iOS7: Accessing Music Controls
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: Previous versions of iOS had a feature where one could double tap the home button on the home screen to access music controls. How does this work on iOS 7?
- Joshua
A: All of these functions have been moved to the new iOS 7 Control Center which can be accessed by swiping up from the bottom of any screen—including the lock screen—subject to your preferences set under the Control Center section in the iOS Settings app.
Double-tapping the Home button from the home screen has not actually provided direct access to music controls since prior to iOS 4.0—the point at which the recent apps tray appeared and those controls were moved to that location. Access to music controls in iOS 4, 5, and 6 therefore required multiple actions—a double-click of the home button followed by a left-to-right swipe gesture on the recent apps tray to switch over to those controls. The Control Center comes up with a single upward swipe gesture and provides direct access to not only music controls, but a number of other commonly used features.
On the iOS 7 lock screen, playback controls are now displayed automatically, without a double-tap of the Home button needed to bring them up. A triple-tap single tap of the Home button will temporarily return the standard clock view in case you need to see the time (thanks to Larry for pointing out in the comments that only a single-tap is actually required now).
Be sure to check out our complete guide to the Secrets & Features of iOS 7 for the full run-down on what's new and different.

Double-tapping the Home button from the home screen has not actually provided direct access to music controls since prior to iOS 4.0
This is simply not true. Until upgraded a few days ago to ios7, I was double-tapping on the home button constantly to play/pause/change music on 6.1.4. It is only now with ios7 that I've been unable to have access to these functions on my iphone5.
It was always possible before.
Posted by David on September 26, 2013 at 3:36 PM (CDT)
@David (#1): The key word here is direct access—meaning bringing the controls up directly on the screen as a pop-up display, with no additional gestures required. This was the normal behaviour prior to iOS 4, and in fact even for non-multitasking-capable devices (the second-generation iPod touch, for example), after iOS 4.
Since iOS 4, however, double-tapping brings up up the recent apps list first, requiring a subsequent left-to-right swipe gesture to access the playback controls.
The point is that playback controls are theoretically easier to access on iOS 7, as the home button isn't involved at all—only a swipe gesture which you would have to perform in addition to double-tapping the home button anyway.
In the very least, a swipe up gesture should be no more difficult than the older double-tap-and-then-swipe-right gesture.
Posted by Jesse Hollington in Toronto on September 27, 2013 at 2:52 PM (CDT)
You can actually just press the home button once to toggle between music controls and time.
Posted by Larry on September 27, 2013 at 9:47 PM (CDT)
@Larry (#3): Thanks for pointing that out. I've amended the article to note that. During the betas, this required a triple-tap, but it makes more sense that only a single tap should be required.
Posted by Jesse Hollington in Toronto on October 1, 2013 at 3:45 PM (CDT)
I think the original poster was referring to double tapping home **from the lock screen.** This has been possible up until IOS 7, as I also used it everyday.
I'm annoyed that it is no longer possible, as I could turn on music in the car without having to take my eyes off the road and look at my phone.
Posted by Karen Ar. on October 2, 2013 at 6:02 PM (CDT)
This is still a BIG BUG IN PROGRESS. I beta tested and still with the final release and update since the release if you start playing music from the standard icon withing the OS you can double tap the home button from the lock screen and see music controls.
However, you cannot get to your music from the lock screen without having started playing music from within the the OS.
Also when you swipe up from the lock screen to see music controls the music may not play at all. You can use Siri to launch music from the lock screen.
Posted by Spanish Fly on October 15, 2013 at 7:39 PM (CDT)
Even though the places to access music and controls are different ios 7 still will NOT play to Bluetooth as it did in previous ios versions.

Students create memorable eveningUVM Horse Barn Coop students and their horses, along with Dressage Team members and students from the Equus class, created memories for community members at their annual Halloween Barn event. Children of all ages were mesmerized by the costume-clad horses and their handlers. This well-planned event drew large crowds of excited children who had the opportunity to create their own goody bags, run through an obstacle course, and gather treats from each horse stall. A big thank you to all the students, teachers and advisors who made this a memorable event.

