Brady Gsell.
hides behind the flag and he hides behind Christianity, says
Bill Brooks of Scotia. Im a Christian, and I resent the
fact that he thinks hes serving this country by divine right.
Brooks isnt worried about police harassment, but he is concerned
that the demonstration be peaceful so it wont hurt Kerrys
issues that brought out the newbies and the veteran activists
are pretty much the samethe war in Iraq, loss of civil liberties,
constitutional rights and democratic integrity, environmental
degradation, economic fairness. So are their hopes for the
march, which are modest and realistic: They want honest and
fair media coverage, to feel among like-minded people, and
to demonstrate to fellow Americans and the rest of the world
that there is active, and most importantly diverse, dissent
against what is summarized as the Bush agenda.
The issue of being able to protest at all is also alive, with
the fight over a rally permit [Orange, Smorange, FYI, Aug.
19] fresh in everyones minds. Its disappointing that the
Republicans seem to be so welcomed, but folks that are thinking
critically and trying to express their views are not welcomed
in the same way, says Louise McNeilly.
Students for Peaceful Alternatives, down from SUNY Potsdam,
felt it a little more personally; they were stopped at 3 AM
by the border patrol and asked if they had terrorists in their
feel that if George W. Bush is reelected thisll be my last
ever chance to exercise my constitutional rights, says Jason
Chapman, another first-time protester.
As important as the diversity of the march is, it is still
the longtime activists who have made it possible for so many
people to get there. The Monday before, the usual suspectscore
antiwar/progressive activists who likely couldnt tell you
how many protests of this nature theyve been toare on their
own in the Social Justice Center on Central Avenue. The group
of eight, simultaneously weary and wired, struggle under the
gaze of Martin Luther King Jr. posters and a rack of colorful
political postcards to stick to an agenda as they tackle the
daunting task of coordinating the transportation to the protest.
They have five buses reserved, but after the mailed-in checks
and reports from various stores selling the tickets are painstakingly
tabulated (No you cant put it on the computer and alphabetize
it, says the Ashcroft-era-minded woman opening the mail.
Im buying a ticket and I refuse to have my name on a computer.),
they have only enough people to fill two buses. They agree
to cancel two of the five they had reserved, figuring last-minute
types will fill the third.
The logistics are so overwhelming there is hardly time to
be disappointed at the ticket sales so far. At one point two
different people are on cell phones trying to reach people
who have critical information while two other conversations
are going on and the facilitator is trying heroically to get
the discussion back on track. Radio stations need to be called,
fliers of emergency phone numbers compiled, plans for getting
from where the buses are parking in New Jersey in to the march
figured out. Most people in the room have multiple responsibilities
for the week, leading more than once to the silence familiar
to any overtaxed group where everyone is hoping someone else
will break down and volunteer for a given task.
At one point someone volunteers people who arent present
to be bus captains, and theres a momentary pause of relief
before the room realizes thats not OK, and someone insists
on calling the people in question to see if theyre actually
And yet, on Sunday morning at 6:30 AM, there are four buses
waiting outside the Madison and Eagle streets parking garages
and another on its way filled with members of Bethlehem Neighbors
for Peace. Joe Seeman, who has been the phone contact for
the buses, still looks frazzled as he tries to account for
people who have paid for seats and determine how many, if
any, are free, but overall those who were at the organizing
meeting look like a weight has been lifted from their shoulders.
A swell of people had made their decisions at the last minute,
nearly filling another two buses, and thanks to Albanys status
as a Southwest Airlines hub, others had flown in from Dallas,
Chicago, and Florida to fill up the remaining seats. The hard
work and scrambling was paying off, and the Capital Region
was on its way to represent at the RNC.
Sunday afternoon, from the middle of a wall-to-wall packed
and sweltering Seventh Avenue, it is easy to believe you are
in the middle of the largest protest the city has seen in
decades, but also completely impossible to get a real sense
of the scale400,000 according to organizers, 250,000 according
to mainstream radio reports that day, and 100,000 according
to a surprising number of newspapers. In the hours it takes
to move a dozen blocks, not losing your companions in the
press of bodies, staying hydrated, and avoiding being offered
your 20th socialist newspaper compete with taking in the swirl
of different people represented, bouncy drum rhythms, and
creative signs.
most of the Capital Region folks, the day passes without incident,
aside from sore feet. They inch their way up to Madison Square
Garden, chant Go Home at the cordoned off convention area,
boo the hotels draped with red-white-and-blue bunting and
Welcome RNC banners, and shout Change the channel at the
huge Fox News screen at the corner of 34th street. After the
rubbernecking at the Garden, the march thins out considerably,
and groups of people drop by the wayside to rest their feet
and eat some lunch before heading down the u-shaped march
route to Union Square.
It might be partially exhaustion and relief, but the group
that trickles into bus 240 around 6 PM is a considerably more
relaxed one than the one that had headed out to negotiate
the PATH trains eight hours earlier. They speak more softly,
but more happily, pleased with the diversity of what they
saw, the absence of violence or police harassment, and the
overall turnout. They have been counted, done what they can
for now.
was impressed, given the size of the crowd, how pretty much
respectful people were, says Mike. The energy was terrific.
Kerry Brooks is even pleased with the counterprotesters. Good
for them, she says. They knew not everyone agreed with them
and they would be in the vast minority. She had a little
more trouble, actually, with the communists. You have the
right to do that, thats what our countrys all about, she
says, but its kind of ironic that they were doing that while
were all trying to exercise our democratic rights.
For those like Greg from New Lebanon and Jim from Albany,
who were expecting a historic event, theres hope at least
for now that this was indeed one for the textbooks.
And Nicola made it through her deep water. In fact, she says,
seeing all the children there made me wish Id brought my
and Out at the RNC
which a Metroland reporter strides confidently into
the Republicans midst, and is forced to toast George W. Bush
in order to make it out alive
in a bar on 33rd Street with Beverly and Hannah, operations
assistants for the Republican National Convention, and I just
toasted the notion of electing George W. Bush for another
four years.
Weve spent the last hour discussing the choice of New York
City as host for the Grand Old Partys bash, and the two ladies
from Arkansas have let their matching white cowboy hats slip
way back on their heads while they drink vodka tonics. This
is the closest Ive come to the actual convention in 48 hours,
and Im getting desperate.
always loved Manhattan, Beverly tells me, and now I can
do two of my favorite thingsdo some great shopping and help
George W. Bush get the four more years he deserves!
four more years! echoes Hannah, raising an arm of her red
dress to repeat the toast. They look over at me expectantly,
so I shrug and raise my glass again.
Make no mistakethe Republicans knew exactly what they were
getting into by bringing their party to the Big Apple. In
fact, in the last 48 hours its become increasingly apparent
that not only did they know what they were getting into, but
that I, in fact, didnt have a clue.
Now, just a few blocks away, the Republicans master plan
is taking a clearer form. The bullies are winning, and Ive
been seeing it all go down.
I arrived in Manhattan a day ago to report on the counterconvention
scenethat is, the various protest activities going on around
the city in response to the Republicans visit. Some were
permitted, some negotiated, some planned as peaceful civil
disobediance, some just cultural events. It seemed like an
easy enough task, as demonstrations were scheduled throughout
the four-day affair. By most accounts, the choice of New York
City was anticipated to be a monumental mistake by Republican
decision makers, an ill-timed and overconfident slip-up that
would cost them the election.
But it quickly became apparent how far from the truth that
assessment was. The city had quickly become a police state,
and with a heightened terror alert and the presence of high-ranking
officialsincluding Vice President Dick Cheney, who arrived
in town that daynearly 32,000 officers were locking down
the proceedings. No day off, overtime rule or vacation was
going to stand in the way of the Republicans party.
only had two years to prepare for this, a friend of mine
in the NYPD laughed, and we still havent decided how to
handle most of it. Today was supposed to be my day offtomorrow,
