If I wanted to get into this game starting with Wings of War in WW1which booster packs go along with the box sets for WW1?
where do you start

never mind I just read the description of the booster packs and I figured it out. It was easier then I thought. All the products seem pretty intimidating at first to figure out what you need and what not.

If you are thinking about getting the minis per your other post, start with the new Deluxe Set. It will save you quite a bit of money!
Posted 22 April 2011 - 09:45 AM
Thanks for all the replies HMS Hajj.
I would have gotten the deluxe set but I couldn't find it any where. So I just ordered the famous aces box set and It will be here next week. I'm a little over whelmed by the miniatures. There's 48 or so different ones. That adds up to a lot of money. But I'll probably get some if I like the game enough.
I was wondering do each of the same model planes work exactly the same way? Because there are 3 different paint schemes for every plane but do they play the same way? Do I only need to buy 1 Fokker dr1 and I'm good or do the different pilots work slightly differently? I'm guessing they work the same but they just have different paint schemes so if you wanted to play with 2 or 3 Fokker dr1s you would be able to tell them apart.
Posted 22 April 2011 - 08:35 PM
Yes, basically all of the same types of planes fly the same. All the DR.Is use maneuver deck D and have 13 hit points and use the A damage deck. In some cases, one or two of the same plane types will use different damage decks. (A or B). This is due to that specific plane historically having a different gun configuration. This is most often the case where a plane was not given the top wing mounted Lewis machinegun.
The way the game is setup is that a plane with twin machineguns (either both mounted on the engine deck or one there and the other on the top wing) uses the A damage deck while a single gun plane would use the B damage deck. Most players will use the A damage deck with a B deck paint scheme unless they are playing a historic mission (so long as that plane type did in fact carry twin guns, most likely determined by another one of the minis being an A damage deck version).
So, you really only need one of each type unless you plan on having friends use your minis as well (which is almost always the case when first starting out). Most of us end up collecting the different minis, so we end up with all of them anyways! In fact, I looked at this wonderful game for probably two years at my local game store before the minis came out. That's when I decided it was time to pick it up.
If you do decide to start getting the minis, try to pick up the scout (single seat fighter) planes you might want as soon as they come out. There are supply issues when it comes to the minis and certain types can "dry up" for extended periods of time. Most non-collectors buy one of each paint job for the scouts and a single copy of each type of two-seater. You have actually come in to the game at a pretty good time miniature wise. Series IV was just recently released, so most of the planes can still be found pretty easily (Bishop's SE5 is pretty much gone already though) and the first 3 series are supposed to be re-released this year.

Hey all,
I'm picking up an Ibis Tranny frame so this bad Larry is up for grabs. I've had it all season, ridden it a lot and raced it twice. It's an awesome XC bike/racer and I thoroughly enjoyed my time on it this past year. It weighed a little over 25 pounds built, with an XT kit, Stan's Arches and a Fox dropper post. Not to shabby for a 120mm bike!
Geometry and other info can be found here:http://www.bikes.com/main+en+01_102+...CATID=1&Y=2012
This is a pretty damn good deal, and as such I'm firm on the price. Any questions feel free to PM here or shoot me an email.

NuGo Free Bars are gluten free, soy free and dairy free. I have already reviewed the Dark Chocolate Crunch Bar and Dark Chocolate Trail Mix - both of which I liked. There is also a NuGo Free Gluten Free Carrot Cake Bar, which was begging to be reviewed.
My first thought about this bar was that it didn't taste much like carrot cake. It did taste sort of pumpkin-y, which is not a bad thing. The icing was a nice touch, and it wasn't too sweet. I liked the cinnamon and nut flavors, and it actually contains carrots and raisins. This bar, like the others varieties, was quite chewy, but not unpleasantly so.
Each delicious NuGo Free Gluten Free Carrot Cake Bar provides 160 calories, 3 grams of total fat, no saturated, no trans, 12% of the daily value for fiber, 13 grams of sugar, and 9 grams of protein.
The ingredients include, "rice protein crisp (rice protein concentrate and rice flour), crisp rice (rice flour), crystalline fructose, tapioca syrup, walnuts, brown rice syrup, organic agave syrup, chicory root fiber, icing (sugar, invert sugar, tapioca syrup, water, flaxseed oil, salt, microcrystalline cellulose), raisins, rice protein, water, dried carrots, organic acacia gum, cinnamon, natural flavors, baking soda, salt, and almonds."
Like the other bars, a NuGo Free Gluten Free Carrot Cake Bar cost cost just $1.29 and can be purchased at NuGo online. Bottom line: good for pumpkin, not so much for carrot. I may buy this again, but I'll probably go for the Dark Chocolate Trail Mix first.