Meet RJ
RJ flights diverted to Amman Civil Airport due to dust
Amman, Oct. 2, 2012: Royal Jordanian was forced to divert some of its flights coming to Amman, starting with October 1, 2012. Two of its flights landed at Amman Civil Airport-Marka, instead of Queen Alia International Airport, due to the weather instability and wind shear, in addition to the cover of dust around the airport area, which resulted in poor visibility for landing.
On Oct. 1, an aircraft coming from Berlin was diverted to Amman Civil Airport-Marka and on Oct. 2, another aircraft coming from Abu Dhabi was diverted to the same airport. Some of the passengers who were onboard left Amman Civil Airport to their homes, whereas transit passengers were flown onboard the two aircraft to Queen Alia International Airport to continue their travel after the weather conditions improved.

DEWALT DC330K Jig Saw Kit: Switches Blades Like No Other
The major selling point for me about the DEWALT Jig Saw Kit is its easy blade change system. This jig saw system utilizes a blade clamp with a one of a kind lever action system. I can switch from one blade to the next without any major hassles. This DEWALT jig saw just makes my work a lot easier.
Of course, this is not the only benefit that I am able to garner out of this handy table saw jig. I have used it quite extensively so I am aware of its capabilities and its limits. The manufacturers will send you a complete system but it may not exactly have all the blades you prefer to use so there might come a time when you will need to buy the extra jig saw blades in case it is not included in your standard blade set.
What I Loved About this Jig Saw
- CUTS CORNERS AND CURVES LIKE NO OTHER: The cutting work I make using the DEWALT DC330K is slick and smooth. I can make really tight curves without any issues. I guess it's due to the unit's blade guidance system – kudos to the guys who designed this thing.
- PACKS A LOT OF POWER: The usual problem I have with a cordless jigsaw is the fact that it runs out of juice too soon. I'm not even quite done yet with my cutting then the cordless just runs out of power on me. But not this one; I think this new kind of battery on this DEWALT will set some future trends.
- COMPACT DESIGN: The big advantage of cordless jig saws is that you don't have the cord getting in the way of your work. Nevertheless, this DEWALT unit is more compact and easier to use compared to other competing brands.
Click here for the DEWALT DC330K product specifications
Core Features
- The DEWALT DC330K features the convenience of a cordless jig saw but it packs just about the same power of regular wired jig saws
- This DEWALT jig saw is battery powered and requires NICAD batteries; note that the package includes batteries when delivered
- This unit also features the patented XRP Extended-Life Battery System
- Other than its set of jig saw blades the package will also include the unit's charger
- Click here for more product features
This jig saw from DEWALT is several notches above the competition. Nevertheless, I can mention a couple of downsides that other customers have noticed. First off, the batteries are not cheap. If you want to get a second back up battery, prepare to spend for it. The other downside that I have found is the fact that the blade on this saw kit does not release completely even after you pull the release lever. You still have to pull the thing to get it loose. In spite of these minor flaws, I still think that the DEWALT DC330K Heavy-Duty 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Top Handle Jig Saw Kit is a great tool for its price.

reframing my thoughts.
It's not always sunshine and whimsy over here. I can be grouchy, grumpy, complain-y, etc. In fact, I'm those things way more often than I'd like to admit.
I've been trying to catch myself though. Catch the nasty, negative, complain-y thought, and turn it into a positive, thankful thought.
Examples from the past few days:
1. "I spent 7 hours on Sunday finding and booking hotels for our trip to Cambodia. My whole day was wasted!"
"I'm very fortunate to be able to travel to other countries, and to be choosy about where I stay."
2. "Ugh. I have to make hummus tonight, or the vegetables are going to go bad."
"How lucky am I to be able to afford fresh vegetables and choose to eat healthy snacks?"
3. "I wish he'd get up a few minutes earlier instead of sleeping 'til the last possible minute! Then he could be the one doing this!" - As I'm making the bed in the morning, worried about being late for work.
"Woah. I could have got out of bed a few minutes earlier and then I wouldn't be stressed about being late. Plus, he always makes my second coffee for me."