toobut instead were working 16-hour days, seven days a week.
Hell, I think weve got more police than protesters.
Set to coincide with Mondays convention kickoff was the Still
We Rise march, a joint effort by various social action groups
around the state. Event organizers had mapped out a route
that would take them within sight of Madison Square Garden,
the convention headquarters, but a glaring inconsistency quickly
revealed itself in the citys policy toward the demonstrations.
While many of the citys streets were closed whenever a delegate
was traveling from place to place, there was no such kindness
extended to the masses protesting the event. As was the case
for the rest of the marches occurring during the convention
(except for the one mass permitted march on Sunday, before
most of the delegates arrived), police forced the Still We
Rise masses to navigate a circuitous route that took them
far away from the conventionand out of sight of their intended
audience, the delegates.
Despite an oppressive heat, participants in the march were
generally good-natured about the redirection, and the squads
of security that lined their pathnearly one policeman for
every marcherwere given little reason for concern. (Earlier
that day, however, I was resting on a bench in Union Square
when I overheard a nearby policemens walkie-talkie refer
to the Still We Rise march as anarchist activity, and a
warning went out to look for more of the same.)
More direct results of the heightened security were clear
later on, as several eventsincluding a massive rally sponsored
by rap mogul Russell Simmonswere rumored to have been canceled
due to insurance problems. Apparently, it costs a significant
amount of money to hold a rally when the citys on Orange
Monday, which had once appeared to be a busy day for protest-related
events, soon dwindled to only two major actions: the Still
We Rise march and a similar procession that started at the
United Nations and worked its way toward the convention, only
to be turned away when it approached Madison Square Garden.
In hindsight, I should have expected the chaos of A31, Tuesdays
collection of protests, as everyone seemed a bit too gracious
during the previous days actions. For the second day in a
row, the sun was relentless, and tempers were beginning to
flare. Police were tense, as another group of protesters had
been arrested Monday night for attempting to approach the
convention center and hindering nearby traffic.
This police presence was certainly hard to ignore. The streets
around Madison Square Garden and delegates hotels had already
been shut off to the public, with wartime-style checkpoints
erected at each endcomplete with vehicle-stopping barriers
and sharpshooters positioned on nearby rooftops. On the streets,
helicopters would pass overhead every few minutes, and soldiers
armed with automatic rifles supplemented the NYPDs ranks.
Officers lugged radiation detectors and bomb-squad equipment
around the convention site as K-9 units stood guard on the
fringes. New York City, it seemed, had been invaded.
But who were the invaders and who were the invaded? By most
accounts, those who worked in the city were afforded the same
consideration as protesters by much of the police force, herded
from corner to corner and subject to aggressive questioning
upon approaching the convention or delegates hotels.
In order to approach the convention site, a set of color-coded
passes determined how much access was available to an individual,
some allowing entrance only if the bearer was accompanied
by a delegate. Throughout the day, crowds of Young Republicans
in badly fitting suits could be found hovering near a checkpoint,
hoping to earn a delegates blessing. Any delegates who wished
to travel around the city received VIP treatment, with lanes
of traffic halted for their passage and streets shut down
when they traveled by foot. Manhattan was their playground,
and for those of us deprived of the Republican-approved press
credentials, opportunities to interact with attending Republicans,
let alone the delegates, were few and far between.
And maybe thats where the genius of it all lies. Maybe thats
where Beverly and Hannah have got the right ideaNew York
City just might be the best place in the world for the Republican
Convention. In a state that consistently votes on the Democrat
line, there was no reason to believe that any of the chaos
accompanying the Republicans arrival would cost a single
electoral vote. In a post-Sept. 11 world, full of NYPD hats
and terrorist scares, who could question the men with the
few delegates I encountered seemed well aware of their favored
position, and had the sort of swagger that 32,000 trained
bodyguards on someone elses payroll tends to provide. And,
as one of the presidents campaign advisors put it on the
day before the event, the angry crowds were simply considered
Democrat sympathizers.
Of course, that a significant portion of the protesters called
for an alternative to Kerry and Bush went unnoticed and unreported
by most media outlets with access to the event. For some,
though, there were other reasons to be indifferent about the
counterconvention activities.
just waiting for a celebrity to show up, explained a reporter
for People magazine who had taken up a post near me
during a demonstration along Fashion Avenue. And strangely
enough, despite the recent outpouring of anti-Republican sentiment
from the nations household names, there wasnt a celebrity
to be seen in any of the crowds that gathered during the conventions
first two daysnot even in Times Square. The absence of these
Rock the Vote champions was almost eerie.
And without a voice in counterpoint, the Republicans pulled
off in the first two days of the convention what no one deemed
possible in the days leading up to the event. They marginalized
the thousands of people in the streetturning them into a
group that, according to Beverly, was just a bunch of Kerry
So, on the second night, I set out to cover a loosely organized
march from the site of the World Trade Center to the arrival
points for Republican delegates. From the start of the march,
it was clear that the police had no intention of letting this
event get underway: Hordes of protesters were corralled on
each of the corners near Ground Zero and prevented from joining
into one cohesive unit. Only those who had arrived early by
subway were able to set out, and that they didalong a route
that had them marching dozens of city blocks away from their
intended path.
In Union Square, the groups were able to marshal their forces
and set out for the convention center, but things turned sour
as the march neared the intersection of 33rd Street and Broadway.
It was evening by the time they reached 33rd Street, and the
police forces had already massed in anticipation of their
arrivalplanning to ensure that the groups remained far from
delegates sight. When they arrived, the massive assembly,
numbering in the thousands, mixed with the normal sidewalk
population and spilled out into the streets, edging into the
lane specifically reserved for convention vehicles.
New Yorks finest reacted with cold efficiency, quickly fracturing
the massive, unified body of dissent into small, disorganized
clusters. Those who werent forced onto blocks far away from
the delegates travel route were rounded up and arrested.
the photographers faults, policemen shouted as they closed
down after block. Its all the people who are stopping to
write things down that are making us do this.
And there we were, the journalists who fell outside of the
conventions approved press corps, stuck among the masses
and targeted by the powers that be. Pedestrians caught up
in the protests surge quickly turned on anyone carrying a
camera or a notebook. The legal observers brought in for the
action had already been sectioned off from the rest of the
crowd, leaving us there to report from the inside in the midst
of a suddenly hostile crowd.
Nearby, a cop knocked a camera out of a dreadlocked girls
hands, telling her to, Go get a job. It was carefully orchestrated
chaos, and many of us were forced to flee, licking our wounds
in the nearest doorway. This was the Republican Convention
the way the Grand Old Party intendedangry protesters turning
on each other, group arrests and a ratings boon for the convention-approved
media conveniently posted behind police lines.
And thats how I came to be in the bar with Beverly and Hannah,
surrounded by Republicans and toasting the president.
what is it that you do again? asks Hannah.
in the media, I tell her, and the flinch is unmistakable.
The question is a test, just like the initial toast, but its
been a long daymy last one in the cityand Im looking forward
to getting back to a place where theres a little more sanity.
There are two days left of the Republican convention, and
I have already had my camera swatted by police officers, been
threatened with jail time for taking notes and been attacked
by irate fashionistas.
the regular media, I lieits a white lie, a lie of self-preservation
in a hostile city. I do publicity for the police department
and soldiers and all that troop-supporting sort of thing.
Its all very patriotic.
police need publicity people? Hannah asks incredulously.
this city, I tell her, everybody needs publicity.
lets hope the good publicity goes to the right people, she
winks at me and raises her glass again. To George W. Bush?
hope so, I shrug, and raise my glass. To George W. Bush!

