Customer Raves & Reviews
Perfect Experience
Magnetstreet had great choices for my Save the Dates. They arrived timely and were exactly like the design I chose online. They came conveniently with envelopes and were of great quality. I would definitely recommend using magnetstreet!!
Awesome magnet
Even though the final product was a bit smaller than we had anticipated, overall it was fantastic. We actually don't mind that it came out a little smaller because the colors are so vibrant, it really pops. We did use pictures and the pictures came out perfect, just how they looked online!
Wonderful Quality, Wonderful Price...and Fast!
I loved the fact that I could customize this product. There were lots of templates to choose from, all well designed. My only qualm was the size of the photos. I did have to resize my photos to fit and I wish the photo boxes were a little bigger given the size of the post cards. The size of the postcard however does make your save the date stand out from others; I have 3 other friends with similar but smaller post cards hanging on my fridge. Other than that, this product was just what I wanted for my wedding theme. And I literally received the product in a week of ordering. Fast, convenient, tasteful.
Everything and more than what I expected!
I am very pleased with my save the date magnets. The service was excellent. The staff are very caring and supportive. The products were reasonably priced and offered extra savings! The product shipped very quickly and were packaged nicely. I am extremely pleased!
Amazing Service
I was able to design our Save the Date magnets in less than half an hour without any issues or concerns regarding the lay-out, sizing and/or quality. The magnets were shipped earlier than expected and came wrapped in a gorgeous Tiffany-blue box and even had some invitation samples for us to look at. We will definitely be ordering our wedding invitations from your company. Nothing but a great experience all around! Thanks so much.

It's been about three years since I started writing this blog.
I think I'm a lot happier with WoW than I was last year. I've sort of made peace with the whole specialization issue. It's not ideal, but it's okay. It helps a lot that Protection and Retribution are very viable. Going Holy is closer to an actual choice, rather than being forced into it. Have to give Blizzard props for making that happen.
The biggest difference between now and previous years is that I am unguilded. To be honest, it's sort of nice not being in a guild. You log on, and do whatever you feel like. As well, there's something to be said for experiencing content in the proper order. I did every single quest before starting heroics. I haven't done any raids yet. But that means that I don't outgear the content yet. It's kind of nice, seeing a blue drop and realizing it's an upgrade for me rather than pure disenchant fodder. I just got to Revered rep with Wyrmrest today, and picked up multiple upgrades.
It's been really pleasant to have been able to go through the content in order, to consume it at leisure and not be rushed, rather than skipping all over the place. However, I'm coming to the end of what you can do solo and I do miss the experience of working on harder content with a team that sticks together.
I think I'm going to take a vacation from WoW for a few weeks before jumping into raiding, though. Cleanse the palate, if you will.
This past year I also tried some other MMOs. Age of Conan was terrible. Wizard 101 was quite good. If you're at all interested in a different MMO experience, give Wizard 101 a shot. The client and the first few zones are free.
Warhammer Online was decent, but I just couldn't get into it. I actually tried resubscribing a month ago to try the new tank class. Mythic has made some significant improvements. Of the five issues I identified, they've made amazing progress with the responsiveness of combat and polishing of systems like the chat interface. I still couldn't get into any of the classes, but if you were on the fence regarding WAR, you might want to take another look. Of course, I never made it past level 11, so I have no idea what endgame is like.

Third Year Mark
It's been about three years since I started writing this blog.

Not being in a guild is awesome. My old 70s are all still in my raiding guild, and I still have a lot of friends there. But my new druid main is in a guild by herself, and I'm loving it.
It's a lot of fun to pug raids, though I do sometimes call in my old guildmates if we need more people. I did a full clear of Naxx the other day with a pug. Coming together with people you've never met to fight bosses you've never seen before can feel like a real accomplishment.
I've got 3/5 tier 7 aleady, after being 80 for two weeks. It's definitely not impossible to raid without a guild.

Yeah, but to me part of the fun of raiding is working through content with the same group of people. Progressively conquering harder and harder challenges. Becoming a better team.
I could pug Naxx or whatever, but it really isn't the same as learning an instance with a guild. It's missing that "high" of guild-first kills.
Plus, I expect Uldar to step up the difficulty, and I would like to try some of the hard-mode bosses like Sarth+X. And that kind of stuff is best done with a guild.

Firstly, know that I greatly enjoy your blog and have been reading for quite some time.
Honestly, though, QQ moar about specialization and "choosing" your role. The choice is in the class for most people. Mages, Warlocks, Rogues, and Hunters don't get (and don't expect) any other options besides DPS roles.

I don't like being unguilded, it makes me feel very alone in a vast world.
That said, I understand the fun of doing things my own way. My schedule, and motivation to change it, do not fit well with my guild's raiding schedule. So I don't raid except for some VoA PUGs. I did a lot of questing early on, completely finishing every zone except Howling Fjord an Grizzly Hills. It makes everything more fun when there's lore behind the game and when an instance is more than just a source of gear.
On the subject of gear, I like the feeling of gradual upgrades that I feel that I've earned, but did not expect. In a raid I feel like I should be showered with epics just for showing up. In a heroic, epics are a bonus, they stand out. The blues stand on their own and offer steady increases in stats.
I enjoy your blog and hope you're still posting next year.

Quick note about WAR, in the December patches, Mythic has added gear rewards for RvR (world PvP) so there is a LOT more RvR going on. This is is a significant improvement imho.

