You'll have a chance to catch just about any kind of entertainment you desire this weekend in Lubbock, but the highlight has to be the Willie Nelson concert.

An Espanola, New Mexico man, David Sandoval, has a special tortilla that he took note on the first day of Lent--an image of Jesus Christ is burned in the flat bread.
Every year the West Texas Home Builders Association presents the Home and Garden Show. And this year is no different. Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Civic Center get in on the building, re-doing, landscaping, plus a slew of ideas from a multitude of vendors.
It all started as a joke but since the website "blew up" it's being taken pretty seriously. Hank the cat has thrown his paw into the race for a U.S. Senate seat in Virginia.
The annual Mayors' Beans and Cornbread Luncheon is coming up Friday at lunch from 11 a.m. until 1:30 p.m. Mayors from around the South Plains welcome the public to the 24th fundraiser-luncheon for Hospice of Lubbock which serves a 19 county region.
With gas prices going up all over the nation, Lubbock is offering a pretty good deal. The cheapest gas in Lubbock today(Tuesday, Feb. 28) is $3.34 at the Valero station at Loop 289 and the Slaton Highway, according to this site. The state's average price sits at $3.57 a gallon and nationally it's $3.67. We're approaching $4.00 a gallon but one expert in Texas Tech's Petroleum Engineering department thinks $5 won't happen.
I was doing a little window shopping on Craigslist today and found quite a few interesting items for sale. From the cute to the dumb to the downright weird, you never know what you'll find for sale on Craigslist! Take a look at what I found today.
When Eddie Murphy pulled out of hosting the Oscars this year, the powers-that-be brought in Mr. Reliable--Billy Crystal. And being a Crystal fan, I enjoyed the show Sunday night. Considering all the starving people all over the world, the whole event is a silly annual event to begin with.
You may want to get rid of weeds by using your weedeater, but that doesn't really get rid of them--just makes them shorter. Or you may want to dig them up. That works but it's also HARD work. Or, you may want to try a weed killer spray. A lot of people use Montsanto's Roundup. But this year according to this gardening site, the company can no longer call the spray "biodegradable" and "environmentally friendly".
Coming up Tuesday from 6-8 p.m. is "Girl Talk", an event offered at Covenant Health System that could help clear some questions up for girls between the ages of 10-13.
Kellie Pickler is a happily married woman now and says she's deeply in love with her husband of one year. Kellie eloped with Kyle Jacobs in January of 2011 but that didn't affect her music career.

The SweConsNet Workshop 2014 will be held in early May 2014 at KTH: a call will appear here in due time!
Constraint programming (CP) is a rather novel set of methods and tools for modelling and solving constraint problems, in a way orthogonal and complementary to other optimisation technologies (such as ILP, MILP, SAT, etc). Constraint problems arise in many application domains, such as scheduling, rostering, planning, configuration, control, design, biology, finance, transport, logistics, and so on. Decisions have to be made (that is, the values of unknowns have to be determined) so that some constraints are satisfied and, optionally, some cost / benefit is minimised / maximised. (Read more)

Comet America Paper Shredder 12 Sheet Cross-cut in Black
Comet shredder John from Gainesville, GA– Verified Buyer It is a mess when empting the bin waste not confined to the bin. Other than that it great |
Less than expected John from Lake Havasu City, AZ– Verified Buyer Just purchased this shredder. Used it a couple of times and went to clean out the bin and its was so packed I made a mess of loose shreds. The bin is small and shredded material can build up just under the cutting mechanism. The bin is difficult to empty due to its odd shape and size. When emptying the bin and returning it to the unit, it snags on carpet, thus you have to tilt the whole unit sideways to close the bin all the way. Shredded material is a little larger than I'm used to. The credit card feature is worthless. It only cuts cards in three slices or slashes actually. They remained connected. You can still read information on them. The paper shredding part shreds credit cards just fine. This model had descent reviews at amazon.com but they wanted shipping fees to collect from wayfair. I purchased thru wayfair because there was no shipping fees and I really like wayfair. I give this model one star because it is quiet. I will not purchase this model again. |
Great price, works perfectly! Office Manager from Irvine, CA– Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer This shredder is great for our office due to its compact shape and ability to shred without jamming. I recommend for any office environment with small to medium shredding needs. |

Adam Levine has finally responded to Jennifer Love Hewitt's romance request, confessing he's flattered that the actress went public with her crush on him.
RELATED: Hot Guys on Motorcycles
The "Client List" star went public with her feelings for the Maroon 5 singer last week during an interview on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," revealing she was interested in him as her leading man following his split from supermodel Anne Vyalitsnya.
But when Levine failed to respond to her remarks online, the actress feared she'd upset him.
RELATED: Who Should Adam Levine Date?
In a radio interview with Texas DJ Bobby Bones on Friday, she said, "I feel like I should write him an apology letter on Twitter or something just to say I'm so sorry... I wasn't thinking that it was gonna turn into this whole thing and I feel bad... I was kind of hoping that he would say thanks for at least thinking that he's hot. He is hot!"
Now Levine has responded during a chat with "Access Hollywood." He says, "It's very flattering and very sweet and lovely to hear."

Ideal for pilots, race car drivers and boating, this 2nd generation GPS Receiver features even faster signal acquisition, 10Hz positioning updates and Bluetooth connectivity to up to 5 devices. The WAAS receiver simultaneously receives both GPS (USA) and GLONASS (Russia) satellite system signals. |
Meet the SkyPro - a brand new GPS Receiver with fast signal acquisition and 10Hz positioning updates, making it an ideal GPS for pilots, race car drivers and other fast moving applications. The WAAS receiver is compatible with both GPS (USA) and GLONASS (Russia) systems and it connects via Bluetooth to up to 5 Apple or Android devices.
Just like its predecessor, the popular XGPS150, SkyPro is very simple to use. There is a quick set up process that includes pairing your tablet with the unit. Once this is done, SkyPro will automatically connect to the device it was last paired with, and you will be able to use it with hundreds of apps that require location information.
The GPS receiver will run for up to 10 hours on a charge, and can be recharged using the included 12-28VDC cigarette lighter adapter, from any PC, or from the USB charger which came with your tablet/phone.
This GPS Receiver also comes with a useful GPS Status Tool app. (Available free on the iTunes App Store). The app allows you to turn on and off the automatic route recording feature, and to export the stored log file information. The Status Tool app also shows detailed information from the GPS Receiver including:
- Your location (or whether the device is still determining where you are)
- How many satellites the device sees and the signal strength of each satellite
- The battery level of the GPS Receiver, and whether or not it is charging
- Confirmation the GPS Receiver is successfully connected to your iPad/iPod touch/iPhone
The SkyPro GPS Receiver also includes a non-slip pad for use in a cockpit, car or a boat.