Man involved in four-car crash arrested for DUI
PORT ORCHARD — A 34-year-old Port Orchard man involved in a four-car wreck Tuesday on Bethel-Burley Road was charged Wednesday in Kitsap County District Court with driving under the influence.
Matthew Ray Walker has two alcohol-related offenses and was driving with a probationary license, according to a report from the Kitsap County Sheriff's Office.
Sheriff's deputies responded to reports of the wreck near SE Mullenix Road shortly after 5 p.m. They found fluid and debris scattered on the roadway in the 9200 block of Bethel Burley Road SE south of SE Mullenix Road, along with skid marks 40 feet long.
One driver in the line of cars near the accident said a red car that appeared to have caused the pileup had left the scene. Deputies located the car, a 1990 Ford Tempo driven by Walker, traveling south on Bethel Burley.
Walker stated he didn't have insurance. There were two open beer cans on the floorboard of the car, the Sheriff's Office report states.
One witness said Walker's car hit a stopped minivan, which hit the car in front of it, which struck a fourth car. Two of the cars had left the scene by the time deputies and Washington State Patrol troopers arrived. The minivan had no reportable damage, according to its driver.
Walker's blood alcohol level tested shortly after the wreck was 0.16, twice the legal limit, according to the report.

Ok maybe this is a stupid question. I see that mp3 list a transflective lcd that is out of stock. Also found a few places in the UK that sell them. However after reading and searching the net for a few hrs I can't find anywhere in the US to buy them.
I'm getting ready to make a mod to my 04 Maxima and after reading on this forum I've decided to only use a transflective lcd.
and/or TMR Lcd's
do a google search for TMR.
Oh TMR, thought you meant transflective.
I just need a daylight readable 7" screen for my car. From what I've read so far a reg. lcd probably won't work.
we are working on getting more of the Transflectives back in stock. Not sure how long you can wait, but I just wanted to let you know that they are coming.
I don't have an ETA as I'm not directly involved with that aspect of the company.

