Pics Since the last update I can't change picture quality anymore. That makes me think, you did it on purpose to force people buy premium... Looking for another app, as I need to make a lot of pics.
Makes life easier The features of the PC Web clipper are missing: Clipping simplified article, just article or the complete article? I can't do this on my mobile.
Awesome Use this all the time and love it. Update: I really like the new update, but there seems to be a lag issue when editing sometimes. Also, PLEASE return the undo/redo buttons to where they were! It's so awkward to select them now...
Dont want it on here Shud be able to UNINSTALL WOT WE DONT USE OR WANT OUR GIZMO WE HAVE PAID FOR DAMB IT..
There are FREE alternatives To charge £3.99 a month, is shocking to say the least for its so called 'premium' Nope. Onenote, Google Keep etc are fine free altenatives.
It sucks Because Evernote doesn't make it easy to contact them with a update bug, yet they want you to embrace their product, they get one star. You need a dedicated support email addy for your users and a few technical support staff members to address the bug reports.

Thomson Dream Cruise Review by marble arch: Awful awful awful no dream to be had here
Overall Member Rating
Awful awful awful no dream to be had here
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Palma de Mallorca
Sailed out of palma registered my credit card to my cruise card (cashless system) unhelpful reception staff said it was not valid called the bank which was difficult due to lack of signal spent 52 hrs with no way of paying for anything at sea only to find out it was receptions fault they hadn't ticked a box so i spent the first two days of my cruise ringing my bank and dealing with very very unhelpful reception staff. in the end the purser sorted it out but wait for it no apology
beware of the drains on deck 9 we had 3 occasions of our toilet being blocked even though the toilet hadn't been used for over 18 hrs and we had sewerage backing up through our bath plug hole which prevented us from showering. Public toilets especially near the Broadway lounge were always blocked and swimming in urine and sewerage, the ship stank of sewerage especially deck 3/4
Trips are expensive and not good we went on 9 and there was only one I would recommend ie Corsica the rest were led More by pigeon English tour guides one of which was in her 80s we visited two churches that day as the Milan trip was cancelled that cost us £38:00 each. Olbia ..... dont get off the ship its not worth it
entertainment was butlins but louder and I mean really loud
Make sure you take black tie and suit if you want to get into captains dinner or in the orion restaurant on that night or you will be refused admission, and finally the captain has tanning tickets that get issued so you cant hog the sun loungers, the captain in fact has lots of little rules and regulations he likes to enforce.
I think due to the fact we were the first med cruise after the staffs last trip in the Caribbean didn't help matters as it was clear the staff throughout were exhausted
We wont cruise with this company again Less

I am going touring in SW Ireland on March 22nd with my father. Last minute planning! I have already invested in Ortlieb panniers and considering what to do now. I have a Canondale Cyclocross Disc 2. I was wondering would it be a good idea to use this bike for the touring trip? In fact if I do invest in this bike it will be used long term for commuting and future tours too. The alternative is to use an 'old' Raleigh sports bike (10 speed). This has some connections for fitting a rack and may be easier to fit a rack to versus the Canondale. I would prefer to invest in the Canondale however.
Does anybody have any opinions on this? For instance, is this bike suitable for touring (e.g. frame strength)? Are there any racks which people could recommend? Would the bike be damaged through carrying extra weight? If anybody has any insight to assist my decision making, I would be most grateful.

I never criticize anyone's choice of baby names to their face, but boy, have I heard some doozies. I just got told by an aquaitance of mine that if she's having a boy she's naming him Harper, and if she's having a girl she's naming her Grayson.
Yeah, aren't those supposed to be the other way around? Well, whatever. It's not my kid so I don't really care what they name it, it just kind of threw me.
I've also met a woman named Brandon, a woman named Babylove, a boy named Rector, a girl named Grassy, and identical twin boys named Michael and Micah (not weird, just really similar, I thought). And a friend of mine who works at a Babies R Us was chewed out recently by an expectant mother for mispronouncing the impending arrival's name: La-Ah, pronounced La dash ah.
Oh, and one time I had to listen to a grandmother complain about her new granddaughter's name spelling. The name was Rheaghayn.
Anyone else heard or seen some crazy names or name spellings?

The episode, entitled Oathbreaker, had it's share of deaths and gore, but seemingly shed light on three of our characters whom can be considered oathbreakers of sorts. (more...)