Important: Third party apps are not included with the purchase of any XGPS160 product. Dual cannot guarantee that apps will work with the XGPS160 as updates to apps and operating systems can affect compatibility at any time. Please read all app descriptions carefully before purchasing apps. Dual will not reimburse for apps which do not work or stop working with XGPS160 products. Dual's customer support is unable to assist with issues or questions about how to use third party apps.
- How do I find the XGPS160 app?
The link is here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/skypro-gps-status-tool/id705424484?mt=8. (Alternatively, you can search the iTunes store for the keyword "SkyPro".)
- Can I use the Bluetooth GPS Status Tool app with the XGPS160?
You can…but that app is designed for the XGPS150. It will only show you partial information from the XGPS160. So you should really use the SkyPro app (and it's free).
- On my XGPS160, how do I turn route recording on or off?
There are two ways to do this:
- Triple click the power button on the XGPS160. The "Log" light on the top of the GPS will be on or off to indicate the status of recording.Or:
- Open the SkyPro app, and tap the Settings icon in the upper right corner. Then choose "Yes" or "No" under "Always record position when turned on".
- How do I get the recorded trip data off the XGPS160?
You can access the recorded route data in the XGPS160 using the SkyPro app:
- Make sure the XGPS160 is on and paired to your iPad.
- Open the SkyPro app.
- Select the Trips tab.
- The app will download the list of routes the GPS has recorded, listing them by date and time the trip started.
- Tap on a route you are interested in. The app will download the complete route from the XGPS160, and allow you to view, share or delete that route.
- Tapping the Map button will show you the recorded route on a street map. You will need internet access for this feature to work.
- Tapping the Share button will allow you to email the route in a KML format.
- I go to the Trips tab in the SkyPro app, and it says I must update my firmware. How do I do that?
See "How do I update my firmware" below.
- What format is the recorded trip data in?
- Trip data is exported in a KML format, readable by many apps, including Google Earth.
- How do I delete a recorded route from the XGPS160?
- Open the SkyPro app, select the Trips tab. Then select the route you want to delete from the list of trips. After selecting the route, touch the "Delete from SkyPro" button.
- What firmware do I need to have in my XGPS160 in order to download recorded trips?
- You will need firmware version 1.2.0 or above.
- How to I check my firmware version?
- Open the SkyPro app. The firmware version is shown on the Status tab at the top of the screen right underneath the battery level.
- How do I update the firmware in my XGPS160?
- You can do it through the SkyPro app:
- Plug in the XGPS160, or make sure it is at least 50% charged.
- Make sure the XGPS160 is on, and paired to your iPad.
- Open the SkyPro app, and touch the Settings icon in the upper right corner.
- Before proceeding, it's very important to know that you should not exit the SkyPro app nor turn off the device during the update.
- Tap the Check Update button at the bottom of the Settings popup menu. This begins the update process.
- When the update is complete (about 4 minutes), turn off the XGPS160 and turn it back on again.
- How long does the update process take?
- It takes about 4 minutes.
- Help! My Dual GPS used to work fine with my iPad, but now sometimes it doesn't – what's wrong?!?
Unfortunately, there's a bug in iOS versions 6.1.2, 6.1.3 and 6.1.4 which affects Bluetooth-connected GPS accessories (from any manufacturer). The symptom is that apps don't display GPS information even though the GPS appears to be paired and connected properly to the iOS device. Confusingly, if you open the Dual GPS Status Tool, the GPS looks like it is working properly – it shows a position, an altitude, and lots of satellites in view.
The fix is to upgrade to iOS 7. But if you're holding off doing that, there are some things which you can do if you are experiencing the problem. Additionally, Dual has been working with app companies including ForeFlight and WingX to provide a workaround.
If you aren't using ForeFlight or WingX, or want to try a workaround, try one of the following options. These won't permanently solve the issue, but they can temporarily restore GPS information to your apps:
- Stop any apps which are running in the background.
- Double click the Home button on the iPad to open the background menu.
- Touch and hold any icon on the bottom of the screen, waiting until the icons start to jiggle.
- Tap the red circle on the upper left of each icon. (This will not delete the app from your iPad, just stop it from running in the background).<
- Touch the upper part of the screen to close the background menu and reopen the app you want to use.
- Toggle Location Settings.
- On the iPad, go to Settings->Privacy and toggle Location Services off and then back on.
- Unpair the GPS, reboot the iPad and re-pair the GPS
- Turn off the XGPS160.
- On the iPad, go to Settings->Bluetooth.
- Find the device named XGPS160-xxxxxx in the list shown and then tap the blue arrow button to the right of the name.
- Select "Forget this device" and confirm you wanted to do this.
- Press and hold the power button on the iPad until the power off slider appears.
- Drag the slider button to shut down the iPad
- When the spinning cursor disappears and the screen goes dark, hit the power button on the iPad to restart it.
- Turn the XGPS160 back on.
- Once the iPad has rebooted, go to Settings->Bluetooth
- Look for the XGPS160 in the list of devices, and tap the name to pair it again
- Reset the network settings on the iPad
- On the iPad, go to General->Settings->Reset
- CAUTION: the next step will erase any WiFi passwords stored on your iPad/iPhone/iPod touch
- Tap Reset Network Settings. The iPad will reboot itself.
If you are a user of ForeFlight, WingX Pro 7 or eKneeboard, we recommend that you download the latest update of the EFB app. These apps include code to communicate specifically with your GPS which bypasses the bug in the iOS.
- Stop any apps which are running in the background.
- I get an error message when trying to download a GPS-enabled app onto my Wi-Fi only iPad or cannot download a GPS-enabled app onto my Wi-Fi only iPad.
While this is an uncommon issue, some developers do restrict their apps from being downloaded to devices which don't have the GPS feature, not taking into consideration the fact that an external GPS will allow their app to work. We suggest that you either ask the app developer to remove the restriction or choose a different app. The vast majority of app developers do not put these restrictions in place, and there is a very large number of GPS-enabled apps which can be downloaded to non-3G/WiFi-only iPad devices, allowing them to be used for navigation (car, boat, plane), hiking, golfing, geocaching, etc.
- How do I make the GPS Receiver work with my Android tablet?
Android tablet owners will need a "helper app" which connects the GPS data from the XGPS160 to all apps on the tablet. We recommend using one of these two apps: Bluetooth GPS or Bluetooth GPS Provider. Both are free downloads from the Google Play store.
Instructions for making the XGPS160 work with Android devices:
• If you have Android version 2.x or 3.x installed on your tablet:
• Configure the tablet to use mock locations: go to Settings->Applications->Development and enable "Allow mock locations".
• Next, pair the XGPS160 with your tablet:
• On the tablet go to Settings->Wireless & networks->Bluetooth Settings. Look for XGPS160-xxxxxx in the list of devices.
• If it does not appear, tap the "Find nearby devices" button and wait a few moments.
• Once the XGPS160 appears in the list of devices, tap the device name in the list. The tablet with think for a few moments and then say "Paired but not connected."• If you have Android version 4.x or later on your tablet:
• Configure the tablet to use mock locations: go to Settings->Developer options and enable "Allow mock locations".
• Next, pair the XGPS160 with your tablet:
• On the tablet go to Settings->Bluetooth. Look for the XGPS160-xxxxxx in the list of devices.
• If it does not appear, tap the "SEARCH FOR DEVICES" button in the upper right corner of the screen and wait a few moments.
• Once the XGPS160 appears in the list of devices, tap the device name in the list.If you are using Bluetooth GPS:
• Download, install and open the app on the tablet
• Open the Settings screen by clicking the Overflow icon (the three dot icon) in the upper right and check the options for Reconnect and Use Unsecure Connection.
• Exit the Settings screen and go to the Main tab.
• Click the Start button.
• The app will begin to communicate with the XGPS160 and show you information about the connection.If you are using Bluetooth GPS Provider:
• Open the Bluetooth GPS Provider app on the tablet
• Open the Preferences screen by clicking the Overflow icon (the three dot icon) in the upper right corner.
• In the Choose GPS receiver popup menu, select the XGPS160.
