Ever since I had my first AM/FM broadcast radio, I've always gone to sleep listening to music on the radio. I don't know how it started or why I started doing it but it is a habit that I have continued to this day. I actually wake up if the electricity goes out and the radio goes off! Besides listening to the radio while falling asleep, I also like to turn the knob and see what all is out there to listen to. Growing up, I remember my father having a scanner around the house to listen to Fire Department and Ambulance communications. The first scanner I can remember was one of the cool old Regency crystal units with the big red LEDs to indicate which channel was active. At that point we lived in New Orleans, a city where there was always something going on; it was great fun to listen to such a busy fire department and to watch the red lights flash in trail as the radio scanned through the few channels it had (16 at the most, maybe less, I just don't remember now). I recall my father going through some crystal controlled scanners with progressively more channels (and smaller LEDs…), an early non-crystal scanner (still with the LEDs…) until finally ending up with a Radio Shack Pro-2006.
I grew up in a military family. Both my father's and mother's families lived here in Georgia and my father was stationed in California, Maryland, and Louisiana before he retired so several "cross country" trips were made during that time. I always remember my father having a CB radio in the car or truck. For some reason, I was always attracted to the CB radio. As a child, I had my own toy radio, made out a shoe box, some spare knobs, and an old microphone. It was nothing fancy, but I loved it and always had fun with it. Having forgotten many toys, it really is one of the toys that I have always remembered. The interest in CB radio no doubt helped lead to other interests down the line.
Having grown up around both the military and radios, it was probably inevitable that the two interests would at some point converge. Around the time I first got on the internet, I also discovered just what the Pro-2006 was capable of. It didn't take long to find email groups such as MilCom and Flacom and to meet those who mentored me into moving beyond public safety monitoring and into the hobby of military monitoring. I am very thankful to Larry Van Horn, Al Stern, Paul Cobb, Bob Langley, and Bill Collins among others who will remain nameless because of their lines of work. I apologize profusely if I have left anyone out.
Around the time I graduated from college, I became interested in amateur radio through a friend and his father: Ralph Quinn, KF4HII and Ralph Quinn, KE4TQG, now W4REQ. Once I became an amateur radio operator, I became interested in emergency communications and event communications. Through event communications I learned net procedures and radio techniques that were a necessity when I did volunteer communications during the 1997 Indy Lights Savannah Grand Prix and during Hurricane Floyd in 1999. During the Savannah Grand Prix, I worked in the communications center from the day the site opened to the last day of competition, helping coordinate everything from administration to security to track workers to "port-a-suck" trucks for the port-a-johns. During Hurricane Floyd I was a communications volunteer in the Chatham County Emergency Management Agency's Emergency Operations Center with Amateur Radio Emergency Services (ARES). Other amateur radio operators besides the Quinns that I have learned much from have been David Carter, KC4WSD, Ed Woodson, NC5S, Stacy Aaron WA4IDS, and Kurt Hoffman, N4CVF. I learned and still learn something a little bit different from each, from operational techniques to electronics and technology.
All of this became of great importance in 2001 when I quit my job in retail pharmacy and entered the field of communications. I have no doubt that my scanning and monitoring experiences as well as my amateur radio and event communications experience have made me better at my job. As opposed to a technically minded radio hobbyist, I have always considered myself more of an operationally minded radio hobbyist. All of the operating techniques that I learned and absorbed through the radio hobby come into play every day that I go to work.
In the past, I was a member of both the Amateur Radio Club of Savannah and the Coastal Amateur Radio Society, serving as newsletter editor for both at various times. In 2013, I decided not to renew my membership in an amateur radio club because my schedule prevents me from attending most meetings and activities. I don't like the idea of being an absentee member that doesn't contribute; in essence I don't want to be an empty number. Out of necessity, because I can't put up a permanent station in Brunswick, most of my amateur radio activity consists of mobile or portable operating. It's an aspect of the amateur radio hobby I've come to enjoy. I often joke that it's like taking a knife to a gunfight but it really does teach patience and perseverance. One of these days I might even take up QRP.
I have also always been interested in motor sports. I started off watching NASCAR because my family watched it. I soon became interested in Indy Car racing after coming across a record of Indy 500 radio broadcast selections; CART during the 1990's was some of my favorite racing ever. It was truly a test of driver and team skills with it's mix of road, street, short oval, and long oval courses. Eventually I became interested in Sports Car racing, especially prototype racing; I really got interested during the late 1980's watching cars like the Nissan GTP ZXs and the Gurney Toyota Eagles. Around the same time, I also became interested in Formula 1 racing, really getting interested in it in the early 1990's as Williams' mighty FW-14 and FW-14B became the high point of technology using among other things an active suspension. In my opinion, the quality of NASCAR eroded over the years with cars becoming more and more similar to each other; I know I miss the days when you could tell one make from another at any distance simply by shape. I also miss the characters that NASCAR used to have; these days the drivers worry too much about a corporate image. These days, even though my interest in NASCAR has dropped off I still enjoy watching almost any form of motor racing.

A comment that just came in to an older post, "Surface Religion," sneers, "At their mystical core all religions agree? So I am actually in agreement with feminist witches, new agers, devil worshipers, and marxists and didn't even know it?"
This language exposes offensive bias so obvious that no more need be stated about that, but it raises a point I made that needs expanding.
What is the mystical core of religions not recognized by many of their practitioners? It is their efforts to direct people toward the spiritual core of the universe, what we call God. Each religion attempts to explain this unexplainable Source of all, this Formlessness that is God. It can do so only by using images grasped by our senses in a concrete physical world. We focus on the concrete imagery of our religion, which is to say, its mythology, but these symbols are not the core of the religion.
When we stay with the images instead of recognizing the larger Reality they point to, we slide toward us versus them thinking: Our religion, our language, our customs are right. Theirs are strange, abnormal, and wrong.
It's the basis of human conflict.

I was offensive? I was just trying to make my point dramatically. Of course we can't get all religions to agree. That's wishful thinking.