I really hope this doesn't sound "preachy." I just wanted to share something I've been thinking about lately. I'm in the midst of my usual seasonal blahs and it can be difficult to feel happy. Trying (struggling, sometimes) to reframe my thoughts has been helping.

central park in fall.
Central Park in Fall. Sounds romantic, doesn't it? Or perhaps I just have a romanticized idea of it.
But still.
When I saw Erin's photos, I couldn't help but imagine walking down one of those colourful paths, arms linked with Tony, coffee in hand. Laughing and kicking at the fallen leaves. Yup, romanticized idea for sure. (If I'm being honest, I also imagined how scared I'd be there after dark. Home Alone, anyone?)
But still. That skyline. Those leaves. The colours. Central Park in Fall. New York.

craziness is a virtue.
He thought for a few seconds, looked at me, and said in all seriousness, "Your craziness."
I laughed, probably glowed happiness, and asked for an example of said "craziness."
He thought again, a shorter time, and replied, "Singing loudly on the escalator."
Yah, I've done that. More than once.
And I love that he loves that about me, my craziness.

3 songs I've downloaded recently.
I discovered most of my favourite music artists through my favourite TV shows. Joshua Radin? Grey's Anatomy. Tegan & Sara? Grey's Anatomy. Ingrid Michaelson? Grey's Anatomy.
Okay. Those are the only examples I can come up with, and they are all from Grey's.
But the point is, I am not what one might consider "cool." And I discover a lot of new (to me) music through TV shows.
Here are 3 songs I've downloaded recently-ish:
"I Will Be There" - Odessa // via, you guessed it, Grey's Anatomy
If you ever need someone to cry to
If you ever need someone to hold you
I will be there
Standing by your side
I will be there
Standing by your side
"Dark and Stormy" - Hot Chip // via How To Get Away With Murder
We made our own love
Nobody helps us
We'll make our own luck
Outrun the sadness
We made our own love
Nobody helped us
We'll make our own luck
Outrun the sadness
"Don't Let Us Get Sick" - Jill Sobule // via Girls
Don't let us get sick
Don't let us get old
Don't let us get stupid, all right?
Just make us be brave
And make us play nice
And let us be together tonight
What are you listening to lately?
P.S. A song for growing up and my favourite Songza station.

we would never get anywhere.
I'm sorry that I live in China, where it's so easy to be taken advantage of.
I'm sorry I live in a world where men are more powerful than women.
I'm sorry I have a fiancé who, when I tell him I was scared and was chased and called for help, asks me, "Did you do something?"
They fucking told me I should be polite.
Those words are what I wrote in my "Notes" application, at 11:44PM Friday night.
I'm worried I don't have the words to adequately describe what happened or express my feelings and opinions, but I've decided that something is better than nothing.
Long story short, I and two friends were trying to get a cab home after a regular night out—getting nails done, dinner, and drinks. I had already been yelled at by one cab driver, seemingly because he didn't want to take foreign passengers, wanting instead the Chinese woman and her friend, who got to the cab after me.
Another cab driver. He has his doors locked, says he won't take us, but we know the rules; they can't refuse us. The passenger window is down, so I lean in, take a photo of his ID, wanting him to know that we know the rules, that he can't—shouldn't—take advantage of us. He unlocks the doors, lets us in, and I think it's worked. He has realized that we're not just naive tourists.
He starts to drive but refuses to turn the meter on. Tells us we must pay him 50RMB. We argue, try to turn the meter on ourselves, unwilling to be taken advantage of. We just want to go home.
He gets angry. Pulls over. Pushes my friend, who is sitting in the passenger seat. We're still arguing with him. Try to tell him we will give him extra money, just not the 50 he wants, if he will only turn the meter on. Then he punches my friend. That's when I say a phrase I just learned, a phrase Tony has told me I shouldn't say, but he taught me. I've heard people use it. The driver doesn't seem to care. He punches my friend again. My other friend says we should just get out, but we're angry. We keep arguing. The friend sitting beside me mentions that cab drivers sometimes carry knives. That makes me angry, and scared, but I'm not ready to give in yet. Neither is my friend in the passenger seat. She argues, he punches, I use another "bad word." This time, he looks at me. He's really angry. And he reaches for his door handle, is getting out of the car. That's when I run. I'm scared, so I run. Trip, lose a shoe, think, "I'm in China and people don't help people here! They keep to themselves. Oh God!"
