8 tips for a successful open house
By Dana Dratch of Bankrate.com
Attract the right people
Call it "Operation Open House."
You're throwing open the doors to sell your home. How do you make sure the right people show up?
You already have handled the basics: The house is clean and well-maintained. You've cleared the counters and ditched the clutter. And you might have employed a bit of staging to set the mood.
But when it comes to making the event a success — by pulling in the serious buyers — it pays to know a few tricks of the real-estate trade. Here are eight top tips from real-estate professionals.

8 tips for a successful open house
1. Take advantage of technology
Holding an open house? There's an app for that.
Make sure your agent uses the latest technology to market your house. Agents can advertise open houses on a host of popular real-estate websites, says Joan Pratt, a real-estate broker with Re/Max Professionals in Castle Pines, Colo.
Because most buyers start their searches on computers, you need a professional presentation online, says Jeff Wiren, president of the Portland (Ore.) Metropolitan Association of Realtors and a broker with RE/MAX Equity Group. That means posting more than a few token pictures, he says. Post a good number of photos and "make sure the pictures are of good quality and really show the home well," he says.
Realtor.com has a free real-estate application for consumers. It finds and lists all open houses within a certain area, with maps and directions to each. It includes salient features, such as asking price and number of bedrooms.
But real-estate agents may have to take a few extra steps to get the open house to appear on the app and may have to buy additional services from the site, says Julie Reynolds, the website's vice president.

2. Save paper, save money
High-tech can save you and buyers money and time, too.
Years ago, real-estate agents prepared hefty brochures with materials about the house for prospective sellers. These days, many agents put all of that information online, says Pat Vredevoogd Combs, past president of the National Association of Realtors and vice president of Coldwell Banker AJS Schmidt in Grand Rapids, Mich. People are more likely to read the material online, she says. And she says that most of her attendees have reviewed it before they come to the open house.
Still, Combs also says she sometimes keeps a few printed brochures for folks who might not have access to or interest in the Internet.

3. Use low-tech, too
How would you like to increase foot traffic with serious buyers for about $7?
Update that "for sale" sign with an "open house" sign exactly one week before your big event.
Called "riders" because they ride on top of your "for sale" sign, the attachments are available from home-improvement stores. Usually, you can get them preprinted with "Open house Saturday" or "Open house Sunday."
So for just a few dollars, "anyone driving by will know that they can come back Sunday and it will be open," Pratt says.

4. Enlist the neighbors
The last thing you want when you throw open the doors for an open house is your neighbors nosing through your closets.
But that's actually not such a bad thing, according to some real-estate agents.
"The neighborhood people are the most important salespeople for the house," Combs says. "So I want them to come in. They're the people who want their friends to come move into the neighborhood. They're my scouts."
If you want to make the most of it, consider sending invitations or fliers — print them out cheaply from your computer — to invite the neighbors. You can also use email or Evites, if that's more your style.

5. Create a neutral environment
If you have anything that could be considered the least bit controversial, such as an animal head on the wall or a photo of you with a polarizing politician, take it down for the duration of the open house.
Some real-estate agents recommend going as far as getting rid of anything personal — from family photos to drawings on the fridge — and say that a blank slate helps potential buyers picture themselves in the house.
Other agents take the opposite view.
"People are buying a house, and they want to live in it and they want to know that human beings have lived in it," Combs says. "I think it connects with them."
Either way, close all the toilet lids and get rid of those fuzzy or carpeted lid covers, Pratt says. The covers are dated, and "no one ever wants to look in your toilet bowl," she says.
Also consider removing area rugs in favor of bare floors, Pratt says.
"You want buyers to see the floors," she says. "It gives them a feeling of space that's not chopped up."

6. Leave — and take your pets with you
If you have an agent, there's no reason for you to attend your own open house. So grab the pets and get out of the way. Buyers must picture themselves in the house. That's more difficult if you're around.
"Rarely does it work out for the buyers and sellers to meet in advance," Pratt says. From a practical standpoint, "when buyers are walking through an open house, they want some anonymity. And with the homeowners there, they can't speak freely. And they can't speak to each other."
Collect all your pets' ancillary items, such as food bowls and litter boxes. If you can't take the items with you, make sure they are pristine, Pratt says. While showing a 6,000-square-foot house, a soiled litter box in an out-of-the-way corner of a distant spare room caused one pair of potential buyers to write off an otherwise-spotless house because it "smelled like cat pee," she says.

8 tips for a successful open house
7. Be security-conscious
You're letting total strangers walk through your home. You're allowed to set a few ground rules before the big day. A few to consider:
Everyone signs in and shows a driver's license, says Patricia Szot, president of the MetroTex Association of Realtors and owner of Keller Williams Realty/Lake Cities at Firewheel in the Dallas area. Skip the ID, and you run the risk of a fake name and identification number.
No one uses the bathrooms. It's an open house, not a gas station, Szot says. With an open house, you never want a closed door between you and a stranger in your home, she says.
There's nothing in the medicine cabinets worth taking. Pharmaceutical theft is a hot crime at some open houses, Combs says. Dispose of anything you're not using and take the rest with you or lock it up.
Valuables are secured. Lock up anything that might tempt sticky fingers: cash, jewelry, credit cards, bills, liquor, valuable tchotchkes and personal electronics.
Guests always have a chaperone. Have whoever is manning the tour work in pairs or as a team to be certain that guests will have an escort as they view the house, Szot says.
8 tips for a successful open house
8. Choose an 'off' hour
Most open houses are Saturday, or more often Sunday, from 1 to 3 p.m. or from 2 to 4 p.m., Szot says.
"I highly recommend doing it from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.," she says.
Not only do you have less open-house competition at that time, but you also draw attention to your house. Chances are buyers will hit several open houses the same day. At the beginning, "they are excited about all the houses they're going to tour, Szot says. "They fly through them eager to see the next one."
But at the end of the day, if they're still looking, she says, you'll get serious consideration.

