Is Game Center capped at 500 friends?
Game Center, Apple's new live gaming network for iOS, seems to be capped at roughly 500 friends per account. A few days ago, after reaching 501, my account stopped receiving new friend requests. I didn't notice at first since I'd turned off popups and trumpets, and assumed it would slow down after the initial iOS 4.1 launch rush.
Then I saw this tweet from MuscleNerd:
So much for my not-so-secret plan to break GameCenter! They're capping my friend count at around 500 (as soon as I delete 1, I get 1 new request)
I tested this out and experienced the same thing. And since it seems like they're not just capping friends but friend requests at 500, if you get an addition 100 requests, you'll never see them. If you remove one, you get just 1 more request, so you can't even see the others and choose the one who may be your best gaming buddy ever.
This likely won't affect day to day use for most people but it's something to keep in mind. I'm curious as to what happens when you get a 502, 503, etc. friend request though. Do they just think you're ignoring them? Are they told your Game box is full?
If Steve Jobs signed up tomorrow, Apple has to know he'd get more than 500 friend requests so hopefully this is a temporary limitation and it will be given the ability to scale pronto.

Is Game Center capped at 500 friends?
we live in hope, i was saying that for ios4 ! ! !
What's a 'Game Center'?
Better than opened with an unlimited number and crashed ... sounds familiar?
Oh Rene you're so popular.
You completed several nice points there. I did a search on the topic and found the majority of people will go along with with your blog.
Pretty great post. I simply stumbled upon your weblog and wished to mention that I've really enjoyed surfing around your blog posts. In any case I'll be subscribing for your rss feed and I am hoping you write once more soon!

To daydream is to leave your body behind and take your mind on Hollywood-type adventures, many of which have you starring as the superhero, and saving earth while racing superfast superbikes, proceeded by a relaxing spa session - all in a dreams work! This Groupon can make at least one dream come true. Take your other half and unwind with a sauna and spa bath session and relaxing back massage at Youtopia Health & Wellness for only R225.
Now that one of your dreams has come true, take a load off because being a superhero is hard work. Youtopia therapists will relieve your bodies of stresses and strains while you daydream about a lot of nothing (or the next way to save the planet). You may find yourself at a loss for words and mumbling things like 'hmmm, aha, um, hmmm'. These are common sounds of relaxation and are accompanied by feelings of harmony and total contentment.
At Youtopia Health & Wellness your first stop on the road to relaxation is the sauna room where your pores unclog and your mind unwinds. The whole sauna affair is a comfortably sweaty one but one that boasts benefits far beyond a simple relaxation session. It helps to eliminate toxins, increase blood circulation, relax the muscles and aid in the distribution of oxygen.
Your next stop is a spa bath where you and your spouse will cool off while loosening up even more. Spa bath bubbles will sooth your mind and muscles. The Romans used baths as a form of socializing so it's the perfect tool for you and your hubby or wife to reconnect. By the time you leave the spa bath you may find yourselves sprawled on the floor with contentment and not a care in the universe. Your naturally tranquilized body will feel like it's floating on a pink cloud of happiness while you make your way to the bed for your relaxing back massage.
A couple's back massage is the perfect opportunity for you to mumble to each other with a common understanding that it's all you can manage to say, and don't care to say much more. It's therapy in more ways than one.
Youtopia therapists are extremely professional and qualified to deliver excellent spa treatments. They understand that when you step through their doors, you need to be treated with gentle care and exorcised of tension. Youtopia Health & Wellness Centre goes by the motto of 'an ideal balance in life', and they deliver just that.
The Youtopia spa environment is tranquil and provides a peaceful setting away from the everyday life. It's a holiday, just without the ridiculous airfare and fear of flying. It's the perfect place to dream about flying your superfast jet to your private island and treating yourself to some rest and relaxation.
Sauna fact: It is recommended that you take a seashell into a sauna with you. Lie down, put the shell to your ear and listen to the ocean. You'll get the whole Mauritius effect, minus the sand in your shorts.

You are hereOne-Pocket: My Favorite Pool Game
One-Pocket: My Favorite Pool Game
Play One-Pocket: Improve All of Your Pool Games
It's been described as the toughest and most complex of the pool games. It has also been described as being as exciting as watching paint dry. To those who appreciate the challenge and subtleties of One-Pocket however, there's nothing boring about it. To me, it's the best (and most interesting) of the games. So, what's so great about it? After-all the premise is so simple... each player has a single hole (one of the corner pockets at the racking end of the table) in which to make a total of 8 balls (any balls in any order).
If I had to narrow it down to a single answer, I think it would have to be the number of variables in each shot. In 9-Ball for instance, the number of choices are usually fairly limited: shoot the lowest numbered ball and play position for the next ball or play safe. In One-Pocket a single shot often involves moving a ball (or balls) toward your own pocket and at the same time moving ball(s) away from your opponent's hole. This could represent a winning or losing shot depending on your decision, the execution and your opponent's banking skills. What would make it a good shot is succeeding at getting balls in front of your hole and leave your opponent without an offensive shot. To take this a step farther, it becomes a great shot when you leave object balls above and below your pocket and whitey frozen behind some other object ball: a trap that often takes a creative and equally great shot for your opponent to survive.
The more things that can be accomplished with each shot, the closer you are to forcing an error. Try this: think of each separate goal as it's own shot. If you can make 2, 3 or even 4 "shots" each time you strike the cue ball and your opponent generally only makes 1 or 2... well, after just a few innings the table can be arranged seriously in your favor. At this point a single error on his part can be a game loser. The key to good One-Pocket is definitely cue ball control. Losing control of it is often disastrous: the pool gods rarely favor those who let loose of the cue ball or take ill-advised risks. Difficult reverse banks and multi-rail shots are common but if you can't keep track of the rock it's often a losing proposition. Even if you've carefully moved and spread the balls by your pocket, losing control of whitey by only fractions of an inch, might permit an easy bank and turn the tide against you. At its finest, it's a game of good planning, creative thinking and precision execution. What do you think... would improving these skills help your other games?
A very cool thing about One-Pocket is that it can be more easily handicapped than say, 9-Ball. This allows players of very different skill levels to compete. A friend of mine, an "A" player matched up in 9-Ball with a top road player and was given the 3 ball out (make any ball after the 2 wins) in a race to 7 for $500. Then the out-of-towner proceeded to break and run 6 consecutive racks. If you don't happen to be a run-out player, what is the right spot from someone who is? Regardless of the handicap, if your opponent can run multiple racks and finally makes an error and you are unable to return the favor it's a losing proposition.
I started playing One-Pocket in 1997. A strong local player would give me 10-4 (he needed ten balls to my four). He won so often, when he would ask me to play I would respond: "Why? Are your utility bills due?" (I was embarrassed to ask for more weight, lol.) Over time the spot went to 12-8 and more recently to even on my breaks and 9-8 on his.
Anything done well can be really beautiful. One-Pocket and billiards in general is no exception. Moving balls into advantageous positions and watching whitey roll sweetly and snuggle up behind a cluster of balls: it just doesn't get any better. Uh, well, maybe it gets a little better to see that superior player shake his head over and over as he discards one risky response option after another.
I love the game (both to play and watch). It is popular in many areas and is often preferred by top players for gambling match-ups. The rules are simple and can be found at: One-Pocket Rules. Beyond the basics there are common "moves" that most experienced players know, as well as some risk management issues regarding shot selection that are worth giving some thought to. I advise finding an experienced player who will play cheap to start the learning process. You could also get a match on DVD or check around for an online video and see how the game should be played.
One-Pocket has been described as chess on a pool table. This makes even a generally superior player at a disadvantage (or at least on even footing) in a match with someone who thinks and plans better and manages risk well. Not being a great shot-maker myself, I like that it's possible to still be a contender if I can out-think my opponent.

