Two Worlds, One CityPosted by CAM Blogger in Untagged |
I am one of those few lucky alumnae who found a way to stay in Ithaca after graduating from Cornell. Building a life in Ithaca was certainly not my original plan. Boston born and bred, I always envisioned settling in some city in the Northeast after college and working in a building with fancy elevators and a maze of office space. But plans changed when at the end of my senior year at Cornell I fell in love with a man who was already living a real adult life in the City of Ithaca. Six years later, we are married and I am still in Ithaca and still happy.
My transition from student to graduate never seemed to happen with any sort of obviousness. Ithaca always felt like the same place it was the day my parents pulled up to North Campus with me in the backseat, ready to start my freshman year. Same gorges, same restaurants, same places to go for a run. As I moved from my Collegetown apartment to a house with my boyfriend, I never felt sad about graduating thinking there was nothing I was really leaving. For years after, when my college friends would recollect that bar, that library, that sandwich at Collegetown Bagels, I brushed it off with no sense of reminiscence. How could I miss that stuff when I never left it? Though after graduating I stopped going to that bar, that library, and rarely ordered that sandwich, I knew I could anytime I wanted. I was immune to whatever sense of longing my fellow Cornell alumni experienced.
Last week, a friend asked me to sit in on a lecture she was giving for a class at the Hotel School. I hadn't spent any significant time on campus in years, other than the occasional quick drive through to show it off to visitors. I arrived ten minutes early with a fierce need for a pack of gum. I got off the bus at the Johnson School and ran across the street thinking I could snatch a pack at Mac's Cafe in the Statler basement. Immediately entering, fluorescent red lights from under the circulation desk at the Nestle library were beaming into the hallways. It looked more like a disco hall than a library.
After pushing through a mass of students dressed as chefs and girls with Greek lettered bags, I managed to find myself facing a familiar shelf of strawberry Nutri-Grain bars, bags of Skittles, and chocolate-chip cookies the size of a young child's head. No gum.
I shifted gears to the next closest possibility: Terrace. It was in between classes and close to lunchtime, so emerging from the hallway I was up against a challenging line of ladies in what used to be the burrito line but was OBVIOUSLY now the salad line. I knew from experience that I could make a clean break up the middle to hit where the gum might be, though I couldn't get away without hearing a handful of calls for "just a half" with "sesame ginger on the side." Nothing had changed.
And to my disappointment, there was no gum at the registers. I had five minutes to go and knew I'd find what I was looking for across the road at the campus store. There, the market had moved upstairs and the bulk candy section was gone. Bummer. I grabbed a pack of spearmint Orbitz and headed to the register.
"Cornell ID for the raffle?" The cashier asked me. "Uhhh....that raffle is STILL going on...?" I responded. (Wow. Six years later and still a daily giveaway.) She looked at me confused. I hesitated. Why not, I thought. "A-W-G-2-2."
"And the last two digits?" She asked. I almost questioned what she meant and then it hit me. And it hit me hard. Of course, Cornell IDs have FOUR numbers now. What was I doing here? Who did I think I was? Suddenly all I wanted to do was to pay and get out, back into the other Ithaca world I lived in. I handed her a five dollar bill (which caught her off guard as she was expecting Cornell Card), took my change and left.
I crossed the street back to the Statler to head into the lecture. The outdoor Terrace seating was standing room only, packed with aviator glasses, North Face backpacks and smiling faces soaking in the first sunny day that Ithaca had seen in months. I noted the shocking number of salad containers overflowing with iceberg lettuce and I started wondering how many of those had moved through my gut during my days there. A student walking in front of me debated with her friend whether she should take a class Pass-Fail instead of for a grade, while another on the phone was panicking over next year's housing situation.
I couldn't believe the outfits that passed by me. Bra straps, cleavage and short shorts everywhere. Is this what they wear to class these days? I couldn't get over it. Then I felt old because I couldn't get over it.
Once in the lecture, I couldn't shake this strange sense of irritation. Everything was so familiar, yet there I was feeling so uncomfortable and out of place. What was it about being dropped back into this setting that put me on edge? What was it about the library, the salads, the Cornell IDs, some of which were exactly as I'd left them only six years ago and others that had changed by only two digits? I lived seven miles down the road but felt light years away from where I was.
And then I realized that this must be what everyone was talking about. This was the reminiscence I thought I was so immune to. These material markers of our college experience—the buildings, the lunch spots, the bars, etc.—all just artifacts of the world we were once so embedded in for four years. It didn't matter that I'd stayed in Ithaca. There were some pieces of my Cornell experience that I'd never truly get back. It wasn't really the sandwich that everyone missed (well, maybe for some). It was the people, the atmosphere and all that went with it. It didn't matter that I had access to these things at any given moment. They were vehicles for memories.
After the lecture, I boarded the bus thinking about the fragility and sacredness of time and place. Perhaps places like Cornell, where we experience such profound intellectual, social and emotional growth, will always be physical places we can return to when we need to remember how wonderfully vulnerable we are to the memories how we once were.
Once downtown, I headed back into my other Ithaca world with a fresh pack of gum and an even fresher perspective on the true meaning of nostalgia.

