Chattanooga Basketball Postgame Quotes
Chattanooga at Radford
Dedmon Center - Radford, Va.
Monday - November 11, 2013
Head Coach Will Wade
Thoughts on the game
"We never got into rhythm in the first half. We were able to get into the rhythm in the second half and played really well, but we didn't attack enough to score. We got into some foul trouble and picked up some fouls that weren't very smart. We weren't able to set our press, but when we did in the second half, it gave them fits, and we were able to come back and play really well. We just didn't get off to a good start. We drove to the rim on the first possession and didn't put up the best shot, so we have to start off attacking and going in there to score. We were in there looking for fouls too much and fading away. We had wide open looks from three-point range and just didn't hit any in the first half."
On the defense after taking shots
"We had good looks, but we were shooting midrange and jump shots and they were grabbing them and running with them. That's why we need to attack the rim more and get stuff at the rim so we can get back and set our transition defense. You're not going to win on the road giving up almost 90 points. We settled down in the second half and did a better job. They only shot four three's and only hit two. They didn't shoot it as well, but we gave them too much too easy in the first half. We didn't get enough easy shots in the first half."
Thoughts on the overall game plan
"It's a work in progress. When we get the style of play going like we did for an eight minute stretch in the second half, good things happen. We had a wide-open three from the corner to cut it to six points and our guys battled. They really stuck with the plan, but we couldn't seem to get to that plan quick enough. To our guys' credit, they kept their gloves up, kept fighting and taking jabs. We were able to deliver some ourselves."
On Chattanooga's near-comeback
"Our guys stuck with what we were trying to do, which was good to see. When you're on the road, you have to execute the plan. We just didn't give ourselves enough opportunities early enough to execute our plan. When we did we were fine, but we just let it slip away too much early. We got it down to three in the first half after we withstood their initial punch. I thought we were going to settle down after that, but we ran into foul trouble that really took its toll on us."
Gee McGhee, Sophomore, Guard
Thoughts on the Mocs' making it a close game near the end
"We noticed whenever we decided to come back and play, deciding not to lay down, we played as a team and came back as one unit. We just played together. We said that if we lost, we would lose as a team. If we won, we would win as a team. No man is left behind, so we have to play for the person next to us. We just kept hacking at the lead. We got it down to 11 and 12 points within the lead, we just kept our heads down and played hard."
On Chattanooga's mindset during the comeback
"That's the wrong approach to take. We are all warriors and we have to play for each other. In order to do that, we can't take bad shots or take a play off. We just have to keep playing throughout the bad and the good."
Z. Mason, Forward, Senior
Thoughts on playing on the road
"You're always playing uphill on the road. But we fought back because Coach Wade just kept telling us to keep fighting. We cut the lead down to nine at one point, and he kept preaching to keep fighting. It's tough playing on the road anywhere, but we have to fight through that adversity and play hard."
On getting back into a rhythm and improving
"A lot of it was us making baskets and getting into our press. That was something we weren't able to do in the first half because we weren't making that many shots. If we're making shots, that helps us get back into the press and causes trouble for our opponent. We just have to keep fighting. We didn't play as good as we wanted to, but we have to keep playing hard and go back to fix mistakes. We're not far off at all. We just have to go back and fix some mistakes so we're ready for Saturday."

