Space programs created jobs. At that time manufacturing industry was still thriving. Obama still talks about new innovtions and jobs. Alas new enovations do not create jobs for general run of the population. You can not weave cloth or stitch clothing with new innovations. Time is running out. Today Greece tomorrow USA. People are getting restive. They need work.
I would rate the Man on the Moon program a policy failure in conception but a wondrous and history changing event in actual result. What President Kennedy did not take into account and couldn't have cared about less was the scientific potential of manned exploratory teams with significant time and search and transport capabilities on another world. The Apollo program found out more about the composition and origin of the Moon and Earth in a three year exploration cycle than any conceivable combination of robots and probes could have gained in over thirty years! The techniques developed were directly relevant to manned orbital observatories and colonization in the future. It would not have been possible to launch and then progressively upgrade the Hubble Space telescope which has been our premier window on the Cosmos without the legacy of the Apollo program.
There is nothing usual in the actual results of Apollo were completely different form those originally thought controlling. Columbus's expedition in search of a western trade route to the East is another enormous example of a history changing event being initiated for reasons totally unrelated to those for which it was considered successful. Exploration by definition discovers its own value.
The dollars are irrelevant. What is relevant is that resources were spent on something inspirational instead of wasted on nonsense like a welfare state. Dollars are numbers on paper, producing real goods and accomplishing historical important tasks like landing on the moon and exploring the cosmos moves humanity forward.
As Brian David noted, good read.
(My apologies to Lexington for yesterday's "invaluable" comment.)
It is time to end the man is space programs. We can continue sending unmannned explorations and encourage commercial ventures in space.
The space shuttle and space station were a 30 year detour, I think Obama has NASA back on track. My full take http://thinkingaboot.blogspot.com/2011/05/not-bobby-orr.html
just below hockey talk.
The future is not what we were promised. It's hard to believe that 21st century America can't replicate 40 year old technology to return to the moon. I was born in 1974 and growing up I was sure that I would live to see people walking on the Martian landscape. I now have serious doubts that a manned landing on Mars or even a return trip to the moon will happen in my lifetime.
The ill fated astronauts of Apollo 13 still lay claim to the farthest exploration of space by humans at 248,655 miles from Earth. Their record has held for 40 years and could reasonably stand for 40 more. An entire generation of Americans who were born after the Apollo missions will grow old and die and never see that feat duplicated.
We now send astronauts up 1/1,000th the distance we once dared to venture into the void. Can you imagine the generations of seafarers who followed Columbus deciding that the Azore Islands off the African coast was far enough to sail and never venturing back to the New World?
Regretfully this is just another example where we can tell future generations about how we did things such as fly faster than the speed of sound in a commercial airliner and now, travel in space.
Thsi is very short-sighted and unamerican, but the current administration is more interested in social progams than space programs.

LOL I hope you are posting tongue in cheek. If not I'd direct you to the numerous times that such claims of "Moon Fraud" have been debunked. The Mythbusters did a particularly good one.
Yes, let's continue to piss hundreds of billions away on the War Department, forget about expanding beyond our celestial prison - and thus lose sight of mankind's future - and pretend like we're such a prudent people.
Dear The Economist
The picture you choose for this article is awfull ! You are taking the credit out of one machine that has helped mankind like no one other. Even though it is some 30 years old, no one has come up with something better yet.
You might say that Nasa is not what it used to be. I would say that that's not the case. It is the people's impression over Nasa that has change. A person is smart but people are very dumm, and they only give valu to what's new. Since going to the moon and this machine are both old, Nasa is a s. useless organization in the general ignorant publi opinion.
What people don't know is that the Voyager launched in the 70s has just become the first manmade object to leave the solar system, that they found anothe rplanet similar to earth, that they found out what black holes are, that they now understand a lot about Jupiter, venus and even other far more distant galaxies.
They even monitor for asteroids on Erath's path, which would already justify their jobs for certain.
Insetad people like Lady Gaga... As I said, a person is smart, but people can be very dum....
If there had been materials of tremendous value in space then the space shuttle and manned travel might have lasted longer. If the moon was littered with huge slugs of platinum or if a some ground breaking engineering process then it would have been different for manned flight.
Chris Columbus' 14th century venture revealed a vast bounty of resources which justified further investment. All we got from the space program was satellites and quickened development of microelectronics. Both of which would have been had w/o manned flight.
Robotics and computerized control have progressed to the point when it's so much cheaper to let robots do the work until something of great value is discovered. To bad for all the Trekies who dreamed of a starship:(
"The Apollo programme, which was summoned into being in order to demonstrate the superiority of the free-market system, succeeded by mobilising vast public resources within a centralised bureaucracy under government direction. In other words, it mimicked aspects of the very command economy it was designed to repudiate. "
The story is not finished yet. The microchip and the internet would have never existed without government money. Let's wait a decade or two and I think we will all be pleasantly surprised by how effective the private sector will be at filling the void. And that is the traditional American path.
Call me an idealist, but I really would prefer to see tax dollars spent on research and development to cure our diseases, improve our world, and progress the human race in science and technology rather than trying to conquer a portion of the pale blue dot that is earth.
In tallying the costs and benefits of Apollo and the Space Program (civilian and military) in general we seemed to have skipped over the development of highly integrated electronics that underpins the Tech Economy of today. We have to consider whether, absent the ideological struggle that crystallized in both the Space Race and Arms Race, the rugged, highly miniaturized and integrated electronics of smartphones, tablets, GPS(!) units and laptops might not have arrived for another 30 or more years. Some dividends are sufficiently ubiquitous and diffuse such as to be hard to recognize.
Lexington missed a few words off the end "....for America". "It is not a pointer to the future ....for America". The future for space for the other 95% of the world China, India, Japan, Russia, Europe will be with public-private partnership.
But remember.....the only meaningful leadership positions America has ever had have been UnAmerican by this logic.. Aerospace and Defence where the government has been involved. Two other industries that are kept in some shape... Energy and Agriculture are government protected. Industries that are living in an Iron lung now Finance and Automotive, are there because the "American" system failed and they had to be rescued by the unAmerican government.
I am beginning to think huge chunks of the American economy is unAmerican and that sectors can only be successful when the government is involved.
What Lexington thinks of as American.......Unfettered free markets full of enterprising firms building a strong country that tolerates high inequality, poverty, crime and limited notion of society and humanity as an acceptable consequence .....is only partially true. In reality America is quite UnAmerican...and is at its best when it is.
Everybody knows that no man has ever reached the Moon. The whole Neil Armstrong's story about landing on the Moon is one big fraud! There are a lot of evidence confirming that!
What America does best is letting private enterprise innovate and excel.
Time to free the reins and watch space exploration really take off!
No other nation's government would be able to compete and they would be also forced to let private initiative loose....
And before you know it..... a highly intensive space race create new industries and opportunities!
@Handworn, Interesting theory but I think America is better at aeronautical engineering because the laws of physics are simpler, better understood and easier to formulate mathematically than the laws of sociology.
Head of NASA Bolden in a June 2010 interview with Al Jazeera said: "perhaps foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science ... and math and engineering." (The he in Bolden's statement is Obama)
After much mumbling and grumbling from Congressman and others, the White House and Bolden backed off the word "foremost" but otherwise stand by the statement.
So, what's the problem with having no working rocket for NASA then? NASA's job is Muslim Outreach. You don't need a rocket for that, nor do you need a lot of math and science for that.
Regardless of the merits of Muslim Outreach, NASA is not an agency for that. NASA has been made a joke. Unless there is another Sputnik Moment such as China goes to the moon and establishes a moon base (or do anything on the moon beyond America has done already), NASA will stay a joke tasked with calling up Imam and visiting Mosques.