I guess there is a lot to be said for being guildless, aye. Personally I'm happy in a guild that has zero requirements yet manages to clear raid content - it's sort of a friends and friends of friends only thing.
That said, guilded, you will always have to abide by certain unwritten laws etc etc. And as an officer, well.. I both envy you and I don't, I guess.
One question - are you going to seek to join a guild when you want to raid, or are you counting on pugs? The competence level of pugs seems to be very high nowadays.
- 5:57 AM, January 02, 2009
- Drazmor said...
Personally, I feel very lonely when I'm guildless, but luckily I'm in a very light guild with few requirements, so we are clearing content very gradually.

Exactly, Phog. When I rolled a paladin, we weren't in the trinity. I didn't expect to be playing a Healer, a DPS, or a Tank. I expected to be playing a paladin. The shattering of the paladin into the three roles came a long time after I first started playing.
Read some of my very first posts that go into more detail on this point.

Congrats on your three years! :)
I find it relaxing to not be in a guild sometimes. I'm an officer in my main's, but I have an alt on another server that is for all intents and purposes guildless and it's nice being able to log in an not be hit up for an instance or just bask in how quiet chat is.

Click below to hear the interview
By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
Cybersecurity experts from the federal government and around the globe have converged in Dallas, Texas for the World Wide Cybersecurity Summit.
The biggest challenge in cybersecurity faced by the world today, the Director of the initiative, Vatan Sarkissian, is "there is no dialogue, or there is very limited dialogue."
Cybersecurity cannot operate in some kind of a vacuum. So it needs various elements to come together. Not only the sectors but also all the backgrounds from academic and legal and tech, corporate, but also various countries. So this summit is bringing together 40 nations.
The key, Sarkassian told Federal News Radio, is bringing the right people to the table.
There's a disconnect on international level between the key leaders and participants. And this is a different sphere where the leaders and the participants are not just the politicians, but the corporate sector, the academic sector, the legal sector, the technology and the policy. So what this conference, this summit, is doing is bringing various permutations of experts, leaders and opinion makers together in one place to be able to create concrete mix that's on eight sectors, eight critical sectors.
Once together in the same place at the same time, said Sarkissian, "the next steps would devise a roadmap on how we can create a more resilient and a more secure infrastructure in energy, ICT, transportation, national security, essential governmental services, media and other essential sectors."
That's not to say that one roadmap will be enough. While some of the sectors share threats, not all areas face the same challenges.
There are cross-sector threats and challenges and issues, but there are also sector specific challenges. Cybersecurity can be such a complex area that it's sometimes more difficult, when you're talking on an international level, to look at something so large that concerns all the sectors, that the conversations and the mistrust can continue. Part of the aim of the summit is not only to look at the big topics, but also to look at the small what I call "low hanging fruit." What the low hanging fruit does is it begins the cooperation between various nations and countries and companies. And that way we begin this process of dialogue.
Presenters at the summit include Cybersecurity Coordinator Howard Schmidt, former Secretary of Homeland Security Tom Ridge, former Chief of Computer Crime and Intellectual Property in the Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice Scott Charney, and Melissa Hathaway, former Acting Senior Director for Cyberspace for the U.S. National Security and Homeland Security Councils.
But the World Wide Cybersecurity Summit, said Sarkissian, is about much more than presentations. It "kick starts a process of various events and projects that will continue working in each of these sectors, as well as cross-sector, to be able to not only find the challenges, also to identify the solutions per challenge, and also look at the next steps. How do we actually deploy and implement these solutions."

Selected: Potica - A truly sweet ambassador of Slovenia
Slovenian potica is one of Slovenia's original desserts. It is a pastry consisting of yeast dough and a filling which is usually made from walnut. Next to štruklji, potica is the most typical Slovenian dessert and is considered a festive dessert. For years, potica has been known all over the world, finding recognition with the help of Slovenian emigrants. Some even describe it as the ambassador of Slovenia.
It can be made with over 80 different fillings and from different types of dough. The most characteristic fillings include tarragon, honey, walnut, poppy seed, crackling, chive, lovage and cottage cheese. Below are the recipes for the walnut and tarragon potica.
Walnut potica
Ingredients for leavened dough: 1 kg flour, 30 g yeast, 3-4 yolks, 3 dl lukewarm milk, 120 g butter, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoon sugar, fat for the mould. Filling: 600-700 g walnuts, 200 g honey, 50 g sugar, 1-2 dl milk, 1 egg, grounded cinnamon, rum or home-made fruit spirit.
Prepare the dough in a warm room. Heat up the flour, sift it into a bowl and stir it together with a teaspoon of salt. Stir dissolved yeast together with a tablespoon of sugar, 2 spoons of flour and ½ dl lukewarm water or milk. Leave it in a warm place to rise. Make a hole in the middle of the flour; add whisked eggs, yeast, lukewarm melted butter and sugar, adding lukewarm milk while stirring. Beat the dough for 15 minutes or until the bubbles appear and the dough separates from the bowl. Certain types of flour may need more milk than others. Sprinkle some flour on the beaten dough, cover the dough with a cotton cloth and leave it in a warm place to rise. Crush or grind the walnuts and pour some hot sweetened milk over the walnuts. Slowly heat up the honey until it liquefies, and then add it to the walnuts; add also cinnamon. Leave the filing to cool down. Add one or two eggs to the almost cold filing and mix them thoroughly. Roll out the dough until it is ½ cm thick; spread it with the warm filing. Roll tightly; put it in a well-greased mould. The potica is then left to rise slowly, but not too much, because it will rise during the baking. Put the whisked egg on the potica before the baking. Bake time is one hour. When baked leave it in the mould to cool down for at least 15 minutes and then softly turn it over to the board. Sprinkle it with an icing sugar, if desired.
Tarragon potica
Ingredients for leavened dough: 1 kg white flour type 500, 1 cube yeast, 1 egg, 2 yolks, 150 g sugar, 150 g butter, approx 4 dl milk, salt. Filling: 2 dl double cream, 150 g butter, 150 g sugar, 2 eggs, 100 g bread crumbs, a fist of fresh tarragon leaves.
Knead the leavened dough from flour, prepared yeast, melted butter, salt, yolks, sugar and lukewarm milk. After it has rose enough, roll it until it is finger thick. Then spread the filling made out of double cream, sugar, eggs, and fried bread crumbs (use butter and cool it down a bit). Sprinkle with chopped tarragon leaves. Roll tightly. Put Tarragon Potica into a greased baking pan and leave to rise. Bake in the electric oven at approx 150 °C for 1 hour.