In the case of the Chester Coyotes, it might be a good thing that the young are sometimes restless.
As long as that restlessness leads to divisional trophies and gives a team some strength at the State Class C track meet.
The Coyotes girls' team placed first at the Northern Divisional with 116 points and nine-of-10 point-getters were underclassmen.
Michele Van Dyke, as a freshman last year, placed third in the high jump at state.
However, Van Dyke, a solid sophomore in the 800 meters and high jump this season, leads the state in the jumping event with a personal-best height of 5-6.
She placed first at the Northern Divisional with a jump of 5-4.
Van Dyke will also compete in the 800, where she qualified with a fifth-place finish at divisional and a time of 2:29.9.
Teammate Carlane Jensen, a junior, was the biggest point-getter at at the divisional meet for the Coyotes. She tallied 39 points.
Jensen qualified in the shot put, discus, javelin, triple jump, and high jump.
She also runs on both the 400-meter relay and 1,600-meter relay.
At the divisional meet, Jensen set a meet record in the javelin with a toss of 140-1. That is also the farthest toss in the Class C in the state at this time.
But KG's Kim Berg, a fine freshman thrower, is on track for a high finish in the javelin event at state.
Berg, the only female KouGar to qualify for state, set a personal-best mark of 137-3 and placed second, behind Jensen, at the divisional meet.
Berg is already in the KouGar record books with the javelin toss and could be a young surprise at state. She also qualified in the long jump, where she has a far mark of 15-9.
While Jensen and Berg have to be favorites in the javelin, Judith Gap's Brandi Miller and Hot Spring's Sarah Brown should be tough in the shot put.
In both the long and triple jump, Erin Jones of Harlowton led the Class C during the regular season and looks to be the favorite. Harlowton is the defending girls' team champion and has its sights set on 100 team points and another state trophy.
Chester's Maci Tempel, a sophomore, will compete in the 200, 400 and 300-meter hurdles.
Tempel, also a member of the Coyotes' long relay, has a fast time of 47.9 in the hurdle event and 61.91 in the 400 meters.
The Coyotes' 1,600-meter relay Jamie Graham, Katy Engstrom, Tempel and Van Dyke ran away with the gold at divisional with a time of 4:15.75. It was just 1.85 seconds off the meet record.
Last season, Chester's long relay placed third with a time of 4:15.9.
Engstrom will also compete in the 400 and 800 meters.
She set a personal-best time in the 800 at the divisional meet (2:27.53).
The Northern Division swamped the 800-meter, placing five-of-six athletes in the event.
Big Sandy's Kate Bitz won the race with a season-best time of 2:26.13. Teammate Eryn Darlington placed second (2:27.0).
Chester's Engstrom and Van Dyke placed fourth-fifth and Blue Sky's Lindsey Letang placed sixth.
Harlowton's Cody Halsey is strong in the 800 with a season-best time of 2:24.1. Lacy High of Twin Bridges could also sneak in for a finish. She has a season-best time of 2:24.9 in the race.
Debbie Brown and Hannah Brown will cover the distance runs for Chester. The two qualified in the 3,200 meters.
Kristi Upham of Big Sandy will pose some competition in the 100 and 200 meters as well as the high jump.
Carla Breuer of Charlo has the fastest Class C time in the 200 (25.5), but Upham is also ranked in the state with a time of 27.62.
Big Sandy's Jenny Silvan qualified in both the 100- and 300-meter hurdles and the pole vault.
Silvan set a divisional meet record in the pole vault at 9 feet, three inches. Only Tessa Anderson of Drummond, who has a season-best height of 9-6, could pose some competition for Silvan.
Last season, Silvan placed fifth at state with a jump at 9-0.
Emily Tranberg of Chester could see a lot of Silvan. Tranberg qualified in the pole vault and 100-meter hurdles, also. Tranberg has a personal-best time of 16.95 in the hurdle event.
Eryn Darlington has been solid all season for Big Sandy. She has a state-ranked time of 62.77 in the 400 meters. Cody Halsey and Marny Adamson of Harlowton run the fastest times in the event 59.25 and 60.6, respectively.
Sheena Darlington qualified in the 1,600 meters for Big Sandy and Lindsey Danreuther added some more wheels in the 300-meter hurdles for the Pioneers.
The Class AA will join the Class C at the state meet, which will begin Friday at 10 a.m. at Bozeman.

The consortium plans to use the roundtableâs sustainability standard to set regional benchmarks based on aviation biofuel projects. Various airlines already have tested biofuels. The consortium plans to work with groups implementing voluntary standards or regulatory requirements for biomass used in jet fuel.
Research projects will commence in April, and the anticipated work during the next 2 years will include projects in China, Africa, the European Union, Latin America, North America, and the Asia-Pacific region.
Billy Glover, vice-president of environmental and aviation policy for Boeing Commercial Airplanes, said the aviation industry needs sustainable biofuel development.
âThis consortium will help ensure we have a transparent way to collaborate among certification processes that guide us towards a more sustainable future,â Glover said.
Sustainable biofuel development is a key element of the aviation industryâs strategy to lower its carbon emissions, he added. Meanwhile, unrest in the Middle East has driven up jet fuel prices, emphasizing the importance of alternate fuel sources.