Excavating American soccer fields, uncovering buried layers of sport
Editor's note
This essay by Martha Saavedra (see 20 Sept 07) affirms that all sporting terrain has a history, both personal and corporate. Organizers of the 2010 World Cup discovered this when developing the site of Green Point Stadium in Cape Town. Football grounds offer testimonies buried in sediment and memory. "The flight of the players / counter-weighted / shifting through a century" is how Bridget Carson, in "Soccer Fields, Fort Missoula," starts poetic meditation on open recreation space—once a World War II internment camp—in Montana (in The Global Game: Writers on Soccer, 56–57).
Archaeology played a key role in the controversy surrounding Green Point, which hosts a semifinal on Jul 6. The area is known to have been a burial ground for slaves and the poor during Dutch occupation. Of the layers of Cape Town's past, South African archaeologist Nick Shepherd writes, "To dig down from the surface is to encounter wall footings, occupation floors, the debris of past societies, the remains of the dead themselves." This scenario unfolded in 2003 when developers of luxury condominiums on Prestwich Street in Green Point unearthed human remains. Up to 2,000 bodies, identified as former slaves, were exhumed amid intense community debate that resulted in establishment of Prestwich Memorial, where the remains are stored. Many believe that gentrification and development, including the new stadium, are erasing the history of mixed-race slave descendants known as "Cape Coloured."
The Green Point Stadium Visitor Centre offers a one-man multimedia presentation, Greensman, that positions the new stadium as reconciliation—a combination of historical strands to make a gathering place for all people. The visitor center director herself lived next to Green Point Common before her family was forcibly removed as part of apartheid-era relocations.
Football has a history at Green Point dating to the 19th century, chronicled in the 2008 District Six Museum exhibit "Fields of Play" and short film. Dozens of amateur football matches in leagues organized, even before apartheid, along racial lines could occur simultaneously on the 200-acre common. The area became whites-only under apartheid. Football was exported to Cape Flats, well beyond the center city. The original 18,000-capacity Green Point Stadium, developed during the second Anglo-Boer War, was demolished in 2007 to make way for the new.
by Martha Saavedra
At least once a year I visit my parents' home in Maryland, in Prince George's County, where I lived in the 1970s. I visit to visit, but also because Prince George's County is adjacent to Washington, D.C., and I regularly have business there. When "home," I take advantage of new bike paths and go for runs through what used to be forests, farms and the soccer fields my team practiced and played on. In this area, each year, more homes are built, new shopping centers go up and roads are widened or appear where there had never been any before.
On my favorite route, I pass several new soccer fields, even whole soccer complexes that have sprouted near Allen Pond, a longtime recreation area with an artificial pond as its centerpiece. My former team's home field, Blacksox, closer to my parent's home, however, has returned to its former use—baseball—with five groomed ball fields, a small central kiosk/restroom, a big parking lot and a tree-covered running path leading out the back of it and looping through new neighborhoods. I remember it being surrounded by what seemed an impenetrable scrub forest that always threatened to reclaim the open, flat space of dust and grass.
Unbeknownst to my teenage self, Blacksox Field had been the home of two Black sandlot teams, the Mitchellville Tigers and, later, the Washington Blacksox.[1] A vital part of the local African American community, these sandlot teams also sent players to the Negro baseball leagues.[2] When I read the newly posted historical sign on a run a few years ago, a lot of things clicked. Nearby on Route 301, I had noticed that Mills, a roadside bar, frequented mainly by African Americans and gutted several times by flames, had this time been resuscitated with a Negro League memorabilia shop. That is now gone and the building is a church, but the sediments of the past open up on each visit home even as its remnants continue to be consumed by frantic urban/suburban development and my own hazy forgetfulness.
I began to play soccer because my father was one of the founders of the local Boys and Girls Club. It was not a sport that my family or I otherwise knew, although one of our German cousins apparently had played on the national team before he emigrated to the United States. Our neighborhood was new, a Levitt-constructed "community" in the middle of a largely Black farming community that was rapidly disappearing. The older Levitt development to the north, built on a former plantation, already had a Boys Club, but the distance was far enough that parents like mine felt another should be established to the south.
Having six daughters and one son, my father also insisted it should be a "Boys and Girls Club," now the standard moniker, but not so at the time. The first sport we played was softball. I remember losing 18–0 in one game, and I don't remember wondering why I didn't play another season. Then fall came. Our club, our parents, eschewed American football, the staple fall sport of many Boys Clubs at the time. Too expensive, too dangerous and not friendly to girls. Instead, they embraced the "new" sport of soccer, and for the next five years I played on the South Bowie Boys and Girls Club team. My younger siblings followed suit as my father worked with the SBBGC for seven years.
We were too new to be very good. The club was just beginning, searching for fields, for coaches, trying to find its place. Youth soccer in the early 1970s was also just beginning, and the now stereotypical American suburban soccer scene had not yet reached into our neighborhood. And our neighborhood was a bit different. When our family moved to Maryland in 1969 from New Jersey, we were typical New Yorkers who lived in Jersey and were hyper-aware that we had gone below the Mason-Dixon Line. People said "y'all" and we heard "pin" instead of "pen." Blue laws still applied—no stores were open on Sundays. At eight, I learned what the word miscegenation meant and that some people were really opposed to it.
Prince George's County was still predominantly white at that time but had a significant African American population, especially closer to the D.C. line. And the scars of the riots in Washington in the aftermath of Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination were still fresh and very visible as we drove down East Capitol Street to the Mall for our regular Smithsonian visits.
Race and racism were palpable, but puzzling, with my family's own mixture (Peruvian, German, Canadian/Irish/English) not quite fitting anywhere—except in our enclave. The northern part of our town was reserved for whites. Segregation was officially over, but not that long gone. While our new development was predominantly white, if Blacks, Asians or Latinos (and my family was the only one vaguely Latino at the time) wanted to buy into this housing stock, the development real-estate agents ever so gently (or maybe not) directed them to this new development in what had been Mitchellville, the mostly Black farming community. Some of the adults came from farming backgrounds (my mother, my Girl Scout leader); some came from the cities (my dad, my soccer coach). But all the families were now solidly middle-class, mostly drawing paychecks from government jobs.
Unlike the northern part of town, though, we were Black, White, Latino and Asian. And the kids, White and Black (and some definitely mixed), from the local farming community also came to our school. In 1974, when there was court-ordered busing in Prince George's County, I remember hearing that the city chose our neighborhood as the one to be bused because we were already used to "integration." In elementary school, kids from near the D.C. line were bused to our school. In junior high and high school, we were bused to schools near the Beltway that were majority African American. Court-ordered busing ended in 2001.
The county is now predominantly African American and is now the wealthiest Black-majority county in the nation. The unofficial color line in our town has faded, although the line between Prince George's and Montgomery County, the other Maryland county bordering Washington, seems a little sharper.
In the 1970s soccer was just starting in the Washington area, although some communities, particularly in Virginia, were ahead in skills and organization. The largest all-girls soccer tournament, the annual Rael Vodicka Memorial, organized by the Washington Area Girls' Soccer League, was first held in about 1975 just when the SBBGC got going. These clubs assisted the SBBGC in associating with FIFA and establishing spring soccer, which the Prince George's County Boys Club at the time did not organize.
Perhaps unlike these clubs, the SBBGC articulated what could be called a "sport-for-all" philosophy. High-level competitive success was not the goal, although we traveled to and sponsored tournaments and played a lot of soccer. Two of my younger sisters experienced some dissenting coaches, who sought to win at almost all costs. Perhaps that is why they didn't continue to play in later years. My youngest sister and a friend, on a dare, used their soccer experience to join the high school team—which was a "boys" team with no female counterpart—in the mid-1980s. They were not the first. In 1978, a girl one year ahead of me in high school played defense on the boys' team.
For me, the club team was a good fit. I managed to combine this with being an athletic trainer for high school teams (volleyball and wrestling), something that would not have been possible had this been the equivalent of a Class I competitive youth team these days. We practiced once or twice during the week and on Saturdays, with games on Sundays. One summer, some of the players went to a soccer camp in North Carolina. The coach, Dr. B, also attended clinics there run by Anson Dorrance, the longtime coach of the powerhouse women's soccer team at the University of North Carolina. At the time I had no idea who that was, and, to be fair, he was still early in his career.