We start with the basics of flying by showing you how the flight controls, rudder pedals and throttles work that are connected to our computers; also an explanation of some of the instruments and how they work.
With the seven simulators you can fly different airplanes ranging from ultra-lights, single engine land and sea planes to multi-engine jets -- even the Space Shuttle!. You can even fly some of the aircraft in the Museum's collection. You can even design and test-fly your own aircraft. A recent enhancement allows simulators to be linked for simultaneous flight.
The more you come the more you can explore, practice and learn to gain confidence in your flying abilities. You can challenge those abilities by grabbing a Resource Note Book at each Simulator and fly to the Taj Mahal, Ford Island (Arizona Memorial) Eiffel Tower, Kennedy Space Center, Mount Rushmore, the Grand Canyon, the Las Vegas Strip at night, Rio De Janeiro, and wherever in the world your imagination can take you.
There is so much more so come on in and join the experience here at the New England Air Museum.

GAVIN RICH, writing in SA Rugby magazine says that while Rassie Erasmus did good work with the WP juniors this year, the senior side could have used his help too.
When Western Province were preparing to run on to the Kings Park field to play their Currie Cup final against the Sharks, Rassie Erasmus was up in the press box enquiring whether there was a comfortable suite from where he could watch the game.
Erasmus had been busy with the WP U21 team, who completed a notable clean sweep against the Blue Bulls by winning their third game of the season against those opponents in their final.
He was also closely involved with the WP U19 side, a special young team if ever there was one, through the work he puts in at the WP Rugby Institute in Stellenbosch, which makes up virtually the entire U19 team player complement.
But until the knockout phases of the Currie Cup arrived, those in the know had the understanding that Erasmus, though not as prominent at WP senior practices as he had been during the Super 14 season, still had a role to play in helping out with match-day tactics over the radio.
Erasmus clearly wasn't playing that role in the final, and it was learnt that he hadn't in the semi-final either. So when WP found themselves all at sea against the brutally efficient Sharks in the main event on finals day, it was natural to wonder why the best tactical rugby brain in the country, if not the world, was not being utilised for his main strength.
Erasmus has won two Currie Cup titles with the Free State Cheetahs, and there wasn't anyone else in the WP management who boasted Currie Cup-winning experience (Robbie Fleck as a player, but not as a coach).
When the question was asked, though, in a throwaway line in the Weekend Argus match report, all hell broke loose. A Cape Town Afrikaans tabloid tried to pick up on the story, and it set in motion a quite startling behind-the-scenes witch-hunt for the person who had 'leaked' the story.
Not that there needed to be a leak – Erasmus was sitting in the press box before the Currie Cup final for goodness sake, so give the journos some credit for being able to sometimes suss things out for themselves. And when WP were playing such dumb rugby in the second half of the final, you didn't require a degree in rugby rocket science to be able to figure out that maybe Erasmus's brain was needed.
Erasmus acknowledged as much afterwards, and the good news for Stormers fans is that he will again be playing a more prominent role in next year's Super Rugby tournament. That is not to say head coach Allister Coetzee lacks anything in ability, for he is a fine coach in his own right, but Erasmus is the genius responsible for the way the Stormers/WP have emerged as real challengers to the Bulls' longstanding South African rugby hegemony.
If you look back at the respective seasons of the Stormers and WP and go through them with a fine-tooth comb, it's easy to arrive at the assumption that while the Province coaches, who were empowered by Erasmus, have grown immeasurably, there was something the Stormers had that WP lacked.
And it went beyond the missing Springboks, or the physical edge that seemed to be less pronounced in the WP defensive game than it was in the Stormers' in the Super 14. Simply put, the Stormers just appeared cleverer.
You should expect that if you consider that the Stormers had the benefit of a core of experienced Boks, which WP didn't, but it appeared to go deeper than that.
More than anything else, what the fuss over the radio story – it did get embellished a bit after that, with Die Son going as far as to suggest there had been a change room ban on Erasmus – did was bring into focus a subject that had been simmering in the background throughout the 2010 season. Would Erasmus become jealous of Coetzee's success? Would Coetzee react badly if not given full credit for being his own man and would he become irritated with having Erasmus above him in the pecking order?
The first question can almost certainly be answered in the negative. When Erasmus was approached for interviews or engaged in conversation during the season, he was always very quick to deflect the question. He says what he gets a kick out of is not the acclaim that goes with being a successful coach, but rather the intellectual energy that goes into the business of strategising.
You can almost hear people saying, 'Ja, what a load of rubbish' when they read that, but in Erasmus's case it does appear to be true. One of those close to him has offered an acceptable explanation for Erasmus's apparent lack of ego – he achieved a high level of success as a player, and as such, he may not require the recognition and public adulation that other lesser achievers might.