Minimum Stay | 2 - 3 nights |
Take a trip down memory lane when you come stay in this nostalgic vacation home nestled in historic downtown Charlottetown. With all the comforts of home, School Street House provides a genuine one-of-a-kind holiday experience that you just can't get anywhere else. Happily situated in Canada's loveliest little province of Prince Edward Island, School Street House feels just like your favourite Aunt's place!
Night at the Museum: School Street House is not only a guest house, it is a living museum filled with stories, historic photographs and artifacts. Some vintage treasures for music enthusiasts include a 1936 model Hammond BC organ with a Leslie 125, an 1880's Thomas pump organ and a 1940's record player. The furnishings and floorings date between 1900-1960 and antique china displays adorn period cabinets. School Street House is an honest to goodness old-time dwelling steeped in history and preserved since the turn of the last century.
School Street House is a House with a Heart as Mark Twain spoke of his beloved home in 1896, ' 'We never came home from an absence that its face did not light up and speak out its eloquent welcome -- and we could not enter it unmoved.'
Like a Message in a Bottle: Children's signatures discovered on an old plaster wall behind a hundred years of paint and wallpaper revealed that School Street House was the 1904 birthplace and childhood home of world renowned marine botanist, Dr. Constance Ida MacFarlane. Dr. MacFarlane is credited with putting PEI on the map as the "Irish Moss capital of the world." Irish moss, a form of seaweed, is a major source of carrageenan, commonly used as a thickener and stabilizer in processed foods and products, including ice cream, beer, wine and toothpaste.
Comforts of Home & More!: Having your very own centrally located three bedroom vacation house is perfect for folks who prefer their own special spot. Fully equipped and serviced, School Street House has all the necessities plus high-speed internet connection, free local telephone calls & messaging system, cooking/dining utensils, linens/blankets/towels, main floor laundry washer & dryer, iron and ironing board, old-fashioned outdoor clothes line, tv/dvd, stereo, record player, barbeque, picnic table, lawn chairs, private treed yard, off-street parking, house/groundskeeping service and 24 hour staffing as required.
Strictly non-smoking & no pets property. Sorry, no exceptions possible.
Check-in time is after 3:00pm (to be arranged with housekeeper)
Check-out time is 10:00am.
Hi! I design and install sound, light and projection systems throughout Prince Edward Island. I'm also a boom mic operator and recordist for tv & film productions. My love of preservation and restoration projects has led to the operation of my historic guesthouse. Hope to see you here in 2015!
Thomas Barnes purchased this house in 2005
'I love this place already. I always heard that Prince Edward Island was the most beautiful place in Canada, and I used to imagine I was living here. This is the first dream that has ever come true for me.' Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island is the most perfect city in Canada. It's small and has everything you could ever imagine. Being downtown means that shops, restaurants, theatres, cinema and the waterfront are all within walking distance. Charlottetown is a central location and makes for handy day trips to all the other great spots on this amazing Island.
For people who want a one-of-a-kind experience when they visit PEI, School Street House takes you back to yesteryear in the comfort of today. We know its history dating back to 1874 and give guided tours when the House is vacant. Guided tours are complementary for guests and are available upon request. School Street House is a member of the Community Museums Association of PEI.
Walk into School Street House and be transported back in time by furniture, organs, radios, and decor that could have furnished the home of a beloved great aunt. Diane hopes for guests who "have a heart for the place," and a "heart for history." She says, "It feels like walking into yesteryear."
Diane loves to leave history as is, unrenovated, but she can't help digging around, stirring up the stories in the walls—from finding a signature on the wall of School Street House that led her to the history of Dr. Constance MacFarlane, the renowned marine botanist who was born in the home, to writing a musical set on PEI and inspired by an advertisement from 1907.
With its handy location, School Street House is just a skip away from everything including theatres, galleries, historic sites, churches, repertoire cinema, shops, restaurants, seafood pound, farmer's market, parks, harbour and trails yet it's only a 5 minute hop in the car to the golf course, 15 minutes to the beach and 25 minutes to Anne of Green Gables House! Being based in the Province's capital makes for easy day trips to all parts of the beautiful Province of Prince Edward Island.

POPLAR ISLAND — — While most of the Chesapeake Bay's islands are slowly vanishing beneath the waves, one not far from Baltimore is staging a remarkable renaissance.
Poplar Island, former hunting retreat, hangout for politicos and black cat farm, had nearly washed away by the late 1990s. But it's since been restored to the size it was when it was still a thriving 19th-century farming and fishing community, using muck dredged from the shipping channels leading to Baltimore just 34 miles to the northwest.