My elder brother, Atmaram, was born on 13th October 1931. I (Nandakumar) was born on 31st October 1940 as the second son in the family, followed by Ashok, who joined our family on 8 th September 1945. My father was keen and desiring to have a girl in the family. His wish was fulfilled when Gita was born on 7th December 1950. The nucleus of our family was obviously my Papa and Ayi , who sacrificed everything in their lives to bring us up. Ours was a middle class family with no ancestral property and no inheritance to boast of. The only heredity in the family was the strength of character, honesty, sincerity, hard working qualities, god-fearing nature and self respect. These extra-ordinary qualities were imbibed by us from our parents. Ayi was a perfect picture of composure, filled with compassion and love for her family, with a natural flair for sacrifice. I can never fathom the extent/limit to which she would stretch in making sacrifices for the family, in order to make us comfortable and happy. She was the prefect role model of a true housewife and a mother to us and translated the ideals and beliefs of Papa into action. Papa was devoted solely to the responsibilities normally shouldered by the head of the family. He discharged his duties and responsibilities to the family to perfection and to such a great extent that we were never allowed or made to feel the absence of comforts in life. Papa toiled, sweated and worked hard to give us a decent education which would stand steadfast in our future careers and lives. Education was the only inheritance left behind by Papa for his children, for he never accumulated any wealth or property in his long, hard and struggling life. His sole aim in life was to give his children a strong base and a platform to launch our individual lives and careers.
Papa was a self-made person with certain fixed notions and characteristics which were his ideals. He was very honest, sincere and hard working to the core. He was a very sensitive person and had his own ideologies primarily entrenched in his life. He was a person of few words but his actions displayed clearly his intentions. He never lost his temper and was always a cool person under any circumstance. He would never hurt anyone's feelings and would also not let any person to hurt his feelings. He had his own way of punishing people for their wrong acts. Any person who hurt his feelings or acted in any manner contrary to Papa's liking would be punished in true Gandhian style. Papa would totally ignore the person and would not even bother to look at him or his face and totally stop talking to him. Human beings being social animals were given such a treatment which would teach them a true lesson that would be remembered all through their lives. Is this not "Ahimsa" practiced by Mahatma Gandhi? This brings to memory, days of my earlier years – I must have been around 8 or 9 years of age. Once it so happened that I was teasing and picking up quarrels with Ashok, who was younger to me by 5 years. Despite persistent efforts of Ayi in trying to persuade me from doing so, I was not responding to her pleas. So when Papa returned home from office, my pranks were brought to his notice. The nature of punishment that I got was really extra-ordinary! I was asked to face the wall and stand facing it till Papa felt the punishment was over. Further, no one was to speak to me during this time and no food. Another condition of the punishment was that I should feel sorry for my mistake and repent for it and assure both Ayi and Papa that I would not repeat it. I did repent my mistake and all was well. He was a Gandhian all his life and more or less demonstrated those qualities by actions. "Ahimsa" was his second nature and "Satya" was his foundation. Papa, to a very great extent, imbibed the Gandhian culture and belief in his life. I strongly feel that Papa must have realised the full impact of the meaning of this small couplet from a song sung by Kishore Kumar in one of the Hindi films – "Dukhi Man mere, Sun Mera Khahana, Jahan nahin sahna, Wahan nahin rahna" – for he did exactly this on quite a few occasions in his life. Whenever he felt that he was uncomfortable in his job due to any wayward comment passed by his boss or by any person, he would quit the job without resorting to any personal responses. He would never even think of the family while doing so. He would never like to stay on for even a minute in any place where he was uncomfortable, not physically but mentally, and would just walk out of the place without even looking back. Perhaps, this trait of his character did not permit his conscience to stay on in any job for a long time, thus not allowing a situation of permanency in his working career, which certainly affected the economic balance of our family. Unfortunately, the brunt of his actions was squarely borne by Ayi, in her own way of accepting these situations as a way of life. She carried on life as normally as she would under any given normal circumstances. I do not know whether to attribute this peculiar trait of Papa as his strength of character or his weakness. One thing was sure; Papa's working career became a rolling stone which never gathered any moss. In retrospect, I wonder why Papa had to suffer so much in life, always working abnormal hours without a thought for his health or peace of mind. I distinctly recall those early days in Bangalore – 1955 to 1958 – when Papa used to work relentlessly for the sake of his family. Those days it was very difficult for our family to meet both ends meet. Our economic situation was very bad and money was more precious to us than any other thing in the world. We were living on a shoe-string budget. Ashok, Gita and myself, were all studying in various academic stages. I remember he used to walk all the way to his office located on Mysore Road from our residence situated in front of the Malleswaram Railway Station. Those days the winter season in Bangalore was very cold, yet he used to brave the unkind weather by avoiding travel by bus to save a few rupees for the sake of his family. Atmaram had just landed on a decent job in Delhi and was contributing his mite to support the family. There were times when there was nothing at home for us to eat. I remember those days in College when I could not afford even a cup of coffee or tea during the lunch interval and had to manage with a glass of water. The morning lunch at home was the only food I remember to have had before leaving for College and had to be satisfied with dinner at night. Yet Papa never gave up his principles.
Another trait of Papa, which comes to my mind, is his strong sense of self-belief and confidence in him, which never allowed him to be dependant upon others. He always used to transmit the message that one should always be self-reliant and never be dependant upon others in life. He was very conscious and proud of it. Papa never liked to utter lies and also did not tolerate anyone lying. He believed that Truth always triumphs in life – "Satyameva Jayete" – and one should always be truthful and honest in life. He desired that his family also should fall in line with his trusted beliefs and principles. (1) Honesty and Sincerity (2) Hard work (3) Self belief and Self reliance (4) Loyalty (5) Being Trust-worthy and Truthful at all times (6) Courteous and Kind (7) Helpful (8) God-fearing and religious (9) Straight-forward. No amount of words would suffice me to thank Papa for this legacy.
One more aspect of Papa that comes to my mind is his qualities of decision-making. Papa was swift in making decisions and would never waver over the pros and cons of such decisions. This quality was very much evident when he used to resign a job for some reason or the other without giving a second thought of its impact on the lives of his family. In a way, Papa was a very determined and firm individual in his life. Poor Ayi had no say in any matters since Papa's word was final. I do not recollect any situation where Papa would have changed his decision, be it for good or worse. In a way he was quite adamant with his opinions or decisions and he would hardly think of re-considering a decision made by him on an impulse. Papa was very fond of his family and was always thinking and working towards the welfare of the members.
I recall an incident that occurred in Bombay at Atmaram's flat where Papa was staying during the latter part of his life and I had come down from Muzaffarpur (Bihar) to Bombay for a training course. He was very particular in enquiring with me whether I had sufficient money in my purse while travelling back from Bombay. Actually, I was living on a shoe-string budget and could not afford to have more than what was necessary with me. I had great difficulty in convincing him that I had enough money to take me back to Muzaffarpur. But I think he knew out of his personal experience that I was really short of money and he forcefully thrust a hundred rupee note to keep for unexpected expenses during the journey, despite my protests. I had to accept it since otherwise he would have felt bad. Mind you he had no source of personal income then, yet he was worried about the welfare of his family members. How can one erase such acts out of one's memory? Another facet of Papa's nature was his flair for writing. Papa unfortunately lost both his eyes and became totally blind. Yet, he would continue to pursue with his attempts to write. His scrawl would be deciphered and transcribed, and some of his articles were also published. I remember Papa seeking Atmaram's help in transcribing the writings made by Papa on sheets of paper and forward it to publishers of magazines. I think (I am not sure) Atmaram did manage to have one of Papa's articles published in some magazine. One can imagine Papa's joy when he was informed about this achievement.
Papa also had a flair for writing dramas and plays during the years we spent in Bangalore. He would also direct them and have them enacted on special occasions. Music was in his blood. He was such a wonderful player of "Harmonium" and was capable of playing with both his hands on the instrument. He would personally direct the music for the dramas or plays written by him. He would also encourage young and upcoming "Kirthankars" to perform Kirtans in temples and halls. I vividly remember how he had helped the "PAI" brothers – Acchutha Pai and Keshava Pai – to perform their Kirtans in our Canara Union Hall, and Radhakrishna Temple in Malleswaram, Bangalore, in front of large audiences. At that time the "Pai" brothers were comparatively unkown. Papa did his mite in helping them to establish themselves
During the days we spent in Bangalore, Papa had developed close intimacy and friendship with Shri.Kallianpur Umesh Bhat, a neighbour. Papa used to spend most of his spare time in the company of Umesh Bhat. Strangely, Papa had no other intimate friends (as far as I know) other than Umesh Bhat, although Papa was quite friendly in nature. Perhaps he chose only Umesh Bhat as a true friend in life due to some common interests they both shared together.
Yet another aspect of Papa was his love for painting and drawing. I was informed by Ayi that during Papa's younger days, he was drawing cartoons for newspapers – I remember having seen a few such cartoons made by Papa. He was also fond of painting. During our stay at Radhakrishna Temple in Malleswaram, Bangalore, he made a painting for the back-drop in the sanctum-sanctorum of the temple, behind the idols of Lord Krishna and Radha. He put in a lot of efforts in finishing the colour painting and as per his desire, it was placed exactly where he wanted it. Even today, one can still see the painting made by Papa in the same place. He encouraged his family members also to take up this art. Deepak, my youngest son, has inherited this art from Papa. Papa was very fond of his grand children and always used to encourage them to take up fine-arts as per their choice and develop it into an extra-curricular activity.
Papa was a keen sportsman in his younger days and encouraged his children to play any sport of their choice. I remember an occasion, when Papa was staying with me in Bangalore in the late 1960s. He was very keen in playing a Cricket match organized by the Canara Union, Malleswaram, Bangalore, as part of their Annual Sports. Papa was past 60 and was not fit enough to be able to withstand the strain of a day on the cricket field. It was with great difficulty that I was able to convince him in not taking the risk of the strain. The point I am trying to make about Papa is that although his body was not very much willing, his spirit was too eager to participate. Such was the passion Papa had for sports.
Papa moved out of Bangalore to Shirali where he took up a job as Accountant at the Math which he held for seven years, until he finally retired in 1974. Papa and Ayi then shifted to Bombay for the rest of their lives. They shared their stay with Atmaram and Ashok and once in a while with Gita. We lost Ayi on 28th May 1986 when she breathed her last. This was an irreparable personal loss to Papa. He was very much attached to and dependant upon Ayi in the latter part of his life.
His loneliness was compounded by the loss of vision. But he never made his loneliness or thetroubles due to blindness evident in his attitude, which was always one of acceptance of his fate without a murmur. Apart from his blindness, he was in excellent health, considering his age.One should have seen the glow on his face when his family members celebrated his 90th birthday in Bombay, when all his children and grandchildren participated, either by being present in person, or sending him their greetings. Savitri, Atmaram's wife, used to take personal care of Papa after Ayi's demise, until she herself began to have health problems. When Savitri came to Bangalore for a change and treatment,Papa shifted from Atmaram's flat to Gila's flat to enable him to spend the final journey of his life with his beloved daughter, Gita. Papa breathed his last on 19thJanuary 2001 in a private nursing home. Papa's tryst with destiny and life on earth ended. What remain now are only his memories, thoughts and his values to be cherished.
Papa would have loved to see all of us celebrate his 100th Birthday, but this was not to be.. May his soul rest in peace.