With Coetzee there was no public flashpoint before what became known as 'the radio story' hit the media to suggest he was uncomfortable with Erasmus's role, but there were simmering rumours in the past two months of the season.
Some would say it's human nature, but for those who don't want to believe there might have been some tension, the passionate way Coetzee tried to deny he needed Erasmus's brain should not have sat completely comfortably.
What is important to stress, at this point, is that there has never been any secret about the differing roles that the two personalities play within the Stormers/WP set-up. When Erasmus announced he was stepping aside from the head coaching role to enable Coetzee to take the reins, he was quite clear that issues relating to strategy were still his call. He said so at a press conference and a couple of times subsequently in interviews.
Erasmus, in looking back at the Super 14 earlier in the year, made the point that he didn't believe the Stormers would have done as well in the competition had he remained as coach. He admitted to his weaknesses, particularly his discomfort when it came to dealing with the media and the flightiness that undermines his abilities as a man manager.
His main strength is strategy and the implementation of systems – and in this sense the results speak for themselves, with Province making every major final this year. The success of his much spoken-of succession planning programme shone through in the way the age-group teams dominated their competitions.
If there are tensions brewing between himself and the other coaches housed at the High Performance Centre in Bellville, Erasmus is either blissfully unaware of it, or he is determined to keep the peace for the sake of the equilibrium needed for Province to continue their current upward performance trajectory.
For him, the main thing is for 'Allister and myself to continue to get into each other's heads so that we reach a point where I don't have to interfere at all. When that happens I will feel my job is done.'
Erasmus admits there were times in the last weeks of the Currie Cup when he felt the WP senior management was making mistakes and he had been tempted to interfere.
'There have been mistakes, from them and from me. In the last four weeks of the Currie Cup there were times when things went against my sixth sense. I could have changed a few things, but I decided against it. Maybe that was a mistake on my part.
'But when the Super 14 season came to an end and I started to look ahead to what needed to be done to get WP rugby working in the direction I wanted it to go, I had to make a choice. [Former Vodacom Cup and WP U21 coach] Jerome Paarwater was redeployed to look after club rugby, and it was clear the U21s needed some guidance.
'I resolved that I would get involved with them, that it would benefit me to work closely with the players who are in line to be the next wave of WP and Stormers players. It made sense to get to know them, and to let them get to know me.
'I had to make a choice. I couldn't be half in and half out. That wouldn't have benefited anyone. So while I did continue to advise the senior team coaches in the Currie Cup, I couldn't be as involved as I'd been in the Super 14.'
Erasmus is adamant that he made the right decision, and he points to the recruitments made for next year as vindication.
'We have only made one signing from outside the province for next year, and that is CJ van der Linde. I have got to know the young talent coming through, I have worked with all of them, and I can confidently say that we don't need to recruit so much from outside. There is enough talent here; players like Danie Poolman, Nick Koster and JJ Engelbrecht all have big careers ahead of them and are ready to take the step up.
'Losing the Super 14 and Currie Cup finals was a setback for morale. I would be lying if I denied that. But we have now started to make semi-finals and finals, and that has shown everyone the benefits of the system we have in place, whereby I meet with all the coaches on a Sunday night and we plan the week together.
'Everybody [all the management] is involved in that, everyone has input and a say in how things will be done. It's my job to satisfy the commercial side of things while also having the best players within a certain budget who can win trophies for us. On the commercial side it was a big setback not to get home finals these two seasons as we lost out on R24 million. We could do with that money.
'We have the players, we have the coaches, maybe what we don't have at the moment – and this came up in our wash-up session at the end of the season – is a squad with the staying power to last 17 or 18 weeks. We lost crucial league games in the Super 14 and Currie Cup that cost us home advantage in the finals.
'I'm satisfied, though, that we have now developed the depth, with the young players coming through, that will ensure that we don't need to keep overplaying guys like Duane Vermeulen and Brok Harris. That will help us ensure that we can continue winning through rounds nine, 10, 11 and 12 and then be ready to step up again in a final.'

Toxins & Chemicals
Toxins & Chemicals
Toxins and chemicals are a huge concern in the green movement due to their detriment to the environment. Humans and animals are often exposed to these harmful substances via non-organic food (on which pesticides are used), cosmetics, plastics, aluminum and many other sources. Toxins and chemicals are thought to cause health problems, pollution and other issues.
Some of the most common household toxins include: Bisphenol A (BPA), parabens, phthalates, asbestos, lead, and perchlorate. And some of the most prevalent environmental toxins include Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), benzene, dioxins and heavy metals.