Do you have favorites among your children?
General chatter - ChildrenView Full Version : Children BellaLucia 10-16-2008, 08:46 AM Do you have favorites among your children? queenofthehouse 10-16-2008, 08:57 AM No. I have children who I sometimes like a little more than the other(s) at any given time and 2 of my 3 children are extremely easy (so far) and one that will argue with me till the cows come home. But all 3 (boys, 8, almost 7 and 5) can annoy me and make my heart overflow. If anyone guessed the middle child is the issue, ding, ding, ding, you win the prize. What is it with those middles? LOL tamaralynn 10-16-2008, 08:57 AM That is always a tough question to answer :) I don't have a "favorite" - I love both of my children equally. I can deffinaly "favor" one's attitude compared to the other a times LOL. When my son is having a "bad" day, my daughter has her "good" and vice versa LOL. But I particularly love the days when they're both agreeable and we can all get along peacefully. aphil 10-16-2008, 03:12 PM What kind of a question IS this? :?: :?: :?: :?: I would hope, sincerely, that no one answers that they indeed DO have a favorite child. I can say from experience that I and my husband both know how hurtful it can be, when a relative (parent, grandparent, etc.) plays favorites...especially when it is obvious. luvja 10-16-2008, 03:14 PM I hate to say this, but it's true. My parents CLEARLY had/still have favourites. You don't even need to live in our house to recognize that. My Dad favours me, and my Mom favours my little sister. Thats the way it's always been. I don't know why, but it's clear. aphil 10-16-2008, 04:20 PM Well, my husband and I were both the kids who were clearly NOT the favored ones...and we ended up working our behinds off for minimal praise or attention, while the favored siblings are full grown adults who are still getting everything handed to them. I would never do that to my kids... Amy8888 10-16-2008, 04:21 PM I don't have favorites although as others have mentioned, there are times when one is easier to deal with than the other. I have two toddlers, one who is in her terrible two's and the other who is a new walker. It's hard if I have to take them both out to run an errand, so I usually leave one at home with my husband. Usually it's the girl who comes with me because she's better at listening to instructions and easier to deal with in public (between tantrums, of course). So it might appear that I favor her because I take her out with me more, but it's more a matter of convenience. belinda245 10-16-2008, 04:28 PM here's my 2 cents on this... I have 2 girls .. ages 10 & 4. I love them both the same and they both mean the world to me however.. I have a much stronger bond with my 10 year old. And my 4 year old has a much stronger bond with her dad. I tend to do more activities with my older one because she is a lot like me and is very girly like me. My little one tends to favor her dad more than me.. and is like our little tomboy. I don't love her any less and we have our own special bond.. but she is 110 % a daddy's girl. srmb60 10-16-2008, 04:30 PM This question just makes my head spin to even think about! My kids are all soooo different. I don't know how you'd even begin to compare. And now I have a son-in-law and a grand-daughter .... phew! Different again! It's mind-boggling. asparagus4sale 10-16-2008, 05:05 PM Well, by far, my favorite is my 3 year-old. My two-year old can be such a pain and she pooped on the floor twice this week. The two one-year olds - well they are ok but I barely ever see them. So, yep, definitely going with the 3 year old. Plus he is the only human so we have that in common. :D:D:D FB 10-16-2008, 05:31 PM Oh Sarah, funny, funny girl. I think my mouth was hanging open and all slack jawed as I began reading your post, smiling by the end. ;) FrouFrou 10-16-2008, 05:36 PM My mom has favs but I do not, maybe I learned from her how not to be when I had kids. I would like to say I treat all my kids equal. I love them all the same but different because all three of them are different. But I don't do more for one over the other or love one more than the other. I would do anything for any of them and they know that. zeffryn 10-16-2008, 10:14 PM I have a two year old and another on the way.....I cannot think about how I could love another kid the same way that I do my son....but something tells me it won't be a problem. It just blows my mind how my heart can just make room for another. kaplods 10-16-2008, 11:20 PM My (younger) brother and I were adopted (separately, we're not biorelated). I remember being really, really excited when my mom was pregnant with my first sister (I was 14), and one of my best friends asked me if I wasn't afraid that that my parents would love the baby more because it was their "real" child (I guess my brother and I were fake kids). I remembered thinking it was the craziest thing I'd ever heard, but I was surprised at how many adults asked my parents similar questions. "Oh you must be so thrilled to be having your own child after so many years." (Like my brother and I were just rentals, I guess). I would say that my mother identifies more with our youngest sister (their personalities are crazy clones of each other), but I've never seriously felt any of us was a clear favorite (at least not consistently, of course there were times when one child got more attention than another, and anyone in a pouty mood could decide to think that the child getting the attention at the moment was the favorite). Like my brother accusing me of being the favorite because I had no curfew (he consistently broke his 10 pm curfew, and I never had a curfew because I was a boring child and rarely came home after 9). lauralyn 10-17-2008, 07:58 AM I remember reading somewhere that it is not uncommon for parents to favor one child over the other. My parents favored my sisters who are 6 years younger than me and still do. I vowed to never do that to any of my children. With that being said my middle child who is 13 pushes every button I have and she is often times very hard to talk to where my older daughter (17) and my son (9) are easy to talk to so I am able to communicate much easier with them. I know it is just a faze with my 13 year old so I try not to let it get me down when she would rather read then spend time doing anything with me. So no, I don't have a favorite but there are times when it is easier to be with one child than the other. aphil 10-17-2008, 08:21 AM I am aware fully that some children, due to their personalities, are easier to be around than others...but I don't think that is favoring so much. What I am talking about (and both myself, and my husband have experienced) is one OBVIOUSLY being the favorite. For instance, on my dad's side of the family, my grandmother favored my female cousin over me. (The rest were boys.) It was so obvious, that she didn't ever ask me to spend the night, ask me to do things with her, etc. but always did Kristy. There was even an incident where I wanted something for my birthday, and actually asked my grandmother for it (It was a Smurfette stuffed animal, BTW.) and when my birthday came around, my cousin had a Smurfette in her room, and I found out that it was my grandmother who bought it for her for no special day at all. I never got one... The funny thing is, is that out of all of her grandchildren, I am pretty much a carbon copy of my grandmother. I look like her, have her mannerisms, her artistic abilities, about 90% of her body type/shape...and we are even the same astrology sign. She died 7 years ago, when I was pregnant with my second child...and to this day, my grandfather cannot see me without crying-the resemblance is that striking. I have to say that it is an odd experience-resembling someone SO much physically and talentwise...when you always felt that the person never liked you all that much. It's a constant reminder. My husband has two younger sisters that he grew up with (he has other siblings...long story) and the middle child was the "favorite". Actually, she was, and still is, babied. Jason and his youngest sister had to work for everything, and the middle child didn't. She is favored and spoiled not only by the parents, but by the maternal grandparents as well-to the point that she is almost 30 years old, and has never made a car payment. (Grandpa keeps her in a vehicle...) She also had her college paid for...while my husband had to pay for his own student loans, etc. It has even trickled down into our children. They are pretty much raising her 2 year old child, and apparently he walks on water. I had my youngest child just a few weeks apart from when she had hers...and they were at the hospital with loads of gifts for them...and they didn't even come and see OUR son for over a week, and brought nothing. It sucks royally when people play favorites... besita 10-17-2008, 09:52 AM Well, by far, my favorite is my 3 year-old. My two-year old can be such a pain and she pooped on the floor twice this week. The two one-year olds - well they are ok but I barely ever see them. So, yep, definitely going with the 3 year old. Plus he is the only human so we have that in common. :D:D:D My mouth definitely fell open at first, but reading the ending made me laugh out loud! :lol: I don't have children, but speaking for my parents they make it very well known that they love us and appreciate us equally. My sister and I used to try to catch them on "Who is your favorite?!" all the time when we were little and they would never fall for it. Neither of us were ever treated better or worse than the other, even if one of us did something seriously naughty. Having our Mom and Dad as our parents is a blessing that I thank God for every day. :D MBN 10-17-2008, 10:07 AM I don't think I love my 2 teenage boys unequally, but maybe "differently". They are such different kids. The older is more reserved, usually more mature/responsible (although not always!), brilliant, but more theoretical than practical, a GREAT kid and my first child. The second one is funny/outgoing, more happy-go-lucky but more practical in many ways, more like me so we we tend to tangle more, a GREAT kid, and my baby. They've both driven me crazy at times, and also made me so proud in many ways. How could I pick one over the other? I couldn't imagine life without both!! alinnell 10-17-2008, 01:24 PM I have a favorite son and a favorite daughter. Of course, I only have two children!!! EZMONEY 10-17-2008, 04:07 PM I don't think I could love or show my son and daughter more love to each than I do. I think that shows in how much they love and respect each other and their spouses, myself and their mom and step-mom. My relationship with each is so unique and special yet they overlap.... My daughter's favorite player was always her brother, whether it was track, cross-country, roller hockey, basketball or baseball....she rarely missed a game....my son never missed a chance to watch his sister in her dance recitals or tennis matches. My son took an extra year of college to pursue another degree then had a teaching credential year....therefore he and his sister graduated college on the same day from different colleges...at the same time..... he didn't walk with his college....allowing ALL of us to go see his sister, including himself. I have a friend that favors his children and grandchildren....very obviously....it is not a pretty picture. shantroy 10-17-2008, 04:45 PM My parents have always tried to be fair about everything. I graduated university in 4 years. It's taken my brother 5 years with summer school every year. Since my brother was getting more "money" for his education. they helped me buy a car for my job. I've never felt that one of us was the favourite and I'm glad for that. I have a friend who always always get the short end of the stick so to speak and it drives me nuts. It's so bad sometimes that my mom has even commented on it to my friends mom (our mom's are friends). However, when my brother and I were little we'd ask who the favourite was. If I aksed my mom would respond with my brother. If my brother asked I was the favourite. It used to make me so mad... EZMONEY 10-17-2008, 04:51 PM My kids never asked me who was my favorite....cool. Operator265 10-17-2008, 05:07 PM Everyone thought I was my mom's favorite, but I think the situation was just too confusing. I was born 7 years after my youngest brother, my mom divorced BioDad when I was 5 and her life and career took off. Although Mom never really wanted children, I was the most unwanted pregnancy due to circumstances. Then came the guilt of those feelings and the improvement in her lifestyle. It's not that she favored me, it was just that she felt guilty about the fact that she didn't have much for the older kids and tried to make up for it on me. The older kids are also pretty good at not noticing that I was the one who got to help my step dad pick up the emotional garbage that her first marriage left her with after they all ran away from it(understandably, but still...). After her funeral I pointed out to my oldest sis that 1) She got 15 more yrs. with Mom, and 2) She got to start out life with a halfway decent family life for the first 10 years before BioDad went completely nuts. I think that kinda helped her get over some of the jealousy. PS: Mom often said she never had a Wanted Pregnancy, but she also never had an Unwanted Child. vBulletin® v3.6.7, Copyright ©2000-2015, Jelsoft Enterprises Ltd.

