How to use multiple Apple ID's with one computer and iTunes
Many families share one computer and in turn, may back up and sync more than one iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with that one computer. If everyone in your household all shares the same Apple ID for purchases in iTunes, it's normally not an issue. But what if that's not the case and you all want your own Apple ID's for iTunes purchases and you don't want mom's cooking apps mixed in with dad's finance apps? As it happens, you can set iTunes up to separate Apple ID's quite easily.
It'll take a little bit of effort to set up but once you're done, none of your apps, music, tv shows, and movies will be intertwined nor require you to authorize all accounts in the same iTunes library. Here's how.
How to create a new iTunes library
First we'll need to create an iTunes library for each person that's using that computer by performing the following steps:
- Completely quit iTunes and make sure it is not running in the background. Now hold down either alt/option on your Mac or Shift on your PC and click to open iTunes again.
- You'll notice instead of opening, iTunes is now asking you to either create a new library or navigate to an existing one. Click on the Create Library... option.
- Now give it a name and choose where you want to save it at. For most people, the default Music folder is probably fine. After you've named it and selected where you want it to be located at, click on Save.
- You'll now be able to scan for media for the new library or you can just sign in to iTunes and bring everything down that you've previously purchased with your Apple ID if you'd like.
- Repeat this process and create a library for each person you'd like to have their own iTunes library to use with their own Apple ID.
How to switch between iTunes libraries
Now that you've set up an iTunes library for each person in your household, the rest is easy. You can easily switch between the libraries in just a few taps.
- Completely quit iTunes and make sure it is not running in the background. Now hold down either alt/option on your Mac or Shift on your PC and click to open iTunes just like you did to create your libraries.
- Instead of creating one, this time you'll select the option for Choose Library....
- Navigate to the library you'd like to use and select Open.
- That's it. You can close out iTunes when you're done and the next person can do the same thing and open their own iTunes library.
This process will allow each person to have their own personalized library that isn't filled with stuff they don't use by other people who use that same computer. That means your own apps, music, tv shows, music, and other media types that you purchase will only filter into your library, not everyone else's - as long as you're using your own Apple ID's.

How to use multiple Apple ID's with one computer and iTunes
You can place the music/app/video files into a shared folder. Step by step instructions: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1203
This will be the easiest option. :)
Allyson, is this the only option for multiple iPhone users to have their own iCloud storage or is there another way for multiple Apple ID's to share one iTunes account?
Really? That's what you pulled out of that?! I am a female with finance apps and cooking apps. I was making an easy to comprehend point. Wow. Just wow.
Yeah, I picked that up too. How hard would it have been to change that from a mom/dad comparison to a parent/child?
Thanks! I've been pulling out hairs trying to figure this out... Apple's article mentioned this, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1495, but didn't mention Apple IDs, which really confused me.
Whoa, this article could land some users in never never land. It works as described unless iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads are enabled.
In those cases, the Mac is treated as a single user device much the same as iOS devices are, and switching from one AppleID to another triggers a 90 day lockout on the previous ID. This holds true if you use multiple iTunes libraries under one user account, multiple user accounts on the same hardware, or different boot drives on the same CPU.
See this tech note for a partial explanation: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
"Partial" because Apple has published conflicting tech notes about this topic and does not explicitly denote the differences between "classic" iTunes and iTunes in the cloud.
Robert is correct. My hubby and I use a single computer and two separate iTunes accounts, and if we log in and purchase music, it all goes into a single library. We prefer it this way, so that we can share some of our purchases without any hassle. However, when he recently purchased an album on his iPad and wanted to transfer the music to his iPod nano, it proved impossible. We would normally just log into his iTunes account and tell it to download any purchases. Nothing. Then I found the purchased album in iCloud, but it gave the '90 day lockout' error message when we attempted to download it to our computer. Talk about insanely Byzantine! If he had just purchased it via the computer, there would be no problem, but purchase on a mobile device and all bets are off. So now, he can't listen to his album on his nano because it doesn't have iCloud connectivity. This is crazy.
Hi Chapps.
Could you let me know how you have your setup done. My wife and I have just married and would like all our music to be in one library that either of us can put onto our iPhones. We each have our own Apple ID and have purchased music that we would like on both devices. Does this also work for pictures?
The big assumption this doesn't state is that this is for people sharing the same user account. Otherwise, if people sharing a computer have separate user accounts, each gets a separate music library by default as well as mail, contacts, calendars, etc. Enable fast user switching for convenience.
Not true at all. As Robert stated, once you have automatic app downloads enabled, which most people who are trying to utilize the convenience of the cloud do, it treats the machine individually, regardless of user accounts. Once you authorize on one user account, the other is disabled. Try to return it to the status quo and you are locked out for 90 days.
I understand the creating different libraries, what I don't understand is how the different ID's are associated to each library. We have a shared account. One person moved out and I need to give them their stuff, but retain my stuff, and It's a tad hostile, so I don't want them to have my apple ID information-since with it, they could access my account information and lock me out. I'd like to create their library and associate it to their NEW ID. Make sense?
Great article, but here's my peculiar problem: I needed to download the 'kindle for iOS' app onto my iPad, but it unfortunately isn't available to my country. Is there a way I can create another ID using a supported country (but still on the same device) so I can get the app? I really need to get some books in the kindle format from amazon and I can't afford the amazon kindle right now. Regards
I like to know what is going on here my mom has an iPod nano 6th generation & I have a 7th generation iPod nano & she has her apple id & I have my apple id but the problem is that when I log in with my apple id it shows all her music in my apple id why does it do that & how do I fix it so it doesn't do that
This is my major issue.. I have recently gotten a divorce and me and my oldest son decided to use the same accounts, etc. I was left the the oldest IPad...and am now using my bf"s older laptop.I'm used to using the latest technology and well, I'm sooo not... My Ipad is crashing on me so bad right now. The apps have been crashing(closing at random times), it keeps asking me for the Apple Id password for an OLD ACCOUNT. I had(thought) I had this all worked out but i do not.. I had my own ID until my son wanted to share Icloud accounts and Itune accounts so we could use the app, find my iphone... every 5 seconds it ask me to enter this password for the apple account and it isnt the right one..my ipad won't even keep my setting's app open long enough for me to work with it so I am forced to use this old laptop.. When the kids are here they never have time to help me with this issue and when I'm there with them at their dad's..I'm terrified that my things will sync or stream to his or I'm afraid to let him touch it bc he could have it fixed in a second. Yeah, he got all the good crap..He had NEVER touched a pc until meeting me and I was the computer wiz but he took over and I gladly let him take over that role... now he is a bit of a genius, as well as my kids, when it comes to this..me, not so much these days..Anyway, I went step by step on this site and when I made sure that Itunes wasn't running in the background and tried to do the SHIFT thing to pull up that screen, NOTHING! HELP ME PLEASE..I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT MY IPAD... My Iphone is perfect.. I did it with my son a while back before it was too late.. also my bf has his own Itunes on here..on this computer, if that is any help...
Thank you in advance,