We did pick up the pace and occasionally contested for the championship in our league, although I don't think we ever actually won it. It was then that I learned the beauty and satisfaction, even if I didn't do it that well, of stringing together a series of passes, of faking out an opponent, of give-and-go's, of weaving down the field, and of a great header. I also learned the frustration of being on a team that at times could not finish, that knocked the ball back and forth in front of the goal endlessly, but could not put it in. And in the process I sustained a torn retina and lots of sprained ankles. My gymnastics coach lamented that he was losing all his athletes to soccer and sprained ankles.
I loved gymnastics and before soccer I thought I would follow in Olga Korbut's and Ludmilla Tourischeva's footsteps (despite not having access to the Soviet system of gymnastics production). Unable to really execute them, I would dream of intricate uneven-bar routines in my sleep. Although I continued to dabble in gymnastics until I was 26, I had much more opportunity and ability to link together a series of moves with my foot, the ball and my teammates.
The team is what made it for me. I have remained friends with many of my teammates and my coach over the years. Not all of my friends were on the team, but most of them had been at one point or the other. Given we were from the neighborhood, soccer was not the only point in common. There was Girl Scouts when we were younger and the teen club when we got older. Shared car rides to school (to avoid taking the bus), Advanced Placement English, dissecting cats in biology, trigonometry and pre-calculus. Driving around aimlessly at night on the back roads and waiting overnight in line at the gas pump. Going to the Catholic Youth Organization dances up Route 3. Skipping classes. Smoking cigarettes in between classes and before games (for some of us, not all). I think half of the team smoked. Some still do.
I quit soon after high school and never smoked that much. Of course, it slowed us down. The fastest runner on the team smoked. She was like a gazelle streaking down the wing. A few years ago she died of breast cancer. Her mother died of the disease as well at a young age. We didn't think about cancer then. It was not until several years later that the health fairs would haul out the blackened lungs for you to touch and ponder or that public campaigns would kick in to prevent kids from buying cigarettes. In high school, some parents even shared their cigarettes with their kids. On road trips, we knew which parents would let us smoke (really only one). But the cigarettes contributed to our "laid-back" approach.
On one road trip, our goalie, a serious smoker, sat in the far back of our Ford Econoline van. Seat-belt laws were unknown and many a team traveled packed sitting on the floor in the back of that van. Hot and bored, she took off her bra, hung it out the back window. She added to the effect by pressing her face decorated with cigarettes up to the window. My father had no idea why drivers in others cars were honking and waving at him.[3]
And then there was the underage drinking. It is old news perhaps, but playing sports does not keep teenagers from breaking rules. We didn't drink because of soccer. Most of my friends from school drank before we were 18, the legal drinking age then. On the state-championship wrestling team, there were several champions who were connoisseurs of "partying." There were alcohol-related traffic deaths among the teens in my school, including the boyfriend of our gazelle. Drugs, mostly pot, were also available, although they weren't particularly related to soccer. PCP became a scourge around that time, coke was coming onto the scene, and amphetamines circulated, but few of members of the team went much beyond basic pot, if that. But there were alcohol episodes related directly to the team. Early on, I remember a teammate stealing one beer from the adult bin at a soccer party and four of us running off to a field nearby to drink it. More of a thrill than a buzz.
The most memorable incident was the slumber party for one player's 16th birthday. We waited until her parents were in bed and then broke out the booze—from rum to Boone's Farm apple wine. Because time was short, we imbibed it rather quickly in large quantities. Soon girls were pontificating philosophically, vomiting and crying to God (a streak of evangelicalism ran through us as it did through the community at large.) We woke grandma and soon mom and dad up. Dad happened to be our assistant coach, and we had a game the next day. Not all the partiers were on the team, but the game, on a cloudy day, was low-key to say the least. He made it clear to all of us that by early that afternoon all of our parents had to call him after we had told them what we had done. Teammates who didn't drink were disgusted with us, and those who did, but were more discreet, laughed.[4] Later that year, the assistant coach died of a massive heart attack. The whole team turned out to support the family. He was even more like a father to us after that party.
Our coach, Dr. B., was a father and mentor to us all. Even after our team, including his daughter and my friend (a nondrinker and nonsmoker), moved on to college, he continued to coach teams, including those of my younger sisters. Dr. B. had a Ph.D. and was a scientist with a federal agency. He was smart, tough and had a good sense of humor. His wife, Mrs. B, was always rooting us on loudly from the side. So were other parents, but her cheers were memorable. We all had a home with them. Dr. B. once arrived at practice late and very shaken. He had been first on the scene on an accident on Route 214, then a notorious, windy two-lane road with a 50mph speed limit. The steering wheel had gone through the woman driver. That road was an indication of how far out in the boonies we were, but yet only 17 miles from the Washington border.
Dr. B learned soccer with us. I don't think he was very familiar with the sport when he took up coaching. But like the other parents involved in building the club, he dug in and worked hard at it. He took it as seriously as getting his Ph.D. I remember when we no longer could call him Mr. B, but now it was Dr. B. The "Doctor" rings so much more truly with him. Some of the players would make fun of how he would try to teach us to weave with three players or some other concept he brought back from the camp in North Carolina or another clinic. As a coach now, I really appreciate his efforts and just how much he did teach me.
Our education went beyond the pitch. He also took us to Walter Reed Army Hospital where we saw all sorts of odd pieces of humanity in formaldehyde. When we were younger, some of us would also go with him and his family to visit his parents in Washington. I remember making candy wreaths with his mother. Dr. B. was maybe the only African American coach in our league, both fall and spring. Our team, our club, our neighborhood were among the most integrated in the area. As in the rest of suburban America, as soccer became more elite it became more white in the Washington area. Yet in Prince George's County, in the area that the SBBGC serves, the community is increasingly African American and more diverse.
My family is not involved now in the local Boys and Girls Club, and my runs through the neighborhood have not taken me through too many soccer practices or games. From what I have seen, I would say soccer here, as in the East Bay in northern California, where I now live, is probably more diverse then the average nationally and in U.S. soccer, but I would have to explore more to find out whether the diversity of the community is reflected on the soccer pitch. I do know that there are women's teams in the Washington area made of immigrants from Latin America and Africa, reflecting an important demographic shift since I left for college in 1979.[5]
The South Bowie Boys and Girls Club was sanctioned by the Prince George's Boys Club around 1973, but the five men and two women who started the club as a recreation association still had to find facilities. The available soccer fields were near the race track several miles away in the northern part of town. Our first practices with Mr. R as coach took place at our elementary school, which had lots of land but nothing fully level and marked out. My father and Mr. R. had heard about Blacksox Field but didn't know where it was.
Around our bedroom community were many windy, country roads, cutting through forests and farms. On one, they noticed an unpaved road with dirt piled up to block the entrance. They walked back a few hundred yards and found Blacksox Park—a sandlot stadium still in decent playing condition, level with dugouts and stands. The Mitchellville Tigers played there from 1946 to 1961. Washington Blacksox played there from 1961 to 1971. The land had been bought by Levitt and Sons for further development, but some of it was wetland.
The club organizers convinced the city to designate it as a ballpark and to install lights. In the mid-1990s, the city returned the field to baseball and softball, recognizing its past in the process with a plaque. With several dedicated fields locally, soccer is well-served in the area. The sport has come into its own here.
A few years ago, the South African archaeologist Nick Shepherd directed schoolchildren in a project to dig up the pitch at a formerly all-white school to reveal the history of the black communities that used to live on what had become the school grounds. Confronted during my runs recently with the layered uses of Blacksox Field, I thought a bit about figuratively digging up this pitch. In this case, the field of my youth had reemerged as something new, revealing something old, and all the while standing in for the continual transitions of the local community.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Connected to the same wifi as the ipad.
Seems strange.
In an earlier post, someone wrote that apostrophe's in client names are an issue. Is it like Campbell's PC ?
If so, can you rename it without the apostrophe?