Things I liked:This is a beautiful scope no doubt about it , clear glass. flip-ups , well made , no longer available to order though.
Things I would have changed:Nothing this scope looks like it would work very well on any gun.
What others should know:I mounted this scope on a tech force model 66 ( looks just like a QB-57). I was very disappointed no what i did could not get this scope to sight in, it would always be about 2 inches low , so i ended up mounting o.e.m. scope back on the rifle. At least now i am able to hit something with it. I would send it back if i could. A very hard rifle to be accurate with , takes a lot of practice.
Things I liked:It is a very beautiful scope
Things I would have changed:Don't really know
What others should know:I do not understand all the great reviews about this scope when i got this scope i thought that it looked great and was very inexspensive. I am very dissapointed in this scope i can simply not sight it in i would return it but i do not have the shipping box it came in any more plus it is past 30 days so i can't return it. I also wasted almost a full tin of pellets. i am very dissapointed with pyramidair for sending me a deffected product. the reason i say it is deffected is beacause when i shoot at a target or what ever, it shoots {depending on the range} 3 inches to the left i have tryed fixing it by moveing the scope turrents several clicks to the left when that didnt help i turned it several clicks to the right whitch didnt help either. i can turn the turrents in full cirles without a single difference. i may not order from pyramidair ever again if i only get defected products.
scope has life time warrenty from leaper check with leapers about a return,or you can try shimming the scope so it aims to the left.
Things I liked:Nice focus, crosshairs and target both crystal clear
Things I would have changed:Nothing
What others should know:My Browning Leverage now shoots groups that are half the size of the original scope,which was included with the rifle!

Advice for an Arts graduate beginner, if you'd be so kind :)
Hi everyone,
I've been scouring these forums for about 6 months now, and I can't deal with the denial any more! I was hoping the desire to do medicine would fade, as the road seems so long and arduous. However, I really do think it's what I want to do, and it's time to make a plan - and your advice would be amazing
I have an English degree (starred First, top 10 uni) and am going to do my Master's (with a full scholarship) at Oxford next year. I applied for this last September, whilst still in the denial stage! However, I do enjoy English still, it is fascinating and I'm not going to turn down the opportunity to go to Oxford - it shouldn't, alas, but it might help in some way?! I'm lucky to have always been a natural academic; I got 10 x A*s and 3 x As in my GCSEs (inc triple sciences - last time I did science!) and AAAAa in my A Levels (all arts, and AS Maths), but wanted to be a writer when I was 16...
After several stints of volunteering and travelling abroad since graduating, I've realised my desire to help other people is overwhelming. I volunteered in a school in Africa and at a day care centre for HIV positive children - this is where the flame of medical desire ignited! Then I went to India and did some community development projects there, and was so inspired by a group of doctors who'd set up a charity hospital for tribal people in Karnataka. Unbelievable people. I felt a little useless, and there were doctors (who'd just finished F2) who were volunteering in my team. They could do so much... After 6 months of travel and such, I came home and got a job in publishing, in an office...and hate it. The meaningless of it all; being stuck in an office all day; processes, flowcharts, corporate jargon....argh! Cue existential crisis, and here I am!
So that's a snapshot of me! Thanks for reading thus far
From what I've gathered, the best plan would be to do the GAMSAT and apply to SGUL, Notts and Swansea, where, depending on me being able to revise my arse off and do well, you're nearly guaranteed an interview with a good score? I did used to be really good at science - at GCSE.
I am still finding it very hard to believe that my arts degree could ever be considered equal to someone with a first in, say, Biomedical Science or Biochemistry?! Just seems crazy. Is it really that much of a leveller?
So my plan would be:
- Do Master's next year as planned. Volunteer as much as possible, in a care setting
- Master's finishes in June. Move home, and study for the GAMSAT -> September
[alternative - take a year out after Master's, and travel/volunteer abroad some more to make sure for SURE this is what I want/grab some more life experience]
- Live at home and work part-time in a care home, whilst volunteering in a hospice/shadowing/whatever I can, and study for the GAMSAT
- Take GAMSAT
-Also take A Levels to broaden options? Not sure whether this should be done after having a crack at the GAMSAT, as a last option? I live in the north, so it'd be hard to find somewhere to do it... The 5 year is all but out for me - my family is not rich at all. On the bright side, my mum is a full time HCA and works at a GP surgery, so should be able to help with work exp.
Am I completely mad? I know some people just never get in, despite being insanely clever and motivated and ticking all the right boxes...
Any words of advice are greatly appreciated!
Thank you for reading all that if you've got this far, I realise it's a mammoth post but there's months of angst gone into this 'coming out' as a potential medic applicant!

I started out from a very similar background to yourself (arts graduate, arts masters, office based post-graduation career, lay interest in science, wanting to find a vocation centred on helping people, et al) so can attest to the GAMSAT + lots of varied work experience route being a fine path to start a medical career.
So to answer your main question, no you are not completely mad (as far as I can tell).
The best piece of advice I was offered at your stage get lots of varied work experience as soon as possible - partly as this will be absolutely crucial for showing to admissions teams that you are serious about medicine, but just as importantly for cementing in your own mind that medicine and you fit well together - someone vomiting or bleeding on your shoes is a good way of finding out whether your desire to help people burns brightly enough to tolerate the sometimes downright dirty and depressing aspects of working with people who are ill or hurt!
Personally I didn't re-take A levels as I was happy with the range of med school options that the GAMSAT opened up, and was happy to get up to a decent level of science understanding through other routes.
If you haven't already been to medschoolsonline, they have a good chart to show what medical schools would consider you with an arts degree and A level chemistry. I think it would open up Cambridge and maybe a few others, though you'd also need another entrance exam as they don't use GAMSAT.
I recall Swansea state a criterion of requiring some level of post-GCSE science study, but I do not know if this specifically has to be A levels or whether self-taught or evening classes would be sufficient. The best people to ask are of course the admissions team at that medical school.
I hope that helps, and best of luck.

Also, look out for the unis that use UKCAT and don't require a science degree....eg, Newcastle. I did both UKCAT and GAMSAT and in my opinion UKCAT was a walk on the park compared to GAMSAT.
Get as much variety as you can in a care setting. It doesn't need to be in a medical setting. I've worked in learning disabilities, with children, mental health, all sorts and it gave me a truly informed decision as to whether, at the age of 40, I was doing the right thing.
Good luck in your quest.

Thank you for your kind replies!
Mr J, how did you find GAMSAT? How much revision did you do, and with what materials? From what I can gather, I think I'd be able to smash Sections I & II, but III looks positively terrifying. I think it's doable, but it'd be such a long slog. Not that that puts me off - a little fear is better than a lot off regret, right? That is my motto at the moment. How did the process go for you - and where are you studying, if you don't mind me asking? I think Notts would be my first choice - it's closet to home, cheap to live in Derby and I have a friend who's a medic there already and loves it. But to be honest I'd go anywhere that'd take me!
Scottydoc - I looked at Newcastle, but the entrance guidelines were extremely vague. I see they use UKCAT, which I have heard is a lot easier, but do they favour science grads? Maybe it'd be worth dropping them a line?
I'm considering having a year out, then coming home and spending a year at home doing AS Chem & Bio, and the GAMSAT. Working part time as care assistant, volunteering and everything, and then applying with these qualifications in hand - to strengthen my app at places like Newc/show commitment to science for Swansea. I hope that sounds good!
Thank you so much for your help. It's really, really useful and encouraging
Probably not an option due to funding issues but Bristol do a 6-year course and I know someone with a History degree who did it that way. You'd have everything you need right now to apply there with no extra study.
Year 4 of 5. Definitely feel like I'm on the home straight now... must. keep. going!
Wife, mother (6 and 4 years old) and Med Student - yay!