It is a great case, but they really need a black and grey version -- they probably will eventually.
For now, the only black case has a pinkish shade for the rubberized part. Compared to other cases though, the edges grip the screen just right, others seem to slide around on the bezel.
I got a bling hard case on Ebay for 8.95 and the mgr at Radio Shack gave me a InvisiShield for giving them my business across from VZW.
I love the speck candy shell flip for iPhone 5. I don't have a dock yet but as soon as one is available I will be purchasing one and this case allows for easy docking. Also it provides a whole lot of protection with its snug rubbery interior and dense plastic exterior. Another favorite is the moshi iVisor anti glare screen protector. Zero bubbles andit can be removed, cleaned and reapplied over and over.
Love the new Otterbox Defender for iPhone 5. So much better than the previous version!
Loving my Spigen GLASt and my Switcheasy Nude case until Deff Japan release the Draco V.
BodyGuardz Armor Carbon Fiber Full Body is brilliantly textured. It gives me a great relief as it helps to get rid of scratches and scuffs in my iPhone 5. This is really worth enough.
the first video is using iphone 4... I'm assuming the cover works the same way on iPhone 5?
Spigen screen protector is mine. It actually offers full screen coverage unlike the Zagg ones.
Oh and my rocket fish slim case. Just dropped the phone and a little scratch on the case and the phone is fine. wheeeew
Cygnett aluminum urban shield is a great case!
The case adds barely any bulk to the iPhone5 (approx. 1mm) and the thinness of the case is of the utmost importance to me.
I was at the theme park and wished I had wireless charging.
It is hard to confirm the best iPhone 5 Accessories, but i often buy from my friend, the quality is OK, you can just try.
Amazing!! Highly Impressive accessories. In particular, SGP GLAS.t Premium Tempered Glass Screen Protector protects my iphone5 is a great news for me.......Thanks for sharing
Cooles and best iPhone accessory I ave bought is my Aktiv case from EDGE Design http://www.edge-design.com

Reclaiming Design
In a recent book review published in Christian Century, BioLogos content manager Jim Stump endeavors to reclaim the word "design."
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
In a recent book review published in Christian Century, BioLogos content manager Jim Stump endeavors to reclaim the word "design."
Some of the strongest evidence for the common ancestry of all life forms comes from genetics.
In common English usage, "theory" means something like "guess" or "hunch". In science, however, a theory is an idea that has stood the test of time.
Though the fossil record does not include every plant and animal that ever lived, it provides substantial evidence for the common descent of life via evolution. The fossil record is a remarkable gift for the study of nature.
The word evolution can be used in many ways, but in biology, it means descent with modification. In other words, small modifications occur at the genetic level (i.e. in DNA) when a new generation descends from its parents. Over many generations these modifications can result in significant differences from the ancestral population.
The more research that is done on DNA, the more evidence we find that all life is related.
Is evolution driven mainly by random genetic variation, or are there other factors at play? Michael Burdett reviews the scientific debate.
Many of this week's science links happen at the wondrous intersection of mystery and discovery.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Some people who brook no "god of the gaps" arguments anywhere else look to these three moments as more reasonable places to insert God into natural processes: God spoke matter/energy into existence, God made life out of lifeless matter, and God breathed a soul into human beings.
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.

The Kardashians
Do the Kardashians Live in New York?
Between the eight of them, the Kardashians have spent time living in places like Los Angeles, New York City, Miami, and Dallas — just to name a few. But what city does the family actually call home?
As it turns out, home base for the Kardashian family is in good ol' Calabasas, California, an affluent city outside Los Angeles. While Kris and Bruce Jenner live in their Calabasas mansion with teenage daughters Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Khloe Kardashian lives in a house of her own with her NBA hubby Lamar Odom and brother Rob Kardashian.
And while Kim and Kourtney Kardashian have been living in Miami for the past few months while filming Kourtney & Kim Take Miami and have spent time living in New York City filming yet another spin-off, both ladies have permanent homes in Los Angeles.
So to recap: if you're hoping to spot a Kardashian in his or her natural environment, book a plane ticket to the Golden State!

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
By Myndy Woodruff
Yikes! How did a nice little town like ours get involved with this monstrous sewer and water project? I think we have been led down the wrong path. We don't have any failed septic systems and our wells and springs produce pretty good water. Not too long ago, Waitsfield's population was twice what it is today. We had an agrarian economy with 19 blacksmiths and a brickyard. Water came from hillside springs and shallow wells. Sewage went into composting toilets, a.k.a. privies or outhouses. (Note to the Valley Rotary: You did not get it right. You need to dig a hole in the ground -- outhouses don't work well on frozen ponds.) Fast forward to today and find we have been led down a path that brings us to a $17 million sewer and water system for the Route 100 corridor.

How do I attach the GoPro Mount Adapter to a GoPro mount?
Last Updated 10/25/2012 7:40 pm
To attach your LifeProof'd iPhone to a GoPro mount, you'll need a LifeProof GoPro Mount Adapter which is secured to the GoPro mount with a thumb knob. Although the thumb knob is not included with the LifeProof GoPro Mount adapter, you should already have one that came with your GoPro mount.
If for some reason you do not have a thumb knob, you can order one as part of GoPro's Grab Bag of Mounts from their website along with many other mounts that are compatible with your LifeProof'd iPhone.

Altvater: Long live 'The King'Written by Fred Altvater | | email@example.com
Arnold Palmer will celebrate his 84th birthday Sept. 10 at his home in Latrobe, Pa.
Palmer brought professional golf onto television sets all across the land and drew working class America to the game of golf.
A cigarette dangling from his lips, a tug at the waist of his trousers and his "go for broke" style enamored men and women alike.
He bridged the gap between Sam Snead, Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan and brought golf into the modern era.
He won his first official PGA Tour tournament at the 1955 Canadian Open. The last and 62nd win of his career came in the 1973 Hope Desert Classic.
Along the way he won seven major championships, including four Masters' Green Jackets. Augusta National and Arnold Palmer will be forever linked in golf history. He, along with Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus, serve as honorary starters on Thursday morning of Masters week.
Through various endorsement agreements with Fortune 500 companies, Palmer is still annually one of the highest grossing sports figures in America.
Throughout his life he became close friends with entertainers as well as politicians. Bob Hope and President Dwight Eisenhower were frequent golfing partners.
Palmer has also been recognized off the golf course. He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal.
Palmer's golf design company was founded in 1972 and has built more than 300 golf courses worldwide. He is most proud of his Bay Hill Golf Club in Orlando and has made it his winter residence for many years. Bay Hill also hosts the Arnold Palmer Invitational every March and is a favorite among tour professionals.
He was instrumental in the foundation and development of the Golf Channel. It was the first cable channel dedicated solely to covering golf.
The man even has a drink named in his honor.
Arnold Palmer achieved the "American dream" with charisma, style and a strong work ethic. But perhaps his most important work will continue long after "The King" is gone.
He has passionately donated his time, money and talents to the growth of the Arnold Palmer Medical Center. The medical center includes the 158-bed Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children and the 285-bed Winnie Palmer Hospital for Women & Babies.
Palmer and his former wife, Winnie, became associated with the hospital in the mid 1980s and has helped to raise millions of dollars for the facilities. No child is refused treatment and thousands of families have benefited and will continue to benefit from treatment provided by the Arnold Palmer Medical Center.
Arnold Palmer was a child of the Great Depression and fully understands the gifts he has received throughout his lifetime. He signs every autograph with precision, meets every eye with a warm friendly wink and greets everyone as a long-lost friend.
Happy Birthday, Arnold. Long Live the "King."