Peter Karmanos, Jr., shown here at the 2013 Goodfellow of the Year tribute breakfast, has started a new tech company called MadDog Technology. / Regina H. Boone/Detroit Free Press
Peter Karmanos Jr., the cofounder of Detroit-based Compuware, has emerged from retirement to found a new tech start-up.
MadDog Technology, based on Pierce Street in Birmingham, registered with the state early this month. Its bare-bones website lists just two employees: Karmanos and former Compuware employee Mary Vellucci.
The nature of MadDogs business was not immediately clear on Thursday. The company did not return a message for comment.
Karmanos, 70, cofounded Compuware with two other men in a converted Southfield motel. The business software company saw tremendous growth, went public in 1992 and peaked in the late 1990s during the Internet boom and proliferation of Y2K bug work.
Compuware revenues have since fallen but have stabilized in recent years. It is still Michigans largest tech company.
Karmanos stepped down as Compuwares CEO in 2011 and retired as its board chairman at the end of last March, shortly after he and other board members rejected a $2.3-billion takeover bid from a New York hedge fund.
Karmanos-Compuware relations have been rocky since then. Last spring, the company canceled a long-planned farewell party for Karmanos citing cost concerns. In the fall, Karmanos criticized its management in a salty diatribe following a public speech.
Compuware responded to the outburst by canceling Karmanos $600,000-a-year consulting contract and lucrative stock options.

