Metal design? Check. Expandable storage? Check. All the most powerful internals? Check.
On paper, the HTC One M9 is one beast of a phone.
Though given that this is HTC's fourth One phone, that name is starting to feel a bit like a misnomer. Even so, the HTC One M9 is a solid competitor in the high-end smartphone realm as it packs nearly everything you could want into a gorgeous package with minimal software tweaks.
Read on to the end to see how you could win your very own HTC One M9.
- Price: $649 off-contract; $199 with 2-year contract at AT&T, Verizon, or Sprint; free with 2-year contract and good credit at T-Mobile
- Size: 44.6mm x 69.7mm x 9.61 mm (5.69in x 2.74in x 0.38in)
- Weight: 157g (5.5oz)
- Processor: 64-bit octo-core Snapdragon 810
- Storage: 32GB
- Cameras: 20MP rear-facing, 4MP front-facing Ultrapixel
- Screen: 5in, 1080p IPS LCD
- Battery: 2840 mAh
- Operating System: Android Lollipop 5.0.2
- Extras: Dual front-facing Boomsound speakers, FM Radio, 1 year of "Uh-Oh" Protection
If you've ever seen an HTC One M8 or M7, you won't be surprised much by the M9. HTC has once again gone with a full-metal body that's thick in the center and gets thinner on the sides, allowing it to curve ergonomically and fit well in your hand.
The HTC logo still sits at the bottom of the front on those big bezels, accompanied by the front-facing Boomsound speakers. The power button and and volume buttons are both on the right side. Since they're all about equal-sized buttons (no volume rocker here), it's very easy to get them mixed up when just feeling around your phone.
I often tried locking or unlocking the One by pressing the volume down button, since it's positioned about where the power button is on most other Android devices. The actual power button sits below it, and it feels just slightly too low — I had to readjust my grip a bit each time to press it. The power button is textured slightly differently to the volume buttons, but they're still too similar.
On the right side of the device, you'll also find a little pop-out slot for the nanoSIM card. HTC's user manual warns that you need to have a nanoSIM to use this device — not simply a cut down microSIM — because the cards themselves are physically thinner in addition to being smaller in width and length.
The left side of the phone is nearly bare, aside from a pop-out slot for the microSD card, which can support up to 2TB of storage. That's a ridiculous amount of expandable storage, but you'll need to carry around the small metal tool for popping out the microSD card from the slot if you plan on changing it frequently. That's the sacrifice that had to be made for such a beautiful metal design.
Up top, you'll find a long IR blaster for changing the channel on your TV, and along the bottom, you'll find a microUSB charging port and the headphone jack. The top grill underneath the speaker is also home to a small LED that will blink yellow every 3 seconds when you have a notification, and glow orangeish red when charging.
The body of the phone itself doesn't seem completely unibody this time around, as it is distinctly a two-tone phone. My Gunmetal Grey version had a dark grey back and a lighter grey front, but the other Silver/Gold version has a gold front and silver back. It's kind of a unique design element that certainly helps the M9 stand out while still looking great.
Regardless, it's certainly a sturdy and comfortable phone to hold, even if at 157g heavy and 9.61mm thick, it's a bit heavier and thicker than its closest competitors like the 129g/6.8mm iPhone 6 or the 132g/6.9mm Samsung Galaxy S6.
You also get a nice pair of free in-ear headphones in the box that are black with red tips. They're not the most high-end of headphones, but they're certainly better than the cheap ones you'd buy a drug store. I really enjoyed using them, and the built-in audio options for the headphones (which we'll discuss later) made them even better.
5 inch panels seem to be the norm on smartphones nowadays, and while some manufacturers have chosen to go with 2K displays, others have decided to stick with 1080p, since 2K screens use more power and aren't noticeably much better. The M9 falls into the 1080p group.
The IPS display means that it has great viewing angles, and the very fact that it's an LCD rather than an AMOLED makes it much easier to see in direct sunlight than competing phones like the Galaxy S6. However, LCDs do look less contrasted and a bit more washed out than AMOLED displays.
Speakers and Audio
"Dual front-facing Boomsound speakers? Those must be loud!"
Well, not exactly. While they certainly put out better quality audio than other smartphone — like the Galaxy S6, ZTE Blade S6 (our review ZTE Blade S6 Review and Competition ZTE Blade S6 Review and Competition Read More ), or OnePlus One — they're actually noticeably quieter.
Whenever audio is playing, you get a persistent notification that tells you that the Dolby Audio is working in the background to improve the audio quality, whether it's out of the headphones or the speakers. If listening via the speakers, you can choose "Theater Mode" or "Music Mode". Theater sounds more immersive and surround, while Music sounds a bit louder and more direct to me.
With headphones in, you can choose the kind of headphones that you're using and it will tweak the audio slightly. Aside from the annoying persistent notification, I enjoyed this feature since it brought along better audio quality.
Having ditched their back-facing Ultrapixel camera, the One M9 now has a sapphire-coated 20MP rear shooter that takes very good photos. The camera interface itself has been tweaked quite a bit, but it still looks nice and modern. You swipe across the screen to switch between modes that include Camera, Selfie, Panorama, and Bokeh, and there's a settings menu for adjusting advanced settings like the ISO, exposure, and white balance.