Oracle Debuts Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel
The relationship between Oracle and Red Hat becomes even more strained.
At Oracle OpenWorld Oracle announced the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel. Oracle touts the kernel as being more than 75 percent faster than Red Hat according to OLTP benchmarking.
The kernel itself is based on the 2.6.32 mainline kernel. It allows for existing Oracle Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 customers to upgrade without reinstalling the entire operating system. Oracle says that third party applications for both RHEL 5 and Oracle Linux will run unabated. At the same time, however, the announcement slips in a mention that from this point forward the Unbreakable Kernel is the only kernel Oracle recommends using.
Between this announcement at Red Hat's decision to stop support Xen in favor of the KVM virtualization technologies that came with the acquisition of Qumranet, it looks like the future of Red Hat and Oracle compatibility is a shaky one.

13 People who merely listen to laws from God don't have God's approval. Rather, people who do what those laws demand will have God's approval. | 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous. |

Sylvia from NS
I am 44 and am a lifetime member of WW. Motivation comes is many packages, but the newest one for me is this forum. I have been having trouble over the last few weeks, wanting to be thin, but not really wanting to do the work. Today, I got dressed, and decided to try on an Old Navy white dress shirt that I have owned for three years, and it has never really fit me right. Today it does!! I feel great and it is the inspiration that I needed to keep going. Tucking in that shirt and not having it pull at the bust line or around the middle is the best feeling I have had in this current journey so far! Thank you all for your little insights into this battle we are all dealing with and helping each other in little ways every day when we sit down and open up 3Fat Chicks!! Love to all, Sylvia from NS:hug:

Bryher Cable Skinny Scarf
Bryher is worked holding one strand of worsted weight wool with one strand of decorative mohair--the blue one in these pictures is knit with the Idena plus the Patons. The green one uses the Portrait plus the Patons. The brown one is knit with recycled alpaca from a thrift store sweater.
This scarf is named for the novelist Bryher. Who is Bryher?
Bryher was the pen name for Annie Winifred Ellerman, British novelist born in 1894. She was the life-long companion of the poet H.D. She was also very rich, and used her wealth to help Jews escape Germany in the 1930s.
A tough world traveler, she would have needed a compact, warm, yet stylish scarf like this one.
This project is a perfect stash-buster. A great pattern for recycled yarn from a thrift store sweater, too.
A fast knit, it makes a great gift.
A Note from Katie Rose: PLEASE email me if you find any errors with the pattern. I'll revise it and send out a free update. Thanks!

State lawmakers are moving to strip cities of any last vestiges of local regulation of guns.
On a voice vote Thursday, the Senate approved legislation to bar local governments from enacting any rules more prohibitive than state laws or carrying a greater penalty about who can carry a gun and where that person can go with a gun. SB1168 expands existing laws that already pre-empt some local rules to take in anything that a city might want to regulate, including storage, licensing and registration.
Any existing regulation that is in conflict would disappear if SB1168 becomes law.
Most immediately, the legislation would overturn rules some communities have about people bringing weapons into city parks.
It would not, by itself, kill regulations that universities and community colleges now have to keep weapons off their campuses. That's because a separate state statute specifically gives the governing boards of these institutions the power to regulate conduct, including the possession of weapons.
But Sen. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, who crafted the legislation, has made it clear that is one of his goals. He calls the campuses "no-defense zones" where people are disarmed and can't defend themselves against criminals.
"You take Virginia Tech: 32 students were killed because nobody was able to defend them," Pearce said. Elsewhere, he said, "lives were saved" when those with weapons were able to kill criminals.
Sen. Linda Lopez, D-Tucson, attempted to foreclose that option by altering SB1168 to spell out that any state pre-emption of local regulations cannot affect colleges and universities. That amendment was defeated.
But Pearce noted that the change she sought was irrelevant: Without or without his bill - and with or without her amendment - lawmakers always remain free to repeal the separate law letting governing boards regulate guns.
Pearce said there are places where it is inappropriate for people to carry guns, such as into courthouses.
"But that ought to be a debate here at the Legislature and a policy set by this body," he said, rather than each community coming up with its own regulations.
That specifically goes for parks, Pearce said, which is why his measure is worded the way it is.
"Some (cities) don't allow even concealed weapon (permit) holders" in their parks, he said. Pearce said the state definitely should not be restricting those who have gone through the required training and background checks to get those permits to protect themselves.
"The most dangerous place you can travel today at dark is in a city park," he said.
A final roll-call vote will send the measure to the House.

