I used to like blue cheese.
Jackie, your raw pie looks really good! What's the layer under the berries made of?
oops sorry, only just saw your questions.
here is the recipe:
http://www.cashewcatering.co.uk/vege...ummerBerry.pdf for this
mmm i just made this... my first ever raw recipe (as inspired by the Raw Kitchen on the Active channel)
it was delicious!
That veg tart looks great Blueberries, it makes me want to do a veg pizza. Is the blue cheezly strong tasting?
I used to like blue cheese.
Thanks Leela . I have no idea if the blue cheezly tastes like animal-based blue cheese but I like it, it's not too strong and is slightly sweeter than the cheddar.
Houmous atá ann!
I made my own thai invention: egg-free udon noodles, coconut milk, peanut and chili paste, curry, cashew nuts and mixed veggies. It was so damn creamy and delicious!
anddd.. for dinner, banana and chocolate chip pancakes! first time I ever made them vegan and they were SO amazing. Even better than the ones with eggs and milk in it. My best friend even told me so, she said she didn't know we vegans ate yummy stuff!
The noodles aren't much to look at, but from the description I bet they tasted amazing. And the pancakes look as good as they sound! Silly friend for thinking that vegans didn't eat well - bet she won't make that mistake again!
mmmm that raw pie looks so yummy, jackie!
Yummy looking pancakes Lorena.
Leftover roast potato sandwich with rocket, watercress and Isa's pesto
Mung bean dahl, mango chutney, salad, rice.
Coconut custard and raspberry trifle. Tasted better than it looks
Thanks Leela . I have no idea if the blue cheezly tastes like animal-based blue cheese but I like it, it's not too strong and is slightly sweeter than the cheddar.
I think I'll have to try it, I'm getting a bit bored of having the mozzarella all the time, much as I like it.
I fancy something a bit sharper..
Whole wheat pizza dough topped with tomato and oregano.
Then diced red onion, chopped Redwoods pepperoni, griddled courgette, mozzarella cheezly and olives.
Had a bite then remembered to take pic.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! I love pizza!
Me too! The pizza looks really nice. I've never actually had courgette on a pizza - good?
I often put courgettes on my pizzas - and yes, good!
God, please may someone just delivery some slices to me.......here as I sit? Now!
Made my stomach go 'Grrrrr'.
Oh wow, vegan pizza delivered fresh to your door. Now there's a thought. Who's offering? Anyone?
Well rainbow, you could always get dairy free pizza delivered then add your own cheeze?
Me too! The pizza looks really nice. I've never actually had courgette on a pizza - good?
The courgette was very good. I griddled slices dipped in olive oil with salt first in my sandwich toaster (tesco foreman style grill)
This was to get rid of all the water that comes out of it when cooking, and to give it a nice chargrill flavour.

Sorry I think I went overboard. I am just so excited to share! I have done more food experimenting in the last year as a vegan than I did in my entire life before! My cooking, baking, food preparation, and appreciation for good whole food has increased exponentially. I am still looking forward to so much more too!
'Cornish' Pasty

[IMG] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG]
Wow Barry, that Cornish pasty looks good, is it home made?
Shop bought short-crust pastry, but I did the rest myself I swear!
It was really nice, and tasted surprisingly like a real cornish pasty, but next time I'm going to put in way more filling. I was a bit tentative this time cause I didn't want the pastry to burst when it cooked..
Yum, I love pies and pasties. Might have to give that a go.
Tofu and courgette with soy sauce and 5 spice. Served this with white rice.
Shop bought puff pastry, tomatoes, redwoods pepperoni, smoked cheddar sheese, olives and salad.
Jam tarts with home made bramble jelly and shortcrust pastry. My daughter and I burnt our mouths on these cause they take ages to cool
That pastry looks YUM!
Chocolate Chip cookies, recipe from Vegan With a Vengeance.
Dear jam tarts, get in my belly now please. Those cookies look gawjus too.
Bakewell tart with jam on the side, cos I forgot to put it in!
Hopefully still tasted as good.
^ yeah, it tasted good
Homemade pesto (Isa's bestest) I'm addicted to this stuff at the moment
Sandwich with fried slices of Redwoods pepperoni (another addiction), tomatoes and pesto
Shepherdess pie made of chopped LC sausages and mushrooms in herby tomato sauce with mashed swede and potato topping
Not pretty but tasted good
Plated with steamed broccoli
I want all of the above, in large doses.

i'm looking forward to getting home a making oven chips with mushy peas and curry sauce yummmy..... *drools*
will try and post a picture if I can wait that long before eating it haha.
All of your food looks amazing, Leela! Just looking at your shepherds' pie, I made one the other day and mine had little bits of sauce peeking over the top too! It almost makes the pie look mischievous!
Delicious plate of food at Govindas. Mine is actually the half empty plate in the background
Love Govindas, cheap, hearty food in massive portions!

Thanks Blueberries
Never heard of a pie being described as mischievous, but now its always going to spring to mind when my pie has a leak!
Buckwheat carrot muffins, the healthy version
The less healthy version, slathered with orange flavour icing
That Govindas food looks so nice crazypolly.
Is it the Soho St one (I used to go there sometimes) or is there one in Ireland?
Is there one in Ireland?

Three! ..lucky Dubliners!
Robinwomb, your desserts look healthy and delicious
May I ask , how did you make your chocolate ganache?
Oh, and I've not seen tapioca pudding since school (frogspawn!)
Bet yours taste a lot nicer though..
Thanks leela! The tapioca pudding was good but it didnt taste quite the same as the tapioca I was used to years ago. I used coconut milk to make it which may have contributed to it tasting different but it was still excellent! Most tapioca pudding recipes call for eggs but this can be worked around.
I cant remember the exact way I made the chocolate ganache but I believe I simply used dark chocolate (broke up a few 100% cacoa bars) heated on a double boiler with almond milk, vanilla extract, a little brewed coffee, and maple syrup. Some recipes call for margarine but I didnt use any. I like to take a few recipes for the same thing that are slightly different and mix and match them to make it work. The ganache dried very smoothly over my cake (I simply poured it over the cake and then used a rubber spatula to spread it around evenly) and was wonderful!
Thanks Robinwomb, that doesn't sound too difficult. I shall try it the next time I make a chocolate cake
Some raw fudge! Sooo good!
Sweet and savoury lentil salad with broccoli and red bell pepper
Red wine beet soup with raw rye crackers! YUM!
The most fantabulous salad ever invented! (if I dare say so myself )
sigen92 those salads look wonderful! The soup looks interesting too. I love raw beets!
Yes, they were really really good! Especially the last one! Lucky for me that I was alone when eating it, I sounded like a complete nut-case, 'mm'-ing and 'aah'-ing the entire time!
Everyone's food looks so delicious! My kind of eating
It was St David's Day yesterday in Wales so thought I'd make some Welsh Cakes to celebrate
They look brilliant!