Nomad setup fine and works well with my ipad. Downloaded the PC ver to my win7 machine and try to activate. I get a message unable to activate. If nomad is not setup correct it would not work with the ipad. Why is it our Apple products work and my Microsoft stuff dose not.
As an Apple fanatic, I will refrain from the obvious.....
But: It's the software on the client that also has to be "right" with the world. Yes, nomad is working for you, but..... There have been a number of cases where it's been working on one client and not the other in the same household.
Posted 10 October 2011 - 09:54 PM
This is the same problem I kept running into over the weekend using the iPhone app on my iPad 2. I finally got the Nomad to prepare and download some programs. However, for a few programs, the status bars would disappear and it would either just say "Waiting to Prepare" or stay in the Preparation column. I would leave it like this for several hours or even overnight and it wouldn't change or ever download to the iPad. I would cancel the recordings and quit the app and unplug the Nomad and try again, but eventually would get the same issue.
Any thoughts on what is causing this?
On a separate note, does anyone have any insight when the iPad-native app will get released?
I was finally able to isolate that the issue I'm having is that the Nomad gets stuck on the "Waiting to Prepare" for any program that comes from one of my two DVR's.
I have a HR20-700 in my main room and a HR23-700 in my bedroom. Both are networked via DECA and the iPhone app on my iPad recognizes the playlists from both. I don't have the Whole Home DVR service activated, but both DVR's are set to allow external access - my understanding is that you don't have to subscribe to the Whole Home DVR service for Nomad to work.
However, none of the programs on my HR23-700 will prepare (and therefore not download). When I select a program from my HR23-700, it starts out okay and shows a status bar with how much time is left in preparation for about 1-2 minutes. Then, the status bar disappears and it goes back to the "Waiting to Prepare" status where nothing happens and it never gets prepared or ready to download. I reset my HR23-700 and power cycled the Nomad to no avail.
Programs from my HR20-700 work just fine with no issue in preparing and downloading.
What am I doing wrong here? Any thoughts or insight you can share would be greatly appreciated.