The bokeh effect allows for some cool burring of the background, and it did a relatively good job of differentiating the foreground from the background in my testing. The above photo was taken indoors on an overcast day with sunlight streaming in from the right.
The front-facing camera, while only 4MP, is considered an Ultrapixel camera, meaning it uses larger pixels to capture more information than a typical 4MP camera. Theoretically, this should lead to better selfies.
Generally, I thought the front-facing camera did a great job. It has a Live Makeup setting that you can adjust to make yourself look like your skin is a bit smoother than it really is — though if you crank it up all the way, you'll look like a scary porcelain doll.
The front-facing camera is also capable of shooting 1080p video and has other features like Auto Selfie and Voice-activated Selfie that are nice features to have.
HTC's Sense 7.0 is greatly dialed back from their past Android skins Android Skins Explained: How Do Hardware Makers Change Stock Android? Android Skins Explained: How Do Hardware Makers Change Stock Android? Hardware makers like to take Android and morph it into something that is entirely their own, but is this a good or a bad thing? Take a look and compare these different Android skins. Read More to the point where I actually like this one — for the most part. Let's start with the homescreen.
The homescreen by default has a large clock/weather widget at the top and a widget at the bottom that changes between Out, Home, and Work depending on your location. You can swipe to the left to access Blinkfeed, or swipe right to see more pages.
Blinkfeed is a collection of news sources and social media tailored towards you. You can choose to sign in with Facebook, Twitter, Google+, or Tumblr — or you could just keep it narrowed down to whatever news sources you like to follow. The experience is extremely fluid and allows for quick switching between Blinkfeed and your other apps.
Still, if you don't like Blinkfeed or the general homecreen appearance, you could always try out a third-party launcher Which Android Launcher Should You Use? We Compare the Best! Which Android Launcher Should You Use? We Compare the Best! These awesome launchers will have your Android device feeling brand new. Read More .
The notification shade is also a bit changed from stock Android, as shown below.
Pulling down from the top once shows your notifications (left) and pulling down again shows your Quick Settings (right). Tapping on the time/date at the top toggles between these two views, which is unusual since it usually takes you to the Clock or Calendar app in stock Android.
The Quick Settings have multiple options besides just toggle. The brightness has multiple modes, and any setting with the three dot icon can be tapped to take you to more advanced settings. The gear at the very top will take you to the system settings, and the notepad and pencil will allow you to edit which settings appear there.
If you venture on over to the full settings menu, you'll see it looks pretty classically HTC with lighter colors and squarer switches.
Here, you're able to change and personalize all sorts of things about your One M9. You can edit the navigation bar (see how mine has a screen-off button) or play around with HTC's new theming app.
The themes are actually pretty cool, and they can change everything from the style of the homescreen widget to your notification sounds to the icons in your navigation bar. Have a look at a couple different themes I tried out:
Now those are some cute icons. You're bound to find a theme you like buried somewhere in the relatively extensive theme store.
The recent apps views has also been tweaked, but thankfully HTC gives you the option of switching it back to a more standard look if you so desire. See HTC's multitasking view below (left) and the alternate view (right):
This one is going to come down to personal preference, but it is nice to see HTC giving the user some options here.
When on a phone call, everything looks pretty clean and modern. The only interface weirdness I ran into was the semi-green notification bar that appears when you multitask talking on the phone with someone.
I've seen much more elegant ways of changing the notification bar on other versions of Android, and this one just looks it was left over from an older version and they forgot to update it.
Adjusting your volume is very similar to stock 5.0 Android — there are None, Priority, and All settings for notifications — but there is one big difference: HTC added a true silent mode. As in, your phone can be completely on silent but still show LED notifications and still have alarms go off. This feature was taken away in stock Android 5.0 and left many people furious.
And finally, HTC has added quite a few "Motion Launch" gestures to give you quicker access to certain aspects of your phone. I found these to be too convoluted to be useful, but maybe you'd appreciate the ability to open your camera by holding the volume button and lifting it horizontally.
The only feature here I really liked and used regularly was the double-tap-to-wake, which has become a staple of Android phones as of recently. However, HTC's implementation is subpar because it requires you to be holding the phone vertically — double-tapping the screen while it's lying on a table will more than likely not work, which is frustrating.
There's also no double-tap-to-sleep either, so if you want to turn it off without pressing the power button, I suggest adding a screen-off button to your navigation bar.
Preloaded apps
