Fox Goes Cherry-Picking In Attempt To Keep Its Phony "War On Religion" Claim Alive
Blog ››› ››› CHELSEA RUDMAN
On January 20, the Obama administration reaffirmed that under the Affordable Care Act, most employers must provide health care plans that cover contraceptives for women free of charge. Religious employers such as churches, synagogues, and mosques are exempt, but hospitals and schools run by religious organizations that employ people of many faiths are not. Catholic clergy have been protesting the decision, asserting that contraception is counter to the teachings of the Catholic faith.
Right-wing media, with Fox News leading the charge, have seized on the ruling as evidence of a supposed "war on religion" that they have long claimed Obama is waging. Desperate to keep this narrative alive, Fox News this morning hyped a Rasmussen Reports poll that purported to show that the "majority" of Americans oppose the contraception rule. But Fox failed to note (though one Fox contributor tried) that two other polls in recent days have found that a majority of Americans do support the rule -- as do a majority of Catholics.
Rasmussen has a history of asking loaded questions to produce Republican-friendly findings; not only did this poll fit that pattern, but it actually asked a question that misleads about the contraception rule.
Fox & Friends began hyping the Rasmussen poll at the top of their show, during a segment in which they attacked the president and his administration for the decision. Co-host Steve Doocy reported the results of the poll, saying:
DOOCY: Rasmussen did a poll, called up 1,000 people, and here's the -- here's some of the results: 50 percent oppose, 39 percent favor it, 10 percent undecided. Interestingly enough, when you get into the small print about it, a plurality of Republican and independent voters as well are against it, and for the White House, that is a problem.
The co-hosts hyped the poll results again in a later segment with Fox News contributor Michelle Malkin. Co-host Brian Kilmeade again cited Rasmussen's findings and said, "In this political season, how does it make political sense for the president to do this?" Malkin replied, "It really doesn't."
Neither of these segments acknowledged, however, that two other recent national polls determined the opposite.
A poll released by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) on February 7 found that 55 percent of Americans agreed that "employers should be required to provide their employees with health care plans that cover contraception and birth control at no cost." The poll found the same was true for a majority of Catholics: "[r]oughly 6-in-10 Catholics (58%) believe that employers should be required to provide their employees with health care plans that cover contraception." The news release on the poll included this chart:
The poll also found that 52 percent of Catholics agreed that "religiously affiliated colleges and hospitals should have to provide coverage that includes contraception."
Another survey released the same day by Public Policy Polling (PPP) found that a "56 percent majority of voters support the decision to require health plans to cover prescription birth control with no additional out-of-pocket fees." The poll found that this was true for a "53 percent majority of Catholic voters" as well. Contrary to Doocy's assertion that "independent voters are against [the decision]," this sentiment was even stronger among Catholics who identify as independents -- 62 percent of them favored the benefit.
The PPP poll also found that a "strong majority (57 percent) of voters think that women employed by Catholic hospitals and universities should have the same rights to contraceptive coverage as other women." Again, the poll found that "a 53 percent majority of Catholics agree with this sentiment, including 60 percent of independents."
Perhaps the reason the polls had different findings from Rasmussen's was because of the wording of the polls. Here's how PRRI worded its survey questions:
Now, as I read some statements, please tell me if you completely agree, mostly agree, mostly DISagree or completely disagree with each one.
All employers should be required to provide their employees with health care plans that cover contraception or birth control at no cost.
There is currently a debate over what kinds of health care plans some religious organizations should be required to provide. Do you think [religiously affiliated colleges and hospitals] should be required to provide their employees with health care plans that cover contraception or birth control at no cost, or not?
And here are Rasmussen's:
1* Should health insurance companies be required by law to cover all government-approved contraceptives for women, without co-payments or other charges to the patient?
2* If health insurance companies are required to cover all government-approved contraceptives for women, without any charges to the patient, will that increase the cost of health insurance, decrease the cost of health insurance, or have no impact on the cost of health insurance?
3* The requirement to provide contraceptives for women violates deeply held beliefs of some churches and religious organizations. If providing such coverage violates the beliefs of a church or religious organization, should the government still require them to provide coverage for contraceptives?
Note the use of the term "government-approved contraceptives" and the placement of a question regarding the plan's costs. And the final question is actually asking about something that is not happening (emphasis added): "If providing such coverage violates the beliefs of a church or religious organization, should the government still require them to provide coverage for contraceptives?" As noted above, churches and other houses of worship are exempt from the contraception rule. They won't be required to provide such coverage.
Did Fox mention the PRRI or PPP polls at all? Well, one contributor, Juan Williams, attempted to do so. During a segment with Doocy and fellow contributor Andrea Tantaros, Williams said, "Most Catholics agree with what the Obama administration is doing ... In fact, they have even a religious poll right now this morning that indicates 52 percent of Catholics support it." Doocy interrupted Williams and repeated the Rasmussen findings, and both he and Tantaros tried to dismiss Williams.
Had Doocy allowed Williams to elaborate, he would have been forced to deal with facts that Fox is desperate to avoid. Here's what Williams said earlier on Fox Business' Imus in the Morning:
WILLIAMS: Let's talk about this Catholic church controversy.
DON IMUS (host): Oh, good. That's what I was going to bring up.
WILLIAMS: Because I think it's a total fraud.
IMUS: You do? Tell me why.
WILLIAMS: Well, I just think it's manufactured. I think it's one of these things where it fits with a conservative agenda that they're looking for something, especially with all the good news that's been coming for Obama. And I think they found this, and what they picked up to be a culture war wedge issue on contraception and the church and all this. And it just isn't working, because if you look at the polls -- and I don't care whose poll you look at. You can even look at religious organization's polls, a clear majority of Americans -- almost three-quarters of Americans -- but even a clear majority of voting Catholics, more than 50 percent, say that these charities and hospitals and clinics should provide coverage for contraception.
Yet Doocy and Tantaros tried to talk over Williams when he brought up polls that showed the majority of Americans disagree with Fox News' claims that the ruling is a "war on religion." Watch:

Superhero walk
Become the hero-or heroine-of your own story. Just watch out for the kryptonite.
Thu Jun 25 2009
Midtown Comics
Photographs by Jolie Rubin
Start: Valhalla, 815 Ninth Ave
End: Phone booth, 17th St at Fifth Ave
Distance: 4.3 miles
Time: 3 hours
1 Mortals tremble as the sons of Odin quaff superior ales from the spigots at Valhalla (815 Ninth Ave between 53rd and 54th Sts, 212-757-2747). It's the perfect bracer before setting out on our Walk of Heroes. This journey is not recommended for the faint of heart. Worlds and lives may be broken before all is done. Stay the course. All is not yet lost.
2 Walk east toward Broadway, and behold the innocent pedestrians, unaware of the paladin strolling boldly through the sunshine. You may envy them their petty concerns, this need to pick up the laundry and score sweet seats to Rock of Ages. They do not understand the weight of responsibility that rests on your shoulders. But the shopkeeps at Midtown Comics (200 W 40th St at Seventh Ave, 212-302-8192) just might. They guard two floors of G.I. Joe action figures, DVDs like the 25th- anniversary edition of Transformers season one ($26.99) and graphic novels, making this one of the best places in the city to read about your fearless colleagues. Be sure to time your visit to Amber Benson's signing on Saturday 27 at 3pm—her book, Death's Daughter, follows a heroine who happens to be Death's spawn.
3 Continue your travels through Hell's Kitchen, the fiery realm of Mephisto and Gordon Ramsay. Stop at the Trapeze School New York (518 W 30th St at Tenth Ave; 212-242-8769, trapezeschool.com) to show off your inborn skills at one of Joshua Dean's aerial conditioning classes on Thursday 25 (6:30pm, $35) or Sunday 28 (4:30pm, $35), utilizing static trapeze and other apparatuses in a circuit-training format. Soar with a grace that would make the Man of Steel totally jealous.
4 As you race toward the Hudson in search of civilians to save, gaze at the grim land of New Jersey, and consider that a true hero made his mark at this very spot: It was here that Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger landed a plane on the water without loss of nongeese life this past January. Pay homage to his act at 23rd Street and the West Side Highway.
5 Spidey uses powers garnered from radioactive web-builders to scale skyscrapers. Hone your own climbing skills at the Field House at Chelsea Piers (Pier 62, 23rd St at the Hudson River; 212-336-6500, $22 per class). Practice on the climbing wall Tuesday through Thursday (7:30--9:30pm) before you graduate to tall buildings.
6 Make your way east against the sun until you come upon a Men's Wearhouse (655 Sixth Ave between 20th and 21st Sts; 212-243-3517, menswearhouse.com). Stock up on the mild-mannered "biz cas" threads you require to fool the populace. Right next door is Scuba Network (655 Sixth Ave between 20th and 21st Sts; 212-243-2988, scubanetwork.com; $299--$399 for scuba-certification course). It's a simple task to become internationally certified via online or in-person classes, followed by a few sessions in the pool and open-water dives with an instructor. Purchase your diving equipment at the store (you need a mask, a snorkel, fins, an instructional kit and a slate) and receive $100 off the certification class price. You'll soon be fit to put Namor and Aquaman to shame.
7 Emerge from your dreams of Atlantis and sushi; it's time to toughen up. Frank Castle (the Punisher) didn't learn how to trash criminal vermin overnight. He had experience—and weapons. Head to the nearby West Side Rifle and Pistol Range (20 W 20th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves; 212-929-7287, westsidepistolrange.com). While you can't shoot handguns without a license, anyone 21or over is free to fire .22-caliber rifles ($65 per person includes 20--30 minutes of instruction and 50 rounds) after passing a background check.
8 Lest we become too beholden to troubled male heroes, consider the deadly Elektra. The on-again, off-again lady-ninja love interest of Daredevil is a martial-arts master. Follow in her footsteps by enrolling in a class with Master Andrew JeaHo Hahn at the International Martial Arts Center (4 W 18th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves; 212-242-5759, imac-nyc.com; monthly memberships begin at $175). Hahn is an eighth-degree black belt in tae kwon do and a sixth-degree black belt in aikido, and his instruction offers a mixture of both. Under his tutelage, you'll never fear another warrior attack.
9 We were saddened to hear, straight from the twisted metal synapses of Brainiac, that there aren't too many phone booths around our metropolis available for quick changes into garishly colored tights. These days, it might make more sense to duck into a local Starbucks. Purists will be gratified to learn, however, that public phone booths can be found near the corner of 17th Street and Fifth Avenue. Please refrain from casting a spell of retribution when the cops haul you in for exposing yourself in public. No hero should take that long to primp.

Made In Chelsea star, Francis Boulle, has revealed that he isn't the biggest fan of the show's newcomer, Lucy Watson.
Fans of the hit E4 reality show will know how Lucy was first introduced to us during the last series when she went on a date with Jamie Laing after meeting him on a boy's night out. When Jamie tried to re-arrange another date with her, she turned down his offer to accompany him to Rosie's dinner party, stating she was too busy, and then turned up on the night with one of Jamie's best friends, Andy Jordan.
She and Andy enjoyed a brief relationship until Lucy, the self-proclaimed 'player' decided he wasn't exciting enough, and set her sights on notorious MIC lothario, Spencer Matthews, despite him going out with Louise Thompson.
Now, with Spencer and Louise seemingly broken up after Francis blew the whistle on Spencer's cheating ways, the path may be set for Lucy to swoop in, but according to diamond dealer, Francis, Spencer may have met his match as Lucy only cares about herself!
Speaking to new! online about Watson, Francis – who fans saw finally hook up with Sophia Sassoon during Monday's Christmas special, explained:
"She's aggressively and openly superficial.
"I don't think she really cares about substance and internal value.
"I think she genuinely only cares about how she looks and how other people look. And I think she'd openly admit that."
However, ever kind Francis went on to explain that he did feel sorry for Lucy, adding:
"I think it's kind of sad." He continued.
"Hopefully one day she'll realise there's more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. To quote Zoolander!"
He then went on to point out that, despite her shallow exterior, Lucy was quite funny:
"She does come out with some cracking lines." He joked.
If you missed Monday night's cracking Made In Chelsea's Christmas conclusion, watch it in full in the window below:

And my striking isn't anything compared to what it used to be (which wasn't much in the first place. ^_^), but I'd put the time in there as well. Working on Boxing and Thai, and maybe even getting a few fights in either of those rulesets in first. I remember many many years ago, I wanted a whole lot of things from my martial arts career, and a Muay Thai Bout, and Amateur Boxing Match, a Judo Black Belt, a BJJ Black Belt and various other stuff I remember was all on my list. So...yeah, will try and work on that when I'm satisfied with my achievements at Black Belt. @_@
And thanks for the video! I have most of it up on my blog already, but nice to see the bits that were cut from the actual show. Will probably head back at some point and have another roll and see if I've got any better. If I do go, will try and film. Secret Cameras. ^_^

What are the items in y and z? Are they also symbols pointing to other values? I have a program that distributes larger lists, but all the items in the list are just Atoms (complex numbers or integers), and it works fine for me.

Gun Sales on the Rise a Year After Newtown
Tomorrow marks the one-year anniversary of the Newtown, Connecticut shooting spree at Sandy Hook Elementary that took the lives of twenty school children and six adults.
Jeremy Richman's daughter Avielle was among those killed. He told the Associated Press that he'll be marking the day with thoughts of his daughter.
"We'll be thinking of Avielle and where she would've been at seven instead of at six—and hopefully what we can do to prevent somebody else from feeling that same sadness," Richman told the AP.
That desire to prevent a tragedy of this scope from ever taking place again is one shared by many Americans. Yet despite the nation's shock and grief, a year later gun laws are no stricter, and gun sales are on the rise.
In December 1993, 70 percent of Americans said they supported stricter gun laws, according to a CNN poll. But 10 years later, a similar poll from CNN conducted earlier this month found support for gun control among just 49 percent of respondents.
In total, Americans bought an estimated 19 million guns this year.
Robert Draper, contributing writer to The New York Times Magazine, writes about the legislative battle over gun control in this week's issue.

Vessel Registration
Supporting Documents for Boat Registration
All documents should have adequate information to identify the boat, such as registration number, hull identification number, length, make, year, and construction material.
Documents can be submitted 1 of 4 ways:
Document 1
Proof of ownership is required to register a vessel. Most often this is a bill of sale showing sufficient information to identify the vessel plus the seller's and owner's name. See WRD example Bill of Sale. Other proofs of ownership that may be used are listed below. Bills of sale or invoices should show buyer and seller, and be signed by both. If proof of ownership cannot be obtained, a completed and signed Affidavit of Vessel Ownership form may be submitted by the vessel owner.
Document 2
A signed Georgia Vessel Registration Application is required. If a vessel is registered online, the online process allows for electronic agreement without requiring a signed application.
New Vessels, Out-of-State Vessels, and Homemade Vessels require additional documents:
New Vessels:
For new, never before registered vessels, a legible copy of the of the Manufacturer's Statement of Origin is required.
Out-of-State Registrations
For vessels with Out-of-State Registrations, a legible copy of the title if coming from a Title State OR a copy of out-of-state Registration Card if the vessel is from a non-titling state is required.
Homemade Vessels - Never Before Registered,
Homemade Vessels - Never Before Registered, will require a HIN number. If no HIN Number, then a DNR HIN inspection is required before the HIN will be issued. .
Examples of Proof of Ownership Documents:
· Bill of Sale
· Dealer's Invoice
· Transferred Title to New Owner's Name
· Lottery Prize/Raffle or Gift/Donation: Legal documents, Statement of Gift, or Winner Notification.
· Divorce with Decree or Spouse Transfer: Bill of Sale from Seller (spouse owner of boat), or Court Order showing transfer
· From Deceased Owner or Inherited from Owner: Legal documents showing transfer. See FAQ for list of documents.
· Lien Holder Repossessions, Bankruptcy, Default on Payment: Court Order or other document giving seller possession and/or authority to sell.
· Insurance Claim: Bill of Sale from Seller and Theft/Loss Report.
· Pawn Shop Claim: Bill of Sale from Seller and Pawn Shop Affidavit or Ticket.

text: I just aquired a blackline 68 PR that I am turning around for resale.. The head is totally stock and original except for three of the pre amp tubes. The cab, grill cloth, speaker(12 inch Celestion Alnico Blue) , and reverb pan are all replacement parts. I have drip edge from another amp I can fit to the PR to make it look the part of 1968. Just wondering what you guys think if that is worth it or not. I would have to trim the baffle and and the drip edge moulding since it is from a Vibrolux orginally. Thanks for you input.