One issue is that downloading it to my Vista Laptop kills the wireless connection. It will download for about 5 to 10 minutes before the notebook disconnects from the wireless network. I have not tried a hard wire yet but will give that a shot tomorrow. As soon as the wife gives me time on the notebook!
However, downloaded the IOS app to my IPAD and that worked fine. Downloaded my 1 hour show in about 10 to 15 minutes.
Great idea! I hope they have the full IPAD version ready by the time I go on a 14 hour flight next month!

Remember, this is the first iteration of the software and there should be updates coming in the coming months. (and hopefully enhancements)
Your current options (pre-nomad) are to play a recording to a dvd-recorder and take that dvd with you on a laptop with very bad battery life or rip it the next day (mostly real-time) and copy that to the laptop or possibly the iPad or iPhone.
Several hours of manipulating things to get an hour of video on your mobile device.
nomad now turns that into a few clicks on the same mobile device.
Yes. Is it OK if every suggestion for improvement isn't followed by this disclaimer, as well? I'm not singling you out, but the same exact thing happened in the previous Nomad thread -- now closed.
If we are allowed to have discussions about future features we might iterate on them and, lo, DirecTV might actually implement them in ways that are fantastic and amazing and even beyond our imagination. The very discussion might benefit the product designers/developers. If every time someone suggests something and someone dares approve of the idea or suggest a small way to make that better there's an effort to shut that down with a "this is 1.0" comment, then we don't get to contriibute -- or really even talk about it.
If we need another thread to talk about the future, that's fine. But please, can we not be automatically shot down every time we dare to?
Posted 11 October 2011 - 12:37 AM
Can the nomad be connected to the extra ethernet port on the back of a HR-23?
No, not if that HR23 is part of your Whole Home DVR network. And even then it's not recommended.

Is there any way to check remaining capacity on the nomad? I hooked up a 1TB SATA drive via USB enclosure to the nomad just to see if it would work (and it did, brought up a cool little notification in the Windows client saying that it detected an external drive and asked me if I wanted to format it and use it) but there doesn't seem to be a way to check remaining space...
One suggestion for developers - don't alphabetize movies that start with "The" under "T". That's just silly.

I agree it's silly. It is consistent with the DVRs though.

Check usage and capacity of nomad under Help / System Info.
Minor installation issue - Didn't check whether the external hard drive was recognized until this morning and discovered nomad didn't see the external drive yesterday as part of the initial bootup & firmware update. When I disconnected/reconnected the USB cable this morning, I immediately received the "Format?" message on the iPad client app and it now shows 2TB as "Available Storage".
Suggestion - When you perform the initial installation, do NOT connect an external hard drive. Wait until the initial bootup (&, if necessary, any firmware update) process is complete, you've installed the appropriate client app(s) and completed the activation process. THEN connect an external drive and it should be recognized.

I've found the my first program that refuses to transcode or prepare and therefore won't download to any of my registered devices. It is the following...
HDNet Test Pattern 10 min 0 sec recorded from HDN 5/30/2009 6:30a
This is a short, ten minute, set of HD test patterns that HDNet would run ocassionaly. Many of us on DBStalk would record it, save it and use it to calibrate an HDTV.
From the Nomad client it just sits there saying "WAITING TO PREPARE" and never finishes. I've let it sit overnight and nothing happens.
I'm wondering if it has to do something with it being ten minutes or maybe it's age?
Anyone else run into this issue or other programs that refuse to prepare or download?
It should not have anything to do with the length of the recording or its age. There are a lot of factors that can cause this problem. If you have an iOS device AND a PC, see if you get the same issue on both. If it is just on one, it could be an issue of network latency or virus/firewall settings on the PC.
those of DBSTalk.com, DIRECTV, DISH, The Signal Group, or any other company.

Other than that, it has been a pretty painless Out of the Box Experience, though, which is refreshing. (I had no apostrophes to screw it up.)
Posted 11 October 2011 - 02:03 PM
A big +1 on the slow iPhone app startup time - particularly if you're connected to some wifi network other than the Nomad's home network. I timed app startup at 3 minutes 50 sec, when all I wanted to do was launch and watch a video I already had on the device! Turn wifi off (unacceptable workaround) and startup is reduced to eight seconds.
Other than that, it has been a pretty painless Out of the Box Experience, though, which is refreshing. (I had no apostrophes to screw it up.)
So it's looking for the original network maybe while you're on some other network. And taking a good long while to time out internally perhaps. That seems like an easy thing to fix in a future rev: "Stop looking for Nomad/home net when Wifi network ID != Home network ID". (It would cache the ID the first time when you are loading content.)

Doesn't seem to be the case. Mine starts up way faster at work, on WiFi but outside my home. The only time it's slow is when I'm home and actually on the WiFi.So it's looking for the original network maybe while you're on some other network.