There's a man and a woman walking by. I run to them, grab the man, yelling "Help!" the whole time. They are the only ones who stop at first. The cab driver stops chasing me, but keeps yelling at us. Luckily the man I stopped speaks English, tells me the number to dial for the police. I'm hesitant, don't want to get in trouble.
Passerby stop, a group of Chinese men. They seem to take the cab driver's side, listening to what he is yelling. They, too, yell at me in Chinese, and the man helping me translates: "They say you should be polite."
My friend calls the police. The cab driver drives away. But I am still scared. We take a tuk tuk home.
I want to clarify: Tony was asleep when I got home, so he wasn't fully aware of what was going on when I started telling him my story. But as soon as I told him I was chased, he did ask, "Did you do something?" That made me angry, sad. Hence the note I wrote.
Later Tony tells me, "Well, I thought you might have said some bad words to that driver. To make him chase you."
I get angry again. Because yah, I said "bad words" but how does that give the driver the right to chase me? People say bad words all the time. He was taking advantage of us first! I didn't say a "bad word" until he pushed and hit my friend. What would you do?
In a way, I'm happy, comforted that Tony knows I probably "said bad words." I'm happy to know that he knows I'm not willing to just do nothing. I will stand up for myself.
The next day, Tony and I had a long talk, about what happened, about how what he said is not okay, about how what the cab driver did is not okay.
We also talked about what I should have done. What we should have done. We should have just got out of the cab, no arguing. We're foreigners in this city, still, after 2 years.
Other people expressed those sentiments to us, not just Tony. And I know they are right. We should be safe, walk away from conflict. We're not in
Kansas Canada any more.
But the thing is, what I tried to explain to Tony, we are targeted here, taken advantage of. People try, at least. And I can't just let it happen every time.
I've heard people, other foreigners, other women foreigners, tell these kinds of stories before. And I've always thought, Wow. Thank God that hasn't happened to me.
But after this, what happened Friday night, and while talking to Tony, I realized it has happened to me, just on a smaller scale.
About 2 weeks after I moved to Beijing, I got a taxi home after a night of drinking. The cab driver was nice, trying to talk to me the whole way. When I payed him, he gave me the wrong change, shorting me by more than 50RMB. I think he thought because I had been drinking, because I was foreign, obviously new here, I wouldn't notice. I did notice though, and although I knew no Mandarin then, I let him know. I yelled and refused to get out of the cab until he gave me my money. Eventually he did. I've barely given it a thought since.
Last summer, I flew back to Beijing by myself; I had to take a taxi home, instead of the bus usually provided by my employer. I joined the taxi line outside the airport and the driver I was matched up with refused to take me, pretending he didn't understand where I wanted to go. Finally, an airport attendant stepped in, telling the driver he had to take me. They yelled at each other. The driver gave in. He opened the trunk and left me to lift my own suitcases in.
We started driving and he refused to turn on the meter. We were already on the highway, what were my options? I yelled. In my limited Mandarin told him I wasn't a tourist, I was a teacher, lived here for more than a year. Eventually he laughed and turned on the meter.
There have been countless other times, too, that I have been taken advantage of. What am I supposed to do? I asked Tony. Ask all of you. I can't give in every time. We can't give in every time. I would never get anywhere. Literally and figuratively. We would never get anywhere.
Both of the situations described above aren't very different from what happened Friday night. Only the ending is different really.
I know I'm a foreigner. I know I'm a woman. I know I'm in the weaker position, on both counts. But I won't, can't, give in every time.
I told Tony, now the problem is, I have to figure out when I should walk away, and when I should "fight."
There's so much more I want to say about this. So many more feelings. Every taxi I've gotten into since Friday, I've looked at the ID before getting in.
The #yesallwomen hashtag already resonated with me, but I thought about it more Friday night.
Everything going on in the news lately.
Why are women victimized? Why are we taken advantage of? Why do people think it's okay? Why do we have to walk away? Why do I have to walk away?
Why am I told to be polite?