Since the first Kindle release, this book reading tablet has reached massive popularity despite of some objections about declaring this tablet as book replacement.
Best Buy Kindle Fire is among the hottest tablet items sold, especially since it features both cheap price and considerably more advanced apps and features than previous Kindles. These make Kindle Fire one of the most surprising apps, because from all tablets ever released, Kindle is a name that is still be mostly related to book reading function and audio book file storing, and nothing else. This time, Kindle brings its product to the new level with Kindle Fire, and it seems that we can expect for more things to come.
The Hot Item: Kindle Fire 8.9" at Amazon
Kindle Fire is marketed as a Kindle with more than book reading and saving apps, showing richer features than previous Kindles ever released. The improvements are shown from the look and shape, the technology and the apps. The hottest item of Best Buy Kindle Fire right now is Kindle Fire with 8.9 inch screen, released shortly after Kindle Fire with 7 inch screen and dubbed as the advanced Kindle. Sure, the 8.9 inch Kindle Fire has almost twice the price of Kindle Fire with 7 inch screen, but the price is still mostly considered cheap if you think about what this 'book reading' tablet can do now.
Significant improvements of Kindle Fire 8.9" that you can see at its feature list at Amazon are, among others, the display, audio system, connectivity, storage capacity and the multi touch capability. Probably not the best buy at all if you are a hardcore business folk type with highly mobile working style, but if you are a college student, or parent who wants to get your kid a cheap tablet, this can be a good item to covet.
Best Buy Kindle Fire 8.9" features another, more advanced version of the same product, which is Kindle Fire 8.9" 4GB. The price seems outrageous at first; if you see both Kindles at Amazon, you will see that the 8.9" costs around $269, but the 8.9" 4GB costs almost $400! You are not to blame if you think that the 4GB one must have significant plus points compare to almost identical 8.9" (without 4GB on its name). Unless you are a casual buyer who does not put much attention to the spec details, you will indeed find significant, more advanced features.
Why Best Buy Kindle Fire 8.9" is a Hot Item
Both 8.9" Kindle Fires at Amazon boast advanced specs. Similar specs that they have are the High Definition LCD Screen (compared to mere LCD Screen from 7" Kindle Fire), similar screen size (1980×1200), same audio system (Dolby with dual speakers), same weight and battery life period (almost 10 hours with continuous using). And make sure you read each product's description because they do look similar! The only difference between Kindle Fire 8.9" and Kindle Fire 8.9" 4GB is the extra 4G LTE for the connectivity of the latter Kindle. Other than that, they are pretty much the same product.
Details aside, Best Buy Kindle Fire 8.9" features 16 GB of capacity and more advanced Dual Core system; 1.5 GHz compared to 1.2 GHz of Kindle Fire 7". Only these two features are enough to win most users' hearts, especially college students, kids and people who want to own kindle for entertainment and internet browsing purposes. The size enables you to store many movies, videos, songs, games, audio books and book files without slowing down the overall performance. However, Kindle Fire does not forget its original function as book reading device; Amazon still boasts its function as multi file reading device, able to open various book files from TXT to PDF and AZW. 16 GB should be enough for most casual users, but if you want to buy the same version with 32 GB capacity, you must add about $30. Most books sold in the Kindle Fire are also tagged under $5, so you can get good deals every time you want to read good books.
Best Buy Kindle Fire 8.9" also features other accessories that you can find from Related Products section; recommended accessories for this Kindle Fire include transparent screen protector from ZAGG, the Invisible SHIELD for 8.9" Kindle Fire, and various Kindle Fire cases. Additional paid apps and downloadable programs will be featured in the Kindle program, which you can browse from the downright corner of the screen. Plus, there is no any installation required as soon as the Kindle is taken out of the box. Again, Amazon ensures that you can readily use the Kindle once you get it.
What to Expect in the Future
Amazon has announced that the next series of Kindle Fire will feature special personalized content for kids, called Kindle Free Time. While the current Kindle Fire has already found place at the hearts of many kids, Free Time will ensure parents that their kids use the tablet wisely and with certain measures of protection. Kindle Free Time will enable parents to set screen time limit to prevent kids from playing too much, and it also will select more appropriate and kid friendly contents.
Overall, Best Buy Kindle Fire HD 8.9" features quite good price for a high performance tablet that mostly has entertainment, social media, reading and browsing purposes (which are basically what most people do with their tablets anyway). If you are a business folks or serious grad students that need more professional features for daily performances, this tablet will not serve you in maximum capacity. However, you can get overall tablet functions for communication and entertainment without getting the famously expensive Apple price tags for almost similar products. Even with extra 16 GB capacity of the same product, you are only required to add about $30. Make sure you check out Best Buy Kindle Fire for a reading tablet with great features and large capacity just under $300.

Yes, you have it almost exactly correct. In the past, I have written here about this, until I got trolled off. I have had lifelong contact with the entity known as Enki or Ea, and that is where I got the information, which I then confirmed as much as I could with my own investigation.
I will disagree that human survival depends leaving and colonizing. Not yet anyway, and besides, it is too late. The Earth is humankind's home and it got messed up on humankind's watch, and it it humankind's responsibility to restore it, and to heal itself in the so doing. You need to do that at home before moving out.
Governments are not accelerating space development, in fact they are pulling back in accordance with instructions. Those in power have been promised many things, such as immortal bodies and even greater power and wealth than they already hold, if they complete their task of setting up systems that will hand over the mineral and biological wealth of Earth to their alien masters, which they mostly have done. These "elite" want to be gods so much that they do not see the Machiavellian inevitability that will be visited upon them: when taking over a new territory, one kills all of the leadership and all of the well educated. They will get on the ships thinking they will be made young and perfect and all powerful...and just when they think their reward is in their grasp - and after they have amused the ones really in power - they will all be killed.
So what do "we" do? Survive. We know the planet better than they do, even with all their technology. These aliens have enemies, and these enemies know that on Earth, this bunch will get sloppy, and shall we say "the enemy of our enemy is our friend?" Be true to who you are, prepare as well as you can but do not be greedy, and learn to recognize when a friend or loved one is lost (to the programming) and cut them loose before they betray you. Begin this process now if you have not already done so.
In closing, do not lose faith that there is something like the God you may have loved. There is. It has no name, no face, and no place because it is everywhere, in everything, and your spirits are parts of its being. What you have been taught is god is a little g god, a pretender, and a deceiver. That doesn't make wrong your concept in the larger sense, which derives from your innermost knowing of truth. You deserve a better God; it is time to connect with the real one...the one you will never see separated from the Creation, never proclaim himself a god, and never, ever, ask you to go to "holy" war, give him tribute, or kneel before him.