So tomorrow when people start upgrading and iClouding, you may get an error that the next backup it too large and it will ask that you pay up for more storage. Here's a better way:
Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage > This Phone > Backup Options : Nomad : OFF

Country-Fried Steaks Recipe
- 5 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 beef cubed steaks (4 ounces each)
- 1 egg white
- 1 teaspoon water
- 2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1-1/2 cups 2% milk
- 1 teaspoon beef bouillon granules
- 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
- Combine 3 tablespoons flour, cornmeal, salt and pepper; set aside. Coat steaks with remaining flour. Beat egg white and water; dip steaks, then dredge in cornmeal mixture.
- In a large skillet, cook two steaks in 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side or until crisp, lightly browned and cooked to desired doneness. Remove steaks and keep warm. Repeat with the remaining oil and steaks.
- Meanwhile, for gravy, melt butter in a small saucepan; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil over medium heat; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the bouillon, marjoram, thyme and pepper; simmer, uncovered, for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Serve with steaks. Yield: 4 servings.
Full-Bodied Red Wine
Enjoy this recipe with a full-bodied red wine such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot or Syrah.
Reviews for Country-Fried Steaks
Sort By :
"Bland and pretty much awful. Not how I was hoping they would turn out."
"My husband really liked it."
"Didn't really turn out the way I had hoped :( Kind of disappointed with this recipe"
"Turned out good but not very crisp and definitely not very flavorful...but still good and at least it used up the cubed steak we had..."
"The outside of the steaks burnt before the inside was done cooking. I followed the instructions to a "t", and it didn't turn out at all, and I feel like I invested a LOT of time in this. The gravy was absolutely horrible. I dumped out the entire thing and made up my own gravy (which was WAY better). Maybe I just don't have a taste for marjoram/thyme in my gravy...maybe I'm a pepper gravy type of person, but I couldn't bear the thought of serving it to anyone in my house."

If AIDS is obviously a bigger problem in SUb-Saharan Africa i would hope that, that is where we would send the most help and further educate people about safe sex and how to prevent from spreading AIDS.

"Data is great, but working with numbers can be intimidating. We have more data than ever before that is available to us, and graphs, charts, and spreadsheets are ways that data can be shared. If that data has a spatial element to it, the best way to visualize a large dataset might just be a map."
I hope you enjoy this article I wrote about GeoFRED, a way to visualize economic statistics. All of my future articles for National Geographic Education will be archived here at this link.

There really are two different Americas: the heartland, and the coasts....
These maps together show that most of the grain from the American breadbasket does not directly on the table but into the feed trough. I imagined before I saw this data that the percentage of animal feed in the Midwest would be higher than the rest of the United States, but I would not have guessed that it was that high.

I have just added this to my Website of the Week extra credit opportunity for my World Food Problems class. The maps in this story are useful to discuss a host of different issues including: trophic levels, resources used to support omnivorous diets, and that farms are not created equal when it comes to feeding livestock versus humans.
I've always realized that the food we feed animals had to come from somewhere, but I never thought about just how much there actually had to be. We, in America, import so much of our produce, and it now makes a lot more sense as to why. We use what seems to be a majority of our produce supply to feed animals that people will later on eat. In reality, it seems like a waste. We use so much food to feed what will later on become food. As a vegetarian, it seems like a poor cycle, and a waste of so much food that could help a lot of people. I would never try to force anyone to stop eating meat, but looking at this map, it seems that all that produce could go to much better things than feeding animals that are up for slaughter.
My uncles in Iowa grow corn for ethanol. They have a small crop where they grow corn they consume. It is literally the best corn I've ever had. I'm actually surprised Rhode Island produces almost $4mil in sweet corn. I'm amazed that Mass produces $100 mil in cranberries. I've seen a few cranberry bogs close down. We produce so much why can't we actually feed everyone?

"China is in the midst of a crackdown on what it describes as 'terrorism driven by religious extremism'. The campaign is focused on the western province of Xinjiang, home to China's Uighur ethnic minority who are predominantly Muslim."
China does not have a good track record of dealing with ethnic and religious minorities and the murals that can be seen in Xinjiang are a testament to that fact. This has led to many Muslims in Western China being attracted to more radical ideas. While I certainly don't condone radicalism nor China's heavy-handed tactics, I am fascinated by the cultural messages that are strategically being placed in the landscape to influence the politics and culture of the region.

"The large landslide that occurred in March near Oso, Washington was unusually mobile and destructive."
There are several reasons for landslides--some are purely a result of physical geography and others are related to land use patterns. The landslide in Washington state last year was a combination of the two (see on map) and it is a good teaching moment to discuss the environmental impacts of land use patterns and resource extraction projects. As seen in this interactive, the river was cutting at the base of the hill, while loggers were clear-cutting at the top of the mountain. Trees help prevent erosion as the roots hold the soil in place--a critical piece to the puzzle in a very rainy climate. With $1 million worth of timber on the slope, logging companies persisted despite objections from the Department of Natural Resources and some restrictions (but in hindsight, those restrictions clearly were not enough). Watch a simulation of the landslide here.
View the impact in ArcGIS online: Before and After Swipe, LiDAR I and II, and Imagery.
Questions to Consider: Other than economic worth, what other ways are there to value and evaluate the environment? How could this landscape have been protected and managed better or was this landslide inevitable?

This seems like a useful tool to a degree. But if we could actually simulate every destructive event then we would be miracle workers. This was a sad event. We have left such an imprint on the earth that it's starting to fight back. We need to be more aware and careful with the one planet we have. Climate changes are in the news more and more. We can't ignore climate changes anymore.