John Gunderson vs. Dan Lauzon added to World Series of Fighting 3 | News
Lightweight John Gunderson's callout of Jacob Volkmann wasn't successful, but he did get another UFC vet for his promotional debut.
Gunderson (34-14-2) on Thursday told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps) that he is set to meet Dan Lauzon (16-4) at World Series of Fighting 3, which takes place June 14 in Las Vegas.
A venue for the event, whose main card airs live on NBC Sports Network, has yet to be confirmed.
Gunderson called out Volkmann when he signed with WSOF following his release from the UFC. Initially, the two were expected to meet, but the matchup was recently shifted.
Gunderson returns to action after suffering a neck injury that delayed his WSOF debut. He most recently fought this past July when he suffered a fourth-round submission loss to David Castillo. The setback came after impressive wins over UFC vets Karo Parisyan and Justin Buchholz.
Lauzon returns to the cage after a year-plus layoff, which put a halt to a four-fight win streak that followed a two-fight skid in the UFC. The younger brother of UFC lightweight Joe Lauzon, three of his four losses have come inside the octagon. In all but one fight, he's dominated on the regional circuit.

True North: Sustainability Research at EPA
The Agency's focus on sustainability brings an integrated approach to research, partnerships, and seeking solutions to help society now—and in the future.
To arrive at a destination, one needs to chart a course. For EPA research, the destination is sustainability—the ability for society to meet its present needs while preserving the ability of future generations to meet their own. "Our solution to a problem must not only solve the problem at hand, but it also must not create a new problem as a result. Sustainability must be our true north," says Dr. Paul Anastas, the Assistant Administrator of EPA's Office of Research and Development.
Under Anastas' leadership, the Office of Research and Development is aligning much of its diverse research portfolio into four major sustainability themes: 1) air, climate, and energy; 2) sustainable water; 3) healthy and sustainable communities; and 4) safer chemicals for sustainability.
With that effort already well underway, Anastas joined EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson and National Academy of Sciences (NAS) President Ralph Cicerone on November 30, 2010 to announce that the Agency has commissioned a National Research Council (NRC) study that will define how to incorporate sustainability concepts across all EPA programs.
The final publication, informally called the "Green Book," will follow in the tradition of the historic "Red Book" Academy report on risk assessment. "There's a lot of ongoing Agency workgroups thinking about sustainability in different contexts and they'll be ready to hit the ground running when the 'Green Book' comes out in the summer," explains EPA scientist Dr. Alan Hecht.
Hecht, a leader in sustainability and Senior Advisor to the Assistant Administrator, helped guide the 2007 release of EPA's Sustainability Research Strategy (PDF) (72 pp, 9.2 MB). The strategy highlights six themes that help define the Agency's research approach to sustainability:
- Renewable Resource Systems – sustainable natural systems
- Non-Renewable Resource Systems – extraction of fossil fuels and minerals
- Long-Term Chemical and Biological Impacts – evaluating long-term threats and promoting a shift to environmentally preferable materials
- Human-Built Systems and Land Use – building design, efficiency, and managing urban impacts
- Economics and Human Behavior – ecosystem and health values, and incentives for human choices
- Information and Decision-Making – metrics, conditions, and satellite observations.
"We need to work with others to plan more sustainably, efficiently, and effectively given the economic, environmental, and climate stresses we will face over the next several decades," emphasizes Hecht. "Pursuing partnerships to get research out to the right people, coordinating with other agencies, and addressing public policy decisions in ways that positively reinforce actions rather than creating additional regulations are key," says Hecht.
Momentum for such sustainability partnerships is growing, according to Dr. Joseph Fiksel, a sustainability expert from The Ohio State University who is currently on a special appointment at EPA helping to incorporate systems thinking into the Agency's research programs. He points out that there has been a significant upswing recently in the number of businesses with an interest in sustainable product and process design, green certification, clean manufacturing, and lifecycle management. "Businesses are responding to customer pressures to 'green' their processes and supply chains in order to differentiate their products in the marketplace," explains Fiksel.
An extensive EPA cross-program working group on green products has been busy meeting with businesses and other agencies to help clarify EPA's role in defining green products. Advancing the idea of green and sustainable products—which goes beyond typical regulatory issues—requires research on product manufacturing, green chemistry, and "green" certification in the marketplace.
According to Fiksel, another shift in EPA's approach to sustainability involves moving from a focus on waste management to materials management. Two critical elements that he identifies are: 1) including the concerns of stakeholders when addressing sustainability challenges, and 2) introducing indicators and metrics to measure and guide progress. "Typically, no single indicator will work. Multiple metrics are needed to represent sustainability, and communicating those to the public on a regular basis is important," Fiksel says.
He believes that there are virtually no environmental problems at the national level that cannot be addressed in a more integrated way, including, for example, transportation technologies, natural gas extraction methods such as hydraulic fracturing, and recycling of waste materials. In the energy field, the challenges confronting biofuels, renewable energy technologies, and fossil fuels could all benefit from a broader perspective based on systems thinking, Fiksel says.
Historically, environmental programs have largely focused on how to reduce air and water pollution, and how to identify and monitor chemical and environmental risks to human health and the environment. Today's challenges depend on the sustainable use of natural resources, and require solutions that stress the linkages between energy use, water use, land use, material consumption, environmental protection, human health, quality of life, and the global economy. The Green Book and efforts to strategically align its research efforts will help the Agency chart a course that addresses this complex suite of modern environmental challenges through science and research efforts that provide innovative, sustainable solutions.

Comments about UltraSilencer DeepClean Canister Vacuum (Silver):
This vacuum is so terrific, we paid $229 for an oreck canister that constantly blew the fuses. This hefty 12 amp motor has more suction and has not tripped on breaker anywhere in the house.
Best Uses
Comments about UltraSilencer DeepClean Canister Vacuum (Silver):
This Vaccum is light and great on carpets. It also works good on hardwood floors as well. The cord is a little short and the hose is not that flexible.
Other than that really good.

not a vacuum for a little old lady, does a great job but is hard to manuver.Serious suction, it will pull your pictures or clocks off the wall at level 5.When used on the carpet you can tell its as clean as can be with a vacuum

Comments about UltraSilencer DeepClean Canister Vacuum (Silver):
I love how easy it is to use and lightweight. Plus the canister is smaller than the other brands I was looking at. It is also easy to store in my closet. I live in an apartment. Even though it has a shorter power cord, it works fine in my place. If I had a larger home it might make a difference.

Comments about UltraSilencer DeepClean Canister Vacuum (Silver):
Very good machine. Had an Electrolux before decided to change to a Dyson. No comparison. The Electrolux
outshines the other brand hands down. Easy to clean,
pull out a bag and throw it away. The other system most of the dirt goes back on the floor not in the trash. Motor driven beater brush, not suction driven.