The unlocked M9 comes with a few preloaded apps, but you're likely to get many more if you buy it from a carrier since carriers love to heap useless apps (known as bloatware, which you can sometimes get rid of What You Need to Know About Removing Android Bloatware What You Need to Know About Removing Android Bloatware Lots of phones come with annoying pre-installed software, but you can remove it. Here's how. Read More ) onto their devices.
If you snag one unlocked, though, you'll find it comes with: Peel Smart Remote, HTC Backup, a Photo Editor, HTC Print Studio, HTC Dot View, Zoe, Scribble, Car, Kids Mode, and POLARIS Office 5.
POLARIS is a nice addition so that you can open Word documents on your phone. Scribble is a creative note-taking app that you may or may not enjoy (I prefer Google Keep 4 Google Keep Tips And Tricks For Better Notes, Lists And To-Dos 4 Google Keep Tips And Tricks For Better Notes, Lists And To-Dos Read More ). Zoe is HTC's cute little video app that creates small montages of your photos and videos; it's fun to play around with for a bit, but not particularly amazing.
IR blasters on smartphones have been around for a while, and the Peel Smart Remote app takes advantage of that to allow you to control your TV (or really any TV you pass by) with your phone.
HTC Dot View is only useful if you have one of the Dot View cases, and Print Studio is only useful if you have a compatible printer setup. HTC Backup and the Photo Editor are nice to have, though. The Photo Editor has some useful quick editing tools and the Backup can store your phone's settings in case something happens to it.
The Car app is useful for when you're driving because it gives you a simplified interface with easy access to things like Google Maps and voice controls — it's definitely a worthy dashboard car mode app The 5 Best Dashboard Car Mode Apps For Android Compared The 5 Best Dashboard Car Mode Apps For Android Compared Want a safe way to use your Android smartphone while driving? These car mode apps make it easy. Read More .
Unfortunately, the Kids Mode doesn't seem quite ready yet. Trying to open it only presents you with a toast notification telling you that an update will be coming soon. In the future, hopefully we'll see an update that allows for the phone to be locked down into a specific kid-friendly app.
I rarely experienced any lag at all on this device. No matter what I threw at it — games, YouTube, multitasking, phone calls — it handled it all with ease. The Snapdragon 810 powering this phone really is a beast.
That said, it definitely got hot after just a few minutes of use doing something intensive like streaming YouTube or scrolling through an image-heavy Tumblr feed. The phone got uncomfortably hot to the point where I just had to put it down and give it a break.
Still, the times when it got that hot were rare, and overall, you won't have to worry about performance issues here.
Battery Life
Flagship lines have never had best-of-class batteries — for that, you had to go to a specialized phone like the BLU Studio Energy (our review BLU Studio Energy Review and Giveaway BLU Studio Energy Review and Giveaway For only $150, the BLU Studio Energy packs a massive 5,000mAH battery that lasts for days - but is it more than just a huge battery? Read More ). The One M9 certainly doesn't get to breakthrough levels of battery life like the BLU, but it's much better than average.
With light to medium usage, it would make it to the end of the day with 50% or more battery left. That's impressive considering most other phones drop down to 20% or 30% by that time even if they're not being used much. I would send messages on Facebook Messenger and Google a few questions, but nothing super intense.
With heavier usage I could definitely bring it down to 15% by the end of the day, but at that point I was really trying to kill the battery by scrolling through Tumblr a lot in my spare time and just generally using the phone more.
The annoying thing about the battery interface in HTC's Sense, however, is that you can't view your screen-on time, so I couldn't tell you exactly how much screen-on time I was getting. If I had to guess, though, I'd say 4-5 hours of average screen-on time per day, which is really quite good.
HTC Uh-Oh Protection
One cool perk that comes free with the One M9 that's new to me is the HTC Uh-Oh Protection. If you sign up for it (which can be done via Facebook, Google+, or email), they'll replace your phone if it dies within the first year — even from a cracked screen or water damage!
Given the amount of people I see every day who live with cracked smartphone screens, and the amount of horror stories I've heard of people dropping their phones in toilets or puddles, this should really be a great service for many.
If you're prone to damaging phones, then the Uh-Oh Protection might just be a major deciding factor for you.
Should You Buy It?
Though it can be much cheaper to buy unlocked smartphones Never Buy a Phone From Your Carrier! Buy Unlocked Phones and Save Hundreds Never Buy a Phone From Your Carrier! Buy Unlocked Phones and Save Hundreds Unlocked phones can cost a fortune, but the savings more than make up for it. You can save thousands by not signing a contract. We've got six phones that come contract free! Read More , many people still stay in 2-year contract agreements for one reason or another. If you're one of those people, the HTC One M9 is a solid choice for your next smartphone. It's refined, sturdy, fast, and it has good battery life.
You might want to look elsewhere for the loudest speakers on the market or a cheaper off-contract phone (like the OnePlus One Top Six Best Features Of The OnePlus One -- And One Drawback Top Six Best Features Of The OnePlus One -- And One Drawback I've been living with the OnePlus One for a few weeks now, and it's amazing, but it's not perfect.