Newcastle will take graduates of all disciplines. I'm starting there in September and know of at least three non science graduates that are starting with me.
Newcastle don't look at A levels but they do require a high UKCAT score. I think the graduate cut off this year was around the 700 mark.
The good thing about UKCAT is that you know tour score before you submit your application so you can tailor your choices accordingly.
I would seriously consider Newcastle if I were you, its got a fantastic reputation, its cheap and the city is so friendly.
As for sitting A levels, to be honest I wouldn't bother. It's hard to explain but you could do the A level syllabus til the cows come home and still not do well in Section 3 of GAMSAT. It's more about understanding concepts and just basically practicing as many questions as you can. Section 2 isn't as straight forward as you think but there is plenty of guidance out there to help.
Taking A-levels would indeed be a waste of time. From all the Graduate Entry Programmes you can choose from with your degree, only Soton and Cambridge would consider any new science A-levels. Cambridge usually asks for 3 x As and Soton is something of a lottery admissions process. As it stands now you can apply to Notts, SGUL, and Swansea (GAMSAT) and Kings + Newcastle (UKCAT). Get a years worth of paid work experience and you can apply to Leicester (UKCAT) too.
When universities state they accept any degree then (from experience) there is no prejudice for or against certain degree types. The degree is simply a tick in the box at application, once you are at the interview it is your performance there that counts in almost all cases.
I can understand your desire to complete your masters (fully paid scholarship to Oxford - who wouldn't?) but it won't help your application to medicine in the slightest. The universities you are applying will be more interested in work experience. Just food for thought but scrapping the masters and getting a full time job in healthcare will most likely make for a stronger application. Normally I would advocate the slow and steady approach to applying to medicine - that's what I did. However, with student funding constantly under review (and unlikely to improve), you might find an earlier application to be beneificial.
The GAMSAT result is valid for two years and can also be taken in March. You could take GAMSAT this year and if you get a good score, use it in next years application. Knowing you have an adequate GAMSAT score can be a huge help in making your uni choices in October.
Good luck!Warwick (GEP) 2012 entry.

Mr J, how did you find GAMSAT? How much revision did you do, and with what materials? From what I can gather, I think I'd be able to smash Sections I & II, but III looks positively terrifying. I think it's doable, but it'd be such a long slog. Not that that puts me off - a little fear is better than a lot off regret, right? That is my motto at the moment. How did the process go for you - and where are you studying, if you don't mind me asking?

In a nutshell I started by finding a dozen or so example questions free online to get a feel for the style, then used a decent chemistry textbook (Holbrook & Hill's Chemistry in Context) and went through it thoroughly in the few months running up to the exam. This gave a good grounding in chemistry to take into medical school, rather than simply learning trivia to pass the exam. I have a (slightly elderly) biology A level so used an A level revision guide (GCP's) rather than a full bio textbook - mostly to refamiliarise with key terminology and concepts. For physics I trawled the internet finding key equations rather than trying to nail the underlying concepts - time was not on my side by then.
Halfway through my revision I used one of the official practice exams (just the half exam, not the full one) to test progress, and sat another one about 3 weeks before the actual GAMSAT to see how things had come on.
Like you I was confident in sections I and II so only did the practice exam questions for section I and refreshed my memory on a simple for/against essay structure. There is no time in the exam to write a beautiful essay but they mark accordingly - just finish it is my advice.
My recollection on the day was that timing is the biggest factor. It is exhausting trying to get through the sections in the time allowed - this feels intentional though as the exam tries to get you to breaking point. Remembering that was a useful device for remaining calm and focused.
The other element that I found slightly uncomfortable was that it is impossible to map how practice exam performance equates to the score that ACER calculates for the real thing, as they do not use direct % scores. I.e. 50% in practice doesn't necessarily mean you'll get 50 in the real thing. It's a very different approach to say A levels where you know beforehand roughly what level you are working at.
I'm not studying yet but start at Swansea this September.
Re Profanius' as always excellent advice above, I'd just repeat my note about Swansea stating a need for some post GCSE science. Worth checking with them beforehand to confirm what would be acceptable and whether it's an absolute requirement or a 'nice to have'.
Sage advice! I'd definitely agree with checking with the admissions department of a Uni before embarking on anything or even thoughts of anything.
Swansea do seem to stipulate post-GCSE chemistry and biology experience, and it looks like it's a must-have. Either way it's good to tick all the boxes. A-levels would suit this criteria but there might be cheaper and easier alternatives. A short OU science course might fit the bill instead, or local college course that isn't necessarily A-level eg. BTEC. It's usually the exam fees and the mandatory practicals which drive up the cost. Best to contact Swansea and see what they accept and weigh this against an application to King's or NCL.Warwick (GEP) 2012 entry.

Thank you so much for all your advice. I might reconsider the A Levels... Hmm, will have to have a think. I had thought about skipping the master's, but I don't feel I can justify giving up such a great opportunity (and since it's Oxford it'll only take 9 months). Completely see the point about the funding though, it is something I'm very worried about. I'm going to have to take my chances... I have been living at home and saving over the past year - thinking I might need to fund postgrad study - and luckily scholarship means this hard earned chunk of cash can remain in my ISA!
But really, thanks again. I told my best friend today I was thinking of medicine. I thought she'd tell me I was mad, but was very supportive. It's amazing how a few words of encouragement from strangers on the Internet can realy make this mammoth task seem so much more achievable. Your kindness is much appreciated.

Charleston Southern University was scheduled to dedicate its Christian Leadership Building Wednesday morning.
The 26,500-square-foot facility houses the CSU Center for Christian Leadership, classrooms, conference space, a resource and research center and offices for the School of Christian Studies, the history and political science department, the criminal justice department and the Dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.
"We envisioned a critical need for a signature building to house our Center for Christian Leadership more than a decade ago," said CSU President Dr. Jairy C. Hunter Jr. "The dedication of our new Christian Leadership Building will be a dream come true to the CSU family.
"This state-of-the-art conference center will be a global resource to anyone seeking information and guidance on Christian leadership principles."
The University will dedicate expansions to Derry Patterson Wingo Hall, which houses the College of Nursing and Allied Health, Friday, Oct. 11 at 9 a.m., and the Hunter Reception Center Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 9 a.m.
In addition to these new facilities, Charleston Southern has opened an Athletics Center, a softball press box, and the school added lights to the baseball field in the last year.

The dough:
1 cup of warm water, 1 1/2 tsp dry yeast, 1 Tbs honey.
When bubbly add:
2 1/2-3 cups flour (mixed whole wheat and white, or just white), 1 1/2 tsp salt.
Knead 10-15 minutes (I mix mine using the electric mixer fit with the dough blade and let it run for about 5 minutes adding water or flour depending on what is needed to form a ball.) Cover, and set in a warm place to rise until doubled in size. About an hour. (Prepare filling while dough rises.)
The filling:
1/2 lb ricotta cheese, 2 TBLS minced fresh onion, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, a couple spoonfuls of marinara. You can add any veggies you have sauteed. Add a bunch of garlic if you like, too. Really, anything goes.
Punch down the risen dough and form into a ball. Divide into 8 sections and roll out in rounds 1/4 inch thick. Fill with 1/2 cup filling on one half of the circle, leaving a 1/2 inch rim. Moisten the rim with water, fold the empty side over and crimp the edge with a fork. Prick the top. Bake on an oiled cookie sheet in an oven that has been pre-heated to 450˚ for 15-20 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned. Brush each pastry with a little butter as it emerges from the oven.
We don't have school tomorrow due to the cold temperatures. I can't wait to be stuck in the house with some yarn, the kids and the oven!