Why do I have to decide when I should stick up for myself and when to walk away? How will I know the difference?
It is not automatically the woman's fault. Ever. Don't think that. If you do, you need to not only look at the actions of the other person, but at your own.

APEC blue.
I won't even try and pretend like I know exactly what APEC is or what it means for the world. Should I be embarrassed about that? Maybe.
What I do know, is that a bunch of important people came to Beijing and a lot of government offices and operations were closed and there were fewer cars on the road and much less pollution.
And for the last week, the sky has been a beautiful blue colour, almost what you'd see back home, and I've heard many people call it "APEC Blue." I think, maybe at least for the rest of my time here in Beijing, when someone asks me what my favourite colour is, instead of saying yellow or turquoise, I will say, "APEC blue." It's beautiful.
And funny enough, for a woman with a blog and an Instagram account, I don't have a single photo of the APEC blue sky.
APEC blue. A respiratory infection that won't go away. Brunch at Moka Bros in the warm sunshine. Window shopping. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 3D, with a big bucket of caramel popcorn. Me singing, "Knock, knock, you're about to get shell shocked!" Tony asking, what's it again? And my answer: "Cowabunga!" Wearing my new favourite shirt. A waxing appointment, followed by hot pot. Cows ice cream, all the way from PEI to Beijing! Birthday Cake for him; Gooey Mooey for me. More window shopping. A one-hour full-body massage, followed by a one-hour foot massage (hooray for teacher discounts!). A one-hour foot massage for Tony at the same time, and he and the masseurs (is that what you call them?) talk the whole time. We find out one of them is also from Henan, and the other once had a foreign girlfriend, too. Surprisingly, I don't get annoyed when they talk for the whole two hours. Indian food and Italian food. Walking and breathing the fresh air. Laughing. Watching How To Get Away With Murder (HTGAWM) and The West Wing. A bath with a LUSH bath bomb. Reading Not That Kind of Girl. Putting our phones on airplane mode for almost two entire days. Staying off the internet for most of that time, with the exception of watching Netflix and calling my Nan. Drinking so much Cold 911 tea from David's Tea to try to help with this darn respiratory infection. Staying on the couch for the last two days of our "APEC vacation" because of this darn respiratory infection. Playing Mario Kart on the Wii and unlocking new cups and characters and vehicles. Celebrating Birthday 3.0. Toffee Nut lattes from Starbucks. Hooray! Holiday cups are here!
That is a quick summary of the last 4 days, in the style I used to use in my journal. I miss journaling sometimes. Been thinking about that a lot lately.

For Fellow Students, A Time Of Anger
April 23, 1988
By Mike Franolich and Dwight Ott, Special to The Inquirer
Amid feelings of grief and despair, students in the Deptford school system expressed their anger yesterday over the killing of 12-year-old Kim Marie Anderson, who police say was stabbed to death this week by one of their classmates. Counselors at the Monongahela Junior High School - where the youth accused of the slaying, Kenneth Houseknecht, is a student - told students to purse their lips and not talk with reporters during a day marked by tension, anger and disturbing quiet. Since Tuesday, the brutal killing was the dominant subject in the buzzing hallways of three local schools - Monongahela, Deptford Township High School and the Lake Tract School, where Anderson, known to her friends as Kimberly, was a student.
Sheen fights rage in "Anger Management"
June 29, 2012
By David Hiltbrand and INQUIRER TV WRITER
These are strange times indeed, folks, in the celebrity game. The worst publicity has now become the best kind of publicity you can get. Every time this month, for instance, that TMZ sent out a new gossip bulletin on Lindsay Lohan was a red-letter day for Lifetime. It represented another quarter-million viewers for the Liz Taylor biopic Lohan is currently shooting for the channel. Or take Charlie Sheen. After one of the most depraved runs of misbehavior by a major performer ever, he returns in a new sitcom to rapt curiosity and surprising good will.