How Facebook Could Move Beyond Social Media
The social network needs to use its engineering experience look at future roles for the company as usage stats drop.
Towards the end of last year Facebook reported a drop in usage among younger teens. It's unclear whether this is something that will change or continue, but it is indicative of how the world of social media behaves. One minute, everyone prefers to use a specific network, and the next minute they prefer another. Facebook may need to look at future roles they can play beyond social media, given how dynamic technology is.
One aspect that Facebook can potentially explore and expand even further in the near future is the unique technical consultancy service that the company provides to clients.
Telecom company Sprint recently tapped Facebook as a technical consultant to build an app that lets users invite their Facebook friends to join their cell phone plans.
The app is part of Sprint's "Framily" campaign and lets users invite people to join their "Framily" and help each other save money.
Ad Age reports that last month, Sprint representatives, three engineers, a user-experience designer and a tech lead from DigitasLBi were at Facebook's headquarters at Menlo Park, California for a week and worked with Facebook partner engineers to develop the app. The Facebook engineers did not do any of the coding but were there to guide the team.
The Framily app is just one example of Facebook's "shipyard" program, which they offer to select clients via its Creative Shop. The Creative Shop helps brands and agencies be more effective in marketing over the network.
Aside from Sprint, retail company Target has also worked with Facebook engineers to help develop the company's Cartwheel shopping application. Frito Lay also worked with Facebook in 2012 and earlier this year for its "Do Us A Flavor" app.

What's New in Version 3.1
* Added experimental push notification support.
* Added Flickr photo previews (for @marissamayer).

Submitted by Kevan on
I love the new Push Notifications as well as the sleep option. You can set a block of time when you want TweetList to be quiet. Other apps need that.
Submitted by AnonyMouse on
Yes, the new push is quite nice but I still use the original Twitter to push my timeline. If they include that option then I can say goodbye to Twitter. Not sure how that will play out with the Twitter wars on their API. We will have to wait and see!
Version 3.2

Still very accessible and great to use.
What's New in Version 3.2
* Added support for iPhone 5.

Cannot open anything inside tweetlist pro
Submitted by Andrew on
Hello All,
I used to be able to double tap on a tweet and be able to open the article or whatever was contained within the tweet using this app. I cannot open anything within this app anylonger. I have instapaper mobilizer enabled, but when I double tap on a tweet , applevis for instance, if I wanted to see what an app review was all about, or look at a comment on an app, when I click on the http link, nothing happens. What am I doing wrong? Does this have anything to do with the new twitter api changes awhile back? Any help to fix my ignorance would be greatly appreciaited. Thank you. -Andrew-
My reply to Andrew
Submitted by Khalfan Bin Dhaher on
Good day Andrew.
Sure, I'm more than happy to help. May I know, what OS version are you running? Is it jale broken?
Have you tried deleting the app and reinstalling it? I would suggest you to do that if you haven't done that previously. Another thing I would suggest you to do is to check your network connection, TweetList is currently the best app at tin terms of compatibility with VO especially the latest update. However, there is a bit of delay while sending and receiving tweets and notifications. Hope they fix these issues on future updates.
Hope this helps.
Price Update
Submitted by AnonyMouse on
Found this to be interesting.
This app went from being $2.99 -> $4.99 -> and is now at $9.99.
Not sure in why the price jump but if you are looking for a great Twitter client that doesn't leave a ding in your wallet. Try looking at the Twitterrific. At this time of writing is still $2.99.
This app is still a great Twitter client to use and is very accessible. However, I wanted to give you a heads up before purchasing this app.
TweetList 4.0
Submitted by Michael Hansen on
TweetList version 4.0 is now available. It is a new app and currently costs $4.99. The only new feature in version 4.0 is optimization for iOS 7.
TweetList, do I need this new version?
Submitted by Lisa on
Hello, I already have TweetList pro, and it is my favorite app for accessing my Twitter feed. So my question is, do I need this latest version of TweetList, or can I just continue to use the version that I already paid for? I don't mind paying for an app, but I just don't see why I would want two TweetList apps on my iPhone 5S. Thank you.
The Old TweetList Still Works for Now
Submitted by Michael Hansen on
Hi Lisa,
I saw on @TweetList's timeline that the old version of TweetList still works. As Twitter API requirements and such change, though, I would expect that there will come a point where the older version of the app will no longer function properly. The developer's timeline also indicated that future versions of TweetList for Twitter will begin to take advantage of some of iOS 7's new features.
The new TweetList
Submitted by Lisa on
Hello Michael,
Thank you for this information. Would I just do a search in the app store for TweetList, and the new TweetList will come up? If I decide to purchase the new TweetList should I then delete the version I am using now from my iPhone 5S? Also, are there any new features in the new TweetList that are not in the version that I am currently using? Thank you.
Hi Lisa. If you search in the
Submitted by Dave82 on
Hi Lisa. If you search in the App Store you will get two results. One is called "Tweetlist for Twitter" and the other one is called "Tweetlist 4 for Twitter" and is currently cheaper. The latter is the one to buy. I checked this with the developer yesterday. HTH
Can't log in
Submitted by Callum on
I've just bought the new app, Tweetlist 4 for twitter. I have accepted the would like to access accounts thing, but when I click on either of my accounts it says "Failed to validate oauth signiture and code", or something like that.
Checked my settings and all the passwords and usernames are correct. Can anyone help?
Log in issues
Submitted by Andrew on
I too, received that same error message when I purchased the app and allowed it access. What I found was, that if I deleted my account and then started from scratch, I re-added my account to the application, it then signed in just fine and I no longer had any issues. You might have to delete both of your accounts and re-enter them from scratch. I know it's a pain, but it works. At least it did for me. Hopefully the dev's of this app will choose to give this one further updates, even after IOS 8 is released in 10 months and not decide to create yet another version and make us all pay once again. I didn't mind it this time, but I hope it isn't a recurring event. That is all. -Andrew-
Hi Andrew
Submitted by Callum on
Hi Andrew,
I did what you said, cleared my accounts off the app then added them again and it worked. Thanks. I was getting a bit worried that I'd spent £2.00 on an app that didn't work but after you get passed that bug its very good.
Which TweetList to purchase
Submitted by Lisa on
Hello, The TweetList app I should purchase is the more expensive one not the cheaper one, correct? Just wanted to double check, so I don't get the wrong one. Thank you all for the help.
Submitted by Dave82 on
Hi Lisa. No, it's actually the cheaper one, which is on sale right now. It's called "TweetList 4 for Twitter" and at least in Ireland cost €2.69 right now. The more expensive one, called "TweetList for Twitter", costing €4.49 is the legacy product. So buy TweetList 4.