Isaiah 9:1-7 (ESV)
9 But there will be no gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
2 The people who walked in darkness

24 Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ's afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church, 25 of which I became a minister according to the stewardship from God that was given to me for you, to make the word of God fully known, 26 the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ.…Read More

So no one stayed with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers. 2 And he wept aloud, so that the Egyptians heard it, and the household of Pharaoh heard it. 3 And Joseph said to his brothers, "I am Joseph! Is my father still alive?" But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence.

Who is there to harm you if you prove zealous for what is good? But even if you should suffer for the sake of righteousness, you are blessed. AND DO NOT FEAR THEIR INTIMIDATION, AND DO NOT BE TROUBLED, but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness and reverence; and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. For it is better, if God should will it so, that you suffer for doing what is right rather than for doing what is wrong.
True Religion (James 1:1-27, 2:14-17)
As we continue in our series through the Word of God we come to the Epistle of James. Scholars agree that the writer is the brother of Jesus (Matt 13:55). James became the leader of the Church at Jerusalem after the departure of Peter in Acts 12:17. He was the spokesman at the Council of Jerusalem (Acts 15:13-21), and was a "pillar" to whom Paul reported his missionary experience (Gal 2:2,9, Acts 21:18-19)
Notice is verse 1 how James introduces himself as a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ. Never in this epistle does James "drop names". What do I mean? Well, James grew up with Jesus.…Read More
Some More on Christian Armour
Some More on Christian Armour –
Look closely at the label to see whether the armour you wear is the workmanship of God or not. There are many imitations on the market nowadays. It is Satan's game, if he cannot keep the sinner satisfied in his naked, lustful state, to coax him into some flimsy thing or other that by itself will neithe do him good nor Satan harm. Perhaps it is church atteendance, or good works, or some self-imposed penance by which he intends to impress both God and man. Do such impersonators believe in God? Oh, they hope they are not infidels. But what their armour is, or how they came by it, and whether it will hold up in an evil day, they never stop to question.…Read More
Ayn Rand: The Failure of Mind as God
From my blog
Ayn Rand (1905-1982) was the great white hope of atheists determined to commandeer rationality. Her philosophy, "Objectivism," was unique in its separation from the sensualists and its rejection of relativism. She did, nevertheless, hold man's "own happiness as the moral purpose of his life," and thus hearkens to John Stuart Mill.
Rand was influenced by Aristotle, Aquinas, and Nietzsche; from Aristotle she took the rational premise, "A is A." She vehemently attacked every type of gnosticism and every form of empiricism, refuting the notion of what she called "the primacy of consciousness." The primacy of consciousness is the cornerstone of postmodern thought: the notion that man's conscious perception defines reality. Thus in this arena, Rand and Dabney were allies.…Read More

I can see now that my initial attempt at a definition of digital literacy was too narrow and that my academic librarian bias is all too evident in the narrow focus on "information". To remind myself to look beyond just one aspect of digital literacy I created this peacock to try to pull together and visualize Doug Belshaw's elements of digital literacies combined with some of the concepts discussed in Howard Rheingold's webinar on Literacies of Attention.
Revised definition – Digital literacies are a complex spectrum of abilities that enable an individual to responsibly disseminate and gain knowledge in a digital environment by being able to find, use, analyze, synthesize, explain, and create tools and resources. Key to these abilities is the confidence to quickly learn and adapt to using a wide variety of tools and resources in many different and constantly changing formats and situations.

The grocery store was passing out free samples of ham and pineapple on little wooden sticks.
Little Chefs hates both so we were surprised when he ran up to them screaming "I want that! It's on a stick! Hahaha, I like food on a stick!"
Momma Chef quickly found the shelf with the wooden skewers and threw them in her cart. :-)
And by golly, so far it's been working like a charm at every meal! As long as it will stay on a skewer... Little Chef will gobble it down!

Is Roosevelt Seattle's Best Kept Secret?
A quick internet search of 'best neighborhoods in Seattle' will reveal a ton of recommendations for the city's more well-known locales. Capitol Hill, Ballard, Fremont, Queen Anne, they're all popular choices for Seattleites who think they know where it's at.
But what about Roosevelt? Why doesn't this incredible corner of town receive more praise?
Afterall, in Roosevelt, we truly have it all; an award winning school, some of the best shopping in town, easy access to a couple of the city's most coveted parks, some of the best bars and restaurants, and some of the best places to live!
So why does it seem that Roosevelt is missing from Seattle's neighborhood blogosphere?
We're not exactly sure, but we're going to change it!
Is Roosevelt Seattle's best kept-secret?! You betcha, and here's why:
One of the State's Best Schools, Roosevelt High!
Not only does Roosevelt High boast a number of notable Alumni (which include world-famous musicians and a fewNobel Prize winners), it also has the city's only full-time drama program, a multiple award-winning music program, and numerous state championships to its name. Overall, Roosevelt is ranked 6th in the state and 332nd in the nation, making it one of the best public high schools in the city!
Relatively Low Commute Times
The image above is of the Roosevelt corridor, a well known arterial route through Seattle that's utilized by both public transportation and individual commuters. The Roosevelt neighborhood has long been known as a transportation hub for Seattle, allowing urbanites to quickly travel north and south through town. Plus, Seattle's department of transportation recently unveiled plans to revamp the corridor and institute a Rapid transit program to help commuters get where they need to go even faster. The project will connect Downtown, South Lake Union, Eastlake, U District, Roosevelt, Maple Leaf and Northgate into a single rapid-ride route. Soon, denizens of Roosevelt will enjoy even lower commute times relative to the rest of Seattle.
The Parks, Baby!
We've mentioned them before, but it bears repeating. One of the things that make Roosevelt such a fun neighborhood, and such a wonderful place to live, is the access and proximity to Green Lake, Cowen park, and Ravenna Park. These parks are great for both outdoor recreation with a group, or for a nice quiet stroll to clear your mind. As a result, Roosevelt provides residents with both urban convenience alongside a natural setting. With this much green, Roosevelt lets you live in Seattle without every feeling like you live in a massive urban environment.
Can you say Walkability?
C'mon, it's not that hard to say! Seriously though, Roosevelt is one of the more walkable neighborhoods in Seattle, with a walkscore of 81! Most of your errands and daily stops can be reached on foot, adjacent neighborhoods are easily accessible via public transportation, and it's incredibly bike-friendly with no major hills to speak of. If you're looking to live in a neighborhood where you don't need a car, Roosevelt is it!
The Culinary Scene
The Roosevelt neighborhood may be Seattle's best kept-secret, but the food here sure isn't. Did you know that within a few city blocks you can try different foods that hail from completely different corners of the planet? Seriously, so many culinary cultures are well represented in Roosevelt, which certainly adds to the neighborhood's secret specialty. Here are a few of our favorite spots that are just around the corner from Eleanor:
- Rain City Burgers
- An Nam Pho
- Sushi Tokyo
- Pies N Pints
- Wayward Vegan Cafe
- Salvatore Ristorante Italiano
- India Bistro
- Casa Patrone
- Marcello Ristorante
- Thaprachan Thai Cuisine
The People Here are Really Special
There is a certain kind of friendliness that exists in Roosevelt. You may have heard of the Seattle Freeze, but we here to tell you this particular social phenomenon doesn't exist in Roosevelt. We're not exactly sure why that is, but this neighborhood can feel like a small town in many ways. There's a true tight-knit community here, and the high school, along with its attending families, help build upon the neighborhood camaraderie. Plus, there's a very well-organized neighborhood association that goes out of its way to host community events and provide neighborhood news. People love living here, and it shows in the way they treat one another. Roosevelt is the type of neighborhood where you can enjoy the broader aspects of living in a city, while still living in a contained enough neighborhood where you get to know all of your neighbors.
Plenty of Available Places to Live
Is Roosevelt Seattle's best-kept secret? Well, after this blog post, probably not! The cat's outta the bag! When it comes to living here, there's no reason this neighborhood should be overlooked. Capitol Hill, Fremont, Wallingford…they're all great, but why live in the hustle and bustle of those oversaturated neighborhoods when you can live mere minutes away in a nicer, more relaxing neighborhood?
Plus, in those neighborhoods, you're going to be hard pressed to find a suitable spot to live. But in Roosevelt, there are plenty of great places, like Eleanor. Located in the Heart of Roosevelt, Eleanor is a brand new building that provides our residents with an amazingly comfortable place to live alongside access to Seattle's most coveted neighborhood and beyond. Here, you have the best of Seattle; the schools, the people, the food, the accommodations…you name it, you've got it in Roosevelt.