• In the GPS Connection Method popup menu, select Insecure (Reflection).
• Exit the Preferences screen and go to the Main tab:
• Click the Start button.
• The app will begin to communicate with the XGPS160 and show you information about the connection.The tablet will now be connected to the XGPS160, and apps on the tablet can use the data from the XGPS160.
To use the XGPS160 subsequently, just make sure that the helper app is open and running on the tablet.
- Will the XGPS160 work with racing apps like Harry's Lap Timer or TrackAddict?
- I'm a pilot. Can I use the GPS Receiver in the cockpit?
Yes. The GPS Receiver works with all popular electronic flight bag apps including ForeFlight, Garmin, and WingX Pro. If you are a commercial or corporate pilot, please contact customer support for some helpful tips on using the XGPS160 in aircraft with heated windshields and at high cruising altitudes.
- What is the difference between the XGPS160 and other Bluetooth GPS receivers on the market?
In short: the number of devices it works with. The GPS Receiver brings GPS capability to your Apple iPad/iPod touch/iPhone, Android phones and tablets, Microsoft Surface tablets and laptops running Windows, OS X or Linux. If you have several phones/tablets/laptops in your household, and you're looking for one GPS to work with them all, the GPS Receiver is an excellent choice:
- The GPS Receiver is completely portable
Slip the GPS Receiver into the included non-slip pad and use it for navigation in an aircraft, in a car or on a boat. - The GPS Receiver has a built in rechargeable battery
The battery powers the GPS for up to 10 hours of continuous use. The GPS Receiver does not use battery power from the device it supplies the GPS signal to, so you won't drain your phone/iPod or iPad battery. - The GPS Receiver works with a huge number of apps
Most every app for the iPod touch/iPad/iPhone will work. The same is true for Android and Windows. - The GPS Receiver turns your iPod touch, iPad or iPhone into a global navigation device
When traveling in different countries, use the XGPS160 with local navigation apps containing local maps. No need to rent or buy another device for car navigation.
- The GPS Receiver is completely portable
- Does the iPod touch/iPad/iPhone have to be jail broken in order to work with the GPS Receiver?
No, the GPS Receiver has been certified to work with iPod touch, iPad and iPhone.
- Do I have to be in a WiFi hotspot in order to be able to use the GPS Receiver for turn-by-turn navigation?
Yes and no. The GPS Receiver itself does not require a WiFi or cellular connection in order to determine your location. However, some apps do require a network connection in order to download map data. Check the list of apps for examples of navigation apps that have built-in maps and do not require an Internet or a WiFi connection to work.
- Will the XGPS160 work with a navigation application from another company?
Yes, typically. First, look to see if that navigation application is available for your device (iPod touch, iPad or iPhone). Second, make sure that the application does not require a cellular connection in order to download map data or retrieve navigation instructions. The XGPS160 does not provide a cellular connection to the Internet.
- How do I know if a particular app will work with the XGPS160?
The GPS Receiver, by design, will provide GPS coordinates to any app that requests it, and the vast majority of apps on the iTunes App Store will work with the GPS Receiver. (A partial list of apps we've tested with the GPS Receiver is here.) If you have a question about a specific app, here is a simple checklist you can follow to determine whether or not an app will work with the XGPS160:
Step 1: Make sure that the app you are considering is available for download onto your specific device (iPod touch/iPad/iPhone). For example, not all apps on the iTunes App Store work with the iPod touch or the iPad. Read the app description before downloading it onto your device.
Step 2: Read the entire app description carefully to determine whether the app requires a network connection. If it does, and you are looking to use it on an iPod touch or an iPad without the 3G service, most of the time it means that you will only be able to fully enjoy the app when in a WiFi hotspot. It doesn't necessarily mean you shouldn't use the app, but it could be that some features, which rely on the network connection will not be available when you are not in a WiFi hotspot. Many location-based apps do not require a network connection, and you can fully enjoy them with the help of the XGPS160 on the devices that do not have a network connection.
- How much battery life should I expect?
The battery in the GPS Receiver lasts about 10 hours of continuous use.
- How long does it take to charge the GPS Receiver?
About 3 hours.
- Will the GPS Receiver provide my location anywhere in the world?
- Will it work with the iPod touch/iPad/iPhone that my sister/brother/father/daughter/boyfriend has?
Yes. Just like with any other Bluetooth device, you will have to pair the XGPS160 with the device you intend to use it with. The set up takes less than a minute and then you can use the device with the GPS Receiver.
- I have an iPad. Why would I need this?
The WiFi-only model of the iPad does not have a GPS receiver. If you would like to use a navigation app on this iPad – or any other app that needs to know your location – you will need the GPS Receiver.
- I have an Android phone with GPS built in. Why would I need the GPS Receiver?
Using an external GPS, like the GPS Receiver, dramatically reduces the battery drain on your phone: that means more talking & texting for you & less time being tied to a power outlet.
- I have an iPhone with GPS built in. Why would I need the GPS Receiver?
The GPS Receiver will give you an improved GPS accuracy. Also, using an external GPS, like the XGPS160, dramatically reduces the battery drain on your phone: that means more talking & texting for you & less time being tied to a power outlet.
Tips & Troubleshooting
Download the Apple iOS 6 bug fix here.
- The blue light on the GPS Receiver is blinking and it won't connect to my iPod/iPad/iPhone.
Look at the blue light on the GPS Receiver:
- If the light is blinking on & off in a regular once-on, once-off fashion, go into Settings>General>Bluetooth on the iPod/iPad/iPhone. Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on and the GPS Receiver is listed as a device. Tap the device name to connect the two devices.
- If the light is in a continuous regular pattern of blinking several times followed by a pause, turn off the GPS Receiver, wait about 30 seconds for the iPod/iPad/iPhone to recognize the device is disconnected, and then turn the XGPS160 back on. If this happens again, you may need to turn the iPod/iPhone/iPad off and back on.
- The blue light on the GPS Receiver is on and not blinking, but my iPod/iPad/iPhone is not getting location information.
This could be a couple of things:
- Is the green GPS light blinking on the XGPS160? If so, the GPS Receiver cannot pick up satellite signals in its current position – move it closer to an open view of the sky.
- Are Location Services enabled on your iPod/iPad/iPhone? Go to Settings>Location Services and make sure that Location Services is set to ON and the setting for your particular app is also set to ON.
- Is the mode switch on the XGPS160 set to the correct location? It should be moved to the right.
- Did the XGPS160 connect with a different device that is nearby? Go into Settings>General>Bluetooth on the iPod/iPad/iPhone. Make sure that Bluetooth is turned on and the XGPS160 is listed as a device.
- If none of that helps, then turn off the GPS Receiver. In Settings>General>Bluetooth on the iPod/iPad/iPhone, find the GPS Receiver in the device list and select "Forget This Device". Turn the GPS Receiver back on. When it appears in the device list, tap the device name to reconnect.
- When I turn on the XGPS160, I get a message on the iPod/iPad/iPhone that says "This accessory is not supported by iPod/iPad/iPhone."
Turn the GPS Receiver off, wait about 30 seconds for the iPod/iPad/iPhone to recognize the device is disconnected, and then turn the XGPS160 back on. If the message repeats, turn the iPod/iPhone/iPad off and back on.
- I turned the GPS Receiver off, but the iPod/iPad/iPhone shows that it is still connected for a long time.
The iPod/iPhone/iPad takes about 30 seconds to recognize that the GPS Receiver is no longer available. This is normal.
- Sometimes my iPod touch/iPad/iPhone freezes for a few moments when I'm using the GPS Receiver. What's happening?
The iPod/iPad/iPhone was in the middle of communicating with the GPS Receiver when the GPS Receiver was turned off or went out of range. When this happens, the iPod/iPad/iPhone keeps trying for up to 30 seconds to reach the GPS Receiver. When it can't find it, it gives up and comes back to normal operation. You can avoid this by exiting the active app before shutting down the GPS Receiver.
- My Android phone connects to the GPS Receiver, but the GPS light on the GPS Receiver never comes on.
You need a serial port "helper app" installed on your phone. See the second entry in this FAQ list for detailed instructions.