The agony of defeat
November 26, 2013
By Christina Corrales-Toy
Issaquah girls lose second straight finale heartbreaker
This was supposed to be their year.
After a painful loss to rival Skyline in last year's state championship, the Issaquah High School girls soccer team was not about to let the sting of second place plague them again.
The Eagles were off to a great start in 2013, finally defeating the Spartans in a thrilling shootout victory in the state quarterfinals Nov. 16.
They ran past Olympia with ease, notching a 3-0 win in the state semifinals Nov. 22.
Yet, for the second straight year, the Eagles came up short in the 4A state title game after a heartbreaking 3-2 penalty-kick shootout loss to Central Valley at Puyallup's Sparks Stadium Nov. 23.
"It's disappointing, but we gave it a really hard fight," Issaquah junior Devan Talley said. "They're a really good team, and we're just going to have to come out next year and play harder."
Talley gave Issaquah an early lead, scoring in the 16th minute, off a pass from Issaquah forward Rachel Wheeler.
Issaquah held the 1-0 lead until the 49th minute, when Central Valley's Savannah Hoekstra scored.
"After the first 30 minutes of the game, it was like wow, we we're just on fire, we're in their head, and then the last 10 minutes of the half, Central Valley kind of gave a run at us," Issaquah coach Tom Bunnell said.
The Eagles recaptured the lead after senior Juliana da Cruz came up with an unassisted goal in the game's 71st minute.
Central Valley's Hailey Spooner tied it up in the 79th minute, ultimately sending the teams to overtime.
The score remained tied after two overtime periods, forcing the penalty kick shootout.
Issaquah missed two of its first three penalty kicks, a hole they were unable to overcome, as Central Valley kicked its way to the state title.
"I'm disappointed by the whole thing and I'm sure the girls are crushed, but it was a great run, great season, great kids and good story for us all to tell," Bunnell said.
It was an especially bittersweet moment for Talley, who battled back from two knee injuries to get the chance to play alongside her teammates.
"The team's amazing," she said. "I'm so thankful and blessed to be here with these girls and to get to play with them finally."
Despite the heartbreak of yet another second-place finish, Talley said the team succeeded in its goal of making it back to Puyallup to compete for the title.
"We came together as a team, and our goal was to get here and we did," she said.
Issaquah will have nine seniors graduate from the 2013 team, a group Bunnell described as relentless.
"We had a weird little run there at the end, where we dropped some games, but they just bounced back and showed a lot of heart," he said.

If you feel that a rangefinder fits your style more, then thats the reason to switch. If not sick with your setup and make great images with it.
No matter what camera and lens you have, a good image is good, a great image is great, and a crappy image is crappy.
I shoot mostly medium format because I like the tonality of it. Also the same reason I shoot large format some. It's not for the lens.

Go back to the Grand Exchange and sell your mithril scimitar. Now buy a adamant scimitar and as much of adamant armour you can buy. Go to Varrock or Falador and kill the guards till 40 Attack/Defence/Strength. I suggest to take a bag of food with you.
40-60 Attack/Defence/Strength
This is a hard part as you need a set of rune. To make money I wouldn't suggest to mine rune essence, as they are crashing at the date this is made they're crashing. I'd suggest to keep using adamant and some food and kill Hill Giants. Pick the bones and sell them at the Grand Exchange till 200.000 Gp/250.000 Gp. Now buy a set of rune and continue killing hill giants and selling the bones till 60 Attack/Defence/Strength.
60 – 99 Attack/Defence/Strength
This is a long part and you'll need to have alot of food. You can go afk while doing this, but not too much if you have low Defence and or no Defence. Buy alot of food and maybe some potions. I'd suggest to ALWAYS take a potion and be potted while training. Go to the stronghold of security where you get Fighter/Fancy boots. Go to the third floor and kill the spiders. Suggestion: At 70 Defence you can go afk for like 5/7 minutes. If you're a pure I wouldn't suggest going afk.
Hope this helps guys, It's hard to get a 99 combat stat in F2P….