OSWEGO, N.Y. -- The Oswego Common Council has tabled a resolution that would have prevented buses that transport college students on weekend nights from operating on side streets.
Nearly a dozen community members spoke out during Monday night's public hearing about the so-called "drunk buses."
Two bus companies pick college students up on SUNY Oswego's campus and bring them to downtown bars and house parties. Some residents are calling on city officials to keep the buses out of neighborhoods, in hopes of cutting down disruptive parties.
If passed, the law will restrict the buses to main streets like Bridge and West First.
Councilors say they need more time to research the issue before voting, but they hope to find a resolution before school is back in session on August 27th.

Ledezma's one-year deal, Ohlendorf a super-two
The Pirates made a series of roster moves on Wednesday and one of them was a one-year deal with Wil Ledezma. USA Today is reporting that the deal is for $700,000 (in the majors) and $300,000 (in the minors). Ledezma is out of options and is currently on the 40-man roster.
Ross Ohlendorf is arbitration eligible and has qualified for super-two status. Ohlendorf qualifies a year early and will receive a bigger salary then other players with three years of service time.
To be eligible for super-two status the player must rank in the top 17 percent of players who have two to three years of service time and at least 86 days service time, the previous year. Instead of the usual three years of arbitration, Ohlendorf will be eligible for four years.
The six years of service time are still required and they do not become free agents earlier than other players. Click here for a list of the past "super-two" players.
Ohlendorf made $439,000 for the 2010 season but given the amount of time missed due to injuries, he may not receive as much as other super-two players. Ohlendorf was 1-11 with a 4.07 ERA.
The Pirates have nine arbitration eligible players this season. They include: Zach Duke, Ronny Cedeno, Andy LaRoche, Jeff Karstens, Joel Hanrahan, Wil Ledezma (signed a one-year deal, avoiding arbitration), Ross Ohlendorf (super-two), Lastings Milledge and Delwyn Young.

Cutting PVC
Being a "new guy" to this trade I wanted to see what other people are using to cut PVC. Currently for all of our cuts we use a sawzall with a bimetal blade, but it can be difficult to cut straight or cut small pvc. I plan on getting a ratcheting cutter for the small stuff. So whats everybody using on the bigger pipe (2 and 3 inch). Is there a different saw blade that could help.

Milwaukee makes a battery powered cutter that does up to 2 inch, and I've seen plumbers use a chop saw for the bigger stuff, but they were doing a lot of drain plumbing there. I've always just used a sawzall for 3 inch stuff just takes some practice to get straight cuts.
There are tons of people who make ratcheting tube cutters. Go to lowes, depot, or other hardware stores and you will find plenty. But the one that fits your needs. Remember that cheap doesn't always last!
Sawzall makes a mess, and is a PIA when all you need it for is cutting pipe. Get a large pipe cutter, see page 44 of the catalog. I use to sawzall, until years back when watching plumbers knocking out ABS on a house. They were flying through the job, while I was still pulling an extension cord to my saw.
Mine is a RothenBerger, they are pricey, about 150 bucks for mine, but that was 8 years ago and other than new cutting wheel here and there, still indestructible. Now that I play with commercial refrigeration, nice to have it for the large diameter copper piping I work with now and then.

Our plumbers will use the chop saw too but when you're only cutting a couple pieces its alot of trouble and mess to use in somebodies basement. I think the cutters that slc tech referred to is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks guys.

I usually just use a hack saw. It works good on small pipe, and even on bigger pipe it doesn't take too long or too much effort.
A cable saw is also nice to have for cutting pipes apart in tight spaces. It is basically a guitar string with a handle on each end. It is surprisingly fast at cutting through pretty much any size of pvc pipe.

I buy only Ridgid stuff when it comes to plumbing tools.
I will use an awesome hack blade on my leatherman, takes about 45 seconds,
Or I may also use a standard copper tube cutter. You know, where you twist the handle tightening it and then keep spinning it all around the tube, works the same on PVC.

craftsman multi tool. my "go to" tool for everything.
PVC saw for big stuff, it helps to keep the cut straight, it's harder to keep straight with a hacksaw bc of the small blade but they work too. I use a ratcheting cutter for up to 1"

I use the Milwaukee hackzaw with bi-metal blade, just spin the pipe as you cut to keep a straight line. I also see a few guys use circular saws and miter boxes but the circ. sometimes snaps pipe and the miter takes longer