Buy it! The HTC One M9 is an all-around solid smartphone that you will definitely be satisfied with.

Entered, but you might want to check some issues with the entry process.: 1. Pinterest would not let me pin the picture, as their error said it might lead to spam. 2. Almost all the Google+ entries in the Gleam widget makes the page reset back to the top of the page "Home" position when the entry is made. It doesn't happen with other entries, like Twitter, Facebook, etc. It's a bit annoying. I'm experiencing these problems on the latest version of Chrome on a Win 7 SP-1 32-bit PC.
I wish i could have this HTC i had the m8 but got robbed and now i dont have a phone for more than a year because i dont have the money... a great phone htc is still rocking

I've always said that the HTC One is the best phone on the market. This proves it.

Incredible Giveaway ! I wish I could have WIN this Awesome flagship Smartphone for my Mom :)
Awesome flagship device really loved it...
Cool looking phone - Would love one !
It looks like a great phone to have!
Nice phone
For my wife if I win
Even if it does dishes, walks the dog and keeps you warm at night, no phone is worth $649. No phone. Come on, IT'S A PHONE!
Even $199 is too much for any phone, even this one. If consumers wouldn't pay these gouging prices, phones wouldn't cost $200!! (Besides, none of the contract carriers mentioned deserve anyone's business; had them all--will never return. Superior, more user friendly providers are readily available.) Same with the cell service fees; if everyone disconnected, prices would plummet.
One of best phones (it is about reception and call quality isn't it?) I ever had was an LG 3G that was stolen. It cost $69 and way out performed the eight phones purchased since , including two iPhones. (It must have been an manufacturing error because days after my purchase, it was discontinued.) No LG tried since has come close.
Cell phones should be treated as the disposable item that they really are. Use 'em and toss 'em.
Would you pay $699 for paper towels? Me either.
If any of the gouger companies cited wants my business, the phone had better be gratis (the original Ma Bell had that right) and the fee for unlimited use better be about half what they charge now for limited basic. External number blocking is an absolute must.
Additionally, it is unreasonable to charge 911 fees for a phone with no static address, situs, jurisdiction. ©2015
An Aside: Operator/owners should have the ability to turn off the GPS tracking and completely defeat the audio and camera when desired. Otherwise your cell is a spy machine for its carrier, the government (and numerous others too) and any hacker, foreign or domestic.
this is the one for me
As I live in South Africa it is going to be awhile before I could afford this and I need to replace my vary basic mobile,
Trying again to win something
I own an older version of HTC, it's durable and stable. Too bad it's too old and specification are low. Wish to WIN this great phone and own it again. Thank you. :)
Wow, what a nice fone, not a ton of CRAPWARE either, so sick of crapware.
Boy oh boy, do I want one of these! My Huawei H868C is about one of the most useless pieces of crap I've ever owned. Please, Android gods, let me win it!!!
Looks like a phone that does everything right! I would expect no less from an HTC flagship. Those front-facing speakers are hard to beat honestly, so I imagine HTC will be my go-to brand for any friend that asks me to find a high-end phone for them.
I still have my htc one x and use it as my daily driver, i hope i win this gem!
I would like to win this phone cause my phone has been acting up on me.
I have an older HTC One phone and love it,but it is getting worn out and I would love a newer phone with such great features
Trying again to win something please let me win this time
Id would like to win this and give to my husband.
Got it!!! thanks for the chance
Why can't I pin the picture in the giveaway? Blocks, saying spam?
Same for me.
wanna try anything new..
Single sim or double sim
Great Sweeps keep up the good work.
Hell of a phone here. Too bad everybody is flocking to the S6 and killing HTC's quarter. No doubt, their next flagship will try to reinvent the wheel and fail as a result. Some of us still love you, HTC, keep on trucking!
Only way of earning the HTC One M9 .. fingers crossed but sorry guys i just hope i win because this is actually my favorite phone.
Sounds like it would be the perfect replacement for my RazrM!
Wow nice review how i wish i could try htc m9 count me in giveaway :D
Great review, would love to dump my PadFone x for this one. I didn't see any mention if the screen was scratch resistant or gorilla glass.
This sounds like a nice upgrade from my current LG G2.
Great phone
Glad you guys have stopped referral entries in your giveaways :-)
Great Review Of Phone !! Simply Awesome... Wishing It would in my hand soon.. Thx For giveaway...
While other reviews say this isn't quite as nice as the M8, this would *certainly* be better than my crappy Huawei. :)
Stupendous and concise review Justin, hope to win the giveaway. Adieu!
Count me in. A great review makes this item well worth buying..... or winning.
Guy in Vic
Great review!! awesome phone..!! very big wish to win one for myself!! really need high end phone!! ty for the giveaway

This book is a handbook for SME business owners, many of whom currently either take unnecessary business risks with their IT solutions, or waste money on them. For a SME owner, money wasted is money not available to take home to the family.
This book is most definitely not yet another textbook for ITSM consultants like me. There are already far too many such textbooks available, the vast majority of which focus on cramming knowledge to pass exams to get a better job. None that I have seen have sufficient emphasis on the practical application of the knowledge in the real world, and even less consider how it could be used to benefit the SME business owners that form the backbone of the economy.
This book is intended to empower SME business owners with sufficient knowledge to ensure that their IT infrastructure, which includes their smartphone, PC, file storage, email, website etc. is fit for purpose. By the end of this book you will undoubtedly realise that there are things you could be doing better, and you'll find the advice in here on how to do it.
For the vast majority of businesses now, even very small ones, the reliance on IT is massive. Most tradesmen would be lost without their telephone & email, and lose money as a result, yet few give proper consideration to securing it. For the headmaster of a private school, where the data of "vulnerable persons" is held, the personal (and potentially career-defining) risks are substantial.
Towards the end there is a chapter on outsourcing, so even if you do nothing yourself it's worth knowing what those who do it for you should be doing if they are doing it properly. To this end many corporate CEOs may also benefit from this book, even if only to help them have better informed discussions with, and ask the right questions of, their IT director (yes, I have seen PLCs get the basics wrong too, and risk everything as a result).
This book is written in such a way that one chapter builds upon another, yet it is also suitable for dipping into as reference source because where necessary there are cross-references back to pre-requisite knowledge that was covered earlier.