Monday felt more like early spring than mid-January, a great day for about 50 marchers to trek from downtown Burlington to the Mayco Bigelow Community Center as part of the annual Martin Luther King Jr. celebration.
"Sometimes it's a little cold," said Ann Slade Rone, one of the organizers of the event at least 10 years in the making. "But today is perfect."
The march covers about three miles, concluding at the community center where a celebration of the life of the civil rights leader is held. Marchers were escorted by police who blocked traffic intersections and generally made sure the pedestrians remained safe.
A handful of passing drivers waved. Some homeowners stepped onto the porches of their homes to speak to the marchers and thank them for what they were doing. Several choruses of "We Shall Overcome" were sung as group members proceeded down city streets.
Rone said organizers looked forward to anyone in the community joining them. Most of the marchers were black, but a handful of whites were included.
"We try to get the message out to the churches," Rone said. "White, black – everybody is welcome. Please come."
The march is sponsored by the Alamance County Chapter of the NAACP. Ernestine Lewis of the NAACP didn't participate in Monday's march, but waited with others at the community center for the group's arrival.
"It's a symbolic thing," she said. "One year it snowed, but people walked anyway."
Harold James was one of those who helped organize Monday's hike. He distributed bottles of water and assured everyone at the start of the walk that if they grew tired, all they had to do was let him know.
"A poop-out van, that we do have," James said, laughing as he spoke.
Apparently no one needed it. The marchers moved at a steady clip – the entourage stopping a few times to let stragglers catch up.
David Pulliam said he participates in the march every year. Pulliam, 77, is a Burlington resident who retired from the Air Force.
He said he was stationed in Texas for years while in the military and drove back and forth from North Carolina. Pulliam said that on his travels he stayed a time or two at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis where King was later assassinated.
"He was a great man," Pulliam said. "I do this to honor him."

I can't install Ovi since I'm behind a proxy.
Is there a complete download? not just a web download?
Or why can't I define my proxy for the installer.
Does anyone have a work around?
18-03-2009 10:14
If you are talking about Nokia OVI Suite installer,
then you can find the web installer in
and if you are not looking for ovi suite, kindly do mention, what exactly you are looking for
18-03-2009 11:11
>>I can't install Ovi since I'm behind a proxy.
The Ovi web installer, at the URL you provided, requires a web connection.
BUT does not allow you to enter your proxy settings, where I am requires all internet connection to go via the company proxy.
So since I cannot enter the proxy server, user & pass, I cannot install the product.
Ovi seems to allow you to specifiy proxy details once installed, but not during installation.
Is there a work around or a installer that does not require a web connection?

Why dont you get some OVI Suite DVD from any of your friends so that you can install ? Is there any restriction for downloading from DVDs at your place ???
10-03-2010 13:04
Are you kidding? We need a proxy solution in Ovi suite for use inside a corporation. Why don´t provide a proxy support?
10-03-2010 13:09
This is still remains.
You can download the installer, since a browser allows you to enter proxy settings.
when you run the installer it requires an internet connection, BUT if you are behind a proxy, then you are screwed. You cannot enter the settings for the proxy for the installer.
I've given up and brought an Magic (google phone).
Shame on Nokia for not even sorting this small simple issue, thus stopping me for using their phone.
10-05-2010 6:25
I had the same problem (behind proxy). I was able to install/run Ovi by disconnecting my (LAN) network cable vainly hoping there would be some settings in the application to configure for a proxy.
If I start Ovi with the LAN connected, it dies. If I start Ovi without the LAN (behind proxy) it starts OK. I can then re-connect the LAN but Ovi still only connects online through my phone costing big $$$.
Did it not occur to the designers that some people work behind a proxy? Even if we can't go online, you would expect at the very least that the application would start without crashing and have the basic capacity to work offline, with the locally connected phone.
Poor effort Nokia...really **bleep** (out-sourced?) software
19-07-2010 10:40
I connected my nokia and told it from the OVI dropdown to connect to the internet.
It then could access OVI for updates
Not super slick, but it worked
20-07-2010 4:58
Now Nokia Ovi Suite has got 188.8.131.52, in which users can give their proxy settings in Nokia Ovi Suite
Nokia Ovi Suite > Tools > Options > General > Proxy
14-09-2010 0:17
That option onyl allow to set-up the user/password for an existiong proxy server.
24-12-2010 0:09
Any news regarding this problem?
I am also behind a corporate proxy and Ovi can't connect via LAN.
09-02-2011 10:22
Correct, also in 220.127.116.110 it's only possible to set username/password.
But what about proxy name and port?
Maybe somebody from Nokia can advise. Is there a Windows registry setting that needs to be modified?
27-09-2011 15:32
I install ovi 220245 instead of newest ovi 311XXX. When I asked to online upgrade to the latest update (ovi 311xxx) from older ovi (220245),wow....I can login to my account using proxy even using proxy username & password...

Setting the IE proxy setting is not enough. You also have to set the WinHTTP proxy setting via command line.
netsh winhttp set proxy <YOUR PROXY SERVER>:<PORT> "<EXCLUSION LIST>"
note: Be sure to run cmd.exe as administrator, when you set the winhttp proxy settings!
This does not help, correct proxy credentials are still refused.