A creative whirlwind has moved into Summerville and is influencing the art scene in various ways.
Robert Hazelip, an actor and owner of Impact Creative Arts Academy, moved to Summerville with his wife Jen and their three kids two years ago with dreams of contributing to the creative arts.
Since moving to Summerville the Hazelips have used their acting resources and talents to open a creative arts school, Impact Creative Arts Academy. Impact was opened in March earlier this year on Old Trolley Road. The building was originally a dance studio, a layout Hazelip took advantage of. According to Hazelip it was his dream to combine the creative artsdance, acting, singing, and filmtogether.
The name Impact was a word that always stuck with Hazelip, and was also the name of the company he worked for in New York. The word has an effect, Hazelip said.
The parents and other individuals interested in Impact have been supportive of Hazelip and his actions in the community: Everything is organized chaos right now...but the feedback has been phenomenal.
Throughout the months of June, July and August, Hazelip and his associates will be hosting several summer camps through the academy such as a Television Acting Camp, Pop Star Camp, Princess Camp and others.
A fall curriculum is in the works, but nothing has been finalized yet. According to Hazelip, the idea of a homeschooling program mixed with the creative arts is also a future possibility. Although Impact seems more catered towards children with its summer camps, there are also classes for adults interested in the creative arts.
Hazelip has lived between New York and Los Angeles ever since he was 19 years old, working at 4 World Trade Center by day and auditioning for roles by night. During his time in New York he attended college courses and studied theater before moving to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career in television.
He is listed on the popular film website, IMDB, under his stage name, Robert Forrest. The name is a combination of his and his fathers first name, which he adopted because of constant mispronunciation. On the site, readers can view his list of performances in shows such as Law and Order: Criminal Intent, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Saved by the Bell, among others.
Hazelips passion for acting developed when he was a child, moving around with his family.
I developed an ear for dialects, he said, and an interest in human behavior that he believes contributed to his acting career.
It was during his time in Los Angeles acting and waiting tables that Hazelip met his wife Jen, a fellow actor. After the fall of the World Trade Centers the two missed the East Coast and married before leaving Los Angeles.
The two lived in New Jersey for some time, building a family but desired a change. New Jersey wasnt the place they wanted to raise our children, Hazelip said. Two years ago the family moved to South Carolina and hasnt looked back.
In accordance with his new business, Hazelip has also found time to continue his acting career in Summerville. Hazelip is currently starring in a Piccolo Spoleto play Johny Duke Left as the main role, Tucker Simmons. The play opened last week and will conclude June 5. The play, which is 90 minutes long, is a good Lowcountry comedy we can appreciate, Hazelip said.
He called the performance his Lowcountry theatrical debut and cited the thriving arts scene in Charleston and Summerville as a help in launching his acting career and business. The art community is so supportive.
He said Summerville is full of talent and everyone can benefit from a class in creative arts.
Hazelip said that he wants to use his resources as an actor and coach to help people in the industry here in Summerville.
Everyone can get something out of it.

RaceJoy app to make Ohio debut at Glass City MarathonWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
A new app developed by a company with Northwest Ohio connections will make its Ohio debut at the Medical Mutual Glass City Marathon on April 27.
The app, called RaceJoy, was released about a year ago by Altamonte Springs, Fla.-based developer TriPerta, based on the personal experiences of owners James and Shelly Harris as both athletes and spectators.
"James used to do triathlons and Ironmans and I'd be out there with the kids all day trying to cheer him on," Shelly said. "It can be very tiring for the spectator and stressful. We wanted something that could let us know where the other was and ways to connect in with each other."
Shelly's mother moved to the Toledo area for a job and now her parents and several siblings call Maumee and Holland home.
The app also offers course and parking maps, Expo information and race progress updates, which can be automatically posted to social media.
"Ninety-eight percent of the app is free, provided by the Glass City Marathon for participants and spectators. Everything you want to know about the race is in there," Shelly said.
"You get results within moments of crossing the finish line," she said. "It's very instantaneous."
A 99-cent upgrade called Phone Fun can use the GPS technology in a smartphone to track a runner's progress. If the runner is carrying his or her phone, a spectator can watch the runner's progression along the route in real time.
"Some tools are estimators. With this, you'll see them actually move on the course," Shelly said.
The tracking feature is also expected to be helpful to relay runners since the app gives a "proximity alert" when a specific runner is nearby, Shelly said.
Another popular feature of the Phone Fun upgrade is the ability to send runners an "audio cheer."
"There will be thousands of those going out on race day," she said.
Audio alerts is a new Phone Fun feature debuting during the Glass City Marathon, Shelly said. As runner s cross a timing mat, their phones will announce the mile mark, pace and estimated finish time so they don't have to look down at their phones, she said.
The Harrises have both run the Glass City Marathon's half-marathon. They will be at this year's pre-race Expo, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. April 26 at University of Toledo's Savage Arena, to answer questions. The Expo is open to the public and will feature more than 40 vendors.
Record registrants
More than 7,000 people are registered for Glass City Marathon events — a record number of participants, said sixth-year Race Director Clint McCormick. The half-marathon and five-person marathon relay events have been sold out for weeks, the relay for the first time. A course change to the final three miles of the half-marathon allowed organizers to increase the number of runners from 2,500 to 3,000. Even with the increase, the half-marathon sold out faster than last year, he said.
McCormick said he's excited about the new app. Recipients of the text alerts the race has used the past few years often reported delayed delivery, he said.
"Reliability was a big factor and the text messaging was really a one-way communication. The app provides more information at the fingertips of the user," McCormick said.
Economic impact
The Glass City Marathon supports several charities, including the Toledo Roadrunners. Last year's marathon raised between $100,000 and $140,000, McCormick said.
"It's our signature event of the year," he said. "It helps us fund all the other races of the year. So the success of this event is really critical to the events for the rest of the year."
An economic impact study done by a UT professor last year found almost half the marathon and half-marathon registrants came from outside Northwest Ohio, mainly southeast Michigan and Ontario, Canada, and that the event accounted for more than $600,000 of increased regional economic activity.
Organizers are encouraging participants and spectators to use the hashtag #RunToledo. For more information and to check road closures, visit www.glasscitymarathon.org.
Sarah Ottney will run this year's Medical Mutual Glass City Marathon as a member of a five-person relay team.