NORMAN, Oklahoma (Ticker) -- Oklahoma was due.
The 22nd-ranked Sooners played suffocating defense and broke out their newfound shooting touch, extending their winning streak to four games with a 75-48 Big 12 Conference rout of Iowa State.
It was an impressive win for Oklahoma (14-4, 4-3 Big 12), which began the day a game behind the Cyclones for fourth place in the conference. It had lost four straight contests before getting back on track.
"Not very many teams can lose four games and turn around and win four games in a row," Sooners coach Kelvin Sampson said. "That's what makes me so proud of our team - our toughness."
It was evident on defense as Oklahoma forced 19 turnovers and held Iowa State to 34 percent from the field (17-of-50). Senior center Jabahri Brown led the way with two blocks and three steals.
Part of the defensive strategy was to limit Iowa State's 3-point looks. The Cyclones started the night third in the conference at 38 percent from the arc and went 5-of-14.
"We played excellent defense tonight," said Sooners guard De'Angelo Alexander, who scored 17 points off the bench. "We took away the 3-point line, which is a big part of their game."
It's not part of the Sooners', but they buried 12-of-25 attempts after entering the game ninth in the Big 12 at 32.5 percent from the arc. Alexander made five 3-pointers, Lawrence McKenzie added three and Jason Detrick chipped in two.
"They shot the ball well tonight," Iowa State coach Wayne Morgan said. "Our defense could have played better, but at the same time those kids made some deep 3-point shots."
Oklahoma closed the first half with an 11-0 run, taking a 31-17 advantage into the locker room. Appropriately, Alexander finished the burst with a 3-pointer 24 seconds before the break.
The Sooners led by at least nine points the rest of the way and by as many as 30. The cushion was 52-30 with 11:57 left following an 8-0 spurt and 69-39 with 4:31 to go after a 9-0 run.
"You can tell that we were due for this," said Sampson, whose team shot 45 percent (27-of-60) and committed only nine turnovers. "The end of January and February for us is what most teams go through earlier in the season."
"We knew we were due for a 20-point-plus victory," added McKenzie, who scored 16 points. "Our performance was excellent tonight."
Iowa State failed to build on Saturday's upset of then-No. 12 Kansas, falling to 1-5 on the road. Morgan gave all the credit to the Sooners.
"I thought Oklahoma played very well and outplayed us in every facet of the game," he said.
Sampson agreed.
"We're turning into a team," he said. "And a team is hard to beat."

BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour Power List - which women should be nominated for their impact on family life?
(73 Posts)Hello everyone,
Justine has been asked by BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour to talk about their Power List, which will be a list to celebrate the achievements of the 100 most powerful women in the UK, nominated by listeners. The interview will be aired on Tuesday 20 November.
The list will be announced by Woman's Hour in early 2013 - further information about the list, the judging panel and how to nominate here: www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/womans-hour/power-list/
They'd like to know who we think are the pick of influential women who shape family life - childcare experts, popular educationalists, lifestyle figures, opinion formers, bloggers, pressure groups, doctors, midwives etc. They're looking for women who have the biggest impact on our economy, society, politics and culture, and the ability to inspire change as a role model or a thinker.
Who do you think should be nominated?
Thanks very much for your help,
Message withdrawn at poster's request.
Doreen Lawrence.
As a bereave mother myself, I am in total awe of her iron will and determination to get justice for her son.
She is honest with an integrity we should all strive for <take note Cameron and crew>.
She has refused to allow the media to pigeon-hole her as a tragic heroine and has always remained adamant that she would hand back every accolade if she could only have her boy back.
She has changed our justice system.
I am sorry Doreen, because I suspect this would make you uncomfortable, but you are my hero.
I second Doreen Lawrence, such an inspirational woman. She's changed this country through her tireless campaigning for the better. Amazing woman
I don't always agree with her, but Yvette cooper is a very strong voice on the impact of austerity on women's lives and the knock on impact to family life and employment. She is a welcome and somewhat lone parliamentary voice on this.
Baroness Susan Greenfield.
MNHQ do a splendid job.
Malala Yousufzai. For obvious reasons that she's brave, determined. But also that it has raised awareness of girls not getting an education.
Me and the DCs discuss education, why some people are against this and all sorts of tangents therein, geography, politics (very basic)...
I will have to have a think.
I've been really enjoying Woman's Hour this week.
I second Justine and Carrie for creating Mumsnet, and therefor impacting on family life
Helena Kennedy QC
Fiorella Nash
Feminist pro life campaigner
She is a truly courageous and inspirational woman
Naomi Stadlen for her amazing empowering book
I read this thread and thought I'd like to suggest someone from politics, someone who has campaigned around issues to help families: child care, community services, early intervention, education - something like that. Sadly I'm struggling to think of one woman in Parliament who I know has led challenges on these issues. I am sad that there isn't a stand out politician.
Sheila Kitzinger for putting choice in childbirth on the agenda, and speaking up to ensure that pregnant and labouring women are treated with the respect they deserve.
Also second Doreen Lawrence. And Justine and Carrie! If wasn't for them we would never have had a MN election ...
Oh, and also Camila Batmanghelidge.
Also vote for camila batmanghelidjh.
If we were allowed historical would go for Marie Stopes...
I'm not sure whether they're interested in women who have made a difference in society generally or whether it has to just be about impact on 'family life' - which seems a bit of a restriction on what women are recognised for. But my current heroine is Karyn McCluskey who headed up an initiative that cut violent gang crime in Glasgow dramatically - certainly that saved a lot of families a lot of misery.
Doreen Lawrence would be the main one that stands out for me.
Margaret Mizen. I live near to where her son was murdered and I can't tell you how strong a presence her family have here. And for good, honourable, positive reasons. I'm not religious, but to be able to forgive, and to try and bring about change in the way that she has is remarkable. i
Caitlin Moran for giving feminism a shot in the arm.
Another vote for Camila from Kids Company.
She is a voice of reason amongst so much bullshit. Her values, passion and integrity always shine through. And she changes lives. Amazing woman.
another vote for Justine and Carrie. Without them my house would be much cleaner and tidier, my washing would be done sooner, I would get to bed earlier and supper would be cooked in time On the other hand, dc would have a mum who had gone batty from lack of adult contact (dh is great but it's good to have more than one person to talk to!) and who has been calmed by reassurance and advice from others on MN when needed (often at odd hours of the day and night). Overall, I think family life is definitely better as a result of MN!
Doreen Lawrence, without a doubt. There are too many 'my way' mummies and family experts with salaries, lifestyles and support that is so far removed from daily life that I wonder what reason they have to consider themselves either expert or influential in the first place.
I have to second Carrie and Justine, too. MN has given us all a voice and support in our choices, whatever they are and for whatever reason we make them. The path of motherhood can be confusing, isolating and lonely: MN keeps us feeling like we belong and we matter when so much about motherhood is confusing and nerve-shaking; and that is vital to family life, esp in the first year of adjustment. It really is the most amazing and powerful community and you don't have to look long at the talk pages to see the support it offers in desperate times and the genuine empathy from people who have never met always staggers me. I recommend its brilliant support to every new mum-to-be and I am sure I am not the only MNer to do so!!
Another vote for Sheila Kitzinger
And for Justine and Carrie. - everything that zipzap said, and double underlined!
Carmel Maconnell, founder of The Magic Breakfast Club. Feeding hungry kids.Amazing woman, re-mortgaged her own house to start this.
Yy to Camilia B.
Baroness Hale, shami chakrabati, mrs justice Lucy theis and shirin ebadi - spot the lawyer!
Helen Glover and Heather Stanning - fantastic role models for girls.
Oh yes definitely another vote for Sheila k !!!!! I thank her for my amazing labour confidence !
Another vote for Shami Chakrabati
I would vote for Justine and Carrie too and MN as a whole. They give normal woman a voice. Without MN and really the influence of it's founders ie allowing proper full and frank discussion without censor, I would feel very bereft.
J K Rowling is a good candidate, her books inspired thousands of children to "get" the joy of reading.
I nominated camila batmanghelidjh. It has been my immense privilege to meet her on a number of occasions through work and she is an absolute beacon of hope for children and young adults.
Natalie Gamble - lawyer specializing in lesbian family law including parental rights.
Carmel McConnell - hugely inspirational for her work with Magic Breakfast.
Jenny Murray!! I love her interviewing style,she is compassionate and full of gentle humour and I think Woman's Hour does a lot for women's issues
Another one for Carmel MCconnell. I had never heard of camila batmanghelidjh but she sounds like she deserves a vote too!
Helena Kennedy
Lady Justice Butler Sloss. She was President of the Family Division of the High Court and often had to make difficult and heart-breaking decisions. Her decisions and reasoning were always fair and clear and shaped some of the most difficult aspect of family law/right to life etc
Queen Noor of Jordan. She and her DIL (current Queen) are progressive women in the Arab world.
Jennifer Fear, CEO of Step Forward charity in Tower Hamlets. She runs an innovative charity that provides counselling, personal development, healthcare services and family and LGBT support services for young people in the borough. I've seen the great work she has done first hand, and its amazing the number of young people that have been helped by her work.
Helen Fielding, Monica Ali, J K Rowling and Julia Donaldson. There may be a little theme in my list.
Just wanted to mention that although this thread is specifically about impact on "family life" (presumably because that's what Jusstine was asked to talk about) that isn't what the Women's Hour power list itself focuses on -- it's about impact generally. It's worth mentioning that because it would be a shame if the list got too skewed towards presenting women in their domestic light.
I nominated Onora O'Neill -- influential philosopher (both intellectually and institutionally) in a very male dominated discipline, and new leader of the Equalities Commission.
I guess that like all of these top 100 type things, the list is going to be skewed by who can raise the most online attention. It's good to think also of influential women who aren't necessarily at the forefront of social media.
I would also like to nominate Pauline Clare. She was the first ever female Chief Constable. She is a wonderful woman who achieved an incredible 'first.'
Malala Yousufzai - for standing up for education, and not being daunted by religious and cultural pressure. Nor letting youth stand in her way.
Jenny Sealey - co-director of the operning ceremony of the Paralympics - working mother, deaf woman - doing it all, running an award winning theatre company, and doing it on her own terms with co-operation, humour, committment to diversity of all kinds.
Another key woman philosopher who has been impactful over a long period is Mary Warnock, quite significant in academe and very influential in matters of public policy connected with medical ethics and research ethics.
It would be brilliant to raise the profile of women philosophers because philosophy is lagging behind in terms of numbers of women involved, and the new generation of media philosophers all seem to be blimmin men.
Good morning,
Woman's Hour have announced their Power List of the 100 most powerful women in the UK today, and rather excitingly, entry number 7 is Justine Roberts & Carrie Longton!
Take a look at the list and listen to the Woman's Hour Live Edition discussing the Power List at 10am today by clicking on this link.
What do you think - do you agree with the 100?
Congratulations to Carrie and Justine, and the entire MNHQ team. I was really pleased to see that they were included on that list, as I feel they are a proxy for us 'ordinary' women.
Mumsnet has given us a voice, and has made others listen to us. We are most powerful when we speak as one, as we did on the miscarriage campaign or the We Believe You campaign.
and for you all. Thank you.
That's great, well done!
Congratulations to Carrie and Justine!
I don't think that many of the entries are that much of a surprise, HM the Queen was always going to be No.1.
(Does anyone else find the 'alphabet by first name' really annoying? )
I'm just marking my place to have a proper look later.
That looks like a really varied and interesting list. And congrats to J&C.
Congrats to Justine and Carrie
A few thoughts .... firstly I'd like to see more familiar faces on there ... broadcasters, comedians those sort of women - I think they're very influential.
So, Jo Brand, Miranda, Dawn French ?
Secondly Justine and Carrie are two people not one ... even if they are blood sisters !
Thirdly ... I'm sure Camila B has done some great work with Kids Company but when I was a young teacher working in an inner city school I felt she could have been more welcoming and supportive - as I would have liked to engage more with the project that was visiting our school.
Congratulations to Justine and Carrie - well done.
Congratulations, Carrie and Justine!
I'm a bit worried that Teresa May is No2, though. Scary woman.
Congratulations to Carrie and Justine.
Can't help thinking it's a list that's lacking in ethnic diversity though.
A few thoughts .... firstly I'd like to see more familiar faces on there ... broadcasters, comedians those sort of women - I think they're very influential.
But it wasn't about influence, it was about power. Hence no Kate Middleton, but top spot goes to HMQ.
Congrats to Carrie and Justine.
Congrats to Justine and Carrie
God only knows how Sarah Millican got on there. In what world is she powerful? Other than in the world of terrible haircuts.
Congratulations! and
What an inspiring list. I know hardly any of them but having clicked on a few to read the profiles I feel very proud and inspired. I also feel strengthened in my determination to have short, uncoloured hair
Congratulations Ladies! [gin]
JK Rowling and Doreen Lawrence definitely should be on list.
JK Rowling is on the list. At 13.
Where is Shirley Williams? Did I miss her?
There aren't any other women that I'm aware of alive that are founders of a national political party.
And where is Diane Abbott? Love her or hate her, she surely is quite powerful?
I agree with GetOrf Sarah Millican!!! Should have been Sara Payne MBE.
Congratulations to Justine and Carrie
Well done Carrie and Justine . A well deserved place in the Top 10.
I've been going through the list as I only know a handful of names and am staggered by the number of 1sts in there. 1st female Chief Medical Officer, 1st woman to sit on Britains Supreme Court, 1st female CEO of Royal Mail, 1st woman to run a major British bank...etc
Most of the appointments seem to have happend post the year 2000 also. It just goes to show how long a struggle women have had to raise themselves into positions of power.
The number of "firsts" on the list is a very interesting point, Wolf. It suggests that (for the purposes of this list) the power of those women is constituted, not in the actual exercise of their expertise, but in their having broken through a constraint. And that in turn is constraining for successful women: they are defined in terms of their exceptionality and (despite themselves) they often are used to suggest that a definitive kind of progress for women has been achieved, when in fact all that has happened is that an aberration has occurred. Thatcher, for example, as the first woman prime minister: her success suggested a momentous breakthrough for women, but then we reverted to the male politics that we had never really left.
The list is interesting, and it seems to have been compiled with much more care and thought than most media "top 100" type lists. But, as its creaters have said, I think, its interest lies in its being a stimulus to what should be a massive discussion about women and power, and about the continuing lack of power for women
Where is Prof Tanya Byron on the list
I think Victoria Beckham is great and I'm so glad she's on there. I used to be 'meh' about her until she (almost?) fainted at a photo shoot/launch thing and revealed how tired she was with a new baby, big family, job etc & I thought about her then. She's actually amazing if you stop to think about her.
I'm also happy about Shami Chakrabati - I'm a bit of a fan of hers and was so pleased to see her being honoured at the olympics.
Yay for Justine & Carrie - this place had some awesome power and it makes me proud
Caught up with the podcast on commute today? Very pleased for all at MNHQ, and indeed proud of most all MNers. I think we should all reflect on some of the judges' comments, ESP. that about supporting each others' choices (eg. SAHM, v. WOHM). Must admit to hanging my head a bit on that one, as quick to rise to the bait in 'those' threads.
Congratulations Justine & Carrie
Congrats Justine and Carrie
It's a shame Doreen Lawrence wasn't recognised, the whole Lawreence family has suffered in the worst way possible and still fought one hell of a battle to get justice for her son. Ditto Sara Payne.
Not a huge fan of Shami Chakrabati- whilst I recognise that she has done some very commendable things, and is great lobbying for Human rights she isn't afraid to step on anyone - including other HR lawyers.
"But it wasn't about influence it was about power" - aren't the two linked somewhat ?!
I feel I'm quite a well informed woman and there were quite a lot of women there that I don't recognise. Obviously to me it feels there's something not quite right there.
I like Shami Chakrabati a lot, from what I've heard her say.