TRENTON – The way Mikhail Grabovski describes it, you'd think it was vital.
Not the brand which manifests itself on the ice, but the unknown and often unquantifiable type off of it. Difficult to define, even more challenging to assess, chemistry and its importance is very real to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
With a rare week off early in the season, the Leafs will look to build some chemistry and to do so, they've traveled two hours east of the city to the small town of Trenton. Home to some of the best walleye fishing in the province and the vast Canadian Forces Base, team bonding is the primary function on this week's agenda.
But is chemistry off the ice actually relevant to the success of a team?
"I think it does matter," said John-Michael Liles. "When you have that bond – when you know that each and every guy is pulling their weight, pulling in the same direction – it does, it makes a difference. The best teams, the teams that have the most success are the ones that are a lot of times the closest."
Liles is one of seven new players on the Leafs roster this fall, not to mention 23-year-old Matt Frattin, who joined the team for one game at the conclusion of last season. Integrating those players into the dressing room mix is of the utmost importance for Ron Wilson. "We have a lot of new faces, kind of a different feel to our team right now, so just the time they spend together is more important than anything," said Wilson. "Just any time they can spend together, get to know each a little bit better is a good idea."
Early examples have already occurred.
On the Sunday before final roster cuts, a group of teammates gathered at the home of Colby Armstrong for snacks and NFL football. Cody Franson even made his way to Toronto three weeks before training camp began just to get to know his new teammates a little bit better. Tyler Bozak quickly emerged as a reliable ride to practice for the 24-year-old.
Without any time spent together during the preseason – the team traveled and returned on the day of games – the Leafs will look to use the three-day sojourn to further develop their familiarity off the ice. According to Wilson, captain Dion Phaneuf was chiefly responsible for the activity planning – as yet unknown – much of it aligned with the Canadian military.
"It helps," said Liles of forging an off-ice bond. "So far, [I've] been here a month and a half or so and it's been great because there's a real strong bond among the guys on this team.
"You build that bond and basically when you're out on the ice you're going to battle for everybody that you're out there with, everybody on your team. That's what it's all about – you're out there sacrificing for the guys around you."
Grabovski remembers a vastly different dressing room environment in Montreal during his early NHL days.
"Everybody made a group," he said, "and they [stayed] in groups; French guys with French guys, Czech guys with Czech guys. Here [it's] better because everybody's together. It doesn't matter what kind of nationality.
"That's better than if you're just friends on the ice."

SEATTLE -- Washington's Fish Consumption Rate could change in the next month, impacting the state's environmental law and pitting water quality advocates against large business associations.
The rate is a tool to guide environmental policy and reflects how much fish people in Washington eat everyday. Right now, the Fish Consumption Rate is 6.5 grams per day, roughly a bite. Recently, Oregon increased its rate to 175 grams per day, about the size of a fillet.
"The Fish Consumption Rate already is what it is," said Chris Wilke with Puget Soundkeeper Alliance, "People are eating fish at a certain level. What we're talking about is making the regulations for water quality reflect what's happening on the ground."
An increased rate means stricter water quality policy, because the more humans consume, the less pollutants should be in the water, Wilke explained.
Adjusting the rate has been a long battle for environmentalists, and has included federal mandates and litigation.
Gov. Inslee's office established a taskforce to find common ground among environmental groups and business leaders.
Just last week, the Association pf Washington Business was one of 31 organizations to sign a letter to the Governor, restating the need for healthy waters, humans and fish, but expressing reservations about raising the rate too high.
"Looking in ultra-low numeric criteria which will return scant environmental/health benefits, predictable economic turmoil, as well as growth and development uncertainty is not a good policy choice for Washington state," the letter stated.
The Governor's office said a proposal could be released in the next month or so, and the Department of Ecology was working with both sides of the issue on a reasonable medium.

A-Line Medium Fullness 2 Tier A-line Slip Style 603 26 27
At least I look good in my dress... I typically wear a size 6, and after reading everyone's reviews I went two sizes up and ordered a 10...and it still fit tight around the elastic area up top. Once I got everything on, though, I thought everything looked amazing! Definitely order a bigger size, and if you can tolerate a bit of a squeeze then I promise you will like the results! April 17, 2012
exactly what was needed The skirt is perfect. The only difficulty is to find the right size. My dress from Davids Bridal is 4. At the store I first tried skirt 6 but couldn't breath, took size 8 and it seemed much better. But at home (eventually ordered everything online as the dress I chose is only available online) I realized that it is still not enough it simply doesn't let you take the full breath with your ribs. Going to order size 10 online April 6, 2012
It's okay I definitely agree with others that it runs small (at least around the elastic up top). They had given me a size 6 to go with my 6 dress. Once I got it home, I decided to try it on and I couldn't zip it up entirely. Went back to the store and they were kind enough to exchange it, got a size 8 and tried it on in the store before leaving just in case. It did sort of feel just like the 6, but the consultant that had helped me, helped me zip it up as well. Still a bit tight but at least it stretches to where I can breathe. You'll definitely want to go higher in your size for the slip no matter how tiny you are! March 6, 2012
Terrible sizing I purchased this slip in a size 10, along with my size 10 wedding dress. After receiving the slip, I attempted to try it on with my dress. The sizing runs much smaller than it should! Actually, that's an understatement as it is ridiculously small. I went back to the store (which is totally out of the way) and swapped it out for a size 14 after trying it on at the store. I tried on my new size 14 slip at home and it is EXACTLY the same size as the 10 that I just returned. I don't know what to do at this point. The sizes are too inconsistent for this slip. The material isn't great either, it's very cheap nylon. I am a size 8 in street clothes, my size 10 wedding dress from David's Bridal is loose in my waist/hips, and this size 14 slip doesn't come close to fitting! This isn't worth all the stress it has caused me. February 28, 2012

When you have kids, so I'm told, you really have to watch what you're leaving around. Don't want them finding things they ought not to know about. Never know what they'll do with it. Maybe eat the rat poison under the kitchen sink, show mommy your hidden Barnyard Fun porn stash, take that .45 you keep in your car with him to school.
A 6-year-old boy was found to be carrying a gun at his school in Victorville. Seems the tyke's pants were sagging and when somebody was helping cinch up his belt they found a loaded .45.
Sorry, a loaded .45 that had been stolen in a November robbery.
So his dad, Michael Lewis, has been arrested and is being investigation for receiving stolen property and possession of a firearm by a felon. Felon, too? Sounds like a winner.
The first pistol I fired was a Browning 9mm my dad got off a guy in Nevada for twenty bucks and a 6-pack of Coors. I was, what, eight at the time? Nine? That thing was goddamn heavy and I wasn't too keen on the idea of holding it much less carrying it around. And now this kid, three years younger than I was, is packing a loaded .45 in his shorts?
Damn. I hadn't realized I was such a pussy.