Q. What is the Discover Pass?
A. The Discover Pass is a vehicle-access pass that allows you to enjoy millions of acres
of Washington state-managed recreation lands—including campgrounds, parks, wildlife areas, trails, natural areas, wilderness areas
and water-access points. The Discover Pass was created by the 2011 Legislature as a solution to keep state recreation lands open.
Revenue from the Discover Pass is intended to replace general fund tax money no longer available to cover the costs to operate
state-managed recreation lands.
Q. Where can I purchase the Discover Pass?
A. You have several options for purchasing a pass:
Q. How much does the Discover Pass cost?
A. An annual Discover Pass purchased from a recreational license dealer, by phone or online costs $35, which includes
the $30 base fee, a 10 percent transaction fee and a $2 dealer fee. A one-day Discover Pass costs $11.50, which includes the
$10 base fee, a 10 percent transaction fee and a 50-cent dealer fee. The annual pass is good for one year.
Q. Can I select the date my Discover Pass starts?
A. Yes! The "choose your date" option is available when you purchase a Discover Pass
online and at retail vendors that
sell hunting and fishing licenses. At the time of purchase, you can activate the pass immediately or on any day within one
year of the purchase date. This feature is ONLY available when purchasing the pass online and at
retail vendors.
You must pick your activation date at the time of purchase. When purchasing online, please allow 10 days for mailing when
you select a future start date.
Q. Is a Family Discover Pass available?
A. Not at this time. The changes to the Discover Pass legislation in March 2012 gave the option of establishing a Family
Discover Pass that is fully transferable. The agencies are currently working on implementation issues for such a pass.
Q. Why are transaction and dealer fees charged to purchase a Discover Pass?
A. The Discover Pass is sold through 600 retail stores, online and by phone, using the automated licensing system that
also sells Washington sport fishing and hunting licenses. The 10 percent transaction fee on each purchase pays for computer
system development and maintenance, dealer sales terminals and supplies, customer service, dealer training and support,
financial accounting and reporting of sales transactions. The $2 dealer fee on each transaction is paid to retail outlets
that sell the Discover Pass or to offset the costs associated with Internet and telephone sales, including processing of credit
card sales, postage and staff time to print and mail the pass documents to those who have purchased the pass online or by phone.
The Discover Pass also is available for purchase during regular business hours at State Parks headquarters and region offices
and at parks as staff are available. The one-day pass also can be purchased at unstaffed payment stations at state parks. Vehicle
owners also can purchase the Discover Pass when renewing license tabs through the Department of Licensing. Passes purchased through
state parks do not include transaction and dealer fees. Passes purchased by credit or debit card through DOL subagents may have
bank charges added.
Q. What if I visit a Washington state recreation land and don't have the Discover Pass?
A. You may go to the nearest retail business that sells hunting and fishing licenses to purchase the pass. For
vendor locations, visit online or call toll-free at
(866) 320-9933.
Q. Will people from out of state need to purchase a pass?
A. Yes
Q. How long is my Discover Pass valid?
A. The annual pass is good for one year (365 days) from the date of issue.
Q. If I order my Discover Pass online or by phone, how long will it take to receive my Discover Pass in the mail?
A. Annual Discover Passes: Your order should arrive within 7 to 10 business days. In addition, you may print a
temporary 10-day pass at the time of purchase from the website or from your email if you provide an email address at the time of
purchase. A Discover Pass not received in the mail must be reported within 30 days of the purchase date. Contact customer
service at (866) 320-9933 or email@example.com. Be sure to provide
your first and last name, and phone number. Replacement fees may apply after 30 days.
One-Day Discover Pass: These passes are not mailed out; you must print it. You must print your one-day pass at
the time of purchase OR provide your email address when making your purchase. The one-day pass will be sent via email, which will
allow printing at a later time/date.
Q. What do I do if I have a technical problem with my online purchase or have a complaint or suggestion to improve services?
A. Please call the Department of Fish and Wildlife at (866) 320-9933 or e-mail the Department of Fish and Wildlife at
email@example.com. Provide your contact information, including first and last name and your phone number. A customer
service representative will assist you with your questions and concerns.
Washington State Parks has announced the following "free days," when the Discover Pass will not be required to visit a state park.
2014 State Parks free days:
A Discover Pass will still be required on these days to access lands managed by the Washington State Department of Natural
Resources and the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
Q. What if I decide I don't need or don't want the Discover Pass after I've purchased it?
A. You may request a refund within 60 minutes of purchasing a pass through the WDFW dealer where
you purchased the pass. For more information, contact the toll-free, 24-hour Customer Service Center at (866) 320-9933 or
If you purchased the pass directly from State Parks you may request a refund at the location where you purchased the
pass within 30 minutes of your purchase.
Q. What if I purchased a Discover Pass and then realized I didn't need it because I qualify for an
exemption through a State Parks pass program?
(Such as disabled veterans, senior citizens, etc.)
A. Call the Washington State Parks Information Center in Olympia at (360) 902-8844.
Q. I'm in the military. What if I purchase a Discover Pass and then find out I will be deployed
within a year of purchasing the pass?
A. Please contact the toll-free, 24-hour Customer Service Center at (866) 320-9933 or
Q. What if I order a pass online, by phone, or through the Department of Licensing vehicle
license renewal, and I don't receive one in the mail?
A. If you did not receive your Discover Pass in the mail, it must be reported within 30 days
from the date of purchase. Replacement fees may apply after 30 days. Contact the toll-free, 24-hour Customer Service
Center at (866) 320-9933 or email@example.com.