Carrefour said on Tuesday that it was pulling out of Singapore with the closure of its two existing outlets in the city-state by the end of this year.
The French retail giant was the first to introduce the hypermarket concept in Singapore with the opening of its first store in 1997.
But Carrefour has found it tough to penetrate Singapore's market of 5.2 million people largely because other rivals are better entrenched with a wider network of branches, many of them near public housing estates.
Carrefour's two existing stores are located within distance of each other in the city-state's main shopping and business district.
"Carrefour Singapore announces the decision to close its Suntec and Plaza Singapura stores before end of 2012, since expansion and growth perspectives do not allow reaching a leadership position in the medium and long term," the retailer said in a statement.
The decision to withdraw from Singapore is not a surprise, according to a senior executive with an Asian electronics company which is among Carrefour's suppliers.
"There was a lot of talk (of closing) from the internal staff and they have been clearing stock for the last two months," the executive, who declined to be named, told AFP.
"They were just not competitive enough."
Carrefour, the world's second biggest retailer behind US group Wal-mart, reported in March that its 2011 profit dropped by 14.3 per cent to 371 million euros (US$463 million) amid weaker economic conditions.

Great Britain's men's eight stormed into the Olympic final with an emphatic victory in their heat at the Shunyi Rowing Centre.
The British crew, featuring Alex Partridge who missed out on the last Olympics through injury, finished over a length clear of reigning champions the USA.
Partridge was originally selected in the men's four for Athens but suffered a collapsed lung just five weeks before the Games and had to watch from home as Matthew Pinsent and co. won gold.
After Britain dominated their heat in Partridge's first taste of Olympic action, he said: "It is brilliant fun to be here. It is an experience you wouldn't get anywhere else.
"When you get a length up on the USA and look back on them you think 'that is such a long way!"'
World champions Canada won the other heat with Australia trailing in a distant last after their rudder broke.
Britain's men's eight victory came after the women produced an impressive performance to establish their own medal credentials, finishing second in their heat behind world champions the USA.
"That was our aim," said Katy Greves, the stroke of the boat from Henley-on-Thames.
"We have things to work on, like our start, but we know we have got raw speed. We have been working on the first half of our rave and I think it showed today."
The British women left Canada, medallists at two of the three World Cup regattas this year, a distant third with the Germans trailing home in fourth.
As winner, the USA qualified straight into the final while Britain must come through a repechage round on Wednesday - but they are in confident mood.
It has not been the easiest 24 hours, after they were left on the start-line last night when the session was postponed due to an approaching thunder storm.
It was frustrating at the time but for a crew featuring only one girl - 2004 double scull bronze medallist Sarah Wickless - who has Olympic experience, Natasha Page felt the dry-run was ultimately beneficial.
"It was hard going back home but I think we dealt with it quite well and used it to our advantage," said Page.
"It was good to use it as a dry run. We had a really good warm-up so it gave us a lot of confidence."

In this multidisciplinary program, students develop language competence along with knowledge of foreign cultures. The program takes a communicative approach to learning and students from all disciplines are invited to enroll in language courses, creating a dynamic learning environment. Language study also gives Drexel students access to a world of opportunities, including international study abroad programs and co-op placements. Students are placed in language courses in accordance with language placement testing administered during freshman orientation, and at various times during the academic year if the student is registering later for a specific language. Students who do not take advantage of this option must comply with the department's enrollment guidelines. Validation of minimal language competence is required for co-op placement abroad in countries where English is not the national language. Study for two consecutive terms or through level 103 is the minimum requirement for the BA degree; however, most departments require additional language coursework. REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL BACHELOR OF ARTS STUDENTS Students who have declared a bachelor of arts degree in any field are required to complete a foreign language at level 201 or take two consecutive courses if they place into or higher than the 201 level. If students have taken a language at their high school, and intend to pursue the same language at Drexel University, they are required to take a placement exam before enrolling in language classes. Students who have never studied the language of choice can enroll into 101. There are some majors at Drexel University that demand a higher level of proficiency in the language of choice. The two majors are Global Studies in the College of Arts and Science and International Business in the LeBow College of Business. It is strongly recommended that students review the language requirements of their major in the Course Catalog. Each major in the College of Arts and Sciences has individual requirements for language study. Please double check with your academic adviser that your language requirements are included in your Checklist of Major Plan of Study.