green bell pepper - halved, seeded, and stem removed
red bell pepper - halved, seeded, and stem removed
yellow bell pepper - halved, seeded, and stem removed
1 tablespoon
2 tablespoons
olive oil
green onions, sliced
4 cloves
garlic, minced
skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1 teaspoon
ground cumin
1 cup
1 (16 ounce) can
chicken broth
3 tablespoons
Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon
olive oil
1 teaspoon
portobello mushrooms, thinly sliced
green onion, thinly sliced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
We really liked this. I gave it 4 stars because the peppers were undercooked. I would advise boiling the peppers for 5 minutes instead of baking them for 10.
It was pretty dry. If one were to reduce; half cup marsala wine mixed with a cup of chicken broth, a pinch of corn starch, a pinch of chicken boullion and add a cup of heavy cream then drizzle over the bell peppers it would give it more depth as well as take its flavor profile to a greater height!

These were delish! My kids and husband loved them. I gave 4 stars because I added red pepper flakes to the recipe to make it a little spicy.
I used a different pasta, but it still turned out fine. My fiance liked it.
Not a fan of stuffed peppers, I was looking for something different than the usual beef/rice/tomato sauce version when I found this. A-MAZING!!!! My husband, who is not particularly a fan of veggies, has claimed this to be in his top ten list of dinner selections now. The only thing I would change is the amount of green onions; I increased from two to four and one to two, along with the mushrooms...2 is not nearly enough! But that could be because I love them. All in all...I was SOOO happy with these! I can't wait to make them again!
There were really good! This was my first time making stuffed peppers because they always seemed so complicated. I was really pleased with the results. My filling seemed to be lacking something, though. I took the advice of other posters and boiled the peppers first.
Really good!
So easy and full of flavor! Can't wait to make this one again!

Rolland "Joe" Correll was a former Liberty High School basketball star working at Bethlehem Steel when he was drafted during World War II.
Several days after D-Day, June 6, 1944, he hit the Normandy beach as a 19-year-old Army corporal with the 9th Infantry Division, the "Go-Devils." They fought their way across the Cherbourg peninsula and turned toward Paris.
On this Memorial Day, Correll, now 80 and living in south Allentown, remembers his experiences in combat and as a prisoner of war. His story begins with what happened when American planes came to bomb the Germans as the GIs headed toward the town of St. Lo. It was July 25.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * * * * *
When the bombing started, I was camped in an apple orchard. The ground vibrated and shook. More and more bombs dropped. Green apples fell from the trees.
Our planes were so high you had to strain your eyes to spot them. The lead plane had dropped smoke bombs to indicate to the other planes where to drop their bombs.
The bombing lasted for the better part of the morning. Then word came back to us that a lot of our troops had been caught up in it. A shift in the wind had blown the smoke target across our front lines, and the bombs fell on our own men. Those guys didn't stand a chance.
I guess a guardian angel was with me. The day before, I was up there on the front. We were relieved by another regiment and sent back about 1,000 yards to the rear.
Now our outfit, Company A of the 60th Infantry Regiment, was sent back up again. We had to walk through all the dead and wounded from our own bombings.
From a distance, they looked like mannequins. Up close, I saw blood coming out of their ears, eyes, noses and mouths. It was from the concussions.
Into the hedgerows
After we landed on Utah Beach, we were led single file toward the front. I was a rifleman, but a captain told me he didn't need riflemen, so I was given a .30-caliber machine gun and carried the 37-pound barrel. My assistant carried the tripod, plus I had two ammunition bearers. We got orders to advance to the next hedgerow and dig in.
A veteran of the African Campaign volunteered to be point man, even though he had just recovered from the wounds he'd received there. Here, as he slithered over the hedgerow, he got only a few yards and was cut down by a German burp gun, a machine pistol. He called for help. We put down all the firepower we had, and a medic along with myself and a few others crawled to him on our stomachs.
We managed to drag him back and over the hedgerow to safety. I saw his intestines, bluish-gray matter, oozing out of his stomach and pushed them back in. We got him bandaged well enough to be transported to the rear.
It was my first day of many small battles in the hedgerows.
On a night mission, our platoon of about 40 men moved silently up a small creek. We went onto a dirt road just wide enough for a horse wagon.
Eventually we stopped and dropped to the ground to rest. Quiet was the word. No smoking. As I lay back on my backpack, I noticed I was under a wooden gate. I could see the stars.
While I was looking up, I saw a German helmet appear. A German soldier leaned over the top of the gate and said, "Was ist los?"
I froze. The soldier opposite me fired. A lick of flame flew past me, and the German slumped over the gate. He was dead.

The Great Eco-Friendly Giveaway Has Arrived!
The giveaway has been suspended due to the fact that several people were attempting to rig the results with up to 5 or 6 different email addresses even though it was specified that you could only enter once. Due to IP tracking, we could see that the same people were using multiple email addresses and made-up names to try to get extra entries, and because that would not be fair to the legitimate entries, the giveaway has been suspended until further notice.
You know what they say – a few bad apples . The contest will be relaunched next week in a way to prevent this type of thing from happening, sorry for any inconvenience, but I am sure the people who legitimately entered can appreciate that the contest was being rigged and not in their favor.