With palms together,
Good Morning Everyone,
Yesterday was a wonderful day. Soku Shin entered the Order as a Novitiate Priest, the service and ceremony was extremely well attended (Soku Shin and I had to sit Zazen in the outer room!). We then went to lunch at the Village Inn and after that several folks came to the residence for coffee. The last person left at about 4ish and we were plain tuckered out. We watched a few episodes of "Saving Grace" on our DVD player (we do not have a TV) and sipped some wine.
Sometimes certain events just find a place in your heart, you know. Unsui and Shukke Tokudo are such moments. These are ceremonies where one takes lifelong vows, a very serious commitment. Soku Shin mentioned to me that speaking these vows aloud in a public ceremony was very moving. It is, indeed. To enter the priesthood is to leave service to the self and travel a path of service to the universe. All personal things must drop away. One must open one's heart and take residence in the suffering of others.
In the "Saving Grace" episode we watched there was a father who dowsed his child with gasoline and lit him on fire. The father was vilified by all but "Earl," the angel. My heart was with the child, with Grace, with all the officers enraged by the father's despicable act, but it was also with the father who was suffering greatly himself. I think we gain the ability to be in the suffering of others through our practice and experience of actually working with those in great pain. One without the other is both hollow and shallow.
The danger of working with the suffering of others without practice is that we will tend to build walls around our heart, begin to hate those who inflict suffering, and in this, attempt to protect ourselves. No one wants to think fathers are capable of such atrocities. In truth, however, we are all capable under the right circumstances. Our practice allows us to see this by penetrating the delusion of duality.
Being one with the universe has significant implications.
Be well.

Harvesting the rewards of incumbency, freshman Democratic Rep. Frank Kratovil has expanded his financial edge over potential 2010 Republican challenger Andy Harris, according to new campaign finance reports.
Their latest Federal Election Commission filings show Kratovil outraising Harris by a nearly 2-to-1 margin.The contest for Maryland's 1st Congressional District, which includes the Eastern Shore and parts of Baltimore, Anne Arundel and Harford counties, is one of the most closely watched in the nation. In 2008, Kratovil benefited from a strong Democratic trend, but the district leans Republican, making him among the most vulnerable House Democrats.
The fundraising edge that incumbents generally enjoy is particularly pronounced this year, with sweeping legislative battles in Washington affecting powerful interests.

San Francisco's future public transportation hub, The Transbay Transit Center, has been called the "most expensive bus terminal in the history of humankind" by a city supervisor.
Its astronomical costs match the developer's ambitions. Upon completion in 2017, the $2.3 billion Transbay Center will connect eight Bay Area counties through 11 transportation systems. It includes up to 100,000 square feet of retail space and a rooftop park.
It's unclear if the "most expensive" superlative is true. But it might be. For comparison, New York's Port Authority Bus Terminal — the largest and busiest bus terminal in the world — cost an estimated $24 million when it was constructed in the mid-20th century.
While construction on the Transbay Center is far from over, these stunning renderings provided by the developer's website give us a glimpse inside.

Crossword writers hid a string of clues in the last edition mocking Rebekah Brooks.
Crossword writers hid a string of clues in the last edition mocking News International chief Rebekah Brooks.
Former NOTW editor Brooks ordered two senior members of staff to check every line in the paper.
But proof readers failed to notice clues on the paper's quiz page including: "Brook", "sting" and "catastrophe".
In the cryptic crossword clues included "criminal enterprise", "mix in prison", "string of recordings" and "will fear new security measure".
Another clue read: "Woman stares wildly at calamity", with the answer being "disaster".

How to Delete Viewpoint Spyware
This process explains how to delete viewpoint spyware from your computer. Viewpoint spyware is malware that is installed (without your consent) automatically from AIM and AOL.
1Enable your settings to view hidden files (do this through the control panel).
2Go to My Computer.
3Open the C Drive.
4Double-click on Program Files.
5Look for a folder on top labeled AIM. Open the folder.
6Look for a folder, near the top, labeled 'Sysfiles'. Double-click it.
7Look for a swirling vortex icon labeled Viewpoint. Right click the icon and press delete.
8If you have AOL installed, return to the Program Files folder and find the folder labeled America Online 9.0 (or whatever version you have).
9Once you have opened the folder, look for a semi-transparent (hidden) folder labeled 'Jiti'. Open it.
10Again, simply right click on the Viewpoint icon and delete it.
11You aren't quite done yet. What you just did is eliminated the program that reinstalled Viewpoint every time you opened AIM or AOL. Now you must find and delete all of the other viewpoint files.
12You can find these files in three places:
13Open the Start Menu. Open the Control Panel. Click on Add/Remove Programs. Delete the Viewpoint media player and viewpoint toolbar if there is one.
14Open My Computer. Double-click on the C Drive. Find the folder labeled Program Files, and open it. Locate the Viewpoint folder, right click it and delete it.
15Run a search in your entire computer for Viewpoint. You can find the Search icon in the Start menu. This will help to find any other traces of Viewpoint as well as related cookies.