Pidgin 2.10.7 Review
More security updates, same great chat experience.
Pidgin is a multi-service messenger app that lets you chat with users from MSN, AIM, Gmail, ICQ, and more, all from a single app. Users can keep their modern clients but also keep in touch with their old-school friends and family who just refuse to get off AOL Instant Messenger and Yahoo Messenger. It also supports lesser-known protocols like Jabber, MySpace, and Gadu-Gadu.
Installation was pretty straightforward: You'll be taken through a series of standard confirmations for install directories and then be introduced to an initial setup process to have your accounts synced up. Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, we were unable to get Facebook Chat to work, due to some XMPP validation error. It's okay, though; you're probably on Facebook right now, anyway.
Users can create custom responses, or "pounces," for notifications from specific parties or IDs. That means that if you receive a notification from an important friend or family member, you can create custom triggers and alerts. Other options include mail notifications (as for Gmail users) and custom add-ons like transparency effects, buddy tickers, and more.
The interface is very minimal and clean, with a standard green/red/yellow dot to indicate user activity or idleness, followed by the name and avatar. You can set your own custom notification and status message on the bottom and change your own avatar directly from the main menu. It's as simple as it gets.
Pidgin is free and open-source. We recommend it especially for users who want to use a single message client for multiple services. In the meantime, tell your friends stuck in the 1990s to discover Gmail or Facebook.

- Watching two proprietary software companies deeply opposed to computer user freedom lob accusations back and forth about who is more opposed to freedom has been surreal, to say the least. But what's been crystal clear is that the freedom these companies are arguing about is their own, not that of their users. And what they are calling freedom isn't freedom at all -- it is the ability to control those users. Adobe is mad at Apple for not letting Adobe control iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch users via Flash, and Apple is mad at Adobe for suggesting that Apple is arbitrarily abusing its control over Application Store users.

i know im gonna hate the disc with the slots so does anybody know if there are any discs that have HOLES which fit the bindings perfectly?????
Wooden Robots
I'm not sure what you are talking about. The disk that comes with this is totally normal. It fits the binding perfectly, The description of the For' Em multi disk is trying to say that there is no board that this binding will not fit on. All four hole, three hole, any old slider boards by forum or capita, or then new ICS by burton. The disk is great and works really well. There is no reason why you should hate the disk. The disks also come with washers to allow you to micro adjust far more than any 4-hole disk. These disks are way better than traditional disks.

General Sir Charles Carmichael Monro, 1st Baronet of Bearcrofts, GCB, GCSI, GCMG, (15 June 1860 – 7 December 1929) was a British Army general officer during the First World War and later served as Governor of Gibraltar from 1923 to 1929.
Military career[edit]
Educated at Sherborne School and the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, Monro was commissioned into the 2nd Regiment of Foot in 1879.[1][2] He served in the Second Boer War and was present at the Battle of Paardeberg in 1900.[1] In 1907 he was appointed Commander of 13th Infantry Brigade in Dublin and in 1912 he became General Officer Commanding 2nd London Division.[1]
He was deployed to France as General Officer Commanding 2nd Division at the start of the First World War and played an important part in the First Battle of Ypres.[1] In December 1914 he became General Officer Commanding I Corps and then in July 1915 he was made General Officer Commanding Third Army.[1] After the Gallipoli Campaign, General Ian Hamilton was dismissed as Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force and replaced by Charles Monro in October 1915.[1] Monro ordered the evacuation of troops from Gallipoli.[1]
In 1916 Monro briefly commanded the British First Army in France before becoming Commander-in-Chief India later that year.[1] As Commander-in-Chief, India Monro had responsibility for the Mesopotamian campaign. Robertson told him to "keep up a good show" (1 August 1916) in Mesopotamia but not to make any further attempt to take Baghdad, but this was overruled by Curzon and Chamberlain on the War Committee. Monro inspected Maude's forces on his way out to India, and after receiving his favourable report the War Committee authorised Maude to attack (18 September 1916).[3]
In 1923 Monro was appointed Governor of Gibraltar.[1]
Monro died in 1929 and is buried in Brompton Cemetery, London.[4]

How is your day going? Monday getting you down? Are the life and job that you told yourself would be temporary slowly becoming the life and job you'll have until you die? Or maybe you don't even have a job, and every day is just a reminder that there will be more days like this to come, no matter how hard you try? Are you wearing soggy shoes because you didn't realize it was raining when you left the house this morning and, even if you HAD realized it was raining when you left the house this morning, you wouldn't really have been able to do anything about it anyway because you don't have any rain-appropriate footwear? Well maybe you should SHUT UP, STOP COMPLAINING, AND BE GRATEFUL THAT YOU'LL AT LEAST NEVER KNOW KRISTEN STEWART'S PAIN. From Elle, via ONTD:
"I didn't go to fucking school, I feel I would have had a bit something extra if I had," she tells the latest issue of Elle. "Maybe because my life is so fucking perfect, when I see the other side of life, it just seems like, almost like I want…
"You can learn so much from bad things. I feel boring. I feel like, Why is everything so easy for me? I can't wait for something crazy to fucking happen to me. Just life. I want someone to fuck me over! Do you know what I mean?"
YES, WE KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN! Puh-leeze, Kristen Stewart. As if anyone couldn't understand the human plight of "I want someone to fuck me over." Very normal, very honest, very sensitive to your readers, and definitely NOT a super shitty humblebrag meant to endear you to the Normals while at the same time keeping a VERY safe distance from them. "I almost wish I weren't famous, because being able to have everything you want kind of takes the specialness out of owning certain things sometimes. Just because you end up owning and being able to experience so many special things." "I almost wish I could have acne, just to feel what it was like when someone looked at you and saw a flaw." It's just too bad that there's an ellipsis where we should see your explanation of what seeing the "other side of life" makes you feel like you almost want. What is it, Kristen Stewart? WHAT DOES IT ALMOST MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU WANT? One of the world's most painful unanswered questions for sure, second only to "Why is everything so easy for me?"

OR – did she go to Fucking School?