Agnostic and atheist "secular humanists" have been quietly taught that spirituality is foolish or, at best, questionable. Some secular humanists are spiritual but most are not. We are thus cut off from a deep aspect of our humanity. Humans have led intricate and meaningful spiritual lives for thousands of years, and many secular humanists are bereft of it. Reinventing the sacred as our response to the emergent creativity in the universe can open secular humanists to the legitimacy of their own spirituality.--"Breaking The Galilean Spell" / Stuart KauffmanYou may also want to read what Vaclav Havel had to say about the matter.

Hillsboro Aviation has come a long way since it opened in 1980 as a helicopter training school. Today, the Oregon-based company offers aviation services ranging from charter and maintenance to aircraft sales and FBO operations. Headquartered at Portland-Hillsboro Airport, the company, which has a staff of 225 employees, operates a satellite facility in Portland as well as two flight-training centers–one in Troutdale and another in Prineville, Ore., as well as a seasonal helicopter tour operation at Mount St.
Port of Portland
The recently launched UVair FBO Network–an alliance between Epic Aviation and Universal Weather & Aviation's UVair Fuel Program–announced it has added 10 members: in Colorado, Denver Jet Center at Centennial Airport; in California, Napa Jet Center at Napa County Airport, Jet West at Salinas Municipal Airport and both Maguire Aviation locations at Van Nuys Airport; in Texas, Textar Aviation at Dallas Love Field Airport; in Michigan, Grand Rapids Air Center; in Or
Atlantic Aviation moved to expand its Pacific Northwest footprint when it agreed to purchase the FBO assets of Oregon-based Flightcraft. The Oregon company operates the sole FBOs at Portland International Airport and at Mahlon Sweet Field Airport in Eugene, Ore.
Independent FBO network Paragon Aviation Group has added five members: Maguire Aviation at Van Nuys Airport (VNY) in California, Aero Air at Portland-Hillsboro Airport (HIO) in Oregon, Galvin Flying Service at Boeing Field/King County International Airport (BFI) in Seattle, First Aviation Services at Teterboro Airport (TEB) in New Jersey and XJet at Centennial Airport (APA) in Colorado.
Seven FBOs have left the Million Air franchise system and switched to a new brand name, Odyssey Aviation, having joined in a marketing partnership with the Odyssey Aviation Bahamas FBO at Lynden Pindling International Airport in Nassau. Odyssey Bahamas also used to be a Million Air franchisee.
Due to challenges in the overall Northwest U.S. business sector, Portland, Ore.-area FBOs serving corporate aviation clients have structured their operations to attract clients from a greater radius.

Posts tagged conservative hatred
This is a video confirmed as produced and posted by Norwegian domestic terrorist Anders Behring Breivik a.k.a Andrew Berwick. In the video, he describes the destruction of "cultural conservatism" as being a product of "Marxists" and "Multiculturalism." He calls for conservatives to arm themselves while it is still legal to acquire arms, and claims leftist elites are "importing votes" through immigration.
Here's more:
On Saturday, Norway's TV2, citing police sources, reported that the suspect uploaded a video to YouTube and a 1,500-page manifesto, written in English, to the Norwegian Web site Freak.no just hours before the attacks.
Both the manifesto, "2083: A European Declaration of Independence," and the YouTube video were signed "Andrew Berwick," an apparent Anglicization of Anders Breivik. Both also make extensive reference to the Crusades and the supposed threats to Christian Europe posed by Muslim immigrants and leftist political leaders
The video's captions call on conservatives to "embrace martyrdom." The text also says that if "the multiculturalist elites of Europe continue to refuse to voluntarily transfer political and military power to our conservative revolutionary forces," then World War II "is likely going to appear as a picnic compared to the coming carnage."
The video's extensive text also bemoans the fact that postwar "Europe never had any politicians of the McCarthy caliber." It complains of "the demonization of cultural conservatives" and the "persecution and vilification of nationalists" by "liberal elites," who are described as "cultural Marxists."
An image of President Obama appears at one point in the video, as the text describes a strategy of cultural Marxists to "systematically vilify ancestral heroes and instead glorify new, more appropriate 'idols' who adhere to Marxism."
This is absolutely chilling. What seems shocking to Norwegians is common place in American political discourse. Don't believe me? Watch the video above in full. Replace references to Europe or European with America or American.
The disclosure of Breivik's claimed links with far-right organisations came as details continued to emerge about the rightwing Christian fundamentalist and Freemason behind Norway's worst postwar act of violence.
It was revealed that the 32-year-old former member of the country's conservative Progress party – who had become ever more extreme in his hatred of Muslims, leftwingers and the country's political establishment – had ordered six tonnes of fertiliser in May to be used in the bombing. While police continued to interrogate Breivik, who was charged with the mass killings, evidence of his increasingly far-right world-view emerged from an article he had posted on several Scandinavian websites, including Nordisk, a site frequented by neo-Nazis, far-right radicals and Islamophobes since 2009.
The Norwegian daily VG quoted one of Breivik's friends, saying that he had become a rightwing extremist in his late 20s and was now a strong opponent of multiculturalism, expressing strong nationalistic views in online debates.
Breivik had talked admiringly online about conversations he had had with unnamed English Defence League members and the organisation Stop the Islamification of Europe (SIOE) over the success of provocative street actions leading to violence.
"I have on some occasions had discussions with SIOE and EDL and recommended them to use certain strategies," he wrote two years ago. "The tactics of the EDL are now to 'lure' an overreaction from the Jihad Youth/Extreme-Marxists, something they have succeeded in doing several times already."
This could be here.
And really, I'm tired of this assertion that "he's not a real Christian." Fine. He's a right-wing extremist. He ranted about Muslims, Marxists, leftists, and the importance of a strong sense of nationalistic exceptionalism. If he weren't a mass murderer, he'd do well in Glenn Beck's former time slot. Is that better?
The ninth anniversary of 9/11 was commemorated in Lower Manhattan with a solemn ceremony of reflection and remembrance, but the focus and tone shifted as demonstrations for and against a planned Islamic cultural center and mosque got underway nearby.
The Rev. Terry Jones said he had "totally canceled" his plans to burn copies of the Quran in Gainesville, Fla., but the rancorous anti-Islam mood he espoused was evident near ground zero. Shortly after the memorial service for victims killed there, a man from North Carolina burned pages of the Quran, and another protester from Pennsylvania tore out pages of the Islamic holy book and coaxed the anti-mosque protesters to buy it as "toilet paper."
"It is tough, it is durable, it doesn't tear," he said to the onlookers, some of whom laughed while others looked shocked.
"The protest could have been done tomorrow," said Michele Belloli, 58, who said she had already helped block construction of a mosque in her neighborhood in Staten Island. "It isn't nice for the families of the victims to see us arguing on the day of their sadness," she said. "it hurts just to be down here."
Other protesters, however, asserted that 9/11 was an ideal day to marshal public sentiment against the controversial project, known as Park51.
"I think it is completely appropriate to have this rally today, because 9/11 is what it's all about," said Mary Jane Plaza, who came from Connecticut with her husband and headed to the anti-mosque rally after attending the memorial service.
"Muslims will never be American citizens, they don't fit, they don't assimilate," said one elderly protester from Illinois, who declined to give her name. "Let's call a spade a spade: I want them out, not in."
Protesters held up placards like "Islam is intolerant," and "No Bloomosque no Obamosque mosque, no victory mosque," mocking the support President Barack Obama and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg have shown for the Park51 project…
Belloli said that two months ago she would not have been able to articulate her reasons for opposing the mosque, but now she knows why. "This mosque has made me really read, and Muslims build mosques in areas they think they have conquered," she said.
I am having a tough time recognizing my country. Look at the faces of those people and tell me, this is what America is supposed to be about. You can't.