DOBBINS: Senator, in your floor speech on Justice David Souter's confirmation, you said there was "no duty of a U.S. Senator more important or deserving of careful consideration than that of a nomination to the Supreme Court." Do you still agree?
PACKWOOD: Absolutely. You could give the president his sway on cabinet appointments. It was his cabinet, it was his policy. He'd been elected. But on Supreme Court lifetime appointments — people who are going to be there 10, 20, 30 years — they're going to go way beyond the span of this president and the next president. When it's lifetime and the Supreme Court, it's hard to tell which factor weighs more, but the two of them together are colossal.
DOBBINS: What would you tell a voter who came to you and complained about a decision of the U.S. Supreme Court and said, "These are unelected individuals, they have lifetime tenure, they can do whatever they want. It's completely contrary to the philosophy of a democratic system."
PACKWOOD: I would say that's what our founders intended. They did not intend this court to reflect public opinion. They wanted to protect the court from having to reflect public opinion.
DOBBINS: So is the court a democratic entity?
PACKWOOD: I don't regard the court as a democratic entity, although it's certainly involved in the democratic process — look at the Florida election cases from 2000. There, they decided the election of a president.
DOBBINS: If the Supreme Court is not itself a democratic entity, how does the system ensure that it doesn't go off on its own? Every time there is a new nominee, one hears concern that the court has drifted off track.
PACKWOOD: I hear people say that, but by and large, over 200 years, we've had a reasonably stable court. You know if the president is a liberal, you're going to get liberal appointees. If the president is a conservative, you'll get conservative appointees. But a president might only get a couple of nominees to the court, and that will only seldomly cause the court to reverse itself. What it will do is moder ate the direction the court was going before these appointees came along. So the appointment process is like trying to turn an ocean liner around, not a laser.
DOBBINS: Should we rethink the idea of lifetime appointments to the court?
PACKWOOD: Absolutely not. The bigger this government gets and the more that Congress and the executive do, the more I want to make sure I've got a court that is not going to be swayed in any way at all by the feelings of the moment. I just want the justices to have that lifetime feeling. No matter what this government tries to do, I want to make sure that they are making sure it doesn't step beyond the bounds of what is legal.
DOBBINS: Over the course of your time in the Senate, you cast votes on 16 different Supreme Court nominees. The Constitution provides that the president shall nominate and, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, shall appoint judges to the Supreme Court. What was your understanding about the Senate's role in that process?
PACKWOOD: "Consent" means consent. It's not just the president nominates and you say, "Mr. President, I'm not sure that person is too qualified." It means more than if the president has presented James Jones to the court, and James Jones has no felony convictions, James Jones had a good practice of law, and James Jones has no record of wife beating, that he automatically, therefore, should be confirmed. I don't think that's what that clause means.
DOBBINS: So not just competence, but the philosophy of the nominee matters?
PACKWOOD: Yes. There are a thousand best persons to be on the Supreme Court. There are probably more than a thousand who would be very substantial Supreme Court justices who are competent, but it requires more than competence. I was interested in their philosophy. Even President Nixon said to me that you have to appoint people who support your philosophy. And in that case I thought it was fair for me to at least question what their philosophy is and weigh it against mine, as it was for the president.
For example, in thinking about "original intent," my hunch is that, as smart as the founders were, the idea of sending information electronically over the airwaves would have been beyond them. So there's no point in trying to say I'm only going to vote for people who will appear to be [in favor of] the original intent of the founders.
The only thing static in history is change. Gradually the whole history of civil liberties in this country is the expansion of a people who were not covered at the time of its founding. By and large, the founding applied to white males over 21, and the history from that time on was the expansion of it. Were the founders to have thought about that, would they have expanded it? Who knows? How do you know? It's more a personal decision.
DOBBINS: Would the Supreme Court look different if the House of Representatives had the responsibility for confirmation?
PACKWOOD: Possibly, in a sense. There is a great advantage to the Senate's six-year terms. You can afford to ride out some rough spots, and you know there are going to be rough spots. The founders weren't wild about direct democracy, under any circumstances — they really wanted a republic in all its forms. I gather the founders wouldn't have even envisioned a direct election of senators — it took a constitutional amendment to get to it. So they wanted to isolate the Senate from the fractures of passion and public opinion. And by giving the confirmation process to the Senate, they were deliberately intending to separate the nomination process from passion and public opinion.
At the same time, though, the Senate provides an important connection to the people. When I was in the Senate, when I would come home for two and a half months, I'd cover the state. The senators can talk with the people, and then come back to Washington and sit with the president and say, "Mr. President, you don't understand what's going on." A president just doesn't have the same opportunity to do that.
DOBBINS: It seems in the end that while individual decisions of the court can seem critically important and draw great attention, the collective value is the stability in the process.
PACKWOOD: Absolutely, and the willingness of the public to accept the stability, even when the court issues decisions they don't like.

On higher mileage vehicles, an engine misfire may develop and/or the Check Engine Light may illuminate due to a failed ignition coil. It is not uncommon to replace all the coils when the first one fails in order to prevent return trips to the repair shop.

Newest 1999 Lexus RX300 Problem Reports
The front suspension might make noise when going over bumps or rough roads. The support bushing for the suspension commonly needs to be replaced to correct this concern.
Intermittent failure of the purge control valve in the evaporative emissions (EVAP) system may cause the Check Engine Light light to illuminate.
The Check Engine Light may illuminate because the mass air flow sensor sends incorrect information to the engine control computer. This can cause a loss of power on acceleration. A failed mass air flow sensor will require replacement.
The Check Engine Light may come on because a component of the oxygen sensor stops working. Replacement of the failed sensor should correct this concern.
Debris can get into the idle air control valve. This will restrict the air flow into the engine, causing idle speed and/or stalling when cold. The valve can be cleaned or replaced to correct this concern.
Sludge can build up in the engine because Lexus did not recommend frequent enough oil changes. Lexus will sometimes offer a discount on cleaning the engine if necessary. Owners who changed their oil every 3,000 miles did not experience these problems. This sludge build up can lead to excessive oil consumption.