MWC 15 Special
During the past days and weeks I received a lot of questions from you about when I expect selling the new i-mate devices (namely i-mate Smartphone3 aka HTC Typhoon and i-mate PDA2K aka HTC Blue Angel) and as far as I can tell you today it will takes a little bit longer.
While the Smartphone3 is on sale in several Orange countries (but still not in all), the HTC Blue Angel (also known as Xda III or T-Mobile III) isn't on sale anywhere.
So the earliest release dates I got yet are end of September - not that bad at all.
After Orange's introduction of the C500 (HTC Typhoon) two weeks ago in UK, Orange France followed now with their announcement to introduce therecently announced Sagem myS-7:
The sleek, lightweight Smartphone with tri-band GSM/GPRS technology has been designed for professional and personal entertainment use. The myS-7 enables customers to manage personal information and synchronize their e-mail, calendar and contacts with Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 either via a PC connection or via seamless over-the-air synchronization with Microsoft Exchange Server.
Opera Software has announced that its Opera smartphone browser will soon become available for Microsoft Windows Mobile based Smartphones as well. Windows Mobile is a completely new platform for Opera which was available for Symbian based phones only so far.
Friends, just a short information that I'm back from my summer-holidays where I was in
France. I had a great time there - first in Brittany and later in Paris. If you never was in France, especially in Brittany - it's absolutely worth to visit!
As posted earlier in one of my comments, I've staid offline most of the time even if two local carriers have GPRS roaming agreements with my home carrier.
No, I simply enjoyed the time with my girlfriend, the nature, the "vin rouge" and lots of "moules frites" :-) and downloaded my personal and public E-Mails once a day (mostly in the evening while I've watched the Olympic games) only.
Over the last few months we've heard of viruses developed as Proof of Concept. Not really meant to do any harm nor intended to spread into the wild, these Proof of Concept viruses are supposed to be non-lethal. There were several that were developed, one for the Windows Mobile platform and one for the Series 60 Symbian platform. The one that is spreading right now is the one for the Series 60 Symbian platform called "Caribe."
Apparently, the "Caribe" virus has been released into the wild here in the Philippines. And while it really takes a careless person to really get this thing installed into a device, it seems that a lot are falling victim to it...
Arne has been quite busy with so many things lately and I'm sure he's getting
a well deserved vacation this week. I hope he gets the time to relax and be with his friends for a while.
I'll try to fill you in more these coming
days though as I too have found myself extraordinarily busy this past week. Here are some things to come though which I'm sure will be worth reading about.
Dear friends of PPCW.Net! Just want to let you know that I will be in vacation from tonight until end of next week and therefore updates might be more limited. While Carlo stays online to take care about PPCW.Net and DubWireless stays online for you to take care about the Forum I will stay (or at least I will try to) offline during my one week summer holidays in France.
London - 18th August 2004. Orange today announced the commercial availability of the
SPV C500 - the world's smallest Smartphone. Orange has driven down the cost of manufacturing, as well as the cost of components within the phone, in order to
provide its customers with a stylish, functional device that offers best value for money.
The SPV C500 will be available in the UK for under £79.99 from Orange Retail stores, signaling Orange's continued commitment to its Signature phone portfolio, its series of devices designed to make it easy for customers to access advanced services, such as Photo messaging, email and internet access. On Your Plan 120, the phone is available for free and is expected to be one of the
hottest-buys from Orange this autumn.
Are you or a friend of you are/is a developer with some good PHP/MySQL experiences and you know how to handle RSS feeds, you have some spare time and you want to create something great ;-) while supporting PPCW.Net also?
Than I would kindly ask you to contact me since I'm working on a project for PPCW.Net where I need your support.
Please contact me through this form and in best case you might want to give me a draft overview about your experience. As always, this is nothing to make you rich but for sure to make you famous. ;-)
Since T-Mobile announced it's MDA III earlier this year, the interest for this new Pocket PC Phone Edition increases day by day. To be clear again - like the MDAs before, also this MDA is manufactured by HTC Taiwan but - and this is important to know - HTC developed two different versions: the GSM version called "Blue Angel" and the CDMA version called "Harrier".
While the Harrier supports CDMA as the only data option (according to the FCC information), the Blue Angel supports GSM/GPRS WAN, Wi-Fi b W-LAN and Bluetooth PAN data connections. I've recently received some exclusive screenshots of all the different access methods:
DeveloperOne, maker of great Pocket PC and Smartphone utilities like Agenda Fusion (for Pocket PC) and CodeWallet (for Pocket PC and Smartphone) recently released its Power Calendar as a 2.5 pre-release version.
While the original calendar application is "good" enough to view your synchronized applications, Power Calendar adds much more value.
The Orange SPV C500, today's smallest and lightest Windows Mobile Smartphone, is the state of the art candy bar Smartphone and HTC's latest addition (introduced as HTC Typhoon). Finally it seems to become available from Orange (see link here) and my fellow MVP Paul over at MoDaCo gave it a complete review.
So if you live in an Orange country you definitely should give it a read (as you are the first to pick it up) and if you don't live in an Orange country today you should even give it a read also because it seems to become available all over the world soon. ;-)
Today is my/our day - the international day for lefthanders! (-: You think it's off-topic? No, it isn't because using a Pocket PC is harder for us lefties because the up/down scrollbar is on the right side of the screen and therefore it happens that you hide the rest of the screen with your beloved left hand (-; - if you scroll up and down, using the stylus.
But the GOOD news is Motorola had us lefthanders in mind when they developed the MPx Pocket PC Phone Edition. If you use it landscape, the navigation pad is on the right side which means you can simultaneous use the navigation pad (right hand) while holding and using the stylus (left hand). Right-handers can't use the navigation pad and the stylus simultaneous... :-p
Through the years, we've seen and heard a lot of rumors about an Apple PDA and even smart phone but what the The Register is reporting today sounds far more than just a rumor:
Apple has filed for a European design trademark which may provide a tantalising glimpse of the company's long-awaited tablet computer.
The filing, made in May this year but only published this week, covers a "handheld computer" and contains sketches of what look like an iBook screen minus the body of the computer.