Take a tour through America's immigrant heritage — at its most and least welcoming
American politicians, and Americans themselves, love to call themselves "a nation of immigrants": a place where everyone's family has, at some point, chosen to come to seek freedom or a better life. America has managed to maintain that self-image through the forced migration of millions of African slaves, restrictive immigration laws based on fears of "inferior" races, and nativist movements that encouraged immigrants to assimilate or simply leave.
But while the reality of America's immigrant heritage is more complicated than the myth, it's still a fundamental truth of the country's history. It's impossible to understand the country today without knowing who's been kept out, who's been let in, and how they've been treated once they arrive.
As a former New Yorker myself, I find map 34 to be interesting. It's unusual how Staten Island doesn't have any Italian immigrants being that Staten Island contains a town called little Italy. I'm not surprised that many immigrants are all sorts of different races because New York City is right overseas from Europe and Western Asia. However, I don't understand why there are a lot of Chinese immigrants in New York, New York because if China were to go overseas to the United States, their closet state would be California. One map that I thought was pretty accurate was the first map. I thought it was accurate because most foreign immigrants were not scattered around the United States. For example, the most of the Mexican immigrants were mostly in the southwestern region of the United States obviously because Mexico is southwest of the United States. Also, many African-American immigrants were in the southeastern area of the United States and it makes sense because I did some research on Georgia and I found out that Georgia has many different ethnic groups. The most popular ethnic group would be African-Americans.
It is very impress on how immigrants has been change the shape of America in the past century. As an immigrant, America has been the protecting motherland and offering a lot of opportunities and better quality life. However, immigrants also has been contributed to America in different ways such as workforce with different cultural and values. In the past century, the theme of immigration has been like roller coaster in terms of legal, political and demographic aspects. Just like other immigrant, the Statue of Liberty brings a lot tourists and contribute to America for the tourist industry, immigrants have grown in population and cities over the past decades and has been change America in different ways. European, Asian, African, Hispanic have added a lot of values to America in terms of grown population and changing the shape of different cities. Immigrants have contributed to the history and change the contour of this country.

This is a clip from the TV show West Wing (Season 2-Episode 16) is a classic--how often does cartography plays a key role in the plot of a TV show? In this episode the fictitious (but still on Facebook) group named "the Organization of Cartographers for Social Justice" is campaigning to have the President officially endorse the Gall-Peters Projection in schools and denounce the Mercator projection. The argument being that children will grow up thinking some places are not as important because they are minimized by the map projection. While a bit comical, the cartographic debate is quite informative even if it was designed to appear as though the issue was trivial.
Questions to Ponder: Why do map projections matter? Is one global map projection inherently better than the rest?

"This map shows Human Development Index (HDI) for 169 countries in the World. The HDI is a comparative measure of life expectancy, literacy, education, and standard of living for countries worldwide. The HDI sets a minimum and a maximum for each dimension, called goalposts, and then shows where each country stands in relation to these goalposts, expressed as a value between 0 and 1, where greater is better. The Human Development Index (HDI) measures the average achievements in a country in three basic dimensions of human development: health, knowledge and standard of living."

The reason why most of Africa and southern Asia has a low Human Development Index is because Africa and southern Asia has a high homelessness rate in comparison to other places and also, their economy is not as strong as Russia's, United States' or Europe's. It is cliché that Africa is mostly known for it's natural environments. Also, the Urban population in Africa is not as much as the Urban population in North America, South America, Europe, Russia and Australia.

In James Howard Kunstler's view, public spaces should be inspired centers of civic life and the physical manifestation of the common good. Instead, he argues, what we have in America is a nation of places not worth caring about.
Kunstler passionately argues that American architecture and urban planning are not creating public places that encourage interaction and communal engagement. We should create more distinct places that foster a sense of place that is 'worth fighting for,' as opposed to suburbia which he sees as emblematic of these problems.
Question to Ponder: How should we design cities to create a strong sense of place? What elements are necessary? Warning: He uses some strong language.
This could become something of a fixation for me. Plano TX is seen on many levels of a great suburban city but here is one way it is lacking most.

"In the United States, there is a long tradition of trying to draw sharp lines between ethnic groups, but our ancestry is a fluid and complex matter. In recent years geneticists have been uncovering new evidence about our shared heritage, and last week a team of scientists published the biggest genetic profile of the United States to date, based on a study of 160,000 people."
Race is a cultural construct; even though it is incredibly problematic, it is a powerful way in which we think of who we are and how others think of who we are.
Questions to Ponder: What are some problems with putting too much stock in race? Why does the idea of race still matter so much in the United States?

How do you map something like "race" when it's such a fluid and socially constructed concept?
I would expect New York to have a higher percentage of ethnic groups because New York, New York is known for having different ethnic restaurants and different towns that compliment all sorts of races. Ethnic groups are all around New York, New York such as the guyanese heritage in Queens, Chinatown in New York City and little Italy in Staten Island. I did some research on why Georgia and Louisiana have the highest percentage rates of foreign Americans and Georgia seems to be one of the highest percentage rates for ethnic groups because according to city-data.com, about 28% of Georgia is African-American and also, over 90,000 in Georgia are Asian, Indian or Chinese. As for Louisiana, many individuals have immigrated mostly from East Asia and Southwestern to Southern Europe.
I would think it would be hard to actually be one race. With all the cross marriages that occurred through the generations, it would be very rare. I agree with this article that it is a very murky distinction. Yet we see many still try to stay within their cultural race with the biggest percentage in their blood line. To defect is seen as going against "your people." This is interesting that this still goes on today.