To close out its current season, Orange County's Tony-winning regional theater South Coast Repertory has chosen to mount an opulent, high-caliber revival of Peter Shaffer's 1979 play AMADEUS, which continues performances in Costa Mesa through June 5, 2016. The recipient of the 1981 Tony Award for Best Play, AMADEUS most notably became the basis for Milos Forman's Academy Award-winning (and, yes, arguably, much more readily known) 1984 film of the same name. For SCR's season-ender---engagingly directed by Kent Nicholson---the rather lengthy play is presented with much of the visual grandness one expects from an antiquated period piece, particularly from this particular theater company. And as an added bonus, the play is performed by a cast of incredible, seasoned actors that winningly transports its audience to a time and place centuries ago. So is it worth revisiting the tug-of-war between Salieri and Mozart? If it is South Coast Rep's visually-stunning production, then the answer is an enthusiastic 'yes.' (more...)

World War II: A Jew in the SS
A German journalist presents the extraordinary and disturbing story of a Nazi SS Officer who lied, deceived and conned, yet also saved the lives of up to a thousand Latvian Jews. A new Oscar Schindler? Sort of. The story has an added twist: the man was Jewish.
Anita Kugler's new book charts the only known story of a Nazi SS Officer who was also Jewish
Ernest Hemmingway once boasted that he could hook a reader on a story in six words. A German author now does it in three: Jewish SS Officer.
The book came out in late September and its timing couldn't have been better. Germany is currently awash in World War II soul searching. The "Untergang" (Downfall) a darkly morbid film that chronicles Hitler's last days has sold 4.2 million tickets since its opening and may be Germany's best chance for an Oscar. The film is the first attempt by a German company to show Hitler as a human being with an emotional side. A television film about Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's icy propaganda minister, drew close to 4 million viewers on Oct. 4. Tuesday, a four-part TV documentary that questions the morality of Hitler's managers begins with a documentary on Hitler's beloved architect Albert Speer.
Germany will always live in the shadow of its past, it seems, yet these days there is a new lightness, a greater ability to portray World War II as drama and as riddled with human nuance. Sherwitz's story offers the perfect medium for such scrutiny.
As head of the Riga concentration camp known as Lent, Scherwitz lived high and acted as a Nazi elite. Yet he also used his SS status to save hundreds, perhaps up to a thousand, Jewish lives.
An Oscar Schindler in an SS suit or a Jewish traitor?
In 1948 he was indicted as a war criminal for killing three Jews who tried to flee the camp and sentenced to six years in prison. During his trial, he pleaded that he was Jewish and had joined the Nazi party to save himself and to help his fellow Jews. The alternative, he said, would have been death. Is he a hero or a criminal? Like Oscar Schindler, the German entrepreneur made famous by Steven Spielberg in the film "Schindler's List," he was a case of both -- a man caught up in events too big for him to navigate cleanly and who instead chose to operate in grey zones of non-commitment.
"He was an immoral moralist," Kugler said. "Mainly he wanted to save himself. But like Schindler, he is a rare example of a man who built an island of humanity in the middle of a murderous regime."
Like Schindler, Scherwitz was a womanizer and a supremely egotistical bon vivant with a soft spot for underdogs. He kept his Latvian workers alive by making them pivotal to the SS -- that is he had them create luxury items like furs, leather goods and silk negligees and stockings for SS wives and lovers.
Scherwitz's situation was even dicier than Schindler's, Kugler argues, because while Schindler was a businessman with a company from which he personally profited, Scherwitz headed a Nazi camp run by the SS. His every move was watched and he was constantly shadowed by SS officers, many of whom he had to bribe so they wouldn't reveal that his workers were well fed and humanely treated.
"The only thing his workers didn't have was freedom" said Kugler, who spent years interviewing witnesses and tracing lost documents. Among camp residents and survivors, Scherwitz was known as the "King of the Jews."
After the war, Scherwitz' s ambiguous behavior continued. When American occupiers arrived, he announced himself as a Jew. But he just as quickly lied about his life during the war, saying he had been a concentration camp victim -- not an elite SS overseer. The Americans embraced him and he began a new life helping Nazi victims. He did so until 1948, when his past became known and he was arrested for war crimes.
Kugler's book, "Sherwitz, the Jewish SS Officer" came out in late September and has yet to make the literary or intellectual splash she had hoped it would. It has also not yet found an English publisher. That may be because of the book's 700-page heft and Kugler's scholarly style and drive to record every detail about the period. It may also be because she leaves the reader with more questions than answers. At one point, she even questions whether Scherwitz was Jewish at all -- suggesting he made up his Jewishness in order to save himself from the Americans.
"One of the most fascinating and disturbing parts of the story is that he was indicted on the grounds that he was a Jew who acted particularly immorally because he persecuted fellow Jews," Kugler said. "Does that mean it is not as bad if a Catholic persecutes a Jew?"
The question invites a second book.