Finally I Can Wear Boots! - Upland, CA
Long story short, I had cankles. I worked out, maintained a healthy weight, but always had huge calves and ankles. Throughout all of high school and college, I never wore boots or any other shoes or clothing that couldn't fit over my calves. However, I wasn't even comfortable in a bathing suit or short skirt seeing that huge ankles are not very feminine. I am extremely happy that I had... READ MORE

Ubinas volcano has erupted
By Hannah Vickers
Ubinas volcano, which became active again in September 2013, has erupted. Residents of the nearby village have been evacuated.
After several months of activity, Ubinas volcano has now erupted.
The director of the Geophysical Institute of Arequipa, Orlando Macedo said that the eruption took place at 7:42 a.m. and gave off ash for one thousand meters.
The volcano, in the south of Peru became active in September of last year, after having been dormant for several years. Nearby village, Querapi was set to be evacuated. The village is located just five kilometers from the volcano.
Macedo said that the villagers were affected by the ash that was emitted from the eruption.
In September 2013, when Ubinas became active after several years of dormancy, Peru21 reported that authorities were planning to permanently relocate Querapi. The village is located just four kilometers from the volcano.
"The wind has blown towards the south, to the residents of Querapi, four kilometers from the crater, and the district of Ubinas, located at six kilometers," said Macedo.
The 20 families that lived in Querapi were evacuated to the locality of Ubinas last Saturday. They are waiting for the permanent removal of their village to Pampas de Hawái.
Ubinas volcano is considered to be the most active volcano of Peru. Eruptions have been reported since 1550.

My "special" role as a release manger was only a tiny piece (and nothing special) of the overall work we as a *community* have achieved with this first release. I could list many names and I am sure I would forget some. So I would like to say thank you to all who helped in the last month to bring our first release on the road. I will list only some key areas where we have achieved a lot: - migration of the website, the wiki, the user forum, the extensions and template repository, bugzilla - setting up new internal wiki at Apache, new pootle server, new project web page - IP cleanup of the code - setting up build bots - preparing regular dev snapshots and final RC - great QA work - archiving older releases and not yet integrated cws - establishing a powerful mirror network with new partners - work on documentation to reflect the new name and latest changes - ... The release is only the successful crowning end of a huge huge effort and a lot of work to migrate everything from Oracle infra-structure to Apache and partners. We all know that it was not only the source code that was migrated/moved but much more and especially the way how we improved over time our collaboration on different tasks makes me very proud and I am really looking forward to continue this work with all of you. We have strong characters in the project with different communication styles but I think we should always look twice what individuals are really doing here in the project and for the project before we adjudicate on somebody. And about statements like "the major part of the community have moved to..." can I only laugh out loud. I felt myself always as part of the OOo community and I never have moved to somewhere else ;-) (sorry I couldn't resist) Thanks to all of you Juergen

text: Now that we have a Dallas newspaper confirming that trade talks between Dallas and the Saints are actually going on maybe its fair game to speculate how this would change our draft plans if Howard does in fact join the team. It seems the consensus prior to Howard was around Merriman or possibly Spears. Spears would be a dead issue but what about Merriman, my first thought was that the front 4 would provide the pass rush so we wouldnt need our 1st pick to go to a rush specialst LB but the counter to that is the "you can never have enough pass rushers" motto. With Howard here are needs would be FS, RT, MLB, LB, WR and backup RB. Everything but FS and backup RB should be considered for our round 1 picks. I think we'll trade #20 to reaquire picks so at #11 we might go Merriman or get Alex Barron, or Williamson at WR. I don't think anyone else qualifies for spending our #11. This ofcourse assumes that the "usual suspects" are already gone in the top 10, D Johnson, B Edwards, M Williams. Thoughts? I'll save trading out of #11 and keeping #20 for another thread.

Aug. 11 to 21, Volunteer for the IA State Fair "Wine Experience"
Due to VERY popular demand, Iowa State Fair Board Has said YES again to the 3rd annual "Iowa Wine Experience" display and events scheduled in and around "Grandfather's Barn at the Iowa State Fair. Once again the pressure in on to get the 88+ volunteers needed to pull this off. For 2 years running The Wine Experience has been listed in the top 10 things to do at the Iowa State Fair. We estimated that 75, 000+ people walked through the Wine Experience each of the last two years. Our daily grape competition stomps have been a huge attraction. We have increased from 9 to 12, the number of Competitive grapes stomps we will be doing each day this year.
You do not have to be part of the Iowa vine/wine industry to volunteer.
144 rounds of competitive grape stomps will be done this year. 3 stompers and 3 muckers per stomp. 12 per day.
What will you do: - smile - talk to people - serve wine & crackers - listen to music - help with the grape stomping contests each day - other duties as assigned - Give directions to other State Fair exhibits - tidy up the place
Suggested Attire: Typical casual State Fair clothes.
Working conditions: Best location at the fair. Grandfather's Barn is on top of the hill and surrounded by large shade trees and out of the way of the huge crowds at the base of the hill. The state fair shuttle has a "stop" right outside of Grandfather's Barn
Fringe benefits: - free parking tickets - free State Fair entry tickets - free bathroom facilities - free water - free shade - free music - free to promote your vineyard and/or winery with pictures, brochures, etc...
Why: To help promote the Iowa Wine Industry.
The State Fair starts on Thursday, August 11th and ends on Sunday, August 21st. We are looking to fill the following shifts each day of the fair:
Shift 1 Day - 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Shift 2 Evening - 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
(Left) There is even a kids tent at the Wine Experience.
The Wine Experience is sponsored and financed by the Iowa State Fair. Barb Rasko (MakeMineWine magazine) has once again agreed to be the superintendent of this display. I have also agreed to help with many of the details and daily duties to make this a HUGE success again this year.
This is a GREAT opportunity to promote the Iowa grape & wine industry to the 1 million+ people from around the world who attend this event.
Let me know if you can help by telling me what days and shifts you could be available. I will then get back to you ASAP.
I will need the mailing address you want your tickets sent to and your cell phone # for communication on the Fairgrounds.