within 5 to 7 business days of the date your request was processed.
Q. Where should I display the Discover Pass?
A. The Discover Pass must be visible in the front windshield of motor vehicles licensed for street use.
For vehicles without a windshield, the pass must be displayed in a prominent location on the vehicle. Motorcycle
riders may carry the pass with them.
Q. Can I transfer one Discover Pass between two vehicles?
A. Yes, the annual Discover Pass is now transferable between two vehicles. For passes already printed, use
ink to legibly write in a second license number, either in the license plate box or in a blank
spot on the front of the pass. In the future, passes will be printed with two lines for license numbers. The pass
is still only good for one vehicle at a time.
Q. What do I do if I already own a Discover Pass with only one license number on it?
A. It can now be used with two vehicles. Use ink to legibly write in a second license number,
either in the license plate box or in a blank spot on the front of the pass. The pass is still only good for one
vehicle at a time.
Q. What is the penalty for not having a Discover Pass on my vehicle?
A. The penalty is $99. This penalty is reduced to $59 if an individual provides proof of purchase of the Discover
Pass to the court within 15 days after the notice of violation.
Q. Who needs to purchase the Discover Pass?
A. The Discover Pass is required for access with street-legal motor vehicles. Some exemptions apply. A list of
exemptions from Discover Pass requirements is posted on the Exemptions page
on the Discover Pass website.
Q. Where will I need a Discover Pass?
A. The pass is required on state recreation lands and water-access sites managed by Washington State Parks
(State Parks), Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and Washington State Department of Natural Resources
(DNR). These lands include state parks, water-access points, heritage sites, wildlife and natural areas, DNR and WDFW campgrounds,
trails and trailheads and all DNR managed uplands (natural areas and trustlands, but not aquatic lands.
Q. If I am gathering mushrooms, berries or firewood for my personal use or doing other dispersed recreation
activities such as geocaching, driving forest roads, bird watching, etc., do I still need to purchase an access pass?
A. Yes. All street-licensed vehicles will need a Discover Pass to access state recreation lands managed by the agencies.
Q. Do I need a Discover Pass if I access state recreation lands by foot, horse, bicycle, boat, skateboard, etc.?
A. No. The Discover Pass is a motor vehicle permit and is only required for street-legal motor vehicles to access state-managed recreation
lands. It is not required for access using other forms of transportation, such as bicycles, boats, horses or on foot. However, if motor
vehicles are used to transport or tow boats, bicycles, horses, etc., the motor vehicle must display the pass. Boaters will still need to pay
any moorage and boat pumping fees.
Q. Will I need a Discover Pass to drive on ocean beaches for clam digging or other recreation?
A. You will not need a Discover Pass to access the beach or to drive or park on the beach. However, you will need a Discover Pass to
park in any developed State Parks parking areas upland from the beach.
Q. If I pay to have an extra overnight vehicle while camping in a state park, will I also need the Discover Pass?
A. No. An easy way to think about this is that in State Parks the Discover Pass is for day visits. State Parks daytime hours end
at dusk. Registered campers and others with paid overnight stays in State Parks do not need to have the Discover Pass. They simply
display their camping registration on their dashboard.
The extra overnight vehicle fee in State Parks is associated only with camping stays. If you are camping, your registration includes
a single motor vehicle for tent campers, or in the case of RV camping, the RV and a towed vehicle. Owners of any extra vehicles
associated with the overnight stay in a state park campsite pay a $10 extra overnight vehicle fee. If you bring your RV in and drive
a second vehicle in for your camping stay, then you pay the extra overnight vehicle fee. This is a long-standing practice and a way
to mitigate the impact that additional vehicles have on natural resources in the campgrounds.
Q. If I have the Discover Pass, will I have to pay the extra overnight vehicle fee?
A. Yes. The extra overnight vehicle fee applies only to extra vehicles parked overnight in state park campgrounds. The Discover
Pass is needed by daytime visitors.
Q. If I have an annual State Parks watercraft launch permit (Natural Investment Permit), will I need to have the Discover
A. No, if you have an annual Natural Investment Permit, you do not need the Discover Pass to access state parks, however, you
will still need the Discover Pass to access lands managed by DNR and WDFW.
Q. If I rent a day-use facility in a state park for a family event such as a wedding or family reunion, or if I attend a
community event or festival, will I need to have a Discover Pass?
A. The annual Discover Pass or one-day pass is required for those attending most events in state parks. You may work with
park managers to discuss pre-sale or bulk purchase of passes to streamline logistics at events. In unusual circumstances, payments
in lieu of Discover Passes may be negotiated. For questions, contact park managers.
Q. Can I use my federal recreation pass to access
Washington state recreation lands?
A. No. The federal pass allows access to National Parks, National Forests, National Wildlife Refuges, and lands managed by
the Bureau of Land Management. The passes cannot be used for recreation access to state-managed recreation lands.
Q. Will I need a Discover Pass or a Sno-Park Permit to visit winter recreation areas on state-managed lands?
A. In some cases you will need both. For specifics, visit the Washington State Parks winter recreation web page
or view a chart that illustrates the winter recreation requirements.
Q. Which agencies receive the money from the Discover Pass fee?
A. The revenue will be shared among the three agencies as follows:
Revenue from the Discover Pass is needed to make up the loss of general fund money that had historically been
available for recreation on state lands. The state budget for the next two years (2011-2013 biennium)
has almost no general fund dollars (tax revenue) for recreation on state lands. Revenues from the pass go to each
agency in the proportion needed for general fund replacement.
Q. Will all of the revenue from the Discover Pass be used for recreation on state lands?
A. Yes. Revenue will be used for the purpose of operating and maintaining recreation lands and facilities. Legislation
requires that all revenue received from the sales of the Discover Pass go directly into the Recreation Access Pass Account.
Q. How can I be assured that the funds will be used to support recreation?
A. The purpose of the legislation is to provide operating funds in place of the general fund tax dollars no longer available for
recreation. The operating philosophy of the legislation is that it is fair to ask those who use state recreation lands to pay for them
directly. All of the revenue from the Discover Pass goes toward providing recreation access on state recreation lands.
Q. Why do we need another fee when we are already paying for recreation access through taxes to the state?
A. The state budget deficit continues to grow, in large part, because of the recession and resulting decreasing revenue from
taxes. The 2011-2013 biennial state budget eliminates nearly all state general fund support to operate and maintain state lands for
recreation. Without funding from the Discover Pass, state natural resource agencies would be forced to make sharp reductions in
services, including swinging gates shut on parks and closing entire recreation areas, as many other states have done with their
recreation lands.
Q. Can volunteers obtain a complimentary Discover Pass?
A. Yes. Volunteers who work 24 hours on agency-approved projects can earn a complimentary annual pass. Each
agency must provide vouchers to volunteers, recording the number of hours they worked on each project. Volunteers
can redeem the voucher for the annual Discover Pass. The three agencies have developed policies for the
complimentary Discover Pass, such as where and how volunteers get vouchers, what constitutes an agency-approved
project and where people can go to redeem their vouchers.
Q. Who is eligible to earn a complimentary Discover Pass?
A. Participants must be approved, registered volunteers who have completed any and all required training and
work on agency-approved projects.
Q. What training is required?
A. The agency conducting the volunteer event will determine what kind of training, if any, is required.
Q. How do I get a complimentary Discover Pass?
A. Each eligible volunteer may receive one complimentary Discover Pass by participating in 24 hours of work on
eligible volunteer projects and providing documentation of participation on Volunteer Vouchers provided by the agencies.
Q. How many complimentary Discover Passes can I earn?
A. One complimentary Discover Pass will be issued to an eligible volunteer in any 12-month period.
Q. What volunteer projects are considered eligible for the Discover Pass?
A. Together, the three agencies have developed
general criteria for volunteer and project
eligibility. In addition, each agency is developing specific criteria for its volunteer program.
Q. Do I need to purchase a Discover Pass, or a WDFW Vehicle Access Pass (where applicable) to access state
recreation lands while participating in eligible volunteer projects?
No. Volunteers will be provided with a "business only" temporary pass on the day of a scheduled volunteer event,
which will allow them access for that day.
Q. What are Volunteer Vouchers and how do I get them?
A. Whenever you participate in a Discover Pass-eligible volunteer project or event, you may request a Volunteer
Voucher from agency staff. The voucher documents participation and the number of hours worked.
Q. Who tracks and maintain my Volunteer Vouchers until I am ready to redeem them for a pass?
A. As a volunteer, you are responsible for filling out and maintaining your Volunteer Voucher for each eligible
project in which you participate. Agency staff will sign your completed Vouchers. Once you've accumulated 24 hours, you
may redeem the vouchers for a complimentary pass.
Q. How do I redeem Volunteer Vouchers for a complimentary pass?
A. To receive your complimentary Discover Pass, follow the instructions indicated on the vouchers. Your Discover
Pass will be mailed to you at the address you provide on your vouchers.
Q. Can I accrue volunteer hours from different agencies?
A. Yes. You may earn a complimentary Discover Pass by accruing eligible volunteer hours from one or all of the
agencies—Washington State Parks, Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife and Washington State Department of Natural
Q. Can I combine my eligible volunteer hours/vouchers with another person, friend or family member and submit
them for a complimentary Discover Pass?
A. No. Each individual must accrue at least 24 eligible hours to qualify for a complimentary pass.
Q. Can volunteers who receive anything in exchange for services, such as campground hosting (free campsite/utilities)
or participating in WDFW's Master Hunter Program (special hunting access), get a complimentary Discover Pass?
A. No. The hours of service in volunteer positions that already receive something in exchange for volunteer time are
not counted toward a complimentary Discover Pass.
Q. Once I have received my first complimentary Discover Pass, can I continue to earn and save hours to exchange
for additional Discover Passes?
A. Yes, you may continue to earn and save hours. You may receive only one complimentary Discover Pass per 12-month period,
so any additional hours will go towards a future complimentary Discover Pass. You are required to keep track of your own hours
and submit them each year.
Q. Do volunteer hours donated to fulfill requirements for purposes outside of State Parks, DNR, or WDFW count
towards a complimentary Discover Pass?
A. No. Volunteer hours donated to fulfill requirements for outside purposes such as school credits, graduation, or
court-ordered community service are not eligible.
Q. Where can I get information about eligible volunteer projects that count toward a complimentary Discover Pass?
A. More information is available at:
Q. Are there exemptions to the Discover Pass requirement?
A. Yes. You may find a list of exemptions on the Discover Pass website.
Q. Where can I get more information about the Discover Pass?
A. You may send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or call toll-free
(866) 320-9933. Additional information will be added to this website as it becomes available.

