"A quarter of cell towers, broadband Internet and television services in Superstorm Sandy's path were still dark Wednesday."
see Sandy knocks out 25% of cell towers in its path – Oct. 31, 2012.
One of the things I have noticed on the CNN coverage of the hurricane's effects is that citizens are gathering around CNN's vehicles, charging their smart phones and accessing free wifi. This is something citizens with a little technical know-how could do for themselves. Anyone with a south-facing window, roof or just the lawn can put up a solar panel to produce a few watts of power for charging batteries. The wholesale cost of one panel is ~$1/watt and a charger needs only a few watts. Walmart sells gadgets based on the same idea but at a much higher price per watt.
A small but rugged wind generator could supply power in the aftermath of the storm in a brisk wind day or night.
Combine wind and solar power with a batter and inverter for gadgets and almost any home could be self-sufficient in electrical power. Add gadgets to connect to the Internet by satellite and to open a wireless access point and every home within 100m could have free wifi and a bit of power during a prolonged outage. That does nothing about heat, food and shelter, but it's a start. A stock of tarps, ropes, blankets, water and dehydrated food should keep folks alive indefinitely. The ability to communicate will facilitate recovery.

Robert Pogson on the finer point the Ag Cu mixes that passes are an alloy they are not pure metal. Different wire makers in fact use different alloy mixes that mean they do have slightly different properties in conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Just to be stupid you can get C11000 rating on a alloy that contains no copper. You find some of them in Manhattan USA and some building where they don't want to replace wires in particular areas any-time soon. Those are Ag/Au Wires. The Cu percentage of the spec in fact can be Cu, Ag or Au. Of course due to the high price of gold Ag/Au wires are rare. Yes you could officially label Ag/Au wires copper C11000 wires(not that you would in current market). There are some tri mix C11000 wires in existence that are Cu/Ag/Au.
This is why you see electrical wiring with different corrosion resistance. Yet same C11000 rating its all todo with how much silver and gold is mixed into the copper.
Really old wiring has lower odds of being a corrosion resistant alloy and more odds of being pure copper. Also more odds to have broken isolation in places so letting contamination enter along the run as well.
Yes the fun of government specs for wiring. 99.9 percent really Cu or 89.9 Cu 10 Ag or even 50 Ag 49.9 Au are all the same to being C11000 wire as long as the conductively passes.
So there are a quite a few approved alloys for so called copper wiring under C11000 not all of them can be used in Australia due to the fact not all of them have enough corrosion resistance. Not all of them are affordable to use like Ag/Au wire(absolutely corrosion resistant stuff).
Robert Pogson sorry its just the reality of it. Electrical Copper wire does not have to be copper at all. Just currently Copper is cheaper than Ag and Au so the percentages of Ag and Au makers will want to keep down. Of course is a trade off more copper less corrosion resistance.
Next time you strip some new copper wire from different makers pay attention to the colour. You will notice some are a lighter colour and some are a darker colour. Higher the Ag content the lighter the colour. Some less dependable makers the colour varies between batches quite a bit even along length of wire worse. I had silver colour in what was called copper wire because that section was basically pure silver. Poorly mixed metal for wire yes this does bring some nasty expand and contract problems. If they were all pure copper with low O2 they would be all basically the same colour.
This is how I found out they were alloy not pure. I was wondering why different areas in one building had stuffed up and other areas had not. Even that the wiring had all be done at the same time and exposed to exactly the same stuff. It was 3 corrosion resistant different rolls of wire from 3 different makers.
After that I paid more attention to corrosion resistant rating on the wire I was getting. Conductively is only one value.
Electrolytic copper is not pure copper. C11000 is what your house hold wiring is here. That is copper/silver. Cu-Ag wire used by Australian standard does not suffer from creep. The Cu-Al stuff was never approved in Australia. The silver content high enough gives corrosion resistance.
Robert Pogson
–"to make sure there is no hidden joins." – Here, our building codes require all joints to be made in junction boxes accessible from outside the finished wall. The drywall and insulation have to be stripped anyway.–
Australian building codes badly allow for junction boxes inside finished walls with out exposed markers they are there.
The wiring older than 15 years old in Australia could be joined and taped without having to be placed in a junction box. Taped with that horrid self gluing rubber stuff makes the connection when new fully water proof. A few years on not so much. At worst this will be inside one of the noggin or studs. So not visible until you pull the wire out.
Also illegal wiring modifications in other countries have a habit of being worse.
Residual-current device RCD is what a Ground-fault-interrupters are called in Australia. They are mandatory here. So those ground faults that are human killing the system just will not work.
–Corrosion is a problem when electrolysis occurs on wires left "live".– Mandatory building wide RCD means this don't happen here straight from the flood normally short to ground will kill power with the RCD.
Our issues are all active neutral bridging.
Robert Pogson
–It is possible to GFI every outlet in a house but it has a capital and labour cost.–
This is cheaper and simpler than most governments think. Australia the RCD(what you call GFI) is boxes in the fuse box. So checking power points in groups.
Labour cost doing it that way is dead cheep. No different to a RCD with a power board. Just the power board is huge.
What you call Australian straight forward thinking. Look at a GFI power board and think how in heck does that work. Then compare that to house hold wiring. Copy and you get GFI every min cost. Ok it does have a downside. It is not selective to one power point. All the power points on a circuit go out at once. In flood this is exactly what you want to happen.
Robert Pogson
–Building wiring can be submerged for days and then dried off with little effect on function. Done properly, covers should be removed to enhance drying before power is reapplied.–
To be correct its where the wiring joints are is the problem. The big hazard contamination at wiring joints allowing shorting leading to fires. The method you described could see a house fire 3 to 6 months after the flood when wood dries out near the short that slow not enough to blow fuses or flip circuit breakers.
So the wiring is basically destroyed from being usable until it can be fully inspected and cleaned. To fully inspect to you basically have to remove all the walling in the area flooded or pull new wiring through to make sure there is no hidden joins. Then when the buildings at 20+ years old you might as well while you at it replace the wiring. Since by doing that you don't miss a join.
Basically removing the covers is not enough. All the wall points and switches that got wet and possible contaminated has to be replaced. Every junction or join that got wet has to be redone. After flood everyone is out of that stuff.
Flood followed by Fire really does sux. Yes its a direct result of no doing the clean up properly.
I should have been more exact. Destroyed from being able to be used and possibility to the point of being simple and safer to replace than dry. Fully submerged building it is really simpler to write the existing wiring fully off. Since then when you strip the wall panels you strip all wiring and start over.
–House-wiring can last a century without flooding and a single flooding will not do more damage to the wiring than a century of neglect.–
True but official operational life span for wiring is 40 years. Flooding might do 40 years worth of damage to a joint somewhere leading to a fire. Yes the joints fail before the wires themselves.
So after flooding you are stuck without power for quite a while even if the power grid is restored. People do get themselves into big trouble letting the wiring dry and not redoing the joints and connect a generator to house resulting in them losing more due to fire. What insurance will not cover.
This is the most important thing you have had one disaster. You don't want todo anything that can bring another disaster down on top of you.
Problem is even well-made connection(joints) due to wind and other vibration effects on buildings over 20 years will develop defects defects large enough to let flood driven mud that may or may not be conductive/flammable into joint. The big nasty problem is you dry house the mud can go non conductive but when the next rain/storm turns up and the humility rises turns the mud conductive and a short followed by possible fire. So the short-circuits from flooding can happen months to years down the track.
Corrosion is not what you are worried about. Due to the copper alloys used in wire Corrosion is that slow flood is not the problem. Its the contamination that is the issue.