I've been a reading since around January of 2008. I'm a huge fan of the topics covered and the tone of the posts. If I were to win, I'd love one of the Act2 bags. After reading your review of them a while back, I checked out their site and fell in love with their stuff. I emailed the company to ask if they'd consider making a lunch bag, too.
Thanks for the contest!
I just found your blog for the first time today! Lucky for me to run across this super giveaway. If I could choose something, I would love the Envirosax bag! Thanks so much.
I have been reading for a couple of months via RSS. Your review of products are usually spot on. I would love a Baggu bag, I can't count the number of times I stop somewhere and would like to have a reusable bag so people don't give me a funny look when I tell them I don't want a bag. That would come in handy.
I am a new reader…just about 2 months. This post has been a fabulous resource in itself since I have been searching for paraben free cosmetics and soaps that don't cost and arm and a leg. Thank for all the great information! I would love the gift certificate to Affordable Mineral Makeup or the Yes to Carrots…haven't tried either yet but will definately be visting them online.
What a lovely set of giveaways! How awesome! I thought the first pics were actually cookies and juice which I thought was a really strange giveaway for this blog. LOL!
Hey this is awesome! It's always so cool when companies do grassroots giveaways and give us the chance to discover something new and green on the cheap.
I'd really love to try either Yes to Carrots or the Envirosax bag.
Thanks for putting all the wonderfulness together.
Just found your site today. I was trying to figure out how long it takes glass to disintegrate. (I'm a 7th grade Science teacher.)
I think all the prizes are awesome, but I really did the messenger bag made from recycled plastic bottles. A teacher can never have enough bags.
Also, I'm adding a link to your page on my website! Thanks!
I've been reading you for a little over a year now. If I win, I'd really like just about anything, but the Mineral Makeup would be wonderful since that is one thing I haven't yet 'greened' to my standards:) Thank you!
I have just started reading last month.
you have so many great prives. if i won i would lovve either the Organic, all-natural Shampoo, Conditioner and Body Gel Yes To Carrots or the Bamboo bag from Envirosax.
I've been reading your RSS for a couple months. I believe I found you through No Impact Man. Love the blog, keep up the good work. I'd be thrilled if I won the Yes to Carrots products or any of the bags.
Conveniently enough, I just discovered your site a few days ago thanks to a link made available at Frugal Dad to the article about recycling shipping containers to be used as homes for low-income people. Glad I found you. I've been VERY impressed so far. Keep up the good work.
Were I given a choice, I suppose I'd choose the organic shampoo, conditioner, and body gel from Yes to Carrots. I'm sure my wife would love it. I'd be a nice surprise gift I think.
I have been reading your site for a while. It is wonderful to have something to make you realize how easy it really can be to make a difference.
Nice array of prizes for this giveaway. I followed you here from Frugal Dad, and will poke about a bit. I may link to this post. Will let you know if I do.
I've been reading for at least a few months now and I love all your green ideas and info. Your product reviews are very helpful too. Keep up the good work! If I win I'd love the Way Basics runner or a Baggu bag. Check out my blog at coriandthegirls.livejournal.com
for my no-poo ball recipe.
i've been following since around june, via twitter. this site has so many great recommendations – especially the little things that are easy to integrate into every day life.
if i were to win, i'd love the maggie's socks, or the Baggu bags – bringing our own bags to our local store gives us the chance not only to cut down on our waste, but we donate our 5 cents per bag back to the local farmers in our county.
This is an amazing set of giveaways! I must say that I love the Yes to Carrots line and could always use more of that. . . Here's to crossing my fingers for a win.
I actually just stumbled on your website looking for bleach alternatives–but I am in love!!
You have a great list of prizes!! and if I won, I would choose either the bamboo bag or the messenger bag…
GREAT website–thank you so much!!
I am a brand new reader of your blog and it's wonderful. I'm getting 'greener' by the day and your site has lots of neat ideas to help me along.
I would choose the messenger bag made of recycled plastic bottles or the Yes To Carrots products!
I love the table runner! I am using an old, found fold out table as my dining room table. This sure would improve the looks of it!
I just found your site today, and I'll be coming back again!
Thanks for the tips.
I've been reading for about a month or so. Mostly following you from Twitter.

I can't remember for sure how long I've been reading, but I think it's been about a year! We love all your articles, tips and stories. I would be thrilled with any of these, I can't even imagine choosing, but we're in the market for a new shampoo, so I think I would choose that! Thanks!
Just found your site today I love the Oreo Messanger bag but all the prizes are too good to be true!
If I win I think I'd like a Baggu bag or the messenger bag made of recycled plastic bottles. I don't know if I'd use any of the other items and that kind of defeats the purpose, right?
This is my first time here and would love any of the bags shown or the carrot products.
I would love to be entered into your contest. Thanks
Yes to Carrots pack. My 1st time now.
I have been here sine about July? ish.
I would love to try the say YES to Carrots line, the envirosax would be a very close second though!

I'm actually new to this site. I'm glad I've found it, because it always nice to find a green blog to add to my list of favorites. I'd love to win a copy of Big Green Purse.
I would love to win any of the items, but my top choice would be the pair of organic cotton urban hiker socks from Maggie"™s Organics, especially if they are tie-dyed like in the picture. I love anything that is tie-dyed.

Thank you!*
Im a good human
Wow, this is quite a giveaway! I've been reading for several months now, probably six, and there's always something fascinating on here. I like any of the bags and hair care products. Thanks for the opportunity!
Today is my first time on your blog. Nice job! I would enjoy the hair care products. I always like to try something new.
Can't remember how long but over a year. I would like to win the Yes to Carrots products.
Thank you and love reading your newsletter.
WOW, Ive been VISITING THIS SITE EVER SINCE I WAS 12 AND A HALF!
I'm a new lurker to the site, and I'm in love with the Terracycle messenger bag. They're lovely.
New poster here. The envirosax is omgwant – bamboo is great.
I haven't ever been to the website before but my sister posted the link on her blog so I thought I would see what it was all about. I liked some of your featured articles and I think one in particular that stuck out was collecting rainwater from the roof. What a great idea! I never would have even thought about conserving water that way. And although drilling might not be the answer to our problems it does provide some relief. Isn't some better than none? Anyway, nice site and if I did win I would like the $30 gift certificate from Affordable Mineral Makeup. I tried it once and really liked the results. Thanks.
I have been reading for a few months now and do enjoy the blog but I have to say that I was born "green" – in other words – on a farm where we simply reused and recycled every thing and did green as away of life–it was normal to us as a family for survival- an example was saving tin cans for putting around small plants such as tomatoes so that the wind did not destroy in the spring- and cleaning rain water which we used for rinsing our clothes and our hair- and so on and so on-

This is my first time visiting the site. I found it while looking for a natural way to clean my coffee maker. (CLR YUCK!)
I would love an envirosak. When you go grocery shopping, canvas bags are great. But when you go downtown, or out shopping for clothes;you do not want to put them in your grocery bags. This is one of the first stylish bags I have seen, and like.
I like your articles and have bookmarked this site. It is a great reference tool and a good way to find out about new eco products etc.