An amazing weekend with New Hope Baptist Church was the result of God bringing Glowing Heart to Cedar Park! We hope that these kids will continue to show the same amount of tenacity towards their spirituality that they showed during the activities! All of the groups made videos -- all of them were funny and pretty good! This one is mostly of the seventh grade guys.

Residents again came out to voice their opinions at a meeting to collect public comments on the Ohio River Bridges Project, but few believe anything will change.
More than 120 people attended the public open house held to gather comments on the economic impacts of tolling for the bridges project on low-income and minority users.
"I don't anticipate that this means anything, ultimately," said Georgetown resident Karen Bassett, who offered her input Monday. "Yes, throughout their entire process they've had their meetings and invited comment, but I just get the sense on both sides of the river the decision was made and it doesn't really ... matter what we say."
The tentative plan for tolling will place electronic tolls on both Interstate 65 bridges — a new northbound bridge being constructed and the existing Kennedy Bridge which will become a southbound-only bridge — and the east-end bridge. The Interstate 64 Sherman Minton Bridge and the Clark Memorial Bridge will remain untolled. Rates for the tolls on the bridges have not been finalized, but Indiana and Kentucky have been operating off of a model that would set tolling figures at $1 each way for frequent commuters; $2 per crossing for other passenger vehicles; $5 each way for panel or box trucks; and $10 per crossing for semi-trucks.
Despite the purpose for the meeting, the bulk of the comments offered up by local residents continue to be centered around concerns that have been brought up since tolling was announced as potentially being part of the project.
"It means less discretionary income," Bassett said of tolls on the bridges. "Every single dollar they take out of our pocket on that toll bridge is going to be a dollar not spent locally. And I don't see what they're doing to mitigate the impact to Southern Indiana business."
Dan Christensen, owner of Affairs of the Heart Florist in Jeffersonville, was concerned about the amount of cost that would hit the Jeffersonville florist shop.
"We don't necessarily stock everything our customers want ... [but] within 30 minutes I can get it," he said.
Christensen said the wholesalers that he buys from are located in Louisville, and combined with the trips he makes to deliver flowers over the river, he often makes six trips a day across the I-65 bridge.
The lone state legislator at the meeting, Sen. Ron Grooms, R-Jeffersonville, said he has asked about a frequent-commercial-user rate, especially for small businesses. He added other vehicles like taxi cabs and ambulances have not been investigated for a possible frequent-user rate or exempt status.
While he said the impact of a car going across the bridge can be measured, ultimately the impact on businesses is unknown.
Grooms said increased traffic could bring more customers to Indiana despite the tolls.
"If the northbound I-65 bridge is now at six lanes, it brings 20 percent more traffic to Southern Indiana," Grooms said. "Does that mean my business now has access to 20 percent more people? I don't know. I think that's a question we just can't answer until we see what the impact is."
Some local residents believe they already know the answer.
"The little restaurants down here .... it's going to kill them," said Jeffersonville resident Robert "Doc" Lee. He added that a lot of people cross the river to come to the events held at Jeffersonville's RiverStage on the weekends, and wondered if that would be affected by bridge tolls.
Clarksville Town Councilman and Say No 2 Bridge Tolls co-founder Paul Fetter has said consistently that the tolls on the downtown corridor will create a barrier to those who come across the river to shop or eat. He offered several solutions to avoid tolls, but said the chances of any of them being implemented is unlikely.
"We've been having meetings for three years, we've been making comments for three years," Fetter said. "No, I don't think they're going to do anything that anybody else suggests."
Spokesmen for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Indiana Department of Transportation said there is not a timeline on when those rates would be finalized.
Rates will be among the decisions made by the Kentucky-Indiana Joint Tolling Board, which includes leaders of the two states' transportation and finance agencies. In addition, the board will likely determine an index for inflation, whether or not the recommendations made in the draft report — which include giving away transponders for free — are implemented and what exemptions will exist for the tolls.
A second recommendation in the report calls for $20 million to be provided to Transit Authority of River City, or TARC, for capital investment in buses and improved transit facilities to enhance public transportation. And TARC is seeking an exemption that would allow its buses to avoid the cost of tolls all together.
According to the resolution, TARC buses cross the Ohio River 946 times each week and TARC3 provides another 140 trips.
TARC Spokesman Jon Reiter said it is uncertain what rate TARC would be subject to under the current tolling structure for each crossing if it is not granted an exempt status.
"It's all hypothetical at this point, but we don't anticipate passing along any toll expenses by increasing fares," he said in an email. "It may mean, however, that we have to pull a bus or two from a particular route which would lead to decreased service levels at a time when we should be adding service."

Star Beacon
ASHTABULA — David Allen Whitaker, age 69, of Ashtabula, Ohio, died Monday, Dec. 31, 2012, at University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center.
He was born Nov. 24, 1943, in Ashtabula, to John Maurice and Ethel Mae (Peggs) Whitaker. A lifelong Ashtabula resident, he grew up in the Harbor area and attended Mother of Sorrows Elementary School. The family then moved to South Ridge West and he attended Saybrook Junior High School. He graduated from Ashtabula High School in 1963.
He married Ingrid Maureen Nelson on Nov. 5, 1966. They have six children, Renee (David) Buhl of Clinton, Tenn., David (Shelly) Whitaker II, Judith (Bill) Neff and Diane (Sean McBride) Whitaker, all of Ashtabula, John (Rebecca) Whitaker of Newnan, Ga., and Laura (Shawn Hadlock) of Ashtabula; 12 grandchildren, Natawni (Tim Dougherty) Buhl of Tennessee, Kayla Wynn of Tennessee, Nicole Oliver of Missouri, Justin and Grant Whitaker of Georgia, Aaron Whitaker, Robert (Gabrielle Reo) Oliver II, Whitney Johnson, Tiffany (Dillon Riddle) Johnson, Hope Moody, Blaine Hadlock and step-grandson, Deven Hadlock, all of Ashtabula; and six great-grandchildren, Madison Buhl, Brenden and Jayden Dougherty and Markie Buhl, all of Tennessee, Derek Riddle and Jack Oliver, both of Ashtabula. Also surviving are a step-sister, Donna Weeks of Florida and a step-brother, Robert (Ann) Frisbie of Ashtabula; one aunt, Anna Marie Kerekes; and cousins, Steven Kerekes and Robert Whitaker and Irene Soles of California. His sisters-in-law, Norma (Gary) Eble and Cheryl (Chuck) Stills; and many nieces and nephews.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his step-mother, Twila Frisbie Whitaker; his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Carl and Neva Nelson; two grandsons, Mark and Mathew Buhl; his grandparents; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.
In his younger years, he worked for Broughton Beverages and later for Ashtabula Coca Cola delivering all over Ashtabula and Lake County. In 1970, he began a career with Saybrook Township, road and cemetery department. He started mowing grass in the cemetery and moved on to work on the roads in the summer and plowing in the winter. His regular run took him past his own home where if it snowed on Christmas morning the kids would be standing at the window waiting to see Dad go by, knowing this was the last leg of his route and soon would be home to have Christmas. The last five years before retirement he held the position of Superintendent and Cemetery Sexton. He retired in 1998.
Graveside Services will be held 2 p.m., Today, Jan. 4th, at Saybrook Cemetery with the Rev. Michael Meranda, of Messiah Lutheran Church, officiating. The family will receive friends and family at Messiah Lutheran Church following the services.
Memorial contributions can be made to the family or in David's name to Habitat for Humanity of Ashtabula County.