Current research (PhD)
Title: "Attitudes to sustainable intensification; a bottom up approach examining dairy farmers in Scotland and Ireland"
Dates: Sep 2012 - Aug 2016
Sustainable intensification is been championed as a future for agriculture to produce adequate amounts of foods for a growing population in a sustainable manner. However little work has been undertaken to research, examine and understand farmer's attitudes to the concept of sustainable intensification. While a number of top level reports such as the royal society reports and foresight report have been produced on sustainable intensification, this PhD research takes a bottom up approach to understand the attitudes of dairy farmers in Ayrshire in Scotland and Cork in Ireland. With Scotland targeting ambitious large increases in its dairy production levels by 2025 and Ireland intending to increase its production by 50% by 2020, the role of sustainable intensification in its attempts to meet these targets provides a basis to examine farmer's attitudes towards sustainable intensification.
Utilising qualitative and quantitative methods the research will examine the role of behaviours, attitudes and understanding towards sustainable intensification. It is aimed through a bottom up approach to interview and survey farmers and key stakeholders to gain an understanding of how sustainable intensification is understood and how it should be developed through policy.

It's a crazy life and you probably don't need to be reminded about it again. The thing is, we get stuck in the rut like hamsters on a wheel, and we can't see clearly enough to get creative about shifting our experiences. How do you integrate everything you want to do in life and have less stress? Here are some ideas that will help you loosen those wound-up strings, increase your love juice, help you relax better at any given time and radically improve your sex life. Sound too good to be true? Only you will be able to tell, once you give it a try.
What do you think when you hear the word Tantra? You probably think: "A lot of sex for a long period of time." You can go there if you want to but Western Tantric practices are more about taking the goals out of sexual activities, bringing in the practices of consciousness and relating consciously, sensual expression and the experience of spending time in the realms of oneness with, well, everything. Everything includes your lover, partner, your breath, their body, a "higher power" and even maybe the whole universe. In these times of global change, feeling more a part of everything around you helps to recharge and replenish You.
If you're putting off sensual and sexual activities because you're too tired or busy you are undermining your emotional connection with your lover and your self. The neurotransmitter oxytocin is the bonding hormone that is produced during birthing, breastfeeding, nipple stimulation, kissing, orgasm, eye gazing and touching. In fact, researchers are finding more actions to attribute the release of oxytocin to all the time. Whether it is a big expression or a relatively small dose, this is the stuff of emotional bonding, relaxation and lasting love. Five out of the seven things on the list above occur during sex!
Though an orgasm, or two, is wonderful, devoting 30 minutes to some softly structured intimacy practices can be the icing on the cake or the preliminaries to actually eating the cake! Whether sex is in the picture or not here are three practices that will keep you intimately connected and charged up while bringing you pure relaxation at the same time:
Eye Gazing is a simple practice that allows your lover to see into your soul through your soft, expressive eyes. Sit opposite each other and get comfortable. Cozy up by touching your knees together and maybe even holding hands. Relax. Drop into this experience. For five minutes sit and gaze. There is no need to smile or make your partner respond. Simply and softly gaze into their eyes. If you find this difficult at first keep with it. This will pass. You are creating bonding by expressing oxytocin and you are deepening your understanding and empathy for each other whether you realize it or not. (P.S.: You can even do this with your children! It will relax them and trust will build between you.) As babies we endlessly eye gazed with our mothers as they fed us. It is the foundation of learning to be a social, empathetic human being.
Breathing together synchronizes your bodies and drops you into relaxation. You can incorporate this practice while doing the eye gazing or do it separately. If you decide to do it as it's own exercise then try lying in the Spoon Position that is used in lovemaking. Either partner can be in front but the one in back places their arm over the other's body and can press their partner's heart region to hold them closer. This helps 'feel' the breath movement too. Breathe together: in through the nose and out through the mouth, as this method will lower your blood pressure too. Pace yourselves and find the speed that works for both of you. If you want to get fancy you can try alternate breathing also. Spending five to 10 minutes with this practice will relax, bond and synchronize your moods.
Sensual Touching simultaneously wakes up every nerve fiber on the skin and soothes and relaxes at the same time. Skin stimulation and human touch are as necessary for human survival as social interaction. When you focus on the touch you are giving, in this part of the practice, notice how your own fingertips feel. Begin by having the Receiver close their eyes. The Giver begins to gently caress the cheeks, eyelids, lips, neck, hair and ears of the Receiver. They can continue down the neck to the outer arms, forearms and hands by moving slowly and softly, all the while putting their attention on the quality of the touch. Giver, make sure that the Receiver is breathing and remind them to relax into the minute sensations as they take in every tingling nerve fiber reaction. This is a mindfulness practice on the part of both of you.
Oxytocin is being produced in both of you during this kind of experience. You are improving your emotional awareness, your trust for your partner and your memory for faces and social experiences. This means that new neural connections are being made in your brain when you eye gaze, breathe consciously together and touch with sensual consciousness. You are re-wiring your brain's reactions to your partner, something most long-term couples need a lot more of.
The stronger these neural connections are the more brain plasticity you'll have. Scientists are discovering that brain plasticity is one of the signs of anti-aging. Behavioral conditioning changes your brain and the more you can cultivate fluidity, by introducing new practices and adventures into your relationships, the more plasticity you'll have. It's up to you to choose if it's going to be negative conditioning or positive conditioning but in these days and ages it seems obvious that we are all in need of the healing power of love.