Darell Hammond read a Washington Post article about children who suffocated while playing in an abandoned car because they had nowhere else to play. Willy Foote met vanilla farmers in Mexico who didn't have access to credit and couldn't connect to markets. Sara Horowitz was working at a lawyer, didn't qualify for health insurance because she was considered a "freelancer," and started thinking about other people who faced the same problem. While working in Argentina, Linda Rottenberg wondered why more Latin American entrepreneurs didn't create global companies.
And then– unlike millions of us who recognize some kind of problem, feel a pang of hopelessness, and move on– Hammond, Foote and others shifted careers and set about fixing the problems they saw in the world.
For the first time in Forbes' 94-year history, we've assembled the Impact 30: a list of the world's leading social entrepreneurs. We're defining "social entrepreneur" as a person who uses business to solve social issues.
Take Jordan Kassalow, for example. An optometrist by training, Kassalow now runs an organization that sells ready-made reading glasses to people in the developing world. (Check out a longer profile here.)
Sam Goldman and Ned Tozun, of D.Light Design, manufacture inexpensive lamps and sell them in communities that don't have reliable electricity.
Tom Skazy dropped out of Princeton to create Terracycle, which sells fertilizer and over 250 products made from 60 waste streams.
Jane Chen's company manufactures a sleeping bag-like device called the "Thermpod," which warms low-birth weight babies in hospitals and clinics that have unreliable electricity and heat lamps that don't always work.
Some of the people on our list run nonprofits, so the market-based approach doesn't apply. But we've included them anyway, because they're creating innovative, new solutions to a host of old problems.
To select our list, we recruited a blue-ribbon panel of experts, including:

Ashley Agnew is the newest member of the Second Circuit Solicitor's Office, and she has a passion for prosecution.
A Southern lady who speaks with an accent usually associated with the barbecue joints she adores, Agnew has never wanted to practice any other type of law than criminal prosecution.
After graduating from Clemson University with an undergraduate degree in psychology, Agnew went on to the University of Georgia's School of Law in 2010.
The move to Athens, Ga., was the furthest the Greenville native had traveled, at that time.
Her goals in law have not shifted since her first visions of herself in a courtroom.
"Right now, I don't foresee anything other than prosecuting," she said. "I love it. I love my job, I love coming to work in the morning, and it never gets boring."
Agnew has always been drawn to criminal prosecution.
"I'll be honest. In law school, the rest of the law was pretty boring," she joked.
As a student with a specific goal of representing the people, Agnew lauded the Prosecutorial Clinic at UGA, which gave her hands-on experience while still studying.
"I had a great professor there that was a prosecutor before he came back to teach," she said. "He taught us how to prosecute a case from start to finish. He taught us how to be a good lawyer – as far as how to treat people – and we had the opportunity to intern in a prosecutor's office in Georgia."
After graduating, Agnew took her juris doctorate back to her home state and began working in the Eighth Circuit, prosecuting in Laurens and Newberry counties.
"We are very fortunate in Aiken to have the resources we have … we have investigators, we have paralegals. In Laurens, there is none of that, but I know it prepared me, because, if need be, I am able to do all of those things."
After two years in the Eighth Circuit, Agnew came to Aiken and the Second Circuit in August 2012 to work as the prosecutor of sex abuse cases.
She gives great credit to Aiken's Child Advocacy Center for helping her grasp the nuances of the sensitive area of victim advocacy.
"I pretty much walked in empty-handed and said, 'Help,' and they have been amazing," Agnew said.
With their vast experience in the area, the Child Advocacy Center has helped the newest assistant solicitor transition from a general criminal prosecutor to specializing in sex abuse cases.
"They know more about this than, probably, I ever will," she said. "Aiken is very fortunate to have the CAC. It is amazing to see them work with children in these circumstances."
Even with the backup of the CAC, Agnew readily admits that her specific area of focus is not an easy one, and not one you can switch off at the end of the work day.
"It definitely follows you home. I don't think you could be effective if it didn't stay with you," she said, before going on to talk of cases that don't come out the way the prosecution hopes.
"It's definitely something that weighs on you, especially when you get a not-guilty verdict when you feel you've done all you can on the case and for the victim," she said. "But you just return the next day and look at all the other files on your desk and all the other victims you have to represent, and you move on."
Helping the office move forward are the two senior prosecutors – Solicitor Strom Thurmond Jr. and his No. 2, Bill Weeks.
"I feel like I should follow both of them around with a note pad at all times," Agnew said of her bosses. "They are both wonderful examples, and I really couldn't be happier to work for anybody else."
Obviously important to Agnew is the idea of a lawyer being more than just a prosecutor in the courtroom. An idea that Thurmond and Weeks portray masterfully, she said.
"It is amazing watching them," she said. "I don't just learn about law, I learn about being a lawyer and how to treat people, how to treat defense attorneys and people on the street. Learning that there is more to being a lawyer than knowing the law, getting up and speaking in the courtroom. They both couldn't be better examples of that."

So I was looking at Apple TV and realized that this is the perfect living room audio jukebox, with auto syncing to iTunes (unlike Squeezebox which only streams). But it only outputs via HDMI or component video, and my tv is way too old for that. Anyone have ideas on how to CHEAPLY convert component to S-Video or composite? I don't really care about video quality, I just want to see the menus to select music.
Journal Journal: Ask the faithful remnant: Bluetooth headsets for concalls?
So I am on a lot of conference calls. Like 3-4 per day. And I often take these calls from a mobile phone (Treo) with a bluetooth headset. (Current one is from Plantronics, nothing fancy.)
Is there a headset that someone has built that is specifically optimized for conference calls? By which I mean, one with a one button or one motion mute? With the treo I have to use an on screen button to mute, which is a big pain when walking or driving. (Of course the headset has some weird option involving holding down a button or something, but that does not work if I can't look at it.)
Any ideas?

Police seek ID of robbery suspect
Authorities have released a photo of the man who, according to Aiken Public Safety, allegedly robbed the Huddle House on Richland Avenue early Monday morning.
A man walked into the restaurant about 2:30 a.m. on Monday and told employees he was armed, though he never presented a weapon, police said. The man fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money from the cash register.
The suspect is described as a black male wearing a dark gray hooded sweatshirt, a red T-shirt and light gray sweatpants.
One employee was struck in the mouth but did not require transportation to a medical facility, police said.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call CrimeStoppers of the Midlands at 1-888-CRIME-SC. Callers may remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.
Woman detained for shoplifting
A 19-year-old Aiken woman was detained for shoplifting on Monday after she allegedly stole from several stores inside the Aiken Mall, according to Aiken Public Safety.
Kamiryn Alexis Machulis, of Evans Road, admitted to shoplifting from several stores in the mall after an employee of one store stopped her when she allegedly tried to leave the store with a pair of earrings without paying, according to a report. Employees from three other stores later came and reclaimed items that Machulis allegedly took.
Only one of the stores wanted to press charges against Machulis, according to the report.
Drug paraphernalia found during search
A search for comforters stolen from an Aiken motel on Monday led to the discovery of drug paraphernalia, according to Aiken Public Safety.
The four suspects allegedly left a room at a motel on Richland Avenue on Monday, and housekeeping discovered the comforters were missing from the room, according to a report. Three of the suspects were later located at another Richland Avenue motel.
Officers found three bags "in the area the suspects were located," according to the report. None of the suspects claimed the bags, but one of them said the bags belonged to the fourth suspect, who reportedly walked off before officers arrived.
The three suspects denied taking the comforters and said they were on the beds when they left the room, according to the report. They were then placed on trespass notice for the motel.
Officers seized the abandoned bags and placed them into evidence, according to the report. While inventorying the bags, officers found a digital scale commonly used to weigh drugs, a Snus can containing small plastic bags, a razor and two small straws with a white residue on them.
The bags also contained a prescription bottle with the name of the fourth suspect on it, clothing and hygiene items, according to the report.
Men charged after chase with ADPS
The Aiken Department of Public Safety has released the charges levied against three men who allegedly led officers on a chase after shots were fired in an Aiken neighborhood Monday afternoon.
Kentrell Brown, 22, of Augusta, has been charged with trafficking crack cocaine, unlawful carrying of a pistol, possession of a stolen pistol, failure to stop for blue lights and no driver's license, according to a statement.
Rodriquz Jackson, 21, of Aiken, was charged with trafficking crack cocaine, unlawful carrying of a pistol and possession of a stolen pistol.
Rashawn Carter, 23, of Augusta, was charged with trafficking crack cocaine, unlawful carrying of a pistol and possession of a stolen pistol. Carter was also served two outstanding bench warrants for no S.C. driver's license and no vehicle license.
All three men were placed in the Aiken County detention center, where they remained Tuesday afternoon.
Officers heard gunfire from Pinecrest Avenue just after 5 p.m. on Monday and saw a white four-door Chevrolet Malibu fleeing the area, police said. Police activated their emergency lights and siren to stop the car but the suspect vehicle continued down the road, so a pursuit began.
The chase went through the Central Business District and ended at the intersection of Plunkett Avenue and Laurens Street, police said. The suspects were apprehended, and officers found firearms and drugs inside the vehicle.
The Aiken County Sheriff's Office is still investigating the shooting in the Pinecrest neighborhood. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call CrimeStoppers of the Midlands at 1-888-CRIME-SC. Callers can remain anonymous and could be eligible for a cash reward of up to $1,000.