Mocha Slush
Oxmoor House
The secret to the flavor of this slush: espresso ice cubes. You'll have extra, so keep the ice cubes in a zip-top freezer bag for a quick frozen coffee treat that's much healthier than a trip through the drive-thru. (Got leftover coffee? Freeze it into ice cubes to use in place of the espresso cubes.)

1. Crocodile egg ice cream
This unusual frozen treat has been introduced at the Sweet Spot Artisan Ice Cream in Davo City, Philippines. According to its owner Bianca Dizon, they've been run off their feet with demand for the creamy stuff, which is made from crocodile eggs instead of your average chicken fare.
Bianca claims the crocodile ice cream is "more nutritious than its classic counterparts since it contains less cholesterol", and that croc eggs "provide more protein than ordinary chicken eggs".
She sources the eggs, which are either surplus or didn't hatch, from a nearby crocodile park.

It's one thing when an Android application adds support for new versions of Android or Android devices. It's another thing altogether when an application developer makes an application compatible with specific features on a particular Android device. And it's even more exciting when that feature actually rocks.
For users of the Samsung Galaxy Note, there's an application updated just for you. XDA Senior Member Volker1 has updated the Quill application with S-Pen functionality. The app also supports active pen input on the ThinkPad Tablet, HTC Jetstream, and HTC Flyer. It doesn't end there. There are a plethora of features in addition to S-Pen support including:
Active pen (digitizer) support on ThinkPad Tablet, HTC Jetstream, HTC Flyer, and Galaxy Note.
Very fast response to pen strokes.
"Fountain pen" mode supports pen pressure data, more pressure = thicker line.
Double-finger tap to zoom.
Two-finger move gesture.
Pen strokes are vector art, zoom does not pixelate your writing.
"Pen only" mode (optional) disables touch input while writing.
Android 3.x hardware accelerated graphics.
Open source (GPL), so your notes are not stuck in an opaque file format.
A couple features of note are the pen pressure data, and that the artwork is stored in vector format rather than being rasterized. For the pen pressure data, it actually accounts for how hard you press on the screen to determine the thickness of the line which is on its own a cool feature. For the vector images, well it's pretty self explanatory. Just keep zooming, no pixels! Of course, to take full advantage of the application, your device must be running either Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich.

Recently our good friend and Member Advocate Admin egzthundar1, wrote an article for people with Windows Phones with broken volume rockers. While this certainly is a great application, I think we can all admit, that while this helps Mango users, it doesn't help the over 9000 people who use Android. But fear not my green robot friends rocking Honeycomb and above, XDA Senior Member kevdliu created the Status Bar Volume Control Application. This simple application allows you to change the system volumes in a status bar notification. The operation is simple and described by kevdliu as such:
The four buttons on the notification mutes the selected volume, lowers it by one, raises it by one, and displays the system volume slider respectively.
Don't have Honeycomb or Ice Cream Sandwich? First of all, you should. I promise, it won't hurt. Second there is another option for you, Widgetsoid. This application allows you to add a widget to your home screen and create your own widget with different buttons to easily and quickly access and control different functions of your Android Device. Widgetsoid has options for controlling the sound, an easy quick mute and unmute option and a turn on and off WiFi, 3G, 4G or Bluetooth option. You can create a button to lock the screen, enable and disable GPS and, if equipped, Near Field Communication. Widgetsoid has options to show signal strength, battery temperature and CPU usage. You can customize the color and appearance of Widgetsoid as well. There are a lot more features on Widgetsoid that are not mentioned here.
So, if you have suffered the loss of the hardware button functions, due to repeated use or an unfortunate run in with the Washing Machine, or if you know someone with an iPhone that brags about their single button, you have options. You can use kevdliu's Status Bar Volume Control Application or Widgetsoid to show that Android is so awesome that it doesn't need buttons to function, but is still powerful enough to handle more than one button. More information is available in the Widgetsoid and Status Bar Volume Control Application threads.