"The position [that belief in God is essential to morality] is highly prevalent, if not universal, in Africa and the Middle East. At least three-quarters in all six countries surveyed in Africa say that faith in God is essential to morality. People in richer nations tend to place less emphasis on the need to believe in God to have good values than people in poorer countries do."
An important part of the geography of religion is how the non-religious are treated and perceived around the world. More secular countries tend to be more developed, affluent and wealthy; generally speaking these are the countries that do not believe that morality and a belief in God have to be linked together. What do you think? What cultural perspectives shape your thinking?

Interesting data in several different ways...Can draw different conclusions from this, and perhaps shed light on things that need to be modified/changed as it pertains to our belief... A balancing act of sorts...Thank you for curating this... Maybe it will help will cure certain beliefs we hold, individually, and collectively...
It would make sense that Indonesia is one of the most religious countries in the world being that it has the highest Muslim population. Also, I never thought of Europe as being religious countries which is why I am not surprised that 70% of Europe does not believe that the belief in God needs to be moral. Another reason why I am not surprised is because they are more popular for their ethnic groups such as the french group, italian group and german group. Also, they don't have focused religions. For example, Buddhism was originated in Nepal and worshipped mostly in China, Hinduism was originated in India, Jewish was originated in Israel and Islam was originated in Saudi Arabia and it's practiced mostly in Indonesia and Pakistan. That explains why most parts of Asia (at least southern Asia) has practices specific religions.
Summary- This figure explains the relationship between regions and their morality based on a God. It is evident what in North America is is almost a 50 50 tie between between believing in god is essential for morality. Only is Europe does God seem less important than the rest of the world. There are other countries such as Chile, Argentina, or Australia that have these same beliefs, but for the most part, most countries see a believe in God as an essential to morality.
Insight- In unit 3 we study the distributions of many things, religion included. Why do so many poorer countries have a stronger faith in God than wealthier ones? It may be because if their ethnic backgrounds, but I think there is more to it. I think when a country is poorer, more people reach out to their God for help. I also think that in wealthier countries there are distractions from religion such as video games and other mass produced technologies that get in the way of people researching their faith.

"The ships, railroads, and trucks that transport containers worldwide form the backbone of the global economy. The pace of globalization over the last sixty years has accelerated due to containers; just like canals and railroads defined earlier phases in the development of a global economy. While distance used to be the largest obstacle to regional integration, these successive waves of transportation improvements have functionally made the world a smaller place. Geographers refer to this as the Space-Time Convergence."
I've posted here several resources about the global economy and the crucial role that containers play in enabling globalization. In this article for National Geographic Education, I draw on many of these to to put it all in one nice container.

Last year, Julie and I wrote this article for Maps 101 (which was also created into a podcast) about the historical and geographic significance of Dr. Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights movement. Martin Luther King fought racial segregation, which, if you think about it, is a geographic system of oppression that uses space and place to control populations. Derek Alderman and Jerry Mitchell, excellent educators and researchers, produced lesson plans to help students investigate the politics behind place naming, specifically using the case study of the many streets named after Martin Luther King.
Questions to Ponder: Why are streets named after Martin Luther King found in certain places and not in others? What forces and decisions likely drive these patterns? What is the historical legacy of Martin Luther King and how is it a part of certain cultural landscapes?

Hundreds of churches around Europe have closed or are threatened by plunging membership, posing a question for communities: What to do with the once-holy, now-empty buildings?
Europe, the most developed region in the world, is also the most secular region today. During colonial times, Europeans were spreading Christianity across the globe, but now Christianity is becoming more a part of Europe's historical landscape. Secularization can be seen as either the cause or the effect of several other European trends such as declining fertility rates. Today Europe is filled with historic cathedrals, but there is no one to fill them.
Questions to Ponder: What are other signs of secularization on the cultural landscape? What would you do with a former sacred site (and an architectural treasure) that is can't be maintained?

Europe is one of the most developed countries in the world, but considering many churches and buildings are closing down they are questioning what to do with them. Now people are questionnig if Europe is regressing in development.

Partly just because I love this highly quotable movie with an incredible soundtrack, but this short clip from O Brother Where Art Thou? can start be a good conversation starter. I'm hoping to use it when discussing relative location (or isolation) as well as the time-space compression. Frequently, I ask my student how far away they live from campus and invariably they answer with a unit of time (even though distance was implied in the question).
Questions to Ponder: Why do we often answer with a measurement of time when discussing distance? What technologies are dependent on our temporal analysis of distance? How would our perception of distance change based on our access to transportation and communication technologies?

Take flights to Berlin for skyline views across Berlin, late-night parties and perfectly spiced Currywurst.
Things to do
Rise early to beat the crowds to the Reichstag, where an elevator ascends to Norman Foster's crystalline glass dome. Berlin unfolds like a pop-up map from the platform, with views from the Tiergarten's greenery to the Fernsehturm.
Find oddities and souvenirs at the weekend Strasse des 17. Juni Flea Market. Browse Berlin's boutiques for original gifts from Soviet-era souvenirs to Art Deco jewellery and Berlin streetwear. Shoppers pause for coffee and people-watching on café terraces.
Sizzling sounds and tangy aromas lure Berliners to Curry 36 on Mehringdamm. Join the queue to sample this ultimate street food on your Berlin city break: Currywurst (curried sausage), slathered in spicy tomato sauce, accompanied by fries and cabbage salad.
Head for fun-loving Simon-Dach-Strasse, no ordinary bar mile, after Berlin flights. One minute you're whisked back to the 1940s with red velvet and smooth jazz, the next you're dancing in a space-age lounge or watching gigs in a converted loft.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Berlin. Time your Berlin holiday to catch global parades at May's Carnival of Cultures, or fireworks exploding above the Brandenburg Gate on New Year's Eve.