If a wire was fully submerged at a end. Most electrical wire is multi core. It is possible for the contamination to go inside the isolation react with the coper alloy and make it more resistant so generate more heat as well. This does depend on what minerals were in the flood water.
Rules of wiring replacement do alter slightly based on what your house was flooded with.
The sea water is not that bad. Some river water on the other hand the wiring that was wet is classed as fully destroyed due to what it done to copper. You generic statement is a very hazard one Robert. There are a few factors that define if can dry the wiring or if you should just replace it all. Big one is what was the flood water.
Even so wiring still basically destroyed and worthless until it can be fixed properly. You are normally talking weeks until the building wiring can be fully fixed. Due to the fact new wall switchs and points and other required items to fix will be in short supply.
This is something people who are about to be flooded don't get. Its not a few days to bring power back to a flooded house. Lack of supply of parts is the biggest delay. Really you have to get the parts. If you want to run the risk of people being electrocuted or fires due to the contamination yes you could possible bring power back up in days.
Electrolysis of water of what is a big one we had here. It was from something you could forget about. Solar panels on roofs. They don't turn off when power grid turns off. Robert Pogson we had a few people hospitalised due to solar panels resulting in hydrogen and 02 building up in a wall cavity(yes big bang problem). Rule one now when considering entering a building that was flooded building go up and check roof for solar panels first if they are there make sure they are disabled then be really really careful.
After flood its not over.
–WHat good is a bicycle equipped with a generator when your house is ruined in a flood….–
Ok so you will get flooded and looted because you could not remain on site how bright of you.
oldman bike with generator you can use at a shelter. Also lot of these bicycle generators are water proof. So even if they had been submerged by the flooding they are still usable after very minor cleaning and drying.
Being able to run you electronic devices allows you to submit your insurance claims. So get your house repaired sooner. Flooding will have destroyed all the house wiring. So even if you can clean the house enough to camp in it your will not have power.
Being able to run your communications is key to be able to rebuild. You don't need a full computer to start the process of submitting the insurance claims or to be organising relations and the like to help you out.
Bike with a generator is your best friend. Allows you to stay on site sooner even in a tent. This reduces the odds of looting.
Bike generators are tough little buggers. Solar and Wind will be destroyed before they are.
Bike generators have been useful in Australia after areas were burnt completely to ground as well. The means to be operating on-site without needing large volume of fuel allows the clean up and rebuilding to start sooner.
Communications means you can have resources brought to you. Communications is also key if someone on-site gets hurt. Due to road and other damage it might be impossible to get a car in and out where a push bike with effort can get through.
Ideal set of vehicles. 1 push bike with generator, 1 motor bike, 1 ute. Bare min vehicles 1 push bike with generator.
After flooding and fire there can be a fuel shortage for trucks and motor bikes. The fuel is better uses for moving rubbish away and bringing supplies in. Organising full loads in and out needs communications. Also needs people at each site to receive stuff.
Of course there is nothing to say you will not be the bugger who has run completely out of fuel. Bike + generator at least allows you to talk to emergence services to get food and other key items delivered while you do the manual labour cleaning up the site.
Remember after a flood you may not have a job either since that can be destroyed as well.
Sorry oldman your the idiot here. I have worked with after natural disaster quite a bit here in Australia.
The people with working generators and the means to be on-site will normally get their houses rebuilt first also suffer the least after the flood property damage.
Yes bike generators are not ideal. But they are tough. Petrol generator that has been under water are normally major-ally damaged. Cars that have been drowned also have problems.
Bike generators are one of the few things that you can possible salvage from a flooded house that can be got to working order in a few hours. Normally the issue is the bike not the generator.
Yes you want at least 1 power source that is tough and simple to repair.
WHat good is a bicycle equipped with a generator when your house is ruined in a flood….
Robert Pogson 50w-H was presumed. Generators on bikes have seen effort to be between 750W to about 900W when on a stationary stand. Turns out a human walking around requires a nice bit of force. This is why you don't need special fitness to generate 250 if you can walk at a decent speed that is all that is required. Yes the 4 hour limit is allowing on how unfit on average the USA population is. 50w-H is what you can extract from bike going somewhere with the human.
The basic generators to charge usb devices have a power maximiser circuit. That is a regulator and capacitor combination. The device you are charging has the battery. Due to portable devices being made to tolerate charging from basic car power circuits they are the battery in this case.
http://www.voltscommissar.net/minimax/minimax.htm Ok this is for a 12 volt motor and solar. For DC charging of devices a maximiser beats inverter.
A maximiser circuit can deal with the worst problem of generators on bikes. Humans don't like have to put out a extra 50W when starting off moving or having the 50W extract hitting them quickly.
There are maximisers for wind generators. They are the same as bike ones. Both have the same basic goal allow the item to get moving so power can be extracted.
Lot of people see the small bike generators and think of old head light generators that were pricks for applying force to prevent moving off since they look the same. Yes the tech for bike generators have moved on.
Moore's Law does not exactly apply to power usage. So far every time it allows us to go smaller we find that we can go faster so end up burning the same amount of power. Power usage for mobile phones flat lined about 4 years ago.
The sad part is if you had even the most basic generator on a bike to charge usb devices. Yes the one without the stand under 150 dollars worth you would have charged phone/tablet more in the same time than people who were queing around the cnn vans. It mounts kinda the same as those old generator lights that were on bikes. So gone out picked up some food and water and other requirements instead of standing around a cnn van not working for own survival and in the process charged the phone/tablet.
Pedal power to run emergency coms is nothing new by the way. They are quite a compact bit of kit. For us on the road a lot the self stand version requiring no bike is a good safe guard you can recharge sat phones and other com gear even run that gear directly.
Some of these areas that regularly get cyclones and other nasty class storms really making generators mandatory on push bikes would be a good idea. Since this is a form of power generation that is not weather effected too badly. More likely to save a life than a push bike helmet.
Serous-ally 15 min trip on a bike can be enough for a phone/tablet to work for the next 4 hours.
A human is good for 250 Watts per hour on a bike on a stand for about 4 to 5 hours. Does not have to be a highly fit human. So almost as good as the Wind generator. But the bike generator is smaller and you don't depend on the wind turning up.
That is 250 watt is only extracting about 1/3 of what a human can do. Average Humans at max about equal 2/3 horse power.
Yes if you total up the people standing around the cnn van and compare to to the truck engine. There was more horse power standing around in the que than what was in the vans engine.
The amount of power than can be harvested from humans is quite a lot. Particularly with the new highly power effective tech. So a hour on a push bike is enough to run a 10 watt bulb for the next 24 hours. So 2 hours a day on bike you have basic telecommunications and basic lighting. That 2 hours does not have to be stationary.
Advantage 2 hours can be done inside if it raining.
There is another option other than solar or wind. Mobile phones and arm based devices don't need that much power. 1 human power can run a lot.
Advantage of bicycle power you don't need to go outside and works when ever the human needs it to.
1 human is enough to run radios, arm computers, phones and power effective LCD screens. Wind up torches take care of lighting. Heating and storing food is where problems should start.
1 push bike does have some other advantages. A push bike does not need petrol. Petrol is something that can get a little short after a disaster. So Petrol is better kept for critical things.
Solar panels and wind generators that were deployed also can be damaged to not operational. Big storms are not nice on solar panels. Most of the push bike generators are very tough. So as long as they have not flown off somewhere they are fairly simple to fix up.