The main objectives of the charity are to preserve, protect, enhance and support Ben Nevis and Glen Nevis. We are a diverse group of people who work to encourage individuals, families and organisations to take ownership of their natural heritage and give their time to learn about and look after this beautiful place. We are working in partnership with Nevis Landscape Partnership to offer a wide range of volunteer and learning opportunities. Volunteer with Friends of Nevis We believe volunteering is for EVERYONE and aim to organise activities which appeal to a wide range of people and abilities. To learn more about why YOU should volunteer with Friends of Nevis download our volunteering handbook. With a landscape as beautiful as ours doesn't it make sense to look after it? Please note, volunteers under the age of eighteen MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Do not hesitate to get in touch with us if you wish to discuss this further. Register as a Volunteer Download the handbook Get Started Our Volunteers Mary I'm a volunteer Mary With regards to Glen Nevis our volunteering mainly extended to litter picking and over a number of years our efforts with the rest of the gang have given us the pleasure of driving and walking in the glen and seeing on most occasions virtually no discarded beer cans or McDonalds cartons. We still find many discarded doggy poo bags with the worst case recently being almost 50 in the space of four yards. Not the nicest things to collect. Connor I'm a volunteer Connor As a mountain guide working and living in the local area I spend a lot of time on Ben Nevis and climbing in Glen Nevis. I think it's really important to look after and preserve our natural playground. Volunteering with the Friends of Nevis is a great way to do this in areas that need the help. I really enjoy being involved in the North Face survey, it's a great project & I've learnt so much already! Dan I'm a volunteer Dan Volunteering for Friends of Nevis was excellent on all accounts! Being able to do something fun that has a direct positive impact on our landscape was awesome! Not to mention getting to hang out with folk all happy working towards the same cause alongside you. I thought it would be once in a blue moon I would get the chance to do something fun and different that has a positive and immediately noticeable impact on the environment but with Friends of Nevis it seems that there's endless opportunities to lend a hand. Morag I'm a volunteer Morag I volunteered for Friends of Nevis back in December and spent my birthday cutting trees in Glen Nevis to help the native species come back. It felt great making a positive difference to my local area, it was a fun day out in the snow, plus it meant that I didn't even feel bad eating loads of cake later! Nathan I'm a volunteer Nathan Volunteering for the Friends of Nevis is great! We were made to feel really appreciated for the work we did. Their volunteer projects are having a positive impact on Glen Nevis and I am proud to be part of the process! Join, Volunteer, Donate It's incredibly true that every little helps and we would be nowhere today without all of that extra help from YOU. No matter how big or small your contribution is it will ALWAYS make a difference to the work we carry out. Donate today to actively support outdoor education, footpath maintenance, habitat management, community engagement and conservation of one of our most important wild places. We can't do what we do without you, a huge THANK YOU to all of our beneficiaries. There are many ways to contribute to Friends of Nevis. If you don't fancy getting your hands dirty but totally support those that do now yours chance to join our organisation with a membership that allows you to have your say about what we're doing well and what we could improve on. Everybody who joins will receive a membership welcome package and invitations throughout the year to all of our social outings when we take off our boots and put on our dancing shoes!