Rainstorm by bluestone78Watch

I was very surprised that this came out the way it did. It was taken during a 2 AM rain and hail storm back in August, and I was fooling around taking pictures. I must have caught it right during a lightning flash, because it's very bright for 2 AM. It was taken out the back door of my apartment complex, and I was holding the door with my elbow, which accounts for the crazy angle.

Employed scientists and engineers engage in many different professional development
activities. These include attending meetings, participating in professional
societies or associations, and attending work-related workshops or seminars.
Approximately half of all employed scientists and engineers, as defined by
education or occupation, in 1999 attended professional meetings in the previous
year. (See text table 6-4
.) Men differed little from women, and scientists
and engineers with disabilities differed little from those without disabilities,
in attendance at professional meetings. The various racial/ethnic groups
did differ somewhat, however. For example, Asians were less likely than members
of other racial/ethnic groups to attend professional meetings, although this
difference is likely field related; Hispanic engineers were more likely than
white engineers to attend professional meetings; and black physical scientists
were less likely than most others in their profession to attend professional
Slightly more than half of employed scientists and engineers in 1999 reported
belonging to a national or international professional society or association.
(See text table 6-5 .) Among
life and physical scientists, women were less likely than men to be members
of a professional society or association.
Among computer/math
scientists and life and related scientists, blacks were more likely than
members of most other racial/ethnic groups to belong to professional societies;
among social and related scientists, both blacks and whites were more likely
than members of most other racial/ethnic groups to belong to professional
societies. There were few differences by disability status in professional
society membership.
Sixty-seven percent of those employed in S&E occupations in 1999 attended
work-related training in the previous year. (See figure 6-3
Of those attending such training, 87 percent pursued
training in their occupational field; 26
percent pursued management training; and 22 percent pursued general
professional training, such as public speaking or business writing. (See
appendix table 6-11.) Among those
attending training, men were more likely than women to attend management
training. There were relatively few differences
by race/ethnicity
or disability status in this type of training. Regardless of sex, race/ethnicity,
or disability status, the top two primary reasons cited by employed scientists
and engineers, in S&E and non-S&E occupations, for engaging in
work-related training activities were (1) to gain further skills in their
occupational field
or (2) because it is required or expected by their employers. (See text table 6-6 and appendix
table 6-12.)