Hurricane Sandy is only hours from making landfall in northern Delaware, but the impact on the business community is already severe.
Supply chain interruptions and closure by civil authority have likely already prompted some claims — and that's before the full force of Sandy's winds and rain can cause property damage.
"You're going to see a number of issues surrounding this event," says Colleen Vallen of accounting firm Citrin Cooperman, who has worked for both carriers and insureds on business insurance claims. "You're first going to see property damage being the focus, but then you're going to see business interruption. That includes contingent business interruption for businesses who are impacted by those with damage."
[Will we know about the next Sandy in advance?]
Vallen says that documentation will be the key to getting claims resolved quickly and amicably. The better losses are documented, the less chance of a claim being bogged down in investigation.
"There's a level of analysis from both sides of the equation," Vallen explains. "People need to be prepared for the process, but because of the widespread volume insurers are going to do what they can to move things forward."

The Senior Men fall short against Puerto Rico
This morning, Canada made a valiant comeback but ran out of time falling to Puerto Rico 79-74. Despite tying the game at one point after being down 15 points, PR pulled away late. This loss means that the window of opportunity is closing for the Senior Men to qualify for the Olympics and Canada will need to win both the next two games against Uruguay and Panama to have any hope of making it to the now coveted fifth place spot in this tournament. The team plays again tomorrow morning at 10:30am.