The Dialect Topography of MontrealAuthor(s): Charles BobergA new survey of variation and change in Canadian English, called Dialect Topography, has been extended from Southern Ontario, where it was conceived and originally implemented, to Montreal. In the tradition of earlier questionnaires investigating Canadian English, the new data contribute to our knowledge of Canadian English at several levels of structure, including phonology, morpho-syntax, and lexicon. In this paper, the Montreal data are compared to those from the Toronto region and to earlier studies of Quebec English, in order to examine differences between the varieties of English spoken in Canada's two largest cities from a diachronic perspective. Contrary to the conclusion of an earlier study, variables involving a contrast between British and American forms show similar frequencies in both cities. The data on these variables also show the frequency of American forms in Montreal speech to be increasing over time. Another set of variables displays wide discrepancies between the two regions. Some of the differences are explained in terms of settlement history and language contact; others are not so easily explained and are presented as a challenge for future research.
Peer group identification and variation in New York Latino English lateralsAuthor(s): Peter Slomanson and Michael NewmanFollowing recent work showing that adolescent peer culture affiliation correlates with phonological variation, our research explores the effect of peer identities and national heritages on the English of Latino students in a New York City high school. Data were gathered in sociolinguistic interviews embedded in a two-year ethnography. The peer groups investigated for Spanish-English contact effects include Hip-Hoppers, Skaters, Geeks, and non-participants in high school peer cultures. Our data show that New York Latino English (NYLE) is distinct from both African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and New York European American Vernacular English (NYEAVE). Here we discuss a previously unexamined variable: the lateral (l). Our most robust research finding is the frequent occurrence of apical /l/ in the L1 Latino English onsets of our sample. This Spanish feature is foreign to NYEAVE and AAVE. Its frequency in L1 NYLE is highest among speakers unaffiliated with the high school peer cultures which promote convergence with NYEAVE and AAVE.
Moribund English: The case of Gustavia English, St. BarthélemyAuthor(s): Ken DeckerIn this day of ever-expanding influence of English it is rare to find a people who are shifting away from the use of English. Such is the case of the speakers of a variety of English spoken in the port town of Gustavia, St. Barthélemy in the French West Indies. The varieties of French and French Creole on St. Barths have been well documented, but there has been only passing mention of the variety of English spoken on the island. While the presence of this English variety in the Caribbean may not seem to be an anomaly, there are interesting questions to investigate regarding its origin and the shift to French. I consider some historical and linguistic evidence that may help to explain the presence of an English variety on this French island. I also investigate the origins of some non-standard English features and whether or not there is evidence of creolization. Finally, I describe some of the sociolinguistic factors relevant to the remaining English speakers in Gustavia and factors involved in their shift from English to French.
Botswana English: Some syntactic and lexical featuresAuthor(s): Arua E. AruaThe paper discusses some of the syntactic and lexical features of Botswana English. The syntactic features are the tag questionisn't it?and the conversational tagis it?, the exclamationSharp!, the indefinite pronoun phrasethe other one, the dangling modifier, the inversion of auxiliary verb and subject in reported questions, the redundant use of personal / reflexive pronouns, the use of the negative auxiliarydon't,the conflation of the English adjectivesorryand the Setswana adverbialhoo!,the use of the subordinating conjunctionwhichand the modal auxiliarycan be able.The lexical items discussed include Setswana words that have been borrowed and/or translated into English and words such ascondomise,diarise,shameandbrigadewhich have been formed through the processes of derivation and semantic extension. The lexical and syntactic features are those which the researcher has observed, over a six-year period, to be in frequent and widespread use in Botswana.
Exploring rhyming slang in IrelandAuthor(s): Antonio LilloThere are several varieties of English where rhyming slang is or has been a productive source of new words. However, its incidence in some Englishes still remains, by and large,terra incognitafor slang lexicographers and linguists alike. Based on a number of written sources and oral transcripts, this article surveys the origins and development of rhyming slang in Ireland, its most outstanding characteristics and its productivity throughout the 20th century down to the present. In order to illustrate the significance and creative potential of this category of word-formation in Irish English, the final part of the article offers a glossary of Irish rhyming slang, including many terms which are not recorded in the standard slang dictionaries.

One of the most intriguing things about Flickr is the concept of 'interestingness' - an arcane formula based on, among other things, the number of times a photo has been viewed, the number of groups it has been added to, the number of external-to-flickr links and the speed at which these and other statistics have been clocked up.
Discussions about how the algorithm is constructed are endless and, so far, fruitless. But at any given time, the top rated 200 photographs posted each day are displayed on the Explore page.
Some flickr members have never hit the Explore page; some are there almost every day. Some people are pleasantly surprised to find comments from people who stumbled across their work on the Explore page; others work tirelessly to try to second guess the formula and maximise the number of photos in this not-so-exclusive club.
A number of third party tools exist to allow you to check how many photos you currently have in Explore - the rankings are dynamic, so you can mysteriously appear (or, more likely, disappear) months after your photo was posted. I have contacts with 40 or more Explore photos. My peak so far is a feeble 10 - though a couple have occupied the coveted Number 1 spot, albeit briefly - and my average more like 8.
To give me an excuse to write something in the blog, I've decided to share a little about the background of those that have appeared there - and those that have stuck around.
The first is unique among my pictures by virtue of having appeared no less than 3 times in different forms and of having spent a respectable amount of time at Number 1 in its original form.
It was one of a batch of pictures I took on the walk between Gray's of Westminster and my office in Battersea the day the D200 was launched.
The first version - uploaded within half an hour or so of being taken, along with 50 or so 'snaps' and test shots - attracted a fair amount of attention (as did all the others) from soon-to-be and prospective D200 owners.
It was a couple of days later, though - when I ran it through Nikon Capture and uploaded a warmer, better exposed and slightly cropped version - that it really took off.
Undoubtedly people were still stumbling across it in their unquenchable desire to find any D200 images anywhere on the web. But the comments suggest it had at least some merit in its own right.
I didn't really do much to it - lifted the exposure over all and the shadows a little more; warmed the colour temperature a little and toned down the glare from a truck's tail lights. Subsequent versions have had different crops and there has been a black and white version. Most have been well received and several have made the Explore page, but none have come close to the original.
Over the last 18 months I've returned to that area of the Embankment several times to capture the converging perspective of the trees and street lamps at differnt times of the year and at different times of the day but nothing else has come close to that first winter sunset.
And now the office has moved West - away from the river - so I'll have to find inspiration elsewhere.

sure I can Repost but Samuel would have moved in to listen to Mordecai's talk on the Enclave.
The posts were a little harsh though.
Samuel didn't have many choices.
Also, if Zak vents like that within Samuel's hearing he will respond.