I am getting ready to start training for the Elite Four (2nd time) and Red and I have a problem, I have too many pokemon that I want to train but not enough spots in my party. I'll list all the possible pokemon, their levels and moves.
Ampharos Lv.36: Focus Punch, Thunder, Discharge, Rock Climb (I plan on changing Thunder to Thunderbolt and Rock Climb to Signal Beam) I am currently training Ampharos through Exp. Share
Mamoswine Lv.50: Earthquake, Rock Climb, Ancient Power, Ice Beam
Kingdra Lv.50: Brine, Blizzard, Surf, Hydro Pump (I plan on teaching Kingdra Dragon Pulse for Surf)
Froslass Lv.50: Wake-Up Slap, Ice Beam. Ice Shard, Hail (I plan to teach Froslass Blizzard and Destiny Bod for Ice Shard and Hail respectively)
Magmortar Lv.51: Thunderbolt, Faint Attack, Lava Plum, Flamethrower
Graveler Lv.51: Stone Edge, Rock Climb, Rollout, Earthquake
Pidgeot Lv.52: Pluck, Fly, Roost, Quick Attack (I plan to have Pidgeot learn Steel Wing and Air Slash for Quick Attack and Roost)
Typhlosion Lv.53; Strength, Flamethrower, Blast Burn, Rollout (I plan to have Typhlosion learn Eruption for Strength)
Umbreon Lv.54: Shadow Ball, Faint Attack, Psychic, Dark Pulse (I plan to teach Umbreon Moonlight for Faint Attack)
Venusaur Lv.56: Double Edge, SolarBeam, Petal Dance, Synthesis (I plan to teach Venusaur Frenzy Plant for Double Edge)
Machamp Lv.58: Submission, Wake-Up Slap, Cross Chop, DynamicPunch (I plan to tach Machamp Poison Jab for Wake-Up Slap)
Gyarados Lv.58: Thunder, Hyper Beam, Surf, Ice Fang
Lugia Lv.60: Extrasensory, Surf, Ancient Power, Aeroblast
Blaziken Lv.61: Blaze Kick, Double Kick, Sky Uppercut, Shadow Claw (I plan to have Blaziken 'remember' Brave Bird and learn Flare Blitz for Double Kick and Blaze Kick respectively)
That's quite a good crop of pokemon you have there. I would avoid Graveler and Pidgeot, they are not strong enough. I would do this:
Get rid of Hydro Pump on Kingdra. Surf is still powerful and much more reliable. Put in Dragon Pulse instead. (Personally I would go for Ice Beam instead of Blizzard for the same reason.) Brine isn't too bad but it's another water move when you could be using something else. Maybe Toxic just for kicks, or Return for when your HP gets low.
Ice Beam might not be that powerful on Mamoswine because his attack is higher than special. Avalanche is quite a cool move if you can withstand a hit before returning.
Use Waterfall on Gyarados instead of Surf, his attack is way higher than special. Earthquake is almost always a given on Gyarados (covers your electric weakness)
The others are quite good. I would pick Kingdra, Ampharos, Mamoswine, Umbreon, Lugia and either Magmortar or Blaziken.
I would train Ampharos and Graveler(but only if you can evolve him), Typhlosion and Blaziken, Machamp, and Lugia. Teach Ampharos Thunderbolt, Rock Climb(needed to get to red), Thunderpunch, Thunder or discharge. Golem, Stone Edge, Earthquake, Strength(and with rock head ability) Double Edge(if no rock head, Rock Climb instead of double edge). Typhlosion, Flamethrower, Fire Blast, Swift, Eruption or Blast burn. Blaziken, Sky Uppercut, Flamethrower, Shadow Claw, Blaze Kick. DO NOT TEACH BLAZIKEN BRAVE BIRD AND FLARE BLITZ, THEY GIVE TOO MUCH RECOIL DAMAGE TO BE WORTH IT!! Lugia, Psychic, Hydro Pump, Areoblast, Surf or Fly, depending on whether your lugia has higher attack or special attack. Machamp, Dynamic Punch, Stone Edge, Cross Chop, Poison Jab
Hope this helps!;)
All right,good team: lugia aeroblast psychic ancientpower hydro pump/punishment blaziken focus sash rest brave bird sky uppercut fire punch/flare blitz venusaur sludge bomb sunny day solarbeam frenzy plant kingdra scope lens ice beam dragon pulse dragon dance hydro pump mamoswine avalanche E-quake rock slide giga impact(mass damage) two pokemon would fit perfect that you don't have:metagross and dusknoir.movesets: metagross meteor mash psychic hyper beam/giga impact E-quake Dusknoir fire punch ice punch thunderpunch shadow punch(all obtained in sinnoh through move tutors except shadow punch) this is nice.

All posts related to MOCA Rebel Art show on Guest of a Guest for MOCA Rebel Art show.
Oh, James Franco, thank god you're alright! We've been so worried about you as it's been almost a full month since we last caught up with you... and you had your hair in cornrows. We're pleased to report he was back in full smirking, self-satisfied effect this weekend for the opening of Rebel, the off-site MOCA art show he curated. Though he did wear a suit to the opening reception, he didn't stray too far beyond his comfort zone as he clearly could not be bothered to run a comb though his hair for at least a full day prior to the event. Here's a look at who showed up for the Rebel debut and what the Franco-curated exhibition is all about. More»
Wednesday, June 19
We sat down with Anne Pasternak for a few questions about Creative Time's past and future, as well as the importance of having an awareness about public art in the city.