Charlotte, NC (Sports Network) - The Carolina Panthers have signed safety Quintin Mikell and placed safety Haruki Nakamura on injured reserve.
Nakamura is sidelined with a concussion. He started 13 games for the Panthers last year and recorded a pair of interceptions after playing his first four NFL seasons in a reserve role with Baltimore.
Mikell, a 10-year veteran, spent the past two seasons with St. Louis after playing his first eight years with Philadelphia.
In 155 NFL games, including 91 starts, the Boise State product has 742 tackles, 12 interceptions, eight sacks, seven fumble recoveries and 16 forced fumbles. He was a 2009 Pro Bowl selection.

Clara "Oswin" Oswald Cosplay Refs and Help!
From Asylum of the Daleks to A Nightmare in Silver.
(Name of the doctor will have its own post if requested)
Clara became the companion of the Eleventh Doctor following the Ponds departure. She is called an occasional companion because unlike most travellers in the Tardis, she only travels once a week, usually wednesdays. She is a mystery to the Doctor because she has apparently died twice.
Clara wears a long sleeved red dress, it's back longer than it's front. The brand is Silence + Noise Space Dye Dress in Red. She wears either a khaki jacket or a grey cardigan over the top. The cardigan is Sparkle & Fade Drape Pocket Cardigan. She wears an eagle necklace over the top from Urban Outfitters. She also wears black boots with silver buckles and red gloves while on the motorbike. The gloves are Zara Studded Leather Gloves in Red. But you don't have to get the brand name things. If you find things that are similiar or you can make them yourself, go for it!
Clara wears blue dress with black and white crosses underneath a black leatherish jacket. The same shoes and stockings as the previous episode are worn in this one. She also sports a nice red shoulder bag. The dress is Silence & Noise Fishtail Shirtdress, which if you are lucky can be found on ebay. But if you find one similar or can make one yourself, go ahead! She also carries her book, 101 Places to See, with the red leaf inside.
She wears very shiny, 80's? style blue dress in this episode, with glittery heels and a russian cold war, military jacket. Now you will probably have to either make or find a similar jacket and sew bits on to achieve this look. Any shiny dress, whether you make it or buy it will do. The coat jacket has fluffy white cuffs. Also any glittery high heeled shoes with a buckle will do but the brand is Red or Dead Shirley Glitter Heels. She wears her hair up in a messy pony tail. She also has a small white purse which has a chain strap.
A blue patterned dress with a dark blue blazer, sleeves rolled up. Again she wears black stockings with different black lace up shoes. The dress is Pins and Needles Vintage-Style Ditsy Dress, but any will do. She wears gold bangles on her left wrist. An extra prop might be a candlestick holder..with candles.
Clara wears a cute red dress with a black collar and brown boots, very similar to the ones worn in Bells of Saint John. She wears her hair up in a bun. The dress is Vaudeville & Burlesque Fit and Flare Dress UK Urban Outfitters but it does not sport the collar. Which may have been added to the dress after purchase, or is some sort of accessory. You can make a similar collar here. The shoes are Jules All Saints Biker Boots but like with the rest, any will do. Any patterned dress in similar colours is fine also. She also wears gold? triangle stud earrings in her ears, the point is pointing down.
Two more victorian dresses for Clara~ Making four in all. I'm going to direct you to that victorian site again. Here. It can help you way better than I can. She wears her hair very curly, possibly permed this time. You may need a wig for this one.
Good luck…
A black and red patterned dress with a red collar is worn underneath a black leatherish jacket. Again, with black stockings and black lace up shoes. She wears at least 3 rings on her fingers. She also wears a gold wreathed badge with wings. The dress is Urban Outfitters Sparkle & Fade Carnation Zip and the jacket is All Saints Axelle Denim Jacket. BUT ANYTHING SIMILAR IS FINE.
Name of the Doctor will have its own post and anything related to Clara that is found or reblogged can be found under the tags: Clara, Clara Oswin, Clara Oswin Oswald, Clara Cosplay.

The folks over at Mocking the Draft have a full 5 round mock they put up yesterday, and while I'm not a huge fan of all the picks I see the rationale behind it- rush the passer. Simply put, the Carolina Panthers need to get a more reliable and consistent pass rush and in turn that will make the defense better.
The following is directly from the linked mock draft, with my commentary
1st round: Quinton Coples, DE- North Carolina
I have problems with Coples as a prospect, as I feel he gets lazy a lot. If Rivera can get him to play to his full potential every down then he could be a dominant player.
More after the jump
2nd round: Vontaze Burfict, OLB- Arizona State
He tends to lose himself at times and can become undisciplined, but he has ability to be a nasty pass rusher at the next level from the OLB position.
4th round: Don Barclay, OL- West Virginia
A big 6'4", 310 lb player who played LT for the mountaineers. Projects better to RT or RG at the next level, but a decent mid-round addition.
5th round: Coryell Judie, CB- Texas A&M
A smaller sized corner with a lot of potential coming off an injury... sounds like Brandon Hogan 2.0, but without the character concerns. Seems like another solid mid round pick, I just hope we don't wait until the 5th to address the secondary.

But not the Redlands Mall.
Actually, this is about malls and maps. Esri, Redlands' GIS giant, has posted a story map on its website about America's 50 largest shopping malls.
I wasn't surprised to find that the Mall of America, in Bloomington, Minn., is the largest in the nation. It bills itself that way.
But I was surprised to learn that South Coast Plaza, in Costa Mesa, is the third largest. It has 2.7 million leaseable square feet and 300 stores. And 15,000 parking spaces, which sounds like a lot but at this time of year, maybe not so much.
The shopping mall story map offers lots of information — and it's interactive. The malls, listed by size, are represented by lines. Hover your mouse over one and it will tell you which mall it represents. Click on a line and you get two maps of the mall, a closeup and a nationwide view.
A description appears and along with facts about the development — square feet, number of stores, year built, etc.
By the way, four of the 50 are in Southern California. Curious about which ones? Click here to check it out.