FESTIVE BEAUTY S.O.S | Wearing killer heels without killing yourself
YOU'VE BEEN at work all day and, if you're belong to a very small minority of the female population, you've decided it's okay to wear 6-inch stilettos to work. And you'll be damned if you crack in a moment of weakness (or pain) by taking them off or rubbing your feet. You've insisted for time immemorial that they're really comfortable (ohmigod are they not), and you'll sashay through life insisting as such, walking, head held high, into the horizon with your heels strapped in place. To each her own. This post is for women who can't mask the unbridled pain we feel with every step we take in, what I call, holiday heels on all dozen or so occasions we slip into them each year.
For those of us who haven't trained our feet to endure the unending pain of fixing spikes on our heels while we teeter around on our tippy toes, the decision to wear high heels to holiday parties -- post work or otherwise -- will be met with swift, crippling pain confining us to a chair or -- for the very steeled (or drunk) -- a gentle sway on the dance floor to momentarily take the pressure off of one foot at a time. By the end of the night those who can't resist the punchy beats of George Michael's Last Christmas will be buffing the floor with our stocking-ed feet, which is no way to treat a pair of $50 Wolford's is it?
So here's our quick guide to wearing heels without a sense of dread during the festive season:

<collective group voices> Hi Peter!
I'm a cable hoarder. What's your worst habit?
Hello. My name is Peter and I'm a cable hoarder.
I don't mean cable TV cable. I mean cables, in general. I have a tendency to keep cables long after I know I don't need them, because I'm afraid I will need them. Does that ever happen to you?
I had cause to clean out my office this week, and it became really obvious to me that I have a problem. At one point I uncovered a rat king of cables - power cables, USB, even telephone wire - that I think had grown over a period of four or five years, transferred from drawer to drawer until no office furniture could contain it.
I sat there on the floor of my office for about an hour, slowly unraveling this Gordian knot of insulated wire (and wondering where my life had gone wrong). Then it dawned on me that it wasn't the only nest of cable I had. I opened up a couple of boxes that I'd set aside probably a year ago and found more in there.
The problem is that I'm desperately afraid to throw away a cable, because I fear I might need it later.
This was driven home to me when I found a stash of white cables that came off Apple laptop power adapters. There were four of them together. My burn rate on Apple's laptop power adapters is about once every 24 months (typically the end near the Magsafe adapter wears out), which means there were eight years of those lying in wait. I also found three "duck heads" - the collapsable part of that adapter that plugs into the wall, without a cable attached.
And for what? I was convinced I'd need another one of those cables at some point because I'd lose the one with the power supply.
OK, I admit, that has happened to me before, which has probably made me more paranoid than I need to be about making sure I have a spare. But I had a spare of a spare of a spare.
Like I said, I'm a cable hoarder.
I admit that I don't have much of a use for the telephone wire anymore. But back in the day, I connected legacy Macs and network printers using PhoneNet adapters, which use phone wires to work. I've also needed fax send/receive capabilities at various points. So that's been my justification to keep them.
The worst offender - even worse than data cables - are power cables. Power cables, especially ones that terminate in wall warts, too often get separated from their respective peripherals in my office and I end wondering a) where that adapter went, and b) which one went with which device.
A few years ago I tried to get things straight by labeling them, but the labels I used were weak and peeled off. So that ended sooner than it should have.
Even though most of the computers I use can communicate via BlueTooth, most of my peripherals still demand a USB connection. Some work by FireWire. And a couple of the newer ones use Thunderbolt. I'm talking about hard drives, special devices like label printers, and game controllers.
I'm slowly weeding those out over time. I hope to be rid of anything requiring cabling - except for displays and the obligatory power cables - within the next year or so. I'm migrating my storage needs either to the cloud or to network attached storage (NAS) rather than needing a separate device on my desk. But for now I'm stuck with them.
The only big exception I'll make is for mechanical keyboards. I do love me some clickety-clack keyboards, and with a few exceptions (like Matias' excellent Laptop Pro), USB connectivity is pretty necessary.
Long term, I've just got to get better about making sure that I only keep what I absolutely need instead of what I think I might use somewhere down the road.
They say the first step towards recovery is admitting you have a problem, so I'm partly hoping that this heartfelt confession will get me going down that road. But sometimes it's tough. The tendency is still there to just stick that cable in a box or a drawer someplace rather than taking it to the recycling center.
How about you? Have you run into a problem keeping track of all your spare cables? Or do you have another tendency regarding your computer equipment that causes problems? What did you do about it? Or is this my own private Idaho? Sound off in the comments.

I'm a cable hoarder. What's your worst habit?
Me too - I have tons of cables from devices I no longer use kept around "just in case."
It's a sickness.
Oh God, I must join in also -- cable hoarder here. There's always that case where a USB, video, power or Ethernet cable "might" be needed by myself or I can be the hero to someone else and give them something. I have Ethernet cables from 3" to 100" in length. I even keep the ol' parallel printer cables! Lord knows why! This gets embarrassing when you see it typed out, rather than just knowing one is a hoarder!
Quick, someone give us a great reason to downsize before we drown in our own spaghetti!!! ;-)
I am with you, I have guitar cables, that do not work, and keep saying I can replace the bad connection, and fix the cable. Mic cables, phone cables, who knows what it is cables. I discovered zip ties. All my mess is now a neat mess. Get some zip ties. I also keep ac/dc converters, zip tied up. That came in handy only once when my cable box quick. the converter went bad. I had one that would work, so that justified keeping the rest.
I have same problem and so sad, really. I've got bags of cables that I weeded from the rest to get rid of, and have not, "just in case". I blame the rapid rise in prices for basic cables at brick & mortar stores - I look at old usb cable and quickly add up the Best Buy price... I am rich! (not really.) And for every home-based cable combo, you've got to have a travel version! I agree that my best medicine is to get everything wireless as quickly as possible.
Man. I couldn't do that. The misses would kill me. She always says "if you don't use it, bung it" "that's what the shops are for". Needless to say we're not very materialistic in our house, because we never get the chance too hang on to anything, I've just had a thought...
Right there with you, buddy.
this is how i am I have two these filled up now with just cables
I tend to horde boxes, just incase i need to "return" something, or I eventually sell it on crags list or ebay.
Hello, my name is Andy and I hoard cables.
I have a carton of several kinds of SCSI cables, another of PS2 cables and adapters. Serial, parallel, proprietary KVM...
I am so glad I'm not alone! xD
And what have I here in the midst of CAT 5, USB, & telephonies...
...SCSI cables?!
...A Parallel cable?!!
Peter, I've taken comfort in knowing I can recycle some of these things and provide additional resources back into the world for making new things for me to collect and cherish...
"My precious."

