(There is sometimes enough of a pressure change to make your ears pop, and it was awesome to see that in my data feed). I guessed (and it seems Cliff is confirming) that all readings from coordinates reasonably close to each other by GPS location and time are compared and extreme outliers are thrown out.

Specifically, advice for pilots. I went flying today and spent some time at around 3,000'-4,000'. I intended to turn the app off before I went, but I forgot. When I got home I looked at the log and there were several data points way out of line with the rest of them. I want to help, but I don't want to make things worse by providing bogus data.<br /><br />LeeUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13973794592900892256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-47834762590033606102013-02-04T18:34:43.997-08:002013-02-04T18:34:43.997-08:00I'm getting a galaxy note2 which is also compa...I'm getting a galaxy note2 which is also compatible.

I'm curious to understand whether the teachers who are protesting have any basis for their belief that they are not worthwhile. I would logically think that having standardized tests to track progress is useful but don't know much about this topic.<br /><br />Also, I have read your posts on the Everyday Math curriculum and would love to know if you have any tips or suggestions on how a Seattle Public School parent might compensate for what the schools aren't doing well. I have a kindergartner in the system and am very concerned about his math education....<br /><br />Any insight you could share on either of the above in the blog would be greatly appreciated.ever daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12487022938634345332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7478606652950905956.post-73975931754094068922013-02-03T12:17:47.494-08:002013-02-03T12:17:47.494-08:00I've downloaded it to my Galaxy Nexus.