Research: SMU paleontologist identifies new Texas fossil species
A new species of coelacanth fish has been discovered in Texas. Pieces of tiny fossil skull found in Fort Worth have been identified as 100 million-year-old coelacanth bones, according to SMU paleontologist John Graf. The coelacanth has one of the longest … Continue reading

The MWC is now 12 teams with two divisions: Mountain: Boise State, Utah State, Air Force, Wyoming, Colorado State, New Mexico. And West: Fresno State, San Jose State, San Diego State, Nevada, Nevada Las Vegas and Hawaii.
It grew to 14 teams last year with the addition of Missouri and Texas A&M and seems content, for now, to stay there.
Big 12
Holding steady at 10, without a league title game and no inkling Texas will leave in the next 10 or 15 minutes.
No change after the less-than-inspiring (so far) additions of Utah and Colorado.
No change for this salt-of-the-earth league.
It's still upright despite losing Houston, SMU, Memphis and Central Florida. This year's lineup has two, seven-team divisions. Check your local listings for complete roster of names.
Sun Belt
The only league that got a shorter stick was the WAC, which was disbanded. The Sun Belt will play with only eight schools this year and loses Western Kentucky to C-USA in 2014. If you want to start a football program and join a league, send your business plan to the home office in New Orleans.

Isawad, Basilan Rotary complete model house for Gawad Kalinga
By: Rene V. Carbayas
Monday 3rd of June 2013
ISABELA CITY, Basilan, June 3 (PIA) â The Isabela Water District (Isawad) and the Basilan Rotary Club have completed the model house for the Gawad Kalinga housing project in Pamucalin Village, Lantawan town, Basilan.
Thirty houses will be constructed at Pamucalin site.
Isawad General Manager and Vice-President of the Basilan Rotary Club Alelie Almodovar said the organization immediately responded to the invitation of Team Basilan and Gawad Kalinga to take part in the housing project.
âMore than building the house, we also believe that we can contribute in building a community of peace by assisting to build homes to the poorest of the poor for the betterment of the society,â Almodovar said.
She said that with the help of some personnel in the water district and the members of the Rotary Club, they were able to complete the house in just a few weeks with the support of the military who assisted the team with transportation.
âItâs always the commitment of Isawad and Rotary Club to community service,â she noted, adding that the construction team only goes to the site on Saturdays.
Kohlee Calzada, Gawad Kalinga project coordinator said that the project is part of the ongoing Bayani Challenge 2013 which was launched nationwide last March 23-27, 2013 in Lantawan with some 500 volunteers. The project, he said, is a yearly activity of Gawad Kalinga.
Calzada said GK values its partners because the projects could not be accomplished without them.
âWe are lucky that we have Isawad and Rotary as our partners in this development program,â he said.
Calzada hopes that the project will contribute to peace building in this part of the island. He invited Isawad and the Rotary to continue to support the project even after the turnover of the model house last May 17.
Meanwhile, Gov. Jum Akbar thanked the donors and partners in completing the GK project in Pamucalin and hopes that more and more groups and organizations will extend support and assistance for the completion of the 30 housing units. (ALT/RVC/PIA9-ZBST)

you obviously do not know your shit. UMA kills, Sasaya is great, Hashi is very good and the list goes on, especially if you include west berlin. I won't do your job for you though, go eat.
(onigiri stand in schönleinstr. station?! jesus)
Thursday, January 31, 2013 by Florian Duijsens
In a city that still seems to think sushi the be- and end-all of Japanese cuisine (honorable exceptions of course include ramen-haven Cocolo and that onigiri stand at Schönleinstrasse station), it's a rare treat to come across Nazuna, a quietly popular lunchroom on a rather unsightly stretch of Danziger Strasse. With its understated butcher's shop interior and minimal bench seating, however, Nazuna is at first sight perhaps not encouraging you to bide awhile, instead kindly sending you on your way back to the office, bento box in hand.
Yet those settling in for a sit-down lunch and a few bowls of tea are in for a soothing and well-composed experience. From a simple clear broth to the various sizes of boxed lunches, the emphasis here is on subtle texture and flavor contrasts–not your usual sandwich and soup combo then. The bento box contents are usually not warm and change day by day, their compartments filled with traditional spinach salad, perfect little pork and tofu balls, crispy-sweet fried chicken, tender cabbage salad, or finely calibrated rice.
These are the kinds of lunches that won't set you back too much and still manage to both get you fed and make you feel healthy about your veggie intake. But don't forget to share a dessert, though, as their beautifully presented, homemade chocolates, lollipops, cakes, and puddings are exactly the kind of supersweet and delicious Japanese cuisine is famous for–I'd recommend this yuzu cake or that green-tea mousse.

I'm a big fan of Sasaya, of course, and was just happy that Nazuna serves Japanese food that wasn't sushi. Have you been to Mamecha?
maintanos on
yes, it's not bad but kinda amateurish, portions are too small too. there's a new addition on Ackerstr., cant remember the name but you can't miss it. One of the best I 've been so far. go support them, it's not busy so far and I'm afraid they ll close it down.