Ordered by Congress to curb its funding for political science research, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has decided to hew as closely as possible to business as usual.
In March, Senator Tom Coburn (R-OK) won passage of an amendment to a government-wide spending bill for 2013 that ordered NSF to fund only those research projects in political science that promote national security or economic development. Many scientists feared that NSF, in response, would decide to scrap its entire $10 million political science portfolio because of the difficulty of separating out proposals that fit Coburn's narrow language.
Instead, today NSF announced that it would simply add Coburn's two criteria to the two long-standing metrics, intellectual merit and broader impacts, that NSF has used to judge the quality of any grant. Reviewers would start with the traditional criteria and "provide input on whether proposals meet one or both of the additional criteria" allowed as exceptions under the spending bill.
As in the past, the announcement explains, those comments will be used by program officers to decide which research proposals to fund. The current round of proposals up for review were submitted on 15 January, 2 months before the Coburn language was adopted, so none of the proposals specifically take into account the questions that it raises.
NSF may create additional review panels to address the new criteria, explains Myron Gutmann, head of the social, behavioral, and economic sciences directorate that includes political science. "It might be sequential," Gutmann says. "One panel may consider the traditional criteria, while another addresses the Coburn criteria. Our goal is to do merit review as well as possible. We want to take the time to do it right."
The new policy reflects the fact that "we take the congressional language very seriously," Gutmann adds. "We've thought long and hard about the new language, and we want to make sure that reviewers do the same."
Greg Koger, a political scientist at the University of Miami in Florida, has followed the debate and welcomes NSF's decision to push ahead with its normal review process. "While it is outrageous and disturbing that political science has been singled out for extra scrutiny and scorn," he writes in an e-mail to ScienceInsider, "the language of the amendment seems to allow a broad interpretation of national security and economic interests, as long as [NSF] is willing to explain and certify the merits of projects along these lines."
In addition to training reviewers to apply the new criteria, NSF is making one other concession to the Coburn language. "[D]ue to the provisions stipulated by [the spending bill]," the announcement states, "funding decisions for Political Science proposals may be delayed." Those decisions would normally be made this month, Gutmann says, with the money awarded before the 2013 fiscal year ends on 30 September. But he says that NSF has the flexibility to push the award announcements into FY 2014 if necessary.
The next round of political science research proposals is due on 15 August, and Gutmann says that NSF hopes to let researchers know about any changes to the review criteria before that deadline. The Coburn language applies only to 2013 spending, but Congress could extend it into 2014 as part of a temporary spending bill that preserves current guidelines for federal agencies.

Wood flooring from fabulous-flooring.co.uk
Welcome to fabulous-flooring.co.uk. We stock an extensive range of solid wood flooring, engineered oak flooring and laminate flooring. So whatever your requirements are, we are sure to have the right product for you. Through our years of fitting experience we have built up a technical knowledge second to none and are always on hand to answer your technical queries.
We're dedicated to offering the best customer service possible. Please call us on our freephone number if you have any queries about our products or services.
Laminate Flooring
Available in a myriad of styles and species. Laminate flooring combines great designs with a practical and durable finish. Laminate floors are basically an image bonded to a wooden core which is coated in a durable plastic top layer. This surface is more resistant to damage than a real wood floor but the floor will lack the character and feel of real wood. Always easy to fit even with basic DIY skills and lower costs make them the first choice for many. Modern laminates are available in a variety of styles and thicknesses to suit all budgets.
Solid Wood
Traditionally the benchmark for quality in wooden flooring, available in styles from traditional country to more contemporary finishes with guaranteed character that will develop a natural patina over time. Solid oak is still a great choice for use in suitable environments and will last for a lifetime if installed and care for correctly. Solid wood floors can be nailed to suitable wooden sub floors or glued to sound concrete slabs. Solid wood flooring installations are more prone to problems than engineered wood.
Engineered Wood
Engineered wood flooring is a very versatile product and is much more resistant to fluctuations in humidity than solid wood. Engineered boards are manufactured by bonding a hardwood wear layer to a ply core (either soft or hardwood). The wear layer will look and feel identical to a solid wood board. Most engineered floors can be floated over under floor heating. 14 or 15mm boards are suitable for floated or glued down installations over a suitable sub floor. Thicker 18 and 20mm boards can also be nailed to a sound timber sub-floor