2015 is bringing a lot of new and exciting tech advances in the fitness industry. There was no better place to show off all the new technology at Life Fitness than CES in Las Vegas.

Creating our Insignia Series product line presented a unique challenge. Because our Signature Series selectorized line was over 10 years old, it made sense to replace it with an innovative new product. But at the same time, sales of Signature Series were at an all-time high and growing each year.

Wearables are all the rage these days, and their ripple of influence is evolving the fitness world. Boosted by technological advances in accelerometers, which are sensors that detect motion, speed and direction, these fitness-tracking devices have become catalysts for understanding how we expend energy, and how we communicate that understanding with other technology.
Here are three ways wearables are changing the fitness world as we know it.

Re: cool!
I am using the HS850 and it is a really good headset. I used to have the H700 and the range really sucked on that one. The size of it was great and sould quality was excellent, but I couldn't go more than 30 feet. Motorola H500 is also a nice choice.

Product description
A brilliant new collection of stories from one of the most acclaimed and beloved writers of our time. With her peerless ability to give us the essence of a life in often brief but spacious and timeless stories, Alice Munro illumines the moment a life is shaped--the moment a dream, or sex, or perhaps a simple twist of fate turns a person out of his or her accustomed path and into another way of being. Suffused with Munro's clarity of vision and her unparalleled gift for storytelling, these stories (set in the world Munro has made her own: the countryside and towns around Lake Huron) about departures and beginnings, accidents, dangers, and homecomings both virtual and real, paint a vivid and lasting portrait of how strange, dangerous, and extraordinary the ordinary life can be.

Review quote
"It's no surprise that every story in the latest collection by Canada's Munro is rewarding and that the best are stunning. They leave the reader wondering how the writer manages to invoke the deepest, most difficult truths of human existence in the most plainspoken language. . . The author knows what matters, and the stories pay attention to it."--"Kirkus, "starred review "Unreserved praise for the continued wonderment provided by arguably the best short-story writer in English today. . . On whatever level of reader familiarity Munro is working, in every story she finds new ways to make the lives of ordinary people compelling."--"Booklist, "starred review "For the first time, Munro writes about her childhood, in the collection's final four pieces. . . These feature the precision of her fiction with the added interest of revealing the development of Munro's eye and her distance from her surroundings, both key, one suspects in making her the writer she is."--"PW, "boxed, starred review "With her penetrating new collection, Alice Munro demonstrates once again why she deserves her reputation as a master of short fiction. . . "This is not a story, only life," declares the protagonist of the title narrative. With the subtlety and complexity of Munro's writing, it's hard to tell the difference."--Pamela Newtown, "O Magazine "

Maxtor OneTouch Turbo III 1.5TB External Drive
Company: Seagate Technology LLC
Price: $549.99
How much storage do you have on your Mac? The demands of photo, video and audio files mean that more and more disk space is a real requirement nowadays, and has really driven down the cost of hard disks.
However, for most of us the Mac is not the most expandable of platforms for disk space. Unless you have a PowerMac or a Mac Pro, internal disks can only be replaced by the use of a specialist Apple engineer. Fortunately, USB and Firewire offers an external storage option, and the availability of external drives has mushroomed.
But that in itself creates a new problem. If you bought an external drive 12 months ago, you can probably buy double the capacity today for the same price (or less!). And if you use a drive to store precious data like photos or downloaded iTunes tracks, then you need a backup, so you'll probably have to buy another drive and some backup software. Then you have to remember to do the backups, of course…
Recently, I wanted to show one of my classes a few sections of a DVD. The DVD was not broken into chapters, so I could not count of skipping through the video with them. After searching the menus in Apple's DVD Player, I discovered Bookmarks.
Bookmarks allows you to create your own chapters in a DVD video, and it could not be any easier to do.
The first thing you need to do is have DVD Player open. Next go to the "Windows" menu and make sure "Bookmarks" is checked. If it is the window below will open.

HP Photosmart C4280 All-in-One Printer
Company: HP
Price: $99 (US)
I remember hearing once, long before computers became so popular, that they would become so fast and powerful, with a storage capacity and connectivity, that we would essentially live in a paperless world. And so here we are today, in a world dominated by computers of all shapes and sizes. Computers are so common now that, if we know someone who does not have one, we are mystified how that could even be possible. But the promise, or prediction, of the paperless world has never come to pass. If anything, the commonality of computers has only increased our need for paper. Be it for documents or pictures, printers of all shapes and sizes can be found plugged into most computers, whether using a direct USB connection or over a local area network.
While we're waiting for Tom Schmidt's technical review of Wi-Fire from hField Technologies, let's have a first look sneak peek. Wi-Fire is an affordable bus-powered USB alternative to Apple's AirPort wireless technology. Install its software, restart, connect Wi-Fire to your computer's USB port, launch its WLan application, choose SETUP -> OPEN SETUP WINDOW, wait a moment, and observe all wireless networks with Wi-Fire's extensive range.
If you know or think Wi-Fire is missing a potential wi-fi source, rotate its antenna and click on REFRESH in the WIRELESS LAN CONFIGURATION window. Each available network is displayed along with its potential connectivity strength. Depending upon whether you're hugging cacti near where I live, or in an urban apartment or office building, the results can range from none or one to very many networks.
This weekend, we go back two years to David Cohen's Introduction to Wireless Networking article. A must read if you are thinking of setting up a wireless network for the first time. Check it out here.
Download the show here, listen above, or rock it with iTunes
With Mac OS 10.5 right around the corner, Tim, Nemo, Russ, Tommy, and Guy chat it up. Also, the new iPods are discussed. David Cohen also returns with a new Fenestration.