How to jailbreak your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch on iOS 6.0 or 6.1 with evasi0n
It's that time of year again, jailbreak time! The new evasi0n jailbreak is compatible with any device running iOS 6 or higher, including the just released iOS 6.1. Yep, even the iPhone 5 and iPad mini are supported and completely untethered.
If you aren't sure how to jailbreak using evasi0n, follow along and we'll guide you through!
Before starting, you'll need to download the evasi0n jailbreak software to your Mac, PC, or Linux desktop. Make sure you save it somewhere that you can easily access it.
Once you've downloaded evasi0n from the site, you can proceed on...
- Mac users will need to right click and then click open if you're running OS X Mountain Lion to bypass the built-in software security.
- Next Mac users will see another popup asking if they'd like to confirm they'd like to open the software from an unknown developer. Simply click on Open.
- evasi0n will now ask you to plug in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if you haven't already.
- It will now recognize your device. Now click on the Jailbreak button.
- Let evasi0n do it's thing. It'll then ask you to unlock your device and tap on the Jailbreak icon. Make sure you only do this one time. You'll find it somewhere on your Home screen.
- Give evasi0n a few more seconds and you're jailbreak should now be complete. Just click on the Exit button or close out evasi0n on your computer.
Remember, after a large release jailbreak like this, you may experience issues with Cydia running slow. This is very typical of a new jailbreak since the servers get hit hard. If you can't update Cydia or access everything right away, it'll pass as soon as the initial rush is over, which will leave you to enjoy your jailbreak once again!

How to jailbreak your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch on iOS 6.0 or 6.1 with evasi0n
I can't wait to get home and jail break my iPhone5. It has been dying for BiteSMS, SBSettings, MiFi, and Activator.
Love my job, since I've been bringing in $5600… I sit at home, music playing while I work in front of my new iMac that I got now that I'm making it online.(Click Home information)
$5,600?? I am tired of being an OTR TRUCK DRIVER. I would be happy just to make $2,500 a month
EDIT.. I had a work profile installed which was forcing the password requirement. Removed the profile and all is well.
Anyone encountered any issues turning off back-up encryption in iTunes? I back up via the iCloud but got an error message in the evasi0n program telling me to turn of passwords in iTunes. So I tried switching to pc backup so that I could turn off the encryption however it is "greyed out" and I can't turn it off. I tried changing the password and this hasn't helped either. I'm working with Windows 7 and with the latest iTunes .
are all the old tweaks and programs compatible with this new Jailbreak?
That's my worst fear.. I love my 64gb Mini.. and it's as smooth as silk.. I have an Android phone and love the customization aspect of Android but, you have Launchers that have the ability to speed transistions up after Rooting it should you need to.. the only one I have heard of here is speed intensifier I have not jailbroken yet and I am in no rush to do so until I do a full analysis to see what the side effects of this JB are.. If speed intensifier can't help you I wish you luck in going back to 5.1.. If you saved your Blobs you should be good from what I understand..
thx. i think i am sol in that department. I didnt know about saving the blobs back them. i just updated to iOS 6 the very next day, little did I know that there was a small window where you could downgrade but I already passed that.
I've explored rooting and it seems more people, at least on XDA are moving away from rooting and going to custom ROMS instead. Unlike with Jailbreaking, the rooting and custom rom installation is a lot more complicated. Not something I am prepared to do.
GoLauncher for android works well, but it still can't remove the lagginess of the OS, even on the pure Android device, Asus Nexus 7. In my opinion, iOS' silkiness is 10x better than any Android device. Judging from Google's attitude, I doubt it will ever be better than what we have now.
Hey Spaz.. yes.. you have to Root to run a custom ROM on Android.. I have a Galaxy Note 1 and the stock setup had so much lag it was scary.. I rooted and have been running overclocked Custom Roms/Kernels for some time now.. its not that hard there is a learning curve just like the terms here for jailbreaking are a learning curve for me on this my 1st Apple device.. and yes.. I swear by Go Laucher EX :-) Nova is pretty cool as well.. But I am not going to JB if it means having the experience you are unfortunetely having.. That would spoil everything for me.. I guess I won't know til I try with the few apps I would download/buy just to have a little more customization with Apple.. Having a fully modified Android Phone makes it a little tuff not to have ANY flexability with iOS :-) can't you just stay stock at 6.1? That would eliminate the lagging.
I might think about installing a custom ROM for my Nexus once Google stops offering updates, probably this year. Until then, I'll keep things stock. My Touch is now my guinea pig or test device. It's 64 GB and has my music and large apps. I shouldn't have updated to 6.1 because it was really snappy on 5.1. It's night and day difference with iOS 6. It's actually quite annoying to use at times. I'll just use it as an MP3 player, nothing more. I don't dare try to make VOIP calls since it won't be able handle it, unlike before 6.x.
After the JB and update, at most, I have 25 MB of RAM out of the 250 MB available that comes with the device. With 5.1, I had between 80-100 MB available. Clearly, iOS 6 and Cydia is eating virtually all my RAM.
Now, with my iPhone 5, it's only 16 GB, I thought about jbing it, but not now. No need to especially since the talk is that is will be the last JB being made.
With my iPhone 5, it's quite snappy. I've learned from my last mistake with the Touch. I have to be very very careful when updating my iOS on my devices. I think I am good for this year, at least. After the first few versions of iOS 7 arrive (depending on the features and fixes) I'll be done updating the iOS on the iPhone 5.
After jailbreaking and installing BiteSMS, I tried re-booting my phone to make sure it would reboot untethered. It just sat at the apple logo for 20 minutes. Ended up having to put the phone in recovery mode, and do a full restore. Haven't tried the jailbreak again as I'm travelling today and can't risk not having a working device.
Anyone else run into this or know what's up?
Hey is there a TMobile Unlock Out yet? My buddy not knowing anything just upgraded to IOS 6.1 which killed her phone :( I can do the jailbreaking part very easily but I've never done a SIM unlock yet. Do I just jailbreak and then find a SIM unlock program from Cydia? Please help, thanks.
I was so excited for this but it slowed my Iphone 5 down and froze it every few minutes....
I had to add most of the sources I used before and when I did they couldnt work right....
Ill wait until the bugs are worked out
Cydia is returning to normal. Paid/licensed apps are showing, free ones are installing. I'm trying to not abuse it too much right now though.
Did you receive the update to evasi0n untether in Cydia? What is your cydia account tied to? I used Google for mine and everything appeared/is working just fine.
Is there a jailbreak for iOS 6.1.3 yet?