Find hidden cash Saturday in sweet spots throughout Riverside CountySaturday, July 12th, 2014 Issue 28, Volume 18.
This hint comes one day after the once anonymous benefactor, now known to be Jason Buzi, 43, of Palo Alto, returned to the Southland Friday with a drop-and-discover in the Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Park in Baldwin Hills. That treasure quest was cut short when the park had to be cleared just after 8 p.m. when it closed. Buzi, who Tweets under the handle @HiddenCash, apologized for the mix- up, saying "I'm sorry people. It took me longer to prepare and get there (traffic) and do the drop than I anticipated. We have three more this weekend." Buzi later admitted there were five cash packets stashed at Hahn Advertisement Late Friday night, Buzi Tweeted two new hints about his plans for the rest of the weekend in Southern California: a query about how many of his followers live near downtown Los Angeles or in Diamond Bar, and his decision to try leaving his next cash drop in sugar packets. "Why? Easier to hide, harder to find," he Tweeted, "and it fits great." Buzi tweeted an update early Saturday afternoon to his followers @HIDDENCASH: Riverside: Many of you were so close. By the orange big rig. Lotions & lace. All in that field. Go! And play nice. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

A man is facing a felony charge of sexual abuse of children after he allegedly responded to an undercover agent's Craigslist ad about sex for sale with a fictitious 14-year-old boy.
Kenneth Dale Eagle, 26, appeared in Yellowstone County Justice Court Thursday.
According to charging documents, Eagle responded Monday to an ad posted on Craigslist by an agent with the Montana Division of Criminal Investigation.
The agent reported emailing and texting back and forth with Eagle, who agreed to pay for sex with a 14-year-old boy at a hotel the following day.
Eagle went to the hotel shortly after midnight Wednesday, where officers arrested him, court records say.
Eagle allegedly admitted to the agent that he responded to the Craigslist ad and that he went to the hotel intending to have sex. But, Eagle denied knowing the sex would be with a child or being willing to pay for sex, charging documents say.
Judge Pedro R. Hernandez set Eagle's bond at $50,000 and scheduled him for arraignment in District Court on July 14.

They love getting dressed up and going out, so it's no wonder Cara Delevingne and Kendall Jenner were the perfect costumed pair for Halloween on Friday (October 31).
The British model babe put on a Super Mario getup and joined forces with the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" starlet, who wore a Luigi ensemble.
It's a big deal to walk the runways during the world's fashion weeks, and Kim Kardashian revealed that her sister's modeling role is taking a toll on her emotionally.
During an interview with Look magazine, the 34-year-old reality queen said that she gets super sappy when she sees Kendall Jenner on the runway.
There are lots of rumors out there regarding the pair's fashion-related quarrels, but Kendall Jenner proved that family always comes first by wishing her sister Kim Kardashian West a Happy Birthday on Tuesday (October 21).
The reality queen turned 34 this week and the 18-year-old model made sure to pay tribute to her big sib on Instagram with a black-and-white collage.
Keeping up with her work schedule, Kendall Jenner jaunted over to a meeting in New York City earlier this afternoon (October 22).
Toting along her modeling portfolio, the 18-year-old stunner kept a close eye on her phone as she strutted over to her awaiting ride.
Kick starting their week with a dose of cuteness, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Baldwin stepped out onto the New York City streets together on Monday afternoon (October 20).
The famous besties looked uber-chic as they ran a few errands joined by the blonde beauties adorable Labrador puppy.
They may not be able to legally purchase alcohol, but the guys and girls on Time's 25 Most Influential Teens of 2014 are making a difference in their world.
It's one of the most coveted titles in the modeling industry and it sounds like Kendall Jenner may end up as a Victoria's Secret Angel in the months ahead.
The 18-year-old stunner has been all over the fashion week scenes in New York, Milan and Paris, and according to In Touch she's close to scoring a high-profile gig at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show this year.
Paris was steaming last night (September 30) as plenty of A-list celebrities headed out for the CR Fashion Book Issue No. 5 launch party.
Held in the City of Lights and hosted by Carine Roitfeld, the event drew super star power including celebrity guests like Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber.