Do you wear glasses? Is your vision not as good as it could be? Do you like seeing huge pictures of your friends so you are reminded of what they look like when they call? Do you have "friends" who use iPhones and brag about their awesome answer screen? Well, XDA Senior Member lowveld has a solution for you. Lowveld has created the Ultimate Call Screen HD call screen replacement. What can we say about Ultimate Call Screen HD other than it is, well, ultimate. It allows you to customize each contact's call screen. You can select a different High Definition picture for each contact. That picture will then be displayed in full screen when he or she calls.
But that is not all. You can set up block lists to block contacts. You can set the app to react to phone movements. In the Free version you can ignore a call by placing the phone face down, and the call will disappear as if by magic. The Pro version adds the option to change the placing the phone face down action to just mute the ringer or activate the speakerphone. The Pro version also adds theming capabilities and the ability to block all incoming calls, block unknown callers, and create a whitelist which will flip the blocking procedure. Instead of selecting contacts to block, you will be selecting contacts to not be blocked. Lowveld says the Whitelist feature is "Very useful for defining a set of contacts able to call you no matter what, and block everyone else."
Ultimate Call Screen HD is a feature packed call screen replacement program. If you are looking for a call screen replacement and are running Android versions 2.1 and above, which you should be, then give the application a try. Fill your call screen with large pictures of your friends with Ultimate Call Screen HD. More information can be found in the application's thread.

One cannot help but to love games on devices which make use of the sensors loaded in them. Who can forget the ever popular Teeter where you needed to balance and direct a ball through a maze filled with obstacles like holes, walls, and uneven floors? If you have not seen too many of these and are simply tired of slicing fruits and veggies and tossing birds or other cute and fluffy animals across a screen, then you should take a look at the work of XDA Forum Member FrenzyFugu. In Frenzy Fugu Fish, you are in control of a Fugu fish (hence the name) and your main objective is to try and eat all the pearls and targets on the level in a given time period.
The controls are simple as you will need to use your accelerometer to direct your fish. The caveat of the game is that levels get increasingly harder with more obstacles, less time, and even enemies such as other larger fish trying to make you their dinner. Your Fugu will be able to pick power ups from time to time to become invincible by inflating, which will allow it to do other things such as eating other smaller enemies. Just remember that you need to eat your objectives before time runs out. The game features 45 levels with more added every month.
Frenzy Fugu is casual fish game with 45 levels in 3 sets, each set with unique graphics design of the environment and introducing new game elements. Game will receive new set of 15 levels each month.
You can find more information in the original thread. Please leave your feedback for the dev if you would like to see features added to future revisions.

Multi-touch has become increasingly ubiquitous ever since pinch-to-zoom was added to Android's web browser and photo gallery. It has even been incorporated into several launchers, starting with the home screen previews in HTC Sense. Now you can incorporate even more multi-touch gestures on your Honeycomb tablet with Gesture Control. Developed by XDA Forum Member StupidIdea, the application is still in beta but has a few nifty features available.
The root-level application, which installs as a simple .APK file, gives Honeycomb tablet users the ability to use multi-touch commands to perform basic tasks. Supported gestures include the following:
Swipe 2 fingers from top downward
pinch 3-4 fingers
Show/Hide status bar:
Swipe 2 fingers from bottom upward
As stated, it is in beta so more features are planned, and users are more than welcome to suggest multi-touch commands they'd like to see in the final version. Unfortunately, the app seems to not be functional on many Ice Cream Sandwich-based devices, but the developer has stated plans to fix this in a future revision.
Check out the original thread for additional details, download links, and discussion.

Normal development efforts around these parts tend to include hours upon hours of people trying to bypass securities added to our devices. The exploits found are normally turned into either temp or permanent roots for Android devices, and this happens to grant people with added functionality on their devices, the ability to run several apps that require root access, and much more.
However, as everything in life, there are trade-offs. For instance, there are some apps and services that will detect the root status of your device and deny your access to them based on it, like the blockbuster app or Google Video.If you feel that you simply cannot live without these but yet want to be able to keep using your device rooted without having to root and unroot back and forth, XDA member motodroidfreak has you covered. He just released an app that will essentially rename your SU binary, making you lose root access for whenever you feel like using the aforementioned services.
The good thing about this app is that it allows you to regain your root just as easily as you deprived yourself from it. The app works for most Android versions except for ICS (for now) since the dev cannot test it. So, if you can jump in and provide the dev with logs or anything that he may require to get this going on ICS, it would be much appreciated.
This app Renames the SU Binary So you basically loose root access till you rename it back within the app!

Did our previous story on ML Controller only serve to whet your appetite for photography-related Android apps? If so, we have another app aimed at delivering you Android-powered photography fix.
XDA forum member Apachi2k brings us an innovative and lightweight portfolio and gallery application, aptly titled Fotolio. What sets this tablet-optimized application apart from the standard gallery app is that it makes excellent use of the larger screen real estate that a 7- or 10-inch tablet can afford. It accomplishes this with excellent navigation and recently added multi-touch features.
In the words of the developer:
I am a photographer and know a little bit of programming from high school days. I love the Xoom tablet and first thing I thought of using it for was for my photography portfolio. I soon realized that the built-in gallery is way overkill for something like a portfolio which gave me an idea to develop a simple app suited to showcase art or photography portfolios.
Before I share the app, let me just say that when I say I know very little about programming, I mean really very little. This app is fully functional on my Xoom but that is the only device I have been able to test it for. Theoretically, it should work with any Honeycomb tablet (maybe even some Gingerbread ones) but everything has been configured for the Xoom. With that said, below is a link
to the latest version of the app.
As an amateur photographer myself, this application seems very useful. Those wishing to get started should head over to the application thread.

Comparisons aside, we've all experienced the occasional application or system crash on our Android devices. In fact, it seems as if the more we tinker, the more these things occur. In order to help our developers more efficiently find a solution, we often provide them with system-generated log files.
Previously, we covered a way of generating log files without connecting to a computer. This made things easier by allowing us to take system logs anywhere. Now thanks to work by XDA Recognized Developer solarnz (of Xoom fame), we have a tablet-optimized way to do so.
Designed from the ground-up to be optimized for Android 3.0 or greater, Lumberjack cuts the pain out of generating logs. (Yes, I know—bad pun.) While the application works on any device rocking Honeycomb or newer—phones included—it truly shines on the large screens of tablets.
In the words of the developer:
Lumberjack is a useful application for application developers, Android custom rom developers and users alike.
This will allow you to see the live logs on your device, but also gives you the option to export the files to your favourite application such as Gmail or Dropbox.
Unlike similar applications, this was designed with Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich tablets and phones in mind.
Logs this application displays & exports:
* Logcat (main & system)
* Events Logcat
* Radio Logcat
* Dmesg
* Last_kmsg
* /system contents
* Loaded modules
* Mounted filesystems
Note: this application is for Honecomb and Ice Cream Sandwich devices ONLY.
As they say, "Logcat or GTFO." Those with devices rocking Android 3.0 or greater can get their hands on Lumberjack by proceeding to the application thread.