AM (Amplitude Modulation)
The primary method for radio broadcasting until the 1960s, when FM was introduced. An AM radio signal is broadcast at a constant frequency, with slightly varying strengths that alter the length of the carrier wave. Those changes in signal power, or modulation of amplitude, contain the station's audio signal. AM stations broadcast between 535 kilohertz (KHz) and 1700 KHz. AM signals are more susceptible to atmospheric interference than FM, and are of a lower fidelity.
Analog signal
The standard method for broadcasting in AM and FM. The carrier wave is modulated in a way that mirrors the source signals. As the music gets louder, for example, an AM wave increases in power, while an FM wave moves to a higher frequency. Atmospheric can interfere with analog signals, slightly altering the content. This results in a slight hiss often heard in the background, and — in the case of electrical storms — crackle and bursts of static. The physical environment can also cause interference, creating multipath distortion.
The range of frequencies that a station is assigned to broadcast in by the FCC. Bandwidth is measured in kilohertz in the AM range, and megahertz in the FM. It's also used to identify a station's position on the radio dial.
Carrier wave
The radio wave that's modified to include a signal. In the case of AM transmission, the carrier wave's power is changed, or modulated. For FM broadcasts, the carrier wave's frequency is altered. Stations are assigned a bandwidth for their carrier waves.
Digital audio broadcasting
A radio wave comprised of digital information that is decoded by a compatible radio receiver into sound. Because the receivers read only the digital code, and ignore fluxuations in either the amplitude and frequency of the carrier wave, content is unaffected by atmospheric conditions, or subject to multipath distortion.
FM (Frequency Modulation)
A radio signal broadcast at a constant amplitude, with slight variations in frequency. These frequency differences carry the station's audio signal. FM stations broadcast between 88 megaherz (MHz) and 108 MHz. Because the strength (or amplitude) of the FM signal is constant, they are less susceptible to atmospheric interference than AM signals. It also allows the FM signal to carry more information. Most stations prefer to broadcast music in FM as it sounds fuller, and more readily allows for stereo separation.
HD Radio™
iBiquity Digital Corporation's trademarked name for digital audio broadcasting. Although often misused, the term "HD Radio" is a trademarked brand name and does not stand for "High Definition Radio."
The term most commercial stations are using for the secondary digital audio broadcast channel. When the signal is divided for #multicasting the primary digital signal, sometimes known as HD1, duplicates the programming the station broadcasts as its main analog signal. The HD2 channel contains different programming not heard on the analog signal; it can only be received by HD Radios.
Short for the iBiquity Digital Corporation. iBiquity owns the technology that is now the United State's #iboc standard for digital audio broadcasts. It licenses the use of this technology, called HD Radio to broadcasters and electronic and radio equipment manufacturers.
IBOC (In Band On Channel)
The digital audio broadcasting standard adopted for the United States. Its name stems from the kind of signal being broadcast. IBOC signals use the same AM and FM bandwidth as a station's analog signal ("in band"). The digital information is contained within the station's signal, ("on channel").
iTunes® Tagging
A process that lets you select the song you're listening to for purchase at a later time. iTunes tagging requires a docking iPod; an audio/video component that includes an HD Radio tuner, iPod dock and "Tag" button; and a tagging-enabled HD Radio signal. When you hear a song you like, press the "Tag" button, and the component will store the song information (but not the song) in its memory. When you dock your iPod to the component, it will transfer all your saved tags to the iPod. The next time you sync your iPod to your computer, the tagged songs will appear as a list in iTunes. They then can be purchased through the iTunes store. You can also tag songs directly through the tuner in a 5th generation iPod nano®.
Subdividing the digital audio portion of a radio station's signal to send out different kinds of programming simultaneously. A multicasting station could, for example, broadcast Top 40 programming as their analog and primary digital format, while multicasting an additional digital-only channel for Oldies, and a third digital channel for News/Talk.
Multipath Distortion
When parts of the same radio wave arrive at a receiver at different times. On its way from the transmitter to receiver, a radio wave can encounter obstacles such as tall buildings. These obstructions delay the arrival of part of the wave to the antenna. The result is slight distortion of the sound. This can be especially noticeable with stereo FM signals, where it may cause one channel to be slightly out of sync with the other.
RDS (Radio Data System)
The standard for sending digital text information along with an analog FM signal. The RDS feed usually contains information such as station IDs and slogans, which display on compatible radio receivers.
Song Tagging
A process that lets you select the song you're listening to for purchase at a later time. Song tagging requires a Zune HD player and a tagging-enabled HD Radio signal. As you listen to an HD Radio station through the Zune, you can press a button and "tag" songs you like for later purchase. The Zune stores the song information (but not the song) in its memory. The next time you sync your Zune to your computer, the tagged songs will appear as a list in Zune Music Store. They then can be purchased through the store, and downloaded to your computer.

Three days in the books and Venus Williams is the lone American left standing in singles competition of the 2014 Family Circle Cup.
Just a day after escaping the opening round in three sets, No. 11 seeded Williams fended off Chanelle Scheepers of South Africa, 7-5, 7-5, Wednesday afternoon to earn her bid into the round of 16.
Scheepers jumped out to a 5-3 lead in the first set before Williams battled back to take the next four games for the win. Williams fell behind 40-0 in the 11th game and 30-0 in the 12th game but was able to rally back in both games off of Scheepers' mistakes.
Williams appeared drained between sets as she laid slouched deep into the bench under an umbrella. She's been battling sickness throughout the week and cited experience as key in overcoming some of the challenges on the court.
"I'm having a lot of ups and downs in the matches, a lot of errors are pulling together," Williams said. "The good part is that I'm having to fight out of these situations so it's making me tough."
Scheepers got off to another strong start in the second set and looked ready to force a tiebreaker with an early 4-2 lead. But Williams again charged back to tie the set at 4-4, and again at 5-5, before taking the next two games and the match as Scheepers sent the final shot sailing out of bounds.
"(Scheepers) was playing so well, but the good thing is when I get behind I give even more effort and get even more focused," Williams said. "I've been playing well from behind lately which is something you really have to do to win big matches."
Williams advances to face No. 6 seed Eugenie Bouchard of Canada Thursday afternoon in a matchup of the final two North Americans. After a first-round bye, Bouchard defeated Alla Kudryavtseva, 6-2, 6-0, Tuesday.
Americans become scarce
Outside of Williams, five Americans combined to win just two sets in five losses throughout Wednesday's singles matches.
No. 5 seed Sloane Stephens fell, 6-4, 6-4, to Ukraine's Elina Svitolina. No. 15 seed Madison Keys lost in three sets, 6-1, 6-7, 7-6, to Shuai Peng of China.
Lauren Davis was defeated by No. 2 seed Jelena Jankovic, 6-0, 6-3. Vania King lost, 7-5, 4-5, 6-3, to No. 4 seed Sabine Lisicki. Grace Min fell to Daniela Hantuchova, 6-2, 6-3.
The No. 5-seeded team of Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears is still alive in doubles competition and will face Jankovic and Andrea Petkovic Thursday night.