I bookmark Intellicast.com in my favorites. Has a very good local doplar that you can save for your region. Along with this I use Weather Bug Elite radar widget.
An all-time favorite of mine is My-Cast, but it's not available for Android yet. Only reason I'm posting this is because they keep promising it's in the "final stages" of development for Android, and that it's coming soon. Not sure how much it'll cost when it comes, but it's the best weather app I've used on any phone (last one was the LG Dare). It also shows LIVE lightning strikes (not the static ones on a previous app I installed and removed--I think it may have been Radar Now). Check it out when it comes. Radar was also very fluid in its animation, and refreshed quickly.
Radar now sucks! Try "Rainy Days". Free, Uses google maps. Better resolution than radar now. I have it a 5 star rating, would have gave it more if possible.
My-cast has been available for a while now. Search the market. Cost is worth it as opposed to a monthly subscription.
Just tried rainy... not bad. Don't think anyone yet has resolution matching my cast, by then I'm looking flightwise, not just for ground stuff.

The version of My-Cast that's available now is Pilot My-Cast. It's $130, which is more than I want to spend (I know, monthly subscriptions over time would total much more than that, but I heard My-Cast (regular) may cost around $30-40. Pilot My-Cast is more for pilots, just as the name implies.
Digital Cyclone keeps promising that the regular version of My-Cast will be available soon, so I will wait for it.
IMap Weather android app...
Or, if you can read a RADAR and have a browser...
Welcome to Weather Underground : Weather Underground
IMap runs on the same engine that Tornadovideos.net 's national chaser network uses, so you might find it an interesting tool to use.
My-Cast is finally in the Market for Moto Droid $3.99
No Widget or Live Wallpaper, but i can live with that!!
I use WeatherBug Elite as well. Very clean app - no problems. Nice navigation and tools. Settings for update frequency, alerts, etc.... Well worth a couple bucks.
Has anyone tried this Radar Live Wallpaper (Radar Live Wallpaper v1.0.4 Application for Android | News & Weather)? It looks like it could be useful, I'm just wondering if it's worth the dollar before I download it.