Don't despair when your full size or mini iPod stops working. If the electronics or other components give up the ghost, your precious Toshiba 1.8 inch pip-squeak hard drive can remain in service.
Geek alert: the following is for techies. You know who you are. If you are asking yourself, "Izzis me, Nemo?" go back to your regularly-scheduled activity.
The cost is not trivial, but the process of extraction and data retrieval is straightforward. You carefully pry open the iPod case on the central seam running along either of the long sides, gently open up the case, and disconnect the couple of connectors that are hiding inside. Pull aside the rubber gaskets securing your tiny hard drive, unplug this drive from its port, and place it in a safe spot on your static-free work area.

Whoomp! Earbud Enhancers
Company: Comply / Hearing Components
Price: $20 US
If the Apple earbuds that are included with your iPod or iPhone sound tinny, or if they let in too much ambient noise, or fall out of your ears while you are actively using them, Comply™ / Hearing Components has a solution. Whoomp!™ Earbud Enhancers are angled foam tips attached to a form-fitting earbud cover, with improved bass response, sound isolation, and in-ear stability. At $20 for two sets, how good can they be, and how bad?

Most people who own Macs these days are using some version of OS X. If their Mac is of a relatively recent vintage, they probably also have a copy of Apple's iLife. I won't bother to explain what iLife is, you either have it or you don't. Apple's iLife 06 is the version that brought one new application that has wormed its way into my heart; iWeb.
The latest version of iLife as of September 2007 is iLife 08. If you have created sites using iWeb from iLife 06, be very careful. While Apple has updated iWeb 2, it still doesn't always play nice with sites created by its predecessor. If you're going to open a previous iWeb project in iWeb 2, make a backup copy of the "Domain" file first. See the section titled "Starting off in iWeb" which will tell you where the file is and an easy way to copy it.

TunePro Flat Panel Stereo Speaker, AM/FM Clock Radio, and iPod Charger
Company: MacAlly
Price: $130
MacAlly's TunePro is as strange as it is brilliant. Once you've placed it into service, set its clock and radio, connected the antennas, docked your iPod, and peeled away a sheet of protective plastic, you're looking at — yourself. The entire front panel is the mirrored surface of TunePro's speaker, with the time of day and your audio input method displayed in discreet LEDs in the upper right corner. You can shave while listening and looking at TunePro, as it vibrates to the beat of Beethoven, Big Bill Broonzy, or Biggie Smalls.
Let's see how accurate are this company's promotional claims:
"The latest NXT flat panel loudspeaker technology coupled with SRS WOW technology for superior audio enhancement"
TunePro's speaker design is a technological phenomenon, and the SRS WOW definitely enhances all audio output.

Orb iPod Speaker and Docking Station
Company: mStation
Price: $130 US
Orb is round, colorful, versatile, and at 8″ in diameter is a bit smaller than a bowling ball (but a bowling ball is a lot heavier). Orb is available in blue, red, pink, green, silver, black, and white. This 30 watt stereo "2.1" speaker is sold on the company web site, or at RCS Experience, J&R, B&H, and CompUSA. Here is a full product description with specifications, plus a photo gallery and some prior reviews.
mStation provided a bright green Orb for our evaluation. The unit ships with six different docking inserts for all current iPod models except the latest Gen 3 iPod "video" nano, but G3nano is so small it will work in one or more of the included inserts. Both my prehistoric third generation "four button" 30GB iPod and my brand new 80GB iPod Classic work as expected in Orb's north pole dock, but be aware that iPods prior to fourth generation have had problems with competing dock/speaker systems.

When it comes to digital photography, Mikkel Aaland is one of the most prolific writers about subject. A little over five years ago when I was first learning to understand how to use my little Olympus digital camera and Adobe's Photoshop Elements, Mikkel's books were among the first I read on the subject. Mikkel is an award-winning photographer and author of 10 books, including Phtoshop CS2 RAW (O'Reilly), Shooting Digital: Pro Tips for Taking Great Pictures with Your Digital Camera (Sybex), and The Sword of Heaven (Travelers' Tales). His latest book is about Adobe's popular digital processing application, Adobe Lightroom.

U-Suit Leather Cases for iPods
Company: Uniea
Prices: $29.95 and $34.95 US (see below for details)
* * * * *
U-Suits from Uniea are here in a colorful range of stylish, protective cases for all new and recent iPods, plus the iPhone. Artie recently reviewed the company's MacBook case here and gave it a high rating.
iPod U-Suits are rigid one-piece slip-in sleeves, with top, bottom, and front exposed. iPhone U-Suits are mostly open in front, to correspond to the large display area. An iPhone Folio model has a protective front flap that stays in place via a clever, gentle magnet, plus a belt clip and hole upper right rear. Card slots and dock ports are readily accessible.
I've been using a previous generation 60GB U-Suit to protect my new 80GB iPod Classic. The iPod slips snugly into its U-Suit, with little danger of unexpected escape. Screen visibility is acceptable through the permanently-affixed thin, clear screen cover. Click-wheel and Menu controls are easy to operate.

I went right to the iPod section and there was a row of about 7 shiny, gleaming iTouch iPods on one table. Across the aisle was another half dozen classic iPods.
The iTouch is REALLY thin. I'd read that it was pretty thin, but I was surprised at just how thin it was. Naturally, the display items in the store were not exhibiting any of the flaws the first batch of iTouchs' had with the dark screen problem.
I must say, I was impressed.

Presentation Remote Pro
Company: Keyspan
Price: $79
Do you need a remote for controlling slide shows and other presentations on your Mac, but you don't have a newer Mac that came with an Apple remote? Do you have an Apple remote for your computer, but it doesn't have enough features for your needs? If you answered yes to either of these questions, the Keyspan Presentation Remote Pro might be what you are looking for.
The Presentation Remote Pro is packed full of features. The most important feature being that it will control your presentations. It controls Powerpoint presentations, Keynote presentation, iPhoto slideshows, Quicktime slideshows, and it even controls switching tracks in iTunes (I had to try, and it worked!). In addition to controlling the visual part of the presentation, it also has volume control buttons to remotely control the audio part of your presentation.