HTC global push for Windows Phone 8 continues with launch event in Philippines
Microsoft's Windows Phone 8 has launched but that only appears to have signalled the start of a serious global assault of both device launches and advertising.
The HTC 8X has been received incredibly well, which has displayed somewhat of a return to form for the Taiwanese manufacturer (for Windows Phone anyway). Now it's time to get those devices out there.
HTC recently held an event in Cebu, Philippines to launch their new Windows Phone 8X handset in another important South East Asian Country. We have previously reviewed the device which you can check out. The event was attended by a number of HTC representatives and saw Richard Javier, their country manager take to the microphone to speak about the company's latest Windows Phone Handset.
The event also had a representative from Microsoft give a speech to help move things along and give a full tour of the Windows Phone 8 operating system. The device is set to cost around P28,800 ($685) and should be available now.
It's good to see HTC continue to push their great Windows Phone 8 handsets out as part of their global launch and the event looked fun. We're going to have to call out the group shot of the HTC representatives holding out their devices though as it seems that their Android handsets outnumber the HTC 8X. Seems rather odd to showcase a Windows Phone but have more Androids on display by the staff does it not?
We're glad to see HTC back on board with Windows Phone and will be keeping a close eye on how their global launch goes. They have done a great job with the hardware but can they now back this up with continued software updates and even start to compete head on with Nokia's mighty software offerings?
Do you have a HTC 8X, how have you been finding it?

what abt 8s.....
birdman_38 says:
3 of those devices they are holding appear to be Android.
tbonenga says:
What about the Zenith aka Titan 3 ????? The 8X is my HD7 on steroids. I want something to compete with the 920 or ATIV S. How can HTC be a premier W8 OEM with what their pushing???? The 920 kills the 8X. I seriously see why HTC is sinking.
pnhd says:
ffs have a little patience. no manufacturer launches the entire portofolio at the same time. i'm sure in q1 2013 they wiull show the titan 3 successor
Round And Round says:
920 kills the 8X? I don't think so, the 8X has a higher ppi, better sound.
Brandon Simms says:
That statement you just made couldn't be any more incorrect.
Bearach says:
Lumia 920 PPI = 332, HTC 8X = 341. Correct
Lumia 920 doesn't have a dedicated amp, the 8X does. Beats audio is said to be marketing rubbish, but the amp is a definite plus for the 8X's audio playback capabilities. Maybe
So apparently, he could have been "more" incorrect...
Tsyokiss says:
Got the 8x right here, can say that the beats audio aint rubbish.. It actually makes my music sound allot better, although I think it's quite on par with dolby which the 920 is supposed to have.. :-)
Bearach says:
I wasn't saying it was rubbish, just that some people say that it is such. I've actually not had any experience with Beats audio.
hwangeruk says:
How is the battery on the 8X? I hear its poor.
tbonenga says:
Has there been a supply shortage of 8X's ??? I don't think so. If you think the 8X is high end what's the GB's? Is the memory expandable? What's the screen size? The 8X is a middle of the road phone. I'm just saying HTC should've come out swinging. They just bunted with the 8X. Yes it has a amp and sounds decent but beats is just a marketing gimmick.
Round And Round says:
You sound like you haven't read anything anyone said. The amp adds to the sound quality too, its not just beats. And at best buy the 8GB 8X is outselling the 920.
Tips_y says:
I believe HTC is still to come out with their flagship WP8 in 2013. According to a leak, which was supposedly straight from HTC, they wanted to come out with a quad-core but were waiting for MS to optimize the OS for it. As soon as that happens, I personally believe, HTC will be the first to come out with a quad-core WP8. So in a sense you're right, when the HTC quad-core WP8 comes out the 8X would lie somewhere in the middle of the road but for now it's high-end.
jbrandonf says:
Can you link to that? WP8 is capable of running on up to 64 cores.
upupandawol says:
I'm glad they are backing WP8. can't wait to see Zenith
pankaj981 says:
I guess Zenith will be a killer phone...might be even better than the 920
winphoneaddict says:
The 920 kills the 8x? According to who? Other than in a few areas , the phones are very similar, with HTC clearly winning the form factor and asthetics award.
jbrandonf says:
Screen refresh rate, camera quality, exclusive apps, turn by turn, price in most markets..
ejlee072006 says:
28,000 damn
Tips_y says:
Lol actually you can buy the 8X online for 24,600 pesos (around $600).
tarzanmarzan says:
I think there is no better phone. Its more a choice of personal preferences. If you like music and want a slimmer profile, go with the 8X. If you like photography and a plethora of software go 920. No one has to be the best of the two. Either way competition is always good and always precedes market growth so have at it fanboys! Getting back on topic, I hope to get a new or my 920 unlocked because when I travel to my homeland I'd like to use the phone there. Really cool that HTC is pushing its product in the PI but really hoping that Nokia follows suit. My cousin still uses the blue brick Nokia from 2004
infosage says:
I have the 920, but because of the weaker AT&T coverage in our area and exclusiviity, I know 3 people that bought the HTC 8x. It's slim, light and has similar core specs, so I can understand many preferring it to the 920 regardless. Hopefully we see even more options announced for next year at CES.
Microsoftjunkie says:
They need to hurry up and fix my 8x
ihavewp8 says:
love Philippines and people. glad as they have many phone users and going be great see people using windows phone. I bet you they will bring 920 later on.
Tips_y says:
The local Nokia people already tweeted the 920 and 820 are coming to the Philippines in January 2013. A bit unfortunate Nokia will miss the Christmas season which is a big deal in the Philippines but better late than never. Probably the 920 is in short supply otherwise they would be here now - Nokia is big in the Philippines.