Yesterday I received a miniSD card, thanks to a friendly supporter of PPCW.Net. Right now,
it's hard to get hands too these cards since they are still pretty new and not that common but this will change sooner we might expect. It's the same evolution
we had with the CF card/SD card change before and since mobile devices like PDAs and now mobile phones also needs more and more storage space these type of cards
becomes more interesting because they are smaller than CF cards while they are fully compatible too the SD standard.
The card I've received is the SanDisk 256 MB miniSD card and to be honest - reviewing a storage card isn't that easy.
On Microsoft's Pocket PC Phone Edition sky, two new stars are going to appear
(sooner or later): HTC's Blue Angel (better known as T-Mobile MDA III or Qtek 9090) and Motorola's MPx Pocket PC Phone Edition.
While the Blue Angel is following the slider concept we already know from mobile phones, I would call the MPx a kind of convertible (known from Windows XP Tablet
PCs) which means it can be used as a kind of clam-shell mobile phone or stylus based Pocket PC but also as a kind of keyboard driven "micro-subnotebook".
If you are using Apples AirPort Express access point (I've recently reviewed) and you want to get it working with WEP encryption you might face the one or the other problem.
Indeed there seems to be a serious problem in the combination WEP encryption and DHCP functionality. While DHCP works great without any encryption enabled (doesn't
matter if you use 40 or 128 bit), DHCP isn't working anymore if you have enabled WEP encryption which means your connected Notebook or Pocket PC won't receive an
IP address and therefore it can not access the LAN, WAN or Internet.
This happened for me on weekend when I've fine-tuned the different profiles you can create with the AirPort Express. While my general test profile is
without encryption (just for the quick and dirty access/test) my regular profiles includes WEP for sure.
High Tech Computer Corp. (today announced that total revenues for July 2004 reached
NT$ 2,038 million. HTC also announced it's new Smartphone, is the world's smallest Smartphone, has been shipping since August. It will be sold in Europe, US and Asia.
HTC today announced the total revenues for July 2004 reached NT$ 2,038 million, and grew 19.17 percent on a year-over-year basis. Revenues for January through
July 2004 totaled NT$17,020 million, an increase of 57.50 percent over the same period in 2003.
"In the first half of 2004, HTC growing momentum mainly came from the popularity of PDA phone, but Smartphone shipment volume kept in a low base," said HTC.
The Motorola MPx220 appears on Motorola's product page - finally and therefore it seems we come closer to the release (even if I can not confirm any release dates now).
Motorola states that you can sign up to get update information when its available. Also, you can be the first 1.000 people to buy and register the new MPx220 and get a free Motorola Bluetooth Headset. 8O
While the product page doesn't tells any news it's great to surf it to get a better clue of one of the finest Smartphones, available (soon).

This news has been going around for a while now. But finally we can all try out MSN Web Messenger. I went to the website after seeing Paul of MoDaCo sporting a new MSN Messenger icon. So what is MSN Web Messenger? This is what the MSN Web Messenger homepage had to say about it.
MSN Web Messenger lets you talk online and in real-time with friends and family using just a web browser! Use it on any shared computer - at school, at work, at a friend's house or anywhere you can't install the MSN Messenger software.

Today - after a long time of waiting - I received my previously ordered Apple AirPort Express Wi-Fi access point.
Apple's AirPort Express is interesting for several reasons:
Cerience Corporation yesterday announced the immediate availability of RepliGo PDF Mobilizer. The software makes it effortless for companies to deploy their entire library of PDF documentation to Palm OS 5, Windows Mobile Pocket PC and

Smartphones sustain more abuse as compared to Pocket PCs. Normally we

Alexandre of Mobinaute.com, today uploaded his latest review of the Motorola MPx Pocket PC Phone Editon which ended up with 200 detailed pictures and 2 videos (not to mention the complete review is more than 40 pages long 8O)
So if you plan to buy the MPx this review - even if it is in French - is definitely worth to read; if you don't plan to buy one it's worth anyway to know what you might miss.
We've already seen some previews of early Motorola MPx220 samples but so far non of them have mentioned the one or the other hidden feature of the Motorola MPx220 Smartphone and while I'm still working on my own complete review, I think it's time to talk about these features already.
Please note that these features might not be available in all the Beta ROM versions out there right now (for instance the Camera Self-Portrait feature disappeared in one ROM version I had) but it's pretty likely that it will appear in the final release.