The Indiana House has collected most of the roughly $3,000 in fines that most Democratic members faced for their five-week boycott during this year's session.
House records show that more than $100,000 has been collected from the 39 Democrats whose boycott blocked any legislative action. The Journal Gazette of Fort Wayne reports that only about $12,000 remains uncollected.
Most has been collected through deductions from the legislators' expense checks, while some have directly paid their fines.
Republican House Speaker Brian Bosma says the money will go into the House budget and if it is unspent at the end of the fiscal year, it will be returned to the state's general fund.

We say: "Sure, the bike is cap It's a classic GS experience. Half an hour ago I was cruising comfortably along a Spanish motorway. Ten minutes ago I was scratching down a twisty back road with my toes clipping the asphalt. And now I'm standing up on the pegs on a gravely path snaking through the Andalusian countryside. This off-road excursion isn't very ambitious; it's just a short detour before it's time to get back on the road and return to our hotel. Then again, most GS owners' globe-trotting daydreams aren't rooted in reality. But aspirations are a powerful marketing tool, and BMW has sold nearly 200,000 R1200GSs since the model was launched six years ago. For 2010, both the GS and its heavy-duty Adventure sibling received updated top ends. The new mill maintains the traditional 1170cc displacement and four valves per cylinder but doubles the cam count and increases valve diameter (up 3mm for the intake and 2mm for the exhaust) and lift for more peak power. Performance is increased to a claimed 110 horsepower at 7750 rpm-5 up on the old unit. The new motor revs 500 rpm higher, too, maxing out at 8500 rpm. It's stronger by several horsepower almost everywhere from 2500 rpm to that limit, especially at 5000 and 6500 rpm, where it's got about 10 more ponies. There is, however, a distinct dip between those points, where the old engine briefly claws ahead. The engine tweak is the primary update, but other minor changes include a new cable-operated exhaust power valve, plus reworked baffles inside the single silencer. Styling is unchanged save for new color options, and the red bike I chose looked good with its accessory hand guards. Having always admired the GS's tall, bird-like profile, I was glad they hadn't muddled with the appearance, although I was less impressed by the messy-looking exhaust power valve. But firing up the new DOHC twin unleashed a notably louder, more aggressive exhaust note that's instantly exciting. The bike's ability to pass emission tests presumably owes much to that unsightly valve, so all credit to it. The biggest change for 2010 is the cylinder heads, carryovers from the HP2 Sport. Larger valves enjoy DOHC actuation, higher lift and a higher redline that translates to more midrange power and torque. The biggest change for 2010 is the cylinder heads, carryovers from the HP2 Sport.

No such option is available for the Adventure.

Cockpit view reveals a few fresh details including restyled instruments, brake and clutch The aural accompaniment made me keen to give the GS some stick as we set off from the launch base near Malaga in southern Spain. The plan was to follow the coast road east to Motril before veering north onto the steeper, twistier roads of the Sierra Nevada. Even before we'd gotten out of town and reached the open road, it was clear that the new sound was matched by extra performance. The improvement isn't dramatic, but I'm sure I wasn't imagining the extra spring in the boxer's step as it charged forward in response to a tweak of the throttle. The bike pulled from 2500 rpm without complaint, punched hard through the midrange, and generally felt lively and wonderfully flexible. The GS is nearly unstoppable, but the bike's size and weight are never far from one's mind off-road. Those thoughts are even more prominent aboard the taller, heavier Adventure. The GS is nearly unstoppable, but the bike's size and weight are never far from one's mind Occasionally I noticed a slight lag in throttle response near that 5500-rpm torque dip, but it wasn't a problem. Apart from making a quick pass on the freeway, there was no real incentive to work the GS hard. I much preferred to short-shift through the six-speed box, riding that wave of torque for which flat-twins are so well known. Fuel economy doesn't seem to have been affected by the four-valve layout. Assuming the accessory onboard computer is accurate, the GS averaged about 33 mpg despite some pretty high cruising speeds. That equates to a range of well over 150 miles from its 5.3-gallon tank. Comfort is another aspect that's basically unchanged, which is no surprise because it has always been outstanding. The one-piece bar and thick two-piece seat, in conjunction with well-placed footpegs, give plenty of room. The only inconsistency is the windscreen, which is a hair too low to fully block the windblast, even when lifted to its highest position. BMW doesn't recommend using the Adventure's taller screen (which fits), because the standard model's mounts aren't as strong. But some riders have done so, and I'd be tempted to do the same. 1 | 2 | 3 | » | View Full Article By Roland Brown Enjoyed this Post?

I changed blackberries for the blueberries because that's what I had on hand. I left everything else the same. I was looking for something quick for lunch that would supply the energy I needed before getting going with the kids again. This was perfect on a hot day! I paired it with a tall glass of iced tea and I was in heaven.
This not only tastes good, but is good for you. I recently got into using wheat germ and it's great with fruit and yogurt. I used bluberries, strawberries and replaced the banana with raspberries. I used fat free greek vanilla yogurt and topped the whole thing off with a little honey. This is a great breakfast that you don't have to feel guillty about.
Fit&Healthy Mom
Delicious! First I added some agave in 1 cup of fat free plain yogurt, which I prefer instead of vanilla flavored yogurt, then I layered the yogurt, granola, wheat germ and fruits (I omitted the banana). Very good and not too sweet.

Crying wolf ...
I was browsing the Web recently and came across this headline, "Elance plans to disrupt temp staffing through Web."
Pretty dramatic, don't you think? The second paragraph went on to quote Elance CEO Fabio Rosati about how he thinks his company, which is basically a workplace exchange site, can provide a better experience for customers.
"Just like Monster and [Yahoo.com's] Hot Jobs killed the print classified business, iTunes killed Tower Records, and Netflix went after Blockbuster, we think we can provide a better experience," the Silicon Valley/San Jose Business Journal quoted Elance CEO Fabio Rosati. "It's like skipping the travel agent and going directly online to get your own booking."
The one thought in my mind after reading was, "not another doomsday prediction." I am sure a few of us remember the mid '90s -- the emergence of job boards -- when everyone was predicting the demise of staffing. And then came the e-mania when the oracles announced that staffing as we know it will cease to exist. This was followed by the advent of various exchanges, vendor management systems and offshore outsourcing. But each new phenomenon would excite the naysayers to wax eloquent about the doom of the staffing industry.
But here we are. It is 2008 and the staffing industry is still going strong at a projected $133.4 billion.
There was a time when some job boards wouldn't allow staffing firms to post jobs on their Web sites, but they changed their minds soon enough. Reason? It wasn't a good business strategy. The staffing industry has weathered many such storms and has survived. Take for instance the whole offshore outsourcing issue. Yes, it was painful, but many staffing firms are looking for creative ways to work it to their advantage. Some are now looking into cost savings in offshoring the initial part of the recruiting function or getting into project management, which as we know can make or break a project that is outsourced.
Yes, e-business, job boards, exchanges, VMS, offshore outsourcing are great business models, but they are more likely to blend into the fabric of staffing rather than eliminate it.

Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett says the city will no longer be a "dumping ground" for sex offenders. The mayor signed a bill this week restricting where they can live after leaving prison.
The business practice of outsourcing remains center stage in the race for governor. Gov. Walker criticizes Democratic challenger Mary Burke for profiting from her family's company, Trek Bicycle, which has outsourced production overseas.
Hundreds of Milwaukee-area kids have begun working out for upcoming fall sports. Their arrival may delight parents, but also heighten fears about potential concussions.
Early voting begins Monday in city clerks' offices across Wisconsin. Voters who can't make it to the polls on Election Day will be able to cast ballots during the two weeks prior to the August 12 primary.
Gov. Scott Walker says he's not entirely opposed to Wisconsin providing temporary shelter for unaccompanied children crossing into the U. S. on the Mexican border, but housing them could eventually "drain the entire system."
Lawyers will argue the constitutionality of Wisconsin's same sex marriage ban next month. The 7th U. S. Circuit Court of Appeals Friday rescheduled arguments to hear both Wisconsin's and Indiana's appeals for Aug. 26.
Federal judges overturned each state's gay marriage ban in separate rulings. When both states appealed, the 7th Circuit combined the cases.
The court also denied requests that the states' appeals be heard before the full 10-member court instead of a three-judge pael, as is customary.
Christopher McIntyre Perceptions, the creator Br(OK)en Genius, writes in his project's manifesto:
"As a 24 year old young black male, I technically have less than one year to beat or become a part of the 'dead or in jail' statistic….Only when what is broken comes to light can the broken heal."
Helping youth get that critical experience is at the heart of the mission of the Youth Employment Services, or YES, program. It's run by the Milwaukee nonprofit St. Charles Youth and Family Services, Inc., a social service agency that serves at-risk youth and their families.
Last year, St. Charles' opened RePurpose, a non-profit resale shop in Sherman Park, to serve as a training ground for these young people to learn on-the-job work skills.
We all know that children who grow up in disadvantaged homes face unique challenges to their well-being and their chances for success later in life. But growing up in low-income circumstances isn't a blanket predictor of a child's future; some may do well, some may struggle.
But are there factors that could predict a child's future situation? Do children of a particular demographic fare better than those of another in the long run? How much depends on a child's ability to grow and make his own future, and how much is out of his control?

The Pentagon Must Better Spell Out Sequestration's National Security Impacts
The Pentagon has yet to fully spell out the effects of the budget cuts on national defense.
Over three months into sequestration – and nearly two years since the president signed the proposal into law – the public, and most of Washington for that matter, still has little clue what sequestration means in action for America's military. That's because the consequences of automatic and steep budget cuts have been detailed either at a level too broad or vague to worry about now when meat inspectors and air traffic controllers are threatening delays (like warnings of a readiness crisis) or else they have been pushed down to overly technical and bureaucratic-speak (similar to what the Offce of Management and Budget produced in compliance with a law demanding more transparency surrounding sequestration).
Missing is an understandable, tangible description of real world stories and impacts on service members and their families. That doesn't mean they are not feeling the impact of four years of budget cuts, but rather, few know what they are or how painful they might be.
Inside the Pentagon, there is some discussion about how reduced funding is impacting force structure, and how a smaller defense will alter the military's ability to implement the pivot to Asia. It is important for Pentagon leaders to move beyond the abstract and connect reduced funding and capacity to the inability to accomplish core military missions.
[See a Collection of Political Cartoons on Sequestration and the Fiscal Cliff.]
But these outcomes must also be translated into plain English and made available to the wider public and Congress.
Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel is wrapping up an internal analysis to highlight negative future strategic outcomes. The process was designed to identify "breaking points" in U.S. defense strategy at varying resource levels. It was recently broadened to direct the services to outline how sequestration would be implemented next year, as well as the investment choices over the next five years if it remains in effect.
The Pentagon would then "stress test" strategic priorities against these newly-informed budget plans to determine where cuts will force a change in strategy. While by no means exhaustive, this means officials will finally have some form of documentation that will help policymakers connect the dots between strategy, force planning and resources under shrinking budgets.
Hagel must make the results public. Americans and their elected officials must know sequestration's impact beyond abstract warnings or more charts. They deserve to know how this law will impact America's forces and families, as well as the nation's ability to defend allies, retaliate against aggression and respond to global crises.
[Read the U.S. New Debate: Who Loses Politically With Sequestration?]
Airing these consequences publicly would allow politicians to decide if they truly want to delay talks to craft a "grand bargain" and alter the disproportionate impact on the U.S. military – an effort increasingly elusive in Washington, D.C. Sharing this analysis in no uncertain terms is also the Pentagon's best chance to change or lessen the impact of sequestration. Thus far, politicians have been quick to shield the public from sequestration's worst by exempting veterans' benefits, air traffic controllers, meat inspectors and more.
The public has a right to know what its military will no longer be able to do, and the military has a responsibility to inform policymakers of the consequences of their inaction. Keeping sequestration's impact under wraps has only guaranteed its continuation so far. Perhaps Pentagon leaders will wise up and try and smarter approach erring on the side of full public disclosure.

I ordered this camisole in white. It is really more of an off-white, with bright white lace; they are not the same color. I don't really like the way the lace looks on the cami. My bust measures 38"- I ordered a medium and it fits everywhere but my chest. It's tight and flattened my b***s- I don't think I could even wear a bra with it which is a problem since this is somewhat see-through. I will be returning this item.