text: The Star Wars: Episode I - Racer wiki last edited by FreezyFrog on 04/12/15 10:58AM View full history GameplayStar Wars: Episode I - Racer is a fast paced anti-gravity racing game based on the infamous "Pod Race" from The Phantom Menace movie. The player can reach extremely high speeds and use quick reflexes to dodge oncoming racers and obstacles. The racer begins each of the three lap races with three lives, meaning that in contrast to the film crashing doesn't mean your race is over, but is more of a minor setback. Once the lives are all used up, however, the racer is disqualified. Alongside the home console (of which just the N64 version was published by Nintendo) and computer versions, a port for the Game Boy Color was released with entirely different tracks, but similar core gameplay. Of greater note is Star Wars: Racer Arcade (developed jointly by Sega AM5 [later renamed Sega Rosso] and Lucasarts), which put the public in the seat of Anakin Skywalker's Pod with a cockpit shaped control deck. Two levers were used to control the game, mirroring events in the film. There are only four tracks in the Arcade, many less than the other versions.CharactersNote: While the characters are given individual backstories which show some to be inexperienced or unmotivated to seek victory, the game treats them all as dedicated and talented racers.Anakin SkywalkerA hero from the film which the game is based on. Anakin is a young human, notable for being the only of his race capable of participating in the dangerous game of podracing.SebulbaSebulba, a Dug, is a popular and successful racer who worked his way to the top by cheating. He is the only racer in the game to have a weapon. When using Sebulba's taunt, a flamethrower spouts out sideways.Bozzie BarantaOnce a mechanic for Gasgano, Bozzie chose to become a racer. He was fairly successful in this venture.Aldar BeedoWhile Aldar Beedo is a talented racer, his first priority is his work as a hitman, taking out racers to pave the way to victory for whoever pays for his services.Toy DampnerDampner is a menacing pilot. While he is known to race elsewhere, he prefers the tracks of Oovo IV, where he is a crowd favorite.Dud BoltA racer hired by Sebulba who is paid per race based on how many competing pods he is able to take out.GasganoAn experienced and talented racer who does not hesitate to take out racers who get in his way.Mars GuoA loudmouth braggart with a fondness for gambling and drinking. While he is a competent racer, his tendency to anger other racers often leads to his downfall.Ebe EndocottOnce a daredevil delivery man, Endocott was encouraged by his boss to take up podracing, where his daredevil ways and piloting skills let him achieve some success.Cy YungaA talented racer with an advanced pod. Yunga is only available in-game through a cheat code, causing him to replace "Bullseye" Navior.Ratts TyerellRatts Tyerell is a racer who gained success for his swift reflexes. He owns one of the largest podracers in the circuit.Fud SangA somewhat mediocre and unknown racer, who nevertheless is paranoid of being sabotaged by his opponents.Boles RoorA podracer who also excels at singing, Roor pilots an outdated podracer that nevertheless boasts a high top speed.Ark "Bumpy" RooseRoose is a particularly dim-witted pilot who is known for indiscriminately ramming into opposing racers.Wan SandageSandage is a podracer who gained a great deal of fame on his homeworld of Ord Radama. However, he is less successful on other planets, where he suffers from disorientation.Jinn ReesoLittle is known about Jinn Reeso. He is only available for use through a cheat code, causing him to replace Mars Guo.Ben QuadinarosQuadinaros is an inexperienced racer, racing out of his league with an experimental four-engine pod.Slide ParamitaParamita is an elitist racer who uses a small pod. He disapproves of racers who use bulky podracers.MawhonicA very talented racer who sells parts in his spare time."Bullseye" NaviorNavior is a talented pilot who gained the nickname "Bullseye" for his unique looking eyes.Teemto PagaliesDespite being a drunkard, Pagalies is one of the least corrupt racers in the sport. He is a crowd pleaser, known for performing daring stunts during races.Ody MandrellMandrell is a racer who participates not for money, but for an adrenaline rush. His tough skin lets him survive otherwise deadly crashes.Neva KeeNeva Kee stands out among the other racers for his unique podracer. Its engines are attached directly to the cockpit and jut out behind it. This makes the cockpit the frontmost part of the pod, greatly increasing the risk of death in a crash.Elan MakElan Mak is actually a bounty hunter named Kam Nale. He joined the podracing circuit in order to hunt down Aldar Beedo. When he discovered his talent for the sport, he became involved with it beyond his initial intention to only use it as a front to catch Beedo.Clegg Holdfast A reporter for Podracing Quarterly, Holdfast participates in races primarily in order to get an inside scoop. Despite his ulterior motives, he showed himself to be a talented racer.ModesN64, Dreamcast, PC and Mac Versions:There are four main modes within the game. The single player story mode, called "Tournament", is a sequence of championships of increasing difficulty composed of several races each in which the player competes for trophies. New tracks, racers and upgrades are unlocked by playing through it and Credits earned by winning races allows you to add new parts to your Pod. The difficulty level in Tournament mode can't be set. Free Race mode is essentially the exhibition mode in which players compete in single races but can't unlock rewards, however the level of the opponents' challenge can be determined. Time Attack is no different to any other mode with this name, as the player attempts to beat a track as quickly as possible. There is also a local two player mode, and the level and number of AI racers can be altered.PlanetsTatooineOnly two of the game's courses are found in Tatooine. The first is the Boonta Training Course, an easy map that acquaints players with the game. The second is the Boonta Classic, which is a relatively faithful recreation of the racetrack from the movie.Mon GazzaMon Gazza is a Mars-like world with vast red deserts, crowded but small cities, and lava pits. Tracks here often involve large open spaces that quickly turn to narrow corridors.Ando PrimeAndo Prime is an ice world. Tracks here take players through numerous caves, and often take them across slick, icy surfaces. Many tracks in this world feature a shortcut that opens up in laps 2 and on, in which the racer may turn left immediately past the finish line and enter a tent that hides a tunnel.AquilarisAquilaris is composed largely of water, and its tracks take place largely in the infrastructure built on the water. Players are taken through underwater tunnels through which massive fish may be seen.MalastareMalastare is a dark world with many sharp turns and visual obstructions such as gas and rocky pillars. Tracks here are narrow and unforgiving.BaroondaBaroonda is a jungle world. Players race through a variety of environments here, including thick rain forests, beaches, and a volcano.Ord IbannaRacetracks on Ord Ibanna are all located on infrastructure floating in a cloudy sky. These tracks often feature elevated shortcuts that are difficult to stay on because they are narrow.Oovo IVOovo IV is a large, asteroid-like world. Players race through open expanses along with urban areas. The highest speeds achievable in the game are found here in anti-gravity tunnels.Track OverviewThere are several tracks on each of the available planets, and every racer has at least one signature track. There are 25 tracks in total, divided into four categories: Amatuer, Semi-Pro, Galactic, and Invitational.Tracks in order of appearance:Boonta Training CoursePlanet - TatooineCircuit - AmateurAdvantage - SebulbaPod Racing!Mon Gazza SpeedwayPlanet - Mon GazzaCircuit - AmateurAdvantage - Teemto PagaliesBeedo's Wild RidePlanet - Ando PrimeCircuit - AmateurAdvantage - Aldar BeedoAquilaris ClassicPlanet - AquilarisCircuit - AmateurAdvantage - Clegg HoldfastMalastare 100Planet - MalastareCircuit - AmateurAdvantage - Dud BoltVengeancePlanet - Oovo IVCircuit - AmateurAdvantage - Fud SangSpice Mine RunPlanet - Mon GazzaCircuit - AmateurAdvantage - Mars Guo / Jinn ReesoSunken CityPlanet - AquilarisCircuit - Semi-ProAdvantage - "Bullseye" Navior / Cy YungaHowler GorgePlanet - Ando PrimeCircuit - Semi-ProAdvantage - Ratts TyerellDug DerbyPlanet - MalastareCircuit - Semi-ProAdvantage - Elan MakMore Pod Racing!Scrapper's RunPlanet - Ord IbannaCircuit - Semi-ProAdvantage - Wan SandageZugga ChallengePlanet - Mon GazzaCircuit - Semi-ProAdvantage - Boles RoorBaroo CoastPlanet - BaroondaCircuit - Semi-ProAdvantage - Neva KeeBumpy's BreakersPlanet - AquilarisCircuit - Semi-ProAdvantage - Ark "Bumpy" RooseExecutionerPlanet - Oovo IVCircuit - GalacticAdvantage - Toy DampnerSebulba's LegacyPlanet - MalastareCircuit - GalacticAdvantage - SebulbaGrabvine GatewayPlanet - BaroondaCircuit - GalacticAdvantage - Anakin SkywalkerAndobi Mountain RunPlanet - Ando PrimeCircuit - GalacticAdvantage - MawhonicDethro's RevengePlanet - Ord IbannaCircuit - GalacticAdvantage - Ody MandrellFire Mountain RallyPlanet - BaroondaCircuit - GalacticAdvantage - Ebe EndocottBoonta ClassicPlanet - TatooineCircuit - GalacticAdvantage - SebulbaAndo Prime CentrumPlanet - Ando PrimeCircuit - InvitationalAdvantage - Slide ParamitaAbyssPlanet - Ord IbannaCircuit - InvitationalAdvantage - Bozzie BarantaThe GauntletPlanet - Oovo IVCircuit - InvitationalAdvantage - GasganoInfernoPlanet - BaroondaCircuit - InvitationalAdvantage - Ben QuadinarosEven though the planets host multiple races, it does not mean that those races are at all similar.Attribute OverviewEach pod has 15 total attributes that determine its racing performance.