This National Imagery Service project has the potential to put in place a national solution that will improve access and lower costs for all participants.
- Brian Maloney, Ministry of Natural Resources Ontario
The innovation I've seen in your software, in terms of the fast tiling system, web map service chaining, web upload, register and activate process to refresh tiles, the option for direct upload by imagery suppliers/contractors, and the lightning performance speed are all aspects that can directly benefit our service and would also be of great benefit to any subsequent national system. Such a service in place for all Canadian jurisdictions would be ground-breaking.
- John Potter, Chair, Saskatchewan Geospatial Imagery Collaborative
We believe that CubeWerx products have not only solved a lot of our operations problems and inefficiencies but also provide us with a competitive advantage over similar web-based imagery ordering systems.

Tovah Klein, PhD
Director, Barnard College Center for Toddler Development
Siegal Beachwood Facility
26500 Shaker Blvd, Cleveland, OH 44122
What makes a child succeed or wander into an unfulfilled adulthood? New research indicates that the seeds for adult success are often planted in the toddler years, ages 2-5. Dr. Klein runs the Barnard College Center for Toddler Development, the laboratory at the forefront of understanding toddler behavior and development. In How Toddlers Thrive, Dr. Klein cracks the code on how to help your toddler grow into a happy and successful child and adult, while helping you and your toddler live more happily together, every day. Her key research and firsthand work with thousands of toddlers explains why the toddler brain is best suited to laying the foundation for success-drivers such as resilience, self-reliance, self-regulation, and empathy. And why its up to you to instill these key skills in your toddler during this crucial time or risk them falling behind when they enter school at age 5. How Toddlers Thrive explains why the toddler years are different than any other period during childhood, what is happening in children's brains and bodies at this age that makes their behavior so turbulent, and why your reaction to their behavior (the way you speak to, speak about, and act towards your toddler) holds the key to making your life together smoother today, as well as to setting your child up for success in the future. Dr. Klein offers all the advice and information she has provided to parents, including celebrities like Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick, at the Barnard Center for Toddler Development and helps us all understand why small things really do become the seeds of success and happiness for a lifetime.

Hanoi Daewoo Hotel
This five-star luxury hotel may be in the business district, but it's certainly not all work and no play here. Head to the tropical Palm Court Lobby Bar for a drink at the end of a busy day, or luxuriate in one of its Jacuzzis or large outdoor pool. The suites are palatial, and range from spacious Family Rooms to magnificently equipped Senator and Presidential suites.
Insider Tip: The extravagant three-bedroom Royal Suite has floor to ceiling glass windows from which you can take in views of the city, the nearby park and the hotel swimming pool.

By: Gabriel El Dorado (Three Beers) –
If I could open this review with a loud and aggressive guitar riff, I would because that would embody the spirit and zest of Hesher but seeing as how my amps do not go to 11(if you don't get that stop reading now and do something physically destructive to yourself) my scant musical ability would result in the inevitable Darfur guitar solos.
With much of the film's tones and attitude being derived from its original inspiration, heavy metal music and culture, Hesher is a film that has not been compromised by Hollywood stereotypes and formulas. Instead, it stays true to itself and the aura Joseph Gordon-Levitt creates (he plays Hesher, just FYI) and doesn't really seem to care if you find that repulsive or bizarre.
Nothing screams anarchy like stick figure tattoos.
The film follows T.J.(Devin Brochu) and his father Paul Forney (Rainn Wilson) as they are recuperating from the loss of T.J.'s mother/Paul's wife. With Paul spending most of his time wallowing and swallowing (I know, I know, impressive rhyme scheme) pills, the Forney's have moved into Paul's mothers, Madeleine's( Piper Laurie) house, so she can help with T.J. and support Paul. However, as expected, T.J. spends most of his time outside the house getting into random mischief, leading to the eventual introduction of Hesher (Joseph-Gordon Levitt).
After T.J. inadvertently exposes the spot where Hesher was squatting, Hesher moves in with the family. This explanation might be a tad misleading; Hesher literally appears at the house (very phantomlike) and just moves in without asking. However, no one seems to care or is curious about the grungy individual now occupying the couch in his underwear. I found it weird, but none of the character's seemed to mind, making it seem even weirder. The rest of film follows the family as they try to come to terms with the loss while simultaneously interacting with and managing Hesher.
Judging by the picture, I'd say Hesher is a writer
A Toast
…to Joseph Gordon Levitt and his turn as Hesher. Without Hesher, the film would be awful. He dominates every scene he is in and responsible for any entertainment value. The best part of the character is the unpredictability. Just when you may think Hesher will soften and doing something remotely humane, he pisses on your expectations. He refuses to be house-broken, which is admirable. Hesher is a freak show and as long as we can watch from a safe distance, freak shows are immensely entertaining. Why do you think TLC is thriving? It only starts to suck once that freak show is related to or knows you. Joseph Gordon Levitt is one of the best young actors (possibly overall but let's not go crazy) in the game right now and he can now check off iconic cult-performance off his to-do list (which they totally have, saw it on REELZ Channel).
Beer Two
What I am about to say is going to cause a shit storm of controversy. Natalie Portman is a very overrated actress (BUT SHE JUST WON BEST ACTRESS, HOW CAN YOU EVEN SAY THAT?!?!). Well, enraged hypothetical reader, Portman typically plays some form of wounded, vulnerable female, who ALWAYS ends up crying (think back to a film where you didn't see Portman cry; she is essentially a sorority girl on her 21st). In Hesher, Portman's character falls flat compared to Gordon Levitt's, creating this emptiness where solid support should have been. Luckily nothing spectacular was needed due to Gordon Levitt's Hesher being so intriguing, but it would have been nice if she wasn't so obnoxiously dull. This could be due to screenwriting, but still Portman does her best to make a bland character borderline excruciating.
Also, when will Hollywood stop casting attractive girls to play unnoticed losers? No audience member is ever going to fall for that (Not even Michael Bay enthusiasts) and putting her in sweat shirts and weird glasses are not going to cover up the fact that she will always be smoking hot. Don't try to trick me movie magic, my libido is never wrong.
See, not wrong.
Beer Three
Hesher(as expected) is completely obsessed with its main character, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but they are called 'films' and not 'characters' for a reason( I know it's a cute slogan, leave me alone). Outside of the eccentric lead, the film really has no strong points. This is a major flaw and the main reason why most of the critics (pompous assholes, where do they get off?) gave it bad reviews and they definitely have an argument. However, I am not sure I mentioned how awesome Hesher was, which is why I could overlook the weaker points and appreciate the film for what it really was.
Yeah, it's not perfect but neither are you, tubby internet nerd, so if you enjoy the brazen metal culture then Hesher is definitely worth the viewing. There are some emotionally affecting and introspective moments that are the real hidden nuggets of the film if you can get past the antics of Hesher, making it worthwhile for non-metal enthusiasts. However, if you are easily offended and are not huge fan of bizarre characters, then don't talk to me because I can tell we will have nothing in common.
Bonus Drinking Game
Take a Drink: every time metal plays.
Take a Drink: every time Hesher sets something on fire
Take a Drink: every time T.J. gets bullied or interacts with the bully.
Chug a Beer: when Hesher chugs a beer.
Chug a Beer: when Hesher uses a completely inappropriate story for a life metaphor.