He's Ready Toney's Anger Boiling Over For Williams
July 29, 1994
by Bernard Fernandez, Daily News Sports Writer
His short fuse always seems to be lit anyway, so it came as no surprise when James Toney, walking time bomb, exploded two days before his title defense tonight against "Prince" Charles Williams (HBO, 10 o'clock) at the MGM Grand. As is his custom, Toney, the International Boxing Federation's super- middleweight champion, arrived for Wednesday's final prefight press conference seething with anger over some real or imagined slight. An hour or so later, when he was asked to pose for publicity photos with Williams, Toney began screaming profanities and lunging at Williams.
Anger, and acceptance, by Penn State players
July 25, 2012
By Joe Juliano, Inquirer Staff Writer
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Monday's announcement of NCAA sanctions against the Penn State football program was met with bewilderment and anger by a large cross-section of current and former players. But nothing seemed to bewilder and anger former Nittany Lions more than the disclosure that all of Joe Paterno's 111 wins over a 14-year period from 1998 through 2011 were vacated, meaning they won't count in the NCAA record book. Adam Taliaferro, the South Jersey native who was almost paralyzed after being involved in a devastating hit in a 2000 game at Ohio State but made an inspiring recovery, couldn't control his disbelief on Twitter only a few hours after the NCAA delivered its penalties for the actions of university officials in the Jerry Sandusky scandal.
Worldview: Europe's anger-filled elections are clues for U.S.
May 11, 2012
By Trudy Rubin, Inquirer Columnist
In this week's Greek elections, the far-right, ultranationalist Golden Dawn party, whose members perform Nazi salutes at rallies, got 7 percent of the vote and entered Parliament for the first time. Its leader told journalists to stand upon his arrival at a news conference and ejected those who did not. A sick joke, you say. What's 7 percent? But Golden Dawn's gains are a symbol of a protest vote that fed extremes in Greece and decimated centrist parties, making it impossible to form a government in a country on the edge of economic collapse.
Victim advocates take anger over Lynn decision to church
December 31, 2013
By Sulaiman Abdur-Rahman, Inquirer Staff Writer
Under a steady rain Sunday, Judy and Chuck Miller took up spots that have often been occupied by child-abuse victim advocates: the steps of the Cathedral Basilica of SS. Peter and Paul. Judy Miller leads the Delaware branch of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (SNAP), a group that hosted regular protests after the 2011 grand jury report about clergy sex-abuse in Philadelphia. Her return Sunday was prompted by last week's Superior Court ruling that overturned the conviction of Msgr.
Movie induces anger, which isn't bad
July 5, 2004
By Leonard Pitts Jr
Fahrenheit 9/11 made me angrier than any movie I've ever seen. It was a good anger, hard, clean and righteous, and I enjoyed it so much that I went back three days later to experience it again. Took two of my sons and two of their friends so they could become angry, too. It's not that I was unaware the movie is less documentary than propaganda. It's not that I buy its conspiracy theories tying the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to Bush cronies' thirst for oil. It is, rather, that the movie brings us face to face with things essential and disturbing about the President, his people and his war. Things like human cost, as in Lila Lipscomb, an erstwhile proud military mother who is literally bent double by grief after losing her son to a war whose righteousness she had not thought to question.
How To Cope With Anger - Butt Out, You Jerk! Traffic Main Cause, Marriage 2d
September 19, 1989
TODAY'S SELF-HELP TOPIC IS: Coping With Anger. There is definitely too much anger in the world today. Pick up almost any newspaper, and the odds are you'll get ink smeared all over your hands. We use a special kind of easy-smear ink, because we know how much it irritates you. But that's not my point. My point is that if you pick up almost any newspaper, you'll see stories of anger raging out of control, of people actually shooting each other over minor traffic disputes.
Dear Abby: Husband's letters to old flame continue to fuel widow's anger
August 3, 2012
Dear Abby
DEAR ABBY: My husband died recently in a fire he started in a drunken rampage. In the aftermath I am left with feelings of extreme sadness and rage. Last night I found some old letters he had written to a woman he'd left me for 20 years ago. (We patched things up and then were married later.) I didn't want to read them, but in the first letter I caught the sentence, "You are the only woman I've ever met who truly changed me. " I immediately tore it to shreds. There were others, but I tossed everything in the box into the trash.
Sadness, Not Anger At Leps Funeral Nicole Leps Was Remembered As A Cheerful Person. Mourners Were Asked To Copy That.