Should John Cena Really be the Face of PG-WWE?
by, 07-03-2012 at 02:00 AM (7417 Views)
For quite some time now, the WWE has been in what is collectively known as the "PG-Era" WWE.
PG WWE is supposed to be famiily-friendly entertainment with the occasional combat sport thrown in.
For as long as the WWE has been PG, one face has been made synonymous with PG WWE.
That face, my friends, is John Cena.
My Question : Why?
John Cena's character is that of a thug.
John Cena's style of wrestling is that of a brawler.
I'm not saying that John Cena should be a heel based on these traits. What I am saying, however, is that John Cena's character is not what I would consider family-friendly.
Typically, or stereo-typically in most cases, is that thugs are not viewed well in the public eye.
The media shows thugs as criminals. The media shows thugs as drug-dealers and abusers. The media shows thugs as rapists. The media shows thugs as nothing but people of ill-repute.
When the media shows a particular type of person in a constant negative light, it has a tendency to create a stigma.
Don't get me wrong, though. Even in a more edgy, dare I say "Attidude-ish" WWE, would I portray John Cena as anything the media thinks of a thug? Not at all.
However, I wouldn't have John Cena be the "poster boy" of the WWE.
I would portray John Cena as the rebel character. I would make him the Steve Austin of this generation. I would make him the anti-disestablishment of the current WWE product.
If you think of Steve Austin, he wasn't very different from John Cena. Steve Austin was not a very technical wrestler. Steve Austin was a "Superman" in his time.
As a matter of opinion, if you were to substitute a thug in the place of a redneck, John Cena could have been possibly as big as Steve Austin.
The main difference? Steve Austin COULD be the face of the company during the Attitude Era. There were limited rules because the TV rating was different. The WWE could afford that TV rating because the US economy was very strong. However, it is my opinion that as long as the US economy is struggling, the WWE will remain TV-PG because that TV rating is more attractive to corporate sponsors.
So, my point is that John Cena should be the company's rebel, and nothing more... at least right now.
So, who, in my opinion, should be the TRUE face of the current WWE product?
Well, look no further than CM Punk.
What better role model for the current target demographic could there possibly be than the "Straight-Edge Superstar?" As a totally drug, alcohol and tobacco free celebrity, he could be setting a great example for children the world over. However, WWE has really dropped the ball with the straight-edge gimmick.
EXAMPLE : The "Straight-Edge Messiah" - WWE decided to make CM Punk's straight-edge lifestyle into an evil, maniacal heel character. He was portrayed as a self-absorbed cultist. Now, all of a sudden, straight-edge is what the bad guys are. Worse yet, the main good guy in the feud was Jeff Hardy, who was publicly suspended for drug use.
Personally, I have no real opinion of people and drugs, but, I honestly think that the entire angle promoted the wrong message.
So, I think that if WWE would push an intelligent version of a straight-edge character, then it would be great to have him as the true face of the company.
Furthermore, with CM Punk as the guy with the majority of camera time, promo time and main events, I really don't think people will complain like they do with John Cena.
CM Punk has great microphone skills when he is allowed to.
CM Punk constantly delivers matches that are both story-driven and technically sound, which John Cena, though he tries, has never been able to do.
Another thing that I think sets CM Punk apart from nearly everyone else on the roster is the fact that he is not hesitant about jumping the guard rail and mingle with the audience.
So, the fact that CM Punk is more skilled and entertaining, as well as having a "regular guy" feel to him, is an even greater reason to have him as the face of the WWE.
In finishing, please allow me to say that I am a John Cena fan. I appreciate his passion for the industry, as well as his fans. I just don't think that his character and the state of the business is a good mix.
Finally, I'm very sorry if this blog is rather lackluster. I manage a certain video games retail store, and in the last two weeks, I've had to fire nearly my entire staff and hire completely new people. So, I've had to write what I was hoping was going to be a good blog over three weeks in which the entire thing has been patched together with just a thought or two at a time.
As always, thank you for reading and commenting.
Shepard Out.