Written by Janae Babineaux, prouds AmeriCorps Member serving on the Albemarle Foundation Team at Merrydale Elementary School.
On Tuesday evening students, faculty, and family gathered for Merrydale's first annual Literacy Night. A variety of Christmas-themed stations were placed around the common area for students to visit and participate in fun activities. After making their way around to each station, students were able to head into the cafeteria where they received snacks and a free book!
Corps Member Silas Miller waits anxiously for the kids to arrive! He held down the "Oh Christmas Tree" station where students were able to decorate an ornament to take home!
Corps members Kimberly Peterson and Amber Curry set up their station where students built fluency skills by practicing how to read and follow directions. After completing all instructions the kids walked away with a yummy reindeer cookie that they had created!
Corps members Zach Smith and Cassidy Bowers created Merrydale's afterschool program World Cultures Club, so they designed a station for students to learn about how Christmas is celebrated all over the world! The students also got to test what they learned with a fun game afterwards!
Shown here is part of the 5th grade team at Merrydale- corps members Kimberly Ratte and Tavidee Hoskins have a fun activity at their station for students to practice sequencing!
Santa made a special appearance for the event to greet kids and hand out candy canes. Featured here are Merrydale Principal Mrs. Boudreaux-Allen and Vice Principal Mrs. Lumar.
Literacy Night was a huge success! Making learning fun is one of the best ways we can #makebetterhappen!

First aid tip: first aid for chemical burns
There are a wide variety of chemicals and substances which can cause chemical burns. These can range from household chemicals such as bleach, cleaning products, pesticides to strong industrial chemicals used in the workplace. Chemical burns can be incredibly serious as the chemical will keep damaging the skin and tissue until it is removed.
Generally, burns can be classified into three different categories of severity.
1) Superficial – this is when only the top layer of skin has been damaged. These are the most minor burns. Often the only sign is a reddening of the skin. Minor sunburn falls into this category of burns.
2) Partial thickness – these burns cause blisters in the skin due to the damaged tissue releasing fluid.
3) Full thickness – this is the most serious type of burn. In a full thickness burn, every layer of the skin has been affected and the underlying bone, muscle or fat may have also been damaged.
Chemical burns nearly always are partial thickness, and in severe cases can be full thickness. Hence, prompt first aid intervention is incredibly important.
First aid for chemical burns
Step 1: Check for any dangers to yourself. The chemicals that caused the casualty's injuries could also pose a danger to you. Try to establish what caused the burn and how safe the chemicals are. If you are in an enclosed area, move the casualty outside or open windows to prevent the build up of fumes. Wear disposable gloves.
Step 2: Cool the burn with copious running water for at least 15 – 20 minutes. Ensure that you do not come into contact with the water used to cool the burn as it may contain the harmful chemical.
Step 3: If any clothing has come into contact with the chemical, it should be removed providing it isn't sticking to the burn. Try to identify the chemical involved and its container.
Step 4: Cover the burn with a sterile, non-fluffy first aid dressing. If no dressing is available, then improvise. Good items to use include cling-film and plastic bags.
If the burn is serious, the casualty shows signs of shock or the casualty becomes drowsy/looses consciousness then call an emergency ambulance immediately. If a large chemical spill has occurred then also ensure the fire brigade and police have also been informed.
If you become exposed to the chemical involved then you should seek medical advice immediately.