iPhone 3.1 Beta Walkthrough
iPhone 3.1 Beta 1 has just been released, and unlike the major new version that was iPhone 3.0, it's still unclear how many features -- compared with bug fixes -- will be added. However, enterprising developers have already discovered at least a few things we can all look forward too.
So, here's TiPb's iPhone 3.1 Beta Walkthrough, and we'll keep it updated as/if Apple releases future betas.
Home Screen
The jigglies -- what Dieter lovingly calls the little dance icons do when you hold them down long enough to make them moveable and rearrangeable -- now make the iPhone vibrate once to further indicate the change of state. Whether or not this will somehow factor in to the iPhone 3GS accessibility features is uncertain.
Voice Control
Voice Control, after holding down the Home button for several seconds, let you speak simple commands to place calls and control music. In iPhone 3.1, it will also work over Bluetooth.
The exact process isn't clear yet, but it's hard to imagine anything other than holding down the call button on a Bluetooth headset function similarly to how the Home button currently works.
After being present in iPhone 3.0 Beta 1 through Beta 4, before being stripped out in Beta 5, AT&T users will again find MMS functionality restored to the interface. However, it's not functional without hacking the carrier file, and it's unknown if it will survive until release or be stripped out again if AT&T still isn't ready for the feature to go live.
Calendar gets a minor tweak in iPhone 3.1. Now event alerts also display the location of the event in the popup. Presumably, this is now considered important glance-able information.
Video trimming is now non-destructive. Previously, if you trimmed a video, it was automatically saved over the original, meaning you could never undo or go back to the full clip. Now, a Save As... dialog gives you the option of preserving the original and creating as many version copies as you want (an short clip to email, a longer one to share to YouTube, and the full clip to sync and bring into iMovie, for example).
Copy and Paste comes to the Phone Keypad. Just tap and hold and the input area will change from dark blue to light blue, and the Copy Paste menu will pop up.
Reportedly, the iPhone Paste feature is "smart" enough to change alphanumeric phone numbers to pure numbers (i.e. 1-800-FLOWERS to 1-800-356-9377).
When Will it Ship?
If history is any indication, iPhone 2.0 was released on July 11, 2008, and iPhone 2.1 followed some two months and 4 betas later on September 12, 2008 hot on the heels of Apple's Let's Rock introduction of the 2nd generation iPod touch. Will we have to wait for another new iPod and music event before we see 3.1?
Our guess is Apple will try to get 3.1 out earlier to fix a few of the more onerous bugs, but as always, only Jobs knows for sure...
Note on Using Beta Software
Unlike iPhone 2.0 Betas, where access seemed much more limited and leaks were few and far between, 3.1 like 3.0 seems to be on every iPhone users want-now list. Also, unlike 2.0 when many devs were seasoned pros, now Apple is touting thousands upon thousands in the program, some seemingly happy enough to enable 3.0 access for the general user base.
However, betas are intended for developers to test and report back on. They're not as stable, not as snappy, not as feature-complete and anyone trying to use them as a production OS on their main (or worse, only) device is likely to have something less than an ideal experience. People trying to use it as such may wish they could go back to iPhone 3.0 almost as much as they wished for 3.1. Think thrice before taking the plunge.
There are 60 comments. Add yours.
I hope they also fix the bug in the Messages Application. If you add more than one person it becomes a "Group MMS" :(.
I thought the beta was under a NDA from apple? apparently not!
Were you not able to test the voice control over bluetooth using a headset? I'd quite like to know whether its as easy as holding down the call button!
"People trying to use it as such may wish they could go back to iPhone 3.0 almost as much as they wished for 3.1. Think thrice before taking the plunge."
Too bad I can't..I would like to have my crappy battery life back, at least it was stable...just crap battery.
AVRCP support going to be added?
quote from Raul "I hope they also fix the bug in the Messages Application. If you add more than one person it becomes a "Group MMS" :( "
Yeah that was a costly finding for me.
I took a new phone number for my iPhone and sent out a large group sms to notify friends thinking it would be free as I get included sms in my plan.
Turns out it sends as MMS which cost 50 cents for each recipient :(
@Raul: Disable the MMS feature, and your group text should go through as a standard SMS.
@Nick: Indeed, tapping on the call button on my earpiece does initiate Voice Control on the iPhone 3GS running 3.1 beta.
I hope they hurry up on getting Pandora fixed. Seems that there is a compatibility issue, and Pandora no longer works in 3.1.
Would be nice if they improved phone call volume - both regular and speaker - as was as the Battery life, which seems to be draining quicker than expected on 3GS iPhones.
The bottom two lines of Jared's post are a perfect example of a great reason to wait for Apple to release a final version of the OS, devs are still working on making their apps compatible at this point.
Hi. Thanks for the article. Glad they fixed the bug regarding copy/paste in the phone keypad screen (Apple bug # 6635217). I logged that a while back via Apple's bug reporter DB. Do you happen to know if they have fixed the bug whereby you cannot copy from a calendar event (Apple bug # 6645247) and where the calendar app doesn't obey the "Ignore Alarms" option from iCal for synced calendars (# 6599688)?
Does this mean AT&T is getting close to having MMS ready? Let's freaking hope so.
anyone know if they are going to allow more options in the calendar settings? Like a custom reoccurrance for the 3rd Tuesday every month?
Is it now possible to control the volume via both the handset and a bluetooth headset (when using the headset) whilst playing podcasts or music ??.
It's possible during phone calls, but not otherwise.
Hi yes I am definitely seeing major battery problems i have the 1st 2nd and 3rd generation and i don't use my first so I can't tell you on there but with my 2nd and 3rd its been horrible i have over 300 apps and every-time one switches to push i do notice a difference
@David Smith - The iPhone requires you to adjust volume on the headset itself just like when the phone is connected through a dock connector and you have to adjust the volume on the speakers themselves. I agree, it's a bit of a hassle sometimes to not be able to adjust volume on the phone.
On another note, hooray for pasting into the phone app!!
@Connor - When you enable Push Notifications your phone connects to Apple's push servers ONLY. Servers from the third party app writer communicate to Apple's server. For this reason, it doesn't matter how many apps you have currently pushing because you are always only connected to Apple's server. Adding another app to your pushed list will not affect your battery, it must be something else.
"Too bad I can't..I would like to have my crappy battery life back, at least it was stable…just **** battery."
Does that mean battery issues ARE addressed in 3.1?
Does anyone know if app developers have (or will have) access to Voice Control for their apps? That would make for some great possibilities.
@Chris - I would think the new TomTom application that will allow for hands free calling will have that new feature, no?
Has anyone found a worthy A2DP bluetooth headsets (stereo)? Nothing out there seems to work 100% with 3.0/GS.
Maybe new iPhone 3.1 on MMS and Tethering.....?? I hope they also fix the bug in the Messages Application. :'(
With OS 3, the number of pages you can fill with applications has been raised from 9 to 11. This gives you a maximum number of applications you can display of 180.
So three hundred Apps? Not unless you have different apps on each phone.
Unless you are jailbroken, in which case you can't blame Apple for your battery problems till you un-jailbreak and try it for a while.
@icebike I havent tried this myself but I heard that you can install more apps than the number of pages allow, because even if you can't see them you can still access them via Spotlight search.
@ Al, I think you are probably half-right and half-wrong when you say that "it doesn't matter how many apps you have currently pushing because you are always only connected to Apple's server. Adding another app to your pushed list will not affect your battery, it must be something else."
While you're right, there is probably only 1 connection between phone and server, if you're pushing out more notifications as opposed to less, I would think it would have to affect battery life. Similar is POP e-mail: the more you poll the server, the worse battery life. I would think the more times a connection is made with the push servers, the more there is going to be some affect on battery life. I could be wrong.
I think what I would like 2 see in the coming software update is the ability to b in landscape mode no matter in what screen I'm in... If yu take a look at the crappy blackberry storm from verizon wireless even from the home screen yu and flip it to the left or right no matter what screen yur in and it's in landscape mode...I love landscape mode...it's just sucks that yu can't have it in everythng
Hey! Mail to groups? A simple buttun first in a group list -"Mail group". Or am I stupid? Can you mail a group w/o adding each recepinent at the time?
I heard it's coming July 17th
has anyone noticed a bug on 3.1 where you add a contact and then try and text them and only the area code, or first 3 digits of the number go in the to field and it fails to send? the only way I can properly add contacts is if they text me first and then add the number that way.
I would like to see Calander upcoming event reminder alarm to be longer and lounder. Instead of a little "ding" I would like to see a ringtone type of alarm or even a reoccuring "ding" until you turn it off.
im not quite sure no body can figure out how to downgrade these things. its simple just restore to the earlier version. youll get error 1015 and the unplug your iphone hold both the hold button and the home button for 15 seconds then your phone will reset and be back to 3.0
I hope they will release an unlock for the betas so non developers will be able to use them
I agree with Eric, there are 21 million iPhone users, and 6 tones? 3 of those tones are stupid? Come on Apple, please fix this.
I totally agree with PDM777,(item27), the calendar alerts are pathetic and not up to the job. I do not know how, even if it is possible, to overcome this problem. Any ideas?.
Updates apple needs to consider:
- The Downloadable tones for text
- Be able to choose Name display instead of the phone number display from numbers not in your address book.
- 3G being turned on by safari automatically and programs like it WHEN its running and then automatically shutting 3G back off when it's done with it.
- Same as #3 but with location services.
And of course the big one for the next generation I-phone, a back that has battery compartment access to replace your battery like Nokia and I'm sure most other phones out there have.
I think in the Camera app it will have zoom, because apple is not aproving of the app Camera Zoom.
"Reportedly, the iPhone Paste feature [will be] "smart" enough to change alphanumeric phone numbers to pure numbers (i.e. 1-800-FLOWERS to 1-800-356-9377)."
It already is - just not in the phone app. Try it your self cut: cut/copy/paste is available when inputting a number into contacts. If you paste text-based phone number into the phone field for a contact, it will save it as the text based number. When you choose to dial, it will display the numerals that are dialed.
Does any one know how to Get the iphone to play Hulu on it? It goes to the page but will not play it How Come?
Hulu needs Flash. iPhone does not support Flash so no Hulu.
For those who installed OS 3.1. Can you know control your music trough the bluetooth headset?
@Edgar C: Yes you can. And last night I found you can voice search the Google Mobile App via Bluetooth as well.
i'm italian
i hope that they make the battery most longevity
with the 3.0 it' s a disaster
I thought people knew this... You can have all the apps you want with 3.0, but the ones you load after 11 pages are filled can be accessed only by using the search page.