YIELD: Serves 6 to 8 as a side dish
Combine the milk and 2 1/2 cups of water in a medium-sized pot, and bring the mixture up to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Mix in the salt and pepper. Then whisk in the grits, pouring them in slowly and whisking continuously until they're smooth, with no lumps. The grits should look a little like oatmeal, only finer.
Turn the heat down to medium-low and keep cooking, whisking regularly so nothing sticks.
Meanwhile, combine the cilantro leaves, diced green chiles, and green onions in a food processor and pulse for 30 seconds or so, until everything is finely chopped.
When the grits have cooked through and thickened, pull the pot off the heat and add the cilantro mixture. Whisk everything together so the grits turn green. Then add the butter and whisk again, so the butter melts in.
Whisk in the grated cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. Serve it up hot.

Ibie's Guest Bedroom
FEATURED: Organic Woodland Euro Shams + Washed Linen/Cotton Pillow Covers + Knotted Felt Pillow Covers + more
WHY IT WORKS: Ibie Falcusan of One Story Building shared the makeover of her guest bedroom with us. She's mastered the mix and has designed a calming and relaxing space for guests…
I used west elm textiles and bedding to add the finishing layer to our guest bedroom. Specifically, I used the Organic Woodland Euro Shams, a couple of blue Washed Linen/Cotton pillow covers, and the Knotted Felt Pillow Cover. Even the trim for my custom headboard slipcover -— which was made from fabric remnants that I had in my house — was constructed from a west elm Ikat Ogee Linen Window Panel!
Ibie shares the sources for all her finds on her blog! See more of her home on One Story Building.

I really love this space. I never would have picked such a bright navy color for throw pillows but it works so well. Way to take chances. It's a wonderful space.
Absolutely fabulous! Every piece works together, and the overall effect is stunning!
It looks so serene. I love the headboard!
Gorgeous! Love the combination of textures with the throw pillows and the blankets. Great colors.
I wish I could be a guest staying in this room. The colors and mix of textures are perfect. The dark wood floors are a perfect complement. Love!
Lovely! Love the clean colors and lines. Great lamps and bedside tables, too!
cool, calm, serene. love it!
It is so peaceful! I love how the shams and pillow covers play of the color of the room. Not certain how you would ever get guests to leave.
ooooo I just want to cuddle up with a good book and chamomile tea in that bed! The fabrics and textures look luscious and the color palette is awesome.
Looks fantastic! I love all the patterns and textures together. Great job!
Can Ibie design my guest bedroom??? Love the texture/color combo on the bed along with the bedside table lamps. Soooo lovely!

Hill Forest is a 225-acre natural area located in Davidson County approximately ten miles west of downtown Nashville. It is named for its previous owner, whose estate owned this forestland for nearly a century prior to its protection as a state natural area. Its preservation was uncertain until it was acquired by the Friends of Warner Parks in 2010 through a highly successful fund raising effort. It will become an addition to the Warner Parks, which is also a registered state natural area.
The Hill Forest became the 81st designated state natural area in 2010 because of its exemplary quality forest communities. The forest is recognized for an old growth component with many oak and hickory species, walnut, tulip poplar, and other species known to be well over 200 years old. The best examples of the forest have trees with canopy heights above 120 feet and tree trunk diameters in excess of 36 inches (90 cm). Interestingly, an abundance of large old trees grow where site conditions are poor on mid to upper slopes and on ridges in cherty acidic soil. The natural area topography is dissected; comprised of hollows, slopes and ridges.
Hill Forest is a unique natural area in an urban setting. Presently, invasive species do not pose a significant problem in this natural area, whereas they are major problem nearby. The understory of the forest is relatively open and pristine supporting native shrubs and sub-canopy trees amidst the big trees. As an addition to the Warner Parks, it will continue to be a refuge for wildlife including an ecological island for neotropical migrant bird species.
Owned by Friends of Warner Parks, 50 Vaughn Rd, Nashville, TN 37221, phone (615) 370 – 8053. Managed by Warner Parks (Nashville Metropolitan Davidson County Government, Dept. Parks and Recreation), address is the same as FOWP, (615) 370 – 8051.
Public access is presently only allowed by permission of Friends of Warner Parks; scheduled organized hiking events are offered to the public; future access is pending trail construction.
Hill Forest is located approximately ten miles west of downtown Nashville and approximately one mile west of the US Hwy 70/US Hwy 100 split off of Hwy 70. The natural area is between Hwy 70 and Hwy 100 across from Edwin Warner Park.

Cairo South Programme Unit
Area: 4,649 sq. km
Population: 1,167,372
Districts: Basateen, Toura and Khair Allah
Sponsored children: 3,890
Plan Egypt has been working in the Cairo South Programme Unit since 1990.
We work with children, families and other non-governmental organisations (NGOS) to raise awareness about the rights of children and to empower marginalised sections of these communities.
Programme highlights
Disability and social Inclusion
We help children with disabilities through our community-based rehabilitation project which has been running in the Cairo South Programme unit since 2004.
Working with local and other international NGOs, we ensure the rehabilitation, equal opportunities and social inclusion of all children through forming community structures that support training, workshops and awareness sessions for children and their families.
Village Saving and Loans Associations
Plan Egypt supports 86 Village Saving and Loans Association (VSLA) groups, which enable families to save, access credit at lower rates and be financially independent. The programme focuses on community participation, especially for women.
Gender and harmful traditional practices
Plan Egypt raises awareness around the importance of girls and women participation in the community through training, workshops, conferences, awareness sessions and capacity building.
We have also helped around 1,000 women to acquire national identity cards, which are key to accessing services such as health and education.
Education and community learning
Through partnership with the community, other NGOs and the General Authority of Literacy and Adult Education (GALAE), Plan Egypt provides education opportunities for out of school children, street children and illiterate people.
Esma3oona – Hear us out!
For the last 3 years we have been supporting 3 youth clubs which teach children their rights and encourage them to speak out on issues affecting their lives. These clubs have played a magnificent role in producing Esma3oona, a show aired on Egyptian national television every week addressing children's rights.
Watch video of Plan's work with Nokia to support Esma3oona and other child media projects in Africa.
Vocational training
Plan is working with local Community Development Associations in south Cairo to help child labourers learn vocational skills and escape harsh conditions. Read more about our vocational training project.

The whole enchiladaI've never bought into the notion that if food is healthy it doesn't taste good. You might have been able to convince me of that when I was younger, when fast food was a mainstay of my diet and the thought of eating healthy was synonymous with bland, boring and completely gross.