Benedict XVI, Vatican's Traditionalist Enforcer, Steps Down
The first German pope in a thousand years is a cold, distant intellectual who never served as a parish priest. Cardinal Ratzinger, the Vatican Enforcer, became Pope Benedict XVI. As successor to John Paul II, Benedict was never as beloved by the faithful but still attracted crowds matching those of his media-savvy predecessor.

Hum with Pocket POD and POD HD500
Like (0)
I own both of these units and am experiencing the same issue with both of them. When using power from a wall socket (using recommended adaptors), I get a noticeable humming noise. When Itouch something metal on my guitar or the units the hum is reduced. Also, when I connect the units to my computer via USB, the hum is greatly reduced.
I have tried several guitars and cables and the problem persists. I think the problem is either with the units or the ground in my house electrical supply. However I cant see how it is the house as the problem goes away when I connect to a computer via usb.....the computer uses the same power source!
Please help !!
I strongly suspect that it is the circuitry in your house rather than both devices. It may be very localized - have you tried using different electrical outlets throughout your house? Can you test it in another house/location?
You may need a power 'cleaner'. I don't know exactly what they're called but there are products that will eliminate hum.
Thanks for response. But why does hum reduce when connecting via usb?
Sorry - I just don't know about that.
Update: I have tested all sockets in my house and all are earthed correctly. Problem must be with earth in the Pocket POD and HD500? Can anyone from Lie 6 advise?
I am definitely no expert but I I have a pocket pod (which I love) and the same thing happened to me re loud hum, but I changed the fairly high maximum output mains adaptor for a low 300ma maximum one I got with a zoom pedal, and the hum went away! It shouldn't make any difference what the maximum amp load is, and maybe that wasn't even the problem, but using a different adaptor totally cured it - why I don't know, but maybe it's worth a try..?
I get same humming with my pocket pod, but it appears to be an earthing issue with the unit, as mine appears when the amp plug is in
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Learn to play pool in 60 seconds
Pool 8 is a game for two players played on a table with seven solid colored balls, seven striped balls and one black ball. The object of pool is to use a cue stick and a white cue ball to hit your set of balls (either striped or solid) into the table pockets. The first player to hit all of his balls into the pockets must then pocket the black (8) ball to win the game.
Players alternate turns. If during a player's turn, he pockets one of his balls, he continues playing. But if the player fails to pocket one of his balls or pockets one of his opponent's balls by accident, then it becomes the other player's turn. If at any time, either player accidentally pockets the white cue ball, it becomes the other player's turn.
The game starts with all balls (except for the white cue ball) placed in a triangle. One player "breaks" the balls using the white cue ball. If during the break, that player sinks a striped ball, he will continue to pocket striped balls for the rest of the game. If he sinks a solid ball during the break, solids will be his set of balls for the rest of the game. If he sinks both a striped and a solid during the break, he can choose which set of balls he wishes to pocket during the game.

I've tried making this bracelet twice. The pattern isn't my problem. Has anyone experienced the "tube" collapsing and suddenly increasing the length by 100%??? If so, how do I prevent this???
Editor's Note:
If you are having a problem with the stitch collapsing, it is usually a tension issue. Make sure you are keeping your work tight, especially toward the end.

Gorgeous Bracelet
I have to say, this bracelet is one of my "I MADE this" pieces. It looks very difficult but is pretty simple once you get the hang of the stitch, as another reviewer said. I made about 6 of these over 2 or 3 days last winter. One tip: Be careful with the length. I was too generous on most of the ones I made and they were a bit too big once I added the clasps.

Citizens looked around a Namdaemun covered with plastic sheeting and metal pillars during a brief opening to the public in 2009, the first one since it was destroyed.
Namdaemun is covered in traditional ornamental painting, called dancheong, based on patterns modeled on some from the early Chosun Dynasty, approximately 600 years ago, when the gate was first built.
Hong Chang-won, artist and historian, was in charge of the paint restoration. He visited museums and temples around the country looking for patterns dating to the early Chosun Dynasty.
Carpenters cut timber with traditional saws at a site to restore the ancient gate with traditional architectural methods.
Inside a traditional tile kiln, workers stacked roof tiles for the restoration. The kiln is one of three situated in Buyeo, 195 kilometers south of Seoul.
Traditional roof tile artisans placed tiles on the roof of the ancient gate in June.