Shortly after dark I left my lodging place, struck the railroad and walked fifty miles by the mile posts set up along the track. Then I crawled into a fodder stack and rested until I was nearly frozen. At daylight I found I was too near a house; also near a burnt railroad bridge on the Oconee river.
I moved two or three miles down river and built up a small fire in a secluded hollow, where I alternately dozed, froze, thawed and dozed again until mid-afternoon. Then I hunted up some darkies at work in a clearing near by and negotiated with them for something to eat. Before the food arrived, however, a colored boy notified me that his boss was gathering a gang of men and dogs to capture me, having seen my tracks where I crossed a field and also the smoke of my fire.
I immediately replenished my fire and went down the hollow to the river, found a boat, loaded it with dry grass and weeds for a shelter from the cold and a few persimmons for provisions. Then when the "mellow cry of the hounds and the cheerful sound of the horn" proclaimed that the hunt was on, I paddled down the river. I soon found that my boat leaked, but within a mile or two I found several boats tied up at a plantation and swapped for a better one.
The Oconee was a rapid stream, not as wide as Spring river, but flowing more water, and with a great many rapids and small falls from three to five feet in height. These I did not always discover until the strong current prevented me from landing to avoid them; otherwise I might not have been so bold and successful. But it was rough riding, and I lost my cargo more than once. Towards morning I ran into a mill dam formed by a wing dam from the lower point of an island to a sawmill on the right hand banks. I had to back out and go to the other side of the island.
Then the country became so open that I began to look for a hiding place. I saw some mill buildings on the right bank and took the left, ran into a head race leading to a factory. A man with a gun invited me ashore. I landed and explained to him that I was a Confederate soldier, had been in the hospital at Blue Mountain, wanted to get my home in the next county southeast, had taken to the river because my feet had been frosted and were too sore to walk any further, and besides I was afraid of the Yankees, who were in the country, as I had heard.
The man who had stopped me was the manager of the cotton factory, and told me it was mighty lucky for me that he had stopped me, for the whole country was full of Yankees, and if I had gone four miles farther they would have got me, sure.
Then he invited me to breakfast. My appetite was the only thing I had saved on this disastrous voyage, so I made no objection. He asked me how far I had come from up river. I told him from the railroad bridge. He said that was fifty miles away and no one had ever come down in a boat over them falls before. His wife said it was "onpossible" and a "temptin" of Providence to do such fool tricks." He advised me to Col. Graham, a provost marshal of the county, and get a pass before I tried to go any farther. I said I must rest first, and was shown a place in the back part of the company store, where I slept until awakened for dinner. Then I wanted to rest some more. A country doctor interviewed me; wanted to know my name and family history. Then an old lady came into trade. I retired to my couch in the back part of the store, and the doctor told the old lady all he knew about me and a great deal more. Then the old lady told the doctor all about a man of my name who had married a neighbor "gal" of hers, and afterwards had enlisted in the Confederate army. She gave the names of all parties interested; and the doctor had called her Mrs. Pennel. So when she put on her specs and came back to have a look at me I rose with my back to the window, called her by name and inquired anxiously after Mary Jane and the twins. She knew me at once, told me Mary Jane was "mighty porely" but the children was well; though Judge Jones and Col. Parson hadn't furnished provisions to the soldiers' families as they agreed to at the beginning of the war. Then I said a few "cuss words" and she said she did not blame me for it.
Mrs. Pennel also told me that it "want moren eight miles" to where Mary Jane lived. I said I could walk that distance before night if the men would let me go. Then Mrs. Pennel opened her batteries on my captors util they were glad to let me go. They gave me a gray vest and a pair of socks and I started in the direction Mary Ann was said to be. Within two miles I ran into a squad of Confederate soldiers, with a number of Yankee prisoners in charge. They insisted on my accompanying them to the parovost marshal's. I objected to associating with Yankees. They allowed me to walk on the outside of the rear guard. Within a half hour he fell in a ditch, and I left them, carrying away a buchshot wound in the shoulder of my coat as a souvenir. That night about 9 o'clock I was within a mile and a half of the camp of a division of Sherman's army, could smell bacon frying, and coffee—oh, my— —
A gang of rebels were lying in wait to pick up stragglers from Sherman's army, and they took me from the sight of the camp fires back to purgatory.

The INSIDER Summary
- The Kardashians feel betrayed by Caitlyn Jenner's new memoir, which they claim is full of lies.
- Kendall Jenner is siding with her sisters on the issue, as seen in a recent clip of "Keeping up with the Kardashians."
- The model tells her mom Kris that she doesn't think it's right that Caitlyn is painting her sisters in a bad light.
Breakups are never easy, but add in a best-selling memoir which airs all your dirty laundry as a couple, and you've got yourself a recipe for disaster. That's exactly the situation which exes Kris and Caitlyn Jenner, who divorced last year after 23 years together, have found themselves in following the release of Caitlyn's book, The Secret of My Life ($17), with things getting messy, and fast.
Kris claims that Caitlyn is lying about their union in the memoir, and her brood is standing behind her, with Kim angrily saying that the Olympian "started three different families with three different people and f*cked everyone over."
Jenner's eldest biological daughter with Kris, Kendall Jenner, is also having her say, and it's not looking the best for dear old dad. Despite admitting to Harper's Bazaar that she's "more of a Jenner than a Kardashian" when it comes to tapping into her girly side, the supermodel is totally team "K" on this one.
In a new clip for "Keeping Up With the Kardashians," she says there's truth to Kris's allegations that Caitlyn's memoir isn't exactly accurate. "I heard about all of the stuff she was saying in it and just how a lot of it is so not true," she says in a convo with her mom.
While the 21-year-old concedes that she doesn't think her dad is "purposefully lying," and rather truly believes what she's penned, she takes issue with the fact that Caitlyn didn't exactly paint her step-children in the best light, either. "And then she goes around dissing the Kardashians, but it's like, those are the kids that YOU raised!" Kendall exclaims. "If you have a problem with them, you raised them! That makes no sense to me that she would go around bashing, like, us for no reason. It's insane, mom. That's insane!"
Girl's got a point — Jenner has been a father figure to Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob since they were wee little tykes, with Kourtney, the eldest, being just 11 at the time of her and Kris's union. Then again, there's always two sides to every story…
Watch the fireworks go down tomorrow night on E! at 9pm/8c.

Are You Staying at a Job So That You Can Keep Your Health Benefits?
For some, healthcare options have become more available and more varied in the last few years. For others, the challenge of finding the basics benefits and coverages is challenging. Employers find themselves stuck somewhere in the middle of trying to negotiate an affordable plan that works well for the majority of their employees and getting the necessary coverage for their most at risk workers. As major companies announce that they are dropping the basic benefits and coverages that they once provided in many states, employers and individual policy owners who had a plan are now looking again.