Tips & Tricks
Display Owner Contact Info on Lock Screen
Although iOS doesn't specifically provide an "Owner Information" feature, if you're concerned about losing your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch you can easily create your own version simply by using a custom lock screen wallpaper. Simply take your favourite wallpaper image and load it up in Photoshop or a similar image editing tool, and add whatever text you want, such as a name or contact number. Be sure to place the text within the general center area of the image so that it doesn't get obscured by the lock screen banners and controls, and then save the file, transfer it into your iOS Photo library via either iTunes or simply e-mailing it to yourself, and set it as your lock screen wallpaper. An elegant but simple solution that allows you to get as creative as you want and displays your contact information front-and-center.
Managing Bluetooth Contact Sync
- February 26, 2013
- iPhone,
iOS supports a handy feature known as the Bluetooth Phone Book Access Profile for transferring your contacts from your iPhone to a compatible Bluetooth device such as an in-car system, allowing for direct access to your contacts from you car's dashboard. If you don't want to transfer your entire contact list to your car, however, you can set which contact categories and groups are available in your Bluetooth device settings. Once you've paired your car kit or other Bluetooth device with your iPhone, simply tap on the arrow icon to the right of the device name in the Bluetooth devices listing to bring up additional settings for that device. If the device supports the Phone Book Access Profile, you will see an option here allowing you to enable or disable contact sync entirely; when enabled, additional options appear allowing you to control what groups of contact information are available to the remote Bluetooth device, including your phone favorites and recent calls lists, all contacts, or any specific contact groups you may have created.
Forward all incoming phone calls to voicemail
- February 14, 2013
- iPhone,
The Do Not Disturb feature introduced in iOS 6 is a very handy way of essentially silencing your iOS device entirely. However, it doesn't really provide an option for only preventing incoming calls while still receiving notifications for things like text messages and e-mail. If you're in a situation where you don't want to be disturbed by incoming phone calls but want to keep the rest of your notifications enabled and you're on a GSM network, you can actually use call forwarding to simply send all of your calls straight to your carrier's voicemail access number.
To enable this feature, you first need to find out which number is being used for your voicemail forwarding by going into the Phone app and dialing *#67# and pressing the "Call" button. Write the number down that appears here and then simply go into Settings, Phone, Call Forwarding and enable it using this number. All of your incoming calls will be sent directly to your voicemail as long as Call Forwarding is enabled, and when you want to go back to receiving incoming calls normally,simply go back into your Settings app and toggle Call Forwarding back OFF. As an added bonus, the iPhone will retain the last number used for Call Forwarding, so when you want to send all of your calls to voicemail again, you can simply go back in and toggle the Call Forwarding setting back ON without needing to re-enter the number again.
For more details, check out this week's Ask iLounge article on Sending all iPhone calls to voicemail.
Disabling Notifications for Individual Passbook Passes
Apple's Passbook app is great for letting you store a digital wallet for everything from your Starbucks card to your airline boarding pass, and by default includes location- and time-based notifications, allowing passes to come up automatically when you're near your favourite store or your event is about to start. While you can easily turn these notifications off globally via Settings, Notifications in the way as for any other iOS app, what happens if you prefer to receive notifications from certain important passes—such as your airline ticket—while preventing notifications from appearing when you happen to walk by a local movie theatre? The good news is that you can do this right on the pass itself—simply open Passbook, select the pass, and tap the small "i" button in the bottom right corner to virtually flip the pass around and display additional details. Among these will be a Show on Lock Screen option which you can toggle off to prevent that particular pass from displaying time- and location-based notifications.
Resetting the Advertising Identifier in iOS 6.1
Since the release of iOS 6.0 last fall, Apple has gradually begun changing the rules for in-app advertising and device identification, transitioning developers to a new "Advertising Identifier" in place of the older, permanent Universal Device Identifier (UDID). iOS 6.0 introduced the ability for users to opt out of this new form of tracking entirely via a rather obscure option tucked away at the bottom of the About screen in the Settings app. With iOS 6.1, users now have an additional option that can be found here—Reset Advertising Identifier—that can be used to generate a new, unique Advertising Identifier for your device. This can be useful for those users who may not mind targeted ads or other forms of device tracking but may wish to effectively "start over" with a new unique advertising ID.
Apple includes a "Learn More" link at the bottom to provide more information on this feature, explaining that advertising networks are not yet required to use the new iOS 6 Advertising Identifier feature, and hence the use of the word "Limit" rather than "Disable" or "Opt-out," suggesting that it will not yet completely eliminate ad tracking, but it's definitely a step in the right direction if you're concerned about this. Apple has begun transitioning developers away from using the UDID, and is expected to prevent third-party access to it entirely at some point, requiring developers to use the new user-controlled Advertising Identifier if they still wish to identify specific devices in their apps.
Removing downloaded iTunes Match tracks in iOS 6.1
If you're an iTunes Match user, you may be happy to know that with yesterday's release of iOS 6.1, Apple has returned the ability to not only download individual tracks from iCloud on-demand, but also to manually remove specific tracks or even entire albums and artists from your local device storage. Although this capability was present in iOS 5.x, it disappeared with the release of iOS 6.0 for unknown reasons. Now in iOS 6.1, however, if you're low on capacity and want to free up some additional space by removing your downloaded tracks, simply choose a track, album or artist from the appropriate listing and swipe left-to-right to bring up a "Delete" button. The local copy of the track(s) will be removed from your device, but will remain available in your iCloud-based library for future access. Note that the delete button is only available when accessing song listings from outside of a playlist.
Be sure to check out our article, Instant Expert: Secrets & Features of iOS 6.1 for all the details.
Making Siri work again when it's "having a problem"
Siri can be a very useful virtual assistant, but unfortunately its reliance on Apple's servers to translate your requests means that it doesn't always work when you're on the fringes of network coverage or moving between a Wi-Fi and cellular network—such as when you're leaving the house. Further, Siri will generally only tell you that it's "having a problem" without being particularly helpful at explaining what it's problem actually is, but it's most often related to an error communicating with Apple's servers—due to either a poor network connection on your end, or a problem on Apple's. It's also not uncommon for Siri to get hung up on a bad connection and refuse to handle requests even after your device has returned to a good network connection and everything should otherwise be working fine. If you notice that Siri is repeatedly not responding to requests even though you have a good connection, you can easily give it a nudge simply by toggling Airplane Mode ON on your device, waiting a few seconds, and then toggling it back OFF to reset your network connection, toggling Siri itself off and back on again, or in a worst-case scenario, simply turning your device off and back on. We've had more luck flipping either Siri or the phone on and off than using Airplane Mode, as there is clearly a bug that's specifically hanging the Siri app. While these are not ideal solutions, they can help get Siri up and running again in a minute as opposed to thinking that it simply isn't working for an hour.
Archiving or Deleting Messages in Mail
If you're using a Gmail or iCloud account in the iOS Mail app, you actually have the option of choosing to have the standard Trashcan button either delete messages or archive them. While the default behaviour for the button can be configured in the Mail account settings to archive instead of delete—in which case it will display as an archive bin rather than a trashcan—you can also override the behaviour on a per-use basis simply by tapping and holding your finger on the button for about a second; a pop-up menu will appear with both Delete and Archive options available. This works when viewing an individual message as well as when performing an archive or delete operation on multiple messages. Of course, this won't work if the messages you're working with are already in your iCloud Archive or Gmail All Mail folder, and sadly it also isn't available for other types of Mail accounts—even if you have an Archive folder in your mailbox.
Quickly accessing Drafts in Mail
You're probably already aware that you can save any partially-composed e-mail messages as drafts in the iOS Mail app—these messages go to a "Drafts" folder on your device and you can find them there simply by accessing it via your folder list. However, iOS 6 adds a cool new hidden feature that allows you to access any of your draft messages more quickly, right when composing a new message. Simply tap and hold on the Compose button in the bottom right of the Mail app and a quick list of all available drafts in your mailbox will appear, along with a button at the top to create a new message should you choose to do that instead. You can even swipe-to-delete from here to remove any drafts that you no longer need.
Temporary Location Sharing in Find My Friends
Apple's Find My Friends is a useful app for sharing your location with close friends and family members, but it can also be used for temporarily sharing your location with groups of people that you may not want tracking for on a normal basis, such as when travelling with friends or coordinating a meetup somewhere.
To share your location temporarily, simply download and install the Find My Friends app, sign in with your Apple ID and password and then choose the "Temporary" button from the bottom menu bar. From here you can add the addresses of your temporary sharing group and specify when you want location sharing with this group to end. You can even setup more than one temporary location sharing group, and as an added bonus, Find My Friends provides quick links for sending an iMessage to the entire group. When an event expires, it will simply disappear from the list, along with any users who were added as part of that group.