ELLISBURG, N.Y. -- A Jefferson County man faces charges in a crash that killed another man. It happened on Lake Road in the Town of Ellisburg just before 9:30 Saturday night.
Sheriff's deputies say a pickup truck was driving westbound when it went off the road and rolled over several times into a field. They say one man died at the scene. His name is not being released pending notification of family.
The driver, Amado Hernandez-Alvarado, 23, was taken to Samaritan Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries.
He's now charged with second-degree vehicular manslaughter, driving while intoxicated, unlicensed operation and speeding.

Officials say Ramarley Graham fled from police as officers approached on White Plains Road at around 3 p.m. He entered his home, where officials say a struggle took place.
According to officials, police fired one shot and hit Graham in the torso.
He was taken to Montefiore Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. released a statement saying that the man was unarmed when police shot at him.
However, police officials said that while officers had not recovered a weapon from the scene, they were still searching for one.
Those who love Graham were outraged.
"Ask him what kind of story they gonna concoct about this," said one friend, referring to Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.
Graham's father was in shock, saying "I don't know what's going on yet."
His mother was at work and rushed home when the landlord called her. She said police wouldn't tell her anything.
"My 6-year-old son was there, saw everything," said Constance Malcom, Graham's mother. She added that Graham was "like a regular kid. Not a kid that carry guns around, sling no guns. He's not that type of kid."
She said her son may have had marijuana on him and Graham's brother said police have come into their home uninvited before. They say regardless, no one deserves this.
"I want justice and I'm gonna get it," said Malcolm.
Many members of the community came out to support the family, saying they want answers to plenty of questions about just what happened.

Question1: What is the difference between a "Discard Pile" and a "Dead Pile"?
Question 2: I noticed something about putting a Power Token on a character card instead of your House Card. IF you do that, do you lose the Power Token(s) if the character dies?
Question 3: Once you go through your Draw Deck, that's "it", right? You do not re-shuffle and draw more, correct?
Love the game, appreciate the help!

Question1: What is the difference between a "Discard Pile" and a "Dead Pile"? /QUOTE]
Characters usually go in the Dead Pile, Events, Attachments and Locations usually go in the Discard Pile. Some cards let you return a card from your Discard Pile, other cards let you do so from your Dead Pile. "Deathbound" cards only go to your Dead Pile.
Brev929 said:
Yes, if the character dies you lose the power. However, power on characters may not be taken in a Power Challenge.
Brev929 said:
Correct - do NOT reshuffle.
" "Deathbound" cards only go to your Dead Pile."
Not quite correct. The only Deathbound card you're likely to be seeing right now is Forever Burning in the Targaryen deck (there are only two other cards with the keyword, and neither are in the Core Set.) If that event is successfully used, it goes to the Dead Pile; if it's cancelled, it goes to the Discard Pile.
"Cards with the "Deathbound" keyword are placed in the dead pile whenever they would otherwise be placed in the discard pile from play.
Event cards with the Deathbound keyword are placed in the dead pile only after they are successfully played from their owner's hand. If the effects of an event with the "Deathbound" keyword are canceled, that event is placed in its owner's discard pile."
If a character is "killed", it goes to the dead pile. If a character is discarded (either from your hand or through some card effect), it goes to the discard pile.

But even he didn't expect it to be like this.
The defending Class AA state champion Jackets (2-0) have had to win two offensive shootouts in the first two weeks of the season over Ridgeland (42-35) and Dalton (56-41), a far cry from the way they won games last season when they only allowed 30 points to an opponent in one game.
The task will get no easier this week as Calhoun welcomes Class AAAA traditional powerhouse Carrollton to Phil Reeve Stadium.
"They're very good," said Lamb when asked about this year's Carrollton team. "They are well-coached, disciplined, fast and big. We are going to have our hands full. We'll just have to go see what we can do on the field.
"Fortunately, we get them at our place so hopefully our crowd will make it a great atmosphere."
Carrollton (1-1) have plenty of athletes that the Calhoun defense will have to account for which has been the same scenario as the first two weeks against Ridgeland and Dalton.
Lamb said he knew it would take a little while for this year's defense to get their feet under them after the Jackets lost 10 of 11 starters from last year's state title team, and even with the big numbers given up, he said he can see some signs of them coming around.
"I knew coming into the year that our offense was going to be ahead of our defense, but I didn't know it was going to be quite like this," said Lamb. "I think it has a lot to do with the fact that we've played two really good team. I think that will pay off in the long run this season, but right now it's going to be tough.
"I was encouraged with how our defense played in the second half against Dalton so I hope we can carry that over to this week."
The injury bug hasn't helped matters on defense, either. Linebackers Chaz Horton and Justin Harrison, two of Calhoun's top four linebackers according to Lamb, were both injured against Dalton. Lamb said the severity of the injuries is unknown at this time, but they will miss the game against Carrollton.
Besides the defense, Lamb said there was one other big area that his team needs focus on getting better in.
"Penalties have definitely hurt us," said Lamb. "We've had 27 penalties in two games, and that is not good at all. We're going to try our best to fix that."
The game on Friday will be the first meeting between the two programs since 1985 when the Jackets won 21-0. Before that, Calhoun had lost all five of the previous meetings. Both programs have come a long way since then, as Calhoun has been a power for the last decade, and Carrollton started their consistent success in the late 1980s.
Lamb said his team has to make some plays on defense in order to win the game.
"We have got to force turnovers," said Lamb. "Their offensive is explosive, and they don't do a lot of different things, but they are extremely good at what they do so we've got to get the ball away from them.
"And on the other side, we can't give the ball away."
The Jackets have run the gauntlet in the first three weeks, and this game will be the toughest test so far. (No disrespect to Ridgeland or Dalton.)
Carrollton is simply a very good team that always has its share of playmakers on the field. Calhoun isn't a slouch either, though.
This could be a game for the ages. The Reeve will be rocking. Don't miss it.
Calhoun 38, Carrollton 35