I put too much sugar in my coffee.
I don't hoard anything. I loathe clutter. I've don't have cds or dvds because they need to be stored and that means shelves and clutter. I got went digital with all that stuff. I do have a box of cables though because many are perfectly good and as i change components or buy new ones you never know what you'll need. But things i don't need get tossed like a bundle of phone cable i had. In fact i kept my old ipod charging cables and now now i keep one in the car to charge my phone on the road.
I too am a cable hoarder. I didn't know it until recently though. It just sort of happened I guess. My wife has been on a selling/donating rampage with old stuff in the basement. I realized the amount of cables I had collected while trying to save my stuff from being sold. I did go through most of them and get rid of cables that are so outdated that I could never possibly need them. I am struggling to get rid of my network cables for some reason though. The whole house is set up wireless and yet I keep thinking that there may be a need someday....
I also have a box full of wires, power adaptors, etc that I keep for future reference. The main reason being that in the history of time, no two power adaptor plugs have ever, Ever, EVER been the same for any two devices, thereby necessitating the keeping of every possible power adaptor and cable for those adaptor in the futile hope that someday that connector might be useful again.
I have bunch of Ethernet cables eating dust in my drawer. My wife keeps yelling at me to dump 'em but I never throw ..U never know when you need them!!
Sent from the iMore App
I do that to. I use the mantra that they may be of use. Case in point. I have a Bluetooth headset that my wife just found out doesn't work on the iPhone 5. This headset is over 4 years old. I through it away, but kept the charging cable just in case it came in handle for something else that I have, but have forgotten about.
"At one point I uncovered a rat king of cables - power cables, USB, even telephone wire - that I think had grown over a period of four or five years..."
Me too. I have plenty of translucent blue, orange, and green USB cables. From way back when iMacs were made of translucent colored plastic and OEMs were copying that look. And many Firewire cables that are completely useless since neither my iMac nor MBP have Firewire jacks of any kind.
I also have a huge box full of audio / video connectors. S-Video, stereo audio, speaker cables, I.LINK (Sony's name for Firewire), ad nauseam. Not to mention the box of power cables.
I am a habitual phone switcher. I cannot keep a phone for to long cuz I get bored. Since 02 when I had my first cell phone in 12th grade I've had like 30 phones. Most have been bought/sold on eBay. Currently using the Nokia 1520 and it's cool but I'm kinda missing iOS. I know I'll come back eventually then get bored again. No perfect phone. I wish I could have a phone and keep it for a 2 year period smh
Hi, my name is Brian and I am a cable hoarder. I have a two sizable boxes in the top of my closet containing home entertainment cables: coaxial, telephone, HDMI, A/V, extension cords, power for every gaming console, VCR and DVD player, USB (mini, micro, whatever), surge protectors, and speaker wire even though everything hooked up to sound in the whole damned house is now wireless... Each of our 3 cars has at least 2 lightning cables and one micro USB cable. I have Macbook chargers stashed at both offices, home, and a spare that I carry in my backpack. We clean out our house every year before Christmas to prepare for the influx of junk that comes with the holidays. Every year my wife asks me to get rid of some cables. Every year I look at her like she has lost her mind. My only saving grace is that I keep every cable bound with a zip tie or twist tie.
Sent from the iMore App
My worst habit is crystal! I need that blue stuff daily! Bring Back Mr White!!!
Nah but seriously, I do have a serious cable problem also,
Cut the cords Peter. I only have a few cords. I wish technology would move into wireless power cords. That would reduce the additional cords.
Sent from the iMore App
Count me in. I have cables whose device they belong to were thrown away years ago.
Sent from the iMore App
I have lots of modern/useful cables but I also have many parallel/phone/RCA cables that will never be used again.
Sent from the iMore App
Guilty. Way too many RJ-11s, a bunch of low-grade Ethernets, and a crapload of USB 2.0 and Firewire 400s… all sorted into individual ziploc bags. Some of those need to go away soon, either in a Goodwill box or in the e-waste haul. Your article is a good reminder of that.
My solution for wall-wart power cables: label them with red sharpie. It's reflective enough to read.
Hi Peter,
My name is Alex and i also have the same affliction,
I am currently moving house and have three large boxes of cables that i keep 'Just in case' I have numerous telephone cables and USB to Mini-B that will probably never be satisfied in their purpose, banished to the dark depths of a store room with no hope of meeting their devices or a computer port.
Even my wife has noticed my hoarding of such cables and my go to response is 'why would i want to bin them, only to have to buy one later!', This response is wearing thin and i would not be surprised if these boxes 'got lost' during the move.
My only saving grace is that she too is a hoarder, but of empty perfume bottles and shoes!
I may spend some time to sort them out and remove the metal from these cables to get scrap value back although this may only amount to pennies.
Until then i will continue to visit my monthly (C)able (H)oarder (A)nonymous meetings

I don't use it because I don't have any newsstand apps. If I had an iPad it might be different, but I don't read news on my phone and I don't subscribe to on going charge services, so newsstand has no place for me yet.
Poll: Are you using Newsstand?
Newsstand isn't iBooks for magazines or newspapers, but it is a centralized place to put all the magazine and newspaper apps for your iPhone and iPad, and a quick way to get to the Newsstand optimized section of the App Store. A few publishers have said that alone has substantially increased their revenue, but what has it done for us users?
It lets us more nicely organize those newspaper and magazine apps, and we get to see front page or cover art rather than the app icon, but the apps themselves are still a crapshoot when it comes to quality and design. iBooks are pretty unified -- I buy a book and I know how to navigate through it and easily read it, and I know if I put it down on my iPad when I leave home, I can open it up and keep going from the same place when I open it again on my iPhone at work. If I want to read my Trashy Gossip Mag, no such luck.
With Newsstand we sometimes get straight exports from the magazine or newspaper themselves, almost like PDF printouts, ads and all, with littl in the way of iOS specific features and nothing that takes advantage of the technology literally at our fingertips. Other times we get more immersive experiences with sound, movies, and easy sharing if we so choose.
And the subscription options are all over the place, but mostly they still don't match up with traditional options. Why can't we, universally, buy an issue for the same or cheaper cover price, or subscribe for the same or cheaper yearly option? If I can get one issue of Trashy Gossip Mag for $5 and 12 for $20, shouldn't we have the same option on iPad?
Should Apple create a proper iNews apps like iBooks with standardized pricing and presentation? Should they go back to just apps, on their own? Or is Newsstand the answer?
Vote in the poll up top and let me know where you stand on everything from pricing to ads to the quality of the content itself in comments!

Poll: Are you using Newsstand?
I would love to use it more, but hardly anyone seems to be producing comparable content!!
I love Newsstand on the iPad in theory. And for the few magazines I subscribe to digitally, when I want to read it, I'm relieved to find it already downloaded so I don't have to waste time on that. But right magazines are a mishmosh. Some of my digital subscriptions use Newsstand, and some don't, so I still have a separate folder for those other magazines. I wish I could at least put them all in one folder so it doesn't take up two icons.
On the iPhone, it's just silly. I have exactly one app in the Newsstand, the NY Times, so the fact that it lives there means I have to go through an extra tap to access it.