We did try food from Nazuna after reading the post here. The desserts were very nice but the rest i wouldn't recommend :(

Is Brock Bond a prospect?
Bond just came off of a 5 for 5 night and is hitting .323 overall in Connecticut (which is no small feet) while playing 2nd base nearly everyday. He has virtually no power but his SO/BB ratio seems very good leading to a .323/.496/.394 line. Could he be the player the Giants hoped they drafted when they drafted Burriss minus the speed? Is there anyway he can play shortstop and is he a top 30 prospect? If so where in the top 30?

MENOMONIE, Wis. (AP/WQOW) - Dunn County authorities say slippery roads in western Wisconsin are suspected in a three-vehicle crash that killed a woman and put another in the hospital.The crash happened around 1 p.m. Sunday on State Highway 64 near Boyceville, north of Menomonie.The sheriff's office says in a statement that the initial investigation indicates an eastbound car sideswiped a westbound pickup truck. That crash caused the car to slide into the path of a second oncoming pickup, which struck the car on the passenger side, killing the passenger on impact.The driver of the car was taken to an Eau Claire hospital. The severity of his injuries was not immediately known.
The Dunn County Sheriff says names are not being released pending family notification. He wants to remind drivers to stay safe out there, as the roads are still very slick.
Dunn County (WQOW) - One woman has died in a car crash in Dunn County. It happened on Highway 64 near County VV this afternoon. The Dunn County Sheriff says her name is not being released pending family notification. He wants to remind drivers to stay safe out there, as the roads are becoming very slick.
Press Release from the Dunn County Sheriff's Department: On January 27th 2013 at 1:07 p.m. the Dunn County Communication center was notified of a three vehicle crash on State Highway 64 about a mile west of County Highway VV.
Dunn County Sheriff's Deputies, Boyceville Ambulance and Boyceville Fire Department responded to the scene. Wisconsin State Patrol was also requested to do a reconstruction of the crash.
Upon the initial investigation it appears that an eastbound passenger car side-swiped a westbound pickup truck. That initial crash caused the car to slide sideways into the path of a second westbound pickup truck which struck the car on the passenger side of the vehicle. The passenger of the car was killed on impact with the second truck.
Slippery road conditions are suspected to have contributed to the crash. The Dunn County Sheriff's Office is reminding everyone to slow down and take their time when the road conditions are poor.
The name is being withheld pending notification of family. The drivers and passengers of the two trucks involved were uninjured due to the use of seat belts and air bags. The driver of the car was transported to Mayo Hospital in Eau Claire and is being treated for injuries. It is unknown at this time of the severity of his injuries.
The crash remains under investigation by the Dunn County Sheriff's Department and Wisconsin State Patrol.

36 weeks. Wow, when did that happen? I'm actually closer to 37 weeks now as I type this, meaning that there are only about 3 weeks left until we get to meet this little one. So exciting!
In terms of cycling and staying fit this past week, it's been a good week of balance. I rode my bike on a number of occasions, mostly taking short (no more than 5 miles round trip) rides to nearby destinations. Today, however, I already rode just over 5 miles this morning and I'd like to take one more bike ride before this evening, which would put me at around a 10 mile total for the day. This would be by far the most bike-intensive day I've had this week.
(If you're wondering how I know exactly how much I'm cycling, it's because I've reattached my bike computer to my bike as I've been increasingly curious to see how much I'm riding these days).
But like I said, it's been a week of balance more than of long rides. I attended my prenatal water aerobics class twice and I went to prenatal yoga once. I walked my dog a couple of times and I started – and this is big for me – doing some of my yoga stretches at home in the evening. All in all, a good mix of a variety of activities that have left me feeling surprisingly good and mobile.
I mentioned this before, but it bears being said again: One of the things that I've come to really appreciate from this pregnancy, and that I will take with me long after my body has (hopefully) resumed to its normal state, is the habit of mixing things up. Before being pregnant, I was a runner. And I ran a ton of miles and never felt like doing anything but running. Then I discovered cycling, but I did that mostly for transportation and running remained my main mode of exercise and meditation.
Running, as you can guess, was the first thing to go once I got pregnant. I managed to shuffle on until about mid second trimester and then I stopped. That feels like ages ago to me now. I would have gone crazy had that been the end of my exercise and fitness routine. Being forced to look for gentler and more pregnancy appropriate ways to stay healthy has turned out to be the best thing that's happened to me during these past months (well, other than this baby, of course). I thought I was being healthy and fit by being such a dedicated runner, but I've felt so much better (physically and psychologically) since varying my routine and including activities that make me move (cycling, swimming) with others that make me focus on stretching, lenghtening my muscles, and turning inward (yoga).
The meditative aspect of yoga has also made me feel increasingly ready for the birth. And my midwife notes that the physical aspects of cycling, walking, and swimming will have me well prepared for laboring. My husband and I met with her on Tuesday this week and we specifically discussed that I'm still riding my bike, to which I got an unreserved 'thumbs up' to proceed.
According to my midwife, since I've been riding my bike on a regular basis all throughout my pregnancy, there is no reason to stop now. My body is used to this type of activity and it doesn't come as a shock to the system. So if you're pregnant, make sure to consult with your medical care provider to see what it appropriate for you to be doing. But ask about your options and look for community classes (prenatal yoga, prenatal anything…) and take full advantage of your options in staying healthy and fit during this time.
If you feel good and are not dealing with complications that cause you to be on bed rest or to take it easy physically, I highly recommend searching for your (prenatal) options in your community and maintaining a regular exercise routine that can help you transition through the months.
And besides helping me stay active, the prenatal community groups I've found have led me to meet a bunch of really wonderful soon-t0-be moms and some really great new friends. So what came of me being forced to abandon something I loved and having to find something other than running? A newfound appreciation of the many ways to engage my body and mind along with a new group of friends with similar interests and in a similar place in life. All in all, not a bad trade.