Pink Brick
The Pink Brick is a symbol of the first brick hurled at the Stonewall Riots in 1969. This faux award is an opportunity to highlight an individual or organization that has done significant harm to the LGBT community. It is also an opportunity to educate the community and the Pink Brick recipient about relevant issues.
The public vote for the recipient of the 2015 Pink Brick Award has ended. The winner of the 2015 Pink Brick award is the American Family Association.
The 2015 Pink Brick Recipient
Dishonoree: American Family Association
The 2015 awardee of the Pink Brick Award is the American Family Association. Since 1977, the mission of the AFA is to "inform, equip, and activate individuals to strengthen the moral foundations of American culture," and has dedicated itself to "combating the homosexual agenda." The AFA spreads misinformation about the LGBTQ community through a number of outlets, including the American Family Radio Network, an online news site, "One News Now" and their monthly AFA journal.
More information coming soon.
About the Pink Brick
The Pink Brick, a symbol of the first brick hurled at the Stonewall Rebellion in 1969, is an annual 'award' given each year to a person or institution whose actions are deemed to have caused significant harm to the LGBT community.
2010 Annual Pink Brick Award is given to Senator Roy Ashburn
Anti-Gay California Senator Is Award's First Gay Recipient
Senator Ashburn has served in the California state legislature since 1996 and has an extensive voting history of vigorously opposing LGBT rights, including his overwhelming support of the state's Proposition 8 which denied equal rights to LGBT citizens. Early in March 2010, Senator Ashburn was arrested for drunk driving shortly after he left a Sacramento gay bar with another man in his state-issued car. Ashburn's arrest has sparked major controversy. Since his arrest he has admitted he is gay, and claims his voting record reflects his constituent's views. Ashburn says he plans to continue voting on behalf of what he sees as the majority viewpoint in his district, even if that means voting against LGBT civil rights.
Past Pink Brick (Dis-)Honorees
The following were the Pink Brick recipients for in years past:
|Scott Lively
|Boy Scouts of America
|Peter La Barbera
|Lou Engle
|California Senator Roy Ashburn
|Carrie Prejean
Runner-up: Archbishop George Niederauer
|Bill O'Reilly
|George W. Bush

Local residents leave Scardale Middle School after voting on the school budgets on June 18, 2013. (Carucha L. Meuse / The Journal News)
A month after the school budget eked out support from just 47 percent of voters, a revised $143.9 million spending plan won a resounding victory Tuesday with 84.4 percent of village voters approving the budget.
The turnout was 2,919 in a village with 10,000 registered voters, with 2,465 yeas and 454 nays. Last time, the tally was 1,502 yeas to 1,720 nays.
"This has been a very long spring. I'm personally very gratified and relieved to know we're moving forward," schools Superintendent Dr. Michael McGill said moments after votes were counted. ...

|Event-related potentials (P300) and EEG activity in childhood partial epilepsy.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9105657 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|To clarify the relationship between the cognitive function and EEG activity, auditory event-related potentials (P300) were examined in 72 patients with partial epilepsy. Twenty-six patients (67 trials) had idiopathic partial epilepsies (IPE), and 46 (118 trials) symptomatic or cryptogenic partial epilepsies (SPE). For this study, patients undergoing carbamazepine monotherapy with a dose of less than 16 mg/kg/day were selected to rule out the effects of anti-epileptic drugs. The results were as follows: (1) The P300 latency tended to be prolonged in association with the EEG slowing in both epileptic groups. (2) There was no clear relationship between the frequency of paroxysmal discharges and the P300 latency. (3) The P300 latency was slightly prolonged in the patients with temporal foci compared with that in ones with extra-temporal foci. (4) There was no significant relationship between the generalization of focal paroxysmal discharges and the P300 latency. These results suggested that the influence of EEG abnormalities (particularly paroxysmal discharges) on the P300 latency is relatively little, and the cognitive dysfunction in partial epilepsies mainly originates from other factors such as the epileptogenic lesion itself.

|I must've written half a dozen replies to this and erased them all.
There's maybe more to the story than the few short paragraphs in the newspaper. It would be interesting to know if the school actually spent some time "educating" the pupil on why the flag was being displayed. A good chance to explain it's origins and what it meant in a historical context and not just modern extremists has been lost.
In my opinion by provoking debate and possibly outrage the display did it's job. Removing it is surely an admission of the flag symbolising modern racial hatred and not it's historical context.