Sir, I refer to Lucy Kellaway's "The plague of compulsory creativity may be dying out" September 12.
She is absolutely right in what she there argues, but she could have added power to her arguments by identifying when empowering creativity, can lead to some truly dangerous creativity, and cause huge disasters.
Think for instance of the bank regulators in the Basel Committee. Based on the very creative theorem that what is ex ante perceived as risky, is riskier for the bank systems than what is perceived as safe, they created the risk weighted capital requirements for banks; and with that they seriously distorted the allocation of credit to the real economy,
And now the safe havens are becoming dangerously overpopulated, while all the risky bays, where SMEs and entrepreneurs reside, are equally dangerous being underexplored.

How happy am I that the Lansdowne Farmers Market is now up and running every Saturday? Very happy! It's just an itty bitty market but it's big on great people, great produce and great fun.
I went there early this past Saturday and found it in full swing with a lively mix of venders and customers, kids and pets, music and great things to browse and buy. I ended up buying some homemade soaps for my sister (her birthday was the next day), a swiss chard plant (score!) and some truly fantastic rhubarb.
Rhubarb, which became the inspiration for this easy summer dessert. I know it's not summer yet but tell that to the thermostat. I married it with apple (feeling the strawberry rhubarb thing was becoming a little cliche at this point) and dressed it in a free form almond flour crust with an almost cookie like texture. The result is a simply beautiful, light, fresh, slightly tart, just sweet enough treat for any time of day including breakfast time!
rhubarb apple galette
1 cup unbleached flour plus more for rolling
1 cup unbleached flour plus more for rolling
1/2 cup almond flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup cold butter cut up
2-3 tablespoons ice water
In a medium bowl combine flour, almond flour and sugar. Cut in cold butter until mixture is crumbly. Add water, just enough to have the mixture come together as a dough. Knead dough briefly until uniform, wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons corn starch
2 tablespoons water
3 cups cubed rhubarb
2 medium apples (honey crisp, pink lady) peeled, cored and cubed
1 egg for egg wash
sanding sugar
In a medium, heavy bottomed pot whisk together sugar, cornstarch and water. Heat on medium, add rhubarb and apples and cook, stirring for about 5 minutes just to soften the fruit and get the juices bubbly. Transfer to a bowl and chill for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a piece of floured parchment paper or waxed paper roll out dough to a 14 inch circle. Place fruit in center, leaving a good 2 or 3 inches on the edge. Start on one side and work around folding the edges in over the fruit and sealing the overlaps with egg wash. Brush crust with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar or regular sugar.
Carefully transfer, paper and all, to a cookie sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Cool on a wire rack. Serves 8.

Next Tomb Raider game leaks after someone leaves laptop open on the subway • Eurogamer.net
Lara Croft's next adventure will be named Shadow of the Tomb Raider, and it's not being made by regular Tomb Raider studio Crystal Dynamics.
Well, Shadow of the Tomb Raider has leaked because a Reddit user spotted its marketing presentation open on the subway. Oops.
Kotaku has since verified the name as accurate (as far as in-development project names can still change) and explained the fact it was spotted on the Montreal subway - which is the other side of North America from Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider will instead be developed by Eidos Montreal, of Thief and Deus Ex fame - a fact Eurogamer sources have also verified.

Beyond the Classroom
Students engage in a variety of elective extra-curricular after school programs, including athletics, musical theater and after-school clubs.
Close relationships are formed among classmates and teachers during academic Advisee/Advisor and Homeroom meetings, dances and other social activities.
All 8th graders participate in "BEYOND BOUNDARIES," a yearlong multimedia research project that moves students beyond what is typically an insular global perspective to deepen their sense of the world's texture.
Students in grades 6-8 are active, enthusiastic participants in their education. Their academic journey includes a focus on expanding worldviews and understanding many types of diversity.
Experienced, dedicated faculty members work closely with Middle School students to enhance their intellectual development, critical thinking and commitment to excellence. Much of this enhancement is accomplished with active learning activities through which students become planners, initiators and facilitators.
All students enroll in Fine Arts, (Drama, Visual Art), Foreign Language (Spanish or French) and Physical Education. Cooperation is valued and fostered in classrooms, athletic programs, and on the Student Council, as well as in team building and community service activities.
Students also develop effective study skills to meet the high academic expectations of a high school college preparatory curriculum within an atmosphere of respect and consideration for diverse talents and ways of learning.

I was not sure how the tension would hold in this shawl. I wanted it to be like nature with different natural fibers. The warp is cotton, wool and silk fibers. For the fibers to come out, I chose a plain weave.
warp, love the colors
had to dye the weft because the beige looked grey
after washing, with cute fringes
The bride is from Japan. I tried to match the culture in staying close to the national colors of the flap in red and white, but chose softer tones. The old nordic pattern showed her the welcome into her new country Germany. The yarn is Habu wool from Japan.
Here is a photo of me with the shawl I tried to match to a dress. It was too cold in the end to wear the dress.
The other shawl was for Kati, my son's girl friend.

Two post-doctoral positions, UC Santa Barbara
February 3, 2012 § Leave a comment
We are seeking outstanding postdoctoral candidates to join the group on "Morphogenesis and Self-organization of Living Matter" at the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). Our group combines theoretical and experimental approaches to study the formation of patterns and shapes in biological systems, at both cellular and embryonic (tissue) levels. We are interested in the collective behavior of cells within tissues, the physical and material properties of embryonic tissues, and the interplay between physics and genetics that translates genetic information into 3-dimensional structures. We are also interested in how cells establish and maintain their shapes, as well as other topics relevant to morphogenesis. These positions are a very good opportunity for motivated and creative individuals to participate in a highly interdisciplinary and innovative line of research. For more information about both our research and these positions, please visit our group website at http://www.engineering.ucsb.edu/~campas
Theoretical and experimental physicists (preferentially with experience in biological and/or soft-matter physics), engineers and materials scientists with experience in biology, and biologists interested in quantitative approaches are strongly encouraged to apply. Outstanding applicants in other fields (applied mathematics, computer science, chemistry, etc.) may also be considered. Experience in Zebrafish and/or chicken development or fission yeast will be considered positively for candidates with experimental backgrounds.
The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) provides an exceptional, interdisciplinary and collaborative environment for scientists interested in the physics of biological systems, quantitative biology and systems biology. UCSB is well known for the high level of its research in science and engineering, as well as the natural beauty of its campus and landscapes.