Ask your Cellular service provider to send you settings by SMS. there is a ver big possibiltiy that if you visit their website there will be some USSD command or BOSS using which you can get settings on your phone. (IT depends only on the service provider. Whe you get the SMS with settings, open it and then select save from options.
go to settings > connectivity>setting>Network destinations>new access point>(select "No" when it asks to automatically check for avaiable access points)>Mobile data> (give it a name for e.g. XXXX). this will add "xxxx" as a access point. the click on XXXX and then manually enter the settings (settings can be given only by the service provider- normally they are on service provider's web page)

are we sitting comfortably? This is my experience, and i hope it helps. I updated to Belle from Anna 2 days ago. I installed tons of games (some had not transferred over with the switch) and also 1 or 2 apps, incl KASPERSKY once i removed F-SECURE. EVERYTHING seemed to work ok including wifi. My problem only came about when 1 of my games froze (Angry Birds) and i switched off and restarted. = no WIFI.
quite basically all i did (after reading through the TONS of comments) was to UNinstall Kaspersky, restrart phone and WIFI is now working.
NOT ideal but until a fix etc will let you now connect.
ps KASPERSKY (mobile9) never did seem to look or function right on Belle. Things like the logo and tabs on it didn't function - hey-ho. Another £20 wasted....pfft
13-02-2012 13:53
I also had problems with WiFi & 3G. After factory reset and uninstalling SPB Wireless Monitor everything seems te be ok for me.
13-02-2012 15:37
One final update. I got a feedback from Nokia. See below.... I didn't try it yet, and I am not sure I will (I'm quite ok with the workaround power saving), but, this could indeed be THE solution...
Hi Flavio
Since our last interaction we have gathered a bit more information on the subject.
The error appears because of a corrupted file in backup, in section "Phone and application settings" (english key icon in back up process section, where you can choose which data to save. Do not include this part in backup).
To solve this,
- you do need to make a hard reset (*#7370# ),
- then re-install Nokia Belle with the Nokia Suite and restore back up, except that part (meaning a backup without Phone and applications settings included).
It should solve the issue.
If the error remains, it's necessary to make a Deep Reset ( phone switched off, press low volume, camera and menu keys, then switch on phone maintaing hold on those keys until phone starts) before reinstall Belle and restore back up as i say before.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards
Nokia Care
13-02-2012 18:52
Thanks for sharing this. The *#7370# hard reset and reinstallation of Belle fixed the issue on my C7.
13-02-2012 19:14
How do you re-install Belle? Hard reset *#7370# keeps belle installed in the phone...
13-02-2012 19:24 - edited 13-02-2012 19:27
You need to use Nokia Suite to reinstall, there is a option under software updates to reinstall the Belle update.

Try to remove all apps, especially those who need wifi or 3G connections. Then reinstall them one by one and test which one is responsible for the problem. On my C7-00 after I did hard reset, SPB Wireless monitor caused Wife & 3G to not work properly. Since I removed that app all has been ok.
14-02-2012 18:12
With Anna my N8 had no Wifi issue.. Immediately after updating with Belle the phone fails to connect to my wireless router ( D-Link) ... Why? in my case it is not corrupted files. I have done everything , Hard Reset, Deep Reset, wiped out everything ... no data left, not calender, messages, bookmarks, no maps ... Then ...
Reinstalled Belle,.and still no Wifi connection.. all them hours wasted.
My conclusion is ( why we have this post, as others with N8 have similar problem ) Belle is currently not fully compatible with all wireless routers/access points. Something Nokia has overlooked. it is. simple as that.
Not every one here suddenly had corrupted files, so you cant really blame this problem on corrupted files.
This problem didnt happen in the last couple of Anna updates..
I think we are going around in circles... if it works with some routers and not some
then we are going to have problems when using public access points, as there will be different
routers out there some will not be compatible...
This us like rolling out a car that has a common fault but the reason/s are unknown.,
then provide different (albeit trial & error) solutions, expecting the drivers to meddle under the bonnet .
like mini mechanics. and which works for some, and not for some..)
Lets dont waste time, and wait for a fix ( hopefully not for too long !)
14-02-2012 18:24
OK. I tired this and it works! I have Nokia Situations so I am not so scared of losing Battery Life.
Thanks! Kudos! I think Nokia should bring back the WiFi Setting Option of "Automatically Switch to Known WiFi... etc."

oh i found this topic to late...already done a three finger reset ...
Workaround (static ip) fixed my problem.
When running on dhcp
Subnet mask and gateway were empty. (click on wifi network and it shows name, ssid, etc...on three last lines, you will find ip address, subnetmask and gw). Subnet and gw are empty (0.0.0.0).
I also tried with 2 different router=same Problem.
With Anna the wifi connection was ok. Maybe a dhcp timeout problem on Belle.
By setting the a fixed ip i could connect succesfully to internet.
oh i just notice setting the Power saving to disabled worked also. In my case i had to reboot my N8. Thank you !!!