I cannot agree anymore!!! The option to push an event without setting an alarm everytime. Even post a badge on the calander icon!!!
Calendar notifications need to be snooze-able, dangit!
In reference to the question about good stereo headset: I bought the Motorola S9-SD and they are great (even water resistant). Now that 3.1 will allow you to skip forward/backward using the headset, they'll be perfect.
Also, the S9-SD allows you to take phone calls as well, after I purchased them I started worrying that they were headphone only, but they do have a mic and apparently sounds pretty clear on the other end.
Anyone know why the 3G doesn't have voice commands? Is it really because of the faster processor in the 3GS, or is Apple just gimping the older handsets out of a cool feature?
SMS group send is fixed yes and goes as SMS. They've also enabled shift + backspace as a delete key. Nice
I just hope that they fix the wifi issues from 3.0 firmware and also I am mad that there are no new features in 3.1 for the iPod touch only for iPhone 3g and 3gs
I hope they fix the bluetooth problem where you can't control the volume on your headset. I just bought the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 and it is a paperweight because the volume can't be controlled on the IPHONE.
Outside of short battery life, my only major problem is the 0.4 second vibrate for emails/sms/etc. I have missed every single message today due to that!!
I'd like to see more options on my camera, background processing, flash for safari or at least an that has flash on it, complete iPhone landscape mode with the ability to lock the phone into portrait or landscape if you'd like, something similar sbsettinga on jailbroken phones, a picture in the background, something similar to the categoris app for jailbroken iPhones, ability to download all email attachments, like download pics and videos goes to picture app, and audio files goes to voice recorder save list, or even change the pictures app to media files so you can store pictures in a folder, videos in another, and audio in another, abilty to add folders in the pictures app so you can make your own albums instead of going through your phone and sorting it all out, augmented reality, more interactive phone features, such as have more clickabke areas on the home screen like clicking the status bar to show you information or a way to get to settigs faster. Ability to hide apps, Picturs next to contacts in address book, Bluetooth filesharing with other phones, password protect different apps, and background notifications and abilty for the iPhone to have a keyboard that allows vibration(probably would act az a sperate keyboard under the settings)... My iPhone 3gs is jailbroken and I have a whole theme plus apps running in the background, mtiple apps, and push, with all the settings feature on like Bluetooth and locations, my 3gs battery life has not lost much life as it did unjailbroken ao let's figure, all of these features are on my iPhone 3gs, and I can still use it qll day without charging and mind you I am Always on my phone, that's how I'm typing this
Im on the iphone 3g 3.0.1 and my battery life is shit. charged it two times today and its only 4 in the afternoon!
any ideas how to improve it? (except the obvious don't use it as much)
As long as they fix the ephoto saving problem i'll be a very happy 79 year old man
creepy peddo
Thanks to the jackass's at apple my phone is now laying in pieces on the floor.
I was still on 2.0.2 and updated to 3.0 and the damn phone ran worse than before and the battery ran down about twice as fast.
I tried to restore my phone to 2.0.2 and it failed,finally after spending 30 minutes on the phone with apple I got so pissed I threw the iphone into the wall and stomped it until it was nothing but rubble.
Why cant those dumb f*cks at Apple pull their heads out of their moms pouch and release updates that work!
Well its official! Apple needs to ask Bill Gates how to create software updates that work!
updated to 3.1 and the phone runs like a dead turtle.
Now when I go on youtube the videos load slower than before and the fidelity of the picture has suffered to such a great extent that I can no longer tell whos screwing who!
In addition to this (as though this werent enough) I can no longer browse porn on my iphone on topheavy and other big boob sites.
Maybe I'm wrong but i thought updates were supposed to IMPROVE the performace of whatever device they are applied to wether it be a car,computer or my dick.
I WONT be buying another iphone,I think I'll look to blackberry next time.
Please someone to help me with my iphone problem.
Im visit from Germany in the great USA.
I was to the beach with friends and met a sexy girl and she pushed me from the yacht.
I fell overint water,now my iphone cant power up,so now i have no sexy girl und no phone.
I have left it int the sun so the rays may help the process of vaporing my moistness,but still the iphone is black.
please for your help so I may again use this device.
While most people tend to debate the comic merits of Shemp vs. Curly with great bias,it must be pointed out that upon closer inspection Shemp was in his own right a very deft slapstick comic in his ownright.
Yes,Curly had terrfic timing,wildly manic routines and his "N'yuk,N'yuk" stooge cry, but Shemp also had his special moments.
Who among us can forget his "wet haircut"?,everytime Moe took a pipe wrench or 2x4 to his skull,Shemps hair would fly forward in front of his eyes and he would utter his eeeb eebb eebb!
What about the classic Shemp routine with the power saw across the babys skull? Could Curly truly have brought anything more to that skit?
Dont get me wrong,Curly was truly a gifted artist,why to this day I still act out some of his wildly moronic acts at socially inappropriate times at work and among friends,but every once in a while I'll find my thoughts drifting to something Shemp had done and pretty soon I'm laughing loudly to myself while uttering,"Boy that crazy Shemp!"
This being said,I must confess I have little affection for Joe Besser and his "big sissy" routine.
Besser was never Stoogeworthy and should never have been allowed to soil the groups sterling reputation for bring us top notch entertainment,but I'll leave that to another day.
I am glad though that someone created this wonderfull site devoted to our beloved Stooges.
does anyone know if there is a bug with putting people on hold and adding others to a conversation

IRONTON, Ohio (WSAZ) -- Two people have been arrested in Ironton on multiple counts of a secret drug indictment into the sale of cocaine and oxycdone.

KILLEEN, Texas- A charity that collected $1 million after the Fort Hood shooting rampage says it's still working to distribute the money.
Officials for the Central Texas-Fort Hood chapter of the Association of the U.S. Army tell the Killeen Daily Herald that they worry about "unscrupulous individuals" trying to profit off the 2009 massacre that left 13 dead and more than 30 wounded.
The charity won't say how it spent the money or how many people received money. A spokesman said the charity hopes to dissolve the fund and distribute any remaining funds by the end of this year.
One wounded victim and the widow of a man killed tell the newspaper they've received help with various expenses.
The gunman in the massacre, Nidal Hasan, was sentenced to death in August.