For now, you can -- but only if you never want to use it, because opening Newsstand while it is in a folder will reboot Springboard.
The trick is to create a folder, and during the split second that new folder is being created, you can drag other folders (like Newstand) inside it.
I would not be surprised if Apple blocked this, but, for now, it works.
wow, i wouldn't have expected so many 'no, it's horrible's
It's another attempt to rescue magazines, which have been sentenced to obsolescence with the advent of the internet. I used to like magazines when I could not get fresh information all the time.
Magazine publishers need to reinvent their product, and not just find new ways for us to buy crystallized content. Every journalist should write their stories on a Storify-type system, and magazines should organize that content and charge for the content and the organization. It's not that hard, c'mon.
No, I don't use Newsstand. It frustrates the everloving crap out of me that I cannot put the icon in a folder. I keep all the standard apps that I never use in a folder, EXCEPT this one... lame.
I don't see why you've attached "it's horrible" to "no".
I don't think it's a horrible idea for newspaper and magazine apps, I just don't have any use for newspaper and magazine apps since I get the paper at work and magazines are no longer worth reading.
Do I use it? No. Do I think it's horrible? That seems a little severe.
I'd possibly use it if there were some totally free magazines or digital issues were much cheaper.
It is very annoying that you can't hide or delete the Newstand icon. I did the trick to hide it but it came back!
I'm not sure that this is the right question. I think the question should be to magazine publishers. Why aren't they all using Newstand? Do they feel they need to have their own app icon on my iPad? Should Apple force all magazine apps to launch through Newstand?
I do not think Apple should enforce a cohesive look and feel for the magazine apps but maybe some standards like Xbox did with xbox live games when they started that service. I don't mind that when I select a magazine it launches their app. I like that they have the freedom to be creative. Wired magazine is great and I actually prefer reading it on the iPad now.
As far as my usage, I love having all of my magazines in a central location. I did that before iOS5 using a folder. Newstand gives me the extra benefit of being able to see the latest issue and having that issue pushed.
My answer is more like, "No, it's not compelling yet". There are no Newsstand titles I want to read. Maybe later, though.
Learn how to write survey options, please... Are you trying to collect data, such as how much we use the app, or show that you can append cutesy comments to the choices. I may use it (Yes!) but think it's horrible that the icon can be in a folder, or (No!) never use it simply because there is no content that appeals to me. Don't mix factu and subjective
You can download Mazazines online in PDF or free then read them in iBooks. That's what I do.
I'm subscribing to all these magazines to make my newsstand look pretty.
Wow, lots of surprising negativity! I subscribe to Spin, as well as Wired mag, which recently made the digital copy free with the regular paper subscription. Both these mags offer a lot of extra media in their digital form (Wired includes videos, etc.; Spin includes a streamable playlist of featured new artists).
In my opinion, it adds to the experience of reading magazines.
That's the thing... if publishers would let you have the digital edition free with a paper subscription it would get more people using newsstand but as others have said why read a magazine with old outdated info when the current info is online?

It's annoying. My NYT app updates at about 3:30AM. Before I leave for work at 6:30, I manually update the app. A lot of new content is published during those three hours. I wish Newstand had a setting so you could control what time it retrieves new issues.
HERE'S THE DEAL! You can download Magazines for FREE online in PDF form and read them in iBooks...
I have National Geographic, Popular Science, Car&Driver, SkyNews, and even Playboy....
Why subscribe to mags on Newsstand? To make your shelf look "pretty"?
Try my iBooks idea, it's really awesome.
Science has yet to develop a system of measurement small enough to describe how little I care about Newsstand.
I have subscriptions to about a dozen print mags. I love the idea of getting rid of all that paper -- and paper cuts -- by reading on iPad. However, until pricing is brought more in line with print subscriptions, I'll wait it out. As an example, I offer you "Wired." I can subscribe to print edition for $10 to $12/year -- and get the iPad edition as an extra added free bonus. Or, I can subscribe only to iPad edition for $20. No thanks. I'll not be renewing until I can get iPad edition for $10 to $12/year, without having to take delivery of paper.
I am planning on renewing my subscription of Esquire this time for the ipad instead of the paper periodical. Too bad they only offer one or the other unlike the other magazines. I would also like it better if there was syncing like iBooks. I want to say read an article in the New Yorker and then open to the same page on my iPhone if need be. One subscription that covers all of my devices.
I would use it if the per issue or yearly subscription prices were more reasonable. Publishers just aren't going to get any money from me at the prices they're asking.
What a pita! An inconvenience for the user but who cares, apple can drive new revenues from publishers " clamoring " to get on board. But wait, there is nothing to read there but the NYT. And I wAs perfectly happy just opening that app just 1 time to read. Now I am forced to open 2 apps to reD
Here's my issue..
It's RIDICULOUS to FORCE the use of Newstand. Case-in-point, with the NYT I try to read it everyday. When the NYT app sat on the screen it was simple, and easy to read with ONE CLICK, but since it's been forced under Newstand, I now have to click twice-as-much to bring-up NYT. Like most developers, I'm lazy.. so I end-up not reading it at all.
I switched to just creating a link to NYT on my screen.. Why make people work more?
Hey this is a great looking site, is wordpress? Forgive me for the foolish question but if so, what theme is? Thanks!
Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wished to say that I have really enjoyed browsing your blog posts. In any case I will be subscribing in your feed and I am hoping you write once more very soon!

text: The Korean blockbuster The Man From Nowhere is "laced with black humor and some truly impressive action sequences... a quietly building slow burn of a film" says Todd Brown on Lee Jeong-Beom "serves notice that he's got some John Woo in him, too, and though only two films into his career Lee has clearly established himself as one of the leaders of Korea's young generation." Adds Sean Axmaker, the whole thing "is pretty damn slick, suitably grim and just a little cute, thanks to the innocent adoration of a little girl waiting for a hero to save the day."

Senior Anthony Hodge Junior Adam Weaver
Anthony Hodge and Adam Weaver have been named the Hilbert College Co-Student-Athletes of the Month for February, 2013.
Hodge (Brooklyn, NY/Telecommunication Arts & Technology/Clinton Community College/Plattsburg State) led the men's basketball team to their first regular season AMCC championship with his stellar play in his final season of his career. The 5'8 guard led Hilbert in several categories in the six February games: 37.2 minutes per game, 20.7 points, 3.3 assists and 3.2 steals per game. The Hawks finished the month 5-1 overall with their only loss coming in the semi-final game of the AMCC Final Four, which Hilbert earned the right to host for the first time since joining the league. His most impressive game of the month was against Pitt-Greensburg when he scored 23 points and pulled down a season-high 7 rebounds helping the Hawks retain their share of AMCC title. Hodge was named as an AMCC 1st Team All-Conference member and finished the season averaging 16.7 points, 3.4 rebounds, 2.8 assists and lead the team with 65 steals (2.5).
Hodge is a Criminal Justice major and carries a cumulative 3.03 GPA
Weaver (Stow, OH/Archbishop Hoban) led the men's volleyball team with 147 kills and 22 service aces while adding 79 digs and 14 blocks. His 4.20 kills per set, 0.63 aces per set and 2.26 digs per set ranked him nationally early in the season. On the March 3rd NCAA rankings, Weaver sat at #2 in Kills per Set and #17 for Aces per set while ranking in the top 50 in Hitting Percentage (3.02) and Digs per Set. On January 26th, Weaver became Hilbert College's All-Time Kill Leader and was named as the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference's Player of the Week on February 4. The following week, the outside hitter was again honored by the AMCC as the Player of the Week, marking the college's first athlete to ever be honored in back-to-back weeks.
Weaver carries a 3.79 cumulative grade point average majoring in Criminal Justice.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

I don't know why but I prefer the graph vs. the ruled pads.
I prefer the graph as well, but I wish the lines on the paper were less obtrusive. The new dot grid paper may be an interesting alternative.