June 17, 1994
By Edward Engel, INQUIRER CORRESPONDENT
There were prayers and hymns. Hands clutching tissues and damp eyes. But there was little anger evident yesterday morning as about 200 friends and relatives gathered to say goodbye to Nicole M. Leps, a young woman who had appeared to be on the verge of beginning a new career. The absence of anger seemed to please the Rev. John Taxter, who asked the mourners at the 10 a.m. Mass at St. Anthony's Roman Catholic Church to keep their spirits aloft and not hold bitterness toward the man who killed Leps.

Anger, anguish for Palmer Charter students after sudden closing
October 31, 2014
By Martha Woodall, Inquirer Staff Writer
X'Aria Elliott had been hearing rumors for days that the Walter D. Palmer charter might close its high school program. But the senior was stunned nevertheless when she got a call from a friend Sunday night saying her school was shutting down immediately. "I didn't get a reality check until the next morning," said Elliott, 17. "I just wanted to cry. " Elliott, who enrolled at Palmer after being home-schooled in seventh and eighth grades, said her senior year had been ruined.

Teachers express anger at SRC decision to impose contract terms
October 8, 2014
By Joe Dolinsky, Inquirer Staff Writer
Instead of focusing on her students Monday morning, Anissa Weinraub, an English teacher at Academy at Palumbo in South Philadelphia, said she was stunned by the School Reform Commission's sudden decision to cancel its teacher contract. "When the SRC unilaterally imposes . . . what else are they going to try to impose on?" Weinraub asked at a rally outside Gov. Corbett's Philadelphia office Monday afternoon. Weinraub said she believed the teachers' union was negotiating in good faith and was shocked by Monday's news.
Snag at PHL's Customs kiosks angers travelers
October 3, 2014
By Linda Loyd, Inquirer Staff Writer
Getting through U.S. Customs checkpoints can be irritating at peak travel times, but some passengers arriving at Philadelphia International Airport got an extra dose of angst this week. New automated passport kiosks, designed to expedite the entry process, had a technology glitch. They didn't work for a while Tuesday afternoon and had to be rebooted at a busy time, when many US Airways and American Airlines flights were arriving from Europe. Travelers who had just spent from seven to nine hours in the air became frustrated, and anger boiled up because many had connecting flights.
Trade rumors anger Hextall
October 3, 2014
BY FRANK SERAVALLI, Daily News Staff Writer email@example.com
WASHINGTON - The latest rumor barely rolled off a reporter's tongue and Ron Hextall grinned, albeit only for a second. "I'm not going to talk about trades," Hextall said. "But I will give you one other piece of advice: Don't believe everything you read. " The rumor, from TSN's Bob McKenzie, said Hextall is actively shopping a defenseman - particularly Luke Schenn or Nick Grossmann - in order to open up a space in the lineup for 2013 first-round pick Samuel Morin. Hextall wasn't happy.
VA 'Oscar the Grouch' training angers vets
August 28, 2014
By Tricia L. Nadolny, Inquirer Staff Writer
The beleaguered Department of Veterans Affairs depicted dissatisfied veterans as Oscar the Grouch in a recent internal training guide, and some vets and VA staffers said Tuesday that they feel trashed. The cranky Sesame Street character who lives in a garbage can was used in reference to veterans who will attend town-hall events Wednesday in Philadelphia. "There is no time or place to make light of the current crisis that the VA is in," said Joe Davis, a national spokesman for the VFW. "And especially to insult the VA's primary customer.
Robin Williams, my brother and the 'assault' of suicide
August 15, 2014
I FIRST HEARD about Robin Williams' death when I was standing in line at my mother's viewing and a friend's BlackBerry dinged with the news alert from CNN. It was a surreal, if brief, moment. Not to be insensitive, but while I always liked Mindy's Mork and all the other incarnations of this gifted actor, the death of a stranger was exponentially less important than my personal grief. Still, when I heard it was a suicide, my fleeting first thought was that my mother had fought so valiantly to cling to something Williams had just thrown away.