Larson empowers women one post at a time
By MARY COUGHLIN
Redmond resident Tracy Larson was born to write. Beginning when she was 8, Larson found herself constantly keeping notes of her thoughts. Her dream of writing manifested into her blog, No Makeup Required, "a digital haven of wit and wisdom for real women," as her tagline states. As the founder and writer of No Makeup Required, Larson doesn't just love to write. Her passion for empowering and inspiring women has driven her to use her writing for a purpose. Her goal is to make women feel better after leaving her blog; to feel less alone in their trials and triumphs. Larson's love of writing translated into her blog after reaching a moment of inspiration. One of her friends was struggling with the death of a child, while another was adapting to becoming a new mom; two women at the same time, on opposite sides of the spectrum. Larson saw the strength of these women, and made a decision. "In that moment I realized there's a lot of real life going on between women that needs to be written. I thought, I need to start this, I'm not waiting anymore," said Larson. Since 2010, No Makeup Required has been ranked in the top five parenting blogs for the Kindle, in competition with the blog of a Washington Post columnist, among others. Larson's blog has clearly drawn an audience. Although it's a key demographic, the site isn't just for parents. Larson makes the point that when you're a mom, you're also a woman. Women are sisters, aunts, daughters, friends; Larson reaches many identities other than solely those experiencing motherhood. It's a women's blog, with a slice of mom in it. "When you're a mother, sometimes you're focused so much on being a mother that other parts of your life get lost in the shuffle. We are more than just moms," said Larson. To reflect this, Larson made other adjustments and decided to re-design No Makeup Required after a year and a half of being online. She wanted to add more features, space for comments and also a space for men. The date of the re-launch this past spring had a purpose. May 20 was the anniversary of Amelia Earhart's Transatlantic Flight, and Earhart is one of Larson's favorite women in history, so she chose the significant day for her launch. Earhart was a strong woman who went for her dreams in a time when it was difficult; a perfect representation of what Larson wanted her site to stand for. Contributors to the blog love supporting No Makeup Required because of what it symbolizes. Frequent contributor Jamee Tenzer said, "Tracy has created a user-friendly environment that is fun and informative. I love to be a part of helping moms feel good about what they are doing in life." Authenticity is a big part of Larson's goal for No Makeup Required. She's arranged her content into six core feature areas. They bring out the real quality Larson has worked hard to maintain. Catching Curveballs, Wisdom Wednesdays, Who is She, Conversations with Men and Conversations Between Girlfriends; all six contribute to setting No Makeup Required apart. They reflect Larson's belief that women and moms can learn from each other, from other generations and from women of the past. The features play into Larson's goal of looking at life differently than typical blogs. Instead of always writing about how frustrating life is, she strives to remind women that time is going fast and they should try to enjoy their lives. As a busy woman herself, Larson lives by her words. When asked about balancing being a mom, a wife and working, Larson's answer is simple: Balance is a myth. Sometimes the dishes get left in the sink overnight, the dog has an accident on the carpet or the kids need something brought to school; life happens. When life happens, priorities come into play. "I know I'd rather spend time with my kids than work in my garden. I can fix the garden when they're gone, right now I'm enjoying them," said Larson. In November, No Makeup Required plans to help LifeWire supply cell phones to domestic violence victims to use for calling for help in life-threatening situations, or as a means of contacting support as they move through being a survivor. Larson believes every woman should feel connected and supported. Through the participation of No Makeup Required in a cell-phone drive, Larson hopes to make a difference.

Mark Morris' latest dances pay homage to love in the spring"In the spring, a young man?s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love." Mark Morris has probably followed this Alfred Lloyd Tennyson observation often in creating pieces for his New York-based dance group. Certainly the 56-year-old choreographer's masterwork "L'Allegro, il Penseroso ed il Moderato" devotes much of its exuberant movement to such thoughts. More » |