- Discover the Advantages of Ethernet
Advantages of Delivering Ethernet
Ethernet has emerged as the leading technology to support IP traffic for packet optimization. No alternative provides the balance of high-performance, economics, manageability, and flexibility found in a packet networking solution. Today's transport SONET/SDH-based networks are incapable of handling those capacitates, and Layer 3-centric, distributed IP router approaches are too expensive to use only for transport and aggregation when routing is not necessary.
Ethernet has emerged as the leading technology on which many next-generation networks will be based, for economic and scalable transport and delivery of fast-growing, high-bandwidth, IP-based applications. Expectations that Ethernet/IP traffic will overtake TDM traffic as the majority between 2008 and 2009. An IP router at an end-office is used primarily for aggregations, a function an Ethernet switch can perform more cost-effectively. Integrating fully featured Ethernet aggregations and switching in the metro transport system simplifies the IP/Ethernet service architecture, lowering Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) 30 to 9 percent compared to alternative metro solutions.

|Possibly something that's almost just as good as Christmas itself…it is of course Christmas movies! Yep they give us that warm feeling that everything's a little different at this special time of year, the birds sing a little louder, people smile just that little bit wider and kids everywhere go just that extra bit more huper! Oh the joy!
To help us celebrate these classic flicks and to let us enjoy them just that little bit more, check out some pretty cool facts we've found out about some of the nation's top Christmas films in our '10 Things You [Probably] Didn't Know About Your Top Christmas Films.' Enjoy!
2) Home Alone: In the scene where chief bad guy played by Joe Pesci bites Kevin's finger, he actually bit harder than expected and left Macaulay with a scar he has to this day.
3) Die Hard: Head honcho Gruber and his terrorist minions are portrayed to be speaking German throughout the film, in fact, it's so dodgy that it's not really any language and they were actually described as hailing from "Europe" in the German release of the film. Awkward!
4) National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation: A minor earthquake occurred at the time when they were filming the scene where Uncle Louis and Aunt Bethany arrive at the Griswold house. If you watch closely, you can see the camera shake slightly as she walks through the front door.
5) Elf: The scene in the department store when the fake Santa chases Buddy around the store, knocking over all his hard work, had to be done in one take — can you imagine rebuilding all that!
6) It's a Wonderful Life: The set of Bedford Falls took over two months to build on the RKO lot and became one of the longest sets ever created for an American movie. It covered over four acres and included over 70 buildings. Main Street alone was three blocks long and measured well over 300 yards.
7) A Christmas Story: A Christmas Story was a very small budget film which used tracking shots instead of Steadicam and had no special effects. The director commented that the sparks on a stunt man's butt were real and that x-ing out the bad guys' eyes was "a real trial."
8 ) Scrooged: During the scene where Carol Kane grabs Bill Murray's lip, she really latched on and accidentally tore it so badly that they had to stop filming for a few days so Bill could heal and his injuries wouldn't be so obvious on film.
9) Love Actually: Love Actually was the soooo popular when it first hit the shelves, it quickly became the most rented DVD in the UK in 2004.
10) The Polar Express: When the conductor says "11344 Edbrooke" near the beginning of the film, he's referring to director Robert Zemeckis' actual childhood home in Chicago.
So there they are folks! We hope this has got you even just a little bit more in the festive spirit and are ready to enjoy all the fun and food that Christmas brings.
On the hunt for some Christmas clothing?? Take a peep at our amazing range of Christmas Jumper and Christmas T-Shirts that are exclusive to TruffleShuffle and will complete any festive look this year and for years to come.

We've just heard some pretty spectacular news here at Truffle Towers…while we're usually pretty hot on this stuff, this one has been slow to get to us so we apologize Anywho, it appears that 80s child sensation and the kid we all wanted to be…in fact still to..came to TruffleShuffles hometown Bristol just a few weeks ago!
Child star was seen belting out Kokomo, when he took to the stage as Adam Green's special guest much to the surprise of the gig goers.
A spokesperson for the iconic Bristol venue Thekla, where the remarkable event happened, told papers: 'He just turned up as a surprise guest. Adam said we'd recognise him from Home Alone, but still nobody believed it. When he got on stage it was surreal at first, then people started realising it was him.'
Adam then hugged his famous pal before the duo began singing Kokomo together. Admittedly, we're of course green with envy that we missed this as we'd love to meet our childhood hero for a few extra home security tips at the very least.
Check out this little clip…
Well who'd have thunk it huh! Even more reason for us to get out our awesome Home Alone T-Shirts and show some love in our own special way. Take a look at our designs below…

Grandfather Charged With Shooting Grandson
By Janet Kim
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A grandfather has been charged with attempted homicide after police said he shot his grandson during a domestic dispute.
Officials with the Metro Nashville Police Department said 33-year-old Thomas Lamont Johnson was shot in the abdomen Sunday at a home on Lynwood Avenue. Police said the victim's 83-year-old grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Teague, has been charged with attempted criminal homicide and unlawful gun possession.
Police said the two had been arguing about Johnson crashing a car that was given to him by his grandparents. Neighbors say they haven't seen trouble at the home before.
"We never heard them arguing or anything like that," said David Bailey, who lives next door. "I'm surprised and I just happened to see the blue lights myself."
Bailey couldn't imagine Teague being violent.
"The man seemed like a docile type of person to me, and I didn't see him in any way being violent."
According to officials, Johnson left the home for a short period of time but later returned to the home. Police said Teague allegedly fired two shots, one of which Johnson in the abdomen.
"The grandson's activities began to wear on the grandfather and instead of calling the police, trying to do something differently, he decided to take matters into his own hands, and that's not just something we all as a society can live with," said Metro Police Spokesman Don Aaron.
Johnson was taken to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where police said he was in critical condition. Investigators said Johnson is a convicted felon with a lengthy arrest history who is presently on probation for aggravated assault.
Teague has been held in lieu of $800,000 bond pending a hearing later in the week.