Now's the Time to Use Petiole Analysis to Manage Vineyard Nutrition
by Paul Domoto, ISU Extension fruit specialist (firstname.lastname@example.com )
Proper pruning, crop load management, vineyard nutrition are the primary way for maintaining a healthy, productive vineyard. In maintaining the proper nutrient levels, petiole analysis is a very effective management tool because it will tell you how much of each mineral nutrient the vines are able to obtain from the soil, and can identify nutrient shortages and excess, and identify cases where one nutrient may be competing with another. It is not an exact science because it can't tell you how much more or less of a nutrient to apply, but if practiced on an annual basis, it will allow you to fine tune your vineyard fertility program.
For grapes grown in the Midwest, the period from mid-July to mid-August (or early veraison) is the best time to conduct a petiole analysis. This is because both nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) in plant tissue declined during the growing season and the rate of decline is slowest during this period. Also, because N and K decline during the growing season, it is best to sample the same time each year when conducting petiole analysis on an annual basis. I often tell growers to collect petiole samples on August 1 – it's easy to remember and it falls in the middle of the sampling period.
Collecting Grape Petioles for Tissue Analysis:
is a guide for collecting a sample, and lists Midwest laboratories that perform the service. If you are in Iowa, you can send me your results (some labs will forward the results to me), and I will look them over and make recommendations. If you are in a neighboring state, there is a listing of Extension specialist that can be contacted.

The Iowa Wine Growers Association's bus trip to the Southwest Michigan State University Viticulture field day was held from Tuesday, July 26 to Thursday, July 28. The first stop on our trip was Lavender Crest Winery in Colona, IL where Martha and "Ritt" Rittmueller (owners) met with us and gave us the VIP treatment.
(Left) Group picture with Martha & Ritt Rittmueller front and center. 7-26-11

After we finished up at Lavender Crest Winery, we took off to visit the Round Barn Winery in Barota, MI. Unfortunately we did not make it. Traffic jams on I-80 in the Chicago area delayed our intended arrival way past the opening hours at Round Barn Winery. We instead took off for the Day's Inn motel in Benton Harbor, MI. We ended the day with a late meal and adult refreshments at a nearby Applebee's.
The following morning we all headed for the Southwest Michigan State University Research and Extension Center to attend their 22nd Viticulture field day. Staff at the Center estimated that over 250 people were in attendance. Except for a short rainfall event over the noon hour, the weather was very nice. The educational vineyard talks, demonstrations, vendor exhibits, meals and wine social were GREAT! Pictures below:

(Left) A vine layering demonstration was set up in the vineyard. This homemade layering tool is used to lay the vines into the soil trench. Thin slices of straw are placed on either side of the vine for moisture retention and weed control. The layered plant is connected to the mother plant for 2 years before being separated.
Early in the morning the following day we all boarded the bus to visit Arrowhead Vineyards in Barota, MI. Dan and his wife Heather Nitz are the 5th generation of grape growers on this largest winegrape farm in Michigan. Dan manages the operation with his dad. Arrowhead Vineyards raises both juice grapes and winegrapes. They grow blocks of grapes for 45 different wineries in 10 states on short and long term contracts. They harvest at night and send the semi truckloads directly from the vineyard. Here are some selected pictures:

(Left) Homemade two row under-row weed sprayer. Metal deflector bars around the front tires help keep the vines from the wheels. 7-28-11
(Left) We stopped at Mike Nitz's (Dan's cousin) vineyard where Mike talked about growing Cabernet Franc and discussed how he sells his grapes. He had just contracted his Cabernet Franc for $1,700/ton delivered to a winery. He will probably get around 4- 5 tons per acre this season. 7-28-11
(Left) Mike Nitz puts these rigid plastic whiskers on the front of his tractor to keep the vines away from the wheels. 7-28-11
We quickly jumped on the bus after visiting with Arrowhead vineyards and Mike Nitz to have lunch at Anderson's Winery in Valparaiso, IN. This winery sells hobby wine equipment, green house plants and homemade fudge along with the normal wine tasting and wine gift shop merchandise. They also provide picnic lunches and hayrack rides through their vineyard. Pictures below:
(Left) Sign along the highway.
(Left) These trees in their patio area are actually doubled trunked grape vines shaped into trees. Neeto-Keeno!
On the way back home from Anderson's winery we made an impromptu stop at Fox Valley Winery in Oswego, IL. I called the owner Dick Faltz on his cell phone one hour ahead of time to warn of our coming. He was gracious enough to leave his vineyard work and drive to the winery to greet us.
Pictures below:
(Left) Dick Faltz (owner) of Fox Valley Winery served up plenty of wine as we went through their huge wine list. Their 3- liter box wines are great sellers. 7-28-11
(Left) Mike Faltz (son) gave us a tour of the wine production facility. He talked about the portable wood oven pizza setup they have on wheels and use at many events. It is very popular.
After dropping off six of our passengers at Iowa City we drove on to Summerset Winery to drop off everyone else. We arrived around 10 p.m. Thursday evening. I want to thank Ron & Linda Mark of Summerset Winery for allowing everyone to park at their winery. I also want to thank Windstar Bus Lines for going out of their way to make this trip FANTASTIC!

Comments from Readers
" FYI....I bought two different grapevine hedging knives from two different manufacturers, both with serrated blades, a Brush King and one from Kelco Industries. The blade on the Brushking goes into the handle 2 inches less than the Kelco, the Brushking rivets were not centered and were near the top of the handle because the metal is only half the height of the handle thickness, the rivets were not flush with the handle. The serrations on the Brushking are not as deep. The Brushking handle broke withing ten minutes of light use. After I sort of repaired it and reinforced the handle with a hose clamp it did not hold its sharpness as long as the Kelco. The Kelco was almost $20 less expensive. I've also used a Kelco at home for two seasons of heavy abuse with no damage." 7-29-11