Corbett's hard stand on Pa. budget stirs anger
July 14, 2014
By Amy Worden and Thomas Fitzgerald, Inquirer Staff Writers
HARRISBURG - In his first post-primary television ad, a stern Gov. Corbett tells would-be supporters that he "did not come to Harrisburg to make friends. " On Thursday, he boldfaced that point. After pushing the 10-day deadline to take action on the legislature-approved state budget to the bitter end, Corbett came out swinging, accusing legislators of failing to act on the pension crisis and instead filling their own coffers with money for pet projects. Behind closed doors he signed the $29 billion spending plan, but not before wielding his blue pen to do something no governor in at least the last 20 years dared to do - by line-item veto slashing $65 million in funding to run Senate and House operations.
Nearly 2 hours of anger aimed at Phila. police
July 12, 2014
By Jason Grant, Inquirer Staff Writer
A U.S. Justice Department team listened for nearly two hours Thursday evening as angry Philadelphians lashed out at the Police Department for what they called a long history of unjustified shootings of young black males by white officers. At turns screaming, crying, or simply glaring straight ahead, a series of residents, most of them African American, including several mothers who said their sons had been unjustly shot by police, approached a microphone in City Council chambers and spoke of their pain.
Protest shows anger, frustration after fatal SW Phila. fire
July 9, 2014
BY WILL BUNCH, MORGAN ZALOT, VINNY VELLA & DYLAN SEGELBAUM, Daily News Staff Writers firstname.lastname@example.com, 215-854-2957
A COMBUSTIBLE mixture of anger and grief nearly boiled over on a Southwest Philadelphia street corner in the summer heat last night in a tense standoff between a long, blue line of cops and roughly 200 residents protesting what they claimed was a slow response to Saturday's fire that killed four children on Gesner Street. The confrontation - first outside a fire station on 65th Street near Woodland Avenue and later on the narrow rowhouse street where eight homes were destroyed, and where the acrid stench of smoke still hung heavy - led to at least two arrests, as witnesses said some protesters tossed water bottles while the crowd chanted, "We want answers!"

The ASUS "Bay Trail" T100 Is Not Linux Friendly
Published on 27 October 2013 04:25 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
51 Comments
Last week I bought the ASUS Transformer Book T100TA, which is one of the first Intel "Bay Trail" devices in the United States. At a cost of $399 USD, it isn't as cheap as some Bay Trail devices talked up by Intel, but I was eager to see how the "Valley View" graphics would perform and all-around how this Atom SoC would run under Linux. Sadly, the ASUS T100TA appears to be a crap wreck at this point for running Linux.
While waiting for the Transform Book T100 to arrive, I learned of the folks over at
having tested out the T100 and tried booting Linux off a USB stick to no avail on this tablet/netbook hybrid. Several days after my Transformer Book T100 arrived and spending much of the weekend trying to get a Linux distribution working, nothing has panned out so far.
Regardless of the state of SecureBoot, trying the "boot override" or adjusting the boot priority order from the UEFI setup menu on this ASUS Bay Trail device hadn't worked to boot Fedora 19, Ubuntu 13.10, or openSUSE 13.1 RC1; Windows 8 ultimately kept on booting. I've played around with all of the other EFI tunables to no success in getting a Linux USB drive booted. I also tried using a USB DVD drive, attempting to launch a UEFI shell from the file-system, re-flashing the UEFI, using a micro-USB adapter to USB drive, disabling USB 3.0 support, connecting multiple USB flash drives, and taken the other usual steps. Even when the Windows Boot Manager isn't part of the UEFI boot priority queue, Windows 8 still ends up being loaded immediately. Dealing with the ASUS Transformer Book T100 to boot a Linux distribution has been hell and a waste of a weekend.
I'm still playing around with a few other options, but for those hoping this BayTrail-based Transformer Book from ASUS would be a nice little Linux laptop, it doesn't look that way at this point as it doesn't want to part ways with Microsoft Windows 8.1. This has been one of the hardest Windows 8 systems I've encountered to date for getting a Linux distribution to boot even after disabling Secure Boot and taking various other measures.
Hopefully some progress will be made in the coming days. Arjan van de Ven of Intel's Open-Source Technology Center also will be playing around with a T100TA
in the coming days