YES!! I remember doing those dot games!!! My whole extended family is in Connectcut but my family lives in Virginia, so several times a year as a kid, I would spend 8-10 hours in the car (each way). My sister and I would make these large dot grids and play games where you connect two dots to make a line, taking turns. When you were the one to draw a line that completed a box, you put your initial in it. You'd go until all the 'boxes' were claimed, and whoever had the most boxes won! Wow...I haven't thought about that game in YEARS. These pads would have been perfect for that!!! Gosh....kids these days just have it so easy
I hear ya about obtrusive lines on the grid. I prefer grids on size 14, but anything bigger just doesn't feel right. Lined Rhodia pads have never done anything for me; blank or grid, please. The dot pad is excellent, too. I picked up a few size 16 dot pads and absolutely love them. I would have been thrilled to have these as a kid (my siblings played a lot of dot games to pass the summers and occasional road trips of our youth).

I just bought two Rhodia pads (2.9" x 4.1")at Target and all of this size and one size larger is in graph form instead of just lined. Only the larger journal size is offered in lined or graph form. I know that I will like the pads I bought but I do not like the graph format. They are the right size though to fit in my shirt pocket and that is the reason that I bought them.
W00t! Target caries Rhodia pads! I need these as I have developed CRS and have to write everything down, lest I forget...

My local Target carries the Reverse Book and the No. 18 graph pad (R18200), but that's it. I've seen pictures of other Targets that have a much more extensive selection.

The little notepads are much of the same, except since they aren't square, it makes even more sense that it's graph. I use staple-side up (thin side) for short notes, observations, etc. Then I can freely-rotate the notepad to staple-side left (wide side) for long strands of thought, poetry, long observations, etc. I personally find this great as I seem to have spurts of both throughout the day, and it's not hard to switch my notepad to the side to read these notes.
Of course, this works best with graph paper, hence why I prefer Rhodia notepads. Try it out when you have more than just a small thought to write down. You may just find you quite like it!

On Friday, April 1, an assortment of McFarlane Toys' 3-inch MLB Series 2 two-packs were given out to all audience members on The Tony Danza Show. This promotion is in conjunction with MLB's Opening Day festivities.
The Tony Danza Show is a national show that is broadcast on multiple networks, from ABC to UPN to NBC.
Perhaps best known for his sitcom personas, Danza is one of America's most popular performers. Having starred on some of television's most beloved and long-running series -- from Taxi to Who's the Boss -- Danza also has established himself as a stage and screen star, as well as a respected entertainer. And now he's entered the world of daytime television with The Tony Danza Show, a new talk show blending celebrity interviews, human-interest stories, cooking and audience participation. The show launched in Fall 2004 in national syndication.
In addition to the on-air product giveaway, since Tony is such a huge Yankees fan, Major League Baseball and McFarlane Toys are giving him a Don Mattingly 3-inch figure, signed by Mattingly and Todd. The figure is the Toy R Us exclusive that will be available only at Todd's signing at TRU in New York City on April 14.

Daily updates
These daily updates were written by participants at the Our Chalet event.
Sangam event daily updates are also available.
Day 1 - 14 March
"To be able to lead others you first need to learn how to lead yourself"
After an 8:00a.m start for breakfast, we all gathered at the flagpole for our official opening ceremony. We started by everybody introducing themselves. It turned out there were approximately 30 participants and facilitators present for the week, from around 27 different countries.
We learned we were linked with more than 30 participants at this very moment joining in the seminar in Sangam, India for the week.
We then had a photo shoot of all the participants and the planning team, which made us feel quite famous! We also got into patrols and chose our patrol name and motto. For example, our patrol is called SUMIT.
No, we don't have a spelling problem! This is an anagram of all our native countries: Slovenia, U.S.A. and U.K; Malta, Ireland and Tanzania.
The first session was titled "Me as a Leader". It featured two very familiar "Helen Storrow" facilitators!
They took us on a journey through Our Chalet of self discovery. We learned more about ourselves as leaders and evaluated ourselves on things we must improve on.
For the next session, we took a closer look at how we are interacting with the environment at a global level. We learned what it means to be a global citizen, and we also calculated our personal ecological footprint. Many surprised faces here!
We realised we can reduce our consumption needs. As a practical implication of this newly acquired knowledge, we are taking a reading of our water meter each day. Today we found we used 3400 litres of water. That's roughly 110 litres per person!
This has inspired us to conserve water as much as possible. All in all, this was an amazing start to this incredible experience and we're very much looking forward to the next five days!
SUMIT Patrol
Day 2 - 15 March
"In order to develop as a leader we need to understand what Leadership actually is"
This morning, we had the chance to spend some time outside in the sun and snow, doing some team activities.
There was a round robin of five different activities, each led by a different member of the patrol, using assigned leadership styles. It was challenging to complete these tasks when the leadership style often did not match the needs of the group and instructions given for the activity.
Following this, we had an interesting discussion about the different leadership types, and how we felt in situations where these different types of leadership are used.
One activity we did was sledding down the hill while picking up some colored cups stuck in the snow.
After lunch, we talked about what values are, prioritized our five most important values and then traded our values with other participants. For a lot of us, the environment was identified as a particularly important value, along with family, friendship, honesty and respect.
Finally, it was time to celebrate the cultural diversity of the group, with international night! The International Night (pictured, right) was was an amazing chance to get to know each other better and learn about other cultures with costumes, games, songs, dances and food!
Our final session for the afternoon was about what biodiversity is, and what things are putting it under threat.
Today's water usage was down from yesterday's 110 to 95 litres per person! Well done!
Something that made us think from today that we'd like to share:
How come that we tend to judge others by their behaviour, and ourselves by our good intentions?
Irish quotation
Day 3 - 16 March
Day of widening the environmental horizons
Today we started off with a fun game at the flag pole and started today's theme of learning about the environment.
We then enjoyed a morning in the sun, by visiting different stations, where we learned about various WAGGGS resources concerning the environment. Examples are activity ideas on the MDGs and information on how to pitch project ideas to potential investment partners.
We then had an inspirational talk by Katie, one of the WAGGGS' delegates at the COP15 and16 conferences. She showed that with a lot of motivation and effort you can even make a difference during a world wide conference.
|As a special treat today we got to link up with the girls at the Sangam World Center and shared our new experiences and thoughts about what we have learned so far.
We had much fun during the link-up and we performed a sketch on carbon dioxide. After lunch we had the honor of meeting Margot Hill,researcher on climate change and climate change impacts, who gave a speech on Connective Climates.
Her performance made us more aware about the links between researchers, the government and financial instruments that help to tackle climate change.
To reflect on our own experience with protecting the environment we shared important stories in the "Story telling session".
|The stories from our past made us realize that we are all affected by environment, no matter who we are or where we live. They motivate and inspire us to take action in our own communities and see how a small action can make a big difference.
Our day will end with watching two films that are concerned with our seminar themes – "Inconvenient Truth" and "Erin Brockovich".
Even though we keep showering , we still managed to decrease our water usage! 93.9 litres per person today! Hurrayyy!
This short review was brought to you by The Amazing Aozora. Blue skies for a better future! See you tomorrow.