Maryland Weekly Fishing Report Overview | March 28, 2012
It would seem old Mother Nature decided to take a few steps backward in regard to the advance of spring this week and they may be a good thing in regards to adjusting nature's clock. Perhaps this cold front that is sitting upon us will set things straight with spawning runs of striped bass and other andromous fish such as hickory shad and river herring and things will get back to a more normal schedule. One fishery that is certainly on schedule is the traditional opening day of trout season this coming Saturday in the put and take areas. Fisheries crews and the volunteers that help spread the fish out have been busy stocking trout in your favorite fishing waters.

Water temperatures in the lower Susquehanna River and flats area are holding around 50- 55-degrees depending where one is. Local fishing guides report that a group of striped bass arrived a little more than a week ago and seemed to have nosed into the Elk River where water temperatures may have been suitable for spawning and catch and release fishing is off limits. Fishermen have been trolling with crankbaits, casting jigs, crankbaits and bottom fishing with cut bait in the lower Susquehanna and flats area without much success lately, very few striped bass have been caught and released to date. Usually not all the fish in a spawning population arrive at the same time so there certainly is hope that more striped bass are headed up the bay and due to arrive shortly.
The white perch have been thinning out in the lower Susquehanna River and upper bay tributaries and moving out into the upper bay area. Channel catfish are plentiful in the region and hickory shad have begun to show up in sufficient numbers to provide some good catch and release fishing late in the afternoons at the Deer Creek area. Chances are that this weekend will be a good time to catch them.
In general white perch are moving down the tidal rivers of the Chesapeake to settle in to areas that traditionally hold them in late spring and summer. White perch are still being reported at Fletcher's on the Potomac near Washington D.C. but fishing with bloodworms in the lower sections of most other tidal rivers may get you into some nice perch. Fishermen are catching them at Sandy Point State Park and other areas around the bay such as this one caught by Richard Wright at the Bill Burton Fishing Pier on the lower Choptank River.