Aside from contributing to the ubiquity of social networking, one of the main functions of the modern PDA-type device is to help us remember things that we would otherwise forget. That's why note taking apps are both incredibly important and remarkably abundant on every mobile OS.
With apps like Color Note and Evernote, you would think that Android has already reached market saturation in the note-taking realm. Despite this, two free member-created apps released today hope to forge their place on our Android phone or tablet.
The first entry is HoloNotes by XDA forum member JR. As its name implies, this app makes excellent use of the new Holo UI paradigm first seen in Android 3.0 Honeycomb. Unfortunately for those still on older OS revisions, it requires Android 3.2 or newer.
While HoloNotes doesn't offer any additional core functionality compared to the average note taking app, it gives a much needed UI face lift to the whole note taking process. Considering the recent unveiling of the Android Design website, well designed apps like HoloNotes are certainly appreciated.
Now if you're looking to change the way you take notes entirely, AutoNotes by XDA forum member houzuoguo may be more up your alley. Instead of simply allowing users to enter in notes manually, AutoNotes does as its name implies and automatically takes notes based on the contents of your screen.
All you have to do is set up keywords to look for, and AutoNotes takes care of the rest. If this isn't the Tasker of note taking, I don't know what is. Unfortunately, the UI isn't quite as polished as the previously mentioned HoloNotes, but AutoNotes is certainly much more powerful.
Interested in giving either app a shot? Those drawn to the sleek looks of HoloNotes can quench their stylish thirst by visiting the application thread. Users who would prefer the automated convenience of the latter creation should instead visit the AutoNotes release thread.

Just a couple of days ago, we wrote about how CyanogenMod 9 had triumphantly been kanged for the Motorola Xoom tablet. However in writing this, we largely (and unintentionally) ignored some of the most important developers and releases for Google's reference tablet.
Anyone following the Xoom development timeline has surely noticed that the Team EOS, the evolution of TiamatXOOM, has racked up more than a few "firsts." From the first true custom ROM to the first the first 4G-enabled release of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, EOS is a staple of the Xoom development community. In fact, although the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the WiFi-only Wingray has already started making its way to select WiFi-only devices, the 4G-enabled Stingray's update release schedule is still unclear.
So who are they, and why do they do what they do? Simple. The EOS team—comprised of XDA forum members Solarnz, Nusince, Bigrushdog, GPstar, kcrudup, phokus, and MADIndustries—feels that although the Xoom is a "very capable hardware platform," Motorola's tablet "has been plagued from day one by short sighted decisions made in an attempt to rush to market a much needed answer to a competitors growing titan." The result? The Xoom has become the "red-headed stepchild of the Android development community." Naturally, it has been the goal of EOS to help alleviate this—and this, they have achieved.
Through laborious efforts centered around AOSP-based builds of Ice Cream Sandwich, their offerings have "received a number of enhancements and modifications, based primarily around usability and function. It is also the only ICS build currently available that fully supports LTE data services thanks in no small part to the efforts of Bigrushdog. Features are being added every day as we push ahead towards a release candidate and our first official EOS release."
Those looking to sample some of the most recent EOS offerings should continue on to the Wingray and Stingray ICS nightly threads.
[Thanks to Solarnz and Nusince for all of their help in putting this together!]

When the HTC Flyer and EVO View 4G were announced at Mobile World Congress 2011, many were disappointed to discover that not only would the pair of devices feature single-core processors, but that they would also ship with Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Despite these issues, the Flyer and EVO View 4G ultimately gained popularity due to their build quality, form factor, top notch aesthetics, and innovative HTC Scribe stylus.
Seven long months after launch, and more than a few months past schedule, HTC finally updated the pair of tablets to Android 3.2 Honeycomb in the beginning of last month. Unfortunately for those wishing for an unadulterated Honeycomb experience, the user experience was spattered with HTC SenseUI. Thankfully, we have developers at XDA who are up for just about any task—including cleaning up Sense bloat!
Working with the HTC Flyer variant, XDA forum member Westfire released an early and well-received Honeycomb ROM derived first from the leaked update and later from the official OTA. Westfire's release eventually served as a base for forum member Gumby63's highly regarded DeSensified Honeycomb ROM. As its name implies, the DeSensified ROM removes much of HTC's additions from the mix, giving users a nearly authentic Honeycomb experience. In order to not leave EVO View 4G owners in the cold, forum member graffixnyc then ported Gumby63's DeSensified ROM as part of his DeSensed View ROM.
Looking to get some desensitized Honeycomb action on your devices? If so, continue on to the Flyer or EVO View 4G ROM threads. If you simply want to see what other ROMs are available for the devices, head over to the Flyer and EVO View 4G development forums.

Just as HTC promised last month, the Android 3.2 Honeycomb update is now rolling out to the WiFi-only version of the HTC Flyer, after the GSM version got it in early December and the EVO View 4G two weeks ago. So, if you didn't already flash a custom ROM, you now officially enjoy all the Honeycomb goodness.
Head over to the forum thread to share your experience with the update.

It takes a hefty title to sum up 400 pages of solid, well-structured instructional text. Cyber Crime Investigations – Bridging the Gaps Between Security Professionals, Law Enforcement, and Prosecutors by Anthony Reyes et al. fits the bill.
The book's ten chapters cover topics ranging from cybercrime prevention to incident response, while other sections tackle legal issues such as the interception of WiFi (wireless) transmissions. Several are, of course, devoted to investigations and feature good discussions on how business can help law enforcement and vice versa. While the authors mostly understand the differences between the two, occasionally authors forget that businesses are not an adjunct of the justice system and that the police are not interested with doing only what's good for the stockholder.
There are two appendices, one a case study that is heavily influenced by its two authors' employer. It's interesting, but it has a different tone than the rest of the book and could easily have been left out.
The other appendix, titled "Legal Principles for Information Security Evaluations," which is written by Bryan Cunningham, is jam-packed with good information. It's the book's standout piece.
There are some minor distractions. The style of the publication is such that there are a lot of bolded headlines, sidebar boxes, designs, and shading, which are mildly annoying. Each chapter ends with a number of "FAQs," only some of which are actually useful. In addition, purchase of the book endows membership in syngress.com, where readers can send their own questions to the authors.
Lead author Anthony Reyes is a former New York City Police Department detective with a background in cybercrime. Several of his coauthors have similar backgrounds that consist of both law enforcement and legal experiences. However, contributors have definite "techie" and general business expertise as well.
Each of the contributors brings a different style to this collaborative effort, and the noticeable juxtapositions in style enhance the book's readability.
This work purports to cover a wide range of cybercrime issues, and it generally achieves that objective. It might not answer all of your cybercrime questions, but you'll be better off with this book than without it.
The book, published by Syngress Publishing, is available from www.syngress.com for $59.95.