Day 4 - 17 March
Team, Conflict and Change: all in a day at Our Chalet
Another bright and sunny day dawned at Our Chalet! We had chance to enjoy the beauty of the grounds
this time Igloo building. We set off with our shovels and plastic boxes ready for a teamwork session.
After an hour and half we had discovered different roles in a team environment – and had a go at most of them too – we also had three lovely igloos (oh, and not forgetting the planning teams' effort making it four.) The experience of snow makes for a more memorable experience especially when it comes to the technicalities of the igloo roof.
The key lessons we learnt were: role of team members, communication skills, the importance of team work and the most important being that a team can do more than an individual.
After lunch, we had a session about different conflicts: using role play to demonstrate them. We learnt that conflict should not just be seen as negative but it is an opportunity to change in a positive way. Linking to the earlier session we had a discussion in teams, each of us took a different role during the debate. Each role had different values regarding the topic and this gave us an opportunity to put the conflict management theory into practice.
Our final session of the day was change management. We discussed different types of change (Political, Economical, Social, Technological and Environmental) and the impact they have on girls and young women. We discovered the importance of change our perspective regarding different situations so that we can see the whole picture.
Water update was disappointing today, after decreasing the amount used for the past 2 days it was an increase. We are back up to 115 litres per person..... We must do better for the rest of the week.
Happy St Patrick's Day to all the Irish out there.

You are brilliant, and the Earth is hiring!
Today was all about advocacy and changing the world in our own way- we are only one person but the power of one person can move a mountain.
We started the day with a session which taught us about advocacy and how to develop and plan a project. We talked through the steps from choosing an issue we feel passionate about, to implementing the project, to assessing the project. We applied this knowledge to our own ideas and created a short spoken message which we filmed outside in the beautiful Swiss Alps.
After a lovely morning tea (with yummy chocolate biscuits) we split into four different workshops: Influencing people and lobbying, campaign planning, communication skills, and media skills. We each enjoyed these sessions because we were able to learn something new and exciting in small groups.
Then it was lunch!
Then we watched a documentary called "Taking Root" about Wangari Maanthai, a Kenyan Professor who fought for the protection of the environment and for women in her country. She was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for her work. She is an inspiring example of what one person can do to change the world around them.
Finally, we had time to think about our personal environmental projects which we will begin when we arrive back in our home countries. We shared our thoughts with the Seminar planning team who were very helpful in assisting us to shape our projects.
Finally, we enjoyed learning about our beautiful host country during Swiss Night. A local gentleman named Fritz played the Alpenhorn for us, we sang some songs, acted out the William Tell story, had a quiz and ate chocolate fondue…. lovely, lovely, lovely. What a night!
And guess what? It snowed today!!!!! This was the first time Caitlin the Australian and Ruby from Taiwan had seen falling snow. Excitement!
As for our water consumption, it decreased to 93.3 litres per person, which is a record low and we´re all very proud.
To finish our daily update, we want to include a quote for you all from a speech by Paul Hawken that Andii shared with us today:
Each of you is as complex and beautiful as all the stars in the universe, and you are facing the most amazing, stupefying challenge ever faced by a generation.
The generations before you failed. They didn't stay up all night to look at the stars. They got distracted and lost sight of the fact that every moment of life is a miracle.
Nature beckons you to be on her side. You couldn't ask for a better boss. The most unrealistic person in the world is the cynic, not the dreamer. This is your century. Take it and run with it as if your life depends on it.
Paul Hawken
Day 6 - 19 March
A day of Action Plans and Goodbyes
The final day dawned at Our Chalet, and the good news: it was still snowing!
Today the main aim of the day was to finalise our project ideas and then create action plansfor when we return home. We spent the morning learning about the process of developing an action plan and the purpose of each stage.
We then split into peer groups and started to develop our individual action plans. Working in peer groups really helped us to get our ideas flowing and bouncing off each other helped us to develop our ideas further. By afternoon tea we had all developed an action plan: everyone was very proud of themselves and others.
We had another link up with Sangam World Centre. We shared our project ideas and ourexperiences of the week. It was good to hear that although we are in different parts of the world we are all working on similar ideas with similar visions.
The rest of the afternoon was spent evaluating the week and filling up each other's recycled bags with messages and goodies to take home.
The last activity of the week was the closing and final campfire. We all gathered around a large screen and the closing started. The planning team had put together a slide show of pictures which was lovely to watch. We then gathered around in the snow where a trefoil had been shaped in the snow: here we shared our favourite memory of the week. The singing of the world song concluded the 2012 Helen Storrow Seminar: Young Women Leading for a Greener Future.
|Our final campfire was an international affair - we sang songs from all over the world including songs from each of the five WAGGGS regions. It was a lovely way to spend our last evening together and we all had lots of fun.
The past week has been a week of fun, laughter and learning. Each of us has formed international friendships which we will never forget. Safe travels to everyone.
The final water update of the week 93.1 litres, this is the lowest it has been! It just goes to show that small changes can make a big difference.

text: SOUTH CHARLESTON Although no criminal charges have been filed, the Boone County Sheriffs Department and the South Charleston Police Department are investigating an incident that happened Sunday at an Exxon gas station at Southridge Shopping Center.Southridge Shopping Center is located just off U.S. 119 (Corridor G) in South Charleston.South Charleston Police said the initial reports alleges the deputy, his wife and another man became involved in an argument outside of the gas station and then it turned physical between the two men.One report stated that the deputy was choking the man. The incident ended when police say the deputy got into his cruiser and rammed the car the man and the deputy's wife were in. Police say there was no damage to the cruiser and the car only suffered minor damage.Boone County Sheriff Rodney Miller says the deputy has been placed on administrative leave and an internal investigation is underway.He is on administrative leave pending the results of our investigation, Miller said. Miller added that the matter is being taken seriously, but after reviewing the stores video surveillance it doesnt appear as bad as an incident that was initially reported.No criminal charges have been filed against anyone regarding this incident and it doesnt appear at this point that there will be any filed, Miller said.However, Miller said his department is looking at possible violations of internal best practices, policies and procedures by a deputy.We will take the appropriate action, if necessary, following our internal investigation, Miller added.The deputy's name has not been released just yet. Miller says he is waiting for more information from South Charleston Police before deciding what if any discipline the deputy may face.South Charleston Police also said neither side wants to press any charges.