text: Autism Read the easy-read version. Autistic people see, hear and feel the world in a different way from other people. If you are autistic, you are autistic for life – autism is not an 'illness' and cannot be 'cured'. Often people feel being autistic as a fundamental aspect of their identity. You might hear people say that autism is a spectrum condition. This means that, while all autistic people share certain difficulties, being autistic will affect them in different ways. Some autistic people also have learning disabilities and other conditions. As a result, people need different levels of support. Autistic people may also experience over- or under-sensitivity to sounds, touch, tastes, smells, light or colours. Asperger syndrome is a form of autism. People with Asperger syndrome are of average or above average intelligence. They have fewer problems with speech but may still have difficulties with understanding and processing language. How do autistic people see the world? Autistic people say the world often feels overwhelming and this can cause them considerable anxiety. In particular, understanding and relating to other people, and taking part in everyday family and social life can be harder if you're autistic. Other people appear to know, intuitively, how to communicate and interact with each other, yet can also struggle to build rapport with autistic people. Often autistic people may wonder why they are 'different' and often feel their social differences mean people don't understand them. Autistic people often do not 'look' disabled. Parents of autistic children often say that other people simply think their child is naughty, while adults find that they are misunderstood. We are educating the public about autism through our Too Much Information campaign. All autistic people can benefit from a timely diagnosis and access to appropriate services and support. How autism is diagnosed The characteristics of autism vary from one person to another but in order for diagnosis to be made, a person will be seen to be experiencing difficulties in three main areas. These are: difficulty with social communication difficulty with social interaction restricted and repetitive behaviours and interests. There is information about all three areas below. Difficulty with social communication For people with autistic spectrum disorders, 'body language' can appear just as foreign as if people were speaking ancient Greek. Autistic people have difficulties with interpreting both verbal and non-verbal language like gestures or tone of voice. Many have a very literal understanding of language, and think people always mean exactly what they say. They may find it difficult to use or understand: facial expressions or tone of voice jokes and sarcasm Some autistic people may not speak, or have fairly limited speech. Autistic people will usually understand more of what other people say to them, than they are able to express, yet may struggle with vagueness or abstract concepts. Some autistic people prefer to use alternative means of communication, such as sign language or visual symbols. Some autistic people are able to communicate very effectively without speech. Others will have good language skills, but they may still find it hard to understand the expectations of others within conversations, perhaps repeating what the other person has just said (this is called echolalia) or talking at length about their own interests. It helps if other people speak in a clear, consistent way and give people on the autism spectrum time to process what has been said to them. Difficulty with social interaction Autistic people often have difficulty recognising or understanding other people's emotions and feelings, or expressing their own. Such difficulties can make it very hard for autistic people to navigate the social world. They may: appear to be insensitive because they have not recognised how someone else is feeling may seek out time alone when overloaded by other people not seek comfort from other people appear to behave 'strangely' or in a way thought to be socially 'inappropriate', as it is not always easy for them to express feelings, emotions or needs. Difficulties with social interaction can mean that autistic people may find it hard to form friendships: some may want to interact with other people and make friends, but may be unsure how to go about this. Restricted and repetitive behaviours and interests The world can seem a very unpredictable and confusing place to autistic people, who often prefer to have a daily routine so that they know what is going to happen every day. This routine can extend to always wanting to travel the same way to and from school or work, or eat exactly the same food for breakfast. One young autistic person attended a day service. He would be dropped off by taxi, walk up to the door of the day service, knock on it and be let in. One day, the door opened before he could knock and a person came out. Rather than go in through the open door, he returned to the taxi and began the routine again. The use of rules can also be important: it may be difficult for an autistic person to take a different approach to something once they have been taught the 'right' way to do it. People on the autism spectrum may not be comfortable with the idea of change, but may be able to cope better if they are prepared for it in advance. Many autistic people have intense and highly-focused interests, often from a fairly young age. These can change over time or be lifelong, and can be anything from art or music, to trains or computers. Some autistic people may eventually be able to work or study in related areas. For others, it will remain a hobby. An interest may sometimes be unusual. One autistic person loved collecting rubbish, for example; with encouragement, this was channeled into an interest in recycling and the environment. Autistic people often report that the pursuit of such interests is fundamental to their wellbeing and happiness. Other characteristics of autism Autism is different for everyone but as well as the three main areas of difficulty, autistic people may have: sensory sensitivity learning disabilities. Sensory sensitivity Rowan loves art but he hates wearing a shirt to protect his clothing - the feeling of the fabric against his skin causes him distress. We have agreed with his school that he can wear a loose-fitting apron instead. Autistic people may experience some form of sensory sensitivity. This can occur in one or more of the five senses - sight, sound, smell, touch and taste. A person's senses are either intensified (hypersensitive) or under-sensitive (hypo-sensitive). For example, an autistic person may find certain background sounds, which other people ignore or block out, unbearably loud or distracting. This can cause anxiety or even physical pain. People who are hypo-sensitive may not feel pain or extremes of temperature. Some may rock, spin or flap their hands to stimulate sensation, to help with balance and posture or to deal with stress. People with sensory sensitivity may also find it harder to use their body awareness system. This system tells us where our bodies are, so for those with reduced body awareness, it can be harder to navigate rooms avoiding obstructions, stand at an appropriate distance from other people and carry out 'fine motor' tasks such as tying shoelaces. Learning disabilities I have a helper who sits with me and if I'm stuck on a word she helps me. It makes a big difference. Autistic people may have learning disabilities, which can affect all aspects of someone's life, from studying in school, to learning how to wash themselves or make a meal. People can have different 'degrees' of learning disability, so some will be able to live fairly independently - although they may need a degree of support to achieve this - while others may require lifelong, specialist support. However, all people with autism learn and develop. With the right sort of support, all autistic people can be helped to live a more fulfilling life of their own choosing. Other conditions are sometimes associated with autism. These may include attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), or learning difficulties such as dyslexia and dyspraxia. Who is affected by autism? Autism is much more common than most people think. There are around 700,000 people in the UK living with autism – that's more than 1 in 100. People from all nationalities and cultural, religious and social backgrounds can be autistic, although it appears to affect more men than women. It is a lifelong condition: children with autism grow up to become autistic adults. Causes and cures What causes autism? The exact cause of autism is still being investigated. However, research suggests that a combination of factors – genetic and environmental – may account for differences in development. Autism is not caused by a person's upbringing, their social circumstances and is not the fault of the individual with the condition. Is there a cure? At present, there is no 'cure' for autism. However, there is a range of interventions – methods of enabling learning and development – which people may find to be helpful. Find out about these strategies and approaches. Diagnosis A diagnosis is the formal identification of autism, usually by a health professional such as a paediatrician or a psychiatrist. Having a diagnosis is helpful for two reasons: it helps autistic people (and their families) to understand why they may experience certain difficulties and what they can do about them it allows people to access services and support. People's GPs can refer them to a specialist who is able to make a diagnosis. Many people are diagnosed as children; their parents and carers can ask GPs for a referral. Find out more about diagnosis and how to get one. Different names for autism Some professionals may refer to autism by a different name, such as autism or autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), classic autism or Kanner autism, pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) or high-functioning autism (HFA).