Yesterday after work I headed over to the east side of town to tutor some middle schoolers. As I've gotten into the habit of browsing PC on my phone while on the bus, I ended up doing that... but kind of forgot my commute to there is way shorter than to work? So I took the bus like six blocks too far. I could have waited for the bus going the other direction but it was nice out so I decided to walk. And hit up the Diary Queen, because ice cream is great.
So I was just chilling waiting

BTW. EGOD ( Evil Groove of Doom ) and SFH ( Scallops from Hell ) were unusual tire wear patterns that occurred on BFG DOT tires. Purely due to design errors that BFG never really admitted. ( well they did after most of their engineers left to work for Kumho ).
Our car club ( VCMC ) has close sponsorship tie-ins with Kumho. We got to talk to the chief Kumho race tire engineer at our yearly end banquet and got a preview of the V710, long before they went "public" in 2003.
Can't remember the guys name now...but he was an ex-BFG Tire Engineer. He was very forth coming and held us spellbound like kindergarten kids being read Hansel and Gretel.
The Kumho V700 carcass was a direct copy of the first generation BFG R1 ( 206 compound ). Kumho had to get something up and running fast, and the 1st gen BFG R1 was the best carcass that the BFG engineers felt that they ever built. The later asymmetrical designs were the an admitted disaster ( see EGOD and SFH )....by the engineers themselves!! The 1st gen BFG tire was a favorite of many experienced drivers and no wonder that the V700 VictoRacer felt exactly the same as the original R1. The carcass and the compounds used on the V700 VictoRacer were virtually identical to the 1st gen R1...only the tread pattern was changed so that BFG couldn't sue them!!
The V710 incorporated new compounds and carcass revisions developed since the the original R1 design. Part of the design criteria was that the tire must outperform the V700 in every aspect. Overall grip, hot and cold performance, adaptability to different surfaces, and and a product life that was consistent and cost effective to the average racer. One thing Kumho would not compromise on was the "feel" of the tire. That they wanted to be the same as the original design...built way back in the late 1980's.

Videos uploaded here should only be about zines. Not about the stuff that you write about in your zine, but about zines themselves If you see ones that aren't like that, it's just because I haven't gotten to them yet.
You are welcome to link or embed your Youtube or Vimeo videos in your blog or in a status update.
Thank you!
We Make Zines is an online community for zine makers and readers. Although there are many social networking sites out there, there is little that focuses on zines. We all have our facebooks or blogs, but those accounts are filled with friends from work, from the third grade, people who don't know what a zine is and some who probably don't care.
This space creates a place that focuses on the zines. I want this place to be less about personality and friends and more about the zines - what we produce and read.
You can create a profile, list your zineography, post images of zines, partake in the forums, find other zine writers, read about new releases, read reviews from your favorite zine writers and leave comments about the zine you just read on the actual zinesters profile.
You can modify your page how you want. You just move the components around on your page to make them how you want them.
Use this space to connect, report, review and tell us about new stuff. Do keep in mind, however, that posting about the same thing repeatedly will be considered spam and not accepted. Members who do this will be banned.
Almost all of the content in this site is open to the public. You can read it all without needing to create a profile. Profiles that have been inactive for over a year may be deleted.
Please read and follow these guidelines while you're on We Make Zines.

Users of this substitution implicitly construe truthfulness ('honest') as a burden ('onus'). Examples-
Again the honest is on the Hampton's to prove their assertion, while the opposite may be taken by the Sen.'s spouse …
www.lasvegassun.com/.../state-gop-ensig … defenders/
Now the honest is on you to answer some of the question fellow forumers asked.
Also the honest is on you to watch what you eat and drink, but we will give you the tools and advices you need to conquer that.
Now he wants to put the honest on Michael to prove Sonny guilt when he had the proof and he threw it away.
I'd recommend you put the honest on the supplier. You should be able to get a half decent kit in the $800 – $1500 CDN range …
Ooooooh. Delicious. The sense of the majority of these is "burden of proof".
Alsothe honorous task of formulating the national Constitution. ...
The Zeus sanctuary in Olympia was given the honorous task of appointing a pertinent committee
... to Duna Troiani who took on the honorous task of formating the book
... I have a soft spot for the Pawnee despite having been given the honorous task of washing out that hopper
the honorous task of writing a program that will identify incoming calls as either a fax or a regular modem call
On the plain in Spain where it mainly rains.
I like that the first few of JuanTwoThree's examples are actually onerous honors…
....those web sites were constantly changing, making the updating of urls ownerous….
....it would have to be fair and reasonable otherwise subs are not going to bid if it is too ownerous…......the government having the power to prevent me from flying or driving or puting ownerous restrictions on it…
Certainly there are cases where being an owner carries onerous duties…
The / is honest to keep track of them all. (As opposed to the .)
(Unfortunately, the only case I have of "the onus is honest to VerbPhrase" is from a dubious source—the guy is the type that might have done it on purpose.)
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,

Here's a bummer malaprop.
Wherever you go it's the same thing, particularly with free trials etc, you have to give card details to get the trial and then the anus is on you to cancel to stop them
perhaps the anus is on us to try and learn to speak there language.
I hope they get some video of the attack because the anus will be on Nestor to explain why that was not assault.