Media Release
Minister for the Environment and Heritage
Dr David Kemp
23 May 2003
The Minister for the Environment and Heritage, Dr David Kemp, today announced environment ministers have agreed in principle to pursue nationally coordinated mandatory measures on plastic shopping bags at their July meeting.
Dr Kemp said ministers meeting at the Environment Protection and Heritage Council in Melbourne today rejected a draft industry Code of Practice for the Management of Plastic Retail Carry Bags because it failed to address targets on usage set last December.
Environment ministers had challenged retailers to meet 50% recycling and reduction targets for lightweight plastic bags by the end of 2004. Meeting these targets would take about 4.5 billion bags out of circulation.
"Australians currently use more than 6.9 billion plastic bags annually and litter of plastic bags pose a significant environmental problem that must be addressed. We aim to reduce plastic bag litter by 75% by the end of next year," Dr Kemp said.
"To achieve this, we need a strong commitment from industry and the community to substantially reduce the number of bags used and ensure the bags handed out at the point of sale do not end up polluting our parks and waterways."
Dr Kemp said he was disappointed the draft Code from the retailers had thus far failed to address the problem of usage.
"I will write to the chief executive officers of major retailers asking them to personally address the challenges posed by all of the targets for plastic shopping bags," he said. (letter attached).
Meanwhile, EPHC ministers deferred consideration of proposals to expand Container Deposit Legislation (CDL) across Australia until after the National Packaging Covenant expires in August 2004.
"Ministers have reaffirmed their commitment to the Covenant as the main national mechanism for managing packaging waste and will wait until after it has been evaluated before considering alternative packaging waste proposals," Dr Kemp said.

Mr Russell Zimmerman
Australian Retailers Association
Level 1, 20 York Street
Dear Mr Zimmerman
I am writing as Chair of the Environment Protection and Heritage Council (EPHC) to advise you of EPHC's views on the draft Retail Industry National Code of Practice for the Management of Retail Carry Bag Litter.
I should firstly confirm our understanding that time constraints prevented the Australian Retailers Association from obtaining final clearance on the draft Code by the National Packaging Covenant Council, but that your Association has provided the draft code to EPHC in the belief that it addresses the concerns expressed by the Covenant Council on an earlier draft.
As you are aware, on 23 December 2002 Ministers challenged retailers to include the following targets in a Code of Practice:
We certainly recognise that retailers should not have to carry burden of reducing plastic bags alone. To this end Ministers also challenged governments, industry and the Australian community to work towards an aspirational goal of reducing the amount of plastic bag litter by 75% by the end of 2004. I should emphasise that this latter goal is separate to the targets EPHC set before retailers. In identifying the targets for the Code, Ministers expected that retailers would make significant progress in meeting them this year. The current draft Code, while recognising the desire to have an improved recycling rate and reasonable coverage of the retail sector, does not in our view achieve this.
Ministers challenged retailers with targets that were arrived at with due consideration of the public pressure to change consumption patterns, an understanding of how many bags are used and their potential contribution to litter. The target to reduce the number of HDPE plastic bags used by 50% was set in light of reports that the Ireland had significantly reduced litter by reducing bag use by 90%. Given our first preference to address the plastic bags issues on a voluntary basis, the outcomes of any voluntary mechanism needs to, at the least, approach a comparison in effectiveness to the mandatory Irish scheme.
In practice this would mean reducing the number of bags used by each consumer by half, an outcome Ministers reasoned would be achievable both by retailers and consumers, given appropriate voluntary measures supported by education. While EPHC realised that there would be significant challenges involved in meeting this target, Ministers hoped that industry would demonstrate its commitment to this issue by stepping up to the mark and addressing the full range of issues on a co-operative basis.
Having considered the draft Code, Ministers express concern that:
Council will meet in July to pursue nationally coordinated mandatory measures in relation to plastic bags. EPHC is still prepared to consider at that meeting any substantive proposals, which convincingly address the targets set by Ministers in December 2002. Should retailers wish to do so such proposals need to reach me by 27 June 2003. I would expect that any such proposals would have been discussed with and preferably supported by the National Packaging Covenant Council. I have copied this letter to the Chief Executive Officers of Coles Myer and Woolworths and to the Chair of the National Packaging Covenant Council.
Given the significant public interest in this topic you will note that we have outlined the key elements of our response in the EPHC communiqué.
Yours sincerely
cc. Mr Rob Joy, Chair of the National Packaging Covenant Council

Colchester MP Sir Bob Russell has urged Foreign Secretary Mr William Hague MP to contact an American-based Jewish group in the hope that they may be able to act as the catalyst to bring peace in the Middle East and stop the bloody confrontation between Israel and Palestinians.
He told the House of Commons this afternoon: "Noting that the International Community has failed the Palestinian people for the past 64 years, will the Foreign Secretary contact the Jewish Voice of Peace, based in Oakland, California?
"Perhaps their programme could provide a catalyst for a peaceful future for Israel and Palestine."
Responding, Mr Hague he would consider the point which Sir Bob had made.
The Jewish Voice for Peace has brought together people of different faiths - Jews, Christians and Muslims - together with human rights activists to call on President Obama not to assist Israel while that country "engages in a consistent pattern of human rights violations."
Liberal Democrat Sir Bob has already signed the Jewish Voice for Peace open letter to President Obama ahead of his inauguration for a second four-year term as President of the United States.
The open letter to President Obama can be found here: http://www.obamaletter.org/