Chamber, city advances on downtown upgrade
The Eudora Chamber of Commerce is working with the city in an effort to give downtown businesses a facelift that could breathe new life into the local economy.
The Eudora City Council will hear from Marylyn Graham of the Kansas Department of Commerce and Housing at 7:30 p.m., Monday, at Eudora City Hall. A Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program manager, Graham will speak to the council about options the city can pursue to fund a downtown renewal project.
"She's going to make a presentation to the city council on the different programs that are available," Keith Turnbaugh, Eudora chamber president, said. "We met with the mayor, and he likes the idea. This is just to bring it up to the council, see if they have interest and then take the ball and run with it."
Through the CDBG program, the state receives up to $4 million in funds and typically grants $1 million to $1.5 million for projects. With several programs available through the CDBG, the Eudora Chamber and the council will focus on one to improve the downtown look. An approved CDBG would fund upgrades to building facades, streets and other business areas.
Mayor Ron Conner said he hoped the meeting helps advance the CDBG application process.
"Hopefully, in the long run here, we'll be doing those types of things as far as sprucing up downtown," Conner said. "I don't think it has to be that far down the road. It won't be here in the next six months but I don't think it'll be years and years."
Christina DeArmond, Quilting Bits and Pieces co-owner, said she's in favor of programs that would help give the downtown area and its businesses an improved look. The fabrics store has been on Main Street for almost four years. DeArmond said most of her customers are from outside Eudora, and she feels that aesthetically-pleasing storefronts would entice customers to bring others downtown.
"I think we need the revitalization downtown to bring in more businesses," DeArmond said. "I think a lot of businesses need work done on them so it's more appealing to the eye when you come downtown."
In addition to sprucing up local business exteriors, Turnbaugh said the Eudora Chamber is looking at ways to help keep local businesses' internal machines running smoothly. Turnbaugh said the Eudora Chamber is interested in holding workshops to help local business owners.
"What we'd like to do is help businesses learn to market themselves," he said.
Turnbaugh said some workshops haven't had great turnouts, citing one last year that focused on how to make businesses successful. Turnbaugh stressed a need for greater turnouts for future workshops' success.
"I was surprised by how few people actually showed up," he said. "I guess we can do something like that again, but we've got to have a response."

RE: problems when remote management of all win xp pro sp2 workstations
- From: feniks <feniks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Thu, 5 Apr 2007 11:56:04 -0700
wanted to clarify my previous post which was a bit to chaotic I think.
First of all we have mixed windows environment including:
a) 2 windows 2003 sp2 x86 servers (all patches applied except for April 3rd
b) 2 windows 2000 sp4 x86 servers (all patches applied except for April 3rd
c) 19 windows xp sp2 (both x86 and x64) workstations with all patches
applied including the April 3rd release
d) 11 windows 2000 sp4 workstations with all patches applied including the
April 3rd release
e) 1 windows me workstation
All our servers are domain controllers and also DNS servers. Our PDC also is
a File server & Print server.
Until April 3rd all components of MMC (or Computer Management COnsole) were
working fine for local and remote connections. There were no recent changes
in firewall policy or other GPO changes.
NEW: in my previous post I made a mistake saying that windows 2000
workstations were not affected by remote MMC component problem. In fact they
ARE as well as all Windows XP family workstations.
Currently the only workstation (Windows XP Pro SP2 x86) that I could connect
to using remote MMC components is the one that applied the most recent
critical security patch from April 3rd, but was not rebooted yet. ALL others
were unfortunately rebooted since applying KB925902 and therefore they refuse
remote connections for following MMC components:
a) event viewer
b) device manager
c) performance logs and alerts
d) rest, e.g. Disk Management, Shared Folders, Services still work fine with
no errors.
Moreover uninstalling the patch KB925902 from workstation DOES NOT solve the
problem. Please advise.

network remote management via computer management, it reveals problems when

Computer Management - Connect to another computer: (select any Windows XP
SP2 x86 or x64 based machine that has KB925902 applied):
- Event Viewer - "Unable to connect to the computer ComputerName. the error
was: The network path was not found." after KB925902 was installed on remote
Computer. Event viewer on remote computer still cannot connect even if both
local and remote firewalls are turned off.
- Device Manager - "Unable to access the computer ComputerName The error
was: Access is denied."
- Performance Logs and Alerts - "The version of the operating system on the
computer named COmputerName is later than that on the local computer. This
operation is not available from the local computer."
- at the same time other remote management features, e.g. Disk Management,
Shared Folders, Services etc. still work fine.
That will not happen if you connect to any Windows 2000 SP4 based machine
with applied KB925902. What is the problem? why so many features of remote
management fails after installing the latest critical update to Windows XP
OS family?