Water temperatures in the mid-bay area are running around 50-degrees this week and fishermen have been practicing a little catch and release out along the shipping channel edges by trolling large parachutes and bucktails. The warm water discharge at Calvert Cliffs Power Plant has also been drawing light tackle fishermen to try their luck at jigging near the discharge for striped bass.
Freshwater fishermen who love their largemouth bass could hardly have better catch and release fishing than right now. Conditions seem to be perfect; largemouth bass are in an aggressive and hungry pre-spawn mode of activity and are hitting just about anything from topwater lures to grub jigs. The bass are cruising near all kinds of cover ranging from underwater ledges and drop-offs to emerging grass beds. Robert Bruce sent us this picture of a real nice largemouth bass he caught and released and an angler's log of his fishing trip on the tidal Potomac River.

Trout fishermen are getting geared up for the big opener this Saturday in the Put and Take areas where fisheries biologist have been busy stocking trout. All manner of fishermen from the fly fishermen in waders to the young fishermen in sneakers will be trying their luck in the hopes of taking a few trout home with them. Powerbait is perhaps one of the best baits for fishing for stocked trout; it seems like candy to them, they just can't resist. Most trout fishermen spent quite a bit of time enjoying the pre-season stockings at many of the put and take waters earlier in the month and late February. The special catch and release trout management areas continue to provide wonderful catch and release opportunities for fishermen not concerned about taking fish home.
Fishermen in the Ocean City area are beginning to see some surf action as a few bluefish and striped bass are being caught this week by fishermen using bait. Skates and dogfish are out there also ready to chew up baits. Tautog continue to move inside the inlet and fishermen are finding fishing improving as water temperatures reach 54-degrees. Offshore the boats heading out to the inshore wreck and artificial reef sites are finding large tautog for their customers.
To say opening day of trout season is usually crowded is the ultimate understatement. It is as much a social event as it is a fishing outing. - Author unknown
Keith Lockwood has been writing the Fishing Report since 2003 and has had a long career as a fisheries research biologist since 1973. Over the course of his career he has studied estuarine fishery populations, ocean species, and over a decade long study of bioaccumulation of chemicals in aquatic species in New Jersey. Upon moving to Oxford on the eastern shore of Maryland; research endeavors focused on a variety of catch and release studies as well as other fisheries related research at the Cooperative Oxford Laboratory. Education and outreach to the fishing public has always been an important component to the mission of these studies. Keith is an avid outdoorsman enjoying hunting, fishing, bird dogs, family and life on the eastern shore of Maryland.
Ice Conditions Still good at Deep Creek
Type: Freshwater
Region: Western
Location: Deep Creek Lake
Tags: Yellow Perch, Largemouth Bass, Chain Pickerel, Bluegills
This past Saturday, a friend and some family joined me on the ice of Deep Creek to try and ice a few Yellow Perch. The weather was great, with good cloud cover, a falling barometer, and warm temperatures. The fish were very cooperative as well, which was perfect for my two cousins who were ice fishing newcomers. I would comment on a pattern, but really about everything was working. Light colors, dark colors, bigger jigs, smaller jigs, etc. etc. We did get most of our fish jigging with small jiggin raps and tungsten Fiskas jigs, both tipped with maggots, but we experimented and found that just about every presentation was working. The tipups were productive as well, with a fair number of fish coming on them, including some pickerel and a nice largemouth. All of the fish came from less than 15 feet of water and seemed to be relating to the edge of the old weedline from the summer. All tolled, we managed our five man limit of perch ranging from 10-15, with a few pickerel for fish cakes. Two nice bonus gills have a date with the frying pan as well. It was a great day on the ice with good friends and now if it would only melt!!!
Ice conditions were still good with plenty of good black ice. There are a few inches of slush ice on top from the recent snow melt, which got a little sloppy as the day went on. Warmer weather seems to be slowly approaching, so watch the edges and always drill test holes to make sure the ice is safe! Good luck out there!
Good Ice Fishing in Western MD
Type: Freshwater
Region: Western
Location: Deep Creek Lake
Tags: Yellow Perch, Walleye, Northern Pike, Chain Pickerel, Ice Fishing
I ice fished Deep Creek Lake on Sunday, Feb. 23rd, with some friends. It was a beautiful 45-degree day. We had good action on tip-ups all morning but no luck jigging; probably because we were too busy tending tip-ups to jig! Caught lots of small-to-medium Chain Pickerel, one nice Northern Pike, and several dandy perch like the 13-incher pictured. We also landed two beautiful Walleyes, the largest 23 inches (pictured). Having lived in Minnesota and Wisconsin for 28 years, I can state that the ice fishing in western MD is as consistently good as any I experienced Up North.
Rain and Snow Doesn't Stop This Kid
Type: Freshwater
Region: Western
Location: North Branch of Potomac River, Barnum area
Tags: Rainbow Trout
I fished at Barnum on 3-2-14 and caught 5 nice Rainbow Trout. The weather was cold, cloudy and rainy and then started to snow. We got a message from Mom saying the roads were getting snow covered up where I live so me and Dad headed home.

"*The Old Red Barn
A poem by Valerie Curtiss
Out behind the red barn where Grandpa used to smoke,
lying in the tall grass; what memories this evokes.
I lie beneath the willows that shimmer in the breeze,
and, remember days together spent in the old house 'neath the trees.
In winter we would sled the hills, cries frozen in midflight.
We'd skate the pond, and build a fort, make snowballs for a fight.
Come Spring we'd fish, and gather flowers, and till the land for sowing.
We'd dig the soil, and plant the seeds, or take the boat out rowing.
By summertime we'd toss the hay, and picnic on the lawn.
We'd search the sky for well-loved stars, and talk the night 'till dawn.
In autumn, we would gather fruits of seeds that we had sown, and
Decorate the Church hall for another Harvest Home.
But now the folks are dead and gone, and all those happy times
Are merely ghosts whose shadows move across my tired old mind.
Now folks tell me "you can't go home," how true that may well be,
But when I see an old red barn, it brings back home to me.*"