Turning off Location Data Collection in Google Maps
- December 13, 2012
- Apps + Games, iPhone, iPod,
The long-awaited Google Maps has finally arrived for the iPhone and iPod touch. Like most of Google's "free" apps, however, it comes with the price of encouraging you to offer up your location data to Google in exchange for access to the company's excellent mapping service. While Google Maps should prompt you on first run as to whether or not you want to participate, if you missed that screen in your rush to get right into the app and explore, you may have a hard time figuring out exactly where the option is afterward. The good news is that the option is still in the app, however Google seems to have buried it in a pretty obscure location that most users may find challenging to locate.
To turn off Location Data Collection in the new Google Maps app, first go into the application's settings by selecting your user profile via the small person icon in the top-right corner of the main screen followed by the gear icon that appears in its place on the user profile screen. From here, you need to go into About, terms & privacy and then one more level down from there into Terms & privacy, where the Location data collection option will appear.
Using a stronger passcode on your iOS device
By now most iPhone, iPad and iPod touch users are probably aware that you can configure a four-digit passcode on your device to protect it from unauthorized access. For more security-conscious users, however, iOS also provides the ability to use a longer, alphanumeric passcode. To set this up, simply go into the Settings app, and select General, Passcode Lock and toggle OFF the Simple Passcode option. When entering a new passcode, you will be presented with the standard iOS alphanumeric keyboard instead of the simple numeric PIN pad, both for setting your passcode and for unlocking it when you access your device.
Receiving Message Notifications from only your Contacts
For certain services iOS 6 now allows you to restrict your alerts to only users that are already in your contact list. By default, new Messages, Game Center requests and Shared Photo Stream alerts will appear whenever anybody sends you a request or invitation using any of those services, however if you find yourself getting bombarded with alerts from total strangers you can easily turn these off now with a quick trip over to the Notifications section in your Settings app. Simply choose the appropriate service—Messages, Photos and Game Center all support this feature—and scroll down and choose "My Contacts Only" under the Show ... Alerts from heading. Note that this will not prevent you from receiving messages from any other user—they'll still be in the appropriate apps waiting for you—but you won't receive an alert unless the sender is already in your iOS Contacts.
Using Do Not Disturb in iOS 6
The iPhone has generally taken a very straightforward approach to handling alerts, eschewing complicated schedule and profile setups in favour of a simple hardware Ring/Silent switch, a practice also somewhat followed with the iPad. The idea here is simple: Leave the switch in the "ring" position when you want to hear sounds and move it to the "silent" position when you want alerts to either vibrate or make no sound at all. Unfortunately, while easy this approach has had its limitations: Even in "silent' mode your iPhone will vibrate in most cases, and the screen will light up when notifications and alerts come in. In iOS 6 Apple has addressed this by creating a true "Do Not Disturb" feature that can be toggled on demand and/or set to a daily schedule. At its most basic, turning on Do Not Disturb is simply a matter of going into your iPhone Settings app and toggling the option found there. When enabled, your device will suppress all alert notifications—sounds, vibrations and screen illumination—whenever the screen is already off; calls will be sent directly and quietly to voicemail and notification messages will stack up on the lock screen without waking up your device's screen. By taking a quick trip into your Settings app and selecting Notifications, Do Not Disturb, you can also configure your iPhone to automatically enable this mode based on a daily schedule and determine which phone calls will still be permitted to ring through.
Note that alarms set in the Clock app will still sound even when Do Not Disturb is enabled. Also, notifications and phone calls are handled normally when you're actually using your device (i.e. if the screen is on), regardless of the Do Not Disturb setting.
Enabling Parental Controls in iBooks
With the release of iOS 6, Apple has expanded its parental controls feature to encompass iBooks content, albeit in a more limited fashion than for other types of content. While a mandatory rating system does not exist for books, options can be found under Settings, General, Restrictions to disable access to the iBookstore entirely or simply prevent the downloading of books containing explicit sexual content. The first option allows access to the iBooks app for reading existing content while preventing users from purchasing or downloading any new iBooks directly on their device. Disabling explicit sexual content will disallow purchasing, previewing and sharing any books marked as containing explicitly sexual content—the buy and sample buttons will be disabled, no sharing link will appear, and a generic book image will be displayed in the iBookstore rather than the original book's cover image. With iBooks 2.2 and higher these controls will also hide any explicit books already stored on the device.
Reordering iOS Calendars
Although iOS 6 still doesn't allow you to reorder the individual calendars on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch directly, there is a handy workaround if you're syncing with iCloud. Simply log into your account on the iCloud web site at http://www.icloud.com and select your Calendar from the list of options that appear. In the web-based calendar list you will be able to drag and drop calendars to reorder them and changes made here will propagate to your iOS devices. If you're using OS X Mountain Lion you can do the same thing from the Calendars app, but OS X Lion users will likely find that changes to the calendar order in iCal don't always sync to your device properly, so doing this from the iCloud.com web calendar is generally the more reliable option. Further, this is the only option available to Windows users, as the calendar ordering in Microsoft Outlook does not sync to iCloud at all.
Replying to Phone Calls via Messages
- November 1, 2012
- iPhone,
One of the handy new features for iPhone users in iOS 6 is the ability to decline an incoming phone call while replying to the caller with a text message or iMessage such as "I'll call you later." When a call is coming in, simply swipe up from the bottom-right corner, tap Reply with Message and then choose from one of three pre-defined messages for a quick reply or tap "Custom" to write a custom message on the spot. You can also pre-define any of the three static messages yourself by going into your Settings app, and selecting Phone, Reply with Message. Three text entry fields are displayed with the defaults in faded text—simply tap on any of the fields to enter your own pre-defined message or tap on the "X" beside an existing entry that you've already customized to clear it and return to the default message.
Limiting Cellular Data usage in iOS 6
Perhaps in part to save users from receiving frighteningly large bills for cellular data usage, Apple has traditionally limited many of iOS' higher-bandwidth features to Wi-Fi connections only. Examples of such restrictions include iCloud Photo Stream, the 50MB download limit for the iTunes and App Stores and until recently, FaceTime. In iOS 6, Apple has started to loosen some of these restrictions, allowing users to choose to allow certain services to use a cellular connection. These include iCloud Documents, iTunes (for iTunes Match and automatic store downloads), FaceTime, Passbook and Safari Reading List, and the controls to toggle cellular data off or on for each can be found both in their respective sections in the Settings app (e.g. iCloud, Safari, FaceTime) as well as in a single list under General, Cellular. Toggling the option OFF for a given service will limit it to transferring data only when a Wi-Fi connection is available. FaceTime can only be used via a cellular data connection on the iPhone 4S/5 and the third-generation or later iPad models. Also, while the main iCloud Photo Stream is still limited to Wi-Fi, Shared Photo Streams will work over a cellular data connection and cellular use can't be disabled without turning off the Shared Photo Streams feature entirely.
Note that the default setting for most of these services is ON, so you may want to double-check that they're off if you have a more limited data plan.
Hiding Purchased Books in iBooks 3
iBooks 3 introduces a new Purchased Books feature that gathers all of a user's iBooks that have been purchased from the iBookstore into a single collection for quick and easy access, allowing books not already on the device to be easily downloaded from iCloud at the tap of a finger. For users who may not want to see some or all of their purchases right in the iBooks app, however, the good news is that you can either turn this feature off entirely, or selectively hide individually purchased items from the Purchased Books collection. To disable the collection entirely, simply go into the iBooks section in your iOS Settings app and toggle off the option to Show All Purchases; the Purchased Books collection will disappear entirely, although you can still download your purchases via the iBookstore as you could in prior versions of iBooks.
On the other hand, if you simply want to hide one or more specific items from your previous purchases, you can go into your iTunes Store account, using iTunes on your computer, and hide it from the Purchased section in there. This works in much the same way as it does for apps, described in our Ask iLounge article on Deleting unwanted apps from iCloud.
Be sure to check out Instant Expert: Secrets & Features of iBooks 3 for more on this and what else is new in Apple's latest iBooks update.
Viewing download progress for iTunes Match, Podcast + iTunes U content
Apple tries to make things magically "just work" in the background, insulating users from trivial details such as download queues. When downloading content from iTunes Match or in the new standalone Podcasts and iTunes U apps, users are shown little more than basic download progress indicators which provide information on the status of individual items but not the order in which they're downloading or anything else that may be queued up in front of them. However, all of these apps are still technically downloading their content via the iTunes Store, so you actually can view the download queue simply by opening up the iTunes app on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad and looking at the Downloads section. This will show all content being downloaded in any of these three apps, alongside any music, movies or TV shows you're downloading in the iTunes app itself of course. From here you can also pause any download in progress by tapping the pause button or cancel/remove it from the download queue using a standard swipe-to-delete gesture.