Pat's dictum that if you can think of it you can probably find it, strikes again.
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
My motives are honest, noble even, though onerous.
The following are the clauses usually contained in a disposition for the purpose of conveying heritable property :
1. The narrative or inductive clause in which the names of the disponer and disponee are set forth, the cause of granting the deed is stated, and the receipt of the price or consideration is acknowledged if the conveyance has been for an onerous causa.
Then, the deed continues, -"Therefore, and for the love, kindness, and respect we bear to the said town of Stirling, and other onerous causes moving us, wit ye us to have sold, annailzied and disponed," &c. In the interlocutor of 1829, in the other process, I see Lord Corchouse thinks it is presumable that this was an ordinary sale, if I understand rightly the use made in that interlocutor of the term onerous causes. I venture to doubt this. There might be in the transaction other matters denominated onerous causes, passing in arrangements between the town and the Earl; but I own this does not convey to my mind the notion of an ordinary sale.
Glossary: ANNALZIE, ANNAILZIE, v. Sc. law (obs.): to sell or alienate (property). ["Unexplained variant of alien, regular in Sc. use throughout the 15th and 16th cent." D.O.S.T.]
Dispone, (Scots Law) To make over, or convey, legally.
Note: these I take to be eggcorns of honoris causa, "for the sake of the honour".

Swift Meat Packing Company Card, about 1914
In a time when most people bought meat from a local butcher, Gustav Swift sought to change the marketplace by developing a system of national packaged meat. In one effort to promote its products, the Swift Meat Packing Company of Chicago gave away celluloid (plastic) cards with a calendar on one side and an ad on the reverse. The advertisement reinforced the virtues of Swift meat, it pictured a healthy child holding a piece of government inspected ham.

Last chance to take part in our hot glass Master Classes this year.
There is still some limited funding available.
To apply, click here and fill in the form
Contact Grace on 01593721229 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information
Two of this year's Classes use hot glass techniques: 'The Unique Genius Loci of the Space' with Petr Stanicky runs 27th August – 4th September. 'Are You Experienced?' with Richard William Wheater runs 9th September – 17th September.
Compared to many glass techniques, what can be achieved in the Hot Shop using molten furnace glass is fast and rewarding. By working hands on or collaboratively with skilled glassmakers, small experiments with processes can lead to big ideas. Having gained some knowledge it's possible to direct a skilled maker to make your work in an informed way, becoming more involved in the process. An intensive class enables you to explore the potential of techniques such as free blowing, solid forming, mould blowing, picking up and pouring or possibly combining materials and techniques with your own specialisations. You can work independently and pool resources, expand your skills, knowledge and apply it to your work.
This year we also bring neon into the Hot Shop and an opportunity to create and document work in the landscape with a focus on understanding sculpture through process and place.
We asked Richard and Petr, from the point of view of a participant, to tell us more about what they plan to do in the Hot Shop at North Lands Creative Glass.
(Q – question, R: Richard, P: Petr)
Q: Normally neon shapes are flame worked over a burner. What would be the difference in adding neon to forms made from blown furnace glass?
R: The diameter of glass significantly affects the physical appearance of neon light. Blown forms often contain various diameters and glass wall thickness, providing a less clinical aesthetic to that of flame-worked tubular glass.
Q: As a participant will I learn how neon works? Is it easy to get access to if I want to continue? Is it expensive?
R: Access-wise for the UK, Neon Workshops is the only place I'm aware of that hires out its neon facility, though some University glass departments may have flame-working facilities that would enable a form to be made before sending to Neon Workshops for processing.AA2AC is a good resource for assisting artists with gaining access and offering financial support to use such facilities.
Q: I want to participate in the class to see what can be achieved by pooling resources working as a group, but can I still take a piece of glasswork away with me?
R: If you want to take a working piece of neon away from the workshop then this can certainly be achieved.
Q: How will the class document the work?
R: Photography/video through using your phone or something more dedicated.
(Richard will also be working with a photographer and assistant through stages of the class.)
Q: Normally neon is fixed to a location but with a mobile unit can we go to a specific location and install a work?
R: Yes, there will be two mobile hand-held electric generators, as well as special neon power supplies* that can be connected to a 9-12V battery.
*these can be loaned during the workshop and will be available for sale afterwards.
Q: Will I learn about form and coloured light?
R: Yes, absolutely!
Q: What advantages are there to working in a group?
R: There is an appealing energy from a group which can be unattainable in an individual. There are also the practical reasons such as someone asking an interesting question that another may not have thought of, but becomes inspired by the answer.
Q: I've never worked with neon or blown glass could I be part of this class?
R: Few have worked in such a niche discipline as neon, inexperience is the norm and will not restrict your workshop achievements.
Q: Will I be shown processes through demonstrations?
P: Yes that will be possible. In this workshop we can help participants find processes which work with their ideas such as blowing, hot forming or pouring into sand. But this is not a class about learning specific techniques. It's about exploring hot glass in this particular time and place.
Q: Can I spend time experimenting with furnace glass?
P: Yes this is a great opportunity to try new things, respond to the place and material and to find new directions.
Q: Can I use the hot glass if I'm a beginner?
P: Yes you can make small things yourself in this amount of time; get a feel for the material.
(James Maskrey is a very experienced glass blower who will gaffer for the class and help participants to realise ideas.)
Q: Can I make moulds to form blown or poured glass and will I be taught this as part of the class?
P: In this amount of time it would be possible to try perhaps blowing into a simply constructed wooden mould or into sand.
Q: How will I develop work?
P: Finding freedom and an intuitive response are important. You can develop work through drawing and model making and experimenting with process.
Q: How much will discussion time feature in the class?
P: I think it's important to ask questions and answer them yourself, to be intuitive with your work and not spend too much time discussing. The advantage of being in a group is that you can learn from each other.
Q: Can I combine materials or other types of glass? If so what's available?
P: The basic materials, clay, plaster, some sheet glass and things you find in the area. We are responding to this place, the space, light, environment and glass. The idea is to open new paths for an artists work.