My pet rat (Sofie) is absolutely adorible. This web site has helped me be more prepared to handle and care for Sofie. You might ask your self if a rat is a good pet for you or a loved one, well it is. He/she will cuddle you when sad or derived. Also will let you just have fun. Sofie to me is valient, because I have three cats and one dog in the house and now she is one of the gang. If you have a pet rat good but if you don't, get one and see how fun and easy it is.
Sincerily, Cody and Sofie

Rats are wonderful pets, but you should ALWAYS keep more than one as they are very sociable animals and love each others company!!!
They are very intelligent and interactive, they should not be kept on wood shavings, as it releases harmful phenols which can cause respiratory diseases and even cancer.
Most shop bought rat food is not very healthy, as often it has too much seed in it, which is too high in fat and protein for them, you can look on rat sites on the internet for homemade mixes, which are a lot healthier!
Rats are wonderful pets!!

my son got 2 1 yr old pet rats for his 13th birthday a couple of days ago and he is absolutely in love with the little guys. my son says he loves them more then our cat because they are more loving and the rats loved to be held. (dont worry about the cat....the rats scare the cat so our kitty stays far away.)

I have 3 rats. I have had more in the past but they have died. Rats i find are the best pets anyone can have. One of my rats is a dumbo eared rex rat. And she russian blue. She's really cute if you think about it. But my other two are just as cute. I find that my rats are very healthy and are not very picky. They will eat anything thing. But i find that different seeds are their favourite. For their treats they enjoy either fruit, yogurt pieces and little pieces of dog treats. Rats pretty much eat anything. And if u think about it, rats in the wild eat anything and they live a healthy life. So even though store bought rats are not the same kind of rat from the wild. They are still pretty much the same. Except they don't bite like wild ones. So as long as u don't give them chocolate or candy. I find that my rats live a good healthy life.

Rats are dogs in a smaller package! If anyone out there has their kid wanting a dog, but it's too expensive or you don't have time or space for it, rats would be the perfect replacement! They are absolutly affordable(I spent $150 canadian for my three), they take up very little room, and they don't need very much attention as long as they have another rat to acompany them. They are incredibly intellegent and can even learn tricks! They can intertain children for hours! They make great first pets too, seeing as how they are easy to handle and take care of. They really are the perfect pet!

I first got a rat for my birthday and I named her Zoey but I ended up having to take her back cuz she was agressive..... I got a new rat, her name is Aruba but we call her Rubi(Ruby). She is the best! every time I make a kissy noise she comes out of her house and comes to the cage door. she knows i am going to give her a treat and take her out. she is a white rat with a light brown hood and a light brown spot on her back. she is so cute! I love her so much! Even though rats have a bad reputation with many people, which is because they think of sewer rats, is not a good enough reason not to like them. when i bought Rubi I didn't know she was preagnent.... they didn't tell me and on sunday she had still babies... she is okay now.
I love you Rubi and I miss you Babee( my old pet hamster)

From experience, rats need no more than 15-20% protein in their diets or their skin will scab (called protein itch). Main foods should be lab blocks (pellets) and veggies, fruits, and some special treats like yogurt, crackers, and cereal. Mixed seed foods are not good, so stick to pellets. Dog and cat food/treats have too much salt for a rats' system, so sticking to rat food is better. Any table food you wouldn't eat shouldn't be fed to your rat. Also, rats have extremely sensitive respiratory tracts, so any ammonia buildup in the cage or extreme temperature changes may make them sick. Rats are very prone to tumors, and checking your rat regularly for unusual lumps is a must! Finding tumors early may save your rat from a lot of discomfort and even death. My rats are extremely healthy and happy because their diets are balanced, they have plenty of toys and wood chews, and they spend quality time out of their cages. Oh, and they LOVE bird toys and anything banana flavored!

I have a pet rat named Big Bunny, and he is the sweetest thing! He knows his name and will readily come when I call him. He loves to play tag, and "Gotcha!" He is very cuddly and will tug on my pant leg when I am busy at my desk! Big Bunny is the BEST!!!

This is my second post, and I still have Riddy Rat and she's gotten quite large. When it comes to cage linging, reycled paper product is far safer than pine shavings, as they have been associated with all manner of lung maladies in rats. Ample water is important, and as far as staple ratfood goes, you may have difficulty finding one. Fret not, as you can cheaply make one with "Ferret Treat" (I use two, Peanut butter flavor and fruit/ veggie with yogurt), small animal food (dehydrated vegetable and seed mix with pellets, marketed for guinea pigs and rabbits), guinea pig yogurt drops, shelled sunflower seeds, and a small amount of cheap kitten chow. She loves it, and it addresses her need for protein, fat, and carbohydrates. I still supplement her diet with fresh things--strawberries and blueberries, fresh cauliflower, and carrots. Riddy enjoys meat, and rats have a predatory streak in the wild. Feeding them chicken and allowing them to gnaw chicken bones won't spoil their lovely personalities or make them more aggressive. An exercise ball fastened so that it is stationary makes a fantastic retreat for your rat inside their cage or aquarium. Ensure that the lid on their home allows ample air flow--condensation build up on aquarium walls is an indicator that you have poor airflow concerns.

Rihanna moves out of LA home
Rihanna has moved out of her LA home after a trespasser was arrested there last week for third time in recent months.
Rihanna has moved out of her Pacific Palisades home in Los Angeles.
The 'Stay' hitmaker, who is currently on her 'Diamonds' world tour, hired removal men to take all of her stuff out of the property on Tuesday (08.10.13) after a trespasser was arrested there last week for third time in recent months.
A source close to the 25-year-old star told gossip website TMZ.com that she hasn't been at the house since August but plans to rent another house in L.A. even though she will be spending most of her down time in New York.
A man was caught red-handed by the singer's security team as he attempted to scale the wall surrounding her plush mansion at 11am on Friday morning (04.10.13).
The would-be home invader fled the scene, but police caught up with him a mile away from the $12 million property.
A group of burglars also tried to break into Rihanna's home late last month - only to be thwarted by the burglar alarm, which was set off when they threw a chair through a sliding glass door.
In June, a man was caught by her security team climbing onto her roof, while back in February a wannabe thief accidentally broke into her neighbour's house instead of hers.
